Council
and
City
Attorney
Clifton,
babe,
Columbus
Georgia.
This
is
your
City
Council
good.
B
Morning,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
October
31st
meeting
of
the
Columbus
City
Council,
happy
Halloween,
we're
so
glad
to
have
you
with
us.
This
is
a
special
called.
Actually
it's
a
work
session,
a
regular
called
work
session.
Whenever
there
is
a
month
with
five
Tuesdays,
we
get
together
to
take
a
little
deeper
dive
into
some
issues
that
are
important
to
us,
and
so
we
actually
have
a
very
long
agenda
today
to
talk
about
some
subjects
that
we
just
need
a
little
background
and
investigation
on
and
the
staff
will
present
that
information
here
today.
B
D
Shall
we
pray
father
god
I
just
ask
that
you
look
on
the
hearts
of
these
you've
called
to
lead
and
give
them
the
wisdom
necessary
to
deal
with
the
issues
that
face
our
community
and
we
boldly
ask
you
not
just
to
keep
us
going
but
to
grow
us
to
prosper
us
and
to
make
us
the
great
city
we
deserve
to
be.
We
pray
this
in
your
name.
Amen
man,
Neil,.
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
what
you
do
in
this
in
your
role
as
chaplain,
but
also
to
serve
the
homeless
population
too.
You
do
such
an
incredible
job
and
is
a
huge
resource
for
the
city.
When
we
get
questions
and
people
with
concerns
and
interests,
Neal's
the
the
go-to
guy
to
field
those
calls
so
Thank,
You
Neal,
very
much
all
right.
We've
got.
We
don't
have
any
helpers
on
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance,
but
I
know
we
can
do
it
so
stand
with
me
and
let's
pledge
to
the
flag.
B
Give
yourself:
okay,
we
have.
We
have
a
couple
of
we've
actually
upgraded
the
system.
It
appears
so
I've
got
all
kinds
of
perks
up
here,
but
none
of
the
basics
and
and
they're
gonna
try
to
upload
my
basics,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
go
the
old-fashioned
way.
I
will
not
be
able
to
see
Council
if
you
have
something
you'd
like
to
say
so,
please
just
raise
your
hand
until
we
get
this
resolved,
but
we're
going
to
start
with
the
consent
agenda,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
mr.
E
B
E
B
B
E
B
E
B
Thank
you
all
right.
We
got
the
work
session
so
we'll
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager.
If
you'll
turn
on
his
microphone.
F
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
good
morning,
we've
got
a
number
of
topics
on
the
work
session
agenda
and
we
are
going
to
proceed
through
them
in
the
order
that
they
are
listed
and
if
the
meeting
starts
to
get
long,
I
will
pick
and
choose
what
topics
we
will
proceed
with
and
and
I'll
need
your
help
as
to
what
you
might
want
to
hear
today
and
what
you
might
want
to
delay
for
another
time.
So
we'll
start
to
help
as
they
are
listed.
And
then
we
may
do
something
different.
G
Good
morning,
madam
mayor
mr.
city
manager,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
council,
as
you
know,
John
Williams,
deputy
chief
appraiser,
it's
a
big
day
for
us
as
a
department.
What
I
bring
to
you
as
an
update
is
the
fact
that
we
have
completed
the
review
of
every
appeal
that
has
been
filed
for
this
year,
the
and
I.
If
you'll,
forgive
me
that
the
paperwork
that's
been
passed
out
was
delayed
this
morning,
because
we
had
to
print
our
latest
batch
of
30-day
notices.
G
G
The
handout
you've
just
received
is
the
second
presentation
that
we're
going
to
do
this
morning,
so
the
first
one
is
on
the
screen
and
again
I
apologize
for
not
having
a
handout
in
front
of
you
at
this
time.
All
these
numbers
were,
as
of
the
end
of
the
day.
Yesterday,
77
31
active
appeals
as
a
5
p.m.
we
had
10,000
906
appeals
this
year,
so
I
believe
mr.
G
Thomas,
you
were
the
one
that
asked
that
at
the
last
meeting
what
was
the
total
number
of
Appeals
and
I
said
10700
approximately
I
was
off
by
a
couple
hundred
that's
11
per
seven
thousand
731
is
11
percent
of
the
taxable
real
problem
parcels
here
in
the
county.
Again
that
value
dispute
is
2.3
percent
that
hasn't
changed
in
a
while.
G
G
Seventy
one
hundred
and
sixty
five
30-day
notices
have
been
sent
out
to
date
and,
as
I
told
you,
we
have
another,
it's
I
think
it's
1388
right
at
1430
day,
notices
that
are
gonna
be
sent
out
today
and
tomorrow
of
the
ones
that
have
already
gone
out
just
over.
Fifty
percent
of
those
have
expired,
and
you
may
recall
the
last
time
I
presented
this
information
to
you.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
number
was
higher
when
I
ran
the
query.
G
G
We
have
five
percent
I'm,
sorry,
five
appeals
that
are
at
the
administrative
manager
desk
for
review
and
another
nine
or
a
division
manager,
either
my
desk
or
one
of
my
division
managers
desk
for
initial
input.
That
could
be
something.
Yesterday
we
had
appraisers
go
out
to
several
site
visits
to
make
sure
we
have
some
information
correct.
G
If
you
can,
we
learned
things
along
the
way
we
get
statistical
information
along
the
way
as
to
you
know
what
we
may
have
need
to
adjust
more
adjust
less.
So,
in
the
review
of
all
these
appeals,
we've
learned
some
things
and
we
take
that
knowledge
and
go
through
these
no
changes.
One
more
time,
that'll
be
done
these
couple
days
this
week
and
then
those
will
also
be
brought
to
the
board
again
either
as
a
no
change
or
as
a
reduction.
G
We
have
certified
252
appeals
to
the
Board
of
Equalization
14
of
those
have
withdrawn
as
of
yesterday,
so
that
leads
238
officially
at
the
BOE
at
this
time.
As
you
know,
and
we
pointed
out
last
week,
the
ability
straighter
in
the
clerk's
spirit
Court's
office
is
responsible
for
taking
those
from
us
in
certification
and
then
setting
those
appointments,
communicating
with
the
taxpayers
communicating
with
the
members
of
the
BOE
etc.
G
I
G
The
that
a
bigger
number
above
it
is
the
number
of
30
date
what
we
call
the
30
day
notice.
That
is
a
letter
that
we
send
out
and,
for
example,
if
we
recommend
to
the
board
of
Assessors
that
we
want
to
reduce
your
value,
they
approve
that
recommendation
and
then
a
letter
goes
out
to
you.
We
call
that
a
30
day
notice,
because
at
the
end
of
30
days,
that
expires
so
that
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty-seven
those
are
the
that's.
The
number
of
30-day
notices
that
have
expired.
I
G
The
next
presentation
that
we
have,
we
were
asked
by
the
city
manager
and
his
staff
to
bring
to
you
kind
of
an
update
on
the
status
of
the
department.
What
all
these
appeals
mean?
What's
the
impact,
how
does
it
impact
us
moving
forward
and
into
next
year's
digests
presentation
or
preparation
and
presentation
to
the
Tax
Commission,
so
Betty
and
I
put
together
some
facts
for
you
yesterday
and
go
ahead
and
get
that
on
the
screen
for
you,
the
handout
you
first
received
is
the
handout
for
this
presentation.
G
So,
as
I
said
before,
the
department
processed
and
reviewed
ten
thousand
nine
hundred
and
six
total
Appeals,
we
anticipate
the
timeframe
to
complete
the
appeals,
which
means
they
go
to
the
BOE,
a
values
rendered
by
the
board
and
the
value
is
settled.
That's
what
we
call
complete,
there's
no
more
appeal
devalues
established.
We
put
that
into
our
system.
They
get
a
new
tax
bill
if
appropriate.
G
So
that's
what
I
mean
by
complete
at
that
time
and
because
of
this
historic
number
of
Appeals,
we
directed
and
dedicated
all
of
our
resources
to
reviewing
this
processing
and
reviewing
those
appeals.
So
we've
been
doing
that
for
four
months,
as
you
would
imagine
that
four
months
of
allocating
all
of
our
resources
to
appeals
has
caused
our
normal
workload
not
to
be
accomplished.
G
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I'm
here
for
with
you
today,
unless
we
address
this
delay
in
our
annual
work,
it
will
preclude
us
from
timely
submitting
our
portion
of
the
tax
digest
to
the
Tax
Commissioner
by
June
1.
If
we
recall
that
June
1
was
her
date
from
earlier
this
year,
in
order
for
us
to
meet
that
June
1
date,
we
have
to
get
our
notices
of
assessment
out
in
April.
G
G
We
must
review
the
2017
building
permits
and
transfers
of
properties
for
2018
again.
That
would
have
to
be
done
by
that
April
18
timeframe.
Last
year
there
were
16
hundred
and
16
building
permits,
as
of
August
1
John
Hutchison
has
told
us
that
we
had
1075
permits
to
date.
At
that
time,
we
anticipate
about
2,000
building
permits
in
total
for
2017,
based
on
his
forecast
for
the
next.
For
the
last
quarter.
G
Some,
but
not
all
of
these
parcels
are
going
to
be
wrapped
up
or
reviewed
in
that
one
third
of
the
county
that
we've
heard
so
much
about.
We
will
review
all
the
properties
every
three
years.
Simple
math
says
we'll
review
a
third
of
the
county
every
year,
so
some
of
those
parcels
will
include
the
30
state
or
the
36
ab8
will
be
included
in
some
of
those.
As
I
just
said,
the
Stamp
state
mandated
review
of
a
third
of
the
properties
in
each
in
our
County
and
every
County
in
Georgia
every
year
for
all
parcels.
G
In
three
years
we
have
five,
fifty
six
thousand
and
forty
seven
residential,
improved
properties
not
included.
There
is
the
vacant,
unimproved
properties
and
I'm
just
dealing
with
residential
right
now
in
this
presentation,
simple
math
says
a
third
of
that
number
is
18
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
two
I
double
AO
recommends
and
I
double
AO
is
the
International
assessing
up
rate
assessment.
G
International
Association
of
assessing
officers
I'm,
not
a
member.
By
the
way,
that's
my
daughter,
they
recommend
a
support,
one
staff
person
for
every
3,000
to
3,500
parcels,
so
we
have
just
and
what
I'm
talking
about
right
now,
the
third
of
the
county
to
review
every
year
we
have
eighteen
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
682.
So
when
you
separate
that
divided
by
three
that
six
thousand
two
hundred
twenty
seven
parcels
per
appraiser
that
we
have
dedicated
to
that
role
this
year.
C
J
G
J
G
J
G
G
So
we
have
a
staff
of
six
residential
appraisers
to
include
the
manager
3.
He
and
two
other
staff
members
are
going
to
be
working
on
these
appeals.
So
that
least
three
of
hit
the
other
three
of
his
staff
to
work
on
permits,
transfers
and
one
third
of
the
county
review
for
the
year.
The
math
adds
up.
You
can
tell
that
even
with
I
double
ace
standards
work
over
twice
as
much
for
each
appraisers
workload,
just
considering
the
review
of
the
properties,
we're
not
talking
about
permits
and
transfers.
G
G
Review
of
the
tax
assessor's
department
also
identified
insufficient
staffing
in
the
residential
division
and
I
keep
pointing
that
out,
because
the
commercial
division
and
the
personal
property
division
were
not
identified
as
understaffed,
we
have
the
staff
needed
for
those
divisions
according
to
those
two
reviews
and
according
to
our
current
workload,
they
were.
These
identified
staff
shortages
were
prior
to
this
historic
amount
of
Appeals
that
we
are
now
in
the
process
of
working
through.
G
So,
as
I've
said
many
times,
we
need
additional
residential
appraisers,
the
solution
who,
what
we
determined
to
be
the
best
solution,
and
this
is
something
that
was
pointed
out
a
couple
meetings
ago.
It
may
have
been
mr.
Allen
or
mr.
Baker
I'm,
not
sure
what
I
think
it
may
have
been
mr.
Baker
I'm
talking
about
contracting
out
as
opposed
to
hiring
employees
for
a
temporary
type
of
a
fix
or
a
solution.
G
Why
is
that
important?
Because
RFP
stake
time,
and
if
you
think
back
to
my
timeline
that
we
discussed
that
April
of
2018
is
the
time
when
this
work
needs
to
be
done,
so
we
need
to
begin
almost
immediately
with
this
other
work
other
than
our
appeals.
So
selecting
contractor
Tyler
is
the
best
solution.
Did
it
not
only
the
time
that
it
would
take
to
RFP
for
others,
they
know
the
software
we
use?
Obviously
so
their
staff
would
know
the
software
we
wouldn't
have
to
train
them.
We
wouldn't
have
to
overwatch
their
initial
work.
G
It
would
be
as
if
our
guys
were
doing
it
with
approval
the
they
have
told
us
that
they
would
be
prepared
to
move
forward,
beginning
first
week
in
January
after
the
holidays
of
2018.
Without
that
staff
augmentation,
we
will
not
be
able
to
complete
the
work
required
for
the
timely
submission
and
compliance
of
the
2018
digests.
G
And
that
is
my
last
moving
forward.
I'm
apologize
in
order
to
make
sure
this
doesn't
happen
again.
We
need
to
increase
the
staff
or
augmentation
to
enable
continuous
maintenance
of
the
software
and
the
values
in
that
software
and
also
meet
the
stamp
that
state
mandate
at
the
third
of
a
county
every
year.
G
We
should
also
a
separate
item,
this
GIS
position,
that
is
now
in
my
department.
We
talked
about
this
early
in
the
budget
planning.
The
position
was
moved
to
us
for
the
hybrid
model
in
2016
IT
was
to
fund
that
position
in
2016
I'm,
sorry
in
2017,
with
the
understanding
that
the
tax
assessor's
office
and
department
would
fund
it
for
2018
because
of
budget
constraints
required.
G
We
were
not
able
to
fund
that
position
in
the
tax
assessor's
office
in
2018,
so
council
directed
IT
and
the
GIS
section
to
fund
it
for
2018,
with
the
understanding
that
we
were
going
to
come
forward
mid-year
and
request
for
that
change
of
funding
from
our
budget.
For
that
position,
I've
got
a
document
here
that
I
could
read
to
you,
didn't
put
it
in
the
presentations
a
bit
wordy,
but
all
the
things
that
Sandra
Russo
does
in
our
department.
G
She,
from
my
perspective
as
her
boss,
she's
almost
one
of
the
time
she
started
with
us
and
learned
about
what
we
do
and
then
educated
herself
and
promoted
herself
into
GIS
she's
been
back
with
us
since
16
and
she
does
a
fantastic
job.
She
does
things
that
we
can't
do,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
departments
and
counties
that
have
GIS
augmentation
within
the
tax,
assessor's
Department,
so
keeping
her.
There
is
a
extremely
wise
move
on
our
part.
G
Now
we're
just
asking
or
letting
you
know
that
we
need
to
find
the
money
in
the
budget
to
move
that
payment
for
her
position
to
our
budget
to
free
up
IT.
So
they
don't
carry
her
anymore
and
I'm
sure
force
will
echo
that
sentiment.
I
believe
that
is
my
last
slide.
Yes,
I
will
take
all
of
your
questions.
Okay,.
G
They
have
given
us
a
price
and
that's
a
price
per
parcel
that,
depending
on
and
again
those
numbers,
I
gave
you
or
my
best
estimate.
You
know
we
don't
know
how
many
permits
and
transfers
we'll
have
with
fourth
quarter
2017,
but
based
on
history,
that
thirty
six
hundred
plus
number
is
seems
to
be
well
established.
We
need
those
contracted
staff
members
to
do
that
review
force.
They
will,
if
necessary,
fits
a
new
house
they'll.
G
What
we
call
strap
the
house
they'll
measure,
the
house,
they'll
gather
all
the
information
about
the
house
and
bring
it
back
to
us
and
put
it
in
is
world
for
us.
That's
one
of
the
benefits
of
having
I
a
staff
to
do
that.
They
know
the
software
they'll
put
it
in
there
for
us
and
they
will
maintain
that
and
then
bring
that
to
us
and
our
appraisers
will
finalize
the
value
for
those
properties
and
then
bring
that
to
the
board
of
Assessors
in
the
normal
flow
of
business.
G
F
F
Matter,
mayor
and
council,
let
me
just
say
that
when
it
was
communicated
to
me
through
one
of
my
deputy
city
managers,
that
the
situation
with
tax
assessor's
office
and
having
directed
all
available
resources
over
the
last
four
months
months
to
review
and
approve,
and
unless
they
receive
additional
staff
support
that
there
was
there
would
be
a
delay
in
the
tax
digest
getting
to
the
Tax
commissioner's
office.
And
my
man
went
through
what
we
just
went
through
and
I
immediately
told
the
deputy
city
manager.
F
They
need
to
come
to
Council
then,
and
they
need
to
tell
Council
directly
their
current
situation
and
if
it's
not
addressed,
where
they're
going
to
be
and
and
then
need
to
talk
about
options,
and
so
I
got
that
call
last
week
and
I
immediately
wanted
to
put
it
on
the
agenda,
because
you
need
to
hear
it
and
the
public
and
they
they
need
to
hear
it.
And
so
that
is
why
he's
here
today,
and
so
because
this
is
a
work
session.
F
I
did
want
him
to
share
the
situation
and
then
talk
about
the
options,
and
that
is
they
could
ask
for
the
approval
of
new
staff.
That
would
go
on
city
payroll
or
they
could
ask
to
contract
it
out
and
as
he
has
indicated,
it
makes
sense
that
we
would
do
it
with
Tyler.
They
have
the
background
the
experience
and
they
can
do
it
and
and
they
can
hit
the
ground
running
immediately
and
so
I
wanted
you
to
hear
this
and
then
have
discussion
and
then
provide
some
direction.
Do
you
want
new
city
staff?
F
Do
you
want
to
contract
it
out?
Does
it
make
sense
to
you
to
go
with
Tyler?
If
we
go
through
an
RFP,
it
could
take
90
to
120
days.
You
know
unless
we
find
a
way
to
shorten
that,
but
I
think
your
April
1st
2018
date
is
critical
and
we
are
upon
the
Thanksgiving
and
Christmas
and
New
Year's
holidays,
and
so
we
wanted
to
have
that
discussion
and
if
there's
direction
that
your
fan
with
Tyler
bring
back
some
numbers
to
discuss,
then
we
can
obviously
do
that
and
then
we
can
go
from
there.
I
G
Is
always
an
option?
The
public
access
site
has
an
appeals
section
that
they
can
look
on
the
status
of
their
appeal
there
as
well.
That
will
give
them
an
indication
if
it's
still
active
or
if
it's
being
reviewed
or
four
letters
been
sent
out.
It
will
all
be
there
in
that
section
of
the
public
access
site.
That's
a
public
access,
dot
Columbus.
Yet
oh
okay.
G
I
You
the
other,
well
what
about
what
I'd
like
to
suggest
the
council
mouth
position
is
I'd
like
for
us
to
consider
contracting
this
out
and
the
reason
is
hiring
new
employees
is
going
to
add
a
lot
of
cost
to
the
city
budget,
so
I'd
like
to
ask
to
see
the
manager
if
he
could
help
me
kind
of
walk
through
where
we
are.
This
goes
back
to
lack
of
communication
between
us
and
the
Board
of
Tax
Assessors
last
year
and
earlier
this
year
and
how
we
got
into
all
this
situation.
I
We're
in
we
just
took
out
a
nine
million
dollar.
Nine
plus
million
dollar
LAN
was
in
tax,
paying
tax
on
kan,
which
gives
us
the
ability
to
basically
borrow
money.
If
we
fall
into
a
certain
situation,
we
also
have
been
asked
understand
by
the
Muscogee
County
School
District,
to
help
them
offset
cost,
because
we
do
not
have
the
cash
flow
coming
in
in
October.
F
Council
and
I
would
say
to
you
that
I
agree
with
that,
because
once
we
get
through
what
we're
dealing
with
and
they
get
caught
up,
then
that
agreement
and
where
we've
contracted
it
out
can
go
away.
And
then
you
can
take
a
fresh
look
at
whether
you
want
to
add
additional
staff
to
the
tax
assessor's
office.
Exactly.
I
F
I
G
G
$30,
a
parcel
is
the
number
that
we've
been
given
from
Tyler,
so
when
you
that
could
range
from
ninety
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars-
and
that's
three
thousand
to
thirty
in
the
presentation,
I
believe
is
thirty.
Six
sixty
two
or
thirty
six
hundred
plus.
That
would
be
at
that
hundred
and
ten
thousand.
K
G
They
will
augment
those
three
appraisers
that
are
doing
that
work.
So
it's
that
that
number,
which
are
appeals
and
property
transfer
sales,
but
it's
also
that
one-third
of
the
county
number
that
there's
two
numbers.
So
the
number
you
just
read
me
I
believe
is
that
one-third
of
the
county
number,
the
other
number
is
the
set
of
permits
and
transfers.
So
there's
two
different
numbers
in
that
presentation,
so
we're
looking.
G
G
L
K
Don't
have
any
numbers
that
we're
talking
about
right
well,
I
will
tell
you
that
the
hair
on
the
back
of
my
neck
went
straight
up
when
you
said
Tyler,
yes,
ma'am
and
part
of
that
is
because
of
all
of
the
things
that
have
been
going
on
with
Tyler
technology.
I
I
have
have
some
real
concerns
about
doing
what
you're
asking
us
to
do.
The
the
other
piece
of
this
I
have
some
concerns
about
doing
this
mid-year.
K
This
is
not
our
normal
way
of
doing
business,
and
it
it's
a
little
concerning
concerning
to
me
that,
quite
frankly,
I
don't
think
we
have
enough
information
to
do
that.
Well,
the
other
piece
of
it
is
I.
Don't
know
at
this
point.
Does
this?
Does
this
figure
that
you're
talking
about
include
moving
the
position
from
GIS
to
I
mean
high
t2
tax
assessor's.
G
K
F
G
F
F
Well,
let
me
correct
that
it's
it's
an
active
position
and
that
position
belongs
to
IT
and
we
were
allowing
that
person.
We
were
letting
that
person
help
the
tax
assessor's
office
to
get
them
through
what
they're
dealing
with
and
and
at
some
point
that
position
has
to
be
committed
fully
back
to
IT,
and
so
they
do
need
their
that
position
and
force
totally
is
going
to
talk
about
that
later.
F
Yes,
if
you
recall
during
this
last
budget
process,
we
asked
because
of
the
budget
situation
that
you
not
add
the
position
and
we
would
just
work
it
out
and
allow
our
10-person.
I
sat
there
at
that
table
and
said
that
we
would
allow
IT
to
continue
to
assist
them,
knowing
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
do
that
indefinitely,
but
we
did
not
want
to
try
and
create
a
new
position
at
that
time
and.
F
F
This
no,
but
let
me
tell
you
what
I
came
to
you
for
and
I
tried
to
explain
that
earlier.
I
wanted
you
to
be
aware,
because
when
they
I
got
the
phone
call
I
don't
want
to
be
the
only
one
who
knows
this
and
I
want
you
to
be
aware,
and
we
want
to
have
a
strategy
now
to
avoid
having
to
deal
with
this
in
2018
and
so
I.
Want
you
to
be
aware
and
know
the
options
and
and
hear
from
you.
F
F
K
K
C
F
M
Like
to
thank
you
for
your
very
thorough
presentation,
yeah
and
under
we
were
going
through
some
birth
pains
for
follow
this
issue,
but
I
want
to
commend
you
and
your
staff
for
pulling
a
rabbit
out
of
the
Hat
and,
as
we
say
in
the
army,
making
it
happen
because
that's
the
bottom
line
is
that
you
made
it
happen.
We
don't
look
backwards,
we
look
forward.
M
The
second
thing
is
I've
learned
from
my
army
trainers
that
when
you're
in
an
untenable
position,
you
do
what
you
need
to
do
to
accomplish
the
mission
so
I.
Second,
it
what
counseling,
because
I
don't
think
we're
in
a
we're
really
not
in
a
position
to
do
otherwise
but
support
this
year,
and
it
makes
sense
because
taller
technology
has
the
personnel
there's
no
lag
period.
We
can
get
on
it
and
meet
the
deadlines,
everything
else
and
to
me
right
now
in
in
this
discussion.
M
That
is
the
most
important
thing
talking
about
IT
and
all
we
can
deal
with
that
at
a
later
date
ring
and,
if
need
be,
if
we're
in
that
much
of
a
question,
we
can
just
continue
on
with
what
we're
doing
it'll
be
tight
with
the
IT
personnel,
but
that
shouldn't
even
occur
in
this
particular
issue.
Right
now,
we
should
just
be
concerned
with
your
timeline
and
thank
you
again
for
your
good
presentation.
Thank.
N
Of
the
questions
I
was
going
to
ask
is
if
we
could
hold
off
a
vote
of
support
just
as
councillor
Thomas
was
saying,
I
I,
don't
think
we
have
a
choice,
probably
really
other
than
to
use
Tyler
or
some
somebody
that
we're
able
to
use
in
the
interim
to
help
fix
this
year's
issue.
But
I
would
like
to
see
the
numbers
I'd
like
to
see
the
numbers,
what
it's
going
to
cost
us,
because
my
quick
math
I
thought
I
heard
you
say
you
were
asked
to
making
around
100
to
well.
N
Because
I
in
my
quick
math
with
the
three
people
that
we've
got
leaves
us
about
eighty
one
hundred
parcels
and
that's
closer
to
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
so
and
I
know
my
I.
Don't
understand
the
systems
right!
That's
just
based
on
the
numbers
that
you
have
on
the
on
the
update,
so
I
think
it'd
be
important
to
find
out
what
it
would
cost
to
add
to
appraisers
full-time
because
we
may
have
to
know
as
we
go
forward.
It'd
be
good
information
to
have.
N
If
we,
if
we're
asked
to
consider
this-
and
this
becomes
the
new
normal
and
we're
having
to
deal
with
us
every
year.
I'd
also
like
to
ask
you
to
let's
go
in.
Maybe
we
should
go
ahead
and
do
an
RFP
for
additional
services
as
needed
loan
help
this
year,
but
we
can
have
that
as
an
option
going
forward
and
it
might
be
that
they
can
do
it
cheaper
than
Tyler.
N
And
lastly,
without
picking
a
scab
off
hole,
wounds,
I
would
ask
Tyler
doesn't
hurt
to
ask
if
they
will
give
us
some
type
of
relief
on
their
normal
cost,
because
I
still
believe
that
they
have
some
culpability
in
some
of
the
mountain
of
work
that
you
guys
were
forced
to
deal
with.
They
never
came
out
and
said
it,
but
I'm
in
my
linear
thinking.
There
is
one
of
two
issues
that
generated
a
lot
of
these
challenges.
One
was
either
the
system
didn't
work.
N
N
It's
almost
impossible
for
them
to
deny
they
have
some
culpability
in
the
processes
that
took
place
and
I
think
it
bears
asking
the
question
if,
in
light
of
some
of
that,
they're
willing
to
help
us
through
this
year,
because
this
year
was
created
in
my
mind,
partly
because
of
the
manner
in
which
those
numbers
were
entered
and
enforced.
A
lot
of
issues
that
y'all
had
to
deal
with
across
the
board
and.
F
Then
mayor
I
just
want
to
be
clear
again:
I
did
not
come
here
today
today
for
vote.
This
is
a
work
session
and
wanted
to
have
discussion.
I
have
not
even
had
time
to
meet
with
them,
I'm
operating
from
a
phone
call,
and
so
I
just
want
you
to
be
clear.
This
is
very
new
information
to
me
and
we're
operating
on
a
phone
call
but
I
once
say
to
councillor
Henderson
I
love
the
idea
of
an
RFP
and
much
like
we
do
with
architects
and
engineering
services.
F
We
have
three
owned
through
an
RFP
process
on
a
list
at
all
times
that
we
can
call
an
architect
or
we
can
call
engineering
services.
We
need
to
do
that
with
appraisals
and
so
I
think
that's
an
ex
idea,
and
so
I
do
agree
with
moving
forward
and
moving
forward
now
and
going
with
Tyler.
We
will
bring
you
all
of
the
information
at
the
next
meeting
to
include
the
cost
of
hiring
in-house
personnel.
F
To
do
it,
the
cost
to
include
benefits
versus
contracting
or
outsourcing
it
so
we'll
bring
to
you,
but
our
recommendation
will
be
that
we
outsource
it
and
that
we
go
with
Tyler.
They
have
the
experience
people
they
can
put
on
the
ground
immediately,
but
we
will
have
the
conversation
with
them
about
some
relief
and
so
we'll
come
back
next
week
with
all
of
that,
we.
O
Thank
you
for
coming
today,
mr.
Williams,
we
do
appreciate
your
service
and
we
appreciate
the
board
service.
I.
Think
the
fact
that
72%
have
been
recommended
for
reduction
y'all
have
been
working
really
hard
and
bet
there
a
lot
of
happier
much
happier
taxpayers
out
there,
but
a
councillor,
Henderson
kind,
I,
definitely
agree
with
you
about
the
whole
Tyler
thing.
I
think
we
should
get
some
Sorrell
efj,
whether
it
be
from
30
to
$28
or
whatever
it
may
be.
O
Y'all
done
way
more
work
than
you
have
had
to
do
in
the
past
and
I
think
there's.
Definitely
some
sort
of
I
guess
an
impact
that
happened
because
of
the
software.
I
did
have
a
couple
questions
about
your
earlier
presentation
too,
though.
The
252
appeals
to
the
Board
of
Equalization.
Does
that
include
appeals
by
tax
payers
or
when
you
say
certify?
Does
that
mean
just
ones?
Y'all
are
appealing
no.
G
O
O
Okay
and
if
we
do
move
forward
with
Tyler,
just
something
that
I
would
ask
him,
I
guess
this
would
be
get
more
geared
towards
to
see
attorney,
but
if
we
could
try
and
putting
some
more
favorable
language,
I
guess
to
us
as
far
as
if
we
proceed
to
images
somehow
you
know,
for
instance,
having
to
employ
the
Board
of
Equalization
more
or
having
it
an
unusually
high
amount
of
Appeals
something
to
protect
the
city,
so
we've
got
guarantee
protection.
There
that'd
be
great.
If
there's
anything,
we
can
work
with
him
on.
I
You
Mayor
John
I
would
like
for
us
to.
If
you
could
have
some
what
is
send
to
Council
a
step-by-step
process
of
how,
if
someone
calls
us
and
says
I
haven't
heard
anything,
then
we
couldn't
direct
them
to
your
website
and
then
give
us
a
step
process.
They
would
need
to
go
through
in
order
to
find
the
information
they
need
or
call
the
person
they
need
to
call.
I
If
you
could
give
us
a
step-by-step
on
that
and
then
the
other
thing
would
be
it,
it
seems
to
me
might
be
good
idea
to
have
them
post
something
on
our
website
so
that
it's
a
little
easier
to
maneuver
through
for
those
that
have
not
heard
anything
on
their
appeal.
If
they
could.
Just
you
know,
click
here
and
it'll
send
you
to
the
step
by
step
process.
Several.
G
Weeks
ago
we
did
an
inner
I
did
an
interview
on
CCTV
that
had
a
PowerPoint
that
specifically
went
step
by
step
to
do
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
doing
so.
I'll
just
send
counsel
that
presentation,
so
you
have
it
as
well.
It's
out
its
out
there
on
CCG
TV
I'm,
not
sure
where
I
haven't
seen
it,
but
it's
out
there.
My
mother
said
she
couldn't
find
it.
She
watches
all
these
things.
So,
okay,
I,
don't
know
exactly
where
it
is,
but
I'm
we
can
make
it
more
prominent.
G
B
Good
well
I
had
something
I
wanted
to
say,
I'm,
so
appreciative
of
the
tone
and
tenor
of
the
conversation
today
and
and
join
with
the
others
and
saying
that
you
have
done
such
a
remarkable
job,
you
and
your
staff
Betty.
Thank
you
also.
We
have
with
us
a
few
members
of
the
board
of
tax
assessor's.
We
have
Chester
Randolph
the
chair
and
also
Pat
hunter
and
the
gentleman
who's.
The
new
in
point
of
point.
B
Moore
field,
thank
you
and,
of
course,
Randy
Lomax,
the
lawyer
for
the
board
of
tax
assessor's,
that
is
an
independent
authority.
I
wanted
to
mention
something
that
didn't
get
any
coverage
here
in
Columbus
that
I
recall,
seen
and,
and
so
maybe
councils
not
aware
of
the
citizens,
may
not
be
aware,
but
Fulton
County
had
their
tax
digest
rejected
on
Thursday.
B
But
during
this
whole
conversation
it
was
everything
from
Tyler
and
software
to
to
all
kinds
of
things.
We
too
proposed
that
the
2016
valuations
be
frozen
and
had
we
done
that,
our
tax
digest
would
have
been
rejected
and
and
just
a
little
bit
about
what
that
means.
It
lanta
this
article
here
Atlanta
is
desperately
trying
to
get
a
hearing
they're
trying
to
get
a
judge
to
set
their
valuation,
so
they
can
send
out
their
tax
bills
right
now,
they're
they're
stopped
by
law.
B
B
But
you
you
can
hear
the
concern
we
had
here
with
just
having
to
get
a
tax
anticipation
note
for
45
days,
imagine
a
year
or
six
months
or
four
months,
and
there
was
an
incredible
amount
of
pressure
and
the
reason
why
I
bring
this
up
a
lot
of
people
probably
say
yeah,
you
know
it
all
worked
out,
just
don't
bring
it
up.
You
know,
let's
move
on,
but
the
interesting
thing
about
justices.
It's
always
delayed.
B
You
know,
there's
a
saying
says:
justice
delayed
is
justice
denied
right,
it's
always
delayed
and
in
that
sense
it's
always
denied,
and
so
there
was
a
period
of
time
in
which
the
board
of
Tax
Assessors
and
under
the
advice
of
Randy
Lomax
and
our
city
attorney,
Clifton,
Faye
and
Lucie
chef
Dell,
were
string
of
ously
advising
us
know
not
to
go.
That
course
now
was
something
we
wanted
to
do
as
elected
officials,
because
we
want
to
bring
relief
to
our
citizens
and
to
our
constituency,
and
so
there
were
no
thanks.
B
B
You
know,
Randy,
as
a
lawyer,
I
find
it
amazing
that
people
think
that
the
ability
to
read
a
sentence
sentence
grammatically
correct
as
the
equivalent
of
practicing
law
I.
You
know,
I
love,
that
if
simply
reading
a
sentence
was
was
the
practice
of
law,
there
wouldn't
be
the
need
for
the
three
years
in
the
and
and
and
the
bar
exam
and
the
years
and
years
and
decades,
I
think
people
do
that,
because
experts
like
you
make
it
look
so
easy.
So
you
think
we'll
anybody
can
do
that.
Well,
not
anybody.
B
Do
it
apparently,
because
Atlanta
isn't
a
big
fat
mess,
their
school
district
is
scrambling
and
if
you've
read
some
of
the
stuff,
that's
even
if
the
judge
does
expedite
it.
They're
gonna
be
a
bit
of
trouble,
and
so
one
of
you
know
one
of
the
authorities
that
I
have
under
the
Charter
as
mayor
is
that
I
am
the
public
spokesperson
for
the
city
and
so
as
the
public
spokesperson
of
the
city
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
B
The
Board
of
Tax
Assessors
and
Randy
Lomax
free
expert
Council
for
standing
steadfast
in
the
face
of
unbelievable,
unfair
political
pushback.
For
some
of
the
personal
assaults
you
had
to
undergo
I
am
so
very
sorry.
It's
rare
that
somebody
in
your
circumstance,
I
say
a
volunteer
board,
but
you
do
receive
a
stipend
because
of
the
extraordinary
amount
of
training
and
so
forth.
You
have
to
to
do,
but
it's
very
rare
that
just
an
average
citizen
can
withstand
that
amount
of
public
scrutiny
in
public
pushback.
B
We
can
we
sign
up
for
it,
but
but
it's
extraordinarily
rare
and
so
again,
I
want
to
say
that
just
me
personally
to
be
as
dramatic
as
I
feel
about
it.
I
thank
God
for
you,
because
I
don't
think
that
anybody
would
imagine
can
accurately
imagine
what
would
have
happened
if
our
tax
digest
have
been
thrown
out.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
lender
that
would
have
funded
the
city,
not
because
Columbus
isn't
a
fantastic
City,
but
Atlanta
is
not
sure.
B
But
one
I'd
like
to
make
a
referral
that
you
adopt
as
a
policy
and
to
have
a
countywide
tax
assessment
once
every
ten
years,
no
later
than
once,
every
ten
years
and
I'd
also
like
to
make
a
referral
that
at
any
time,
if
there
is
a
100
percent
increase
or
more
of
any
parcel,
that
is
not
due
to
improvement
or
construction,
but
simply
an
increase
in
valuation.
Would
it
be
revert
that
it
be
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
chief
appraiser
and
by
the
chair
of
the
board
or
something
along
those
lines?
B
I'd
like
you
to
to
consider
that
because
I
believe
in
a
a
software
expert
but
but
I
frankly,
think
that
that
what
happened
to
us
was
a
result
of
not
having
done
a
countywide
tax
assessment
for
35
years.
I
think
it
was
the
result
of
the
anomalies
that
we
did
not
know
of
or
truly
appreciate,
when
all
that
information
was
loaded
on
the
wave,
the
tidal
wave
of
those
anomalies
resulting
from
those
35
years,
we
just
overloaded
our
system.
B
It
could
not
be
humanly
dealt
with
in
the
timeframe
which
we
had
I'm,
not
sure
we
appreciated
the
number
of
anomalies
going
into
it
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we
appreciated
the
political
passion
and
impact
of
what
those
anomalies
and
the
overloading
the
system
would
bring
and
I
think
all
that
resulted
in
obviously
anger,
concern
and
fear
on
everybody's
part.
So
I
think
if
we
can
build
into
the
system
a
10-year
review
and
a
review
of
any
valuation
of
over
100
percent.
That's
not
the
result
of
an
improvement
or
some
sort
of
construction.
B
If
we
have
the
zoning
anomalies
for
all
these
residents
live
in
these
industrial
areas,
we
could
have
taken
care
of
that
if
we've
known
for
five
years
ago,
eight
ten
years
ago,
so
so
anyway,
I
hope
you'll
take
that
under
advisement
I'll
try
to
get
the
letter
out
this
week
so
again.
Thank
you
all.
Thank
you.
F
L
F
P
Great
thank
you
all
good
morning.
Let's
talk
about
community
branding
for
a
few
minutes.
One
of
my
goals
this
morning
is
to
take
what
normally
is
a
45
minute
presentation
and
boil
it
down
to
10
to
15
minutes.
So
that
means
we're
going
to
hit
just
the
highlights
of
what
this
community
branding
initiative
is.
P
This
came
about
through
one
of
the
strategic
items
from
the
Columbus
2025
program
of
work
initiated
by
the
Greater
Columbus
Chamber
of
Commerce,
so
the
branding
process
began
as
a
request
for
proposal
for
companies
that
specialized
in
research
based
branding
place,
brainier
community
branding
a
panel
was
convened
to
vet.
Those
responses
and
Chandler
thinks
was
selected.
This
is
a
company
with
a
national
reputation
for
place.
Branding
such
as
Columbus
was
looking
for.
P
P
Brand
truths
emerge
from
that
research.
This
is
where
the
team
at
channel
of
things
takes
that
research
and
it's
a
quite
lengthy
document,
and
they
begin
to
boil
that
down
into
items
that
they
can
use
to
help
us
arrive
at
our
community
brands.
So
brand
truths
emerge
from
that
again
highlighting
some
of
those
that
Columbus's
relationship
with
the
river
drives
its
reputation.
P
There's
a
synergy
associated
with
the
original
city
in
Columbus,
which
is
our
uptown
Fort
Benning,
and
the
military
certainly
have
a
key
influence
on
our
community.
There's
a
drive
for
economic
and
cultural
progress
so
much
so
that
is
actually
a
part
of
our
culture.
A
part
of
our
DNA
and
Columbus
does
things
in
big
and
bold
ways,
and
we
are
known
for
thinking
and
doing
big
things.
P
The
next
step
is
to
blam
brand
platform
that
is
crafted
from
again
from
the
research.
It
focuses
on
a
target
audience.
It
looks
at
geography
and
it
describes
the
brand
promise,
and
that
is
that
will
curb
urban
culture
and
outdoors
encourage
discovery.
And
then
what
is
the
benefit
from
that
brand
promise?
And
the
promise
is
that
there
is
adventure
here
in
Columbus.
P
P
Everyone
is
familiar
with
the
it
cities
in
the
south
there
on
every
list.
Columbus
are
ready
to
break
into
that
list.
We're
not
a
backorder
we're
a
city
of
250,000
strong,
our
downtown,
no
wait.
Our
uptown
thrives
day
and
night.
Brick
and
steel
buildings
of
the
past
now
make
up
our
renovated
24th
century
skyline.
Instead
of
our
urban
Red,
River
you're
afraid
to
touch
our
Chattahoochee
invites
you
in
our
arts
and
culture,
entertainment,
surprise,
our
world-class
museums,
inspire
outdoor
activities
abound,
government
and
business
work
together.
P
P
P
So
this
is
where
we
are
today:
Columbus
Georgia.
We
do
amazing
so
again
spend
a
few
minutes
looking
at
the
artwork,
the
tagline,
how
those
elements
all
work
together
and
let's
talk
about
the
typeface
of
Columbus.
It's
purposely
made
up
of
different
fonts,
because
our
community
is
made
up
of
different
people,
but
when
they
all
come
together,
it
makes
the
community
and
the
same
thing
happens
here.
You
have
different
typefaces
that
have
come
together
to
form
the
word
Columbus.
P
The
blocks
under
Columbus
Georgia
could
represent
our
skyline.
They
could
also
represent
building
blocks,
but,
most
importantly,
the
inspiration
is
from
the
pedestrian
bridge.
I
mentioned
just
a
moment
ago.
The
colors
of
the
river
coca-cola,
the
military,
the
red
bricks
that
we
are
most
of
our
buildings
are
downtown
or
renown
for
for
repurposing
purposes.
P
It's
also
a
skyline
and
the
tagline.
We
do
amazing
as
a
little
bit
of
an
attitude.
It
speaks
that
the
fact
that
Columbus
does
both
things
that
we
are
not
afraid
of
thinking
big
the
mark
and
tagline,
also
speaks
to
that
new
generation
that
was
identified
within
the
2025
program
of
work,
the
Millennials,
the
Generation
Z,
those
those
new
leaders
that
are
beginning
to
emerge
on
the
on
the
horizon
that
we
have
to
that.
P
We
have
to
appeal
to
as
a
city
also
keep
in
mind
that
the
tagline
we
do
amazing
is
basically
an
incomplete
sentence
as
well,
and
what
that
means
is
we
do
amazing
art.
We
do
amazing
engagement,
food.
We
do
amazing
music.
We
do
amazing
quality
of
life.
We
do
amazing
adventure.
We
do
amazing,
public-private
partnership
sports.
P
We
do
amazing
Economic
Development
and
the
list
can
go
on
and
on
depending
on
who
we're
talking
to.
So
here
are
some
examples
of
how
the
mark
is
being
used.
The
development
of
charcoal
Authority
is
using
choose
Columbus
Georgia.
We
do
amazing
logo
treatment
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
shows
how
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
may
use
the
new
tech,
but
that
the
new
branding
and
then
my
organization
is
also
going
through
a
rebranding
process.
We're
going
to
be
known
going
forward
as
visit
Columbus
GA.
P
So
we've
taken
some
of
the
elements
from
the
brand
the
community
brand
and
incorporated
that
into
our
new
logo,
treatment,
making
it
fun
and
bright
and
exciting,
but
at
the
same
time
keeping
and
respecting
the
new
community
brand.
On
the
back
side
of
our
business
cards,
we
are
respectful
to
the
new
community
brand
and
we
decided
we
wanted
to
own
the
color
orange
because
it's
such
a
fun
and
happy
color.
But
this
also
illustrates
to
how
any
organization
business
can
adapt
the
community
brand
for
their
for
their
purposes
of
telling
their
story.
P
P
Here
are
just
some
false
starters
of
how
we
might
use.
We
do
amazing
in
our
DNA
into
our
public
spaces,
the
street
banners
public
benches,
where
people
can
gather
perhaps
on
the
pedestrian
bridge.
Excuse
me
on
the
bridge
connecting
the
the
Riverwalk
at
the
Eagle
and
Phoenix
little
placeholder
signs
at
restaurants.
We
do
amazing
food,
or
perhaps
in
retail,
where
we
have
amazing
place
for
shopping,
and
one
of
my
favorites
is
a
piece
of
public
art
and
I'm,
really
hopeful
that
someone
will
latch
onto
this
and
make
this
happen.
P
So
you
have
a
piece
of
public
art
somewhere
in
our
city,
that
with
the
word
amazing
and
it
becomes
a
selfie
station.
So
when
someone
stands
in
front
of
that
piece
of
art,
something
snapped
that
that
Instagram
or
that
Facebook
page
that
photo,
it
forms
the
word.
I
am
amazing
and
that
individual
begins
to
embed
themselves
in
their
amazing
story
for
our
community
again.
Another
example
of
perhaps
a
public
art
a
place
on
our
River
wall,
where
people
can
gather
and
come
together.
P
The
external
campaign
is
underway
where
we
have
been
pitching
that
story
to
our
to
our
stakeholders.
Here's
a
brief
list
of
some
of
those
publications.
We've
had
over
almost
a
quarter
of
a
million
impressions,
just
in
the
short
time
that
this
campaign
has
been
underway.
So
we're
super
excited
about
that.
There's
a
website!
That's
up
amazing
Columbus
GA!
P
This
will
be
continued
to
be
built
out
as
we
roll
out
this
local
grassroots
initiative
and
storytelling,
and
this
will
also
give
our
citizens
an
opportunity
to
tell
their
stories
and
have
these
stories
live
on
this
website.
As
that,
we
looked
at
the
new
community
brand,
the
most
important
thing
about
the
brand-
and
this
is
something
that
Chandler
Steve
Chandler
and
his
team
drilled
into
this
from
day,
one
of
the
branding
process
that
the
community
brand
really
is
not
about
the
mark
or
the
tagline.
P
P
This
is
what
it's
really
all
about,
that
Columbus
is
an
amazing
place
and
we
do
amazing
things,
because
we
have
amazing
people,
and
the
next
stage
is
the
engagement
phase
that
we're
entering
into
needs
to
include
real,
authentic
experiences
and
we'll
be
looking
for
citizens,
businesses,
etc.
To
be
a
part
of
that
again,
it's
more
than
a
logo.
It's
about
everyone
and
everything
always
telling
a
story.
P
C
B
F
Belden
to
come
and
make
sure
that
he
shares
the
method
means
or
of
how
this
came
about
and
where
it
comes
from
and
how
it's
being
spread
throughout
used
throughout
the
community
and
as
a
mayor
indicated,
many
city
departments
have
already
started
to
use
it.
It's
on
our
website.
If
you
go
there
you'll
see
Columbus
Georgia.
We
do
amazing.
F
We
are
going
to
start
to
transition
the
logo
on
our
vehicles,
we're
not
going
to
just
replace
all
the
logos,
but
as
we
would
have
to
put
a
new
logo
on
an
old
vehicle
or
we
get
new
vehicles.
We
want
to
go
with
a
new
logo,
and
so
you'll
have
both
what
progress
has
preserved.
And
you
remember
you
know
that
logo
so
you'll
see
that
logo
continue
to
be
out
there
for
some
time
until
we
phase
in
Columbus
Georgia.
F
We
do
amazing
over
a
period
of
time,
perhaps
years
so
we'll
see,
but
we
are
moving
in
that
direction.
So
if
you
start
to
see
the
new
logo
on
the
vehicles,
just
want
you
to
know
that
we're
transitioning
and
we're
just
not
going
to
do
them
all
at
one
one
time,
but
we're
excited
about
the
new
brand
and
just
wanted
you
to
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
most
about
any
questions.
All.
K
Good
morning,
mr.
bannon
I
was
particularly
interested
in
the
some
of
the
pictures
that
you
showed
of
how
this
can
be
use.
The
de-seeding
it
looked
looked
like
those
boxes.
Those
colorful
boxes
of
different
sizes
would
make
grape
seating,
particularly
in
our
Uptown
area,
when
people
want
to
just
sit
and
watch
the
river
or
whatever
they
want
to
do
and
I'm,
assuming
that.
K
P
There
have
been
a
number
of
presentations
already,
probably
the
most
widespread
was
during
an
inner-city
visit
recently
to
Pittsburgh
a
lot
of
that
leadership
saw
or
were
exposed
to
the
brand,
but
also
a
lot
of
those
organizations
were
part
of
the
branding
research
and
some
of
the
focus
groups
that
we
discussed
as
as
Chandler
thinks,
and
his
team
immersed
themselves
in
the
community.
So
very
much
so,
and.
K
P
Exactly
I
mean
it
probably
to
say
of
a
few
phone
calls
they're
welcome
to
call
our
office
at
the
visit.
Columbus,
GA
and
we'd
be
glad
to
redirect
them
or
help
them,
maybe
directly
with
those
requests.
But
as
leading
heading
up
this,
the
branding
initiative,
it's
been.
My
responsibility
has
to
volunteer
for
2025,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
field
any
phone
calls
and
to
assist
in
any
way
and.
K
F
Q
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
of
being
here
this
morning,
I
want
to
share
a
little
bit
of
history
about
why
we're
here
this
morning
and
then
what
I
want
to
get
to
the
real
real
meat
of
the
conversation.
From
that
we
all
know.
We
were
the
issue
in
dealing
with
traffic
in
the
community
of
dealing
with
the
signals
themselves
in
terms
of
how
their
coordinator
or
not
coordinator,
at
least
we're
being
accused
of
not
being
having
coordinated.
At
times.
Q
We
have
particularly
issue
out
there
at
beaver
run
and
Flat
Rock
in
kitten
Lake,
where
all
that
try
to
merge
us
at
one
time,
and
there
are
times
that
traffic
is
backed
up
in
both
directions
for
at
least
half
mile.
It
can
be
particularly
on
peak
hour
times
on
a
Friday
or
even
long,
Monday,
where
it
doesn't
happen
just
in
the
afternoons.
It
also
happens
in
the
mornings
and
also
happens
at
noon
as
well.
Q
Well,
the
issue
is
I
mean
in
most
case
would
have
been:
let's
go
out
there
and
see
what
we
can
do
about
widening
that
roadway
or
changing
the
configuration
or
something
but
an
honest
in
all
honesty,
when
you
look
at
that
and
I
meant
to
bring
an
aerial
to
show
you
again
to
remind
us
all,
there's
not
a
whole
lot,
much
much
more.
We
can
do
out
there.
Q
The
everything
is
built
up
around
the
intersection
and
so
the
Cure
you're,
probably
if
we
talk
about
real
cure
from
that,
we
do
where
we've
done
in
the
past,
we're
probably
worse
than
that
into
the
actual
disease.
In
this
case,
so
we
have
to
come
up
with
something
a
little
more
innovative.
A
little
more
thought
provoking
some
time
that
we
had
had
an
outside
firm,
come
to
us
and
share
with
us
some
information
about
some
signals
and
so
forth,
and
about
some
advanced
technology.
That
would
help
to
do
that.
Q
The
reason
I'm
here
this
morning
is
because
the
through
our
NPO
funds,
we
were
getting
ready
to
spend
some
dollars
toward
doing
just
that
right.
It's
more
of
a
test
case
than
anything
else.
That's
when
Gina
came
back
to
us
and
said
we
have
a
program.
We
think
you
be
interested
in
that
can
help
us
and
also,
at
the
same
time,
save
you
some
funding
involved
with
all
that
I'm
happy
this
morning
to
introduce
to
you
Kate
Sharon.
Q
She
is
the
state
signal
engineer
for
G
dot
and
for
us
as
well,
and
she
is
brought
along
with
her-
are
her
there
consultant.
One
of
their
consulting
anyway
is
Sean
Coleman,
who
is
from
Kimberly
horn
they're,
going
to
come
this
morning
and
explain
to
you
what
their?
What
we're
trying
to
do,
we're
trying
to
accomplish
also
I
think
we'll
have
some
good
information
for
you
in
terms
of
weights,
what
it's
going
to
involve
for
us
to
actually
implement
this.
S
R
I'm
here
to
explain
a
lot
of
the
G
dot
initiatives
that
we're
currently
proposing
for
we're
doing
for
all
of
the
state
of
Georgia.
This
is
both
for
on
system
and
off
system
for
most
of
the
stuff,
that
I'll
explain
and
we
did
do
a
pilot
study
on
state
route,
22,
beaver,
Run,
Road,
so
right
now
we're
in
the
process
of
upgrading
traffic
signal
software
throughout
the
whole
state
on
this
again
is
for
on
system
and
off
system.
So
we
would
do
your
entire
network.
R
We've
also
got
a
central
software
that
does
automated
traffic
signal
performance
measures.
We
can
do.
We
have
a
software
inventory
site
and
we
can
assist
with
some
maintenance
and
upgrades
on
system.
There
are
some
programs
that
do
off
system
as
well,
and
we
brought
Sean
Coleman.
He
is
the
lead
for
the
contract
for
this
region,
that
includes
G,
dots,
district,
3,
&,
4
and
part
of
seven,
and
he
is
part
of
this
new
contract
that
we're
doing
with,
which
is
dedicating
10
million
dollars
to
the
entire
state
for
just
traffic
signal
operations.
R
It's
also
a
web-based
software,
which
means
that
your
texts
do
not
have
to
have
downloaded
software
onto
their
computer
when
we
send
out
an
upgrade
to
the
software,
everyone
gets
it
because
it's
just
on
the
web.
This
can
also
send
upgrades
to
the
software
directly
to
the
signals.
It's
a
lot
easier
to
program.
I'm
sure
you
guys
haven't
actually
dealt
with
signal
software
before,
but
it
used
to
be
very
dry
and
very
difficult
to
use.
This
is
very
user
friendly.
R
It's
a
lot
easier
to
train
the
technicians
on
how
to
use
it,
and
one
of
the
advantages
of
this
new
software
is
transitioning
between
plans
is
almost
immediate.
So
in
the
past,
if
you
were
going
from
an
AM
plan
to
a
mid-day
plan,
it
may
take
several
minutes.
This
could
take
seconds.
So
it
goes
a
lot
faster
and
keeps
the
corridor
moving
a
lot
better.
R
So
this
is
what
our
software
looks
like
the
nice
thing
about
the
software
is
that
it
you
can
dial
directly
into
the
controllers,
so
this
H
IP
address
at
the
top
I
actually
is
one
of
your
signals
at
state
route.
22
at
I-85,
southbound,
we've
stuck
a
4G
modem
in
there
when
we
did
the
retiming
effort
out
there
over
the
summer
and
I
was
actually
able
to
access
this
signal
and
I
can
see
from
my
computer
in
Atlanta,
which
lights
are
green,
which
lights
are
red,
where
there's
vehicle
detection,
where
there's
ped
detection.
R
So
we
can
make
remote
monitoring
decisions
and
we
can
change
the
signal
based
off
of
the
data
that
we're
collecting
to
improve
the
corridor
in
real-time.
We
also
have
a
central
software
that
comes
with
this
package.
It's
a
map
based
which
makes
it
a
lot
easier
to
visualize.
What's
going
on
out
there,
you
can
see
the
corridor
as
a
whole,
which
lights
are
red
which
lights
are
green
and
when
in
which
directions.
It's
easy
connection
to
all
that
signal
information,
and
this
allows
us
to
remotely
monitor
all
the
data.
R
So
you
don't
have
to
rely
on
a
citizen
complaint
to
know
if
some
wrong,
it's
data-driven
timing,
adjustments,
we're
actually
making
a
timing
adjustment
based
off
of
where
you
need
more
green
time
or
where
vehicles
are.
We
can
send
out
automatic
notifications
of
when
something's
operating
unexpectedly.
R
So
if
detection
is
out,
you
can
get
an
email
notification
that
says
something
is
wrong
here
and
you
can
check
it
out
online
before
sending
your
staff
out.
It
saves
a
lot
of
time,
especially
statewide
for
us,
but
for
you
guys
as
well
from
people
driving
to
locations
where
their
mayor
name
may
not
be
an
issue,
and
it
does
provide
a
lot
of
data
for
operational
improvements
in
the
future.
We
can
collect
counts
through
this
as
well.
R
R
R
This
can
tell
us
if
the
light
is
being
the
green
time
is
being
used
effectively
or
if
we
can
move
that
elsewhere
to
another
movement,
our
vehicles
arriving.
When
the
signal
is
green
or
red,
we
can
adjust
the
offsets
between
signals
to
make
sure
that
vehicles
are
arriving
when
it's
green
as
opposed
to
having
to
stop
and
then
go,
and
if
you
have
specific
priority
movements
like
a
left
turn
off
of
a
freeway,
then
we
can
make
sure
that
they're
getting
enough
green
time
compared
to
other
movements.
R
We
can
look
at
arrivals
on
red
as
well
turning
movement
counts
and
approach.
Volumes
are
probably
the
ones
that
you
guys
would
be
most
interested
in.
So
this
is
our
public
facing
website.
Those
are
three
of
your
signals
that
we
currently
have
online
and
we
can
collect.
Data
on
I
did
not
pull
the
data
specifically
from
those
signals
for
this
presentation,
but
you
are
welcome
to
go
online
and
pull
it.
R
They
haven't
been
on
very
long
on
line
very
long,
so
the
data
is
limited
at
this
point,
but
the
longer
they're
on
the
more
data
we
have
and
the
more
that
we
can
do
data-driven
timing
changes.
So
this
is
an
example
of
what
we
can
do
from
my
computer
sitting
in
Atlanta.
I
can
remote
into
a
signal
down
here,
so
this
chart
is
showing
when
vehicles
are
arriving.
The
Green
Line
is
when
the
vehicle
is
green
and
then
the
yellow
is
when
it's
or
when
the
signal
for
that
movement
is
green.
R
The
yellow
is
when
it
turns
yellow
and
then
the
red
is
when
it
turns
it
red.
So
you
can
see
all
the
black
dots
are
vehicles
approaching
the
signal
in
the
bad
scenario
they're
all
approaching
before
it
turns
green,
which
means
that
they
now
have
to
slow
down
and
stop.
Then
we
made
a
change
to
the
offset,
and
now
all
those
vehicles
are
arriving
when
the
signal
is
green,
they're
just
flowing
right
through
this
is
another
one
that
we
can
do
with
the
data.
R
R
R
Currently,
we've
done
winnette
athens-clarke,
Cobb,
Clayton,
Macon,
Augusta,
Gainesville,
Roswell
and
Alpharetta
we're
working
right
now
with
Valdosta
and
Noonan
Fitzgerald,
and
hopefully
with
y'all
to
convert
your
system.
We
do
the
whole
system
at
once.
It's
a
turnkey
deployment.
We
come
in
with
our
staff,
they
take
all
of
your
current
existing
timing.
They
convert
it
to
this
new
platform
we
put
in
the
CPU
that
is
required
to
collect
this
data
if
any
of
the
equipment
in
signal
cabinets
does
not
work
with
the
upgraded
CPU,
because
it
is
more
powerful.
R
Some
of
the
power
supplies
we've
come
across.
Just
aren't
strong
enough
for
it.
We
will
also
replace
that
equipment
so
that
this
runs
as
it's
supposed
to
and
we
provide
the
license
to
the
central
software
and
we
would
have
to
negotiate
not
money
wise,
but
how
you
guys
want
to
set
up
if
you
want
it
on-site
or
if
you
want
to
use
our
software
or
our
server.
R
So
on
top
of
that,
what
do
we
do
with
all
of
this
data
that
we're
now
collecting
with
this
new
software?
We've
got
three
contracts?
We
divided
the
state
into
three
regions.
We've
got
ten
million
dollars
that
G
Dodd
is
dedicating
every
year
towards
just
signal
operations
for
this
region.
Kimly
horne
is
our
prime
I
brought
Sean
Coleman.
Who
is
one
of
the
kimly
Horne
engineers?
R
They
do
a
lot
of
the
actual
retiming
work
that
we
do
and
they
will
monitor
the
data
we
can
be
as
involved
or
not
involved
with
signal
operations,
as
the
city
would
like.
Some
cities,
don't
have
any
traffic
engineering
staff
and
we
can
provide
them
a
lot
of
support.
Others
have
their
own
and
we're
just
kind
of
there
to
answer
questions.
R
So
what
can
our
contracts
do?
We've
got
traffic
signal
timing,
which
we've
done
on
State
Route
22,
actually
through
a
previous
contract.
So
this
is
a
more
robust
contract
that
we
have
now.
We
can
fine
tune
existing
timing
plans.
We
can
do
full
retiming
x',
we
can
put
in
holiday
timing
plans
or
evacuation
timing
plans,
or
if
you
have
special
events
in
your
city,
we
can
put
in
plans
for
things
like
that.
We
can
also
do
traffic
responsive,
which
is
a
step
up
to
adaptive.
R
R
Our
consultant
staff
will
also
respond
to
max
your
alarms
or
send
them
to
whoever
is
appropriate
in
your
staff
on
their
fine
tuning
using
those
performance
measures
and
they
can
identify
locations
for
CCTV
and
travel
time
detectors.
This
is
advantageous
if
we
are
more
involved,
because
obviously
most
of
our
staff
is
in
Atlanta
and
if
we
can
see
what's
going
on
while
we're
making
changes,
it
makes
it
a
better
program
overall
if
we
did
identify
CCTV
locations.
That
is
something
that
we
can
also
fund.
R
Okay.
So
this
was
our
pilot
project
on
state
route.
22.
We
did
five
signals.
Aecom
did
this
through
our
statewide
retiming
contract,
which
was
the
previous
contract
from
what
we
have
now.
They
did
also
convert
the
timing
to
the
new
software.
Some
of
the
staff
in
the
area
was
able
to
get
trained
on
the
intellect
software,
and
so
far
we
haven't
heard
any
issues
with
the
conversion
at
all.
We
also
installed
the
4G
modem
so
that
we
could
remotely
monitor
it.
R
These
were
some
of
the
figures
that
came
out
of
that
retiming
effort.
The
average
travel
time
dropped.
This
was
for
all
three
of
the
peaks,
the
a.m.
the
midday
and
the
PM
17%.
The
average
number
stops
dropped
44%
from
two
point
three
to
one
point:
three,
so
you're
stopping
one
less
time
during
that
corridor
and
the
total
delay
dropped
43%,
we
got
a
benefit,
cost
analysis
of
what
G
dot
put
in
versus
what
we
calculate
as
savings
between
fuel
and
time
for
the
driver
as
twenty
to
one.
This
is
one
of
our
very
successful
programs.
R
One
of
the
other
things
that
we
can
offer
is
traffic
signal,
timing
or
traffic
signal
inventory
site.
This
is
also
a
web-based.
This
is
all
of
I
believe
this
is
mostly
y'all's
area
that
I
pulled
up.
It
shows
all
of
the
inventory.
That's
at
a
signal.
It
allows
for
one
place
for
everything
signal
related
to
be
kept,
and
your
staff
can
have
access
to
this
as
well.
R
We
currently
have
over
8,000
Georgia
signals.
I
used
one
of
my
contracts
to
go
around
the
state
and
do
every
signal
on
state
routes,
so
we
could
add
any
that
are
local
into
the
system.
If
you
guys
would
like
to
it's,
got
signs
traffic
signal
equipment,
pictures
of
the
cabinets
and
approaches
88
compliance
ratings.
It's
got
an
overall
rating
of
the
signal
so
that
we
can
use
this
data
in
the
future
to
program
projects
of
where
we
need
to
upgrade
signals.
How
old
the
equipment
is.
L
R
One
of
the
other
programs
that
G
dot
has
is
maintenance
and
upgrades
on
any
location.
If
you
have
a
NEMA
cabinet
still,
we
can
upgrade
those
on
system
or
off
system.
Led
signal
heads.
It's
also
something
that
we
will
do
on
an
off
system
for
the
state
route
systems
we
can
do
routine
and
preventative
maintenance
and
for
rebuilds
or
88
accommodations,
and
that's
all
on
G's
dollars.
None
of
the
stuff
I've
talked
about
today
is
something
that
you
guys
would
provide
funding
for.
I
I
L
R
Very
well
as
routes
become
clearer
and
GPSS
send
people
through
there,
because
now
they
can
get
through
there
faster.
You
will
have
increase
in
traffic.
That
is
generally
something
that
we
do
anticipate
with
this
new
software
and
getting
the
new
data.
We
can
constantly
tweak
the
timing
to
improve
it
in
the
past.
We
would
have
gone
out
there,
don't
know
full
retiming
and
just
left
it
for
one
or
two
or
three
years,
depending
upon
when
funding
allowed
for
another
retiming.
R
I
R
J
Dissing
piggybacks
what
counsel
right,
because
my
district
is
on
the
other
side
of
the
intersection
going
back
down,
Flat
Rock
and
that
bottleneck
there
has
been
a
problem
for
years
and
we'll
be
looking
for
release
I
appreciate
very
much.
What
you're
trying
to
do.
We
hope
to
get
those
residents
down
further
down
flat
rocks
from
relief
from
that
bottleneck.
Is
it
backs
up
down
there
and
the
other
piece
of
this
I
think
we
don't
have
a
timeline
yet
Rick
we've
got
a
roundabout
out.
J
There
just
pass
this
with
intent
of
getting
some
of
that
truck
traffic
off
going
through
that
bottleneck
because
they
cut
down
Flat
Rock
to
cross
making
to
get
into
industrial
park
because
there's
a
light
there.
The
insurance
companies
and
trucking
companies
require
them
use
that
light,
but
once
the
roundabout
further
out
is
complete,
they
won't
have
to
do
that.
J
The
idea
you
always
for
them
to
go
out
to
the
end
of
beaver
run
come
back
in,
take
that
lock
off
the
truck
route,
and
that
should
relieve
some
of
the
problems
and,
in
conjunction
with
the
new
signal,
I
hope
those
people
out.
There
will
get
some
relief
I
said:
we've
been
working
on
it
for
six
or
seven
years,
and
it's
been
a
difficult
time
for
because
really
just
flat.
J
Rock
Road
is
really
just
a
if
you
grew
up
here,
used
to
be
just
a
sleepy
country
street
and
there's
nothing
but
residences
on
there
and
you've
got
the
18
wheelers
going
down
there
to
go
into
the
industrial
park,
so
I
think
the
round
outing
at
the
roundabout,
in
conjunction
with
this
I
hope,
will
really
get
some
relief
out
there.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
work.
Q
Baker
you're
absolutely
correct:
there
is
a
post
route
about
going,
we're
discussing
that
with
DDOT
now
and
they're
in
the
design
phase
of
that
force
to
happen.
The
other
thing
we
need
to
keep
in
mind
that
another
councillor,
Alan
I've,
had
some
conversations
about
in
in
the
past
is
we're
not.
We
haven't,
seen
all
development
it's
going
to
actually
occur
on
that
in
that
corridor
out
there.
Q
Yet
in
fact,
we're
in
the
midst
of
now
going
through
the
process
of
getting
Gary
go
through
a
process
of
rezoning
for
very
large
trying
to
land
out
there
to
have
potential
for
some
really
heavy
and
heavy
induced
traffic
that
could
be
generated
from
that
site.
We
got
to
work
through
that,
so,
whatever
we
can,
whether
we
can
find
you
whatever
we
can
do
to
try
to
help
alleviate
that
because,
like
I
said
earlier,
there's
nothing
that
I
know
whether
we
can
go
out
there
without
tearing
up
everything
up
starting
over
that.
Q
We
can
do
right
now
to
help
alleviate
some
of
that
traffic.
So
we
got
to
be
somebody
active
in
terms
of
doing
this,
but
one
thing
I
want
to
make
sure
cake
tells
you
tells
you
also
know
if
you
express
its
enough
to
them.
The
actual
cost
of
doing
this
I
see
a
lot
of
you
already
grabbed
me
wallet.
So
let
me
tell
you
you
tell
it
tell
us
what
it
calls
for
us
to
do
this.
Nothing.
Q
We
were
we
weren't
either.
Like
I
said,
we
were
getting
ready
to
start
spending
some
funds
from
the
our
the
NPO
and
what
we
were
looking
at
just
to
that
little
section
of
five
intersect
there's
a
little
over
a
million
dollars,
so
you
can
see
the
value
we're
gonna
get
I.
Think
in
terms
of
doing
this,
we
wanted
to
bring
it
to
you.
First
I'll,
let
you
know
what
we
were
trying
to
achieve
here,
what
we're
trying
to
do
before
we
actually
put
into
process
for
we.
We
gave
it
back
to
them
and
said
yeah.
Q
We
need
to
go
forward.
The
other
thing
we
wanted
to
see
was
what
they
were.
Actually
results
were
from
what
they've
done
up
and
you
pay
that
they're,
probably
what
three
weeks
now
that
that's
software
or
in
that
neighborhood,
so
you
can
see
the
real
value
are
already
seeing.
I
think
in
doing
this,
and
the
next
step
I
think
is
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
timeline
is
to
actually
implement
this
citywide.
If
we
so
desire
to
do
that,
all.
K
Q
R
Q
I
don't
know
we're
gonna
see
the
real
value
of
this
until
it
actually
happens,
but
when
there's
something
going
on
on,
one
of
our
roadways
will
be
an
accident
or
something
that's
slowing
down
traffic.
This
system
will
Lucia's
like
identify
that
and
help
us
adjust
those
those
signals
to
accommodate
that,
at
least
through
the
time
when
that,
when
that
period
is
over
with
so
we
could
so
they
can
say
actually
sit
now
at
their
at
their
jet.
But
you
said
to
you,
and
so
they
can
make
these
adjustments
there.
Q
We
don't
have
to
send
a
crew
there
to
do
this
on
all
that
good
stuff
that
goes
with
it.
This
is
gonna,
be
almost
instantaneous,
it's
being
hands-on
and
the
other
thing
I
want
make.
Sure
we
all
understand
too,
is
I'm
not
trying
to
oversell
this
to
you.
I
know:
we've
all
heard
you
know
wonderful
things
about,
you
know
about
signal
systems
and
they
come
here.
Q
How
we're
going
to
have
we're
gonna,
get
the
timings
done
and
everybody
one
get
green
lights
with
no
matter
where
they
go
I'm
not
trying
to
oversell
it,
but
I
think
we're
getting
to
a
process
here
now
with
the
technology.
Is
there
to
help
us
adjust
these
signals
and
maintain
our
traffic
flow
through
the
community
at
a
proper
pace?
That's
what
we're
trying
to
achieve.
So
this.
What
we're
trying
one.
K
One
other
thing
I
wanted
to
ask
you.
We
I
believe
that
you
said
you
can
do
some
of
this
programming
for
special
event
kinds
of
things,
I'm
thinking
about
the
times
that
I
have
gone
to
a
an
event
at
the
River
Center
in
Uptown
and
when
it
was
over
everybody
and
their
brothers
trying
to
get
out
of
Uptown,
the
traffic
lights
are
all
still
set
for
noon.
T
Morning,
Shawn
:
with
Kim
Lee
horn,
we're
doing
that
right
now
for
the
new
mercedes-benz
stadium,
Phillips
Arena
in
downtown
Atlanta
and
special
events
of
multiple
sizes
across
the
state
of
Georgia
and
across
the
country.
So
yeah,
absolutely
it's
it's
usually
the
one
or
two
issues:
it's
usually
the
the
timing
is
stuck
in
something
a
typical
weekend.
That's
a
little
more
sleepy,
not
quite
as
intense
as
at
events
or
you
have
police.
T
Take
over
a
complete
control
of
the
signal
system,
put
everything
in
flash
which
which
can
work,
but
there's
no
semblance
of
coordination
between
signals
and
it's
not
a
system-wide
approach.
So,
for
instance,
what
we've
done
with
the
city
of
Atlanta
have
convinced
the
officers
to
not
do
traffic
control
work
with
the
signals,
flush,
traffic
out
and
keep
the
pedestrians
safe.
T
K
I
know
that
sometimes,
for
example,
the
example
I
gave
of
River
Center,
the
police
officers
are
on
Broadway,
but
they're,
not
on
First,
Avenue
or
second
Avenue,
and
those
lights
are
also
set
for.
You
know,
as
you
said,
absolutely
some
other
time.
So
as
that
happens,
I've
had
people
say
to
me
that
the
traffic
lights
in
Columbus
need
to
be
coordinated,
need
to
be
synced.
They
are,
they
turn
red
every
time,
I
pull
up
to
us.
K
H
I
You
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
say
before
you
left,
we've
had
two
events
and
out
in
the
council
district
six
councillor,
Thomas
and
councillor
Henderson
were
there
and
we
talked
through
some
of
these
transportation
improvements
and
the
citizens
are
very
excited,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
publicly
for
all
you're
doing
to
help
us
in
that
area.
So
thank
you.
F
F
You
for
these
quality
of
life
improvements
they're
part
food.
Yes,
absolutely
next
I
am
going
to
call
director
John
Hutchison
for
the
solid
waste
ordinance
and
know
that
councillor
Garrett,
Walker
Garrett,
has
been
working
with
him
us
on
this,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
partial
update
because
we're
not
done
yet
and
so
John
Hutchison
is
here
and
we've
got
Health
Department
officials
here
and
they're
interested
in
this
as
well,
and
so
mr.
Hudgens
morning.
U
All
of
that,
like
I,
said,
September
18th
special
enforcement
was
moved
over
to
inspections
and
codes.
Like
I
said.
Since
that
time
me
and
the
City
Attorney's
Office
has
been
on
the
phone
pretty
much
every
day,
trying
to
work
out
definitions
figure
out
what
we
have
to
kind
of
streamline.
What
we
have
in
the
ordinance
kind
of
to
recap,
like
I,
said
on
existing
properties
that
we
had
a
concern.
U
Inspectors
and
codes
dealt
with
the
structures
and
we
only
dealt
with
the
buildings
and
anything
kind
of
in
the
grass
or
pools,
or
things
like
that
was
under
special
enforcement,
which
was
under
Public
Works,
and
now
it's
all
under
inspection
code.
So
we're
just
trying
to
consolidate
some
of
the
work
we
did
and
try
to
lessen
the
confusion
on
a
lot
of
the
ordinances.
U
There
were
some
modifications,
as
drill
was
helping
with
special
enforcement
and
over
that
department
that
division
and
those
things
were
brought
in
May
of
17
and
approved
by
council
in
August
of
2017
from
one
of
the
biggest
ones.
There
is
now
we
can
go
after
the
owner
and
the
occupant
previously
was
only
the
owner
that
showed
that
was
listed
on
the
property.
So
we
couldn't
really
do
much.
If
the
occupant
there
was
dumping
trash
and
things
like
that,
it
would
always
go
back
to
their
owner
and
only
be
like.
Well,
hey.
U
You
know,
let's
see
if
we
can
go
after
the
person
actually
living
in
the
facility.
Now
that
verbage
has
been
added
into
the
ordinance
I've
six
sections
I
have
the
health
department.
Here,
we've
met
we've
discussed
items.
Some
of
the
stuff
is
still
previous
before
the
dates
of
consolidation,
so
there's
a
Columbus
Department
of
Public
Health
that
was
actually
run
by
the
city
and
then
the
Muscogee
County
Department
of
Health,
and
a
lot
of
that
verbiage
is
still
in
the
ordinance.
So
therefore
I
met
with
them
to
determine
hey.
This
is
Health
Department.
U
What
do
you
currently
do
from
this
point
forward?
And
what
have
we
done
in
the
past
to
work
all
that
out?
So
we're
working
with
that
and
kind
of
getting
a
lot
of
that
revised?
So
we
understand
that
process
and
and
kind
of
the
two
realms
we
work
in
and,
like
I
said,
I've
talked
to
the
former
division
manager
drill
and
also
with
special
enforcement
officers,
to
kind
of
get
ideas
and
suggestions
to
strengthen
the
ordinances.
Those
are
quickly
right
there,
all
of
the
ordinances
that
we
do
do
solid
waste,
weeds
business
license.
U
Noah's
ordinance
scrap,
tires
alcohol,
license
salvage
yards
of
fencing,
exercise,
taxes
and
mobile
home
registration,
so
the
seven
individuals,
plus
the
one
supervisor
that
we
have
that's
that's
their
daily
daily
tasks.
We
want
to
go
through
kind
of
what
we
currently
do
enforce
like
I
said
for
weeds.
We
can
do
an
initial
10-day
warning
and
then
there
are
no
additional
warnings
for
three
years.
U
Every
time
well
used
to
happen
is
that
if
somebody
was
a
repeat,
offender
we'd
have
to
come
back
every
time
to
give
him
a
warning,
and
if
we
knew
that
they
were
repeat
offenders
now
we
can
go
straight
to
giving
them
a
citation.
If
it
happens
within
that
3-year
window,
the
intent
is
to
also
add
that
to
junk
vehicles.
So
if
we
have
people
that
can
constantly
do
the
same
type
of
things
to
be
able
to
do
that
as
well.
U
I'm
under
solid
waste,
like
I,
said
it's
officer,
discretion,
but
more
times
than
itis
the
five
to
ten
day
warning,
then
they're
cited
and
taken
to
court
salvage
yards
commercial
fences
junkyards
any
things
like
that.
We
have
to
make
sure
they
have
those
screens
around
them.
That's
the
15
day
warning
and
they're
usually
notified
they're,
instructing
city
right
away
like
I,
said
three
three-day
warning
slash
discretionary
just
depends
on
the
severity
of
the
issue.
U
If
it's
a
public
safety,
if
it's
blocking
a
stop
sign
or
some
type
of
vision,
issues
like
that
we
can,
we
can
speed
that
process
up
jump
vehicles
on
private
property
15
days.
I
know
we
talked
about
it
on
a
legislative
agenda,
some
issues
there
about
being
able
to
strengthen
that.
So
we
can
possibly
tow
off
the
private
property
due
to
own
own
issues
that
we
deem
that
are
nuisances
city
right
away
is
still
currently
seven
days
and
scrap
tires
are
1015
day
warnings
like
I,
said
some
of
these
things.
U
Some
of
these
warnings
can
be
shortened.
I've
kind
of
talked
with
the
Health
Department
to
kind
of
see
if
certain
things
like
mosquito,
harborage
and
rats,
and
things
like
that,
we
can,
we
can
kind
of
move
a
little
more
quicker
depending
on
the
severity
of
what's
going
on.
One
thing,
I
do
want
to
speak
out
on
the
jump
vehicles.
This
is
currently
what's
in
the
ordinance
right
now.
So
out
of
these
items
that
are
there,
we
only
have
to
have
to
to
issue
a
citation
so
I
kind
of
want
to
spell
those
out.
U
So
you
all
can
kind
of
see
those
understand
where
we
were
if
we
have
somebody
with
an
unknown
ownership.
So
if
the
tag
is
off,
if
it's
overgrown
with
vegetation,
we
go
out
there
and
look
at
the
tires.
If
we
see
that
the
grass
is
higher
than
the
tires-
and
we
know
obviously
that's
been
there,
awhile
flat
tires
critical
parts.
If
the
hood
is
missing,
you
know
Trump's
going
things
like
that.
U
This
is
what's
already
in
the
ordinance,
the
one
that
I
do
want
to
kind
of
speak
out
to
you
guys
it's
about
the
responsible,
adult
resident
or
property
owner.
If
we
get
those
and
then
with
that,
in
addition
to
one
other
issue,
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
the
site.
So
I
did
want
to
point
that
out
there
that's
already
there.
It's
just.
We
just
have
not
just
used
it
as
much
as
we
should,
but
one
of
them
specifically
in
there
is
the
complaint.
U
So
we
get
the
complaint
and
we
have
one
of
the
issue
with
that
car.
We
condemn
it
as
a
junk
vehicle,
not
necessarily
two
of
the
other
things
that
are
already
there
compliance
these
are
for
immediate
citations.
We
see
any
illegal
dumping,
any
any
noise
ordinances.
Things
like
that.
We
will
immediately
go
after
that.
I
know,
I've
gotten
a
few
concerns
from
some
of
the
councillors
on
littering
and,
like
I,
said,
we'll
go
as
far
as
we
can
on
litter
cases.
U
If
we
can
find
the
originator
of
the
litter-
and
that's
always
the
biggest
issue
of
somebody
just
throws
it
out
of
the
car
is
one
issue,
but
we've
had
officers
that
if
they
see
a
trash
bag
and
if
they
find
a
letter
or
a
bill
or
a
credit
card,
so
that
you
know
something
in
there
that
we
can
we
keep.
We
have
an
address
on
we'll
go
issue,
a
citation
at
that
person's
house.
So
we
will
do
that
if
that,
if
Meishan
is
available,
it's
just
a
lot
of
times.
U
People
are
just
you
know,
you
see
a
Burger
King
couple
inside
a
road
doesn't
really
have
you
know,
address
or
anything
on
it,
but
if
we
do
find
anything
that
gives
us
any
information,
we
will
proceed.
I
know
the
mayor.
She
had
mentioned
some
issues
with
the
commercial
vehicles
and
residential
areas,
so
this
is
the
current
ordinance
that
is
already
in
place,
and
so
this
regulates
small
commercial
vehicles,
small
commercial
trailers,
large
commercial
vehicles
and
large
commercial
trailers.
U
So
based
off
of
those
you
can
have
one
commercial,
one,
small
commercial
vehicle
and
one
small
commercial,
trailer
and
one
large
commercial
vehicle.
That's
the
way
it's
written
currently,
but
it
has
to
be
on
a
driveway
or
a
concrete
parking
pad.
It
can't
just
be
on
the
side
of
the
road
and
you're
in
your
front
yard,
just
catty-corner
in
any
kind
of
way.
If,
as
long
as
it's
on
our
approved
surface,
this
is
currently
what
is
in
the
ordinance.
Now
we
don't
allow
large
commercial
trailers.
U
So
a
lot
of
times
you'll
see
the
truck
cap
in
the
neighborhood,
but
you
won't
see
the
trailer
and
so
that
we
can
regulate
it.
The
trailer
there's
special
exceptions
for
under
commercial
construction
equipment.
If
it's
a
dump
truck
it's
a
dump
truck
as
long
as
the
contents
are
empty,
there's
nothing
actually
in
the
truck.
Then
we
allow
it
to
stay
in
the
neighborhood
and
just
kind
of
a
picture
there,
and
so,
if
it's
allowed,
if
it's
you
know,
if
it's
on
a
driveway,
it's
at
the
person's
house,
it's
not
in
the
yard.
U
It's
not
on
the
road.
As
you
see
and
the
other
one
we
should
be
prohibited.
We
would
give
them
a
notice,
they're
in
a
warning
and
then
come
back
and
check.
I
know
the
city
manager
gave
us
a
I
think
there
was
one
at
Auburn
a
little
while
ago
on
the
jump
vehicle
and
we
went
out
there
and
took
care
of
that
and
issued
them
a
citation
as
well.
So,
like
I
said
once
we
see
it,
we
go
out
there
and
do
what
we
can.
U
A
lot
of
them
like
I,
said
we'll
get
calls
from
compromises,
ins
and
Adobe,
either
that
night
or
the
next
day,
and
if
we
get
out
there
and
say
they're
a
delivery
truck
driver.
You
know
if
we
get
out
there
the
next
day
that
that
current
issue
is
not
there,
so
it
really
makes
it
hard
for
us
to
be
able
to
cite
a
commercial
vehicle
if
they're
not
there.
B
U
U
That's
that's
one
of
those
that
commercial
vehicles
you
can
have,
unfortunately,
as
many
cars
as
you
want,
there's
not
a
limit
on
how
many
cars
you
can
have
now
we
can
deem
the
car
to
be
junk
if
something
is
wrong
with
it
and
it
cannot
be
moved
and
it's
no
longer
an
operable
we're
working
on
something.
Also
on
an
approved
surface,
it
may
not
necessarily
be
a
full
concrete
driveway,
but
some
type
of
approved
surface
that
we
can
make
sure
that
the
cars
are
placed
on
and
we're
looking
at
that
as
well.
H
H
L
U
Right
with
councillor
gates,
we've
been
looking
at
the
proposed
indoor/outdoor
ordinance,
and
so
this
part
of
the
ordinance
is
prohibiting
outdoor
placement
of
household
appliances,
household
furniture
or
household
furnishings
outside
of
your
outside,
of
the
four
walls
of
your
property.
So,
even
if
it
is
on
the
porch,
it
would
be
considered
if
it's
not
deemed
used
for
out
for
for
outdoor
use.
We
would
be
able
to
cite
some
of
the
preliminary
research
I've
done.
You
can
see
some
of
those
cities
there
Boulder
Colorado,
Raleigh,
Urbana
and
Ann
Arbor.
U
Those
are
more
towards
college
towns,
so
I'm
kind
of
trying
to
see
what
what
their
ordinances
have.
Because
they're
you
know,
college
kids
just
throw
a
couch
on
the
porch.
You
know
things
like
that,
so
that's
kind
of
where
these
are
coming
from
and
so
I'm
trying
to
kind
of
mold
and
see
kind
of
what
they've
done
in
in
other
areas
to
kind
of
see
how
they've
enforced
them
a
lot
of
them
have
been
on
the
books
since
2010
2009,
so
they've
been
there
a
while.
U
So
it's
just
trying
to
get
some
follow
up
on
them
to
kind
of
see
how
that's
going
and
how
it's
being
enforced,
I'm
kind
of
in
that
picture
there
you
see
that
dining
room
table
as
of
right
now
it
wouldn't
be
deemed
solid
waste
because
it
is
still
useable.
But
if
we
were
to
and
do
this
as
an
indoor
outdoor
ordinance
that
that
would
have
to
be
removed
off
the
porch
or
put
somewhere
in
storage
well,.
K
U
The
way
our
solid,
solid
waste
ordinance
is
written,
it
is
that
is
if
it's
still
useable,
that's
not
considered
solid
waste.
So
if
you
were
to
have
a
yard
sale
and
have
if
you're
selling,
you
know
things
like
that,
now
we'll
check
it
on
the
business
license
ID
to
make
sure
they're,
not
there.
You
know
all
week
selling
stuff
and
we
can
kind
of
keep
them
from
doing
that.
But
I
have
to
get
back
to
you
for
sure
on
that,
because
I'm
not
100%
well,.
B
U
U
What's
on
the
porch
like
I
said,
I
just
know,
it'd
be
a
lot
tougher
for
our
discretion
and
how
we'd
be
able
to
handle
it
like
I,
said
the
way
that
a
lot
of
these
other
ordinances
have
been
written
out.
If
it's
fully
in
the
screen
porch,
you
know
do
whatever
you
want.
You
know
if
people
get
a
sunroom
and
things
like
that.
U
H
M
Glad
the
health
department's
here
there
is
one
issue
that
I've
it's
ongoing
in
all
areas
of
the
city
and
that's
the
pools,
because
whenever
we
complain
about
the
pools-
and
there
are
a
number
of
instances
still
in
my
district
right
now-
where
someone
has
a
pool
in
Sears
woods,
the
pool
is
as
dark
as
this
year,
the
water
in
it.
So
when
we
report
it
to
help
Department
goes
out,
says,
there's
no
mosquitoes
or
whatever
and
leaves
that
doesn't
stop
this
smelly
ranked
airborne
bacterias.
M
So
now
we
need
to
have
something
that
covers
that
there's
about
three
places,
and
one
is
one
in
both
of
them:
aryans
ones
in
Farmington,
subdivision
the
others
in
Sears
woods.
So
when
I
call
out
Health
Department
goes
out,
says
no
mosquitoes.
The
water
is
still
there
right.
What
do
we
do
help
just
a
question
for
the
Health
Department.
If.
M
Needs
to
be
there's
that
catch-all
where
the
Health
Department
goes
out
and
they
divide
by
your
ordinance,
your
regulation,
but
that
and
this
one
particular
woman
is
this
one
particular
I
won't
mention
where
there's
another
case
where
this
woman
is
is
is
battling
cancer.
The
pool
is
right
outside
her
bedroom
when
she
can't
even
open
a
window
and
I
know,
we've
been
the
health
department's
been
out
there
a
number
of
times
and
they
say
no
mosquitoes,
but
that
does
not
solve
the
problem
of
their
rank,
smelly
and
airborne
bacteria.
So
now
that's
we
need
to.
V
Name
is
Christie
Ludi
and
ambien
vinyl
health,
county
manager
at
the
health
department
and
one
of
our
programs
is
vector
control.
As
you
know,
there's
there
is
a
distinct
difference
between
a
health
excuse
me
a
public
nuisance
and
a
public
health
issue
or
help
me
Hazzard.
So
when
the
environment
health
staff
goes
out
to
investigate
mosquito-borne
areas
for
larvae
such
as
in
a
pool,
we
look
to
see
if
there's
a
health
issue
or
hazard.
If
there's
not,
if
we
don't
see
any
larvae
in
the
pool,
then
that
becomes
a
health.
V
M
L
M
Much
what
about
something
that
we
can
look
into?
Yeah
I
didn't
mean
to
cut
you
off
on
sorry,
but
to
me
that
that
just
seems
to
be
a
huge
problem,
because
we
do
indoor,
why
not
outdoor
work,
we're
talking
of
a
pool
and
then
I'm
talking
about
three
areas
that
have
been
at
this
bit
more,
but
the
ones
that
concern
me.
The
three
that
I'm
bringing
up
are
individuals,
two
of
them
who
are
battling
serious
illnesses
and
like
this
one,
lady
three-time
cancer
person
can't
even
open
her
window
up.
M
So
I
think
that
if
you
do
indoor
air
quality,
something
like
that
and
I'm,
it's
just
something:
I'm
not
pointing
fingers.
This
is
just
something
that
we
need
to
correct
that
outdoor
quality
like
that
should
be
addressed
as
well,
because
it
is
a
serious,
as
you
very
well
know,
if
we
stand
next
to
putrid
water
trust
me,
you're
gonna
come
down
with
something.
So
this
is
something
that
I
just
need
to
bring
to
your
attention
that
we
need
to
address,
because
it's
a
real-life
situation
anytime,
you
have
a
pool.
M
It's
a
cobra
this
year,
unhealthy
I
can't
even
go
there.
There
and
stand
outside
because
of
the
smell,
we're
talking
about
a
woman,
who's,
who's
being
treated
with
serious
illness
and
can't
open
her
window,
and
so
this
is
something
which
has
come
up
everybody's
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
do,
because
when
the
Health
Department
goes
out,
they
say
is
no
larvae.
Well,
I'm,
not
talking
about
that.
So
this
is
something
that
then
unclear
we're
discussing.
Thank
you
John.
Thank
you
city
manager,
because
it
is
a
problem.
V
V
M
V
F
V
F
S
John,
oh
salon,
council
bonds
area
that
he
inherited
for
me
and
Regents
of
art,
there's
a
situation
where
there's
a
vacant
house
with
a
pool
in
the
backyard
and
the
people
like
they
have
to
be
bothered
with
snakes
and
rats
and
all
that
stuff
coming
up
everybody
its
final
thing
every
summer:
hey.
What
can
we
do
about
that.
U
What
I'm
currently
trying
to
put
together
two
things
is
on.
We
have
a
current,
solid
waste
and
lot
clearing
RFP
and
we're
gonna
be
revamping
that,
ideally,
what
we
want
to
do
is
also
when
we
come
and
cut
the
grass
and
get
some
of
those
weeds
down.
We're
gonna
put
some
type
of
a
wheat
prevention
spray
out
we're
gonna
spray
as
well.
So
therefore,
instead
of
we're
cutting
it,
we've
got
five
or
six
properties.
U
We'd
probably
cut
six
times
this
year,
but
if
we
go
out
there
and
put
out
some
type
of
preventative
nature
to
keep
those
weeds
from
coming
back
up,
we'll
be
able
to
to
help
with
some
of
that
we
do
do
mosquito
dunks,
like
I,
said
some
of
the
insecticides
that
we
do
use.
If
somebody
does
call
and
give
us
a
complaint
on
a
pool,
we
will
do
that.
U
We've
had
some
issues
with
draining
that
water,
because
then
now
you're
just
moving
that
problem
from
one
place
to
another
and
I
just
could
be
came
out
of
the
pool
and
now
still
standing
water
on
the
property
and
then
the
city,
because
we
physically
would
have
drained
it
created
the
issue.
Then
how
do
we
deal
with
it
so
I'm
trying
to
work
kind
of
to
figure
out?
U
What's
the
best
way
to
go
about
that,
because
there's
really
a
good
answer,
just
like
a
property
like
that,
it's
more
than
likely
foreclosed
on
trying
to
get
a
hold
of
the
owner
to
get
them
into
correct
and
they're
long
gone.
So
we're
like
I,
said
we're
just
kind
of
I'm,
just
starting
to
ask
all
the
questions
and
get
the
right
people
in
the
room
to
figure
out.
What's
the
best
way
to
to
streamline
what
we're
doing,
because.
L
S
M
M
The
other
thing
Wilson
over
is
the
when
we
have
an
absentee
landlord
and
we
send
out
well,
let
me
just
give
you,
for
instance-
and
this
is
a
constant
thing
with
with
me
I
reported
on
you-
know:
the
21st
of
August
about
high
weeds
I,
always
go
out
and
I'll
make
sure
I
check
with
my
eyes,
because
I
know
you
y'all
are
busy
and
I'm
going
to
read
right
from
here.
The
report
someone
went
out
on
isn't
very
next
day,
I
like
that,
and
they
said
that
they
sent
a
letter
out.
M
The
letter
was
sent
on
the
22nd
of
August
on
the
4th
of
October,
because
I
I
walked.
My
district
I
always
check
every
time.
I
call
something
and
I
get
a
work
order.
I
go
check,
so
was
nothing
done,
but
I
know
you're
a
busy
and
it
we've
had
a
lot
of
rain.
I've
told
the
citizens.
This
we've
had
a
lot
of
rain
just
given
time
so
in
the
fourth
of
October.
M
They
went
out
again
because
I
called-
and
they
said,
resend
another
letter
so
that
went
out
on
the
4th
of
October
I,
always
wait
two
to
three,
because
either
you're
busy
on
the
18th
I
called
Sabrina's,
as
council
of
aunts,
requested
an
update
on
the
18th
of
October.
This
is
this
is
what
was
annotated
on
the
work
order.
We
have
to
get
high
for
the
letter
to
either
be
delivered
our
return
undeliverable
before
we
can
proceed
with
contracting.
Now.
This
is
the
18th
of
October
B,
while
the
weeds
of
the
area.
M
Yes,
we're
still
waiting,
and
this
is
a
person
and
a
place,
looks
horrible,
yeah,
so
I
think
if
we
haven't,
if
we
come
up
with
and
I
know,
you
now
say:
I
know
you
where
you
work,
you
assess
that
you
like
Sherlock
Holmes,
you
assess
a
situation.
You
come
up
with
the
answer,
so
I
know
you.
Will
you
can
see
clearly
that
an
arbitrary
quick
fix
will
be
to
say?
Okay?
M
This
is
the
standard
time
for
a
letter
to
be
returned
and
whether
we
get
the
letter
or
not
that
this
is
the
standard
time
that
we
need
to
proceed
with
contracting,
because
the
surrenders
for
this
lady,
who
was
a
widow
due
to
be
there
and
she
had
all
that
around
she
keeps
her
scut.
But
the
side
of
her
area
is
like
a
jungle.
M
U
We
we
understand
that
typically,
we
do
send
them
to
a
certified
certified
letter.
So
therefore
we
know
that
they
only
received
it
now
take
because
we
had
to
resend
that
letter.
That
was
not
the
correct
owner
that
was
listed
on
the
tax
maps
I've
seen
I'm
saying
so,
where
we
have
to
make
sure
we
give
them
the
same
due
process
to
notify
them
of
what's
going
on.
So
if
there
was
an
incorrect
owner
that
was
listed.
U
M
I,
like
you,
because
you're
efficient,
let
me
put
that
first,
you
are
efficient
and
I've
seen
you
make
changes
when
you
look
at
the
situation
and
you
and
you
and
you
correct
it,
but
this
even
with
that.
Let's
go
with
the
scenario
that
you're
talking
about
it.
It
still
does
not
preclude
us
from
coming
up
with
an
arbitrary
time
period
for
us
to
say:
okay,
we
have
not
heard
back
from
them.
We
need
to
proceed
with
contractors
because
from
August
and
we're
now
November
dead
is
not
fair
to
the
citizens.
U
F
L
T
F
O
Really
appreciate
you
working
all
this
and
comparing
with
me
during
all
this
time,
I
didn't
want
to
know
if
you
think
we'll
have
the
indoor
outdoor
furniture
awareness
of
some
sort
ray
for
the
next
business
meeting.
Just
because,
as
you
know,
the
hoarder
in
our
the
neighborhood
we've
been
working
on
is
yeah
back
at
it,
and
my
constituents
call
me
weekly
about
it.
So
I
really
like
to
get
some
sort
of
leave,
even
if
we
have
to
do
something
more
comprehensive
in
the
future.
Just
so
you'll
have
some
power
to
do
something
about
it.
V
U
That
it's
the
way
it
is,
it
is
currently
written
out.
You
know
it's
just
you
know,
bringing
it
to
Council
all
right.
Like
I
said,
our
concern
is
just
our
office
of
discretion.
I
know
we
take
care
of
that
one
specific
issue,
but
you
know
it's
just
gonna
be
hard
for
us
to
determine
that
situation.
There's
a
little
different,
so
I
think
some
of
the
things
we
can
do
will
help
this,
but
we'll
have
other
neighbors
like
the
picture
I
showed
before
and
it's
like
indoor
outdoor
furniture.
U
My
thing
is
trying
to
find
a
good
definition,
and
ideally
remember:
I
talked
to
you
about
solid
waste.
It's
not
necessarily
something
that's
being
used,
but
define
solid
waste
is
something
not
being
used
for
its
intended
purpose.
So
if
there's
an
engine
in
your
front
yard
that
engine
may
be
sparkling
new
but
you're
not
using
it
for
its
intended
purpose.
So
therefore
we
could
cite
you
for
that
as
a
solid
waste
issue,
as
opposed
to
just
saying:
okay,
well,
that's
junk
sofa
and
we
have
to
do
something
with
it.
U
So
that's
what
I
was
trying
to
see
if
we
can.
Maybe
we
could
definitely,
instead
of
just
calling
the
indoor/outdoor
ordinance,
and
we
just
redefine
the
definition
of
solid
waste.
I
think
we
could.
We
could
be
able
to
address
your
issue
and
that
would
just
be
a
definition
change
in
order,
as
opposed
to
a
whole
thing
so
well,
if
y'all
can
work.
U
I
said
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
I'm
not
contradicting
something
else
is
in
another
ordinance
or
another
section,
because
everything
with
special
enforcement
is
in
four
or
five
different
chapters,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
kind
of
do
my
due
diligence
I,
don't
mind
putting
it
right
in,
but
I
just
were
just
trying
to
see
if
we
can
find
some
better
definitions
and
then
that,
for
that
gives
us
the
teeth,
we
need
to
enforce
it.
Okay,
thank
you.
S
M
S
V
V
M
I
know
that-
and
I've
mentioned
this
before.
If
you
look
at
some
of
the
council
on
this,
you
need
to
do
something
about
airborne
contamination.
Just
like
you
have
an
indoor
you
have
it
outside.
So
if
we
get
with
keppa
demonologists
and
they
do
their
research,
please
have
them
contact
me.
I
appreciate
it.
Okay,.
F
M
F
Right,
thank
you
and
next
we're
going
to
have
short
term
rental
update
and
most
of
us,
nor
this
Airbnb
deputy
city
manager,
Pam
Hajj,
is
going
to
cover
that
and
then
we'll
follow
that
one
with
the
digest
tad
update
and
then
the
finance
update.
And
if
we're
able
to
do
the
others,
we
will
then
do
the
CCG
web
and
open
enrollment
update.
So
short
term
rental
digest,
update,
digest,
say
it
and
then
they
find
that
their
monthly
finance
report
update.
W
Good
morning,
Council,
this
is
truly
an
update.
We
have
been
working
for
months,
inspection
and
codes,
finance
business
license
the
City
Attorney's
Office
Planning
and
Zoning.
The
fire
department
and
CCV
be
trying
to
come
up
with
a
recommendation
on
how
to
handle,
regulate
and
enforce
short-term
rentals
and
unfortunately,
at
this
point
we
do
not
have
a
recommendation.
So
this
is
just
sharing
information
with
Council
and
getting
any
feedback
on
on
any
of
the
points
that
we
bring
out
today.
W
The
online
companies
will
not
release
the
locations
of
any
of
the
short-term
rentals,
so
it's
hard
to
regulate
or
enforce
when
we
don't
know
the
location
of
where
these
short-term
rentals
are
talking
about
enforcement,
how
do
we
enforce
them
and
making
sure
that
there
is
no
liability
on
the
city
as
we're
looking
into
enforcing
and
regulating
short-term
rentals
and
its
really
created
a
commercial
competition
inside
residential
neighborhoods?
And,
of
course,
we
don't
allow
commercial
activities
and
residential
neighborhoods
so
they're,
unregulated
and
unlicensed.
At
this
point.
W
So,
in
our
mind,
when
we
looked
at
this,
short-term
rentals
fits
that
definition,
which
means
that
they
would
meet
the
same
requirements
as
a
hotel,
which
requires
a
health
marshal
slip
from
the
health
department
requires
a
business
license.
They
would
have
to
get
a
certificate
of
occupancy,
which
means
that
we
have
sprinklers
egress,
fire
extinguishers,
smoke
detectors
a
da,
and
so
when
you're
talking
in
a
residential
neighborhood,
someone's
renting
out
one
room
of
their
home
going
through.
All
these
steps
would
be
very
difficult
for
a
homeowner.
W
They
would
also
be
required
as
well
to
remit,
occupation,
tax
sales,
tax,
hotel-motel
tax
and
the
destination
fee.
So
then
you're
talking
to
a
homeowner
who's,
renting
out
a
room
going
through
the
same
requirements
as
what
a
hotel
goes
through.
So
that's
really.
What
we've
been
struggling
with
is
how
to
regulate
and
enforce
in
these
particular
situations.
W
And
then
the
zoning
classifications
for
a
hotel
is
only
in
certain
areas
which
is
UPT,
which
is
uptown
the
CRD
central
riverfront
district,
ro
residential
office,
commercial
and
then
with
a
special
exception
in
the
historic
district,
which
means
that
these
types
of
establishments
are
not
allowed
in
residential
areas.
So
we
would
have
to
amend
the
you
do
in
order
to
allow
short-term,
rentals
and
residential
areas,
and
we
are
getting
complaints
from
citizens
who
have
this
activity
in
their
neighborhood
and
do
not
want
this
type
of
activity
in
their
neighborhood.
W
So
currently
we're
reviewing
the
ordinances
and
policies
from
other
municipalities.
We
are
drafting
an
ordinance
to
distinguish
and
accommodate
short-term
rentals.
We
have
had
one
discussion
with
the
largest
online
company,
which
is
Airbnb.
They
will
not
release
the
locations
of
the
of
their
customers,
but
they
will
remit
the
hotel-motel
tax
on
their
behalf,
but
we
still
would
not
have
any
regulation
in
those
particular
residences.
W
There's
also
House
bill
579,
that's
a
state
proposal
that
would
preempt
any
local
legislation.
Basically,
579
takes
any
regulation
away
from
local
municipalities
on
any
short-term
rentals.
So
we've
been
monitoring
that
there
was
a
hearing
on
October,
23rd
and
I.
Haven't
heard
the
results
of
that
hearing,
but
talking
with
Peter
Bowden,
he's
part
of
our
committee
and
and
they're
against,
obviously
from
the
hotel's
perspective
and
not
having
short-term
rentals
regulated,
this
House
bill
would
not
regulate
and
would
not
allow
us
to
regulate
short-term
rentals
at
all,
so
we're
really
kind
of
still
reviewing.
W
We
do
not
have
a
recommendation
at
this
point
because
we
haven't
come
to
a
consensus
on
what
our
recommendation
would
be
to
Council
on
how
to
enforce
and
regulate
short-term
rentals
in
residential
areas
is
what
we're
really
struggling
with
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
take
any
feedback
from
Council
on
this
particular
issue,
but
it
is
growing.
We
do
have
about
100,
short-term
rentals
that
are
advertised
on
Airbnb
and
other
types
of
online
companies.
We
actually
do
have
a
tree
house
in
Columbus
that
they're
advertising
for
rental.
W
N
N
They
fall
under
the
hotel
classification.
You
know,
I
think
when
we
first
asked
about
this.
There
were
some
people
that
were
upset
thinking.
We
were
against
the
air
B&B
now
think
we
are
I.
Think
that
what's
happened,
though,
is
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
have
found
a
loophole
and
and
they've
been
able
to
create
a
little
bit
of
an
unfair
advantage.
You
know
there
are
some
people
that
just
have
a
home,
they
couldn't
sell
or
couldn't
rent.
N
They
started
this
this
short-term
rental
and
it
provides
a
good
service
here
close
to
Fort
Benning,
because
it
allows
some
of
these
young
folks
that
are
going
through
the
going
through
their
training
if
their
parents
or
a
relative
is
close
enough
they'll
rent
of
one
of
these
things
for
for
a
couple
of
months
and
they
get
a
home-cooked
meal
when
they
get
when
they
get
off
off
post
for
a
little
bit.
But
but
there
are
also
folks
that
have
quickly
either
built
or
bought
dozens
and
are
operating
a
business
and
they've
there's
just
a
loophole.
N
I've
talked
to
several
people
that
own
some
of
these
things
and
they're,
not
at
all
against
the
regulating
regulatory
efforts
by
a
municipality.
It's
to
me
it's
a
safety
issue,
there's
a
reason.
We
don't
allow
commercial
enterprises
in
in
in
residential
communities,
and
it's
because
this
is
on
the
line
between
residential
use
and
a
commercial
enterprise.
N
That's
just
to
me
that
is
such
an
incredible
overreach
by
the
state's
legislature
and
in
talking
with
our
delegation.
I
will
speak
for
them,
but
but
I
don't
think
they
felt
like
that
might
be
the
best
course
of
action
either.
So
thank
you
for
the
update.
I,
just
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
let
this
because
the
rate
that
that
the
city
manager
said
these
things
are
proliferating.
We
can't
afford
to
let
this
kind
of
slow
play.
N
We
need
to
kind
of
stay
on
top
of
it
and
and-
and
you
know
maybe
even
at
some
point-
get
some
draft
legislation
out
there
and
let's
convene
with
some
of
these
folks
that
own
them
and
let's
see
if
they
can
live
with
it.
Let's
get
some
in
place.
We
can
modify
it
if
we
have
to
later,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
we're
gonna
be
in
we're
gonna,
be
very,
very
sorry
if
we
let
it
get
too
far
out
the
products
well,.
W
We
can
regulate
them
currently
under
the
hotel-motel
tax,
with
the
current
definition,
but
the
issue
for
regulating
them
is
there
wouldn't
be
allowed
in
residential
areas,
so
we'd
have
to
amend
the
you
do
in
order
to
allow
short-term
rentals.
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
as
part
of
our
recommendation
is
to,
if
we're
going
to
allow
them
than
we
need
to
update
the
you.
Do
okay,.
K
W
Way,
House
bill
579
is
that
the
state
would
regulate
and
the
locals
would
not
be
allowed
to
have
any
additional
regulations.
The
way
it's
currently
written.
It
talks
about
collection
of
sales
tax
that
doesn't
talk
about
collection
of
our
local
hotel-motel
tax.
So
there's
things
in
there
that
would
not
be
beneficial
to
the
local
government,
but.
K
K
Other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about:
have
we
have
we
made
any
decisions
about
of
what
is
a
short
term
if,
when
we're
talking
about
this
I'm
thinking,
I've
heard
overheard
a
conversation
just
yesterday
of
someone
who
has
a
house
who
wants
to
rent
one
of
the
rooms
in
her
house
to
a
kid
who's
coming
to
see
su
next
semester
and
and
would
only
be
there
during
this
semester,
so
this
would
not
apply
to
that
kind
of
situation.
Is
that
right?
That's
correct
this.
E
C
J
They're
headed
down
the
road.
You
know
we
had
the
same
problem
with
ride-sharing.
You
had
your
traditional
taxi
cabs
and
limousine
services
that
were
under
sales
tax
and
background
checks
and
all
those
things
and
when
uber
and
lyft
came
along,
nobody
knew
what
to
do
with
them
and
they
just
did
their
own
thing.
And
now
the
state
has
come
in
and
completely
taken
control
of.
E
X
Well,
good
morning,
senator
Council
has
been
asking
for
some
time
now
the
impact
of
the
revaluation
project
and
what
the
impact
has
been
on
the
digest.
So
I'll
briefly
discuss
that
with
you
all
today,
so
the
2016
or
FY
17
digest
was
just
over
four
point:
seven
billion
dollars,
our
2017
or
FY
18
digest,
is
just
over
five
billion
dollars.
The
increase
in
the
digester
two
years
was
five
point.
Seven
one
percent,
our
budgeted
increase
was
only
two
point.
Four
percent.
X
So
in
FY
18
you,
we
have
a
growth
in
the
digest
of
five
point:
seven,
one
percent,
as
you
see
here
in
the
chart,
the
increase
comes
from
the
assessments
resulting
from
our
countywide
revaluation
project.
As
you
can
see
in
the
chart,
there
hasn't
been
any
significant
growth
in
the
digest
since
it
peaked
in
2008.
That
was
right
before
the
recession
hit.
X
That's
why
18
approved
digests
had
a
5.7
1%
increase
so
out
of
96%
collection
rate.
The
impact
to
the
general
fund
would
be
an
additional
nine
hundred,
sixty
four
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
eight
dollars
to
the
stormwater
find
it.
The
additional
impact
would
be
173
thousand.
Nine
hundred
and
fifty
eight
dollars
for
paving
482,000
429
for
the
Medical
Center,
fine,
five
hundred
seven
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
one
metros
impact
would
be
an
additional
one.
X
Hundred
thirty
eight
thousand
six,
fifty
nine,
the
economic
development
fund
that
additional
impact
is
eighty
four
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
three
dollars
and
for
the
best
service
fund.
That's
an
additional
one
hundred
three
dollars:
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty
seven
dollars
for
a
total
increase
of
to
just
over
two
point:
four
million
dollars
and
that's
the
increase
in
what
we
budgeted
at
two
point:
four
percent.
So
we
plan
for
a
two
point:
four
percent
increase,
but
with
the
5.7
one
percent
increase
those
numbers.
X
There
is
the
difference
between
what
we
budgeted
and
what
we
actually
have,
what
they
approve
digest.
I'm.
Just
as
a
reminder,
council
increased
the
the
bonus
that
was
in
the
budget
from
20
hours
to
forty
hours
and
that
impact
to
the
general
fund
was
about
eight
eight
hundred
thousand.
So
this
difference
here
that
we
expect
to
receive
most
certainly
covers
that
that
increase.
F
X
B
That
we
had
to
dip
into
reserves,
then,
because
I
had
that
power
point
the
other
day,
I
sent
it
to
you
for
to
make
sure
about
accuracy,
and
you
made
me
take
out
the
part
that
said
that
the
FY
18
budget
did
not
dip
into
reserves.
You
said
it
did
dip
into
reserves.
Well
now,
if
you're
readjusting
the
collection
rate
that
seems
like
it
didn't
dip
into.
B
B
I
think
also
I
said
something
about
budgeting
this
year
without
using
reserve
funds
mm-hmm
right
and
so
anyway,
if
I
just
need
to
say
it
differently,
fine
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
accurate
and
if
we
did
do
that,
fine,
but
if
our
revenues
have
increased
and
it
seems
like
we
can
represent
that
to
the
prices.
So
if
you'll
get
with
me,
I'd
like
to
clear
that
up.
Yes,
my
okay.
L
N
X
B
N
L
B
X
So
for
that
number
one,
which
is
the
bidding
technology
part
of
the
base
digests
here-
is
2.3
million.
The
2017
or
FY
18
address
is
about
2.5
million,
so
the
net
increase
in
that
tat
district
is
two
hundred
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
thirty
three
dollars.
The
impact
to
all
the
funds
for
the
city's
portion
would
be
of
the
digest
would
be
from
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
forty
five
dollars.
The
impact
to
the
general
fund
is
only
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
ninety
three
dollars
for
this
increase
in
this.
In
the
tab.
District.
X
For
tat
district
number,
two,
which
is
six
Avenue
and
the
Liberty
District
the
base
digest,
was
twenty
seven
thousand
by
twenty
seven
million.
Sorry
900,000,
the
2017
FY
18
digest
is
27
million
point
4
million.
This
actually
resulted
in
a
net
decrease
in
that
tag,
district
of
450
1833
dollars.
So
there's
no
impact
to
the
to
all
phones
or
the
general
fund
because
of
the
decrease
pad
district
number.
X
X
H
X
We
won't
because,
as
you
remember
as
far
as
the
tag
districts
are,
concern,
is
the
increment
just
the
increase
that
goes
into
the
TAT
fund,
so
to
speak,
and
so
because
there
is
no
incremental
increase.
There's
no
impact
to
us
as
far
as
the
tag
district
is
concerned.
Now
as
far
as
citywide
collections,
obviously,
it's
going
to
be
will
collect
less
because
the
evaluations
have
gone
down,
but
it
doesn't
impact
the
money,
the
money
that
we're
supposed
to
set
aside
for
specifically
for
the
tag
districts,
how.
F
F
N
Just
reminder
we
did
talk
when
we
were
talking
about
the
tabs
and
we
were
approving
the
geographic
areas.
We
made
the
comment
that,
because
we
had
not
yet
gotten
the
city
wide
for
the
countywide
reassessment
completed,
that
we
reserve
the
right
to
tweak
that
footprint
just
enough
so
that
it
would
trigger
a
resetting
of
the
valuation.
So
in
other
words,
what
we're
looking
at
in
here.
If
we
did
that,
then
these
numbers
would
kind
of
be
moved
because
they'd
be
reset
to
the
to
the
tooth
out
to
the
to
the
most
recent
reassessment.
N
F
L
N
Cuz,
we
were
saying
one
of
the
things
that
happened
when
that
ad
was
approved
when
they
my
understanding
when
we
approved
that
geographic
footprint
yeah
of
each
tad,
that's
set
the
bench
one
that
set
the
baseline
for
our
taxes.
Well,
we
have
since
gone
through
a
citywide
countywide
reassessment
to
more
accurately
determine
what
the
value
of
those
properties
are.
Fines
now
I
know,
we've
discussed
that
we
were
reserving
the
right
simply
because
we
wanted
to
be
completely
or
as
correct
as
we
could
and
honest
with
the
taxpayers
about
the
current
value
of
that
property.
L
N
Asked
mr.
Blakely
how
we
could
reset
that
number,
and
he
said
amending
the
footprint
even
by
one
parcel
would
reap,
would
would
trigger
a
resetting
of
the
of
a
new
benchmark.
Now
we
had
indicated
when
we
discussed
these
and
that's
what
we
wanted
to
do
to
get
an
accurate
baseline
and
so
I'm
just
saying
that,
if,
if
we
did
that,
then
then
the
impact
to
those
funds
wouldn't
exist
because
we
would
be
redrawing
the
baseline.
F
Exactly
but
when
we
look
at
the
growth,
as
she
has
pointed
out,
we
projected
2.4,
we
got
5.7
there's.
Obviously
there
were
pluses
and
minuses
shortly
and
and
and
a
perfect
example
of
that
is
what
we
just
talked
about
in
Liberty,
right,
I,
guess:
6th
Avenue.
You
know
there
were
more
minuses,
then
pluses
and
so
there's
no
impact
and
we
actually
right
yeah
and
so,
and
so
the
question
would
be.
You
know
whether
the
juice
is
worth
the
squeeze
right.
N
And
who
and
and
and
I
think
that,
from
my
perspective,
because
I
know
mr.
Bishop
and
I
had
this
discussion
was
that
it
is
the
the
total
amount
of
money
when
you
break
it
down
to
into
the
dollar
value
of
what
that
increase
or
decrease
in
that
assessment
is
going
to
go
to
yield.
Is
it's
fairly
negligible,
but
we
had
told
the
citizens
we
were
going
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
had
an
accurate
baseline
after
the
citywide
or
the
countywide
every
assessment,
so
I
just
mention
it,
because
it's
it
to
me.
N
It's
still
out
there.
We
hadn't
mentioned
it
when
we
were
considering
this
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we
should
probably
go
ahead
and
ask
our
planning
department
to
identify
a
parcel
in
some
of
these
areas,
so
that,
should
we
decide
to
move
forward
with
that,
we'd
be
ready
and
knowing
how
we're
going
to
amend
it.
So
it
wouldn't
significantly
impact
that
that
area
we.
F
X
N
E
F
H
X
I'm
tad
district
number
three,
which
is
for
uptown
the
base
digest,
is
51
points
on
seven
billion,
I'm,
sorry
for
the
1.7
million,
the
2017
FY
18
digest
is
51
point
eight
million,
so
the
net
increase
was
113
thousand
eight
hundred
and
ninety
five
dollars
I'm.
The
impact
to
all
the
funds
that
received
tax
revenue
is
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy
eight
dollars
to
the
general
fund.
That
impact
is
eight
hundred
and
ninety
four
dollars
Fatah
district
number,
four,
which
is
second
Avenue
in
City
village.
X
The
base
digest
was
set
at
twenty
five
point:
nine
million
the
2017
or
FY
18
digest
is
twenty
seven
point:
four
million
for
a
net
increase
of
1
million
four
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
two
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars.
The
impact
to
all
funds
is
twenty
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
six
dollars
for
the
general
fund.
That
impact
is
eleven
thousand
one
hundred
and
ninety
two
dollars
Midtown
West.
X
The
base
digest
was
set
at
forty
seven
point:
two
million
the
2017
FY
18
digest
is
forty
nine
point:
six
million
for
a
net
increase
of
two
million
two
million
four
hundred
thousand
and
one
dollar
on
the
impact
to
all
the
funds
is
thirty,
nine
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty
three
dollars.
I'm
the
impact
to
the
general
fund
is
eighteen
thousand,
eight
hundred
and
forty
seven
dollars.
X
So
the
last
ad
district
is
district
number
six,
which
is
midtown
east.
The
base
digest
was
nineteen
point,
eight
million
the
2017
FY
18
digest
is
nineteen
point,
six
million
from
that
decrease
of
one
hundred
forty
five
thousand
nine
hundred
ninety
dollars,
so
there's
no
impact
as
far
as
the
increment
to
the
task.
So
the
total
tat
impact
across
all
funds
is
sixty.
Eight
thousand
three
hundred
and
twelve
dollars
for
the
general
fund
is
thirty.
Two
thousand
five
hundred
six
dollars
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
the
additional
questions.
If
you
have
all.
H
S
T
X
So
that
is
the
total
assessed
value.
That's
the
difference
there.
So
we
have
to
equate
that
down
to
what
we
would
actually
stand
to
receive
and
collections
based
on
the
millage,
so
I
mean
the
calculations
for
that
is
to
take
the
net
increase
divided
by
thousand,
which
gives
us
the
tax
rate
and
then
multiply
the
tax
rate
by
our
millage.
So
our
millage
for
across
all
funds
is
seventeen
point.
One
eight
meals
for
the
general
fund
is
eight
point.
Eighteen,
so
that's
how
we
determine
what
the
impact
is.
Okay,.
S
L
X
J
H
H
X
So
you
should
have
the
monthly
snapshot
before
you.
This
is
as
a
the
end
of
September
2017,
just
starting
with
the
to
the
right
of
the
snapshot
here
for
the
operating
funds.
The
general
fund
is
down
fifteen
point.
Zero.
Three
percent
I
will
make
mention
that
we
have
received
about
five
point:
eight
million
in
tax
collections,
thus
far
this
this
fiscal
year.
We
have
not
distributed
that
out
to
the
funds,
because
we've
just
gotten
a
meetin
with
the
Tax
commissioner's
office
to
go
over
the
new
reporting.
X
You
know
with
the
new
system
that
comes
new
reports.
I
have
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
those
reports
before
we
distribute
this
money.
That
meeting
is
set
for
next
Tuesday,
so
I'm,
hopefully,
will
give
the
finance
update
next
month
we'll
have
that
revenue
included.
I
will
say
out
of
the
five
point:
eight
million
that
we
received
typically
about
forty
percent,
is
allocated
to
the
general
fund,
that's
about
2.3
million.
X
X
Continuing
on
with
the
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
Fund
there,
the
increase
is
four
point:
two
three
percent
for
the
stormwater
fund.
The
decrease
is
eighty
one
point:
six,
five
percent,
the
paving
fine,
the
decrease
is
ninety
one
point:
three:
two
percent:
we
don't
have
any
revenue
recorded
for
the
Medical
Center
fund,
so
that
in
that
decrease
is
100
percent.
Again
these
are
tax
support
it
fun.
So
we
have
it
distributed
to
tax
money
to
those
funds
just
yet.
So
that's
why
those
deep
decreases
are
so
dramatic.
The
integrated
waste
fund
is
up
3.40%.
X
The
emergency
telephone
fund
is
up
two
point:
four,
nine
percent
the
Economic
Development
Authority
fund
is
showing
it's
down
a
hundred
percent.
We
haven't
allocated
any
money
to
that
fund
as
well.
That
service
is
down
twenty
four
point:
two
one
percent:
it
also
receives
tax
revenue.
The
transportation
Metro
fund
is
down
fifty
two
point:
nine
nine
percent.
It
is
also
supported
with
some
tax
revenues.
A
parking
management
fund
is
down
thirty
six
point:
five,
eight
percent,
and
while
the
revenues
is
the
revenues
are
down
as
compared
to
September
of
2016.
X
The
expenditures
are
down
about.
Sixteen
percent,
as
well
so
I
know
they
they're
still
working
out
those
staffing
issues.
I
didn't
have
a
conversation
with
the
metric
direct
director
yesterday,
and
so
they
are
fully
staffed
at
this
point
and
I'm
making
some
headway
to
lessen
some
of
this
that
the
impact
between
17
and
16,
the
Trade
Center
fund
is
down
three
point.
One
eight
percent
Bull
Creek
Golf
Course
fund
is
down
four
point.
Seven
four
percent
Oxbow
Creek
Golf
Course
fund
is
down
four
point.
X
We've
collected
about
1.7
million
obligated
expenditures,
as
of
the
end
of
September
amounts
to
about
1.8
million
dollars,
move
into
the
left
side
of
the
snapshot.
Here
are
the
total
general
fund
revenues.
As
of
the
end
of
September,
what
we've
recorded
was
is
just
over
twelve
point,
six
million
dollars,
which
is
about
eight
point.
X
It's
the
annual
GMA
dues
that
were
due
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year
for
the
City
Attorney's
Office,
were,
of

million

annual

annual

It's
the

was
encumbered

encumbered
the

As
you
know,
the
court
reporters
receive
a
certain
amount
of
money
every
year
for
things
that
are
outside
of
their
normal
contract
for
the
jury
manager.
There
was
a
subscription
due
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year,
for
the
jury
summons,
as
well
as
the
petty
jury
fees
and
for
the
sheriff's
office.
The
prisoner
and
medical
contract
was
encumbered,
so
those
are
the
departments
that
are
currently
over
the
25
percent
threshold.
X
In
regards
to
the
tan,
we
have
not
had
to
draw
down
any
additional
monies,
except
the
initial
initial
50,000
that
who
were
required
by
law
to
take,
and
so
I
will
keep
you
updated
as
we
go
along
as
far
as
the
any
draw
downs
with
the
tan
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions.
If
you
haven't,
we.
S
K
Two
things
one
is
as
quickly
as
you
can.
Would
you
post
the
loss
figures
on
the
website?
I
have
people
ask
me
about
these
all
the
time
and
it's
very
helpful
to
be
able
to
say
to
them.
Go
to
the
city
website
on
the
city
website.
You
can
find
the
Oh
lost
figures
and
I
think
the
latest
one
that's
on
theirs,
August,
so
September's,
you
know
it
takes.
I
know
it
takes
a
while
to
get
all
these
numbers
put
together,
and
so,
if
you'll,
if
you
will
do
that
as
quickly
as
you
can
they.

Y
Open
enrollment
for
2018,
we
did
a
three-week
stint
for
open
enrollment
that
started
October
the
second
and
we
went
through
October
20th.
We
were
able
to
be
in
14
locations
throughout
the
city
so
that
it
was
as
convenient
as
possible
for
employees
at
various
times.
During
the
day
to
culminate
open
enrollment,
we
had
a
health
and
benefits
Fair
on
October,
the
20th
at
the
Trade
Center,
which
was
well
attended.
Y
Our
open
enrollment
was
conducted
by
our
benefit
consultant,
shall
hankins
and
we've
gotten
a
extremely
good
reviews
from
the
work
that
they
did
and
the
service
that
they
put
for
us
our
open
enrollment
activity.
We
had
926
employees,
complete,
open,
enrollment,
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighty
eighty-five
did
not
that
included
all
of
our
active
employees
and
all
of
our
retirees.
Three
hundred
and
twenty
one
of
those
employees
completed
online
enrollment
568
completed
it
with
an
enroller,
meaning
that
they
made
an
appointment.
Y
They
went
and
sat
with
someone
and
talked
about
their
benefits
and
then
they
enrolled
at
that
time.
Then
we
had
thirty
seven
employees
that
completed
it
by
calling
the
1-800
call
center
number
and
speaking
with
a
representative
and
completed
open
enrollment
there,
I
will
say
that
these
numbers
are
indicative
of
what
happens
to
an
open
enrollment.
Last
year
we
had
a
very
busy
season
in
terms
of
we
had
a
lot
of
plan
design
changes
this
year.
Y
There
were
not
those
kinds
of
plan
designs
changes,
so
it
was
very
minimum
in
terms
of
open,
enrollment
and
I'll
share
a
couple
of
brief
things
here
with
you
about
well,
I,
think
you
know,
participation
was
probably
slow
or
low.
One
of
the
things
we
also
wanted
to
do
is
make
sure
that
employees
knew
as
much
as
possible
about
their
benefits.
We
launched
an
education
effort
and
to
make
and
make
sure
employees
were
aware.
They
knew
exactly
what
their
benefits
were.
They
had
a
chance
to
see
them
in
different
ways.
Y
We
also
launched
a
Facebook
page
human
resources
there,
where
we
a
lot
of
posts
like
social
media
and
they
like
to
be
able
to
access
things
via
social
media.
So
we
have
a
Facebook
page
where
we
post
all
of
our
open
enrollment
information.
We
also
have
developed
videos,
our
benefit
consultant
did,
and
so
we
track.
You
know
how
many
people
are
looking
at
the
videos.
You
know
how
many
times
they're
looking
at
them,
and
so
we
provided
an
open,
enrollment
video,
which
just
gave
a
real
big
picture.
Summary
of
everything
open
enrollment.
Y
We
had
specific
videos
about
medical
benefit,
dental
plan,
vision
and
life,
and
in
this
just
shows
how
many
times
employees
actually
went
out
and
looked
at
those
videos
and
then
just
to
review
the
actual
benefit
itself,
our
medical
benefit.
Thankfully,
there
is
no
premium
increase
for
2018
and
that
I'm
sure
account
for
the
low
participation
in
open
enrollment.
Many
employees
will
say
I'll
just
keep
what
I've
got
so
they
were
able
to
do
that
if
they
decided
they
were
satisfied
with
what
they
had
in
2017.
Y
They
could
keep
the
same
thing
in
2018,
so
there's
no
medical
premium
increase
whatever
the
premium
that
employees
are
paying
in
2017
they'll
pay
the
same
thing
in
2018.
There
is
an
increase
in
the
emergency
room
if
you're
on
the
silver
plan,
there
is
a
coinsurance
of
20%.
If
you
own
the
gold
plan,
there's
a
coinsurance
pay
of
10%.
There
is
a
slight
increase
in
the
Urgent
Care
copay,
from
$40
to
$60
and
on
our
pharmacy.
We
have
added
tiers
to
our
pharmacy.
Y
We've
got
a
standard
three-tier
pharmacy,
two
tiers
they're
being
added
for
2018
at
tier
4,
specialty,
there's
a
copay
there
and
then
there's
a
tier
4
lifestyle
medications
on
our
dental
and
vision
plans.
There
is
no
premium
increase
there,
there's
also
no
premium
increase
in
our
basic
life
and
voluntary
telemedicine
benefit.
You
all
recall
that
we
added
that
benefit
in
2017
at
the
request
of
a
number
of
our
employees
and
recommendation
of
our
employee
benefits
committee
that
benefit
there's
a
slight
decrease
on
that
particular
benefit.
Y
We
are
it's
currently
$6.99
a
month,
it'll
be
reduced
to
6
dollars
and
12
cents
a
month,
then
we
are
offering
the
flexible
spending
account
and
voluntary
benefits
offered
through
a
flag.
So
now,
just
to
talk
real,
real
briefly
and
I'm
not
going
to
spend
any
time
in
great
detail
with
a
lot
of
these
slides.
But
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
them
in
terms
of
medical
elections
active
employees
again.
This
is
somewhat
boring
because
there
is
not
a
whole
lot
of
activity.
Y
16
on
our
active
employees,
16
added
coverage,
12
dropped
coverage
and
46
made
a
plan,
change
design
and
you
see
on
the
pre,
65
retirees
3
added
coverage,
nobody
dropped
coverage
and
on
the
post,
65
retirees,
1
added
coverage
and
4
drop
coverage,
and
then
this
just
shows
the
enrollment
by
plan
in
terms
of
our
active
employees.
On
the
silver
plan
there
are
16
hundred
and
seventy-seven
employees
on
the
silver
plan
318
on
the
gold
plan.
Y
If
you
look
down
below
the
365
on
the
silver
plan,
there
are
173
and
then
35
on
the
gold
plan,
our
demo
elections
again
very
low
activity
there
in
terms
of
adding
and
dropping
typically,
the
same
number
that
adds
is
similar
to
the
same
number.
That
draws
our
dental
participation.
You
see
that
69%
of
the
employees
take
advantage
of
the
disk
of
the
dental
plan.
Thirty-Four
percent
over
365
retirees
are
on
the
dental
plan
and
11
percent
of
post
65
retirees.
Y
There
are
six
hundred
and
ninety
three
employees
active
employees
on
the
high
plan,
the
high
dental
plan
and
then
a
thousand
forty
four.
Those
employees
participated
in
a
low
dental
plan
and
you
see
retirees
we
got
105
on
the
high
plan
and
then
there
are
114
on
the
low
plan.
Our
vision,
participation
by
our
employees
again,
not
a
whole
lot
of
activity.
They're
active
employees,
59
percent
of
our
employees,
participate
in
the
active
excuse
me
participate
in
the
Vision
Plan,
the
active
employees
do
33%
of
pre,
65
retirees
and
then
10
percent
of
our
post.
Y
65
retirees
participate
in
the
Vision
Plan
and
then,
of
course,
we
are
offering
for
those
employees
that
voluntarily
and
want
to
participate
in
the
vegetable
spending
account.
142
employees
did
participate
in
the
hell,
spend
an
account
that
is
a
little
bit
up
from
2017
47
added
it
and
59
dropped.
It
there's
also.
The
two
types
of
flexible
spending
account
the
health
care.
Flexible
spending
account
in
the
dependent
care,
flexible
spending
account,
and
you
see
the
activity
there-
telemedicine,
as
I
mentioned
it
earlier.
Y
We've
got
a
hundred
and
forty
nine
employees
that
are
enrolled
for
2018,
for
that
particular
benefit.
Thirty-Nine
added
the
coverage
and
30
people
dropped.
It
I
do
want
to
mention
the
tobacco
cessation,
that
is
the
surcharge
tobacco
surcharge
that
we
brought
back.
You
all
may
have
meant
remember
that
we
had
a
tobacco
surcharge
some
years
ago
and
dropped
it.
So
we
started
the
tobacco
surcharge
again
beginning
in
2018.
There
is
a
$50
a
month
surcharge
that
applies
to
those
tobacco
users
who
do
not
complete
a
tobacco
cessation
program.
Y
Y
There
are
nineteen
hundred
and
ninety
five
employees
on
the
that
of
that
are
on
the
plan
for
2018.
So
those
are
the
number
of
affidavits
that
we
need
to
receive
back
from
employees
that
they
are
stating
that
they
either
use
tobacco
or
they
don't
use
tobacco.
So
since
we
started
that
process,
eighty
percent
of
those
employees
have
completed
our
tobacco,
an
affidavit
form
stating
whether
they
either
use
it
or
don't
use
it
of
those
of
those
80
percent.
Y
The
last
program
I
want
to
mention
is
the
wellness
incentive
that
was
put
forth
by
the
employee
benefits
committee.
The
Wellness
incentive
encourages
employees
to
utilize
or
participate
and
complete
a
personal
health
assessment,
and
if
they
are
deemed
to
be
at
risk,
participate
in
coaching
and
participating
in
the
personal
health
assessment.
Employees
have
an
opportunity
to
receive
two
Wellness
days
or
an
a
$50
gift
card
for
the
first
400
employees
that
participate
and
I
will
tell
you
that
our
the
personal
health
assessment,
our
wellness
incentive,
is
going
extremely
well.
Y
We
know
that
at
least
400
employees
have
already
participated
in
the
personal
health
assessment
and
we
want
that
number
to
continue
to
increase.
We'll
have
we'll
report
back
on
the
number
of
employees
participating,
but
that
particular
program
is
going
extremely
well.
So
we're
real
pleased
with
the
results
there
and
that's
all
I
have
mr.
city
manager.
We
have
a
councillor.
I
Y
I
Y
H
Z
I
have
been
asked
to
kind
of
give
an
update
on
the
web
presence
and
I
want
to
start
with
what
I
came
to
you
with
my
initial
assessment
back
in
March
of
15,
when
we
talked
about
at
this
meeting
of
increasing
our
data
center
capacities,
improve
our
web
presence
and
improve
the
business
resources,
and
some
other
things
so
part
of
the
plan
originally
and
still
is,
is
to
always
improve
on
our
web
presence
when
James
Garrity,
intern,
I
guess
for
mr.
Hyuga
came
in.
Z
One
of
the
things
he
was
asked
to
help
do
was
to
go
over
some
suggestions
for
our
web
presence
and
he
made
some
recommendations
working
with
the
IT
department
and
I'm
gonna
go
over
what
we're
doing
to
try
to
help
improve
our
web
presence
and
our
web
stability.
So
one
thing
we're
working
on
is
to
make
it
all
cloud
based
cloud
based
means
that
we
won't
host
it
here
and
one
thing
that
that
means
is
right.
Now,
if
you
host
all
of
you
stuff
here,
that
means
all
the
traffic
comes
here.
Z
So
that
means
you
need
more
actual
bandwidth,
you're,
also
more
susceptible.
For
some
of
the
denial
of
service
attacks
you
hear
about
that
bring
down
cities.
Well,
if
they
hit
the
website
and
it's
off
premises,
then
of
course
they
would
be
attacking
Microsoft
sites
and
they
won't
actually
be
attacking
city
sites,
so
that
helps
that
security
plus
being
on
the
web
itself.
The
azure
that
we
use
the
Microsoft
platform
we
use
is
actually
government
Asscher.
So
it's
actually
made
for
enhanced
security
features,
minimum
downtime,
asher
or
the
cloud
is
up.
Z
You
would
say
99.99%
of
the
time
we
would
be
down
by
scheduled
maintenance
or
if
we
did
accidentally
uploaded
something
that
broke
our
site,
lower
maintenance
cost.
You
know
when
I
first
got
here:
we
had
to
spend
upwards
to
several
million
dollars
with
a
lot
of
equipment
and
stuff.
One
of
the
things
that
you
do
when
you
move
cloud-based.
Is
this
a
subscription
model
and
over
time
actually
short
time?
You
save
money
by
not
having
to
buy
new
equipment
so
each
time
now
that
we
would
need
a
web
server
or
web
servers
or
web
services?
Z
We
have
to
go
out
and
purchase
new
actual
computers
in
the
data
center.
But
now
we
don't
have
to
do
that
and
increased
availability.
That
means
two
things:
it's
not
just
downtime,
but
increased
availability
means
that
if
we
were
out,
if
we
were
cut,
we
if
we
lost
service
as
a
city,
you
could
still
get
to
our
website
because
the
website
is
on
the
cloud.
So
if
you
have
cloud
connectivity
through
your
home
internet
or
through
your
phone,
you
would
still
be
able
to
get
to
those
services.
Z
We
also
are
moving.
One
of
the
recommendations
is
to
move
to
a
doc
gov
right
now.
It's
Columbus
GA,
org
and
dark
garb
and
I'm
gonna
start
at
the
bottom,
it's
reserved
for
governments,
and
it
actually
adds
another
layer
of
security,
a
lot
of
the
things
we
do.
Since
we
don't
have
a
dot
guv.
We
actually
have
to
send
a
letter
and
say:
hey.
We
really
are
the
City
of
Columbus
and
we
really
can
register
for
this
thing.
So
the
dot
gov
gives
us
some
more
security
features,
plus
it's
recognizable
its
search
engine
recognizable.
Z
It's
kind
of
more
has
a
better
reputation
and
it
just
increases
the
professionalism
of
the
city.
When
you
go
move
to
a.gov
account
it's
slightly
more
expensive
than
the
other
accounts,
but
it
still
gives
us
a
better
web
presence.
So
we're
thinking,
but
we're
not
a
hundred
percent
positive,
that
we
would
go
to
Columbus
GA
dot,
gov,
and
that
would
give
us
a
change
in
some
of
our
email
addresses,
but
your
current
email
addresses
will
still
work.
Z
Another
thing
that
we're
working
on
is
a
uniformity
of
design.
This
has
nothing
to
do
really
with
moving
it
to
the
cloud
it
really
has
to
do
with.
We
want
the
website
more
user-friendly
we've
had
it
looked
at
by
several
groups
and
internally,
and
we
actually
sent
out
to
all
the
directors
and
the
department
heads
some
looks
and
feels,
and
we
want
to
kind
of
get
a
consistency
of
design.
So
it's
ease
of
navigation.
The
two
exceptions
would
be
the
Parks
and
Rec
and
the
Civic
Center,
but
all
the
other
sites.
Z
We
want
them
to
kind
of
look
the
same
so
that
when
you're
on
the
city
side,
it
kind
of
flows
increased
maintainability.
If
you
have
a
uniform
design
that
you
have
actually
a
database
back
behind
the
scenes,
it
makes
it
easier
to
maintain
so
I
have
two
staff
members
that
do
this.
They
stay
slightly
behind.
This
should
make
it
easier
to
maintain
improve
user
experience.
Z
Basically,
the
new
website
will
fit
on
your
mobile
and
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute,
but
it
also
the
user.
Experiences
are
better
if
you
can
find
what
you
to
easier
fewer
clicks
to
get
where
you
want
to
go
and
we'll
have
some
enhanced
search
features,
and
basically
that
means
that
you
will
be
able
to
search
the
site
and
find
hopefully
what
you're
looking
for
just
by
keyword,
search
rather
than
not
being
able
to
search
the
entire
site
today,
performance
with
a
better
content
behind
the
scenes.
You'll
have
better
performance.
Z
One
thing
we
can
do
is
automate
so
that
everywhere
the
city
manager
appears
or
councilmember
appear.
So
the
mayor
appears.
You
really
only
have
the
data
set
one
time
and
you
just
publish
it
several
times
and
it
makes
the
the
website
a
lot
easier.
As
far
as
finding
your
data
and
maintaining
your
data
and
accessing
your
data,
mobile-friendly
means
that
you
can
go
to
your
phone
and
we
have
a
couple
websites
that
you
can
today
a
couple,
and
one
of
them
is
a
CCTV
page.
Z
So
if
you
go
to
CC,
G
TV
on
your
phone
you'll
see
that
it
fits
on
your
phone
makes
it
easy
to
watch
the
council
meetings
on
your
phone
because
it's
mobile
enabled.
So
that
means
it
kind
of
shrinks
to
the
screen
that
you're,
looking
at
if
you're
on
your
tablet,
it's
a
little
bit
bigger
if
you're
on
your
computer.
It's
it's
a
little
bit
different,
but
all
of
your
services
are
there.
So,
rather
than
go
to
like
an
app
approach,
if
I
says
well,
they
want
an
app.
Z
You
really
don't
need
an
app
if
you
make
your
website
mobile-friendly,
so
that
it
appears
to
be
an
app
when
you
look
at
it
on
your
phone,
but
it
appears
to
be
a
website
if
you
look
at
it
on
your
tablet
or
your
computer
and,
like
I,
said
we're
going
to
integrate
it
with
the
employee
HR
system
in
all
the
other
systems.
We
have
it
integrated
with
right
now
it's
integrated,
but
we
do
a
manual
process
because
we're
still
in
the
process
of
getting
our
systems
in
place.
It's
also
integrated
with
our
GIS
mappings.
Z
During
ARMA
we
put
the
front
page.
We
had
a
banner
screen
on
the
front
page
so
that
citizens
and
the
city
people
could
look
to
see
what
trees
were
down.
Road
close,
that's
available
all
the
time
on
the
website,
but
by
being
able
to
put
it
on
the
front
page
and
pull
that
data,
it
made
it
a
lot
easier
for
people
to
respond.
So
that's
kind
of
the
integration
piece,
the
and
I'm
going
to
try
the
next
line,
or
at
least
get
some
help
on
it.
One
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
on
this.
Z
This
is
what
we
sent
out
to
the
directors
to
look
at
and
it
doesn't
have
the
new
logo.
The
website
currently
has
the
new
logo.
The
reason
this
one
doesn't
is
because
we
were
a
few
weeks
before
the
release.
We
had
the
logo,
but
we
were
asked
not
to
put
it
on
the
sample
pages,
because
we
didn't
want
a
pre-release
before
the
people
had
got
to
come
to
Council
and
talk
about
it.
Z
So
we
do
have
the
logo
on
the
current
website,
but
that's
why
it's
not
on
the
sample,
because
we
didn't
want
to
kind
of
give
it
away
early
and
if
none
of
the
none
of
this
site
works
is
set
to
show
you
the
look,
because
we
asked
the
directors
to
department
heads
what's
kind
of
looking
for
you
want.
So
if
you
would
scroll
down
for
me
Shane,
so
it
goes
down
so
you've
got
popular
resources,
you
could
click
on
dollars.
You
can
scroll
down
more.
It
has
meaning
and
news.
Z
It
talks
about
dragonfly
trail,
tax
information,
meaning
dates.
You
can
go
to
all
events
right
now
that
doesn't
work
because,
like
I
said
these
links
we
made
so
they
wouldn't
work,
so
they
we're
just
trying
to
get
a
feel.
Then
we
have
the
mayor,
city
manager,
council
and
it's
crossed
through,
and
it
would
actually
be
very
similar
to
the
information,
but
it's
presented
in
a
different
way.
If
you
scroll
down
a
little
bit
further,
you
see
a
GIS
map
of
Park
locations,
election
districts
and
they
come
in
live
so
those
are
live
this
site.
Z
This
part
is
live
coming
out
of
the
system,
so
if
you
were
to
have
an
emergency
and
you
wanted
to
show
where
trays
were
down
or
you
had
a
flower,
you
could
put
it
act.
Actually,
you
could
just
add
another
button
and
say
for
emergency.
You
could
make
it
red
and
say
here:
are
you
know
things
have
going
on
with
are
more
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
city
right
now
with
our
GIS
services,
so
you
could
actually
get
all
those
data
points
live
and
then
towards
the
bottom.
Z
It's
just
typical
of
what
you
would
see
about
the
web
site.
So
that
is
pretty
much
of
my
presentation.
We
do
have
a
couple
pictures
that
you
just
saw
a
live,
so
that
is
one
of
the
pictures
of
the
front
page.
As
we
go
down,
you
can
see
the
different
things
that
are
available
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
the
recommendation
was
is
that
the
front
page
should
contain
mostly
government
information,
and
it
should
just
be
a
scroll
down
quick,
look,
important
information
and
that's
what
we're
moving
towards.
Z
F
F
There's
no
pick
up
garbage
pick
up
garbage
collection
on
Friday
November
10th.
There
will
be
no
garbage
collection
on
Friday
November,
10th
Friday
routes
will
be
collected,
Wednesday,
November,
8th
and
so
no
no
collection
on
Friday,
the
chant
Wednesday,
the
8th.
So
if
you
receive
your
pickup
on
Friday,
you
will
put
it
out
for
Wednesday
collection.
F
Nothing
else
will
change.
All
other
services
will
be
provided
on
their
normal
collection
day.
So
fly
the
Veterans
Day.
Garbage
collection
will
be
on
Wednesday.
November,
8th
I
just
want
to
repeat
that
a
few
times.
So
you
know
if
your
garbage
is
collected
on
Friday
put
it
out
Wednesday.
So
that's
the
announcement
for
that
which.
F
H
S
F
F
F
If
there
are
other
areas
that
we
need
to
know
about,
we
asked
council,
members
or
citizens
to
let
us
know
the
work
will
start
this
week
and
they
will
monitor
daily
for
the
next
four
to
six
weeks,
the
next
four
to
six
weeks,
starting
this
week,
Green
Island
heels
and
the
heath
Park
areas,
jarett's
is
the
vendor.
So
if
you
see
someone
else
in
those
areas
know
that
they
are
out
working
for
the
City
of
Columbus
in
that
effort.
M
I
think
she
really
needs
to
be
commended
in
some
way.
This
the
word
has
spread,
and
it
was
a
fantastic
article
in
the
paper
that
for
her
to
recognize
that
some
of
the
indigent
burials
were
veterans
and
just
to
realize
how
important
it
is
and
then
and
to
make
that
connection,
because
I
talked
to
some
of
the
military
organizations
here
to
make
that
connection
that,
yes,
if
a
family
member
does
not
know
that
a
veteran
has
expired,
that
veteran
would
not
be
accorded
the
honors
that
they're
veterans.
M
So
she
will
need
to
be
commended
for
that
and
then
the
Mission
Continues
that
organization
for
the
work
that
they
put
in
after
riverdale
and
I
notified
some
of
the
American
leeches
two
six,
seven
three
three
three
and
going
to
the
DAV
seven
here
to
make
sure
that
they
will
have
individuals
there,
but
I
think
it's
phenomenal
for
the
city
to
be
doing
something
like
that
prefer
her
to
recognize
that
it
was
as
an
issue.
It's
what's
really
is
what
really
stands
out
that
she
recognized
a
connection.
M
M
Her
to
go
through
that
and
find
out
and
identifying
once
I
think
is
really
supposed,
so
something
needs
to
well,
you
could
do
a
resolution
for
council
I
do
want
to
and
I,
and
that's
one
reason
why
I
would
like
to
do
that,
because
that
that
that
was
really
a
wake-up
call
of
a
situation
that
will
not
be
happening
in
his
city
again
sure.
So.
Yes,
so
could
you
give
me
all
the
information?
Because
I
would
like
to
do
something?
L
M
Every
veteran
the
rights
to
every
veteran
receives
sure.
So
that's
that's
why
this
example
somewhere
and
also
say
that
on
five
either
tenth
will
be
the
Veterans
banquet
at
the
State
Ministry
Center.
That
following
Saturday
will
be
the
Veterans
Day
parade
starts
at
ten
and
who
Mike
always
makes
it
there
Mike
Baker,
always
and
right,
following
the
parade
at
the
Phoenix
City
Airport
area,
we're
having
the
first
annual
veterans
rally
little
bit
at
the
finish
city
I'm,
going
to
be
about
between
12:30
and
1:00
will
have
free
food
and
water.
M
We
will
also
have
service
officers
from
the
various
organizations
for
any
of
the
veterans
that
may
have
be
having
a
problem,
but
their
benefits
that
we
will
have
a
number
and
we've
just
finalized.
We
will
have
a
number
of
church
choirs
there
for
I,
believe
they're
for
entertainment
and
whatever
is
so
well.
We
like
for
everybody
to
come
out.
S
We
with
your
pops
else,
along
and
I,
was
really
moved
by
the
story
in
the
paper
and
I
thought.
It
was
real
good
they're
using
money
from
selling
brick
pavers
to
have
fun
upkeep
and
some
of
the
some
points
on
that
project
and
I
think
it
would
be
wonderful.
Each
one
one
of
the
counselors
would
buy
a
favor
and
only
$75
and
I
was
going.
I
was
hoping
I
would
see.
