This
is
your
city
council.
B
Council
meeting
today
is
largely
a
work
session
where
we
will
be
able
to
make
sure
the
council
and
the
mayor
briefed
on
initiatives
that
are
under
underway
throughout
the
community.
But
we
do
in
fact
have
a
business
meeting
made
up
of
a
consent
agenda,
primarily
items
that
didn't
have
a
lot
of
a
whole
lot
of
discussion
going
on,
so
it'd
be
more
of
a
consensus,
but
we
are
going
to
begin
as
we
always
do,
and
that
is
by
asking
God's
presence
and
blessings
on
these
proceedings,
and
it's
pastor.
C
C
B
B

B
B

E
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
back
in
2016.
In
fact,
October
25th
2016.
This
Council
adopted
a
resolution
resolution
360-16
to
remove
all
parking
fees
at
the
River
Center
Garage
in
in
uptown,
and
the
the
one
thing
that
was
not
allowed
for
in
that
resolution
is
for
special
events
and
of
course
we
do
know
that
special
events
do
come
to
our
city.
E
That
will
have
a
significant
impact
and
overwhelming
impact
on
uptown,
and
so
we
want
to
include
in
that
resolution
this
day
and
going
forward
when
there
are
special
events
that
we
can
charge
for
parking
and
I
know.
The
Trade
Center
has
the
ability
to
do
that
when
there
are
special
events
and
surface
parking
at
CSU,
they
have
the
ability
to
do
that.
E
We
in
property,
in
our
property,
that's
on
either
side
they
Trade
Center
parking,
garage
or
Surface
parking
around
the
CSU
area
can
charge
when
there
are
special
events,
but
our
ordinance
says
it's
free
and
we
don't
have
that
discretion
and
so
we'd
like
to
change
that
resolution
that
allows
for
that
discretion.
When
there
are
events
coming
to
town.
E
There
are
special
events
we
certainly
wouldn't
want
to
do
it
if
others
are
not
doing
it,
it
would
be
collaborative
effort
where
we
have
all
discussed
it,
and
we
agree
that
we
should
charge
for
parking
for
certain
special
events,
and
so
this
resolution
would
allow
us
to
do
what
we
know.
Others
have
the
ability
to
do
without
having
to
come
before
this
body,
and
so
the
Trade
Center
has
that
ability
CSU
has
that
ability
we
don't,
and
so
we
want
to
agree
going
forward
when
there
are
special
events
that
we
would
all
do
it.
B
F
Understood
on
the
goals
and
the
intent
just
understood,
I
want
to
understand
the
process
for
understanding
the
amount
and
which
events
because
I
know
you
said,
like
informally,
it's
discussing
with
the
Trade
Center
that
similar
event,
but
is
there
a-
and
this
may
be
just
a
question
because
I'm
new
but
like
how
would
city
council
know
these?
Are
the
events
we're
going
to
do
it?
And
this
is
the
rate
we're
going
to
do
it
at
well?.
E
Certainly,
we
would
inform
you
that
they're
and
I
think
when
there
is
an
event
that
would
would
call
for
parking.
We
want
you
to
know,
because
we
want
the
public
to
know
in
advance
and
we
would
certainly
make
you
aware
that
there's
an
event
that
we
intend
to
charge
for
and
if
you
have
issues
with
it,
you
you.
Obviously
you
would.
Let
us
know.
G
E
F
H
E
B
B
I
I
That
way
we
don't
I
mean
it
just
leaves
the
door
open
for
future.
If
we
ever
needed
to
go
that
route,
but
you
know
we
can
do
the
Synovus
building
and
then
the
other
building
on
Front,
Name
Escapes
me
right
now
and
then
the
River
Center
as
well
I,
don't
I
mean
I,
don't
think
that
there's
an
issue
with
charging
parking
fees
for
this
event
at
all,
it's
just
just
as
long
as
Council
can
approve
that
we're
going
forward.
C
I
just
wanted
to
offer
for
council's
consideration.
I've
attended
several
events
like
this
and
it's
it's
typical
that
a
city
will
try
to
control
the
crowd
and
the
parking
of
those
visitors
that
are
coming
into
the
city,
and
so
that's
one
reason
that
you
charge.
If
you
let
it
continue
to
be
free,
then
you're
going
to
have
some
that'll
come
in
there
and
try
to
disrupt
the
event
itself,
and
so
that's
one
reason
that
it's
that
it's.
That
is
typical
for
this
to
happen.
C
B
F
J
No
I
was
just
trying
to
still
understand
the
aspect
of
the
control
of
Public
Safety
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
it's
just
isolating
to
a
parking
garage
is
going
to
be
able
to
do
that.
But
I
would
ask
a
question:
has
it
been
considered
in
charging
I
know
we
have
limited
parking
in
the
area?
Will
that
tend
to
push
a
lot
of
people
who
have
a
problem
with
that
is
going
to
push
them
over
into
Uptown
into
we've?
J
Had
problems
in
the
historic
district
or
they
tend
to
want
to
go
park
on
the
right-of-ways?
Does
anybody
given
that
any
thought
as
to
if
this
is
such
a
large
event?
If
the
charging
in
the
parking
garage
somewhat
discourages
people
will
they
tend
to
park
in
other
places,
which
would
cause
a
further
issue
to
manage?
E
E
J
I'm
I
understand
the
conversation
I
still,
you
know
if
somebody
wants
to,
let's
just
say
we're
talking
about
protesters
and
things
like
that.
If
they
want
to
pay
ten
dollars
to
park
in
the
garages,
I
guess
they're
allowed
to
do
that
or
or
are
they
going
to
be
kind
of
sorted
out
as
people
go
in
and
out
of
these
facilities.
B
Well,
I
think
this
was
this
was
in
response
to
the
public
safety.
This
was
the
director
of
the
Trade
Center
mentioned
that
this
was
one
way
of,
and
it's
not
certainly
I
agree
with
you
that's
the
first
thing.
I
thought
is
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
stop
people
from
parking
if
they
have
to
pay
ten
dollars,
but
apparently
it's
part
of
a
plan
that
is
utilized
in
other
areas
as
well.
Just
to
try
to
you
know,
keep
people
from
having
complete
free
and
Total
Access
to
the
to
the
garage
inside
I.
B
H
Yeah
I
mean
I,
for
if
we're
talking
about
Public
Safety,
then
like
what
I
just
said,
somebody
needs
to
be
at
the
gates.
Screening
people
coming
in
at
least
looking
at
IDs,
and
things
like
that,
so
that
you
know,
if
we're
that
I
mean
collecting
money,
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
it.
In
my
opinion,
because
they'll
just
pay
they'll
just
pay
the
fee
and
go
in
and
and
create
their
Havoc.
We
need
to
screen
who's
in
the
area.
H
G
B
G
G
G
B
Okay,
there's
a
there's
a
motion
in
a
second
to
amend
all
right.
All
any
discussion
on
the
amendment
hearing,
none
all
in
favor
of
proving
the
amendment
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
Then
it
is
amended.
There's
a
motion
in
the
second
to
approve
the
resolution
as
amended
any
further
discussion
regarding
that
all
right,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
in
his
past.
G
B
J
E
E
D
E
Excuse
me,
mayor
I've
got
a
number
of
updates
or
topics
for
discussion
and
the
first
one
as
Westfield
update.
You
know:
Westfield
relocated
from
Lumpkin
to
Columbus,
to
South
Lumpkin
Road
and
we've
got
George
Singer
here
and
I'm
going
to
ask
him
to
come
to
Podium
and
just
share
with
us.
What's
going
on
with
Westfield.
L
M
L
We've
met
with
executive
director
of
Oxbow
Meadows
and
trying
to
form
a
partnership
with
them
as
well
for
more
visitation
at
lunken
or
excuse
me.
In
Columbus
recently,
we
went
to
lumpkin's
site
to
assess
the
buildings
there,
as
well
as
look
at
some
of
the
artifacts
in
the
warehouse
in
London,
and
we
also
attended
the
Heritage
Park
groundbreaking.
L
So
you
know,
some
of
the
options
at
Westfield
has
are
the
assets
that
Westville
has
contain
not
only
the
property
in
Lumpkin,
but
also
nine
structures
after
historic
Columbus
moves.
The
three
structures
for
the
Heritage
Park
project
and
Westfield
again
asked
the
city
for
their
permission
for
a
six-month
extension
on
their
current
leaves.
L
L
G
L
B
You,
okay
Mr
singer.
Thank
you
appreciate
what
y'all
are
doing
too,
to
try
to
keep
Westville
moving.
I
mean
it
just
was
an
incredible
stroke
of
bad
luck
with
the
pandemic
and
the
move
and
how
expensive
the
move
was,
and
frankly,
I
think
the
city
and
you've
heard
the
counselors
I
think
they'll,
do
whatever
within
reason
needs
to
be
done
to
try
to
give
you
the
opportunity
to
to
get
it
back
on
solid
footing
again.
G
L
Thank
you,
you
know
grew
up
in
Lumpkin,
Georgia,
I,
guess
the
third
generation
of
being
a
part
of
Westfield.
After
seeing
my
grandmother
and
my
grandfather
and
then
my
father
as
well
serve
on
the
board,
so
it
means
a
whole
lot
to
a
lot
of
people,
not
just
those
in
Lumpkin
but
in
in
this
community
as
well
and
certainly
would
hate
to
see
it.
It
not
succeed
so
looking
forward
to
working
hard
and
sustaining
Financial
stability
for
Westfield
to
provide
more
experiences
for
those.
G
E
You
thank
you
George.
Thank
you.
Mr
singer,
appreciate
you
and,
and
mayor
I'm
not
going
to
go
necessarily
in
the
order
that
these
are
listed,
but
we're
going
to
have
the
election
update
from
elections
and
voter
registration,
director,
Nancy,
bullr
and
and
then
next
I
am
going
to
call
on
Holly
Browder
following
her.
E
Our
Parks
and
Rec
director,
along
with
a
number
of
non-profit
organizations,
were
represented
here
today
in
an
announcement
of
a
collaborative
Community,
Connection
partnership
program,
C3
program,
so
following
Nancy,
Bohr
and
I'll
have
Holly
brighter
and
those
representatives
from
the
various
nonprofits
to
come
forward.
Ms
boring
good
morning.
N
Good
morning,
mayor
council,
Mr
city
manager,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
briefly
about
elections.
Who
are
we?
We
have
seven
full-time
employees.
We
have
three
permanent
part-time
employees
over
50,
temporary
and
over
400
poll
workers
that
are
all
trained
and
ready
for
the
election.
We
have
veterans,
we
have
young
people,
we
have
Board
of
election
members,
we
have
five
of
those
and
they
are
all
represented
in
some
form
on
these
pictures.
Here,
where
have
we
been
in
22
the
year
2022
we
did
reapportionment
redistricting
Charter,
review
amendments.
N
We
had
four
elections,
two
risk
limiting
audits,
a
pull
pad
pilot
and
supply
chain
shortages.
One
thing
you
don't
think
about
is
when
a
whole
state
is
using
paper
to
vote.
You
have
to
get
that
paper
somewhere
and
our
paper
supplier
had
a
hard
time
doing
that
in
redistricting
we
did
the
first
round
of
redistricting
in
March
of
22,
where
we
did
the
federal
state
and
School
Board
lines,
and
then
we
had
to
do
the
council
district
lines
in
August
because
of
the
requirements
of
the
charter.
N
I
will
we
are
actually
using
them
for
the
election
that
we're
doing
downstairs
today,
but
we
did
a
pilot
in
22
where
the
voter,
the
voter,
used
to
have
to
fill
out
a
absentee
ballot
application
when
they
would
come
early
vote
and
fill
out
name
address
date
of
birth.
Sign
it
not
once
but
twice
so.
This
pull
pad
pilot
allows
the
voter
to
come
in
with
their
driver's
license.
They
they
put
it
in
the
pull
pad.
N
O
N
N
What
are
we
doing
this
year
in
23?
We
are
doing
inventory
of
our
equipment.
We
have
two
warehouses,
one
here
at
the
city,
services
Center
and
one
at
the
health
department
on
Veterans
Parkway.
We
are
implementing
a
new
Statewide
voter
registration
system.
The
voters
won't
see
a
lot.
You
won't
see
a
lot,
but
for
elections,
officials,
it's
a
pretty
huge
change.
We
are
doing
voter
list
maintenance
evaluating
our
current
polling
locations
to
see
if
we
need
to
change
any
of
them
or
add
any
of
them.
Of
course
we're.
N
N
It
is
June
the
3rd
and
June
the
10th,
and
that's
nine
to
five
both
days
of
course,
the
last
week
of
early
voting.
We
are
extending
that
hour
a
little
bit
and
going
8
30
to
6
p.m.
For
those
voters
who
would
like
to
vote
that
Monday
through
Friday
again,
the
ballot
collection
Dropbox
will
be
here
at
the
city
services
Center
and
will
be
open
only
during
the
hours
of
early
voting.
There
are
two
candidates
for
this
election
I'm
not
going
to
mention
the
name.
N
Since
we
are
a
polling
site,
absentee
ballots
will
start
be
mail.
Today
there
are
six
precincts
in
this
special
election.
Some
of
the
precincts
are
wholly
contained
in
School
Board
District
Seven.
Some
are
only
partially,
but
those
six
precincts
are
gallup's
Epworth,
Winton,
Our,
Lady
of
Lourdes
and
first
African.
N
All
precincts
on
Election
Day
will
be
open
from
7
A.M
to
7
p.m,
and
only
those
voters
who
are
registered
in
school
board
district
7
will
be
eligible
to
vote.
If
you
remember
before
reapportionment
and
redistricting,
the
council
and
School
Board
lines
mirrored
each
other
after
redistricting
in
2022
they
no
longer
mirror.
So
if
you
are
not
sure,
if
you
are
in
School
Board
District
Seven,
you
can
go
to
Georgia
my
voter
page,
two
kind
of
unique
things
in
this
boating
cycle.
Yesterday
was
Memorial
day.
N
Monday
June
the
19th
is
Juneteenth,
so
we
will
be
closed
the
day
before
the
election
and
we
were
closed
yesterday
for
early
voting.
What
does
that
mean
for
a
voter?
That
means,
if
you
want
to
deliver
your
ballot,
your
absentee
ballot
on
the
Monday
before
the
election.
You
will
be
unable
to
do
that.
There's
also
not
any
mail
service
through
the
USPS.
So
remember
that
and
then,
where
are
we
going
in
2024?
Of
course
we
are
looking
for
the
presidential
election
cycle.
We
can
just
discuss
some
of
that
here.
N
The
presidential
preference
primary
is
scheduled
for
March
the
12th
that
is
different
from
the
general
primary
that
is
in
May
of
24
in
the
nonpartisan
election
qualifying
for
state
and
local
offices
will
be
in
March
of
2024.
The
date
of
the
general
primary
and
the
nonpartisan
election
is
May
the
21st
of
24..
We
are
looking
to
purchase
those
pull
pad
printers
for
the
24
election
cycle.
We've
borrowed
six
for
this
early
voting
for
the
school
board
district
7
election,
and
we
will
continue
with
the
implementation
of
enhanced
voting
systems.
N
Just
by
the
numbers,
how
many
precincts
do
we
have
I
did
a
comparison
of
20,
20,
22
and
24..
Those
Precinct
numbers
have
remained
consistent.
We
had
the
early
voting
locations
in
2020.
We
had
five
of
those
22.
We
had
three
and
in
24
we
anticipate
having
24.
we've
I'm.
Sorry,
three.
We
have
beefed
up
the
number
of
machines
that
we
use
in
the
locations
and
so
we're
trying
to
maximize
the
three
sites
that
we
we
have
currently.
Rather
than
adding
additional
sites
I'm
in
2020
we
had
five
drop
boxes.
N
N
Advanced
voters.
Advance
voting
has
become
extremely
popular,
I.
Think,
because
of
the
availability
and
the
time
that
it's
three
weeks,
we
voted
almost
43
000
people
in
2020
in
the
general
election,
34
000
people
and
22,
and
we
anticipate
voting
that
40
000
number
424
active
voters.
We
always
beef
up
in
an
elect
a
presidential
election
year,
so
we
had
almost
131
000
in
2020
that
dropped
to
20
in
22
to
121
000
and
again.
That
number
will
go
up
just
a
little
bit
for
24..
N
What
do
we
think
our
turnout
will
be?
We
had
a
great
turnout
in
2020
in
the
general
election,
almost
81
000
voters.
We
had
about
60
000
again
returning
to
that
Norm
that
we
see
in
a
midterm
election,
and
so
we
look
at
60
to
70
percent
of
2024
for
the
presidential
election
and
do
you
have
any
questions.
N
N
P
We
all
know
here
in
our
community
we're
looking
for
more
programs,
more
activities
for
kids
in
the
summer,
more
things
for
kids
to
do
adults,
young
adults,
basically
everyone
in
the
summertime
when
they're
out
and
about
to
have
more
activities
for
us.
That's
going
to
be
a
new
program
called
C3
and
as
you
you
can
see
on
our
announcement
this
morning
that
stands
for
collaborative
Community,
Connection
I'm.
Sure
many
of
my
colleagues
behind
me
can
share
and
elaborate
more
greatly
than
I
can
this
morning
on
that.
P
But
we
felt
like
this
was
a
good
opportunity
for
us
to
come
together
and
offer
programs
collectively,
no
more
of
doing
it
on
our
own
thinking
that
we
individually
can
do
everything
but
trying
to
share
our
resources,
trying
to
do
things
in
a
way
that
we
can
be
stronger.
We
can
do
more
and
we
can
bring
even
more
Partners
than
those
that
are
behind
me
this
morning.
Part
of
that's
going
to
be
bringing
in
programs
from
all
of
these
amazing
organizations.
P
Everyone
is
going
to
be
kind
of
coming
to
the
table
with
their
own
flavor
and
their
own
opportunity
of
what
they
can
offer
for
our
youth,
whether
they
be
school-age,
youth
or
high
school
age
or
college
age.
Individuals
are
really
looking
to
put
together
a
lot
of
different
activities,
whether
it
be
e-game
programs,
mobile
bike
activities,
Arts
music.
P
We
have
a
lot
of
different
ideas
and
a
lot
of
different
things
that
are
going
to
come
to
the
table,
but
just
could
not
be
more
excited
to
come
this
morning
and
talk
about
this
program
and
share
the
huge
partnership
and
all
of
these
entities
willingness
to
come
to
the
table
to
see
us
create
more
for
our
community.
What
is
this
going
to
mean
for
Frank
Chester?
It's
going
to
mean
for
a
lot
longer
hours.
P
Typically
we're
open
a
little
over
40
something
hours
a
week
right
now,
as
we
move
to
Summer,
our
new
hours
are
going
to
go
from
9
A.M
to
12
midnight,
so
that's
going
to
be
15
hours
a
day,
Monday
through
Saturday
and
on
Sundays
two
to
six.
That's
what
our
schedule
right
now
is
tended
to
be
looking
like
that
will
provide
us
opportunities
to
offer
kids
when
parents
are
at
work
or
kids
need
somewhere
to
go
during
the
day
a
longer
period
of
time.
P
It
will
also
offer
us
the
ability
to
have
our
seniors
or
active
adults
who
want
to
come
in
earlier
on
the
rec
side.
Maybe
they
want
to
go
to
the
gym.
They
want
to
work
out,
they'll
have
the
ability
to
do
that
and
it'll
also
afford
US
the
opportunity
to
stay
open
later
at
night,
so
folks
have
a
place
to
go
when
they
get
off
work
or
after
hours
to
go
somewhere
to
a
safe
environment
and
play
ball
or
play
some
activity,
or
do
something
positive.
P
Q
S
Good
morning,
I'm
Trisha
Llewellyn,
Conan
VP
of
mission
services
for
Goodwill
Industries
of
the
Southern
Rivers,
we're
excited
to
be
a
part
of
the
C3
collaboration
this
year,
we'll
be
bringing
the
table
exposure
to
arts
in
our
community,
but
also
an
opportunity
for
career
exploration
and
job
connection
to
the
in
the
local
community.
Thank
you.
T
T
U
I'm
Kristen
Barker
I'm,
the
director
of
better
work
Columbus,
and
this
all
stemmed
from
conversations
around
crime
prevention,
crime
reduction.
How
do
we
join
hands?
How
do
we
come
together
to
give
kids
or
give
youth
an
alternative
so
that
they're
not
on
the
street
and
they
have
other
things
to
do,
and
what
we
want
to
bring
to
the
table
is
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
serve
the
entire
family
through
this.
So
our
vision
is,
we
start
with
Frank
Chester.
U
But
what
can
we
do
beyond
that
and
to
be
able
to
have
a
take
a
holistic
approach
and
serve
the
family?
So
we
want
to.
We
want
to
give
the
parents
opportunities
to
connect
to
work
we
want
to,
as
Trisha
so
aptly
said,
help
help
youth
to
understand
career
like
how
do
we
take
these
Pro,
this
programming
that
we're
going
to
be
working
on
and
build
in
I?
Guess
the
ability
to
Envision
so
kids
understand
you
know
if
we're
talking
about
music,
what
can
they
really
do
with
that?
If
that's
their
their
hobby
now?
U
Can
that
be
a
passion
and
a
job
for
them
one
day?
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
and
I'm
excited
about
all
the
programming
areas
that
we're
working
on
I
know
they're,
they're,
bringing
that
to
talk
talk
about
so
that's
all
I
will
say,
but
I'm
really
excited
about
all
of
these
wonderful
people
coming
together
to
bring
like
they
said
our
resources.
How
do
we
pool
our
resources
and
really
make
a
difference.
V
Good
morning,
I'm
Dr
Gail,
Burgos
I'm,
the
CEO
of
Girls,
Inc
and
I'm
excited
to
be
collaborating
with
my
fellow
sisters
and
brothers
that
provide
a
youth
ministry
to
our
students
in
the
31903,
and
we
will
be
bringing
dance
which
is
a
very
attractive
commodity
for
young
young
girls
between
the
ages
of
6
and
18.
excited
to
be
on
this
initiative.
Thank
you.
W
Again,
we're
just
excited
to
join
forces
with
all
these
great
organizations
and
the
Urban
League
is
going
to
be
bringing
the
angle
of
Music.
We
know
that
our
youth
in
our
communities,
love
music
and
they
love
making
raps
making
beats
and
everything
else.
So
we're
going
to
be
introducing
technology.
I've
got
a
music
engineer,
that's
going
to
be
coming
on
board
and
we're
going
to
be
they're,
going
to
be
engineering,
music
and
and
and
introducing
that
and
into
the
scope
of
this
project.
W
X
How's
it
going.
My
name
is
Jack
rosenheimer
I'm,
one
of
the
three
founders
of
Columbus
Street
hockey,
along
with
Jeremy
Delaney
and
David
hartle,
our
fourth
member
Chris
Poirier
who's,
a
founder
of
Columbus
Got,
Game,
another
non-profit,
bringing
opportunities
that
kids
cannot
be
here
at
this
time,
so
we'll
be
bringing
street
hockey
to
C3
I,
know,
you've
all
been
receiving.
My
emails,
don't
know
if
you
read
them,
but
you
guys
want
to
email
and
you're
inbox
from
me
about
our
updates.
X
We've
been
doing
with
Columbus
Street
hockey,
we've
had
four
events
so
far,
ironically,
we'll
be
at
Frank
Chester
Rec
Center,
this
Saturday
from
10
to
11,
looking
forward
to
seeing
all
of
you
there
and
we're
just
bringing
something
new
to
the
to
kids.
That,
like
I,
said
the
last
time
I
was
here.
You
know,
Columbus
can
be
a
hockey
town.
A
lot
of
kids
who
play
hockey
or
a
lot
of
kids
that
we
were
trying
to
Target
won't
find
themselves
as
a
Columbus
ice
rink.
X
So
we're
going
to
bring
the
sport
to
them
in
a
different
form.
Much
more!
You
know
you
know,
cost
not
not
as
cost
prohibitive
and
it's
a
fun
time.
We
were
just
at
flewellyn
Rec
Center
on
Saturday
we
had
probably
eight
or
nine
kids
drive
their
bikes
up
and
just
hop
in,
which
is
exactly
what
we
were
trying
to
do.
You
know
have
kids,
just
in
the
community,
be
able
to
participate
so
appreciate
your
time
and
all
your
support.
Y
Z
Good
morning,
Reggie
Lewis
care
violence
advisor,
as
you
already
heard,
from
everybody,
that
is
to
show
that
we
need
to
fill
in
the
gaps
of
the
issues
that
we
see
in
our
community.
Too
often,
we
try
to
do
our
mission
solo
and
by
doing
it,
solo
we're
not
able
to
fulfill
that
mission,
so,
working
together,
we're
very
stronger.
We
can
add
resources
to
parks
and
recs,
we're
bringing
in
churches
and
everybody
else
to
this
Mission.
The
mission
is
to
address
the
social
determinants
of
Health
in
our
community.
Z
We
know
that
on
31903
there's
a
lot
of
issues
and
Pats
in
that
Community
lack
of
jobs,
lack
of
activities
of
lack
of
Economic
Development.
The
hope
is
by
working
together.
We
can
address
some
of
those
issues
and
have
a
vibrant
31903
and
then
spread
it
to
the
South
throughout
Columbus.
So
we
thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity.
E
P
I,
just
was
going
to
say:
I,
don't
think
we
could
build
a
better
team.
You
guys
I
mean
this
is
amazing:
to
have
this
many
entities
that
want
to
come
forward
for
the
same
sole
purpose
and
so
I
hope
you
guys
can
be
as
excited
as
we
are
about
this.
We
know
that
this
is
a
pilot.
We
know
that
this
is
a
short
term
for
us,
but
we
really
look
for
this
to
go
on
big
first.
P
P
P
E
Get
the
word
out,
we
will
and
may
I
must
say
that
in
all
of
my
years
as
city
manager,
Deputy,
city
manager,
I've
not
seen
a
an
effort
such
as
as
this
it's
powerful
and
I
want
to
thank
each
of
you
I.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
whose
brainchild
this
was,
but
it's
it's
awesome
and
I
certainly
think
it's
going
to
have
an
impact
on
the
community,
and
the
hope
is
that,
as
this
is
a
palette,
it
will
grow
throughout
Columbus.
E
B
This
has
been
brewing
in
bubbling
for
a
while
and
to
see
it
come
to
fruition,
Holly
good
job
and
to
all
of
these
folks
that
have
been
so
anxious
and
looking
for
ways
to
try
to
plug
the
gaps.
It's.
It
is
an
outstanding
initiative
and
I
too
share
of
the
optimism
that
I
can
see
this
in
every
Rec
Center
throughout
our
community
and
start
really
making
an
impact
in
every
single
neighborhood.
So
thank
all
of
you
for
your
commitment,
councilor
Davis.
J
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'm,
excited
about
this
I,
really
appreciate
all
you
coming
and
just
seeing
the
collaborative
effort,
because
you
know
we
don't
really
talk
enough
about
Solutions.
What
we
see
sometimes
is
what
we
see
on
the
TV.
You
know
we
see
all
this
partisan,
whether
it's
rhetoric
or
talking
points
or
whatever,
spreading
this
message
out
there,
but
it
does
nothing
to
solve
what
you
folks
are
doing
and
providing
a
solution
to
actively
getting
involved
with
the
children
in
our
community.
This
is
no
mystery,
been
doing
it
for
a
long
time.
J
We've
lost
that
we
lost
that
one
that
so-called
self-help
generation
came
through,
where
it's
an
iimi
mentality.
Just
let
me
look
out
for
myself,
but
we
got
to
go
back
to
basics
and
taking
care
of
our
youth
in
the
Next
Generation.
If
not
they're,
gonna
they're
gonna
attach
themselves
to
something
they're
going
in
some
Direction,
but
if
it's
not
positive
and
we're
not
giving
them
that
opportunity
in
that
message,
they're
not
going
to
connect
and
then
we
sit
back
and
we
ask
the
question:
what's
happening
out
there.
J
Well,
you
know
we're
the
adults
in
the
room,
but
these
kids
are
going
to
go
in
a
direction
and
and
I
would
like
to
encourage
you
I'm
sitting
here
watching
you
I
mean
this
is
exciting,
because
this
is
what
we've
got
to
do
in
providing
these
activities
opportunities
for
the
kids
and
along
with
that
they'll
get
mentored
some
way,
hopefully
as
positive
and
the
right
people
are
sending
the
right
message,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
working
in
our
community.
Now
to
do
that,
and
it's
not
going
to
happen
overnight.
J
J
He
wanted
to
build
a
youth
center
and
he
started
looking
at
what
needs
to
be
done
and
if
you've
just
listened
to
some
of
his.
What
he's
found
and
what
he's
now
starring
the
message
he's
starting
to
send
out
there.
It's
real,
it's
real,
simple
about
what
we
need
to
do
and
getting
back
to
the
basics
and
provide
these
opportunities.
What
we've
heard
today
provide
these
opportunities
for
our
children
in
the
community
and
then
they
can
take
it
from
there,
but
I
can't.
Thank
you
enough,
because
that's
what
it's
going
to
take.
J
We
have
to
start
thinking
about
these
things,
but
it
all
starts.
It
starts
with
our
kids.
It
starts
with
our
families,
it
starts
with
parenting,
it
starts
in
the
schools,
it's
not
rocket
science,
but
it's
just
a
matter
of
us
taking
taking
it
and
coming
up
with
the
solutions
and
working
together,
we
get
tired,
we
all
get
tired
and
we
tend
to
to
move
you
know,
but
if
we
really
want
to
make
a
difference,
we
can
do
one
or
two
things
we
can
talk
about
it.
J
You
know
we
can
just
keep
talking
about
it,
I
mean,
or
we
can
show
me
and
provide
Solutions
and
actually
take
it
there
and
make
it
happen.
We
need
to
see
more
of
the
show
me
you
know
and
make
taking
it
there
and
making
it
happen,
and
that's
what
it's
going
to
take
in
our
community,
along
with
other
initiatives
too
as
well.
J
But
it
is
it's
all
about
community
and
Community
coming
together
and
understanding
what
you
folks
have
presented
here
and
that's
why
I
said
earlier
when
I
started,
I'm
excited
and
it's
good
to
see
you
here,
I
can't.
Thank
you
enough
for
what
you're
doing
and
invest
in
your
lives.
It's
not
easy!
You
have
challenges.
J
We
all
have
challenges
that
we
have
to
take
care
of,
but
taking
a
little
time
to
lend
a
helping
hand
to
someone
else,
mainly
our
younger
generation,
because
they're
asking
a
lot
of
questions
they're,
just
so
much
out
there
that
they
can
get
involved
with
and
most
of
it's
all
bad
negative
and
and
it's
going
to
hurt
them.
They
just
need
to
hear
it
from
us
and
we
need
to
be
more
active.
So
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
I
just
thought.
J
O
O
O
The
people
at
the
parks
and
rec
centers
became
the
parent
s
to
these
to
all
of
us,
I'm
gonna
say
those
kids,
all
of
us
all,
the
kids
that
were
involved
and
now,
when
a
question
comes
up,
you
get
the
opportunity
to
answer
it
early
in
the
game
to
help
them
understand.
What's
going
on
and
to
kind
of
guide
them
away
from
some
of
the
wrong
choices.
Bad
choices
out
there,
but
I'm
excited
I'm
excited
received
information.
Sometimes
in
emails
from
all
of
you
all
I
got
a
recent
one.
O
You
know
it
wasn't
a
ticketed
event.
It
wasn't.
If
you
don't
live
here
event.
It
wasn't
if
you're,
not
a
member
of
the
wreck.
Event,
if
you
were
a
child
you're
welcome,
just
come
on,
come
come
on
or
Come
Aboard,
but
anyway
I'm
rambling
a
little
bit
but
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
The
city
manager
knows
we
thought
we've
been
talking.
He
probably
may
not
remember,
but
I
came
on
board
in
January
of
2011.
O
and
we
met
in
February
of
2011
and
he
took
time
out
of
his
schedule
and
got
staffed
together
to
get
a
van
and
ride
with
me
through
my
district
yeah
yeah.
So
a
lot
of
these
things
have
been
on
my
mind
a
long
time.
Some
things
were
okay.
Then
it
changed
on
me
along
the
way
so
I.
Thank
you
all
for
having
an
interest.
Anything
I
can
do.
You
know
I've
always
I've
always
pointed
to
Parks
and
Rec
director
always,
and
then
that
goes
up
to
Deputy
city
manager,
city
manager
and
to
the
mayor.
O
I
I
will
always
be
a
champion
for
Parks
and
Recreation,
as
you
know,
one
of
the
foundations
of
our
city.
So
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
what
you're
doing
I
know.
I
was
in
a
couple
of
your
meetings.
So
could
you
send
Council
like
a
itinerary
of
activities
that
we
might
be
able
to
drop
into,
or
maybe
you
already
did
and
I
just
missed
it
on
the
weekend?
Actually.

Your
staff
will
be
matching
with
the
local
employees
for
the
program.
The
some
of
you
program
will
run
through
June
12th.
It
will
end
you
July
the
28th.
The
participants
will
earn
14
an
hour
and
we
also
have
counselors
that
will
be
earning
16
an
hour.
The
target
youth
ages
are
between
the
ages
of
16
to
24,
and
the
aim
is
82
participants
right
now.
Today
we
have
a
total
of
about.
The
goal
is
82
right
now
we
have
about
60
and
I.
AB
Do
apologize
I'm
a
little
nervous
this
morning,
but
right
now
we
have
about
39
participants
that
have
clear
HR
and
so
the
other
ones
will
be
clearing
soon
and
so
after
the
onboarding
process
we'll
get
started,
placing
them
and
working
with
the
Urban
League
to
do
their
part
as
well.
So
we
are
really
excited
for
this
opportunity.
AB
B
At
least
you
you
group
is
doing
a
great
job.
I
mean
this.
You
know
this
started
during
covid.
We
brought
this
back
and
we've
managed
through
y'all's
great
effort.
We
managed
to
have
about
30
kids
even
through
covet,
and
we
only
had
one
incident
I
think
where
somebody
had
to
had
to
be
quarantined,
but
but
to
get
us
to
a
point
where
we,
it
looks
like
we'll
hit
the
82
and
to
be
able
to
serve
that
many
young
people
who-
and
these
are.
B
AB
They're
going
to
be
working
from
everywhere
from
the
city
manager's
office,
the
mayor's
office
and
other
HR
and
other
departments
within
the
city
and
I
can
just
give
a
person
a
testimony.
I
am
a
participant
of
the
summer
youth
program
from
100
years
ago,
and
it
has
given
me
my
start
to
where
I
am
today
and
I
just
didn't
know
coming
back
years
later,
that
I'll
be
actually
working
for
the
city
of
Columbus,
but
it
all
started
when
I
was
14
years.
AB
Old
I
had
just
moved
here
from
Jacksonville,
Florida
and
and
I
needed,
and
my
mom
needed
help
too
so
because
she
was
a
single
mom
and
we
was
able
to
get
on
to
some
of
youth
program.
So
it's
very
personal
to
me.
I
know
it
can
change
lives
and
thank
you,
mayor
and
city
manager,
for
putting
this
together
and
having
given
us
the
opportunity
to
help
assist
in
this
manner.
E
E
J
Mississippi
manager
I
want
to
just
kind
of
play
off
some
of
the
things
you
just
said
and
I've
talked
about
it
before
many
times
before
and
not
necessarily
what's
going
on
here,
but
but
you
know,
and
maybe
so
I
don't
know,
but
I
think
about
keep
Columbus
beautiful,
I.
Think
of
some
of
the
other
organizations
we
have
and
I've
I've
talked
about
partnering
up
with
local
businesses.
Corporations
to
try
to
take
more
pride
in
our
community
I
was
amazed.
J
It
just
takes
somebody
to
partner
them
up
to
go,
and
maybe
maybe
they'll
provide
some
funds
to
take
care
of
the
programs
if
the
kids
would
come
out
and
get
involved
in
maybe
working
on
their
property
and
cleaning
their
properties
and
making
it
look
a
little
bit
better
other
with
the
goal
of
ultimately
keeping
Columbus
beautiful
and
solving
some
of
the
concerns
that
we've
heard.
Many
people
come
up
here
and
talk
about,
and
we
talk
about
it.
J
You
know
about
just
some
of
our
areas,
but
I
will
tell
you
in
just
coming
back
from
from
Macon
last
week.
I
did
notice
that
things.
There
was
quite
an
improvement
in
the
community,
I,
don't
know,
what's
been
going
on,
but
maybe
it's
just
I'm
looking
at
making
and
then
I
come
back
here
and
I'm
like
whoa
It's,
a
pretty
clean
here,
but
there's
still
challenges,
and
certainly
with
businesses
all
over
and
I.
Think
you
know
for
a
couple
hours
a
day
you
go
talk
to
the
general
manager.
J
A
couple
hours
a
day,
bring
some
kids
in
work
with
their
people
together.
We're
going
to
make
your
property
look
good,
I,
think
that'd
be
all
for
it,
maybe
even
write
a
check
if
they
can
contribute,
maybe
contribute
to
some
programs
or
something
because
they're
getting
something
out
of
it.
And
then
you
know
the
kids,
our
youth
are
giving
community
service
or
people
that
need
some
assistance
can
can
I
see
that
you
know
the
hourly
wage
up
there.
You
know
there's
opportunities
there.
It's
just
a
matter
of
making
that
well
I.
J
Think
there's
something
there.
If
we
could,
we
could
focus
on
that
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more
there's
opportunities
or
you
know
we
used
to
have
I
guess
there
was
a
lot
of
payback
to
the
community
I
guess
you
can
call
that
community
service
at
a
time.
I
don't
know
where
that
is
now,
but
that
used
to
make
a
big
difference
in
our
community,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
because
you
know
it
just
these
ideas
and
solutions
can
really
do
things
to
improve
our
community
as
we
take.
B
Pride
again,
I
can
tell
you
we're
we.
The
ultimate
goal
is
to
have
several
hundred
kids
in
this,
which
would
would
mean
branching
out
into
our
corporate
citizens.
We
had
the
conversations
right
before
covet
hit
and
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
doing
that
exact
thing,
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
try
to
expand
it.
Obviously
it
takes
money,
but
we'll
we'll
we'll
continue
to
work
on
that
and
we'll
we'll
put
that
in
the
hopper
as
we
discuss
it.
AA
Thank
you,
Mr
city
manager,
good
morning,
mayor
members
of
council,
just
a
brief
update
on
the
work
over
at
City
Hall,
as
well
as
the
timeline
for
departments
starting
to
relocate
to
that
new
facility,
I'm,
just
going
to
run
through
the
buildings
that
we
purchased
again
real
quickly,
just
to
kind
of
refresh
everybody's
memory.
This
is
the
executive
building,
so
Synovus
is
still
occupying
this
building
until
July
31st
of
next
year,
so
they
still
are
operating
out
of
this
building
these
next
three
buildings
are
all
buildings
that
we
are
now
moving
to
occupy.
AA
AA
One
relocations
will
are
currently
scheduled
to
begin
June,
20th
2023
and
all
these
departments
shown
would
be
relocated
by
July
17
2023,
and
this
is
a
tentative
schedule
with
construction.
You
know
we
may
miss
one
final
piece
that
holds
us
up.
We
don't
anticipate
any
of
those
issues,
but
just
want
to
point
that
out
that
this
is
currently
the
tentative
schedule.
AA
So
these
departments,
here
the
I.T
Department,
the
Parks
and
Recreation
3-1-1
job
training,
Finance,
the
HR
department,
The
Cooperative,
Extension,
mayor's
office,
City,
manager's
office
city,
attorney's
office
and
Clerk
of
council's
office-
will
be
relocating
starting
June
20th
and
we
have
we're
working
with
the
Departments.
We've
met
with
them
a
couple
times
each
to
set
their
specific
dates.
AA
You
know
a
lot
of
the
smaller
departments
can
move
in
in
one
or
two
days,
so
we
will
be
coming
out
with
a
more
detailed
schedule
that
we
will
share
with
you
and
certainly
with
the
public
of
on
this
day.
This
department,
you
know,
is
relocating
and
what
day
they
will
open
in
the
new
facility
and
then
the
rest
of
the
project.
So
Synovus
will
vacate
the
executive
building
July
31st
2024.
AA
We
have
a
renovation
to
that
facility
that
we
will
do
until
about
March
of
2025
and
in
the
phase
two
relocations,
which
include
the
mayor's
office
city
manager,
City
attorney
Clerk
of
council.
They
will
move
from
a
temporary
location
in
Phase
One
into
their
permanent
location
in
phase
two
and
then
those
other
departments
you
see
there
will
relocate
there
in
2025
as
well,
and
so
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
anybody
has.
AC
AA
AC
AC
AA
So
I
mean
in
their
permanent
Arrangement
when
they
move
in
into
the
executive
building.
There
is,
you
know
large
conference
rooms
on
that
space.
You
know
that
could
be
four
meetings
just
in
their
tip,
where
they're
going
to
be
for
the
next
year
and
a
half
there's
really
not
a
dedicated
space.
There.
O
O
O
O
J
City
manager,
we
I
didn't
notice
in
the
budget,
but
I'm
sure
it's
in
there
that
the
carrying
of
the
operating
costs
I
don't
know
if
we've
ever
seen
anything
pertaining
to
this
facility
in
the
operating
call
side
of
it.
I
know
we
have
work
here,
we're
going
to
carry
the
operating
costs
and
some
of
these
other
buildings,
but
in
in
reference
to
the
phase
in
in
the
in
the
Mugen.
J
J
What
can
you
give
us
a
little
understanding
how
that's
going
to
kind
of
transpire
and
kind
of
play
out,
because
I
do
know
that
again,
the
you
know,
there's
the
government
center
in
our
city
hall,
you
know,
like
I,
said:
I'm
I'm
sure
we
budgeted
for
it
in
this
year's
budget,
but
I
have
not
seen
that
number
of
what
and
I
think.
Probably
it's
an
estimate,
because
over
time
you
know
you'll
know
what
the
actual
is.
But
can
you
kind
of
address
that
yeah
well.
E
Additional
positions
to
maintain
the
new
building
I
mean
it's
250
000
square
feet,
but
we've
not
gotten
all
of
those
positions
clunded
that
we
will
need
in
terms
of
managing
and
operating,
but
you
did
approve
some
and
and
and
and
one
thing
that
was
an
Omission
that
was
brought
to
my
attention.
Just
last
Friday
is
that
we
did
not
request
a
position
for
someone
to
manage
the
desk.
If
you
will,
when
you
walk
into
the
building,
there
will
be
a
desk
that
will
I
guess
a
information
desk
that
will
direct
people.
E
Then
there
will
be
security
there
at
that
desk.
Well,
we
didn't
budge.
We
didn't
ask
you
for
a
position
for
that
and
it's
something
that
we
do
need
to
come
back
and
and
ask
for
because
without
that
position
someone
walks
into
the
building,
there's
no
one
to
check
in
with
that
information
and
say:
oh,
this
is
over
here
and
that's
over
there.
So
we
still
got
I
mean
that
was
an
Omission
on
our
part
that
we
didn't
ask
for
that.
But
people
will
be
like
you
heard.
E
Workforce
investment
they're
going
to
be
moving
out
of
the
annex
over
by
on
10th
and
so
you're
gonna
have
people
coming
from
various
different
buildings.
Hr
Folk
they're,
going
to
be
some
people
moving
out
of
the
wing
so
that
some
people
in
the
wings
will
move
into
the
government
center.
That
is
and
some
will
move
into
the
Synovus
property
so
that
we
can
prepare
those
structures
for
whatever
we're
going
to
do
with
them
and
we're
going
to
be
having
some
additional
conversation
with
Council
I
know
correct.
AA
So
at
the
government
center
the
ite
finance
and
then
the
sixth
floor,
which
is
Mayor
city
manager,
clerk,
Council,
City
attorney
those
floors.
Once
those
departments
move
out
of
the
fifth
and
sixth
floor
departments
that
are
currently
in
the
wings
will
move
into
the
tower
temporarily,
and
so
that
allows
the
wings
to
be
emptied
out
which
allows
us
to
Begin
work
on
the
wings
for
the
new
judicial
Center.
AA
So
once
everybody
moves
to
City
Hall
that
opens
space
up
in
the
in
the
government
center
Tower,
which
allows
us
to
be
able
to
empty
the
wings
and
then
start
on
start
on
that
project.
The
annex
will
really
operate,
as
is
for
until
2025
and
then
at
that
time
you
know
the
city
can
evaluate
what
it
wants
to
do
with
that
property.
Well,.
J
B
J
E
Yeah
go
ahead:
Miss
city
manager,
no
I
was
going
to
say
that's
kind
of
the
hold
up
that
they
in
the
agreement
they're
going
to
occupy
that
building
for
some
time
period,
but
but
back
to
the
operating
calls.
We
did
budget
for
utilities
and
other
for
that
new
building
and
then
government
center
and
so
forth.
So
we've
done
that,
but
that's
one
Omission
I
can
tell
you-
and
we
may
even
ask
you
for
that
during
first
reading,
because
we
gotta
when
people
walk
into
that
building.
Concierge
yeah,
yes,
yeah,
yeah,
I,
agree.
J
E
J
AC
Go
yeah
I
apologize
I
got
foggy,
Hospital
brain
right
now
in
reference
to
those
conference.
Rooms.
I
also
want
to
make
note
that
Council
I
mean
Clerk
of
council
also
have
meetings
they're
the
honor
board
meets,
and
it
will
be
nice
for
them
to
have
the
area
I.
Don't
know
if
that's
in
the
design
plans
for
the,
so
they
don't
have
to
relocate
and
go
to
a
different
floor.
Try
to
find
something
but
have
a
permanent
conference
room
for
the
clerk
of
council
I.
Just
I
just
think.
AC
AA
Yes,
absolutely
we
have,
you
know
floor
plans
for
all
the
the
Departments
and
where
they're
they're
located
at
and
certainly
I
said
in
their
permanent
Arrangement,
there's
a
dedicated
conference
room
in
their
space
and
then
even
on
their
same
floor
is
actually
a
large.
These
synovus's
boardroom,
where
it
used
to
be
their
boardroom,
is
on
their
floor
in
the
permanent
Arrangement
too,
but
certainly
we
can
share
diagrams
of
where
all
the
various
departments
are
going
and.
AC
AA
E
And
I
will
say
that
it's
not
going
to
be
very
comfortable
for
any
I,
think
I
know
I'm
going
to
be
in
a
temporary
space.
The
mayor
is
going
to
be
in
temporary
space.
There
may
be
cubicles
outside
the
Mayors
in
your
area
that
are
still
so
it's
not
it's
it's
just
it's
gonna.
It's
a
hold
in
space
really
until
we
get
to
yeah
so
Nova's
out
of
that
property
and
get
everybody
moved
around
and
get
their
permanent
space
now.
E
AA
AC
G
AA
I
should
have
mentioned
this
before,
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
replanting
all
of
that
property.
So
right
now
it
is
a
few
different
Parcels,
so
we're
in
the
process
of
replanting
it
to
make
it
all
one
parcel
and
re-address
it
and
the
plan
is
to
address
it
is
11
11,
First
Avenue,
and
so
that
would
be
the
the
main
address
that
you
would
give
to
people.
You
know
to
identify
where
the
facility
is.
G
AA
So
there
there
is
no
security
screening,
the
sheriff
you
know
will
have
a
security
Presence
at
the
building,
but
there
will
be
no
just
like
here.
You
know
where
you
don't
have
to
go
through
screening
or
things
like
that.
That's
how
it'll
be
at
the
new
facility,
so
you
you
will
be
able
to
access
the
facility.
You
know
from
First
Avenue
from
the
parking
garage
off
of
Broadway,
so
there'll
be
multiple
ways.
You
know
if
you
park
anywhere
around
that
block
you'll
be
able
to
to
get
into
the
building.
So.
E
So
we
will
have
some
of
the
information
desk,
but
Security
will
be
there
with
them
much
like
at
this
building
or
the
school
district
building.
When
you
walk
in
and
that's
why
I
say
that
there
was
no
mission
on
our
part
not
to
have
that
put
that
person
in
the
budget
and
that
will
be
there
and
security
and
so
forth
with
that
will
be
the
information
person.
AA
You
would
be
able
to
get
from
Broadway
into
the
HR
building
or
if
you
did
come
in
on
the
First
Avenue
side,
you'd
be
able
to
get
through
the
facility
and
access
it
that
way
we
have
a
extensive
signage
package.
So
there's
you
know,
directories
at
every
door,
there's
directional
signs.
So
if
you
come
to
a
you
know,
a
t
in
the
hallway
it'll
tell
you
HR
department
to
the
right.
You
know
to
try
to
help
guide
people
as
best
we
can.
AC
AA
AA
And
I
did
want
to
mention
that
handicapped
parking
for
Citizens,
who
need
that
you
know
there.
There
is
some
handicap
parking
in
the
public
areas
of
the
garage,
and
then
we
are
also
in
the
process
of
adding
a
couple
of
handicap
spaces
on
Broadway
to
make
it
easier
to
access
the
facility
for
those
individuals.
E
E
E
B
E
All
the
questions,
and-
and
so
you
know,
we
may
even
come
back
next
week
or
at
the
next
business
meeting
and
do
another
brief
update
and
so
we're
going
to
just
have
to
keep
doing
this.
You
know
because
the
move
is
going
to
come.
I
think
our
next
business
meeting
is
on
the
13th
and
so
that
very
next
week
or
that
weekend
you
know
we're
going
to
start
to
move
some
people
and
I
think
I.T
is
going
to
move
first,
correct
and
and
Then
followed
by
some
others.
E
E
AE
Good
morning,
mayor
Pro,
tem
members
of
council
Mr
city
manager.
This
is
just
an
update
on
the
personal
Transportation
vehicles
on
the
PTV.
There
was
someone
that
came
forward
on
public
agenda,
and
so
we
were
requested
to
review
the
extension
of
the
boundaries
for
golf
carts
or
ptvs
in
the
Uptown
area,
and
so
just
to
review
the
current
ordinance
which
has
been
in
place
since
2015.
It
determined
which
segments
of
public
streets
could
be
suitable
for
both
ptvs
golf
carts
or
and
regular
vehicular
traffic,
and
there
were
streets
designated
specifically
in
the
Uptown
area.
AE
For
that
purpose,
there
were
some
requirements
in
that
ordinance
as
it
was
passed,
and
the
proposal
is
not
to
change
any
of
the
current
requirements.
Operators
have
to
have
a
driver's
license
have
to
comply
with
all
traffic
laws
cannot
go
over
20
miles
an
hour
and
those
streets
that
this
is
designated
for.
Ptbs
have
to
be
at
25
miles
an
hour,
there's
obviously
subject
to
the
same
traffic
requirements
they
have
to
park
in
a
designated
parking
space
and
they
have
to
remain
seated
at
all
time.
AE
AE
So
this
is
the
current
streets
and
I
do
have
a
map,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
one
of
these
Street
segments
I'll
go
through
the
map,
but
the
proposal
is
to
add
a
specific
Street
segments
to
the
existing
map
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
click
to
the
map.
It
might
be
easier
to
see
the
red
is
the
current
street,
so
it's
basically
Bay
Avenue
Front
Avenue.
You
can
go
all
the
way
from
fifth
to
14th
Street,
which
goes
under
the
13th
Street
Bridge.
AE
The
only
place
that
you
can
cross
13th
Street
is
at
Broadway
and
on
Broadway
you
can
go
all
the
way
from
4th
to
14th
Street
and
then,
when
you
get
over
to
First,
you
can
go
from
Victory
Drive
4th,
Avenue,
all
the
way
or
Fourth
Street.
All
the
way
to
13th
Street
cannot
cross
13th
Street
on
First
Avenue
Second
Avenue
was
not
included
in
the
initial
Street
segments.
There
was
a
lot
of
traffic
on
2nd
Avenue,
so
we
at
that
time
between
the
police
department,
the
fire
department,
engineering
department,
City
attorney's
office.
AE
We
felt
that
Second
Avenue
should
not
be
included
at
that
time.
Third
Avenue
all
the
way
again
from
4th
Street
to
13th
Street
and
then
the
cross
streets
from
5th
6th,
7th,
8th,
19th,
11th
and
12th.
You
could
go
from
as
far
over
from
the
river
to
Veterans
Parkway.
We
did
not
want
anyone
at
that
time.
Crossing,
Veterans,
Parkway
and
so
when
the
gentleman
came
to
council
was
requesting
additional
access.
Now
that
we're
having
development
on
the
other
side
of
Veterans
Parkway
over
by
Fetch
and
Moe's
and
now
I
have
scoff
Brewing.
AE
The
request
was:
can
we
also
expand
the
boundaries
over
to
that
area?
So
again
we
met
the
city,
attorney's
office,
Police
Department
fire
department,
engineering
department
and
really
reviewed
what
was
submitted
and
came
to
the
agreement
that
this
was
the
recommendation
for
the
proposed
Street
segments
to
be
added.
We
looked
at
2nd
Avenue,
really
from
4th
Street
up
to
9th
Street,
so
just
added
that
residential
area
of
Second
Avenue
also
there's
a
short
Street
Chapel
or
that
goes
between
seventh
7th
and
8th
Street
kind
of
a
half
block.
AE
I.
Don't
really
know
why
we
omitted
that
one
before,
but
that
one
was
omitted
and
then,
on
the
north
side
of
13th
Street,
we
looked
at
14th
Street
as
the
connector
Street
to
get
over
across
Veterans
Parkway.
So
that
would
be
the
only
place
that
could
cross
Veterans
Parkway.
It
does
have
to
be
at
a
signalized
intersection.
AE
We
would
have
to
have
signage
on
Veterans
Parkway
to
notify
traffic
that
there
is
a
Crossing.
They
would
have
to
be
in
the
same
Lane
with
vehicles,
which
is
what
they
are
in
the
downtown
or
in
the
Uptown
area,
and
then
they
could
obviously
not
go
on
13th
Street,
but
they
would
stay
Fifth,
Avenue,
6th,
Avenue
and
then
around
that
development.
That's
over
on
the
other
side
of
Veterans
Parkway.
AE
So
the
only
places
to
cross
really
those
very
busy
streets
is
at
13th
and
Broadway,
which
they
can
currently
do
now
and
then
at
veterans
and
14th
Street.
So
that
is
kind
of
The
Proposal
that
we
discussed
internally
and
wanted
to
bring
that
back
as
an
update
to
council
for
their
consideration.
This
will
be
an
ordinance,
so
it'll
be
on
first
and
second
reading
coming
forward.
If
Council
so
wishes
to
add
these
additional
streets,
councilor.
B
G
I
I
have
to
tell
you
director
Hodge
that
I
am
adamantly
opposed
to
having
a
Crossing
Veterans
Parkway
Veterans
Parkway
is
one
of
the
busiest
streets
in
this
city.
It
also
is
very
that
location,
I
I,
don't
know
that
I've
ever
been
down
there,
that
I
didn't
see
either
a
fire
truck
or
an
ambulance
going
up
to
Midtown
I
mean
Piedmont
Hospital.
G
The
the
police
officers
and
the
firemen
that
I
have
spoken
with
are
adamantly
opposed
to
allowing
golf
carts
anywhere
on
Veterans
Parkway.
So
if
the
resolution
comes
back
with
a
Veterans
Parkway
Crossing,
it
will
not
have
my
support.
I
can't
do
that
to
our
citizens
and
to
our
Public
Safety
folks
understand
the
wish
to
have
carts
down
on
that
on
the
Fifth
Avenue
6th
Avenue
area.
I
understand
that
I
understand.
G
There
are
a
lot
of
restaurants
going
in
there
now,
but
I
also
understand
that
Veterans
Parkway
is
not
to,
in
my
mind,
acceptable
Crossing,
for
sometimes
it's
not
acceptable
Crossing
for
an
SUV,
much
less
a
golf
cart
and
I.
Just
I
I
just
would
wish
that
you
would
reconsider
that
Veterans
Parkway,
the
the
rest
of
it
I.
You
know
I
don't
have
a
problem
with,
but
that
portion
of
Veterans
Parkway
I
am
adamantly
opposed
and
will
vote
no.
Yes,.
AE
AE
I
mean
there
is
at
every
intersection,
but
this
is
where
the
trail
crosses.
So
there
is
some,
you
know
pedestrian
and
bicycle
Crossing,
and
so
that's
why
this
particular
intersection
was
selected,
but
we
completely
understand
your
concerns.
That
was
one
of
our
concerns
that
we
did
talk
about
for
a
long
time,
but
felt
that,
if
we're
going
to
cross
Veterans
Parkway,
this
would
be
the
recommended
intersection
and.
G
V
AD
AE
H
Thank
you
I
understand
your
concerns.
I
crossed
that
intersection
all
the
time
on
my
bike
when
I
when
I'm
on
the
dragonfly
Trail
and
they
do
have
it
marked-
and
it
does
appear-
you
know
for
for
bikes
and
pedestrians
there,
and
it
does
appear
that
traffic
at
that
intersection
is
kind
of
aware
of
the
bike
trail
and
more
pedestrian
usage
at
that,
and
so
they
seem
to
be
a
little
bit
more
well
be
aware
and
I
don't
feel
threatened
when
I
cross
there
because
of
the
traffic
sees
us
and
and
is
very
courteous.
I
J
Yeah
I
wanted
to
I
sympathize
with
councilor
Thomas
and
what
she's
saying
it
would
be
ideal
if
we
could
use
the
the
Riverwalk
I
mean.
That
would
be
an
easy
way
to
to
bypass
all
this,
but
we
can't
because
of
federal
funding
being
involved.
They
won't
allow
these
type
vehicles
on
the
on
the
Riverwalk.
That's
always
been
my
understanding.
The
you
know
I
would
suggest.
Maybe
you
know
a
place
like
Peachtree
City
is
a
cart
friendly
City
and
how
they
tend
to
get
across
some
of
these
major
thoroughfares
or
these
busy
congested
roads.
J
AE
J
Well,
I
do
agree
that
Uptown
seems
to
be
expanding
out
towards
the
mill,
the
Mercer
medical,
some
other
things
on
the
on
the
drawing
board
and
that
connectivity
is
going
to
be
key,
especially
through
the
trails,
possibly
the
dragonfly
Trails,
whether
it's
high
Side,
Market
or
fetch
Park
in
those
areas.
I
think
there's
some
really
some
connective
opportunities
to
further
expand
development
and
and
growth
in
those
areas
and
I
mean
the
question
is
going
to
keep
coming
up.
J
How
are
we
going
to
address
the
concern
such
as
this
right
here,
but
I
do
know,
there's
other
people
already
doing
it,
and
certainly
they
have
the
same
concerns
we
have
and
how
they're
mitigating
that
would
be
a
a
good
it'd,
be
probably
good
to
explore
a
little
bit
and
look
into.
Thank
you.
Council.
B
I
E
I
H
You
I've
been
to
several
different
cities
now,
with
with
my
bike
and
going
on
bike
trails
and
I've,
seen
what
they've
done
in
other
cities
in
major
intersections
like
that
and
they
use
paint
they.
They
paint
that
whole
intersection
with
all
kinds
of
colors
and
bring
attention
to
what's
happening
at
those
intersections,
and
that
was
that's
a
fairly
inexpensive
way
of
drawing
the
the
vehicle
you
know
the
driver's
eyes
and
then
also
making
pedestrians
bikers
and
these
carts
the
drivers
there.
You
know
you're
entering
into
a
danger
zone,
be
careful
and
be
aware.
AE
They
typically
will
not
allow
us
to
paint
in
that
intersection.
They
they
don't
really
even
like
the
green
paint
that
we
put
at
that
intersection
have
requested
that
we
change
it
for
the
dragonfly
Trail,
but
we
would,
you
know,
put
up
signage
and
you
know
make
sure
that
people
understand
that.
That's
you
know,
there's
not
only
pedestrians
and
bicycles,
but
now
golf
carts
at
that
particular
intersection.
So
we'll
then
put
it
on
our
streets.
H
O
B
Yeah
and
and
I
you
know
listen.
We
saw
this
coming
because,
as
we
continue
to
have
more
development
move
north
up,
Second
Avenue
going
across
13th,
which
is
already
a
challenge
because
I've
seen
several
near
misses
coming
down.
13Th
people
turn
left
and
there'll,
be
somebody
in
the
walking
in
in
the
crosswalk.
We
also
are
going
to
see
with
the
increased
development
of
the
Liberty
I
was
about
to
say
with
the
farmer's
market.
B
That's
over
there
we've
seen
more
commercial
interest
in
that
area
and
it's
and
it
is
really
bridging
Uptown
with
Midtown,
eventually
so
I
I
think
it's
all
about
re-education.
It's
all
about
proper
signage
branding
it
with
a
dragonfly.
If
you're
consistent
with
the
dragonfly
at
14th
I
think
you
could
do
that
consistent
branding
that
people
know
to
look
for
it,
bicyclers
all
kinds
of
alternative
modes
of
transportation-
pedestrians-
you
know
there
may
be.
Somebody
walked
from
the
Uptown
area
over
across
Veterans
Parkway
to
go,
have
a
sandwich
at
Moe's
or
something.
B
E
AE
S
AE
AE
But
I'll
give
you
a
kind
of
a
quick
update
of
the
projects
that
we
have
ongoing,
both
under
construction.
Here
there
we
go
and
so
just
to
start
off.
These
are
the
ones
that
are
under
construction,
so
the
resurfacing
you
know
we
had
Council
had
approved
a
new
pavement,
Management
Consultant
that
comes
in
evaluates
all
of
the
streets
throughout
the
city
and
they
score
all
of
the
streets
throughout
the
city,
each
segment
of
a
street.
AE
So
from
this
block
to
this
block,
it's
not
the
whole
length
of
the
street,
they
look
at
each
individual
segment,
they
do
a
scoring
and
that's
what
we
use
to
determine
which
streets
that
we
resurface.
So
they
are
almost
complete
with
that
evaluation.
There's
a
software
system
that
that
comes
with,
we
have
gone
through
the
first
round
of
four
for
the
training
to
use
that
software.
AE
So
that
we'll
be
able
to
say
we
have
this
much
money
budgeted
and
it
will
pull
the
list
of
Street
segments
that
we
need
to
send
to
our
contractor
for
resurfacing.
So
it
takes
out
any
you
know:
requests
from
specific
individuals
from
counselors,
it
doesn't
say
we're
going
to
Target
this
area
or
that
area.
It
evaluates
every
street
in
Columbus
and
we
start
at
the
bottom
and
work
our
way
up,
so
we'll
be
moving
forward
with
that.
We
have
resurfacing
funding
this
year
in
the
next
upcoming
fiscal
year,
T
Splash
discretionary.
AE
We
have
the
sploss
and
we
also
have
olos
infrastructure,
so
we'll
continue
to
move
our
resurfacing
program
forward
on
the
salmon
Road
intersection.
We're
wrapping
up
the
road
construction
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
For
that
the
signal
will
follow.
We
expect
to
have
that
intersection
complete
in
90
days,
River
Road,
J.R,
Allen
signals.
AE
We've
encountered
some
rock
at
one
of
the
foundations,
so
they
had
to
do
a
little
bit
of
Shifting.
We
had
to
order
an
extension
for
one
of
the
Mast
arms
which
will
not
get
here
until
October,
so
we're
trying
to
work
with
them
to
see
if
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
something
moving
quicker
and
make
that
change
at
that
intersection
before
that
extension
gets
here,
so
we're
working
with
g
dot.
On
that
one
I
know,
councilor
Davis
has
seen
some
pretty
horrific
accidents
at
that
intersection,
so
we're
working
to
get
that
one
complete
spiderweb.
AE
Obviously
we
get
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
spiderweb
phase.
One
is
complete:
we're
complete
working
on
the
utility
relocation.
We
do
have
the
agreement
with
the
railroad
in
place,
so
we
will
be
putting
out
the
bid
for
the
actual
Bridge
construction
in
the
next
few
months.
We
did
bid
it
out
once
bids
came
in
extremely
high,
so
we
are
going
to
rebid
that
project
in
the
next
couple
months
and
we'll
just
need
to
move
forward.
AE
AE
O
O
AE
O
This
has
been
ongoing
conversation
now
for
about
five
or
six
years,
because
when
we
first
started
out,
it
appeared
with
the
first
band
being
from
2012
to
2022
that
we
would
come
out
of
that
2022
ban,
at
least
in
construction
yeah
and
being
ready
to
roll.
So,
but
let
me
know
I'll
check,
I'll
check
back
in
with
you
from
time
to
time
to
see
what's
going
on,
because
you
do,
you
feel
that
we
will
have
a
bridge
within
the
next
year
and
a
half
two
years.
I.
AE
J
Thank
you,
mayor,
Deputy,
city
manager,
Han
appreciate
you
bringing
that
up
about
the
River
Road
J.R
Allen
signals.
Let
me
just
say:
I
we've
been
working
for
years
and
trying
to
find
a
way
to
mitigate
that
I
mean
you
just
pull
the
accident
report
most
recently.
Well,
it's
numerous.
The
accident
support
report
and
people
have
lost
their
lives.
There
there's
been
a
number
of
issues
there
most
recently
I
just
can't
get
the
the
picture.
J
Out
of
my
mind
where
a
car
was
just
slammed
and
you
know
it's
Windows,
the
whole
car
is
crushed,
laying
down
by
the
River
Road
Bridge
upside
down
and
I.
Think
Public
Safety
had
to
deal
with
that
for
several
hours.
I
can
only
imagine
that
somebody
got
hurt
really
really
bad
in
that
crash,
but
we've
been
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
deal
with
this
for
a
long
time.
I
wish
we
could
do
a
roundabout
there,
but
that's
that
was
looked
at
I.
Don't
think
that
could
happen
now.
J
I
will
tell
you,
Miss
city
manager,
Mr
Mayor.
You
need
to
be
ready,
there's
probably
going
to
be
some
people
going
to
be
a
little
upset
about.
You
know
having
a
signal
light
there
and
all
of
a
sudden
you
gotta,
slow
down
some
people.
Think
that's!
You
know
it's
a
an
issue
straight
from
from
the
devil.
You
know
that
red
lights
I've
heard
that
many
many
times,
but
it's
people
like
to
there's
a
lot
of.
J
J
That
way-
and
you
know
now,
there's
going
to
be
somewhat
of
a
Slowdown,
there
is
going
to
be
a
slow
down
mechanism.
There
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people
that
are
going
to
be
a
little
upset
with
it,
but
there's
no
other
way
to
deal
with
those
intersections
are
they're
dangerous,
extremely
dangerous.
J
Like
I
said,
people
have
been
hurt
many
many
times
and
there's
going
to
be
more
and
less
we're
able
to
come
up
with
a
solution.
This
is
it
plus
it's
going
to
be
lighted,
so
you
can
see
that
now,
which
has
always
been
a
challenge,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
this
getting
through,
but
just
keep
in
mind.
I
know,
there's
going
to
be,
some
people
are
not
going
to
be
happy
with
having
to
slow
down,
but
it's
the
only
way
to
do
it.
J
You
just
kind
of
have
to
learn
some
new
patterns
and
and
getting
used
to
that
I
want
to
it's
probably
on
the
next
slide,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
Fortson
Road
a
little
bit.
I
mean
that's
just
you
know
it's
we've
it
it
it's
taken
a
while
I
wish.
We
can
get
that
expedited.
It's
it's
a
real
issue.
There
mayor
that's
over
there
close
to
where
you
live.
Just
the
traffic
just
continues
to
get
worse
and
worse.
There
people
are
asking
about
it.
J
I
know
it's
been
on
the
drawing
board
for
a
long
long
time
and
and
in
saying
that
I
want
to
the
city
manager.
I
want
to
implore
the
city
one
more
time.
Another
call
out
that
if
we
could
take
discretionary
funds
or
any
way
these
funds
that
we
have
to
do
projects
and
get
ahead
of
the
game,
we
really
need
to
get
ahead
of
the
game
and
when
I
say
the
game,
the
game
is
civil
engineering.
J
If
we
can
get
civil
engineering
out
of
the
way
I
think
we
can
fund
those
things
and
get
that
out
of
the
way
you
can
turn
the
light
switch
on.
You
can
flip
the
switch
construction
at
any
time
once
you
do
the
other
process,
but
what's
taking
so
long?
Is
that
we're
doing
it
all
at
once?
So
we
do
the
civil
engineer
and
it
takes
several
years
a
year
plus,
then
we
come
back
in
they
want
to
make
changes
another
year,
then
we
have
to
go
through
another
process.
J
It's
four
or
five
plus
years
before
we
even
make
progress.
There's
got
to
be
a
way
to
expedite
these
matters
and
I
think
it.
You
know,
I'm
convinced
this
through
civil
engineering.
If
we
can
just
get
them
done,
the
civil
engineering
have
it
in
a
file
and
then
that
way,
when
we
get
funding
secured
and
all
the
rest
of
the
stuff,
we
can
just
move
ahead.
J
I
I
implore
the
city
to
really
consider
that
with
all
these
t-splots
projects
and
things
like
that,
we
just
got
to
do
a
better
job
of
moving
at
a
faster
pace
and
we
can
do
it.
I
know
we
can
do
it.
You
know
we're
good
at
that.
We
can
do
it.
We've
got
good
people,
you
know,
even
if
it
takes
working
with
the
private
sector.
We
can
do
it
and
one
road
comes,
to
my
mind,
is
Whitesville
Road.
J
You
know,
there's
no
reason
that
we
can't
go
ahead
and
get
the
civil
engineering
done,
and
then
you
know
move
from
there,
whatever
it
takes
to
expedite
these
things,
because
it's
just
you
know,
the
growth
is
happening.
The
growth
is
so
far
ahead
of
us.
We
got
to
catch
up
with
it
and
get
back
to
where
we're
in
control
and
I.
E
You
know
because
if,
if
let's
say
they
put
it
in
band
two
and
then
you
go
in
and
and
do
some
things
that's
in
band
too,
and
it's
not
authorized
if
we
spend
our
local
money
I,
don't
think
we're
gonna
get
our
money
back,
because
you
know
it's
when
they
signed
the
contract
with
us.
It
allows
us
to
proceed
forward
and
anything
occurring
prior
to
that
date.
E
They're
not
going
to
reimburse
us
forward,
and
so
that's
where
you
know-
and
we
say
we've
said
to
the
chamber
and
other
folk.
You
know
when
they've
asked
you
know
about
events
and
projects
if
we
spend
a
dime
prior
to
the
contract,
we're
not
going
to
get
that
money
back,
and
so,
unless
it's
a
locally
controlled
dollar
project.
E
You
know
there
are
certain
things
if
we
want
to
get
reimbursed
paid
for
it.
We
just
can't
do
so.
I
just
want
to
be
citizens
to
be
clear
and
and
know
that
you
know
if
it's
a
band
to
a
Man
3
project
I
mean
you
know,
you've
heard
me
say
in
recent
weeks
I
mean
we've
had
to
pay
money
back
that
you
didn't
sign
one
form
on
you
know
there
was
one
form
that
didn't
get
so
I
mean
it's
it's
very.
We
got
to
be
very
careful
with
How
We
Do.
AD
J
They
are
adjustments.
I,
don't
I,
don't
understand
why
you,
you
should
be
penalized
on
a
matter
like
that.
You
know
it's
you,
the
payment's
going
to
be
coming
in
the
funds
are
going
to
be
coming
in.
You
ought
to
be
able
to
advance
a
project
and
and
I
know
that
that's
as
we
go
as
we
experience
these
I
guess.
Funding
mechanisms
like
yeah
t-spot,
splots
I
mean
these
are
ways
to
make
good
improvements
and
adjustments
to
to
help
and.
E
We've
done
I,
don't
see
why
they
wouldn't
be
on
board,
and
we've
done
some
of
that
such
a
steam,
your
road.
When
we
had
that
last
fatality
on
Steam
Mill
Road,
we
had
to
call
them
and
get
and
write
and
that
they
would
allow
us
to
advance
the
utility
and
engineer
and
Design
and
they
did
and-
and
so
you
know,
I,
don't
know
that
they'll
do
that
on
multiple
projects,
but
we've
done
it
before
and
and
then
we
funded
some
projects
before
that.
You
know
it
was
just
taking
Georgia
DOT
too
long
and
I.
E
But
Council
decided
they
were
going
to
spend
seven
million
dollars
of
local
money
to
move
Moon
row
forward
at
that
time,
because
we
didn't
want
to
wait
on
Georgia,
DLT
and
so
I
think
there
were
like
14
million
sitting
out
there
with
Georgia
OT,
but
we
spent
seven
million
of
local
dollars.
So
I
mean
that's
what
we
that's.
What
we're
dealing
with
I
just
you
know,
I
want
to
be
clear
all
right
that
was
your
District
Moon
Road,
that's
okay!.
I
For
the
resurfacing
and
restriping
our
would
it
be
possible
to
have
like
a
database
that
Council
can
have
an
access
to
so
that
I
mean
we.
We
get
so
much
communication
from
our
constituents
on
on
issues
that,
like
resurfacing
issues
and
striping,
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
and
give
them
an
idea,
rather
than
harassing
you
on
what
the
status
is
on
on
certain
things.
AE
Can
we
can
look
at
the
software
that
we
have
and
see
if
there's
the
ability
to
have
some
type
of
public
facing
part
or
just
kind
of
learning
the
software?
Now
so
I
can't
answer
your
question,
but
we'll
definitely
look
at
that
and
see
if
there's
a
way
to
provide
some
type
of
public
facing
information.
Yeah.
I
I
B
AC
AE
Would
expect
that
the
system
and
I
haven't
been
trained
on
the
system,
yet
so
I
can't
directly
answer
your
question,
but
I
would
expect
there's
some
type
of
reporting
that
we
can
provide.
You
know
an
updated
report
on
here
was
the
evaluation
of
all
the
streets
and
and
in
order
so
that
you
would
see
you
know
how
we're
how
we're
developing
our
list
now
a
lot
of
times
on
a
particular
Street.
AC
And
that
that
was
one
of
the
concerns
Carver
Street
I'm,
trying
to
see
if
this
councilor
Hooves,
District
or
barns,
but
what
I
noticed
and
I
had
several
citizens
in
that
area
have
concerns
about
how
we're
doing
resurfacing.
So
the
entire
Road
was
resurfaced
except
for
a
small
portion.
I
mean
it's,
probably
wouldn't
even
its
biggest
type.
AC
So
are
we
taking
into
consideration
that
we
skipped
just
that
little
part
to
be
resurfaced,
I
mean
the
entire
going.
You
know,
Carver
Street
has,
if
you
know
that
the
heel
area
over
here
in
Carver
Heights,
is
from
the
bottom
of
the
hill,
all
the
way
to
the
top
of
the
hill
and
probably
a
few
feet
till
you
get
the
ill
just
rolled.
It's
not
completely
paved
like
you
stopped
and
I'm
just
concerned,
because
the
ill
just
rolled
I
think
is
paved
now.
AE
AC
To
your
question,
but
it's
a
it's!
A
real
I
mean
it's
a
little
more
than
that
table.
It's
like
two
houses,
but
it's
just
a
small
portion
and
I'm
just
concerned.
If
we
do
that,
how
does
that
play
within
our
resurfacing
throughout
the
whole
city?
When
we
come
to
small
portions,
where
it
seemed
like
you
just
pull
it
all
the
way
out
to
the
portion,
that's
repave,
and
then
all
this
street
is
repaid.
Yeah.
B
I
I
You
can't
even
tell
if
it's
a
designated
parking
spot
and
I
know
I've
had
a
little
bit
of
communication
back
and
forth,
but
if
you
know
we're
centering
our
tourism
around
the
Uptown
downtown
area,
it's
looking
a
little
tired.
So,
but
if
that
was
not
on
say
that
was
in
the
middle
of
the
list.
Is
that
something
that
we
can
have
open
discussions
about.
AE
M
M
AE
So
185
one
of
us
wrote
the
diverging
diamond
40
complete
they'll,
be
Shifting
the
traffic
over
to
the
new
bridge
to
start
the
demolition
and
the
replacement
of
the
old
structure,
so
that
project's
moving
forward
that
one
is
managed
by
Georgia
DOT.
This
was
a
tease
boss,
project
from
2012.,
also
the
Veterans
Parkway
from
Turnberry
to
State
Route
315.
This
again
is
being
managed
by
g-dot.
The
right-of-way
is
underway.
AE
These
are
kind
of
projects
that
are
under
development.
I
won't
go
through
every
single
one
of
these
and
give
you
they're
all
under
design
or
some
part
in
the
process.
But
I
will
mention
Fortson
Road
Williams
Road.
We
did
have
to
do
a
redesign
in
order
to
avoid
a
16
inch
and
a
20
inch
water
main
so
that
we
didn't
have
to
relocate
those,
so
that
should
be
out
to
bid
in
about
30
days.
AE
We
anticipate
the
notice
to
proceed
by
September
15th,
the
30th
Avenue
signal
and
10th
Avenue
signal
waiting
on
materials
for
those
Military
Drive
infantry
Road.
This
is
down
by
the
National
Infantry
Museum
to
connect
that
to
South
Lumpkin
Road.
Those
are
going
through
Environmental,
185
and
Casita
Road.
This
again
is
a
t-sposs
project
being
managed
by
GDOT
they're
you're,
seeing
some
activity
down
there,
demolition
right-of-way
acquisition,
so
that
one
is
moving
forward.
Mott's
green
will
start
in
the
fall.
The
30th
Street
35th
Street
Second
Avenue
storm
water
relocation.
AE
This
was
from
an
old
deed
back
in
the
early
1900s
that
requires
the
city
to
relocate
a
particular
storm
water
line
off
of
a
piece
of
private
property,
and
so
we
had
that
designed
and
we'll
be
moving
that
one
forward,
some
other
projects.
Just
to
note
these
are
GDOT
projects,
Oglethorpe
Bridge
we
have
as
Council
has
approved.
We
have
met
with
their
consultant.
AE
It's
doing
the
engineering
for
that
project
to
come
back
with
some
information
to
council
to
consider
providing
some
enhancements
to
what
GDOT
is
doing
to
that
standard
bridge
to
be
more
of
a
signature
Bridge
coming
into
Columbus.
So
we've
met
with
them,
we'll
continue
to
meet
with
them
and
then
come
back
to
council
with
some
information
for
you
to
consider.
Do
we
want
to
do
some
enhancements
to
that
bridge
and,
of
course
the
city
would
have
to
pay
for
those
enhancements
and
so
we'll
be
providing
an
update
to
council
soon.
The
River
Road.
Sorry.
O
E
E
E
E
AE
River
Road
resurfacing
that
should
start
soon
like
when
the
next
few
weeks
and
that
is
from
Veterans
Parkway
all
the
way
North
into
Harris
County
you're,
seeing
the
construction
on
Miller,
Road
and
Manchester
Expressway
that
one
is
ongoing.
J.R
Allen,
Manchester
Expressway
improvements,
those
are
wrapping
up,
so
that
should
be
opening
up
soon
you're,
starting
to
see
some
activity
there
at
J.R
Allen
Bradley
Park
for
the
installation
of
a
diverging
diamond.
That
is
a
GDOT
project
and
then
the
where
Copa
Creek
Culvert.
AE
AE
AE
Yes,
we
have,
we
do
have
the
the
plans
for
that
and
we'll
get
you
I
know.
There's
been
some
discussion
with
GDOT
about
the
landscape
and
so
we're
working
through
that
with
GDOT.
We
have
a
lot
of
landscaping
at
that
intersection
that
was
provided
by
the
Gateway
Foundation,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
comes
out
gets
replaced.
So
we
are
working
with
them
on.
J
That
and
I'm
not
sure
on
some
of
those
there's
some
questions
that
some
of
my
constituents
have
raised
about
the
possibility
of
saving
salvaging
utilizing
some
of
the
trees,
such
as
the
magnolia
trees
and
I
I.
Don't
know
if
they've
already
been
taken
out,
but
if
there's
a
way
to
dig
them
out,
maybe
use
them
in
other
places
in
our
community
I
don't
know,
but
they're
mature,
they're,
solid
they've
been
there
just
take
a
contractor.
J
AE
So
moving
on
these
are
our
band
One
projects.
These
will
be
the
city
managed
project,
steamel
Road.
The
design
has
been
authorized
that
one
is
moving
forward.
We
meet
with
the
consultant
every
couple
of
weeks
and
talk
about
the
design
they've
been
out
there
surveying
along
steam,
Mill
Road,
so
that
definitely
is
moving
forward
the
other
projects.
We
have
received
our
local,
let
agreement
from
GDOT.
So
now
we
can
assign
this
to
one
of
our
consultants
and
start
to
move
all
of
these
projects
forward,
and
so
that
is
what
we're
doing
now.
AE
These
are
the
four
projects
in
band,
one
that
GDOT
will
be
managing
and,
of
course
they
have.
They
will
select
a
consultant
and
move
those
forward
with
the
city's
input,
public
meetings
and
and
all
of
that
process
will
take
place
coordinated
with
the
city
and
so
we'll
continue
to
update
you
on
the
band
One
projects,
both
City
and
GDOT,
managed
projects
won't
spend
any
time
on
City
Hall.
You
heard
from
director
Pruitt
on.
J
Deputy
city
manager,
Hodge
Mr,
City
Manager
on
that
would
that
I
mean
if
GDOT
is
now
taken
over
the
management
of
some
of
these
projects,
which
is
different
from
the
past.
You
know:
would
that
open
the
door
maybe
to
what
the
conversation
I
was
having
earlier
about
expediting
projects
and
getting
the
civil
engineering
done
in
ahead
of
time?
Is
there
a
possibility
and
not
all
working
with
them
and
they're
making
the
decisions
we.
AE
AC
AE
AC
AE
AC
Okay,
if
possible,
can
you
share
that
design
with
me?
Yes
and
I
know
I,
think
I'm,
not
sure
if
that's
a
power
or
phone
pole,
that's
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
road
across
the
street
from
her
house
and
how
that
would
impact.
You
know
this
new
design,
but
that
was
one
of
the
main
concerns
and
actually
I
had
a
few
individuals
just
reach
out
to
me
regarding
now
that
school
is
out,
and
we
know
that
this
project
is
probably
going
to
take
some
time
was
the
city
thinking
about
addressing
safety.
AC
AC
AD
E
E
The
speed
limit
is
35
and
can
during
construction
can
we
lower
or
double
the
fan
in
a
construction
zone,
lower
the
speed
limit,
and
then
you
know
they
have
double
fans
on
interstates
if
you're,
speeding
in
a
construction
zone-
and
so
I
was
going
to
ask
staff
if
we
could
one
lower
the
speed
limit,
because
there's
construction
everywhere
out
there
and
these
people
are
walking
along
the
street
every
day.
Putting
these
pink
you
know
and
so
lower
the
speed
limit
and
then
double
fans
in
the
construction
zone.
AC
Yes
and
I
actually
had
I
think
I
mentioned
the
last
one
of
the
previous
Council
meetings
that,
during
spring
break,
it
was
37
people
that
were
pulled
over
for
speeding
just
during
spring
break
week
and
that's
a
week.
That
is
not
highly
travel.
You
know
far
as
going
to
school
and
it
was
during
the
school,
the
school
time
just
doing
a
test,
but
it's
it's
definitely
dangerous
over
there
and
oh
yeah
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
now.
AE
And
just
lastly,
these
are
just
other
facilities
that
are
under
development.
The
judicial
Center
I'm,
going
through
the
design
process,
so
we'll
be
coming
back
to
council
with
more
details
on
the
judicial
Center
Sheriff's
administration.
Building
again,
that's
almost
through
full
design.
We've
come
back
or
come
to
you
for
approval
for
some
Advanced
purchases
related
to
the
systems
that
need
to
be
replaced
in
that
building.
AE
The
jail
assessment
is
with
the
committee
and
this
is
to
hire
a
consultant
and
a
construction
manager
as
we
look
at
providing
the
assessment
of
the
jail
and
the
options
for
those
improvements,
so
that
should
be
coming
back
to
council
very
soon.
Like
I
said
it's
in
committee,
going
through
the
RFP
at
this
time,
fire
station
number
five
that's
moving
forward.
We've
got
the
design
and
construction
team,
that's
been
approved
by
Council
working
with
Pratt
Whitney
on
the
donation
of
additional
parcel
from
them,
and
so
that's
the
deed
is
being
finalized.
AE
Now
that'll
be
coming
back
to
council
for
the
acceptance
of
that
property
from
Pratt
and
Whitney
you've
heard
the
swimming
pool
update
from
director
Browder.
We
also
have
the
excuse
me.
The
Liberty
Theater
heck
bernishaw
is
working
through
the
assessment
of
the
Liberty
Theater,
as
well
as
Ma
Rainey,
and
doing
a
master
plan
on
what
we
can
do
to
make
improvements
to
the
Liberty
Theater,
to
bring
it
back
to
what
it
once
was.
And
so
you'll
be
hearing
more
about
that.
AE
K
Good
morning,
I
want
to
take
just
a
few
minutes.
It's
time
family.
Today,
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
youth.
We
were
contacted
last
week
by
a
young
man,
that's
interested
in
civil
engineering
and
that's
been
a
big
part
of
the
discussion
this
morning
as
well.
He
is
going
to
be
doing
an
intern
with
us
through
the
summer
Barrington
Adams
he
will
be
a
senior
at
Northside,
High
School
and
he
is
interested
in
civil
engineering
and
making
a
difference
in
his
community.
K
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Vance.
We
know
that
this
is
a
very
popular
subject
that
we
get
numerous
emails
from
many
of
you
almost
weekly
about
speeding.
That's
probably
our
number
one
complaint
that
we
receive
and
Vance
Beck
is
kind
of
over
that
he's
over
traffic
engineering.
So
he's
going
to
come
and
do
the
traffic
calming
update.
AF
Good
morning,
I've
met
most
of
you
and
had
correspondence
with
your
emails
and
all
that,
but
for
the
ones
that
I
haven't
I'm
Vance
back
assistant
director,
so
I
will
got
a
couple
of
pictures
up
there.
Some
of
our
traffic
calming
but
I
would
just
like
to
talk
about
a
few
things.
So
last
year
we
had
23
slow
down
and
94
speed
table
requests
this
year,
23
slow
down
and
45
speedtable
request.
AF
Other
forms
of
requests
that
we
get
are
always
stopped
and
I
would
the
mutcd,
which
is
a
national
manual
on
traffic
control.
There
are
very
stringent
criteria
for
an
always
stop
to
be
warranted.
Most
all
that
we
get
on.
There
would
not
meet
those
criteria,
so
we
have
to
be
careful
of
what
we
Implement
speed.
Limit
reduction
I
will
agree
with
the
city
manager
in
construction
that
is
a
norm,
but
on
a
regular
Street.
AF
AF
One
thing
that
has
happened
recently
is
I've.
Had
seven
HOAs
approach
me
about
paying
for
Speed
tables
in
their
respect,
neighborhoods
I've
been
working
on
a
policy
that
would
align
with
our
revised
2012
policy
on
neighborhood
calming,
which
would
require
most
of
the
residents
being
in
favor
of
petitions,
the
whole
nine
yards
but
I'm,
trying
to
finalize
that
and
have
something
that
I
can
bring
to
y'all
a
lot
of
them
that
we
get
or
when
you
look
at
it
on
a
Google
map,
there's
three
or
four
little
cul-de-sac
dead
in
streets.
AF
So
there's
no
there's
no
through
traffic,
it's
the
people
that
live
in
there.
So
you
know
it's
it's
sort
of
frustrating
that
the
HOAs
can't
police,
it
and
I
guess
call
the
people
out
in
their
in
their
meetings
and
all
a
lot
of
streets
won't
qualify
had
an
instance
a
couple
of
months
ago,
where
I
got
a
q
alert
requesting
a
speed
table
in
the
neighborhood
and
within
five
minutes,
I
had
three
requesting
that
they
didn't
want
it.
So
there
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
try
to
make
it
to
where
it's.
AF
Some
recognized
techniques
that
are
for
for
traffic
calming
or
roundabouts
and
I
did
a
little
Recon
and
I
was
shocked.
To
find
I
was
thinking
of
the
eight
major
roundabouts
that
we
have.
We
have
21
current
roundabouts
in
town,
a
lot
of
that's
in
some
of
the
neighborhoods
and
all,
but
they
are
an
excellent
excellent
traffic.
Common
we've
got
several
more
to
come.
The
Williams
Fortson
should
let,
in
a
month
one
of
the
T
Splash
jobs
that
Miss
Hodge
talked
about
the
13th
17th
Linwood
area.
AF
There
are
two
planned
on
steamed
meal.
There's
some
on
Casita
Road
at
far
Road
we're
gonna
do
the
one
at
County
Line
of
mahaffian
house.
So
we
do
have.
We
do
have
things
that
we're
trying
Road
diets
13th
Street
in
Midtown,
around
jar
flying
all
was
a
road
diet,
14th
Street
to
accommodate
the
dragonfly
Trail,
the
13th
Street
Viaduct,
and
the
section
there
that
they're
going
to
resurface
is
getting
a
diet.
AF
University
Avenues,
another
T,
Splash
job
the
tunnel
under
tent,
took
a
diet
to
do
the
trail.
So
again,
these
are
all
excellent
tools,
but
they've
got
to
be
applied
in
the
right
right
manner.
You
can't
go
road
diet,
some
of
your
major
arterials
collectors
and
still
move
traffic
raised
medians,
of
course,
Broadway.
AF
Back
on
that
original
picture,
that
top
right
is
10th
Street
in
front
of
my
office.
The
picture
to
the
left
is
10th
Street.
Today,
so
that
was
a
four-lane
thoroughfare
that
I
was
a
two-lane
with
a
center
turn
lane.
It
looks
good
and
it's
and
it
works
good
in
that
application.
But
I
don't
think
you
would
want
to
go
up
the
road
and
do
11th
like
that,
and
then
you
couldn't
get
out
of
town.
I
can
probably
walk
to
Front
Avenue
certain
times
of
the
day
as
quick
as
I
could
drive
on
10..
AC
AC
What
what's
your
plan
for
areas
that
do
not
have
a
HOA
I
would
say:
I
know,
director,
Newman,
probably
remember
Wilder,
where
you
had
the
Speed
tables
and
we
have
removed
the
speed
tables,
but
that's
a
high
traffic.
You
know
I
guess:
I'm
gonna
use
Roselle
Buckner's
because
that's
his
area,
the
shortcut
people
take
that
route
going
out
towards
Buena
Vista
between
steam,
Mill
Road,
getting
you
know
towards
Buena
Vista
towards
Amber
Drive.
That's
a
highly
driven
area
like
a
lot
of
traffic,
but
it's
no
HOA
right.
AF
AF
Recently
we
did
put
get
the
one
on
Wickham
that
you
and
I
corresponded
about
when
we
plan
on
getting
some
more
we're
wanting
to
monitor
the
one
we
bought
about
four
different
brands,
we're
wanting
to
Monitor
and
see
which
ones
perform
better.
As
far
as
like
battery
life,
visibility,
that
type
thing
and
maintenance,
knob
and
then
that's
kind
of
the
plan
moving
forward-
is
to
rotate
those
through
town,
because
if
you
leave
it
up
too
long,
the
traffic's
going
to
get
desensitized
to
it
and
again
back
to
our
neighborhood
policy.
AF
AC
AC
AC
AC
I
My
questions
was
sort
of
the
same
as
counselor
Tucker's.
Could
you
go
through
what
the
criteria
is
for
for
Speed
tables
and
and
speed?
Bumps
I
mean
I
have
the
same
concerns
as
counselor
Tucker,
particularly
in
Oakland
Park,
with
Walker
Hawthorne
and
Hendrick,
Street
and
I
believe
there's
some
as
of
like
late
last
week
there
was
some
radar
detection
out
there,
but
we're
clocking
people
going
70
80
down
those
streets,
and
so.
AF
Well,
the
city
did
remove
the
ones
that
they
had
put
in
years
ago,
they're
from
a
maintenance
standpoint
retrofitting
going
on
it's
not
going
to
be
an
easy
thing.
I
mean
you're,
going
to
basically
almost
have
to
close
the
street
and
they're
going
to
have
to
be
in
concrete
or
asphalt
the
bolt
Downs
that
are
a
typical
retrofit
throughout
we
experienced.
I
AF
I
AF
Don't
have
the
neighborhood
policy
that
was
adopted
years
ago,
but
it
was
of
course
no
arteriors
are
collectors.
The
streets
had
to
be
like
a
thousand
feet
long.
They
had
to
have
over
500
cars
a
day,
so
a
lot
of
your
neighborhood
streets
would
not
qualify,
but
we
haven't
been
installing
speed.
Titles.
AF
I
Assistant,
so
what
would
the?
What
would
your
solution
be
to
calming
the
traffic,
particularly
Oakland
Park
area,
where
we're
getting
and
I
mean
and
I
have
jumped
off
the
street
several
times
or
been
past,
like
the
city
manager
been
passed
on
with
a
with
a
double
line,
going
the
speed
limit
of
30,
which
is
very
high
for
a
neighborhood
by
cars
like
a
lot
of
cars?
Five,
six
seven
cars
going
70
80
miles
an
hour
down
the
street,
where
kids
are
playing
basketball
on
the
street
or
they're
riding
their
bikes.
I
What
what
is
what
is
the
solution
for
a
neighborhood
that
maybe
doesn't
get
500
cars
a
day,
but
I
mean
this?
Is
it's
it's
a
it's
a
problem
and
it's
a
problem
that
the
citizens
have
been
asking
for
for
14
15
years,
and
it's
and
no
a
no
is
not
really
an
answer
that
I
can
give
them
anymore,
because
their
kids
lives
are
literally
at
stake
and
they
can't
play
outside.
And
it's
that's
that's
something
that
you're
stripping
away
their
parts
of
their
childhood.
We.
AF
I
AC
M
I
The
concerned
streets,
but
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
really
big
problem
and
a
lot
of
the
crime
in
that
part
of
South
Columbus
is
because
of
those
it
it's
because
it's
an
easy
exit
and
entrance
into
the
neighborhood
and
drugs
are
running
back
there
and
gangs
are
running,
police
are
chasing,
I,
mean
it's
kind
of
chaos,
and
if
we
can
slow
the
traffic
down
or
I,
don't
know,
I
mean
if
I
was
running
away
from
the
police.
I
wouldn't
want
to
hit
a
speed
bump
median.
M
F
F
AF
He
allowed
to
meet
the
criteria
in
that
old
policy.
That
I
was
talking
about,
but
I
don't
have
all
of
the
criteria
in
front
of
they
would
have
to
get
a
permit.
Provide
us
a
contractor
that
we
can
vet
get
a
performance
bond
that
type
something
to
have
some
continuity
to
attend.
We,
you
don't
want
to.
I
AF
E
You
know,
I
I
have
to
wonder
how
that
will
impact
home
sale
of
homes
in
that
area.
If,
if
that
sends
a
message
that
there's
a
problem
and
I
don't
want
to
live
on
the
street,
well,
no
well,
no
traffic,
common
and
speed
bumps
and
all
that
that
would
not
unpack
your
sale
of
a
home.
They
like
yeah,
all
the.
M
H
E
H
E
E
H
B
AC
AC
M
AC
E
We
need
to
have
an
annual
budget
for
that
and
and
then
annually
look
at
them
and
then
prioritize
and
the
ones
that
are
the
higher
priority.
When
we
run
out
of
money,
we
just
don't
have
any
money.
They'd
have
to
go
on
a
list,
but
I,
don't
know
how
you
you
say,
those
who
can
afford
and
pay
for
them
and
have
them
and
those
who
can't
don't.
E
AC
Because
if
you
start
deploying
I'm
telling
you,
if
you
start
deploying
those
in
HOAs,
they
have
the
the
funds
to
pay,
and
then
you
have
these
high
travel
corridors
that
are
truly
unsafe
and
are
eligible
that
aren't
I,
think
you
said
grid
streets,
every
counselor
that
has
concerns
from
citizens
will
be
getting
a
call.
Well.
AF
E
E
You
know
which
what
we
got
when
we're
you
know
we
are,
we
have
a
budget
yeah,
and
so
whatever
is
approved
is
what
gets
resurfaced.
I
mean
not
restricted,
but
resurfaced
15-20
miles,
I
mean
you
do
what
you
can
afford,
but
once
you
approve
it,
it
goes
on
the
list
and
and
it's
a
matter
of
when
we
have
budgeted
funds
and
that
way,
everybody's
treated
equally,
all
over
the
county.
AC
Yeah
and
and
I
understand,
I
mean
if
individuals
have
funds
to
pay
I'm,
just
always
looking
at
the
Optics,
but
I
mean
you
can't
you
can't
stop
if
somebody's
coming
and
they
want
to
put
speed
tables
up.
You
can't
stop
them
because
they
have
the
funds.
However,
we
can't
just
focus
on
individuals
who
have
the
funds.
AC
The
city
need
to
actually
have
a
plan
exactly
what
city
manager
said
regarding
you
know
those
corridors
that
are
in
really
unsafe,
just
like
we
did
with
t-spots
with
steamer
road,
with
it
being
pushed
up
to
band
one,
because
it
was
one
of
the
unsafest
corridors
in
Columbus
Georgia.
So
if
we
could
do
that
type
of
study
that
we're
doing
right
now
in
determining
which
you
know
corridors
are
unsafe
and
being
developing
a
plan
yeah
to
deploy
the
speed
tables
yeah.
E
J
Council
Davis
thank
you,
mayor,
Pro,
tem
I,
just
wanted
to
add
the
city
manager
to
I.
Think
about
councilor
Thomas
old
neighborhood
I
mean
they've
been
asking
for
Speed
tables
for
a
long
time,
but
it
can,
in
my
experience,
as
a
council
representative
I'll.
Just
you
can't
get
everybody
to
comply
with
the
requirements
most
of
the
time
they
can't
get
the
number
of
people
to
say
that
you
got
some
that
want
to
do
it,
some
that
don't,
but
they
don't
comply
with
our
requirements.
So
it
it's
not
happening.
E
AG
This
spill
you
sort
of
hear
during
the
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights
just
wanted
to
come
really
before
those
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights
hearings
that
are
set
for
June
13th
and
June
20th
to
just
sort
of
give
Council
a
prize
counsel
of
the
the
notice
of
property
tax
increase
that
will
be
advertised
next
Tuesday.
My
office
is
responsible
for
putting
that
advertisement
in
the
paper,
so
I
kind
of
wanted
to
make
you
all
aware
of.
AG
AG
What
that
means
for
you,
if
you're
a
homeowner
with
a
homestead
exemption,
the
millage
rate
is
not
increasing,
so
there'll
be
no
increases
in
your
property
taxes.
If
again,
you
have
Homestead
and
you
didn't
make
any
changes
to
your
significant
improvements
to
the
property
that
will
warrant
a
reassessment
or,
if
you
didn't,
you
know,
sell
or
purchase
a
home
this
year
or
prior
to
this
year.
AG
E
H
AE
When
we
talk
about
the
rollback
rate
and
reassessments
and
what's
growth,
what's
inflationary,
basically
the
easy
way
to
remember,
it
is
if
it's
new
construction,
an
addition
to
a
property.
If
somebody
puts
a
building
out
built,
a
house
puts
pool
in
puts
an
addition
on
that's
real
growth,
anything
that
we
do,
that
revalues
the
property
as
a
result
of
a
sale
or
when
we
go
through
and
we
do
a
a
full
county-wide
revaluation.
That's
reassessment,
that's
inflationary
growth
and
it's
the
inflationary
growth
that
drives
that
rollback
rate.
AE
Now
we
take
into
consideration
the
inflationary
growth
to
the
exemptions
as
well,
because
when
we
raise
fair
market
value
on
a
homesteaded
property,
we
have
increased
that
amount
of
exemption
that
we
have
here
in
Muskogee
County
because
of
our
Frozen
Homestead.
So
the
local
value
doesn't
change,
but
the
fair
market
value
does,
and
we
have
to
take
that
into
consideration
too.
That
kind
of
balances
the
two
out:
that's
where
we
end
up
with
with.
M
E
AA
Thank
you,
Mississippi
manager,
good
afternoon
now,
mayor
members
of
council
I,
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
the
short-term
rentals.
Have
a
few
slides
here
wanted
to
talk
about
the
current
numbers
that
we
have
in
the
city,
as
well
as
the
current
ordinances
that
are
in
effect
after
the
moratorium,
recently
expired
and
then
go
into
a
little
bit
about
the
enforcement
efforts
that
we
are
undertaking
So.
Currently,
there
are
153
permitted
and
licensed
short-term
rentals
in
Columbus.
AA
The
most
recent
data
that
we've
gotten
from
the
Columbus
Convention
visitors
bureau
showed
that
there
were
273
active
rentals
in
Columbus
as
of
April
7th.
So
that
means
there's
about
120
rentals
out
there
operating
that
have
not
gotten
the
proper
permits.
After
the
the
moratorium
expired
on
the
15th
of
May
through
May
24th
last
Tuesday.
We
only
saw
five
new
permits
come
in,
so
there
was
not
a
rush.
There
was
not
people
beating
down
our
door
to
get
new
rental
permits.
AA
After
that,
90-day
moratorium
and
I
checked
again
right
before
I
came
out,
and
so
we've
only
issued
an
additional
permit
in
the
week
since
the
24th,
so
I
wanted
to
go
over.
Our
current
ordinance,
which
is
23-008,
is
the
ordinance
number.
This
was
the
ordinance
passed
by
Council
on
January
31st
of
this
year,
so
just
wanted
to
run
through
some
highlights
of
what
this
ordinance
requires
of
short-term
rentals.
It
requires
an
annual
permit
to
be
obtained
from
inspections
and
codes.
The
application
process
includes
all
these
items
you
see
here,
which
includes
a
background
check.
AA
The
newest
requirement
is
the
proof
of
neighbor
notification.
That
was
something
that
was
added
when
the
ordinance
was
approved
at
the
end
of
January,
so
they
they
must
mail
certified
letters
to
their
neighbors.
It
requires
an
inspection
by
a
building
inspector
to
come
out
and
make
sure
that
the
doors
work
that
there's
you
know
proper
Paths
of
egress
at
their
smoke
detectors
that
there's
all
those
Life
Safety
things
that
you
would
expect
to
have
in
a
safe
tourist
accommodation.
So
we
will
go
out
and
do
that
yearly
and
then
there
is
the
40
fee.
AA
The
ordinance
also
included
a
defined
occupant
load
of
two
occupants
per
bedroom,
plus
one
additional
person.
So
if
you
have
a
four
bedroom
house,
that's
eight
people
in
the
bedroom.
One
additional
person
is
a
total
of
nine
occupants
that
are
permitted
in
that
rental
requires
a
sticker
provided
by
inspections
and
codes.
Stickers
are
two
by
two:
they
just
say
short-term
rental
permit
with
a
number.
It
says
2023-001
for
example.
So
it's
a
pretty
simple
sticker
doesn't
draw
your
eye.
AA
It's
not
sticking
out
there
drawing
a
lot
of
attention
and
it
also
included
the
caps
in
the
city's
historic
district.
Since
we
had
a
lot
of
conversation
on,
several
of
these
numbers
were
amended
from
what
the
original
proposed
ordinance
was,
and
so
these
are
all.
The
final
casts
that
we
are
operating
on
at
this
time
and
so
enforcement
I
know
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
yes.
AA
So
I
know
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
about
enforcement
and
how
we
plan
to
reduce
that
number
from
120,
hopefully
down
to
zero
rentals
operating
without
the
proper
permits.
So
now
that
we
have
this
revised
ordinance
in
place,
we've
instituted
a
proactive
enforcement
policy
so
before
it
was
strictly
complaint,
based
which
that's
how
we
normally
operate
with
all
of
our
issues,
not
the
short-term
rentals
but
Tall
Grass
waste,
those
kinds
of
things-
it's
a
large
majority,
90
percent
plus
of
of
our
work,
is
done
off
complaints,
but
with
short-term
rentals.
AA
Specifically,
we
can
now
switch
into
a
proactive
enforcement
policy
that
will
begin
with
receiving
that
report
from
The
Visitors
Bureau
every
month.
So
the
ordinance
talks
about
this,
but
they
provide
us
a
report
through
software
that
they
have
that
lists
all
of
the
rentals
in
the
city.
We
can
compare
that
to
the
ones
that
are
permitted
and
that
spits
out
the
ones
that
are
are
not
permitted
so
every
month,
we'll
get
a
list
like
I
said
right
now
we're
look
we're
working
on
a
list
of
120..
AA
Hopefully,
once
we
get
that
under
control,
it
will
just
be
a
handful
of
rentals
every
month
that
we'll
have
to
do
some
enforcement
measures
again,
so
the
first
step
will
be
to
mail
owners
of
non-compliant
rental,
certified
mail,
giving
them
14
days
to
comply
and
get
registered
with
the
city.
This
is
typical
cool
of
what
we
do
for
all
of
our
code
enforcement
violations.
The
first
step
is
always
to
make
sure
the
owner
gets
served
with
proper
notification.
So
that
is
the
plan
here.
AA
If
the
owner
fails
to
comply
after
those
14
days,
then
we
will
attempt
to
sat
the
owner
operator
of
the
rental.
So
if
it's
a
local
owner,
an
officer
is
going
to
go
to
the
owner's
house
knock
on
their
door
and
then
the
ticket,
if
it's
an
out
of
town
owner,
you
know
we're
going
to
visit
the
rental,
often
try
to
find
a
cleaning
crew,
a
maintenance
person.
Somebody
involved
in
the
operation
of
the
rental
that
we
can.
AA
We
can
physically
cite
initial
enforcement
efforts,
will
focus
on
the
historic
districts,
because
those
are
the
capped
areas.
So
we
want
to
bring
those
back
down
if
they're
over
the
cap.
We
want
to
bring
them
back
down
within
that
cap,
so
we've
actually
already
sent
out
over
40
letters
within
those
historic
districts,
so
people
started
receiving
those
last
week.
So
we're
getting
a
lot
of
calls
about
those.
AA
AA
M
AA
Initial
notification
process
will
be
the
same
that
they
need
to
come.
You
know
the
letter
basically
says
that
you
need
to
contact
us
in
order
to
become
compliant,
need
to
come,
see
us,
and
but
if
there
is
one
that's
over
over
capped
and
they
come
into
our
office,
you
know
we're
gonna,
you
know
inform
them
that
this
part
of
towns
caps.
You
know
you
are
unable
to
legally
operate
a
rental
in
this
location
and
then,
if
it's
continues
to
operate,
we
would
cite
them
and
have
them
go
to
court
for
that
violation.
H
So
why
give
them
the
impression
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
be
allowed
to
become
under
compliance
when
when
we
know
that
they
won't,
because
we're
already
capped?
Why
not
send
them?
Letters
saying
that
you
do
not
comply
with
our
ordinances,
therefore
cease
and
desist
the
operation
of
your
short-term
rental.
It's.
AA
W
AA
H
I
On
the
notifying
The
Neighbors,
which
seems
to
be
causing
a
lot
of
chaos,
because
this
the
certified
letters,
a
lot
of
the
people
who
have
airbnbs,
are
and
have
neighbors
who
are
not,
who
either
rent
and
have
a
landlord
that
is
out

unavailable
and
to
send
them
a
certified
letter
to
have
them
acknowledge
that
they
have
an
Airbnb
next
door
and
rely
on
the
person
who's
out
of
state.
To
send
that
letter
back.
I
AA
The
the
ordinance
is
requires
the
the
adjoining
property
owners
to
be
notified,
so
it's
only
those
properties
that
you
share,
a
property
line
with
that
you
must
notify.
We
will
accept
if
they
mail
it
certified
and
they
can.
You
can
go
to
the
USPS
website
put
in
the
tracking
number
and
show
that
it
was
delivered.
That's
acceptable
proof
to
us
that
the
short-term
rental
operator
has
done
their
due
diligence
to
let
the
neighbors
so.
AA
I
So
their
license
is
just
in
limbo.
Until
then
yes,
I
mean
that
that
makes
does
that,
doesn't
that
that
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
There's
got
to
be
like
a
time
limit
on
how
long
I
mean
if
that
person
has
moved
and
there's
no
there's
no
forwarding
address
like
I
mean
it's,
that's
that's
that
doesn't
work
in
my
mind,
so.
AA
Letter
back
to
you
that
hey
we
tried
to
deliver
it
and
we
couldn't
deliver
it
and
so
we'll
take
you
know
that
that
letter
and
hey
we
sent
it.
Here's
the
tax
records.
Here's
Susan,
who
here
is
the
neighbor's
mailing
address?
You
know
they
tried
to
deliver
it
that
person's.
Not
there
anymore,
you
know,
that's
still
acceptable
to
us.
They
just
have
to
prove
that
they've
made.
You
know
done
their
due
diligence
to
try
to
notify
the
neighbor.
M
I
I
I
mean
I
I,
just
I,
think
I
think
that's
causing
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
headache
for
for
those
Airbnb
owners
and
and
then
they
sit
in
limbo
and
then
they
don't
have
a
a
license
and
then
they're
out
of
compliance,
and
then
they
lose
their
license.
And
now
we
have
caps
and
it's
it's
kind
of
spiraling
the
whole
process
into
into
chaos.
AA
So
the
the
report
that
we
get
from
The
Visitors
Bureau,
you
know
lists
the
address
of
the
rental.
It
provides
a
link
to
the
advertisement
on
Airbnb
or
one
of
those
other
other
websites,
and
then
it
provides
the
owner's
information.
It'll
tell
you
when
the
last
stay
was
booked.
There
it'll
tell
you
when
the
advertisement
was
changed
last
when
they
changed
their
daily
rates,
so
it
gives
some
some
information,
and
so
this
first
round
of
letters
that
we've
received
received
the
same
calls
from
the
first
batch
letters
that
went
out.
AA
Several
of
them
were
rentals
that
operated
maybe
two
or
three
four
years
ago
that
are
no
longer
being
operated.
The
house
was
sold
that
changed
ownership
and
the
new
owners
living
there
and
operating
the
rental,
but
the
software
was
still
flagging
it
as
a
rental.
So
you
know
we
got
with
the
the
citizens
that
called-
and
you
know,
try
to
get
it
get
it
straightened
out.
AA
But
it's
I
said
we
don't
have
the
staff
to
go
through
all
120
rentals
and
try
to
confirm
offhand
what
it
is
so
we're
taking
the
report
which
again
it's
you
know,
mining
the
data
of
all
these
websites
to
pull
out
this
information
and
there's
several
different
softwares
that
do
it
and
they're
generating
that
report
sending
us
to
it
and
then
we're
creating
a
code
case
and
sending
the
letters.
So
somebody
gets
a
letter
and
they're
not
operating
it.
M
H
G
Suppose
that
and
I
don't
know
that
these
numbers
are
correct.
Okay,
this
is
just
a
supposition.
There
are
35
permitted
rentals
in
the
downtown
historic
district
and
we
already
have
35
rentals,
and
if
the
36th
person
sends
you
a
letter
and
says
I
want
to
open
an
Airbnb
and
you
send
them
back
a
letter
that
says
you
have
14
days
to
comply,
there's
no
way
they
can
comply
and
I.
Don't
understand
why
the
letter
doesn't
say:
there's
no
way
you
can
comply.
G
You
know
I
mean
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
not
a.
This
is
not
a
big,
would
not
be
a
big
secretarial
issue
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
to
know
that
in
these
districts
we're
at
the
limit,
and
so
if
we
get
another
one
saying
we
want
to
go
in
there,
we
send
them
this
letter.
If
we
get
if
they're
not
at
the
limit,
we
get
a
letter,
we
send
them
this
letter,
you
know
I,
don't
understand
why
you
give
the
impression
that
you
can
comply
when
you
cannot
comply.
AA
G
AA
And
so
in
my
office,
the
permitting
and
the
review
of
Where
the
rentals
are
and
if
there
are
caps
and
if
they're
permitted
to
go
in
that
area
is
done
really
by
the
building
side,
the
plans,
examiners
and
the
building
inspectors
and
then
but
the
enforcement,
the
actual
going
out
and
siding
people
and
writing
tickets
for
operating
without
the
permit
is
done
by
the
code
enforcement
side.
And
so
the
one
letter
was
just
an
effort
to
make
sure
code
enforcement
had
a
streamlined,
as
you
know,
process
as
much
as
possible.
AA
G
F
Just
curious
how
the
how
many
nights
a
rental
is
available
per
year?
How
does
that
affect
just
the
cap
because,
obviously,
someone
who's
just
making
it
available
for
the
summer
for
the
winter
or
a
few
weekends
a
year?
Does
it
have
near
the
impact
as
someone
who
has
rented
out
all
year
long
was
that
considered
and
there's?
Is
there
a
way
to
allow
more
the
partial
availability
home
some
some
more
access.
F
So
understood
that
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
cap,
because
if
you've
got
35
homes,
who
are
only
available
30
nights
a
year
that
doesn't
have
a
big
impact
that
35
that
are
available
all
year
round.
That
has
a
significant
impact
on
the
availability,
and
so
is
that
considered
into
the
cap.
So
or
is
it
kind
of
a
first
come
first
serve
if
you've
been
doing
it
and
your
grandfather
Dan
that
you've
got
a
priority
so.
AA
F
AA
I
I
AA
We
are
like,
we
have
been
in
contact
with
many
of
The
Operators,
we're
also
in
contact
with
the
business
licenses,
so
anybody
that
had
a
2022
business
license
is
still
within
that
cap
and
we
will
still
work
with
them
until
they
can
meet
all
these
new
requirements
and
get
their
2023
business
license.
So.
AA
AA
You
know
business
licenses
were
working
with
them
to
give
them
time
to
comply
with
these
new
requirements.
We
have
gotten
a
couple
calls
you
know
that
they
don't
plan
on
renewing
or
you
know,
are
no
longer.
We
also
had
some
that
are
owner
occupied,
so
we
were
able
to
take
those
out
of
the
cap,
but
anyone
that
was
operating
that
had
a
2022
business
license.
We're
still
working
with
you
know
to
allow
them
time
to
comply
with
the
new
requirements.
AA
I
So
I
mean
does
that
do
so.
Does
that
mean
that
they
have
a
great
spirit
out
on
that?
Didn't
really
answer?
I
mean
they're
working
with
them,
but
as
I
mean
do
they
pay
the
business
license
penalties
if
they
can't
renew
their
business
license
because
they
can't
come
into
compliance
because
they're
waiting
for
on
the
mail,
no.
AA
I
B
M
M
AH
Yeah
and
thank
you,
my
name
is
Jared
Huckabee.
This
is
Dave
goings,
we're
short-term
rental
owners
in
the
city
just
wanted
to
bring
up
some
concerns.
I
know
that
we've
heard
a
lot
from
concerned
citizens
we
haven't
heard
the
other
side.
Some
of
our
discussions
with
some
of
you
all
throughout
this
process
has
made
it
clear
that
not
not
both
sides
have
come
forward
and
we
haven't
really
known
as
much
about
this.
We
haven't
been
notified
as
much
so
just
like
to
present
some
concerns
and
and
get
some
thoughts.
AH
AH
I
do
much
of
the
work
from
cleaning
to
maintenance
and
everything
myself
so
by
every
measure.
I
would
say
the
city,
the
gas,
the
hosting
platform,
the
neighbors
I
run
mine,
ideally
and
I'd
like
to
say
at
the
outset
that
many
of
us,
short-term
rental
owners,
are
for
some
form
of
regulation
of
this
industry.
It's
like
no,
it's
like
every
other
industry.
It's
going
to
require
some
form
of
Regulation
could.
AH
AH
AH
And
you
know
we
do.
We
won't
know
we
don't
know
until
we
actually
apply
that
I've
submitted
a
open
records
request
to
see
what
the
record
of
enforcement
was
and
I
think.
As
Mr
Pruitt
had
mentioned,
there's
been
43
notifications
act
over
the
last
24
months
of
out
of
compliance,
business
owners
and
of
at
least
120
that
are
out
of
compliance.
How
else
are
they
supposed
to
to
know
to
get
in
compliance
or
how
are
they
to
have
known
before
this
to
get
in
compliance?
AH
And
now
then,
as
he's
stated,
there'd
be
no
opportunity
and
and
I
guess
in
what
other
instance
do
we
wait
to
enforce
our
current
ordinance
until
there's
stricter
measures
in
place?
I
I
don't
see
that
as
a
typical
standard
across
the
board,
we
typically
see
how
our
ordinances
are
affected
and
then
and
then
begin
to
enforce
or
increase
the
measures
if
needed,
but
we
don't
know
how
they
would
work
because
we
have
an
enforcement.
AH
Thank
you,
and
you
know
Mr
proven
he
was
speaking
on
this
at
the
the
zoning
board
meeting
in
December.
You
know
he'd
mentioned
that
there
was
a
lack
of
enforcement
on
these
unregistered
short-term
rentals
and
that
they
had
not
done
a
good
enough
job,
informing
some
of
the
short-terminal
owners
of
their
of
their
compliance
need,
and
so
now,
then,
that
there
is
a
cap
there
would
be
no
opportunity
for
them.
C
AH
AD
AH
10
because
it
didn't
work
for
them
or
they
don't
think
it's
worked
for
them
and
then
in
the
process
of
that
meeting,
it
was
then
slashed
down
to
five,
which
is
five
percent,
is
roughly
what
we
have
now
according
to
the
numbers.
So
this
isn't
an
industry
like
anything
else
where
it
can
just
pop
up
overnight.
It
can
reestablish
overnight.
If,
if
we
cap
it
too
low,
then
the
industry
goes
away
and
there's
no
way
to
to
regain
it
to
regain
those
short-term
rentals
for
Anita's.
AH
You
know
for
people
visiting
the
city
most
of
my
occupants
at
my
short-term
rental.
Our
family
is
coming
to
visit
their
coming
to
visit
their
soldiers
on
on
base
and
we
can
host
a
family
which
would
normally
require
three
or
four
hotel
rooms
to
host,
and
they
just
wouldn't
be
able
to
afford
to
come
down
and
see
their
soldiers
graduating.
So
you
know
I
think
if
we
set
too
drastic
a
cap.
AH
I
think
we've
already
seen
indications
of
how
this
would
go
if
we
were
to
move
forward
in
implementing
this.
From
my
own
personal
experience
and
I'll
share
some
of
that
now,
when
I,
when
I
went
to
go
renew
my
business
license,
I
was
informed
of
the
new
requirements
and
that
these
would
it
was
communicated
that
I
would
have
to
get
to
the
business
tax
office.
AH
That
I
would
have
to
get
my
certificate
of
occupancy
renewed
prior
to
with
the
new
standards
in
place
prior
to
getting
my
business
license
for
2023.,
so
I
was
confused.
Why
I
was
beholden
to
an
ordinance
that
was
not
yet
implemented
and,
as
I
began,
to
complete
some
of
these
items
to
renew
my
certificate
of
occupancy,
which
included
the
neighbor
notification
that
councilor
Coco
talked
about.
AH
I
was
I
was
met
with
a
lot
of
confusion,
suspicion,
rejection
by
my
neighbors
and
not
because
they
were
surprised
to
learn
that
I
was
running
short-term
rental.
They
well
knew
that
I
was
running
short-term
rental
and
we
had
a
great
working
relationship.
They
were
confused
as
to
why
I
would
have
to
do
this
at
all.
Why
I
would
need
their
acknowledgment
of
me
running
my
me
renting
my
property
and
they
refused
to
sign,
and
so
I
can't
can't
blame
it.
AH
This
use
the
same
form
of
notice
to
accomplish
an
eviction
and
to
kick
someone
out
of
their
property
and
I
can,
you
know,
go
through
what
seems
to
be
a
lot
less
rigorous
process
to
to
open
up
a
liquor,
store
or
tobacco
shop,
or
something
like
that
with
a
simple
notice,
a
zoning
notice
requirement.
Then
then,
the
kid
that
I
can
to
just
rent
my
property.
AH
So,
for
a
lot
of
those
reasons,
I
think
that
this
ordinance
is
making
short-term
rental
owners
go
to
an
extreme
and
an
unreasonable
standard
just
to
rent
their
property.
I
know
I've
spoken
with
several
others.
David
include
who
and
some
others
who
are
unlicensed
and
would
like
to
be
licensed,
and
when
the
moratorium
is
in
place,
this
is
the
first
day
to
hurt.
They
had
no
opportunity
to
get
licensed
and
when
they
tried,
they
were,
of
course
rejected
so
with
only
43
notices
of
the
potentially
120
or
more
unlicensed
operating
rentals.
AH
How
else
are
they
supposed
to
have
known?
How
are
they
supposed
to
become
into
compliance
up
to
this
point,
and
how
could
they
going
forward?
Would
there
be
some
form
of
of
grandfather,
so
a
few
questions
I
would
ask
with
all
that
in
mind.
How
do
we
justify
imposing
these
ordinances
without
first
enforcing
the
ordinances
we
have?
AH
Is
it
common
or
a
legal
practice
to
wait
to
enforce
what
we
can
until
we
get
stricter
laws
with
a
less
restrictive
solution
to
solving
this
not
be
to
Simply,
enforce
our
effective
ordinances,
and
how
can
we
reason
that
this
would
not
be
sufficient
to
solve
the
community
concern
that
we've
heard
at
these
meetings?
If
we
haven't
enforced
them?
AI
M
AI
AI
And
it's
just.
We
understand
completely
that
there
must
be
regulation,
because
Windsor
Park
Lake
Bottom
downtown
it
can't
become
a
hotel.
We
understand
that,
but
we
also
need
some
sort
sort
of
notice.
There
has
to
be
some
collaboration
with
the
professionals
that
Columbus
chartered
to
build
out
this
industry.
AI
So
respectfully
you
know,
I
won't
be
like
I
said:
I
won't
be
as
thorough
as
as
Jared,
but
I
want
to
just
invoke
a
sense
of
pause
and
caution,
because
a
lot
of
the
professionals
that
have
been
doing
this
are
going
to
be
damaged
significantly.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
I
have
invested
right
now
on
projects
that
need
a
top-down
renovation
for
to
host
a
military
family.
AI
So
it's
concerning
to
say
the
least,
for
the
people
that
have
been
doing
this,
and
we
didn't
know
that
this
meeting
was
going
to
happen
until
like
this
morning
and
there
would
be
a
lot
more
hosts
here.
Had
we
had
some
notice.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
concern
like
there's
been
questions
like
are
his
big
hotel
behind
this
is
something
going
on,
but
we
know
that
this
is
just
because
this
was
coming.
AI
We
knew
there
was
going
to
be.
You
know,
illegal
operators
that
aren't
doing
it
the
right
way,
but
the
majority
of
the
issues
are
coming
from
the
unlicensed
folks
and
the
reason
that
they're
unlicensed,
why
it's
gotten
so
big
is
because
there
has
been
zero
enforcement
whatsoever,
like
the
amount
of
letters
that
he
mentioned,
that
were
sent
out
it's
more
than
has
been
sent
since
the
beginning
of
the
ordinance
in
2018..
AI
Of
course,
that
was
before
Mr
Pruitt's
time,
I'm,
not
knocking
him,
but
I'm,
just
saying
if
we
enforce
the
rules
that
are
currently
on
the
books
and
work
with
our
hosts
to
give
them
a
heads
up,
I
think
we
can
regulate
this
industry
to
a
point
where
it
doesn't
destroy
tourism,
because
this
is
where
Millennials
want
to
stay.
When
they
come
whitewater
rafting,
they
don't
look
at
a
hotel.
AI
H
I
thought
that
we
had
put
a
moratorium
so
that
we
could
discuss
it
further
and
then
I
I
was
notified.
You
know,
I
somebody
sent
me
a
copy
of
the
ordinance
that
we
had
passed
and
so
I
think
we're
a
little
bit
confused.
There's
some
confusion
all
over
the
place
about
what's
on
the
books
and,
what's
being
what's
what's
being
enforced.
What's
on
the
books
and
I
think
we
need
I
mean
I,
I
have
to
agree,
I
mean
I,
think
maybe
we
we
may
have
overreacted
or
we
did
something
that
we
weren't
unintentionally
well.
AA
I,
just
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
couple
things
all
of
the
the
revisions
to
the
the
ordinance.
The
Caps
specifically,
the
neighbor
notification
was
definitely
a
push
that
we
heard
from
the
concerned.
Neighborhood
groups
that
came
up
here
and
I
know
they
were
at
Council
in
force.
When
we
were
discussing
this
back
in
in
January
and
prior
to
that.
So
that
was
not
you
know,
wasn't
a
staff
driven
change.
It
was
it
our
idea.
AA
This
was
something
that
the
neighbors
came
out
and
advocated
for
and
then
with
the
enforcement
I
said
we
we
have
enforced
it.
It
was
strictly
a
complaint
base
which
is
just
like
any
other
business.
That's
operating
without
a
business
license.
Somebody
notifies
us,
it
says:
hey
somebody's
operating
out
here
without
the
proper
licenses.
You
know
we
send
a
code
enforcement
to
that
location
to
you
know
to
bring
them
into
compliance,
so
we
hadn't
done
any
wide
scale
enforcement.
B
H
H
D
Well,
let
me
say
this
part
of
it:
the
moratorium,
you
didn't
want
it
just
wide
open
where
anybody
could
come
in
with
50
applications
during
the
moratorium,
so
Council
of
cocoa,
wisely
I
think
brought
up,
let's
put
in
some
minimum
caps.
Now,
when
you
pass
the
ordinance
and
you
can
revisit
them
like
you're
doing
today
or
next
month,
they're
in
three
months,
if
these
caps
are
too
stringent,
then
you
can
adjust
them,
but
it
was
wise
to
put
them
in
place.
D
So
you
just
didn't,
have
a
shootout
with
people
bringing
50
applications
in
one
District,
and
now
you
can
revisit
any
of
it
any
of
the
criteria
which
basically
I
think
the
criteria
you're
able
to
enforce
those,
but
the
caps
or
policy
matter
for
the
council
and
if
they're
a
little
too
stringent
in
one
District,
you
can
look
at
them
and
make
adjustments
as
needed.
That
was
the
whole
point
of,
but
at
least
getting
a
starting
point
in
January,
okay,.
H
What
about
the
notification
of
the
neighbors?
That
seems
to
be
a
big
issue?
There's
one
thing
about
notifying
I.
Do
not
ever
remember
us.
Have
us
discussing
that
the
neighbors
had
to
sign
off
and
accept
the
notification.
I
thought
it
was
just
it's
a
courtesy
where
we're
notifying
them
around
us
I
mean
I.
I
would
think
that
it
would
be
something
like
either
mailing
or
tacking
to
the
attacking
to
the
door.
B
Well
and
I
just
stole
my
two
cents,
I
think
if
all
the
operators
and
hosts
were
like
these
two
gentlemen,
we
have
a
lot
less
heartburn
about
about
allowing
these
things.
Although
I
personally
think,
if
you're
a
resident
that
has
sent
money
into
your
house,
you
should
be
notified.
If
somebody
next
door
is
gonna,
there's
gonna
be
a
different
person
in
there.
Every
couple
of
days,
I.
B
But
I
think
our
challenge
is
laws
are
on
the
books,
not
for
folks
that
act,
nice
and
do
right.
Laws
are
on
the
books
where
people
do
the
wrong
thing
and
we
had
a
an
admittedly
I
think
we
were
rushing
to
try
to
get
something
in
place,
because
we
saw
the
impact
in
some
of
these
neighbors
and
some
of
these
neighborhoods.
B
So
you
know,
I
I
think
that
there
is
an
opportunity
to
continue
the
dialogue,
but
I
think
council
did
the
right
thing
by
putting
something
in
place
to
make
sure
that
that
some
bad
areas
did
not
get
worse.
Now
the
trick
is
working
with
people
who
are
doing
it.
The
right
way
to
strike
that
balance
that
you
were
talking
about,
try
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
so
that
everybody
can
do
do
their
business
without
without
creating
any
unnecessary
or
unburdensome
challenges
for
you.
But
there
have
to
be
limits.
B
I
mean
you
said
you
have
six.
There
are
some
people
that
have
10
15
20..
This
is
an
industry,
and
you
know
we.
We
see
all
the
time
GMA
fights
to
protect
us
from
build
to
rent
subdivisions
people
coming
in
building
whole
subdivisions
just
to
rent.
This
town
has
a
lot
of
rentals
because
we
got
soldiers
at
PCS.
Out
of
here
want
to
come
back,
so
they
hang
on
to
their
house
and
they
rent
it
out
for
a
while.
So
the
Airbnb
is
another
version
of
that
and
yeah
I
think
I.
B
H
Think
the
Caps
are
fine,
I
think
that
that
maybe
we
we've
become
too
restrictive
and
too
bureaucratic
on
the
renewals
of
the
certificate
of
occupancy,
because
Ryan
is
sitting
there
telling
us
that
he
doesn't
have
the
staff
to
follow
through
on
all
of
this
and
here's
business.
People
out
here
telling
us
that
it's
a
it's
a
burdensome
process.
Everybody
everybody
that
is
a
part
of
this
process
is
being
burdened
by
this
process,
and
so
I
think
us
at
this
table
need
to
listen
to
that
and
reconsider.
H
J
J
This
is
a
money-making
business,
we're
talking
about,
and
you
know
anytime
you're
in
business,
there's
a
certain
essence
of
diligence
that
the
business
owner
has
to
do
and
it's
their
responsibility
matter
of
fact
across
the
board,
whether
it's
applications,
whether
it's
renewals,
whether
it's
license
or
all
those
things,
come
into
compliance-
and
this
matter
you
know
coming
from
the
industry
I'm
in-
is
heavily
restricted.
This
is
a
piece.
This
is
a
cakewalk
compared
to
what
the
industry
I'm
involved
in
has
to
go
through
and
and
yet
it's
in
essence,
almost
similar.
J
We
only
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
what
what
I
was
hearing
was
a
lot
about
from
these
two
gentlemen,
too,
was
well.
The
one
thing
was
the
caps,
but
you
know
keep
in
mind.
This
has
been
a
concern
of
neighborhoods
for
a
while
this
whole
audience
was
full
of
people
that
were
concerned
about
that,
and
we
tried
to
created
in
such
a
way
that
it
works
on
on
both
sides.
J
Now
the
whole
city
you're
not
a
limited
to
doing
business
in
Columbus,
Georgia,
there's,
probably
still
what
85
percent
of
the
market
that
you
can
go
out
and
there's
no
requirements
at
all
and
and
people
were
really
concerned.
I
think
the
conversation
started
a
lot
because
of
the
lack
of
enforcement
that
we
were
not
enforcing.
J
I
heard
a
lot
of
the
conversation
right
here
that
talked
about
the
lack
of
enforcement
and
why
we
weren't
enforcing
whether
it's
number
of
occupants,
whether
it's
number
cars,
whether
it's
certificate
or
license
renewals
things
of
that
if
you're
in
business
there's
a
certain
instance
of
responsibility
of
diligence
that
you
have
to
take
on
yourself
and
make
sure
you're
doing
it.
I
I,
don't
remember,
but
maybe
three
or
four
things
that
we
talked
about
at
this
table.
I,
don't
know
why
it's
so
complicated,
but
there's
only
three
or
four
things
that
we
talked
about.
J
But
the
main
thing
this
body
said
is
that
they
were
concerned
about
the
lack
of
enforcement
and
I
mean
Ryan
that
basically
beat
you
up,
but
that's
what
was
being
said,
but
there
have
been
I
do
know
of
other
Str
owners
that
are
in
the
market,
doing
business.
That
they've
contributed
as
well,
I
think
and
some
input
about
how
to
go
about
this
as
well.
J
But
it
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
there
was
only
three
or
four
things
that
we
talked
about,
that
we
codified
a
little
bit
more
that
it's
not
to
me.
It's
not
burdensome,
it's
just
a
matter
of
compliance
and
if
you're
in
the
business
you
just
kind
of
it
would
be
easy
to
understand.
I,
don't
know
if
you
pass
out
these
sheets
when
they
go
to
get
their
annual
permits
or
whatever,
but
you've
got
to
regulate.
J
It's
got
to
be
regulated
somehow
some
way,
it's
not
just
open
season
and
a
free-for-all,
or
else
we're
going
to
this
bot.
This
council
chambers
is
going
to
be
repacked
with
concerned
residents
all
over
again
now.
I
may
not
hear
from
them,
but
I
know
some
other
council
members
are
going
to
hear
from
these
people
because
they
were
very
adamant
about
and
passionate
about,
the
concerns
and-
and
certainly
you
know,
there
needs
to
be
input
about
what
is
coming
to
my
neighborhood.
These
are
established
neighborhoods.
J
That
was
the
essence
of
the
talk,
and
if
this
is
coming
to
my
neighborhood
I
need
to
be
aware
of
it.
It's
not
that
we
don't
want
the
business
it's
just.
We
need
to
have
it
more
in
line
and
control,
or
else
it's
going
to
take
over
and
it
could
you
know
if
you
don't
have
any
perimeters
or
any
like
the
mayor,
said
balance
so
I,
don't
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
Ryan
but
didn't
we.
There
was
only
like
three
or
four
things.
It
was
yes,
really
talked
about
other
than
that.
J
It's
a
matter
of
like
the
gentleman
said.
It's
the
people
who
are
not
getting
license
or
they're
out
of
compliance
and
they're
not
doing
the
right
thing.
Those
are
the
people
that
the
enforcement
is.
Is
you
know,
I
mean
that's
the
ones
you're
going
with
yeah
I
mean
it
applies
to
them.
It
doesn't
apply
the
ones
that
are
doing
business
appropriately.
If
I
mean
you
shouldn't
have
any
issues
with
it.
In
other
words,
I
mean
I,
understand,
look,
you
know,
I
would
be
concerned
if
I
can't
continue
to
grow
my
business
in
certain
areas.
J
You
know
if
that
number
is
bothersome,
but
that's
that's
rightfully.
So
that's
one
side
of
the
story,
but
it's
not
the
the
other
side
of
the
story
and
unfortunately,
when
you're
working
in
neighborhoods
established
neighborhoods
you've
got
some
very
valid
concerns.
I
think
we
did
as
about
as
enough
as
we
could
do
to
try
to
protect
neighborhoods
and
helps
people
have
been
there
for
a
long
time
do
the
best
they
can.
J
But
you
know
the
value
is
in
the
property
itself
and
whether
it's
rented
out
short
term
long
term
I
think
you
would
probably
tie
that
more
to
an
occupancy
on
an
annual
basis,
but
there's
still
value
in
that
property
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
capture
whenever
you
make
that
decision,
but
that's
left
in
the
in
the
business
owner's
hands
to
do
that.
So
I,
don't
Cur!
You
know!
Well,
you
had
some
there's
only
was
there
only
about
four
things
that
we?
Yes,
the.
J
AA
Only
a
few
neighborhoods
yeah,
the
caps
in
the
historic
Districts
The
Neighbor
notification,
was
new.
Adding
the
sticker
to
the
front
door
was
new
and
then
defining
the
occupant
load
was
new,
so
the
previous
ordinance
told
my
staff
to
Define
an
occupant
load,
but
it
didn't
tell
us
how
to
do
it,
so
we
added
that
just
so.
It
was
consistent
across
the
board.
AA
The
ordinance
has
always
been
since
2018.
The
ordinance
has
always
required
an
annual
permit
for
my
department,
but
in
the
past,
that
portion
of
the
ordinance
was
not
enforced.
So
if
you
got
a
short-term
rental
permit
in
2018
and
we
use
certificate
of
occupancy
in
permit
kind
of
simultaneously,
but
really
it's
an
annual
permit
that
a
short-term
rental
permit
that
they
come
to
my
office
to
get
every
year.
AA
J
There
anything
else
that
was
added
I
think
it's
just
a
number
of
occupants
right
yep.
That
was
a
big
thing.
It
was
a
number
of
people
in
the
in
the
in
that.
Well,
the
house,
a
building
in
the
number
of
cars
I
mean
that
was
a
big
issue
there,
but
this
is
this
any
different
than
any
other
cities
that
are
out
there.
People
have
I.
AA
AA
J
C
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
just
wanted
to
remind
Council
when
we
heard
from
the
public.
Basically,
what
we
had
been
been
doing
was
allowing
a
business
to
locate
in
a
neighborhood
number
one
without
notification
to
the
neighbors
number
two,
without
having
a
public
hearing
without
having
rezoning
without
having
any
plans
from
that
organization
presented
a
city,
and
that
was
my
concern.
C
I
had
a
call
from
a
neighbor
now
gentleman
I
live
about
as
far
away
from
you
as
you
can
get
I'm
out
in
the
Panhandle
out
in
the
country,
but
yet
we
had
a
Airbnb
locate
there
and
the
the
the
fraternities
found
out
about
it
and
they
were
running
it
over
the
weekend,
and
so
this
is
all
of
a
sudden
A
disruption
to
a
neighborhood.
There's
a
private
drive
with
10
homes
on
it.
So
one
of
the
ten
homes
was
rented
out
for
parties.
C
Every
weekend
the
owner
had
moved
to
Maine
or
somewhere
up
in
the
Northeast,
so
there
was
out
of
town
ownership
that
kind
of
problematic
situation.
So
that's
one
thing
that
concerned
me:
you
guys
are
doing
it
the
right
way,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
going
on
here
that
we're
trying
to
get
our
arms
around.
So
it's
just
going
to
take
us
a
while
to
do
that.
So
I
would
beg
your
Indulgence
and
your
patience
with
that.
C
If
you
want
to
help
work
with
us
on
this
offer
some
ideas
we're
glad
to
help
to
talk
through
those
things.
But
again
when,
when
a
when
somebody
wants
to
open
a
business,
there
are
a
lot
of
things
they
have
to
go
through
to
do
that.
If
they're
going
to
rezone
the
property
and
all
that
a
lot
of
notifications
that
go
out
and
personally
I
feel
like
you
owe
it
to
your
neighbors
to
let
them
know
what
you're
fixing
to
do
now,
whether
or
not
we
notify
them
with
certified
mail.
C
That's
the
way
certified
mail
works.
Sometimes
people
sign
it.
Sometimes
they
don't.
But
if
you,
if
you
take
that
out,
then
the
people
that
are
doing
it
wrong
are
not
going
to
send
the
notices
out.
I
mean
they're
doing
it
wrong
to
begin
with
so
they're
they're.
All
like
the
mayor
said
everything's
put
in
place
because
of
the
Bad
actors.
I
mean
that's
why
you
have
speed
limits
and
you
put
up
stop
signs
and
those
kind
of
things
so
anyway,
I
appreciate
you
listening
I
I
thank
Mr
Ryan
for
the
report
that
he
gave
thanks.
C
I
So
the
I
mean
we've
been
talking
about
this
since
January
and
so
and
and
and
I
do
think.
Glenn
is
right,
I
think,
there's
I
think
a
lot
of
the
bad
players
in
the
neighborhood
are
kind
of
causing
the
issues
and
and
when
we
heard
from
the
residents
whether
it
was
your
Airbnb
owner
or
you're
a
resident
in
the
neighborhood,
it
was
really
the
unlicensed
ones
that
were
causing
the
majority
of
the
issues,
and
so
I
I
don't
know.
I
I
guess
the
the
part
that
I'm
really
struggling
with
is
that
if
we
have
120
airbnbs
who
have
been
operating
illegally
and
I,
think
that
number
is
probably
about
the
same
since
January
31st,
when
we
I
guess
voted
changes
into
an
ordinance.
How
many
of
the
you
know
five
months
later?
How
how
many
of
the
airbnbs
of
those
120
are
still
operating
I
mean
have
we
have
we
shut
anybody
down
yet
so
no
I
mean
we
can
make
rules
till
we're
blue
in
the
face.
But
right
if
we're
not
gonna.
AA
So
their
only
violation
is
that
they
haven't
come,
got
the
permit,
and
so,
like
I,
said
we're
working
the
next
couple
weeks
to
get
those
letters
out
and
they'll
be
able
to
come
in
and
get
into
compliance.
So
you
know
my
recommendation
may
be
to
give
me
and
my
staff
60
90
days
and
I
can
bring
you
back
a
report
that
says
you
know
we
had
120.
You
know
now.
Hopefully
we're
way
under
that
and
working
towards
zero
I.
I
Mean
and
I
don't
and
I
don't
want
to
beat
you
up
to
I.
Just
you
know
I
just
we
put
the
moratorium
in
place
so
that
we
could
start
enforcing
the
caps,
and
so
you
so
are
we
just
are
not
enforced
in
the
Caps,
so
we
can
start
enforcing
the
the
ordinance.
So
are
we
starting
now
to
enforce
the
ordinance
and
then
so?
So
we
can
we.
We
can
say
that
we're
starting
today,
yeah.
M
AC
AC
AC
I
will
say
when
we
put
those
gates
up
at
Carver
Park
it
didn't
help
it.
It
really
cut
down
the
activity,
the
traffic
that
was
going
through
that
part
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
take
hours
down,
but
at
11
o'clock,
I'm
hoping
we
can
possibly
put
some
type
of
I
mean
I
hate
to
say
it,
but
a
gate
up
as
Shirley
B
is
gotten
extremely
bad.
E
AC
Good
down
there,
it's
not
good
at
all
I'm
gonna,
say
on
steamer
Road
area
period
as
far
as
you
know,
just
the
connect
but
on
in
the
park.
It's
definitely
not
good
and
that's
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
use
those
I
guess
like
tag
readers
and
stuff
like
that,
that's
within
embedded
in
the
park
that
way
we
can
catch
those
individuals,
because
you
can
pick
up
it's
fuzzy.
E
It's
not
and
I'll
ship.
If
there's
I
know
in
some
cases
you
can
put
a
booster
on
to
boost
your
internet,
so
I
I'll
check
with
I.T
or
someone
to
see
if
that's
possible,
yeah
down
in
Charlotte
I
know
when
I
go
down
there,
it
depends
on
where
you
are,
and
so
it's
spotty,
but
we
can
check
on
the
booster.
AC
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Deputy
city
manager,
good
one,
but
what
I
notice
is
they
came.
It
was
like
11
30.
matter
of
fact
on
the
video
it
said
like
11,
37
and
I
mean
that's
all
they're
doing
is
recording
I
mean
they
tell
on
themselves
because
they
put
it
on
YouTube,
and
you
know
Instagram
and
all
these
things,
but
I'm
gonna,
say
deputy
city
manager,
goodwiness.
AC
But
it
is
it.
We
need
something
over
there,
whether
if
we
can
put
up
a
gate
on
that
air
in
that
area,
Okay
to
to
close
it
once
the
Park
closed,
because
I
think
it's
the
hours
11,
is
it
11
o'clock?
Is
it
11
p.m?
It's,
but
it
just
amazed
me
that
they
came.
It
was
like
11,
30
and
I
mean
they
had
alcohol.
They
had
everything,
it
was
I
mean
it
was
kind
of
like
they
was
doing,
throwing
a
party
or
something.
B
Good
and
to
let
you
know
too
there's
there's
I
mean
I,
know
we're
working
on
prevention,
but
we're
meeting
with
the
recorders
court
judge
and
talk
to
them
about
stiffer
sentences
for
kids,
because
it's
happening
all
over
Columbus
people
go
in
a
parking
lot
and
they'll.
They
send
something
out
online
and
they
just
show
up
and
that's.
AC
B
More
people
we
can,
if
we
can
put
them
stiffer
penalty
on
there,
maybe
license
suspension.
You
know
if
we
have
to
to
send
a
message,
because
we
got
to
do
something
to
get
it
under
control
and
there's.
If
we
had
5
000
police
on
the
street,
they
still
wouldn't
be
able
to
stop
because
they'd
go
where
they
are
so
we'll
we'll.
Let
you
know
how
that
goes.
Thank
you.
Councilor
Thomas.
G
Mr
city
manager,
I've
had
a
request
from
a
constituent
for
us
to
look
at
108,
8th,
Street
I,
believe
it's
a
business
caller
cat's
meow
or
something
like
that.
They
said
that
the
tree
looks
like
it's
on
city
property,
but
the
electrical
wires
are
going
through
that
tree
and
there's
a
concern
about
that.
So
would
you
have
somebody
take
a
look
at
that
and
see
if
there's
something
that
we
need
to
do
and
let
me
know
what
what
you
find
out
sure.
J
Davis
Mississippi
manager
just
as
a
referral
as
soon
as
possible,
and
if
it's
a
funding
matter,
just
just
let
me
know
but
I
think
there's
been
some
conversation.
We
talked
about
specifically
talking
about
maintenance
on
all
the
new
road
improvements.
The
roundabouts
throughout
the
throughout
the
city,
I
think
and
look
I'm,
gonna
I'm
gonna
sing
accolades
here
too,
because
anytime,
when
I've
made
requests
or
my
constituents
have
made
request
for
maintenance.
J
But
you
know
what
have
tends
to
happen.
Is
that
when,
when
we
go
out
and
we
can't
we
weed
eat,
we
do
all
that
stuff.
It
looks
great
for
about
two
days,
but
then
it's
almost
like
we're
reseeding
the
ground
with
weeds
and
the
Wings
come
back
twice
as
bad
and
then
three
times
as
bad
and
four
times
as
bad
and
then
there's
a
point
of
no
return
and
then
there's
no
way
that
our
people
can
handle
it.
J
I
know:
there's
been
some
conversation
with
the
gateways,
some
other
people,
I
I,
you
know,
I'm,
not
I
mean
I
can
make
recommendations.
But
what
is
the
ideal
solution?
I
just
know.
We
need
to
get
some
people
out
there
to
to
do
a
little
bit
more.
We
can
cut
the
grass,
but
we
need
to
get
some
people
to
do
a
little
bit
more
to
keep
them
where
they
need
to
be
because
they're
somewhat
we've.
J
You
know
and
I've
said
this
before:
we've
we've
announced
these
new
road
improvements
enhancements
as
great
for
our
community,
but
what
they
kind
of
what
what
I'm
seeing
is
they're
starting
to
turn
into
like
a
black
eye,
because
you
got
a
lot
of
traffic
going
around
there
and
they're
they're,
focusing
right
on
the
center
of
that
roundabout
and
they
see
all
this
and
then
it
just
you
know
they
they
kind
of
get
an
impression
of
the
of
the
city.
So
I
know
we've
got
I,
don't
know
how
many
we've
got.
J
I've
talked
to
some
other
counselors
and
they
feel
the
same
way.
So
it's
really
you
know
these
areas
that
we
need
to
really
try
to
get
ahead
of
and
maintain.
I
can't
tell
you
what
the
answer
is,
but
I'm
gonna
well
I'll
give
Solutions,
but
I'm
gonna
pass
that
on
again
as
a
referral,
because
I
think
that
we're
at
that
point
with
a
couple
of
these
roundabouts
that
we're
going
to
have
to
re-landscape
them.
J
You
know,
and
and
if
you
do,
that
it's
going
to
go
right
back
same
situation
unless
you
stay
on
top,
whether
it's
fertilizer
or
weed
control
and
those
kind
of
things,
and
we
may
have
to
let
a
private
sector
do
it,
but
I
think
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
back
to
your
attention
and
I've
tried
to
take
on
some
personal
responsibility
in
my
neighborhood.
That
is
not
working
and
I.
Just
you
know,
I
just
need
some.
You
know,
I
know
that
needs
something
we'll.
J
It
may
be
just
a
a
an
agreement
of
what
we're
going
to
do
and
then
maybe
a
contribution
to
them
to
cover
that
and
yeah.
You
know,
but
I
want
to
tell
you
we're
doing
a
good
job
on
going
out
and
cutting
the
grass
and
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
it
you
know
how
fast
it
comes
back
yeah.
You
know
it's
a
vicious
cycle
for
our
people
to
keep
doing
it
and
do
the
whole
city.
At
the
same
time,
yeah.
H
On
Manchester
Expressway,
if
right
right
across
from
the
mall,
you
know
in
between
the
mall
and
Burger
King,
you
know
where
the
bike
path
comes
through
there.
There
is
a
tree
Bush,
something
it
keeps
on
growing
back.
You
know
and
I'll
get
you
guys
to
to
cut
it
down
because
what's
happening,
is
anyone
turning
right
onto
University?
That
tree
gets
in
the
way
and
they
can't
see
bikes
on
that
bike
path
coming
into
that
intersection,
so
I
think
that
tree
just
needs
to
be
removed.
H
E
I
I'm
also
on
the
true
the
tree
Crusade
on,
there
is
several
low-hanging
trees
on
Second
Avenue
right
there
by
high
Side
Market
that
are
taking
out
some
box
trucks.
If
you're
in
the
the
far
right
hand,
lane
I
know
several
business
owners
have
taking
off
the
top
of
their
trucks.
So
it's
like
these
little
L-shaped
branches
that
are
growing
to
them,
the
sky,
but
while
I
was
thinking
about
it
and
we're
on
the
top
of
the
trees
might
be
something
to
look
at.
I
B
O
The
Sir
Mr
city
manager,
we
put
up
some
of
what
do
you
call
them
valleys
or
whatever
in
the
street
there,
on
Hilton
coming
out
from
the
hardware
side
before
you
get
to
CBS,
so
the
traffic
couldn't
cross
over
because
we
were
having
accidents.
Oh
yeah,
okay,
yeah!
Could
we
look
at
that
at
the
Saint
Mary's
road
with
the
gas
station
at
the
roundabout
there
to
force
them
through
the
roundabout,
because
they're
coming
across
to
try
to
go
up
across
traffic
and
we're
having
a
few
accidents
there?
O
B
All
right
well
as
a
reminder,
I
know,
we've
got
that's
a
couple
weeks
away.
We've
got
the
GOP
convention,
but
we
also
have
the
Miss
Georgia
competition
coming
in
same
weekend.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
busy
weekend.
All
right,
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn.
Second,
all
right,
all
in
favor
say
aye
we're
adjourned
Council.
