City Council Agenda Session 09-22-20
A
A
All
right
minutes
will
stand
as
a
as
approved
and
as
recorded
on
our
agenda
this
afternoon,
we
do
have
a
couple
of
planning
items
on
final
read:
is
there
anything
that
needs
to
be
brought
to
our
attention
on
either
one
of
these
two
items
councilman.
B
Ledford
chairman,
can
I
ask
the
chair:
if
he's
okay
with
his
amendments
from
last
week,
I.
A
Am
sir,
thank
you
very
much.
We're
we're
good
to
go
on
the
amendments
from
last
week,
very
good,
thank
you,
sir,
and
and
and
by
the
way
mr
bridger
sent
me
an
email.
I
do
have
an
email
from
the
applicant
stating
that
he
is
agreeable
to
these
amendments.
Okay,
just
for
the
record.
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
C
An
ordinance
to
amend
the
operations
budget,
ordinance,
number
13558
known
as
the
fiscal
year
2020
to
2021
operations,
budget
ordinance
so
as
to
appropriate
1.5
million
from
the
general
fund
reserves
to
the
electric
power
board
of
chattanooga
for
the
hamilton
county
schools,
education
connect
initiative,
which
has
been
covered
by
favorable
operations
during
fiscal
year.
20.
C
D
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
I
asked
maura.
There
has
been
some
confusion
about
this,
and
so
I've
asked
mara.
If
she
would
please
explain
why
we
have
an
alternative
version
here,
which
one
we're
talking
about.
I
think
it's
a
bit
unclear,
so
I've
asked
her
please
to
do
that.
If
she
will
please
okay.
A
Looks
like
miss
lydia
is
on
it
good
afternoon,
ms
sullivan
good
afternoon,
mr
chair.
How
are
you
today
I'm
well
okay,
and
you
do
you
think
you
can
explain
this
to
where
we
can
all
understand
it.
E
We
had
a
human
error
with
that
with
that
page
69,
and
we
are
asking
that
you
replace
that
page
69
that
we
go
back
in
time
and
and
correct
that
error,
replacing
page
69
with
the
new
page
69
that
we've
given
you
the
only
thing
that
we
would
like
for
you
to
do
in
that
is
also
the
people
who
would
have
gotten
the
increase
to
their
pay
by
virtue
of
the
federal
poverty
rate
increase
that
we
have
that
we
have
agreed
to
do
that.
E
We
have
that
we
desire
to
do
and
that
you
we
told
you
about
in
the
budget.
We
would
like,
for
those
folks
to
be
able
to
get
their
pay
retroactively
back
to
july
1..
So
all
of
the
budget
amendments
that
are
before
you
take
effect
on
the
date
that
you
vote
on
them.
This
one
is
is
the
only
one
that
we
would
like
to
have
a
retroactive
date
of
july,
one
on
it.
So
that's
why
you
have
the
retroactive
version.
E
I
believe
that
it's
called,
so
we
would
like
for
you
to
to
consider
approving
the
retroactive
version
of
page
69
back
to
the
july
1st
date.
F
Councilman
gilbert,
yes
chair:
can
you
bring
up
miss
daisy
too.
C
G
F
Yes,
I
know
that
mayor
byrd
administration
always
look
ahead
and
try
to
plan
for
the
future
of
different
or
major
projects,
and
I
know
we
begin
to
start
talking
about
the
conversation
study
from
2018
2019
2020
beginning
and
I'm
not
mistaking
that
we
set
aside
x
amount
of
dollars
to
in
this
program
to
anticipate
that
it
would
cost
quite
a
bit
of
money,
even
though
we
didn't
have
a
study
at
that
time.
But
we
did
know
that
it
was
going
to
be
a
cost
factor
in
there.
G
Okay,
councilman.
Thank
you.
That's
an
ongoing
question.
Each
year
we
do
an
operations
budget
and
that
budget
covers
the
period
july
1
through
june
30,
to
do
june.
30.
all
the
costs
associated
with
that
period
and
operationally
the
base
of
budget
that
you
set
means
that
I
can
carry
this
amount
of
dollars
or
this
amount
of
cost
in
the
future,
with
the
existing
source
of
revenues
or
the
available
revenues
that
I
anticipate
so
and
the
the
years
that
you
are
referring
to
when
we
were
anticipating
the
compensation
implementation.
G
We
did
set
aside
dollars-
and
I
think
last
year
was
about
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
just
like
with
anything
else,
and
I
think
we
may
have
done
that
too
fiscal
years,
just
like
with
anything
else.
G
So
it's
the
basic
concept,
the
basic
principle
that
says
you
cannot
use
reserve
dollars
to
pay
salaries
or
other
ongoing
operations.
Unless
you
can
identify
increased
revenues
in
the
future
years
that
are
equal
to
or
more
than
that
to
sustain
it.
F
Well,
excuse
me
by
you
saying
that
we
say
we
put
aside
1.5
million
in
the
official
year,
2019
2020,
which
is
1.5
million
at
that
time.
Kovy
was
not
present
until
after
in
2020,
our
physical
budget
for
that
year
was
from
20
to
19
to
220
or
july
of
june
of
31st
or
june
30th.
F
G
G
When
it
was
not
when
we
were
not
able
to
finalize
the
compensation
plan
in
a
manner
that
we
can
professionally
or
or
support
a
plan
that
would
allow
that,
yes,
those
monies
were
used
for
either
used
for
other
purposes
and,
quite
honestly,
when
they
went
when
they
go
into
the
reserves
each
year.
That's
it
allows
us
to
do
one-time
type
expenditures
that
we
had
not
anticipated,
but
the
biggest
year
is.
F
But
I
must
understand
something
I
know
we
got.
We
went
and
had
a
study
on
around.
I
think
it
was
february
the
12th
and
the
14th
about
this
about
the
studies
it
comes
in
a
study
we
knew
at
that
time.
It
was
three
categories,
it
cost
x
amount
of
dollars
and
one
of
them
was
tma.
You
want,
I
think,
six
or
four
since
bows
knowing
this,
then
why
did
we
not
took
that?
Take
that
1.5
million
and
move
forward
toward
the
come?
Save
the
study?
So
we
already
know
the
cost.
G
Well,
actually,
the
cost
is
one
thing,
and
I
think
there
were
questions
that
were
raised
even
by
this
council
as
we
brought
it
forth
relative
to
benefits
and
things
of
that
nature.
But
the
implementation
is
another,
it's
another
issue
and
it's
like
with
anything
lots
of
times.
You
come
up
with
a
plan,
and
I
don't
think
that
plan
was
totally
finalized
until
last
budget
year
in
terms
of
what
an
estimated
cost
is,
but
even
with
that
the
implement
it
was
8
million
bucks
or
10
million
dollars.
So
then
the
next
step
became.
H
And
thank
you
chair
maura
help
me
understand
because
I
talked
to
some
city
employees
and
they
came
to
me
and
said
that
hey,
regular
employees
are
not
getting
raises
this
year.
H
The
people
that
are
making
50,
000
and
up
are
getting
raises
this
year,
and
I
said
no,
nobody
is
getting
a
raise
this
year
because
of
the
situation
we
in
and
do
any
one
of
these,
which
one
of
these
make
sure
we
take
care
of
those
lower
employees
at
the
bottom
that
are
not
making
the
money
that
they
should
be
making,
because
we
know
that
they've
been
fighting
for
these
raises
forever
and
we
want
to
give
them
to
them.
H
But
if
it's
not
there,
I
do
understand
that
we
can't
move
forward,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
which
one
of
these
versions
that
we
need
to
be
voting
on
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
those
ones.
That's
in
that
poverty
level,.
E
Well,
thank
you
for
that
and
no
sir,
we
do
not
have
any
raises
for
anyone
this
year.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
know
that.
There's
still
some
confusion
about
that
and
we'll
work
harder
to
to
make
sure
that
that
is
not
that.
That
is
not
a
confusion
and
the
one
that
they
both
do.
The
same
thing
both
versions
do
the
same
thing.
They
replace
page
69
with
the
correct
budget
plan.
Pay
plans.
E
Excuse
me
that
we
presented
in
the
budget,
but
one
of
them
does
it
a
little
better
than
the
other,
the
one
that
says,
retro
version.
Is
it
a
little
better?
It's
a
retroactive
version.
It
allows
us
to
pay
the
people
who
are
not
at
that
federal
poverty
rate,
all
the
way
back
to
july
1.,
so
they'll
get
a
little
a
little
lump
sum
and
and
then
move
forward
from
there.
So
it
allows
us
to
pay
back
to
july
1.,
so
retroactive
version
does
it?
Does
it
a
little
better.
H
E
Oh
yeah,
absolutely
and
again
it's
it's
the
same
you're
paying
the
folks
who
make
the
difference
in
the
federal
poverty
rate
this
year
we
are
our
base.
Salary
is
1238
per
hour
in
last
fiscal
year
and
then
this
year
to
move
it
to
the
federal
poverty
rate,
which
is
1260
an
hour
this
year.
E
We
should
have
had
a
pay
plan
in
that
indicated
that,
and
that
is
all
and
that's
what
was
supposed
to
be
on
page
69
of
this
year's
budget
and
and
if
it
had
been,
then
that
would
be
the
only
that
that
would
be.
What
you
would
be
approving
today
is
what
we're
asking
you
to
approve
today
is
so
that
that
could
begin
on
july.
1St
okay
retroactively
back.
A
All
right
any
other
questions,
councilwoman
coonrod.
I
Thank
you
chair.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
I
think
we
kind
of
touched
on
all
those
questions.
That's
been
asked
today
that
the
purpose
of
it
for
us
to
even
be
bring
it
up
by
daisy,
more
or
the
administration
was
because
it
was
only
a
draft
copy,
and
in
that
draft
copy
it
was
saying
that
people
that
make
a
higher
end
of
the
income
they
were
going
to
get
a
15
raise
and
the
people
who
were
on
the
lower
end
they
weren't
going
to
get
nothing
but
a
two
percent
raise.
I
So,
if
that's
how
I
took
it
and
that's
how
I
explained
to
my
district
9
constituents,
but
I
think,
but
I'm
more
concerned
of
the
employees
who
actually
are
going
to
be
getting
a
raise,
do
we
have
like
the
which
the
classifications
that's
going
to
be
getting
the
increase
in
the
wages?
So
is
it
like
janitorial
or
receptionist
or
miss
root,
or
you
know
those
type
jobs.
E
Yes,
yes,
we
do
the
we
do
have
that
those
classifications
and
I
can
get
we
have
all
of
that
lined
out.
I
can
get
hr
to
send
that
to
you
or
or
finance,
I'm
not
sure
which
one
you
you
probably
both
have
it.
So
we
can.
We
can
send
that
to
you
probably
this
afternoon.
I
E
I
know
before
we're
making
12
1238
at
the
bottom
of
the
pay
scale
right
now
and
12
38
per
hour.
I
So
the
next
budget
cycle,
because,
as
I
heard
you
say,
miss
daisy,
because
I
want
to
make
sure-
because
I
know
it'll
be
a
lot
of
noise
if
this
pass
or
not
that
from
what
I
spoke
with
you
and
asked
you
about,
so
we
can't
and
how
you've
explained
it
to
russell,
and
you
know
sometimes
you
got
to
break
it
down
on
a
rudimentary
level
to
me.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
I
really
understand
it.
So
I
won't
ask
the
same
questions
again.
I
What
you're
saying
is
that
in
this
operating
budget,
in
order
for
us
to
use
those
funds
to
1.5
million,
or
so
we
have
to
be
able
to
show
year
after
year
after
year,
how
we
can
sustain
those
raises.
Is
that
correct?
Okay?
So
if
we're
not,
then
we
can't
use
that
money,
absolutely
not
fun.
Okay,
just
want
to
make
sure.
I
understand
it
because
you
know
russell.
He
eloquently
asked
the
questions
in
three
different
ways.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
not
getting
confused,
but
so
I'm
good
thanks.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair
maura,
councilwoman
kunrad
touched
on
on
a
point
softly,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is
really
clear
for
employees
because
we
keep
saying
there
are
no
raises,
but
then
there
are
raises
so
once
again
restating
what
we're
doing
is
bringing
that
base
or
bringing
them
to
the
federal
base.
I'm
12
did
you
say
12
38.
Is
that
right.
E
We're
currently
at
12,
38.
and
we'll
the
new
federal
poverty
rate
is
12.60
right.
J
E
Well,
they
they
have
a
different
pay
plan,
but
they
are
not
they're
all
higher
than
that.
F
G
No,
we,
when
you
say
for
projects
for
two
years,
if
there
is
a
capital
project
or
if
there
is
something
that
is
not
the
operations
fund,
that's
why
we
put
them
as
special
projects.
Those
dollars
do
carry
over
from
year
to
year,
but
if
it
is
general
fund
operations,
they
do
not
carry
over
and
if
they
was
they
go
into
general
fund,
they
are,
they
are
only
used
for
one-time
type
expenditures.
G
I
mean
guys
that
is
this.
That's
just
one
basic
principle
from
governmental
or
just
sound
financial
management
that
your
savings
are
not
for
operations,
your
savings
or
the
the.
The
idea
is
that
it's
a
to
cover
those
unforeseen
type
items,
salaries
and
benefits
are
not
unforeseen
and
the
idea
that
you
and
the
idea
that
if
I
spend
it
without
a
plan
to
sustain
it,
then
it's
short-term,
it's
very
short-sighted
and
from
abundant
the
bun
underraters.
G
F
So
you
say
I
can
only
keep
on
saying
reserve,
but
I
was
speaking
of
the
money
being
their
present
in
july,
the
30th
that
we
could
have
moved
it
to
somewhere
for
the
kid
for
the
employees
to
have
some
type
of
phrase.
G
A
I
It's
a
new
hand
and
then
it's
my
last
thing
because
I
I
just
realized
burp.
He
made
a
good
point
like
how
you
know
our
employees
they'll
think:
oh
well,
we're
not
getting
a
raise
or
people
that
make
more
money
get
a
raise
and
they
confuse
that
sometimes
with
a
person.
Getting
a
promotion
raise
and
promotions
are
two
different
things.
So
just
for
the
record
I
mean
I
know
we
all.
We
all
know
what
that
means,
but
just
for
the
record
morrow
daisy.
I
Do
you
mind
just
giving
us
a
little
snippet
of
what
that
means?
This
is
what
it
means
when
you're
gonna
get
a
raise.
This
is
what
it
mean
if
you're
gonna
get
a
promotion,
because
they'll
look
at
the
promotion
and
think
well
alice
got
promoted
to
be
executive
director,
so
now
she's
making
25
000
more.
She
got
a
raise,
but
it's
actually
a
promotion.
A
A
A
Let's
move
into
resolutions:
seven
hey,
madam
clerk.
L
L
The
mayor
to
enter
into
an
exit,
execute
a
real
estate
purchase
and
option
agreement
relative
to
the
purchase
of
lots
1
to
be
an
option
to
purchase
lot
to
a
located
at
the
enterprise
south
industrial
park
and
authorize
the
mayor
to
execute
a
deed
and
other
necessary
closing
documents.
Conveying
said
property.
So
the
purchase
is
listed
here
and
below
upon
payments
of
the
sale
price.
By
the
way.
M
Okay,
I'm
good
mr
chair
we've
discussed
this
for
the
past
couple
of
weeks
and
I'm
not
aware
of
any
questions
my
colleagues
may
have,
but.
C
I
Thank
you
chair,
I'm
concerned
about.
I
You
know
where
this
this
goodwill
industry
will
be
relocating
to
it,
if
they're
even
too
able
to
afford
any
lease
with
private
people,
but
I
want
to
know:
do
we
have
any
city
owned
buildings
that
they
can
relocate
to
or
if
they
can
do
a
shared
agreement
with
the
bessie,
since
they
have
that
downstairs
space
because
they
offer
us
when
you
think
about
the
furniture
bank,
when
you
forget
about
the
forgot
think
about
the
forgotten
child
fund
and
the
different
things
that
they
do,
the
vote,
rehab
kids,
that
come
help
out
as
well
is
that
the
services
are
needed,
and
I
most
definitely
wouldn't
I'm
not
the
aim
center
project,
it's
a
great
project
as
well,
but
we
still
they're
still
trying
to
secure
the
funding
for
the
project.
I
A
I
A
Hey
miss
sullivan
hello,
chair
got
a
question.
Councilwoman
kunroz
brought
up
a
great
point.
A
I
was
wondering,
maybe
in
our
next
strategic
planning
in
october,
if
we
could
have
an
update
on
kind
of
what's
happening
with
the
with
the
furniture
bank
or
the
I'm
sorry,
the
goodwill
industries
yeah
just
to
kind
of
give
us
a
update
on
what
what
is
occurring
what's
been
going
on.
What
what
it
looks
like
they're,
going
to
be
able
to
do
as
far
as
relocate.
E
We
will
do
it
our
ecd
department,
as
well
as
tyler
yount
in
the
mayor's
office,
so
between
richard
b,
land
and
and
tyler
yount.
We've
had
a
lot
of
discussions
with
forgotten
child
fund
and
with
with
the
furniture
bank,
and
we
will
be
glad
to
bring
you
all
a
report
and
update
on
that
at
our
at
strategic
planning.
A
Okay,
madam
clerk,
would
you
put
that
on
our
strategic
planning
agenda
for
our
first
meeting
in
october?
Yes,
sir,
okay,
thank
you.
Miss
solo.
Will
that
be
goodness,
councilwoman
coonrod.
I
C
A
Okay-
and
I
did
add
this
by
permission-
just
yesterday-
miss
williams-
I
see
miss
williams
in
attendance.
Would
you
bring
her
in
so
she
could
explain.
Maybe
what
has
transpired
I
mean
this
is
some
really
good
news?
That's
going
to
be,
I
think
some
great
help.
That's
that's
needed,
but
we
had
to
move
rather
quickly.
N
Absolutely
the
this
money
721
thousand
dollars
and
some
change
was
money
that
to
use
a
hood
word
was
recaptured
cdbg
funds
and
that
basically
means
that
there
were
other
recipients
of
past
cdbg
allocations
that
either
did
not
use
the
money
that
they
were
allocated
or
they
misused
the
money
that
they
were
allocated
and
hud
did
not
reimburse
them.
N
So,
as
you
all
are
well
aware,
I
believe
the
end
of
the
federal
fiscal
year
is
september
30.,
so
rightfully
so
they
are
sweeping
accounts,
and
so
we
were
able
to
end
up
with
721
000,
I
think
is
31
for
cdbg-dr.
Dr
is
a
coding
for
disaster
relief.
N
We've
never
received
this
money
before
the
city
of
chattanooga
has
never
received
dr
money
in
the
pa
in
the
past.
So
yesterday,
at
2
38,
we
received
an
email
from
hud
saying
that
if
we
could
get
the
agreement
signed
by
thursday,
the
24th
by
the
mayor,
then
they
would
be
able
to
allocate
those
funds
to
us
this
fiscal
year,
meaning
by
september
30..
N
So
we're
super
happy
about
that,
and
they
are
funds
that
follow
the
regular
cdbg
guidelines
and
the
one
that's
most
relevant
and
easiest
to
explain
is
that
the
recipients
of
the
fund
funds
must
be
the
household
at
80
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income
or
below
so
80
of
ami
or
below
is
the
income
household
income
level
for
recipients,
and
this
money
is
to
be
used,
can
be
used
county-wide.
B
Yesterday,
as
well
during
a
late
zoom
meeting
with
with
some
staff,
my
question
is:
when
you
mention
the
county,
these
funds
are
applicable
to
city
and
county.
Are
they
going
to
be
split
in
any
way
with
the
county
or
what
action
is
required
on
the
county's
part
in
order
for
us
to
secure
this,
because
I
know,
we've
only
have
a
few
days
to
formulate
a
plan
and
I
think
make
an
amendment
to
our
action
plan.
N
Well,
ordinarily,
that's
exactly
what
would
happen,
but
our
hud
folks
have
said
we
know
we're
doing
this
out
of
order
because
they're
trying
to
move
the
money
by
september
30
to
allocate
it
for
this
fiscal
year.
So
their
communication
to
us
was
the
good
news.
Is
you
have
access
to
this
money?
The
bad
news
is,
we
need
your
mirror
to
sign
it
and
get
it
back
to
us
by
september,
34th
24th,
so
we
can
get
it
in
the
september
30
fiscal
fiscal
year
end
and
ordinarily
you're
right
councilman.
N
We
would
be
writing
a
plan
that
they
would
approve,
but
given
the
circumstances
they
are,
they
said
we'll
give
you
the
money
and
we'll
we'll
work
together,
hood
and
in
the
city
on
the
actual
plan.
B
Okay,
so
we
have
some
grace
applied
here
from.
N
Them,
yes,
sir,
we
just
we'll
let
them
know
what
we
would
like
the
funds
to
be
used
for,
of
course,
in
accordance
to
the
cdbg
guidelines.
We're
also
hoping
that
there
will
be
some
waivers
given
the
nature
of
the
the
money
and
the
nature
of
our
needs.
But
we
won't
know
that,
for
probably
a
couple
of
weeks,
great.
B
Well,
I
know
there's
some
areas
outside
of
east
brainerd,
obviously
that
the
tornado
affected
and
I
would
love
to
sit
down
and
maybe
councilwoman
coonrod
and
dr
burris,
and
sit
down
with
you
or
or
zoom
in
whatever.
We
want
to
do
to
see
how
we
might
be
able
to
help
identify
some
good
use
for
those
funds,
and
that's
really
good
news.
Thanks
donna.
N
Sure
so
so
what
and
what
sandra
gober
and
I
are
working
on
is
a
checklist,
so
everybody
will
know
what
are
allowable
uses
for
cdbg
and
and
of
course,
the
recipients
have
to
be
80
of
the
ami,
and
then
anybody
that
meets
those
eligibility
and
they're
a
hamilton
county
resident.
They
are
eligible.
That's
good,
great
news.
Thank.
B
I
Thank
you,
chair
and
donna.
She
asked
my
questions
about.
I
needed
to
know
like.
Is
there
a
list
of
what
the
money
can
be
spent
on?
So
you
all
are
working
on
that
and
I
love
to
see
that
now.
If
it's
a
county
resident
that
reach
out
to
us,
do
we
direct
them
to
ecd
or
we
send
them
back
to
the
county
to
go
through
their
process.
N
No
any
anybody,
that's
interested
in
cdbg
funds,
as
always,
would
be
directed
to
us.
I
gotta
get
it.
I
Okay,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
I
was
excited
when
you
know
I
read
the
email
about
it.
I
know
councilman
left
for
he's
most
definitely
been
advocating
for
it,
and
the
first
thing
came
to
mind.
I
was
like
boy
that
would
move
fast
who
he
need
to
connect
me
to
ben
carson.
N
We're
very
fortunate
to
you
know
to
find
ourselves
in
this
situation.
As
you
know,
knoxville
got
some
of
the
money.
This
this
city
has
been
very
responsible
with
the
cdbg
funds,
and
we've
demonstrated
start
to
finish
application
to
compliance
that
we
take
the
allocation
of
our
money
seriously
and
that
we
manage
it,
and
somebody
from
hood
can
come
in
here
and
go
through
our
files,
and
we
feel
confident
that
we
will
pass
the
test,
and
one
of
those
reasons
is
because
we
we
follow
the
rules.
N
A
All
right
any
other
questions
for
miss
williams.
If
not
miss
lydia,
you
can
excuse
her.
Thank
you.
Miss
williams,
okay.
Moving
on
now
to
some
short-term
vacation
rental
applications,
look
like
both
of
them's
in
district
nine.
Let's
read
them
for
the
record,
no
matter
what
do
what
I
say
district!
Seven!
Thank
you,
but.
C
M
Yeah,
I
will
be
addressing
both
of
those
at
our
six
o'clock
meeting
council.
So,
okay.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Miss
lydia,
can
you
see
if
mr
hunt
is
out
there,
he.
B
O
Yes,
sir,
at
least
you
need
to
have
the
current
year
financial
report
added
here.
If
that
be
an
issue
on
there,
the
version
that
we
have
at
least
connected
with
your
packet
here
today
looks
like
it's
dated
september
4th,
I'm
I'm
not
sure.
If
there's
been
any
amendment
recently,
okay.
B
Well
I'll,
let
mr
hunt,
if
he
doesn't
mind,
I
think
they
met
and
amended
their
version.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
understood
which
one
and
then
the
second
part
of
that
question
is,
I
think,
there's
a
letter
that
went
out
from
mr
hunt
that
addresses
some
concerns.
That
council
had
and
I
think
they've
been.
I
think,
they've
been
addressed,
mr
hunt,
but
I'll
give
let
you
have
the
floor
and
address
that
letter
you
sent
out
to
us,
sir.
K
Thank
you,
councilman,
council
members.
Thank
you
for
the
time
today
on
the
first
matter,
it
was
my
screw-up
actually
that
we
in
our
board
meeting
on
november
the
I
mean
I'm
sorry
september
the
16th.
Last
week,
we
at
the
advice
of
our
finance
committee,
thought
it
was
prudent
to
have
an
operating
reserve
so
that
in
the
years
that
we
go
forward,
we
might
have
a
deficit
budget.
K
We
are
proposing
a
deficit
deficit
budget
for
2021..
The
reason
that
we
can
do
that
are
is
twofold.
One
in
in
2020
we
have
our
a
lyndhurst
grant
that
we
will
not
have
again
in
the
future.
We
had
the
city
treasurer
that
began.
Collecting
the
assessments
for
october
november
and
december
for
2019
was
paid
to
us
in
2020,
so
we
have
a
extra
little
bit
of
money
that
we
wouldn't
ordinarily
have
in
a
calendar
year,
and
then
our
expenses
were
down
primarily
because
of
covet.
K
We
could
not
open
an
office
nor
hire
ambassadors
due
to
covet
in
march
or
april
as
we
had
intended,
but
we
were
able
to
do
that
in
august,
the
first.
So,
for
those
reasons
this
year
we
had
a
surplus.
It
is
not
our
intention
to
operate
with
a
surplus,
so
our
treasurer
recommended
that
we
set
aside
an
operating
reserve
for
future
years
and
I
and
so
the
board
our
board.
K
The
alliance
board
voted
last
wednesday
to
include
that
in
our
2021
budget,
so
we'll
have
an
operating
reserve
of
230
000
in
our
2021
budget
and
that
did
not
appear
in
the
material
that
we
had
reviewed
with
you
previously,
and
that
is
my
fault.
I
apologize
to
the
council
for
that
I'll
pause
there
and
ask
if
there
are
any
questions
on
that
budget
and
before
moving
on
to
the
nonprofit
conversation.
B
O
We
need
to
have
some
recognition
that
that
has
been
provided
to
you
if
you're
approving
that
for
fiscal
year,
2021.
that
that's
the
only
concern
about
that.
My
other
concern
in
this
is
that
we
also
need
to
authorize
the
interim
treasurer
to
collect
the
special
assessment
if
you're
going
to
do
that
pretty
quickly,
because
the
billing
goes
out
on
october,
the
1st,
which
this
would
be
included
on,
so
that
that's
one
concern
about
that.
B
O
B
How
do
we
label
that
new
version
to
make
sure
that
that
is
a
version
that
is
to
be
voted
on
versus
the
original
budget
that
we
discussed
and
was
presented
to
us?
We
would.
O
O
Good
very
good:
how
will
I
receive
a
copy
of
that
proposed
budget
very.
B
A
Mr
hunt,
what
date
was
the
budget
amended.
A
D
Yeah,
this
is
just
a
question
of
I
guess
protocol
here.
Steve,
did
you
say
you
you
can't
you
have
a
deficit.
Tell
me
your
budget.
Did
you
use
your
deficit
budget.
K
Yes,
ma'am
and
the
information
we
presented
to
the
council
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
Our
proposed
budget
for
2021
shows
an
operating
deficit
of
about
13,
000
and
some
change,
and
I
think
that
is
because
we
have
a
few
grant
opportunities
that
are
unknown
right
now
and
and
we
are
projecting
to
to
operate
2021
at
a
13
000
deficit.
K
So
let
me
clarify
from
this:
let
me
tell
you
where.
D
I'm
going
leah,
let
me
tell
you
where
I'm
going
with
this:
I'm
not
sure
we
can
approve
a
deficit
budget,
no
ma'am,
all
right!
So
here's
my
question
did
and-
and
this
is
thank
you
darren.
This
is
kind
of
news
to
me.
It
was
your
original
budget
that
we
approved.
D
I
didn't
see
that
as
being
a
deficit
budget,
I
saw
it
as
a
balanced
budget
right
and
then,
subsequent
to
that,
you
came
up
with
another
budget.
That's
putting
some
money
aside.
I
get
that
so
in
turn
the
budget
becomes
a
deficit
budget
and
I'm
not
sure
we
can
approve
a
deficit
budget.
That's
my
question.
K
Yes,
ma'am,
so
let
me
I
may
be
not
using
the
proper
terminology,
but
in
our
2020
forecast
that
we
presented
to
the
council,
along
with
the
2021
budget,
we
had
a
what
we
called
a
fund
balance
of
620,
000
and
620
900
599,
and
so
that
is
in
the
bank.
And
so
we
start
out
2021
with
that,
but
not
from
an
operating
standpoint
from
an
operating
standpoint.
K
We
look
at
the
assessment
and
any
contributed
support,
such
as
a
grant
and
get
a
total
revenue
for
our
projected
2021
of
eight
hundred
and
ninety
two
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
operating
expenses
are
projected
to
be
nine
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
dollars,
and
so
the
operating
budget
is
a
deficit,
but
with
then
we
have
capital
expenditures
and
that
fund
balance
carryover.
K
Our
goal
will
be
to
zero
out
our
budget
so
that
we
are
representing
the
property
owner's
best
interest
every
year.
So
therefore,
simply
taking
that
cash
reserve
and
and
not
calling
it
a
fund
balance
but
showing
that
on
our
budget,
so
that
we
have
that
rainy
day
fund
much
like
the
city
and
the
county
have
their
rainy
day
fund.
D
O
Does
phil
have
an
answer
in
that
regard?
The
the
answer
is
that
the
funding
is
an
amount
that
is
set
aside
and
is
to
be
approved
for
a
specific
amount
for
each
property.
The
amount
was
set
out
in
our
ordinance
to
result
in
a
one
million
dollar
amount.
That
was
the
amount
that
it
was
based
upon
and
that
is
available
for
the
year
unless
you
change
the
amount
of
that.
I
think
you
can
go
the
way
that
it
was
originally
here,
because
it's
not
changing
the
number
that
is
in
the
ordinance.
O
O
Yes,
ma'am
because
that
body
was
created
to
be
able
to
provide
the
benefits
at
the
rate
of
money
of
a
one
million
dollar
amount
last
year
in
your
ordinance
you're,
not
changing
your
ordinance
amount,
you're
simply
reviewing
the
proposals
that
they
have
for
the
coming
year.
You're
trying
to
establish
is
that
something
appropriate
and
they
are
not
asking
for
an
increased
amount
in
the
budget.
Ordinance.
D
So
you're
saying
all
we're
doing
is
saying
so
all
we're
doing
is
improving
go
forward
with
this
one
million
dollar,
even
though
that
could
be
an
illusion,
because
they've
not
brought
that
in-
and
I
wasn't
concerned
about
that
it
was
the
fact
that
our
budget
can't
be
deficit.
Can
we
approve
somebody
else's.
O
O
Okay,
thank
you!
Yes,
ma'am
and
one
of
the
other
important
issues
while
you're
thinking
about
that
is,
there's
going
to
have
to
be
some
sort
of
bill
that
goes
out
to
collect
that,
and
there
has
to
be
authorization
to
collect
that
by
the
treasurer's
office,
and
that
is
the
concern
as
to
whether
it
gets
done
between
now
and
october.
1St.
A
K
Oh
yes,
sir
mcgilbert,
our
treasurer
is
gordon.
Stalin's
he's
the
chief
financial
officer
at
the
tennessee
aquarium
and
the
creative
discovery
museum
he's
used
to
working
on
budgets
like
this,
and
he
and
reviewing
it
with
the
finance
committee
has
and
and
because
of
the
the
items
that
I
mentioned
previously,
the
the
more
money
coming
in
from
2019
carrying
into
2020
and
our
the
expenses
being
far
less
than
we
had
projected.
K
Then
he
has
determined
that
it
would
be
prudent
and
fiscally
conservative
conservative
for
us
to
set
aside
that
cash
reserve
in
case
something
were
to
happen
or
in
case
a
capital
project
were
to
come
up.
Maybe
there's
art
in
the
district
that
needs
to
be
funded,
maybe
there's
animation
in
the
district
that
needs
to
be
funded,
so
the
council
would
have
the
right
to
as
you
do
currently
review
and
approve
our
our
operating
budget
every
year.
B
O
Correct
it
says
under
section
11
532
in
the
budget
annual
budget
is
that
the
annual
budget
will
include
a
projection
of
revenues
from
the
special
assessment,
which
is
the
one
million
dollar
amount
that
has
already
been
approved
by
the
city
council
and
a
projection
of
expenditure
for
projects,
services
and
activities
of
the
seabed
board.
And
it
says
the
annual
budget
shall
be
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
city
council
or,
if
not
approved,
shall
be
returned
to
the
seabed
board
for
revision
and
resubmission
until
the
city
council
shall
approve
the
annual
budget.
B
Proof
stays
got
it.
Yes,
sir.
All
right.
Thank
you.
If
I
can
move
on
to
the
letter
that
mr
hunt
sent
out
this
afternoon,
I
think
addresses
some
concerns.
I
know
I
personally
had
and
I
would
like,
if
you
would
please
follow
up
on
that.
K
Sir,
thank
you
councilman
ledford,
our
truly
when
I
reported
to
the
council.
Previously,
the
calendar
has
kept
us
from
getting
and
coveted
has
kept
us
from
getting
face
to
face
with
these
non-profits
so
with
their
board
and
their
vestory
and
elders
and,
however
they're
configured
and
with
our
finance
committee
and
our
executive
committee
and
our
board,
we
have
not
been
able
to
get
together,
but
recently
the
finance
committee
has
agreed
that
they
would
accept
the
last
proposal
from
those
non-profits
so
and
in
the
exchange
that
has
started.
K
I
suppose,
back
from
when
the
original
assessments
went
out,
the
dialogue
began
and
the
in
the
ordinance
allows
that
the
alliance
board
work
with
each
of
the
nonprofits
annually
and
we
have
been
doing
that
since
inception,
and
so
recently
our
finance
committee
has
agreed
to
accept
the
nonprofit's
last
proposal
and
I
think
any
time
that
one
party
accepts
the
other's
last
proposal.
You
you
should
have
a
deal.
K
We
have
not
heard
back
from
them
to
my
knowledge
that
that
is
accepted,
but
I
can't
imagine
why
they
wouldn't
just
thank
us
for
accepting
their
last
proposal,
and
so
I
intend
to
have
that
voted
on
in
officially
in
finance,
then
to
exact
and
then
to
our
board
meeting.
K
A
A
Or
comments
not
moving
on
councilman
mitchell,
I
wasn't
present
last
week
during
agenda
session.
Did
you
cover
the
items
under
public
works
and
transportation
in
committee?
Yes,.
A
All
right
very
well,
I'm
going
to
move
the
departmental
report
to
the
end
of
future
considerations
and
madam
clerk,
if
you
would
make
that
note,
I
really
think
that's
where
this
should
fall
in
our
agenda,
so
that
we
can,
as
a
council,
continue
to
work
through
these
items.
So
council
at
this
time,
if
you
would
pull
up
your
purchases
for
the
evening
and
look
those
over
and
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns.
A
P
Thank
you,
mr
chair
yeah.
I
want
to
go
to
6a
on
next
week's
agenda.
The
short-term
vacation
rental
ordinance
phil.
Were
you
going
to
send
us
out
a
red
line
to
show
the
changes
in
in
council
person,
rod's
version.
O
Yes,
sir,
have
done
it,
you
sent
it
yes,
sir.
I
I
made
sure
I
sent
it
again
twice
this
afternoon
to
your
account
right
before
the
meeting
started
again.
P
The
meeting
today
well,
that's
I
was
kind
of
wondering
I
mean
it's.
It
got
on
next
week's
agenda
and
we
haven't
even
had
a
discussion
or
I
guess
mr
chair,
I
I
know
that
usually
our
process
would
go.
I
know
there's
ways
around
this,
but
usually
our
process
would
go.
P
This
piece
of
legislation
would
go
into
committee
and
I
was
wondering
of
course
you
weren't
here
last
week,
but
what
what
I
I'm
looking
for
a
discussion,
I
I
I
think
I
was
quoted
last
week
saying
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
discussion,
I'm
just
wondering
when
the
discussion
is
going
to
take
place
before
it
comes
before
us
to
vote.
A
So
our
our
process
is
when
a
council
person
has
legislation
that
it
that
it
should
come
before
or
come
through
a
committee
hearing
or
meeting
first
or
two
council
persons
can
two
council
persons
can
put
it
on
the
agenda
and
after
I
saw
the
agenda
and-
and
since
I
wasn't
present
last
week,
I
assumed
that
councilwoman,
conrad
and
councilwoman
burrs
had
placed
it
on
the
agenda.
Personally,
I
would
like
to
see
it
brought
through
committee.
I
myself
have
questions
about
it.
A
I
was
I
worked
with
the
state
very
diligently
on
this
piece
of
legislation
and-
and
I
think,
if
we
want
to
start
bringing
the
state
down
on
us
to
the
point
that
we
don't
get
to
regulate
our
short-term
vacation
rentals
as
we
do
now,
and
many
of
you
don't
have
them
in
your
district.
A
I
I
think
if
we
want
to
get
the
state
involved,
the
best
way
to
do
that
is
to
start
banning
some
of
these
short-term
vacation
rentals.
So
I
I
myself
have
a
lot
of
some
real
concerns
about
it.
I
would
ask
councilman
oglesby,
sir,
if
you
could
have
this
in
committee,.
M
Yes,
yes,
mr
chair,
I'd,
be
happy
to
I'll
get.
Is
there
any
specific
because
we're
on
this
subject
now?
How
soon
would
you
like
to
see
it
on
committee?
I
can
do
it
as
early
as
next
week
if
the
council.
A
So
pleases,
if,
if
you
can
line
it
up
the
I,
I
think
we
probably
need
to
get
some
staff
involved,
there's
probably
questions
about
density
of
maps
where
we
have
non-owner
occupied
short-term
vacation
rentals
presently
in
the
city.
If,
if
staff
could,
I
think
present
that
to
us
next
week
would
be
would
be
an
order.
M
A
Okay,
councilman
mitchell.
Anything
further
before
I
go
on
look
down
for
me
all
right,
councilwoman
coonrod,.
I
Thank
you
chair,
because
we
mitchell
and
I
been
going
back
and
forth
with
donna
on
some
emails,
so
I
was
gonna
bring
up
that
if
we
could
remove
it
off
the
here
at
our
six
o'clock
meeting
for
next
week
to
put
it
on
the
following
week
after
we've
had
discussion
and
see
you
know
any
additional
questions,
that's
why
I
asked
if
we
had-
and
but
you
weren't
here
at
that
time,
so
we
can
kind
of
figure
it
out
the
state-
that's
just
another
excuse,
but
what
we
always
use
it
for
whenever
we
feel
like
well,
we
don't
want
to
go
a
particular
way
and
I'm
cool
with
that
too.
I
D
Yeah,
mr
chair,
I
think,
there's
some
confusion
here.
I
told
councilwoman
coonrod
that
I
was
supportive
of
going
forward
with
this.
I
was
surprised
to
find
myself
as
a
co-chair,
as
were
some
of
my
colleagues
and
councilwoman
coonwright.
I
started
to
tell
you
earlier.
I
apologize
for
forwarding
all
kinds
of
things
to
you,
but
I
started
getting
all
these
questions
about
this
thing
and
I
wasn't
sure
why,
until
I
saw
myself
listed
as
a
as
a
co-chair
co-sponsor,
a
co-sponsor
yeah,
and
so
I
think
it's
just
a
big
confusion.
D
A
Our
normal
process
would
be
to
bring
it
through
committee
and
then
after
committee,
it
would
be
be
put
on
the
two-week
agenda
and.
D
D
A
I
Yeah,
I
have
no
problem
with
that
when
you
said
it
last
week,
I
knew
what
you
meant.
Yes,.
D
A
Okay,
madam
clerk,
would
you
take
councilwoman
burrs
off
as
a
sponsor
and
we
will
have
it
in
committee
next
week
by
councilman,
chaired
by
councilman
oglesby.
A
Okay,
any
other
any
other
questions
or
concerns
about
next
week's
agenda.
Councilwoman
burns
is
out
of
new
hampshire.
I
Yes,
that's
a
new
hand
with
the,
because
I
had
time
to
go.
Look
at
the.
I
The
purchasing
and
I
have
a
question
that
we
we
brought
up
russell
and
I
brought
up
last
year
about
the
janitorial
services
and
not
particularly
for
the
fire
department,
janitorial
service,
but
the
cleaning
of
our
buildings,
and
you
know
across
the
street
the
different
ones,
and
we
were
told
then
that
they
wanted
to
bid
that
service
out,
because
we
didn't
have
enough
staff
to
do
the
work
that
was
needed
to
be
done
and
russell
brought
up.
I
Well,
hey,
let's
reclassify
what
the
role
of
the
job
is
and
we
were
supposed
to
be
yeah
and
back
to
when
we
never
did
get
back
to
that.
That
particular
subject
well.
They've
now
bid
it
contracted
bidded
that
service
out
that's
in
the
process
of
being
bidded
on
now,
and
I
just
want
to
know
how
is
that
possible
when
we
asked
specifically
as
a
council
for
something
to
be
done,
and
it
wasn't
done
and
then
you
just
still
want
to
outsource
it
out.
I
A
E
I
did
I
did
yes,
sir
councilwoman
we
have
several
different
departments,
have
their
own
janitorial
service
contracts,
yfd,
police,
fire,
etc.
So
the
one
that
y'all
were
asking
us
to
to
not
do
a
contract
out
for
was
for
the
wellness
center,
because
that
would
have
been
a
new
contract
and
we
were
we
were
going
to
be
doing.
E
You
would
ask
us
to
do
some
additional
employment
for
and
change
the
description
of
the
employment
for
the
folks
who
are
cleaning
the
downtown
offices,
the
downtown
campus
offices.
So
I
know
that
sounds
like
a
I'm
parsing
words,
but
I'm
I'm
I'm
not
trying
to
it's
just
that
fire
has
always
had
their
janitorial
service
contracted
out.
So
it's
not
that
we
are
doing
anything
different
than
we
did
before.
I
Right,
I
know
they've
always
been
contracted
out
like
I
want
to
know
why
we
haven't
received
the
information
about
the
outsourcing
that
you
all
have
just
bidded
for
the
cleaning
of
the
downtown
offices,
because
there's
several
companies
that
have
bidded
on
it
and
we
specifically
ask
that
it
not
be
outsourced.
Okay,.
A
I
E
It
may
be
part
of
that
I
mean
we
we
have
second
sets
and,
and
first
sets
are,
are
just
a
general
part,
thankfully,
of
what
we
do
now,
thanks
to
all
of
y'all's
hard
work
on
on
helping
us
get
to
that
point.
So
it's
we
don't
have
to
we're
not
just
doing
second
sets
and
first
sets
anymore,
so
it's
just
a
replenishment
of
the
whole
package.
Now,
okay,
great
thankfully,
thanks
okay,.
A
All
right,
let's
go
back.
We
were
on
next
week's
agenda.
I
don't
think
I
saw
any
other
hands.
There's.
F
I'd
like
to
hear
about
it
more
at
one
at
the
next
week
meeting
about
the
what
this
customer
brought
up
about
the
custodians.
A
Okay,
what
that'd
be
in
our
october
strategic
planning.
H
A
That
is
that
that's
a
fifth
I
mean
that's
a
fifth
tuesday.
Is
that
what
that,
what
we're
doing.
P
A
Okay,
let
me
get
back
into
my
agenda.
Okay,
future
considerations.
A
A
I
Thank
you,
hey
blight.
I
see
we're
renewing
the
contract
for
bike
chattanooga
operations,
so
is
that,
like
dealing
with
the
bike
lanes,
bike
racks
and
that
kind
of
thing,
or
what
exactly
is
it.
A
You'll
have
to
unmute
your
mic,
mr
bailey.
S
I'm
sorry
and
I'm
so
dark
on
this
camera.
You
can't
you
can't
make
out
my
you
can't
read
my
world,
but
yes
councilwoman.
That
is
not,
for
that
is
our
that's!
Our
no
cost
to
the
city
operator
for
our
public
bike
share
system
shift
transit
has
been
operating.
S
Now
for
three
years-
and
this
is
for
a
renewal
to
keep
them
operating
and
again,
it
doesn't
cost
the
city
any
anything
and
they've
done
a
great
job.
S
We
we
we
do.
We
have
tried
to
expand
that
system
and
I
know
you've
asked
that
question
before
councilwoman
because
they
operate
our
system.
S
You
know
there
are
capital
costs
to
the
expansion
that
need
to
be
offset
by
operating
costs,
but
we've
always
been
favorable
to
putting
bikeshare
systems
farther
out
so
they're,
more
accessible
to
neighborhoods
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
with
you
about
where,
where
you
might
have
an
interest
in
putting
them-
and
we
can
see
with
our
operator
if
there's
a
possibility
that
we
could
expand.
S
Yes,
sir,
and
I'm
glad
to
I
know,
y'all
are
running
late
and
I
will
get
straight
to
it.
Kevin
comstock
is
our
director
of
smart
cities.
I
can
see
he's
been
loaded
onto
the
zoom,
now
we're
doing
a
couple
of
partnerships
with
utc
and
we've
invited
them
to
give
a
presentation
on
the
work
that
they're
doing
so
without
further
ado
I'll
turn
it
over
to
kevin,
who
has
mina
professor
sartipi
with
him
and
they're,
going
to
provide
the
department
of
report
today.
All.
T
T
Sir
we've,
for
three
years
now,
we've
been
have
established
the
smart
cities
division
within
this
department
of
transportation,
and
during
that
time
we've
been.
We've
had
the
opportunity
to
build
a
very
unique
relationship
with
the
school
university
of
tennessee
at
chattanooga,
where
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
good
work,
primarily
from
safety
perspective,
understanding
how
pedestrians
move
in
the
corridor.
T
But
this
work
is
continuing
to
grow
and
manifest
out
from
that,
and
I'm
sure
you
guys
have
seen
some
of
the
news
reports
on
the
work
that
the
school
is
doing
and
we
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
of
projects
that
are
coming
up
that
we're
getting
ready
to
engage
the
school
on
for
this
coming
fiscal
year.
So
I'd
like
to
introduce
meena
sartipi,
the
director
of
the
center
for
urban
informatics
in
progress
at
utc,
if
she
could
she's
ready,
I'm
good.
Yes,.
R
Yes
well
good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
minas
rtp
and
we
are
honored
and
excited
to
be
here.
We
really
appreciate
city
council's
time
today,
and
I
have
two
of
my
members
here
from
utc
that
they're
going
to
be
presenting
two
of
our
projects
and
as
kevin
mentioned,
these
are.
These
are
projects
that
are.
We
are
working
very
closely
with
the
city
on
these.
R
Briefly,
before
talking
about
the
projects,
I
would
like
just
to
mention
that
cuip
is
a
research
center
at
utc,
but
I
want
to
mention
that
we
do
not
do
research
for
the
sake
of
research.
We
really
focus
on
questions
and
challenges
that
can
directly
or
indirectly
impact
the
citizens
of
chattanooga.
All
of
us,
and
we
focus
on
data-driven
approaches
which
allow
us
to
look
at
the
data.
Understand
really
what
is
going
on
and
learn
that
to
see
what
are
the
factors
that
can
create
a
higher
quality
of
life
and
then
we're
looking
to
see.
R
How
can
we
implement
those
for
everyone
without
any
more
delay?
I
would
like
to
ask
austin
harris
to
present
the
project
that
we
are
working
on
on
mlk,
smart
corridor
and
austin
is
a
testbed
manager
for
the
cyp
at
utc.
Q
You
good
afternoon,
everyone
thank
you
all
for
having
us
today
and
we're
running
a
little
bit
long,
so
I
want
to
jump
right
into
it.
I'm
going
to
present
one
of
the
projects
in
jeremy
roland
will
come
after
he
will
present
a
second
one.
Q
Excuse
me,
I'm
going
to
be
speaking
about
our
pedestrian
analysis,
analysis
project.
Sorry,
there
we
go
so
I'm
going
to
jump
right
in
to
the
motivation
you
go
over
a
year.
The
national
highway
traffic
and
safety
administration
has
reported
higher
pedestrian
injuries
and
fatalities.
Q
Pedestrian
injury
and
fatalities,
as
well
as
pedal
cyclists.
These
are
accidents
that
are
crashed
in
accidents
that
include
motorized
vehicles,
hamilton
count,
hamilton
county
ranks
just
below
shelby
and
davison,
county
and
tennessee.
Q
To
do
that,
we
need
to
answer
some
some
questions
and
the
first
one
is:
how
do
we
collect
the
actual
data
that
will
allow
us
to
assess
and
evaluate
the
intersections
and
crosswalks?
It
will
allow
us
to
improve
the
understanding
of
pedestrian
environments.
You
know
how
are
pedestrians
utilizing
given
crosswalk?
What
are
their
wait
times?
How
are
they
interacting
with
the
current
infrastructure?
Q
That's
out
there,
for
example,
the
push
buttons
that
will
also
and
also
allow
us
to
identify
high-risk,
crawl
swaps
and
known
crossings
at
the
center
for
urban
information
progress
and
on
the
mlk
smart
corridor
or
the
mlk
testbed.
We
have
worked
on
some
of
the
pedestrian
safety
analysis.
Previously
we
have
done
that
through
computer
vision.
Q
We
have
cameras
out
on
the
corridor.
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
quick
video
here,
I'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
what's
going
on.
Hopefully
some
of
you
have
seen
this
intersection.
This
is
right
at
mlp
in
georgia,
and
this
is
the
type
of
data
that
we
collect.
Currently,
we
collect
the
movement,
we
collect
the
the
path
and
then
we
we
do
prediction
on
the
trajectory
and
the
reason
we
do
that
is
we.
Q
However,
that
we
there
is
a
challenge,
getting
accurate
data
for
numerous
instances,
and
that's
because
of
the
the
three-dimensional
aspect
that
we
cannot
get
from
a
2d
video,
so
the
the
system
that
we're
proposing
in
this
project
utilizes
lidar
sensing.
This
is
an
example
video
that
I'm
going
to
show
on
the
left
hand.
Side
is
a
very
high
up
view
of
a
lidar
data
stream,
and
the
lines
you
see
are
people
walking
around.
Q
The
right
side
is
an
example
heat
map,
but
this
is
the
type
of
granular
data
that
we'll
get
from
a
lidar
and
we'll
be
able
to
basically
evaluate
the
costs
of
the
system
versus
cameras
and
the
performance.
Q
Q
So
a
quick
summary
of
the
project
is
to
develop
a
system
that
allows
us
to
collect
and
analyze
pedestrian
data,
as
well
as
via
vehicular
and
bicyclist
data
we're
going
to
analyze
it
look
for
near.
Miss
instance.
Looks
at
activity,
collect
signal
information
for
like
pedestrian
crosswalk
signals
evaluate
if
people
are
using
them
the
way
they
should
be,
are
they
crossing
at
the
right
times
and
then
generate
reports
where
we
can
share
that
with
cdot,
where
we
can
take
action
to
improve
the
safety
of
those
intersections
and
crosswalks?
Q
That
concludes
my
presentation
of,
I
think,
is
jeremy
in
here
I'll
go
ahead.
Can.
U
U
All
right
so
next
slide
austin
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
start
right
off
the
bat.
U
U
Obviously,
as
each
year
goes
by
the
roadways,
get
more
dangerous
and
in
hamilton
county
alone,
just
in
2019
there
were
56
reported
crashes
and
36
of
those
crashes
were
in
chattanooga,
which
is
just
outright
unacceptable.
Something
needs
to
be
done
about
that.
To
make
this
place
safer.
In
fact,
hamilton
county
in
2019
was
ranked
highest
for
death
toll
in
the
12-county
southeast
region
in
tennessee
last
year,
so
things
that
come
to
mind
are
how
can
we
remedy
this
issue
and
what
can
be
done
about
it
next
slide?
U
As
you
can
see,
crashes
start
around
six
or
seven
o'clock
when
people
are
going
to
work
and
they
increase
significantly
in
the
later
hours
of
the
day
when
people
are
leaving
work
going
home,
and
you
can
even
see
on
the
blue
line
on
fridays.
Those
crashes
are
occurring
slightly
earlier
in
the
day
because
it's
friday,
people
want
to
go
home
early.
U
So
what
this
really
tells
us
is.
Yes,
there
are
trends
and
patterns
in
these
crashes
that
we
can
see
and
from
that
we
are
able
to
learn
the
causes
or,
at
the
very
least,
the
significantly
important
factors
at
play
during
these
crashes
next
slide,
and
from
that
we
have
created
a
predictive
model
that
can
tell
us
where
these
accidents
are
most
likely
to
happen.
So,
as
you
can
see,
the
shaded
or
the
colored
hexagons
on
the
screen
here
are
where
our
model
is
saying.
U
Accidents
are
most
likely
to
occur
on
january,
23,
2020
and
all
of
these
black
shapes
you
see
that
you're
seeing
are
those
accidents,
so
we
can
confidently
say
that
our
predictive
algorithm
can
see
where
these
crashes
are
taking
place
on
a
given
day,
and
just
as
a
side
note,
this
prediction
for
january
23rd
was
performed
on
january
22nd.
U
So
the
idea
is
to
provide
this
as
a
live
service
model
for
local
law
enforcement
and
emergency
services
next
slide,
and
the
reason
we
want
to
provide
this
model
to
first
responders
is
because
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
that
these
first
responders
sort
of
face
when
they
are
responding
to
these
crashes,
such
as
well,
it's
not
something
they
particularly
face,
but
there's
often
issues
with
recording
where
these
crashes
are
happening,
which
can
make
it
difficult
to
actually
create
this
model,
which
is
something
we
had
to
deal
with.
U
So
we
went
through
the
data,
got
rid
of
any
sort
of
outlying
crashes
to
actually
make
this
model
and
what
it
can
really
provide.
These
first
responders
is
shorter
response
times.
They
can
get
to
these
crashes
sooner
help
these
people
sooner
and
ideally
reduce
the
amount
of
damage
that
is
done
to
an
individual,
so
obviously
the
longer
it
takes
for
an
emergency
responder
to
respond
to
a
crash.
U
You
know
it's
going
to
increase
the
amount
of
damage
that
is
done
in
terms
of
mortality
and
it
was
found.
The
first
five
minutes
are
the
most
crucial,
so
the
shorter
we
can
get
the
response
times
for
these
emergency
responders
the
better,
and
it
was
also
found
that,
as
one
would
expect
the
longer
these
response
times,
the
longer
that
these
people
who
are
involved
in
these
crashes
will
spend
recovering,
which
can
lead
to
extended
hospital
stays,
more
complex
treatment
being
necessary
increase
hospital
bills.
U
Obviously
no
one
likes
to
overpay
on
anything
next
slide
and
taking
this
one
step
further,
apart
from
just
crash
prediction,
we
could
do
infrastructural
adjustments.
So,
as
you
can
see,
there
was
a
very
high
concentration
of
crashes
at
this
particular
section
of
chattanooga,
so
we
looked
into
it
and
saw
that
people
were
essentially
for
whatever
reason.
Maybe
they
just
weren't
paying
attention
enough
and
they
were
driving
a
little
too
close
to
the
sideway
and
they
were
hitting
this
pole,
as
you
can
see
on
the
top
of
this
on
the
top
picture
here.
U
So,
obviously
that's
a
pretty
good
thing
next
slide
in
short
crash
prediction:
to
assist
law
enforcement
and
emergency
services
to
better
allocate
their
resources
for
better
and
more
efficient
distribution
of
those
resources.
To
ideally
reduce
the
amount
of
time
it
would
take
them
to
get
to
the
locations
of
these
crashes
and
potentially
even
be
at
the
site
of
these
crashes.
U
So
people
will
just
instinctually
drive
slower
because,
as
I'm
sure
we
all
know,
even
just
seeing
a
police
officer
will
make
you
drive
slower,
even
if
you're
driving
perfectly
safely
and
taking,
as
I
mentioned
again,
just
one
step
further.
The
prescriptive
analysis,
where
we
find
these
isolated
parts
of
the
city,
where
some
sort
of
infrastructural
adjustment
could
be
made
to
make
these
roadways
safer
for
drivers
and
pedestrians
alike,
and
that's
it
for
me.
Thank.
U
S
Yes,
sir,
that's
that
concludes
our
presentation
that
I
will
say
in
closing.
We've
done
quite
a
bit
of
work
with
dr
sarkici
for
many
years
and
our
smart
city,
our
smartphone
division,
is,
I'm
always
impressed
with
the
level
of
the
level
of
analysis
that
they
can
provide.
I
met
austin
a
year
or
so
ago,
at
a
conference
in
chattanooga
and
the
work
that
they
do
at
utc
and
for
the
city
is
invaluable.
S
A
T
Yes,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
we're
working
with
the
open,
open
data
and
pro
performance
measurements
group
right
now,
okay,
to
extract
a
good
bit
of
that
data
from
the
crash
records
and
looking
at
each
individual
street.
As
we
start
to
look
at
this,
we
all
know
that
every
friday
on
on
24
we're
going
to
have
some
sort
of
crash,
that's
going
to
impact
traffic,
we
could
we
can
almost
put
that
in
the
bank,
but
on
on
the
surface
streets,
the
ones
that
chattanooga
actually
has
jurisdiction
over
and
control.
T
A
Okay,
great
life
I'd
be
interested
in
seeing
the
results
of
the
project
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Bye.
S
Thank
you,
council,
and
thank
you
nina
and
austin,
and
jeremy
and
kevin.
A
Miss
councilwoman
conrad,
I
see
your
hand,
is
that
a
new
hand
or
no
okay
hold
on
okay,
all
right,
miss
liddy,
you
can
excuse
our
guests
and
is
there
any
any
other
business
that
needs
to
come
before
the
council
during
this
agenda
session
before
we
move
into
legislative
committee,
if
not
vice
chair
the
chair
is
yours,
sir,
and
take
us
to
legislative
committee.
J
All
right,
any
opposed
same
nine
minutes
will
stand
as
recorded
today.
We've
got
a
discussion
on
the
tornado,
rebuilding
relief
legislation
that
councilman
ledford
has
been
working
on
so
this
time
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
him
to
let
him
give
just
kind
of
a
brief
introduction
and
then
allow
for
questions
if
there
are
any
at
this
time,
councilman
lanford.
B
Thank
you
vice
chairman,
I
appreciate
it
very
much.
2020
has
been
a
very
challenging
year
for
all
of
us
and,
of
course,
the
east
brainerd
area
areas
of
district
6
areas
of
district
9
were
touched
by
and
ravaged
by
tornadoes,
leaving
a
devastating
wake
of
destruction
behind
so
this
resolution
before
we
start
phil.
I
talked
to
you
about
this
earlier
today
and
on
advice
of
a
very
good
friend
of
mine,
who
I
listened
to
very
regularly,
and
a
very,
very
intelligent.
B
Lady
pointed
out
to
me
that
I
would
like
to
suggest
before
we
read
through
this,
that
we
remove
the
references
to
east
brainerd,
because
the
tornado
didn't
care
one
bit
about
which
political
district
it
sat
down
in,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
any
area
that
was
touched
by
the
high
winds
and
destruction
of
the
tornado
is
encompassed
into
this
resolution.
B
So
that
means
any
area
so
phil,
if
you
would,
and
if,
when
you're
reading
through
this
council,
if
you'll
see
and
just
imagine
the
words
in
east
brainerd
area
removed
to
just
reference,
the
tornado
damaged
area.
I
think
that
will
be
something
that
I
want
to
wrap.
B
My
arms
around
for
the
entire
city,
so
without
the
further
ado,
this
is
basically
just
a
resolution
enacting
legislation,
that's
already
on
the
books
from
a
2017
ordinance,
one
three,
two:
five
one
that
basically
provides
a
grandfather
clause
for
those
rebuilding
back
their
structures
that
were
damaged
by
the
tornado
into
being
able
to
build
back
the
way
they
were
without
any
additions
to
impervious
areas
such
as
parking
lots
to
build
back
under
the
same
ordinance
that
they
were
originally
built,
and
this
also
waves,
the
building
fees
to
help
mitigate
some
of
the
financial
loss
and
and
stress
that
has
been
placed
on
a
lot
of
these
organizations.
B
Nonprofits
religious
institutions-
and
I
wanted
to
add
in
there
too
that
folks
that
were
uninsured.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
try
to
wrap
our
arms
around
them
and
help
them.
In
addition,
so
that's
basically
what
this
is
doing
is
allowing
them
to
rebuild
back
to
be
due
to
no
fault
of
their
own.
This
tornado
is
forcing
them
to
do
this.
O
Only
thing
to
add,
I
think,
on
my
end
of
it
here
is
I
I
have
no
problem
with
staying
anywhere
in
the
city
that
is
affected
by
the
issues
the
tornado
that
occurred.
I
think
that's
a
simple
way
of
handling
it.
You
do
need
some
kind
of
list
that
would
actually
showing
which
properties
would
be
going
to
just
to
make
sure
what
the
cost
of
this
would
be
on
your
budget.
O
B
So
phil,
I
appreciate
you
bringing
that
up.
We
talked
about
that
before.
So.
What
I
had
experienced
was,
I
think
we
can
use,
is
the
incredible
work
that
mr
moreland
used
in
mapping
their
tornado
area.
I
think
that
if
we
can
cross-reference
that
to
applicants
who
come
for
the
relief,
I
think
it's
very
simple
to
identify
them
phil
using
that
map.
Mr
moreland
had
so
well
executed
and
constructed.
B
Fantastic
and
one
other
item-
and
I
apologize
for
those
of
you
with
your
hands
up-
I'm
just
trying
to
cover
some
basis
here,
as
I've
tried
to
cover
as
much
as
I
can.
The
second
part
of
that
is
with
our
uninsured
homeowners
or
property
owners.
I
think
a
simple
affidavit
sheet
signing
that
is
is
going
to
have
to
suffice
from
ldo's
perspective
and
I
think
that
could
be
created
through
the
city
attorney's
office
rather
quickly.
Sure,
okay,
thank
you
and
I
do
see
some
hands
chairman.
You
want
me
to
kind
of
field.
A
Thank
you
vice
chair,
councilman
lanford.
One
of
the
things
I
had
brought
up
when
we
kind
of
began
talking
about
this
earlier,
was
making
sure
that
any
fee
waiver
or
the
storm
water
grandfather
in
the
storm
water
requirements
would
be
for
those
buildings
and
developments
that
were
basically
rebuilding
within
the
same
footprint
that
existed
prior
to
the
tornado.
B
So
my
response
to
that
would
be
that's
pretty
rigid
requirement
because
you're
not
allowing
them
any
fluctuation
to
make
slight
adjustments
in
their
building.
I
think
what
we
have
covered.
What
I
think
is
important
to
note
is
that
they
do
not
increase
parking
lot
size
or
any
impervious
area.
I
think,
as
long
as
we
we
cover
that.
B
Portion
of
of
their
building
back,
I
would
hate
to
restrict
them
from
making
needed
improvements
or
a
slight
adjustment
to
their
footprint.
I
mean
they
may
not
build
back
exactly
they
may
build
slightly
bigger.
The.
I
think
the
important
thing
to
remind
you
when
we
talk
about
storm
water
is
that
they
do
not
increase
the
impervious
size
of
the
area
that
they
had
before,
and
if
they
do
that,
then
all
the
new
regulations
kick
in.
A
A
Not
increasing
not
increasing
impervious
area,
I
mean
I
could
go.
I
could
go
with
that
language
as
opposed
to
footprint.
Are
we
covered
there
phil
again?
I
guess
it
would
be
hard
to
not
create
more
impervious
area
and
not
stay
within
the
footprint
that
they
had
or
I
I
don't
know,
maybe
they
decrease
the.
M
A
Sure
but
but
but
I
think
maybe
wording
along
the
lines
of
not
increasing
impervious
surface
would
be
suffice.
Phil.
O
Are
we
covered
on
that?
We
we
currently
have
in
the
ordinance
on
here
that
to
be
eligible,
the
they
will
redevelop
under
the
regulations
that
existed
as
of
2014,
provided
that
the
properties
do
not
increase
the
amount
of
impervious
areas
that
existed
on
site
as
of
april
12
2020.
So
there
has
to
be
the
same
site
that
was
existing
before
the
tornado.
Damage
occurred.
Now
the
danger
about
increasing
the
the
structure,
though,
if
the
structure
gets
bigger,
the
roof
is
a
larger
impervious
area.
So
you
have
to
be
careful
about
that.
O
O
Yeah
it's
on
the
very
last
sentence:
okay,
okay,.
P
I'm
sure
I'm
not
muted,
okay,
great.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I'm
going
to
give
a
just
a
comment
when
this
was
explained
to
us
originally
is
to
help
non-profits,
religious
and
educational
institutions.
P
P
That
says,
are
we
rewarding
people
that
probably
should
have
done
something
differently
when
it
talked
when
you're
talking
about
you're
not
insured,
but
I
also
know
that
people
have
socioeconomic
conditions
right
now,
so
I'll
leave
it
alone
and
move
on
the
the
the
other
thing
is,
though,
is
back
when
I
was
watching
the
feds
do
all
their
money
handing
out
there
was
really
some
problems
with
enforcement
to
make
sure
that
people
aren't
being
corrupt
with
the
system
and
did
I
just
hear
you
say
that
it'll
just
be
a
waiver
that
somebody
signs
to
lbo
or
what?
P
B
So
if
I
may
chairman
answer
that
one
of
the
things
I've
learned,
I
think
in
this
job
so
far,
is
that
I'm
gonna
have
to
let
some
people
do
their
jobs.
So
as
legislator.
B
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
idea
and
we're
putting
forth
a
really
good
will
intent
to
help
folks
who
are
suffering
or
organizations
that
will
make
a
difference
when
it
comes
to
weeding
out
the
the
bad
guys
and
good
guys
and
good
girls
and
bad
girls
whatever.
I
think
we
really
need
to
lean
on
our
ldo
to
make
that
determination.
They
are,
are
our
boots
on
the
ground.
They
are
the
enforcement
side
of
government,
and
I
think
that
that
we
really
need
to
lean
on
them.
B
At
this
time-
and
I
have
talked
to
ldo
and
ldo
has
told
me-
we
are
very
supportive
and
whatever
you
want
to
do
as
a
council,
and
we
will
figure
it
out
and
I'd.
So
I
would
say
to
that.
I
would
really
really
lean
on
them
for
their
enforcement
capabilities
to
make
sure
that
the
rules
are
being
followed
and
that
they're
legitimate
cases.
P
All
right,
mr
I'll
just
follow
one
more
question,
then
I'll
I'll,
let
go
councilman
gilbert,
always
says:
where's
the
teeth
and
so
giving
them
the
responsibility
to
enforce
it,
where's
the
teeth
and
that
enforcement.
What
what
are
the
penalties?
Are
there
anything
we're
writing
into
this?
That
says
anything
more
than
we're.
Gonna
cite
you,
and
maybe
the
judge
will
find
you
fifty
dollars
for
cheating
the
city.
B
I
do
not
know
again,
I
think
that
would
be
something
I
mean
if
ldo
wants
to
withhold
a
co,
that
seems
to
be
the
only
teeth
we
have
outside
of
a
50
fine,
as
we
always
are
alluding
to,
but
I
think
that
when
the
cases
come
to
ldo
they're
going
to
be
able
to
determine
whether
they
are
eligible
rather
quickly,
remember
we're
talking
about
rebuilding
from
scratch,
and
I
think
that
is
a
precursor
and
a
foundation.
That's
very
strong
and
able
to
make
determination.
P
P
Councilman
that
I
think
this
shows
a
a
good
heart
on
your
part,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
efforts.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
Thank
you,
chair,
leopard,
don't
know
if
you
have
a
sponsor
co-sponsor.
B
J
Seeing
none
we're
going
to
adjourn
into
attorney.
Clients,
see
everybody
back
in
just
a
moment.
