Description
Chattanooga City Council Meeting — 10-11-22
A
A
A
Tonight's
Pledge
of
Allegiance
and
invocation
will
be
led
by
myself,
and
then
we
have
a
special
presentation,
but
before
that
we
did
ask
mayor
Kelly
and
to
come
back
and
talk
with
us
and
share
the
information
that
you
shared
with
us
at
3
30
and
we're
putting
you
ahead
of
the
agenda,
sir,
because
I
know
you
have
made
time
out
of
your
evening
plans
and
that
you
need
to
move
on
quickly
after
that.
But
I
do
appreciate.
If
you'll,
let
us
open
the
meeting
with
our
pledge
and
then
I'll
turn
the
microphone
over
to
you.
A
B
Thank
you,
chairman,
Ledford
I,
appreciate
it
and
again
my
apologies
to
those
who've
heard
this
before,
but
chairman
Ledford
and
a
couple
of
the
other
Council
people
thought
it
was
important
enough
for
the
collected,
assemble
Crown
tonight
here
at
so
I
appreciate
you
giving
me
a
little
bit
of
your
time
today.
B
I
always
enjoy
coming
to
council
and
speaking
to
you
guys-
and
this
is
an
important
topic-
I-
want
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
and
anxiety,
specifically
I've
heard
in
the
community
about
a
a
very
important
step
forward,
we're
about
to
take
to
address
homelessness
and
blight
in
our
community.
Last
year,
this
Council
demonstrated
genuine
leadership.
Approving
the
purchase
of
an
old
extended
stay
motel
on
Lee
Highway,
the
motel
had
fallen
into
disrepair.
B
It
had
become
an
eyesore
and
a
nuisance
for
the
entire
community,
and
the
fact
is
that
many
structures
of
this
nature
still
operating
as
motels
in
the
space,
continue
to
plague
our
community
as
hotbeds
of
drug
use
and
crime,
and
that's
a
problem
we'll
have
to
address
going
forward.
B
But
the
bones
of
this
building
were
good
and,
of
course,
with
your
help,
we
seized
the
opportunity
to
turn
blight
into
a
positive
asset
for
the
community
and
that's
why,
together,
we
agreed
to
purchase
the
building
to
fix
it
up
and
to
turn
it
into
apartment
housing
with
on-site
services
for
those
who
need
it,
the
most
in
our
community.
As
we
all
know,
homelessness
has
grown
to
a
pretty
epidemic
problem
here
and
elsewhere
across
the
country.
B
I
understand
that
there's
some
folks
here
this
evening
to
express
concerns
about
this
project
and
I
know
that
many
of
those
concerns
are
heartfelt
and
these
are
good
people
who
love
Chattanooga
and
love
their
neighborhood
and
want
what's
best
for
it.
But
at
the
same
time
a
tremendous
amount
of
misinformation
has
been
circulating
and,
unfortunately,
many
people
are
letting
fear
of
unknown
get
in
the
way
of
the
facts.
B
In
the
past
few
months,
she's
had
the
thankless
task
of
taking
the
phone
calls
and
taking
some
frankly
unfair
criticism
around
this
issue
and
I'll
be
the
first
to
say
we
should
have
done
a
better
job
in
the
mayor's
office,
communicating
what
the
project
is
and
what
it
isn't
and
we're
going
to
take
a
more
proactive
approach
in
doing
that
going
forward,
and
that's
on
me
and
my
staff
and
I'm
sorry
councilwoman
birds
for
the
abuse
that
you've
had
to
endure.
B
But
I
want
to
clear
up
a
few
things
for
this
Council
so
that
you
all
have
the
facts.
You
need
to
understand
where
we're
headed
as
an
Administration
and
as
a
community.
This
project
is
an
essential
part
of
our
strategy
to
create
more
housing
units
for
people
currently
experiencing
homelessness,
who
want
to
take
the
steps
to
rebuild
their
lives
right
now?
We
just
don't
have
enough
housing
units.
B
That
is
essentially
the
problem,
and
we
see
that
where
there
are
units
we
have
been
able
to
house
more
people
than
ever
before
over
100
in
the
last
quarter
alone
and
2
000
housed,
together
with
our
partners
since
the
beginning
of
this
Administration,
but
we
also
know
that
the
longer
you've
been
homeless,
the
more
services
you
need
to
adjust
and
reacclimate,
and
that's
exactly
what
this
project
is
designed
to
provide.
This
is
not
a
homeless
shelter.
Again.
Let
me
repeat:
this
is
not
a
homeless
shelter.
B
It's
an
apartment,
complex
with
Supportive
Services
on
site
to
help
keep
people
housed
for
good
I've.
Had
the
pleasure
of
visiting
an
apartment
complex
in
Southern,
California,
run
by
an
organization
called
Step
Up.
This
organization
was
a
part
of
the
ARP
spending
plan
you
all
unanimously
approved,
and
they
are
the
National
experts
on
how
to
move
people
from
homelessness
to
successfully
reingrading
into
society,
and
what
I
saw
there
was
very
powerful
from
the
outside.
As
you
walk
up
to
the
building,
I
couldn't
distinguish
from
distinguish
it
from
any
other
apartment.
B
Building
on
the
Block,
the
sidewalks
were
clean,
the
neighborhood
was
vibrant
and
it
was
in
fact
next
door
to
an
elementary
school
in
Los
Angeles,
but
once
we
were
inside,
there
was
a
lobby
with
a
team
of
dedicated
staff
who
were
there
on
site,
24
7
to
help
provide
care
and
case
management
and
counseling
services
to
the
tenants.
Otherwise
it
looked
like
just
any
other
apartment.
Building
inside
I
was
able
to
talk
to
a
tenant
who
lived
in
a
modest
studio
apartment
who
shared
how
this
apartment
had
fundamentally
changed
his
life.
B
He
had
been
in
and
out
of
homelessness.
Basically,
all
of
his
life
since
he'd
entered
the
foster
care
system,
but
the
stability
of
having
a
place
to
call
his
own
and
a
safe
place
to
keep
his
things
after
work
gave
him
tremendous
peace
and
much
needed
stability.
He
talked
about
how
people
begun
to
look
him
in
the
eye
again
treat
him
like
a
human
being,
something
that
he
had
forgotten
was
possible.
B
He
had
returned
to
work
and
dedicated
his
life
to
serving
others
and
sharing
his
story
with
those
who
needed
to
hear
it,
and
let
me
tell
you
folks:
it
was
powerful
and
it
was
very,
very
real
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
build
here
in
Chattanooga,
nothing
more,
nothing
less.
While
we're
building,
we
are
building
a
shelter,
a
temporary
shelter
elsewhere,
because
our
community
certainly
needs
one
in
this
crisis
until
we
get
caught
up
on
on
housing
stock.
That
is
not
what
this
building
will
be.
This
is
not
a
temporary
homeless
shelter.
B
These
will
be
tenants
just
like
any
other
apartment
building,
except
these
residents
will
have
the
services
they
need
to
make
sure
they
get
back
on
their
feet
on
site
and
from
the
outside.
You
won't
be
able
to
tell
that
the
people
living
there
have
lived
lives
that
are
any
different
from
yours
or
mine,
and
that
is
exactly
the
point
and
here's
the
benefit
to
everyone
in
the
surrounding
Community
there's
one
less
dilapidated,
fleabag
Motel,
attracting
crime
and
blight.
B
In
fact,
since
we
bought
this
building,
9-1-1
calls
in
that
area
have
decreased,
47
percent
already
I
know
there
are
motels
in
the
neighborhood
there
that
are
causing
Silverdale
problems,
but
this
is
not
that
this
is
quite
literally
the
opposite
of
that,
and
if
we're
successful
here,
I
feel
confident
we
will
be.
We
can
use
this
momentum
as
a
model
to
convert
to
convert
others,
as
I
told
you
in
the
afternoon
session,
I'm
reminded
of
the
script
of
some
scripture
from
Luke
Whoever
has
two
tunics
is
to
share
with
him.
B
B
This
is
a
win
for
the
future
residents
and
it's
a
story
of
renewal
and
how
we
turn
to
community
problem
into
an
asset
for
the
community
and
to
be
sure,
this
isn't
the
only
thing
we're
going
to
do
to
tackle
homelessness
in
our
community,
we're
standing
up
a
low
barrier,
shelter
as
I
said,
and
we're
stepping
up
our
data
collection
efforts
through
the
regional
Homeless
Coalition
to
better
understand
how
to
serve
the
different
segments
of
those
experiencing
homelessness
in
chattanoogan.
B
At
the
same
time,
I
have
to
say
for
the
record,
my
Administration
is
not
going
to
tolerate
aggressive
or
threatening
criminal
behavior
from
anyone,
and
we've
had
some
productive
meetings
with
homeless
services
and
the
police.
Lately.
To
that
end,
Chief
Murphy
is
also
forming
an
expanded,
Crisis
Intervention
unit
and
we'll
be
expanding
the
bike
Patrol
unit
downtown.
B
We
are
taking
essentially
all
of
the
above
approach
and
we
will
make
progress
we're
going
to
meet
regularly
on
the
topic
in
the
mayor's
office
to
make
sure
that
we
do
with
with
Community
Partners,
who
are
also
involved
in
the
work.
So
I
won't
take
up
much
more
of
your
time,
but
I
did
want
you
to
hear
from
me
directly
that
this
Administration
fully
intends
on
moving
this
project
forward
and
I'm,
asking
for
your
continued
leadership
and
support
of
the
important
project.
B
A
Me
thank
you
again
for
accommodating
the
request
to
comment.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
people
here
who
really
wanted
to
engage
and
hear
what
you
had
to
say.
Firsthand
and
I
felt.
It
was
important
that
you
be
here
with
us
this
evening
and
share
that
information.
So
my
thanks
to
you,
sir,
for
coming
here,
see
your
light.
You
have
the
floor.
Hey.
C
Mayor
Kelly
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
and
I'm
just
going
to
ask
the
same
questions.
I
asked
earlier
in
regards
to
this
apartment
complex
that
that,
hopefully,
the
city
will
be
invested
into
what
kind
of
people
will
be
moving
into
those
areas
where
they
have
Services.
Could
you
just
just
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit.
B
B
C
Okay,
thank
you.
So
much
and
I
just
appreciate
the
efforts
on
this
that
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
People
come
and
say
what
is
the
city
doing?
What
are
we
doing
and
we
hear
that
every
week
from
all
types
of
people-
and
this
is
one
of
the
cases
that
we
can
say
that
we
are
doing
something
that
we
recognize
the
humanity
and
people.
C
C
So
I
appreciate
the
efforts,
I
appreciate
your
staff
and
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
I
I
do
support
this
project,
because
we
have
to
begin
to
realize
that
you
know
everybody's
circumstances
are
different
and
when
we
can
make
a
change
this
way
a
big
impact,
a
root
cause
change,
that's
going
to
make
a
big
difference
for
our
city.
So
thank
you.
B
So
much
thank
you.
Vice
chairwoman
and
again
I
think
it's
important
for
the
community
to
understand
that
this
is
not
at
some
kind
of
a
dumping,
a
problem
again.
The
facility
is
at
the
end
of
the
road
where
there
are
a
series
of
motels,
many
of
which
are
still
in
operation,
some
which
are
still
causing
Community
problems,
and
we've
talked
to
the
police
department
about
increased
presence
there
and
again
in
this
facility
will
have
private
security.
B
It
will
be
gated
and
it
will
have
cameras
again,
which
we
can't
say
for
the
for
the
current
motels,
which
are
causing
the
problem.
That's
a
different
problem,
which
we're
also
happy
to
work
with
the
community
to
address
further.
But
this
is
not
that.
A
Mayor
Kelly
I
have
one
more
light
for
you,
councilman
Hester.
Please
you
have
the
floor.
D
I'm
kind
of
puzzled
with
this,
because
my
my
my
Lord,
he
saw
the
lame
the
halt
the
withered
and
he
made
them
whole.
He
said
greater
work.
You
should
do
than
I
we're
trying
to
successfully
re-enter
folks
in
society.
That's
that's
all
we're
trying
to
do
and
I
appeal
to
your
consciousness.
D
A
B
A
Voice
their
opinions
and
express
their
concerns,
your
presence
here
was
very.
B
And
and
I
should
say:
Thank
you
Mr
chairman
and
we'll
continue
to
listen
those
concerns
again.
That's
why
we've
sort
of
slowed
this
process
down
and
we'll
have
a
public
input
sessions
to
to
listen
and
address
those
concerns
and
sort
of
fill
that
void
where,
where
there
hasn't
been
sufficient
explanation
and
knowledge.
So
thank.
F
Thanks
so
much
I
want
to
thank
all
the
people
that
showed
up
tonight.
I
know
that
your
concerns
are
sincere,
I
know
from
looking
at
the
petitions
and
things
that
many
of
you
don't
even
live
in
the
city.
That
doesn't
mean
that
you're
less
sincere
about
your
concerns
and
I
appreciate
your
being
here.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
Mr
Mayor,
you
did
a
great
job
and
I
think
you
alleviated
a
lot
of
concerns
and
for
that
I'm
grateful
I,
hope,
you'll
stay
around
and
listen
and
and
if
you
have
any
other
concerns,
I
hope
you'll
share
with
my
colleagues
tonight.
I
know:
you've
been
sharing
with
them
for
several
weeks
now
and,
and
they
would
like
to
hear
again
tonight,
if
you
have
something
else
to
say,
thank
you
so
much
all.
A
F
F
F
Mr
chair
for
a
number
of
years,
it's
been
my
pleasure
to
be
associated
with
the
Family
Justice
Center.
It's
been
a
privilege
and
a
joy
to
be
able
to
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
abused
families,
abuse
spouses,
abuse
children,
abuse
partners,
and
we
are
very
fortunate
in
Chattanooga
to
have
a
family
Justice
Center,
that's
been
around
for
officially
how
long
seven
years
it
took
a
lot
of
Blood,
Sweat
and
Tears,
but
now
we're
recognized
all
over
the
country
and
I.
F
My
friend,
Regina
McDevitt
is
the
executive
director
of
the
Family
Justice
Center,
and
she
does
an
outstanding
job
working
with
all
sorts
of
people.
It's
a
Consortium.
It's
a
One-Stop
shop.
There
is
no
wrong
door,
whoever
comes
our
doors
are
open
and
our
services
are
available
and
we
partner
with
a
number
of
churches,
individuals,
organizations
and,
of
course
we
have
a
special
victims
unit
located
there
at
the
Family
Justice
Center
rakita.
C
Hello,
chairman
and
council
members
I'm
a
newly
a
new
member
to
the
advisory
committee
of
Advisory
Board
of
the
Family
Justice
Center,
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
Regina
an
advisory
committee.
C
One
of
the
things
I
noticed
that
I
that
I
love
is
that
they
help
individuals
and
families,
find
security
and
stability
and
and
safety,
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
being
on
the
board,
no
matter
what
the
task
has
been
Regina
has
always
had
the
attitude
of.
If
we
don't
know
how
to
do
it,
we'll
figure
it
out
and
make
it
work.
So
I
have
I
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
Regina
and
council
members,
and
it's
been
a
great
pleasure.
F
G
Council

men
and
women,

nationality,
in
which
children
are
also
affected.
One
in
three
women
and
one
in
four
men
have
experienced
physical
balance
by
an
intimate
partner,
whereas
more
than
half
crimes
against
persons
in
Tennessee
are
domestic
violence.
Related
research
shows
that
domestic
violence
is
a
root
cause
of
other
crimes,
such
as
mass
shootings
and
gun
violence.
C
Within
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
we
have
experienced
almost
2
000
domestic
violence
incidents
so
far
this
year,
while
domestic
violence
is
not
always
manifested
as
physical
abuse.
It
is
also
any
pattern
of
behaviors
that
attempts
to
control
and
intimidate
a
partner
or
family
member
through
fear,
manipulation,
isolation,
Financial
abuse,
physical
abuse,
sexual
abuse,
stalking,
mental
abuse
and
or
verbal
abuse.
While
physical
injury
with
visible
marks,
May
often
be
the
most
obvious
signs
of
harm.
F
Whereas,
as
leaders
in
this
community,
we
realize
that
family
is
the
foundation
of
a
safe
and
healthy
community
and
ending
domestic
violence
requires
a
combined
effort
involving
every
part
of
our
society,
including
law
enforcement
and
our
justicism,
to
work
together
to
hold
offenders
accountable
and
to
protect
and
Empower
survivors
and
their
children
to
create
Pathways
to
Hope
and
safety.
And
whereas,
together
with
the
Chattanooga,
Hamilton,
County,
Family,
Justice
Center
and
their
co-located
partner
organizations,
there
is
help
to
hold
offenders
accountable
and
reduce
recidivism,
while
helping
to
ensure
victims,
safety
and
healing.
F
And
finally,
whereas
we
honor
the
tremendous
dedication
of
law
enforcement,
Advocates
and
Service
Partners
honor
the
courage
and
resilience
of
survivors
as
we
as
we
commit
ourselves
to
standing
with
them
for
safety,
dignity
and
Justice.
We
dedicate
ourselves
to
a
greater
Community
where
domestic
violence
is
not
tolerated
where
survivors
are
supported
and
where
all
people
have
an
opportunity
to
thrive
without
fear
of
violence.
Now,
therefore,
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
us,
we
do
hereby
Proclaim
October
2022
as
domestic
violence
awareness
month,
and
this
is
the
city
council,
Proclamation
and
councilwoman.
G
Thank
you,
councilwoman
burs
and
dotley.
We
love
having
them
support
us
they're,
wonderful
additions
to
our
team.
I
would
like
we
have
some
Partners
here
and
our
staff.
If
you
could
stand
up,
it's
really
important.
The
work
that
we
do
is
it's
collaborative
effort,
and
so
these
are
folks
that
are
a
part
of
the
work
of
the
Hamilton
County
Chattanooga
Family,
Justice
Center.
G
Without
coordinated
Community
responses,
we
cannot
be
successful
in
our
goal
to
keep
victims
safe
and
hold
offenders
accountable
and
ultimately
eliminate
domestic
violence
in
our
community.
The
Family,
Justice
Center
and
our
partners
support
a
model
that
offers
one
call
to
make
one
place
to
come
to
receive
services
to
be
connected
to
critical,
Community
Resources
that
promotes
healing
transformation
and
hope
for
the
future.
Every
person
has
the
right
to
live,
free
of
fear
and
violence,
and
every
person
should
have
a
safe
place
to
tell
their
story.
G
The
Chattanooga
Hamilton
County
Family
Justice
Center,
is
that
place
we
bring
together
in
one
location,
private
and
public
organizations
providing
support
to
address
intimate
partner,
violence,
stalking,
Family,
Violence,
teen,
Dating,
Violence,
sexual
violence,
elder
abuse,
human
trafficking
and
child
abuse.
The
theme
this
year
is
everyone
knows
someone.
Sometimes
you
care.
What
someone
that
you
care
about
is
likely
experiencing
domestic
violence,
whether
you
see
it
or
not,
one
in
four
women
and
one
in
four
men
experience
domestic
violence
in
their
lifetime.
G
G
Creating
a
coordinated
approach
is
the
only
way
to
truly
best
serve
victims
and
to
hold
perpetrators
accountable.
Last
year
the
Family
Justice
Center
served
over
600
individuals
and
including
our
partners
like
the
Children's
Advocacy
Center
legal
aid
of
East
Tennessee
and
the
partnership
for
families,
children
and
adults.
We
served
over
1700
people
and
children
in
our
facility.
We
provided
93
trainings
presentations
and
events,
and
we
were
able
to
consult
with
developing
Family
Justice
centers
in
Macon
Cobb
County,
and
way
across
Georgia
staff.
G
Our
staff
presented
at
the
International
Alliance
For
Hope
annual
conference
in
San
Diego
this
year
and
at
the
Statewide
Tennessee
domestic
violence
conference
on
compassion
fatigue.
I
would
like
to
give
you
an
example
of
how
these
multiple
Services
work
together.
I'm
calling
out
a
couple
of
important
people
who
who
do
this
work
every
day
their
front
line
officer,
Timothy
McFarland,
with
Chattanooga
police
department,
Lydia
Salva,
with
the
Family
Justice
Center
Priscilla
Sims,
who
is
a
sexual
assault?
G
Nurse
examiner
at
the
partnership
John
Jolly
Nicole
Benjamin
at
legal
aid
of
East,
Tennessee
and
assistant
assistant
district
attorney,
Carl
huskins,
so
officer
McFarland
was
responding
to
a
call
when
he
happened
upon
the
victim
one
who
was
not
his
real
name
running
from
his
husband
after
having
been
shot
by
him.
One
credits
officer
McFarland
was
saving
his
life
that,
if
it
weren't
for
him,
he
would
have
died.
Lydia
Salva,
Priscilla
Sims
and
the
legal
aid
staff
supported
this
Survivor
by
connecting
him
to
important
critical
resources
and
assisting
him
in
getting
an
order
of
protection.
G
District
attorney
huskins
also
supported
the
increase
of
the
bond
from
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
one
million
for
the
his
offending
partner.
That's
how
we
support
change
in
accountability.
Survivors
see
the
difference
one
shared
when
I
was
first
given
the
number
to
the
Family
Justice
Center
I
gave
it
some
thought,
because
sometimes
you
call
places
that
say
they're
going
to
help,
but
they
don't
you
guys,
have
been
great.
G
You
really
changed
the
way
I
was
looking
at
how
agencies
help
the
responsibility
lies
with
all
of
us:
government
officials,
Advocates,
Law,
Enforcement,
the
criminal
justice
system,
the
education
system,
media
Civic
groups,
mental
health
and
Health
Care
organizations
all
play.
A
Part,
the
power
of
we
brings
together
everyone
to
keep
victims
safe,
hold
perpetrators
accountable
and
create
a
safer
world
for
everyone.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
and
just
once
that
we
have,
tomorrow
is
law
enforcement
appreciation
day,
so
we'll
be
doing
something
with
our
law
enforcement
Partners
tomorrow
on
the
19th
is
Advocate
appreciation
and
then
on
the
28th.
We
have
a
domestic
violence
conference
that
we're
holding
at
the
Family
Justice
Center.
So
if
anyone's
interested
go
to
our
Facebook
page
or
website.
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
to
our
partners
and
staff
for
being
here
tonight.
Thank.
A
Dr
Burrs
Madame
Vice,
chair
dotley,
thank
you
for
the
proclamation.
Council
graciously
accepts
this
in
gratitude
for
your
service
to
our
community,
in
support
of
care
for
those
who
need
it
and
desperately
providing
those
wraparounds
love
that
we
all
we
all
need
and
I'm
so
proud
for
the
work
that
Family
Justice
Center
does
we're
going
to
take
one
minute
for
anybody
who
was
here
tonight
from
the
Family
Justice
Center.
That
is
not
wanting
to
stay
when
we
go
into
our
zoning
cases.
A
And
while
they're
exiting
I
see
a
lot
of
new
faces
to
city
council,
you
picked
a
great
night
to
be
here.
This
is
first
reading
on
zoning
cases,
so
we'll
be
here
to
about
11
tonight
and
so
I
hope.
You've
had
some
coffee.
You
know
that
is
a
little
bit
of
humor,
but
we
will
move
rather
quickly
through
the
next
nine
items,
we're
familiar
with
these
items
and
they
have
been
in
the
pipeline
for
at
least
60
days
through
the
Planning
Commission
process.
A
A
This
Council
have
any
objections
to
moving
item
I
to
our
first
first
reading:
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
seeing
any
objections.
So
when
we
get
there,
let's
get
through
Public
Works
on
Final
and
then
we'll
go
to
item
I.
Thank
you,
councilwoman
kunra,
thanks
all
right,
Madam
clerk.
Are
we
ready?
Yes,
all
right
here
we
go,
and
this
is
on
Final
Reading
Public
Works
item
a
please.
A
Henderson,
followed
by
councilwoman
Hill,
move
approval
motion
to
approve.
We
do
have
a
second
to
that
motion.
Questions
comments
before
we
vote
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
I'm
curious.
Thank
you
for
your
hard
work,
councilman
Henderson
ordinances
on
first
reading,
Madam
clerk
item
I.
Please.
I
A
K
J
This
is
the
last
set
of
slides,
so
if
you'll
bear
with
me
for
a
moment
off-
and
we
did
cover
this
it
committee
last
week-
so
I
will
review
the
main
items.
This
is
a
request
to
rezone
107
South
Germantown
to
rtz
residential
townhouse
Sierra
lot
lined
with
conditions
the
applicant
did
propose
to
conditions
for
the
rezoning.
The
proposals
for
single-family
detached
residential
uses.
The
site
is
zoned
R1,
as
is
the
adjoining
property,
and
I
did
mention
last
week.
J
It
committed
that
this
case
may
be
look
similar
and
not
to
be
confused
with
two
prior
rezoning
requests
at
the
site.
One
was
withdrawn
at
Council
in
one
case
was
withdrawn
prior
to
Planning
Commission.
J
The
existing
development
form
immediately
surrounding
the
site
primarily
consists
of
single-family
residential
homes
on
Lots,
ranging
from
quarter
acre
to
two
acre
lots.
There
is
not
a
specific
land
use
plan
for
the
area.
The
development
policy
from
the
county-wide
comprehensive
plan
identifies
the
site
as
having
potential
for
infill
and
Redevelopment.
That
is
urban
and
walkable.
J
With
the
most
potential
for
future
Public
Services
staff
found
that
the
proposed
single-family
residential
detached
uses
were
compatible
with
the
adjacent
single
family,
residences
and
development
form
and
staff
recommending
conditions
limiting
the
use
in
the
minimum
lot
size
to
ensure
compatibility
with
adjacent
land
uses
and
development
form
says
mentioned.
The
applicant
had
proposed
two
conditions,
but
the
staff
recommended
a
slightly
different
condition:
the
first
one
being
two
single-family
detached
residential
dwellings.
Only
one
single-family
detached
residential
dwelling
per
lot
townhomes
and
zero
lot
line.
J
Dwellings
are
prohibited,
so
that
is
part
of
the
use
conditions
under
the
first
condition
and
that
each
lot
shall
have
a
minimum
lot
size
of
7
500
square
feet.
There
was
opposition
at
Planning
Commission.
There
had
been
opposition
to
the
two
prior
cases
that
were
for
a
more
intense
development
than
this
proposed
case.
J
Opposition
mentioned
items
such
as
spot
zoning,
protecting
the
historic
Brainerd
Community
concerned
about
additional
rental
units
and
that
two
houses
fitting
into
this
location
did
not
work.
Planning,
Commission
determined.
The
request
is
not
compatible
with
adopted
development
policy
in
Portland,
county-wide
plan,
adjacent
land
uses
or
development
form,
and
this
comes
with
a
Planning
Commission
recommendation
to
deny.
A
Thank
you,
Karen.
The
applicant
will
have
seven
minutes
for
presentation,
opposition
nine
minutes
total
and
then
the
applicant
two
minutes
to
respond.
I
noticed
a
lot
of
hands,
so
at
Planning
Commission
we
tend
to
elect
someone
who
may
want
to
speak
for
the
group,
so
be
thinking
about
that
in
your
nine
minutes.
Sir,
thank
you.
K
L
Council
has
this
discussion
is
underway,
so
this
is
the
third
request
that
has
been
looked
at
for
this
property,
and
so
the
first
request
came
with
a
proposed
of
seven
town
homes.
L
After
meeting
with
the
neighbors
prior
to
coming
before
city
council,
we
withdrew
that
request
and
truthfully
that
was
probably
a
bridge
too
far
in
terms
of
what
was
proposed
on
the
property.
Is
it
related
to
seven
town
home
units?
The
next
request
that
we
came
forward
with
was
then
going
to
four
town
home
units.
L
Subsequently,
at
that
point
there
was
a
meeting
that
was
held
at
my
office
with
mayor
Littlefield
and
members
of
the
community,
and
it
was
a
good
meeting
during
which,
at
that
meeting,
it
was
stated
that
why
don't
we
come
back
forward
with
two
single-family
residential
lots,
which
is
what
we
have
before
you
now.
L
The
only
thing
that
is
different
in
the
reason
asking
for
the
rtz
zone
is
this.
Both
of
these
lots
have
a
minimum
of
the
7
500
square
foot
area.
They
are
the
same
size
or
larger
as
many
of
the
other
Lots
in
the
neighborhood
in
the
area.
The
only
difference
is
is
that
we
do
not
have
the
lot
Frontage.
So
if
you
put
the
two
staff
recommendations
as
it
relates
to
conditions
of
them
being
only
allowed
for
single
family
use,
it's
exactly
what
was
discussed
in
my
office.
L
So
I
believe
that
this
is
a
plan
that
is
in
keeping
with
the
neighborhood
and
with
the
area.
And
if
you
look
at
the
drawing
that
I
passed
to
you,
you
will
see
that
there
is
a
varied,
a
various
types
of
units
within
the
area
from
duplexes
to
Apartments,
to
single
family.
So
putting
two
single-family
homes
in
this
particular
area
actually
is
very
compatible
and
very
much
in
keeping
with
what's
going
on
within
this
community.
M
Mr,
chairman
and
members
of
the
council,
I'm
Ron
Littlefield
I
reside
at
3420,
Glendon
drive
I,
have
been
a
resident
of
Glendon
place
for
51
years
and
in
my
50
years
of
planning,
experience
learned
a
few
things.
One
is
that
a
leftover
lot,
which
this
is
usually
left
over
for
a
reason
and
frequently
it's
topography
and
drainage
issues
and
that's
a
serious
issue
with
this
property.
M
M
Actually
it
sits
within
that
little
Notch
that
you
see
and
the
property
gets
all
the
flow
that
flows
off
of
this
property
and
I
was
called
not
to
well
just
a
few
days
ago
in
one
of
those
heavy
rains
that
we've
had
since
the
seasons
have
been
changing
and
becoming
more
challenging,
and
he
said
the
water
is
lapping
at
my
door.
What
do
I
do
and
I
said?
Well,
we
talked
about
a
few
things.
I
said
sandbags
whatever
no
finally
I
just
said
pray,
maybe
the
rain
will
stop
it
did
it.
M
It
came
that
close
to
coming
into
his
house.
So
my
point
is
that
drainage
is
something
that
has
to
be
considered.
The
second
point
there
on
your
on
your
paper
is
the
city:
has
a
comprehensive
zoning
study
presently
in
processity
and
neighborhood
context
and
affordable
housing
be
a
part.
An
advisor,
a
citizen
to
it
haven't
heard
from
it.
I
know
that
the
consultant
is
working
on
it.
There's
a
Runway
and
a
wrong
way
to
produce
affordable
housing
and
density
and
doing
scatter
shot
zoning
spot
zonings
like
this
is
not
the
proper
way
to
do
it.
M
You
address
some
problems
and
create
others
and
the
third
item.
In
this
case
the
developer
bought
the
property,
because
we
have
concerns
about
people
too.
You
know
developer,
has
a
react
right
and
a
reason
reason
to
develop
the
property.
He
bought
it
a
very
reasonable
price
and
he
can
build
a
home
with
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
at
an
attractive
and
and
profitable
and
not
affect
the
community.
He
can
go
ahead
with
the
present
zoning.
M
He
can
come
back
later
and
add
the
other
house
in
the
Adu,
which
this
also
includes
the
accessory
dwelling
unit,
option,
which
was
recently
adopted
by
this
Council
and
so
far
as
I
know.
No
one's
done
anything
with
accessory
dwelling
units.
This
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
a
house
and
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
than
if
he
is
able
to
successfully
address
the
drainage
problems.
Then
he
could
come
back
a
year
later,
If
you
deny
it
tonight
and
apply
to
have
the
second
unit
added.
M
We
did
not
see
a
plan
addressing
the
proper
if
they're
going
to
put
in
retention
basins
or
anything
of
that
nature,
we
need
to
know
it
who's
going
to
who's
going,
to
manage
and
maintain
them,
and
all
of
that
and
believe
me
friends,
this
is
a
serious
problem
and
when
people
would
call
me
and
say,
can
you
do
this?
Can
you
do
that?
I
would
say
well,
I
can
do
a
lot
of
things,
but
I
cannot
affect
the
laws
of
physics.
M
N
My
name
is
Frank
Meyer,
my
wife,
Annette
and
I
live
at
102
Vista
Drive
in
Glendon
place
my
home
backs
up
to
this
particular
lot
again.
What
attracted
me
to
Clinton
Place
is
a
historic
beauty
of
the
small
Brainerd
Community.
The
neighborhood,
as
far
as
we
can
tell,
will
be
one
of
the
oldest
neighborhoods
in
Brainerd,
with
homes
dating
back
a
hundred
years.
N
We're
here
been
there
50
years
or
more
Mr
Littlefield
being
one
of
those
can
Clinton
Place
go
back
to
be
an
historic
gym
of
of
Brainerd
I
believe
it
can
just
like
St
Elmo,
and
we
have
plans
we're
going
to
work
on
looking
at
the
possibility
of
making
Clinton
Place
a
historic,
District,
Dover
Avenue
between
Brainerd
Road
and
the
interstate,
is
a
prime
example
of
preserving
R1
zoning.
N
N
So
it's
all
about
the
money
and
not
about
the
residents
two
homes
with
two
adus
literally
shoehorned
on
this
lot
asphalt
rooftops,
surrounded
by
10
foot
Evergreens
is
all
you'll
see,
there's
no
aesthetic
appeal
to
this
plant
at
all
the
Planning
Commission,
as
you
saw
on
the
slide
at
the
very
end,
the
Planning
Commission
stated
to
deny
the
mayor
was
there.
He
had
an
issue
with
a
zoning
issue
close
to
Fort
Wood,
very
similar
to
this.
N
Drainage
is
very
poor,
as
Mr
Littlefield
talked
about
and
then
also
I
passed
him
as
coonrod.
A
hundred
signatures
are
on
a
petition,
we've
been
around
two
different
times
and
the
residents
are
against
this
rezoning.
We
want
to
keep
it
our
one,
so
I
appreciate
you
letting
me
talk
and
take
the
time
to
to
talk
about
this
issue.
N
O
My
name
is
Bill
Green
I
reside
at
111,
South
Germantown
Road,
with
my
wife
Liz
after
meeting
with
the
landlord
the
engineer
some
months
back,
we
learned
these
units
will
be
rentals
not
owned
by
individual
owners
that
brings
persons
going
and
coming
traditionally
these
lands.
These
leads
to
downgrading
of
tenants,
conditions
and
rental
property
and
surrounding
property
values.
O
O
O
O
O
N
A
A
Thank
you,
sir.
That's
27
seconds
so
we'll
Mr
Price,
we'll
reset
at
two
minutes.
You
have
two
minutes
to
respond.
Sir.
Thank.
L
You
so
the
property
in
the
back
is
a
hundred
foot
in
width,
and
if
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
now,
we
are
seeing
lots
that
are
50
foot
in
width
that
are
done
all
the
time
in
this
city.
So
you
have
the
ability
to
put
two
single-family
homes
in
the
back
here
and
have
the
appropriate
side
setbacks
that
would
be
required
by
code.
L
What
I
heard
tonight
was
essentially
that
this
is
a
drainage
issue.
A
drainage
issue
is
not
a
zoning
issue.
I
understand
the
laws
of
physics
taking
hydrology
in
college
and
having
designed
many
many
detention
ponds
and
drainage
systems.
I'm
not
concerned
with
regards
to
being
able
to
ameliorate
and
address
those
sorts
of
issues,
as
it
relates
to
what
can
be
built
on
this
property,
whether
it
be
one
single
family
home
or
whether
it
be
two.
So
this
comes
down
to.
Does
this
fit
again
what
I
said
previously
in
the
community?
L
L
L
L
A
F
L
L
My
client,
when
he
purchased
the
property,
asked
me
several
times,
can
I
go
in
and
clear
it
can
I
take
out
the
bro
I
said:
don't
do
anything
until
we
complete
the
zoning
process
until
we
understand
where
we're
going
and
how
we're
going
leave
it
alone,
leave
it
natural.
Once
the
zoning
process
is
completed,
then
we
will
begin
the
process
of
figuring
out
exactly
what
we
need
to
do
from
a
grading
standpoint
and
from
a
building
standpoint.
L
L
A
P
I
know
in
the
Hill
City
neighborhood
retaining
R1
is
so
critical.
They
passed
in
their
neighborhood
association.
Basically
saying
you
know,
we
support,
R1
and,
and
that's
one
thing
they've
stuck
to
their
guns
is
our
one.
Looking
at
this
and
and
I
thought
I
hear
you
know
these
are
basically
all
around
that
single
family
dwellings.
P
J
Adding
numbers
correct
67
feet
is
what
the
applicant's
stating,
but
you
can
see
the
lock
configuration
trying
to
accommodate
Road
Frontage.
P
In
the
lot
with
yeah,
and
then
the
Lots
around
it,
do
you
know
what
the
average
Road
Frontage
size
is.
P
The
other
thing
I've
become
concerned
with,
particularly
in
my
area
where
where's
a
lot
of
rule
is
a
is
developers
wanting
to
put
puds
in
which
is
not
in
character
many
times
with
the
surroundings
that
you're
trying
to
put
it
in,
and
it
does
change
the
look
of
the
neighborhood
and
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
here
is
you
know
going
to
a
R1,
you
know:
does
it
change
the
look
of
of
what's
around
it?
J
I,
would
they
do
look
pretty
standard
to
me,
I
would
say:
Monte
Vista
is
probably
50
feet,
50
feet
wide.
I
guess
don't
have
the
numbers,
but
they're
The
Proposal
is
to
I'm
sorry
to
go
back.
I
was
trying
to
show
you
see
the
split
along
the
front
and
then
the
one
lot
will
sit
behind
the
other.
The
one
home
will
sit
behind
the
other
yeah.
P
So
this
would
be
a
40-foot
Frontage
and
a
38
foot
or
I
can't
at
that
number.
It's
awful
small,
but
roughly
that's
two
about
well.
Actually
it's
two
less
than
67
feet,
because
if
that's
what
the
okay
and
then
is
there
any
other
rtz
in
this
neighborhood
there.
J
Is
not
we
noted
that
that
there
is
the
the
spot
R2
and
then
there's
a
power
line,
he's
met
that
runs
kind
of
North
along
Audubon
drive
and
there
you
start
to
see
kind
of
a
land
use
change
north
of
there,
but
this
is
primarily
R1
with
that
exception
of
the
R2
on
the
corner
and
then
that
R3
just
to
the
Northeast.
J
J
J
J
Q
A
H
Okay,
thank
you.
Chair
I've
read
the
emails.
I've
listened
to
the
concerns
on
both
sides.
The
developer
has,
you
know,
tried
consistently
to
work
with
the
community
on
you
know
changing
his
plans.
He
went
from
seven
to
six
to
four.
So
now
he's
the
one
to
do
the
two
single-family
homes
so,
and
he
also
the
guy
next
who
lives
next
door.
Is
the
guy
who
lived
next
door
to
the
property
here.
M
H
H
A
A
A
D
Okay,
there,
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
opposition
to
this
development
and
without
what
I
like
to
see
is
that
the
developer
and
the
Neighbors
come
together.
Therefore,
I
want
to
deferred
us
for
30
days
until
we
can
come
together.
A
D
I
F
Yes,
sir
Mr
Emery
is
that
you.
F
R
F
J
Have
gotten
we
are
very
consistent,
as
with
staff,
to
comment
that
we
should
reach
out
so
I
feel
that
we
have
been
extremely
consistent
with
that
over.
F
F
Right,
there's
been
a
long
plan,
a
long
time
plan
for
that
to
be
a
transition
area
into
a
neighborhood
for
0-1.
Were
you
made
aware
of
that.
R
F
Actually,
the
buffer
is
the
office
use
a
block
of
office
use
until
it
gets
into
the
neighborhood,
and
the
neighborhood
has
counted
on
that
as
have
many
neighborhoods.
F
So
here's
what
I'm
gonna
do
I'm
gonna
defer
till
the
next
planning
meeting
I'll
be
happy
to
speak
with
you
to
see
if
you
can
work
out
some
other
use
that
is
complementary
to
what
we're
already
doing
and
what
was
built
across
the
street
and
all
the
other
offices
that
have
been
built
to
go
along
with
what's
happening
and
if
we're
not
able
to
work
anything
out
like
that,
then
I
will
make
a
motion
to
deny.
F
So
at
this
time,
I
would
appreciate
if
you
would
give
me
a
call
if
you
still
want
to
work
to
see
if
we
can
work
this
out,
I
want
to
support
you
in
working
it
out
and
with
that
sir
I
move
that
we,
let's
give
it
what's
the
next
state.
A

Mr

there's
going

be
a
lot

We

A
P
A
P
A
Right,

are

S
A
T
T
Thank
you,
I
am
the
chair
in
Chief
of
emergency
medicine
for
the
University
of
Tennessee,
College
of
Medicine
and
Erlanger
Health
System
I'm,
also,
the
Tennessee
College
of
Emergency
Physicians,
representing

doctors
in

executive
committee
of
the
fuse
Grant,
which
is
governed
by
the
Hamilton
County
Sheriff's
Department
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing
I'm,
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
permanent
Supportive
Housing.
We've
heard
some
fantastic
comments
from
mayor
Kelly
earlier
and
I
agree
wholeheartedly
with
all
of
his
comments.
T
Housing
is
health
care
I'm
here
tonight.
As
a
physician
representing
every
ER
doctor
in
our
community
about
the
significant
need
we
have
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing.
My
hospitals
currently
have
the
largest
emergency
shelter
in
our
community,
we're
working
collaboratively
with
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
as
well
as
the
county
to
address
this
issue
of
homelessness.
T
The
discussion
regarding
zoning
has
been
invigorating,
but
for
the
thousands
of
individuals
who
don't
have
a
roof
over
their
head
and
over
400
children
in
our
community
who
are
going
to
go
to
sleep
tonight
who
don't
have
a
roof
over
their
head.
This
is
an
important
initiative.
We
need
to
support
it's
going
to
require
continued
conversation.
We
see
early
benefits
from
only
a
handful
of
individuals
in
a
pilot
program.
T
Erlanger
health
system
has
realized
millions
of
dollars
in
savings,
we're
also
developing
a
large
resource
Consortium
to
track
the
cost
across
law
enforcement,
mental
health,
health
care
and
the
individual
costs
on
our
communities.
Homelessness
is
not
a
problem
of
addiction
or
mental
illness.
It
is
simply
an
economic
problem.
T
I
spent
the
past
two
weeks
in
San,
Francisco
and
Denver
evaluating
other
programs
that
are
successful.
Some
of
those
things
may
work
here
in
Chattanooga
and
some
may
not,
but
I
am
confident
that
we
can
solve
homelessness
in
Chattanooga.
We
can
solve
homelessness
in
Chattanooga
through
collaboration,
communication
and
permanent
support
of
housing.
Thank
you

minutes.
One
person
saved
me
through
Grace
by
offering
me
admission
into
a
Supportive
Housing
unit
at
that
time.
E
This
is
20
years
ago
launched
my
career,
my
dedication
to
do
what
I
do
throughout
my
career
I
brought
in
well
over
a
hundred
million
dollars
to
help
others
like
me
in
those
situations
through
direct
service
through
development
of
regions
of
counties
in
them
cities,
and
now
here
in
southeast
Tennessee,
in
which
I
reside
and
was
came
here,
I
believe
in
the
ability
of
this
area
of
the
community
of
the
providers
of
the
local
governments.
E
The
people
you
see
out
there
are
just
like
me:
every
single
one
of
them
will
live
up
to
their
100.
If
given
the
opportunity
to
do
so,
yet
they
cannot
do
so
on
the
street
in
unsheltered
situations,
we
believe
in
the
fact
that
all
of
us
are
creative
equal.
We
that
housing
is
a
human
right.
Housing
is
Health
Care.
E
If
I
can
do
it,
and
so
long
two
years
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness
as
an
unaccompanied
youth
is
a
very
long
time.
The
looks
I
got
you're
looking
at
me
now
in
my
eyes
they
didn't,
then
I
had
to
figure
out
ways
to
survive
in
that
situation.
Some
of
them
were
not
pleasant.
Some
of
them
I
still
have
to
deal
with
the
drama
of
it.
E
Today,
it's
not
fun
to
stand
up
here
and
share
stories
about
the
experience
of
dealing
with
unsheltered
homelessness
and
the
trauma
you
endured,
but
I
do
so
readily
to
try
and
shift
some
attitude
that
somehow
they
should
pick
themselves
up
by
their
bootstraps.
I
had
no
way
to
I
had
been
ident
completely
abandoned
by
all
resources.
I
had
I
tried
it
for
two
years.
E
E
U
Mariemont
District,
hey
I'm
here
for
several
reasons:
I
do
support
a
permanent
Supportive
Housing
as
well.
I
was
proud
that
I
had
an
opportunity
to
listen
to
top
lipka
in
2020
at
the
library
talk
about
permanent
Supportive
Housing
before
now.
It
is
a
human
right
and
there
are
various
different
issues
that
Todd
actually
stated
Chattanooga's
only
problem
to
solve
any
problem
that
we
have
here
is
the
lack
of
political
will.
U
I
want
to
read
that
last
week,
President
Joe
Biden
moved
to
Pardon
Federal,
simple
possession
charges
urged
states
to
do
the
same
and
called
for
marijuana
to
be
rescheduled
as
a
drug.
On
the
campaign
Trail
mayor,
Tim
Kelly
promised
to
decriminalize
marijuana,
which
has
yet
to
materialize.
In
2016,
the
Nashville
Metro
Council
made
simple
possession
a
low
priority
for
police
and
wrote
that
into
legislation
it
was
signed
by
mayor
Barry
and
followed
up
with
attorney
general
funk
in
2019
moving
to
not
prosecute
for
anything.
U
Less
than
half
of
an
ounce,
evidence
and
activist
call
right
now.
The
policing
and
racial
dashboard
for
Chattanooga
African
Americans
make
up
29
of
the
population
yet
make
up.
56
percent
of
simple
possession
arrests
for
perspective.
That's
nearly
an
arrest
rate
two
times
our
population
of
people
I
agree
with
President
Biden.
U
No
one
should
languish
in
a
jail
over
a
plant
and
I
have
in
my
hand,
over
2
563
people
in
Chattanooga,
who
agree
with
me
who
have
signed
the
petition
to
decriminalize
marijuana
and
write
legislation
that
ends
policing
practices
that
Target
specifically
and
overwhelmingly
those
who
are
poor,
impoverished
and
are
black.
We
are
years
behind
Nashville
and
frankly,
it's
time
to
catch
up
with
the
state.
U
The
other
matter
that
I'm
here
about
is
the
Central
Avenue
Extension
through
Lincoln
Park
I,
agree
with
the
writings
from
the
neighborhood
that
often
when
we
talk
about
not
in
our
backyard,
we're
talking
about
more
affluent
communities.
Lincoln
Park
has
over
A
Century
of
history,
with
Negro
Leagues
baseball,
a
bath
house
and
an
Olympic-sized
swimming
pool
that
is
still
there
and
that
history
that
culture
should
be
maintained.
U
I
am
here
speaking
because
Mama
Huguley
is
in
her
80s
and
she
said:
she's
tired,
Tiffany
rankins
has
been
fighting
for
years
and
she
said
that
she's,
tired
and
I
am
a
young
person.
Stepping
up
born
and
raised
in
District
8.
on
behalf
of
the
of
the
Lincoln
Park,
Community
and
and
Coalition
that
deserves
the
respect
not
only
of
the
mayor's
office,
but
any
decision
that's
going
to
be
made.
V
There's
1200
students
plus
plus
administrators,
that
were
concerned
about,
as
well
as
the
businesses
in
that
area.
The
school
itself
is
2
000
feet
doorstep
the
doorstep
from
this
proposed
development.
First
I
wanted
to
thank
this
body
for
tabling
the
vote
for
tonight.
That
was
up
how
I
became
involved
was
I
heard.
V
There
was
a
moving
forward
of
this
project
voted
on
September
12th
by
a
committee,
and
then
I
learned
that
there
really
wasn't
any
information
about
what
was
going
to
be
done
in
this
location
and
I
had
a
conversation
with
Sam
wolf,
which
I
appreciate
want
to.
Thank
him
for
his
generous
time
with
me
in
discussing
in
mid-september,
I
was
going
to
thank
the
mayor's
office
for
delaying
this
process
until
the
first
of
the
year.
V
There
can
be
no
compromise
in
keeping
our
children
safe
and
those
that
are
entrusted
are
responsible
for
their
care.
Our
schools,
not
just
Silverdale,
but
every
school
in
our
city-state
and
Nation,
are
now
vulnerable.
The
FBI
is
currently
investigating
Anonymous
sweating
calls
reporting
active
Shooters
at
schools
in
12
States.
V
V
We
need
to
be
mature,
open-minded
and
respectful
in
sorting
through
our
conflicting
viewpoints
and
ideas
ideas
as
a
collaborative
teammate.
We
desire
to
come
alongside
the
city
in
developing
a
long-term
vision
for
this
project
and
others,
thereby
establishing
a
collective
ambition,
buy-in
and
stakeholder
commitments.
After
all,
this
is
where
we
live,
and,
finally,
we
need
assurances
and
protocols
for
accountability.
W
I
would
like
to
say
that
we,
like
the
mayor,
believe
in
the
scripture
he
quoted
from
Luke
tonight
and
I
thank
this
Council
for
its
concern
for
all
the
citizens
of
Chattanooga,
and
especially
our
compromised
citizens.
That
is
not
in
question
at
all
and
to
not
assist
those
with
no
tunics.
Those
who
have
no
homes
and
little
food
has
never
been
the
issue
at
SBA.
We
have
a
proven
record
of
helping
to
feed
those
who
are
food
compromised
and
we
have
a
proven
record
of
giving
tunics
and
more
to
those
who
are
compromised.
W
But
what
is
a
concern
to
us?
Is
this.
The
gross
lack
of
communication
by
our
city
concerning
this
issue
and
all
the
miscommunication
I
would
venture
to
say
is
a
direct
result
of
such
little
communication
from
the
city,
We
Begin,
trying
to
work
with
the
city
over
a
year
ago.
On
this
project
we
were
told
we
would
assist
in
writing
the
RFP,
and
that
didn't
happen.
We
were
told
we
would
have
input
in
meetings
so
that
we
would
have
along
the
way,
information
to
share
with
our
own
stakeholders.
Those
meetings
didn't
happen.
W
We
had
one
meeting
in
September
of
2021
and
another
in
June
of
2022.
I
told
our
stakeholders
in
the
city
I
would
keep
our
stakeholders
informed,
but
I
could
not,
because
again
there
was
a
little
communication.
We
have
now
asked
four
times
for
the
simple
question
of
what
is
the
name
of
the
school
in
California,
where
this
is
working
so
well,
no
answer.
We
want
to
visit
this
school
and
we're
not
against
those
in
our
community
who
are
food
and
Soldier
shelter
compromised
we're
not
opposed
to
getting
them
help
or
shelter.
W
We
are
concerned,
though,
about
a
system
with
no
infrastructure
that
has
been
communicated
that
will
make
these
precious
men
and
women
successful.
We
want
success
for
them.
Of
course
we
do.
There
is
no
model
to
show
where
this
has
worked
for
the
homeless,
at
least
that
we've
been
told,
and
we
have
asked
we
have
asked
so
that
we
at
SBA
could
visit
those
sites.
W
No
successful
site
has
been
given
to
us
to
view.
We
are
concerned
that
we
have
been
told
the
city
will
convey
the
property
to
the
provider,
they
choose
to
run
the
program
and
they
will
no
longer
be
involved,
and
then
citizens
will
I
assume
have
no
recourse
when
things
don't
go
well,
except
to
a
private
company
that
is
not
in
our
city.
W
If
the
city
had
done
their
due
diligence
to
communicate
to
our
city
at
large
and
the
council
that
was
put
together
at
the
request
of
our
mayor
communication
about
how
this
project
will
be
so
very
successful
for
our
citizens
who
need
this
program
and
others
like
it.
Few
of
us
would
be
concerned,
but
that
lack
of
communication
has
hurt
us
and
cause.
We
need
to
ask
why,
so
we
just
want
to
say
that
when
people
have
no
information,
they'll
grab
any
information
they
can
get.
So
please
help
us
thank.
X
Corey
evitt
District
Five
I
just
want
to
Echo
some
of
the
comments
for
the
mayor
and
of
sub
subject
matter.
Experts
that
have
preceded
me
and
will
be
following
me
in
support
of
permanent
Supportive
Housing
while
I
am
not
an
expert
I
just
wanted
to
share
on
behalf
of
my
grandparents
that
were
attended,
Silverdale
Baptist
for
decades
when
I
was
a
kid
and
until
they
are,
you
know
up
until
they
were
no
longer
with
us.
But
I
can
assure
you
that
as
members
of
that
church,
they
would
absolutely
welcome
this.
X
So,
just
speaking
on
behalf
of
Nani
and
Poppy
tonight,
I
just
wanted
to
say
thanks
for
everyone,
that's
spoken
up
and
just
quickly
on
housing
in
general,
because
I
wasn't
aware
of
the
first
three
zoning
cases,
but
I
actually
live
equidistant
between
all
three
of
those
and
I
wanted
to
say.
X
Thank
you,
Demetrius
for
allowing
extra
housing
just
up
the
road
from
Octapharma
and
from
Walgreens
I
want
to
say
to
councilman
Burr's
I
appreciate
you
looking
into
housing
down
there
by
Aldi,
it's
very
well
needed
and
to
Hester
Council
councilman
Hester,
the
Motel
6.
It
is
something
that
is
unfortunately
necessary
on
Brainerd
Road
as
I
walk
and
bike
up
and
up
the
road.
X
Excuse
me
it
does
act
as
temporary
housing
right
now.
I,
don't
think
that
is
the
perfect
solution.
I
think
we
need
actual
housing,
so
I
will
be
in
support
of
actual
housing,
but
I
just
want
this
Council
to
keep
in
mind
that
when
we
do
make
those
transitions
from
hotels
into
housing
as
I
hope
that
we
can
that
we
keep
in
mind
that
we
are
taking
away
a
transitional
resource
and
that
we
provide
that
as
well.
So,
thank
you
all.
Thank
you.
X
Q
Y
My
name
is
Casey
West
I
am
a
resident
of
District
Five
I'm.
Also
the
director
of
system
performance
at
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition
Mike
Smith,
is
my
boss.
I
come
before
you
tonight,
both
as
a
person
who
works
with
the
population
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
city.
Y
We
have
run
a
preliminary
performance
measure
for
Hamilton
County
and
for
the
past
year
we
have
seen
a
retention
rate
of
97
percent
of
residents
in
permanent
Supportive
Housing
situations.
We
call
that
good.
Those
are
great
outcomes
as
a
private
resident
of
Chattanooga
and
not
in
my
professional
role.
Y
I
want
to
speak
in
support
of
dense
housing
and
denser
zoning
and,
whenever
and
wherever
possible,
because
when
we're
talking
about
the
urgent
need
for
affordable
housing
in
this
city
and
the
urgent
need
for
more
housing
in
this
city,
and
then
we
see
zoning
be
a
barrier
to
that.
That's
a
solvable
problem
and
when
I
see
things
happen
in
Chattanooga,
like
investment
in
affordable
housing
and
investment
in
permanent
Supportive
Housing
and
investment
in
a
low
barrier,
emergency
shelter.
Y
These
are
the
things
that
give
me
hope,
both
in
my
professional
and
my
private
capacity,
that
we're
gonna
do
this
we're
going
to
make
it
happen,
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
every
chattanoogan
has
a
safe
place
to
call
home
and
has
an
address
from
which
they
can
address
their
city
council
person.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight
and
thank
you
for
your
votes
towards
a
more
Equitable
Chattanooga.
Z
Thank
you
good
evening.
Sorry,
I
have
a
cold.
My
name
is
Anne-Marie.
Fitzsimmons
I
live
in
ridgeside,
so
I
don't
have
a
district.
I
help
run
an
organization
called
help
right
here
we
are
the
non-profit
that
is
running
the
city
sanctioned
homeless
camp
on
12th
and
people.
Street
I
quit
my
job
as
a
school
librarian
last
year.
To
do
this
full-time
because
in
mind
of
my
business
partners
experience
we
have
seen
over
the
last
few
years
just
how
bad
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
is
and
I
truly
truly.
Z
Don't
believe
that
Chattanooga
can
be
the
city
that
we
all
want
it
to
be
without
taking
care
of
all
of
our
citizens,
and
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
provide
more
housing
for
them,
and
this
is
one
way
to
do
it
and
I
know
that
people
are
uncomfortable
about
it.
We're
we're
getting
ready,
we're
starting
the
process
to
build
our
own,
affordable,
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
it's
scary
and
crazy,
but
we're
gonna
do
it.
Z
Z
So
the
support
aspect
of
anything
that
comes
in
right
now,
the
support
is
so
crucial
to
helping
people
continue
to
stay,
housed
and
everything
else.
So
if
you
guys
want
to
talk
to
me
about
permanent
Supportive
Housing
anything
that
makes
you
nervous,
we
we
did
a
lot
of
research
in
Seattle
and
and
know
pretty
much.
You
know
what
it's
kind
of
supposed
to
look
like
I
know.
It's
scary,
but
there's
no
way
that
we
can
be
the
Chattanooga
that
we
want
to
be
without
providing
for
all
of
our
citizens.
AA
I
have
grown
up
in
Chattanooga
I,
currently
live
in
Chattanooga
plan
on
staying
in
Chattanooga
for
a
while
and
I
love.
Chattanooga
part
of
what
makes
me
love
Chattanooga
is
the
ability
to
see
Chattanooga,
take
care
of
our
fellow
friends
who
may
not
be
in
the
same
situation.
We
are
part
of
what
makes
Chattanooga
so
great.
Is
the
history
of
Chattanooga
think
about
when
industry
left
Chattanooga,
we
reimagined
ourselves
into
what
we
see
today
from
this
point
forward.
AA
AA
The
solution
to
homelessness
is
housing,
and
this
is
a
part
of
that
everybody
who's
spoken
so
far
in
this
room,
whether
they're,
co-workers
or
friends,
or
just
people
who
happen
to
live
in
the
same
city
as
I,
do
and
happen
to
be
in
the
same
city
hall
as
I
am
tonight,
they
care
deeply
and
so
do
I,
and
we
really
want
to
see
this
happen.
This
is
a
step
into
the
future.
AA
This
is
a
step
that
we
need
to
be
taking
it's
a
step
that
a
lot
of
chattanoogans
will
be
really
happy
to
see
put
into
place.
This
is
this
is
part
of
the
part
of
the
solution,
and
this
is
what
it
looks
like,
and
so
I
speak
to
the
today
in
support
of
permanent
Supportive
Housing
and
in
support
of
ending
homelessness,
as
we
know
it
in
Chattanooga
for
good.
AB
Evening,
everybody
well
good
night
almost,
but
for
you
all
that
don't
know
him.
Alan
Greene
I'm
representing
the
International
Association
of
black
professional
firefighters,
Sergeant
Holmes,
representing
national
black
police
office
Association.
So
we
just
as
we
said
we
would
the
first
time
we
would
come
back
and
give
you
all
an
update
of
what
we've
been
up
to
what
we've
been
doing
in
the
community
and
we'll
continue
to
be
really
dedicated
to
the
work,
pushing
the
one
Chattanooga
being
in
every
community
that
we
can.
When
we
can.
K
AB
Been
tons
of
events,
so
we've
just
supported
a
Ruckus
at
Avondale
event,
which
was
an
awesome
event.
It
was
everybody
out
there
playing
for
different
parts
of
the
city.
Also,
we
was
able
to
feed
the
little
league
football
team
one
evening
we
just
decided
hey.
This
is
where
we're
going
to
be,
they
got
out
of
practice
and
we
showed
up
and
we
did
when
we
do.
We
have
several
events
planned
out
throughout
the
months
October
we
have
a
trunk
or
treat
that's.
AB
Avondale
and
we
are
mandating
us
to
wear
costumes,
which
should
be
fun,
then
also
in
November,
we're
doing
a
pre,
Thanksgiving,
Turkey,
Bowl,
flag
football
game,
co-ed
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
y'all
still
play
you're
welcome
to
come,
we're
also
going
to
raffle
off
Thanksgiving
baskets
for
the
families
December
we're
doing
Christmas
baskets
we're
also
going
to
get
together
some
gifts
for
the
kids.
You
know
that
would
be
great
January,
we're
running
it
out.
AB
A
lot
of
centers
have
asked
if
we
can
come,
do
it
famous
chili,
cook-off
I,
don't
cook
chili,
so
that's
going
to
be
up
to
him.
February
Black,
History,
Month
talent
show.
So
these
are
just
some
events
that
we're
continuing
to
do
so.
People
understand
that
we're
serious
about
our
mission.
We
don't
live
in
moments.
AB
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
things
going
on
moments
in
time,
we're
not
about
moments,
we're
about
a
movement,
we're
about
a
movement
to
be
really
unified
in
our
community,
to
show
that
unity
and
show
that
we're
together
that
show
that
fire
and
police
are
together
and
I
must
say
we're
serious
about
it.
We
are,
we
talk
every
week,
we're
thinking
of
things
all
the
time.
What
can
we
do
better?
How
can
we
improve
this
event
in
our
departments
they
have
been
doing
all
they
can
Chief
Hyman
support
of
everything
we
have
done.
AB
Chief
Murphy
been
on
board
everything
they've,
given
all
they
can
give
and
we're
asking
whatever
you
all
think
of
anything,
whether
it
be
monetary
time,
volunteers,
if
you
can
spread
the
word
hey,
this
is
what's
going
on,
you
can
show
up
kids
love,
seeing
different
faces.
Our
biggest
thing
is
and
I
believe
this
to
the
core
of
who
I
am
and
I
truly
embrace
it
that
building
safe,
stable,
nurturing
relationships.
It's
a
direct
correlation
and
impact
with
building
safe,
stable,
nurturing
communities.
It's
the
bottom
line.
AB
If
we're
not
building
the
right
relationships,
we're
doing
nothing,
we're
not
doing
it
right.
You
can
pour
money.
You
can
pour
time
if
the
relationships
are
not
there,
we're
wasting
time.
So
that's
what
we're
doing.
That's
what
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
we're
not
letting
up,
because
we
don't
live
in
moments,
we're
in
the
movement.
AB
AC
Right,
thank
you
to
the
council
and
to
the
great
citizens
of
Chattanooga
I'll,
just
pick
it
back
on
what
Alan
said.
Some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
able
to
do
is
seize
the
moments
of
being
out
in
the
community.
AC
The
most
recent
event
that
we
attended
was
the
Rucker
Park
thing
they
did
at
Avondale
and
the
ages
of
the
young
men
that
were
there
from
all
over
the
city
were
from
the
age
of
21
to
early
30s,
and
some
of
these
guys.
Of
course,
we
don't
see.
They've
been
incarcerated,
they've
been
in
trouble,
but
just
to
have
that
engagement
that
we
was
able
to
create
a
narrative
with
them
and
also
exchange
numbers
to
where
they
can
call
and
speak
with
us.
AC
So
we've
been
able
to
go
out
not
only
with
the
younger
kids,
but
even
with
the
adults,
the
young
ones,
to
be
able
to
start
the
conversation
about
how
we
can
protect
and
can
keep
our
community
safe
and
that
helps
the
city
of
Chattanooga
grow
all
in
as
a
whole.
So
a
lot
of
these
events
that
Alan
was
speaking
of
a
lot
of
them
do
become
costly.
AC
We've
been
working,
diligent,
like
literally
taking
in
some
of
the
donations
of
things
that
we've
been
getting
to
put
on
these
events,
but
every
one
event
that
we
put
on
the
second
one
grows
even
bigger:
it's
a
hunger
that
the
city
wants
for
their
City
officials
and
us
also
city
employees
to
come
out
into
the
community.
AC
So
this
is
one
of
the
things
myself
and
Mr
Green
and
others
in
our
organization
have
dedicated
ourselves
to
I'll,
be
wrong
if
I
don't
give
props
to
the
mayor's
office
and
his
community
engagement
Department,
because
here
this
week,
I
don't
know
if
the
citizens
of
Chattanooga
know,
but
there's
a
group
called
Lighthouse
Collective,
alongside
with
the
community
engagement
Department
out
of
the
mayor's
office.
AC
That
has
events
every
day
for
our
youth
in
this
city
to
keep
them
out
of
the
streets
and
I
commend
them
for
that,
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
decided
when
we
first
started
working
together
is
to
motivate
and
we've
been
motivated
by
others
to
get
out
and
do
whatever
Parts
you
can
do
to
help.
So
we
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
all.
AC
Like
I
said
we
just
asking
for
whatever
support
you
all
can
lend
us
and,
like
I,
said
we're
going
to
try
our
best
to
hit
every
part
of
the
city
to
be
able
to
show
our
faces
to
engage
with
the
community
with
the
kids,
the
youth
and
then
also
include
schools.
One
of
the
things
we're
going
to
do
in
January
that
we
forgot
to
mention
is
a
back
to
school.
AC
We
normally
do
those
before
school
start,
but
we
want
to
engage
the
kids
before
school
go
back
in
for
that
last
half
one
of
the
things
we
are
going
to
hum
in
on
is
safety,
because
that's
around
that
time
of
the
year
that
everybody
get
last
because
school
is
about
to
end
out,
so
we
want
to
provide
that
starting
from
the
community
all
the
way
to
the
schools.
So
that's
something
that,
once
again,
our
department
fire
department
are
dedicated
to
do
so.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
Oh
thank
you,
chair,
y'all,
wore
me
out
this
past
weekend,
but
I
appreciate
everything
that
you
guys
are
doing
in
our
community.
It's
just.
It
feels
good,
seeing
our
young
people
and
adults
running
up
to
you
all
excited
to
spend
time
with
y'all
beat
brag
about
beating
you
in
basketball
or
flag
football
or
whatever
it
is
and
excited
to
see.
What's
next,
what
you
all
are
going
to
put
on
I
got
the
flyer
for
the
Halloween
Trunk
or
Treat.
Yes,.
AB
H
I've
been
passing
out
and
sharing,
but
if
also,
if
you
can
give
me
a
list
of
additional
things
in
the
dates
that
you
all
have
sealed
in
so
I
can
share
with
other
organizations
that
I'm
a
part
of,
of
course,
the
Order
of
Eastern
Stars.
H
We
we
on
board
to
support
as
well,
but
any,
however,
you
need
me
just
let
me
know
ahead
of
time
and
I
could
be
there
to
support
if
it's
monetary
or
you
know
it
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
because
I'm
on
City
councils,
because
I
I
care
about
what's
happening
in
our
community.
So
you
know
I,
don't
mind
putting
on
tennis
shoes
and
getting
out
there
cutting
up.
H
Because
that's
what
it's
about
you
know
when
our
community
members
can
see
us
pass
just
the
title
and
realize
like
hey,
we
like
to
have
fun
too,
and
we
have
the
same
share
of
concerns.
Then
you
know
that's
how
we
can
all
play
a
part
in
reducing
the
violence,
that's
taking
place
in
our
community,
so
you
got
my
support.
Thank.
Z
F
When
we
first
started
this,
you
promised
you
were
gonna.
Do
this
and
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
one
of
the
neatest
things
I've
heard
tonight.
That's
what
it's
really
all
about!
Thank
you
so
so
much
for
hanging
in
there
and
doing
what
you've
done.
F
I'm
sure
any
one
of
us
anytime,
you
need
any
other
help.

there
for
you,
just
holler

proud
of
you
