Yesterday
Craig
came
in
with
his
eyes
dilated
and
his
big
glasses
on,
so
we
talked
about
him
being
raised
for
the
day
so
welcome.
This
is
our
FY
2020
23rd
budget
meeting
and
it's
our
for
our
FY
2020
budget.
So
we're
gonna
talk
about
anything
that
we'd
like
to
do.
In
addition,
we're
scheduled
I,
hopefully
hope
that
we
can
be
efficient
and
not
use
all
of
the
time.
Until
five
o'clock
we
might
be
able
to
actually
get
out,
miss
Mayfield
may
be
able
to
go,
get
her
claritin
from
the
clinic.
A
We
might
actually
see
some
good
weather
outside
for
a
minute,
so
there
I
what
I
want
it
to
do
anyway.
Don't
ask
okay,
she's
gonna
get
over
there
so
in
front
of
you
today.
The
questions
and
answers
from
the
May
22nd
budget
briefing
meeting
I
know
that
you
just
got
this.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
take
a
couple
of
minutes
for
you
to
read
through
it
and
just
let
me
know
if
you're
done
just
read
through
and
then
maybe
by
that
time,
massage
mirror.
Mr.
Edelstein
will
get
here.
A
A
We
continue
to
read
I'd
like
to
introduce
a
guest
that
we
have
in
the
audience
today.
I
like
Caroline
Nystrom,
to
stand
up.
Caroline
is
a
student
at
Providence
day
school.
Her
favorite
thing
about
school
is
the
that
she
really
likes
her
teachers.
I.
Don't
think
many
of
us
could
have
said
that
she's
going
to
be
attending
George,
Washington
and
her.
She
is
hoping
to
have
a
public
policy
major
and
then
she's
gonna
come
back
and
she's
gonna
try
for
one
of
our
jobs.
A
A
Caroline
we're
glad
that
you're
here
and
able
to
watch
public
policy
being
made
today.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay,
all
right,
two
more
minutes
or
so
I
think
we're
all
the
kind
of
people
that
used
to
read
when
they
said
hand
out
the
test
books
and
did
not
read
before
they
say
start
all
of
us
probably
read
before
you
start
page.
A
Okay,
so
we've
had
an
opportunity
to
I'm,
read
the
questions
and
you
know
in
our
process
today.
It's
about
anything
that
we
want
to
do
with
the
budget
so
that
the
man
manager
can
prepare
for
our
agenda
on
June,
the
10th
of
budget
ordinance,
of
course,
on
June
the
10th.
We
would
like
to
have
the
ordinance
written
in
a
way
that
they
can
get
it
loaded
and
ready
to
start
the
new
year.
A
I
think
that
most
of
us
forget
that
even
after
the
budgets
adopted
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
have
to
be
fed
into
a
database
so
that
we
begin
our
controls
for
the
new
year
and
wrap
up
the
end
of
the
last
year.
So
that's
why
I
do
the
10th
with
the
adoption
and
then
the
staff
takes
it
and
makes
sure
that
everything's
loaded
for
operations
on
July
1.
So
with
that,
we
are
to
talk
about
any
changes
and
I'd
like
to
recognize
mr.
Bukhari.
Thank.
D
You
not
a
mirror,
I
think
that
we
would
all
agree.
The
manager
has
and
staff
have
put
together
an
incredibly
strong
budget
this
year,
one
that
they
have
listened
to
us
for
months
and
months
now
on
individual
specific
topics,
challenges
they've
risen,
they've,
all
they've,
all
in
in
in
a
lot
of
folks,
opinion
I
believe
I've
done
a
really
really
good
job
in
inserting
and
infusing
that
in
there,
and
rather
than
risk
snatching
defeat
from
the
jaws
of
victory
here
as
we're
on
the
verge
of
what
I
believe
is
is
a
unanimous
budget
vote.
D
It
seems
you
know,
I.
Think
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
add
delete
process
have
a
lot
of
individual
worthy
causes
that
we
might
want
to
throw
in
there.
That
could
risk
that,
as
well
as
accidentally
enraging
the
community
with
questions
or
directions.
We
might
take
it
from
this
point
forward
that
we,
instead
of
fall
in
the
process
of
we
need
five
votes
today,
to
bring
something
out
of
here
and
move
forward
and
add
or
delete
and
then
six
votes
to
follow
that
to
actually
add
or
delete
it.
We've
had
some
conversations
offline
individually.
D
It
seems
that
we
have
at
least
seven
votes
of
people
who
believe
the
current
budget
without
any
ads
or
deletes
is
something
that
looks
good
to
move
forward.
So
I've
talked
to
our
legal
folks.
This
is
appropriate
to
to
maybe
bring
forth
the
motion
now
to
go
ahead
and
take
the
straw
vote.
That
would
enable
us
to
know
and
move
forward
with
a
little
more
advanced
time.
D
The
separate
discussion
that
we
need
to
have
today
on
the
MSD
decision,
which
is
not
directly
inside
that
our
budget,
but
it
is
a
separate
decision
that
has
to
be
made
so
I
would
make
that
motion
that
I
think
that
you
guys
have
helped
craft
for
me
early
right
before
this
meeting
to
take
the
straw
vote
now.
I'd
look
for
a
second
on
that.
So.
A
E
Is
it
doesn't
make
any
sense?
So
III,
don't
know
where
you're
coming
from
I?
Don't
know
what
the
fear
is
in
engaging
in
a
democratic
process
of
having
the
people
that
the
people
who
we
represent
be
able
to
ask
the
questions
and
scrutinize
it
after
you
have
spent
12
months
saying
how
this
is
the
time
where
we
should
be
able
to
do
that
in
depth
and
find
a
more
a
more
detailed
approach
to
the
process
where
you
want
to
cut
that.
D
D
A
Okay,
really
I
really
want
us
to
have
a
respectful
conversation
here
and
if
we
could
do
that,
I
think
that
will
carry
us
a
long
way
you
have
to
remember.
We
were
gonna
work
together
on
this
budget.
We've
done
a
lot
of
it,
but
there's
gonna
be
in
the
next
item
and
the
next
budget
that
we
would
work
on
as
well.
So,
let's,
let's
try
to
remember
that
about
it.
These
are
our
colleagues,
okay,
all
right!
Miss
Mayfield!
A
F
You
about
Amira's
mm-hmm.
There
is
a
challenge
in
trying
to
usurp
the
add
and
delete
process.
We
haven't
added
delete
process
for
a
purpose
also.
It
is
around
this
table
that
we
ask
questions
and
if
it
gets
to
a
place
where
you
cannot
ask
a
question
and
guess
that
the
opportunity
to
either
respond
with
the
answer
or
to
not
respond
for
us
to
make
a
decision
moving
forward
that
changes
the
whole
dynamic
I
do
think
it's
interesting.
That
colleague
would
suggest.
Let's
just
move
forward
with
the
budget
as
this
and
for
clarification.
F
It
was
two
separate
conversations
yesterday
and
as
an
elective,
it
is
our
responsibility
to
explain
to
the
people
that
the
funding
for
police
is
a
one-time,
and
since
I
was
the
one
that
made
the
motion
of
the
reduction
from
two
million
to
one
million.
There
was
very
clear
reasons
because,
when
I
asked
our
chief
specifically
how
many
officers
have
are
currently
changed,
how
many
officers
will
be
trained?
F
How
many
is
this
a
mandate
and
was
told
that
this
is
voluntary
and
we
don't
know
I
said
okay,
then
why
can't
we
use
1
million,
since
we
have
some
clear
needs
in
the
community
that
need
to
be
addressed.
Separate
question
was
asked
regarding
funding
those
conversations
and
then
I
followed
up
to
give
staff
the
opportunity
to
say
no.
This
is
one-time
funding.
Anything
related
to
salaries
has
to
come
from
a
line
I,
don't
that
has
consistent
funding
from
it
for
clarity.
F
So
it
is
our
responsibility
to
share
that
information
and
not
just
jump
on
the
bandwagon,
because
the
media
is
in
the
room
when
we
try
to
take
away
the
ability
for
people
to
have
conversation
around
this
table
and
or
to
eliminate
the
ability
to
have
ads
and
deletes,
because
there
are
clear
concerns.
I
do
not
discount
the
fact
that
the
manager
and
his
team
gave
us
a
great
budget,
but
this
is
his
recommendation,
his
recommendation
of
the
budget.
F
It
is
the
responsibility
of
Council
to
go
through
that
budget
and
identify
based
on
the
needs
that
we
see
in
the
community.
If
this
recommended
budget
is
going
to
address,
the
needs
that
we
have
all
agreed
upon
collectively
are
the
needs
in
our
community,
and
there
are
some
very
specific
needs
in
different
parts
of
our
city
to
even
encourage
the
idea
that
we
just
say
Oh.
This
recommended
budget
yeah
we're
just
gonna
go
forward
with
it.
F
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
have
a
process
in
place
that
should
be
followed
anytime,
that
that
process
is
attempted
to
be
usurped.
There
should
be
concerned
not
only
from
the
body,
this
body
and
future
bodies,
but
also
by
the
community.
As
far
as
what
direction
is
your
elected
body
trying
to
go
in.
A
B
You
merits
so
city
manager,
staff,
great
job
on
the
budget
I'm.
A
strong
advocate
that
this
is
a
great
budget
because
there's
no
profit
tax
increase.
The
issue
I
have,
though,
is
going
away
from
the
normal
process,
because
I
do
think
this
budget
need
to
be
tweaked,
and
then
we
give
you
a
policy
discussion.
We
should
have
opportunities
owned.
If
you
look
at
this
current
budget
there's
nothing
in
here
addresses
a
very
important
like
opportunities
on
that
we
all
passionate
about
and
so
I
hope
we
would
have
the
conversation
from
a
policy
side.
B
G
Councilmember
Mitchell
had
made
a
great
point
that
this
is
a
great
budget
kudos
to
the
staff
of
including
some
of
the
priorities
that
we
have
been
discussing,
but
to
take
away
from
this
Democratic
budgeting
process.
It's
not
a
good
idea
with
that.
I
would
like
to
I
had
asked
a
question
yesterday
about
increasing
the
non
intern,
temporary
part-time
employees
to
to
align
them
with
the
$16
hour.
A
A
I
Just
wanted
to
say
it
felt
like
after
our
last
meeting,
we
were
very
close
and
we
had
the
benefit
of
a
budget
that
was
more
organized
and
better
presented
than
we've
experienced
in
past
years.
So
I
think
the
idea
for
this
just
came
from
the
fact
that
we
actually
have
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
support
what
the
manager
has
done.
I
Frankly
and
again,
I
would
just
remind
that
yesterday
we
said:
okay
is
anybody
gonna
want
to
bring
up
ad
deletes?
There
were
a
couple
of
members
who
weren't
present,
but
yesterday
was
an
opportunity
to
tell
the
manager
so
that
he
could
be
ready
for
today
and
I.
Think
on
that
basis.
You
know
we
thought
we
were
close
enough
to
consider
this
proposal.
A
A
H
C
H
You,
madam
mayor,
apologies
for
my
tardiness:
I'm,
not
know
what
I
missed
him
you
met,
but
I
was
not
here.
I
do
think.
I
certainly
appreciate
process
and
I
do
think.
There
has
been
a
process,
but
I
don't
want
anybody
in
the
room
who
doesn't
know
better
to
think
that
there
hasn't
been
an
opportunity
for
there
to
be
dialogue
amongst
ourselves
amongst
staff.
I.
Don't
know
that
everybody
had
individual
meetings
on
the
budget,
but
I
know
everybody
was
offered
the
opportunity
to
have
individual
meetings
with
staff
on
the
budget.
I
had
one
and
so
I.
H
Some
of
the
ideas
that
were
floated
yesterday,
I
think
have
enough
merit
to
be
worthy
of
discussing,
but
I.
Don't
know
why
we
waited
until
yesterday
to
start
discussing
them.
I
guess
it
sounds
like
the
topic
is:
do
we
do
ads
deletes
I
do
have
bad
memories,
as
as
those
council
members
Riggs
of
last
year
us
trying
to
debate
them
the
worth
and
merit
of
various
organizations
that
I
think
we
all
think
are
worthy
and
saying.
H
Well,
we
don't
have
money
to
fund
some
of
them,
so
let's
take
up
down
votes
and
then
you're
voting
against
an
organization
that
you
think
has
a
really
important
meaningful
mission.
That's
I
hope
we
don't
go
down
that
path
again,
where
everybody
throws
something
at
the
wall
and
then
ask
their
colleagues
to
vote
yes
or
no
on
it.
And
then
two
months
later
you
get
accused
of
voting
against.
You
know
the
animal
shelter
or
whatever.
Well
we
don't
have
the
money
to
pay
for
everybody's
pet
project.
Then
I
think
it's
a
little
unfair
to
try.
H
E
C
E
E
B
B
Sometimes
we
get
elected
and
our
decisions
are
hard
and
we
don't.
We
don't
have
all
easy
decisions.
I
think
the
toughest
decisions
we
make
is
on
the
third
Monday.
We
talk
about
rezoning,
you
have
a
developer,
you
have
a
neighborhood
I,
never
like
to
call
them
winners
or
losers,
but
in
a
tough
decision,
you're
gonna
have
to
have
tough
decisions
in
the
budget.
B
You
doing
the
work
that
the
citizens
elect
us
to
do
and
so
to
try
to
find
a
way
that
we
don't
talk
about
a
financial
partners.
I
think
that's
a
violet
conversation
to
have.
When
you
look
at
those
partners
who
we
need
to
move
this
city
forward
and
if
last
year
was
tough,
I
got
news
for
you,
that's
the
way
it
should.
It
should
be.
It
should
be
tough
for
all
of
us
because
then
I
remember.
The
conversation
was
on
my
brother's
keeper.
I
was
adamant
that
I
thought
we'll
work
up.
B
Spending
$50,000
for
a
program
that
and
I
issued
as
important
to
our
community.
We
shouldn't
shy
away
from
those
conversations
and
I.
Don't
like
the
column.
Winners
are
losers.
If
I
do
like
the
column
partners,
we
need
that
we
think
are
very
valuable
to
our
city
I.
Just
don't
like
the
mindset
that
we
say
when
in
we
don't
want
to
have
tough
conversations.
A
B
And
I'm
just
gonna
wrap
up,
but
please
we
elected
two
years
to
what
to
do
a
budget.
It
is
a
tough
process,
but
I
think
we
can
work
collectively
and
decide
what
is
specialized
citizen.
This
is
the
last
piece
we
need
to
rush
through
because
it's
so
important
to
our
citizens.
How
are
we
gonna,
spend
money
and
does
it
match
our
priorities?
Thank
you
me.
All.
J
You,
madam
mayor
I
too,
had
thought
that
we
had
progressed
through
this
budget
and
read
through
it
and
given
the
manager
and
his
staff
direction
on
how
we
wanted
to
go,
that
it
did
appear
to
be
a
pretty
good
blueprint
from
which
us
to
move
forward
on
I
know.
We
have
processes
in
place
that
you
know
not
only
we
have
one-on-one
meetings
but
in
his
office
in
his
staff's
office
are
always
open
to
receive
comments
on
the
budget.
J
So
I
would
have
expected
that
everybody
would
have
used
those
opportunities
to
have
a
free-flowing
discussion
and
dialogue,
but
we
do
have
a
process
in
place
and
well
I'm
amenable
to
a
warning
to
more
or
less
streamline
and
ease
the
process.
The
the
fact
that
we
have
this
discussion
with
these
many
minutes
devoted
at
the
beginning
to
this
meeting
leads
me
to
believe
that
we
shouldn't
probably
just
go
forth
with
our
original
process
and
and
move
forward
with
it.
J
One
thing
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
don't
know
knowing
past
budget
cycles,
we
have
included
in
our
packet
our
15
budget
principles
and
I.
Well,
they
are
there
anyway.
Any
of
these
packets.
So
if
you
go
through
those
you
can
see
where
we
want
to
have
a
budget
process
that
was
more
like
a
deliberative
process
and
not
a
budget
scheme
where
we
would
use
one-off
things
to
try
to
satisfy
different
priorities.
So
you
know
I
know
I'm
the
poster
child.
Last
year,
I
made
a
flippant
comment
about
wanting
to
reduce
the
bike.
J
J
See
both
sides
of
it,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
almost
turned
into
a
you
know:
it's
starting
off
this
process.
We
are
late
in
the
process
in
terms
of
where
we
want
to
go,
and
it's
turning
into
a
divisive
kind
of
discussion.
That
I
would
think
would
better
be
served.
We
move
forward
with
our
process,
no
matter
how
cumbersome
it
is
and
and
just
go
forth
with
it.
So
so
that's
what
I
would
prefer
to
do.
A
A
I
I
just
want
to
suggest
maybe
what
we
could
try
to
get
done
today,
and
it
wasn't
meant
to
be
acrimonious.
We
don't
want
this
budget
to
be
acrimonious,
because
the
truth
is
that
were
actually
99%
in
agreement
and
that
should
come
across
so
I
I,
agree
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that,
but
what
we
can
do
perhaps
is
hope
today
to
get
the
straw
vote.
It's
done.
Would
that
be
too
much
an
abridgment
I
just
think.
We're
close.
I
Maybe
we
give
ourselves
some
time
today
to
discuss
and
we
look
at
where
people
where
we
come
out
on
the
ad
deletes,
but
let's
just
without
emotion,
try
to
reach
a
consensus
that
would
allow
us
to
have
our
straw
vote
today
and
that
would
be
kind
of
in
line
with
what
we
were
talking
about
without
causing
anybody
to
feel
that
they
had
been
excluded.
I.
A
I
think
that
mr.
Driggs
has
really
hit
on
something
in
what
we
have
done
often
is
a
five
person
vote
and
then
the
staff
being
able
to
respond.
But
yesterday
I
wrote
down
a
lot
of
the
questions
about
adds
or
deletes,
or
you
know
well
more
like
this
is
an
ad,
and
this
is
up,
delete
and
I.
Think
if
we
can
get
this
done
and
have
six
votes
to
move
forward,
then
we
will
be
ready
to
prepare
a
final
budget.
A
So
the
motion
has
been
withdrawn
by
the
motion
maker
and
the
second
and
I
would
go
ahead
and
say
that
this
will
be
the
time
that
we
really
make
proposals
for
ads
and
deletes
and
that
it's
with
the
exception
of
the
municipal
service
districts,
which
I
know
that
you
guys
would
prefer
not
to
sit
through
all
of
this.
But
we're
going
to
try
to
figure
out
exactly
where
people
are
and
what
we
usually
do
is
go
around
the
room
and
ask
for
ads
and
deletes
again
I.
Don't
know
how
to
invert.
A
How
I
know
that
some
people
had
asked
some
questions
about
asking
the
manager
to
help
with
something
I
hope
that
they've
had
a
chance
to
do
that?
So
when
we
give,
when
you
give
your
ad
we're
asking
for
you
to
give
a
delete
because
the
manager
has
a
structured
balanced
budget,
so
why
don't
we
go
ahead?
If
every
does
everybody
agree,
we
will
try
to
miss
Mayfield
I.
F
A
This
budget
will
be
on
a
public
agenda
now
there
will
not
be
a
public
hearing
again
because
we've
already
held
that,
but
there
is
much
room
to
have
your
comments
about
what
you
would
want
to
see
in
this
budget
and
how
it
does
it
or
does
not
do
it
on
June,
the
10th
so
I'm
going
to
actually
start.
We
said
that
we
would
go
in
the
order
around
the
room
and
and
with
respect,
allow
everyone
to
go
around
the
room
and
take
their
turn
I'm
going
to
start
with
mr.
A
Winston,
and
we
would
go
ahead
and
I
think
we're
gonna
have
the
budget
staff
list
out
the
ads
and
what
you
would
have
as
a
delete.
So
I
see
right
now.
We've
got
something
I,
don't
know
if
that's
valid,
that
was
from
yesterday,
but
with
mr.
Winston
and
restate
whatever
you
thought
about
yesterday.
But
let's
go
ahead
and
start
what
we
have
with
our
ads
and
deletes
mr.
Winston.
That.
E
Is
up
there
from
yesterday
and
since
I
was
able
to
review
the
mountain
of
information
that
we
were
given
a
few
hours
before
yesterday's
meeting
I?
Have
another
ad
I
would
like
to
add
bringing
Engine
Company
of
43
online,
both
in
January
of
2020
and
and
see
if
they
can
be
housed
in
station
12
as
their
that
info
fire
station
is
being
built?
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
heat
map
around
response
times
that
was
provided
in
detachment
1,
we
do.
It
seems
like
that
self.
Well,.
E
Think
that
seeing
the
growth
that
is
happening
there,
it
will
be
a
great
use
of
our
resources
and
it
is
necessary
right
now
and
it
will
save
lives,
and
that
is
our
primary
responsibility
is
ensuring
the
public
safety.
We
should
do
that.
I
have
a
question
regards
to
the
conversations
that
we
had
yesterday
as
it
relates
to
the
ability
to
to
get
CIT
training.
E
If
we
don't
think
we
can
do
that,
just
with
our
with
the
amount
of
money
that
we
have
potentially
appropriated
to
use
all
that
to
get
police
officers
there
do
we
need
to
come
up
with
a
larger
strategy
to
get
other
first
responders
trained
in
CIT,
for
instance,
a
fire
department
who
goes
to
many
different
types
of
calls.
It
might
be
able
to
identify
crisis's
beforehand
before
we
get
law
enforcement
in
the
deal.
Also,
I
would
like
not
to
see
that
CIT
money
go
away,
but
but
really
utilize.
A
Can
I
talk
about
that
for
a
moment
specifically,
you
know
I
said
yesterday
some
of
our
best
ideas
come
up
after
we've
gone
through
a
long
process
of
what
we're
doing
to
get
to
this
point.
I
think
something
like
that
is
a
fair
question.
I
think
the
thing
that
we
really
have
to
do
is
ask
the
manager-
and
in
this
case
the
fire
chief
about
these
are
ideas
that
we
have.
A
Are
they
valid
or
not,
so
my
suggestion
would
be
put
them
on
the
list,
but
in
terms
of
making
those
decisions,
whether
or
not
we
use
firefighters
for
CIT.
That
might
be
a
bigger
discussion
for
us
to
have
in
September
or
a
discussion
at
this
point.
So
if
it's
directly
related
to
something
that
we're
trying
to
put
flying
early
if.
A
E
A
Wasn't
looking
I
was
talking
about
the
idea
of
firefighters,
I
wasn't
talking
about
whether
or
not
we
would
spend
the
two
million
so
I
think
that
I
was
just
trying
to
get
to
the
point
that
sometimes
we
have
good
ideas
to
explore
and
they
really
require
some
effort
by
the
staff
to
be
responsive
in
a
way.
That's
credible,
so
I'm
really
I'm.
E
A
A
L
K
Always
been
under
the
assumption
that
when
a
council
member
has
something
that's
important
to
them,
that
they
reach
out
to
their
other
colleagues
and
say:
do
you
support
this?
Can
I
get
six
votes
on
this
and
I?
Don't
I,
don't
know
why
you
know
we
talked
about
council
salaries,
I
support,
council,
salary,
increases
I.
Think
we
work.
You
know
it's
a
ridiculous
amount
of
money,
I've
calculated
my
income
at
six
dollars
and
18
cents
an
hour.
K
K
K
A
Was
because
it
wasn't
I
would
agree
with
you.
Mr.
Winston,
let's
just
go
forward,
we
said
we
go
around
the
table
and
it
should
be
listed
all
right
anything
else.
Mr.
Winston,
oh
man,
all
right.
Mr.
eggleston,
do
you
have
any
ads
or
deletes?
Oh
I'm?
Sorry.
Would
you
have
anything
to
delete
mr.
Winston,
no
ma'am.
F
I
J
B
B
Mayor
I
add
a
$50,000
for
the
women
business
center
of
Charlotte
and
we
would
take
it
from
the
economic
enhance
economic
development
programs.
I
think
that's
a
perfect
fit
because
we're
talking
about
programs
that
are
good
for
our
community
women
entrepreneurs.
It's
definitely
key
mayor,
pro-tem
and
I
had
a
chance
to
go
with
any
programs,
and
we
didn't
realize
we
did
number
one
city
for
women.
Entrepreneurs
in
the
region.
I
don't
understand,
then
how
we
won't
support
women
business
center
in
our
community,
when
statistics
show
that
women
are
the
top
entrepreneurs
in
the
future.
B
A
B
No,
it's
just
women
Business
Center,
okay,
the
second
marry
Council
is
Junior.
Achievement
$35,000
for
joining
the
achievement
and
I
would
take
that
from
the
revitalised
business
corridors.
Junior
Achievement,
you
know,
have
moved
to
the
camp
no
fan
supported
by
districts
morning,
I
think
what
they
doing
is.
We
talked
about
doing
more
with
youth
and
the
CMS
I
think
that
could
be
a
great
relationship,
and
so
we
can
take
that
out
of
the
revitalize
business
corridor.
You're
sitting
right
now,
with
1.8
million
dollars
is.
A
J
A
A
Had
this
discussion
yesterday
that
we,
the
managers,
really
asked
us
because
he
has
presented
his
recommended
budget
and
he
is
saying
you
know:
if
we're
gonna
do
something
needs
to
be
aligned
with
the
budget
policies
of
not
recurring
and
non-recurring
operating
being
operating
revenues
now
I
have
to
say
yesterday
he
had
said
he
said
it's
a
look
at
that.
There's
$85,000
in
a
contingency
in
the
general
fund
I
would
say
that
that's
probably
a
better
choice.
A
B
A
B
A
M
M
This
budget
aside,
Bob
my
whole
conversations
been:
how
do
we
try
to
find
a
way
to
get
Phase
three
at
least
planning
and
design
in
line
with
the
Silver
Line
projects
going
along
with
what
John
Lewis
has
said?
Hey,
we
want
to
try
to
do
all
these
projects
together,
so
at
least
getting
it
up
to
the
point
where
there's
a
planning
and
design
planning
and
design
line
on
I.
O
M
Then
so,
if
I'm
on
page
I'm
on
page
243,
General
CIP,
it's
been,
we've
been
back
and
forth
with
John
Lewis
and
the
manager
knows
this,
and
we
said
what
gets
us
close
enough
to
getting
us
in
line
with
the
Silver
Line
planning
in
design.
He
said
it's
about
18
million
dollars.
You
started
with
five
and
the
ten
said.
Okay,
let's
get
serious,
not
eighteen
that
gets
us
to
the
optic
40%
per
so
I
think
would
be
a
lot
more
comfortable
with,
and
we
say
when
we're
talking
about
how
do
we
shrink
the
scope?
M
M
We've
got
a
kegel
available
cash
balance
of
19
million
dollars
and
no
one's
talking
about
that.
That's
not
good!
That's
not
a
bad
thing.
I
would
like
to
from
that
19
million
to
get
us
in
line
with
gold
line
phase.
Three
till
we
start
the
process
of
planning
and
design
for
our
phase.
Three
to
add
ten
million
dollars
to
our
already
8.8
Gold
Line
Phase,
three
reserves
to
get
it
in
line
for
for
planning
and
design.
F
A
M
P
N
Mayor
members
of
council
a
couple
things,
one
is
the
eight
point:
eight
million
dollars
that
is
in
that
reserve
for
the
goal
line
is
for
phase
three
game
set
match.
It's
that's
what
it
was
designed
to
do
so.
Over
the
years
there
have
been
some
accumulation
of
those
dollars
in
the
last
I
guess,
input
is
going
to
be
in
FY
2002.
Good
news
is:
there
are
dedicated
funds
for
the
design
of
Phase
three.
What
John
Lewis
did
was
he
tried
to
give
a
estimate?
N
N
N
N
A
A
Are
they
still
appropriate
when
they
were
set
I
think
15
years
ago,
so
how
the
reserves
look,
but
also
he's
got
a
financial
analyst
coming
in
and
saying
what
is
our
projections
for
sales
tax
and
what
are
our
choices
to
get
more
work
done?
I
think
that
the
real
question
in
this
community
will
be:
how
do
we
get
people
to
move
around,
and
that
means
completion
our
beginning
on
our
silver
line
and
finishing
the
goal
line.
A
I,
don't
separate
those
two
things
in
the
past,
the
Gold
Line
was
in
our
operating
budget
and
I
think
we
need
to
move
it
over
for
funding
and
match.
Just
like
we
do
a
silver
line.
I
would
hope
that
we
would
have
that
as
a
big
discussion
in
the
upcoming
retreat,
because
we've
done,
we've
helped
help
to
house
people
we're
now
working
on
workforce
development.
Apprenticeship
programs
was
our
third
priority
transportation,
getting
people
from
home
to
work
and
I.
A
Think
we've
got
a
big
decision
to
come
up
in
the
next
year
and
I
think
we
need
some
advice
on
it:
districts,
value
added
peace,
putting
all
of
this
together,
I
think,
is
necessary
for
us
to
be
able
to
be
responsive
on
transportation
next
year.
Just
my
opinion
and
I
would
encourage
us
to
look
at
this
holistically
and
every
aspect
of
it.
Mr.
Jones
did
I
miss
things.
N
M
Three,
we
talked
about
I
guess
so.
When
I
see
this
surplus
revenue
from
when
I
in
the
book,
it
says
there's
nothing
in
the
future.
First
for
the
revenues
reserve
reserve
account
so
but
in
the
question
answer
says:
surplus
revenue
from
vehicle
rental
tax
and
motor
vehicles,
placing
this
reserve
fund
for
future
needs
associated
with
the
project.
That
reads
to
me
like
there's:
no
future
revenue
coming
from
the
vehicle.
O
Dr.
Harley,
the
the
projection
for
the
operating
costs
of
operating
the
Gold
Line
phase,
one
and
Phase
two
are
what
we're
that
so
Pago
transit
Pago
account
in
those
out
years
are
projected
to
be
used
for
the
operation
of
phase
one
and
two,
and
we
project
right
now
that
it's
going
to
require
the
whole
amount
to
do
that.
That's
why
you're
not
seeing
additional
excess
value
going
into
the
reserve?
It's.
M
Q
A
G
G
Different
categories
when
it
comes
to
part-time
employees,
so
there
is
one
category
that
is
cost
to
increase
non
intern,
temporary
and
part-time,
and
that's
something
I
would
like
to
pull
it's
just
one
thousand
dollars.
Those
are
our
three
employees,
a
three
part
time
employees,
and
so
that's
on
question
number:
seven
and
the
nude
material.
G
I
I
N
K
K
B
G
Other
thing,
I
have
and
I
have
heard
a
conversation
about
this
with
budget
staff
on
cross
Charlotte
rail,
so
I
applaud
your
leadership.
Mr.
manager,
on
getting
fifty
four
million
dollars
to
fund
out
of
pay.
Go
cash
in
lieu
debt
refunding
to
come
up
with
the
segment's
four
five,
six,
seven,
eight
and
ten
and
eleven
still
do
not
have
any
sort
of
funding
in
terms
of
the
construction
we
do
have
funding
for
planning
and
design.
So.
G
N
So
callous
memory,
as
what
we
would
do
is
again
get
back
to
the
discipline
with
their
projects.
So
after
this
two-year
design,
the
concept
would
be.
Are
we
going
to
what
we
will
continue
to
close
out
projects,
but
projects
will
come
today
to
the
end?
Are
there
opportunities
to
use
those
close
outs
to
fund
the
last
two
segments,
as
well
as
any
refunding
much
like
two
of
the
putts
that
we
failed
this
time?
Okay,.
N
G
A
N
A
Iii
also
say
that,
because
I
think
design
and
right
away
and
what
I've
been
hearing
about
our
construction
industry
right
now
is
that
the
workforce
is
actually
very
difficult
to
bring
in
and
keep
that
we're
now
going
to
begin
competing
with
some
of
our
private
sector
folks
to
get
some
of
these
projects
done
because
we
don't
have
sufficient.
So
that's
a
testament
to
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
train
people,
but
it's
also
a
testament
that
we
really
I
think
really
struggling
right
now
in
that
workforce
area
and
will
continue
those
programs.
Okay,
all
right!
I
Wanted
to
say,
I
consider
the
54
million
for
the
trail
to
be
a
big
win
and
I
hope.
Everybody
perceives
this
such
I'm,
actually
not
completely
happy
I
think
that
money
should
have
been
prioritized
alongside
all
of
our
other
capital
needs
that
I'm
going
to
bow
to
the
inevitable
I
want
us
to
be
unanimous
and
I
have
no
ad
deletes
okay.
A
E
E
E
34,000
for
charlotte-mecklenburg
government
center
rent
for
funds
used
for
building
rent,
which
in
unoccupied
areas
we
should
be
occupying
those
areas
and
if
we
can't
do
it
and
we
can,
there
are
plenty
of
underserved
businesses
that
are
looking
for
places
to
do
business.
We
should
open
it
up
to
them.
E
F
A
E
O
A
Q
On
the
so
on
the
the
building
rents
and
on
unoccupied
areas
is
what
you're
saying
Phil
that
we're
locked
in
with
leases
with
these.
These
are
these
landlords,
for
that
I
guess
for
lack
of
a
better
way
of
putting
an
end,
and
we
would
be
out
this
money
anyway.
If
we
were
to
somehow
back
out
of
this
or
be
opening
ourselves
up
to
some
sort
of
legal
liability.
O
Q
There
a
way
so
for
future
reference
or
future
purposes,
is
there
a
way
to
to
councilmember
Winston's
point?
Is
there
a
way
that
that
we
could
sublet
some
of
these
if
they
aren't
unoccupied
for
our
purposes
in
the
future?
To
maybe
not,
you
know
have
this
this
short
coming
next
year
or
in
the
you
know,
coming
years,
I'm.
O
G
A
Next
year,
I
think
would
better
be
able
to
be
clarified,
yeah
right
now,
so
we've
got
approximately
five
or
six
items
up.
There,
I
think
five
items
up
there
for
vote
and
what
we'd
like
to
have
is
six
votes
to
carry
it
forward
so
I'm,
not
if
there
are
any
other
ads
or
deletes.
Okay,
anybody
have
a
question
because
right
now
the
only
delete
that
we
really
have
is
the
85,000
for
the
reserved
and
the
the
reduced,
the
accelerated
police
training
for
c
TI
training,
and
I
think
that
that
was
to
train.
Q
A
N
So
mayor
members
of
council
and
one
of
your
q
and
A's
I
think
they've
been
three
of
them,
but
what
we
tried
to
do
is
give
you
a
breakdown
of
the
types
of
training
that
would
occur
and
we
tried
to
do
it
in
terms
of
police
officers
based
on
so
many
hours
of
training.
So
if
you
gave
all
police
officers
40
hours
of
training,
yes,
it
would
be
I
think
2.5
million
if
I
got
that
right.
N
So
what
we
tried
to
do
is
use
what
the
chief
wanted
to
do
with
this
money
in
terms
of
four
types
of
training.
Okay,
so
it's
refresh
all
currently
trained
CIT
officers.
It
is
to
offer
additional
capacity
for
police
officers
to
become
fully
CIT
certified.
It's
provide
an
eight-hour
tactical
medical
for
first
responders
course
for
the
majority
of
police
officers
and
to
allow
for
additional
culture
proficiency
training.
That
alone
will
oversubscribe
the
two
million.
So
the
concept,
that's
why
we
put
money
into
FY
21,
another
million
dollars
how
he
goes
about
doing
it,
I
think.
N
A
A
A
F
In
direct
response
to
that,
and
the
reason
why
my
recommendation
was
for
the
funding
to
come
from
this
1
million
it's
because
as
the
manager
mentioned,
that
is
the
hope,
and
that
is
if
all
the
officers
were
to
get
40
hours
of
training.
When
we
when
this
was
first
proposed-
and
we
asked
very
direct
questions,
we
were
told
one,
it's
voluntary,
so
it's
not.
We
don't
know
that
all
officers
are
going
to
go
through.
The
training.
F
I
also
asked
how
many
current
officers
do
we
have,
because
if
we
already
have
officers
that
went
through
CIT
training,
if
we're
talking
about
identifying
money
to
retrain
you
or
what
you
in
theory
have
already
been
trained
on.
That's
a
challenge.
I
also
asked
how
many
officers
do
are
we
actually
looking
at
because
it
is
voluntary?
So
the
reason
I
made
the
recommendation,
because
this
is
and
Elise.
F
If
and
we're
just
gonna
Pat
this
two
million
to
cover.
If
all
of
our
officers
now
there
was
clearly
a
plan
to
ensure
all
of
our
officers
was
going
through.
That
would
have
been
a
very
different
conversation
that
is
not
which
what
was
shared
it
wasn't
shared.
When
we
sat
in
this
room
and
I
asked
the
questions
Denise.
Initially,
it
wasn't
shared
when
I
sat
in
the
room
with
Councilman
Newton
and
we
had
I
one-on-one.
F
So,
therefore,
if
you
could
not
tell
me
specifically
because
there
is
a
lot
of
funding
that
we
have
identified
and
we
have
allocated
for
multiple
CRPD
trainings
in
the
report
that
we
received
today,
we
received
an
update
asking
regarding
the
monitors
regarding
the
question
of
what
how
that
was
supposed
to
play
out.
So
the
idea
again
impact
your
intent.
So
the
intent
may
be
this.
F
A
N
H
F
And
how
many
staff,
just
like
we
know
with
police
training,
we
can
only
get
eighty
to
boom
the
academy.
What
is
that
funding?
How
do
we
market
I
was
trying
to
keep
us
as
close
to
the
budget
of
what
is
needed
as
possible,
opposed
to
just
having
extra
money
sitting
out
there
and
then
come
back
a
year
or
so
later?
No
council
has
absolutely
no
idea
what
conversations
well
and
where
and
there's
a
request
for
additional,
but
you
haven't
really
shown
how
the
initial
was
allocated.
I
I
Correct
but
I'm
just
saying
that
the
the
crisis
intervention
topic
is
such
that,
if
it
looks
like
we
are
not
fully
funding
that
I'd
be
really
concerned,
and
also
I
just
want
the
chief
to
make
the
decision
about
how
to
run
a
police
department
and
for
us
to
kind
of
support
him
in
that
and
I.
And
therefore
I
would
not
be
in
favor
of
deleting
that
funding.
A
Q
So,
to
maybe
clarify
a
point
I'm
actually
in
favor
of
the
two
million
of
funding
I
think
I
I
misunderstood
where
we
were
suggesting
a
million
coming
from
yesterday.
Having
said
that,
I
think
we
have
identified
crisis
intervention
training
in
the
community
as
a
need.
I
think
we've
made
a
commitment
with
the
CPC
ort
program.
To
that
end,
I
I
feel,
like
you
know,
this
is
something
I've
advocated
for
personally
and
I'm,
all
in
favor
of
us
identifying
other
revenue
sources,
particularly
when
you
know
when
we
need
what
we
know.
Q
A
F
F
So
we
also
have
a
community
that
has
seen
most
recently
an
individual
after
we
had
a
long
conversation
about
expanding
about
us,
approving
a
$600,000
grant
with
the
company
that
we
say
we
have
already
been
working
for
and
working
with
for
years
regarding
identifying
distressed
situations
and
yet
what
can
appear
to
be
a
distressed
situation,
those
services
nor
that
training
was
utilized.
Then
we
have
another
incident
and
that
incident
resulted
in
lives
taken
and
multiple
lives
wounded
and
that
individual
is
arrested.
F
F
So
if
you
cannot
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
once
we
approve
whatever
we
approve-
and
it
goes
in,
there
is
very
little
conversation
that
we
have,
but
as
soon
as
something
happens
in
the
community,
it
is
us
that
the
community
looks
to
to
ask.
Well
if
you
funded,
X
&
Y
help
me
help,
explain
Z,
we
are
the
ones
that
are
accountable
for
that.
So
there
is
I
want
to
make
sure.
There's
no
misunderstanding:
it
is
not
a
question
of
whether
or
not
the
CIT
training
or
any
training
is
needed.
F
Yes,
I
believe
the
training
is
needed,
but
I
also
believe
that
training
should
be
enforced
and
when
it's
a
subjective,
training
of
who
should
take
it
or
who
says,
hey,
yeah,
I
think
I
want
to
do
that.
That's
a
very
different
conversation.
So
that
is
why
I
say
this
money,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
clarity
around
the
table
as
to
why
this
million
was
identified.
It
is
not
about
supporting
the
training.
We
meet
the
training.
F
We
need
a
lot
of
training
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
those
funds
are
utilized
to
actually
implement
those
trainings
so
that
we
don't
have
another
conversation
where,
after
the
fact,
what
we're
told
and
what
the
community
is
told.
Oh,
that
officer
didn't,
have
proper
training
when
everyone
should
have
it.
Okay,.
D
D
Mpd
officers
out
there
know
that
when
these
headlines
come
up,
it
does
not
reflect
how
the
majority
in
this
city
and
the
leaders
in
the
city
feel
about
you,
nor
how
we
feel
about
the
budget
process
and
giving
the
chief
needs
and
then
I
would
just
like
before
we
go
forward.
I
mean
to
know
if
the
chief
has
any
kind
of
view
or
comment
that
he'd
like
to
make,
since
this
is
his
budget
that
he's
proposed,
and
we
put
so
much
faith
and
trust
and
were
thankful
that
he's
actually
here.
Ok,.
K
K
If
we
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
everything
that
comes
out
of
these
conversations
when
there's
an
incident
is
we
need
our
officers
to
be
trained
and
we
need
to
give
them
the
resources
to
get
them
all
trained.
So
I'd
rather
give
them
the
money
and
then
say:
let's,
let's
hear
more
about
how
you're
training
them
who's
getting
trained,
and
you
know
what
we
might
be
missing.
Mr.
J
J
C
N
N
We
talked
about
40
hours
of
CIT
training
and
what
he
is
proposing
now
is
not
just
that
and
even
back
then
we
got
hung
up
on
the
40
hours
of
CIT
training,
as
opposed
to
what
I
think
is
just
as
important
the
cultural
proficiency
training
and
the
tactical
medical
for
first
responders.
So
everybody
is
going
to
get
training
different
levels
of
it
and
that
that's
the
concept.
N
A
So
I
would
say:
let's
go
through
the
list
and
then
see
where
we
are
so
the
first
thing:
six
folks
to
carry
it
forward
for
the
June
10th
10th
adoption
I'm.
The
first
item
with
let's
start
from
the
bottom
number:
six
expand
the
city's
tree
assistance
program
by
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
I.
Think
in
this.
In
today's
Q&A
there
was
the
responsive
response,
questions
about
the
tree
assistance
program
and
how
much
money
and
we
were
spending
on
the
urban
forests.
Okay
of.
F
Course
you
know
clarification,
yes,
where's
the
delete
well
there.
This
is,
if
we're
going
to
in
order
to
have
for
us
to
move
forward,
and
do
this
conversation
correctly.
If
this
is
an
and
Elise
any
of
the
apps
has
to
have
a
delete,
they
go
along
with
it.
So
if
we
don't
have
a
delete
up
there
to
know
to
be
able
to
all
see
what
project
or
what
program
program
are
we
saying
we're
going
to
reduce
funding
phone?
We
can't
really
have
this
conversation
right.
A
Alright,
there's
mr.
dr.
Harlow,
all
right
so
miss
may
feel
is
saying
in
our
process.
You
had
to
have
an
ad
under
delete
and
if
you
don't
have
that,
then
the
only
one
that
would
be
eligible
for
a
vote
would
be
to
reduce
this
police
training
and
create
the
collaborative
initiative.
And
then
dr.
Harlow
had
a
comment.
H
M
Okay,
well,
fair
enough,
so
let's
I'm
the
mirror
and
and
Winston
says
we're
looking
for
all
the
three
cuz
I
support.
All
of
these
actually
I've
the
tree.
The
tree
starts
you
so
375
and
we
look
on
the
list
and
say:
okay
I'm
on
page
242,
because
that's
basically
what
we
have
to
work
off
of
is
that
page
I
feel
like
we're
spinning
in
circles
here.
So,
let's
just
let's
look
and
say:
okay!
Well,
we
don't
want
to
take
it
from
the
police.
Let's
look
from
something
else,
so
we're
looking
for
$375,000.
M
G
A
A
M
So
when
I
look
at
when
you
go
into
the
deeper
dive
on
the
pay-go
economic
development,
we've
got
a
lot
of
economic
development
projects.
Project
piece,
2.0,
m,
WS,
b
capacity
increases
new
west
side,
new
side,
collaborative
service
districts,
we'd
be
adding
another
one
here
on
the
lower
on
the
lower
southwest
side.
K
D
A
A
N
A
B
Just
I
think
dr.
hollows
going
the
right
place,
but
my
recommendation
would
be
the
250,000
for
Nick
Tucker
Caesar
nation
for
should
come
out
the
rebound
business
corridors
I
just
want
to
make
sure
what
we
do
lines
up
with
our
part.
Is
it's
actually
1.8
all
right
in
that
bucket,
so
Sabrina
correct
me
and
I
101
in
the
business
corridors
1.8
in
there
this
year,
correct
that's.
C
K
F
A
B
F
Was
my
leak?
Well,
I
was,
as
I
was
looking
at
it
initially
as
a
pilot
for
looking
at
how
we
make
very
specific
investments
from
Tuck
the
season
they
support.
I
wasn't
necessarily
trying
to
match
the
five
hundred
thousand.
They
capped
Northey
in
other
areas,
because
that's
much
more
established
at
this
point
so.
M
M
F
Q
Got
a
question
on
the
revitalize
business
corridor,
so
my
question
is
this:
if
we're
talking,
if
the
revitalize
business
corridor
are
our
opportunities
zones,
you
know
there
are
opportunities
zones
that
are
just
as
much
on
the
you
know,
test
Tuckasegee
nisshin's
forward
side
is,
or
you
know,
on
the
independence
sharing
a
MIDI
and
Albemarle
Oh
some
year.
Or
are
we
saying
that
that
we're
looking
at
the
revitalized
business
corridor,
money
that
would
go
towards
to
Tuckasegee
in
nation's
food?
Are
we
talking
about
all
of
it?
You've.
A
Can't
answer
mr.
Newton's
question
he's
asking:
is
it
specific
to
there
were
the
trade-off
for
the
collaborative
initiative
on
Tuckasegee
would
be
that
that
quarter
would
no
longer
be
within
the
1.8
if
you're
gonna
do
that,
you
just
say
that
the
collaborative
is
a
part
of
the
corridor
program
and
that's
what
it
would
be
used
for
if
that's
the
highest
priority
I,
don't
think
that
you
have
to
go
through
if
that
is
the
F.
The
answer
is
yes,
that
this.
Q
A
J
D
A
That's
alright:
let's
go
all
right.
The
first
vote
is
expand.
The
treaty
cities
trees,
the
expand
cities
tree
assistance
program
for
$100,000,
and
you
see
what's
likely
on
the
other
side,
we're
up
to
like
one
point:
seven
or
eight
million
over
on
this
side
so
expand
the
city's
tree
assistance
program
to
come
out
of
that.
One
point:
eight
and
we'll
go
back
and
look
at
it
in
designate
all
in
favor
of
expansion
of
the
city's
tree
assistance
program.
A
Please
raise
your
hands
one
two,
three
four,
so
that
would
not
pass
for
the
continuation
until
the
budget
work.
Alright,
so
the
tree
assistance
palette.
Would
you
like
to
pull
that
out
and
do
that
separately
now
sure
all
right
continue?
The
cities
tree
assistance
pilot
program
for
twenty
five
thousand.
All
in
favor
raise
your
hand
one
two,
three
four,
five,
six
seven.
So
that
would
go
the
next.
One
is
what
that's
we're
gonna
vote
first
and
come
back
and
define
we're
going
to
the
staff
has
a
couple
of
days
to
help
us
define
this.
A
M
A
B
A
G
A
Forever
so
that
over
to
the
operating
yes,
okay,
so
right
there,
we
have
no
changes
to
the
capital
or
pay-as-you-go.
So
now
we're
gonna
go
to
the
operating
all
right.
So
now
we
have
one
funding
source
over
here
for
$85,000
and
we've
got
several
items.
So
why
don't
we
start
with
increased
City,
Council
Mayor
salary?
All
in
favor,
please
raise
your
hands.
J
A
A
I
A
Right,
the
second
one
is
I'm,
bringing
online
station
43
online
early
I'm,
assuming
there's
a
date
early
for
that
would
be
six
months
or
so
six
months.
Okay,
all
in
favor
of
bringing
the
station
43
fire
station
43
online
early.
Please
raise
your
hands
one
all
right,
all
in
favor
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
operating
assistance
to
the
Women's
Business
Center.
Please
raise
your
hands
one
two,
three
four.
E
P
J
O
A
I
O
This
is
there
wasn't
anything
wrong
with
their
application.
The
financial,
the
general
fund,
discretionary
financial
partners,
are
the
discretion
of
the
council,
and
we
had
many
nonprofit
organizations
submit
an
application.
Junior
Achievement
is
another
one
that
submitted
an
application
and
again
the
proposed
budget
didn't
increase
the
budget
to
add
any
new
financial
partners.
We
only
funded
the
initial
financial
partners,
all.
I
C
K
B
Me
or
me
mm-hmm,
just
a
his
showing
this,
so
everyone
is
it's
kind
of
clear
why
this
has
been
a
passion.
Why
has
been
so
successful
for
us?
We
went
through
a
competitive
process
with
Department
of
Commerce.
They
were
looking
to
establish
two
business
centers
in
the
whole
United
States.
We
were
selected
through
a
whole
process
in
2015.
B
But
we
were
awarded
Charlotte
at
that
time
we
put
in
$50,000
to
help
them
define.
Now
the
numbers
have
been
successful.
We
city
staff
do
not
do
the
same
training
that
the
Women's
Business
Center
do
because
they
educated
developing
entrepreneurs.
Asheville
and
Charlotte
have
been
a
great
role
model
and,
as
we
talk
about
pride
and
economic
development,
what
are
we
been
preaching
about?
Entrepreneurship,
I
think
for
$50,000
we've
been
awarded
almost
four
years
ago.
B
K
I'd
also
like
to
add
to
that
that
one
reason
I
do
want
to
support
this
is
because
what
we've
discovered
in
our
mws
DBE
process
is
that
we
don't
break
down
women
of
color
out
of
women-owned
businesses
and
there's
a
huge
disparity
and
I.
Don't
know
mr.
Mitchell
might
be
able
to
add
to
this,
but
I
suspect
the
Women's
Business
Center
is
I.
Remember
when
we
went
to
the
opening.
That's
right,
it
really
was
supporting
more
women
of
color
and
I.
Just
I
think
it's
a
way.
K
D
K
D
I,
don't
think
anyone
would
dispute
the
validity
of
the
program.
The
the
problem
is
like
this
is
this
was
not
the
time
at
the
very
end
where
we're
making
a
call
around
the
table
without
a
diligence
in
a
process
every
one
of
those
applications
has
a
similar,
if
not
as
great
story
for
what
can
be
said.
Why
not
give
this
to
black
text
Charlotte
and
what
Cheryl
Cheryl
Dorsey
is
doing
in
the
exact
same
space
like?
How
can
we
make
this
decision
right
now
like
this?
D
B
A
A
J
M
A
B
F
A
J
A
No,
it
was
just
continued
in
the
location
would
be
decided
later.
The
first
question
is,
did
you
see,
would
you
like
to
continue
the
perhaps
pilot
program,
and
then
a
decision
will
be
made
on
the
neighborhood
I'm,
assuming
with
some
in
information
from
the
arborist
and
where
the
neighborhood's
were
I
think
this
is
just,
would
you
do
it
and
so
all
right,
okay,
I,
think
we've
already:
okay,
I,
don't.
C
G
So
the
reason
I
had
moved
it
from
the
capital
to
operating,
because
we
already
had
a
pilot
program
that
ended.
So
we
seen
success
with
the
pilot
program,
how
it
helps
people
age
in
place,
especially
the
residents
that
are
not
able
to
maintain
some
of
the
older
trees
because
of
hurricane
and
so
on.
So
this
tree
assistance
program
helps
with
that.
So
we
are
that
pilot
program
has
ended,
so
I'm
glad
someone
took
out
that
pilot
because
it's
not
a
pilot
anymore.
J
A
Don't
see
support
for
that,
so
the
Women's
Business
Center
out
of
the
we
do
have
one
source
of
continued
funds.
If
there's
$50,000
for
the
Women's
Business
Center,
we
could
take
it
out
of
the
eighty
five
thousand
if
council
so
chooses,
so
this
would
be
Women's
Business
Center
from
the
eighty
five
thousand
for
fifty
thousand.
Is
there
support
to
do
that?
Yes,.
B
A
C
A
That's
okay,
so
we've
got
a
majority
to
go
forward,
so
thank
you.
Everyone
I
think
we
have
a
balanced
budget.
We
have
added
the
women's
business
program
from
contingency
and
we've
I
think
in
terms
of
our
capital,
we're
now
at
the
special
revenue
budget
for
the
municipal
service
districts,
the
ones
that
are
contracted
with
Center
City
partners,
the
University
City
partners
and
I
think
where
the
user,
where
the
municipal
service
districts
in
the.
H
A
So
the
question
that
we
have
now
is
the
manager
recommended
a
revenue
neutral
rate
for
all
of
the
municipal
service
districts
I'm,
the
two
organizations
and
mr.
Phillips
had
some
questions
so
I
think
those
questions
need
to
be
best
addressed
to
the
two
organizations.
So
the
questions
were
verification
that
the
requests
or
what
was
the
vet?
What
was
the
process
used
to
get
make
the
determination
that
the
residents
in
those
districts
supported
the
increase
in
the
tax
rate
did
I
phrase
that
correctly
mr.
Gribbs
right.
J
They
surveyed
those
property
owners
very
large
that
we
large
contributors
to
the
image,
MSD
rate
millage
payments-
and
you
know,
and
and
pretty
much
through
that
survey
in
process
that
they
had
an
affirmative
vote-
that
they
would
in
order
to
sustain
their
body
of
work
and
fulfill
their
goals
within
their
MSD,
specifically
to
strengthen
safe
communities,
sustain
and
grow
additional
business
and
enable
transportation
options
and
aligns
with
the
community
goals
as
well
as
our
creating
strong
centers.
They
felt
that
they
would
basically,
they
want
their
millage
rate
in
at
least
in
the
university
system.
J
City
district
to
stay
and
its
current
point.
Zero
two
seven
nine
rate
and
they've
agreed
to
those
rate
payers
have
agreed
that
that's
what
they
need
to
be
able
to
sustain
their
programs
to
go
the
other
way
with
the
revenue
which
really
undercut
their
ability
to
be
able
to
support
their
program
of
work.
So
I'm,
generally
supported
and
and
I
think.
My
colleagues
as
any
other
MSDS
are
likewise
supportive.
These
are
people
who
are
asking
for
this
particular
rate
hike
and
agreed
that
it's
important
that
they
pursue
it
to
fulfill
their
mission
and
goals.
Do.
A
A
Have
to
ask
miss
heater
and
mr.
Smith
to
address
that
question.
I.
Think
that
that's
the
question
who
wants
to
go
first,
you
have
to
come
up
to
the
mic.
If
both
of
you
would
just
come
up
to
the
front
and
talk
about
I
think
the
answer
the
question
is:
did
did
you
hear
anyone
in
your
district
say
they
would
not
support?
A
I
P
Okay,
I
reached
out
to
50
property
owners.
Some
of
the
property
owners
had
multiple
properties,
but
I
was
very
intentional,
with
making
sure
that
I
reached
out
to
a
broad
cross-section
of
small
business,
retailers,
restaurants,
hotels,
major
employers,
undeveloped
land
owner
and
then
property
owners
and
of
the
50
I.
Only
had
one
person
or
one
company
abstain
from
providing
a
letter
of
support,
and
that
was
because
they
feared
because
they
were
appealing
their
property
evaluation
and
they
did
not
want
to
put
anything
in
writing.
So.
P
A
R
Went
through
a
similar
process,
what
we
did
is,
rather
than
asking
for
an
increase
to
MSD
1,
which
captures
all
of
uptown
or
MSD,
for
which
both
capture
a
lot
of
single-family
homes.
We
concentrated
ours
on
MSD,
2,
&
3,
which
are
created
to
focus
on
commercial
properties,
and
that's
where
we
asked
for
the
majority
of
the
support
there
for
the
support
for
this
increase,
and
we
spoke
to
all
the
major
employers
we
caught
the
majority
of
the
major
property
owners.
We
could
not
catch
everyone.
There
was
outreach
to
virtually
all.
C
J
A
J
Yes,
ma'am
I
did
I
know.
We
had
spoken
that
it
might
be
of
some
use
that
a
referral
be
made
to
the
budget
and
effectiveness
committee
that,
on
a
go-forward
basis,
that
we
would
set
forth
some
parameters
in
the
future.
In
terms
of
what
kind
of
outreach
we
might
want
to
see
parameters
in
terms
of
percentages,
we
wanted
to
see
in
terms
of
the
entire
mix
that
that
make
up
the
MSD
in
terms
of
informing
and
advising
them
of
any
kind
of
future
of
type
millage
rate
increases
in
the
future.
A
Alright,
so
with
that,
the
parameters
that
we
could
look
at
going
forward,
is
there
any
further
discussion?
Okay,
all
in
favor
of
the
request
for
the
increase
in
the
rate.
Please
raise
your
hands
so
that
will
be
included
in
the
manager's
presentation
of
the
agenda.
We
will
vote
on
the
tenth.
You
know
we
had
a
meeting
scheduled
for
the
29th
of
May.
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
to
close
meeting
and-
and
thank
you
very
much
room.
Oh
yeah,
I
can't
say
one
thing
we
have
a
massage
I'd
have
to
say:
we
have
a
budget
that
we've
been
talking
about
since
January
to
accomplish
our
goals
and
we
did
it
in
a
revenue-neutral
budget
and
tax
rate.
That
is
a
lot
to
be
said
now.
I'm
sure
many
of
you
will
say
that
as
we
go
out
and
talk
to
the
community,
but
I
want
to
say
that
I'm,
the
staff
there's
a
lot
of
credit.
