A
Thank
you
chairman.
This
is
an
exciting
day
for
district
two.
We
have
two
really
neat
things
to
celebrate
with
some
of
our
youngest
constituents
and
also
with
one
of
our
oldest
most
respected
establishments
or
organizations
within
my
district.
So
I
thank
you
for
the
privilege
to
stand
before
you
tonight
so
first,
I
would
like
these
boys,
the
rivermont
thunderwave
to
please
stand
up.
A
You'll
notice,
these
young
boys
in
blue.
They
are
the
dizzy
dean,
world
series
champions,
4,
9;
u
they
are
an
all-star
team
from
rivermont
park
and
this
is
kind
of
a
big
deal.
You
guys
y'all
know.
Sports
ball
is
not
my
thing,
so
I
read
up
on
this
and
what
I
want
you
to
know
is
that
this
summer,
these
boys,
with
the
help
of
their
coach
and
a
lot
of
sweaty
moms
and
dads
they
captured
this
championship,
which
has
never
been
done
in
the
history
of
rivermont
park.
A
A
We
have
starting
pitcher
jared
holloway
catcher,
hudson
wadley
shortstop
levi
duro,
first
baseman
luke,
phillips
second
baseman
maze,
ralston
third
baseman
hank,
mcdaniel
right
fielder,
patrick
donnelly
center
fielder
eli
loveless
left
fielder
liam
wonderlich.
Can
we
take
a
pause
for
how
awesome
that
last
name
is
outfield,
barrett,
spadey,
catcher,
luca
aragon
and
first
base
connor
gibbs?
So
what
a
season
that
is
an
exciting
summer
for
you
guys.
So
congratulations.
A
A
So
this
proclamation
reads
as
follows:
whereas
hearst
united
methodist
church
is
celebrating
140
years
of
celebrating
the
ch
of
serving
the
chattanooga
community,
founded
by
a
few
pioneer
families
from
hill
city
tennessee
jackson
chapel
was
the
original
name
of
the
church,
followed
by
new
hope,
methodist
church,
new
church
on
white
oak
road
and
hearst
memorial
m.e
church
all
before
it
was
established
as
new
hearst
memorial
church
in
1946.
D
B
A
B
All
right
next
on
our
agenda
this
evening
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
area.
11
east
brainerd
plan
and
I
believe,
miss
karen
hunt
is
going
to
give
us
a
short
presentation
for
some
of
you.
That
may
not
know
the
area
11
plan
has
been
in
the
works
since
I
feel
like
since
2012,
but
it's
been
2018..
It's
not.
B
And
covers
the
area.
11
is
code
word
for
city
district
4
in
case
any
of
you
are
tracking
that
online
and
karen.
You
want
to
go
ahead
and
start
sure,
and
tonight
we
will
have
the
public
hearing
before
we
take
a
vote
and
just
so
that
you
all
know,
I
don't
want
to
steal
your
thundercare,
but
this
has
been
through
several
years
now
in
the
works
and
through
the
planning,
commission
and
now
is
at
city
council
and
we've
had
a
very
lengthy
time
to
review
it.
F
Okay,
well,
thank
you
for
having
us.
So
this
is
the
east
brainerd
plan
or
area
11
plan,
as
you
sometimes
hear
us
referring
to
it.
You
may
recall
that
a
couple
weeks
ago,
eric
mctravers
from
our
staff
gave
you
a
presentation
on
this.
He
went
into
a
little
more
detail,
so
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
go
over
some
of
the
highlights
of
our
public
input
and
just
talk
about
our
general
approach
to
the
plan.
F
The
plan,
the
full
plan
is
on
our
website.
If
you
see
the
address
here
on
the
screen,
if
you'd
like
to
take
a
look
at
that
at
any
time
and
just
to
orient
you
or
maybe
for
those
in
the
audience
that
haven't
seen
this,
this
plan
study
area
is
bordered
by
interstate
75
and
south
chickamauga
creek
on
the
west
side
by
the
georgia
tennessee
state
line
at
the
south
and
then
on
the
east
and
northern
sides.
F
Line
when
we
first
started
this
process,
we
sent
a
direct
mail
letter
to
all
6881
property
owners
in
the
area,
and
then
from
that
we
have
generated
an
email
list
with
that
at
last
count
we
were
up
to
760
people
on
the
email
list
and
throughout
the
whole
planning
process
we
counted.
We've
had
3
000
different
individual
responses,
so
that's
either.
You
know
someone
has
taken
the
survey
or
they
participated
in
one
of
our
discussions.
F
We
had
online
or
they
came
to
an
open
house
that
sort
of
thing
or
even
watched
her
walk
a
walkability
video
which,
by
the
way,
I'd
just
like
to
put
in
a
quick
plug
for
that.
F
It's
also
on
our
website
same
place
in
the
area
plan
and
even
though
it
focuses
on
how
to
improve
walkability
focusing
on
gun
barrel
road,
it
really
applies
to
any
corridor
throughout
the
city
where
you
may
think.
We
need
a
little
improvement
in
that
respect.
So
I'd
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
that.
F
F
F
When
we
look
at
commercial
development
again,
they
were
concerned
about
the
lack
of
walkability
along
gun
barrel,
road
around
hamilton
place
and
all
of
the
the
corridors
really
excuse
me.
They
were
also
concerned
about
all
the
strip
commercial
development
up
and
down
the
corridors.
They
just
felt
it
was
too
much.
They
didn't
want
to
see
any
more
of
it.
They
were
also
concerned
about
the
way
that
the
commercial
development
looked
and
wanted
to
see
some
improvements
there
in
terms
of
housing.
F
I
think
people
in
in
the
community
certainly
did
recognize.
There
was
some
need
for
more
housing
diversity
throughout
the
city,
including
area
11,
and
certainly
everyone
would
like
to
see
more
affordable
housing,
but
they
were
also
very
concerned
about
preserving
the
single-family
neighborhoods.
They
didn't
want
them
to
be
encroached
by
high-density,
residential
or
commercial
development.
They
wanted
to
keep
that
single-family
character
and
then,
finally,
when
it
comes
to
some
of
the
natural
resources
in
open
space,
we
heard
a
lot
of
concerns
about
flooding
and
development
in
the
flood.
F
Plain
davidson
road,
for
those
of
you
are
familiar
with
the
area
might
not
be
surprised
that
that
got
a
lot
of
attention.
They
also
said
they
wanted
to
see
more
active
green
spaces
throughout
the
area
and
better
access
to
the
ones
that
they
already
have
so
really
the
the
general
approach
we
took
to
all
this
follows
what
we're
calling
a
centers
and
corridors
approach
and
we're
using
this
for
for
all
of
our
area
plans,
and
it
really
has
three
essential
concepts.
F
One
is
that
you
have
walkable
clustered
centers,
where
we
will
try
to
to
concentrate
new
retail
and
commercial
uses,
and
you
can
see
those
identified
on
this
map
of
area
11
and
the
red
circle.
So
you
see
the
the
big
red
circle,
of
course,
is
hamilton
place
there
at
gun
barrel
and
shallow
ford.
But
then
you
see
some
smaller
ones
and
some
key
intersections
and
the
idea
again
is
to
try
and
cluster
new
commercial
and
especially
retail
development,
these
areas,
rather
than
spreading
it
all
up
and
down
the
corridors.
F
So
that's
kind
of
the
the
approach
that
we're
taking
and
again
you
can
see
in
addition
to
the
the
red
circles,
you
see
some
kind
of
blue
lines.
Those
are
the
corridors
along
gun
barrel,
road
parts
of
shallow
ford,
road
and
parts
of
east
brainerd
road,
where
we
really
want
to
in
the
future.
Try
to
to
limit
that
new
commercial
growth
to
those
areas,
and
then
I
am
going
to
skip
through
some
of
these
slides
that
I
think
eric
already
showed
you
and
just
jump
to
the
the
place
types
map.
F
So
this
is
basically
what
we
refer
to
as
land
use
maps
in
previous
older
plans.
But
this
basically
follows
what
I
just
described
that
centers
and
corridors
approach
you
see.
The
everything
in
yellow
is
the
single
family
neighborhoods,
which
are
proposing
to
just
pretty
much
leave
the
way
they
are
and
then
focus
some
of
that
new
commercial
development
or
redevelopment
in
the
areas
that
you
see
in
the
red
and
orange
and
blue
at
the
centers
and
in
the
corridors.
F
So
that
is
basically
it
again.
If
you'd
like
to
review
the
whole
plan
or
look
at
that
walkability
video,
they
are
located
on
our
website
and
I
will
stop
there
and
see
if
you
have
any
questions.
Does.
B
B
You
involved
a
tremendous
amount
of
people
from
district
four,
and
when
you
look
at
that
map,
I
want
you
to
to
notice
that
you
listened
to
the
folks
in
district
four
as
well,
because
you'll
see
suburban
residential
as
a
large
large
portion
of
district
four,
and
I
think
that's
a
testament
to
just
how
well
you
did
listen
growth
is
is
going
to
happen
and
we
understand
that
we
are
the
most
heavily
populated
district
of
all
nine,
but
the
way
that
you
have
focused
and
helped
craft
it.
B
The
land
use
plan
moving
forward,
which
we
were
25
to
30
years
behind
now
supports
suburban
residential
in
the
vast
majority
of
district
four
and
and
intelligently
placing
your
higher
density
near
the
corridors
that
can
support
it.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
you
and
your
staff
and
for
listening
to
the
folks
at
district,
four,
okay,
you're.
F
B
So
with
this
I
will
now
officially
open
the
public
hearing
on
the
area
area,
11
land
use
plan,
and
we
will
allot
30
minutes
for
this
portion
of
the
meeting
and
each
speaker
will
have
three
minutes,
as
we
decided
last
week
at
council,
the
rules
for
this.
So
that
will
officially
begin
now.
If
anybody
would
like
to
come
forward.
B
G
My
name
is
john
john
and
I
don't
technically
live
in
the
area,
but
I
live
adjacent
to
it
in
highland
park
and
I
drive
through
there
almost
every
time
I
get
in
my
car
highland
park's,
not
adjacent
to
district
four
or
sorry.
I
I
drive
through
the
east
brainerd
area
almost
every
day
in
my
route
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
plan
on
showing
up
to
these
city
council
meetings
to
talk
about
is
walkability
and
pedestrian
access
and
equal
opportunity
to
businesses
and
food
throughout
our
city
and
building
strong
neighborhoods.
G
To
do
that,
the
first
time
I
came
to
a
city
council
meeting,
it
was
very
reactionary,
so
I
want
to
start
being
more
proactive.
I
believe
in
ugc
and
what's
happening
here
and
the
zoning
that
allows
for
this.
But
part
of
what
troubles
me
is
some
of
the
access
for
people
to
help
speak
into
these
zoning
changes.
Right
now
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
contractors
and
people
with
money,
but
in
particular
about
this
plan.
What
gives
me
pause
is
that
these
things
are
at
odds.
G
G
That's
not
the
same
as
walkable
walkable
is
when
you
can
go
from
your
house
to
food
without
the
reliance
of
a
700
car
payment
walking
around
an
area
that
is
a
strip
mall
or
a
dense
area
of
population
isn't
quite
the
same
thing,
and
so
what
that
means
is
that
you
want
less
congestion
but
you're
building
something
centered
to
arrive
at
strictly
in
a
car.
Now.
G
There's
multiple
forms
of
transportation
that
are
coming
into
play
and
I'm
optimistic
about
that.
But
if
you
drive
to
and
walk
around
to
a
place
that
isn't
the
same
as
walkable
single
family,
housing
isn't
affordable
housing
even
with
dense
populated
areas,
we
need
more
infill
and
missing
middle
housing.
G
So
when
you
drive
to
a
place,
you
make
it
congested,
you
increase
lanes
and
when
you
don't
put
a
pedestrian
focus
but
try
to
put
a
pedestrian
spin,
it
doesn't
always
accomplish
that.
So
what
I'm
saying
here
is
I
love
where
this
is
going.
I
think
that
there
are
going
to
be
some
real
problems
in
accomplishing
everybody's
wishes
and,
in
particular
the
survey
that
surveyed
6
000
homeowners.
G
If
I
lived
in
the
area,
I
wouldn't
have
been
accounted
among
those
two
years
ago,
because
up
until
two
years
ago
I
was
a
renter
and
there's
a
big
portion
of
the
population,
especially
those
in
need
of
affordable
housing
who
do
not
own
property
in
that
area.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
their
voices
are
represented.
That's
not
even
why
I
came
here
tonight,
but
it
is
something
I'm
passionate
about,
and
I
hope
that
you
take
into
consideration
that
that
survey
left
out
a
big
portion
of
that
population.
B
Thank
you
karen.
We
did
have
a
mechanism
in
place
for
renters
in
the
apartments
since
the
that
was
brought
up.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
cover
that
a
little
bit
here.
F
We
we
tried
our
best.
I
will
say,
admittedly,
that
it
is
difficult.
We
don't
have
ready
access
to
those
addresses.
We
did
go
to
several
of
the
apartment
complexes
called
them
asked
if
we
could
come
and
put
flyers
out
at
their
central
mailbox
or
something
like
that.
Some
accommodated
us
some
didn't
sure.
B
One
of
the
efforts
that
I
took
personally
was
on
my
next
door
profile.
I
can
reach
about
4
000
people
with
the
click
of
a
mouse
and
and
it's
interesting,
because
if
you
watch
platform
like
next
door,
you
can
get
an
opinion
on
about
anything
in
about
10
seconds,
so
that
information
was
put
out
there
and
I
think
that
the
response
could
have
been
better.
Obviously,
we
can
always
do
better,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
gentleman
making
the
comments
and
that's
something
as
we
move
forward
to
the
area.

However,
several
departments,
including
parks

have
utilized
this

which
is

we

However,
this

by

The
increase
is
due
to
a

increase
of
twenty

from

you

At

only
upon
matters
within
the
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
authority
of
the
council.
I
Good
evening-
and
I
do
hope
considering
what's
coming
out
of
our
police
department
and
my
commitment
to
coming
down
here
for
six
years,
I
have
a
little
bit
more
than
three
minutes.
I
If
one
really
wishes
to
know
how
justice
is
administered
in
a
country,
one
does
not
ask
or
question
the
policemen,
the
lawyers,
the
jury,
the
judges
or
protected
members
of
the
middle
class.
One
goes
to
the
unprotected,
those
precisely
who
need
the
law's
protection,
the
most
and
listen
to
their
testimony.
James
baldwin.
I
I
stand
here
on
behalf
of
a
young
person
that
I
love,
who
is
a
part
of
the
mayor's
youth
council.
He
is
a
hamilton
scholar.
Second,
in
his
class
at
brainerd,
his
name
is
marquez
thompson.
I
I
I
He
lied
about
it
to
internal
affairs
and
that's
listed
in
the
internal
affairs
investigation.
This
happened
almost
10
years
ago
and
that
same
man
who
would
ascend
through
the
ranks
later
on
down
the
line,
will
become
our
assistant,
police
chief
and
suppress
the
rapes
of
women
of
desmond
logan
and
the
sexual
assault
of
the
utc
employee.
I
I
Since
1989
they
have
exonerated
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifteen
people
all
across
our
country,
which
equals
twenty
seven
thousand
years
of
life
lost
because
of
police
official
misconduct.
It
goes
without
saying
many
people
have
misunderstood.
My
drive,
my
passion,
my
love
for
this
city
and
even
my
accountability
towards
leadership
in
the
police
department.
I
This
is
potentially
hundreds
of
cases
and
people
who
could
be
locked
up
and
wrongfully
convicted
because
of
what
was
said
against
them
in
a
court
of
law,
I
could
go
to
jail
and
every
one
of
us
in
this
room
for
perjuring
ourselves
on
the
stand.
We
should
not
stand.
Please
please,
sir,
if
I,
if
I
please
may
because
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
please.

E
C
Good
evening
to
the
council
evening,
ma'am
my
name
is
ann
pierre.
I'm
president
of
chattanooga
hamilton,
county
branch
acp
today
I
released
a
press
information
sheet
and
that
sheet
says,
based
upon
information
reported
in
the
various
news
media
related
to
the
chattanooga
police
placed
on
desk
duty
and
the
rebuttal
comments
from
the
fraternal
order
of
police.
C
We
asked
for
a
review
of
every
case
in
which
these
officers
provided
testimony.
This
issue
is
not
about
police
chief
murphy,
who
has
been
on
the
job
less
than
six
months.
It
is
about
treatment
of
the
citizens
of
chattanooga,
no
police
officer
or
any
other
person
has
the
right
to
lie
in
response
to
questions
during
a
proceeding,
the
people
of
chattanooga
are
due
fair
policing
and
testimony
in
every
instance.
C
The
information
that
we
have
thus
far
is
information
listed
in
the
press
and
word
of
mouth
from
various
groups
and
individuals
in
our
city.
The
citizens
are
due
explanations
from
mayor
kelly
and
the
entire
city
council,
or
should
the
citizens
ask
the
department
of
justice
for
a
federal
review
of
the
police
department?
C
The
nacp
will
not
stand
by
while
the
real
issue
is
being
hidden
behind
the
new
police
chief.
She
did
not
lie
the
police
officers
by
information
and
their
stated
records
lied.
Therefore,
a
process
should
begin
immediately
to
review
the
judicial
cases
to
which
these
officers
testify.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
