Very
good,
thank
you
chairman.
Over
the
past
thanksgiving
many
people
were
able
to
gather
safely,
while
many
others
were
not
as
we
move
forward
through
this
holiday
season.
Let
us
treat
each
other
with
grace
and
kindness,
knowing
not
what
others
may
be
facing
on
any
given
day.
Thank
you
chairman.
I
move
the
agenda.
Thank
you.
A
C
Thank
you.
Mr
chair
council
has
again
decided
to
give
two
minutes
to
everyone
who
wishes
to
speak
with
no
limit
to
the
number
of
people
who
wish
to
speak,
the
only
limitation
being.
You
should
have
registered
to
speak
so
now
anyone
who's
registered
to
speak
ahead
of
time.
If
you
would
raise
your
hand,
I'll
call
on
you
and
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you.
C
D
How
are
you
I'm
doing
well
councilman
burris?
In
regards
to
the
the
amendment
to
the
budget.
I
just
had
a
few
concerns
and
questions.
I
understand
that
this
is
like
this.
This
is
money
that
was
unanticipated
coming
back
into
the
city
budget
and
it's
being
allocated
into
a
few
places
to
help
out-
and
I
understand
in
the
wording
of
the
aura
of
the
the
ordinance
that
it's
to
help
assist
with
some
sectors
that
have
been
impacted
by
covet
19.
This
happened
to
shut
down.
D
While
we
have
other
organizations
and
smaller
businesses
in
the
arts
community
who
are
struggling
or
shutting
down
right
now-
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
there
could
be
a
process
where
they
could
appeal
for
it-
apply
for
access
to
some
of
these
funds
to
to
broaden
the
scope
of
the
impact
of
where
these.
This
relief
funds
could
could
go
out
into
the
community.
C
D
That's
just
it
and
this
there's
and
some
suggestions,
possibly
if
that
there
have
been
some
assessments
in
the
arts
community,
at
least
as
far
as
non-profits
go,
I'm
not
sure
about
other
parts
of
the
nonprofit
community.
But
there
have
been
questions
that
other
organizations
have
asked.
I
think
arts
bill
has
some
of
that
data.
Tennessee
arts,
commission,
probably
does
also
about
like
where,
where
some
of
these
organizations
stand
so
like,
as
those
decisions
are
getting
made
about
how
to
allocate
funds
or
even
make
that
process
accessible,.
D
C
E
Hear
you,
oh
okay.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
for
the
sorry
to
be
a
no
face
hi.
I
also
just
wanted
to
chime
in
and
actually
back
up,
marx's
statements,
I
think,
a
way
to
for
nonprofits
and
other
art
organizations
to
apply
for
these
funds,
as
opposed
to
just
I've
seen
you
know,
proposals
for
the
tivoli
theater
and
the
bessie
smith
center.
Instead
of
these
lump
sums
going
to
them,
have
a
better
process
for
groups
and
non-profits
to
apply
for
these
funds.
Instead,
I
think
they'll
be
just
way
better.
E
Utilized
and
we'd
all
have
a
better
idea
of
how
that
money
is
going
to
be
used
if
smaller
nonprofit
and
art
organizations
can
apply
for
it.
I
I'd
I
mean
the
tivoli.
You
know
they're
already
getting
tax
dollars
from
this
from
you
know,
throughout
the
year
from
taxpayers
in
the
city
same
with
bessie
smith
center,
so
I
think
some
sort
of
application
process.
I
want
to
back
up
to.
C
F
Hello,
I
hope
that
you
can
hear
me
now:
hi
shane,
we
can't
okay,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
for
everyone
hi
good
evening.
My
name
is
shane
morrow
known
to
some
as
the
director
of
raj
chattanooga
and
I'm
calling
in
response
to
just
gaining
clarity
and
my
own
personal
opinion
in
regard
to
the
covet
19
allocation
funds.
F
I
guess
in
a
nutshell,
because
the
time
is
limited
first,
let
me
just
commend
all
of
you
for
doing
what
you
do
best
and
that
is
making
sure
that
you
are
being
the
voice
of
your
constituents
and
making
sure
that
you're
making
a
positive
difference
inside
the
community.
My
question:
actually
it's
really
a
statement.
F
These
are
the
immediate
things
that
our
community
needs.
That's
not
a
black
thing.
It's
not
a
white
thing.
It's
not
a
latino
thing,
it's
all
of
us
thing
and
I
think
the
money
that
we
get
allocated
to
make
a
positive
difference
in
the
community
should
be
just
that
and
I
share
this
because
again,
yes,
I
am
a
struggling
non-profit
organization
from
for
folks
that
know,
we've
done
delivery
series
from
the
betsy
down
to
doing
programming
in
miller
park.
F
H
Okay,
hello,
how
are
y'all
doing
tonight?
I
want
to
thank
you
first,
you
know
I
work
with
united
way.
I've
met
with
a
lot
of
you
around
a
lot
of
different
issues
in
your
districts,
but
I
do
want
to
really
say
that
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
the
information
today.
We
think
we
really
need
to
get
more
information
out
about
2-1-1
and
interesting
to
follow
the
last
callers
we're
exactly
trying
to
do
that.
I
think
in
our
presentation
today
we're
trying
to
get
more
immediate
needs
more
in
the
community.
H
H
That's
four
hundred
dollars
and
our
resource
specialists
have
to
go
and
find
a
couple
of
different
people
that
are
willing
to
contribute
to
pay
that
one
bill
and
also
they
try
to
make
sure
that
all
the
needs
are
met.
Not
just
that
one
bill,
but
what
else
are
they
needed
so
we're
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
word
out
and
that
we're
there
to
help
the
community
and
we're
there
to
help?
J
J
I
very
much
appreciate
being
a
part
of
the
or
we
very
much
appreciate
being
part
of
this
resolution
for
continued
support.
What
I
want
everybody
to
know
is
that
we
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
the
foundation
with
our
three
magnificent
theaters
that
support
a
lot
of
community
efforts
working
through
this
horrific
period.
We're
involved
in
it
is
critical
for
us
to
keep
the
tivoli
open,
so
there's
a
sense
of
urgency
to
your
continued
support
and
we
very
much
appreciate
everything
you're
doing
for
us.
That's
all.
I
have
to
say
thank
you.
K
I
think
that
is
actually
employed
by
the
tivoli
foundation
to
bring
in
entertainment
and
we
need
to
keep
the
tivoli
foundation
afloat
simply
because,
like
I
said,
everybody
needs
a
little
additional
income
during
these
times
and
I
think
it
would
be
very
beneficial
for
the
community
to
continue
to
be
able
to
produce
and
have
the
shows
come
to
chattanooga.
It
would
be
a.
C
A

okay,

or
