You
ma'am
I
would
like
to
read
from
Isaiah
Chapter
58
this
afternoon
is
not
this.
The
kind
of
fasting
I
have
chosen
to
loose
the
chains
of
Injustice
and
untie
the
cords
of
the
yoke
to
set
the
oppressed,
free
and
break
every
yoke
is
not
this,
or
is
it
not
to
share
your
food
with
the
hungry
and
to
provide
the
poor
Wanderer
with
shelter
when
you
see
the
naked
to
clothe
them
and
not
to
turn
them
away
from
your
own
flesh
and
blood?
F
F
G
Ledford,
thank
you,
madam
Vice,
chair
Madam,
Vice
chair
members
of
council,
mayor
Kelly,
an
honored
guest.
Thank
you
with
the
members
for
this
Proclamation
here
today.
Please
join
me
at
the
podium.
We
have
Dave
Buck,
the
executive
director
of
the
Chattanooga
Autism
Center,
and
we
have
former
city
council
chairman
Erskine
Oglesby,
no
stranger
to
this
body.
G
Well,
thank
you,
gentlemen,
both
for
joining
us
today.
This
is
a
Chattanooga
City
Proclamation,
whereas
World
autism
day
is
an
internationally
recognized
day
on
April,
2nd
every
year
happening
since
2008
and
is
a
way
to
celebrate
the
autism
community
and
whereas
the
CDC
estimates,
the
rate
of
autism
diagnosis,
is
now
one
in
36
people,
2.8
percent
and
whereas
the
Chattanooga
Autism
Center,
now
estimates
that
there
are
15
000.
G
Now,
therefore,
on
this
11th
day
of
April
2023,
the
Chattanooga
city
council
hereby
proclaims
April
2023,
World,
Autism,
Awareness
Month
in
the
city
of
Chattanooga,
and
encourages
all
citizens
to
join
together
to
create
acceptance,
inclusion
and
understanding
of
autistic
people
in
our
community
and
around
the
world.
Sign
this
day,
every
member
of
this
city,
council.
G
H
Very
much
appreciate
it
and
I
promise
I'll.
Be
brief.
I
just
want
to
tell
you
guys
about
my
gratitude,
I'd
like
to
thank
Erskine,
Oglesby
and
Derek
for
championing
this
Proclamation
and
for
their
support
on
the
with
the
Chattanooga
Autism
Center
and
the
people
that
we
serve
and
I'm
grateful
for
the
members
of
the
Chattanooga
city
council.
For
this
Proclamation
and
helping
us
celebrate
the
autism
community,
now
I
helped
craft.
The
proclamation
and
I
made
an
error
in
leading
some
old
language
in
it
kind
of
prove
the
point.
H
I
want
everyone
to
raise
their
hands.
Who
is
not
aware
of
autism
raise
your
hands
if
you're
not
aware
of
autism
all
right,
so
the
awareness
we've
got.
What
we
are
looking
for.
What
the
autism
Community
is
trying
to
do
is
point
out
that
they're
seeking
acceptance
and
inclusion
and
understanding
that's
what
this
month
is
really
about.
H
Allowing
the
autistic
students
to
reach
their
fullest
potential,
and
rather
than
feeling
excluded
or
left
behind
autistic
individuals
are
grateful
that
the
mayor's
Council
on
disability
exists
and
whose
mission
is
to
support
economic
self-sufficiency,
independent
living
and
inclusion
and
integration
for
all.
The
individuals
with
disabilities
in
Chattanooga
and
the
autism
population
is
grateful
for
local
businesses
who
recognize
their
strengths
and
have
modified
their
interview
and
hiring
processes
or
who
are
actively
seeking
to
hire
autistic
people.
H
The
Chamber
of
Commerce,
the
Enterprise
Center
Chattanooga,
Autism,
Center,
Chattanooga
area,
employment,
Consortium
and
other
local
organizations
are
hosting
workshops.
Panel
discussions,
webinars
teaching
employers
about
this
opportunity.
More
and
more
local
businesses
like
TVA,
Unum,
Food,
City
and
many
others
have
policies
and
programs
that
are
actively
hiring
autistic
individuals.
They
work
with
UTC,
Chat
State
and
the
schools
to
interview
and
hire
autistic
employees.
You
all
should
be
proud
of.
H
So
this
month
of
April,
we're
asking
all
of
you
to
celebrate
autistic
people,
kids
and
adults.
Ask
them
about
their
needs,
their
interests,
their
goals
and
their
dreams
be
purposeful
about
making
sure
they
have
a
voice
in
the
local
government
and
this
community.
We
will
all
be
stronger
when
this
becomes
the
norm.
H
Thank
you.
Oh
and
I'm
wait
I'm
supposed
to
talk
about
the
walk,
so
this
Saturday,
our
autism,
walk
10th
Annual
at
Coolidge
Park,
our
walk
director
just
said.
We
have
835
people
registered
that
Park
fills
up.
It
is
a
signature
event
in
Chattanooga
they
go
across
the
Walnut
Street
Bridge.
They
visit
autism-related
service
providers,
kids
activities
and
we're
raising
money
for
autism
programs
in
this
community.
We're
still
not
at
our
goal.

Thank

I
do
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
councilwoman

wanted
to
run.

I
You,

move
on,
let
me
be
the
first
to
say:
congratulations,
I'm,
looking
very
much
forward
to
the
next
year,
but
in
looking
back
over
the
past
year,
I
also
wanted
to
make
sure
to
tell
chairman
and
now
councilman
Ledford.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Over
the
last
year,
there
are
very
few
people
that
even
those
of
us
that
serve
that
understand
the
amount
of
time
and
dedication
it
takes
to
do
that.
Job
well
and
I
would
like
to
say
that
you
have
done
an
extraordinary
job.
K
I
With
that,
thank
you
so
much
for
everything.
Over
the
last
year
it
actually
made
at
least
my
job
on
Council
way
easier
with
how
well
you
ran
the
meetings.
How
well
you
kept
things
in
line
and
and
I
know.
That
was
because
of
Nicole,
but
thank
you
in
that.
In
that
leadership,
role
and
I
would
just
also
like
to
say
welcome
to
the
Chattanooga
city
council,
chairman
Alumni,
Association,.
D
Glad
to
be
there
yes
and
we
have
councilwoman
Rock
next,
but
before
I
do
that
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
for
coming
to
some
of
my
favorite
constituents.
I
see
Susan,
Gilmore
and
Tom
out
there.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
y'all.
They
have
supported
me
from
the
beginning
from
way
way
in
the
beginning
before
I
thought
about
city
council,
so
I
thank
them.
So
much
for
coming
councilwoman.
L
Conrad,

chair

like

K

Look

just
wanna
I
just
want
to
say,
I
hope
we
kept
it
interesting
for
you,
Mr
former
chairman,
from
packed
out
public
hearings
about
sustainability
plans
and
hotels
and
baseball
stadiums.
My
Administration,
through
you,
a
curveball
or
two
during
your
time
as
chair,
but
you
always
call
balls
and
sites
fairly
and,
more
importantly,
you
always
made
sure
everyone
had
an
opportunity
to
have
their
voices
heard.
So
thank
you
for
that.
K
K
You
led
the
efforts
to
dedicate
the
the
Heritage
House
arts
and
Civic
Center
to
the
lake
Don
Eaves
and,

these
brainer
does
a
huge
debt
of
gratitude
for
that.
You

the
modernization
of
our
zoning
code,
which
will
open
up
more
housing
options
for
every
chattanoogan
and
help
Shepherd
the
city's
first
parks
and
Outdoors

effort
in
over
25
years.
K
You
have
indeed
shown
our
entire
Community
what
our
legislative
and
executive
branches
of
government
can
do
together
we're
on
the
same
page
and
they
share
the
same
values
and
those
examples
of
Civility
are
all
too
rare,
as
we
well
know,
both
locally
at
the
state
level
and
nationally,
and
you
are
to
be
commended
it
as
a
body
for
your
for
your
sense
of
Civility
and
our
relationship,
which
I
I
treasure
deeply.
K
So
thank
you
for
that
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Chattanooga.
Also
again,
thank
you
again
for
the
turn
of
the
gavel.
I
know
that
isn't
easy
to
chairwoman,
Donnelly
and
vice
chair
Hill.
Congratulations
I'm,
very
much
looking
forward
to
working

done.

post
motion
passes.
Next
we
will
have
a
public
hearing
on
commercial
property,
assessed
clean
energy
and
resiliency,
or
to
see
Pacer
program
ordinance.
But
before
we
start,
I
want
to
have
Joe
to
come
up
and
explain
what
all
of
that
is.
O
Thank
you,
chairwoman.
If
there's
a
presentation,
I
think
that
I
can
run
through
really
quickly
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
it
in
extraordinarily
detail,
as
you
all
have
seen
this
presentation
before.
But
there
are
a
couple
of
points
I
want
to
highlight.
Like
I
said,
we
did
review
this
in
strategic
planning,
but
the
seat.
O
Pacer
ordinance
provides
a
voluntary
tax
assessment
that
is,
between
a
property
owner
and
A
lender,
both
voluntary,
and
this
provides
a
new
financing
mechanism
for
Energy
Efficiency
improvements
and
resiliency
improvements,
a
new
tool
in
the
toolbox,
if
you
will
for
chattanoogan's.
So
this
is
authorized
by
the
Tennessee
General
Assembly
in
title
68,
chapter
205
and
it
is
property-based
financing
for
energy
and
water
efficiency
improvements
as
well
as
resiliency
improvements.
So
everything
from
improving
the
thickness
of
Windows
to
adding
solar
panels
which
can
help
improve
the
resiliency
of
a
building.
O
These
can
be
considered
qualified
projects
and
it
acts
like
an
assessment.
The
bill
would
come
around
annually
along
at
times,
along
with
the
assessment,
but
the
funds,
in
the
way
that
we
have
designed
the
program
would
be
paid
directly
to
the
lender.
Again.
O
This
is
a
voluntary
program
that
we
anticipate,
maybe
one
to
three
of
every
year
and
the
assessment
lien
would
be
placed
on
the
property
and
the
in
exchange
for
that
the
property
owner
from
A
lender
would
receive
the
funds
to
do
long-term,
deep
Energy
Efficiency
improvements,
a
couple
of
things
I
want
to
flag.
There
are
zero.
There
have
been
zero
foreclosures
on
C,
Pace
properties.
O
Nationwide,
there
are
only
a
handful
of
c-pace
lenders
and
again,
the
city
of
Chattanooga
is
part
of
this
program
would
certify
that
these
are
eligible
projects
and
then
would
sign
off
on
that
and
then
from
there
on
it
is
between
the
property
owner
and
the
lender.
The
statute
provides
very
limited
situations
in
which
there
is
any
liability:
local
government,
it's
explicitly
in
the
situation
of
gross
negligence,
that
the
city
would
be
liable
and
we
have
put
in
place
a
measure
and
program
that
would
ensure
that
all
projects
are
eligible
and
reviewed
by
our
staff.
O
These
projects
are
currently
enabled
in
Memphis,
Davidson,
County
or
Nashville,
and
Robertson
County
in
Tennessee,
and
it's
currently
enabling
legislation
is
in
in
process
and
for
other
municipalities
and
counties
throughout
the
state.
Again,
this
adds
a
valuable
tool
to
the
toolbox
for
developers
of
affordable
housing
or
multi-family
housing
or
commercial
properties
to
again
deepen
the
affordability
and
efficiency
of
their
projects.
O
This
is
the
one
thing
I've
noticed
didn't
translate.
The
C
Pacer
Provisions
can
be
used
in
everything,
except
for
single
family
residential,
so
there
should
be
an
X
there,
but
it
is
enabled
for
offices,
multi-family
housing,
industrial
retail,
Hotel
agricultural.
They
can
all
be
used.
This
this
process
can
all
be
used
for
everything
other
than
single
family
housing.
And
again
this
is
100
financing.
It
allows
deep
retrofits
and
increases
property
values
which
ultimately
increase
our
local
tax
base
and
I
want
to
underscore.
O
Once
again,
this
is
a
voluntary
lending
agreement
that
a
property
owner
and
A
lender
would
both
voluntarily
agree
to
enter,
and
the
loan
value
cannot
exceed
the
overall
value.
Again,
no
local
financial
resources
are
at
risk.
The
city
generally
has
no
liability
for
non-payment
by
a
property
owner
that
would
be
the
lender's
responsibility
and
then
finally,
the
there
is
no.
O
There
is
no
provision
and
in
fact
it
is
explicitly
prohibited
by
state
legislation
that
allows
the
local
government
to
use
public
funds
to
repay
any
of
the
seat.
Pacer
loan
terms
by
any
property
owner,
so
no
City
dollars
can
go
into
these
loans.
This
is
again
explicitly
an
agreement
between
a
property
owner
and
A
lender.
I
will
point
out
that
there
is
an
administrative
fee
that
would
come
back
to
the
city
of
one
percent,
but
it
is
capped
in
fifty
thousand
dollars.
O
For
most
of
these
loan
terms,
you
would
see
somewhere
in
that
50
000
ranges
and
application
fee
for
processing
this,
so
This
has
an
opportunity
to
provide
Revenue
back
to
the
city
and
again,
the
city
of
Chattanooga
has
chosen
to
delegate
the
billing
responsibilities
directly
to
the
capital
provider
and
that
you
know
there
are
more
details
and
we
cover
those
in
strategic
planning.
But
I
wanted
to
see
if
there's
any
questions
from
Council
before
I
turn
this
over
to
the
public
hearing
back
to
you,
madam
Vice,
chair
or
sir
Madam
chair.
D
P
Each
speaker
here,
if
they
they
wish
to
be
heard
during
this
public
hearing
I,
think
it's
been
set
aside
for
30
minutes
at
this
point
in
time.
If
you
wish
to
talk-
and
each
speaker
has
to
come
to
the
microphone
up
front,
can't
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak
during
this
time
and
only
talk
on
matters
that
are
involving
the
seat
Pacer
program
at
this
time.
N
My
name
is
Nick
Wilkinson
I'm
CEO
of
the
Tivoli
Theater
Foundation
399
McCauley
Avenue
District
8,
our
newly
elected
true
women's
District.
So
congratulations
I'm
here
today
to
speak
in
favor
of
C
Pacer
commercial
property
assessed
clean
energy
and
resiliency,
as
it's
known
here
in
the
state
of
Tennessee
before
I.
Tell
you
why
the
Tivoli,
Theater
Foundation,
is
in
support
of
this
important
program
for
our
project.
I
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
foundation
that
I
think
so
many
of
you
know,
because
you
helped
us
get
established.
N
The
Tivoli
Theater
Foundation
was
established
in
2015
to
preserve,
promote
and
to
manage
the
Tivoli
Theater,
the
Soldiers
and
Sailors
for
more
Auditorium
in
the
Walker
theater.
Since
we've
taken
over
these
venues,
we've
seen
an
annualized
900
increase
in
the
volume
of
shows
and
events
that
take
place
in
these
venues,
bringing
them
back
to
life
activating
the
way
they
should
have
always
been
used.
We've
also
invested
over
10
million
dollars
into
these
buildings
to
date
before
our
project
begins.
N
Actually,
we
still
have
remained
home,
though,
to
the
symphony
and
the
ballet
and
some
many
other
non-profit
users.
Graduations
children's
programs.
We
also,
though
bring
the
best
in
Broadway,
shows
and
events
concerts,
comedy
everything
across
the
Spectrum.
We
also
provide
tremendous
economic
impact
to
our
community
in
2022
alone.
It's
it's
based
on
a
study
we
commissioned
from
the
University
of
Florida.
We
brought
in
over
220
events
we
sold
under
155
000
tickets.
N
All
50
states
were
represented
in
those
sales
we
created
over
404,
full-time,
equivalent
positions,
we
generated
over
43.6
million
in
economic
impact
back
into
our
city
and
our
downtown,
and
that
also
generated
2.2
million
in
local
and
state
taxes,
so
obviously
a
big
Roi
for
the
city
and
a
great
choice
for
you
all
to
set
up
a
private
nonprofit
Foundation.
We
have
not
the
reason
we
are
interested
in
this
program
is
we
have
a
60
million
dollar
project,
we're
renovating
200
year
old
buildings,
as
you
can
imagine,
they
have
a
lot
of
Energy
Efficiency
opportunities.
N
They
have
a
lot
of
HVAC
upgrades
a
lot
of
new
windows,
a
lot
of
improvements
that
will
by
default,
qualify
us
for
these.
This
sort
of
preferable
financing
that
we
have
found,
as
we've
studied
this
project
very
preferable
to
Traditional
Bank
financing,
and
so
we
very
much
appreciate
your
consideration
of
this
ordinance.
N
Like
Jody
said
it's
between
a
private
lender
and
a
private
borrower,
the
city's
role
is
very
minimal.
Numerous
Cities
Tennessee
cities
have
already
adopted.
I
won't
go
over
that
again,
it
will
spur
good
Development
I've
talked
to
numerous
hoteliers.
N
We
have
a
lot
of
great
hoteliers
in
our
city
who
are
very
interested
in
this
passing
so
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
great
opportunity
for
bringing
in
good
development
the
kind
of
sustainable
development
that
Chattanooga
is
known
for
mostly
I'll,
also
say
one
thing
that
that's
going
to
lead
to
once
we
complete
this
project,
the
60
million
R,
plus
restoration
of
the
Tivoli
and
the
expansion
into
the
Tivoli
Center,
building
that
we
bought
we're
going
to
create
800,
plus
800
or
so
jobs,
81
million
dollars
of
economic
impact
and
double
the
amount
of
State
local
taxes
back
to
the
state
and
city.
N
D
M

We
can't
get
our
roads
on
Lower,
Mill,
Road
or
down
on
Rod
Street
potholes
put
up
and
everything,
but
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
try
to
get
800
more
thousand
people
in
here
for
new
revenues,
but
we
can
get
our
cities
straightened
up.
Get
your
city
straightened
up.
First,
before
you
start
making
these
ridiculous
things
is
going
to
cost
us
more
money
in
the
end,
God
bless
have
a
good

It's

This
is
a

Yes,

We
have
one
RFP
we're
requesting
approval
to
issue
the
RFP,
not
approval
to
award
any

at
this
time.
This
is
from

This

D
L
Is
that
this
April's
second
chance
for
the
13th
at
six
o'clock
of
the
Criminal
Justice
Reform,
a
panel
will
be
had
at
six
o'clock
at
2901,
Taylor,
Street
Ross,
and
it
will
be
shattering
collateral
consequences.
We
have
Robert
Cheryl,
who
was
pardoned
by
President
Trump,
that's
going
to
come
down
and
share.
You
know
his
journey
and
how
the
collateral
consequences
have
been
a
consistent
barrier
in
his
life,
along
with
other
faces
of
incarceration.
We
often
think
about.
L
So
if
you
are
able
to
come
out
and
then
also
on
April,
the
22nd,
the
Sycamore
Institute
will
be
presenting
on
the
Justice
debt
dilemma
talking
about
fees
and
fines,
how
it's
also
a
barriers
to
those
that
are
reintegrating
back
into
society
and
that's
going
to
be
held
at

and
it
will
be
like
a
half
day,
a

from

D
Much
please
and
Madame
Vice
chair,
councilwoman

Thank
you
so
much
all
right.
Now
we
come
to
the
point
of
persons
wishing
to
address
the

City
attorney.
Would
you
please
give
the
rules
and
as
he's
given
those
if
you
would
like
to
address
Council,
you
come
up
please
and
line
up
behind

up
at
this
Podium

P
So,
at
the
end
of
each
council
meeting
the
chair
will
recognized
members
of
the
public
who
wish
to
address
the
council
come
up
front
to
the
microphone
and
speak
only
from
the
microphone.
You
can't
have
more
than
three
minutes
to
speak
and
you
can
address
the
council
only
upon
matters
within
their
legislative
and
quasi-judicial
authority
and
not
upon
matters
that
are
not
under
their
Authority
or
regulated
by
other
governmental
bodies
or
agencies.
P
Don't
engage
in
any
vulgar
or
obscene
language,
nor
use
in
Florida
personally
attack
or
personally
denigrate
others
and
address
your
comments
to
the
council
as
a
whole
and
not
towards
individual
council
members
and
please
don't
engage
in
disorderly
conduct
or
disrupting
a
public
meeting
which
is
prohibited
under
Tennessee
law
and
a

commits
that
offense
if
a
person
substantially
obstructs
or
interferes
with
the
meeting
by
physical
action
or
verbal
utterance,
with
the
intent
to
prevent
or
disrupt
a
lawful
meeting.
So
having
stated
those
rules,
ma'am
come
right
ahead.
Q
Q
Second
I'd
just
like
to
take
one
moment
to
thank
this
Council,
the
city
of
Chattanooga
Kelly
and
this
Administration
for
their
work
to
move
Chattanooga
into
a
cleaner
and
health
for
our
future
and
our
grandchildren,
I
think
the
majority
of
you
to
public
pressure
and
for
approving
the
resolution
and
support
of
the
climate
action
plan.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
left
to
save
this
planet
and
the
work
done
in
towns
and
cities
like
Chattanooga
will
lead
the
way
and
drive
change
starting
right
now.
Q
E
Well,
let
me
say:
first
thank
you
Madam
chair
and
congratulations.
Marty
Bell
on
this
journal,
Mr
gray,
hair
Fox.
We're
still
not
sure
what
district
we're
in
now-
and
this
is
year
2023.,
but
I
did
get
a
call.
I've
got
an
invitation
I'm
going
to
Nashville
to
represent
the
city
of
Chattanooga
County
of
Hamilton.
Of
course,
many
of
you
heard
that
some
people
who
think
like
Montebello
made
the
news.
The
last
time
I
was
here.
E
I
asked
you
all
to
stay
out
of
the
mirror,
and
yet
you
did
the
opposite,
and
you
made
world
news.
Compliments
of
CNN.
Let
me
tell
you
about
CNN,
real,
quick
I
need
more
time.
My
book
that's
been
stolen
for
at
least
seven
times
has
a
front
cover
with
my
photograph
on
it.
E
It
was
given
to
me
by
a
name
man
named
Tommy,
J
right
here,
locally,
more
Loy
locally.
We
don't
know
anybody
in
television,
radio
or
the
newspaper
right
now.
I
can
read
right
out
of
here
and
ask
you
who's
on
radio
who's
on
television.
It
was
in
the
newspaper.
Nobody
knows
and
you've
tried
to
silence
me
when
I
come
back
I'm
going
to
talk
about
this
illegal
rest.
That's
when
I'm
going
to
Nashville
to
talk
about
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
black
police
chief.
E
That
comes
to
my
town
and
arrests
me
based
on
a
mayor
who
put
a
hit
out
on
me,
we're
going
to
discuss
that
I
