Description
Chattanooga City Council Meeting on 4-14-20
A
B
Thank
you
a
few
words
mr.
chair.
This
has
been
a
difficult
time
for
all
of
us
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
call
to
our
attention
a
couple
of
things
number
one.
You
know
we
were
raised
in
our
family
that
if
God
gives
you
gifts,
it's
not
because
you're
so
special,
it's
to
use
for
the
benefit
of
others
in
the
Old
Testament.
It's
called
tikkun
olam,
that's
what
the
Hebrew
is.
B
It
means
repair
of
the
world
and,
as
we
have
heard,
from
councilman
Ledford,
our
police
department,
our
fire
department,
our
public
works
department
and
many
of
us
have
been
about
repairing
the
world,
not
about
our
egos.
It's
not
about
our
popularity,
it's
about
doing
for
others,
and
may
we
continue
to
repair
the
world.
The
other
thing
that
comes
to
mind
is
that
probably
the
most
important
things
in
life
are
not
things
at
all.
Thank
You,
mr.
chair
I,
move
the
agenda.
Thank.
A
A
D
Mr.
Jarrah
I'd
like
to
start
out
by
thanking
councilperson
burgers.
That
was
absolutely
beautiful
and
it
was
a
wonderful,
wonderful
way
to
start
the
rest
of
our
lives
as
well
as
this
meeting
so
I
just
like
to
say
thank
you
for
that
very,
very,
very
heartfelt
and
inspirational
to
me.
I'd
also
before
I
go
a
nomination
out
there
like
to
thank
you.
Mr.
chair,
you've
done
an
excellent
job.
It's
been
my
pleasure.
A
A
Are
there
any
other
nominations
from
the
floor?
Are
there
any
other
nominations
from
the
floor?
I
now
ask
for
a
motion
to
close
the
nominations
with
one
say:
a
name,
a
mood:
okay,
it's
been
moved
and
properly
seconded
councilman
bird
okay.
Let's
do
a
roll
call
vote
on
the
nomination
of
councilman
chip
Henderson
for
chair.
A
A
A
F
A
A
F
Thank
You,
councilman
old
will
be,
and
first
of
all,
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
over
this
past
year,
particularly
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks
and
this
new
era
of
technology
and
our
online
meetings.
I
feel
like
you've
done
an
excellent
job
and
I
certainly
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
I
want
to
thank
the
entire
council
for
their
trust
that
they've
placed
in
me.
Putting
me
at
the
at
the
chair
and
I
certainly
appreciate
that.
G
You
mr.
chairman
and
I
would
also
like
to
echo
your
sentiments
towards
councilman
Oglesby.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
pleasure,
sir,
serving
under
your
leadership
and
serving
alongside
of
you
as
I.
Do
with
every
member
of
Council
I,
truly
appreciate
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
Vice
Chairman
I
would
like
to
place
it
to
nomination
councilman
Ken,
Smith,
okay,.
F
A
C
Taken
gratulations
to
you
as
well
I
think
a
bigger
congratulation
to
pass
the
chair
ovals,
be
on
the
second
best
day
as
chairman
of
the
City
Council,
and
thank
you
to
everyone,
I'm
very
honored,
to
be
able
to
engage
in
in
this
role
yet
once
again
and
I
look
forward
to
the
next
year.
So
far,
it's
it's
been
an
interesting
one,
just
in
the
last
several
months,
so
we
we
will
keep,
keep
on
keeping
on
and
doing
what
we
can
to
serve
this
city.
Thank
you.
Thank.

You,
mr.
chairman,
this
is
a
situation
where
we
normally
probably
wouldn't
use
an
r3
tool,
but
it
is
in
the
community
benefit
in
what
the
community
wish
to
happen
in
reduction
in
density.
So
I
do
feel
this
is
the
right
Avenue
to
travel
down
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
Planning
version.
G
F
A
F
E
Resolution
authorizes
the
administrator
for
the
department
of
economic
and
Community
Development
to
renew
a
contract
with
Civic
plus
for
management
software
system
that
facilitates
online
reservations
to
payments
for
city
parks
facilities
and
outdoor
Chattanooga
programs.
For
the
first
of
two
available
renewal
terms
in
the
amount
of
$12,500
all.
F
A
C
F
F
F
I
Sir,
what's
going
on
with
this
application,
the
neighborhood
of
Madison
they're
working
on
getting
their
things
together
when
it
comes
to
rules
and
regulations
of
how
they
would
like
for
me
to
represent
them
when
it
comes
to
short-term
vacation
rentals?
So
I
would
like
to
ask
the
city
attorney
and
mr.
Caleb
from
this
point
that
we
read
now
by
our
own
rules
and
regulations.
How
far
can
I
defer
this
out
to
give
this
community
time
to
work
with
this
young,
the
people
that
are
trying
to
submit
for
the
short-term
vacation
rental?
H
I
F
F
C
E
F
E
F
N
There
it
is
alright
1721
West,
39th
Street
Street,
the
first
short-term
rental
of
the
year
I'm.
Here
you
can
see
the
surrounding
short-term
rentals,
mostly
the
green,
being
owner-occupied
issued
with
purple
non-owner
occupied
on
the
outskirts.
This
is
the
overhead
satellite
view
of
the
property.
Here
we
have
the
pictures
from
various
angles
around
it:
the
corner
down
long
view
down
West
39th,
up
West,
39th
kind
of
the
back
angle
of
the
property
show
in
the
parking
pad
down
West
39th
and
then
the
timeline
showing
turned
in
the
application
2nd
day
of
January.
N
C
F
A
F
A
C
H
H
C
A
C
C
F
O
P
P
And
while
I
can
appreciate
that
and
understand
that
it
just
it's
a
public
road,
and
so
they
they
simply
don't
have
the
legal
capacity
to
mandate
traffic
on
a
road,
particularly
particularly
to
a
property
that
a
homeowner
owns
or
anyone
owns,
and
so
I
certainly
understand
the
concern.
But
there's
also
been
some
confusion.
Maybe
between
some
of
the
opposition
and
the
developer
builder
unrelated
to
me
has
nothing
to
do
with
me,
but
I
think
they
were
told
that
maybe
the
city
was
going
to
redo
the
road,
because
the
roads
in
poor
condition
I
agree.
P
But
that
is
a
matter
between
the
residents
and
the
city
of
Chattanooga
on
the
second
issue
that
keeps
coming
up
is
parking
and
I
heard
two
of
the
opposition
say
that
they
were
promised
that
parking
and
again
I
feel
for
them,
because
they
don't
have
parking
like
I
do
but
I
also
built
that
parking
on
the
property
that
I
illegally
owned
and
I
built
it
intentionally
and
at
great
cost.
It
has
a
retaining
wall
that
is
made
out
of
the
material
that
you
build
interstates
with
you
know,
because
it
was
meant
to
be.
P
There
is
meant
to
stay
there
and
be
safe
and
secure,
and
look
good
and
so
I
heard
two
people
say
that
that
they
would
promise
that
and
if
that's
something
the
Builder
or
the
developer,
told
them.
I
am
terribly
sorry,
but
it's
a
civil
matter
between
them
and
the
Builder
and
that
there's
a
legal
deed
that
tells
us
who
owns
the
parking.
And
it's
me
it's
on
my
deed.
I,
have
it
via
a
warranty
deed.
P
You
can
easily
Park.
You
know
certainly
for
cars
at
no
problem,
if
you
got
created,
you
can
park
more
or
maybe
five.
You
know
one
thing
I
mentioned
I
did
talk
with
mr.
Ogilvie
and
I
did
mention
I'm
perfectly
fine.
With
the
restriction
of
three
parking,
no
more
than
having
three
cars
there.
I
don't
think
that's
even
don't
be
an
issue
most
mental
or
vacation
travelers
business
travellers.
They
they
really
don't
come
with
many
cars.
They
usually
come
with
a
car.
P
Sometimes
they
over
and
I
think
you
I
think
they
will
find
that
there's
actually
less
traffic
on
the
street
than
if
I
put
a
long-term
tenant
in
there
or
if
I
live
there.
If
I
move
there,
I
personally
would
bring
three
vehicles
with
me
and
and
I
would
come
in
and
out
of
my
property
a
lot
and
have
friends
over
for
dinner
and
whatnot.
That's
not
gonna,
be
the
case.
I'm
sure
it
would
be
probably
high
occupancy
would
be
fifty
percent.
P
The
other
thing
I
will
say:
is
there
precedents,
obviously
to
have
st
arted
around
here?
We
can
see
that
there
are
other
STRs
and
it's
a
the
zoning
for
the
St.
Ours
was
already
established
by
the
city
and
that's
actually
one
of
the
reasons.
I
bought
ferries
because
it
was
established
and
there
was
precedents.
P
Most
of
them
knew
that
the
opposition,
because
they
purchased
in
eighteen
or
nineteen
when
that
was
clearly
established,
there's
no
HOA.
There
never
has
been
an
HOA
and
I
understand
why
people
like
HOAs,
but
there's,
there's
literally
thousands
of
neighborhoods
in
Chattanooga
that
have,
and
this
one
does
not
so
again,
like
I
said
last
week:
I
want
to
do
everything.
I
can
to
be
to
not
cause
any
issues
with
the
neighborhood
or
whatnot.
Somebody
mentioned
the
grass
last
week.
I'll
go
ahead
and
address
that
in
case
I,
don't
get
a
chance
to
totally
my
fault.
P
I've
had
a
hysterectomy
and
been
out
of
work,
and
then
the
coronavirus
and
just
had
not,
and
there's
nothing
been
going
on
this.
It's
been
mowed,
it's
it's
on
a
schedule,
it'll
be
taken
care
of,
and
there
won't
be
any
other
issues,
but
I
want
to
like
I
said,
want
to
be
a
good
neighbor
want
to
do
the
best
thing.
I
can
but
I
want
to
use
the
property
the
way
I
believe
it
is
legally
written
to
be
able
to
use.
That's
all
okay.
F
C
F
Q
F
R
C
F
C
Mister
I've
no
I
do
not
see
that
I'll
tell
you.
Mr.
chair,
we've
got
Ben
Grady,
Jamie,
Riley,
art,
Louis,
Janey
and
Doug
done,
and
vicki
lewis.
Those
are
the
only
individuals
that
have
registered
to
speak
in
opposition
in
this
case
and
I.
Don't
there
is
a
count,
there's
a
Calvin
Lewis,
but
I,
don't
know
if
that's
related
to
art
and
Vicki
and
other
than
that,
sir.
Nobody
else
raising
their
hands
are
on
my
list.
Okay,.
C
R
Thank
you,
City
Council,
and
there
is
a
there
is
one.
Thank
you.
There
is
more
issues
than
just
the
parking,
and
now
this
we
do
have
elderly
people,
we'll
wrap
it
around
the
house,
and
this
is
to
us
not
a
residence.
When
you
are
renting
out
the
property
to
people,
a
short-term
rental,
that's
more
of
a
business.
We
should
not
have
to
deal
with
the
problems
to
let
loud
music
people
coming
and
going
on
here.
They
are
when
we
are
instance
at
the
neighborhood.
She
is
not
the
others.
R
Our
Airbnb
is
where
for
residents
this
one
is
not
and
I
do
not
think
this
falls
under
residential
when
she's
making
many
and
we're
dealing
with
the
problems
and
with
destruction
going
on
to
baths.
The
house
there's
a
are
a
too
much
traffic
good
that,
but
that's
not
all
the
issues.
We
just
do
not
want
as
a
short-term
rental
at
this
type
in
our
neighborhood,
and
we
will
continue
to
oppose
it
every
year
it
comes
up
and
if
there's
a
problem,
I
will
call
the
police
every
time
there's
a
problem.
That's
it.
Okay,.
M
Right
thanks
guys
yeah,
so
we
had
a
neighborhood
meeting
about
this
and
mr.
Holmes.
We
was
kind
enough
to
come
out
and
just
kind
of
hear
us
through
and
so
for
me
personally,
it's
absolutely
nothing
personal
against
miss
green
at
all.
To
me,
it's
it's
an
issue
with
our
little
corner
of
st.
Elmo
up
here
and
for
my
concern
my
wife's
concerned.
Certainly,
we
have
safety
concerns.
Parking
up.
Here
is
an
issue
for
sure
as
mr.
M
Holmes,
but
you
can
see
it's
steep
like
the
picture
showed
and
I
get
that
the
road
the
public
road
is
not
miss.
Greens
problem
I
agree
with
that.
The
concerns
that
we
have
noise,
the
neighborhood
is
an
opposition,
and
another
thing
that
we
discussed
is
there
are
studies
that
show
that
property
values
can
be
negatively
affected
by
this
and
there's
been
there's
lots
of
cities
among
the
southeast
Nashville,
some
in
Louisiana
New
Orleans
that
have
basically
done
away
with
non-owner
occupied
short-term
rentals
and
for
me,
I
asked
mr.
Oglesby
directly
to
please
vote
against
this.
M
The
number
one
reason
why
non-owner
occupied
short-term
rentals
are
projected
is
because
the
locals
choose
and
voice
their
concerns,
and
they
choose
to
not
have
ever.
They
voiced
their
concern
about
not
wanting
that
in
their
neighborhood,
so
I
am
and
along
with.
Basically
all
the
neighbors
that
I
had
that
I
know
of
are
voicing
our
opinions
and
are
loudly
and
clearly
we're
asking
you
guys
to
vote
against
it
in
this
case.
Thanks.
Thank.
F
S
Concern
was
very
similar.
What
Grady
was
it's
about
the
sense
of
community
that
we
have
here
in
this
little
area
of
st.
Elmo
and
mr.
Oglesby
was
kind
enough
to
come
out
and
have
a
meeting
with
us
and
with
that
meeting
that
every
neighbor
around
that
house
I
mean
every
single
house
came
out
and
had
a
conversation
with
always
be
in
opposition
of
it.
In
this,
when
you
look
around
and
you
see
the
other
rentals
I
mean
some
were
owner-occupied
already,
that's
fine.
S
But
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
it
around,
it
seemed
to
be
getting
oversaturated
with
too
much,
and
so
the
the
part
with
we
would
love
to
have
long-term
neighbors
their
long-term
renters.
But
the
issue
is,
we
would
like
to
move
into
a
community,
it's
another
people
and
not
try
to
rent
out
all
the
same
elbow,
and
that's
all
that
I
had
okay.
F
C
O
I
just
wanted
to
second
Grady
said,
and
the
Dunn
said
that
we
definitely
have
a
very
tight
sense
of
community
here
we
enjoy.
They,
we
enjoy
the
community,
we
enjoy
each
other.
We
look
out
for
each
other,
we
care
about
each
other
and
we
really
truly
want
a
neighbor
that
fits
into
our
neighborhood
with
us.
That
cares
about
our
neighborhood.
That
cares
about
our
neighbors.
O
We
do
not
want
transient
weekly,
changing
people,
we
want
someone
that
we
can
know,
and
then
we
can
care
for
and
look
out
for,
just
as
we,
you
know
hope
that
they
would
know
and
care
for
us
as
well.
I
think
we
have
one
more
that
wants
to
speak.
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
and
say:
please
vote
no
on
this.
Okay.
F
T
Would
also
like
to
reiterate
what
my
neighbor's
and
truly
family
have
stated.
Unfortunately,
miss
green
states
that
she
wants
to
cause
no
issues
within
the
community.
Well,
unfortunately,
parking
would
be
an
issue.
Unfortunately,
our
close
family
niche
that
we
have
up
at
the
top
of
39th
Street
is
what
we're
all
about
and
I
truly
hope.
You
guys
hear
us
and
understand
and
vote
no
against
us.
Thank
you.
Okay,.

So
there's
13
conditions.
The
first
one
says

of
the
development,
as
well
as
along
a
portion
of
the
eastern
boundary
as
Joan
depicted
on
the
approved

Those
areas
where
a
stream
buffer
exists
will
negate
the
requirement
of

as
well
as

The

Is
this
is
walking
through
the
putt

working
with
the
community?
Lord

district

can
use
all
the
improvement.
We
can
get
right
now.
So
I
appreciate
the
developer
working
with
the
community
and
myself
to
bring
about
a
better
product
than
I
think
we
started
with
and
I'd
like
to
move

with
conditions.

but
Mr
Price
was
very
involved
in
the
conversation
and
helped
draft
some
of
the
conditions
to
make
this
a
better
product
and
I
hope
that,
hopefully,
that
answers
your
question
in
regards
to
his
approval

on
this

H
Sir,
you
can
take
an
action
to
tape
all
this
this
hearing
for
one
month.
We
need
to
have
a
specific
date
if
you're
going
to
do
that,
the
ordinance
generally
requires
for
the
hearing
to
take
place
not
later
than
120
days.
But
at
this
point
in
time
you
would
not
be
denying
this
request.
You
would
just
simply
be
tangling
this
request
and
there
would
be
no
problem
with
the
applicant
having
to
wait
for
12
months
so.
I
F
F
F
U
U
This
evening
for
councils
consideration
and
approval,
we
have
three
purchase
items
and
also
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
the
emergency
purchase
items
that
were
listed
for
your
informational
purpose.
The
first
item
tonight
is
from
the
facilities
management
Division
of
Public
Works
is
for
the
services
of
lock
and
key,
and
it's
being
awarded
to
a
slaw,
kinky
and
Rick's,
locking
key
LLC
for
a
total
estimated
annual
cost
of
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
U
Our
next
item
is
from
the
fleet
management,
Division
of
Public
Works
for
maintenance
and
repair
for
light
duty
for
vehicles,
it's
being
awarded
to
Mountain
View,
Ford,
Lincoln
and
Marshall
my's
forward
for
a
total
estimated
annual
cost
of
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
the
last
new
purchase
item
from
facilities,
management,
Division
of
Public
Works
for
emergency
services,
disaster
recovery,
including
restoration
and
finishing,
being
imported
to
Bell.
For
us,
a
group
incorporated
for
total
estimated
annual
cost
of
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
F
Q
G
M
F
F
U
We
do
we
have
three
emergency
purchases
to
our
kovat
19
related
items.
One
was,
and
the
emergency
purchase
item
unfortunately
was
not
listed
on
the
March
31st
listing
of
emergency
purchases
prior
to
council
reconvening
that
one
item
was
from
Public
Works.
It
was
for
the
purchase
of
30,000,
recycle
containers.
This
is
in
collaboration
with
T
Dix
project
for
recycling.
U
The
purchase
should
have
been
listed
with
those
emergency
purchases
at
that
time,
but
for
some
reason
it
was
not.
This
item
was
placed
for
emergency
purchase
because
of
a
deadline
that
was
due
to
have
this
taken
care
of
and
submitted
by
April
4th,
and
we
were
able
to
by
the
executive
by
the
emergency
purchase
to
have
that
taken
care
of,
and
this
process
again
fell
out
of
order
and
was
not
listed
among
those
other
emergency
purchases.
At
that
time.
F
F
U
F
F
C
G
K
K
My
my
condolences
on
behalf
of
the
administration
to
everyone
in
district
4
and
district
6
I
think
also
district
five,
who
are
suffering
the
the
the
work
that
you
have
seen
from
our
Public
Works
staff
and
our
Police
Department
Chattanooga
Fire
Department
over
the
last
couple
of
days,
has
been
absolutely
nothing
short
of
heroic.
It
is
astonishing
how
hard
these
individuals
are
working.
K
The
collaboration
between
them
is
just
a
case
study
in
everything,
good
and
valuable
that
local
government
can
do
in
times
of
crisis,
and
they
deserve
just
our
endless
appreciation
and
thanks
I
believe
the
Chiefs
are
in
this
meeting
somewhere.
If
you
have
specific
questions
to
them,
I
know
you
got
a
nice
update
from
from
mr.
Holland
at
the
3:30
meeting,
but
if
you
have
other
questions
for
our
public
safety
staff,
I
know
they're
happy
to
adjust
them.
The
recovery
effort
is
well
I
know.
A
tremendous
amount
of
progress
was
made
yesterday
more
took
place
today.
K
The
with
us
for
a
significant
part
of
the
afternoon
got
a
first
hand,
look
at
the
damage
with
versus
administration
that
that
assessment
will
factor
into
win
and
how
FEMA
is
able
to
make
a
disaster
declaration
that
we
believe
some
additional
resources
to
aid
or
that
recovery
efforts.
But
for
now
we're
just
continuing
to
do
everything
we
can
to
to
to
let's
CPD
and
CFD
and
Public
Works
do
do
what
they
need
to
do
in
terms
of
addressing
the
crisis
that
is
still
out
there.
K
We
have
gotten
a
tremendous
amount
of
inquiry
from
from
wonderful
people
and
organizations
that
want
to
donate
money
and
time
and
supplies.
We
need
a
little
bit
of
that.
We
can
direct
that
in
the
most
effective
way.
Folks
who
are
interested
in
volunteering
and
I
know
there
are
quite
a
number
in
everyone's
district
I'll
make
sure
this
link
ends
up
in
in
the
chat
somewhere
or
it's
it's
on
all
of
our
Facebook
pages.
But
it's
CH,
a
CIT
y
slash
volunteer.
K
That's
a
very
simple
form
that
people
can
just
drop
their
information
in
to
please
it's
a
CH,
a
dot,
CIT
y
slash
volunteer
and
have
to
make
sure
you
get
you
get
that
in
your
inboxes
as
well.
But
that's
that's
our
that's
the
best
way
that
we
have
right
now:
I'm,
just
capturing
everyone's
contact
information,
and
once
we
have
a
location
set
up
at
a
process
for
deploying
people
in
a
way
we
will,
we
will
immediately
start
putting
people
to
work
as
far
as
financial
contribution
is.
K
The
best
thing
that
people
can
still
do
is
to
donate
to
the
local
chapter
of
the
Red
Cross
they're.
There
working
super
over
times,
try
to
make
sure
people
that
need
housing
in
particular
being
taken
care
of
and
seeing
to
some
other
very
immediate
needs
from
from
families
there
that
lost
everything
Sunday
night.
K
So
we're
we're
gonna
make
that
a
little
tomorrow
morning
again
with
the
police
fire
department's
help
so
so
eager
for
you
all
to
come
out
there
and
see
exactly
what's
what's
been
going
on
and
the
extent
of
the
damage
and
how
long
this
recovery
effort
will
take.
So
in
the
meantime,
the
most
important
thing
I
think
anybody
can
do
for
the
for
the
time
being,
is
just
encourage
folks
to
keep
their
distance.
Any
amount
of
traffic
in
the
affected
area
is
hazardous
and
dangerous
and
keeps
our
first
responders
from
doing
what
they
need
to
do.
K
G
C
C
G
G
G
It
was
people's
lives
literally
thrown
everywhere.
I
mean
you.
Couldn't
tell
one
house
particle
from
another
house:
particle
cars
completely
destroyed
homes,
looked
at
structures,
I
have
a
thousand
pictures.
My
camera
just
couldn't
hold
any
more
of
what
the
devastation
that
ripped
through
literally
the
fabric
of
our
community
and
just
shredded,
but
what
I
also
saw
was
very
inspiring.
G
Today,
I
was
out
yesterday
with
Commissioner
my
Enda,
and
it
was
just
incredible
the
overwhelming
spirit
in
people
that
they
were
a
alive,
because
once
you
see
it
tomorrow,
I
promise
you
you
will
be
changed
forever
and
you
will
start
asking
the
same
questions
that
I
asked
myself.
How
did
you
survive
and
I
think
that
we
owe
a
lot
to
communication
I
think
we
owe
a
lot
to
our
meteorologists,
our
cell
phones,
our
communication
system
in
general,
because
a
story
that
I
received
I'd
heard
over
and
over
was
well.
G
We
were
monitoring
this
on
our
smartphones.
We
were
watching
the
local
news
and
when
they
told
us
to
get
to
cover,
we
literally
got
to
cover
and
the
next
thing
we
know
the
risk
being
lifted
off
of
our
house.
Iii
I
dare
say
that
that
was
an
incredible
rule
that
we
should
all
utilize
and
take
very
seriously.
G
You
know
I
forgive
the
ramble,
but
this
really
has
been
another
life-changing
experience
for
me
to
see
this
devastation.
Firsthand
I
saw
it
once
with
hurricane
Hurricane,
Katrina
and
I
thought.
Gosh
I
never
want
to
see
this
again
and
as
I'm
walking
the
streets
of
my
district
people
that
I
know
and
talk
to
and
I'm
like
hey,
we're
so
glad
to
see
you
and
I'm
trying
to
to
to
relate
to
what
it
must
be.
G
Like
my,
my
tornado
came
close
to
our
house,
but
it
did
not
damage
our
home
and
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
that.
But
I'm
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
out
there
doing
everything
that
we
can
for
those
folks
who
can't
get
out
of
their
homes.
That
folks,
that
are
there
a
lot
of
misconceptions
and
we
had
a
long
meeting
today
we
started
at
the
EOC
and
ended
up
at
the
YMCA
trying
to
plan
for
the
next
phase
and
I
know
that
the
Chiefs
are
on
and
we'll.
G
G
One
of
the
main
pleased
that
I
have
to
the
public
and
Kerry
touched
on
it
is
please
please
do
not
come
out
here.
Do
not
come
out
here
and
and
look
there's
a
there,
sometimes
just
a
pathway
of
trees.
You
have
to
meander
through
there.
Crews
are
working
so
hard
and
there's
so
many
people
that
are
coming
out
because
they're
curious
and
I'm
just
asking
and
pleading
with
the
public.
If
you
do
not,
you
are
not
essential.
Please
do
not
come
out
and
you're
actually
hurting
the
people
who
need
the
services.
G
There's
a
lot
to
be
done,
I
mean.
If
you
drive
along
I,
go
gap.
You
drive
along
Jenkins
Road,
there's,
not
a
utility
pole
even
standing.
There
is
nothing
I
mean
you
look
across
entire
neighborhoods
and
it's
second
stories
of
houses
are
gone
and
and
to
come
and
look
at.
That
is
a
great
disservice
to
the
people
who
live
there.
That
really
do
need
the
help,
and
our
first
responders
are
absolutely
phenomenal.
G
I
was
able
to
be
with
them
at
the
command
site
last
night
when
they
had
to
change
over
for
second
shift
and
the
enthusiasm
from
our
police
officers
and
protecting,
and
the
message
from
chief
rowdy
was
really
on
point.
These
folks
have
been
through
hell
and
they
have
and
to
know
that
the
city
has
responded
to
know
that
our
governor
and
has
responded
and
is,
is,
is
going
to
do.
Everything
in
his
power
is
extremely
powerful
to
citizens.
G
G
An
amazing
spirit
in
people
I
witnessed
it
over
and
over
again
we
had
people
who
simply
said
I'm
alive
I'm
grateful
I'll,
clean
up
we'll
get
through
this,
and
that
spirit
to
overcome
is
what
will
pull
East
Brainerd
out
of
this
in
no
time,
I
feel
it
in
my
bones.
Just
like
we
work
through
all
of
our
adversity.
We
will
work
on
this
together
and
we
will
prevail.
We
will
pull
out
of
this
one
step
at
a
time.
G
He's
Brainerd
and
I
want
to
thank
that
our
first
responders
again,
if
you
haven't
seen
the
boots
on
the
ground
efforts
that
are
done
when
you
think
about
our
fire
fighters
and
our
police,
it
is
more
than
the
job
description
that
a
lot
of
people
think
about.
It
is
a
level
that
absolutely
is
not
only
essential,
but
it
comes
from
the
heart
and
these
folks
care
and
they
care
deeply
and
I'm
very
honored
to
to
know
our
firefighters
to
be
with
them
even
at
a
social
distance.
G
I
want
to
give
up
and
run
up
to
them
and
run
up
to
them
and
give
them
the
biggest
hug
fossil,
because
these
are
folks
who
are
out
there
and
they
care,
and
they
look
you
in
the
eye
and
they
say
to
you.
We
got
this
and
we're
going
to
put
it
together
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody.
Everybody
has
poured
in
with
with
thoughts
and
they're
there
they're
there
there,
there
love
and
I
think
that's
so
important,
and
you
know
you.
G
You
know
me
by
now
I
when
I
get
very
moved
about
something
I
tend
to
kind
of
ramble,
and
that's
where
I'm
at
because
I'm
speaking
so
deeply
from
my
heart
about
the
gratitude
I
have
for
the
the
response
of
not
only
Chattanooga
but
from
our
first
responders
and
from
people
around
the
country
that
just
want
to
help.
We
will
get
through
this
and
we'll
do
it
one
step
at
a
time.
Thank
you,
chairman.
J
It's
the
gratitude,
councilman
Ledford,
the
words
that
Carol
so
eloquently
spoke
earlier
and
and
all
the
kind
of
gratitude
that
all
of
you
always
put
out
there
does
not
go
unnoticed
and
will
the
firefighters
and
police
officers
will
certainly
hear
your
sentiments,
and
we
just
appreciate
everybody
support
during
this
difficult
time.
I
did
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
kind
of
where
we're
at
as
we're
as
we
transition
that
rescue
face,
like
councilman
letter
was
saying
the
different
phases
that
we're
working
in
coming
out
of
that
rescue
phase
with.
J
We
are
transitioned
into
the
damage
assessment
phase,
which
is
the
second
phase
of
our
event
here,
and
in
that
damage,
assessment,
phase,
we're
having
to
identify
every
single
property
and
determine
how
much
damage
parcel
has
had
B
at
25%,
50%
75%
will
total
loss
and
in
that
damage
assessment,
though
those
are
numbers
that
are
requested
by
tima.
So
we
can
get
cost
recovery.
I'm
done
we're
about
60
percent,
complete
with
that
as
of
about
5:30,
but
I
do
still
have
crews
coming
in
by
8
o'clock.
J
12,000
properties
in
the
East
Brainerd
area
has
been
affected
by
this,
so
a
phenomenal
amount
of
damage
to
homes
have
been
have
been
done,
and
it's
just
it's
incredible
when
we
finally
get
those
numbers
in
there
as
we
transition
out
of
the
damage
assessment,
phase
we'll
be
moving
into
the
recovery
phase,
and
this
is
an
extremely
important
phase.
This
is
what's
helping
get
our
affected
community
members
out
there
stuff
that
they
need
we've
put
together,
dart
teams
to
set
up
full
pets
and
pet
displacement.
J
We
were
in
assess
of
putting
mental
health
teams
in
place
not
only
for
first
responders
but
for
our
community
as
well.
Those
will
be
stood
up
tomorrow
and
our
bid
for
the
next
five
to
seven
days,
just
to
just
ask
questions
about
mental
health
and
try
to
cover
that
up.
We've
made
special
requests
to
team
up
for
food
trucks
tomorrow
for
the
community,
a
lot
of
number
of
food
trucks
will
be
out
there
trying
to
serve
people
food
and
that,
additionally,
we
have
had
about
a
thousand
of
thousands.
J
So
in
that
recovery
phase,
the
firefighters
have
gone
from
rescue
mode
to
damage
assessment
mode
and
now
transitioning
into
the
beverage
commode,
and
that's
when
they'll
be
out
there
in
ATVs,
chainsaws
work,
blows
bottles
of
water
trying
to
get
all
that
information
trying
to
get
all
that
support
out
there
from
community
as
best
we
can
we're.
A
lot
of
the
work
is
still
going
to
continue.
A
lot
of
work
has
been
done
at
this
point
by
the
first
responders,
but
even
more
will
be
done
in
the
coming
days.
V
You,
sir,
again
echoing
the
same
sentiment
as
Chief
Hyman
on
just
what
the
council
is
expressed
to
us.
Every
single
one
words
are
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
that.
Your
police
often
start
with
the
descending
recovery
efforts
and
rescue
efforts
as
our
firefighter
partners
in
this,
and
as
we
move
through
that,
our
posture
has
been
one
to
maintain
a
position
of
direction
and
security,
not
only
in
the
perimeter
for
traffic
control,
but
with
inside
the
area
as
well.
V
Area,
obviously,
with
the
power
still
being
out,
there
was
a
concern
over
individuals
that
might
come
in
and
take
advantage
of
just
the
darkness
and
the
lack
of
presence.
I
spoke
to
a
family
member
today
whose
son-in-law
slept
in
his
house
last
night.
That
was
a
house
with
no
windows,
no
power,
no
one
in
there
with
him,
because
he
was
worried
about
the
security
of
his
family's
home.
He
told
his
father-in-law
this.
C
V
V
So
we
are
going
to
keep
that
same
posture
up
for
the
next
few
days,
at
least,
and
then
assess
what
the
restoration
of
power
looks
like
with
the
number
of
people
returning
to
their
homes,
looks
like
what's
the
present
in
that
area
and
then
we'll
make
assessments
to
figure
out
how
we
might
adjust
that
presence,
that's
like
between
8:00
p.m.
and
8:00
a.m.,
but
we
will
still
maintain
the
traffic
direction
and
control
and
the
outside
security
we
have
done
since
the
beginning.
G
G
Thank
You,
chairman
chief
Hyman
or
chief
rowdy,
either
one
can
answer
this.
Can
we
talk
a
little
bit
I
know:
we've
been
stressing
the
the
importance
of
people
staying
away
from
this
area
so
that
we
can
and
in
the
city
and
everyone
can
get
in
and
do
the
things
that
they
need
to
do.
But
can
you
talk
about
and
in
any
improvement
today
in
accessibility
to
the
site,
I.
J
Do
know
that
public
works
and
they
did
a
report
earlier
I
know
they've
done
an
outstanding
job.
Clearing
debris
and
I
know
that
they
have
a
lot
of
that
are
calling
in
additional
resources
to
help
from
what
I've
heard
from
the
first
responders
to
the
access
has
gotten
better
since
this
morning.
Even
so,
I
know
public
works
that
we're
really
doing
a
yeoman's
job
trying
to
get
a
lot
of
stuff
cleared.
There
are
still
kids
that
need
to
be
impacted.
Some
of
the
problems
we've
run
into
is
some
of
the
high
tension.
Lines
are
difficult.
J
We
can't
just
go
up,
though,
cut
them
and
move
them.
It's
a
process
to
get
through
that,
a
lot
of
time
to
repeat
to
get
those
lines
taken,
care
of
and
until
those
are
care
of
it's
hard
to
make
access
to
some
of
those
areas.
But
during
that,
as
those
access
points
open
up,
the
next
plan
is
to
send
EPB
in
to
start
repairing
holes
and
trying
to
leave
or
power
over
them
coming
days.
Very.
G
J
Best
thing
that
they
can
do
is
stay
out
of
the
area,
so
we
can
do
our
jobs
stay
out
of
the
area
as
best
you
can
and
really
focus
on,
come
and
volunteer
sided
at
the
Y.
That's
where
their
focus
can
be
really
helpful,
focus
all
on
donations
to
their,
and
that
will
help
us
coordinate
if
we
could
coordinate
it
all
through
the
one.
Center
folks
are
dropping
stuff
off
there.
It
really
reduces
the
amount
of
impact
that
we
have
on
the
community
we're
trying
to
serve
if.
V
I
may
add
to
that
councilman.
If
the
advice
I
would
like
to
give
some
other
people
is.
We
understand
that
there
are
loved
ones
in
the
affected
area,
that
sons
and
daughters,
mothers
and
fathers,
brothers
and
sisters
and
Friends
are
all
coming
in
to
try
and
help.
We
saw
that
effort.
Today
we
saw
parents
that
had
driven
from
other
states
to
check
on
their
loved
ones
and
to
help
clean
up
their.
G
V
V
When
you
have
a
driver's
license
from
Georgia
presented
by
a
couple
saying,
my
daughter
lives
up
there
and
we
have
come
from
Georgia
to
help
and
they
have
chainsaws
in
the
bed
of
the
truck
we're
going
to
let
them
through,
because
they're
coming
to
help
their
family,
we're
not
in
by
any
stretch
ever
going
to
turn
that
away.
Unfortunately,
you
have
people
still
coming
in
that
just
simply
want
to
see
what's
going
on
and
they
drive
through.
V
The
last
point
that
I
will
would
like
to
express
is
even
if
you're
not
coming
into
the
affected
area.
The
affected
area
is
causing
traffic
concerns
in
concentric
circles.
Moving
out,
so
you
need
to
go
to
a
hardware
store
to
get
some
predictable
right
now,
go
to
one
and
Hickson
go
over
one
and
somewhere
else.
If.
V
It'd
be
a
circuit
only
as
well.
Yes,
sir,
go
somewhere
other
than
around,
where
there
is
already
too
much
going
on.
We
under
their
causes,
lack
of
patience
and
frustration
by
individuals
that
are
useful,
a
30
minute
travel
time
and
it's
taking
them.
Two
hours
go
drive
somewhere
else
for
right
now
give
us
the
ability
to
take
a
breath,
get
what
we
need
in
here
and
get
our
jobs
done
and
I
promise
you.
You
get
returned
to
normal,
much
much
quicker
if
people
will
simply
stay
away
for
a
little
while
longer.
G
Excellent
Thank,
You
chief,
that's
all
I,
have
for
right
now.
Just
again,
thank
you
to
everybody
who
has
responded
with
emails
and
phone
calls,
there's
a
lot
of
homes,
we're
still
without
power,
but
there's
still
a
lot
a
lot
of
people
who
are
in
their
homes
without
power
and
I
think
they're
doing
it.
But
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
clear
those
paths
we
have
accessibility
in
talking
about
getting
essentials
like
water
and
meals
to
them
it's.
It
is
truly
essential
that
folks,
who
do
not
need
to
be
there
to
please
stay
away.
F
C
You
I
mean
I'm
just
going
to
take
a
moment
and
neck
of
the
sentiments
of
council
members
at
the
beginning
and
then
councilman
Ledford
trying
to
stay
in
touch
and
hearing
everything
that's
going
on
is
incredible
and
there's
no
amount
of
thanks
or
appreciation
that
can
be
expressed
for
our
first
responders:
Chief
Tom
and
chief
rowdy,
all
the
police
department,
Fire
Department,
all
the
work
that
they're
doing
but
I
also
wanted
to
give
a
big
thanks
to
some
of
our
other
partners.
Water
Company
gas
company,
EPB,
Evan,
Freeman
I've,
talked
to
him.
C
The
director
of
government
relations
over
there
and
they
have
been
amazingly,
responsive
and
I
know.
There's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
frustrated
they've,
been
without
power,
not
just
in
that
area,
but
also
well
outside
of
the
areas
a
tornado,
but
they
don't
know
fully
comprehend
the
amount
of
devastation
that
we're
talking
about
and
the
way
that
some,
our
partners
have
responded,
not
just
our
first
responders.
But
then
those
other
organizations
has
truly
been
remarkable
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
echo
all
those
sentiments
to
everybody.
C
F
G
B
B
They
were
saying,
as
we
went
around
asking
you
need
anything,
do
you
need
help?
They
know
we're
good,
we'll
help
each
other.
We
took
food
around
and
they
said.
Thank
you
so
much,
but
everyone
was
very.
Very
gracious.
All
of
their
concerns
were
toward
district
4.
Part
of
district
6
goes
across
the
freeway
and
what
would
think
was
one
would
think,
is
district
4
and
all
across
people
with
with
trees,
smashing
parts
of
their
houses.
Thank
God.
B
B
Silverdale
church
has
reached
out
it's
it's
part
of
our
district
and
you
guys
have
always
been
outstanding.
You've
been
leaders
in
the
community
as
far
as
social
action
is
concerned
as
well.
Thank
you
for
letting
us
use
you
as
a
command
post.
Thank
you
for
reaching
out
you're,
truly
a
community
church.
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
mr.
chair,
these
people
aren't
real
dramatic,
their
neighbors,
their
friends
and
their
quietly
and
graciously
and
with
dignity
helping
solve
their
problems.
So,
thanks
to
every
one
of
you,
Thank
You
mr.
chair.
I
You,
chair,
real,
quick,
just
one
a
command
and
thank
everyone.
All
my
fellow
colleagues
on
this
council
so
many
times
you
I've
only
first
started
a
tax
I
feel
like
we're
not
doing
enough.
I
feel
like
we
as
a
council
can
just
do
so
much
more
and
from
time
to
time,
I'm
brung
to
the
realization
that
this
body,
certain
powers
that
there
are
not
bestowed
upon
us
certain
powers
we
do
not
have.
We
want
to
do
things
we
want
to
help
and
I
know.
I
I
Let's
do
this
or
see
if
you
can
make
this
happen
and
I
just
commend
you
all,
because
before
I
was
a
councilman
I
knew
you
guys
had
some
great
hearts
and
just
to
work
with
you
to
see
the
hearts
and
the
compassion
that
you
have
for
people
I
see
why
you
were
elected
into
office
and
I,
see
now
that
the
power,
no
matter
what
we
say
or
what
we
do
in
these
government
official
jobs.
The
power
lays
lies
in
the
hands
of
the
people,
so
reach
out
to
your
neighbors
reach
out
to
your
fellow
friends.
I
F
Anyone
else
customer
Linford
I
certainly
want
you
to
know
that
you
have
the
support
of
this
council.
The
East
Brainerd
area
has
the
support
of
this
council
and
I
was
able
to
witness
the
early
response
of
our
first
responders
and
by
our
Public
Works
team,
and
let
me
just
say
that
when
it
comes
to
budget
time,
training
is
priceless.
F
What
I
saw
out
there
on
the
ground
by
Chattanooga,
Police
Department
by
arch
Avenue
go
fire
department
was
was
incredible:
the
command
center
ran
very
effectively
and
efficiently.
That
doesn't
happen
by
accident
and
the
training
was
evident
and
I
think
when
it
comes
to
budget
time.
We
did.
We
need
to
remember
that,
and
also
to
our
public
works
team.
They
were
doing
an
incredible
job.
Themself
clearing
the
debris
from
the
roads
just
in
Holland
and
his
team
is
to
be
commended.
Absolutely.
F
D
F
It'll
be
coming,
I
would
like
to
announce
that
I
will
be
making
committee
chair
announcements
at
our
next
week's
meeting,
I'll
be
contacting
each
other
to
make
sure
your
pleasantly
okay,
with
with
with
the
appointments
at
this
time,
we
would
like
to
go
to
persons
I
wishing
to
address
the
council
councilman
Smith.
Do
we
have
any
of
the
attendees
that
have
registered
that
have
their
hand
up
to
address
the
council
at
this
time?
We're.
I
F
W
You
good
evening,
council,
marie
mont
from
Oak
Grove
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
our
first
responders,
as
well
as
our
city,
employees,
who
are
on
the
front
lines.
They
are
the
life
force
of
making
everything
possible
in
our
city
and
I
would
like
to
second
that
of
councilman
Henderson
I
believe
that
thank
yous
cannot
just
be
sound
bites.
My
grandmother's
had
a
simple
philosophy:
you
give
people
their
flowers
while
they're
still
alive,
so
they
can
smell
them
and
enjoy
them.
W
I
think
it's
time
for
this
city
to
raise
our
city
workers
up
to
a
livable
wage,
and
that
is
how
you
tangibly
thank
them
for
always
being
on
the
front
lines,
not
only
when
we
don't
need
them,
but
when
we
do,
I
also
would
like
to
ask
of
this
council,
as
we
move
forward
with
the
community,
who
is
ready
and
willing.
I
be
one
of
those
individuals
who
can't
wait
to
help
out
with
the
efforts
and
other
districts,
because
I
have
people
that
I
love
that
are
residents
in
this
affect
the
area.
W
I
really
believe
that
the
city
needs
to
ensure
that
it
that
there
are
PPE
equipment
in
the
form
of
masks
and
gloves
that
will
be
made
available
to
individuals
who
want
to
volunteer
in
conjunction
with
the
city
government.
We
are
dealing
with
two
very
delicate
issues
at
once.
That
is
how
do
we
respond
to
the
people
who
have
needs
in
our
communities
and
at
the
same
time
ensure
that
we
are
slowing
the
spread
of
the
coronavirus?
W
I
think
it
would
be
a
grave
mistake
if
we
don't
take
that
into
the
account
and
serve
the
people
right
now
as
we
are
supposed
to,
but
we
get
to
the
other
side
of
this
sort
of
leveling
out
what
the
community
needs
and
then
we
have
exposed
a
tremendous
amount
of
our
first
responders
and
vital
city
employees
to
the
coronavirus.
So
I
really
want
to
elevate
that,
because
I
don't
want
that
to
get
drowned
out
in
the
tornado
response
that
we
are
still
in
the
middle
of
a
viral
outbreak
and
pandemic.
W
So
I
also
recommend
that
our
city
employees
should
be
tested
for
coronavirus
after
we
finish
the
next
stages
of
rebuilding
our
communities.
To
make
sure
that
they
are
safe
and
that's
just
my
recommendations,
I
am
praying
for
each
and
every
one
of
you
as
leaders.
I
just
want
to
close
out
with
my
time
in
quoting
dr.
Martin
Luther
King,
who
is
lifting
me
up
in
this
hour
and
I
hope.
He
lists
you
up
even
from
the
grave
but
I
know
somehow
that
only
when
it
is
dark
enough.
Can
you
see
the
Stars
be
encouraged?
