This
is
your
City
Council.
B
C
Let's
say
a
prayer
together,
father
I
think
it's
a
great
privilege
to
live
in
this
community
and
it's
not
the
Chattahoochee
River.
It's
not
the
pine
trees.
It's
not
the
business,
it's
the
people
of
this
town.
So
thank
you.
Father
for
the
men
and
women
that
are
in
this
city
council
that
lead
us
pray
that
tonight
you
will
give
them
wisdom,
maybe
even
give
them
a
little
healthy
fear
to
remember
that
the
decisions
that
they
make
will
affect
the
generation.
That's
sitting
in
this
room
that
will
grow
up
and
inherit
this
community.

And
I
have
one
announcement
to
make
on
the
mayor's
agenda,
and
that
is
that
the
census,
2020
kickoff
meeting
will
be
held
next
Wednesday
March
6th
at
10:30
in
the
morning
at
the
library
and
I
would
urge
you
anybody
that
has
the
slightest
bit
of
interest
please
attend
it.
Is
it's
so
critical
that
we
get
as
close
to
an
accurate
count
as
possible.
B
A
lot
of
our
federal
dollars
are
determined
by
the
number
of
people
living
in
our
community,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
accurate
count,
because
that's
how
that's
our
congressional
districts
and
council
districts
in
the
school
school
board
districts
are
decided
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
has
the
same
fair
representation
across
the
board.
So
if
anybody
asks
you
for
your
assistance
with
the
census,
please
help
them
out
and
don't
forget.
B
K
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
mr.
manager,
mr.
attorney
tonight,
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
report
on
an
investigation
of
a
whistleblower
case.
Now
this
is
a
bit
out
of
the
ordinary
because
whistleblower
we
follow
the
state
laws
regarding
the
whistleblower
program
and
we
don't
normally
reveal
the
complainant.
K
We
don't
normally
discuss
the
outcome
publicly,
but
because
this
particular
complaint
was
made
publicly
at
this
forum
on
September
the
11th
and
then
again
in
January
of
this
year,
I
felt
to
compel
that
we
should
present
the
response
to
it
publicly
as
well
as
I
said
earlier.
The
complaint
complainant
appeared
on
both
the
September
11th
in
the
January
22nd
Council
meetings,
public
agenda
and
made
some
complaints
regarding
the
crime
prevention
grant
that
was
made
to
George
Appleseed,
in
particular
their
local
organization.
K
The
complaint
surrounded
the
contractual
obligation
not
being
completed
the
key
operative
quitting
because
he
was
tired
of
being
on
the
road
program,
not
effective
in
stopping
out-of-school
suspensions,
that
the
school
to
Prison
Pipeline
still
exists
and
that
there
was
a
conflict
of
interest
between
a
board
member
and
then
mayor.
Theresa
Tomlinson
I
received
a
request
from
the
former
mayor
Tomlinson
to
perform
the
investigation
and
I
requested
at
that
time
that
the
response
would
be
made
public
as
it
was.
K
The
complaint
was
made
in
public
our
investigative
process
that
I
followed
I
reviewed
the
crime
prevention
program
files
as
it
related
to
the
grantee
I
reviewed
videos
of
the
September
11th
2018
in
the
January
22nd
2019
city
council
meetings
and
reviewed
information
presented
and/or
provided
by
the
complainant
and
consulted
with
the
city
attorney
on
alleged
conflict
of
interest
issues.
I
also
considered
some
extraneous
factors
that
I
felt
have
a
bearing
on
the
outcome
of
success
of
the
program,
since
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
was
challenged
by
the
complainant.
K
One
thing
that's
not
really
considered
in
it
is
the
attrition
of
educators
and
administrators
due
to
promotion's
transfers
and
retirements.
So
the
staff
of
the
school
changes
a
bit
from
year
to
year,
some
years
more
than
others
there's
also
attrition
of
students
due
to
transfers
and
graduation,
has
also
changes
in
the
volume
a
number
of
students
enrolled
in
school
and
there's
also
the
change.
K
Sometimes,
the
level
of
support
in
a
particular
school
is
cut,
as
these
are
conflicting
objectives,
it
would
seem
that
it
would
always
be
that
the
administration
and
the
teachers
would
be
excited
about
a
program
that
would
help
keep
students
in
school,
particularly
at
risk
of
trouble
students,
but
you
have
to
consider
that
their
goals
are
educating
students.
It's
improving
test,
scores,
standardized
test,
SAT
scores,
AC
T,
all
of
those
types
of
things,
and
if
you
have
a
student,
that's
disrupting
the
class,
it
makes
it
more
difficult
to
teach
and
to
cover
with
all
the
materials.
K
So
those
are
all
some
things
that
can
be
affected
on
the
outcome
of
the
program.
I,
looked
at
the
grant
process,
reviewing
the
grant
application,
the
award
of
the
grant
by
the
crime
prevention
board,
the
execution
of
the
contract
by
the
grantee
and
city
officials,
grantee,
submission
of
required
documentation
and
disbursement
of
funds,
monthly
and
grantees
monthly
activity
report.
All
of
these
I
found
to
be
very
thorough
and
complete,
as
I
was
reviewing.
Everything
was
properly
executed
contracts.
K
The
first
key
element
of
the
program
was
to
conduct
positive
behavioral
intervention
and
supports
of
PBIS
praying
to
the
educators
and
administrators,
and
in
doing
that,
the
school
district
actually
decided
determine
their
academic
officer
and
I.
Suppose
the
superintendent
determined
which
schools
would
be
included
in
the
training
and
which
ones
would
not
and
I'll,
show
you
in
a
minute
why
some
would
not
be
included.
You
might
say
why
didn't
they
just
do
them
all?
K
Well,
we
have
some
schools
that
have
virtually
no
suspensions
out
of
school,
a
couple
of
the
high
schools
of
that
way,
and
certainly
many
of
the
elementary
schools
in
category
and
it
just
really
not
cost-effective
to
bring
those
people
in
and
train
them
when
they
don't
have
a
problem.
To
begin
with,
the
PBA
is
training
was
provided
to
educators
and
administrators
during
the
twenty
sixteen
and
seventeen,
and
in
the
twenty
seventeen
eighteen
school
years.
K
Mr.
Teddy
Reis
was
the
operative
for
George,
Appleseed
and
the
local
program.
Here
he
attended
and
led
numerous
meetings,
a
program
sponsored
by
the
schools
community
in
the
Kings
in
constituting
most
of
his
own,
the
road
activity.
So
he
was
on
the
road
alright,
but
he
was
on
the
road
around
town,
much
as
many
of
our
city
officials.
Always
we
have
frequently
have
meetings
and
tried
to
reach
out
to
as
many
people
as
we
can
and
he
was
doing
the
same
related
to
the
communities
where
he
was
serving.
K
He
also
provided
monthly
reports
detailing
the
activities
performed
and
they
were
submitted
as
required
to
the
crime
prevention
director
each
month
now.
I
might
add
that
in
the
beginning,
those
reports
were
only
required
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
actually
George
Appleseed
was
the
first
to
suggest
moving
to
a
monthly
reporting
schedule,
so
that
began
several
years
back.
K
The
community
also
really
benefited
from
the
efforts
of
George
Appleseed,
particularly
the
state
office
and
and
all
the
support,
all
the
attorneys
that
they
have
not
only
on
their
board,
but
pro
bono
attorneys
that
helped
to
reshape
the
juvenile
justice
system
in
the
state
of
Georgia.
Now
you
might
say
well
what
are
you
talking
about?
How
they
reshape
it,
and
mr.
Reese
was
doing
that
locally,
coordinating
with
the
local
juvenile
courts
and
in
the
staff
that
worked
with
it
and
attorneys.
K
What
they
attempted
to
do
was
to
remove
nonviolent
Studer
and
offenses
from
going
to
through
the
juvenile
court
and
let
the
time
be
expended
on
ones
that
were
violent
issues.
By
doing
that,
it
took
a
lot
of
the
people
out
of
the
court
system
and
if
they
don't
go
to
court
they're,
not
going
to
prison
school
administrators,
the
city
manager,
the
mayor,
they
don't
send
people
to
prison.
So
if
you
don't
go
to
court,
it's
not
likely
that
the
students
gonna
end
up
going
to
prison
so
that
helps
to
get
them
back
in
the
program.
K
The
PBIS
training
is
designed
to
create
really
a
code
of
conduct
for
the
schools
and
to
get
in
to
train
and
teach
that,
like
it's
a
class,
you
know
for
the
so
the
teachers
can
teach
it
once
they've
been
instructed
on
it,
and
that
being
said,
it
really
leads
to
having
a
better
behavioral
process
in
the
entire
school
finding
says
we
continue.
There
was
no
conflict
of
interest
in
mr.
Tomlinson,
serving
on
the
board
of
directors
of
Georgia
Appleseed
and
mrs.
Tomlinson.
K
Serving
as
the
mayor
of
the
Columbus
says,
there
was
no
financial
benefit
to
either
party
that
comes
from
the
city
attorney
I'm,
not
making
the
rules
there's
in
it.
There
is
inadequate
post
training
results
to
assess
the
success
of
failure
of
PBIS
training.
I
mean
it
was
just
two
years
of
it
was
just
completed
the
last
school
year.
K
We
only
two-thirds
the
way
through
the
next
school
year,
so
it's
very
difficult
to
even
begin
to
really
evaluate
it
ongoing
now
we
do
know
what
the
differences
were
between
year,
one
of
training
and
year
two
and
many
of
the
schools,
but
most
of
the
schools
that
we
near
one
also
went
back
for
training
year
two,
but
additional
ones.
We
added
and
I
will
say
this.
Some
school
showed
remarkable
improvement.
In
one
year
period,
Midland
middle
school
dropped
from
53
suspensions
to
four
between
one
year
and
the
next.
K
On
the
other
hand,
there
are
some
schools
that
they
actually
increased
a
few.
So
it's
not
you
know
you
just
don't
see
it
that
quickly.
I
think
it
takes
a
while
for
this
to
permeate
and
spread
throughout
the
school
with
once
the
teachers
and
the
administrators
are
trained
and
based
on
our
view,
Georgia
Appleseed
satisfied
all
the
requirements
of
the
grant
awarded
by
the
crime
prevention
program.
B
G
B
L
B
L
B
L
I
B
E
B
B
L
Right
now
that
the
UDL
has
changed,
we
have
a
vote
for
special
exception.
Yeast,
let's
see
if
anybody
wants
to
be
heard,
38:35
forest
road
for
club
or
Lodge.
Anybody
in
the
audience
the
petitioner
with
flow
noise
here
I,
don't
see
any
other
questions
all
right.
That
is
ready
for
a
vote
mayor,
okay,.
B
L
M
M
Judge
hunter
is
the
full-time
judge,
of
course,
and
holds
most
of
the
courts,
but
he
can
call
on
any
one
of
these
five
to
do
additional
court,
for
example,
Saturday
court
or
the
environmental
Court
sort
of
thing.
They
only
are
paid
when
they
actually
are
holding
court
and
I
believe
if
I
remember
it's
like
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
a
session
or
something
like
that
they
do,
they
will
have
to
have
have
to
go
to
the
training
that
all
judges
of
this
type
have
to
take
state
training.
M
G
M
M
She
she
has
had
some
training
I'm,
not
sure
how
often
it
has
to
be
renewed
or
whatever.
So
we
may
be
coming
back
to
you
at
a
later
date
for
budgetary,
but
they
have
to
have
the
training,
so
we'll
have
to
come
back
to
you
at
that
point.
So,
having
said
all
that
I
move
approval
of
the
resolution
motion.
B
M
B
L
L
You
and
may
our
last
official
item
tonight
is
asking
the
local
legislative
delegation
to
the
General
Assembly
to
introduce
legislation
to
clarify
the
chapter
four
of
title
36.
Those
requirements
are
not
applicable
to
consolidated
governments.
If
any
of
you
know
that
study
Georgia
history.
About
a
150
years
ago,
the
Georgia
General
Assembly
looked
at
where
our
County
sites
and
county
courthouses
were
located.
B
B
Just
so
that
there's
no
no
confusion
if,
in
fact,
it
is
decided
that
at
some
point,
part
or
all
of
the
construction
will
take
place
off
off
the
site
where
it
now
sits
so
and
I
still
have
to
get
in
touch
with
a
couple
of
the
legislative,
some
of
our
legislative
delegation
just
a
little
notes
coming,
but
it's
kind
of
I
guess
we
need
to
get
this
taken
care
of
this
house
clean
housekeeping
measure
done
ahead
of
time,
so
we
don't
run
into
problems
later.
That's.
L
N
N
L
I
B
B
B
I
I
Teresa
El
Amin,
3911
steam,
Mill,
Road
and
I
do
have
22
handouts
so
that
everybody
has
what
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about.
Well,
first
of
all,
I
think
that
was
a
scandalous
whitewash
from
the
internal
auditor.
I
started
working
with
the
school
district
on
the
school
to
Prison
Pipeline
in
2011,
Georgia
Appleseed
called
me
and
I
invited
them
in
they
did
all
kinds
of
public
events
about
the
out-of-school
suspensions.
I
My
complaint
suburb
summary
my
objective
for
filing
a
complaint
about
crime
prevention.
Grants
to
Georgia
Appleseed
is
to
seek
corrective
action
on
practices
inside
the
crime
prevention
department
that
are
overly
subjective
and
unethical.
It
was
common
knowledge
that
Tripp
Tomlinson,
Theresa
Tomlinson
spouse,
was
on
the
board
of
Georgia
Appleseed.
When
Georgia
Appleseed
began
receiving
crime
prevention
funds,
Tripp
Tomlinson
remained
on
the
Georgia
Appleseed
board
until
2016.
Perhaps
it
was
coincidental
that
2016
was
the
last
year
Georgia
Appleseed
applied
for
funding.
I
At
the
end
of
that
last
year
of
crime
prevention,
funding,
Georgia
Appleseed
pulled
out
of
her
Columbus
completely
in
June
2017
Georgia
Appleseed
staff
associated
with
crime
prevention
funding,
resigned
in
June
2017
or
announced
their
plans
to
leave
Sharon
Hill
who
signed
the
contract,
which
clearly
stated
the
contract
was
for
personnel
and
office
supplies.
Strict
overhead
is
the
contract
that
you
all
voted
for
in
2016.
It's
clear
I
gave
you
a
copy
of
it.
Sharon
Hill,
the
principal
officer
inside,
are
on
all
the
crime
prevention
contracts.
I
Told
me
her
plans
to
move
on
at
a
meeting
on
June
7th
2017
when
we
were
in
Macon
Georgia
at
a
meeting,
because
I
was
working
with
Georgia,
Appleseed
and
I
know
that
mr.
wells
hopefully
he's
here.
He
had
nothing
to
do
with
any
of
this
and
I'm
hoping
to
build
a
relationship
with
Georgia
Appleseed
so
that
they
can
do
what
I
know
they're
capable
of
doing
to
support
ending
the
school.
I
To
Prison
Pipeline
I
complain
directly
to
Sharon
Hill
because
they
took
over
three
hundred
and
eighty-seven
thousand
dollars
over
four
years
of
our
tax
dollars.
Sales
tax
dollars,
that's
what
they
did
and
what
they
should
have
known
is
that
the
school
district,
it's
resistant,
so
the
objective
reality
is
the
school
district
will
not
do
what
Georgia
Appleseed
was
trying
to
get
them
to
do.
They
should
have
quit
long
ago,
because
that
objective
reality
was
there
I
have
given
you
reports
of
the
Alice
suspensions
and
the
person
who
was
here
talking
about
it.
I
It
is
a
process
that
I
worked
on
in
2004
in
Durham.
They
didn't
start
the
process
here
to
2014
and
they
add
ten
schools
each
year.
They
still
don't
have
all
the
schools
in
the
program
and
I
have
been
struggling
with
them
over
that
and
I
went
to
all
of
the
meetings.
All
of
the
meetings,
so
I'll
read
my
corrective
action
for
the
record.
I
What
I'm
proposing
is
a
crime
prevention
department,
create
clear
conflict
of
interest
guidelines
and
have
all
crime
prevention
board
members
complete
and
sign
annually,
stating
their
employer
who
pays
them
and
all
affiliations
with
nonprofits
crime
prevention
board.
Members
must
recuse
themselves
on
grants,
and
so,
if
your
best
friend
is
getting
a
grant,
you
should
not
vote
on
and
mr.
house.
If
our
grant
gets
that
far
and
that
comes
up
this
year,
you
will
recuse
yourself,
you
would
recuse
yourself
because
that's
the
way
it
should
be.
I
So
you
have
the
other
items
here
and
I
have
given
a
copy
to
folks
and
I'll,
give
a
copy
to
mr.
wells
but
I'm,
trying
to
correct
the
problems
in
the
department
that
we
know
aren't
right
and
I
hear
the
city's
attorneys
opinion.
But
you
want
to
remove
any
appearance
of
impropriety
and
having
your
husband
on
the
board
and
you're,
giving
out
on
the
man's
agenda
almost
$400,000.
It's
a
problem.
Thank.
B
P
P
I
spoke
with
mr.
Reese
and
asked
him
to
name
five
schools
that
he
worked
very
closely
with
in
the
Muscogee
County
School
District.
He
made
off
the
top
of
his
head.
Rothschild
Carver,
Kendrick,
brewer
and
Baker
I
looked
up
each
of
these
schools.
Each
of
these
schools,
the
out-of-school
suspension
rate,
has
dropped
from
2014
to
the
present
Rothschild
23%
to
21%.
Carver
has
gone
down
from
25%
to
12.8%.
P
Kendrick
dropped
from
27%
to
25%
Brewer,
12
percent
to
7
percent
and
Baker
51
percent
to
42
percent.
Mr.
Reese
had
over
a
hundred
meetings
across
Columbus
as
part
of
this
grant
public
meetings
with
the
schools
with
community
leaders
and
really
gave
the
charge
of
how
PBIS
could
impact
schools
in
Columbus
and
for
those
schools
that
embrace
PBIS.
There
has
been
significant
improvement.
Mr.
P
Reese
also
and
Georgia
Appleseed
worked
with
the
Columbus
school
district
or
the
Muscogee
School
District
to
apply
for
a
Project
Aware
mental-health
grant
from
the
United
States
government,
which
Muskogee
was
one
of
only
three
school
districts
in
the
state.
To
get
that
grant,
it
was
a
2.5
million
dollar
grant
and
Project
Aware
has
been
in
in
place
since
since
that
time
and
I
think
2015
and
maybe
2014,
which
is
focused
on
behavioral
health.
Mental
health
services
for
children
in
Columbus,
schools
and
I
know
because
I
come
from
a
background
of
mental
health
advocacy.
P
How
important
those
project
to
where
grants
are
and
what
a
difference
they're
making
in
Muskogee
and
new
Griffin
Spaulding,
which
of
the
three
school
districts
and
they
really
have
been
the
springboard
for
a
transformation
across
this
state
of
getting
behavioral
health
services
into
schools
and
students
and
governor
Diehl,
embraced
school-based
behavioral
health
and
governor
kemp
has
now
asked
for
8.3
million
dollars
to
go
to
school
based
mental
health
services.
In
this
legislative
session.
There
are
a
lot
of
incredible
benefits
that
are
happening
across
this
state
that,
in
part,
started
with
seeds
planted
here
in
Columbus.
P
We
also
created
a
toolkit
so
that
you
can
go
to
Georgia
apple
seeds
website
and
look
at
every
school
in
Muskogee,
county
school
district
and
look
at
the
out-of-school
suspension
rates
for
the
last
ten
years.
You
can
look
at
it
by
race
by
gender
by
special
education
status
and
monitor
how
the
schools
are
doing
yourself
and
that's
something
that
Teddy
worked
with
local
citizens
throughout
Muscogee
County
to
make
sure
that
citizens
knew
how
they
can
be
looking
at
how
particular
schools
were
doing
in
this
area.
As
mr.
P
Redmond
said,
we
also
did
a
lot
of
the
research
for
a
reform
of
the
juvenile
code
here
and
learned
a
lot
from
Muskogee
built
a
very
close
relationship
and
ultimately
worked
with
Governor
deal
to
get
a
complete
rewrite
of
the
juvenile
code
passed
through
the
legislature
and
it
passed
unanimously,
and
we
are
so
grateful
for
the
for
the
work
in
what
happened
here
in
Muskogee
County.
We
recently
did
an
assessment
of
how
the
code
is
doing
five
years
into
it
and
it's
not
surprising
results.
P
It
essentially
said
that
for
those
districts
that
really
invested
in
the
juvenile
code
reform,
it's
making
a
huge
difference,
but
it's
all
about
sort
of
the
interventions
and
some
services
and
supports
you
can
provide
to
children,
and
our
work
here
has
been
a
springboard
for
this
state,
but
also
for
this
community.
We're
very
proud
of
it.
I
encourage
you
to
both
go
to
our
website.
Georgia
Apple
states
website
and
also
go
to
the
governor's
K
through
12
dashboard
and
really
monitor
how
the
schools
are
doing
on
out
of
school
suspensions,
but
I'm.
P
B
Q
Two
things
and
just
hearing
and
trying
to
understand
this
over
time,
I
think
that,
maybe,
as
it
relates
to
a
school
district,
it
might
need
to
review
these
matters
a
little
bit
more
in
the
future.
This
is
not
that's
not
what
we
do,
but
possibly
review
these
these
programs
a
little
better
and
certainly
get
them
gain
their
approval
on.
Q
The
second
thing
is
the
miss
Ella
main
brought
a
recommendation,
I'd
like
to
have
that
read
into
the
record
or
recommendation
and
a
copy
of
that
forwarded
to
the
director
of
crime
prevention,
where
they
can
take
that
matter
up.
I
think
it's
a
great
I
think
it's
a
pretty
solid
recommendation,
because
we,
this
body
I,
know
councillor
Thomas.
You
know
we
worked
almost
a
year
dealing
with
this
to
get
a
structure
in
place
of
accountability
and
and
what
I
heard
her
say
is
just
adding
to
it.
Q
So
I
don't
see
it
hurting
I
see
it
as
a
as
a
very
positive
recommendation
and
should
be
looked
at
and
reviewed,
and
if
we
don't
do
it
already,
it's
not
being
done
and
maybe
look
how
to
how
to
blend
it
or
to
to
incorporate
it
into
the
structure
as
it
is.
Accountability,
structure
and
I'm.
Sure
the
our
city
auditor
will
make
sure
that
that
recommendation
is
looked
at
closely
as
well.
All.
B
Right,
thank
you
and
I.
You
know
I.
Think,
there's
absolutely!
As
the
as
our
city
attorney
men
made
note.
There
there's
no
indication
at
all
of
any
conflict
of
interest.
However,
the
celimene
does
bring
up
a
good
point
and
since
the
counselor
has
asked
that
we
passed
that
on
I
think
it
you
know
just
to
maintain
all
semblance
of
propriety
so
that
we're
above
question
in
the
future
I
think
it's
a
very
valid
request
coming
from
Miss
el
alamein
through
a
counselor.
So
mr.
B
R
S
B
R
C
B
R
B
B
M
R
L
R
B
R
And
mr.
mayor
will
fade
in
that
they
are
going
to
put
light
in
on
fields
six
through
eight
at
South
Cummins,
there,
Musco
lighting
and
and
just
for
clarification,
the
subordination
agreement,
because
it's
financed
by
the
Sports
Council
Musco
lighting
would
have
first
rights
of
Sports
Council
fails
to
pay
to
claim
the
lights
and
then,
of
course,
we
would
have
second
position,
but
we
know
that
that's
not
going
to
happen.
Okay,
thank
you.
S
B
R
Reads
through
them,
mr.
mayor
I've
got
flatbed
dump
trucks.
There
are
three
of
them
that
we're
asking
your
approval.
We've
got
a
contract
amendment
for
public
transit
needs
assessment.
We
you
know,
we
told
you
we
were
going
to
come
back
annually
after
looking
at
routes
to
make
sure
they
were
most
efficient
with
a
twenty
two
point:
four
million
dollars,
Chiefs
lost
money
and
we've
got
Adobe
licensing,
subscription,
renewal,
fee
tasks
for
two
to
four
engineering
services
for
infantry
road
and
follow
me
trail.
That's
a
new
infantry
road.
R
B
R
D
D
Okay,
so
what
you
had
before
you
is
the
monthly
financial
snapshot
as
of
January
2019
I'm,
just
starting
at
the
top
right
of
the
snapshot
when
comparing
January
2019
to
January
2018,
the
general
fund
is
up
three
point:
zero,
four
percent,
the
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
Fund,
is
up
six
point.
Three
two
percent
storm
water
sewer
fund
is
up
one
point:
eight
five
percent
a
paving
fund
is
up
2.90%.
D
The
Medical
Center
fund
is
up
two
point:
zero,
nine
percent.
The
integrated
waste
Sun
is
up
six
point:
zero,
one
percent.
The
emergency
telephone
phone
is
up
ten
point.
Eight
zero
percent,
the
Economic
Development
Authority
fund
is
up
two
point:
zero,
nine
percent
debt
service
fund
is
up
seven
point,
one
five
percent
and
that
difference
is
just
due
to
timing
of
some
internal
transfers.
We
transfer
some
debt
service
payments,
some
newer
debt
service
payments
to
that
to
this
fund
in
January
that
were
not
in
place
in
J,
we're
2018.
D
So
that's
why
it's
more
than
that's
why
that
particular
fund
is
a
seven
point.
One
five
percent
on
transportation
fund
is
up
two
point:
three,
seven
percent
the
trace
and
a
fund
is
up
six
point.
One
six
percent,
Bull
Creek
Golf
Course
fund
is
down
one
point:
two
nine
percent,
the
Oxbow
Creek
Golf
Course
fund
is
up
nine
point.
Three
four
percent
and
the
Civic
Center
fund
is
down
one
point:
seven,
two
percent
moving
down
to
snapshot
to
the
O,
the
Local
Option
Sales,
Tax
Fund,
the
public
safety
revenues
are
geared
at
about
twelve
point.
D
Nine
million
expenditures
year
to
date
is
about
thirteen
point,
nine
million
or
about
fourteen
million
dollars
the
other
local
option.
Sales
tax
infrastructure
revenues
are
about
5.5
million
and
expenditures
to
date
are
eight
point:
eight
million
moving
to
the
left
side
of
the
snapshot
you'll
see
highlighted
there.
Two
departments
that
are
currently
on
our
watch
list
remaining
percentage
goal
for
f1
I
team
is
to
be
above
42
percent
or
to
have
expended
no
more
than
58%,
so
you'll
see
here,
highlighted
as
the
city
attorney's
litigation
and
again
with
defense,
still
defending
several
million
in
claims.
D
The
information
technology
department-
that's
just
due
to
the
timing
of
annual
fees
for
various
software
software
leases
and
maintenance
agreements.
The
employee
benefits
is
highlighted
here,
but
that
is
just
due
to
our
annual
death
and
major
disability
payments.
That
is
a
once-a-year
payment.
That
is
pretty
much
the
bulk
of
the
budget
for
this
particular
division
and
so
I,
don't
anticipate
there'll,
be
any
over
budget
issues
for
this
department
on
real
estate
is
on
the
watch
list
and
that's
just
due
to
our
building
and
maintenance
and
repairs
currently
and
as
council
approved
the
budget
tonight.
D
The
budget
amendment
for
f119
tonight
I'll
make
some
budget
adjustments
here
for
this,
but
this
is
primarily
due
to
legacy
Terrace
and
some
of
the
repairs
that
we've
had
to
make
at
Legacy
Terrace.
So
on
these
this
they
should
come
off
the
watch
list
in
February
so
elections,
the
Department
of
Elections
came
to
Council
recently
to
request
additional
funding.
Obviously
that's
why
they're
highlighted
here-
and
it's
particularly
due
to
the
runoff
election
that
took
place
in
December,
but
Council
agreed
to
the
over
budget
appropriation
appropriations
for
elections,
so
both
they'll
stay
on
the
watch
list.
D
The
jury
manager
is
listed
here
and
again.
This
is
primarily
due
to
the
jury,
the
petty
jury
fees,
as
well
as
the
subscription
services,
that's
paid
out
of
the
jury
managers,
budget
for
the
jury
pool,
and
then
we
have
the
public
defender's
department
here
on
the
watch
list,
and
that
is
just
due
to
the
monthly
contract
that
we
pay
to
the
state.
We
pay
that
contract
one
month
in
advance,
so
they'll
always
for
the
most
part,
be
on
our
watch
this,
although
I.
G
D
D
R
R
R
I
recall
one
day:
I
went
by
and
stopped
at
Metro
and
asked
about
parking
enforcement.
I
was
alarmed
that
we
didn't
have
any
employees
at
work.
They
were
all
out
for
various
reasons,
and
so
on
many
days
during
last
fiscal
year
and
prior
to
last
fiscal
year,
there
was
really
no
parking
enforcement
going
on
and
and
so
I
suggested
to
them,
that
we
reorganize
parking
enforcement
and
we
hire
using
the
same
funding
that
would
apply
to
three
full-time
employees.
R
Much
like
you
see
on
TV
and
they're
doing
an
awesome
job
and
some
people
don't
like
it.
But
if
you
exceed
the
time
limit,
I
mean
they're
out
there,
working
where
they
may
be
accustomed
to
one
enforcement
officer
be
in
some
way
around
in
the
district
or
none
working,
and
you
just
exceed
the
limit.
Well,
you
can't
do
that
now,
because
there's
always
that
number
working
and
so
I
wanted
to
highlight
that,
because
you
know
you,
you
saw
the
parking
enforcement
piece
in
the
newspaper
and
I
know.
R
The
media
has
asked
questions
about
a
parking
enforcement
well
they're
out
there
working
and
they're
doing
their
jobs,
and
so
but
the
good
news
is
that
parking
enforcement
revenue
is
up.
32%
general
fund
revenue
is
up
3%
and
sales
tax
collection.
We've
not
been
able
to
say
this
in
pre
prior
years.
Sales
tax
collection
year
today
is
up
six
percent,
and
so
thank
you
for
the
fan
job
that
you're
doing
Angelica.
G
B
S
R
D
Yes,
I,
am
you
can't
currently
pay
for
a
parking
citation
online
and
what
the
city
manager
is
referring
to?
Back
in
December
council
approved
our
banking
services
contract,
as
well
as
our
merchant
services
contract,
and
we
have
hooked
up
with
the
vendor
in
court.
They
are
able
to
they're
going
to
provide
to
us
merchant
services
at
no
cost
to
the
city,
so
we'll
be
able
to
implement.
D
We'll
have
the
ability
to
offer
more
credit
card
payment
services
at
various
locations.
They
will
provide
all
the
hardware
that
we
need
to
implement
this
service
and
they
also
are
able
to
provide
web
payment
services.
That
is
something
that
is
still
in
a
work
in
progress
across
the
board,
but
parking
citations
can
definitely
be
paid
online.
Currently,
as
well
as
you
need
tickets,
citations
and
recorders.
S
R
Bull
Creek
and
believe
that
is
on
the
internal
auditors
I
think
he
left
miss
mr.
mayor
Bull,
Creek,
Golf,
Course
you're,
referring
to
okay.
I
will
tell
you
now,
of
course
you
want
something
new,
but
years
ago,
a
few
years
back,
he
did
do
one,
and
we
heard
him
mention
an
audit
for
Bull
Creek.
So
I
know
that
that's
okay.
R
S
R
T
O
R
O
R
B
It
at
the
request
of
some
counselors.
We
we
were
asked
if
we
could
get
the
auditor
I
know.
Counselor
house
and
counselor
Crabbe
had
brought
it
up
about
just
taking
a
look
at
the
process,
just
kind
of
in
the
normal
course
of
business
and
in
making
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
need
to
do
because
I
don't
know
that
we've
looked
at
in
a
while.
So
yes
ma'am
they
are
they're.
Gonna.
Look
at
the
the
process
for
procurement.
T
Yes,
so
resurfacing,
since
FY
15,
we
have
expended
2.6
out
of
Oh
lost
2
million
out
of
the
paving
fund,
and
this
is
specifically
for
resurfacing
as
well
as
2.3
million
of
T
spots
discretionary
and
we
currently
have
3.8
million
in
a
current
contract.
We're
working
on
Savannah
a
street,
a
complete
reconstruction
of
Savannah
at
I
believe
that's
about
five
hundred
thousand
on
Savannah
532,000
on
Savannah,
as
well
as
a
whole
list
of
streets.
Totaling
11
miles.
That's
currently
being
resurfaced.
That's
a
total
of
ten
point.
Seven,
approximately
62
miles
since
fy15.
T
Our
transportation
projects
currently
managing
nine
locally
totaling
about
40
million
dollars,
three
managed
by
G
dot,
which
is
tablet
enroll,
Veterans
Parkway
north
and
the
u.s.
27
Custer
Road,
interchange,
Veterans,
Parkway,
north
is
finishing
up
thankfully,
and
table
tune
is
making
really
good
progress.
We
have
one
active
bridge
project
currently
being
managed
and
we
have
19
projects
estimated
about
40
million
dollars
that
are
under
development.
T
These
are
our
nine
active
projects.
I
gave
a
trail
update,
which
we
covered.
The
follow
me
trail,
bib,
Mill,
City
mill,
the
Fort
Bend
Road
streetscapes,
and
the
MLK
trail,
so
I
won't
cover
those.
This
evening.
The
other
projects
force
road
phase.
One
has
basically
completed
we'll
be
scheduling.
A
dedication
for
Mayor
Pro
Tem
Pugh
on
Forest
Road
have
a
big
celebration
for
that
went
and
roads
streets
cases
wrapping
up.
We
should
have
that
completed
soon
and
we'll
be
scheduling
a
dedication
for
that
project
as
well.
The
Fort
Benning
Road
roundabout.
T
If
you've
been
out
to
that
area,
you
can
tell
it's
under
major
construction
with
the
realignment
with
Brennan
Road,
as
well
as
MLK,
resurfacing.
I.
Think
when
I
put
this
presentation
together
several
weeks
ago,
the
resurfacing
wasn't
completed,
but
it
is
completed
and
they'll
come
back
next
month
with
the
striping,
as
well
as
the
River
Road
Bradley
Park
roundabout.
That
is
definitely
well
under
construction.
T
G
T
Hopefully,
we'll
be
able
to
do
some
of
the
work
more
worked,
closing
down
the
road
when
school's
out
over
the
summer
and
kind
of
get
a
head
start
on
some
of
that,
but
we're
looking
at
it
just
over
another
year
for
that
the
win
Avesta
Road
spider
web
project.
This
is
a
48
million
dollar
project.
It's
currently
under
design.
The
right-of-way
is
under
way,
so
we're
making
good
progress
on
the
spider
web
project.
This
was
a
TC
post
project.
B
Me
gypsy
manager,
counselor
thank.
V
T
T
T
V
T
V
T
T
So
the
Wynn
Avista
I,
85
interchange-
this
is
under
design.
G
Dodd
is
working
on
acquiring
right
away.
At
this
point,
it's
a
40
million
dollar
project
and
again
that
is
a
t
sports
project.
This
will
be
a
diverging
diamond
which
will
be
new
to
Columbus
but
actually
helps
traffic
flow,
much
better
yeah
and.
R
M
There
are
a
couple
in
atlanta,
I've
been
on
several
of
them
and
the
two
that
I,
like
the
most
lead
to
shopping
centers.
So
you
know
you
may
want
to
put
that
in
your
in
your
plan,
but
it
really
is,
as
you
say
it,
it
alleviates.
So
many
concerns
at
interchanges
like
this.
It
really
is
a
a
good
deal
and
Pam
at
some
point
in
this.
Would
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
complaints
that
I'm
sure
other
councillors
heard
also
when
our
citizens
say
nobody's
working
on
that
road?
M
G
T
And
kiss
Cedar
Road
I
85
interchange.
This
is
a
58
million
dollar
project.
Again
this
is
just
a
one
of
the
concepts
we
have
received:
approval
from
federal
highways
for
this
intersection,
so
that
is
one
hurdle
that
has
been
accomplished
and
they're
continuing
to
work
on
those
design
plans
currently
so
we're
at
a
total
of
about
226
million
dollars
worth
of
projects
either
under
design
or
under
construction.
Currently,
so.
T
B
W
W
There
are
a
lot
of
are
cuts,
and,
if
you
saw
in
this
report,
there's
a
round
about
being
considered
if
that
int
to
round
abouts
I
believe
out
there,
and
so
they
requested
to
have
a
meeting
with
the
do
two
commissioners,
Lynn
Westmoreland
and
Jonah
Floyd,
and
the
zoo
manager
appreciate
your
interaction
and
offering
to
try
to
facilitate
a
meeting
with
them,
and
so
I
just
want
for
those
listening.
I
just
want
to
mention
that
and
that
that
is
underway,
and
we
will
hope
to
have
that
meeting
soon.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
T
And
as
councillor
allen
said,
there
are
two
proposed
roundabouts
at
beaver
run
in
macon
road
as
well
as
macon
road
in
Lynch
Road,
and
these
are
both
G
dot
project
says
beaver
run.
Road
is
G
dot
route
and
I'm
not
gonna
go
through
these
individually,
but
this
is
just
a
list
of
projects
that
are
under
development
or
design.
The
Benning
Road
bridge
Reece
Road
bridge
at
Cooper,
Creek,
Clarendon
bridge
the
infantry
Road
and
trail,
which
we
had
an
item
on
the
agenda
tonight,
10th
Street,
Plaza
MOT
screen.
T
Again
we
had
an
item
on
the
agenda
moving
these
forward.
Fortson
Road,
Williams,
Road
intersection
they'll,
be
around
about
at
that
intersection
and
then
we're
again
still
working
on
the
Liberty
district
rail
connection.
As
there's
other
trail
connections,
so
I
didn't
specifically
go
through
trail
connections.
We
had
a
separate
presentation
on
that.
So
I
didn't
cover
trails
this
evening
and
to
address
councillor
Thomas
is
concerned.
T
We
do
hear
those
same
complaints
that
they
drive
by
and
they
don't
feel
that
works
being
done
and-
and
there
is
something
being
done,
they
just
might
not
see
it
again
at
the
spiderweb
there's
a
lot
of
right
away
acquisition
going
on
in
demolition
of
those
facilities,
so
there's
not
actual
roadwork
there's
a
lot
of
preliminary
things
that
have
to
be
accomplished
before
the
actual
before
they'll
actually
see
constructions.
There's
a
utility
coordination
to
locate
utilities
in
the
area,
and
so
until
construction
starts.
T
There's
a
lot
of
behind
the
scenes
as
items
that
are
going
on
and
I
know,
we
received
quite
a
few
complaints
about
the
Veterans
Parkway
North
project
and
and
seemingly
that
it
was
at
a
standstill.
That
was
a
G
dot,
managed
project.
And
it's
you
know.
As
soon
as
we
received
a
complaint,
we
would
forward
that
to
G
dot
for
them
to
respond
directly
to
those
citizens
for
any
complaint
that
they
had
I
know.
T
Councillor
house
gave
us
an
issue
that
was
happening
with
the
striping,
where
the
left
turn
lanes
were
I,
think
too
close
together,
and
so
they
went
out
immediately
and
made
that
correction.
So
again,
as
citizens
have
questions
or
or
concerns,
please
notify
us.
You
can
contact
3-1-1
and
we'll
make
sure
that
they
get
a
response.
I.
M
Know
too
that
sometimes
there
are
other
issues
that
affect
the
construction.
The
weather,
you
know,
supplies
those
kinds
of
things,
and
it's
not
always
easy
to
to
know
that
there
is
something
going
on
we're
waiting
for
the
you
know
the
road
to
dry
out,
if
you
will
before
but
I
guess,
I
guess
what
I
want
is
for
citizens
to
be
reassured
that
those
folks
are
not
just
sitting
there
twiddling
their
thumbs.
There
is
something
happening,
maybe
behind
the
scenes
where
you
can't
actually
see
it,
but
if
they
have
a
question,
certainly
3-1-1
or
our.
T
Contact
us
directly
engineering
department,
training,
department
or
myself
will
be
happy
to.
If
we
don't
know
the
answer
we'll
be
happy
to
get
the
answer
for
them.
Perfect
example
on
MLK
is
the
signals
we
are
on
backorder
for
the
black
powder-coated
signal,
poles
that
won't
be
in
until
June,
and
so
it
looks
like
it's
kind
of
an
unfinished
project
right
now
and
it
it
is,
but
we're
waiting
on
on
those
polls.
So
we
can
complete
those
signals
that
those
two
intersections
so
citizens
have
questions.
Please
feel
free
to
call
great
thank.
G
Q
Not
followed
wires,
hang
in
just
a
myriad
of
sure
matters
and
issues
pertaining
to
pertain
to
all
these
utility
companies
that
that
we
deal
with
the
franchise
agreement,
and
you
know
they
asked
what
can
be
done-
I'd
like
to
have
that
discussion
in
public,
so
we
can
address
that
what
can
be
done
and
how
to
bring
it
to
the
attention
of
the
city
and
and
and
and
even
what
I'd
like
to
be
reminded
of
what
these
utility
companies
are
responsible
for
and
working
in
the
cities
right
away.
Okay,.
B
Interesting
that,
over
the
last
couple
of
meetings,
we've
had
some
discussions
about
things
that
we
don't
typically
talk
about
like
potholes,
and
then
we
talked
about
the
pace
of
construction.
I
think
it
is
important
that
people
understand
that
there's,
there's
typically
a
reason
why
we're
not
getting
out
there
as
timely
and
there's
a
reason
whether
it's
weather
or
it's.
You
know,
temperature
or
the
availability
asphalt,
there's
a
reason
why
the
potholes
aren't
fixed
and
you
know
we
got.
We
have
really
some
some
amazing
employees,
some
terrific
employees
and
they're.
B
G
R
Mayor
I
wanted
one
a
deputy
city
manager,
Hodge
to
just
kind
of
repeat
the
dollar
value
and
and
the
work
that's
going
on
related
to
roads
throughout
our
city
and
and
as
she
was
talking
and
I
was
thinking.
If
you
think
about
it,
we've
got
work
going
on
with
roads
all
over
town,
north,
south,
east
and
west,
and
she
just
shared
with
you
the
money,
the
amount
of
money
that's
going
to
be
spent
on
a
one,
a
two
five
around
Buena
Vista
Road
and
then
an
interchange
at
casita.
R
Road
we've
got
work
going
on
on
Winton
Road,
the
streets
case.
We've
we've
got
work
at
veterans
and
Fortson
Road
and
Williams
Road
and
Moon
Road
and
River
Road
roundabout.
We
talked
about
Forest
Road
tonight,
we've
got
streetscapes
going
on
at
Fort,
Benning,
Road
and
streetscapes
on
what
Luther
King
jr.
Boulevard
and
we
got
Tov
it
and
Road
and
we've
got
Reese
world
work
in
you
know
and
and-
and
the
list
goes
on
and
on
and
on
and
I
say
that,
so
that
people
will
hear
this,
but
north-south-east-west
I
mean
we've
got
road
projects.
R
Rope
work
going
on
to
improve
our
transportation
system,
all
over
the
city
and
and
and
no
one
can
say
that
there's
nothing
going
on
in
South
Columbus
and
it's
all
going
on
at
North
Columbus.
You
just
heard
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
that's
being
spent
on
the
south
side
of
town,
but
it's
not
just
there.
But
it's
you
know
it's
just
all
over
town
and
I
just
wanted
to
pause
to
just
remind
us,
because
you
know
we
don't
think
about
it
and
we're
not
everywhere,
but
to
remand
those
here
and
watching
by
television.
M
Wanted
to
remind
Council
from
week
when
we
started
talking
about
a
lawsuit
and
the
infrastructure,
roads
and
infrastructure
for
Olas,
one
of
the
the
things
that
was
brought
to
our
attention
was:
we
have
about
a
thousand
miles
of
road
in
Muskogee
County,
and
we
ought
to
be
doing
you
know
so
many
miles
a
year
to
resurface
to
keep
that
updated.
Our
concern
is
our
problem
is
that
we
don't
have
the
money
to
do
that
as
quickly
sometimes
as
it
should
be
done.
M
But
what
we
do
have
are
people
who
are
more
than
willing
to
go
out
and
take
a
look
and
see.
Does
this
road
need
to
be
moved
up
the
list
or
whatever?
But
if
money
were
no
object,
we'd
be
doing
about
a
hundred
miles
of
road
a
year,
but
money
isn't
object,
and
so
we
can't
do
that
kind
of
work.
But
don't
I
remember
about
a
thousand
miles
in
Muskogee
County
of
paved
road
yeah
somewhere.
M
B
B
L
B
X
Evening,
good
evening,
you
can
give
me
mr.
mayor
members
of
council.
Let
me
take
a
point
of
personal
privilege
to
remind
you
of
something
else
before
I
get
start
with
this.
This
Thursday
night
at
5:30,
at
the
Government
Center
annex
at
420,
10th
Street.
We
will
be
holding
a
public
hearing
that
council
with
mass,
considering
about
amending
the
you
do
to
allow
special
exception
uses
in
the
historic
district
for
health
facility
events
in
the
like.
X
We
will
have
that
meeting,
of
course,
so
when
we
show
the
viewing
public
are
aware,
they
and
reminded
that
fact
is
will
so
that
is
coming
Thursday
at
5:30
at
the
Government
Center
annex
I've
been
asked
to
come
tonight
and
share
with
you
an
update
about
the
2020
census.
I
have
a
short
presentation.
It
got
shorter,
though,
when
the
mayor
still
got
my
Thunder
wall.
Sorry
about
the
census,
though,
don't
I
apologize,
I'll.
B
X
Wrong,
we
propose
give
this
to
back
in
January.
We
just
we're
not
you
do
that.
This
is
what
you
really
need
to
know
about
the
census
tonight
and
where
and
where
we're
going
with
more
anything
else.
First
and
foremost
is
in
the
Constitution
that
requires
that
every
the
census
requires
every
ten
years
everybody's
gets
counted
so
that
that's
that's
the
reason
we're
doing
it.
We're
do
it
every
ten
years
we
did
in
2010
now
we're
getting
ready
to
get
do
it
in
2020,
and
we
say
here
the
first
census
is
back
in
1790.
X
Everyone
really
counts.
This
is
important,
also
involve
that
the
census
counts.
Every
living
person
in
the
US
and
I
failed
to
start
off
this
think
properly,
because
I
want
to
say
this
to
you
as
well:
every
department
head
every
governmental
entity
organization,
whether
comes
up
here
in
stand
before
you
and
says
this
is
the
most
important
thing
you
need
to
hear
I
do
that
in
times,
but
you
need
to
understand
I'm,
not
speaking
just
for
the
Department
of
Planning
tonight,
I'm
talking
about
for
the
citizens
of
Columbus.
How
important
this
really
is
to
us.
X
I
want
to
go
a
little
bit
deeper
into
us.
This
idea
that
everyone
really
counts
we
had
to
counter
by.
We
want
to
give
you
the
idea
of
why
that's
important
it's
about
fair
representation
to
make
sure
that
not
only
you
will
come
Council
or
representing
the
folks
you
should
be
representing,
but
on
our
state
legislature
in
Congress,
even
at
the
president,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
that
proper
representation
counted
it's
about
redistricting
and
that's
your
perk.
X
Your
ears
up
counts
of
arms
will
remember
this
when
we
did
this
last
time
and
we
had
councillor
Baker
and
that's
now
counselor
crabs
district.
We
have
some
changes
in
those
boundaries
and
we
had
to
go
back
through
and
through
the
redistricting
we'll
do
that
again
in
2021
2022,
that's
important
to
you
because
again,
your
the
number
of
folks
that
live
in
your
district
may
change.
We
need
to
make
sure
we
get
an
accurate
count
of
those
folks
in
each
district.
X
We've
got
and
last
but
not
least,
it's
all
about
money
really
when
right
down
to
it,
it
means
about
six
hundred
seven.
Seventy
five
billion
dollars
they'll
be
collected
and
dispersed
over
the
next
ten
years,
once
everything
is
really
said
and
done
from
that,
it's
really
vital
curve
in
terms
of
whether
programs
we
run
now
the
wit,
does
it
really
make
any
difference
for
how
we
count
folks
and
how
it
goes
about?
Well,
let
me
just
give
you
two
quick
examples
here.
X
This
is
out
of
the
thing
called
homes
calm
and
they
show
Columbus
as
a
basically
2018
as
the
number
two
largest
city
in
the
in
the
state.
That's
an
estimate,
that's
not
an
actual
real
count.
Now
you
understand
that,
because
of
my
else's
sight,
though,
you
go
this
one
by
Georgia
demographics,
they
have
is
listed
third
behind
Augusta,
pretty
much
was
basically
the
same
kind
of
number,
but
we're
still.
Third,
it's
in
this
case.
X
It's
really
more
about
bragging
rights,
anything
else,
but
it
also
is
important
in
terms
of
how
we
get
one
year
in
Atlanta.
It
really
doesn't
matter
to
us,
though,
about
in
terms
how
we
get
counted
and
what
an
actual
real
number
is.
Let
me
show
you
I'm
talk
about
even
more
so
this
is
2018
data
from
the
Census
Bureau
itself,
you'll
see
at
the
top
line,
or
the
second
line
there
if
they're
they're,
estimating
us
to
be
actually
a
hundred.
X
Ninety
four
thousand
zero,
five,
eight
that
that
goes
against,
where
they
did
based
account
in
April
of
April
of
2010,
which
was
one
hundred
nine
thousand
and
then
the
census.
You
know
population
census
and
so
forth
in
again
at
189.
This
is
important
because
again,
a
lot
of
the
revenue
we're
going
to
receive
from
grants
and
other
programs
are
going
to
be
based
off
these
numbers,
a
lot
of
the
horsemen
of
fundings.
X
We
get
involved
with
that
in
turn,
organizations
like
ESRI,
which
is
really
a
GIS
based
operation,
that
we
we
utilize
now
for
a
lot
of
the
things
we
do
and
a
lot
of
businesses
also
utilize
this
thing
and
so
forth.
What
the
hezbi
tells
us
really
if
the
population
for
them
was
for
us
in
twenty
and
two
thousand
one
hundred
eighty
six
thousand
two,
ninety
one
by
2010,
in
which
189
eight
eighty
five
and
then
2018
is
showing
us
at
193
4:32
a
little
bit
different
and
then
the
the
actual
population,
though
in
2023.
X
What
they're,
projecting
right
now
based
off
the
2010
numbers,
shows
us
actually
losing
population
that
I'll
be
concerned
to
us,
and
it
should
be.
It
is
because
that's
what
works
when
somebody's
come
into
a
community
of
this
size,
they're,
looking
and
saying!
Well,
what's
going
on
with
why
they
are
they
gain
population
with
a
loosened
population
if
they're
losing
population
population?
Why
what's
going
on
there?
That's
really
got
a
negative
effect
on
that's
important
to
do
it.
X
B
X
S
G
X
X
X
We
also
can
use
it
in
terms
of
dealing
with
that
and
in
terms
of
household
size
who
we're
actually
serving
in
the
community.
So,
typically
a
budget
time
talk
about
education
levels.
That's
always
it's
always
in
the
news
for
some
some
degree
about
what
how
and
we're
improving
or
not
improving
again
business.
Just
look
for
this
in
terms.
Do
you
have
an
educated
workforce,
and
these
kind
of
statistics
are
the
first
thing
they
look
forward
before
they'll
come
to
your
community.
So
just
give
you
an
idea.
X
This
is
what
we're
capable
of
producing
now
and
hopefully
the
numbers
come
back
and
we'll
look
at.
There
are
some
milestones
you
need
to
both
know
about
real,
quick
here
and
wrapping
this
up
for
you
in
2019.
The
partnership
activities
are
launched
in
terms
of
getting
things
get
sorry
and
so
forth.
I
should
say
at
this
point
right
now:
the
census
itself
really
is
already
started,
I
mean
actual
County.
X
If
you
live
in
Alaska
today,
they
are
actually
got
their
accounting
and
I
got
that
kind
of
thinking
about
that
I
mean
it's
cold
in
Alaska
last
mile,
look
it's
freezing
cold
and
why
are
they
counting
now?
It's
because
a
lot
of
the
villages
they
cannot
reach
during
the
summer
or
cannot
reach
as
easily
during
the
summer
and
it's
easier
to
walk
across
the
ice
and
get
to
the
village
or
get
to
that
areas.
We're
using
a
sled
team
or
whatever,
but
they're
actually
out
there
counting
now,
which
I
thought
that
was
fascinating.
X
X
Here
just
help
establish
that
committee
get
that
committee
going
we've
already
sent
out
the
invitations
to
everyone
to
invite
them
to
come
and
sit
with
us
something
and
during
that
meeting
we're
here
to
basically
serve
the
mayor's
office
in
terms
of
helping
that
that
process
out
and
make
sure
he
gets
going,
but
on
March
6
we're
starting
up
that
program
office
and
that
the
area
census
office
will
open
sometime
this
year
as
well,
probably
I
would
think
mid
summer
time.
I
haven't
don't
have
had
that
information
directly
in
hand.
X
The
advertising
itself
for
the
census
will
begin.
So
I
we're
told
now
at
early
2020
may
get
started
even
before
that,
just
to
let
folks
get
the
understanding
that
the
census
it's
beginning
to
get
ready
to
get,
kicked
off
and
so
forth.
There's
also
that
you
understand
this
is
the
first
census
that
will
the
minor
staying
issue
be
actually
allowed
to
fill
out
the
forms
online.
X
This
is
when
the
public
response
will
be
in
2020,
of
either
online
or
by
phone
or
mail
itself.
In
that
standpoint,
and
then
census
day
is
actually
April
1st
of
next
year.
I,
don't
know
why
they
picked
April
Fool's
Day,
but
that's
nothing.
That's
not
my
concern.
I'm
just
tell
you
that
you
need
a
circle
that
on
your
calendar
in
the
whole,
the
whole
point
of
me
coming
tonight
is
for
you
to
get
excited
about
the
idea
and
understand
the
importance
about
this.
So
she'll
share
your
constituents
and
anybody
talked
about
that.
X
The
census
is
coming
and
it
is
important.
The
in-person
visits
will
follow-up
to
that.
For
one
thing,
you
don't
fill
out
the
forms
or
need
more
information
from
that
parchment.
Council
then
sent
back
sent
to
the
president
by
the
end
of
2020,
so
that
Dolloff
numbers
are
pretty
much
set
in
is
set
in
stone
and
then
in
2021
the
redistricting
actually
starts
and
that's
important
because,
like
I
said
it
may
have,
it
may
and
probably
will
affect
the
districts
we
have
in
the
community
as
a
whole.
X
Of
that
standpoint,
this
gives
you
an
idea
just
the
organizational
chart
in
terms
of
who's
it
who's
responsible
in
dealing
with
the
census.
This
struggle
is
here
a
few
weeks
back.
You
you,
give
you
her
updating,
gila
her.
Never
here
input
and
she'll
be
working.
The
meeting
X
next
Wednesday
from
that
here's,
the
role
of
Columbus,
real
quick.
We
have
to
make
sure
we
have
an
accurate
census
count
if
we
under
get
under
counted
means
we're
going
to
get
we're
going
to
lose
some
additional
funding
somewhere
along
the
line.
X
So
whatever
funny
there
were
funds,
we
sent
weather
front,
you
said
a
nice
and
back
and
paying
tax
if
we
want
make
sure
and
get
them
back,
but
on
average
we
got
about
$1,300
back
from
that,
because
of
that
failure
to
count
to
count
ten
holes
contain
ten
households
rather
contained
two
point:
five
people
could
result
in
the
loss
of
almost
three
hundred
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
to
this
community.
That
is
that's
an
estimate
we
got
from
ACC
G.
X
That's
important,
that's
money
that
we
could
be
utilizing
for
roads
and
other
projects
in
this
community
and
it's
vital
that
we
have
that
that
count.
We
got
me.
We've
already
make
sure
that
the
this
thing
called
local
update.
Since
it's
addressed
or
Luca
has
been
completed.
We
did
that
last
year,
they're
going
to
send
it
back
to
us
basically
I'm
getting
ahead
of
myself.
It
basically
allows
requires
us
make
sure
we
check
all
those
local
residents
addresses.
We've
done
that
we're
gonna
get
another
chance.
X
Another
another
bite
the
Apple
this
summer
to
go
in
there
and
look
at
and
make
sure
thing
is
it's
fully
what
we
said
it
should
be
before
they
sent
it
off
and
start
doing
their
work.
We're
glad
we
got
to
establish
a
local
count.
Local
complete
count
committee
be
able
do
that
next
week,
which
provides
to
the
educational
tool
and
how
we
get
this
thing
going.
We
won't
be
able
to
motivate
citizens
as
best.
We
can
encourage
folks
to
do
that
and,
of
course
it's.
X
The
stakeholders
was
complete
count
committee
in
Katie's,
knowing
our
city
leaders,
but
schools
and
colleges,
Regional,
Commission,
the
media
and
so
forth
on
here
we're
trying
to
involve
everybody,
we
possibly
can
make
that
work.
So
our
next
steps,
really
here
we've
got
to
work
with
that
that
complete
counts
committee
to
make
sure
it's
functional
and
make
sure
it's
on
target.
They
both
GMA
and
ACC
G,
have
been
offering
workshops
around
the
state.
X
We
have
attended
those,
not
all
of
them,
but
we
have
10
of
those
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
about
what
they're
trying
to
deal
with
in
the
complete
counts,
and
last,
of
course,
not
leaves
the
most
thing
I
keep
emphasizing
here
tonight
to
you
is
we
got
to
make
sure
that
every
one
of
our
citizens
has
counted,
judging
the
fact
that
making
sure
what
they
they
have
equal
and
fair
representation,
and
that
we
receive
basically
the
funding
that
we
think
we
just
observe
over
the
next
10
years.
So
with
that,
mr.
X
Public
meetings,
the
public
meeting
for
the
complete
count
is
there's
not
really
opposed,
meaning
that's
just
in
the
meeting
of
establishing
the
the
committee
itself.
There
we
have.
No,
we
don't
have
a
meeting
scheduled
that
I
know
of
for
the
public
hearing
or
anything
else.
Our
objectives
just
make
sure
we
get
the
word
out
support,
but.
X
S
Rick
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
you
or
the
mayor's
office
or
whoever
can
you
send
us
on
well.
This
is
what
I
was
telling
the
mayor
that
you
know
the
festival
is
September
21st,
the
tri-city
Latino
festival.
We
get
about
10,000
people
that
come
through
there
and
it's
not
only
Latinos.
It's
really
a
multicultural
festival.
We
just
caught
in
a
Latino
festival,
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
the
board
would
not
have
a
problem
with
providing
her
space
for
someone
to
come
out
there.
Mended
and
educate
people
in
reference
to
the
sensor.
S
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
way
of
doing
it
because
you
will
get
all
you
know
everyone
from
Columbus
that
goes
to
the
festival,
to
see
it
and
we
can
help
promote
it
since
it's
very
important
to
get
our
numbers
higher,
so
I
offer
that
to
you.
I
just
need
to
know.
If
you
know,
if
you
all
talk
about
it
and
you
accept
it,
I
need
to
know
so.
I
can
take
it
back
to
the
board
and
say
we
need
to
find
a
good
location.
S
I
would
ask
and
I
just
say,
because
we
get
variety,
it's
very
diverse,
I
would
accent
if
there
are
any
materials
you
can
get
from
another
community
or
something
that's
in
Spanish
or
German
or
Asian,
or
you
know
in
other
languages,
or
maybe
those
beautiful
posters
you
make
with
quick
captures
of
the
importance
of
it
and
why
you're
important
can
be
displayed
where
people
can
see
it,
and
if
you
just
contact
me
once
y'all
decide,
then
I
will
take
it
back
to
our
board
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
help
with
it.
Well,.
X
Not
not
two
waiting
to
wade
into
controversy,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
there
we
try
to
eliminate
the
fear
factor
that
some
folks
have
with
feeling
one
two,
this
time
and
I
think
that's
one
that
won't
have
to
one
the
goals
of
the
go
there.
We
count
committee
is
how
we
how
we
go
to
minorities
and
others
and
say
this
is
nothing
that
were
using
against
you
who
stood
to
help
it
actually
help
you
in
the
long
run
and.
S
I
think
and
when
I
was
sitting
here
thinking
you
know
how
can
I
promote
this
and
I
was
sending
a
text
to
my
board
already,
you
know
telling
them
what
I'm
thinking
is
the
censors
bring
money
you
know
to
the
community.
The
census
is
to
help
your
family
and
housing
school
rolls
the
importance
of
the
quality
of
life
I.
Think
when
you
say
it
that
way,
people
look
at
it.
You
know
differently
when
it
has
so
much
to
to
go
over
people.
S
Fear
I,
think
if
we
just
say
you
know,
the
sensor
is
a
value
of
life
or
something
like
that,
something
catchy
where
it
would
catch
your
attention.
The
sensors
just
brings
money
to
the
community
to
fulfill
your.
You
know
your
family
wishes
or
dreams
right
now,
I
can't
think
of
something
real
catchy,
but
just
throwing
some
ideas
to
you,
because
I
was
sitting
here.
Thinking
what's
a
good
way
to
promote
this.
Well,
it's
bringing
funding
why
we
need
roads,
our
school,
Public
Safety.
S
You
know
and
I
started
listing
reasons
why
this
sensor
will
be
important
and
if
we
can
do
that,
I
think
that
will
make
people
be
a
little
bit
more
open
to
say
it
to
fill
it
out
and
I
think
that's
how
I
would
feel
more
comfortable
selling
it.
You
know
to
people
I
know
by
saying
the
sensor
brings
money
into
our
community.
You
had
a
great
one
here
that
showed
it
and
I
thought.
That
was
great.
S
That
shows
that
that's
the
perfect
way
to
say
you
know
you
feeling
out
the
sensors
help
us
do
this,
and
then
people
won't
look
at
it
as
being
threatening
because
they're
looking
at
their
quality
of
life,
but
just
food
for
thought
and
I'm,
pretty
sure
I'm
like
99.9%
they'll,
do
what
I
say
so
you
just
let
me
know
if
you're
interested
and
then
we'll
try
to
make
like
put
you
in
a
good
spot
where
the
traffic
is
coming
in
and
people
will
see
you
immediately.
Thank.
M
Too,
ended
to
that
mr.
Jones
I'm
sure
that
between
now
and
April,
the
1st
of
2020
there
will
be
a
lot
of
those
kinds
of
activities
that
the
committee
could
take
advantage
of
and
one
of
the
things
that
came
immediately
to
my
mind,
because
I
have
served
as
the
program
chair
for
organizations,
organizations
like
rotary
and
Kiwanis,
and
some
of
those
that
have
regular
meetings.
A
program
of
this
type
would
be
great
and
even
some
of
our
churches.
M
You
know
we
have,
we
see
night
supper
at
our
church
and
we
have
a
program,
and
this
would
be
a
good
program
for
some
of
those
kinds
of
things,
so
that
if
the
committee
made
it
real
clear
to
the
community,
if
you
would
like
to
have
a
presentation,
here's
who
you
call
and
how
you
get
on
that
list-
and
you
know
15
minutes.
20
minutes
is
all
you
need
to
help
bring
the
importance
of
of
what
we're
doing
so.
M
M
I
was
the
office
manager
for
the
1980
census,
and
our
office
was
done
in
the
old
marcin's
cafeteria
building
down
on
11th
Street,
and
we
had
cardboard
desks
because
we're
going
to
be,
but
it
is,
it
is
one
of
those
things
that
the
people
who
are
involved
in
it.
The
staff
who
are
involved
in
it,
are
very
conscientious
about
making
sure
that
everybody
is
counted,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
get
to
the
community.
M
B
Ma'am,
thank
you
ma'am
and
Reggie
Jones
I,
just
won't,
say
thanks
because
I
mean
this
is
in
addition
to
your
duties,
which
are
not
small
amount
of
duties.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
and
your
staff
do,
and
taking
this
on,
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
that
we
do
count
everybody
so
that
we
can
get
everything
to
us.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
R
And
so
mr.
mayor
I
would
just
say
to
those
listening,
you
know
if
you
think
the
census
count,
a
complete
count
is
not
important
and
you
like
to
remain
the
second
largest
city.
When
you
look
at
the
numbers,
the
population
of
Augusta
in
Columbus,
we're
talking,
2,000
people,
difference
mm,
and
so,
if
we
let
Augusta
outwork
us
down,
it
could
be
that
they're,
the
second
largest
city
by
300
people.
G
R

Check
into
the
Oakland
City
Road
area,
with
the
trailers
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what's
going
on,
is
horrible-looking
out
there,
I
don't
know
if
someone's
taking
the
material
for
scrap
or
something
and
just
leaving
it
with
all
the
installation
and
everything,
but
it's
really
a
mess
out
there.
So
it
looks
as
if
whoever
the
property
owner
is,
they
need
to
get
those
removed
or
something
just
to
clear
that
area
out.
I,
don't
know
if
you've
seen
it
or
not.
Well,.
R
V
It's
gone
for
some
reason,
because
if
that
will
stop
all
the
water
and
runoff
that
runs
down
the
heel
into
their
yards
when
it
rains
all
the
mud
goes
into
their
walking
space
and
also
I
heard
today
that
they
are
starting
to
have
some
paint
on
out
nice-looking
breeze
out
there.
So,
if
you
check
into
that,
thank
you
thank.
U
Thank
you,
mr.
mayor
mr.
city
manager.
Actually
this
for
the
planning
department,
probably
that
the
next
time
you
come
back
with
the
Government
Center
update,
such
as
with
the
analysis
of
the
public
meetings
that
we
have.
Could
somebody
come
in
with,
and
we
talked
about
you
know:
did
it
were
the
different
options
are?
But
what
is
the
square
footage
of
office
space
that
all
of
the
judicial
functions
currently
occupied
in
the
government
center,
the
sheriff
the
marshal
all
the
different
courts?
U
Just
so
just
a
gross
number
just
trying
to
get
kind
of
a
data
point
and
then,
by
the
same
token,
what's
the
square
footage
left
at
the
city?
Admin
spaces
are
in
the
tower
and
then
what's
the
square
footage
of
the
city
admin
spaces
in
the
annex
building
just
trying
to
get
an
idea
of
you
know
how
big
of
these
buildings
gonna
be
when
we
do
get
around
to
making
a
decision,
I
realize
it
may
change
based
on
whatever
that
those
designs
are
of,
it
sure,
have
some
idea.
Thanks.

The
city
manager
about
a
month
ago,
I've
learned
something
t
ahsha
and
Val
enlightened
me,
and
this
is
a.
There-
are
a
lot
of
other
citizens.
That
may
not
know
this,
but
anyone
who's
on
injectable,
injectable
medications
or
diabetic
that
they
could
turn
call
3-1-1
and
have
their
shops
container
picked
up.
I
didn't
know
that.
But
but
that's
that's
a
boon
say,
and
that
is
a
boom
for
many
individuals
who
may
have
ambulation
problems
or
transportation
problems.
Y
R
Council
bars,
I
will
say:
I
went
I'm,
not
gonna,
steal
that
the
mayor's
thunder,
but
he
is
doing
something
to
further
promote
three
one.
One.
So
you'll
prompt
you'll
see
that.

Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council
for
the
clerk's
agenda
items
one
in
two,
these
are
resolutions
with
respect
to
the
recommendations
from
the
board
of
honor.
The
first
is
an
honorary
designation
to
name
the
community
room
in
the
Public
Safety
Building
in
honor
of
Master,
Sergeant,
retired

One
minute
the
first
african-american
to
be
voted
into
the
Ranger
Hall
of
Fame
and
when
he
got
sick
he
had
a
number
of
generals
who
came
through
who
he
taught
at
the
Ranger
school.
So
just
that
one
not
to
talk
about
the
fact
is
the
judge
drug
fighter,
not
the
fact
that
he
got
with
with
the
Chiefs
of
Police
to
have
an
annual
bring
all
the
neighborhood's
together.
He
did
so
much
with
just
that,
one
just
that
one,
the
first
african-american
and
the
Ranger
all
afraid.
That's
enough.
Y
U
J
Item
number
two:
this
is
a
resolution
for
honorary
designation
on
a
16
Street
10th
Street
from
Veterans
Parkway
to
Bay
Avenue
for
signage,
to
reflect
Avenue
of
the
Arts.
I
did
just
want
to
make
a
comment.
Mr.
mayor,
the
board
of
Honor
approved
this
application
as
submitted,
and
this
excludes
the
Menma
that
was
made
and
approved
by
the
Council
on
February
12
council.
