Today
we
evoke
the

and
sustain
us
to
times
of

the

civic
duty
and
personal
responsibility
on
the
standing
and
inclusiveness,
the
values
of
dignity
and
respect
for
all
may
God
bless
our
great
Republic
and
our
beloved
City
of
Columbus
Georgia.
B
B
D
Mccarthy
good
morning,
I
just
bring
greetings
from
two
of
your
previous
students.
My
son
I
told
him
you'd
be
here
this
morning
he
was
in
your
last
graduating
class
of
may
17
and
Jonathan
was
in
your
class
of
2016
they're,
both
in
school
together.
They
both
send
their
hello
to
you
this
morning.
Thank
you
again,.
B
Thank
you.
Father
have
a
wonderful
day
and
next
we've
got
a
special
treat.
We've
got
Martin
Luther,
King,
jr.
Elementary
School
who's
going
to
come
forward
as
they
come
forward
and
gather
in
front
of
the
desk.
Here,
let
me
just
say
we
had
a
wonderful
Veterans
Day
weekend.
I
hope
you
enjoyed
it
with
your
family
and
friends.
We
had
a
great
parade
downtown
and
pops
want
to
thank
you
for
leading
that
it
was
the
best.
Yet
so
every
year
gets
better
and
better
as
they
are
assembling.
B
E
E
B
F
E
F
I
J
K
G
M
B
B
Driver
and
who
we
know
in
various
other
capacities
are
usually
providing
the
invocation,
so
thank
you
so
much
and
the
kids
said
as
I
asked.
If
they
had
any
questions,
they
said
just
wanted
me
to
know
they
really
enjoyed
their
bus
ride,
okay,
yeah
so
anyway.
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
Let's
give
him
another
round
of
applause.
B
O
Matt
mayor,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
council,
mr.
city
manager,
as
you
know,
I'm
John,
Williams,
the
deputy
chief,
appraiser
and
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
as
a
continuation
from
my
last
presentation
here
at
Council.
You
asked
me
to
come
back
and
talk
some
numbers,
some
of
you
weren't
present,
so
I
thought
I
would
just
kind
of
give
a
quick
preview
of
what
we
did
cover
at
that
last
presentation
regarding
the
staff
augmentation
request,
the
department
processed
and
reviewed
10,000
906
Appeals
this
appeal
period.
O
We
anticipate
those
appeals
lasting
into
April
of
2018,
and
what
that
means
is
whether
they
be
Beuys
hearing
officers
whatever.
That
path
is
for
those
appeals.
We
anticipate
that
going
into
April
of
18,
because
all
of
our
available
resources
were
pushed
towards
processing
those
Appeals.
Our
normal
workflow
for
about
four
months,
didn't
get
accomplished,
specifically
the
workflow
that
involved
reviewing
sales
and
reviewing
permits.
So
it's
really
what
the
the
crux
of
this
discussion
is
about,
and.
P
O
Addressed
of
course,
this
delay
in
our
annual
work
will
preclude
us
from
timely,
submitting
our
portion
of
the
tax
status
to
the
Tax
Commissioner
by
June
1,
and
in
order
for
us
to
meet
that
June
1
deadline
to
the
Tax
Commissioner,
we
have
to
actually
put
our
notices
in
the
mail
April
of
2018,
so
you
start
to
see
the
the
conflict
there.
We
anticipate
the
appeals
going
into
2018.
O
We
have
to
have
our
notices
of
assessment
out
in
April
of
2018
at
the
same
time,
so
we
must
review
the
2017
permits
transfers
sales
in
order
for
those
assessment
notices
to
go
out
in
18
in
2016,
there
are
1616
building
permits.
As
of
that
August
one
day
there
are
a
thousand
275
building
permits
417
and
we
anticipate
about
2,000,
plus
or
minus
total
building
permits
in
1716
hundred
and
eighty-eight
cells
are
transferred,
or
in
the
system
to
review.
O
As
of
last
week,
we
anticipate
approximately
3,600
parcels
to
review
for
sales
or
transfers
or
permits
to
compute
to
be
completed
in
between
that
time
period,
the
first
quarter
of
2018.
So
that's
the
the
work
amount.
That's
actually
not
been
accomplished
because
we
spent
all
of
our
resources
on
the
Appeals
review.
O
The
pending
approval.
We've
negotiated
an
addendum
to
the
existing
contract
with
Tyler
technologies
to
provide
the
service
without
the
need
for
a
new
request
for
proposal
or
RFP.
As
you
know,
RFPs
take
time,
and
if
you
start
doing
what
we
used
to
call
backward
planning
when
you
start
looking
at
that,
April
2018
deadlines
start
looking
back
at
the
amount
of
work
we
have
to
do.
We
don't
have
time
for
an
RFP.
O
We
don't
have
time
to
start
from
scratch
and
go
out
and
find
a
contractor
to
do
the
work
that
I'm
proposing
selecting
Tyler
therefore,
is
the
best
solution,
because
number
one
they're
familiar
with
the
software
that
we
have
from
them.
They
know
how
to
use
it.
We
don't
have
to
train
another
vendor
to
come
in
and
use
that
software
they'd
already
know
how
to
do
it.
Also.
The
training
and
oversight
that
would
be
required
of
brand
new
contractors.
Never
using
our
system
or
never
having
been
here
before,
would
be
extensive,
an
extended
beyond
using
Tyler.
O
Then
Tyler
is
capable
of
beginning
their
work.
That,
first
week,
in
January
of
2018
and
again
I
say
this
almost
every
slide.
We
will
not
complete
the
work
necessary
to
timely,
submit
the
digest
if
we
don't
have
this
type
of
staff
augmentation,
the
initial
cost
that
was
quoted
and
here's
what
we're
getting
into
the
numbers
that
I
believe
miss
Thomas
asked
me
to
bring
forward.
But
really
all
of
you
wanted
to
see
that
when
we
first
talked
to
Tyler
about
this
process
that
quarter
dollars
a
parcel
and
one
of
the
things
I
believe
is
mr.
O
Henderson
said
you
know
it
can't
they
do
something
for
us
in
there
a
little
bit
of
room
to
negotiate
not
only
in
this,
but
possibly
in
some
support
that
they've
got
remaining
in
their
current
contract.
So
one
of
the
things
we
negotiated
down
was,
it
doesn't
seem
like
a
lot
dollar
parcel,
but
it
really
is
you.
O
Look
at
Cobb
was
an
example
that
Tyler
gave
me
that
they
most
recently
negotiated
this
type
of
service
with
for
their
new
construction
parcels,
Cobb
paid
seventy
dollars
a
parcel
for
their
new
construction
for
their
permits
and
sales
without
new
construction.
That
was
twenty
seven.
Twenty
eight
dollars
a
parcel
all
three
of
those
quotes.
Seventy
27
and
28
all
did
not
involve
the
data
entry
and
the
initial
valuation
of
those
parcels
that
are
included
in
this
now.
O
$29
a
parcel
fee
that
they've
agreed
to
do
so
I
know:
I
just
went
over
a
bunch
of
numbers
with
you
right
there,
but
the
$29.
Actually,
the
$30
is
a
good
rate
to
show
some
additional
good-faith.
They
reduce
that
to
$29
a
parcel
in
the
amendment
to
the
contract
that
I'm
speaking
of
now,
the
completion
date
is
March
30th,
the
2018,
and
if
you
go
back
to
my
earlier
slides
that
April
of
2018
timeframe
that
I've
talked
about
a
couple
times.
This
fits
perfectly
with
that.
O
Prior
to
this
aspect
of
negotiation
and
the
potential
amendment
to
the
contract,
we
had
already
asked
Tyler
our
board
of
Assessors
that
asked
Tyler
to
give
us
some
additional
support
time
because
of
everything
that's
going
on
with
the
high
number
of
Appeals
etc,
and
at
that
time
they
agreed
to
give
us
15
person,
hours
or
15
days
of
additional
support
for
our
Bo
ease.
Now,
in
a
dish
negotiating
from
thirty
to
twenty
nine
dollars,
they've
negotiated
an
additional
five
days
of
person
time.
So
what
what
does
that
mean?
O
That
means
we
have
a
tiler
technology,
actually
Steve.
Why
so
you've
met?
He
will
be
here
basically
an
additional
month,
as
twenty
workdays
you'll
be
here
an
additional
Mont
month
to
provide
appeal
support
to
our
staff.
So
that's
just
an
additional
thing
that
Tyler
has
provided
again
to
show
good
faith,
so
they
reduce
their
initial
quote
from
thirty
to
twenty
nine
dollars
a
parcel.
They
extended
their
additional
support
for
Bo
ease
and
appeals,
an
additional
workweek,
so
that's
basically
taking
them
to
be
present,
I
believe
the
data
story.
Q
Q
You
have
done
a
really
good
job
of
getting
these
appeals,
processed
and
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
happy
constituents,
but
I
do
feel
like
with
councillor
Henderson
tower,
has
put
a
burden
on
you
all
that
y'all
didn't
necessarily
deserve,
and
$1
off
of
a
$30
quote
I
mean
to
me
he's
not
I'm,
not
sure
if
there's
any
room
for
negotiation
before
that
comes
back
for
counsel,
but
I'm
at
like
to
see
something
you
know
in
a
larger
range.
You
know
that
shows
a
little
more
recognition
of
what
was
placed
on.
O
$70
for
new
construction
for
parcel,
that's
$40
$41
higher
than
$29
a
parcel,
the
$27
for
permits
and
the
$28
for
sales
transfers.
That's
right
in
line
with
that.
$29
quote,
however,
that
there
quote
didn't
include
the
entry
and
the
valuation
aspect
of
it,
which
is
10
and
$3.
That's
$13
additional
cost
on
average
normal
for
their
contract
that
we're
getting
the
benefit
and
not
paying
so
that
$29
I
can
tell
from
being
in
the
conference,
call
in
negotiating
that
they
didn't
want
to
go
there.
O
They
felt
30
was
low
already
based
on
everything
you're
talking
about
based
on
the
appeals
and
everything
that
we've
gone
through
over
the
last
four
or
five
months,
so
that
$29,
for
my
perspective,
is
as
low
as
they're
going
to
go
and
it
is,
it
does
represent
a
discount
over
what
they
do
for
other
counties
and
and
already
had
been
discounted
at
the
$30,
a
parcel
rate.
So.
Q
O
O
S
O
Ma'am
divided
by
three
months,
the
twenty
days
is
the
additional
support
that
they're
going
to
provide
us
in
man
days
or
person
days.
I
should
say
Steve
wise
as,
as
you
know,
he's
been.
The
project
manager
he's
the
one
that
remains
for
appeal:
support,
he'll,
be
the
one
that
goes
in
with
our
staff
to
the
BOE
hearing,
for
example,
that
twenty
days
that's
his
additional
time.
His
his
contract
was
scheduled
to
end
the
end
of
December
they've,
given
us
through
the
end
of
January,
actually
February.
O
Second,
as
a
you
know
that
that
typically
in
the
contract
is
a
per
diem
rate
and
I
think
it
was
$800
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
on
that,
but
I
believe
is
about
$800
a
day
if
you
chose
to
extend
the
support
for
the
contract,
so
they've,
given
us
20
of
those
days
as
a
gift.
As
a
you
know,
a
show
good
faith
as
mr.
Walker
soon
the
three
months,
the
thirty-six
hundred
parcels
are
going
to
be
reviewed
in
three
months.
That
is
the
sales,
the
transfers
and
the
permits
and.
O
H
O
O
O
When
I
say
my
staff,
everybody
in
our
office
has
a
piece
of
this
appraisal
pie.
They
everybody
works
on
on
processing
the
appraisal,
so
front
office.
The
administrative
staff
they're
involved
with
inputting
certain
data,
whether
it's
deed
information,
permit
information
that
it
eventually
gets
the
appraiser,
whether
it's
residential,
commercial
or
personal
property
division,
and
they
work
on
that.
And
then
that
gets
passed
on
to
me
or
my
managers
and
they
review
that
work
and
that
gets
taken
to
the
board
for
approval.
So
when
I
say
our
staff
I'm
talking
about
the
department
as
a
whole,.
H
R
Was
gonna
ask
our
finance
director
if
we
have
have
determined
where
this
funding
will
come
from
and
if
it's
coming
from
initially
because
it's
an
operating
expense,
we
would
shy
away
from
using
fund
balance
since
this,
but
well
I,
say
since
that's
another
question:
is
this
something
that
we
consider
to
be
a
one-time
expense
for
this
year
or
is
this?
Is
this
something
that
we
can
anticipate
on
annual
basis
and
I?
R
O
My
opinion,
based
on
the
the
last
briefing
we
discussed
this
I,
stated
that
we're
going
to
need
Ottoman
tation
in
the
future,
so
whether
that's
permanent
staff,
which
some
councillors
have
spoke
against
and
spoken
towards,
contracting
or
contracting,
like
we're
talking
about
now
one
way
or
another,
we're
gonna
need
additional
staff.
We
have
half
the
residential
staff
that
we
need,
based
on
the
number
of
properties
that
we
have
and
based
on
the
idle
ACO
standards.
As
far
as
how
many
parcels
an
appraiser
can
realistically
be
consistent.
R
O
R
U
If
I
don't
know
if
you
were
present
at
the
hometown
connection
meeting,
but
do
you
plan
to
bring
the
FY
17
final
budget
amendment
back
to
Council
on
the
28th
as
the
first
reading,
and
we
did
in
FY
17
I'm
a
little
better
than
projected
thanks
to
the
great
decisions
and
leadership
of
council,
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager,
so
I'm
we
did
in
FY
17
above
60
days.
It
was
a.
It
was
sixty
four
point:
nine
two
days
that
we
end
it
with
FY
17.
So
at
this
present
time
don't
be
jel.
Our
reserves.
R
U
R
U
T
T
O
O
I
R
R
From
a
procedural
standpoint,
if
somebody
appeals
and
then
it
is
satisfied
that
doesn't
matter
if
it
stayed
where
it
was,
or
they
just
agreed
with
what
you
said
when
it
went
up,
what
is
the,
what
is
the
limitations
on
whether
or
not
they
can
appeal
going
forward
is?
Is
somebody
had
told
me
that
somebody
called
was
concerned
that
if
the
appeal
was
finished
then
for
two
years
they
could
not
appeal
that
value
anymore
is
if
you
just
kind
of
clear
up.
O
Sir,
they
can
any
any
property
owner
can
appeal
any
property
that
they
own
any
year.
Okay,
so
I
think
that
answers
your
ad.
R
O
Fine,
okay,
let
me
say
this
one
thing:
if
they
negotiate
a
value
from
an
appeal
and
whether
that's
a
BOE
decision
or
a
written
agreement
between
our
board
of
Assessors
and
the
owner
taxpayer,
we
call
that
a
299
C
value,
because
299
sees
the
Code
section.
That
applies
to
all
the
criteria
for
these
assessment
agreement
and
the
values
that
are
agreed
upon
if
they
appeal
the
following
year.
What
happened?
Let
me
back
up
that
299
C
value
is
that's
when
you
hear
a
frozen
value.
O
People
talk
about
my
values
frozen
for
three
years,
because
I
I
want
an
appeal
of
the
BOE
or
whatever
you
know,
whatever.
That
value
is
from
a
bo
decision
or
a
written
agreement
when
our
board
in
the
tax
payer
frozen
for
the
current
year.
So
in
this
insensitive
for
2017
and
then
18
and
19,
so
the
current
year,
plus
two.
If
they
appeal
again,
that
freeze
comes
off
that's
one
of
the
things
that
they
need
to
be
aware.
O
R
V
W
Extra
zero
attentive,
we
don't
need
exercise,
but
thirty,
six
hundred
parcels
I
stand
corrected,
and
so
that
will
be
on
the
purchase
agenda
for
the
city
manager
at
the
next
business
meeting.
But,
as
has
been
said,
we'll
use
Tyler
for
the
sake
of
expediency
and
moving
forward.
We
just
don't
have
time
on
our
side,
but
we
will
be
doing
an
RFP
that
we
will
be
able
to
identify
companies
who
can
do
this
kind
of
work
for
us
in
the
future,
if
needed?
W
W
W
It
is
my
understanding
that
we
are
in
the
position
that
we
are
in,
because
you
devoted
all
of
your
resources
to
the
appeals
process
and
revaluation
what
we
went
through
and
you
were
not
able
to
stay
current
with
all
of
the
work
that
now
Tyler
is
going
to
come
in
assist
you
with,
and
so
once
we
get
through
our
dumb
with
Tyler
on
the
three
thousand
six
hundred
parcels,
then
you
should
go
back
to
your
normal
operations
and
you're
saying
when
you
get
back
to
normal
operations,
you're
simply
just
still
short
of
staff.
Yes,.
O
W
W
So
on
the
next
agenda,
it
will
be
just
this
one-time
deal
on
the
city
manager
agenda
on
the
purchase
agenda
for
3,600
parcels,
$29
a
parcel
not
to
exceed
one
hundred
and
four
thousand
four
hundred
dollars,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
that
it's
coming
forward
at
the
next
business
meeting.
That
is
what
we're
asking
and
it's
a
one-time
ask.
B
K
X
K
K
If
we
have
any
comments
from
any
of
y'all
or
the
public,
then
we
will
take
that
back
to
our
board
at
the
December
meeting
and
then
make
a
recommendation
on
a
rate
increase
in
December,
so
I
think
what
you'll
see
here
is
something
you've
seen
in
the
past.
There's
not
a
lot
of
change.
It
may
be
a
little
mundane
but
I
think.
Hopefully
what
you'll
glean
from
that
is
consistency.
We've
got
above
and
then
approach
to
our
finances.
We
think
is
working
and
and
that's
what
we're
presenting
to
you.
G
K
We
have
been
doing
this
five-year
rollin
financial
plan
since
2002.
What
we
do
is
we
evaluate
what
our
revenues
and
costs
are
for
a
year,
and
then
we
look
five
years
in
the
future.
What
we
think
we
need-
and
this
is
a
way
of
trying
to
level
out
any
kind
of
rate-
increases
to
minimize
any
kind
of
spiking
up
and
down
costs.
So
the
amendment
minimizes
any
of
that
discomfort
to
ratepayers.
K
You
may
recall
that
we
we
had
an
APD
consent
order
if
some
years
ago,
that
brought
a
pretty
big
financial
burden
illness,
we
have
completed
that
consent
order.
We
completed
in
June
of
2016,
we
staffed
up
a
number
of
people
and
we
have
been
essentially
going
into
the
sewer
system
with
an
investigative
team
that
finds
and
fixed
problems,
and
that
has
gotten
to
be
such
a
fundamental
part
of
the
way
we
do
business.
We're
keeping
that
effort
going
on
in
perpetuity
it's
just
a
good,
solid
way
of
doing
business.
So
that's
already
in
our
rates.
K
You
know
in
our
cost,
so
we're
going
to
retain
that
fort
benning
expenses
are
supported
by
Fort
Benton
revenue,
noting
that
the
Columbus
ratepayers
pay
funds,
anything
on
Fort,
Benning
and
what's
driving
our
rate
modeling
is
our
coordinated
planning.
We
do
a
cycle
of
capital,
improvement
needs,
evaluation,
funding,
design
bid
and
we
just
keep
the
cycle
roll
in
its
general
up
generally
about
a
five-year
cycle
that
we're
looking
at
that
it
keeps
our
infrastructure
up
to
speed.
K
So
we
can
maintain
the
levels
to
service
to
our
customers
and
stay
in
compliance,
so
the
big
things
that
drive
our
capital
improvement
program
or
regulatory
requirements,
system
renewal
and
upgrades
and
risk
mitigation
of
those
three,
probably
what
we
have
going
on
this
most
demanding
of
our
infrastructure
reinvestment
is
the
system's
renewal
and
upgrades.
We've
got
some
very
old
parts
of
our
system
and,
as
you'll
see
in
the
next
slides,
our
rates
continue
to
be
among
the
lowest
in
the
southeast.
K
You
can
see
Columbus
here
in
the
green,
we're
right
there,
pretty
close
to
Phoenix
City
a
little
above
them
right
now,
and
this
is
the
at
a
water
sewer,
consumption
level
of
6,000
gallons
per
month,
which
is
pretty
average
for
residential
consumer.
This.
You
may
look
at
this
and
be
glad
you're,
not
living
in
Atlanta,
so
there's
more
than
one
reason
not
to
be
in
Atlanta
those
in
traffic
is
we
got
good
water
and
sewer
rates
in
Columbus,
and
we
continue
to
push
for
excellence.
We
we
do
that
by
competing
for
a
lot
of
awards.
K
This
is
just
a
sampling
of
some
awards.
We've
won
this
year.
This
top
one
is
the
what
a
resources
utility
of
the
future
today
and
I
think
they're,
one
of
26
utilities
across
the
country
that
won
that
and
it
kind
of
looks
at
sustainability
and
innovation
and
continuous
improvement
as
kind
of
benchmarks
to
achieve
this
awards
that
we're
proud
of
that.
We
also
want
an
award
in
the
finance
category,
the
laboratory
category,
a
drinking
water
plant
wastewater
plant,
just
pretty
much
all
parts
of
our
system.
K
You
know
what
how
our
customers,
perceiving
this
approach
to
rate
increases
generally
on
an
annual
basis
and
I
think
you
can
glean,
as
we
do
from
this,
that,
on
the
scale
of
zero
to
a
thousand
price
value,
our
customers
say
we're
pretty
close
to
nine
hundred,
which
is
a
pretty
high
score.
So
it
seems
that
they're
fairly
well,
content
with
this
process
of
minor
rate
increase
is
that
we
have.
K
This
is
a
kind
of
a
distribution
of
where
we
are
spending
our
capital
dollars.
Right
now,
we've
got
a
50
million
dollar
bond
issue.
It
was
issued
in
2016,
we've
got
about
ten
and
a
half
million
of
that
at
our
water
plant
in
nine
projects
that
water
plants
over
a
hundred
years
old-
so
you
can
imagine
it
takes
continuous
renewal
and
upgrades
our
wastewater
plant
is-
is
attracting
a
lot
of
financial
dollars
about
22
million,
it's
a
it's
over
50
years
old
and
it's
a
very
harsh
environment
for
that
kind
of
plant.
K
So
it
takes
a
lot
of
renewal
and
replacement
there.
You
can
also
see
our
collection
system,
probably
parts
of
it
are
seventy-five
years
old,
so
staying
on
top
renewing
or
replacing
that
so
that
doesn't
fail
is
key
to
what
we
do.
Our
distribution
system,
we
have
some
pipes
and
service
that
are
probably
125
years
old,
so
keeping
them
all
in
service,
functional
and
meeting
our
customer
needs
is
a
key
consideration
for
us.
K
The
grey
band
shows
what
our
model
has
projected,
that
our
rate
increases
would
be,
and
then
the
white
band
below
it
is
what
our
actual
increases
have
been.
So
you
can
see
that
we
have
consistently
been
below
the
national
average
and
for
the
most
part,
have
been
well
below
evening.
Our
projected
model
average,
and
if
you
look
at
the
last
two
numbers
in
the
bottom
right,
you
can
see
there.
Our
increases
have
come
down
pretty
substantially.
K
Y
Good
morning
Steve
mentioned,
my
name
is
Joe
career
with
reffed
Ellis
financial
consultants.
Confused
me
with
the
older
guy.
That
usually
is
here:
John
hey.
We
do
work
with
water
and
wastewater
utilities
across
the
industry.
That's
all
that
that
our
firm
does
we're
excited
again
to
have
the
opportunity
to
come
in
and
work
with
staff
at
the
Columbus
waterworks
to
review
and
update
that
rolling
five-year
financial
plan.
So
today
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
what
that
looks
like
over
the
next
five
years.
Y
Looking
back
at
fiscal
year,
2017
waterworks
had
a
strong
year
of
water
sales.
Due
to
just
the
way
the
weather
patterns
turned
out.
We
actually
exceeded
our
revenue
projections
by
about
2.7
million
dollars.
On
the
other
side
of
the
ledger,
we
were
able
to
save
on
the
cost
side.
By
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars,
so
we
had
a
strong
revenue
year
and,
as
typically
occurs
at
the
waterworks,
were
able
to
come
in
with
lower
expenses
than
were
projected.
Y
As
I
mentioned,
the
the
revenue
was
higher
than
normal
because
of
higher
than
expected
water
sales,
which
translates
also
into
higher
than
expected
sewer
sales.
Well,
as
we
look
out
over
the
next
five
years
and
Steve
mentioned
this,
the
reasons
for
that
continued,
slow,
moderate
adjustments
to
the
rates
are
to
make
sure
we're
proactively
funding
capital
reinvestment.
We
have
a
lot
of
assets
out
there
buried
underground
that
we're
not
seeing
regularly,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
taking
good
care
and
being
good
stewards
of
those
assets.
Y
So
it's
renewing
and
replacing
the
lines
and
the
other
infrastructure
making
sure
we're
complying
with
any
new
regulatory
requirements
and
also
just
making
sure
that
we
have
a
good
eye
on
any
risks
that
might
be
out
there.
In
addition,
continue
to
have
just
the
general
inflationary,
you
know:
cost
increases
related
to
supplies,
materials,
healthcare,
etc.
Y
Looking
out
over
five
years,
as
Steve
mentioned
over
the
last
10
years
across
the
industry,
we've
seen
at
a
typical
annual
rate
increase
for
utilities
is
just
south
of
the
7%
per
year.
We
don't
see
this
trend
changing
at
all,
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
across
the
state
and
across
the
industry.
So
we
do
forecast
industry-wide
continued
annual
increases
in
the
six
to
seven
percent
range.
Y
The
Columbus
waterworks
model
right
now,
projects
about
an
average
of
that
just
under
four
percent
per
year.
Annual
rate
increase
and
the
current
recommendation
for
the
2018
rate
increases
a
system-wide
average
of
two
point:
eight
six
percent
so
well
below
the
industry
average
n
again,
because
we
had
a
strong
year
last
year
are
able
to
kind
of
lower
the
request
for
2018.
Y
Y
Just
looking
at
the
specific
charges,
we
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
here.
That
information
is
in
your
your
package
there
for
a
water
customer.
Most
residential
customers
are
in
that
five
ace
or
3/4
inch
meter
size,
so
their
base
charge
that
they
pay
every
month
increases
seventy
cents
per
month
on
the
water
side.
If
we
look
at
the
unit
the
volumetric
rate
based
on
how
much
water
is
consumed,
those
charges
are
only
going
up
a
few
cents
per
unit.
Y
The
reason
there
we've
shifted
that
to
point
eight
six
percent
to
recover
a
little
bit
more
on
the
base
charge
to
help
with
our
revenue
stability
to
mitigate
some
of
the
risk,
with
with
how
the
weather
impacts
water
sales.
So
again,
the
overall
increases
the
two
point:
eight
six
percent:
we
put
a
little
bit
more
on
that
base,
charge
and
lessen
the
impact
on
the
water
sales
in
that
yep.
D
Y
We
continue
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
an
incentive
for
industrial
users,
those
larger
users,
economic
development.
They
get
a
break
when
they
exceed
that
threshold
of
fifteen
CCF
as
well.
On
the
wastewater
side,
the
same
approach:
we've
shifted
a
little
bit
of
the
increase
to
the
base
charge.
So
a
forty
cent
per
month
increase
in
the
wastewater
base
charge
is
what
we've
recommended
and
then
again,
if
you
just
you,
know
six
cents
per
unit
on
that
that
first
block
of
wastewater
consumption,
the
seat,
the
combined
sewer
overflow
charge
there.
Y
When
we
look
at
how
all
those
charges
would
impact
a
customer's
bill,
what
they
actually
receive
in
the
mail,
you
see
that
in
2018,
a
typical
residential
customer
at
that
800
cubic
feet
around
6,000
gallons
of
water
consumed
per
month.
I
would
see
an
increase
of
just
under
$2
per
month,
with
the
gradual
increases
thereafter
and
again.
Those
continue
to
be
monitored
and
evaluated
for
any
opportunity
to
lessen
the
future
increases
in
years,
two
through
five,
three
through
five.
Y
Y
We've
updated
the
rate
comparison
that
Steve
presented
earlier
with
the
newly
recommended
waterworks
rates.
I
can
see
still
very
favorable
and
near
the
bottom
of
that
list.
This
does
not
include
any
rate
increases
that
any
of
these
other
utilities
may
put
into
place
in
2018.
This
is
purely
based
on
the
currently
published
rates
for
each
of
those
other
Pier
utilities.
Y
So
as
we
look
forward
again
that
the
forecasted
increases
of
below
4%
per
year
consistently
lower
than
what
we're
seeing
across
the
industry
again,
that
kind
of
slow
and
steady
approach
really
works.
Well
here
and
staff
do
a
great
job
to
kind
of
minimize
costs
and
any
unnecessary
increases,
and
the
focus
again
is
to
make
sure
we're
continuing
to
reinvest
in
our
system
and
keeping
it
in
very
good,
safe
working
order.
So
we
can
provide
services
efficiently
and
way.
That
gets
us
to
questions.
K
K
T
B
All
right,
so
we
also
have
the
minutes
of
the
October
24th
meeting
of
City
Council
they've
been
put
in
your
packets
for
approval.
I
have
a
motion
from
the
Mayor
Pro
Tem
to
approve
in
a
second
from
councillor,
Allen
any
edits
or
changes.
Excuse
me
Corrections
or
errors
of
errors,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor.
Please
state,
aye,
okay
and
will
now
turn
it
over
to
the
city.
Attorney
Clifton

Mister

Right
next
item
is
the
resolution
declaring
intent
to
amend
the
intergovernmental
contract
with
the
Hospital
Authority
of
Columbus
should
be
to
provide
additional
security
for
series
2018
bond
issues
for
acquiring
construction,
equipping
a
skill,
nursing
and
rehab
center
to
be
owned
and
operated
by
the
hospital
authority
of
Columbus
I
know
mr.
Jim
Pannell
John
chef
till
bond
counsel,
they're
here
Brett
Hayes
is
here.
If
there
are
any
questions
from
Council,
some
of
the
other
members
are
here.
S
G
Clifton's
gonna
be
quiet
for
a
moment;
I
guess
no
listen.
We
asked
for
you
guys,
have
backed
our
bonds
and
then
past
years
1999
we
had
an
issuance
to
do
some
capital
projects.
You
guys
back
the
bonds
to
that
I'm.
Sorry,
in
1993
we
had
a
reissuance,
you
guys
back
those
2013
we
had
an
issuance.
It
helps
us
get
a
better
rate
when
the
city
backs
the
bonds
we're
rated
equally,
but
the
city's
rating
helps
us
to
get
a
lower
rate
when
we
go
out
for
a
bond
issuance.
So.
G
G
T
G
T
H
Z
Morning,
Courtney
Rogers
with
that
important
company
financial
adviser,
so
it
wouldn't
count
against
your
debt
ratios
as
long
as
they
are
self-supporting,
and
so
the
key
is.
We
want
their
revenues
to
support
their
operations
as
well
as
debt
service.
If
it
were
to
go
and
tap
the
4
mils,
then
at
that
point
the
rain
cease
could
conceivably
count
that
in
our
ratio.
So
that's
why
it's
important
that
we
make
sure
that
these
guys
run
the
revenues
properly
and
make
sure
that
they're
covering
their
debt
service
and
operations.
T
H
AB
Like
to
hear
a
little
more
from
the
finance
department,
I
know:
we've
honored
a
request
in
the
past,
as
far
as
being
able
to
help
out
with
the
the
lower
interest
rates
and
borrowing
money,
but
I'm
sure
it's
been
already
reviewed
and,
and
you
talked
about
the
debt
service
ratio,
you
talked
about
the
the
amount
of
revenue
available
to
cover
this
I,
just
like
to
have
a
little
bit
more
on
the
comfort
level
from
the
city
aspect
from
our
finance
department.
If,
if
you
could
speak
to
that
and.
AA
This
is
an
arrangement
that
we've
had
with
the
Hospital
Authority
Muskogee
Manor
when
they
have
issued
bonds
in
the
past.
This
is
actually
an
issue
that
came
up
last
year,
and
this
is
now
coming
to
fruition
at
this
point
in
time.
So
it's
something
that
council
has
agreed
to
back
on
the
hospital
authority,
so
they
can
get
a
better
rate
in
the
past.
AA
It
doesn't
impact
our
operations
unless
something
happened
with
the
hospital
Authority
and
the
city
had
to
come
in
and
make
those
debt
service
payments,
and
what
the
council
has
authorized
in
the
past
is
that
we
have
a
seven
mil
cap
that
we
can
utilize
for
hospital
authorities.
Three
Mills
goes
to
the
medical
center
for
indigent
care,
and
this
would
allow
an
additional
millage
to
be
levied
if
the
hospital
authority
was
not
able
to
meet
their
requirements.
AB
Z
No
I
had
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
thought
would
be
helpful
so
that
we
at
least
but
we're
there
in
the
healthcare
business,
is
always
risk,
obviously,
but
having
that
debt
service
reserve,
essentially
it's
a
prepayment
of
debt
services.
What
we're
asking
them
to
do
that
way.
We
have
a
year's
notice
if
there's
an
issue,
and
we
can
try
to
figure
out-
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
work
it
out
so
that
for
Mills
is
there
only
if
there
isn't
an
issue.
R
You
mayor,
yeah
and
I
was
just
gonna
say
that
if
I
recall
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
Pam
but
I
pay
in
the
past,
and
we've
done
this
I
mean
the
Hospital.
Authority
has
a
very
strong
track
record
of
being
able
to
generate
enough
revenues
to
not
only
meet
their
obligations,
but
they've
also
been
able
to
set
aside
money
and
I'm
comforted
a
little
bit
by
their
past
performance,
as
well
as
by
the
sort
of
prepaying,
a
year's
worth
with
the
death
service,
but
I
just
in
a
we've,
never
asked
this.
R
But
but
in
light
of
some
of
the
questions,
our
finance
department
typically
goes
to
a
little
bit
of
a
vetting
process,
not
a
true
underwriting
process.
But
you
certainly
look
at
the
trends
and
and
try
to
and
we
can't
really
see
around
corners
but
we're
doing
what
we
can
to
try
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
very
it's
a
wise
investment
on
our
part
and
the
likelihood
of
accessing
this
millage
is
is
pretty
slim,
barring
some
kind
of
economic
or
fiscal
crash.
That's.
AA
R
AA
S
We
don't
have
to
pay
anything
unless
the
principal
party
cannot
pay
off
the
bonds
and
we
are
requiring
that
they
have
a
year's
worth
of
payment
standing
by
to
pay
off
that
bond,
so
that
our
tax
payers
will
not
see
any
increase
at
this
point
for
anything,
because
these
guys
are
doing
what
we
have
required
them
to
do.
Is
that
a
correct
statement?
Yes,.
B
X
B
B
We
can
call
those
items
up
to
the
city
manager's
agenda
and
and
maybe
get
them
out
of
the
way
and
then
go
into
executive
session
and
do
purchases
and
all
that
stuff
later,
where
there's
no
citizens
that
have
taken
off
work
this
morning
to
be
here:
okay,
let's
move
on
to
the
public
agenda
and
I'm
going
to
call
first,
mr.
Michael
script,
Shire
representing
Vita,
volunteer
income
tax
assistance
and
he
would
like
to
talk
about
free
income
tax
filing
assistance.
Let
me
ask
you
mr.
scripture
before
you
your
up.
Is
this
a
business?
J
Our
coalition
that
Chattahoochee
Valley
by
Coalition
on
Tuesday
June,
the
19th
2007
under
then
seeded
Mayor,
Jim
Wetherington
that
date
was
recognized
and
proclaimed
as
vital
coalition
volunteer
recognition
day.
The
reasoning
for
this
is
because
without
volunteers,
this
program
does
not
run
valid.
Vitus
stands
for
Volunteer
Income
Tax
Assistance
and
is
still
going
strong,
okay
offices
located
throughout
the
Columbus
area,
my
office
at
the
Columbus
Baptist
Association,
an
opposite.
The
Family
Center,
the
goodwill

I've

here.
J
An
instructor
in
the
vitae
program
for
12
years
teach
not
only
the
local
tax
law
but
also
Fort
Benning.
This
will
be
my
first
year,
not
at
Fort
Benning,
due
to
the
fact
that
they
have
taken
on
staff
to
do
that,
but
there
is
absolutely
no
fee
or
donations
solicited
at
anybody:
tax,
preparation,
location
to
the
citizen.
This
is
a
completely
totally
free
service
run
by
IRS
tax
law.
Certified
volunteers,
they're
all
certified
in
tax
all
must
pass
a
written
and
computerized
exam,
usually
taught
by
myself
or
someone
from
goodwill.
J
India
tax
return
brought
in
by
a
citizen
can
and
will
be
electronically
filed
unless
that
particular
citizen
ask
that
it
not
be
done
so
and
we're
simply
trying
to
get
the
word
out
to
the
area.
Excuse
me,
as
was
the
citizen,
goes
to
a
rapid
refund
location
that
starts
opening
about
this
time
of
the
year.
They
really
have
no
idea
of
what
they're
going
to
get
is
a
refund
anticipation
loans
and
is
usually
a
high
interest
loan.
J
The
average
says
and
there's
no
idea
how
much
of
their
refund
is
going
to
pay
back,
that
loan,
I
like
to
say
I
used
to
say
the
corner
of
5th
and
nowhere
and
then
I.
Remember
we
get
a
5th
avenue
in
Columbus.
So
now,
when
I'm
joining
I
just
tell
people
those
that
go
to
what
I
call
the
corner
shop
on
the
corner
of
Santa
Claus
Avenue
in
New,
Year's
Boulevard
and
they
walk
in
and
they
have
that
tax
return
prepared
with
that
last
text
check
stub
for
the
year.
J
Second
they're
going
to
get
this
rapid
refund
they're
actually
getting
a
rapid
refund,
but
it
is
a
loan
and
they
are
as
a
high
interest
loan
and
the
average
citizen
does
not
have
any
idea
just
by
looking
at
their
tax
return,
how
much
they
should
be
receiving
and
a
refund.
So
these
places
can
get
away
of
charging
someone
upwards
of
five
six
to
seven
hundred
dollars
just
to
prepare
the
return,
and
then
it's
usually
done
wrong.
J
Now,
not
speaking
of
your
CPA
offices,
I
do
not
want
to
undermine
them
in
any
way
because
they
do
things
they
generally
handle
tax
returns
that
we
are
not
certified
to
do
through
vitae
so
again
this
year,
under
the
federal
laws,
in
effect,
stating
the
tax
payers
claiming
to
Earned,
Income,
Credit
or
the
child
tax
credit
will
not
be
in
receiving
refunds
and
to
admit
that
way.
That
goes
for
everyone.
J
You
can
file
on
the
first,
a
filing
season,
sometimes
toward
the
end
of
January,
but
you,
the
early
gonna
get
anything
is
the
middle
of
February.
Even
with
the
rapid
refund
companies,
you
will
get
that
check.
But
again
it's
a
high
interest
loan.
There's
no,
absolutely
nothing
you
can
do
about
it
and
a
lot
of
the
places
use
education
credits
on
these
consumers
test
papers
and
I
cannot
count
on
my
fingers.
J
How
many
times
in
the
past
12
years
I've
had
someone
come
to
me
that
has
been
to
one
of
these
places
and
need
to
help
their
return
amended.
The
Ray
and
I
can't
amend
it
because
they've
left
that
place
without
having
a
paper
copy
of
their
tax
return.
If
you
leave
somewhere
without
be
given
being
given
a
paper
copy
of
your
tax
return
chances,
are
they
don't
want
you
to
see
something?
That's
on
it,
please!
J
B
J
Yes,
ma'am
just
we're
going
to
make
the
chemist
as
aware
apologize
to
the
court
of
King
Saul
do
have
a
handout
for
the
counselors
I
will
leave
it
with
her.
I
should
have
sent
it
into
earlier.
It's
just
giving
you
the
locations
and
hours
of
operations
and
porn
a
contact
beach
site.
If
your
constituents
call
you.
B
F
B
If
you
would
just
go
ahead
and
make
your
statement,
then,
whenever
you
have
will
respond,
but
we
do
recall
that
that
you
requested
certain
information.
I
know
the
staff
has
been
responding
to
you.
But
if
you
take
your
time
and
use
it
to
make
your
statement,
then,
when
you
conclude
we'll
have
the
city
attorney
or
whomever
respond
to
your
comments.
I
am.
B
B
AC
B
X
You
know
that
there's
a
response
that
came
from
the
waterworks,
mr.
Reyes,
from
the
waterworks
attorney,
that
is
the
response
and
also
MS
newman,
has
told
mr.
Reyes,
under
the
Public
Records
Act,
that
she
is
giving
him
everything
that
was
responsive.
There
are
no
other
documents
that
exist
in
the
city
control
the
engineers
office
that
are
responsive
to
his
requests.
B
All
right,
mr.
Reyes,
that's
a
response
to
the
city,
then,
whatever
we
have,
we
have
given
to
you,
there'll
be
no
further
response
from
your
demand.
The
other
day
now
the
waterworks,
as
you
may
know,
as
a
separate
Authority
Enterprise,
actually
its
affiliated
with
the
city,
but
it's
a
separate
entity.
They
meet
once
a
month
and
they
have
public
meetings
and
you
can
get
on
their
public
agenda
if
your
issues
are
related
to
the
waterworks,
they
were
here
a
few
moments
ago.
B
They
actually
met
yesterday,
and
so
you
can
call
the
waterworks
or
go
online
and
get
a
list
of
their
public
meetings
and
get
on
their
public
agenda.
Okay,
I
think
you've
appeared
on
their
public
agenda
before
that.
No,
no,
sir!
That's
why
I
wanted
to
make
sure
you
knew
you're
relinquishing
the
podium
all
right.
Well,
thank
you.
I
hope
you
can
get
in
touch
with
the
waterworks
and
if
you
have
anything
further,
you
can
get
with
a
our
director
Newman
about
whatever
else
you
may
have,
or
you
can
get
it
to
us
in
writing.

Mr.

information

otherwise
for

You
have
to
be
very
careful
to
choose
a
plan
that
will
include
all
of
the
medication
that
you
have
under
Medicare,
Part
D,
all
the
seniors.
You
reach
a
certain
threshold,
then
what
we
call
it's
a
the
bottom
goes
out,
so
you
might
have
to
be
coming
out
of
your
pocket
for
any
of
the
medication
that
you
have
in
an
inadvertent
in
a
particular
period.
L
But
she'll
will
do
so.
We'll
sit
down
with
you
and
go
over
your
medication
list
and
decide
what
plan
is
the
best
plan
for
you
for
your
medication
and
for
your
healthcare
needs?
There's
two
situations
here:
it's
your
particular
health
care
needs
as
an
individual
Dennis.
The
medications
that
you're
going
to
be
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
receive
under
a
certain
plan
for
a
year.
L
M
My
contact
number
is
seven,
zero,
six,
two
five,
six,
two
nine
one.
Seventy
and
I
am
sure
there
are
a
couple
of
programs,
sue
that
helps
seniors,
save
money
with
their
drug
prescription
plan
and
their
their
Medicare
premium,
and
that's
the.
But
you
know
the
premium
they
pay
to
have
their
Part
B.
It's
called
a
extra
help
in
the
Medicare
savings
program
and
we
do
those
applications
in
our
office
and.
L
That's
extremely
important
because
there
is
extra
help
for
seniors.
I
just
want
to
bring
a
case
in
point
about
three
or
four
years
ago.
I
was
in
my
home
Philadelphia,
and
my
godmother,
who
was
92
then,
was
having
trouble
getting
up
thalmic
drugs.
Ophthalmic
medication
is
one
of
the
most
difficult
ones
for
seniors
to
get
and
by
the
way,
the
most
costly.
So
what
Shamika?
At
that
time,
she
was
working
on
doing
what
Cheryl's
doing
she
made
a
call
and
we
did
a
three-way
and
she
did
two
things.
L
She
arranged
for
a
reduction
in
the
cost
of
my
godmothers,
ophthalmic
meds
and
she
also
arranged
for
extra
help,
just
extra
help
available
for
seniors
that
they
become
be
completely
unaware
of
so
in
one
sitting.
Shirl
can
arrange
to
tell
that,
and
let
me
just
say
something
else:
the
programs
are
good
but
there,
but
but
there's
Genna
like
a
maze
and
it's
very
difficult
for
individuals
that
go
through
especially
seniors
what
Cheryl
she's
trained
she.
She
goes
through
that
financial
maze
for
seniors
and
gets
the
best
plan.
L
She
also
can
arrange
and
find
out
if
that
senior
qualifies
for
additional
help
which
for
seniors,
that
is
extremely
extremely
important
because
seniors
on
fixed
incomes
and
if
senior
has
more
month
than
they've
got
money.
It's
crucial,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
but
I
just
want
to
make
people
aware
of
this
ship
program
tell
them
again
Cheryl
how
they
can
get
in
touch
with
you
at.
M
V
H
B
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
what
you
do
great
great
service
provided.
That
concludes
our
public
agenda
and
mr.
city
manager.
We're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
May
I
suggest
moving
up
the
collateralization
method
to
the
top
of
your
agenda
and
the
jail
kitchen
update.
Then
we'll
take
a
short
break
for
the
executive
session.
We
need
to
have
and
come
back
I
know.
B
W
U
Good
morning,
again,
okay,
so
what's
being
passed
around
as
a
memo
that
we
received
from
our
contracted
vendors
to
Novus
Bank,
one
of
the
things
that
was
presented
to
us
by
Synovus
was
change
in
our
collateralization
method.
Currently,
we
utilize
a
dedicated
collateralization
method,
which
means
that
Synovus
guarantees
our
deposits
up
to
110
percent,
as
required
by
state
law.
They
do
this
by
pledging
securities
in
our
name.
U
We
recently
been
notified
by
Synovus
that
they
are
will
be
participate
in
the
state's
pooled
method.
As
of
the
1st
of
January
2018,
what
that
means
for
us
is
that,
once
the
novus
is
a
participant
in
the
pool,
they
can
no
longer
offer
the
dedicated
method.
So
we'll
have
to
agree
to
be
a
part
of
the
the
pool
method.
They've
ensured
us
that
none
of
the
requirements
as
far
as
reporting
monitoring
custodial
requirements.
All
of
those
will
remain
the
same
under
this
pool
method
as
it
was
under
the
dedicated
method.
Just
a
little
background.
U
As
far
as
the
pool
method,
it
was
I
believe
in
2016
the
state
passed
a
bill
that
required
banks
with
more
than
50
billion
in
assets
to
participate
in
the
pool.
Synovus
Bank
is
a
thirty
billion
dollar
asset
bank
and
they
apply
to
participate
in
the
pool
voluntarily,
and
so
the
impact
is
that
we
are
now
a
part
of
the
pool
and
our
collateral
deposits
will
be
collateral
collateralized
using
the
pooled
method,
as
opposed
to
the
dedicated
method,
and
we
do
have
representatives
here
from
Synovus
bank.
U
But
there
are
risk
under
both
methods
in
the
event,
in
the
event
of
bank
failure,
there's
a
risk
of
on
collateralization
currently
and
our
belief.
State
law
requires
us
to
be
cloud
collateralized
within
10
days.
Our
current
contract,
which
Synovus
requires
them
to
Clara,
lies
us
within
3
days
and
under
this
pool
method
is
also
within
3
days,
so
we'll
still
protect,
what's
still
under
the
same
protections
under
the
pool
method,
as
we
were
under
the
dedicated
method.
B
W
I
We
just
were
asked
to
bring
an
update,
so
to
speak
of
when
we
were
moving
ahead
and,
of
course,
lieutenant
give
hands,
and
he
and
chief
Culpepper
have
kind
of
taken
the
lead
on
this
project.
I
do
want
to
give
just
a
tiny
bit
of
background
on
it.
When
I
first
came
into
office,
we
were
talking
about
a
patch,
perhaps
for
fixing
this
floor,
chief
Culpepper
went
down
and
got
with
Lieutenant
Anthony.
I
We
discovered
at
that
time
that
there's
been
talk
about
this
floor
since
2015
I
believe
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
city
manager
and
he
suggested
that
our
city
engineer
come
down
and
look
at
that
floor
somewhere
before
that
that
we
were
talking
about
approximately
$125,000
to
fix
the
floor.
Once
the
city
engineer
came
down,
he
explained
that
some
of
this
was
structural
and
would
really
need
to
install
drainage
underneath
that
floor.
Otherwise
we
would
be
right
back
in
the
same
situation
within
a
couple
of
years.
I
What
we
didn't
foresee
at
that
time
also
was
that
fact
that
they
would
have
to
completely
gut
Nannes
out
of
this
kitchen
to
install
those
drains
and
during
that
whole
process,
that
kitchen
would
be
unusable
for
the
inmates
so
or
for
us
to
prepare
meals.
So,
as
we
begin
to
move
forward
with
this
project,
one
of
the
other
things
that
became
important
was
the
fact
that
we
now
have
Thanksgiving
and
Christmas,
and
we
needed
30
days
of
of
dedicated
service
to
working
on
this
project.
And
you
know
most
contractors
are
not
they're.
I
Gonna
want
to
take
a
little
time
off
for
Christmas
and
things
like
that.
But
it's
very
important
for
us
to
get
the
project
done
within
the
30-day
mark
so
that
the
costs
are
maintained
to
everyone
now.
I
can
give
you
specific
dates
if
you're
looking
for
that,
but
I
will
say
that
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
this
morning
that
the
inmates
also
watch
the
City
Council
presentations,
so
so
I'm
not
quite
sure
that
specific
dates
for
a
lot
of
things
are
good.
I
But
I
will
tell
you
that
our
plan
at
this
moment
is
beginning
on
January.
The
second
we
should
have
that
mobile
kitchen.
You
know
coming
our
way
and
going
live
ultimately
with
all
the
paper
goods
in
the
mobile
kitchen
sometime
around
January
8th
again,
we
needed
30
days
of
uninterrupted
service.
But
if
you
have
other
questions,
perhaps
lieutenant
Anthony
would
be
better
served
to
answer
some
of
those
on
specifics.
I
B
D
W
B
That's
well
if
you've
got
today,
why
don't
we
go
ahead
and
get
the
executive
sessions?
You've
got
other
people
who
are
waiting
so
I'll
entertain
a
motion
for
executive
session
all
right-
and
this
is
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
session
on
matters
of
personnel
and
limb,
potential
litigation.
All
those
in
favor,
please
state
aye,
any
opposed
all
right.
If
you
would
please
clear
the
chambers.
B
AC
B
B
S
Thank
You
mayor
this
position
is
a
new
position.
You
will
recall
that
when
we
started
looking
at
the
recorders
court,
we
eliminated
a
position
and
created
a
new
position,
and
so
this
one
is
a
new
position
and
the
salary
is
about
the
same
as
what
we
were
paying
before
for
one
of
those
positions.
Miss
Willingham
has
a
wealth
of
experience
in
managing
in
courtrooms
in
courts.
I'm,
sorry
and
she
brings
to
us
several
of
the
skills
that
we
have
been
looking
for
in
recorders
court.
S
The
committee
thinks,
with
Miss
Willingham's
hire
and
the
appointment
of
judge
hunter
as
the
chief
judge
for
recorders
court
that
we
are
well
on
our
way
to
having
the
stellar
recorders
court
in
the
in
the
state,
so
I
appreciate
and
councillor
Allen
and
councillor
Barnes
were
on
that
committee
with
me,
and
we
appreciate
your
support
and
your
enthusiastic
hiring
of
Miss
Willingham.
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
W
You,
madam
mayor
number,
one
on
my
agenda
comes
from
Judge
Steven
Smith.
It's
an
addition
and
add-on
to
our
legislative
agenda
list,
requesting
approval
to
add
item
20
on
to
the
2018
legislative
agenda,
to
request
local
legislation
to
increase
the
civil
jurisdiction
of
Municipal
Court
from
15,000
to
$50,000.
Q
T
B
X
B
AD
Morning,
I'll
be
free
from
this
meadow
mayor
members
of
council.
You
have
before
you
today
of
a
policy
about
how
we
deal
with
complete
Street
projects
in
this
community,
Complete
Streets
being
not
only
looking
at
cars
and
trucks,
we're
also
looking
at
completing
the
streets
with
sidewalks
pedestrians
or
bike,
or
bike
lanes
also
dealing
with
transit,
and
this
policy
established
how
we
will
look
at
determining
what
streets
should
be
considered,
a
complete
Street
or
not
involved
with
that.
AD
The
this
lays
out
everything
in
terms
of
establishing
of
committee,
the
things
we
look
at
in
terms
of
the
actual
standards
for
the
for
that
committee
based
off
national
standards
itself
involved
with
that.
The
one
thing
I
do
want
to
point
out
to
you,
though,
involved
with
all
this
involve
the
Committee
on
page
four,
that
that
is
that
isn't
in
error.
This
is
an
old.
This
is
actually
an
old
report
we
put
together
on
the
policy
itself,
would
identifies
two
complete
Street
criteria
and
so
forth.
AD
The
whole
idea
again
with
this
policy
is
for
us
to
determine
what
roadways
in
this
community
will
be
considered
as
a
complete
street,
with
that
recommendation
back
to
Council.
Involve
that
the
one
thing
also
I'll
point
out
to
you
that
isn't
still
involved
here
is
an
annual
report.
We
will
provide
you
counsel
on
what
streets
have
been
changed
or
been
reviewed
and
so
forth,
and
why
that
happened
so
we're
asking
this
morning
for
you
to
adopt
this
Complete
Streets
policy.
So
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
putting
this
into
action.
Okay,.
D
Appreciate
your
presentation
this
morning,
but
I'd
like
to
ask
counsel
for
delay
so
that
we
can
meet
with
you
and
engineering
down
a
Neumann
city
manager,
City
Attorney,
it
kind
of
got
on.
He
was
wrapped
around.
What's
going
on,
I
read
through
it,
there's
a
lot
of
details
that
I
don't
quite
understand.
That's.
AD
D
P
AD
Do
tea
is
his
put
off
any
type
of
resurfacing?
That
was
the
whole
idea.
We
take
advantage
of
the
resurfacing
if
we
wonder
to
restrike
before
you
protect
the
reason
they
having
to
put
that
off
to
at
least
to
the
spring
movie
later
in
guava
this
we
have
not
done
anything
additional
to
the
13th
either
way
on
that
at
this
point.
Well,.
P
AD
AD
P
W
A
W
B
D
In
addition
to
councillor
allen,
council
allen,
yeah,
in
addition
to
what
you
were
saying,
there
was
some
I
guess:
presentation,
information
that
came
out
that
there
was
a
group
that
had
a
grant
that
they
were
trying
to
use
that
money
to
determine
whether
G
dot
should
change
13th
Street
any
update
on
that.
No.
AD
AD
D
W
T
W
Madam,
it
will
delay
that
when
then
come
back
after
council.
Huff
has
gotten
his
questions
answered.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
on
to
number
three
on
my
agenda.
It's
a
lease
agreement.
919
lawyers
Lane

2401,
Buena,
Vista

from
Community
Reinvestment,
but
we
were
a

lease
agreement
with
New

for
three
thousand
three
hundred
ninety

you'll

items
A
through
F,

B
I
can
read
them
into
the
record:
a
office
supplies
annual
contract,
be
environmental,
consulting
services

It's
an

W
W
Are
at

it
comes
from
District

will
requested
to

asking

and
there

there's
a

on
this
particular
grant
and
there
is
no
income
requirement.
Okay,.
B
W
AA
Good
morning
we
have
been
working
with
the
development
authority
on
a
solar
farm
project
out
close
to
MCP.
Just
to
give
you
some
perspective,
it
would
be
in
a
vacant
underutilized
city
property.
The
proposal
would
be
for
us
to
lease
the
property
to
the
development
authority,
which
will
be
on
a
future
council
meeting,
but
we
wanted
mr.
Morey
to
come
forward.
AA
He's
the
company
that
the
development
authority
has
been
working
with
to
locate
this
solar
farm
on
this
piece
of
property,
that's
owned
by
the
city,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
educate
counsel
on
this
particular
project,
something
new
to
the
city
of
Columbus.
We
don't
have
any
solar
farms
in
the
City
of
Columbus,
but
this
is
a
property
and-
and
we
have
it
on
the
slides
of
the
location
and
where
this
will
be
located.
So
at
this
time,
I'll
have
mr.
Morey
come
forward
with
a
brief
presentation.
AE
Good
morning,
first,
thank
you
very
much
to
city
manager
Hughley
for
allowing
us
to
present
on
the
project.
Today,
we've
enjoyed
working
with
the
team,
including
deputy
city
manager,
Hodge
City,
Attorney
chef
tall
and
with
Bryan
Salido,
also
with
the
development
authority,
and
thank
you
very
much,
madam
mayor
to
you
for
meeting
last
week
on
the
project
as
well.
AE
The
the
project
here
is
one
that
we're
very
excited
about,
because
it
goes
to
something
that
our
company
focuses
on,
which
is
finding
underutilized
property
in
locations
that
can
be
utilized
effectively
for
solar
energy
and
the
components
of
solar
energy
that
really
are
effective
for
projects
like
this,
which
we
refer
to
as
distributed
solar
energy
project,
meaning
located
on
the
distribution
grid
of
the
utility.
Those
components
include
having
large
load
power
users
nearby
to
the
actual
solar
energy,
so
that
the
solar
energy
can
be
consumed
efficiently
at
the
location
on
the
grid.
AE
In
this
instance,
we've
proposed
to
enter
into
an
agreement
long
term
agreement
that,
with
the
development
authority
to
lease
property
for
the
development
of
a
solar
farm
that
would
supply
energy
to
Georgia
Power's
grid
at
this
location.
So
this
would
be
effectively
if
you
kind
of
think
about
it
as
an
urban
solar
farm
located
on
property.
AE
That
really,
you
know,
we
would
argue,
as
is
underutilized
in
an
area
that
is
got
a
lot
going
on
in
the
city
of
Columbus
right
there,
along
Technology
Parkway,
where
the
city
is
working
to
recruit
lots
of
large
employers,
who
also
are
very
driven
to
embrace
things
around
clean
energy,
renewable
energy.
These
days,
the.
If
you
look
at
your
slides
on
the
second
slide,
how
do
we
pancit
forward?
AE
That's
just
a
brief
overview
of
our
company.
We
did
develop
and
our
majority
owners
in
a
solar
farm
at
Jimmy,
Carter's,
land
and
Plains
Georgia
just
down
the
street.
We've
got
substantial
experience
with
Georgia
Power
Program,
similar
to
that
that
we're
pursuing
here
an
overview
of
this
site,
so
this
project
would
be
up
to
two
megawatts
in
size
under
Georgia
Power,
renewable
energy
development
initiative,
which
is
the
name
of
their
most
recent
distributed
energy
solar
program.
The
estimated
solar
production
from
the
two
megawatt
project
would
be
just
over
3.4
million
kilowatt
hours
annually.
AE
AE
Importantly,
here
these
projects,
this
project
in
particular,
would
produce
substantial
revenue
for
the
city
County
through
both
the
solar
land
lease
and
also
significant
tax
revenue
on
the
capital
investment.
The
combination
of
those
two
revenue
streams
would
produce
over
a
million
dollars
in
combined
revenue
over
the
system's
life.
In
our
view,
we
believe
this
is
an
innovative
and
highest
and
best
use
of
underutilized
land
along
Technology
Parkway
and
an
exciting
renewable
energy
or
green
initiative
for
the
City
of
Columbus.
AE
If
you
look
at
your
next
slide,
this
is
an
aerial
view
of
the
proposed
project
design
and
we
are
proposing
a
single
axis
tracker
solar
system.
So
the
distinction
between
the
two
most
common
types
of
solar
farms
are
either
fixed
tilt
solar
panels,
where
typically
the
panels
are
oriented
due
south
and
they're
fixed
in
place,
but
here
we're
proposing
and
based
on
the
topography
of
the
land.
AE
We
believe
the
design
is
best
suited
for
a
single
axis
tracker
system,
where
the
system
will
have
essentially
motors
that
power,
the
rods
that
support
the
panels
and
the
panels
start
off
on
the
east
to
the
east,
where
the
Sun
rises
each
day
and
those
motors
tilt
the
panel's
electronically
to
the
west
and
track
the
Sun
throughout
the
day.
The
advantage
of
these
projects
are
that
they
produce
more
power
and
the
fact
that
they
track
the
Sun.
AE
That
may
be
difficult
for
development,
but
in
this
case
setup,
ok
for
us
to
install
the
the
posts
to
support
the
solar
array
going
to
the
next
slide.
This
just
is
included
to
show
a
broader
perspective
of
where
we're
proposing
this.
We
believe
that
this
location
is
a
good
one
from
a
standpoint
of
being
proximate
and
really
encapsulants
and
away
from
residential
use.
So
from
this
standpoint,
we
think
it's
a
positive
location
also
given
its
proximity
to
technology
Parkway
believe
we
believe
it
becomes.
W
W
AA
Would
be
MCP,
so
you
can
see
the
location
of
where
this
solar
farm
is
being
proposed.
This
would
generate
estimated
about
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
the
city,
both
in
rental
income.
Even
though
this
will
go
through
the
development
authority,
the
city
will
receive
the
lease
revenue
from
this
particular
lease
agreement,
as
well
as
the
real
property
or
property
tax
revenue
totaling
about
$25,000
per
year.
AA
AA
AA
AA

So
Mattamy
we
wanted
to
try
and
answer
any
questions
or
concerns.
This
is
something
that
we
are
working
with
the
Development
Authority
and
would
bring
it
back
on
the
city
manager's
agenda
at
the
next
business
meeting
on
the
28th
to
allow
us
to
move
forward
with
the
agreement
with
development
authority
and
with
Sol
America
great.
AD
Good
morning
again,
we
wanted
to
come
to
this
morning
and
share
with
you
some
of
the
conversations
we've
had
with
in
our
meetings
and
whatnot
over
the
last
several
months
and
go
forth
from
that
standpoint.
You
may
you
may
recall,
and
looking
at
what
we
talked
about
in
the
past,
with
a
goal
for
it
we're
trying
to
outline
really
in
terms
of
everything
we
got
going
with
the
planning
process.
AD
What
what
that
area
really
could
become
some
of
the
goals
we
had
in
mind
here,
of
course,
are
restoring
and
maintaining
the
viability
of
the
area,
the
sense
of
pride
providing
safe
and
livable
neighborhood.
These
are
all
goals
and
objectives.
We
tried
to
try
to
achieve
and
really
when
we
sat
down
and
really
sat
down
with
when
we
had
the
meetings
itself
and
talk
with
folks,
we
want
to
know
what
is
your
vision
for
the
area?
What
are
you
what?
What
should
we
really
be
trying
to
accomplish
as
a
community
here
for
this?
AD
This
whole
area,
of
course,
of
things
like
rezoning
for
designate
areas
that
one
to
go
the
got
on
here
as
well
as
long
as
encouraging
not
really
reinvested
back
into
the
Liberty
district
area
itself.
From
that
standpoint,
you
should
know
that
we've
had
it
over
the
last
sort
of
months
as
I
say,
we've
had
three
public
means
have
been
held
on
different
occasions.
We've
met
on
may
30th
at
the
Government
Center
annex
on
July
11th
at
the
Liberty
Liberty
theater
itself,
and
then
on
August
15th.
AD
We
melted
the
military
library
three
separate
meetings
pretty
much
with
the
same
at
all
the
same
agenda,
just
to
make
sure
we
covered
our
bases
and
gave
folks
of
the
plenty
opportunity
to
talk
and
present
their
ideas
for
the
area
itself
from
those
public
meetings.
Really,
we
took
away
some
things
that
again,
citizens
were
encouraged
to
make
comments
and
give
us
their
their
hopes
or
dreams
and
their
needs
for
this
area.
Those
comments
will
record
a
course,
and
we've
now
have
already
present
them
back.
They
came
to
the
kiddo
comments.
AD
We
heard,
though,
came
back
really
in
these
four
categories.
We're
going
to
show
you
here
real
quick
in
terms
of
redevelopment
looking
at
the
master
plan,
the
existing
master
plan
for
the
area,
so
what
we
need,
what
we
need
in
terms
of
economic
development
and
what
can
be
achieved
as
far
as
little
ability
for
that
area
itself.
These
are
the
comments
we
heard
back.
We're
gonna
start
off
with
redevelopment.
First
is
from
that
aspect.
AD
Lack
of
funding
was
a
key
issue
here
we
heard
in
terms
of
the
redevelopment
activities
not
only
from
the
city
but
from
redevelopment
activities
from
developers
themselves
in
terms
of
coming
back
to
it,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
folks
felt
that
they
were
being
left
out
of
the
process.
That
was
the
specialist
master
planning
process
again.
That
was
the
idea
of
having
these
meetings
begin
with
is
to
make
sure
they
were
included
in
that
the
timeline
itself.
AD
AD
Future
parking
concerns
were
going
to
worse
than
issues
was
brought
up
to
us,
the
preservation
of
history
and
culture
in
this
area,
in
particular
with
a
key
item
that
folks
want
to
make
sure
we
took
care
of,
and
then
this
idea
again
with
lack
of
investment,
not
seeing
any
real
investment
in
terms
of
things
that
have
happened
over
the
years
and
whether
it
be
the
improvement
to
the
infrastructure
to
the
area
itself
in
terms
of
the
city
buying
property
itself,
that
lack
of
investment
was
a
real
concern.
We
heard
from
from
that
standpoint.
AD
Under
the
master
plan
itself,
there
is
the
actual
plan
for
the
Liberty
district
itself,
and
this
one
reason
we
went
back
on
aisle
also
is
to
hear
that
to
make
sure
everybody
said,
knew
what
they
knew
that
plan
and
what
it
could
achieve
and
do
we
need
to
go
further
with
that,
then
we'll
make
sure
you
master
plan
had
a
history
of
the
area's
from
the
from
the
standpoint
of
capturing
what
wickets
gone
on
in
the
past
night
area.
They
were
concerned
also,
they
would
make
sure
there
were
some
planned
champions.
AD
It
was
someone
that
was
really
going
to
actually
lead
this
effort,
and
that
has
to
be
the
necessary
to
be
a
city.
In
fact,
it
probably
shouldn't
be
the
city,
it
needs
to
be
a
resident
or
if
someone
has
an
interest
in
that
area
to
be
that
champion,
establishment
Liberty
district
committee
that
would
help
help
them
get
through
the
process,
help
them
actually
start
implementing
some
things
that
are
going
on
from
the
from
that
processes.
So
there
was
also
construction
tinsy
by
reusing
most
of
the
existing
or
the
existing
plan
itself.
AD
Now,
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
just
follow
through
what
we
started
five
ten
years
ago
and
make
sure
that
plan
actually
became
the
kingdom
a
reality,
there
wasn't.
There
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
interest
really
in
reinventing
that
wheel
in
terms
of
starting
over
the
master
plan.
They
really
felt
like
that
was
the
issue
that
should
go
forward
and
again
this,
including
of
minorities
and
the
redox
redevelopment
process.
Anything
we
do
anything
we
try
to
achieve.
AD
Of
course,
it's
got
to
have
buy-in
from
from
folks
who
either
live
in
the
area
or
work
in
the
area
or
have
a
business
interest
or
whatever,
and
that's
what
we
intend
to
try
to
achieve
here.
From
that
standpoint,
economic
development
is
also
a
key
factor.
We
heard
in
terms
of
comments
love
to
lump
them
into
this
a
category.
Of
course
they
want
to
see
more
commercial
development
happen
in
that
area.
They
believe
the
areas
is.
Is
it's
somewhat
right
for
that
to
happen?
AD
They
want
to
make
sure
the
income
increase
in
the
area
itself
in
terms
of
seeing
payroll
or
people's
jobs,
whatever
they've
got
the
opportunity
to
to
earn
a
good
living
in
that
area.
So
we've
talked
about
the
use
of
active
tax
allocation
district.
That
is
one,
of
course
they
believe
now
it
needs
to
be
implemented
and
put
in
place
and
far
as
making
that
really
happen.
AD
Of
course,
for
that
to
happen,
we
got
to
have
a
developer
or
someone
that
some
interests
come
in
there
and
want
to
utilize
that
that
tool,
the
good
news
about
all
that
is
that
to
is
actually
in
place
now
make
that
happen.
It's
just
a
matter
of
finding
the
right,
the
right
person
to
kind
of
a
right
entity
to
come
in
and
take
care
of
that
they
wanted
to
make
sure
to
see.
AD
If
there's
there
any
additional
incentives,
we
could
offer
we'll
look
at
that
possibility
in
terms
of
doing
again,
primarily
with
the
tax
allocation
district
itself,
marking
style
developments.
They
want
to
see
things
along
the
lines
of
our
plan.
You
develop
more
if
something
comes
in
it
not
only
encompasses
residential
uses,
but
also
involves
commercial
and
office
that
operate
and
well.
AD
Is
it
happening
that
area
grocery
stores,
of
course,
or
a
key
factor
that
folks
saying
that
they
really
don't
have
a
convenient
way
to
go
shopping,
especially
for
groceries
in
this
in
this
particular
layer,
and
we
understand
that
that
was
a
concern
that
was
raised
with
us
in
that
standpoint.
Well,
livability
was
a
key
with
a
key
factor
also
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
what
we
heard
from
these
meetings
in
the
parking
concerns
deal
with
the
african-american
culture
and
preserving
that
and
taking
care
of
that
flood
prevention
upgrades.
AD
You
know
we
we,
as
a
city,
has
spent
an
enormous
amount
of
money
over
the
years
in
terms
of
helping
and
try
and
improve
the
the
flooding
conditions
along
there.
One
the
key
factors
we've
told
those
those
folks
didn't
in
in
the
meeting
is
we
haven't
cured
that
problem
we
have.
We
have
certainly
made
of
me
a
lot
better
than
what
it
was
in
terms
of
dealing
with
flooding
issues
there
and
they're,
looking
also
for
greater
historical
and
cultural
outreach
programs.
AD
Yeah
I
understand
this
growing
up
in
Columbus
and
looking
better
than
say
my
hope,
but
not
better
than
those
actually
lived
and
worked
in
that
area,
but
I
understand
the
real
need
for
us
to
concentrate
on
that
area
to
protect
that
area,
hopefully
bring
it
back
to
something
once
once
was
20
30
40
years
ago.
That's
a
challenge
but
I
think
with
something
we
need
to
be
working
toward.
As
a
community
also
on
the
livability
was
making
sure
we
hang
a
right
at
inclusive
community
that
we
provide
the
things
like
better
landscaping.
AD
I
think
the
effort
we
pay
along
5th
s
certainly
in
hand
set,
make
sure
it
is
walk
away.
Has
the
walkability
when
we
say
things
like
you,
can
walk
to
the
store
from
your
house
or
walk
to
work
or
whatever
the
case
may
be
this
other
one
I
left
with
on
purpose.
As
last
his
gentle
fication
issue
is
we've.
AD
AD
That's
not
our
intent
here,
but
it's
something
we
need
be
mindful
about
as
we
go
along
when
we
still
in
this
area
does
redevelop
not
not
not
win
or
if,
but
that,
when
it
does
actually
redevelop
is
as
a
commune.
We
can't
make
sure
we
protect
those
who
are
living
in
that
area
as
best
we
can
from
that
standpoint
here
to
our
next
steps
here
tonight
we
have
a
poet
meeting
tonight.
We're
at
6
p.m.
will
evacuate
military
library
against
these
very
findings.
We're
presenting
to
you
first
here
today.
AD
So
they
understand
that
we
did
hear
them.
We
will
make
sure
we
got
what
we
heard
was
correct
and
if
there's
anything
else,
they
can
add.
It
certainly
add
to
that
list
involved
with
that.
The
next
thing
is
I.
Think
we
recommend
to
you:
is
a
council
come
back
and
actually
a
appoint
another
committee
to
look
at
this.
AD
This
thing
to
bring
this
group
together
with
the
understanding
that
there's
a
committee
will
look
at
the
existing
plan
and
if
we
work
sworps
fine
that
doesn't
we'll
figure
out
next
steps
in
terms
of
where
we
need
to
go
from
that,
whether
it
bring
another
consultant
or
we
do
have
to
do
additional
work
or
whatever
that's
general
consensus.
I'm
hearing
right
now
is
the
existing
plan.
We
have
works
in
most
part
or
could
work.
AD
It
just
needs
some
fine-tuning
and
if
that's
the
case,
that's
fine,
but
that's
what
this
committee
really
needs
to
bring
to
us
now.
All
the
representatives,
of
course
has
to
come
from
the
Liberty
air.
In
fact,
I've
encouraged.
They
don't
because
they're
coming
from
outside
interests,
I
hope
that's
going
to
be
involved
it
as
their
area
as
well.
I
want
to
see
it
come
back
to
full
fruition,
so
we're
looking
at
that
we'd
ask
again
much
like
we
did
with
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
AD
We
could
write
that
citizen
group
together
as
a
committee
itself,
and
then
we
would
ask
if
we'd
probably
done
it,
that
the
committee
not
be
a
standing
committee
from
here
on
out
that
they
come
back
with
a
recommendation
to
us,
probably
no
more
than
180
days
out.
We
start
this
in
January
I
would
hope
by
June
July.
They
come
back
with
some
recommendations,
so
we
can
start
seeing
some
real
action
happening
around
again.
Just
for
those
who
are
who
are
watching
on
TV
is
not
we
are
at.
We
are
having
another
Liberty
district
meeting
tonight.
AD
D
Director
Jones,
thank
you
for
the
update,
fair,
well
done
very
well
done.
I
think
you
covered
most
of
the
major
points
that
or
interests
of
myself
and
others,
and
hopefully
the
meeting
will
go
well
tonight
and
will
we,
as
a
council,
be
trying
to
put
together
a
large
committees
and
everybody
appoints
a
person?
You
know
what
size
committee
you're
looking
for.
AD
I
would
think
we're
just,
but
really
maybe
one
member
from
each
council
member
again
with
the
with
help
from
the
mayor's
it
gets
involved
with
that
as
well.
Creating
type
of
a
point
she
may
want
to
make
I
will
bring
that
committee
together
and
work
with
them
and
decide
how
we
can
go
from
that
again.
D
AD
AD
D
D
W
D
AD
Again,
counselor
I
would
think.
Could
you
he'll
be
that
one
appointment
from
each
council
member
here
on
that
again
I
think
that
city
manager
has
alluded
to,
though
we
need
to
make
sure
that
that's
that's
the
right
format.
We
want
to
look
at
okay.
We
can
bring
that
back
to
you,
the
next
council
meeting
to
make
that
work.
Well,
would
you.
AD
W
AD
AD
W
W
I
think
you're
absolutely
correct
in
that,
but
in
that
land
area
you
can
actually
to
do
a
lot
and
in
a
small
area,
I
think
about
how
much
land
area
around
Broad
Street
from
9
to
15.
You
know
it's
not
a
lot
of
land
area,
but
you
got
a
lot
there
and
so
I
don't
know
what
will
happen
with
the
Liberty
district
as
a
whole,
but
I
think
you
can
do
a
lot
with
a
little
bit
of
land.
V
W
V
W
We're
appointing
a
committee
much
like
we
did
with
city
village
and
the
comp
plan
and
some
other
things,
because
it
you
know
we
want
them
to
be
persons
who,
in
organizations
businesses
with
an
interest
in
the
area,
stakeholders
or
once
stakeholders
who
want
to
see
it
revitalized.
And
so,
if
they
are
interested
in
the
area
and
they
then
they
are
likely
to
be
excited
about
it
and
will
work
harder
and
try
and
make
sure
that
they
hold
on
to
the
interest
that
you've
seen
outlined
here
today
and
so
I.
Think.
W
V
B
Is
that
the
point
of
what
this
group
would
do
is
actually
get
a
specific
development
plan
in
place,
because
what
the
exist
for
the
Liberty
district
goes
back
20-something
years
and
it
was
largely
emphasized
infrastructure
and
that
infrastructure
has
been
largely
put
in,
and
so
it's
almost
like,
you
need
another
more
specified
plan.
Is
that
I
thought.
AD
AD
In
fact,
I
would
encourage
it,
but
I'd
like
to
have
that
plan
in
action
so
that
when
someone
someone
comes
in
there,
we
say
here's
our
plan.
Can
you
meet
that
plan?
Then
you'd
say
yes
or
no.
We
need
to
modify
it
or
something
else,
but
we
all
have
an
understanding
about.
At
least
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
in
the
delivery
district.
W
AD
Should
have
it
on
our
our
website,
which
is
Columbus,
GA
dot,
org
ford,
slash,
planning,
you'll,
see
it
on
our
page.
There
identifies
the
Liberty
District
and
there
should
be
a
copy
there.
If
they
cannot
find
it,
they
can
certainly
call
our
offices
and
we
were
glad
to
a
ride
them
a
copy
of
that.
We
need
to
try
to
email
it
to
them
or
we
can
actually
run
my
copy.
I
wanted
to
I
know.
S
That
having
attended
those
meetings,
there
was
a
good
bit
of
discussion
at
each
one
of
them
about
implementing
that
plan,
and
what
portion
of
that
plan
still
was
something
that
we
ought
to
implement.
You
know
still
was
a
good,
a
good
plan.
I
do
want
to
commend
you
and
your
staff
and
the
others
who
conducted
those
meetings.
They
were
not
always
easy
to
conduct.
There
were
some
people
who
were
not
pleased
with
what
was
going
on
or
was
not
going
on,
and
you
and
your
staff
I
think
handled
that
very
well.
S
S
What
still
needs
to
be
accomplished,
see
if
there
needs
to
be
I,
would
think
that
there
probably
doesn't
need
to
be
dramatic
changes
in
that
plan,
but
there
may
be
some
changes
that
we
need
to
do,
but
we
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
the
buy-in
of
our
citizens
to
do
that.
One
of
the
real
issues
that
was
brought
up
that
I
would
love
to
see
somebody
take
hold
of
and
go
with.
Is
this
champion
for
the
Liberty
district?
S
We
talked
at
each
one
of
those
meetings
about
the
fact
that
uptown
Columbus
was
pretty
much
the
champion.
If
you
will
for
the
redevelopment
in
Uptown
Columbus,
the
city
village
had
a
group
that
was
pretty
much
the
champion
for
city,
village
and,
and
that
has
moved
along,
there's
not
been
a
specific
designated
if
you
will
identify
group
or
champion
for
the
Liberty
district,
and
it
would
be
a
tremendous
aid,
I
think
in
getting
all
of
these
things
that
you're
talking
about
moving.
S
If
there
was
such
a
group
and
if
there's
anybody
interested
in
putting
such
a
group
together,
I
think
that
we
have
the
resources
to
assist
in
putting
such
a
group
together,
and
it
would
make
a
big
difference
in
what
happens
in
the
Liberty
district.
But
again,
I
just
want
to
compliment
you
and
your
staff
for
a
job
well
done.
Thank.
AD
You
very
much
I
think
I
think
you're
spot
on
in
terms
of
the
idea
of
somebody.
That's
it's
gonna
have
buy-in
to
into
this
other
than
City
I
know.
There's
no.
The
city
manager
has
made
that
recommendation
and
I've
also
spoken
to
representatives
at
the
uptown
uptown
Inc
as
possible,
bringing
being
mentors
to
bring
somebody
together
on
this.
They
can
do
basically
some
of
the
same
thing
and
they
have
so
far
been
amenable
to
that
idea.
AD
B
W
W
Yeah
no
I
was
just
saying:
I
hope
felt
the
comments
questions
were
done,
but
I
hope
that
people
are
listening
and
will
come
out
to
this
meeting
tonight.
We've
had
three
meetings
and
this
meeting
will
be
a
meeting
that
will
let
the
citizens
know
that
here's
what
we
think
we
heard
from
you,
and
we
want
to
know
that
we
heard
you
accurately
and
that
when
this
committee
comes
together,
we
can
provide
them.
Q
AB
It
just
makes
sense
to
me
that
they
go
on
up
supporting
each
other
also
and
that
when
you're
working
from
that
standpoint,
that
I
think
that
there
should
be
collaborative
effort
so
that
everybody's
working
together
from
that
standpoint,
because
ultimately
I
I,
don't
think
you're
going
to
create
a
new
master
plan
or
a
new
plan
in
an
area.
That's
separate
from
what
everybody
else
is
doing:
I
think
that
it's
all
going
to
kind
of
support
and
work,
and
it's
just
gonna.
AB
AB
You
know
and
I,
don't
see
anything
in
the
presentation
about
the
housing
authority,
but
the
housing
authority
has
a
substantial
amount
of
land
down
there
and
you
know
and
I'm
not
so
sure
their
vision
aligns
with
the
vision
of
the
city.
I
just
don't
know,
I
have
to
ask
that
question.
Maybe
that's
a
question
I'm
posing
is
that
somewhere?
Where
do
they
enter
into
the
picture
and
play
into
this
because
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
know
what
their
plans
are,
but
it
could
ultimately
work
against.
AB
Whatever
plans
are
being
discussed
and
worked
on
here
so
again,
I
go
back
to
everybody,
collaborating
and
working
together,
but
I
don't
think.
We've
ever
talked
about
a
very
substantial,
a
very
key
piece
of
property
that
I
believe
the
housing
authority
owns
and
I'm,
not
so
sure
where
it
all
fits
and
plays
into
what
we're
talking
about
here.
Well,.
W
You
know
the
housing
authority
was
an
early
player
in
the
Liberty
district,
and
things
didn't
work
out
with
the
original
plan
and
so
the
old
BTW
Booker
T
Washington
public
housing
property.
As
you
know,
a
portion
of
that
has
become
Civic
Commons
and
it's
a
beautiful
sight.
I
was
down
for
the
grand
opening
and
then
the
property
alone
work
that
fronts
victory,
Drive,
Veterans,
Parkway
and
sixth
Avenue
that
backs
up
to
that
new
development.
W
The
intent
at
this
point
is
that
that
will
be
commercial
property
and
for
commercial
development,
and
so
we
we
we're
clear
on
that,
and
so
that's
what
I
knew
about
the
Housing
Authority
property.
Now
from
the
the
new
Civic
Commons
site,
going
north
I,
don't
believe
they
owned
any
other
property
in
the
Liberty
district
other
than
their
main
office
location.
W
W
Although
Lynn
Williams
serves
on
the
board
at
the
at
the
Liberty
theatre,
so
he
is
still
involved
from
that
standpoint
and
I
would
hope
that
he
would
be
one
that
someone
would
consider
to
be
on
this
committee
because
he
knows
how
to
get
it
done
and
could
be
an
adviser
or
critical
to
that
committee.
You.
AB
Know
and
I
agree
with
you:
I
do
think
that
they
need
to
be
a
player
at
the
table
and
I
do
think
that
whatever
the
ultimate
plan
is
that
it
all
needs
to
coordinate
together.
If
that's,
what
I
hear
the
city's
goals
and
trying
to
accomplish
here,
you
know
I,
like
I,
said
I
hate
for
a
little
pockets
just
to
be
isolated
here
and
there
and
you
don't.
AB
W
In
most
cases,
once
it's
developed
will
not
know
whether
they've
transitioned
from
Uptown
over
to
the
Liberty
district
or
vice-versa,
it
should
be
just
there
should
be
a
natural
flow.
So
we
have
not
left
uptown
out
I
want
you
to
know
that
and-
and
they
are
willing
and
able
to
assist
in
in
ways
that
that
we
will
need
them.
Q
You
my
mayor,
mr.
Suri,
mandra's
I,
just
have
a
couple
referrals
that
came
out
of
the
on
the
table
discussions,
one
of
them
I
had
with
several
volunteers,
with
animal
control
and
paws,
and
it's
regarding
the
animal
control
advisory
board.
They
wanted
to
see
if
you
would
call
a
meeting,
because
they
currently
only
have
it
where
they
have
two
per
year
and
they
want
to
discuss
general
function
of
the
board
drafting
by
walls,
so
they
could
potentially
have
more
meetings
and
they
also
want
to
help
in
the
process
of
drafting
a
spay
neuter
ordinance.
Q
They
said
that's
a
movie
budget
neutral
right
now.
They
think
would
actually
budget
positive,
because
we'd
have
less
animals
coming
back
and
they
said
pauls
could
hang
basically
sure
they
could
handle
taking
care
of
that
for
the
city,
so
it
would
be
at
no
cost
to
the
city.
They
did
say
they're
waiting
on
a
veterinary
association
board
seat,
so
I
think
we're
gonna
and
they've
been
waiting
for
quite
some
time.
So
I
think
we
have
to
do
the
same
thing
we
did
with
the
aquatics
board.
Q
You
know
basically
say
if
you're
on
a
point
at
we're:
gonna
have
to
make
an
appointment,
and
hopefully
they'll
take
care
of
it,
the
other
one.
If
we
could
get
something
rolling
as
far
as
examining
whether
or
not
we
could
support
a
uptown
entertainment
district,
there
were
quite
a
few
people
who
brought
that
up.
That
think
sees
doing
that
and
I
know.
Q
AB
City
manager,
I've
got
some
requests
to
the
liked
in
the
near
future
and
may
take
a
little
time
to
put
together,
but
I
think
there's
been
I've
heard.
A
lot
of
concerns
about
the
the
loss
fund,
mainly
I've,
heard
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
utilization
of
funding,
whether
it's
on
the
public
safety
side
or
the
infrastructure
side.
I
think
it
would
be
real,
important
and
just
very
not
only
from
a
transparency
side
but
but
just
being
open
with
the
community.
AB
If
we
are
able,
if
the
city
is
able
to
put
a
complete
presentation,
a
detailed
presentation
of
how
that
money's
being
utilized
and
spent
whether
from
the
goals
and
purposes
or
where
it's
being
utilized
today
and
utilization
of
all
the
revenue
when,
if
as
it
relates
to
the
to
the
lost
fund,
if
you
want
more
understanding
of
what
on
what
amount,
I
think
it's
pretty
pretty
straightforward
and
what
I'm?
What
I'm
asking
but
I
think
that
that
would
be
very
productive.
If
we
had
that
type
of
detailed
presentation,
but
also
when
it
comes
to
revenue.
AB
I'd
also
like
to
see
an
understanding
of
any
new
revenues
coming
in
specifically
relating
to
the
community
wide
reassessment
I'd
like
to
see
what
kind
of
money
we're
talking
about.
I
don't
know
if
you're
still
able
to
equate
that.
Yet,
if
you're
at
that
point
yet
and
know
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
you.
AB
And
also
you
mentioned
today
that
I
think
the
finance
director
mentioned
today
about
the
ending
of
the
year
at
sixty-four
days
and
and
I'd
like
to
have
an
understanding
of
where
the
additional
revenue
or
the
additional
funds
that
created
those
days
and
savings.
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
see
that
and
then
the
last
one.
AB
Specifically
speaking,
the
salary
saving
aspect
of
the
unfilled
positions
just
like
to
have
an
understanding
of
of
how
that
that
revenue
is
being
utilized
or
if
it's
not
being
utilized
with
an
understanding
of.
What's
the
what's
the
thought
process
behind
that
from
a
standpoint
of
of
the
overall
budget
of
the
CCPD.
W
W
23Rd
it's
Thanksgiving
Day.
Next
week,
November
23rd
is
Thanksgiving
Day
all
garbage
collection
services
will
be
provided
on
normal
schedule,
except
on
Thanksgiving
Day.
If
you
are
accustomed
to
your
garbage
being
collected
on
Thursday
no
on
Thursday,
which
is
Thanksgiving
Day,
we
will
collect
your
garbage
on
Wednesday
the
day
before
Thanksgiving.
W
Otherwise
there
are
no
changes
in
your
service.
If
you
get
it
Monday,
Tuesday
or
Friday,
there
is
no
change.
Do
what
you've
always
done?
No
change,
Monday,
Tuesday
or
Friday
on
Thanksgiving
Day.
You
will
receive
service
the
day
before
Wednesday
Wednesday
the
day
before
Thanksgiving.
If
you
are
accustomed
to
service
on
Thursday
I
hope,
that's
pretty
clear.
V
D
W
W
There
was
much
confusion.
Last
Thanksgiving,
if
you
holiday,
if
you
recall,
and
and
and
basically
left
it
in
her
hands
and
said
there
will
be
no
confusion,
and
so
you
can
decide
to
collect
