A
A
One
of
my
major
concerns
I'm
happy
to
see
that
on
your
list
from
the
officials
is
broadband,
I'm
concerned
about
our
children.
I
know
this
is
not
the
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,
it's
about
60
percent.
A
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.
A
There
was
no
touch
with
the
outside
world.
There
was
no
place
to
fax
anything.
Now
I
drove
up
to
macon
road,
no
problem,
but
so
that's
one
of
the
things
I'm
looking
at
with
our
citizen,
especially
especially
those
that
are
in
public
housing.
I
remember
the
mayor
asked
me
about
what
can
we
do
to
help?
He
asked
one
of
those
ideas
about
what
can
we
do
to
help
the
south
side
and
then
I'll
go
into
my
next
bill
title
one
schools.
A
And
this
would
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.
A
A
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
had
a
couple
of
people.
Talk
called
me
today
and
talked
about
walking
trails
on
the
east
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
walking
trail.
A
So
that
was
one
of
the
things
they
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
have
the
second
largest
contingency
of
veterans,
besides
atlanta,
in
the
state
of
georgia
right
here
and
the
last
minute,
the
mayor's
administration.
A
A
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.
B
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.
B
State
delegation,
representative,
kevin
smyra
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
a-r-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,
we
were
talking
about
arp
and
we
talked
about
broadband
and
he
he
shared
with
us.
B
How
you
know
there.
There
are
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
the
arp
dollars,
you
know
the
state
has
arp
dollars
as
well
and
we
want
to
go
after
some
of
their
dollars
to
further.
B
Deal
with
our
broadband
concerns
and
and
issues
so
I
did
want
you
to
know
that
and.
B
You
addressed
title
one
schools
and,
and
and
what
you'd
like
to
to
see
there
and
of
course
we
want
to
work
with
moscow
county
school
district.
B
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.
B
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.
B
Just
as
you
pointed
out,
mr
wald
water,
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,
15
and
69
cents
or
well.
I'm
sorry,
16
an
hour
is
what
they
they
make
here
at
the
city
of
columbus.
B
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.
B
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.
B
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
we're
here
and
we're
recording-
and
we
heard
all
your
concerns-
yes,
ma'am.
B
C
C
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.
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.
C
C
You
know
I
there's
some
changes
that
could
be
made
sure
and
alleviate
some
of
it.
Yeah.
B
Well
and-
and
let
me
say
that
we're
looking
for
all
available
options
and
and
and
the
deputy
say,
the
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
option.
B
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.
B
B
B
C
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.
C
B
B
To
get
this
done,
we
are
going
to
get
the
bulk
waste
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
will
continue
to
work
hard
to
clean
it
all
up.
D
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.
D
D
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
look
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?
B
E
Yes,
so
there
is
no
duplication.
There
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.
E
A
Question,
mr
manager,
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
yeah
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.
B
That
well
and
and
yes,
we
have
considered
that
and
notice
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.
B
But
if
we
get
the
vehicles
then
they're
paid
for
and
then
we
can
afford
the
replacement
cost
because
you're
replacing
them
threes
and
four
at
a
time
every
three
years
or
so,
and
we
can
handle
that
cost,
and
so
we've
absolutely
thought
through
it.
Yes,
yes,
sir.
F
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,
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.
Loskowski,
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.
F
You
know
great
customer
service.
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.
F
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
gardens.
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.
F
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.
F
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.
F
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
because
you
look
like
you're
moving
towards
the
microphone.
E
I
do
want
to
encourage
non-profits.
I
know
we
heard
from
them
monday
evening
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,.
F
E
F
F
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,
that's
department.
F
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.
B
F
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,.
B
Well-
and
I
appreciate
those
comments
and
definite
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
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.
F
G
F
H
F
Aware
of
the
last
round
of
funding
right
right
so
and
to
address
that
one
idea
again
trying
to
think
you
know
outside
the
box
with
yeah.
F
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,
hitter
ticket,
etc.
You've
also
used
them
for
covet
direction
to
get
people
down
to
the
civic
center,
for
kobit
shots
etc.
Could
you
broadcast
via
that
means?
You
know
american
rescue
plan
funding
available,
small
business
ca,
columbus
ga.gov,
but
not
while
you're
driving.
F
B
B
F
Not
be
feasible
with
restrictions
with
the
state
and
what
you
can
put
on
those
signs,
but
something
to
at
least
explore
right,
yeah
and
then
the
last
comment
I'll
make
based
upon
what
I
heard
here
as
well,
was
with
respect
to
the
trucks
and
paying
people
to
do
it.
Yes,
a
lot
of
times
folks,
don't
know
where
to
start
to
get
a
business
license
or
where
to
start
to
get
insurance
so
or
they
don't
have
the
funds
to
do
that
right,
but
they
may
have
the
vehicle
because
it's
been
something
they
got
from.
F
F
B
Well,
let
me
just
say
in
this
particular
case,
they've
already
counseled
me
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
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.
B
F
You
don't
have
to
have
the
dollars
up
front
when
you
bring
her
first
load
in
will
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.
F
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.
B
F
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.
F
I
appreciate
everything
you're
all
doing.
I
definitely
appreciate
you
holding
the
public
meeting
to
get
input
from
the
community
yeah
council
members
definitely
appreciate
it.
Mayor
henderson
appreciate
everything
you're
doing
our
state
representative
appreciate
everything
you
guys
are
all
doing.
Thank
you
sure.
B
All
right,
thank
you
and,
let
me
just
say
no.
I
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
on
the
small
business
loans
that
we
we
did
notice
the
initial
alone,
not
loans,
but
grants
they
were
grants.
Which
means
you
didn't
you
don't
pay
it
back.
B
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
are
asking
council
for
three
million
dollars
and
and
while
the
first
round
was
four
thousand,
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.
B
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
want-
did
500
000
in
carroll's
act
to
small
business,
but
go
tell
him
we're
doing.
We
want
to
do
3
million
in
small
business
gene.
I
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.
I
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.
B
B
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.
So
we
can't
use
the
arp
money
for
that,
but
they
can
apply
for
this
three
in
this
three
million
for
another
round
and
those
grants
were
limited,
they
were
small,
they
were
small
grants.
E
I
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.
J
I
We
give
also
being
able
to
pay
the
teachers
and
the
volunteers
some
of
the
volunteers
that
can
provide
some
expertise
and
whether
it
be
extracurricular
or
tutorial
programs
for
those
community
centers
as
good
as
those
centers
are
they're
only
as
beneficial
as
the
resources
we
put
in
them
and
the,
and
that
includes
the
people
that
we
put
in
them.
So
that's
part
of
what
I'd
asked
that
we
could
put
some
of
the
money
into
that
as
well
as
the
pools.
I
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
know
you
know
in
georgia
we
have
summer.
That's.
I
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.
B
I
They're
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.
I
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.
I
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.
B
I
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
program
process
for
I'm
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.
B
That
that
was
the
startup.
I
B
I
I
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.
B
B
L
My
name
is
laquissa
russell,
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
the
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.
L
B
B
B
The
one
thing
I
vow
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.
B
B
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.
B
L
That's
my
first
thing
and
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
was
said
two
times
to
call
your
counseling.
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
him,
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
received
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
B
B
L
B
E
M
M
M
M
Remember
that
we're
not
going
to
come
with
complaints,
we
were
going
to
come
with
recommendations,
sure,
with
solutions
we're
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
nonprofit
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
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
taken
in
consideration.
All
citizens
within
the
county
and
city
of
all
socio
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,
but
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,
we
want
to
make
sure
position
is
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.
B
Absolutely
well,
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.
B
K
Hey
my
name
is
george
singer
and
the
chairman
of
the
board
for
historic
westfield.
My
cousin
julian
singer
is
the
executive
director
there
and
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
The
information
you
provided,
we
came
to
get
some
information
regarding
the
american
rescue
plan,
because,
to
be
quite
honest
with
you,
westville
is
at
a
crossroads.
Right
now,
due
to
covet
the
national
infantry
museum
is
still
closed,
which
not.
K
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
information
that
you
provided
tonight
and
we
hope
to
to
follow
up
on
this
and
to
get
the
funding
that
westfield
needs.
Now,
for
more
than
50
years,
it's
been
able
to
educate
families
and
and
students,
and
how
life
has
lived
in
the
1800s,
and
we
hope
to
be
able
to
continue
that
here
in
columbus.
B
K
N
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
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
increase
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
needs
money.
However,
we're
just
here
to
say
that
positive
thing
I'll
give
the
mic
over
to
takara.
N
O
O
O
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
averitt's
toyah
tucker
and
myself
organized
in
2020
june
of
2020..
O
Basically,
I
just
wanted
to
say
not
my
black
has.
A
purpose
is
not
here
to
say
that
other
nationalities
don't
we're
here
to
make
sure
that
we
know
that
we
do
it's
important.
I'm
sorry
give
me
a
second
y'all
lost
my
place,
we're
just.
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
B
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've
got
to
give
more
attention
to
mental
health.
So
I
I'm
with
you.
O
B
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.
B
P
P
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
nonprofits
in
the
area
like
he
was
saying
that
are
out
here,
working
and
doing
it,
making
it
happen
for
our
parents
and
our
youth.
H
I
will
say
just
to
piggyback
off
of
the
non-profit
organization
piece
after
the
the
march
last
june:
non-profits
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.
H
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.
H
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
done
the
pandemic-
and
I
thought
about
some
things,
how
can
I
give
back?
H
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.
H
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.
B
Q
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
if
the
things
I
have
tonight
are
on
the
list,
but
I
would
like
to
begin
first
with
the
frank,
chester,
recreation
center.
Q
Q
Q
I
think,
would
be
a
a
a
plus
there's,
no
walking
trail
there
and
that
that's
already
been
mentioned,
and
a
lot
of
the
seniors
walk
there
and
also
their
housing
complex
across
the
street.
From
the
fire
department.
Q
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
attain
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?
Q
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.
Q
Q
These
non-profits
have
also
suffered
from
covert
because
we
couldn't
have
fundraising.
So
if
that
can
be
considered,
there's
some
grant
money
that
might
be
available
for
non-profits.
I
know
that
would
be
greatly
appreciated
and
my
last
item
is,
I
was
so
happy
to
see
the
waste
pickup
truck
today
in
my
neighborhood
I
almost
wanted
to
stop
and
applaud.
Q
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
are
some
areas
in
the
dom
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.
B
And
so
we
we're
recording.
So
we
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
doing
some
things
with
recreation,
centers.
R
R
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.
R
R
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,
000
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.
S
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
B
S
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.
S
G
S
B
S
G
S
G
S
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.
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?
S
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?
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.
S
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.
So
it's
not
like
it's
his
fault
that
he
hung
around
all
of
those
people
that
were
millionaires
right,
but
he
just
didn't
know.
So,
if
you're.
If
my
point
is
it's
not
that
there's
favoritism
or
it's
not
that?
S
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.
S
We
don't
need
programs
that
are
going
to
say,
hey,
I'm
a
mentor,
you
I'm
a
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.
S
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.
S
B
J
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I'm
dr
jaylene
hood,
I'm
born
and
raised
in
columbus
georgia
proud
to
carve
high
school
the.
J
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
gonna,
be.
I
want
to
hit
some
very
critical
bullets
here.
J
First
of
all,
let
me
just
say
this:
I
have
a
book
here
and
this
book
reads:
the
georgia
department
of
human
resources,
division
of
public
health,
family
health
branch
office,
adolescent
health
and
youth
development,
developing
collaboration
with
the
institute
on
human
development,
disability
or
university
of
georgia,
education,
research
and
service.
J
You
know
I
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.
J
So
we
have
individual
organizations
in
this
community,
but
we
don't
have
the
collaboration,
so
we
can
do
it
in
a
comprehensive
way.
We
have
a
correctness.
Everyone
has
to
be
trained.
Prior
planning
prevents
poor
performance.
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.
J
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
device.
I
know
you
have
to
look
at
the
watch
now,
but
my
point
is:
we
have
to
do
the
human
development,
so
my
point
very
simply
is
this:
we
need
a
socio-economic
infrastructure,
okay
through
collaboration,
but
we
have
to
be
taught
how
to
do
that.
J
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.
J
J
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.
J
They
talked
about
big
brother.
We
don't
need
big
brother.
We
need
community,
so
there's
a
there's,
a
private.
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.
J
So
when
they
go
back
into
the
village
and
everyone
comes
back
and
reassemble
and
say,
chief,
do
you
for
fine?
He
said:
okay,
now
we
can
sleep,
we
can't
sleep
in
columbus
georgia
because
we
have
not
put
together
the
collaboration
that
was
required
and
the
training
that
people
need
to
build.
They're
all
we're
talking
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.
B
You
for
your
comments.
Anyone
else
like
to
speak.
T
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.
G
T
At
that,
the
apr
being
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.
T
T
Now
you're
12
people
short,
who
are
you
going
to
have
to
operate
these
trucks
that
you
don't
have
positions
field
for?
We
need
to
take
and
look
at
one
like,
like
doctor,
said
social
economic,
invest
taking
it
and
look
at
bringing
up
the
paid
compared
to
other
cities
like
macon,
savannah,
augusta
those
kids.
T
T
T
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
making
road
to
go
swimming
or
they
don't
have
the
access
to
go
into
these
gyms.
T
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
it
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.
B
Thank
you,
sir,
for
your
comments.
Anyone
else.
U
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
sherlock
winston
and
we
walk
at
britt
david
vast
difference,
the
pool
there-
and
I
know
it's
coveted,
so
I'm
not
asking
to
do
anything,
I'm
not
asking
for
anything.
U
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.
B
U
U
That's
great
well,
that
was
my
question.
I
wanted
to
know
what
budget
has
the
parks
and
wrecks
in
it?
I
don't
know
about
the
darc,
I
don't
know,
but
I
wanted
to
know
what
budget
addresses
the
parks
and
wrecks,
because
if
that's
been
a
concern,
then
we've
needed
to
move
it
along,
not
just
for
shirley
winston,
but
other
places
that
have
similar.
U
G
U
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
the
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.
B
U
B
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.
U
E
G
B
Great
and-
and
you
know
just
to
come
in,
I
was
frustrated
yesterday
and
I
shared
that
with
the
mayor
this
morning.
B
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.
B
They
were,
they
were
having
football
practices,
I'm
trying
to
figure
the
logic
you
know
and
I've
gotten
complaints
about
it
before
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
the
logic
why
we
got
the
park
on
the
grass
yes
and
the
parking
lot
is
empty.
