City Council Agenda Session - 5/2/23

I'm
not
sure
about
this
afternoon,
Council
6A
was
at
the
fire
district
for
a
square
okay.
So
what
that
is
basically
doing
is
changing
the
code
on
the
builder
of
the
residential
Apartments
to
be
able
to
use
a
different
type
material
on
the
front
of
the
structure,
the
fire
code
or
the
fire
zone.
District
now
specifically
says
fire
has
to
be
used,
but
this
will
allow
them
to
be
able
to
use
a
different
type
material
on
the
front
of
the
structure.

I
Right
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
council
I
am
joined
today,
of
course,
by
Mr
Thomas
Johnson
from
chords
incorporated
as
well
as
Steve
Hyatt
from
the
Chattanooga
area.
Chamber
of
Commerce
I
wanted
to
give
a
quick
recap
of
the
pilot
that
we
presented
back
on
April
the
18th
and
then,
of
course,
in
the
commitment
and
spirit
of
the
administration's
desire
to
have
a
public
hearing.
We
had
asked
the
council
for
a
public
hearing
immediately
following
this.
I
I
The
potential
pilot
that
we're
looking
at
is
an
expansion
of
quartz,
in
which
200
new
jobs
would
be
created.
There
would
be
a
50
million
dollar
capital
investment,
which
includes
five
million
dollars
of
real
property
and
45
billion
dollars
in
personal
property
and
Equipment.
The
pilot
would
last
for
10
years,
and
the
pilot
only
applies
to
the
improvements
that
would
be
on
the
on
the
on
the
grounds
of
cordza
not
to
existing
property.
I
All
school
school
taxes
would
be
protected,
so
there
would
not
be
any
abatement
of
school
taxes
and
property
taxes
that
are
in
place
before
the
pilot
will
continue
to
go
to
the
general
fund,
just
as
a
reminder
as
a
commit.
The
company
committed
to
work
with
the
city
to
provide
additional
Greenway
access
for
a
future
Greenway.
The
company
is
also
committed
to
working
with
the
city
and
county
as
part
of
a
new
apprenticeship
initiative
called
build
Within.
I
The
company
will
also
make
best
faith
efforts
to
publicize
job
opportunities
to
attract
local
residents,
as
well
as
available
construction
opportunities
for
local
contractors
to
bid
on
their
work.
This
is
an
overview
of
the
cords
of
Campus.
So
to
your
right,
this
is
actually
sort
of
turned
sideways.
So
to
your
right,
the
long
road
going
vertically
is
North
access
road.
So
just
I
imagine
you
were
on
North
Access,
Road
sort
of
looking
into
the
site
and
sort
of
the
area
at
the
bottom.
I
Where
there
is
a
red
outline
is
property
that
is
owned
by
Rise
Partners
in
which
they
are
building
classy
industrial
space.
This
is
where
the
proposed
expansion
area
would
be
for
the
new
building
that
would
be
part
of
the
central
part
of
quartz's
expansion
and
so
just
to
sort
of
recap
the
timeline.
So
we
shared
this
with
you
back
on
April,
the
18th,
and
so
today
we
of
course
are
doing
a
public
hearing.
The
County
Commission
will
vote
tomorrow,
and
then
this
item
will
come
before
you
for
vote
next.
Tuesday
May,
the
9th.
H
K
Thank
you
chair.
So
this
is
a
expansive
site
and
as
I
look
at
the
overhead
views
of
the
site,
there's
there's
another.
That
shows
that
we
have
significant
amount
of
acreage
over
this
computer
screen
and
so
I'd
like
to
know
if
chords
would
be
open
to
donating
some
portion
of
the
Northern
end
of
the
site,
not
by
the
river,
but
the
opposite
end
of
the
site
that
abuts
Dupont,
Parkway
and
153
for
affordable
housing
use
for
the
city.
Why.
K
Now
I'll
add
just
a
little
bit
of
context
to
that
Mr
Johnson,
you
know
DuPont
when
it
came
in,
was
responsible
in
some
regard
for
quite
a
lot
of
housing
being
built
in
the
vicinity.
In
my
own
District
there's,
there's
essentially
a
Mill
Town,
a
Bagwell
city
was
built.
There,
we've
got
another
portion
of
Bagwell
City
adjacent
and
councilman
Smith's
portion
of
the
district,
which
will
become
District
Two,
and
it
feels
to
me
like
that.
Northern
Area
that
right
now
is
fully
treed,
might
be
a
good
area
for
a
little
bit
more
staff.
K
K
H
M
I'm
Janice
Gooden,
District,
8.
I,
saw
the
presentation
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
I
appreciate.
The
update
looks
like
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
this
ahead
of
time
and
I'm
pretty
much
impressed
by
the
jobs
that
will
be
coming:
High
wages,
local
hires,
consideration
for
justice
involved
individuals
and
all
the
collaboration
and
the
Partnerships,
so
I
am
supportive.
M
H
N
H
J
C
G
Call
the
order
budget
and
finance
committee
meeting.
The
purpose
of
this
meeting
is
to
kick
off
budget
considerations
for
for
next
year,
and
the
process
is
pretty
much.
What
it's
always
been
what's
going
to
happen
today
is
Administration
will
go
over
the
budget
for
the
next
year
at
a
high
level,
and
the
budget
itself
is
going
to
be
online
for
all
the
public
to
see
and
budget
notebooks
are
going
to
be
dispersed
to
council.
When
this
is
over.
What's
going
to
happen
beginning
next
week,
everything
will
be
transparent
above
board.
G
People
are
welcome
to
come,
however,
we're
going
to
be
streaming
all
of
those
meetings
that
particular
room
due
to
fire
code
has
a
certain
number
of
people
that
are
allotted
to
it
once
that
number
is
reached,
people
will
have
to
go
out
into
the
Hall,
so
we
strongly
suggest
because
it's
not
a
question
and
answer
period
for
the
public.
We
strongly
suggest
that
you
you
participate
by
streaming
once
your
Council
representatives
are
totally
informed.
G
As
will
you
be,
if
you
participate
in
the
streaming,
then
you
can
talk
with
your
Council
Representatives
about
your
feelings,
about
the
budget.
Your
thoughts
about
the
budget,
if
you
choose
not
to
do
that
at
the
end
of
all
the
education
sessions,
we'll
have
public
hearings
where
you
can
all
come
in
and
participate
where
required
by
law,
and
we
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say.
That
will
happen
at
the
end.
According
to
schedule
now
the
schedule
may
be
and
we
will
publicize
it.
G
If
you
can't
be
here
in
person
or
talk
to
your
representative,
and
they
will
take
care
of
you
accordingly
today
as
a
day
for
us
to
just
get
the
overview
of
the
budget
and
no
questions
per
se
just
the
overview
of
the
budget,
then
our
work
starts
diving
into
the
notebook
asking
questions
of
administration,
and
you
will
see
everything
that
happens
from
here
on
out
the
sessions
start
at
10
30
in
the
morning,
and
they
will
go
all
the
way
through
until
we
have
our
meetings
at
3,
30.
I
think
that's
pretty
clear.
G
If
you
have
any
other
questions,
please
let
me
know,
but
at
this
point
I'm
turning
over
the
budget,
the
presentation
excuse
me:
oh
I've,
just
been
told
that
we
have
to
approve
minutes
of
our
last
meeting.
I
have
no
idea
when
we
last
man
but
I'm
sure
everything
we
did
was
just
fine.
Okay,
thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
to
post
okay,
then
we
would
go
to
my
beautiful
speech
about
what
I
just
said
and
now
I
think
everybody
is
fully
informed
and
I'm
going
to
turn
the
process
over
to
the
mayor's
chief
of
staff.
G
E
Yes
good
afternoon
Council
and
thank
you
to
you,
madam
chair,
for
leading
this
budget
process.
We
are
pleased
to
present
our
fiscal
year
24
budget,
but
briefly
before
I
go
into
it
and
again,
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
the
time.
I
know
we
have
a
busy
agenda
session
and
committee
structure
today,
so
this
will
be
a
very
high
level
presentation.
E
We
are
going
to
have
ample
time
in
the
coming
weeks
to
review
the
budget
at
a
department
by
Department
basis,
but
I
do
want
to
briefly
review.
You
know
what
we
looked
at
last
year
in
the
the
previous
year
last
year,
we
formulated
a
bold
actionable
budget
for
implementing
the
one
Chattanooga
plan
and
we
fortunately
have
a
number
of
wins
to
show
for
it.
E
E
This
year
we
are
doubling
down
on
that
progress
and
we're
putting
forward
a
budget
that
continues
to
focus
on
the
things
that
matter
most
to
chattanoogans,
and
this
year
is
about
continuing
the
work
ahead,
with
a
focus
on
the
One
Chattanooga
plan,
as
it
has
been
since
the
beginning
of
this
Administration
again,
this
budget
focuses
our
priorities
and
doubles
down
on
one
Chattanooga.
That
means
historic
investments
in
a
robust,
Compensation
Plan
that
will
strengthen
our
city
and
attract
a
top-rate
Workforce,
and
that
looks
like
a
step
plan.
E
This
is
historic
and
I'm
going
to
let
my
colleague
Ryan
get
into
the
details
of
that.
This
is
something
that
our
employee
groups,
as
well
as
our
Workforce,
have
been
asking
for
for
some
time,
and
it
is
a
big
step
for
Chattanooga
to
be
able
to
attract
a
really
Stellar
team
of
public
servants.
We
also
in
this
budget
bolster
Public
Safety
and
infrastructure,
Investments,
hiring
firefighters,
launching
a
community
violence,
Intervention
Program.
E
We
had
a
great
meeting
about
that
today,
where
we'll
be
able
to
bring
on
folks
who
are
Justice
involved
to
help
stem
the
stem
gun
violence
in
our
community.
We
will
improve
and
renovate
our
parks
and
also
make
major
repairs
to
our
bridges,
and
we
again
will
continue
the
historic
level
of
investment
into
repaving
and
resurfacing
our
roads.
E
We
will
also
improve
Service
delivery
for
our
residents.
That
means
purchasing
new
garbage
trucks
and
hiring
additional
drivers,
and
we
will
bring
on
a
new
short-term
vacation
rental
inspectors,
because
I've
heard,
as
has
this
entire
Administration
about
how
important
enforcement
is
and
then
we
will
also
be
bringing
on
an
administrative
hearing
officer
and
we're
doing
all
of
this
and
more
without
proposing
a
tax
increase.
This
is
the
administration.
Thank
you.
E
E
There
were
some
significant
challenges
in
putting
this
budget
together
that
are
not
unique
to
our
city,
and
that
meant
that
this
budget
year
called
for
us
to
focus
and
streamline,
as
well
as
demonstrate
good
stewardship
of
taxpayer
dollars.
Some
of
those
challenges
look
like
rebuilding
a
post-pandemic
Workforce,
as
we
have
brought
on
additional
staff
from
where
we
were
in
the
pandemic.
That
meant
especially
whenever
you
consider.
E
In
our
first
year,
we
significantly
invested
in
the
pay
plan,
a
30
million
plus
dollar
investment
into
making
sure
that
we
were
competing
with
the
market.
Maintaining
those
improved
pay
scales
has
additional
costs
later
on
as
well,
and
that
also
meant
increasing
base
salaries
to
attract
qualified
civilian
candidates.
The
impact
of
inflation
has
obviously
affected
all
of
us.
This
is
something
that,
from
every
really
every
single
project,
from
labor
to
materials
to
construction,
we
have
seen
20
30
40.
In
some
cases
you
know
upwards
of
100
increases
in
some
materials
and
projects.
E
We
had
a
good
conversation
yesterday
with
councilwoman
Hill
about
some
sidewalk
projects
that
came
in
way
way
above
where
we
anticipated
them
to
be,
and
this
is
just
the
market
that
we
happen
to
be
in,
and
so
we've
had
to
adjust.
Our
budget,
just
like
every
chattanoogan,
has
had
to
adjust
their
budget
as
well,
and
then
we've
also
had
to
address
a
range
of
deferred
maintenance
items,
our
our
roads
and
bridges
our
primary
priorities
for
this
Administration.
E
We
we
are
committed
to
making
sure
the
city
has
good
infrastructure
and,
as
we
make
progress
on
everything
from
roads
to
parks
and
pools
and
community
centers,
we
know
that
those
Capital
Investments
were
going
to
come
in.
You
know
at
a
higher
level
than
we
would
have
expected
just
a
few
years
ago,
but
we
can't
afford
to
fall
behind
any
further,
so
I'm
just
going
to
quickly
run
through
some
of
the
key
Investments
that
we
are
making
this
year
and
I'll
start
with
affordable
housing.
E
This
is
one
of
the
most
important
issues
to
chattanoogans,
and
that's
it's
one
of
the
most
important
issues
to
Mayor
Kelly.
We
are
deploying
three
million
dollars
of
federal
funds
to
create
or
preserve
over
400
additional
units
of
affordable
housing
over
the
next
year.
I'm
optimistic,
it
will
be
more,
but
we
can
conservatively
say
400
more
units
of
affordable
housing
will
be
added
thanks
to
the
Investments
that
we're
making
in
this
budget.
E
Additionally,
we're
going
to
be
working,
as
you
know,
with
a
nationally
set
of
renowned
Consultants
or
a
set
of
nationally
renowned
Consultants
to
really
determine
housing
needs
across
the
city,
and
those
studies
are
set
to
come
out
here
in
the
summertime.
We
are
building
out
a
policy
toolbox,
it's
incentivize
developers
and
landlords
to
build
and
rent
affordable
units
in
the
neighborhoods
that
need
it
most.
E
We
are
going
to
continue
to
double
down
on
our
progress
on
homelessness
reduction.
We
have
made
significant
investments
into
the
Chattanooga
Regional
Homeless
Coalition,
our
key
partner
in
the
work
820
000
for
the
Coalition,
which
is
then
invested
in
a
whole
range
of
service
providers.
We
have
seen
this
Administration
house
over
2
000
people
over
the
course
of
this
Administration
just
a
thousand
last
year.
If
we
want
to
continue
to
see
significant
progress
on
this
issue,
we
know
that
we
need
to
maintain
this
level
of
investment.
E
These
Investments
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
every
single
one
of
them,
but
under
the
Coalition
will
support
a
number
of
services.
Additionally,
we
are
going
to
continue
to
support
ongoing
project
management
oversight
of
the
conversion
of
airport
in
to
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
but
also
we
have
another
permanent
Supportive
Housing
project,
hopefully
coming
online
on
Main
Street
and
with
the
Espero
and
aim
Center
project
under
roads
in
critical
infrastructure.
E
We
have
set
aside
187
million
dollars
for
roads
and
critical
infrastructure,
and
this
does
include
storm
water,
but
that
means
10
million
dollars
for
Paving,
which
is
again
a
historic
number
that
has
been
sustained
in
this
Administration.
This
is
part
of
a
40
million
dollar
commitment
over
four
years
for
repaving
roads.
We
also
have
4.1
million
dollars
set
aside
for
other
red
related
work
and
sidewalks,
and
then
another
big
addition
in
this
budget
is
the
investment
into
our
local
Bridges.
E
Both
the
Wilcox
Bridge,
which
we
received
a
significant
amount
of
money
from
the
federal
government,
and
we
received
a
raised
grant
for
25
million
dollars,
which
required
a
match
and
then
also
we
will
be
renovating
the
Walnut
Street
bridge,
and
then
we
have
also
through
with
the
alone
and
other
financing
sources.
We
will
be
investing
142
million
dollars
in
various
Wastewater
projects
and
11
million
dollars
for
stormwater
projects,
and
this
is
is
a
part
of
our
consent
decree.
E
We
are
going
to
continue
the
work
around
investing
in
the
strategies
that
we
know
work
to
increase,
Public
Safety
part
of
this
means
making
sure
that
our
Police
Department
is
well
funded
and
that
we
have
a
a
strong
police
department,
but
it
also
means
getting
creative
and
Innovative
with
the
work.
So
that
means
continuing
our
funding
for
our
crisis
response
unit
and
victims
advocate
Center
with
with
the
Chattanooga
police
department.
E
It
also
means
launching
a
community
violence,
Intervention
Program,
where
non-law
enforcement
folks
are
going
to
be
working
to
stop
violence
before
it
happens,
working
closely
with
our
Police
Department.
We
are
also
allocating
1.5
million
dollars
towards
a
new
fire
training
tower
for
those
of
you
who
have
participated
in
fire
Ops
and
dragged
yourself
through
that
burning
Tower
as
I
know,
many
of
you
have
that
that
Tower
is
is
nearing
the
end
of
its
useful
life
and
I
know.
E
We
are
also
going
to
be
adding
nine
new
firefighter
positions
and
adding
4.5
million
dollars
for
five
new
fire
trucks,
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
our
ISO
rating
and
support
the
growth
in
this
city
and
ensure
that
we
have
the
fire
coverage.
We
need
to
to
be
a
a
safe
City,
we're
going
to
continue
to
invest
in
parts
and
green
spaces.
We've
got
more
coming
up
on
this.
E
We've
got
1.6
million
dollars
set
aside
for
new
parks,
including
Province,
Lynbrook
and
schoolyard,
and
that
also
includes
one
million
dollars
to
renovate
our
skate
park,
which
I
believe
has
been
a
topic
of
conversation
across
multiple
administrations.
This
skate
park
has
fallen
into
a
state
of
disrepair.
This
is
about
making
sure
that
a
key
asset
that
a
lot
of
people
enjoy
in
our
community
is
maintained
and
doesn't
continue
to
pose
a
safety
risk.
Additionally,
we
have
400
000
set
aside
for
Park
improvements
in
neighborhood
parks
that
need
it.
E
Mayor
Kelly
said
from
the
beginning
of
his
administration.
That
early
learning
is
one
of
the
top
priorities,
because
this
is
where
of
his
administration,
because
this
is
where
it
all
begins,
and
so
that's
why
we
have
deployed
Federal
ARP
dollars
to
build
out
a
pipeline
of
early
learning
professionals
throughout
the
one
Chattanooga
through
the
one
Chattanooga
Institute
for
early
care
and
learning.
E
This
is
a
really
exciting,
triple
bottom
line,
win
to
make
sure
that
we
are
expanding
the
number
of
seats,
we're
expanding
the
number
of
opportunities
for
folks
to
enter
the
workforce
at
a
good
paying
job
and
then
also
we're
creating
the
workforce
that
will
allow
young
families
to
go
back
to
work
and
have
access
to
child
care.
So
this
is
a
critical
win
for
the
administration.
We
are
also
proposing
a
600
and
sorry
765
000
in
supplemental
funding
for
Head
Start
teacher
salaries.
E
This
is
something
that
we
began
last
year,
and
this
is
the
first
time
in
City
history
last
year
that
we
supplemented
Head
Start
salaries.
This
is
something
that
we
worked
closely
with
our
employee
groups
on
and
we
are
proud
to
do
because
our
Head
Start
teachers
play
an
extremely
important
role
in
our
community.
In
supporting
a
vital
public
service,
and
so
as
we
invest
in
a
competitive
Workforce,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
grant
funded
Head
Start
teachers
were
included
too.
E
Finally,
we're
adding
a
new
community
forward
school
coordinator
to
help
ensure
that
Hamilton,
County
Schools
students
and
families
are
getting
the
wraparound
Support
Services.
They
need
in
economic
and
Workforce
Development,
as
we
have
added
over
500
good-paying
jobs.
We're
going
to
keep
that
momentum
going.
We
are
expanding
a
and
increasing
a
paid
apprenticeship
opportunities
in
the
city,
both
with
Apprentice
apprenticeship,
Readiness
programs,
as
well
as
expanding
the
build
within
apprenticeship
program.
E
Again,
this
budget
year
is
exciting
and
we
do
have
a
lot
of
important
Investments
that
are
going
to
move
our
city
forward.
But
at
the
same
time
we
have
in
order
to
to
cover
these
Investments
needed
to
focus
and
streamline,
and
so
you're
going
to
hear
from
my
colleague,
Ryan
ewalt,
our
chief
operating
officer
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
realignments
and
decisions
that
we
made
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
were
stewarding.
These
tax
dollars
wisely.
So
Ryan
I
will
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you.
O
O
I
did
want
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
on
how
this
budget
again,
we
we
did
have
to
focus
on
streamlining
and
demonstrating
good
stewardship
of
our
tax
dollars,
and
so
one
specific
way
that
we
are
doing
that
we
did.
We
went
through
Department
by
department,
but
we
wanted
to
highlight
for
y'all
this
evening,
specifically
around
Community
Development
and
the
restructuring
that
we
are
doing
there
to
help
our
Department
of
Community,
Development
Focus
solely
on
community
centers
and
services
there
and
doing
so.
O
Our
neighborhood
services
team
will
join
the
department
of
equity
and
Community
engagement.
Our
code
enforcement
team
will
join
the
Land
Development
Office
and
join
our
building
inspectors
over
there
that
do
permitting
once
again
joining
forces.
Under,
One,
Roof,
metaphorically
speaking
and
I'll
mention
that
financially
our
homelessness
and
Supportive
Housing
group
will
be
joining
our
Economic
Development
and
affordable
housing
department.
So
the
office
of
family
empowerment
will
continue
to
be
in
Community
Development
and
we've
seen
good
efforts
there.
O
As
that
works
gotten
integrated
more
into
our
community
centers,
so
we're
excited
about
that
sharpening
focus
in
Community
Development
and
as
we
do,
that
we'll
continue
to
redefine
our
community
centers
as
neighborhood
hubs
and
focus
new
programming,
skills-based
training
and
health
screening
for
all
ages
and
stages
there
going
further
in
terms
of
a
pay
plan.
Joe
to
mentioned
this
I
wanted
to
go
a
little
bit
deeper
here
for
our
team
members
as
well
that
are
listening
and
will
listen.
O
We
have
heard
the
feedback
from
our
team
members.
Specifically
in
the
engagement
survey.
Last
fall.
There
were
two
bits
of
feedback,
one
was
around
compensation
and
you
know
thinking
that
it
could
be
better
and
the
other
was
around
performance
and
making
sure
that
we
are
rewarding
people
for
their
performance,
and
so
we've
listened
to
that
feedback.
And
accordingly,
we
are
implementing
something.
O
What
that
means
specifically
for
our
hourly
employees
is
that
they
will
receive
credit
for
years
of
service
and
for
many
of
them
over
two-thirds
of
them.
That
will
mean
more
than
a
four
percent
pay
increase
with
the
implementation
of
this
paid
plan,
so
more
than
what
I
would
call
a
typical
cost
of
living
increase
for
our
salary
employees.
O
They
will
not
be
placed
based
on
years
of
service,
but
they
will
move
up.
Two
steps,
which
is
about
a
two
percent
cost
of
living
increase
and
I
want
to
go
forward
basis.
There
will
be
a
performance
component
to
this
step
plan,
which
I
think
is
important
to
highlight.
So
that
means
our
good
employees
can
expect
certain
progression
through
our
pay
plan.
O
That
could
be
more
than
one
step
and
I
think
that
that
is
important
and
I
also
want
to
mention
that
our
sworn
employees
and
our
Wastewater
employees
will
be
receiving
their
regularly
scheduled
step
increases
that
is
included
in
the
proposed
budget,
some
other
things
around
responsive
and
Effective
Government.
Here
that
we
wanted
to
highlight,
we
are
focused
on
placing
again
taxpayer
dollars
where
we
feel
like
it
is
most
warranted,
and
some
of
this
is
also
based
on
feedback
from
each
of
you
and
it's
from
city
council
around.
How
do
we
improve
Service
delivery?
O
So
we
will
be
hiring
two
new
stvr
inspectors,
the
aho
administrative
hearing
officer
that
we've
all
talked
about
in
addition
for
new
garbage
truck
drivers.
You
know
that's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
so
that
will
really
help
alleviate
the
overtime
situation
that
we
have
in
garbage,
as
well
as
pulling
people
from
other
sections
to
drive
garbage.
So
we're
excited
about
that
and
seven
new
garbage
and
recycling
trucks.
That's
huge
because
our
Fleet
continuously
breaks
down.
We
haven't
invested
enough
there
so
excited
about
that
wanted
to
highlight
this
new
cost
savings
incentive
program.
O
So
this
would
be
a
program
where
employees
who
have
cost
savings.
Ideas
can
be
rewarded
for
those
ideas
that
get
implemented
and
save
the
city
and
taxpayers
money.
So
look
for
more
information
over
our
detailed
sessions,
but
excited
about
that
one.
That's
based
on
best
practices
from
around
the
country
and
was
an
idea
from
one
of
our
employees
actually
so,
and
the
last
one
I'll
mention
here
is:
we
will
continue
to
do
work
to
modernize
using
technology
and
Digital
Services
for
our
residents.
O
O
How
can
the
tax
dollars
be
put
to
the
best
use
and
in
some
cases
we
found
situations
where
there
were
redundant
positions
where
there
were
opportunities
to
streamline,
and
so
it
was
a
very
thoughtful
deliberative
process
and
through
that
process
we
have
identified
29
positions
where
we
feel
the
need
to
reduce
those
positions,
and
so
this
budget
submission
does
reflect
a
net
reduction
of
29
positions.
15
vacant
14
filled
of
the
14
field,
eight
are
full-time
and
six
are
part-time
positions.
That's
across
six
different
departments.
O
These
were
very
hard
decisions
to
be
made,
but
we
do
feel
that
these
are
the
best
interests
of
the
taxpayer
and
we
do
feel
that
these
are
prudent
decisions
and
again,
as
we
look
at
this
budget
and
totality,
we
feel
that
we
are
reallocating
these
dollars
in
ways
to
advance
the
one
Chattanooga
Mission
and
priorities
as
best
we
can.
So
when
we
go
deeper
into
some
other
examples
of
cost
savings.
O
Again.
These
are
just
a
few
examples
that
we
picked
out
to
share
with
y'all
from
various
departments.
You
can
see
here
some
activity.
Our
I.T
department
does
a
great
job
of
looking
for
redundancy
and
streamlining
opportunities
where
certain
departments
might
be
able
to
share
a
certain
software
and
gain
some
efficiency
from
that.
So
you
can
see
that
around
some
time
clock
licenses
that
has
sixty
eight
thousand
dollars
of
savings
a
year,
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
savings
through
the
end
of
the
contract,
fantastic
savings
there
we
are
constantly
looking
at.
O
How
can
we
bring
work
in-house
or
contract
it
out
depending
on
the
situation,
and
how
can
that
save
money
for
the
taxpayer?
In
this
case,
a
con
custodial
contract
was
costing
us
too
much
money
by
Outsourcing
it,
and
so
we
actually
brought
it
in-house
and
that
will
save
us
money
by
bringing
that
in-house
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
annually.
O
O
So
just
a
few
examples
here
that
we
wanted
to
share
with
you
all
Ellis
calls
these
couch
cushion
examples,
but
I
think
it's
just
important
to
to
show
that
again
this
budget
year,
as
Joe
had
mentioned
I
mentioned,
we
really
have
gone
Department
by
Department
division
by
division
team
by
team
to
see
where
can
we
find
savings?
Where
can
we
reallocate
dollars
so
that
our
taxpayers
and
our
residents
of
Chattanooga
can
get
the
biggest
bang
for
their
buck
with
that?
Judah
wants
to
add
something?
Yes,.
E
I
just
wanted
to
I
know
we
are
running
up
against
our
415
deadline
and
I
know.
We
also
have
budget
education
sessions.
Where
we're
going
to
be
able
to
dive
into
these
details.
So
I
we
do
have
a
section
that
I'm
not
going
to
go
through.
It
is
in
your
packet,
where
you
are
going
to
be
able
to
run
through
our
revenues,
our
Revenue
sources.
F
G
Is
that
it?
Yes,
it
is
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Vicky
I
was
getting
ready
to
do
that
and
also
to
thank
you.
A
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
all
of
this
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
you,
guys
and
and
you've
worked
very
hard
with
that
Madam
chair.
We
present
the
overview
and
beginning
next
week.
We
will
start
the
Deep
dive
into
the
education
session
at
that
time.
We'll
handle
whatever
questions
are
necessary
and
I
will
call
this
meeting
to
an
end.
G
P
Okay,
I
got
a
little
Deja
Vu
here.
This
is
familiar
a
little
bit
good
afternoon.
Everyone
Welcome
to
our
planning
and
zoning
committee
meeting
today.
I
will
take
a
motion
on
the
minutes.
Please
thank
you.
Minutes
we'll
stand
without
objection.
Miss
renick
Council
in
your
packet.
It
is
4
20..
We
have
seven
cases
with
opposition
Karen
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
at
any
time,
please
seven
cases
with
opposition.
We
do
have
a
short-term
vacation
rental
presentation.
That's
why
Mr
Anderson
Mr
Anderson!
Are
you
okay
to
let
us
get
through
our
cases?
P
So
what
we're
going
to
do
next,
if
Council
will
oblige
me
is
look
at
the
cases
you
have
a
packet.
Thank
you
for
staff,
getting
that
to
our
desk
with
the
opposition
that
is
noted
by
Planning,
Commission
and
RPA,
and
if
you
would
please
let
me
know
what
cases
you
would
like
to
discuss
and
we'll
take
those
seven
first
councilman
Henderson
and
Dr
Bruce,
just
a
second.
G
P
G
G
P
N
P
I
P
Any
other
council
member
have
cases
that
have
noted
opposition.
You
would
like
to
hear
more
in
depth,
if
not
I'm,
going
to
ask
Miss
renick
to
kind
of
touch
on
the
cases
that
did
have
opposition,
and
then
we
will
go
from
there
as
to
the
other
cases
that
came
through
Planning
Commission
without
opposition
Miss
renick
I
am
seeing
no
other
comments
or
questions
from
Council
on
cases
receiving
opposition
at
Planning
Commission.
So
can
we
pick
up
with
k0054?
Yes,.
R
Now
communicate
with
the
applicants
of
the
cases
that
got
deferred.
Thank
you
and
just
let
them
contact
Council,
lemon
and
Burris.
For
the
last
two
so
case,
54
did
have
opposition.
We
had
an
email
in
opposition
to
this
case.
Property
is
located
at
1204,
1208,
1214,
1216,
East,
35th
Street
place
and
then
the
1200
block
of
East
35th
Street
place.
It's
a
request:
rezoned
from
R2
and
R5
to
M1,
manufacturing
Zone
and
the
applicant
prose
proposed
some
conditions,
and
it's
for
the
expansion
of
production
of
an
existing
manufacturing
facility
at
the
location.
R
The
existing
business
is
Steward,
Advanced
Materials
and
it's
the
large
building
shown
there
south
of
the
rezoning
side
in
purple
and
that
purple
zones
that
M1
manufacturing
Zone
and
the
proposals
to
extend
the
M1
Zone
north,
the
East
35th
Street
place,
with
the
exception
of
that
one
piece
that
doesn't
have
the
red
line
about
around
it.
So
that
is
not
part
of
the
zoning
case,
but
you'll
will
see
conditions
do
pick
up
protection
and
buffering
of
that
of
that
property.
R
The
development
forum
north
of
the
site
is
predominantly
Urban
single
unit,
residential
lots
and
the
area
that
fronts
along
East,
38th
Street
is
predominantly
warehousing,
wholesaling
truck
loading
and
that's
reflective
of
the
existing
M1
Zone.
The
site
is
in
the
Rossville
Boulevard
community
plan,
which
recommends
medium
density
residential.
That
is
an
older
plan
from
2004
and
the
plane
recommendation
is
single
family
dwellings,
Town
Homes
patio
homes
and
a
mix
of
residential
units
So.
The
plan
does
not
support
the
expansion
of
manufacturing
to
the
to
the
north
along
this
location.
R
The
site
does
a
but
the
plan
recommendation
for
heavy
industrial
and
that's
probably
reflective
of
the
existing
zoning
on
the
ground.
We
did
know
that,
looking
back
at
aerial
photography,
you'll
note
that
there
is
not
much
residential
development
in
a
site
where
the
industrial
manufacturer
wants
to
expand,
and
we
did
note
that
some
addition
of
at
least
four
residences
that
appear
had
been
moved
or
demoed
since
2010
So,
the
plan
was
developed
in
2004.
It's
really
looking
at
residential
development.
R
So
staff
noted
then
proposal
is
not
compatible
with
the
plan,
but
the
majority
of
the
site
is
now
vacant
and
the
proposal
is
an
extension
of
an
existing
Zone
and
use
in
the
area.
Proposal
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
manufacturing
uses
and
staff
recommended
conditions,
approval
with
conditions
related
to
height,
use
and
buffering
to
ensure
compatibility.
There
is
no
opposition
present.
We
did
receive
an
email
regarding
against
from
Neighbors
regarding
concerns
and
property
value.
Planning
Commission
found
the
request
is
compatible,
recommending
approving
the
M1
Zone,
with
the
conditions
shown
on
your
screen.
A
P
G
R
Next
case
of
the
head,
opposition
is
H
on
your
agenda,
which
is
case
38.,
and
this
is
a
request.
Reason:
property
in
the
1700
block
of
Mulberry
Street
from
R2
to
Urban,
General,
commercial
Zone,
the
applicant
provided
some
conditions
and
they're
proposing
a
six
unit
structure
and
the
location
is
about
two
blocks:
Southwest
of
East
Side
Elementary.
Just
don't
worry
at
you.
R
The
surrounding
land
uses
include
vacant,
Lots,
duplexes
and
single
family,
residential,
historic
River
to
Ridge
area.
Three
historic
River
to
Ridge
plan
recommends
Urban
residential
Place
type
and
that
designation
is
intended
to
act
as
a
transition
between
single
family
and
Commercial
uses
doesn't
specifically
suggest.
Townhomes
is
a
residential
form,
but
it
does
know
that
a
range
of
housing
types
from
single
family
to
Scott,
to
small
to
moderate
scale
multi-family
are
appropriate.
R
So
the
developing
surrounding
form
is
kind
of
a
mix
there,
but
usually
pretty
traditional
Urban
Lots.
So
staff
found
their
quest
with
conditions.
Is
compatible
with
the
plan
and
has
a
recommendation
to
approve
with
four
conditions,
which
were
also
the
same
as
those
I'm
carried
over
and
recommended
by
Planning
Commission,
which
is
residential
use.
Only
maximum
of
six
units
access
shall
be
located
from
the
alley
and
maximum
Building
height
of
three
stories,
and
these
conditions
are
pretty
pretty
standard
from
the
ugc
conditions
for
urban
residential
infill.
R
R
R
So
this
is
noted
as
having
opposition.
We
had
a
very
long
Planning
Commission
meeting,
and
this
gentleman
spoke
up
early
that
he
had
opposition
this
case,
but
several
hours
into
Planning
Commission
did
not
was
no
longer
there
to
speak
to
it.
So
I'll
move
through
it
briefly,
because
I'm
not
sure
what
the
concerns
would
be.
This
is
a
rezoning
in
Fort
Wood
to
reason
from
R3
to
R4
for
an
architect's
office
or
professional
office.
R
There's
a
mix
of
residential
mix
of
residential
uses
in
the
area
and
Fort
Wood
has
various
other
Air
Force
specials
on
site
with
small
office
uses
within
the
neighborhood,
so
it's
surrounded
by
a
single
unit,
multi-unit
residential
and
then
Macaulay
Avenues
to
the
south
of
the
site,
with
this
mix
of
commercial
and
institutional
uses.
So
the
site's
located
in
the
downtown
plan
and
the
downtown
plan
doesn't
give
a
lot
of
specific
parcel
guidance.
But
it
does
talk
about
great
downtowns
and
it
talks
about
a
mix
of
uses
that
support
residents
in
the
area.
P
R
There
was
definitely
something
some
concerns
and
some
stipulations
they
wanted
to
play
for
that,
but
I'm
going
to
check
that
with
the
neighborhood.
Okay
president,
to
make
sure
this
is
the
same
problem,
okay
and
we
can
double
check
those
conditions
of.
What's
on
the
what's
been
recommended
on
on
the
ordinance.
Thank.
P
P
R
P
K
A
P
R
Number
57,
which
is
L
on
your
agenda,
is
at
South
Greenwood,
rezoning
from
R1
to
ugc
to
develop
a
six
unit,
residential
development
and
the
slides
are
pretty
zoomed
in
so
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see
to
orient.
This
is
one
block
off
South
holtzclaw
at
Bennett
in
Greenwood,
and
it's
that
that
corner
lot
that's
got
the
little
kind
of
the
arrow
on
there,
and
so
one
of
the
the
comment
or
the
person
in
opposition
at
Planning
Commission
was
just
speaking
to
the
amount
of
development
in
the
area.
R
So
I
tried
to
do
a
slide,
so
you
can
see
the
Lucy
quarter,
development
and
the
housing
along
South,
Greenwood
Avenue
to
the
north,
so
I'm
zooming
in
a
little
bit.
The
surrounding
land
uses
are
single
unit.
Residential
vacant
land
made
some
manufacturing
and
wholesale
along
South
holtzclaw,
and
then
that
future
Lucy
quarter
mixed
use.
Developments
to
the
north,
so
staff
found
the
proposals
compatible
with
the
river
to
Ridge
planets
surrounding
uses.
The
site
meets
some
secondary
use
criteria.
R
Q
P
P
R
My
observation
is:
there's
two
types
of
ugc:
there's
the
urban
infill
which
we
have
been
getting
a
lot
of,
and
those
are
conditioned
close
to
two
and
a
half
three
stories,
and
that
is
because
they're
infill
they're
on
quarters
they're
transitional
but
they're
kind
of
a
lot
of
those
are
on
those
traditional
Urban
Lots.
You
get
a
four
Plex
or
a
six-plex.
So
yes,
you're
right
on
those
we're
not
seeing
that
five
story,
we
have
had
some
larger
developments,
I
think
there's.
We
had
to
run
recently
on
South
Broad.
R
P
Wondering
as
we
move
forward
with
the
zoning
changes
and
Mr
Anderson's,
going
to
look
up
in
just
a
second
at
me
on
this,
one
is
if
we
reserve
that
that
probably
four
specific
areas
as
we're
seeing
those
conditions
come
through
regularly
and
actually
having
that
as
a
so
that
staff
and
the
public
can
can
realize,
what's
in
there
and
know
that
that
tool
is
limited
automatically.
It's
just
a
trend
that
I've
noticed
across
the
board
and
I
think
something
we'll
probably
talk
about.
As
we
move
on
into
the
new
zoning
code,
we.
P
Forward
to
the
conversation,
okay,
any
other
cases
Council,
you
would
like
to
cover
that
covers
our
cases
with
opposition.
This
afternoon
we
obviously
will
have
a
public
hearing
and
a
first
reading
if
they
are
not
a
deferred
item
next
week,
so
they
will
be
read
into
the
record
share
anything
else.
You
would
like
to
add
before
we
turn
it
over
to
Mr
Anderson
I'll.
R
Note,
since
you
gave
me
the
opportunity
case
41
and
it's
Adam
I
on
your
agenda
on
Riverside
Drive,
the
applicant
did
propose
some
conditions
at
Planning
Commission
that
were
a
little
bit
different
from
one
of
those
developed
by
staff.
One
of
those
is
regarding
the
access
extension
of
the
Riverwalk
and
we're
in
some
discussion
with
CDOT
just
to
make
sure
that's
the
right
language
and
we'll
communicate
with
the
applicant
about
that.
But
I
will
I
will
follow
up
on
that.
We
just
don't
have
quite
final
communication.
R
Tweaking
a
condition
that's
already
on
there,
staff
head
language,
the
applicant
came
back
with
revised
language
and
we're
just
making
sure
it's
really
capitalizing
and
taking
advantage
of
the
connection
from
the
Wilcox
bridge
to
the
Riverwalk
and
has
the
right
language.
So
it's
already
a
condition
and
what's
discussed,
is
the
intent,
a
Planning
Commission.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
the
the
right
language
for
the
city.
Very
good.
Thank.
P
H
S
S
S
Well,
I
can
control
it
this
time,
great
all
right
so
background.
The
people
in
this
room
don't
really
need
me
to
go
through
all
these,
so
this
is
basically
where
we've
been
over
the
last
year.
This
Council
took
a
very
tough
decision
and
imposed
the
moratorium
on
new
stvrs
until
we
could
get
a
new
framework
in
place
with
which
to
do
new
enforcement
measures.
There
were
meetings
upon
meetings
upon
meetings.
After
that,
that's
a
brief
timeline
and
you'll
have
this
in
your
packets
as
well.
S
Here
we
are
now
it's
May
2023.
We
do
not
yet
have
a
new
law
in
the
books.
I
hope
that
we
change
that
next
week.
The
proposed
amendment
from
the
administration
as
a
starting
point
in
the
ordinance
moves.
That's
TBR
regulations
to
chapter
38
to
the
zoning
which
legal
counsel
has
advised
us
is
the
proper
place
for
it
to
be
in
the
in
the
ordinance
in
the
ordinances.
It
keeps
the
overlay
and
re-adopts
it
as
a
part
of
the
amendment.
S
The
overlay
is
for
home
stays
now,
so
non-owner
occupied
or
as
I'll
be
referring
to
them.
Hereafter
is
absentee
are
allowed
in
every
District,
where
you
can
build
a
hotel
today,
home
stays
or
non-owner
occupied
or
owner
occupied,
rather
are
allowed
in
those
same
zones,
plus
any
residential
Zone
within
the
overlay,
which
is
currently
the
situation
as
well.
S
S
S
S
S
S
One
of
the
most
important
things
is
that
the
local
contact
person
must
be
available
24
hours
a
day
by
phone
and
must
be
able
to
arrive
at
the
property
in
question
within
two
hours
in
person
and
the
best
part,
the
administrative
hearing
officer.
Thank
you
to
council
for
already
approving
an
administrative
hearing
officer,
I
understood.
We
have
received
at
least
one
application,
and
there
will
be
a
presentation
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
and
this
Council
will
choose
who
the
new
aho
is.
S
S
This
just
says
that
the
the
permits
are
renewable
and
we're
grandfathering
in
every
existing
permit.
So
once
again,
I
want
to
State
again
nobody
who's
currently
operating
within
the
law
will
be
put
out
of
business.
They
can
continue
to
operate.
They
just
need
to
keep
doing
their
paperwork
every
year.
S
B
G
From
the
various
neighborhoods
in
my
district
is
this
true,
nothing
outside
the
overlay
that
is
in
R1
will
allow
short-term
vacation
routes
they're
not
allowed
there
correct
I
think
it
is
true,
correct
all
right
so
pretty
much.
What
you're
saying
is
the
overlay
stays
as
it
is
for
those
that
have
been
that
are
outside
the
overlay.
S
K
Thank
you,
I
put
math
on
the
fees
versus
the
cost
of
enforcement
I'm.
Looking
for
the
notes
that
I
had
taken
back
in
a
meeting
several
months
ago,
Chris
can
you
walk
us
through
the
estimated
cost
of
enforcement
between
the
aho,
the
two
cars,
the
two
new
people
to
enforce,
and
the
fees
as
you
have
them
outlined
here.
S
K
K
138
thousand
dollars
to
cover
our
costs,
but
since
then,
we've
added
vehicles
I'm
just
doing
a
quick
estimate
that
at
five
hundred
dollars
per
absentee,
if
we
had
300
of
them
that
would
yield
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
I'd
just
like
to
make
sure
that
this
is
going
to
cover
its
own
costs.
We.
K
K
P
Now,
thank
you,
madam
Vice,
chair
any
other
questions
from
Council
I'm,
not
shocked.
We
have
been
discussing
this
for
quite
some
time.
I
think
I
heard
a
motion
to
approve
I.
Didn't
I,
didn't
hear
that
Chris
I
didn't
hear
that
Chris
so
counsel,
any
other
questions
or
concerns
about
what
has
been
proposed.
That
has
come
through
Planning
Commission.
K
Floor,
thank
you.
So
the
statement
has
been
made
multiple
times
that,
within
this
ordinance
that
short-term
vacation
rental
would
be
allowed
in
any
Zone
in
which
a
hotel
would
be
allowed,
and
so,
for
example,
we've
got
several
ugc
that
come
across
our
desk
regularly.
That
often
will
have
a
condition
that
say.
Residential
use
only
does
that
take
them
out
of
the
running
for
anything
that
has
the
ability
to
be
a
hotel.
It
seems
like
it
does,
but
is
that
the
condition
that
makes
it
not
able
to
be
a
short-term
vacation
rental
depending.
S
On
the
wording
of
the
condition,
because
I
know,
the
conditions
are
different
for
each
case,
it
could
possibly
I
would
need
to
see
the
specific
wording
and
confer
with
the
city
attorney
in
the
abstract.
And
generally,
yes,
is
the
answer
to
your
question.
But
I
can't
say
that
across
the
board
for
every
case,
because
they
all
have
different
conditions
about.
G
So
in
my
district
we're
doing
a
lot
to
enhance
housing
availability
and
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time
and
money
and
as
our
developers
who
are
retooling
motels
so
that
we
can
have
the
needed,
affordable
housing
in
our
area.
So
the
question
becomes
very
good
in
that
those
could
in
turn
become
short-term
vacation.
Rentals.
G
So
anytime,
we
do
this
in
let's
say
my
district
is
an
example
of
that,
where
some
other
neat
things
are
happening,
one
of
the
conditions
would
be
no
short-term
vacation,
rentals
conditioning,
even
though
you're
in
a
C2
or
ugc.
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
Thanks
for
that
input,
Jenny,
that's
a
good
point.
Thank.
S
Yes
and
to
add
to
that
chairman,
if,
if
you
have,
for
example,
a
four
unit
townhome
building,
that
is
in
ugc
on
Main
Street,
for
example,
the
25
saturation
cap
would
limit
it
to
only
one
right
and
typically,
those
ugc
rezones
have
been
on
or
very
close
to,
Major
thorough,
Affairs,
correct,
okay
or
industrial
sites.
Yeah
all
right.
