chair.
That
concludes
our
committee
reports.
We
are
now
we'll
move
into
persons
wishing
to
address
Council
this
evening.
Is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
address
Council
this
evening?
If
you
would
make
your
way
to
the
podium
and
Mr
noblet
will
read
our
public
speaking
rules.
G
Okay,
at
the
end
of
every
council
meeting,
the
chair
will
recognize
members
of
the
public
that
wish
to
talk
to
them.
The
here's,
your
rules,
each
speaker
wishing
to
address
the
council
can
only
be
recognized
up
front
at
the
microphone.
That's
provided
for
that
purpose.
You
can't
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak
and
you
can
address
the
council
only
upon
matters
within
their
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
authority
and
not
upon
matters
that
are
not
under
their
Authority
or
regulated
by
other
governmental
bodies
or
agencies.
G
G
You
can
only
do
it
one
time
a
day,
but
you're
good
right
now
do
not
engage
in
disorderly
conduct
or
disrupting
a
public
meeting
which
is
prohibited
by
Tennessee
law,
and
someone
commits
that
offense
of
the
person
substantially
obstructs
or
interferes
with
the
meeting
by
physical
action
or
verbal
utterance,
with
the
intent
to
prevent
or
disrupt
to
lawful
meeting
or
gathering
having
given
you
those
rules.
Please
go
ahead,
sir,
and
talk
to
the
council,
hello,.
H
H
Let's
see
here,
basically,
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
love
is
the
universal
language
right.
So
you
know.
Obviously
you
have
a
big
company
here
in
Chattanooga
Volkswagen
and
you
know
I
feel
that
no
matter
where
you're
at
in
the
world
loves
the
universal
language
and
we're
all
just
trying
to
say
the
same
thing
we're
trying
to
get
through
this
life
doing
the
best
we
can.
H
You
know
for
ourselves
and
for
others-
and
you
know
early
on
I
guess
before
mayor
Kelly
started
his
campaign
I
signed
up
to
to
you
know,
support
that
because
he
was
an
independent
candidate
and
I
believe
in
unity
and
people
being
together.
I
don't
live
in
Chattanooga,
yet
I'm
probably
going
to
move
back
right,
and
but
that's
where
my
heart
is
so.
H
This
is
where
I
love
to
be
and
I
think
about
my
friends
out
there
who
are
homeless
and
that's
why
I'm
here
usually,
this
is
my
19th
time
coming
here
and
according
to
my
math
I've
traveled
1824
miles
just
to
speak
here
for
three
minutes,
basically
to
represent
the
voice
of
the
people
that
are
out
in
the
streets.
So
that's
my
main
goal
here
is
to
to
help
folks
out
there.
H
H
Maybe
have
felt
attacked
or
whatever,
but
basically
I'm,
trying
to
help
folks
out
there,
and
so
this
year
we're
shifting
gears
and
getting
hats,
gloves
mittens
that
sort
of
thing
and
trying
to
really
work
with
the
staff
I
come
here.
You
know
knowing
that
City
Hall
and
this
platform
isn't
necessarily
the
best
place
to
speak,
but
sometimes
that's
the
only
opportunity
I
get
to
actually
speak
and
have
my
voice
heard
and
I
send
emails.
H
This
is
you
know,
a
form
of
continuity
and
public
awareness
and
this
sort
of
thing
and
I'm,
not
the
only
one
that
comes
up
here.
I
come
here
quite
a
bit,
but
you
know
it's
not
for
my
own
personal
gain
or
anything,
and
basically
you
know
I
feel
like
I
need
to
do
things.
You
know
for
God
and
my
certain
beliefs
and
being
an
American,
and
you
know
that's
basically,
why
I'm
here
so
what
I
want
to
do
is
try
to
work
with
anybody
and
I.
Think
that's
how
democracy
works.
You
know
this.
H
The
citizens
hold
the
government
accountable
and
the
government's
accountable
to
the
citizens
and
we're
all
accountable
to
God.
If
you
believe
that,
or
at
least
one
another-
and
so
that's
my
main
goal
here-
and
you
know,
I
hope
that
we
can
work
together
and
find
some,
you
know
energy
to
really
work
together
as
As
Americans
in
chattanoogan,
so
I
believe
in
what
mayor
Kelly's
doing
and
his
staff
and
I'm
proud
of
all
of
you.
Thank
you.
I
I
There
were
Acres
of
parking
and
no
one
wanted
to
be
where
I
was
and
but
since
then,
South
side's
grown.
It's
wonderful.
We
love
it.
I
love
my
business
down
there,
but
we
have
an
issue
where
about
some
time
and
I,
don't
know
the
exact
date
but
April
or
May
of
last
year.
First
I
should
say
that
the
corner
of
14th
and
Williams,
if
you're
familiar
with
it,
it's
a
block
off
markets
or
right
off
the
choo,
choo
and
then
Williams
runs
between
14th
and
Main
Street.
I
Then
also
it's
a
block
between
coward.
Those
areas
are
the
last
areas
in
Chattanooga
that
are
not
metered,
and
so
it's
free
parking.
It's
two-hour
parking
for
free
at
some
point.
The
Chattanooga
parking
authority
back
in
April
or
May
of
last
year
decided
to
quit
monitoring
that
area
we've
reached
out.
We've
called
we've
spoken:
we've
talked
to
the
ticket
takers,
we've
spoken,
the
Chattanooga
Parking
Authority,
but
we
now
have
a
problem
where
we
have
people
who
are
parking
there
all
day,
sometimes
four
days.
I
Okay,
thank
you.
Well,
we
have
employees
for
other
businesses
who
are
using
that
we
even
have
a
hotel.
That's
on
our
block
that
uses
that
for
overflow
valet
parking
and
it's
killing
us
and
we
have
nowhere
we're
looking
for
somebody
to
help
us
get
it
all
we
want
is
the
parking
enforced,
we're
not
asking
for
any
special
outlet,
but
there
are
two
hours
parking
signs
all
up
and
down
both
of
those
streets
and
it's
just
simply
not
enforced,
and
that's
what
we're
looking
for.
I
I
A
I
J
I,
have
sincere
questions
about
his
firing
partially
because
he
was
accused
of
being
asleep
on
the
job
and
when
he
was
brought
in
to
discuss
the
accusations
against
him,
he
did
let
those
in
the
room
know
that
he
has
a
disability
that
impacts
sometimes
his
ability
to
be
awake.
He
was
fired
shortly
after
that
which
to
me
leans
towards
discrimination,
and
partly
he
did
not
want
to
discuss
the
details
of
his
disability
to
everyone
in
the
room
and
he
has
a
right
to
Medical
privacy.
J
Furthermore,
the
information
that
was
conveniently
leaked
to
the
press,
the
Fraternal
ordered
police,
made
a
very
ignorant
statement
that
was
completely
untrue.
That
Mr
clack
is
seen
on
social
media,
giving
a
middle
finger
that
with
to
a
picture
that
says
F12
I
have
that
picture
right
here.
This
is
not
Mr
clack.
This
is
actually
from
the
protest
in
2020
of
a
picture
that
he
took
as
media
coverage
for
the
George
protest.
George
Floyd
protest
in
Nashville.
This
was
actually
published
by
The
Tennessean.
This
is
not
Mr
clack,
who
the
fop
says
is
in
the
picture.
J
So
imagine
the
public
perception.
They
didn't
provide
the
picture
to
the
public,
but
they
did
state
that
he
was
in
the
picture.
This
is
not
him.
This
is
a
very
light-skinned
Slenderman
this
right
here.
It's
very
handsome
chocolate,
locked
brother
right
here,
his
vaginal
clack,
so
I
want
y'all
to
look
at
this
I
know
some
people
think
all
black
people
look
alike,
but
he's
this
is
not
the
person
that's
in
the
picture,
so
that
was
defamational
character
for
him
and
has
impacted
his
opportunities
in
his
photography
business.
J
So
imagine
not
only
do
you
find
out,
through
the
news
and
through
your
family
that
you've
been
fired,
but
imagine
that
the
picture
that's
used
to
mischaracterize.
You
is
the
one
of
an
intimate
moment
where
you're
grieving
the
loss
of
a
murdered
young
black
African-American
woman
in
this
city
I
think
he
should
get
his
job
back
personally.
K
You,
yes,
my
name
is
Mike
Smith
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition
I,
live
in
District.
Three
I've
been
presented
last
week
about
a
crisis
that
had
occurred
in
Hamilton
County,
which
it
did
impact
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
and
that
was
the
displacement
of
over
300
individuals
from
an
eviction
from
a
hotel
closure.
So
I
wanted
to
come
today.
The
community
out
outpouring,
even
the
community,
stepped
forward
with
their
best
foot.
K
K
K
K
A
Mr
Smith
I
want
to
thank
you
publicly
for
taking
the
time
to
speak
with
me.
Educating
me
more
on
what
Homeless
Coalition
does.
It
was
very
enlightening.
It
was
very
soul-searching
and
in
the
midst
of
this
crisis,
I
want
to
thank
you
personally
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
for
caring
about
each
and
every
individual
and
I
say
that
with
all
I
have
in
me,
I'm
glad
you
came
down
and
shared
that
with
us
tonight.
A
B
Hello
Council,
my
name
is
Helen
burn,
sharp,
representing
accountability
for
taxpayer
money
I,
believe
you
have
in
front
of
you
a
two-sided
document
that
looks
like
this:
it's
the
holiday
season
and
so
I
came
bearing
gifts.
So
this
you
can
use
this
as
a
placemat
or
any
anything
you
choose
to
use
it
for
what
it.
What
the
map
is
is
an
updated
map
of
tax,
favored
properties
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
In
addition
to
showing
pilots
and
tips,
it
shows
properties
that
are
owned
by
governments,
churches
and
schools.
B
B
As
a
person
who,
as
you
know,
man
can
get
sometimes
in
the
weeds
when
talking
about
tax
incentives,
I
challenge
myself
to
try
to
do
an
elevator
version
of
why
I
think
this
topic
matters,
the
commentary
does
not
say
the
sky
is
falling,
I
recognize
the
need
for
tips
and
pilots
and
our
Economic
Development
toolbox.
However,
ATM
urges
caution
and
discretion
when
future
requests
come
to
you.
Here's
why?
B
In
the
past
six
months,
the
city
and
county
have
approved
the
diversion
of
about
90
million
dollars
in
tax
dollars
for
the
South
Broad
Stadium
Tiff
30
years,
and
the
access
road
North
River
Tiff
20
years
here,
is
a
list
of
ATM's
desired
takeaways
from
the
map
number
one,
a
recognition
that
a
number
of
valuable
properties
pay
little
or
no
City
and
County
property
taxes
for
public
services.
While
these
Agreements
