But
my
question
is
not
pertaining
to
any
of
these
items,
but
it
has
something
to
do
with
the
sewer
easement.
That's
on
the
other,
in
a
shallow
fry
road,
where
district,
5
and
9
kind
of
connects
it
still
floods
there
and
we've
been
told
previously
that
the
work
had
been
done
and
been
completed
and
still
where
we
have
a
heavy
rain.
It
still
overflows
are
we
are
we
able
to
do
something
about
that
or
do
we
know
when
it'll
be
fixed
or
is
it
in
the
consent,
decree
or
anything
Joe.
A
D
You
Tara
Thank,
You
Donna,
so
the
sewer
overflow
I
was
out
of
a
row
on
the
end
that
district,
nine
and
five,
where
we
split
it,
steal
all
the
flows.
When
we
have
a
heavy
rain
and
we've
been
told
repeatedly
that
that
soup
has
been
completed,
it
was
fixed,
but
unfortunately,
when
we
get
the
heavy
rain,
he
still
produces
the
same
result
that
it
was
prior
to
you
fixing
the
sword.
If
we
get
an
update
as
to
when
it
will
be,
it
was
this
shallow
for
all.
I
D
Right
by
Dale,
bull,
school
Dale
will
school
that
kind
of
cuz.
We
split
one
side
by
one
side,
man
and
then
it
kind
of
goes
that
ditch
around
that
leads
up
to
the
street
to
the
area
over
a
district
five.
But
every
time
you
know
the
houses
are
still
flooding
in
their
area.
The
road
is
flooding,
it's
blocked
off
and
we
were
told
that
it
was
fixed.
I
D
I
D
A
A
J
J
K
K
B
K
A
K
A
I
J
Them
right
to
know
how
many
I
mean,
who
bid
it
out.
Honey
comes,
be
it
out.
What
was
the
beer?
It
was
who's
ever
coming,
and
how
much
did
it
be,
and
also
how
many
contractor
with
this
particular
cotton
and
because
there
might
have
some
kind
of
reference
to
the
be
is
to
when
they
got
other
things?
Other
contract
will
files
that
that
be,
it
could
be
Lord,
so
I
want
to
harm
any
country
to
help
with
this
economy.
I
know
they
got
to
in
the
morning
to.

J
D
Coonrod
Thank
You,
chair
and
I
also
Maura.
If
you
were
email,
media
information
as
well,
I'd
appreciate
it
so
under
the
for
the
police,
the
purchase
of
ammunition.
What
kind
of
ammunition
are
we
purchasing?
Is
it
just
regular
hollow
points?
Is
it
the
Leo
am
know
what
hour?
Is
it
additional
things?
That's
coming
with
the
bullets
that
were
purchasing,
that's
included
with
this
ammunition
or
what
is
accurate.
A
L
A
L
C
E
Great
thank
you
for
your
question.
Councilwoman
Coonrod.
That
ammunition
is
for
us,
while
we're
making
our
transition
from
the
45
pistol
to
a
9-millimeter.
We
are
still
in
the
middle
of
that
trans
crossover
and
that
ammunition
will
get
us
prepared
for
to
complete
that
transaction
and
also
for
the
upcoming
Academy.
That's
good
Starbucks.
D
E
N
A
This
by
the
council
I
think
it
will
not
be
in
our
best
interest
if
we
start
reading
off
the
May
26th
agenda,
the
well
the
two-week
agenda
simply
to
make
sure
that
if
any
council
person
has
questions,
they
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
unless
it's
like
Public,
Works
or
planning
that
we
know
that
would
be
in
a
committee.
Does
anybody
have
any
objections
to
us
doing
that
in
the
future?
B
A
A
O
Sir,
thank
you
mr.
chairman,
under
human
resources
item
H.
If,
if
Beverly
could
give
us
a
detailed
breakdown
of
what
we
missed
around
with
the
original
gear
program
and
why
we
need
the
$25,000
added
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
exactly
we
missed
in
the
first
round,
whether
it's
in
reporting
or
the
survey
or
the
training,
she
would
provide
that.
That
would
be
wonderful.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
O
A
A
M
H
F
P
P
Q
You
mentioned
and
I
guess
you
didn't
get
a
chance
to
read
my
email
mr.
chair
before
this
meeting,
but
the
two
that
are
in
finance
for
next
week,
6a
and
seven
be
okay.
We
discussed
last
week
relative
to
the
three
week
agenda.
Do
you
want
to
discuss
it
again?
It's
the
money
for
the
zoo
and
it's
the
regional
tourism
initiative.
A
Q
A
D
Q
A
Okay,
I'll
tell
you
what
why
don't
just
so
that
they'll
be
read
into
the
record
when
we,
when
we
get
into
Budget
and
Finance
Committee?
If
you
would
just
have
the
clerk
read
in
the
first
three
items,
just
to
have
them
read
into
the
record
and
then
and
then
we
can
go
to
the
buzzer
budget
presentation
yeah.
That's
that's
fine!
Thank
You.
B
Mr.
chair,
before
we
go
there,
all
council
members
on
May
26
will
be
voting
on
those
the
day
they're
in
committee.
So
if
you
have
some
questions,
please
reach
out
public
works
or
to
me
and
I'll
try
to
get
you
some
answers
for
those.
That's
May,
26th,
bublik
works.
I,
don't
believe
there
are
any
transportation
items
on
26,
but
there
are
some
several
public
works
items
for
the
26th,
and
so,
if
you
have
questions,
either
give
them
to
me
or
reach
out
directly
to
mr.
Holland
and
try
to
get
some
answers.
A
Very
good,
okay,
that
covers
the
May
26th
agenda.
We've
already
looked
at
the
three
week.
Look
ahead!
Unless
there
are
other
questions.
I'm
gonna
take
these
committees
in
the
order
that
they're
listed
here
on
our
agenda.
So
at
this
time
councilor

Mitchell
they
have
a
raised
bed
garden
in
the
back
of
the
property
back
there
that
they
are
growing
vegetables
in,
and
they
wanted
to
continue
to
have
some
sort
of
programming
like
that
on
this
other
space
s
other
available
land,
if
they
have
their
and
I
believe
that
we're
going
to
do
something
with
their
parking
lot
as
well.
Back
there,
okay.
M
R
Thank
you,
mr.
Beeman.
Thank
you
constantly
Mitchell
for
your
question
or
any
other
question
related
to
the
resolutions
seeing
no
hands.
We
will
now
move
on
to
our
discussion
on
short-term
vacation
realm
about
maybe
three
four
weeks
ago
we
talked
about
looking
into
this,
and
two
things
came
out
of
those
discussions
that
we
need.
Some
clarification
on,
one
which
will
address
first
would
be
boundaries
and
the
second
one
which
would
probably
meant
the
discussion
on
owner
versus
non
owner
occupied,
so
council,
Mitzvah
I,
knew
you
had
some
questions
about
the
boundaries.
B
Really
they're
sort
of
coab
related
mr.
chair
I've
had
a
constituent
who
is
out
of
the
boundary
for
anything
and
they
were
doing
owner,
occupier
rentals
and,
of
course,
they've
been
shut
down
from
doing
that.
It
part
of
a
retirement
income
that
they
were
doing,
and
my
question
was:
is
how
would
the
council
like
to
go
about
it?
B
A
B
Know
we,
it
seems,
like
our
our
problems
have
come
in
with
non-owner
occupied,
but
I
haven't
heard
any
problems
and
I
did
a
little
research.
I
hadn't
heard
really
a
lot
of
problems
about
owner-occupied
really
around
the
country
other
than
the
community.
Just
doesn't
want
a
period.
So
I
was
just
wanting
some
discussion
with
the
council
about
what
they
would
feel
about
expanding
owner-occupied
in
the
siege
of
new.
R
R
B
Is
this
typical
with
district
2
and
we
originally
making
him
and
I
think
he
recall
one
side
of
Hixon
pike
in
North
Chattanooga
was
in
and
one
side
was
out.
The
folks
out
that
lived
on
Hickson
pike
didn't
think
that
was
fair,
and
so
we
went
ahead
and
expanded
the
boundary
there.
This
is
a
similar
situation
just
further
north
on
the
road
in
the
River
Hills
area
and
the
question
becomes,
you
know:
do
we
just
move
the
map
over
some
ore
or
do
we
leave
it
as
it
is
I
guess?
B
As
you
know,
I
I'm
fully
expecting
some
council
people
to
say
that
they
don't
care.
If
it's
non-owner
occupied
or
owner-occupied,
they
don't
want
it
in
their
district.
But
I
would
like
to
hear
a
couple
of
council.
People
say
that
before
I
decided,
you
know
what
I
want
to
propose
in
legislation
to
the
council.
Well,.
A
B
There
is
no
proposed
boundary
change
yet
for
this
one
individual,
it
would
be
contiguous.
We
just
went
that
route
because
I
just
moved
it
across
the
pipe,
but
it'd
still
be
connected
with
the
other
side
of
the
pike.
Okay,
so
I've
got
one
to
know
what
the
council's
feelings
are
before
I
actually
propose
a
an
actual
boundary.
Mr.
A
K
A
B
K
B
B
R
O
O
Since
then
we
have
watched
it
develop.
We
have
watched
the
nationwide
conversation,
we've
seen,
cities
ban
it,
some
ban
certain
parts
of
it.
So
recently
what
I've
been
doing
when
meeting
with
HOAs
and
I've
had
a
lot
of
opportunity,
especially
with
the
tornadoes
that
kind
of
asked
this
question
again
and
now
I'm
actually
leaving
letters
from
large
homeowners
associations
asking
me
to
stand
firm
in
not
allowing
it
because
they
don't
feel
that
it
fits
district.
O
4
I've
had
some
folks
that
have
reached
out
who
have
finally
been
reached
through
the
through
the
website,
I
guess
and
right
now,
the
number,
if
you
were
to
ask
me
councilman
Mitchell
if
I,
were
to
run
a
tally.
It's
about
seven
hundred
to
six,
and
that
tells
me
a
lot
and
especially
when
I'm
receiving
HOA
letters
strongly
asking
me
to
please
stand
firm,
that
it's
not
right
for
District
four.
Now
that
being
said,
I
do
realize
that
in
time
there
might
be
a
hybrid.
O
There
might
be
certain
areas,
especially
along
the
gun
barrel
corridor,
which
is
more
commercial,
but
at
this
time
I'm
having
a
lot
of
homeowners
associations
even
being
more
aggressive
in
their
position.
Asking
me
to
please
leave
it
alone
and
that
it's
not
it's
not
right
for
District.
Four
great
input.
J
B
R
F
Yeah
I
mean
it
same,
goes
for
me
right
now:
counseling
Mitchell
I've
had
probably
three
or
four
at
most
reach
out
since
the
very
beginning
this
conversation,
so
my
numbers
would
very
much
resemble
counseling.
Ledford
is
found
I've
yet
to
go
to
an
HOA
meeting
where
anybody
was
really
interested
in
having
a
short
term
practitioner
and
her
owner
occupied
or
otherwise
so
yeah.
At
this
time
I
would,
I
would
be
firm
on
my
original
vote
in
not
having
it
in
district
3.
Okay,.
Q
B
You
mister
deer
head.
That's
this
thing
and
I
believe
that
is
the
four
districts
that
do
not
allow
it
period
so
that
input
was
very,
very
helpful.
I
guess:
I'm
gonna
need
it.
Unless
somebody
else
raises
their
hand,
I
guess:
I'm
gonna
need
mr.
attorney
to
tell
me
I'm
wasting
my
time
or
if
whatever
I
do
is
going
to
be
very
limited.
So
mr.
Durden,
yes.
K
Yes,
sir
I
will
get
you
that
information
shortly
here.
The
act
that
is
applicable
still
here
in
Tennessee
has
not
changed
since
I
guess,
May
of
2018,
at
least
regarding
the
statute.
It
prohibits
us
from
developing
any
new
regulations
of
a
certain
type
here
that
would
yes,
it
did
not
affect
property
that
was
being
used
as
a
short-term
rental
unit
prior
to
the
enactment
of
this
new
state
law.
But
we
have
to
be
careful
in
whether
we're
going
beyond
the
preemption
provisions
of
that
state
statute
here
as
well.
So
I'll
get
that
to
you
right.
K
B
Chair
I'm,
actually
thinking
about
it,
I,
wouldn't
mind
hearing
from
a
couple
of
council
people
where
it
is
allowed
their
district,
because,
especially
with
a
couple
of
people
impact,
you
know,
forest
fires
line
up
in
their
district
based
on
I,
think
most
of
us
and
non-owner
occupied,
but
I'd
still
like.
If
they'd
be
some
kind
of
hear
from
hear
from
them.
R
D
We
just
went
through
this
with
a
guy
who
was
using
his
property
in
Glenwood
but
living
out
and
wanting
our
area,
but
it's
appropriate
to
have
it
in
our
district,
seven,
eight
and
nine,
but
it's
not
appropriate
to
be
au
Isles
area
and
I
have
an
issue
with
it.
Our
areas
are
mostly
historically
black
and
brown,
and
to
me
you're,
saying:
okay,
it's
okay
for
us
to
just
dispose
these
type
properties
in
these
areas.
So
we
got
to
be
honest
about
that.
D
So,
if
it's
a
valuable
commodity,
the
dump
be
short-term
vacation
rooms
and
you
profit
off
of
it.
Although
you
live
in
the
other
areas,
it
should
just
be
just
as
welcoming
so
be
next
door
to
the
people
who
own
the
property
that's
operating.
They
might
be
like.
What's
the
difference,
but
I
think
we're
missing
out
on
opportunity
to
obtain
tax
revenue
and
the
fact
that
people
are
still
operating
in
these
areas,
they're
still
operating
no
matter
how
much
you're
saying
I,
don't
wanna
they're!
D
Still
in
everybody's
district,
we
see
it
every
day
we
get
complaints
about
it
and
I.
Just
think
that
we
need
to
be
doing
something.
Different
I
mean
it
because
when
the
next
council
person
come
on,
they're
gonna
say
the
same
exact
thing
possible
or
they
may
not
be
yeah.
I
see
you
shaking
your
head
little
foot,
but
the
next
time
one
of
your
constituents
proposed
in
my
district
to
open
up
a
short
summer
vacation
run
on
my
ass
down.
Why
do
they
feel
this?
If
it
shouldn't
happen
in
their
district?
B
D
H
You
know
I'm
an
advocate
for
short-term
vacation,
rentals
I
think
they're
super
cool
the
perception
of
what
they
really
do
and
they
don't
do
you
know
you
pull
it
the
emotional
strings
when
you
say
hey,
this
is
gonna
affect
affordable
housing
and
we
know
in
some
of
the
more
influential
communities,
especially
in
district
8.
Those
houses
would
never
be
affordable
who
owned
them
or
who
didn't
own
them.
We
can't
determine
how
much
someone
will
charge
for
rent
a
lot
of
times.
H
We
need
to
tighten
up
the
laws
to
say
where,
if
someone
is
violating
or
doing
something
or
having
police
reports
there
and
they're
operating
a
short
term
vacation
rental
debt
is
bringing
harm
to
the
community,
then
they'd
be
shut
down.
I
would
like
to
see
a
citywide
myself
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
stronger
on
revoking
those
short-term
vacation
that
are
not
acting
appropriately
and
allowing
the
ones
to
flourish
that
are
acting
appropriately.
So
that's
why
man
thank.
R
You
thanks
Thank
You
councilman
bird
well.
For
me,
the
many
of
my
constituents
want
to
shirk
short-term
vacation
rentals,
where
the
challenge
is
to
almost
a
person
is
the
preferences
for
owner
occupied,
because
you
know
there
are
some
some
concerns,
some
of
them
justifiably
so,
but
most
of
them
are
just
good
citizens
making
an
investment.
But
for
me
in
district
7,
that's
my
biggest
biggest
concern
is
owner
occupier
versus
non
owner
occupier
and
if
I
could
filled
up
the
law
says
we
can't
differentiate
the
two.
R
B
R
B
A
Well,
I
thought
I'd
already
weighed
in
early
early
on,
to
be
honest
and
in
my
district
part
of
my
district
has
the
short
term.
Vacation
rental
in
part
does
not,
and
it's
a
to
me
it's
a
great
balance.
I
think
the
fact
that
we
have
the
ability
to
approve
or
not
approve
non-owner
occupied
allows
us
to
have
a
human
element
in
making
a
decision
now.
Does
that
sometimes
put
us
in
the
hot
seat
it
does,
but
that's
what
we
were
elected
for
so
I
think
I
think
the
way
it's
operating
now
is
I.
A
Think
it's
operating
very
well.
We
we
can
allow
non-owner
occupied
where
it's
appropriate
and
we
can
not
allow
it
where
it's
not
appropriate,
so
I
think
we've.
The
best
I
can
tell
I
think
we've
struck
a
good
balance.
We
have
counseled
people
who
have
said
their
district
does
not
walk
short-term
vacation.
Rentals
part
of
us
have
said
that
they
do
want
it
and
it
is
allowed
I
think
right
now
that
we
have
about
as
good
about
ordinances,
and
we
could
possibly
hope
for
the
only
thing
I
would
ask
councillor.
A
B
B
These
thoughts
in
me,
more
than
anything
else,
is,
is
when
I
hear
from
folks,
especially
as
it
relates
to
owner-occupied
so
often
you're,
probably
looking
at
someone
that's
trying
to
supplement
their
income,
several
of
them
are
retired
and
trying
to
you
know,
they're
there
they're
at
a
place
where
anything
to
supplement
income
would
be
helpful,
and
so
that's
that's.
That's
I!
Guess
my
the
biggest
thought
the
thing
that's
tearing
at
my
heartstrings,
which
I'm
not
supposed
to
have
let
happen
I
guess
sometimes
when
I
make
these
decisions,
but
I
just
want
to.
B
Thank
you
all
for
those
comments
and
it'll,
give
me
an
opportunity
and
maybe
even
do
a
little
bit
more
research
into
what
what
drives
owner
versus
non-owner
occupied.
Of
course,
I
like
something
from
the
city
attorney
before
I.
Go
too
much
further
with
it.
To
tell
me
if
I
gotta
shut
down,
you
know
the
processes,
maybe
enlarging
owner-occupied.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
and
and
chairman
Erskine
owlsley.
D
R
I
had
seen
your
hand,
I,
don't
know,
if
was
the
old
handle.
What
okay
we've
had
this
discussion?
Look
like
we're
right
where
we
we
are
on
see
from
what
I'm
hearing
those
that
has
it
has
our
challenges,
which
puts
us
on,
as
chairman
Henderson
said,
on
us,
to
make
those
decisions
based
on
handling
the
business
about
district
and
the
needs
of
our
constituents
and
those
who
do
not
have
it.
R
D
K
Will
I
was
just
noticing
that,
as
we
y'all
were
talking
here,
I'll
get
you
some
stuff
on
what
Nashville
is
currently
doing,
I'm
also
sending
to
Councilman
Mitchell
right
now.
The
EM
tasks
section
on
short-term
rentals
and
I
can
do
that.
For
all
of
you
here
that's
got
the
state
law
requirements
on
it
as
well.
Okay,.
D
K
It's
whatever
you
choose
to
do
in
that
regard,
I
think
the
short-term
vacation
rental
statute
was
Renton
initially
because
of
the
issues
that
were
coming
up
in
Gatlinburg
and
Gatlinburg
was
having
a
number
of
vacation
rentals
up
there
and
I.
Think
many
of
the
other
cities
have
tried
to
follow
that
Gatlinburg,
a
model.
D
K
D
K
And
I
think
there's
some
question
about
what
has
been
pledged
and
what
hasn't
been
pledged
for
tourism
dollars
in
here
and
I.
Think
there
was
some
issue
about
that
legislation
wise
as
to
whether
there
is
a
specific
requirement
that
it
goes
for
I
guess
the
same
way
that
other
Hotel
Motel
taxes
would
go.
Okay,.
D
D
If
you
could
I
would
like,
if
so,
if
it
comes
back
I
will
you
know
we'll
be
making
a
motion
to
amend
it
to
add
that
those
dollars
it
be
included
for
other
distressed
areas
such
as
seven,
eight,
not
in
fact
all
of
our
areas
help
or
pockets
collections,
so
everybody
could
use
a
little
bit
of
their
hotel-motel
taxes
in
our
districts.
So
yeah,
please
find
out
what
you
you
can't
feel
and
so
council
can
make
a
decision.
Yes,
ma'am.
R
Thank
you,
okay,
Thank
You,
Councilwoman
cool
ride,
I
mean
a
lot
of
that
is
it's
seven,
so
I
know
where
you're
talking
about
expanding
into
those
parts
of
district
seven
that
has
not.
That
has
had
some
challenges
with
economic
development,
so
I
I
know
where
you're
coming
from
with
that.
So
what
is
what
feel?
What
would
be
the
next
step
be
so
this
we
don't?
R
R
Thank
you.
Mr.
Noblet
will
will
follow.
I'll
follow
up
with
you
on
that
and
we'll
get
it
scheduled
to
have
a
follow
up
to
that:
okay,
okay,
seeing
no
other
hands
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
item,
and
that
is
an
update
on
the
skatepark.
So
madam
clerk
I
see
Travis's
is
in
there.
Would
you
please
bring
him
up?
Please
he's
going
to
give
us
a
report.
R
R
S
R
S
S
So
we
consulted
with
Vander
Zalm
and
associates
on
a
Canada
who
does
this
extensively
and
built
a
strategic
effort
to
evaluate
the
existing
skate
park
and
opportunities
and
identify
factors
for
a
successful
skate
park
and
location
work
on
an
initial
budget
estimate
so
that
we
can
move
into
the
next
stages
phases
which
would
go
in
front
of
you
guys.
The
plan
was
finalized
in
February.
S
It
goes
into
depth
by
demonstrating
the
benefits
to
skateboarding
and
in
for
a
community.
It
discussed
the
health
and
safety
inclusivity,
economic
prosperity.
It
presented
information
to
the
community
and
thoroughly
engaged
the
public
for
feedback
in
the
form
of
paper
and
online
surveys,
as
well
as
face-to-face
interaction.
S
I
will
note
would
like
to
note
that
we
had
over
500
participants
from
the
area,
including
in
Georgia
some
as
far
as
Nashville
and
Atlanta,
that
came
here
and
often
we
discovered
in
this
process
that
people
will
travel
up
to
four
hours
to
spend
the
day
at
a
skate
park,
and
a
lot
of
what
Chattanooga
ins
are
doing
are
are
traveling
down
to
Atlanta
to
skate
in
their
multiple
parts
that
are
concrete
versus
our
modular,
and
the
study
goes
into
depth
about.
You
know
the
difference
of
modular
and
concrete.
E
S
Were
trying
to
focus
along
the
Greenway
networks
in
order
to
reach
as
many
participants
as
possible,
the
surveys
told
us
that
most
of
the
respondents,
the
highest
level,
actually
was
in
Hickson,
and
so
the
top
site
is
actually
River
point
a
river
park
and
the
county
uses
that
site
for
J
Fest
in
different
areas.
We
were
going
to
kind
of
supplement
off
a
portion
of
that,
not
really
where
they
hold
J
fest.
S
S
Additionally,
the
study
assessed
the
need
by
standard
using
standardized
numbers
which
are
described
in
detail
in
the
document.
It's
a
common
practice
in
most
industries.
So,
while
we
understand
like
the
history
of
skateboarding
is
rife
with
social,
cultural
and
political
complexities,
it's
going
mainstream
as
a
common
activity
in
sport.
It
is
planned
to
be
in
the
2020
Summer
Olympics,
although
we'll
see
how
the
COBIT
influences
that
what
we
did
learn
in
this
process
and
talking
with
a
lot
of
people
is
the
broad
acceptance
is
evidenced
through
growing
international
representation,
economic
prosperity
and
social
development.
F
S
It
also
showed
that
skate
parks
operate
sites
of
pro-social
behavior
for
youth,
encouraging
park
users
to
exhibit
behavior
such
as
cooperation,
leaning,
learning
from
one
another
socializing
respect
etiquette,
as
in
taking
turns
and
helping
one
another.
It
is
an
activity
with
over
50
million
participants
across
the
globe
that
transects
transcends
age,
gender,
ethnicity
and
economic
backgrounds.
S
We
continue,
although
we're
a
little
off
track
just
because
of
the
kovat,
but
we
held
a
annual
skate
park
event
with
the
local
advocates
and
leaders
that
have
been
part
of
this
process
from
the
beginning,
just
to
keep
participation
up.
Let
people
know
what's
going
on
that,
we're
supporting
him
and
build
trust
between
the
city
and
the
residents,
and
we
continue
to
plan
and
do
that.
We
want
to
do
one
in
the
spring
and
one
in
the
fall
every
year.
So
as
soon
as
we
can
safely
open
back
up
we're
planning
for
that.
S
But
we
currently
have
funding
already
allocated
and
we
are
finalizing
the
RFQ
just
working
on
a
couple
questions
with
legal
and
purchasing
about
the
design
phase.
So
the
next
phase
will
be
to
hire
consultants
to
come
on
and
design
the
park
at
River
point
additionally,
working
with
the
county
just
ensure
that
the
an
MOU
agreement
is
in
place
and
we
have
pursued
construction
funding
this
year,
but
understand
that
the
environment
and
circumstances
pulled
that
away
and
so
we'll
be
following
up
the
next
year,
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
A
S
So
yes,
a
river
park,
the
specific
site
that
we
have
is
a
city
only
parcel,
and
so
we
were
just
trying
to
be
good
team
players
with
the
county
and
and
not
interrupt
the
plans
that
they
had
been
working
on
through
their
master
plan.
So
we,
the
river
point,
is
now
the
portion
where
green,
the
Seljuk
Greenway
and
the
Riverwalk
meet
at
lost
mountain
drive
is
the
one
that
we
are
pursuing
for
design.
Okay,.
A
S
A
A
S
A
Could
I,
just
as
a
council
person
and
the
council
might
want
to
weigh
in
on
this
I
would
like
to
see
an
MoU
in
place
with
the
county
before
we
go
any
further
with
spending
money
with
with
wherever
we're
going
to
put
it
as
long
as
the
county
has
joint
partnership
and
and
the
rest
of
the
council
can
can
weigh
in
on
that?
What
is
the
budget
estimate
you?
You
mentioned
that
you
know
in
the
study.
Did
a
budget
as,
what's
the
budget
estimate
for
this,
we.
B
B
Voted
approved,
MOU
I
think
would
be
critical
to
spend
another
penny.
The
mound
lost
man
location
used
to
bike
around
there.
A
lot
and
I
was
always
told
that
there's
significant
archaeological
areas
there
is
that
is
that
true,
whereas
that
part
of
it
been
studied
at
all.
As
far
as
choosing
this
location.
S
So
part
of
our
next
phase
is
soil
studies,
and
course,
studies
which
I've
been
working
with
engineer
engineering
on
what
the
best
method
for
studying
that
is.
The
county
has
told
me.
Tom
Lam
has
informed
me
that
they
did
a
study
on
that
site
and
the
the
mound
portion.
That's
at
the
entryway
is
the
only
archeological
archaeologically
significant
area
they
have
found,
but
additional
studies
would
help
us
do
that
which
would
be
part
of
the
design
phase.
Okay,
one.
R
B
Consulting
firm
that
we
hired
to
do
this
I
think
I
heard
you
say
they
do
a
lot
of
these
all
over
the
country.
So
I've
got
to
tell
you
Travis
I'm
a
little
bit
skeptical
about
hiring
someone
that
they're,
probably
Maine
businesses
doing
these
things.
So
I
can
kind
of
guess
what
the
recommendation
is
going
to
be
when
it
comes
back.
But
my
question
is:
is:
are
they
going
to
be
allowed
to
bid
on
the
design
and
achromatic?
We
get
that
far.
The
construction
of.
S
As
far
as
prime
vs.
sub,
my
only
nobody's
specifically
outlined
for
anything.
Yet
my
concern
in
pursuing
this
question
really
has
to
do
with
just
a
specialized
portion
of
design
construction
that
it
takes.
I,
don't
know
that
I've
got
indication
that
a
typical
concrete
builder
can
do
this
bowl
and
ramp
design
so,
but
we'll
we
we've
worked
with
this
before
and
and
we'll
just
do
whatever
the
law
permits
us
to
do.
Okay,
all.
B
Back
then
about
doing
a
modular.
One
is
one
of
these.
You
know
and
I
think
probably
design
has
probably
improved
quite
a
bit
for
the
concrete,
concrete
one,
but
I
will
tell
you
for
a
fact
that
we
had
a
lot
of
problems
with
skateboarders
in
the
downtown
area
using
architectural
pieces
too,
and
basically
doing
a
lot
of
damage
when
we
made
the
move
to
do
this
so
so,
and
I
can
also
tell
you
personally
for
a
fact
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
do
this.
B
That
probably
aren't
very
excited
about
participating
in
things
like
team
sports
and
things
like
that.
They
are
more
individuals,
several
of
them
practice
their
individuality
quite
a
bit
as
a
matter
of
fact.
In
many
ways,
so
I'm
not
I
want
to
make
it
clear,
I'm
not
against
it,
but
but
I
still
want
to
agree
with
counsel
councilperson
Henderson
that
we
need
to
think
further
through
before
we
go
spending
a
lot
more
money
on
this.
In
my
opinion,
Thank
You
Travis
Thank.
B
D
S
D
D
There
was
a
new
political
jargon
that
out
you
know,
I'm
slow
to
catch
on
to
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
skateboarding
Travis.
Thank
you
for
the
great
job
that
you're
doing
I
got
to
gotta
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
I
think
we'll
probably
need
an
MoU
in
place
if
the
county
is
gonna,
be
on
board
with
helping,
but
I
would
really
love
to
see
a
skate
park
in
an
inner-city
community.
D
D
Hawk
I,
don't
know
if
you
are
look
for
me
with
him,
but
he
sucks
and
shows
he's
an
actor
as
well
he's
out
of
California
and
one
of
the
movies
that
he
he
displays
a
lot
of
his
needs
in
its
lore
about
so
let's
go
to
town
so
check
him
out
and
see
he's
one
of
my
favorites.
I
skateboard
retirements
with
my
life,
but
I
just
I.
D
Really
wish
that
we
could
look
at
some
other
areas
from
we
always
concentrate
on
just
putting
things
it
River,
Park
or
you
know
the
other
greenways,
but
there's
other
areas
clearly
that
I
feel
like
that
it'll
be
beneficial
but
of
course
Travis
I'm,
not
the
architect,
I'm,
not
the
engineer,
but
again,
thank
you.
Thank.
J
Thank
You
chair,
just
I,
know
we're
speaking
about
mo
use
with
the
county,
but
you
I
know
most.
You
have
not
been
with
us
doing
this
town
on
McCarroll
birds
have
customers
that
they
can't
renege
on
MOU.
We
had
a
briefing
with
them
in
the
library
they
never
did
keep
up
there
in.
So
if
we
get
it
to
get
in
there
bar,
hopefully
they
put
them
lay
up
first,
so
we
get
the
park
be
instead
of
waiting
on
them
to
anticipate
later,
because
no
guarantee
there
on
the
MOU.
R
S
So
we'll
follow
back
up
with
the
County
on
the
MOU
and
then
we'll
be
ready
to
issue
the
RFQ,
which
will
then
go
out
to
bid
for
the
next
consultant
to
perform
the
design
study
and
then
we'll
we'll
be
in
December.
I
guess
is
our
start
of
our
budgeting
process.
If
we
don't
get
anything
this,
this
July,
okay,.
R
S
Well,
the
initial
term
was
that
this
is
a
city
funded
project
and
we
were
going.
This
is
one
of
those
specialized
design
things
that
we
can
go
out
and
get
sponsored
it's
money
for
we've
been
looking
at
the
Tony
Hawk
foundation.
They
have
through
one
of
our
civilian
advocates,
reached
out
and
expressed
some
interest.
They
have
a
grant
program.
There's
multiple
grant
programs
that
we
are
identifying.
S
R
S
Yeah,
so
we're
we're
on
track.
Kovin
slowed
down
the
design
phase
a
little
bit
for
all
public
meeting
kind
of
led
projects,
but
we're
we're
still
on
track.
We'll
get
the
RFQ
issued,
probably
in
a
month,
just
honestly,
waiting
on
a
little
feedback
from
the
legal
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
issue
that
I
think
it's
a
30-day
bid
process.
I
would
imagine
a
month
review
and
contract
build
and
then
hopefully
when
and
we
are
able
to
safely
come
out
of
this
pandemic,
we're
in
will
be
able
to
hold
some
public
meetings.
S
R
R
R
D
A
D
And
if
we
can
use
those
dollars
to,
can
it
be
appropriated
to
other
areas
we
were
told
and
field
was
a
part
of
that
discussion
when
we
were
told
that
if
operations
dollars
aren't
used,
that
we
could
put
it
in
another
area,
so
it
would,
and
it's
been
years
since
this
Lincoln
part
money
have
been
sitting
there.
So
I
want
to
know
you
know.
What's
the
plan
or
we
still
gonna
move
forward,
we're
putting
this
road
through
there?
D
R
D
A
Q
D
D
A
A
Q
C
Q
Q
We
will
have
a
PDF
to
you.
The
notebooks
will
be
at
the
office
and
also
the
budget
will
be
going
up
online
you'll
find
from
the
budget
presentation
that
it's
pretty
much
last
year's
budget
with
some
some
a
few
modifications
which
the
experts
will
discuss.
So
our
budget
schedule
for
education
will
change
a
bit.
Q
Q
We
could
add
those
now
one
of
the
things
that
the
chair
and
I
discussed
and
cherry
you
may
want
to
chip
in
yes.
In
order
to
do
any
other,
deep
dives
we're
going
to
need
consensus
of
the
council.
All
of
you
are
very
bright
people,
and
some
of
you
want
to
do
your
own
deep
dives
into
things
and
Daisy
and
Mari
I've
agreed
to
meet
with
you
individually
to
do
that.
So
if
there
is
an
issue,
it's
going
to
take
a
consensus
of
council
for
us
to
been
a
whole
session
on
that.
Q
Otherwise,
we'll
get
all
your
questions
answered
and
in
private
meetings
with
Mara
and
Daisy,
or
both
whenever
we're
discussing
an
area
we
will
also
be
bringing
in
the
department
head
who
is
related
to
that
area
to
stand
by.
If
you
have
any
other
questions,
a
lot
of
this
may
not
make
sense
until
you
see
the
budget
and
and
then
you
may
have
questions
afterwards,
any
comments
before
we
get
started
all
right.
Q
You'll
have
the
you'll
have
the
total
schedule,
including
the
public,
meaning
first
and
second
readings,
and
we
may
even
be
able
to
move
that
up.
I
really
appreciate
your
patience
in
this,
and
getting
this
done
so
with
all
of
that
said,
I
would
like
to
turn
the
meeting
over
to
Daisy
and
Mara
to
do
their
regular
budget
presentation.
A
Q
Russell
we're
gonna,
do
it
like
we've
always
done
it
and
remember
we
let
them
make
the
full
priest
year.
We
let
them
make
the
full
presentation.
You'll
get
your
notebook
you'll
get
all
of
that
and
then
the
questions
start
next
week
now,
if
their
overall
general
process
questions
sure,
but
not
during
not
during
wait
till
the
end.
The
problem
is
we're
running
really
late,
so
let
them
get
their
thing
in
and
then
I'm
making
notes
of
every
question.
L
Thank
You,
council
members,
are
you
able
to
hear
me
and
see
my
screen?
Yes,
we
are
wonderful.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
allowing
me
to
be
here
tonight.
This
is
Mara
Sullivan,
your
chief
operating
officer,
I'm
joined
at
the
virtual
podium
tonight
with
with
our
CFO
Miss
Daisy
Madison
Daisy.
Are
you
with
us?
You.
L
L
Daisy
wonderful
well
get
started
with
our
presentation
and
when
I
first
acknowledge
the
great
work
of
our
administrators,
our
deputy
administrators
budget
staff,
the
results
team
members,
our
fiscal
analysts,
who've
all
really
had
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
a
lot
of
different
types
of
hard
work.
This
year,
as
we've
created
one
budget
and
then
created
another
one
really.
So
it's
been
quite
a
challenging
year,
as
you
can
imagine,
and
thanks
to
the
mayor
and
the
entire
leadership
team
for
their
flexibility
and
patience.
While
we
have
created
uncreated
and
recreated
a
budget.
L
Our
city,
state
and
nation
are
in
the
middle
of
a
global
pandemic.
Our
city
was
hit
and
injured
by
an
ef3
tornado.
Our
unanticipated
expenses
are
rising
and
our
revenues
from
sales,
taxes,
fees
and
other
taxes
are
declining
and
its
budget
time.
How
do
you
begin
to
prepare
a
budget
at
a
time
like
this?
The
first
thing
you
must
do
before
you
revise
refine
your
revenue
projections
before
you
look
at
your
forecasts.
The
first
thing
you
must
do
is
look
at
what
your
guiding
principles
are
going
to
be.
Mayor
Burke
did
just
that.
L
He
met
with
the
city
leadership
team
and
made
sure
that
we
understood
our
mission
was
to
come
back
to
him.
With
a
budget
that
held
these
values,
there
would
be
no
tax
increase
for
Chattanooga.
There
would
be
no
city,
employee
layoffs.
We
would
maintain
our
crucial
services
for
Chattanooga
pnes.
We
would
maintain
capital
projects
to
spur
economic
development
and
maintain
safety
net
programs
for
our
residents.
These
values
will
ensure
that
Chattanooga
can
emerge
from
this
crisis
stronger
than
before.
L
Our
usual
sources
of
funding,
especially
local
option
sales
tax,
have
been
deeply
impaired
by
the
coronavirus
crisis.
Despite
the
challenges
again,
this
budget
does
not
call
for
property
tax,
increase
layoffs
or
salary
or
service
cuts.
A
big
reason
that
we're
able
to
do
this
to
present
this
type
of
budget
to
you,
even
though
other
cities
across
the
country
are
facing
large
layoffs
and
property
tax
increases
this
year
is
because
our
city
was
an
excellent
fiscal
health.
Prior
to
this
crisis,
our
reserves
are
healthy
and
our
credit
rating
is
excellent.
L
This
is
a
budget
like
no
other
and
not
one
that
we
expected
to
deliver
to
you
today.
Our
early
projections
had
us
in
a
very
comfortable
position.
We
were
looking
at
three
percent
growth
in
a
very,
very,
very
good
year
and
now
we're
facing
this
eight
point:
four
million
dollar
reduction
in
revenue.
Earlier.
This
year
we
held
community
meetings
and
results
teams
worked
hard
to
evaluate
the
fantastic
ideas
that
were
put
together
by
our
departments
and
agencies.
Partnering
cited
about
sharing
those
new
ways
of
doing
things
and
new
programs
with
you.
L
We
were
looking
at
new
ways
to
do
compensation
for
employees,
expanded
vendor
outreach
to
increase
minority
contracting
on
city
projects,
new
classes
for
police
and
fire
expanding
early
learning,
opportunities
for
families,
increasing
desperately
needed,
homeless,
support
and
services
building
a
skatepark
like
we
just
talked
about
in
so
much
more,
but
these
are
now
items
for
another
day.
This
is
a
responsible
budget.
We
are
not
rating
our
reserve
fund
to
pay
for
this
budget
shortfall.
This
is
a
resilient
budget.
L
For
this
presentation,
Daisy
and
I
will
walk
you
through
a
little
of
the
background
of
where
the
city
was
financially
before
the
coronavirus
and
the
tornado
hit
our
city,
then
we
will
discuss
the
impact
of
those
events
on
our
revenue
and
savings.
All
is
a
backdrop
for
the
creation
of
the
budget,
we'll
walk
you
through
the
hard
choices
the
administration
made
in
order
to
balance
the
budget
and
then
we'll
end
with
a
brief
overview
of
the
fiscal
year.
21
budget
will
deliver
the
budget
in
its
entirety.
L
To
you
at
the
conclusion
of
this
presentation
via
email
is
a
PDF
as
Councilwoman
burns.
Just
alluded
to
the
hardcopy
budget
books
will
be
available
in
your
council
office
for
you
to
use
as
soon
as
you
can
get
by
there
and
collect
them.
Additionally,
the
budget
will
be
available
on
our
website
and
through
our
budgeting
app
later
today,
Daisy.
N
N
N
The
2008
recession
was
much
less
abrupt
and
tonic.
It
taught
us
the
value
of
healthy
reserves,
high
liquidity
and
long-term
fiscal
strategies.
The
drop
in
reserves
that
you
see
during
the
years
immediately
following
were
beginning
to
replenish
in
2011
to
2014.
This
was
a
time
when
market
conditions
led
to
significant
increases
in
the
cost
of
medical
and
pension
benefits
as
well
during
difficult
times.
The
city
has
always
strategically
invested
in
initiatives
that
promote
economic
growth
and
maintenance
of
existing
infrastructures
that
ensures
long-term
sustainability,
maintenance
of
strong
reserves
and
restricted
is
used
to
one-time
capital.
N
A
cost
has
enabled
the
city
to
continue
to
sustain
itself
during
difficult
financial
times
through
a
combination
of
pay-as-you-go
debt
and
capital
C,
as
you
go
capital,
finance
and
and
they're.
An
example
of
this
is
in
2009
20
million
dollars
in
incentives
were
given
to
those
wagons
during
the
recession
and
then
again
into
2015.
N
This
was
done
in
collaboration
with
Hamilton
County
and
the
state
of
Tennessee.
This
investment,
along
with
many
others
before
and
after
including
this
proposed
operations
and
capital
budget,
continue
to
put
forth
a
financial
plan
that
assures
that
Chattanooga's
were
gathered.
Will
again
whether
the
current
to
in
crisis
and
come
through
stronger
than
ever
before,
while
fund
balance
peaked
in
terms
of
dollars
to
80
million
dollars
in
2019,
it
was
at
its
highest
as
a
percentage
of
revenues
in
2018
of
29.1%,
since
it
does
not
I'll
go
to
simply
hoard
cash.
N
These
reserves
have
been,
and
hopefully
will
continue
to
be
used
for
one-time
capital
expenditures
minimizing
the
issuance
of
death,
just
as
many
other
areas
of
performance.
The
city's
financial
position
is
measured,
based
on
a
set
of
criteria
established
by
national
rating
agencies,
one
of
which
is
the
level
of
general
fund
reserves,
as
indicated
by
this
chart.
Chattanooga's
reserves
are
on
target
with
the
median
of
our
city
and
exceed
many
of
the
cities
in
Tennessee
and
Alabama
and
others
among
other
criteria.
N
N
Smart
stated,
the
FY
21
budget
shows
the
loss
of
8.4
million
dollars
due
to
the
coated
19.
All
major
revenue
sources
are
expected
to
be
done,
while
state
income
tax
shows
a
slight
increase.
This
is
totally
due
to
a
filing
deadline.
Extension
that
was
granted
by
the
state
requiring
these
collections
to
be
reported
in
21.
N
This
tax,
as
you
know,
is
phased
out
in
21,
with
the
expectation
of
minimal
returns
due
to
the
current
market.
This
represent
a
permanent
loss
of
a
significant
source
of
revenues
for
future
years.
Property
taxes
are
flat.
Historically,
property
tax
is
a
more
stable
revenue
source
and
has
been
floored
to
be
significantly
impacted
by
economic
downturn.
N
However,
a
sustained
slowdown
in
our
economy,
good
results
and
reduced
property
values,
and
thereby
a
reduction
in
property
taxes,
state
and
local
sales
taxes
are
our
most
volatile
revenue
source
with
a
combined
reduction
of
6
million
dollars
for
FY
21
state
sales.
Taxes
are
down
nearly
5
million
5
percent,
while
local
option
sales
taxes
are
projected
to
be
at
a
10
percent
reduction.
N
In
addition
to
the
economic
losses
from
coronavirus,
we
have
over
twelve
point
six
million
dollars
in
cost
from
our
response
to
the
April
tornado,
hundreds
of
City,
first
responders,
Public,
Works
employees,
emergency
contractors
and
volunteers
have
worked
tirelessly
to
clean
up
debris,
repair,
damaged
infrastructure
and
help.
Our
residents
began
to
the
long
road
back
to
normalcy,
the
northeast
Brainerd
and
the
adjacent
commune.
These
were
hit
by
the
tornado.
Your
city
workers
sprang
into
action
and
did
not
stop
for
the
next
10
days.
N
Hundreds
of
hours
of
overtime,
equipment,
cogs,
damage,
repair
and
replacement
all
cost
money.
Sure
we
are
applying
to
tema
and
FEMA
for
reimbursement,
but
that
reimbursement
could
be
could
take
months
into
the
future
and
includes
a
match.
The
city
won't
wait
to
do
this
work
because
the
people
of
East
Greenwich
should
not
have
to
wait.
We
are
spending
the
dollars
necessary
to
ensure
our
neighbors
are
made
whole.
N
It's
important
that
we
do
not
raid
our
desert
reserves.
As
Mara
has
stated,
it
is
our
primary
source
of
future
cash
loan
requirements,
combined
estimates
for
the
twin
Cove,
it
19
and
tornado
crisis
total
over
13
million
dollars
up
to
twelve
point,
six
of
which
will
be
spent
in
FY
21
for
tornado
damage
requiring
upfront
cash
outflow
pending
federal
and
state
reimbursements.
Our
cash
reserves
could
be
reduced
to
slightly
over
six
million
dollars
by
the
end
of
FY
free
right.
L
Now
you
have
a
picture
of
the
impact
on
our
revenues
and
our
fund
balance
in
creating
the
budget.
Once
we've
realized
the
devastating
impact
that
the
coronavirus
was
going
to
have
to
our
entire
economy
and
the
resulting
impact
on
our
city
budget,
we
did
what
anyone
else
does
when
you
face
lost
income,
you
make
hard
choices.
L
As
the
mayor
has
said
many
times
in
past
several
months,
the
toughest
times
bring
out
the
best
in
people.
Certainly,
we've
seen
that
time
and
again
through
the
diligent
and
tireless
work
of
our
employees
through
the
compassionate
service
of
community
partners,
working
to
educate
our
kids,
find
housing
for
the
homeless
and
provide
Cova
testing
to
the
most
vulnerable
and
through
the
cooperation
of
Chattanooga's,
who
understand
how
serious
the
crisis
still
is
and
are
working
even
now
to
limit
its
damage
to
our
community
agency.
L
Funding
will
be
reduced
by
about
2%,
which
is
a
hard
choice
at
a
time
when
social
services
are
needed
even
more,
but
we
did
maintain.
Funding
were
possible
to
continue
these
partnerships
to
ensure
these
increased
demands
are
met.
These
agencies
provide
food
and
help
for
our
residents.
These
agencies
provide
important
counseling
to
people
in
crisis
and
make
no
mistake.
These
agencies
budgets
are
under
the
same
type
of
stresses.
Our
budget
is
and
surely
are
meaningless
revenue
from
sources
other
than
ours,
and
we
understand
that,
but
we
have
to
make
hard
choices.
L
Salaries
for
all
city
personnel
are
being
frozen
at
their
fiscal
year,
20
rates.
This
includes
a
one-year
postponement
of
career
ladder,
increases
for
the
Chattanooga
Police
and
Chattanooga
fire
departments.
This
is
a
shared
pain
throughout
the
city
and
a
hard
choice,
particularly
when
we
were
poised
to
launch
and
fund
the
results
of
our
compensation
analysis.
L
Hiring
trees
has
been
in
place
since
March
and
will
continue.
This
is
a
large
part
of
how
we
will
fund
this
budget
this
year
and
make
it
work.
Our
city
budget
has
a
large
percentage
devoted
to
salaries.
We
are
saving
dollars
by
maintaining
salaries
at
their
same
level,
but
we
are
also
saving
significant
dollars
by
maintaining
current
staffing
and
this
staffing
will
stay
largely
static
throughout
the
year.
Yes,
there'll
be
critical
positions
replaced,
but
the
more
we
can
save
when
positions
are
vacant.
L
The
closer
we
come
to
meeting
a
revenue
challenge
where
you
and
the
people
of
Chattanooga
will
see
the
effects
of
this.
Although
we
will
work
to
minimize
it
as
much
as
possible
is
in
some
slowing
of
service
delivery.
Our
staff
members
will
be
asked
to
do
more
with
less
and
with
fewer
hands
to
deliver
the
services.
L
L
L
Some
of
the
highlights
you
will
find
in
the
operating
budget
are
that,
as
I
said,
core
city
services
will
be
maintained
at
current
levels.
You
will
see
that
City
staffing
will
be
maintained
at
current
levels.
Salaries
will
remain
steady
from
current
levels,
but
no
layoffs
and
no
reduction
in
salaries.
You
will
see
that
we
will
be
funding
longevity
bonuses
for
employees
who
have
worked
for
us
at
least
five
years
honoring
that
commitment.
L
You
will
see
that
fund
that
we
are
funding
the
increased
costs
of
medical
benefits
for
our
employees,
and
you
will
see
that
we
are
maintaining
the
funding
for
our
medical
and
pension
trust
funds.
You
will
not
see
any
increases
in
the
ISS
this
the
Interceptor
sewer
fund
rates,
but
you
will
see
a
small
planned
it
fee
increase
in
the
water
quality
fee.
L
On
the
capital
budget
side
you
will
see
highlights
such
as
the
replacement
of
Fire
Station
15,
a
building
that
has
long
outlived
its
useful
life
cycle
and
does
not
meet
the
needs
of
the
staff
who
live
there.
We
are
funding
an
important
safety
project
that
will
build
an
emergency
power
backup
at
our
public
safety
complex
that
will
ensure
continued
emergency
response
during
power
outages.
This
is
being
built
in
cooperation
with
EPB.
L
We
will
continue
to
reinforce
our
housing
commitment
for
Chattanooga
with
dollars
in
the
housing
trust
fund
and
another
important
part
of
our
capital
budget
is
our
roads
and
resurfacing
budget.
The
amount
we
are,
including
in
the
city,
is
the
city's
largest
contribution
to
road
repair.
This
year's
paving
budget
is
eight
point.
Four
million
dollars.
N
N
N
The
cornerstone
of
budgeted
for
outcome
is
the
allocation
of
scarce
resources
based
on
citizen
priorities.
These
priorities
has
been
established
as
safer
Street.
Stronger
neighborhood
is
high-performing
government,
smarter
students,
stronger
families
and
a
growing
economy.
Safer
streets
continues
to
be
our
highest
party
with
an
allocation
of
134
point:
five
million
dollars
of
52.7%
of
resources,
followed
by
stronger
neighborhoods.
N
At
sixteen
point,
two
percent
we'll
move
over
to
capital
funding
for
capital
budgets,
are
divided
into
two
categories:
those
supported
by
what
we
call
general
government,
which
is
comprised
of
general
fund
and
special
funds
and
those
supported
by
enterprise
operations.
This
chart
shows
the
funding
sources
for
the
general
government.
N
Moore
is
pretty
much
giving
you
a
pretty
good
highlight
up
on
the
capital,
the
major
capital
items.
This
is
another
listing
of
repeat
of
some
of
them
and
a
couple
of
others.
We
have
eight
point
four
million
dollars
for
paving
it's
more.
It
mentioned
three
point:
six
million
dollar
for
infrastructure
damaged
in
the
tornado,
repair
or
late
resort,
drive
replacement
or
fire
station
number
five
and
again
power
to
protect
public,
safe
Steve,
Michael
grant
project
and
Midtown
Parkway.
These
are
just
a
few.
N
A
separate
presentation
will
be
presented
at
one
of
your
education
sessions
to
provide
a
more
detailed
look
and
not
just
only
the
capital
programs
of
the
capital
projects
for
FY
21,
but
the
five-year
capital
plan.
As
usual
this
one,
in
addition
to
the
general
fund,
this
budget
that
is
being
presented
to
you
includes
13
other
funds,
excluding
total
expenditures
for
capital,
the
operations
budget
for
these
fourteen
funds,
combined
total
three
hundred
and
thirty
three
point:
nine
million
dollars.
N
It
also
includes
nearly
twenty
nine
point:
six
million
dollar
use
some
reserves
from
various
funds,
including
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
from
general
fund
reserves
and
in
inclusion.
One
hundred
and
fifty
six
point
five
million
dollars
for
the
first
year
of
the
five-year
capital
improvement
plan.
N
L
This
may
not
be
the
most
exciting
budget
we've
presented
to
you,
but
it
is
a
solid
city
budget.
It
is
a
budget
that
transitions
our
community
through
this
crisis
and
makes
investments
that
will
ensure
robust
economic
growth
in
our
community
when
our
country
does
begin
to
emerge
from
the
current
economic
crisis.
The
cities
that
have
the
strongest
quality
of
life
and
are
most
ready
to
do
business
will
be
the
most
competitive
we
are
committed
to
making
sure
Chattanooga
is
one
of
those
cities.
This
council
has
approved
budgets
through
the
years
that
have
made
us
strong.
L
We
have
invested
in
projects
and
built
the
infrastructure
that
has
allowed
our
city
to
grow
and
secure
our
tax
base.
We
must
not
be
afraid
to
continue
to
do
that.
We
thank
you
for
investing
in
the
things
that
you
that
have
brought
us
large
private
investments.
Those
investments
mean
we
are
not
like
other
cities.
You
read
about
in
the
news
right
now
who
are
laying
off
and
cutting
pay
for
police
officers,
firefighters
and
other
city
employees.
We
are
determined
not
to
do
that.
L
Chattanooga's
history
is
about
overcoming
impossible
odds
and
bouncing
back
the
next
strategy.
The
next
chapter
of
our
story
will
reflect
this
strength,
but
city
government
must
make
sure
we
position
the
city
for
long
term
success.
This
budget
does
that
and
make
sure
that
Chattanooga
will
emerge
stronger
and
even
more
resilient
for
tomorrow's
challenges.
L
Q
A
Q
What
I
will
need
from
you
once
you
get
this.
This
schedule
is
any
other
places
that
a
consensus
of
the
council
wants
to
do
what
we're
calling
a
deep
dive,
and
we
will
spend
sessions
on
that.
If
there
are
those
of
you
who
again
want
to
go
through
the
whole
budget,
fine,
we
can
do
that
offline
or
if
there
are
any
of
you
that
aren't
in
the
consensus
but
want
to
look
at
a
particular
area.
We
can
do
that
awesome.
O
That's
okay:
my
question
is
for
either
Mora
or
Daisy.
So
no
questions
about
process,
ma'am,
okay,
go
ahead,
quick
question
for
morale
or
Daisy
and
regarding
the
property
tax
adjustment
for
the
tornados.
You
have
that
as
a
flat
item
or
zero
percentage
now,
do
you
anticipate
that
number
becoming
a
factor
as
we
learn
more
about
homes
that
are
destroyed
or
reclassified
to
their
values?.
N
At
this
point,
we
have
not
taken
that
into
consideration.
It
is
the
expectation
that
those
homes
will
probably
be
returned
to
their
original
values
sooner
hopefully
rather
than
later.
But
at
this
point,
generally
speaking
as
I
told
you,
property
taxes
is
generally
considered
to
be
flat
now
under
normal
circumstances,
that
would
have
been
an
increase,
but
in
keeping
it
flat,
you
have
acknowledged
that
they
are
either
change.
N
Okay,
break
it
down
Local
Option,
Sales
Tax
is
taxes
that
have
been
is
really
in
Hamilton
County,
Local,
Option,
Sales,
Tax
and
right
now
is
two
point,
think
is
still
2.25
percent
of
the
total
taxes
that
you
pay
on
retail
sales
and
that
tax
is
allocated
within
the
city
on
what
we
call
a
situs
basis,
meaning
that
the
entity
the
it
is
distributed
based
upon
the
location
of
the
retail
establishment.
So
a
lot
of
those
businesses
are
in
the
city,
and
that
is
a
relatively
large
source
of
dollars
for
the
city.
N
N
N
N
N
And
the
first
thing
this
year
we
put
a
table
of
contents
that
is
much
more
detail
than
normal
and
we'll
have
when
all
of
the
offers
are
and
it'll
whisk,
to
make
it
much
easier
for
you
to
find.
There
are
tabs
that
show
overall,
summary
revenues,
it's
going
to
jurors
general
fund
and
it
has
it
for
each
department
tabs
for
each
department
and
when
you
want
Hotel
Motel,
there
is
a
tab.
This
is
Hotel
Motel.
Thank.
J
N
O
O
Table,
okay,
very
good.
Thank
you.
I'll!
Go
by
the
morning,
I
look
forward
to
to
to
getting
it
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
No
come
on
come
tonight,
I'm
still
the
middle
of
tornado
here.
Thank
you
for
I
know,
probably
a
lot
of
difficult
choices.
It
looks
like
that
you
know
we're
all
making
some
interesting
choices
these
days,
and
it
looks
like
that.
You
have
really
outdone
yourselves
on
this
budget.
I
could
say
in
advance
with
the
focus
on
infrastructure,
with
a
focus
on
people
and
I.
O
N
I
just
wanted
to
comment.
I
always
like
to
make
sure
you
guys
recognize
and
understand
the
dedication
and
quality
of
staff
that
you
have
that
works
on
this
budget
from
a
virtual
perspective
remotely
they
really
worked,
and
you
know,
as
you
can
imagine,
it
was
not
an
eight-hour
day.
14-Hour
days.
They
they
were,
they
did
it
willingly.
N
No
complaints,
so
I
just
want
to
publicly
thank
them,
and
if
you
see
them
thank
them
and
not
just
them
all
of
the
administrators
and
so
forth,
as
Mark
mentioned,
and,
of
course,
the
mayor's
guidance
and
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity.
One
last
time
too,
I
noticed
the
for
Councilman
Gilbert.
If
you
have,
if
there
is
an
outstanding
request,
I
will
be
happy
if
this
budget
doesn't
answer
and
your
question
since
certain
revenues,
I
will
be
extremely
happy
to
talk
to
you
and
provide
whatever
additional
information.
I
can
Thank
You.
A
Q
Mr.
chair
I
think
that
the
best
way
we
met
and
decided
the
best
way
to
handle
that
is
directly
and
and
try
to
get
them
answered.
So
let's
go
through
Mara
and
if
at
some
point
and
I'm
going
to
be
that
next
week,
if
there's
some
issue
that
the
whole
council
feels
is
important
and
they
want
on
the
agenda
for
a
public
discussion,
then
we'll
add
that
to
the
agenda
very.
