No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
A
Is
a
list
of
priority
projects
that
put
together
by
city
staff
share
with
the
mayor
and
council
at
a
recent
city
council
meeting?
It's
a
priority
order
that
staff
came
up
with
and
deputies
say
the
manager
hodge
will
explain
to
you
how
the
staff
came
up
with
those
priority
projects
or
at
least
a
priority
list
of
projects.
A
A
We
would
present
that
priority
list
of
projects
to
the
public.
We
would
receive
comments,
input,
suggestions,
recommendations
from
the
public
and
then
we
would
come
back
to
them
after
we
will
have
had
the
two
public
meetings
and
that
priority
list
might
change.
Based
on
what
we
heard
from
the
public
in
the
two
public
meetings,
we
could
add
some
things.
A
A
The
american
rescue
plan
50
allocation
that
we've
already
received
that
money
is
in
the
bank
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
process,
and
so
you
have
a
chance
tonight
to
share
your
thoughts
recommendations
concerns.
We
want
your
input,
you
can
call
any
of
your
elected
officials,
the
mayor,
the
10
members
of
council.
A
That
is
what
we're
going
to
do
this
evening.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
I
am
going
to
welcome
to
the
podium
our
mayor,
the
honorable
mayor,
skip
henderson
and
then
following
mayor,
henderson
will
be
deputy
city
manager,
pam,
hodge
and
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin.
They
will
do
the
presentation
this
evening.
Thank
you.
B
B
That
shows
you
the
kind
of
day
I'm
having.
I
need
an
attorney
after
that,
but
so
I
apologize
mr
city
manager.
Thank
you,
sir.
Now
I
do
want
to
add
my
thanks
to
the
city
managers
for
you
all
being
here.
It's
a
big
part
of
this
process.
I
mean
it's
been
a
tough
year.
It's
been
a
heck
of
a
year
really,
and
there
are
people
hurting.
There
are
non-profit
certain.
B
So
again
I
thank
you
for
being
here
and
and
if
you
hear
somebody
asks
you
and
they
say
hey,
I
missed
that.
I'm
the
city
attorney,
I'm
just
kidding
the
city
manager,
made
that
great
speech
tell
them
to
contact
their
council.
Tell
them
to
contact
us,
tell
them
to
contact
the
city
manager's
office.
We
we
desperately
want
to
hear
from
them,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
this
money
does
go
where
it
has
an
opportunity
to
touch
the
most
people
in
our
community.
C
C
C
C
It's
not
individual
revenue
sources
for
hotel,
motel,
tax
or
parks
and
recreation
fees
or
court
fees.
It's
by
total
of
how
much
was
collected
over
time,
and
there
is
a
formula
that
the
treasury
has
provided
on,
how
that
will
work
and
then
the
fourth
category
is
investments
in
water,
sewer
and
broadband
infrastructure.
C
C
So,
as
a
consolidated
government,
we
qualify
as
both
a
city
and
a
county.
Our
city
allocation
is
just
over
40
million
dollars.
Our
county
allocation
is
just
over
38
million,
so
our
total
allocation
is
78
million,
and
it's
coming.
In
two
increments,
we've
received
the
first
50
percent
of
the
city
portion
june,
7th
the
county
portion
june
14th,
so
we've
received
39.2
million
dollars,
which
is
our
first
half
the
balance
of
that
is
anticipated
to
be
distributed.
C
So
the
treasury
did
issue
what
they
called
an
interim
final
rule
that
was
done
on
may
17th.
It
was
open
for
a
comment
period
through
july.
16Th
that
has
closed
a
final
guidance
has
not
been
issued
as
of
now
originally,
there
was
a
frequently
asked
question
that
the
treasury,
provided
that
was
14
pages
to
date.
That
frequently
asked
it
was
18
pages.
Now
it's
42
pages.
C
C
It
does
outline
in
the
interim
final
rule
what
those
eligible
uses
are
and
provides
a
lot
more
detail
than
the
four
categories
that
I've
provided
to
you
earlier.
The
eligible
costs
have
a
specific
time.
Period
cannot
have
been
incurred
prior
to
march
3rd
of
2021
through
december.
31St
of
2024
has
to
be
committed
and
it
has
to
be
spent
by
december
31
of
2026,
so
it's
not
has
to
be
spent
tomorrow.
C
There
is
financial
reporting,
that's
required
with
this
a
lot
of
paperwork
and
documentation
that
must
be
maintained
on
every
dollar
that
is
spent
out
of
this
39
million
dollars
and
eventually
the
78
million
dollars.
So
we
want
to
be
sure
that
anything
that
is
spent
with
these
funds
meets
the
requirements
of
the
us
treasury
so
that
we
don't
have
to
pay
the
funds
back.
So
it's
very
important
that
we
follow
their
process,
so
we
solicited
originally
from
all
the
departments
within
the
city
government.
C
They
submitted
332
requests,
totaling
108
million
dollars
of
things
that
they
felt
would
meet
the
requirements
of
the
american
rescue
plan.
So
we
had
an
internal
team.
We
went
through
those
requests,
77
of
the
requests
or
almost
49
million
dollars
met
the
interim
final
rule.
So
these
were
needs
that
the
departments
submitted
to
us
and
they
did
meet.
What
worked
the
interim
final
rule.
C
60
requests
we
feel
like
are
probably
eligible,
but
we
want
to
wait
for
the
final
rule
just
to
make
sure
and
validate
that
that
was
about
23.6
million,
and
there
were
195
requests,
35.7
million
that
either
did
not
meet
the
interim
final
rule
or
had
already
been
funded
through
another
means,
either
the
annual
budget
process
or
through
the
cares
act
of
the
funding
that
we
received.
Initially,
we've
also
determined
that
our
2020
revenue
recovery
amount
is
3.5
million,
so
that
calculation
has
been
done
for
2020.
C
So
we
had
a
program
through
our
cdbg
program
through
funding
that
we
received
through
cdbg
and
we
partnered
with
startup
columbus
for
a
small
business
loan
pro
or
grant
program,
not
a
loan.
A
grant
112
000
the
grants
up
to
four
thousand
dollars
for
small
businesses,
one
to
twenty
five
employees
and
those
were
for
things
like
rent
your
mortgage
utilities,
employee
payroll
and
assist
assistance
was
to
continue
employment
to
low
to
mod
income.
C
The
eligibility
was
very
simple:
you
had
to
be
a
for-profit
business
current
on
your
business
license
1
to
25
employees.
You
had
to
have
a
physical
presence
within
columbus
and
been
in
operation
since
january,
1,
2020
current
on
all
your
taxes
and
again
to
retain
or
create
jobs
for
low
to
mod
income.
Individuals-
and
this
is
just
the
list
of
businesses
that
have
been
awarded
to
date-
that
four
thousand
dollars
right
wide
range
of
types
of
businesses.
Different
areas
of
our
community
have
completed
all
the
paperwork
necessary
to
receive
that
four
thousand
dollar
grant.
D
Thank
you,
deputy
city
manager,
hodge
good
evening,
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
again
just
a
little
bit
about
where
we
are
in
terms
of
the
garbage
pick
up
and
how
it
relates
to
the
arp.
D
What
we're
looking
at
and
what
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
is,
first
of
all
what
you
probably
already
know,
which
is
our
waste
collection
priority
and
in
terms
of
that
priority,
the
number
one
legal
requirement
that
we
have
as
a
city
is
to
collect
is
to
collect
your
household
waste.
And
that's
your
household
garbage.
D
That's
number
one
number
two
is
the
recycling
and
then
yard
waste,
and
then
last
is
our
bulk
waste,
and
I
want
to
just
share
with
you
and
a
little
bit
about
the
difference
in
terms
of
what
we
talk
about
when
we
say:
yard
waste
and
bulk
waste
yard
waste
is
defined
as
the
grass
clippings
or
the
leaves,
the
things
that
you
bag
and
or
those
things
that
you
containerize
again
clippings
and
leaves,
and
you
have
that
and
you
have
the
real
loader
truck
very
similar
to
the
truck
that
comes
by
that
pick
up
your
household
garbage.
D
That
has
the
inmates
on
the
back.
That's
the
truck
that
will
pick
up
that
containerized
waste
and
those
bags
they
will
cut
the
bags
opens
and
and
empty
the
leaves
or
the
lung
clippings
into
the
rear.
Loader.
Those
plastic
bags
cannot
by
law,
go
into
our
landfill.
So
that's
why
you
will
see
them
cut
that
open.
D
The
other
truck
that
will
come
through
is
a
grab
all
truck
okay
and
the
grab
all
truck
comes
by
in
those
the
the
big
piles
of
limbs
that
you
have
out
there
that
we
consider
yard
waste,
but
it's
a
different
truck
that
will
pick
that
up.
So
if
you
have
a
big
pile
of
of
limbs
in
your
yard
next
to
bags
or
containerized
clippings,
two
trucks
will
pick
that
up,
and
so
you
may
call
and
say:
well:
hey
they
only
got
one
pile,
they
didn't
get
the
other
pile.
D
D
D
Those
things
and
those
are
those
things
that
again
the
grab
all
truck
will
come
by
and
pick
up
with
that
automated
arm
to
come
and
pick
that
up
because
it's
you
know
to
have
people
in
the
other
truck
with
two
inmates
back.
They
just
can't
pick
that
stuff.
We
don't
want
them
to
pick
that
stuff
up.
It
takes
that
hydraulic
arm
to
do
that,
and
so
just
know
that
if
you
have
that
type
of
waste
at
your
home,
different
trucks
will
come
by
to
pick
it
up.
D
D
Now,
in
terms
of
the
resources
that
we
use
for
picking
up
waste
in
the
waste
management
division,
there
are
62
budgeted
positions.
Currently
we
only
have
50
of
those
positions
that
are
filled
now.
What
our
daily
requirement
is
for
pickup
is:
let's
go
look
at
household
ways.
I
need
26
employees
to
pick
up
ways.
26.
D
D
That's
the
50
that
I
currently
have,
and
I
haven't
even
touched-
the
bulk
waste
yet,
and
so
because
I
haven't
touched
bulk
waste,
keep
in
mind
the
50
positions
that
I've
currently
already
committed
in
those
three
categories.
If
someone
is
on
vacation,
if
they
call
in
sick
if
they
retire,
if
they
just
quit,
then
I'm
already
at
a
deficit,
and
so
what
do
I
have
to
do?
D
I
now
have
to
pull
from
the
categories
that
I
have
in
order
to
meet
the
commitment
for
household
waste
and
your
and
recycling
first,
so,
which
means
I'm
going
to
pull
from
yard
waste,
because
I
already
don't
have
anybody
for
walkways,
because
I'm
12
positions
short
and
for
bulk
weights.
I
need
12
people,
I
need
12
positions
and
I
just
don't
have
them,
and
so
that's
where
we
are,
and
that
is
why
bulk
waste
is
right
now
behind
five
to
six
weeks.
That's
our
reason.
I
mean
there's
no
other
explanation.
D
I
have
I
I
need
50.
I
have
62
positions
and
I
need
50
and
you
know
when
they
leave,
then
that's
the
deficit
and
right
now,
all
12
of
those
bulk
waste
positions
are
vacant.
We've
had
a
number
of
questions
to
come
before
us
and
I
just
wanted
to
had
some.
You
know
want
us
to
kind
of
explain
a
few
things,
and
the
first
question
was:
why
not
purchase
more
grab
all
trucks
in
order
to
pick
up
bulk
waste?
D
Well,
as
mentioned
you
know,
we
just
don't
have
the
bodies,
we
have
plenty
of
trucks.
I
have
12
trucks
that
are
less
than
or
right
at
three
years
old,
so
the
trucks
is
not
the
issue
the
bodies
are,
and
so
I
think
mike
crittel,
the
director
of
public
works
is
in
the
back
and
if
you
can
give
him
12,
the
job
is
done
right.
Now
we
have
zero,
and
so
again
the
trucks
are
not
the
issue.
D
It's
filling
the
positions,
those
vacancies
question
number
two:
if
we
buy
all
the
trucks
all
at
one
time,
then
we're
gonna
need
some
capital,
some
sort
of
capital
savings
plan
to
prepare
for
that
challenge,
and
our
plan,
as
I
will
show
you
in
the
next
slide,
is
a
three-year
approach
of
how
we're
looking
to
purchase
household
waste
yard,
waste
and
recycling
automated
trucks
and
then
to
also
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
keep
a
vehicle
replacement
schedule,
maybe
two
to
three
trucks
that
we
purchase
every
year
just
to
keep
our
fleet
healthy.
D
You
know
we're
going
to
have
to
have
that
plan
in
place
so
that
we
don't
get
back
to
where
we
are.
You
know
if
we
keep
doing
the
things
that
we've
always
done.
The
same
way
we're
going
to
keep
getting
the
same
result,
so
we've
got
to
do
some
things
a
little
different
and
that's
keeping
pace
with
that
vehicle
replacement
schedule.
The
other
thing
is
other
question:
is
it
appears
it
appears
to
be
a
lot
of
money
for
a
system.
We
don't
yet
understand
that
will
not
pick
up
waste
now.
D
The
lot
of
money
that
they're
talking
about
is
what
deputy
city
manager
hodge
mentioned
regarding
the
priority
in
terms
of
the
automated
trucks
and
the
carts.
That's
the
money
that
they're
talking
about
that
19.5
million
dollars.
Right
now.
We
use
inmates
we've
got
to
get
out
of
that,
the
the
business
of
using
inmates
for
waste
pickup,
because
right
now,
the
muskogee
county
prison,
which
is
the
largest
work
camp
in
georgia.
D
They
are
already
short
200
right
at
200
in
terms
of
inmates
that
we
would
typically
get
to
go
out
and
work
in
different
capacities
in
different
areas
within
the
city,
and
so
we
know
that.
That's
something
that
we
cannot
continue
to
rely
on
for
the
future,
and
so
we
do
use
inmates
for
all
parts
of
waste
for
everything
that
we
do.
D
As
of
june,
the
21st
helping
to
supplant
that
program
in
terms
of
picking
up
waste
yard
waste
in
particular
again
on
july,
the
27th
council
approved
once
again
an
additional
1.7
million
dollars
for
am
waste
of
georgia
to
assist
us,
and
so
now
you
see
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
and
council
has,
as
has
appropriated
these
additional
resources
so
that
we
can
get
out
there
and
aggressively
tackle
the
issue
that
you
see
every
day.
We
see
it
every
day
we
get
the
calls
we
hear
from
you.
D
D
We
may
get
one
or
two
trucks
of
you
know
here
and
there,
as
as
we're
able
to
feel
get
those
people
coming
in,
but
typically
not
very
much
so
the
newly
approved
1.7
million
of
those
five
trucks,
which
is
a
three-man
crew,
we're
gonna,
put
them
on
yard
waste,
just
like
the
other
five
are,
but
we're
gonna
remove
five
of
our
folk,
our
trucks
of
the
14
five
of
hours
and
then
we're
going
to
put
those
and
dedicate
that
crew
specifically
to
pick
up
bulk
waste.
That
way,
we
know
every
single
day.
D
Without
a
doubt,
we
have
somebody
out
there
picking
up
the
bulk
waste,
which
is
the
problem
right
now,
and
so
that's
going
to
help
that-
and
we
have
some
other
things
that
we're
working
on
to
help
hopefully
take
care
of
some
of
that.
Even
more
and
you'll
hear
more
about
that
now
back
to
the
plan-
and
this
is
the
purchase
of
the
automated
trucks
from
the
arp
funding
in
year,
one
we
are
going
to
be
looking
to
purchase
all
of
the
containers
for
yard
waste
and
for
household
garbage.
D
That
means
yes,
that
we
will
be
issuing
every
household
another
container
for
yard
waste
a
container
for
for
household
garbage,
which
means
you
will
have
an
opportunity
if
you
need
more
than
that
to
purchase
additional
containers
as
well.
You
can
certainly
do
that.
D
So
that's
in
year,
one
and
then
year
one
also
we're
looking
to
purchase
the
24
household,
garbage
automated
trucks
and
those
two
things
year.
One
year
two
we
will
purchase
14
yard
waste,
automated
trucks
and
then
in
year
three
we
will
then
go
and
purchase
two
additional
recycling,
automated
trucks
and
additional
recycling
containers.
D
Now
you
saw
earlier
in
the
in
the
presentation
where
I
said
that
we
have
20,
we
have
a
need
for
26
for
household
garbage,
and
here
we
only
get
in
24
trucks.
That's
because
park.
We
have
two
routes
in
in
bip
city,
where
these
trucks
cannot
navigate.
So
we've
got
to
continue
to
use
our
rear
loaders
for
those
particular
too.
So
that's
why
we're
looking
at
only
purchasing
24
and,
of
course
it
would
help
us
also
we're
looking
at
in
the
in
the
vehicle
replacement
schedule
so
that
we'll
have
spares.
D
So
that's
going
to
be
programmed
in
the
plan
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
spare
ratio.
So
in
summary,
we
don't
have
an
issue
with
grab
all
trucks
for
bulky
waste.
D
It's
the
problem
is
filling
those
12
vacancies
and
if
you
have
a
cdl,
if
you
know
anyone
with
a
cdl
who
is
interested
in
coming
on
with
the
city
of
columbus,
please
have
them
to
go
to
columbusga.org
complete
an
application
or
they
can
call
our
public
works
department
just
to
get
any
more
information
on
the
the
position
and
how
they
might
qualify
for
those
positions,
we're
looking
for
any
and
all
people
to
come
and
be
a
part
of
us
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
much.
C
C
Our
timeline
after
the
public
meetings
is
to
go
back
to
council,
with
an
update
with
everything
that
we
hear
this
evening
and
what
we
heard
from
the
citizens
on
monday
and
then
to
go
back
to
council
again
with
authorization
in
the
future.
We'll
go
back
on
august,
the
24th
and
have
that
discussion
again
with
council
and
at
some
point
in
time
they
will
make
an
approval
and
authorization
on
how
these
funds
will
be
allocated
again.
This
is
pending
receipt
of
the
final
rule
from
the
u.s
treasury.
C
We
feel
it's
really
important
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
to
make
sure
that
we
spend
the
funds
as
they're
intended
to
be
spent.
So
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
open
it
up
for
comments
and
questions.
So
please
come
up
to
the
microphone
so
that
we're
able
to
hear
you.
E
First,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
elected
officials,
mr
city
manager,
two
deputies
and
madame
director,
but
my
major
concern
here
is:
this
has
probably
been
18
years.
This
is
the
first
year.
I
think
that
this
government
has
an
opportunity
to
dispel
some
disparities
in
our
city.
E
E
I
know
this
is
not
school
district,
but
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something.
I
call
public
housing
today
and
ask
how
many
units
did
they
have?
They
have
roughly
2
400
units,
and
I
said
well:
what
is
the
percentage
that
have
families
with
children
in
them?
They
say
mr
broadway
is
about
60
percent.
E
Now
one
of
the
issues
with
broadband
and
public
housing
is
the
kid.
Last
year
they
got
these
little
mobile
hot
spots,
but
they
had
to
turn
them
back
in.
So
what
I'm
proposing
that
we
do
is
partner
partner
form,
a
partnership
with
public
housing
and
affix
some
type
of
permanent
structure
to
those
housing
units
that
have
family
members.
E
There
was
no
touch
with
the
outside
world.
There
was
no
place
to
fax
anything.
Now
I
drove
up
to
make
it
road
no
problem,
but
so
that's
one
of
the
things
I'm
looking
at
with
our
citizens,
especially
especially
those
that
are
in
public
housing.
I
remember
the
mayor
asked
me
about
what
can
we
do
to
help?
E
E
It
has
been
stated
that
before
covet
hit,
we
had
in
particular
african-american
males
were
behind
approximately
one
year
in
reading,
that's
just
a
baseline
and
with
that
by
them
being
having
that
learning
loss
that
was
before
covet
now,
it's
estimated
after
covet.
They
are
three
to
five
years
behind.
E
And
this
will
be
another
partnership
with
the
school
board
to
make
sure
that
every
student
that
attends
a
title
one
school
has
a
chromebook,
an
up-to-date
one,
not
the
ones
that
they
have
now
and
not
just
the
chromebook.
You
need
the
headset
to
go
with
that
talk
to
a
couple
of
educators.
They
need
intervention
teachers.
E
The
the
social
emotional
aspect
of
our
children
now
educators
have
an
issue
they're,
not
they're,
not
able
to
address
that,
so
they
need
intervent
intervention
teachers.
E
E
The
one
of
the
main
reasons
you
cannot
keep
drivers
is
because
you
don't
pay
them,
but
12
and
your
competition
pays
them
15..
So
you
know
just
just
looking
at
that
aspect.
That's
why
we're
losing
them
to
make
sure
I
covered
all
everything
that
I
had
a
couple
of
people.
Talk
called
me
today
and
talked
about
walking
trails
on
each
side
and
south
side,
simply
walking
trails,
not
next
to
the
river,
but
walking
trails
like
it's
one
from
my
house.
I
could
walk
a
half
a
mile
and
I'm
at
a
walk-in
trail.
E
So
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
brought
up.
The
last
thing
I
talk
about
is
veteran.
I
love
veterans,
columbus
flourishes
because
of
fort
benning.
I
don't
care
what
anyone
says.
It
flourishes
we
have
the
second
largest
contingency
of
veterans
besides
atlanta,
in
the
state
of
georgia
right
here
and
the
last
minute,
the
mayor's
administration.
E
E
All
I
had
to
do
was
fill
out
a
piece
of
paper,
but
those
are
the
things
that
veterans
need
to
know
about
in
augusta.
When
you
go
to
the
mall
in
augusta,
you
have
military,
has
a
certain
parking
spot,
that's
just
to
show
the
appreciation
for
their
service
again.
That's
all.
I
have
to
say
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
the
job
you're
doing
like
I
always
say
it
ain't
easy.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
mr
broadwater,
and
let
let
me
just
say.
Of
course
you
saw
that
we
are
including
we're,
including
broadband
on
the
list
of
arp
projects,
but
we
don't
want
to
stop
there
and-
and
I
want
to
pause,
to
recognize
our
city
councilor
john
house
for
being
here.
But
I
want
to
recognize
the
dean
of
our
delegation.
A
State
delegation,
representative,
kevin
smyre
for
being
here
for
his
commitment
and
dedication,
because
the
mayor
and
I
and
some
others
were
on
a
zoom
call
with
him
at
two
o'clock
and
he
was
sitting
in
atlanta
in
his
office
and,
of
course,
he's
on
the
governor's
ar
p
team
and
he
says
I'll
be
at
the
meeting
at
5
30,
and
so
he
obviously
left
his
office
and
he
drove
here.
But
in
that
meeting
that
we
had
with
him
at
two
o'clock.
A
We
were
talking
about
arp
and
we
talked
about
broadband
and
he
shared
with
us
how
you
know
their
their
committees,
of
course,
and
you
saw
it
it's
on
the
website
and
in
the
paper
about
you
know
he
is
serving
on
one
committee,
economic
development.
I
believe,
but
there's
broadband,
and
so
as
we
address
broadband
with
arp
dollars.
You
know
the
state
has
arp
dollars
as
well
and
we
want
to
go
after
some
of
their
dollars
to
further.
A
You
address
title
one
schools
and,
and
and
what
you'd
like
to
to
see
there
and
of
course
we
want
to
work
with
muscovy
county
school
district.
A
So
some
of
the
concerns
that
you
mentioned
that
are
school
district
related.
I
just
share
that
with
you
to
say
that
I'm.
I
am
sure
that
they
will
be
addressing
some
of
those
concerns,
but
we
will
partner
with
them
in
any
way.
We
can
to
further
address
the
concerns
that
you
shared
and,
and
then
I
want
to
just
say
that
I
know
you
mentioned
the
bus
drivers
and
pay
is
a
is
an
issue
for
us
not
just
in
in
columbus,
for
bus
drivers
but
the
school
district.
A
You
remember
last
year
they
had
challenges
where
they
didn't
have
enough
drivers
to
fill
all
the
routes,
and-
and
so
they
had
to
do
some
things
that
parents
didn't
like
and
and
I'm
sure
they
are
having
their
challenge
with
filling
driver
positions
right
now
as
school
is
about
to
to
start,
but
just
to
clarify
on
our
pay,
though
we
don't
pay
our
drivers
enough,
and
that
is
part
of
the
problem.
A
Just
as
you
pointed
out,
mr
broadwater,
I
mean
the
the
private
market
right
here
in
columbus,
they're,
killing
us
with
what
they
pay
their
drivers
versus
what
we
pay
drivers
and
that's
part
of
our
problem.
I
know
you
mentioned
12
an
hour,
but
we
pay
our
drivers,
fifteen
dollars
and
sixty
nine
cents
or
well
I'm
sorry.
Sixteen
dollars
an
hour
is
what
they
they
make
here
at
the
city
of
columbus.
A
But
just
recently,
I
heard
advertisement
on
the
radio
where
they
were
advertising
for
drivers
come
out
to
chicago
road
and
and
they
were
paying
21
to
23
an
hour.
Well,
our
16
an
hour
is
not
going
to
compete
with
them
and
they're
paying
benefits
and
their
full-time
jobs.
A
It's
something
that
we're
looking
into
and
and
then
I
heard
your
concerns
about
veterans
as
well,
and
there's
much
much
more-
that
we
can
do
for
veterans
and
we've
got
veterans
on
the
city
council,
at
least
like
I
know,
four
of
the
city
council
members,
you
got
john
house
pop
barnes,
toya,
tucker
and
mimi.
A
Woodson
are
all
veterans
and
there
may
be
others,
but
those
are
the
four
that
I
know
right
off
and
and
they
are
always
on
top
of
veteran
issues
and
so
more
to
come
on
that
and
so,
but
what
we
here
and
we're
recording-
and
we
heard
all
your
concerns-
yes,
ma'am.
A
F
I'm
nancy
glenn
and
I
live
in
oakland
park
on
sharon
avenue,
and
I
wanted
to
comment
on
the
bulk
waste
I've.
I
think
it
ought
to
be
handled
per
district
and
it's
multifaceted
like
I
like
that.
F
There's
no
fees,
but
I
don't
have
a
truck
like
the
things
that
I
have
put
out
to
the
curb
that
I
needed
picked
up
were
a
couch,
a
refrigerator
and
a
dresser
and
any
of
those
things
wouldn't
have
fit
in
my
car
and
I
don't
have
a
truck
okay,
so
you
know
maybe
making
a
truck
available
to
people
that
don't
have
a
truck.
That
would
solve
some
people's
problems
and
then
you
know
if,
if
you
don't
have
drivers,
but
you
have
trucks,
maybe
it's
that
they
don't.
F
They
can't
drive
your
truck,
but
they
they
have
a
truck
and
they
can
drive
and
maybe
per
district
three
or
four
people
in
the
area
that
are
willing
to
help
out.
But
it's
kind
of
multifaceted,
because
I
mean
I
like
that
I
would
have
took
my
things
to
the
dump.
If
I'd
had
a
way
to
take
them,
I
had
to
put
them
to
the
curb.
I
think
that
is
the
way
it
is
for
a
lot
of
people
and
then
sometimes
it's
just
so
much.
F
I
think
maybe
somebody
just
ran
off
and
left
the
house
and
then
the
whole
household
contents
are
sitting
on
the
curb
and
that's
a
different
thing
than
occasionally
putting
a
refrigerator
or
a
couch
or
a
dresser
out,
and
they
shouldn't
be
allowed
to
put
that
to
the
curb
without
scheduling
a
pickup.
For
that
you
know
I
there
are
some
changes
that
could
be
made
sure
and
alleviate
some
of
it.
Yeah.
A
Well
and,
and
let
me
say
that
we're
looking
for
all
available
options
and
and
and
the
deputy
city
managers,
they're
gonna
shoot
me
for
talking
about
this
and-
and
I
haven't
even
talked
to
the
mayor
about
it.
But
I
met
with
them
about
an
hour
ago
and
just
looking
for
every
available
option.
And
so
one.
B
A
You
know
you
host
our
truck
and
said
that
he
goes
around
and
if
someone
wants
to
pay
him
to
haul
off
their
stuff,
you
know
he's
hauling
it
off
and
I
said
well,
he
ought
to
work
for
us
and
but
she
says
he
has
a
business
license,
and
so
I
said
why
don't
you
give
me
a
two-page
proposal
and
and
let's
look
at
it
but
and
so
I
talked
to
them
and
I
said
to
them-
you
know
this.
Guy
has
a
business
license
insurance
and
he
has
a
u-haul
style
truck.
A
G
A
And
we
weigh
you
in
when
you
come
in
and
then
you
come
back
around
and
we
wait
when
you
unload
and
we
pay
them
based
on
the
tons
that
they
deliver
to
the
landfill.
And
then
they
go
back
out
and
fill
up
again
and
there's
only
about
a
30
day
to
60
day
window
for
them
to
really
make
some
money
and
we
pay
them.
A
And-
and
I
said
to
them
that
if
we
give
this
guy
this
opportunity
and
some
others
who
have
a
business
license
and
insurance
they'll
probably
work
from
the
time
the
sun
comes
up
in
the
morning
until
it
gets
dark.
Because
you
need
to
fill
that
truck
up
and
you
need
to
get
to
the
landfill
as
quick
as
you
can
and
go
back
and
fill
up
again
and
if
we've
got
five
different
ones
out
there
doing
the
same
thing,
there's
only
so
much
bulk
waste
refrigerators
and
all
that's
out
there
that
they
can
collect.
A
A
F
I
don't
have
a
problem,
scheduling
putting
it
out
out
there
I
did
it
was
all
I
could
do
to
get
what
I
got
to
the
curb
the
refrigerator,
the
couch
and
the
dresser.
Of
course
the
dresser
wasn't
that
hard,
but
it
wasn't
easy
to
get
it
to
the
curb,
but
I
felt
like
well
that's
what
other
people
do.
I
see
them
sitting
on
the
curb,
but
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
taking
a
picture
of
what
I
I've
my
waist
and
scheduling.
A
A
To
get
this
done,
we
are
going
to
get
the
buckways
off
the
streets,
and
this
would
be
an
emergency
purchase
that
I
would
ask
council
to
approve
that
we
can
clean
up
the
streets
of
columbus,
and
so
so
just
know
that
we're
doing
all
that
we
can
and
we'll
continue
to
work
hard
to
clean
it
all
up.
H
Good
evening,
sir,
my
name
is
trey
carmack
I
live
up
on
the
north
end
on
dalton
drive.
If
I
may
take
a
moment
of
privilege,
mr
broadwater,
my
compliment,
sir
broadband
is
an
issue
that
I
fully
believe
in
without
it
we're
going
to
be
a
third
world
country
here,
pretty
quick.
So
I
applaud
that
and
I
applaud
the
city's
commitment
to
that
as
well.
H
H
I
noticed
a
lot
of
heavy
equipment
purchases
on
this
priority
list
and
memory
is
not
my
strongest
suit
these
days,
but
I
remember
seeing
a
lot
of
heavy
equipment
purchases
that
looked
very
similar
in
the
splost
presentation.
My
question
is:
how
do
those
match
up
is?
Is
this
taking
up
some
of
the
slack
from
the
splost?
Do
they
have
to
work
together?
A
C
Yes,
so
there
is
no
duplication,
they're
really
two
separate
efforts
on
the
splos
list
was
heavy
equipment
and
it
did
not
include
garbage
trucks,
it
was
more
dump
trucks
and
and
animal
control,
vehicles
and
and
backhoes
and
those
kind
of
things.
So
it
did
not
include
the
waste
collection
trucks
that
are
on
here.
There
is
fire
department
equipment.
C
A
This
is
your
time
and
we
are
recording
your
comments
and
your
input
will
be
included.
Quick
question,
mr
manager.
E
I'm
thinking
trying
to
do
a
little
forward
thinking
here
what
happens
after
you
spend
all
the
money,
because,
if
you're
spending
this
money
and
that
money
is
not
in
the
budget
five
years
from
now,
have
we
addressed
that?
How
we
have
we
thought
about
what
we're
going
to
do
if
we
need,
for
instance,
to
pay
the
employees
more
money,
that
budget
is
going
to
have
to
be
increased.
If
we
consider.
A
That
certainly
well
and
and
and
yes,
we
have
considered
that
and
noticed
that
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
talked
about
the
replacement
cycle,
and
so
you
know
it's
it's
it's
kind
of
I
I
think
about.
A
I
Good
evening
and
thank
you
for
holding
the
public
meeting
definitely
appreciate
it.
My
name
is
ed
sutherland,
I'm
the
president
of
the
board
of
directors
of
the
columbus
ballet,
a
not-for-profit
local
organization
in
town.
Before
I
kind
of
talk
about
what
I
want
to
talk
about,
I
first
want
to
say
thank
you
to
emily.
Liskowski,
I
believe,
is
somebody's
assistant
right.
I
called
her
to
see
if
there
were
minutes
of
the
monday
meeting
just
so
I
could
get
prepared
for
tonight's
meeting
very
helpful,
very
professional.
You
know
great
customer
service.
I
I
wanted
to
thank
you
to
let
her
know
that
I
definitely
appreciated
her
assistance
yesterday.
So
you
probably
hear
a
lot
of
complaints
all
the
time,
so
I
wanted
to
offer
the
thanks
to
her
so
columbus
ballet.
As
you
know,
local
organization
supporting
arts
classical
ballet
in
columbus
last
year,
obviously
with
kovid,
we
could
not
be
on
stage
because
of
restrictions
right,
so
our
team
came
together
creatively
and
came
up
with
an
idea
of
let's
do
the
mass
nutcracker,
and
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
saw
it.
I
We
broadcasted
on
fox
54
for
the
community
to
partner
with
also
other
organizations
that
were
hurting
the
columbus
museum,
the
public
library.
You
know
trade
center
very
helpful,
the
silverware
naval
museum
botanical
garden,
so
we
all
got
together
and
said:
let's
do
this,
for
the
city
raise
some
money
through
some
grant
funding,
etc.
We
tried
to
raise
money
through
soliciting
donations
through
the
broadcast,
but
didn't
get
very
far
with
that,
because
obviously
everybody
was
hurting
for
funding
and
people
losing
their
jobs
etc.
So
that's.
I
December
of
this
year
will
be
our
25th
anniversary
production
of
the
nutcracker,
so
it's
been
around
in
columbus
for
a
long
time
supporting
the
arts,
so
not
just
from
an
artistic
standpoint
but
from
an
economic
engine
standpoint
which
I
heard
from
the
replay
of
monday's
meeting,
the
young
man
from
the
springer
spoke
about,
etc.
So
the
one
thing
I
want
to
get
across
to
the
to
the
council
and
to
the
you
know,
managers
here,
is
that
when
you
think
about
supporting
the
not-for-profits,
which
I
understand,
you've
already
talked
about
it,
council
meetings
etc.
I
Think
about
pushing
it
down
to
the
grassroots
level,
I
mean,
I'm
sure,
we've
all
heard
the
the
phrase
you
know
a
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats
right,
so
we
definitely
appreciate
the
springer
river
center,
etc.
But
if
you
also
support
the
grassroots
organizations
like
the
columbus
ballet
like
some
of
the
other
dance
organizations
in
town,
we
rent
the
river
center
right.
We
rent
these
other
places
that
benefit
so
that
grassroots
funding
bubbles
up
to
these
other
organizations
that
are
in
town
to
help
support
the
arts.
I
So
I
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
for
you
all
to
think
about
right.
Don't
just
think
about.
You
know
the
top
think
about
the
grassroots
organizations
as
well,
because
we
definitely
want
to
be
out
there
this
year,
our
25th
anniversary
production,
not
just
for
the
dancers
who
perform,
but
also
for
the
community,
because
I
think
we're
going
to
need
another
uplift
in
our
spirits.
This
december,
so
I
don't
know
if
you
wanted
to
say
something
as
you
look
like
you're
moving
towards
the
microphone.
C
I
do
want
to
encourage
non-profits.
I
know
we
heard
from
them
monday
evening
and
and
we're
taking
that
under
advisement
also,
but
the
state's
funding
that
they
have
available
is
also
available
to
nonprofits.
So
if
you
want
to
contact
my
office,
I
can
share
the
link
with
you
for
the
application
with
the
state's
process
as
well.
Okay,
their
application
process
is
august
1st
through
august
31st,
so
it
does
have
a
pretty
quick
end
date,
but
I
encourage
you
to
apply
in
that
particular
way
as
well.
Okay,.
I
I
Other
thing,
the
other
comment,
I'll
make
is
related
to
what
I
heard
here
tonight
and
something
I
also
heard
regarding
cameras
around
town,
yes
and
broadband,
and
you
know
hot
spots
and
so
forth.
So
in
my
professional
life,
I
help
organizations
with
process
improvement
and
what
I
find
most
often
is
that
in
most
large
organizations
you
have
silos
this
department.
This
department.
G
I
So
if
you
have
already
thought
about
it,
I
applaud
you.
If
you
haven't,
I
wanted
to
put
something
out
there
for
you
to
consider
and
that's
with
respect
to
broadband
and
5g
and
the
cameras
that
we're
talking
about
that.
I
heard
from
the
monday
meeting
think
about
potentially
combining
those
right,
because
with
5g
cellular
you
need
a
lot
of
access
points,
not
just
the
big
towers
that
are
miles
apart.
I
If
your
chief
technology
officer
or
cio
folks
are
thinking
about
that,
but
you
could
combine
efforts
your
camera
deployment
with
potentially
small
cell
deployment
5g.
Now,
that's
not
my
area
of
expertise,
it's
just
something
I'm
superficially
aware
of
which
may
be
dangerous,
but
you
might
want
to
think
about
that.
If
it's
not
already
part
of
your
thought
process,
okay,.
A
Well-
and
I
appreciate
those
comments
and
depth-
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin
is
leading
our
camera
effort,
but
we've
got
our
I.t
people
and
and
every
city
department,
with
those
cameras
that
you
talked
about
everybody's,
got
something
going
right,
but
we
are
going
to
take
a
comprehensive
approach
and
and
make
sure
that
they
are
communicating
cameras,
one
with
the
other.
But
but
we
are.
This
is
the
first
serious
approach
that
we
we've
taken
with
consolidating
and
making
sure
that
we
have
a
camera
network.
City-Wide
yeah.
I
G
I
G
I
Possible
but
the
road
signs
we
see
on
the
highways
on
gerry
island
parkway
et
cetera.
I
mean
I've
seen
the
motorcycle
signs
watch
out
for
motorcycles,
click,
header,
ticket,
etc.
You've
also
used
them
for
covet
direction
to
get
people
down
to
the
civic
center,
for
kobe
shots,
etc.
Could
you
broadcast
via
that
means?
You
know
american
rescue
plan
funding
available,
small
business
see
columbus
ga.gov,
but
not
while
you're
driving.
I
A
A
A
A
I
I
A
Well,
well,
let
me
just
say
in
this
particular
case:
they've
already
counseled
me:
okay,
and
they
said
they
need
a
business
license
yeah
and
they
need
insurance
and
they
need
to
add
the
city
as
an
additional
insurer.
They
they've
already.
I
had
a
meeting
and
they've
already
and
so
they're
going
to
bring
a
plan.
Okay,
that
I'm
going
to
have
at
city
council
on
next
tuesday
right
that
I'm
just
revealing,
because
I
want
you
to
know
that
we're
working,
we're
thinking
and
we're.
I
I
You
don't
have
to
have
the
dollars
up
front
when
you
bring
your
first
load
in
we'll
deduct
out
for
your
business
license
and
you
may
be
conflicted
with
your
wife
being
in
insurance,
but
have
three
or
four
insurance
companies
that
you
pre-vet
and
say:
okay,
go
to
these
folks,
yeah
et
cetera
right,
so
just
to
make
it
easy
for
people
to
actually
implement
that
right.
So
I.
A
I
I
I,
like
the
plan.
The
other
reason
I,
like
the
plan
again,
is
based
upon
something
I
heard
in
monday's
meeting.
Was
there
was
a
gentleman
talking
about
you
know.
Young
people,
especially
young
men,
need
something
to
do
to
keep
them
on
the
right
path.
Yes,
this
would
also
benefit
that
as
well.
You
know
and
if
they
don't
have
a
truck,
provide
some
sort
of
rental.
A
A
I
My
name
is
ed
sutherland
and
I'm
the
president
of
the
columbus
ballet
board
and
I've
gone
off
on
tangents
a
little
bit,
but
it
got
my
brain
thinking
because
my
professional
life
is
process
improvement
and
how
do
I
get
companies
to
improve
and
make
things
more
efficient,
so
that
was
my
gears.
Turning
as
I
was
listening
to
both
the
recording
as
well
as
some
of
the
folks
here
who
were
talking
so
definitely.
I
Appreciate
everything
you're
all
doing.
I
definitely
appreciate
you
holding
the
public
meeting
to
get
input
from
the
community
council.
Members
definitely
appreciate
it.
Mayor
henderson,
appreciate
everything
you're
doing
our
state
representative
appreciate
everything
you
guys
are
all
doing.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
All
right,
thank
you
and,
let
me
just
say
no
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
on
the
small
business
loans
that
we
we
did
notice
the
initial
loan,
not
loans,
but
grants
they
were
grants.
Which
means
you
didn't
you
don't
pay
it
back.
A
They
were
four
thousand
dollars
and
and
and
so
notice
that
we
only
had
112
000
in
in
in
that
round
of
grants
and
notice
that
what
you
will
share
tonight
that
we're
asking
council
for
three
million
dollars
and
and
while
the
first
round
was
4
000,
we
haven't
concluded
what
we're
going
to
ask
council
for,
but
we
think
we
would
ask
them
for
up
to
10
000
in
this
round.
So
if
you
see
my
wife
tell
her
that
there's
going
to
be
another
round
and.
A
But
but
no
seriously
but-
and
I
see
I
think,
that's
michael
sol-
he
has
a
mask
going
back
there
and-
and
I
was
at
the
kickoff
of
the
river
valley
chamber-
he's
president
of
the
chamber-
and
I
heard
them
talking
about
mayor,
gertz
and-
and
I
think
he
put
in
they
wanted
500
000
in
carroll's
act
to
small
business.
K
First
of
all,
thank
you
because
I
think
the
whole
grant
idea
is
excellent
and
it
will
benefit
small
businesses
and
every
single
amount
that
we
can
get
matters
and
it'll
help
benefit
all
the
city.
So
I
just
I'll
be
very
quick.
A
couple
of
the
things
my
name
is
janiece
granville.
I
am
a
citizen
of
columbus
georgia.
I
just
wanted
a
couple
of
things.
I
asked
that
us
can
we
could
consider
in
this
funding
at
the
beginning
of
last
summer.
K
There
was
some
cares,
act,
money
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
has
already
come
up,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
businesses
who
applied
for
this
cares
act
funding
they
made
changes.
They
were
quick
to
try
to
make
sure
that
their
businesses
were
safe
for
the
citizens
and
for
their
employees,
and
I
think
more
so
because
they
expected
that
money
at
that
time
and
we
were
not
able
to
give
that
to
them.
If
that
money
is
available,
I
think
at
least
for
those
who
applied.
A
Well-
and
let
me
just
say
that
here's
the
problem
with
that
and
of
course
we
in
good
faith,
went
through
that
process.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
and
identify
those
businesses
that
we
were
going
to
make
the
award
too
and
then
the
second
round
of
money
did
not
come
down
from
the
state.
It
got
redirected
for
unemployment
insurance,
and
that
is
the
only
reason
and
the
problem
with
that
is
that
the
arp
money
there's
a
date
and
what's
that
date
and
and
what
they
apply
for,
predates
what
you
can
use
arp
monies
for.
A
C
So
this
arp
funding
is
from
march
3rd
of
2021
through
december
31st
of
2024.
That's
when
the
expenditures
have
to
be
obligated
during
that
period
of
time,
so
any
expenditure
that
it
occurred
prior
to
march
3rd
of
2021
would
not
be
allowed
through
the
american
rescue
plan.
Okay,.
K
So
just
which
goes
to
another
one
of
my
my
requests.
So
that's
good
to
know.
The
second
one
is
financial
assistance
for
community
schools.
I
know
we
have
a
really
good
parks
and
rec
program.
They
work
very
hard.
They
come
up
with
great
programs,
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
parents
utilize
them
for
after-school
programs.
K
So
that's
part
of
what
I'd
asked
if
we
could
put
some
of
the
money
into
that
as
well
as
the
pools.
I
know
people
have
said
that
I
think
I
heard
some
of
the
program
from
monday,
so
I
know
that
was
requested,
but
activities
that
the
kids
could
do
consistently
like
pools
that
could
help
during
the
summer
and
other
times
of
the
year.
We
have
pretty
much
you
you
know
in
georgia,
we
have
summer.
That's.
K
Of
the
year,
so
it'd
be
great
to
have
programs
we
could
use
throughout
the
year
the
other.
Some
of
the
other
issues
that
some
of
the
other
requests
I
had.
I
heard
you
mention
about
the
arp
funds
for
the
school
system,
so
I'll
save
some
of
those
for
the
school
board,
but
I
know
teachers
even
now
are
still
paying
out
of
their
pockets
right
now
for
everything
as
basic
as
mass.
K
Concerned
about
so
to
know
that
there
are
millions
of
dollars
sitting
on
the
table
for
us
to
be
able
to
use.
I
hope
that
we
can
allocate
some
of
those
dollars
to
some
of
the
needs
that
the
teachers
are
paying
right
are
one
of
our
biggest
resources
here
in
the
city,
sure,
and
then
the
last
thing
and
not
being
self-serving
in
any
manner
is
marketing,
something
that
I
noticed
that
we
as
the
city
is
not
able
to
allocate
a
lot
of
money
which
makes
sense.
K
Most
cities
are
not,
but
there
are
so
many
things
whether
it's
jobs
that
are
available
or
it's
programs
or
changes
same
thing
with
parks
and
rec.
We've
got
to
spend
the
money
to
tell
people
about
those
programs,
whether
that
be
through
traditional
forms
or
non-traditional
forms,
as
the
suggestion
was
made
earlier.
But
if
we're
doing
all
these
great
things
and
only
three
or
four
people
show
up,
because
people
don't
even
know
we're
doing
them,
then
it's
kind
of
like
throwing
money.
K
You
know
throwing
good
money
after
bad,
so
I
would
just
ask
for
us
to
think
about
allocating
some
of
the
dollars
in
this
plan.
To
market
some
of
the
good
things
that
we're
doing
so,
that
more
people
can
take
advantage
of
them.
A
K
K
K
Thank
you
for
that,
but
I
just
I
hear
things
about.
We
want
to
give
money
to
businesses.
I
was
a
part
of
the
grant
progress
process
for
reviewing
some
of
the
applications
for
the
process
with
the
what
is
it
it
was
through
the
chamber,
but
they
did
kind
of
a
just
a
small
amount
of
grants.
What
was
it
called
that
that.
A
K
A
K
A
K
That's
a
learning
lesson
and
we'll
fix
some
of
those
things
right,
but
in
addition
to
the
money
for
those
businesses,
they
also
there's
great
programmings
from
sba
and
other
things
being
done
in
our
city.
That
people
don't
know
about
that
would
help
them
to
be
better
business
owners.
So
getting
that
information
out
to
people.
G
A
Great
comments,
thanks
for
your
station
and
all
that
you
guys
do
you're
a
great
community
service
to
all
of
us.
Yes,
so.
L
My
name
is
laquisa
russo,
I'm
the
owner
of
second
chance
transition.
I
wasn't
going
to
talk
about
the
trash,
but
I
just
couldn't
sit
there
and
not
say
anything
so,
there's
a
stigma
behind
being
a
trashman.
Nobody
wants
to
be
a
trashman
because
it's
known
as
the
prisoner's
job.
So
if
you
don't
value
the
worker
as
if
it's
the
same
as
a
custodian
or
cna,
because
it's
a
low-level
job,
but
the
importance
of
the
job
is
very
valuable.
You
will
never
have
the
employees
that
you
need
it'll,
be
a
high
turnover.
L
L
What
I'm
asking
is
when
you
allocate
funds,
I
don't
care
if
it's
for
small
businesses,
because
I'm
looking
at
this
list
and
truthfully
I'm
a
nice
person,
but
I'm
I
say
what
everybody
is
thinking,
I'm
sickened
by
this
list
and
I'm
just
being
honest
with
you,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
these
people
personally.
I've
worked
with
them
in
business
and
personal
and
they
didn't
need
the
money.
But
a
lot
of
times
you.
A
Well,
let
me
just
tell
you
you
know
our
program
was
not
based
on
who
you
know
right,
and
you
know
what
that
is
one
reason
I
use
my
wife
as
an
example
that
that's
one
reason
people
like
why.
Why
say
that
about
what
you
know,
because
if
my
wife
had
gotten
the
four
thousand
dollars
right,
that's
exactly
what
people
would
be
saying,
and
you
know
what
that's
why
I
didn't
tell
her.
L
G
A
You
know
I've
been
with
the
city
37
years,
I've
seen
what
you
talked
about,
what
you're
talking
about
and
when
I
became
city
manager.
The
one
thing
I
vowed
is
that
that
is
not
going
to
happen,
not
while
I'm
city
manager,
because
I'll
call
it
out
and
and
and
the
people
who
are
doing
it
report
to
me,
and
I
would
be
no
better
than
those
who
were
before
me
who
allowed
such,
and
so
I
just
want
to
correct
you
on
that.
I
will
not
stand
by
and
watch
okay.
A
A
L
Of
paper
doesn't
always
say
the
value
of
what
somebody
is
doing,
whether
it
be
a
department
with
the
city,
whether
it
be
a
non-profit
or
whether
it
be
a
private
business.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
when
you're
getting
ready
to
allocate
the
funds,
let's
first
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
get
results
to
whoever
the
fund
is
being
allocated.
A
L
That's
my
first
thing
again:
let's
make
sure
if
the
money,
even
if
is
available
to
not
just
go
on
a
piece
of
paper,
get
out
there
and
see
what
the
people
is
doing.
I
know
it
will
say
it
two
times
to
call
your
councilman.
I
know
when
I
had
an
event.
A
month
ago
I
sent
the
email
out
to
everybody
about
my
job
resource
fair.
I
think
it
was
two
people,
john
house,
and
miss
bruce
huff
that
responded
back.
This
is
on
two
separate
occasions.
L
So
when
you
it's
all
again
like
they
said
marketing,
that's
part
of
part
of
marketing.
People
need
to
know,
and
people
need
to.
If
you
say
call
them
then
respond
back.
If
you
saying
call
them,
then
you
need
to
make
sure
you're
telling
your
people
to
respond.
Even
if
they
say,
like
mr
house
always
respond,
he'll
say
I'm
not
able
to
attend,
acknowledge
that
you
even
receive
the
email.
Because
again,
if
we
only
know
the
people,
that's
in
here,
that's
it
now
it
becomes
word
of
mouth.
I
think
that's
why
people
say
it's
favoritism.
L
A
A
L
M
Good
evening,
good
evening,
everyone
good
evening
greetings
to
the
mayor
city
manager,
sure
citizens
of
muskogee
county,
our
council.
That
is
here,
of
course,
my
name
is
michael
muhammad,
better
known
as
michael
soule.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
that
isaiah.
I
am
the
proud
president
of
the
river
valley,
black
chamber
of
commerce,
and
I
bring
you
greetings
on
behalf
of
our
membership
as
well,
and
the
coalition
the
georgia
coalition
of
black
chambers,
which
includes
12
chambers
in
the
state
and
the
river
valley,
being
one
of
those
12.
M
here
in
muscogee
county
we're
serving
16
counties.
Muskogee
county,
of
course,
is
the
seat
of
that
before
I
get
started
with
my
ass.
Of
course,
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
city
manager,
councilman
house.
Of
course,
council
woodson
was
here
as
well,
which.
G
M
M
Remember
that
we're
not
going
to
come
with
complaints,
we
were
going
to
come
with
recommendations,
sure
with
solutions
we
were
going
to
come
with
proposals
as
well
as
ideas,
not
complaints.
We
appreciate
the
city
government's
hard
work
as
it
relates
to
the
cares
act.
M
That's
good.
It's
a
great
start.
That's
set
aside
for
small
businesses.
We
also
would
like
to
see
some
additional
funding
set
aside,
and
I
just
had
someone
tap
me
again.
Are
you
going
to
ask
about
non-profits
so
we'd
like
to
see
some
additional
funding
set
aside
for
non-profit
organizations
in
the
form
of
grants
and
set
aside
for
technical
assistance
dollars
to
help
organizations
build
capacity
within
the
community
and
develop
the
relationships
with
the
city?
M
M
We,
the
river
valley,
black
chamber
of
commerce,
would
like
to
serve
as
a
fiduciary
and
provide
the
capacity
building
to
further
the
efforts
and
success
and
accountability
of
those
programs
moving
forward
and,
of
course,
we'd
like
to
sit
down
with
you,
city
manager,
mayor
as
well
to
further
look
at
the
feasibility
of
what
we're
proposing
our
programs
take
in
consideration.
All
citizens
within
the
county
and
city
of
all
socioeconomic
sets
all
races
which
helps
us
ensure
that
we
fall
in
line
with
the
guidance
of
executive
order.
M
13
985,
the
river
valley,
black
chamber
of
commerce,
is
here
for
all
citizens
and
again
we
thank
you
for
all
that
you're
doing
doing
a
great
job,
we're
here
to
support
and
thank
you
again
for
our
kickoff
in
our
first
year.
Things
are
going
well
and
before
I
leave
this
month,
if
everyone
didn't
know,
is
national
black
business
month
and
it's
also
national
black
philanthropic
month
as
well.
M
We
feel
that
everyone
can
get
what
they
want
if
we
are
patient
and
not
rush
this
process
with
those
dollars
that
are
coming
down,
innovative
things
we're
talking
about
with
this
rescue
plan,
funding,
which
does
not
have
as
many
restrictions
as
we
understand
according
to
the
treasury
department,
want
to
make
sure
position
and
strategically
utilize
these
funds
in
the
best
way
that
can
benefit
all
citizens,
so,
city
manager,
mayor,
look
forward
to
talking
with
you
more
about
those
proposals
and
again,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
sir
congratulations
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
we
appreciate
your
approach
to
wanting
to
work
with
us,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
it
all
right.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
all
right.
A
J
Hey
my
name
is
george
singer
and
the
chairman
of
the
board
for
historic
westfield.
My
cousin
julian
singer
is
the
executive
director.
There
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
Information
you
provided
we
came
to
get
some
information
regarding
the
american
rescue
plan
because,
to
be
quite
honest
with
you
westfield's
at
a
crossroads
right
now
due
to
covet
the
national
infantry
museum
is
still
closed,
which
drew
300
000
visitors
a
year
and
for
westfield
to
just
get
a
small
percentage
of
those
visitors
certainly
did
help.
J
So
you
know
we're
doing
all
we
can
right
now
to
find
the
funding
that
we
need
to
continue
to
stay
open,
so
pam,
I
believe,
we'll
be
in
touch
with
you.
We
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
information
that
you
provided
tonight
and
we
hope
to
to
follow
up
on
this
and
get
the
funding
that
westfield
needs.
Now,
for
more
than
50
years,
it's
been
able
to
educate
families
and
students
and
how
life
has
lived
in
the
1800s,
and
we
hope
to
be
able
to
continue
that
here
in
columbus.
A
J
F
N
How
are
y'all
doing
good
y'all
saw
me
the
other
night
for
music,
and
now,
I'm
here
again
representing
my
black,
has
a
purpose.
So
obviously
I
am
black,
we're
not
saying
that
any
other
race
doesn't
have
value
or
anything
like
that.
It's
just
time
for
black
people
to
realize
our
own
purpose.
We
appreciate
the
river
valley,
black
chamber
of
commerce.
We
appreciate
you,
mr
mayor,
for
supporting
so
many
endeavors
and
efforts
city
manager,
all
the
hard
work
that
you
do
and
coming
from
a
hbcu
with
that
said,
I
would
like
to
introduce
takara
hemingway.
N
She
works
with
mental
health
and
we
just
have
a
one
small
statement
just
to
say
we're
not
asking
or
begging
for
money,
we're
just
saying
hey.
We
need
support
from
everybody,
and
that
includes
everybody
in
this
room.
If
we
all
can
truly
support
each
other
without
all
of
these
agendas
and
all
of
these
things,
we
make
it
difficult
for
people
that
are
trying
to
do
the
work,
including
the
mayor,
including
the
city
manager,
the
deputy
city
manager.
N
Why
is
it
so
difficult
for
us
to
just
get
along
and
do
the
work?
Our
focus
is
young
people.
We're
focused
on
the
future,
and
all
we're
saying
is
our
black
has
a
purpose
to
whether
it's
reduced
crime
enhance
music
and
the
arts,
whether
it's
increased
education
for
mental
health
focus
on
that.
That's
all
we're
here
to
do
and
we're
here
to
collaborate
with
everyone
in
this
community.
Yes,
we
need
money.
Everybody
need
money,
however,
we're
just
here
to
say
that
positive
thing
I'll
give
the
mic
over
to
takara.
O
O
A
O
But,
like
z
was
saying
my
black
has
a
purpose,
though
it
was
created.
You
know,
out
of
anger
after
the
death
of
george
floyd,
and
many
of
you
probably
know
us
from
the
march
shamika
average
toyah
tucker
and
myself
organized
in
2020
june
of
2020.
O
O
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
the
african-american
community
no
longer
feels
overlooked
or,
like
they've,
been
forgotten
about
or
like
they
don't
matter
or
like
they're,
just
another
census
number.
They
need
to
know
that
they
they
too
are
a
part
of
this
community
and
that
they
matter
my
black
has
a
purpose
is
not
I'm
sorry,
that's
okay,.
O
So
basically,
my
black
has
a
purpose
is
not
here
to
reinvent
the
wheel
that
so
many
organizations
have
already
started
turning.
We
are
here
to
give
momentum
and
to
partner
with
other
organizations
we
want
to
partner
with
group
homes
we
want
to
partner
with
after
school
programs
and
et
cetera,
and
are
looking
to
start
purpose
programs
where
we
can
focus
on
rebuilding
the
belief
in
purpose,
rebuilding
hope
in
our
youth
for
their
future.
O
We're
looking
to
rebuild
the
excitement
about
life
and
living,
and
I
say
that
literally
because
my
professional
job
is,
I
am
one
of
the
few
board
certified
psychiatric
mental
health
nurse
practitioners
in
the
city
of
columbus.
So
I
see
countless
number
of
numbers
of
young
children,
young
adults,
especially
in
the
black
communities,
who
feel
like
the
better
option
is
death.
You
know,
and
so
it's
it's
really
hard
to
encourage
them.
O
When
you
really
don't
have
anywhere
no
direction
to
point
them
in
to
say:
hey,
you
can
go
here,
you
know
you,
don't
you
don't
really
have
the
access
or
the
programs
that
are
beneficial
for
their
needs.
You
know
so
that's
where
my
black
has
a
purpose
wants
to
come
in
and
be
that
that
space
filler
there,
like
I
said,
but
with
working
with
other
organizations
who
are
already
doing
amazing
work
in
this
community.
So
we're
not
here
to
downplay
anybody.
We
just
want
to
say
we
want
to
help
to
continue
the
momentum.
O
A
And
we
appreciate
you
coming
out
and
mental
health
is
a
serious
issue.
You
know
we
see
it
in
our
jail,
we
see
it
throughout
the
community.
So
like
no
time
before,
we
we've
got
to
give
more
attention
back
to
mental
health.
So
I
I
I'm
with
you
yeah.
O
A
O
That's
50
a
week,
you
know
in
a
year
I'm
seeing
2
400
new
cases
of
mental
health,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
guys
for
letting
me
speak.
P
P
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
inviting
us
and
giving
us
the
chance
to
come
and
speak.
Basically,
boys
to
men
is
a
local
non-profit,
501c
program
in
the
area.
We
are
centered
around
helping
our
youth.
At
this
time
we
are
located
at
7,
000
storage
court.
P
Basically,
I'm
asking
that
the
funds
I
have
a
lot
I
deal
with
I'm
a
social
worker,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
parents
that
come
to
me
and
they're
asking
for
help
with
their
youth.
We
have
a
lot
of
youth
that
a
lot
of
parents
who
are
that
come
to
me
that
are
single
moms
and
I'm
sorry,
and
they
are
basically
asking
like
what
type
of
programs
do
I
have
that
they
can
get
in
which
I
do
have.
However,
due
to
covid,
I
can
only
you
know,
take
a
certain
amount
at
this
time.
P
I'm
asking
that
if
you
could
please
consider
putting
the
allocation
for
some
of
the
summer
youth
programs
this
past
summer,
I
had
what
was
called
the
gym
rats
and
basically
it
only
lasted
four
months,
because
that's
all
I
could
do.
I
was
asked
to
extend
it
out.
However,
it
did
not
work
out
that
way.
So
at
this
time
I'm
asking
you
to
please
consider
the
non-profits
in
the
area
like
he
was
saying
that
are
out
here,
working
and
doing
it,
making
it
happen
for
our
parents
and
our
youth.
Q
And
I
will
say
just
to
piggyback
off
of
the
non-profit
organization
piece
after
the
the
march
last
june,
nonprofits
just
flourished.
You
know
you
had
non-plot
non-profits
coming
from
everywhere
out
of
the
woodwork,
because
people
realized
the
need
for
social
activism,
especially
after
seeing
police
brutality
and
things
like
that,
and
just
wanting
to
say
what
can
I
do?
What
organization
can
I
can
I
create
that
can
really
push
us
into
a
better
place
into
a
better
world,
so
the
non-profit
organizations
are
definitely
growing
and
people
are
thinking
outside
the
box.
Q
During
this
pandemic,
non-profits
have
just
birthed,
because
people
are
sitting
at
home
and
they're
saying
okay.
How
can
I
give
back
to
my
community,
but
how
do
I
get
back
to
my
community
if
I
cannot
do
that
properly,
with
funding
to
run
these
programs
so
working
with
voice
demand?
Development
has
been
awesome.
Q
For
me,
working
with
my
back
has
a
purpose
which
was
birthed
out
of
the
george
floyd
march
last
year
has
been
wonderful
and
it's
actually
putting
me
more
in
line
with
my
community
and
I'm
grateful
to
say
that
I
love
working
in
my
community
and
just
stemming
from
that
and
working
with
the
board's
demand
development.
I
lost
my
daughter
for
four
and
a
half
years
ago.
So
during
that
time,
since
I've
doing
the
pandemic-
and
I
thought
about
some
things,
how
can
I
give
back?
Q
Right
now,
community
schools
working
with
brewer
elementary
mlk,
elementary
and
dorothy
height
right
now,
which
is
some
of
our
more
impoverished
schools
in
our
in
our
school
district
and
these
teachers.
They
need
help
these
counselors.
They
need
help,
so
community
schools
is
going
in
to
provide
that
support
and
gg's
pearls
and
boardsman
development
are
creating
a
partnership
with
them
as
well.
Q
So
what
we're
saying
is
that
the
nonprofit
organizations
are
definitely
out
here
with
boots
on
the
ground,
we're
doing
the
work
and
we're
trying
to
create
a
better
community
for
columbus
georgia,
and
it
starts
with
our
kids
in
this
community,
from
the
girls
to
the
boys,
to
our
young
adults,
because
they
grow
up
and
they
either
stay
here
and
they
become
members
of
our
society
that
we
can
say,
okay
did
a
great
job
or
they
go
another
way.
So
our
non-profit
organizations
need
to
definitely
hopefully
at
some
point,
be
at
the
forefront
of
this
funding.
Q
A
R
I
have
a
few
things
on
my
list
tonight
and
I
know
that
with
federal
funds
is
always
you
always
have
to
be
in
compliance
and
though
you
might
want
to
spend
money
in
one
one
way
you
may
not
be
able
to.
So,
I'm
not
sure
of
the
things
I
have
tonight
are
on
the
list,
but
I
would
like
to
begin
first
with
the
frank,
chester,
recreation
center.
R
R
People
there
may
need
to
come
out
and
walk.
So
if
that
can
be
considered,
that
would
be
a
plus
for
us.
The
liberty
district
downtown.
I'm
not
sure
that,
if
the
property
around,
because
I
attend
friendship,
baptist
church
and
there's
a
lot
of
unused
space,
the
liberty,
district
liberty,
district
and
also
there's
a
lot
of
buildings
that
have
just
pretty
much
non-existent,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
in
that
area,
could
you
create
a
pavilion,
a
place
where
people
can
come
that
live
in
that
area?
R
So
we
don't
want
to
forget
about
them:
grants
for
non-profits
as
well
as
sororities
and
fraternities.
I
don't
know
if
that
would
be
an
allowable
line
item,
but
I
know
that
my
sorority
zeta
phi
beta
we've
donated
out
of
our
pockets.
R
Ipad
chargers,
masks
wipes
all
kinds
of
things:
ppe
to
dorothy
heights
school
and
we've
been
supporting
them
in
the
past
with
school
supplies,
but
the
need
changed
with
kovitt.
So
you
know
we
have.
These
non-profits
have
also
suffered
from
covert
because
we
couldn't
have
fundraising.
R
R
One
other
thing:
you
know
the
roadway
like
the
five
feet
of
distance
that
is
owned
by
the
city.
What
what
does
it
take
to
get
that
really
cleared
up?
There's
some
areas
in
the
dime
before
you
get
into
the
diamondwood
neighborhood.
We
recall
they
cleaned,
they
cut
it
back
a
little
bit.
Then
it's
overgrown
and
it's
also
in
some
cases
a
hazard,
because
when
you
come
to
the
stop,
you
can't
see
you
have
to
creep
out
almost
into
the
street
to
see
and
calls
have
been
made
and
calls
are
constantly
being
made.
A
And
so
we
we're
recording.
So
we
we're
capturing
all
that
you
said
but
just
know
frank
chester.
We've
got
things
in
the
proposed
special
purpose:
local
option
sales
tax
to
help
with
well
with
new
pools
and
splash
pads
and
and
and
and
doing
some
things
with
recreation,
centers.
T
T
I'm
here
to
represent
the
youth
of
the
community,
beginning
with
my
two
children
that
are
home,
probably
watching
this
and
wondering
what
time
I'm
getting
back.
T
But
I
want
to
speak
about
youth
development
when
the
senseless
murders
took
over
in
this
community
and
there
was
a
lot
of
community
response
back
in
february
there
was
a
community
member,
mr
bellwood
black,
that
made
a
facebook
comment
and
he
went
through
this
long
laundry
list
of
memories
that
he
have
from
being
a
youth
in
this
community
and
about
recreation,
centers,
midnight,
basketball-
and
I
don't
know-
I'm
not
from
here
so
y'all-
know
those
memories.
But
I
would
like
to
have
those
memories
same
memories
afforded
to
my
children.
T
So
I'm
here
to
ask
for
youth
development
or
for
funds
to
be
allotted
allocated
for
youth
development.
As
you're
saying
with
the
park
and
recreation
centers,
bringing
programs
back
to
those
communities,
I'm
getting
passionate.
T
Brought
up
about
education,
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
muskogee
county
school
district
here
tonight,
because
that's
not
what
this
meeting
is
about.
But
when
you
talked
about
those
title,
1
schools,
38
of
the
53
schools
in
muskogee,
county
school
district,
30,
000
students
in
this
community.
When
we
talk
about
those
30
thousand
children,
let's
not
forget
about
them
in
these
funds
as
well.
Let
muskogee
county
school
district,
take
care
of
their
education
and
let
the
city
take
care
of
their
development.
U
Hello,
everybody
I'm
going
to
keep
things
very
short
and
sweet.
My
name
is
alana
daniels,
I'm
22
years
old
and
I
kind
of
just
want
to
speak
on
youth
a
little
bit
more
because
I
think
we
kind
of
overlook
youth
right.
So
the
more
you
pour
into
the
youth
right,
the
the
better
they'll
turn
out
right.
So
I
had
an
amazing
mom
and
an
amazing
dad
that
led
me
to
become
the
youngest
person
in
georgia
to
be
the
area
manager
for
the
elections
office
right.
G
G
A
A
U
But
you
really
can't
put
the
blame
on
anybody
because
they
don't
know
any
better
right
and
there's
nobody
pouring
into
them
and
the
different
non-profit
organizations
that
are
trying
to
pour
into
them.
They
they
don't
have
enough
funds
to
do
so
right.
We
only
can
help
so
many
people
only
so
many
people
can
come
into
these
doors
and
we
can
put
shoes
on
their
feet
and
we
can
put
clothes
on
their
back
and
we
can
pour
into
them
as
much
as
we
can.
But
hey
we
gotta
go
home
at
five
o'clock
right.
U
A
G
U
U
That
are
they,
they
aren't
being
funded
right
and
again.
No,
you
know
disrespect
to
anyone,
but
I've
been
looking
for
three
years
straight
right:
every
single
person
that
gets
that
the
community
reinvestment
grants
and
the
crime
prevention
grants
and
what
are
they
doing
for
our
youth
right?
Of
course,
I
get
every
opportunity
in
columbus
because
hey
I'm
doing
everything
right,
I've
I've
seen
these
people,
you
know,
I
know
most
of
these
state
representatives
and
they
know
me
so
that
it's
okay
for
them
to
call
me
and
say:
hey,
hey!
You
want
to
come.
U
Do
this
for
me
real
quick,
get
what
I'm
saying,
but
for
somebody
that
goes
to
eddie
middle
school
or
carver,
high
school
or
spencer
high
school,
what
what
are
they
getting
right?
They're,
not
getting
those
same
opportunities
because
no
one
sees
them.
So
what
are
those
non-profit
organizations
getting
when
nobody
really
knows
them
right?
If
you've
been?
U
Let's
just
say
you
know,
wc
bradley
right,
I'm
sure
every
one
that
he
hung
around
was
someone
that
was
on
his
level
and
that's
why
I
aim
to
be
like
him
one
day
right,
but
he
probably
didn't
know
anybody
that
was
making
another
25
000
a
year
other
than
the
people
that
were
working
for
him,
but
he
wasn't
sitting
at
the
table
with
him.
You
know
sitting
at
the
table
with
them
saying
hey.
What
do
you
need
right?
Hey?
What
can
I
do
to
help
you?
He
didn't
know
anybody
making
under
80
000
a
year.
U
U
Oh
well,
it's
about
who
you
know,
but
it's
there's
no
way
for
you
to
know
if
you're,
not
in
the
streets,
if
you're
not
any
candy,
if
you're,
not
in
wilson
right
you,
it's
no
way
for
you
to
know
but
see:
hey,
I'm
a
22
year
old,
who
knows
people
who
make
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
I
know
people
who
struggle
making
7.25
an
hour.
So
I
know
hey.
This
is
what
we
need
right.
We
need
something
for
these
youth
to
do.
We
need
people
to
pour
into
them.
We
need
exposure.
U
We
don't
need
programs
that
are
going
to
say,
hey,
I'm
a
mentor,
you
I'm
gonna,
you
know
teach
you
how
to
do
this.
No,
we
need
somebody
to
say:
hey,
let's
go
on
a
road
trip,
let's
go
to
a
college,
let's
go
to
new
york
city:
let's
go
to
las
vegas,
let's
go
to
california,
to
show
them.
If
you
work
hard,
hey.
This
is
the
type
of
life
you
will
live
because
my
parents
taught
me
you
work
hard.
This
is
the
type
of
life
you
can
live.
That's
why
I
am
this
way.
U
I'm
not
this
way
because
I
had
a
mentor
right.
I'm
not
this
way
because
I
went
to
school.
I
went
to
carver
high
school.
Let
me
tell
you
them.
Teachers
didn't
teach
me
nothing!
Okay,
I'm
sorry!
I'm
sorry!
But
honestly
I
didn't
I
didn't
learn
you
know
multiplication
from
them.
I
learned
look
if
you
want
to
make
it
in
this
world.
This
is
what
you
need
to
do
right,
so
I
learned
hustle
from
them
right.
U
A
V
And
we
did
learn
something:
that's
why
I've
been
all
over
the
world,
but
we
were
taught
when
we
finished
carver
in
my
day
to
come
back
and
help
your
people
not
to
leave
columbus
or
you
don't
have
to
come
back,
say
that's
the
difference.
Okay,
but
I'm
going
to
be.
I
want
to
hit
some
very
critical
bullets
here.
V
You
know
I
hate
to
tell
people
these
things
because
people
misunderstand,
but
it's
about
love,
I'm
the
only
expert
in
public
health
and
crime
that
you
know
of
I'm
sorry,
the
other
people,
the
experiment.
What
I'm
saying
to
you
is
that
we
went
all
over
the
state,
a
federal
grant
through
the
state
department,
to
design
this
curriculum
and
what
we,
what
we
designed
was
the
curriculum
to
train
people,
how
to
build
collaboration.
V
V
No
one
here
can
say
that
the
south
side
of
columbus
they
can
justify
why
the
south
side
and
east
side
of
columbus
is
so
dreadfully
different
from
the
north
side
other
than
we
don't
know
what
to
do
with
the
south
and
east
side.
We
know
how
to
do
the.
We
know
how
to
do
the
things
that
you
put
on
the
list
and
nothing
wrong
with
that,
but
we
need
to
do
the
human
divine
know.
V
We
also
understand
that
there's
a
crisis
of
hopelessness
in
this
community
and
you
have
to
be
teach
people
how
to
do
it.
Okay,
well
meaning
this
would
have
fixed
us
already.
If
that
was
the
case,
and
so
it's
not
a
criticism
by
the
city
city
manager,
it's
just
as
the
young
lady
said,
you
can't
know
everybody.
You
can
only
make
decisions
over
what
comes
on
your
desk.
You
don't
know
the
other
people
out
there,
it's
our
job
to
bring
those
people
back
into
the
loop.
So
that's
why
we're
here
today.
V
V
The
money
you
put
in
cameras
need
to
be
invested
in
jobs
after
school
jobs
for
those
between
15
and
25
after
school
jobs,
the
same
money-
and
you
don't
need
cameras,
because
I'm
also
chair
of
the
economic
development
committee
for
the
state
of
georgia,
naacp
and
we're
concerned
about
civil
rights
and
civil
liberties,
and
I'm
saying
to
you
putting
george
orwell
did
a
book
in
1984.
V
They
talked
about
big
brother.
We
don't
need
big
brother,
we
need
community.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
proverb.
I'm
going
to
leave
with
in
ancient
africa
every
day
before
the
the
day
was
over.
All
the
elders
of
the
community
would
meet
together
and
the
chief
would
ask
the
question:
how
are
our
youth
they
look
around?
They
weren't
sure
he
said
go
find
out.
V
So
when
they
go
back
into
the
village
and
everyone
comes
back
and
reassemble
and
say
chief,
do
you
feel
fine?
He
said:
okay,
now
we
can
sleep,
we
can't
sleep
in
columbus
georgia
because
we
have
not
put
together
the
corporation
that
was
required
and
the
training
that
people
need
to
build
they're,
always
about
empowering
the
people,
not
what
you
do
to
them,
but
teaching
them
how
to
fish
for
themselves.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
have
a
good
evening.
Thank
you.
A
For
your
comments,
anyone
else
like
to
speak.
W
Good
evening,
everyone
in
all
due
respect
to
the
mayor
city,
council,
deputies,
elected
officials,
my
name
is
jerome
williams.
I
was
gonna
sit
there.
I
was
gonna
hush
my
mouth
and
stuff.
I
migrated
here
probably
about
20
years
by
way
of
fort
benning
and
been
here
and
I'll.
Tell
you.
In
the
last
couple
of
months,
I've
learned
a
lot
about
how
the
city
runs
and
things
that's
going
on
in
the
city,
and
I
hear
what
a
lot
of
people
have
said
here.
They've
said
a
lot
of
good
things.
W
At
that,
the
apr
you
know,
yeah
the
american
rescue
plan
and
I
didn't
see
where
there
was
funds
that
was
sitting
that
was
putting
up
for
one
for
low
housing
development
as
well
as
for
these
community
centers.
Now
I
see
that
the
nice
aqua
aquatic
center
that's
over
here,
but
I
go
out
to
shirley
b
winston
go
out
to
solomon
road.
W
A
W
Right
now,
you're
12
people
short,
who
are
you
gonna,
have
to
operate
these
trucks
that
you
don't
have
positions
field
for.
We
need
to
take
and
look
at
one
like
doctor,
said
social
economic,
invest
taking
in
and
look
at
bringing
up
the
pay
compared
to
other
cities
like
macon,
savannah,
augusta
those
kids.
We
got
to
take
in
and
look
what's
going
to
take
in
and
bring
up
everyone
in
the
city
together,
because
in
order
because
when
I
was
growing
up
it
took
they
always
told
me,
it
took
us
a
village
to
raise
a
child.
W
W
W
So
I
would
like
to
see
you
do
something
like
fair
housing.
Do
something
for
the
rec
centers
taking
and
build
these
rec
centers
up,
because
some
of
these
kids
don't
have
the
the
ability
to
come
over
here
to
to
make
a
road
to
go
swimming
or
they
don't
have
the
access
to
go
into
these
gyms.
W
I
know
when
I
first
got
here:
they
were
doing
midnight
basketball,
which
the
young
lady
was
talking
about.
Somebody
posted
on
facebook,
my
my
knees
and
back
back
is
bad.
I
don't
I
can't
play
nowadays,
but
I
still
like
to
go
so
we
need
to
take
my
I
like
said,
like
I
said,
I'm
gonna
sit
down,
but
we
need
to
take
it
and
empower
our
communities
and
make
our
communities
work
together
in
order
for
us
to
have
a
better
columbus.
A
Thank
you,
sir,
for
your
comments.
Anyone
else.
S
S
Mine
is
a
question
sure
I'm
a
resident
here
born
and
raised
I'm
a
servant
leader
for
this
community
and
he
just
kind
of
brought
that
out.
I
was
thinking
I
was
writing
the
same
thing,
because
my
husband
and
I
walk
on
a
daily
basis
and
we
walk
at
sure
winston
and
we
walk
at
brit
david
vast
difference,
the
pool
there-
and
I
know
it's
covet,
so
I'm
not
asking
to
do
anything,
I'm
not
asking
for
anything.
S
I
have
questions
that
pool
has
been
down,
for
god
knows
how
long
my
sister
evelyn
turner
few
really
fought
to
get
that
there,
and
I
know
that
I,
the
questions
I've
asked
over
the
years
have
been
the
parts
you
know
it's
broken.
Lots
of
things
are
broken,
but
it's
definitely
directly
related
to
crime.
If
we
can't
have
our
kids
doing
things,
but
what
I
see
on
that
side
of
town
is
very
different
than
what
I
see
on
the
other
side
of
town,
and
I
know
that
maybe
you
guys
have
a
plan.
G
S
A
S
That's
great
well,
that
was
my
question.
I
wanted
to
know
what
budget
has
the
parks
and
recs
and
I
don't
know
about
the
arc.
I
don't
know,
but
I
wanted
to
know
what
budget
addresses
the
parks
and
recs,
because
if
that's
been
a
concern,
then
we
needed
to
move
it
along,
not
just
for
shirley
winston,
but
other
places
that
have
similar.
S
G
S
This
has
been
said
at
lots
of
other
council
meetings
as
well,
and
so
I,
like
I
said
I
wasn't
going
to
say
anything
but
since
he
said
that
I
wanted
to
echo
the
concern
that
if
we
are
looking
at
that
and
whatever
those
demographics
are
the
metrics
about
how
big
it
is
in
the
first
and
last
of
the
middle,
we
needed
to
do
something
to
address
it,
where
these
children
have
things
to
do,
because
they
can't
get
to
this
thing.
This
is
beautiful.
A
Well,
yeah
you're
right,
it's
it's
out
of
the
way
for
some,
but
during
the
summer
we
have
unlimited
riots
on
buses
for
our
youth.
They
don't
pay.
S
S
A
And-
and
you
know
just
to
come
in,
I
was
frustrated
yesterday
and
I
shared
that
with
the
mayor
this
morning.
A
You
know
I
I
went
out
to
shirley
winston
for
the
national
night
out
yesterday
and
rode
out
there
and
the
parking
lot's
empty.
All
the
cars
are
on
the
grass
around
the
pool
that
we're
having
absolutely
they
were.
They
were
having
football
practice
right,
I'm
trying
to
figure
the
logic
you
know
and
I've
I've
gotten
complaints
about
it
before
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
the
logic
why
we
got
the
park
on
the
grass
and
the
parking
lot's
empty,
just
cars
everywhere.
G
A
K

V
E
That
process
going
forward
one
one
more
time,
city
man
just
going
forward.
I
think
you
said
there
was
a
slide.
That
said
at
the
next
council
meeting.
A
Well,
I
think
deputies
said
yeah.
A
C
Just
to
remind
everyone,
we
did
have
a
form
to
fill
out
if
you
want
to
leave
your
form.
My
email
and
phone
number
is
also
on
there.
So
you're
welcome
to
email
any
comments
or
questions,
but
if
we
can
get
your
forms
back,
it
just
better
helps
us
to
better
inform
counsel
of
everyone's
opinions,
and
there
are
some
forms
on
the
table
backed
by
director,
rob
scott,
and
thank
you
all.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
coming.
We
appreciate
it.
