Good
evening
Council
we
have
two
purchases
recommended
for
approval
this
evening.
The
first
is
from
the
Chattanooga
division
of
transportation
and
traffic
Operations
Division.
This
is
a
new
blanket
contract
for
traffic
signed
posts.
This
will
be
a
four-year
agreement
not
to
exceed
eighty
thousand
dollars
per
year.
Four
bids
were
requested
and
two
were
returned.
The
award
will
go
to
Vulcan.
Inc
is
the
best
bid
for
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
The
second
is
from
the
Wastewater
Department.
This
is
a
new
blanket
contract
for
remote
monitoring
services
for
the
cryogenic
oxygen
regenerate
generate
generation
system.
C
E
C
We
do
have
one
RFP
that
we
are
requesting
approval
to
issue
the
RFP
again.
This
is
just
an
issue
not
to
approve
an
award
at
this
time.
This
is
from
Human
Resources.
This
RFP
is
for
on-site
Pharmacy
services
at
the
well
Advantage
Center.
Each
provider
of
this
category
of
services
provides
a
unique
model
of
operations.
The
city
needs
to
be
able
to
actively
make
sure
that
the
model
provided
meets
the
city's
needs.
C
Lastly,
we
have
one
sole
source
purchase
to
report.
This
is
from
Community
Health.
This
is
a
sole
source
purchase
for
radio
advertisements
from
Brewer
Media
Group
for
community
outreach
partnership.
The
total
cost
is
forty,
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
and
forty
one
dollars.
This
is
the
only
vendor
whose
radio
stations
reach
the
community
safety
and
gun
violence
prevention,
division's
target
market
all.
C
Yes,
renewals
just
are
reported
within
the
packet
and
not
read
into
the
record.
A
D
We
will
be
having
a
public
safety
committee
meeting
May
the
16th,
where
we
will
receive
the
park
quarterly
report.
That's.
A
F
G
Yes,
my
name
is
Mike
Smith
I
live
in
District
three
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition
I,
represent
the
state
of
Tennessee
for
the
National
Alliance
and
homelessness
on
their
Leadership
Council
I'm
come
tonight
because
on
June
27th
through
29th,
we
are
convening
Statewide
leadership
here
in
Chattanooga
for
our
conference,
it's
our
annual
education
conference
called
leading
the
way
home
Tennessee.
G
G
A
I'll
give
my
time
back
Mike
Mike.
What
is
the
when
is
the
event.
H
Joshua
capella
Shear
I'm,
an
advocate
for
unsheltered
Citizens
and
Community
I,
want
to
thank
Mike
personally
for
what
he's
doing.
I
got
his
email
and
I'm
gonna
make
every
effort
I
can
to
attend
that
event
and
again
I'll.
Second,
that
you
know
we're
both
basically
trying
to
do
the
same
thing.
All
of
us
basically
trying
to
help
folks,
and
so
this
is
what
he's
doing
as
a
leader
is.
What's
right,
you
know
getting
people
together
from
all
across
the
country,
not
just
this
community,
because
we
got
a
lot
of
people
that
care
here.
H
You
know
Innovation
is
about
including
others
and
creating
a
sense
of
change.
That
includes
ideas
that
possibly
haven't
thought
about
or
removing
some
of
those
barriers,
and
so
what
he's
doing
and
what
y'all
are
doing
and
showing
up
last
week,
I
think
at
the
public
event
where
the
mayor
spoke,
that's
really
showing
I
think
the
emphasis
from
a
political
aspect
priority
of
what
it
means
to
be
a
chattanoogan
and
to
care
for
other
people.
H
I
didn't
grow
up
in
Chattanooga,
I
moved
here,
I
think
12
years
ago,
after
serving
in
the
military
attended
UTC-
and
you
know
basically
when
the
terrorist
attacks
happened
in
July,
16
2015,
you
know,
I
saw
I,
saw
tragedy,
but
I
saw
a
Triumph.
H
I
saw
people
come
together
in
this
community,
and
I
saw
the
love
that
we
have
As
Americans
for
one
another
and
I
really
want
to
focus
on
not
waiting
until
it's
a
tragedy
to
have
that
Triumph
and
what
Mike's
doing
and
everybody
else
in
the
community
coming
together
help
right
here,
the
mayor
and
y'all:
that's
what
it
takes
really
to
work
together.
You
know
I've
done
a
lot
of
high-tech
stuff
and
low-tech
stuff.
You
know:
I
live
off-grid
myself
in
a
little
tiny
house.
You
know
I've
been
doing
that
for
quite
a
while.
H
I
can
sit
here
and
brag
about
other
things,
I've
accomplished,
but
basically,
when
you
work
hard
and
you
don't
quit,
that's
what
it's
all
about.
When
y'all
send
me
that
letter
and
said
you're,
gonna
arrest
me
for
building
these
tiny
homes,
I
went
and
ran
26
Miles,
because
I
didn't
know
what
else
to
do
and
at
the
end
of
it,
I
thought
I'd
feel
better,
but
I
didn't
actually
because
I
didn't
achieve
the
end
that
I
needed,
which
was
a
home
and
so
by
working
with
Mike
and
all
these
folks.
H
You
know
I've
been
out
this
for
quite
a
while
I
had
a
company
in
Chattanooga
started
and
that's
how
I
became
familiar
with
homeless
folks,
they
drive
past
my
business
with
a
shopping,
cart
and
it
started
out
by
waving
and
asking
if
I
could
help
out
and
they
worked
to
get
themselves
off.
The
street
and
I
looked
for
six
years
for
those
people
and
I
found
them
working
down
at
the
community
kitchen.
So
when
you
invest
in
folks,
you
get
a
payback.
H
So
when
Brett
comes
here,
he's
off
working
right
now,
he's
doing
he's
supposed
to
he's
just
one
person
I'm,
just
one
person
we're
all
just
individuals
and
when
you
help
an
individual,
you
don't
know
what
that
person
can
do.
We
all
fall
short.
We
can
be
the
strongest
Olympian
in
the
world,
but
if
you
get
a
cold
or
a
flu
or
something,
how
are
you
going
to
run
a
marathon?
H
You
know
so,
if
you're,
fine
somebody
in
your
family
dies
and
or
you
lose
a
child
or
a
parent,
you
know
that's
a
really
hard
thing
to
do
so.
Going
into
work
is
a
hard
thing
to
do.
Sometimes
so
when
people
slip
up
or
they
get
in
the
car
wreck,
I
was
in
a
car
wreck
at
no
fault
of
my
own.
It
took
me
eight
months
to
recover
from
that.
Unfortunately,
I
had
some
family
and
support.
You
know
and
I
know:
Chattanooga's
got
my
back
now.
I've
got
Chattanooga's
back
and
I
know.
H
I
I
They
have
been
cited
and
we
had
a
court
date
last
week.
We
did
everything
that
we
were
asked
to
do
before
the
court
date,
which
was
to
document
and
record
the
sound
noises,
and
we
even
did
sound
decibels
from
outside
homes
inside
homes.
Everything
that
we
could
when
we
got
to
court.
The
City
attorney
asked
us
to
come
back
to
a
conference
room.
We
got
into
the
conference
room
and
he
basically
told
us.
We
were
wasting
our
time
that
they
had
an
attorney
and
regardless,
if
we
won,
they
were
going
to
appeal.
I
If
they
appealed
it
was
going
to
be
another
two
to
three
months
before
it
went
back
again.
If
we
won,
they
were
going
to
appeal
again.
He
basically
said
you're
not
going
to
get
anything
done
in
this
courtroom
for
a
period
of
six
months
and
we've
already
waited
five
months.
This
is
a
period
of
almost
a
year,
11
months
that
this
business
has
been
allowed
to
violate
the
ordinance.
I
That
is
there
for
the
peace
and
enjoyment
of
everyone's
community,
and
it
is
impossible
to
enjoy
your
home
when
you
hear
barking
dogs
loudly
outside
your
window,
your
porch
every
single
day
every
one
of
you
get
to
go
home
to
your
home
as
a
retreat
to
relax
and
and
rest,
and
we
go
to
our
homes
and
it's
a
torture
chamber
that
we
cannot
escape
from
because
it's
right
outside
our
front
door.
Our
homes
have
become
our
prisons
and
we
can't
seem
to
do
anything
about
it.
I
And
while
we
are
very
grateful
for
the
dog,
ordinance,
The
Barking
ordinance
and
you
just
passed
another
one
for
residents,
it
is
nothing
it's
meaningless
and
we
were
told
that
we
didn't
even
get
to
speak
in
the
courtroom.
The
attorney
spoke,
the
owner
of
the
business
spoke,
but
we
didn't
even
get
to
say
anything
and
now
that
they
have
another
60
days
to
try
to
do
something
about
it,
which
means
we
have
another
60
days
to
listen
to
the
awful
barking.
I
That's
been
going
on
and
they've
been
there
for
five
months
to
think
that
they
have
any
intention
of
doing
anything
when
they
haven't
done
anything
for
the
entire
period
of
time
that
they've
been.
There
is
really
just
it's
a
joke,
because
they
they
clearly
don't
have
any
intention,
even
with
the
citation
that
they've
got
and
waiting
for
court
date,
dogs
barking
every
single
day
they
don't
care.
Thank
you.
A
E
You,
madam
chair,
so
if
you're
you
you
have,
you
said
we,
you
have
a
group,
a
neighborhood
association.
E
We
have
a
group,
yes,
has
anyone
spoken
to
you
about
a
private
action,
a
cease
and
desist
going
to
court
yourselves?
No!
Well,
you
might
talk
among
your
your
colleagues
in
the
area.
It
may
be
that
sometimes,
unfortunately,
City
Court
isn't
the
place
to
go
for
what
you
want
and
very
often
it's
private
actions
that
are
effective.
I
F
One
of
the
issues
in
city
court
is
that
there
is
just
simply
a
50
fine
for
each
offense
in
that
regard,
and
what
councilman
Burrs
is
referring
to
is
there
may
be
potentially
a
nuisance
action
that
can
be
filed
to
avoid
that
if
it's
a
continuing
offense
and
that
has
got
a
lot
more
teeth
to
it
than
just
a
fifty
dollar
fine.
So
if
you'll
contact
Mr
Smith
in
our
office
at
least,
we
can
try
to
at
least
get
you.
The
sections
that
would
allow
that
to
occur.
F
J
Good
evening,
Council
persons,
Joe
Hunter
9001,
will
come
to
court,
but
I'm
here
today
actually
to
celebrate
and
let
you
know
what
God
has
done
through
my
hands.
My
head,
my
feet
and
your
funds.
J
Last
time,
I
was
here,
I
offered
to
stay
a
couple
more
years,
but
my
skills
were
no
longer
wanted,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
on
so
I'm
retiring
as
a
Friday.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
do
use
my
God
gifts
to
help
your
children.
We've
helped
save
many
lives
at
this
point.
No
one's
talking
to
your
young
men
and
young
ladies
who
are
in
the
streets
with
pistols,
marijuana
and
drink.
J
But
at
this
point,
I'm
moving
on
to
write
books
and
build
homes
and
a
camp
in
Tuskegee
Alabama,
that's
where
I'm
headed
so
but
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
all.
As
a
city
as
Council
Andy
Berg
brought
me
here,
we
were
very
successful
in
our
work
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
and
give
God
praise,
and
thanks
on
the
public
record
that
we
were
successful
in
doing
that.
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
