A
We

We

A
A
A
First

I
would

all
those
in
order
to
say
all
right
there,
any
any
member
of
council
who
opposes
it
all
right
they
are.
They
are
approved
a
couple
couple
of
of
announcements
I
have
on
on
my
agenda,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
for
assistance
in
going
through
a
couple
of
them.
One
is.
H
A
And
and
or
your
your
screen
and
that
way,
if
you
have,
if
you
want
to
speak,
just
we'll
be
able
to
see
if
you
turn
your
turn
your
mic
on,
but
I
did
want
to
make
mention
that
we
are
going
to
be
meeting
in
person
at
the
civic
center
on
the
26th.
It
will
be
carefully
distanced
and
spaced
as
we
meet
we'll
probably
set
up
on
the
floor,
mr
city
manager,
are
you?
Are
you
available
to
give
any
additional
information.
J
C
Thank
you,
mr
city
manager
and
good
morning.
Yes
on
may
the
26th
we
are
scheduled
to
have
our
council
meeting
there
at
the
civic
center.
Everything
will
be
on
the
arena
floor.
We
will
have
council
set
up,
as
you
would
see
it
right
now,
socially
distance
apart.
Each
of
the
council
will
have
their
individual
microphones
and
nothing
will
change
in
terms
of
how
how
it's
conducted,
we
will
have
on
the
floor
also
space
for
citizens
to
come
and
be
a
part
of
that
again.
We
will
have
socially
distance.
C
The
chairs
will
be
set
apart.
We
will
also
have
a
microphone
in
the
center,
as
we
would
do
in
a
as
a
public
meeting,
so
that
those
who
wish
to
speak
or
those
who
are
on
public
agenda
will
be
able
to
come
up
and
to
speak.
So,
yes,
it's
plenty
of
room
on
the
floor
and
and
everything
will
be
set
up
and
for
june,
the
22
for
may
the
26th
and,
of
course,
the
june
9th
meeting
as
well.
A
C
A
K
J
Yes,
sir,
we
will
have
the
budget
meeting
immediately.
Follow.
Excuse
me,
prior
to
the
5
30
meeting.
I
was
about
to
say
immediately
following,
but
I
don't
think
we
want
to
be
there
afterwards,
but
madame
budgets
here,
unless
you
say
otherwise,
we
will
plan
to
hold
that
at
the
civic
center
just
prior
to
the
regular
meeting.
K
A
A
We
did
unfortunately
add
two
more
to
our
total
of
people
that
have
passed
away.
We
have
14
individuals
that
have
lost
their
lives
to
the
virus
who
live
in
moscow
county.
Our
hospitalization
rate
continues
to
stay
flat.
In
fact,
it's
actually
the
the
number
of
folks
in
our
area.
Hospitals
has
actually
decreased
over
the
last
few
days.
So
we
continue
to
watch
the
trends.
A
So
so
that's
the
number
we're
watching
and
we're
continuing
to
watch
that
you
know
the
governor's
got
a
press
conference
coming
up
and
and
we
we
are
anxious
to
hear
what
happens
to
his
executive
order,
whether
or
not
it
stays
or
it
it.
It
expires,
or
maybe
he
substitutes
another
another
order
in
its
place,
but
whatever
whatever
route
he
goes
we'll
be
prepared
to
react.
A
We
we
are
beginning
to
open
some
other
facilities.
The
the
city
offices,
administrative
offices,
are
scheduled
to
be
open
on
the
18th,
and
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
ask
deputy
city
manager
lisa
goodwin,
to
speak
on
that
in
a
moment
and
you'll
hear
about
some
of
the
other
facilities
that
are
slowly
being
opened
and
we're
doing
it
incrementally
and
we're
doing
it
by
watching
the
numbers.
A
Because
it's
it's
really
a
blend,
I
mean
it's,
it's
not
all
science
and
it's
in
it
and
it's
not
all
just
by
feel
and
trying
to
get
the
economy
open.
Our
goal
is
to
try
to
get
our
quality
of
life
back
to
where
it
was
and
get
our
economy
back
to
where
it
was.
But
we
we
know
that
really,
there's
no
there's
no
perfect
time.
A
Then
then
we're
not
going
to
open
those
facilities
just
yet
we've
got
some
of
our
parks
and
recreation
fields
that
it's
just
not
time
yet
for
those
leagues
and
and
organized
events
to
gear
back
up.
There
are
contact
sports,
basketball
and
soccer
or
contact
sports.
So
it's
just
for
us.
I
think
we
need
to
really
watch
the
trends
on
the
numbers
and,
as
we
continue
to
gain
a
little
bit
more
confidence
as
the
numbers
stay
flat
from
a
hospitalization
perspective.
J
But
we
will
have
a
policy
for
our
employees
regarding
wearing
masks,
and
so
with
that
we
had
a
video
that
we
had
planned
to
show
you
today
and
as
technology
goes,
we
had
a
corrupt
foul
and
we
can't
run
that
video
this
morning.
So
I've
asked
deputy
city
manager
goodwin
to
quickly
get
those
department
heads
who
are
on
the
video
to
give
a
brief
update
to
you
in
specific
work
areas,
and
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
deputy
city
manager.
Lisa
goodwin.
C
C
C
C
I
will
be
followed
by
various
departments
that
will
be
speaking
and
talking
about
getting
things
back,
open
public
works.
I
will
have
kyle
mcgee
and
charnae
ware
parks
and
recreation,
becky,
glsen
trade
center,
haley,
tillery,
bull,
creek
and
oxbow,
jim
arden
nancy
bourne
with
election
and
registration
and
lula.
Huff
tax,
commissioner,
will
be
following
they're
gonna
share
their
strategies
on
getting
things
back
open.
C
At
this
time
we
do
not
have
a
date
specific
that
we
will
open
either
facility
to
large
events
or
large
gatherings.
This
information,
of
course,
will
be
shared
as
we
get
closer
to
the
end
of
the
june
12th
state
of
emergency
declaration,
at
which
time
our
mayor
will
provide
direction
on
how
we
move
forward.
We
are,
however,
preparing
for
the
return
of
great
entertainment
and
family
fun
at
the
columbus
civic
center
and
at
the
ice
rink,
and
so
we
do
look
forward
to
that
return
and
safe
return
for
everyone.
L
Thank
you,
deputy
city
manager,
good
one
and
good
morning,
mr
mayor
and
council,
part
of
public
works,
solid
waste
and
recycling
collection.
I'm
very
pleased
to
announce
that
we
are
currently
caught
up
with
yard
waste
and
household
garbage
collection
items.
Our
staff
has
worked
tirelessly
through
this
pandemic
and
they've
stuck
with
us
and
sacrificed,
and
we
are
glad
that
we're
called
up
so
now.
It's
next
steps.
Everybody
wants
to
know.
When
is
recycling
going
to
being
reinstated,
and
my
answer
is
as
soon
as
we
can
possibly
do
it.
L
Our
goal
right
now
is
to
reinstate
recycling
june,
the
first,
with
very
strict
taking
measures
to
get
our
staff
and
and
inmates
separated
as
much
as
possible,
decked
out
with
all
the
ppe
they
need,
and
we
we
will.
We
will
try
to
do
this
june,
the
first
and
we
may
have
to
slow
the
line
down
a
little
bit
to
accommodate
the
amount
of
material
that
we
can
sort,
but
I
think
that's
the
sacrifice
that
we're
willing
to
make
and-
and
the
question
is:
why
haven't
you
slowed
the
line
down?
L
Well,
the
answer
is
under
normal
circumstances.
We
have
more
material
than
we
can
process.
We've
got
to
keep
that
line
going
as
fast
as
we
can.
So
we
didn't
want
to
do
that
for
extended
period
of
time.
So
if
we
start
june
the
first
and
we
have
to
slow
it
down,
no
some
items
may
end
up
in
the
landfill
that
we
cannot
process,
but
at
least
we
can
start
back
process
and
recyclables.
L
L
We
have
five
drop-off
sites
throughout
muskogee
county
and
we
would
like
to
implement
them
as
a
source
separated
election
only,
for
instance,
if
you
have
a
a
stockpile
of
cardboard
that
is
separate,
it's
not
commingled.
You
will
be
able
to
take
that
to
that
drop-off
site.
If
you
have
aluminum,
you
know
we
would
have
a
bin
for
that.
The
issue
right
now
is:
we
are
not
separating
recyclables
on
our
sorting
line,
because
we
can't
maintain
that
social
distance
in
between
workers.
L
C
Okay,
and
so
what
that
means
is
citizens
will
be
able
to
begin
putting
their
recycles
back
out
on
the
curb
for
pickup.
So
I
know
kyle
has
said
we're
we're
we're
going
to
try
and
to
make
it
happen.
We're
going
to
make
it
happen
june.
The
1st
so
be
prepared
to
place
your
recyclables
on
the
curb,
and
we
will
begin
the
recycling
efforts
again.
M
L
I
C
E
Good
morning,
counselors
and
mayor
I'll
try
to
be
as
brief
as
possible
with
our
large
list,
our
offices,
our
administrative
offices,
will
open
monday
with
a
staggered
staff.
Some
still
work
tele-working
from
home
due
to
the
closeness
of
the
office,
but
we
will
be
available
for
the
citizens
starting
monday.
E
Our
senior
centers
will
not
be
able
to
be
opened
before
the
june
12th
date.
Due
to
the
governor's
must
stay
order.
Our
recreation
centers
fall
in
that
same
category.
They
will
not
be
able
to
be
open,
at
least
until
the
june
12th
date.
We
are
planning
a
soft
opening.
If
you
will
for
lake
oliver
marina
starting
monday,
citizens
will
be
able
to
get
gas
bait
and
tackle
they'll,
be
able
to
launch
their
boats
they'll
be
able
to
get
concession
items.
E
E
E
We
will
ensure
social
distancing,
no
double
play,
we're
going
to
try
to
skip
every
other
court.
We
have
plans
for
checking
in
at
the
clubhouse
where
the
players
don't
have
to
come
into.
The
clubhouse
tennis
balls
will
be
marked
with
names
for
safety
reasons.
We
have
different
plans
in
place
for
that
that
the
players
will
be
told
upon
coming
to
the
center
brit
david
pottery
studio
will
not
be
able
to
be
open
until
at
least
the
june
12th
date.
E
Jonathan
hatcher's
skateboard
park
will
not
be
able
to
be
open
until
at
least
the
june
12th
date
due
to
the
volume
of
users
there.
All
of
our
athletic
fields,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
little
league
adult
leagues
will
be
closed
until
at
least
the
june
12th
date
would
reform
soccer.
Complex,
says
soccer
is
a
contact
sport.
This
facility
will
stay
closed
until
at
least
the
june
12th
date.
Our
disc
golf
courses
are
currently
open
now,
and
they
will
stay
that
way.
Our
parks
are
open
for
the
citizens
to
enjoy
the
trails
walking
jogging
running
bicycling.
E
However,
our
playgrounds
and
pavilions
will
stay
closed
until
at
least
the
june
12th
date.
Our
our
restrooms
will
remain
open.
The
ma
rainey
house.
We
will
open
it
up
monday
morning
to
start
tours,
we'll
have
to
take
less
than
five
people
in
each
tour,
and
we
just
ask
the
citizens
to
to
hopefully
call
ahead
and
schedule
this,
so
we
can
be
prepared
for
those
the
columbus
aquatic
center
and
our
outdoor
pools.
Will
our
columbus
aquatic
center
will
remain
closed
through
june
12th?
E
E
E
E
N
There's
been
a
lot
of
demand
and
what
we
have
done
is
we
followed
the
city
guidelines
as
well
as
pga
recommended
guidelines
to
operate
safely.
So
we've
done
that
with
with
a
lot
of
signage
anybody
that
hasn't
opened.
I
would
I
would
urge
you
to
have
more
signage
than
you
think
you
need,
because
it's
you
know
it
requires
a
lot
of
informing
but,
of
course,
we're
we're,
distancing,
we're
telling
them
that
we're
distancing
the
people
that
are
coming.
N
We
have
markings
on
the
floor
in
the
clubhouse
and
we're
using
wooden
stakes
for
spacing
outside
the
door,
because
we're
only
allowing
three
people
in
the
clubhouse
at
a
time.
So
when
we're
busy,
we
do
have
people
lining
up
outside
and
the
you
know.
If
we're
doing
six
feet
plus
we
actually
have
a
large
large
area
in
the
clubhouse
larger
than
six
feet,
additional
signage
in
the
in
the
clubhouse
as
well,
reminding
them
that
there's
only
three
people
and
we
have
plexiglas
at
the
at
both
point
of
sale
systems.
N
At
the
counter
to
separate
the
numbers
from
the
from
the
clerks.
We
have
one
entry
and
one
exit.
Only
so
we
keep,
we
keep
the
doors
open
to
keep
air
flowing,
which
is
a
recommendation
and
that
way
people
are
not
passing
each
other
they're
one
way
in
one
way
out
we're
constantly
sanitizing
everything,
whether
it's
the
the
counter,
the
doors,
the
bathrooms
there's
one
bathroom
open,
but
we're
constantly
wiping
down
and
spraying.
And
of
course
the
golf
carts
has
touch
points.
N
N
O
Mr
may
I
have
a
question.
This
is
mimi
or
lisa.
I
have
a
question
okay.
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
report.
Appreciate
it
when
they're
serving
food,
are
they
taking
the
food
outside
or
are
they
in
that
area,
where
it's
kind
of
like
a
dining
area?
Are
they
being
six
feet
apart
here?
How
are
they
doing
the
food
gym.
N
Yes,
so
the
only
the
only
food
that
is
being
served
would
be
pre-packaged
food,
so
we're
not
preparing
any
food.
Our
restaurant
is
closed.
So
it's
pre-packaged
food.
It
would
be
you
know,
a
bag
of
chips
or
crackers.
Something
like
that.
It's
just
we
may
make
some
sandwiches,
but
it's
all
prepared
and
served
outside
so
they're
eating
it
as
they're
going
around
the
golf
course.
There's
no
dining
area.
O
C
P
The
biggest
thing
on
monday
is
to
realize
our
building
will
be
open,
but
we
still
will
not
have
events
taking
place
that
week,
all
throughout
the
month
of
may
for
all
of
our
clients
we've
reached
out
to
them
and
even
future
clients.
We
have
virtual
meeting
options
where
we're
giving
them
virtual
tours
we're
walking
them
through
the
building.
We
actually
with
our
social
tables
diagram
software.
We
can
virtually
plan
a
client's
entire
diagram
on
from
computer
to
computer,
so
we've
communicated
that
to
the
clients
and
have
been
working
very
well
with
that.
P
This
will
also
take
place
when
events
start
reopening.
In
addition
to
that,
one
thing
I
want
to
briefly
talk
about:
the
trace
center
has
adopted
a
three-phase
reopening
process,
and
this
has
been
communicated
with
our
clients.
We
have
all
of
our
clients
required
to
do
event
insurance,
as
well
as
signing
an
addendum
to
their
contract.
That
also
shows
them
what
their
responsibilities
are
as
a
client.
P
This
is
a
group
and
team
effort
when
clients
are
having
events,
so
they
are
aware
of
what
measures
that
they
need
to
take
and
what
they
need
to
communicate
to
their
attendees
when
coming
to
their
events,
for
instance,
all
tables
in
the
future
will
always
be
seven
feet
apart
from
one
another.
The
standard
in
the
past
was
five,
but
we're
going
to
have
tables
at
seven
during
this
three
phase.
Reopening
process
when
june
1st
comes
around
the
trace
center
will
be
in
phase
two
at
that
time.
P
If
everything
is
going
as
planned
from
phase
one,
this
will
mean
it
will
be
four
weeks
of
declining
cases
percentage-wise,
and
this
will
also
be
still
recommendations
on
what
the
mayor
and
what
the
state
orders
are.
As
far
as
when
it
comes
to
vulnerable
individuals
that
we
talked
about,
we
can
it's
still
going
to
be
avoid
any
socializing
in
groups
more
than
50.
That
cannot
socially
distance.
P
Now
the
client
has
decided
they
don't
want
to
follow
those
protocol,
and
they
want
to
wait
to
where
the
some
of
the
guidelines
are
lessened
throughout
the
months
going
forward.
They
have
that
option.
We
do
have
our
first
event
on
june
6
and
that
event
has
been
completely
modified
to
social
distancing
guidelines
with
things
dealing
with
food.
We've
been
working
with
our
partner
and
vendor
spectre
ovations.
P
There
will
be
no
buffet
stations.
Everything
will
be
plated.
There
will
be
nothing
preset
on
the
tables.
That's
just
I'm
giving
you
the
big
scope
or
the
little
scope
from
a
big
scope
that
we've
been
working
on.
Just
to
give
you
an
idea,
in
addition
to
that,
all
of
our
employees
know
the
they
are
going
to
be
required.
When
they're
on
the
floor
to
be
wearing
their
mask,
we
will
have
sanitizer
stations
all
throughout
the
facility.
Now
before
you
leave
a
bathroom,
there
will
be
a
hand
sanitizer
right
by
the
door.
P
Before
you
enter
any
type
of
event
space
there
will
be
a
hand
sanitizer
station.
When
you
come
into
the
building,
all
the
main
entrance
there
will
be
a
hand
sanitizer
station.
We
also
will
have
different
indication
signage
on
all
of
our
doors.
That
will
remind
people
if
you've
been
sick.
If
you
have
been
around
somebody
that
has
been
sick,
we
ask
that
you
do
not
come
in
the
building.
One
thing
that
we're
working
on
right
now
I
have
found
that
people
respond
well
and
they
remember
acronyms.
P
So
one
thing
we're
going
to
have
is
come
back:
smart
columbus
for
your
events.
Smart
is
the
acronym
where
s
stands
for
shield.
Your
coffin
sneezes
m
is
masculine
face
in
public.
A
is
a
part,
meaning
remember
to
social
distance.
R
is
rinse,
can
constantly
wash
and
sanitize
and
t
tidy.
Keep
your
areas
clean.
P
So
wherever
you're
at
there's
an
image
that
matches
each
acronym
that
image
logo
will
be
where
it
needed
to
be,
for
instance,
in
the
bathroom
you
might
see
that
social
distance
logo
in
the
bathrooms
to
indicate.
If
you
walk
in
and
there's
a
line,
we
have
16
other
bathrooms.
You
can
go
to
so
there's
going
to
be
signage
everywhere.
P
I
know
it's
june
6th
is
going
to
really
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
test
this
method
and
it's
a
small
event.
So
I
feel
comfortable
with
that.
But
each
each
week
that
we
go
by
will
get
us
closer
to
phase
three
phase.
Three
begins
on
july.
First
and
again,
that's
if
everything's
been
going
as
planned
in
phase
one
and
phase
two
phase.
Three
will
still
be
strict
modifications,
but
it
will
always
most
be
what
the
new
norms
gonna
be
moving
forward.
P
We
know
that
this
this
whole
pandemic
is
gonna,
be
new
habits
that
are
not
gonna
go
away.
So
that's
gonna,
be
the
guidelines
for
events
moving
forward
as
well.
The
addendum
has
really
helped
with
our
clients
understanding
what
their
responsibilities
are.
In
addition
to
everything
else,
I
feel
like
this
is
going
to
be
a
great
plan
to
get
us
back
on
track
to
get
us
acting
as
normal
as
possible,
but
also
with
the
number
one
priority
to
remain
safe
and
healthy.
P
If
you're
interested
in
knowing
what
this
three-phase
plan
looks
like
you
can
always
go
to
columbustracecenter.com,
and
in
the
about
section
we
will
have
everything
mapped
out
on
there,
including
a
document
that
you
can
download
for
each
phase
again,
not
to
take
up
too
much
of
your
time.
But
that
is
the
small
breakdown
over
a
big
scope
of
research
and
planning
that
we
feel
is
going
to
be
a
safe
environment
for
our
citizens
that
will
be
walking
in
our
building.
O
P
Absolutely
so
currently,
in
all
of
our
lease
agreements,
we
require
a
liability
insurance
for
the
client.
This
is
a
standard
protocol.
I'm
going
to
be
honest
with
you
for
most
of
our
clients
with
one
day
events
it
has
not
been
as
mandated
as
it
should
be
so,
with
this
moving
forward,
we're
just
going
to
be
making
sure
that
every
client
has
a
copy
of
liability
insurance
that
they're
giving
us.
The
addendum
also
expressed
the
importance
of
their
insurance
to
have
a
pandemic
clause
in
there.
P
We've
worked
with
several
insurance
agencies
throughout
columbus,
so
we
could
give
the
client
the
opportunity
if
they
wanted,
to
call
one
of
those
clients
to
take
off
some
of
that
burden
and
pressure
and
to
keep
the
call
slow.
So
they
could
call
one
of
those
clients
that
we
that
know
what
we're
requiring
to
kind
of
loosen
that
burden
there's
also
ways
they
can
acquire
this
online.
P
P
P
O
You
know
your
contract
for
with
adding
the
insurance
so
that
people
can
get
a
an
idea
more
or
less,
because
hearing
that
it
puts
a
little
fright
in
someone,
that's
listening
would
say:
do
I
want
to
really
rent
there
now
I
got
to
go,
buy
insurance
to
do
this
event.
Maybe
I
need
to
go
somewhere
else,
but
I
think,
if
there's
something
that
explains
it
and
an
example
on
your
website
will
ease
up
people
that
even
even
are
not
watching
this
now
but
hear
about
it
because
you
know
perception
becomes
a
reality.
O
Yes,
ma'am
and
thank
you
and
again,
like
I
said
it's
a
suggestion
because
I'm
pretty
sure
as
people
listen,
people
talk
and
it
gets
turned
all
around
and
then
people
might
say
well,
I
don't
want
to
go,
have
my
event
there,
but
if
they
can
go
online
and
look
on
their
own
free
will
that'll
make
it
a
lot
easier.
Absolutely!
C
Q
Okay
good
morning,
yes,
we
will
be
open
for
early
voting.
Beginning
monday,
may
the
18th
from
7
a.m
to
7
p.m,
we'll
be
open
that
monday,
through
friday,
we've
pretty
pretty
much
kept
our
same
hours
that
we
do
normally
for
early
voting.
The
only
thing
we've
eliminated
is
the
sunday
and
monday
the
sunday
before
memorial
day
and
then
the
monday
of
memorial
day,
but
we
will
be
open
monday
through
friday,
7
a.m
to
7
p.m,
and
the
weekends
from
9
to
4.
Just
as
we
always
have,
we
will
also
be
practicing
the
social
distancing.
Q
We
will
require
voters
to
practice
social
distancing.
Our
workers
will
have
protective
shields
in
front
of
them
to
their
sneeze
guards.
They'll
also
have
masks
and
gloves
available
equipment
will
be
sanitized
after
every
person
votes
and
we've
already
issued
over
15
000
absentee
ballots,
we're
issuing
about
a
thousand
a
day.
So
we
anticipate
having
a
really
great
turnout
or
our
number
of
people
who
vote
in
this
election.
Q
Our
workers
here
have
masks.
We
have
sanitizing
solution
that
we
have
purchased
from
swamp
fox
distillery
and
we
are
using
that
as
well
as
gloves
and
all
other
social
distancing
issues.
We
are
expanded
beyond
our
bounds.
We've
had
to
borrow
space
to
accommodate
equipment
and
paperwork
and
and
balance,
and
so
we
are
continuing
to
look
for
additional
space
and
ways
to
manage
the
equipment
that
we
have.
C
C
R
Q
A
A
We
it's
fluid.
We
keep
watching
it.
As
you
heard.
I
know
I've
received
a
lot
of
calls
from
parents
of
little
leaguers
and
we
want
them
to
get
on
the
field
we
really
do,
but
we
want
them
to
do
so
safely
and
we
want
them
to
do
so
in
a
manner
that
is
safe
for
the
grandparents
to
come
watch
and
not
make
it
a
not
make
it
a
situation
where
they
they
feel
awkward
in
an
environment
that
may
harm
their
health.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
C
A
Thank
you
thank
you
and,
to
that
end,
we're
actually
going
to
host
a
a
live
town
hall,
virtual
town
hall,
meeting
thursday
of
this
week
at
5,
30.
and
we'll
be
taking
questions
from
the
public.
We've
already
been
begun,
collecting
them
and
we'll
try
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
information
out
that
that
our
citizens
are
interested
in
hearing
and
also
along
the
lines
of
this
being
such
an
unusual
and
unique
situation,
and
how
how
much
uncertainty
is
around.
A
A
They
operate
small
businesses
that
are
hanging
on
by
by
thread
so
because
of
that-
and
I
have
spoken
with
most-
if
not
all-
of
the
counselors-
and
I
believe
they
support
this.
We
are
going
to
I'm
asking
council
to
approve
a
resolution
to
postpone
our
request
for
a
splost
with
all
the
uncertainty
in
2020.
A
A
I
tend
to
be
a
little
more
conservative,
but
I
really
think
that
columbus,
because
all
the
momentum
we
had
going
into
this
situation,
we're
going
to
see
it
come
out
very
quickly,
but
it
is
going
to
take
a
little
time
so
so
there
is
a
resolution
on
the
on
the
agenda
today.
That
is
going
to
ask
council
to
support
delaying
the
splost
vote
until
november
of
2021..
So
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
that
as
well
all
right
with
that
we'll
move
to
the
city
attorney's
agenda,
mr
city
attorney.

A
U
Thank
you
mayor,
good
morning.
Everybody
again.
Congratulations!
Mr
scott
mayor,
we've
got
a
few
formal
resolutions
on
the
business
agenda
for
council
to
consider
today.
The
first
one
up
is
related
to
municipal
court.
The
chief
justice
of
the
georgia
supreme
court,
harold
melton,
has
extended
the
judicial
statewide
emergency
through
june
12th.
U
This
resolution
would
allow
municipal
court
to
use
the
columbus
civic
center
and
the
trade
center
after
that
date
from
june
13th
until
september
15th
as
needed
to
try
to
ease
the
flow
of
people
coming
into
the
government
center.
This
is
a
request
of
municipal
court
judge,
stephen
smith,
and
it
is
ready
for
adoption.
Counseling.
F
U
U
M
A
A
K
A
A
We
understand-
and
we
take
very
seriously
as
all
of
you
do,
that
we
made
a
commitment
to
the
citizens
to
try
to
give
them
a
safe
environment
to
come
conduct
government
business.
This
gives
us
some
time
to
more
thoroughly
vet,
some
of
the
options
that
are
out
there
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward,
though
we
intend
to
have
everything
we
can
get
done
done
prior
to
to
the
vote
coming
around
next
november.
A
W
A
That's
why
we're
continuing
to
move,
and
we
really
don't
think
we're
going
to
lose
a
lot
of
time,
because
all
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
do
during
this
short
delay,
we
would
have
been
working
on
anyway,
and
that
is
making
sure
that
council
feels
comfortable
with
with
the
the
the
option
that
we
choose
make
sure
they
feel
comfortable
with
the
location,
whether
it's
in
its
present
location
or
we
choose
another
one.
So
all
of
that
would
be
going
anywhere
going
in
process
anyway.
A
U
A
Absolutely
we
all
share
their
excitement.
They
just
got
a
pay,
raise,
I
guess
when
they
have
a
child,
graduate
right
all
right.
Well,
good,
any
any
questions
for
the
city
attorney
before
we
move
on
all
right.
Next
up
is
the
public
agenda
and
our
first,
our
first
individual
is
miss
teresa
element.
Miscellamine.
Are
you
on.
A
Jeremy,
you
trying
to
get
her
connected.
I
just
admitted
hers.
We
might
need
to
shout
out
one
more
time
all
right.
The
the
miss
element.
Are
you
are
you?
Can
you
hear
me
here?
Oh
great,
well,
listen
you,
you
have
the,
I
guess
the
honor
or
the
or
maybe
it's
not
the
honor,
to
be
the
first
individual
to
appear
before
council
virtually
and
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
do
it
just
like
we
do
in
the
in
the
meeting.
N
X
Teresa
elamine
with
the
southern
anti-racism
network
and
the
address
is
3911
steam
mill
road
and
I
I
do
want
to
start
out,
mr
mayor
by
congratulating
mr
scott
and
I
look
forward
to
meeting
with
him.
So
we
can
talk
about
the
deep
poverty
that
we
have
in
columbus
and
how
his
role
may
be
able
to
contribute
to
that
and
mr
scott
you're
joining
the
wonderful
staff
of
the
columbus
consolidated
government.
X
X
X
X
X
This
is
something
that
is
a
legal
question
for
the
black
majority
here
in
columbus,
mr
mayor
and
I
want
to
revisit
that
meeting
from
april
28th.
That
was
a
scandal.
Mr
mayor,
when
you
first
said
that
you
were
gonna,
let
isaiah
hugely
go.
You
may
recall,
I
sent
you
an
email
saying
what
did
you
mean
by
that?
X
X
A
A
So
if
you
want
you
can
I
think
you
can
use
that
same
login
and
go
back
through
the
same
route
you'll
be
placed
in
the
lobby
again
and
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
you
can
finish
up
with
three
additional
minutes,
but
I'm
afraid
I've
got
to
cut
you
off
now
you,
you
know
I've.
I've
he's
got
you
muted,
and
I
cannot
hear
you
I
can't.
I
can't
hear
you
mr
mean
if
you
want
to
sign
back
in
at
the
end
of
because
you've
used
your
five
minutes.
I
was
very
careful
about
timing.
A
R
W
H
A
That's
fine
and
and
what
I,
what
I'll
tell
you
is
the
same
thing
I
I
tell
the
other
folks.
You've
got
five
minutes
and
I'm
gonna
start
a
timer
after
you
introduce
yourselves
and
give
your
address
and
then,
when
that
five
minutes
is
up
I'll,
let
you
know
if
you
want
me
to
give
you
a
one
minute
warning
I'll
be
glad
to
otherwise
in
five
minutes,
I'll
just
have
to
cut
you
off.
I
A
Y
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
members
for
having
us
susan,
and
I
just
want
to
take
just
a
few
minutes,
to
share
an
opportunity
that
not
to
share
an
opportunity,
but
just
to
share
with
you
some
things
that
we're
seeing
in
the
community.
We
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
that
we're
seeing
or
what
we're
labeling
as
the
next
public
health
crisis
in
our
area
and
we're
seeing
a
notable
increase
in
people
that
are
suffering
from
behavioral
health
issues.
H
Thank
you
ma'am
good
morning,
mr
mayor
and
city
council,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
strong
leadership
the
city
has
had
since
the
beginning
of
this
covet
epidemic.
I
think
that
our
flattening
of
the
curve
is
a
testament
to
the
leadership
that
we've
had
and
then
to
hear
ms
godwin
speak
about
all
the
openings
that
the
city
has
planned
and
the
way
you're
doing
it
just
a
really
great
testament
to
the
leadership
we
have
here
in
columbus.
H
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
this
morning
about
the
coded
pandemic,
the
emotional,
financial
and
socially
devastating
consequences
of
the
country
and
our
community
and
the
looming
public
mental
health
crisis.
Although
the
cobra
pandemic
touches
some
lives
in
our
community,
we've
lost
some
individuals
which
is
tragic.
We
have
some
individuals
that
have
tested
positive,
close
to
400
individuals,
but
almost
everyone
in
the
community
are
close
to
200
000
people
in
musboge
county
are
feeling
the
anxiety
and
stress
of
the
covet
virus
in
muskogee
county.
H
At
the
beginning
of
the
year
we
had
approximately
39
000
people
living
with
mental
illness.
This
equates
to
one
in
five
or
20
percent
of
the
population,
while
currently
only
0.18
are
testing
positive
for
covid.
So
already
you
can
see
that
mental
health
is
a
issue
that
we
need
to
address,
although
the
exact
number
of
people
is
unknown,
there
are
many
more
suffering
from
anxiety
and
depression
as
a
result
of
the
fear,
social
distancing,
isolation
and
widespread
uncertainty
due
to
the
covet
epidemic.
H
I
believe
we're
going
to
see
increases
in
anxiety,
depression
and
suicide
due
to
the
isolation,
depression,
fear,
anxiety
of
living
with
the
cove
and
pandemic.
Now
anxiety
is
a
normal
response
to
a
stressful
situation
and
depression.
Sadness
is
a
normal
response,
but
we
have
to
know
the
signs
and
symptoms
of
when
we
should
seek
help
if
you're
not
sleeping
well
for
more
than
two
weeks.
If
you
are
having
your
diet
changes,
you
can't
eat
you're
eating
too
much.
You
become
irritable,
irritable,
anxious.
H
You
can't
feel
pleasure
anymore,
a
loss
of
interest,
feelings
of
helplessness
and
hopelessness.
These
are
all
signs
and
symptoms
of
depression
and
anxiety,
and
we
need
to
know
when
to
reach
out
to
somebody
for
help.
It's
always
a
good
idea
to
reach
out
to
your
primary
care.
Physician.
First,
you
don't
have
a
primary
care.
Physician.
H
We
see
droves
of
people
being
tested
on
the
news
for
covis
with
widespread
community
outreach
events,
public
service
announcements,
but
the
real
public
health
emergency,
the
mental
health,
the
anxiety,
the
depression,
the
tendency
to
use
substances
remains
at
new
horizons,
behavioral
health.
We
have
experienced
this
dramatic
request
for
our
services
due
to
people
experiencing
anxiety
and
depression
because
of
the
virus.
H
H
A
Amazing
job
and
I'm
going
to
ask
you
guys
something.
This
is
way
too
important,
an
issue
to
try
to
cram
into
five
minutes.
So
I
don't
why
don't
you
and
I
get
together
offline
and
we'll
set
up
a
time
for
an
update
on
the
mayor's
agenda
and
give
you
about
10
or
15
minutes
to
walk
through
this
is
I
think
this
is
a
pretty
significant
ancillary
issue
that
goes
hand
in
hand
with
the
self-isolation
with
the
the
you
know,
uncertainty
of
what's
happening
from
the
economic
and
medical
standpoint.
G
G
Yeah,
mr
mayor,
I
want
to
thank
you
because
you
know
all
of
us
all
of
us.
Citizens
are
experiencing
to
a
certain
degree
of
anxiety,
subliminal
stress
and
anxiety,
and
miss
winston
reached
out
to
me,
because
we
both
had
a
concern,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
them
to
to
come
on,
because
the
the
worst
thing
that
can
happen.
G
The
symptoms
is
really
a
god
said
and
having
this
medial,
mr
mayor
and
the
fact
that
you
reached
out
to
me
that
has
been
coming
is
just
awesome,
and
so
I
do
appreciate
the
follow-up,
because
this
is
really
too
important
an
issue
to
just
give
it
a
cursory
look
at,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
inviting
miss
winston
and
miss
gallagher
so
that
they
can
go
more
in
depth
and
maybe
do
something
on
ccgtv
to
alert.
The
biggest
feeling
thing
is
what
susan
mentioned
a
lot
of
people
are
experienced.
G
What's
called,
I
know
me,
they
are
feeling
with
no
feelings
and
that's
that's
something
that
they
can't
interpret
and
they
need
the
professional
advices
to
help
them
too.
So
again,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I'm
not
going
to
delay
the
time
I
appreciate
and
andrea
and
susan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
what
you're
doing
in
the
community.
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I've
got
a
few
items
remaining
on
my
agenda.
I
appreciate
you
move.
Allow
me
to
move
up
the
confirmation
of
mr
robert
rob
scott,
but
the
second
item
on
my
agenda
is
amendment
to
the
citizen
participation
plan
of
the
fiscal
year
2017
through
fiscal
year,
2021
five-year
consolidation
plan.
J
Hood
has
provided
for
the
immediate
availability
of
a
five-day
public
comment
period
for
amendments
and
new
plan
submissions
associated
with
our
plan.
Our
five-year
plan
to
fully
utilize
this
regulatory
waiver
and
amendment
of
the
current
citizen
participation
plan
is
needed,
and
so
that's
why
we're
coming
before
you
today
asking
you
to
approve
for
filing
of
amendments
to
our
plan.
I
J
J
Approval
is
requested
for
the
construction
of
a
canopy
over
the
right
of
way
at
1201
broadway
that
will
encroach
approximately
14
feet.
10
inches
onto
the
city's
right-of-way
along
12th
street,
for
a
distance
of
30
feet.
6
inches
engineering
received
a
request
from
family
holdings,
the
owner
of
the
project,
to
construct
a
canopy
for
a
drop
entrance
to
the
hotel,
and
the
city
has
authorized
this
type
of
permanent
encroachment
in
the
past.
J
Due
to
the
wide
width
of
the
right-of-way
in
the
uptown
area,
the
owner
understands
that,
should
the
encroachment
ever
become
in
conflict
with
any
public
improvements,
encroachment
shall
be
removed
at
no
cost
to
the
city.
The
construction
of
the
hotel
improvements
and
future
parking
deck
will
eliminate
approximately
12
existing
parking
spaces
other
than
that
there
are
no
financial
obligations
for
the
city
and
we're
bringing
this
before
you
today
for
your
consideration.
O
O
O
If
I
can,
please
get
an
overlay
of
the
of
the
drawing,
because
the
sketches
that
was
received,
the
site
plant
that
was
received
had
too
much
information
on
it
to
get
a
good
good,
visual
of
which
parking
spaces
will
be
removed,
and
where
I
have
no
problem,
let
me
make
that
absolutely
clear.
I
have
no
objections
with
owning.
I
think
it's
great,
I
think
you'll
it'll
enhance,
and
I
don't
have
any
problems
with
that.
My
concern
is
with
the
12
parking
spots.
O
So
I'm
only
asking
for
my
colleagues
to
please
allow
me
two
weeks,
which
is
the
next
council
meeting,
so
I
can
be
with
the
developer.
I
can
meet
with
uptown
csu
and
whoever
it's
going
to
impact,
so
they
can
get
a
better
understanding
of
it.
Again,
I'm
not
saying
anything
against
the
petition.
I
think
it's
beautiful.
I've
been
to
many
hotels,
I've
been
throughout
the
world.
I
know
what
they're
talking
about
and
asking,
but
I
act
respectfully
for
this
delay.
J
O
And-
and
you
know
with
me
doing-
delay,
I'm
not
saying
any
council
member
who
has
concern
or
questions
they
can.
You
know
they
can
ask
and
to
the
petitioner
to
tracy
it's
nothing
against
the
project.
I
just
need
a
little
bit
more
detail
because
I
will
be
the
one
answering
to
the
people
in
district
7..
O
Uptown
has
requested
that
we
please
go
to
the
table
and,
like
any
other
council
member
has
offered
just
like
any
other
council
member
has
wanted
to
go
back
to
talk
to
their
community.
I'm
asking
the
same
respect
from
the
developer.
I'm
asking
a
little
bit
more
information
like
an
overlay
on
the
side
plant
that
we
have
and
able
to
get
a
better
understanding.
O
I
don't
want
you
to
think
I
haven't
been
doing
my
homework
because,
even
though
I'm
quarantined
in
my
home
for
some
health
issues,
I've
had
people
take
pictures
for
me
and
send
it
to
me.
So
I'm
not
closed
minded
at
all.
What's
going
on,
I
just
think
that
we
need
to
give
that
respect
to
our
community,
and
I
want
to
know
more
about
them.
12
spots,
spaces
that
we're
going
to
be
losing.
I
also
want
to.
O
A
K
F
O
F
K
A
All
right
and
that's
where
we're
trying
to
head
with
this
it's
a
little
difficult.
I
know
with
virtual,
but
I
was
just
trying
to
make
sure
we
didn't
have
a
second
for
your
motion
and
I
have
heard
none
and
so
that
one
does
die.
There's
a
motion
on
the
table
that
we
can
now
discuss
the
different
aspects
of
that
so
counselor
thomas
did
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
proceed.
K
Well,
one
of
the
issues
that
has
come
up
is
the
the
parking
on
12th
street
and
front
avenue,
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
I
did.
I
spoke
with
some
of
the
instructors
at
csu
which,
as
you
know,
the
csu
education
and
nursing
facility
is
right
across
the
street
from
this
hotel
and
I
talked
to
them
about
parking
and
what
what
impact
this
would
have
on
their
students.
K
It
is
not
broadway
parking,
it
is
12th
street
and
front
avenue
parking,
and
this
I
think
this
facility,
in
order
for
them
to
do
what
they
need
to
do,
to
make
it
a
viable
facility,
they're
going
to
need
that
kind
of
entrance
and
that
kind
of
canopy
and
so
forth,
and
so
I
I'm
willing
to
give
councillor
woodson's
delay
sure
if
we
need
to
do
that.
That's
fine,
but
I
I
do
want
to
emphasize
that.
K
As
far
as
the
csu
students
are
concerned,
I
think
we
can
take
care
of
that
and
I
think
the
owner
is
willing
to
do
something
to
help
take
care
of
that.
The
parking
deck
that
they
are
talking
about
will
be
open
to
the
public
and
so
other
others
than
the
csu
parking.
The
csu
students
can
park
in
that
deck
there's
some
other
parking
around
that
might
be
as
convenient
as
as
that
parking
deck.
So
if
we
need
to
delay
so
councilor
woodson
can
talk
with
her
constituents.
K
F
Councillor
thomas's
motion
and-
and
let
me
let
me
say
why,
first
of
all,
you
know
I'm
I'm
kind
of
in
myth
trying
to
figure
out.
I've
got
different
civil
plans
here.
I've
got
one
that
was
approved
april
3rd
and
then
I've
got
a
revision
that
was
done
march.
25Th
with
new
intentions,
and
usually
my
concern
with
this
kind
of
stuff
is
usually
all
these
things
take
place
early
on
I
mean
construction's
already
started
and
all
these
plans
and
revisions
should
have
been
done
a
long
time
ago
and
now
we're
doing
them.
F
You
know
just
recently
they
were
approved.
Now
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
there,
but
that's
one
concern
of
mine.
The
the
canopy
request.
I
look
at
you've
got
really.
You've
got
two
separate
requests
here:
okay
and
I
don't
know
how
they're
being
commingled
and
why
they're
being
commingled,
I
don't
have
a
problem.
I
think
the
canopy
needs
to
go
ahead
and
the
canopy.
The
request
for
the
resolution
we
have
is
an
encroachment
on
the
right-of-way
to
build
a
cantilever
canopy.
That's
it
that's
what
the
resolution
says
now
somewhere
in
the
staff
report.
F
F
F
The
elimination
of
parking
is
a
whole
separate
issue
and
that's
not
something
that
really
needs
to
be
done
today.
I
mean
you're,
not
opening
the
hotel
anytime
soon
it's
a
matter
of
erasing
lines,
and
you
know
really
what
it
looks
like
is.
They
would
like
to
have
their
private
entryway
and
a
drop-off
pickup
drop-off
ballet
that
they
can
move
into
their
garage.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
a
curb
cut.
F
It
is
several
curb
cuts,
but
you
know
my
overall
issue
is
in
a
lot
of
these
things.
We've
been
doing,
like
the
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
money.
That's
going
into
these
streetscapes,
there's
a
lot
of
money
that
the
taxpayers
have
funded
for
a
lot
of
stuff,
and
I
just
get
the
feeling
like
in
you
know
the
last
several
years
we've
been
giving
away
a
lot,
but
we
don't
really
get
a
return
on
our
investment,
so
I
mean
I'm
questioning
the
value
of
the
elimination
of
the
spaces.
F
F
You
can
do
that
and
in
that
way,
there's
there's
some
consistency
in
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
I
know
with
the
wc
bradley
company
when
they
came
and
asked
for
us
or
something
at
11th
and
bay.
They
wanted
some
railway
to
build
their
patio
and
all
that
wasn't
an
issue,
but
they
compensated
the
city
for
it.
F
I
think
it's
just
creating
a
a
level
playing
field
for
everybody
and
the
presidents
across
the
board,
where
you
know
everybody's
treating
the
same
and
that
there's
some
some
kind
of
value
that's
being
considered
in
between
the
the
mayor.
The
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
throw
well
I'll
tell
you
what
I'm
gonna
hold,
because
I
still
think
there's
two
separate
requests
here
and
I
mean
I
I
seconded
counselor
woodson's
delay
request
because
I
felt
like
the
parking
could
wait
and
and
it
can
be
discussed
now.
F
I
don't
know
where
that's
going
I'd
love
to
hear
from
other
colleagues,
but
I
do
think
that
the
canopy,
the
cantilever
canopy
request,
as
is,
is
a
separate
issue
from
what
we're
talking
about
with
the
elimination
of
parking
spaces.
So
maybe
there's
a
possibility
of
moving
forward
on
that
one
item
today,
but
holding
back
on
the
elimination
of
the
parking
spaces
and
I'll
just
yield
to
my
fellow
council
members
on
that.
F
A
O
And
that
was
my
reason
for
the
delay
mayor
of
my
may,
because
I
did
look
at
the
canopy
being
made.
Probably
we
can
go
ahead
and
prove
that
and
then
the
spaces,
but
it's
not
very
clear.
That's
why
I
was
asking
for
the
overlaid
and
that's
why
I
was
asking
to
meet,
because
there
were
some
questions
there.
O
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
canopy,
I'm
just
a
problem
on
how
it
all
works,
but
this
request
here
is
not
very
clear
and
again
council
member
thomas.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it
and
so
do
my
constituents
the
opportunity
to
discuss
this
a
little
further.
I
will
promise
you.
It
will
not
be
more
than
two
weeks
it
will
be
by
your
next
and
I
would.
K
Say:
let's,
let's,
if
we're
going
to
delay
it,
let's
delay
the
whole
thing,
because
if
we,
if
we
approve
the
canopy
today
and
then
come
back
in
two
weeks
and
say
no,
you
can't
have
the
parking
places
that
impacts
what
the
construction
and
what
the
company's
going
to
do.
So,
if
we're
going
to
delay
it
delay,
the
whole
thing
come
back
in
two
weeks
and
move,
perhaps
a
clearer
explanation
of
exactly
what
what
owner
wants
to
do.
Well,.
F
N
K
J
G
J
So
if
that's
okay,
mr
mayor,
I'm
going
to
ask
city,
engineer
donna
newman
to
weigh
in
first
and
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
remove
allow
them
to
come
into
the
meeting
from
the
lobby.
Tracy
sayers
and
newt
aaron
as
simultaneously
with
engineer
donna
newman
speaking.
So
is
dear
newman.
If
you
will
and
jeremy.
If
you
will
allow
new,
aaron
and
tracy
sayers
into
the
meeting.
Z
Z
AA
What
we
can
offer
is
that,
since
city
engineer,
donna
newman
expressed
some
concern
about
possible
concern
about
the
loss
of
spaces.
We
have
worked
on
this
plan
to
reduce
the
loss,
and
I
have
two
things
to
offer
for
your
consideration.
One
is
counselor.
Thomas
is
exactly
correct
that
the
loss
of
the
spaces
has
to
do
with
the
drop-off
and
the
canopy,
so
they
are
related
very
clearly.
That's
really
kind
of
a
preface
first
thing.
AA
These
spaces
we're
really
not
taking
spaces
away
for
from
other
businesses,
we're
adding
to
them
because
the
ones
on
the
street
won't
be
used
for
the
hotel
they'll
be
available
for
csu
or
from
other
businesses
in
the
area.
It's
a
pretty
significant
ad
to
tell
you
the
truth.
The
former
businesses
on
the
site
used
street
parking,
the
air
and
rents
and
the
phoenix
finance
that
was
next
door,
both
of
which
now
are
are
gone.
AA
So
I'd
like
to
offer
that
to
you
for
your
consideration,
the
other
is:
we've
had
one
idea
come
up
related
to
the
number
of
ada
or
handicapped
parking
spaces
on
the
csu
side
of
the
street.
There
are
three
ada
spaces
and
on
the
hampton
side,
as
we
have
shown
it,
there
are
three
more.
In
addition,
there
are
two
one
on
the
north
and
one
on
the
south
of
broadway
handicapped
spaces,
and
there
are
four
to
be
provided
in
the
parking
deck.
AA
If
we
could
reduce
the
number
of
handicapped
spaces
on
the
hampton
side
of
12th
street
from
three
to
one,
we
would
be
able
to
convert
each
one
of
those
handicapped
spaces
into
two
regular
parking
spaces,
so
the
loss
would
be
reduced
by
two
of
on
street
parking.
So
those
are
the
two
things
I
would
also
like
to
offer.
Just
for
your
consideration.
AA
The
reason
that
the
street
work
was
took
longer
to
develop
than
the
rest
of
the
plans
is
figuring
out
the
utilities
in
an
old
section
of
uptown
and
getting
the
right
water
lines
and
the
right
power
service
was
very
difficult.
We
had
to
work
very
closely
with
all
the
utility
providers
and
it
just
took
some
time
to
work
out
what
what
we
needed
to
do
and
that
kept
all
this
from
being
brought
to
the
floor
and
as
fast
as
it
would
so.
I
hope
that
has
been
helpful
to
you
a
little
bit.
O
I
have
a
question,
I'm
gonna
say
aaron
if
it's
possible
those
12
those
spaces
you're
offering
in
the
parking
lot.
Aren't
those
aren't
your
guests
going
to
be
playing
for
parking?
How
would
you
be
able
to
distinguish
which
ones
are
are
for
the
public
and
how
would
you
be
able
to
ensure
those
parking
spaces.
AA
Well,
of
course,
we
can
mark
the
spaces
if
that
is
appropriate.
Councillor
woodson
the
the
parking
into
the
deck
and
out
of
the
deck
will
be
managed
by
a
parking
control
system.
The
guests
will
be
using
their
room
key
in
effect
to
be
able
to
enter
and
exit
the
public.
Would
you
be
able
to
enter
and
then
they
would
would
pay
for
a
fee,
which
is,
I
understand,
the
same
way
it
works
across
the
street.
O
Okay,
well,
I
hope
you,
I
hope
you
agree
in
my
delay,
so
we
can
have
some
conversations
and
I
can
get
a
a
little
more
more
an
overlaid
and
a
little
bit
more
understanding
of
the
parking
spaces.
I
am
not
against
your
project
at
all.
I
think
the
canopy
will
be
beautiful,
I
understand
being
able
to
go
in
and
protect
it
from
the
rain
and
the
wind
and
for
a
drop
off.
O
So
it's
just
some
questions
I
have
additionally,
I
just
didn't
want
to
take
up
all
the
time
today
in
discussing
this
I'd
rather
for
us
to
meet
via
conference
this
way,
all
of
us
to
meet
and
have
that
discussion
so
that
I
can
have
a
clear
understanding
and
feel
more
comfortable.
But
again,
I'm
not
against
it.
I
just
need
better
understanding
in
reference
to
the
parking,
because
I
understand
we
say
there's
plenty
of
parking.
O
I
understand
that,
but
a
perception
is
a
reality
and
my
uptown
residents
and
my
uptown
businesses,
it's
a
reality
to
them,
and
the
response
I've
had
from
a
couple
people
is
that
they
didn't
know
anything.
So
I
think
it's
only
appropriate
and
respectful.
If
we
go
back
to
the
table
and
say
you
know,
I
apologize,
you
weren't
aware:
here's
what
we
propose
here,
so
you
get
a
better
understanding
and
then
we
can
all
see
you
see
how
it
could
be
beneficial
to
all.
F
AA
F
F
AA
Well,
there's
a
corridor
on
the
second
floor.
There
is
no
public
access
from
the
ground
level
council
days,
but
on
the
second
level
there
will
be
a
door
that
will
be
allowed
access.
If
you
have
a
room.
Key
goes
to
the
lobby
right
that
that
would
go
to
the
lobby.
However,
if
when
you're
checking
in
you
would
not
have
a
room
key
yet
so
you
would
I
understand
I
understand
and
and
that's
okay,
you
got
to
have
a
curb
cut,
get
into
the
garage,
but
you
said:
there's
going
to
be
a.
F
AA
F
I
don't
think
you
know
really
the
csu
thing
that
came
up.
I
really
don't
think
that's
a
problem.
They
have
their
own
parking
and
mayor.
If
I
may,
I,
mr
aaron
one
more
question:
do
you
have
any
issues
with
your
cantilever
canopy
being
approved
today,
so
you
move
forward?
Is
there
any
aspect
of
construction
that
would
be
delayed
because
of
this.
AA
F
F
F
Mayor,
if
I
may
one
of
the
things
when
we
talked
a
while
back
when
we
were
talking
about
the
meters
in
uptown,
one
of
the
things
I
mentioned
was
you
may
want
to
look
close
at
how
the
utilization
of
parking
spaces
throughout
uptown's
going
to
work
with
all
our
new
hotels
and
certainly
we're
glad
they're
all
coming
in,
and
you
know,
and
and
they're
all
going
to
be
different.
But
I
mean
everybody,
everybody
will
function
different.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
F
These
a
lot
of
it
is
business
matters,
business
related,
that's,
okay,
that
can
all
be
worked
out.
I
I
do
think
that
the
city,
though
the
city's,
got
to
really
look
at
this
and
I'll.
Tell
you
why?
Because
people,
sometimes
I'm
going
to
use
myself
as
an
example
all
right,
because
a
lot
of
times
I'll
go
to
town,
and
you
know
I
don't
necessarily
agree
with
the
parking
agreements
a
hotel,
so
I'm
going
to
look
for
alternative
parking
all
right
and
I
think
that
you
got
a
lot
of
people.
F
F
I
think
what
you're
gonna
find
out
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
parking
places
down
there,
that
people
are
going
to
park
and
just
pull
their
totes
over
to
these
hotels
to
avoid
paying
for
parking
which
is
going
to
create
a
a
problem.
You've
got
a
number
of
rooms.
You've
got
to
know
at
any
given
time
the
number
of
people
coming
into
columbus.
F
I
think
that's
going
to
have
to
be
addressed
somehow,
because
the
small,
what
I'm
hearing-
and
I
think
is
part
of
this
discussion-
is
the
small
business
owners
are
concerned
about
losing
spaces
or
hotel
patrons
deciding
to
park
in
their
spaces,
and
then
nobody
has
adequate
parking.
Now
there
are
some
places
where
it
has
two-hour
parking.
F
So
maybe
it's
an
enforcement
issue,
maybe
there's
some
meter
aspect
to
it,
but
you've
got
some
parking,
for
example
across
the
street,
with
sonomas
there's
no
time
limits,
so
I
mean
people
may
start
parking
in
places
other
than
in
a
parking
garage
or
a
directive
parking
garage
that
may
cause
some
problems.
I
think
that's
something
that
city
needs
to
get
ahead
of.
I
think
the
owners.
F
Can
do
you
want
to
direct
them
to
park
in
those
garages
so
trying
to
find
some
kind
of
enforcement
or
mechanism
to
get
those
people
to
park
in
these
garages
versus
parking
out
on
the
street?
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
and
then
you
can
add
in
the
csu
school
and
everybody
else.
It's
could
could
create
a
problem.
I
think
we
need
to
get
ahead
of,
and
I.
A
Agree,
I
think
that's
why
we
had
that
meeting.
We'll
have
we'll
probably
have
some
subsequent
meetings
and
I
think
when
you
start
seeing
one
of
these
hotels
impact
parking-
and
I
don't
I
don't-
I
don't
know
that
it
will.
I
mean
if
they're,
if
it's
on
their
bill
and
they
they
got
90
spaces
right
there.
You
know,
but
you're
right
we'll
know.
I
think,
as
that
sort
of
evolves,
where
some
of
the
gaps
are
and
and
it's
a
it's
a
moving.
F
J
J
J
You
know,
and
so
I
think
we're
going
somewhere
with
what
you
know.
We've
got
tats
being
developed,
169
million
dollars,
w.c
bradley
ranked
this.
She
got
his
thing
going.
Family
holders
got
their
thing
going
and
and
and
other
developments
we
we
got
to
have
a
a
parking
plan
that
works
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
him
say
that
they
are
building
90
spaces
that
will
be
available
and
and
it'll
be
added
to
our
inventory
and
and
when
people
come
to
town
they're
going
to
expect
to
pay
to
park
in
that
parking
garage.
J
M
Z
M
Is
full,
then
all
the
parking
spaces
are
going
to
be
used,
there's
not
going
to
be
additional
room
for
public
parking
and
then
they're
going
to
be
controlling
the
parking
in
an
area
in
a
block
of
uptown
columbus.
That
is
growing
right
now
that
there's
a
lot
of
new
businesses
going
into
that
block.
There's
a
lot
of
you
know,
there's
a
limited
amount
of
parking
already,
because
we
don't
have
the
parking
lot
like
we
do
in
the
100
block
that
people
could
use.
A
Well,
what
I
would
counter
with,
though,
is
if
you've
got
if
you've
got,
that
hotel,
full
there's
89
rooms,
full
that's
going
to
that's
going
to
really
boost
the
opportunity
for
every
business
around
there.
I
think
that's
why
so
many
new
businesses
are
going
if
they
see
that
hotel,
they
hope
it
is
full.
If
there
is
a
parking
challenge,
you
know
we're
going
to
have
to
find
a
way
to
mitigate
it.
A
J
If
we've
got
90
parking
spaces
in
89
rooms,
there's
a
percentage
of
people,
I
hope
everybody's
not
driving
to
columbus
georgia.
I
hope
they're
flying
in
you
know,
and
so
everybody
at
the
hotel
didn't
drive
and
and
if
they
did
drive,
hopefully
there
were
more
than
one
person
in
a
car.
You
know
so
I
but.
J
J
S
We
just
submitted
our
our
request
in
the
normal
process
and
we
didn't
really
know
about
public
access
and
ernie.
Smallman
is
the
one
who
brought
to
our
attention
if
we
changed
the
handicap
access
areas
that
in
fact,
we
could
probably
add
two
more
spaces
back
on
that
12th
street
side.
So
look
we
we
want
to
work
with
you,
we
don't.
You
know
and
glenn
asked
a
question
about
hilton's
requirements
for
parking,
there's
very
limited
requirements
in
an
uptown
urban
area
from
the
franchisor.
S
So
we've
worked
between
all
those
and
you
know
we
want
to
be
a
good
uptown
citizen.
We
operate
businesses
today
in
the
uptown
in
bid
area,
we're
we're
just
as
we
our
people
experience
the
same
parking
problems
as
everybody
else
down
there.
So
we're
pretty
mindful
to
all
that,
but
I
do
want
to
tell
you
it's
incredibly
expensive
to
build
a
parking
data.
O
O
You
know
today
in
some
of
the
questions
I
received,
because
I
wanted
us
to
go
to
the
table,
discuss
it
like
every
other
council
member
ever
done
in
the
past,
and
myself
go
back
to
the
table,
discuss
it
with
my
constituents
and
yourself
come
and
have
find
a
happy,
medium,
come
back
to
council
and
say
hey.
We
met,
we
found
a
happy
medium
now
we're
ready
to
approve
the
project.
O
G
G
Could
we
at
some
point
revisit
that,
because
I
don't
think
we
really
have
a
huge
problem
with
parking,
as
we
may
think.
I
know
she
did
an
excellent
job
and
I
know
she.
I
think
she
was
going
to
bring
us
a
presentation
if
she
can,
if
she
can
bring
that
back
again,
so
that
we
can
all
look
at
this
here.
I
appreciate
it.
J
G
And
I
appreciate
that
because
I
know
that
she
took
the
time
to
bring
all
the
players
and
and
and
I
and
it
was
just
an
excellent
study,
so
if
she
would
do
that,
I
think
I
don't
I'm
gonna
be
honest
with
you
isaiah.
I
don't
think
we
have
the
parking
problem
that
a
lot
of
people
envision
that
we
do
and
I've
met
you
at
in
savannah.
When
savannah
you
have
to
go
to
go
to
the
hotel,
you
have
to
find
another
place.
G
O
And
pops
this
is
mimi.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
did
reach
out
to
lisa
too,
to
help
us
get
a
better
understanding
when
we
have
our
meetings-
and
I
did
ask
her
some
questions
and
she's
doing
some
research
for
me,
but
you're
absolutely
correct.
I
think,
from
time
and
time
we
do
need
to
bring
that
presentation.
O
U
A
U
Before
we
leave
whether
we
delay
this
resolution
or
not,
we
need
to
get
language
in
the
bottom
of
the
resolution
concerning
the
height
of
this
canopy.
That
can
be
added
right
after
the
word
length.
We
need
something
like
with
minimum
10
foot
five
and
a
half
inch
height
clearance.
If
we
could
just
get
everybody's
approval,
that
that'll
be
added.
A
F
I
F
V
Z
K
F
No,
no,
no!
No!
I'm
talking
about
the
elimination
at
the
upfront
to
use
it
as
an
entryway,
a
drop-off
point,
ballet,
etc.
I'm
sure
that's
what
it's
going
to
be
used
as-
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
I
just
I'm
asking
the
city
attorney:
do
we
need
the
city?
Does
the
city
need
any
legal
documents
to
go
along
with
that
request
to
protect
the
city
or
to
have
an
understanding
right
now?
F
It's
just
an
understanding
that
I
see
that
if
there's
ever
an
issue
with
the
canopy,
the
cantilever
canopy,
the
city
can
make
a
decision
on,
but
I
don't
see
anything
dealing
with
issues
out
on
the
street,
which
could
be
traffic
issues
etc.
Does
there
need
to
be
any
kind
of
legal
agreements
for
all
parties.
U
F
A
K
A
A
There
existed
the
authorization
for
a
governor
of
a
state
to
allow
up
to
45
percent
to
be
distributed
for
reimbursement,
actual
cost
reimbursement,
reversement
attributable
to
the
covet
19
pandemic
and
they're
working
accg
and
gma
are
working
on
a
formula
that
they
presented
to
the
governor,
the
city
manager
and
lisa
goodwin,
and
robert
futrell
have
put
together
some
some
expenditures
that
they
have.
It
was
just
a
survey
they're,
not
those
aren't
the
hard
fast
numbers,
but
to
give
them
an
idea.
A
Now
the
meeting
with
senator
perdue
is
to
discuss
this
new
proposed
wave
of
cares.
Funding
and
there's
actually
been
some
talk
about
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
budgets
of
local
governments
that
are
impacted
might
be
eligible
for
some
relief
in
being
able
to
continue
to
provide
normal
services
and
and
fulfill
their
obligations
to
their
their
communities.
A
So
that's
still
in
the
formulation
stage,
but
we
I
only
mention
it
because
I
want
you
to
know,
as
the
city
manager
said,
every
dollar
that
is
available
to
help
make
our
community
whole
as
a
result
of
this
coven
19.
We
have
people
turning
over
every
rock
and
look
under
every
leaf.
So
we'll
give
you
a
more
formal
report
once
we
get
all
this
stuff
tallied
out.
J
A
G
G
I
I
and
came
out
there
and
you
were
the
ones
you
said
when
you
need
to
do
something:
counselor
barnes
and
you
had
that
same
afternoon
you
had
those
orange
cones
put
up
there
and
the
feedback
of
of
thankfulness
from
that
area
that
community
sharon
bun
was
out
there
with
her
husband
and
and
a
student
charmaine
was
out
there.
It
was
just
such
a
feeling
of
relief
and
trust
me.
J
Yes,
and
let
me
just
say
on
the
reach
road
deputy
city
manager,
hodge-
is
telling
me
on
that
bridge.
It's
a
9
month
timeline.
So
it's
it's
going
to
move
pretty
quick
yeah
and
then
the
ammunition
for
police
department
was
number
two
and,
and
then
the
third
one
is
plumbing
and
irrigation
supplies
with
west
georgia.
Plumbing
supply
in
the
amount
of
sixty
one
thousand
nine
hundred
nineteen
dollars
and
eighty
five
cents
on
an
as
needed
basis.
J
I've
got
three
updates
remaining
the
first
one
on
stormwater
and
then
we're
going
to
do
tax
allocation
districts
and
then
we're
going
to
do
the
monthly
finance
update,
and
so
the
stormwater
update,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
deputy
city
manager,
pam,
hodge
and
engineer
director
donna
newman,
and
they
have
some
guests
with
him
from
barge
design
solutions,
david,
bishop
and
scott
thompson,
and
so
deputy
city
manager,
hodge
or
engineer
donna
newman.
Would
you
introduce
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
today?.
V
Sure,
good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
we
have
brought
with
us
today
our
consultants
from
barge
they
work
with
us
on
all
of
our
storm
water
projects,
and
we
just
wanted
to
provide
you
with
an
update
of
some
of
the
key
areas
that
we
have
been
looking
at.
Barge
has
done
a
lot
of
work
with
with
us
on
these
and
how
we
have
prioritized
these
projects
for
your
consideration.
A
To
make
sure
that
everyone
is
aware
of
what
we
are
seeing,
which
is
a
we've
got
a
town.
That's
got
some
aging
infrastructure
that
not
a
lot
of
people
get
to
see,
but
when
they
do
fail,
that's
when
people
see
it
and
we're
having
we've
been
noticing,
that's
been
failing
at
a
much
higher
rate
than
in
the
past,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
bring
everybody
up
to
speed.
A
And
then
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
financial
aspect
of
that
as
well.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
scott
to
kind
of
start
off
the
presentation,
and
if
anybody
has
any
questions
as
we
go
through,
it
just
stop
us
and
we
can
explain
anything
that
you've
got
any
questions
about
so
scott
I'll.
Let
you
kind
of
take
it
from
here.
W
W
This
map.
We
have
a
map
that
shows
all
the
stormwater
projects
that
have
been
identified
today
and,
and
the
purpose
of
this
map
is
to
show
that
these
projects
have
been
identified
throughout
the
entire
city,
really
just
trying
not
to
focus
on
downtown,
but
as
the
city
as
a
whole,
we'll
get
into
more
detail
with
these
projects
further
down
in
the
presentation
next
slide.
W
This
is
the
results
of
that
grading
and
you
can
see
the
first
six
projects
receive
the
grade
of
f,
meaning
they
need
immediate
attention
and
it
goes
down
the
line
d
c
b
and
a
and
one
thing
to
note
is
these
projects
are
graded.
This
way,
currently
the
longer
they
are
not
completed.
The
grade
will
tend
to
degrade
into
a
lower
grade
with
needing
more
immediate
attention
next
slide.
W
One
key
thing
to
note
here
and
the
reason
this
project
is
is
of
high
priority.
Is
there
is
a
very
large
sewer
interceptor
line
in
that
slope
owned
by
columbus
water
works
that
that
transfers,
wastewater,
combined
sewer
to
the
treatment
plant
and
really
just
cannot
afford
to
compromise
that
line
next
slide?
I
have
a
few
more
pictures
of
this.
W
You
can
see
on
the
photo
on
the
left.
The
baskets
are
supposed
to
be
about
18
inches
tall,
and
it
has
sunk
down
to
being
only
probably
four
or
five
inches
tall.
That's
due
to
just
the
lack
of
foundation
pudding
being
washed
out,
the
intent
of
this
design
was
to
have
vegetation
growing
on
the
baskets
which
would
stabilize
it,
but
the
maintenance
that
has
resulted
just
it
hasn't,
worked
out
and
is
failing.
This
next
project
is
out
on
linton
road.
W
Probably
everyone
has
seen
the
wall
directly
adjacent
to
the
road
it
is,
is
failing
water
seeping
through.
We
currently
have
a
design.
The
previous
gaming
basket
is
under
proposal.
We
have
a
proposal
submitted
to
the
city
to
redesign
that
project.
Many
of
these
projects
are
already
designed,
but
not
yet
constructed.
W
W
Next
slide,
there's
many
areas
in
the
downtown
historic
district
areas
that
fled
during
events,
even
small
rain
events,
particularly
on
front
avenue,
which,
as
we
were
just
discussing
earlier,
is
kind
of
a
high
traffic
uptown
area
that
is
likely
going
to
to
see
a
lot
of
tourism
and
new
traffic.
So
these
areas
need
to
be
addressed
with
the
flooding
and
the
parking
spaces
as
well
as
well
as
undersized
infrastructure
to
handle
the
combined
sewer.
W
This
project
is
actually
under
current
design
by
us
next
project
onesie
drive
slope.
Failure
is
a
project.
That's
been
identified
for
a
while.
Looking
at
some
external
funding
for
this
project,
it
is,
is
out
over
on
the
east
side
of
town
near
carver,
high
school
and
the
slope
is
continually
failing.
K
J
O
G
O
W
This
project
is
along
the
riverwalk
on
the
north
side
of
town
at
23rd
street.
You
can
see
the
photo
on
the
left
is
from
last
may
of
2019,
and
the
photo
on
the
right
is
current
this
month.
This
happened
with
the
last
flood
event,
and
the
slope
is
sloughing
off
and
will
continually
get
worse
until
it
undermines
the
riverwalk.
W
W
W
W
Once
once
the
the
pipes
fail
it,
it
pulls
dirt
from
outside
the
pipe
into
the
pipe,
washes
it
downstream
and
creates
sinkholes
at
the
surface.
Many
of
these
are
around
the
city,
and
public
works
address
them
best.
They
can,
but
as
the
infrastructure
continues
to
fail,
the
situation
just
gets
worse
next
slide.
W
W
This
list
here
is
is
basically
an
expanded
list
from
the
the
first
color-coded
list
that
we
showed
the
red
is
on
the
project's
graded
f
and
it
works
down
the
list.
You
can
see
the
column
name,
construction,
cost
estimate.
That
was
the
cost
estimate
that
was
generated
at
the
time
the
particular
project
was
designed,
which
could
have
been
up
to
six
years
ago.
W
The
second
column
brings
those
dollars
to
current
twenty
twenty
dollars
with
just
an
inflation
of
four
percent,
and
you
can
see
that
total
second
column
is,
is
twenty
and
a
half
million
dollars?
Those
are
those
are
the
projects
that
have
been
identified.
Many
of
them
designed,
but
just
need
funding
for
construction
and,
and
the
third
column
is,
is
an
extrapolation
of
those
dollars
to
2025.
W
Just
noting
that
you
know
longer
weight
the
more
it
costs
and
the
more
that
these
projects
will
degrade
into
a
more
immediate
need
and
then
the
project
status
column.
You
can
see
whether
we
have
a
proposal
for
the
design,
design,
complete
designed
underway
or
just
a
change
order
needed.
You
can
also
note
the
two
red
f
items
at
the
below
are
projects
that
have
been
identified
but
will
be
allocated
with
other
source
funding,
19th
street.
That
abatement
and
lindsey
drive
that
we
saw
previously
next
slide.
A
A
Many
of
these
pipes
either
had
a
25
to
50
year
life
expectancy
and,
like
many
cities
all
over
the
country
is,
they
are
well
beyond
his
lifespans
and
what
we're
seeing
now
is
a
is
the
failure
rate
going
up
and
I've
I've
been
working
with
ccg
for
about
15
years
being
a
stormwater.
You
know
consultant
on
designs
and
what
I've
been
seeing
personally
is
probably,
in
the
last
four
to
five
years,
I've
been
I've
been
seeing.
A
The
rate
of
failures
go
up
more
so
than
I
had
10
years
prior,
and
so,
as
you
know,
the
city
with
dot
with
working
with
miss
donna
and
miss
pam.
You
know:
we've
been
been
diligent
on
when
the
issue
gets
identified.
We
go
look
at
it.
We
find
out
what
the
issue
is.
We
come
up
with
a
design,
but
the
hindrance
is
the
funding
is
the
biggest
issue,
as
you
can
see
in
this
table
here.
A
In
the
last
six
years,
we've
spent
close
to
five
million
dollars
on
those
repair
projects
or
replacement
projects,
but
also
in
the
same
six
years,
20
million
dollars
of
projects
have
been
identified
as
being
issues
now.
What
I
will
say
is
the
projects
that
you
saw
that
were
red
and
orange.
Okay,
that
was
the
d's
and
the
f's,
that's
seven
million
dollars.
Those
are
ones
that
are
imminent.
A
But
if
those
are
get,
if
those
get
pushed
out
too
far,
those
becomes
d's
and
f's
and
like
anything
when
you
get
emergency
work,
you
know
and
obviously
the
cost
of
those
products
go
through
the
roof
to
deal
with
those.
So
what
I
came
to
meet
with
miss
pam,
hodge
and
city
manager
and
ms
donna
on
was,
I
just
see
a
trend
of
projects
getting
identified
more
so
than
funding
that
is
available
to
address
those,
and
so
I
had
a
meeting
with
them
and
they
felt
like
that.
A
It
was
a
good
thing,
good
idea
to
come
and
present
this
to
the
mayor
city
council,
to
make
everyone
aware
for
seeing
out
there
and
if
there's,
you
know
potentially
ways
to
provide
funding
for
these
projects,
because
I
don't
see
them
getting
any
better
because
of
how
much
infrastructure
we
that
you
have
in
the
ground
and
and
the
rates
that
they
have
been
failing,
and
obviously
we've
had
a
lot
of
couple
of
wet
years.
That
has
definitely
made
those
problems
even
worse.
So.
A
J
Thank
you
david
and
scott,
and
mayor
and
council.
I,
when
this
was
brought
to
me.
I
thought
I
needed
to
share
it
with
you
and
and
the
public
and
to
make
the
point
that
we
have
more
challenges
with
infrastructure,
more
projects,
obviously
than
money,
and
we
have
got
to
put
our
heads
together
and
figure
out.
J
J
V
We
will
be
able
to
take
care
of
the
first
project
on
the
list,
which
is
the
riverwalk
project
right
behind
the
synovis
building,
we'll
be
able
to
handle
that
project,
as
well
as
the
winton
road
wall
project,
but
then
moving
into
next
fiscal
year,
we'll
be
able
to
do
one
project.
That's
on
this
list
to
address
those
concerns,
so
funding
is
an
issue
and
we
will
be
coming
back
with
some
options
for
council
to
consider
on
how
to
fund
stormwater
moving
forward.
J
J
But
then
I
want
you
to
then
point
to
the
projects
we
will
not
handle,
because
we
don't
have
money
and
show
to
show
the
severity
of
of
those
things
we
will
not
handle
because
we
don't
have
money.
So
can
you
put
those
back
up
to
show
what
we
will
we
anticipate
we
can
handle
with
funding
that
we
have
identified
and
then
the
critical
ones
that
we
can't
handle
that
need
to
be
handled
now
in
their
f
project
or
d
projects.
V
Okay,
so
slide
five.
So
this
is
the
riverwalk
project
right
behind
the
synovus
building.
This
project
will
be
able
to
fund
and
move
forward
with
this
project
being
the
one
that's
the
highest
priority,
we'll
also
be
able
to
find
slide
7,
which
is
the
winton
road
wall
project.
This
project
will
be
able
to
fund
and
then
go
back
to
or
go
to
slide.
V
V
We'll
be
able
to
address
the
riverwalk
project
in
fy21.
Those
are
the
ones
that
we
can
fund
currently
with
the
allocation
that
we
received
in
fy20
and
then
fy21.
Those
would
be
the
projects.
Now
there
is
funding
for
the
19th
street
flood
abatement.
That's
been
a
project,
that's
ongoing!
We're
waiting
on
the
final
easement
to
move
forward
with
that,
so
that
project
had
been
funded
already
in
the
past.
V
A
J
V
V
Z
Z
How
you
met
go
ahead,
we
do
have
a
contractor
under
contract
and
we
also
have
the
bridge
the
replacement
bridge
that
has
already
been
ordered
and
delivered
to
the
contractor.
The
delay
current
delay
is
whitney,
has
a
major
fiber
optic
line
that
runs
through
the
construction
area
that
they
haven't
been
able
to
identify
the
location.
J
A
A
A
J
F
J
Funding
is
on
the
agenda
of
in
washington,
I'll
I'll
say
so
I
think
gma
and
hccg
have
kind
of
surveyed
on
you
know,
infrastructure
project
needs,
and,
and
and
and
this
should
show
you
that
we
are
trying
to
be
forward-
thinking-
we're
trying
to
have
shovel
ready
projects
that
we
can
communicate
this
information
to
the
state
or
washington
in
an
instant,
and
so
that's
the
position
we're
trying
to
place
ourselves
in
okay.
My
second
question.
F
Is-
and
I
receive
a
lot
of
calls-
they
asked
me
with
the
damage
on
the
river
wall,
some
of
the
damage
that
was
shown
today
on
these
slide
presentations.
Are
we
do
we
receive
gma
money?
Do
we
receive
any
rehabilitative
or
reconstruction
type
funding
for
this
type
of
damage
that
occurs
quite
often
or
are
we
having
to
handle
it
with
in
our
own
funds
within
our
own
within
the
city's
budget?
Well,.
J
A
Mr
manager,
I
will
say
that
we
just
have
completed
three
slope
failure
projects
that
was
gma
funded
due
to
the
flood.
That
happened
a
couple
of
years.
You
know
two
or
three
years
ago
and
they
did
fund
those.
Due
to
that
particular,
you
know
flooding
event,
so
this
one
is
now
failing
similar
to
the
ones
that
we
made
the
repairs
on,
but
it
did
not
occur
during
a
you
know,
one
catastrophic
event
that
they
can
tie
it
to.
A
W
I
A
J
So
in
council
davis
and
to
to
mayor
and
council
and
mayor
you
know
this,
but
I
just
want
you
to
to
be
assured
that
when
there's
an
event
we
go
after
fema
dollars,
gma
dollars
related
to
hurricanes
and
everything
else.
We
always
have
a
team
that
we
we
were
working
and
the
mayor
mentioned
about
the
covet.
J
J
we've
got
a
team
of
the
two
deputy
city
managers,
the
finance
director,
robert
fruttrell
homeland
security,
with
riley
lane
and
with
our
hr
director,
because
we
want
to
cover
from
personnel
expense
to
every
we're,
looking
at
hospitals
and
just
healthcare,
we're
looking
at
every
category,
trying
to
assemble
any
expense
that
even
they
expensed
that
we
potentially
can
be
reimbursed
on.
So
that
team
is
working
every
day
and
we
do
that
for
every
event,
whether
it's
a
hurricane
tornado,
I
mean
tornado
or
any
other
event.
J
V
V
Access
to
us,
520
to
custer
road,
was
developed
under
the
tia
project.
That
was
one
of
our
first
tia
projects.
There
is
a
proposed
interchange
there
at
I-185
and
casita,
oh
cassida
road,
which
will
also
help
access
to
this
particular
site.
There's
currently,
no
development
has
occurred
at
this
proposed
business
park,
so
there's
building
permits
what
we've
pulled
is
the
building
permit.
This
does
not
include
any
site
work,
just
building
permits
in
that
particular
tab.
V
The
major
project
that
took
place
in
the
liberty
district
contains
the
liberty,
theater
the
jail
south
commons
and
several
industrial
areas.
We've
had
little
growth
in
that
particular
area.
We've
had
68
commercial
permits
pulled
for
just
over
30
million
dollars
since
2016
and
again
these
are
building
permits,
not
all
the
site
work
that
goes
with
a
particular
project.
Out
of
that
30
million
15
was
the
housing
authorities
project
and
then
claflin,
just
under
5
million
and
we've
had
eight
residential
permits
pulled
since
2016
for
295
000..
V
The
second
redevelopment
area
in
the
uptown
is
the
uptown
district
covers
195
acres,
traditional
our
downtown
area
of
the
community,
and
there
has
been
a
significant
investment
in
improvement
in
this
particular
area
of
our
community.
We
do
have
two
pending
tad
applications
for
development,
one
with
wc
bradley,
a
total
of
167
million
dollar
development.
V
V
V
V
V
V
V
V
The
fort
benning
technology
park
has
twelve
thousand
dollars
almost
thirteen
thousand
in
the
river
district.
The
uptown
district,
which
is
where
we've
seen
most
of
our
development,
is
over
a
million
dollars,
city,
village,
233
000,
the
liberty,
district,
26,
000,
midtown,
east
23,
000
and
midtown
west
369
000.
And
at
this
point
we
have
not
received
any
increment
in
the
midland
commons
tad.
V
So,
just
specifically,
looking
at
the
liberty
district
we've
had
a
lot
of
questions
come
up
about
the
liberty
district.
There
was
funding
allocated
in
1999
through
the
splost
five
million
dollars
utilized
to
date,
as
just
over
3.6
million.
That
was
used
for
property
acquisition.
Just
under
2
million
dollars,
the
ma
rainey
rehabilitation,
147
000
there
was
some
additional
grant
funding
which
I'll
cover
in
in
a
minute
the
resting
gardens,
also
known
as
the
black
cemetery
199
9915.
V
We
did
some
street
scapes
in
that
area.
Out
of
this
splost
dollars,
167
000
there
was
a
contribution
out
of
the
liberty,
district
splash
funding
for
the
flood
abatement
of
100
of
644
000.
There
was
signal
and
lighting
of
291
thousand
and
then
other
expenditures,
environmental
appraisals,
engineering,
services
of
227
000..
The
balance
in
the
this
funding
is
1.3
million.
Of
that
600
000
has
been
committed
to
the
dragonfly
trail
connection,
which
was
presented
to
council.
This
would
be
the
connection
from
mlk
and
to
the
river.
V
So
this
is
just
the
chart
that
shows
the
city-owned
property
in
the
liberty
district,
utilizing
the
splost
funding
to
purchase.
You
can
see
all
those
highlighted
in
the
lavender
color
of
the
ma
rainey
house.
This
was
the
rehabilitation
of
the
mahrani
house
that
was
done
several
years
ago,
the
resting
garden
slave
cemetery.
V
V
V
V
J
And
deputy
city
manager,
let
me
just
interject
to
say
that
we
were
having
serious
flooding
issues
in
the
liberty
district,
and
this
flood
abatement
project
came
about
to
not
eliminate
at
100
percent
but
to
reduce
the
flooding.
They
often
would
call
us
from
jose
chapel
church
on
eighth
in
the
basement.
It
was
all
flooded,
liberty,
flooded
and-
and
so
we
went
in-
and
we
did
this
massive
flood
abatement
project
that
ended
up
costing
us
the
43
million
dollars
that
you
highlight
and,
along
with
what
you
just
showed
them.
J
That's
beneath
below
sixth
avenue
the
street
that
you
ride
on.
We
streetscaped
that
street
and
we
put
the
decorative
light
poles
in
the
middle
of
the
median
that
you
can
see
there
and
the
trees
are
planted
and
we
beautified
the
area
along
6th
avenue,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
point
about
the
flooding
that
was
occurring
and
we
went
in
to
help
alleviate
the
flooding
issues
in
the
liberty
district.
V
This
is
the
parking
lot
there
that
was
constructed
at
6th
and
9th
street
and
just
some
history
of
the
liberty
district.
You
know
the
master
plan
was
adopted
in
2003
2004
time
period,
the
housing
authority
had
proposed
investment
of
approximately
33
million
dollars
in
2012
for
the
mixed
use,
housing
development
park
and
green
space.
V
At
that
time
there
was
a
significant
opposition
which
led
to
the
redevelopment
of
booker
t
washington
on
the
existing
site.
Where
you
see
it
today
in
2017
there
was
a
liberty
district
committee
that
was
established.
There
was
five
public
meetings
were
held
in
the
district
to
obtain
input
from
citizens
about
the
future
of
that
area.
V
J
I
asked
deputy
city
manager
hodge
to
put
this
slide
in
place
all
in
this
presentation,
because
we,
you
know,
I
keep
hearing
all
this
chatter
and-
and
I
think
it's
important
that
I
share
with
the
mayor
and
council
and
with
the
the
citizens
of
columbus,
where
the
money
is
being
spent,
and
so
I
asked
her
to
put
this
slide
here
in
to
to
show
exactly
that.
And
so
why
don't
you
proceed
deputy
city
manager,
hodge.
V
J
V
And
I'd
also
just
want
to
end
here
with
questions
to
thank
also
rick
jones,
who
you
know
was
working
with
me
on
this
presentation.
If
there's
anything,
he
wants
to
add,
as
well
as
charlotte
davis
she's
been
working
very
hard
to
produce
maps
and
building
permit
information.
So
I
appreciate
all
of
her
input
as
well.
O
O
O
V
V
O
O
F
So
I
I
mean
I'm
I'd
like
to
bring
that
to
the
attention
of
coach
inspection
or
somebody
l,
six
street
fish
street.
There
are
some
places
down
there
that
just
you
know
I
just
brought
the
question
my
mind:
why
are
they
still
there?
They?
They
really
need
to
be
demolished,
and
you
know
I
think,
a
lot
of
the
funds
that
we
talk
about.
That
was
the
purpose
and
the
intent.
So
could
you
get
somebody
to
check
on
those
places
and
see
if
we
can
continue
to
to
do
the
good
work?
That's.
F
You
got
you
actually,
mr
city
manager,
to
your
credit,
and
I
want
to
thank
you.
You
I
mean
you
and
councilor
huff
knows
the
places
we
talked
about.
Before
I
mean
they,
they
got
on
them
pretty
quick
matter
of
fact.
One
of
them
was
had
a
lot
of
asbestos
and
it
took
a
while
and
it
was
costly
so,
but
you
did
get
that
done
and
I
I
think,
there's.
F
J
K
The
generally
the
rule
is,
the
law
is
that
the
school
district
and
this
and
the
city
participate
in
funding
of
the
of
the
tad
generally.
The
school
district
gets
60
of
the
tax
money,
and
this
and
the
city
gets
40
percent.
My
question
is:
has
the
school
district
agreed
to
participate
in
all
of
the
tads
except
the
midland
commons
had?
J
And
let
me
just
say
to
before
I
proceed
just
to
make
another
point
about
the
liberty,
district
and,
and
I'm
sure
the
mayor's
chief
of
staff
is
on
the
in
the
meeting.
But
the
mayor's
chief
of
staff
came
to
me
and
wanted
to
do
when
he
was
president
ceo
of
uptown
and
wanted
to
do
a
tax
allocation
from
uptown
for
uptown,
and
I
said
to
him
you
know
yeah.
I
can
support
doing
a
tax
allocation
district
for
uptown,
but
I
need
you
to
help
with
something,
and
I
said
when
you
do
it
for
uptown.
J
I
need
you
to
figure
out
how
to
pay
to
get
a
tad
done
for
the
liberty
district
area,
and
I
said
you
know,
and
we're
going
to
be
all
in
if
you
do
and
he
I'm
sure
the
mayor's
chief
staff
is
on
the
phone,
but
that's
how
the
liberty,
district,
chad,
the
consultant
and
all
got
created
and
paid
for
because
it
was
paid
for
through
the
president
and
ceo
of
uptown,
because
I
asked
him
to,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
point.
It
didn't
just
come
about
as
a
tax
allocation
district.
J
It
was
it
came
about
with
the
support
of
uptown
columbus
and-
and
I
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
him
for
paying
to
help
get
that
done.
It
didn't
come
out
of
liberty,
district
dollars
and
liberty
theater
dollars.
It
came
out
of
uptown,
and
so
I
I
wanted
to
make
that
point
of
how
it
became
a
tax
allocation
district
before
we
leave
that
tax
allocation
districts,
and
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
call
on
finance
director
angelica
alexander
for
her
monthly
finance,
update.
Y
D
Yes,
okay,
sorry,
I
was
on
mute
thanks
for
the
heads
up
there,
jeremy,
I'm
hoping
that
you
all
can
see
the
monthly
finance
snapshot
that
I
have
up
on
my
screen
here.
This
was
sent
out
to
url
via
email,
and
it
is
also
posted
on
the
city's
website
under
the
monthly
finance
reports,
but
just
starting
to
the
right
side
of
the
snapshot.
If
you're
facing
the
screen
here,
I'm
starting
with
the
general
fund,
the
general
fund
is
up
8.67,
the
other
local
option.
D
Sales
tax
fund
is
up
4.21,
one
thing
I'll
make
mention
of
as
far
as
the
percentages
here.
These
are
year-to-date
totals.
So,
although
it
was
reported
during
the
budget
review
session
last
week
that
we
were
down
about
4
in
our
sales
tax
collections
from
march
of
2020
to
march
of
2019
year,
to
date,
we
are
still
up
4.21,
we'll
obviously
continue
to
closely
monitor
our
sales
tax
collections.
D
Making
big
saw
declines
of
about
10
percent.
Augusta
richmond
saw
declines
of
about
10
percent
as
well
as
athens.
Clark
county
saw
declines
of
about
10.
So
again,
our
difference
for
march's
collections
was
only
about
a
four
percent
decline
from
march
of
2019
and
again
we'll
we'll
closely
monitor
that
as
we
proceed
on
through
this
fiscal
year
and
into
fy21
on
the
star
wars,
sewer
fund
is
down
6.27
percent.
D
True
up,
that's
rated
to
that's
due
to
the
title
at
valorum
change
that
was
effective
in
july,
so
it'll
be
down
this
year
for
the
tax,
supported
funds,
and
hopefully
we'll
see
that
sort
of
stabilize
in
fy
21.
When
we
make
those
comparisons,
the
paving
fund
is
down
6.12
medical
center
fund
down
6.12
integrated
waste
fund
is
down
0.58
percent.
D
The
emergency
telephone
fund
is
up
five
point:
nine
five
percent
and
again
the
state
took
over
the
collections
of
the
e-911
surcharges
back
in
january
of
2019,
and
so
we
saw
significant
improvements
to
on
those
collections.
Since
the
state
took
over
that
function,
the
economic
development
authority
fund
is
down
6.12.
D
D
18.35
percent
and
the
civic
center
fund
is
down
0.68
and
again
all
the
revenues
are
down.
They
are
tied
to
expenditures
which
are
down
zero.
One
percent
as
well
I'm
moving
further
down
on
the
right
side
of
the
snapshot
into
the
other
local
options:
sales,
tax,
public
safety
summary
I'm
here
to
date,
we've
collected
about
20.
D
D
D
Moving
over
to
the
left
side
of
the
snapshot
here,
just
pointing
out
in
the
general
fund,
the
budget
for
our
revenues
for
fy20
is
about
what
152.8
million
dollars
in
budgeted
revenues
that
we
anticipate
to
receive
in
fy20
and
year.
To
date,
we've
collected
about
137
million
of
that
which
is
roughly
90
of
our
budget,
and
this
is
as
of
april
2020.
We've
collected
about
90
percent
of
our
expected
revenues
for
the
jones
fund.
D
Moving
down
to
the
general
fund
expenditures
you'll
see
here
that
the
goal
as
of
april
2020
is
to
be
above
16.66
percent.
The
departments
that
are
highlighted
here
in
yellow
are
the
ones
that
are
be
have
exceeded.
That
goal,
I'm
just
starting
out
with
the
city,
attorney's
litigation,
we're
obviously
still
defending
several
million
in
claims
with
that.
The
employee
benefits
of
overage
is
due
to
the
annual
death
benefit
and
major
disability
payments
that
we
make
that
division
within
itself
shouldn't
will
not
be
over
budget
as
we
close
out
fy20.
D
And
then
the
last
department
is
the
public
defender's
office,
and
that
is
due
to
the
monthly
contract
that
we
pay
to
the
state
for
the
public
defender's
office
to
provide
those
services
to
us.
This
contract
is
paid
in
advance
so,
overall
for
the
month
of
april,
the
total
expenditures
for
the
fund
cap
out
at
about
118
million
or
about
24
of
the
budget
that
was
adopted
for
the
fund,
which
is
well
above
our
goal.
J
J
AB
AB
AB
Sometimes
that
kind
of
merges
into
some
of
the
work
we've
been
doing
with
hotel
developments
and
and
other
types
of
specialty
commercial,
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
spend
a
second
just
to
kind
of
give
you
a
glimpse
into
what
these
decision
makers
are
are
looking
at.
It
really
depends
on
the
angle
that
they're,
taking
you
know,
does
does
a
real
estate
solution.
Is
that
what's
driving
the
decision?
AB
Is
it
initially
data
and
demographics?
Is
it
the
availability
of
skilled
labor?
Is
it
the
cost
of
that
labor?
Is
there
other
things,
though?
Is
it
related
to
access,
whether
that's
highway
access
or
access
to
infrastructure?
You
all
spent
a
lot
of
time
this
morning
talking
about
infrastructure
type
projects.
AB
But
if
you're,
looking
more
on
the
commercial
and
retail
side
of
things,
what
we've
been
focused
on
is:
is
these
primary
job
creators
in
the
first
bucket?
Those
are
the
industrial
office
because,
as
we're
seeing
in
this
pandemic,
without
these
main
drivers
of
spending
in
the
retail
commercial
sector,
you
can
have
all
the
greatest
retail
and
commercial
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
but
without
those
primary
job
creators
who
then
have
money
to
spend
in
the
local
economy.
AB
That's
that
that's
that
ripple
effect
through
the
economy.
That's
that's
so
important.
Typically,
the
the
factors
on
the
retail
commercial
side
are
are
things
like
travel
patterns
and
kind
of
natural
boundary
areas,
where's
the
current
retail
tenant
mix?
What's
the
competition
look
like
not
only
within
the
jurisdiction
but
outside
of
it
and
into
the
region?
Travel
times
start
getting
into
play,
and
then
you
know
existing
sites
and
buildings.
AB
So
really
it
kind
of
runs
the
the
gamut
as
to
you
know,
which
factor
or
factors
are
driving
the
train,
the
decision-making
train
and
and
oftentimes.
It
just
really
depends
on
what
type
of
industry
it
is
and
really
what
the
ultimate
goal
is.
The
last
thing
I'll
mention
you
know
on
the
on
the
skilled
labor
side.
AB
A
lot
of
these
searches
are
being
done,
especially
in
this
era
that
we're
living
in
at
the
moment,
they're
being
done
on
the
desktop
they're,
maybe
looking
for
an
available
building
or
available
site,
or
they
may
be
looking
at
hey
before
we
even
get
into
the
real
estate
solution,
let's
figure
out
kind
of
what?
What
does
the?
What
does
the
labor
look
like?
What
are
the
data
and
demographics,
and
sometimes
those
two
are
reversed,
but
it
it
really
all
depends
on
on
what
what
really
is
driving
the
train.
AB
So
I
I
hope
that
kind
of
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
insight
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
factors
that
site
selection,
consultants,
real
estate
professionals,
companies
themselves
or
their
real
estate
departments
are,
are
looking
at
when
they're,
when
they're
trying
to
make
decisions.
The
bottom
line
is
they
want
to
make
they're
in
business
to
make
money,
and
so
all
these
factors
kind
of
line
up
in
their
business
model,
as
it
relates
to
their
bottom
line.
J
AB
O
AB
Well,
I
I
think
it
all
depends
on
you
know
what
the
use
is
you
know
is
it
is
it
office
industrial
is
it?
Is
it
commercial
retail,
and
so
we
not
only
we,
we
field
all
sorts
of
different
calls
and
and
inquiries
as
it
relates
to
that,
and
then
we
are
able
to
kind
of
you
know,
vet
those
projects
and
try
to
assist
in
different
ways.
We
can
and
it
all
depends.
J
To
do
this,
and
I
need
them
to
be
involved
as
a
team,
cbb
development
authority
and
pam
hodge,
of
course,
mayor's
always
involved.
But
but
when
an
investor
calls
my
office,
I'm
turning
it
over
to
them
because
that's
their
expertise,
that's
what
they
do,
and
so
I
rely
on
brian
and
his
team
and
he's
got
the
best
and
brightest
man
on
the
development
authority
to
get
it
done.
J
O
AB
Well,
certainly,
as
a
team,
it's
it's
both
ways
and
it
all
depends
on
what
the
request
is
and
if
it's
something
that
I
need
to
involve
pam
or
or
isaiah,
and
we're
certainly
going
to
do
that.
And
you
know
it's
it's
it's
just
how
that
team
structure
works
and-
and
you
know
I
have
colleagues
and
peers
across
the
state-
and
frankly,
I
wouldn't
want
to
do
this
job
in
any
other
jurisdiction
other
than
columbus
and
because
of
the
fact
that
we
have.
AB
F
I
have
a
question
for
you
sure,
mr
manager,
I
have
a
question
for
brian
sure.
Look,
we
had
a
lot
of
conversation
on
development
today
and
potential
development
and
I
think,
mississippi
manager.
You
talked
about
tads.
You
brought
up
all
these
areas
that
are
available
to
develop
in
columbus.
I
want
to
specifically
just
talk
a
minute
about
the
liberty
district.
F
Probably
got
the
most
development
incentives
of
anywhere
else
in
this
town.
It
would
be
attracted
by
far
if
you
base
it
on
that
brian.
What
I'm
interested
in!
What
are
you
seeing?
What
kind
of
interest
are
you
seeing
in
the
liberty
district,
and,
if
you
are,
I
mean
if
you
would
talk
and
expand
on
that
from
that
standpoint,
the
the
opportunities
the
the.
F
AB
AB
Sure,
counselor
davis,
I
think
you
know
first
of
all
my
my
impressions
of
the
liberty
district
is.
It
is
a
it
is
a
challenging
area
to
develop
in
because
of
its
of
its
mix
of
industrial
with
residential,
but
with
also
some
commercial.
So
so
it's
kind
of
a
kind
of
one
of
those
hybrid
areas,
and
it's
it's
a
it's.
I
think
a
challenge
fro.
AB
Obviously
you
know
it's,
it's
hasn't
had
the
level
of
commercial
retail
investment
you've
seen
some,
but
you
know
to
try
to
bring
major
residential
to
that
area.
Is,
is
a
challenge
because
you've
got
you
know,
you've
got
industrial,
then
you've
got
you
know,
you've
got
the
jail
that
that
whole
area
is
is
is
going
to
be
kind
of
hard
to
do
that
now
we
did
put
out
a
liberty,
district
rfp,
and
it
was
sometime.
Last
year
we
got
very
limited
response
to
that.
AB
There
was
a
proposal
to
do
some
kind
of
mixed
use
in
that
area
and,
and
that
could
be
a
good
fit,
but
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
it's
going
to
take
somebody
who's
going
to
really
you
know,
have
the
development
experience
and
the
acumen
and
the
wherewithal
financially
to
make
those
types
of
projects
a
reality.
I
have
not
frankly,
come
across
any
developers,
and
we
put
that
rfp
out
to
a
lot
of
people
that
that
we
did.
We
got
very
limited
response
in
that
you
know.
AB
AB
AB
A
A
A
O
Yes
and
a
lot
of
that
property
around
there
looks
like
in
that
map.
We
owned
it.
So
a
lot
of
that.
If
a
developer
even
wanted
to
come
into
that
area,
we
have
to
see
how
we
either
sell
that
property
or
become
a
private
partner
partnership,
because
no
one's
going
to
be
able
to
develop
or
even
consider
much
of
that
area
when
we
own
most
of
the
property
to
do
a
development.
O
O
So
I'm
interested
to
continue
this
conversation
at
another
time
and
glenn
you're,
so
smart
on
this
stuff.
I
would
love
me,
you
and
brian
to
have
a
conversation
about
this
because
I'm
like
isaiah,
I
hope,
before
I
leave
this
earth.
Something
gets
done
there
and
it's
very
crazy
with
everything
that's
been
going
on.
So
thank
you.
It
was
very
informative
that
I
appreciate
it.
J
Well
and
I'll
say-
and
this
will
be
the
last
point-
because
I
know
we
need
to
move
on
unless
there
are
questions
from
council
but-
and
we
talked
about
an
acre
and
all
of
that.
But
the
thing
that's
puzzling
to
me
in
a
sense
is
how
can
liberty
district
be
a
rock
throw
from
uptown,
with
all
that
you
heard
today
in
the
ted's
and
uptown?
J
J
F
I
you
know
to
me:
that's
what's
missing
because,
like
I
said
earlier,
you've
got
you've
got
the
most
development
of
centers
anywhere
in
this
town
sitting
right
in
the
liberty
district
tons
of
opportunities
there,
so
you've
got
to
have
something
else
to
add
to
the
equation.
It's
like
a
piece
of
puzzle,
that's
you
have
to
put
it
in
the
middle
and
you
fit
it
there
and
then
it'll
start
growing
from
there
and
everything
comes
together
and
then
it
just
starts
blending
in
with
the
rest
of
the
components
you
have
towards
the
river.
F
O
And
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
that:
that's
exactly
what
happened
in
uptown.
Let's
keep
in
mind.
Uptown
was
completely
dead,
maybe
two
three
stores
were
there:
an
anchor
went
in
before
the
anchor
came
in
people
got
together
and
started.
Creating
the
uptown
and
the
city
went
in
there
developing
and
then
csu
came
in
and
that's
how
his
mouth
is.
O
A
J
J
B
Good
afternoon,
mr
mayor
and
council
for
the
clerk's
agenda,
we
have
a
resolution
to
change
the
time
for
the
regular
council
meeting
of
june
9th
to
5
30
pm
for
the
council
to
hold
a
special
call
meeting
on
june
16th
at
9
00
a.m
and
changing
the
time
of
the
regular
council
meeting
of
june
23rd
to
9.
00
am
the
june
2nd
proclamation
session
and
the
june
30th
work
session
would
be
canceled
just.
B
I
B
A
I
don't
know,
if
anticipates
the
right
word,
we're
very
hopeful,
we're
we're
monitoring
it
and
if
we
get
we'll
see
how
it
goes
at
the
civic
center
and
and
kind
of
be
why-
and
we
are
truthfully
we're
watching
the
trends
and
the
numbers
and
if
they
continue
flat
and
continue
to
go
down,
I
think
there's
a
good
chance.
We
may
be
back
in
by
june.
K
B
A
B
A
B
B
B
A
B
For
the
next
columbus
golf
course,
authority,
councillors,
huff
and
garrett
are
nominating
mr
richard
l
wright
to
serve
another
term
of
office.
I'm
sorry
councillor
wilson.
We
would
have
to
bring
this
back
for
vote
tabulation
because
councilor
crabb
had
nominated
mr
tommy
nobles.
So
we
will
bring
that
back
at
the
next
meeting
for
vote
tabulation.
B
B
B
B
Next,
we
have
council
appointments,
any
nominations
will
be
listed
for
the
next
meeting
for
the
commission
on
international
relations
and
cultural
liaison
encounters.
We
have
one
vacant
seat,
that's
open
for
nominations
for
the
keith
columbus,
beautiful,
commission,
the
at-large
members.
We
have
larry
derby,
ashley
lee
and
courtney
laughlin
all
three.
A
A
A
A
F
F
It
just
seems
to
be
an
issue
with
number
one.
You
get
a
lot
of
trees
dying,
which
I
questioned.
If
you
know
there
may
be
a
reason
for
that
happening
right
there,
but
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
garbage
and
waste
sitting
up
on
the
corner
at
the
overpass
that
just
something
needs
to
be
done
about
that.
Can
you
have
somebody
go
out
there,
look
into
that
and
make
sure
it's
all
lined
up.
