Yes,

Mr,
chair,
I
am
I,
actually
went
out
to
look
at
the
property
myself
and
I
spoke
with
Karen
in
reference
to
it.
So
there's
some
confusion
as
to
being
two
different
property
owners
for
1509
and
15
and
11,
and
it's
all
gated
in
together.

Councilman.
A
F
Thank
you
Mr
chair.
We
did
discuss
this
earlier
today
during
our
agenda
session
and
if
the
council
will
indulge
me
I'd
like
to
defer
both
of
these
items
till
9
20,
so
that
we
can
have
a
discussion
as
to
whether
our
policy
moving
forward
is
going
to
include
waiving
deposits,
and
that
is
in
the
form
of
emotion,
sir
I.

Councilman
Hester.
A
We
have
a
motion
to
approve
to
hear
a
second
to
that
motion.
Questions
comments
before
we
vote
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
oppose
item
J
carries
purchases
this
evening,
Mr
Goldberg
I,
believe
we
have
three
purchases
that
were
presented
to
council
earlier
this
week.
We've
had
an
apple
opportunity
to
ask
questions,
including
today
again
at
3,
30.
H
Yes,
sir,
we
have
three
purchases
recommended
for
approval.
The
first
is
from
the
treasury
division.
This
is
a
request
to
increase
the
contract
for
printing
folding,
stuffing
mailing
and
postage
for
tax
bills,
tax
bills
summons
and
past
due
notices.
The
original
amount
approved
by
Council
on
August
9
2022,
was
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
and
did
not
include
postage.
The
new
annual
amount,
including
postage,
is
not
to
exceed
125
000..
The
second
item
from
Finance
is
a
new
blanket
contract
for
child
forensic
interview
and
child
protective
investigation
team
services.
This
is
a
sole
source
procurement.
H
The
vendors
Children's
Advocacy
Center.
This
will
be
a
four-year
contract
with
annual
amount
not
to
exceed
68
000..
These
Services
were
previously
provided
through
budget
appropriation,
and
the
last
item
is
from
the
Fleet
Management
division
of
Public
Works.
This
is
a
request
for
a
12-month
extension
of
the
contract
for
police,
interceptors
and
special
service
Vehicles.
This
will
give
the
new
Fleet
director
time
to
evaluate
options
for
bidding
and
or
use
of
Cooperative
agreements.
The
extension
includes
a
four
percent
price
increase
from
the
annual
amount
not
to
exceed
1
million.
A
A
I
Yeah:
okay:
today
we
had
a
presentation
on
a
budget
amendment
which
will
be
up
for
first
reading
on
9
27
second
reading
on
10-4,
because
it's
a
budget
amendment
we
have
to
hold
a
public
hearing
and
that
will
be
next
week.
9
20
and
Mr
chair
I
suggest
that
we
need
to
schedule
no
more
than
30
minutes
and
it's
two
minutes.
Each
is
what
we've
done
in
the
past
for
amendments
now
for
the
public.
Everything
we
talked
about
today
is
online.
I
A
E
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
the
short-term
vacation
rental
ad
hoc
committee
did
meet
today
and
we
covered
some
housing
data
provided
by
Mr
Chris
Acuff,
and
we
determined
that
our
next
meeting
would
be
October,
the
11th
at
2
pm
and
our
Council
conference
room
and
we
hope
to
present
a
draft
ordinance
Amendment
at
that
time.
Very.
J
K
A
That
concludes
our
committee
reports.
We
now
also
end
our
ordinances
and
resolutions.
For
this
evening.
We
now
move
into
the
recognitions
of
persons
wishing
to
address
councils
or
anyone
wishing
to
address
counsel
this
evening.
If
so,
please
make
your
way
to
the
podium
and
you'll
have
three
minutes
and
while
you're
coming
sir
I'll
have
the
City
attorney
read
our
rules
for
public
speaking.
B
At
the
end
of
every
council
meeting,
the
chair
will
recognize
members
of
the
public
that
wish
to
address
the
council.
Here's
your
rules,
each
speaker
wishing
to
address
the
council
can
only
be
recognized
up
front
at
the
microphone.
That's
provided.
No
person
can
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak.
The
speaker
can
undress
the
council
only
upon
matters
within
their
legislative
and
quasi
judicial
Authority
and
not
upon
the
matters
that
are
not
under
the
authority
of
the
council
or
regulated
by
other
governmental
bodies.
B
You
can't
use
any
vulgar
or
obscene
language,
can't
use
the
floor
to
personally
attack
or
personally
denigrate
others
and
should
address
your
comments
to
the
council
as
a
whole
and
not
make
comments
towards
individual
council
members.
Please.
Anyone
can
do
this
one
time
only
today
at
a
council
meeting
and
the
chair
will
not
permit
any
disorderly
conduct
or
disrupting
public
meeting,
which
is
prohibited
under
Tennessee
law,
and
you
commit
that
offense
if
you
substantially
obstruct
or
interfere
with
the
meeting
by
physical
action
or
verbal
utterance,
with
the
intent
to
prevent
or
disrupt
a
lawful
meeting.
A
L
L
It
makes
me
feel
that
our
government
has
prioritized
Aesthetics
over
care
of
people.
That's
confusing
to
me.
There
is
a
drive-by.
My
next
door,
neighbor
and
I
mean
I,
know
that
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
y'all
or
the
government
as
a
whole
as
an
individual.
But
that's
confusing
to
me.
It's
easy
to
tell
others
that
their
problem
is
from
personal
accountability,
but
when
a
government
is
involved
a
government's,
not
an
individual.
So
how
do
you
address
that
I?
Don't
know
because
I'm
confused.
L
I
fight
with
disbelief,
disbelief
in
our
establishments,
disbelief
and
our
Collective
Agreement
on
goals,
disbelief
and
my
own
thoughts
due
to
thin
spread
opinions.
Maybe
something
that
I've
been
told
went
over
me.
I,
hope
that
that's
all
there
is
to
it.
Maybe
I
just
don't
understand,
but
there
are
people
that
are
being
affected
not
directly
by
individuals
but
by
The,
Establishment
and
I.
A
If
you
don't
mind,
Mr
Sam
is
right
in
the
back
there
and
if
you've
been
fed
any
misinformation
about
what
the
city's
efforts
are.
Sam
will
be
able
to
give
you
the
information
and
the
efforts
ongoing
yeah.
That's
on
that
opening
for
debate,
I'm,
just
telling
you
to
look
back
and
see
Sam
right
there,
okay,
okay!
Thank
you.
F
C
John,
hey
everyone,
John
John
I
am
in
District
nine
and
today
I
want
to
talk
about
the
difference
between
complicated
and
complex
systems
when
it
comes
to
City,
Planning
and
Development,
they
sound
very
similar
but
they're
different.
Imagine
throwing
a
seed
into
a
corn
field,
anything
other
than
a
kernel
of
corn
by
design
that
seed
will
not
grow.
The
complicated
process
of
a
monoculture
like
corn
keeps
it
from
growing
purposefully,
but
today
I
want
to
talk
about
complicated,
fragile
systems
juxtaposed
with
complex
adaptive
systems.
C
A
monoculture
like
corn
is
a
prime
example
of
a
complicated
and
fragile
system.
It's
like
a
Swiss
watch
lots
of
moving
Parts.
If
one
of
them
breaks
down
the
whole
system
breaks
down,
it
could
be
the
government
subsidies.
The
price
controls
whatever
it
is.
Complicated
systems
are
fragile
a,
but
if
you
contrast
that
with
an
Adaptive,
complex
system
like
say
a
coral
reef
and
you
chip
a
piece
of
that
coral
reef
off,
something
else
will
take
its
place.
Exclusionary
zoning
laws
are
an
example
of
a
type
of
monoculture
or
complicated
fragile
systems.
C
They
favor
big
bold
bets
and
they
are
high
risk.
Instead,
I
would
advocate
for
complex
adaptive
systems,
small
incremental
conservative,
sustainable
and
robust
change
soil
that
not
only
supports
corn
seeds
but
juxtaposed
to
a
monoculture.
It's
more
like
an
ecosystem
that
supports
acorns
pecans
apples
and
blueberries,
exclusionary
zoning
laws
punish
those
who
lack
the
money
in
time
to
take
advantage
of
the
complex
system
designed
for
corn
seeds,
we've
all
but
outlawed
a
way
for
the
poor
to
earn
a
right
from
their
labor
or
profit
from
the
out
output
of
their
labor
using
their
property.
C
As
a
result,
we
see
the
poor
as
a
liability
more
than
untapped
potential.
We
could
do
well
to
look
at
the
rest
of
the
culprit
for
our
housing
shortages
and
business
problems
and
see
that
it's
not
just
one
little
problem,
but
it
could
be
helped
a
lot
by
things
like
up
zoning.
You
see,
housing
is
a
luxury
item
right
now
it's
expensive
and
it's
only
an
expense.
Vivian
from
Ridgedale
could
not
sell
paletas
out
of
her
garage
without
doing
so
illegally.
C
She
has
neither
the
time
nor
the
resources
to
go
to
zoning
hearings,
because
she
is
not
corn
and
the
city
is
incentivized
to
shut
her
down
and
how
dare
her
be
anything
other
than
corn
in
this
situation.
So
instead,
let's
exchange
exclusionary
zoning
laws
for
up
zoning.
Let's
move
away
from
the
exclusivity,
favoring,
complicated
fragile
systems
and
move
to
more
complex
adaptive
systems.
The
weakness
of
a
complex
system
is
its
homogeneity,
and
its
weakness
is
change.
C
J
J
Here,
lately,
we've
seen
so
many
mass
shootings
we've
had
over
470
mass
shootings
in
the
United
States
totally
unacceptable.
I
stand
here
today
on
behalf
of
all
the
grieving
mothers
all
over
the
world,
we're
coming
up
on
the
first
anniversary
for
yes,
seven
black
females
were
shot,
two
of
them
were
killed.
J
We
cannot
forget,
we
will
not
forget.
I,
am
asking
you
to
come
out
on
September
the
24th
and
support
these
families
I,
and
let
them
know
that
you
support
them
as
much.
You
don't
know
what
it
is
to
lose.
A
child
I
know
what
it
is.
I've
experienced,
both
aspects
of
violence
and
I've
told
this
over
and
over
again
the
judicial
aspect
and
the
victim
aspect,
and
you
don't
know
until
you
have
to
walk
in
that
person's
shoes.
None
of
us
no
Community
is
immune
from
gun
violence.
J
I
stand
here
today
and
I
submit
to
you.
I.
Ask
you,
on
behalf
of
all
these
grieving
families
all
over
the
world,
to
come
out
and
support
these
families,
and
let
them
know
that
they
are
not
alone.
We've
got
programs
out
here
that
can
help.
We've
got
to
allocate
this
money
in
the
right
places
and
we've
got
to
hold
people
accountable.
We
got
the
whole
I
elected
officials
accountable
for
the
things
they
doing
the
things
you
do
not
do.
J
This
is
what
I
do
I'm
hurt
I'm
I'm
saddened
about
what's
going
on
in
the
world,
but
we
can
make
a
difference.
You
all
are
blessed
to
sit
there
in
those
positions,
and
we
ask
you
that
you
sympathize
with
us
and
help
us
bring
solutions
to
the
table
and
make
this
a
better
place.
What
affects
one
directly
actually
affects
us
all,
indirectly.
I.
Thank
you
for
listening
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
support.
I
have
a
press
release
and,
with
the
permission
to
pass
this
on
to
someone.
Yes,.
A
K
K
I
think
I
can
all
agree
that
it's
going
to
take
great
teachers
and
Community
leaders
as
well
as
parents.
These
entities
are
essential
for
the
success
of
our
children
and
engaged
Community
is
involved
in
our
schools,
and
that
includes
our
community
centers
as
well,
and
regardless
of
the
ZIP
code.
The
effective,
efficient
and
consistent
operation
of
quality
programs
in
the
community
centers
ensure
safety
and
healthy
well-being.
K
Saturday
October
15th
cap
will
be
hosting
a
water
safety
demonstration
at
the
center
because
we
are
an
upstart
charitable
non-profit.
We
are
asking
that
the
rental
fees
be
waived.
The
facility
use
application
has
been
submitted
awaiting
a
response
from
you,
councilman
Isaiah
Hester.
Please
review
the
email
submitted
a
few
days
ago.
Your
immediate
response
is
greatly
appreciated.
I
hope
we
can
all
come
together
and
have
the
heart
to
invest
in
our
children.

A
A

Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Edward
Curtis
of
District
Seven.
Yes,
sir
I've
got
a
problem
with
the
Tennessee
American
Water
Company
that
we
don't
have
administrative
office
here.
Some
kind
of
office
that
the
customers
can
go
to
for
a
complaint.
I
forgot
to
complain
could
I
get
this.
You
got
to
pass
the
tickets
around.
Yes,.
M
Know
and
that's
the
problem:
we
don't
have
no
kind
of
Outreach
but
the
phone.
We
need
the
office
where
we
can
go
down
and
talk
to
these
people.
It's
not
the
problem
of
water
bill
I
got
a
leak
in
my
yard.
You
know-
and
it's
not
it's
not
my
meter,
but
the
water
is
standing
in
my
yard
and
around
my
neighborhood.
They
came
out
in
the
market
a
month
ago.
M
M
If
I
want
to,
you
know,
I've
done
that
you
know
I've
told
you
know
my
councilman,
my
constant
person
about
that.
But
do
I
need
to
go
higher
because
evidently
nothing
is
being
done
about
the
people,
and
you
know
I'm,
not
the
only
one.
We
need
an
office
in
Chattanooga
if
you're
going
to
take
our
money
at
least
have
an
office
here
that
we
can
go
to
to
talk
to
understand.
Okay
I
mean
you.
People
gave
that
up
when
you
know
later
on.
M
A
M
M

Now
miss
Shepherd
I
appreciate
Miss
Shepard
standing
up
and
helping
with
that
situation,
because
I
was
hearing
two
different
requests,
so
miss
Shepard.
If
you
would
I
appreciate
her
standing
up.
That's
that's
great.
Thank
you,
sir
all
right.
Anybody
else
wishing
to
address
Council
this
evening,
Council
seeing
none
I,
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn.
