Chattanooga City Council Meeting — 04-26-22
C
Thank
you.
Man.
Maybe
we'll
have
a
word
of
prayer
by
your
heads,
please
heavenly
father.
We
come
to
you
this
evening
asking
for
your
guidance,
wisdom
and
support.
As
we
begin,
this
meeting
help
us
engage
in
meaningful
discussions,
allow
us
to
grow
closer
as
a
group
and
nurture
the
bonds
of
community.
C
A
D
Item
a
an
ordinance
to
amend
chattanooga
city
called
parchment
chapter
38
zoning
awareness.
So
it's
the
reason.
Three
unaddressed
properties
in
the
twelve
hundred
block
of
north
holes
cloud
avenue
from
our
four
specials
on
the
ugc
urban
general
commercial
zone.
Subject:
certain
conditions
item
b
an
ordinance
to
amend
chattanooga
city
code
part
two
chapter
38
zoning
ordinance.
So
that's
the
reason
property
located
at
1501
east
18th
street
from
r2
residential
zone
to
rtz
residential
townhouses.
There
are
a
lot
line
zone
subject
certain
conditions.
A
D
E
There's
a
question:
there's
a
lot
of
folks
out
there
concerned
did
we
did
we
have
adequate
time?
Did
we
investigate
this?
Thirdly-
and
it's
just
folks
are
concerned
about
this
rediscovery
now
it's
going
to
impact
their
lives
for
the
next
few
years,
so
it
doesn't
go
in
effect
until
three
years
from
now.
E
F
F
Went
through
the
whole
process
beginning,
oh
several
months
ago
there
was
a
proper
following
of
the
process
and
in
my
opinion,
I'm
only
one
of
nine.
There
was
adequate
notice
and
adequate
process.
You
you
were
part
of
it,
sir.
I
guess
I
could
ask
you
the
same
thing
but
yeah
you
were
on
the
original
committee.
G
You
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
knew
that
I
was
against
it.
I
didn't
vote
for
it,
so
I
opposed
it
and
the
reason
I'm
not
sure
the
same
sentiments
as
I
has
you
know,
shared
like.
I
think
that
it
was
kind
of
rushed.
We've
had
different
variations
of
this
map
and
with
limited
time
to
even
go
to
our
community
to
say
just
recently.
We
had
some
significant
changes
that
affected
eight
nine
and
seven.
So
you
know
no
engagement
was
able
to
take
place.
G
G
Our
communities
have
changed
significantly
and
we
should
be
at
a
point
now,
where
we're
not
just
limiting
10
council
districts
or
saying
we
only
would
be
accepting
of
three
majority
black
districts
and
because
we're
past
that
we've
exceeded
that,
and
I
think
that
the
numbers
reflect
that
and
I
would
like
to
have
been
presented
or
seen.
A
district
of
the
redistricting
amount
to
be
inclusive
of
all
the
council
people,
and
not
just
you,
know
a
committee
of
three.
G
I
think
it's
time
for
us
to
show.
If
we're
gonna
be
one
chattanooga,
our
council
district
should
reflect
one
chattanooga
and
it
just
shouldn't
be
limited
to
have
three
majority
black
districts.
Looking
at
the
data
it
and
I
believe
in
my
personal
opinion,
I
believe
that
it
puts
black
communities
at
a
disadvantage
economically,
because
we
have
the
one
that
our
districts
are
the
least
invested
in
when
it
comes
to
certain
areas
and
we're
not
able
to
we're
not
producing
a
great
fruit.
G
That's
needed
in
our
communities
for
us
to
thrive,
and
we
continue
to
be.
You
know
it.
Our
communities
are
declining
I'll,
say
that
and
we
shouldn't
just
be
all
grouped
to
be
at
58
or
so
majority
in
our
districts.
I've
heavily
stated,
like
I
had
concerns
about
1400
black
people
being
removed
from
ken
smith
district,
and
I
think
it
should
have
been
looked
at
differently.
I'm
not
sure
why
we're
in
a
rush
when
we
got
three
years
at
least
two
more
to
get
it
done.
G
I
think
it
should
take
time
our
district
eight
seat,
good,
which
in
transition
with
our
district
ac,
you
know
we
started
the
process.
Then
we
didn't
have
anyone
in
the
seat.
Then
we
appointed
somebody
to
be
in
the
seat
and
there's
going
to
be
an
election,
and
I
don't
think
that
it
will
be
fair
to
whomever
gets
elected
to
the
district
seat
to
not
have
the
opportunity
to
go
to
the
community
to
hear
their
concerns.
It's
not
fair
to
the
current
appointed
person
to
have
to
be
rushed
into
the
process
because
it
had
already
started.

Thank.
A
I
I
believe
that
is
correct.
We
have
five
items
this
evening
all
recommended
for
approval.
The
first
is
from
the
waste
resources
division
of
public
works.
The
request
is
for
a
six-month
extension
of
the
contract
for
mechanical
services.
With
h,
brown
and
acme
industrial
piping
incorporated
h,
h
brown
submitted
a
10
price
increase.
This
will
give
the
department
additional
time
to
prepare
for
a
new
bid.
The
annual
amount
is
not
to
exceed
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
The
second
is
also
from
public
works.
The
request
to
increase
purchase
order
for
propane
services
at
the
landfill
by
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
a
total
annual
amount
not
to
exceed
a
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
This
increase
is
needed
due
to
less
methane
being
produced,
causing
more
propane
to
be
used.
I
Third
is
from
the
parks,
maintenance,
division
at
parks
and
outdoors
requests
to
increase,
purchase
agreement
for
bulk
mulch
by
76
000
for
a
total
annual
amount
not
to
exceed
one
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
dollars.
This
contract
is
used
by
both
parks,
maintenance
and
citywide
services,
and
use
has
been
higher
than
originally
estimated.
I
I
This
will
be
a
four-year
contract
with
an
annual
amount
not
to
exceed
50
thousand
dollars.
The
fifth
and
final
purchase
is
from
the
fleet
management
division
for
cfd,
the
fire
department
purchase
of
one
mini
pumper
vehicle
for
the
fire
department.
This
purchase
utilizes
source,
well,
contract,
113021-okc.
A
A
F
We
start
the
budget
process
on
may
10th.
That's
when
the
budget
will
be
handed
out.
We
will
see
it
for
the
first
time
and
it
will
also
be
put
online
on
the
17th.
We
will
have
a
present.
Everything
is
is
public.
All
of
these
are
public
hearings
on
may
17th.
We
will
have
an
education
session
on
the
operating
budget
on
the
23rd,
the
capital
budget,
plus
any
outstanding
issues,
may
30th
will
be
public
input
at
council
meeting
at
six
o'clock
and
then
first
and
second
readings
follow
that
on
the
6th
and
the
13th.

Thank
you,
councilwoman
hill,
councilman
smith,
councilman
hester,
all
right.
That
concludes
our
committee
reports,
we're
now
at
the
time
in
our
agenda
session,
where
we
recognize
persons
wishing
to
address
the
council,
which
I
anticipate,
if
you
would
please
raise
your
hand
and
start
if
you
would
here
to
line
up
behind
the
podium
and
while
you're
coming
to
the
podium.
I
would
ask
madam
attorney
to
read
our
rules
and
you
she
would
do
that
now,
we'll
start
in
just
a
moment.
A
A
J
Tom
hazlett,
do
you
know
your
district?
It's
miss
hill's
district,
two
district,
two
tom
maisley
council
and
mr
chair
appreciate
the
chance
to
speak
to
you,
I'm
here
speaking
for
jim
and
pauline
martin,
who
are
here
with
me.
The
purpose
is
to
bring
the
council's
attention
the
city's
policy
of
individual
citizens
being
responsible
for
lateral
sewer
line,
repairs
that
occur
within
a
city
right-of-way
and
in
fact,
under
a
city
street
where
the
cost
of
repair
includes
tearing
up
and
restoring
the
street.
J
J
The
martins
are
surprised
to
learn
that
citizens
bear
the
cost
of
lateral
line,
repairs
that
are
needed
under
city
streets
and
they
were
stunned
by
the
cost,
mr
martin
retired,
from
providence
27
years
ago.
Mrs
martin
is
a
long
since
retired
third
grade
public
school
teacher.
In
fact
she
was
my
third
grade
teacher.
J
A
K
K
A
K
K
A
H
H
I
did
have
a
brief
conversation
with
councilwoman
hill
and
shared
with
her
the
process
that
we
took
when
this
happened.
In
my
district,
we
we
asked
the
homeowner
to
uncover
the
sewer,
lateral
and
let
the
plumbing
inspector
come
out
and
take
a
look
at
what
he
feels
like.
Maybe
could
have
caused
the
the
problem
and
then
write
up
a
report.
I
don't
know
if
you've,
I
don't
know
how
far
you
are
in
the
process,
but
that's
what
I
would
recommend
to
you.
K
H
L
L
L
D
D
L
M
M
I've
never
met
a
lot
of
people
whom
I
think
I've
met,
and
I
know
deep
in
everyone's
hearts
that
we
all
care
and
we're
here
for
a
reason
because
of
matters
that
are
important
to
us,
regardless
of
what
they
are,
but
god
instills
in
us
the
ability
to
love.
But
he
didn't
give
us
the
ability
to
calculate
what
that
looks
like
from
a
mathematical
standpoint
or
a
scientific
standpoint.
If
you
were
to
ask
a
mother
what
it's
like
to
love
her
newborn
baby
as
it
lays
on
her
chest
after
she
carried
it
for
nine
months.
M
As
a
man,
a
father
as
a
human
being,
I
can
stand
by
and
watch
a
woman
incubate
a
baby
and
become
a
perfect
person
in
the
eyes
of
god,
but
in
the
eyes
of
man.
Sometimes
it's
not
always
that
way
and
from
what
I've
learned
in
the
bible,
my
constitution
and
the
people
that
have
come
before
me
and
my
own
consciousness
that
I've
developed,
sometimes
alone
in
the
woods
where
I
prefer
to
be.
M
M
We're
all
equal
we're
all
in
this
together
and
everyone
in
the
bible
was
here
for
a
lifetime
and
those
people
on
their
phones
right
now
and
on
twitter
who
attack
me.
I've
worn
this
silly
jumpsuit,
because
I'm
going
to
ask
you,
would
you
prefer
me
to
be
in
a
business
suit
or
a
prison
suit,
because
I've
got
this
heavy
chain
around
my
neck,
which
is
not
comfortable?
Neither
is
the
tie.
That's
choking
me.
I
don't
prefer
either
one
I
prefer
to
help
you.
M
M
N
N
N
N

O
O
O
O
The
people
have
chosen
you
and
you
are
responsible
to
the
people.
Redistricting
is
one
of
the
most
serious
action
that
affects
the
people,
and
you
have
refused
to
inform
the
people.
Nor
did
the
naacp
receive
a
formal
response
to
the
total
request
to
this
elected
body.
As
an
old
gospel
song
says,
99
and
a
half
will
not
do
it
takes
100
to
run
the
rates
we
receive
50
and
it
will
not
do.
P
P
P
Knowing
that,
while
I
was
being
robbed
of
an
education
at
the
university
of
tennessee
at
chattanooga,
as
well
as
chattanooga
state
technical
community
college,
my
dear
friend,
by
the
name
of
lorenzo
irving
said,
I
know
in
certain
terms
money.
I've
got
to
change
this
form
of
government.
This
is
his
panel
and
he's
received
service
zero.
P
P
I
think
he
had
former
councilman
erskine's
oglesby
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
plans,
because
that's
all
you
all
have
been
doing
with
me
and
my
homeless,
encampment
playing
and
the
time
has
come
to
stop.
Don't
know
who
the
council
representative
is
I've
yet
to
meet
you
for
my
district
with
the
homelessness.
Q
Q
Q
Redlining
and
if
what
is
the
difference
between
redlining
and
redistricting
or
rezoning,
that's
my
first
question
number
two
related
to
voting.
What
is
the
difference
between
the
term
republic
and
republican
and
number
three
culture,
and
if
it
does,
how
would
you
define
it
and
that's
all
thank
you
for.
R
R
R
But
to
do
to
love
mercy,
and,
oh
my
god,
walk
humbly
with
your
god.
I
don't
think
if
you're
ignoring
the
people,
that's
justice,
I
don't
think
if
you're
ignoring
the
homeless,
that
that's
mercy,
and
I
don't
think
if
you
decide
to
vote
against
us
and
humbly
before
your
god,
but
for
the
power
that
you
have.
R
S
The
sunshine
law
applies
to
all
governing
bodies
with
the
authority
to
make
decisions
or
recommendations
to
a
public
body.
There
should
have
been
public
meetings.
These
were
not
casual
meetings
where
people
ran
into
each
other.
These
were
planned
meetings
in
which
staff
may
have
been
asked
questions
council
meeting
where
council
members
have
staff
there.
S
The
sunshine
law
requires
public
notice
of
the
meetings
minutes
to
be
taken
at
the
meetings
and
that
the
meetings
be
public.
That
is
the
process
term

opportunity
to
hear
presentations
from
members
of
the
focus
group
and
staff
and
listen
to
the
questions
of
the
council
members
on
the
committee.
This
can
still
happen
on
redistricting.
S
Surely
an
issue
as
important
as
voting
rights
deserve
deserves
the
same
respect.
Here
is
one
thing:
that's
different
between
the
two
issues.
In
the
case
of
short-term
vacation
rentals,
you
have
amended
and
will
continue
to
amend
the
city
code
from
time
to
time.
In
the
case
of
redistricting,
you
only
get
to
do
this
once
in
10
years.
S
S
A
new
wrinkle
came
up
today
in
that
I
learned
that
the
co-chair
of
the
hamilton
county
voters
coalition
had
filed
an
open
reading
meetings
request
with
the
city
on
march
28.
Almost
a
month
ago,
she
asked
for
all
electronic
correspondence
relating
to
redistricting
by
any
city
councilor
with
fellow
counselors
or
with
city
staff
for
the
period
from
september
through
march.
S
The
law
requires
prompt
fulfillment
of
an
open
records
request.
It
was
three
weeks
before
she
was
notified
that
if
she
wanted
to
pursue
it,
there
would
be
a
charge
of
165
dollars,
but
it's
not
so
much
the
money
because
there
probably
is
some
research
time,
but
it's
the
question
of
is
this
request
going
to
be
fulfilled
before
you
vote
next
week
on
this
decision
that
you
make
every
10
years.
