Description
Chattanooga City Council Meeting - 3/21/23
A
A
If
you
are
standing
up
and
you
do
not
have
a
seat
you
will
have
to
leave,
the
room
you'll
have
to
go
out
into
the
lobby
does
not
mean
you
cannot
speak
tonight,
but
we
have
a
fire
limit
code
and
that
we
are
above
that,
and
we
are
now
in
a
dangerous
situation
and
if
anything
were
to
happen-
and
we
did
not
do
this-
that
would
be
a
very
bad
thing.
So
if
you
do
not
have
a
seat,
I
need
you
to
go
out
into
the
lobby.
Please.
B
B
D
E
D
A
Thank
you,
members
of
council,
mayor
Kelly,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
all
these
great
people
who
showed
up
for
this
special
presentation.
Yeah
I,
want
to
share
a
story
with
you
about
human
kindness,
but
going
above
and
beyond,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
our
Fire
Department
chief
Hyman.
How
many
firefighters
do
we
have
that
were
on
the
scene?
March?
A
A
A
Her
daughter
was
having
a
baby
right
then,
and
there
miss
Haynes,
sprung
into
action
matter
of
fact,
Miss
Haynes
will
you
come
up
and
join
us?
Please,
because
we'd
like
to
see
you
a
trained
midwife,
she
ran
to
the
car,
pulled
open
the
door
to
an
in-labor
mother
to
a
baby
that
was
already
crowning.
Now,
that's
the
part
where
I
start
screaming,
but
Randy
with
no
time
to
wait
for
an
ambulance.
Coached.
The
mother,
through
Labor,
delivered
a
baby
girl
right
there
on
Broad
Street.
A
This
is
such
an
incredible
example
of
the
extraordinary
ordinary
way
that
chattanoogans
care
for
each
other.
In
times
of
crisis.
It
didn't
matter
that
this
woman
was
a
stranger
and
that
Miss
Haynes
had
nowhere
had
somewhere
to
be
or
something
it
could
have
gone
wrong.
That
might
have
put
her
at
risk.
Miss
Haynes,
sprung
into
action,
and
for
that
mother
and
new
baby
girl
we're
happy
and
healthy,
and
you
brought
a
wonderful
new
life
into
this
world
because
Haynes
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
Thank
you
for
your
heroic
service.
A
A
And
I'd
like
to
ask
Mary
Kelly
to
work
with
me
on
work.
Reading
the
proclamation
whereas
Randy
Haynes
is
the
operations
manager
for
the
downtown
Chattanooga,
Alliance,
non-profit
organization
that
keeps
downtown
Chattanooga,
safe,
clean
and
welcoming
for
all
whose
staff
serve
as
ambassadors
for
the
city
and
whereas
on
March
10th
at
10,
A.M
Miss
Haynes
was
outside
her
office
preparing
her
team
for
cleanup
efforts
expected
to
commence
after
an
expected.
Storm
cleared
the
area
and
whereas
Ms
Haynes,
who
was
also
an
experienced
Midwife,
suddenly
heard
a
frantic
voice.
A
Call
for
help
from
a
nearby
car
and
upon
investigation
discovered
that
the
voice
belonged
to
a
woman
who
was
in
the
final
stage
of
Labor
and
given
the
circumstances
would
be
unable
to
make
it
to
the
hospital
in
time
for
the
birth
and
whereas
Miss
Haynes
introduced
herself
received
permission
from
the
mother
to
help
and
guided
the
mother
through
the
delivery
process
and
after
the
delivery
provided.
A
sternum
rub
to
stimulate
the
baby's
breathing
process
then
place
the
healthy
baby
girl
on
her
mother's
chest.
Here.
F
Let
her
teams
clean
up
efforts,
including
reporting,
Fallen
traffic
lights,
removing
debris
and
preparing
for
the
upcoming
Chattanooga
marathon
and
whereas
Haynes
demonstrated
responsible
and
heroic
leadership
in
the
face
of
multiple
crises,
showing
dedication
and
pride
in
her
work
and
should
be
recognized
for
going
above
and
beyond
the
Call
of
Duty,
serving
as
an
example
that
all
chattanoogan
should
follow.
Now.
Therefore,
I
Tim
Kelly,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Chattanooga
and
the
Chattanooga
city
council,
do
hereby
Proclaim
Wednesday
March
22nd
2023.
As
Randy
Haynes
said,
yeah.
G
A
H
I
It's
hard
to
follow
that
one
up
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
hosting
me
tonight.
This
is
an
absolute
honor
and
just
amazing
I'm
still
in
disbelief.
Honestly
I
also
want
to
thank
my
dad
who's
in
the
crowd
for
raising
me
to
be
courageous
and
to
love.
My
neighbor
I
want
to
thank
my
daughters
without
the
two
of
you.
I
would
have
never
found.
Midwifery
I
want
to
thank
Steve,
Brooks,
our
executive
director
and
my
team,
who
is
out
there
waiting
for
me
in
the
hallway.
I
You
guys
are
absolutely
phenomenal
and
we
get
into
all
kinds
of
crazy
things,
and
now
we
got
a
reward
for
it
right.
But,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
want
you
to
know
these
are
your
real
heroes,
your
everyday
Heroes
out,
making
downtown
Chattanooga
a
desirable
place
to
be
work
play
live
so
I
really
appreciate
you
guys.
Thank
you
again.
I
hope
this
story
really
speaks
to
community,
and
everyone
knows
that
you
walk
around
Heroes
every
single
day
and
you're
a
hero
within
yourself,
Randy.
A
Crew
in
real,
quick,

quick
to
say
hi
to
your
DCA
crew,
our
firefighters
and
if
we
could
get
up
come

and
then,
if
you
are
a
family
member
or
with
Miss
Haynes,
will
you
please
send
I
got
to
talk
to
these
fabulous
young?
Ladies
right
here,
I
tell
you
what
they
are

I
know
where
you
get
it
from
now.
You
got
a
great
great
mom.
There
come
on
come
on
in
come
on
in.
J
A
A
Okay,
our
lesson
this
evening,
beer,
Randy
I
like
it
our
next
list
items
for
this
evening
is
a
special
presentation-
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
Chattanooga
climate
action
plan.
The
council
had
originally
noticed
that
we
would
set
30
minutes.
We
may
need
a
little
more
time
and
two
minutes
per
speaker
which
we
will
adhere
to
so
at
this
time,
I
will
open
the
public
hearing
for
the
Chattanooga
climate
action
plan,
pay
attention
real
closely.
Here's
what
I
need
you
to
do.
A
There's
a
lot
of
people
here,
our
Clerk
and
we
have
also
folks
recording
in
the
back,
are
taking
very
special
notes.
We
need
to
hear
your
name
clearly
what
district
of
the
city
you
live
in
or
your
address
where
you
live,
that's
very
important
for
our
record,
keeping
as
we
move
forward
in
this
process.
This
is
part
of
the
public
hearing
process.
A
So
if
you
would
like
to
speak,
which
I
anticipate,
there
will
be
one
or
two
of
you,
then
please
start
to
line
up
and
then,
as
we
start
to
filter
through,
we
will
start
to
pull
folks
from
the
lobby
so
that
everyone
has
an
opportunity
to
speak
Mr
it.
We
will
put
two
minutes
on
the
timer
for
each
speaker,
remember
your
name
and
your
address
and
what
city
district
you
live
in.
A
A
Let's
see
where
the
council
council
do.
You
want
to
see
where
we're
at
in
30
minutes
all
in
favor,
say:
aye,
aye,
okay,
that's
where
we're
going
to
see
we're
at
all
right
we're
going
to
start
this
off.
It
is
6
15.,
6
45.
We
will
take
another
look
at
this.
Yes
ma'am!
Please
go
ahead
and
we
have
two
minutes
on
the
timer.
Please
Mister
good.
M
Evening,
I'm,
Carol,
eimers,
I'm,
regional
vice
president
for
the
Tennessee
Valley
Authority,
so
I'm
here
representing
TVA
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
comments
on
the
mayor's
climate
action
plan.
Tva
was
established
90
years
ago
to
serve
this
region
and
the
nation
by
developing
innovative
solutions
to
solve
complex
problems
that
same
purpose
guides
our
work.
Today
we
recognize
the
need
for
affordable,
reliable,
resilient
and
clean
energy.
M
We
also
recognize
that
there
is
no
one
answer
to
achieving
the
nation's
decarbonization
goals,
which
is
why
why
we
are
committed
to
developing
all
potential
Pathways
to
a
clean
energy
future.
Recently,
TVA
announced
a
valley
pathway
study
that
will
look
at
all
segments
of
the
valley
economy
and
identify
ways.
Everyone
not
just
TVA
and
the
power
industry
can
drive
toward
a
sustainable,
clean
economy.
M
We
know
this
effort
is
broader
than
TBA,
which
is
why
we
are
supportive
of
the
mayor's
climate
action
plan
and
look
forward
to
working
side
by
side
to
help
improve
Chattanooga's
quality
of
life
and
enable
Smart,
clean
and
sustainable
growth
that
benefits
all
cities.
All
members
of
the
of
the
city.
We
appreciate
your
leadership.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you
together
on
this
important
effort
and
thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
Thank
you.
J
Justin
greinert
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
public
policy
at
the
Chattanooga
Chamber.
My
address
is
23
Bellflower
Circle
in
Chattanooga.
There's
a
lot
to
this
plan
that
falls
within
the
chambers,
Economic,
Development
and
quality
of
place
efforts.
We
are
certainly
supportive
of
of
what
the
the
mayor
is
trying
to
do.
Two
key
areas
here
that
I
think
are
of
importance
to
the
business
Community
here
in
Chattanooga.
J
Obviously,
with
the
geographic
region
that
we
sit
in
more
roads
are
not
necessarily
the
answer,
so
we
have
to
be
creative
in
how
we
get
from
point
A
to
point
B
and
I
think
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
we
look
at
Carta
and
other
strategic
Transportation
Systems
throughout
our
city
to
get
Workers
to
where
the
jobs
are
in
our
community.
I
think
the
other
big
piece
obviously
is
growing.
J
The
local
economy
and
one
of
the
key
areas
that
Tennessee
and
Chattanooga
specifically
is
in
line
to
lead
on
is
the
electric
vehicle
movement.
You
look
at
companies
like
novonix
that
will
be
helpful
in
the
battery
space.
You
look
at
Volkswagen
their
efforts
in
id4.
You
look
at
around
the
state
of
Tennessee,
obviously
with
blue
oval
City,
the
Nissan
plant
that's
going
in
as
well.
J
This
is
a
real
opportunity
for
Chattanooga
to
lead
and
we
think
that
that
preparing
for
these
jobs
and
the
Green
Technology
and
energy
sector
are
critically
important
and
Chattanooga
needs
to
be
the
example
to
that.
When
we
pulled
our
members,
69
percent
said
that
the
city
needs
to
invest
more
in
electric
charging
stations,
to
be
an
example
for
the
rest
of
of
the
state
in
this
region.
J
N
N
I,
am
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
mayor's
plan.
Epb
leadership
has
reviewed
cap
goals
and
is
happy
to
support
the
city's
plan.
As
you
know,
epb's
mission
is
to
enhance
our
community's
quality
of
life
and
support
economic
growth
and
our
day-to-day
work.
We
are
interacting
with
a
growing
number
of
local
companies
and
recruitment
prospects
that
are
highly
focused
on
the
long-term
value
of
resiliency
and
other
elements
of
this
plan,
which
help
ensure
the
continuing
sustainability
of
their
day-to-day
operations
in
support
of
their
growth
and
the
quality
of
life
of
everyone
in
our
community.
N
After
a
thorough
review
of
this
plan,
we
have
determined
that
It
ultimately
preserves
and
strengthens
the
things
that
we
love
about
this
city,
while
It
prepares
us
for
the
future,
a
future
that
is
healthier,
safer
and
more
prosperous
for
everyone
in
our
city,
the
city's
plan
Builds
on
an
established
track
record
of
pursuing
thoughtful
opportunities
for
development
and
job
growth.
We
support
these
goals
in
alignment
with
our
own
mission
to
increase
the
quality
of
life
for
this
community.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
O
A
O
O
I
think
it's
great
I
think
it
really
is
in
line
with
so
much
of
who
Chattanooga
has
been,
but
I'm
really
here
to
support,
Chattanooga
and
who
we
can
become
and
who
we
need
to
continue
to
become,
and
so,
as
we
think,
through
the
Innovative
and
exciting
tools
that
we
need
to
bring
to
bear
to
do
a
full
restoration
and
Redevelopment
of
the
Tivoli
Theater.
So
much
of
what
this
climate
action
plan
is
going
to
make
happen
will
help
us
do
that.
Not
only
that
I
can
also
put
on
I.
O
Think
some
of
these
council
members
remember
when
I
used
to
be
the
director
of
the
office
of
Economic
Development
and
we
created
thousands
and
thousands
of
jobs.
This
climate
action
plan
will
do
a
lot
to
bring
Economic
Development,
we'll
create
good
livable
jobs
for
our
community
and
we'll
really
kind
of
cement
us
as
one
of
the
most
sustainable
I,
think
forward-thinking
cities
in
the
country.
So
we're
happy
to
propose
it.
I
have
to
run,
we've
got
Buddy
Guy
at
Memorial
Auditorium.
O
P
Hi,
my
name
is
Jim
Johnson
of
District
2,
1638,
Berkeley
Circle,
here
in
Chattanooga,
no
special
affiliations,
just
a
an
interested
concerned,
Citizen
and
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
the
climate
action
plan,
I,
don't
think
I'm
actually
being
overly
dramatic
when
I
say
that
the
execution
of
this
plan
has
the
strong
potential
of
being
one
of
the
most
positively
impactful
and
Lasting
legacies
of
this
Council
and
of
this
mayor,
and
it's
really
sort
of
a
perfect
storm
as
well.
I
have
a
lot
of
people
in
favor
of
it.
P
On
the
council,
I
have
a
mayor
who's
in
favor
of
it.
We
have
a
regional
planning
agency
that
you
know
has
what
I
feel
is
a
very
strong
and
positive
sense
of
direction.
This
Federal
funding
that's
available.
That
may
never
be
available
again,
so
it's
sort
of
a
a
perfect
storm
of
opportunities
when
I
first
moved
here
about
23
years
ago.
P
For
the
community
in
recent
years,
I've
heard
that
the
Chattanooga
way
has
taken
on
it
taken
on
negative
connotations
in
part,
because
some
of
the
city's
most
high
profile
accomplishments
did
not
benefit
everyone
equally
and
were
in
fact
exclusionary
in
some
cases,
and
that's
another
reason
why
this
plan
excites
me
because
I
think
it's
it
really
focuses
on
equity
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
transform
back
in
a
good
way
to
what
we
have
meant
by
the
Chattanooga
way
and
I.
P
Q
Glenda
Papu
I
actually
live
in
Hamilton
County,
not
in
the
city,
but
I
do
go
to
church
here
and
attend
many
functions
here
in
the
city
in
2019
Chattanooga
under
mayor
Andy
Burke
signed
up
with
the
world
economic
Forum
G20
Global,
smart
cities
Alliance
to
become
one
of
the
first
36
worldwide
cities
to
become
a
smart
surveillance,
monitoring
analysis,
reporting,
Technology
city,
just
in
Chattanooga,
just
type
in
Chattanooga.
On
the
website.
For
the
past
four
years,
Chattanooga
has
been
operating
under
the
regulations
of
a
world
organization.
Where
is
the
consent
of
the
government?
Q
The
plan
is
packed
with
administrative
power
overreach
without
the
consent
of
the
people
on
page
10
of
the
climate
action
plan,
which
is
based
solely
on
political
Theory,
not
true
science.
It
states,
mayor
Littlefield
in
2012,
issued
an
executive
order
to
identify
additional
goals
pursuant
to
his
assigning
of
the
U.S
Conference
of
the
mayor's
climate
protection
agreement
and
his
appointment
of
a
14-member
green
Commission
in
2017.
Where
is
the
consent
of
the
people?
Q
Furthermore,
Andy
Burke
signed
on
to
the
U.S
department
of
Energy's,
better
building
challenge,
which
sounds
like
a
communist
model
built
back
better
committing
to
the
city
to
reduce
its
energy
use
intensity,
a
minimum
of
20
by
2025,
and
our
population
has
grown
by
14
percent
how's
that
possible.
We
are
partnering
with
and
are
responsible
to
report
back
to
an
unconstitutional
federal
government,
bureaucratic
organization,
that's
no
accountability
to
voters
or
the
taxpayers
where's
the
consent
of
the
people
who
is
paying
for
this.
Q
We
know
the
federal
government
has
funded
much
of
the
installation
of
the
cameras
in
Chattanooga.
Every
dime
coming
from
D.C
has
Rings
attached.
Who
really
is
in
charge
of
our
city
and
our
County
D.C
World
economic
Forum.
It
certainly
is
not
the
taxpayers
We
the
People.
This
plan
must
be
put
on
a
referendum
for
all
Hamilton
County
to
intelligently
make
a
decision
on
whether
to
move
forward
with
this
Global
one-world
plan
that
will
eventually
enslave
us
into
a
digital
concentration
camp
foreign.
R
Good
evening
my
name
is
Ethan
Collier
and
I'm,
a
builder
I'm,
a
developer
I'm,
a
businessman
I
have
the
great
honor
of
chairing
our
Hamilton
County
Chattanooga
Regional
Planning
Commission
I
serve
on
multiple
non-profits
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
district
one.
One
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
review
the
plan
and
I'm
a
builder
developer
and
a
planner
telling
you
I
think
the
plan
is
a
fantastic
idea:
I
I
own
a
company
that
builds
houses
and
develops
land,
and
you
know
our
our
company
really
got
its
start
doing.
R
Green
Building
we
built
Chattanooga's
first
lead
Platinum
houses.
We
built
Chattanooga's.
First
lead
Platinum
commercial
projects,
we're
building
EarthCraft
developments.
We
got
all
sorts
of
State
national
recognition
for
redevelopment
of
brownfields,
and
you
know
sometimes
people
will
ask
me
why
we
do
what
we
do
and
I
tell
them.
It's
because
I
think
my
job
here
on
this
planet
is
to
truly
care
for
my
neighbor
Randy
said
earlier
that
her
dad
taught
her
how
to
love
her
neighbor
as
herself
and
I.
R
You
know
the
the
environment
seriously
and
I
think
this
plan
is
our
city
doing
the
same
thing
that
my
business
has
chosen
to
do,
which
is
just
good
business
sense.
It's
it's
how
we
remain
relevant,
it's
how
we
love
our
neighbor
as
ourself.
It's
how
we
truly
care
for
the
environment
and
the
people
around
us
is
to
put
a
plan
like
this
in
place
and
so
I'm
in
full
support
of
the
mayor's
plan.
Thank
you.
S
Yeah
hello,
my
name
is
Rick
Walser
I'm
in
District
Four,
my
wife
and
I
moved
from
Long
Beach
California
to
Chattanooga
last
June
and
are
still
learning
about
the
city.
I
reviewed
the
climate
action
plan
and
learned
this
climate
initiative
has
never
been
voted
on
by
the
citizens.
2006
mayor,
Littlefield
signed
U.S
Conference
of
mayor's
climate
protection
agreement,
no
vote
by
the
citizens.
2012
Littlefield
signed
an
executive
order,
no
vote
by
the
citizens.
2015
mayor,
Burke,
signed
on
to
the
usdoe
better
buildings
challenge
again
no
vote
by
the
citizens.
S
2019
Chattanooga,
Green
Space
is
prepared
an
integrated,
Community
sustainability
plan
with
the
input
from
100
people.
We
have
a
population
of
a
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand.
How
were
the
one
hundred
chosen?
How
can
one
hundred
unelected
people
represent
a
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand?
Also
the
plan
was
funded
by
the
candida
fund,
who
does
not
support
the
Second.
Amendment
funding
always
has
strings
attached
again
no
vote
by
the
citizens.
2020..
S
The
regional
resilience
report
was
prepared
input
from
Chattanooga
leaders,
stakeholders
and
surrounding
jurisdictions
again
no
vote
by
the
citizens.
2023
mayor
Kelly
is
now
transitioning
to
the
usdoe
better
climate
challenge,
again
no
vote
by
the
citizens.
Today
we
are
providing
our
comments
before
you
vote
next
week,
again,
no
vote
by
the
citizens.
Why
are
there
no
town
halls
with
our
council
members?
Why
only
limited
comments
the
week
before
you
vote?
Will
our
comments
be
incorporated
into
this
plan?
S
T
As
you
heard
from
my
husband,
my
name
is
Harriet
Reed
and
I.
Just
moved
here
also
from
California
can
I
I'm
sorry
at
read.
Fourth
district,
my
fam,
my
former
State
of
California,
is
really
big
on
alternative
energy
sources.
I'm
sure
this
is
due
to
the
fact
that
the
government
there
believes
in
the
religion
of
global
warming
or
the
climate
change
or
whatever
they're
calling
it
now,
since
they
couldn't
improve
the
global
warming.
T
But
so
we
have
an
unproven
problem
called
climate
change
with
an
unproven
solution
called
alternative
energy
that
will
supposedly
decrease
our
carbon
footprint.
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
and
other
chattanoogans
about
how
that's
worked.
In
California,
we
have
utility
companies
that
use
maintenance
budgets
to
put
up,
windmills
and
solar
panels.
Instead
of
ensuring
their
infrastructure
was
safe
and
efficient.
The
result
was
forest
fires
where
people
lost
their
homes
and
businesses.
The
windmills
are
not
only
incredibly
ugly.
T
Half
of
them
don't
actually
turn
they're
very
effective
at
killing
birds,
not
so
great,
with
keeping
up
with
the
energy
needs
of
the
state.
We
have
energy
alerts
that
tell
the
electric
vehicle
owners
not
to
charge
them,
because
it's
a
strain
on
the
electrical
grid.
We
have
brownouts
up
and
down
the
state
that
cuts
your
power
off
for
hours
at
a
time,
even
if
you're
in
the
desert
and
it's
120
degrees.
Also
alternative
energy
is
made
from
fossil
fuels
and
the
disposal
of
it
is
not
Earth
friendly.
T
If
that's
the
goal,
people
in
my
former
neighborhood
in
Long
Beach,
which
is
Southern
California,
had
heating
bills
this
winter,
that
average
between
four
and
eight
hundred
dollars,
some
higher
I'm
sure
you
mean
well,
but
I-
think
every
citizen
here
should
be
educated
on
what
this
climate
action
plan
is
how
it
leads
to
the
next
step
of
a
smart
city
and
then
vote
on
it
in
maybe
in
the
2024
election
I.
Don't
understand
why
we're
introducing
all
this
diversity
and
Equity
into
a
climate
plan?
Does
it
rain
more
where
minorities
live?
T
A
B
I
just
wanted
to
bring
a
point
of
order.
We
understand
that
people
are
passionate
about
this
topic
and
that's
fine,
because
we're
all
passionate
about
something.
But
as
people
are
speaking,
we
ask
that
you,
if
you
can,
please
refine
refrain
from
clapping,
because
we
are
listening,
and
we
want
to
hear
you.
But
it's
hard
to
hear
when,
in
the
middle
of
a
sentence,
someone
is
clapping
or
someone
is
yelling,
and
you
want
your
voice
to
be
heard.
That's
why
you're
here!
B
So,
if
you're
here,
you
want
your
voice
heard
please,
if
you're
out
in
the
audience,
please
give
people
the
respect
they
deserve
and
let
them
finish
their
statements
without
without
a
lot
of
clapping
and
hollering,
because
we
can't
we
can't
hear
here
this
isn't
a
form.
This
isn't
time
for
I'm,
not
taking
any
questions
or
anything
about
it.
I'm
just
saying,
if
someone's
up
here
speaking,
let
us
hear
them
because
we
do
want
to
hear
you.
B
We
do
want
to
hear
because
we
are
because
we
are
elected
officials,
so
we're
just
asking
that
if
you're
in
the
audience,
please
give
the
person
at
the
mic
respect
and
give
us
that
respect.
So
we
can
hear
what
they
have
to
say,
because
what
they're
saying
is
just
as
important
as
what
you
have
to
say.
U
A
V
Do
you
want
to
turn
the
okay?
Yes,
ma'am
Jamie
Hall
I
am
a
County
resident,
but
I
am
in
the
city
quite
a
bit
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
many
friends
and
family
who
are
part
of
the
city.
The
voices
we've
heard
so
far
that
are
in
favor
of
this
plan
stand
to
gain
business
and
more
money
for
themselves
or
the
big
businesses
that
they
represent.
V
V
It
is
my
understanding
that
Chattanooga
has
chosen,
or
is
considering
planning
next
to
write
out
the
description
of
this
plan,
who
has
just
done
something
in
Knoxville
and
here
is
their
some
of
the
points
that
they've
written
out
provide
transportation
choices
for
all
citizens.
Citizens
need
to
be
able
to
choose
between
driving,
walking
biking,
Mass
travel.
We
also
need
to
be
able
to
reduce
the
length
of
trips,
so
that's
control
by
locating
basic
shopping
and
services
in
or
near
neighborhoods.
V
We
want
to
mixed
use.
Development
should
be
located
along
many
Transit
corridors,
neighborhoods
should
be
pedestrian
oriented,
not
Auto
dependent
traffic.
Calming
measures
will
discourage
excessive
speed
and
heavy
traffic
traffic
volumes,
which
sounds
good,
but
there's
a
there's.
A
heaviness
to
that
more
interconnecting
streets
and
fewer
cul-de-sacs
will
minimize
travel
and
reduce
air
pollution
by
permitting
more
trips
to
be
made
by
foot
and
on
bike.
However,
cul-de-sacs
is
what
a
lot
of
people
with
children
look
for
for
safety.
V
One
characteristic
of
sprawl
development
is
that
it
is
unstructured
and
alternative
to
recognize
that
the
basic
building
block
of
a
city,
county
or
region
is
the
neighborhood
neighborhoods
structured
into
coherent
communities
and
tied
together
by
Special
Districts
and
corridors
they're.
Examples
and
principles
for
these
are
a
neighborhood
should
be
laid
out
in
convenience
in
mind
having
schools,
Park
shopping
areas,
restaurants
and
employment,
centers
nearby,
putting
us
all
in
one
little
box.
W
This
plan,
I
think
that
it
needs
to
be
up
to
the
citizens
to
have
a
vote
on
us
to
talk
about
it.
Get
that
information
out
we're
waking
up
more
and
more
and
learning
more
of
what
this
plan
is
all
about
and
I
think
the
citizens
really
need
to
have
a
say,
and
that
goes
for
the
entire
County,
because
it
involves
us
all
as
part
of
the
Metropolitan
statistical
area.
W
The
batteries
that
you're
going
to
use
for
the
electric
vehicles
make
us
dependent
on
mines
in
other
countries
a
lot
of
the
Chinese
own.
A
lot
of
those
mines,
so
those
lithium
batteries,
that's
an
issue
and
I'm
also
hearing
that
in
a
lot
of
cities
that
depend
on
the
electric
vehicles,
you
know
the
price
of
electricity
is
going
up.
So
then
they're
also
limiting
the
amount
of
charging
I'm
hearing
out
in
California
that
they're,
allowing
on
there.
That
just
depends.
W
It
puts
us
really
dependent
on
electricity
for
everything
and
when
the
brownouts
happen
there,
you
go
you're,
not
able
to
go
anywhere
so
I
love
the
tourism
here
love
all
of
this,
but
we
don't
need
to
sell
out
our
soul
to
these
big
corporations,
the
federal
government
and
the
world
economic
Forum,
the
world
economic
Forum.
That
has
come
up
with
this
plan
for
us
with
about,
because
of
the
climate
change
that
we're
going
to
owe
nothing
and
be
happy
that
we're
going
to
eat
bugs
I
mean
we've
seen
this
before
in
history.
W
You
know
when
we've
had
slave
masters.
This
is
something
that
we
have
a
chance.
You
will
have
a
chance
to
say
no
to
this.
Put
this
before
the
people.
Let
them
vote
on
it,
get
the
real
information
out
there.
The
pros
and
the
cons
and
let
the
people
decide,
but
it
you
know
let
them
have
a
voice.
That's
all.
Thank
you.

Good
evening
my
name
is
Melanie.
Mayo
I
live
at
1817,
Rock,
Bluff
Road,
it's
in
the
county
of
the
city,
I
work
in
the
city
and
I'm
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
several
organizations
involved
in
local
food
and
agriculture,
including
the
southeast
Tennessee
young,
Farmers
Association,
and
the
Chattanooga
Food
Center
among
among
others.
We
submitted
an
email
letter
of
response
to
the
climate
action
plan
to
each
council
member
tonight.
Y
During
the
span
of
this
plan,
we
would
like
to
see
additional
language
that
supports
not
only
Urban
farms
and
Community
Gardens
within
the
city
limits,
but
also
environmentally
sound
food
production
in
our
region,
as
we
saw
during
the
pandemic,
the
national
food
supply
chain
is
more
fragile
than
previously
realized,
and
a
local
food
system
is
more
resistant
to
these
disruptions.
Here
are
a
few
strategies
that
would
enhance
the
current
climate
action
plan.
Z
Good
evening,
Council
people
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
each
of
you
for
your
commitment
to
our
city
and
the
communities
that
you
were
like
to
serve.
My
name
is
Ali
bukema
and
I'm
in
just
reside
in
District
Two,
Jenny,
Hills
district
I
am
a
nutritional
therapy
practitioner
and
a
master
of
Public
Health
candidate
at
the
University
of
Tennessee,
at
Chattanooga,
with
a
concentration
in
chronic
disease
prevention
and
control.
I'm
here
tonight
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
University's
mph
program
and
the
Tennessee
Public
Health
Association.
Z
We
are
fully
in
support
of
the
come
action
plan.
As
noted
in
mayor
Kelly's
One
Chattanooga
plan
National
research
shows
that
Chattanooga
is
one
of
the
worst
cities
in
America
to
grow
up
poor
outcomes
for
families
who
start
behind
but
are
willing
to
put
in
the
work
lag
behind
our
regional
peers.
Similarly,
sized
cities
and
even
our
neighboring
counties,
the
healthiest
community
in
Tennessee
Lookout
Mountain,
sits
just
a
half
mile
above
Alton
Park's
neighborhood,
with
the
second
worst
Health
outcomes
in
the
state.
Z
So
it's
no
surprise
that
closing
the
gaps
in
public
health
is
one
of
the
seven
goals
in
mayor
Kelly's,
One
Chattanooga
plan.
We
believe
that
this
this
important
goal
should
be
directly
reflected
in
the
city's
climate
action
plan
as
well.
The
American
Public
Health
Association
ranks,
climate
change
is
one
of
the
greatest
threats
to
Health.
America
has
ever
faced
a
true
Public
Health
Emergency,
prioritizing
Public
Health
as
a
standalone
goal,
provides
the
opportunity
to
consolidate
existing
health-related
strategies
and
actions
into
one
component
that
highlights
the
importance
of
climate
on
the
community's
health.
Z
To
accomplish
this,
we
recommend
the
city
of
Chattanooga
at
a
seventh
goal
that
aligns
with
Associated
actions
already
in
the
plan.
Chattanooga
will
protect
and
improve
the
health
of
all
residents,
as
it
relates
to
climate
change,
apply,
Public
Health
principles
across
strategies
and
actions
of
the
climate
plan,
develop
and
Implement
Community
resilience
and
response
plans
for
at-risk
populations
to
address
flooding,
extreme
heat
and
maintain
healthy,
affordable,
sustainable
Equitable

Good
evening
my
name
is
Pat
Smith.
My
address
is
8499
Cherry
Bark
Lane
in
Ottawa
I
am
speaking
tonight
as
chairperson
for
the
deconstruction
Advisory
board
for
Chattanooga
and
Hamilton
County
and
I
began
forming
this
board
in
2021,
because
I
saw
a
need
and
I
knew
I
could
help.
We
had
our
first
organizational
meeting
in
October
of
2022
now
deconstruction
if
you're
not
familiar
with
the
term
deconstruction.
Is
the
careful
and
systematic
disassembly
of
a
building
to
recover
the
materials
for
reuse,
therefore
maximizing
their
environmental,
their
economical
and
their
cultural
value?
AA
Back
to
our
community
I
moved
here
in
the
Chattanooga
area
in
2019
retiring
from
working
over
30
years
in
the
building
industry
in
Indiana,
because
of
my
long-term
commitment
to
Affordable
and
sustainable
housing
in
2010,
I
took
deconstruction
training
from
the
ReUse
people
of
America
based
out
of
California.
Now
the
deconstruction
Advisory
Board
of
Chattanooga
Hamilton
County
is
dedicated
to
ensuring
that
Chattanooga
has
the
necessary
tools
and
the
necessary
education
to
reach
their
zero
waste
goals
in
the
climate
action
plan.
AA
In
consideration
of
this
plan,
I
ask
you
to
remember
that
we
did
not
inherit
this
land
that
we're
setting
on
here
tonight
from
our
ancestors
who,
boldly
and
bravely
fought
for
it.
We
are
only
borrowing
it
from
our
children
and
our
grandchildren,
we're
borrowing
it
from
the
little
girl
who
was
born
on
Broad
Street.
AA
AB
Hello,
my
name
is
Rachel
Campbell
and
my
family
and
I
live
in
City,
District
3
and
we
own
a
small
subcontracting
company.
Here
we
heartily
support
the
climate
action
plan.
This
is
a
bold
Innovative
plan
that
will
reduce
our
carbon
footprint
and
secure
a
cleaner
environment
for
our
City's.
Future
Chattanooga
is
a
gem,
a
city
where
we
not
only
welcome
technological
innovation
and
investment,
but
climate
Innovation
and
investment,
and
we
can
be
proud
to
have
a
mayor,
a
council
and
an
Administration
that
is
willing
to
put
a
plan
in
place
to
secure
environmental
justice.
AB
We
have
an
opportunity
to
move
away
from
our
past
of
our
history
of
being
the
dirtiest
City
in
the
South
to
secure
a
city
that
we
can
be
proud
of
in
a
community
that
our
children
and
their
children
can
live,
work
play
and
breathe
in
our
beautiful
lakes
and
rivers.
Our
mountains
and
valleys
cannot
clean
them
and
care
for
themselves,
so
it
is
up
to
us.
AB
AC
Chairman,
thank
you:
Michael
Walton
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
green
spaces
in
District
8.,
we're
a
local
501c3,
non-profit
with
a
diverse
bipartisan
board
of
directors.
Our
programming,
which
has
received
awards
from
Governor,
Haslam
and
Governor
Lee,
focuses
on
empowering
people
to
be
more
self-sufficient,
healthy
and
resilient.
We
do
that
in
under-resourced,
neighborhoods.
We
connect
at-risk
young
adults
with
opportunities
in
clean
Industries.
We
prepare
students
for
jobs
of
the
future
and
we
help
businesses
meet
their
goals
to
be
successful,
businesses
and
good
stewards
of
the
environment.
AC
AC
Now,
my
two
boys
and
kids,
like
them
in
every
neighborhood
in
Chattanooga,
will
have
access
to
the
fastest
growing
Industries
in
the
world.
I,
don't
think
it's
too
much
to
ask
that
my
two
boys
and
kids
all
over
Chattanooga,
grow
up
in
a
healthy
place
with
as
with
access
to
as
good
or
better
natural
resources
than
we
do.
I
support
this
plan
and
look
forward
to
supporting
the
city
during
its
execution.
Thank
you
very
much.

If
you
want
to
know
what
Chattanooga
climate
action
plan
will
look
like
10
years
down
the
road
look
across
America,
since
smart
growth
development
began
in
Portland
Oregon,
its
CO2
reduction
and
affordable
living
schemes,
the
city
has
gone
from
an
affordable,
integrated
Community
to
a
high-pressed
city
for
well
to
do
and
trust
fund
babies.
Crime
has
skyrocketed.
AD
The
poor
live
in
a
segregated
poverty
ring
on
the
outskirts
of
the
city
and
former
residents
hop
the
Green
Boundary
to
commute
to
affordable
homes,
60
miles
away,
San
Jose's
climate
Smart
LED
to
densification,
less
private
property
and
soaring
home
prices.
Today,
affordable
housing
in
San
Jose
starts
at
600
000
and
goes
to
750
000..
Most
public
employees
can't
even
afford
to
live
in
their
own
community.
In
New,
York
residents
were
urged
to
relocate
from
the
Bronx
to
upscale,
wet
Westchester
County
to
satisfy
Hud's
social
justice
and
disparate
impact
requirements.
AD
The
Town
Council
voted
for
behind
the
idealistic
climate
schemes
are
stories
of
crime,
displacement
and
unfairness,
and
we
have
not
even
begun
to
address
how
you
will
guarantee
residents
will
never
be
subject
to
the
endless
flow
of
digitally,
captured
personal
images
and
data
monitoring,
which
is
against
the
Constitution
I
might
say,
as
the
officials
in
Portland
said
10
years
ago,
after
their
City's
smart
initiative,
quote,
residents
no
longer
feel
like
they
have
power
in
the
community.
Their
social
networks
are
gone
quote.
There
are
people
here
who
wanted
to
fix
up
their.
A
H
A
U
District
three
Mr
Ken
Smith
over
here.
Thank
you
for
yourself
exactly
who
I
am
check
this
out.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
you
guys
what
I've
been
witnessing
throughout
this
whole
situation
is
that
you
have
the
corporation
against
the
people.
Let
me
explain
something
to
you:
the
Constitution
wasn't
written
for
corporations.
It
was
written
for
the
people.
U
I
will
behoove
you
to
look
at
the
2003
situation
in
Virginia
Beach
when
they
tried
to
put
their
high-tech
cameras
in
there.
A
group
of
my
veterans
went
to
the
Supreme
Court
and
within
six
to
nine
months,
had
them
removed.
I
will
have
these
cameras
removed,
I'm
not
going
to
discuss
it
anymore.
I've
had
enough.
U
U
U
I've
got
15
seconds,
bless
your
little
hearts
every
one
of
you,
because
guess
what
every
one
of
you
is
supposed
to
be
intelligent?
What
about
the
people
who
are
outside
our
city
district
that
work
here?
Where's
their
voice?
God
bless.
You
have
a
good
night,
it
ain't
gonna
work.
The
city
thing
is
not
going
to
go
through.
I
promise
you
what
will
happen.
AG
AH
Name
is
Sadie
mcelrath
and
I
live
in
District
Five
I
am
a
nurse
practitioner
and
I
work
in
pediatric,
Primary
Care
I've
lived
in
Chattanooga
for
20
years
and
I'm
here
to
testify
on
the
behalf
of
the
children
in
my
Care
at
LifeStream
Pediatrics,
who
have
asthma
and
allergies
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
trend
of
asthma
and
allergies.
That
I
am
seeing
myself
in
my
office
and
the
connection
to
climate
change.
AH
I
am
seeing
year
after
year.
Allergy
season
is
coming
earlier
and
the
symptoms
are
more
severe.
I
have
seen
so
many
children
in
my
office
just
this
year
that
are
struggling
to
breathe.
They
have
so
much
congestion
inflammation
in
their
lungs
and
their
parents,
bring
them
into
my
office
and
they're
worried
they're,
going
to
stop
breathing
that
night
and
it's
be,
and
what
I
am
seeing
in
my
office,
I
is
backed
up
by
data.
AH
Springs
are
getting
sooner,
Falls
are
lasting,
longer,
Ragweed
and
many
other
pollen
producing
plants
produce
more
pollen
as
CO2
levels
go
up.
That's
not
even
mentioning
the
direct
blood
damage
that
happens
due
to
pollution,
I'm,
seeing
it
in
my
office
that
climate
change
is
happening
and
that
the
people
in
Chattanooga
with
asthma
and
allergies,
particularly
the
children,
are
already
experiencing
the
effects
of
climate
change.
We
need
to
have
a
strong
climate
action
plan
in
Chattanooga.
AH
AH
Almost
all
of
my
patients,
if
compared
to
white
people,
I,
should
say
one
asthma
visit
in
the
emergency
room
is
two
thousand
dollars,
so
we
need
to
prevent
that
not
just
for
the
suffering,
but
even
financially,
people
who
are
Medicaid
if
we
could
have
healthy
air
to
breathe
and
they
have
access
to
fresh,
healthy
food,
we're
going
to
have
less
Price,
Less
expense
for
Medicare,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
better
community.
So
I'm
in
support
of
this
plan.
As
a
nurse
practitioner.
E

Good
evening
my
name
is
Evelyn
Axelrod
and
I
live
in
the
East
Brainerd
area,
but
I
do
frequently
come
into
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
I
am
a
recent
Refugee
from
Southern,
California
and
I
will
not
waste
your
time
in
recounting
the
many
many
problems
and
reasons
why
I
left
I
chose
Chattanooga,
because
I
have
good
friends
here.
The
cost
of
living
and
housing
and
Southern,
Charm
and
Christian
virtues
and
values
are
all
part
of
the
consideration.
AI
AI
Maya
Kelly's
plan
does
indeed
contain
some
very
concrete
and
measurable
goals
to
achieve
Net
Zero
such
as
invest
and
create
a
robust
facility
and
energy
management
team
conduct,
feasibility
studies
and
many
more
consultant
created
feasibility
studies,
liberally,
sprinkled
with
equity
and
sustainability.
Buzzwords,
but
more
concerning
is
that
this
blueprint
appears
to
be
an
interim
blueprint
for
the
world
economic
Forum,
smart
city,
which
will
in
turn
turn
into
the
15-minute
City
and
a
digital
concentration
camp
foreign.
AJ
Er
4274
Lakeshore
Lane
District
3.,
the
world
economic
Forum,
has
Chattanooga
in
their
pocket
you've.
All
Harari
is
a
top
advisor
for
the
wef.
He
States
in
a
video
interview
that
terrorists
only
affect
a
few,
but
to
use
climate
as
a
Fear
Factor
will
affect
the
world.
The
wef
has
promoted
and
manipulated
that
idea
for
years
to
achieve
their
controlling
agenda.
Climate
change
Cycles
are
as
natural
as
the
seasons
and
we
are
not
in
a
climate
crisis.
AJ
Some
of
this
climate
action
plan
has
good
aspects,
but
overall
it
looks
like
a
smoke
screen
to
develop
Chattanooga
into
a
15-minute
city,
which
is
yet
another
wef
initiative.
A
15-minute
city
is
about
housing
people
in
the
zone,
so
that
everything
they
need,
such
as
groceries,
medical,
school
work
and
hopefully
church
is
all
within
a
15-minute
walking
or
cycling
distance
to
create
a
low-carbon
footprint
and
the
carbon
is
us.
These
choices
are
narrow
within
a
Zone
and
prices
wouldn't
have
to
be
particularly
competitive.
AJ
There
are
test
runs
of
15-minute
cities
already,
and
one
is
in
the
town
of
Oxford
in
the
UK.
The
town
is
zone
is
a
circle
of
six
pie
slices.
If
you
go
outside
your
Zone
in
your
car,
you
must
get
a
permit
and
are
only
allowed
100
trips
per
year,
or
you
will
be
fined.
You
can
also
access
another
Zone
by
car
by
way
of
a
Ring
Road
around
the
town.
The
idea
is
to
have
few
Vehicles
inside
the
circle.
AJ
Basically,
you
cannot
shop,
walk,
live
without
being
monitored,
which
is
accomplished
by
Smart
City
applications
like
we
already
have
here:
camera,
sensors
and
many
other
identity
tracking
methods.
I
understand
Chattanooga
is
to
have
86
more
smart
intersections
installed
by
2025.
So
there
will
be
a
connecting
communication
network
over
our
whole
area.
What
happens
to
our
privacy
and
freedoms?
We
could
expand
parks
and
trails
as
proposed,
but
don't
dictate
and
confine
us
in
our
movements
with
so-called
climate
rules.
Getting
these
federal
funds
to
inquire
our
identity.
AK
They
and
I
look
at
this
here.
What's
in
the
climate
action
plan
and
I,
don't
know
what
there
is
to
really
object
to,
except
that
that
you
please
people
feel
like
they
didn't
have
any
any
input
into
it.
I
am
part
of
the
climate
Chattanooga
Coalition
that
is
made
up
of
several
environmental
local
groups.
AK
It
is
urgent
that
we
do
approve
it
because
in
the
paper
today,
we
read
that
the
climate
change
is
is
giving
us
problems
that
we
really
need
to
get
on
to
doing
taking
action.
For
so
the
best
thing
that
you
have
in
this
I
think
is
that
it
says
right
at
the
beginning:
invest
in
a
circular
economy
that
is
a
home
run.
A
AL
Ahead,
thank
you.

area,
Sierra

organization,
I'm,
a
resident
of
District,
Seven,
councilwoman.lees
and
I'm
here
to
support
the
plan.
We
have
reviewed
it
extensively.
It
has
a
lot
of
good
science,
I
kind
of
wanted
to
talk
about
that
mostly
today,
but
I
think
I'm
going
to
shift
my
message
more
to
community
what
I
get
from
this
plan
is.
There
is
a
good
sense
of
caring
for
the
community
and
trying
to
tie
our
community
together.
AL
I
think
we
really
need
that
in
our
society
today
and
I
just
want
to
say
some
members.
Maybe
are
the
people
here
today
that
are
opposed
to
it
or
have
some
problems
with
it.
Talk
to
us.
You
know
what
we've
been
looking
at.
It
I'm
sure
you
all
have
there's
a
lot
of
good,
backed
up
science.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
logical
reasons
for
a
lot
of
these
proposals.
AL
AL
I've
got
12
veterans
going
back
three
generations:
we've
had
three
killed
in
combat
and
I
get
a
little
choked
about
this,
but
my
grandparents
fought
World
War
II
and
they
faced
up
fascism,
which
was
a
worldwide
threat
back
then,
and
what
a
legacy
they
they
achieved.
They
defeated
it
and
achieved
it.
I
think
we've
got
an
opportunity
now
to
do
the
same
with
the
climate
crisis
and
I.
Don't
want
that
Legacy
opportunity
to
pass
so
I'm
asking
you
please
to
consider
this
talk
with
us,
we're
willing
to
talk
with
anybody
about
it.
AM
AN
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
Johann
denason
I
live
in
Harrison
and
my
wife
and
I
considered
Chattanooga
our
home
I'm.
A
recent
retiree
and
I
am
devoting
my
energy
to
serving
our
community
and
helping
specifically
to
focus
on
Workforce
Development
I'm,
a
member
of
Chattanooga,
2.0
and
I'm.
Also
chairman
of
Qatar
I'm
speaking
to
you
today
as
one
of
the
people
and
not
as
a
representative
of
a
cooperation.
AN
I
support
this
plan
because
it
is
comprehensive
in
nature.
It
is
multifaceted
and
it's
not
about
whether
it
Reigns
on
poor
people
or
rich
people,
but
in
Chattanooga,
unless
we
also
have
efforts
to
develop
our
disadvantaged
people.
People
who
are
not
engaged
in
the
workforce
will
slow
down
investment
and
floodline
the
growth
in
our
city.
AG
AG
Why
that
even
mattered,
meaning
if
we
have
businesses
in
the
city,
we
should
have
a
voice
at
any
rate,
because
I'm
using
up
my
time,
I
want
to
talk
to
you
how
many
of
y'all
up
there
can
tell
me
right
now
how
many
emfs
of
radiation
we're
receiving
in
this
room.
Any
of
you,
you
even
know
what
EMF
is
okay,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
getting
radiated
like
crazy,
it's
radiation
poisoning.
You
heard
the
nurse
come
up
and
she's
talking
about.
She
blames
it
on
climate,
it's
absolutely
not
climate.
AG
It's
increased
electrification
of
the
air
due
to
all
the
4G
5G
3G.
Every
time
the
air
has
been
electrified,
you
see
sickness,
you
see
even
more
sickness
and
the
and
the
symptoms.
I
can't
breathe
more
asthma.
All
the
things
that
she
talked
about
was
not
because
of
climate
change,
and
it
is
also
because
you
want
you
want
to
clean
up,
then
stop
spraying.
AG
The
skies
what's
coming
down
is
barium
and
aluminum,
and
you
can
go
and
measure
that
at
any
ground
around
Chattanooga,
whether
it's
in
the
city
or
county
and
the
aluminum
concentrations,
are
Sky
High.
So
the
man
who
was
going
to
be
doing
her
farming,
who
I
really
appreciate
the
the
foods
coming
out
of
there,
are
going
to
be
poisoned
with
barium
and
aluminum.
So
I
think
you'll
need
to
look
at
all
of
that
that,
before
you
think
about
all
of
this.

Sorry,
I'm,

I
know
a
thing
or
two
about
intelligence

and
how
to
evaluate
both
over
the
course
of
35
years.
I've
done
about
200
hours
worth
of
research
on
the
climate
change
topic,
which
has
been
hijacked
by
government.
It
is
not
an
existential
threat.
It
is
a
logical
fallacy,
meant
to
appeal
to
our
emotion
and
I.
Don't
have
but
two
minutes
I'm
happy
to
debate.
AO
Anybody
on
that
aspect
give
it
more
time,
but
as
an
officer
of
the
court
I'm
particularly
concerned
about
the
rule
of
law
and
government
overreach
you're
hand
on
the
scales
I'm,
a
global
citizen
I've
been

We
don't
want
to
lose
our
capitalist
society
and
every
step
that
you,
our
government
officials,
take
to
move
us
along
the
Spectrum
to
socialism
more
and
more
people,
sir,
are
going
to
be
left
in
poverty.
It's
the
only
political
capitalist
system,
economic
system
that
has
lifted
more
people
out
of
poverty
in
the
last
50
years,
two
billion
to

exact
according
to
the

You
need
to
step
back.
Let

vote
on
this

more

Hello
good
evening,
my
name
is
Alan.
Reed
I
live
in
District.
8.
I
want
to
remind
everyone
in
this
room
that
two
things
can
be
true.
At
the
same
time,
of
course,
we
need
clean
air,
clean
water
and
clean
soil.
The
policies
in
this
plan
may
help
address
many
of
those
issues,
but
the
Patriots
in
this
room
also
have
valid
concerns
about
the
authoritarian
nature
of
the
wef
and
their
policies.
Unless
your
intentions
are
to
catch
people
littering
what
does
surveillance
have
anything
to
do
with
the
environment?
AP
If
you
want
to
spend
tax
dollars
to
help
the
environment,
spend
them
on
us,
incentivize,
City
residents
or
County
residents,
by
offering
tax
credits
to
those
who
can
show
positive,
meaningful
environmental
policies
or
reform
in
their
Community,
give
us
the
freedom
to
achieve
these
goals
without
jeopardizing
life,
liberty
and
the
pursuit
of
happiness.
Those
who
would
give
up
essential
Liberty
to
purchase
a
little
bit
a
temporary
safety
deserve
neither
Liberty
nor
safety
that
was
Ben
Franklin.
All
that
said,
we
need
to
have
common
sense
solutions
to
real
world
environmental
problems.
AP

Thank
you
good
evening.

Angela
Henry
I'm,

More
importantly,
I
have
a
business
in
District

My
partners
and
I
started
a
microtransit
company
last
year.
We
do
all
electric
vehicles
in
downtown
Chattanooga
we're
looking
to
Pilot
here
in
other
cities
as
well,
but
we're
looking
forward
to
being
part
of
the
solution
as
small
as
that
can
be
one
step
at
a
time
and
we
can
start
to
make
some
positive
change.
Thank
you.
AR

I
am
here
tonight
in
support
of
the
plan
simply
because,
as
holy
cow,
the
smallest
of
small
businesses
here
in
the
city
I
feel
like
there's
opportunity
here
for
people
and
companies
that
are
my
size
to
benefit
and
grow
and
to
make
a
better
place
for
themselves
here
in
the
city
through
the
efforts
of
this
plan.
Thank
you
very
much.
AS
My
name
is
Adam
Calabrese
I
live
on
Signal
Mountain,
but
work
in
District
11
and
my
son
goes
to
school
in
District
11.
That
may
diminish
my
comments
here
tonight,
but
this
plan
is
expansive
enough
to
impact
all
of
Hamilton
County.
So
I
appreciate
your
time.
I.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
this
body.
My
one
request
to
this
Administration
and
the
teams
that
will
be
tasked
to
implement
this
plan
would
be
to
pause
to
allow
time
for
more
research
to
be
done.
AS
We
can
all
agree
that
living
in
a
cleaner
environment
is
an
admirable
goal,
especially
after
the
environmental
tragedy
in
East
Palestine
Ohio.
But
after
reading
through
the
city's
proposal,
it
is
clear
that
this
plan
is
linked
to
an
extreme
leftist
agenda
that
preaches
Global
catastrophe.
If
the
use
of
fossil
fuels
are
not
wholly
eliminated,
the
science
on
This
is
highly
debatable
and
there
are
many
subject
matter:
experts
such
as
Alex
Epstein,
Mark,
Morano,
Michael,
schellenberger,
Jordan,
Lundberg,
Richard,
lindson
and
Steve
Cooney,
the
percent.
AS
Contrary
data
to
build
a
climate
action
plan
around
a
radical
agenda
propagated
by
globalists
that
attack
the
use
of
fossil
fuels
will
not
benefit
chattanoogans
and
your
plan,
you
have
stated
that
monitoring
progress
will
be
carried
out
locally
by
your
CSR
team,
but
also
internationally
by
the
carbon
disclosure
project.
The
carbon
disclosure
project
Works
in
conjunction
with
the
United
Nations
climate
change
task
force,
who
works
in
conjunction
with
the
world
economic
Forum,
whose
key
thought
leader,
Yuval
Harari,
has
described
Humanity
as
useless
eaters.
AF
I
moved
here
in
October
from
Seattle
to
get
away
from
the
liberal
tyranny.
I
wasn't
going
to
say
anything
up
here
today,
because
I
saw
this
is
all
your
you
folks
and
stuff
I'm
75
years
old
I
had
an
heart
attack
in
November
of
21
went
to
heaven
for
a
few
seconds
that
doesn't
make
me
any
clearer
on
this
other
than
it
looks
like
a
duck.
It
walks
like
a
duck
and
it
quacks
like
a
duck
so
I'm
assuming
it's
a
duck.
I
was
enslaved.
AF
Once
in
my
life
is
when
the
U.S
army
drafted
me
and
I
was
told
in
basic
training
that
they
owned
me
and
you
better
believe
they
own
me
and
I.
Don't
want
anybody
else
owning
me,
but
I
don't
have
a
few
years.
So
you
folks,
the
ones
gonna
have
to
worry
about
the
way
that
plays
out
but
I
don't
look
at
it
as
being
a
very
good
result,
and
you
should
check
your
heart.
Go
to
prayer,
read
the
Constitution
United
States
of
America
and
see
where
that
is
authorized
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
AT
District
Five
I've
lived
here
for
about
12
years
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
listening
to
all
these
comments
tonight.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
just
want
to
focus
specifically
on
the
waste
aspect
of
this
plan.
I'm
very
much
in
support
of
reducing
waste
and
I.
Think
everyone
here,
regardless
of
our
background
and
our
opinions,
we
can
all
get
behind.
Reducing
waste
is
an
extremely
Common
Sense
thing
to
do.
Our
landfills
in
the
state
of
Tennessee
are
at
capacity.
AT
If
you
talk
to
any
state
representative,
one
of
the
hottest
topics
on
the
legislative
agenda
this
year
is
reducing
landfill
capacity.
It
is
a
crisis
if,
if
you
all
were
listening
to
the
news
in
the
last
six
months,
you've
known
about
Bristol
Tennessee,
the
massive
crisis
there,
where
landfills,
the
landfill
was
literally
exploding
and
it
was
causing
massive
crisises
for
People's
Health
there,
the
it
was,
it
was
a
disaster
just
recently,
Athens
Tennessee
is
now
having
some
issues.
AT
That's
that's
in
our
back
backyard,
I
mean
that's
not
that
far
away
and
we
have
a
choice
we
can
keep
on
in
creating
more
landfills
which
is
going
to
take
up
somebody's
space.
It's
going
to
be
next
to
somebody's,
you
know
Farm
or
Housing,
Development
or
your
house.
My
house,
landfills
cannot
be
the
answer.
We
can't
keep
bankrupting
our
children's
future
by
stuffing
our
stuff
into
the
ground
where
it's
going
to
be
a
problem.
AT
We've
seen
that
with
the
super
fun
sites
in
our
community,
we
we
basically
bankrupted
our
children's
future
and
we're
now
paying
that
as
taxpayers
to
have
to
clean
up
the
mess
I
would
urge
us
to
think
common
sense
and
adopt
the
city's
plan
for
going
zero
waste.
But
2050
is
too
long.
That's
that
is
too
far
away.
I'm,
sorry,
but
like
we
need
we,
we,
our
landfills,
have
problems
right
now.
I
would
urge
us
to
think
about
taking
action
more
quickly
to
reduce
waste.
Zero
waste
is
not
that
hard
to
do.
A
AU
Don't
know
if
you
guys
realize
this,
but
all
of
those
things
up
there
Transportation
development,
what
we
do
with
our
planet,
what
we
do
with
our
jobs,
that's
going
to
happen
whether
we
plan
for
it
or
not
so
I,
don't
understand
what
the
issue
is
with
trying
to
plan
for
it.
I
am
proud
to
be
a
chattanoogan
I
love
living
here.
I
am
younger
than
most
of
the
people
in
this
room
and
I
want
to
continue
to
be
proud
of
living
here.

Since

that
Chattanooga
without
a
boat
we're
going
to
pass
this
off
on
you
that
doesn't
seem
fair
to
me.
It's
all
I'm
saying
is
that
y'all
shouldn't
be
held
responsible
for
what
Mr
Kelly's
wanting
to
do
to
us
all.
I'm
saying
is
that
when
it
comes
up
for
election
y'all's
gonna
be
held
accountable
for
this,
and
people
are
nervous
about
this.

don't
understand
what
is
about
to
go
on

know
this
is
coming
straight
from
George
Soros
or
the
world
economic

You
got
all
kinds
of
things
coming
around.
Y'all
got
to
explain
this.
If
you're
going
to
vote
on
this,
you've
got
to
explain
to
the
people,
not
just
here
across

for
over
25
years.
I
live
in

County
District
too
I'm
here
to
voice
support
for
approval
of
the
new
climate
action
plan
for
Chattanooga.
We
appreciate
the
work
of
Mayor

the
sustainability
office
and
others
in
developing
this
new

AW
You
might
have
seen
that
the
United
Nations
released
a
climate
report
just
yesterday
from
its
panel
of
climate
experts
from
around
the
world
in
which
they
say
that
humanity
is
on
thin
ice.
They
also
state
that
our
world
needs
climate
action
on
all
fronts,
to
reduce
Greenhouse
emissions
and
adapt
to
climate
change,
and
if
we
act
now,
we
can
still
secure
a

livable,

that
it's
a
healthy
future
for

fully
supports
the
six
goals
outlined
in

plan.
We
ask
that
a
seventh
goal
be
added
to
address
health,
which
aligns
with
the
one
Chattanooga
plan
to
close
the
gaps
in
public
health.
You
the
reason
most
people
are
concerned
about
climate
change
is
because
its
impacts
on
people
and
health
our
livelihoods.
While
the
plan
addresses
Health
in
some
ways
throughout
the
plan,
we
need
to
ensure
that
we
are
taking
action
to
protect
People's

so
we
ask
that
a
specific
goal
be
added.

I've,
seen
it
firsthand
I,
don't
want
to
be
confined
to
an
area.
I
don't
want
to
watch
my

right
to
speak,
amen

I'm.
Saying
to
you
today
that
I'm
asking
the
members
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga
I
came
here
12
years
ago
born
in
Nashville,
Tennessee
and
people
ask
me
each

every
day
he
said.
Why
do
you
come
here
after
I've
been
here
for
a
few
moments?
A
AY
A
Each
and
every
one
of
you
for
bringing
your
comments,
your
convictions
and
even
your
passion
in
the
beginning,
because
everything
you
said
I
promise
you
we
are
making
lots
of
notes.
We
are
listening
intently
and
this
is
a
very
important
part
of
the
process
and,
yes,
whether
you
live
in
the
city,
whether
you
live
in
the
county,
your
voice
matters
and
that's
something
that
we
strive
for

live
up
to,
every
single
meeting.

If
you
I'd
like
to
see
more

you,
come
back

always
welcome.

we
will
now
move

do
this

BB
BB
BB
We
are
here
tonight
to
bring
attention
to
the
situation
that
exists
in
our
One
Chattanooga.
The
little
league
softball
teams
that
are
black
inner
city.
Young
girls
have
been
removed
from
the
scenic
city.
League
only
black
teams
were
removed.
It
is
not
clear
who
controls
this
league
and
The
League
status
with
the
city
and
the
use
of
Citi
Fields
as
president
of
the
local
nacp
I
made
a
call
on
Sunday
to
the
person
who
is
developing
schedules
and
Performing
other
activities
to
have
him
disrespectfully,
terminate
the
call
and
apologies
do
the
NAACP.
BB
After
talking
to
councilwoman
Demetrius
cumrard,
we
are
convinced
that
the
city
of
Chattanooga
has
involvement
in
the
league.
How
can
we
as
Citizens
avoid
the
issue
of
trouble
in
which
our
young
people
are
involved
in
if
they
do
not
have
directed
activities?
The
direct
issue
is
the
removal
of
all
black
teens
from
the
lead
with
no
explanation.
The
only
hint
of
a
reason
and
the
one
that
I
have
been
made
aware
of
is
a
personal
adult
issue
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
coaches
or
the
black
teens.
BB
The
city
is
involved
and
should
be
concerned
about
its
young
citizens
staying
out
of
trouble
and
becoming
productive
citizens
for
the
one
Chattanooga
tonight.
The
coaches,
the
all
Champion
team
members
of
the
previous
year
and
supporters
are
here
we're
here
to
First,
uncover
the
discriminatory
manner
surrounding
the
ouster
of
the
black
teens
and
get
an
understanding
concerning
the
outdoor
programs
and
use
of
City
facilities
that
promotes
the
inclusion
of
all
the
youth
in
Chattanooga.
BB
We
probably
know
the
same
that
an
idle
mind
is
the
devil's
workshop,
the
coaches,
who
have
collectively
more
than
100
in
20
years,
experience
use
their
personal
funds,
Automobiles
and
other
resources
to
give
these
girls
a
chance.
Therefore,
we
believe
it
not
robbery
for
the
city
to
support
our
youth.
Those
now
and
those
that
come
children
are
precious
and
we're
responsible
for
cutting
the
diamonds
for
their
perfection.
A
K
A
BC
Thank
you,
miss
Ann
for
coming,
but
just
the
point
of
clarity.
Rbi
is
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
City
scenic
city
is
the
county
league.
So
in
our
conversation,
that
was
what
we
discussed
so
and
they
play
with
two
different
teams,
so
I
mean
I
would
also
suggest
that
on
tomorrow,
go
to
the
County
Commission,
because
those
are
the
fields
that
they're
using
when
they're
playing
their
County
Fields
and
it's
a
county
League,
the
scenic
city
league
is
and
Greta.
BC
BB
So
I
do
know.
Protocol
and
I
will
talk
to
County
Commission,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
city,
citizens,
girls
that
are
being
kept
out
of
trouble,
they're
doing
good
work.
Some
of
them
have
gone
through
the
lead,
they've
gotten
scholarships
for
softball
in
in
college,
some
of
them
among
the
police
force.
Now
others
are
doing
things
just
because
they
stayed
off
the
streets
and
that's
what
we
should
be
concerned
about
our
city,
citizens
and
not
people
are
doing
things
and
I.
BB
You
know,
I
really,
don't
know
all
of
the
personalities
anything
involved
and
I
don't
care,
but
I
have
committed
to
myself.
Children
are
precious
to
me,
these
kids.
These
coaches
are
selling
fish,
sandwiches
and
everything
in
a
city
with
all
the
money
we
have.
That's,
that's
gonna
stop,
but
that's
just
an
aside.
That's
my
commitment
to
them.
If
you
all
want
to
make
a
commitment,
I'm
sure
they'll
be
glad
to
take
a
check
for
me
yeah.
BB
BC
Thank
you.
Good
Council,
but
I.
Just
wanted
to
make
sure
to
point
out
is
that
our
RBI
team
is
not
preventing
anyone
because
I
know
how
sometimes
the
media
try
to
change
it
and
switch
it
up
and
put
their
own
narrative
into
it.
The
city
of
Chattanooga
team
is
not
preventing
our
young
ladies
to
play
so
I.
Don't
you
know
they
do
a
great
job.
BC
L
BD
Good
evening,
I
am
Robin
Charlotte
and
Zinga,
and
yaboki
Williams
Senior
Pastor
of
Eastdale
village,
community
United,
Methodist,
Church
I
am
humbled
and
grateful
to
be
here
with
all
of
you
today
and
I.
Consider
it
a
complimentary
honor
to
have
the
opportunity
to
share
my
ancestral,
Covenant
and
voice
of
being
unapologetically
black
and
unapologetically.
A
woman
I
have
been
taught
that
inside
the
tongues
lies
the
power
of
life
and
death.
Therefore,
as
a
person
of
African
descent,
we
must
manifest
Ubuntu.
BD
BD
My
presence
here
tonight
is
to
remind
us,
as
women
of
African
descent,
that
we
have
a
her
story
of
resistance,
resilience
and
Resurrection.
So
it
is
also
imperative
to
know
that,
if
we're
going
to
be
in
the
future
that,
despite
our
differences,
that
black
women,
all
of
us
must
be
valued,
honored
and
respected.
This
is
women,
her
story
month
and
therefore
I
stand
in
the
spirit
of
my
ancestors,
those
women
folk
who
have
taught
me
how
to
fight
the
With.
BD
The
Enemy
Within
and
without
I
am
a
part
of
the
DNA
of
the
Wonder
Woman
of
the
Amazon
General
Harriet
Tubman,
Queen,
yah,
ashantiwa
and
so
many
other
great
women.
So
their
life
was
not
in
vain.
Their
tears
were
not
in
vain,
so
we
were
taught
that
the
world
wanted
us
to
walk
with
our
head
bowed
down,
but
we
were
also
taught
that
we
are
Queens
without
a
throne,
but
never
without
our
crowns.
BD
We
are
the
daughters
of
asset
or
the
resurrection
and
Grand
risings,
and
therefore
we
are
the
ones
that
put
the
missing
pieces
back
together.
Again,
we
have
been
scorched
thousands
of
times,
but
we're
like
the
phoenix
birds
rising
from
the
ashes.
So
black
women
led
the
Underground
Railroad,
the
unsung
heroes
and
Shiro's
of
the
women's
suffrage,
organized
Freedom
Writers
as
well
as
so
many
other
things,
but
what
we
are
not.
We
are
not
bees
and
we
are
not
W's
and
you
can
fill
in
the
blanks.
BD
We
are
the
mothers
of
civilization,
we
are
co-creators
with
God
and
we
are
sacred
and
therefore
the
strength
of
us
and
our
people
is
love
and
unity.
So
I
hope
from
this
point
forward
that
we
never
speak
to
each
other
or
call
each
other
out
of
our
names
that
we
speak
with
each
other
with
love
and
unity,
because
the
Cavalry
is
not
coming
for
us.
BD
BE
Tiffany
rankings
I'm
from
Lincoln
Park
doing
this
women's
month.
I
was
kind
of
shocked
when
I
came
down
here.
The
first
of
March
I
hadn't
been
down
here
in
a
while
I
figured
it
was
going
to
be
the
same
old
thing,
just
nothing.
Basically
so
I
decided
to
come
at
the
first
of
March
a
few
weeks
ago
and
I
was
appalled
to
hear
another
woman
call
another
woman,
a
bee
with
no
apology.
BE
BE
We
need
to
respect
each
other.
We
need
to
have
respect
for
one
another.
We
need
to
represent
our
constituents
if
we're
going
to
represent
our
constituents
I'm
not
for
sure
what's
going
on
down
here,
but
some
things
need
to
change.
I
feel
like
I'm
dealing
with
a
tribal
unit
when
I
come
down
here
and
speak.
