This
is
your
City
Council.
B
The
City
Council
we're
so
glad
to
have
you
with
us.
We
have
a
great
agenda,
a
very
full
agenda.
Today,
we've
had
some
very
special
requests
to
move
a
few
things
around
we're
going
to
try
to
accommodate
you
all.
Of
course
everybody
has
important
things.
Everybody
needs
to
get
home
for
dinner,
but
we
try
to
accommodate
those
sort
of
once
in
a
lifetime
or
very,
very
important
family
commitments.
B
So
we'll
do
the
best
we
can
and
I
hope
the
rest
of
you
all
will
be
patient
with
us
as
we
try
to
move
forward
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
obviously
you
can
see
we
need
a
lot
of
Prayer
pastor,
and
so
we
want
to
call
you
up.
First,
we
have
with
us
today
Pastor
Mark
Swift
of
Calvary
Baptist
Church,
he's
here
to
provide
the
invocation
and
I
also
understand
that
you
serve
as
chaplain
for
our
emergency
crews
that
are
called
out
in
difficult
times
for
national
disasters.
B
C
Right
well,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
mayor
council,
it's
an
honor
to
be
with
you
here
tonight
and
I
got
the
call
to
come
and
share
the
invocation
so
gladly
accepted
and
very
honored
to
be
here
with
you
as
mayor
said:
I'm,
the
chaplain
for
the
GCR
Georgia
search
and
rescue
team
here
out
of
Columbus
and
also
just
saw
they're
gonna
try
to
get
30
Chargers.
So
one
go
ahead
and
say
a
prayer
for
that
tonight.
C
That's
okay,
Chiefs
here
so,
but
so
thankful
to
be
with
you
all
and,
and
actually
it
says,
Calvary
Baptist
on
there
I
love,
Calvary
Baptist,
but
I'm
a
pastor
of
Calvary
Chapel
here
in
Columbus.
That's
all
right
happens
all
the
time.
But
if
you
don't
I'll,
read
a
quick
verse
here
says
in
Romans
chapter
13,
verse,
1,
let
every
soul
be
subject
to
the
higher
powers
for
there's
no
power
but
of
God.
C
The
powers
that
be
are
ordained
of
God,
and
so
you
guys
are
the
powers
that
be
here
in
Columbus
and
I,
see
that
and
we
recognize
that
and
as
the
church
representative,
the
body
of
Christ,
we
recognize
you
all.
As
leaders
here
appointed
by
the
people,
we,
the
people
and
we're
honored
to
have
you
all
so
as
I
pray,
I'll
be
praying
over
you
all
and
over
our
city
and
the
agenda
tonight.
So
if
you
don't
mind,
we'll
bow
our
heads
in
prayer
Father
in
Heaven.
C
We
thank
you
so
much
for
this
evening
to
gather
together
as
the
people
of
Columbus
Georgia,
to
come
before
you
tonight
God,
and
an
ask
that
you
would
bless
the
mayor
bless
the
council,
the
City
Council,
those
who
are
here
tonight
and
those
who
could
not
make
it
tonight.
We
ask
that
you
be
with
each
and
every
representative
of
Columbus
Georgia
Lord
every
different
governing
role
that
you've
placed
for
us
here
yea.
We
ask
that
you
would
have
your
hand
upon
them,
bless
them
and
encourage
them,
strengthen
them.
C
C
The
right
decisions
would
be
made
and
followed
that
your
moves
would
happen
here
in
our
city,
for
your
glory
and
for
the
betterment
of
our
city,
and
we
do
pray
Lord
for
those
thirty
Chargers
for
the
police
department
that
you
have
unless
lesson
with
that,
and
every
other
need
that's
on
the
agenda
under
there's.
Plenty
of
hearts
that
are
being
met
tonight
needs
that
are
going
to
be
spoken
of
and
brought
forward.
C
We
pray
that
you
meet
every
need
and
that
we
as
a
city
would
recognize
your
hand
upon
us
and
your
deciding
factors
would
would
come
into
play
and
that
we
would
heed
your
direction
God
and
accept
your
answers
so
bless.
This
council
tonight
bless
this
meeting
and

our
city
and
precious
name
of
Jesus.
We
pray
amen.
Thank
you.
B
All
very
much
thank
you,
pastor,
Swift,
so
much
and
thank
you
for
all
you
do
to
sir
this
community.
We
also
have
with
us
Davis
elementary
school.
They
are
here
to
help
lead
us
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance,
so
we
want
to
call
you
forward.
If
you
would
please
come
to
the
clerk's
desk
here
we
have
a
microphone
and
as
they
assemble,
if
you
would
please
stand
and
prepare
for
them
to
lead
us
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
D
B
E
E
G
E
B
B
Well,
thank
you,
and
we
really
appreciate
you
being
here.
We
appreciate
you
being
JD
Davis
scholars
and
look
forward
to
some
day
some
of
you
sitting
up
here
how
about
that.
You
come
back
and
help
us
out
with
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
sometime
soon
great.
Thank
you
guys.
Let's
give
them
another
round
of
applause.
B
B
They
went
down
and
checked
out
the
the
voting
booths.
Don't
forget.
We
have
early
voting
going
on
all
this
week,
Monday
through
Friday
and
then
of
course,
Saturday
and
Sunday
this
weekend
from
9
a.m.
to
4
p.m.
so
that's
Monday
through
Friday,
7
a.m.
to
7
p.m.
and
then
Saturday
and
Sunday
9
a.m.
to
4
p.m.
so.
There's
no
excuse
not
to
vote
not
to
let
your
voice
be
heard.
So
please,
turnout
and
and
get
those
votes
in
early
and
then,
of
course,
you'll
have
voting
on
November
6th
at
your
regular
home
precinct.
B
So
so
again,
no
excuse
for
that.
We
want
to.
We
have
several
presentations,
we're
going
to
bring
up
to
the
mayor's
agenda
again
to
try
and
accommodate
some
particular
things,
but
we
had
one
particular
request
from
a
dad.
Who's
been
asked
to
be
at
his
child's
play
in
just
a
few
moments,
and
so
what
we're
going
to
do
is
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager,
because
we
believe
this
will
not
take
very
long.
B
If
we
start
getting
into
the
weeds,
I
will
suspend
it
and
he
has
agreed
already
that
he
will
come
back
so
not
to
put
any
pressure
on
our
councillors.
It
may
have
a
lot
of
questions.
We
don't
want
to
cut
you
all
off,
but
in
case
you
don't
have
questions
we
want
to
get
him
to
that
play
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
city
attorney.
At
this
time.
H
H
I
J
J
I
Just
write
home,
just
the
Builder
I
just
want
to
identify
who
was
who
okay
and
also
you
and
I,
spoke
about
a
buffer
in
the
area.
There's
a
Creek
Council
that
borders
this
property
and
what
we
had
agreed
to.
One
of
the
options
is
20-foot
buffer
and
since
it's
a
creek
and
it
requires
a
25-foot
buffer,
we
I
was
going
to
make
a
proposal
that
a
condition
be
added
to
increase
the
from
20
feet
to
25
feet
along
the
buffer,
and
we've
agreed
that
that
would
yes.
J
B
B
H
H
J
B
G
D
E
D
G
G
So
the
purpose
of
the
plan
first
program
just
to
educate
everyone
here
today.
The
purpose
of
the
plan
first
program
is
to
recognize
and
reward
communities
who
consistently
and
successfully
implement
their
comprehensive
plan
so
before
I
go
any
further
with
describing
or
explaining.
What's
in
the
memorandum
of
agreement,
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
and
commend
you
on
the
awesome
planning
staff
that
you
have.
They
have
supported
the
plan
first
program
throughout
this
first
iteration
of
their
designation
and
without
your
excellent
staff.
G
My
job
would
not
be
successful,
so
thank
you
and
and
I
want
to
come
in
just
at
the
benefits
of
the
plan.
First
program
includes
statewide
recognition,
and
that
will
officially
happen
once
again
in
January
or
February
wants
to
be
governor
is
in
office,
and
we
can
make
arrangements
with
that
date,
but
we'll
have
an
award
ceremony
in
Atlanta,
with
the
governor
and
with
and
with
other
communities
in
January
February
you'll
also
have
access
to
a
half
percent
reduction
on
a
chief
alone.
Should
you
all
apply
for
one
and
for
non
entitlement,
local
governments?
G
They
are
eligible
to
apply
for
Community,
Development,
Block
Grants.
On
an
annual
basis,
you
all
would
also
get
if
you
apply
for
the
following:
DCA
programs:
the
employment
incentive
program,
the
redevelopment
fund
and
the
Downtown
Development
revolving
loan
loan
fund.
You
other
you
would
get
bonus
points
or
bonus,
point
reductions
on
those
applications
and
then
finally,
you
would
get
free
attendance
and
adding
Community
Planning
Institute.
That
DCA
has
and
we
have
that
twice
a
year
and
a
shameless
plug.
We
have
a
Community
Planning
Institute,
coming
up
on
November,
15th
and
16th
in
Athens
Georgia.
G
So
the
community
responsibilities
of
the
memorandum
of
agreement
include
the
the
expectation
that
you
continue
to
strive
for
planning
excellence
in
all
areas
of
comprehensive
plan.
Development
and
implementation
participate
in
the
plan
first
program
by
supporting
two
staff
members
participation
as
a
plan:
first
viewer
reviewer,
and
then
the
one
called
upon
that
you
participate
as
a
presenter
at
a
Community
Planning
Institute,
and
that
you
submit
a
minimum
of
one
plan.
Implementation,
success
story
annually
to
the
DCA
planning,
success
stories
and
best
practices
webpage.
G
And
then
you
maintain
your
eligibility
as
a
qualified
local
government
and
once
again
as
since
you
all,
are
being
read.
Ezza
nated,
it's
clear
that
you
all
don't
have
an
issue
meeting
any
of
those
requirements,
so
without
further
ado,
I
would
like
to
formally
present
you
all
with
the
certificate
of
becoming
a
redoes
it
made
of
plan
first
community.
G
B
B
Yes,
thank
you.
Well,
we
are
so
proud
of
our
staff.
In
fact,
we
just
were
looking
at
our
comprehensive
plan
at
our
last
meeting
and
several
of
the
counselors
spoke
about
how
hard
our
staff
works
to
be
that
cut
above
and
do
things
very
professionally.
So
we
thank
you
for
that
recognition
coming
down
taking
a
moment
to
recognize
what
we
think
is
an
outstanding
staff,
and
we
have
a
few
folks
that
would
like
to
say
hello.
We've
got
councillor.
L
B
M
There's
an
important
date
and
opportunity.
That's
before
us
before
them
in
July
of
2019,
and
some
things
need
to
be
done
at
the
softball
complex
and
they
came
to
this
council.
They
share
with
you
those
things
and
then
they
met
with
me
to
ask
for
a
specified
amount
of
money
and
they
were
going
to
go
out
and
fundraise
for
the
difference.
And
so
because
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
funding
options,
I
want
to
present
or
share
with
you
the
overview
and
what
they
asked
for
the
Sports
Council.
M
And
then,
when
our
finance
director
comes
up,
she'll
be
talking
about
funding
options
for
not
just
a
government
Center,
but
an
option
for
doing
what
the
Sports
Council
has
has
asked
of
this
government
in
order
to
make
those
necessary
repairs
at
South
Cummins
for
that
july,
2019
event,
and
so
with
that
I've
got
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
with
just
a
few
slides
of
an
overview
and
what
they
ask
is
that's
coming
from
the
Sports
Council.
Thank.
N
The
financial
requests
that
they're
asking
of
the
city
back
in
March
of
this
year,
Mary
Sherman,
the
executive
director
of
Sports,
Council
and
members
of
her
board
met
with
the
city
manager
and
staff
just
to
share
with
us,
of
course,
of
this
opportunity.
In
terms
of
this
International
Cup.
That
I'll
mention
to
you
a
little
bit
more
about
as
we
go
on
into
the
presentation.
So
on
March,
the
22nd
she
came
and
then,
of
course,
April
the
9th
and
on
April
the
10th.
N
She
actually
brought
with
her
the
USA
softball
commissioners
for
Georgia
and,
of
course,
the
Junior
Olympic
Commissioner
and
the
US
softball
Georgia
Commissioner.
They
came
and
they
did
a
tour
of
South
Commons
and
our
softball
facilities
to
take
a
look
at
just
where
they
are
since
the
last
time
they
were
here.
N
She
then
met
with
the
city
manager
again
on
August,
the
6th
and
and
that's
when
they
talked
about
the
funding
opportunities.
But
of
course
that
was
after
she
came
to
Council
July
the
31st
and
share
with
you
just
what
they
were
looking
at,
and
so
everyone
received
that
presentation
at
that
time,
and
so
I'm,
just
gonna
give
you
a
few
snippets
of
what
she
came
to
you
and
asked
for,
and
so
at
that
time
she
mentioned
that
this
was
the
first
international
fast
pitch
softball
that
was
played
on
American
soil.
N
It
was
played
right
here
at
South
Commons
in
Columbus,
and
so
we
were
certainly
honored
and
pleased
about
that,
and
it
was
of
course
hosted
an
historic
golden
part
back
in
1996
during
the
Olympics
in
Columbus
again
at
that
point,
because
of
all
the
notoriety
became
the
destination
for
softball
tournaments,
and
it
was
because
of
the
experience
that
they
had
in
Columbus.
They
kept
them
coming
back,
and
so
we're
glad
to
hear
that
and
to
see
that
their
interest
is
still
here.
N
The
new
opportunity
that
has
come
forward
is
again
the
International
Cup
u.s.
softball
international
Cup
to
be
played
here
in
July
of
2019.
It
would
provide
us
with
international
exposure.
It
would
also
allow
us
to
host
the
US
softball
teams
as
they
prepare
for
the
2020
Olympics
and
again.
The
2020
Olympics
will
be
the
first
time
that
the
games
that
the
softball
is
back
in
the
Olympics,
and
so
they
want
to
come
here
and
prepare
for
that
opportunity.
Now
we
recognize
that
there
are
much-needed
repairs
to
take
place
in
South
Commons.
N
We
provided
to
you
a
facilities
report,
some
time
back
and
included
in
that
facilities.
Report
was
information
about
the
South
Commons
and
the
condition
of
South
Commons
and
the
cost
to
get
it
where
it
needs
to
be.
But
of
course,
the
concern
since
that
came
and
looked
at
South
Commons
at
that
point
only
they
recognized
that
there
are
just
a
few
things
that
need
when
we
say
a
few
things
and
things
that
need
to
be
taken.
N
It's
taken
care
of
in
order
for
them
to
bring
the
games
back
to
us
and,
as
you
can
see,
from
dugout
fencing
lighting
getting
the
turf
where
it
needs
to
be
upgrading
the
stadium,
our
restrooms
and
painting
landscaping
and
the
bullpens
and
some
ad
a
compliant
issues,
just
to
name
a
few.
Now,
based
on
all
of
those
much
needed
repairs,
they
determined
that
it's
about
five
point.
Six
million
dollars
needed
to
get
it
where
it
needs
to
be
in
order
for
them
to
bring
the
games
here.
N
And,
of
course,
you
know,
those
are
some
decisions
that
need
to
be
made
quickly
in
order
for
them
to
go
ahead
and
contract
with
the
u.s.
Softball
Association
and
to
make
this
happen
now,
Sports
Council
is
willing
to
put
in
in
to
fundraise
on
a
capital
campaign
of
2.6
million.
They
are
asking
of
the
city.
M
That
is
to
share
with
you
that
they're
asking
us
for
three
million
dollars,
and
so
the
finance
director
is
going
to
come
and
talk
about
funding
options,
but
if
you've
got
questions
right
now
for
deputy
city
manager,
at
least
a
good
one
or
Sports
Council
representatives,
they
are,
we
can
answer
those
now,
but
otherwise,
we'll
have
our
finance
director
come
and
talk
about
funding
options.
Okay,.
O
P
I
O
M
And
I
would
just
say
to
you
know,
with
the
3
million
dollar
investment
and
a
1.1
million
economic
impact
with
national
international
exposure.
It's
an
investment
that
has
appreciated
the
stadium
that
we
will
be
able
to
compete
and
bring
other
tournaments,
and
so
it
doesn't
just
stop
there.
It's
not
just
this
one
investment.
M
Excuse
me
this
one
opportunity
that
we'll
have,
but
because
of
the
repair
work
that
will
get
done,
there
will
be
others
that
we
will
be
able
to
go
and
compete
and
bring
here
that
would
have
further
economic
impact
going
forward
until
we
are
able
to
do
a
more
comprehensive
renovation
repair
at
South.
Commons
excuse.
Q
You
ma'am
mr.
city
manager,
I
would
like
you
to
talk
about
the
terms
I
think
the
financing
can
be
arranged
and
and
just
for
the
sake
of
of
the
viewing
audience
and
the
public
I
think
some
of
us
have
already
had
a
chance
to
work
through
this.
So
it's
kind
of
discussing
it
here
tonight,
there's
some
there's
some
other
as
far
as
economic
impact
there's
some
other
numbers
that
need
to
be
expressed
here
tonight
and
first
is
annually.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
We've
got
a
venue
that
produces
we've
got
a
very
competitive
venue
out
in
the
market.
We've
got
national
exposure
and
everybody
wants
a
piece
of
that
in
the
state
of
Georgia.
People
are
building
new
complexes,
they're
trying
to
get
that
and
to
have
this
event
to
come
to
Columbus
like
this
means
that
they
still
believe
in
us.
They
have
confidence
in
us
and
they
want
to
be
here.
Q
You
know
what
I
worry
about
when
I
see
is,
if
they
do
come
to
Columbus
and
they
see
what
we
have
now,
it's
not
going
to
be
good
and
you
lose
your
reputation
and
when
that
gets
out
there
nationally
and
starts
circulating
about-
and
you
know,
Comus
was
the
facilities.
There
was
a
wreck.
You
know:
I
can't
believe
that
we
didn't
leave
there
with
broken
legs
and
broken
arms.
Q
I
mean
that
that's
the
kind
of
stuff
that
circulates
out
there
and
I
may
be
overstating
it,
but
they
talk
about
stuff
like
that,
and
then
it
gets
to
one
group
and
another
group,
and
next
thing
you
know
they
just
bypass
Columbus
Georgia
and
they
go
everywhere
else.
So
I
think
it's
it's
extremely
important
that
we
keep
our
reputation
and
our
venue
where
it
is
it
produces
it's
not
a
question
about
not
producing
it
produces
and
produces
annually.
So
I
think.
That's
really
really
important.
Here.
We've
got
a
chance
to
do
a
public/private
partnership.
Q
People
are
willing
to
step
up
to
the
plate
and
we've
got
an
opportunity.
I
know
it's.
It's
tough
I
mean
it's
tough
to
with
all
these
financial
challenges,
but
here's
one
more
that
if
we
lose
it,
it's
just
I
hate
to
say
it,
but
I
don't
think
it's
coming
back
and
I
know
the
business
the
industry
I
know
the
business
know
what
about
it.
It
won't
come
back,
somebody
else
to
take
it
and
we'll
have
to
fight.
You
know.
Q
Ie
golden
Park,
you
know
just
think
about
that
aspect
of
baseball
and
what's
happened
throughout
our
country
and
the
competition
there
and
what's
going
on,
I
mean
it's
not
just
here,
it's
all
over.
So
that's!
What's
at
stake
and
I
look
at
this
as
a
small
investment
to
keep
you
know
annually,
it's
an
economic
generator,
it's
its
economic
development,
it's
a
venue
that
supports
small
business
and,
if
we
say
we're
supporting
small
business
and
we
want
to
produce
jobs
and
support.
What
we
have
here.
Q
This
to
me
is
a
way
to
infuse
a
little
something
today
to
keep
it
going,
and
hopefully
it
will
continue
to
pay
dividends,
that's
hard
to
see
and
that's
what
I
want
to
take
a
minute,
a
city
manager
to
express
that.
So
when
you
look
at
those
numbers
over
the
years
where
we're
at
annually
I
mean
it's
South
Cummings
by
far,
is
our
number
one
sports
tourism
venue
that
we
have
by
far
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
keep
it
where
it
needs
to
be
as
far
as
competitive
and
updated.
R
R
M
R
S
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
council,
mr.
city
manager,
as
the
presentation
is
passed
out
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
I'll,
speak
very
briefly
tonight
about
the
funding
options
we
have
have
and
come
up
with
for
making
the
repairs
and
renovations
to
the
Government
Center,
with
the
first
option
being
option.
One
part
a
would
be
to
the
use
of
insurance
proceeds.
We
would
like
to
proceed
for
with
using
the
1.1
million
in
insurance
proceeds
to
restore
the
courtrooms
and
the
related
offices
back
to
usable
working
conditions
and
that's
part.
S
A
of
option
1
on
Part
B
would
be
3
million
for
life,
safety
improvement,
3
million
for
the
South
Commons
project
and
1
million
for
the
for
government,
center
planning
and
assessments.
What
we'd
like
to
consider
in
this
option
is
the
issuance
of
a
CBA
lease
revenue
bond.
That's
the
Columbus
Building
Authority
lease
revenue
bond
and
we
would
structure
that
either
as
a
public
offering
or
a
private
placement
for
a
total
of
seven
million
dollars.
The
five-year
debt
service
repayment
on
that
seven
million
would
be
approximately
1.5
million
per
year.
S
If
we
financed
it
for
10
years,
it
would
be
approximately
eighty,
eight
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
per
year,
and
so
this
CBA
bond
would
be
structured
in
such
a
way
that
there
would
be
no
prepayment
penalty.
So
you
know,
for
whatever
reason,
if
we
didn't
need
all
the
seven
million,
for
whatever
reason
we
could
pay
reinvest
that
back
into
the
debt
service
payment
that'd
be
no
pre,
no
penalties
for
making
those
prepayment
saying
it
could
be
refunded
at
a
later
date.
S
As
part
of
a
larger
issuance,
we
would
use
a
combination
of
fund
balance
reserves
and
that
would
be
general
fund
or
the
old
lost.
30%
infrastructure
is
monies
to
cover
the
debt
service
payments,
and
this
would
be
without
a
property
tax
increase.
We
do
have
some
items,
some
obligations
that
are
ending
in
f119,
so
we
do
have
the
capacity
and
old
loss
infrastructure
to
handle
the
debt
service
payments.
I
would
recommend
the
ten-year
payback
option,
like
I
said
that
could
be
funded
through
using
a
loss,
infrastructure
monies
and
the
ten
year.
M
So,
just
to
be
clear,
there
would
not
be
a
property
tax
increase,
it
would
come
from
old
loss
infrastructure,
30%,
not
public
safety,
and
we
have
the
capacity
because
of
some
things
that
are
going
to
come
off
and
it
would
not
interfere
with
any
of
resurfacing
projects
or
bridge
projects
or
anything
else
that
we
have
planned
to
do
just
to
be
clear.
That's.
S
Correct
so
the
cost
of
issuance
would
be
about
two
to
three
percent.
That
would
be
about
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
to
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
plus
about
five
hundred
to
thirty,
eight
thousand
to
1.1
million
in
interest
cost,
and
that
just
depends
on
the
financing
terms,
whether
it's
five
years
or
ten
years.
S
As
far
as
the
life
safety
improvements
that
we'd
like
to
go
ahead
with,
we
would
come
back
to
Council
with
the
resolution
for
Erin
and
Clements
for
their
assistance
in
helping
us
with
the
life
safety
improvements
for
a
resolution
not
to
exceed
twenty
six
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and,
like
I
said
that
will
be
brought
back
at
a
future
meeting.
Well,.
T
M
S
Correct
we
would
like
to
move
forward
with
some
of
those
life
safety
improvements
such
as
the
fire
stops.
It
would
be
beneficial
to
go
ahead
and
put
that
into
place
while
the
courtroom
reconstruction
project
is
ongoing,
and
that
would
be
okay
as
far
as
the
financing
standpoint,
because
what
we'd
also
like
to
do
at
a
future
meeting
is
bring
back
a
reimbursement
resolution
and
there
is
a
60
day,
look-back
period
on
the
reimbursement
resolution.
S
So
once
that
resolution
is
approved
by
council,
this
would
allow
for
any
expenditures
that
we
may
have
incurred
the
60
days
prior
to
execution.
The
resolution
to
be
reimbursed
by
the
bond
proceeds-
and
we
can
do
this
even
before
the
closing
so
there's
no
delay
in
getting
the
work
started
because
of
the
60-day
look-back
period
and.
M
Favor
this
option
and
for
whatever
it's
worth,
because
we
can
get
all
the
things
done
that
we
need
to
do.
We
can
do
it
without
interfering
with
projects
that
are
already
on
the
books
related
to
Oh
lost
30%.
We
wouldn't
impact
roads,
we
wouldn't
impact
stormwater
projects
that
we've
got
IT
or
anything
else
so
and
we
would
be
able
to
do
it.
We've
got
the
capacity
to
do
it
of
the
old
laws
30%
without
a
property
tax
increase.
If
we
go
the
button
route,
so
with
that
you
can
go
with
number
2,
we.
B
Do
have
a
question
and
also
it
may
be
helpful
for
others
to
understand
that,
and
maybe
this
is
a
City
Attorney
question,
but
that
the
city
just
can't
go
down
to
the
bank
and
take
out
a
signature
note
as
a
business
might
if
a
business
had
enough
collateral
and
and
their
finance
statements
look
good,
they
could
go
down
the
CB
and
tee
and
say:
hey
I
need
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
loan
and
they
would
work
it
out.
Clifton.
Do
you
and
explained
that
the
the
city?
B
H
General
rule
is,
if
you're
looking
at
a
long
term
project,
that's
going
to
go
more
than
a
year.
You
just
don't
run
to
the
bank
and
sign
a
note.
You
want
something
like
an
authority
bond.
Our
building
Authority
has
this
capacity
and
that's
the
way
you
finance
these
projects,
but
this
is
a
perfect
utilization
of
the
building
Authority,
this
type
project,
South
Commons
renovation
of
a
government
center
or
building
a
new
courthouse.
That's
exactly
what
this
was
designed
for,
but
yeah,
the
only
very,
very
short-term
projects.
S
As
the
city
attorney
meant,
I,
don't
know
a
council
remember
that
tax
anticipation,
note
that
we
had
to
put
in
place
last
year
because
of
the
situation
that
we
had
as
far
as
the
payment
due
date
for
the
taxes
well
in
any
temporary
loan
that
you
make
has
to
be
paid
back
by
the
end
of
their
calendar
year.
So
we
would
have
to
pay
it
back
by
December
31st.
If
we've
made
a
short-term
loan
of
some
sort.
S
M
M
M
S
M
So
she
says
we
do
not
have
to
wait
for
the
bonds
to
be
closed
to
get
started
if
needed.
As
long
as
the
reimbursement
resolution
is
in
place
and
we
were
bring
back.
If
you
selected
this
option,
we
will
bring
back
the
reimbursement
resolution
at
the
November
13th
meeting.
So
that's
just
all
for
that
one
option,
and
so
the
other
options.
S
So
option
two
Part
A
again
is
the
use
of
insurance
proceeds
using
the
1.1
million
in
insurance
proceeds
to
restore
the
courtrooms
and
offices
back
to
usable
working
conditions.
Part
B
is
only
the
3
million
for
the
life
safety
improvements.
We
would
issue
a
cba
lease
revenue
bond,
neither
by
public
offering
a
private
placement
for
3
million
the
debt
service.
The
five-year
debt
service
repayment
is
approximately
500
I'm,
sorry
650,000
10-year
debt
service
repayment
is
approximately
350,000
per
year.
S
Again
we
would
use
a
combination
of
fund
balance
reserves,
be
a
general
fund
or
Oh
lost
30%
infrastructure
to
cover
the
debt
service
payment.
This
is
again
without
a
property
tax
increase
cost
of
issuance
2
to
3%.
That
amounts
to
about
sixty
to
ninety
thousand
dollars,
plus
two
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
to
five
hundred
thousand
in
interest
additional
interest
costs.
S
As
far
as
the
life
safety
improvements
again
coming
back
with
a
resolution
for
Erin
and
Clements
not
to
exceed
twenty
six
thousand
five
hundred
and
that'll
be
back
at
the
next
meeting,
Part
C
of
option
two
is
we
can
do
this
one
or
two
ways
again?
These
are
the
funds
needed
for
the
planning
and
need
assessment
studies
for
a
new
judicial
and
government
Center.
So
we
could
either
propose
that
to
be
included
as
part
of
the
FY.
S
2008
could
be
done
as
part
of
the
bond
financing.
If
we
choose
to
make
it
a
part
of
the
three
million,
so
it
effectively
increasing
that
to
four
million
dollars
that
we
financed,
that
being
a
dish,
no
debt
service,
payment
of
117
thousand
to
two
hundred
seventeen
thousand,
just
depending
on
the
financing
terms,
whether
it's
a
five-year
note
or
a
five-year
deal
or
a
ten-year
deal
and.
M
Q
Manager
I
know
we
had
a
meeting
on
this,
but
I
don't
think
at
that
time
that
we
discussed
future
needs
and
I'm
trying
to
sort
through
this
a
little
bit
just
it
says,
funds
for
planning
and
needs
assessment
studies.
What
are
we
talking
about
here
and
why
would
we
need
that
kind
of
money
in
the
next
six
months
before
the
budget
cycle?
Okay,.
U
I'm
new
there
on
Aaron
and
Clements,
where
our
residents
of
Columbus
down
the
historic
district
council
Davis
as
we
discussed
at
our
last
meeting,
we
feel
strongly
that
the
only
way
you
can
make
the
right
decision
on
which
option
for
the
government
Center
is
to
confirm
the
programming.
We
confirm
the
programming
that
could
lead.
U
It
will
lead
to
a
more
accurate
assessment
of
how
many
square
feet
are
needed
for
the
buildings,
both
the
Judicial
Center
and
the
admin
side,
and
it
could
very
well
decrease
because
we'll
be
would
be
looking
at
any
option
that
we
could
to
have
joint
use
of
any
facility
that
can
be
or
to
arrange
it
in
a
way
where
it
could
decrease
the
programming.
But
after
you
finish,
that
is
to
take
the
options
you
like
that.
That
would
identify
options
that
you
might
want
to
explore.
U
Tear
down
buildings,
keep
buildings,
renovate
buildings,
build
on
another
site,
portions
of
it
or
all
of
it,
and
take
those
to
a
not
a
complete
design,
but
their
stages
and
design
that
the
very
first
ones
called
schematic
pricing.
It's
enough
information
for
a
construction
manager
to
actually
come
up
with
a
more
detailed
budget
for
each
one.
Then
you
would
know
what
your
cost
is
for
each
option
and
you'd
know
much
more
accurately
than
just
square-foot
numbers,
and
you
would
also
know
the
schedules
for
each
one
of
them.
So
you
can
make
the
best
decision.
Q
You
know
for
consultants
and
all
I'll,
just
I'm
struggling
with
that
I
know
they're
still
going
to
be
a
lot
more
conversation
and
dialogue.
As
we
go
on
this
matter,
you
know
if
you're,
just
holding
it
until
we
make
those
determinations
I,
still
see
a
lot
of
decisions
that
need
to
be
made
for
you
get
to
that
point.
So
I,
don't
know
why.
Today,
where
is
their
reasoning?
That's.
M
M
M
But
then,
if
when
we
do
those
things,
we
know
that
that
building
is
we
got
to
do
something
and
we
got
to
do
something
soon
and
we
need
to
start
that
process
now
and,
and
that
is
why
we
need
to
plan
and
make
sure
that
we
do
all
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
determine
just
what
mr.
Aaron
just
talked
about
square
footage
and
all
of
everything,
and
that
I
mean
it
comes
at
a
price
and
and
so
this
stuff,
the
plan
and
architectural
design.
M
All
this
other
stuff,
as
you
know,
can
take
months
in
yeah
and
and
so
the
sooner
we
get
to
the
planning
process.
The
sooner
we're
going
to
be
in
a
position
to
move
forward
with
whatever
we're
going
to
do
with
that,
building,
whether
it's
renovated
demo
it
and
construct
back
on
site
or
go
to
a
different
location.
And
so
it's
going
to
take
money
to
get
it
done
and
the
million
dollars
is
there
to
support
that
moving
it
moving
the
planning
process
forward.
We
cannot
move
forward
without
money
and
a
planning
process.
It
cost
I.
S
M
And
so,
and
so
what
the
finance
director
has
presented
when
go
ahead
and
get
the
money
when
we
do
the
CBA,
if
you're
going
to
do
this
other
stuff
or
we
can
wait
until
the
next
start
of
the
next
fiscal
year
and
try
and
figure
it
out
in
the
budget
process.
Well,
if
we
do
that,
then
obviously
that's
months
away
and
that's
time
that
we
would
will
have
lost
in
moving
forward
with
a
planning
process
and.
S
Q
Let's
just
say:
seven
million
for
numbers
sake.
You
want
to
take
out
seven
million
and
just
go
ahead
and
do
the
bond
underwriting
on
seven
doesn't
mean
you're
going
to
use
it.
That's
where
all
the
sudden
right
it
could
be
holding
there
until
we
have
a
time
to
make
further
decisions
later,
but
be
used
at
erect
and
it's
subject
it
could
be
used.
It
may
not
be
used.
That
is.
M
M
S
S
So,
moving
on
to
option
three
option:
three
is
very
much
the
same
as
option
to
part
a
would
be.
The
use
of
insurance
proceeds
to
restore
the
courtrooms.
Part
B
would
be
the
three
million
for
life
safety
improvements,
same
debt
service
terms
as
far
as
the
five
years
being
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
a
year,
ten
years
been
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
per
year.
S
The
only
difference
between
option
three
and
option
two
is
that,
as
opposed
to
using
Oh
lost
infrastructure,
money
or
reserves,
we
could
increase
the
debt
service
millage
to
cover
the
debt
service
repayment.
Again,
the
financing
terms
will
be
about
two
to
three
percent
of
the
amount
financed.
That's
sixty
to
ninety
thousand
additional
interest,
two
hundred
and
thirty
to
five
hundred
thousand
and
again
there's
a
resolution
for
Arrington
Clements
that
we
bring
back
up
in
November
13th
meeting
the
Part
C
is
the
1
million
dollars
again.
S
S
S
So
option
4
again,
Part
A
is
using
the
1.1
million
in
insurance
proceeds
to
restore
the
courtrooms
and
those
related
offices,
Part
B,
the
3
million
that
we
need
for
the
life
safety
improvements.
We
would
utilize
Olaf's
reserves
to
make
this
happen.
We
would
take
800
thousand
for
from
reserves
for
the
fire
to
install
the
immediately
install
the
fire
stops
because
it's
beneficial
to
make
that
part
of
the
court
court
reconstruction
project
and
then
for
the
additional
2.2
million
needed
to
pressurize
the
stairwells,
upgrade
the
fire
alarm
system
and
install
the
lock
replacements.
S
That
would
be
achieved
by
reducing
fronds
for
and
delaying
existing
projects
that
we
have
using
the
Oh
lost,
30%
infrastructure
monies
and
that's
a
hundred
thousand
from
facilities.
Six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
from
storm
water
and
one
point
four:
five
million
from
roads,
as
you
can
see
here,
that
would
delay
resurfacing
that
we
have
in
place
at
FY,
18
and
19
Broadway
rehab
that's
been
in
place
since
FY
16
and
some
part
improvements
of
FY,
17
and
18.
S
Other
considerations
would
be
to
lease
or
purchase
commercial
office
space
and
convert
that
to
courtrooms
and
administrative
offices
of
the
courts,
and
we
do
not
have
a
estimated
cost
at
this
time,
because
that
would
be
determined
based
on
the
amount
of
space
that
we
need
and
the
configurations
that's
needed
to
convert
that
space
to
courtrooms.
And
it's
related
offices.
B
B
B
V
D
M
If
they
vote
tonight,
we
are
prepared
to
move
forward
with
the
insurance
proceeds.
It's
on
my
agenda
as
item
elf
and
we
were
moved
forward
with
item
F
on
my
agenda
to
proceed
with
the
insurance
proceeds
and
then
at
the
November
13th.
We
will
bring
back
a
resolution
and
we
would
move
the
process
for
from
there.
M
V
I,
don't
think
anybody
has
a
problem
with
moving
as
fast
as
we
can
for
the
insurance
proceeds
and
getting
the
work
done
here.
The
judges
back
yet
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
the
number
and
priority
it's
just
combining
things
with
other
things
that
some
of
the
others
I
think
probably
needs.
Some
discussion.
I
have
no
problem
with
item
a
moving
forward
with
the
basic
renovations.
A
couple
of
questions.
I
have
because
I
get
nervous.
Every
time.
I
see
it
use
of
fund
balance
reserves
because
we
don't
have
any.
W
M
M
M
S
I
mean
we
have
the
reserves,
so
we
technically,
we
could
tap
into
reserves
if
we
need
it
to,
but
because
of
the
way
the
fact
these
fine
deals
are
typically
structured.
The
payments
are
made
in
arrears.
So,
even
if
we
closed
on
the
bonds
in
December,
it's
typically
next
December's
will
we
make
that
first
payment,
and
we
have
the
capacity
just
next
year
in
the
budget
to
afford
that
that
payment
makes
come
next
December
without
touching
reserves
right.
M
V
V
V
M
I
D
M
B
K
D
B
M
B
X
I'm
already
willing
to
support
councillor
Thomas's
motion.
If
there
other
councillors,
who
are
hesitant,
we've
got
to
get
the
courtrooms
up
and
moving.
So
if
we
need
to
if
we
need
to
separate
out
the
vote
to
go
ahead
and
vote
tonight
to
get
the
insurance
proceeds
moving
I'm
wanting
to
do
that,
but
I
mean
I'm
comfortable
with
councillor
Thomas's
motion
as
is,
but
whatever
we
do
tonight.
We
need
to
have
a
vote
related
to
the
insurance
proceeds.
O
Think
time
is
of
the
essence
in
both
of
these
issues,
both
the
courtrooms.
We
need
to
get
those
courtrooms
up
and
running
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
as
I
understand
it.
That
Sports
Council
is
also
under
somewhat
of
a
timeline
to
get
the
money
pledged
so
that
they
can
get
the
matching
money
that
they
need
from
the
community
and
get
started
on
their
on
their
process.
So
I
think
with
this
option
one
it
gives
us
both
of
those
things.
That
does
not
mean
that
tomorrow
we're
going
to
give
the
Sports
Council
three
million
dollars.
O
It
means
that
we're
going
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done
in
a
financially
expedient
but
prolific
way
to
make
sure
that
all
of
these
points
on
option
1
are
hit
so
that
time
is
a
evanescence
and
I
would
like
to
ask
that
as
much
of
this,
that
can
be
brought
back
to
us
next
week
at
the
work
session
and
if
we
need
to
turn
that
into
a
regular
session
in
order
to
make
some
of
these
decisions,
I'm
ready
for
us
to
do
that.
But
we
need
to
get.
B
B
Was
already
on
the
table,
there's
no
need
to
second
that
okay,
I
didn't
know
if
it
was
a
substitute
or
something
she
got
another
second
called
here
and
I
wasn't
sure.
Okay,
what's
that,
okay
yeah
we've
got
and
again
I'm
just
going
whenever
you
all
don't
get
called
on
it's
only
because
somebody
else
buzzed
in
before
you
did
so.
Don't
think
that
I'm
picking
and
choosing
the
order
here,
counselor
Davis
I'm.
Q
Okay
with
option
one
I
will
yield
if
some
other
colleagues
want
to
take
some
time.
I
think
that
said
that
they're
gonna
bring
the
resolution
by
that's
still
into
seven,
but
I
am
prepared
to
know
if
I
need
to
make
a
motion
to
move
forward
with
the
insurance
proceeds
tonight.
We
need
to
do
that
tonight.
We
need
to
make
that
decision
tonight
and
let
whoever's
involved
get
started
immediately.
We
don't
need
to
wait
another
week.
No,
we
don't
so.
That
would
be
a
second
motion.
Madam
mayor,
is
it
all?
Is
it
no.
B
I
think
I,
really
again
it's
y'all's
pleasure,
but
the
way
I
understand
the
motion
is
that
this
is
simply
to
instruct
us
to
move
forward
with
the
insurance
monies
which
which
we
can
do,
need
no
further
action
of
counsel.
And
the
second
part
is
to
go
ahead
and
start
investing
time
and
effort
to
pursuing
option
one,
whether
it's
next
Tuesday
at
the
work
session,
because
we
convert
it
or
it's
the
first
meeting
in
in
November.
B
B
So
we've
got
counselor,
we've
got,
excuse
me
the
city
manager
and
then
councillor
Thomas.
Excuse
me
city
attorney.
Well,.
H
B
O
B
B
All
right,
then,
discussion
is
closed
and
this
is
the
motion
then,
on
option
a
with
a
ten-year
repayment
again-
and
this
is
just
so-
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
investing
time
and
in
preparing
the
documents
and
come
back
to
you.
So
let's
take
an
oral
vote
because
it's
not
I,
don't
believe
it's
queued
up.
Is
it
no.
M
B
P
H
Think
you
should,
if
you
want
to
call
it
a
business
meeting
technically
it
is
a
consent
agenda
next
week,
where
you
can
adopt
business
items
and
I
strongly
recommend
that
the
bond
resolution
that
we've
all
been
talking
about
be
voted
on,
at
least
by
next
week,
because
it
requests
that
the
commerce
building
authority
takes
specific
action
with
respect
to
this
seven
million
dollars
and
they
made
on
the
eighth.
So
I
mean
it's
ready
where
you
could
actually
vote
on
tonight.
But
if
you
want
to
be
formal
and
listed
next
week,
that's
fine.
B
It
seems
like
it's
a
procedural
thing:
it
doesn't
change
anything
else.
So
if
we
can
get
a
motion
to
convert,
we've
got
from
the
mayor,
pro-tem
emotion,
to
convert
our
work
session
to
a
full
business
meeting.
We
have
a
second
from
I
believe
pops
was
first
all
right.
Seeing
there's
no
discussion
on
that.
All
those
in
favor,
please
state
aye
any
opposed.
Okay
and
we've
got
the
mayor
pro-tem.
H
Y
Y
M
B
Great
all
right
so
now
we
return
to
our
agenda
and
we
appreciate
your
patience.
We
have
the
approval
of
minutes
for
September
25th
executive
session
and
the
October
9th
City
Council
meeting
it
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
has
any
changes
or
edits.
We've
got
a
motion
and
a
second
for
approval.
All
those
in
favor,
please
state
I,
all
right
great.
That
concludes
the
mayor's
agenda
and
now
we'll
turn
it
over
to
the
city
attorney
for
the
rest
of
his
agenda.
Mr.
Fang
I.
H
B
H
B
H
D
H
H
B
B
B
O
T
So
in
the
packet
of
information
that
you
have
that
was
prepared
by
the
Secretary
of
the
watch
group-
and
this
is
our
treasure-
miss
Lillian
Pitts.
It
outlines
ocg
a
on
maintaining
a
disorderly
house
and
disorderly
conduct
and
attached
to
that
information.
You'll
see
several
different
incident
reports:
police
reports-
one
of
them-
contains
a
photograph
of
a
bullet
that
went
through
one
of
the
neighbors
homes.
T
Just
in
the
past,
I
say
three
weeks
to
a
month
alone,
we've
had
several
drive-by
shootings
that
in
it
seems
like
somebody,
was
shooting
back
and
forth
at
one
another.
At
one
point,
and
just
a
couple
of
nights
ago
we
heard
a
young
lady
running
down
the
street
screaming
and
a
very
high-pitched
voice,
and
somebody
was
chasing
her
down
the
street,
apparently
with
a
gun,
because
she
was
running
apparently
for
her
life
ran
around
the
corner.
T
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
our
counselor
Walker
Garrett
who's
been
kind
of
on
top
of
it
he's
been
on
top
of
it
he's
been
keeping
in
touch
with
us
and
letting
us
know
whatever
information
he
need
to
know
at
this
point,
but
I
myself
have
received
some
threats
from
I.
Don't
know
what
to
say
when
you
have
one
of
your
children
stand
out
on
the
porch
and
point
their
fingers
at
you
like
that.
T
No
pow,
pow
pow,
like
you
know,
and
my
mother
says,
she's
gonna
beat
your
behind
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
Those
are
the
kind
of
threat
we've
been
getting
and
they're.
Coming
from
this
one
particular
house,
we've
already
talked
to
the
home
owner,
met
with
the
home
owner
and
the
homeowner
doesn't
seem
to
care
so
I'm
gonna
loss
right
now.
I
would
like
to
cry,
but
I'm
not
gonna.
T
Do
it
now
about
what's
going
on
in
our
neighborhood
and
what
actions
and
steps
are
being
taken
taken
to
do
something
about
it,
I'm
at
a
loss
right
now
for
anything
else,
it
got
bad
enough
one
night
when
they
started
the
drive-by
shootings
I
just
wanted
my
kitchen
and
sat
on
the
floor.
I
wouldn't
even
call
the
police,
because
I
got
tired
of
call.
It's
been
consistent
and
when
I
first
moved
into
that
neighborhood
I
could
sleep
on
my
front.
T
Z
Z
F
I,
don't
live
on
21st,
but
I
do
live
in
East
Highland
I've
been
over
there
for
about
12
or
13
years
these
women.
The
reason
I
ended
up
talking
to
them.
If
they
are
retired,
elderly
women
and
they're
afraid
to
come
out
of
their
house,
they
don't
want
to
sit
on
their
front
porch.
They
don't
want
to
go
out
and
do
their
gardens
and
and
they're
being
threatened
with
bodily
harm,
and
it
really
upsets
me
because
who
does
that
to
somebody's
grandma?
F
B
Any
of
you
all
wanted
ma'am
did
you
want
to
speak
and
say:
okay,
well,
good,
well,
I
wanted
to.
First
of
all,
thank
you
all
for
coming
tonight
and
your
complaints
have
not
gone
unheard.
We
have
tonight
with
us
captain
Kennedy
is
the
head
of
special
operations
unit
who's
been
assigned
to
this
particular
problem.
B
As
you
know,
I
receive
emails
and
when
I
do
they
don't
go
to
the
black
hole,
I,
send
them
right
on
to
the
chief
I
work
directly
with
the
chief
on
this,
and
so
we
have
captain
Kennedy
and
we've
also
had
the
crime
prevention
director
out.
There
he's
not
law
enforcement,
but
sometimes
he
can
help
with
organization,
organizing
your
great
neighborhood
associations.
B
You
have
success
here,
captain
Kennedy,
you
want
to
come
forward
to
speak
to
what
you
all
are
doing
and
and
maybe
allow
a
give
us
a
little
bit
more
context
about
where
we
are,
and
we
appreciate
you
being
here
tonight.
We
know
we
ripped
you
out
of
something
else,
but
this
is
so
very
important.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
W
W
W
Yeah,
my
name
is
captain
Kennedy
with
the
Columbus
Police
Department
Special
Operations
unit,
and
the
patrol
division
is
the
the
officers
that
are
going
to
be
responding
to
the
calls
for
service
in
East
Highland.
They
also
they
respond
to
the
9-1-1
calls
they
also
regularly
patrol
that
area,
my
unit,
which
is
made
up
of
uniformed
officers
as
well
as
undercover
officers
for
the
last
several
months,
because
we
have
been
getting
complaints
in
that
area.
We
have
officers
that
are
in
that
area.
W
Actually,
on
the
days
that
we
work
every
day
other
than
the
days
were
pulled
for
other
details
and
over
the
last
several
months
we
have
served
search
warrants
at
homes
in
that
area,
not
at
that
particular
house,
but
in
that
in
the
east
talent
area,
with
individuals
that
have
been
selling
illegal
narcotics,
we've
served
commercial
gambling
search
warrants.
We
have
arrested
individuals
for
stealing
cars
in
the
area.
We've
also
made
numerous
traffic
arrests
and
traffic
citations
have
been
written
and
illegal
narcotics
have
been
seized
as
a
result
of
those
traffic
stops.
W
So
we
are
in
the
area
and
we
are
making
arrests
and
my
unit.
Obviously,
you
would
not,
hopefully
recognize
the
plainclothes
officers,
but
the
the
marked
units
are
in
that
area
on
a
regular
basis.
I
do
sympathize
with
you
for
the
situations
that
you
guys
are
going
through,
and
I
and
I
hear
your
frustrations,
but
I
know
that
my
units
been
up
in
that
area
on
a
daily
basis
for
the
last
two
to
three
months
and
as
a
result
of
our
efforts
and
rests,
have
been
made.
B
Well,
you
know,
and
it's
one
of
those
things
misses
michaei
and
to
the
other
neighbors
that
there's
no
solace
until
it
is
done.
I
mean
you
know
until
it
is
over
and
in
this
situation
has
ended.
Tryon
is
no
solace,
but
I
want
you
to
know,
and
the
people
who
live
at
this
house
should
know
we're
watching
you
and
and
and
we
are
of
course
bound
by
the
law.
We
just
can't
go
marching
into
people's
homes.
B
As
you
know,
nobody
would
want
that,
and
so
we're
going
to
do
everything
within
the
law
and
in
proper
process
to
make
sure
that
neighborhoods
returned
safety
and
community
that
you
expect
and
that
you
deserve
so
there.
This
is
that
very
frustrating
period
where
we
had
had
an
opportunity
to
do
the
things
we
want
to
do,
but
we
are
watching
very
closely
and
very
carefully
so
so
know
that
we're
there
plainclothes
or
otherwise,
all
over
the
place.
I
didn't
know.
AA
You
know
miss
McCain
and
her
daughter
and
I
have
had
several
conversations
in
their
home.
Actually
we're
fortunate
that
councillor
Garrett
has
been
extremely
active
in
this
disturber
hood
with
us.
We've
met
at
a
coffee
shop,
one
time,
they're
doing
all
the
right
things
that
they
can
do
as
citizens.
They
make
the
calls
anytime
they
email
me.
The
email,
counselor,
Garrett
I,
know
mayor
they've
emailed
you
all.
AA
My
emails
go
to
major
Kennedy
and
sometimes
I've
emailed
captain
Kennedy,
based
on
what
the
information
was,
but
they're
doing
everything
right,
they're
doing
everything
that
we
asked
neighborhoods
to
do
in
order
to
stop
the
issues
in
their
area.
East
Highland
is
a
really
good
place
to
live,
but
they've
got
some
little
pockets
of
little
issues
here
and
there,
and
one
of
them
specifically,
is
that
house
they've
had
some
house
parties
there
they've
had
noise
ordinance
violations
on
numerous
occasions,
as
you
can
see
from
their
porch
that
they
provided
and
I.
B
X
X
Who
gonna
threaten
my
constituents?
They
don't.
They
should
don't
deserve
that
property.
They
don't
deserve
to
contaminate
our
neighborhoods
and
if
there's
something
we
can
do
legally
on
the
civil
side.
I'll
support
that
ordinance
I
need
to
know
just
what
we
can
do
legally,
though.
If
there's
multiple
violations
of
the
disorderly
conduct
statute
and
multiple
police
reports
and
it's
coming
from
not
just
one
source
but
multiple
neighbors,
there's
got
to
be
something
we
can
do
to
penalize
the
landlord's,
because
they're
allowing
the
foot's
to
come
in
they're,
taking
the
cheapest
renter.
X
They
can
and
there's
a
reason
to
get
a
cheap
rent.
It's
because
they're
letting
people
who
don't
belong
in
the
neighborhood
there
and
these
folks
have
worked
very
hard
since
I
first
got
in
office
and
before
them
to
Clint
the
neighborhood
and
I
all
support
whatever
we
can
do
to
if
you've
got
some
for
recommendation.
Mr.
C
manager,
if
you
guy
recommendation
I'll
support
where
we
can
do
in
the
ordinance
side
to
help
add
some
teeth
to
take
care
of
these
landlords.
Look.
B
We
do
have
one
thing
we
can
do
so
I
want
to
take
this
off
the
table
because
it
may
or
may
not
be
applicable,
but
we
have
done
in
the
past,
certainly
in
the
last
eight
years
and
I,
don't
know
if,
since
you've
been
on
council
last
two
years
or
so
where
we
can
threaten
to
take
property
from
a
home
from
a
land
owner,
because
they've
allowed
their
house
to
become
a
criminal
Haven
and-
and
so
you
all
may
remember-
we've
done
that
it
is.
It
is
a
very
laborious
process,
a
very
time
intensive
process.
B
B
I
know
that's
crazy,
but
it's
a
state
statute
so
that
one
may
not
be
applicable
and
that's
been
a
very
effective
one
for
us,
but
so
I'll
get
that
one,
maybe
off
the
table
as
a
point
of
discussion.
We'd
have
to
have
much
more
information
about
drug
busts.
Activities
of
prosecution
was
actually
prosecuted
and
then
you
know
God
forbid
violence
that
occurs.
They
are
pretty
significant
violence.
So
mr.
city
attorney,
do
you
have
anything
other
than
that?
One
statute
we've
used
before
that
might
not
be
helped.
Well.
H
Apart
from
that,
the
owner,
if
there's
any
involvement
in
these
criminal
activities,
they
can
be
cited
just
like
anybody
else,
two
recorders
court.
Of
course
the
police
would
have
to
do
their
undercover
investigation
and
it's
a
non-resident
landlord.
Then
you
run
into
a
problem
with
nobody
being
here
locally
to
site,
but.
X
Could
we
use
similar
to
what
we
just
passed
as
far
as
where
we
force
the
property
owner
to
abate
a
nuisance
or
abate
like
the
stockpiling
ordinance
we
exchanged?
Could
we
do
something
like
that
where,
if
they've
been
cited
multiple
times,
we
force
them
to
abate
the
nuisance,
which,
in
essence,
is
kick
out?
The
tenants
well.
H
You
can,
on
the
business,
license
issue
that
we've
looked
at
where
they
have
two
or
more
violations
within
a
year,
but
the
problem
here
is,
it
may
just
be
a
residential
use
and
there's
no
license
to
revoke
normally.
The
chief
would
come
along
and
recommend
revocation
of
the
license.
That
ends
a
problem,
but
here
there,
if
you
strictly
got
just
a
landlord
tenant
situation,
the
police
have
got
to
do
their
undercover
investigation
and
get
multiple
convictions
to
bring
into
play
the
criminal
Haven
statute
that
we've
used
before.
B
You
have
to
have,
and
just
for
the
the
neighborhood
association
you
know
those
are
the
things
you're
really
looking
for.
If
we
can
get
those
kinds
of
complaints
and
convictions,
drugs,
violence
and
prostitution
and
I
hope,
none
of
that's
going
on
by
the
way,
I
hope
it's
just
noise,
ordinances
and
obnoxious
people,
because
I
don't
want
to
wish
any
of
that
other
on
you.
But
in
order
for
us
in
a
residential,
we've
only
had
two
that
have
been
successful.
B
One
was
where
a
woman
was
living
in
the
house
and
I
think
her
son's,
maybe
or
some
relatives
were
literally
running
drugs
out
of
the
house
and
they
were
repeatedly
arrested
and,
and
you
know,
all
sorts
of
sting
operations
and
all
that
and
the
city
literally
took
the
property
from
from
the
woman.
Another
was
when
the
hole
down
on
wage
Street.
B
You
may
remember
just
had
a
decade's
long,
history
of
shootings
and
prostitution
and
drug
busts,
and
we
came
in
and
threatened
to
take
the
property
and
they
just
deeded
it
over
to
the
city
because
they
were
couldn't
couldn't
deal
with
it.
So
and
then,
of
course
it
is,
the
city
attorney
says
it's
much
easier
when
they
have
a
liquor
license
or
a
business
license,
because
that's
a
privilege
and
we
can
revoke
those
so
when
it's
residential
it
just
gets
so
hard.
B
I
just
wanted
to
explain
that
a
little
bit
more
so
that
you
understand
what
we
need
to
take
those
kind
of
corrective
actions
it
may
be.
Our
best
route
is
oh
I
see:
we've
got
a
bunch
of
people
here,
so
let's
let
them
talk
just
more
intensive
policing
and
community
work
and
and
pressure
on
the
landlord
to
do
right.
So
I
know
you've
already
been
down
that
path,
but
okay,
we've
got.
We've
got
the
mayor,
pro-tem.
B
R
That
was
the
Hubbard
house.
I
was
when
senator
Harvison
helped
us.
He
found
that
law
and
the
state
law.
There
is
a
law
that
authorizes,
but
there
has
to
be
at
least
three
convictions
in
the
house.
In
order
to
do
it
once
there's
three
convictions
in
the
house:
the
state,
not
the
local
government,
the
state
takes
over
the
property
and
once
they
do,
they
can
either
give
it
back
to
the
neighborhood
or
they
give
it
to
the
city
or
whatever,
and
it
was
the
hover
house
and
it
was
the
incident
that
the
Mayor
was
saying.
R
That's
what
I
was
trying
to
reach
out
to
Gary
to
tell
him
hey.
There
is
a
law
that
you
can
try
and
with
these
offenses
like
this
I
guess
and
him
being
attorney
in
Suffolk,
he
can
look
at
it
better
than
I
can,
but
it
just
has
to
have
at
least
three
convictions,
and
if
three
conventions
are
done
on
that
property,
the
state
can
take
it
away.
When
it
was
taken
away.
It
was
the
sting
operation.
It's
not
going
to
happen
overnight
when
we
did
take
it
I.
R
I've
seen
it
I
was
there
when
it
was
done,
but
the
thing
is
it
takes
time
and
it
has
to
be
some
convictions
and
people
have
to
be
willing
to
stand
up,
and
it
seems
that
you're
willing
to
because
you're
fighting
for
your
community
and
I
applaud
you
for
that,
because
not
everyone
does,
but
I
can
assure
you.
You'll
just
have
to
go
back
and
constant.
Gert
can
see.
If
there's
been
any
of
those
on
there
there
is.
R
L
Like
to
commend
you,
ladies
for
having
the
courage
to
stand
up
to
that
type
of
abuse
and
threats,
and
for
your
neighborhood
and
ma'am
I
can
only
imagine
just
how
difficult
it
is
to
have
someone
subtly
a
threat.
Even
a
subtle
threat
is
worse
on
and
I'm
glad
Council
Goodell.
We
are
finding
a
way
because
I'm
in
complete
support,
no
one
in
this
city
should
have
to
undergo
what
you're
going
to
there's
going
to
be.
L
Another
situation
coming
up
pretty
soon
next,
but
I
want
to
commend
you
for
sticking
together,
because
that's
really
an
essence
that
that's
really
what
it
takes
to
stand
up
to
these
bullies
to
these
individuals
who
are
trying
to
take
over
your
neighborhood.
They
don't
have
the
right
to
do
that.
You
have
every
right
to
stand
up
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
of
the
discussion
that
you
have.
Okay,
your
councilors
back
in
150
percent,
also
I.
Think
I
can
speak
for
the
everybody
on
the
council
and
the
mayor
that
you
have
our
support
to
do.
L
Q
Attorney
as
it
relates
to
disorderly
conduct,
ocg
a
sixteen
eleven
thirty
nine
do.
We
already
have
an
ordinance,
that's
on
the
books
that
is
financially
punitive
or
that
recognizes
I.
Guess
it
recognized
through
the
police
department
they
determine
if
it's
a
misdemeanor
I
guess
it
would
be
a
misdemeanor
right.
Well.
H
H
H
H
H
Q
O
O
You
know
that
if
we,
if
we
drive
these
folks
out,
that's
okay
we'll
deal
with
them
wherever
they
go
but
and
I
don't
know.
Typically,
these
kinds
of
things
the
landlord
may
own
more
than
one
house
in
this
neighborhood,
and
if
they
do,
we
need
to
be
on
top
of
all
of
that,
so
hang
in
there
we're
gonna
do
whatever
we
can
to
make
it
better.
Thank
you.
F
These,
ladies,
are
not
backing
down
from
nothing.
I
spoke
to
mr.
Pitts
for
over
an
hour
on
the
phone
last
night.
She
said
they
didn't
mess
with
the
wrong
old.
Lady
I
am
not
backing
down
they're
the
last
line
of
defense,
because
if
they
fall,
the
neighborhood
goes,
you
know,
and
so
mean
and
misfits
are
like
uh-huh
a
mess
with
a
wrong
old.
Ladies,
so
thank
you,
sir
excellent.
B
X
H
X
Know
we
amended
the
ordinance,
at
least
as
forest
codes
enforcement
went
for
other
items
where
we
could
go
against
either
the
tenant
or
the
landlord
cuz.
We
have
a
lot
of
Assam
tea
landlords
and
when
my
thought
is
I
mean
captain
Kennedy
and
director,
Brown,
yo
or
y'all
could
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
bout,
imagine
most
of
our
criminals
or
renters,
not
owners
of
land.
Would
that
be
right?
X
It
was
like
one
violation,
you're
out
and
you're
on
the
street,
and
they
evict
you
if
you
have
any
type
of
criminal
activity
and
that's
not
happening
in
some
of
these
neighborhoods
and
if
there's
a
way,
we
can
do
that
and
enforce
it
against
the
land
landlord.
We
could
do
I
think
we
could
see
dramatic
reductions
in
crime.
If
we
make
it
where
you
cannot
afford
to
do
business
here,
if
you're
a
landlord
and
you
have
criminals
living
in
your
neighborhood
I.
H
Think
what
you
go
right
into
is
trying
to
impede
the
criminal
intent
and
go
from
the
tenant
to
the
landlord
and
Pete
that
intent,
which
is
very
hard
to
do.
The
better
route
is
the
criminal
Haven
statute
and
taking
of
the
property
and
actual
taking.
If
you
can
get
the
conviction
for
these,
certain
offenses
and
the
police
department
is
familiar
with
that
procedure.
Well,.
R
I
have
a
question
for
you.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
legal
way
where
a
letter
could
be
sent
to
the
owner,
letting
them
know
of
these
violations
purring
on
his
property
and
that
after
so
many
conventions,
he
can
lose
his
property?
Because
I
know
in
the
hover
house?
You
know
we
just
took
the
property
from
the
owner,
I'm,
not
sure
if
they
were
renting
it
or
they
were
the
owners,
but
I
know
they.
The
owners
lost
the
property.
R
So,
based
on
what
he's
saying,
I'm
thinking
that
if
we
gave
notification
to
the
owner
letting
them
know
these
things
are
occurring
on
your
property,
it
is
going
to
go
public,
it's
public
record.
Anybody
can
look
up
who
you
are
under
the
state
statute.
After
so
many
offenses,
we
can
take
your
property
away,
I,
don't
know
if
we
could
legally
do
that.
B
B
R
B
W
I,
just
I
just
wanted
to
address
what
mr.
Walker
said
that
I
just
had
a
meeting
last
week
about
the
same
issue
at
another
air,
and
that
is
a
consistent
problem
where
landlords
are
renting
these
houses
out
and
we're
hitting
two
and
three
search
warrants
at
a
time
at
multiple
houses
at
the
same
house
in
multiple
load
areas.
So
it
would
be
a
if
we
come
to
a
resolution.
It
would
probably
be
a
resolution
for
numerous
homes
and
in
numerous
areas
in
cities.
So
just
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
D
B
E
B
You
guys
just
you
call
the
folks
who
are
the
professionals
know
how
to
do
it.
You
take
and
risk
enough,
so
we
thank
you
very
much
and,
and
it
and
captain
thank
you
for
being
here.
Seth.
Thank
you
being
here
in
captain.
You
make
obviously
want
to
make
sure
they're
being
watched
in
the
short
term,
particularly
since
they've
come
forward
in
this
public
way.
Okay,
all
right!
B
B
B
Okay,
okay
I
know
we
have
several
people
so
ma'am
if
you'd
like
to
come
forward
and
state
your
name,
and
he
was
representative
of
a
community
issue
and
so
as
long
as
you're
a
representative,
the
same
issue
in
same
community
organization,
if
you
would
just
state
your
name
and
address
please
and
in
same
circumstance,
I'll
put
five
minutes
on
free,
you
all
and
then
we'll
see
how
it
goes
from
there.
Okay,
thank
you.
My.
AB
Name
is
LaDonna
Smith
I
live
at
41:19,
Althea
drive
it's
in
the
Edgewood
area
of
Columbus
I'm
here
about
a
halfway
house.
Boys,
youth
house
not
really
know
what
to
call
it.
It
is
at
2608,
juniper,
Drive
or
juniper
Avenue,
which
is
I'd,
say
within
a
thousand
feet
in
my
house
and
I'm
here
representing
my
neighbors,
my
family
friends,
everybody
in
this
neighborhood.
As
far
as
we
can
tell
this
house
was
opened
and
established
in
March,
and
since
then
there
has
been
numerous
911
calls
police
involvement
and
such
as
that.
AB
Now
then
it
has
come
down
to
a
commercial
breaking
and
entering
twice
a
vehicle
stolen,
and
that
is
from
these
boys
that
are
being
transported
from
other
places
in
Georgia
Savannah,
Atlanta
Albany.
They
are
not
from
here
and
to
my
understanding
there
is
around
165
275
of
these
houses
in
Muskogee
County
when
the
boys
are
brought
in
they're
brought
in
and
the
houses
are
slid
into
the
neighborhood
they're
there
quietly
put
in
there's
no
notification,
there's
no
anything.
AB
You
know:
oh
I'm,
bad
I'm,
tough
I'm,
whatever
one
of
these
young
men
I
noticed,
had
an
ankle
bracelet
walking
around
my
neighborhood
JA
detention,
quick,
the
next
time,
I
seen
him.
He
was
speaking
with
a
14
year
old
girl,
while
her
grandma
was
not
there
that
she
had
got
off
the
bus.
He
was
speaking
with
her
I
would
immediately
when
her
grandmother
got
home
from
work
straight
down
there
and
informed
her
of
this
house.
AB
The
way
I
was
informed
of
this
house
was
the
man
across
the
street,
who
has
two
young
daughters
like
young,
adult
daughters,
whooping
hollering,
whatever
from
this
house
the
next
time
I
seen
him.
He
was
sitting
in
front
of
my
house
smoking
marijuana
with
another
gentleman
that
hadn't
met
him
there.
They
did
not
walk
up
together
and
that
gentleman
was
not
from
that
house.
So
they
had
already
made
contact.
I
went
straight
to
the
house.
Banged
on
the
door
took
a
a
good
amount
of
time.
AB
I
mean
I
was
banging
I'm,
not
somebody
that
puts
off
trouble
I'll,
but
it
right
in
the
head,
so
I
went
down
there
and
I
was
banging
on
the
door.
A
lady
comes
up,
eaten
dinner,
a
biscuit
or
whatever
I
told
her
that
one
of
her
residents
was
in
front
of
my
house,
smoking
marijuana
and
when
he
knew
I
seen
him,
it
didn't
faze
him
at
all.
AB
When
the
other
tenant
I
guess
you
say
of
the
house,
heard
what
I
was
saying
he's
out
and
knocked
me
down
running
down
the
street
to
inform
the
boy
with
the
ankle
bracelet
on
that
I
was
down
there.
She
informed
me
okay
and
shut
the
door
I
called
9-1-1.
They
came
spoke
to
me
and
then
went
down
to
the
house.
I
never
heard
anything
else
about
it.
We
have
watched
the
boys
walk
around
the
neighborhood,
get
on
the
school
bus.
There's
been
hump
teams.
9-1-1
pops
has
all
the
information.
AB
AB
One
of
them
supposedly
told
all
the
stories
about
what
was
going
on,
but
what
concerns
me
is
there's
a
lot
of
these
houses
in
the
community,
and
this
house
in
my
community
is
stopping
our
kids
from
playing
in
the
front
yard
they're
stopping
our
older
residents
from
walking
around
the
street,
because
they're
outside
the
street
that
this
house
is
on
on
whatever
day
their
family
day
is,
is
completely
shut
down.
Cars
parked
people
outside
yelling
screaming
the
resident
that
lives
to
the
right
hand.
Side
is
moving
out,
she's
been
there
for
six
years.
AB
This
is
interfering
with
her
work.
She
works
at
home.
She
has
a
small
child,
there's
so
much
noise
coming
from
that
house
during
the
night
that
her
husband
cannot
continue
his
job.
The
people
to
the
other
side,
when
they're
outside
there's
rocks,
throw
it
over
the
fence.
She
is
cursed
at
they
say
that
their
smell
of
marijuana
coming
from
the
backyard
a
window
has
been
broken
out
of
a
car
in
there
and.
D
AB
Don't
I
don't
think
it's
right,
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
be
able
to
have
to
put
up
with
this
I've
been
in
this
neighborhood
since
1996
I
lived
one
block
over
when
I
was
in
Edgewood
Elementary
in
fourth
grade
this
I
mean
our
neighborhood
is
good
and
if
probably,
if
you
looked
at
the
9-1-1
calls
our
whole
neighborhood
does
not
put
out
this.
Many
9-1-1
calls
until
this
house
came
in
and
it's
coming
because
of
this
house.
These
houses
are
nonprofit,
they
do
not
pay
property
tax
and
they
receive
15.
AB
The
minimum
minimum
they
receive
from
these
houses
is
$1,500
a
person,
that's
in
the
house.
If
they
keep
it
under
a
certain
amount
of
people
in
the
house,
they
don't
have
to
notify
anybody
just
slide
it
right
in
and
they're
picking
neighborhoods
that
are
kind
of
quiet
to
where
they
don't
really
observe.
What's
going
on
until
the
problem
starts,
but
I
don't
think
it's
fair
that
Muscogee
County
should
have
to
foot
the
bill
for
this
for
one
because
they're
not
paying
property
tax,
but
yet
the
cops
are
coming.
AB
The
sheriff's
are
coming,
the
marshals
are
coming
we're
paying
for
this
and
then
the
people
in
the
house.
They
don't
care
about
these
boys,
it's
just
a
job
they
get
paid.
So
how
can
you
have
a
nonprofit
organization
with
no
no
uniformity,
no
programs
for
a
a
any
kind
of
abuse.
Anything
like
that
they're
just
put
there
and
it's
I
mean
I,
don't
understand
it
and.
AC
My
name
is
Karen
Ayres
and
I
live
at
4131.
Spiraea
Drive
I
live
a
couple
of
houses
down
from
Dana,
and
these
boys,
young
men
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
the
ages
are,
that
they
are
in
the
house.
They
they
are
out
on
the
street
all
hours
of
the
night
the
morning
they
do
get
alcohol.
We
don't
know
how.
AC
Numerous
numerous
police
calls
for
people
fighting
there
amongst
themselves
in
this
place.
So
I,
don't
it's
just
it's
a
shame,
and
then,
when
these
young
men
approach
these
young
children's
children
in
our
neighborhood
and
then
they
also
I
just
did
find
this
out
the
other
day
that
these
boys
are
also
riding
on
the
school
bus.
AB
H
B
AD
I
have
numerous
rental
properties
there
and
all
the
families
have
children.
I
have
no
complaints
from
them,
but
as
a
real
estate,
man
real
estate
broker
we're
responsible
for
things
like
that,
and
we
have
to
notify
people
in
that
neighborhood
and
if
we
don't-
and
we
do
it
in
writing
or
don't
do
it
in
writing
to
cover
our
heinie.
AD
You
know
it's
a
problem
for
me,
ensure
we
sure
don't
want
any
problem
from
them
and
then,
when
a
property
comes
vacant,
you
have
to
tell
them
then,
and
it
might
be
to
the
point
where
they
say
what
we
don't
want
to
live
here.
They'll
say:
where
is
that
house
I'll
have
to
show
them
now
this
little
lady,
it
was
had
more
items
and
because
I
just
got
in
into
this
last
night-
and
you
can
blame
me
here
for
pop
barns
and
I
asked
if
we
wanted
to
speak,
but.
AD
It's
a
concern
and
and
like
I
say:
I
have
rental
properties,
there
I
don't
live
there,
but
I
have
a
responsible
to
them.
Tenants
and
my
responsibility
is,
you
know
letting
them
know
and
they
might
want
to
move
and
I
just
learned
about
it,
but
I've
driven
down
that
street
and
those
boys
play
basketball
in
that
street.
And
you
come
down
that
street.
They
act
like
it's
their
own
turf
and
they
give
you
real
nasty,
looks
that
you
have
to
go
through
there
and
and
it
bothers
there.
AD
B
AE
A
tea
party
I
live
it,
not
26:12,
japonica
up
until
this
house
opened,
we
had
no
problem
with
letting
our
kids
go
out,
walk
around
the
neighborhood
ever
since
this
house
has
open
we're,
really
scared
to
let
him
go
out,
because
these
kids
are
seen
walking
around
smoking.
Marijuana
drinking
beer
and
I
know
for
a
fact.
They
have
followed
my
daughter
up
from
our
house
to
the
local
Family
Dollar
and
then
followed
her
back
and
she's
12.
B
Wow
all
right,
thank
you
so
much.
This
is
so
alarming
and
we
have
been
doing
some
work.
We
got
a
whole
bunch
of
folks.
I
know
pops
wants
to
talk
a
bit
and
then
I
want
to
hear
from
our
city
attorney
to
sort
of
explain
what
this
is
is
how
these
houses
even
get
licensed,
what
we
can
do
locally
because
we're
like
a
lot.
B
L
We
had
a
neighborhood
meeting
about
20
people
showed
up,
but
this
area
in
my
district
is
there's
never
been
a
call,
hardly
a
call.
It's
very
peaceful,
all
the
neighbors
get
along
lawns
are
cut,
but
about
eight
months
ago,
Donna
gave
me
a
call-
and
she
told
me
that
about
this
house
here
and
the
most
disturbing
thing
about
it
is
affected.
Two
young
men
were
leaving
out
of
the
house
containment
house
going
with
ankle
bracelets
going
to
someone
else
has
stepped
in
smoking
marijuana.
L
Now
25
from
the
6th
of
June
to
October,
125
9-1-1
calls
and
I'm
gonna
pass
this
around
to
the
other
counselors
so
that
they
can
see.
This
is
just
pickpocket,
the
disposition,
thank
you
and-
and
this
right
here
fortunately
I'd
like
to
give
a
compliment
to
miss
Yvonne
ivy,
because
sometimes
she's
taking
a
deep
breath,
but
every
time
mr.
city
manager,
when
I
call
her.
She
always
does
her
research.
L
There
has
to
be
something
something
has
to
be
done
to
bring
some
type
of
relief
to
a
neighborhood
that
is
peaceful,
but
you
have
this
house
that
opened
up.
It
has
completely
disrupted,
not
just
the
street
that
the
house
is
on,
but
that
entire
community
there
are
about
five
or
six
streets.
I
went
there
the
other
day
and
I
saw
the
the
basketball
goalie
when
they
decide
to
go
out
there
and
play
they
shut
the
street
down.
L
L
This
house
has
changed
it,
and
so
I
did
confer
with
Yvonne,
because
there
has
to
be
some
type
of
remedy
to
give
these
good
citizens
some
type
of
redress
and
as
always,
she
always
comes
through
and-
and
there
is
and
I
mentioned
at
the
meeting
last
night
that
what
she
said,
but
I've
got
it
written
down.
It
went
away
on
one
of
the
copies
yeah
we
can
of
you.
L
Each
of
yous
citizens
can
complain
to
the
state
and
do
a
complaint
with
and
there's
enough
facts
that
you
have
here
in
order
to
support
it
as
the
city
manager,
as
the
city
attorney
has
said,
we're
somewhat
constrained
because
it
was
taken
out
of
my
hands,
as
I
explained
to
you
last
night
by
the
state.
But
there
is
a
process
that
you
and
I
would
like
for
you
Vaughn
to
come
over
and
explain
about
the
process.
AD
L
Your
vans
going
to
speak
to
this
and
she
has
a
solution
that
each
of
you
citizens
can,
and
you
want
a
sudden.
This
I
would
like
for
this
city
to
follow
through
on
a
complaint
in
the
same
process
Yvonne.
Could
you
explain?
Thank
you
so
much
your
bond
I
could
just
hug
you
for
all
the
research
that
you've
done
for
this
year.
Thank.
AF
You
Council
Barnes,
the
Georgia
Department
of
Community
Health.
They
regulate
personal
care
homes,
group
homes,
anything
that
requires
residential,
assisted
living.
The
Georgia
Department
Community
Health
regulates
those
types
of
business
establishments,
regardless
of
is
for
a
profit
or
nonprofit,
and
you
can
large
logging
your
complaint.
They
have
a
website
and
I
forwarded.
AF
That
link
and
all
the
the
complaining
party
has
to
do
is
log
in
to
that
website,
and
they
can
remain
anonymous
if
they
want
to
just
indicate
the
name
of
the
facility,
the
address,
etc,
and
that
many
number
of
complaints
coming
into
the
Georgia
Department
of
Community
Health.
They
should
be
able
to
address
those
issues,
especially
if
that
the
owner
of
that
business
section
is
receiving
any
type
of
state
subsidies,
for
they
are
for
the
residents
that
are
staying
there
and.
L
To
add
on
top
of
this
is
the
fact
that
not
only
have
are
they
terrorizing
that
community
that
whole
area
there,
but
they
burglarized
cherries,
florist
or
making
road
not
once
but
twice,
and
so
you
can
see
that
these
individuals
are
not
being
properly
supervised,
and
so
the
responsibility
falls
on
that
home,
and
so
there
I've
gotten
some
additional
mr.
city
attorney.
Could
you
speak
to
the
additional
things
that
can
be
done
as
well
as
far
as
someone's
taken
legal
action?
Well,.
H
H
They've
also
got
a
complaint
phone
number
I'll,
read
it
out:
1-800,
eight,
seven,
eight,
six,
four
four
two,
and
thus
the
Georgia
Department
of
Community
Health,
one
eight
hundred,
eight,
seven,
eight
six,
four
four:
two:
the
state
that
state
licenses
these
groups
and
if
they
have
complaints
they'll,
send
an
investigator
down
here
to
find
out
what's
going
on,
but
more
important
than
that.
If
any
citizen
or
neighbor
sees
criminal
activity,
whether
it's
drug
use,
vandalizing
destroying
property
public
intoxication
whatever
you
need
to
immediately
call
9-1-1.
H
Like
captain
kennedy
said
earlier,
you
know
it's
a
thing
that
they
will
jump
on
immediately
if
they
know
about
it,
but
you've.
If
there's
criminal
activity
going
on,
you
need
to
call
the
police,
and
that
leads
into
my
third
point.
There
is
a
local
license.
Sometimes
if
the
county
knows
about
these
places,
they've
received
some
sort
of
a
local
license
that
lets
them
operate
in
a
community.
H
Now
a
local
license
in
columbus
can
be
revoked
by
this
council
if
the
chief
of
police
makes
a
recommendation
to
revoke,
but
it's
got
to
be
based
on
two
or
more
convictions
of
the
owner
or
the
manager
or
an
agent
of
that
facility
or
home.
Now.
If
they
get
these
two
to
plus
convictions
and
a
12-month
period,
the
chief
can
recommend
revocation
of
the
local
license.
Now,
that's
just
local.
It's
not
state!
H
You
still
got
a
complain
to
the
state
officials
to
look
into
revoke
them
at
the
state
level,
but
we
do
have
that
on
the
books
here
in
an
ordinance
form.
If
you
can
get
these
convictions
of
the
owner
or
the
agent
two
or
more,
you
can
take
them
to
recorders
court
get
convictions,
then
the
chief
can
recommend
a
revocation
they'll
have
a
hearing
right
here
in
front
of
the
council,
and
this
body
can
revoke
the
local
license,
so
so
that
many
parts
that
interplay
here
you
got
the
state
level
or
the
local
level.
AB
B
No,
this
that
no
no
one's
above
the
law,
obviously,
but
everybody
is
entitled
to
the
process
right
and
and
I
know
earlier.
You
said
something
about
law
enforcement
or
police
officers
and
there
is
a
distinction
between
the
marshal,
the
sheriff
and
the
police
department.
So
when
you
dial
nine-one-one
the
only
people
that
are
responding,
Police,
Department
and
so
the
individual
you
named
is
in
another
branch.
So
don't
don't
confuse
the
two
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
that's
a
different
branch,
and
so
let's
work
the
process
like
we
would
with
anybody.
B
L
But,
yes,
we
need
to
take
action
by
appealing
to
the
state
and
we
also
need
to
get
with
the
Chief
of
Police
on
what
the
City
Attorney
just
got
finished,
saying
so
primarily
I
wanted
to
let
this
council
and
our
viewing
audience
know
what
is
going
on
because
thereof,
as
you
saw
with
the
previous.
There
are
other
areas
that
are
having
problems
as
well
and
we're
not
impotent
and,
and
the
council
here
backs
you,
because
they
want
you
to
have
the
quality
of
life
that
you
were
having
prior
to
the
house
coming
to
the
neighborhood.
L
L
So
we
can
get
something
going
definitive
and
concretely
so
that
your
neighborhoods
and
the
neighborhood
in
that
Edgewood
area
can
go
back
to
normalcy
and
I
want
to
commend
you
and,
and
each
of
you
here
for
having
their
intestinal
fortitude
and
their
courage
not
to
let
individuals
come
in
and
damage
the
integrity
of
your
neighborhood,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
and
so
I'll
get
together
with
you
and
Donna.
Give
me
up
give
me
a
call.
Let
me
know
what
would
be
a
good
time,
I'll
get
with
the
city
attorney
and
planning
it
on.
AD
AD
L
That
young
lady
right
there,
by
the
way
I,
won't
tell
you
her
age,
but
what
it's
gotten
so
bad?
She
walked
the
neighborhood
every
day,
she's
afraid
to
even
walk
cause,
he's
kids,
they
walk
the
streets
and
the
young
girls
are
petrified.
They
don't
walk
the
streets
anymore,
walking
their
dogs,
that's
something
like
that,
should
not
even
happen
anymore
and.
B
You
know
you've
heard
a
lot
of
good
information,
but
this
business
about
smoking
marijuana
outside
remember
when
I
was
saying
earlier
to
the
ladies,
who
were
here
before
that
their
calls
don't
involve
drugs,
prostitution
and
violence.
There
you
go,
you
got
drugs,
you
see,
so.
Noise
ordinance
is
not
drugs
and
various
other
things
that
they
had
we're,
not
drugs.
You
start
calling
about
drugs.
We
got
another
situation,
okay,
so,
but
we
need
police
reports,
police
reports.
AB
B
K
D
Q
I
think
everybody
knows
I
not
long
ago,
I
talked
lengthily
and
passionately
on
the
subject,
but
I
can
tell
you
this.
We've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
I'm
very
thankful
that
the
city
manager
gave
us
a
solution
and
trying
to
understand
what
exactly
we're
dealing
with
and
I
think
it's
been
eye-opening
to
say
the
least.
What
you
see
is,
you
know,
I
know
how
many
times
I
talked
about
supervision
and
oversight.
Q
I
said
it
many
times,
and
you
know
it's
starting
to
become
an
issue
where
a
few
or
giving
a
bad
name
to
many
and
those
few
are
becoming
increasingly.
But
madam
mayor,
what
we
you
know.
This
is
something
that
we
as
a
collective
body,
need
to
understand
and
we
need
to
address
and
I
know
we're
not
going
to
do
it
here
today.
Q
But
these
things
that
we're
working
on
I'm
glad
director
Jones
is
involved,
but
you've
got
a
situation
where
Muscogee
County
is
number
one
in
the
state
and
many
more
applications
and
people
in
the
process
of
lining
up
and
to
do
this
kind
of
stuff
in
Muskogee,
countywide
I
asked
myself.
Why,
and
what
really
has
been
eye-opening
to
me
is
what
we're
talking
about,
and
this
is
where
I
think
we
really
need
to
understand.
This
is
the
amount
of
resources
that's
being
allocated
to
this
matter.
Q
Q
You
you've
got
a
tremendous
amount
of
resources,
that's
being
allocated
to
this
and
things
that
are
happening
out
there,
that
that
were
totally
unaware
of
is
just
oblivious
to
so
we
did
do
something
as
far
as
reaching
out
to
and
we're
reaching
out
to
our
elected
officials
to
try
to
help
them
to
get
some
lines
of
communication
open
ankles.
That
seems
to
be
one
of
the
problems
is
nobody
knows
what
is
happening,
but
these
matters
are
are
greater
than
than
what's
being
perceived.
Q
And
what's
being
perceived
and
being
presented
before,
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understands
that
and
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
address
it
collectively
and
deal
with
it,
because
it
is
it's
it's
a
problem.
It's
a
problem
and
I
wasn't
even
I'm
just
telling
I
wasn't
even
aware
of
it
until
we've
started
looking
into
this.
So
hopefully
we
can
find
a
way
to
to
deal
with
this
matter
because
it
doesn't
go
away.
B
B
Next,
we
have
on
our
public
agenda.
Mr.
John
Harrison
did
mr.
Harrison
last
the
long
haul-
well,
maybe
poor
mr.
Harrison
I'm
sure
I
want
to
apologize
to
him
for
the
fact
that
we've
gone
on
this
evening,
but
obviously
it's
been
very
important
issues.
So
hopefully
he'll
come
on
back
and
and
we'll
be
able
to
hear
his
concerns
with
that.
Then
we'll
move
into
the
city
manager's
agenda.
M
Mayor,
we
have
one
item.
We
would
like
to
add
to
the
legislative
agenda.
As
you
know,
Chief
Rick
bullring
came
to
the
home
town
connection
and
he
made
the
point
or
share
his
concern
that
the
police
department
Sheriff
are
both
having
to
deal
with,
and
so
we
are
requesting
the
legislative
delegation
to
a
man,
the
Georgia
law,
so
as
to
relieve
counties,
police
chiefs
and
sheriffs
from
Barren
transportation
cost
and
related
expenses
when
juveniles
are
ordered
to
be
transported
to
or
from
a
facility
outside
the
jurisdiction
of
the
juvenile
court.
Hearing
such
a
matter.
B
M
B
M
M
After
conducting
research,
we
discovered
their
properties
were
quitclaim
to
the
city
without
the
city's
knowledge
or
consent,
and
we've
had
our
lawyer
look
at
it
and
has
rendered
a
legal
opinion
to
the
matter
and
determined.
If
the
city
does
not
wish
to
keep
the
property,
we
would
need
to
renounce
the
quick
claim.
M
Reconveyed
the
property
back
to
the
original
owner
and
the
city
does
not
have
a
need
for
this
property
and
would
like
Council's
approval
to
do
exactly
what
has
been
provided
by
a
lawyer
and
with
the
city
owning
the
properties.
We
can
tell
you
that
it
increases
liability,
our
maintenance
calls
and
takes
additional
properties
off
the
tax
roll
and
we
do
not
need
it,
and
so
we're
asking
your
approval
to
a.
B
M
Got
next
I've
got
property
acquisition,
22
12,
1st
Avenue,
asking
a
fool
to
approaches
this
property
at
fifteen
thousand
dollars
to
include
closing
cost
in
an
effort
to
assemble
laying
in
the
city
Village
redevelopment
area,
the
property
will
be
purchased,
utilizing
CDBG
funds
was
recently
appraised
at
fifteen
thousand.
The
owner
has
agreed
to
sell
the
property
to
the
city
for
fair
market
value,
closing
costs,
and
so
that
total
purchase
15,000
and
again
it
will
allow
us
to
assemble
parcels,
a
property
in
the
city
village.
For
future
redevelopment.
We
asking
your
approval
all.
M
B
M
B
M
R
B
We've
got
a
motion
for
approval
of
a
through
E
and
G
and
a
second
is
there
any
discussion
on
any
one
of
these
items,
a

and
then

AG
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
council,
we
want
to
talk
to
you
briefly
here
tonight
about
what
small
cells
are
and
what
they
are,
what
the
impact
could
be
and
will
be
on
Columbus
over
the
next
several
months
and
years.
If
we
go
along,
we
want
to
talk
about
giving
an
idea
what
really,
what
small
cells
really
are,
what
cell
towers
versus
small
cells,
whatever?
What
that
really
means
to
us
from
that
set-asides
idea
about
small
cell
regulation
and
then
also
show
you
the
existing
smart
cell
sites
we
have
in
the
community
as
a
whole.
AG
Just
so
you
understand
now,
small
cells
are
really
consist
of
small
radio
equipment.
That's
probably,
but
really
boils
down
to
they're
they're,
not
the
height
you'll,
see
of
a
regular
cell
tower,
for
instance,
from
that
these
things
can
be
placed
on
street
lights,
sides
of
buildings
or
poles
in
Columbus.
They
probably
will
not
be
allowed
on
the
street
light
because
they
are
owned
by
Georgia
power
and
georgia.
Power
does
not
allowing
co-existing
of
equipment
on
those
common
local
kind
of
structures.
They
can
transmit
data,
which
is
what
they're
really
they're
are
designed
to
do.
AG
Using
mid
and
high
speed
band
spectrums
throughout
the
community
that
cannot
really
travel
far.
These
are
or
you're
gonna
find
out.
These
are
small
cells
that
are
there
to
transmit
data.
They
do
have
phone
call,
but
their
primary
function
is
transmit
data
and
it's
over
a
short
range,
whereas
particularly
they
don't
have
to
have
enough
coverage
from
the
cell
tower
itself,
where
they
can't
can't
handle
that
kind
of
volume.
This
is
largely.
AG
Do
you
and
I
are
largely
the
culprits
on
this,
because
if
you
have
the
cell
phone
and
you
require
the
use
of
data
or
any
type
of
information,
we're
now
draining
really
some
of
these
cell
tower
sites
and
they
can't
keep
up
with
the
demand
you
hear
it.
You're
gonna
hear
it.
You're
gonna
hear
a
lot
more
about
and
dealing
with.
This
just
call
thing
called
5g
technology,
which
is
mirrored
the
fifth
generation
which
is
actually
speaking
of
the
data
and
getting
the
data
to
to
more
folks.
AG
As
we
go
along,
it
does
promise
greater
speeds
response
times
connectivity.
This
is
particularly
important
to
allow
folks,
if
you're
downloading,
say
a
video
or
something
to
that
effect.
You
want
to
watch
it
on
your
phone
it'll
speed
that
process
up
I,
suppose
no
matter
nation-wide,
not
Columbus.
Now
but
nationwide
there
were
13,000
small
cells
deployed
in
2017
by
2026.
They
are
estimating
they'll,
be
over
800,000
of
these
small
cells
throughout
the
country.
They
are
there
for
a
purpose
and
we
won't
explain
it
to
you.
Let
me
show
you
this
gives
you
an
idea.
AG
Tom
about
cell
towers
versus
these
small
cells
on
the
left-hand
side
of
this
slide
is
a
regular
cell
tower.
For
the
most
part
we
talks
about
here.
It's
good
for
voice
data
students
can
travel
can
can
degrade
really
over
over
a
certain
amount
of
time
or
distance
itself.
The
small
cells
are
good
for
voice
and
data,
but
they're
there
they're
compressed.
They
can
only
go
so
far
out
in
terms
of
what
they
signal
they
send
for
the
area,
and
you
can
see
that
by
the
rating
system.
This
slide
gives
in
terms
of
voice
versus
data.
AG
The
small
cells
can
do
both,
but
again
they
are
restricted
in
terms
of
how
far
they
can
actually
send
that
signal
out.
Towers
are
really
best
for
the
for
low
density
populations,
that's
kind
of
a
misnomer
and
in
some
regard,
because
what
we
see
in
Columbus
are
the
cell
towers
but
they're
covering
a
wider
area,
a
broader
area,
the
the
smaller
cell
will
be
more
compressed,
as
I
said,
and
they'll
serve
a
primary
the
area
they're
in
and
not
in
this,
who
are
wise,
wise
scheme
of
things.
AG
From
from
that,
this
is
a
if
they
are
an
argument.
You're
gonna
hear
and
dealing
from
the
state
from
the
state
legislature
in
terms
of
some
of
the
action
they've
got
going
on
now
that
the
small
cells
for
the
most
part
should
be
in
the
rural
areas.
That's
not
that's.
That's
reverse
thinking
here
really
because
these
small
cells
are
really
designed
just
to
hear
hold
on
to
those
smaller
areas,
not
really
designed
for
the
rural
areas
themself.
AG
The
FCC
was
required
to
enforce
it
require
they
preserve
the
the
fact
that,
where
we
could
actually
locate
some
of
these
cell
towers
through
our
zoning
process-
and
we
took
a
that
took
that
on
in
1999
in
terms
of
putting
that
orange
together
make
sure
we
could
control.
It
requires
said
that
it
has
to
be
a
reasonable
period
of
time
in
terms
of
responding
back
to
an
applicant
knock
now
that
that
timeframe
is
90
days,
at
least
it
wasn't
when
the
Act
was
passed
in
1996
and
it's.
This
is
what
they
call
the
shot
clock.
AG
We
have
90
days
basically
to
respond
to
an
applicant
but
time
they
make
an
application
to
us
whether
it
goes
to
inspection
code
or
engineering
or
even
from
the
clang
Department.
We
have
to
have
that
response
back
in
a
90
day.
Time
frame.
We
have
to
have
some
substantial
evidence
when
we
make
a
make
a
decision
about
a
cell
tower
now,
particularly
if
you're
going
to
deny
one
it
can't
be
just
because
we
don't
want
it.
We
don't
like
the
color
other
things
like
that.
AG
It
has
to
be
a
substantial
reason
why
we
don't
want
particular
cell
tower
in
a
thick
part
of
the
community,
and
it
also
ensures
that
carriers
are
allowed
to
provide
cell
service
in
the
community.
They
are
considered,
like
any
other
public
utility,
as
a
necessity
for
the
community
to
thrive
and
deal
with,
and
we
understand
that
I
think
we
all
agree.
The
fact
that
cell
service
is
an
important
factor
in
our
lives
now
and
in
life
of
this
community.
AG
From
that
standpoint,
it
limits
our
application
fees.
We
don't
charge
five
hundred
dollars
for
five
sites,
but
it
that's
what
they
love
this.
What
they're
eating
now
says
to
is
this
direct
is
now
says
to
communities
and
$100
for
each
site,
after
that,
it
would
limit
our
ride
away
fees
to
two
hundred
and
seventy
dollars
per
site
per
year,
and
would
also
limit
our
local
control
of
aesthetics
in
dealing
with
these
polls,
including
this
idea
of
minimal
space
yeah.
AG
R
Am
you
know
I
can't
understand
that
and
then
you
know
I
I'm,
just
having
a
hard
time
and
I
think
for
to
get
a
vote
for
me.
Lately,
it's
gonna
kind
of
be
tough
because
you're
putting
our
citizens
and
our
children
at
harm
I
know
it's
a
federal
because
Isaiah
already
told
me
it's
a
federal
law,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
control
we
have,
but
we
got
to
come
up
with
something.
There's
got
to
be
something
that
can
be.
R
We
need
to
educate
our
communities
on
it.
Well
because
the
citizens
I
think
I,
know
my
constituent
things.
I,
don't
care,
you
know
and
I
do
because
I
I
called
Donna
I
think
it
was
late
at
night
early
in
the
morning
on
the
weekend,
I
mean
I
bought
the
picture
here,
the
citizens
and
we
need
to
do
an
educational
piece
on
our
access
channel
to
let
them
know
that
this
is
out
of
our
control.
R
This
is
not
something
that
we're
putting
in
place,
because
I
still
have
a
big
concern
that
someone's
gonna
you
know
nowadays,
people
don't
respect
value
life
and
I'm,
worried
that
somebody's
gonna
have
a
problem
and
pull
those
wires
break
into
them.
Just
for
fun
for
a
drug
initiative.
You
know
I'm,
not
a
drug,
a
gang
initiative
or
something
you
know,
I
just.
D
D
D
R
AG
Let
me
let
me
proceed
home.
You
know
I'll,
try
Buick
in
brief
brief,
but
the
one
thing
you
need
to
care
away
from
this.
This
whole
presentation,
I,
think,
is
this
last
statement
on
this
slide
that
there
is
a
misconception
nationwide
that
cities
are
basically
opposed
to
these
kind
of
operations
coming
into
their
community.
Dealing
with
Sweden
was
with
small
cells
or
cell
towers,
and
nothing
to
be
further
than
the
truth.
AG
I've
already
said
that
to
you
that
we
we
have
to
not
have
to,
we
want
to
be
welcoming
about
the
fact
about
the
service
these
companies
provide
us
because
we
all
depend
upon
them,
but
there
is
that
misconception
on
the
federal
level
anyway,
right
now
that
we
just
don't,
we
use,
don't
want
these
kind
of
operations
in
there
from
the
Georgia
State
Legislature.
You
should
know
that
there
is
title
46
called
public
utilities
and
public
transportation,
which
is
part
of
the
Georgia
code.
AG
Now
that
that
addresses
the
needs
on
right-of-ways
in
right
away,
access
and
things
of
that
nature,
that's
re
in
place,
and
we
are
hearing
to
that
on
a
day
to
day
basis.
However,
this
last
legislative
session,
at
least
two
more
bills,
were
passed
in
or
at
least
introduced.
They
were
not
passed.
Excuse
me,
one
says
Senate
bill
426
entitled
broadband
infrastructure
leads
to
development
Act.
AG
This
was
designed
at
least
given
the
impression
that
the
idea
would
provide,
sell
your
service
to
the
rural
areas
of
the
state
which
I'm
wholeheartedly
in
support
of
I,
think
they
need
to
have
that
kind
of
issue.
But
the
idea
also
was,
though,
this
this
act,
this
bill,
it
passed.
What
it
told
us
pretty
much
it.
We
don't
have
any
control
of
our
right
away
inside
the
City
of
Columbus.
That's
pretty
much.
We
need
to
stay
away
from
it
in
terms
of
limiting
that.
AG
You
know
why,
where
we
can
prohibit
them
or
how
we
can
regulate
them,
how
we
can
what
we
can
charge
for
the
ride
away,
cost
itself.
Those
are
all
important
issues
to
us.
This
bill
passed.
Why
my
understanding
it
actually
passed
the
House
and
was
amended
to
address
more
thee
of
the
emcs
needs
in
terms
of
deal
with
cellular
service,
but
you
didn't
make
it
to
the
sentence
because
it
was
the
last
day
the
last
hour
last
day
and
so
forth.
It
didn't
cross
back
over
to
the
house
for
approval.
AG
It's
out
there
still
for
consideration,
I'm
sure
we'll
come
back
at
this
next
session
and
then
this
House
bill
887
is
Georgia.
Communication
Service
Act
was
another
one
that
was
ideal
to
limit
the
and
deny
our
ability
to
deny
knew
full
applications.
Allow
for
120
permits
at
a
time
grant
approval
for
our
application
after
75
days
and
then
cap,
the
rental
rate
on
right
away
as
well.
It
didn't
make
it
out
yet,
but
it's
still
it's
still
there
more
consideration
this
next
go-around.
AG
Those
are
important
things
because
again
we
lose
control
of
what
we're
trying
to
deal
with
on
our
right
ways,
and
so
I've
said
before,
and
I'll
say
it
again
to
you:
aren't
are
intended
by
this
whole
thing's
not
to
not
to
deny
our
self
service,
but
we
are
trying
to
look
at
the
safety
of
where
these.
These
things
go.
These
these
structures
go
because
they
could
be
a
hindrance
in
terms
of
dealing
with
traffic.
You
have
a
wreck
you're
into
a
pole,
we're
alive
before.
AG
If
you
don't
that,
if
there's
no
coordination
between
the
between
these
utilities
and
the
existing
uses
are
in
the
ground,
we
have
have
a
real
problem
as
well,
particularly
for
the
engineering
standpoint
they
didn't
know.
What
were
these
these?
These
units
are
going
and
make
sure
there
are
there
are.
There
are
no
problems
in
terms
of
a
coordination
of
the
utilities
and
not
impacting
somebody
else.
Rick.
O
AG
O
I
would
hope
that
our
delegation
would
help
keep
us
informed
as
these
come
up
and
maybe
as
they
go
to
committee,
so
that
if
we
need
to
send
people
to
the
Capitol
to
testify
to
the
committee's
and
so
forth,
I
think
you're
right.
Mr.
Jones
we're
not
trying
to
stop
where
they
are
needed,
but
we
are
trying
to
give
this
the
local
municipality
some
say-so
on.
What's
going
on,
yes,.
AG
The
from
the
C
standpoint
annual
regulation
itself,
we
extent
we
really
established
this
wireless
communication.
I
haven't
here
2005.
We
change
that
we
did
actually
do
this
back
in
1999
I
went
back
to
research
a
little
bit
more
and
we
were
probably
one
of
the
first
communities
in
the
state.
Amazing
southeast
we've
actually
dealt
with
controlling
of
cell
towers
as
a
whole,
because
we
were
concerned
they
were
all
going,
lumped
and
be
lumped
in
one
area
and
impact
that
area
and
with
no
control
again
over
the
Aztecs
or
the
placement.
AG
Those
in
2016
we
put
regulations
in
place
to
deal
with
these
small
sales
in
publicly
public
right
away.
By
establishing
where
you
can
actually
locate
the
pole,
we
said
we
established
construction
standards,
we
can
sit,
we
can
we
dealt
with
aesthetics
and
we
dealt
with
the
height
of
that
of
that
particular
structure
itself.
AG
Nobody
would
know
anything
about
it.
You'll
be
just
gonna
show
up
on
the
right
away,
and
we
said
we
just
can't
have
that
and
that's
why
that's
how
we
got
to
the
point
now
is
establishing
these
regulations
in
place
because
it
just
wasn't
suitable
for
the
for
the
community
as
a
whole.
We
could
see
this
happening
all
over
the
place
and
kind
of
think
about
think.
We
also
had
no
went
up
on
the
armored
road
right
there
close
to
the
Manchester
Expressway
as
well.
Today
we
got
this
now
between
25
and
30.
AG
New
applications
submitted
that
some
of
you
have
already
got
phone
calls
about.
We
won't
talk
with
that.
Just
live
more
as
well,
and
the
greatest
potential
impact,
of
course
is
this:
are
these
posters
showing
up
overnight
in
neighborhoods
that
particularly
those
neighborhoods
whose
utilities
are
underground
and
all
of
a
sudden
they
have
a
pulse
in
the
in
their
front
yard?
They're,
not
they're,
not
aware
of
that's
a
concern.
We're
trying
to
strive
for
this
is
a
map.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
difficult
to
seal
here,
so
we
include
this
map.
AG
It's
on
the
very
back
of
your
handout,
a
little
bit
larger
and
you
can
see,
but
you
can
see
the
number
of
actual
sites
throughout
throughout
the
the
city
itself.
In
turn,
with,
what's
been,
what's
been
actually
being
constructed,
what's
incomplete
right
now,
well,
there's
also
a
listing
of
addresses
on
here
as
well
to
give
you
an
idea
about
where
they,
where
these
these
permits
will
be
an
issue
now
we're
going
to
show
you
some
pictures
here.
To
of
this
I
mean
you
know,
I
want.
AG
This
is
coming
on
o'clock
before
an
after
type
thing,
no
explain,
I'll!
Let
the
city
manager
explain
it
to
you
in
just
a
second,
but
these
are
the
polls.
We
have
are
here
now
close
to
Amber
Drive.
This
is
actually
one
of
these
on
the
right
actually
in
front
of
Kenner
high
school
one
a
little
bit
further
down
the
street.
This
is
a
wood
pole
that
that
thing
on
top
of
is
the
actual
eye
antenna
or
radio
device
itself.
AG
You
can
also
see
the
equipment
that
it's
hanging
off
the
polls-
counselor,
wouldn't
this
point
out
there
at
their
premature
eye
level
and
they're
easy
to
access
for
anybody.
This
is
the
one
that
councilor
Woodson
brought
us
a
couple
weeks
back
out
there
on
ran
through
Road
itself.
Again
you
see
the
wood
pole
and
the
equipment
out
there
and
that
ones.
This
is
a
Garrett
Creek
and
Glen
Valley.
AG
This
is
that
had
the
equipment
on,
it's
got
a
box
on
there
for
the
power,
but
then
you
may
have
other
other
items
hooked
by
now,
but
this
is
wooden
pole
out
there.
In
this
particular
case,
you
can
see
in
the
left
hand,
side
in
that
picture.
The
street
lights
are
actually
metal.
I
won't
get
ahead
myself
here
on
this.
This
is
Park
Court
and
Eagle
Drive
same
thing.
AG
For
the
most
part,
dealing
with
the
poles,
their
broad
stem
court
and
broad
field
Drive,
you
can
see
these
poser
there's
nothing
else
out
there
they're
higher
than
higher
than
the
actual
streetlights
in
some
cases,
but
they
just
kind
of
stick
out
and
are
very
noticeable
from
that
standpoint.
This
is
the
development.
That's
happened
along
with
Wilshire
Boulevard
close
to
the
apartments
out
there.
This
is
shows
these
metal
poles
actually
going
in
in
this
particular
case.
AG
This
is
this
is
a
good
example
of
how
they
can
actually
blend
into
the
neighborhood
or
to
the
community
as
a
whole,
because
you
have
in
this
case
you
have
on
one
side
and
the
right.
The
right
side
picked.
You
have
a
street
signal
itself
and
on
the
opposite
side,
that
to
that
small
cell
is
actually
one
of
the
street
streetlights
for
the
area.
So.
D
M
Our
staff
of
engineering
director
planning
director
and
a
few
other
staff
met
with
one
of
the
with
the
company
who
has
actually
placed
28
poles
in
Columbus
they've,
gotten
all
these
permits
and
and
we
let
them
know
the
concern
of
counsel,
told
them.
I
I've
heard
from
council
house
and
his
concern
and
counsel
Alan
and
council
Woodson
brought
a
photo
and
all
of
the
others.
M
We
have
very
candid-
very
candid
discussion,
you
know
and
with
him,
and
so
since
we've
left
that
meeting
I
received
a
an
email
that
said
that
the
gentleman
called
back
and
said
that
they
would
replace
all
the
residential
poles
that
are
wooden,
and
we
had
the
conversation
that
we
had
about.
Ramsey
Road
obviously
made
an
impression
upon
him
and
he
wanted
us
to
know
at
this
meet
and
we
talked
to
him
about
replacing
the
wood
poles
with
I
guess
metal.
M
Take
that
to
be
that
they're
not
going
to
go
in
one
neighborhood
and
put
a
metal
pole
in
another
neighborhood
and
put
a
wooden
wood
pole,
and
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
conversation
with
them.
And
we
know
that
the
law,
the
law
is
on
their
side.
And
so
we
need
to
negotiate
and
be
pushy
and
and
get
what
we
can
and
I
expressed
to
him
very
candidly.
That
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
say
to
other
cities
and
counties
that
you
know
the
law
is
not
on
our
side.
M
M
Y
Guess
I
can
just
like
thanking
the
city
manager
cuz.
My
question
was
gonna
be
about
the
appearance
of
the
post
and
they
had
the
cubes
of
homes
in
the
commercial
that
it's
a
voluntary
even
in
the
residential
areas
and
no
matter
where
they
weren't
they
had
the
wooden
post.
Thank
you
for
addressing
it.
Okay,
we've.
K
K
He
told
me
that
the
cellphone
carrier
wanted
all
the
boxes
where
a
repairman
repair
person
could
stand
on
a
3-foot
ladder
and
reach
them
and
I
I
come
in
it
to
him
that,
of
course,
that
puts
him
at
the
level
where
somebody
walking
by
could
also
do
damage
to
it
if
they
so
choose
so
chosen.
He
noted
that,
but
anyway,
that
was
the
reason
he
gave
me
for
why
all
those
boxes
or
where
you
see
them
on
the
side
of
the
pole,.
R
See
councillor
Woodson
I
just
want
to
say
too
wig
to
poor
Donohue
I
drove
crazy,
an
Isaiah,
I
trust
you
and
I.
Thank
you
very
much
and
councillor
house
for
making
that
call
too,
because
it's
very
important
for
constituents
to
know
that
even
if
our
hands
are
tied,
we're
gonna
do
our
best
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
so
much
because
tomorrow
morning,
I
can
walk
over
there
and
let
the
neighbor
know
this
ugly
PO
is
going
to
disappear.
R
Prettier
PO
will
be
there,
but
unfortunately
it
has
to
be
there,
but
it
will
be
appealing
to
you
in
which
you
have
done
in
our
community
to
enhance
it.
So
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
I,
say:
I'm,
sorry,
I,
give
you
a
hard
time
publicly.
I,
say
sorry
to
you
and
honoré,
but
thank
you
very
much.
Sometimes
I
gotta
be
ugly,
but
I
love.
You
well.

We've
got
to
express
appreciation
to
them
for
their
work,
and
we've
got
to
express
appreciation
to
the
company
for
being
willing
to
go
out
there
and
bear
the
expense
of
replacing,
and
so
we
know
that
that's
going
to
be
cost
for
Metiria
and
cost
for
labor,
and
so
we
do
think
them
and
and
that
this
is
a
kind
of
cooperation
and
that
we
need
from
them
that
we
would
be
able
to
say
to
others
that,
though
the
law
is
not
necessarily,
it
doesn't
favor
us.
This
company
has
worked
with
us
too.

Q
Q
You
know
it's
hard
to
really
perceive
it
or
understand
it,
because
there's
so
much
common
sense,
I
mean
it's
just
common
sense
kind
of
approach
to
this
thing,
but
you
know
you
said
something
a
little
while
ago
that
you
stated
that
the
law
is
on
their
side,
but
you
know
when
these
poles
are
being
placed
right
on
the
edge
of
the
road
or
the
curb
and
gutter.
Is
it
all
gonna
be
on
somebody's
side
when
some
young
kid
hits
one
of
those
poles
and
loses
their
life?
Q
We
got
about
is
we
have
no
line
or
said
I
mean
they're,
just
it's
our
right
away,
but
that's
can
so
that
concerns
me
more
than
anything.
You
know.
Aesthetics
is
one
thing,
but
the
location
I
think
everybody
understands
the
technology
and
you
know,
and
they
can
accept
a
lot
of
this
stuff
of
you
know.
The
location
and
and
aesthetics
is
a
big
thing,
certainly
when
it's
a
common-sense
issue
that
somebody
is
probably
worse
than
going
down.
Q
Second
Avenue,
to
be
honest
with
you,
poles
sitting
right
on
top
of
them
right
on
top
of
the
street.
So
that
really
concerns
me
and
but
again,
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
the
assurance
that
we're
trying
we're
trying
to
do
something
positive
here,
make
a
difference.
Hopefully,
they'll
just
work
with
us
and
understand
cuz,
it's
like
I,
said
it
seems
to
be
common
sense.
