B
May
31st
columbus
city
council
meeting
it's
probably
going
to
be
a
little
lengthy
today,
because
we
haven't
met
in
three
weeks
and
there's
a
number
of
updates
and
articles
of
business
that
we're
going
to
have
to
take
take
care
of.
I
do
want
to
announce
that
council
garrett
is
joining
us
virtually,
so
his
votes
will
be
tallied
on
any
of
the
items
under
consideration.
B
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Let
us
pray
a
charge
to
keep.
We
have
a
god
to
glorify
a
never
dying
soul,
to
save
and
fit
it
for
the
sky
to
serve
this
present
age.
Our
calling
to
fulfill
o
made
all
our
power
engaged
to
do
our
masters.
Will
god
we
pray
now
that
your
spirit
will
guide
us
to
be
able
to
maintain
the
charge
in
which
you
have
given
us
to
serve
you
by
serving
your
people?
C
God,
we
ask
now
for
wisdom,
insight
and
strategy.
As
those
who
you
have
elevated
to
lead
your
people
in
this
political
arena
in
governmental
arena
that
you
will
give
them
wisdom
guard
their
hearts
their
minds
and
their
actions
be
with
us
this
day
and
the
rest
of
our
days
into
the
strong
but
sweet
name
of
jesus.
We
do
pray
and
we
all
said,
amen,
amen.
B
Thank
you
pastor.
We
appreciate
you
and
thank
you
for
what
you
do
within
our
community
as
well.
Yes,
grateful.
Thank
you
a
couple
of
very
quick
little
announcements,
one
of
course
yesterday
was
memorial
day
and
I
hope
all
of
you
had
an
opportunity
to
enjoy
the
long
weekend
and
we
certainly
wanted
to
remember
the
men
and
women
in
uniform
that
have
purchased
the
freedoms
that
we
all
enjoy.
B
And,
of
course,
as
we
mentioned,
we
have
a
lot
of
gold
star
families
that
live
here
in
columbus
because
of
fort
benning
and
in
many
ways
they
pay
that
price
every
day
due
to
the
loss
of
their
soldier.
I
also
wanted
to
congratulate
councillor
tucker
and
councilor
huff
and
councillor
crabb
and
councillor
barnes
on
being
reelected.
B
They
will
be
tom
thomas.
I
looked
right
at
you
and
said
tucker
I
apologize
counselor
thomas.
How
could
I
forget
you're
way
down
there?
That's
fine,
but
we
do
want
to
congratulate
all
of
them
on
their
reelection
to
city
council,
we're
delighted
that
they'll
be
able
to
continue
their
their
work,
and
we
also
we
haven't
met
in
a
while
and
and
our
hearts
and
prayers
continue
to
be
with
the
families
in
texas.
B
It's
just
a
reminder
that
that
horrific
acts
can
occur
at
any
time
anywhere
and
we
have
to
be
vigilant,
and
we
we
have.
I've
actually
been
a
con
conversation
with
some
of
the
members
of
council
and
and
our
law
enforcement
in
emergency
management,
and
we
are
going
to
be
putting
together
a
small
exercise
to
just
to
make
sure
we
are
very
prepared
and
our
law
enforcement
folks
are
on
top
of
things.
B
B
Thank
you
david.
We
might
have
been
ending
the
meeting
before
we
did
that,
but
also
a
couple
other
quick
things
I
wanted
to
make
sure
you
knew
of
the
passing
of
former
mayor
bob
heydrich.
B
The
his
services
will
be
held
later
later
this
week.
Sorry!
Well,
that's
that's!
That's
all
of
the
comments
that
I
was
going
to
bring
to
this
morning.
We
will
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes,
all
right,
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
the
minutes
from
may
10th.
B
Is
there
any
edits
or
any
questions
or
concerns
about
them?
Hearing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
post,
all
right
the
minutes
are
are
approved
all
right.
First
up
we've
got
elizabeth
barfield,
our
one
of
our
auditors
who's
here
to
present
an
audit
that
you
should
have
at
your
table
on
the
transitional
audit
of
the
police
department.
F
Good
morning,
I
am
ready
to
talk
about
the
columbus
police
department's
internal
audit
that
was
just
completed
back
in
november
of
2020.
There
was
a
change
in
the
command
staff
chief,
richard
warren,
who
had
been
with
cpd
for
49
years,
and
the
chief
of
police
for
16
of
those
years
retired
and
chief
freddie
blackman
took
over.
He
has
been
with
cpd
for
36
years
in
january
of
2021.
F
I
had
an
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
chief
blackman
and
go
through
an
entrance
conference
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
the
audit
was
going
to
entail,
how
it
was
going
to
be
processed,
and
I
also
asked
him
if
there
were
any
things
that
he
wanted
to
take
special
note
of
anything
that
he
had
concerns
about.
I
would
look
at
those
as
well.
F
F
Just
to
talk
a
few
minutes.
One
of
the
big
questions
that
I
repeatedly
got
throughout
this
audit
is
elizabeth.
We
had
a
transition
audit
that
was
approved.
This
is
supposed
to
be
a
transition,
audit
and
you're
doing
an
awful
lot
of
work.
Well,
that's
absolutely
correct.
In
order
to
do
a
transition
audit,
you
have
got
to
have
a
full
scope
audit
in
which
to
base
a
transition.
Audit
on
cpd
had
never
had
an
audit,
so
it
was
very
appropriate
that
we
needed
to
do
a
full
scope
audit
on
this
organization.
F
F
F
This
report
is
a
snapshot
of
where
the
columbus
police
department
stands
at
a
certain
point
in
time.
A
manager
can
go
in
and
see
a
piece
of
data
or
a
statistic
and
say
wow.
You
know
I
think
we
might
need
to
work
on
that
and
they
can
move
forward
from
there.
So
hopefully,
this
document
will
serve
that
purpose.
Moving
forward.
F
The
presentation
today
is
certainly
not
going
to
cover
all
the
aspects
of
the
audit.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
a
couple
of
things
that
we
are
all
very
aware
of,
but
but
I
feel
that
they
do
need
to
be
acknowledged
in
today's
presentation
and
then
there
are
going
to
be
a
few
items
that
I'm
simply
going
to
highlight
to
bring
to
your
attention.
F
F
Okay,
one
of
the
first
things
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
one
of
those
issues
that
we're
simply
acknowledging,
and
that
is
that
of
staffing.
We
all
have
been
hearing
about
the
staffing
problem
that
cpd
is
under
right
now,
and
so
I
wanted
to
just
acknowledge
that
and
go
slightly
deeper
on
it.
F
This
table
here
shows
you
who
is
actually
departing
the
police
department
in
2021
90
of
the
people
that
left
the
police
department
were
officers
corporals
and
sergeants.
These
are
our
front
line
people.
These
are
the
people
that
are
on
the
streets.
These
are
the
people
that
are
actually
investigating
the
crimes
that
are
going
on
within
our
community.
F
You've
heard
the
term
police
squad.
That
is
a
very
appropriate
term
used
at
the
police
department.
It
is
full
of
squads.
Each
squad
is
led
by
a
sergeant
and
his
officers
and
corporals.
When
you
start
losing
officers
and
corporals,
it
puts
a
tremendous
strain
on
those
sergeants
the
sergeants
are.
There
is
very
much
like
a
coach,
he
is
he
or
she
is
constantly
going
around
touching
base
with
the
officers
and
corporals
in
the
field,
giving
guidance,
support,
mentoring,
delegating
and
decision
making.
F
F
F
Just
to
talk
about
staffing
a
little
bit
more.
As
I
was
doing
the
audit
I
kept
hearing
the
phrase
recruitment's,
not
a
problem.
It's
retainment
recruitment's,
not
a
problem,
it's
retainment,
so
I
thought
well,
let's
take
a
look
at
that
and
find
out.
So
I
looked
at
the
number
of
applications
received
for
employment
at
cpd.
F
Recruiting
at
cpd,
you
may
think
is
much
like
recruiting
elsewhere.
You
have
your
interviews,
you
have
your
background
checks.
I
know
any
of
us
that
have
tried
to
find
a
job
have
gone
through
that
same
process,
but
at
cpd
when
it
comes
to
hiring
a
police
officer,
the
recruiting
process
is
deep.
It
is
comprehensive.
F
F
F
Ccg
right
now
is
undergoing
a
payroll
study.
I
have
absolutely
no
knowledge
of
that
payroll
study.
I
don't
know
what
data
has
been
looked
at.
I
don't
know
how
I
don't
know
anything
about
the
payroll
study
being
a
ccg
employee.
I
have
participated
in
it
and
answered
questionnaires,
but
that's
about
the
knowledge.
The
extent
of
my
knowledge
on
it
in
talking
with
police
officers,
they
were
telling
me
we've
got
a
problem
with
pay
levels,
they're
not
paying
us
what
they
should
be
paying
us.
F
We've
got
a
problem
with
benefits:
they're
not
comparable
to
other
law
enforcement
agencies.
They
also
mentioned
pay
reform
and
pay
compression,
and
that
is
what
I
looked
at
today.
I
felt
like
the
pay
study
may
be
addressing
pay
levels
and
benefits.
So
that
was
not
something
that
I
addressed.
F
F
F
Let's
just
have
a
quick
reminder
about
what
pay
compression
is,
I
know
all
of
you
may
know,
but
but
then
again
let
me
just
give
you
a
reminder.
Pay
compression.
Is
you
have
a
lower
ranking
officer
here?
You
have
a
higher
ranking
officer
here
and
there
is
a
difference
in
the
salary
levels
which
is
to
be
expected.
You
would
expect
someone
of
a
higher
pay
grade
with
more
experience,
to
make
more.
F
F
When
I
looked
at
the
data,
what
I
saw
was
that
was
not
quite
accurate.
We've
got
payroll
compression,
but
what
we're
seeing
now
is
your
lower
ranking
officers.
Salaries
are
exceeding
the
higher
ranking
officers,
salary
levels.
Okay,
now
there's
just
not
one
or
two
examples
of
that.
That
is
pervasive.
F
F
F
The
one
thing
that
I
walked
away
from
this
particular
piece
of
the
audit
was
that
there
is
not
one
solution
that
is
going
to
solve
the
issues
it
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
probably
painful
work
in
order
to
resolve
these
issues.
Now
again,
let's
circle
back
to
morale.
This
is
a
very
tangible
issue.
When
we
start
talking
about
morale.
F
Okay,
let's
move
on
to
some
items
that
just
need
to
be
highlighted
in
bureau
of
support
services.
We
have
a
unit
called
property
and
evidence
what
that
unit
does
is
it
receives
firearms
weapons,
abandoned
and
unclaimed
property,
narcotics,
drugs
and
other
evidence
from
our
police
officers
on
the
streets,
as
well
as
any
of
our
investigators
or
detectives
that
are
collecting
information
evidence
from
pending
cases?
F
F
There
is
a
rotation
there
of
groceries
coming
in
and
groceries
going
out.
That
is
exactly
what
happens
in
the
property
and
evidence
area.
There
is
constantly
evidence
coming
in.
Unfortunately,
the
level
of
items
going
out
is
not
what
it
should
be.
If
you
look
at
these
pictures,
this
is
certainly
not
an
all-encompassing
view
of
property
and
evidence.
It's
just
a
snapshot,
a
few
snapshots
and
what
you
see
here
are
boxes,
boxes
and
boxes.
F
F
F
F
Okay,
we've
got
some
administrative
and
process
changes.
We've
got
a
lot
of
processes
that
have
been
in
place
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
they
work,
but
I
think
it's
time
for
an
update.
You've
got
property
and
evidence
special
operations
and
death
services.
All
of
these
areas
handle
financial
transactions
or
they
are
handling
currency.
F
Right
now
you
have
got
areas
in
cpd
that
are
physically
storing
currency
in
their
offices.
We
are
not
talking
about
general
fund
currency,
we're
not
talking
about
general
fund,
they
are
storing
currency
in
the
office.
F
F
F
So
the
reason
that
I'm
bringing
it
up
today
is
because
ccg
has
got
a
policy
in
place
very
rightfully
so
that
we
just
don't
open
bank
accounts
because
we
want
to
we've.
We've
got
to
keep
control
of
the
bank
accounts
that
are
operating
within
the
city,
but
should
they
choose
to
update
these
processes?
F
F
We
may
be
requesting
some
additional
bank
accounts,
and
one
thing
that
I
have
not
touched
on
yet
is
the
utilization
of
our
hardware
and
software
ccg
is
doing
an
amazing
job,
keeping
us
updated
with
our
computer
hardware
and
our
software,
but
unfortunately
we're
not
utilizing
it
ccg,
and
I
know
I'm
talking
about
cpd
they're
all
involved
has
a
love
affair
with
making
copies
we
love
to
make
copies.
We
like
to
file
copies,
we
like
to
store
copies.
Then
we
like
to
enter
office
copies.
F
We've
got
to
start
weaning
ourselves
away
from
that
process
and
utilizing
the
hardware
and
software
that
we
have.
We
need
to
start
scanning
documents,
we
need
to
email
documents
and
we
need
to
electronically
store
documents
that
is
going
to
be
beneficial
for
the
city
in
terms
of
paying
for
printer
paper
copy
or
paper
toner,
as
well
as
the
physical
storage
of
all
of
these
documents.
F
That
concludes
the
presentation
today
for
the
police
department.
I
do
have
two
additional
things
that
I'd
like
to
say
number
one.
It
has
been
an
absolute
pleasure
working
with
the
police
officers
at
the
police
department.
They
have
been
so
accommodating
so
patient
with
all
of
my
questions
they
have
readily.
Given
me
any
information
that
I
asked
for
it
has
been
a
real
nice
working
relationship.
F
F
F
If
anyone
has
any
interest
in
finding
out
more
about
the
police
department,
please
I
urge
you
to
get
involved
in
the
citizens
law
enforcement
academy.
It
is
fantastic,
I
think
you
will
have
a
lot
of
fun
and
I
think
you
will
walk
away
having
a
different
perspective
of
law
enforcement
in
those
operations.
G
Miss
elizabeth,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation
and
I
tend
to
agree
with
you
about
the
right
along.
I
did
it
many
many
many
years
ago
and
I
had
that
same
experience
that
you
did
so.
Thank
you
because
that's
a
testimony.
It
is
of
our
community
how
it
stands.
I
had
a
question,
though,
in
the
storing
of
of
evidence
and
guns,
and
things
like
that,
did
you
make
any
any
suggestions
in
what
can
be
done,
because
I
have
one
that
I
just
thought
of
listening
to
you
is
we
have
a
cadet
program?
F
G
F
G
F
F
Some
of
this
money
actually
goes
back
to
the
prop
the
owner
of
the
property.
So
it's
not
in
a
position
that
it
moves
to
the
general
fund.
At
this
point,.
G
But
I
still
have
a
concern,
I
think,
those
dollars
and
cents.
You
know
those
dollars,
even
though
it's
not
going
to
the
general
fund.
I
think
that
communication
needs
to
be
going
with
our
finance
department
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
accountability
because,
like
you
said,
I
hate
for
something
to
happen.
Sure
people
get
blamed
for
things
that
you
know
probably
wasn't
their
intent.
G
Happen,
I
would
think
any
kind
of
funding
any
kind
of
dollars
and
cents
regardless
if
it's
going
to
general
fund
or
not
going
to
general
fund.
I
think
that
all
should
go
through
our.
You
know
finance
department,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
something
goes
wrong,
yes,
the
first
person
they're
going
to
go
to
is
our
finance,
our
mayor
and
our
city
manager,
and,
if
they're
not
aware
of
it,
how
are
they
supposed
to
justified
or
obey
accountable
for
something?
May.
F
I
dive
into
this
just
a
little
deeper.
Yes,
please,
if
you
want
something
protected
and
secured,
you
need
to
talk
to
the
police
officers
because
believe
me,
they
are
protecting
and
they
are
securing
everything
to
the
best
of
their
abilities.
So
please
do
not
misunderstand
me:
I
audited
all
of
the
currency
that
was
in
the
offices
it
was
all
accounted
for,
it
was
all
documented
and
it
is
highly
secured,
but
your
concerns
are
absolutely
right.
It
needs
to
be
in
the
bank.
Another
thing
that
cpd
is
doing,
which
is
impressive
on
a
quarterly
basis.
F
The
chief
of
police,
the
bureau
chief
and
anyone
involved
in
the
handling
of
that
currency
undergoes
an
audit
every
single
quarter.
The
police
chief
himself
is
going
in
and
auditing
that.
So
I
do
not
want
you
to
misunderstand
and
think
that
this
is
not
being
handled
appropriately
and
seriously.
It
definitely
is
my
issue,
is
it
needs
to
get
in
the
bank?
F
B
Well-
and
I
think
that
money's
evidence-
and
it
has
so
it's
it's
handled
a
little
bit
differently,
but
I
understand
your
concern
and
I
think
elizabeth
pointed
out
some
ways
that
it
could
be
even
tightened
a
little
bit
more
chief
did
while
you're,
I
know
you're
out
there.
You
want
to
come
up
and
you
may
have
some
comments.
You.
G
I
I
just
you
know
when,
when
you
make
an
audit
report-
and
you
make
it
like
that,
if
you
don't
add
the
rest
of
the
details
to
it
like
the
questions,
I'm
asking
the
citizens
are
watching
this,
you
know
and
they
form
their
own
perspective,
their
own
idea.
So
I'm
not
questioning
the
credibility
of
the
police
department
or
anything
like
that.
I'm
just
answering
questions
that
I
would
think
a
citizen
will
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
me
and
say
to
me
mimi.
Did
you
all
know
that?
Why
don't
you
have
accountability?
G
You
know.
So
those
are
the
reasons.
I'm
asking
the
questions,
not
that
I
don't
trust
any
police
department
or
anything,
but
I've
been
here
long
enough
to
know
that
when
something
goes
wrong,
the
citizens
immediately,
you
know
contact
us,
the
city
manager,
the
mayor
and
we
immediately
run
to
the
finance
department,
and
so
that's
why
I
just
wanted
it
all
to
be
cleared
because
it
was
mentioned
and
when
you
mention
it,
we
need
to
know
the
security
portions
of
it
go
ahead.
Chief,
I'm.
G
I
I
As
was
stated,
we
have
accountability
systems
in
place
to
manage
and
control
the
currency
that
we
have
in
our
various
offices
and,
as
elizabeth
stated,
we
do
a
quarterly
audit
in
each
area
to
ensure
that
to
the
penny,
each
each
area
has
the
amount
of
money
that
they're
supposed
to
have.
But
the
reason
the
currency
is
present
is
because
of
the
police
work
that
that
takes
place
is
different
than
other
areas
within
city
government,
and
so
we
do
various
operations
where
we
have
to
rely
on
currency.
I
We
have
to
have
immediate
access
to
cash,
and
so
we
do
have
a
certain
amount
that
we
do
keep
on
hand
and
that's
consistent
with
some
of
the
other
law
enforcement
agencies
we've
communicated
with
and
as
I
stated,
we
do
have
accountability
for
that.
So
it's
not
like
someone
just
has
an
opportunity
to
have
cash,
and
it's
not
accounted
for
so
it's
definitely
accounted
for
is
is
consistent
with
our
policies
and
procedures
and
we
even
conduct
audits
on
our
property
and
evidence
section.
The
asset
forfeiture
money
is
logged
into
the
evidence.
I
Of
course,
as
case
court
cases
are
moved
along,
then
we
will
have
an
opportunity
for
evidence
to
move
along,
and
so
we
we
are
in
a
position
where
we
have
to
keep
evidence
on
hand
until
the
court
cases
are
resolved.
But
as
far
as
the
other
currency
that
the
money
has
already
been
awarded
to
the
police
department
through
asset
forfeitures,
then
we
utilize
that
funding
to
conduct
police
operations
and
that's
consistent
in
the
law
enforcement
world.
G
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
it
very
much
for
that
explanation.
Miss
elizabeth.
You
also
talked
about
utilizing
the
computers
in
that
sense,
and
I
tend
to
agree
with
you,
but
at
the
same
time
I
like
the
fact
of
it
being
like
scanned,
because
computers
can
get
viruses,
things
can
happen,
they
can
go
down.
I
I
like
computers,
but
I
also
like
to
keep
you
know
paper
hidden
or
now
I
have
a
little
scanner
scan
it
and
keep
it
because
you
never.
You
know
you
always
need
a
backup.
F
I
have
not
spoken
with
our
I.t
department,
but
from
what
I
understand,
all
of
our
information
is
backed
up
regularly,
maybe
nightly
so,
and
also
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
I
do
personally
and
I
think
some
people
at
the
police
department
do
as
well
is
if
they
have
something
particularly
sensitive,
they
may
back
it
up
on
a
thumb,
drive
or
a
hard
drive
themselves
with
any
situation.
You
are
absolutely
right.
There
are
risk.
It
is
just
like
a
couple
of
years
ago,
over
at
the
tower,
you
had
all
the
burst
water
pipes.
F
G
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
That's
all
the
questions
I
had
because
it
gave
me
a
little
red
flag
of
concern
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
was
educated
and
my
colleagues
were
educated
on
those
in
case
we
get
those
phone
calls
we're
ready
to
to
defend
it
and
be
able
to
speak
in
it
knowledgeably.
G
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
thorough
work.
I'm
very
pleased
that
you
even
did
a
ride
along.
I
mean.
G
Yeah
I
I
when
I
first
got
elected,
I
even
went
with
the
trash
collectors
and
that's
how
we
got
radios
in
there
because
I
realized
when
we
were
out
there,
hey
there's
a
need,
so
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
as
counselors
from
time
to
time,
I'm
back.
I
should
have,
did
it
more
often,
but
I
didn't,
but
I
think
we
do
need
to
do
those
right,
alongs
and
we
need
to,
and
we
talked
about
the
citizens
law
enforcement
academy.
G
Chief,
I
I
would
say
I've
been
just
making
a
suggestion
that
we
find
a
creative
way
of
using
them,
because
I
went
to
the
through
the
program
and
it
was
amazing.
I
mean
it
was
really
great,
but
then
I
never
used
any
of
the
skills
or
anything
that
I
learned
and
with
everything
going
out
there
I
don't
know,
maybe
they
can
be
part
of
the
community
policing.
G
I
don't
know-
and
I
know
there's
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
insurance
and
security,
but
I
think
we
need
to
kind
of
try
to
think
of
a
way
to
utilize
those
citizens
that
go
through
that
program.
So,
just
a
little
something
to
put
in
the
back
of
your
mind
as
you
create
new
programs
new
stuff
for
the
police
department,
to
see
how
we
can
utilize
those
individuals
a
little
bit
more.
I
So
when
someone
receives
information
that
may
not
necessarily
be
accurate,
someone
who
who
has
attended
the
academy
will
be
able
to
share
that
information
and
communicate
information.
That's
more
accurate
and
and
then
hopefully
more
encouraging
to
that
citizen
as
well.
Who
has
not
attended
to
want
to
attend
the
academy.
G
Chief,
can
you
come
back
later
when
your
next
class
is
and
and
bring
it
to
our
attention,
so
that
our
citizens
are
aware
that
the
academy
is
starting
up
again
and
how
they
can
sign
up
if
they're
interested
in
the
law
enforcement?
Yes,.
G
If
you
would,
please
come
back
and
share
it
with
us,
I
would
truly
appreciate
it
or
you
can
give
it
to
our
public
safety
chief
and
he
can
mention
it
to
the
community.
Whichever
way
you
like,
but
I
would
ask
that
you
come
each
time.
You
have
a
class
and
let
the
citizens
know
so,
if
they're
interested
in
participating,
they
can.
I
J
Yes,
city
manager,
do
you
think
we
can
get
something
to
talk
about
the
policy
and
procedure
for
the
disposing
of
evidence,
like
a
conversation,
only
reason
why
I
ask
because
I
feel
like
we
don't
open
pandora's
box
today
and
I
I
just
you
know
we
want
to
clear
any
type
of
possible
confusions
misunderstandings
or
whatever
so.
K
J
Chief
blackman,
but
bring
bring
back
whatever
the
policy
and
procedure
is
in
reference
to
disposing
evidence,
especially
when
it's
dealing
with
current
currency,
because
honestly
mimi
is
right.
It
is
a
conversation
and
we
all
know
if
you
watch
shows
like
the
wire
or
whatever,
and
it's
really
pushing
a
negative
narrative
about
law
enforcement
and
currency.
K
K
There.
There's
oversight,
there's
accountability
through
quarterly
audits,
as
he
said,
and
and
there's
a
chain
of
custody.
Even
the
finance
director
came
over
to
whisper
to
me
as
they
were
talking.
K
F
And
I
would
like
to
reinforce
exactly
what
the
city
manager
is
saying.
Please
do
not
take
away
from
this
that
I'm
saying
there
are
not
controls
in
place.
The
police
officers
are
doing
a
fantastic
job
with
the
processes
that
they've
been
working
with
for
the
last
number
of
years.
What
I'm
talking
about
are
financial
internal
controls.
J
J
F
J
And
also
miss
elizabeth,
so
you
said
this
was
the
first
audit
like
ever.
I
know
we
went
back
to
2008
and
you
pulled
some
data,
but
yes,
it's
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
history
of.
F
From
my
knowledge,
it
is
now
I've
been
here
just
over
five
years,
and
I
know
that
cpd
has
not
been
audited
and
I
do
not
believe
it's
been
audited
before.
J
K
Made
mayor,
you
know,
of
course,
transition
audits
happened
when
one
department
he
here
leaves,
as
you
know,
and
a
new
one
is
coming
in,
and
I
heard
elizabeth
say
it
again,
and
this
is
supposed
to
be
a
transition
audit,
and
but
we
want
to
ensure
that
there
is
a
a
a
good
handoff.
K
You
know
sometimes
department
heads.
If
you
did
not
have
a
transition
audit,
they
may
inherit
some
problems.
That
was
not
under
their
watch
and
then
it
becomes
their
problem
because
you.
K
You
didn't
have
a
transition
audit,
and
so
we
started
these
transition
audits.
Sometime
after
I
became
a
city
manager,
but
I
will
say
that
while
there
has
not
been
a
transition
audit,
because
the
previous
police
chief
had
been
there
a
while
there
was
an
assessment
of
cpd
form
from
an
outside
source,
you
remember
we
traveled
on
the
inner
city
visit
and
they
had
these
operational
assessment,
organizational
and
assessments
of
various
departments.
K
Well,
we
brought
in
a
private
source
that
we
paid
we
paid
and
they
did
a
study
of
the
police
department,
and
I
had
someone
send
it
to
me
in
recent
weeks,
and
so
I
wanted
you
to
know
that
there
has
been
an
internal
organization,
operational
assessment
of
the
police
department
and
it
came
back
with
some
recommendations.
K
It
was
in
fact,
while
theresa
tomlinson
was
mayor.
You
all
may
remember
that,
but
but
we're
going
to
the
mayor
is
going
to
introduce
we're
going
to
introduce
to
you
another
organizational
and
operational
assessment
in
just
a
few
minutes,
that's
above
and
beyond
the
internal
audit
that
you've
just
heard
about.
K
So
while
there's
not
been
an
audit,
it
has
not
gone
without
a
close
look
review,
a
close
study
in
the
past,
and
here
we
are
doing
it
again
and
when
we
talk
to
you
about
it
in
a
few
minutes,
we
paid
for
it
before
and
we've
got
some
private
citizens
who
have
stepped
forward
and
they
are
willing
to
pay
for
it.
This
time
and
it's
on
my
agenda
today,
mayor's
going
to
move
it
up
and
we're
going
to
share
that
with
you.
J
F
Piggyback
on
what
we're
saying
we
have
got,
I
want
you
to
know
that
the
police
department
is
nationally
accredited.
It
is
state
accredited
every
single
year.
They
have
to
jump
through
hoops.
They
are
literally
audited
by
these
agencies.
We
also
have
the
police
department
has
the
office
of
professional
standards,
which
is
regularly
conducting
audits
internally.
F
F
B
99.9
percent
of
the
time
these
audits
are
focused
on
things
that
could
improve
current
current
processes.
You
heard
ms
barfield
just
say
that
that
it
had
there's
some
things
that
have
been
done
a
certain
way
for
15
20
years.
That's
their
job
is
to
go
in
there
and
look
and
say
you
know
this
would
make
this
a
little
more
efficient
with
the
use
of
technology.
B
You
do
a
great
job
with
the
the
the
evidence
room,
but
but
you
know
what,
if
you
did
have
some
accounts
separate
from
the
general
fund,
it
might
help
you
all
keep
things
squared
away
inside
so
so
I
think
the
the
the
mistake
people
make
when
they
watch
these
is
they're
listening,
trying
to
find
a
gotcha
in
99
times
out
of
100,
there's
no
gotcha,
it's
just
it's
just
that
our
auditors
have
done
an
outstanding
job
of
telling
us
some
things.
We
could
do
to
become
even
more
efficient.
F
I
Only
thing
else
I
can
share
is
that,
of
course,
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
for
elizabeth
to
come
in
from
the
auditor's
office
to
look
at
our
department.
As
she
stated,
we
are
audited
from
our
national
accreditation
process,
as
well
as
our
state
certification
process
and
through
our
office
of
professional
standards.
I
B
Terrific
counselor
barnes.
M
M
F
M
I
I'm
out
in
their
community
a
lot
and-
and
I
speak
to
a
lot
of
police
officers
and
I
speak
to
a
lot
of
get
ready
to
say
civilians,
citizens
and
there's
an
awfully
supportive
relationship
between
our
citizens
and
the
police
officers.
M
Even
though
that
the
the
citizens
know
that
we
are
short-handed,
they
realize
it,
but
you
know
they're
extremely
supportive,
communicate
with
the
officers
out
on
the
street.
I
see
it
while
I'm
out
there,
and
so
I'm
really
glad
that
you
gave
a
lot
of
really
good
information.
Thank
you,
but
I'm
really
glad
that
you
brought
that
up.
M
This
is
an
issue
that
came
up
about
three
or
four
months
ago,
chief
or
something,
and
but
I
just
think
that
you
needed
to
verbalize
that
as
someone
who
went
into
an
organization-
and
you
also
spoke
spoke
about
the
ride-along-
I
think
that's
a
if
it
was
possible.
M
I
know
it
is
not
that
for
so
many
people
to
do
something
like
that
and
just
to
realize
all
that
police
officers
do
but
also
be
able
to
actually
go
in
various
areas
of
the
city,
the
whole
air,
this
whole
city
and
just
how
supportive
our
citizens
are
of
cpdg.
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
as
well,
and
I'm
clearly
glad
that
you
brought
that
up
in
your
conversation.
F
F
B
All
right
well,
thank
you.
Thank
you
liz.
We
appreciate
it
very
much.
Thank
you,
council,
barnes
and
chief.
You
might
want
to
stay
up
there,
we'll
move,
I'm
going
to
call
up
the
city
manager's
item
a
on
on
his
his
presentation
and
and
kind
of
deal
with
that.
B
If
we
could
just
some
quick
background
before
I
kind
of
let
the
chief
make
some
comments
and
then
turn
it
over
to
councils
for
their
consideration,
one
of
the
things
is
mayor
that
I
take
very
seriously
is
trying
to
communicate
with
as
many
different
organizations
and
groups
of
people
as
I
can.
B
I
we
have
a
clergy
commission
that
we
we
meet
with
and
we
talk
about
some
of
the
things
going
on
in
neighborhoods,
there's
a
small
group
of
folks
that
I'll
sit
and
have
coffee
with
and
we'll
talk
about
just
about
the
city
and
there's
also
a
group
of
of
executives
from
some
of
the
larger
companies
here
in
in
muscovy
county
that
I
meet
with,
and
we
we
talk
ab
talk
over
things
that
impact
them
and
that
impact
the
city
as
a
whole,
and
it's
a
it's
a
tremendous
tremendous
benefit.
B
So
we
had
we
talked
to
these
gentlemen
and,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
the
private
sector,
which
is
uncommonly
cooperative
cooperative
here
in
columbus,
I
mean
we
have.
We
have
folks
step
up
all
the
time
most
of
the
things
that
get
done
in
this
community.
You
can
find
somebody's
fingerprints
on
it
from
some
of
the
some
of
the
retired
or
current
executives
in
some
of
these
organizations,
so
they
stepped
forward
and
said.
Well,
let
us
let
us
fund
it,
because
it's
a
pretty
to
do
the
kind
of
comprehensive
study.
B
It's
a
it's
a
fairly
big
ticket
item,
and
so
they
have.
They
have
created
a
fund
that
that
that
will
be
utilized
to
pay
for
this.
This
study
and
and
betsy
covington
is
here
and
that
fund
will
be
administered
from
the
community
foundation
and
it
was
done
by
design
so
that
it
keeps
a
buffer
there
and
it
keeps
the
integrity
of
the
study
in
place,
but
we're
excited
about
it.
B
We're
excited
about
the
fact
that
it's
going
to
give
another
tool
another
another
resource
to
our
the
heads
of
our
law
enforcement
agencies
to
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
heard,
elizabeth
say,
the
job
that
our
law
enforcement
and
all
of
our
first
responders
do
is
just
incredible.
You
don't
understand
it's
kind
of
the
duck
on
the
water.
B
The
top
looks
smooth
and
it
just
gets
done,
but
underneath
the
water,
it's
paddling
like
crazy
and
that's
what
that's,
what
our
law
enforcement
and
our
first
responders
that
deal
with
every
day.
So,
chief,
if
you
don't
mind,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
ask
you
to
make
just
a
few
comments,
because
you
were
in
on
this
entire
process.
As
the
the
organization
was
selected
from
a
number
of
others,
it
was
not
the
city
contracting
with
us.
This
is
something
that
these
individuals
put
in
place.
So
right.
I
K
K
I
know
that
you
have
been
meeting
with
these
private
citizens
and
representing
some
private
business
in
this
community
alone
before
you
asked
me
to
come
in
and
listen
and
and
and
kind
of,
facilitate
bringing
it
forward
to
city
council
and-
and
then
I
I
want
to
thank
the
chief
because
he
had
been
there
along
with
you
and
I
I
wasn't
involved
at
that
time
and
and
along
with
the
sheriff
I
mean
it
was
the
mayor,
the
police
chief
and
the
sheriff
meeting
with
this
group,
and-
and
I
came
a
lot
later,
just
to
sit
with
them
and
and
listen
and
and
and
then
just
want
to
commend
public
safety.
K
As
you
were
talking
chief,
I
was
thinking
about
the
school
shooting
the
situation
in
texas
and
how
I've
heard
over
and
over
and
over
again
on
the
news
over
the
last
few
days,
how
it
took
law
enforcement
over
an
hour
to
enter
that
school
and-
and
so
you
know,
you
had
an
active
shooter
as
it
appears
and
and
and
it
made
me
it
reminded
me
of
what
we
ask
of
our
public
safety
officials.
K
H
K
With
that
said,
as
a
and
city
serve
was
in
2013,
that
was
the
last
operational
organizational
assessment.
You
remember,
we
went
to
baltimore
and
we
had
gone
to
mobile
and
they
had
city
serve
and
and
then
you
know,
we
brought
an
independent
group
here,
we
paid
for
it
the
city
and
they
went
into
the
police
department
and
they
did
this
assessment.
K
They
raised
private
dollars
and
you've
got
the
resolution
that
I'm
going
to
be
asking
you
to
vote
on
after
you
hear
from
the
the
successful
vendor,
but
they
raise
private
dollars
and
in
that
resolution
it
shows
a
hundred
and
eighty
nine
thousand
five
hundred
and
seven
dollars
that
they've
deposited
at
the
community
foundation
and
betsy
covenant
is
here
and
as
I
talk
to
that
group,
the
one
thing
they
said
is
that
in
all
of
our
work
we
have
never
had
something
like
this
funded
entirely
by
the
private
sector.
K
K
The
task
force
has
contributed
funding
to
the
community
foundation.
As
I
see
it,
and
we
will
ask
you
for
your
approval
for
that
participation,
and
so
with
that,
virtually
I'm
going
to
ask
the
staff
to
bring
in
we've
got
richard
smith
that
you
can
see
here
and
richard
is
going
to
have
just
a
couple
of
comments
and
then
he
will
bring
on
jensen
hughes.
This
is
not
the
richard
smith
that
you
know
that
we
know
that
shares
a
rules
committee
at
the
state
house
and
a
part
of
our
legislative
delegation.
N
N
What
we've
determined
is
that
there's
a
great
deal
of
interest
in
the
private
sector
to
provide
tools
through
an
assessment
that
will
be
helpful
to
the
city
and
to
the
chief
in
in
better
performing
at
every
aspect
in
every
level
of
the
police
department
we've
through
an
extensive
and
exhaustive
search.
We
determined
that
jensen
hughes
was
the
the
best
candidate
to
perform
this
assessment,
and
it's
very
important
to
us
that
we
recognize
this
is
not
an
audit.
N
This
is
an
assessment,
so
we're
looking
for
strengths
and
opportunities
for
improvement,
which
is
distinctly
different
from
the
traditional
audit
process.
We
we
have
what
we
believe
is
the
best
firm
there
on
the
line.
They'll
make
their
presentation
in
just
a
few
moments.
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
the
private
sector
is
very
much
behind
this.
We've
been
very
engaged.
N
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
to
mr
davis,
who
is
a
senior
vice
president
with
jensen
hughes.
He
has
several
of
his
key
key
associates
online,
who
will
be
engaged
in
this
this
assessment,
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
be
quiet
for
a
few
months,
a
few
moments
and
turn
this
over
to
mr
davis.
O
Thank
you
very
much.
Richard
really
truly
appreciate
him.
We've
appreciated
your
collaboration,
your
outreach
in
this
process.
Let
me
describe
very
briefly
what
we
plan
to
do
here
in
this
presentation,
recognizing
that
we
want
to
allow
more
time
for
questions
than
anything
else.
We'll
simply
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
who
we
are.
O
What
our
who
our
team
is,
what
we've
done
in
the
past
for
other
cities
and
then
also
give
you
a
announce,
a
view
of
how
it
is
that
we
would
actually
go
about
doing
this
work
for
you
and
what
that
would
mean,
and
then
certainly
we
want
to
open
up
the
floor
so
I'll
begin
by
giving
you
a
brief
overview
of
who
we
are
and
then
we'll
introduce
the
team
so
bob
if
you'll
advance
to
the
next
slide.
O
H
O
We
know
that
no
two
cities
are
alike
and
sydney
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
a
moment,
but
we
want
to
come
in
and
really
try
and
figure
out
a
way
that
we
can
help
cities
move
forward
so
that
whatever
it
is
where
they
think
they
can
do
improvements
that
they
have
a
road
map
to
be
able
to
do
that.
Some
of
the
work
that
we've
done
as
you'll
know
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
a
moment.
O
Myself
very
briefly,
and
then
I'll
ask
bob
and
sydney
they're,
the
other
two
people
who
have
joined
me
and
we'll
do
a
brief
review
of
who
else
will
join
in
the
project.
But
again
my
name
is
rob
davis.
I
lead
the
law
enforcement
consulting
group
for
this
firm.
I
spent
30
years
at
san
jose
pb
in
california.
It's
the
10th
largest
city
in
the
country
I
spent,
as
I
stated,
30
years
there,
but
the
last
seven
I
spent
as
chief.
O
O
They
as
I
was
retiring
in
california.
You
can
retire
rather
early
with
the
pension
systems
that
they
at
least
had
in
place.
When
I
was
there
and
was
immediately
asked
if
I
would
leave
this
group,
so
we've
been
doing
this
now
for
the
last
11
years
or
so,
and
I
will
outline
in
a
moment
some
of
the
other
cities
where
we've
been.
But
having
said
that,
let
me
turn
the
time
over
to
bob
boomer.
If
you
will,
he
would
be
our
on-site
project
manager.
Q
Thank
you
robin
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
bob
bomer.
I've
been
with
this
company
for
a
little
over
six
years,
now
doing
assessment,
work
from
small
departments,
large
departments
and
just
about
everything
in
between
I
started
out
at
the
chicago
police
department
left,
there
became
general
council
chief
of
staff
of
a
state
criminal
justice
planning
agency
that
covered
issues
all
the
way
from
crime
prevention
to
offender
reentry
and
everything
in
between
including
law
enforcement.
R
R
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
few
of
the
people
who
aren't
on
the
call
but
would
be
joining
us
would
be
mark
jeffrey
he's.
The
subject
matter
expert
spent
his
career
with
the
dea,
focusing
on
things
like
internal
affairs,
etc.
Chad,
mcginty
is
also
another
subject
matter
expert
who
will
be
joining
us.
He
was
one
of
the
top
leaders
for
the
ohio
state
patrol
very
well
versed
in
law
enforcement
issues,
and,
last
but
not
least,
we've
got
dr
alice
alex
weiss.
O
He
is
a
phd
spent
time
at
northwestern
for
several
years,
leading
their
policing
institute.
If
you
will,
but
also
has
done
staffing
analyses
for
agencies
large
and
small
across
the
country
for
many
years
and
also
has
done
racial
profiling
studies,
including
tracking
all
the
data
for
every
agency
in
the
entire
state
of
illinois,
looking
at
their
data
and
the
data
that
they
collect
when
they
make
car
stops
on
the
racial
demographics
of
the
drivers,
he's
been
the
one
that
has
done
that
analysis
or
had
been
doing
that
analysis
for
years.
O
I
just
want
to
highlight
very
briefly
some
of
the
places
where
we've
been
before
so
you'll
know
what
our
background
and
experience
is
some
of
the
larger
agencies
where
we've
done
pro
projects
have
been,
of
course,
louisville,
where
we
just
about
a
year
a
year
and
a
half
ago
finished
our
assessment
of
what
occurred.
O
We
did
a
top
to
bottom
assessment
of
the
agency
after
the
briana
taylor
tragedy
and
had
a
chance
to
you
know,
work
extensively
in
that
department
and
then
provide
a
written
report
to
that
city,
which
is
it's
a
public
report
it
can
be
had
online.
We
just
concluded
recently
the
a
study
that
we
did
of
the
minneapolis
police
department.
O
We
were
asked
by
the
city
and
the
police
department
to
come
in
and
take
a
look
at
exactly
what
they
did
in
those
first
seven
days
after
george
floyd
was
murdered
to
try
and
give
them
a
better
idea
of
what
they
could
be
doing
with
with
crowd,
control,
and
things
like
that.
So
we
did
the
assessment
in
minneapolis,
but
we've
been
in
baltimore,
seattle,
ferguson
and
also
in
maricopa
county
arizona,
which
is
in
phoenix
area
helping
with
the
department
of
justice's
consent
decree
process.
O
So
this
is
where
the
federal
government
has
sued.
If
you
will
the
agencies
and
have
come
to
an
agreement
for
how
they
will
make
improvements
and
then
under
the
direction
of
a
federal
judge,
they
they
strategize
on
how
they
will
then
move
forward
to
improve
the
department.
So
we've
been
helped
helping,
mostly
with
the
training
aspects,
how
they
design
training
for
those
efforts.
We
were
the
ones
that
did
the
assessment
of
the
virginia
beach
tragedy
where,
exactly
two
years
ago,
during
memorial
day
weekend,
there
was
a
massacre
at
the
city
hall.
O
O
Dr
alice
weiss
also
helped
us
on
that
one,
but
we've
also
been
in
smaller
cities
and
mid-sized
cities,
including
corona,
california,
fontana
california,
specifically
in
fontana,
we
were
helping
them,
take
a
look
at
how
they
were
staffing
and
also
how
they
could
do
a
better
job
of
recruiting
diverse
candidates
for
their
agency
in
la
mesa.
We
were
asked
to
step
in
and
do
an
after-action
report
of
a
major
riot.
O
Q
O
Boulder
doing
a
racial
profiling
study
for
their
vehicle
stops,
I've
been
helping
schaumburg
illinois
do
an
overall
assessment
of
their
operations,
a
cedar
park,
texas,
overall
review
of
how
they
conduct
criminal
investigations,
berwin
illinois,
again
overall
assessment
and
st
morgan.
We
just
recently
finished
one
with
them
where
we
did
both
a
staffing
analysis
for
their
agency,
but
also
took
a
look
look
away
at
the
ways
they
could
improve
their
community
policing
outreach
within
the
community
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
different
communities
within
the
community
are
being
embraced.
O
So
that's
just
a
very
brief
snapshot
of
dozens
and
dozens
of
agencies
where
we've
helped,
but
I'd
like
to
turn
the
time
over
to
bob
baumer.
Who
will
be
our
lead
project
manager
on
this.
But
before
I
do
that,
I'd
just
like
to
underscore
something.
We
really
appreciate
the
way
that
richard
smith,
your
mayor
and
city
manager
and
the
chief
and
everybody
else
else
have
been
have
reached
out
to
us
to
try
and
help
with
this,
but
it's
extremely
innovative.
O
What
you've
done
there,
where
you've
had
the
private
sector
step
up
to
say
we're
willing
to
try
and
help
fund.
This,
but
I
would
like
to
underscore
the
fact
that,
although
this
may
be
external
funding
coming
to
to
to
provide
this
service,
if
you
will
understand
that
we
pride
ourselves
on
when
we
come
in
to
do
an
assessment,
there's
no
predetermined
outcome
nobody's
come
to
us
and
said:
hey
we'd
like
you
to
come,
take
a
look
at
this
and
here's
what
we
want
the
outcome
to
be.
O
I
just
want
to
stress
that
at
the
beginning.
So
as
we
talk
about
a
work
scope,
you'll
understand
that
we're
coming
as
an
independent
third
party,
assessor
looking
at
what's
going
really
really
well
in
columbus
and
where
may
may
there
be
some
areas
where
they
can
improve
and
what's
the
staffing
look
like
so
this
truly
will
be
an
independent
analysis
with
no
predetermined
outcomes.
If
you
will
bob,
would
you
now
take
us
through
the
work
school.
Q
Thank
you,
rob
and,
and
I'll
lay
out
the
process
that
we
use
to
go
through
police
department
assessments
and
our
process
always
surrounded
by
ongoing
communication
with
the
client.
So
we
keep,
we
keep
the
department
informed
of
the
progress
informed
of
any
issues
or
roadblocks
we're
running
into,
as
well
as
any
other
kind
of
things
that
are
going
into
the
project.
Our
project
starts
with
document
reviews
and
we
do
a
document
request
and
we
get
copies
of
policies,
procedures,
any
kind
of
documentation
that
police
department
we'll
certainly
be
requesting
a
copy
of
the
audit.
Q
A
copy
of
the
previous
organizational
assessment
that
you
discussed
this
morning,
because
then
it
starts
to
inform
our
process.
But
but
paperwork
is
not
the
only
thing
we
look
at
and
paperwork's
important
to
get
us
started
to
understand
some
basics
about
the
police
department,
but
we
focus
a
lot
on
interviews:
internal
interviews
of
police
department,
employees
all
the
way
from
from
the
chief
down
to
patrol
officers
and
doing
the
ride-alongs
that
were
discussed
earlier
earlier,
as
well
and
sometimes
sitting
with
investigators
as
they're
going
through
a
case.
Q
This
also
involves
a
data
analysis,
so
looking
at
data
on,
of
course,
crime
data,
but
also
we'll
talk
about
in
a
minute.
The
calls
for
service
the
types
of
crimes,
the
types
of
calls
for
services,
and
things
like
that.
We
take
all
that
information
with
the
documents,
the
interviews,
the
data,
put
them
together
and
compare
them
from
crass
contrast.
We've
had
lots
of
experience
with
other
police
departments,
we've
learned
things
on
our
police
departments.
Q
S
Q
Just
to
lay
out
the
stages
it
starts
with
the
kickoff
meeting,
everybody
we
make
sure
everybody's
on
the
same
page.
When
we
talk
about
here's
our
process,
here's
what
we're
going
to
address!
Here's
your
expectations.
We
want
to
make
sure
when
we
start
this
project
everybody's
on
the
same
page
and
understand
the
direction
it's
going
from
a
process
point
of
view.
I
will
conduct
one
probably
two
site
visits
again,
going
out
doing
the
interviews
doing
the
ride-alongs
and
things
like
that.
Q
This
data
analysis
will
be
continuous
as
soon
as
we
request
that
data
and
get
it
alex
and
and
our
data
team
will
start
analyzing
the
data
to
find
the
trends
and
make
conclusions
out
of
the
data.
We
do
ongoing
research
comparison
of
columbus
to
other
places.
Q
Then
we
once
we
complete
the
work,
work
scope.
We
submit
a
draft
report
to
the
city
and
it's
really
important
from
our
perspective
that
it's
a
draft,
because
we
give
an
opportunity
for
the
police
department
in
the
city
to
take
a
look
at
to
make
sure
there's
only
not
any
misrepresentations
or
mistakes
or
missions,
or
once
we
have
a
finding
or
something
the
department
says
they
have
some
information
that
will
inform
that
a
little
better.
Q
So
we
use
that
process
to
get
make
sure
that
report
is
completely
accurate
before
it's
issued
and
then
the
final
report
is
issued
and
we'll
present
it
to.
I
assume
the
council,
whoever
whoever
you
asked
us
to
present
it
to
and
we're
also
available
for
technical
assistance
if
requested
and
if
needed
after
the
assessment
is
completed.
Q
Thank
you
rob
and
I
I
think
I
will
turn
over
rob.
You
want
to
talk
about
the
staffing
study,
analysis.
O
Sure,
just
very
briefly,
the
process
that
dr
weiss
would
be
using
to
do
this,
along
with
the
rest
of
the
team
in
terms
of
taking
a
look
at
the
data,
is
twofold
really
at
the
beginning,
and
that
is
that,
obviously
we
have
to
look
at
calls
for
service
data
where
we
say
what
is
the
demand
that's
being
made
on
the
columbus
police
department?
What
are
the
911
calls
for
service
asking
for
and
how
are?
How
is
the
department
using
those
people
to
respond?
How
is
the
city
broken
on
geographically?
Are
there
beach
districts
division?
O
How
are
they
actually
responding?
Those
calls
in
the
most
effective
manner
that
they
can
and
then
we
also
take
a
look
at
what
types
of
calls
are
actually
responding
to.
We
would
ask
the
question
you
know
taking
a
look
at
these.
Are
there
some
types
of
calls
for
service
that
maybe
is
really
draining
some
of
your
response
time
that
maybe
aren't
that
high
priority
for
you
that
they
could
stop
doing
or
do
in
a
different
way?
O
So
we
try
and
take
a
look
at
what
they're
currently
doing
kind
of
like
a
snapshot
in
time
and
then
begin
to
explore
ways
that
they
could
be
more
effective
with
the
staff
that
they
have.
But
also
what's
really
important
to
understand
is
what
it
is
that
you
as
a
city
would
like,
for
example,
sometimes
we'll
take
a
look
at
a
city
and
we'll
say:
well,
here's
the
calls
for
service
day
and
then
here's
how
many
offices
they
have.
O
If
that's
all,
we
look
at,
we
might
say
you're
12
officers
short
or
two
officers
shorter,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
agency.
You
know
100
officers
short
or
something
like
that
or
not.
We
may
say:
you've
got
enough
officers,
you
just
maybe
could
be
using
them
more
effectively
based
upon
the
types
of
calls
you're
responding
to,
but
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
desires
of
both
the
department,
the
city
council,
the
mayor
and
the
community,
where
they're
saying
here's
what
we'd
like
them
to
be
doing.
O
If
you
want
officers
in
the
field
to
do
community
policing
with
the
community,
there
has
to
be
time
for
them
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
if
all
they're
doing
is
bouncing
from
call
to
call
to
call
to
call
and
don't
have
that
what
we
typically
might
call
free
patrol
time,
meaning
that's
time
they
could
use
to
do
some
proactive
community
policing.
Then
it
becomes
very
difficult.
So
part
of
our
responsibility
will
be
to
come
in
and
really
learn
from
the
chief
and
from
the
mayor
and
council
and
city
managers
and
others.
O
You
know
what
what
what
do
the
people
in
the
city
want
the
police
department
to
be
doing,
and
how
might
we
be
able
to
facilitate
that
much
like
I
was
describing
that
we
did
for
the
city
of
salem
recently,
where
they
wanted
to
not
only
take
a
look
at
their
staffing
levels,
but
let's
review
how
it
is
we're
actually
using
these
officers
so
that
we
make
sure
that
whatever
staffing
house
we
do
will
help
you
move
forward
with
your
vision,
for
where
you
want
the
pd
to
be
in
the
next
several
years,
and
then,
of
course,
that
would
lead
to
some
staffing
requirements
and
or
indications
of
how
you
might
be
able
to
use
the
people
that
you
have
more
effectively.
O
So
that's
a
very
high
level
brief
overview,
but
that's
how
we
would
be
going
doing
that
process
and
then
sydney.
I'd
like
you
to
join
here,
you're
really
great
to
have
you
be
able
to
explain
to
them
how
we
actually
approach
the
the
project
so
that
we
do
have
success
at
the
end,
sydney.
R
Thank
you
rob
and
you
know-
and
I
I
think
rob
you
know.
You
talked
a
little
bit
about
that
before
and
that's
recognizing
that
no
two
police
departments
are
exactly
the
same.
You
know,
as
rob
mentioned,
we've
been
in
big
departments,
small
departments,
medium-sized
departments,
but
each
department
has
different
priorities.
Their
communities
are
different,
the
the
values
of
the
communities,
the
expectations
of
a
police
department
by
the
members
of
that
community.
R
Those
are
all
different
and
part
of
our
to
our
success
is
not
only
looking
at
the
department
from
what
are
their
policies,
what
are
their
procedures,
but
also
speaking
directly
to
community
stakeholders?
What
are
your
expectations?
What
do
you
want
from
your
police
department?
What
has
been
your
experience
with
your
police
department,
but
it's
also
collaborating
and
speaking
to
the
officers
themselves
and
hearing
from
the
officers
and
not
just
the
command
staff,
but
yes,
the
command
staff.
But
what
are
your
department's
strengths?
What
are
your
departments?
Weaknesses?
R
Where
are
opportunities
for
your
department,
from
your
perspective,
to
improve
not
only
in
terms
of
your
performance
but
improve
your
outcomes
and
improve
your
relationships
with
your
with
your
communities
and
we
take
the
entirety
of
the
department,
its
policies?
What
is
that
culture?
What
are
the
expectations
of
the
community?
O
Thank
you
sydney.
In
closing,
as
we
open
this
up
for
questions,
I
would
just
like
to
mention,
because
I
don't
believe
that
cindy
did,
and
that
is
that,
although
she
may
have
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
recently
in
the
illinois
chicago
area,
she
has
joined
family
in
the
beautiful
state
of
georgia,
so
she's
now
working
out
of
with
with
our
business,
our
consultants
could
be
located
anywhere
in
the
country
she's
chosen
to
live
in
georgia.
O
So
I
thought
I
might
just
highlight
that
for
you
at
this
point,
we'll
turn
the
time
over
to
mayor
council.
Whoever
would
like
to
lead
this.
If
there
are
some
questions
from
council,
we
would
be
happy
to
answer
them.
B
O
T
Okay
and
then
we
will
receive,
I
guess
the
preliminary
update
and
that's
the
one
you
said
that
would
have
time
to
peruse
and
go
over
and
discuss
to
get
to
the
final.
O
B
T
B
There's
a
motion
to
approve
the
the
recommendation
in
a
second
to
the
motion.
Well,
mr
hughley,
yes,.
K
B
B
All
right,
council
garrett
votes,
yes
as
well,
so
that
makes
it
unanimous
all
right.
Thank
you,
council
richard.
If
you
still
hear
us,
I
want
to
thank
you
and
all
the
representatives
from
jensen
hughes
for
making
yourselves
available
this
morning.
We're
we're
appreciative
as
as
ever
for
the
work
of
our
private
sector.
That
continues
to
try
to
fill
some
gaps
for
us
and
helps
us
become
the
kind
of
community
that
we
are
striving
to
become.
So
I'm
I'm
grateful.
K
U
B
K
There's
one
other
item
and
I've
got
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge.
We
just
had
an
election,
as
you
know,
and
the
voters
in
muskogee
county
and
across
the
river
valley
region,
said
yes
to
a
transportation,
special
purpose,
local
option
sales
tax
and
when
you
wrap
your
head
around,
you
know
that
and
the
sales
tax
back
in
november
and
the
2012
sales
tax
that
we're
still
working
on.
When
you
wrap
your
head
around
what
it
means.
K
V
So
good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
as
the
city
manager
stated,
this
is
really
an
investment
in
the
infrastructure
throughout
our
community.
The
citizens
have
continued
to
say
yes
for
t
splost
and
for
splost
and
and
just
to
put
that
in
perspective,
it
is
over
a
billion
dollars
of
infrastructure
investment
in
our
community,
which
is
just
huge.
There
are
things
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do.
V
The
2012
t-splost
at
286
million
and
those
projects
are
still
active
and
I'll
go
through
those.
The
current
t,
splash
that
was
just
approved
on
the
ballot
last
week
for
339
million,
the
splost
was
a
forty
four
hundred
million
dollar
splost
that
the
voters
approved
and
also
the
city
hall
at
50
million.
This
is
being
done
with
no
change
to
taxes,
so
no
impact
in
taxes
for
the
citizens,
for
a
total
of
1
billion,
76
million.
Four
hundred
and
ninety
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
five
and
so
and.
K
One
billion
dollars
is
what
we're
working
with
as
we
speak,
to
make
infrastructure
improvements
in
muskogee,
county.
V
And
and
again,
this
does
not
count
the
funds
that
we
receive
from
arp
that
we've
been
able
to
do
infrastructure
investment.
It
doesn't
include
money
that
we'll
be
able
to
leverage
with
g
dot
with
the
federal
government
with
metra
to
also
make
additional
improvements.
So
this
is
really
a
huge
moment
in
muskogee
county
to
have
this
much
investment
going
forward
over
the
next
10
years,
so
I'll
just
walk
through
these
projects,
so
the
citizens
are
aware
of
all
the
projects
that
will
be
taking
place
throughout
our
community.
V
V
The
riverwalk
project
completed
follow
me
trail
completed
the
custer
road
u.s
27
interchange,
completed,
metra
is
in
process.
The
spiderweb
project
is
under
construction,
the
interchange
at
buena,
vista
and
I-185,
that
is
under
construction.
The
casita
road
interchange
is
under
design
and
that
is
moving
forward.
So
a
lot
of
great
projects
in
the
2012
t-splos.
We
have
some
joint
projects
with
harris
county
on
river
road
or
state
road
219,
as
well
as
veterans
parkway,
north
u.s
27.
V
we've
been
able
to
do
a
lot
of
things
with
t-splos
discretionary
funds
with
the
2010
2012
t-splos
from
bridges,
road
improvements-
and
this
is
all
transportation
related
of
over
19
million
dollars
and
then
the
2022
t
splash
that
was
just
on
the
ballot
may
24th.
V
This
is
a
10
year.
1
sales
tax
starts
january
1st,
but
it's
the
continuation
of
the
existing
t
splash.
So
there
wouldn't
be
it's
not
an
additional
one
cent.
It's
the
same
one
cent
it
was
approved
in
all,
but
one
of
the
16
counties
which
really
speaks
great
of
our
region,
that
the
voters
in
all
of
the
16
counties
except
one
voted
approval,
which
means
that
all
16
counties
will
be
in
the
sales
tax.
V
If
you
didn't
approve
it
individually
in
your
county,
doesn't
mean
you
get
to
opt
out,
so
all
16
counties
will
have
that
one
percent
preliminary
results
was
a
55
percent
in
favor
33
000,
yes,
26,
000,
no
and
in
muskogee
county.
Our
preliminary
results
at
51
percent
15
000,
yes,
14
000.
No,
this
is
a
10-year
investment
of
projects
of
399
million
discretionary
funds
of
166
million
g
dot
is
actually
making
159
million
contribution,
so
that
will
give
our
region
559
million
in
projects
going
forward
with
this
2022
t
splash.
That
starts
january
1st.
V
Construction
will
go
further
than
that,
but
these
will
all
be
in
band
one
band
two
projects:
second
avenue
streetscapes
j.r
allen
at
schaumburg
and
blackman
improvements,
forest
road
morris,
road,
those
are
band
two
projects
and
then
band
three
is
casita.
Road
williams,
road,
double
churches,
road
county
line
at
mahaffey-
and
this
is
a
joint
project
with
harris
county,
bull,
creek,
dragonfly
trail
connector
is
in
band
three
and
then
metra
25
million,
and
then
improvements
at
the
airport
at
25
million
for
a
total
of
303
million
on
the
t.
V
And
then,
when
you
look
at
the
splost
again
that
was
approved
in
november,
we
received
our
first
deposit
last
week
of
3.7
million,
so
we're
starting
to
collect
that
splost
400
million
in
projects,
200
million
in
the
general
obligation
bonds
for
the
judicial
center.
The
rest
of
the
projects
are
pay,
as
you
go,
and
one
thing
to
remember.
V
V
So
that
is
a
huge
influx
of
funds
for
infrastructure
investment
in
our
community.
B
H
B
Deputy
manager,
hydrogen
I
had
to
step
out,
and
I'm
sure
you
pointed
out
the
thing
that
excites
me
about
this:
this
is
back
to
basics.
These
are
the
basic
needs
that
we
hear
our
citizens
talking
about.
This
is
not
flashy
new
buildings
or
any
of
that
stuff.
This
is
these
are
replacing
worn
out
or
non-functioning
items,
and
it
is
back
to
the
basics,
with
roadways
and
and
public
safety
and
and
construction
of
the
facilities
that
lead
that
lead
us
to
be
a
a
destination
city
for
a
lot
of
places.
E
E
E
It
does,
but
that's
part
of
the
that's
part
of
the
process
and
government's
a
little
different
than
the
private
sector,
so
it
sometimes
it
takes
a
little
bit
longer,
but
I
know
that
our
people
do
a
good
job
with
what
they
have
okay
and
I'll
say
with
what
they
have.
But
right
now
this
is
a
this
is
a
lot
to
to.
You
know
to
bite
off
and
to
chew
on,
and
you
know
it's
like
swallowing.
E
Well,
they
say
the
the
900-pound
elephant
in
the
room,
but
a
lot
bigger
than
that,
but
anyway
it
takes
a
while.
So
I
would
like
to
just
to
ask
the
executive
management
if
they
would
really
consider
and
look
at
finding
ways
to
expedite
these
projects
and
what
I
mean
mainly
is
with
professional
services.
The
engineers
look:
we've
got
some
great
civil
engineering
firms
in
our
community
and
lord
knows
they
probably
need
work.
It
would
help.
I
mean
a
lot
of
this.
Money
is
going
right
back
in
our
local
economy.
E
We
got
some
good
people
it's
hard
to
find
these
people.
Today
I
mean
we
can't
even
find
the
people
to
fill
in
spots.
You
know
with
engineers,
so
you
know
maybe
it's
better
to
go
out
and
look
at
what
we
have
and
ask
them
to
help
us
as
consultants
or
bringing
them
home
and
allowing
them.
You
know
across
the
board
to
manage
these
individual
projects
and
to
get
the
engineering
side
of
it
moving
and
done
and
get
out
there.
E
You
know
you
can
pull
the
trigger
later
when
you
want
to
start
doing
the
rfps
for
construction
or
you
know,
sometimes
if,
if
the
supply
chain
gets
worked
out,
you
know
you
can
you
know
by
then
then,
hopefully
you
can
get
the
materials
and
all.
But
the
key
thing
is
just
getting
the
engineering
done
on
these
roads
and
getting
a
blueprint
and
a
map,
and
then
you
can
start
making
decisions
and
expedite
it.
E
I
think
that's
going
to
be
key
with
moving
a
lot
of
these
projects,
so,
whether
it's
discretionary
funds
or
funds
that
we
can
exit,
we
expedite
it
and
then
I
guess
you
know,
pull
out
and
then
recover
them
at
a
later
point.
I
don't
know
how
you
would
do
that,
but
but
anyway,
a
way
to
expedite
these
projects
and
get
our
local
people
involved.
E
I
think
that's
the
only
way
you're
going
to
be
able
to
do
it
or
we're
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
hire
people
and
we're
just
losing
you
know
losing
ground
every
day
with
that.
So
I
just
like
to
put
that
out
there,
because
this
is
a
good
thing.
It's
a
great
thing
for
our
community:
I'm
glad
the
citizens
passed.
E
A
lot
of
these
roads
are
roads
that
you
know,
we've
been
trying
to
get
done
for
a
long
time
and
because
of
funding,
we
couldn't
get
them
done
even
from
an
engineering
side,
but
if
we
could
do
that,
that
would
just
I
think
that
would
help
and
be
the
right
way
to
approach
a
lot
of
these
projects
and
I'm
sure
the
deputy
director
who
handles
that
whole
area
would
would
love
that
kind
of,
I
guess,
guidance
and
help
and
being
able
to
do
that.
K
Yes,
sir,
and
those
are
excellent
points
you
know
when
and
when
you
think
about
1.1
billion
dollars.
K
In
the
works
over
the
next
10
years,
we're
going
to
hear
from
vendors
from
all
over
this
country
trying
to
get
in
on
some
of
the
money
you're
going
to
hear
from
them
too,
but
we
we've
got
to
figure
it
out
and
and
we
need
to
engage
our
locals
when
you
talk
about
1.1
billion
dollars,
and
so
I
think
your
points
well
taken
and
I'm
sure
I
know
that
depth,
city
manager,
hodge
heard
you
and-
and
we
got
to
figure
our
strategy,
it's
kind
of
like
dog
caught
the
car.
K
You
know
with
1.1
billion
dollars.
So
what
you're
going
to
do?
And
so
we
made
some
promises,
we're
going
to
keep
those
promises,
we're
committed
to
keeping
those
promises,
and
I
think,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
citizens
of
muskogee
columbus
are
going
to
be
proud
of
our
city,
and
I
tell
you
I've
mentioned
it
to
a
couple
of
my
colleagues
and
when
I
mention
about
1.1
billion
dollars
that
we've
got,
I
mean
they
just
get
off
the
phone
with
me.
K
They
don't
want
to
talk
to
me
because
they
would
like
to
be
columbus
georgia
and
have
the
situation
that
we
have,
and
so
I'm
excited,
but
we've
we've
got
work
to
do
and
we
got
to
go
to
work.
We
got
to
deliver
on
the
promise
a
lot.
G
G
I
also
like
to
take
the
point
of
privilege
to
say
congratulations
to
our
mayor
to
judy
of
charmaine.
All
my
council
members
are
returning
back.
That's
a
big!
That's
a
big
accomplishment
that
the
citizens
do
see.
We
hear
a
lot
of
the
negatives
more
than
we
hear
of
the
positive,
but
this
election
showed
the
trust
that
this
community
really
have
in
us
and
we
have
proven
ourselves.
We
can't
make
everyone
a
hundred
percent
happy.
G
E
Yeah,
city
manager-
let
me
I
just
want
to
add
one
more
point
to
what
I
talked
about
earlier.
Maybe
that's
the
way
that
we
ought
to
think
about.
Some
of
our
specialty
departments
in
in
hiring
is
to
put
some
of
these
people
on
on
call
or
whatever
on
staff,
because
you've
talked
about
it
many
many
times
about
not
being
able
to
find
the
right
people
to
fill
positions.
B
U
Thank
you
mayor.
Congratulations
to
you
again
on
the
re-election
and
to
all
our
incumbent
counselors
around
the
table
that
got
reelected
got
a
short
business
agenda.
The
first
ordinance
up
is
the
zoning
vote
for
mercymed
at
3679
steam
mill,
road.
B
U
Right,
mr
gibson,
thank
you
for
being
here.
Next
item
is
ms
hodge
deputy
city
manager
hodge.
If
you'll
come
around
again,
we've
got
a
resolution
to
put
out
the
rfp
on
provision
for
indigent
health
care
in
muskogee
county,
and
this
will
allow
successful
bidders
to
also
seek
some
reimbursement
from
july
1
going
forward.
But
ms
hodge,
you
can
give
me
your
comments.
Please
ma'am.
V
V
There
were
some
changes
that
needed
to
be
made
to
the
charter
in
order
for
us
to
allow
for
multiple
vendors
and
also
some
changes
to
the
millage
rate.
Council
did
approve
that
request.
Back
in
october,
the
governor
signed
off
on
that
change
in
our
charter
back
in
april,
and
we've
moved
forward
with
the
budget
placing
2.5
mills
in
the
budget,
which
is
12
and
a
half
million
for
indigent
medical
care.
V
That's
going
through
the
budget
process.
Now
the
resolution
on
the
agenda
today
to
show
the
support
for
continuation
of
indigent
care
proposal.
So
that's
on
the
agenda.
The
rfp
will
be
released
in
june,
and
this
is
healthcare
services
for
the
medically
indigent
persons
of
muskogee
county
and
also
for
those
housed
at
the
inmates
at
the
muscogee
county
jail,
and
this
services
will
include
anything
from
inpatient
and
outpatient
hospital
care,
x-rays,
laboratory,
primary
medical
care,
pharmaceutical
mental
health
services.
So
this
rfp
will
be
released
next
month,
as
the
budget
is
going
through.
V
V
Those
can
be
submitted
if
they
are
successful
in
their
submission
of
the
rfp
on
january
1st,
and
then
it
would
be
quarterly
thereafter.
So
there
will
be
a
process
for
reimbursement
of
any
services
that
are
rendered
for
indigent
care
for
those
vendors
who
are
awarded
a
contract
by
city
council
after
the
rfp
process.
Okay,.
V
V
So
service
providers
are
already
providing
care
to
indigents
already
other
other
entities.
Besides
the
medical
center
or
piedmont
regional
treats
indigent
patients.
Now,
the
only
one
that's
currently
being
reimbursed
is
the
piedmont
regional,
so
they're
required
if
they
partici
hospitals
are
required
if
they
participate
in
the
statewide
institute
care
program
to
accept
indigence,
which
they're
currently
doing
so
there
won't
be
really
any
changes
to
the
operation.
W
B
K
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
know
I
think
the
resolution
is
really
clear,
but
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
reiterate.
The
intent
of
the
resolution
is
that
we
know
the
contract
with
piedmont
expires
june
30th,
and
so
we
figure
people
are
wondering.
Well,
how
do
I
get
care?
Well,
you
get
here
in
the
same
way
you've
been
getting
here,
you
go
to
piedmont.
K
They
handle
indigent
saint
francis
currently
handle
indigent
valley,
health
care,
handle
indigent
immersive,
med,
indigent
pastoral
institute
indigent,
and
the
list
goes
on
continue
to
go
and
get
your
services.
Now
all
of
those
agencies
that
I
just
named
while
they've
been
doing
this
indigen
cure
anyway,
they've
not
been
applying
for
and
yet
and
reimbursed.
K
They're
going
to
be
able
to
for
that
service
that
meets
the
criteria
they're
going
to
be
able
to
get
reimbursed
through
our
industry
care
program.
So
it
the
intent
of
the
resolution,
is
to
say
to
them.
You
know,
keep
doing
what
you've
been
doing,
take
care
of
our
indigent
when
they
come
to
see
you
because
you've
been
doing
it
anyway
and
then
become
go
after
the
rfp
become
an
approved
vendor,
and
then
you
apply
for
reimbursements
and
by
the
way
those
reimbursements
are
going
to
be
retroactive.
K
Back
to
july
1st
we're
going
to
pay
you,
and
so
we
wanted
those
who
are
indigent
and
feel
comfortable,
that
the
service
is
still
there
and
we
wanted
those
who
provide
care
to
indigent,
to
know
that
you
have
an
opportunity
now
to
be
reimbursed
for
what
you've
been
doing
anyway.
That's
kind
of
the
end.
W
X
Thank
you
who
is
to
review
and
abr
approve
these
reimbursements.
B
E
Davis,
thank
you,
miss
city
manager.
We
had
a
conversation
on
this
la
not
long
ago
when
it
first
came
to
us-
and
I
just
wanted
to
I'm
going
to
support
the
the
request,
because
I
think
it's
good
to
to
do
things
in
our
community.
That's
going
to
help
the
underserved
okay,
but
at
the
same
time
I
just
want
to
reiterate:
this
is
a
lot
of
money.
It's
a
lot
of
money.
I
think
there
was
some
talk
around
the
council
when
we
were
looking
into
this
trying
to
figure
out
how
it's
all
going
to
play
out.
E
You
know
some
of
the
council
members
said:
well,
we
just
want.
We
need
some
history
or
we
want
to
see
some.
You
know
some
how
this
is
going
to
work
from
a
structure
side.
I
also
heard
you
say
that
you're
going
to
be
watching
from
the
management
side
and
watching
it
very
close,
because
it
is
a
lot
of
funds
and
we
also
learned
that
there's
other
needs
in
our
community
as
well.
That
can
also
utilize
this
money
and
the
difference.
E
The
difference
is
this
is
local
money
from
property
taxes
of
our
taxpayers,
and
when
you
talk
about
health
care,
there's
a
lot
of
sources
of
funds
that
come
from
where
the
federal
government,
the
state
government,
you
know
all
of
us
pay
in
to
a
care
system
that
comes
out
of
our
checks.
Every
time
we
get
a
check,
it
all
goes
in
there.
We
may
not
see
it,
but
I
want
to
say
this
is
in
addition.
E
E
We
have
debt
out
there
that
we
need
to
be
conscious
of,
as
we
run
the
operations
of
the
government,
so
I'm
not
sitting
here
and
and
putting
a
dollar
figure
on
that,
but
I
think
that
I
won't
own
record
before
I
support
this,
that
I
do
think
that
a
portion
of
this
should
go
towards
underserved
in
our
community
and
as
well,
that
we
should
also
be
wise
in
how
we're
utilizing
local
property
tax
dollars
in
the
other
areas
that
we
can
also
meet
the
needs
that
we
hear
every
day.
E
People
are,
you
know
I
get
the
calls
every
day
about
paving
roads,
so
there
are
other
things
that
need
to
take
place
as
well,
so
yeah
in
general.
What
I'm
saying
is
a
balance
well,
and
I
have
to
trust
you
in
executive
management
and
the
comments
that
were
made
around
this
table
that
we're
going
to
to
watch
this
very
close
yeah.
K
You
know
like
I've
said
like
you
scrutinized
my
travel,
you
know
and
the
response
is
no,
and
you
heard
the
deputy
city
manager
when
council
crabbe
asked
well
who's
going
to
review
these
bills
when
they
come
through
and
she
said
the
finance
department
well
yeah.
I
I
may
even
want
to
come
back
to
you
to
contract
with
someone
who
has
the
expertise,
skills
ability
to
scrutinize.
K
In
other
words,
I
don't
you
know
if
someone
from
one
of
those
agencies
that
name
submits
a
bill
to
finance,
to
pay
for
I'm
going
to
be
simple,
lab
work,
I
mean
how
much
is
lab
work.
I
don't
know
you
know,
but
if
I've
got
you
know
with
blue
cross
blue
shield,
you
know
they
call
them
before
they
do
work
to
work
on
you
at
the
hospital
to
get
it
approved
because
they
want
to
scrutinize
what
they're
about
to
do
before
you
do
it.
K
A
quarter
of
that.
Well
I
mean
I
don't,
but
but
my
point
is
we
get
to
do
something
we
have
not
done
in
30
years.
Put
your
eyes
on
it:
scrutinize
it
there's
oversight,
there's
accountability
and,
and
then
you
know
we
have
the
ability.
I
think
that
you
know
if,
if
I
determine
that
you
know
you're
submitting
invoices
that
are
out
of
you
know,
that's
that's
gouging,
us
we're
not
going
to
do
business
with
you.
Well
we're
just
going
to
cancel
your
contract.
K
E
Right-
and
I
you
know,
we
in
saying
that
we
do
have
a
model
we
have
our
clinic,
we
know
somewhat
what
costs
are
or
in
our
community.
But
another
thing
I
wanted
to
add
to
this.
You
know
it.
You
know
we
probably
wouldn't
be
having
this
conversation,
but
we've
never
adjusted
the
millage
rate
over
the
years
and
it's
grown.
I
think
we
talked
about
it's
grown
from
what
2
million
to
3
million
to
now
15
million
and
well.
E
Of
course,
we
used
2.5
on
debt
service
already,
so
it's
12.5
million,
but
you've
got
entities
like
saint
francis,
which
is
now
bought
by
emory.
It
used
to
be
another
private.
I
guess
it's
still
emery's,
I
want
to
say
they're
private,
but
you
know,
I
believe,
they're
paying
100
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
100
property
taxes,
where
you
have
other
entities
that
are
not
at
all
they're
getting
mon.
You
know
this.
This
supplement
money
on
top
of
having
tax
abatements,
so
maybe
there's
other
ways
to
help
entities
that
are
out
there.
E
X
Thank
you.
I
was
wondering
if,
if
maybe
the
insurance
company
that
we
use
internally
for
the
city
can
be
an
advisor
on
that
and
help
the
finance
department
with
those
decisions,
because
I,
like
you,
said
I
I
just
I
don't
want
us
to
ignorantly
approve
these
invoices,
because
we
because
we
don't
work
within
that
industry,.
X
Thank
you
and
I'd
I'd
like
to
throw
out
a
suggestion
for
a
slight
amendment
on
this,
because
there's
something
that
I
brought
up
in
the
budget
meeting
and
so
on
the
one
two
three.
Fourth,
fourth
paragraph
where
it
says
you
know
the
recommended
budget
includes
a
levy
of
2.5
mills.
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
add
a
levy
of
up
to
2.5
mils,
because
I
did
bring
up.
X
I
I'm
hearing
what
everybody's
saying
that
we
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
I,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
do
know
how
much
storm
water
costs
and
how
much
we
need
in
storm
water
and
in
paving,
and
so
I'm
still
I'd
still
like
to
use
some
of
these
meals
that
towards
those
two
funds,
and
so
I
would
I'm.
I
guess,
I'm
bringing
up
a
motion
that
we
could
change
that
to
include
a
levy
of
up
to
2.5
mills.
B
H
U
V
Yeah,
so
if
we
levy
and
council
approves
2.5
mills
for
indigent
health
care,
medical
health
care
for
indigence,
it
goes
into
a
separate
fund
for
that
purpose,
and
it
would
remain
in
that
fund
for
that
purpose,
because
that
was
the
intent
of
the
levy
for
the
millage.
So
we
couldn't
take
money
out
of
the
indigent
care
fund
and
put
it
into
another
fund.
V
B
K
Y
V
X
X
Cost
savings
and
things
like
that.
We
can't
move
this
around
and
we
already
know
that
we
absolutely
need
money
in
storm
water
and
paving
we
never.
We
never
have
enough
money
for
those
two,
and
so
I'm
just
that.
We
were
in
a
situation
right
here
where
we
have
the
opportunity
to
put
more
funds
into
those
two
accounts,
and
I
want
us
to
kind
of
keep
keep
our
options
open
by
adding
two
words
up
to
2.5,
while
we're
still
negotiating
the
budget.
V
And
I
think
that's
fine
during
the
budget
process,
but
once
the
millage
ordinance
is
adopted
on
june
28,
that's
the
amount
of
money
that
will
be
allocated
to
that
purpose.
So
it
would
have
to
happen
by
change
in
the
millage
ordinance,
because
once
the
millage
ordinance
is
adopted
and
if
it
stays
at
2.5
mills,
then
that's
the
amount
of
money
that
will
go
into
the
indigent
healthcare
fund
and
remain
there.
V
K
So,
mr
mayor,
if
I
may
so,
I
think
what
I
hear
the
deputy
city
manager
saying
is,
of
course
this
is
the
first
year
and
let's
say
that
we
know
it's
going
to
be
up
to
2.5
meals,
because
you
know,
but
but
we've
got
to
do
the
2.5
meals
to
ensure
that
if
we
get
to
the
2.5
that
the
money
is
there,
so
let's
say
that
we
end
up
and
we
only
do
two
meals
at
the
end
of
the
year
we
say
we've
done
well,
we
set
up
to
2.5
meals
and
we
ended
the
year
at
two
meals.
K
V
Going
to
the
half
mil
the
difference
in
the
three
mil
and
the
two
and
a
half
mil,
the
half
mill
is
going
for
debt
service
for
the
purchase
of
the
city
hall
and
the
renovation
of
the
city
hall
building.
So
that's
being
done
with
no
impact
to
the
taxpayer,
because
it
was
reduced
from
the
medical
center,
three
meals
to
two
and
a
half
mills
and.
K
So
I
think
that's
a
perfect
example
of
you
took
a
half
meal
and
didn't
do
make
any
increase
to
the
taxpayers
and
we
did
city
hall
and
if
we
come
in,
if
we
over,
if
we
perform
in
a
good
way-
and
we
come
in
at
two
then
meals
at
the
end
of
the
year,
then
you're
on
the
budget
1.5
and
then
you
got
a
whole
meal
to
do
something
else
with,
like
you
know,
a
one-time
deal
in
the
sonova's
building.
So
but
one
year
you,
you
know
where
you
are
well.
G
That
that
was
my-
that
was
my
point.
Thank
you
city
manager,
for
finishing
it,
but
that
was
my
point.
We're
only
asking
for
one
year
a
half
a
meal
is
being
used
for
that
we
don't
know
how
much
all
of
it
engine
chairs
gonna,
be.
I
never
I've
never
been
in
support
of
lowing
something
I
rather
keep
it
stable,
because
once
you
lower
it,
you
can't
bring
it
back
up
and
we
all
sit
around
here
and
say
that
our
interest
in
care
is
important
to
us.
G
B
B
B
Council
garrett
votes.
Yes,
so
that
is
that's
unanimous.
T
Council
davis
and
I
had
a
conversation
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
his
daughter
saraya
came
up
with
a
great
idea
about
the
term
indigen
care,
and
I
let
him
pipe
in
and
help
me
out
here.
But
he
came
up
with
a
term
that
I
think
columbus
and
muscogee
county
could
kind
of
take
the
lead
on
okay
and
change.
B
That
okay,
well,
let's,
let's,
let's
we've
got
a
motion
on
the
table
and
a
second
for
item
three
on
the
travel
policy
for
members
of
the
columbus
georgia
council.
Are
there
any
any
questions
or
comments
regarding
that
councilor
thomas
hang
on,
let
me
get
to.
W
Of
that
of
that
policy
says
no
counselor
will
be
reimbursed
by
the
city
for
attendance
at
more
than
one
conference
outside
of
columbus
georgia
each
fiscal
year,
regardless
of
the
availability
of
funding.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
understanding
is
really
clear
that
if
we
don't
have
the
funding,
you
don't
get
a
trip
out
of
the
city.
W
W
I
I
want
to
make
sure
and
I'm
not
sure
if
we
need
to
amend
that
to
say,
subject
to
the
availability
of
funding
or
regardless
of
in
subject
to,
but
I
want
it
to
be
real
clear
in
the
minds
of
the
folks
around
this
table
and
in
our
record
that,
if
there's
not
money
in
that
fund,
it
does
the
regardless
of
the
of
the
availability,
doesn't
mean
you
get
it
anyway.
B
And
and
I'd
make
one
comment
to
that:
I've
stayed
out
of
this.
This
is
for
council,
but
I'll
just
point
out
that
if
anybody
is
on
a
a
committee
or
a
board
or
chairing
a
board
for
like
gma
or
accg,
I
think
there's
two
conferences
per
year.
I
think
there's
a
spring
and
a
fall
conference,
and
it-
and
I
know
if
you,
if
you
can't
make
those
events,
for
example,
there's
a
legislative
policy
committee.
W
The
city
manager
is
telling
me
he
thinks
further
down,
it
will
cover
it,
but
I'm
the
city
attorney.
U
Yeah,
the
second
paragraph
in
the
middle
says
you've
got
the
discussion
above
about
one
out
of
county
event,
and
then
it
says
the
payment
of
conference
and
travel
expenses,
whether
mandatory
training
or
the
paragraph
above
shall
be
subject
to
the
availability
of
funds
in
the
annual
budget.
So
that's
what.
B
U
B
Councillor
davis,
council,
thomas,
were
you
through
yes,
councillor,
davis,.
E
Miss
city
manager-
I
probably
I've,
seen
some.
This
is
a
housekeeping
major,
so
not
today,
but
it's
in
line
in
the
conversation
with
this
travel
policy
that
we're
talking
about.
I
do
agree
with
councillor
thomas
on
that.
However,
it's
put
together,
I'm
in
support
of
that
that
language,
but
I
know
councillor
house,
has
worked
on
some
things
and
I've
seen
it.
Maybe
some
language
that
might
be
good
to
add
in
from
a
council
perspective
into
the
travel
policy,
and
maybe
it
spills
the
control
measures
out
a
little
bit
better.
E
E
I
know,
it's
been
something
that's
been
kind
of
worked
on
over
the
years,
but
I
have
to
commend
the
executive
management,
all
those
involved,
probably
the
directors
and
department
heads
and
all
that
it's
it's
a
it's
a
pretty
pretty
it's
a
good
document.
I
mean
it's
just
a
great
document
when
you
really
read
it
it,
it
spells
it
out
real
clear.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
say
that
and.
H
E
J
J
Said
in
reference
to
what
the
mayor
was
mentioning
about
individuals
that
actually
serve
on
boards,
like
if
you're
on
the
board
of
managers
and
you
do
have
a
fall
session
and
a
spring
session.
U
B
All
right,
councillor,
woodson.
G
Yes,
I
know
this
last
change
was
done.
I
wasn't
here
at
the
time
this
last
change
was
made,
but
I
know
in
a
conversation
and
in
a
briefing
that
we
had
with
the
clerk
of
council,
and
I
think
it
was
judy
or
who
was
it
counselor
crab
bruce,
and
I
we
had
a
different,
a
different
resolution
from
that
first
line
there
where
it
was
giving
each
council
member
a
certain
budget
and
if
they
needed
additional
money
because
they
are
on
boards
that
they
would
need
to
speak
sandra.
G
I
can't
hear
you
okay?
Well,
there
was
one
that
we
put
together.
That
would
will
happen
is,
if,
let's
say,
there's
no
funding
left,
but
there
were
like
boards
meetings
or
anything
else
that
needed
to
be
done.
The
person
who's
going
to
this
board
meetings
or
traveling
could
ask
one
of
the
colleagues
to
use
their
funding
in
order
to
insure
it,
and
you
know
I
had
taught
I've
been
struggling
with
this,
because
I
know
for
a
fact
when
mira
protempiu
was
here
myself
and
bruce.
G
We
were
the
ones
that
were
mostly
traveling
and
keeping
relationship
with
these
organizations
and
bringing
information
back
and
then
we
went
through
a
recession
and
then
we
cut
it
all
out
and
then
counselor
pew
and
counselor
bruce.
They
were
fortunate
enough
financially
that
they
can
do
it.
They
continue
with
taking
money
out
of
their
pockets
to
keep
the
relationship
going.
G
G
I
you
know
I
I
went
ahead
and-
and
I
made
the
motion
to
it,
but
I
kind
of
think
want
to
change
it
to
to
bring
back
the
original
one
that
we
had
and
then
have
people
vote
it
up
or
vote
it
down.
And
let's
make
this
right
because
I
don't
think
it's
fair.
G
Everybody
has
the
right
to
travel.
If
they
want
to,
everybody
has
the
right
to
be
on
a
board.
Everybody
has
the
right
to
represent
their
community
and
their
city.
I
don't
think
we
should
be
limiting
it
and
kind
of
telling
a
person.
You
can't
go.
Do
that.
Why?
If
they're,
representing
our
city
and
they're,
bringing
back
things
to
us,
why
not?
G
D
I
just
want
to
clarify
the
city
attorney
in
the
fourth
line,
where
it
talks
about
mandatory
training
conferences
that
is
state
mandated
training.
Is
that
correct.
U
U
D
Well,
I
I
might
just
just
to
comment
on
on
that.
I
think
we
talked
about
and
again
this
goes
back
to
the
budget
session,
but
we
talked
about
those
that
want
to
travel
and
in
the
past
it
has
been
former
america
mayor
pro
tem,
evelyn,
pugh
and
councillor
bruce
huff
were
the
two
that
were
trapped,
that
we
were
relying
on
to
take.
D
One
went
to
gma,
gmc
gma
went
to
accg
and
so
we're
in
a
situation
now
with
our
budget,
where
we
need
to
scale
down
and
and
watch
our,
and
so
if,
if
the
intent
is
to
increase
the
budget
line
so
that
there
are
monies
there
for
each
counselor
and
I
think
the
clerk
said
roughly
three
thousand
dollars
so
you're
talking
about
increasing
it
from
fifteen
to
thirty.
D
I
cannot
support
that.
I
am
I
as
a
counselor,
I'm
not
gonna,
be
traveling,
and
I
think
it's
a
bad
picture
to
paint
to
the
public
to
to
set
up
funds
for
every
council
to
travel
whenever
they
want
to
to
go
to
any
meeting.
They
want
to
whether
it's
the
annual
meeting
for
that
particular
association
or
trade
or
a
board
meeting.
They
happen
to
be
on
if,
if
they're
on
more
than
one
board,
then
they're
going
to
be
traveling
many
times
a
year,
and
that's
just
to
me
is
not
good
use
of
the
taxpayer
dollar.
G
G
K
G
T
Councillor
crabb
and
I
were
talking
that
you
could
only
speak
with
counselors
twice
in
the
year
maximum,
so
that
was
up
for
debate
on
whether
it's
going
to
be
twice
a
year
or
once
a
year.
If
you
were
able
to
talk
to
a
counselor
once
a
year,
then
your
maximum
travel
was
3
000
for
that
individual
not
to
exceed
the
mandatory
budget
of
10.
T
For
that
purpose,
and
if,
if
you
were
allowed
to
talk
to
the
councillors
twice
a
year,
then
it
would
be
a
mandatory
4
500.,
but
never
to
exceed
the
10
000
for
travel
and
the
5
000
for
mandatory
training.
We
have
a
new
council
person
coming
in
for
council
woodson
c,
so
there
will
be
mandatory
training,
but
at
no
time
is
the
budget
to
exceed
the
10
and
the
5
to
15
000
total.
That
was
what
we
talked
about.
T
T
T
So
accg
you
have
a
board
meeting
once
a
year.
I
mean
annual
conference
once
a
year
and
then
you
have
a
couple
of
board
meetings
along
the
way.
So
I
personally
paid
my
way
for
about
five
years
of
a
conference
and
two
board
meetings.
So
that's
that's
just
the
way
it
felt.
But
as
far
as
representing
the
city,
I
did
that.
T
E
Yeah
mayor
in
simple,
we
are.
E
We're
trying
to
manage
the
finances
of
the
taxpayers
appropriately,
and
this
is
accountability
and
the
policy
that's
there.
We've
talked
about
this.
We've
talked
about
the
budget
sessions.
We've
we've
gone
through
this,
so
if
councilor
woodson
is
withdrawing
her
motion,
I'm
going
to
put
the
motion
back
on
the
table
because
we
need
to
deal
with
it.
It's
in
the
budget.
It's
already
set
up
and
we
just
need
to
be
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
mean
it's.
E
The
right
thing
to
do
and
the
expectations
for
us
to
do
our
jobs
appropriately
are
are
are
out
there
with
the
taxpayers
and
they're
watching
and
not
only
are
they,
but
the
department,
heads
and
others
are
watching
throughout
this
government,
and
we
just
need
to
make
sure
that
we
get
this
policy
written
and
that
that
everybody
knows
what
the
guidelines
are.
So
if
the
motion
is
withdrawn,
I'll
put
the
motion
on
the
table
to
go
ahead
and
approve
this
resolution.
Z
H
B
B
Okay,
that'll
be
noted,
councillor
garrett.
S
If
there
is
something
that
is
vitally
important
to
the
city,
you
know
they
need
that
they
need
one
of
us
or
for
the
firm
that
they
would
want
us
to
attend.
So
I
mean
I'm,
I'm
I'm
fine
with
us
having
some
some
sort
of
wiggle
room
in
there,
but
I
definitely
am
in
favor
of
ten
thousand
dollar
or
below.
You
know
like
budget,
unless
it's
a
mandatory
thing
that
some
counselor
needs
to
attend.
I
just
want
to
voice
my
opinion
on
that.
G
Yes,
finance
director,
I
mean
deputy
city
manager
pam.
I
have
a
question
for
you
what's
in
the
what's
in
the
budget
right
now
for
travel.
G
V
G
G
So
I'm
gonna
keep
my
motion,
but
I
do
want
us
to
bring
back
on
the
conversation
that
us
three
hand
so
that
council
can
can
look
at
it,
because
I
can
tell
you
we're
not
asking
thirty
thousand
dollars
we're
saying
just
the
fifteen
to
keep
it
the
same,
that
we
did
last
year
in
the
budget.
G
We're
not
saying
anything
different,
but
I
don't
want
to
hold
us
here,
talking
30,
42
hours,
debating,
what's
right
and
what's
not
and
and
so
forth,
but
I
do
want
city
manager
or
pam
one
of
y'all
to
get
with
bruce
and
myself.
So
we
can
bring
that
presentation
that
we
saw
to
console
and
see
if
we
can
consider
to
amend
this,
because
I
don't
think
this
is
fair.
W
W
The
council
of
the
clerk
of
council
told
us
that
in
the
past
it
had
cost
about
twelve
hundred
to
thirteen
hundred
dollars
for
that
mandatory
training,
and
so
we
thought
at
5
000.
If
we
had
multiple
new
counselors
that
had
to
go
to
that
training,
the
5
000
would
cover
it.
And
then
we
said
ten
thousand
dollars
for
council
travel
and
we
had
quite
a
discussion
about.
Do
we
limit
the
number
of
trips
you
can
make,
or
do
we
limit
the
amount
of
money
you
can
spend
and
that
was
then.
W
Not
according
to
this
policy,
you
can't
do
that.
You
have
to
you,
get
one
trip
and
if
we
want
to
limit
the
amount
that
each
counselor
can
spend
on
that
one
trip-
or
you
know,
take
off
the
one
trip.
That's
that's
the
issue.
Do
we
limit
the
amount
that
you
spend
each
council
can
spend
or
do
you
limit
the
number
of
trips
and
the
the
resolution
that
has
come
back
to
us
has
limited
the
number
of
trips?
B
X
Thank
you,
and
just
to
further
clarify
what
counselor
thomas
said.
It
is
limiting
the
number
of
trips
that
council
budget
will
pay,
for
it
doesn't
mean
that
you
can't
go
on
several
trips.
It's
just
saying
that
only
one
trip
is
going
to
get
paid
out
of
our
budget.
The
other
trips
you'd
have
to
take
them
on
your
on
your
own.
You'd
have
to
pay
for
them
on
your
own.
B
Okay,
thank
you
ma'am
all
right.
There
are
no
further
lights
on
councillor
barnes
did
you
have
something,
sir?.
M
W
M
B
Initial
discussions,
so
it
would
be
just
until
the
next
meeting
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
any
further
discussion
on
that
motion
to
delay.
Hearing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye.
B
AA
U
B
Mr
juan
lamberty,
representing,
representing
full
of
grace
inc,
can
come
to
the
podium
and
sir
you'll
have
three
minutes
and
if,
if
you're
unable
to
get
through
in
three
minutes,
we'll
we'll
allow
you
to
come
back
at
the
end
of
the
evening
at
the
end,
hope
that's
not
a
freudian
slip.
The
end
of
the
evening
to
the
end
of
the
day,.

Thank
you
for
spearheading
this
and
and
if
you'll,
I
think,
you've
already
sent
an
email
so
we'll
make
sure
that
that
gets
distributed
and
we'll
pray
for
a
good
turnout
for
the
night
of
prayer.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
God
bless!
G
I'm
just
gonna.
I
just
want
to
relate
the
date
again
because
they
were
talking
really
fast
and
translating
because
they
wanted
to
meet
the
three
minutes.
G
It's
open
to
all
congregations,
all
children
of
god,
nonprofit
churches,
civic
engagement
groups
to
everyone-
is
just
uniting
our
different
multi-cultures
in
one
area
to
pray
for
our
city,
our
law
enforcement,
our
government
and
all-
and
I
think
it's
really
impressive.
When
you
have
the
latino
community,
which
never
comes
out,
come
out
and
come
out
in
this
force
to
pray
for
our
city
and
our
citizens,
so
keeping
that
date
in
mind
is
june,
the
11th
seven
o'clock
at
the
civic
center.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
This
is
a
good
example.
When
our
citizens
interact
with
our
government.
You
heard
the
the
order
to
talk
about
how
the
citizens
feel
about
this
government,
the
positive
attitude
and
juan
and
noelia's
I've
known
for
years.
In
fact,
in
2009
they
called
me
and
said
they
wanted
to
do
something
really
big
for
the
city
didn't
know
what
it
was
didn't
know
how
to
go
about
it.
M
Mr
mayor,
so
we
brainstormed-
and
I
said
well
why
not
to
a
healthier
the
first
health
fair
was
in
a
lot
on
offer
hamilton
room,
and
I
think
17
people
showed
up
that
same
health.
Fair
is
now
biannual
here
in
columbus
for
the
whole
city,
30,
health
care
and
social
work
organizations
and
over
400
people
come
out
for
a
thing,
and
that
goes
to
show
you
in
the
bible.
When
it
says
god
doesn't
want
you
to
sacrifice
your
obedience,
they
didn't
even
know
what
to
do
and
look
what
it.
M
We
marry
up
times
this
time
when
ron
called
juan
and
noelia
called
me.
I
called
rob
landers,
but
it
didn't
take
ron
land
rob
landers
what
20
minutes
juan
he
says,
we'll
work
out
something.
So
I
just
wanted
to
just
highlight
what
miss
barfield
spoke
about
about,
how
proactive
and
and
columbus
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
Columbus,
mr
mayor
is
a
unique
city.
We
just
got
finished
talking
about
the
public-private
partnerships,
individuals,
chiming
in
for
public
safety,
it's
juan
and
noelia
twice.
M
M
I
will
be
there
and
and
we're
looking
for
this
here
to
really
grow,
but
I
just
wanted
to
highlight,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
and
and
the
and
counselor
alan
just
the
center,
the
synergism
between
the
citizens
and
this
government
is
just
awesome
and
so
one
I
appreciate
appreciate
you
and
and
every
every
citizen
that
will
have
an
idea
that
will
benefit
the
city.
As
you
can
see,
we'll
get
the
support
of
the
government,
because
the
government
is
pro
us
citizen.
AB
B
Terrific
one,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next,
on
the
public
agenda
is
ms
leshern
edwards,
representing
triumph
enterprises
regarding
the
denial
of
arp
grant
for
triumph
enterprises
due
to
the
business
being
home
based,
and
I
want
to
explain
something:
miss
edwards
you'll,
get
five
minutes
and
the
reason
there's
a
disparity
in
the
two
is
for
anything
that
council
can
take
action
on.
P
Good
day,
I
don't
know
this
afternoon
and
morning
to
the
distinguished
members
of
columbus
city
council.
My
name
is
lucerne:
beavers
edwards,
owner
of
triumph
enterprises,
a
home-based
marketing
and
promotion
company
located
here
in
columbus
georgia
triumph
enterprises
has
been
in
business
since
2014
and
specializes
in
sponsoring
trips
to
sports
and
other
entertainment
events.
P
P
Shutting
down
with
school
closings
with
death,
fear,
uncertainty,
pain
and
finances
depleting
triumph
enterprises
was
denied
the
arp
grant
because
it
is
home
based
and
its
expenses
could
not
be
distinguished
from
personal
or
business.
All
expenses
that
I
submitted
through
the
software
were
business
related.
P
The
columbus
chamber
of
commerce
and
the
neighborly
software,
where
business
expenses
were
were
submitted
in
accordance
to
the
instructions
that
were
given
triumph
enterprises
is
asking
the
city
council
to
reinstate
its
application
and
award
the
grant
based
on
the
following
facts.
P
P
According
to
the
neighborly
designers
of
the
software,
the
chamber
of
commerce
approved
the
design
of
the
software
number
two,
the
article
by
the
greater
columbus
chamber
of
commerce
states
that
68.3
percent
of
businesses
in
columbus,
georgia
are
remote.
I
was
stunned.
No
wonder
you
can't
get
any
employees
all
at
home.
I
was
stunned
by
that
number.
Columbus
is
number
four
in
the
south,
with
dalton
georgia
being
number
one
having
72.24.
P
P
B
All
right,
well,
mr
city
manager,
I
think
ma'am,
one
of
the
things
we're
doing
with
the
additional
grant
is
revisiting
some
of
the
rules.
We
got
those
from
the
federal
government.
I
think
when
we
first
started
dealing
with
the
cares
money,
so
we
did
recognize
that
it
it
maybe
unintentionally
narrowed
the
field
but
I'll.
Let
the
city
manager
explain
a
little
further
well.
K
Mary,
you
you're
you're
exactly
right
and
I
I
don't
disagree
with
anything
that
miss
edwards
has
said,
I
think
she's.
She
articulated
it
succinct
and
just
very
well,
and
you
know,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
in
you
know,
initially
we
received
approximately
four
point:
eight
million
dollars
for
small
business
grants,
nonprofit
grants
and
tourism
grants,
and-
and
you
know
we-
I
talked
to
staff
specifically
about
your
case
and
and
and
they
acknowledge
that
you
know
we
need
to
revisit
the
criteria
to
include
the
date.
K
K
We
want
to
go
back
and
revisit
the
the
decision
on
home-based
businesses
like
yours,
and
we
I've
even
talked
to
staff
about
revisiting
individuals
with
more
than
one
business,
at
least
a
business
of
a
different
category.
K
Like
you
know,
if
you've
got
30
hamburger
joints
and
they're
all
named
the
same
thing,
we
can't
give
you
30
small
business
grants
for
those
30
hamburger
joints
with
the
same
name.
But
if
you
have
a
small
business
that
let's
say
in
your
business
and
then
you
also
have
a
small
business,
that's
a
small
hamburger
joint.
There
are
two
different
businesses
and
there
it's.
You
can
distinguish
it
there
too.
K
We
don't
need
that
money
sitting
and
waiting
and
and
and
not
doing
what
we
need
to
do
to
keep
small
business
in
business.
K
Know
you
can,
and
so,
but
but
mayor
I
say
all
that
to
say,
as
you
have
challenged
us
mayor
to
revisit
and
and
we
are
about
to
do
that,
and
so
I
would
say
to
you,
you
know
it
won't
be
today,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that
we
are
going
to
revisit
and
we
are
going
to
because
I
ask
why
not
home
business
and
they
said
basically
what
you
said
to
me,
and
this
was
last
week
that
I
talked
to
them,
that
trying
to
distinguish
between
personal
expenses
and
business
expenses.
K
You
know
for
your
mortgage
or
your
rent
on
your
house,
your
home
versus
utility,
on
your
house,
your
home
and
and
of
course
I
don't
know
based
on
the
square
footage
you
use
for
office.
You
could
maybe
prorate
it
out
and
I
don't
know
how
that
works,
but
and
I'm
not
going
to
prolong
it.
But
I
want
to
say
to
you
mayor
and
council,
that
staff
will
be
revisiting
and
we
will
be
looking
at
home
based
businesses.
K
We
will
be
looking
at
the
the
changing
the
date
and
we
will
be
looking
to
make
sure
that
just
because
well,
if
you've
got
multiple
businesses
that
you
know
there's
an
opportunity
if
those
businesses
are
different
types
of
business,
okay,.
X
Thank
you.
I
have
a
home-based
business
and
have
for
the
last
10
years.
It's
very
easy
to
show
what
is
home-based.
You
know,
business
or
personal,
because
you
have
to
report
that
on
your
income
taxes,
and
so
she
should
be
able
to
provide
that
information
to
us
and
we
should
be
able
to
move
forward.
G
Yes,
this
conversation
has
been
had
before
you
came
forward,
but
I'm
glad
that
you
came
forward
and
did
it
so
well
in
explaining
it,
because
when
we
had
the
conversation
with
reinvestment,
what
was
mentioned
to
me
is
and
this
phase
we
have
to
follow
it
this
way,
but
we're
going
to
go
back
and
look
at
it.
So
there's
still
hope
for
you
to
receive
the
money
and
now,
knowing
there's
an
additional
4
million
dollars,
then
there
is
an
opportunity
for
you
now.
K
What
I
will
say
and
I've
challenged
staff
with
this,
I
would
say
that
she
would
not
have
to
submit
a
new
application,
but
if
something
is
missing,
we'll
let
her
know
and
I've
challenged
staff.
You
know,
we've
got
applications
that
are
there
that
are
incomplete
and
we
need
to
be
more
aggressive
about
call
reaching
out
to
say
your
e-verify
is
missing
and
once
you
get
it
in
your,
in
other
words,
a
checklist.
G
K
G
Also
because
I
know
there
are
some
businesses
that
was
missing
things
so,
but
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
give
credit
right
now,
because
I
think
rob
is
doing
and
and
the
team
is
doing
a
great
job
with
the
limited
of
personnel
and
the
amount
of
they
have
to,
because
you
have
to
understand
when
they
open
that
application.
G
They
have
to
go
step
by
step
by
step
and
they
have
to
go
back
and
verify
everything
that
the
person
put
it
could
take
an
hour
for
one
application
alone.
So
it's
a
it's
a
long
process,
but
it's
a
rewarding
process
at
the
end
so
publicly
to
rob
and
to
the
team.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
but
I
feel
better.
So
I'm
back
to
drive
you
crazy
and
get
back
out
there
in
that
community
and
see
what
we
could
do.
K
P
First
of
all,
had
they
told
me
or
if
any
of
the
paperwork-
and
I
read
very
well-
I'm
very
thorough-
I
could
go
through
a
manual
in
a
day
and
I
could
set
up
your
whole
organization
anyway.
When
I
read
the
paperwork,
if
it
had
said
we
will
not
do
home-based
business,
I
never
would
apply.
It
took
me
four
months
to
gather
the
documents
I
had
to
design
spreadsheets
on
each
one
of
my
expenses.
P
Then
you
have
to
download
it
and
upload
it,
and
that
depends
on
whether
your
computer
or
your
printer
decides
to
communicate
that
day.
Okay,
in
addition
to
that,
I'm
up
all
day,
l
and
I
had
to
go
buy
documents.
I
had
not
renewed
my
business
license
during
covert
19,
but
they
said
you
had
to
have
it
in
order
to
submit
it.
So
I
spent
my
last
350
dollars
to
buy
two
years
worth
of
business
licenses
just
to
submit
my
application.
K
P
Wasted
my
time
this
is,
I
started
this
in
january
here
this
is
june
and
then
I
cut,
and
then
I
was
I
I
contacted
the
congress
because
they
said
it
was
a
federal
mandate.
The
reason
why
you
all
denied
it
was
because
it
was
federal,
so
I
was
trying
to
find
the
language
so
that
I
would
better
understand
why
I
was
denied
and
then
they
said
well,
no,
it's
not
federalist
cities.
I
get
to
run
around
so
I
ran
around
okay.
So
here
I
am
today.
P
I
face
poverty
tomorrow
because
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
money
applying
for
something
that
I
know
I
qualified
for
and
in
in
and
and
the
instructions
are
vague
and
ambiguous
and
and
they
don't,
if
you
you
know
they
knit
once
you
get
it,
oh
well,
we
can't
just
nothing
personal
will
submit
it.
Not
one
penny.
I
can
stand
by
every
penny.
I
submitted
44
000
dollars
in
expenses
over
the
over
the
pandemic
because
I
acquired
a
business
capital.
P
P
I
wish
that
you
all
will
be
more
efficient
when
you
feel
that
when
you
or
give
grants
out
just
just
put
yourself
in
the
place
of
somebody
like
me,
I
didn't
get
a
home-based.
I
got
it
because
it
was
cheap.
My
house
was
paid
for
I
sacrificed,
so
I
didn't
have
an
overhead
until
I
had
retrofitting
done
to
the
house.
It
was
an
electrical
problem,
so
now
I
had
to
stay
somewhere
else
now
that.
P
P
How
long
will
it
take
you
all
to
do?
What
else
do
I
need
to
do?
I
qualify
for
all
this
stuff
and
y'all?
Don't
even
tell
people
just
tell
people
we're
not
going
to
take
this
and
we're
not
you
wait
till
we
go
through
all
of
this.
Then
you
come
back
and
say:
oh
well,
you
we're
not
going
to
do
this.
You
can
tell,
but
if
you
fashion
the
software
to
accept
it,
you
would
have
been
able
to
tell
the
difference.
P
K
But
but
I
do
miss
edwards,
I
I
do
want
deputy
city
manager
haas
to
have
a
conversation
with
you.
You
sound
like
you
need
to
be
working
for
us.
B
I
think
I
think
more
conversation
more
conversation
is
needed
to
try
to
understand,
because
if
other
folks
are
experiencing
these
same
types
of
issues,
we
got
to
get
them
fixed
right
and,
and
we
knew
it
was
going
to
be
a
work
in
progress.
We
that's
why
we
took
the
application
process
from
the
federal
folks.
We
used
what
they
had
used
prior
to,
and
we
have
since
discovered
that
that
there
are
some
inefficiencies
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
fixing.
So.
P
Put
hire
me
I'll
I'll,
set
it
up
right
I'll.
Do
that
see.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
man
for
your
presentation,
I'm
laughing
at
councillor,
woodson
cuz,
both
her
and
I
worked
with
director
scott.
Yes,
we
did
stop
checking,
but
you
do
need
someone
like
yourself.
I'm
my
background
is
I.t
and
when
you
you
want
to
make
sure
you
want
somebody
to
break
it,
that's
what
we
call
a
break
fix.
J
So
when
something
when
you
testing
anything
that
you're
putting
out
there,
you
get
someone
like
you,
we
want
you
to
break
it,
and
and
that's
that's
basically,
what
she's
showing
us
the
the
broken
part
that
we
have,
but
I'm
happy
that
you
know
just
hearing
what
you
said
in
reference
to
you
know
the
dates
and
I
ain't
even
I
don't
even
think
about
the
home
base
part
whether
you
know
having
something
big
and
bold.
K
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
have
challenged
staff,
you
don't
know
how
much
I
have
chastised
them
about.
K
B
P
You
so
much,
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
sending
this
city
looking
after
the
city
through
the
pandemic.
Thank
you.
K
B
K
Yes,
sir
and
so
item
number
two
mayor,
I
am
going
to
ask
rob
landers
to
come
up.
We
are
going
to
ask
for
a
vote
on
item
two,
but
I
wanted
him
to
share
some
information
with
you
first
and
then
it's
going
to
be
the
same
thing
with
item
number
three
on
my
agenda.
I'm
going
to
have
the
housing
authority
representatives
come
up
and
we
are
going
to
ask
for
a
vote
on
that
today,
so
ms
landers,
and
if
we
can
move
through
it,
this
is
scott
too
many
robs
around
here.
G
AC
We
were
diligent
and
we
went
to
work
to
implement
resources
to
help
develop
the
social
service
infrastructure
of
the
non-profit
agencies
that
we
partner
with
these
activities
include
a
wide
range
of
services
and
programs
such
as
affordable
housing,
public
facility,
emergency
housing,
operational
support
for
non-profits
and
supportive
services.
For
the
homeless.
AC
Our
strategic
priorities
are
to
increase,
create
and
sustain,
affordable
housing,
increase
suitable
living
environments
and
reduce
poverty
or
expand
economic
opportunity
and
fy
21.
There
was
roughly
six
million
dollars
in
entitlement
funds
made
available
to
the
city
two
and
a
half
million
of
those
entitlement.
Funds
were
for
cdbg
and
home.
AC
There
was
more
than
three
million
dollars
in
entitlement
funds
expended
across
the
three
grant
categories
during
fy21,
and
so
let's
just
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
cdbg
and
talk
about
overview,
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
success
stories.
Some
of
the
things
that
you
don't
get
to
hear
about
that
we
were
able
to
accomplish
so
the
city
of
columbus,
allocated
funds
for
various
community
development
projects
to
benefit
low
to
moderate
income
communities
and
persons.
AC
AC
AC
So
one
of
the
success
stories
that
we
had
is
through
one
of
our
partners:
neighbor
works
of
columbus.
We
work
with
neighborworks
to
acquire,
rehabilitate
and
sell
single-family
homes
to
income
eligible
home
buyers.
Repairs
often
include
thermal
moisture
protection,
blown
insulation,
significant
drywall,
repair
replacement,
windows,
front,
porch,
repairs,
rear
deck
repairs,
as
well
as
the
installation
of
flooring
amongst
other
items
to
bring
the
home
up
to
standard
for
these
homes.
AC
Neighborworks
columbus
decided
to
build
a
two-story
blue
home
to
pay
homage
to
the
historical
site.
The
woman
you
see
on
the
screen
is
the
home
buyer.
The
home
buyer's
pathway
to
home
ownership
started
with
a
suggestion
from
pastor
allen
at
the
bridge
church,
who
invited
neighborworks
to
his
church
to
present
a
homebuyer
seminar.
AC
The
home
buyer,
a
woman,
deeply
rooted
in
her
christian
faith
requested
that
they
bury
her
bible
given
to
her
by
her
late
father
in
the
homes
foundation,
the
home
buyer
was
quoted
as
saying
I'm
the
first
one
in
my
family
out
of
my
mother,
my
grandmama's
children
to
ever
own
a
home.
So
god
has
allowed
me
to
break
a
generational
curse.
AC
AC
She
was
living
in
an
apartment
where
her
kids
shared
a
room,
and
it
was
her
goal
to
find
a
home
that
she
could
give
everyone
their
own
space.
She
decided
to
apply
to
the
neighbor
works
columbus
home
ownership
program.
During
the
time
she
was
shown,
a
newly
renovated
home
in
the
north
highland
neighborhood
and
she
loved
it.
It
was
her
goal
to
get
settled
in
a
home
before
school
started.
AC
AC
Startup
columbus
is
an
organization
focused
on
cultivating
a
thriving
entrepreneurial
system.
They
were
our
partners
in
piloting
the
small
business
economic
grant
program
that
you
see
today.
AC
AC
The
pilot
went
well,
so
it
was
triplicated
and
funded
with
4.8
million
in
arp
funding
and
then
was
recently
awarded
4
million
in
state
arp
funding
to
bring
the
program
to
a
nine
million
dollar
program.
Today,
the
next
nonprofit
partner
success
story
is
feeding
the
valley,
so
the
mission
of
feeding
the
valley
is
to
gather
food
to
feed
the
hungry,
with
a
spirit
of
compassion,
good
stewardship,
dedication,
urgency
and
inclusiveness,
and
their
heart
of
their
mission
is
to
feed
hungry
people
feeding
the
valley.
AC
Food
bank
has
made
many
investments
in
this
commercial
kitchen
throughout
the
years
in
order
to
prepare
hot
meals
five
days
per
week
for
columbus
children
and
seniors
facing
hunger,
pre-pandemic
they're,
relying
on
styrofoam
containers
to
pack
their
meals
into
okay
to
adapt
and
continue
meal
delivery.
During
the
pandemic,
feeding
the
valley
invested
in
flash
freezing
and
meal
sealing
equipment
to
accommodate
the
need
to
make
more
single
rather
than
bulk
meals.
AC
This
program
design
has
helped
feeding
the
valley
increase
efficiencies
and
has
produced
extremely
high
outcomes
rather
than
delivering
hot
meals.
Five
days
per
week,
they
can
now
prepare
and
pack
enough
frozen
single
meals
to
serve
someone
for
a
week
and
deliver
them
one
time
weekly.
This
gives
family
and
seniors,
calm
and
hope.
Knowing
their
freezers
are
stocked
with
nutritious
food
for
the
week,
they
can
go
about
their
day
to
learn,
work
play
or
rest
and
not
have
to
worry
about
where
their
next
meal
is
coming
from.
AC
AC
AC
AC
Those
whose
results
were
positive,
became
informed
and
were
able
to
follow
a
prescription
of
quarantine
and
other
measures.
Mercy
med
rose
to
the
challenge
by
offering
a
comprehensive
quality
primary
health
care
program
for
covet
19
for
those
citizens
with
cdbg
funding
and
mercy,
med
of
columbus
leveraging
additional
funding
sources.
Testing
was
provided
to
more
than
10
000
citizens
during
the
pandemic,
mercymed
provided
testing
to
approximately
100
to
80
180
to
200
persons
per
day,
and
they
also
offer
rapid
testing.
So
patients
can
learn
if
they
are
positive.
AC
15
minutes,
in
addition
to
the
normal
48
hour
results,
so
that
was
a
quick
wrap-up
of
what
we
did
in
fy
21.
As
you
can
see,
we
were
extremely
busy,
but
nonetheless
we
have
some
outcomes
to
show
for
the
work
that
we
put
in
I'm
going
to
talk
about
our
current
year.
A
little
bit
our
organ,
our
department
collaborated
again
with
nonprofit
organizations,
as
we
do
annually
to
do
the
same
types
of
service.
You
know:
emergency
housing,
affordable
housing,
public
facility
and
infrastructural
things.
AC
AC
Some
of
the
successful
stories
that
we're
working
to
wrap
up
to
bring
back
and
tell
you
more
about.
I'm
excited
to
talk
about
girls,
inc
of
columbus.
AC
Another
great
partner
that
we
have
was
the
columbus
health
department
and
the
columbus
health
department
used
cv3
funds
to
purchase
a
mobile
unit
and
mobilize
a
traveling
team
that
provided
covet
services
in
hard-to-reach
communities
in
columbus,
rather
than
waiting
for
residents
to
come
into
the
health
department
for
services.
The
mobile
team
set
up
stations
and
neighborhoods
at
city
rec,
centers
parks,
seniors
housing,
as
well
as
public
housing,
homeless,
shelters,
school
parking,
lots
anywhere
that
they
could
to
be
able
to
help
meet
the
needs
of
the
citizenry.
AC
AC
The
mobile
recreation
unit
is
called
the
rolling
wreck
and
it
establishes
new
places
to
play
in
the
enrichment
of
current
play
opportunities
as
part
of
the
program,
children
will
have
the
chance
to
create
unique
art
projects,
play
a
game
of
basketball
soccer
as
well
as
so
much
more
all
in
a
fun
and
safe
environment.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
more
good
stuff
from
this
project.
AC
So
now
I'm
going
to
segue
a
little
bit
and
bring
this
thing
on
home
because
I've
been
talking
for
a
long
time
and
I'm
getting
tired.
So
let's
talk
about
where
we're
going
in
fy23,
we
still
have
the
same
ambition
and
the
same
passion
for
the
projects
that
we've
previously
done
in
prior
years.
AC
In
this
year,
we
are
looking
at
close
to
nine
million
dollars
in
entitlement
funds
being
made
available
to
the
city,
roughly
2.5
million
in
annual
entitlement
funds
through
cdbg
and
home,
and
roughly
3
million
in
specially
allocated
prior
for
year,
funding
and
a
new
round
of
funding
called
home
arp
funding
that
I'll
talk
briefly
about
in
one
of
the
upcoming
slides
okay.
So
in
fy23
we
received
a
total
of
23
public
service
applications.
AC
The
funding
requested
was
roughly
one
million
three
hundred
twenty
six
thousand
three
hundred
and
two
dollars.
It's
a
lot
ad
to
ask
for
close
to
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars,
so
we're
looking
at
five
times
the
ask
of
the
normal
allocation,
but
we
will
make
pragmatic
recommendations
to
you
so
that
way
you
can
make
those
determinations.
AC
We
received
four
total
applications
for
our
fy
23
home
funding
that
totaled
close
to
four
million
dollars,
and
there
we
only
have
a
million
dollars
so
again,
four
times
the
ask
of
what
our
normal
allocations
are,
and
one
other
thing
here
is
that
we
have
prior
year
funding
so
the
prior
year
funding
is
there's
close
to
three
million
dollars
in
prior
year,
funding,
which
we
hope
to
reprogram
to
projects
that
we
consider
shovel
ready.
AC
That
means
that
these
are
projects
that
are
ready
to
go
and,
as
close
as
you
can
see,
it's
close
to
three
million
dollars
and
reprogramming
allocated
funds
allows
a
continuance
of
projects
and
infrastructural
development
that
impacts
things
that
bring
you
a
girls
inc
things
that
bring
you
a
feed
in
the
valley,
things
that
bring
you
a
mercy,
med,
health
and
I'm
excited,
because
one
of
those
projects
that
you're
going
to
hear
from
they're
sitting
here
with
us
today
and
you'll
hear
from
them
shortly
is
that
with
the
housing
authority,
the
housing
authority
is
one
of
the
reprogrammed
projects.
AC
There
is
zero
percent
interest
loan
of
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That's
going
to
cover
a
term
of
35
years
and
that
project
is
expected
to
bring
90
new
units
to
of
senior
housing
to
the
city
of
columbus
80,
which
will
be
affordable,
10,
which
will
be
market
and
I'm
not
going
to
know
their
thunder,
I'm
just
going
to.
Let
them
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
AC
So
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
briefly
towards
the
end
now
about
home
arp.
So
on
march,
11
2021
president
biden,
signed
into
ar
signed
the
arp
bill
into
law.
It
provided
over
1.9
trillion
in
relief
to
address
the
continued
impact
of
coba
19
pandemic
on
the
economy,
public
health
state
and
local
governments,
individuals,
businesses,
communities
to
address
the
need
for
homelessness
assistant
in
support
of
the
services
congress,
appropriated
and
5
billion
in
arp
funds
to
be
administered
through
home.
AC
AC
AC
The
eligible
activities
are
to
develop,
affordable
rental
housing.
It
is
the
can
be
used
for
an
acquisition
and
development
of
non-congregate
shelter,
units,
tenant-based,
rental
assistance,
supportive
services,
I
explained
about
the
15
for
administrative
costs
and
also
eligible,
is
up
to
five
percent
for
operating
assistance
to
non-profits
carrying
out
home
arp
activities.
T
AC
Yes,
well
pre
before
we
come
back
to
get
our
fy
23
annual
action
plan
approved
we're
going
to
look
at
those
things
and
I'm
pretty
certain
that
that
would
be
something
that
you
could
see
in
a
recommendation.
T
Yeah
I've
received
several
phone
calls
on
roof,
repairs
and
windows,
yeah,
okay,
but
continue
to
do
the
great
job
that
you're
doing.
I
appreciate
you.
Thank
you.
B
All
right
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
for
approval.
Any
discussion
are
hearing.
None.
You
cue,
it
counselors.
Please
register
you
vote.
K
So
and
miss
mary
number
three
on
my
agenda
is
housing
authority,
btw,
south
phase,
one
award
letter
is
what
they're
asking
for
and-
and
I
want
them
to
share
a
little
bit
about
what's
going
on
at
btw,
their
consultant,
I
think,
was
not
able
to
make
it
had
a
health
something
going
on,
but
we
have
lisa
walters
here
and
laura
johnson
with
with
the
housing
authority
and
rob
just
scott
just
explained
to
you
kind
of
what
they're
going
to
be
doing
at
btw,
and
I
wanted
them
to
present
to
you
and
then
rob
is
actually
trying
to
well.
K
We
want
to
do
the
award
letter,
but
we're
also
wanting
to
use
community
development
block,
grant
and
home
investment
partnership
funds
in
the
amount
of
825
000
for
reprogramming
to
the
btw
south
phase,
one
affordable,
housing,
development
and
rob
mentioned
90
new
units,
10
of
which
would
be
market
rate.
But
this
would
do
the
area
across
from
the
civic
center
btw,
but
we've
got
lisa
walters
president
ceo
of
the
housing
authority
here,
and
you
want
to
share
something
with
us.
AD
AD
Over
the
past
few
months,
we've
been
working
with
kb
advisory
group
who's,
the
same
company
that
did
the
tad
for
columbus.
We
saw
also
been
working
with
lord
x
sergeant,
architects,
who
could
not
be
here
today.
He
thought
he
had
food
poisoning
so
we're
currently
partnering
again
with
columbia,
residential
who
has
been
our
partner
for
over
10
years.
We
want
to
submit
a
lie:
tech
application
to
dca
for
phase
one
of
the
btw
concept,
which
is
a
senior
housing
development
with
90
units,
and
it
will
cost
26
million
dollars.
AD
AD
For
this
project
we
need
an
award
letter
from
the
city
in
the
amount
of
900
000
to
obtain
at
least
one
additional
point
to
make
our
scoring
competitive.
If
we
could
get
1.8,
we
get
two
points.
If
we
could
get
2.7,
we
would
get
three
points,
and
last
year,
last
time
we
checked
on
our
scoring
compared
to
last
year's
we're
kind
of
at
the
bottom
of
the
range.
So
additional
points
would
really
make
a
difference
on
us
getting
that
tax
credit
award.
AD
K
AE
AE
He's
doing
a
wonderful
job
from
what
I
can
tell
okay,
so
I'm
going
to
start
out
the
presentation.
As
lisa
had
mentioned,
we
had
our
architect
all
scheduled
to
come
in.
Do
this
wonderful
presentation
on
his
concepts,
but
he
ended
up
with
food
poisoning
and
sent
me
a
message
at
4
11
this
morning
saying
he
could
not
make
it
so
now
you
were
all
stuck
with
me.
AE
AE
AE
So
for
this
we
had
a
lot
of
planning.
We
started
this
probably
october
of
last
year,
our
architects
and
our
kb
advisory
group,
and
all
of
them
came
to
town.
They
did
a
site
visit,
we
toured
btw
southside,
but
then
also,
I
think
all
of
you
may
be
aware
that
we
also
are
working
on
warren
williams
as
well.
So
we
try
to
do
this
as
a
two-fold
today.
AE
We're
presenting
btw
south,
but
hopefully
in
the
future,
we'll
be
coming
back
and
presenting
warren
williams
to
you
as
well,
but
they
came
out
and
they
did
site
visits.
They
looked
at
the
existing
conditions
of
the
properties,
the
locations
and
did
all
their
due
diligence
up
front.
We
held
stakeholder
meetings.
I
think
some
of
you
had
attended
some
of
our
meetings.
AE
AE
As
I
was
saying
earlier,
we
had
a
market
analysis
conducted
and
at
this
time
commercial
is
really
not
favorable
on
that
corner,
but
we're
hoping
that,
maybe,
by
the
time
we
actually
get
to
that
portion
of
this
project,
it
will
become
favorable
and
we
can
add
a
commercial
component
to
this
development,
mostly
we're
trying
as
we're
you
know,
trying
to
keep
up
with
the
historic
context
of
the
area.
Most
of
the
buildings
would
be
two-story.
AE
The
only
building
that
would
be
three-story
would
be
the
senior
building,
which
is
our
phase
one
building
which
we're
trying
to
do
as
this
initial
project
and
we're
trying
to
create
it
to
look
like
the
neighborhood.
We
don't
want
it
to
look
like
an
apartment
complex.
You
know
columbus
commons
looks
wonderful,
we're
trying
to
move
down
south
and
do
the
exact
same
thing
and
make
it
a
neighborhood
and
not
an
apartment.
AE
AE
One
way
we
would
do
that
is,
as
I
was
saying
earlier,
would
be
mostly
two
stories.
Only
the
senior
building
would
be
three
stories
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
senior
building
is
located
between
fifth
avenue
and
sixth
avenue,
so
it's
further
away
from
the
historic
district.
So
what
you
would
see
from
veterans
and
victory
would
be
more
of
the
two-story.
The
senior
building
would
be
tucked
back
on
the
northern
side
of
the
property.
AE
We
also
oh,
this
is
just
another
view
of
how
it
would
kind
of
look
at
a
compatible
scale
from
you
know,
compared
to
what's
already
existing
in
that
area.
AE
I
also
would
like
to
have
multiple
open
spaces
throughout
the
development,
with
small
pocket
parts
and
parks
and
courtyards,
and
then
also
activate
the
corner
of
veterans
and
for
and
public
veterans
and
victory
drive
with
public
public
plaza
for
pop-up,
retail
and
food
trucks
or
whatever
we
could
in
that
little
corner
right
there
on
the
corner
of
victory
and
veterans.
That
would
be
a
public
plaza
area.
AE
AE
We
would
start
out,
of
course,
with
the
senior
housing
which
would,
as
rob
had
stated,
would
be
90
units
80
of
those
would
be
affordable
to
to
individuals
who
are
at
60
or
below
ami
and
10
10
of
those
would
be
market,
but
then,
as
we
get
on
to
the
further
developments,
it's
all
kind
of
up
in
the
air
right
now.
We
don't
know
at
this
time
exactly
what
that
mixture
makeup
would
be,
but
we're
looking
at
it
being
very
mixed
income
and
very
mixed
use.
AE
We'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
we
do
want
to
preserve
the
trees
that
are
out
there
and
and,
of
course,
make
it
beautifully.
Landscaped
like
we
have
a
majority
of
our
other
properties.
AE
This
would
be
dependent
upon
the
future
market
conditions
and
it
would
be
small-scale
commercial
that,
I
guess
you
know,
coffee
shops.
You
know,
lawyers
offices,
insurance
agents,
something
like
that
reason
for
that
is.
We
were
hoping
that
you
know
we
could
attract.
Maybe
you
know
people
who
were
over
at
south
commons
or
somewhere
else
that
could
come
over
there.
You
could
have
a
coffee
shop,
something
like
that
on
that
corner.
AE
AE
And
again,
for
the
phasing
for
this
development
phase,
one
is
the
senior
1990
senior
units
that
we're
looking
to
put
in
a
tax
credit
application
on
this
thursday.
When
it's
due
and
phase
two
could
be.
We
have
two
options.
It
would
be
either
approximately
96
apartments
or
we
would
do
the
option
b,
which
would
be
approximately
84
apartments,
with
80
80
square
8,
000
square
foot
of
neighborhood
commercial
space
on
the
corner,
and
that
is
the
end
of
my
presentation.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions.
T
Huff,
if
you
could,
can
you
flip
the
presentation
back
to
the
layout
with
the
commercial
piece?
Yes
yeah
right
there,
so
this
is
victory.
Drive
here,
yes,
on.
AF
H
AE
B
All
right,
it
doesn't
appear
to
be
any
more
questions.
There
is
a
motion
to
approve
from
councillor
tucker.
Second
councilor
hoff,
any
discussion
councillor
thomas.
W
I
have
a
question
of
either
the
city
manager
or
the
deputy
city
manager.
You
said
earlier
that
the
the
900
000
that
you're
looking
for
would
be
paid
around
june.
The
23rd
that's
at
the
end
of
our
fiscal
year
would
would
this
be
budgeted
in
fiscal
23
and
perhaps
paid
in
24,
or
does
it
do
we
wait
to
budget
it
until
we
I'm
just
looking
for
a
timeline
there.
V
Yeah,
so
this
will
be
part
of
the
fy23
budget
either
in
the
adopted
budget,
but
typically
because
we
have
an
estimate.
So
what's
in
the
budget
for
cdbg
and
home
is
an
estimate
and
then
we
come
back
and
do
the
carryover
and
the
budget
amendment
sometime
in
the
end
of
the
year
first
of
the
year,
and
so
these
amendments
would
be
included
in
the
amended
budget.
V
W
E
Thank
you,
ms
johnson,
thank
you
so
much
for.
I
think
I
made
a
request
and
asked
you
to
send
me
some
some
information
and
looks
great.
I
mean
the
I've
always
said.
The
housing
authority
has
a
very
solid
operation.
Your
balance
sheet
and
financials
look
excellent.
It's
it's
amazing.
What
you're
able
to
do
over
there,
but
miss
city
manager?
I
think
we
use
the
term
just
correct
me.
E
If
I'm
wrong,
I
think
we
use
the
term
reprogram
which
I'm
okay,
with
the
other
one,
is
there's
some
type
of
a
similar
loan
structure.
Aspect
to
this
am
I
am
I
right
on
that
or
have
I
had
to
step
out
a
minute
ago
and
I'm
back,
but
I
don't
know
if
that
was
discussed
or
not,
but
that's
also
part
of
this
as
well.
It's
not
stated
in
the
you
know
up
here
in
the
on
your
minutes,
but
I
believe,
that's
you
know.
You
know.
V
Yes,
so
it
is
intended
to
be
a
zero
percent
interest
loan
from
the
housing
authority.
S
V
B
All
right,
no
other
questions,
so
if
you
would
cue,
there's
a
motion
in
a
second
already
on
the
table.
So
if
you
would
cue.
B
K
Merely
exciting
news
yeah,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
housing
authority
that
they
are
good
partners
with
us.
We
work
well
together
when,
when
we
call
lisa
laura,
I
mean
they
they
do
whatever
they
can
to
to
help
us
and
the
one
project
they
helped
us
on
recently
was
with
mount
peer
room
church
that
we
were
able
to
seal
the
deal
to
get
the
interchange
at
I-185
and
casita
road.
K
AD
K
X
B
B
H
B
K
We've
got
several
providers
there
c
we
are
going
to
bring
back
at
the
next
meeting
d
would
be
vans
for
public
works,
golf
courses
and
parks
and
rec
e
trade-in
and
purchase
of
weapons
for
the
police
department,
elf,
declaration
of
surplus
and
donation
of
self-contained
breathing
apparatus-
and
this,
of
course,
is
for
fire
mass
ready
mix,
cement
annual
contract
fire
truck
repair
of
engine
number
seven
is
h.
K
X
B
While
you're
there
a
quick
question,
because
we've
got
a
lot
of
folk,
my
dad
lives
right
next
door.
He's
almost
90.
he's
not
going
to
fill
that
can
in
a
year,
so
going
with
a
smaller
container
would
he'd
certainly
be
a
candidate
for
wanting
that?
How
will
they?
AH
What
we've
done
is
we
have
the
64
gallon
household
containers
on
order,
we're
waiting
for
them
to
come
in.
There
have
been
some
issues
with
the
manufacturer
and
delivery,
so
we're
still
waiting,
but
we
wanted
to
go
forward
with
the
delivery
of
the
standard
can
that
we
were
providing
for
everyone,
and
what
will
happen
is
when
residents
feel
that
they
cannot
handle
that
can
they're,
elderly
or
disabled
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
AH
B
K
And
drill
short
will
be
back
with
us
later
on
the
agenda
two
mayor.
So
if
there
are
other
questions
that
you
think
of
around
the
table,
she'll
be
able
to
answer
those.
AH
K
AH
B
All
right
all
right,
if,
if
you
would,
if
there's
no
further
questions,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye.
E
Mayor
well
we're
on
the
subject
and
I'm
you
know.
I
know
that
director
short
said
she'll
be
back
in
a
little
while,
but
don't
know
if
I'm
going
to
be
here
not.
I
just
want
to
ask
this
question.
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
answered
it,
but
these
cans
that
were
we're
putting
out
and
we're
going
with
for
an
obvious
reason.
But
what
happens
when
these
cans
start
wearing
out
or
breaking
down,
or
you
can't
use
them
anymore?
I
mean
who's
who's
responsible
for
those
cans.
K
K
K
Well,
I
I
I
can
tell
you,
I
don't
know
the
cost,
but
you
know
I've
got
a
property
in
phoenix
city
and
when
you
turn
your
water
on,
I
think
it
was
about
60
dollars.
They
charge
it
to
your
water
bill.
AH
AH
AC
E
K
So
but
we'll
we'll
have
to
decide
okay,
but
I
do
know
other
communities
charge
citizens
for
that
with
that,
mr
mayor
next,
the
finance
director
will
come
to
be
brief.
The
trade
center
has
an
update
and
it's
based
on
their
budget.
So
yes.
AH
AI
Good
afternoon,
mr
mayor
members
of
council,
mr
city
manager,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
the
trade
center
update,
that's
listed
on
the
agenda,
is
pursuant
to
ordinance
13-39
that
says
if
a
department
or
elected
office
is
subject
to
exceed
their
budgeted
appropriations,
they
must
come
before
this
council
and
ask
for
additional
appropriations,
and
you
know
I'll,
give
the
finance
report
a
little
later
on
this
afternoon.
But
you
know
the
as
ben
as
I've
reported
in
previous
meetings.
Trade
center
revenues
are
certainly
up
today.
AI
You
know
what'll
be
on
the
report.
It's
about
125
percent,
up
increase
as
opposed
to
fy
21.,
and
so
the
the
purpose
of
the
trade
center
being
here
today
is
much
like
the
civic
center
when
they
have
services,
convention
services
and
so
forth
that
they
receive
revenue
for.
Obviously
the
expenditure
side
is
offset
with
those
revenue
increases
as
well.
So
we
anticipate
to
get
us
through
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
22.
AI
about
a
1.5
million
budget
adjustment,
they're
already
up
about
a
million
over
a
million
dollars
in
revenue
right
now,
and
so
we
anticipate
about
100
about
1.5
million
to
get
us
through
the
end
of
fy
22
in
terms
of
a
budgetary
adjustment.
Again
this
is
revenues
over
expenditures,
and
so
that's
why
we're
here
today
in
order
to
pay
out
these
vendors
and
so
forth,
because
we've
received
the
monies
in
revenue,
we
need
to
come
to
council
and
ask
for
a
budgetary
increase,
so.
B
Motion
and
a
second
to
approve
any
discussion
to
the
motion,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
opposed
great
job.
I
mean
just
exceeding
pre-pandemic
earning.
B
I
mean
putting
us
on
the
map
we
were.
You
know.
I
looked
at
some
of
the
spots
where
we
had
the
was
it
the
north
african
land
forces.
Oh.
AJ
Angelica,
thank
you
so
much.
It
takes
a
team
all
around
to
be
able
to
do
what
we're
doing.
I've
always
dreamed
that
we
would
be
able
to
start
recruiting
international
conferences.
I
just
didn't
think
it
was
going
to
be
doing
a
recovery
year
and,
as
mayor
mentioned,
we
had
back
in
march
40
countries
top
ambassadors
from
africa
in
our
building
for
a
solid
two
weeks
and
to
be
able
for
our
team
to
perform
that
to
the
standard
we
did.
I'm
proud
of
them,
I'm
proud
of
the
city
of
columbus,
and
this
is
only
the
beginning.
AJ
It's
coming.
I've
been
back
here,
working
on
emails
since
I
got
in
here
this
morning,
and
people
are
hearing
about
columbus
and
we're
ready
to
show
them
what
we're
made
of
so.
Thank
you
for
the
trust
that
you
have
with
our
employees
and
what
we
get
to
bring
to
the
table
every
single
day
and
thank
you
to
angelica
and
many
people
around
this
table
who
have
helped
and
supported
me
during
this
journey,
because
it's
only
beginning
well.
W
H
W
That
that
is
largely
responsible.
You
are
largely
responsible
for
that
and
the
staff
that
you
work
with.
They
are
very
accommodating
they,
they
know
their
business,
and
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
you
know
that
we
appreciate
the
the
work
that
you
have
done
at
the
infantry
at
the
civic.
Oh
shoot,
that's
great
trade.
K
W
I'll
get
it
sooner
or
later,
you
could
have
those
other
two
if
you
want,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
how
much
we
appreciate
all
that
you
do.
AJ
K
Y
Good
afternoon,
mayor
of
members
of
council
city
manager
hope
to
give
a
really
quick
update
this
morning
on
what
the
summer
looks
like.
As
you
know,
kids
got
out
of
school
last
week,
and
so
this
is
first
official
week
of
summer
for
kids
in
our
community,
so
just
wanted
to
give
the
community
as
well
as
you,
an
update
on
some
offerings
that
the
kids
will
have
for
this
summer.
So,
like
I
said,
I'm
going
to
try
to
be
as
brief
as
possible
and
just
give
you
the
highlights.
Y
Okay.
So,
as
you
know,
we
started
in
2019
with
our
passport
to
summer
passport
to
columbus.
That
is,
where
our
offerings
for
kids
to
have
free
activities
or
reduced
activities
we're
doing
that
again.
This
year
we
are
roughly
at
about
5
000
passes
that
we
have
produced
to
date
and
of
that
about
70
percent
of
those
are
in
the
hands
of
our
community,
and
so
every
day
we're
continuing
to
have
to
print
more.
I
know
counselor
tucker
and
I,
as
we
we
talked
last
week
about
it.
Y
We
printed
another
thousand
since
you
and
I
spoke
and
we've
given
those
out
as
well.
So
the
continuation
of
that
is
a
great
program
for
our
community.
We
picked
up
some
new
partners,
as
you
can
see
here,
some
of
the
things
that
we're
offering
just
a
lot
of
activities
for
kids
to
keep
them
busy
at
reduced
or
free
for
the
summer,
also
free
transportation
for
them,
and
a
lot
of
places
that
to
make
it
accessible
for
parents
and
families
and
guardians
to
pick
up
those.
Y
So
these
are
the
locations
they
can
pick
those
up
anytime
during
those
operating
hours,
so
super
excited
to
give
families
that
opportunity
and
a
lot
of
people
are
taking
advantage
of
it.
Also
we're
working
on
our
night
ballers
program.
You
guys
have
heard
from
cure
of
the
violence.
We've
been
working
with
them
as
well
to
have
this
program
during
the
summer
for
our
guys
to
play
on
fridays
and
saturdays.
Y
Y
We
are
offering
two
summer
camps
this
summer
and
our
summer
camps
have
been
full
since
about
the
second
week
of
april,
wish
we
could
offer
more,
but
unfortunately,
as
to
the
staffing
shortages
that
we
have.
Those
were
the
only
ones
that
we
were
able
to
offer
this
summer,
but
both
of
those
camps
are
full
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
visited
one
first
thing
this
morning
and
had
a
lot
of
happy
kids
outside
running
around
playing
and
doing
all
kinds
of
activities
for
the
summer.
Y
Y
So
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
kids
to
to
continue
to
be
fed
during
those
during
the
summer
months,
so
want
to
encourage
parents
the
chance
to
make
sure
they
take
advantage
of
it,
because
it
is
something
that's
offered
in
our
rec
centers
and
I
think
sometimes
parents
aren't
aware-
and
so
we
make
sure
we've
been
doing
this
for
probably
about
25
years
at
least,
and
so
this
is
just
another
reminder,
and
these
are
going
to
go
by
really
fast.
But
a
lot
of
times.
We
hear
that
the
community.
Y
We
are
offering
things
and
there's
just
not
enough
for
our
kids
to
do
so.
This
part
will
be
really
quick,
but
I
wanted
to
give
examples
of
activities
and
things
that
parents
can
sign
up
for.
All
they
have
to
do
is
go
out
on
our
social
media,
go
to
their
local
recreation
center
and
look
because
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities.
Parents
just
need
to
take
the
chance
and
sign
up.
Every
summer
we
have
july's
parks
and
recreation
month.
Y
It's
an
nrpa
national
recreation
parks,
association
program
we
partner
every
year
and
do
that
program
throughout
our
rec
centers
in
the
month
of
july.
Here's
just
some
examples
of
what
we're
doing
for
july
at
on
specific
sites,
here's
a
little
bit
more
luau
parties
and
all
kinds
of
activities
pottery.
We
have
pottery
going
for
adults.
I
just
highlighted
the
kids
portion
here
for
parents
to
see,
but
there's
pottery
programs
all
summer,
long
at
very
low
cost,
multiple
classes
for
kids
to
come
out
and
do
cultural
arts
during
the
summer
that'll
be
all
summer
long.
Y
Sports
kids
are
looking
to
want
to
play
sports
there'll,
be
sports,
going
on
at
shirley
winston
park
all
summer.
That's
just
one
example
again
I
couldn't
show
you
everything.
I
just
tried
to
show
you
some
of
the
things
that
we'll
have
going
on
for
the
summer
computer
programs
at
fluella
national
night
out
many
of
you
I've
seen
over
the
years
and
and
ride
alongside
you
in
august
for
national
night
out,
so
we're
already
planning
for
national
night
out
come
august,
so
jump
in
a
little
head.
Y
I
know,
but
we
do
plan
at
least
six
months,
usually
in
advance,
and
so
these
are
just
some
things
we'll
have
going
on
in
august
and
then
a
few
more
programs
just
activities
that
kids
can
do
tick.
Tock
kids
are
into
social
media
and
tick
tocks,
so
trying
to
get
kids
to
come
in
and
do
things
that
they're
going
to
do
normally
cooking
classes,
mommy
and
me
father
and
son.
Y
But
this
you
know,
gives
you
an
idea
of
some
of
those
activities:
fishing
freedom,
fridays
trying
to
give
kids
a
chance
to
come
out
and
discuss
their
problems
and
discuss
issues
in
society
today.
So
a
lot
of
different
options,
more
sports,
more
gaming
activities,
things
that
are
indoors
when
it
starts
to
get
super
hot
in
the
summer.
Kids
can
come
inside
and
do
some
indoor
activities,
and
so
this
is
carver
park
couple
of
things
they're
going
to
have
going
on
more
stem
science.
Y
So
we
really
continue
to
work
with
those
ladies
across
the
community,
not
just
at
one
facility
but
at
multiple
facilities
to
really
work
with
our
youngsters
and
our
teens
here
in
our
facilities
to
keep
keep
positive
things
instead
of
the
negatives
again
we're
back
to
school
parties,
community
champions-
and
that
is
my
presentation.
Sorry,
I
had
a
lot
to
give
you
guys
this
morning,
but.
Y
Just
wanted
to
show
you
a
lot
of
the
good
things
that
we
have
going
on,
and
this
is
by
no
chance
all
of
the
things
that
we're
offering,
but
I
really
wanted
the
community
to
have
a
chance
to
get
a
full
kind
of
vision
of
the
fact
that
we're
a
very
diverse
department.
We
don't
just
do
sports
we're
not
just
one-sided.
We
do
a
lot
of
different
things
and
kind
of
evident
from
the
different
programs.
B
T
Y
T
Okay,
good
job,
good
job
question:
if
there
are
in
your
programs
that
are
full,
are
they
full
because
of
capacity
or
because
of
budget.
H
Y
Be
able
to
offer
more
of
it
right
now,
it's
a
staffing
more
so
than
it
is
anything
else,
hopefully
in
the
time
to
come,
that
we'll
be
able
to
get
more
staff,
we'll
grow
the
programs
back,
but
currently
right
now
we
are
meeting
our
state
mandates
based
on
ratios,
and
so,
whenever
we're
full.
It's
based
on
the
ratios
that
we
have.
T
Y
Just
to
continue
to
try
to
have
parents
send
their
kids
to
our
rec
centers.
We've
noticed
after
covid,
parents
have
been
as
many
people
are
a
little
timid
about
coming
back
and
I
think
that's
been
part
of
it.
We're
starting,
of
course,
with
this
week
being
summer,
starting
to
see
kids
come
and
hope
that
that's
a
good
trend
and
just
encourage
your
community
constituents
send
their
kids
to
the
rec
centers.
That
way
the
kids
are
engaged.
Y
Y
J
Y
We
really
appreciate
that.
I
know
so
many
of
you
guys
promote
our
programs
for
us.
I
see
it
because
I
help
manage
our
social
media
sometimes,
and
so
I
know
there's
more
than
half
of
you
that
share
our
things.
Thank
you
so
much
because
that
means
a
lot
that
helps
us
to
get
the
word
out
to
get
kids
or
seniors
or
whoever
it
is
to
be
involved
in
our
programs,
and
that
really
really
means
a
lot
to
us,
because
that's
what
we
do
it
for
we
want
our
citizens
to
be
engaged
and
be
involved.
B
G
Y
Type
activities
I
apologize
like
I
said
I
was
just
trying
to
get
as
many
as
I
could
same
type
activities
are
going
on
at
frank
chester
as
well
as
well
as
boxwood
and
some
of
the
others.
I
just
for
time.
First
time's
sake,
I
just
couldn't
put
them
all
up
here.
Same
type,
things
they've
got
same
amazing
activities,
same
programs
same
things
that
the
others
are
offering
all
those
same
type
things
all
summer,
long
as
well
as
summer
lunch
as
well.
G
Okay,
I
heard
taisha
has
the
presentation?
Does
she
have
the
other
ones
that
I
can
get
from
her
too?
That
shows
what's
going
on
at
frank
chester,
yes,
okay,
because.
Y
G
That
we
can,
I
can
promote
it
out
there
more
and
stuff
and
I'll
be
working
with
it
here,
a
little
bit
closer
because
I'm
trying
to
engage
our
latino
community
a
little
bit
more
and
arp.
Really
they
are
probably
small
business,
really
open
some
trust
and
some
confidence,
and
I
want
to
keep
that
mechanism
going.
E
Thanks
mayor
director
brad,
I'm
just
going
to
take
a
moment,
I'm
going
to
do
a
little
bragging,
but
also
highlight
some
other
things.
I
know
you're
talking
to
you
talking
about
summer
programs
and
all,
but
I
just
want
people
to
remember,
there's
so
many
other
programs
that's
going
on
as
well,
and
I
you
know
our
parks
and
rec's
department
is
just
amazing.
E
I
mean
it's
amazing,
I
you
know
I'm
I
I'll
go
out
a
limb
and
say
that
that
we've
got
one
of
the
best
parks
and
wrecks
set
up,
not
only
facilities
across
the
board
and
opportunities
for
our
youth
and
kids
and
adults
across
the
board,
probably
best
in
the
southeast,
but
not
I'll,
just
say
the
country,
but
y'all
do
such
a
fantastic
job,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
bring
up
today
and
talking
about
the
other
programs.
E
Councilor
allen
and
I
both
have
got
to
enjoy
our
grandchildren
participating
leagues
and
now
I'm
getting
back
involved
again.
When
I
raised
my
kids,
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
out
there
at
woodrow
farms,
but
now
I'm
getting
back
out
there
again
and
teaching
some
of
the
things
that
I
I
used
to
do
and
it's
it's
fun.
But
not
only
am
I
doing
that,
but
I'm
raking
fields
and
you
know
putting
band-aids
on
kids
when
they
get
hit
by
the
balls
and
all
that
kind
of
counselor
huff.
E
You
know
what
I'm
talking
about
counselor
alan,
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
and
I
just
witnessed
the
the
I've
always
known
about
the
city
playoffs.
It
just
happens
to
be
in
baseball,
but
I
just
witnessed
in
you
know,
in
in
some
of
the
most
inclement
weather
you've
seen
you
know
with
storms
on
the
horizon
light
and
every
well
no
lightning.
I
can't
say
that,
but
people
just
flocking
around
wanting
to
see
their
kids
play
sports
and
the
people
getting
involved
just
making
the
difference
our
public-private
partnership
there.
E
How
do
we
show
these
people,
these
volunteers?
What
I
call
volunteers
for
youth
programs
and
all
out
there
and
they're
everywhere,
they're
all
over
the
city
and
some
of
them
you've
probably
never
seen
their
face
before
you
don't
even
know
their
name,
but
they're
there
and
they're
just
doing
so
much
I
mean
whether
it's
taking
their
own
personal
equipment.
You
know
I
did
that
just
to
get
a
kids,
I
feel
ready
for
a
kid
to
play.
E
You
know
taking
my
blowers
and
my
all
my
equipment
out
there
to
try
to
help
get
the
get
the
fields
ready
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we
show
appreciation?
I
mean
really?
How
do
we
take
the
opportunity
to
show
appreciation
because
sometimes
I
just
feel
like
they
there's
a
big
burden,
that's
being
carried
in
and
you
know
we
got
to
keep
that
connectivity.
E
If
we
want
to
keep
these
programs
in
our
community,
I
mean
parks
and
recs
can
only
do
so
much,
but
the
communities
carrying
the
other
side
of
it
and
how
do
we
keep
that
connection?
And
you
know
let
these
people
feel
valued
and
these
volunteers
feel
valued
for
the
sake
of
our
children
and
these
opportunities,
and
you
know
you
can
call
what
you
want
to
you-
can
call
you
sports,
you
can
call
it
crime
prevention,
you
can
call
it.
E
E
I
hope
we
can
really
look
at
that
and-
and
I
know
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
some
things
here
in
about
a
week
about
well
the
upcoming
meeting
and
I
hope
we
can
maybe
find
a
way
to
lend
some
more
support
in
that
area
to
to
to
address
some
of
these
areas,
especially
on
the
field
and
the
the
field
and
the
the
the
to
to
allow
for
these
kids
to
to
keep
keep
doing
what
they're
doing
and
the
parents
feeling
like
they're
they're
being
supported,
and
doing
that.
E
I
hope
we
can
focus
on
that.
I
mean
it's
a
big
subject,
but
you
know
the
city
manager
and
some
of
your
brainstorming
meetings.
Maybe
y'all
can
just
how
do
we
do
this?
You
know
I
don't
know
if
we've
ever
done
it
before,
but
maybe
maybe
we
need
to
just
hey,
I'm
just
going
to
say
simple.
Maybe
we
just
need
to
have
a
big
party,
I
don't
know,
but
you
know,
maybe
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
try
to
try
to
help
there.
Thank
you.
E
Y
No,
but
I
do
if
you
can
indulge
me
for
just
another
moment,
miss
goodwin
reminded
me.
I
had
a
video
that
I
really
wanted
to
show
this
morning
just
to
remind
folks
of
kind
of
where
we
are
regards
to
summer
and
aquatics.
I've
come
up
before
this
year
as
a
matter
of
fact
and
talked
about
lifeguards
in
our
pools
and
things
like
that
and
kind
of
what
our
numbers
look
like,
and
so
you
ask
how
you
can
help
we
need
lifeguards.
We
continue
to
need
lifeguards
right
now.
Y
We
need
at
least
seven
outdoor
lifeguards,
nine,
indoor,
lifeguards
and
eight
concessionaires,
and
you
guys
we
opened
the
pool
last
weekend,
so
we
are
still
struggling
and
can
use
some
assistance,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
bruce
if
you
don't
mind
mr
c
manager,
if
we.
B
Can
play
the
video
you
know
watching
the
national
news
this
morning.
They
did
a
little
short
thing
that
it's
a
nation.
That's
what
you're.
AA
The
american
lifeguard
association
reports,
the
shortage,
could
impact
close
to
300
000
pools
across
the
country.
In
fact,
the
organization
says
around
a
third
to
nearly
half
of
the
pools
will
likely
be
affected.
Cities
across
the
country
are
combating
the
problem
by
keeping
pools
and
beaches
closed
experts
blame
a
number
of
issues
for
the
shortage,
including
low
pay,
training
costs
for
limited
working
season,
and
the
lack
of
interest
completes
due
to
the
payment
all
right.
Y
This
morning-
and
it
tied
in
very
well
would
be
coming
to
present
today,
but
just
would
encourage
the
community.
We
are
definitely
looking
for
more
lifeguards
and
concessionaires
for
the
summer
for
us,
unlike
many
departments
that
only
need
lifeguards
in
the
summer,
you
guys
know
we
have
the
aquatic
center
next
door,
we're
always
looking
for
lifeguards
year-round.
So
it's
always
a
struggle
for
us,
but
this
year,
or
even
more
so
than
normal.
Y
Normally
we
have
hundreds
of
lifeguards.
This
year,
we've
not
had
very
many
to
apply
at
all
and
we
are
our
own
training
facility.
So
we
do
that
ourselves.
We
don't
have
to
go
outside,
so
that
makes
our
jobs
a
little
easier,
but
we
just
need.
We
need
youth
who
are
willing
to
work
and
are
looking
for
summer
jobs.
Y
J
J
Y
G
Holly,
I
know
you
have
other
things
to
do
real
quick,
but
I
want
to
ask
you:
do
you
have
like
a
flyer
on
that
about
the
job
in
the
concession?
Can
you
send
it
to
me
and
I
can
put
it
on
my
facebook?
Yes
and
then
I
can
put
it
out
every
day
and
see
if
we
can
get
someone
to
catch
on
to
it
and
city
manager.
Do
we
have
that
on
our
access
channel
or
can
we
where
we're
looking
for
lifeguards
and
concessions.
Y
I
believe
it's
already
out
there.
We
had
a
flyer
that
we
use
for
so
we
did
targeting
this
year
targeting
social
media
trying
to
solicit
younger
individuals.
Obviously,
social
media
seems
to
be
the
avenue,
so
we
did
a
lot
of
targeting
facebook
ads
and
social
media
ads
specifically
to
that
age
group.
So
we
have
a
flyer
that
we
not
only
use
there,
but
we
also
went
to
local
high
schools
and
talked
to
their
school
assemblies
and
talked
to
the
kids
at
lunch,
as
well
as
other
job
fairs.
Okay,.
K
So
next,
just
a
quick
update
on
the
mayor's
summer,
employment
program
for
youth.
K
Howard
pendleton
workforce
investment
office.
AG
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council
said
the
manager,
I'm
just
here,
to
bring
a
brief
update.
As
you
notice,
the
mayor
has
a
summer
youth
jobs
program.
He
tries
to
do
every
year
this
year,
we're
partnering
with
the
urban
league
of
columbus
they've
gotten
a
new
director,
mr
mosley,
so
he's
trying
to
get
more
involved
in
the
community.
AG
So
right
now
we're
we're
they're
they're
going
to
handle
the
life
skills
part
and
the
the
soft
skills
for
the
for
the
people
that
we're
going
to
place
into
the
program
we're
going
to
try
to
hire
about
51
kids
this
year
at
14
000
an
hour.
We
expanded
the
age
group
this
year
to
from
six
to
16,
to
24,
to
try
to
broaden
to
get
more
people
to
participate.
AG
The
program
was
supposed
to
start
this
coming
monday
from
june
the
6th
to
run
through
july,
the
22nd.
As
I
said,
it
will
be
14.
They
work
20
hours
a
week
for
six
weeks
at
different
sites
around
the
city.
Hopefully,
we'll
be
working
some
with
holla
and
her
group
with
the
parks
and
rec
area
also,
but
this
is
just
something
we're
trying
to
do
to
make
sure
we
help
give
the
kids
something
to
do
and
also
give
them
a
little
income
in
their
pocket.
AG
B
Thank
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
howard
for
his
work
on
this.
He
and
his
team
have
done
a
great
job.
I
mean
that
that
16
to
24
age
group
is
what
they
term
the
disengaged
youth.
They
don't
have
a
job,
they
don't
have
a
school
that
they're
involved
in
and
those
are
the
ones
that
end
up
getting
in
trouble
on
after
hours.
So
thank
you.
K
So
next
I've
got
a
tax
digest,
update
from
suzanne
whitehouse,
our
chief
appraiser.
AF
So
good
afternoon,
mr
mayor
council,
mr
city
manager,
just
wanted
to
come
back.
I
was
here
a
couple
weeks
ago
to
talk
about
getting
notices
out
and
the
delay
in
the
getting
the
last
of
the
values
out.
So
the
notices
are
out,
our
printer
was
extremely
efficient
and
they
actually
started
hitting
mailboxes
before
the
date
on
the
notice,
so
our
our
printer
had
them
out.
AF
So
I
got
mine
on
saturday
they're
dated
for
today
they're
out
there,
so
we
sent
out
70,
480
real
property
notices
and
we
sent
out
5780
personal
property
notices.
AF
Out
of
the
total
number
of
real
property
notices
that
we
sent,
we
had
sixty
six
thousand
three
hundred.
AF
AF
Those
are
businesses,
boats,
airplanes
and,
and
then
I've
broken
down.
Some
of
the
differences
between
residential
and
commercial,
fair
market
value
of
residential
increased
9.33
percent
and
the
fair
market
value
of
commercial
property
increased
7.72
percent.
Now,
once
we
take
out
exemptions
out
of
that,
because
some
of
the
increases
involved
tax-exempt
properties,
they
get
a
look
at
as
well,
so
the
overall
increase
in
value
after
we
remove
exemptions
was
7.26
percent.
AF
So
the
notices
of
assessment,
the
appeal
period-
is
a
45
day
period
that
has
started.
It
will
run
through
the
end
of
business
day
on
july
15th.
That
is
a
friday.
AF
Notices
of
appeal
have
to
be
in
my
office
by
five
o'clock
friday
july
15th,
or
they
must
be
postmarked
through
either
the
post
office
fedex
ups
by
july
15th.
Just
a
reminder:
we
don't
accept
metered
mail,
it
has
to
be
counter
stamped,
so
we
have
actual
proof
of
mailing
appeal
forms
are
available.
You
can
either
either
in
person
in
my
office
or
online,
and
also
on
my
page
of
the
city's
website.
We
have.
AF
K
Well,
thank
you.
Ma'am,
very
good,
appreciate
that
update
thanks.
Next
may,
I've
got
arp
small
business,
non-profit
tourism
grants
that
rob
scott
is
here
and,
of
course,
deputy
city
manager.
Hodge
is
here
as
well.
AC
Good
afternoon
again,
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
and
give
you
an
arp
grant,
update
okay,
so
start
off
by
talking
about
a
little
bit
of
the
arp
grant
history.
So
in
late
2020
it
was
piloted
with
an
initial
investment
of
120
000
in
cdbg
cv
funding
in
late
2021.
The
pilot
was
triplicated
and
diversified
to
include
nonprofit
and
hospitality
tourism
components.
AC
In
terms
of
the
for-profit
grant,
I'm
going
to
be
providing
an
update
to
you
today.
As
of
may
27th,
there
were
a
total
of
634
applications
of
as
of
that
date
of
those
634
70
have
been
approved,
25
applications
have
been
denied
and
506
business
applications
are
currently
in
progress,
with
22
being
under
review
by
the
chamber.
AC
AC
AC
Total
amount
of
funding
qualified
after
the
initial
review
is
just
short
of
half
a
million
dollars.
Half
a
million
dollars.
The
total
amount
disbursed
is
close
to
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars,
and
currently
there
are
nine
applications
pending
disbursements
in
the
amount
of
199
000
and
one
is
under
review
now
for
25k.
AC
AC
AC
Some
of
those
things
include
lack
of
eligibility
for
home-based
businesses,
as
we've
heard
expressed
on
the
public
agenda
this
morning,
increasing
the
maximum
employee
threshold
to
50.,
there's
consideration
and
discussion
around
expanding
the
eligibility
criteria
to
include
businesses
that
started
after
march
1st
2019
and
operational
retrofitting
completed
by
the
applicant,
which
is
something
like
a
home
repair.
But
it's
for
business.
AC
Some
of
the
outreach
efforts
that
we
are
working
on,
making
sure
that
people
understand
the
information.
I
was
tentatively
scheduled,
we're
working
with
the
juneteenth
unity
week
committee
to
set
up
a
juneteenth
unity
week,
economic
empowerment,
opportunity
where
the
chamber
as
well
as
myself,
will
create
a
space
and
let
people
come
in
and
apply.
Let
people
come
in
and
ask
the
questions
that
they
can't
ascertain
from
reviewing
the
program
overview
for
the
respective
grants.
AC
We've
been
working
on
email
correspondence
to
those
applicants
in
progress.
As
you
can
see,
there
are
significant
number
of
applicants
in
progress
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
trying
to
close
the
gap
so
that
we
can
see
more
of
those
in-progress
applications
become
applications
that
have
been
submitted
and
then
and
also
we've
been
communicating
that
there
will
be
additional
opportunities
for
assistance
in
the
future.
Things
like
neighborhood
workshops
or
coming
into
public
spaces
to
be
able
to
help
people
get
connected
to
this
amazing
opportunity.
K
We've
got
to
have
movement,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
need
a
checklist
that
we
can
as
soon
as
we
determine
that
something
is
missing.
K
J
Thank
you,
director,
scott,
in
reference
to
I'm
gonna,
say
all
the
allocations
of
funds,
it's
multi-year,
so
I'm
saying
multi-year,
meaning
that
we
have
until
I
think,
2026
to
actually
use
all
these
funds.
I
know
we
want
to
use
them
because.
J
Know
we
want
to
use
them
quickly,
but
I'm
always
thinking
that
we
have
until
20
24
to
actually
have
this.
Well,
we
already
set
it
aside.
We
know
what
we're
going
to
spend
his
money
on,
but
we
have
until
that's.
J
J
J
K
J
J
He
needs
more
people,
he
needs
some
help.
I
don't
know
if
we,
if
it's
using
part
of
the
grant
funds
to
actually
get
him.
You
know
some
help,
but
he
needs
some
help
because,
even
though
you
know
he
thinks
he's
polo
superman.
J
I
had
to
make
him
laugh,
but
he
does
need
some
help.
I
mean
he
can't
and
tiffany
knew
something.
I
appreciate
her.
I
call
her
and
thank
you
for
helping
miss
annette.
I
appreciate
you
going
I
mean
rob
is
going
to
the
business
owner.
You
know
I
will
call
he
will
get
in
his
vehicle
and
drive
to
them
and
help
help
them
and
also
the
chamber
when
josh
was.
You
know,
working
with
the
chamber
going
to
speak
to
mr
runzell
buckner
and
other
people.
J
K
AH
Thank
you,
sir
good
afternoon.
Everyone
I'm
going
to
be
very
brief,
because
I
know
it's
been
a
long
day
so
far,
but
I
am
here
to
give
you
a
very
brief
update
on
waste
collection
and
where
we
are
right
now
we'll
talk
about
our
critical
vacancies.
That's
just
been
plaguing
us
we'll
talk
about
inmates,
our
contractor,
which
is
amwaste,
we'll
discuss
our
yard
waste
collection
service,
our
vendor
collection
service,
as
well
as
we'll
summarize
it
up
for
you.
AH
So
since
the
last
time
I
came
before
you,
we
have
hired
eight
waste
equipment
operators
which,
for
us
is
like
gold.
We
got
eight
more
in
and
and
they're
in
training
right
now.
We
hope
to
have
them
actually
on
a
truck
by
themselves
by
the
middle
of
this
month.
So
we
have
just
really
been
working
hard
in
trying
to
find
these
individuals
we're
hopeful
that
the
pay
plan
when
it
comes
to
fruition,
that
it
will
do
us
justice
and
allow
us
to
not
only
hire
more
but
to
retain
the
ones
that
we
have.
AH
Right
now,
just
so
that
you
have
an
idea
of
what
we're
dealing
with,
we
have
92
positions
in
waste
management
for
drivers.
That's
57
and
household
eight
are
assigned
to
recycling
and
27
to
yard
waste.
What
we
actually
have
filled
right
now
is
42
in
household
8
and
recycling,
and
only
11
in
yard
waste,
and,
as
we've
talked
in
the
past
during
the
day
to
day
of
waste
collection,
you
will
have
individuals
that
will
call
out
sick
or
they're
out
for
scheduled
reasons
or
unscheduled
reasons.
AH
We
still
have
to
make
up
those
drivers
to
ensure
we
have
enough
people
to
pick
up
the
trash
on
a
daily
basis.
So
that's
just
giving
you
an
update
on
that.
So
what
are
we
doing
to
help
ourselves
with
this
critical
vacancy
that
we're
dealing
with
we're
still
working
our
recruitment
strategies?
We
are
still
attending
every
possible
job,
fair
that
is
available
to
us.
We're
also
still
advertising
with
not
only
ccg
but
also
with
swanna
and
apwa.
AH
We
still
have
our
billboards
out.
You
may
have
seen
them,
they
say
join
our
team.
We
have
our
qr
codes
still
on
those
billboards.
That's
for
both
full-time
and
part-time
and,
of
course,
you
can
also
go
into
our
recycling
app
and
also
be
able
to
get
to
the
application
site
from
our
recycling
app
and,
of
course,
we're
still
working
with
hr
to
increase
the
number
of
temporaries
that
we
have
working
for
us
through
our
temporary
agencies.
AH
This
is
just
a
picture
of
what
our
billboards
look
like
and
what
our
qr
code
looks
like.
This
is
for
both
the
full
time
and
part
time
so
they're
very
colorful
they're,
designed
that
way
to
capture
attention
and
they've
been
working.
We've
got
eight
so
far.
This
is
the
main
billboard.
That's
on
interstate
85..
We
are
really
looking
at
our
long
haulers,
those
that
are
driving
across
country
that
might
want
to
come
home
and
stay
home
and
be
home
at
night.
Those
are
the
ones
we
want
to
come
in.
AH
They
already
have
their
cdl
licensed,
so
we
can
put
them
in
a
truck
and
put
them
to
work.
So
so
far,
it's
a
it's
attracting
the
attention
that
we
need.
So
the
total
number
of
rear,
rear,
end
loaders
that
we
have
working
on
a
day-to-day
basis
is
64..
That's
28
in
household
14
in
yard
waste.
This
is
on
a
day-to-day
basis
if
we
have
enough
drivers,
12
in
recycling
and
eight
gravels,
now
remember:
eight
of
your
recycling.
AH
Trucks
are
your
automatic
side
loaders,
but
we
do
have
four
additional
trucks
that
we
work
in
recycling
that
have
to
be
how
occupated
as
well
in
order
to
make
sure
they
work
in
the
routes
as
we
need
them
to.
AH
So
that's
a
total
number
of
64
drivers
every
day
that
we
have
to
have,
and
we
don't
have
64
drivers,
as
I
showed
you
before
in
the
previous
spreadsheet
absences
again,
are,
are
something
that
we
just
have
to
contend
with
right
now
at
summer
time,
there's
a
lot
of
parents
that
got
kids
that
are
out
of
school
they're
taking
their
vacations.
Those
are
absences
that
we
can't
control.
We
have
to
allow
our
people
to
take
the
time
that
they
need
to
make
sure
their
families
are
good
so
that
they
can
come
to
work
every
day.
AH
So
we
have
our
scheduled
absences.
We
have
our
unscheduled
absences.
We
have
sick
time
vacation
time
that
we
have
to
attend
with
so
on
a
daily
average.
We
deal
with
about
five
absences
within
that
category,
so
that's
five
less
than
what
we
start
every
day
with
our
inmates.
Security
levels
are
still
a
challenge
for
us.
AH
We
don't
have
enough
inmates,
but
excuse
me,
the
warden
is
doing
everything
in
his
powers
to
get
as
many
as
he
can
for
us,
but
we
do
run
short
every
day,
but
we
try
and
make
those
up
with
civilians
if
we
have
any
civilians.
Those
are
your
waste
equipment
workers
available
to
work.
Those
are
part-time
people
that
we
have
right
now.
If
they're
available,
we
put
them
on
the
back
of
the
truck
and
continue
with
our
mission.
AH
So
our
amways,
as
you
know,
is
our
private
contractor
that
we
hired
to
handle
our
containerized
yard
waste.
I
emphasize
containerize
because
often
we
get
calls
that
something
was
missed
and
when
we
get
out
there,
it's
not
the
containerized
yard
waste.
It's
the
large
piles
of
yard
waste
that
the
city
of
columbus
is
still
responsible
for
collecting.
But
to
give
you
some
back
some
information
on
our
on
our
contractor
right
now,
amways
is
doing
a
phenomenal
job.
AH
We
handle
the
uncontainerized
yard
waste
to
give
you
a
better
idea
on
how
they're
rotating
them
in
because
everyone
is
on
a
weak
lag
for
containerized
yard
waste.
So
if
you
look
at
the
example,
I've
got
up
there
we'll
say
week
a
if
you
live
in
sections
300
to
303
you're
not
collected,
and
we
get.
But
if
you
notice
in
week
b,
300
to
303
is
collected
and
in
week
c
300
to
303
is
collected,
and
then,
if
there's
a
week,
d
300
to
303
is
collected.
AH
AH
A
lot
of
them
don't
have
the
equipment
that
is
needed
to
pick
up
your
large
green
piles,
they're
two
men
in
a
truck
and
they're
loading
up,
couches
and
all
the
bulk
stuff-
that's
out
there,
but
they
don't
have
the
grab
all
truck
in
order
to
get
the
very
large
piles
of
green,
so
they're,
focusing
on
your
furniture
and
your
piles
of
that
nature,
and
we
appreciate
them
for
that.
But
since
they
started,
which
was
april,
18th,
we've
already
paid
them
115
592.50
for
this
service.
AH
So
where
are
we
bulk?
Waste
is
continue
to
be
collected
by
the
bulk
waste
vendors.
That's
your
furniture
and
things
of
that
nature
and
waste
is
continuing
to
rotate
the
last
16
routes
into
their
standard
40
route
week.
To
make
sure
everyone
is
collected
for
their
containerized
yard
waste
waste
collection
will
continue
to
collect
the
uncontainerized
large
piles
of
waste
as
staffing
is
allowing
because
we're
having
to
move
those
drivers
into
the
household
site
to
make
sure
that
the
household
waste
is
collected
and,
of
course,
household
and
recycling,
waste
will
continue
to
be
con.
AH
The
priority
for
the
waste
collection,
division,
waste
collection
is
working
every
wednesday
and
saturday
of
every
week,
so
they're
working
six
days
a
week.
We
are
still
going
to
continue
to
use
our
emergency
bulk
vendors
for
as
long
as
we
can,
and
we
do
have
an
incentive,
an
employee
incentive
that
we
have
had
on
the
books
and
have
been
asking
employees
that
have
cdls
to
come
and
work
for
us.
They
get
an
additional
175
dollars
to
work.
It
we've
had
maybe
five
or
six
to
be
consistent,
but
not
any
more
than
that.
AH
We
are
still
working
with
hr
to
increase
our
hiring
of
temporary
employees
in
order
to
fill
these,
these
cdl
driving
positions,
but
they
are
a
very
that's
a
position
and
a
license
that
that
are
just
scarce
right
now
they
are
going
to
larger
companies,
making
more
pay
than
what
we're
able
to
pay
them,
and
that's
why
our
staffing
shortages
are
as
they
are.
We
have
increased
our
landfill
hours.
We
are
now
open
on
the
first
and
third
saturday
of
every
month
to
ensure
everyone
has
access
to
our
landfill.
AH
Ipl
is
our
cart
vendor?
Those
are.
That's
the
company
that
not
only
provided
the
carts
but
are
also
delivering
all
the
carts
they
have
today
delivered
112,
169,
black
and
green
carts.
That's
about
56,
084
households
that
have
received
their
carts
and
we've
got
about
1400
more
to
go
and
then
we'll
be
finished
with
the
main
phase
of
delivering
these
carts
and
then
we'll
go
into
the
double
checking
to
make
sure
everyone
has
their
carts
in
the
last
phase
and
then
they'll
be
out.
M
M
I
mentioned
earlier
that
the
citizens
realize
what
kind
of
a
constraints
we're
under
and
they're
patient.
They
understand,
I
mean
and
plus
they
see
the
signs.
We
I
see
signs
all
over.
Colorful
look
real
nice,
so
they
understand
they
understand
it's
going
to
be
delays
right
where
the
angst
occurs.
M
I
tell
them
to
call
me,
but
they'll
call
and
they
say
just
let
it
sit
out
there.
We
need
to
give
them
if
you
tell
them
well,
it
won't
be
for
two
weeks
at
least
they
know
when
it's
going
to
happen.
So
if
we
were
to
have
something
like
that
in
place
through
ccgtv
or
something
it
would
alleviate
their
anxiety,
they
know
it's
going
to
be
a
while.
They
know
what
that
that
it's
a
delay.
M
M
It
would
also
alleviate
the
calls
going
to
the
3-1-1,
because,
if
there's
something
out
on
agnes
drive,
the
one
that
you
sent
out
three
weeks
tupelo
was
about
the
same
time
there
in
the
same
area,
and
so
but
both
individuals
said
you
know
if,
if
we
knew
when
but
every
week
that
we
called
they
said,
let
it
sit
there
and
because
the
ladies
don't
know,
and
they
do
the
best
job,
but
it
would
also
cut
down
on
the
calls
that
they
get
for
that,
because
I'm
going
to
bet
you
if
I
even
turn
around
and
ask
it
to
yasha
they're,
getting
a
lot
of
calls,
whereas
something
was
put
on
ccgt
on
honolulu
drive
or
hawaii
way.
M
M
No,
no,
you
won't
know
something
that
would
be
acceptable
yeah.
That
would
be
because
at
least
they
would
know,
because
a
lot
of
it
is
just
anxiety
on
their
part,
when's
it
going,
and
then
they
call
the
ladies.
They
can't
give
them
anything
definitive
and
so
with
release.
It
would
do
a
number
of
things
it
would
relieve
the
load
on
the
311,
because
I
know
they
get
a
lot
of
calls
that
they
cannot
answer
and
it
will
also
pacify
or
satisfy
the
citizens,
because
they
are
understanding.
I
speak
to
them
right
and
they
are
understanding.
M
So
if
you
were
to
run
something
that
that
would
say
you
know
agnes
drive,
we
missed
it.
We
won't
be
there
next
week,
but
we'll
be
there
on
this
time.
At
least
they
know
that
at
that
time
somebody
will
pick
it
up,
because
I
think
overall,
I
think
we're
doing
a
good
job
with
the
drivers.
People
realize
and
they
do
understand-
that's
the
big
thing
they
understand.
M
This
pandemic
has
hit
at
so
many
different
levels
and
they
realize
it's
difficult
and
they
realize
the
training
has
to
be
what
the
cdl
you
can't
just
have
someone
coming
off
the
street,
so
they
are
cognizant
of
the
problems
that
we
in
the
city
are
having.
But
if
that,
if
you
would
do
that,
that
would
alleviate
a
whole
bunch.
AH
We
can
definitely
do
that.
We
can
put
something
on
ccgtv.
That
just
explains
the
one
week
lag
on
the
containerized
waste
for
the
yard
waste
that
the
easiest
thing
for
them
to
do
right
now
to
ensure
that
we
can.
We
know
it's
out
there
that
we're
going
to
come
there
and
get
it
would
be
to
call
it
in
we're
not
saying
we're,
changing
it
to
a
call-in
service,
we're
still
running
routes,
but
we're
running
routes
based
on
our
availability
of
drivers.
AH
M
M
Right
now,
okay,
it
really
really
is
that
the
people
know,
but
it's
the
not
knowing
that
is
irksome
to
them
and
gets
them
upset.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
that
if
you
know
that
you're
just
given
a
reason
right-
and
they
know-
but
if
you
just
put
something
out,
you
know
hawaii
way:
you're
gonna
be
two
weeks
behind
just
leave
it
there.
M
Then
you
know
what
then
they
know
it's
gonna
be
picked
up
in
two
weeks
and
it
cuts
the
calls
that
the
ladies
are
getting
because
I
know
they're
getting
a
lot
of
calls
a
day
at
least
that
people
would
know,
stop
the
calls
and
people
will
be
able
to
know
definitively
when
the
yard
wastes
or
the
bulk
waste
are
going
to
get
picked
up
and
they're
happy.
We.
T
B
H
J
Knowing
you
know
exactly
when,
because
he's
saying
it's
been
out
there
for
a
while,
and
I
was
going
to
get
with
you
to
get
the
exact
address
off
of
forest
road,
but
he
said
it's
in
general,
all
of
that
forest
road
area,
that
the
yard
waste
is
staying
out
there.
But
I
do.
J
I
know-
we've
mentioned
this
several
times
in
reference
to
it,
not
being
an
official
policy
for
citizens
to
call
in
their
yard
waste
or
whatever
it
is.
I
when
I
was
coming
in
today,
a
neighbor.
It
was
a
military
guy,
they
just
moved
and
they
put
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff.
You
know
out
and
most
people
don't
call
3-1-1
to
say
that
they
have
left.
You
know
a
whole
2000
square
foot.
J
You
know
worth
of
stuff,
you
know
outside
in
front
of
the
house,
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
work
on
some
type
of
policy,
because
this
this
has
been
an
issue
for
a
while
and
it's
not
just
a
pandemic,
and
I
know
that
we,
you
know
we
were
working
on
some
stuff
in
reference
to
things
being
put
out
by
you,
know
different
people
moving
or
whatever,
but
to
put
a
policy
where
people
can
call
in
that.
We
really
promote
that
through
wtvm
and
wrvl
and
the
ledger
to
start
a
new
process.
J
Because
right
now
I
mean
it's
been.
It's
been
we're
going
on
three
years.
H
J
J
So
I'm
just
asking
if
there's
something
that
we
can
consider
to
to
update
that
to
take
the
pressure
off
of
you,
know,
director
short
and
director
johnson
and
reference
to
3-1-1
in
public
works,
because
we
I
mean
we
just
got
to
work
smarter
in
these
days.
H
J
E
Thank
you,
mayor
mayor,
I'm
a
city
manager.
Director
short,
I
just
I'm
going
to
speak
in
general,
but,
as
you
all
know,
I
continue
to
get
calls
from
my
constituents
who
are
having
problems
and
the
problems
are
basically
and
I'm
not
talking
about
household
weight.
I
think
you
know
I
I
think
we've
gotten
a
good
handle
on
that
through
the
pandemic
and
where
we're
at
I'm
talking
about
yard,
waste
and
yard
debris
and
bulk.
I
I
I
still
have.
E
I
have
my
doubts
just
hearing
people
and
you
know
how
we're
trying
to
approach
these
type
situations.
Sometimes
I
just
think
we're
chasing
our
tail
just
going
in
circles.
You
know,
even
though
we
get
stuff
picked
up,
it's
a
it's
a
reoccurring
problem
where
it
just
starts
all
over
or
if,
during
the
summer
it
gets
worse.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
ever
catching
up,
but
I
know
I
continue
to
get
the
calls
and
I
try
to
figure
out.
E
You
know
I'm
trying
to
understand,
and
I'm
just
I'm
having
a
hard
time
doing
that
I
don't
I'm
left
with
not
a
lot
to
tell
my
constituents
other
than
to
call
3-1-1,
but
that's
really
what
we've
been
doing
all
these
years
is
to
tell
them
to
call
3-1-1.
E
She
inherited
a
lot
of
challenges
and
there's
no
one
really
to
point
the
finger
at
it
like
I've
said
it
is
what
it
is
and
I
think
they're
doing
everything
I
can
sit
here
and
tell
my
constituents
and
confidence
that
I
think
publix
works
is
doing
everything
they
can
to
try
to
address
it.
It's
just
just
seems
to
be
something
that
you
know
is
continuing
chasing,
and
I
you
know
personally,
I'm
just
having
a
hard
time
really
understanding.
E
If
we're
ever
going
to
fix
this
situation,
I
do
agree
with
some
scheduling,
and
one
thing
we
can
do
in
simple
is
maybe
adjust
the
schedule.
I
mean
people
are
doing
what
we've
told
them
to
do
and
we
have.
I
don't
think,
we've
really
changed.
You
know
weekly.
We
tell
them
to
put
out
their
stuff
weekly,
that's
how
we've
always
provided
services,
but
you
know
household
waste
they're
getting
it
done,
but
maybe
other,
maybe
maybe
we
need
to
switch
the
yard
waste
thing.
E
So
people
know
what
to
expect
that
we're
we're
not
able
to
get
it
every
week
and
maybe
they'll
delay
it
a
little
bit.
Could
that
help
out
the
department
and
catching
up,
maybe
maybe
not
depending
on
the
months
but
like
I
said
I
I
have
to
express
my
constituents
feelings
and
I
know
we're
struggling,
but
I
tell
them
all
I
can
do
is
share
their
concerns
with
the
mayor,
the
city
manager
and
the
director,
and
I
even
help
them
call
it
in.
I
tell
him
I'll
be
glad
to
call
it
him
for
you.
E
You
call
it
in
I'll
call
it
in.
I
try
to
do
that.
I
try
to
do
the
best
I
can,
but
in
thinking
about
this
situation,
I
really
believe
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
got
to
sharpen
your
pencil
you're
going
to
have
to
sharpen
your
pencil
and
look
at
both
sides
of
the
ledger.
I
said
it
before
you
got
to
look
at
your
revenue.
You
got
to
look
at
your
expenditures.
You
got
to
look
at
what
it's
costing
you.
E
You
got
to
look
at
the
challenges
that
you're
dealing
with
now
I
mean
I
see
a
lot
of
residual
things.
We've
never
had
to
deal
with,
but
now
we're
doing
you
know
whether
we're
spending
time
going
up
to
get
garbage
or
adjusting
cans,
or
you
know
even
their
situation,
where
people
are
having
a
hard
time
with
in
private
residence.
E
With
you
know
long
roads
in
my
district
I
got
a
lot
of
private
residents
that
have
you
know
a
long
road
that
they
take
care
of
and
they're
having
problems
getting
their
stuff
down
to
a
central
location
and
and
getting
it
picked
up
as
well.
But
I
you
know,
I
really
believe
with
you
know.
I
heard
some
of
the
math
today.
E
Just
playing
with
some
of
the
math
and
the
simple
questions
I
asked
and
if
I
start
adding
it
up,
I
mean
the
math
will
really
speak
for
itself,
but
I
think
you're
going
to
have
to
come
to
realization
of
you
know
what
what
it's
going
to
be.
I'm
looking
at.
What's
going
to
be
the
least
impact
to
the
people
that
we're
providing
service
to
and
right
now
I
see
the
challenges
are
still
there
and
I'm
seeing
a
greater
impact
and
cost
in
the
future
coming
even
more
so
so
that
concerns
me.
E
So
I
just
hope
that,
as
we
continue
down
this
path,
that
we
continue
to
take
this
in
consideration,
I'm
sure
it's
not
the
last
time
we'll
have
a
conversation,
but
this
is
the
number
one
concern
just
to
express
it
out
of
my
constituents
that
I
get
on
a
weekly
basis
this
this
is
it
right
here
and
and
quite
frankly,
they
don't
want
to
hear
about.
What's
happened
in
the
past.
E
You
know
everybody's
had
those
challenges
they're
just
looking
at
the
service
provider
and
what
you
know
that
you
know
the
the
cost
to
them,
because
it
is
a
paid
service,
even
though
it's
a
very
economical
cost.
It's
when
you
really,
you
know,
add
it
all
up,
but
it
is
a
paid
service
and
you
know
they
they
have
their
concerns.
So
I'm
just
you
know.
E
I
know.
Y'all
won't,
take
a
baseball
bat
after
me,
but
that's
that's
okay,
but
just
I'm
expressing
what
I'm
doing
here
today
is
expressing
my
constituents
concerns
because
I
told
them
that's
that's
all
I
can
do
and
and
I'll
continue
to
do
that,
but
I
just
want
everybody
to
understand
where
I
s
what
I'm
seeing
and-
and
hopefully
we
can
work
work
to
continue
to
try
to
find
a
way
to
address
this,
and
and
I'm
open
to
that-
and
I
know
others
as
well
is-
is
open
to
it.
So
that's
it.
Thank
you.
B
B
J
Yes,
that
one
slide
that
you
had
where
it
was
showing
that
we
skipped
you
know
where
we
had
the
skill,
the
amways.
X
AH
To
be
licensed
to
use
it,
and
then,
of
course,
the
city
manager
or
the
finance
director
as
it
relates
to
the
insurance
for
those
individuals,
would
be
that's.
K
AH
X
Okay,
is
there
another
company,
in
addition
to
amways,
that,
could
that
we
could
contract
with
in
order
to
pick
up
a
few
more
routes,
we
would.
X
And
then,
I
think,
the
frustration
that
is
happening
that
we've
all
kind
of
talked
about
around
this
table
is
the
consistency
and
message,
because
I've
had
people
that
have
called
me
and
they'll.
They'll
have
called
three
one:
one
and
they'll
have
talked
to
two
or
three
different
people,
and
each
one
of
them
are
telling
them
different
things,
and
so
I
think
what
counselor
toyah
sorry
councillor
tucker
is
talking
about.
X
Policy
is
not
necessarily
maybe
something
that
we
do
here,
but
an
internal
policy
that
is
given
2-3-1-1
so
that
they're
all
talking
with
one
voice
and
also
then
it's
given
to
us
too,
so
that
when
they
call
us
we're
all
speaking
with
one
voice,
one
message
and
we're
being
consistent,
we
can
do
that.
Okay,
thank
you.
You're
welcome.
K
AI
And
so
starting
on
the
right
side
at
the
top
of
the
snapshot
there
with
the
general
fund,
the
general
fund
is
down
when
comparing
april
of
22
to
april
21
1.34,
not
overly
concerned
about
that.
At
this
particular
point,
we
do
have
some
revenue
sources
that
are
obviously
still
in
recovery,
particularly
those
fines
and
forfeitures
due
to
the
court
back
laws.
You
know,
I
anticipate
that's
just
going
to
be
a
a
steady
climb
in
terms
of
recovery,
for
that
particular
source.
AI
I'm
also
included
in
that
number
is
the
sales
tax
revenues
from
last
year
that
included
that
one-time
audit
money,
the
old
loss
of
the
local
option
sales
tax
fund
is
down
2.34
percent
again
due
to
that
one-time
audit
money.
If
we
were
to
exclude
that
one-time
audit
revenue,
our
sales
tax
collections
would
actually
be
up
about
eight
percent.
AI
The
storm
water
sewer
fund
is
up.
0.66
percent
paving
fund
down
points,
0.06
percent-
that's
really
just
due
to
the
timing
of
reimbursements
for
maintaining
our
state
highways.
AI
The
medical
center
fund
is
up
one
point:
two:
nine
percent
integrated
waste
fund
down
23.61-
that
is
due
to
largely
due
to
the
residential
fee
waiver
that
was
approved
in
this
fiscal
year,
as
well
as
the
general
fund
equipment,
investment
of
2.7
million
dollars.
AI
AI
The
emergency
telephone
fund
is
up
2.30
percent
the
economic
development
authority
fund
up
5.44,
the
debt
service
fund
down
2.24,
that's
due
to
the
retirement
of
debt
related
to
some
two
leases
to
gma
leases
that
rolled
off
this
year.
AI
The
transportation
fund
is
up
25.78
again,
that
is
due
to
the
timing
of
receipts
for
a
grant
reimbursements
and
the
trade
center
fund,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
is
up
124.77
percent
again.
That
is
largely
due
to
the
convention
service
revenue,
the
space
rental
revenue
that
they
are
collecting
this
fiscal
year
over
last
year,
as
well
as
the
hotel
motel
tax
revenue,
hotel,
motel
taxes
are
up
about
73
percent
when
compared
to
this
point.
In
time.
AI
Last
year,
bull
creek
golf
course
fund
is
down
13
0.57
percent,
and
that
is
largely
due
to
a
general
fund.
Investment
from
the
cares
act,
money
that
was
invested
to
purchase
more
equipment
out
there.
Those
golf
carts
that
the
facility
received
using
that
reserve
money,
excluding
that
one-time
investment,
the
fund
would
be
down
still
about
one
percent,
oxbow
creek
golf
course
up:
9.71
percent
and
the
civic
center
up
476.27.
AI
And
again,
that
is
due
to
several
factors,
including
1.3
million-
that
they've
received
in
grant
monies
this
year,
as
well
as
revenue
recovery
money
that
they
received
and
hotel
motel
tax
money.
Again
they
are
recipient
of
hotel,
motel
taxes
and
that's
up
73
percent
moving
down
the
snapshot
to
the
other
local
options:
sales,
tax,
public
safety
summary
we
have
recorded
year-to-date
about
23.4
million
in
revenues,
expenditures
about
30.4
million
year-to-date
for
the
other
local
auction
sales,
tax
infrastructure.
AI
Summary
we've
recorded
about
10
million
in
revenue,
and
we
have
about
8.8
million
in
expenditures.
Moving
to
the
left
side
of
the
snapshot
for
the
general
fund
expenditures.
Here
you
can
see
the
departments
that
are
highlighted
here
are
those
departments
that
are
currently
below
the
projected
goal,
which
is
about
17
percent,
the
city
attorney
litigation.
AI
Obviously
we're
still
offended
defending
millions
in
claims
employee
benefits
that
is
due
to
our
annual
payments
that
we
make
related
to
death
benefit
and
major
disability.
We
also
pay
out
of
this
call
center,
the
unemployment
compensation-
I'm
not
overly
concerned
about
that.
At
this
particular
point,
the
firing
ems
is
on
the
watch
list
at
13
really
did
anticipate
that
for
firing
ems,
particularly,
you
know,
we
pay
those
we're
still
paying
those
recruitment
and
retention
bonuses.
AI
Every
quarter
and
you
know,
salary
savings
for
the
most
part
covers
the
cost
of
the
bonuses,
but
there
are
some
operating
expenditures
that
they
have
that
may
require
them
to
come
and
ask
for
additional
appropriations,
particularly
related
to
the
repair
some
of
the
fire
engines.
There
was
an
item
on
the
purchasing
agenda
today
for
a
repair
and
then
the
public
defender
here
we
pay
that
contract
in
advance
and
not
concern
at
all
with
that
being
below
the
goal,
because
that
is
paid
out
in
advance.
AI
Z
Good
afternoon,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
council
for
the
clerk's
agenda
item
one.
This
is
a
resolution
to
change
the
meeting
schedule
for
the
month
of
june
and
mr
mayor,
I
did
want
to
make
a
revision
to
the
actual
resolution
by
adding
the
june
14th
meeting
in
there,
even
though
it
is
already
regularly
scheduled
for
nine
o'clock
a.m,
to
make
it
clear
and
concise.
Z
B
There's
a
motion,
the
second
all
in
favor,
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
is
any
opposed.
Okay,
thank
you.
Z
And
mr
mayor
that
there
was
a
motion
to
amend
and
approve
that
the
new
council
meeting
dates
are
as
follows:
june
7th.
That
meeting
has
been
canceled
june
14th.
Once
again.
This
is
a
regularly
scheduled
meeting,
but
it
will
be
included
in
the
resolution.
It
will
be
at
nine
o'clock
am
june
21st.
This
is
a
special
call
meeting.
This
will
be
at
nine
o'clock
a.m
and
june
28th.
B
Okay,
we've
got
a
motion
to
receive
the
minutes
from
mayor
pro
tim
second
from
councillor
tucker.
Anybody
want
one
pulled
or
discussed
hearing,
none

Think
a
lot
of
I
just
threw
that
out
there.
I
think
I
think,
like
a
lot
of
organizations,
they
sort
of
lapsed
during
copen
and
but
but
I
do
know,
they
have
expressed
a
commitment
to
try
to
re-energize
that
that
joint
development
authority,
simply
because
there
seems
to
be
more
of
an
effort
on
a
regionalism
approach.
E
B
B
All
right
we
are,
we
have
been,
we
have
been
in
executive
session,
discussed
personnel,
no
votes
were
taken
so
I'll
now
entertain
a
motion
motion
in
a
second
to

all

We
are
adjourned.
