Description
City Council Agenda Session and one committee: Public Works and Transportation.
A
Presented
this
budget
to
you,
we
are
projecting
an
eight
point:
four
million
dollar
reduction
in
revenues
compared
to
last
year's
budget.
Our
usual
sources
of
funding,
especially
local
option
sales
taxes,
have
been
deeply
impaired
by
the
coronavirus
crisis.
Despite
the
challenges,
this
budget
does
not
call
for
a
property.
Tax
increase
does
not
call
for
layoffs
or
salary
or
service
cuts.
A
When
we
began
building
this
year's
budget
in
a
time
of
crisis
from
a
global
pandemic
economic
downturn,
a
community
still
reeling
from
a
tornado
strike,
we
built
the
budget
with
those
core
values
at
the
center
that
there
would
be
no
tax
increase,
no
city,
employee
layoffs.
We
would
maintain
crucial
services
for
Chattanooga
pnes.
We
would
maintain
capital
projects
that
will
spur
economic
development
and
maintain
safety
net
programs
for
our
residents.
This
is
a
responsible
budget.
We
are
not
rating
our
reserve
fund
to
pay
for
this
budget
shortfall.
This
is
a
resilient
budget.
A
A
This
is
a
budget
like
no
other
and
not
one
that
we
expected
to
deliver
to
you
this
year.
Our
early
projections
had
us
in
a
very
comfortable
position.
This
year
we
were
looking
at
three
percent
or
more
growth
in
our
budget
and
now
we're
facing
an
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
forward
by
our
departments
and
agencies
and
community
members
across
the
city.
A
We
were
excited
about
sharing
these
new
ways
of
doing
things:
new
programs
with
you
for
your
review.
We
were
looking
at
new
ways
to
do
compensation
for
our
employees,
expanded
vendor
outreach
to
increase
minority
contracting
on
city
projects,
new
classes
for
police
and
fire,
expanding
early
learning
opportunities
and
support
for
families,
increasing
desperately
needed,
homeless,
support,
building
a
state
park,
and
so
much
more.
A
So
we
will
go
through
some
of
our
programs
and
affordable
housing
and
economic
development.
Early
learning,
public
transit
help
for
the
homeless
and
a
360
degree
care
for
neighbors
in
nee.
Our
continuum
of
care
projects
and
you'll
be
hearing
from
various
administrators
throughout
the
rest
of
this
presentation.
Thank
you
and
first
we'll
hear
from
Donna
Williams.
C
D
Ahead,
great
Thank,
You,
chief
Sullivan
and
council
chair
Henderson,
we
really
appreciate
this.
I
will
be
as
brief
as
I
can,
because
I
have
a
lot
of
very
talented
colleagues
who
have
other
things
to
share
with
you.
What
I'm
going
to
do
and
Sherita
Allen
will
follow
me,
is
to
give
just
a
few
highlights
of
some
of
the
programs
we
do
for
affordable
housing
and
for
those
who
are
watching
and
don't
realize
this.
This
council
and
Mayor
Burke
have
been
in
support
of
increasing
the
inventory
of
we
had
that
we
have
a
quality
housing.
D
You
guys
have
supported
the
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
the
production
of
affordable
housing,
and
we
recognize
that
that
was
not
always
easy
right
to
support
what
we've
been
trying
to
do.
Affordable
housing
is
the
cornerstone
of
strong
neighborhoods
and
of
a
growing
economy
and
of
kids,
who
need
a
place
to
go
to
that.
It's
imperative
that
kids
have
quality
housing
if
they're
going
to
be
efficient
at
school.
So
we
greatly
appreciate
your
support.
D
Some
of
this
will
be
repetitive
for
you,
but
we
do
want
the
the
rest
of
the
community
to
realize
what
all
of
us
have
been
doing.
Our
home
funds,
which
is
a
federal
program,
money
that
comes
to
us
from
HUD.
We
use
those
funds
to
attract
private
development
in
order
for
them
to
single-family
housing,
that's
for
sale
and
single-family
housing.
That's
for
rent
the
home
funds
also
attract
private
development
for
the
development
of
multifamily
units,
both
Priscilla
for
Red's.
We
have
the
pilot
program
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes
to
date
under
the
Burke
Administration.
D
That
program
has
attracted
a
hundred
and
seventy
two
million
dollars
of
private
investment
and
preserved
or
produced
eleven
hundred
and
sixty
five
units
of
low
to
moderate
income
housing.
Now,
when
we
say
this
is
actually
very
low
housing,
which
is
thirty
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
up
to
eighty
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
and
we
have
pilot
developments
that
go
from
30
to
80.
D
E
And
I
just
wanted
to
go
quickly
over
some
of
our
small
business
programs,
and
some
of
these
were
born
out
of
the
request
of
council
members
roughly
three
years
ago
to
focus
more
on
small
businesses
and
less
on
larger
corporations.
So
here
are
some
of
the
programs
that
we
have
been
working
on.
These
numbers
are
just
for
this
existing
fiscal
year.
So
on
the
growing
small
business
grants,
we've
awarded
six
grants
to
small
businesses,
construction
mitigation.
E
We
have
for
those
related
to
patent
Parkway,
neighborhood
reinvestment
funds,
we're
looking
at
six
of
those
loans
which
are
also
partially
forgiven.
Through
a
grant
component.
There
were
six
of
those
innovation
grants.
We
have
two
and
then
the
koban
19
stabilization
program,
which
we
launched
as
a
result
of
small
businesses
being
impacted
by
executive
closures.
F
I
counsel,
can
you
can
you
hear
me
yeah?
We
can
hi.
Thank
you
for
letting
us
speak
for
a
few
minutes,
so
I'm
gonna
share
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
been
doing
learning
and
then,
where
we
are
planning
to
go
in
this
next
year.
So
the
framework
that
we're
using
is
really
a
three-legged
stool
between
early
development,
family
leadership
and
support
and
health,
mental
health
and
nutrition.
Next
slide.
F
So
in
family
leadership
we
talked
about
many
of
these
things
with
you
already
so
everything
from
barber
shop
books
to
the
census
work
that
y'all
just
approved.
It
were
notified
by
grant
for
the
board
that
we
got
the
other
week
and
the
thing
that's
happening
and
the
upcoming
year
is
that
we're
going
to
be
working
on
a
parent
cafe.
F
So
this
is
a
place
where
families
can
come
together
for
peer
support
to
be
connected
to
resources
and
is
really
just
a
community
space
specifically
for
families
with
young
children
really
a
place
to
make
those
social
connections
that
build
strong
families
in
early
education
and
development,
which
is
probably
what
we
think
of
most.
As
early
learning.
We
have
the
amazing
success
of
seeds
for
success
and
we've
we've
been
proud
of
that
work
and
I'll
share
some
on
the
next
slide
about
the
transition
to
an
emergency
bridge
funded
that
happened
recently.
F
We've
supported
capacity
building
in
curriculum
in
technology
and
this
year,
we're
very
excited
to
do
something
similar
to
the
parent
cafe.
So
directors
have
a
space
that
is
kind
of
a
more
traditional
directors
support
group,
but
they
have
asked
for
a
place
to
just
have
peer
support,
solve
problems
together,
brainstorm
together
and
we
will
be
providing
that
space
for
them
in
this
upcoming
year
goals.
Finally,
something
that
we're
really
proud
of
for
this
this
next
year
is
that
we
are
going
to
be
partnering
with
HR
to
think
about
how
we
can
bring
what
we
call.
F
F
So
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
on
building
the
capacity
of
child
care
providers
to
expand
seats
and
then
kovat
hit,
and
we
were
worried
that
childcare
providers
would
slows.
There
were
state
funds
that
were
coming,
but
we
know
that
those
were
gonna
take
8
to
12
weeks
to
get
to
them
and
they
don't
have
12
weeks
worth
of
reserves.
F
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Sherita
Allen,
because
we
were
able
to
use
some
of
the
framework
that
she
had
already
built
for
her
economic
development
work
to
streamline
our
process
and
build
on
what
she
had
already
done.
No
sense
in
in
reinventing
the
wheel
and
in
this
bridge
fund,
which
was
not
just
city
of
Chattanooga
but
was
also
smart
city
venture
fund
dollars
in
partnership
with
the
early
matters
coalition
and
United
Way,
we
served
50
small
business
owners.
F
260
thousand
dollars
of
grants
went
out
the
door
impacting
over
2000
children,
and
that
is
how
government
can
work
alongside
our
local
partners,
to
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
children,
families
and
businesses.
That's
all
I
have
for
you
today.
Although
I
could
talk
for
hours,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
next
person.
Thank.
G
It's
nice
to
see
you.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
that's
still
virtual,
but
it
is
nice
to
see
you
well
I
wanted
to.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today
and
always
thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
support
public
transit
and
how
important
kada
is
in
the
economic
fabric
and
the
quality
of
life
for
our
citizens.
Just
I'll
be
very
quick.
Just
a
few
updates.
As
you
aware,
Carter
began
offering
free
service
to
our
veterans
on
our
fixed
route
and
our
caravan
services
and
up
until
April
from
January
until
April
13th.
G
When
we
went
air
free
due
to
Colvin,
they
provided
19,000
trips
to
our
veterans
and
across
our
services,
which
I
think
is
great,
and
we
will
continue
to
provide
that
service.
Going
forward
march
of
nineteen,
we
deployed
three
new
electric
operated
musses
for
opticspro
network,
and
we
will
continue
on
with
our
goal
of
being
an
all-electric
fleet,
we're
finding
probably
for
about
nine,
more
vehicles
for
electric
vehicles
and
then
also
receive
funding
for
new
diesel
vehicles,
which
will
help
us
replace
almost
our
entire
fleet,
probably
and
I'd,
say
six
to
seven
years.
G
It
would
have
been
soon
I'm
pre
covered,
but
everything's
been
pushed
out
a
little
bit,
so
we're
very
excited
about
those
opportunities.
Also
just
so
you
have
an
idea
of
the
matching.
I
know
that
you're,
probably
all
very
well
aware
of
it
on
the
3.1
million
in
city
operating
funds,
matches
approximately
6.6
million
in
our
federal
and
state
funding.
G
So
that's
a
great
project
when
we
finish
with
that,
we'll
have
two
shelters
that
will
not
be
compliant
and
those
of
the
our
goal
is
to
try
to
fix
those
going
forward.
So
it's
been
a
great
partnership
with
the
city
to
be
able
to
do
that.
Next
slide,
please
more!
As
you're
all
aware,
we
are
in
the
middle
of
doing
our
final
system
redesign
with
Jarrett
Walker
and
associates
approach
from
Jared
a
couple
different
times.
The
report
is
completed.
G
The
next
step
is
that
public
input,
which
was
supposed
to
be
in
April,
but
obviously
that's
not
going
to
that,
didn't
happen
and
we're
not
sure
when
that
will
happen
going
forward
until
covetous
has
listened
up
a
little
bit,
but
we
are
working
on
that
and
you're
aware
of
all
the
different,
the
two
different
plans
that
we
have
them.
There
are
short
term
in
our
long
term,
so
I
won't
go
into
those
details.
G
I
forwarded
that
information
to
you,
but
the
important
pieces
that
we
are
looking
at
making
improvements
in
frequency
will
obviously
help
our
folks
get
to
where
they
need
to
go
a
lot
quicker
and
a
lot
sooner
coverage
area
will
stay.
The
same.
We're
also
looking
at
expanding
our
coverage
area.
We're
also
looking
at
improving
our
technology
based
on
our
technology,
our
mobility
as
a
service
which
is
similar
to
our
neighborhood
services,
which
is
our
number-5,
our
north
brain
and
service,
and
our
number
six
with
it,
which
is
our
East
painted
neighborhood
service
on
demand.
G
They
go
into
the
neighborhoods
pick
folks
up
and
either
bring
them
to
meet
one
of
the
other
routes,
opening
them
to
the
destination,
depending
on
what
they're
doing
we're
working
with
double
matt,
Mesabi
and
transit,
app
to
provide
technology
for
the
integrated
planning
of
these
trips.
So
like
an
uber
or
lyft
you'll
be
able
to
go
right
on
your
phone
book.
Your
trip
and
it
will
are
you
in
real-time
how
soon
the
bus
is
coming.
G
You
know
and
when
you
will
arrive
at
your
destination,
so
very
excited
about
that
process,
and
just
a
quick
update
on
cata
and
Kovan
we
are
currently
I'm
close
to
80
was
thinking
about
pre,
Kovac
ridership
with
us
women
in
service.
We
have
our
Saturday
service
out
Monday
through
Saturday
semi
service
has
remained
the
same,
but
on
our
weekends,
we
were
back
to
three
Kovac
numbers,
so
we're
putting
a
plan
in
place
to
look
forward
to
moving
back
to
full
service,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
July.
So
that
is
where
we're
at
I
want
to.
G
H
Right,
I'm
gonna
start
just
by
talking
a
little
bit
about
this
council's
tenure
and
some
of
the
funding
that
we
that
y'all
have
approved
to
put
towards
homelessness
in
2017.
That
was
when
we
officially
ended
veteran
homelessness.
We
were
spending
two
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollars
in
that
budget.
That
work
allowed
us
to
be
able
to
house
over
350
veterans
in
two
years
and
now
we're
the
ending
veteran
homelessness.
H
Certification
means
that
we
have
less
than
ten
almost
veterans
at
any
given
time
and
we
are
able
to
house
them
each
month
in
the
past
three
years,
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
to
really
make
progress
on
our
overall
homelessness
issue
based
off
of
our
learnings.
On
this
we
created
an
interagency
Council
of
all
the
community
stakeholders
at
work
and
homeless
homelessness.
H
We
built
an
action
plan
and
shared
that
with
you
at
the
end
of
2018,
and
we
actually,
with
your
help,
invested
into
this
plan,
a
total
of
1.3
million
dollars,
and
this
amount,
thankfully,
is
staying,
steady
and
the
FY
21
budget
with
no
reductions.
That's
an
overall
564
percent
increase
in
funding
over
those
three
years
next
slide.
H
So,
as
you
know,
and
that's
why
xx
we
created
a
homeless
services
division
going
from
one
full-time
staff
person
and
a
few
part-time
people
to
now
13
people
who
are
helping
to
fill
some
of
the
gaps
that
were
identified
in
this
plan.
We
had
street
outreach
workers
who
identify
and
assess
individuals,
and
they
reach
out
to
people
all
around
the
county
and
the
woods
under
bridges
and
connect
them
with
services.
In
the
past
six
months,
they've
identified
and
assessed
406
new
individuals
and
connected
them
to
services.
H
We
also
have
housing
navigators
that
find
housing
for
people,
and
we
found
that
this
greatly
accelerates
the
amount
of
people
were
able
to
house
I'm
real
produced
a
report
today,
as
of
today
that
we've
permanently
housed
563
homeless
individuals
in
our
community
and
279
households.
That
is
a
big
increase
from
last
year,
when
we
house
a
little
over
300
people
in
our
community.
We're
seeing
great
great
progress
in
this,
and
it's
also
translating
into
progress
and
the
homelessness
issue.
H
Overall,
we've
seen
a
17%
reduction
and
homelessness
since
November,
and
this
is
significant
because
it's
one
of
the
first
times
in
over
five
years
that
Chattanooga
seen
a
decrease
in
our
homeless
population
rather
than
an
increase.
So
these
investments
that
that
we
funded
with
your
help
are
really
making
a
difference
and
for
the
next
slide,
I'm
gonna
ask
if
we
can
bring
in
Ginetta
Langston
563
people
is
a
great
number,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
snapshot
of
what
this
looks
like
by
example
on
the
ground.
So
you
can
better
understand
how
it
works.
B
I
My
name
is
general
Langston
and
I
am
one
of
the
housing
navigators
for
the
Harmony
Services
Division
I
would
like
to
tell
you
a
story
about
one
of
my
people
who
are
just
housed.
His
name
is
todd.
Todd
has
been
homeless
for
the
past
six
years.
He
came
to
talk
program
during
the
coal
mid-nineteen
pandemic,
begging
me
to
house
him.
He
did
not
think
that
I
would
be
able
to
house
him,
because
he
has
two
evictions.
I
I
told
Todd
that
I
work
very
closely
with
a
lot
of
landlords
and
I
have
a
great
relationship
with
my
landlords,
and
then
I
was
going
to
do
the
very
best
that
I
can
to
house
him
I
reached
out
to
one
of
my
landlords
and
I
told
him
me
so
I
pleaded
class
situation
and
I
told
the
landlord
what
was
going
on
with
with
her
I
told
the
landlord
Todd
just
needs
a
second
chance.
Just
give
him
a
second
chance.
I
The
landlord
heard
my
story,
he
listened
and
he
told
me
he
encouraged
me
to
apply
helped
I'll
apply,
so
I
helped
how
to
apply
so
make
a
long
story
short.
The
very
next
day.
I
got
a
call
from
the
landlord
and
the
Landlord
told
me
he
is
good
to
go.
I
picked
up.
The
phone
I
was
so
excited.
I
picked
up
the
phone,
I
called
Todd
I
said:
hey
good
news,
I
said,
guess
what
I
said
you
have
been
approved
when
I
tell
you.
I
I
have
never
seen
a
person
crack
like
this
in
a
long
time.
He
cried
and
he
thanked
me
and
he
kept
thanking
me.
He
thanked
me
so
many
times,
I
lost
count
with
it.
He
didn't
even
know
what
this
unit
looked
like
only
thing
he
knew
is
that
he
was
going
to
be
off
the
streets.
She
signed
his
least
a
couple
of
days
after
so
he
was
able
to
build
a
unit.
He
broke
down
again
and
cried
because
not
only
was
I
able
to
house
him.
I
I
was
able
to
convince
the
landlord
and
house
him
in
a
beautiful
high-end
unit
and
in
his
own
words
he
said,
miss
Langston.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
am
now
living
in
my
mansion,
and
that
touched
my
heart
and
thank
you
all
for
everything
that
you
have
done
to
make
this
possible
for
time,
because
without
the
funding
he
would
not
be
able
to
be.
How
so
I
really
do
appreciate
you
all.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
B
J
J
J
Today,
I'd
like
to
say
one
of
the
things
we
people
hope
I
like
and
the
young
lady
just
mentioned
four
minutes
ago,
when
they
come
to
us
they're,
very
down
and
out
and
disturbed
because
of
their
condition
and
circumstances,
and
one
of
the
first
things
we
try
to
do
is
just
calm
down,
set
them
down
and
help
them
understand.
We
heal
them
without
looking
down
at
them
and
build
them
some
hope.
J
So
one
of
the
first
things
we
do
is
assess
their
family
needs
to
the
best
course
of
action
to
table
so
that
family
could
quickly
be
stabilized.
And
then
we
look
at
long-term
is
manageable
plan
to
move
the
family
independence
self-sufficiency
program
because
we
don't
families
to
continue
to
be
depended
upon.
We
won't
realize
the
ability
to
take
care
of
their
own
needs
and
give
them
the
assistance
when
needed.
J
J
Energy
Assistance,
Program
LIHEAP
has
been
very
instrumental
in
helping
us
make
sure
that
those
families
are
stabilized
as
far
as
their
energy
bills
are
concerned,
one
of
the
key
things
that
we
do
know
families
to
community
board
foot
and
to
collaborate
with
them.
So
we
can
minimize
duplication
and
and
and
get
the
most
of
the
services
that's
in
the
community
and
then
finally,
we
do
the
data
tracking
with
that
service
program,
to
share
information
and
other
services
across
the
board,
as
relates
to
the
area
Agencies.
J
The
things
that
we'd
like
to
pursue
moving
forward.
We
want
to
create
more
partnerships
in
the
community
because
we
have
do
that
and
for
this
upcoming
year
we
like
to
expand
our
partnership
opportunities,
a
fellow
you
get
more
resources
out
in
the
community.
By
doing
that,
we
also
like
to
expand
our
family
empowerment
program.
We
have
nine
active
families
that
are
found
on
the
program
we
feel
like.
We
can
at
least
manage
up
to
15
and
that's
the
crisis.
J
Management
in
families
with
a
strong
wraparound
services
is
moving
rapidly
towards
self-sufficiency
and,
last
but
not
least,
we'd
like
to
expand
our
outreach
program.
We
plan
to
be
more
in
our
way:
sinners,
churches
and
expanding
our
reach
so
that
we
can
touch
more
families
with
with
outstanding
services
that
we
have
to
offer.
So
thank
you
all
for
what
you've
done
in
the
past
and
what
you'll
do
move
this
budget
we
feel
like
we
can
impact
our
quite
a
few
families
and
help
them
make
difference
in
their
lives.
Thank.
L
Fire
social
support,
as
you
know,
we
started
a
program
about
a
year
ago,
called
CFD
connects
which
utilizes
UTC
interns
to
help
us
identify
individuals
that
frequently
call
the
nine
on
one
system
for
non-emergency
type
calls
and
we're
able
to
actually
go
see
what
these
individuals
need,
usually
their
basic
needs
that
were
able
to
connect
them
with
different
resources.
So
when
using
the
UTC
interns
were
able
to
do
a
needs
assessment
and
connect
these
individuals
with
available
resources.
L
B
M
Afternoon,
sir,
yes
thank
the
opportunity
just
wanted
to
go
over
some
of
the
programs
that
we've
discussed
previously,
so
you
and
the
community
can
hear
again
just
what
your
department
does,
especially
connecting
into
those
in
a
mental
health
crisis
situation
and
or
sometimes
presenting
in
a
homeless
situation.
So
the
first
one-
and
we
are
very
proud
of-
is
our
connection
with
Joe
Johnson
about
two
years
ago,
in
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
to
jointly
go
into
a
pre
arrest
diversion
program.
M
This
began
with
some
state-based
funding
coming
in
to
Joe
Johnson,
to
not
only
help
build
the
program
out,
but
also
to
help
actually
build
out
the
physical
space
within
their
structure
on
the
North
Shore
as
well.
We
work
collaboratively
with
Joe
Johnson
to
help
build
and
understand
the
best
way
to
get
individuals
that
may
have
had
their
first
encounter
with
CPD
into
Joe
Johnson
themselves.
So
not
only
the
physical
structure
but
also
they
managed
to
build
out
a
pharmacy
section,
their
in-house
treatment
area,
just
the
overall
fantastic
program
that
they
have
in
that
facility.
M
If
they've
identified
that
individual
is
also
having
a
prior
relationship
with
Joe
Johnson,
then
they
will
work
to
be
able
to
transport
that
individual
directly
over
to
their
facility,
instead
of
taking
them
to
jail.
That
way,
we
don't
just
keep
perpetuating
this
cycle
that
way,
we
can
get
that
individual
if
it's
a
meds
issue,
if
it's
a
treatment
issue,
if
it's
an
overlay
of
all
of
that,
they
can
go
directly
into
the
care
and
custody
of
Joe
Johnson,
our
officer
gets
back
in
service
and-
and
maybe
we
start
a
different,
healthier
path
for
that
person.
M
Another
way
is
the
crisis.
Intervention
training,
as
we've
spoken
at
length,
is
an
in-depth
de-escalation
and
crisis
intervention
training
that
our
officers
go
through.
At
this
point,
we're
in
the
neighborhood
of
about
120
to
130
CPD
officers
that
have
attended
this
training
and
we
hope
to
have
more
attend
this
coming
year
in
either
one
or
two
classes
that
are
jointly
carried
out
between
us
and
other
law
enforcement
agencies
in
the
area.
M
This
puts
a
number
of
crisis
trained
into
officers
out
on
the
street
and
in
other
capacities
within
the
department,
so
that
they
can
respond
directly
into
situation
with
an
individual
in
crisis.
So
we
can
figure
out
the
best
way
to
handle
that.
What
is
the
resolution
to
this?
For
that
individual
and
then?
Lastly,
is
the
overlayed
continuing
partnerships
that
we
have
with
the
many
of
the
great
advocacies
that
are
in
the
area,
whether
those
be
done
in
11th,
Street,
community
kitchen
clinic,
you
name
it.
M
The
officers
are
involved
in
the
interagency
Council
on
homelessness
as
well,
so
we
can
figure
out
which
ways
that
officers,
if
we
are
the
first
ones
called
what
are
other
ways
to
deal
with
it
that
are
non-traditional
methods
in
law
enforcement.
So
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
and
I
appreciate
it
to
just
let
you
know
the
great
work
that
your
Police
Department
has
done
in
recent
years
to
try
and
find
different
ways
to
come
to
better
resolutions.
N
Right,
yes,
Thank,
You
counsel,
Jermaine,
Freeman,
deputy
chief
of
staff
to
me,
Randy
Burke,
and
so
the
administration
worked
alongside
the
City
Council
to
answer
questions
and
address
concerns,
as
we
do
every
year
during
budget
review,
that
in
late
May
we
all
watched
and
the
unjust
killing
of
George
Floyd.
This
sparked
a
call
for
reviewing
police
policies
and
how
municipalities
serve
black
and
brown
communities
bond
to
nonviolent
emergency
calls.
We
immediately
reviewed
our
policing
policies
to
ensure
the
safety
of
residents
and
officers.
N
We
then
looked
at
ways
to
reinvest
some
of
our
police
budget
to
be
more
poignant
and
social
work
driven,
and
so
what
we
did
was
we
created
the
office
of
community
resilience,
which
is
now
a
new
division
within
our
Department
of
Youth
and
Family
Development,
with
more
than
a
million
dollars
that
you're
able
to
use
to
call
the
new
office.
This
new
office
will
bring
together
a
coherent
office
that
can
align
efforts
to
support
our
citizens,
including
aligning
our
efforts
on
social
work
services,
including
to
support
victims
of
crime.
B
O
Afternoon
so,
besides
continuing
to
provide
care
for
victims
of
intimate
partner,
violence,
domestic
violence
and
family
violence,
the
Family
Justice
Center
has
begun
to
in
a
couple
of
changes.
One
of
them
is,
we
are
no
longer
operating
on
there,
a
general
memorandum
of
understanding
where
our
translate
agency-specific
agreements
that
are
negotiated
to
identify
the
strengths
of
each
age
of
each
agency,
so
that
we
can
be
more
efficient
in
our
service
delivery.
We
are
also
consolidating
intake
processes
as
well
as
referral
processes.
O
So
we
are
currently
Co
chairing
a
committee
with
the
Hamilton
County
School
Board,
that
addresses
social-emotional
learning,
and
by
doing
so
we
are
trying
to
identify
barriers
to
accessibility
of
mental
health
services
as
well
as
being
able
to
provide
services
to
not
just
the
students
but
the
parents,
caregivers,
foster
parents
or
anyone
who
is
caring
for
the
child
as
well
as
educators
and
faculty
within
the
school
system.
So
that
is
something
that
we
are
focusing
on
in
the
new
in
a
new
coming
budget.
B
P
P
P
We
appreciate
you
listening
to
all
of
the
administrative
team
and
members
of
the
community
to
talk
about
some
of
the
great
programs.
We
will
continue
in
this
budget.
As
the
mayor
has
said
many
times
in
the
past
several
months.
The
toughest
times
brings
out
the
best
in
our
people.
Certainly
we
have
seen
that
time
and
again
through
the
diligent
and
tower's
work
of
our
employees
through
the
compassionate
service
of
community
partners.
P
Working
to
educate
our
kids,
housing
for
the
homeless,
provide
kovat
testing
and
the
most
vulnerable
and
through
the
cooperation
of
each
other
Liggins,
who
understand
how
serious
the
crisis
still
is
and
are
working
even
now
to
limit
its
damage
to
our
community.
In
addition
to
the
student
to
the
two
hundred
and
fifty
5.4
million
dollar
general
fund,
this
budget
includes
13
other
funds
for
a
total
operating
budget
of
340
million
dollars.
P
The
grand
total
of
all
of
the
the
budget
for
this
year
is
five
hundred
and
twenty
million
dollars
it
is
built
on
it
in
a
crisis
with
a
projected
loss
of
eight
point,
four
million
dollars,
as
Martin
stated,
it
is
predicated
on
economic
assumptions
that
are
subject
to
change
at
a
moment's
notice.
As
long
as
kovat
is
still
an
ongoing
threat
result
in
unavoidable
costs
related
to
the
pandemic
covered
with
significant
revenue
loss
have
created
an
unprecedented
challenge
that
is
unpredictable
in
its
effect.
P
This
budget
assures
that
promises
made
to
our
retirees
our
care
confirmed
it.
Obligations
to
bondholders
we
have
invested
in
our
city
will
be
paid
on
a
timely
basis,
but
our
most
valuable
resource
our
employees,
will
be
congruent
and
to
be
paid
a
current
level
and
receive
no
cuts
and
benefits
nor
increase
in
their
contributions.
For
those
benefits,
the
homeless
will
be
cared
for,
along
with
many
other
social
services
through
continued
community
partnerships
that
leverage
maximum
support
from
the
public
and
private
sector
capital.
P
Investments
in
public
infrastructure
is
maintained
at
a
level
that
ensures
continued
strong
fiscal
position
and
long-term
sustainable
growth.
And
last
but
not
least,
this
budget
has
responded,
although
not
enough
for
many
to
the
demands
of
the
community,
with
respect
to
the
allocations
for
public
safety
dollars
in
a
strategic
manner.
That
assurance
a
well-thought-out
plan
that
is
sustainable
and
effective
for
FY
21
and
used
to
come
Thank
You
counsel
for
your
support.
A
C
Q
Just
got
a
couple
of
questions
about
it.
Are
we
able
to
put
it
on
our
website
so
people
who
not
in
attendance
to
this
3
or
3:30
agenda
session?
They
can
view
it,
and
can
we
also
receive
a
copy,
so
we
can
email
it
to
our
constituents,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
they
they
know
what
services
that
we
have
available
that's
being
offered,
and
you
know
how
we
can
get
them
fully
into
the
services.
Yes,.
Q
You
and
then
the
set
another
poll.
What
is
that
the
office
of
community
resilience,
the
recidivism
reduction?
Is
there
anything
that
we
can
really
add
school,
that
outside
of
helping
with
expungements,
which
we
know
she'll
wanna
canter,
to
do
that?
Pretty
much?
What
about
workforce?
That
kind
of
stuff
like,
though
we
have
more
jobs
or
like
housing,
because
that
recidivism
reduction
comes
with
more
than
just
gave
my
back
ground
clean?
It
does.
A
I
agree
yeah,
so
the
first
thing
that
the
office
will
will
happen
for
the
office
as
soon
as
the
budget
is
approved.
The
mayor
has
said
that
he
would
like
to
convene
a
working
group
and
a
community
task
force
to
set
up
the
parameters
of
what
the
office
needs
to
address
and
how
it
needs
to
address
them.
So
community
partners
will
be
brought
in
to
look
at
all
those
different
spokes
that
will
make
up
this
office
and
that's
a
huge
part
that
needs
to
be
worked
on.
I
agree.
Q
I'd
love
to
be
a
part
of
that
conversation
I'm,
not
just
don't
just
to
be
another
department
that
we're
just
putting
together
and
nothing
is
really
done,
because
the
issues
that
we
have
under
the
office
of
community
resilience
are
very
important.
Not
their
other
areas
are
not
important,
but
everything
under
this
Lea
is
pretty
much
I'm,
passionate
about,
and
you
know,
housing
which
that
was
under
there.
Q
But
when
I,
look
at
the
neighborhood
based
planning
the
thing
about
that
I'm
not
I,
think
that's
great,
our
PA
and
economic
development,
but
so
my
understanding
is
what
we've
already
been
doing
and
when
concerns
from
community
members
are
they're
asking
for
specific
things
and
planning
around
it.
It's
simply
not
happening.
Q
So
how
can
I
be
reassured
that
this
name
based
planning
that
those
things
will
be
implemented
into
those
communities,
while
community
members
are
being
active,
we're
in
some
of
these
communities
we're
still
waiting
on
updated
plans
from
things
that
neighborhood
based
planning
implemented
back
10
or
so
years
ago?
So
what
would
actually
change.
A
That's
exactly
why
it
was
added.
There
were
some
some
folks
who
have
looked
at
this
list
of
things
that
the
community
resilience
office
will
undertake
and
have
thought
that
neighborhood
planning
shouldn't
be
as
a
part
of
that
group
and
I
was
afraid.
That's
where
you
were
going
when
you
first
started
speaking
and
I
was
going
to
argue
again
against
that
and
argue
with
you,
so
I'm
glad
I
didn't
have
to
do
that
because
I
agree
with
you
councilman.
A
It's
such
a
huge
part
of
making
a
community
whole
and
that's
another
component
that
has
to
be
at
the
table
so
I'm
I'm.
All
I
can
tell
you
is
that
it
is
a
huge
step
that
it's
at
the
table,
and
that
is
known
and
stated
by
the
passage
of
this
office
that
that
it
is
important
and
that
the
resources
will
be
put
towards
it.
Q
All
right
and
then
one
last
question
of
Sheriff
I
me
that
Morrow
of
when
we're
talking
about
the
direction
of
who's
gonna
lead
this
office
of
community
resilience.
I,
know
the
community
input
and
getting
faith,
leaders
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
the
bottom
line
is
whoever
will
be
deemed
as
the
director.
They
have
to
have
a
passion
to
really
want
to
do
the
work
not
taken
away
from
anybody
who
may
apply
so
the
work.
Q
But
what
I
don't
want
to
see
happen
is
what
we've
seen
in
previous
budgets
is
that
we're
moving
people
who've
been
working
under
grants
and
filling
positions
with
those
individuals
and
then
putting
out
another
BIA
to
say
we
need
to
hire
some
additional
folks
and
everybody
is
not
gonna,
be
cut
out.
So
do
the
work
or
what's
needed
in
office
of
community
resilience
and
that's
understandable
but
and
I
know
some
people.
You
know
they
accept
the
jobs
and
saying
that
I
can't
do
it,
but
once
that
get
in
it,
the
work
isn't
being
done.
Q
R
I,
just
one
thing,
echoing
with
Council
on
the
core
I
say:
the
only
issue
is
so
many
people.
Some
people
know
more,
but
some
people
don't
want
to
know
so.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
put
this
out.
I
want
to
send
this
to
the
radio
stations
every
station
and
chatting
to
the
talk,
radio,
music,
radio.
Everyone
needs
to
see
this,
so
they
know
what's
going
on,
I
want
to
see
this
I
want
to
send
this
to
the
newspaper.
I
want
a
copy
of
it.
R
Every
council
person
I
want
to
share
it
on
Facebook,
Instagram
social
media
just
to
show
the
work.
That's
been
done
and
we
know
the
narrative.
Well,
that's
not
enough,
but
it
just
shows
that
you
guys
have
the
compassion
and
the
heart
to
do
the
right
thing
and
I've
known
this
for
four
years
since
I've
been
here
that
you
want
to
do
the
right
thing,
and
so
often
people
close
the
blind
here
to
what's
going
on
so
I
mean
a
blind.
R
You
know
it's
what's
gonna,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
the
word
out.
So
please
send
it
to
me.
Please
please
please,
and
if
any
press
release
or
something
that
you
guys
have,
if
you
all,
can
put
that
on
the
forefront
just
to
show
that
this
is
the
work
without
any
protest.
Without
anything,
this
was
already
being
done
because
Chattanooga
is
a
great
city
and
we
do
want
to
be
forward-thinking
and
do
things
the
right
way.
One
thing
about
the
office
of
family
resilience,
I
think,
will
be
amazing
feet.
R
Amazing
thing
to
me:
I'ma
say
a
few
names
that
I
want
to
just
put
on
your
brain.
It's
a
it's
a
root
called
P
PCH.
It's
ran
by
young
african-american
man
named
Alan
green.
He
has
a
nonprofit.
It's
a
guy
named
reach
woman
teach
when
his
name
is
Reggie.
He
runs
a
nonprofit
fatherly
figure
dude
named
guy
named
T,
Jones
and
Bryan
runs
that
the
I''m
foundation
ran
by
DeAngelo
Davis,
the
urban
Policy
Institute
by
Dennis
Clark,
and
it's
a
young
lady
named
Deborah
Johnson
who
works
in
our
community
as
well.
R
I
would
love
to
see
you
guys
bring
these
people
to
the
table
if
it's
a
board,
if
is
just
to
have
conversation
about
how
to
build
an
office
of
family
resilience,
I
have
the
name
of
their
companies
and
their
phone
number
Miss,
Moore
and
I
will
be
ordering
them
to
you
and
I
would
love
to
just
see
them
at
the
table.
Thank
you
just
to
have
a
conversation.
R
B
S
Sir
I
do
I
wanted
to
speak
right
after
the
presentation,
because
the
point
of
the
presentation
was
really
the
good
response
we're
having
now.
We
can't
go
forward
with
all
of
these
ideas
and
building
on
them
unless
we
pass
the
budget
we're
stuck
with
what
we've
been
doing
in
the
past,
which
everybody
agrees
wasn't
enough.
The
second
thing
that
I
want
to
say
that
I
Maura
I
thought
you
might
mention.
S
Black
and
brown
people,
people
of
all
sorts
of
differences,
and
we
got
that
report
back
and-
and
we
found
out
that,
yes,
there
were
some
things
we
needed
to
do
once
again.
I
want
to
get
this
budget
passed
so
that
we
can
start
doing
it.
I
don't
want
to
be
frozen
in
time.
So
just
wanted
to
add
that
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
have
this
presentation
brought
forward.
K
A
I'm
sure
he
will-
and
he
hasn't,
has
not
put
together
the
there's,
no
already
formulated
list
of
people
to
be
on
the
task
force.
So
I'm
sure
that
that
that
he
will
do
that
and
if
love
that
some
of
you
already
have
names,
it
sounds
like
probably
all
of
you
already
have
names
and
I
know
that
he'll
want
to
talk
to
each
of
you
about
that.
So
that's
a
great
question.
Thank
you.
Look.
K
Forward
to
his
call,
Thank
You,
Mara,
okay,
mr.
chairman
I,
was
going,
is
I,
hope
that
you've
all
had
an
opportunity
to
read
what
I
sent
out.
If
you
haven't,
please
try
to
take
the
time
to
find
it's
Jerry,
Mitchell
email
address.
What
I
said
yesterday
was
some
information
that
I
have
received
from
constituents
in
district
2,
with
some
suggestions
not
only
from
a
budgetary
standpoint,
but
also
from
a
policy
standpoint
as
especially
as
it
relates
to
the
police
department.
But
what
I
was
wanting
to
say.
E
K
K
I
know
the
harps
there
in
the
administration
I
see
some
directional
things
that
I'm
not
going
to
comment
on
today
in
the
presentation
that
I
say
to
myself.
Well,
why
would
that
be
so?
I
just
would
like
to
ask
the
council
if
you
would
to
help
me,
engage
in
a
conversation
as
quickly
as
possible
after
this
budget
passes.
I
fully
am
aware
of
July
1.
We
gotta
have
some
money
and
to
have
this
conversation
now
it's
it's
it's
it's
a
little.
K
It's
going
to
take
some
diligent
work
on
all
our
parts,
plus
the
folks
that
are
pushing
us
to
do
more
and
do
better,
and
hopefully
we
will
do
it
together
and
I
would
just
like
to
ask
that
the
council
would
join
me
in
that
conversation
and
if
you
would
agree
to
do
that,
I
guess
we
could
figure
out
what
format
that
would
take
and
you
know,
do
we
put
it
in
committee.
Do
what
do
we
put
it
in
obviously,.
E
K
J
K
E
K
Them
there
are
policy
issues,
so
maybe
that
stuff
goes
to
public
safety
and
I
have
a
lot
of
confidence
in
councilman
bird's
ability.
Also
so
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
I,
don't
think
any
of
you
are
scared
to
take
this
on.
At
least
that's
that's
my
opinion
of
each
and
every
one
of
my
colleagues
and
I
would
ask
you
to
join
me
in
engaging
in
this
discussion
that
can
help
us
move
towards
or
help
the
folks
that
are
pushing
us
to
move
towards
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
community
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I,.
K
B
B
Thank
you,
sir,
and,
and
let
me
just
tell
you
I-
would
be
more
than
engaging
this
conversation.
I
would
say
this,
and
this
is
what
I
would
request.
Is
that
our
conversation
in
order
to
be
as
productive
as
it
can
be,
because
that
our
conversation
center
around
things
that
we
would
like
to
see
funded,
not
defunded
and
I,
would
trust
you
to
help
us
with
that.
B
U
You,
chair
I,
agree
with
my
colleagues,
especially
in
the
councilman
Terry
mentioned.
You
know.
One
thing
that
put
things
on
paper
with
you
is
to
actually
put
into
action.
I
think
a
lot
of
time.
Yes,
Council
has
said
we
will
see
results.
We
want
to
see
the
outcome
of
what
we
have
put
in
place
and
I.
Think
this
point
over
and
once
we
get
started,
I
can
spare
the
study.
U
You
know
we
don't
need
to
put
it
on
the
shelf,
DX
or
the
low-hanging
fruit
and
push
forward
to
make
things
equal
or
fair
to
all
people
in
China,
so
our
faces,
beginning
of
it,
I,
think
that
if
we
stay
on
it
and
actually
ask
questions
during
the
year,
I'm
not
just
doing
budget
time
but
accidentally
a
year
to
say
hey.
Where
are
we
at
with
this?
That's
why
I
was
pushing
mr.
Toney.
Some
of
that.
U
Where
are
we
gonna
start
this
we're
gonna
start
at
one
month
to
month
win
so
that
we
have
update
that.
We
can
look
forward
to
to
see
where
we
at
with
what
the
program.
That's
all
programs,
we
need
to
say:
where
are
we
having
these
programs?
What
is
outcome
not
before
in
the
next
year
or
so,
but
in
three
months?
Q
You
Jerry,
you
know
I'm
100%
behind
it
uh-huh
thank
you
for
bringing
it
up,
because
I
almost
definitely
was,
but
I
got
how
to
bring
it
back.
To
the
point
is
this
the
budget
we
can
make
all
the
tweaks
in
the
fixes
with
this
budget.
It's
still
hang
on
change
so
braces,
that's
the
lack
of
it.
Our
other
root
cause
is
that
we
don't.
We
don't
want
to
address
them.
We
want
to
talk
about
that's
what
we
first
got
to
be
honest
about
this:
let's
get
to
the
root
cause
and
then
move
forward.
Q
We
know
that
our
state
legislation
they're
out
until
January,
so
this
will
be
the
perfect
time
to
work
on
policies
that
need
to
be
be
changed,
and
this
is
not
just
a
police
department
that
we
need
to
take
a
deeper
dive
in
every
department
within
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
We
need
to
be
taking
a
deeper
dive
in
because
it's
more
work,
it's
a
lot
of
work
that
each
the
department
can
be.
Q
We
need
to
look
at
their
policies
holiday-
it's
not
just
the
police
department
and
also
I
just
want
to
bring
and
ask
my
colleagues
if
we
can
invest
in
us
doing
a
racial
equity
and
reconciliation
training.
I
think
it'll
be
beneficial
for
our
nine
of
us
to
go
through
it.
To
really
see
I
mean
in
this.
It's
it'll
be
some
stuff
that
we
that's
gonna,
be
hard,
but
we're
in
2020
and
it's
time
for
us
to
deal
with
what
it
is.
It's
time
for
us
to
heal
and
get
past
the
hurt
and
different
things.
Q
Q
It's
preventing
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
for
every
citizen
to
have
an
equitable
opportunity,
and
that's
that's
what
I
want
to
see
earnings
for
everybody
weak,
like
I,
said
before
that
tornado
that
ripped
through
is
branded.
It
exposed
a
lot
of
poor
white
people
that
are
afraid
just
like
black
people
to
say:
I
wanna
get
help
they
don't
have
excess
just
like
we
don't
have
excess.
Nobody
is
talking
about
this,
go
I
better,
make
sure
they
got
the
cogut
testing.
None
of
that.
Q
So
we
gotta
make
sure
that
we're
helping
our
citizens,
everybody
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
because
everybody
need
help.
Every
district
got
poor
pockets
of
of
every
shade
that
I
don't
seem
and
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
helping
everybody-
and
we
gotta,
put
our
biases
aside
they'll-
make
sure
that
we're
not
leaving
out
one
citizen
behind
just
like
I
care
about
people
that
live
in
our
family
sites
or
most
people
call
them
housing
projects.
Were
black
people
mostly
live.
Q
I
care
about
those
poor
white
people
that
live
in
those
trailer
parks
is
will
if
everybody
gotta
help
access
and
that's
what
our
council
should
be
about.
So
if
we
could,
you
know,
get
together
about
their
bracelet.
We
show
you
what
she
does
a
great
job
with
it
she's
already
working
with
River
City
the
chamber.
They
would
lay
hers
McClellan,
everybody
and
I.
Think
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
trained
in
this.
Will.
K
M
B
We
we
do
need
to
move
on.
We've
got
probably
a
little
right
on
our
left.
We
do
have
Public
Works
Committee
of
the
works
of
transportation,
and
we
also
have
a
see
doc
presentation.
It
is
my
understanding
comes
from
Ledford
that
we
do
need
to
postpone
our
planning
and
zoning
item
that
we
had
a
committee
that
we
had.
Yes,.

Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
this
is
for
dr.
burgers.
We
had
a
great
session
last
year
where
we
were
able
to
actually
see
the
bond
purchasing
process
and
talk
about
the
coupons
and
what
do
you
think
that
that
will
be
something
we'll
be
able
to
revisit
again
this
year
for
education
purposes
or
sure
I
hope
so
that'd
be
great.
Thank
you
very.

you.

Most
of
the
way
complete
it's
very
exciting,
especially
related
to
some
of
the
transit
work
they
got
highlighted
earlier
and
I
always
invite
our
staff
to
provide
these
presentations
if
they
want
to
greg,
was
comfortable
doing
that
means
put
together
a
really
short,
quick,
informative
presentation
about
a
great
project,
little
more
than
so
with
that
I'll
stick
around.
If
there's
any
questions,
Greg
can't
answer,
but
I'll,
let
Greg
take
it
from
here.
I
said
Greg:
you
can
miss.
O
B
Y
That
there
they
go
sorry
about
that
I
guess
my
screen
currently
yeah.
We
can
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
having
me
today
and
I.
Listen
to
a
lot
of
your
conversations
today
and
I
think
this
falls
right
into
place
with
mobility
for
visually
challenged
and
equitability
and
fair
transportation
for
everyone.
The
transit
stop
accessibility,
improvement
project
is
a
5310
grant
that
we
secured
through
Carta
a
partnership
between
tart
and
CDOT
as
Lisa
Marek.
Y
Nano
said
earlier,
and
it's
the
whole
goal
here
is
to
prevent
barriers
to
folks
who
are
trying
to
get
to
a
bus
stop
to
a
transit
stop.
It
came
at
a
cost
of
five
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
ten
dollars.
We
began
construction,
late,
February
right
as
the
pandemic
started,
but
we're
still
on
track
for
a
completion
of
all
of
our
hard
scape
works
by
July.
Y
27Th
locations
are
spread
out
all
over
the
city
and
we've
got
15
locations
currently,
and
these
locations
were
chosen
by
using
the
ramp
deployment
data
that
karna
has
on
their
buses.
We
then
correlated
it
with
our
map,
see
dots
map
of
hotspots
for
where
people
may
be
traveling,
such
as
medical
facilities,
municipal
facilities,
things
of
that
nature.
So
we
were
then
able
to
pick
the
sites
that
best
would
best
help
the
most
people
and,
as
you
can
see,
with
their
distributed
pretty
well.
Y
Y
Y
So
what
this
is
to
fix
a
lot
of
times
it's
something
as
simple
as
tree
roots,
which
is
a
sidewalk
or
maybe
there's
a
ramp,
that's
too
steep,
so
that
a
wheelchair
may
turn
over
and
trying
to
utilize
them.
So
what
we've
done
is
go
ahead
and
correct
these
and
done
things
simple
things
sometimes
such
as
put
root
barrier
down
underneath
the
sidewalks.
Y
If
the
tree
Ridge
will
not
heed
them
again,
because,
as
you
can
see,
this
is
a
large
oak
tree,
it's
likely
to
try
again,
but
these
products,
which
gene
hide
actually
was
a
huge
proponent
of
I,
know.
We
all
know.
Gene
ID
seemed
to
help
greatly.
In
that
instance,
we've
also
created
new
ramps
that
are
slider
slopes
and
spots
for
bus
stops,
which
are
now
going
to
be
a
TA,
accessible.
We're
and
they'll
be
installed
soon
as
well.
Y
We
really
couldn't
do
this
work,
though,
without
our
contractors
and
subcontractors
to
actually
get
out
there
boots
on
the
ground
and
make
this
happen.
Sometimes
it
seems
like
these
projects
just
occur,
but
it
takes
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
dedication
from
these
folks
to
make
these
product
projects
a
reality
and
really,
if
you
guys
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them,
but
I
think
it's.
B
U
U
B
X
Sir
I
will
add,
since
you
asked,
was
mr.
chairman,
then
some
I
think
Greg,
while
you're
still
listening,
Kinney,
who
was
Greg's
predecessor,
was
working
on
that
that
issue
with
papers
on
11th
Street
I.
Do
you
think
we
develop
the
solution,
but
grant
will
go
check
it
out
tomorrow
and
we'll
make
sure
to
get
back
to
okay.
X
B
B
U
B
U
B
B
P
Okay-
and
this
is
a
last-minute
development
and
I-
don't
think
we're
addressing
it
next
week.
But
here's
what's
happened
in
looking
at
the
law.
The
state
law
regarding
a
budget
amendment
that
the
only
conditions
under
which
you
are
allowed
to
spend
money
from
reserves
is
in
an
emergency
emergency
situation
and
that
emergency
has
to
be
declared.
So
the
resolution
is
just
going
to
add
lines
that
says
where's
Kovac,
whereas.
P
P
Q
Okay
because
reason
I'm
asked
because
we
approve
in
something
this
week
and
then
we
going
back
in
them,
meaning
it
why
we
just
can't
put
it
on
for
what
it's
gonna
be
instead
of
follow
forward
and
in
Amanda
T,
or
does
it
have
to
be
because
we
passing
a
pass
the
budget?
That's
what
this
item
is
for,
of
course,
all
right.
Okay,.
P
Q
T
While
I've
been
running
back
and
forth
to
court
today,
Valerie
in
my
office
was
suggesting
that
maybe
you
needed
some
language
talking
about
the
coab
at
19
in
your
amendment
to
the
budget
ordinance.
That's
the
reason
for
these
amendments
that
be
added-
and
she
was
just
simply
adding,
whereas
clauses
to
the
beginning
of
that
for
a
draft
would
need
to
have
some
authority
to
be
able
to
substitute
that
on
your
agenda.
T
If
you
choose
to
do
so,
but
it
was
giving
references
that
President
Trump
declared
the
cupboard
19
public
health
emergency
on
a
certain
time,
the
governor
has
actually
imposed
an
executive
order.
Declaring
a
state
of
emergency
and
Mayor.
Burke
has
likewise
declared
a
state
of
emergency
here
in
this
area.
In
addition
to
the
fact
that
y'all
have
had
a
tornado,
he
had
a
portion
of
their
city
and
that's
the
reason
for
your
amendments
to
the
budget.
Work.
X
Q
Back
into
that
yeah
cuz,
they
said
we
do.
It
went
through
a
low
case
today
about
this
alternate
version.
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
I
didn't
miss
the
fair.
A
first
version
is,
is
what
I'm
saying
I
don't
want
anybody
else
to
think
that
we
just
putting
out
Santa
versions
and
that's
it
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
in
a
clearing
wanted
to
be
on
Brooklyn
in
case
we
get
sucked
back
to
court
again.
That's
yes
and.
T
B
Okay,
looking
to
our
future
considerations,
there's
not
but
one
item
on
that:
the
flying
disc
Club.
You
may
be
getting
questions
about
that.
Okay
before
we
go
into
Public
Works
and
transportation
committee
council
mitchell-lama,
the
city
attorney
has
requested
an
attorney-client
privilege
before
we
break
to
go
to
our
six
o'clock
meeting.
So
is
there
anything
else?
Mr.
Noblet?
Is
that
what
your
hand
is
for
if.
T
Q
Thank
again
I'm
gonna
make
this
quick
and
I
just
want
to
ask
the
budget
chair,
Councilwoman
Birds,
now
with
the
passing
of
this
budget.
Does
that
mean
that
the
funds
that
the
council
had
levels
funds
are
automatically
encumbered
to
go
back
to
reserves
or
where
they
need
to
be,
or
can
we
still
make
a
decision
on
what
we
want
to
do
with
those
remaining
funds.
S
Yeah
we've
we've
been
working
on
that
about
several
sessions
ago.
You
all
the
idea
was
microphones
and
the
idea
you
brought
up
a
bunch
of
different
things.
I
don't
have
those
minutes
in
front
of
me
and
I
asked
council
for
permission,
and
in
this
case
it
would
be
working
with
Vice
Chair
Smith.
We
were
trying
to
get
microphones,
so
the
money
we
need
is
we're.
Gonna
take
whatever
is
left
over
and
use
it.
You
said
you
wanted
microphones
because
it
wasn't
enough
to
cover
safety.
S
Now,
if
there
is
we'll
use
it
and
right
now,
Vice
Chair
Smith
is
using
is
is
researching.
What
are
the
best
microphones
for
us,
because
pretty
soon
we're
gonna
have
to
go
back
into
session,
so
I'll
be
doing
this
week
with
Daisy
whatever
it
is.
We
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
that's
encumbered,
if
you
will.
Q
S
Other
thing
L
doesn't
know
of
you
all
of
you
haven't
gotten
your
expenses
in
yet
I,
don't
think,
and
it's
hard
for
us
to
get
our
arms
around
exactly
what
we've
got
left.
If
you
would
please
please
get
those
in
and
then
we'll
take
it
from
there,
but
several
sessions
ago,
Councilwoman,
you
gave
me
a
commission
to
work
with
whomever
to
cumber
encumber
for
whatever
and
whatever
was
safety
and
microphones.

B
You
the
Chairman,
thank
you,
sir
Justin.
It
I
guess
my
question
sort
of
revolves
around
how
much
longer
do
you
think
we
will
retain
Jacobs
engineering
around
the
city.
It
seems
like
ever
since
I've
been
on
the
council.
We've
had
a
contract
with
Jake's.
This
is
this
is
for
a
specific
amount
amount,
a
blanket
contract,
not
an
up
to
amount
which
I'm
a
little
I
guess
confused
like
most
blanket
contracts
or
for
up
to
an
amount.
Z
Okay
and
that-
and
we
may
need
to
revisit
that-
I'll
double
back
with
Justin
Steinman
here
in
just
a
moment
but
and
we
if
that
needs
to
be
amended.
Thank
you
for
bringing
it
to
my
attention
that
needs
to
be
amended.
We
will
do
that.
I'll
follow
up
this
space.
This
is
a
contract
that
supersedes
a
current
emergency
contract
that
we
have
with
Jacobs
Engineering
specific
to
disaster
recovery
assistance
that
was
required
by
FEMA.
Z
The
this
contract
is
a
little
bit
different
than
what
the
the
contract
that
we
preached
that
we
currently
have
with
Jacobs
Engineering,
who
provides
a
program
management
of
our
consent,
decree
and
so
they've,
been
they've
been
employed
by
us
since
2013
as
our
program
manager
for
specifically
for
the
consent
decree.
But
this
is
this
would
function
as
a
blanket
contract
to
help
the
city
with
FEMA
documentation
and
reimbursement
for
the
February,
2019
floods,
the
April
2020,
tornado,
kovat,
19,
declared
disasters
and
with
a
set
duration
for
all
of
those
activities.
Z
They
also
will
begin
work
on
emergency
preparedness
plan
to
facilitate
rapid
response
for
future
disasters
that
makes
them
available
on
an
as-needed
basis
in
the
future,
in
in
the
case
of
a
disaster
renewals
for
this
for
the
future
years
beyond
your
one
would
be
solely
retained.
It
good
to
be
really
to
solely
just
retain
Jacobs
for
assistance
on
an
as-needed
basis.
I
hope
that
helps
answer
your
question
and
I
will
see.
Justin
Steinman
is
now
available
to
respond
to
that.
Z
W
Think
mr.
Hollin
did
a
good
summarizing
that
really
you
know,
in
this
case
Jacobs
is
providing
support
services
for
us
to
help
us
in
recovering
as
much
in
the
way
of
funds
as
we
can
for
all
three
disasters.
This
contract
is
necessary
because
FEMA
regulations
require
that
we
have
a
competitively
bid.
Contract
passed
a
set
amount
of
time
for
an
emergency,
which
is
the
the
contract
we've
currently
been
operating
under.
W
So
the
reason
for
the
set
amount
is,
is
we
have
a
set
amount
of
work
that
will
be
required
and
most
of
it
will
be
for
the
tornado
work.
But
then
the
blanket
contract
will
allow
us
to
retain
them
for
longer-term
work,
which
is
something
that
FEMA
really
encourages
municipalities
to
do
ultimately
like.
If
we
had
Jacobs
as
well
as
a
debris,
removal
and
debris
compliance
contractor
on
board,
it
would
mean
the
next
time
we
have
a
major
disaster.
W
V
W
B
B
Z
W
Mean
it
isn't
not
to
exceed
amount,
and
the
reason
where
we're
going
in
that
direction
is
because
all
of
the
reimbursement
for
the
FEMA
activities
is
actually
it's
a
percent
reimbursement
we're
allowed
by
FEMA,
and
that
will
that
five
percent,
basically
of
the
total
damage,
damages
that
they
award
us
reimbursement
for.
On
top
of,
that,
can
be
used
for
costs
like
Jacobs
reimbursement
and
so
we're
doing
our
best
to
like
keep
the
levels
of
these
contracts
below
what
that
estimated
percentage
would
be.
So
there
won't
be
any
out-of-pocket
cost
to
the
city.
V
Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
most
of
that
was
covered.
I
was
going
to
go
down
the
FEMA
Road
for
just
a
moment
with
that.
But
I'll
circle
back
the
two
questions.
One
Justin
will
this
Jacob
will
have
any
role
in
their
resilience
study
that
we
funded
a
couple
weeks
ago.
That's
gonna
start
number,
one
question
number
two
might
be
for
Justin
Steinman,
and
that
is
there's
a
number
associated
to
the
services
that
Jacob
helps
us
get
FEMA
dollar-wise.
Do
you
know
what
that
number
is
I've
heard
it
once
before.
I
know
it's
pretty
substantial.
Z
Well,
gentlemen:
I
will
answer
your
first
question.
Stan
Tech
is
the
consultant
who
is
helping
with
the
result
you
who's
contracted
with
the
city
for
the
resilience
study,
so
Jacobs
engineering
is
not
a
part
of
that
unless
they
were
subcontracted
for
a
part
of
it,
but
and
I'm
not
familiar
with
that.
The
details
of
that
yet
and
I
will
ask
us
in
to
help
your
second
part.
W
W
V
U
Z
K
N
K
V
If
it's,
if
it's,
if
it's
the
desire,
the
council
I
appreciate
you
given
the
time,
but
I
could
make
it
happen
next
week.
If
you
want,
if
you,
if
you'd
like
to
wait
till
planning
and
zoning
on
the
7th,
that
would
give
a
little
bit
more
time
to
prepare
some
packets
for
you
and
email
them
to
you.
So
you
could
probably
have
some
advanced
presentations
and
not
ask
questions
on
the
fly
so
to
speak.
It
totally.
V
B
K
Shear
just
a
couple
of
things:
one
I
don't
need
it
today,
but
I'd
like
to
you
know,
depending
on
the
results,
so
tonight
Spode
I'd
like
to
begin
to
schedule,
something
as
it
relates
to
the
budget
amendments
and
things
like
that
to
begin
as
quickly
as
possible.
I'm
not
saying:
let's
not
do
that,
I'm,
just
saying
that
I
don't
well
I!
Won't!
Let
us
forget
about
that.
So
hopefully
we
will
figure
out
a
time
as
quickly
as
possible.
Next
well.
L
K
Relates
to
wearing
masks
outside,
not
sure
that
approach
is
right
for
Chattanooga
because
of
our
ability
to
enforce,
but
perhaps
we
could
do
something
that
encourages
businesses
to
help
us
with
that
effort,
because
we
are
still,
it
seems
to
be
maybe
we've
plateaued,
but
certain
things
we
seem
to
be
still
rising
certain
days.
We
seem
to
be
flat
tilling
and
as
long
as
we're
talking
about
certain
days,
I
guess
we're
all
over
the
board.
So
I
think
we
probably
won't
have
a
discussion
about
wearing
masks
and
oh.
B
F
B
T
Yes,
ma'am
last
week
you
adopted
rules
that
would
at
least
are
anyone
that
was
speaking
on
an
item
at
the
end
of
budget
to
not
exceed
one
hour
and
would
not
allow
anyone
to
have
more
than
two
minutes
per
item
to
get
the
most
opportunity
for
more
people
to
speak.
It
is
up
to
this
body
to
either
continue
that
rule
tonight
or
not
you.
You
have
that
right
as
a
time
place
and
manner
or
restrictions
so
that
y'all
can
get
home
at
some
point
in
the
evening.
T
Q
T
Q
That
we
cover
anything
related
to
the
county
like
the
education
assurance
Department.
All
of
those
things,
that's
not
under
the
City
Council.
So
how
do
we
address
that?
Because
at
that
and
I
get
it
we
should
be
directing?
You
know,
Councilwoman
made
a
great
speech
earlier
about
there
like.
We
should
be
looking
into
these
things,
however,
we're
not
the
legislative
bodies
of
those
things,
and
it
need
to
be
directed
sort
of
appropriate
government
that
handles
that.
