Item
B.

C

Thank
you,
madam
chair,
as
I
was
mulling
over
the
pops
plan.
The
lyrics
to
the
old
song
Big
Yellow
Taxi
came
to
my
mind
where
they
Paradise
and
put
up
a
parking
lot
and
they
took
all
the
trees
and
they
put
them
in
a
museum
and
then
the
lyrics
go
on
to
say:
don't
it
always
seem
to
go
that
you
don't
know
what
you've
got
until
it's
gone
and
I
think
what
this
pop
plan
does
is
help
preserve
some
of
paradise
that
we
have
here
in
Chattanooga.
G
It's
a
bold
plan
and
I
appreciate
Mr
Martin,
bringing
that
to
us
and
the
mayor
and
with
that
I.
So
I
moved
for
approval.
C
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair
councilman
Henderson,
you
said
it
very
well.
This
is
an
important
and
gold
plan.
A
I'm
excited
to
be
a
small
part
of
this
and
I
appreciate
councilwoman
coonrod
two
years
ago,
saying
what's
going
on
with
the
parks
plan
and
getting
it
back
on
the
agenda,
making
sure
that
it
was
important,
so
I
look
forward
to
talking
about
it
more
and
more
and
more
with
my
district
I
think
they'll
be
really
excited.
Thank.

E
I
A
C
B
So,
at
the
end
of
every
Council
business
meeting,
the
chair
will
recognize
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
address
the
council.
Here's
your
rules,
each
speaker
would
be
addressed.
The
council
can
only
be
recognized
as
microphone
up
front.
That's
provided
for
that
purpose.
You
can't
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak
and
you
can
only
address
the
council
upon
matters
within
their
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
authority
and
not
upon
matters
which
are
not
under
the
authority
of
the
council
or
regulated
by
other
governmental
bodies
or
agencies.
B
Don't
engage
in
any
vulgar
obscene
language
nor
use
the
floor
to
personally
attack
or
personally
denigrate.
Others
address
your
comments
to
the
council
as
whole
and
not
make
comments
directed
towards
individual
council
members
and,
lastly,
do
not
engage
in
disorderly
conduct
or
disrupting
a
public
meeting
which
is
prohibited
under
Tennessee
law,
and
someone
commits
that
offense
if
a
person
substantially
obstructs
or
interferes
with
the
meeting
by
physical
action
or
verbal
utterance,
with
the
intent
to
prevent
or
disrupt
a
lawful
meeting
or
gathering.
Having
stated
those
rules
do
we
have
anybody
that
wants
to
talk?
Please.
J
Good
evening,
good
evening,
Freddie
Brooks
with
the
International
Association
of
black
professional
firefighters,
the
camp
is
here
so
July
the
second.
We
look
to
see
every
last
one
of
you
in
attendance.
We
have
something
for
you.
Alan
will
speak
on
the
rest
of
that.
K
But
anyway,
the
campus
here
we've
been,
we
are
excited
about
it.
We've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work.
We
got
a
bunch
of
members
coming
from
all
over
the
country.
First,
let
us
say
we
appreciate
the
council.
We
appreciate
the
fire
department.
The
community
has
been
super.
Supportive
of
everything
we
put
out
of
the
participation
is
just
more
than
we
what
we
expected
and
we're
still
getting
applications
in,
even
though
we
closed
the
process
Saturday.
K
So
that's
a
good
thing,
we're
not
mad
at
that
we're
going
to
be
at
Booker,
T
Washington
for
five
days.
Of
course,
everything
is
going
to
be
taken
care
of
the
biggest
thing
that
we
want
everyone
to
take
away
from
this
Camp,
not
just
the
parents
in
the
community,
but
the
campers
is
that
this
is
not
a
time
for
babysitting
noise
at
the
time
just
for
pure
fun,
it's
a
five
days
of
enrichment,
that's
communication,
skills,
critical
thinking,
leadership,
Independence
and
one
of
my
team
building
collaboration.
K
So
everything
you
all
see
in
the
agenda
that
we
sent
out
was
strategically
planned,
meaning
every
activity
is
going
to
be
centered
around
around
those
five
components.
For
the
count,
no
downtime,
except
when
it's
time
to
go
to
bed,
of
course
they
have
a
break,
but
even
during
that
break
time,
we're
going
to
encourage
something
around
those
five
components
of
the
account.
It's
ready,
I'm
gonna
shut
up
and
let
you
go
now.
J
So
it's
stated
in
the
camp,
as
you
see
in
your
house
document
the
agenda
we're
going
to
do
some
things
like
the
elevator
speech,
we're
going
to
get
kids
a
note
that
night
for
a
speech
for
them
to
talk
on
for
about
two
or
three
minutes.
That's
gonna
be
every
day.
There's
no
electronics
allowed
at
this
camp.
Like
Alan
said
it's
a
a
long
day
and
it's
truly
a
long
day
for
me,
because
I
really
don't
even
like
kids.
J
Anymore,
my
youngest
baby
gonna
be
26
tomorrow
or
so
it's
just
a
whole
new
process.
That's
why
I
brought
Alan
them
on
board
so
that
they
can
counter
talk
to
the
kids,
because
everything
that
you
just
read
about
not
to
get
up
and
say
up
here,
that's
the
way
I
am
and
the
way
I
was
with
kids
back
in
the
days,
and
you
can't
be
that
way.
No
more!
So
those
things
that
we're
gonna
have
our
kids
to
respect
law
enforcement
was
just
to
respect
their
Community.
J
We
want
our
kids
to
be
equity
in
their
Community.
That's
why
we're
doing
some
of
these
things,
but
we
would
be
greatly
appreciative
if
you
all
would
show
up.
I
know
you
all
are
very
busy,
but
that's
why
we
gave
you
that
agenda
just
picking
choose
what
day
you
want
to
come
and
we'll
be
happy
to
see
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
y'all.
Thank.
C
L
Yes,
it's
a
joyous.
It's
a
hot
evening
tonight
nice
and
warm
I
like
a
Montebello,
the
homeless
journalist,
the
gray-haired
fox,
the
man
with
the
billion
dollar
voice.
I,
guess
I've
got
more
questions
than
statements
tonight
here.
The
first
of
June
I,
submitted
to
the
office
of
the
City
attorney.
L
The
same
syllabus
that
you
all
use
to
arrest
me
last
year
on
June,
the
21st
of
2022.,
just
the
other
day,
I
got
a
response
from
the
office
of
the
City
attorney
and
suggested
that
of
let's
see,
97
cv0490
montebell
versus
Lauren
starstright
went
up
there
earlier
today
that
business
doesn't
exist,
but
I
was
charged
with
registration
violation,
17
c820
in
the
Circuit
Court,
by
the
way
I'm
proceeding
Pro
Se.
That
means
I'm
not
ever
going
to
ask
any
attorney
in
the
state
of
Tennessee
or
the
United
States
of
America.
L
To
defend
me
against
all
of
this
fraud.
17
c820
Mr
attorney.
That's
a
city
mayor.
In
fact,
all
of
these
five
things
that
you're
going
to
be
flunked
for
and
given
Red
use
and
conduct,
or
our
city
allegations
against
money
Bill.
So
no
I'm,
not
taking
the
legal
advice
of
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
contact
Reuben
Taylor.
At
this
time,
I'm
going
to
flonk
Reuben
Taylor,
the
former
mayor
of
the
county,
the
entire
County
Commission
on
tomorrow.
L
So
the
treasury
Department
can
start
looking
at
some
properties
around
here,
particularly
where
you
all
have
stolen
the
life
of
Lonnie
Bell.
744
Macaulay
Avenue
I
just
took
a
photograph
of
my
new
building
right
here
on
Main
Street
I
got
one
one
across
from
UTC.
In
fact,
I've
got
several
buildings
you're.
All
that
got
a
purchase
on
my
behalf
on
the
capital
for
UTC,
for
fraud
on
the
entire
11
Judicial
District
Court.
These
are
all
of
the
charges
you
all
charged
me
with
on
last
year.
There's
five
I
need
more
time.
L
Madam
chair,
Andy,
Burke,
Ron,
Littlefield,
John
Kinsey.
These
are
all
City
Mayors,
Tiny,
Tim,
Tim
Kelly.
These
are
City
Mayors,
no
I
don't
have
to
go
to
the
state,
Hamilton
County
or
anywhere.
For
you
to
answer
these
charges.
Mr
attorney
you've
been
here
a
long
time.
In
fact,
you've
been
here
since
the
beginning.
You
are
the
enmity
in
the
life
of
Bonnie
Bell,
the
homeless
journalist,
the
Greg
hurt
Fox,
the
man
with
the
billion
dollar
voice
and
I
want
my
money
and
I.
Thank
you
I.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
You
hello,
hello,
I'm,
Torino,
Coco
and
I
work
for
the
city
I'm
coming
forward
about
this
step
plan.
You
have
people,
who's
got
three
years
and
under
is
making
more
than
people
who
got
five
years
and
up
so
I
want
to
know.
What
are
we
going
to
do
about
that?
You
got
some
people
who
got
more
time
and
they're
getting
less
of
pay
and
we're
truck
drivers
so
I
need
to
know
what
are
it
needs
to
be
something
check
that
about
that
and
done
all.
N
Hello,
my
name
is
Stacy
Smith
and
I'm.
The
assistant
second
Chief
of
the
union
and
I'm
here
about
the
step
plan.
People
I
have
people
coming
to
meet
with
questions.
I
have
a
gentleman
here
been
here
17
years,
one
been
here:
six,
the
one
the
six
is
making
more
than
the
one
in
17
years
and
he's
trying
to
understand.
How
is
this
working
because
you
have
people
working
less
making
more
than
the
ones
that's
been
there,
so
they
need
they're
trying
to
get
a
clarification
of
this
step
plan.
N
And
how
did
they
go
about
doing
this
because
you
have
a
person,
that's
been
here
for
20
or
30
years,
and
one
that's
making
been
here,
maybe
10
or
15.
They
don't
did
a
twenty
thousand
dollar
jump
over
them
and
they're
trying
to
make
that
make
sense.
I
don't
have
an
answer
for
them,
so
they
need
to
understand.
You
know
how
they
did
this
step
plan
and
how
did
they
go
about
because
there's
no
win
at
the
ones?
That's
been
there,
because
if
you've
been
there
long,
you
get
nothing,
you
don't
get.
N
No
three
percent
the
living
cost
of
living
raise
and
you
don't
get
a
raise
if
you've
been
there
more
than
40
years.
You
come
out
with
nothing.
Nothing
so
I,
don't
understand
how
they
did
this
I
needed
to
make
sense
to
me.
So
I
can
explain
it
to
them
when
they
come
to
me,
because
it
don't
make
sense
how
they
done
this
step.
Then
it's
not
equal
for
everybody.
N
O
O
The
CPD,
accounting
and
federal
practice
range
across
River,
Echoes
and
Austin's,
often
wakes
us
up.
Before
Sunrise
I
served
in
the
United
States
Peace
Corps
in
Zambia
Africa
from
2003
2005
and
I
suffered
from
PTSD
and
anxiety
attacks.
O
Several
of
my
neighbors
in
the
towers
near
me
also
served
honorably
overseas
and
Korea
and
or
Vietnam
their
pathy
is
triggered,
and
this
is
an
unnecessary
gun.
Barber
Before
Dawn.
It
happened
many
times
in
the
past
decade
with
the
Overlook
apartments.
For
eight
years
it
happened
at
5am
Sunday
morning
and
I'm
thinking.
This
is
a
day
of
rest.
Is
it
necessary?
O
I
was
just
wondering.
If
not
maybe
you
know
asking
for
the
firing
range
to
be
moved
is
excessive.
I
would
think
I
think.
Perhaps
if
we
could,
you
know
maybe
wait
till
the
sun
comes
up
before
the
guns
go
up
or
something,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I've
already
collected
some
signatures
for
a
petition
from
focusing
by
building
and
I
can
continue
and
come
back
next
Tuesday,
but
I
just
wanted
to
close
by
saying.
I've
got
a
minute
in
30
seconds,
so
I
appreciate
your
attention.
O
The
sacred
text
does
not
say
blessed.
Are
the
noise
makers?
It
reads:
blessed
are
the
peacemakers
in
that
same
spirit,
I
would
like
to
preserve
the
final
few
minutes,
one
minute
and
eight
seconds
of
my
time
as
a
silent
meditation
on
the
well-being
and
right
to
peace
and
quiet
of
all
our
city
citizens,
all
of
whom
are
your
brothers
and
sisters
in
our
one
human
family.
O
F
I,
don't
know
how
to
actually
put
this
and
I'm
gonna
start
out.
Mr
King
remember
last
year
you
said
who
all
and
who
all
did
not
agree
with
this
stuff
playing
or
just
pay
plan
and
I
said:
oh
okay,
I
do
I'm
waiting
for
the
fine
police
to
get
what
they
wanted
long
next
year
that
they
include
of
long-term
people.
F
F
F
F
So
something
got
to
be
done
about
this
and
I
I.
Don't
know
how
y'all
can
fix
it
now
unless
y'all
get
enough
folks
to
send
it
back
to
to
them
to
make
them
fix
it
or
freeze
or
freeze
the
budget.
But
something's
got
to
be
done
because
you
know
it.
It
brings
down
morale
when
you've
been
here
this
long
and
then
so
you
got
other
people
that
you
training
and
trying
to
show
them
how
to
do
things
and
how
to
do
it
safely
and
everything
else,
and
then
so
they
making
60
000
you're
making.
F
You
know
when
you're
gonna
take
care
of
us
Old-Timers,
as
everybody
calls
me,
I'm
the
old-timer
and
I'm,
not
the
only
one,
a
lot
of
the
guys.
They
were
scared
to
come
down
here
because
of
retaliation,
but
like
I
told
them
as
long
as
you
do
your
job.
You
ain't
got
to
worry
about
retaliation
and
that's
what
I
do
I
do
my
job
and
I
think
I.
Do
it
well
because
I
know
my
supervisors
anytime,
something
goes
wrong
and
they
can't
get
something.
They
call
me
to
go
see
if
I
can
get
it
so
now.
