Councilwoman
coonrod,
mr
foster,
councilwoman.
D
We
had
some
interesting
discussion
about
all
of
it
and
it
is
set
on
the
agenda
for
for
a
vote,
for
I
believe
it's
april
5th
is
that
meeting.
In
no
way
does
this
a
fit
affect
anything
going
with
district
8
now
and
the
selection
of
a
new
person.
A
Thank
you,
ma'am
councilman,
hester,
councilman,
ladford,
chairman
planning
and
zoning
did
meet
today
where
we
covered
all
items
on
our
agenda.
All
right.
Thank
you,
sir,
and
as
a
way
of
report
during
our
strategic
planning.
This
afternoon
we
did.
We
did
decide
as
a
council
that
the
applicant
interviews
for
district
8
would
start
at
3
o'clock.
A
On
march,
the
8th,
each
candidate
or
each
applicant
will
be
given
three
minutes
to
address
the
council,
and
then
council
members
obviously
will
have
the
ability
to
ask
questions
to
follow
the
nominations
and
vote
to
fill.
The
district
eight
seat
will
take
place
at
our
six
o'clock
meeting
under
other
business.
A
E
A
That
takes
care
of
all
of
our
agenda
items
this
afternoon,
and
it
brings
us
to
the
time
that
we
recognize
persons
wishing
to
address
the
council
this
afternoon.
Do
we
have
anyone
in
the
audience
that
would
like
to
address
the
council
this
afternoon?
Okay,
all
right,
I'm
going
to
ask
the
attorney
if
he
would
to
read
the
rules
to
address
the
council
and
if

would
like,

F
My
name
is
susan
gilmore
and
I'm
from
district
7.
and
I'm
here
tonight,
because
I
wanted
to
express
my
concern
about
my
neighborhood,
because
the
very
value
and
unique
character
of
our
established
urban
and
north
shore
communities
is
currently
being
threatened
by
the
proliferation
of
short-term
vacation
rentals.
I
say
this
as
a
south
side
resident
voter
and
residential
realtor.
My
very
own
neighborhood
is
being
transformed
right
before
my
eyes,
from
a
community
to
a
hotel
district.
In
the
past
few
months,
five
stvrs
were
added.
F
Another
neighbors
long-term
tenants
were
operating
a
non-licensed,
non-owner-occupied
stvr
and
then
another
neighbor
most
recently
applied
for
yet
another
known,
honor
non-owner-occupied
stvr.
Finally,
the
neighbors
had
had
it.
We
coalesced
17
letters
of
opposition
were
written
and
the
neighbor
withdrew
his
application,
but
it
was
a
hollow
victory
for
the
neighborhood.
F
The
stvr
governing
ordinances
are
vaguely
written
so
now
that
very
same
applicant
has
applied
as
an
owner-occupied
for
an
owner-occupied
permit,
maintaining
that
he
is
renting
his
primary
residence,
and
so
none
of
the
requirements
of
being
a
non-owner-occupied
stv
are
applied
to
him,
even
though
he
only
intends
to
rent
his
home
when
he
is
out
of
the
country.
Thousands
of
miles
away
working
on
the
other
side
of
the
atlantic,
chattanooga
residents
living
in
this
stvr
overlay
are
desperate
for
you
to
take
immediate
action
to
review,
clarify
and
revise
the
ordinances
regulating
these
income
producing
properties.
F
G
G
What
we're
doing
today
in
this
day
and
time
to
curb
the
violence
in
our
communities
where
we
live,
is
totally
unacceptable.
What
is
going
on
in
our
community
today?
I
am
the
founder
and
organizer
of
the
of
a
501
c
3
homicide
support.
G
On
september,
the
25th
there
were
seven
black
females
that
were
shot.
Two
of
them
was
murdered.
We
haven't
had
anything
brought
to
the
community
in
reference
to
what
is
going
on
with
the
investigation.
I
stand
here
as
a
grieving
mother,
pleading
with
you
all
begging
with
you
all
for
some
type
of
support.
I
have
over
30
years
of
law
enforcement.
I
know
what
it
is
to
testify
in
court
on
a
murder
trial.
I
also
know
what
it
is
to
process
a
crime
scene
to
see
a
dead
body
there
and
photograph
that
dead
body.
G
G
If
you
help
us,
we
will
remember,
but
if
you
do
not
help
us,
we
will
remember
this
is
the
time
it's
time
out
for
foolishness,
we're
losing
our
kids
is
chaos
all
over
the
world.
People
are
dying,
babies
are
dying
for
no
reason
at
all,
and
you
all
have
to
forgive
my
passion
right
now,
but
somebody
gotta
speak.
There
has
been
no
arrests,
no
no
kind
of
communication
on
what
is
going
on,
because
my
understanding,
when
I
moved
back
to
my
hometown,
I
was
born
and
raised
here.
G
I
didn't
just
come
here
so
that
being
said,
we've
got
to
find
out.
We
got
to
collectively
come
together.
Where
is
the
homicide
support
group
here
in
the
city
of
chattanooga?
These
children
are
traumatized,
seeing
their
loved
ones
shot
down
the
mother's
grieving.
All
over
the
place.
We
need
to
collectively
come
together,
bring
these
young
people
to
the
table,
and
I
leave
you
with
this
in
the
book
of
zechariah,
7
and
9.
This
is
what
the
lord
almighty
says,
administer
true
justice
and
show
compassion
to
one
another.
H
Good
evening,
good
evening,
my
name
is
anne
watley,
I'm
in
district
9..
I
have
called
before
we're
here
today
asking
that
someone
will
please
assist
us
we're
from
the
battery
height
community
you
all.
I
would
assume
you
approved
a
contract
for
them
to
come
in
and
take
they
took
over
a
property
and
they're
under
renovation
now.
H
But
the
problem
is
that,
with
the
residents
up
there,
we
have
147
units,
that's
being
occupied
with
the
residents
up
there,
they're
treating
us
as
if,
though,
we're
not
human
they're
coming
in
saying
that
they're
going
to
do
different
works
to
the
apartments,
but
nothing
is
being
done.
You
have
wires,
which
is
dangerous
hanging
out,
and
I
have
sense
enough
to
know
what
protocol
is.
We've
talked
with
management.
H
We've
talked
with
the
one
above
management
we've
had
meetings,
we've
had
zoom
meetings,
but
all
we
ever
hear
from
management
is
that
we're
going
to
get
to
it.
Some
of
the
parts
didn't
come
in
or
they're
going
to
come
back
they're
going
to
do
this
and
it
is
not
safe.
And
then,
when
you
try
to
talk
to
the
contractors
they're
saying
well,
they
told
us
to
skip
this
apartment.
Don't
do
this?
Don't
do
that.
I
have
experienced
renovation
before
with
the
housing
authority
and
other
properties.
H
I
know
that
it
is
not
right
for
people
to
have
to
live
the
way
we
are
living
and
I'm
asking
you
all.
Please
please
consider
it
and
try
to
get
us
some
kind
of
questions
or
get
us
some
answers,
so
that
we'll
know
exactly
what
else
is
it
that
we
can
do
as
a
community
and
we're
in
district
9
and
I've
talked
to
councilman
conrad
about
it
before.
A
George
chief,
do
you
think
you
can
get
miss
waldey?
Could
you
get
with
right
behind
you
there,
okay,
after
the
meeting
just
get
with
your
mind
and
see
if
we
can
get
you
some
answers.
F
I
Is
denise
thurman
and
I'm
also
from
district
nine?
I
live
out
there
with
miss
han
live
and
just
like
she
said
this
renovation
thing.
I
live
in
a
handicapped
apartment
and
they
saying
that
they
got
to
move
us
out
for
six
weeks,
the
way
they
renovate
and
they
putting
people
in
hotels
for
14
days
when
they
come
back
stuff,
still
ain't
done
and
by
me
being
handicapped.
I
have
to
ask
for
help
because
I
just
can't
ask
for
help
right
right.
Then
I
have
to
make
arrangements.
I
So
we
got
all
this
stuff
packed
up
because
they
said
they
could
come
and
do
the
apartments.
I'm
grateful
for
the
renovations
I'm
grateful
for,
and
I'm
not
complaining,
I'm
just
stating
my
concerns
and
we
do
ask
about
them,
but
they
don't
never
give
us
a
straight
answer.
They
put
notes
on
our
door
last
week
we're
supposed
to
get
new
doors.
I'm
the
only
one
in
my
building
ain't
got
a
new
door,
yet
they
say
the
handicap's
a
special
place
and
it's
going
to
take
them
a
while
to
do
them.
I
I
I
can't
speak
that
other
language
and
you
tell
them
to
put
the
mass
on
so
I
just
do
this
and
we
got
the
right
to
not
let
them
in
our
house
without
being
threatened
with
this
hill
corona
I've
been
staying
safe
so
far,
fascinated
and
I've
been
staying
safe
so
far,
and
I
want
it
to
stay
that
way.
Some
of
them
are
nice
enough
to
get
them
ass
and
come
in
there,
but
last
time
they
was
in
there.
I
My
girlfriend
had
to
go
take
a
bath
over
somebody
else's
house
because
they
ain't
finished
with
her
apartment,
but
they
allow
her
to
come
back
and
say
they
finished
every
day
they
waiting
on
this.
They
waiting
on
that
and
they
just
completely
completely
forgot
about
me,
and
I
just
want
answers.
All
I
want
to
know
is
that
doing
this
renovation
just
make
it
comfortable
for
us,
especially
me,
because
I
am
handicapped
and
I'm
gonna
speak
real
fast
at
the
end
of
this.
What
was
it
real
fast?
I
I
just
wanna.
Let
y'all
know
that
all
I
want
is
some
answers
and
some
help
and
to
just
move
in
a
comfortable
way
and
and
live
and
live
and
live.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Hey.
A
J
L
L
L
Alco
management
now
has
taken
over
battery
heights
and
the
renovation.
I
don't
know
who
thought
the
renovation
up,
but
it's
it's
nice
for
the
renovation,
because
now
the
handicapped,
we
get
a
wash
and
dryer
hookup.
That's
all
I
care
about.
I
care
less
about
the
rest
of
it,
but
we
have
no
closet
space.
L
Now
we're
scrapping
to
try
to
figure
out
everything
where
we're
going
to
throw
stuff
out
and
the
whole
thing
it's
just
horrible
and
I'm
hoping
that
somebody
they
granted
them
the
money
or
whatever
they
got
will
make
them
acknowledge
that
they're
going
to
have
to
do
a
better
job
with
the
renovation.
Thank
you.
D
J
Company
is
alco
management,
and
so
that's
who
we
would
have
to
follow
up
with
to
figure
out
how
best
to
rectify
the
situation
and
to
address
the
constituents
concerns
all.
D
J
Before
the
pandemic
started
so
before
prior
to
2020,
so
I
don't
know
that
any
of
that
was
thought
of
back
then,
when
that
was
approved.
D
J
F
J
And
so
what
we'll
need
to
do
is
talk
to
the
owners
of
the
property
which,
in
this
case
is
alco
management,
to
see
what
what
the
issues
are
with
the
country
with
the
contractors
that
they've
hired,
but
they
don't
work
for
the
city.
They
work
for
the
property
manager.
J
D
Because
masks
should
have
been
required,
people
should
be
treated
with
dignity.
I
mean,
I
know
you
know
all
this.
This
isn't
fussing
with
you,
but
just
because
of
the
rent
people
pay
doesn't
mean
they
shouldn't
be
quit
treated
equitably.
D
All
the
things
I
heard
don't
pass
the
test
for
me,
especially
if
we
gave
them
a
pilot.
Yes,.
J
K
Thank
you
chair,
thank
you,
miss
ann
and
everybody
for
coming
up
here.
I
appreciate
you
doing
that
and
rallying
up
the
truths
I
this
conversation
been
ongoing.
I
have
you
know
reached
out
to
the
property
owners
they're
located
out
in
memphis.
K
We've
had
several
conversations
and
I
just
recently
reminded
them
about
the
pilot
and
the
agreement
that
they
agreed
to,
and
this
is
the
pilot
that
we
approved
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
in
that
in
it
it
also
states
that
they're
gonna,
because
the
rent
increased
significantly
like
doubled
and
their
terms
was
agreed
so
a
place
that
was
once
five
hundred
dollars
now
they're
playing
paying
market
rate
and
we
and
the
agreement
was
that
they
would
keep
maybe
and
we
would
get
about
nine
to
twelve
section
eight
units,
but
I
have
talked
to
you
about
it.
K
So
I'm
glad
my
question
was
came
up,
so
you
know
it's
just
not
me
saying
it.
It
is
a
legit
concern
and
hopefully
you
all
can
nudge
them
to
do
something
different,
and
so,
through
my
phone
calls
with
them.
I
was
able
to
get
them
to
agree
to
have
them
placed
in
a
hotel
for
14
days.
They
did
agree
to
that,
but
it's
other
things
that
that's
more
serious,
that's
happening
that
they're
not
adhering
to
so
I'd
appreciate
your
knowledge
on
that.
Yes,.
