Thank
you
miss
chair.
I
voted
for
this
last
week,
but
in
the
last
week
I've
spoken
to
several
constituents
and
they
brought
to
my
attention
that,
with
the
study
coming
up,
you
know
the
first
question
was:
what's
the
rush
of
making
these
changes
and
it
basically
came
out
that
they
feel
like
this
is
something
being
done
for
a
developer
that
has
a
project
they
want
to
do
and
they
didn't
feel
comfortable
with
that
that
we'd
be
passing
zoning
changes
for
potentially
an
individual,
so
I'll
I'll
be
voting
against
this
tonight.
B

A

I
I
heard
part
of
it
that
he
was.
He
said
that
he
had
asked
for
some
information
about
the
about
the
litter
program
and
the
the
deployment.
But
I
want
to
be
sure
I
got
that
I
do
not
have
that
information,
but
I'll
be
glad
to
take
that
back
to
to
try
to
get
that.
But
I
apologize
that
I'm
not
familiar
with
that
program.

I've
appreciated
the
support
he
has
even
allowed
this
council
to
have
a
monthly
program
where
we
were
each
able
to
come
on
and
share
with
the
community
things
that's
happening
in
our
district
and
how
we
work
together
as
a
team
to
make
our
city
a
better
place
for
all.
So,
if
I
may,
I
just
like
to
read
this
recognition
for
outstanding
contribution
to
the
city
of
chattanooga.
D
A
B
You,
sam
councilman
oglesby.
I
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
this.
Sam
is
a
friend
I've
enjoyed
being
on
his
show.
I've
enjoyed
working
with
him,
it's
our
loss,
he's
an
honorable
man,
a
great
broadcaster
and
sam.
I
don't
know
if
you'll
see
a
repeat
of
this,
thank
you
for
all
you've
done
god
speed
and
I
wish
your
mother
well.
D
C
Councilman
byrd,
thank
you,
chair
sam
I've
been
knowing
him
since
I
was
a
kid
traveling
with
a
group
called
the
new
beginning
him
and
another
radio
promoter
were
the
first
ones
to
ever
play
our
record
all
over
the
world
and
once
he
put
our
record
in
with
wno,
we
started
to
take
off,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
that
opportunity
and
thank
sam
for
all
the
times.
He
allowed
me
to
come
and
express
myself
as
a
council
person
and
just
listen
to
the
people.
C
He
always
had
a
connection
with
the
community
and
the
community
loved
sam
and
they
respected
sam's
opinion,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
all
the
years
of
servicing.
I
can't
wait
to
see
him
again
and
I
wish
his
mother
well.
I
wish
him
well,
and
I
know
he's
going
to
do
great
things
so
take
care
of
yourself,
sam.
G
A
All
right,
okay
to
our
to
those
that
are
in
an
attendee.
We
now
come
to
the
time
on
our
agenda
where
we
recognize
people
persons
wishing
to
address
the
council.
So
if
you
have
registered
to
speak
and
you'd
like
to
do
so
at
this
time,
would
you
please
raise
your
hand?
While
I
asked
the
city
attorney
to
read
our
rules
for
engagement.
M
Each
time
this
is
the
public
comment
section
of
the
business
meeting
of
the
council
and
at
the
end
of
every
council
business
meeting.
The
chair
will
recognize
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
address
the
council
and
here's
your
rules.
Each
speaker
wishing
to
address
the
council
can
only
be
recognized
that
the
podium
that
we
have
is
normally
a
microphone
in
front
of
the
meeting.
But
here
it
is
on
the
phone
or
on
this
zoom
meeting
that
we
have
and
when
you're
going
to
talk.
M
Please
provide
your
name
address
and
council
districts
so
that
they
know
which
person
can
respond
to
you
best.
No
person
can
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak
and
you
can
address
the
council
only
upon
matters
within
their
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
authority
and
not
upon
matters
which
are
regulated
by
other
governmental
agencies.
M
You
can
only
use
proper
language,
do
not
use
any
vulgar
or
obscene
language
nor
use
the
floor
to
personally
attack
or
personally
denigrate
others
and
do
not
address
your
councils,
your
comments
to
anyone
other
than
the
council
as
a
whole
and
not
towards
individual
council
members.
So,
having
stated
all
that,
please
come
on
now
here,
as
directed
by
the
chair.
Okay,.
A
L
L
I
think
this
kind
of
thing
absolutely
rules,
and
I
hope
that
we
continue
to
see
more
of
it
specifically.
I
also
appreciate
that
police
chief
roddy
recognizes
and
acknowledges
that
we
need
to
work
on
creating
a
more
equitable
future.
With
regards
to
some
topics,
one
of
the
topics
that
was
covered
extensively
was
about
economic
citations,
causing
a
vicious
cycle
quote
a
quick
stand
that
people
get
stuck
in.
This
is
a
measurement
of
a
systemic
racist
outcome.
By
that
I
mean
it's
not
that
each
individual
officer
that
gives
out
one
of
these
tickets
is
necessarily
racist.
L
L
The
two
options
that
I
see
us
having
which
are
not
exhaustive,
are
you
to
change
this
system
to
be
more
equitable,
that
is
policy
and
local
code
changes
or
we
must
not
enforce
a
racist
system.
I
think
the
chief
himself
stated
that
there
is
nothing
the
police
can
do
to
solve
this.
These
citations
are
called
non-discretionary,
which
I
don't
personally
believe
is
a
thing
that
exists.
Every
citation
is
like
discretionary,
just,
maybe
not
from
a
legal
standpoint.
L
L
We
could
also
work
to
amend
our
city
code
to
amend
these,
to
be
discretionary,
less
financially
putative
or
provide
alternative,
sensitive,
provide
alternative
sensing
like
litter
cleanup.
There
are
many
other
examples
of
the
code
that
need
to
be
amended.
These
are
parts
of
the
code
that
only
seem
to
be
around
in
order
to
be
enforced
when
convenient
to
the
enforcers.
L
L
This
needs
to
occur
not
only
by
those
outside
the
system,
that
is
the
people,
but
also
those
that
we
elect
to
implement
these
systems.
I
understand
that
someone's
going
to
say,
there's
no
jurisdiction
for
us
to
do
this.
To
that
I
say
who
cares?
The
state
legislator
doesn't
seem
to
have
a
problem
passing
unconstitutional
law
after
unconstitutional
law.
So
why
don't
we
try
bending
and
mending
the
code
for
the
benefit
of
the
people
for
once?
A
J
J
So
I
I
don't
think
that
a
house
that
was
built
in
1930
should
get
rebuilt
with
asbestos,
for
instance,
or
lead
paint.
Not.
I
just
wanted
that
to
not
be
an
oversight,
because
I
think
that
that
is
those
are
important
things
to
consider
housing
for
all
justice.
For
all.
You
know
all
the
other
things
that
I
continue
to
call
about,
but
I'll
yield.
My
time.
