The
the
items
were
requested
to
be
voted
on
last
week
to
be
separated
out
as
long
as
you
all
are.
Okay,
with
the
versions
of
item
number
b,
I
think
there's
no
problem,
but
you,
you
do
have
two
versions
of
item
number
b
and
you
can
vote
on
them
as
a
group
if
you
choose,
but
you
need
to
sort
that
out
on
item
b.
J
A
F
A
J
J
N
Had
to
move
my
paper
councilwoman
coonard,
thank
you
chair.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
our
constituents
that
are
on
on
the
live
with
us
that
they're
not
misinterpreting
what
russell
has
said,
because
that'll
open
up
a
whole
nother
thing,
because
what
he's
talking
about
is
separate
for
the.
Why
on
why
we
needed
to
have
page
69
replaced.
N
It
was
just
a
draft,
it
was
just
a
draft.
It
wasn't
something
that
was
intended.
That
was
going
to
be
implemented.
The
draft
was
being
worked
on,
and
so
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we're
giving
the
right
information
to
our
constituents,
because
if
we
lead
them
on
the
wrong
things,
then
that's
where
we're
going
to
be
getting
all
the
emails
and
the
calls
as
to
why
we
didn't
implement
a
2.5
raise
when
that's
not
what
this
ordinance
is
about.
Do
I
agree
that
our
employees
need
to
have
a
raise?
N
Yes,
absolutely
we
need
to,
but
at
this
point,
if
we
you
know
covet
put
us
in,
you
know,
made
life
a
little
different
for
everybody.
So
we
got
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
know,
our
administration
and
us
as
a
council
that
we
have
to
look
at
the
funds
that
we
have
and
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
draw
in
every
year.
So
what
we're
doing
here
is
making
sure
that
the
people
are
being
raised
to
the
federal
poverty
guidelines.
N
That's
a
start,
and
then
maybe
we
can
look
at
what
what
our
funding
look
like
for
next
year.
If
that's
something
that
we
can't
do
across
the
board.
We
all
agree.
This
15
minimum
wage
has
been
a
fight
every
four
years,
every
time
election
come
about,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
for
me
and
my
vote
that
I'm
not
misleading
to
my
constituents
about
what
we're
voting
on
tonight.

O
O
O
O
A
A
A
A
A
I
P
I
I
am
you
know,
I
think
one
of
the
concerns
that
we
have-
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
did
not
show
up
on
the
timeline
was
that
six
neighbors
that
have
joined
this
property
signed
a
petition.
You
know
asking
the
council
to
deny
this,
we
all
back
up
to
it.
You
know
I
mean
as
y'all
for
those
that
are
familiar-
and
I
know
you
know
councilman
over
to
me,
for
sure
is-
is
that
we're?
You
know
we're
a
the
fort
neglige
neighborhood?
Is
it's
a
small
neighborhood
group?
P
It's
essentially
two
main
streets
with
the
side
streets
there
and
you
know,
we've
got
about
12,
you
know
short-term.
You
know,
you
know
non-un
occupied
units
in
this
area.
You
know,
four
of
those
have
just
you
know
were
in
the
in
the
presentation
that
mr
young
made
that
showed
up.
It
was
four
out
of
a
nine
unit
building
and,
as
also
mr
young
said,
is
that
this
this
recent
development,
which
is
19
units
you
know,
is
in
a
matter
of
three
weeks.
P
P
You
know
these
buildings
popping
up
the
multi-unit
buildings
popping
up
that
all
of
a
sudden,
we'll
add
you
know
a
lot
of
sort
of
non-owner,
short-term
occupied
units
here
and
so
we're
asking
respectfully
asking
that
you
all
deny
this
you
know,
and
since
we
submitted
the
you
know
the
the
petition
for
these
two
units,
the
one
that
was
rejected
and
the
one
that
would
draw
in
this
one
today.
You
know
we
also
had
another
one
just
arrived
next
last
week.
This
is
a
new
building
and
that
we
just
don't
you
know
we.
P
You
know,
we've
all
put
a
lot
of
heart
and
soul
in
this
neighborhood
and
we
don't
want
to
see
you
know
just
a
lot
of
you
know
short-term
rentals.
You
know
occurring
in
a
in
a
dense
environment.
I
would
think
according
to
reading
to
the
regulations.
The
fact
that
the
applicant
did
not
show
today
is
that
I
think
in
the
as
I
understand
the
the
legislation,
is
that
that's
your
reasons
for
denial.
So
yeah
we
respect
the
work.
A

I
A

Mr
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
note
for
the
record
that
we
did
receive
a
letter
today
from
the
dca
stating
that
an
agreement
has
been
reached
with
the
nonprofits
and
the
churches
that
were
in
question
about
their
fees
and
that
the
finance
committee
for
the
dca
has
agreed
to
accept
each
of
their
proposals
and
for
this
letter
indicates
that
they
will
vote
to
approve
up
at
their
next
meeting
in
october.
Thank
you.

Good
evening,
mr
chair
and
members
of
council,
we
have
two
purchase
items
this
evening
for
your
approval.
First,
starting
with
the
chattanooga
fire
department,
we
have
the
purchase
of
janitorial
services
being
awarded
to
metro
janitorial
services
incorporated
for
an
estimated
annual
cost
of
thirty
thousand
dollars,
and
next
we
have
from
the
citywide
services
division
of
public
works.
A
F
F
C
C
A
A
N
Thank
you
chair.
I
got
a
couple
of
things,
but
first
and
I
I
sent
that
message
out,
so
everybody
could
see
my
ass
and
because,
just
as
I
stated
constituents
in
the
union,
rep
is
gonna
contact
us
about
it,
and
I
can't
even
stay
off
my
text
messaging
because
they're
asking,
why
did
we
deny
employees
getting
raises
and
that's
not
what
that?
What
we
just
passed?
So
if
we
can
get
daisy
to
come
up-
and
please
explain
that
because
it
like
I
said
before-
was
kind
of
misleading
what
councilman
gilbert
was
saying.
Q
A
E
It's
it's
just
not
prudent
to
do,
because
if
you
do
that,
then
you
aren't
guaranteed
to
have
the
revenue
the
next
year
to
be
able
to
maintain
that
amount
of
money
going
into
the
into
the
next
year.
Because
of
course,
if
you
raise
someone's
wages
this
year,
you
want
to
be
able
to
maintain
that
level
of
pay
for
them
going
into
the
next
budget
year.
And
if
you
have
done
this
with
one-time
funds.
E
If
you
have
funded
that
with
one-time
funds-
and
you
aren't
sure
that
you'll
have
the
revenues
to
cover
that
the
next
year,
then
you
would
have
to
take
the
raise
away.
And
that
certainly
is
not
a
position
that
we
would
want
to
put
ourselves
or
the
or
the
employees.
And
so
that
is
why
we
did
not
fund
any
raises
2.5
percent
or
anything
like
that
with
any
reserve
funds
this
year
and
why
we
made
the
decision.
E
As
we
talked
to
you
about
in
the
budget
hearings
to
to
ensure
that
we
had
a
a
a
conservative
budget,
but
a
budget
that
kept
all
of
our
employees
employed
and
and
and
kept
all
of
our
staff
where
they
were
in
and
did
the
best
buy
our
taxpayers
so
that
we
had
a
balanced
budget
for
this
year.
I
hope
that's
all.
E
No
sir,
it
it
does
not
do
that
that
page
69
only
had
raises
for
it
was
a
draft
document,
and
it
had
raises
for
some
people
and
not
all,
and
it
had
raises
at
like
15
for
some
people
and
higher
pay
grades
in
some
units
and
2
percent
for
the
people
who
work
for
them
work
you
know
and
in
those
other
end
positions
lower
in
those
units.
It
was,
as
I
said,
it
was
a
draft
document.
E
It
was
mostly
around
the
beginnings
of
pay
ranges
and
so
looking
at
the
beginnings
of
pay
ranges
and
making
alterations
there,
so
it
and
it
did
not
affect
everyone's
pay.
It
was
only
about
500
people
within
the
organization
who
would
have
gotten
these
this
additional
dollars,
I'm
not
even
going
to
call
them
raises
or
range
alterations
or
pay
upgrades,
because
it
really
was
a
draft
document
that
just
affected
ended
up
affecting
about
500
individuals
within
our
whole
organization.
A
J
G
You,
mr
chair,
if
you
would
permit
me
to
give
a
quick
update,
we've
had
some
recent
developments
on
our
vegetation
component
and,
if
you'll
allow
mr
bridger
to
come
in
while
you're
bringing
him
in
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
publicly
thank
staff,
maura
and
carrie
for
working
with
me
and
john
bridger
of
the
rpa
to
finally
get
this
moving
in
a
direction
for
a
review
and
john.
If
you're
on
there.
You
are.
Why
don't
you
go
ahead
and
share
some
good
news
that
we
kind.
A
R
So
as
soon
as
we
get
them
started
on
the
contract,
they're
going
to
start
on
the
work,
we'll
keep
you
posted
as
progress
moves
forward
this
once
you
know
that
also
that
I'm
gonna
be
taking
a
little
a
look
at
the
costs.
As
far
as
relates
to
compliance
for
a
couple
different
sites
for
examples,
and
then
I
think
I
want
to
be
working
with
richard
bielen
who's.
A
N
I'm
done
with
that,
I'm
good
so
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
say
this
is
that
is
today
is
national
voter
registration
day
and
you
know
november.
The
3rd
is
important.
Now
we
will
never
have
the
perfect
presidential
candidate,
although
we
wish
that
we
would,
but
I
just
encourage
everybody
to
go
to
elect.hamilton10.gov
and
you
can
you
know,
register
to
vote
online.
You
can
get
your.
You
know
request
your
absentee
application
through
the
portal.
You
can
look
at
the
sample
ballot.
N
You
can
find
whoever
your
representative
is
where
you
need
to
vote
all
of
that
stuff.
So
you
will
be
prepared
if
you
vote
early
election
time
or
if
you're
going
to
go
on
november,
the
3rd,
because
we
have
some
important
issues.
That's
on
the
line.
One
is
the
criminal
justice
reform.
That's
on
the
line.
Our
judiciary
is
online
health
care.
N
You
know,
gun
control,
education,
environmental
issues,
social
programs,
a
lot
of
things
that
are
at
stake,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we,
you
know,
reading
different
legislations,
whether
you
I'm
a
you
know
a
advocate
on
every
level
for
criminal
justice
reform.
So
you
know
I
most
definitely
want
to
make
sure
we
got
the
right
president
and
officers
going
to
continue
to
move
that
forward
right
now,
I've
been
fortunate
enough
to
have
a
lot
of
my
friends.
N
That's
been
released
from
prison,
and
that
means
a
lot
to
me,
but
most
definitely
exercise
your
right
to
vote.
I'm
not
ask
telling
you
who
to
vote
for
I'm
just
simply
saying
make
sure
you
get
registered.
If
you
need
your
voting
rights
restored,
please
go
through
the
process
just
because
you
are
a
convicted
felon.
That
does
not
mean
that
you
can't
get
your
voting
rights
restored.
Please
go
through
the
process.
N
N
Yes,
I
got
a
report
from
yfd.
I
just
want
to
share
the
great
things
that
the
staff
at
the
yfd
sites
that
they
are
doing-
I
won't
mention
a
young
man
named,
but
yesterday
I
you
know,
saw
him
delivering
food
to
our
seniors,
so
we
had
a
conversation
about
it.
I
was
like
hey
what
you
doing
on
this
side
of
town
cause.
He
worked
at
a
totally
different
yfd
site,
but
that's
just
his
routine
daily.
N
He
made
sure
that
he's
reaching
out
to
our
seniors
see
if
they
need
anything
if
they're
connected
to
the
tools
and
resources
that
we
have
available
for
the
city,
he's
making
sure
that
kids
that
he
run
across
in
the
neighborhood
are
connected
to
what
virtual
programs
that
we
have
he's
helping
to
organize.
You
know
social
distances,
birthday
parties
and
different
things
like
that.
So
they're,
you
know,
and
and
in
conversation
with
him,
I
heard
it
in
his
voice
that
this
was
just.
It
was
more
than
just
a
job
for
him.
N
He
really,
you
know
he
loved
what
he
do
and
he
loves
serving
the
people.
So
I
wanted
to
share
that
in
my
committee
report.
Like
you
know
a
lot
of
times
that
we
limit
what
our
yfd
rec
specialists,
that
we
do,
or
even
the
the
yfd
sites
managers
but
they're
doing
so
much
more
to
help
our
communities
during
this
time
of
covet
that
we're
in
so
I
just
wanted
to
celebrate
them
for
that.
N
G

S
S
S
S
I
just
wanted
to
know
that
after
the
april
30th
cut
off
pretty
much.
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
there's
a
possibility
for
any
renewals
or
just
wanted
to
know,
since
we
have
been
in
the
city
of
chattanooga
working
this
entire
time,
helping
within
all
districts
and
during
the
covid,
we
also
helped
with
tornado
victims
and,
of
course,
all
the
virtue
that
comes
to
us
free
of
charge.
We
have
so
many
different
great
other
programs
and
resources
here
available.
S
We
work
closely
with
the
city
of
chattanooga
homeless
program,
we're
one
of
their
big
resources
as
well
28
different
agencies.
We
work
with
continually
including
a
family
justice
center
and
special
victims
unit.
We
helped
also
with
their
soft
rooms
where
they
interrogate
victims,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
what
kind
of
financial
backing
we
can
expect
going
forward-
and
I
know
that
there's
certain
rules
about
certain
finances
and
stuff
like
that.
S
But
I
know
that
I
just
want
to
bring
it
up
to
council's
attention,
since
I
believe
chairman
had
asked
earlier
about
discussing
the
agenda
or
the
strategic
planning
for
the
aim
center
to
be
here
at
this
property.
So
that's
the
reason
why
I'm
just
talking,
because
you
know
technically,
we
help
homeless
folks.
So
we
don't
want
to
be
a
homeless
program
ourselves
so
going
forward.
S
I
just
wanted
to
know
what
kind
of
vacuum
we
can
expect
from
the
city
since
we've
been
doing
this
for
over
ten
and
a
half
years
together
in
a
tri-venture,
of
course,
with
as
a
goodwill
program
and
a
united
way
backing
as
well.
So
I
know
that
currently
we
have
some
options
of
possibly
moving
into
district
9,
with
some
good
folks
with
the
rhino
group
that
have
offered
to
give
us
a
place
to
rent,
to
continue
to
carry
out
these
daily.
S
The
daily
help
that
we
give
to
families
in
need,
so
we
would
like
to
and
love
to
continue
that.
I
know
that
we
all
feel
very
passionate
about
non-profits
earlier,
like
council
leadford
had
spoken
about
the
tornadoes
and,
of
course
we
helped
those
victims
as
well,
so
I
just
would
like
to
know
what
we
can
expect
going
forward
in
the
future.
I
do
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
Kindly
thank.
A
Q
F
D
I
think
that
a
city
that
is
beholden
to
whether
or
not
a
city
that
is
actually
beholden
to
and
representative
of
the
people
itself
is
always
going
to
do
a
better
job
of
of
the
function
than
any
non-profit
or
any
charity
would
do
to
that
end.
I
think
that
the
workers
of
the
city
deserve
more
than
more
like
financial
support
than
they
get.
D
D
To
that
end,
I
think
that
it's
interesting
that
they're
looking
through
the
budget.
This
was
as
of
a
few
months
ago.
I
found
it
interesting
that
there
were
several
unfilled
firefighter
positions,
and
I
know
there
have
been
a
lot
of
discussions
about
why
that
is,
but
I
think
in
part
it
it
could
be
that
the
the
firefighters
could
do
with
greater
support.
I
think
I
hear
a
lot
of
language
of
doing
the
best
we
can
or
doing
what
we
have.
Q
Q
Yes,
I
do
apologize,
my
name
is
alexis
loudenslager
and
I
I
am
in
district
8..
Okay,
thank
you,
you're
welcome!
So
yes,
I
just
wanted
to
piggyback
off
of
what
danny
was
talking
about
earlier,
how
important
the
furniture
bank
is
in
our
community
and
what
we
could
expect
going
forward.
I
was
actually
a
transplant
from
memphis
to
chattanooga
a
little
over
10
years
ago,
and
I
was
helped
by
the
furniture
bank
when
I
got
here
really
long
story
short.
Q
I
ended
up
finishing
school
excuse
me
and
now
I
work
as
a
social
worker
in
the
community
and
I'm
able
to
refer
a
lot
of
clients
over
to
the
furniture
bank
and
what
they
do
and
again
I
just
wanted
to
piggyback
on
how
important
that
program
is
in
the
chattanooga
area,
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
get
on
an
agenda
somewhere.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
A
M
Mcfarland
I'm
in
district
8.,
I
have
a
short-term
vacation
rental
in
district
1
and
I'm
talking
about
the
further
restrictions
on
airbnb,
I
tried
to
email,
miss
coonrod.
I
did
not
get
a
reply
back
just
kind
of
trying
to
figure
out
more
of
what
the
article
kind
of
meant
when
it
was,
you
know,
trying
to
protect
the
city's
affordable
housing
stock.
M
I
also
just
wanted
to
kind
of
give
you
guys,
I'm
sure
that
you
guys
know,
but
I
want
to
reiterate
before
you
go
into
voting
what
and
we'll
just
talk
for
about
airbnb
in
this
matter.
So
in
chattanooga
there
are
currently
647
listings.
The
occupancy
rate
for
those
listings
in
the
month
of
july
was
87.
M
M
You
know
again,
I
don't
know
what
you
guys
know
and
don't
know
about
airbnb.
I
would
encourage
you
to
go
into
chattanooga
and
look
to
stay
at
an
airbnb
yourself.
What
you'll
see
is
you'll,
see
well
taking
care
of
properties.
Very
immaculate
everything
is
based
off
of
ratings
and
stars,
and
the
truth
is,
is,
if
you
don't
give
a
quality
product
to
your
guests,
they're
going
to
give
you
a
low
star
and
you
will
not
be
in
the
short
vacation
business.
M
So
when,
when
there's
articles,
you
know
where
it
says
what
that
there's
blocks
with
houses
sitting
idle.
The
truth
is,
is
that
that's
not
the
case
and
then,
where
there's
like
tall
grass,
if
I,
if
I
had
tall
grass
or
any
other
short-term
vacation
rental,
that's
going
to
warrant
a
negative
review
and
therefore
you're
not
going
to
be
in
business.
So
everybody
that's
running
a
short-term
vacation.
Rental
is
obviously
maybe
there's
a
couple
bad
apples,
but
they're
running
it
as
their
livelihood
and
thinking.
M
Well,
my
my
vacation
rental
is
probably
better
taken
care
of
than
my
personal
home.
You
know
I've
got
house
cleaners
in
it
three
four
times
a
week.
I've
got
maintenance
guys
over
there.
Long
landscaping
and
lawn
care
well
well
taken
care
of,
and
I
believe
if
you
were
to
pull
up
listings,
you
would
see
that
that
they're,
not
vacant,
distressed
properties
that
are
sitting
idle
in
neighborhoods.
M
I
do
understand
from
the
conversation
earlier
of
an
apartment
building,
that's
trying
to
like
go
50
occupied
with
short-term
vacation,
rentals
yeah
multi-family
that
that's
probably
a
different
conversation,
but
as
for
a
single
family
residents,
you
know
the
truth
is:
is
the
the
policies
that
are
arguably
already
in
place
where
they
have
to
post
a
sign?
And
then
the
neighbors
can
complain
like
that's
already
a
great
policy,
and-
and
you
know,
I
would
expect
that
a
short-term
vacation
rail
is
going
to
talk
to
their
neighbors.
A
N
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
address
matt
matt,
I'm
not
sure
if
you're
aware
that
I'm
a
council
person
that
I
have
a
family
that
I
have
to
take
care
of,
so
I
work
a
full-time
job
as
well
as
serve
on
the
council.
So
I
may
not
give
you
an
immediate
response,
but
you
will
get
a
response
and
tools
are
our
council
day.
So
when
I'm
getting
off
work,
they'll
come
to
council
like
we
have
several
meetings
that
we
have
to
attend.
N
So
it's
not
that
I
was
trying
to
ignore
your
email
or
anything
like
that.
But
since
you
popped
in
your
question
about
was
housing.
Stock
housing
stock
is
the
number
of
houses
that
we
have
in
a
given
area
and
if
we
have
those
housing
options
removed
off
a
short
term,
vacation
rental,
we're
saying
I'm
simply
saying:
let's
add
those
back
into
the
equation,
so
people
can
rent
housing
long
term.
That's
that's
what
I
meant
by
that,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
your
concern.
