how
I
we
appreciate

We
have
the

that

really
going

open
up
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
handle

it's
going
to
make
us
have
a
healthier

safer
neighborhood.

Parks
and

met

we
had
an
outstanding
presentation
by
scott
and.
B
That
concludes
committee
reports
and
that
does
conclude
our
ordinances
and
resolutions.
For
this
evening,
we
will
now
move
into
recognition
a
person's
wishing
to
address
the
council.
If
there's
anyone
who
wishes
to
address
counsel
this
evening,
would
you
please
start
to
come
forward,
and
while
we
do
that,
mr
attorney,
will
you
read
the
rules
for
public
speaking?
Please.
G
Yes,
sir,
at
the
end
of
every
council
business
meeting,
the
chair
recognizes
members
of
the
public
that
wish
to
address
the
council
and
here's
your
rules.
Each
speaker
wishing
to
address
the
council
can
only
be
recognized
at
the
microphone
up
front.
Provided
for
that
purpose.
No
person
can
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak.
The
speaker
may
address
the
council
only
upon
matters
within
the
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
authority
of
the
council
and
not
upon
matters
which
are
not
under
the
authority
of
the
council
or
which
are
regulated
by
other
governmental
bodies.
G
The
speaker
is
not
permitted
to
use
any
vulgar
or
obscene
language
nor
use
the
floor
to
personally
denigrate
or
personally
attack
others.
The
speaker
should
address
the
council
as
a
whole
and
not
make
comments
directed
towards
individual
council
members.
Anyone
wishing
to
address
the
council
can
only
do
so
once
a
day
and
you
can't
have
any
disorderly
conduct
or
disrupting
a
public
meeting
which
is
prohibited
by
tennessee
law.
G
H
H
Why
do
you
get
out
of
bed
every
morning
and
why
should
anyone
care
people
don't
buy?
What
you
do
they
buy?
Why
you
do
it
simon,
sinek?
It's
a
great
book
called
start
with.
Why,
if
you
haven't
read
that
you
should
also
pick
up
the
infinite
game
as
well,
but
today
I
wanted
to
talk
about
our
city
is
in
peril.
This
sunday
we
had
an
article
published
in
the
paper
that
the
majority
of
students
in
hamilton
county
according
to
standardized
tests,
are
filling
one
or
more
subjects.
H
That
is
a
direct
byproduct,
not
only
of
hamilton
county
because
we
put
the
responsibility
on
them,
but
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
is
that
we
are
seeing
manifested
through
crime
that
young
people
are
participating
in
crime,
younger
and
younger,
as
the
years
are
going
by.
This
is
not
a
mistake.
It's
not
a
county
problem,
it's
all
of
our
problem
and
I
think
it's
very
unfortunate
for
us
to
see
what
is
happening
manifest
through
schools
that
are
crumbling
in
our
districts.
H
H
What
are
supposed
to
be
the
people
who
are
going
to
take
up
the
mantle
of
responsibility
in
the
community,
and
the
thing
is
what
doesn't
look
like
a
problem
today
manifests
itself
as
a
problem
later
on
down
the
line,
and
this
is
just
one
of
many
issues
like
gun
violence
that
is
continuing
to
go
on
homelessness,
food
deserts,
just
problems
are
compounding
in
our
district,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
maybe
something
you've,
never
done
that
you
could
possibly
do
to
see
about
how
you
can
solve
problems.
H
There
was
a
question
asked
by
a
certain
council
person
that
they
didn't
really
understand
what
public
commentary
is,
for
it's
actually
an
opportunity.
It's
for
me.
It's
a
smorgasbord
of
information.
I
would
ask
for
the
memo
notes
on
a
monthly
basis.
I
would
want
to
see
for
the
people
specifically
in
my
district.
What
are
the
common
issues
that
they're
talking
about
consistently?
H
Then?
I
would
ask
for
all
the
mmo
notes
from
everybody
that
comes
up
from
public
commentary
to
see
what
are
the
common
things
that
they're
talking
about,
and
you
can
key
search
for
words
like
by
typing
control:
f
on
your
computer,
homelessness,
gun,
violence,
various
different
things,
and
when
you
see
trends
or
things
that
are
coming
up
persistently,
that
means
that
that
is
a
consistent
issue
that
people
are
concerned
about
and
that's
how
you
go
about
thinking
about
what
problems
need
to
be
solved
in
our
community.
H
I
Hello,
joshua
capelas
here
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
unsheltered
citizens
in
this
community,
our
homeless.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today
I
have
been
a
resident
of
the
chattanooga
area
for
12
years
and
today
I
travel
approximately
112
miles
to
be
here.
I
live
outside
the
area,
and
sometimes
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
homeless.
Here,
sometimes
I
feed
and
clothe.
Sometimes
I
build
little
emergency
shelters,
but
I'm
never
far
enough
away
to
forget
about
my
friends
who
are
unsheltered,
we're
all
created
equal.
I
I
Pursuit
of
happiness
is
a
fundamental
right
in
the
declaration
of
independence,
so
long
as
you
do
not
violate
the
rights
of
others
under
the
fourth
amendment
of
the
constitution,
warrantless
searches
or
seizure
seizures
are
prohibited.
The
supreme
court,
the
ninth
district
court,
made
it
so
that
it's
not
illegal
to
be
homeless
or
indigent
or
poor.
Poorness
is
not
a
crime
that
includes
here
in
chattanooga.
I
I
The
time
is
now
to
act
and
even
violate
certain
rules
in
the
process
of
discovery
of
better
ones.
I
know
from
experience
it
is
easier
to
ask
for
forgiveness
than
to
permission
by
working
with
the
public.
You
can
charge
people
like
me
with
crimes
for
helping
the
homeless,
so
you
don't
get
in
trouble.
You
can
call
me
november
1st.
Is
the
deadline
it'll
be
cold?
I
I
We
are
all
in
this
together
to
form
a
more
perfect
union
to
support
individual
human
rights
is
the
basis
of
why
we're
here-
and
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
homeless,
because
I
care
deeply
about
them.
I
form
friendships
with
them,
just
as
you
would
anybody
else.
I
care
about
them
as
if
they're
my
children,
my
parents,
my
brothers
and
my
sisters
are
just
random
people.
I
have
a
great
calling
to
help.
I
J
So
I'm
john
john,
I
live
in
highland
park
in
1995,
700
chicagoans
died
in
one
of
the
worst
heat
waves
in
america
and
the
sociologist
eric
kleinberg
said
that
this
was
not
a
natural
disaster,
but
a
social
one.
The
number
one
determining
factor
is
to
whether
or
not
an
at-risk
person
would
die
from
this
heat
wave
was
social
capital,
and
I
can't
help
but
hear
my
ear
being
bent
from
the
two
people
who
spoke
before
me
about
the
continuity
between
these
ideas
and
how
they
affect
our
community.
J
It's
a
lack
of
access
to
home
and
food
security
and
the
lack
of
access
to
interaction
among
your
community,
but
there
are
two
types
of
social
capital
there's
bonding
and
there's
bridging.
If
I
like
florida
state
and
you
like
the
tennessee
volunteers,
we
have
a
bonded
social
capital
and
are
disdained
for
the
florida
gators.
J
This
brings
us
together
as
a
group
and
there's
many
types
of
things
that
bond
people.
At-Risk
communities
are
bonded
together
and
their
social
capital
helps
them
survive,
but
there's
a
second
type
of
social
capital
and
that's
bridging
social
capital.
So
if
I
go
to
church
with
someone
who's
a
florida
gator,
maybe
our
theological
sameness
is
enough
to
overcome
the
difference
between
our
sports
teams.
J
Bonding
social
capital
helps
groups
survive.
Bridging
social
capital
helps
groups
thrive.
I
was
born
in
a
pre
to
a
pretty
poor
family.
I
was
one
of
nine
kids,
neither
my
parents,
graduated
college.
We
didn't
have
centralized,
centralized
heating
or
air,
but
somehow
I
went
to
college
graduated
when
I
was
29,
I
own
a
home,
and
I
have
a
pretty
good
job
and
a
study
recently
came
out.
J
That
said,
the
number
one
determining
factor
for
a
poor
person
that
can
break
that
cycle
is
proximity
or
bridging
social
capital
to
people
who
can
help
them
out,
and
that's
definitely
true
with
me.
While
I
was
poor
and
monetary
in
the
monetary
sense
growing
up,
I
was
rich
in
relationships
and
those
relationships
help
pulled
me
out
when
we
look
at
our
communities.
J
J
Libraries,
for
example,
though,
have
been
around
for
a
while
they've
been
some
kind
sometimes
referred
to
as
palaces
of
the
people,
because
they
bring
about
both
bonding
and
bridging
social
capital.
Transportation
focused
solely
on
subsidizing.
The
car
can
create
disparate
distances
between
food
sources
and
create
food
deserts
that
depletes
people
of
their
social
capital.
J
So,
in
summary,
I
think
up
zoning
public
transportation
and
getting
rid
of
things
like
minimize
minimum
parking
requirements
can
play
a
small
small
role
in
bringing
tight-knit
communities
together
and
bridging
the
gap
between
disparate
communities.
Bonding
social
capital
helps
people
survive.
Bridging
social
capital
helps
communities
thrive.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
