This
is
your
city
council.
B
We
appreciate
you
joining
us
for
the
june
14th
city
council
meeting.
We
we've
got
a
few
things
that
we
have
to
discuss
today
and
we
we
are
delighted
to
have
you
with
us
so
that
we
can
continue
our
commitment
towards
being
transparent.
B
We're
going
to
begin,
as
we
always
do,
though,
with
with
asking
god's
presence
on
on
our
proceedings,
so
we'll
invite
to
the
podium
jonathan
moore
from
cityscape
church,
columbus
of
georgia
columbus
georgia
good
morning.
C
C
C
C
You
tell
us
in
the
book
of
james
that
if
we
would
ask
you
for
wisdom,
you
would
give
it
to
us
without
finding
fault
father.
I
personally
find
so
much
hope
in
that
that
you'll
give
us
what
we
need
without
finding
fault
father.
I
personally
pray
that
our
churches
would
fill
up
and
our
jails
would
empty
out.
C
C
C
C
C
C
B
Jonathan,
thank
you
for
that
prayer
and
thank
you
for
those
words,
they're,
extremely
timely
and
and
right
on
point.
We're
grateful
very,
very
grateful
all
right.
If
you
would
please
join
me
in
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
stand,
please.
D
B
With
liberty
and
justice
for
all,
thank
you.
We
we
don't
quite
have
a
quorum
yet,
but
I
don't
think
we
need
one
to
have
a
public
hearing,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
city.
Attorney
is
clifton
fay.
E
E
If
you've
had
a
homestead
exemption
with
a
frozen
homestead
assessment,
your
taxes
should
not
change
and
that's
been
the
same.
Every
year.
We're
required
to
run
this
ad
and
the
way
it
reads
is
sometimes
confusing
to
the
public,
but
it
projects
an
increase
in
the
value
of
the
digest
or
all
the
property
in
the
county
and
I'll.
Let
ms
alexander
come
on
over
director
of
finance
and
she
might
have
a
comment
or
two.
F
But,
as
the
city
attorney
mentioned
each
year,
the
board
of
tax
assessors
is
required
to
review
all
of
the
the
values
of
the
properties
in
in
the
county
and
when
there's
an
increase
in
the
fair
market
value
of
any
specific
property
due
to
significant
improvements
or
property
sales,
the
board
of
assessors
is
required
to
redetermine
the
value
and
adjust
the
assessment,
and
so
this
is
called
a
reassessment,
and
so
what
we're
required
to
do
at
that
point
is
when
the
total
digest
is
of
all
taxable
property
is
prepared.
G
Mayor,
I'm
glad
that
that
we're
given
this
explanation,
it
seems
like
every
year.
We
have
to
do
this
because
it's
just
a
it's,
it's
a
matter
of
the
language
that
how
it's
being
proposed
in
the
state
level.
In
reality,
as
the
finance
director
said
what
I've
been
trying
to
convey
to
my
constituents
and
others
is
that
you
know
the
the
millage
rate
is
not
changing
that
the
taxation
rate
has
not
changed.
G
It
hasn't
changed
in
what
15
plus
years
and
matter
of
fact
it's
gone
down,
or
maybe
you
know
you
can
say,
property
tax
has
gone
down.
It
might
have
gone
up
a
little
bit
on
the
debt
service
this
year,
but
that's
it's
been
the
same
all
these
years.
It's
just
it
has
to
be
recorded
in
line
with
the
tax
digest.
G
It's
confusing
and
also
the
I
think,
a
lot
of
people
there's
there's
a
lot
of
new
people
that
are
moving
into
our
community
and
they're,
not
familiar
with
the
tax
freeze
and
homestead
exemption
and
they're.
G
Just
you
know:
they're
used
to
how
it's
being
taxed
in
other
counties
throughout
the
throughout
the
country,
and
it's
a
little
it's
a
little
different
here,
but
if
you
did
apply
for
homestead
exemption
you're
frozen
you're
frozen
from
going
up
and
you're
frozen
from
going
down,
which
you
know
you
can
make
the
argument,
that's
good
or
or
it's
not
good,
but
that's
the
way.
It
is.
G
If
you
choose
that,
that's
your
own
personal
choice,
if
you
choose
homestead
exemption,
if
not
you
know,
the
tax
commit
assessor
will
continue
to
revalue
your
home
at
the
current
conditions,
and
we
know
that
you
know
real
estate
has
been
a
hot
market
in
in
the
last
few
years,
especially
in
columbus
and
other
places,
and
and
it's
the
third
year
going.
I
don't
think
they
did
mayor.
Did
they
do
a?
I
don't
think
they
did
evaluation
on
properties
because
of
covet
they
decided
not
to
do
the
re-evaluations.
H
G
Thinking
well,
you're
right,
and
this
is
actually
I
think,
it's
the
fifth
year
versus
the
the
third
year,
and
you
know
in
one
way
you
can
look
at
that
as
being
good
that
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
were
were
under
a
tremendous
amount
of
stress
during
there
in
covid.
So
it
didn't,
it
didn't
happen,
but
it
is
now.
People
do
have
the
right
to
appeal
on
the
secondary
properties
or
rental
properties
or
things
commercial
and
things
like
that.
G
But
if
you
have
your
primary
residence,
like
the
finance
director
said
that
it's
not
your.
Your
taxation
is
not
changing.
It's
the
same
as
last
year.
The
year
before
the
city
did
not
go
up
on
property
taxes.
Now
you
know
collecting
more
tax
revenues,
a
different
issue,
but
that
it's
so
confusing
mayor
and-
and
I
you
know-
I
have
a
hard
time-
I
have
to
do
it
every
year.
G
District
has
to
do
school.
District
has
to
do
the
same
thing
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
really
realize
that
the
the
city
aspect
is
only
40
percent
of
the
tax
bill
in
the
school
district
is
60
percent
of
the
tax
bill
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize
that
either.
But
I
appreciate
you
allowing
the
finance
director
to
to
give
that
explanation
again.
I
think
it
goes
a
long
way
in
the
community
because
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
out
there
yeah.
I.
J
Thanks,
I
I
was
able
to
speak
with
angelica
before
the
meeting
too
to
try-
and
you
know,
wrap
my
head
around
this,
and
you
know
she
also
explained
to
me
that
you
know
just
when
the
digest
goes
up.
That
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
we
get
all
that
money.
Of
course
you
know
the
school
district
gets
some
of
the
money,
but
then
you
know
some
of
the
money
is
put
into
some
of
these
different
pots.
J
You
know
like
the
tads
and
things
like
that,
so
it's
not
all
coming
in
to
our
where
we
can
use
it
for
our
budget
also,
and
so
I
think
that
I
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
so
that
the
citizens
kind
of
understand
the
other
layer
that
maybe
us
around
this
table
understand
with
budgeting
and
resources
and
all
this,
but
how
you
know
so.
The
citizens
understand
all
the
different
parameters
that
we're
dealing
with
when
we're
working
with
taxation
and
with
budgets.
K
My
name
is
paul
olson.
I
live
at
13830,
eupatoria
georgia
good
morning,
mayor
city,
council,
you're
talking
about
homestead
those
that
are
not
under
the
auspices
of
homestead.
If
my
understanding
gets
four
percent.
Is
that
correct
those
people
who
have
like
commercial,
small
businesses
that
have
been
struggling
through
this
covid?
Is
that
correct.
K
B
B
B
K
K
So
my
understanding
was
four
percent
and
so
that
those
are
the
people
that
are
small
businesses
and
we
have
a
small
business
and
they're
the
ones
that
struggling
and
they
have
to
go
up
on
their
prices.
Because
of
you
know
it
seems
like
everywhere's,
a
person
looks
these
days.
Things
are
going
up,
savings
is
going
down,
it
went
from
six
trillion
down
to
now
less
than
a
trillion
dollars
and
you've
got
to
understand
we're
now
in
a
recession.
K
M
K
The
squash
and
the
teas
plus,
and
now
we're
looking
at
three
mills
of
property
taxes
that
for
engineer
care
has
been
really
misappropriated.
You
know
we've
went
down
that
way
before
so
I'm
gonna
ask
you
guys
to
really
consider
about
eliminating
that
three
mills
in
property
taxes
or,
if
not
reduce
it
down
to
one
mill
and
actually
go
to
the
prisoners
for
who
are
truly
injured
care
and
those
who
are
injured
instead
of
actually
buying
more
hospitals
with
that
money
and
misappropriating
that
money.
K
So
I
really
want
you
guys
to
consider
that
in
your
budget
of
of
decreasing
that
I
mean
isaiah,
you
came
from
a
poor
family.
Your
mom
was
a
house
cleaning.
Lady,
my
mom
was
off-screen
lady,
but
wherever
I
went,
I
mowed
their
lawns
did
their
gardens
whatever
the
case
may
be.
Is
it
hurting
me?
No?
Is
it
hurting
the
rest
of
you
guys,
probably
not,
but
there's
other
people
who
are
out
there
that
are
very,
very
poor
and
if
they
could
get
some
sort
of
property
tax
relief,
they
gave
you
this
floss.
K
They
gave
you
the
t
spots
and
I
would
think
that
you
guys
would
work
overtime
as
stewards
of
our
money
to
basically
roll
back
that
engine
care
from
three
mills
to
two
mills
and
that
would
really
help
out
even
those
people
who
have
are
on
homestead
and
it
was
under
31
day
785,
and
in
that,
when
I
talked
to
clifton
fave
many
years
ago,
I
said
what
is
the
requirement
he
said.
Well,
one
mill.
Well,
he
didn't
tell
the
whole
story.
You
have
to
have
a
hospital
authority
and
it
goes
through
the
ocga
there.
K
And
if
you
really
look
at
that
ocga,
you
really
don't
have
to
have
anything
for
energy
care.
I
mean
we
have
medicaid
at
the
federal
level
that
helps
out
those
people
who
are
injured
in
and
you
have
medicare.
Also
so,
and
then
I've
talked
to
you
mayor
in
the
past
telephonically,
and
you
said
when
obamacare
kicked
in
that.
Basically
that
would
kind
of
like
release
you
guys
from
that
contract.
Remember
that
skip
when
you
said
when
obamacare
kicked
in
that.
Basically
that
would
help
you
guys
out.
K
So
you
wouldn't
have
to
renew
that,
but
that
that
injured
care,
that
three
mills
has
been
used
by
misappropriated
by
the
the
medical
center
to
go
out
and
buy
all
these
properties
and
take
them
off
the
tax
rolls,
and
it
puts
us
more
in
a
situation
same
way
with
like
the
clerk
of
superior
court.
You
know
when
a
person
steals
a
couple
million
dollars
and
that's
part
of
your
budget
and
you're
you're,
overlooking
that
and
you
have
to
have
well.
K
K
Just
need
to
stick
to
that.
I
really
want
you
to
seriously
think
about
rolling
it
back.
At
least
two
mils
give
us
some
property.
Tax
relief
have
a
heart
guys
because
there's
some
people
really
struggling
out
there,
I'm
serious
as
a
heart
attack.
You
know-
and
I
probably
shouldn't
use
that
as
serious
a
heart
attack,
but
I
mean
I'm
just
telling
you
right
now:
people
are
struggling,
the
gas
is
just
getting
insane
every
day
it
gets
insane.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
I.
D
N
N
B
Yeah,
it
is
it's
unfortunate
the
way
the
state
requires
the
language
to
be,
and
we
have
no
flexibility.
We
don't
even
have
the
authority
to
try
to
change
the
way
it's
written,
to
try
to
make
it
easier
to
understand
for
the
public.
We
have
to
use
the
language
submitted
from
the
state
and
it
does
get
confusing,
but
we
have
not-
and
I
don't
see
us
raising
the
tax
rate,
the
value
increases,
and
so
the
tax
receipts
go
up,
but
we
have
not
raised.
We
have
not
raised
so
I.
N
Appreciate
and
then
to
be
clear,
I
don't
speak
for
the
school
district
by
any
means,
but
I
heard
mr
olson
talk
about
7.62.
N
B
N
Well
and
the
the
point
I
wanted
to
make
about,
it
is
just
to
be
clear
that
that
doesn't
mean
that
you
know,
because
the
digest
increased
7.62,
that
we
went
up
on
property
taxes
right.
That
is
not
what
that
means
in
a
simple
in
a
simplified
way.
N
Just
in
a
simplified
way
it
just
you
know
if
we,
if
we
have
10
new
subdivisions
and
we
add
600
new
properties,
you
know
there's
going
to
be
an
increase
in
your
digest
because
you
added
600
new
houses
and
so
your
digest
went
up,
and
so
when
we
say
the
digest
increased
by
7.26
percent,
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
went
up
on
property
taxes.
It
means
that
the
digest
grew,
you
add
it.
N
O
Victor
price,
I
live
at
31,
glen,
haven,
road,
phoenix
city
alabama
good
morning,
mayor
henderson
and
council.
Thank
you
for
hearing
me
today.
I've
got
one
rental
property
in
columbus
and
I
filed
an
appeal
back
when
y'all
started.
Having
appeals
again,
and
it
was,
I
think
the
property
tax
was
going.
That
was
when
stuff
just
went.
Crazy
and
people
started
filing
the
pills
and
stuff
like
that.
So
they,
my
property
tax
back
in
2018,
was
4
45..
O
I
filed
the
appeal.
It
was
gonna,
go
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
a
little
bit
more
than
a
thousand
dollars.
They
dropped
it
down
to
520,
I'm
down
500
from
445
to
525.
In
2021.
O
Now
my
my
property
taxes
went
back
up
to
9
48
this
time,
so
I'm
gonna
file.
Another
appeal:
I
look
at
the
military
and
all
that
stuff,
and
now
I
understand
the
military
and
all
this
stuff,
but
with
like
two
two
percent
middle
mills
rate
or
whatever.
I
was
just
wondering
why
my
taxes
went
up
so
much
from
last
year.
O
This
year
it's
a
two
bedroom
house,
it's
off
the
reef
road
and
the
tenants
are
already
having
problems
paying
rent,
but
I've
got
to
pass
it
on
to
to
to
someone
to
to
pay
for
that
extra
taxes
and
stuff
like
that,
and
I
was
just
wondering
why
did
it
go
up
so
much
in
in
just.
B
Some
years,
unfortunately,
I
don't
think
anybody
around
this
table
can
tell
you
why
it
went
up
the
amount
it
went
up.
That's
the
question
that
you'll
have
to
try
to
ask
the
the
board
when
you
go
for
your
appeal
and
of
course,
you've
got
another
step.
You
can
take
too.
If
you
don't
like
the
results
of
that,
you
go
to
the
superior
court,
we
don't
get
involved
in
valuations.
That
is
done
by
the
tax
assessor.
Who
is
actually
the
oversight
for
that
is
by
the
tax
assessors
board?
That's
why
they
give
you
an
opportunity.
B
Typically,
what
they
use
is
a
market
data
report
approach,
which
means
they
have
compared
other
properties
like
yours
and
looked
at
what
they're
selling
for
and
use
that
to
develop
the
value
for
yours.
So
my
advice
to
you
would
be
get
an
appraiser
and
go
see
if
he
can
look
for
some
other
comps
or
some
other
properties
that
don't
support
that
big
of
an
increase
and
then
you'll
be
in
in
in.
I
think
you'll
be
better
prepared
for
your
for
your
appeal.
K
Kathy
williams
was
on
channel
three
this
morning
and
she
basically
said
that
the
millage
rate
was
going
up.
7.62
percent
because
of
the
pure
fact
that
it
hasn't
went
up
in
20
years
and
they
weren't
asking
much
for
20
years.
They
were
locked
in
and
my
understanding
also,
if
you're,
not
underneath
the
umbrella.
K
B
D
E
Okay,
well,
we've
got
just
one
more
comment
on
that
mayor.
The
school
millage
is
projected
to
remain
the
same.
We
have
the
preliminary
word
from
the
school
district
that
their
rate
is
not
going
to
change,
but
that
you
know
that
will
be
on
first
reading,
along
with
the
city
millage
next
week,
okay,
councillor
davis,.
G
Yeah
mayor,
I
I
just
would
want
to
make
a
comment
of
that
and
I'm
not
disagreeing
with
the
comments
that
was
just
made
by
mr
olson,
but
I
did.
I
did
see
a
response
from
miss
williams
out
in
public
and
and
she
was
very
clear
that
it
reflected
and
and
was
the
same
thing
that
we
just
said.
I
mean
that's
what
it
did.
She
said
it
wasn't,
she
didn't
say
anything
different
and
I
I
I
read
that
personally,
so
I
don't
know
what
was
said
on
tv
but
it
you
know.
G
E
B
B
All
right,
counselor
house.
P
B
That's
all
well,
thank
you
around
for
a
while
thank
you
for
sharing
that
we
did
have
on
here
on
covet
update.
We
haven't
been
giving
them
regularly
because
it
does
seem
to
be.
I
won't
say
it's
under
control,
but
it
is.
It
has
been
less
impactful
than
it
than
it
was
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
but
the
numbers
continue
to
escalate
a
little
bit
we're
seeing
more
positive
cases.
Summertime
people
are
gathering
together.
So
I
would
just
urge
you
to
continue
to
try
to
be
vigilant.
B
Try
your
best
to
continue
to
adhere
to
some
of
the
recommendations
that
were
made
during
the
height
of
the
pandemic
and
think
about
those
around
you.
If
you
feel
bad
stay
home,
don't
go
out
there
to
the
to
the
lake
or
the
beach
just
take
a
day
off
and
rest,
but
we'll
we'll
continue
to
keep
you
updated
periodically.
B
N
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Yesterday
I
attended
a
news
conference
announcing
juneteenth
the
week
in
columbus,
georgia
and
our
ccgtv
director
manager
advised
me
he
has
a
three-minute
video
that
he
pulled
together
from
that
news
conference
that
he
would
like
to
show
and
and
then
I
know
that
council
tucker
was
involved
as
co-chair
chair
of
the
committee,
and
so
I'd
like
to
show
the
video
and
then
she
will
likely
have
some
comments.
B
I
H
I
B
B
What
an
amazing
amazing
performance
an
incredible
way
to
start
this
with
the
reenactment
it's
you
know,
I
shouldn't
be
surprised
at
how
great
this
is
because
of
the
people
who
are
involved.
Q
Thank
you,
city
manager,
and
thank
you
mayor.
I
said
yesterday
that
it
was
a
very
emotional
time
I
could
not
have
done
it
without
great
help.
Q
Director
rob
landers
as
we
call
ourselves
pic
partnering
crime
and
rob
scott
who's
auto
in
the
back.
Who
should
be
up
here
because
I
made
a
comment:
we
had
a
conversation.
First
of
all,
we've
been
planning
since
july
of
last
year
we
had
a
conversation
about
doing
a
press
conference
and
we
started
in
the
liberty
district.
We
moved
to
the
springer,
we
talked
about
going
to
the
civic
center
and
then
we
finally,
with
the
help
of
oz,
roberts
and
rob
scott
got,
and
we
call
it
the
round
tree
house.
Q
We
have
renamed
the
swift
house
to
the
round
tree
house,
so
we
were
very
appreciative
of
doctor
and
mrs
roundtree
for
letting
us
use
his
facility
his
home
for
us
to
do
that.
Reenactment
on
yesterday,
we
have
so
many
people
who
have
their
hands
involved
in
planning
juneteenth
and,
as
you
saw
the
springer
and
reference,
the
individuals
that
were
singing
were
part
of
color
purple,
the
color
purple.
Q
So
many
people
have
reached
out
the
dragonfly
trail.
I
mean
they
have
reached
out
to
us.
You
know
to
be
a
part,
and
that
is
exactly
what
we
wanted.
We
wanted
a
unity
week.
You
know
we
wanted
organizations
community
partners
to
come
together
and
that's
what
we
got
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
love
about.
Rob
landers.
Q
Every
time
we
start
our
meetings,
we
end
our
meetings,
anything
that
goes
on.
We
are
in
complete
prayer.
You
know,
we
know
that
everything
that
has
occurred-
it
is
divine,
I
mean
it
is,
like
god
divine,
and
I
am
more
than
thankful
and
I
I
have
to
also
say
tiasha
johnson
who's
back
there
in
the
corner
she's
our
guiding
light,
because
she
keeps
us
on
track
with
our
meetings,
our
notes
and
and
also
all
the
community
partners
that
they
are
part
of
it.
Q
So
I
I
definitely
thank
tiasha,
but
we
have
so
many
people
knees,
wiggins,
jeremy
eckles
I
can
keep
going
on
and
on
and
on,
but
the
entire
ccg
different
people
throughout
ccg
have
become
a
part
of
this
june
team
committee
and
also
over
30
community
partners
right.
So
this
is
something
so
amazing
I'mma,
let
rob
landers
finish.
Q
R
Well,
good
morning,
city
council,
mr
mayor
and
deputy
city
managers,
like
ms
tucker
said,
this
is
a
culmination
of
the
community
coming
together,
I
mean
miss
tucker
started
to
announce
some
of
the
partners
that
we've
had,
and
you
know
we
also
have
to
include
the
library
system
and
allan
harkless
and
mildred
terry
library,
and
you
know
again,
internal
team
members
from
heather
gibbons
to
pamela
marco.
That's
helped
with
the
website
to
brian
lackey
who's
leading
the
bike
ride.
R
R
Commitment
to
this
unity
weekend,
juneteenth
jubilee-
and
you
know
I
don't
want
that-
to
get
lost
in
everything
that
we've
got
going
on,
because
it's
just
been
so
many
people
that
has
participated,
and
even
after
yesterday
and
seen
the
press
conference
on
the
news,
we've
got
other
people
who
have
reached
out.
That
said,
hey
whatever
I
can
do
wherever
I
can
be
to
help.
So
that's
been
the
key
and
I
think
that's
a
true
reflection
of
columbus
right.
R
This
community
is
that,
and
it
also
shows
that
how
we
can
gather
around
one
common
goal
and
all
kind
of
work
together
for
the
for
the
good
of
the
of
the
citizens,
and
so
with
this
week,
we're
going
to
try
to
continue
the
momentum
from
yesterday
and
do
a
week
that
we
have
a
week
long
of
events.
The
next
event
that's
going
to
take
place
is
today
it's
going
to
be
from
12
to
5
the
shirley
b
winston
recreation
center
and
that's
going
to
be
rob.
R
R
He
may
not
admit
it
to
you,
but
that
was
a
part
of
his
planning
to
put
that
on
so,
but
oz
roberts
has
played
a
critical
part
in
this
entire
process.
He
was
in
his
element,
oz
roberts,
passed
out
last
night
after
the
events
were
over
with
so
it
just
shows
literally.
It
shows
the
blood,
sweat
and
tears
that
we
have
been
putting
in
to
try
to
make
this
success
a
success
on
wednesday
evening
at
approximately
5
30
to
6
we
will
have
our
educational
night,
that's
going
to
be
our
oral
presentation.
R
Janiece
granville,
sylvia
bunn
and
ahsante
hilt
is
leading
that
night,
where
we
will
have
an
educational
component
to
juneteenth.
Why
do
we
celebrate
it?
What
does
it
mean?
What
is
it
significance
to
today?
So
there'll
be
arts
and
crafts
and
grio
presentations
there?
So
definitely
we
want
all
of
our
families
to
come
out
to
enjoy
that
night
on
thursday
evening
at
the
macon
road
library
right
next
door,
we'll
have
a
presentation
called
a
closed
story.
This
is
sponsored
by
aflac,
and
the
curator
of
this
program
is
kenneth
green.
R
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
visual
art
and
fashion
illustration
of
juneteenth
and
as
well
as
the
history
of
african
american
influence
on
fashion
within
our
society
and
culture
we
hyatt
and
we're
highlighting
local
influencers
within
this
exhibit
it
is
a
site
to
be
seen.
It
is
set
up
actually
right
now,
but
on
that
next
thursday,
again,
as
I
mentioned
yesterday
during
the
press
conference,
there
will
be
food
and
refreshments.
There
will
be
food
and
refreshments
next
thursday.
That's
our
big
presentation,
but
we'll
be
highlighting,
like
maharani,
ophelia,
devour
mitchell
and
freddie
marshall.
R
During
that
night's
exhibits
on
friday,
we're
going
to
have
a
food
truck
friday
at
the
civic
center,
it's
going
to
start
around
12
o'clock
go
to
about
2
30..
So
if
you
need
lunch
on
friday,
definitely
come
down
to
the
civic
center
for
our
food
truck
friday,
and
that
evening
the
springer
has
partnered
and
they
are
creating
a
discount
code
for
the
color
purple.
The
discount
code
for
the
cover
purple
for
25
off
tickets
is
juneteenth.
R
So
when
you
go
on
to
the
springer
website,
please
use
that
promo
code
for
juneteenth
and
get
discounted
tickets.
We
want
to
pack
out
the
springer
as
their
as
our
appreciation
to
the
color
purple,
and
its
cast
on
saturday
is
going
to
be
the
juneteenth
jubilee.
We've
got
ymca
involved,
4.0
fitness,
several
community
partners,
we'll
have
a
community
resource
fair,
taking
place
from
12
to
2.,
we'll
have
food
vendors
in
parking
lot
d,
which
we're
calling
the
black
wall
street
as
our
owed.
In
tribute
to
tulsa
oklahoma.
R
We
will
have
the
peach
state
kids
zone,
we'll
have
bouncy
houses
face,
painting
slime
truck
the
sheriff's
office
will
be
there
with
the
game
truck
so
just
a
whole
day
of
festivities
for
the
community,
and
all
of
these
events
are
free.
There's
no
charge
for
any
of
these
events
to
attend,
and
that
is
just
with
the
help
of
our
local
community
partners
through
donations
and
sponsorship.
So
we
are
asking
too
for
people
to
be
aware
of
the
heat
advisory.
For
this
weekend.
R
And
then
we
wrap
everything
up
next
monday
on
june
20th,
with
the
historic
bike
ride
around
the
black
heritage
trail,
that's
going
to
be
led
by
brian
lackey's
team,
but
it's
going
to
be
where
we're
going
around.
I
think
the
entire
trail
and
ride
is
like
6.6
miles.
We've
got
people
that
have
signed
up
from
florida
from
atlanta
to
already
participate
in
this
bike
ride
and
at
each
marker,
we'll
have
volunteers
just
expressing
the
summary
of
what
that
marker
means
and
what
it
means
to
our
local
community
and
the
history
behind
that
marker.
R
B
Outstanding,
thank
you
all
right
yeah,
but
I
agree
with
the
city
manager
that
that
press
conference
was
something
else.
The
reenactment
was
really
cool
and
I
would
you
know
I
remember
I
challenged
rob
and
and
and
councilor
tucker
about
a
year
ago
they
came.
They
were
talking
about
juneteenth
and
doing
a
big
celebration
on
on
the
19th,
and
I
said
well
why
don't
columbus
is
big
on
unity.
B
I
said
why
don't
you
guys
try
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
do
a
week-long
focus
on
unity,
not
not
just
june
15th,
it's
the
focal
point
of
it,
but
on
unity,
and
so
that's
what
we
hope
to
see.
We
hope
to
see
a
very
diverse
group
at
each
of
these
events,
step
outside
your
comfort
zone
and
join
us.
It's
going
to
be
an
incredible
and
incredible
week
and
can't
thank
the
co-chairs,
obviously,
but
certainly
all
the
folks
that
worked
on
that
on
that.
B
That
committee
enough
for
putting
together
a
really
outstanding,
outstanding
event
and
I've
promised
denise
granville
that
I
would
do
something
to
really
humiliate
myself.
I
haven't
shot
a
basketball
in
26
years,
but
I
apparently
am
in
a
three-point
contest
on
saturday
morning.
If
I
can
get
it
even
to
the
backboard,
I'm
done.
My
shoulder
will
be
thrown
out
a
lot
going
on
in
columbus,
there's.
Also
the
miss
georgia
pageant
in
town.
B
It's
the
77th
anniversary
of
miss
georgia
being
associated
with
columbus,
it's
at
our
fantastic
river
center
they're,
going
to
be
having
that
competition
and
you'll
see
some
incredibly
talented
young
women
on
wednesday
through
saturday.
So
a
lot
going
on
whatever
your,
whatever
your
preference
is
you'll,
be
able
to
find
something
something
to
do
all
right.
Mr
city
attorney.
E
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
back
to
the
business
agenda,
which
is
fairly
long
this
morning
at
budget
time,
but
we'll
get
through
it.
First
item
up.
We've
got
a
scheduled
zoning
hearing.
This
is
first
reading
to
rezone
20.36
acres
at
11,
0011
veterans,
parkway
from
residential
estate
1
to
residential
estate
10
with
conditions
recommended
approval
is
mr
price
here,
or
anyone
with
stovall.
E
G
S
G
Great,
I
appreciate
you
sharing
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
clarify.
So
you
know
nobody
there's
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
that
area.
Right
now.
Yes,
trust
me,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
that
this
is
just
bringing
in
line
with
the
udo.
It
is.
Thank
you.
E
E
It's
314
million
425
601
dollar
total
and
we've
got
a
couple
of
amendments
that
we
want
to
make
this
morning.
A
couple
of
counselors
first
would
be
mayor
pro
tem
concerning
the
office
of
homeland
security,
emergency
management,
a
proposed
transfer
to
put
that
under
the
mayor's
office
with
a
new
department
director
but
mayor
pro
tem.
T
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
city
attorney.
We've
talked
about
this
in
the
last
few
weeks.
I
just
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
make
the
motion
to
transfer
the
emergency
management
and
homeland
security
functions
from
the
fire
and
ems
department
over
to
the
mayor's
office.
B
All
right
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
to
prove
that
any
discussion
hearing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
I
don't
believe
it's
queued
up
all
right.
Any
opposed
all
right.
That
amendment
passes.
E
B
E
That
amendment
will
be
formally
reflected
in
the
document
you
get
next
week,
it'll
be
on
second
reading.
Then
I
think
we
have
one
more
proposed
amendment
regarding
the
coroner's
increase
from
councillor
davis.
G
Mayor,
thank
you.
Look
I
just
want
to
say:
we've
had
some
conversation
on
this
and
you
know
this
year
the
the
budget
session
went
through
real,
quick
and,
and
we
didn't
have
any
presentations
really.
There
were
a
couple
and
we
kind
of
got
got
into
those
in
detail.
G
I
think,
during
that
time
long
days
and
all
you
got
to
take
a
break
and
go
the
restroom
and
so
forth
and
before
you
know
what
the
meeting's
over
with,
but
that's
no
fault
of
anybody,
that's
not
what
I'm
saying,
but
it's
still
on
first
reading
and
first
reading,
you
still
have
an
opportunity
to
do
the
add
delete
list.
So
within
our
procedures,
this
is
fine.
G
One
of
the
things
that
the
council
has
been
charged
with
is,
and
probably
the
key
responsibility
not
only
on
the
legislative
side
but
to
finalize
a
budget
it's
presented
and
then
to
finalize
a
budget.
So
in
looking
at
this
a
little
more
in
detail,
I
I
think
with
this
one
position
I
think
we're
all
in.
G
We
need
to
really
look
at
the
core
nurse
position,
take
take
names
or
anybody
out.
We
need
to
look
at
that
because
I
I
think
that
it's
going
to
show
that
there
needs
to
be
some
type
of
salary
adjustment,
and
you
could
probably
make
the
argument
that
it
needs
to
be
more
than
what
is
proposed
and
what
I
would
like
to
in
order
to
be
consistent
with
where
we're
at
today
we're
in
a
very
very
unusual
year,
because
we've
budgeted
an
excessive
amount
of
money
for
a
pay
plan.
G
G
Maybe
we
need
to
look
at
this
a
little
bit
closer
and
maybe
we
need
to
adjust
it
even
more
to
the
upside,
because
it
just
you
know
it
it
needs
to
be
addressed.
If
we're
going
to
do
it
now
is
the
time
to
do
it
with
the
rest
of
the
pay
plan,
the
rest
of
general
government
rest
of
our
employees
take
a
look
at
it.
So
that's
the
first
part
of
the
the
amendment
and
or
or
condition.
G
The
second
part
is
just
to
implement
it
consistently
with
the
rest
of
our
employees
that
everybody
will
receive
that
increase
at
the
same
time.
So
that's
that's
what
I'd
like
to
propose
in
an
effort
to
try
to
remain
consistent.
I'd
also
like
to
ask
well
mayor:
if
we
can
go
through
that
and
then
you
know,
I've
got
an
another
matter
pertaining
to
this.
That
I'd
like
to
talk
about.
T
G
What
we're
asking
is,
whether
internally,
through
our
human
resource
department
or
through
whether
it's
our
consultants
or
whether
csu
I'm
okay
with
that,
but
we'll
have
a
documentation.
I
think
it
needs
to
be
relooked
at
and
and
it
could
reflect
that
come
in
as
a
greater
amount.
I'm
okay
with
that.
I
just
think
the
document
will
show
that
and
that's
one
to
be
relooked
at
in
a
second
is
to
be
implemented
when
the
rest,
the
general
government
and
the
public
safety
get
there.
So
it's.
B
That
out,
subject
to
a
a
pay
study
performed
on
that
position.
Well,.
G
B
All
right,
counselor
crab.
G
J
N
We
know
that
all
been
in
georgia
paid
their
corner,
65
000
in
all
benny
georgia.
Our
corner
is
currently
at
60
000.
N
G
You
can
do
it
in-house,
mississippi
manager.
I
just
I
really
want
you
to
focus
on
that
base
salary.
N
I
tell
you
what
I
mean
our
hr
person
can
send
you
an
email,
but
if
you
want
a
study,
we
will
pay
for
one
and
get
it.
N
N
U
Mr
mayor,
I
I
believe
that
it
might
be
a
little
cleaner
if
you
will,
if
we,
if
the
motion
is
to
direct
the
city
manager,
to
provide
us
with
a
study
to
include
a
recommendation
for
the
time
of
implementation,
and
that
would
that
would,
I
think,
meet
what
counselor
davis
is
looking
for.
U
But
it
would
also
give
the
city
manager
a
little
bit
of
leeway
and
they
can
put
together
the
study
and-
and
if
you
know
if
he
feels
like
it's
necessary
for
us
to
go
outside
of
the
the
government,
he
knows
how
to
do
that.
And
so,
if
we
would,
if
the
motion
would
say
that
the
city
manager
shall
conduct
a
review
and
to
include
implementation
date
and
bring
it
back
to
council
at
the
earliest
time
available,
so
that
we
can
get
on
with
this
and
and
get
this
in
the
budget.
E
Q
V
Want
to
clarify
something,
because
what
I'm
hearing
the
city
manager
say
it's
the
vote
we're
already
going
to
take.
So
I
need
to
be
clarified
on
on
what
we're
saying.
City
manager
just
said
that
they
had
already
went
back
because
of
the
concern
and
looked
at
the
pay
of
it.
He
mentioned
the
second
and
the
first
largest
city
albany
in
phoenix
city,
and
he
already
said
it's
already
in
the
budget
to
be
increased.
V
B
V
D
V
V
N
N
City
manager,
so
so,
mr
mayor,
I
you
know-
and
I
I
heard
the
what
counselor
thomas
said
and
certainly
agree
with
that's
an
approach,
but
we
have
82
000
in
the
budget
and
I'd
like
to
see
the
amendment
or
the
motion
be
that
we
delay
implementation
of
the
82
000
until
the
start
of
the
pay
plan
and
leave
it
at
that
because
we
have
82
000
in
the
budget.
N
I
G
V
B
U
Well,
I
I
said
that
that
the
city
manager
would
conduct
would
authorize
a
study
if
that
is
hr,
doing
the
study.
If
that
is
csu,
doing
the
study
that's
up
to
the
city
manager
to
do
to
select
and
then
he
will
come
back
to
us
with
an
implementation
date.
As
part
of
that
study,
I
tried
to
give
him
enough
leeway
that
he
could.
If
the
hr
comes
back
and
says
no
80
000
is
what
we
need
to
do.
Then
that's
the
study.
You
know
I'm
looking
for.
U
U
Q
Yeah
city
manager-
I
was
going
to
request,
can
we
use
the
individuals
that's
already
doing
the
study.
N
Okay,
well,
no,
no!
It
wouldn't.
W
W
W
B
Well
it,
it
really
would
be
just
no
amendment,
because
we
we,
we
can't
really
approve
the
budget
today
it's
on
first
reading,
so
we
can
amend
it,
but
I
don't
know
that
that
would
amend
it.
That
would
just
leave
it
alone
and
then
just
tell
the
city
manager
administratively.
So
I
think
where
your
your
position
would
fall
is
on
voting
against
the
the
amendment
as
presented.
W
Okay,
because
I
was,
I
had
a
little
discussion
on
this
and
it
has
been-
you
know,
brought
to
my
attention
and
I
brought
it
to
others
attention
that,
since
covet,
everything
has
increased
beyond
anybody's
understanding
and
me
being
in
the
field.
W
So
at
this
point
in
time
with
what
goes
on
and
the
increase
in
his
expectations,
I
think
I
think
you're
on
point
on
where
he
needs
to
be
I'm
saying
at
this
point
in
time.
N
W
N
P
J
I
think
some
of
your
confusion
is
that
is
that
he
brought
it
up
before.
We
knew
that
that
that
the
city
manager
had
done
a
pace
that
had
done
it.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
a
pay
study.
So
now
we
have
that
that
part
cleared
up,
but
I
think
the
other
part
is
we
want
it
to
be
consistent
throughout
the
government.
J
J
It
may
delay
it
based
on
when
we
implement
the
pla
pay
study,
but
it
does
not
take
it
away
and
it
makes
it
consistent.
So
everybody
across
the
board
is
getting
their
pay
increase.
At
the
same
time,.
M
And
that's
the
sidebar
that,
because
I
was
a
little
bit
confused
because
I
think
everybody
knows.
M
Everyone
every
counselor
here,
I
think,
would
be
in
agreement
with
what
I'm
getting
ready
to
say
that
that
the
coroner
has
done
an
exemplary
job,
especially
during
what
we've
gone
through.
He
has
done
an
excellent
part,
excellence
job
with
what
he's
doing
so,
it's
not
and
and
city
manager,
to
your
credit,
to
have
done
your
due
diligence
to
to
highlight
just
how
underpaid
I
use
that
term.
M
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
it,
because
if
council
woodson
can
be
confused,
if
council
tucker
could
be
confused,
if
I
could
be
confused
on
what
we're
doing
now,
I
know
everyone
who's
watching
our
viewing
audience
they
may
be
confused,
so
has
nothing
to
do.
This
is
being
consistent.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that.
For
me,
this
is
just
being
consistent
in
what
we're
doing
for
all
of
the
employees,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
personally
for
bdu.
M
B
Thank
you,
sir
all
right,
yeah,
yes,
sir,
but
on
the
on
the
ordinance,
not
necessarily
the
amendment.
The
amendment
is
on
the
table
with
motion
in
a
second.
Is
there
any
other
discussion
council?
Mr
mr
hughley,
did
you
want
to.
W
I
thought
this
was
supposed
to
be,
since
it
was
in
the
budget
as
a
supplement
and
not
a
permanent
salary.
With
the
supplement
to
be.
I
don't
think,
that's
the
way
it's
in
there.
No,
it's
a
salary,
it's
permanent,
okay,
but
I'm
saying
okay!
Well,
what
happens
to
the
the
budget?
As
is
somebody
helped
me
with
that?
The
age
it
stays
the
same.
B
E
F
E
Well,
the
way,
the
way
I
heard
it
last
was
give
the
city
manager
the
flexibility
to
confirm
the
increase.
That's
currently
in
the
budget
through
hr
or
any
other
consultant,
and
to
come
back
with
a
specific,
effective
date
for
implementation
july,
1
same
as
a
pay
plan
or
another
date.
But
that
will
have
to
be
noted
next
week,
right
hopefully
before
next
tuesday
or
at
next
tuesday's
meeting.
B
All
right
there's
a
motion
on
the
table
any
further
discussion
hearing
now,
mr
brian,
is
into
that
motion.
I
mean
I.
We
should
probably
hear
from
the
coroner
if
we're
going
to
deal
that,
mr
brian,
if
you
want
to
come
up,
we
got
a
comment.
D
X
X
X
My
background
in
the
funeral
business
and
my
experience
in
death
my
knowledge,
it
can't
be
beat.
You
can't
compare
me
to
anybody
out
in
the
corporate
world.
X
X
We
do
1250
death
investigations.
Last
year,
when
I
was
elected
in
2012
we
did
626.,
we've
had
just
a
steady
increase
and
it's
just
going
to
get
more
and
more
and
more
me
personally,
a
job
out
in
the
corporate
world,
such
as
mine,
would
be
a
120
to
150
000
position.
X
I
came
in
at
sixty
thousand
from
a
job
where
I
was
making
over
a
quarter
of
a
million
a
year
in
medical
sales,
but
I'm
here
to
represent
the
citizens
of
columbus,
with
honesty
and
dignity
and
morals
and
professionalism,
and
I
will
continue
to
do
so
and
whatever
you
all
decide
I'll
stick
to
it
I'll
be
with
you.
X
X
X
I
just
again
wanted
to
thank
you.
Let
you
know
that
my
heart's
in
this
position
and
I'm
going
to
stay
in
it
and
I'm
going
to
provide
the
citizens
with
the
best
services.
I
can
I've
been
elected
corner
of
the
year
for
the
state
of
georgia,
I'm
the
second
vice
president
of
the
georgia
coroner's
association
out
of
159
counties
next
year,
I'll
be
the
first
vice
president
and
in
2024,
when
I'm
up
for
re-election
I'll,
be
the
president
of
the
georgia
corners
association.
X
That
says
a
lot
for
my
peers
to
recognize
my
ability,
knowledge
and
experience
to
put
me
on
that
plateau,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
everyone,
everyone.
I
got
a
lot
of
friends
up
there
and
whatever
y'all
decide
to
do,
I'm
going
to
be
behind
you
100.
Thank
you,
okay.
Thank
you.
That's
thank
you,
sir.
Basically.
B
B
We've
got
two
more
comments.
I
guess
to
the
ordinance
itself,
councillor
davis,
yeah,
mayor.
G
Thank
you.
I
didn't
want
to
get
too
confused
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
really
like
us
to
do,
and
the
coroner
just
said
it
just
a
minute
ago,
is
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
base
salary.
I
was
a
little
when
I
looked
at
it.
It
looked
like
the
base.
Salary
was
a
lot
higher,
but
it's
not
it's
the,
including
of
benefits.
G
Now
I
don't
know
what's
happening
in
these
other
cities
and
counties,
but
I
would
like
that
to
be
looked
at
closely
on
the
base
salary
and
we're
probably
going
to
find
out
that
the
coroner
should
be
paid
more.
That's
probably
what's
going
to
happen
and
if
that's
so
yeah,
then
I
think
this
council
at
the
right
time
can
make
that
adjustment.
We
do
it
all
the
time
and
it
can
be
done
and
based
on
the
conversation
I
hear
that
would
be
the
the
way
to
go
about
it
now.
G
You
know
I
really
thank
the
coroner
for
being
a
team
player
because
we
have,
for
the
last
two
years
we've
been
telling
our
employees
to
wait,
wait,
wait.
Public
safety
has
been
telling
us.
You
know
they've
been
leaving
in
droves
and
we
haven't
done
been
able
to
do
anything
and
now
we're
finally
getting
there.
We've
had
to
make
some
emergency
adjustments
to
keep
people,
but
we've
been
telling.
You
know.
G
G
G
Is
that
the
coroner
should
be
part
of
public
safety
is
part
of
public
safety,
and
in
saying
that
what
I'd
like
to
ask
did
the
coroner
and
his
people
did
they
were
they
able
to
participate
in
the
hazardous
pay
that
all
our
other
public
safety
members
were
able
to
did?
Did
they
benefit
in
that?
Well,.
N
And
I'll
ask
the
finance
director
to
to
respond
to
that,
and
I
mean
I
didn't
really
want
to
get
into
it.
But
you
talked
about
the
value
of
the
coroner's
position
and
and
so
and
finance
director.
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
respond
to
his
question
about
public
safety
and
all
that.
But
but
you
know,
I
think
we
pay
275
per
death
investigation
he's.
N
G
G
N
But
did
they
get
it
so
no
elected
officials
got
any
hazards
paid
for
it.
You
know
the
sheriff
didn't
get
it.
The
corner,
didn't
get
it
if
you
were
elected
the
supreme
court
clerk,
so
he
did
not
get
it,
nor
did
his
employees
when
you
say
hazardous
pay,
you're
talking
about
the
three
thousand
dollars
that
we
pay.
I'm.
N
G
D
G
It
either,
you
know,
my
point
is
he's
part
of,
I
think
he's
part
of
public
safety
and
we
ought
to
start
looking
at
that
and
if
we
need
to
do
if
we
need
to
make
an
adjustment
to
bring
him
to
the
public
safety
side,
then
I'm
fine
with
that.
That's
that's
what
I'm
bringing
up
and
I'd
like
that
to
be
considered,
so
they.
D
G
N
U
Mr
city
manager,
if
I
remember
correctly,
this
hazardous
pay
or
the
bonus
that
we
were
talking
about,
was
a
result
of
a
grant.
Is
that
not.
U
U
The
council
gave
a
three
thousand
dollar
stipend
to
post
certified
public
safety
employees
that
did
not
include
the
sheriff,
and
at
that
time
we
had
a
marshal
and
that
did
not
include
them
because
they
were
elected
officials
and
that's
the
position
this
council
took
at
that
time.
So,
let's
be
sure
that
whatever
we
do
with
this
issue
follows
the
guidelines
of
the
got
of
the
grant
that
we
got
and
keeping
bear
in
mind
that
we
have
said
that
the
elected
officials
do
not
receive
the
stipend
that
other
public
safety
employees
receive
sure.
G
Davis
and
and
just
to
clarify
that
all
I'm
asking
I'm
not
saying
to
give
him
that,
in
the
form
of
that
bonus,
I'm
asking
you
to
take
it
in
consideration
in
the
review.
That's
what
I'm
asking
so
it
should
be.
I
think
everybody
at
this
table
agrees.
It
should
be.
You
just
heard
what
he
what
the
coroner
is
going
through
and
if
that's
a
fact,
then
I
think
it
ought
to
be
taken
in
consideration.
Thank
you.
B
E
N
N
Of
course,
we
were
dealing
with
the
interim
d.a,
shinikateri
and,
and
so
this
district
attorney
has
not
had
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
the
budget
that
he
will
be
operating
with
starting
july
1st
and
mayor
you,
and
I
we
met
with
the
interim
district
attorney
during
the
budget
process,
to
hear
from
her
about
her
needs
and
and
I'll
tell
you
around
the
table
that
one
of
the
things,
because
you
know
we-
we
came
off
of
a
a
situation
with
the
district
attorney
who's
no
longer
there
and
experienced
attorneys
were
let
go
and
that
office
has
been
starving
for
experienced
attorneys,
and
so
the
former
district
attorney
did
indicate
that
they
needed
some
discretionary
supplement
money
to
be
able
to
go
and
hire
experienced
attorneys.
N
He
has
experienced
attorneys
lined
up
and
he
said,
look.
I
need
fifty
thousand
dollars
more
in
the
budget
for
discretionary
supplement
to
bring
in
experienced
attorneys.
We
gotta
have
experienced
attorneys,
and
so
I
asked
him
to
come
this
morning
because
my
request
and
his
request
is
that
you
amend
the
budget
to
give
him
fifty
thousand
dollars
more
discretionary,
supplemental
money
that
he
can
hire
experienced
attorneys
and
get
those
attorneys
in
the
courtroom
to
deal
with
cases
that
he
can
move
cases.
N
And
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
yield
to
the
newly
appointed
district
attorney
stacy
jackson
and
the
finance
director
is
just
telling
me
with
benefits.
The
amount
will
be
53
826
dollars.
If
you
choose
to
allow
him,
fifty
thousand
dollars
supplement
to
bring
these
experienced
attorneys
on
that
they
can
move
some
cases.
Mr
d.a.
Y
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mr
hughley,
good
morning,
mary
henderson
city,
council,
members,
seat
attorney.
Thank
you
all
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
before
you.
Please
be
kind
and
gentle
as
you.
You
know,
I'm
a
newbie
to
this
experience,
never
been
before
this
council
for
a
budget
taking
over
an
office.
Y
That,
unfortunately,
has
as
I
say
that
has
been
in
shambles
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
but
we've
dedicated
to
to
to
change
that
that
course,
but
I
just
want
to
speak
with
you
about
a
couple
of
things.
Just
give
you
a
couple
of
numbers.
Y
Obviously,
as
you
know,
2021
we
just
went
through
a
violent
crisis
in
our
cities,
with
the
number
of
murder
cases
that
we've
that
were
committed
in
muscovy
county,
not
even
including
the
outlying
circuit
that
I'm
responsible
for,
but
just
70,
some
odd
murder
cases
and
then
the
then
the
20
or
so.
I
believe
this
year's,
as
well
as
I
was
talking
to
my
executive
assistant,
is
actually
yates
a
few
minutes
ago.
We
have
right
now
717.
Y
To
get
him
back
to
the
chief
of
system.
To
give
us
some
help,
I
was
able
to
hire
an
experienced
attorney
veronica
hanses,
who
started
last
monday,
but
the
problem
has
been
getting
because
these
individuals,
like
don,
is
not
necessarily
here
for
the
money,
but
because
he's
a
product
of
this
community
and
miss
hansen's
husband
is
a
is
a
soldier
here
at
fort
benning
and
dedicated
and
placing
her
roots
here
in
the
community.
So
I
believe
I
believe,
councilman
barnes
said
it's
not
always
about
the
money.
Y
It's
about
stepping
up
and
setting
the
standard
for
commitment
to
the
to
the
community,
but
I'm
I'm
competing
with
getting
senior
adas
against
metro
atlanta
counties
who's,
paying
some
of
their
senior
assistance
200
000
a
year.
Y
Y
We
there
was
a
a
young
lady
who,
unfortunately,
there
was
some
misuse
of
some
asset
forfeiture
funds
that
mr
jones
was
paying
a
young
lady,
an
assistant
va
out
of
those
asset
forfeiture
funds
and
then
once
that
was
found
out
that
that
was
illegal
to
do
so
that
money
was
taken
away
from
her,
but
with
that
discretionary
fund
being
so
small,
there
was
no
way
to
supplement
that
income
that
was
taken
away
from
her,
and
I
literally
begged-
and
I
begged-
and
I
begged
I
said:
look
you
know,
I've
been
appointed.
Y
I'm
going
to
take
over.
You
know
be
sworn
in
on
may
20th,
please
stay
you're,
a
bright
upcoming
attorney.
Please
stay!
I
want
to
work
with
you.
I
want
to
have
you
work
for
my
office,
I
lost
to
the
bill
county.
They
were
able
to
pay
her
20
000
more
and
I
couldn't
keep
her.
I
mean
I
literally
begged.
This
generally
said
that
I'm
going
to
try
to
go
to
council
and
get
you
you
know
a
supplement
to
replace
the
funds
that
was
lost,
but
she
left.
I
couldn't.
Y
I
couldn't
keep
her
and
I
have
a
young
lady.
That's
I
hate
to
let
out
my
secret,
but
that's
in
lagrange
and
troop
counted
as
a
senior
assistant
d.a,
but
she
lives
he.
She
lives
here
with
her
husband
and
but
she
drives
back
and
forth
to
lagrange
to
work
out
of
that
office.
Y
I
know
there's
a
initiative
that
has
come
down
from
our
attorney
general
chris
carr
with
game
cases,
and
I
know
that
the
I've
talked
to
the
sheriff
countryman
he's
already
started
his
crime
suppression
unit
and
gain
unit,
and
I
have
to
have
seasoned
experienced
attorneys
to
handle
those
cases,
because
those
cases
involve
very
complicated
statutes
and
not
only
dealing
with
the
gang
statues,
but
also
with
the
rico
statutes
as
well,
and
I
need
senior
personnel
to
work
with
me
and
don
and
another
senior
ada
kim
schwartz
and
getting
that
together
and
implementing
that
that
that
plan.
Y
I
I
know
from
my
understanding
I
have
a
meeting
later
this
week
with
chief
blackman.
I
believe,
they're
doing
something
similar
to
what
sheriff
countryman
is
working
on
too.
With
you
know,
game
unit
with
coming
through
with
the
police
department.
I
know
they
have
some
some
things
that
they'll
be
rolling
out,
so
I
want
to
have
those
senior
adas
available
and
ready
to
go
as
we
roll
out
these
new
things
and
also
trying
to
follow
with
the
initiatives
set
down
by
attorney
general
carr
and
also
governor
kemp
has
been
pressing.
B
Z
B
U
U
To
I
do
want
to
caution
council.
Typically,
when
someone
comes
and
asks
for
an
increase
in
their
budgeted
amount
in
the
budget,
we
put
it
on
an
ad
delete
list.
We
add
the
thousand
fifty
three
thousand
dollars
that
the
d.a
is
looking
for
and
we
delete
it
somewhere
else.
U
This
is
this
is
not
the
typical
thing
that
we
have
done
to
and-
and
I
understand
that
he
was
appointed
late.
May
I
understand
all
of
those
conditions.
U
I
just
want
us
to
be
very
careful
that
we
don't
set
the
wrong
standard
for
adding
or
deleting
from
council,
and
so
if
we
are
going,
if
we
are
going
to
move
53
000
into
the
da's
budget,
where
is
that
money
coming
from.
N
F
Well,
as
the
budget
chair
council
thomas
mentioned,
typically,
the
process
is
the
add
delete
list.
You
know
we
place
items
on
the
list
and
we
and
I
advise
the
budget
review
committee
on
the
council,
what
the
impact
of
that
is
and
so
putting
that
taking
that
into
consideration,
adding
the
fifty
three
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
six
dollars
to
the
list,
so
to
speak,
utilizing
reserves
that
would
be
point
zero.
Nine
days
currently,
the
general
fund
reserves
is
projected
at
61.99
days.
F
F
It'll
be
95.90
days,
I'm
sorry,
95.98
days,
general
fund
loss
reserves.
F
Right
so
from
a
long-term
standpoint,
I
do
I
mean,
with
the
amount
being
53
000.
You
know
we'll
likely
cover
that,
and
some
revenue
increases
possibly
next
year
as
you,
we
do
anticipate
some
increase,
obviously
to
the
digest.
We
don't
know
exactly
what
the
impact
of
that
would
be,
but
it
could
possibly
be
covered
with
that.
U
Mr
mayor,
I
do
know
that
from
the
old
loss
there
have
been
positions
in
the
district
attorney's
office
that
have
been
funded.
Yes,
yes,
because
when
we
implemented
the
olafs-
and
we
said
we're
going
to
have
these
additional
enforcers
on
the
street,
we're
going
to
need
people
to
take
care
of
of
the
caseload,
and
so
some
of
that
has
come
from
olaf.
M
G
The
people
I
represent
are
really
excited
that
you're
in
office
and
thank
you
they're
excited
because
they
feel
like
the
office
is
on
the
right
course
now
and
you're,
the
one
who
set
that
course
and
you're
in
charge
and
you're
going
to
be
tough
on
crime
and
they
want
to
see
crime
prosecuting
our
community,
and
I
know
you're
committed
to
that
in
getting
that
office
where
it
needs
to
be
to
be
be
effective
in
that
area,
and
I
think,
thank
you
sure
it's
my
job,
I'm
glad
you
came
today
because
people
want
to
hear
I
mean
they.
G
Y
Y
Thank
you
because
I
know,
but
sometimes
the
victim
witness
advocate
called
me,
actually
send
an
email
to
ms
yates
about
asking
about
this.
This
question,
because
I
guess
we
have
a
mixed
funding
with
vic
the
witness.
There
are
some
see
that
victor
witness
advocate
that
work
for
the
city,
and
then
there
are
some
that
that
work
by
by
grant
by
state
and
federal
grant,
and
then
also
I
have
my
my
five
secretaries
that
are
employed
by
the
city
that
have
to
cover
those
those
seven
judges
and
help
those
attorneys
get
those
cases
prepared.
Y
So
I
just
on
this
behalf
of
them.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
they're
included
in
the
in
the
study,
so
I
can
retain
them
as
well.
That
I
mean
obviously
the
ada's
are
very,
very
important,
but
but
sometimes
the
administrative
staff.
You
know,
like
you,
know
my
right-hand
person
over
there,
ms
yates.
Sometimes
they
get
because
they
just
see
me
here
and
they
see
the
attorneys
on
on
tv
and
trying
those
cases.
Y
But
sometimes
you
know
the
the
the
the
meat
of
the
work
and
the
bulk
of
the
work
is
handled
by
those
administrative
staff
and
they're,
very,
very,
very,
very,
very
important
to
me.
So
I
just
don't
want
to
you
know
just
I
totally
focus
on
my
adas
they're
very
important
as
well,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
the
the
staff
is
is
taken
care
of.
So
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
appreciate
your
time.
B
Thank
you,
council
crab,
hang
on.
J
City
attorney,
can
we
add
language
to
this
amendment
expressing
the
unique
situation
that
we're
in,
and
that
is
the
precedent
that
that
created
this
amendment,
just
so
in
the
future
when
they're
using
this
as
a
precedent,
we
there's
clarification
in
there
saying
why
we
made
this
exception
to
the
rule
and
we're
not
doing
this
to
set
a
precedent.
V
N
N
Who
could
handle
murder
cases
for
you
and
what
we
will
do
is
determine
a
cost
for
each
to
handle
the
murder
case
from
beginning
to
end.
We
were
that
desperate
to
get
cases
moved
so
so
I'm
saying
and
that
that
is
something
that's
unprecedented
unusual
that
we
were
so
desperate
for
our
attorneys
to
move
murder
cases
that
we
want
them
to
go.
Look
just
go
find,
whoever
that
you
think
can
come
and
with
experience
and
prosecute,
and
so
we
didn't
put
a
budget
on
it
because
it
was.
N
B
Has
the
da's
office
as
a
major
player
in
that,
if
the
da's
office
is
unable
to
do
the
job
that
they
are
asked
to
do
the
whole
system
bogs
down,
because
then
you
get
too
many
in
the
jail.
You
get
folks
that
are
being
released
on
bond.
You
get
more
crime
being
committed
by
these
guys
getting
back
on
the
streets.
It
is
a
critical
piece.
It's
we
told
people,
it's
like
a
line
of
dominoes.
You
pull
one
domino
out
and
everything
shuts
down.
B
V
D.A
jackson,
congratulations!
It's
such
an
exciting
time
for
us
for
you
to
be
our
new
ga.
I
really
look
forward
to
seeing
all
the
great
things
you
are
going
to
do,
but
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
you
talk
about
your
other
employees
besides
the
attorneys,
because
I'm
a
big
opponent
for
like
when
we
talk
about
public
safety.
Yes,
I
support
them
every
single
time,
but
I'm
always
behind
also
what
about
the
city
employees?
What
about
as.
V
D
V
Periodically
the
city
manager
gives
us
updates.
I've
been
here
for
28
years,
and
I
haven't
never
seen
anybody
give
us
an
update
from
the
da's
office
until
today,
and
crime
is
a
big
topic
for
everyone.
It's
something
they
use
for
political
to
put
fear
into
people
and
and
so
and
so
forth,
and
I
would
like
I'm
not
saying
you
have
to.
I
want
you
to
consider.
V
Happening
because
you
know
yes,
we
have
a
high
back
crime
rate.
Yes,
we
do,
but
it's
not
as
bad
as
texas
and
other
places
we
don't
have
massacre.
We
have
domestic
violence
and
gangs.
We
don't
have
that
strange
person
that
comes,
and
god
bless
us
and
do
all,
and
they
just
did
the
prayer
of
the
city,
which
was
amazing
to
see
all
the
different
nomination
of
the
churches
to
be
there
to
see
them
in
prayer
and
singing
together
was
amazing.
Y
Certainly
more
than
happy
to
that's
one
thing
that
I
wanted
to
dedicate
my
office
to
is
transparency
and
because
we've
gone
through
so
much
for
the
last,
you
know
several
years
with
the
transition
in
in
the
da's
office,
so
transparency
is
number
one,
so
I'll
be
happy
to
coordinate
with
city
managely
and
the
clerk
and
getting
on
the
schedule
and
and
coming
back
before
you
all
after.
Y
U
B
Okay

from
olaf's
reserve
all
in
favors
all
in
full

of
the
amendment
to
the
amendment.
First,
all
in
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
any
opposed
all
right
all
right
and
then
there's
a
motion
to
amend
the
budget
to
allow
that.
I'm
sorry,
okay,.
B
Over
here
she
throws
things
at
me.
If
I
get
out
of
line
there,
so
now
we'll
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
amendment
to
allow
that
funding
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
any
opposed
all.
D
M
You're
a
prize
to
be
on
board,
I
wanted
to
say,
and
I'm
glad
that
you
mentioned
what
the
chief
of
police
and
what
the
sheriff's
doing
so
that
our
viewing
audience
can
see
the
connection.
Yes,.
Y
Yes,
sir,
we're
that
I
believe
you
know
we
had
when
I
was
back
in
the
da's
office
in
the
early
2000s,
we
had
a
very,
very
close
relationship
with
the
police
department
and
sheriff's
department.
I
would
actually
one
of
the
the
homicide
investigators
actually
neighbor
of
mine
and
when
there
was
something
that
went
down,
you
just
come
by
the
house
and
we
talk
about
search
warrants
or
whatever
we
needed
to
do
so.
Now
that
I've
come
back
in
the
office,
I
want
to
build
back
that
relationship.
Y
That's
been
missing
for
several
years,
like
I
said,
I've
already
met
with
sheriff
countryman
personally.
He
and
I-
and
I
have
a
meeting
this
week
with
chief
blackman-
to
work
on
developing
that
relationship
as
well
with
the
assistant
district
attorneys
myself,
the
police
department
and
sheriff's
department.
So
we
can
work
in
in
unison
and
in
harmony
with
one
another
and
develop
these
programs,
and
then
the
investigative
techniques
and
tools
that
we're
going
to
use
to
fight
crime
in
our
community.
So
we're
we're
we're
already
making
advances
toward
that
already.
B
F
Well,
just
one
correction,
then,
with
the
addition
of
the
old
loss
reserves,
so
the
general
fund
projection.
As
far
as
the
fund
balance
days
remains
at
61.99
days,
o
loss
will
be
revised
to
33.99
days
for
a
total
of
95.98
days.
E
E
All
right
we're
still
in
a
hearing
public
hearing.
First.
D
K
Yeah
stacy:
I
love
that
man
platonically
I've
known
him
for
over
a
decade
and
out
on
the
baseball
field
in
northern
little
league
and
he
also
contributed
to
zach
foster
who's,
my
grandson.
They
won
the
11th
and
12
year
old
state
championships,
so
he
and
I
have
had
rapport
and
a
friendship
for
a
long
time
he's
not
only
a
competent
d.a,
but
he's
got
a
good
soul,
so
you
guys
are
really
lucky
to
have
that
man
number
two.
K
When
it
comes
to
the
accepting
the
budget,
I
have
to
air
with
isaiah
hughley,
because
when
he
says
his
82
thousand
and
he
compares
albany
is
making
the
corner
there.
Making
65,
000
and
buddy
brian
is
making
60.
000
and
albany
is
half
the
population
of
columbus,
like
bobby
peters,
our
former
mayor
used
to
say
it's
a
no-brainer
poll.
Well,
this
is
a
no-brainer.
K
K
Is
he
a
department
head
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken
many
years
ago,
you
guys
went
into
executive
session
to
give
department
heads
a
healthy
pay
raise
okay,
I
think
he
should
have
been
one
of
them,
because,
honestly
the
lag
is
behind
and
if
we
want
to
keep
somebody
with
that
kind
of
credibility,
the
only
way
we
can
do
it
is
and
again
it'll
be
coming
from
the
olofs
in
that
respect
or
you've
already
have
it
in
the
in
the
budget
itself.
It's
for
public
safety.
K
So
that's
the
way
you
spend
your
money
right,
but
you
need
to
start
listening
to
isaiah
heavily
a
little
bit
more
in
that
respect
there.
Some
of
the
city
council,
people
who
have
grievances
with
that.
You
need
to
really
pay
attention
because
he's
already
done
the
homework.
Okay,
god
bless.
You.
B
E
That'll
conclude
the
first
reading
hearing
on
the
operating
budget
for
fy23.
We
move
on
down
the
business
item
list.
The
next
next
item
is
an
ordinance
adopting
non-operating
budgets
for
fy
23
for
various
funds,
such
as
the
arp
grants
from
washington,
the
t,
splash
lost,
etc.
Are
there
any
questions
about
that
around
the
table?
E
Yes,
okay.
We'll
bring
that
back
for
a
vote
next
week,
then
we're
going
to
call
the
next
four
together
mayor.
These
are
ordinances
annually,
providing
for
contributions
to
the
columbus
georgia,
general
government,
employee
pension
plan,
public
safety,
pension
plan,
the
major
disability
income
plan
and
the
death
benefit
escrow
plan
recommended
by
the
actuary.
E
B
E
B
D
B
E
B
Okay
and
before
we
go
to
the
public
agenda,
I
think
councilor
woodson
wanted
to
make
a
comment.
V
Yes,
city
manager-
I
know
we
had
spoke
before
so
I'm
just
making
this
request,
I'm
just
making
this
request
again.
I
thought
they're
in
the
pace
study
that
we
were
doing.
Language
differential
was
going
to
be
in
it
and
during
our
conversation,
that
is
not
part
of
the
pace
study.
V
F
I
was
just
going
to
say
the
evergreen,
that's
the
consultant
that
we
have
on
the
contract
for
the
paying
compensation
study
and
all
those
differentials
like
the
ones
that
you
mentioned.
There
are
others
that
have
been
mentioned
by
other
departments.
All
of
those
sorts
of
things
are
still
being
vetted.
V
Oh
so
they're,
looking
into
that
too,
oh
okay
see
I
was
under
and
then
that
was
my
misunderstanding.
I
thought
they
were
just
looking
at.
You
know
just
the
pay
increases,
and
that
said
no.
V
B
All
right
we'll
move
to
the
public
agenda.
Mr
olsen
paul
olsen.
K
You
know
I've
spoke
about
this
issue
time
and
time
again
until
I'm
blue
in
the
face
back
in
1992,
we
gave
up
basically
the
medical
center
we
used
to
own
it,
the
citizens
of
columbus
and
former
frank
martin
resolution
282-92
and
basically
made
a
contract
for
30
years.
K
It's
up
this
year
june,
30th
2022.,
hope
we
never
see
them
again
and
and
the
reason
why
I
say
that
is
because
they
were
charging
110
for
entry
to
care
for
our
prisoners
and
not
until
I
brought
it
to
their
attention
and
under
mayor
tomlinson.
They
changed
it
under
resolution
180-14..
K
And
if
anybody
wants
to
look
for
these
resolutions,
all
you
got
to
do
is
go
to
clericalcounsel
on
the
www.columbusga.org
hit
in
the
resolution.
Look
it
up
for
yourself
read
the
contract,
it
was
a
unilateral
contract,
it
only
sided
with
columbus,
regional.
We
basically
was
kicked
to
the
curb
and
the
reason
why
I
say
that
is
in
2015.
They
were
fined.
K
35
million
dollars
for
overcharging
cancer
patients-
and
the
thing
is,
is
that
when
you
overcharge
cancer
patients,
I
mean
hell,
isn't
deep
enough
for
you,
I'm
just
being
honest
with
you
and
for
to
make
restitution
of
35
million.
That
means
that
they
they
stole
even
more
and
they
defrauded
the
government
should
have
ended
the
contract
then,
and
there
we
don't
need
to
renew
it
with
them
ever
again.
K
K
It
says
for
the
purpose
of
using
such
patil
facilities,
any
city
or
county
is
authorized
by
action
of
its
governing
body
to
enter
into
contracts
with
an
authority
of
such
periods,
which
is
the
hospital
authority
up
to
40
years
and
where
the
one
mill
it
comes
from
is
in
order
to
make
that
contract.
You
have
to
have
at
least
one
mill,
but
by
georgia
statute
laws.
We
don't
even
have
a
contract
at
all.
K
Basically
how
its
true
intent
was
is
to
actually
provide
internet
care
for
mental
health,
because
most
people
go
to
prison,
they
have
mental
health
issues,
they
have
family
problems
and
that's
why
they're
in
prison
in
the
first
place?
Okay,
so
we
got
to
help
those
people
in
order
to
kind
of
you
know,
make
them
a
better
citizen
and
come
out
in
into
the
world
itself,
but
one
intent
was,
is
not
to
go
out
and
purchase.
Other
hospitals
like
columbus,
regional
bot,
doctors,
hospital,
john
b,
amos
cancer
center
houston
clinic.
K
K
You
have
to
have
300
000,
just
to
even
be
in
that
place,
so
they're
far
from
being
qualifying
for
engineering,
but
our
superior
court
judges
ruled
it
that
way,
and
I
have
some
problems
and
I
could
actually
air
some
of
the
issues
that
basically
would
probably
put
them
in
jail.
But
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
here,
but
I'm
just
telling
you
right
now.
Some
of
this
stuff
is
really
truly
illegal.
K
So
when
you
take
an
oath
to
uphold
the
city
charter
and
both
of
those
contracts
in
282-92
and
180-14,
hardy
polly's
would
not
sign
it
he's
the
city
attorney
according
to
the
city
charter.
In
order
for
a
valid
contract
to
be
valid,
it
has
to
have
the
signature
of
the
city
attorney.
Clifton
faye
did
not
sign
it
miller.
The
clerk
of
council
signed
that
resolution
and
sander
davis
signed
the
other
one
they're
good
people.
K
They
were
not
the
people
that
they
needed
to
have
sign
and
say
this
is
the
way
it
is
so
in
order
to
uphold
the
city
charter
right
as
city
councilman
and
mayor.
I'm
saying
to
you,
don't
go
down
this
road
do
not
ever
even
think
about
doing
that,
making
another
contract
with
them
and
if
you
were
to
do
anything
dedicated
towards
the
the
prisoners
and
at
the
same
time
we
need
to
have
two
of
those
mills
in
property:
tax
relief,
roll
back!
K
B
All
right,
we'll
move
to
the
city
manager's
agenda,
all
right.
N
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
am
going
to
go
out
of
order
on
my
agenda
this
morning.
I've
got
elizabeth
walden,
the
executive
director
of
historic
columbus
here,
and
she
has
a
board
meeting
at
noon.
I
believe,
and
so
I'm
going
to
move
that
update
up
to
allow
her
to
get
to
her
board
meeting
she's
going
to
do
a
heritage
park
update
and
so
elizabeth
walden,
I'm
going
to
call
on
her
at
this
time.
AA
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
allowing
us
to
be
here,
on
behalf
of
historic
columbus,
to
present
this
potential
project.
To
you
all.
I
also
want
to
introduce
justin
krieg,
who
is
with
historic,
columbus
he's
also
with
me
today,
because
this
will
be
the
first
time
that
some
of
the
public
will
hear
about
this
project
involving
heritage
park
and
the
chattahoochee
promenade.
I
do
want
to
provide
a
recap
of
how
we
got
here
then,
along
with
a
description
of
the
overall
project,
along
with
some
some
visuals.
AA
Heritage
park
was
completed,
which
is
located
on
broadway
and
7th
street.
It
was
completed
in
1999
as
a
celebration
of
the
industrial
history
of
the
chattahoochee
valley.
It
was
funded
by
historic,
columbus,
along
with
private
foundations
and
individual
donor
families,
and
over
2.2
million
dollars
was
raised
by
virginia
peoples
in
matt.
Swift
at
its
completion
heritage
park
was
deeded
to
the
columbus
consolidated
government
in
2000.
AA
AA
The
large
water
feature
that
is
a
part
of
heritage
park,
was
no
longer
functioning.
Historic.
Columbus
worked
with
the
parks
and
rec
staff
to
obtain
estimates,
and
at
first
it
was
thought
about.
80
000
would
be
able
to
properly
repair
the
pumps,
but
further
investigation
from
professionals
made
us
all
realize
that
a
total
redesign
and
new
pump
system
would
be
needed
with
a
cost
of
about
250
to
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
AA
Parks
and
rec
also
attempted,
over
the
course
of
several
years
to
secure
these
funds
through
the
city's
budgeting
process,
but
was
ultimately
unsuccessful
in
further
discussion
of
trying
to
figure
this
all
out.
The
main
concern
expressed
by
both
historic,
columbus
and
city
administrative
staff
was
future
maintenance.
AA
The
fear
and
probable
reality
would
be
that
we
will
be
end
up
back
up
in
the
same
situation
about
every
three
to
five
years.
Once
again,
looking
at
another
significant
investment
for
the
water
feature,
so
the
question
became
while
replacing
the
pump
system
and
fixing
design
issues
would
be
the
simplest
solution.
Would
it
be
the
best
one?
AA
That
was
the
question
posed
to
the
historic
columbus
board
of
directors
and
they
responded
with
the
history
told
within
heritage
park
is
a
priority
for
us
and
we
have
a
responsibility
to
the
original
donors
and
to
the
neighborhood.
So
let's
look
at
alternatives
and
that's
exactly
what
we
did
when
you're
down
at
heritage
park.
AA
AA
AA
So
it's
not
just
one
community
asset,
that's
struggling.
It's
two.
We
met
with
many
of
the
original
donors.
We've
also
spoken
with
the
historic
district
preservation
society
and
several
of
the
individual
homeowners
within
the
historic
district,
and
we
began
talking
about
the
hope
of
this
concept
with
the
city
about
a
year
ago.
So
here
we
are
today.
AA
AA
The
overall
concept
is
to
revitalize
the
promenade
and
expand
the
history
of
our
city,
return,
the
heritage
park,
property
to
residential
use
and
save
five
endangered
historic
properties,
including
the
historic
house.
That's
currently
located
on
the
promenade
property.
The
project
would
be
completed
in
an
18-month
time
frame
following
these
steps
by
historic
columbus
number.
AA
One
request:
the
return
of
the
heritage
park,
property
to
historic,
columbus
ownership,
number
two
conduct
a
public
meeting
on
monday
june
27th
and
present
the
vision
of
the
overall
project
for
feedback
and
to
get
participation
in
a
public
survey
for
the
chat.
Excuse
me
for
the
promenade,
specifically
the
survey
and
the
project
will
be
up
on
historic
columbus's
website
before
the
end
of
this
week.
AA
AA
The
aerial
here
on
the
on
the
screen
is
of
the
parcel
layout.
You
see
it
shows
the
five
houses
being
placed
on
the
current
boundaries
of
the
heritage
park
site
with
broadway
at
the
top
of
your
screen
front
avenue
to
the
bottom
and
7th
street.
On
the
right
hand,
side
this
configuration
places
two
homes
on
broadway,
two
on
front
and
one
on
seventh,
and
this
configuration
is
very
typical,
a
lot
of
the
of
several
of
the
block-ins
within
the
original
city.
So
this
is
not.
This
is
a
fairly
typical
pattern.
AA
They
are
at
risk,
although
historic
westville
would
prefer
to
incorporate
the
structures
into
its
own
long-term,
interpretive
plan.
Their
current
funding
does
not
allow
for
that
preference
to
be
realized,
so
the
opportunity
to
protect
the
structures
through
a
partnership
in
this
project
became
the
best
solution
for
their
survival.
AA
AA
The
final
structure
is
one
that
you
are
all
familiar
with
down
at
the
bottom
and
it's
the
house,
that's
located
on
the
promenade
itself
and
it
was
moved
to
this
spot
from
across
the
street
originally
and
in
order
to
save
it
for
the
first
time
in
1976
and
it
served
as
the
headquarters
of
keep
columbus
beautiful
for
many
years
when
they
moved
out
the
house
sat
vacant
for
a
while
and
historic
columbus
approached
you
all
about
the
possibility
of
renting
it
out
and
maintaining
it
which
we
have
for
about
the
past
five
years,
and
it
would
be
the
final
piece
in
this
puzzle
and
it
is
also
about
an
1880s
victorian
home
as
well.
AA
AA
AA
This
is
the
moy
house
from
westfield
as
well,
and
this
perspective
is
from
7th
street
and
then
this
last
perspective
is
on
front
avenue
and
it's
the
juniper
house,
that
is
on
the
right-hand
side
and
then
the
promenade
house.
On
the
left-hand
side,
all
five
of
these
architecturally
appropriate
houses
will
provide
compatible
infill
for
the
historic
district
streetscape
and
once
moved.
The
five
houses
would
then
be
stabilized
and
sold
into
sympathetic
hands
to
complete
the
renovation
work
to
become
single-family
homes.
AA
AA
AA
AA
These
visuals
for
the
chattahoochee
promenade
that
you're
about
to
see
are
still
in
concept
form.
The
feedback
produced
by
the
survey
will
help
refine
the
plans
and
make
the
chattahoochee
promenade
a
better
public
space.
We
are
also
continuing
to
work
with
csu
and
foundation
properties
on
the
possible
expansion
of
the
coca-cola
space
science
center.
Their
plans
have
not
been
finalized
yet
so
what
you
will
see
is
a
depiction
of
a
potential
of
a
design.
AA
The
elements
from
heritage
park
would
be
relocated
into
the
existing
victorian
walled
garden,
which
is
that
rectangular
space
and
the
log
cabin
that
is
currently
at
heritage
park,
along
with
the
brick
kiln,
would
also
those
big
structures
would
also
be
moved
as
well.
The
brick
kiln
is
depicted
located
south
of
the
walled
garden
and
then
the
log
cabin
located
to
the
north.
AA
Excuse
me,
this
is
the
a
proposed
location
for
the
log
cabin
which
would
be
to
the
north
of
the
walled
garden
with
the
industrial
elements,
and
this
would
be
where
the
history
trail
would
start
with
appropriate
interpretation
of
our
native
american
history
and
how
columbus
came
to
be
and
then
finally,
another
overview
of
the
promenade.
AA
Historic
columbus
will
be
funding
the
entire
project
with
cash.
We
have
on
hand
in
the
range
of
between
two
and
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
Proceeds
from
the
sale
of
the
houses
would
then
go
back
into
historic
columbus's
revolving
redevelopment
fund
so
that
we
can
continue
to
do
more
preservation
projects.
AA
AA
So,
what's
the
bottom
line
of
this
thing
for
everyone,
how
does
the
city
benefit
number
one?
The
city
will
reduce
its
cost
with
the
transfer
of
the
heritage
park
property
to
historic
columbus.
At
present,
the
city
is
responsible
for
all
maintenance
of
heritage
park.
With
the
proposed
transfer,
the
city
will
no
longer
have
those
costs
included
in
its
overall
park
maintenance
budget,
historic
columbus
will
take
over
the
responsibilities
and
costs
associated
with
maintaining
and
repairing
the
relocated
and
expanded
historical
historical
elements
on
the
promenade
number
two.
AA
As
I
mentioned
in
the
overview,
historic
columbus
has
put
together
a
public
survey
to
get
information
from
the
neighborhood
and
the
community
at
the
public
meeting
that
will
be
on
historic
columbus's
website.
We
need
more
information
and
about
how
the
public
and
the
neighborhood
currently
use
the
promenade
and
how
they
would
like
to
use
it.
The
information
will
help
solidify
that
final
vision.
AA
V
AA
All
of
those
elements
will
go
inside
the
wall.
The
current
walled,
victorian
garden.
That's
on
the
promenade.
It's
located
to
the
south
right
behind
where
the
promenade
house
is
okay,
so
it'll,
so
the
majority
of
the
the
simple
statues,
meaning
not
something
as
large
as
the
kiln.
D
AA
AA
Yes,
most
definitely
we're
also
putting
all
of
that
information
on
our
website
and
we'll
also
be
sharing
that
with
our
social
media
and
putting
including
that
also
on
the
historic
district's
facebook
page
as
well.
V
Okay
and
thank
you
for
answering
the
concerns
about
the
rental
property
because
I've
already
started
getting
calls
about
that.
Oh
I'm
sure
that
you.
AA
AA
And
this
is
a
part
of
that,
and
and
so
we
want
to
do
what's.
D
J
Thank
you.
This
is
an
exciting
project.
What
and
thank
you
for
that
presentation?
Do
we
make
a
motion
to
move
forward
on
it.
N
At
this
time,
well,
let
me
tell
you
how
we
have
this
the
timeline,
and
so
there's
a
public
survey
and
on
june
27th
is
a
public
hearing
on
july
12th
we're
going
to
come
back
to
council
and
update
you
and
tell
you
what
came
out
of
that
public
hearing
and
and
then
on
july
26.
N
AB
W
Good
morning
afternoon,
what
time
is
it
good
morning
still
morning?
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
to
you
and
your
board
and
justin
creek
and
everybody
that's
worked
along
with
this.
I
was
just
fascinated
in
seeing
the
concepts,
the
drawings,
the
picture
you
painted
when
we
spoke
it
came
out
and
I
saw
everything
just
kind
of
replayed,
so
yeah
you
did
a
great
job,
great
job.
W
I
rode
through
there
I
think,
friday,
friday
or
saturday,
just
riding
to
try
to
imagine
moving
the
pieces
and
it's
going
to
be
quite
quite
quite
a
concept
when
it's
finished
yeah
and
the
fact
that
the
river
will
be
viewable,
I
think,
will
enhance
the
whole
concept
of
stopping
and
reading
and
understanding
the
history
and
different
things
that
have
gone
on
down
there.
So
thank
you
continue
your
hard
work
and
hopefully
I'll
be
pressing
on
the
27th.
B
AA
D
N
B
N
Yes,
and
so,
as
you
know,
the
contract
with
them
expires
june
30th
this
year
and
in
order
for
piedmont
to
continue
to
utilize
the
340b
prescription
program
to
provide
discounted
drugs
to
indigent
persons.
They
need
an
agreement
in
place
by
july
1st,
and
so
that
is
what
this
is
about.
The
340b
for
prescriptions
for
discounted
drugs
for
indigent
persons
item
number
two:
do
we
we
didn't
complete.
N
J
N
No
obviously,
in
order
to
qualify
for
these
discounts
on
these
drugs
for
indigent
care
persons,
they
they
they've,
got
to
apply
by
july
1st,
but
they've
got
to
have
a
contract
with
us.
We
don't,
they
won't,
have
a
contract
because
we're
going
through
an
rfp
process
and
so
they're
just
getting
this
in
line,
because
they
do
anticipate
that
they're
going
to
be
in
that
rfp
process,
and
maybe
one
of
multiple
vendors
that
we
approve.
Okay,
and
so
they.
N
So
number
two
is
our
457
deferred
comp
plan
asking
approval
to
update
the
custodial
account
with
motivation.
N
And
number
three
is
a
lease
agreement
with
sonova's
bank
well,.
B
Registered
so
we're
missing
accounts
for
house
and.
P
V
B
Second,
there's
a
motion
second
to
approve.
I
didn't
hear
that
all
any
other
discussion,
please
cue
it
counselors
registry
votes
and.
N
There
we
go
and
number
four
is
with
a
for
election
and
registration
approval
is
requested
to
apply
for
a
grant
for
this
from
the
state
of
georgia.
B
V
B
B
N
N
F
I
apologize
the
volume
isn't
up
back
there.
I
couldn't
hear
it,
but
as
a
city
manager,
hello
again
as
city
manager
mentioned,
the
engineering
department
is
here
pursuant
to
ordinance
13-39,
which
says
that
if
a
department
is
expected
to
exceed
appropriations
budget
appropriations,
they
must
come
before
this
council
and
request
additional
appropriations
for
the
engineering
department
there
were.
F
F
You
know
some
supply
chain
issues,
making
sure
that
they
had
orders
in
place
to
have
the
materials
on
hand
due
to
you
know,
accidents,
disasters
due
to
weather
and
so
forth,
and
so
we're
at
that
point
now,
where
we
just
you
know,
can't
transfer
any
more
money
around
in
the
general
fund
in
the
traffic
engineering
budget,
and
so
it's
really
due
to
the
you
know
the
cost
of
materials.
You
know
for
those
that
reasons
that
I
mentioned,
that
we'll
need
about
another
85
000
in
the
engineering
department.
F
N
And
then
mayor
pro
tem
we've
got
the
golf
authority.
F
And
so
jim
is
here
you
know,
as
as
jim
mentioned,
in
a
prior
meeting,
you
know
the
golf
authority
is
doing
good
business
out
at
the
golf
courses.
F
I
do
plan
to
do
a
finance
update
next
week
in
terms
of
the
revenues
for
the
golf
courses,
but
you
know
at
oxbow
we're
just
there's
a
lot
going
on
out
there
in
terms
of
the
operations
increases
that
we're
seeing
in
the
revenues
and
they
actually
were
able
to
carry
over
really
for
the
first
time
since
I've
been
here
reserves
from
fiscal
year
21
in
terms
of
having
cash
on
hand
to
assist
with
operations
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
F
Also,
the
the
supplement
that
they
typically
received
from
the
general
fund
was
it
wasn't
necessary
as
we
ended
fy21,
we
don't
anticipate
that'll,
be
necessary
as
we
enfy
22.,
and
so
now
we're
at
that
point
where
we
have.
You
know
three
years
of
data,
we'll
know
for
sure,
as
we
approach
fy23,
where
that
subsidy
would
be
required
as
we
go
into
fy24,
but
the
golf
authority
is
here
today
really
to
ask
to
exceed
budgeted
appropriations
again.
It's
one
of
those
situations
where
they're
an
enterprise
fund,
so
they
have
revenues
and
reserves
to
support
operations.
F
The
there's
some
equipment
that
jim
would
like
the
golf
authority
would
like
to
purchase
and
it
is
beneficial
to
us
to
buy
this
equipment
outright
as
opposed
to
trying
to
lease
it
over
an
extended
period
of
time.
We
actually
save
some
money
in
terms
of
the
interest
cost
to
go
ahead
and
buy
the
equipment
equipment.
F
They
do
have
adequate
reserves
to
cover
the
cost
of
the
equipment.
Bull
creek
has
about
250
000
in
reserves
right
now,
oxbow
creek
about
75
000,
and
so
the
golf
authority
like
again,
would
like
to
utilize
some
reserves
to
okay.
So
the
amount.
B
All
right
that
motion,
I
believe,
still
stands
along
with
its
second.
So
is
there
any
other
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye.
Anyone
opposed
very
good.
I
will
I'll
tell
on
mayor
pro
tem
over
here.
He
he
thought
that
was
we're
not
used
to
hearing
the
golf
course
and
reserves
in
the
same
sentence:
yeah
outstanding
job.
Please
thank
your
authority
for
us
for
the
work
they're
doing.
Thank.
N
AC
AC
AC
If
you
like,
I
can,
I
can
just
kind
of
go
through
if
you're
not
able
to
find
it.
I
can
go
through
metra's,
we
did
update
council
november
30th,
and
so
it's
just
a
recap.
AC
Okay,
so
this
service
that
metro
will
be
providing
is
a
demand
response
service
where
similar
to
the
health
department
that
where
we
have
citizens,
will
call
and
reserve
a
time
for
to
be
to
be
transported,
and
so
the
new
va
clinic,
of
course,
is
at
69
10
river
road,
which
is
out
near
mobley
intersection.
AC
The
demand
response
service
will
transport
citizens
from
our
transfer
center
directly
to
the
new
veterans
affairs
location.
So
I
won't
go
through
all
of
the
timelines,
but
we
did
meet
with
the
veterans
affairs
went
out
and
and
there
we
go
so
we
go
through
it.
Okay,
let's
go
back,
so
that's
the
timeline
back
in
january
last
year
we
started
the
planning
of
this.
We
communicated
with
the
va
staff
april
and
may,
and
we
had
our
first
site
tour
of
the
new
facility
back
in
july,
and
then
we
had
further
discussion.
AC
August
and
september
we
talked
with
the
city
manager,
deputy
city
manager
in
november,
and
then
we
went
back
to
the
facility
to
look
at
all
of
the
different
additions
and
upgrades
in
november.
We
came
to
council
here
to
update
you
in
november
and
of
course
today,
we're
doing
our
final
update
to
you.
AC
The
next
step
for
metra,
which
is
really
big,
is
the
community
outreach
and
public
engagement
and
we're
going
to
be
meeting
with
different
agencies
and
putting
it
out
on
social
media
everywhere.
We
can
get
it
out
the
word
and
working
with
the
va
staff
to
get
the
word
out
all
of
this
month
through
august,
and
they
will
talk
here
shortly
on
their
soft
opening
and
the
grand
opening
which
is
coming
up
here
in
july.
AC
AC
Trip
is
the
last
trip
that
will
leave
our
transfer
center
going
to
the
va
to
pick
up
any
anyone
who
may
have
that's
their
last
appointment,
because
the
center,
as
I
understand,
closes
at
five
o'clock
and
citizens
can
schedule
trips
with
metra
one
to
seven
days
in
advance.
So
if
they
have
an
appointment
a
week
out,
they
know
what
their
appointment
is.
They
can
call
us
and
schedule
a
time
that
they're
going
to
be
riding
the
shuttle
from
metra.
AC
The
fare
is
two
dollars
and
50
cents
each
way,
and
this
service
does
not
qualify
for
reduced
fares.
So
it's
similar
to
our
our
service
of
dalaray,
where
it's
2.50
each
way
the
service
is
only
provided
if
there's
a
scheduled
trip
for
a
designated
time,
and
so
this
slide
gives
you
the
designated
times.
AC
And
I
see
that's
that's
about
it
as
far
as
metras,
we
have
the
number
there
for
citizens
to
call
the
706-225-4581.
AC
AC
They
have
the
soft
opening
the
soft
opening
we
will
be
prepared.
Yes
thanks,
so
I
think
on
the
30th
you
we
did
tell
you
that
we
would
ask
the
va
to
come
back,
because
there
may
be
questions
you
would
have
of
them
and
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
answer
so
today.
Miss
prudence,
howard,
hey!
How
are
you
nice
to
meet
you?
I've
been
talking
with
other
staffs
with
the
va,
mr
garrett.
Miss
phaedra,
pedry
who've
been
great.
So
thank
you
for
coming.
Thank
you
for
having
me.
I
AD
I
AD
AD
We
are
proud
to
officially
have
our
official
sign
up,
so
we're
still
adding
some
finishing
touches,
but
we
are
definitely
on
our
way
to
being
ready
for
the
for
the
clinic
opening
again,
our
soft
opening
is
on
july
11th.
That's
when
we're
going
to
see
our
first
veteran
and
on
july,
22nd
is
our
grand
opening
and
all
of
you
are
invited.
AD
We
have
305
parking
spaces
and
shuttles
will
transport
veterans
between
the
local
va
clinics
and
the
tuskegee
campus
and
the
schedule
will
start
at
the
porta
chef
clinic
at
seven
o'clock
in
the
morning.
All
we
have
aside
from
primary
care.
We
also
have
telehealth
specialties.
We
have
state-of-the-art
women
facilities,
we
are
also
going
to
have
radiology.
AD
B
Yes,
ma'am
councillor
barnes.
M
Rosa,
as
always,
metro
does
a
great
job.
Could
you
email
me
that
scheduled
transportation
schedule?
Thank.
M
P
Council
house,
thank
you
very
much,
miss
howard.
When
you
mentioned,
where
the
va
would
provide
transportation
between
clinics
and
tuskegee,
I
know
now.
Veterans
sometimes
have
to
go
to
montgomery.
Are
you
anticipating?
Nobody
have
to
go
to
montgomery
because
of
the
clinics
that
are
going
to
be
here
or
will
you
provide
transportation
transportation
to
montgomery
if
required,.
AD
AD
Yes,
but
should
you
know,
of
course,
should
they
have
to?
They
can
always
have
our
veteran
transportation
service
actually
put
in
a
consult
and
actually
bring
them
to
montgomery
as
well.
Okay,.
B
I've
got
I've
got
a
quick
question
too,
with
that
you've
got
such
a
broad
range
of
care
that
is
being
provided,
particularly
from
the
new
clinic,
which
is
exciting.
You
mentioned
like
audiology.
B
M
Am
so
grateful
that
there
is
a
section
for
our
female
veterans,
that's
huge
with
a
capital
h,
you
know
for
years
our
female
veterans
were
not
given
the
amount
of
tension
as
far
as
compensation,
as
far
as
the
many
specific
female
problems
incurred
through
military
service
and
I'm
so
glad
that
was
one
of
the
biggest
things
and
in
fact,
councilman
davis
and
I
early
on
when
they
were
talking
about
it.
M
It's
huge
and
I
just
want
to
say
can't
wait
to
the
opening
it's
state-of-the-art
and
the
entire
military
community
here
is
extremely
excited
about
it,
and
so
thank
you
so
very
much
for
for
coming
here
and
and
speaking
to
us.
This
is
huge.
Thank
you,
sir.
M
And
to
piggyback
on
what
counselor
house
was
saying,
we
will
not
have
to
go
is
am
I
is
that
is
this.
Is
this
what
I
mean
is
this?
What
I'm
about
to
do
a
big
hallelujah
right
now
that
we
won't
have
to
go
to
tuskegee?
M
B
Q
Yeah
he
was
going
to
mention.
I
have
to
go
to
montgomery
for
the
sleep
apnea
clinic.
Yes,
will
there
be
a
sleep
apnea
portion
at
the
new
hospital?
Unfortunately,.
AD
AD
Q
Okay,
so
that's
that's
what
I
was
going
to
say:
most
things
will
probably
be
here,
but-
and
we
have
a
lot
of
people
with
sleep
apnea,
so
yeah
so,
but
thank
you
I'm
appreciative.
I'm
happy
that
we
have
a
clinic
and
also
just
to
let
veterans
know
that
we
do
get
reimbursed
for
our
travel
so
and-
and
you
can
just
do
it
right
there
at
the
kiosk
when
you
do
have
to
travel
to
montgomery
and
tuskegee
and.
N
N
AB
One
of
the
primary
things
that
we've
been
working
on
is
the
south
commons
renovations
project,
I'm
very
fortunate
to
have
our
current
board
chair
herman
lewis,
with
us
today,
as
well
as
our
immediate
past,
chair
kim
sheik,
who
led
our
capital
campaign
effort
and
the
sal
commons
project.
So
we
want
to
thank
both
of
them
for
being
here.
It
just
shows
the
commitment
that
our
board
has
for
our
mission
and
supporting
this
community.
AB
So
when
we
started
this
project
in
2017,
our
original
goal
was
5.6
million.
But,
as
you
see
on
the
screen,
our
improvement
total
invested
to
date
is
over
5.9
million
and
we
are
happy
to
announce
that
we
are
getting
ready
to
start
our
final
phase
of
investment
at
south
commons
with
a
little
over
a
million
dollars
to
complete
the
led
field
lighting
on
the
five
fields
around
the
hub.
So
we're
excited
that
that's
going
to
happen.
AB
AB
In
our
phase
two
of
renovations,
using
that
wi-fi
and
that
fiber
technology,
we
installed
cameras
on
all
eight
fields
which
allowed
for
streaming
of
all
of
our
games,
so
that
grandparents
and
parents
didn't
have
to
travel
into,
especially
during
covid
that
they
could
watch
safely
from
home.
We
added
a
batting
cage
facility
which
has
greatly
improved
the
facility
and
allowing
the
teams
to
warm
up
and
have
that
indoor
space.
AB
AB
We
do
the
amazing
columbus,
which
leads
to
the
columbus
ga.gov
website,
as
well
as
the
sports
council
in
parks
and
recreation,
so
to
get
our
messaging
out
and
so
that
other
visitors,
other
users,
softball
enthusiasts,
are
able
to
see
our
facility
and
get
resources
right
there,
just
a
click
away
as
we
improve
cell
commons.
The
field
lighting
that
we're
looking
at
for
the
final
phase
is
around
the
five
fields
that
I
mentioned,
and
this
is
just
a
diagram
of
what
that's
going
to
look
like.
AB
My
screen
went
away
here,
so
I'm
having
to
look
up
okay,
some
of
the
events
that
we
have
booked
because
of
these
renovations
and
we've
been
able
to
extend
agreements
that
equates
to
over
5.6
million
dollars
in
visitor
spending
for
our
city.
So
these
renovations
are
really
having
a
great
impact
on
us
to
be
able
to
recruit
these
events,
to
keep
them
here
in
our
city
and
to
provide
that
economic
impact
to
the
city.
So
in
2021,
our
south
commons
estimated
impact
was
a
little
over
8.6
million.
AB
We
are
projecting,
excuse
me
9.7
million
for
this
year,
so
we're
seeing
that
increase,
which
is
very
important.
We
also
do
a
lot
of
work
throughout
the
city.
South
commons
is
not
the
only
facility
that
we
utilize
to
bring
sports
tourism
and
sports
visitors
to
our
city.
We
utilized
the
columbus
convention
and
trade
center.
We
hosted
the
georgia
high
school
state
dance
championships.
AB
We
brought
american
grappling
federation
to
the
city
and
then
one
thing
that
we've
partnered
on
for
this
summer
is
the
pickleball
association
having
a
beat
the
heat
tournament
inside
the
convention
center,
so
you'll
see
the
south
hall
north
hall
and
center
hall
transformed
into
pickleball
courts.
For
this
event,
the
columbus
aquatic
center.
AB
Just
one
quick
note:
the
naia
swimming
and
diving
event
that
we
started
in
2016
we've
hosted
numerous
times
that
event
alone
has
had
a
2.8
million
dollar
economic
impact
to
our
city,
which
has
also
led
to
other
business
we're
able
to,
but
the
sun
conference
and
the
suncoast
conference
swim
championships
as
well
as
some
others
that
we
are
recruiting
currently
because
of
that
resume
builder,
because
having
that
naia
that
national
exposure
and
hosting
that
major
event,
we
support
numerous
events
all
over
the
city.
AB
AB
So
for
fy
2022
we
are
projecting
our
fy
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
that
will
have
over
28
000
participants
who
have
come
through
columbus
and
our
spectators
over
78
000,
which
equates
to
a
little
over
42
000
room
nights
for
the
fiscal
year
having
a
an
estimated
economic
impact
of
over
16
million
dollars
to
our
city,
and
this
is
all
through
visitor
spending.
So
this
is
all
new
money
coming
into
our
economy.
AB
AB
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
this
past
year,
we
really
looked
at
how
we
can
align
our
mission
with
some
of
the
city
initiatives
and
one
of
those
things
is
a
workforce
development
initiative
and
the
reason
it
fits
so
closely
with
the
sports
council
is
because
it
is
economic
development
and
bringing
visitors
here
through
this
unique
opportunity,
and
I
call
it
a
intentional
win.
This
was
our
green
power
program
that
we
were
able
to
launch
because
of
a
gift
from
an
anonymous
donor.
AB
We
had
four
races
this
fiscal
year
in
november
december
january
and
february,
and
that
was
very
intentional
for
us
to
bring
these
guests
here
in
our
slower
traditional
time
through
sport.
So
those
are
our
slower
months.
We
were
able
to
book
these
events
and
our
slower
time
to
help
create
that
demand
in
our
hotels
and
utilize
in
our
facilities.
AB
AB
AB
AB
D
AB
Parts
and
recreation
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
they
came
in
second
at
a
race.
They
competed
in
lagrange,
but
they
went
to
talladega.
They
came
in
sixth
in
the
nation
in
a
very
competitive
seasoned
racers.
They
came
in
sixth
in
the
nation.
That
is
incredible
and
a
huge
feat,
and
it
just
shows
the
investment
not
only
of
our
parts,
integration
which
we're
a
big
part
of
and
they're
a
partner
of
ours,
but
just
the
growth
of
this
program
and
really
seeing
and
the
icing
on
the
cake
to
me.
AB
AB
We
always
try
to
do
our
best
at
putting
columbus
on
the
map
a
lot
of
ways
that
we
do.
This
is
through
some
of
the
exposure
that
we
get
from
these
events
that
come
here.
So
several
of
our
events
every
year
covered
on
espn
they're
streamed
for
the
world
to
see
we
try
to
incorporate
columbus
imagery.
That
bottom
image
may
be
a
little
bit
hard
to
see,
but
in
all
of
the
awards,
banners
for
green
power.
AB
Recruiting
young
talent-
I
know
that's
another
city
initiative,
and
I
think
we
do
that
exceptionally
well,
in
bringing
athletes
to
our
city
to
see
the
opportunities
here
through
either.
You
know
a
business
that
they
may
want
to
work
for
one
day
or
either
higher
education
at
columbus,
state,
columbus
tech
and
those
other
options
that
we
have
here
so
getting
them
exposed
to
our
city
so
that
when
they
do
see
it
as
an
option
on
linkedin
for
a
job
application
or
whatever
that
they've
already
experienced
how
great
it
is
to
be
in
columbus.
AB
So
I
hope
that
gave
you
a
little
glimpse
of
what
we've
been
up
to
at
the
sports
council.
I
want
to
thank
our
board
chair
again,
herman
lewis
and
our
immediate
past,
chair
kim
sheep,
for
being
here
and
just
the
commitment
that
they
have
to
our
organization
and
helping
us
grow
and
do
things
that
we're
able
to
do.
B
That's
outstanding,
you
know
it's
kind
of
interesting
to
me
to
see
thinking
back
way
back
over
the
years.
The
way
sports
has
grown
in
its
significance
to
our
economy,
but
also
in
just
the
notoriety,
as
you
mentioned,
that
it
gives
us
as
these
folks
return
home.
But
it's
been
interesting
to
me
to
watch
how
the
sports
council's
capacity,
not
adding
tons
of
people,
but
just
your
capacity,
has
grown
to
be
able
to
coordinate
all
these
and
still
be
on
the
forefront
of
recruiting
more
you
guys
just
do
an
incredible
job.
B
Columbus
is
well
known
throughout
the
country
for
for
the
the
sporting
events
that
we
hold,
primarily
the
participatory
sporting
events
that
bring
families
with
them.
So
that's
great.
AB
Through
the
4th
they'll
be
doing
training
here,
we'll
have
exhibition
games
on
july,
4th
at
south
commons,
in
our
beautiful
renovated,
stadium,
australia
and
japan
will
play
at
two
o'clock.
Usa
will
take
on
australia
at
4
30
and
then
the
big
rivalry
at
seven
o'clock,
japan
and
usa.
It
doesn't
get
better
than
that
in
the
world
of
softball,
and
we
have
it
right
here
in
our
city.
So
please
for
more
information.
Columbusgasports.Com
go
ahead
and
get
your
tickets.
We
are
expecting
to
sell
out.
B
N
You
next
american
council
we've
got
becca
sajak
executive
director
dragonfly
trail.
She
has
an
update
for
us
today.
AE
Good
morning,
how's
everybody
doing
I
like
sitting
through
these
and
hearing
all
the
great
stuff
that's
happening
in
our
city,
and
we
are
here
to
keep
rolling
with
the
positivity,
so
I'm
becca
zajac,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
dragonfly
trails,
ken
henson
board,
chair
and
really
the
mastermind
behind.
All
of
this
is
here
with
me
today.
Our
goal
is
just
to
update
you
on
the
next
two
trails
that
are
underway.
AE
I
always
have
issues,
oh
I'm,
on
I'm
on
fire
today
with
the
clicker
so
far,
so
it's
just
to
give
you
a
little
update
on
the
next
two
segments
that
we're
looking
at
constructing.
So
if
you
look
at
the
screen
here,
anything
that's
a
solid
color
is
complete.
That's
33
miles
of
fully
connected
trails
in
columbus,
georgia.
It's
pretty
amazing.
AE
33
miles
so
technically
we're
at
32,
but
by
the
end
of
the
month,
the
one
that's
in
red,
if
you
can
kind
of
see
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
that
should
be
totally
complete
from
a
construction
aspect,
so
33
miles
and
they're
interconnected,
which
means,
if
you
hop
on
a
trail,
that's
shown
on
this
screen,
you
can
get
to
any
other
trail
in
the
city.
We
have
one
outlying
one.
AE
The
follow
me
trail,
that's
that
is
going
to
be
connected
within
the
next
year
year
and
a
half
I
know
fort
benning
and
the
planning
department
are
working
really
hard
on
getting
that
finished.
So
the
the
two
trails
I
want
to
bring
attention
to.
AE
If
you
can
see
the
gray
lines
those
are
proposed
as
part
of
our
60
mile
master
plan,
the
dark
blue
are
what
we
have
in
design
at
some
phase
between
you
know
having
a
having
a
line
on
a
piece
of
paper
and
fully
engineered,
so
the
two
that
are
in
dark
blue
checks,
and
now
you
have
pink
boxes
around
them.
Those
are
the
two
that
we
are
going
to
propose
to
you
today
to
show
you
the
alignment
and
then
we'll
look
for
approval
on
the
alignment
in
two
weeks
from
now.
AE
I
believe
the
first
one
we'll
look
at
is
the
river
road
connection.
Most
of
you.
If
you've
been
involved
with
the
dragonfly
trails
for
the
last
five
years,
we've
had
this
one
designed
since
2017
and
we
just
could
not
get
the
funding
sorted
and
we
have
finally
fully
funded
it.
This
is
this
trail
is
really
important,
it's
only
a
mile
long,
but
it
creates
this
amazing
connection
between
the
north,
riverwalk
and
northern
columbus,
north
columbus.
AE
So
a
lot
of
the
people
or
the
residents
that
live
in
north
columbus
right
now
they
will
either
drive
their
car
to
lake
oliver
marina,
some
even
attempt
to
ride
their
bikes
on
river
road,
which
is
scary,
but
we're
going
to
connect
this
one
mile,
basically
from
north
columbus,
to
the
existing
riverwalk.
It
won't
affect
any
sort
of
vehicular
commute
we're
not
going
on
the
road.
It's
a
relatively
inexpensive
trail,
because
we
are
utilizing
some
striping
on
the
existing
utility
roads.
AE
It
really
helps
reach
a
massive
amount
of
people
with
a
very
short
trail
and
it
is
fully
funded,
designed,
ready
to
bid
and
again
just
because
all
33
miles
of
our
trails
connect.
Anybody
who
has
access
to
this
one
mile
of
trail
will
now
have
access
to
the
entire
system,
so
how
it's
getting
funded.
It's
about
850,
000,
dragonfly
trails
and
our
partners.
You
guys,
of
course,
and
then
the
columbus
waterworks
have
put
up
the
funding
to
complete
this
trail.
AE
So
in
two
weeks,
hopefully,
we'll
get
approval
on
the
routing
from
you
guys
and
we'll
look
to
start
construction
before
the
end
of
the
year,
and
this
is
just
some
visuals,
so
you
can
see
on
your
left
existing
on
your
right.
What
it'll
look
like
so
dragonfly
trails
is
known
for
10
feet,
wide
concrete
trails,
sometimes
when
it's
appropriate
we're
able
to
use
low
volume
streets
and
just
put
some
sharrows
on
there
and
that's
what
you'll
see
on
this
particular
section
of
the
trail
we'll
also
put
in
this
beautiful
pedestrian
and
cycling.
AE
Bridge
it'll
have
some
branding
on
it,
but
this
keeps
all
of
our
trail
users
off
of
river
road
and
away
from
vehicles,
and
it
has
it's
a
great
branding
opportunity.
I
know
some
of
you
guys
have
mentioned
the
beautiful
noonan
kind
of
wording
across
as
you're
going
to
atlanta
from
here.
We
we
would
love
to
start
doing
that
with
some
of
the
trails
in
columbus.
AE
The
second
trail
that
we'll
talk
about
is
the
dinglewood
park
trail,
so
I'm
gonna
go
back
one
more
time.
So
the
where
the
box
is.
This
is
one
segment
of
the
total
three
segments
that
make
up
the
midtown
connector.
We
are
only
talking
about
the
first
section
here
which
we're
calling
the
dinglewood
park
connector.
So
what
you
see
on
your
screen
now
you'll
see
orange.
That's
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
alignment,
the
green
and
the
yellow.
Those
are
future
trails,
we're
working
to
get
funding
and
design
on
those.
AE
So
we're
only
talking
about
the
orange
today
and
a
close-up
of
that
is
here
so,
where
you
see
the
solid
dark
blue.
This
is
the
martin
luther
king
to
riverwalk
trail.
This
is
the
one
that
is
under
construction
right
now.
Remember
we
closed
down
11th
street
for
a
little
bit.
They
were
down
at
the
riverwalk
ramps
the
last
few
months.
They
are
finishing
up
that
trail
this
month
or
the
beginning
of
july.
We
should
have
all
of
the
signage
installed
and
that
route
will
be
complete.
We
are
going
to
build
on
from
that.
AE
So
we
continue
this
idea
of
connecting
to
the
trail
to
the
33
miles
of
trails
that
exist.
So
this
section
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
about
a
mile
long.
We
worked
with
the
housing
authority
with
muskogee
county
school
district,
the
museum
parks
and
parks
and
rec
planning
engineering,
also
the
property
owners
kind
of
along
warren
williams
there
and
the
13th
street
villages.
AE
One
of
the
important
things
about
this
extension
is
we're.
Finally,
getting
uptown
and
midtown
completely
connected
midtown
is,
you
know,
really
our
first
residential
ring
in
columbus
and
we
are
with
this
trail
and
the
other
two
that
will
follow.
We
are
starting
to
reach
all
of
the
residents
in
midtown
and
providing
them
access
to
uptown,
to
north
columbus,
to
south
columbus
to
fort
benning,
and
that's
what
we
that's.
AE
One
of
the
great
things
about
this
particular
trail
I'll
go
back
one
more
time.
This
connects
really
great
destinations.
We
have
in
columbus,
so
the
museum
is,
is
working
hard
on
redoing
their
kind
of
backyard.
I
guess
you
will
say
we're
creating
a
destination
to
that
museum,
we're
providing
a
connection
to
businesses
like
jarfly,
midtown,
coffee
dinglewood
park.
These
are
things
that
people
in
columbus
want
to
go
to,
and
one
of
the
other
benefits
of
of
this
particular
trail
is
the
picture
you
see
in
front
of
you.
We
all
re
this.
AE
This
parking
lot
is
used
a
lot
to
support
not
only
the
users
of
the
park
but
of
the
shopping
center
across
the
way.
We're
gonna
improve
this
parking
lot
and
update
kind
of
with
update
it
with
a
map
and
signs
and
create
just
a
better
trailhead.
AE
The
funding
for
this
is
also
allocated
at
this
point,
so
another
great
partnership.
I
think
I
love
looking
at
our
funding
resources
because
it
shows
you
that
it's
not
just
dragonfly
trails
in
the
city
of
columbus
funding,
these
things
anymore.
We
are
finally
getting
partners
that
see
the
value
for
their
citizens
or
whomever
they
serve.
The
housing
authority
went
ahead
and
put
up
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
so
we
connect
to
their
warren
williams
property.
We
were
able
to
secure
the
recreational
trails
program
grant
for
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
AE
That
was
a
partnership
between
us
and
the
city.
You
know
we
are
able
to
go
out
and
get
grants
now.
That's
it
it's
huge
and
then
the
rest
of
the
funding
will
come
between
ourselves
and
you
guys.
AE
So
again,
I
love
showing
the
visuals.
Not
only
are
we
putting
in
trails,
but
sometimes
we
improve
intersections.
We
beautify
places
just
help
with
wayfinding,
so
this
is
sort
of
the
intersection
of
bradley
drive
right
now
and
winton
road.
AE
We
will
help
when
we
were
talking
to
the
muskogee
county
school
district
who
who
owns
bradley
drive.
They
said
you
know
we
have
people
flying
through
this
road
and
it's
so
wide
that
you
know
the
cars
don't
always
know
where
to
go
so
we're
going
to
clean
it
up
and
landscape
it
a
little
bit
better,
make
a
better
intersection,
make
sure
people
have
access
to
the
columbus
museum,
not
only
off
of
winton
road,
but
also
about
halfway
down
bradley
drive.
AE
AE
We
are
going
to
this.
This
intersection
is
confusing
for
pedestrians.
Well,
it's
not
safe
for
pedestrians
and
it's
confusing
for
vehicles
we're
just
going
to
clean
it
up
a
little
bit
when
we're
there
and
make
sure
you
know.
Pedestrians
and
cyclists
know
where
they
need
to
go
and
vehicles
know
where
they
need
to
go.
AE
So
this
will
be
the
kind
of
terminating
spot,
18th
and
13th
before
we
move
on
to
the
lake
bottom
connector
in
the
future,
but
right
now
we're
just
focused
on
getting
dinglewood
complete
and
then,
while
I
have
your
attention,
I
just
want
to
comment
on
a
few
other
projects
that
we're
working
on.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
martin
luther
king
to
riverwalk
trail
is
nearing
completion.
One
of
the
additions
that
we're
doing
to
that
in
partnership
with
the
city
is
kind
of
revitalizing.
AE
This
underpass,
not
only
are
we
putting
a
trail
that
allows
people
to
get
safely
from
midtown
to
uptown
and
kind
of
move
through
this
area,
but
we're
really
igniting
it
with
light
and
color,
and
I
think
you
guys
have
seen
this
picture
before,
but
we
actually
expect
to
go
in
there
pressure
wash
it
paint
it
put
the
lighting
in
and
a
mural
starting
in
july,
and
I
think
the
mural
we're
doing
this
is
just
conceptual,
but
it'll
be
something
really
fun
and
bright.
AE
This
is
actually
done
by
two
csu
students
who
we're
using
we'll
come
back
and
get
the
design
approved.
So
please
don't
get
into
the
design,
but
just
something
that's
light
and
fun
and
really
helps
brand.
The
dragonfly
trails,
you
know,
public
art
is
so
important
on
the
trails.
It
helps
not
only
activate
it
but
gives
trail
users
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
each
other.
Maybe
learn
something
our
next
public
art
installation
is
happening
two
weeks
pretty
much
from
today.
AE
AE
This
is
what
the
facade
of
their
building
looks
like
right
now,
and
this
is
I'm
going
to
scroll
through
this
quickly,
because
I
really
want
you
guys
to
see
it
when
it's
fully
done.
But
this
is
sort
of
the
theme
of
this
mural,
just
honoring,
really
prominent
leaders
in
our
community
from
an
arts
perspective,
but
also
from
a
civic
leader's
perspective
and
then
the
the
one
project
that
we
have
just
completed,
and
I
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city
and
columbus
water
works
for
supporting
us
in
this.
AE
The
riverwalk
trail
signage
was,
is
there's
certain
parts
of
it
that
still
need
some
work,
but
the
trail
maps
are
by
far
the
most
used
asset
on
the
trails
and
we
were
able
to
partner
with
columbus
waterworks
in
the
city
to
take
11
signs
that
looked
like
this
plus
add
five
new
ones.
On
the
northern
section
to
look
like
that,
and
and
if
you're
on
the
riverwalk,
you
see
people
using
those
signs
daily.
AE
It's
just
it's
such
a
small
investment
that
we
made,
but
it
really
has
a
big
improvement,
so
just
want
to
show
you
some
good
stuff,
that's
happening
on
the
trail
and
again,
dragonfly
trails
will
continue
to
partner
with
the
city
and
other
organizations
to
to
put
more
public
art
on
our
trails.
So
this
year
we
we
did
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
we
hope
to
continue
utilizing
grants
and
partners
to
grow
that.
W
W
D
W
Okay
and
then
what
else
happened
july,
we'll
finish
divide
up
this
summer.
AE
I'll
get
started,
yeah
we're
going
to
start
on
it,
so
I'm
still
working
with
engineering
to
pull
permits
and
a
traffic
plan.
But
our
goal
is
to
start
in
july
and
hopefully
finish
in
august.
I
mean
this
is
something
that
we've
been
working
on
for
two
and
a
half
years
and
we're
ready
to
be
done
with
this
project,
because
the
citizens
want
to
know
where
it
is
and
they
are
ready
for
it
and
we
want
to.
We
want
to
get
it
done,
because
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
transformational.
J
You
know,
dragonfly
with
other
locations
and
it's
it's
just
kind
of
exciting
to
see
what
we're
doing
here
and
I
think
we
I
think
we
compete
very,
very
well
with
the
other,
with
the
other
trails
that
I've
been
on.
One
thing
I
I
one
question
I
have
is:
I
would
love
for
us
to
have
like
pocket
maps
of
if
we
can
and
I
think
that
that
might
even
be
a
fundraiser.
You
know
where
I
mean
I
would
buy
a
pocket
map
just
so
that
I
had
something
because
I
got.
J
I
thought
that
I
would
go
ahead
and
explore
the
follow
me
trail.
J
Fortunately,
I
was
with
my
husband
and
we,
you
know
we
ended
up
on
casita
road
and
we
didn't
get
it.
We
didn't
know
where
to
go
from
there
and
so
do
we
go
back,
but
we
got
through.
You
know
we
got
through
over
into
carver
heights
area
and
got
home,
and
it
was
so.
I
guess
it
would
have
prevented
us
from
from
getting
stranded
somewhere
where
the
trail
had
has
not
been
completed
yet,
but
anyway,
I
think
I
would
buy
one
if
you,
if
you
guys
made
them.
AE
Yeah,
I
think
that's
an
excellent
suggestion
and
there
are
certainly
things
we
have
been
really
focused
on
the
construction
and
some
of
the
assets
that
you
would
have
for
other
massive
trail
systems.
We
need
to
work
on.
So
that's
a
great
idea
and
then
one
thing
is:
you
know
the
follow
me
trail.
It's
one
of
the
trails
that
does
not
have
signage.
AE
Again,
we
hope
in
a
year
and
a
half
that'll
be
changing
and
you'll
be
able
to
access
the
riverwalk
and
fort
bending
trails
from
the
follow
me
trail.
But
it's
a
really
great
point
and
I
would
say
the
quality
of
our
trails
is
absolutely
a
team
effort.
AE
Engineering
planning
pam,
her
team,
you
know
public
works,
keeping
them
clean.
It's
it's
absolutely
an
effort
on
their
part
to
do
the
work.
Every
time
we
add
a
trail
and
path
foundation,
you
guys
have
heard
of
them
in
kaizen,
but
they're
the
ones
that
really
put
the
design
on
the
piece
of
paper
and
have
helped
us
make
a
really
beautiful
trail
system.
J
Yeah,
I
think
we
have
a
really
diverse
trail
system
here.
You
know
we
do
have
trails
that
go
into
areas
where
you
can.
You
know,
stop
and
get
something
to
eat,
something
to
drink
and
then
move
on
and
then
there's
very
natural,
canopies
and-
and
just
you
feel
like
you
are
not
in
the
city
and
so
it's
it's
really.
It's
really
fun
to
see
how
this
is
all
developing
and
coming
together.
T
Hey
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
It's
very
exciting.
Now
I
can
see
why
you
were
excited
coming
up
to
the
to
the
podium.
I
wanted
to
ask
you.
I
think
it
was
the
last
slide
with
the
chattahoochee
riverwalk
kind
of
a
pointed.
AE
AE
So
that
is,
do
you
know
where
the
north
highlands
dam
is
or
the
put
in
for
the
white
water?
There's
a
georgia
power
access
road
right
there,
so
it's
literally
just
south
of
the.
AE
Yeah,
yeah
and,
and
that
was
a
t
splash
project
from
the
last
t-swap.
AE
B
AE
And
if,
if
counselor
alan
or
anybody
else,
if
you
guys
ever
want
to
take
a
tour
of
the
trails
yeah,
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
go
by
foot
by
bike
or
if
you
want
to
just
cruise
around
in
a
sanctioned
or
authorized
golf
cart.
We
can
do
that,
but
I
would
love
to
show
off
the
trails.
I
mean
they're
stunning
and
it's
it's
it's
worth
seeing.
Becca.
AE
So
we
don't,
we
have
an
app,
we
do
not
have
an
app
yet
for
the
public.
We
started
working
on
one
with
columbus
water
works
and
we
just
haven't
finished
it.
So.
AF
AF
V
You
well,
they
both
asked
you
my
questions.
One
was
about
the
tour
I
like
to
do
that
and
gary's
interested
in
it
too.
So
maybe
you
can
just
let
us
know,
and
I
don't
know
who
else
we
could
and
I
was
gonna
mention
the
app
because
there's
an
app
that
I
use
like
to
go
hiking
and
walking
and
stuff.
It's
called
all
trails.
V
It
would
be
great
if
we
have
one
like
that
or
well.
All
trails
will
probably
put
our
ours
in
there
because
it
does
it
has
like
you
can
put
whatever
city
you
want
to
hike
in
and
it
gives
you
the
map
and
it
tells
you
everything
about
it.
Yeah.
That's.
I
D
V
Is
our
walking
trail
dog
friendly.
V
V
AE
This
is
all
csu
students-
these
are
just
not
me,
but
if
you
you
look,
they
put
the
columbus
kind
of
skyline
in
in
the
back
right.
The
little
white
thing
of
little
white
accents
are
show.
Lilies
is
a
kind
of
tribute
to
the
chattahoochee
river
and
the
work
whitewater
express
and
the
chattahoochee
river
keepers
and
conservancy
have
done
so
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
keep
working
on
this,
but
it's
this
is
something
very
similar
to
this
will
be
put
in
front
of
you
guys
for
approval
in
the
near
future.
V
G
Davis
yeah
mr
city
manager.
I
was
going
to
bring
up
a
matter
when
they
were
talking
about
the
heritage
park
earlier
and
now
we're
talking
about
trails.
This
is
like
a
trail,
but
it's
really
not,
but
I
want
to
ask
that
question
now,
because
it's
jogging
my
my
memory
on
this
there's
a
there's,
a
a
railroad
line
on
sixth
street,
and
you
know
it
goes
all
the
way
down
to
the
river,
and
I
think
I
want
to
say
it's
owned
by
the
d.o.t.
Now
it's
it's
abandoned.
G
It's
not
used,
nobody
uses
it,
but
it's
not
very
maintained
at
all.
It's
it's
just
there
and
it's
it's
a
disturbance.
Let
me
just
put
it
that
way,
but
what
what
is
the
plan
is
is
the
is
the
d.o.t
going
to
remove
it?
I
mean:
should
we
encourage
them
to
remove
it?
Should
we
take
it
over?
Should
we
should
it
be
deeded
to
us
I
mean
I'm
trying.
Is
there
any
way
that
we
can
deal
with
that
matter
and
and
clean
it
up.
N
I'll
have
to
have
staff
look
into
it.
You're
talking
about
right
there
in
btw
area,
on
six.
AE
G
So
I
I
will
guess
it
does
deal
with.
G
N
V
That's
okay,
pam!
When
you
look
into
that,
can
you
see
because,
instead
of
taking
it
apart,
it
will
be
great
to
do
like
they
did?
V
B
J
Are
we
talking
about
the
little
railroad
that
would
connect
uptown
to
say
the
liberty
district.
N
N
J
J
N
I
wanted
definitely
manager
hodge
to
follow
up
about
some
additional
projects
that
are
pending.
AF
So
as
part
of
the
dragonfly
trail
network,
with
the
t
splost
that
will
take
effect
january
1st,
almost
every
one
of
those
projects
includes
a
trail
component,
so
we're
working
to
piece,
the
existing
dragonfly
trail
network
with
all
of
the
t-splos
to
make
sure
that
all
of
those
are
connected
to
the
dragonfly
trail
network.
So
that
is
part
of
a
lot
of
the
t-splash
projects
is
another
segment
of
the
trail,
and
so
we
are
working
on
a
map
to
outline
the
t-splash
projects.
AF
The
current
dragonfly
trail
network,
the
the
extensions
that
they're
planning
and
then
how
can
we
make
sure
that
they
all
connect
together.
N
You
and
so
next
mayor
and
council,
we've
got
an
update
on
animal
control
of
the
animal
care,
shelter.
AG
AG
So
the
first
thing
I
want
to
do
is
go
over
what
I'm
going
to
discuss
history
facility
capacity,
which
is
very
important
operations,
virtual
tour
of
the
facility,
if
you've
never
been
there.
The
save
a
pet
program
which
we
implemented
years
ago,
statistics
on
the
animal
care
control
center.
We'll
talk
about
some
of
the
accolades
that
we've
received
throughout
the
years.
AG
So,
first
and
foremost,
I
don't
know
if
you
all
remember
the
old
building,
but
on
your
left,
that
is
a
picture
of
the
old
animal
care
and
control
center,
which
was
located
off
of
chitoga
road
on
sassadot
lane.
We
were
there
for
over
30
years
and
in
2009
we
moved
into
the
new
facility,
which
is
a
picture
on
the
right,
and
that
was
done
through
a
public-private
partnership
with
what
is
now
paws
humane.
But
at
the
time
it
was
paws
columbus.
AG
In
the
old
facility
we
only
had
25
dog
runs,
that's
not
a
lot
for
a
city
of
our
size.
We
had
four
quarantine
runs
six
cages,
puppy
cages,
15
cat
cages
and
in
the
new
facility
you're
looking
at
now,
we
have
almost
doubled
our
size
to
40
general
population
cages
for
dogs,
six
quarantine,
six
isolation
and
six
holding
runs,
and
if
you
will
just
just
give
me
a
couple
of
seconds
to
just
kind
of
verify
for
you
or
confirm
for
you
what
those
names
mean.
So
quarantine
is
for
all
of
our
biting
dogs
by
law.
AG
We
have
to
maintain
so
many
quarantine
runs
available
for
any
bite
cases
that
we
have
coming
throughout
the
community.
The
isolation
cages
are
for
medical
needs,
those
are
animals
that
may
have
been
hit
by
a
car
or
that
are
pregnant
and
getting
ready
to
have
delivery.
You
don't
want
to
put
those
animals
in
the
general
population
areas
for
specific
reasons.
One.
AG
Those
runs
are
for
animal
care
and
control
officers
to
bring
in
any
animals
that
they
picked
up
during
the
evening
or
during
the
day,
so
that
they
don't
have
to
interfere
with
the
general
population
runs
because
we
don't
want
them
putting
animals
in
with
other
animals,
and
then
you
have
a
whole
other
situation.
If
they
don't
know
the
behavior
of
the
animal,
we
also
have
eight
puppy
cages
or
a
puppy
room,
and
then
we
have
48
cat
cages,
which
that's
a
nice
sized
facility.
AG
This
is
just
a
schematic
of
the
facility.
If
you've
never
been
in
it,
it
is
a
good
size.
The
one
unique
feature
about
this
facility
is
that
we
have
garage
doors,
is
what
I
call
them
on
the
back
side
of
the
facility,
which
allows
us
to
air
out
the
facility.
Whenever
you
have
a
lot
of
animals
with
all
kinds
of
backgrounds.
You
don't
know
where
they're
coming
from
the
the
odor
can
get
pretty
interesting,
yeah,
to
say
the
least
interesting.
U
Did
you
go
back
one
more
slide?
Yes,
ma'am.
As
you
know,
we
are
getting
a
lot
of
comments
from
the
general
public
and
when
they
say
we
need
seven
more
runs
today,
which
one
of
those
things
are
they
talking
about.
Okay,.
AG
U
AG
U
AG
So
right
now
our
shelter
is
being
challenged
due
to
staffing,
critical
staffing
shortages,
but
let
me
go
ahead
and
go
over
our
hours
of
operations
for
you
monday,
through
saturday,
from
12
pm
to
5
pm.
The
shelter
is
open
to
the
public.
That
doesn't
mean
that
that's
the
only
time
that
we're
open
staff
comes
in
at
seven
in
the
morning
and
they
leave
between
six
and
seven
at
night.
AG
They
have
to
come
in
early
enough
to
do
all
the
cleaning
and
the
feeding
that
is
required
by
the
state
to
make
sure
those
animals
are
well
cared
for
monday
through
saturday,
our
field
officers.
Those
are
the
ones
that
you
see
out
on
the
road
in
those
conditioned
trucks
where
the
back
have
the
the
air
conditioning
and
all
they're
out
there
from
7
am
until
6
pm
anytime
after
6
pm
7
days
a
week.
You
must
call
excuse
me
not
6
pm
10
pm.
AG
B
T
Somebody
stopped
me
and,
like
most
of
us,
probably
had
had
a
conversation
regarding
the
recent
events.
They
said
anytime.
The
city
gets
to
a
point
where
we're
in
a
situation
where
we're
overcrowded
and
we
need
to
euthanize
them
right.
Our
option
is
to
call
paws
and
they'll
take
that
animal
and
ship
it
nationally
to
to
save
it.
Is
that.
AG
Well,
let
me
let
me
clarify
that,
for
you,
we
have
several
rescue
partners.
Some
of
them
have
shelters
some
of
them.
Don't
some
of
them
do
work
with
other
rescues
in
other
parts
of
the
country
that
do
transport
animals
that
are
available
for
adoption
to
other
parts
or
other
areas
of
our
country
for
adoption
that
helps
to
get
animals
out
of
our
shelter,
but
also
understand
that
they're
doing
this
all
over
the
united
states,
every
shelter
is
wanting
to
partner
with
a
rescue
of
that
nature.
So
that
is
true.
AG
AG
I
didn't
mean
to
jump
in
right
now.
Okay,
thank
you
sure,
so,
our
field,
animal
control
officers.
They
are
working
and
they
work
monday
through
friday
from
6
a.m,
to
10
p.m.
Again,
anything
after
10
pm
has
to
go
through
9-1-1
for
us
to
respond
and
we're
only
responding
to
emergency
calls
only
so
we
have
visitors
and
walk-ins
that
come
into
the
shelter.
I
really
would
love
this
number
to
double.
Yes,.
AG
AG
AG
So
this
is
a
picture
of
our
shelter.
If
you've
not
been
there,
it's
a
very
nice
place.
I'm
a
stickler
about
this
location.
I
like
it
to
look
the
best
that
it
can
look,
because
I
want
to
draw
in
as
many
people
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
it
is
in
fact
presentable.
So
that
is
the
outside
talking
about
animal
control
in
our
critical
vacancies,
I
did
list.
On
the
left
hand,
side
are
all
of
the
approved
budget,
budgeted
and
approved
positions.
AG
If
you
notice
the
first
position
is
a
division
manager,
slash
veterinarian,
which
is
what
we
changed
it
to
a
few
years
ago,
but
unfortunately,
we
were
not
able
to
hire
anyone
at
the
salary
that
it
was
being
advertised
for
so
the
state
of
georgia
requires
us,
because
we
are
a
municipal,
shelter
or
any
shelter.
To
be
honest
with
you
to
have
a
veterinarian
on
staff,
it
can
be
full-time
or
it
can
be
part-time
right.
Now
we
have
a
part-time
veterinarian
on
staff.
Who
is
our
angel?
We
call
him
our
angel.
You
all
know
him.
AG
Dr
hall
he's
been
with
us
for
many
many
years,
and
I'm
just
really
panicked
at
the
day
that
he's
going
to
come
and
say
I
am
officially
retired,
because
he
has
truly
already
retired
from
his
practice
and
he's
just
through
the
grace
just
coming
in
to
help
us
on
a
day-to-day
basis
when
we
need
them
at
least
three
times
a
week,
but
these
are
all
the
positions
that
are.
May
I
ask
you
a
question?
Yes,
sir.
N
And
I
called
one
of
my
colleagues
who
graduated
college
with
me:
who's
a
doctor
of
veterinary
medicine.
That's
correct
over
at
tuskegee,
that's
correct
and
we
were
talking
to
him
and
explaining
to
him
our
need
to
see
if
he
could
help
us
find
someone
and
he
asked
how
much
are
we
paying?
Is
this
a
call
that
we
made.
I
AG
N
N
AG
95,
excuse
me:
senate
manager,
the
max
is
95
and
when
we
did
get
applicants
they
wanted
the
max
as
they're
starting
so
it,
and
that
was
three
years
ago.
We
just
have
not
had
anyone
to
even
apply
for
the
position
since
then,
and
we've
been
soliciting
and
going
to
auburn
university
tuskegee
any
place
that
had
a
veterinarian
in
school.
We
have
partnered
and
we've
developed
relationships
with
their
schools
to
let
them
know
that
we
are
in
need
and
sometimes
you'll.
AG
N
AG
N
AG
AG
We
have
one
dead
animal
truck,
pickup
position,
that
is
still
vacant,
communications,
tech,
administrative
coordinator
and
of
course,
we
were
using
inmates
to
assist
us
in
keeping
this
facility
clean,
but
because
of
the
inmate
situation
out
at
mcp,
we
have
not
had
inmates
in
the
shelter
for
almost
a
year
a
little
over
a
year
to
assist
us,
so
that's
being
done
by
the
staff.
That
is
there
right
now.
AG
AG
We
developed
a
save
a
pet
program
which
was
established
by
our
former
mayor
in
2011,
theresa
tomlinson.
The
implementation
of
this
program
has
resulted
in
a
reduction
of
our
euthanasia
rate
from
79
percent
in
20
2010.
That's
one
year
after
we
moved
into
the
new
facility
to
an
all-time
low
of
seven
percent
in
2021.
AG
Animal
care
and
control
has
managed
to
maintain
a
zero
percent
euthanasia
rate
for
capacity
or
duty
capacity
since
january,
starting
in
january
of
2019
until
last
month,
which
is
when
you
all
started
getting
all
the
calls
may
of
2022.
So
that's
almost
four
years
of
no
no
euthanasia
due
to
the
fact
that
we
had
no
space
for
animals
in
the
facility.
AG
Is
phenomenal
that
that
is
something
that
we
have
been
working
with
and
trying
to
obtain
for
years
I'll
point
out
some
other
things
as
we
go
further
on
down,
but
that
is
something
that
katrina
and
her
staff
have
to
give
her.
All
the
credit
have
worked
tirelessly,
making
sure
that
we
kept
all
of
those
relationships
intact
and
making
sure
that
we
worked
with
all
these
rescues
so
that
they
would
come
and
pull
from
us,
because
we
we
needed,
we
need
them
as
much
as
they
need
us.
AG
So
next
on
your
screen,
you'll
see
an
off-site
adoption
event.
That
is
something
that
I
just
wanted
to
put
up
to.
Let
you
see
what
we're
doing,
and
next
to
that
is
the
save
a
pet
program
brochure
that
has
been
published
and
that
we
occu
that
we
work
based
off
of
so
when
you
talk
about
the
no
kill
equation
which
the
save
a
pet
program
was
developed
from.
AG
On
the
left
hand,
side
is
a
list
of
components
that
is
a
national,
no
kill
equation
listing
and
on
the
right
hand,
side
is
what
we
emulated
and
we've
put
into
practice
here
in
muskogee
county
now.
A
lot
of
this
is
not
done
directly
in
our
shelter,
but
it's
done
by
our
shelter
partners,
our
rescue
partners,
for
example,
the
foster
care
network.
We
do
not
operate
a
foster
program
in
our
facility
because
you
have
to
have
the
appropriate
staff
to
do
it.
AG
You
have
to
be
able
to
inspect
these
homes
just
like
if
they
were
children
in
a
foster
home,
you
have
to
have
a
caseworker,
it's
the
same
thing
for
animals,
and
we
just
don't
have
the
staffing
to
do
that.
So
we
have
a
rescue
partner
that
they
do
this
and
they
do
a
phenomenal
job
with
it,
and
it
helps
us
to
keep
our
numbers
down.
So
everything
on
the
right
hand,
side
without
going
through
each
one,
are
the
components
for
the
save
a
pep
program
that
we
are
in
fact
operating
right
now.
AG
I
just
need
to
remind
you
that
animal
care
and
control
is
a
private
or
municipal
shelter.
Excuse
me
not
a
private
shelter
but
a
municipal
shelter
and
where
private
shelters
can
turn
away
animals,
they
can
say
we're
not
taking
any
more.
They
can
close
their
doors,
whatever
the
case
may
be,
but
we
are
a
public
shelter
and
we
don't
have
that
luxury.
We
cannot
close
our
doors.
We
cannot
tell
someone
that
they
cannot
surrender
their
animal.
We
have
to
make
a
way
to
take
that.
AG
Yeah,
no
sir,
we
cannot
do
that.
We
can't
close
our
doors.
We
can't
do
any
of
that.
State
law
prohibits
us
from
overcrowding,
our
shelter
and
because
of
that
and
for
safety
reasons,
health
reasons
we
do
have
to
euthanize
from
time
to
time,
but
I'd
like
to
revert
back
to
the
fact
that
we
have
not
done
it
for
the
last
four
years.
We
have
worked
tirelessly
to
make
sure
we
didn't
have
to
euthanize
due
to.
AG
That
point
open
the
doors
and
let
them
go
no.
AG
So,
let's
talk
about
our
statistics,
just
to
show
you
what
we've
been
doing-
and
this
is
based
on
every
the
last
12
years,
but
I
started
with
2010
and
did
five
year
increments
up
to
2020
than
I
did
the
last
three
years.
But
you
can
see
our
impoundment
rate
in
2010
was
7672
animals.
That's
a
lot
of
animals
in
a
40-run
shelter!
That's
a
lot
of
animals,
but
if
you
also
notice
in
2010,
our
euthanasia
rate
was
6
000.
AG
D
AG
Month
we
only
had
had
to
euthanize
124
animals-
that's
not
due
to
capacity
except
for
two,
so
122
were
due
to
other
illnesses
recommended
by
the
veterinarian,
injuries
things
of
that
nature.
That's
the
only
type
of
euthanasia
we've
had
to
do.
Excuse.
AG
G
You
know
I
want
to
highlight
what
city
manager
just
said.
It's
amazing
I'm
looking
at
these
numbers,
especially
through
through
covet
when
you
hear
about
you,
know
the
struggles
of
families
and
individuals
and
them
having
to
release
their
pets
because
they
just
couldn't
they
couldn't
take
care
of
them
and
that's
understandable.
It's
just
it's
a
tragedy,
but
even
today
I'm
wondering
my
question
evolves.
G
You
know
I
hear
about
the
the
attempts
to
try
to
it's
not
just
here,
but
I
hear
about
the
attempts
to
try
to
get
the
these
animals
adopted
or
to
get
them
finding
my
home
placed,
and
it
seems,
like
you
hear,
a
lot
about
the
northeast
and
northeast
northeast
matter
of
fact.
Not
long
ago
I
was
up
there
and
talked
to
a
lot
of
people.
G
G
I
don't
think
the
the
local
ordinance
is
I
I
guess
the
animals
become
city
property,
but
the
local
laws
start
kicking
in
and
then,
if
you
have
a
challenge
of
finding
a
place,
which
I
hear
too,
that
some
animals
they
just
well
in
the
northeast
or
whatever
they're
not
desirable-
that's
correct,
for
whatever
reason:
okay,
they're
just
not
desirable,
and
that
creates
a
challenge
as
well.
G
But
I'm
wondering
now
you
know
the
the
you
know
you're
hearing
every
day
that
the
economic
challenges
are
getting
tougher
and
tougher
we're
going
to
recession
and
I'm
looking
at
your
numbers.
Do
you
are
you?
Do
you
feel
like
this
year
that
you're
going
to
start
to
see
more
of
people
surrendering
their
animals
to
that
they
will
meet
their
own?
Try
to
meet
their
own
needs
probably,
and
they.
I
AG
That
could
be
because
of
the
isolation
that
people
were
feeling,
and
so
they
decided
to
go
and
adopt
a
pet,
I'm
not
really
sure
what
the
future
holds
for
us,
especially
with
the
economy.
The
way
that
it
is
right
now,
I
would
venture
to
say
this
to
you:
you
have
animal
owners
who
love
their
animals,
that's
a
part
of
their
family.
Those
are
their
kids
and
they're
not
going
to
give
them
up
under
any
circumstances.
They'll
go
and
get
in
the
food
line
if
they
need
to.
N
AG
Their
money
to
buy
the
dog
food-
that's
how
extreme
their
love
for
their
animals
are,
is,
and
then
you
have.
Those
who
are
you
know
the
animal
is
just
the
backyard
out
in
a
dog
run
type
of
pet,
and
if
it
came
between
their
household
and
the
dog,
it's
going
to
be
their
household
over
the
dog.
It's
going
to
be
very
interesting
to
see
how
this
recession.
AG
G
G
When,
when
these
animals,
what
do
you
do-
and
you
know
I'm
I'm
sure
they
kind
of
it-
looks
like
they
come
from
all
angles?
You
know
and
then
ultimately
they
get
to
you,
but
I
mean
I
think
I
feel
like
there's
a
conscious
effort
in
our
community
to
place
and
to
get
animals
adopted.
Am
I
missing
something?
No.
AG
No,
it
is
a
very
big,
conscious
effort,
like
I
said
we
could
not
do
the
numbers
that
you're
seeing
right
now
without
our
rescue
partners.
They
are
our
right
arm,
and
so
we
work
with
them
if
they
need
something
that
we
can
provide
for
them,
we'll
do
whatever
we
can
to
assist
them,
but
make
no
mistake
about
it
without
them,
our
numbers
would
look
more
like
the
2010
numbers
than
the
2022
numbers
that
we're
seeing
right
now
do.
AG
Or
both
it's
because
both
we
send
them
an
email
every
day,
basically
letting
them
know
what
our
status
is.
As
far
as
run
availability
is
concerned,
we
we
basically
beg
come
get
them.
If
you
can
you've
got
space
come
get
them,
but
the
reality
is
is
that
everyone
is
limited
to
spacing.
So,
even
though
we're
full
we're
calling
on
other
rescues
that
also,
that
may
also
be
full
and
they're
calling
on
their
rescue
partners
to
see
if
they
can
take
some
of
their
animals
so
that
they
can
take
our
animals.
G
N
AG
They
are
not.
They
are
under
the
same
department
of
agriculture
guidelines
that
we
are
under,
so
they
have
more
freedoms
than
we
do,
because
we
are
municipal,
for
example,
their
their
director.
If
she
wanted
to
to
keep
from
putting
one
down
could
take
him
home
and
bring
her
back
the
next
day
if
she
needed
to.
We
cannot
do
that
because
our
records
have
to
reflect
where
those
animals
are
at
all
times.
AG
N
AG
Well,
what
our
process
is,
let
me
just
go
over
that
real,
quick
and
I've
got
katrina
here
with
me
in
the
event
that
you
have
any
specific
questions
to
that
particular
event.
She
could
answer
probably
better
than
I
can,
but
every
day
when
we
come
in,
we
look
at.
We
have
to
have
a
count.
We
send
that
count
to
the
state
we
determine.
From
that
point.
We
try
and
forecast,
based
on
the
number
of
calls
that
we're
receiving
how
many
runs
we're
going
to
need
available.
AG
We
start
forecasting,
but
then
reality
sets
in
very
quickly
as
we
go
through
and
we
look
at
what
we've
got
vacant
and
what
we
don't
have.
They
can
look
at
how
many
adoptions
are
going
out.
How
many
adoptions
are
already
pre-planned
meaning
people
came
in,
saw
the
animal
put
their
name
on
the
card,
stating
that
they
would
be
here
on
the
the
adoption
date
to
take
that
animal
home
with
them,
as
well
as
other
processes
that
we
use
once
we
see
that
we
need
two
runs.
B
Hang
on
a
second
mayor
pro
tim.
T
Thank
you.
Are
you
going
to
get
into
the
other
thing
that
was
brought
up
when
I
had
the
conversation
this
weekend
was
they
talked
about
breeders,
licensing.
D
AG
AG
It's
both
both
it's
close,
yes
now
locally.
They
have
to
also
be
able
to
obtain
a
kennel
permit
in
order
to
get
a
breeder's
license.
A
kennel
permit
requires
you
to
have
so
many
acres
or
a
certain
type
of
facility
and
meet
all
the
requirements
for
the
facility.
Just
like
we
do
for
a
shelter
in
order
to
have
that
breeder's
license.
The
problem
is
that
people
don't
get
them
and
they
just
go
into
the
business.
T
Well,
that
was
the
question.
Was
enforcement
and
I
know
there's
a
threshold,
you
you,
if
you're
going
to
be
a
breeder,
then
you
can
breed
pets
up
to
a
certain
number.
Is
that
correct?
You.
B
B
B
AG
AG
D
AG
I
AG
When
that
animal
get
medical
care,
the
animal
does
get
medical
care.
What
happens
is
the
officer
calls
the
shelter
supervisor
right
now
with
phones?
It's
really
helped
us
out
tremendously
because
they
can
do
a
live
feed,
so
the
shelter
supervisor
can
see
the
animal's
condition
make
the
decision
whether
or
not
the
veterinarian
needs
to
meet
them
at
the
at
the
shelter
the
veterinarian
does
and
the
veterinarian
takes
it
over
from
there.
AG
If
it's
something
that
the
veterinarian
even
says
take
them
straight
to
animal
emergency,
then
we
will
do
that,
but
the
veterinarian
does
come
in
and
respond
to
injury
calls
okay,
especially
if
they're
life-threatening
right.
Okay,
thank
you
and
there
there
are
minor
drugs
and
I
say
minor,
I'm
talking
like
tylenol
because
they
give
dogs
tylenol
that
we
can
treat
the
animals
with
under
the
veterinarian's
direction
when
they're
injured,
like
that,
okay,
okay,
all
right.
AG
So
this
is
just
another
slide,
showing
you
a
different
angle
of
our
euthanasia
statistics
for
the
acc,
and
you
can
see
again
in
2021
we
only
had
281
euthanasians,
and
that
was
due
to
sickness
aggression,
veterinarian
recommended
whatever
the
case
may
be,
but
none
were
due
to
capacity
just
wanted
to
put
something
up.
To
give
you
something
to
compare
to
impoundments
versus
euthanasia,
you
can
see
the
variation
in
the
difference
since
2010
to
now
it
has
dramatically
dropped.
AG
We
went
for
a
no-kill
community
and
we
did
accomplish
that
back
in
2017.
I
believe
it
was,
but
it's
something
that
we
are
still
working
with
our
rescue
partners
to
maintain
here
in
muskogee
county,
because,
if
we're
no
kill,
then
they're
also
no
kill.
So
it's
just
a
group
effort
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
this.
But
I
wanted
to
show
this
to
show
you
exactly
where
we
were
in
2021.
We
had
no
euthanasia
due
to
capacity
2020,
no
euthanasia
due
to
capacity
2019.
AG
AG
They
also
do
an
amazing
job
and
then
we
have
a
whole
bunch
of
other
smaller
rescues
that
are
in
the
surrounding
counties
that
also
work
with
us
as
well,
and
that's
just
another
one
to
give
you
the
numbers
that
they
actually
did
pull
for
the
year,
and
you
can
see
that
in
2022,
posh,
humane
right
now
is
up
to
108.
Animal
sos
is
up
to
210
animals
pulled,
but
I'd
like
to
just
recap
again
that
they
can
only
pull
when
they
have
space
available
as
well.
AG
I
AG
All
right,
so
all
of
these
reports
to
include
our
department
of
agricultural
annual
inspection
is
also
on
our
website.
That's
columbusga.org
public
works,
slash
animal
underscore
control,
so
some
of
our
accolades.
We
realize
that
we,
we
have
a
hard
job
and
I
recognize
that,
but
we
so
appreciate
it
when
the
public-
and
you
all
send
us
kudos
and
encouragement
to
keep
doing
what
we're
doing,
because
it
is
a
hard
job,
but
just
to
put
up
a
few
to
give
you
an
example
of
some
of
the
things
that
we
received.
AG
The
first
one
is
from
mrs
williams
and
she
said
that
I
know
that
you
all
have
the
most
thankless
jobs,
but
I
do
appreciate
you.
I
was
so
distraught
this
evening
when
I
hit
a
dog,
a
sweet
dog
on
university
avenue.
I
didn't
even
get
her
name,
so
I
can
she
comforted
me
and
she
hugged
me
saying
it
wasn't
my
fault.
She
comforted
the
owner
of
the
dog
as
well.
AG
Thank
you,
young
lady
she's,
talking
about
one
of
our
animal
care
and
control
officers,
and
I
apologize
for
didn't
get
for
not
getting
your
name,
but
you
make
columbus
georgia
proud.
That's
just
one
of
them
and
then
our
own
mayor
pro
tem.
We
deal
with
hogs
and
we
appreciate
you
sending
us
that.
Thank
you
for
those
hogs,
but
that's
the
other
aspect
of
animal
control.
A
lot
of
people
don't
think
about,
but
we've
got
to
handle
the
geese,
the
hogs,
the
horses,
the
goats,
the
cows,
and
we
deal
with
it
all
right.
AG
AG
On
sunday
may
16th
mr
burks
went
to
a
snake
call
she
had
in
her
garage
and
he
was
able
to
apprehend
the
suspect
and
get
it
taken
care
of
and
out
of
her
garage,
and
then
he
gave
her
some
suggestions
about
what
she
had
in
her
garage
that
attracted
the
snake
to
come
in
to
her
garage.
So
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
we
try
and
do
to
educate
our
public.
But
we
really
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
they,
let
us
know
how
much
they
appreciate
us.
AG
On
the
left
hand,
side
is
a
letter
that
we,
a
news
release
actually
that
we
put
out
back
in
2017
that
actually
just
informed
our
community
that
we
were
considered
a
no-kill
community
at
that
time
and
it's
something
that
we
were
very
proud
of
and
the
next
one
is
just
another
email
from
joe
morway,
who
was
just
very
thankful
and
happy
with
our
animal
control
officer,
who
happened
to
only
be
22
years
old,
but
he
went
through
a
lot
of
things
to
help
mr
morway
with
his
issues,
and
we
just
really
appreciated
his
call.
AG
N
And
so
yeah
introduce
yourself
but
talk
us
through
what
happened
with
the
two
animals
that
gave
a
flurry
of
emails,
text
messages
and
everything
else.
Okay,.
L
All
right
so
that
it
was
saturday,
I
believe,
and
we
all
of
our
40
runs-
were
full
population.
General
population
was
full
all
our
six
runs
in
the
back.
They
were
also
full.
We
had
already
reached
out
to
our
rescue
partners
all
day
that
day
we
put
everything
on
the
internet
stating
that
we
needed
help
someone
needed
to
come
adopt.
We
reclaim
the
animals,
we
didn't
get
any
more
help
period.
L
L
L
L
The
you
have
to
keep
six
runs
open
for
holding.
That
means
that,
where
the
animal
control
officers
will
have
room
to
bring
the
animals
and
they
get
processed
and
have
to
stay
there
until
they
get
processed
and
moved
to
general
population,
but
we
didn't
have
any
runs
in
general
population,
because
all
40
of
those
were
full
as
well.
P
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
summarize
what
I
think
you
just
told
me.
You
had
filled
up
every
spot,
you
could
put
a
dog
in
and
you
put
out
a
call
to
all
of
your
rescue
partners
and
nobody
responded.
L
L
So
we
were
actually
put
out
that
we
needed
four
runs
that
day
yeah,
but
because
we
still
had
two
runs
in
isolation
left.
We
usually
don't
put
the
general
population
dogs
there,
just
only
ones
that
are
injured.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
have
to
put
any
of
the
sleep.
So
we
used
those
two
runs
and
we
still
had
two
dogs
that
had
to
be
put
to
sleep.
P
L
Do
via
text
message-
and
we
usually
do
three
four
and
five
times
a
day.
I
sent
out
a
text
message
this
morning
at
seven.
I
think
it
was
like
7
46
that
we
needed
six
runs
this
morning
and
that's
done
all
through
today.
L
And
facebook
we
also
posted
on
facebook
as
well.
If
you
go
through
our
feeds,
you
will
see-
and
I
know
it
looks
kind
of
disturbing,
but
it's
always
such
urgent,
urgent
income
come
claim,
reclaim
your
animal
come
adopt
or
rescue,
and
that's
a
general
feat
that
you'll
see
on
our
facebook
page
all
the
time.
J
J
So
what
I've?
What
I've
seen
is
that
the
facebook
it
happened?
You
know
that
a
facebook
post
happened
five
minutes
before
you
closed
on
fi
at
five
o'clock,
but
I
did
not
check
to
see
there
must
have
been
other
posts
that
day
prior
to.
L
That
particular
day
we
did
the
facebook
post
because
usually
we
don't
fill
up
right
at
the
beginning
of
the
day.
So
if
a
dog
comes
in
at
two
o'clock
and
I've
already
put
out
that
I
need
four
runs,
then
I'm
gonna
have
to
turn
around
in
the
next
hour
and
put
out
then
now
I
need
six
runs,
so
we
can't
monitor
how
the
animals
come
in.
It's
just
on
what
comes
through
our
door.
What
the
animal
control
officers
bring
in.
L
L
J
J
Right,
okay!
Well,
I
I
appreciate
you
know
you
explaining
this
to
us
you,
you
know
you
coming
here
and
answering
our
questions
and
just
clearing
clearing
the
air
in
and
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
give
you.
The
opportunity
to
you
know,
explain
your
side
of
the
story,
because
there's
always
two
sides
of
every
story.
G
Wanted
to
touch
on
a
couple
things,
and,
and
what
I
heard
you
say
and
what
I
was
trying
to
get
from
the
public
and
reading
you
know
the
many
posts
and
and
what
was
being
communicated
out
in
the
public.
Is
that
what
I
just
heard
you
say
was
that
the
communication
that
is
the
same
as
always
that
the
emails
went
out.
You
did
everything
you
could
do
to
try
to
find
a
place
to
put
these
animals.
Yes,.
G
G
I
I
have
to
ask
this
question.
I
guess
everybody
knew
that
paul's
knew
it.
Other
agencies
knew
it.
I'm
sure
there's
there
were.
I
guess
my
questions
folks
is
around.
Were
there
numerous
attempts
to
try
to
get
these
animals
to
place
them
or
to
try
to
find
adoption?
Why?
Why
would
what
was
the
issue
with
these
two
animals
that
they
had
been
there
for
so
long
that
just
what
was
the?
G
L
Right
so
the
volunteers
come
in
to
walk
the
animals
and
they
can
kind
of
pick
up
on
their
behavior.
We
didn't
have
any
aggression
issues
with
them,
because
sometimes
we
do
label
them
as
pet
aggressive
dog,
aggressive
or
people
aggressive.
So
the
animals
were
okay.
They
were
just
overlooked.
No
one
wanted
those
two
animals
they've
been
there
with
us
for
a
long
time.
G
L
That's
sad,
they
were
both
mixed
pits.
G
Okay,
the
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
touch
on
is
that
the
you
know-
and
I
tell
everybody
this
and
look-
I'm
a
proud.
My
family
has
adopted
pets.
I
love
them.
You
know
chewy
gulchy
and
little
man
they're,
just
awesome
and
copper.
They're
awesome
and
you
know
my
daughter
would
take
any
and
everything
she
can
find
on
the
street
matter
of
fact.
G
She
does
and
then
tries
to
try
to
find
a
home,
but
I
also
have
very
good
friends
and
that
are
veterinarians,
and
I
think
we
have
some
of
the
best
veterinarians
in
the
southeast
right
here
in
columbus,
georgia.
I
think
we've
got
some
really
really
fabulous
animal
physicians.
G
You
know
before
I
chose
a
different
career
path.
I
was
actually
going
to
veterinarian
school
to
to
to
practice
that,
because
I
loved
animals
so
well,
and
then
you
know
it
just
I
went
a
different.
I
turned
the
curve
and
went
a
different
way,
but
you
know
I
don't
know
and
I've
had
experiences.
It's
tough.
You
know
I've
cried
and
cried
many
nights,
because
I've
had
to
put
some
of
my
pets
down.
G
It
hurts-
and
I
just
don't
know
of
any
veterinarian-
that's
going
to
treat
an
animal
inhumanely
and
cause
something
like
that
to
be
painful
and
tragic,
and
some
of
the
responses
I
heard
I
even
heard
somebody
use
the
word
murder.
G
And
I'm
I'm
just
sure
he
does
the
best
he
can
in
those
situations
and
from
my
understanding
it's
usually
a
a
painless
process,
and-
and
certainly
I
want
that
for
my
animals-
and
I
want
it
for
these
animals,
so
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
public
it
knows
that
this
is
not
an
attempt
to
violently
harm
an
animal
which
is
being
communicated.
That's
just
wrong.
L
G
That
gives
it
hurts
giving
people
a
bad
reputation.
It's
just
not
true,
because
it's
a
minute,
nobody
does
that,
but
the
veterinarian
am
I
right.
I
just
don't
know
of
a
veterinarian.
L
So
excuse
me:
we
do
have
vet
techs,
as
well
as
the
shelter
supervisor
they're
certified.
Also
to
put
the
animals
you
may
need
to
sleep.
B
People
are
people
are
passionate
about
pets.
That's
that's!
That's
a
good
thing.
People
in
this
community
really
are
concerned,
and
they
do
every
thing
they
can
to
try
to
get
these
these
animals
adopted
out,
and
I
and
I-
and
I
really
believe
that
our
animal
control
center
tries
to
work
closely
with
them.
I
can
tell
you
right
now:
there's
no
way
that
the
city
can
perform
the
way
we
have
been
able
to
perform
without
those
volunteers
they
are
with.
B
Z
Of
course,
as
you
all
know,
I
get
all
the
same
emails
and
everything-
and
I
email
both
the
directors
but
just
to
be
clear
on
tv
for
everyone
and
tell
me
if
I'm
wrong,
if
there's
a
non-profit
out
there
and
a
bunch
of
donors
who
want
to
build
runs,
these
are
simple,
concrete
runs
and
that's
the
issue
is
whether
or
not
we
can
store
the
vet.
The
actual
animals,
whether
or
not
these
vet
cleans
can
help
pause,
those
kind
of
ones.
Z
Z
AG
AG
B
Think
I
think
the
challenge
is
that
the
the
animal
control
center
is
is
the
it's
an
easy.
It's
an
easy
organization
to
react
to
when
the
real
issue
is
people
that
don't
care
for
the
pets
they
take
these
pets,
they
don't
treat
them
right
and
then,
when
they
get
tired
of
them,
they
just
let
them
wander
off
and
and
so
the
sins
of
those
folks.
B
We're
left
with
legal
requirements
of
of
how
to
maintain
that
facility
and-
and-
and
it
is
listen,
it
is
the
most
distasteful
thing
I
can
think
of-
is
to
try
to
have
to
put
any
living
creature
to
sleep,
but
but
it
it,
unfortunately,
is
a
responsibility
of
the
municipality
and
we've
been
just
so
blessed
to
have
all
these
partners
that
we
were
able
to
keep
from
doing
that
for
a
number
of
years,
and
hopefully
it'll
be
another
number
of
years
before
we
have
to
again,
unfortunately,
seems
like
a
trend
right
now.
B
We've
got
more
turn-ins
than
we've
got
adoptions
and
that's
not
going
to
lead
to
a
happy
ending.
So
we
just
got
to
keep
working
with
the
partners
and.
AG
I
would
also
like
to
just
interject
as
well
that
when
we
get
a
when
an
alcohol
officer
comes
in
with
a
load
of
animals,
if
he's
got
two
or
three
that
have
been
running
together,
we
will
put
all
three
in
one
room.
We
don't
just
separate
them
and
put
them
in
their
own
runs
because
we
know
we
need
run.
Q
Yes,
I
had
wanted
to
ask
director
short
about
the
animal
control
council
or.
AG
Q
Board
when
you
all
meet
when's
the
next
meeting,
I
know
several
people
I
think
I
had
mentioned
it
to
counselor
house
and
also
walker,
because
we
were
getting
kind
of.
Q
Q
Oh
she
scared
me.
I
thought
somebody
could
fail,
but
but
not
not
working
together
and
if
it
can,
if
we
can
really
work
because
the
advisory
board
is
really
there
as
an
extension
of
the
council,
the
city
to
work
with
us,
and
if
we
can
work
together
because
it
seems
to
be
some
some
disconnections.
D
AG
Q
Q
Are
them
so
we
just
we
have
to
work
together
absolutely,
and
you
know,
as
I
was
telling
councillor
woodson
when
I
did
visit,
I
saw
a
lot
of
mixed
pits:
a
lot
of
people,
don't
like
adopting
kids,
but
exactly
what
you
said
earlier
about
breeding.
Q
You
know
family
of
little
puppies,
you
know,
wandering
and-
and
that
really
am
from
what
I
see,
I'm
saying
and
probably
like
district
four
and
one,
because
we
bump
up
against
you
each
of
each
other
on
council
barns,
but
in
our
area
and
at
steam
mill
road.
You
see
a
lot
of
pits
you,
you
see,
you
know
a
lot
in
forest
road.
Q
G
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
too:
I
don't
know
if
people
realize
this,
but
this
council
has
been
very
proactive
in
trying
to
stop
some
of
that
stuff
that
you
just
talked
about.
We
how
many
times
the
city
manager
last
year,
we
did
it
last
year
year
before
year,
before
put
it
back
on
the
list
or
send
it
to
the
state
to
deal
with
the
puppy
milling.
We
we
tried
to
address
that
many
many
times
to
slow
that
kind
of
activity
down.
G
G
Bobby
and
you
know
in
trying
to
get,
they
were
very
proactive
and
we
tried
to
support
and
help,
and
we
we've
continued
to
do
that,
and
we
will
continue
to
try
to
find
ways
to
to
improve
that
in
the
state.
But
we're
like
you
said
I
don't
think
people
realize
but
we're
this
municipality
is
tied
under
state
laws
and
sometimes
it
just
it's
hard
to
get
around.
I
G
Q
Yeah
I
had
one
more
question:
what
was
the
fine
or
the
punishment
if
individuals
are
illegally
or
found
illegally
breeding
dogs?
Is
it
a
fine
or
like
imprisonment.
AG
Breeding
is
the
same.
You'd
have
to
have
their
prop
appropriate
facility
to
do
that.
Type
of
breeding
and
you'd
also
have
to
have
a
business
license
if
you're
selling
the
dog.
So
there
are
various
factors
that
would
go
into
what
we
would
actually
cite
the
individual
for
if
we
found
that
they
were
breeding
and
selling
the
animals.
Okay,.
D
N
AG
Sir
okay,
so
we
want
to
continue
the
momentum
that
we've
got
as
far
as
maintaining
zero
euthanasia
due
to
capacity,
but
these
are
some
things
that
we
definitely
need
to
put
into
play
for
the
animal
care
and
control
center.
First
and
foremost,
we
need
to
hire
a
permanent
division
manager,
whether
that
be
a
veterinarian
or
an
individual.
That's
fine,
because
we
have
to
have
a
vet
on
staff.
We
just
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
have
them
do
both
jobs.
AG
I
think
a
lot
of
the
hesitation
in
the
past
was
because,
if
you
remember,
special
enforcement
also
fell
under
animal
control
or
public
works,
and
they
worked
out
of
the
same
building,
but
special
enforcement
now
has
been
moved
over
to
inspections
and
codes.
So
all
the
individual
will
be
dealing
with
is
animal
control
issues,
so
we're
still
hopeful
that
we'll
find
someone
that
will
be
able
to
take
that
we
would
love
to
have
a
medical
suite
to
be
able
to
do
all
of
our
spay
neuters
before
that
they
are
adopted
right
now.
AG
We're
still
working
with
the
voucher
program.
Paz
does
a
lot
of
our
spay
neuters
as
well,
but
that
is
something
that
is
just
a
dream
for
us.
We
would
need
to
hire
an
administrative
coordinator.
We
need
to
hire
some
additional
animal
control
officers
right
now
we're
five
down,
even
with
those
five
being
back
in
place.
We
would
still
need
more
officers
to
be
able
to
accommodate
the
entire
city
and
be
responsive
to
all
of
those
calls.
AG
We
would
love
to
have
an
animal
control
cruelty
investigator.
That's
something
that
the
animal
community
would
really
like
to
see,
because
we
do
find
some
cruelty
going
on
in
the
in
muskogee
county.
We,
when
I
say
we
I
mean
our
animal
control
officers
cannot
cite
on
a
state
law.
We
can
only
cite
on
a
local
law,
so
we
would
want
this
investigator
to
have
the
same,
arresting
powers
as
a
police
officer
and
be
able
to
cite
in
the
same.
In
the
same
way,
we
would
need
our
animal
control
software
right
now.
AG
AG
Right
now
we
do
a
great
job
getting
them
out
on
social
media,
but
we
need
a
professional
in
there
that
can
really
get
our
animals
out
there
and
get
them
adopted
our
calendar
of
events
right
now
we're
doing
market
days,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
them,
but
I
will
bring
up
the
red
white
and
wolf
holiday
celebration
if
you've
never
been
to
the
shelter
for
a
holiday
celebration,
you
need
to
come.
It
is
a
lot
of
fun,
they
go
all
out
and
it
is
really
a
great
day
for
family.
AG
If
you
have
kids
or
grandkids
that
you
would
like
to
bring-
and
I've
got
listed,
all
the
other
ones
that
we
are
going
to
be
participating
in.
If
we
have
a
saturday
that
we
don't
have
a
designated
event
for
you
can
find
us
at
either
petco
or
pet,
supermarket,
making
sure
that
our
animals
are
out
there.
It's
considered
an
offside
adoption
to
make
sure
that
they
are
being
adopted,
and
that
is
my
entire
presentation.
P
House
for
the
animal
cruelty
investigator
to
be
able
to
make
you
got
to
go
issue.
Citations
you'd
have
to
be
post
certified.
N
You
look
her
in
the
ass
and
answer
your
questions
and
I
think
she
has
done
that
and-
and
I
really
want
to
thank
katrina
and
commend
you
for
your
your
work
yeah
you
I
mean,
I'm
I'm
pleased
with
your
work
and
and
for
drayo
sure
you
know
she
amazes
me
that
she
can
come
and
whatever
she's
worked,
every
division
at
public
works,
and
so
you
think
she's
out
there
working
the
animal
care
center
when
she
can
get
up
and
present
and
talk
to
you
like
that,
answer
your
questions,
but
that's
not
what
she
does
every
day,
but
she
can
talk
trash.
N
She
can
talk
stormwater,
you
know,
jack
of
all
trades,
you
know
and
and
I'm
you're
very
impressive
and
I
think
about
yvonne
ivy
when
I
see
drell,
because
yvonne
is
the
same
way
if
you
want
to
talk
about
revenue
or
what's
going
on
with
alcohol,
put
yvonne
ivy
right
through
at
the
podium.
G
I
hope
I
don't
step
out
of
line
here,
but
I
I
think
councilor
thomas
made
a
point.
I
heard
her
say
that
that's
up
next
to,
I
guess
the
yard
waste
matter
that
this
is
one
of
the
top
concerns
that
we
deal
with
all
the
time
which
is
you
know.
We
do
hear
a
lot
about
it
and
I
know
there
was
an
effort
we
didn't
touch
on
that
day.
G
I
don't
think
in
an
effort
to
try
to
go
a
different
path
and
then,
when
the
city
was,
we
were
heading
in
that
direction,
but
yeah
you
know,
and
a
lot
of
people
are
still
asking
about
that
and
I
don't
think
they
know
the
real
story
there,
but
yeah.
Let
me
just
say
this
I'll.
Let
you
comment.
G
G
You
know
there's
some
things
that
our
city
does
really
really
well
and
I
don't
think
anybody
else
is
going
to
be
able
to
match
up
like
I,
you
know
it's
nobody.
I
don't
know
who
would
want
to
do
this
job,
but
just
a
dead
animal
pickup,
that's
impressive!
G
How
we
keep
our
streets
clean,
I
mean
I'm
I've
been
really
impressed
over
the
years
with
that.
I
think
we,
you
know
the
things
like
rabbit
animals
or
the
feral
hogs
or
the
you
know,
or
or
the
dangerous
kind
of
animals
and
things
like
that.
That's
something
I
think
we
we
do
well.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
is
ever
going
to
be
able
to
match
up
to
that.
G
You
know:
there's
some
things
on
the
enforcement
side
that
you
got
to
have
law
enforcement,
all
working
together
and
the
communication
side
that
we
just
do
those
things.
Well,
so
I
I
you
know,
I'm
not
sure
that
somebody
wants
to
take
on
something
a
hundred
percent,
because
I
I'm
sure
there's
going
to
be
some
failures
out
there
and
and
but
there
may
be.
You
know
I
talked
to
the
folks
in
harris
county.
G
All
the
time-
and
they
seem
to
have
a
good
working
relationship
at
their
shelter
and
and
with
the
city
and
the
city
manager
and
that
relationship,
and
they
I've
been
told
they
they
have
an
act,
they
they
work
together
and
they
have
an
excellent
relationship
all
across
the
board,
and
I'm
hoping
we
can
do
that.
But
I
think
one
of
the
other
things
that
I
hear
and
the
council
members
here
is
about
the
what
happened.
G
N
On
that
yeah,
well,
let
me
just
say
I
I
I
agree
with
you
and
I
I
will,
because
the
day
has
has
been
long
and
we've
got
some
other
important
things
two.
I
want
to
come
back
with
you
with
a
follow-up
update
and
address
those
things
you
know
where
we
left
off
at
with
contracting
out
and
where
we
are
at
this
point
and
then
maybe
some
thoughts
about
our
way
forward.
So
I'd
love
to
do
a
follow-up
update
on
this.
That's
fair
enough!
Thank
you,
mr
man.
Sure.
Z
Z
Z
But
you
did
because
you
you're,
because
you
care
about
this.
That's
right,
and
I
really
want
this-
is
not
a
topic
for
today.
This
is
going
to
take
take
some
research,
but
I
want
us
to
look
into
whether
or
not
we
could
offer
citizens
a
bounty
for
some
of
these
very
simple
misdemeanor
crimes
where
they
are
our
only
witness
the
only
way
we
can
handle
it.
I.
N
If
that's
it
me
or
we're
gonna,
thank
you
for
coming
ryan
is
gonna,
be
very
short.
It's
just
about
the
property
at
six
and
eighth
and
then
and
we'll
wrap
up
with
pam
and
she'll
be
short
as
well
of
arp
brain.
AI
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council,
mr
city
manager,
just
a
very
brief
update
on
600
8th
street,
I'm
going
to
put
up
a
picture
here
so
everybody's
on
the
same
page
about
what
structure
we're
talking
about.
So
this
is
down
in
the
liberty,
district,
the
historic
brick
structure,
brick,
shell
building,
that
you
see
there
on
the
corner
of
6th
avenue
and
8th
street
this.
We
talked
about
this
last
time
at
the
april
12th
council
meeting
when
it
was
on
the
demolition
ordinance.
AI
The
direction
at
that
meeting
was
to
do
a
little
bit
more
research
and
come
up
with
some
options
and
report
back
to
you.
That's
what
what
we're
here
to
do
today.
So
just
a
little
history,
inspections
and
code
is
at
a
case
on
this
property.
Since
2008,
the
current
owner
purchased
the
property
in
2018.
AI
We
reached
out
to
him
in
early
2019
to
try
to
get
some
response
and
movement
didn't
receive
any
spots
response
until
june
of
2021,
again,
council
approved
the
demolition
of
the
structure
and
april
12
council
meeting
since
april.
The
inspections
code
has
attempted
to
contact
the
owner
many
times
weekly.
I
try
to
get
in
touch
with
them
on
the
phone
as
well
as
we've
sent
several
written
correspondence
to
try
to
get
some
type
of
response
and
haven't
had
any
luck
with
that.
AI
So
I
have
several
pictures
here
just
to
run
through
just
to
show
the
existing
condition
of
the
structure
and
why
I
have
some
concerns
about
it.
I
took
these
yesterday
so
they're
as
up-to-date
as
you
can
get
again
just
another
view
from
8th
street.
Again
you
can
see
the
weeds
everything
growing
up
inside
the
building.
Here's,
the
interior
of
the
building.
AI
Again,
it's
an
unreinforced
masonry
structure.
The
only
other
type
of
structural
supports
are
those
beams
you
see
across
the
top
that
are
helping
keep
those
two
walls
up.
You
will
notice
that
the
wall
at
the
end
of
the
building,
which
is
facing
sixth
avenue,
doesn't
have
any
of
that
additional
support,
so
it's
just
being
held
up
by
the
other.
The
other
masonry
walls
here
are
some
of
the
very
concerning
things
which
are
some
large
cracks
beginning
to
form
again.
This
is
on
the
wall.
AI
That's
directly
adjacent
to
6th
avenue,
so
the
sidewalk
which
you'll
see
in
the
next
picture
is
directly
under
this
brick
facade
again,
that's
that
crack
is
on
the
other
side
of
that
wall.
You
can
see
how
close
it
is
to
the
sidewalk
and
and
the
street
there.
You
can
see
the
trees
growing
out
in
the
sidewalk
I'll
probably
have
to
get
with
public
works,
to
help
us
clear
that
out,
so
the
sidewalk
can
be
be
clear.
AI
This
is
the
interior
of
the
one
story
part,
so
you
got
the
two-story
part
and
then
next
to
it
is
a
little
one
story
part.
This
is
what
it
looks
like
inside.
So
you
can
see.
There's
some
trash
in
the
bottom
right
people
hanging
out
in
there
littering
those
types
of
things
as
well
as
all
the
all
the
trees.
AI
AI
So
a
few
options
again,
we've
looked
at
it.
We've
talked
to
some
people
around
town,
so
first
option
is
to
move
forward
with
the
demolition
that
was
approved
again.
The
cost
for
that
is
thirty,
four
thousand
five.
Ninety
nine,
a
second
option
which
we
started
the
process
and
sent
the
required
notification.
AI
Letters
to
the
owner
would
be
to
abate
all
the
solid
waste
and
weeds
which
would
be
taking
that
roof
out
any
other
trash,
as
well
as
clearing
all
the
trees
in
weeds,
as
well
as
securing
the
property
in
order
to
secure
the
property
safely.
You'd
have
to
close
the
sidewalk
we'd
have
to
put
a
fence
that
far
away
from
the
building,
because
we
can't
leave
the
sidewalk
open
because
then
the
building
potentially
could
just
fall
onto
the
sidewalk
and
the
third
option
which
we
talked
about
at
the
april
meeting.
AI
I
was
to
get
an
analysis
from
structural
engineer
just
to
confirm
the
condition
of
the
structure
and
and
how
it's
doing,
and
so
the
cost
of
that
analysis
is
about
four
to
six
thousand
dollars.
The
first
two
options:
we
could
place
a
lien
on
the
property,
but
the
second
one
or
the
third
one.
We
would
not
be
able
to
place
a
place
in
lien.
We
just
have
to
come
out
of
pocket
for
that.
B
AI
D
M
You
no
one
from
this
historical
group
that
we're
here.
AI
M
Know
but
they
had
the
opportunity
they
came
down
here.
You
gave
them
enough
time.
I
was
in
agreement
with
them
because
I
know
they
they
in
philadelphia.
They
go
they're,
really
good
for
maintaining
historical
sites.
That
was
my
because
once
it's
torn
down,
that's
it
the
end
of
the
story,
but
if
they
haven't
made
overtures
positive,
something
concrete,
then
they
really
have
no
ground
to
stand
on,
but
that's
my
position
so.
N
So,
mr
mayor,
if
I
may
so,
we
see
the
photos
and
the
mayor
and
council
have
been
made
aware
that
this
property
is
a
health
hazard.
It's
a
nuisance,
ryan's
opinion
our
icc.
Certified
person's
opinion
is
that
the
the
building
is
not
structurally
sound
and
you
see
the
cracks
in
the
wall.
You
see,
the
roof
has
collapsed.
That
kids
can
go
in
and
get
underneath
that
wood,
it's
probably
breeding
snakes
and
and
so
we
could
spend
four
to
six
thousand
dollars.
N
I
think,
with
a
structural
engineer,
to
tell
us
what
I
think
we
already
know,
and
then
we
lose
that
four
to
six
thousand
dollars
or
we
could
move
forward
with
demolition,
and
so
I
asked
ryan
to
bring
this
presentation
to
you
once
again,
because
if
historic,
columbus
or
bihar
or
someone
want
to
do
something
about
it,
I
mean
they
can
give
us
the
money
and
step
up.
And
you
know,
but
you
know
the
owner
is
not
responsible
and
I
don't
know
why
we
should
leave
this
property
and
it's
it.
N
He
could
go
out
and
try
and
board
it
up
and
suggest
it,
but
if
he,
if
they
go
out
and
board
it
up
and
they're
boarding
up
a
wall,
that's
already
cracked
and
it
collapses
at
that
time,
and
then
we
got
a
problem
problems
with
the
ownership.
So
I
don't
know
I
I
needed
direction
from
you.
What
do
you
want
us
to
do?
The.
B
Problems
with
the
ownership,
because,
if
we
we
could,
we
could
divert
that
34
and
even
you
know,
make
a
forty
thousand
dollar
commitment
to
partner
with
one
of
these
historic
foundations
to
try
to
save
it,
but
she's
not
gonna,
save
it,
for
somebody
doesn't
care
anything
about
it
right
now.
So
that's
the
challenge
we
can't
I
mean
we
could
I
don't
think
it
would
qualify
for
eminent
domain
unless
you
tried
to
tie
the
danger
it
presents
now
to
the
public
good.
B
But
to
me
I
think
we
then
move
right
away
with
a
partnership
to
try
to
get
it
shored
up
or
we
need
to
take
it
down
because
we're
going
to
end
up
with
the
city
being
sued
and
somebody
being
hurt.
B
I
think
if
you
could
partner
with
hcf
the
the
historic
columbus
whatever
and
try
to
put
it
back
in
in
decent
repair,
at
least
not
finish
it,
but
to
finish
it
and
make
it
structurally
sound,
but
and
it's
a
big,
but
you
can't
do
that
when
it's
still
is
owned
by
somebody
else,
and
I
don't
think
we
have
time
to
go
through
all
those
other
channels
to
obtain
ownership.
N
B
J
J
B
J
B
And
motion
and
a
second
move
forward
demolition.
Now
these
other
counselors
here
to
the
motion,
colonel
colonel
house,
counselor
house,
yeah
you're,
both.
P
AI
AI
U
And
my
concern
has
been
all
along
what
our
liability
will
be.
If
somebody
goes
in
there
and
gets
hurt,
we
will
suffer
that
that
consequence,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
you
need
to
do
something
before
you
can
get
the
the
demolition
guy
out
there
to
make
sure
that
there's
no,
you
can't
get
in
there.
I
really
am
concerned
that
I've
driven
by
there
several
times-
and
I
don't
know
that
that
it
can
be
saved.
U
If
looking
to
the
pictures
that
that
you
have
put
up
here,
I
would
want
us
to
do
whatever
we
need
to
do
in
the
three
weeks
before
we
can
get
started
on
the
demolition,
if
you
will
to
make
sure
that
it's
secure
so
that
people
can't
go
in
there
and
get
get
hurt,
but
I
am
in
favor
of
the
motion
to
to
demolish
the
structure.
Thank
you,
council.
G
Davis,
I'm
sure
we've
reached
out
many
times
to
this
property
owner
and
I'm.
I
feel
confident
today
that
I
know
that
the
owner's
an
out
of
town
owner-
and
they
know
about
this-
they
were
contacted
and
told
to
come
down
here
and
take
care
of
it.
I
I
don't
see
that
happening,
so
it's
just
a
pure
blatant
neglect
in
my
opinion,
but
I
I
feel
like
the
city's
done
everything
they
can
do
here
and
you
just
got
somebody
that
just
really
doesn't
care
and
somewhat
begging
you
to
do
it.
V
Yes,
I
was
going
to
make
the
motion,
but
it
was
already
done
as
the
district
representative
take
it
down,
ask
them
to
put
it
on
the
priority:
stop
whatever
other
one
they're
doing
and
get
to
this
one,
because
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult
for
you
to
board
it
up
or
put
a
fence
around
it.
You
just
need
to
tell
our
contractor
whatever
you're
working
on
stop
and
do
this
one
and
we
need
to
just
put
the
lien
on
it.
V
I
think
he
someone
mentioned
it
already.
I
think
he
wants
us
to
do
it,
so
he
doesn't
have
to
do
it.
Then
it's
clear
for
him
to
sell
the
property.
So,
okay,
you
want
to
sell
that
property
here
are
the
taxes
here?
Is
the
demolition
cost?
You
can't
sell
that
till
you
pay
that
off.
So
I
I
would
ask
for
you
just
to
call
them,
and
you
can
see
how
everyone
here
feels
ask
them
to
stop
whatever
project
he's
on
and
get
on
this
one.
We
can't
wait
two
weeks.
Yes,.
D
E
B
M
I
want
to
thank
you
officer,
ziegler
and
officer
lewis,
for
going
out
to
terminal
court.
If
you
can
email
me,
everything
that
we
walked
around,
you
all
did
an
excellent
job.
M
I
I
hate
that
you
had
to
put
up
with
the
rhetoric
that
you
had
this
person's
agenda
on
and
you
saw
the
contention
between
me
and
that
individual,
but
I
stopped
it,
but
I
apologize
for
that
on
behalf
of
the
city,
because
you
you're
not
subject
to
come
out
there
to
hear
something
like
that,
and
I
wasn't
going
to
tolerate
it
one
I
have
a
concern
we
all
walked
around
the
city
manager
talked
about
snakes.
M
There
was
not
one
place
there
that
was
mowed
as
as
it
should
have
been,
and
the
sewage
you
saw
the
problems
with
the
sewage,
and
so,
if
you
keep
me
abreast
of
what's
going
on,
I
am
concerned
about
those
holes.
If
anyone
who
did
not
know
the
people
there
who
lived
there,
then
they
had
a
hole
big
enough
for
half
of
me
to
go
in
grass
around
it.
The
sewage
there
was
unused.
It
was
I've,
been
in
my
I've
smelled
some
ranked
orders.
M
It
was
that
was
rank,
people
shouldn't
have
to
live,
and
these
are
people
living
in
one
building.
Thanks
to
you
and
officer
ziegler
and
officer
lewis,
there's
a
woman
that
I
knew
when
I
was
two
weeks
prior.
M
She
had
surgery,
major
surgery,
staying
and
her
door
was
right
by
that
that
sewage
there,
on
top
of
her
she's
in
her
80s
older
than
I
am
and
and
the
other
part
of
the
building
is
dilapidated.
She
shouldn't
have
to
live
so
I'm
hoping
that
you
are
working.
I
I
heard
the
the
conversation
as
you
heard,
but
what
part
of
your
job
is
safety,
individual
safety
and
so
bar
and
all
the
political
nonsense
rhetoric
that
was
verbal.
M
We
need
to
try
to
work
on
relocating
her
because
she's
she
has
some
very
some
health
issues.
Let
me
just
put
a
tree
like
that.
She
does
not
need
to
be
in
that
environment,
so
one
of
part
of
the
things
that
can
be
them
going
in
and
that's
that
whole
area.
That
needs
to
be
each
one
of
those
owners
to
know
this
children
there
and
to
get
those
holes
filled
up
because
I'm
thinking
any
one
of
those
children
running
the
children.
M
So
if
you
keep
emailing
me
the
the
list
of
things
and
just
keep
me
abreast
of
the
the
progress,
I
appreciate
and
thank
you,
mr
city
manager,
the
director
was
out
there
and
the
heat
and
everything
else
that
was
there.
The
rank
odors
are
walking
up
there
and
grass
this
high,
along
with
officer,
ziegler
and
officer
lewis.
If
you
can
convey
that
I'm
doing
it
from
the
city
master,
he
knows
for
you,
you
can
convey
it
to
officer
ziegler
and
officer
lewis.
Yes,.
V
Yes,
it's
not
for
you,
it's
for
the
city
manager
before
he
goes
to
his
next,
but
stay
there,
because
she
has
a
question
for
you,
city
manager.
I
don't
want
to
forget.
I
wrote
it
like
three
times
and
I
still
didn't
ask
you:
can:
can
we
get
in
touch
with
three
three
columbus
or
columbus
trees
or
whatever
and
work
on
fort
benning
road?
We
did
that
beautiful
landscaping.
V
V
When
we,
when
we
do
redevelopment
like
that
and
they're
about
to
finish,
they
need
to
beautify
it,
and
I
meant
to
I
keep.
I
keep
making
notes
and
I
keep
forgetting
it
looks
terrible
because
you
have
so
many
businesses
and
we
took
a
lot
of
the
parking
area
away
and
all
you
see
when
you
ride
down
the
street
a
bunch
of
sidewalks
and
roads
and
there's
little
portions,
so
we
could
put
a
couple
trees,
every
other
block
or
something
to
beautify
it
or
paint
the
light
pose.
V
I
mean
we
did
a
beautiful
job
on
the
roads,
but
the
aesthetics
of
the
rest
of
it
is
awful,
and
since
it's
been
done,
I
noticed
more
traffic
and
the
businesses
are
cleaning
up
and
they're
doing
their
part.
So
we
really
need
to
do
something
and
I
think
it's
lisa.
Are
you
I'm
not
sure?
Thank
you
very
much.
I
saw
some
I've
been
complaining
for
a
while,
but
I
did
see
some
seats
and
shelters
on
the
bus
stops
on
south
limpkin
road
and
on
victory
drive.
V
D
Q
Yes,
this
is
for
director
pruitt,
miss
gwen
walker
on
urban
avenue.
I
think
we
had
a
property
on
that
list
for
demolition.

So
these
expenses
are
eligible
from
march
of
21
through
december
of
24,
and
then
they
must
be
expended
by
december
of
26th
so
out
of
the
first
round
of
allocation,
where
we
are
with
all
of
the
projects
that
council
has
approved
the
automation
of
the
garbage
collection.
AF
That
budget
is
right
at
18.4
million,
that's
broken
into
the
tran,
the
trucks
and
the
containers,
so
the
cabin
chassis,
those
are
on
order
on
the
trucks
we
had
to
re-bid
the
bodies.
Those
bids
are
due
back
june
19th,
so
that
will
be
coming
back
to
council
in
july
or
august
for
approval
of
the
bodies
and
we'll
be
moving
forward
with
the
trucks.
AF
AF
AF
Excuse
me,
the
community
safeguard
program.
We
have
cure
violence
the
summer
youth
and
youth
development
programs,
as
well
as
the
camera
program
for
cure
violence.
Council
has
approved
that
agreement.
We've
expended
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
first
portion
phase
of
that
agreement,
and
so
that's
continuing
forward
the
cameras,
2.6
million,
that's
phase
1
of
the
cameras
we've
expended
1.2
million
to
date,
and
so
that
project
is
moving
forward
broadband
cyber
security
at
3
million
884
000
for
the
upgrades
to
the
csc
in
the
civic
center.
AF
The
bid
for
the
additional
fiber
to
be
installed
at
our
additional
facilities
was
approved
in
march
of
22,
so
they're
working
through
that
plan
on
how
all
the
rest
of
that
fiber
connection
will
be
done.
Revenue
recovery
at
3.5
million
that
was
hotel,
motel
tax
recovery,
as
well
as
general
fund
revenue
recovery,
that's
been
appropriated.
AF
The
small
business,
non-profit
and
economic
tourism
grants
you
heard
a
report
on
how
we're
doing
on
that.
We
have
almost
exhausted
the
three
million
dollars
for
small
business
about
halfway
through
the
non-profits
and
we've
only
expended
50
000
on
the
economic
tourism
grants
that
application
was
open
in
january
of
this
year
and
we
are
going
to
be
closing
that
portal
for
application
submissions
only
because
we
believe
that
the
applications
that
we
have
received
we'll
be
able
to
expend
the
funds
that
have
been
allocated.
AF
We
have
not
received
the
contract
with
the
state
yet,
nor
have
we
submitted
the
guidelines
to
the
state
for
their
approval.
So
once
that
is
done,
we
will
reopen
the
portal
with
any
revisions
to
those
guidelines
for
the
state
program,
so
that's
kind
of
where
we're
at
with
that
in
the
administration.
You
know
we
have
a
financial
analyst.

Thank

we

back
at
the
next

for
the
valley,
partnership,
joint
development,
the

gary

the
late

mr
mike
welch,
and
we
will
bring
this
back

I

Mr
mayor.
B
U
U
I
don't
know
who,
on
the
city
staff
is
our
liaison
with
the
valley
partnership,
but
this
and
I
I
also
understand
that
part
of
the
this
timeline
was
when
kovid
was
going
on
and
we
were
out
of
commission,
but
I
am
very
concerned
that
we
do
not
have.
We
do
not
seem
to
have
a
closer
watch
on
the
valley
partnership.
U
There
are,
you
know
six
counties
involved
in
that
and
we
ought
to
have.
We
are,
of
course,
the
largest.
We
are
the
ones
that
pull
the
folks,
I'm
just
really,
as
you
can
tell
upset
about
the
fact
that
we
have
not
done
anything
with
this
position
and
this
partnership
since
2019.
W
U
U
Keep
us
better
informed.
I
went
online
to
read
their
minutes
they're,
not
there,
the
the
year's
there,
but
the
minutes
aren't
there.
So
you
know
anyway.
This
is
this
is
an
issue
that
we
have
got
to
face.
The
economic
development
issue
is
one
that
is
paramount.
I
think,
to
our
well-being
and
with
that
I'll
quit
my
rant.
Thank.
B
You
all
right:
we
have
a
request
to
go
into
executive
session,
to
discuss
personnel,
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
personnel
and
security.
All
right.
There's
a
motion.
Second
to
go
in
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right.
We
are
in
executive
session.
B
All
right,
we
are
we're
back
in
regular
session.
We
were
in
executive
session
where
we
discussed
personnel
issues
and
what
else?
What
security
issues
and
no
no
votes
were
taken,
we'll
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
second
okay,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye.
We
are
adjourned.
