This

your
city
council,
good.
B
Morning
we
need
to
turn
that
down
a
little
bit.
Thank
you.
I
have
to
get
over
this
shyness.
Maybe
I
can
speak
a
little
louder
but
anyway
good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
march
9th
city
council
meeting
we're
glad
to
have
you
join
us
as
we
conduct
the
city's
business
and
we
are
going
to
go
a
little
bit
out
of
order
today.
Our
pastor,
reggie
williams,
is
in
route
as
as
you
might
is
it
here.
He
is
here
you
drove
fast,
sir.
Please
come
to
the
microphone.
B
C
Gracious
god,
we
turn
to
you,
because
you
are
the
answer
to
all
questions
and
you
are
the
solution
to
all
problems,
and
so
we
we
invoke
your
presence.
Now
we
ask
you
that,
as
these
leaders
meet
in
this
city
as
they
carry
the
burdens
of
on
their
hearts
of
the
of
the
people
in
this
city
that
are
facing
all
kinds
of
issues
that
are
celebrating,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
mourning
crying
and
some
are
filled
with
no
hope.
C
B
Pastor
williams,
thank
you,
sir,
and
please
thank
your
congregation
for
sharing
you
with
us
and
thank
you
for
what
you
do
in
the
community.
I
know
you
and
I
have
had
occasion
to
speak
many
times
and
I
know
you've
been
active
with
charles
flowers
program
and
the
things
that
you
and-
and
he
are
doing,
to
try
to
to
try
to
capture
some
of
these
young
people
before
they
end
up
in
a
situation
that
they
can't
get
themselves
out
of
so
just
wanted
to
publicly
thank
you
for
what
you
do
outside
the
church.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
The
pandemic
certainly
has
given
us
a
challenge
that
we
have
not
in.
We
had
not
anticipated
having
to
deal
with
as
a
community,
and
it
has
helped
fuel
the
fire
for
other
challenges
as
well,
and
it
seems
strange
to
say,
but
the
biggest
pandemic,
that
we
have,
that
we
are
dealing
with
right
now
in
our
community
as
are
so
many
other
communities
throughout
the
country
is
violent
crime
and
we
have.
B
B
So
we
know
there
has
to
be
other
approaches.
We
know
we
have
to
work
to
eradicate
poverty.
We
know
we
have
to
work
to
provide
job
skills.
We
have
to
work
to
keep
kids
in
school.
We
have
to
work
to
mentor
those
who
don't
live
in
a
traditional
family,
there's
so
many
different
initiatives
that
must
be
simultaneously
occurring
in
order
to
really
have
success
at
making
our
community
become
what
we
all
want
it
to
be
one
organization
that
has
been
successful
throughout,
not
just
the
country
but
also
around
the
world.
B
I
think
they're
in
10
different
countries
now
and
they
have
a
track
record
and
we
wanted
you
to
have
a
little
update.
We
have
not
had
there's
been
a
few
individuals
in
our
community
who
have
taken
this
on
as
a
sort
of
a
passionate
mission
to
to
take
a
deeper
look
and
deeper
dive
into
the
cure
violence
initiative
and
determine
if
it's
a
good
fit
for
columbus
georgia.
B
They
again.
The
most
significant
thing
to
me
is
that
it
has
a
track
record.
There
are
a
lot
of
programs
that
come
to
us
and
say
hey.
We
can
do
this.
We
will
do
this,
but
very
very
few
have
been
able
to
come
up
and
say
we
have
done
this.
It
does
work.
It's
worked
in
every
location
that
we've
established
this
type
of
presence
and
and
they're
going
to
do
an
assessment
to
determine
if
the
same
level
of
success
would
be
likely
here
in
columbus
and
I'll
make
a
few
more
comments
about
it.
B
But
right
now
I'd
like
to
ask
reggie
lewis
and
cedric
hill,
I
think
dr
sante
hiltz
might
be
here.
She
has,
if
she's
not
she's,
probably
furiously
working
to
stem
the
spread
of
the
covid
virus.
That's
what
she's
been
accomplishing
for
the
for
the
health
department,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
them.
B
D
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
council
for
allowing
us
to
come
for
you
today
cure
violence.
The
health
epidemic
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
is
a
big
issue
across
the
country
and
across
the
world
myself,
cedric
hill,
dr
asante,
who's,
epidemiologist
hill
who's,
the
epidemiologist
and
as
well
as
cedric
hill
jr
who's.
A
connect
pastor
for
the
last
two
years
have
been
investigating
the
cure
violence
model.
D
D
Part
of
that
process
is
to
go
out
and
identify
those
who
are
at
high
risk
who
have
been
in
gangs,
who've
been
shot
who
were
participating
in
weapons
events
who
are
participating
in
retaliatory
events
and
then
going
out
and
identifying
what
can
we
do
for
them?
And
you
heard
the
mayor
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that's
dealing
with
finding
jobs,
making
sure
they
have
their
ged
to
get
jobs,
but
also
give
them
tools
and
things
that
they
can
use
to
find
a
job
like
working
at
columbus.
D
He
quickly
identified
that
what
they
were
fighting
with
with
violence
was
basically
a
revocation
of
what
he
fought
with
with
the
infectious
disease
and
by
doing
that,
he
started
learning
that
when
you
talk
about
clustering,
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
events
that
we've
had
recently
most
of
our
events
occur
in
certain
areas.
So
that's
the
clustering
part
of
it.
When
you
talk
about
cancer,
road,
south
lunken
road
area
and
some
of
the
south
end
areas,
that
is
where
we
have
the
clustering.
Then
you
talk
about
the
transmission.
D
A
good
example
of
that
is
the
retaliation
part
of
it.
When
we
had
the
young
13-year-old
who
was
killed
by
a
17-year-old
and
that
13-year-old
brother
went
out
trying
to
look
for
the
shooter
and
then
he
was
arrested,
that
was
the
transmission
of
it,
and
then
you
talk
about
the
social
norms,
part
of
it,
where
the
community
basically
accepts
this.
These
events
we
have
to
change
that
norm,
and
that
is
what
the
cure
violence
model
goes
by
and
works
on.
To
try
to
reduce
so
part
of
this
program
is
they
have
an
assessment
that
occurs.
D
D
3193-31906-31907
and
just
to
let
you
know,
I'm
a
former
police
officer
in
columbus
for
10
years,
so
I
understand
what
those
areas
and
how
those
areas
are
impacted.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
look
for
in
that
process,
and
in
that
assessment,
is
we
look
at
those
areas?
The
cure,
violence,
global
unit
does
an
assessment
on
those
areas
that
determine
what
is
needed
in
those
areas.
D
This
is
not
a
one
size
fit
all,
so
31903
may
be
different
than
31906
and
how
we
apply
the
implementation
to
that
area,
and
it's
very
key
that
the
community
is
involved
in
this
this
process,
because
one
thing
we
have
to
do
is
we
have
to
start
it
from
the
ground
up,
simply
because
that's
where
the
problem
is
starting,
so
we
have
people
who
are
in
the
community
that
we
call
interrupters
and
outreach
workers.
We
also
partner
with
the
trauma
centers
in
er,
because
one
of
the
things
we
notice
is
not.
D
Everybody
is
dying,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
victims
that
are
shot
and
when
you
talk
to
some
of
the
people
at
piedmont,
a
lot
of
their
er
visits
are
gunshot
wounds.
So
what
we
have
to
do
is
we
have
to
go
into
these
hospitals
to
help
the
people
understand.
Okay,
you've
been
shot,
but
now
it's
time
for
you
to
get
away
from
that.
What
can
we
do
to
change
that
norm,
that
behavior
and
that's
why
we
identify
the
high
risk?
D
What
we
do
as
far
as
cure
violence
is:
they
have
a
40-hour
training
session
that
we
do
with
anybody
that
is
working
with
the
program,
and
then
we
have
a
yearly
re-evaluation
of
that
person
and
training
as
well.
We
also
keep
up
with
a
database
that
will
identify
certain
events,
like
events
related
to
homicides.
D
So
when
the
anniversary
comes
back
up,
we're
able
to
go
back
out
to
those
same
parties
that
are
involved
to
ensure
that
we
have
no
retaliatory
events,
that
is
the
key
part,
we're
stopping
the
cycle,
we're
stopping
and
spreading,
and
then
we're
taking
those
who
are
at
risk
and
applying
solutions
to
ensure
that
they
no
longer
become
high
risk
and
that
we
lower
their
risk
factors
for
them.
That
is
the
key
part
to
this
process.
Those
are
the
three
core
values.
The
other
thing
is
like.
D
D
So
some
of
the
places
where
the
mayor
was
talking
about
it's
been
in
10
countries
over
100
cities,
they've
used
it
in
baltimore,
chicago
new
orleans
atlanta
in
the
last
two
years,
just
opened
their
first
one
in
georgia
in
the
mechanicsville
area
or
what
they
call
it.
The
mpub
neighborhood
project
unit
that
is
being
started,
that
is
run
by
a
unit
called
chris
180..
D
They
focus
on
childhood
or
what
we
call
adverse
childhood
experiences.
That
is
one
of
the
things
that
where
we
try
to
stop
violence
from
occurring,
because
we
know
that
in
our
children,
58
of
those
of
our
children
are
being
exposed
to
violence
and
trauma
and
30
will
become
perpetrators
at
some
point
of
violence.
D
So
the
next
steps
for
us
is
we're
looking
to
have
cure
violence.
Global
come
down
in
may
to
do
a
two
to
three
month
assessment
and
what
you
will
have
is
we
have
some
documentation
of
car
as
far
as
part
is
what
is
that
assessment
can
entail.
So
the
assessment,
like,
I
said,
is
on-site
visit
for
a
week.
They
look
at
all
the
target
areas.
Then
they
go
back.
We
also
will
provide
them
information
from
hospitals,
because
we
want
to
do
a
cost
basis.
D
Analysis
on
what
does
it
cost
for
an
event
that
occurs
in
in
as
far
as
a
gunshot
or
homicide?
What
does
it
cost?
Because
you
have
to
think
about
there's
an
ambulance
ride,
there's
er
personnel
that
has
that
has
to
take
place.
Then
you
have
the
ongoing
rehabilitation,
part
of
it
that
costs
a
lot
of
money
and
what
they've
seen
on
average
is
probably
an
18
return
on
a
one
dollar
investment
for
the
program
and
they've
seen
that
across
they've
used
it
in
different
areas.
D
D
One
of
the
things
they
will
do
is
they
basically
interview
us
as
well,
because
if
you
do
not
want
to
implement
the
program
and
what
they've
provided
back
from
the
assessment,
they
will
not
allow
you
to
do
it.
As
far
as
on
the
cure
violence
program,
so
they're
very
particular
about
how
this
program
is
run
and
they
want
it
to
be
successful.
They
know
it
works.
D
That
is
still
a
lot,
but
you
have
to
think
in
columbus
right
now
we're
averaging
right
now,
almost
25
murders
or
homicides
per
capita
of
100
000,
where
chicago
and
baltimore
are
in
the
35
to
40
range.
That's
a
big
difference
in
a
city
of
our
size
compared
to
cities
of
their
size
in
baltimore
or
chicago.
D
So
that
is
what
we're
looking
at
doing.
Our
team
is
made
up
of
myself.
Cedric
hill
is
also
made
up
of
two
epidemiologists,
dr
sante
hilts,
that
the
mayor
mentioned
she's
the
program
director
at
the
department
of
health.
We
also
have
cedric
hill
junior
who's,
a
cadet
pastor,
so
we
have
people
from
faith
based
and
we
also
have
ashley
hill
who's.
Another
epidemiologist
that
was
working
up
in
the
university
of
pittsburgh,
which
will
be
coming
down
south
back
to
georgia.
D
D
B
Are
there
any
questions
for
mr
lewis,
it
doesn't
appear
to
be
so,
mr
lewis,
I
appreciate
it.
Mr
mr
hill,
thank
you
and
and
oh
there
are
a
few
that
have
popped
up.
Counselor
thomas.
E
Good
morning
miss
lewis,
as
you
were
talking,
I
was
thinking
about
what
people
always
say
about.
You
have
to
get
them
young.
You
have
to
get
the
kids
young,
and
I
know
that
in
the
muskogee
county
school
district
there
are
a
couple
of
programs
to
help
kids
find
a
job
get
a
profession.
I'm
thinking
about
the
emt
program
at
shaw,
the
college
and
careers
program
at
jordan.
E
Can
you
talk
about
that
at
all?
Are
you
going
to
go
into
the
schools
and
deal
with
some
of
those
kids
and
some
of
those
issues.
D
That
is
one
of
the
channels
that
we
have
to
make
sure
we're
established,
because
we
see
what
is
happening
in
some
of
these
areas
that
some
of
the
kids
are
being
impacted
by
I'll
give
you
example,
we
went
to
fox
elementary.
D
D
We
have
to
do
something
about
that,
because
what
happens
is
they're
unable
to
progress.
It
cause
behavior
issues,
so
programs
like
that
are
what
we're
trying
to
channel.
But
one
thing
we're
trying
to
do
is
bring
all
those
partners
together
to
make
sure
they
understand
how
the
cure
violence
program
works
and
some
of
the
needs
that
we
have.
So
we
are
partnering
with
united
way.
D
F
Thank
you,
mr
lewis.
I
was
reading
a
packet
last
night
and
one
thing
that
stood
out
to
me
was
that
workers
would
assist
participants
in
dealing
with
a
number
of
issues
such
as
education,
employment,
criminal
justice,
mental
health,
alcohol,
drugs
trauma,
reentry
and
related
life
skills
through
the
utilization
of
existing
social
services.
F
When
I
spoke
to
the
mayor
last
night,
I
mentioned
that
we,
this
is
a
good
program.
I
do
agree,
and
we
know
that
we
have
an
issue
and
it's
multifaceted.
It's
not
just
one
thing
and
that's
why
this
stood
out
the
most
to
me.
So
what
I
would
like
to
suggest
is
that,
alongside
of
the
assessment
that
we
or
the
study
that
we
probably
approve,
I
would
like
for
the
next
work
session
in
the
military,
we
used
to
call
it
tiger
teams
so
and
we
call
it
work
session.
F
I
think
we
need
to
bring
the
subject
matter,
expert
experts
to
council
and
that's
cpd,
the
sheriff
parks
and
rec
crime
prevention,
mental
health
and
possibly
cure
violence,
because
we
need
to
look
at.
We
need
to
be
proactive
in
dealing
with
this
in
reference
to
a
mental
health
crisis.
That's
what
I
mentioned
to
you
last
night
and
also
partnering
with,
like
you,
said,
united
way
and
other
organizations,
because
I
don't
think
the
blunt
of
the
responsibility
should
be
on
the
city.
F
I
think
this
is
this
impacts
everyone.
So
everyone
should,
you
know,
kind
of
be
at
the.
B
B
Absolutely
an
investment
and
those
partnerships
that
mr
lewis
is
talking
about
are
already
in
place.
It's
a
matter
of
strengthening
them,
focusing
them
on
some
of
the
areas
that
they're
particularly
interested
in,
but
all
of
the
agencies.
You
mentioned
we're
currently
partnered
with
in
in
trying
to
do
exactly
what
you
mentioned.
The
one
area
that
councilor
tucker
did
bring
to
kind
of
the
forefront
and
she's
right
is
the
mental
health
aspect.
B
I
know
councilor
barnes
has
reached
out
to
has
mentioned
in
the
past
that
he
wanted
us
to
try
to
bring
in
mental
health
experts
to
deal
with
the
covid
issue
and
and
some
of
the
ancillary
problems
that
have
have
kind
of
showed
up
in
emotional
stress
and
mental
illness,
and
these
are
also
some
of
the
I
think,
some
of
the
prompters
and
some
of
the
violence,
whether
it's
you
know,
dependency
on
some
type
of
substance
or
it's.
It
truly
is
a
mental
illness.
B
So
we
we
can
bring
that
in
and
we
can
kind
of
give
a
visual
to
that
to
the
people
who
are
already
involved,
because
I
know
the
sheriff
and
the
and
the
police
chief
have
been
have
been
working
very
diligently
on
on
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
connections
are
made.
Chief
blackman
has
been
discussing
things
with
the
with
chief
chief,
our
from
the
mcsd,
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
contact
with
all
the
folks
that
are
on
the
same
page.
So
we
can
do
that.
F
Yeah
and
the
reason
why
I
bring
this
up
because
I
have
been
researching
it
since
you
know
you
all
spoke
about
it
and
just
overall
period,
because
crime
is
increasing,
it's
definitely
increasing
in
my
district.
You
know
I'm
extremely
hurtful.
It's
people
that
live
blocks
up
from
me
that
I
know
who
have
lost
sons.
F
F
F
F
B
G
And
certainly
mayor
we'll
talk
more
with
councillor
tucker
about
what
she's
looking
for,
because
the
work
session
is
march
30th
we
do
have
a
a
work
session
and
I
kind
of
like
to
have
a
little
bit
more
clarity
on
what
you're
looking
for,
if
we're
going
to
bring
something
forward
at
the
work
session.
G
G
G
But
I
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
the
mayor
and
this
team
and-
and
we
acknowledge
clearly
that
there
is
a
violent
crime
issue-
a
pandemic.
If
you
will
here-
and
I
think
that's
why
you
have
epidemiologists
involved
and-
and
I
am
happy
to
see
that
the
mayor
is
bringing
this
forward
at
this
time,
because
I
said
before,
I
believe-
there's
a
fierce
urgency
of
now
with
this.
This
pandemic,
the
violent
crime
in
our
community.
G
We,
we
are
watching
other
communities,
as
mr
lewis
pointed
out
across
the
united
states,
who
have
already
taken
this
giant
step
in
the
cure.
Violence
direction
to
try
and
get
out
front
lead
the
way
and
take
control
of
what
I'll
refer
to
again
as
a
pandemic,
and
I
heard
mr
lewis
say
that
it's
about
stopping
the
cycle,
it's
about
stopping
the
spread
and
what
he
described
in
this
program
is
certainly
a
strategic
approach
to
it
and
I'm
just
happy
to
see
the
merely
in
a
way.
G
I
think
community
leaders,
business
leaders,
the
citizens
and
you
can-
you-
can
see
even
the
younger
generation
on
social
media
they're,
crying
out
to
city
leadership,
for
the
city
leaders
to
do
something,
they're
looking
for
answers,
they're,
looking
for
solutions
and
they're
looking
for
them
now
and
this
the
mayor
bringing
this
forward
and
what
you're
talking
about
counselor
tucker,
I
believe,
is
responding
to
the
current
situation
and
responding
to
the
call
from
the
community,
business
leaders
and
others
to
do
something
and
do
it
now.
G
I
don't
see
that
we
have
time
to
wait
and-
and
I'm
just
glad
that
the
mayor
has
has
brought
it
forward.
So
thank
you
to
the
committee
and
thank
you
mayor
for
bringing
it
forward.
G
I
I
completely
100
percent
unequivocally
agreed
with
what
this
cure
violence
team,
not
of
city
leaders,
trying
to
do
something,
but
they
are
members
from
our
community
who
are
concerned
about
what's
going
on
and
want
to
do
something
about
it,
and
I
think
it's
an
awesome
team,
cedric
hill
graduated
high
school
with
me
and-
and
I
know
it
very
well
and
reggie-
a
former
police
officer
and
I'm
excited
about
this
team.
So
thank
you
for
coming
forward
in
doing
this.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
I
appreciate
appreciate
you
being
here
today
to
present
this
and
I
look
forward
to
great
things
from
you.
One
thing
that
came
to
mind
when,
when
I
was
looking
through
the
material
last
night,
was
in
the
three
core
values
that
you
talked
about.
Communication
was
a
integral
part
of
that
the
intervention,
the
identification
and
the
influencing
all
involves
communication.
H
I
had
a
really
good
friend
of
mine,
former
police
officer
called
yesterday
and
was
talking
about
trying
to
get
the
children
to
open
up
when
they
see
something,
and
one
thing
he
had
the
idea
he
presented-
and
I
mentioned
this
to
the
mayor
yesterday
and
we
were
talking
about
how
do
we
get
this
in
there?
You
may
already
have
this
as
a
part
of
your
program,
but
his
idea
was
drop
boxes
in
the
schools
to
allow
the
children
to
anonymously.
H
D
Right
that
that
is
one
of
the
key
parts
is
getting
the
community
involved,
which
involves
everybody
from
the
kids
all
the
way
up
to
adults.
There's
we're
looking
at
different
options
to
help
those
young
kids
be
able
to
talk
to
those
things,
because
it's
not
just
dropping
information
about
what
they
saw,
but
also
helping
them
deal
with
some
of
the
things
they've
seen
and
that's
one
of
the
biggest
issues
that
we
have
to
deal
with
is
that
once
again,
I
go
back
to
ace
childhood
experiences,
adverse
childhood
experiences.
D
Those
are
things
that
we
have
to
do.
We
have
to
build.
You
know
a
different
way
to
establish
that
connection,
because
right
now,
honestly,
you
know,
there's
there's
no
trust,
and
I'm
not
just
talking
about
from
a
police
perspective
is,
is
somebody
who
doesn't
look
like
me
or
doesn't
come
from
this
area?
They're
not
going
to
trust
you.
So
we
have
to
establish
that
communication
and
it's
not
something
that
happened
in
one
day.
You
know
as
a
police
officer
back
in
the
90s,
I
was
seeing
some
of
the
same
things.
D
We
have
problems
with
now,
so
we
have
to
break
that
cycle.
We
have
to
get
to
the
kids.
That
is
the
most
important
piece
of
all
of
this
is
if
we
can
get
to
those
that
zero
to
ten
age
range,
we
have
a
good
chance
of
turning
the
ship
around,
because
that's
where
it's
going
to
start,
that's
where
we
predict
protect
them.
D
D
That's
one
of
the
other
biggest
things
that
we're
working
on
now
is:
how
do
we
have
a
support
model
that
once
they
leave
where
we
may
be,
and
they
go
back
to
their
neighborhoods?
How
do
we
continue
to
support
them?
Because
what
we
have
to
understand-
and
what
we
see
in
an
example
of
this
is
the
bridge
program
at
goodwill,
which
is
a
ged
program.
D
We
start
off
with
30
something
participants
and
by
the
graduation
and
after
three
tests,
majority
of
them
have
taken
the
three
tests.
They
have
one
final
test
before
graduation.
We
only
end
up
with
about
four
and
what
we
found
is
throughout
those
15
weeks.
We
see
a
drop-off
and
that
drop-off
comes
because
that
home
life
or
that
support
system
doesn't
support
them
bettering
themselves.
It's
the
same
thing
with
kids.
You
see
young
kids
walking
around,
and
you
know
sometimes
talking
and
with
language
that
most
adults
won't
use.
D
But
we
also
have
to
understand
those
kids
are
seeing
things
that
most
adults
haven't
seen.
You
know
only
police
officers,
ems
or
somebody
in
the
military
have
seen
so
that
is
a
key
component
to
making
this
work
as
well
is
ensuring
that
we
address
the
kids,
provide
them
with
ways
they
can
talk
through
things,
but
also
give
them
ability
to
be
able
to
say
you
know.
I
saw
this.
D
D
It's
working
with
united
way
we're
also
working
with
piedmont
to
to
come
up
with
that
model
that
insists
or
assists
young
kids
and
adults,
but
also
teaching
parents
how
to
parent-
and
I
don't
mean
that
from
you
know,
you
got
to
spank
your
kids,
but
you
got
to
think
about
it.
We
have
a
mother,
that's
45.
She
has
a
30
year
old
daughter
that
has
a
15
year
old
daughter
that
has
a
one-year-old
child
generational
embodiment,
and
this
this
cycle
of
complete
repeating
the
same
thing
hasn't
been
broken.
D
D
We
had
an
ex-con
that
talked
to
us
and
the
first
thing
he
stood
up
and
said
was
I
needed
somebody
to
help
me
through
the
trauma
that
I
had
been
exposed
to,
because
I
didn't
get
any
help
or
I
couldn't
talk
about
it
because
I
was
told
I'm
gonna
be
a
wimp
or
you
know
I'm
I'm
solved.
I
didn't
talk
about
it,
which
led
to
me
committing
violent
crimes,
because
I
didn't
know
how
to
deal
with
it.
D
I
I
think
the
community
is
asking
the
city
the
their
representatives
to
look
at
solutions
to
try
to
deal
with
some
of
the
issues
that
we
have
seen
lately
and
not
only
lately,
but
over
the
over
the
past
years.
Of
course,
crime
has
always
been
something
that
we've
all
had
to
deal
with
over
over
the
course
of
time.
I
notice
that
this
program
is
endorsed
by
the
the
u.s
conference
of
mayors
and
and
several
other
people.
I.
I
You
know,
I
think,
we're
all
you
know
the
sensitivity
of
it
in
the
concern
of
it
is
is
at
the
forefront,
but
I
think
that
it's
important
also
that
we
assure
the
citizens
that
we
can
make
progress,
that
we
actually
have
a
solution
that
we're
doing
something
about
it
and
they
can
see
tangible
results.
At
the
same
time,
I
I
want
to
learn
more
about
the
financial
considerations.
I
don't.
I
don't
think
this
is
just
a
one-time
thing.
It
sounds
like
it's
once.
I
I
don't
understand
that
yet
I'm
still
learning,
but
I
do
think
it's
very
important
that
we
build
that
confidence
that
we
can
say
that
before
we
set
out
on
a
in
in
in
a
direction
that
we
can
really
communicate
that
to
the
to
the
citizens,
because
that's
important
to
them,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
them
that
they
know
that
we're
all
in
this
together
and
it's
a
team
effort
and
that
we're
we're
working
together
and
we're
going
to
you
know
we're
going
to
make
some
we're
going
to
make
some
headway
in
this
and
and
solve
some
of
these
issues
of
concern.
I
So
if,
if
you
can
provide
any
current
updates
in
and
statistical
information,
that
would
look
great.
I
think
that
would
be
great.
I
think
that
would
go
a
long
ways
and
gaining
the
support
of
the
community
and-
and
I
know
ears
are
open.
Now
people
are
listening,
but
there's
probably
going
to
be
questions
as
well,
and
I
would
like
to
be
in
a
position
that
I
can
answer
those
questions
more
accurately
and
and
be
more
informed
about
it.
I
do
plan
when
I
get
home
to
go
online.
I
Look
at
it
a
little
bit
more
get
in
get
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
in
it
and
learn
more
about
it,
and
you've
presented
some
good
things
today
and-
and
I
really
appreciate
that,
so
it's
always
good
to
know
our
community
is
people
are
stepping
up
to
try
to
to
try
to
find
solutions,
and
not
just
anybody
can
talk
about
it.
You
know
but
trying
to
find
solutions
and
making
it
happen
and
then
ensure
that
that
we're
making
progress
is
key
is
key
for
our
community.
So
thank
you
again.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
J
J
Yes,
first
of
all,
mr
hill,
mr
lewis,
thank
you
very
much
for
bringing
the
program.
I've
heard
a
little
bit
about
it
and
I
did
some
research
and
I
think
it's
an
amazing
program.
I'd
like
to
tell
first
to
the
mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
taking
your
leadership
to
see
this
is
so
important
and
give
us
all
a
call
and
tell
us
look
at
this.
This
is
just
another
part.
I
know.
J
J
This
is
my
personal
opinion
and,
based
on
what
you're
saying,
I
think
we're
both
in
the
same
sheet
of
music
going.
You
can
provide
the
recreation,
the
education,
the
job,
the
training,
but
if
you
don't
have
a
mentor
or
someone
you
can
talk
to
it's
gonna
fall
down.
It's
not
gonna
work
because
it's
true,
it's
just
like
in
the
military
anywhere
else.
You
experience
something
you
learn
to
hide
it
and
you
learn
to
hide
it
very
well,
and
it
just
takes
one
thing
to
trigger
that.
To
take
you
back
to
where
you
came
from.
J
So
to
me,
the
mentoring
portion
of
it
is
very,
very
important
with
the
mental
health.
I
have
made
my
little
note
here,
like
isaiah,
something
in
the
parks
and
recreation
why
they
have.
The
activities
probably
have
a
hundred
black
men
to
come
in
some
of
these
sororities
of
males
and
females
that
have
come
like
yourself,
isaiah.
You
came
from
the
project
and
look
at
you
today.
You
know
inspiration
people
for
them
to
look
at
just
not
an
activity,
but
people
they
can
reach
out,
feel
comfortable
and
talk
and
relate
to
to
understand.
J
You
know
I've
been
there
and
done
that
and
wore
that
t-shirt,
so
you
could
wear
it
too.
You
know
to
me
the
mental
health
portion
is
also
very,
very
important
with
the
mentors
there's
household
with
both
you
know,
mother
and
father,
but
yet
the
child
still
doesn't
have
the
basic
man
training
that
they
should
have.
There
are
men
out
here
in
their
30s
and
40s
that
don't
even
know
how
to
tie
a
tie.
J
You
know
we
got
to
remember
too
that
at
one
time
babies
were
having
babies
and
the
generation
that
we're
having
today
and
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
having
today
are
is
that
is
that
air
and
another
one
that
I
think
it's
very
important,
that
we
keep
talking
about
gangs,
but
domestic
violence
is
big
in
columbus.
J
Most
of
our
murders
are
domestic
violence,
it's
a
very,
very
big
issue,
and-
and
that's
one
that
needs
to
be
addressed-
also
just
be
not
just
the
gangs,
because
that
domestic
violence,
as
you
know,
mr
lewis,
and
as
you
know,
mr
hill
and
and
all
the
projects
that
you
work
on
mine,
is
a
powerful
thing
and
if
you
don't
put
it
in
the
right
direction,
it
could
be
a
time
bomb
at
any
moment,
and
people
in
domestic
violence
are
afraid
to
leave
that
area.
So
it's
no
different
than
being
in
a
gang.
J
You
know
I'm
in
this
gang
with
my
husband
or
my
boyfriend
and
that's
very
critical,
and
we
need
to
look
at
that
avenue.
Also,
I'm
very
supported
in
it.
I
would
like
to
get
involved
because
I
like
encouraging
people,
so
I
would
like
to
work
with
you
all,
but
I
would
like
to
work
with
the
young
ladies
to
encourage
the
young
ladies,
that
there
are
things
out
there
better
than
them
being
beaten
by
their
boyfriends
or
being
in
a
gang
to
say,
they're
beautiful.
J
Somebody
asked
me
once
and
I
have
a
habit
of
saying
this,
but
someone
asked
me
once
why
do
you
tell
women
all
the
time?
Hey
beautiful?
You
know,
hey
gorgeous
and
I
learned
through
my
process
in
life
in
public
works
and
things
like
that.
There
are
a
lot
of
women
that
might
look
like
they're,
smiling,
they're
professional
whatever,
but
their
self-esteem
is
low,
because
no
one
takes
the
time
to
tell
them.
You
look
beautiful
today,
you
look
nice,
so
I
like
to
do
that
because
it
makes
you
feel
like
hey
someone
noticed
me.
J
I
am
important
and
I
did
that
unintentionally
and
my
job.
We
were
in
a
survey
and
we
were
in
a
class
and
a
young
lady
in
the
class
said
what
happened
to
you.
That
would
seem
really
different
and
a
lady
said:
well,
there's
this
lady
she's
stranger,
I
don't
even
know
who
she
is
she's
in
this
room,
but
every
time
she
sees
me
in
the
hallway
she
tells
me
I'm
beautiful
and
one
day
I
had
a
big
fight
with
my
husband
and
I
felt
like
I
was
worthless.
J
Nothing
and
just
that
one
word
made
a
big
difference
and
that's
when
I
started
using
it
more
because
I
learned
from
her
that
it
was
you
know
it
was
something
that
we
needed
to
hear
so
to
me.
Mentors
are
very,
very
important
that
that's
just
that
one
little
word
that
one
little
sentence
can
make
such
a
big
difference
in
someone's
life.
That's
it.
D
F
Was
going
to
say
when
I
mentioned
parks
and
rex
I
really
was
talking
about
some
of
the
things
that
we
did
when
I
was
coming
up
and
I
did
it
was
like
an
extension
of
my
family.
I
had
meals
there
we
had
when
I
was
in
high
school.
We
had
the
midnight
basketball
league
and
that
actually
helped,
because
that
was
not
only
extension
of
your
family,
but
those
young
men
who
are
in
the
target
age
that
are
committing
these
crimes
and
they
say
that
18
to
25.
I
think
the
number
one
the
death
is
gun.
F
Violence
due
to
gun
violence.
So
what
midnight
basketball
was
doing
was
people
were
getting
mentored?
You
know
by
these
individuals
on
these
teams.
So
I'm
just
saying
I
support
this,
but
I
also
support
bringing
the
programs
that
were
effective
back
then
a
lot
of
times.
We
say
we
don't
want
to
look
back,
but
we
do
have
to
look
back
what
was
effective
back
at
that
time,
which
was
investing
in
parks
and
rec,
which
was
having
you
know,
midnight,
basketball
and,
and
also
now
we
see
that
we
have
a
mental
health
crisis
in
other
areas.
F
F
D
So
I
kind
of
want
to
address
a
couple
of
things
that
y'all
said
so.
First,
you
councilwoman
tucker.
This
is
just
not,
you
know,
cure
violence
and
we
are
not
partnering.
If
you
look
in
our
presentation
at
the
end,
there's
a
big
picture
so
everything
that
y'all
discussed
and
talked
about.
This
is
the
big
picture,
and
this
includes
all
the
things
y'all
talked
about
the
different
partners
from
behavioral
to
mental,
to
hospitals,
to
recreation.
D
One
of
the
biggest
things
that
I
ask
you
all
to
think
about,
especially
going
back
into
your
district,
is
to
find
those
community-based
organizations,
those
small
organizations,
it's
great-
that
we're
looking
at
it
from
and
from
the
top
we're
looking
at
it
from
the
top.
But,
as
you
said,
we
have
to
empower
their
community
that's
the
basis.
This
is
a
community-based
program,
which
means
we
empower
the
community
to
empower
themselves
and
we
provide
the
resources
and
the
partnership
to
help
them.
Do
that.
D
D
You
can
do
it
as
well
we're
here
to
provide
you
with
resources,
but
we
want
you
to
be
part
of
this
mission.
We
want
you
to
be
the
catalyst
behind
it
because
we
get
them
empowered.
Then
we
can
grow
the
community
because
we
want
to
look
at
economic
development.
We
want
to
ensure
that
they
have.
You
know
safe
public
spaces.
D
So
that's
one
of
the
things
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
understood
that
yes,
we're
tackling
gains,
but
part
of
the
some
of
the
new
implementations
that
are
coming
out
is
also
dealing
with
domestic
violence.
So
we
we're
definitely
looking
at
as
well
and
to
go
back
to
the
cost.
The
assessment
will
provide
that
cost
and
it'll
show
you
what
each
site
works
in
and
what
is
needed.
D
One
of
the
things
you're
right.
We
can't
go
out
and
tell
somebody
well.
This
is
what
it
is
without
understanding,
because
you're
not
going
to
seem
confident
in
saying
that,
as
you
can
see
with
cedric-
and
I
we're
very
passionate
about
it,
but
we've
done
our
research.
We've
looked
it
over.
I've
called
people
in
atlanta
that
actually
work
in
mpv
in
the
mpu
to
understand
how
their
program
works
and
reached
out
to
other
programs
like
down
in
jacksonville
and
savannah.
So
I
understand
we
have
to
do
this
right.
D
The
first
time
we're
only
going
to
have
one
chance
because
the
community
is
looking
at
us
as
saying
okay,
I
want
something
done,
but
what
we
have
to
do
and
a
lot.
What
I
tell
people
at
work
is
you're
asking
me
to
fix
something.
But
I
need
you
to
be
the
part
of
the
solution
and
that's
what
we
have
to
do.
D
We
have
to
ensure
that
the
community
is
part
of
the
solution,
they're
giving
input,
because
if
we
sit
out
here
and
try
to
give
a
solution
and
not
go
into
the
area,
that's
why
we're
having
on-site
visit?
It's
not
to
sit
here
and
then
talk
about
what's
happening
on
the
south
end
or
the
east
end.
It
is,
let's
go
into
the
community,
let's
hear
what
they
have
to
say
and
when
I
say
here
make
sure
we
listen
and
hear
it
and
then
apply
the
appropriate
solutions.
D
My
life
as
a
police
officer
is
going
to
be
very
short
and
that's
what
makes
this
a
a
process
that
we
can
really
make
work,
but
we
have
to
include
all
of
columbus,
not
just
the
council,
not
just
the
mayor,
not
just
the
police
department.
It
has
to
be
all
of
columbus
and
then
that
will
ensure
that
we
can
cure
this
violence.
Absolutely
we've
seen
it
work.
We
know
it
can
work,
but
it
has
to
be
100
buy-in
of
everybody
in
this
community
forward
to
work.
B
Thank
you
reggie,
and
you
know
I'll
tell
you
that
this
is
and
again
everything
that
council
tucker
said
is
absolutely
correct.
This.
This
is
not
something
for
the
city
to
undertake
and
say
all
right.
We've
done.
Let's,
let's
move
on
to
something
else.
This
is
a
part
of
an
overarching
strategy
that
involves
changing
the
culture
in
this
community.
B
It
involves
getting
people
involved,
it
involves
it.
It
involves
the
litter
league,
it
involves
dilapidated
housing,
it
involves
job
creation,
it
involves
generational
poverty,
it
involves
working
within
the
faith-based
organizations
and
the
recreation
centers
to
provide
outlets
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
there's
a
pastor
that
actually
has
an
outreach
program
right
now,
that
is
geared
for
the
kids
that
mr
lewis
just
identified.
That
may
not
want
to
go
out
there
they
might
couldn't.
B
They
might
not
be
able
to
dribble
a
basketball
if
you
gave
them
all
day
to
figure
it
out,
but
they
might
be
killers
on
ps2
or
some
of
these
gaming
and
they've
they've
got
a
gaming
outreach
for
young
people
to
try
to
get
them
together
and
try
to
get
them
off
the
streets
and
do
things
so.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
different
approaches.
B
One
of
the
things
councilor
davis
is
next
hang
on.
I
No,
I
just
you
know.
I
saw
some
very
interesting
charts
put
up
here,
mr
city
manager.
Could
you
make
sure
that
could
we
get
some
of
this
information
sent
to
us
some
of
these
charts
and
stuff
that
just
came
up
on
the
screens?
I
I
I
couldn't
see
the
one
that
was
just
up,
but
it
sure
looked
intriguing
and
I'm
if
you
can
get
that
to
us.
That
would
be
great.
I
B
You
we'll
do
it
and
what?
What
I'd
like
to
ask
council
to
do?
You've
heard
you've
heard
these
gentlemen
talk
about
an
assessment
in
order
to
perform
the
assessment,
it
costs
25
000,
and
today
I'm
asking
council
to
to
consider
appropriating
that
25
thousand
dollars
so
that
we
can
get
the
assessment
done
so
that
we
bring
them
in.
Let
them
look
at
the
different
areas
and
tell
us
either.
B
E
B
I
I
That
can
really
make
a
difference
and
I
think
it's
worth
exploring
and
looking
at
it
and
and
seeing
some
of
the
some
of
the
avenues
that
we
could
potentially
take,
and
I
I
think
that's
just
a
small
amount
of
money
to
to
hedge
making
a
a
big
difference
in
our
community.
So
I
I
will
support
mayor.
I
got
confidence
in
you
that
that
we're
doing
the
right
thing,
so
I'm
I'm
fine
with
it.
B
B
E
E
25
000,
as
you
said,
is
a
small
amount,
but
if
it
if
the
results
come
back,
as
I
think
they
will
after
you've
taken
a
look
at
this
it
it's
going
to
be
that
we're
going
to
need
to
put
more
money
into
this
and
mr
hill.
I
was
thinking
about
when
the
next
program
is
available
at
the
rotary
club,
so
that
you
guys
can
come
to
rotary
and
talk
about
what
we're
doing
you
can
go
to
kiwanis
and
talk
about
what
we're
doing.
E
B
I
Well
and
if
any
further
discussion,
if
I
may
to
that
point,
I
think
that's
what
I
was
stating
earlier
is
that
I
want
to
understand
a
little
bit
better.
If
that's
the
direction
we're
going.
Maybe
some
of
you
know
a
little
bit
more
than
I
do
right
now,
but
if
that's
the
direction
we're
going,
I
think
building
the
confidence
of
the
community,
like
you
said,
is
key
because
they
want
to
see
the
results
and
especially
when
you're
asking
for
money
out
of
someone's
pocketbook.
I
B
All
right,
thank
you,
sir.
Any
further
discussion.
All
in
favor,
please
say
aye
anybody
opposed
say.
No,
all
right
that
passes
and
now
to
what
counselor
tucker
was
councillor.
Thomas
was
saying.
I
do
have
a
second
ask,
and
that
is
not
for
the
expending
of
any
money
right
now,
but
it
is
for
this
council
to
make
a
statement
to
the
community
that
we
are
focused
on
changing
the
culture
making
it
safer
for
our
public
safety
individuals
out
there,
as
well
as
the
young
people
that
are
walking
around
our
our
community.
B
So
I'm
also
going
to
ask
council
to
identify
and
appropriate
up
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
is
the
maximum.
I
think
it
could
cost
for
one
year
of
supporting
the
program
out
of
the
same
source
that
counselor
thomas
had
indicated
that
money
will
not
be
expended,
but
that
money
will
be
a
statement
set
aside
so
that
in
the
event
the
assessment
comes
back
positive.
We
come
back
to
this
council,
share
the
assessment
and
then
ask
for
that
five
hundred
thousand.
We
will
then
expend
it
right.
B
So
there's
a
motion
by
counselor
tucker
and
a
second
by
councillor
woodson.
Any
discussion
to
the
motion
and
again
this
money
would
not
be
expended.
It's
just
identifying
the
the
resources
so
that
the
cure
violence
executive
team
when
they
come
in,
knows
that
this
community
is
serious
about
trying
to
make
a
difference
in
our
our
the
safety
level
of
this
company.
This
community,
any.
B
We'll
go
ahead
and
appropriate.
It
now
we'll
identify
those
funds,
we'll
sort
of
embargo,
those
funds
until
such
time
as
we
bring
it
back
to
council-
and
it
is,
it
is
completely
approved,
but
it
we
we
have.
We
we
have
the
funds
in
in
our
in
our
reserve
funds
and
it
it
actually
equals
one
day
of
of
reserve
fund
balance
and
it
won't
be
spent
until
we
bring
back
the
details
of
the
assessment
and
get
the
approval
of
council.
B
So,
depending
on
when
that
comes
out.
If
it
doesn't
come
out
until
june
or
july,
then
it
would
come
out
of
the
fy
22
budget.
But
if
we-
and
I
don't
think
the
assessment
team
will
be
here
for
at
least
three
or
four
weeks-
and
I
don't
know
how
long
it
takes
for
them
to
take
the
data
back
and
and
then
come
back
and
make
the
presentation
it's
two
to
three
months,
two
to.
D
Three
months
it
can
be
up
to
three
months
as
far
as
assessment
in
your
package,
you'll
see
the
different
meetings
that
will
take
place,
which
will
address
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
you
have.
As
far
as
there
is
an
official
review
meeting
that
will
include
you
know
the
city,
council
law
enforcement,
everything
else,
and
then
you
have
separate
committees
and
separate
meetings
for
partners
and
the
briefings
for
workers
and
all
that,
so
they
have
it
all
broken
down.
B
And
as
we
work
through
the
first
three
years,
which
is
what
it
requires
for
the
pilot
to
be
successful,
if
you
think
back
to
city
manager,
likened
it
to
home
for
good.
If
you
look
back
at
the
creation
of
whitewater,
if
you
look
back
at
the
mercer
initiative,
when
we
had
to
raise
private
funds
in
every
instance,
our
we
know
what
a
tremendous
public,
a
private
partnership
we
have
in
this
community
now
the
private
sector
steps
up.
B
G
And
miss
mayor,
if
I,
if
I
may-
yes,
sir,
I
think
you
just
said
it
well
and-
and
I
did
use
home
for
good
as
an
example
when,
when
we
had
a
team,
much
like
this
team
and-
and
I
can
tell
you-
it
was
rick
mcknight
and
lynn
williams
from
the
housing
authority
and
a
few
others.
K
G
E
G
G
It
I
I
feel
like
something
is
going
to
get
done.
I
I
feel
clear
in
my
mind
that
we
are
going
to
get
a
return
on
our
investment
just
like
we
did
with
home
for
good.
We
are
getting
the
return
on
the
investment,
so
certainly
I
I
hope
we'll
make
that
statement
today,
that
they
can
go
out
and
fundraise
and
do
the
things
that
they're
doing
that
it
will
eventually
move
from
government
to
501c3
and
we've
got
an
awesome
team
here
to
make
that
happen.
Well,.
B
And-
and
I
want
to
make
one
more
statement
for
councillor
council
tucker,
but
mr
seth
brown
is
here-
he's
the
director
of
our
crime,
prevention,
division
and
and
one
of
the
things
that,
of
course,
the
the
organizational
structure
will
be
largely
determined
by
the
assessment.
B
But
one
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
with
the
team
about
is
that
mr
brown
would
be
kept
in
the
loop
so
that
this
council
is
kept
in
the
loop.
So
any
information
about
successes
about
challenges
about
hires
about
anything,
mr
brown
would
be
much
as
he
is
with
his
crime
prevention
board.
They
don't
report
to
him
by
any
means,
but
they
send
reports
to
him
so
that
it
keeps
you
involved
and
informed.
So,
mr.
L
America,
I
wanted
to
say
that
some
of
you
are
already
familiar
with
this
program
because
it
was
brought
here
eight
years
ago.
The
reason
it
was
not
funded
or
utilized
eight
years
ago
was.
We
did
not
have
the
problem
we
do
today
and
around
50
of
our
violent
acts,
as
council
woodson
said,
was
domestic
violence
today,
it's
not
as
high
as
that.
It
is
more,
unfortunately,
black
on
black
crime,
young
men
that
we're
seeing
that
are
hurting
each
other,
and
this
program
is
specifically
designed
to
deal
with
that.
L
We
don't
have
anybody
that
has
stepped
up
to
the
table
that
deals
with
this
level
of
violence
and,
frankly,
because
it's
a
little
scary,
you
have
to
have
very
qualified
individuals
to
do
this
and
what
I
would
say
is
there's
a
lot
of
misconceptions
around
cure
violence:
it's
not
a
team
that
comes
in
from
some
large
city
and
runs
this
program
and
kind
of
invades,
columbus,
georgia,
it's
almost
like
a
train,
the
trainer
program
and
and
they
will
employ
or
activate
people
within
our
community.
L
That
know
the
gangs
that
know
the
drugs
that
were
former
drug
dealers,
former
gang
members
that
can
have
an
impact
these
guys
want
to
help.
They
just
don't
know
how
to
help.
I
get
calls
all
the
time
from
former
gang
members
that
want
to
find
a
way
to
implement
themselves
into
the
community,
but
they're
not
quite
sure
how
to
do
it.
L
The
time
is
right.
Now
it
was
not
right.
Eight
years
ago
we
didn't
have
the
level
of
violence
that
we
have
today.
As
far
as
the
gang
violence
goes.
Yes,
we
had
murders
and
we
have
the
numbers,
but
it's
a
different
kind
of
violence
that
we're
seeing
right
now.
So
I
would
say
that
mayor
we've
done
our
homework
on
this
eight
years
ago.
We've
done
it
even
since,
but
it
was
not
the
right
time
then,
but
it
is
now.
I
think,
and
the
other
thing
is
we
didn't,
have
anybody
to
implement
it.
L
Nobody
would
step
up
and
take
on
this
program.
Eight
years
ago
we
even
looked
into
the
community
and
there
really
wasn't
anybody
that
could
do
it.
I
was
ecstatic
when
reggie
contacted
me.
Almost
a
year
ago,
probably
they've
been
working
on
it
for
a
while,
and
I
knew
that
if
anybody
could
do
it,
it
was
this
group.
So
you
know
our
office
doesn't
implement
the
programs.
We
help,
facilitate
and
and
get
those
programs
forward,
and
we
read
the
reports.
I
couldn't
run
this
by
myself.
B
F
Mr
lewis,
are
you
all
still
having
the
meetings
on
monday
evening
or
afternoon
are
y'all.
D
Still
having
meetings
so
what
we
do
is
we
have
a
monday
meeting
for
anybody
who
wants
to
learn
about
the
program.
We
usually
do
it
around
four
o'clock
and
we
just
set
it
up
either
by
web
exercise
when
we
have
people
request
it.
So,
yes,
that's
every
monday
and
then
wednesday
mornings
at
7.
We
have
a
team
meeting
every
wednesday
morning
at
7
00
a.m.
To
kind
of
do
our
planning
sessions.
F
Okay,
would
it
be
possible
to
set
up
one
for
next
monday?
You
know
for
some
of
the
counselors.
That
may
not
know,
because
the
first
time
I
found
out
about
the
program
was
through
turnaround
columbus
with
mr
buckner,
when
we
did
the
breaking
bread.
So
that's
why
I
said
I've
always
supported
the
you
know
what
what
you're
doing,
but
I
know
some
of
the
counselors
might
not
know
exactly
what
the
program
is.
D
B
D
Right
well,
gentlemen,
thank
you.
Yes,
one
more
thing
and
what
seth
was
talking
about
is
like
I
said
there
is
yearly
training.
We
keep
up
with
databases,
so
this
is
a
business.
We
run
it
as
such
and
we
are
under
the
health
department
as
well
partnering
with
them,
because
there
are
so
many
different
cdc
grants
and
information
out
there
dealing
with
ace
when
you
talk
about
adverse
childhood
experiences,
there's
a
lot
of
focus
on
that
right
now
in
the
the
health
department
realm.
D
So
the
reason
why
we
are
partnering
with
the
health
department
as
well
is
because
they
coordinate
and
already
implement
solutions
like
that.
So
we're
looking
at
all
aspects
and
trying
to
run
this
as
a
as
a
true
business
and
make
sure
we,
you
know
recover
p,
l,
even
kind
of
cost
analysis
and
all
that
stuff.
So
that's
part
of
that
process
as
well.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
sir.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
councillor
davis,
to
the
motion.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
I
kind
of
you
know,
I'm
listening
to
everybody
around
the
table.
Like
I
said
earlier,
when
I
the
first
statement,
I
made
that
I'm
learning
I'm
all
ears
and
I'm
somewhat
blind.
I
just
have
to
admit
I'm
not
up
to
date
on
this
and
and
I
think
that's
okay.
To
be.
To
be
honest,
I
also
being
a
businessman
I
like
to
have
things
in
order.
I
I
like
to
understand
what
I'm
approving,
what
I'm
committing
to
what
I'm
hearing
just
so
I
understand
is
that
we're
we're
approving
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
assessment,
which
I
don't
I
don't
have
a
problem.
I
think
understanding
it
is
the
right
thing
to
do
and
then
that
we're
somewhat
making
a
commitment
of
a
half
a
million
dollars
that
we're
going
to
put
aside
for
potentially
future
use.
I
I
mean
that's
what
I'm
hearing
that,
as
we
start
looking
at
this
assessment
and
we
start
looking
and
understand
the
programs
and
how
it
fits
our
community
and
how
we
want
to
implement
in
our
community.
The
funds
could
be
there
to
utilize,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we're
making
a
decision
to
utilize
them
today,
and
I
think
that's
what
I'm
understand.
I
think
that's
what
I
heard
city
manager
just
say:
miss
city
manager.
Your
your
explanation
was
really
good,
that
that
helped
sell
me
some
for
and
I
use
that
term
kind
of
lightly.
I
But
I
I
am
somewhat
uncomfortable,
not
really
you
know,
like
I
said
I
think
some
of
the
members
accounts
are
a
little
far
a
little
further
ahead
than
I
am,
and-
and
I
just
got
this
information
this
past
week
matter
of
fact
in
the
last
couple
of
days,
so
I'm
catching
up-
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable
in
that
sense,
as
is
being
able
to
put
a
put
a
vote
on
it.
I
But
what
I'm
listening
to
today
is
that
we're
committing
to
move
forward,
to
make
a
difference,
to
try
to
leverage
that
out
in
the
community
the
financial
consideration
side
of
it
and
at
the
same
time
build
that
plan
and
as
we
get
to
that
point,
we'll
deem
it
appropriately
if
we
need
to
utilize
funds.
I
also
like
what
the
crime
prevention
director
said
that
you
know
this
has
been
worked
on.
I
I
don't
remember
this
being
worked
on
many
years
ago,
but
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
people
are
really
have
been
doing
their
homework
and
understand
that
it
can
be
implemented.
I'm
willing
to
give
that
a
chance,
but
you
know
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
right
thing
with
the
with
the
funding
request.
I
So
from
that
understanding,
I
guess
is
that
what
I'm
hearing
that's
correct,
yeah
that
I
will
I
will
support
you,
mr
mayor,
the
city
manager
in
and
moving
in
the
right
direction
to
see
if
we
can.
Thank
you,
sir,
make
a
difference
in
the
community.
B
D
B
Would
ask
for
you
to
please
consider
the
minutes
of
february
23rd
meeting
and
I'd
accept
a
motion
motion
by
the
mayor
pro
tim
second
by
councilor
woodson,
to
approve
the
minutes
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
No,
they
are
approved
and
I
do
want.
We
normally
give
a
short
covet
update
in
lieu
of
that.
B
I
truthfully
is
is
significant,
a
challenge
as
as
covet
19
is
and
and
trying
to
get
vaccinations
in
almost
200
000
people
around
columbus,
the
most
pressing
issue
in
our
community
right
now,
I
think,
has
to
be
the
violent
crime.
So
please
forgive
me
for
moving
that
up
on
the
agenda
and
dealing
with
that
first.
So
we
are
glad
you
guys
are
here
chance.
M
Thank
you
mayor.
It's
a
privilege
to
be
here
today.
As
you
know,
from
communication
we've
had
recently,
we've
had
some
very
good
news
in
the
columbus
area
for
one
we've
had
clinics
that
have
been
very
successful
at
the
civic
center
that,
coupled
with
several
clinics,
we've
done
with
dph,
and
we
continue
to
do
those
we
scheduled
six
more
yesterday
for
smaller
areas
out
in
the
community
and
for
a
lot
of
the
direction
from
the
mayor
trying
to
get
it
out
into
areas
like
some
of
the
schools
and
recreation
areas.
Today,
I'm
privileged
to
have.
M
Obviously,
I
have
chief
scarpa
here
with
me
from
columbus
fire
and
ems,
but
also
have
three
members
from
jima.
They
are
already
on
site
at
the
civic
center
they're
already
setting
up
and
they
will
be
on
site
until
the
clinics
are
finished
about
13
weeks
or
so
from
today.
We're
excited
that
to
have
this
type
of
organization,
this
type
of
event
coming
to
columbus.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
cities
and
counties
across
the
state
that
would
love
to
have
this
opportunity.
M
We
we
have
heard
the
messages
from
people
that
have
that
have
signed
on
to
dph.
Trying
to
get
an
appointment,
have
not
been
able
to
we've
heard
great
feedback
from
those
that
have.
We
feel
that,
with
having
jima
in
town
and
running
these
clinics
at
the
civic
center,
it's
going
to
be
great.
We
met
with
them
on
site.
M
Last
thursday,
they
brought
in
two
helicopters
full
of
team
members
to
to
meet
on
site,
to
look
at
the
layout
they're,
going
to
use
a
layout
very
similar
to
what
we
used
in
the
previous
clinics
because
it
worked,
we
had
very
good
feedback
and
they
felt
that
it
was
going
to
work
as
well.
We
feel
this
clinic
will
be
likely
be
one
of
the
larger
clinics
in
the
state
of
georgia
and
we're
just
excited.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
jason
is
a
the
regional
coordinator
from
gma.
M
N
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
here.
We
are
we're
excited
to
be
in
columbus.
I
have
spent
the
last
six
years
as
the
area
four
field
coordinator
for
the
georgia
emergency
management
agency.
I
live
in
lagrange,
so
not
too
far
away
frequent
columbus
a
lot
with
my
family
but
mayor.
Thank
you
and
council.
Thank
you
for
for
having
us
here
in
columbus
and
hosting
us
that
we
are
your
guests
until
mid-summer
and
are
happy
to
be
here.
N
Chief
scarpa.
Thank
you
so
much
chance,
corbett
for
all
of
your
support
that
you've
given
us
and
to
my
new
best
friend
in
columbus,
rob
landers
at
the
civic
center,
rob
and
and
brian
and
his
team
have
been
outstanding
to
us
already
and
we've
only
been
here
a
few
days
and
so
so
thankful
to
be
hosting
a
site
here
in
columbus.
I've
spent
the
last
month
or
so
over
in
macon
georgia
doing
the
same
thing
and
we've
been
very
successful.
N
We
are
not
doing
this
alone.
Jima
is
a
coordinating
agency.
We
work
under
the
office
of
the
governor
and
we
we
have
some
special
folks
that
are
helping
us.
The
georgia
dod
the
army
national
guard
and
specifically,
will
be
here
on
site
with
us
in
columbus
about
45
members
of
the
army.
N
National
guard
fema
will
have
a
a
slew
of
people
here,
helping
us
with
registration
and
then
our
private
contracting
nurses,
who
are
here
that
will
be
helping
in
association
with
other
state
agencies,
the
georgia
department
of
transportation,
georgia,
forestry,
commission
believe
it
or
not,
and
so
many
others
who
are
stepping
up
to
help
us
the
columbus
mvs.
I
use
the
term.
The
acronym
mvs
mass
vaccination
site
is
one
of
nine
in
georgia
authorized
by
the
governor.
N
We
started
off
with
four
and
ran
those
for
a
few
weeks
and
now
we're
starting
off
with
five
more
to
to
place
these
mass
vaccination
sites
strategically
in
the
state
of
georgia,
so
that
we
can
get
the
most
shots
in
the
most
are
most
arms
possible.
N
Just
a
little
bit
of
information.
You
have
a
faq
sheet
in
front
of
you,
council,
my
deputy
site
director,
edwin
whitworth,
will
go
over
that
here
in
just
a
few
minutes,
but
just
to
give
you
an
idea,
try
to
answer
some
questions
off
the
bat
for
you.
We
will
start
putting
shots
in
arms
on
the
17th
of
march
next
wednesday
and
we
will
start
off
at
about
1100
a
day
five
days
a
week
monday.
Through
friday
we
will
do
1100,
vaccines
or
or
we
will
make
available,
1100
vaccines
a
day.
N
We
will
do
that
for
about
three
weeks
and
then
we're
going
to
bump
up
to
2000
a
day
we'll
do
that
for
a
while
and
see
how
that
goes,
and
if
chance
and
chief
scarpa
have
their
way
we'll
bump
up
to
3
000,
and
I'm
perfectly
okay
with
that.
But
definitely
in
the
plan
is
for
us
to
start
off
at
1100
or
so
a
day
and
then
strategically
move
to
around
2000
a
day.
N
N
Would
be
where
you
would
go
to
register,
and
let
me
say
this
that
anyone
can
register
anyone
can
register
on
this
site.
However,
you
will
not
be
afforded
an
appointment
unless
you
fall
into
the
category.
The
phase
that
the
governor
has
listed
out
right
now,
which
is
phase
1a
plus
it
includes
health
care
workers.
It
includes
long-term
care
facility,
patients
and
staff.
N
I'm
going
to
have
edwin
come
up
and
go
over
the
faq
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
and
ed
want
to
give
you
some
information
on
how
we're
going
to
get
this
word
out
to
two
folks
and
how
the
operation
will
go
and
then
we'll
be
available
for
any
questions.
O
O
What
I
want
to
talk
about
today
is
a
fm
radio
station,
we're
setting
up
at
the
civic
center.
In
fact
rob
landers
and
his
team
has
actually
already
got
a
transmitter
on
site.
We
are
going
to
be
working
to
install
a
permanent
antenna
and
feline,
so
we
can
broadcast
a
message.
It
will
be
a
scripted
message
that
we're
using
across
all
the
other
vaccination
sites.
We've
had
very
good
success
with
this
message.
O
It
will
be
some
of
the
do's.
Some
of
the
don'ts
we're
also
putting
this
message
up
on
billboards
around,
so
people
can
know
as
they
drive
by
that
they
can
go
to
myvaccinegeorgia.com
to
register,
as
well
as
when
they're
listening
to
the
message.
There'll
be
some
other
instructions
as
to
when
you're
in
line
some
of
the
do
some
of
the
don'ts.
O
To
okay,
we're
going
to
leave
that
antenna
there
for
some
future
use.
Hopefully
I
know
there's
been
doing
some
movie
screens
there
at
the
civic
center,
so
hopefully
that'll
be
for
you
all
to
use
in
the
future
you're
going
to
be
coming
in.
There's
only
going
to
be
one
way
in
and
that's
going
to
be
off
the
lumpkin
boulevard,
1
lumpkin
boulevard,
and
you
will
need
a
qr
code
and
or
a
phone
number
to
to
once
you
get
on
site
to
make
sure
that
you
have
an
appointment.
J
J
Detour,
we
put
these
big
signs
out.
That
has
a
message
we'll
be
be
able
to
have
those
like
nearby
or
in
the
community
where
people
driving
by
can
see
where
it
says,
go
to
my
myvacationgeorgia.com
and
register
for
a
shot,
and
it
could
tell
who
who
qualifies
at
this
time
so
that
can
also
help
get
the
information
out
to
the
community.
J
I'm
just
thinking
it's
important.
If
we
did
that,
if
we
put
it
out
through
certain
parts
of
the
city,
then
people
will
get
that
information,
because,
unfortunately,
with
media
and
everything
we
do,
there's
still
people
that
fall
through
the
loop
that
don't
know
about
it.
But
if
you're
driving
and
you
see
it-
you
know
it
will
remind
you,
hey,
I
want
to
go,
get
a
vaccination.
Let
me
go
register,
you.
G
J
Okay,
thank
you
appreciate
it.
It's
just
to
get
the
word
out.
You
know
more
out
there
and
I
don't
know
if
we
need
more
and
maybe
d.o.t
will
help
us
out,
but
we
need
to
get
the
message
out
because
there's
people
that
will
call
me
and
say
hey.
I
want
to
get
a
vaccine.
Where
do
I
go
hey
you
know,
so
it's
very
important
that
we
get
the
word
out
to
say:
hey.
It's
here
come
on
now.
J
G
To
communicate
that
as
well.
N
Ma'am
just
so
you
know
also,
we
have
an
external
affairs
team
within
jima
who
will
be
downrange
with
us
here
in
columbus
for
the
first
week.
They
will
be
talking
directly
with
your
public
affairs
folks
here
in
the
city,
also
with
rob's
public
affairs.
Folks,
we've
already
setting
up
meetings
for
that
to
make
sure
that
messaging
gets
out
to
the
public
any
any
miscommunication
that
happens.
We'll
have
people
on
site
to
handle
that,
in
conjunction
with
with
your
people,
who
are
also
here.
J
Can
we
somehow
isaiah,
I'm
not
sure
or
female
somehow?
Can
we
get
it
to
like
the
minister
of
alliance
or
other
organizations
of
ministers
that
they
can
they
can
in
their
prayer,
put
they
can
announce
it
to
their
congregation
that
this
is
available
to
them?
I'm,
and
and
thank
you
for
jim
on
everyone,
I'm
just
thinking
you
know
as
an
ordinary
citizen.
J
M
Just
a
couple
other
points,
real
quick:
if
you
will
we,
we
have
been
doing
a
lot
with
the
media
lately.
In
fact,
I
was
on
the
podcast
wrbl
yesterday
with
with
the
mayor,
and
we
did
a
couple
of
interviews
the
other
day.
So
any
way
we
can
get
the
word
out
we'll
be
glad
to
do
that
and
and
present
any
time
that
anyone
is
is
willing
to
listen
to
us.
We
want
to
get
the
word
out
as
much
as
we
can.
M
I
mentioned
earlier
the
sites
that
we
were
looking
at
the
mayor's
been
adamant
about
getting
out
in
the
community.
We
are
looking
at
sites
at
spencer,
high
school
carver
high
school.
The
second
shot
for
the
large
clinic
that
we
did
at
the
civic
center
is
already
getting
scheduled.
Obviously
those
are
registration
for
the
second
shot,
but
it's
being
scheduled
at
peachtree
mall
we're
getting
out
we'll
be
at
shirley
winston
again
for
a
large
clinic,
so
we're
not
just
solely
relying
on
the
genocide.
M
B
We
can
so
if
we
have
a
pop-up
clinic
with
some
of
the
vaccines-
and
I
want
to
make
it
clear-
and
I
know
mr
corbett
will
back
me
on
this-
dph
and
the
hospitals
continue
to
try
to
get
a
vaccine,
so
we're
so
grateful
for
jason
and
the
and
the
guys
from
gma
being
down
here,
setting
this
up
to
do
a
mass
effort.
But
we
also
understand
that
they're
going
to
be
some
pockets
where
folks
have
transportation
issues.
B
So
we're
going
to
try
to
deal
with
those
as
well
through
that
automated
information
system
and
we
are
looking
into
the
possibility
of
setting
up
a
call
center
that
will
not
only
receive
calls
for
from
people
who
may
not
be
internet,
savvy
or
comfortable,
registering
to
a
portal
we'll
be
able
to
have
people
there
that
just
takes
their
information
enters.
It
tells
them
when
to
show
up
so
we're
trying
to
think
of
every
avenue.
E
M
This
is
being
advertised
as
georgia
residents
only
according
to
the
sources
from
jima
they're
not
going
to
turn
people
away.
The
the
the
goal
is
to
get
shots
at
arms,
but
it
is
a
georgia
program,
so
we
are
obviously
we
we
believe
our
neighbors
in
in
so
many
ways
or
you
know
they
come
to
our
town.
They
they're
shopping
here
there.
A
lot
of
them
are
working
here,
the
region
I
stance
was
from
the
beginning.
M
If
they
were
working
here,
they
could
get
a
shot
here,
so
that
was
that
was
going
on
pretty
you
know
throughout
the
process
anyway.
So
when
you
go
to
the
myvaccinegeorgia.com,
the
first
thing
it
asks
you
is
what
county
of
residence
you're
in
and
it
is
only
georgia
counties.
So
there
is
some
limitation
there,
but
so
I'm
trying
to
tread
lightly
on
the
answer
to
that,
I
guess
is
from
what
I've
been.
M
Yes,
ma'am
from
what
I've
been
told
with
gma,
they
want
shots
in
arms.
They
want
as
many
people
as
they
can
to
get
vaccinated
those
people
in
our
community
just
like
we're
in
their
community.
So-
and
I
say
that
because
I
live
in
phoenix
city
outside
phoenix
city,
so
I'm
kind
of
on
both
sides.
So
it
is.
It
is
something
that
we
we
do
believe
there
will
be
the
ability
to
help
our
neighbors
through
this
process.
M
Our
announcement
is,
as
the
announcement's
been
from
gma
and
the
governor.
This
is
a
georgia
program
through
gma
and
when
you
sign
up
it
leans
you
towards
picking
the
county
you
live
in
in
georgia,
so
I
guess
I
hope
I
can
have
a
better
answer
to
that
in
the
future.
I
don't
know
that
I
have
the
exact
answer.
I
don't
want
to
burn
my
relations
with
jim
standing
up
here
and
announcing
something
shouldn't
be
announced
and
they're
saying
and
come
on
over.
M
M
We
are
going
to
be
helping
them.
They
have
really
stepped
up
and
really
helping
themselves
a
lot
with
tracy
and
dr
lewis,
but
we
have
two
that
are
scheduled
that
will
be
taking
care
of
all
of
their
staff
and
the
educators
and
working
with
dph
and
and
chief
scarpa,
sending
fire
medics
and
and
folks
in
an
ambulance
to
help
vaccinate
that
as
well.
So
we
are
very
encouraged
knowing
we're
going
to
get
our
school
folks
vaccinated
within
the
next
few
weeks.
M
J
Yes,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
clear
on
your
answer
back,
so
I
don't
mean
to
be
rude
but
anyway,
so
the
priority
is
georgia.
J
Came
from
alabama,
you
would
from
phoenix
city,
you
would
vaccinate,
you
would
do
the
vexation
correct.
M
M
Yes,
ma'am.
I
believe
that
is
true,
but
again
I
may
need
to
check
on
that
a
little
bit.
I'm
gonna,
let
jason
point,
take
a
point
on
the
the
the
question.
The
first
question
you
had
just
to
make
sure
we
answer
it
right.
N
Yes,
ma'am
and
thank
you
for
the
question
there
from
an
operational
objective.
My
objective
is
to
get
shots
in
arms.
That's
my
directive.
From
from
my
boss
and
from
the
governor
when
we're
given
1100
shots
a
day
with
20
nurses,
it
would
cost
me
a
lot
more
time
to
pull
someone
out
of
the
line
than
it
would
to
give
them
a
much-needed
vaccine,
and
my
objective
is
to
put
vaccine
in
arms,
and
so
I
will
make
sure
that
every
effort
is
done
if
they
have
an
appointment.
J
My
only
concern
the
reason
why
I
say
that
my
only
concern
is,
if
we're
we're
here
to
vaccine
georgia,
and
we
get
a
you
know,
lots
of
people
from
alabama.
Then
the
georgians
don't
get
it.
That's
my
only
concern,
but
I
agree
with
you:
if
someone's
in
line
is
fine,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
it's
even
it
doesn't
go
one
way
more
than
another,
because
when
people
hear
vaccine
they're
gonna
come
you
know,
and
we
gotta
make
sure
that
the
people
in
georgia
did
get
theirs
and
I'm
not
trying
to
be
ugly.
J
I'm
just
and
being
honest
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
have
that
opportunity
to
give
get
vaccinated,
and
if
that
situation
happened,
then
let
it
be
verse
first
of
the
other
way
off,
so
that
if
they
go
over
there
to
phoenix
city,
they
can,
I
believe,
in
the
tri-city
community
always
have,
but
right
now
with
the
vaccination
and
so
many
people,
elderly
needing
and
people
with
health
issues.
N
Yes,
ma'am,
it
is
a
unique
situation
in
columbus
and
I
live
in
lagrange.
So
I
understand
the
same
situation.
Our
website
is
myvacinegeorgia.com
and
there
are
counties
that
you
would
pick
for
residency
once
you're
in
there
again.
However,
my
goal
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
to
get
1100
shots
and
1100
arms,
and
that's
that's
what
we
will
make
sure
happens
here.
Okay,.
J
I
want
to
just
pluck
a
little
something
in
there
too,
that
we're
doing
all
these
little
possible
sights
for
the
shots.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
volunteers
out
in
the
community.
I
work
with
a
group
called
community
warriors
when
piedmont
was
giving
their
shots,
they
went
in
there
and
helped
out,
they
did
the
paperwork
and
it
was
a
really
great
setup.
J
I
think
his
name
is
terry
right.
Terry
set
it
up
really
fantastic.
We
as
the
community
warriors
went
in.
We
did
all
the
paperwork
they
had.
The
rooms
lined
up
the
nurses
there
and
it
was
like
clockwise
and
it
worked
real
good.
So
there
are
organizations
out
here
that,
if
you
need
assistance,
we'll
be
more
than
happy
to
help
and
I'm
not
committing
them,
but
I'm
just
saying
they're
here
there
are
other
organizations,
other
volunteers
that
would
love
to
do
the
paperwork.
You
know
verify
the
person's
id.
N
Yes,
ma'am
and
within
our
agency
we
have
a
division,
called
voad,
volunteer
organizations
active
in
disaster
and
our
voad
lead.
Her
name
is
sarah
jackson
and
we
are
vetting
volunteer.
Pharmacists,
volunteer
nurses,
volunteer
groups
through
them,
so
so
as
we're
not
having
to
validate
credentials
on
site,
and
so,
if
anyone's
interested
in
in
that,
if
they
would
just
go
to
our
voad
volunteer
organizations
active
in
disaster
on
our
web
page
at
gma.gov.
N
Yes,
ma'am,
if
you,
if
you
go
to
gma.ga.gov,
which
is
our
website
or
just
google,
the
georgia
emergency
management
agency,
there's
a
tab
there
for
volunteers
who
who
would
like
to
assist
we,
we
are
hiring
out
our
our
clinicians
based.
Of
course,
we
can't
just
have
a
someone,
show
up
and
say
they're
a
pharmacist
or
nurse,
so
we're
vetting
all
of
that
through
our
state
voad
organization.
There
we
have
a
volunteer
here
today.
Tom
ollie
is
a
communications
volunteer
who
is
working
with
us
here
in
columbus
on
site,
and
so
we
gladly
accept
volunteers.
F
F
Because
I
have
a
lot
of
senior
citizens
in
my
district
that
call-
and
I
know
some
that
I
might
not
get
because
I
haven't
received
those
calls-
remember
I
had
told
you
this
before.
But
how
are
we
you
know
getting
to
those
individuals
who
have
been
on
that
waiting
list?
For
you
know
the
last
couple
of
few
months
and
some
of
them
are
close
to
like
80
years
old,
so.
M
Yes,
ma'am
one
of
the
first
things
that
the
mayor
asked
was
when
we
found
out
what
gmo
was
coming
to
town
was:
can
we
can
we
merge
the
two
lists
mr
bishop
did
as
well?
Can
we
merge
the
two
list
into
the
ones
that
have
been
waiting
for
public
health
into
the
jima
site?
M
There
is
no
automatic
merge
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
but
I
have
reached
out
to
public
health
and
they
have
agreed
to
send
messaging
to
those
people
that
have
signed
up
for
their
list,
directing
them
to
go
to
the
myvaccinegeorgia.com
that
way
they
can
get
on
that
list
and
hopefully
get
through
a
little
quicker,
obviously
they're
doing
eleven
hundred
up
to
two
or
three
thousand
shots
a
day.
We
believe
we
can
get
more
people
through
there.
Quick.
The
last
number
mayor
I
had
two
days
ago
was:
we
were
around
19
000.
M
Now
it's
down
a
little
bit
that
we're
on
that
list
and
we're
hoping
to
some
of
those
are
probably
going
to
be
duplicate.
Some
of
those
are
probably
some
that
have
already
received
the
shot
somewhere
else,
but
we
we
hope
that
list
can
be
wiped
out.
Pretty
quickly
as
the
pio
for
the
health
department
said,
she
said
several
weeks
from
now.
We
hope
that
list
is
non-existent.
So
and
again
we
are
still
doing
the
smaller
vaccination
locations
through
the
community
to
try
to
catch
those
that
are
already
on
that
list.
M
B
Thank
you
chance,
and
you
know
the
bottom
line
here
is-
is
that
this
is
a
significant
challenge,
not
so
much
the
administering
the
shots,
but
getting
the
information
out
and
trying
to
create
an
orderly
process
for
them
to
come
through.
That
is
why,
frankly,
we
are
so
excited
that
jima
is
here.
They
have
a
template,
they
drop
in.
They
look
for
a
location
they
found
at
the
civic
center
and
we
know
they're
going
to
do
their
part
and
be
putting
a
lot
of
vaccines
in
arms.
B
B
P
P
P
So
of
course
the
fire
was
in
the
furthest,
complex
furthest,
part
of
the
complex
away
from
that
from
that
hot
fire
hydrant.
And
then
we
had
some
some
failures
of
equipment
during
the
fire,
but
again
no
injuries,
no
fatalities
and
the
fires
on
the
investigation.
B
Absolutely
all
right:
next,
we
have
an
add-on
here.
It's
a
proclamation
that
we
were
unable
to
present
is
charnay
here
with
keep
columbus,
beautiful.
B
F
F
Q
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you
all
for
making
that
event
a
success
we
had
over
254
people
register
we
weren't.
We
have
not
been
able
to
collect
everyone
who
came
out
that
day,
but
we
did
get
the
numbers
back
and
you
all
helped
us
pick
up
over
17
000
pounds
of
litter
from
our
city
and
that's
a
huge
impact.
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
all
a
round
of
applause
and
thank
you
and
we'll
continue
to
give
you
that
report
as
we
get
it.
So.
Thank
you
so
much.
R
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
pro
tem,
miss
ware
direct
aware,
thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
all
that
you
did.
We
all
appreciate
you.
It
was
a
nice
coming
together
of
the
whole
city,
the
volunteers
enjoyed
themselves.
R
I
think
it
was
just
a
nice
day
out
for
people
to
mingle,
because
we've
been
closed
up
for
so
long,
even
though
it
was
outdoor.
It
was
an
outdoor
activity
which
made
it
well
for
everybody,
but
thank
you
so
much,
and
I
also
wanted
the
mayor
to
piggyback
with
me
on
this.
Our
director,
charney
ware
is
running
for
miss
georgia.
Earth
is
that
is
that
correct
and
there's
a
website
www
dot
chardonnay
c-h-a-r-n-a-e
for
the
number
four
miss
m-I-s-s
g-a-e-a-r-t-h
dot
info.
R
So
that's
www.chardonnay4,
miss
georgia,
earth
dot
info
she's
running
for
miss
georgia
earth
to
represent
our
area
here
for
the
state
and
she's
asking
for
donations
and
things
to
help
her
out.
So
please
please,
please,
I'm
asking
the
council
and
all
of
the
community
in
columbus
to
please
take
time
to
support
one
of
our
own
and
push
it
through
to
a
championship,
so
she
will
win
this
as
well
as
the
great
weekend
we
just
finished.
Having
with
you-
and
I
can't
say
enough,
everybody
is
still
talking
and
for
everyone
to
know
personal.
R
J
J
J
So
I
think
in
the
next
round
or
something
we
need
to
go
out
in
in
target
or
send
a
mass
mailing
to
you
know
we
need
our
mayor,
I'm
not
sure
how
we
can
do
it,
but
somebody
can
get
innovated
with
it
to
get
the
businesses
to
start
doing
their
part.
I
went
to
one
business
well,
three
of
the
businesses.
I
went
for
drop
a
point.
J
I
said:
hey,
you,
don't
want
nobody
to
talk
about
you,
you
better
clean
up
or
come
in,
but
I
shouldn't
have
to
say
that
you
know
it
should
be
hey
the
city's
doing
the
cleanup
I'm
in
this
community.
This
community
has
been
having
some
hard
times.
Let
me
give
my
staff
to
go
out
there
and
clean
up
people
stand
before
us
and
complain.
J
What
is
the
city
doing?
Well,
what
are
you
doing
in
your
business?
Your
business
looks
trashy
clean
it
up,
you
know,
go
out
there
and
clean
it
the
night
before
so
that
was
my
only
concern,
and
I
said
I
was
going
to
say
it
and
some
people
told
me
don't
say
that
I
got
to
because
it
takes
all
of
us
to
clean
our
city.
J
Not
just
you
know
the
volunteers
that
came
out,
but
just
wanted
you
to
think
about
that
one,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
way
way
of
doing
it,
but
the
businesses
need
to
stand
up
and
they
need
to
clean
up,
and
maybe
our
code
enforcement
if
they
see
a
very
dirty
area,
hey
give
them
a
ticket
for
litter.
Maybe
that's
a
way
of
doing
it,
so
they
take
pride
in
their
business
and
in
the
community
as
well.
S
I
had
a
pastor
reach
out
to
me
and
he
they
were
unable
to
participate
on
saturday
because
they
keep
the
sabbath,
and
so
they
are
going
to
be
cleaning
an
area
in
my
district
five
on
sunday
march
14th,
and
if
anybody
wants
to
do
it
again,
they're
going
to
be
working
in
the
area
near
home,
depot
and
walmart
on
smoke
and
soiga
and
armor
kind
of
going
around
to
that
that
area
cleaning
up,
and
so,
if
anyone
wants
to
grab
a
couple
garbage
bags
and
meet
them
at
nine
o'clock
on
march
14th,
they
would
appreciate
your
help
and
so
would
district
five
thanks.
S
It's
it's
going
to
be
on
you.
You
would
meet
right
there
near
where
walmart
is
on
smoke.
I
Mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
say
what
a
wonderful
time
we
had
saturday
it
was.
It
was
just
I
had
a
great
group.
I
I'm
sure
everybody
else
had
a
fantastic
time,
good
people,
but
my
group
was
just
exceptional
and
I'm
for
fear
of
for
fear
of
missing
somebody.
I
mean
there
was
a
lot
of
people
that
showed
up
for
fear
of
missing
somebody,
I'm
not
going
to
name
names,
but
I
had
a
great
a
great
time
in
and
counselor
thomas.
If
you
go
down
bradley
park,
I
think
you'll
notice
a
difference.
I
I
We
told
a
lot
of
stories
and
talked
about
a
lot
of
things,
and
it
was
just
just
good
and
they
want
to
do
it
again.
One
thing,
council,
woodson,
was
right.
One
thing
a
lot
of
my
group,
the
feedback
that
I
received
was
we
saw.
We
did
see
a
lot
of
businesses,
various
places
that
just
you
know
over
time.
I
The
litter
the
trash
has
just
built
up
everywhere
and
we
thought
about
trying
to
find
a
way
to
be
creative
with
businesses,
and
that
may
be
something
that
keep
columbus
beautiful
can
do
is
to
start
a
new
kind
of
invest
in
your
community,
in
your
property
or
around
your
property
and-
and
maybe
businesses
might
be
willing
one
saturday
a
month-
or
you
know
a
couple
saturdays
a
month
to
maybe
get
their
employees
involved,
maybe
provide
a
little
incentive
to
to
kind
of
keep
our
properties
clean.
I
remember
when
I
played
in
japan.
I
You
know
they
took
pride
in
their
communities,
they
took
pride
in
their
streets,
so
you
go
over
there,
there's
hardly
any
trash
anywhere,
but
the
older
generation
would
actually
get
out
there
and
clean
and
kind
of
show
leadership
to
the
younger
generation
and
boy.
They
put
them
in
their
place
if,
if
their
places
are
in
their
storefronts
and
their
places
were
dirty,
they,
the
older
generation,
took
charge
of
that
real,
quick
and
put
them
in
their
place.
I
But
it
just
seemed
like
there
was
a
community,
a
sense
of
community,
and
maybe
that's
something
we
can
do
is
start
encouraging
the
businesses
to
to
to
take
ownership
and
pride
in
their
properties
or
around
their
properties
and-
and
maybe,
like
I
said
once
a
week
once
a
month
or
so
once
every
two
months,
maybe
do
something
with
their
employees
to
get
involved
and
pick
up
some
trash,
and
we
can
kind
of
partner
up
with
them
to
to
make
a
difference,
and
I
think
that
would
make
a
difference,
because
there
was
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we
just
couldn't
couldn't
pick
up.
I
It
was
just
there
was
just
too
much
and
we
were
able
to
get
the
right
ways
and
then
off
the
rideaways
in
some
areas,
but
mayor
it
was
a
lot
of
fun
and-
and
I
think
we
made
a
difference.
I
hope
those
areas
stay
clean
for
a
while,
because
it
does
make
a
difference
and-
and
you
know
I
drove
by
the
other
day-
and
certainly
I
I
just-
I
felt
a
sense
of
pride.
You
know
that
we
we
accomplished
something,
and
it
was
just
it
was
good.
I
For
everybody
that
was
involved
in
making
this
happen,
and
I'm
sure,
I'm
speaking,
I'm
probably
saying
the
same
echo
eating
the
same
thing
with
other
counselors
and
their
respective
districts
with
their
groups,
probably
had
the
same
experience.
So
thank
you
charmaine
for
for
helping
coordinate
this
and
put
it
all
together.
I've
got
all
the
equipment.
I
need
to
get
back
to
you,
those
little
grabbers
at
first.
I
thought
they
weren't
going
to
make
it,
but
those
things
are
incredible.
I
I
mean
they
really
are.
I
was
at
home,
making
my
own
little
poke
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
to
to
kind
of
get
the
trash
reach
down
and
get
the
trash
and
and
I'm
like
you
know,
I
threw
that
in
the
back
of
my
truck
and
used
those
little
those
little
grabbers
and
they
were
incredible,
those
things
are
tough,
so
maybe
you
need
to
get
some
more
of
those
things
well,.
B
Not
be
a
witness,
I
watched,
you
operate
your
little
grabber
when
you
were
over
there
on
whitesville
road,
so.
R
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
let
council
and
everyone
know-
I
just
forwarded
it
to
the
deputy
clerk
over
here-
to
get
the
information
out.
It's.
R
B
F
You
know
out
early
saturday
morning,
volunteering,
so
I
definitely
wanted
to
thank
him,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
all
knew
that
representative
catherine
smowery
was
out
volunteering
as
well.
So
we
want
to
thank
our
representative
and
our
former
former
councilwoman
valerie
thompson
was
also
on
my
team.
So
I
want
to
thank
her
and
we
had
a
lot
of
youth
on
our
team
and
and
also,
I
can't
think
of
you
was
sitting
by
him.
F
Me
me,
mr
rick
atkins
and
he's
probably
like
70
or
60
something
years
old,
except
70.,
and
he
was
in
the
ditches
cleaning
up
so
director,
where
I
was
about
to
say
johnson
director
where
thank
you
just
thank
you
for
listening
and
for
me
being
able
to
work
with
you.
It
was
awesome.
I
can't
wait
to
hear
more
that
you
already
have
and
plan
for
the
columbus
literally.
So
thank
you.
J
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
miss
ware
walked
away,
but
I
wanted
council
and
everyone
to
know
also.
I
there
was
a
lot
of
group
a
lot
of
different
groups
with
me.
We
had
between
councillor
huff
and
myself.
We
had
about
86
people
come
out
from
different
organizations,
but
I
want
to
just
highlight
one
because
I
think
it's
very
important
how
our
partners
and
our
quality
life
people
help
out.
J
I
called
the
the
lions
columbus
lions
dragon
lines.
I
called
them
like
I'd,
say
four
days
before
the
cleanup
and
they
agree
and
they
had
the
worst.
J
I
got
to
do
better,
but
even
the
mascot
was
with
the
little
clinches
that
glenn
you
were
talking
about
and
he
was
even
picking
up
trash.
You
know.
So
it's
really.
I
think
it's
wonderful
that
we
highlight
these
different
organizations
and
I
thought
that
was
a
great.
You
know
a
great
thing
that
they
took
time.
They
had
just
played
the
game
which
they
did
outstanding.
They
beat
the
other
team
real
good,
but
they
came
out.
J
You
know-
and
I
think
that
speaks
a
lot
for
that
organization
to
on
a
short
notice,
come
out
and
be
part
of
the
community
and
and
show
the
community
how
they
care-
and
I
know
tucker
forgot,
but
I'm
just
going
to
plug
it
in
there
too,
our
police
department
was
out
there.
I
was
a
little
jealous
because
they
were
on
her
team,
but
the
police
department.
J
There
were
so
many
different
groups
out
there
that
normally
would
not
be
out
in
the
community
that
was
out
there,
and
that
goes
to
show
the
the
pride,
the
love
that
they
have
for
this
community,
and
since
we
were
plugging
in
people,
I
wanted
to
give
the
river
lions
a
big
big
plug,
because
that's
amazing,
they
just
finished.
The
game
came
out
early
in
the
morning
and
unfortunately,
I
gave
them
a
really
bad
spot
without
realizing
it
and
they
did
a
fantastic
job
in
cleaning
it
up.
J
Yeah,
I
was
thinking
the
same
thing.
Tucker
was
saying
we
probably
need
to
do
a
list.
I
think
that
per
our
districts
we
can
do
a
proclamation
or
something
that
we
can
give
to
our
captains
for
that
they
can
distribute
to
the
individuals
later.
So
they
can
see
the
sense
of
appreciation
that
we
had
and
the
sense
of
pride.
So
please
go
support
our
lions.
They
were
awesome.
They
support
our
community
just
want
to
give
them
a
pitch.
Those.
H
H
P
T
I
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
share
with
you
about
the
recent
audit
that
I
completed
on
the
clerk
of
municipal
court.
That
audit
was
requested
by
outgoing
clerk
vivian
creighton
bishop.
She
was
actually
in
office
for
27
years
and
she
left
december
of
2020..
The
new
clerk
is
reginald
thompson.
I
think
councilor
tucker
pointed
him
out,
but
he's
here
today
to
hear
the
results
of
his
audit.
The
audit
was
authorized.
T
T
Additional
duties
that
the
municipal
court
handles
are
a
lot
of
citizen
services.
They
have
a
customer
counter
answer
a
lot
of
customer
phone
calls
and
do
emails,
they've
got
15
full-time
employees
and
an
annual
budget
of
six
seven
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
fiscal
year.
2020
they
collected
about
two
hundred
and
eleven
thousand
dollars
in
court
cost.
But
don't
let
that
number
alarm
you?
It
is
actually
down
generally.
T
That
number
is
about
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
000,
but
with
the
covet
issues
that
came
up,
civil
cases
were
suspended
for
the
months
of
march
april
and
may
so
the
numbers
are
actually
down
about
16
percent.
T
Let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
audit
process.
The
first
thing
we
start
out
with
is
an
entrance
conference
and
it's
an
opportunity
to
sit
down
and
talk
with
the
auditor
and
the
department
prior
to
the
audit,
so
that
everyone
knows
what
to
expect
that
entrance
conference
can
be
attended
by
anyone.
The
department
head
chooses,
it
could
be
just
the
department
head
or
it
could
be
the
entire
department.
T
This
particular
conference
was
attended
by
the
clerk
himself
reginald
thomas
and
his
chief
deputy
clerk
wendy
lewis.
It's
an
opportunity,
it's
not
just
a
one-way
street.
When
you
go
in
and
do
an
audit
it's
a
give
and
take
they
have
got
issues
that
they
would
like
to
see
addressed
or
areas
of
concern
that
they
may
like
some
help
or
suggestions
with.
So
we
kind
of
lay
out
a
great
great,
I
guess
some
groundwork
for
the
audit.
T
T
T
T
T
The
first
thing
I
took
a
look
at
was
the
odyssey
system.
Our
new
court
management
system
wants
to
let
everyone
know,
and
you
should
be
very
happy
that
the
personnel
in
this
department
is
fully
integrated
and
completely
engaged
with
the
system
they
start
using
at
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning,
and
they
shut
it
down
at
five
o'clock
in
the
afternoon.
T
T
They
felt
that
there
was
a
lot
of
redundancy.
He
was
asking
the
same
questions
over
and
over.
They
felt
like
it
was
very
repetitive
and
took
a
long
time
to
do
anything.
Well,
as
an
auditor
sitting
and
watching
the
process,
I
can
tell
you
all
those
things
that
they
mentioned
are
very
very
valid,
but
actually
the
system
is
doing
exactly
what
it
needs
to
be
doing
all
of
the
questions.
The
redundancy.
The
long
process
is
a
part
of
the
internal
controls
that
are
necessary
for
a
system
like
this.
T
One
of
the
things
that
I
did
feel
was
a
drawback
of
the
system
is
that
it
does
produce
system
generated
receipts.
For
example,
if
a
citizen
comes
in
and
makes
a
payment
for
a
service,
they
do
not
get
a
receipt
immediately,
so
we
are
still
using
hand
written
unnumbered
receipts
in
order
to
give
a
customer
a
final
transaction
support.
It
would
be
very,
very
nice
if
we
could
immediately
enter
information
into
the
system
and
get
a
system
generated
receipt,
but
based
on
the
time
it
takes
to
do
that.
That
would
be
adverse
to
the
citizen.
T
The
next
thing
that
I
reviewed
was
in
court,
which
is
an
online
access
system.
Citizens
can
go
out
from
anywhere
in
the
country
or
maybe
anywhere
in
the
world
or
wherever.
There's
internet
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week
and
they
can
request
services
from
the
municipal
court.
They
also
pay
in
court
with
a
credit
card.
T
What
happens
every
day?
Is
personnel
comes
into
municipal
court?
They've
got
emails
from
in
court
about
the
activity,
unfortunately,
there's
not
an
interface
with
odyssey,
so
what
we
have
to
do
is
retrieve
that
information
enter
it
into
odyssey,
and
we
make
a
note
that
we've
got
money.
That's
coming
every
couple
of
weeks
in
court
sends
a
check.
We
reconcile
the
check
to
the
money
that
we're
expecting
and
the
check
goes
to
the
bank,
I'm
very
happy
to
say
that
that
process
is
happening
very
timely
and
the
work
is
being
done
very
accurately.
T
T
You,
you
have
cash
in
the
office,
it's
a
high
risk,
but
I'd
like
to
report
that
they
do
never
never
leave
that
cash
box
unattended
and
it's
locked
up
at
night,
and
we
did
talk
about
some
additional
internal
controls
that
could
be
implemented
to
make
that
a
safer
tool
and
for
people
to
be
more
confident
with
it
in
the
office
looking
at
daily
and
monthly
reconciliations
want
to
tell
you.
This
is
a
highly
structured
process
in
this
office.
T
It
was
absolutely
amazing
how
engaged
management
is.
Everyone
knows
the
routine
at
four
o'clock.
Management
goes
around
and
looks
at
all
of
the
work
on
everyone's
desk
to
see
what
they've
done
for
the
day
and
where
they
stand.
They
look
at
the
customer
counter
and
see.
If
there
are
citizens
there
waiting
and
then
they
start
the
close
of
the
day
processes,
and
they
do
it
one
at
a
time.
It
doesn't
all
happen
at
once,
they're
making
every
effort
to
make
sure
that
citizens
are
being
handled.
T
No
findings
looked
at
gcic
and
I've
looked
at
this
in
several
of
the
court
offices
that
I've
been
in
and
like
everyone
else
that
process
is
behind,
but
in
this
department
it's
very
actively
managed
in
order
to
do
gcic,
you
must
be
specially
trained,
and
I
believe
it's
this
month
they
have
got
several
additional
personnel
going
and
being
trained
to
be
able
to
tackle.
These
issues
did
a
payroll
audit.
No
findings
did
a
budget
review
of
fiscal
years,
18,
19
and
20,
and
they
are
consistently
under
budget.
T
The
recommendations,
I
think
we
need
to
somehow
address
the
odyssey
system
and
the
system
generated
receipts.
The
citizens
should
have
the
ability
to
pay
with
a
credit
card
and
not
just
cash
or
check.
I
think
if
we
can
implement
that,
that
is
going
to
negate
a
little
bit
of
the
negativity
of
not
getting
receipts
from
the
odyssey
system
because
number
one.
If
you
can
use
a
credit
or
debit
card,
you're
no
longer
needing
to
do
cash.
T
T
T
There
are
not
boxes
of
filing
that
you
have
to
walk
around
scattered
throughout
the
office.
There
is
not
old
office
equipment
on
shelves
collecting
dust,
it
is
a
very
pleasant
work.
Environment,
employee
morale
was
excellent.
There
was
a
large
amount
of
teamwork
and
I
would
like
to
tell
reginald
thank
you
very
much
for
doing
a
great
job.
It
was
a
very
pleasant
audit
in
speaking
with
him
about
it.
He
says,
they're,
currently
working
on
the
credit
cards
and
he's
working
on
his
banking
relationships.
B
All
right,
we'll
move
on
now
to
the
city
attorney's
agenda.
U
K
U
Today,
first
item
up
for
a
vote
is
the
text
amendment
the
udo
to
delete
townhouse
and
certain
multi-family
and
the
historical.
B
B
U
B
U
Thanks
all
right,
the
second
winter
petition
is
1421
6th
avenue
going
to
uptown
zoning.
U
B
U
Okay,
we've
got
a
resolution
that
doesn't
need
to
be
read
into
the
record
again,
but
counselor
house
would
like
to
honor
eugene
jacques
bullard
with
a
postage
stamp
and
that
request
needs
to
be
sent
off
again.
V
B
U
And
then
mayor
we've
got
one
add-on
resolution.
We
sit
around
the
table
in
the
interest
of
time
to
avoid
an
executive
session.
This
is
just
a
settlement
resolution
for
the
claims
of
melody
palmer
to
be
settled
in
the
amount
of
sixty
two
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
a
motor
vehicle
accident.
It
is
ready
for
adoption
motion.
B
U
And
then,
lastly,
mayor
just
another
reminder
on
the
district
and
commission
nominees,
if
counselors
will
give
me
and
miss
shift
all
their
suggestions
for
district
and
commission
members,
we
will
pour
those
on
to
the
grand
jury.
We've
gotten
several
from
you
already,
but
we
need
four
from
each
of
the
eight
district
councillors,
just
four
names,
people
that
might
be
interested
and
that's
all
we
had
lair
council
woodson.
J
K
J
B
B
B
R
Councillor
huff
yeah
two
things,
one
piggyback
with
councillor
woodson
and
think
the
mission
continues.
They
were
a
big
part
of
planning
what
we
did
the
other
day
and
we
had
one
of
the
churches
and
then
the
diagnostic
center
there
on
north
london
road
and
also
to
the
city
attorney.
What
side
deadline
on
those
names.
U
P
U
B
B
W
Well,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
I
have
a
stopwatch
here
and
I'm
gonna
use
it,
so
I
can
keep
better
track
too.
W
The
naacp
is
a
bit
older,
founded
in
1909,
the
women's
international
league
for
peace
and
freedom
was
founded
in
1915
by
women
who
were
committed
to
ending
war
and
fighting
for
peace
and
freedom.
Even
before
women
had
to
vote
in
this
country.
The
women's
international
league
for
peace
and
freedom
was
building
the
movement
to
end
wars,
and
it
is
an
international
movement
of
women
in
2012,
as
a
member
of
will
here
in
columbus
recently
moved
here,
I
was
a
delegate
to
the
commission
on
the
status
of
women
at
the
u.n
I
was
representing.
W
In
december
of
this
past
year,
I
and
some
other
wolf
members
around
the
country
organized
a
webinar
to
talk
about
ending
wars
in
africa,
particularly
to
stop
the
u.s
africom
one
of
the
commands
in
africa
that
is
contributing
to
wars
in
africa,
and
it
was
at
that
moment
that
we
decided
we
would
do
the
historic
thing
of
establishing
a
branch
here
in
columbus
georgia.
W
W
So,
on
march
the
20th,
we
will
have
a
special
women's
history
month
program
and
I
will
send
to
the
clerk
of
council
a
way
for
people
in
the
city
government
to
attend.
It
will
be
5
to
6
30
on
saturday
march
20th
and
if
I
could
get
some
help
from
lindsay,
I
have
some
brochures
which
I
mentioned
to
the
clerk
that
I
wanted
to
pass
out
to
everyone,
and
I
do
believe
I
have
22
copies,
which
gives
you
some
more
information
that
I
won't
be
able
to
tell
in
my
five
minutes.
W
But
the
important
thing
about
wilf
is
we're
committed
to
local
and
global
peace
and
freedom
and
the
steering
committee
of
the
columbus
branch
which
we
named
ourselves.
The
fanny
lou
hamer
branch
after
the
wonderful
civil
rights,
human
rights
activists
in
mississippi
who
did
so
much
to
change
access
to
voting
rights
in
the
south.
W
There
is
an
escalating
culture
in
the
community
which
I
think
has
something
to
do
with
mental
health,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
but
we
do
want
to
make
that
commitment,
and
I
see
my
five
minutes
up
mr
mayor
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
on
issues
in
the
community
that
are
important
to
all
of
us
through
the
women's
international
league
for
peace
and
freedom,
because,
as
we
know,
women
do
stand
strong
in
this
community
and
we
want
to
be
a
part
of
that.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
B
I
believe
mr
scales
canceled
as
well
is
mr
quinone

G
G
X
Good
morning,
mayor
and
members
of
council,
mr
city
manager
this
morning,
I
hope
to
give
you
a
quick
update
of
the
outdoor
pools
and
where
we
are,
for
the
summer,
very
quickly,
go
through
where
we
are
so
this
summer.
Our
expectation
is
that
we
will
open,
rigdon
pool
and
double
church's
pool.
We
will
open
those
on
may
26th
keeping
in
line
with
what
we've
done
most
summers
when
children
get
out
of
school.
X
As
you
know,
most
of
our
lifeguards
are
high
school
students,
and
so
we
wait
for
the
school
year
to
end
so
this
year
this
will
coincide
with
when
students
get
out
of
school
with
may
26th.
Unfortunately,
salmon
road
and
shirley
winston
will
stay
closed
as
they
have
for
the
last
couple
of
summers,
as
we
do
not
have
the
funding
currently
to
reopen
those
two
facilities
for
those
of
you.
In
the
years
past,
we
have
been
fortunate
enough
to
have
a
passport
to
summer.
X
X
They're
not
fully
operational
they're,
just
not
in
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
partner
with
us,
so
we're
not
able
to
offer
our
past
this
summer,
because
many
of
them
are
not
able
to
do
the
things
for
us
that
they've
done
traditionally.
Also
the
past
has
been
so
successful
in
years
previously
we're
just
not
going
to
be
able
to
handle
the
crowds
that
the
passes
produce.
X
So
we
felt
like
this
year
is
just
not
the
year
for
us
to
do
our
passport
to
columbus,
so
we're
going
to
forego
our
passport
this
year
and
hope
that
next
summer,
most
of
our
partners
will
be
back
to
normal
and
will
be
able
to
continue
that
that
huge
passport
that
has
been
so
successful
in
many
years
and
hopefully
add
more
things
to
it,
because,
ultimately,
that
was
our
plan
pool
operations
for
this
summer.
What
would
that
look
like
pool
capacity?
Obviously
with
covid?
X
We
will
have
to
limit
our
capacity
so
that
we
can
keep
everyone
safe,
we'll
we
will
take
reservations.
People
will
be
able
to
call
up.
They
can
make
reservations.
X
The
capacity
will
be
limited
based
on
what
we
can
handle,
keeping
people
safe
reservations
will
be
made
weekly,
you
can
call
up,
citizens
can
call
to
the
pools
and
make
reservations
the
time
slots
will
be
an
hour
and
a
half
wednesday
through
sunday,
keeping
with
the
hours
that
we
normally
have
and
the
slots
are
there
so
that
we
can
clean
and
be
in
between.
X
We
want
to
try
to
maximize
and
give
as
many
people
the
opportunity
to
come
out
and
enjoy
the
pools,
and
so
the
thought
process
is
we'll
have
an
hour
and
a
half
for
families
to
be
able
to
enjoy
the
pools,
and
then
that
will
give
our
staff
the
opportunity
to
clean
the
pool,
deck
bathrooms
and
sanitize
in
between
the
reservation
slots.
X
Of
course,
social
distancing
in
and
around
the
pools
will
be
enforced,
but
at
least
it
will
get.
Excuse
me
give
us
the
opportunity
to
offer
the
pools
this
summer.
One
of
the
bigger
hurdles
that
we
face
right
now,
obviously
is
lifeguards.
That's
something
we
face
in
a
regular
season.
This
year
is
no
different.
X
We're
currently
we've
been
open.
Looking
for
lifeguards
for
quite
some
time,
we're
looking
for
about
25
outdoor
lifeguards,
so
I
mentioned
that
so
if
anyone
knows
anyone,
I'm
looking
for
summer
employment,
we
are
certainly
looking
for
outdoor
lifeguards
as
well
as
indoor
lifeguards,
but
certainly
this
summer
is
no
different.
We
are
definitely
going
to
be
looking
for
outdoor
lifeguards
so
that
we
can
be
sure
we
can
open
the
pools.
X
One
thing
I
did
want
to
bring
up
is
that
rigdon
pool
was
built
at
the
same
time
that
solomon,
road
and
shirley
winston
was
built.
They
were
all
opened
in
2002
and
so
rigdon
is
currently
seeing
the
same
type
things
that
we
saw
with
salman
and
with
shirley
winston.
So
I
wanted
to
make
mention
of
that
today,
because
we
will
be
able
to
open
it
this
year,
but
it's
very
likely
that
I
may
come
to
uef
next
year
without
any
additional
funding.
X
X
This
is
what
it
looks
like
as
of
now,
so
we
will
do
our
best.
We
have
great
staff,
along
with
mr
crittel's
staff,
with
public
works,
so
we
will
do
everything
we
can
to
get
the
pools
open
and
we'll
have
them
operational
this
summer.
But
again
this
has
to
be
addressed.
These
are
things
for
the
future,
just
like
with
shirley
winston
and
salmon
road
that
we
cannot
continue
to
operate
just
with
huge
cracks
and
issues
that
we
continue
to
see
with
operating
systems
that
we're
going
to
have
to
address.
X
But
what
does
the
future
hold?
We
all
know:
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversation
over
the
last
five
or
six
years
as
to
what
opportunities
could
exist.
Obviously,
for
us,
these
are
things
that
we
would
like
to
see
put
on
the
splost.
These
are
things
that
we
know
our
citizens
have
asked
for
for
the
future,
and
so
these
are
a
couple
of
examples
just
to
give
people
opportunities
to
see.
You
know
what
what
do
the
options
look
like?
Obviously,
we
could
do
splash
pads.
X
That
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
brought
forth
at
one
point,
because
it's
a
lot
more
economical
for
the
city
to
offer,
but
obviously
these
are
things
that
people
like
you
can
see
the
different
options
here.
Here's
another
slide.
These
are
some
more
options
you
can,
like.
I
said
you
can
see
from
splash
pads
to
indoor
facilities,
add-on
facilities,
but
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
mention
here
is
all
these
pictures
that
you
see.
These
are
all
our
competitors.
X
So
all
these
facilities
that
you
see
all
these
brightly
colored
activities.
These
are
all
facilities
in
the
state
of
georgia
right
now
that
are
parks
and
rec
facilities.
So
I
know
that
all
these
other
cities
can
do
it.
So
can
we
we've
just
got
to
find
the
funding
to
be
able
to
do
so,
but
these
are
certainly
opportunities
that
we
can
have
here
in
columbus.
We've
just
got
to
find
a
way
to
do
so
so.
E
X
X
Sure,
certainly,
it
really
boils
down
to
what
the
community
wants.
It
boils
down
to
whether
we
go
from
a
splash
splash
pad
type
operation,
or
do
we
go
back
to
something
similar
to
what
we
have
when
the
facilities
that
we
currently
have
were
built,
so
the
double
I'm
sorry,
salman
road,
rigdon
and
shirley
when
they
were
put
in
in
2002,
they
were
1.9
million
dollars.
So
obviously
that
was
20
years
ago.
So
I
can
let
all
of
you
each
each.
Each
of
them
were
1.9
million
dollars.
X
I
know
a
new
rec
center
that
just
got
put
in
clayton
county
one
of
the
newest
ones
in
the
state
right
now
and
part
of
that
was
a
brand
new
rec
center
with
a
couple
of
laps,
not
a
huge
natatorium,
but
a
couple
of
laps
and
they're,
also
adding
in
if
you
will,
the
look
of
a
shirley
winston
where
it
has
the
the
the
slides
and
it
has
the
wade
pool
and
it
has
the
splash
pad.
So
it
gives
their
community
access
both
year
round,
so
kids
can
go
inside.
X
R
R
X
Sir
and
that's
what
a
lot
of
places
have
a
lot
of
places
do
go
to
that
now,
because
that
does
provide,
as
I
mentioned,
to
counselor
thomas,
that
sort
of
provides
the
best
of
both
worlds,
because
here
in
the
south,
it's
hot
a
lot
of
the
times.
So
you
would
have
the
outdoor
portion,
but
you
could
also
utilize
that
portion.
You
know
during
the
winter
months
and
the
times
were
closed,
and
it
would
also
help
us
defer.
Some
of
the
the
community
portion
could
use
that
versus
going
maybe
to
the
natatorium.
R
Could
you
or
would
you
please
check
on
this
for
me
and
the
rest
of
council
and
let
us
know
what
it
would
be,
maybe
if
we
could
spread
the
wealth
around
and
maybe
have
a
pool
with
slides
and
things
of
this
nature,
maybe
in
the
salmon
road
area,
the
reagan
area
and
the
shirley
winston
area.
R
That
would
put
it
in
the
neighborhoods
where
most
of
the
city
could
kind
of
access
and
go
from
there
mayor.
Mr
city
manager.
Is
this
something
that
we
can
add
to
our
upcoming
penny
sales
tax
bus.
B
But
we
were
able
to
keep
people
on
staff
year
round
and
have
access
other
than
the
natatorium
in
in
the
midtown
area.
That
would
be
the
ideal
solution,
because
we
don't
want
to
piecemeal
something
and
have
spent
a
lot
of
money
when
we
could
have
spent
a
little
more
and
had
it
have
greater
utility
for
our
citizens.
So
yeah.
R
B
G
And
may
I
concur
with
all
that
you've
said
I
think
you've
you've
said
it
and
it
is
on
the
list
for
further
discussion
with
community
input,
so
yeah,
okay,.
K
X
It's
not
that
they
have
a
particular
life
cycle
for
say
because
all
of
it's
based
on
use-
and
so
even
with
the
aquatic
center,
for
example-
we've
redone
the
surface
on
the
aquatic
center,
just
because
it
has
such
a
high
volume
of
use
in
a
normal
time
outside
of
covid.
We
have
such
a
high
foot
traffic
on
it.
That
and
also
our
expectation
is
we
want
it
to
look.
X
We
want
it
to
look
top-notch,
and
so
we
ask
that,
have
we
have
it
redone
and
so
outdoors
you
have
a
different
component
because
you
have
the
sun
versus
the
inside,
so
it's
a
lot
of
different
characters
that
play
into
it.
So
it's
not
one
number
I
wish
I
could
give
you
just
one
number,
but
there's
a
lot
of
different
factors
that
play
into
it,
but
I
mean
all
of
our
outdoor
pools.
X
Double
churches,
aside
are
19
years
old,
they
were
all
put
in
2002
and
so
rigdon
has
fared
a
little
better
because
it
hasn't
had
as
much
traffic
through
the
years
as
the
other
two,
the
other
two
were
predominantly
higher.
Traffic
usage
than
rigdon
was,
and
so
maybe
that's
the
only
reason
it
fared
a
little
better.
X
I
hate
to
say
that,
because
they
all
get
a
lot
of
use
and
all
have
had
a
lot
of
use,
but
that's
the
only
reason.
Maybe
it
fared
a
little
better,
but
there's
no
rhyme
or
reason
to
give
you
there's
no
just
one
number
that
I
can
say
because
sun
and
usage
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
play
into
how
long
the
deck
lasts.
F
J
Yes,
thank
you
holly.
I
have
a
question
for
you
like
myself
and
everyone
we
like
the
bottom
one
inside
and
out,
but
let's
say
if
that
wasn't
feasible
right
now
at
this
time
or
we
had
to
face
them
in
the
splashes,
how
expensive
more
or
less
can
they
run,
because
I
know
the
one
that's
up
in
uptown
columbus
that
gets
huge
all
that
I've
every
time
I've
gone
over
there.
It's
been
packed
and
kids,
even
people
on
wheelchair,
you
know
use
it.
X
Sure
it
still
has
a
pretty
hefty
price
tag
because
of
the
operating
system
that
you
don't
see,
that's
underground
for
the
recirculation
of
water
and
there
are
two
options,
but
that
we
could
look
at.
We
could
look
at
whether
we
want
to
recirculate
the
water
or
whether
we
want
to
just
have
runoff
water,
meaning
we
don't
recapture
and
we
don't
treat
the
water
but
you're,
still
looking
at
several
hundred
thousands
of
dollars,
potentially
probably
four
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
at
least
even
if
we
just
did
that.
Well,.
G
And
I
can
tell
you
the
one
uptown,
which
is
a
small
one,
but
well
done,
was
a
half
million
dollars.
J
Interesting,
I
just
I
you
know,
I'm
I'm
trying
to
think
of
other
ways,
some
options,
and
I'm
just
saying
you
know
lots
of
people
like
those
where
you
run
through
so
because,
when
you
started
talking
at
first,
I
thought
inside
you
can
have
like
a
small
pool
to
do
laps
but
then
outside
you
can
have
the
these
all
these
other
ones.
So
different
ways
of
doing.
J
I
guess
we'll
just
have
to
wait
and
see
what
people
think
based
on
cost,
but
I
think
it's
important
when
we
talk
to
people
that
we
let
them
know
it's
a
big
price.
So
when
you're
thinking
of
what
you
want,
consider
the
price
tag
behind
it,
but
I'm
excited.
I
want
something
new
everything
I'm
just
pitching
right
now.
I
want
something
new
for
reading.
K
B
X
Certainly
so,
starting
on
march
15th,
we
will
roll
out
the
reopening
of
the
recreation
centers.
So,
as
you
know,
we
have
eight
recreation
centers
here
in
columbus.
We
will
reopen
all
eight
of
those
on
march
15th.
X
We
will
have
a
few
restrictions
when
people
come
back
as
far
as,
of
course,
social
distancing,
we'll
do
some
reservations,
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
people
separated
while
they're
there
as
much
as
possible,
but
that's
that's
pretty
much
it
as
far
as
opening
the
rec
centers.
Also,
we
will
have
our
therapeutic
recreation
program,
we'll
start
back
on
march
15th
as
well.
X
We
will
do
reservations
there
with
that
program,
because
it's
a
very
popular
program
prior
to
covid,
we
would
average
about
40
participants
a
day
which
is
a
lot
for
that
particular
program.
Overall,
we
could
have
75
to
100
people
in
the
program,
but
we
would
see
about
40
on
average
every
day
we
can't
handle
that
many
people
and
keep
them
all
socially
distanced,
so
we're
going
to
do
reservations
and
try
to
give
everyone
at
least
the
beginning,
the
opportunity
to
come
at
least
once
a
week.
X
They
have
been
having
a
program
they're
the
one
group
that
has
had
a
program,
the
entire
time
we've
been
gone.
They
have
had
a
virtual
program.
Our
staff
have
been
really
really
good
about
having
virtual
programs
specifically
for
that
particular
group.
They've
had
a
very
captive
audience
and
they've
had
programming
all
along,
not
that
we
haven't
offered
virtual
programming
for
the
rest
of
the
community,
but
they
have
a
very
captive
audience
and
they've
continued
the
entire
time,
but
those
two
programs
will
come
back
online
on
march
15th.
X
In
addition,
we
also
bringing
back
brett
david's
studios.
They
will
come
back
on
march
15th,
and
so
we
will
do
reservations
there
as
well.
So,
as
you
can
see,
everything
is
going
to
have
some
reservations
when
we
come
back
and
that's
just
to
give
us
a
gradual
feel
to
see
how
many
people
want
to
come
back.
We
don't
know
what
we're
expecting.
We
don't
know
how
many
people
are
going
to
want
to
come
back
when
we
reopen.
X
This
just
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
sort
of
slowly
gradually
get
us
back
into
reopening
and
then
we'll.
You
know,
as
we
see
how
many
people
want
to
come
back,
we'll
gradually
grow
with
that
and
allow
more
people
to
make
more
reservations,
so
it
may
be
slow
in
the
beginning,
but
then
the
thought
process
behind
it
is
to
gradually
let
them
have
more
and
more
and
more.
X
But
we've
got
to
see
and
have
a
starting
point,
obviously,
because
we
don't
know
who's
out
there
and
who
expects
to
come
back
or
who
wants
to
come
back,
and
so
we
want
to
be
consistent.
We
want
to
be
fair
and
give
everybody
an
opportunity
in
the
beginning
and
not
knowing
how
many
people
want
to
come
back.
X
This
is
the
only
way
we
can
do
so
because
a
lot
of
our
programs
have
a
lot
of
participation,
and
so
the
only
way
for
us
to
do
it
is
to
try
to
be
fair,
but
certainly
with
the
recreation
centers.
We're
excited
to
be
able
to
be
reopening
and
have
the
kids
come
back
and
have
everybody
return
to
our
facilities.
So
yes,
sir,
thank.
G
Y
There
were
a
number
of
businesses
in
the
uptown
area
that
were
present
from
all
from
the
restauranteers
to
beauty,
shops
and
tattoo
parlors,
and
a
number
of
others
to
include
uptown,
cbb
and
others.
We
did
provide
a
powerpoint
presentation
to
them,
just
kind
of
letting
them
know
kind
of
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
what
the
current
plans
were
and
then,
of
course,
the
future
plans,
and
we
wanted
to
hear
from
the
public
at
that
meeting.
Y
And
so
I
can
tell
you
that,
after
sharing
some
of
the
considerations,
we
had
great
feedback
from
the
public.
Everyone
was
fully
engaged
and
provided
a
lot
of
good
information
to
us
so
much
so
that
it
was
determined
that,
after
this
meeting
that
we
were
going
to
put
on
pause
the
continuation
of
looking
further
at
pay
stations
for
now
what
we,
what
we
heard
from
them,
was
that
they
felt
that
it
was
just
not
the
right
time
to
pursue
this.
Y
They
told
us
as
a
result
of
the
current
pandemic,
they're,
just
not
getting
the
business
that
they
would
typically
receive
right
now.
Many
are
operating
at
50
percent
capacity,
and
you
know
something
that
we
should
look
at.
But
this
was
just
not
the
right
time.
They
did
ask
that
we
continue
to
work
with
uptown
bid
and
the
businesses
to
look
at
a
model
that
would
work
for
for
uptown.
You
know
there
were
some
that
you
know
many
that
were
there.
That
said,
look
just
leave
it
as
it
is
and
just
enforce.
Y
What's
currently
on
the
books-
and
you
know
so,
there
were.
There
was
a
myriad
of
of
different
suggestions,
but
we
heard
them
and
we
made
sure
that
they
understood
that
we
heard
them
and,
as
a
result,
what
we
are
going
to
do
is
to
just
put
it
on
paul's
and
we'll
look
to
address
this
issue
again
sometime
in
2022
or
in
the
very
near
future,
after
working
very
closely
again
with
with
uptown
bid
and
the
businesses
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
right
model
in
place.
Z
Z
South
columbus
represents
over
234
million
or
55
percent
north
columbus
about
96
million
east
columbus,
21
million
uptown
in
west
columbus,
15
million
the
panhandle
1.3
million
and
midtown
52.8
million
in
south
columbus
234
million
dollars.
And
this
there's
a
list
of
projects.
I
won't
go
through
them
individually,
just
to
highlight
some
of
the
major
ones
brown
avenue
bridge.
Z
The
follow
me
trail.
The
bridge
over
victory
drive
mlk
streetscapes,
the
fort
benning
road
roundabout
in
streetscape
17
million.
This
one
is
still
in
process
the
spiderweb
we're
getting
started
on
the
spiderweb.
This
is
a
53
million
dollar
project.
We
have
work
going
on
currently
with
the
roundabouts
at
a
net,
but
we
should
be
bidding
out
the
actual
bridge
within
the
next
few
months.
Z
The
interchange
this
project
is
underway.
This
is
being
managed
by
gdot
you'll,
see
activity
out
in
this
area
happening
now.
This
casita
road
interchange,
58
million
dollar
project
we're
working
closely
with
gdot.
As
you
know,
we
are
managing
the
mount
pilgrim
purchase
and
transition
for
mount
pilgrim
church,
but
gdot
is
managing
this
project
as
well
and
there's
a
list
of
many
other
projects
that
have
taken
place
in
the
south
columbus
area.
G
Z
Sure
victory
drive
improvements.
We
had
storm
water
improvements
at
casita,
road
and
levy,
road,
the
interchange
at
185
and
custer
road,
the
riverwalk
westfield
parking,
250,
000,
benning,
drive,
bridge
victory,
drive,
30th,
avenue,
signal
levy,
road
improvements,
the
infantry
road
and
trail
east
west,
as
well
as
the
national
infantry
road
north
south.
Those
two
are
in
process.
Z
The
ports
authority
tank
cleanup
was
seven
hundred
thousand
claridon
bridge
was
seven
hundred
thousand
so
many
projects
in
this.
What
we're
calling
the
south
columbus
area
of
our
community
that
have
been
done
or
are
in
process
now
past
projects
that
are
not
included
in
that
total
dollar
amount
but
happen
in
our
south
columbus
area.
The
national
infantry
museum,
oxbow
meadows,
6th
avenue,
flood
abatement,
the
old
camp,
landfill
closure,
casita,
road,
pedestrian
bridge,
the
westfield
relocation
north
star,
st
mary's
road.
Z
Of
course,
these
projects
are
prior
to
this
10-year
window
that
I
looked
at,
but
a
lot
of
activity
and
investment
in
south
columbus
part
of
this
presentation
is
also
to
get
input
on
future
projects
that
are
in
of
interest
to
you.
As
you
know,
the
regional
commission
is
moving
forward
with
a
t.
Splash
for
our
region,
those
projects
are
due
to
that
regional
commission
from
muskogee
county
on
may
31st,
and
so
we
are
developing
a
list
for
council's
consideration.
Z
Z
That
would
be
up
for
consideration
on
that
particular
list
and
we
definitely
want
your
input
as
we're
developing
that
list
and
we'll
be
bringing
that
back
to
council
with
descriptions,
specific
descriptions
of
those
projects,
estimated
budgets
for
councils,
consideration
in
our
north
columbus
area,
96
million
dollars
the
river
road
roundabout
recently
completed
5.7,
and
these
are
just
other
projects
we're
working
on
the
fortson
road
williams,
road
roundabout.
That
should
be
bid
out
very
soon.
Z
We
completed
double
churches
park,
parking
veterans,
parkway,
double
churches,
improvements,
4.4
million,
the
variable
message
or
the
message
boards
that
gdot
did:
3.6
million
on
on
j.r
allen,
veterans,
parkway
north,
which
was
old
moon
road
to
turnberry.
This
was
a
gdot
project,
37
million.
There
is
another
t-splash
project
that
really
encompasses
muskogee
county
and
harris
county
that
will
be
from
turnberry
into
harris
county
at
3
15..
This
is
a
t-splash
project
at
20
million
dollars.
That
g-dot
is
managing
as
it
crosses
county
lines.
Z
Past
projects,
whittlesea
road
as
well
as
moon
road,
was
done
in
the
north
columbus
area.
Some
of
the
projects
that
we're
working
on
as
potential
projects
again
as
we
move
forward
not
only
for
t
splash,
but
any
local
funding
that
we
have
that
we
can
accomplish
some
of
these
projects
with
whitesfield
double
churches,
improvements,
wiggins
road
improvements.
Z
Some
of
those
improvements
at
schomburg
and
blackmon
road
are
on
the
list
for
consideration:
county
line,
road
and
mahaffey
road,
a
replacement
of
that
bridge,
lynch
road,
manchester,
expressway,
old,
double
churches,
road
bradley
park,
drive
pedestrian
improvements,
double
churches,
road
pedestrian
improvements,
and
so,
if
there's
any
projects
in
the
north
columbus
area
that
you
want
us
to
put
on
the
list
for
consideration,
please
reach
out
to
either
myself
or
rick
jones
and
we'll
be
happy
to
put
a
cost
and
an
estimate
to
any
project.
That
council
would
like
to
consider
east
columbus
area,
21.8
million.
Z
Of
course
there
was
the
improvements
we
made
to
forest
roads,
17.8
million.
This
is
a
current
project
underway.
Reece
road
bridge
morris
road
bridge
was
another
project
in
east
columbus
at
1.5
million
and
future
projects.
We
have
the
steam
mill
road
improvements.
There's
a
study
currently
underway
that
we
should
be
coming
back
to
council
very
soon
with
recommendations
from
that
study,
as
well
as
phase
two
of
forest
road.
Z
In
our
uptown
area,
15.75
million
that
included
the
city
mill
bib
mill,
riverwalk
connections-
this
was
a
t-splost
project.
Mott's
green
will
begin
construction
soon.
That's
a
one
million
dollar
project
other
projects
in
the
uptown
area,
the
riverwalk
city,
mills,
parking
dragonfly
trail
extension,
the
riverwalk
slope,
improvements
that
will
be
starting
soon.
Z
We
get
a
lot
of
requests
for
that
particular
project,
as
well
as
the
meredith
mills
drainage
improvements
that
should
be
moving
forward
relatively
soon
in
the
panhandle
1.35
million.
This
includes
the
improvements
that
were
made
on
calumet
of
1.1
million
and
then
we're
working
currently
on
the
salmon
road
signal.
Z
Z
Expressway
in
the
midtown
area,
the
winton
road
streepscapes
was
2.8
million
tableton
road.
This
was
a
gdot
project
45
and
a
half
million
other
projects.
As
the
ada
avenue
winton
road
signal
storm
water
improvements
at
lockwood,
avenue,
melrose
drive,
bridge
decatur
street
bridge
boxwood
boulevard
bridge.
Z
We
had
three
bridge
projects
that
have
been
recently
commune
completed
in
this
area:
past
projects,
the
citizen
service
center
in
the
natatorium
future
projects,
13th
avenue
and
13th
street
improvements,
17th
street
linwood
boulevard
and
13th
avenue
improvements,
buena
vista
road
improvements
and
university
avenue,
improvements
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
And
again
I
would
ask
you
to
reach
out
if
there's
projects
that
you
would
like
to
see
on
this
list,
we'll
be
happy
to
evaluate
those.
G
G
445
thousand
dollars
over
the
last
10
years,
and-
and
I
I
want
to
show
this
slide
because
I
often
hear
people
say
to
me
or
in
sessions
that
we
are
spending
more
money
on
one
side
of
town
than
on
the
other
side
of
town
and
that
other
side
being
south
columbus.
G
G
And
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear
and
and
there's
more
to
come.
I
mean
there's
great
work
going
on
in
what
is
considered
south
columbus
and
if
you
haven't,
visited
south
columbus
in
recent
weeks,
you
ought
to
try
driving
down
universal
road
at
martin
luther
king
and
to
see
how
that
area
has
been
prepped
cleared
for
the
bridge.
That's
going
to
go
across.
Martin
luther
king.
G
Excuse
me
across
the
railroad
tracks
and
if
you
haven't
been
at
185
and
universal
road,
you
ought
to
go
and
see
that
whole
area
has
been
clear,
they're
working
every
single
day
and
that
whole
area
property
has
has
been
acquired.
Demoed
and
it's.
The
construction
is
completely
engaged,
and
you
heard
deputy
city
manager
hodge
mention
that
we
are.
G
We
brought
to
you
an
agreement
with
my
peer
ground,
baptist
church
and
we've
signed
agreements
with
them,
and
so
185
and
casita
road
will
have
a
an
interchange
and
and
and
there's
more
work
coming.
So
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
in
the
south
columbus
area,
and
then
the
second
thing
I
want
to
just
mention
is
you
know
this
t-splotch
is
going
to
be
on
the
ballot
in
2022.
G
This
is
for
you
as
well.
If
there
are
projects
that
you
want
to
see,
any
citizen
can
can
email
or
call
deputy
city
manager
hodge,
or
you
can
call
plan
direct
rick
jones.
You
can
talk
to
any
one
of
your
council
members.
If
you
got
a
road
project
idea
and-
and
I
used
as
an
example-
you
know
you
remember-
we
didn't
have
what
we
call
the
eastern
connector.
We
had
chitoga
road
that
goes
all
the
way
around
and
then
chitago
road
excuse
me
universal
road.
G
That
goes
all
the
way
around
and
connects
with
chitoga
road
and
and
someone
had
this
bright
idea
about
eastern
connector,
and
so
you
brought
it
from
80
that
is
80.
going
to
macon.
You
brought
a
connection
all
the
way
around
to
chicago
road.
G
G
Well,
that's
for
being
in
property,
so
I
mean
obviously,
but
that's
the
thought,
that's
the
idea.
Do
you
have
one
of
those
that
you
can
think
of
in
the
panhandle
somewhere?
You
know
somewhere
else
in
columbus,
on
steam,
railroad
connecting
to
the
having
to
go
straight
around
to
wilder
and
it's
a
continuous
street.
G
B
No,
that's
that's
that's
important
that
we
get
get
everybody's
input
because
you
only
get
a
chance
like
this.
Maybe
every
10
years,
maybe
not
even
that
often
councilor
thomas.
E
E
E
Z
G
And
and
deputy
city
manager
hodge
just
a
lot
of
people
wonder
why
we
don't
fix
the
lights
on
the
oglethorpe
bridge,
which
is
going
across
the
phoenix
city
from
the
civic
center,
so
either
the
planning
director
or
pam
hodge
tell
us
why
they're
not
we're
not
fixing
repairing
lights
on
that
bridge.
Z
I
thought
he
was
still
here
on
oglethorpe
bridge.
They
are
replacing
that
bridge,
so
they're
not
planning
to
do
any
of
maintenance
on
those
lights
at
day,
g
dot,
yes
ma'am.
So
that
will
be
a
project.
They
are
moving
forward.
The
design
team
has
been
on
board,
and
so
they
are
moving
forward
with
that
project
as
well.
I
Thank
you,
mayor,
mississippi
manager.
I
really
appreciate
you
highlighting
those
investments
and
infrastructure
throughout
the
community.
I
think
you
would
agree
with
me
and
we've
had
this
conversation.
I
think
council.
I
I
would
hope,
agree
too
that
one
of
the
things
that
I've
always
said-
and
it's
been
tough
because
you,
you
know
you
just
there's
limited
financing,
limited
funding,
there's
so
many
different
pots
people,
the
community,
doesn't
understand
all
the
different
pots
of
money
going
on
dealing
with
all
these
road
projects
and
infrastructure
projects.
I
One
of
the
things
I'm
concerned
about
in
my
district,
the
district
I
represent,
is
the
continuation
of
growth,
the
continuation,
adding
more
and
more
homes,
more
and
more
businesses.
More
and
more
businesses
moving
more
more
traffic
on
the
on
the
roads
and
the
the
the
streets,
and
all
that
we
have
to
to
hold
that
the
growth
is
going
to
continue
to
magnify
and
exasperate
those
those
kind
of
problems.
I
So
you
know
when
we
think
about
these
things,
it's
important
to
try
to
to
stay
up
on
that
and
to
support
that
that
growth-
and
I
know
you
and
I
have
had
those
conversations,
but
what
I
wanted
to
highlight
even
further
and
what
you're
saying
when
we
see
these
numbers,
you
know
what
we
hear
it
a
lot.
I
know
as
council
members,
we
hear
it
a
lot
that
gosh
that's
an
enormous
amount
of
money.
Y'all
are
spending
so
much
money
for
that.
We
don't
need
that.
That's
a
waste
of
money.
I
G
I
Already
been
locked
in,
but
I
guarantee
you
if
you
went
back
and
tried
to
start
those
projects
again
today,
for
example,
that
river
road
roundabout,
I
believe
it
would
be
north
of
7
million
without
a
doubt
and
if
you
go
back
miss
city
manager.
I
think
you've
done
this
many
times.
I
think
we've
seen
presentations
where,
in
the
past
20
years
ago,
I.e
the
government
center
right
30
years
ago,
40
years
ago
and
then
where
we're
at
today
and
you
look
at
the
differences
in
the
cost
construction,
unbelievable.
I
If
we
don't
look
at
that,
we're
going
to
be
stuck
we're
just
going
to
be
stuck
in
a
rut
and
we're
not
going
to
get
this
stuff
done,
and
I've
heard
so
much.
What
I
hear
all
the
time
with-
and
I
hope
it's
on
that
list
that
we're
talking
about
is
paving
paving
our
roads
are
in
bad
shape.
We
need
paving,
and
I
have
to
remind
them-
we
only
have
we
used
to
have.
I
think,
I'm
right
on
this.
I
I
Less
well,
it's
less
now,
but
we
haven't
been
able
to
support
those
after
a
lot
of
the
economic
challenges
that
we've
been
through
and
even
even
today.
So
how
do
you
get
it
done?
I
mean
that's
going
to
be
a
big
question.
How
do
you
get
it
done
you
just
can't
just
talk
about
you
got
to
figure
out
ways
to
do.
I
hope
the
citizens
will
buy
into
that.
I
hope
paving
you
know
paving.
I
We
can
put
more
paving
on
that,
because
that's
what
I
hear
people
wanting
to
see
and
then
the
the
needed
road
projects
that
that,
especially
in
growth
areas
where
you're
getting
that
continuing
traffic
counts
and
growth
and
you've
got
to
be
able
to
support
if
you're
not
we're,
not
doing
a
good
job
as
a
city
we're
not
being
responsible
as
a
city.
If
we
don't,
if
we
don't
do
that,
but
again
I
just
want
to
you
know
we
talk
about
all
this
stuff
today.
I
Let
me
just
tell
you:
construction.
The
construction
industry
is
booming.
The
subcontractor
industry
is
booming.
The
commodity
industry
is
booming.
The
cost
of
asphalt,
concrete,
steel,
copper
lumber.
You
just
go
across
the
board
rock
everything
it's
at
its
highest
and
it's
going
to
go
higher.
We
hear
it
lately,
we've
been
hearing
a
lot
about
inflation.
I
I
I
What
do
you
think
is
a
fair
number
for
what
it
costs
to
get
these
things
done,
and
you
really
don't
factor
in
behind
the
scenes
of
what's
going
on
and
there's
so
much
construction
if
we
hit
a
growth
spurt
again,
a
reopening
growth
spurt,
where
there's
a
demand
on
the
labor
market,
I
mean
it's:
just
people
gonna
get
their
prices,
and
that
means
that
the
city
who
usually
has
to
pay
a
higher
price
than
the
private
sector
is
going
to
have
to
be
paying
even
more
for
these
projects.
I
You
know
another
two
years,
three
years
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
where
we're
going
to
be
at
then,
but
I
suspect
that
it's
even
going
to
cost
more
to
get
these
things
done,
and
we
just
I
mean
we're
limited
in
the
amount
of
revenue
we
generate
within
our
city,
but
if
we
don't
find
some
creative
ways
to
to
help
fund
some
of
these
things,
I'm
really
concerned
you
know
we're
just
we're
going
to
get
behind
and
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
catch
up.
I
I
tell
people
that
all
the
time
it's
the
truth.
I
mean
it
really
is
the
truth.
So
I
don't
I
you
know
I
I
I
hope
you
would
agree
with
me,
mr
city
manager,
but
that's
just
the
challenges,
we're
confronted
with
as
a
city
that
we
need
to
address.
Absolutely
from
that
standpoint.
F
S
When
you're,
when
they're
planning
to
do
these
bridges,
like
the
oglethorpe
bridge
and
some
of
the
other
bridges
that
are
on
the
185,
are
they
even
taking
into
consideration
of
making
them
interstate
grade
so
that
when
I-14
is
approved,
they
will
already
have
been
done.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
pam
for
the
presentation
today
and
counselor
crab
great,
because
I
had
that
on
there
the
I-14
I
had
like
stretched
over
to
the
mirror
and
said
what
about
I-14
so
pam.
Can
you
give
us
a
little
update
on
the
farmers
market
and
my
reason
for
asking
is
that
I
know
at
one
time
we
spoke
about
it
and
we
had
two
different
groups
that
were
interest.
J
G
Well,
let
me
say:
councillor
woodson
we're
going
to
have
an
update
at
the
march
30th
work
session
on
the
farmers
market
as
well,
and
and
we've
also
talked
to
another
group-
and
I
know
deputy
manager-
hodge
is
trying
to
at
least
connect,
get
them
connected
and
let
them
talk
but
we'll
have
an
update.
It's
scheduled
for
the
30th.
K
G
J
G
Because
we've
already
you've
already
gone
through
a
process
and
and
allow
us
to
proceed
with
the
one
group
you
voted
on
that
a
few
weeks
ago
and
we're
going
to
come
with
an
update
at
the
march
30th
work
session
to
allow
them
to
come
and
make
a
presentation
and
and
and
there's
another
organization
who
has
worked
on
a
project
that
we
want
them
to
have
a
conversation
with
who
we
have
already
who
we
brought
to
council
through
the
rfp
process.
G
J
Okay
well
pam,
before
we
leave
I'll,
give
you
that
contact
number,
so
you
could
speak
because
I
think
it
could
be
a
combination
of
things.
We
walk
that
whole
area
that
it's
humongous
has
so
much
potential
the
other
thing.
Besides
the
paving
of
the
roads,
I
wanted
to
say
our
sidewalks
in
our
heavy
traffic
area.
We
need
to
plan
for
those
in
the
future
and
I
don't
mean
like
we
did
before,
because
I've
always
was
against
it.
I
just
supported
because
we
needed
sidewalks,
I
mean
with
the
curve
up
where
you
know
car.
J
Doesn't
the
grass
doesn't
grow
over
the
walk
area
or
a
car?
You
know
loses
itself
and
runs
over
a
protection
there's
something
to
hold
them
back
with
curves
in
high
traffic
walking
areas
we
can
tell
by
looking
at
our
roads
what
are
high
traffic
areas,
because
the
grass
in
that
area
is
dead
or
people
been
walking
and
got
hit
by
a
car,
unfortunately
or
something.
But
we
need
to
really
really
look
at
that
in
the
high
density
area,
walking
areas
and
like
glenn,
said
he's
right.
J
V
AA
AA
So
first,
I
wanted
to
do
a
quick
refresher
on
the
demolition
process,
so
it
starts
out.
We
either
notice
a
house
or
we
get
a
complaint.
Regarding
a
dilapidated
house,
we
go
out
and
inspect
that
house
and
determine
whether
or
not
we
have
a
property
maintenance
case
or
a
demolition
case
for
a
house
to
be
eligible
for
the
demolition
list.
The
cost
to
repair
that
structure
must
be
greater
than
50
percent
of
the
value
of
the
structure.
AA
So
if
you
have
a
50
000
house,
it's
going
to
take
25
000
one
dollar
to
repair
that
makes
it
eligible
for
the
demolition
list.
If
it's
underneath
that
threshold,
it's
only
a
property
maintenance
case.
So
once
we
determine
it
is
a
demolition
case,
we
send
out
letters.
We
try
to
make
contact
with
the
owners
if
they're
here
locally
to
notify
them
of
a
hearing.
AA
We
hold
hearings
once
a
month
at
the
annex
building.
This
gives
an
opportunity
for
the
owners
of
the
property
to
come,
meet
with
inspections
and
code
and
detail
their
plans
for
the
property.
Did
they
just
inherit?
The
property
just
buy
the
property.
What
the
status
is
following
that
meeting
they
get
a
final
45-day
notice
to
demolish
or
repair
the
structure.
AA
AA
Once
we
receive
the
pricing,
we
prepare
a
list
and
bring
that
to
council
for
their
consideration
on
first
and
second
reading,
and
we
notify
the
owners
again
that
your
property
is
coming
to
council
and
give
them
an
opportunity
to
come
for
those
occurrences
as
well
once
it's
approved
after
second
reading,
then
the
demolition
contractor
begins
work,
so
that
is
the
the
whole
process
it
by
itself
is
several
months.
Several
months
long.
AA
AA
So
a
history
of
city
demolitions
over
the
last
several
years
for
fy
17
through
19,
a
total
of
165
thousand
dollars
or
55
thousand
dollars
a
year,
was
allocated
for
demolition.
Then
in
fy
20
we
were
out
allocated
1
million
55
000
using
that
money.
So
far
today,
we've
demolished
28
properties.
A
total
of
418
000
were
spent
on
two
properties.
Those
were
two
large
trailer
parks
there
on
the
south
side
of
town.
They
ate
up
a
large
chunk
of
that
money
and
then
fy21.
AA
We
were
given
a
total
of
305
thousand
dollars
allocated
for
demolitions.
We've
brought
we've
demolished
13
to
date,
and
then
we
have
67
that
are
ready,
have
completed
the
process
and
are
ready
for
council
consideration.
So
we
plan
to
bring
those
forward
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
and
so
this
is
the
map
of
the
the
demolitions
we've
achieved
over
the
last
two
years.
AA
You
see
the
orange
was
fy20,
the
red
was
was
fy21
and
again
we
have
several
more
we
plan
to
bring
here
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
so
the
current
demolition
list.
We
currently
have
101
properties
that
remain
on
the
demolition
list.
AA
As
I
mentioned,
there's
actually
65
properties
that
have
completed
the
process
and
are
ready
for
council
consideration,
36
properties
that
are
in
the
demolition
process,
whether
we
haven't
set
up
a
hearing
yet
or
they're
still
in
that
45
day
waiting
period,
they're
still
making
their
way
through
the
process,
but
all
of
those
will
be
you
know,
finished
within
fy
22
and
could
also
be
brought
forward
for
for
council
consideration
in
order
to
get
our
list
down
to
zero.
AA
So
this
is
the
map
of
the
101
properties.
You
can
see
the
the
yellow
dots
are
the
30-some
properties
that
are
still
in
the
process
and
then
the
green,
green
dots
are
the
ones
the
60
that
are
are
completed
the
process
and
are
ready
for
council
consideration.
So
you
can
see
they're
spread
all
over
town.
You
know
there's
no
one
necessarily
specific
area
where
they're
located
they're
just
spread
widely
throughout
town.
AA
One
thing
I
did
want
to
want
to
point
out
with
101
cases.
Council
did
approve
a
reorganization
of
inspections
and
codes.
So
now
I
will
have
nine
inspectors
working
demolition
cases,
so
you
know,
roughly
each
inspector
will
have
10
to
15
cases
where,
before
I
only
had
three
inspectors,
so
they
had
over
30
cases
a
piece.
So
it's
really
going
to
allow
us
to
focus
on
these
cases.
AA
So
I
mentioned
a
potential
delays
to
the
demolition
process.
The
first
one
is
an
ownership
transfer.
If,
while
we're
going
through
our
process,
the
property
is
sold
or
transferred,
we
do
start
the
process
all
over
with
the
new
owners,
so
that
restarts
the
clock
back
at
zero
inability
to
locate
owners.
We
do
deal
with
a
lot
of
properties
that
are
inherited
properties
or
where
the
previous
owner
is
deceased,
so
trying
to
track
down
the
legal
owner
of
the
property
is
at
times
challenging,
can
take
us
a
little
bit
longer
than
normal
tax
sales.
AA
AA
Ask
them
to
at
least
board
up
the
property
clean
it
up,
make
it
look
as
good
as
possible
and
then,
as
soon
as
that,
one
year
period
is
over,
they
can
spend
the
money
and
demolish
the
house
and
then
lastly,
is
funding
an
average
single-family
home
costs
over
ten
thousand
to
demolish,
depending
on
there's
hazardous
materials,
asbestos
and
that
kind
of
thing
we
can
see
a
single
family
house
actually
approach,
thirty
thousand,
depending
on
the
the
level
of
the
hazardous
materials
and
then
those
multi-family
or
mobile
home
properties
can
exceed
well
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
R
AA
So
what
to
do,
if
you
see
a
dilapidated
structure
in
the
community,
hopefully
my
goal
is,
is
obviously
that
we
already
have
a
case
on
it
that
we're
already
working
on
it.
We
do
work
with
the
fire
department
when
there's
there's
new
fires
or
new
structure
fires
to
make
sure
we
track
those
make
sure
those
are
handled.
But
if
you
do
see
a
dilapidated
structure,
you
can
call
311
report
the
address
inspections
and
code,
we'll
get
back
with
you
and
let
you
know
if
we
have
a
case
what
the
status
is
of
it.
AA
You
know
where,
along
in
the
process
it
is,
you
can
also
go
to
the
inspections
and
code
website.
We
have
a
dashboard
there
that
you
can
look
at
any
property
zoom
in
to
the
individual
council
districts
or
into
a
neighborhood
and
see
the
current
cases
that
we
have,
and
if
you
own
a
lap
data
structure,
you
really
need
to
contact
inspections
and
code
and
talk
to
us.
Let
us
know
your
plans
and
work
with
us,
so
we
can
get.
You
know
the
issue
resolved.
AA
G
Well,
and-
and
let
me
say
that
the
director
is
going
to
go
through
these
rather
quickly,
but
you
will
see
on
the
photo
the
structure,
the
address
and
the
owner
of
the
property,
and
so
we
are
going
to
be
more
proactive.
G
G
AA
So
I'll
flip,
through
these
most
of
the
pictures,
are
the
outside
the
front
of
the
house
that
you
can
easily
recognizable
from
the
street.
Some
of
them
are
from
the
interior.
In
some
cases
the
exterior
of
the
house
isn't
necessarily
the
issue,
so
some
of
the
the
photos
are
from
the
inside,
but
I'm
just
going
to
flip
through
these.
If
there's
any
questions
or
anything
just
stop.
AA
E
Keep
going
mr
pruitt,
don't
stop.
I
can
two
things
that
come
to
my
mind.
One
is
a
lot
of
these
places,
look
like
they're
out
in
the
country
somewhere
because
of
the
gra
and
they're,
not
they're
in
town
and
they're
next
door
to
somebody,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
so
glad
that
you
guys
are
working
on
the
other
thing
is
there
was
a
across
house
street
from
a
friend
of
mine
and
the
owners
were
like
in
texas
or
something
and
we
couldn't
get
to
them.
AA
AA
So
it
is
a
challenge
you
know
for
in
town
owners
we
try
to
track
them
down
and
knock
on
their
door
and
and
we
can
actually
issue
citations.
That's
one
thing
that
we're
moving
toward
as
well
is
if
your
house
has
been
in
this
condition,
for
you
know
this
long,
that
we
should
issue
your
citation
and
you
can
come
to
court
and
explain.
You
know
why
it's
been
this
case
for
so
long.
B
G
B
Statement
because
you
know
a
lot
of
times,
people
will
come
and
they
let
the
house
sit
out
there
for
a
year
or
longer
and
then,
when
they
get
that
final
notice,
then
they
come
to
council
and
ask
for
time
and
typically
when
they
ask
for
time
one
of
three
things
happens,
and
none
of
them
are
really
very
good
one,
it
one
if
they
well.
I
take
that
back
one
if
they
tear
it
down
themselves
or,
if
they're
serious
about
rehabbing
it.
B
B
So
this
is
a
reminder
that
for
every
individual
that
comes
up
here
and
asks
for
more
time,
there's
an
entire
neighborhood
that
kids
are
playing
near
this
they're
driving
by
this,
and
it's
tough
for
them
to
be
proud
of
where
they
live,
when
they're
not
proud
of
what
they
have
to
drive
by
to
get
there.
So.
G
Oh
yeah
they've
gone
through
the
process,
yeah
and-
and
so
that's
the
thing
so
we've
been
keeping
it
a
secret.
We
don't
let
it
out
and
now
it's
time
to
expose
it's
time
to
narrate
it.
On
ccgtv
you'll
hear
the
soft
music,
like
you
hear,
at
the
parade
of
homes
and
someone
will
be
reading
off
their
names
and
their
addresses
and
we're
going
to
post
it
on
the
ccg
website,
and
so
we're
calling
on
you,
and
maybe
your
neighbor
will
let
you
know
that
you're
playing
on
tv,
but
we
need
you
to
help
us.
G
B
Well,
we
want
to
thank
council
too,
for
you
know.
Two
years
ago
we
had
been
given
about
50
000
a
year
towards
demolitions,
which,
as
you
see
from
the
numbers,
is
only
four
or
five
houses.
I
mean
look
at
that,
but
now
council
has
allowed.
I
think
we
put
a
million
dollars
towards
it
two
years
ago,
a
couple
hundred
thousand
last
year
because
of
the
pandemic
and
we'll
be
putting
another
sizeable
chunk
in
there
and
asking
you
to
approve
that.
So
it's
through
council's
efforts
that
a
lot
of
this
cleanup
is
taking
place.
R
Yes,
sir
director
pruitt
had
a
question
that
was
given
to
me
a
couple
of
days
ago,
a
couple
of
days
ago.
R
If
a
property
is
in
pretty
decent
order,
and
it's
just
sitting
there
not
being
used
and
there's
someone
in
a
nice
way
coming
in
through
the
back
door
and
spending
time
there
and
neighbors
are
complaining
that
the
house
is
empty,
but
someone's
living
there.
What
what
do
we
do
at
that
point?
Did
we
just
report
that
to
you
and
let
you
check
it
out.
AA
Yes,
we
can,
if
there's
any
unsecured,
you
know,
part
of
the
property
maintenance
code
is
all
the
entrances
or
openings
have
to
be
secured.
So
if
the
back
door
has
been
kicked
in
or
windows
busted
out,
they
can
certainly
call
us
and
we
can
get
with
the
homeowners
or
the
property
owners
to
get
those
corrected.
AA
B
F
Your
parade
of
demolish
homes
will
that
be
available
via
youtube
and
where
we
can
share.
F
On
our
social
media
platforms-
and
I
just
want
to
say
kudos
to
you
direct
to
pruitt,
because
I
think
it's
carmel
court
in
district
four-
my
constituent
just
texts
me-
because
evidently
she
saw
it
on
this.
This
meeting-
and
she
said
god
bless
you
because
she
has
been
calling
and
emailing
and
texting
about
that
home
in
particular,
because
the
individual
has
another
home
in
a
whole
nother
district.
F
AA
You
and
the
city
manager-
and
we
have
talked
to
you
know,
is
that
with
the
nine
people
working
on
this
versus
the
three
that
have
done
it
in
the
past
is
we're
gonna.
If
there
are
local
owners,
is
we're
gonna,
be
knocking
on
doors
and
making
phone
calls
and
finding
you
know,
reaching
out
to
these
people
and
really
trying
to
put
the
pressure
on
them
to
clean
up
their
properties.
G
Well,
and
and
you're,
allowing
director
pruitt
to
reorganize
or
restructure
in
the
way
that
you
did
by
with
the
nan
enforcement
officers
and
he
saved
four
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
in
the
process
is
going
to
make
his
office
so
much
more
efficient
that
we
can
start
to
do
a
much
better
job
of
being
proactive
to
get
these
things
cleaned
up.
So
it
saved
4
500
and
it
accomplished
what
he
wanted
to
accomplish,
and
so
we're
getting
great
work
out
of
this
new
director
in
a
very
short
period
of
time
and
kudos
to
him.
S
AA
There
was
there
is:
there
were
two
properties
owned
by
the
land
bank
that
they
received.
I
don't
believe
they
paid
anything
for
them,
so
I've
been
working
with
rob
scott
on
those
properties,
and
I
know
I
believe
they
have
a
board
meeting
coming
up
to
talk
about
those,
so
we
are
working
with.
Obviously
we
want
to
get
those
taken
up
very
very
quickly.
I
believe
the
other
one
was
the
columbus
housing
initiative,
which
is
the
the
neighbor
works
group.
G
S
P
I
Anybody
remembers
mayor,
I'm
sure,
maybe
councilor
crabb
remembers.
There
was
a
time
back.
I
guess,
when
a
lot
of
houses
went
on
the
auction
block,
that
there
were
groups
that
were
going
around
saying,
you
can
make
lots
of
money
if
you
buy
blocks
of
houses
and
they
all
come
in
from
outside
of
columbus,
get
on
a
bus
go
around
next
thing.
You
know
they're
buying,
10,
20,
30
houses,
and-
and
you
know
they
don't
live
here
in
our
community-
and
I
mean
I'm
not.
I
There
are
some
responsible
homeowners
and
business
people
who
make
a
living
doing
this
and
they
do
it
the
right
way,
but
there's
a
lot
of
them,
like
you
said
over
50
on
this
list,
and
I
suspect
that
a
lot
of
these
were
some
of
those
block
houses
that
were
sold
and
they
just
don't
really
care
about
our
community.
And
I'm
just
being
frank,
because
when
you
look
at
it
it
tells
the
story,
so
I've
always
been
concerned
about
that
and
how
we
can
just.
We
just
need
to
put
a
stop
to
that
kind
of
stuff.
I
I
don't
mind
if
they
come
in
people
come
in
and
invest
in
our
community,
but
be
responsible
at
the
same
time,
a
lot
of
these
people
just
kind
of
give
the
keys
back
to
the
bank
or
give
the
keys
back
to
somebody
else.
They're
just
and
nobody
follows
up
on.
Am
I
right
mayor?
I
mean
you,
you
remember
some
of
these
places
that
that
I'm
talking
about
and
it's
so
hard
what's
what's
frustrating
is
it's
so
hard
for
our
staff?
I
It
takes
an
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
to
deal
with
these
things
well
over
a
year
to
deal
with
a
lot
of
these
these
cases.
So
I
just
wish
there
was
a
way
that
we
could
expedite
it.
I'm
sure
that
maybe
the
city
attorney
can
help
us
find
some
ways
legally
to
maybe
expedite
some
of
the
cleanup
or
just
get
these
things
back
on
the
market
somehow,
but
the
city
manager.
If
I
may
there
there's
a
couple
places,
I
was
looking
through
the
list
here.
I
There's
a
couple
places
that
I'd
like
to
bring
to
your
attention.
There's
a
couple
of
them
that
I've
talked
about
for
years.
I
think
they're
still
there
they're
in
the
liberty
district,
I
want
to
say
six
sixth
street
councilor
huff
is
that
is
that
right,
sixth
street
six,
six.
G
I
I
Had
a
massive
amount
of
asbestos
in
it
and
they
got
that
one
taken
care
of
there's
there's
another
one
on
the
that's
been
there
for
a
while
that
I
didn't
see
on
the
list,
it's
only
down
at
the
end
of
23rd
and
fifth
avenue,
23rd
street
and
fifth
avenue,
and
I'm
not
sure
who
owns
that
property,
but
they
have
been
doing
a
little
cleanup.
It's
right
on
veterans,
parkway,
I
mean
right
on
top
of
veterans,
parkway
and
they've
done
a
little
cleanup.
I
There's
a
burnt,
a
house,
that's
burnt
down,
it's
just
been
sitting
there
for
forever.
I
don't!
I
don't
know
what
the
situation
is,
but
maybe
we
can
help
or
or
get
in
there
and
get
involved
to
finish
cleaning
that
area
up
it.
It
is
kind
of
somewhat
an
eyesore
and
then
the
last
one
I
always
see
going
over
to
my
mother's.
I
My
mother-in-law's
house
in
council,
woodson's
district,
I
believe,
is
right
there
before
you
get
right
past
north
lumpkin,
on
the
on
that
side
of
the
road
right
across
from
I
guess:
the
flea
market
there's
old,
it
looked
like
taqueria
or
some
store
that
used
to
be
there.
That's
boarded
up
and
it's
all
the
boards
are
all
people.
I
see
people
coming
and
going
inside.
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
in
there,
but
it's
that
that
building's
falling
apart.
I
You
know
it
really
needs
needs
somebody
to
take
a
look
at
it
before
you
go
over
the
bridge
to
to
go
to
south
lumpkin.
Okay-
and
I
mean
it's
one
of
the
places
that
stands
out
on
on
victory
drive,
I'm
hoping
that
somebody
take
a
closer
look.
We
will
okay
good.
I
really
appreciate
it,
but
thank
you
director,
pruitt,
for
the
work
that
y'all
do
and
again.
AA
Yes,
the
demo
process,
if
it
was
straightforward
from
a
to
z,
would
could
be
done
in
in
less
than
a
year,
but
the
issues
we
have
with
finding
owners
or
making
sure
that
they
get
served
with
proper
notices
or
the
the
property
changing
hands,
and
all
that
you
know,
restarts
the
clock
each
time.
A
majority
of
the
the
demolitions
we
have
the
cases
we
have
now
were
started
in
2018-29.
AA
I
And-
and
I
know
the
members
of
council
knows
this,
but
you
know
we
get
people
that
come
and
ask
us
to
be
a
little
lenient
on
them
and
forgive
them
for
these
type
of
situations.
It's
it's
just.
You
know
the
process
has
gone
for
so
long
and
at
the
11th
hour
they
come
in
and
you
have
to
always
ask
yourself
the
question
you
know:
you've
had
plenty.
You've
had
plenty
of
time
to
get
this
done.
You
know
why.
I
Why
does
it
take
the
11th
hour
when
you
really
know
the
hammer's
fixing
to
come
down
that
you're
might
be
willing
to
do
something
I
mean
I
don't
understand
that
mentality,
but
I
guess
it's
real
and
you
know
that's
a
tough
we've,
always
missed
city
manager.
You've
done
outstanding,
administering
those
type
of
situations,
and
we
kind
of
turn
them
over
to
you
and
let
you
make
sure
that
the
appropriate
measures
are
taking
place.
I
R
Yes,
mr
city
manager,
I've
saw
here
where
we
have
one
property
at
915,
fort
benning
road.
Are
there
any
others
that
we
may
be
able
to
get
to
or
work
out
some
things
on,
beautifying
that
area
around
the
spencer
high
school
and
by
the
time
we
finished
that
streetscape
project
to
kind
of
well.
I
have.
G
Asked
I'm
in
tune
with
that
as
well.
I
I
I
have
asked
staff
to
work
fort
benning
road
people
need
to.
We
got
a
60
million
dollar
school
sitting
there.
We
cannot
have
that,
and
so
I'm
with
you
and
I've,
I've
talked
to
them
about
fort
benning
road.
I've
talked
to
them
just
last
week
about
brennan
road.
Again,
it's
just
all
that
yep
it's
you
know.
G
R
Yeah
my
phone
rings
every
week
concerning
that
area
based
upon
they
were
hoping.
Some
of
the
property
owners
would
step
it
up
a
little
bit
once
the
school
was
completed,
yeah
and
now
that
the
streetscape
is
is
in
the
works,
yeah
we're
hoping
to
get
it,
but
anyway,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
you
yeah.

serve
