Thank.
K
You
mayor

basically
for
it,
the
newer

This
is
again
a
part
of
the
process,
and
at
this
time
we
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
the
public.
We
will
continue
with
the

which
includes
May
20th,
having
budget
adjustments
as
well
as
May

additional
budget

but
again
as
part
of
the
process.
We
allow
the
public
to
respond
to
things
that
they've
seen
in
the
proposed
budget.
All.
A
L
Amy
Mayor
manager,
Jones
members
of
council
first
I,
just
want
to
extend
a
sincere
thank
you
for
your
service.
During
this
challenging
time.
I
know
the
responsibilities
have
fallen
on
each
of
you
to
help
us
manage
this
crisis.
Our
heavy
and
all
of
you
have
been
busier
than
the
normal
working
to
keep
us
all
safe.
So
thank
you
so
much
I
am
the
founder
and
executive
director
of
sustained
Charlotte.
Sustained
Charlotte
is
a
local
nonprofit,
and
our
mission
is
to
inspire
choices
that
lead
to
a
healthy,
equitable
and
vibrant
community
for
generations
to
come.
L
I
won't
comment
on
the
managers
proposed
operating
budget
for
next
year,
but
rather
make
a
couple
of
comments
about
the
proposed
five-year
CIP
back
in
January.
You
may
recall
that
we
asked
you
to
include
50
million
and
yep
coming
to
your
bond
package
to
make
our
cities
safer
for
walking
and
biking.
As
we
said,
then
we
believe
substantial
investments
to
transform
our
streets
for
healthy
and
zero
pollution.
Transportation
have
never
been
more
imperative.
A
little
did.
We
know,
then
that
koban
would
make
that
need
even
more
imperative.
Over
these
past
two
months.
L
We
have
not
only
seen
our
skies
clear
due
to
so
many
fewer
cars
on
our
streets,
but
we
have
also
seen
more
residents
take
to
our
streets
on
bike
and
foot
that
I
have
personally
ever
seen
in
my
12
years
Charlotte.
So
we
were
thrilled
to
see
that
have
been
nearly
103
million
and
proposed
transportation.
Investments
included
in
the
CIP
bond
package.
L
Over
50
million
would
be
spent,
making
our
streets
safer
for
walking
and
biking
several
bike
and
pedestrian
projects,
some
of
which
have
been
in
the
works
and
partially
funded
over
many
years,
will
receive
additional
funding.
If
you
approve
this
budget
and
voters
approve
the
bonds
in
November
and
for
this
I
want
to
thank
the
staff,
it's
extremely
encouraging
and
exciting
to
see.
At
the
same
time,
we
were
disappointed
to
see
that
this
budget
does
not
include
four
million
per
year
for
the
bike
program,
as
called
for
in
the
council
adopted
bike
plan.
L
Instead,
as
was
the
case
in
2018,
this
budget
proposes
just
2
million
per
year
for
the
bike
program
or
half
of
what
is
recommended
in
the
bike
plan.
It's
a
while
the
proposed
investment
in
stand-alone
bicycle
and
pedestrian
projects
is
four
million
per
year,
for
the
bike
program
will
provide
the
critical
funds
needed
to
respond
to
a
fast
changing
world
over
the
past
two
years.
Many
opportunities
to
improve
our
bike
bike
network
have
arisen
in
the
bike
program.
L
Funding
allows
us
to
be
nimble
and
seize
these
opportunities,
and
if
covin
has
shown
us,
the
demand,
more
bicycle
and
pedestrian
friendly
streets
is
growing
fast
and
therefore
we
need
to
budget
more
than
we
have
in
the
past
and
fully
fund
the
bike
program.
Thank
you
so
much
again
for
your
service
and
your
consideration
of
this
amendment
to
the
capital
investment
plan
budget,
which
overall
is
fantastic.
Thank.
A
M
M
You
good
evening,
mayor
Lyles
members
of
the
City
Council
I'm
Adam
Reyes
Koski,
chair
of
the
Bicycle
Advisory
Committee
I'm,
here,
to
share
the
highlights
of
our
recommendations
adopted
unanimously
during
a
special
meeting
of
the
committee
on
May
7th
for
the
fiscal
year
2021
budget.
The
full
text
of
our
recommendations
will
arrive
in
your
email
inboxes
shortly
as
we
considered
our
recommendations
for
this
budget
cycle,
the
coab
in
nineteen
pandemic
weighed
heavily
on
our
minds
discussing
our
recommendations.
M
We
agreed
that
even
in
a
post
pandemic
world
6yz
of
the
Charlotte
ex-player
engineering,
education,
encouragement,
evaluation,
enforcement
and
equity
are
more
relevant
than
ever.
Although
the
pandemic
may
slow,
Charlotte's
growth
will
not
stop
it
further.
It
is
likely
to
exacerbate
our
social
mobility
problems
which
are
worsened
by
our
automobile
reliant
transportation
system.
Because
of
these
factors,
we
recognize
the
need
to
continue
to
build,
maintain
and
operate
a
Travel
Network
with
safe
options
for
bicyclists
pedestrians
and
transit
riders.
M
As
we
present
our
recommendations,
we
acknowledge
and
appreciate
the
city
manager's
proposed
budget
solutions,
nice
the
importance
of
accurate
transportation.
That
being
said,
we
recommend
taking
a
further
step
in
fully
funding
the
bicycle
program.
According
to
the
Charlotte
bikes
plan,
which
calls
for
four
million
dollars
a
year,
who
were
eight
million
dollars
total
for
the
BOM
cycle?
In
order
to
accomplish
his
goals,
several
considerations
influenced
our
recommendations.
One
the
committee
believes
bicycling
and
actor
transportation
are
key
priorities
for
adapting
to
the
world
changed
by
coda.
M
Very
many
individuals
and
families
will
need
to
reprioritize
their
budgets,
make
difficult
choices
regarding
spending.
Many
of
these
residents
already
challenged
by
our
cities
over
reliance
on
cars
are
also
our
essential
workers,
food
service,
public
transit
and
health
care.
We
believe
in
protecting
their
safety
and
meeting
their
needs
by
ensuring
equitable
transportation.
M
We
recognize
the
multiple
capital
investments
of
include
bicycle
and
pedestrian
facilities
than
the
proposed
bond
package
either.
We
believe
the
standalone
full
funding
for
the
bicycle
program
is
still
critical
to
a
strategic
approach
to
bicycling
in
Charlotte,
as
well
as
to
fill
in
the
gaps
left
in
between
those
major
capital
projects.
At
a
time
when
every
dollar
of
the
budget
must
be
spent
strategically.
The
return
on
investment
of
bicycle
and
pedestrian
projects
is
much
higher
and
benefits
more
people
than
automobile
oriented
projects
of
similar
scope
and
spinet.
M
For
example,
the
bicycle
program
is
already
needed:
the
construction
of
the
sixth
Street
cycle
track
and
the
plaza
protected
bike
lane
projects
three.
The
bicycle
program
is
an
alignment
to
other
priorities
adopted
by
council,
including
vision,
zero,
the
strategic
energy
action
plan,
full
funding
for
the
program
facilitates
the
advancement
of
these
commitments.
M
Finally,
for
the
existing
level
of
yearly
funding
of
the
bicycle
program,
labs
are
pure
cities
such
as
Boston,
Seattle,
Austin
and
Denver,
meaning
we
have
catching
up
to
do.
For
these
reasons,
the
Committee
recommends
fully
funding
devices
observing.
We
deeply
appreciate
and
look
forward
to
continued
partnership
with.
A
A
A
N
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you.
My
name
is
Eli
Ania,
Macias,
utterson
and
I'm
here
to
talk
in
behalf
of
arson,
Science
Council,
and
why
is
important
to
fund
Arts
and
Science
Council
and
the
projects
and
the
grants
that
they
give
to
artists
like
me,
so
I
am
going
to
briefly
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
me
and
I.
I
came
to
the
United
States
in
1993
with
no
English
and
a
bachelor's
degree
in
communication,
and
let
me
tell
you
that
Arts
and
Science
Council
has
been
an
immense.
N
You
can.
I
cannot
even
tell
you
how
amazing
has
been
our
success
council
and
how
our
Suk,
the
sense
council
have
prepared
me
to
deal
with
Kovach
19,
so
I
am
going
to
briefly
tell
you
arson
sense.
Council
have
helped
me
to
find
my
role
in
the
community
through
all
the
the
grants
that
they
have
provided.
N
I
have
I,
have
discovered
through
arson,
Science
Council,
a
path
to
become
a
bridge
to
foster
resilience
to
those
who
are
invisible
in
our
community,
and
let
me
tell
you
about
that,
especially
right
now,
with
copic
19
resilience
is
not
a
commercial
market.
A
marketing
world
is
a
true
world
that
we
all
have
to
embrace
and
because
of
the
training
and
the
opportunities
that
are
some
sense
counsel
have
provided
for
me.
I
have
become
a
tool
for
many,
not
only
cancer
patients
but
huge
and
different
types
of
demographics.
A
This
Paterson
theater
so
much
for
the
show
our
support
they
are
I,
I,
hear
you
loud
and
clear.
I
just
want
to
say
to
the
community.
That's
watching
is
that
the
managers
recommendation
continues
funding
for
the
Arts
and
Science
Council
this
year,
the
same
level
as
the
year
before
so
we
are.
We
are
supportive
of
the
arts
organization
for
our
community
and
realize
that
it
serves
many
people
in
many
different
ways.

I'm
here
to
speak
about
funding
for
the
system,
our
pump
through
dire
straits
for
funding
for
the
past
10
years.
The
ice
wares
have
stated
we
needed
to
add
more
money
to
the
fund
or
we're
not
going
to
survive
until
recently,
no
one
has
agreed

A
A
I,
don't
think
the
general
employees
have
got
Nichola
since
before
2000
or
since
2000-
and
there
are
a
number
of
issues
around
this,
so
we'll
look
at
and
look
into
it
and
see
what
we
can
do
and
try
to
figure
out
how
best
to
address
the
needs
of
those
folks
that
have
given
so
much
to
our
community.
With
that
do
we
have
any
other
speakers
miss
madam
clerk,
so.
A
That's
here
well
here
we
can
discuss
that
more
as
we
go
through
our
budget
process
and
make
sure
that
our
firefighters
board
and
the
retirees
know
about
that.
I
fail
to
have
our
staff
introduce
themselves
and
I
really
wanted
to
apologize.
This
we're
joined
and
and
if
I
could
ask
our
city
clerk
to
say
that
she's
here,
Stephanie
killing
city
clerk,
Patrick.
A
I
A
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
a
public
hearing
for
stormwater
pollution
control,
ordinance
revisions,
I
believe,
there's
a
summary
included
in
the
request
for
council
action
that
goes
through
what
the
changes
are
that
are
listed
out.
You
know
prohibits
illegal
discharge.
The
provisions
address
increased
the
city's
ability
to
protect
surface
water
quality
and
improve
the
storm
water
pollution
control
and
clarifies
improvements
and
clarifies
a
lot
of
the
stormwater
pollution
control.
A
The
major
changes
is
a
prohibition
on
certain
pavement,
sealants
containing
high
amounts
of
polygons
silica
or
aromatic
hydrocarbons,
I've
murdered
that
one
really
well,
then,
those
big
words
for
me
known
to
be
harmful
to
surface
quality
and
aquatic
life
and
an
increase
in
the
maximum
fine
for
a
legal
discharge
of
pollutants
from
five
to
ten
thousand
dollars.
This
comes
recommended.
We
had
a
presentation
by
Mike
Davis's
available.
If
there
are
any
questions
to
be
held,
do
we
have
any
speakers?
A
The
next
item
in
our
agenda
is
also
a
public
hearing
and
it's
a
public
hearing
for
the
airport,
2020
bond
anticipation,
notes
to
conduct
our
public
hearing
relative
to
the
issuance
of
a
revenue.
Bond
anticipation,
note,
provides
short-term
financing
for
aviation
projects
and
adopter
resolution
authorizing
and
approving
the
issuance
of
up
to
300
million
in
an
airport
revenue
bond
anticipation,
note
and
calling
for
the
execute
and
execution
and
delivery
of
various
documents
necessary
for
the
financing,
we're
very
familiar
with
the
capital
program
at
the
airport.

A
O
Marin

today
marks
the
sixty-first
day
of
the

responders
working
that
Emergency
Operations
Center
since
its
activation
in
March.
The
policy
group
continues
to
hold
coordination,
calls
on
a
daily
basis,
which
includes
city,
county
managers
as
well
as
the
town
managers
and
a
couple
other
subject
matter:
experts,
including
the
hospital's
Police
and
Fire,
and
Emergency
Management.
O
As
of
the
29th
Mecklenburg
County
fell
into
alignment
with
the
state's
emergency
plan,
which
includes
the
different
phases
of
phase
one
of
the
plan.
Excuse
me
we're
currently
in
phase
1
and
that
took
effect
at
5
p.m.
on
Friday
May
8th
and
will
continue
to
at
least
May
22nd.
We
will
continue
to
monitor
data
during
that
time
to
see
how
our
County
responds
to
the
first
phase,
opening
we
still
awaiting
additional
information
on
phase
2
and
phase
3
directions
from
the
state.
O
P
This
is
for
all
children,
not
just
essential
workers,
CMS
meals,
I
was
talking
to
CMS
today,
and
we
were
discussing
how
they're
able
to
do
what
they
do
and
they
pointed
out
that
one
of
the
reasons
they're
able
to
provide
so
many
meals
is
because
of
their
warehouse
facilities
here
in
the
county,
and
that
has
come
in
quite
handy
during
these
days.
But
CMS
continues
their
mission
and
conduct
of
conducting
food
services
for
approximately
35,000
school-aged
children
per
day.
P
P
Supply
chain
concerns
the
EEOC
is
monitoring
supply
chain
concerns,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
meat
products
and
groceries
stores
and
the
availability
of
supplies
for
our
Food
Bank
Second
Harvest
and
food
pantries
harris-teeter
Kroger
food
line
and
Costco
grocery
stores
are
limiting
the
number
of
meat
and
poultry
packages.
Customers
can
purchase.
Harris
Teeter
has
also
put
purchasing
limits
on
canned
goods,
cleaning
supplies
and
baby
products.
Northcom
urgency
management
advised
today
that
some
of
the
plants
have
additional
cases
they're,
seeing
additional
cases
and
plants,
but
others
have
plateaued.
There
are
no
new
outbreaks
in
facilities.
P
Personal
protective
equipment,
cfd
logistics,
which
is
our
central
receiving
distribution
point
for
emergency
management
in
the
county,
is
working
on
short
term
and
long
range
planning
for
PPE.
We
have
a
sufficient
amount
of
PPE
supplies
on
hand.
We
also
have
additional
supplies
on
order
was
with
established
suppliers.
There
seems
to
be
a
five
week
lag
on
getting
the
high
demand,
PPE
supplies,
but
our
burn
rate
is
not
exceeding
our
supply
chain.
P
At
this
moment,
in
fact,
our
inventory
levels
are
good
enough
that
we
are
supplying
some
of
the
long-term
care
facilities
as
we
can
with
gowns
and
masks.
In
addition
to
the
PPE
orders,
we
are
filling
we're
filling
four
other
county
fire
and
police
departments.
We
also
have
established
allocations
with
PPE
manufacturers
to
get
us
through
summer.
A
Alright,
again,
we
can't
express
our
appreciation
for
the
work
that
you
lead
and
knowing
the
number
of
people
that
have
worked
for
our
organization,
the
county
organization
and
the
number
of
volunteers.
We're
really
grateful
for
what
we've
been
able
to
accomplish.
61
days
is
a
long
time
and
I
haven't
heard
anybody
scream
uncle
yeah.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
C
A
K
C
A
Q
You
will
see
there.
We
want
to
hit
on
what
the
project
is,
but
the
public
benefits
and
the
public
investment
as
well
as
the
economic
impact
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
I'll
give
you
a
brief
on
the
project
background.
Many
of
you
know
this,
but
Valentine
has
been
a
significant
part
of
the
South
Charlotte
community
for
a
very
long
time
and
in
total
it's
2,000
acres.
Q
But
what's
really
important
here
to
remember
is
535
acres
of
the
corporate
park,
which
is
more
than
25%
of
Valentine
cylinders,
single
ownership
and
that's
really
critical
in
achieving
what's
being
proposed
here
tonight.
It
has
developed
all
in
the
past
26
years.
There
was
a
redevelopment
plan
in
2011
that
came
forward,
but
did
have
a
tax
increment
grant
as
a
part
of
that
I
think
that
was
eleven
million
dollars
and
will
be
paid
off
in
the
next
two
years
is
what
we're
anticipating.
Q
In
addition,
over
this
26
years,
four
point:
eight
million
square
feet
of
office
has
been
built.
92
percent
of
that
is
least
17,000
employees
work
in
the
Corporate
Center,
and
that
represents
over
300
companies
and
again
single
owner
and
operators
very
fortunate
to
have
this
as
this
opportunity
comes
sport
and
then
we're
talking
about.
As
you
know,
part
of
this,
the
2020
redevelopment
of
the
golf
course
and
we'll
address
that
a
little
bit
more
details.
Q
Q
Last
time,
I
was
in
front
of
you
was
on
March
4th,
and
then
you
also
had
recently
the
April
20th
public
hearing
for
the
zoning
next
slide.
Please.
So
this
is
Valentine
corporate
Park.
Today,
as
it
stands,
you
see
the
Golf
Course
in
there,
as
well
as
the
hotel
and
a
lot
of
the
office
as
I
mentioned
before.
The
cart
is
92
percent
occupied.
With
a
point
note:
8
foreskins
using
four
point:
eight
million
square
feet
of
office
and
17,000
employees
as
we
go
into
Valentine
reimagine.
Q
The
Northwood
team
has
spent
years
with
staff
developing
this
plan,
and
this
really
is
a
testament
to
how
public
public
private
partnerships
shape
out
where
a
lot
of
the
city
staff
and
a
lot
of
resources
on
the
Northwood
team
have
come
together
to
think
about
this
project
in
making
sure
that
it
is
successful
in
a
lot
of
different
areas.
Phase
one
of
this
project
would
include
a
thousand
units
of
residential
construction
of
a
public
amphitheater
300,000
square
feet
of
retail
and
restaurants.
Q
200
hotel
rooms,
Greenway
connections
in
road
infrastructure
phase,
two,
which
would
be
excuse
me
phase
one-
would
be
in
the
first
five
years.
Phase
two
would
be
in
year,
six
through
twelve
we're
looking
at
a
thousand
residential
units.
In
addition,
three
hundred
townhomes
and
four
hundred
thousand
square
feet
of
office,
we
go
to
the
next
slide
and
really
what
this
is.
Valentine
reimagined
creates
a
destination
with
a
regional
attraction
potential.
Q
What
has
been
a
very
successful
suburban
office
park
has
the
ability
to
evolve
into
what
I
call
Valentine
2.0
and
make
what's
something
that's
great,
even
greater
for
our
community.
But
the
project
gives
the
opportunity
to
secure
the
current
and
future
viability
of
Valentine
is
a
critical
economic
engine
in
South
Charlotte.
Q
It's
important
to
note
that
multiple
city
goals
are
achieved
in
one
project
by
a
single
owner,
jobs,
possible
public
transportation,
walkability
road
network
and
a
grid,
enhanced
ped
and
bike
facilities,
affordable
housing,
Greenway
connections
all
to
create
a
more
inclusive
live-work-play
community,
but
for
single
ownership.
This
would
not
be
able
to
happen
so
a
couple
of
the
key
pieces
to
note
in
this
and
I
know.
Q
This
is
a
lot
of
information
on
a
slide,
but
the
mobility
strategy
in
this
has
been
unique
and
I
really
give
credit
to
the
developer
as
well
as
some
of
this,
the
city
and
the
state
in
working
together
to
create
a
comprehensive
mobility
strategy
around
transit
and
street
networks.
Cdot
planning
cats
and
NCDOT
have
all
come
together
to
develop
a
regional
transportation
and
look
at
it
through
the
lens
of
regional
transportation,
which
supports
the
485
Breslin
projects,
a
potential
for
521
widening
as
well
as
21
intersections
that
have
capacity
improvements.
Q
I
can't
emphasize
that
enough
in
thinking
about
all
of
the
modes
of
transportation
for
this
area
and
the
Greater
South
Charlotte
area.
If
we
go
to
affordable
housing
next,
if
I,
if
I
turn
your
attention
to
the
middle
of
the
screen
and
I
just
I'm,
not
gonna,
walk
through
all
of
these
I'm
gonna
hit
on
them
quickly.
You
will
see
three
different
columns
by
the
initial
proposal
for
affordable
housing,
which
was
submitted
with
the
rezoning
submit.
Q
Additional
public
benefit
the
employment
and
jobs
opportunities
here,
940
retail
hospitality
jobs
would
be
added
with
this
square
footage:
the
550
500
construction
jobs
to
be
added
and
6100
office
jobs
added
over
the
12-year
build-out
of
phase
one
and
Phase
two.
The
other
piece
we've
hit
on
some
is
connectivity
in
open
space.
Six
point:
nine
miles
of
five
foot
sidewalks
six
point
four
miles
of
buffered
bike
lanes
over
a
hundred
acres
of
open
space
would
still
remain
within
this
project.
Q
So,
let's
look
a
little
bit
on
the.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
can
talk
about
the
CIP
and
the
tig
project
and
again
I
apologize
this
a
little
bit
hard
to
see,
but
you
will
see
two
different
lines
and
circles
on
the
map.
The
CIP
projects
are
in
orange
and
the
purple
are
the
tig
projects.
So
the
ask
of
the
developer
is
seventeen
point.
Five
million
in
CIP
projects
I'll
break
that
down
a
little
bit
more.
Q
In
addition,
but
in
all
that
is
several
intersections
and
one
major,
east-west
connector
that
cuts
over
from
521
over
to
community
house.
So
then,
the
TIG
projects
in
purple
are
an
additional
intersections
as
long
with
along
with
another
major,
east-west
connector,
and
the
overarching
benefit
that
we
get
to
this
and
I
mentioned
a
few
slides
back
that
larger,
comprehensive
transportation
and
mobility
plan
is
by
the
public
investment
in
these.
We
get
all
of
these
improvements
much
earlier
than
they
would
be
required
by
a
developer.
Some
wouldn't
be
too
quite
acquire.
Q
Excuse
me
required
by
the
developer,
so
we
we
are
able
to
combine
these
improvements
into
phase
one
when
they
wouldn't
otherwise.
Some
of
these
wouldn't
otherwise
be
required
that
early
into
the
project,
if
we
go
to
the
next
page,
I
can
break
down
the
CIP
and
the
TIG
financing.
For
you
a
little
bit
and
I
want
to
clarify
the
CIP
request.
Seventeen
point:
five
million
it's
a
little
bit
different
than
we
have
it
here
in
working
with
finance
and
working
with
budget
it.
Q
We
should
be
saying
it's
seventeen
point:
five,
either
in
2022
bond
referendum
and
or
2024
giving
the
ability
to
break
it
into,
or
do
it
all
at
once,
and
we
work
on
that
at
a
later
a
later
date.
But
that's
coordination
between
I
think
budget
and
finance
and
ongoing
coordination
with
legal.
Then
the
TIG
would
be
15
years
at
a
45
percent
grant
and
an
interest
of
3.7%.
The
Tigs,
if
you
remember,
are
a
part
city
and
a
part
county.
Q
Q
And
then,
if
you
look
at
those
annually
and
you
spread
it
out
past
the
tick
you're,
looking
at
a
total
of
7.9
million
to
the
city
after
the
tick
and
14
million
to
the
county
Cher
after
the
tick
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
that
over
a
hundred
million
in
taxes
have
been
paid
in
the
Ballantyne
to
date
between
sales
tax
property
tax.
So
there's
a
significant
contribution
that
it's
made
to
our
tax
base
already.
Q
The
key
investments,
the
public
investment
just
again
to
kind
of
recap,
everything
that
fifteen
or
seventeen
point-
five
million
CIP
plus
a
twenty
five
million
tax
increment
grant,
totals
forty
two
point:
five
million
in
public
investment,
the
private
investment
just
on
the
infrastructure
and
public
benefit,
totals
six
point:
four
million
totaling
a
hundred
and
three
million
in
infrastructure
investments.
All
supporting
that
can't
underestimate
this
nut
or
under
emphasize
this
overemphasize.
Excuse
me
one
point:
five
billion
in
private
investment
over
the
next
twelve
years.
Q
Q
A
I
Yes,
Tommen,
but
just
a
brief
comment.
I
think
everybody
knows
I've
been
involved
in
this
in
the
progress
of
this
project.
Quite
some
time,
I
think
it's
a
really
exciting
opportunity
for
South
Charlotte
and
from
the
city
as
a
whole
and
I
think
the
public
financing
terms
are
very
reasonable
in
the
context
of
the
magnitudes
of
all
the
benefits
that
we
receive
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
in
a
word
in
favour.
I
don't
have
any
questions.
Thank
you
all.
J
Appreciate
the
presentation,
lots
of
good
information
I'm
happy
to
see
the
increase
in
affordable
units
I
just
had
a
general
question
about
philosophy.
If
you
will
I
see
that
there's
948
retail
hospitality
jobs
one's
about.
Imagine
if
many
would
follow
them
between
that
50
to
80%
ami
I'm,
just
interested
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
or
if
there's
been
any
thought
in
regards
to
for
the
balance
of
that
940
that
wouldn't
obviously
be
living
in
these
two
60
units.
J
I
would
think
about
mobility
related
to
that
I
see
a
lot
of
infrastructure
improvements
in
downtown
I.
Think
that's
great,
but
assuming
that
a
lot
of
these
folks
will
be
traveling
into
the
community.
I'm
just
I'd
like
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
what
the
story
is
in
regards
to
getting
people
there
to
the
dock.
A
I
believe
the
council
has
other
cats
has
made
some
improvements
that
work
around
the
idea
may
be
several
years
ago.
51
route,
highway,
51
route,
as
well
as
an
employment
route
that
matches
the
employee,
meant
schedule
and
hospitality
as
a
part
of
it.
That's
been
addressed
at
least
several
years
ago.
We
can
get
some
more
information
about
that.
R
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
No
I,
don't
have
a
question.
Just
might
make
a
couple
of
comments.
One
I'm
very
excited
about
the
project.
I
think
it's
a
it's
come
a
long
way
as
relates
to
the
affordable
housing.
I
think
we've
got
a
great
deal
on
the
table:
two
acres
of
property
who
went
to
the
16th
a
portable
units.
They
fall
between
50
and
80
percent
of
the
ami
3000
units
are
I.
R
Think
there's
a
great
effort
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
developers
would
be
working
with
the
city
of
the
merest,
but
a
lot
of
working
in
as
well
comes
Minister,
eggs
and
so
I
think
it's
a
really
really
great
proposal.
Moving
forward.
I
think
the
affordable
housing
piece
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
it
gives
us
the
opportunity
again
to
try
to
put
affordable
units
and
pause
the
town
where
historically,
that
was
not
possible,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
it.
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
the
hard
work.
C
C
Honest
to
the
point
up
to
one
comment
and
then
one
question
on
the
issue
of
mobility:
I
think:
should
this
project
go
forward,
we
do
need
to
have
a
conversation
in
the
final
timeline
for
the
Southern
Blue
Line
extension.
I
think
we
have
to
go
beyond
just
understand
just
right
away.
I
know
that's
going
to
be
a
complex
conversation
I'm,
giving
current
situation,
but
also
that
we're
trying
to
figure
out
the
Silver
Line
as
well.
C
But
if
all
of
these
are
the
development
is
going,
there's
going
to
be
going
online
soon
and
active
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
plan
to
connect
transit
down
there
to
go
with
it.
I
do
have
a
question
for
staff
I'd
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this
new
proposal
for
the
giving
of
the
land
for
development
of
affordable
housing
just
for
clarity
whose
responsibility
we
need
to
develop,
that
with
that
fall
on
the
city
after
that,
and
if
so,
how?
How
will
we
handle
that.
A
Mr.
Winston
I've
worked
very
for
a
while
on
looking
at
this
and
we
looked
at
the
value
of
the
location
and
we
thought
that
the
land
value
and
what
we
could
put
on
it.
There
are
three
major
things
that
I
thought
really
contributed
to
us
getting
the
land
one.
If
you
know
we've
been
doing
Housing
Trust
Fund
projects
and
we've
been
using
15
to
30
years
affordability.
If
this
property
is
deeded
to
us,
affordability
is
in
perpetuity
what
we
build.
There
will
always
be
there
and
it
will
always
be
affordable.
A
That,
to
me,
really
was
a
major
difference
on
a
huge
accomplishment
working
with
the
developers
to
see
the
value
of
that.
The
second
part
of
it
is
that
if
you
remember
the
11
projects,
I
believe
in
9
or
11
projects
that
we
had
in
our
housing
proven
list
just
about
two
weeks
ago
or
three
weeks
ago,
there
were
none
in
the
bucket
of
50%
of
AMI
and
in
fact,
the
project
Brown
before
that
had
none
of
those
projects
at
50%.
A
And
when
you
look
at
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
and
do
this
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
think
about
expanding
this
from
80%
to
50%,
to
give
more
people
the
opportunity
to
live
close
to
work
as
well
as
live
in
a
place.
That
would
provide
the
amenities
that
are
included
in
the
project
and
then
the
final
thing
is
that
we
will
have
to
do
a
plan
to
develop
the
land.
A
I
guess
we'd
apply
for
our
own
housing,
fun
money
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
get
approval
for
it,
but
we
would
apply
for
use
Housing,
Trust,
Fund
money,
as
well
as
the
list
money
and
any
private-sector
developer
that
would
join
with
us.
There
might
be
an
opportunity
there,
but
I
want
to
weigh
that
in
the
context
of
what
is
the
best
and
most
effective
use
of
our
money.
That
may
be
working
with
a
private
sector
partner
that
does
affordable
housing,
but
it
may
be.
A
What
do
we
do
and,
as
you
know,
this
will
be
our
first
time,
but
this
isn't
the
first
piece
of
property
that
we
own
that
will
allow
for
us
to
begin
to
do
things
in
perpetuity.
I've
asked
mr.
Graham
and
I
know
that
you're
on
his
committee
for
the
recovery
task
force
to
make
sure
that
we
look
at
this
policy
and
what
we
grow
out
of
it.
That's
different
is
that
we're
not
just
lending
money
for
short
periods
of
time
and
I?
Think
30
years
is
a
short
period
of
time
for
affordability.
A
It
would
be
great
to
see
a
mom
with
kids
and
their
kids
to
be
able
to
get
up
and
out
of
affordable
housing,
but
if
that's,
if
it
doesn't
always
happen,
some
of
us
are
fortunate
that
we
get
out
of
it
in
one
generation,
but
it
may
take
longer
for
others,
and
we
want
to
make
that
possible.
So
that's
the
rationale
behind
the
Land
Act
was
the
land
being
donated
well.
C
I
totally
I
totally
agree
with
that
and
I'm
in
support
of
the
idea.
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
drill
into
understanding
the
role
that
we
will
will
play
and
how
we'll
kind
of
get
that
done
so,
there's
clarity
amongst
colleagues
and
the
public.
Do
we
envision
of
that
land
being
sort
of
going
into
some
type
of
the
Land
Trust,
or
something
like
that
into
where
to
build
this,
or
maybe
the
start
of
our
land,
trust
I?
Think.
A
A
Q
A
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
Dodson.
This
has
been
great
work.
I
want
to
say
again
to
the
development
team.
We
really
really
value
the
opportunity
that
Valentine
reimagines
going
to
bring
to
the
table
and
we're
really
going
to
be
glad
to
welcome
you
as
a
continued
partner,
as
we
do
many
of
the
try
to
tackle
many
of
the
priorities
that
we
have
for
this
type
of
city
that
we
wanted.
The
city
that
we
wanted
to
be
I
also
wanted
to
address
the
issue
of
transportation.
A
If
you
recall
this
happen,
be
in
February,
we
had
announced
that
Harvey
Gantt
would
lead
a
task
force
report,
a
task
force
group
to
talk
about.
How
do
we
get
the
Silver
Line
handle
and
we
stopped
for
a
moment,
because
we
did
have
the
covent
work
that
we
were
doing,
but
mr.
Gant
has
decided
that
he
is
ready
to
tackle
and
he
thinks
this
is
time
to
do
this
and
in
a
large
part
because
of
the
developments
that
we
are
talking
about
and
needing
that
Silver
Line
to
move
forward
as
well.
A
I
hope
the
opportunity
to
have
federal
infrastructure
funding
to
follow
so
mr.
Getz
I
think
the
first
meeting
is
in
another.
It's
Thursday
it'll
be
brought
it'll,
be
on
our
city,
YouTube
channel,
as
well
as
on
all
of
the
other
methods
that
we
have
for
public
access.
So
the
meeting
is
on
this
Thursday.
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Esmond.
Yes,
please.
J
A
Will
send
out
a
notice
of
that
meeting
tomorrow?
Okay,
I
believe
they're
going
to
I,
don't
know
if
they
said
regular
schedule.
I
think
it's
every
Thursday,
but
Thai
is
not
Thai
was
not
in
here
and
he
was
he's
the
staff
resource
for
that
and
I
know.
You've
been
talking
with
him
about
a
number
of
other
issues
as
well:
miss
Watlington.
So
of
course,
I
think.
All
of
us
should
weigh
in
on
that
we're
ready
to
continue
to
grow
our
transportation
options
all
right,
miss
Johnson
hi.
A
F
A
A
K
K
Then
again
we
go
back
to
the
budget
where
there
are
two
meetings
for
adjustments,
May,
20th
and
May
27th,
and
then
there
is
the
June
1st
strategy
meeting
and
then
we
go
into
the
June,
8th
business
meeting
and
historically
that's
where
the
budget
is
adopted.
The
second
memo
that
I
sent
out
today
deals
with
the
Charis
Act,
a
relief
fund
that
I
discussed
a
little
bit
with
you
on
Monday
and
I,
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
a
bit
of
a
background
on
this
before
going
into
the
memo.
K
So
as
I
discussed
on
Monday,
there
are
what
I'll
try
to
break
it
down
into
two
areas
that
the
hundred
and
fifty
four
point
five
million
dollars
can
be
used
for,
and
one
I'll
call
it
operations
and
the
other
economic
support.
So
I
want
to
talk
just
a
little
bit
about
operations
when
we
think
about
operations.
It's
not
just
this
building
that
I'm
in
right
now,
but
it
is
our
cat
system
and
how
the
cat
system
operates.
K
K
Just
for
typical
operations,
for
instance,
we've
gone
to
what
we
call
the
one-armed
bandit
for
solid
waste,
which
we
find
to
be
the
safest
way
to
pick
up
garbage,
but
there
are
some
cities
that
have
bins
for
yard
waste,
which
would
work
more
efficiently
for
us
to
have
that
one-armed
bandit
picking
up
both
garbage
recycling
and
yard
waste.
So
things
like
that
is
are
what
we
talk
about
when
we
talk
about
government
operations,
but
also
there
is,
how
can
you
keep
buildings
safe?
K
How
can
you
have
the
proper
PPE
for
employees
so,
as
we
start
to
think
about
remote
work,
support
and
facility
safety
and
facility
renovation?
Those
are
some
of
the
items
that
we
are
thinking
about
and
going
through.
I
will
remind
you
that,
in
order
to
get
this
care
Zack
relief
fund,
you
have
to
be
a
city
of
a
half,
a
million
or
more.
K
K
I
could
roll
our
CFO
here
tonight,
but
many
of
the
things
that
she
would
say
to
you
is
that
we're
not
a
hunter
sent
clear
and
so
questions
continue
to
be
asked
on
a
daily
basis
about
how
these
funds
can
be
used,
and
we
reached
out
use
the
budget
office
today
to
look
at
some
air,
pure
cities
and
I
will
say
a
Dallas
and
Fort
Worth
in
Las
Vegas
and
Phoenix
and
San
Jose
in
Sacramento.
While
they
don't
have
plans
that
are
totally
vetted
out.
K
It's
clear
that
they
are
working,
much
like
what
I've
recommended
for
you
tonight
and
that's
to
utilize
the
funds
both
in
operations
and
in
economic
support.
So
with
that
said,
the
memo
that
I
sent
out
today
basically
talks
a
bit
about
what
the
council
has
done
and
some
of
the
questions
that
you've
had
of
me
over
the
last
week.
So
again,
the
first
amount
of
carats
funding
or,
let's
just
say,
stimulus
funding,
came
and
the
CDBG
in
the
ESG
grants
in
which
you've
already
put
5.7
million
dollars.
K
Back
into
the
community,
you
went
a
step
further
and
we
were
able
to
see
old,
identify
old,
CDBG
funds
in
which
you
put
out
funds
for
small
businesses
in
the
corridor.
It's
what
we
do
know
at
this
point
about
this.
One
hundred
and
fifty
four
point.
Five
million
dollars
is
that
it
can
be
used
in
five
areas:
medical
expenses,
payroll
expenses,
public
health
expenses
covered
19
compliance
and
economic
support.
K
What
we
know
that
we
must
do
with
those
funds
in
those
areas
is
that
they're
used
to
cover
costs
that
are
necessary
expenditures
incurred
due
to
kovat
19.
They
were
not
accounted
for
in
the
most
recently
approved
budget
and
they
are
incurred
between
March,
1st
and
December
30th
of
2020
and
again
unlined
cats.
An
airport
these
funds
cannot
be
used
for
revenue
replacement.
So
even
though
we
know
we
have
this
hole
and
sales
tax.
Currently
we
cannot
use
these
funds
for
revenue
replacement.
K
So
what
I
have
recommended
in
the
memo
is
really
to
split
the
funding
in
two
ways.
One
in
terms
of
economic
support
and
I
am
recommending
that
seventy
million
dollars
of
the
hundred
and
fifty
four
point
five
million
dollars,
be
use
around
economic
support.
The
mayor
and
council
you,
you
have
pulled
together,
three
task
force
and
you
are
here
the
game,
as
relates
to
some
other
cities
in
the
areas
of
the
airport,
in
the
areas
of
housing
and
in
small
businesses.
So
I
think
it's
right
for
these
types
of
discussions.
K
What
I
am
asking
in
this
recommendation
is
that
you
look
at
this
as
in
the
short
term
and
also
in
the
let's
call
it
the
medium
term.
Okay
in
the
short
term.
Is
that
because
we
don't
know
what
we
don't
know,
I'm
recommending
that
in
terms
of
a
small
business
and
housing
that
50
million
dollars
be
allocated
now,
so
that
would
be
thirty.
Five
million
dollars
related
to
economic
development
of
15
related
to
housing
and,
as
we've
discussed
on
numerous
occasions,
Eric,
my
goal
is
to
come
back
to
you
at
the
end
of
September.
K
There
would
be
another
seventy
million
dollars
for
government
operations
and
in
those
operations
it's
simply
keeping
people
safe
and
being
able
to
practice
social
distancing
being
able
to
get
us
back
running
more
than
what
we're
doing
now,
because
I
think
people
are
patient
with
us.
I,
don't
know
how
much
longer
that
will
last
as
well
as
at
what
point
is
our
provision
of
course,
services
not
well
enough
to
meet
the
demands
of
both
the
mayor
and
the
council,
but
also
that
the
residents
and
then?
Lastly,
at
that
same
point
at
the
end
of
September?
K
A
I,
don't
I
there,
two
things
that
I
worry
about,
one,
that
the
federal
government
will
not
come
to
a
decision
beyond
where
they
are
today
because
of
the
debate
going
on
between
health
and
economics
as
well
as
an
election
coming
up.
And
then
the
second
thing
I
worry
about
is
the
consistent
caution
around
flu
and
the
virus
as
being
almost
a
explosion
of
two
things
together
that
are
greater
than
either
of
them
separately.
So
those
are
just
two
things
I'd
like
to
actually
try
to
monitor
on
a
regular
basis.
C
Yes,
yes,
thank
you,
a
question
for
the
manager
in
terms
of
operations.
I
think
it
both
won't
lie.
The
mayor
was
just
referring
to,
given
that
we
don't
know
what
further
support
cities
will
get
in
the
federal
government
and
understanding
that
this
virus
is
coming
waves.
You
know
we
made
the
date
if
there's
going
to
be
a
second
wave
or
just
an
extended
first
wave,
but
what
kind
of
considerations
are
you
taking
in
anticipation
of
perhaps
going
into
another
lockdown
similar
to
how
we
started
this,
but
in
even
a
more
fragile
revenue
state?
C
K
I,
wouldn't
call
it
a
great
question:
I,
wouldn't
call
it
a
rainy
day
fund,
but
we
are
in
what
we're
doing
and
I
know.
This
may
sound
top
we're,
assuming
that
there
is
no
vaccination
in
the
summer
or
in
the
fall
or
in
the
winter,
and
we're
into
2021
much
like
what
we're
where
we
are
now
and
that's
every
drill
that
we're
running
with
every
department.
So
what
that
said,
a
lot
of
what
we
need
to
do
is
think
beyond
December
30th,
even
though
these
funds
are
earmarked
in
that
period
of
time.
K
So,
if
I'm
beyond
that
period,
what
are
some
of
the
investments
and
I
think
that's
the
key
word.
What
are
some
of
the
investments
that
we
can
make
today?
That
can
help
us
weather
the
storm
weather?
The
storm
is
a
six
month.
Nine
one
two
year,
storm
right,
so
everything
that
we're
doing
is
trying
to
glean
what's
happening
across
the
country
and
how
are
people
making
good
investments
so
we're
not
trying
to
plug
just
holes
with
this,
but
thinking
about
it
more
in
the
long
term.
G
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
I.
Thank
you
so
much
mr.
manager
for
your
attention
and
focus
to
this.
This
is
something
that
I
think
that
has
been
very
much
needed
within
the
community.
I
I
agree
with
you
wholeheartedly
do
without
that
need
by
the
way
I
had
two
questions.
The
first
question
is
when
you
say
this
is
something
that
we're
going
to
so
that
that
50
million
in
the
35
and
the
15
when
you
say
this,
is
something
that
we're
going
to
immediately
address
yeah.
G
Does
that
mean,
within
that
context
of
the
30
days
that
you
were
speaking
about
before
and
even
within
that
context,
so
that
30
days
or
are
you
saying
that
that's
gonna
come
before
us
as
a
council
or
from
vote,
or
is
that
gonna
be
recommendation
or
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
at
is?
What
timeline
are
we
looking
at
with
with
that?
You
know
that
immediate,
addressing
the
need
that
you
had
mentioned.
K
Well,
thank
you
so
capsule
member
Newton
I,
look
at
the
35
million,
that's
associated
with
small
business
and
the
15
million.
That's
associated
with
housing
is
immediate
as
immediate
as
the
task
force
and
council
committees
and
the
council
can
come
together
and
find
ways.
That's
best
utilize
that,
given
the
rules
that
are
in
place-
and
there
are
some
principles
that
I
did
I
also
put
in
the
memo,
but
this
is
now
much
like
the
budget
is
in
your
hands
this
allocation.
K
G
Was
so
appreciative
to
of
the
hard
work
of
the
Economic
Development
Department
the
work
of
the
Economic
Development
Committee,
with
its
survive
and
thrive
approach,
particularly
on
the
survive
side,
because
I
know
that
many
businesses
feel
like
right
now,
they're
just
barely
getting
by,
if
not
doing
all
the
hinges
to
survive,
so
I
think
the
sooner
that
we
can
deliver
that
type
of
relief,
the
better.
My
second
question
was:
is
there
a
deadline?
So
it's
my
understanding
that
if
we
don't
use
these
funds,
they
revert
back
to
the
federal
government.
Is
that
correct?
G
K
Yes,
mr.
Newton,
there
is
a
deadline
of
December
30th.
However
I
won't
say.
However,
what
that
said,
what
constitutes
a
expenditure
of
the
fun
and
that's
something
that
our
CFO
is
talking
with
CFOs
across
the
country
for
clarification
on
that?
What
I
am
recommending?
Is
that
a
if
you
will
a
second
allotment,
which
is
about
20
million,
as
it
relates
to
small
business
in
the
housing
and
another,
almost
15
million
dollars?
R
And
it's
really
smart
to
direct
the
funding
to
the
work
of
the
task
force,
ie,
the
airport,
ozzie
and
specifically
the
small
business
task
force.
I,
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
sense
and
it
demonstrates
the
patience
of
a
marathon
runner
that
we're
not
spending
it
all
right
now
that
we
are
literally
kind
of
phasing
it
out
timing,
it
out
with
an
immediate
need
right
now,
so
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
sense.
R
I,
look
forward
to
having
further
discussions
with
the
mayor
and
council
members
in
terms
of
coming
to
a
final
vote.
Our
conclusion
in
terms
of
how
the
dollars
I
will
be
utilized
will
be
forward.
My
question,
though,
is
in
reference
to
the
government
operations
specifically
about
the
RNC
and
Ann
in
general,
about
the
18o,
so
other
tourism
related
conventions
that
are
at
least
on
the
books
for
Charlotte
in
the
month
of
July
and
August.
R
K
K
Initially
we
have
not
I,
would
tell
you
that
we
are
I'm,
convinced
that
we're
doing
this
the
right
way
with
the
plan
that's
in
front
because
of
the
the
support
that's
needed
in
the
community,
but
as
in
the
memo
I
could
make
a
case
that
we
could
blow
through
that
155
million
just
keeping
our
employees
safe,
as
well
as
keeping
our
buildings
functional
and
clean.
So
so,
while
we
haven't
applied
it
to
the
arena
or
the
Convention
Center,
you
raise
a
great
question
so
I'll
make
sure
that
part
of
our
work
is
understanding.
R
Just
want
to
make
sure
that
someone
is
putting
a
plan
in
place
with
resources
attached
to
it,
that
that
making
sure
that
our
frontline
workers
are
working
at
public
facilities,
including
the
government
set
on
floors,
that
someone
is
looking
up
without
wealth
in
it
well
be,
and
certainly
that
requires
a
certain
level
of
resources.
Mr.
A
I
think
that's
a
really
good
question
and
I'm
wondering
how
we
can
get
mr.
Murray
to
address
it
because
they'll
say:
there's
economic
growth
from
that,
but
there'll
be
costs
to
make
it
possible
for
the
next
group,
as
well
as
the
group.
That's
currently
coming
in
I.
Think
that
might
be
something
for
the
small
business
community
group
to
think
about
as
well.
So.
I
Thank
You
mayor
I
was
just
going
to
comment
on
the
last
question
that
those
cleaning
operations
are
an
operating
expense
of
the
crba
they're
extraordinary,
but
it
should
be
possible
to
budget
for
them
from
the
proceeds
from
these
events,
so
I'm,
just
hoping
that
that
can
all
be
contained
within
the
economics
of
the
crba.
My
comment
was
for
one
mr.
manager.
I
Thank
you
for
this
response
to
the
expression
of
the
part
of
a
lot
of
members
of
council
that
we
really
push
hard
to
see
whether
or
not
we
can
access
some
of
these
funds
relief
and
I'm
sure
it
will
be
seen
as
good
news
that
it
now
appears
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
so.
My
question
to
you,
though,
is
if
we
go
through
the
taskforce
process
and
we
get
some
priorities
and
recommendations.
K
K
The
way
that
council
intended
it
to
happen
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
some
models
and
then
we're
not
trying
to
slow
anybody
down,
but
you
know
whether
it's
a
pre
audit
or
we
just
don't
know
right
now,
but
we
believe
that
getting
the
task
force
to
work
through
what
the
priorities
are
and
then
finding
a
vehicle
to
deliver
on.
That
is
what
we
should
be
working
on
now.
I
Right
I
think
there's
a
kind
of
a
triage
situation
we
need
to
think
about.
There
are
people
that
are
at
risk
for
their
housing,
their
businesses
that
are
risk
at
risk
for
failing
and
some
of
the
harm
that
is
created
by
that
could
be
irreversible,
so
I
think
here
your
challenge
is
going
to
be
to
find
an
equitable
distribution
of
funds
that
is
weighted
towards
the
needs
of
those
most
threatened
businesses
and
people.
Thank
you,
mr.
Angier.
Thank
you
are.
A
D
You
mayor
I
just
want
to
echo
what,
while
other
council
member
has
said.
Thank
you
so
much
city
manager,
particularly
for
the
35
million
dollars
allocated
for
the
small
business.
It
kind
of
fits
into
our
presentation
we
had
earlier
today
when
we
talked
about
survive
and
thrive,
and
so
thank
you,
circus,
getting
feedback
from
the
community.
H
H
Mr.
manager,
just
a
point:
we've
discussed
this
before
and
past
when
you
say
economic
support
mean
to
allotments
and
you
break
out
small
business
and
housing.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
go
meat,
think
about
economic
support
and
small
business,
we
don't
lose
our
sights
also
on
the
other
critical
element
to
be
jump-starting
this
this
economy
locally,
which
is
workforce.
So
as
long
as
we're
all
in
agreement,
there
I
think
what
we're
looking
at
right.
There
is
a
really
good
start,
I
think.
K
A
It's
also
important
for
those
people
that
may
not
be
able
to
go
back
to
their
small
business
they're
going
to
have
to
find
a
place
to
be
employed
and
I
think
those
anything
that
we
can
do
to
create
jobs
that
actually
pay
well
in
a
way
that
people
would
be
able
to
manage.
We've
seen
the
impact
of
wage
disparity
in
this
during
this
time,
and
it's
something
that
workforce
development
and
training
can
certainly
help
us
overcome.
B
First,
mr.
Bukhari
I
preferred
the
green
lights,
but
the
blue
is
is
good
too
so
yeah,
first
of
all,
Thank
You
mr.
manager
for
all
the
thought
you've
put
into
how
these
funds
would
be
divided
up
and
and
having
the
space
to
be
able
to
think
about
the
future
and
I
do
agree
that
we
need
to
hold
back
on
some
of
that
to
really
be
prepared,
for
you
know,
what's
to
come
two
weeks
from
now,
much
not
much
less
two
months
from
now.
B
I
do
want
to
just
ask
that
you
know,
while
we're
working
hard
and
putting
trying
to
put
a
framework
in
place
for
the
use
of
the
funds.
In
our
case
on
the
small
business
task
force.
I
would
ask
that
you
could
just
really
give
us
as
much
attention
and
love
as
possible
from
staff
in
terms
of
putting
that
vehicle
in
place
that
you
refer
to,
because
that's
really
where
the
devil
in
the
details
is
and
how
we
put
together
a
vehicle
where
one
doesn't
exist.
B
We
have
some
great
partners
that
have
helped
us
with
programming
before,
but
some
of
the
ideas
that
we're
discussing
in
our
task
force
are
around
ideas
and
concepts
that
we
haven't
done
before,
and
so
we
really
need
help
immediately
on
developing
that
vehicle
to
deliver
the
funding
as
soon
as
we
are
able
to.
So.
K
B
A
So
mr.
Jones
you've
done
a
lot
of
reporting
this
week.
Are
we
ready
to
proceed
to
the
next
business
item?
Our
next
business
item
is
agenda.
Item

amount
of
17,500
from
HUD
for
education
and
outreach,
and
it's

education
and
outreach
in
fair
housing
and
the
adoptive
budget
ordinance
appropriating
that
amount
of
grant
funds
to
the
program
that
we
use
for
fair
housing
in
our
city

I
have
a
motion
to
adopt
a

A
We

Charlotte,

be
offered
in
negotiations

I.
Have
a
motion.
Thank.
