A
We'll
do
the
same,
and
then
we
will
go
back
to
city
council
with
what
we
shared
with
them
on
last
tuesday,
what
we
heard
from
you
and
then
we
will
make
further
recommendations
to
them,
based
on
what
we
hear
from
you,
the
citizens
and
and
then
we'll
leave
it
to
council
to
make
any
final
decisions
as
to
how
we
spend
the
first
half
the
first
portion
of
the
american
rescue
dollars
that
we
have
received.
A
B
Thank
you,
ms
city
manager.
I
won't
be
redundant
I'll,
just
say
good
evening.
Thank
you
for
playing
such
a
vital
role
in
this
process.
I
will
acknowledge
the
counselors
that
are
here.
Councilor
house,
of
course,
is
here
and
who
else
I
say
I
saw
some
answer.
Counselor
council
tucker
is
here,
ran
into
her
in
the
parking
lot.
We
were
dodging
the
lightning
together
now
this
is
this.
B
Is
the
last
year
and
a
half
there
have
been
so
many
parts
of
our
community
have
been
impacted
by
by
the
virus,
both
directly
and
indirectly,
a
lot
of
aspects
within
the
city
government,
but
a
lot
of
businesses.
A
lot
of
organizations
that
are
in
our
community,
and
so
our
focus
is
quite
simple-
is
to
find
the
best
way
to
heal
the
most
people,
with
the
amount
of
money
that
we
have
allotted
to
us,
and
to
do
that
it
makes
no
sense
not
to
include
the
people
in
the
community.
B
B
We
do
know
that
right
now
there
is
a
second
payment
scheduled
so
as
we
work
our
way
through
this
it
it's
worth
keeping
in
mind
that
if
something
doesn't
fit
in
this
round,
it
may
very
well
fit
in
the
next
round.
But
but
again,
thank
you
all
for
being
here,
because
you
are
a
critical
part
of
this
process.
Thank
you.
C
Good
evening
I
am
pam
hodge
deputy
city
manager,
our
other
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
and
I
are
going
to
share
this
presentation
this
evening.
I'll
have
the
first
half
and
she'll
come
up
in
and
have
the
second
half
with
the
closing
remarks,
so
just
to
start
to
give
you
some
history
on
the
american
rescue
plan.
You
know
it
was
passed
by
the
house
in
february.
C
C
The
second
one
was
the
response
to
the
workers
performing
these
essential
services.
Revenue
replacement
for
the
government
and
investments
in
water
sewer
broadband
infrastructure.
Now
this
is
just
the
362
million
of
how
those
funds
can
be
spent
that
are
allocated
to
the
state
and
local
government.
So
there
is
obviously
a
whole
lot
of
other
portions
of
the
american
rescue
plan
in
different
categories.
But
what
we're
talking
about
this
evening
is
only
that
allocation
to
the
city.
C
So,
as
a
consolidated
government,
we
qualify
as
both
a
county
and
a
city,
and
so
there
are
is
an
allocation
for
cities.
We
are
entitled
to
40
million
as
a
county,
38
million,
so
for
a
total
allocation
to
the
columbus
consolidated
government
is
78.4
million
dollars
and
the
way
this
is
done
is
in
two
rounds.
So
the
first
round
we
receive
half.
C
We
received
the
city
portion
of
20.2
million.
On
june
7.,
we
received
the
50
of
the
county
portion,
which
is
just
over
19
million
on
june
14th
for
our
total
allocation
of
the
first
50
percent,
which
we're
calling
the
first
phase
is
39
million
and
then
we're
anticipating
the
second
phase
of
funding
to
be
distributed
within
12
months
of
the
first
phase.
So
next
june
we
should
receive
the
second
phase
of
funding.
C
Again,
the
interim
final
rule
was
issued
in
may.
It
was
open
for
comments
through
july
16th.
To
date
we
have
still
not
received
the
final
rule
related
to
the
guidance
of
how
these
funds
can
be
spent.
So
everything
that
we
have
been
doing
and
looking
at
relates
back
to
the
interim
final
rule.
It
is
a
151-page
document.
There's
also
a
frequently
asked
questions
that
the
treasury
has
issued
related
to
this
funding.
C
It
started
out
as
an
18-page
document.
It's
now
a
42-page
document,
so
things
have
been
evolving
and
changing
over
time,
since
this
rule
was
originally
put
out
in
may
so
we're
moving
forward
cautiously.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
anything
that
these
funds
are
utilized
for
is
that
they're
in
the
final
rule
and
our
allowable
expenses.
Otherwise
the
government
will
be
required
to
reimburse
any
of
those
expenses.
So
it's
very
important
that
we
proceed
cautiously.
C
There's
also
an
allowance
for
revenue
recovery
for
the
government.
We've
gone
through
that
calculation
for
2020,
our
allocation
for
revenue
recovery
can
be
3.5
million,
and
that
is
city-wide.
It's
not
just
by
individual
revenue
source.
It's
based
on
the
revenue
for
the
entire
government,
based
on
a
formula
provided
through
the
treasury.
C
These
are
just
some
of
the
department
requests
that
we
received
related
to
the
impact
to
their
particular
department,
anywhere
from
facility
upgrades
to
infrastructure
requirements
to
furniture
and
flooring
replacement
so
ambulances.
So
a
multitude
of
items
we
receive
from
departments
related
to
how
the
pandemic
has
impacted
them.
C
So
what
we
have
done
through
our
internal
department
is
reviewed
all
those
requests
and
outlined
priorities
that
we
felt
should
be
considered
by
city
council,
and
this
is
for
discussion
to
get
the
discussion
started.
This
is
not
the
final
list.
Council
is
still
deliberating
over
how
these
funds
will
be
allocated
in
the
end,
and
so
we'll
go
through
a
couple
of
these
in
more
detail.
C
The
first
one
is
automation
of
the
garbage
collection
process
at
19.5
million
and
deputy
city
manager.
Lisa
goodwin
will
go
through
that
particular
one
in
more
detail
revenue
recovery,
which
I
mentioned
earlier-
small
business
grants
and
I'll
go
through
a
little
bit
of
detail
on
how
that
might
work
and
how
it's
worked
in
a
previous
funding
source
ambulances
at
2.1
million
the
community
safeguard
program
which
can
include
cure
violence
or
cameras
or
any
other
programs.
C
So,
just
to
spend
a
few
minutes
on
the
small
business
grants
and
how
that
program
has
worked
through
another
funding
source
through
the
cares
act.
This
was
done
through
our
cdbg
program.
Director
rob
scott
is
here.
So
if
there's
specific
questions
related
to
that
program,
he's
here
to
answer
those,
but
the
community
reinvestment
department
worked
with
startup
columbus
and
the
greater
columbus
chamber
of
commerce
on
a
program
for
small
businesses.
C
It
could
be
used
for
rent
and
mortgage
payments,
employee
payroll
utilities,
and
it
was
really
to
provide
assistance
through
continued
employment
of
low
to
mod
income
individuals.
The
cdbg
program
is
a
hud
program,
and
so
there
were
stipulations
in
this
particular
program
that
had
to
meet
hud
guidelines.
C
And
these
were
the
eligibility
requirements
for
this
particular
program.
It
was
for-profit
businesses.
They
had
to
be
current
with
city
business,
license
in
good
standing,
meaning
your
property
taxes.
If
you
owed
any
were
paid
your
occupation,
taxes
were
paid
from
one
to
25
employees.
You
had
to
have
physical
presence
in
muskogee
county.
C
C
D
Thank
you,
deputy
city
manager,
hodge,
and
thank
you
for
for
being
here,
and
I
really
want
to
start
with
just
sharing
with
you
what
our
waste
collection
priorities
are
for
the
city.
I
think
you've
heard
often
and
many
times
that
our
number
one
pickup
is
household
waste
we
have
to
by
regulation
must
pick
that
up.
That
cannot
be
delayed.
D
Our
second
is
recycling,
so
recycling
we
pick
up
after
that
then
yard
waste
and
then
bulk
weights.
Now
let
me
tell
you
the
difference
in
yard,
waste
and
bulk
waste
yard
waste
is
what
you
place
out
in
terms
of
leaves,
or
grass
clippings
bagged
or
containerized
the
vehicle
that
actually
comes
through
to
pick
up
yard
waste.
Is
the
rear
loaders.
D
Just
like
what
you
see
in
terms
of
household
garbage
collection,
that's
the
truck
that
will
come
by
and
pick
up
the
yard
waste
again
grass
clippings
in
bags
and
or
containerized.
Then
you
have
the
bulky
waste.
The
bulky
waste
is
what
the
grab
all
trucks,
those
large
one-man
crew
trucks-
will
come
by
and
pick
up.
That's
the
household,
that's
the
the
white
goods
like
the
refrigerators
or
the
mattresses.
D
D
D
again,
the
14
are
the
ones
with
the
inmates
on
the
back.
So
that's
14..
That's
your
50
right
there
that
comes
to
50
and
that's
what
we
currently
have
on
staff
50,
waste
collection
operators,
50
of
them
we've
not
talked
about
bulk
waste.
Yet
now
bulk
waste,
we
have
again
12
vacancies
with
bulk
ways
and
in
order
for
us
to
ensure
that
the
household
waste
is
taken
care
of,
because
you
have
people
that
drivers
are
going
to
call
out
who
are
sick,
those
are
on
vacation.
D
Those
who
just
don't
show
up
well,
we
have
to
then
pull
from
bulk
waste
and
or
yard
waste
to
augment
the
recycling
in
the
household
services,
so
which
means
the
last
one
to
get
serviced
is
bulky
waste
because
those
are
the
drivers
we
have
to
pull
and
supplant
in
the
other
pickup
areas,
and
so
that
is
really
where
we
are
and
why
we
are
where
we
are
in
terms
of
bulk
waste
not
being
collected
because
we're
pulling
from
peter
to
pay
paul.
That's
in
a
nutshell,
that's
how
it's
being
handled
so
again.
D
D
Now
we've
had
a
number
of
questions
that
have
come
to
us
regarding
you
know,
pickup
and
grab
alls
or
you
know
any
of
our
waste
types,
and
the
first
question
is:
why
not
purchase
more
grab
all
trucks
to
pick
up
bulk
waste?
D
D
D
The
plan
is
a
phased
approach
over
a
three
year
period
and
again
I'll
talk
about
and
see,
tell
you
how
that's
going
to
work,
but
that's
purchasing
household
yard,
waste
and
recycling
trucks,
and
then
we
update
our
vehicle
replacement
schedule
by
purchasing
so
many
every
year
in
order
to
keep
our
fleet
healthy.
That's
what
it's
going
to
take,
but
of
course,
we've
had
to
defer
capital
expenses
over
the
years
and
now
is
the
opportunity
for
us
to
think
about
purchasing
under
this
new
plan.
D
So
that's
where
we
are
with
being
able
to
even
talk
about
you
know
purchasing
additional
vehicles.
Another
question
is
that
it
appears
to
be
a
lot
of
money
for
a
system.
We
don't
yet
understand
that
will
not
pick
up
bulk
waste
and
the
where
they
said.
The
lot
of
money
is
what
deputy
c
manager
talked
about
in
the
arp
presentation:
the
19.5
million
dollars
for
automated
trucks.
D
D
We
can
now
divert
inmates
to
other
serious
issues
that
we
have
throughout
the
community,
litter
being
one
of
those
we
can
put
them
out
picking
up
litter,
in
addition
to
other
things
that
we
really
are
in
dire
straits
of
and
need
those
inmates
in
our
parks
in
our
buildings
and
our
roads,
our
rights
of
ways
they
could
be
used
in
that
manner,
and
so
again
we
utilize
inmates
for
all
of
our
waste
pickups
right
now,
except
for
the
bulky
waste,
which
is
the
grab
balls,
because
that's
a
one-man
operation
already
and
we're
trying
to
automate
to
get
everything
else
in
that
shape.
D
D
D
Picking
up
trucks
council
approved
back
in
late
may,
the
use
of
a
third-party
contractor
that
third-party
contractor
started
work
with
five
trucks,
a
three-man
crews
on
each
of
those
trucks
on
june,
the
21st,
and
so
they
have
been
out
there
doing
and
providing
the
service
ever
since,
and
so
that,
just
now
we
have
19
yard
waste
trucks
out
there,
utilizing
19
routes,
they're
supplanting
and
helping
us
pull
that
together
and
again,
keep
in
mind
your
waste
is
the
bagged
and
containerized
waste
yard
waste,
not
the
bulky
stuff,
not
the
big
stuff
that
you
still
see
out
there,
that's
a
bulky
waste,
and
so
I
do
want
to
remind
citizens.
D
You
know
what
what
you
will
see
you're
going
to
see
the
the
rear
loaders
come
through
your
house,
come
through
your
property
and
they're,
going
to
pick
up
the
bags
and
the
containerization.
D
You
may
have
the
large
piles
of
limbs.
Still
there
they're
going
to
pass
by
and
not
pick
that
up,
and
then
you
may
call
and
say
they
skip.
They
didn't
pick
this
up.
Well,
there's
another
truck
that
does
that,
and
so,
when
you
see
them
going
down,
just
know
that
they're
very
specific
in
what
they're
there
to
pick
up
another
truck
will
then
come
by
and
pick
up
the
big
stuff.
That's
totally
different.
D
So
just
know
that
again,
then,
you
have
again
am
waste
that
supplants
that
now
on
july,
the
27th
council
approved
yet
another
amended
contract
to
the
original
amways
contract
for
another
five
trucks,
three-man
crew,
another
1.7
million
dollars
to
help
us
aggressively
aggressively
tackle
the
issue
of
yard
waste.
Now
what
that
means
for
us
is
that
now
that
we're
going
to
have
10
trucks
out
there,
assisting
our
yard
with
yard
waste,
we
can
now
pull
five
of
our
folk
from
yard
waste
from
that
14.
D
We're
gonna,
pull
five
of
ours
and
then
put
them
on
bulky
ways.
That
way.
We
know
we
have
a
dedicated
crew
every
day,
dealing
with
yard
waste
and
the
10
amways
are
now
going
to
assist
the
other
nine
city.
Public
works
area
with
with
keeping
the
yard
waste
up.
We
want
to
continue.
We
don't
want
to
get
behind
on
that,
so
we
want
to
keep
that
up.
D
But
right
now,
what's
critical
is
the
bulky
waste,
the
big
piles
of
stuff
and
that's
what
those
five
will
be
able
to
do
each
and
every
day
we're
not
doing
it
on
just
certain
certain
days.
I
have
them
out
there
every
day
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
making
sure
that
we
aggressively
tackle
the
issue
of
bulky
waste.
D
That's
what
that
is
for
now
back
to
the
arp
purchase
of
the
automated
trucks
and
the
program
that
we're
talking
about
and
what
deputy
city
manager
hodge
has
outlined
it
for
us
in
year,
one
we
are
going
to
be
looking
to
purchase
all
the
containers
needed
for
household
yard,
waste
and
recycling,
and
so
well
yard
waste
in
household
garbage.
I'm
sorry
year,
one
along
with
24
trucks
for
household
garbage,
24
trucks,
and
you
say
you
said
that
there
were
26
routes.
D
That's
out
there,
it
takes
it.
It's
a
whole
new.
You
know
animal
by
itself.
So
a
deal
crime
is
involved
because
wherever
there's
trash
and
debris
and
slum,
then
things
happen.
We've
got
to
clean
up
the
city,
and
this
is
part
of
doing
that.
So,
in
summary,
we
don't
have
an
issue
again
with
trucks
for
picking
up
the
bulky
waste.
We
need
drivers,
and
so
we
do
appeal
to
anybody.
That's
out
there.

Good
evening,
everyone
good
evening,
arisha
z,
lawrence
here
with
the
music
and
entertainment
council,
have
another
founding
member
windham.
In
the
back
with
us
mek,
we
basically
work
to
protect,
stabilize
connect,
sustain
and
grow
a
music
economy
within
this
particular
city.
Our
goal
is
to
create
columbus
and
make
it
a
music
city
define
it.
So,
with
that
said,
the
musicians
are
usually
left
out
larger
venues.
Yes,
they
are
covered
in
these
type
initiatives.
However,
smaller
venues
promoters
gig
workers,
musicians
of
that
nature.
They
usually
aren't
considered.
F
So
looking
at
some
statistics,
the
american
rescue
plan
act
offers
an
opportunity
for
communities
to
invest
in
themselves
and
music
is
an
effective
tool
to
do
so.
The
music
and
nighttime
economy
suffers
consistent,
primarily
of
very
small
businesses
and
sole
proprietors
music
is
the
heartbeat
of
america,
a
part
of
life
everywhere.
It
attracts
modern
jobs,
suited
to
the
21st
century
and
is
proven
talent,
retention
tool,
music
is
technologically
advanced
and
can
be
created
and
distributed
from
anywhere
with
careful
and
intentional
investment.
Music
and
the
nighttime
economy
can
improve
communities.
F
It
breathes
life
and
regenerates
main
streets,
downtowns
and
empty
buildings.
It
is
used
to
market
destinations,
it
can
be
sustainable
with
a
robust
strategy
action
plan
and
a
set
of
community-led
initiatives.
It
would
deliver
economic,
social
and
cultural
benefits
that
we
can
measure
and
track
with
that
stated,
our
goal
is
to
receive
funding,
so
we
can
have
a
recovery
and
nighttime
economy
impact
strategy
done
within
this
city,
one
to
become
a
music
city
but
two
to
recover.
F
C
So,
just
also
to
respond
to
you,
you
know,
musicians
would
meet
the
small
business
as
one
to
25
employees,
and
so,
if
you
missed
this
first
round
through
the
cdbg
program,
we
are
allocating
or
recommending
to
allocate
funding
to
small
business
program,
which
is
a
sole
proprietor.
You
would
qualify
as
long
as
you
meet
the
other
requirements
in
the
program.
A
C
A
You
and
just
as
a
reminder
as
a
reminder,
the
cares
act
was
a
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
dollars
with
up
to
four
thousand
or
four
thousand
dollar
grants
right
right
now.
What
we
are
recommending
proposing
to
city
council
is
three
million,
and
this
is
the
first
round
in
the
second
round.
We
don't
know
how
much
that
would
be,
but
this
would
be
three
million
and,
as
you
heard,
the
deputies
say,
the
managers
say
we're
looking
at
a
different
amount.
A
It
could
be,
let's
say
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
per
grant,
and
so
this
has
been
something
the
mayor
has
talked
about.
Since
the
cures
act,
we
were,
we
thought
we
were
going
to
get
a
second
round
in
the
carers
act
from
the
state
and
we
did
not,
and
but
we
still,
we
were
able
to
pull
off
a
hundred
and
twelve
thousand,
but
now
we're
talking
three
million.
So
that's
considerably
more.
F
G
Good
evening
everybody,
my
name
is
jerome
lawson
and
I'm
a
business
owner
here
in
columbus
georgia.
I
got
a
food
truck
called
twist
skillet
on
13th
street
and
in
regards
to
this
comment
card,
I
really
don't
see
anything
in
regards
to
the
black
community.
On
this
page,
I
see
where
it
says:
community
safeguard
programs
to
include
cure
violence
and
cameras.
G
G
We
need
to
honor
them
with
the
funding
that
this
act
is.
For
so
I
mean
automation
of
garage
of
garbage
collection.
I
mean
the
city
is
the
one
who
reduced
collection
of
revenue
recovery
where
we,
the
city,
gets
revenue
from
the
state,
this
small
business
grants.
I
agree
with
that.
Ambulances
and
community
safeguard
programs.
I
agree
those
to
premium
pay
for
public
safety
and
other
essential
employees,
storm
water
infrastructure.
We
already
have
a
budget
for
those
things.
We
don't
need
to
juice
up
the
things
that
we
can
fix
ourselves.
A
A
A
The
recent
grants
through
cdbg,
my
wife,
owns
a
state
farm
insurance
agency
and
I
was
telling
her
about
the
people
who
got
the
four
thousand
dollars
and
she
says
why
didn't
you
tell
me
about
it,
and
I
know
people
and
that's
just
to
say
that
people
get
busy
and
had
she
been
watching,
she
would
have
applied
to
get
four
thousand
dollars
too.
I
didn't
go
home
and
say
carol
and
apply
for
four
thousand
dollars.
A
She
was
not
watching
and
she
asked
me
and
she,
why
didn't
you
tell
me?
Well
I
say
that
to
say
that
we've
got
to
be
vigilant:
we've
got
to
stay
in
tune.
Watch,
city,
council
meeting
watch
the
news
you
got
to
know
what's
going
on
because
I'm
looking
at
the
list
and
that's
there's
diversity-
diversity
in
that
list
of
those
who
got
that
four
thousand
dollars
and-
and
I
knew
there
was
diversity
because
I
signed
the
letter
that
they
received
to
grant
them
the
four
thousand
dollars.
A
I
signed
the
letters
to
send
to
them
and,
and
then
people
ask
well,
how
did
you
advertise
or
promote
it
was
on
social
media?
It
was
at
city
council.
We
had
briefings,
rob
scott
talked
about
it
at
the
small
business
forum
and
we're
telling
people
right
now
that
there's
three
million
dollars
that's
going.
If
council
approves
this,
that
will
be
available
for
small
business.
A
A
And
I'm
being
redundant
because
I
want
people
to
hear
that
we
anticipate
the
mayor
has
advocated
for
it
it's
one
of
his
pet,
his
his
babies.
He
wants
to
see
the
small
business
loans,
rents
and
I
think
it's
likely
going
to
be
there.
A
I
heard
someone
said
a
recent
meeting
that
athens
had
put
in
500
000
at
some
point
in
the
past
that
we're
talking
3
million
in
the
first
round.
3
million
go
tell
your
friends
if
you're
watching
by
television
just
remember
just
be
on
the
watch
for
the
grant
application
process,
because
there
will
be
an
opportunity
to
get
small
business
grants
it's
going
to
be
on
social
media.
It's
going
to
be
on
the
city
website.
A
It's
going
to
be
on
ccg
tv,
we're
going
to
tell
it
everywhere
we
go,
and
then
it's
up
to
small
business,
black
business,
whoever
qualifies
to
know
that
it
exists
and
to
apply
and
those
who
had
all
of
their
documentation
in
order
they
got
the
four
thousand
dollars,
and
so
it's.
I
hope
that
people
will
pay
attention
and
go
after
that
three
million
dollars.
Your
portion
of
the
three
million
dollars
grant.
We
didn't
say
loan
we
said
grant,
so
please
be
attentive
other
comments
or
questions.
E
Hello,
my
name
is
the
antoine
henderson.
I
am.
The
ceo
of
a
non-profit
organization
called
true
story,
outreach
inc
and
something
that
caught
my
attention
that
I
wanted
to
see.
If
I
can
get
more
clarification
on,
is
the
community
safeguard
program
to
include
cure
violence
and
cameras
with
all
the
depths
that
we
have
with
our
youth
and
from
age
14
ranging
up?
Is
there
a
breakdown
or
idea
how
that
money
is
going
to
be
spent?
Is
it
available
to
nonprofits
to
get
or
just
how
that
money
is
planned
to
be
spent?
Well.
A
The
two
examples
that
you
saw
mentioned
cure
violence
and
and
cameras.
I
will
mention:
cure
violence
first
and
and
you've
heard
in
recent
weeks
last
few
months
to
talk
about
a
study
where
they
would
come
to
town
and
look
at
zip
codes
and
identify
intruders.
A
A
A
Violence
is
a
program
that
has
proven
effective
in
chicago
and
new
york
and
some
other
places,
and
we
have
a
a
none
city
government
team
who
has
studied,
looked
into
cure
violence
and
and
they've
been
going
around
the
city,
doing
forums
and
presentations
and
telling
the
citizens
how
that
program
works,
and
so
there's
a
chance.
We
could
invest
in
that
cameras
would
be
a
comprehensive
camera
system
throughout
the
city.
We
have
little
problems
and
crime,
as
you
said,
throughout
the
city,
but
not
just
in
columbus.
A
We've
got
a
lot
of
cameras
right
now,
people
don't
know,
but
but
we've
got
hundreds
of
cameras
throughout
the
city
in
various
various
city
departments
right
now,
but
we
are
going
to
look
at
a
camera
system
that
we
that
all
will
sync
together
and
and
they're
going
to
be
mobile,
some
of
them
portable.
A
You
can
move
them
around,
but
in
areas
that
are
hot
spots,
because
we
want
to
try
and
catch
people
who
not
only
litter
but
commit
other
crimes
in
the
act
so
that
we
have
them
on
camera
and
that
we
can
bring
them
to
justice
and
so
we're
looking
at
a
comprehensive
camera
system.
Citywide
that
will
assist
our
public
safety
and
city
government
officials
in
curtailing
blight
and
some
of
the
other
criminal
acts
that
are
going.
That's
going
on
around
the.
A
The
team
it's
it's
composed
of
a
group
of
locals
right
now,
a
local
team,
it's
reggie
lewis,
I
don't
know
if
you
know
reggie
former
police
officer,
it's
a
cedric
heal
it's
dr
sante
hilt
with
public
health,
cedric
hill,
jr
and
there's
one
other
epidemiologist
on
that
team.
That
has
worked
hard
to
do
the
cure
violence
thing
to
take
a
close
look
at
where
the
violence
is
occurring.
I
mean
it
gets
down
to
really
nitty-gritty
detail
based
on
zip
code.
A
They
look
at
every
criminal
act,
murder
in
every
zip
code
and
they
identify
the
problem
and
then
they
work
on
the
solution.
Okay,
thank
you
yeah,
but
that's
an
excellent
question.
Okay
and-
and
we
need
to
say
your
name
again,
the
antoine
henderson.
Okay,
because
I
mean
you
know
if
you're
interested
in
helping.
A
Yes,
we
need
to
know
that
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
connect
you
to
those
who
are
working
so
hard
on
this.
So
let
them
know
that
you're
interested.
E
Definitely
that's
a
major
concern
because
even
if
we're
going
to
bring
the
crimes
out,
how
are
we
putting
money
in
to
actually
fix
those
crime
affected
areas
because
typically
it's
poverty
or
something
that
draws
them
to
actually
so
you
can
pull
the
crime
out
absolutely
which
fixes
one
solution,
but
if
they
still
don't
have
anything
that
says
hey,
I
can
get
a
job
I
can
eat
because
you
have
17
or
18
year
olds.
That's
the
man
of
the
house.
E
A
I'm
going
to
ask
deputy
city
manager
goodwin
if
she
would
get
your
contact
information.
Thank
you
so
that
we'll
have
it
and
we
can
refer
it
and
not
only
to
them,
but
we
need
help
at
city
hall
as
well,
especially
young,
african-american,
males,
like
yourself,
we
can.
We
can
use
your
your
your
thoughts,
your
your
involvement,
yeah
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
Came
as
good
see,
young
african-american,
males,
involved
and
and
and
willing.
E
To
help
yes-
and
I
talk
with
my
brother
all
the
time,
so
that's
why
I
established
a
non-profit
organization,
I'm
actually
a
minister,
so
I
want
to
get
my
boots
on
the
ground
and
actually
take
a
turn.
This
is
a
city
that
I
was
born
and
raised
in
and
it's
sad
to
see
so
many
youth,
that's
actually
getting
killed
going
inside
of
the
schools
and
you
see
the
same
repeated
cycle,
but
there's
no
solution.
A
A
E
G
All
right
to
figure
back
out
from
brother
hill,
the
biggest
thing
that's
contributing
to
our
violence
in
our
communities.
We
know
it's
because
of
lack
of
resources.
We
know
we
need
jobs
for
our
young
children.
We
need
them
to
be
accountable
to
something.
G
G
So
once
we
get
our
youth
to
see
that
we're
not
against
each
other,
we
just
have
to
find
a
medium
to
make
this
all
work,
and
and
once
they
see
that
the
city
is
for
them
and
wants
to
support
them
and
wants
to
see
them
be
productive
citizens.
I
think
they'll
begin
to
come
out
of
the
shell
a
little
bit,
but
right
now
we
have
a
breach
of
trust,
and
that
happens
when
promises
that
are
made
are
not
honored.
G
We
have
people
who
just
don't
have
clarification
over
some
things
like
we
was
talking
about
the
grants
that
each
each
business
got
on
your
board
here
grants
a
lot
like
you
talking
about
your
wife.
You
you
ain't
telling
me
you
didn't
tell
her
about
it,
because
you
didn't.
You
know
you
didn't
feel
like
you
had
to,
because
it
was
promoted
right.
G
G
We
can
make
this
all
work,
because
all
you
again
all
they
need
is
the
availability
of
employment
and
some
of
these
small
businesses.
They
will
be
able
to
do
that
if
the
city
gets
behind
them.
That's
why
I
mentioned
the
black
community,
because
that's
really
what
what
the
weather,
what
the
issues
are
really
are.
You
know
everybody
has
issues.
You
know
we're
talking
about
elizabeth
canning,
winston
road.
G
You
know
east
highland
places
like
this,
where
we
know
we
need
to
get
in
there
and
regenerate
some
things,
and
we
got
vacant
buildings
around
here
that
can
be
occupied,
that
the
city
can
take
responsibility
for
and
put
people
in
place
to
facilitate
whatever
programs
they
need,
but
if
they
don't
have
no
outlets,
the
things
and
the
problems
are
going
to
continue
to
circulate
within
those
communities
and
ultimately
become
and
continue
to
become
their
detriment.
Yeah.
G
G
A
G
A
A
G
A
H
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
putting
this
together.
Ed
wolverton,
25,
west
10th
street
appreciate
the
information
you
provided.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment,
not
necessarily
looking
for
a
reaction,
but
I
would
like
for
a
council
and
staff
to
consider
additional
expansions
of
this
looking
at
the
expenditure
categories
dealing
with
the
negative
economic
impacts
from
from
the
cobit,
specifically
for
aid
to
tourism,
travel
and
hospitality,
as
well
as
aid
to
non-profits.
H
A
Mayor
other
questions
or
comments.
I
Almost
feel
like
we
should
just
turn
the
meeting
over
to
them:
yeah,
really
because
it's
entrepreneurship
and
social
service
in
our
community.
That's
going
to
help
us
put
our
society
back
together
again.
This
pandemic
has
pulled
at
the
threads
of
society,
of
government
and
of
institutions
all
across
this
city
and
all
across
this
nation,
and
I'm
the
agility
and
the
creativity
that
comes
with
keeping
these
kinds
of
institutions
and
enterprises
alive
is
is
what's
going
to
deliver
the
goods
for
columbus,
georgia.
I
am
one
of
the
old
guides.
I
I
don't
know
if
you've
noticed
I've
been
in
columbus
and
serving
the
springer
opera
house
for
33
years
now,
and
so,
but
I'm
old,
but
I'm
here
to
fight
for
the
young
people
all
right.
I
it's
my
honor
to
fight
for
the
youngsters
whose
lives
in
our
schools
and
communities
that
the
springer
opera
house
has
partnerships
with
is
really
keeping
us
alive
and
and
motivated.
I
I
would
like
to
speak
to,
and
I
understand
that
you're
still
waiting
for
guidance
and
guidelines
on
how
this
money
can
be
spent,
but
I
would
like
to
put
one
sector
of
the
community's
success
and
strengths
on
the
table.
Please
and
that's
the
art,
arts
and
culture.
I
Why
are
they
coming
they're
coming
in
large
part
because
of
the
arts
and
and
culture
here
we
are
part
of
if
not
a
leadership
figure
in
the
economic
engine
that
keeps
columbus
georgia
alive,
produces
jobs,
collects
sales,
tax
revenue,
hotel,
motel,
tax
revenue
that
keeps
this
big
engine
running
and
ultimately
it
comes
down
to
the
fact
that
the
the
business
model
of
theaters,
like
the
springer
opera
house
and
the
river
center
for
the
performing
arts,
which
I'm
not
speaking
on
behalf
of
today,
but
they
they're
facing
the
same
thing
we
are.
I
I
People
have
all
kinds
of
feelings
about
when
they
will
feel
comfortable
coming
back
into
a
group
setting
and
we're
going
to
have
to
deal
with
that
and
it's
going
to
be
stretched
out
over
a
period
of
years.
So
I
would
just
ask
the
city
what
I've
I've
seen
today
looks
like
you
are
trying
to
drill
deep
on
the
needs
of
the
city,
the
needs
of
the
community,
and
I
just
ask
that
you
consider
the
fact
that
an
important
sector
of
this
city
is
hurting
right
now
and
that's
arts
and
culture.
A
Well
and
again,
you
know,
I
appreciate
those
comments
and
I'm
serious.
We
had
a
meeting
this
morning
and
that
was
a
focus
of
the
mayor
and
on
both
the
issues
that
you
guys
have
talked
about.
So
I
know
that
he's
focused
on
that
and-
and
we
hear
you
and
when
we
go
back
to
council,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
will
make
sure
that
those
things
are
listed
as
critical
concerns
that
were
brought
to
the
table.
By
from
this
meeting.
I
A
You
any
other
questions,
comments,
recommendations.
A
A
This
is
the
first
round
of
monies
and
we
do
expect
a
second
round
that
will
bring
our
total
right.
Now.
We've
we've
received,
as
the
deputy
city
manager
indicated
just
over
39
million
and
and
there's
another
39
million,
or
so
that
we
we
expect
to
receive,
and
so
this
is
the
first
round
final
questions
comments,
recommendations,
