Whereas
the
effort
to
grant
voting
rights
to
women
began
as
protests
against
inequality
and
spread
across
the
united
states
into
a
national
movement
beginning
in
1848
and
culminating
in
the
passage
of
the
19th
amendment
72
years
later.
Whereas
tennessee
was
the
final
state
needed
for
ratification
of
the
amendment
and
after
a
difficult
fight
in
the
tennessee
legislature,
added
its
name
to
the
states
determined
to
reduce
inequality
in
the
country
and
extend
universal
suffrage
to
women
and
whereas
many
tennesseans
devoted
themselves
to
the
passage
of
the
amendment,
including
many
leaders
from
hamilton
county.
Whereas
august
18th.
B
Now,
therefore,
I
andy
burke
mayor
of
chattanooga
tennessee,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
day
august
18th
2020
in
honor
of
the
women's
suffrage
movement
and
the
passage
of
the
19th
amendment
to
the
u.s
constitution
and
call
upon
all
citizens
to
recognize
his
historic
accomplishment
and
to
be
reminded
that
the
efforts
of
these
women
made
a
difference
and
know
the
joy
that
comes
with
every
step
toward
equality
for
all.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
F
F
So
most.
Definitely
it
is
a
historical
moment
for
me.
I
I
gotta
say
once
I
regained
my
right
to
vote.
I
didn't
take
for
granted
not
one
time
to
not
cast
my
vote
if
the
rain
didn't
stop
me
from
casting
my
vote,
and
I
just
encourage
everybody
if
your
rights
have
been
taken
away
from
voting.
Please
get
your
rights
restored
to
vote.
That's
very
important.
Stop
saying
that
your
vote
doesn't
matter
because
it
does
it
does
when
we're
when
we're
looking
back
at
our
grandmothers,
that's
in
their
80s
and
90s.
F
This
is
why
you
know
they
fought
100
year.
They
were
able
to
obtain
that
vote
and
that's
why,
on
every
sunday,
every
vote
and
they
put
on
a
sunday
outfits
to
make
sure
that
they
go
vote
at
the
election
commission
or
wherever
the
voting
polls
are
and
we
have
to
get.
We
have
to
do
the
exact
same
thing
to
make
sure
that
our
voices
are
heard
through
our
vote.
G
G
The
capture
of
emotion
and
display
of
governmental
procedure
is
something
I
highly
encourage
all
tennessee
citizens
to
watch
with
representation
of
pro
and
anti-suffrage
and
activists.
This
reenactment
is
certainly
a
treasure
not
to
miss
being
able
to
see
the
on
the
floor,
political
tactics
in
procedure
to
the
energy
unleashed
during
the
war
of
the
roses.
This
is
a
unique
opportunity
to
relive
a
moment
in
history
and
see
the
passion
for
change
unfold
before
your
eyes.
G
F
A
F
We
go
chair.
I
also
wanted
to
announce
that
I
don't
know
if
you
all
are
aware
that
our
president
president
trump,
he
announced
that
he
will
be
having
an
executive
clemency
departing
susan
b,
anthony
who
went
to
jail
in
1872
for
voting
back
then,
and
she
was
she
always
advocated
for
women
that
went
to
jail
for
extra
for
trying
to
vote.
She
advocated
for
those
women
to
be
exonerated
to
have
clemency,
but
she
never
advocated
for
herself
so
he's
going
to
sign
that
executive
order.
So
just
wanted
to
share
that.

A

A

Thank
you.
So
I
appreciate
taking
the
comments
here.
I
have
ken
defour
with
me
and
has
maybe
a
few
of
you
know.
Ken's
hearing
is
not
the
best,
and
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
give
him
comments
that
y'all
get
our
audio
here
is
not
the
strongest.
So
ken's
got
some
things
that
he
would
like
to
say
and
then
I
will
try
to
help
out
as
it
relates
to
any
comments
or
questions
that
council
may
have.
If
that's.
A
Okay,
I'll
tell
you
what
let's,
let's
hold
on
for
one
second
councilman
leftward
we're
getting
a
little
bit
unorthodox
here.
Yes,
sir,
let
me
allow
the
attorney
to
read
the
rules
since
we're
going
to
have
a
sounds
like
we're
going
to
have
a
public
hearing,
mr
attorney,
if
you
would
read
the
rules
for
the
applicant
and
I
guess
any
opposition
or
comment.
M
Yes,
sir,
normally
in
any
case
that
we
have
here,
there
is
a
presentation
by
the
member
of
the
staff
at
the
office
of
planning
and
development.
First
and
then
the
applicant
is
granted
a
seven
minute
opportunity
for
oral
presentation
and
they
have
two
minutes
for
rebuttal
for
a
total
of
nine
minutes.
The
spokespersons
for
any
opposition
has
a
total
amount
of
nine
minutes
time
that
will
occur
and
once
the
council
members
get
involved
in
their
discussion,
then
no
one
can
get
interrupt
that
discussion.
A
D
N
Well,
I
won't.
If
you
can
hear
me,
I
will
not
need
seven
minutes.
I
want
to
thank
the
commission
for
hearing
me
and
I
want
to
thank
darren
ledford,
my
commissioner
here
at
waterside
for
working
so
tirelessly
on
this
part
or
water
side
development
out
here
on
challenger
road.
All
I
really
wanted
to
say
is
this:
there's
this
big
hubbub
about
nature
road
and
has
been
going
on
for
some
time.
All
I
can
tell
you
is
there's
about
24,
more
acres
that
has
never
been
raided
at
waterside.
N
That
would
have
at
one
point
fed
into
the
main
body
of
waterside.
That
will
no
longer
happen.
Elam
road,
which
was
the
main
artery
to
take.
What
would
have
been
a
phase
two
or
phase
three
back
out
to
nature,
will
be
closed.
It
would
be
strictly
used
for
pedestrians.
I
think
only
over
24
acres,
only
four
acres,
but
it
would
remotely
be
considered
the
rest
of
the
properties
will
all
enter
and
exit
off
gun
barrel
if
they
want
to
get
into
into
water,
so
they
won't
really
be
affecting
that.
N
N
But
the
point
is
our
future
developments
will
not
impact
nature
drives
the
drury
brothers
hotel,
which
I
think
is
an
inappropriate
business
strictly,
because
it's
a
hotel
at
that
keys
intersection
should
have
been
something
else,
but
we
can't
control
that
they
have
their
rights.
They've
got
the
property
legally
and
fair
and
square,
and
certainly
have
the
right
to
be
zoned.
I
could
not
deny
that
right.
N
They
do
have
a
right
to
be
solved
and
I
wish
there'd
been
something
else
there,
but
that's
history,
but
they
have
the
right
to
be
zoned,
but
they
also
should
carry
the
burden
for
improving
nature.
With
that
said,
I
will
abide
what
my
commissioner
recommends
he's
been
through
this
for
some
time
and
I
believe
he'll
do
the
fair
and
the
right
thing
whatever
he
recommends
that
I'll
abide
by.
Thank.
D
A
K
G
G
Okay,
let
me
let
me
let
me
stop
you
before
you
begin
just
so
folks
know
and
again
at
three
o'clock
or
3
30
session.
I
thanked
everyone
very
much
on
this
council
for
allowing
me
the
flexibility
to
work
through
this
with
two
property
owners,
c,
dot,
t
dot
and
a
previous
ordinance
that
was
in
question
and
came
into
play.
So
this
has
been
worked
out
and
this
condition
satisfy
what
we
need
to
happen
here
tonight.
So
mr
attorney
go
ahead.
Yes,.
M
Cdot
has
confirmed
that
the

must
be
reconfigured
to

phases
in
order
to
mitigate
the
impacts
set
forth
in
section
11b
of
ordinance
number
13110
cdot
will
require
a
one-time
fee
in
lieu
payment
to
mitigate
and
ameliorate
the
expected
traffic
pressure
being
caused
by
the
development
for
the
cost.
Reconfiguration
of
the
eastbound
left
turn
lane.
M
The
left
turn
traffic

to
add
a
dedicated
southbound
right
turn
lane
and
to

phases.
Such

of
the
property
at
7301,

provide
a
cap
to
the
owners
of
each
such
properties
not
to
exceed
40
000
or
such
amount
shall

increased
by
an
amount
equal
to
the
annual
increase
in
the

index
before

begins

M
G
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
amend
as
read
for
the
proper
second:
are
there
any
questions
or
concerns
councilman
lefford?
I
do
have
one
concern
or
a
question:
what
is
the
trigger?
I
know
that
the
money
has
to
be
collected
before
construction
begins.
What
ensures
that
we
do
collect
the
money.

I
Hi
good
evening,
thank
you
so
much
as
we
discussed
this
afternoon.
We
are
committed
to
helping
the
forgotten
child
fund,
find
a
new
long-term
facilities
solution
at
the
expiration
point
of
this
agreement
that
will
expire
in
february
2021..
Kelly
simmons,
is
the
president
of
the
forgotten
child
fund
is
agreeable
to
that
supports
that
which
we
are
extremely
grateful
for
their
patience
and
their
cooperation.
I
As
we
work
through
the
steps
on
this
project,
it's
obviously
pretty
complicated
and
we
need
their
support,
which
we
have
gotten,
so
we
are
working
with
them
on
a
number
of
scenarios
about
where
they
might
end
up.
I
don't
have
a
specific
solution
to
present
you
at
this
point,
but
we
will
have
one
by
february
of
2021.

I
personally

take
place
and
that
he
has
the

the

heads

It's
going

take
a

it's
going

be

difficult,

can
get
it
done

denigrate
others
and
address
the
council
as
a
whole
and
not
make
comments
directed
towards
individual
council
members.
So,
having
read
those
rules,
please
go
ahead
with
the
first
speaker:
hey.
H
District
8
mariemot.
Thank
you
so
much
council.
I
sent
you
guys
a
document
by
email
today
of
a
petition
that
I
started
on
behalf
of
black
women
and
women
in
general,
who
are
being
discriminated
against
at
the
9-1-1
call
center
in
our
city.
I
only
got
one
response,
and
that
was
from
mr
jerry
mitchell
and
councilman.
I
thank
you
for
your
response.
H
I
will
wait
the
others
for
you
guys
to
address
what
is
happening
and
what
you
plan
to
do
to
fix
the
policy
of
discrimination
against
something
as
simple
as
hair
color,
which
does
not
impact
a
person's
performance
on
the
job.
But
I
want
to
read
two
documents
today
that
are
a
reason
that
we
should
fight
injustice
and
a
justification
for
why
we
should
fight
injustice
on
march
18th
1958,
dr
martin
luther
king
jr,
gave
a
sermon
that
says
when
be
when
peace
becomes
obnoxious.
H
H
I
agreed
that
it
is
more
tension
now,
but
peace
is
not
merely
the
absence
of
this
tension,
but
the
presence
of
justice,
and
even
if
we
do
not
have
this
tension,
we
still
shouldn't
have
positive
peace.
Yes,
it
is
true
that
the
american
that
the
african-american
accepts
his
place
accepts
exploitation
and
injustice.
H
H
I
don't
want
it
if
peace
means
keeping
my
mouth
shut
in
the
midst
of
injustice
and
evil.
I
don't
want
it
if
peace
means
complacency
and
a
deadening
status
quo
and
accepting
it.
I
don't
want
it
if
peace
means
a
willingness
to
be
exploited,
economically,
dominated,
politically
humiliated
and
segregated.
I
don't
want
it.
We
hold
these
truths
to
be
self-evident,
that
all
men
are
created
equal,
that
they
are
endowed
by
their
creator
with
certain
unalienable
rights
that,
among
these
are
life
liberty
and
the
pursuit
of
happiness
that
to
secure
these
rights.
H
A
P
Yes,
I
said
I
was
muted
by
host,
I
was
uncertain.
My
name
is
casey
crook,
I'm
in
district
three.
I
I'm
calling
in
on
in
part
because
of
this
historic
anniversary
and
in
part,
two
somewhat
echo.
What
marie
mott
was
saying
that
it
is
important
to
recognize
not
only
anniversaries
such
as
this
when
women
were
constitutionally
granted
the
right
to
vote,
but
also
to
recognize
the
shortcomings
of
those
moments
and
and
the
costs
of
of
equity.
P
That
society
at
large
sees
those
the
african-american.
Women,
especially
were
notably
excluded
from
the
conventions
and
from
the
suffrage
movement,
and
had
to
have
several
separate
fights
in
order
to
secure
their
own
rights
to
vote,
as
councilwoman
kunrod
actually
earlier
earlier
alluded
to
with
the
voting
rights
act
which
has
been
under
attack,
but
that's
outside
of
the
purview
of
the
council
and
a
different
conversation.
P
But
I
think
what
what
is
important
for
the
council
to
consider
is
the
both
the
lagging
the
lagging
trails
of
equity
and
the
uncomfortable,
uncomfortable
conversations
and
uncomfortable
movements
forward
in
the
in
the
progress
of
equity.
So
there
were
many
conversations
by
counselors
earlier
of
literally.
P
What
is
the
cost
benefit
analysis
of
making
sure
that
this
public
good
is
equitable,
the
the
the
implication
of
which
being
is
it
actually
materially
worth
it
to
us
as
a
city
to
have
an
equitable
public
works
or
equitable
fee
structures
or
equitable
water
quality
structures,
or
anything
like
that?
And
that's
ridiculous
to
me.
I
I
I
I'm
calling
in
to
condemn
that
largely,
but
I
think
also
in
in
considering
this.
You
have
to
consider
again
and
I'm
sure
this
is
something
that
they
would
cover
in
your
racial
equity
training.
P
But
you
have
to
consider
why
something
makes
you
uncomfortable
like
what
what
hidden
inequities
you
have
within
yourself
and
that
you
don't
realize,
and
what
sorts
of
things
must
you
personally
and
individually
do
in
order
to,
especially
while
you're
in
a
position
of
power
in
order
to
prevent
perpetuating
those
things
and
prevent
those
inequities
becoming
much
larger
than
just
you
and
your
personal
interactions,
but
instead
becoming
institutional
inequities
and
and
institutional
failings.
And
so
I
call
on
the
council
to
move
forward
much
more
quickly.
