City Council Agenda Session 04-21-20
B
A
Call
to
order
our
Tuesday
April
21st
agenda
station
do
I.
Have
anyone
with
objections
to
the
minute?
If
not
the
improve
is
read
ordinances
on
final
reading.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
about
that?
I'm
good
at
district
4,
district,
4,
okay,
will
drop
down
to
6a
ordinances
on
first
reading.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
read
6
8,
please
under
legal
in.
A
D
Chair
I,
just
when
we
went
over
and
I
had
stated
at
6
o'clock,
I'll
be
moving
to
table
this
item.
As
we
and
I
see
council
person
burgers
hand
up
so
I
won't
use
her
wording,
but
I
I
see
some
things
in
it.
Where
I
question
in
the
direction
it
seems
to
have
us
headed
in
you
know,
I
would
like
to
see
us
table
it
and
try
to
do
a
better
job
of
figuring
out
where
we
want
to
go
with
it
and
with
that
I'll,
quit
and
you'll
know
her
to
council
person.
E
Thanks
so
much
I'll
be
brief.
I
I
agree
with
the
councilman
I
think,
although
very
well
intended.
It's
got
some
issues,
I
think
in
in
many
places
it's
begging
over
broad
there's
some
wording
that
that
I
would
change.
The
bottom
line
is.
My
question
is
more
one
of
process.
Mr.
chair,
and
that
is:
do
we
table
it
or
do
we
take
it
off
the
agenda.
A
E
E
F
E
F
E
F
I
believe
that
you
have
to
move
that
during
the
public
meeting,
which
is
scheduled
and
everyone
was
advised
to
come.
It
is
scheduled
for
the
six
o'clock
agenda
this
evening
and
it
was
on
the
agenda
last
week
as
notice
to
the
public
that
would
be
on
the
six
o'clock
agenda
for
this
evening.
So
I
believe
that
under
your
council
rules,
you
can
take
things
off
and
you
can
do
that
in
a
public
meeting.
I
believe
it
needs
to
be
done
tonight
does.
E
F
G
B
G
The
way
it
was
accessed,
shut
down
or
things
doesn't
have
don't
happen.
The
way
we
were
asked
to
do
so
I
think
we
do
need
to
figure
out
some
way
or
some
some
form
of
fashion,
to
implement
these
laws
or
these
rules,
but
I
think
it's
getting
to
be
discussed.
So
I
would
like
to
see
it
going
to
some
type
of
committee
to
be
discussed.
A
C
C
A
C
Authorizing
the
phidias,
with
a
grant
from
the
Department
of
Justice
office
programs,
they
simple
funding
2021
through
2023
managed
through
the
Family
Justice
Center,
with
the
cities
matching
funds
in
the
amount
of
ninety
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars
and
seventy
five
cents.
Birnam
are
not
to
exceed
four
hundred
and
sixty
three
thousand
seven
hundred
thirteen
dollars
and
seventy
five
cents.
A
D
F
H
Will
we
be
expecting
any
more
additional
funds
to
go
towards
the
Avondale
yfd
Center?
At
this
point,
cuz
we've
really
spent
over
the
allotted
budget
for
the
Avondale
Y
of
D
Center
and
I
mean
I.
Don't
want
to
continue
at
this
point.
They
keep
coming
back
asking
for
more
money
for
this
Recreation
Center.
We
need
to
figure
out.
H
You
know
the
person,
the
individuals
that
we
contracted
with
originally
stated
that
they
could
do
this
job
within
the
scope
of
work,
with
the
amount
of
money
and
we've
more
than
several
times
allocated
additional
funding
to
this
project.
Now
what
is
complete
this
project,
or
are
we
gonna,
need
more
additional
funds
moving
forward?
Okay,.
A
B
A
I
I
Again
in
the
community
and
came
through
the
council
as
part
of
requested
changes
and
other
other
changes
were
value.
Engineered
early
on
this
scope
of
the
site.
Work
has
been
value,
engineered
and
should
be
the
final
final
amount
of
work,
and
there
is
a
contingency
in
the
contract
as
well
to
cover
any
any
unforeseen
items
that
we
might
run
into
the
field.
H
So
what
additionally
needs
to
be
done
with
this
sunny?
It
appears
to
be
a
perfect
way
of
decent,
and
at
this
point
I
mean
we
need
to
start
looking
at
other
way
of
dissenters.
That's
clearly
been
poorly
kept
up
in
other
areas
to
make
sure
those
centers
are
up
to
par
because
more
than
half
owned.
Look
like
they're
condemnable
at
this
point,
so
I
mean
I.
Just
don't
see
after
this
me
voting
on
continuing
to
add
money
into
these.
Why
of
dissenters?
So
what
are
the
exact
needs
that
are
needed
needed
well.
I
This
includes
the
site
work
that
is
outside
of
the
building
and
it
also
includes
required
water
quality,
installments
and
the
general
grounds
of
the
of
the
facilities.
So
in
the
value
engineering,
it's
the
parking
lot
and
finishing
up
the
grounds
work,
including
water
quality
installations
for
stable
volumes.
J
Sir
Thank
You
chairman,
hey
Justin.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
an
incredible
job.
You
and
your
department
this
past
week
in
continuing
on.
We
all
owe
you
a
tremendous
amount
of
gratitude.
You
and
your
crew
public
works
simply
been
amazing.
Number
two
regarding
item
F
I
was
reading
that
and
it
came
to
mind.
Is
this
an
overage
of
the
original
amount?
Can
you
tell
me
what
the
what
the
original
budgeted
amount
was
and
is
this
a
I?
J
I
J
A
G
I
I
G
Of
the
money
that
was
allocated
or
export
and
the
process
of
the
building,
the
building
itself
came
from
when
constituents
had
whether
the
media
that
was
put
together
at
issues
with
some
of
the
construction
or
some
of
the
things
that
were
going
on
inside
the
building
where
they
came
from
the
seating
arrangements
of
things
of
that
nature.
Great
those.
A
A
A
Okay,
I
see
no
hands
at
this
time.
Okay,
at
this
time,
I'll
go
ahead
and
announce

C
C
H
Thanks
Thank
You
chair,
you
know
I,
just
really
don't
agree
with
this
like
doing
what
we're
going
through
right
now,
this
crisis
is
pandemic,
we're
saying
it
it's
an
emergency
to
help
businesses
stay
open,
we're
needing
help
making
sure
people
remain
in
their
homes
to
rental
assistance.
However,
we're
giving
two
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
for
a
citywide
parks
and
greenways
master
plan
like
is
this
an
immediate
need
that
we
need
to
appropriate
our
funding
to
like?
Can
this
money
be
allocated
to
something
else
right
now,
due
to
what
we're
going
through
right
now?
H
K
L
Well,
mr.
chair,
thank
you
for
having
me.
We
thank
you
for
that
that
question
Councilwoman
Coonrod.
This
is
an
item
that
we
have,
that
we
have
complaining
for
about
two
years,
I
think
and
this
length
was
funded
over
the
last
two
years
budgets.
We
have
finally
selected
the
consultant,
and
this
is
planning
for
all
of
our
city's
public
spaces.
It
guides
all
of
our
financial
decisions
over
the
next
several
budgets
and
helps
us
ensure
that
our
districts
are
all
equally
represented
and
that
everyone
knows
what
to
expect
from
from
our
greenways
and
parks.
L
H
On
that's
it
I
mean
I
still,
don't
agree
with
it.
I
think
the
funds
could
be
you
last
in
another
area,
like
we've
already
waited
two
years
to
get
a
master
plan,
I
mean
we
get.
We
can
wait
another
two
years
in
the
crisis
that
we're
in
right
now,
it's
it's
other
things
that
I
feel
like
that's
more
important,
important
right
now:
okay,.
C
Resolution
authorizes
with
the
permit
development
manage
and
allocation
of
nine
hundred
and
thirty,
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
thirty
dollars
from
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
awarded
under
the
coronavirus
aid
relief
and
Economic
Security
Act,
and
any
sub
allocations
from
the
state
of
Tennessee
that
may
be
awarded
to
the
city
under
the
same
program.
Come.
J
A
A
K
K
K
H
K
K
M
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
get
this
on
the
agenda
so
quickly
and
to
the
Chairman
and
our
department
chair
for
taking
time
to
talk
to
me
on
Friday,
so
that
we
could
I
could
give
you
a
good
overview
of
what
we're
going
to
be
doing.
As
has
been
said
before,
and
it's
obvious
to
everybody,
we
are
in
the
midst
of
of
crises.
M
Unfortunately,
they
have
converged
the
first
of
which
was
the
COBIT
19
virus,
and
there
are
many
folks
in
need
of
help
from
from
the
city
and
from
other
partners
in
the
city.
So
what
we
are
proposing
ECD
is
proposing
is
the
kovat
19
emergency
rental
and
utility
assistance
program.
Let
me
say
that
we
have
been
working
on
this
ever
since
the
crisis
presented
itself,
we
have
been
working
with
HUD
and
with
our
local
partners
to
come
up
with
this
program.
M
We're
very
happy
that
we've
gotten
it
to
this
point
very
happy
to
say
that
our
hood
representatives
and
hood
at
the
federal
level
has
kept
us
abreast
of
all
kinds
of
changes
that
are
coming
about.
In
fact
that
there
are
many
changes
that
have
been
coming
about
daily
and
luckily
all
of
those
have
been
to
the
good
of
the
citizens
of
Chattanooga.
So
what
we
are
doing
we
were
proposing
that
you
allow
us
to
do
is
to
create
this
program,
the
kovat
19
emergency
rental
and
utility
assistance
program.
M
It
is
designed
to
help
those
folks
who
have
been
who
have
lost
their
jobs,
been
furloughed
or
had
their
hours
reduced
because
of
the
economic
impact
of
over
the
systems
will
be
excused
and
be
for
up
to
three
months
that
is
kind
of
the
federal
limit
for
rent
assistance
with
these
funds.
So
we
are
proposing
that
we
be
allowed
to
manage
that
managed
to
program
with
those
guidelines.
M
That's
an
up
to
number,
not
everybody
will
get
three
months,
but
it
they're
eligible
for
up
to
three
months
and
the
funding
for
this,
and
this
is
pretty
critical.
The
funding
for
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
it
is
HUD
funding
that
we
already
have
so
its
previous
year's
allocations
that
we
stated
in
our
five-year
consolidated
plan
would
be
used
for
other
activities.
M
Obviously,
with
the
situation
we're
in
right
now,
this
is
more
more
dire
and
important
than
some
of
the
things
that
we
were
going
to
use
it
for
so
that's
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
we
currently
have.
We
also
have
an
additional
$250,000
from
Tennessee
Housing
Development
Agency
th
da
for
a
combined
amount
of
850.
M
M
Those
guidelines,
though,
certainly
necessary,
for
a
number
of
reasons,
are
an
impediment
to
our
ability
to
respond
quickly
to
folks
who
are
in
need
of
rent
and
utility
payments,
so
we're
very,
very
fortunate
to
have
had
our
partner,
Chattanooga
neighborhood
enterprise
agree
to
serve
as
the
agency
that
will
process
the
checks
for
us
so
see
any
will
be
floating
the
money.
They
were
write
checks
twice
a
week.
It's
the
plan.
At
the
moment
they
were
write,
checks
twice
a
week
to
landlords,
and
then
they
will
send
invoices
for
reimbursement
to
the
city.
M
So
we
have
the
money.
They
will
write
the
checks
and
send
us
an
invoice
and
we
will
reimburse
them
so
that
we
can
keep
the
process
going
recipients
for
the
HUD
money.
That's
the
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
can
have
incomes
up
to
eighty
percent
of
the
area
median
income.
You
will
see
those
numbers
in
you
in
the
packet
there
in
the
packet
that
I
sent
to
you
on
Friday,
the
thta
money
can
go
up
to
a
hundred
and
twenty
percent
of
the
area
median
income.
Those
numbers
are
in
the
packet
as
well.
M
All
right,
so
the
the
resolutions
you
have
before
you
are
really
required
by
hood
and
by
the
city
in
order
for
us
to
pivot,
with
the
uses
of
the
funds.
From
what
we
had
originally
told
hood
and
told
city
council,
we
were
going
to
be
using
the
money
for
so
the
first
one
is
the
$600,000
from
the
CDBG
money.
We
are
not
going
to
use
it
for
some
of
the
activities
we
had
originally
planned.
We
are
asking
for
permission
to
use
specifically
for
rent
and
utility
payments
for
folks
affected
by
coal
pit.
M
Okay,
the
third
one
is:
we
need
your
permission
to
expand
the
scope
of
work
with
CNE.
We
already
have
a
contract
with
CNE,
but
we
need
to
expressly
amend
the
contract
to
include
the
scope
of
work
and
then.
Finally,
this
is
some
really
good
news
in
this
answers.
Councilman,
let
first
questions.
We
have
been
notified
that
we
will
be
receiving
through
a
special
allocation
of
CDBG,
it's
coded
as
CDP
CDBG
CV
for
kovat
nine
hundred
thirty,
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
dollar
$930.
J
M
Good
question:
we
are
it
wasn't
you
may
or
may
not
know
this,
but
the
utilities
have
been.
The
utility
companies
have
been
fabulous
for
with
families,
who've
been
impacted
by
Kovac,
so
they
will
not
be
doing
disconnects
for
families
who
are
unable
to
pay
their
utility
bills,
but
those
bills
need
to
be
paid,
so
this
money
can
be
used
to
pay
some
portion.
In
some
cases,
the
entirety
of
whatever
the
the
utility
bills
have
been
during
the
time
that
the
utility
companies
did
not
disconnect.
M
K
A
H
M
H
M
H
M
Thank
you
so
much
for
mentioning
that,
because
I
want
to
state
how
closely
ECD
and
yfd
have
been
working,
particularly
Rachel,
Howard's
team
at
the
office
of
family
apartment.
They
have
been
amazing,
and
so
we
have
learned
how
their
money
performs
and
the
guidelines
for
their
money
and
we've
been
integrating
that
with
the
way
that
we
work.
We
have
been
able,
through
this
partnership
with
CNE,
to
get
money
out
to
the
landlords
and
utility
companies
much
more
quickly
than
yfd
is
able
to
do
just
because
of
the
nature
of
the
money
that
they
receive.
M
So
we
we
have
been
collaborating
on
that
and
also
I
think
equally
as
important
we've
been
collaborating
because
the
many
of
these
families
would
greatly
benefit
from
being
part
of
the
programs
offered
by
the
office
of
family
apartment
so
that
they
are
more
able
to
sustain
an
emergency.
Certainly
not
catastrophic,
like
the
kovat
virus,
but
sustain
an
emergency
in
the
future.
H
K
G
M
M
M
M
M
You're
gonna
have
to
pay
it
so
whether
they're
getting
the
money
from
the
state
Thank
You
chairman
Henderson
Jamison,
told
me
about
that
state
money
before
the
state
told
me
about
the
state
money,
so
they
can
use
the
blender
they
received
from
the
state.
They
could
use
the
money
they
received
from
the
federal
from
the
cares
Act
the
money
that
folks
started
getting
last
week
and
then
they
can
use
any
unemployment.
That
folks
will
have.
M
G
M
Thank
you
for
that.
If
they
will
go
to
Chattanooga
when
you
get
to
the
home
screen
on
the
right
hand,
side
you're,
gonna,
see
three
options.
The
second
one
I
think
it
reads:
workforce
and
small
business,
something
to
that
effect
when
they
click
on
that
it
will
take
them
to
a
very
short
form
that
allows
them
to
make
a
request
for
assistance,
and
then
one
of
my
staff
members
will
call
them
and,
as
I
said
before,
a
triage
them
to
see
exactly
what
they
need,
what
their
situation
is
and
what
they
may
be
eligible
for.
G
A
Miss
Williams-
and
you
touched
on
it-
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about
it
later
about
some
of
the
funds
that
we
were
redirecting
were
our
home
repair
funds,
and
we
had
a
group
scheduled
in
fact,
two
different
routes
scheduled
at
one
point
to
come
in
and
help
us
with
the
minor
home
repair
program
that
we
do
and
I
know.
One
of
the
groups
had
already
been
told
they
couldn't
come,
and
then
the
second
group
sent
me
an
email
yesterday,
I
think
saying
that
they
had
postponed
all
of
their
projects
until
next
year.
A
M
That
there's
a
question,
so
we
have
I
want
to
say
we
had
57
completed
applications
and
each
of
those
folks
will
be
receiving
a
phone
call
in
a
letter
from
us,
letting
us
know
that,
due
to
the
kovat
19
virus,
we
will
not
be
doing
home
repair
the
vast
majority
of
those
recipients,
as
you
know,
from
working
on
the
program
they're
seniors,
and
we
certainly
don't
want
to
put
them
at
risk.
Yeah.
A
M
H
K
Finish
up
with
this
presentation,
so
are
there
any
other
questions
related
to
miss
Williams?
Okay,
seeing
none?
Thank
you,
Miss
Williams,
great
presentation,
with
all
the
great
things
that
this
fund
is
gonna,
do
for
the
citizens
in
our
city.
So
with
that
being
said,
councilman
Coonrod,
you
have
the
floor.
Thank.
M
What
we're
what
we're
doing
operationally
is,
of
course
our
staff
can't
come
to
work,
so
our
code
is
forced
that
officers
our
own
inspectors,
they
start
their
days
and
they
go
into
the
field
and
then
the
work
that
they
typically
would
come
back
to
the
office
to
do
their
computer
work
they're
doing
that
from
home
or
in
their
there
are
vehicles,
we're
getting
ready
to
go
into
our
you
know
busy
season
because
the
spring,
but
by
and
large
we
we
haven't,
had
any
shift
in
the
way
we
do
what
we
do.
Okay,.
H
M
Was
I
had
the
same
situation?
I'll
say
who
wouldn't
be
embarrassing
if
I
got
a
citation,
because
my
grass
too
high
cuz,
my
guy,
can't
come
cut
my
grass,
so
we
are
in
discussions
about
that.
How
do
we
handle
that?
As
you
all
well
know
that
the
courts
are
closed,
but
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
how
we
do
that
you
know
and
still
have,
that
balance
of
public
safety
all
right.
Thank
you.
H
C
G
A
K
H
H
J
K
L
Thank
you
so
much
I
appreciate
your
allowing
me
to
take
a
few
moments
of
your
time
to
let
you
know
where,
where
we
are
now
last
Tuesday
on
earth
at
Carey
was
able
to
give
you
an
overview
of
where
we
were
at
that
point.
We've
had
a
few
more
days
of
work,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
fast
and
give
you
some
a
lot
of
information
and
happy
to
share
any
other
information
with
you
after
I'm
done
as
well.
L
They
have
told
us
that
that
usually
we
usually
hear
back
within
about
two
days
about
a
declaration,
so
hopefully
we
will.
We
will
hear
tomorrow
about
a
federal
declaration
for
our
disaster.
The
numbers
that
FEMA
reported
to
command
from
their
assessment
were
that
we
had
a
grand
total
of
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighteen
properties
that
were
damaged
of
those
two
hundred
and
fifty-four
were
destroyed.
L
549
received
minor
damage
and
1755
were
otherwise
affected.
More
than
sixty
thousand
residents
were
without
power.
As
a
result
of
this
storm,
EP
B
was
able
to
return
power
to
more
than
51,000
residents
in
just
a
few
days.
Time,
and
now
only
a
handful
of
homes
are
still
without
power.
Ep,
B,
internet
and
cable
connectivity
is
being
restored
with
infrastructure,
while
it's
being
rebuilt
now
and
just
I
have
to
tell
you
that
I,
you
may
hear
some
some
work
I'm
at
my
house,
working
from
home
and
I
am
NOT
in
the
affected
tornado
path.
L
I'm,
just
outside
of
it
on
Missionary,
Ridge
and
I,
have
was
out
without
power
until
just
really
yesterday
came
back
off
and
on
on
Saturday
night
and
parts
of
Sunday
and
the
roofers
are
here
now
on
the
house.
So
if
all
of
a
sudden,
you
start
hearing
a
lot
of
noise,
I
apologize
for
that,
but
that
is
the
time
that
we
are
all
living
in
right
now
for
the
damage
that
I
had
in
my
roof
and
the
leaks
that
occurred
here.
So
I
want
to
highlight
the
work
of
a
few
of
our
departments.
L
Every
single
one
of
our
departments
came
to
the
rescue
so
to
speak,
and
leaned
in
and
engaged
in
heavy
work
around
the
tornado
and
but
I
want
to
highlight
the
work
of
Public,
Works,
C,
dot,
police
and
fire
for
you,
Public
Works
that
crews
out
immediately
prioritizing
work
to
clear
roads.
They're
now
working
to
remove
debris
from
residential
properties
in
the
roadside
staff
are
also
working
to
repair
our
damaged
infrastructure
at
Heritage,
Park
heritage,
dog
park,
the
Heritage
House,
several
wastewater
pump
stations,
the
summit
landfill
and
the
summit
ball
field.
L
Last
week
and
throughout
this
week,
Public
Works
has
deployed
all
available
resources
to
those
areas
affected
by
the
tornado
and
clear
roads
and
begin
working
to
clear
debris
between
50
and
70.
Crews
have
been
working
every
day
in
the
area
throughout
the
week,
with
over
35
heavy
trucks
and
heavy
large
heavy
equipment
such
as
excavators
and
grapple
trucks,
along
with
chainsaw
crews
to
clear
the
roads.
Crews
are
now
transitioning
from
clearing
the
primary
roads
to
debris.
L
B
L
L
Today.
Public
Works
has
the
same
number
of
crews
out
and
they
are
continuing
the
work
that
they're
doing.
We
also
will
be
getting
an
emergency
you'll,
be
seeing
that
we've
submitted
emergency,
an
emergency
purchase
for
a
debris,
collection
agency
and
a
debris
monitoring
contract.
As
you
all
may
remember,
with
the
2011
tornadoes
you
have
monitoring
specialized
monitoring
that
goes
on
for
FEMA
FEMA
declarations.
L
We
used
all
of
our
available
inventory
of
traffic
signals
and
have
already
processed
an
emergency
new
purchase
for
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
replenish
our
supply.
How
many
signs
do
you
think
were
damaged?
Three
hundred
have
been
identified
so
far.
Mostly
at
this
point,
the
signs
have
just
been
inventoried
and
evaluated
and
not
replaced
yet
because,
of
course,
we're
allowing
other
other
crews
to
get
in
there
and
do
their
work
before
the
signs
were
done.
We
have
temporary
barricades
everywhere
throughout
the
area.
We
have
catalogued
that
we're
going
to
need
right
now.
L
It
looks
like
about
two
million
dollars
in
street
repair
in
the
affected
area,
not
just
necessarily
from
the
storm
or
anything
that
you
see
today,
but
the
overall
stress
of
the
event,
with
heavy
being
on
the
road
so
much
that
we'll
need
additional
repair
from
bridges
and
roads
and
any
other
roadway
roadway
repair
fire.
Let's
talk
about
fire.
Currently,
fire
is
situated
at
the
command
post
at
the
county
highway
department.
They
are
working
with
EPB,
the
Sheriff's
our
office
and
CPD
they're.
Well,
EPB
is
finishing
up
the
power
reconstruction
and
the
fiber-optic
infrastructure
leaks
instructions.
L
L
We
have
the
command
post.
This
second
command
post
will
be
looking
to
scale
back
operations
totally
as
soon
probably
as
Monday,
depending
on
the
progress
of
epd
EPB.
We
are
coordinating
with
Tennessee
American
water
and
Eastside
utilities.
We
have
33
fire
hydrants
that
have
been
affected
in
the
area.
24
are
still
covered
with
debris,
working
on
that
and
nine
are
damaged
and
need
replacements.
L
The
National
Guard
has
been
very
helpful
to
us
and
identifying
the
hydrant
locations
through
the
mapping
that
we
have,
but
helping
to
boots
on
the
ground,
go
and
find
them
and
clear
them
up
the
debris
that
is
covering
them.
We
are
also
coordinating
with
city
and
county
building
inspectors
to
have
homes
inspected
for
returning
power
and,
of
course,
we
have
prioritized
those
homes
where
there
are
medical
needs,
I'm,
just
a
you
know
when
I
talked
about
that
that
I
have
a
little
storm
damage
here
at
my
house
and
it
had
some
inconveniences.
L
L
On
the
night
of
the
tornado,
we
had
119
police
officers
sign
in
at
the
command
post
the
initial
command
post
that
we
set
up
immediately
afterwards
of
the
lausanne
gun
barrel.
Thank
you
to
the
Lowe's
for
allowing
us
to
take
over
their
store
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
their
parking
lot
and
set
up
a
command
post
for
four
hour.
For
us
to
coordinate
our
response.
L
Then
we
moved
to
Silverdale
Baptist
Church,
which
was
just
such
a
wonderful
place
for
us
to
have
as
a
command
post
for
the
entire
week.
Cpd
helped
coordinate
that
and
CPD
officers
began
to
work,
12-hour
shifts
to
assist
with
cleanup
traffic
control
and
security
in
the
impacted
areas
our
command
posts
were
made,
remained
in
that
facility.
Until
a
Friday
night
about
six
o'clock,
we
brought
that
down
and
then
moved
to
the
Hamilton
County
Highway
department,
as
we've
continued
to
ramp
down
our
response.
L
As
of
4/20
has
of
yesterday,
we
had
275
officers
of
the
Chattanooga
Police
Department,
who
had
been
working.
Various
12-hour
shifts
around-the-clock
to
assist
with
recovery
efforts.
That's
translated
into
more
than
700
12-hour
shifts
work
officers
with
that
number
continuing
to
grow
as
the
recovery
efforts
continue.
L
The
cadets
from
our
Academy
also
got
in
on
the
got
in
on
the
show
they
they
helped
with
the
residential
clean
up
working
volunteer
crews
and
they
helped
with
the
distribution
of
goods,
the
YMCA
and
speaking
of
the
YMCA,
the
Hamilton
Hamilton
Family
YMCA
came
through
for
us
as
well,
and
they
volunteered
to
be
the
volunteer
center
and
basically,
two
and
a
half
days.
The
city,
officially
processed
1752
volunteers,
people
of
Chattanooga
and
the
surrounding
area
all
came
out
to
help
our
neighbors
reality.
F
L
Pardon
me
for
my
dog
barking
she's
barking
up
there
roofers
and
we
sent
out
1208
volunteers
and
chainsaw
and
equipment
teams.
We
sent
out
466
volunteers
to
do
other
manual
labor,
like
helping
families,
gather
personal
items,
move
pack
clear
debris.
We
had
facility
operations,
volunteers,
assisting
with
checking
in
volunteers,
sorting
and
organizing
donated
items.
We
staffed
12
water,
food
pickup
locations
throughout
the
impacted
area
in
both
of
the
city
and
the
county.
We
loaded
supplies
hygiene
items,
food
and
delivered
those
out,
so
the
impacted,
neighborhoods
and
made
food
deliveries.
L
So
what
happens?
Next?
We
continue
to
help
with
recovery
for
the
long
term.
We'll
have
volunteer
efforts
continuing
for
the
next
couple
of
phases
of
the
recovery,
there's
several
local
nonprofits
faith-based
organizations
and
disaster
relief
agencies
who
already
mobilized
and
are
working
with
the
EOC
and
our
fire
and
police
crews
to
deploy
volunteers
and
to
continue
to
help
rebuild
the
community
and
during
this
transition
we
have
a
we've
activated.
It's
called
crisis
cleanup.
It's
a
service
that
works
similar
to
300.
People
in
need
of
assistance
can
call
a
number
and
I'll
get
that
number
out.
L
I
think
you've.
All
that
you
all
have
it,
but
I'll
give
it
out
again.
It
works
like
a
work
order
system.
You
call
in,
and
you
give
what
you
need
done.
The
cleanup
and
work
at
your
home
and
then
volunteer
groups
go
into
that
and
choose
the
work
order
based
on
their
group's
capacity,
take
ownership
other
of
it
in
the
system
and
complete
it
once
the
job
is
done.
L
So
that
number
is
eight
four,
four,
nine
six
five
one,
three
eight
six
and
the
Hamilton
County
YMCA
is
continuing
to
accept
donations
and
offering
curbside
pickup
for
families
in
need
of
supplies,
and
that
is
a
summary
sorry
I'm
so
long,
but
that
is
a
short
summary
actually
have
all
the
work
that
that
your
Chattanooga
city
employees
have
been
doing.
Oh.
G
J
You
chairman,
Mora
I,
cannot
thank
the
city,
the
city,
employees,
the
response,
the
continued
response,
I
tell
you
it's
taken
so
many
spokes
in
this
wheel.
We
have
made
so
much
progress
the
over
my
shoulder.
It
says
one
step
at
a
time:
East,
Brainerd
and
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
and
everybody
who
works
for
the
city
of
Chattanooga
has
is
making
those
steps
easier
and
I
cannot
thank
the
city.
Our
public
works.
J
Epb
I
was
on
the
ground
at
Hamilton
place
yesterday
for
several
hours,
just
trying
to
gauge
the
amount
of
work
going
on
everybody
has
been
I
mean
we
should
be
so
proud.
You
should
be
proud,
leading
a
team
of
remarkable
people
in
this
city
and
from
everybody
in
East
Brainerd
in
the
East
Hamilton
area.
God
bless
each
and
every
one
of
you,
because
it
has
been
amazing,
we'll
get
through
this
one
step
at
a
time
and
I'm.
J
Just
so,
I
cannot
tell
you
how
overwhelmed
that
is
to
see
in
the
midst
of
a
national
cry,
says
the
abundance
of
support
the
abundance.
I
mean
people
have
just
stepped
up
where
people
might
have
been
nervous.
Two
weeks
ago,
three
weeks
ago,
with
where
they
were
going
to
get
their
next
meal,
the
abundance
of
support
in
this
in
this
community
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga
and
Hamilton
County,
has
just
been
inspiring
and
I.
Think
everybody
on
your
team,
especially
I,
want
to
say
I
work
very
closely
with
Brook
and
Travis.
J
They
were
just
remarkable
working
out
of
the
YMCA
with
organization
and
I'm.
Just
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
given
a
special
mention,
because
I
tell
you
those
those
two
individuals
right.
There
also
stepped
up
and
helping
organize
volunteers.
So
more
from
my
heart
and
everybody
out
here,
thank
you.
You.
H
You
chair,
thank
you,
I,
just
mimic,
Ledford
and
I'm
tearing
out
now,
because
it
was
just
really
devastating.
What
I
saw
really
heartbreaking?
You
know
what
I
experienced
during
the
tornado
was
nothing
nothing,
nothing
compared
to
what
I
saw
in
each
brainer
and
then
they
hear
that
a
child
passed
away.
That
was
even
more
heartbreaking,
but
you
are
amazing,
you
you
know
you
stepped
up.
When
you
came
to
my
neighborhood
I
mean
people
were
still
in
good
spirits,
I'm,
trying
to
see
how
they
can
help
assist,
get
everything
done.
H
I
know
you
know,
I
got
several
calls
about.
You
know
people
feeling,
like
their
area
was
neglected
in
their
area,
wasn't
neglected.
You
know
they
can
only
get
to
those
areas
as
soon
as
they
could,
but
if
they
would
have
had
the
opportunity
to
see
the
lost
thing,
East
Brainerd
I
think
that
their
hearts
and
minds
would
have
felt
the
look
different.
We
have
people
who
don't
even
have
our
home.
You
know
me
like
even
myself
like
I'd
complain
and
you
know.
H
I
know:
I
bought
a
couple
of
people
on
staff,
because
I
didn't
have
any
lights.
I
couldn't
see.
Peyton
at
the
time,
I
was
very
frustrated,
and
but
the
next
day
when
I
was
and
I
couldn't
even
take
a
shower
I
had
to
go.
You
know,
didn't
even
know
what
what
I
was
gonna
do.
I
felt
like
I
was
on
losing,
but
when
I
saw
what
happened
and
each
brainer
I
couldn't
you
know
if
there
was
room
so
drop
to
my
knees?
At
that
moment,
it
was
just
that
heartbreaking.
H
You
know
my
heart
still
go
out
to
everybody
that
was
affected,
I
pray
for
you
guys
every
day.
Let
for
just
thankful
that
you
know
you
really
went
in
harm's
way.
Maura
know
you
all
came
to
the
rescue
like
the
police
department,
the
fire
department,
the
city
I
got
a
couple
of
city
workers.
They
live
on.
My
street,
like
I,
heard
them
rolling
out
like
right
after
the
tornado
was
hit,
and
it
was
just
amazing
to
see
the
people
come
together.
H
J
The
chairman
Henderson,
if
I
may
just
say
a
point
of
a
personal
note,
thank
you
for
coming
out
with
your
your
chainsaw
in
your
truck.
We
cleared
several
yards
worked
together,
side
by
side
and
I.
Tell
you
social
distancing,
of
course,
and
you
had
your
earplugs
in
all
day.
So
you
didn't
hear
me
yelling
at
you,
but
but
you
did
a
great
job
with
the
chainsaw
it
was.
It
was
nice
to
work,
alongside
of
you
in
a
different
fashion
and
I'll
I'll
pull
the
logs
and
tree
branches
any
day
for
you,
sir.
Well.
