Columbus Ga City Council Meeting 11 08 2022
A
Come
to
the
November
8th
council
meeting,
we
appreciate
y'all
joining
us.
I
got
a
full
agenda
today,
so
we'll
get
right
to
it.
We're
going
to
begin
this
meeting
as
we
begin
all
of
our
meetings
and
that's
by
invoking
God's
presence,
so
I'm
invited
to
the
podium
Pastor
Seth,
Hahn,
From,
Grace,
Baptist
Church
here
in
Columbus,
Georgia
Pastor
Hahn.
First
of
all,
thank
you,
sir,
for
what
you
and
your
church
do
in
recognizing
acknowledging
specifically
our
Public
Safety,
but
certainly
all
of
our
government
workers.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
Lord
and
I
pray
that
you
would
just
give
wisdom
to
those
leaders
as
they
come
into
office
that
you
would
direct
their
steps
and
give
them
wisdom.
You
said
If,
any
man
lack
wisdom,
what
a
mask
of
God
who
giveth
all
men
liberally
and
abradeth
not,
and
it
shall
be
given
him
and
I
pray
that
you'd
grant
them
wisdom
and
then,
of
course,
I
pray
for
the
events
of
this
morning.
B
Lord
at
the
council
meeting
this
morning,
I
thank
you
for
the
men
and
women
who
are
serving
in
our
city
and
Lord
their
willingness
to
set
aside
some
of
their
own
time
and
part
of
their
own
life
to
serve
in
our
community
and
I'm
thankful
for
them
and
again
I
pray
that
you
would
direct
them,
give
them
wisdom
today,
a
wisdom
that
comes
from
you.
You
said
both
not
thyself
of
tomorrow
for
thou.
No,
it's
not
what
a
day
may
bring
forth.
We
don't
always
know
what
tomorrow
holds.
B
We
can
only
make
decisions
on
the
here
and
now
and
I
pray
that
you
would
give
them
wisdom
as
they
make
those
decisions
and
lead
and
guide
our
city
Lord
just
be
with
them.
Lord
I
love,
you
and
I.
Thank
you
for
this
wonderful
country
of
ours
and
I.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
it.
Blessed
today
and
Grant
wisdom.
We
ask
these
things
in
Jesus,
name,
amen,
amen,.
A
All

All

The
first
one

Tucker
is
going

and
it
is
for
Timothy
Holloway
day.
C
Good
morning,
Mr
Timothy
Warner,
okay,
whereas
on
a
daily
basis,
the
employees
in
the
Columbus
Consolidated
government's
public
works
department,
use
their
skills,
knowledge
and
talent
in
creative
and
innovative
ways
to
fulfill
the
needs
of
this
city
and
its
citizens.
And
whereas
the
American
public
works,
Association,
Road
EO
was
established
to
recognize
outstanding
Public
Works
employees
who
operate
various
types,
sizes
of
trucks
and
or
heavy
equipment
with
expertise
and
whereas
to
sponsor,
said,
expert
employee
to
apwa
state
level.
C
Rodeo,
the
Columbus
Consolidated
Consolidated
public
works
department
held
a
feature
event
as
part
of
Georgia
cities
week
in
April
2022.
During
this
event,
employees
competed
diligently
showcasing
specialized,
Knowledge
and
Skills
to
place
at
state
level
in
advance
to
Nationals
and
whereas
in
the
local
competition,
Timothy
Holloway
a
crew
leader
in
the
rainwater
division
of
the
public
works
department,
was
awarded
first
place
in
the
many
excavator
event
in
second
place.
C
C
A
D
E
Good
morning,
Mr
Mayor
Mary,
proud
of
Mr
Holloway,
mainly
because
it
is
what
he
does
every
day,
but
one
of
the
events
he
doesn't
do
at
all
and
he
placed
and
that's
the
roll-off
container
event.
So
it
was
very
impressive
that
he
went
to
the
National
and
yeah
I
expected
him
to
do
it
again
next
year.
So
every
year
we
get
better
and
better.
We
will
bring
bring
that
title
back
right.
All.
A
F
F
You
know
you,
you
get
your
hands
dirty
you're
around
dirty
and
you
do
it
with
pride
and
you
just
to
hear
your
comments,
the
expression
that
to
make
life
better
for
the
citizens
of
Columbus,
for
what
you
do,
I
just
wanted
to
personally
say
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
actually
drail
short
and
her
leadership
and
and
drill
The
View
would
come
back
for
a
second
and
and
this
has
kind
of
letting
the
cat
out
of
the
bag.
But
I.
F
G
F
E
This
you
made
her,
you
made
the
department
great,
that's
right,
he
makes
it
happen.
Apwa
has
a
national
accreditation
for
any
state
in
the
United
States
Georgia
is
an
accredited
state,
but
there's
only
four
cities
in
the
state
of
Georgia
that
are
accredited
and
Columbus
is
one
of
four.
So
you'll
see
our
little
logo
one
of
four.
E
We
were
146
nationally
that
were
accredited
by
the
apwa
and
every
four
years
you
have
to
go
back
for
reaccreditation
and
what
that
basically
means
is
that
we
have
to
look
at
all
of
our
practices,
all
of
our
policies
they
come
in
and
inspect.
They
make
sure
that
our
policies
line
up
with
not
only
the
city's
Mission,
but
what
the
best
practices
for
any
public
works
department
is
in
the
United
States
of
America.
So
we're
very
proud
that
we
made
that
accreditation
this
year.
We
are
one
of
four.
E
You
will
see
that
logo
more
and
more
throughout
our
our
attire
that
you
see,
but
we're
just
very
proud,
and
it
is
because
of
people,
people
like
Timothy
who
go
to
the
National
and
they
make
these
things.
They
make
things
happen
and
they
come
back
with
recommendations
and
suggestions,
because
they're
networking,
with
other
Public
Works
departments,
to
find
out
what
is
the
best
practice.
So
we're
very
proud
of.
F
Correct
that
you
do
whether
it's
filling
a
pothole
or
driving
a
garbage
truck
or
in
the
ditch
doing
the
Dirty
Work
you
get
it
done,
and
you
Timothy
make
life
better
for
the
citizens
of
Columbus
and
I.
Commend
you
and
thank
you,
congratulate
you
for
what
you
do
mayor
I
just
have
to
say
that
to
Tim
at
the
end,.
A
A
Thank
you
Timothy
and
he
is
and
Timothy's
indicative.
We
see
a
number
of
our
employees
out
here
today
and
he's
indicative
of
the
quality
and
the
caliber
of
individual.
That
goes
to
work
every
day
to
do
exactly
what
he
articulated
and
that's
to
make
life
a
little
better
for
the
folks
that
live
in
this
community
so
on
on
behalf
of
the
entire
Council
and
all
of
those
citizens
Timothy.
Thank
you
for
the
way
you
do
your
job
all
right.

Good
morning,
Mr

good
morning,
council
members,
my
name
is
Gregory
green
I'm,
the
former
Macedonian
Republic
of
North
Maradona,
the
Republic
of
North
Macedonia,
diabetes
coordinator.
Diabetes
is
not
only
an
American
problem,
but
it's
a
worldwide
problem
and
we're
hoping
to
lead
the
way
in
eradicating
this
Dreadful
disease.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir
good.
M
O
M
P
We
want
everybody
to
come
out,
even
though
I
am
a
part
of
this
committee.
I
have
just
previously
been
diagnosed
with
pre-diabetes,
so
I
will
be
there
as
a
chairperson,
but
also
to
get
as
much
information
as
I
can,
because
I
don't
want
to
have
to
start
taking
medication,
but
we
invite
everybody
out,
because
there
would
be
a
lot
of
information
and
we
need
to
hear
what
it
is.
Thank
you.
A
Q
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
just
wanted
to
make
mention
I
found
out
the
importance
of
it
just
getting
regular
checkups.
My
doctor.
The
way
my
doctor
puts
it
to
me
is
diabetes,
doesn't
have
a
look.
It
could
be
anywhere,
so
I
was
told
to
drop
some
weight
exercise
so
that
I
would
not
head
that
direction.
Because
the
story
between
my
doctor
and
myself
was
you
look
better
on
the
outside
than
you
are
developing
on
the
inside.
So
you
need
to
watch
what
you
eat.
I
R
N
N
A
Okay,
we've
got
a
couple
of
presentations
on
the
mayor's
agenda
and
one
is
a
water
and
sewer
rate
study
presented
not
by
President
Davis
I,
understand
he's
suffering
from
some
of
this
crud.
That's
going
around
the
city
here
lately,
but
I'm
going
to
call
our
folks
from
the
Water
Works
to
the
podium
and
turn
it
over
to
them
and
let
them
kind
of
walk
us
through
the
and
we
do
this
every
year.
It's
it's
part
of
their
agreement
and
commitment
to
keeping
the
community
informed
and
so
Billy
we'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
R
Well,
thank
you
Mr
Mayor
and
city
council.
Steve
Davis
notified
me
this
morning
that
he
wasn't
making
it
so
I'm
sort
of
stepping
in
his
place
and
we'll
see
how
well
I
do,
but
he
wanted
to
apologize
for
not
being
here.
He
is
stuck
in
bed
this
morning.
He's
actually
been
getting.
He
was
here
yesterday,
but
he's
been
getting
worse
as
it's
been
going
along.
R
R
R
R
Thank
you
and
we
serve
250
000
plus
people
in
the
Columbus
area.
We
provide
essential
drinking
water
and
wastewater
treatment
services.
We
protect
the
environment
for
our
water
supply
and
water
and
quality
of
life.
We
live
work
and
play
here
too.
My
name
is
Billy
Cobb
I'm,
Executive,
Vice,
President
of
Water,
Works
and
I,
was
born
and
raised
in
Columbus
when
I
graduated
from
Jordan
High
School.
R
R
This
is
a
few
awards
that
we've
won.
This
is
not
all
of
them.
Actually.
Over
the
past
year,
we've
won
approximately
30
different
Awards
and
I.
Don't
know
if
y'all
know
this
or
not,
but
in
our
industry.
If
you
go
talk
to
people
in
our
industry
around
the
country,
you'll
find
out
that
Columbus
Water
Works
is
highly
respected
and
thought
of.
As
one
of
the
better
Utilities
in
the
country.
R
I
hope
this
plays
yes,
it
did
it's
supposed
to
been
a
video
about
a
minute,
long,
video,
where
we
have
customers
talking
about
exp
imagining
a
day
without
water
and
the
video
ends
up
being
talking
about
how
investing
in
our
infrastructure
keeps
us
from
having
a
day
without
water
and
one
of
the
things
I
talk
about
a
little
bit
is,
or
we
experienced
this
past
year.
As
everybody
knows
what
happened
in
Jackson
Mississippi
and
what
happened
in
Jackson
Mississippi.
R
Is
they
experienced
more
than
a
day
without
water,
and
it
really
boiled
down
to
a
couple
of
things.
You
know
we.
Actually
they
asked
for
people
to
volunteer
to
go
over
there
to
help
them
out,
try
to
get
out
of
that,
and
we
we're
looking
at
doing
that
and
it
ended
up
not
happening.
But
the
conversations
we've
had
with
folks
is
that
two
things
really
cause
the
problem.
R
R
So
what
I
do
is
I
like
to
think
of
this
as
a
car
to
simplify
things
when
you
buy
a
new
car,
you
want
to
last
as
long
as
you
can
last,
so
you
do
preventive
maintenance
on
it.
So
you
change
the
oil.
You
rotate
the
tires.
You
change
the
filters
we
at
the
Water
Works
go
out
and
we
Lube
our
equipment.
We
clean
our
basins,
we
clean
our
sewer
lines.
We
paint
our
infrastructure.
We
try
to
keep
it
operational
from
that
standpoint.
R
The
next
thing
you
do
with
a
car
is,
you
have
breakdown
maintenance.
What
happens
is
if
the
battery
goes
bad.
If
you
go
buy
another
battery,
you
don't
buy
a
new
car.
If
the
fuel
pump
goes
out,
you
get
that
fix.
Well,
if
the
Water
Works
do
the
same
thing,
we
replace
pumps,
we
replace
blowers,
we
fix
water
leaks
when
they
happen
and
then
the
last
thing
with
a
car
is
you
know
it's
time
to
replace
it.
R
What
it
really
boils
down
is
when
our
infrastructure
gets
to
the
point
that
it
can
no
longer
serve
its
purpose
structurally,
then
we
have
to
replace
that
infrastructure,
and
we
have
a
big
program
that
we
analyze
information
every
five
years.
We
do
a
master
plan
where
we
go
in
and
look
at
all
of
our
infrastructure.
We
look
at
the
condition
of
it,
but
we
also
look
at
the
capacity
of
it.
We
look
at
population
projection
growth
and
then
we
look
at
changing
regulations,
and
so
every
year
we
do
every
five
years.
R
R
But
so
we
got
great
people
that
work
24
7
365
days
a
year,
just
like
the
city
does
infrastructure,
maintenance
and
improvements.
We
have
to
stay
on
top
of
that.
It's
an
aging
infrastructure
and
we
have
about
3.5
billion
dollars
worth
of
infrastructure,
either
under
the
ground
or
at
our
plans,
which
is
a
lot
of
cost
infrastructure.
T
Then
debt
coverage
and
financial
policy
is
at
15,
just
as
a
regular
person
has
to
maintain
their
credit
score.
We,
the
water
works,
also
have
to
maintain
our
debt
to
income
ratio.
So
that's
where
that
goes
as
everybody's
seen,
we're
experiencing
Rising
operating
costs.
Historically,
Columbus
Water
Works
has
been
at
2.3
percent
operations
and
maintenance
increase
over
the
past
years
year
over
year,
but
this
past
year
has
been
different.
We've
experienced
more
as
you
can
see,
on
chart
on
the
right.
T
These
are
some
of
our
biggest
drivers
that
we
deal
with
and
then
down
on
the
left,
the
nine
percent
Consumer
Price
Index.
That's
what
we're
going
to
see
as
individuals
as
consumers
and
that's
what's
hitting
our
pocketbook,
but
for
the
Water
Works
we're
seeing
a
12.2
Municipal
cost
index
and
that's
going
to
factor
in
more
items
like
chemicals,
payrolls,
construction,
that
type
of
stuff,
as
Billy
said,
we
have
a
lot
of
infrastructure.
We
have
to
maintain.
T
But
one
thing
we
always
want
to
make
sure,
as
we
drive
cost
efficiency
day
to
day
everything
we
do.
We
obtain
competitive
pricing.
We
utilize
qualified
Consultants
when
they
can,
when
the
jobs,
difficult
and
maybe
out,
of
our
realm
of
expertise,
as
also
as
Billy
said,
we
do
a
five-year,
proactive,
CIP
and
master
plan
to
make
sure
that
we're
covering
all
the
infrastructure
needs
that
we
see
in
the
future
and
that
the
money's
going
to
the
right
places
and
the
right
priorities.
T
T
We
offer
two
different
programs
at
the
Waterworks,
the
first
ones,
I
Federal,
low
income,
housing,
water
assistance
program
commonly
known
as
live
album,
so
that
offers
up
to
500
worth
of
benefits
to
qualifying
family,
and
we
currently
have
1728
customers
that
have
received
it
with
over
552
thousand
dollars
benefits
to
the
city.
Additionally,
we
have
a
low
income
lost
that
have
a
low
income
credit,
eight
dollars
and
fifty
cents
a
month
that
we
can
apply
to
a
customer's
bill.
O
Good
morning,
Mr
Mayor
members
Council.
Thank
you
for
having
me
here.
As
Carl
mentioned,
my
name
is
Joe
Korea
I'm
with
a
firm
called
raftelus.
We
are
a
national,
consulting
firm
working
with
Municipal
governments
across
the
country.
Each
year
we
work
with
over
600
local
cities,
counties
towns
providing
Solutions
on
topics.
Just
like
this.
O
As
Billy
mentioned,
you
know,
Columbus
Water
Works
is
thought
of
very
highly
in
the
industry,
and
I
can
Echo
that
you
know.
With
the
perspective
we
bring
from
a
national
Viewpoint,
Columbus
Water
Works,
especially
from
a
financial
management
perspective,
is,
is
definitely
a
top-tier
kind
of
Best
in
Class
utility.
O
So
look
forward
to
kind
of
sharing
a
little
bit
about
our
work
with
you
here
today.
One
of
the
kind
of
values
of
our
firm
is
that
we
do
bring
that
perspective
of
what
the
national
Trends
look
like
and
working
with
over
600
utilities.
Every
year
we
see
a
lot
of
you
know
different
situations
and
when
we
think
about
comparing
costs
to
our
customers
across
the
industry
across
all
of
our
customers
at
ref
tell
us
that
sort
of
Benchmark
typical
monthly
cost
to
a
customer
67.44.
O
O
700
gallons
of
water
in
a
month
builds
a
little
bit
lower
66
dollars
a
month
or
excuse
me:
that's
all
the
southeast,
just
Georgia,
it's
it's
a
little
more
affordable
across
the
state
62.49
and
then,
when
we
compare
that
to
what
Columbus
Water
Works
is
our
current
rates
46.67
per
month,
so
Columbus
customers
are
paying
on
average
15
to
20
dollars
less
per
month
than
customers.
You
know
across
the
country
and
across
the
region.
You
know
when
we
look
back
at
data.
We
have
over
the
last
10
to
20
years.
O
Water
and
Sewer
rates
have
been
increasing.
You
know
more
than
twice
the
rate
of
inflation
over
that
period
over
you
know
five
percent
per
year
over
the
same
period-
Columbus
Water
Works.
You
know,
through
the
efficiencies
that
Carl
mentioned,
and
the
ProActive
Management
that
Billy
described
been
able
to
kind
of
keep
our
historic
rate
increases
well
below
that
Mark
at
around
3.9
percent
per
year.
O
When
you
put
it
all
together
that
46
a
month
bill
that
equates
to
you
know
having
water
delivered
to
your
house,
that
you
can
drink
and
flush
down
a
toilet
for
just
about
a
penny
per
gallon.
If
you
compare
that
to
what
you
got
to
pay
out
at
the
convenience
store,
quite
a
value
that
Columbus
Water
Works
is
providing
to
all
their
customers.
O
Those
typical
Bill
calculations
are
presented
on
the
screen
that
you
can
see
here.
So
what
this
is.
This
is
a
combined
bill
for
water
sewer
and
the
combined
sewer
overflow
charges.
So,
if
you're
a
customer
that
uses
500
cubic
feet
per
month,
your
current
bill
is
the
46
67
we
mentioned
earlier
with
the
proposed
increase
that
would
increase
to
48.98
the
2.31
increase
and
based
on
historical
records.
Half
of
our
residential
customers
have
a
bill
that
is
at
that
5
CCF
amount
or
less.
If
you're
lower,
your
increase
would
be
less
than
that
as
well.
O
Taking
a
little
bit
more
of
a
closer
look
to
comparing
our
our
costs
to
those
of
some
of
our
our
local
neighbors
and
peers,
we
can
see
that
Columbus
remains
very
competitive
locally
with
neighboring
communities.
The
4453
that
you
see
there.
That's
a
5ccf
bill.
The
reason
that
number
is
different
from
the
previous
slide
is
it
excludes
the
CSO
charge.
Many
communities
fund
that
differently
some
fund
it
through
general
fund
tax
revenue,
and
so
we
exclude
it
from
this
comparison
to
make
sure
it's
in
Apples
to
Apples
comparison.
O
So
that's
why
that
value
is
different.
If
you're,
a
customer
that
participates
in
the
low
income
credit
program
that
Carl
mentioned,
your
monthly
bill
is
just
around
36
dollars
per
month,
lower
than
most
of
the
communities
there
there
on
the
on
the
screen,
and
one
thing
to
note
that
these
these
charges
that
you're,
seeing
in
addition,
excluding
CSO
that
reflects
what
the
rates
will
be
in
2023.
So
this
includes
the
proposed
rate
increase
our
peer
communities.
O
The
specific
charges
are
presented
on
the
screen
here.
We
won't
go
through
Reading
each
of
those
out
to
you,
but
just
a
couple
to
highlight
the
fixed
charge
for
most
residential
customers
is
that
5
8
and
3
4
inch
charge
of
8.94
cents
per
month.
You
see
that
that's
going
up
not
to
939
per
month,
and
you
can
see
how
the
the
volumetric
rates
are
increasing
by
about
nine
cents
for
the
non-industrial
rate.
That
is
the
rate
that
most
of
our
all
of
our
residential
customers
pay
very
few.
O
O
Most
of
our
customers
are
going
to
see
about
a
two
dollars
and
30
Cent
per
month
increase
up
to
80
percent
of
our
customers
that
that
increase
would
be
less
than
three
dollars
and
fourteen
cents
Carl
mentioned
the
customer
assistance
options
that
are
available.
So
if
you
are
a
household
that
that
may
need
help
paying
these
bills,
there
are
programs
available
payment
plans
as
well.
So
please
reach
out
and
more
information
can
be
found
at
the
website.
R
S
R
R
R
T
R
O
Not
a
it's,
not
a
substantial
increase,
you
know
from
an
industry
kind
of
perspective
wholesale,
so
they
get
wholesale
service,
they
have
their
own
Collections
and
Distribution
Systems.
They
do
their
own
billing
for
their
their
customers.
When
we
think
about
from
a
rate
perspective,
Columbus,
Water
Works,
you
know
charges
them
for
the
treatment
of
the
water,
for
you
know
sending
it
conveying
it
to
their
systems.
They
then
have
additional
responsibilities
that
that
they
have
to
kind
of
do
so.
O
From
a
rate
perspective,
we
typically
see
that
wholesale
rates
are
actually
lower
than
their
retail
counterparts,
because
those
customers
are
not
benefiting
from
the
customer
service
from
you
know
all
of
the
internal
Services,
the
distribution
system,
and
so
we
typically
actually
see
it
the
opposite
relationship
there.
Unless
you're
providing
direct,
Service
Direct
retail
service
to
end
users
in
outside
of
Muskogee
County,
then
that's
that's
kind
of
the
situation
you've
described
in
its
current
form.
You
know
they're
paying
a
wholesale
rate.
O
It's
it's
slightly
above
kind
of
the
residential
rate,
but
it's
it's
near
that
average
rate,
so
it
is
aligned
with
kind
of
industry
standard
practice.
We
can.
We
can
explore
it
again
and
see
if
there's
opportunities
there
to
to
minimize
any
impact
to
to
local
residents
from
a
scale
perspective
the
amount
of
water
we
sell
to
those
customers,
it's
less
than
probably
five
percent
of
the
total
water
used
by
our
customers.
O
Yeah,
the
single
single
general
fund,
this
all
into
a
general
fund-
yes,
sir,
except
for
Fort
Benning
Fort
Benning.
There
is
separate
sort
of
accounting
there
to
make
sure
that
they
are
fully
covering
their
costs
and
then,
as
Billy
mentioned,
they
do
pay
a
return
on
investment.
In
return
on
the
service
to
the
Columbus
Water
Works.
C
Yes,
last
year,
when
we
got
an
update
myself
and
councilor
Woodson
mentioned
something
in
reference
to
the
infrastructure.
You
say:
you're,
investing
in
infrastructure,
but
there's
new
technologies
out
there,
like
new
meters
that
were
actually
determine
where
the
leak
is.
Are
you
implementing
these
type
of
new
meters
and
new
developments,
and
is
there
some
type
of
way
for
you
to
actually
kind
of
work
on
a
plan
to
go
back
towards
some
of
the
older
structures
that
have
issues
with
leaks
and
not
being
able
to
detect
them?
C
R
I
actually
have
new
meters
that
have
been
installed
over
the
last,
probably
about
eight
or
nine
years.
I
would
say,
and
we
can
actually
go
out
and
look
at
a
meter,
pull
information
off
that
meter
and
tell
when
a
leak
started.
For
instance,
you
can
actually
tell
if
someone
goes
and
flushes
the
commode,
and
then
it
keeps
running
it'll.
Let
you
know
that
and
we
have
those
in
all
of
our
residences.
C
R
C
I
I
would
definitely
need
to
contact
you
because
I've
asked
to
call
Council
of
Barnes
recently
with
some
senior
citizens
that
their
bill
and
I
their
bill
is.
Your
bill
should
not
be
600
700,
you
know
every
month
and
it
seemed
like
it
would
be
an
alert
that
would
go
off
from
Columbus
Water
Works
when
a
person
one
month
bill
is
six
hundred
dollars.
So
these
are
calls
that
you
know
I
know
I'm
getting
as
a
counselor
that
they
have
a
league
somewhere
and
they
don't
know.
C
C
Q
R
Q
T
Q
T
So
that
should
not
be
the
come
practice
if
you
got
if
there
has
been
some
adjusting
for
efficiencies
for
meter
readers
to
to
accomplish
the
route
quicker,
more
cost
effective
and
if
you
got
moved
during
that
cycle,
that
could
cause
a
change
in
your
date,
but
that
should
be
the
exception
and
not
the
norm.
Okay,.
Q
H
You,
sir
Council
Barnes,
just
a
comment
and
a
question
I
want
to
thank
you,
I'm,
the
one
that
mentioned
Mr
Davis
about
you've,
given
a
presentation
to
the
community
more
often,
and
if
you
can
and
I
appreciate
you
doing
it,
but
if
you
would
alert
the
public
to
this,
it
would
really
be
very
cathartic.
There
are
a
number
of
issues.
Councilor
Tucker
brought
up
one
how's
it
possible,
and
this
is
just
a
follow-up
for
more
clarity
on
on
on
my
part.
H
You
mentioned
that
you
have
meters
that
catch,
something
like
that
as
counselor
Tucker
for
a
shotgun
house,
but
wouldn't
that
alert
or
trigger
something.
This
is
not
to
be
I'm,
not
pointing
the
finger
I'm
just
trying
to
get
some
clarity
on
my
part
and
to
try
to
bring
it
out
to
our
viewers.
Yes,
sir,
so
don't
you
excuse
me?
H
Don't
you
have
something
that
that
would
alert
you
that
early
on
before
a
person
gets
a
second
or
third
bill
that
something
like
that
is
happening,
and
you
mentioned
upgrades
I
was
really
glad
to
hear
that
and
really
glad
to
hear,
sir,
that
you
mentioned
that.
That
is
something
that
you
are
doing
because
I
know,
Council
Tucker
has
had
a
number
of
calls.
H
T
H
Point
and
I
know
that
is
a
fact,
because
it's
a
very
nice
young
lady,
the
name
is
Natalie
I,
don't
know
whether
you
know
who
that
is,
but
she's
very
conscientious
when
you
call
to
checking
on
it.
So
let
me
get
back
to
what
you
were
saying
so,
when
you
notice
something
like
that,
because
I'm
talking
from
the
standpoint
of
senior
citizens,
don't
have
all
the
TVs
and
all
this
other
kind
of
computer
stuff.
H
T
T
A
V
Gary
I
just
want
to
note
I
mean
as
part
of
the
customer
service
process.
I
really
think
something
like
311
needs
to
be
done,
because
this
past
presentation,
the
last
year
the
presentation
before
that
I
told
Mr,
Davis
I,
even
texted
him.
That
I
was
having
issues
with
water.
At
my
property
with
leakage,
I
mean
we're,
talking,
pool
leaking
Koi
pond
leaking
everything
leaking
and
there
was
apparently
a
sewer
run
that
had
been
run
underneath
all
that
and
I
never
had
any
y'all
may
have
come
out.
V
I
will
say
this
because
my
bill
has
gone
down,
but
no
one
notified
me
if
they
came
out
so
I
just
would
recommend
that
just
to
let
the
citizens
know
hey,
we
have
mounted
the
property.
This
is
what
the
results
were.
Just
because
I
never
heard
anything,
but
my
bill
did
go
down
so
I'm
thankful
to
all
for
that,
but
I
just
want
to
make
you
aware.
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
follow-up
process
just.
V
R
Thing:
Mr
Mayor,
yes,
sir
I
forgot
to
mention
Steve
Davis,
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
invited
each
counselor
and
I.
Think
councilor
house
actually
took
us
up
on
this,
but
to
tour
our
facilities
so
that
you
can
see
the
magnitude
of
our
infrastructure,
so
you're
all
invited
just
contact
us
and
we'll
set
up
a
time
to
give
you
a
tour.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah
I've
I've
taken
that
a
number
of
times
and
and
you
you
tend
to
no
offense,
but
we
tend
to
take
you
for
granted,
because
we
tend
to
just
accept
that
we're
going
to
turn
the
water
knob
on
it's
it's
going
to
get
fresh
water.
It
is
incredibly
impressive
to
be
reminded
of
just
how
intricately
designed
our
system
is
and
what
a
great
job
it
does
in
providing
arguably
the
most
necessary
natural
resource
that
we
we
receive.
So
so.
Thank
you,
I
would
urge
Council
to
give
you
all
a
call.
Take
a
tour.
A
A
W
N
N
W
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
thank
you
guys
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
again.
It
feels
great
to
be
back
in
front
of
you.
It's
been
about
a
year
since
we
presented
this
particular
project
and
so
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
a
refresher
and
an
update.
So
we
have
been
working
hard
since
2018
as
a
commission
on
Unity
diversity
and
prosperity.
W
I
probably
should
have
introduced
myself
kind
of
slow
down,
I'm
Norman
Hartman
the
chair
for
the
mayor's
Commission
on
Unity
diversity
and
prosperity,
but
there
are
three
projects
that
we're
working
on
that
we've
kind
of
Consolidated
we
can
move
forward.
I
can
I
can
move
it
forward.
Okay,
thank
you.
W
The
main
things
are
the
pieces
that
we've
connected
with
the
Equal
justice
initiative
in
Montgomery
Alabama.
Some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
Brian
Stevenson,
and
so
they
have
tasked
All
Counties
across
the
country
with
reclaiming
their
history
around
lynching
and
racial
terrorism,
and
so
we
in
Muskogee
County
have
accepted
that.
Thank
you
generously,
mayor
and
then
also.
There
are
two
other
projects
that
we'll
kind
of
dive
into
during
our
discussion
today.
W
So
the
community
remembrance
project
there
are
over
4
000
lynchings
documented
lynchings
that
have
taken
place
across
across
the
country.
At
least
six
of
those
lynchings
have
been
in
Muskogee
County
again
those
are
documented
lynchings,
and
so
we
have
taken
up
that
charge
to
begin
telling
that
story
and
to
begin
talking
about
some
of
the
lynchings
that
have
taken
place
and
that
conversation
has
really
unfolded.
W
We
had
our
first
opportunity
to
present
that
to
the
public
in
2020
at
the
CSU
diversity
forum,
so
CSU
provided
an
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
segment
with
Billy
wind
I,
believe
a
lot
of
you
are
familiar
with
him
and
Dr
Virginia
Causey,
to
talk
about
some
of
the
documented
lynchings
in
Muskogee
County,
even
down
to
Dr
Brewer
lynching
as
well,
and
then
talk
about
how
do
we
move
forward
as
a
community
and
so
that
kind
of
kick-started.
These
this
conversation
series.
W
She
helped
was
very
instrumental
in
helping
us
do
the
research
of
what
it
would
take
to
add
these
historic
monuments
off
First
Avenue
between
Springer
and
the
Rankin
and
right
I.
Think
these
will
add
a
lot
of
Optics
into
that
space.
So
these
would
be
double-sided
monuments
about
10
feet,
tall,
six
thousand
pound
monuments.
If
you're
familiar
with
where
the
Mott's
house
used
to
be
and
The
Monuments
that
they
have
there.
W
These
will
look
very
similar
but
they're
highlighting
four
Local
Heroes,
who
may
not
be
well
known,
like
Sarah
Allen
Yarbrough,
who
was
one
of
the
first
black
female
nurses
in
Columbus.
Some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
shad
track
Marshall,
whom
Marshall
Middle
School
was
named
after
so
kind
of
reclaiming
history
around
the
same
time
that
some
of
these
Confederate
monuments
were
built
moving
forward
part
three
of
this
is
a
conversation
Series,
so
the
community
has
to
know
about
this.
You
know
it's
great
that
we're
talking
about
doing
these
monuments.
W
It's
great
that
we're
talking
about.
You
know
partnering
with
the
Equal
justice
initiative,
but
the
community
really
has
to
be
involved,
and
so,
since
2020
I
mentioned
the
kickoff
with
the
CSU
diversity
Forum.
Since
then,
we've
had
other
conversations
added
to
the
mix.
I
see
Sheriff
Countryman
back
there.
He
was
a
part
of
our
conversation
with
law
enforcement
connecting
law
enforcement
with
the
community.
W
Many
of
them
I've
already
mentioned
in
connection
with
eji.
We
were
tasked
with
holding
a
essay
contest,
and
so
this
essay
contest
allowed
high
school
students
here
to
earn
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
in
scholarships.
Just
by
writing
an
essay.
We
have
three
winners
that
we're
going
to
recognize
this
month
on
the
20th
at
the
trade
center.
W
So
we'll
we'll
get
those
the
information
out
to
you.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
development
with
this
particular
project.
What
we
have
left
you'll
see
there
at
the
bottom
right.
We
have
left
the
installation
of
the
monument
and
the
installation
of
a
historical
marker,
so
this
historical
marker
will
be
double-sided
two-sided,
one.
The
first
side
we'll
talk
in
general
about
lynchings
that
have
taken
place
across
the
country.
W
We
already
have
that
language
approved
and
the
back
side
will
actually
talk
about
the
lynching
double
lynching
of
Will,
Miles
and
Jesse
Slayton,
who,
hopefully,
you
are
familiar
with,
but
we'll
be
able
to
tell
their
story
and
have
that
marker
on
Broadway
and
close
to
the
site
where
they
were
lynched
and
then
The
Monuments.
That
I
talked
about
where
we
got
Ed
involved
in
trying
to
help
us
identify
a
location
between
the
Springer
and
the
Rankin,
and
so
we
are
at
the
implementation
phase
of
fundraising.
W
So
we've
come
today
to
ask
you
guys,
make
you
aware
of
that
and
ask
you
for
your
permission,
to
move
them
forward
with
raising
those
dollars
in
the
hopes
of
having
this
Monument
installed.
Any
support
that
you
have
you
if
you
know,
especially
if
you
have
interested
parties
in
your
District.
That
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
this
we'd
love
to
connect
with
them
and
talk
about
how
they
can
support.
And
this
is
our
update,
so
I'm.
Taking
any
questions
that
you
have.
Q
A
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Hartman
I
command.
You
for
the
work
that
you
have
done
with
this
I.
Think
I
can't
remember
when
it
was
that
we
met
at
Skippers
and
we
got
a
a
good
conversation
with
Mr
ronzel
Buckner
about
the
history.
I
do
want
to
ask
and
I
know.
You
have
talked
to
Mr
Johnny
Warner
about
the
marker
installation
and
also
were
we
looking
at
April
June
time
frame
for
this
installation.
X
W
We
know
that
the
double
lynchings
took
place,
I
believe
June,
1st
1896,
so
June
is
an
important
date
for
us
to
make,
but
with
with
the
budget
that
we
have
I
think
we
can
get
there
very
very
quickly,
but
I
can
make
sure
that
you
guys
have
that
today.
So
yes,
preferably
by
the
end
of
this
year,
if
we
can
raise
the
funds,
then
we'll
be
where
we
need
to
be
to
do
the
installation
yeah.
W
W
C
S
Davis
I
appreciate
it
sounds
like
you
put
a
lot
of
time
in
consideration,
effort
into
this
matter
and
pre.
It's
appreciated.
I
wanted
to
just
throw
out
an
idea.
You
probably
have
already
discussed
this,
but
you
know
we're
building
a
new
Justice
Center
and
there's
going
to
be
a
significant
amount
of
social
spaces
that
we
we've
looked
at
and
and
we've
come
to
know
I.
You
know
I'm
just
kind
of
throwing
that
idea
out
in
the
future.
S
I
know
it
sounds
like
you're
on
a
schedule
in
a
in
a
fast
track,
but
certainly
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
social
spaces
around
that
unique
facility,
which
you
know
I'm
just
saying
there
may
I
don't
know,
but
there
may
be
something
there
for
many.
Many
people
are
going
to
visit
that
that
facility,
so
we'll
just
kind
of
throw
that
out
as
an
idea.
That's.
W
C
C
Really
the
history
you
know
of
Columbus
and
and
going
through
each
marker
on
that
black
history,
Trail
and
I
noticed
that
I'm
not
a
tourist,
because
I
live
here,
but
we
have
so
many
people
that
come
to
Columbus
and
they
actually
go
through
those
trails
and
they
visit
our
museums
and
they
they
really
embrace
all
that
we
have
so
it's
important
that
we
do
this
marker
and
this
Monument,
because
you
know
we're
moving
towards
tourism
and
I.
Just
think
it's
important.
C
Y
W
They
can
contact,
probably
you
directly
mayor
Henderson
if
they
want
to
contribute
financially
right,
and
that
would
be
the
best
course
of
action
also.
If
they
need
to
ask
any
details
about
the
the
pot,
the
project
or
the
budget,
they
can
email
me
directly,
so
I
can
make
sure
councilman
house
has
my
my
email
address.
W
Y
A
A
A
lot
of
this
was
undertaken
during
that
summer
of
unrest
across
our
country
and
and
the
way
you
and
your
team
have
continued
to
stick
with
this
and
and
and
put
it
all
together
and
flesh
it
out
and
make
it
into
something
that
is
going
to
be
significant
for
the
entire
Community.
It's
just
just
great
job
and
we're
getting
close.
Z
Q
AA
Z
And
Mr
May
I'd
like
to
address
that.
If
I
may,
this,
this
probably
has
been
one
of
the
most
intensive
activities
that
I
have
participated
in
since
I
have
been
on
Council
and
working.
When
I
worked
in
the
mayor's
office.
I'm,
not
the
only
counselor
I
think
everyone
around
the
table
has
been
contacted
by
members
of
the
community
by
our
general
government
employees
by
our
Public
Safety
employees,
with
suggestions
and
questions
and
so
forth
about
the
pay
plan.
Z
One
thing
that
I
want
to
make
clear
to
everyone
who
is
listening
is
that
when
we
at
our
last
meeting
did
not
take
a
position
on
the
pay
plan,
it
did
not
kill
the
pay
plan.
It
was
an
indecisive
boat.
You
have
to
have
six
votes
in
order
to
do
anything,
but
the
word
somehow
got
out
that
we
had
killed
the
pay
plan
we
had
not
done.
We
have
not
done
that
and
I'm
bringing
it
back
to
us
today,
because
I
think
that
we
need
to.
Z
We
need
to
move
forward.
There's
still
a
lot
of
several
things
in
that
tape
plan
that
I'm
not
satisfied
with
and,
for
example,
the
longevity
increases
I
want
us
to
have
more
conversation
about
the
longevity
increases,
but
I
don't
want
to
hold
up
the
entire
plan.
For
that
conversation.
I
think
that
conversation
is
going
to
take
more
than
just
one
meeting
so
be
prepared
to
hear
from
me
about
longevity.
Z
I
also
think
that
we
need
to
talk
more
about
the
education
piece
of
this,
not
only
how
you
how
you
get
a
promotion,
if
you
have
a
degree
or
you
don't
get
a
promotion
if
you
have
a
degree
or
how
much
we
pay
for
that
education
degree.
All
of
those
kinds
of
things
I
think
Council
needs
to
have
some
real
serious
conversations
about.
Z
I
know
that,
there's
certain
things
that
we
have
to
take
into
consideration
like
the
pay
periods
and
when
they
fall
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
I
want
I,
want
the
pay
plan
in
place
just
as
quickly
as
we
can
get
it
in
place,
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
want
to
do
that
when
I
pulled
into
the
driveway
into
the
parking
garage.
Today
there
was
a
City
truck
sitting
next
to
where
we
parked
and
on
the
side
of
that
truck,
it
said:
quality
people
giving
quality
service.
Z
That's
what
the
employees
of
the
Columbus
city
government
do,
no
matter
where
they
are.
They
are
quality
people
and
they
are
given
quality
service.
So,
let's,
let's
get
this
this
done
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
if
it
means
over
time,
let's
do
overtime
if
it
means
you
know,
moving
something
around.
Let's
move
it
around:
let's
get
it
done
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
I
think
that,
as
we
have
been
discussing
this,
the
counselors
have
been
discussing
this
to
the
person.
Z
There
has
not
been
anyone
who
has
said
to
me:
I
am
opposed
to
the
pay
plan.
They
have
said
to
me.
I
support
the
pay
plan.
I
think
it
needs
to
be
tweaked,
which
is
a
entirely
different
story,
so
Mr
Mayor
I
hope
that
we
can
do
whatever
we
need
to
do
today
to
get
this
pay
plan
in
process
in
motion.
Let's
do
it,
let's
get
it
done
just
as
quickly
as
we
can
and
get
the
money
in
our
employees
pocket.
Z
One
of
the
other
things
I
want
us
to
take
a
look
at
is:
are
there
ways
that
we
can
give
employees
benefits
that
does
not
decrease
their
income,
for
example
the
health
insurance?
If
you're,
if
you
do
certain
things,
you
don't
pay
as
much
for
the
health
insurance,
but
any
that
money
stays
in
your
pocket.
Let's,
let's
investigate
those
kinds
of
things
too
Mr
city
manager
and
let's
see
what
we
can
do
to
make
our
employees
to
give
them
more
in
their
pocket.
Take
home
money.
Z
You
just
saw
the
Water
Works
these
folks
water
bill
has
gone
up
in
January.
Let's
see
what
we
can
do
to
help
them,
pay
that
water
bill
and
I
think
by
implementing
the
pay
plan,
we
can
do
that.
We
can
make
that
happen
and
I
know
I,
have
every
confidence
in
the
city
manager
and
the
Human
Resources
Director
to
do
that,
let's
get
it
done.
A
V
I'm
a
equity
partner
in
a
corporation
larger
than
the
city,
and
we
probably
have
less
resources
to
be
honest
in
our
HR
department.
We've
made
things
like
this
happen.
We
can
make
this
happen.
I'm
opposed
to
the
promotion
moratorium
and
that
will
not
need
to
be
I'm.
I
will
not
need
to
be
opposed
to
that.
V
If
we
amend
this
pay
plan
rather
than
January
January
7th
I
think
we
can
get
this
done
by
the
end
of
November
when
our
employees
paid
by
Christmas
and
I
want
y'all
to
know,
because
a
lot
of
false
information
was
put
out
to
you.
This
Council
had
every
intention
and
wants
everyone
to
be
paid
fairly
when
there
are
nearly
500
appeals
and
hundreds
of
employees
who
tell
me
they
got
no
raise
because
they
had
just
been
bumped
into
a
position.
V
That's
a
large
percentage
of
your
government
who
did
not
get
paid,
and
some
of
those
same
people
are
telling
me
go
ahead
and
move
it
forward,
move
it
forward,
but
encourage
them
to
fix
the
problems,
because
it's
not
fair
for
somebody.
I
will
I
will
point
blank
say
that
it's
not
fair
for
somebody
who
got
a
promotion
six
months
before
this
was
implemented
and
the
person
below
them
is
making
more
money
because
they
stay
in
the
same
great
position.
V
I
do
not
like
the
methodology
of
this,
but
I
do
believe
in
our
city
manager.
So
my
Amendment
to
the
resolution
would
be
that
it
does
not
begin
January
7th.
It
begins
as
soon
as
the
C
manager
can
get
us
a
date,
and
I
will
vote
for
additional
resources
if
you
need
overtime
or
if
you
need
additional
resources
to
get
implemented,
but
but
I
would
like
to
be
done
before
the
before
the
last
pay
period
in
November,
if
possible.
Is
that
something
you
think
is
remotely
possible
to
imagine
before
I
make
that
proposal.
V
F
No,
and
and
and
and
counselor,
and
to
each
of
you,
I
I,
want
it
done
as
soon
as
possible
as
much
as
you
do
and
I've
talked
to
staff
I've
been
in
the
back
room
talking
to
staff
about
whether
this
could
happen
or
not,
and
and
I've
even
asked
them
to
be
prepared,
talk
about
it.
If
it
comes
up,
I've
asked
them
to
be
prepared
to
talk
about.
F
V
F
Z
AB
Well,
good
morning,
Council
Mr,
Mayor,
Mr
manager,
I
was
watching
and
hearing
the
council
chambers.
Let
me
just
start
out
by
saying
that
the
January
7th
date-
it's
not
some
date
that
was
really
sort
of
pulled
out
of
the
sky.
It
was
very
carefully
considered
and
it
was
very
thoughtful
and
and
intentional
in
terms
of
that
being
the
date.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
activity
that
goes
on
around
this
time
of
the
of
the
Year
towards
the
end
of
November
into
December.
AB
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
finance
system
in
the
payroll
system,
and
so
we
have
to
with
our
very
limited
staff.
You
know
I
hear
I've
heard
you
all
say:
well
just
work
overtime
or
just
you
know,
get
more
people,
but
the
system
is
a
little
bit
more
complex
than
just
pulling
someone
off
the
street
to
help
with
the
implementation.
AB
It
is
you
know,
people
within
the
finance,
HR
and
I.T
Department.
We
are
already
burning
the
midnight
oil
I
mean.
This
is
something
in
addition
to
what
we
have
to
deal
with
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
and
we
understand
and
know
that
this
system,
that
we
have
this
payroll
system,
it
is
complex
and
it
does
take
a
lot
of
massaging
so
to
speak,
to
make
sure
that
we
can
pay
our
employees
accurately.
A
lot
of
the
employees
that
are
in
this
room
may
have
experienced
some
sort
of
challenge
even
this
year.
AB
You
know
we
have
the
towards
the
end
of
this
month.
Our
leave
year
ends.
It
ends
November,
25th
and
we'll
have
to
process.
You
know
the
lead
rollover,
as
well
as
the
regular
pay
checks
in
the
month
of
December,
and
so
you
know,
as
far
as
that
being
in
any
sort
of
magic,
I,
don't
can't
really
say
Council
Garrett,
that
I
can
pull
a
rabbit
out
of
the
hat.
So
to
speak.
On
this.
V
V
N
AB
No
I
mean
because
and
I
say
that
and
I'm
not
being
facetious
and
saying
it.
But
you
know
they
are
you
a
big
tech
company,
big
Tech,
conglomerate,
honestly
and
it,
and
in
order
for
them
to
put
together
I,
would
say
by
the
time
it
takes
for
us
to
put
together
a
statement
of
work
and
an
amendment
to
end
them
to
come
up
with
a
quote
for
us
to
be
able
to
assist.
We
would
be
in
January.
F
F
V
V
Some
of
those
outcomes
that
idea
here
from
more
favorable
or
ten
thousand
dollars,
plus
that's
the
kind
of
mistakes
that
were
made
in
some
of
the
portions
of
the
pay
plan
I
can
attest
to
that
from
employees
who
have
had
successful
Appeals
I
would
ask
that
the
sea
manager
that
you
would
review
any
appeal
from
Evergreen
within
60
days
of
an
employee
appealing,
because
I
think
you
have
the
best
decision
to
do
it.
You
can
do
it
in
the
budget
process.
V
V
Cpd
I
think
we've
already
got
workout
solution
where
the
list
is
going
to
be
frozen.
Firing
EMS
has
a
difference.
They
have
to
promote
within
30
days
of
the
ordinance,
and
some
people
can
end
up
making
less
if
we
don't
get
this
implemented
quickly.
So
what
I
would
request
is
that
fire,
an
EMS
be
given
the
their
Executives,
be
given
the
discretion
if
they
discuss
with
an
employee,
hey
you're,
going
to
make
less
money
unless
we
wait
until
January
to
be
given
the
discretion
outside
of
that
ordinance.
V
To
make
a
decision
on
whether
or
not
an
employee
would
rather
wait
because
they'll
make
more
money
and
be
promoted,
or
they
want
to
look
at
the
long-term
future
because,
as
you
know,
there,
there
are
timelines
like
10
15,
20
years,
where
people
get
paid
more
money
and
some
people
when
CPD
were
worried
about
that
which
that
should
be
alleviated
with
the
freezing,
the
the
promotion
structure,
but
the
quicker
we
can
get
that
done.
The
less
problems
we
face
on
the
promotion
side
as
well.
Yeah.
V
Okay
and
Mr
C
manager-
this
is
the
last
thing
after
excuse
me,
Mr,
C
attorney.
This
is
the
last
thing
I
have
to
say
on
this
act
on
this
councilor
Tucker
I
know
is
a
co-sponsor
and
there
are
other
counselors
who
probably
want
to
co-sponsor,
but
just
so
you
all
know
part
of
the
issue
is
we
have
to
get
the
information
before
Council?
V
We
hit
Refresh
on
Friday
afternoon,
multiple
times
throughout
the
afternoon,
trying
to
see
what
it
is
that
we're
voting
on?
Where
are
the
presentations?
I
am
asking
the
City
attorney
to
please
draft
a
transparency
in
Government
Act,
which
will
require
public
agenda.
Well,
not
public
agendas,
the
entire
agenda,
unless
they're
emergency
add-ons,
because
I
understand
there
are
some
presentations
there
last
minute
be
be
done.
The
Monday
the
week
before
Council
and
that
presentations,
which
are
already
complete,
are
attached
to
that.
I'd.

F
A
Q
Q
Okay,
you
maybe
see
thank
you
good
morning
to
you
all.
This
is
what
we
have
been
talking
about
for
a
while.
Now
we've
been
wanting
to
get
you
all
in
the
room,
we've
been
wanting
to
meet
with
you
and
discuss
my
first
point
this
morning
was
I
received
several
phone
calls,
as
did
all
of
us
about
us
voting.
The
plan
down
never
was
going
to
happen.
Q
We
will
never
spend
three
million
dollars
of
more
of
your
taxpayers
dollars
for
a
study
and
not
move
forward.
It
just
took
time
from
what
you've
heard
in
the
discussion
up
here
this
morning.
There's
been
conversation
about
compression
in
the
past
and
we're
trying
to
eliminate
compression
going
forward
right
now.
This
plan
has
a
little
compression
already
in
it,
so
we're
trying
to
work
through
some
things
so
that
when
the
new
plan
takes
place,
you
all
won't
be
back
here,
two
years
later,
Sam
what
happened?
Q
The
new
plan
has
compression
now
I've
been
here
20
years
and
someone
here
five
years
is
making
more
money
than
I.
Am
the
longevity
piece
we've
been
going
back
and
forth?
You
heard
a
couple
of
councils
speak
of.
If
you
had
a
promotion
in
the
last
few
years,
you
were
being
penalized
on
the
pay
plan
as
far
as
your
race,
so
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
something
possibly
that
may
work
if
you've
been
alone
a
long
time
employee.
Maybe
we
can
do
something
for
you
once
a
year
or
something
monetarily.
Q
Q
We've
been
accused
of
not
understanding
your
bills
and
everything,
but
if
you
go
back
and
listen
to
the
video
when
we
first
started,
I
requested
that
we
start
at
the
bottom
and
make
the
bottom
right
move
to
the
middle,
make
the
middle
right
and
then
to
the
top,
and
so
I
was
having
some
problems
with
the
fact
that
we
had
2200
plus
employees
ready
to
go.
But
if
you
had
been
in
that
two
or
three
hundred,
then
you
would
have
been
complaining
to
me
just
like
they
did.
So.
Q
We
were
trying
to
be
concerned
about
all,
because
if
your
raise
was
ten
thousand
and
the
person
making
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
dollars
was
getting
maybe
a
couple
of
thousand
dollars.
It's
a
need
versus
a
want,
and
we
want
all
of
you
all
to
have
your
raises,
but
the
need
basis.
We
have
people
in
this
government
that
walk
to
work.
We
have
people
that
walk
to
the
bus,
stop
if
they
miss
the
bus,
they're,
paying
neighbors
and
people
to
bring
them
to
work,
and
it's
been.
Q
It's
been
tough
and
I
know
of
a
couple
of
people
in
the
government,
especially
at
the
trade
center
that
have
been
walking
to
work
for
years
rain
or
shine.
They
take
a
change
of
clothes.
So
when
you
get
a
chance
to
meet
these
people,
you
start
to
understand
that
this
money
is
important.
Is
it's
very
important
to
them
and
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
they
can
pay
their
bills
and
have
the
same
lifestyle
that
you
all
enjoy?
Q
Z
I'm
thinking
of
somebody
like
Charles
Tate,
you
know
Charles
knows
the
system,
he
maybe
he
would
take
a
contract
and
and
help
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
know
if
that
would
work,
but
I
do
know
that
that
there
are
and
I'm
not
proposing
that
I'm
saying
consider
that
that
we
do
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
make
it
to
make
it
work.
I.
N
Z
Let's
see
if
this
works
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
Columbus
Council
directs
that
the
city
manager,
the
Human,
Resources
Director
and
other
City
staff
proceed
to
implement
the
pay
plan
to
be
effective
for
the
pay
period
beginning
no
later
than
January
7th
2023
and
provided
further
that
the
pay
plan
shall
be
effective
retroactively
to
the
pay
period.
Beginning
November,
12,
2022.,
I,.
M
AC
AB
Yes,
so
and
we're
regarding
the
Retro
issue,
and
it
is,
as
all
you've
stated
and
as
city
manager
mentioned,
we
will
continue
to
work
to
knowing
in
to
get
this
implemented
as
soon
as
we
possibly
can
as
accurately
as
we
possibly
can.
But
the
Retro
issue
is
a
real
issue
in
terms
of
the
system
and
particularly
as
it
relates
to
Public
Safety
doesn't
like
retro,
so
to
speak,
part
of
the
with
the
implementation
of
this
new
paid
plan.
AB
So
we
will
have
you
know
as
as
we're
working
through
this.
You
know
our
pay
period
ends
this
Friday
we'll
have
pay
periods
throughout
the
end
of
November
throughout
December
that
would
have
already
processed
and
once
we
and
it
would
have
processed
with
that
pay
reform
line
on
the
employee's
pay
record
on
the
employee's
paycheck.
F
If
I
made
just
a
thought,
I
mean
I,
don't
know.
So
if,
if
you
approve
the
resolution
that
says
retro,
is
it
possible
that
we
can
go
through
if
we
can't
get
it
done
prior
to
that
January
implementation
date?
That
has
been
that's
on
the
table
that
we
go
ahead
and-
and
we
do
it
in
January,
with
the
thought
that
we're
not
going
to
try
and
make
the
Retro
part
of
that
first
paycheck,
but
we
are
going
to
then
after
we
get
everybody
settled
and
it's
in
their
pay.
F
F
You
you're
getting
your
check
it's
in
your
check,
but
your
retro
is
not
there
and
then
we
have
time
whatever
time
it
takes
to
figure
out
what
we
owe
each
employee
in
retro,
retro
pay
and
at
some
certain
date
certain
we're
going
to
issue
that
check
that
we
owed
you
for
a
retro
that
did
not
get
in
your
check.
Just
a
thought.
That's.
AC
I
have
another
alternative:
how
difficult
is
it
for
us
to
absorb
their
like
waive
their
payment
towards
benefits
and
pension
for
a
certain
period
of
time,
because
when
we
give
them
when
we
give
them
retroactive
pay,
that's
like
giving
them
a
bonus
and
they
have
to
pay.
They
don't
get
a
hundred
percent
of
that
they
they
will
get.
You
know
that
minus
what
they
pay
into
their
health
and
what
they
pay
into
their
retirement.
AC
G
AC
AB
AB
AC
F
Well,
I
I,
you
know
I,
don't
know,
but
I
I.
Think
in
my
mind,
if
I
I
think
I
had
her
committed
that
that
the
less
you
know
with
a
short
staff
in
HR
and
finance
and
I.T,
and
not
stopping
all
of
the
things
that
she's
outlined
it
has
that
that's
got
to
take
place,
end
of
November
all
of
December
and
then
all
of
the
federal
IRS
and
everything
else
in
January.
F
But
I'm
saying
it's
kind
of
like
you
know
in
December,
they're
going
to
get
their
sick
leave
check
right
and
it
would
be
a
special
check
that
will
go
to
them
on
a
date
determined
that
will
be
the
Retro
I.
Think
I
think
the
employees
would
love
to
get
a
special
check
of
retro
in
March
or
April
or
whenever
that
date
is
that
we
can
determine.
N
Z
Z
AB
Z
Surely
February
28th
is
possible.
You
know
this
is.
This
is
part
of
my
frustration.
I
have
not
heard
from
you
guys
what
is
possible
and
what
we
can
do
and
how
we
can
get
money
into
our
employees
pockets
as
quickly
as
possible
and
as
much
as
possible.
I
hadn't
heard
that
yet
today
and
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
do
with
this
is
to
make
it
retroactive
so
that
that
they
get
their
money
and
they
get
it
as
quickly
as
they
can
get
it
for
most.
F
A
A
S
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'm,
I'm,
ready
to
get
this
plan.
It's
actually
a
structure,
a
new
pay
structure
implemented
as
quick
as
possible,
because
I
think
the
city
is
holding
a
lot
of
money
right
now
that
we
need
to
get
it's
your
money
and
we
need
to
get
it
in
your
pocket
somehow
someway
and
get
that
done.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we're
discussing
that's
important
for
employees
being
here
that,
under
the
current
plan,
we
have
never
been
able.
S
The
reason
we're
at
we're
at
is
because
we've
over
the
years
we've
had
struggles
with
Revenue
we've
dealt
with
things
like
pension
reform
and
Health
Care
reform,
and
things
like
that
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
there's
no
money.
So
all
we
do
is
able
to
give
a
cost
of
living
increase
that
you
have
gotten
over
time
and
couldn't
deal
with
compression
and
some
of
the
other
things.
S
The
maintenance
part
of
this
is
key.
Okay,
this
is
something
that
we've
never
been
able
to
do
that
everybody's
talked
about
for
years,
and
now
we're
doing
it.
This
Council
and
the
city
Administration
needs
to
commit
the
funds,
the
new
revenues
or
anything
before
it
goes
out
in
different
directions,
commit
to
that.
On
the
maintenance
side,
the
maintenance
side
is
where
your
longevity
and
other
areas
you
now
have
a
path
for
that
you're
going
to
get.
S
You
can
have
confidence
that
you'll
get
a
raise
every
year
and
continue
to
move
those
steps
up
everybody
and
it
does
not
negate
here's
another
thing
that
that
we
don't
talk
about.
It
does
not
negate
the
the
mayor,
it
doesn't
stripe
the
mayor's
hands
and
given
the
cost
of
living
increase
on
top
of
that,
which
is
a
bit
which
is
a
an
extra
benefit.
These
are
things
that
we've
never
been
able
to
do
before
that.
S
Now
the
employees
are
going
to
be
able
to
to
benefit
from
that,
knowing
that
the
next
year
you're
going
to
make
a
little
more
more
more
more
if
we
can
continue
to
maintain,
we
didn't
have
a
maintenance
part
in
in
the
old
structure.
So
that's
why
I'm
committed
to
to
getting
this
done
as
quick
as
possible.
The
things
we're
talking
about
are
more
policy
issues
and
we're
not
going
to
forget
that
the
council
is
not
going
to
forget
a
lot
of
these
things.
S
We've
learned
during
this
process,
but
we
can
do
that
through
policy
as
we
as
we
move
along,
but
it's
going
to
be
imperative
to
wait
during
these
budget
sessions
to
see
exact,
Revenue
that
we're
bringing
in
and
ear
market.
So
we
can
address
some
maintenance
of
the
plan.
The
maintenance
of
this
plan
is
so
imperative,
and
so
key
and
I'm
committed
to
that.
I'm
also
committed
to
doing
things
with
your
pension
plan,
with
your
health
care
plan.
S
Doing
those
those
are
things
we
can
focus
on
now
versus
things
out
on
The
Fringe
little
bonuses,
we've,
given
bonuses
and
cost
of
living
increases
most
of
the
time
at
the
end
of
the
day.
You
don't
even
know
what's
in
there,
because
they
take
the
taxes
and
everything
else
out
and
you
don't
know
it's
there,
but
now
you've
got
an
opportunity
to
to
actually
see
some
results
and
those
are
things
that
we
can
do
that
same
reality.
S
At
the
end
of
the
day,
if
we
focus
on
those
things,
you're
going
to
take
home
more
money
and
you're
going
to
keep
more
money,
if
you
don't
have
to
cover
those
cost
of
living
increases,
but
right
now
we
need
to
get
that
money
in
employees
hands
under
these
current
economic
conditions.
It's
rough
out
there
and
we
just
need
to
get
that
money
out
there
and
start
dealing
with
some
of
these
policy.
S
What
I
would
call
policy
issues
in
in
making
changes
that
would
go
and
a
lot
of
that's
going
to
be
done
during
the
during
the
budget
cycle
during
the
budget
process,
so
I'm,
just
thrilled
that
we
have
this
opportunity
and
and
I
hope
that
this
Council
and
future
councils
remains
committed
to
the
Senate
to
the
employees
to
maintain
this
plan
and
we
can
keep
it
moving
forward.
That's
going
to
be
key
and
imperative,
and
that's
that's
where
my
focus
is
on
all
this
and
I'm.
S
C
Yes,
can
we
pull
up
that
slide
from
the
last
council
meeting
where
it
showed
the
November
12th
day
in
the
January
date?
That
way,
we
can
get
an
understanding
of
why
you're
saying
we
can't
get
this
done
before
January
7
and
then
kind
of
walk
the
employees
and
us
through
the
the
process
and
the
reasoning
behind
October
25th
and
November
12th
day
Implement
implementation
versus
you
know
now
we're
here
on
November
8th
and
it's
going
to
be
possibly
January
7th,
because
if
you
walk
us
through
it
I
think
visually.
Seeing
that
it'll
help.
F
AB
F
AB
So
while
they
work
to
pull
that
up
the
the
reason
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
there
was
the
date
of
November,
the
12th
as
the
implementation
or
implementation
day
or
January
7th
had
very
much
to
do
with
the
start
of
the
pay
period,
as
well
as
the
flsa
cycles
for
our
Public
Safety
departments
and
so
from.
As
far
as
the
in
between
there's
a
lot
that's
going
on,
we
have
and
I'm
going
to
say
some
things
that
you
may
not
exactly
understand,
but
is
just
the
only
way
that
I
can
describe
it.
AB
AB
So
they,
the
vendor,
manages
the
system
for
us
so
to
speak,
and
we
in
part,
as
users
of
the
system,
have
to
accept
changes
or
upgrades
to
the
system
as
they're
rolled
out
by
the
vendor.
So
part
of,
what's
going
on
in
this
in
between
time
from
November
through
January,
is
US
upgrading
the
system.
Yet
again,
we
had
to
move
forward
with
one
upgrade
that
was
done
a
couple
weeks
ago,
so
that
we
could
prepare
ourselves
for
the
implementation
of
the
pay
plan
with
the
November
12th
day,
all
right.
AB
So
that
was
one
upgrade
that
we
have
to
do
we're
actually
an
upgrade
behind,
because
we
should
be
on
upgrade
number
two,
but
we're
on
upgrade
number
one
and
we've
delayed
moving
forward
with
upgrade
number
two
because
of
the
pay
plan.
But
we've
got
to
get
upgrade
number
two
done
and
in
place
before
January,
so
that
the
tax
changes
that
have
been
pushed
out
by
the
vendor
are
in
the
system
so
that
we
can
accurately
process
W-2s
and
1099s
so
part
of
that.
AB
What's
going
on
right
now
in
terms
of
the
the
next
upgrade
that
is
going
to
be
rolled
out
next
Monday
and
we've
sort
of
shifted,
the
timeline
to
be
quite
honest
with
you
know,
with
the
delay
in
the
implementation
that'll
be
rolled
out
into
our
non-production
environment
next
week.
So
we
Finance
hrit,
have
to
then
test
the
upgraded
system
to
make
sure
that
we
can
pay
people
correctly
and
pay
them
on
time,
so
that
we
can
pay
our
vendors.
We
have
you
know
various
vendors
that
we
do
business
with.
AB
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
payments
go
out
for
those.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
budget
as
we
plan
for
the
next
fiscal
year,
that
all
of
the
features
that
we're
accustomed
to
and
that
we
utilize
in
the
system
still
work,
and
that
takes
time
doing
that,
in
addition
to
the
day-to-day
stuff
that
we
do
for
our
city
for
our
employees.
AB
So
that
is
part
of
it
right.
So
we
have
to
do
testing
and
then
we
have
to
implement
that
feature
set
I'm.
Sorry
that
upgrade
number
two
into
the
system
like
again
before
the
end
of
January.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
other
processes,
other
gearing
processes
that
we
have
to
implement
right.
We
just
ended
open
enrollment,
October
21st,
so
we
have
to
get
those
open,
enrollment
changes
tested
and
then
load
it
into
the
HR
System.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
the
I
the
leave
rollover
process.
AB
Our
lead
year
does
not
coincide
with
our
fiscal
year.
Nor
does
it
coincide
with
accounting
gear.
Our
leave
year
begins
December
1st,
that's
by
ordinance,
so
I
leave
year
ends
November
25th,
and
so
we've
got
to
test
that
leave
rollover
process
in
order
for
us
to
implement
that
so
that
we
can
pay
employees
out
with
council's
approval.
Obviously
that,
hopefully,
will
be.
Resolution
will
have
next
week
for
Council
to
approve
to
approve
the
sick
checks.
AB
So
in
addition
to
that,
we
have
three
normal
bi-weekly
pay
periods
in
the
month
of
December.
So
again,
they're
five
Fridays
in
December
employees
will
receive
pay
on
four
of
those
five
Fridays
us
moving
forward.
We're
implementing
the
pay
plan
requires
the
system
to
be
down,
which
means
that
we've
got
to
finalize
all
of
the
employee
pay
records
that
are
currently
pending
in
the
system.
We've
got
to
communicate
with
the
employee
with
departments
whether
or
not
they
can
bring
own
new
employees.
AB
What
that
date
would
be
in
terms
of
the
start
date
of
any
new
employees.
I
mean
all
of
this
has
to
be
done
in
addition
to
what
has
to
be
done
in
the
HR
Finance
system.
There's
other
systems
that
requires
updating.
You
know
our
application
system,
I
mean
that
all
has
to
be
updated,
because
the
pay
structure
that
we're
going
to
has
changed
the
grading
of
our
positions
have
changed.
AB
F
She's
got
a,
they
are
very,
very
busy
we,
you
know,
you
may
not
notice
it
when
you
see
them
just
walking
around,
but
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
so
I
I'm
glad
you
shared
all
that,
but
here's
the
slide
that
I
don't
want
to
ask
for
and
and
I
hope
that
explains
some
of
it.
But
are
there
other
points
that
you
like
to
make
about
this
slide.
C
There
was
a
typo,
and
that
was
really
where
I
was
when
I
was.
You
know,
researching
after
the
council
meeting
that
if
we
came
today
and
passed
it
because
that
was
the
plan
once
we
you
know,
got
some
of
the
issues
with
those
appeals
taken
care
of.
How
is
it
that
a
two-week
shift
shifted
us
all
the
way
out
of
December
and
into
January,
because
it's
just
two
weeks
and
it
seems
like
we
could,
you
know
to
be
honest
kind
of
still
on
schedule
in
a
sense,
that's
that's
when
you're
looking
at
this
right,
but.
F
F
N
C
And
these
the
screen-
and
these
are
the
screenshots
that
we
received
you
know
via
email
and
text
messages.
So
the
explanation
that
I
actually
mentioned
was
it's
two
weeks
and
with
the
pay
plan
implemented
implementation
date
of
actually
the
12th,
which
is
this
week,
we're
still
based
on
what
we
see
we're
on
schedule
and
it's
not
making
sense.
AB
Right
so
we
did
make
a
correction
to
the
date
at
the
last
council
meeting
and
you
and
as
I
was
saying
it's
really
not
just
two
weeks,
because
there
was
a
that
would
have
had
to
have
been
a
lot
of
prep
work.
That
was
done
a
lot
of
communication
to
departments
and
employees
in
terms
of
making
it
happen
when
it
was
originally
presented.
So.
AB
AB
We
focused
we
put
our
Focus
towards
other
projects
that
require
our
attention.
I
mean
at
this
particular
time.
We've
started
working
on
other
things
that
we
need
to
do
in
terms
of
the
system
from
a
maintenance
standpoint.
You
know
testing
other
processes
that
don't
necessarily
have
to
do.
It
have
to
have
anything
to
do
with
the
implementation
of
the
pay
plan.
AB
F
But
I,
as
I
said,
I
I'm
going
to
have
more
conversation
with
them
afterwards,
I
don't
know
that
anything
will
change,
but
I
think
with
what
you've
gotten
what
you
wrote
on
the
resolution.
We
have
a
solution
and
that
is,
they
may
not
get
their
money
by
Christmas,
but
what
we
can
assure
is
that
they
will
get
in
their
first
paycheck
the
end
of
January,
but
they
will
benefit
from
a
separate
check
sometime
soon,
thereafter
kind
of
like
the
Christmas
or
sick
check
that
they
get.
F
J
That
kind
of
what
I
wanted
to
bring
up
was
the
the
shift
in
timeline
that
there's
the
added
things
that
Angelica
was
talking
about
and
a
lot
of
those
things
can
only
be
done
that
thing
at
that
time
they
can't
be
done
concurrently,
so
say
the
pay
they're
implementing
the
pay
plan.
Well,
maybe
that
system's
got
to
be
shut
down
for
two
days:
I,
don't
know
if
it's
two
days
but
Say,
say
Okay
four
days
then
or
two
weeks,
then
you
can't
be
doing
the
W-2
processor.
J
You
can't
be
doing
the
fsla
role
or
the
the
leave
role
or
things
like
that
so
pushing
it.
Those
couple
of
weeks
put
us
into
that
time
frame
where
they're
doing
all
that
other
stuff.
That
has
to
be
done
by
itself.
That
can't
be
done
concurrently
with
other
things,
so
that
that's
put
us
kind
of
at
a
not
a
standstill
but
made
that
timeline
go
a
little
bit
longer.
C
AD
Yes,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
I'm,
not
gonna,
repeat
everything.
That's
been
on
this
table
today,
I
think
the
employees.
Let
me
take
this
off
I'm.
Sorry,
I,
don't
want
to
spread
any
germs,
but
I'm,
not
gonna,
repeat
everything.
That's
been
said,
while
we're
at
this
table
at
this
time,
because
I
think
the
employees
out
there
in
the
audience
already
understand
it.
AD
Technology
is
great,
but
it's
not
all
that
there's
times
they
pause.
Everybody
thought
5G
will
be
the
best
thing
in
cellular
phones
and
it's
the
worst
thing
ever
so
I
just
think
we
need
to
just
go
ahead
and
pass
this.
We
already
gave
them
the
directive.
People
are
waiting
for
this
money,
they
need
it.
We
know
they're
short,
we
know
they're
doing
it,
it's
going
to
benefit
them
too,
so
they
ain't
going
to
sit
around
and
wait
because
they
want
their
money
for
their
family
too.
AD
So
they're
going
to
work
this
hard,
let
Angelica
let
Jeremy
whoever
need
HR
needs
additional
assistance.
Let
them
come
to
us
and
say
hey
if
you
want
this
by
this
date,
I
need
a
b
c
and
d
and
let's
get
it
done,
and
so
insane
and
say:
hi
Mr,
Mayor
I
want
to
ask
you
to
please:
let's
bring
it
up.
Let's
vote.
We
already
are
voted
on
the
amendment,
but
we
actually
didn't
vote
on
the
paid
plan
and
I
want
to
vote
on
the
playpen,
because
I
don't
know
how
much
to
hear.
Z
Mr
Mayor
I
have
a
a
technical
change
to
the
resolution
that
the
City
attorney
proposed,
and
that
is
in
the
last.
In
the
third
paragraph
of
the
resolution
it
says,
whereas
the
city
manager,
the
Human
Resources
Director,
have
made
a
presentation
to
council
recommending
that
implementation
of
the
plan
proceed
with
a
and
here's
the
technical
change,
November
12
2022
implementation
date.
The
resolution
has
the
January
date,
but
but
the
City
attorney
says
technically:
it
needs
to
say
November
the
12th
that
it
implies
implemented.
N
H
Council
of
Woodson
pretty
much
verbalized
what
I
was
saying.
You
know
the
time
that
we're
spending
going
around
and
around
and
around
and-
and
you
want
to
know
something
I
anticipated
for
us
to
be
going
through
these
birth
pains
with
this,
because
you
know
why
we
have
not
really
that
you
all
employees
are
the
backbone
of
this
government.
H
The
gentleman
that
gave
the
presentation
which
they
got
the
awards,
you're
the
ones
that
are
doing
the
work
and
we
have
not
ever
been
in
a
position
to
really
show
you
financially
how
much.
We
really
appreciate
you
and
so
I
I
anticipated
a
lot
of
the
give
and
take
that
we're
going
through,
because
when
you
have
to
try
to
iron
out
all
the
various
differences
and-
and
we
all
have
problems
with
the
longevity
be
in
military.
H
There's
there's
something
as
far
as
staying
on
a
job
and
working
on
a
job
for
the
Long
Haul,
especially
when
you
may
not
be
being
paid
for
what
you
feel
you
should
be
getting
paid
and
so
I
knew
it
was
going
to
be
a
lot
of
give
and
take
through
all
this
year.
I
knew
it
was
not
going
to
be
easy.
It
was
going
to
be
a
lot
of
birth,
pains
and
there's
still
a
lot
of
things
that
need
to
be
ironed
out.
H
I
was
trying
to
juggle
the
employees
that
were
happy.
We
got
all
the
emails,
Council
Barnes,
I'm,
happy
with
this
here
and
this,
and
this
and
I've
got
Council
Barnes.
There's
compression
I've
got
someone
that
I'm
working
longer
he's
getting
paid
more.
So
those
are
all
various
issues
that
we
can
solve
within
that
particular
time
frame
because
I
know
for
a
fact.
We
have
a
commitment
from
every
last
one
of
these
counselors
and
the
city
manager
that
we're
going
to
do
right.
H
It's
recorded
these
things
are
recorded.
So
if
you're
not
done
right,
you
call
Pop
logical.
The
mayor,
you
called
Casa
Tucker
and
whatever
and
say
you
all,
made
a
commitment,
I
struggle
with
not
paying
the
employees
and
everybody's
got
bills.
I've
got
two
two:
a
son-in-law
and
someone
else
that
works
for
the
government
and
I
have
some
other
relatives
who
are
here
for
Philadelphia
that
work
for
the
government
too,
and
they
want
their
paychecks.
H
Everyone
wants
to
get
paid
and
you,
if
you
look
around
this
table
here,
you're
looking
at
counselors
that
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
done
right
by
that.
You
are
done
right
by
and
I
just
want
to
get
this
issue
rolling
so
that
we
can
start
paying
some
of
the
employees
here
that
are
happy
and
be
working
on
the
other
employees.
That
feel
we
need
to
have
this
done.
You
have
a
commitment
from
all
these
counselors
here
that
we're
going
to
stand
by
you
and
the
city
manager
he
verbalized
two
years
see.
H
So
when
you
have
that
kind
of
commitment,
I
just
saw
us
getting
a
little
bit
wrapped
around
the
spokes
of
the
wagon.
When
we
could
pay
and
then
we
would
approach
pop
Barnes
if
he
has
a
pay
problem.
I've
got
two
years
I'm
going
to
wrestle
with
you
until
I
get
to
pay
that
I
know.
You
need
to
pay
me
and
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
headed
in
this
direction
right
now-
and
please
know
that
this
this
here
has
this.
H
These
bird
paints
have
just
been
for
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
done
right,
because
when
Glenn
Davis
poured
off
is
true,
we
got
to
maintain
this
not
just
now.
We've
made
a
commitment
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
have
enough
money
here
to
stand
up
for
what
we
committed
to,
and
that's
a
that's
an
issue
that
he
brought
up
that
we're
dealing
with
here
now
and
so
I
appreciate
y'all's
patience,
I'm
glad
we're
moving
in
this
direction.
I
think
what
we
need
to
do,
what
Mimi
said:
listen
we're
getting
we're
getting
now.
H
We
were
doing
good
now
we're
getting
caught
up
spokes
of
the
wheels
when
the
finance
people
can
be
right
now,
working
on
when
it
when
you
can
get
paid
and
that's
my
frustration
now
we
need
to
be
ongoing.
This
young
lady
right
here
I
think,
does
an
excellent
job
she's,
so
cool
Under,
Pressure,
I,
I
I
recommend
anybody,
that's
got
guts,
but
she
knows
her
job.
We
need
to
let
her
come
up
with
a
time
frame.
I
like
your
idea,
city
manager.
H
If
the
employees
know
they're
going
to
get
their
pay,
you've
said
it
a
number
of
times
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
that
happens.
Let's
get
on
with
you
doing
your
job,
it's
the
holidays.
Coming
everybody
wants
that
jingling,
okay
to
let
you
start
doing
your
job,
and
so
that's
that's
why
Mr
Mayor
thank
you
for
letting
me
expand,
but
it
gets
a
little
bit
of
frustrating.
Let
this
young
lady
and
her
staff
and
Jeremy
get
to
working
to
make
this
happen
for
one.

AA
S
Davis,
thank
you
mayor.
Maybe
maybe
I
was
out
of
the
country
for
a
little
bit
but
I'm
a
little.
Maybe
I
need
to
catch
up
on
this
a
little
bit,
but
I
just
don't
understand
that
why
we
don't
just
move
forward
with
the
promotions.
If
there's
a
concern
about
somebody
getting
damaged
or
getting
caught
up
in
the
pay
plan
we
can
solve
that
I
mean
that's,
that's
a
policy
issue
we
can
solve
it
nobody's
going
to
lose
any
money
in
this.
S
Everything
can
be
retroactive,
but
I,
don't
see
why
we
would
slow
down
a
promotional
process
which
people
are
entitled
to
and
just
move
forward.
There's
not
going
to
be
any
damages
or
anything
to
this.
This
is
something
that
can
be
solved.
Real,
easy
and
you're.
Not
talking
about
many
people,
so
I
don't
really
understand
it
completely,
but
I
I
just
think
it's
not
necessary
from
my
perspective.
Right
now,.
V
Is
me-
and
my
colleagues
knew
I
was
originally
opposed
to
this,
but
I've
dug
in
deeper
I've
talked
to
the
officers.
I've
talked
to
the
fire
and
EMS
folks
and
the
CPD
and
folks
in
the
sheriff's
department.
They
did
have
concerns
about
it,
but
I
think
as
long
as
this
may
require
an
amendment,
but
as
long
as
we
do
it
where
it
only
lasts
until
the
implementation
of
the
pay
plan.
My
understanding
is,
they
don't
think
they're
gonna,
be
that
many
people
within
a
two-month
period
that
are
going
to
be
pushed
back.
V
So
you
all
know
me.
I
was
opposed
to
this,
but
after
I
talked
to
folks
and
investigate
it,
they
did
tell
me
it
would
have
a
negligible
effect.
So
I,
you
know,
that's
the
only
only
thing
that
I
would
say
is
that
well
I
guess
we
could
make
changes
that
just
be
adding
to
the
list
of
director
Alexander
to
do
and
I've
talked
to
the
people
who
are
originally
opposed
to
it,
and
they
said
you
know
if
you
are
moving
the
paper
plan
forward
quicker,
then
that
would
be
fine.
V
AA
Don't
think
anybody's
gonna
be
affected.
We
just
took
out
the
earlier
of
the
implementation
date,
because
that
went
back
to
November
12th,
which
is
only
a
few
days
off
with
the
Chiefs,
are
fine
with
this
January
31.
That
gives
them
the
flexibility
they
need
to
see.
If
somebody
would
be
in
a
catch-22
or
not,
and
they
don't
have
to
promote,
they
can
promote
if
they
want
to.
V
AA
AC
Place
then,
if
the
few
that
this
would
affect,
if
this
is
not
voted
and
approved,
then
the
few
that
it
affects
can
always
come
back
on
an
appeal
process.
So
I
don't
see
the
I,
don't
see
the
necessity
of
this
at
all.
I
to
me,
I
think
that
this
could
create
more
problems
than
it
solves,
because
we
have
the
domino
effect
of
how
these
promotions
line
up
and
how
they
come
forward.
AC
Q
Do
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
how
does
this
play
into
General
government
as
well
as
Public,
Safety,
Council
Davis
was
out
of
town
and
I
just
want
to
say
to
him.
The
moratorium
came
about
because,
if
you
we
found
out
in
the
pay
plan,
if
you
were
promoted
before
the
plan
was
implemented,
that
you
were
being
penalized
as
far
as
your
pay
yeah.
If
we
can
correct
that
for
everyone,
because
there
are
people
in
general
government,
that's
holding
with
Public
Safety
everybody's
holding
promotions
because
they
don't
want
to
be
penalized.
A
I
think
I
think
the
the
upshot
of
it
was
is
that
we,
after
talking
with
Public
Safety,
and
it's
not
even
really
going
to
impact
fire
department
very
much
at
all,
but
the
promotional
procedures
are
set
in
ordinance
and
they
are
very
specific
as
to
how
they
are
to
be
applied
and
I.
Think
anytime,
we
begin
to
it.
Somebody
mentioned
the
domino
effect.
A
A
It's
only
going
to
potentially
impact
a
few
people,
but
those
people
have
been
through
the
process.
They've
tested
out
for
their
their
promotion
opportunity
and
it
does
it
does
no
harm.
In
fact,
it
does
prevent
a
few
folks
from
potentially
ending
up
in
a
situation
where
they
they
are
damaged.
So
all
right,
any.
AD
AD
A
A
AD
AD
So,
but
now
that
we've
passed
that
and
we
radioactive,
why
couldn't
this
just
go
as
usual,
because
if
there's
a
date
here,
the
date
should
be
pushed
back
based
on
what
we
just
did.
Can
you
clarify
the
confusion?
Because
several
of
us
have
one
impression
and
others
have
another
impression:
could
you
simplify
it
and
give
us
an
example?
Also
right.
AF
So
and
just
to
be
clear,
this
is
not
my
recommendation
as
far
as
to
give
them
over
a
choice
in
place,
but
this
was
discussed
and
I
was
in
agreement
with
the
moratorium
prior
to
the
passage
of
the
pay
plan.
So
currently
the
city
ordinance
requires
a
promotion
to
be
made
within
30
days
of
a
vacancy
So.
Currently
we
have
a
vacancy
for
one
position
due
to
retirement
retirement
that
took
place
October
on
October
31st.
AF
AF
AF
At
that
time
there
was
no
passage
of
the
pay
plan
and
the
concern
was
if
someone
is
promoting,
that
they
possibly
could
be
impacted.
Their
pay
could
be
impacted
by
the
time,
because
the
pay
plan
was
viewing
paid
based
on
time
in
that
particular
position
in
the
time
in
grade
compared
to
time
and
service.
AF
Q
AF
AD
Is
complex?
Okay,
let's
make
here,
here's
pops
and
he's
getting
ready
to
get
promoted.
Okay,
pops
is
getting
ready
to
get
promoted,
but
we
have
the
paid
plan
in
place.
We
just
paid
the
play
plan
if
we
don't
freeze
pops
from
getting
promoted
today
when
he
got
his
promotion
and
the
pay
plan
went
into
effect,
then
he
would
not
get
more
money
if
he
had
earned
more
money
because
he
just
got
promoted.
AF
N
AD
To
get
it
all
in
our
in
the
process,
I'm
a
visual
person,
that's
why
I
use
pop
as
an
example.
Let's
say
pops
got
promoted
right
and
we
paid
the
playpen.
Are
they
going
to
the
sole?
Let's
say
he
got
a
in
that
promotion.
He
got
a
pay
increase,
let's
say:
okay,
he
did
now
we're
going
to
the
play
plan
and
his
position
is
higher
than
it
was
when
he
got
promoted
and
he
will
benefit
from
the
pay
time.
AD
N
AD
N
AD
A
V
Right,
Council,
Garrett,
I'm,
gonna,
try
and
put
this
as
simple
the
terms
as
I
can
for
everybody.
I
think
this
is
plain
English.
We
are
under
ordinance.
That
promotions
must
occur
within
30
days.
In
some
circumstances,
that
might
not
be
good
for
the
employee
because
the
pay
plan
may
not
have
been
implemented
and
they
may
make
less.
So
it
is
in
the
chief
and
the
other
Chief's
discretion.
They
can
still
promote
people.
V
A
AC
AC
Z
The
ordinance
says
he
will
promote
within
30
days.
This
says
he
has
a
discretion
not
to
promote
within
30
days.
This
is
what
this
ordinance
is.
What
gives
him
them?
The
discretion
as
I
understand
it.
Is
that
not
correct
recipient
attorney,
so
all
this
does
is
to
say
Chief
Scarpa,
Chief
Blackman.
If
you've
got
a
promotion,
you
sit
down
with
whoever
you're
gonna.
You
want
to
promote
and
say
this
is
what
happens
to
your
pay.
Z
If
we
promote
you
right
now,
but
I
can
hold
off
until
a
later
date
and
if
I
do
this
is
what
happens
to
your
pay?
Let's
talk
about
it,
that's
that's!
What
I
think
this
this
ordinance
does.
It
gives
the
Chiefs
the
discretion
to
either
promote
immediately
as
the
ordinance
requires
or
to
hold
off
until
things
are
settled
out
and
and
the
Chiefs.
This
is
not
something
that
somebody
around
this
table
thought
up.
This
is
something
that
came
to
us
because
of
this
30-day
period,
so
I
I
too,
support
the
resolution.
Yeah.
A
X
X
X
S
Why
do
you
think
these
people
are
going
to
be
penalized?
You
know
what,
if
you
can
promote
them
right?
Yes,
it's
your
discretion
to
promote
them.
Yes,
sir,
you
know
what
they're
going
to
pay
you
get
paid
if
they
get
promoted
with
or
without
this
pay
structure.
Right,
yes,
sir
pay
them.
We
can
do
that.
One
person,
10
people,
but
you've-
got
to
organize
these
promotional
processes.
You've
got
to
bring
people
in
you've
got
to
make
all
this
stuff
happen.
That's
going
to
get
delayed.
X
S
X
We
actually
have
a
promotional
list,
that's
in
place,
so
we're
just
promoting
off
a
list.
The
process
has
occurred
last
year,
so
we
have
because
a
lot
of
our
folks
leave
in
October
31st.
We
have
a
number
of
vacancies
to
to
fill,
and
so
we
we
visited
with
those
folks
that
we,
if
we
promote
you
today,
you
will
lose
this
amount
of
money.
It's
your
choice.
What
do
you
want
to
do?
You
believe
we'll
allow
that
no
I.
Z
X
S
AF
X
AF
S
Well,
my
concern
is:
let
the
promotion
process
take
place,
let
it
have
to
promote
these
people
and
get
them
the
pay
they
deserve
and
that's
the
pay
after
the
implementation
of
this
pay
structure,
we're
not
going
to
hold
them
to
something.
We've
been
dealing
with
that
we've
already
given
people
a
list
of
what
their
recommended
salaries
are
I
mean
just
anyway,
but
yes,
sir
I
got
it.
Thank
you
man.
Yes,
sir.
Z
A
AG
AA
AG
Okay,
so
then
that
would
be
the
lock-in
date
for
their
time
and
classification.
So
and
that's
the
sticking
point
or
the
concern
about
promotions,
because
that
lock-in
date
on
classification
affects
how
much
money
they're
going
to
make.
So
if
that's
the
case,
then
how
does
the
moratorium
help
us
or
help
them.
AA
A
A
AA
AA
A
Q
AA
AD
AH
So
on
the
Entertainment
District
I
did
speak
with
councilor
Woodson
yesterday,
and
there
was
some
discussion
on
the
Uptown,
Entertainment,
District
and
so
I
won't
go
through
the
entire
presentation
again,
but
this
was
the
original
Entertainment
District
for
the
Uptown
area
that
was
proposed,
Broadway
to
Bay,
9th
to
14th
Street,
and
there
was
a
public
meeting
and
some
of
the
requests
from
the
public
meeting
was
to
add
12th
Street.
This
was
option
two
of
that
Entertainment
District.
AH
There
was
some
additional
discussions
about
adding
First
Avenue
from
11th
to
10th,
so
this
was
option
three
and
then
based
on
the
council
meeting
last
time.
This
would
be
option
four,
which
was
to
include
all
of
First
Avenue
from
12th
Street
to
10th
Street.
So
this
is
again
the
Uptown
Entertainment
District,
there's
also
a
second
Entertainment
District
that
was
included
in
the
ordinance,
and
this
is
high
Side
Market.
AH
This
would
be
their
Entertainment
District,
which
is
just
this
one
parcel
located
at
13th,
Street
and
2nd
Avenue
Midland
Commons,
came
and
spoke
during
the
meeting.
The
last
council
meeting
and
I've
also
heard
from
Old
Town
who's
interested
in
doing
an
Entertainment
District
in
Old
Town
as
well.
So
if
the
framework
of
the
Entertainment
District
is
passed,
then
each
individual
Entertainment
District
could
come
to
council
for
consideration
for
their
particular
Entertainment
District.
AD
Also
through
some
conversations
and
emails
and
Lucy
talking
to
Lucy,
we
had
discussed
in
the
last
meeting
about
for
Uptown
doing
it
temporary
for
a
year
and
come
back
within
three
months,
nine
months
to
see
how
it
affects
it,
see
what
they
they
felt
about
it.
That
was
the
Compromise
that
was
done
in
the
last
meeting.
The
reason
we
didn't
pick
an
option
was
because
Consular
Crabb
wanted
option
four
and
the
directive
was
to
go
back
and
look
at
Option
four.
AD
When
we
went
back
and
look
at
Option
four,
that
meant
that
that
request
will
include
the
churches
that
are
in
that
area,
so
the
council
will
have
to
decide
which
option
would
be
best
for
the
Entertainment
District.
If
that
option
doesn't
work,
it
doesn't
work.
The
council
has
the
right
to
pull
the
Entertainment
District
out
of
Uptown
or
make
any
changes
at
any
time
anytime.
We
create
an
ordinance.
We
can
amend
that
ordinance
at
any
time.
So
let's
say
that
we
went
with
option
four,
because
that's
what
crab
was
asking
for.
AD
Let's
say
we
go
with
that,
and
the
churches
get
upset
and
come
back
and
say:
I,
don't
want
our
churches
in
this
entertainment
area,
then
we
can
come
back
and
amend
it
to
remove
the
churches.
If
we
went
to
option
three,
that's
where
we'll
be
at
so
it
could
be
amended
at
any
time,
depending
on
the
on
the
wants
and
needs.
I
would
suggest
option
two
or
three,
but
it's
up
to
this
Council,
to
have
that
discussion
based
on
the
phone
calls
and
the
things
they
receive.
What
option
they
felt
was
good.
AD
I
did
get
an
email
from
the
restaurant
organization
in
Columbus
and
they
are
in
support
of
this
ordinance.
I
did
I
did
forward
it
to
you
all
so
that
you
can
see
that
the
restaurant
Community
is
in
favor
of
it.
So
the
question
today
is
one
is:
do
we
want
an
entertainment
districts
and
the
answer
is
going
to
be
yes
because
we
got
three
other
areas
that
are
not
as
complicated
and
wanted.
AD
There
hear
what
my
colleagues
have
to
say:
it's
only
like
three
four
people,
not
even
that
many
people
that
are
against
it
because
they're
afraid,
because
just
like
in
the
pay
plan,
every
all
these
different
stories
were
going
out
there.
They
haven't
even
tried
it.
Let's
say
if
it's
bad
or
bad
and
if
we
still
have
a
problem,
then
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
separate
you
know
take
a
time.
AD
AC
Thank
you,
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
first
part
of
implementing.
You
know
where
we
can
Implement
these
entertainment
districts,
but
after
the
letter
I
got
from
Ed
Wolverton
I
I
have
some
major
concerns
about
approving
an
Entertainment
District
for
uptown
at
this
time,
because
there's
a
lot
of
small
moving
parts
that
need
to
be
dealt
with
and
I'm.
Sorry
I,
don't
I,
don't
like
fixing
things
after
the
fact.
AC
I'd
rather
get
those
things
kind
of
squared
away,
so
that
everybody
knows
what
their
role
is,
what
their
responsibilities
are
and
then
we
Implement
that
Entertainment
District
I
think
it'll
be
much
more
successful.
That
way,
I
think
you
know,
if
we're
looking
out
for
these
businesses
and
we're
looking
out
for
the
reputation
of
Columbus
as
a
whole,
then
we
need
to
do
this
properly
and
in
order
and
so
I
don't
have
a
problem.
AC
If
you
want
to
pull
out
all
these
different
districts
on
this
ordinance
and
we
we
say
yes
we're
going
to
have
an
alcoholic,
you
know
we're
going
to
have
an
Entertainment
District
and
then
each
district
comes
to
us
separately
at
another
time.
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
that,
but
I
don't
want
these.
These
two
things
grouped
together
at
this
time.
AA
AE
AA
I
think
Ms
Hodge
can
help
me
too,
but
I
think
on
the
table.
Now
we've
got
in
the
ordinance
currently
before
you
as
amended.
That's
on
second
reading.
It
includes
the
Uptown
Entertainment
District
option,
one
I,
guess
and
high
Side
Market
and
that's
on
second
reading,
which
you
can
vote
on
or
if
you
want
to
delay
it
or
amend
it
further.
You
can,
but
that's
where
we
are
right.
This
minute.
AH
AE
AH
O
AG
High
Side,
Market
and
Uptown
hasn't
concurred
with
that
requirement,
so
I'm
I'm
not
sure
we're
ready
to
pass
an
ordinance
that
that
also
includes
approving
an
uptown
district
and
a
high
Side
Market
District
I'm
I'm
for
the
idea.
I
think
it's
a
great
concept
but
I
don't
think
the
details
are
sorted
out.
Yet,
as
the
ordinance
is
written.
AG
AC
AG
Z
I
have
two
questions
or
two
issues.
One
is
when
we
talked
about
the
Uptown
district,
and
maybe
we
want
to
find
a
different
name
for
that,
so
that
it's
not
connected
to
Uptown
Columbus,
because
Uptown
Columbus
seems
to
be
right
now,
acting
as
a
authoritative
group,
for
example,
they
said
that
it
has
been
said
that
Uptown
Columbus
would
provide
the
either
the
stickers
to
go
on
the
containers.
Are
the
containers-
okay,
who's
going
to
do
that
in
Midtown?
AH
Can
I
I
just
want
to
speak
to
that,
so
each
district
will
have
to
have
a
responsible
party.
High
Side
Market
is
listed
in
the
ordinance
who
they're
responsible
party
is
and
I've
coordinated,
that
with
old
town
as
well
as
Midland
Commons,
who
their
responsible
party
would
be
to
identify
the
containers
that
will
be
utilized
in
that
District.
Well,.
Z
The
containers
were
just
one
of
the
issues
that
that
Uptown
Columbus
brought
brought
forward
and
I
think
some
of
those
issues
will
be
in
many
of
the
in
in
all
of
those
districts.
I'm
I
think
that
we
ought
to
do
this.
We
ought
to
have
some
kind
of
Entertainment
District,
but
I
I,
don't
think
we
are.
We
have
all
of
the
t's
crossed
and
the
eyes
dotted
at
this
point
to.
O
Z
Z
AH
I
don't
know
specifically,
but
if
there
is
a
church,
that's
located
there,
it
would
not
impact
existing
businesses
that
hold
an
alcohol
license,
but
it
could
impact
based
on
the
distance
requirements,
any
future
alcohol
licenses
being
issued
within
the
required
distance.
So
it
could
impact
future
business,
but
it
would
not
impact
those
who
currently
have
an
alcohol
license.
Well,.
Z
And,
and
at
this
point
I
excuse
me
I'm
having
a
hard
time
here
at
this
point,
I,
don't
know
what
what
causes
this
to
be
a
church.
Do
they
have
to
have
you
know
Sunday
morning,
services
or
whatever
or
if
they're,
just
an
Outreach?
Is
that
considered
a
church?
You
know
all
of
those
kinds
of
questions
are
really
up
in
the
air
as
far
as
I'm
as
far
as
I
know
of
yes,.
AH
AH
AA
Z
AD
But
I
wasn't
aware
about
it,
but
what
I'm
saying
is
if
a
church
goes
in
there,
it
does
change
the
whole
concept
of
what
Uptown
was
supposed
to
be,
because
if
a
business
wants
to
come
there,
they
have
to
deal
with
the
300
rules,
the
boundaries
all
that
stuff,
then
you're
going
to
have
people
of
entertainment
and
people
of
Christianity
blocking
each
other.
You
have
CSU
down
there.
AD
But
I
was
convinced
and
everybody
agreed
to
it,
and
so
now
you
have
the
college
there.
But
now
you
intend
to
add
you
know
religion
to
an
area.
That's
supposed
to
be
an
entertainment,
I
mean
that's,
that's
a
bigger,
that's
a
bigger
problem
than
this
becoming
an
Entertainment
District,
it's
humongous,
I,
I
I
know
some
people
are
gonna.
AD
But
today
you
come
and
say
your
church
brought
that
property,
then
that
and
a
church
might
possibly
go
there.
You're
you're
talking
on
bigger
picture
than
that
and
I
think
that
the
merchants
should
be
upset,
because
who
all
knew
that
we're
here
fighting
for
a
an
extension
to
a
vision.
We're
here
fighting
to
bring
something
new
for
people
that
come
here
for
conferences
to
visit,
family
people
constantly
say:
there's
nothing
things
to
do.
Uptown
finally
got
something
going
and
now
we're
going
to
say
we're
going
to
change
that
momentum.
AD
I
am
like
sitting
here
in
shock,
but
I
don't
want
to
penalize
hindsight.
Midtown
I
don't
want
to
penalize
them.
I
I
hate
it.
We
will
be
penalizing
pedophile,
because
this
isn't
his
fight.
All
he
wanted
to
do
was
a
businessman
in
Columbus
Georgia
and
we're
making
it
difficult
for
him
to
just
be
a
business
person
in
Columbus
Georgia.
AD
It's
a
shame,
he's
already
gone
to
Phoenix
City
and
he's
got
everything
done
and
now
we're
adding
Christianity
to
a
location
where
it's
supposed
to
be
drinking
and
dancing
and
I
I'm
sitting
here,
like
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
What
is
this
so
I?
Don't
know
what
my
colleagues
feel,
but
I
don't
think
we
need
to
keep
delaying
it
because
of
Uptown
I
think
if
we
can
just
make
an
amendment
to
the
ordinance
to
remove
up
top
from
it
and
those
supporters
can
get
mad
at
me.
AD
AD
C
AC
AC
AC
N
AD
AC
AD
Yep
and
and
staff
needs
to
go
back
and
see
what
we
can
do
pedal
five,
because
that's
not
fair,
buy
and
buy
into
business
to
come
to
Columbus,
to
do
a
business
to
be
in
a
battle
between
Uptown,
a
church
and
an
emergence
that
was
in
his
fight.
His
his
concern
was
to
come
and
do
a
business
bring
something
virtual
something
good
to
Uptown
and
he
got
he
ended
up
in
this
battle
that
he
shouldn't
have
been
entered.
A
AA
AC
AD
Yes,
but
he
should
be
that's
like
you're
in
real
estate
right
and
they
told
you
you
could
do
your
business,
but
you
can
only
do
it
your
way,
their
way,
not
your
way.
How
would
you
feel
then,
because
that's
basically
what
we're
telling
him
if
you're
going
to
do
business
in
Columbus
Georgia,
it's
going
to
be
this
way,
because
we
have
a
problem
with
Uptown
Columbus.
AD
A
I
mean
listen.
We
we
know
that
the
way
our
laws
are
set
that
any
time
there's
a
any
any
time,
there's
a
relocation
of
a
church,
whether
it's
in
a
strip
mall
or
it's
in
a
downtown
area.
It's
going
to
have
an
impact
on
future
economic
viability
for
some
of
that.
So
all
right,
so
there's
a
motion.
Second
councilor
Davis
is
this
to
the
motion.
Yeah.
A
S
Sir
well,
first
of
all,
I'm
just
going
to
say
this
and
clear
it
up.
I
do
take
offense
to
the
conversation
about
the
church
and
it's
my
church
and
my
church
does
great
things
in
this
community
next
I'm
not
going
to
I.
Think
if
you're
going
to
support
it,
you
you
need
to
support
it,
where
you
don't
create
a
competitive
disadvantage
and
then
you
know
I
think.
If,
if
we
piecemeal
this
thing
together,
then
people
are
going
to
be
left
out.
S
S
I
think
that's
what
I
just
said
pulling
it
out,
creates
a
competitive
disadvantage
if
you
approve
it
in
the
other
areas
and
it's
my
understanding
that
the
business
that
we're
trying
to
work
with
is
going
to
be
in
those
areas
anyway
and
drop-off
points
and
things
like
that
and
I
I'm
I
I.
Just
you
know
from
a
pro-business
standpoint,
I'm
just
not
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
doing
that.
At
this
point,
if
we're
going
to
do
it.
AC
Z
Z
Z
There
are
a
number
of
businesses
in
the
downtown
area
that
I
think
need
to
be
considered
and
I
I'm
just
I'm.
Just
not
convinced
at
this
point.
Excuse
me
that
council
is
ready
to
take
a
position
on
all
of
those
issues
in
uptown
and
high
market,
so
at
this
point,
I
would
certainly
support
a
motion
to
delay
hold
off.
Let's
get
some
of
these
questions
answered
and
come
back.
There
are
too
many
questions
for
me
to
support
at
this
time.
Q
F
F
I,
don't
know,
pedal
pup
owner
I,
don't
know
the
gentleman
that
came
to
council
but
I
believe
he
approached
us
not
about
an
Entertainment
District,
but
about
pedal,
Club
and
and
so
when
he
approached
the
city
about
Pedal
Pub,
it
grew
into
an
Entertainment
District
conversation
for
Uptown
and
then
they
grew
even
larger
for
an
entertainment
system
in
various
locations
across
the
city
and
all
the
pedal
pull-up
guy
wants.
He
wasn't
looking
for
an
Entertainment
District.
F
He
has
Pedal
Pub
in
Phoenix
City
with
alcohol,
and
now
he
comes
to
Columbus
and
he
wants
Pedal
Pub
in
Columbus
in
our
uptown
area
with
alcohol,
and
so
we
send
them
off
on
a
journey
about
an
Entertainment
District,
and
then
we
tell
them.
Oh
we're
going
to
expand
it
further
and
we're
going
to
have
entertainment
districts
all
over
Columbus
and
all
the
man
wanted
was
a
business
license
for
Pedal
Pub
in
Columbus,
just
like
what
he
has
in
Phoenix
City
and
now
he's
lost
out
there
in
la
la
land
somewhere
and
I.
F
Just
believe
he
deserves
a
shot
and
I
hope
that
as
Council
Whitson
said
that
somehow,
even
if
the
Entertainment
District
does
not
move
we'll
get
back
to
the
reason
he
came
to
the
city
and
what
he's
trying
to
do
as
an
honest
business
person
to
do
business
in
Columbus
Georgia.
Just
like
he's
doing
business
in
Phoenix
City
with
a
population
of
30
000
people.
F
AH
AC
AD
AD
I
understand,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
talk
to
counselor,
Davis
and
K
scale.
Hill
Church
I
didn't
mean
to
disrespect
them
because
I
believe
I'm,
a
child
of
God
and
I
and
I
believe
and
I
like
outreaches
I
I
do
missionary
work.
That's
not.
That
was
not
the
point.
The
point
I
was
trying
to
stress
is
that
there
was
a
vision
when
Uptown
was
designed
and
it
wasn't
a
sign
for
like
a
vision
of
a
church
or
an
outreach
program.
AD
That
was
my
that
was
where
I
was
going
so
that
changes
the
whole
outlook
of
what
the
vision
was
for.
Uptown
I
mean
I'm
working
with
another
group
of
Outreach
group.
Now
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
I
know
Catskill
church
since
judge
Peters
was
here
because
he
made
sure
we
were
all
involved
over
there
quite
a
bit.
That's
not
my
point.
AD
My
point
is
that
it
was
a
picture
thrown
where
he
the
people
not
knowing
about
it,
and
then
we
got
to
this
point
because
one
gentleman
wanted
to
do
business
in
Columbus
Georgia,
and
then
everyone
saw
an
opportunity
to
increase
the
vision
of
Uptown
and
that's
how
we
got
here
and
an
Entertainment.
District
is
a
good
thing
regardless,
where
it
goes
competition
we
all
got.
Competition
skip
was
in
real
estate,
you're
in
real
estate,
you're,
all
going
after
the
same
clients.
AD
AD
Competition
is
not
a
bad
thing
as
long
as
you're
providing
the
right
product
and
the
customer
service
you
need
so
I'm.
Just
gonna.
Ask
this
Council,
let's
create
just
don't
involve
anybody
in
it.
Let's
just
create
an
Entertainment
District,
which
we
already
have
everything
in
place.
Let
anyone
that
wants
have
an
Entertainment
District,
make
that
request
to
us
and
then
let's
just
go
back
and
help
this
business,
because
this
business
didn't
ask
to
be
in
the
middle
of
this
battle
and
then
let
up
Tom
and
their
merchants
and
and
Escape.
AD
That
wants
to
come
down
there
and
the
university
there
to
have
this
discussion
and
have
this
debate
or
whatever
and
when
they
decide
they
want
to
be
an
Entertainment
District.
Then
let
them
come
before
this
Council
and
ask
for
it.
But
we
should
not
continue
to
stop
people
from
building
their
dreams
or
having
their
business
because
of
Uptown.
AD
AA
AD
AD
Let's
do
this:
let's
go
ahead
and
go
with
the
the
first
request
listed.
Lay
it
bring
back
a
new
ordinance
for
an
Entertainment
District.
Do
not
put
anybody
in
that
Entertainment
District,
just
an
ordinance
about
Entertainment
District,
then
coming
back
and
then
go
back
and
find
what
we
could
do
for
this
gentleman
and
let
yes
well.
A
G
A
AC
AC
AD
A
AA
A
AE
AD
Before
we
go
on
just
to
make
it
clear
to
to
those
interested
parties
in
the
Entertainment
District
and
the
entertainment,
as
you
can
see
this,
this
Council
really
does
debate
and
really
look
at
people's
concerns,
and
issues
has
been
demonstrated
today
with
the
paid
plan
with
the
promotion
and
now
this
here.
So
when
you
hear
rumors
that
we
don't
care,
we
don't
listen
to
our
constituents
now.
You
can
see
yourself
and
there's
living
proof
recorded
in
taped
that
we
do
listen
for
those
interested
bodies
in
this.
AD
In
this
debate
about
the
entertainment,
District
y'all
need
to
go
back
and
work
it
out
and
then
come
before
us
and
tell
us
what
you
want
and
I'm
asking
city
manager
Pam.
We
need
to
go.
Do
something
to
correct
the
issue
that
has
been
caused
to
paddle,
pound
and
I
know
they're
going
to
be
some
angry
folks.
But
if
you
can't
get
six
votes
here,
you
ain't
going
to
pass
it
and
there
is
no
six
votes
to
pass
anything
right
now
and
I
would
just
ask
City
attorney.
A
AD
F
F
Z
The
motion
that
that
I
made
was
to
table
all
of
the
conversation
about
the
entertainment
about
the
entertainment
District,
as
is
in
this
ordinance.
If
pedal
Pub
wants
to
do
their
business
without
alcoholic
beverages
as
this
would
have
allow,
they
can
do
that.
But
at
this
point
the
the
motion
that
passed
said
we
will
table
this
issue
until
and
in
order
for
us
to
discuss
it
again
under
parliamentary
procedure,
somebody
will
have
to
bring
that
back
for.
F
AE
When
we
do
bring
this
back,
we
talked
about
Miss
Hodge
talked
about
who
was
the
responsible
party
in
each
of
the
districts,
and
one
question
I
had
was:
if
Uptown
is
not
going
to
be
involved,
then
who
is
the
responsible
party
with
the
Pedal
Pub?
To
make
sure
the
cups
are
properly?
You
know,
are
in
the
right,
are
legal,
basically,
so.
AE
AE
F
F
F
AD
City
manager,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
because
that's
what
exactly
what
we're
saying,
because
when
they
first
talk
about
it
alone-
and
there
was
some
options
available
for
them,
but
through
that
conversation
it
got
to
this
bigger
picture.
So
there
is
because
he's
no
different
than
a
developer
coming
here
and
saying:
I
have
a
restriction
here
and
I
want
a
special
exception.
It's
no
different
than
us
doing,
Special
exception
for
other
people
with
alcohol,
because
if
somebody
wants
to
have
entertainment
or
something-
and
they
want
to
have
a
temporary
alcohol,
there's
an
exception
for
that.

AJ
AK
AJ
Good
afternoon,
once
again,
I'm
Angela
White,
6004,
White,
Pine,
Drive,
Midland
Georgia
31820
I'm
here
in
regards
I,
do
own
Tuesday's
street
tacos
and
burritos.
Along
with
my
husband,
we
have
a
brick
and
mortar
as
well
as
a
food
truck.
We
opened
our
Mobile
in
2018
and
we
opened
our
brick
and
mortar
in
2021..
AJ
You
know,
cost
a
lot
of
money
to
be
licensed
and
regulated
and
do
things
the
right
way
and
now
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
mobile
units
coming
up
that
aren't
regulated
and
I
in
fact,
have
one
mobile
unit
that
Parts
in
front
of
my
brick
and
mortar
that,
when
I've
met
with
them
to
you
know
address
my
concerns.
It's
it's
always
met
with
irritation
and
it's
met
with
well
just
irate
Behavior.
AJ
So
it's
my
proposal
that
I,
you
know
I
try
to
push
the
support.
Local
I
do
support
local
I
think
it's
council's
position
the
same
to
support
local.
But
what
I'm,
seeing
in
terms
of
my
mobile
business
is
that
our
schools,
our
public
libraries,
even
our
own
Council
I,
mean
our
public
safety
building,
isn't
supporting
local
in
the
same
right
and
actually
have
evidence
of
that.
AJ
This
is
one
of
many
there's.
They
are
mobile
units
popping
up
everywhere.
Social
media
has
provided
options
for
people
to
just
sell
food
from
their
homes.
These
are
unregulated
people
selling
food
from
their
kitchens.
You
know
we
don't
know
what's
going
on
in
their
kitchens,
you
know
what's
going
on
in
my
kitchen,
because
I
have
a
health
score
posted
that
says
what's
going
on
in
my
kitchen,
but
I
think
just
a
conversation
needs
to
be
had
that
well
to
know
what
to
look
for
in
terms
of
like
food
safety.
AJ
You
know,
I
know
what
a
licensed
food
vendor
looks
like,
because
I
am
one
but
a
lot
of
people
when
I
go
to
Food
Truck
festivals,
not
not
the
one.
That's
you
know
coming
up,
because
that
one
is
run
the
way
it's
supposed
to
be,
but
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
and
and
if
an
Entertainment
District
does
happen,
that's
going
to
present
a
lot
more
opportunities
for
these
unregulated
food
vendors
to
have
opportunities
as
well.
So
it
just
I
feel
like
we've
set
a
bar,
it
needs
to
be
upheld.
AJ
AJ
AJ
A
You
for
for
bringing
this
bringing
us
to
to
our
attention.
I
know
there
was
a
discussion
about
it
and
we're
we've
got
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
try
to
do
some
spot
checking.
We
obviously
can't
check
all
for
one
of
those
with
the
Personnel
limitations
we
have,
but
we
can
certainly
do
some
spot
checking
to
make
them
a
little
more
nervous
and
I
I
live
kind
of
in
that
area.
AJ
AJ
A
And
that
and
that
is
and
and
that
is
admittedly
our
Challenge
from
a
Personnel
standpoint
getting
out
there
and
enforcing
it.
But
there's
got
to
be
a
way
for
us
to
step
it
up
a
little
bit
from
what
we've
been
doing
and
we
we
did
talk
about
the
fact
that
dph
is
involved
in
that
matter.
Of
fact,
I
think
she
might
have
been
here
briefly,
but
Dr
hiltz
Who's
going
to
try
to
make
the
meeting
and
I
don't
guess
she
was
able
to
do
that.
But
but
we'll
we'll
follow
through
on
it.
Council
Tucker.
C
Misses
I
want
to
thank
Mrs
White
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention,
because
I
thought
this
was
a
valid
vendor
and
actually
I
was
looking
at
it,
not
the
alcohol
part,
but
they
come
around
like
sporting
events.
For
the
you
know,
the
youth
football
leagues
and
things
like
that
they've
actually
been
it
sure-
would
be
so
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
to
our
attention
and
now
I
will
definitely
ask
for
Approved
vendor
list
when
you
know
we're
doing
things
like
Juneteenth
and
whatever
to
make
sure
that
we
have.
You
know
the.
AE
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
say:
Miss
White
is
a
constituent
of
business,
is
in
counselor
districts,
a
councilor
Davis's
District,
but
we
had
a
chance
to
talk
the
other
day
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
us
this
to
our
attention
and
also
bringing
a
solution
with
you.
So
I
would
hope
that
everyone
would
do
that,
but
I
appreciate
you
doing
it.
Thank.
Y
A
AL
It's
always
been
frustrating
and
I'm
making
this
point
today.
Because
of
the
answer
that
happened,
we
lost
two
young
people
recently
and
I
just
spoke
here.
Maybe
two
months
ago
I
wrote
some
of
y'all
just
to
talk
about
the
lack
of
investments
in
the
streets,
the
lack
of
police
utilization
at
certain
Crossings,
the
lack
of
overgrowth
and
the
lack
of
certain
hiring
positions.
That
I
think
could
have
prevented
such
a
tragedy.
But
it's
like,
like
I,
said
it's
like
it's
still
like
you
can't
there's
no
Focus
there.
It's
like
you,
take
a
tragedy.
AL
Somebody
get
killed
to
then
come
in
and
say:
okay,
we
got
to
fix
this.
He
just
I
can't
see
it.
He
just
mentioned
about
bringing
Solutions.
You
know
somebody
mentioned
today
earlier
about
metering
systems
and
stuff
like
technology
like
that,
you
know.
I
just
want
to
hit
on
that
real
fast.
Although
with
that
on
my
top
area
in
the
Army,
we
have
meeting
systems
that
meter
all
our
roads.
You
know
map
our
roads,
so
this
is
going
back
to
the
strategy,
because
I
keep
saying
on
the
South
Side.
AL
AL
this
role
to
get
priority
next
time
you
get
paid
not
doesn't
matter
where
it's
at
the
condition
should
dictate
when
it
gets
repaved.
You
know,
and
that
should
be-
and
I
I
talked
to
the
city
engineer,
there's
probably
a
listing
somewhere
in
some
back
page
of
the
internet
or
something
like
that,
but
a
visible
strategy
of
a
priorities.
So
people
can
see
that
will
go
a
long
way
to
just
make
people
feel
better
about
the
Consolidated
Government,
at
least
in
my
opinion,
in
my
assessment.
AL
The
same
thing
we
mentioned
about
definitely
on
the
South
Side,
not
just
our
roads,
but
our
water
systems.
Oh
our
sewer
systems.
They
mentioned
that
I
I
struggle
there
every
day
you
know
my
father,
you
know
they
have
meeting
systems,
they
do
have
medium
systems
for
that.
For
that
purpose,
but
because
there's
no
true
investment
strategy,
that's
known
all
the
way
down
to
the
lowest
level
like
at
least
in
Augusta.
They
missing,
Augustine
I
live
in
Augusta
for
a
long
time
too.
AL
When
that
truck
drives
past
your
meter-
and
it
goes
on
your
phone
that
you
have
a
leak
that
person
actually
stopped
by
their
car,
you
got
their
car
walked
to
that
house
and
tell
that
person.
You
have
a
leak,
but
they
don't
do
that.
They
just
drive
by
you,
know
and
I
got
it.
I
don't
want
to
minimize
anybody
that
works
for
the
government,
but
maybe
they
don't
understand
what
the
strategy
is.
The
strategies
to
to
lower
the
bills
of
the
customers
is
it
to
identify
the
the
leaks
is
to
get
efficient?
AL
What
is
it
because
it
needs
to
be
defined
so
that
person
that
Frontline
person
knows?
Let
me
tell
this
older
person
that
you're,
four
or
three
commodes
the
the
internal
parts
of
them
are
leaking.
That's
the
first,
that's
the
first
problem
for
stuff
like
that
or
to
even
go
farther.
If
you
got
a
new
Housing
Development
on
the
back
side
of
all
Housing
Development,
that's
going
to
take
that
water
pressure
away.
I
mean
it's
like.
AL
What's
the
purpose
of
all
this,
if
you're
going
to
invest
in
that
technology,
if
not
going
to
have
a
strategy
to
interact
with
citizens,
so
I
don't
want
to
get
a
long
win
because
I'll
see
you
in
a
day,
listen
to
all
the
comments
about
we
care
and
we
doing
this
and
that-
and
we
know
this
is
going
on-
we
have
the
money
we
have.
The
funding
and
I'm
not
minimizing
all
that,
because.
B
N
AL
AL
If
we
could
visually
understand
what
the
parties
are
like
I
said
on
the
South,
Side
I,
just
don't
know
like
Uptown
we're
gonna
invest
in
this,
so
downtown
we're
going
to
best
in
this
I,
never
really
hear
what
we're
going
to
invest
in
on
the
South,
Side
I
could
say:
Road
Saint,
Mary's,
Road,
I'm,
tired
of
driving
all
the
way
across
town
to
eat
somewhere
else.
You
know,
I
would
like
to
get
with
private
investors
to
put
a
restaurant
over
there
because
they
would
get
business
over
there.
You
know
if
the
effort
would
be
made.
AL
I
hear
all
the
the
old
climate
why
it
won't
happen,
but
nobody
tries
I'm
just
saying.
If
it's
possible
can
can
the
city
look
at
a
better
narrative,
better
Communications,
a
better
investment
strategy
in
particularly
this
outside,
because
I
know.
In
the
north
side,
things
get
done
a
little
bit
faster
for
whatever
reason
to
just
show
people
the
trust
is
there
and,
like
you
say,
people
first,
we
care
I
just
want
to
see
that
more.
As
far
as
the
strategy.
F
F
That
a
council
member
can't
call
me
and
say
well
come
do
this
road,
because
what
we're
going
to
do
is
go
to
the
pavement
management
system.
You
know.
So,
if
you
call
me
and
your
council
member
on
the
now
north
side
and
you
want
to
roll
page,
when
we
go
to
the
pavement
management
system,
it
is
what
it
is
and
we're
not
taking
it
out
of
order.
F
It
is
what
it
is,
whether
it's
north
south
east
or
west,
and
so
the
pavement
management
system
allows
us
to
treat
our
community
with
Equity
be
fair
to
all
of
the
citizens
of
Columbus.
So
we
have
a
pavement
management
system
when
it
comes
to
resurfacing
and
Paving
streets
in
Columbus
Georgia,
no
politics,
it
is
what
it
is.
So
I
want
to
be
very
clear
about
that:
not
North
Side,
not
south
side
or
any
other
side
and
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
steam.
Your
road
we've
known
steam,
Mill
Road,
has
been
an
issue.
F
Councilor
Tucker
for
some
time
you
advocated
and
and
and
to
be
transparent,
I
live
on
Steam
Mill
Road,
that's
where
I
live
as
I
shared
with
Ms
Rayford
yesterday
and
so
I.
Don't
think
anybody
can
tell
me
anything
about
steam,
Mill
Road,
because
that's
where
I
live
and
I've
lived
there
for
25
years
on
Seaman,
Road
and
so
I
know
the
situation
on
steemia
road.
F
F
It
was
on
the
ballot
and
passed
by
the
voters
before
this
tragedy
and
it's
22.5
million
dollars.
We're
gonna
and
I,
told
Mr
Rayford
we're
going
to
put
10
foot
wide
sidewalk
on
one
side,
we're
going
to
put
a
four
foot
wide
sidewalk
on
the
other
side
of
steam,
Mill
Road
we've
got
round.
Well
we're
going
to
have
black
light
poles
we're
going
to
have
wrought
iron.
F
You
know
the
benches
and
their
receptacles
we're
going
to
have
a
roundabout
at
Southern
Pines
MacArthur
steam
meal,
we're
going
to
have
a
roundabouted,
dogwood,
I,
believe
and
steam
meal.
We'll
have
a
roundabout
as
you
Shirley,
Winston,
that
North
Star
and
but
a
10
foot
wide
sidewalk
and
a
four
on
one
side,
four
on
the
other,
and
so
that
was
on
the
ballot.
AH
Go
there
we
go
so
this
is
just
putting
together
just
the
two
t,
sploss
lists
to
show
the
differences
between
what's
being
done
in
South,
Columbus
and
what's
being
done
in
North,
Columbus
and
all
I've
done
is
take
the
list
and
highlight
those
projects
that
are
in
South
Columbus.
So
on
the
2012
teas
floss.
The
follow
me
trail.
AH
The
us-27
Custer
Road
Buena
Vista
spiderweb,
the
185
diverging
diamond
at
Buena,
Vista

the
Casita

is
all
in
South
Columbus
I've
excluded
Metra
from
this,
because
Metro
Services,
the
entire
community,
so
I
kind
of
highlighted
them
in
in
blue,
but
they
do
provide
services
in
South
Columbus
as
well
as
North
Columbus.
And
then
those
are
the
Muskogee
County
only
projects,
and
then
there
are
two
joint
projects
with
Harris
County.
AH
Most
of
the
projects
that
are
joint
with
Harris
County
are
in
majority,
Harris,
County
and
then
I
also
looked
at
the
2022,
and
you
can
see
all
of
the
ones
highlighted
again
in
yellow.
This
is
band
One,
Projects,
South,
Columbus
steam,
Mill,
Road,
Buena,
Vista,
Road,
South,
Lumpkin,
Road,
13th,
Avenue,
17th,
Street,
Liberty,
Theater,
Fifth,
Avenue,
connector,
Andrews,
Road
and
Brennan
Road,
and
there
are
three
projects
in
band:
two
Forest
Road,
Morris
Road
and
Casita
Road
and
again
Metra
really
Services,
all
of
Columbus.
So
when
you
look.
F
F
F
F
F
That
councilor
Davis
has
mentioned
time
and
time
again,
so
you
know
I
want
you
to
know
in
the
public
to
know
when
you
know
you
hear
this
know
that
we
are
working
and
we
are
spending
a
lot
of
money
Citywide,
but
but
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
in
South,
Columbus
and
mayor
I.
Just
wanted
to
just
make
that
point.
I.
C
Yes,
if
possible
and
I'm
not
sure
if
Mr
Rayford
was
requesting
when
he
said
visual,
is
it
possible
for
us
to
see
some
of
the
other
projects
That's
not
including
in
t-splash
and
I'll,
say
this
today,
you
know
when
you
go
past,
but
Chilli
is
crowded,
so
I
took
the
the
back
way
by
terminal
cord
and
going
to
a
Carver.
Carver
street
is
paid.
C
That's
the
street
I
used
to
you
know
bust
my
butt
every
day,
I'm
trying
to
ride
my
bike
and
I
was
shocked
to
see
Carver
Carver
Street,
not
too
it
wouldn't
pay.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago
now
it's
paved
but
I
mentioned
also
Chicago
Road.
Last
week,
I
was
on
Chicago,
Road
and
I
didn't
even
know.
That
was
one
of
the
projects
and
that's
what
I
was
asking
to
see
which
roads
that
way
we
can
promote
it.
F
C
To
say
you
know
these
roads
and
even
though
car
Street
ain't
in
my
districts
and
but
but
that's
what
my
that's,
what
my
grandma
but
I
was,
and
she
was
happy
because
now
she
you
know,
can
easily
you
know,
pull
stuff
out
on
her
to
put
a
trash
can
out
and
stuff
like
that.
It's
it's
easier,
but
just
just
to
see
that
way,
we
can
really
present
that
it
is
a
lot
going
on
regarding
pavement
and
I'm,
seeing
it
yeah
by
taking
some
of
these
little
shortcuts
yeah.
F
S
Ministry
manager,
when,
when
we
do
these
presentations,
I
think
it's
all
also
very,
very
important.
When
we
address
some
of
the
issues
there
they
related
to
development.
There
are
more
development
incentives,
Town's
south
side
of
town
in
anywhere
in
our
community.
It's
there.
People
can
do
well
if
they
want
to
do
it
and
a
lot
of
times.
There's
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
That's
just
totally
out
of
our
hands.
S
People
in
my
district
are
like.
We
don't
want
any
more
growth,
you
know
somewhere
else,
but
they're,
not
the
ones
making
decisions.
I'm,
not
you're,
not
there's
a
lot
of
Dynamics
behind
all
this
in
real
estate
development,
whether
it's
Market
studies
or
you
know
demographics
and
things
that
that
we
have
nothing
to
do
with
that's
all
handled
at
the
corporate
level.
But
I
do
know
that
there
are
tremendous
development
incentives
in
many
places
that
we're
talking
about
that
provides
developers
with
outstanding
opportunities
they
just
have
to
take
advantage
of
it.
S
So
that
needs
to
be
said
also
along
with
investment,
whether
it's
an
Enterprise,
Zone
or
or
opportunity
zones
or
the
opportunity
zones
from
employment.
That
in
itself
is
a
a
major
incentive
for
a
developer.
We
just
need
to
get
more
people
excited
about
it,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
reality
of
it
is
we
really
don't
make
those
decisions.
S
You
know
and
I
I.
Don't
know
people
understand
that,
but
it
is
the
reality.
A
lot
of
it
is
being
done
in
another
state
at
some
corporate
level
in
a
back
room
they
make
their
decisions
and
we
don't
even
we
we're
not
privy
to
any
of
that.
That's
right
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
that,
but
you're
right
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
investment
going
on
in
these
places
that
that
open
the
door
I
mean
that's.
A
E
Good
one
everyone
I'm
not
going
to
take
a
lot
of
time.
I
did
come
to
talk
to
ask
you
to
vote
in
favor
of
it,
but
instead
I'm
going
to
stand
here
and
just
say
a
sincere
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
on
my
behalf
on
the
behalf
of
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
all
those
employees
that
are
going
to
benefit
from
your
actions.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
AI
Yes,
good
afternoon,
mayor
council
I
just
wanted
to
stick
around
and
same
as
drail
to
say
to
each
of
you.
Thank
you
so
much
I
know:
I
speak
for
our
department
at
Metro
and
I
know
they're
they're
grateful
as
well
as
all
of
the
city.
Employees
also
Everett
Fleming,
our
assistant
directors
here,
and
we
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
approving
it
today
and
allowing
us
a
chance
to
move
forward.
AI
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
work,
my
job
Monday
through
Friday
from
eight
to
five
and
I
drive
a
bus
on
Saturdays.
So
that's
why
I'm
in
this
uniform,
because
I
drive
a
bus,
every
Saturday
since
we've
been
short
of
employees,
bus
operators,
so
I
also
wanted
to
use
this
platform
to
say
to
the
public.
If
you
are
looking
for
a
job
or
you
know
someone
looking
for
a
job,
please
give
us
a
call
at
Metra
706,
two,
two
five,
four,
five,
eight
one.
AI
A
AK
AK
AK
1110
Neil
drive,
thank
you,
okay
and
they
burn
whatever
and
they've
even
gone
to
the
farthest
thing
with
the
the
grills
burning
stuff
in
the
grill
and
barbecue
grills,
just
just
to
get
by
I,
don't
know
what
the
law
is
on
it,
but
I've
called
the
fire
department
down.
Sometimes
they
see
it.
Sometimes
they
don't.
You
can
smell
it,
and
it's
so
Smoky
out
there
in
the
street
it
looks
like
a
house
is
on
fire
or
something
a
fire
has
started,
and
it's
just
smoldering
and
it's
coming
into
my
and
I
can't
breathe.
AK
It
just
takes
my
breath.
Even
people
burning
leaves
and
sticks.
I
thought
they
weren't
supposed
to
do
that.
You
know
and
then,
when
the
firemen
get
out
there,
they
go,
did
you
call
and
I
was
like
yeah
and
that's
on
the
truck.
You
know
and
they
tell
me
you
need
to
go
to
bed
and
they
smell
it.
They
I
know
they
smell
it.
AK
The
last
time,
I
called
the
911
dispatcher
told
me
that
that
the
police
officer
was
investigating
it.
Somebody
needs
to
get
wrote
a
ticket
when
they
find
it.
I
mean
for
real
y'all,
really
need
to
change
that
word.
The
police
can
do
that
if
they
come
out
this.
This
is
the
only
way
you're
going
to
stop
someone
you
know
by
hitting
their
pocket.
That's
what
I
believe
you
know,
because
I've
asked
nicely
I've
even
asked
my
neighbors
I
said.
Please
don't
do
that.
You
know
my
health
can't
take
it.
N
AK
AK
Yeah
of
the
other,
the
other
problem
I'm.
Having
is
my
doctor,
told
me:
don't
pull
nothing
or
pick
nothing
up
over,
don't
reach
over
my
head.
You
know
10
pounds
so
yard
waste.
You
know
in
them,
cans,
I,
love
the
cans.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
All
the
kids,
but
I
can't
move
them.
Cans
and
y'all
have
contracted
yard
waste
out
and
they
don't
do
for
disabled
people
are
handicapped
people,
and
my
doctors
have
put
a
lot
of
limitations
on
because
of
my
health
I.
AK
A
F
Mayor
you're
correct,
of
course
we
do
that
for
household
waste
and
all
we
go
to
the
door
and
we
get
it
and
we
put
your
can
back,
but
we
do
not
do
it
for
yard
waste.
We
contract
out
yard
waste
two
M
waste
and
they
are
private
citizens,
private
business
and-
and
we
don't
do
that,
but
I
will
say
the
other
option
is
because
they
we
have
the
green
containers.
F
I
mean
whoever
is
doing
the
yard
for
her
could
just
put
it
on
the
curb
and
and
and
then
we'll
get
it
because
we're
we're
on
a
regular
schedule
now,
and
you
know
that
we're
going
to
get
it
on
right.
Whatever
your
day
is,
if
it's
Thursday,
we
get
it
on
Thursday
so
go
ahead,
and
when
they
do
your
yard
leave
the
container
out
by
the
curb
so
that
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
it.
AK
AK
But
mostly
my
recyclable
and
my
regular
trash
I
just
leave
it
out
there
because
I
have
a
fenced
in
yarn,
and
it's
on
that
side.
You
know
between
the
mailbox
and
the
fence,
which
is
on
the
right-of-way,
yes,
and
that
just
stays
there
in
in
the
inmates
are
real
nice
about.
You
know
putting
it
pulling
it
out,
you
know
and
putting
it
back
on
the
property
and
closing
the
lid.
A
AK
AK
A
AK
H
Thank
you
so
much
Tom
Alexis
Dave
was
coming
at
my
request,
I'm
on
the
board
of
Columbus,
State
and
I
mentioned
to
her.
You
know,
there's
so
many
students
out
there,
various
occupations,
I
said
and
I
spoke
with
a
city
manager,
there's
someone
that
might
be
interested
in
finance.
Someone
might
be
interested
in
so
many
different
things,
I.T
that
we
could
have
them
come
and
just
look
at
our
operation
learn
ask
questions,
and
so
that's
what
she
was
coming
to
formally.
H
So
let
me
just
read
what
she
has
here:
okay
and
and
I
asked
her
to
come
and
she
was
taught
me
says:
Columbus
said
you
would
like
to
invite
any
City
officials
government
employees
serve
as
mentors
to
Columbus
State
students.
This
is
an
opportunity
that
will
help
students
to
grow
in
their
prospective
career
Fields.
So
I
had
mentioned
about
three
months
ago
to
in
hospital
city
manager
to
arrange,
call
and
range
and
have
them
if
they
want
to
I.T.
H
F
H
A
All
right
and
I
think
we
had
Mr
Joseph
McNeil
here
representing
the
blind
veterans
talking
about
Transportation
issues
and
and
he
he
was
not
able
to
stick
around
and
then
miss
Teresa
El
Amin,
representing
Southern
anti-racism
Network
regarding
reparations
and
ending
prison
slave
labor
I,
don't
believe
she's
here
either
all
right,
well,
Mr,
city
manager
will
move
on
to
your
agenda.
Okay,.
F
Mr
Mayor
first
on
the
agenda,
is
to
add
an
additional
items
item
to
the
legislative
agenda
regarding
tax
allocation
law
Amendment
and
it
comes
from
councilor
crab
and
we're
basically
just
requesting
the
delegation
introduce
an
amendment
to
the
law
which
allows
voluntary
acquisition
of
property
within
a
tad
by
elected
officials
and
employees
of
a
political
subdivision,
but
prohibits
a
receipt
of
NH
funding
by
such
elected
officials
or
employees,
and
and
we're
asking
them
to
amend
the
law.
To
clarify
that
elected
officials.
May
conduct
business
with
entertainment
and
that
citizens
owning
a
business
property.
A
S
S
There's
one
aspect
that's
left
out
of
that
is
the
third
aspect
and
that
that's
a
an
emergency
number
where
the
children
can
call
if
they
need
help,
if
there's
any
kind
of
abuse
or
neglect
or
abandonment.
Anything
like
that
that
I
I
believe
that
there's
an
already
an
organization
in
the
state,
that's
working
on
that
and
it's
in
the
schools,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
but
these
children
that
are
part
of
out
there
need
to
know
where
and
who
they
can
call.
So
it
would
be
posting
a
number
as
well
sure.
F
S
A
good
person
to
talk
to
would
be
well.
You
can
talk
to
the
Methodist
Children's
Ministries,
but
also
Bobby
by
Micah's
Promise
by
the
star,
our
body
star
here
with
Monica's
promise,
I
think
she's
aware
of
a
lot
of
this
stuff,
but
yeah
it
just.
We
just
need
to
get
that
out
there
and
give
these
children
access
if
they
need
help.
They
know
where
to
go.
Yeah.
F
F
Business
and
Community
for
any
number
of
persons
in
a
group
home
on
various
streets
and
communities,
because
you
know
if
they
are
under
a
certain
radar,
they
don't
have
to
report
or
do
certain
things,
and
this
one
legislator
thinks
that
they
need
to
know
if
no
matter
how
what
the
number,
if
it's
below
the
six
or
five
that's
required,
they
still
need
to
report
it.
So
that
was
what
a
legislator
brought
to
my
attention
right,
that
they
think
they're
interested
in
so
just
so
you'll
know.
Thank
you
all
right.
A
A
A
A
F
You
know,
that's
the
thesis
building
that
we
just
Acquired
and
then
f
is
an
amendment
for
for
space
planning
and
programming
and
design
Professional
Services
for
the
city
and
that's
where
slam
collaborative
our
Architects
that
we're
using
for
the
government
center
will
work
with
us
on
the
sheriff
administration.
Building
the
thesis
building
and
phase
one
was
excuse
me
and
also
will
provide
professional
Design
Services
for
the
77
500
square.
F
Foot
Jesus
building
is
what
they
will
be
doing
and
G
is
annual
maintenance
support
for
the
jewelry
management,
software
H
as
axon
officer
safety,
seven
program
for
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
then
I
as
annual
license
maintenance
support
for
the
great
key
forensic
software
for
Police
Department.
Those
are
the
purchases
that
were
approved
and
I've
got
one
update
that
Rob
Landers
is
going
to
bring
to
us
and
it's
art,
commission
advisor
board
presentation.
F
AM
AM
We
have
a
extremely
talented
group
of
folks
here
locally,
you
know
with
CSU
students,
and
just
our
you
know,
at
our
boat,
Bartlett
Center
and
just
the
influences
that
we
have
within
within
this
community
I
think
is
something
that
we
can
definitely
create
a
platform
for
them
to
Showcase
their
talent
and
also
an
opportunity
to
increase
Economic
Development
within
within
the
city.
So
on
on
the
next
slide.
It
just
talks
about
what
would
this
look
like
right?
So
you
know
what,
if
right,
what
if
we
create
it
in
arts,
commission,
Advisory
Board?
AM
This
is
seen
in
other
cities,
Across
the
Nation
right.
You
know
this
isn't
something
that's
revolutionary,
but
this
is
something
that
is
a
has
been
a
created
established
strategy
for
multiple
municipalities,
and
so
what
this
would
look
like
is
that
you
know
we
would
create
a
Arts
commission
for
public
art,
specifically
as
it
relates
to
our
city-owned
property.
So
the
vision
of
it
would
be.
AM
So
some
of
the
goals
of
this
Advisory
board
that
we
would
establish
would
be
to
commission
new
artwork
each
year
celebrating
the
communities,
cultural
diversity
using
public
art
on
our
facilities
to
promote
collaboration
with
support
programs
for
tourism,
create
policies
regarding
the
solicitation,
implementation
and
maintenance
of
public
art,
establish
and
maintain
Partnerships
with
other
City
departments
and
local
businesses
enhance
the
visibility
and
statue
of
Columbus
and
local
Regional
national
International
Arenas.
So
I
can
go
on
and
on
of
what
this
these
goals
could
could
do
for
us
here
locally
and
we've
talked
about.
AM
You
know,
we've
already
put
an
ordinance
in
place
in
2020
that
allows
you
know
citizens
to
come
to
us
with
potential
projects
that
we
could
take
a
look
at
and
maybe
implement.
But
what
this
would
be
is
US
creating
this
as
strategy
internally
as
a
city,
and
you
know,
for
example,
using
the
Civic
Center
and
if
we
wanted
to
put
a
mural
or
something
outside
or
some
statues
or
any
kind
of
public
art
within
our
facility,
the
commission
would
put
out
an
RFP
and
they
would
actually
take
in
the
sales
proposals
from
artists.
AM
The
20
to
30k
would
be
a
good
starting
point
that
we
would
earmark
in
our
general
budget
for
this
art
project.
Now
you
have
larger
cities
that
their
budget
is
up
to.
You
know
50
to
100K
in
Swanee.
They
just
sent
out
a
newsletter
to
all
of
the
citizens
that
they've
been
working
on
a
fundraiser
to
raise
1.5
million
dollars
for
public
art
and
they've
already
have
achieved
the
550
000
goal,
and
so
they
wanted
to
pick
that
fundraising
efforts
back
up
because
it
slowed
down
during
covet.
AM
So
that's
1.5
million
dollars
that
they're
allocating
to
the
city
or
throughout
the
city
at
its
different
different
fire
stations,
police
stations
and
also
within
its
City
Hall.
So
again,
if
we
could
earmark
20
to
30k
every
year,
that
would
that
would
equate
to
roughly
two
to
three
projects
on
an
annual
basis
that
we
will
be
putting
rfps
out
for
to
receive
those
quotes
back
from
artists.
AM
So
if
you
kind
of
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
pictures
again,
these
are
just
you
know:
public
works
of
art
throughout
other
cities.
You
know
it.
You
know
we're
getting
a
lot
of
new
buses
coming
in
through
Metra.
How
cool
would
it
be
if
we
had
two
or
three
of
them
dedicated
for
public?
Now
it
becomes
public
moving
art.
We
see
a
bridge,
we
see
some
setup
at
some
bus
locations.
I
went
to
the
University
of
Kansas.
AM
If
you
didn't
know
so
they
do
a
hearts
of
they
do
a
hearts
of
Kansas
tour
and
so
basically
around
the
entire
city.
They
have
a
heart.
That's
put
up
and
different
artists
can
put
in
an
RFP
to
have
access
to
that
one
particular
heart,
and
that
artist
is
able
to
use
their
their
creativity,
their
style
of
artwork.
AM
It
could
be
structural,
it
could
be
lighting,
it
could
be
Mosaic,
it
could
be
oil
painting
and-
and
it
becomes
like
a
theme
right,
and
so
that's
a
friend
of
mine,
that
posts
on
his
social
media,
his
tour
of
Hearts.
So,
as
you
all
know,
the
Jayhawks
were
the
national
champions
last
year
in
basketball,
I'll
just
you
know,
throw
that
out
there,
but
that
was
an
artist
that
did
their
rendering
of
a
national
championship.
AM
AM
AM
Welcome
to
you,
know,
El
Paso,
that's
a
potential
project
that
we
could
have
solicited
for
when
people
come
into
Columbus.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
that
specifically,
but
it
could
that's
just
an
example
of
something
that
we
can
do
when
people
come
into
Columbus,
they
see
that
and
it
and
it
shows
from
fire
hydrants
utility
boxes,
Bridge,
underpass,
fountains,
metro
stops
and
buses.
AM
You
know
the
the
the
the
opportunity
for
us
to
do
this
within
our
spaces
that
we
already
own
and
that
we're
already
maintaining
it's
kind
of
like
it's
up
to
us
in
our
creativity.
So
I've
had
a
chance
to
discuss
this
potential
project
with
other
members
in
our
community.
I've
had
a
chance
to
sit
down
with
the
McKnight
family,
CSU
dragonfly
trails
and
they
love
it.
AM
You
know
the
the
McKnight
family,
like
I,
said
they've
all
taken
a
look
at
this
project
and
they
definitely
think
it
will
put
us
in
the
right
path
of
kind
of
creating
that
public
private
relationship
as
it
relates
to
to
Art
I
know
it's
been
a
topic
of
discussion
and
debate
over
the
last.
You
know
three
to
four
years.
This
is
a
major
step
in
the
right
direction,
to
kind
of
create
a
solution
to
to
to
that
to
what
the
community
is
looking
for.
F
C
C
I
feel
like
he's
needed,
you
know,
I'm
learning
I've
been
I've,
I
was
born
in
Columbus
and
I've
learned
more
about
Columbus
with
the
within
the
last.
You
know
two
years
and
and
really
it
has
been
the
work
that
you
know
me
and
our
Landers
have
been
doing
with
Juneteenth
and
just
learning
from
Sharika
day
with
you
know
the
art
and
Becca,
and
just
all
of
them
it's
it's
so
much
history.
AM
Yeah
I
think
the
next
steps
are
definitely
taking
a
look
at
the
budget.
You
know,
there's
a
you
know
and
again,
I've
I've,
just
these
are
just
high
level
bullet
details
right
like
if
we
were
to
advance
this
project.
There
would
be
a
much
details
of
more
intricate
strategy.
Right
like
there
would
be
a
to
z,
the
cool
thing
about
it
is
we
don't
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel,
because
this
is
already
done
and
and
like
I
said,
multiple
cities
across
you
know
the
United
States.
AM
You
know
those
that
are
way
significantly
smaller
than
ours
as
well.
So
the
next
steps
would
be
earmarking.
You
know
due
to
General
budget
of
what
is
a
realistic
number
like
a
you
know,
20
000
you
could
do.
We
could
do
three
to
five
small
projects
throughout
the
city
right
just
as
a
so
we're
not
biting
off
the
morning.
We
can
chew
and
we
kind
of
baby
step
into
this,
this
partnership,
but
this
Advisory
Board
would,
in
my
my
recommendations,
be
best
under
the
city
manager.
AM
AM
This
is
one
where
again
I've
taken
this
presentation
to
multiple
people
throughout
the
community,
just
to
get
their
feedback
and
once
I
finish
the
project
they're
like
Rob,
where
do
I
sign
up
to
be
on
this
board,
so
you
know
I,
definitely,
don't
think
we're
going
to
have
any
issues
of
people
that
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
project,
but
for
the
next
steps
would
be
kind
of
looking
at.
What's
a
realistic
number
for
us
to
be
able
to
budget
and
allocate
for
it
and
then
how
would
we
go
about?
AM
C
AM
So
the
cool
part
about
that
is
that's
where
the
cold
and
the
the
public
and
private
partnership
will
come
in
because
again,
we
don't
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel
on
this.
What
other
cities
do
and
they
made
a
really
good
recommendation
of
the
maintenance
right
people
really
don't
understand
how
much
it
costs
that
like
say
we
put
in
a
mural
we
put
in
a
sculpture
somewhere.
AM
You
still
have
to
maintain
that
you
know
five
years,
ten
years
from
now,
so
just
talking
to
other
peers,
one
of
the
recommendations
that
they
have
is
within
this
Advisory
Board
and
within
this
project
they
actually
create.
Where
you
know,
individuals
or
citizens
can
contribute
to
the
project.
However,
their
contribution
is
specifically
goes
towards
the
maintenance
that
way.
There's
no
well
hey,
I
donated
ten
thousand
dollars.
This
is
the
artist
I
want
to
use,
and
this
is
where
I
want
it
located.
F
AM
AD
AD
Yes,
director
Lynn
Rob.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
presentation.
I'm
really
excited
about
it.
I
wanted
to
mention
when
Isaiah
and
Judy
both
talked
about
you
know,
art
Isaiah
has
been
a
big
art
component
and
then
Judy
came
up
with
you
know.
There's
really
no
signs
in
in
Columbus
everybody's
light
turned
on
because
we
started
realizing
things
and
I
just
wanted
to
share.
You
showed
the
one
about
the
hearts.
AD
I
went
to
Puerto
Rico
last
year,
the
year
before
I
went
to
Puerto
Rico,
and
it
was
after
you
know,
the
devastating,
and
what
that
one
of
the
cities
with
the
community
did.
There
was
a
wall,
a
whole
wall,
just
like
the
wall
on
talboton
road.
It
was
a
big
wall
like
that
and
what
they
did.
They
had
Local
High
School
artists
and
college
artists
come
and
draw
their
imagination
or
their
thought
of
a
butterfly.
AD
AD
Even
more
Orlando
has
the
same
thing
on
their
diversity
form.
They
have
diff
from
the
community
of
diversity.
They
have.
They
have
history
from
all
different
cultures.
So
when
you
walk
in
there,
you
feel
like
you're
in
a
mountain
Melting
Pot,
so
I'm
really
excited
I
would
ask
that
I
heard.
You
say
that
this
Council
will
appoint.
AD
You
know
people
on
the
on
the
committee.
I
would
ask
that
we
don't
appoint
the
same
people
all
the
time,
because
we
have
really
lots
of
talented
people
in
Columbus,
but
they
don't
get
that
opportunity
and
I
say
that,
because
we
were
in
a
leadership
form
and
they
asked
me
to
be
a
keynote
speaker
and
I
said
no
I
said
get.
Why
not
CSU
college
student
and
let
them
be
the
keynote
speaker
and
after
that
happened.
The
young
man
came
up
to
me
and
said
you
know.
Thank
you.
AD
When
you
put
this
board
together,
but
I
think
it's
amazing
I
think
it's
it's
really
great
and
I
think
it's
something
we
do
need
in
our
community
and
love
to
see
some
of
that
art,
positive,
influential,
empowering
in
South
Columbus,
because
there's
so
much
negativity.
We
need
some
positive
stuff.
So,
thank
you.
Counselor.
Q
AM
AM
You
know
as
because
I
think
it's
very
important
that,
like
counselor
Whitson
just
mentioned
that
we
have
members
a
part
of
that
board.
That
may
not
be
on
another
board
that
we
already
have
in
the
city
right.
So
that
way
we
kind
of
get
a
diversity
in
in
hearing
more
from
different
backgrounds
within
the
community.
Okay,.
Q
AM
Q
AM
Honestly,
that's
where
the
the
committee
comes
in
right.
The
committee
would
make
those
recommendations.
So
if
they
say
hey
year,
one
we
have
twenty
thousand
dollars
allocated
here
are
the
locations
that
we
as
a
committee
have
agreed
to,
but
they
the
committee
still
has
to
present
to
council
for
final
approval.
AM
Q
AM
Okay,
yeah
I
thought,
like
you
know
we
have.
You
know
this
would
be
a
really
kind
of
cool
rehab
project
for
like
our
fountains,
you
know
and
put
the
fountains
out
there
for
and
because,
if
you
look
at
the
fountains
and
you
look
at
how
talented
artists
are,
you
could
literally
have
one
Fountain
where
it's
acrylic,
one
Fountain,
where
it's
Mosaic,
one
Fountain,
where
it
is
graffiti,
one
Fountain
where
it's
light.
AM
S
S
You
know,
historically,
of
those
areas,
one
that
comes
to
mind
is
Valparaiso
Chile
and
then
I
was
just
in
a
city
where
the
art
was
just
amazing
that
it
actually
encourages,
encourages
you
to
get
out
and
be
part
of
the
city
and
enjoy
the
character
of
the
city
and
creates
character.
You
don't
even
think
about
the
quote:
the
societal
dangers
and
things
like
that
out.
S
There
you're
more
involved
in
the
in
the
art,
and
it
creates
a
tremendous
atmosphere
where,
where
people
can
just
enjoy
and
and
one
that
comes
to
my
mind-
is
San
Miguel
de
Allende
in
in
Mexico
is
just
last
year.
I
didn't
even
realize
this,
but
it
was
one
of
the
safest
city
is
ranked
on
the
safest
cities
in.
S
You
would
probably
question
that,
but
they
built
that
City
on
an
art
culture
and
just
getting
out
and
seeing
it
and
understanding
and
learn
the
stories
and
all
it's
just
very
intriguing,
and
you
know
it
makes
you
want
to
go
to
these
places.
You
know
it
sells
your
city,
it
creates
character.
I
would
like
to
encourage
you
to
look
into
what
they
do
down
in
the
Tampa
Bay
area
in
Saint
Pete
St
Pete
is
one
of
my
favorite
places.
I
agree,
I.
S
S
They
do
it,
but
there
is
so
much
unbelievable
art
just
that.
That's
just
it
makes
you
like
I
said
it
just
makes
you
want
to
get
out
and
experience
and
enjoy
and
be
a
part
of
a
community
I
mean
there's
so
many
tangible
benefits
from
from
this
type
of
stuff.
If
you
just
sit
down
and
think
about
it,
but
I
think
that
people
are
seeing
that,
and
maybe
we
can
build
our
city
around
those
kind
of
things
in
the
stores.
S
I've
often
thought
that
we
would
do
something
for
our
neighbors
at
Fort
Benning,
just
right
across
from
CSU
you've
got
where
the
Woodruff
Realty
used
to
be
you've
got
a
huge
wall
there.
That
could
be
a
welcome
for
think
about
the
thousands
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
that
come
through
185
to
Fort
Benning
every
day
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
say.
Thank
you.
Look
at
look
at
how
big
Fort
Benning
is.
You
know,
I
mean
things
like
that,
but.
S
Well,
there's
I
guess
the
thing
I'm
saying
is
that
these
stories
that
art
Tales
are
so
intriguing
that
it
really
you
know
it
means
a
lot.
People
come
to
your
community
to
be
a
part
of
that,
and
you
know
I
think
you're
on
to
something
that
could
be
great
here
in
Columbus.
You
know,
and
just
with
a
little
investment
in
developing
the
character
of
of
our
community.
AA
Okay,
this
one
more
legal,
Point
mayor
a
lot
of
these
cities
that
we've
looked
at
in
the
Civic
Center
directors,
obviously
looked
at
a
bunch
of
them
too,
but
this
Council
passed
a
public
art
policy
back
in
2020..
So
whatever
you
do,
a
formal
committee
informal
give
them
a
budget
whatever
they've
got
to
follow
these
policies
that
you've
already
adopted
foreign.
A
Z
Z
Harper,
who
is
the
head
of
the
drama
department
at
Northside,
High
School
wrote
a
poem
about
Columbus
and
then
they
made
pictures.
One
of
them
is
still
on
the
wall
on
2nd
Avenue
and
38th
Street
that
somebody
had
taken
that
poem
and
drew
a
picture.
One
of
them
was
down
on
Sixth
Avenue
and
about
8th
Street,
and
there
was
a
third
one
that
I,
but
they
were
all
about
Columbus
and
they
were
Columbus
people
who
did
those
kinds
of
things.
Marquette
McKnight
was
one
of
the
people
who
was
instrumental
and
put
this
together.
Z
So
if
you
haven't
seen
those
I
wish
the
the
poem
was,
the
poem
was
put
up
on
the
side
of
the
parking
garage.
Wasn't
it
downtown
if
you
haven't
seen
that
I
would
encourage
you
to
to
look
them

about
five

AD
I
thought
we
were
going
to
have
an
update
today,
but
we
didn't
can
we
have
one
next
week
because
I
know
it's
open
and
there's
limited
funds
and
people
need
to
understand
what
comes
with
it
and
what
because
it
has
changed.
Yes,
the
criteria
is
a
little
and
we
need
to
bring
this
to
everybody's
attention.
Yeah.
