city
council.
B
We're
going
to
begin
this
meeting
as
we
begin
all
of
our
meetings,
and
that
is
by
asking
god's
presence
and
his
blessing
and
pastor
adrian
chester,
I
think,
is
going
to
bring
that.
I
don't
see
him
so
I'll
I'll
go
to
our
resident
preacher,
dr
isaiah
hugely
mr
city
manager.
Would
you
mind
opening
us
with
prayer?
Please,
sir?.
C
C
We
ask
for
your
guidance
and
direction
as
we
deliberate
this
morning,
touch
the
heart
and
minds
of
these,
your
elected
officials
that
they
will
work
in
the
best
interest
of
your
citizens,
206
922
citizens
of
this
city.
We
ask
that
you
guide
our
minds
our
thoughts
and
and
helping
the
father
just
continue
to
watch
over
us.
B
Thank
you,
council.
You
have
been
provided
the
minutes
from
the
october
26
meeting,
all
right,
there's
a
motion
from
the
mayor
pro
tem
to
receive
them,
and
I
think
I
heard
councilor
tucker
on
the
second
any
edits
or
questions
about
the
minutes.
Hearing
none!
If
you
were
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
No,
all
right,
they
are
approved,
I'm
going
to
go
off
script.
Just
just
a
quick
moment.
B
D
All
right
so
again,
my
name
is
lyla
young,
I'm
the
transition
coordinator
for
the
school
district
and
I'm
going
to
talk
quickly
because
we
only
have
two
minutes.
So
across
our
school
district
we
have
eight
transition
programs.
These
are
the
hardaway
hawks,
that's
helping
adults,
work,
know
and
succeed.
This
is
where
we
take
our
second
and
third
year
seniors
with
intellectual
disabilities.
We
take
them
out
into
the
community
and
we
teach
them
job
skills,
social
skills.
D
We
also
teach
them
independent
living
skills.
We
prepare
them
as
much
as
possible
for
independent
living
once
they
exit
high
school,
so
again,
eight
classes
across
the
district.
I
have
one
program
at
total
systems
where
they
go
and
attend
class
at
total
systems
and
to
go
out
on
the
floor
with
a
peer
mentor
and
they
learn
how
to
work.
D
This
is
vitally
important
to
our
community
because
we
have
a
lot
of
students
with
intellectually
who
are
intellectually
disabled
and
they
are
in
need
of
jobs
once
they
exit,
so
miss
julie,
fryer
thought
it
was
vitally
important
today
that
she
attend
and
our
students
attend
she's
teaching
them
not
only
about
the
voting
process,
but
she
pulled
up
each
one
of
their
houses
and
identified
their
city
council
members,
which
is
impressive.
We
have
not
had
another
teacher
in
our
district.
D
Do
that
yet
so
I'm
super
proud
of
her
and
then
she's
also
you
guys
are
talking
about
paul's.
Well,
that's
one
of
our
community-based
instruction
sites,
so
we
take
our
students
out
into
the
community
to
learn
how
to
work
amongst
their
peers,
their
non-disabled
peers.
So
it's
super
important
and
I'm
very,
very
proud
of
miss
julie,
fryer.
So
at
this
time
I'll
let
each
of
the
students
come
up
and
introduce
themselves
they're
going
to
say
their
name
and
what
school
they're
originally
from.
J
J
B
Well
lila:
this
is
this
is
a
treat
for
us.
We
appreciate
appreciate
y'all
visiting
with
us
this
morning.
These
are
truly
amazing
young
people,
and
I
urge
all
these
counselors,
who
they
now
know
they're
in
your
district,
to
get
to
know
them,
and
we
just
thank
you
so
much,
and
we
thank
the
teachers
too
for
pouring
into
these
young
people,
and
you
guys
have
had
a
an
extremely
difficult
year
in
which
to
continue
to
further
the
mission
that
you
have
taken
on,
and
we
cannot
thank
you
enough.
B
So,
on
behalf
of
the
entire
city,
we
want
to
say
thank
you
for
what
you
have
done
with
with
not
only
these
young
people,
but
the
people
in
our
schools
across
our
county.
D
B
And
lila,
I'm
going
to
have
I'm
going
to
have
my
assistant.
Send
you
the
contact
information
for
aaron,
who
is
in
our
hr
department,
because
we
have
a
mayor's
commission
on
persons
with
disabilities,
and
that
is
their
one
of
their
main
focuses
is
trying
to
put
together
young
people
and
any
individual
you're.
N
B
So
all
right
well
good!
Well,
I
won't
have
air
and
bother
you,
then,
but
I'll
still
bother
aaron,
but
we,
but
we
need
to.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
what
we
need
to
do
with
that
commission
to
help
you
all
achieve
what
you're
trying
to
achieve.
B
Thank
you,
council
for
indulging
me
the
next
next
thing
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
call
up
a
resolution.
We
we
had
our
warden
at
muscovy
county
prison
retire.
B
He
had
put
in
a
lot
of
hard
years
here
at
mcp
and
did
a
phenomenal
job
and
has
an
incredible
staff,
but
we
are
pleased
today.
I
am
pleased
today
to
bring
to
council
a
recommendation
and
a
resolution
appointing
mr
herbert
walker
as
the
new
warden
of
the
muscovy
county
prison.
I'm
going
to
ask
mr
walker
if
he
will
come
to
the
podium
with
his
with
his
family.
B
O
N
O
Excited,
I
know
my
family
I've
gotten
on
their
nerves.
All
week,
I've
youtube
muskogee
county
prison.
I've
looked
at
all
of
the
information.
O
I
went
back
to
city
council
meetings
from
years
and
years
and
years
back
and
just
giving
myself
familiar
with
the
area
and
I'm
just
exclaiming
to
the
the
council.
You
have
not
just
hired
a
warden,
I'm
asking
the
council
and
the
members
and
the
citizens
of
muskogee
county
to
accept
us,
adopt
us
into
your
community
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
110
percent.
I
promise
you
understand:
introduce
your
family,
okay,
my
wife,
patrice
walker,
my
18
year
old,
daughter,
yasmin,
walker
and,
of
course,
the
boss
of
the
family.
Here's
courtney
turn
around.
B
As
it
should
be,
yes,

we
are
delighted
that
you
are
joining
us.
We
look
forward
to
a
a
an
outstanding
working
relationship
and,
of
course,
as
we
have
seen,
particularly
during
this
pandemic,
mcp
is
a
vital,
vital
part
of
our
ability
to
deliver
services
to
our
citizens.
We
have
our
two
deputy
wardens
here
today,
deputy
warden
thomas
deputy
warden
king,
and
they
do
an
incredible
job.
They
have.
They
will
be
critical
to
your
success
and
we
look
forward
to
that
partnership
bearing
fruit.
L
Miss
the
attorney
yeah
and
then
officially
council
has
adopted
the
appointing
resolution.
Now,
clerk
davis
will
send
this
resolution
to
the
georgia
department
of
corrections
for
their
approval
and
their
files.
Also.
Thank
you,
sir.
B
Oh,
thank
you.
It's
it's
a
little
bit
different
process
going
through
the
department
of
corrections,
but
we're
we're
we're
excited
about
about
it
moving
through
there
and
making
this
completely
official.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
B
We
usually
give
a
little
update
on
on
covid
in
the
no.
The
news
very
briefly
continues
to
be
positive.
The
average
the
rolling
seven-day
average,
as
well
as
the
average
per
100
000
residents
over
two
weeks,
continues
to
improve.
B
We
have
less
than
50
people
in
our
hospitals
and,
and
we
continue
to
see
to
see
things
improve
on
behalf
of
the
city.
We
are
obviously
a
little
little
concern
and
we
continue
to
watch
the
numbers
as
we
head
into
the
holiday
season,
but
we
will
I
just
we
just
want
to
thank
the
residents
for
the
way
they
have
reacted
to
this
continuing
to
monitor
some
of
their
requirements
of
distancing
and
and
masking.
B
P
Good
morning,
mr
mayor
and
remember
city
council,
I
would
like
to
to
thank
you
all
for
the
important
roles
you
all
play
in
our
community,
representing
the
citizens
and
also
our
customers
at
columbus
waterworks.
I
know,
certainly
during
these
pandemic
times,
it's
been
very
challenging.
P
P
So
and
also
appreciate
your
time
for
allowing
us
a
little
bit
of
time
on
your
agenda
to
have
a
public
forum.
As
you
know,
our
board
board
of
water
commissioners
has
the
authority
to
to
set
water
rates.
We
had
a
meeting
with
them
october
18th
and
they
approved
us
coming
forward
into
the
public
comment
period.
P
They
are
a
organ
national
organization.
I
think
they
have
over
600
clients
in
the
municipal
and
water
and
wastewater
area
that
they
provide
financial
services
for
they're
very
experienced
they've
been
providing
our
rolling
financial
plan
for
about
20
years
now
started
in
20
in
2002,
and
I
think
joe
has
been
probably
with
him
helping
us
out
for
probably
12-14
years.
P
P
P
But
one
of
the
comment
that
I've
received
that
kind
of
puts
an
exclamation
mark
behind
these
awards
is.
I
was
giving
the
garrison
commander
a
tour
of
one
of
our
water
treatment
plants
and
he
said
that
often
soldiers
or
their
spouses
that
have
been
deployed
around
the
world
and
around
the
country
will
say
you
know
when
they
come
to
fort
benning.
P
They
come
to
columbus
georgia,
there's
just
something
unique:
there's
something
special
about
the
water
here
you
can
actually
drink
it
from
the
tap
and
it's
good
so
kudos
to
the
cww
team
and
what
we
take
for
granted
here
in
columbus,
that
we
have
good,
clean,
reliable
drinking
water.
So
it's
not
the
case
around
the
world
around
the
country.
So
that
is
a
high
compliment
to
our
team,
and
I
was
glad
to
hear
that.
P
So
the
2021
we
did
our
board
did
approve
a
rate
increase,
a
3.75
percent
rate
increase
and
because
of
covid
and
the
the
impact
it
was
potentially
having
on
our
customers,
we
did
delay
that
rate
increase,
which
generally
would
have
taken
effect
in
january.
We
delayed
it
till
april
and
it
we
lost
about
a
half
million
dollars
in
revenue.
As
a
result
of
that,
and
we
also
instituted
some
other
things
that
we
did
on
behalf
of
our
customers.
P
And
those
probably
cost
us
another
half
million
dollars
in
lost
revenue
and
fees,
but
thank
goodness,
we're
kind
of
past
the
worst
days
I
think
of
covet-
and
it's
nice
to
certainly
be
back
in
city
council
chambers,
as
opposed
to
a
cavernous
space.
So
hopefully
we'll
get
back
before
long
without
mask.
P
So
some
of
the
key
drivers-
and
these
are
kind
of
year
in
year
out
things
that
drive
our
cost
of
doing
business
and
that
is,
is
the
o
m
side
of
our
business
and
what
it
takes
in
terms
of
supplies.
Chemical
materials
labors
to
provide
clean,
safe,
reliable
drinking
water,
so
the
o
m
side
is,
is
always
a
cost
driver,
our
capital
side,
we're
very
capital.
P
Intensive
we've
got
water,
sewer
systems
spread
out
over
miles
and
miles
with
just
if
we
had
to
replace
all
of
our
assets
and
today's
dollars
it
may
cost
four
billion
dollars.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
infrastructure
and
keeping
that
infrastructure
in
good,
operable
condition
is
a
challenge
and
also
another
driver
is
regulatory
compliance,
we're
always
faced
with
new
things
that
are
coming
down:
the
pike
for
us
to
keep
our
water
and
wastewater
systems
better
and
better.
P
So
here
here's
a
pie
chart
that
shows
how
our
revenue
how
our
expenses
are
distributed.
You
can
see
the
the
dark
color
there
is
our
operating
cost,
which
represents
about
39
percent
of
our
expenses.
P
The
light
green
42
percent
goes
to
capital
renewal
and
replacement
the
yellow
six
percent,
that
is
just
financial
policies,
to
maintain
our
bond
covenants
and
coverages
and
things
of
that
nature
and
then
a
new
one.
That's
kind
of
popped
up
on
the
radar
screen
that
everybody's
familiar
with
is
these
supply
chain
issues
that
are
driving
cost
up
that
were
much
higher
than
we
had
anticipated
in
our
financial
planning.
P
And
some
of
those
supply
chain
issues
that
we're
experiencing
our
chlorine
costs
have
essentially
doped
doubled
and
we
that's
critical
for
our
water
treatment,
drinking
water
treatment,
our
ductal
iron
pipe
price
has
gone
up.
20
percent
the
polymers
we
use
to
improve
our
water
in
the
treatment
process.
It's
gone
up.
26
percent
energy
found
out
from
georgia
power
that
our
real-time
pricing
is
going
up
a
lot
because
natural
gas
price
has
gone
up
a
lot
and
so
their
fuel
costs
have
gone
up.
P
So
that's
an
added
cost,
that's
passing
to
us
and
there's
delicious
cascades
on
and
I'm
sure
you're
all
aware
of
that
in
your
individualized.
So
it
just
gets
magnified
when
you're
trying
to
run
a
business
and
have
bigger
costs
in
doing
so
on
our
capital
side,
we're
always
reinvesting
in
this
infrastructure
trying
to
stay
one
step
ahead
of
failure.
P
We
did
through
alex's
effort
and
our
engineering
team.
We
were
able
to
secure
a
chief
alone,
a
georgia,
environmental
facilities,
authority
loan
of
60
million
dollars
at
an
interest
rate
of
0.13
percent,
which
is
an
outstanding
interest
rate,
so
that
when
we
compare
that
to
what
a
bond
interest
rate
at
the
time
would
have
cost
us,
we've
saved
about
19
million
dollars
just
in
interest
fees
over
the
life
of
that
loan,
and
it
also
allowed
us
some
capacity
to
renew
infrastructure
on
kind
of
an
annual
basis
or
a
fee
basis.
P
P
So
ways
that
cww
tries
to
really
drive
our
cost
efficiency,
and
I
think
you'll
see
some
of
this,
maybe
come
through
in
some
of
what
joe
has
to
show
you
as
we
try
to
really
develop
and
improve
our
culture
around
cost
efficiency.
We're
always
asking
our
staff,
you
know.
Is
this
the
best
price
you
can
get
for
this?
Did
you
get
your
competitive
pricing?
P
Is
there
a
better,
more
efficient,
more
cost
effective
way
of
doing
this,
so
we're
always
driving
that
kind
of
mentality
down
into
the
culture
of
our
organization,
and
we
do
particularly
in
construction.
We
go
out
and
competitively
bid
construction
projects
to
make
sure
we
get
the
best
market
value,
and
that's
also
we
do
that
for
for
large
services,
take
competitive
pricing
and
we
also
use
qualified
consultants.
P
Another
way
that
we
drive
this
cost
efficiency
is
the
process
that
we've
been
using
for
decades,
and
that
is
a
five-year
facility
master
planning
process.
We
will
go
in
and
evaluate
all
our
assets
in
terms
of
their
condition,
their
capacity.
What
regulatory
changes
may
be
coming
our
way,
we'll
compile
all
of
that
into
projects
to
meet
whatever
those
obligations
may
be,
and
then
we
prior
to
prioritize
those
projects
and
then
incorporate
that
into
our
brake
model
analysis.
P
F
Can
you
bring
me
back
after
I'm?
I'm
gonna
see
what
this
individual
says,
because
my
question
is
and
I'll
just
give
it
to
you,
so
you
can
think
about
it.
Okay,
with
the
one
trillion
infrastructure
bill
that
was
just
passed
over
the
weekend,
there
are
55
billion
dollars
for
drinking
water
infrastructure.
F
P
So
we're
we're
optimistic
there
again
kudos
to
alex
for
for
what
she
has
done
in
that,
and
but
we
will
also
be
keeping
our
eye
on
the
other,
the
bill
that
may
be
coming
as
well.
So
thank
you.
F
It
was,
it
was
approved
this
weekend,
so
it
is
coming
55
billion
that
will
be
forgotten.
Q
What
counselor
tucker
is
talking
about
what
and
I
understand
the
structure
that
you're
doing
here
and
for
good
drinking
water,
but
our
citizens
don't
understand
that
all
they
care
is
what
they
see
on
that
bill
when
they
receive
it,
and
in
saying
that
when
we
were
in
gma
and
then
I
had
some
issues
but
I'll
go
back
in
my
suitcase,
which
I
haven't
finished
unpacking,
I
will
pull
it
out
and
there
was
a
vendor
there.
Q
Q
Your
number
and
what
I'll
do
is
get
that
to
you,
because,
as
if
we
increase-
and
we
understand
that
we
need
these
items
to
to
give
good
water
to
our
citizens,
our
citizens
doesn't
understand
this.
What
they
understand
is
their
bill.
What
they
understand
is,
oh,
my
god,
why
is
my
bill
so
high?
I
have
a
leak.
Nobody
can
find
the
leak
unless
you
go
and
tear
up
all
the
concrete
and
all
so
if
there's
technology,
besides
the
technology
that
you're
bringing
to
us
today,
that
can
help
save
the
citizen
money.
Q
P
P
If
a
customer
has
a
higher
water
bill,
we
can
go
in
and
we
can
read
what
their
water
consumption
is
in
15
minute
intervals
and
we've
helped
a
lot
of
customers
with
this,
and
what
often
we
will
find
is
they
have
a
toilet
with
a
flapper?
That's
stuck
so
it's
amazing
how
much
water,
without
just
constantly
flowing
through
your
toilet,
how
much
more
your
water
bill
will
go
up.
Q
I
understand
what
you're
saying-
and
this
is
five
years
ago
that
you
you
said
you
had
to
implement
it,
but
this
is
a
new
technology
that
will
tell
you
exactly
where
the
leak
is,
so
the
customer
doesn't
have
to
go
and
go
to
the
extreme
of
cutting
all
over
their
concrete
trying
to
figure
out
where
it
could
leak.
Your.
Q
Leak
is
common,
I
mean
I
had
that
done.
I
called
in
and
gentlemen
came
very
nice
looked
around
and
showed
me
where
my
problem
was,
and
it
was
my
toilet,
but
there
are
leaks
that
people
are
having.
That
is
not
visual.
That
is
not
the
toilet.
It
is
something
you
know
more
in
depth,
because
a
lot
of
the
pipelines
in
the
homes
are
old.
We
still
have
homes
that
have
carper
yeah.
P
And
we
do,
we
also
have
advanced
technology
for
leak
for
buried
pipe
leak
detection.
This
is
a
sonar
system
that
we
can
listen
and
we
can
pinpoint
small
leaks
and
we've
done
that
in
numerous,
particularly
on
the
on
our
side.
You
know
we
have
leaks,
so
we
found
a
lot
of
those,
as
you
say,
without
having
to
dig
up
as
much
pavement
as
we
used
to
have
to
do
in
the
old
years
before
we
use
this
technology.
P
P
So
we're
using
we're
we're
very
much
in
tune
with
with
technology,
and
we've
got
a
couple
of
guys
on
our
team
that
are
participating
in
a
tag
group,
which
is
a
technology-based
group
that
other
utilities
participate
in
where
these,
where
this
organization
goes
around
the
world
and
looks
for
new
technologies
and
brings
them
back
and
then
this
tag
team
will
q
a
them
and
try
to
hone
that
technology
to
something
that
can
come
into
the
marketplace.
So
we
we
are
involved
in
implementation
of
new
technology.
P
Q
I
have
a
request.
I
don't
know
where
this
city,
the
deputy
city
manager,
you
can
write
this
request
now.
I
have
a
request
for
the
waterworks
to
come
back
and
give
us
a
presentation
on
that
equipment
so
that
the
citizens
understand,
because,
as
an
ordinary
person,
I
mean
I'm
not
rich.
Every
penny
counts
and
I
hear
award
winning,
and
I
see
all
this
really.
I
understand
it.
But
if
I
wasn't
in
this
position
it
would
have
meant
nothing
to
me.
It
would
be
like
they're
just
raising
the
money
because
they
want
to
pay
increase.
Q
That's
what
my
brain
would
be.
If
I
wasn't
in
this
position
and
understand
this,
so
it's
important
for
the
customer
and
our
citizens
to
understand
what
they're
getting
for
their
money.
If
there
are
programs
not
just
for
the
low
incomes
but
like
you're,
saying
now
that
we
do
have
this
in
place,
we
would
tell
them
of
the
leaks
so
that
the
citizens
know
and
feel
like
okay,
my
money's
well
being
spent
because
it's
protecting
me
not
only
but
what
I
consume,
but
what
I
pay
in
insta.
N
Q
And
my
reason
I
want
it
to
be
a
presentation
in
council,
it
could
be
in
a
work
session.
It
can
be
because
lots
of
citizens
watch
the
council
now
it
used
to
be
where
you
didn't,
but
now
people
are
more
engaged,
especially
the
way
the
economy
is,
and
our
constituents
might
call
us
and
tell
us.
Well
then,
we'll
be
educated
enough
to
say
this
program
exists
at
the
waterworks
that
can
help
you
with
that
leakage
or
with
that
problem.
Yeah.
Q
P
Q
That's
all
I
want
like
you
said
you
stood
there
today
and
said
you
have
a
way
to
tell
where
the
leak
is
well.
That's
what
I
want
you
to
bring
back.
I
don't
want
to
every
technology
you
do.
I
want
you
to
think
if
a
person
had
a
leak
in
their
home,
how
do
we
go
out
there
and
show
them
exactly
where
that
leak
is
before
anything
has
to
be
torn
up?
That's
all
I'm
asking
I'm
not
asking
the
whole
crew,
I'm
just
asking
I'm
a
citizen.
I
have
a
leak,
it's
not
my
toilet.
P
Walls
and
generally,
you
know,
we've
kind
of
gone
above
and
beyond
what
we
historically
have
done,
because,
typically,
what's
on,
the
customer
side
of
the
meter
has
been
the
customer
and
their
plumber's
responsibility.
But
with
this
technology
we
will
step
over
there
and
help
them
find
their
problem.
We
don't
fix
their
problem.
They'd
have
to
contact
a
plumber,
but
we
have
kind
of
gone
more
engaged
with
the
customer
on
their
side
of
the
meeting.
Q
R
Thank
you
steve
good
morning,
mr
mayor
and
city
council.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
be
here
today
again.
My
name
is:
is
joe
crea,
I'm
a
vice
president
with
ref
telus.
I've
worked
there
for
over
14
years
now,
as
steve
mentioned,
I've
worked
with
the
columbus
water
works
for,
for
I
think,
over
12
years,
I've
been
involved
in
in
the
financial
planning
and
rate
aspects.
R
R
I
believe
that
that
brings
is
some
perspective
in
terms
of
benchmarks
and
comparisons,
for
how
the
unique
situations
and
circumstances
for
all
of
our
clients
compare
to
those
of
their
peers,
and
what
you're
looking
at
here
on
the
screen
is
one
of
those
comparisons
that
we
use
again
just
to
gauge
some
some
information-
and
this
is
a
comparison
of
a
typical
water
and
sewer
customer
bill
for
a
residential
customer
that
uses
3750
gallons
per
month,
which
is
a
fairly
typical
volume
of
consumption,
and
this
information
is
called
from
those
600
utilities
that
we
work
with
on
an
annual
basis
and
so
the
national
average
and
the
regional
average
for
the
southeast
kind
of
portion
of
the
u.s.
R
R
What
this
stems
from
is
that
again
we
collect
data
and
we've
worked
with
utilities
over
a
long
period
of
time.
Over
the
last
two
decades,
the
average
national
increase
in
water
and
sewer
rates
per
year
is
five
percent
columbus
water
works
average
over
that
time
is
closer
to
four
percent,
often
times
it's
been
less
than
the
four
percent
mark,
and
it
may
not
seem
like
a
big
difference,
but
when
you
kind
of
add
that
up
over
that
long
period
of
time,
it
does
manifest
into
the
real
savings
that
you're
seeing
there
on
the
screen.
R
For
2022
columbus
water
works
has
proposed
a
3.75
percent
rate
increase
that
allows
them
to
continue
to
provide
safe,
reliable
drinking
water
to
the
community.
This
would
be
effective
on
bills
rendered
after
january
1st,
and
we
can
see
there.
The
increase
that
most
customers
would
see
is
less
than
a
dollar
ninety
per
month.
We'll
explore
that
a
little
more
on
this
following
slide
as
well,
so
on
the
right
side
of
the
graph.
That
is
a
typical
bill
for
a
six
ccf
customer,
which
is
4500
gallons
per
month.
R
Nearly
70
percent
of
all
residential
bills
are
for
that
volume
or
less,
and
that
would
those
customers
would
receive
an
increase
of
1.89
under
this
proposed
rate
increase
for
customers
at
that
aforementioned
three
thousand,
seven
hundred
and
fifty
gallons
per
month.
The
forty
five
dollar
bill,
44.98
increases
by
a
dollar
sixty
eight
to
46.67.
So
still
you
know
20
about
below
the
regional
and
national
averages
with
the
increase
and
that
would
kind
of
encompass
over
half
of
the
customers
in
the
community.
R
But
columbus
waterworks
also
offers
a
low
income
credit
program
for
qualifying
customers
that
offers
an
8.50
reduction
on
a
bill
which
brings
that
typical
monthly
bill
down
to
just
under
34
dollars
per
month,
which
is
again
competitive
with
all
of
the
communities.
You
see
there
on
the
screen,
as
well
as
with
phoenix
city
now
I'll
pass
it
to
alex,
and
let
her
talk
more
about
the
customer
assistance
options.
S
S
As
joe
mentioned,
we
have
the
existing
low-income
credit
program
that
offers
an
eight
dollar
and
fifty
cents
monthly
credit.
We
also
have
payment
plans
that
are
available.
In
addition,
we
have
a
third
option
that
we're
excited
about
that.
We
like
to
talk
about
today
too,
that
we're
working
on
as
well
a
little
bit
about
the
low
income
credit
program.
S
We
also
here
at
columbus
waterworks,
understand
that
situations
can
happen
to
make
on-time
payments
difficult
for
your
bill.
If
this
is
the
case,
you
can
request
payment
arrangements.
You
can
do
this
by
calling
our
customer
service
representatives
or
by
also
emailing
us
at
customer
service
at
cwwga.org
during
covid.
We've
also
extended
the
payment
arrangements
and
work
with
our
customers
individually
to
ensure
if
they
are
making
those
payments
that
you
know
we
are
keeping
the
water
on
an
additional
program.
S
S
S
S
S
Again,
this
program
has
been
approved
by
the
state
payments
will
flow
actually
to
the
utility
providers,
not
the
individuals
and
so
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
finalizing
the
agreement,
our
agreement
with
the
state
to
ensure
that
we
can
meet
all
of
the
requirements
with
the
state
there's
a
lot
of
reporting
and
things
like
that
that
we're
going
to
have
to
ensure
that
we
can
provide
so
but
again,
but
we've
been
working
hard
to
make
sure
that
our
system
can
provide
that
information
and
then
there's
not
any
sort
of
hiccups
on
that.
Q
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation.
I
truly
appreciate
it.
I
have
a
question
for
you.
The
customer
assistant
option
the
existing
low-income
credit
program,
it's
8.50
monthly.
Is
that
the
cost
right
now
or
is
that
with
the
increase.
Q
S
T
T
It's
along
the
lines
of
what
councilor
tucker
was
talking
about
a
minute
ago.
If
the
waterworks
is
able
to.
I
was
reading
through
some
of
your
documents
about
not
really
acquiring
a
lot
of
funds
from
outside
sources,
whether
it's
federal
government
or
state,
but
if
the
water
works
is
able
to
secure
some
of
that
funding
coming
from
washington,
do
you
plan
to
credit
back
the
citizens
in
the
amount.
T
P
P
That
would
be
my
expectation,
but
certainly
we
could
look
at
you
know.
That's
that's
the
reason
why
we
have
this
annual
financial
rolling
analysis
is
to
kind
of
look
at
our
cost
impacts
and
with
having
kind
of
a
wind
fall
like
that.
You
know
what
what
we
might
we
do
with
that
to
benefit
our
customers,
so
kind
of
all
options
will
be
discussed
if
and
when
we
get
that
through.
Our
next
rate,
analysis.
T
U
Thank
you,
while
you're
here
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
or
or
bring
to
your
attention
as
a
property
manager.
I
have
a
lot
of
tenants
that
will
you
know,
get
new
service
and
I
I
consistently
get.
You
know
concerns
from
them
that
it's
it's
difficult.
U
It's
kind
of
over,
I
I
get
them
talking
about
all
different
levels
of
it:
the
billing,
the
co
getting
in
contact,
it's
just
it's
kind
of
all
over
the
board,
and
so.
P
U
U
B
F
S
I
mean
I
hate
to
give
a
definitive
date
because,
like
I
said,
we
are
working
with
our
attorney
to
try
to
finalize
the
agreement
as
well
as
esp,
but
I
mean
the
hopes
is
honestly
esp
had
one
to
go
ahead
and
get
it
started
when
they
do
their
live
interviews
as
well,
which
already
has
started,
but
we've
got
to
make
sure
I
think
from
the
state
perspective,
they
needed
the
participation
of
the
utility
providers
again.
This
is
not
being
paid
to
the
individuals
who's
paying
the
bills.
S
S
We
had
to
make
sure
too,
because
there
is
a
lot
of
reports
and
things
like
that
that
we
have
to
provide
to
the
state,
and
so
we
had
to
make
accommodations
in
our
billing
system
to
make
sure
that
we
could
identify
those
payments
and
make
sure
that
we
could
do
the
reporting.
So
we've
had
to
make
some
changes
to
our
system,
which
you
know
I
mean
didn't
take
forever,
but
you
know
it
took
a
little
bit
of
time
and
effort
money
to
make
those
changes,
and
so
we
have
made
those
changes.
B
Thank
you,
council
yeah,
and
I
think
I
think
the
water
works
should
be
applauded
for
pursuing
that,
because
that's
a
great
program,
it's
going
to
benefit
a
lot
of
our
citizens.
Well,
don't
don't
appear
to
be
any
other
questions
steve
alex
joe,
thank
you
all
for
the
presentation
and
I'm
sure.
If
there
are
any
questions
down
the
road,
they
will
not
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
you.
P
B

Yes,
sir,
my
name's
austin
gibson,
I'm
a
lawyer
at
paige
scranton.
My
address
is
6166
patriot
court
here
in
columbus,
georgia,
and
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
burton
investments.
Llc
they
are
the
owner
of
the
property
located
at
2019,
warm
springs
road
and
there
that
property
is
actually
under
contract
to
be
sold
to
a
local
developer.
Mr
dear
and
moody
and
the
proposed
use
for
that
project
in
the
proposed
development
would
be
a
gas
station.
G
And
so,
as
you
can
see,
the
property
we're
talking
about
is
is
on
warm
springs.
Road
heading
towards
the
downtown
area
almost
directly
across
from
the
magnolia
manor
nursing
facility
and
the
property
is
0.88
acres.
So
a
little
less
than
an
acre
there
and
it's
currently
vacant
and
has
always
been
vacant
and
is
the
property
is
located
in
councillor
garrett's
district.
G
G
Although
the
property
is
currently
neighborhood
commercial
and
a
majority
of
the
of
the
parcels
around
that
property
are
naval,
neighborhood
commercial,
those
properties
were
formerly
under
the
former
zoning
ordinance,
they
were
all
c2
and,
of
course,
when
the,
when
the
zoning
ordinance
was
changed
back
in
2005
c2
for
the
most
part
became
neighborhood
commercial-
and
you
know
under
the
c2
zoning,
this
property
would
have
properly
been
used
as
a
gas
station,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
the
properties
that
are
currently
in
c
around
this
property
are
all
are
all
parcels
that
may
be.
G
You
know,
operating
under
a
general
commercial
use,
for
example,
two
doors
down
to
the
you
know
in
this
picture
to
the
right.
You
can
see
that
there's
a
small
building
where
the
streets
come
into
a
point
and
that
that
formerly
was
a
gas
station
for
several
years
and
it's
it's
vacant
now
it's
no
longer
in
business,
but
that
that
property
was
operated
under
the
nc
zoning.
Only
because
of
it
was
grandfathered
in
when
the
zoning
ordinance
changed
back
in
2005.
G
and
so
following
following
the
completion
of
warm
springs
road,
the
expansion
project
by
d.o.t-
it's
you
know
it's
now,
a
four-lane
major
highway
and
the
idea
being
that
it's
it's
a
new
artery
into
the
downtown
area.
And
so
it's
a
heavily
trafficked
area-
and
you
know
this
project
would
benefit
the
area
because
base
based
on
my
my
review
of
you,
know,
maps
and
driving
up
and
down
warm
springs.
G
I
don't
believe,
there's
a
gas
station
between
there's
a
gas
station
at
piedmont
hospital
and
then
there's
not
another
one
until
where
you
know
warm
springs,
road,
slash
tension,
boulevard,
intersects
with
reese
road.
So
that's
about
a
four
mile
four
mile
corridor
of
warm
springs
road
that
doesn't
have
a
gas
station
currently
and.
G
G
As
far
as
any
traffic
concerns,
we
don't
believe,
there's
going
to
be
any
major
traffic
impact
based
on
this
development.
Really
really
this
this
development
would
benefit
the
traffic.
That's
already
on
warm
springs
road,
because
it
would
give
folks
traveling
downtown
in
the
mornings
kind
of
an
easy
pull
in
get
gas
and
then
pull
right
back
out,
and
so
I
don't
believe,
there's
going
to
be
any
major
traffic
impact,
but
I
do
believe
that
it
would
you
know
the
traffic
that's
already
on
warm
springs
road.
G
It
would
benefit
that
as
far
as
public
facilities
go,
there's,
no
there's
no
adverse
or
material
impact
on
public
facilities
already
operating
in
the
area,
so
that
that
shouldn't
be
a
concern
and
then,
as
far
as
economic
impact,
you
know
in
the
in
the
development
of
the
project.
There'd
be
several
jobs
created,
and
you
know
purchases
made
for
construction
materials
and
things
like
that
and
then
as
well
at
project
completion,
there'd
be
a
few
permanent
positions.
G
You
know
paying
a
fair
salary
for
those
jobs,
as
well
as
sales
tax
revenue
from
folks
making
gas
purchases
and
making
purchases
at
the
convenience
store
itself,
and
so
this
is
just
an
architectural
rendering
of
the
project.
This,
as
you
can
see,
it's
got,
it's
got
a
nice,
brick
facade,
and
so
it
is
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
a
nice
upscale
gas
station.
If
it
does
end
up
getting
built,
and
so
the
project
as
mentioned
was
the
approval
was
not
recommended
by
pac,
but
it
was.
G
We
did
get
a
conditional
approval
from
the
planning
department
and
up
on
the
screen.
We've
got
three
conditions
that
we're
all
agreeable
with
the
first
being
hours
of
operation,
6
a.m,
to
11
p.m,
and
then
the
second
being
no
garbage
pick
up
or
deliveries
between
the
hours
of
7am
or
or
excuse
me
before
7am
or
after
5pm,
and
then
finally,
that
the
fuel
trucks
that
would
be
used
on
the
property
would
not
exceed
33
feet.
G
And
you
know
if
there
are
any
further
questions
about
fuel
the
fuel
trucks
and
turn
around,
and
things
like
that.
We
do
have
moon
meeks
here
with
us
today,
ryan
davis
and
so
he'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
guys
have
on
that
point,
but
just
in
summary,
we
believe
that
this
rezoning
request
and
the
application
before
you
today
is
is
consistent
with
the
direction
that
warm
springs.
G
Road
is
going
and
you
know
we've
taken
steps
and
we're
accepting
conditions
requested
by
the
planning
department
to
try
to
make
any
impact
of
this
project
as
minimal
as
possible,
and
we,
you
know,
we've
reached
out
to
several
different.
You
know
individuals
and
businesses
in
the
area
and
we
we've
garnered
some
support
from
you
know
several
folks
have
written
in
letters
in
support
of
the
project,
including
including
the
there's,
a
beauty
supply
store.
G
You
know
if
you're
face,
if
you're
facing
our
subject
property
it's
across
the
street
and
down
to
the
left
a
little
bit
kind
of
towards
hilton
avenue
and
they've
written
a
letter
in
support
of
the
project
and
then
as
well
as
we've
reached
out
with
magnolia
manor,
which
is
directly
across
the
street,
and
you
know
if
there
is
any
impact.
They'd
certainly
be
one
of
the
ones
to
fill
it
and
through
conversations
with
their
with
their
chief
executive
officer.
They've
said
they:
don't
they
don't
have
any
opposition
to
the
rezoning.
G
You
know
they.
He
indicated
that
you
know
based
on
it
being
a
four-lane
highway.
He
you
know,
he
understood
that
things
you
know
were
going
to
be
changing
and
developing
in
that
area,
so
they
did
not
have
any
opposition
to
to
the
rezoning
and
then
finally,
I'd
ask
that
you
also
consider
the
impact
that
the
denial
of
this
rezoning
would
have
on
a
burnt
investments.
G
Llc,
bert
investments
is
owned
by
david
humphries
who's
here
with
us
today
and
he
he
inherited
this
property
and
he's
you
know
on
and
on
over
the
last
several
years
he's
been
trying
to
sell
the
property,
or
you
know,
get
it
developed
in
some
other
way,
and
he
hasn't
had
any
luck
doing
that
because
you
know
any
potential
developer
has
always
wanted
to
get
that
gc
zoning
designation,
and
so
you
know,
I
would
anticipate
that.
G
You
know
if
the
property
couldn't
be
rezoned,
then
the
property
will
probably
just
continue
to
be
vacant
and
you
know
not
put
in
any
use
which
doesn't
necessarily
benefit
anyone,
and
so,
as
I
mentioned,
we've
got
several
folks
here
with
us
today,
david
humphries
who's,
the
owner
of
the
property,
mr
moody,
who
is
the
architect
on
the
excuse
me
who
is
the
developer
on
the
project
and
then
ryan
davis
for
moon
mix
is
here
as
well.
So
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
hope
between
all
of
us,
we
could
answer
those.
V
Thank
you,
mr
gibson
council.
Walter.
W
N
W
Stations
and
impact
property
values
I
kind
of
think
joel.
I
know
we
had
a
gas
station
that
did
not
pass,
but
part
of
the
conditions
was
to
have.
Basically,
the
police
would
have
access
to
the
camera
system,
and
I
know
you
already
have
limited
hours,
but
is
that
something
you
all
could
put
in
your
conditions
that
you
know,
because
this
would
come
back
in
two
weeks
that
that
would
be
addressed,
that
y'all
work
with
columbus,
columbus
police
and
maybe
some
sort
of
security
concerns
with
the
property
owners
are
adjacent
to
it.
G
G
So
the
question
was
whether
or
not
we'd
be
okay,
with
allowing
the
city
of
columbus
police
department
to
to
have
access
to
our
cameras
to
help
monitor
and
make
sure
there's
nothing.
G
W
If
necessary,
mr
mayor
I'd,
make
a
motion
to
add
the
the
presence
of
of
cameras
and
and
access
to
cpd
as
a
condition.
B
B
B
W
L
I
Good
morning
everybody
and
happy
tuesday,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
come
this
morning.
I
Bobby
rowe
established
roe
realty
company
in
the
mid
50s.
He
had
started
in
real
estate
with
my
dad
and
bobby
passed
away
in
the
fall
of
2013.,
and
I
served
as
an
interim
broker
for
several
months,
and
it
became
obvious
that
something
permanent,
more
permanent
needed
to
happen.
And
so
I
purchased
the
business
from
mrs
rowe.
I
I
I
Well,
anyway,
everybody's
got
these
pictures
and
I've
gotta,
I'm
not
gonna
belabor
the
point,
but
that
that's
a
picture.
The
first
picture
is
a
picture
of
roe
realty
company
second
picture
is
across
the
street
of
the
nursing
home.
I
The
next
picture
is
a
picture
of
dr
o's
practice
and
he
has
a
critic,
a
christian
medical
practice
and
if
you
don't
think
it's
a
christian
medical
practice
go
in
there
about
9
30
on
just
about
any
morning
and
his
patients
are
lined
up
and
they
hear
a
christian
message
message
and
I'm
not
talking
about
two
seconds
either.
He
preaches
so
and
he's
here
and
he
will
follow
me
and
he
he
is
opposed
this
rezoning
too.
I
There's
a
picture
from
the
top
of
it.
If
you're
coming
on
on
wall
street
road
west,
that's
the
picture
there
you
go,
you
got
them
so
you're
coming
west,
you
don't
know
columbus,
that
great
or
maybe
you
maybe
you
just
you,
come
across
this
hill
and
you
can
see
the
slope
of
the
of
the
of
the
road.
You've
got
600
feet
to
this
property
on
your
left,
you're
in
the
right
lane.
I
I
But
I'd
like
to
I'm
not
going
to
spend
a
whole
lot
more
time.
I
promise,
but
I
would
like
to
pass
out
one
other
thing
if
I
could,
but
but
I
want
to
read
the
letter
because
I've
been,
I
was
asked
to
read
this
letter
and
the
letter
writer
is
melissa,
ryland
administrator
of
magnolia
manner,
assisted
living.
I
I
I
W
W
The
ceo
directly
reached
out
to
me
and
said
she
had
no
authority
to
write
that
letter
and
I
did
talk
to
she
did
talk
to
former
employees
and
the
other
gas
station
was
in
operation
before,
and
they
used
to
always
walk
to
get
breakfast,
but
they've
always
got
issues
with
memory
care
folks,
but
they
keep
them
on
lockdown
and
then
the
independent
living,
of
course
can
go
anywhere.
They
want
they
already
walk
down
to
cvs.
W
So
I
did
want
to
make
sure
because
the
email
was
sent
directly
to
me
from
mark
todd
that
is
known
that
he
said
there
was
no
implicit
or
implied
authority
for
her
to
express
that
opinion
because
they
already
had
the
gas
station
before
they
got
shut
down.
Okay,.
I
J
You
know
that
is
just
imagine
a
truck
coming
in
to
get
a
gas
or
even
their
tanker
coming
in
it's
going
to
be
amazing
that
place
my
practice.
You
know
we
don't
allow
people
to
smoke
in
the
vicinity
most
of
the
patients
when
they're
waiting.
They
go
to
the
front
of
that
place.
So
now
it's
going
to
be
a
convenient
place
for
them
to
go
to
that
gas
station
with
what
they
call
it,
and
it's
going
to
be
what
I
call
fire
hazard
and
the
proximity
of
the
people.
I
mean
some
people
are
waiting.
J
Children
out
there
moving
around
all
that
with
the
volume
of
traffic
that
that
place
will
invite.
We
are
talking
of
it
now
and
we
have
to
project
about
the
about
the
growth
of
that
place
and
then
having
one
gas
station
with
only
one
inlet,
an
outlet
and
with
even
the
previous
gas
station
that
was
next
to
it,
had
problems
and
he
had
roads
on
both
sides.
J
T
Yes,
miss
newman.
This
is
you're
dealing
with
a
four-lane
highway.
That's
got
a
universal
turning
lane
that
looks
like
in
the
middle.
X
We'll
look
at
that
when
they
submit
their
site
plan,
we'll
look
at
site
distances
and
turning
radiuses
and
potential
for
excel
desail
lanes.
That's
all
part
of
the
site
development
plan
review.
C
We
are
not
going
to
give
you
a
direct
answer.
We
need
to
look
at
what
they
submit
and
assess
it
and
go
through
our
normal
process.
But
what
we
can
assure
you
of
is
that
our
staff
always
do
the
due
diligence.
They
do
the
review
and
there
are
written
responses
to
the
plans
that
are
submitted,
and
we
may
say
something
here
today
that
might
change,
and
so
until
we
get
that,
she
can't
give
you
the
details
of
the
response
standing
right
there
today.
C
T
The
question
I'm
asking
is
a
very
valid
question
and
I
need
help
and
assistance
in
understanding
how
that
aspect
of
this
is
going
to
work.
That
may
be
the
deciding
factor
in
my
boat,
but
I'm
not
going
to
sit
here
and
approve
a
matter
that
I
have
no
idea
of
how
this
is
going
to
be
handled.
Now,
we've
dealt
with
these
matters
in
the
past.
T
T
C
X
T
T
T
T
You
know
even
I'm
having
a
hard
time
figuring
this
one
out,
but
anyway
it
it
would
help
if
we
had
a
better
understanding
of
that.
Since
this
is
such
a
such
a
small
lot
normally
having.
T
If
you
had
two
entrances
and
exits,
which
I
don't
see
it
here,
that
would
be
a
different
story,
but
it
just
looks
like
confusion
to
me
from
that
standpoint,
but
anyway,
that's
just
my
opinion.
Thank
you.
Well,.
T
And
that
may
be
a
good
thing
to
do
with
city
manager,
because
when
you're
dealing
with
these
type
of
parcels,
yeah
that's
very
appropriate.
If
we
don't
have
a
policy
in
place
when
you
get
these
type
of
requests,
maybe
that
should
be
a
priority
to
understand
that
and
pack
should
evaluate
that
and
and
deliberate
on
that
as
well.
But
you
know
I'm
not
getting
an
answer
on
it
today
and
it's
just
it's
very
confusing.
Well
and.
C
And
and
you're
going
to
get
a
general
review
from
the
engineer
and
of
course
I
have
no
problem
with
the
process
changing,
but
the
developer.
The
builders
might
have
a
problem
with
that.
Changing
because
they're
spending
money
on
the
front
end
before
it
gets
the
pack
and
then
it
gets.
I
mean
before
it
gets
to
you.
C
Yes,
you
and
you
don't
approve
it
well,
they
spent
all
that
money,
and
so
I
you
know,
but
but
the
one
thing
that
the
assurance
that
you
have
as
the
elected
officials
is,
if
you
approve
a
re-zoning
or
a
for
something
such
as
this,
when
it
gets
to
our
engineering
department
and
for
playing
review.
C
I
know
that
you've
heard
builders
and
others
complain
about
the
length
the
time
and
they
make
notes
and
they
send
it
back
to
them
and
they
want
them
to
do
more
work.
And
then
the
guy
has
come
back
for
two
or
three
reviews:
that's
because
they
got
to
get
it
right
and
that's
because
they're
doing
their
job
the
engineers
once
it
gets
to
them
and
builders
and
developers
sometimes
don't
like
it.
And
I
know
you
hear
from
them
because
I
do
and
so
that's
just
a
process.
B
Well-
and
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
challenges
is,
this
is
sort
of
new
frontier,
because
it's
now
the
entire
entire
base
of
that
road
has
changed,
because
now
it's
four
lanes,
so
it's
going
to
lend
itself
to
more
commercial
development,
and
this
is
one
of
the
first
commercially
zoned
properties
along
that
corridor.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
is
that
correct.
Y
You're
referring
to
a
gc
zone,
property
gc,
yes,
sir.
The
only
thing
that
we
have
zoned
gc
since
the
udo
came
into
effect
in
2005
is
the
old
grocery
store
there
behind
cvs,
which
is
now
maybe
the
beauty
shop,
because
it
was
over
15
000
square
feet
and
nc
limits
you
to
5
000
square
feet
per
use.
B
C
And
and
miss
mayor,
if
if
they
are
once
if
it's
approved
here,
if
you
know
to
satisfy
our
engineering
department,
they
may
have
to
spend
on
a
lot
more
money
to
get
it
right
and
if
they
can't
spend
that
money
to
get
it
right
or
not
willing
to.
Because
we're
not
going
to
sign
off
on
the
plan
and
and
our
inspections
and
codes
are
not
going
to
allow
it
to
proceed
forward,
then
it
would
be
gc
and
could
be
used
for
something
else.
C
B
That's
sort
of
the
point
I
think
it
could
end
up
somewhere
else
got
a
few
other
counselors
that
are
in
queue.
Counselor
garrett,.
W
I'm
going
to
add
another
condition
based
on
dr
o's
concerns,
if
I
can
get
a
second
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
require
approval
as
part
of
the
conditions
by
trafficking
engineering
of
any
ingress
and
egress
of
any
final
plans
they
present,
and
that
will
obviously
we
know
this
road
being
four
lane
is
most
likely
going
to
be
lgc,
but
that
will
give
engineering.
W
The
final
word
on
whether
or
not
it's
approved
based
on
the
traffic
studies,
and
they
may
need
more
time
for
that,
but
the
property
does
make
sense
gc,
but
whether
or
not
it
can
function
as
a
gas
station.
That'll
be
the
question
that
way:
they'll
have
to
get
approval
of
ingress
and
egress
by
traffic
and
engineering.
B
L
B
There
is
a
motion
from
councillor
garrett
in
a
second
from
councillor,
woodson
any
discussion
to
them
regarding
the
motion.
Yes,
okay,
counselor.
T
Davis,
yes,
miss
newman
the,
so
the
city
manager
is
still
confusing,
but
look
over
the
years,
we've
learned
a
lot
veterans,
parkway
places
like
that
other
highways.
I
I
bet
anybody
in
here
can
name
a
particular
place
in
our
city,
that
you
know
they
sit
there
and
say
who
in
the
world
approved
that
driveway?
Why
is
that
there?
It
was
just
convoluted
and
that's
where
we're
at
we
tried
to
change
that.
We
tried
to
get
more
design,
oriented
and
more.
You
know,
development
friendly
from
whether
it's
traffic
or
usage
or
anything
like
that.
T
What
I
is
is
this:
what
I
hear
you
saying
that
today
we're
being
asked
to
approve
a
property
for
the
use
of
a
gas
station
gc,
but
does
the
engineer
have
the
ability
if
it
goes
to
her
department
and
she
can't
make
it
work
and
there's
going
to
be
a
safety
hazard?
Then
she
will
not
approve
the
use
of
the
request
today.
C
T
I
mean
as
long
as
I've
been
here,
I've
never
known
that
you
don't
get
those
calls.
No
I've
never
known
that
to
happen,
but
you
know
this
what
this
does
concern
me
and
it
would
really
help
to
understand
the
request
here,
a
little
bit
better.
If,
if
we
could
determine
that
because
I'm
going
to
tell
you,
the
d.o.t
is
not
going
to
allow
you
to
put
in
excel
decel
things,
that's
already
been
developed
in
that
area.
T
That's
going
to
be
some
major
issues
unless
I'm,
unless
I'm
reading
that
wrong
that
road
has
just
been
developed
and
planned
out-
and
I
mean
I
don't
see
them
approving
desales
and
excel
wins
or
even
allowing.
T
It's
just
a
matter
of
the
usage
here
and
and
the
the
constant
flow
of
traffic
which,
like
I
said,
I
mean
it's
very
confusing.
Well,.
C
That,
when
you
do
your
work
here,
the
the
real
work
just
get
started
after
that
they've
got
to
go
and
get
plans
approved
through
engineering
and
and
be
put
through
the
rigor
of
getting
it
right,
and
even
when
they
get
those
plans
approved,
then
they
got
to
look
ryan
pruitt
and
his
people
in
their
face,
because
they're
going
to
be
there
day
in
and
day
out,
you
know,
there's.
U
Thank
you,
I'm
curious,
can
maybe
you
can
answer
some
of
the
some
of
the
differences
between
the
zoning
of
nc,
neighborhood,
commercial
and
general
commercial,
that
they're
they're
asking
for.
Y
Enc
is
a
what
we
consider
a
true
neighborhood
commercial
neighborhood
size,
commercial
development
that
caters
primarily
to
a
neighborhood.
No
use
is
permitted
to
be
more
than
5
000
square
feet
and
the
uses
are
limited.
For
instance,
you
can
have
a
c-store
and
we've
got
some
lotto
stores
around
town
that
have
no
gas,
so
you
can
have
a
c-store
with
no
gas
and
then
general
commercial
is
our
full
commercial
designation.
That
allows
just
about
everything
you
can
imagine
commercially.
U
U
So
so,
although
the
road
has
been
created
with
four
lanes
and
divided
center,
we
it
could
still
stay
pretty
much
like
it
is
now
with
neighborhood,
commercial
and
smaller
businesses
along
that
corridor.
Right,
okay-
and
I
could
see
that
with
especially
since
we
have
an
apartment
complex
on
the
end
of
that
block,
and
then
we
have
the
nursing
home
across
the
street.
We
have
residential
and
then
we
do
have
those
neighborhoods
right
behind.
So
I
could
see
that
this
would
not
necessarily
become
general
commercial
corridor.
Y
Well
and
the
only
one,
I'm
sure
we've
got
some
older
ones,
but
the
only
one
that's
been
before
this
council
in
my
20
years
as
weems
road
next
to
williams.
Road
animal
hospital
was
an
old
bread
store
and
they
convert.
They
tried
to
convert
it
to
a
c-store,
got
it
re-zoned,
these
same
conditions
applied,
but
they
could
not
make
it
physically
happen.
In
the
end,
the
vet
bought
the
property
and
now
there's
a
new
williams
road
vet
on
both
lots.
So
that's
the
only
one
I
can
remember.
U
U
So
thank
you
for
that
clarification
I
mean.
Maybe
maybe
moons
moon
and
meeks
could
see
if
they
have
any
examples
of
them
them
drawing
or
how
I
mean
they
say
this
will
work
on,
but
I
just
I
don't
see
it.
U
B
B
Okay
and
that
was
seconded
by
councillor
woodson,
any
further
discussion
to
the
condition
being
added
counselor
allen
to
the
to
the
motion.
V
L
B
Right
motion
a
second
any
further
discussion,
any.
B
No
sir
counsel
to
the
motion:
not
the
public,
any
further
discussion
among
council
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye:
are
there
any
opposed
all
right?
That
condition
is
added.
Now,
sir,.
AA
Is
your
city
engineer
and
do
you
have
a
certificate
a
degree
in
engineering?
Okay?
Well,
it
seems
like
glenn
davis
is
coming
up
with
some
great
ideas
and
and
as
far
as
the
deceleration
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
when
you
came
up
here,
you
said
well,
you
hadn't
looked
at
the
site
and
I'm
thinking
it's
totally
unprepared.
AA
You
know
for
something
like
this,
especially
since
it's
been
out
there
for
two
weeks
and
everybody
should
know
that.
But
when
I
was
on
beautiful
road
with
a
terry's
floors,
there
adjacent
to
me
was
a
gas
station,
it
sold
their
beer
and
when
it
came
late
at
night,
they'd
be
drinking
breaking
bottles.
On
my
property
defecating
on
my
property
being
a
complete
nuisance,
it
was
like
god
help
me.
I
had
to
deal
with
that.
All
the
time
skip
and
it
was
not
a
fun
situation
and
also
going
to
ask
you.
AA
Y
AA
But
I
do
also
know
this
is
that
when
you
make
that
four
lanes
you
go
on
making
road
right
in
front
of
terry's
four
snell,
it
may
say
40.
I'd
like
to
have
a
policeman
sitting
there
in
my
lot,
because
they're
going
55
and
60
miles
an
hour
same
way
with
this
four
lane,
because
if
I'm
not
mistaken
where
mr
rowe
used
to
have
his
real
estate
agency,
it's
down,
it's
defilade
can't
see
it.
AA
So
if
you're
going
eastbound
you're
going
to
not
see
it
until
the
last
minute,
only
when
you're
going
westbound-
and
so
the
thing
is,
is
that
it's
it's
going
to
create
some
real
havoc.
As
far
as
you
know,
traffic
in
that
respect,
so
that's
all.
I've
got.
B
To
say
I
mean
just
to
be
clear
on
when
we
say
that
the
city
of
city
engineers,
not
taking
a
look
at
it.
That's
because
we
have
not
had
any
information
submitted
by
the
prospective
developer
and
the
reason
they
don't
do.
That
is
because
it
would
get
very
cost
prohibitive
for
any
developer,
trying
to
move
in
and
trying
to
do
some,
but.
B
N
AA
C
Ms
may,
if
I
may
yes,
I
think
you've
already
responded
to
mr
olson
and
I
explained
our
process
earlier
and
you
just
reiterated
how
that
process.
The
process
works
step
to
the
podium
for
a
second.
But
you
know
to
say
that
our
city
engineer
is
not
prepared.
After
I've
explained,
the
process
is
insulting
and
how
long
have
you
been
an
engineer.
C
X
C
X
N
B
J
Thank
you,
oh
thank
you
so
much
sir
yeah
I
just
want
to
if,
if
they
can
have
a
day
to
just
look
come
in
the
morning
and
look
at
the
my
parking
lot,
how
people
are
coming
in
and
out,
even
when
when
a
car
wants
to
come
out,
and
we
want
to
come
in
it's
a
big
problem,
in
fact,
because
of
the
wealth
because
of
the
width
of
in
and
out
not
to
talk
of
a
gas
station
that
we
are
going
to
occur
in
and
out
every
minute,
you
know
because
it's
we
have
a
what
they
call
it.
J
A
bus
stop
just
across
we've
got
bus
stops.
There
are
two
lanes
and
there's
a
backlog,
especially
during
the
a
high
season
when
there's
a
high
traffic
that
place
will
just
not
be
suitable
for
any
gas
station.
You
know
without
within
that
width
of
that.
That's
all
I
can
say.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you,
sir.
G
I
hope
I'm
not
speaking
out
out
of
order,
but
I
know
there
was
a
question
at
one
point
to
maybe
ask
moon
meeks
a
few
questions.
If
that
I
know
the
motion's
been
passed,
but
that's
still,
you
know
something
that
you
guys
want
some
feedback
on
he's
here
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
AB
AB
I
would
like
to
clarify
the
driveway
as
it's
configured
at
the
moment
is
an
existing
driveway,
full
width,
commercial
width,
driveway
that
was
put
in
place
when
the
road
was
widened,
so
presumably
the
city
and
the
d.o.t
had
some
input
on
where
that
driveway
was
configured
already,
and
I
would
like
to
also
add
that,
yes,
we
would
coordinate
with
donna
and
her
team
and
frequently
we
submit
to
them
and
they
come
back
and
they
say
no,
you
need
to
add
a
decel
lane,
it's
part
of
the
process.
AB
So
to
say
this
is
a
final
design.
Don
is
absolutely
right.
This
is
going
to
go
through
the
process
and
there's
a
good
chance.
We
might
end
up
having
to
add
a
taper
or
a
desalination.
I
I
don't
know
yet.
We
have
not
I'll
confess.
We
have
not
done
any
traffic
trip
generation
studies
on
this
yet,
but
that
will
probably
be
part
of
the
design
process
and
I
would
like
to
add,
given
where
the
driveway
is
and
again
it's
an
existing
full-width
commercial
driveway.
AB
One
of
the
frequent
arguments
we
have
with
the
engineering
department
is
we're
usually
trying
to
get
more
driveways
and
the
engineering
department
limits
us
on
a
number
of
driveways,
because
every
driveway
is
an
opportunity
for
an
accident.
So
I
would
also
like
to
add
you
could
double
the
width
of
this
property
and
I
do
not
think
that
would
make
it
more
likely.
You
would
have
an
additional
egress
from
the
site.
I
can't
see
any
scenario
where
you'd
have
more
than
one
or
that's
what
the
engineering
department
would
want.
B
V
You
mayor
pro
tim
allen.
That's
all
right!
Thank
you
mayor.
I
have
a
question
for
you
was
it
did
you
say,
ron,
bates,
ryan,
davis,
ryan,
davis,
davis,
I'm
sorry,
mr
davis,
just
for
the
record
you're
an
engineer
with
mood
mix
right.
Yes,
sir,
and
if
I
understood
what
you
just
said,
y'all
are
you
work?
The
engineering
process
for
your
client
is
in
phases.
V
V
AB
V
Yes,
sir
okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
The
the
other
question
I
had
mr
mayor.
This.
This
area
is
basically
neighborhood
commercial.
Now
this
would
be
one
of
the
first
general
commercial
zonings
in
the
area,
and
it
concerns
me
that
we're
kind
of
opening
the
door
here
with
a
convenience
store
and
while
convenience
stores
serve
a
good
purpose
in
the
city,
they
do
bring
some
attributes
that
are
not
very
pleasing
to
the
eye,
as
some
have
said
earlier
here
today.
N
V
Is
a
chance,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
percentage
is,
but
there's
a
chance
that
if
this
store
opens
it
may
not
make
it,
there's
one
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
blocks
over
that
it
didn't
make
it.
So
I
would
like
to
put
in
some
restrictions
regarding
the
the
uses
of
the
property,
so
under
general
commercial
there
is
a
wide
range
of
uses
and
to
protect
the
businesses
around.
I
appreciate
dr
o,
coming
in
and
mr
calhoun
and
others
who
have
expressed
interest
in
preserving
and
protecting
their
property.
V
B
U
V
U
U
V
Sea
store
is
not
going
to
work
there,
so
I
think
I'll
put
in
a
strip
joint,
so
I
think
I'll
put
in
a
massage
parlor,
so
any
other
use
that
you
may
think
some
people
think
those
that
I
mentioned
are
okay,
but.
V
Do
it's:
the
problem
is:
is
that
you
open
you,
leave
the
door
open
if
you
allow
all
those
uses
available
open
to
the
public,
then
mr
humphreys
could
go
market
his
property
anybody
else
he
wants
to.
If
this
that
this
client
backs
out
and-
and
we
have
basically
created
an
precedent
for
other
general
commercial
uses
in
that
area.
But
if
the
other
people
interested
in
buying
property
know
that
we're
going
to
limit
the
uses,
then
the
growth
it's
up
to
us,
control
the
growth
and
the
control
growth
process
works.
U
Okay,
so
clarification
since
they're
coming
to
us-
and
this
is
what
their
hopes
are-
is
to
put
a
convenience
store
and
a
gas
station
there,
and
if
that
doesn't
work,
then
there's
there's
nothing
else
that
can
go
there
right.
V
J
B
All
right,
council
tucker
is
this
to
the
motion.
F
My
one
issue
with
the
convenience
stores
and
the
gas
stations
is
that
we
have
so
many
that
pop
up
and
unfortunately,
a
lot
of
them
have
I'm
not
going
to
say
illegal
gambling,
but
you
know
the
little
machines
in
there,
but
I
am
going
to
research
and
actually
go
into
some
that
some
of
my
constituents
have
complained
about
on
beauty
vista
road.
But
that
is
my
concern.
If
we
like
pigeonhole
to
the
convenience
store,
how
can
we
deter
those
type
of
convenience
stores?
You
know
where
they
have
those
those
gaming?
F
It's
actually
becoming
a
a
problem,
definitely
in
district
four
and
I'm
sure
district
three
and
district,
seven
in
district
one,
but
we
we
have
a
problem
with
these
convenience
stores
and
honestly
we
really
need
to
figure
out
a
way.
It's
something
that
I
sent
to
the
city
attorney
back
in
april
about
them
having
those
illegal
gaming
in
those
convenience
stores.
So
you
know
I
don't
mind
yeah,
it's
like
a
mini
casino.
F
In
these.
These
convenience
stores-
it's
not
even
a
convenience,
store
no
more,
it's
just
people
going
in
there
and
gambling.
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we
as
counselors-
you
know,
address
that?
Yes,
we
want
a
convenience
store,
but
how
can
you
give
me
the
faith
that
you're
not
going
to
put
a
lottery
and
not
not
a
legal
lottery
but
an
illegal
gaming
systems
in
these
stores?
F
N
W
Like
to
amend
mayor
pro
tem's
motion
to
include
that
it
could
be
a
convenience
store
or
medical
office
or
other
office
use.
So
that
way,
if
one
of
the
owners
next
door
wanted
to
purchase
it
for
medical
purposes
or
for
their
parking
lot
or
something
like
that,
that
would
be
an
option,
and
that
way
we
would
at
least
have
some
sort
of
control
over
what
goes
in
next
door.
V
B
B
B
AC
I'm
sorry
thank
you,
I'm
david
humphries
and
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
be
here.
I
own
the
property.
Many
of
you
know
me:
I've
been
in
columbus
since
1971
associated
with
gen.
I
was
a
general
contractor
for
30
years.
Owned
properties
have
developed
properties.
AC
I
was
a
joint
venture
partner
on
this
project,
so
my
in
the
lobby
you'll
see
my
company's
name
on
a
plaque,
so
I'm
very
familiar
with
being
involved
in
development
of
projects
and
permitting
in
compliance
with
regulations,
and
I
support
proper
engineering
planning
and
compliance
with
all
wrecks.
So
I
have
no
problem
meeting
those
requirements
and
I
think
the
people
that
have
worked
with
me
will
tell
you
that
I
own
a
piece
of
property,
so
here
a
little
confused
on.
AC
I
think
the
engineer
can
address
this
more,
but
whether
it
be
a
convenience
store
or
a
dollar
general
or
a
medical
facility,
the
traffic
could
be
the
same
and
I
don't
think
the
delivery
requirements.
If
I
had
a
medical
building
there
and
I
could
support
a
truck
I
could
I
could
have
deliveries
made
across
the
road
because
I
don't
think
anything
in
the
ordinances
and
you
can
correct
me-
ryan-
dictate
how
you
receive
deliveries.
AC
I
think
the
only
thing
that
stated
in
the
engineering
codes
is
that
your
own
site
can
support
whatever
traffic
is
coming
in
and
that's
just
a
general
statement
so,
but
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself
it's
the
restrictions
on
the
property
I
would
like
to.
I
was
excited
about
the
widening
of
the
road.
I've
owned
this
piece
of
property
a
long
time,
so
I
knew
there
was
no
way
to
sell
it
during
the
widening,
but
once
the
widenings
completed
it
would
open
some
opportunities
for
additional
development
or
opportunity
to
sail
or
develop.
AC
T
T
Yeah,
I'm
just
going
to
make
a
point
one
more
time
what
you
are
doing
or
what
your
client
is
doing,
is
coming
here
to
ask
for
a
request
on
a
very
small
parcel
of
land,
with
limited
street
frontage
on
a
five-lane
just
developed
highway
with
a
universal
turning
lane
with
joint
adjacent
driveways
right
next
to
it.
You've
got
a
challenge
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
that
out,
because
I'm
not
going
to
prove
something.
AC
Understand
it
and
understand
this:
that
piece
of
property
I
owned
before
the
road
was
whitening.
I
had
no
input
in
where
that
d.o.t
driveway
was
placed
they
submitted
plans.
I
had
a
chance
to
review
reviewed
with
the
city
to
make
sure
the
infrastructure
is
in
place
for
sewer
water
for
develop
development
use,
but
I
did
not
dictate
where
that
driveway
goes
and
I
guess
the
driveway
would
meet
city
requirements.
If
not
the
city
put
it
in
well,
no.
T
AC
T
A
site
plan,
I
don't
think
excuse
me
what
you
got
is
a
site
plan
with
the
current
driveway,
but
we
don't
know
how
that's
going
to
change.
I
don't
know
how
that's
going
to
change
based
on
the
traffic
engineering's
input
and
based
on
the
dot
and
based
on
all
the
analysis
that
needs
to
take
place,
which
is
a
significant
amount
to
see
if
it's
even
going
to
work.
So
everything
we're
being,
I
guess
presented
with,
is
totally
subjective,
totally
subjective
until
we
know
and
I'm
trying
to
get
those
missing
pieces,
I'm
just
telling
you.
AC
AC
T
AB
T
AC
B
I
think
preliminarily
they've
looked
at
it
and
said
that
it
should
work,
but
but
they
can't
be,
they
can't
give
a
final
approval
on
it
until
they
get
all
the
engineering
work
done.
T
AC
AC
AC
A
there's,
a
truck,
turning
radius
study,
which
which
we
heard
at
the
pac
meeting,
that
the
main
concern
was
the
traffic
and
the
tractor
trailer
truck.
That
was
what
we
heard.
So
that's
what
we
addressed
so
that
that's
why
the
truck
study
was
done
for
the
turning
radius
and
you've
got
a
four-lane
road
with
a
turning
lane.
C
You
know,
I
don't
think,
we've
ever
received
a
plan
from
a
builder
or
developer,
who
didn't
think
it
would
work
when
they
submit
it.
They
submit
it
because
they
think
it
works
until
it
gets
to
our
engineers,
and
then
they
go
through
our
process.
So
they
can
say
it
works
all
they
want.
B
L
Let's,
let's
wrap
this
up,
anybody
else
in
the
audience
want
to
be
heard
that
hadn't
been
heard.
Okay,.
I
I
I
L
L
All
right
next
item
on
our
agenda
mayor
is
an
ordinance
rezoning
property
at
3294.
Confetti
blush
drive.
It's
going
from
a
planned
mix,
use
development
to
residential
estate,
residential
multifamily
residential
office
with
conditions
it's
a
woodruff
company
petition.
Councillor
woodson
has
a
question.
Q
Q
That
is
being
put
and
all
the
gambling
machines
that
are
in
the
convenience
stores.
We
need
to
get
some
guidance
from
you
sure,
on
how
we
address
that.
I
know
we
have
busy
schedules,
we
all
do,
but
I
need
you
to
contact
us
no
later
than
friday
with
a
date
for
us
to
meet
with
you.
Oh.
L
We
can
do
that.
Well,
let
me
let
me
say
this
before
we
meet.
The
police
department
is
real
familiar
with
the
gambling
device
rules
and
they
anytime,
you
call
them
they'll,
go
check
it
out
if
there's
a
complaint
and
of
course
the
other
thing,
the
signage
would
be
controlled
by
building
inspectors.
So,
but
we'll
be
glad
to
talk
about
it.
N
Q
Q
N
Q
That
convenience
stores
are
using,
they
do
have
the
gambling
machines
in
it
and
when
we
talked
about
having
a
resort
casino
in
columbus,
everybody
gets
a
war.
But
yet
we
have
them
already
matter
of
fact:
a
lottery
store
just
opened
up
on
victory
drive
where
the
old
marina
was
and.
L
Q
L
B
Friday,
we'll
we'll
try
to
have
it
by
friday,
keep
in
mind
thursday.
Our
staff
is,
is
off
so
we'll.
B
L
AD
AE
AD
AD
Oldham
is
the
only
real
pmud
in
columbus,
where
it
has
a
combination
of
office,
retail
town
homes,
apartments,
single
family,
where
it
has
all
the
components
when
we
rezoned
a
number
of
years
ago,
the
zoning
required
certain
densities,
where
we
were
allowed
to
do
so
much
commercial,
so
much
office
x,
number
of
homes
for
residential,
but
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
about
that
as
to
where
we
would
put
the
commercial
well,
if
you'll
show
that
I
think
y'all
probably
have
it
in
your
packets.
AD
The
area
that
we're
rezoning
is
approximately
145
acres
that
has
always
been
intended
to
be
residential.
The
commercial
has
always
been
designed
to
be
on
the
frontage
of
veterans,
but,
as
I
said,
there's
some
confusion
about
we
might
be
able
to
put
confu
might
be
able
to
put
commercial
back
in
some
of
those
areas
that
we
intended
to
do
residential
and
we're
just
trying
to
clear
that
up.
AD
AF
AD
Of
that
is
what
we're
rezoning,
we're
not
touching.
What's
already
been
developed
already
in
place,
we're
still
doing
exactly
the
same
amount
of
green
space
that
was
designed
in
the
beginning,
we'll
have
fewer
residential
units
by
110,
but
the
whole
concept
of
old
town
is
not
changing.
We're
just
really
defining
what
can
be
in
that
area.
That
was
always
designated
to
be
some
form
of
residential
use.
B
AD
Okay,
actually,
the
topography
will
determine
that
because
we
we've
put
more
smaller
lots
in
and
what's
been
developed.
Already.
Probably
can't
do
those
small
lots
again,
because
we
deal
with
a
lot
of
topography
and
a
lot
of
rock
there,
but
once
we
get
further
back
then
we'll
be
able
to
determine
the
size
of
those
lots.
But
there
would
be
no
more
than
what
we're
asking
for
today,
probably
less.
T
Davis,
yes,
ms
green,
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
to
meet
with
me
and
educating
me
on
this
request
that
you're
making
I'm
in
full
agreement
with
it,
and
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
so.
AD
B
L
L
L
Okay,
next
item
up
is
the
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
amending
and
restating
chapter
5
to
provide
for
an
animal
services,
division,
animal
services,
director
animal
enforcement
officers
through
a
contract
with
a
division
of
a
licensed
private,
non-profit
animal
shelter.
We're
going
to
call
up
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin.
AG
Okay,
good
morning,
good
morning,
of
course,
there
are,
of
course,
the
ordinance
that
has
that
is
on
the
agenda,
and
then,
of
course
we
have
the
purchase
item
on
the
city
manager's
agenda,
and
we
want
to
before.
You
have
opportunity
to
vote
on
the
negotiation
of
this
contract
through
this
rfp.
We
want
to
provide
you
with
information
of
just
what's
included
in
the
in
the
rfp
and
in
the
contract,
so
that
you
can
make
that
informed
decision.
AG
C
V
U
Thank
you.
So
I
guess
if
this
feels
a
little
bit
different
than
the
normal,
when
we
go
through
the
rfp
process,
do
we
usually
ask
for
do
we
usually
ask
to
authorize
the
negotiations
for
a
contract.
C
C
Yes,
okay,
typically,
when
I
bring
an
rfp
to
you
on
my
on
the
purchase
agenda,
we
are
asking
you
to
authorize
negotiation.
U
V
V
L
I
don't
know
the
ordinance
needs
to
be
amended
if
the.
If
the
resolution
passes
the
negotiations
will
be
finalized
and
an
agreement
brought
back
to
you
at
a
later
date.
Yeah
I
mean
the
ordinance
amendment
that
is
number
five
on
our
agenda
is
a
housekeeping
measure
that
will
need
to
be
in
place.
Assuming
you
award
this
contract
to
a
private
provider.
V
L
AH
T
Well,
just
miss
city
manager,
if
you
would
just
for
the
public's
sake
the
you
know.
So,
there's
no
misunderstanding:
just
the
the
clarification
in
general,
what
we're
doing
on
the
first
reading
today
it
it
does
look
like
we're
moving
forward
with
approval,
but
that's
not
what
I'm
hearing.
So,
if
you
would
just
for
the
sake
of
system
watching,
could
you
explain
that
a
little
bit
more
in
detail.
C
C
It
would
allow
this
council
the
flexibility
of
going
with
an
outside
private
contract
for
animal
care
control
service
operations
or
you
could
opt
to
continue
to
operate
in
house,
and
so
I
don't
think
it's
a
proven
and
and
limiting
you
one
way
or
the
other
you
you
have
the
option.
C
C
So
you
have
the
options
option,
there's
that
flexibility,
and
so,
if
you
approve
that
and
we're
negotiating,
if
you
don't
approve
it,
there's
no
need
for
us
to
be
negotiating
with
a
private
contractor,
because
the
ordinance
does
not
allow
us
to
do
it.
So
so,
if
you
do
that,
you
have
the
best
of
both
worlds,
you
can,
or
you
don't
have
to
do
it
private
contract
and
so
what
we're
doing
in
negotiating
and
and
with
the
private
contractor.
C
Let
me
just
go
a
step
further
and
say
you
know
here
are
the
elements
of
what
we
are
negotiating:
animal
care
services,
animal
care
enforcement
services,
adoption
and
replacement.
Excuse
me
adoption
and
placement
services
revenue
how
that's
handled
property,
equipment
and
vehicles
because
we
own
the
animal
care
facility
personnel.
C
C
Veterinarian
services
owner
owner
notification
are
injured
animals,
how
that
will
be
handled
return
to
owner
services,
how
that's
going
to
be
handled
community
programs,
administrative
services,
emergency
management,
disaster
planning
required
records
and
reports,
and
then
hours
of
operations.
So
you
know
we
we
have
been
intentional,
as
we
have
already,
as
the
city
attorney
indicated,
had
some
ongoing
negotiation
and
we'll
continue
that
negotiation.
But
we
have
been
intentional
to
that.
C
For
our
sake,
because
you
know
we
may
have
to
still
hear
from
the
citizens
of
columbus
if
things
are
not
going
right
with
the
private
contract,
if
we
move
forward
with
it,
and
so
we
want
a
smooth
transition
and
we
want
animal
care
control
services
to
be
obviously
better
under
a
private
contract
than
it
has
been
under
the
government.
So
we
got
to
get
it
right,
and
so
that's
why
we
have
been
slow
and
intentional,
but
but
that's
what?
While
we
have
the
ordinance
as
I've
explained.
C
AG
Manager,
okay,
and
with
that
we
just
want
to
go
through,
let
you
know
kind
of
where
we
are
and,
of
course
you
have
seen
this
timeline
and,
of
course
today
would
be
the
november.
The
ninth,
where
council
approves
to
negotiate,
as
the
city
manager
has
indicated
the
final
terms
first
reading
again
with
the
ordinance
that
is
on
the
city
attorney's
agenda
second
reading
november,
the
16th
and
then
of
course
the
start
of
the
contract
would
be
after
the
first
of
the
year
as
we
continue
to
negotiate
during
this
time.
AG
The
background
and
the
reason,
we're
looking
in
terms
of
privatization,
is
again,
we've
indicated
seeking
proposals
from
these
qualified,
non-profit
shelters
to
opera
who
have
operated
for
a
minimum
of
five
years
in
muscogee
county.
AG
The
scope
of
the
contract
that
we
will
go
through
includes
the
lease
of
the
francis
k,
steed
animal
shelter.
Again,
our
code
of
ordinances.
As
amended,
we've
talked
about
operating
hours,
staffing,
the
current
staff
and
positions
use
of
vehicles,
animal
care
services,
which
is,
are
the
shelter
services
we're
looking
into
also
animal
control,
field
services,
administrative
services,
performance
standards,
financial
impact
on
the
francis
k,
seed,
animal
shelter,
the
least
terms
would
be
the
triple
net
lease
which
includes,
of
course,
all
stationary
equipment
in
the
existing
furniture
of
that
facility.
AG
That
includes
again,
the
length
of
the
lease
would
run
simultaneous
with
animal
services
contract
those
responsibilities.
The
city
will
continue
with
the
building
taking
care
of
the
roof
foundation
and
the
exterior
walls.
Everything
on
the
interior
of
the
facility,
such
as
plumbing
and
hvac
electrical
interior
structure,
vehicles
and
equipment,
is
the
responsibility
of
the
vendor.
AG
AG
AG
Our
animal
control
is
currently,
of
course,
as
you
know,
throughout
public
works
and
many
of
our
other
departments
are
experiencing
shortages
in
staffing.
But
again
those
positions
that
are
budgeted
in
the
animal
control
division
includes
the
division
manager,
a
part-time
veterinarian,
administrative
coordinator,
three
communication
technicians,
one
shelter,
supervisor,
two
shelter,
animal
control
officers,
one
volunteer
coordinator,
one
field
supervisor,
eight
field,
animal
controlled
officers
and
one
deceased
animal
control
officer
again
of
those
we
still
have
a
few
vacancies
within
the
department.
AG
AG
AG
In
terms
of
the
vehicles,
there
are
12
animal
control
trucks
vehicles
that
the
contractor
would
have
use
of
one
deceased
animal
truck
preventive
maintenance
on
these
vehicles
shall
be
maintained
by
the
contractor.
All
fuel
entire
needs
will
be
the
responsibility
of
the
awarded
contractor
again.
They
also
will
be
provided
the
animal
control
equipment
which,
of
course,
include
various
types
of
cages,
traps,
cat,
dens
and,
of
course,
crates
through
the
department
of
agriculture.
So
we
have
that
list
of
the
inventory
that
we
will
provide
to
them
shelter,
services.
AG
AG
They
will
also
be
expected
to
respond
to
any
and
all
calls
for
assistance
that
includes
capture,
trap,
receive
or
retrieve
stray
or
unwanted
animals,
unattended,
domestic
animals,
dogs,
cat
horses
and,
of
course,
animal
to
animal
aggression
calls
they
will
also
be
responsible
for
responding
to
animal
to
human
bites.
Wildlife
concerns
to
include
bats
snakes,
deer
opossums,
raccoons
and
the
light
respond
to
public
safety
requests
for
assistance,
deceased
animals,
collection
removal
and
disposal
and
prepare
reports
site
are
warned
according
to
the
ordinance
act
as
witness
prosecutor
in
classification
proceedings
and
court
again.
AG
These
are
all
things
that
we
currently
do,
that
they
will
have
total
responsibility
for
administrative
services
include
to
dispatch
all
calls
for
assistance,
management
of
the
animals,
registration
programs
and
tags
again.
Collection,
deposit
and
reporting
of
all
revenue
to
a
designated
city
account
management
of
all
records
pertaining
to
the
empowerment
adoption
placement
or
the
returning
to
owner
issues.
AG
Customer
service
by
assisting
the
public
with
any
of
the
services
manage
all
social
media
platforms
and
appropriate
response
to
open
requests.
Open
records
requests
within
the
allotted
three
days
in
terms
of
performance
standards.
They
have
to
have
and
meet
timely
response
to
requests
for
services,
appropriate
and
timely
monthly
shelter
reports,
implementation
and
improvements
of
all
public
programs.
AG
AG
The
city
will
begin
an
aggressive
education
program
to
the
public
on
what
to
expect
and
who
to
call
bottom
line
is
it
will
no
longer
be
the
responsibility
of
the
city
or
anything
relative
to
animal
care
and
control,
and
we
know
that
we've
got
to
get
that
word
out
to
the
public,
because,
even
though,
if
approved
you
know,
citizens
are
still
going
to
call
the
city.
AG
That's
who
they've
been
accustomed
to
calling
so
they'll
still
contact
the
city.
We
have
to
really
let
them
know
just
who
they
need
to
call.
When
those
calls
come
in
to
us
and
they
will
come
in
to
us,
we
will
all
we
will
do
is
transfer
those
to
that
approved
vendor.
They
are
responsible.
So
when
you
call
us,
you
have
a
constituent
that
has
called
you
we're
all
we're
going
to
do
is
to
transfer
that
call
to
the
appropriate
vendor
that
you
have
approved.
AG
City
will
be
out
of
that
business
totally,
and
so
we
definitely
want
to
ensure
that
during
this
transition
that
we
provide
them
everything
that
they
need,
but
there
are
still
some
issues
that
we've
got
to
to
negotiate
with
them.
Of
course,
financial
impact
cost
is
one
of
those
and
a
few
other
things
that
we're
still
working
out
terms
of
the
lease
and
some
other
things
right
now
we
don't
have
those
to
provide,
but
that's
part
of
the
negotiation
process,
and
I
just
any
questions-
and
I
am
with
my
pooch
pepper.
Q
Ms
goodwin,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
It
was
very
clearly.
I
just
have
one
question:
what
is
the
makeup
of
the
board?
Is
there
anyone
on
the
board
that
represents
public
service
with
voting,
because
I
think
it's
important
that
there's
someone
that
represents
us
and
our
concern
on
the
board
and
is
able
to
also
vote.
Can
you.
AG
J
S
J
Q
Q
B
Z
N
Z
AG
AG
Would
want
to
do
that
if
we
could
november
the
the
16th
or
or
december
the
7th
so.
C
7Th,
I
think,
it'd
be
certainly.
We've
got
two
meetings
in
december,
probably
one
of
those
yeah.
I
V
C
Because
it
may
be
one
of
the
deputy
assistant
directors
or
a
particular
person
who
is
responsible
for
watchdog
in
the
country.
But.
AG
J
AG
T
In
fact
manager,
I
you
know,
I'm
probably
going
to
ask
for
just
looking
through
this.
You
know
probably
ask
for
some
detailed
information,
probably
not
going
to
get
it
here
today,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
a
question
about
it.
I
kind
of
look
for
I
guess
a
word
picture
would
be
like,
let's
just
say,
like
buying
a
property
or
buying
a
house.
Okay,.
AE
T
Buying
a
service
here,
so
you
you're
looking
at
the
due
diligence.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know,
from
my
perspective
that
there's
a
few
steps
that
that
the
confidence
levels
are
there
and
then
that
you
know
that
those
check
offs
can
be
there
and
it
would
probably
most
likely
deal
with
the
oversight
aspect
of
making
sure
that
the
services
provided
are
being
done
not
only
in
a
timely
manner
but
being
provided
adequately
and
appropriately.
T
And
how
do
you?
How
do
you
have
that
oversight
there?
I
think
the
the
aspect
of
the
understanding
of
the
financial
standpoint
I
think,
on
both
sides
from
a
solvency
standpoint,
that
we
understand
that
these
services
can
be
provided
with
the
appropriate
funds
and
that
the
entity
can
and
will
be
there
to
continue
to
support
our
operations.
T
Sometimes
the
financial
statements
are
really
important
to
understand
when
it
comes
to
the
solvency
of
of
services.
T
I
I
I
would
also
just
like
to
well
let
me
just
stop
there
we'll.
Let
me
ask
this
question:
can
we
have
access
to
that
information,
so
we
can
make
a
very
for
the
sake
of
the
citizens.
I
mean
we
are
giving
up
a
service,
that's
been
part
of
the
city
for
a
long
time,
maybe
not
giving
it
up
we're
just
contracting
it
out
so
to
speak,
and
hopefully
we're
getting
a
better
service.
T
That's
going
to
be
provided,
as
you
stated
earlier,
I
mean
that
would
be
the
goal
and
intention,
but
in
order
to
assure
that
confidence
and
that
we're
making
a
good
decision
that
those
documents
can
be
provided-
and
I
would
ask
you,
do
we
just
come
to
you,
do
we
call
you
or
how
do
we?
If
we
have
those
questions
before
we
get
to
some
of
these
points
on
the
timeline?
How
do
we
get
that
information?
Well,.
C
C
Perhaps,
but
I
think
we
need
someone
who
is
going
to
be
the
ombudsman,
so
so
you
know
for
the
animal
care,
control,
contract
and
and-
and
I
would
like
to
see
written
in
that
contract
and
understanding
that
that
designee
or
ombudsman
is
going
is
required
to
do
monitoring
visits.
C
Where
you
know
when
I
started
my
career,
I
was
a
monitor
for
the
state
of
mississippi
and
where
you
actually
physically
go
on
site,
you
inspect
you
do
entrance
reviews
and
exit
reviews,
and
you
write
reports
and
you
bring
them
back
and
you
give
it
to
the
public
works
director
who's
going
to
give
it
to
the
deputy
city
manager
and
they'll,
pass
it
as
necessary
to
me
and
and
we'll
give
you
the
council
reports,
and
so
they
would
be
considered
what
I
consider
monitoring
visits
that
we
got
to
go
and
look
see
and
inspect
what
we
expect
and
turn
those
reports
in
and
and
so,
if
council
members
get
a
call
and
and
there's
a
citizen
who
has
an
issue,
you'll
know
who
that
I'm
buttsman,
that
person
is
and
and
we'll
refer,
that
to
them
to
go
and
respond
back,
and
so
that's
what
I'm
going
to
be
talking
to
the
deputy
city
manager
and
those
who
are
negotiating
the
contract
about
they
didn't
know
this.
C
I
just
came
up
with
this
today
sitting
here
in
the
seat,
but
that's
kind
of
what,
because
bottom
line
is,
if
I
mean
you're
going
to
get
the
calls
and
and
and
we
need
someone
at
the
city,
who's
responsible
for.
C
Keeping
the
check
on
it
and
responding
back
to
your
concerns,
our
concerns
and
they'll,
be
communicating
with
you,
they'll,
be
communicating
with
the
provider
and
and
and
during
those
monitoring
visits.
C
If
there
are
some
things
that
we're
concerned
about
we'll
point
them
out
and
and
and
and
typically
you
know
when
you
do
a
monitoring
visit
and
you
find
you
have
findings,
you
give
them
15
days
to
respond
to
those
findings,
and
I
would
not
expect
to
hear
from
that
ombudsman
until
they've
shared
the
findings
and
the
findings
have
been
resolved
and
then
they
send
them
forward
for
information.
T
Well,
and
that
would
that
would
get
to
you,
I
guess
my
my
point
was
the
assurance
level
of
you
know,
for
whatever
reason
you
know
things
are
just
not
working
out
in
the
relationship
that
that
we
would
have
oh
yeah
right.
Oh.
C
T
I
guess
some
of
the
areas
that
I
would
be
concerned
about.
I
don't
have
any
problem
with,
I
want
to
say
household
animals
or
domestic
animals,
dogs,
cats.
Things
like
that.
I
think
you
know.
I
feel
confident
that
those
matters
can
be
addressed.
I
would
think
that
from
the
citizens
perspective,
and-
and
that's
the
viewpoint
I'm
talking
about-
I
know
the
city
does
some
things
really
really
well,
for
example,
the
picking
up
the
dead
animals
around
around
town.
I
mean
I've
always
been
pretty
impressed
by
how
we
take
care
of
those
aspects.
T
There's
there's
an
amazing
amount
of
of
that
kind
of,
I
guess,
carnage
out
on
the
road
that
that
we
have
to
clean
up.
I
mean,
I,
don't
even
think
citizens
even
realize
from
that
standpoint,
but
I
think
the
city
does
that.
Well,
I
think,
with
the
wild
animals,
I
think,
with
enforcement.
T
Those
are
some
of
the
key
areas
that
I'm
looking
at
I'm
concerned
about
that,
how
those
say
in
enforcement,
how
those
relationships
with
the
general
public,
how
that's
going
to
take
place
and
that
they
can
be
confident
that
you
know
that
they
would
be
treated
with
with
respect
and
dignity
and
that
their
their
needs
are
their
needs
are
met.
You
know
I
I
know
how
the
city
can
handle
that
and
how
we
can
address
it.
T
But
if
we
contract
out
those
are
things
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
you
know
we're
checking
off
on
and
that
you
know
I
can
tell
the
citizens
that
hey,
you
can
have
100
confidence
that
you
know
these.
These
services
are
going
to
be
provided
and
be
provided
in
a
in
a
very
appropriate
manner.
C
Yeah,
I
I
think
you
can
and
and
and
they
should
know
that
if,
if
the
private
contractor
is
not
doing
that,
then
the
way
the
terms
are
written,
I
mean
the
agreement
is
a
an
initial
12-month
agreement
and
then
it
can
be
renewed
for
an
additional
nine,
12-month
periods
or
12
months
and
it's
contingent
upon
mutual
agreement.
So
if
it's
not
working,
then
you
know
we,
we
have
the
option
to
revert
back
to
city
operation.
T
And
the
final
concern
I
got
is
if
there's
needed
extra
facilities
or
new
facilities
or
things
of
that
nature,
will
the
city
be
in
partnership
from
that
standpoint,
to
help
and
assist
capital
replacement,
new
facilities?
Things
like
that
may
not
be
that
the
city's
responsible
for
operating
that,
but
certainly
be
able
to
provide
the
assistance.
There
is.
AG
Don't
know,
but
it
as
budget
allows
and,
of
course
the
that
information
would
then
go
to
public
works.
Who
would
then
submit
it
in
their
budget
for
approval,
because
it's
still
our
equipment,
but.
C
T
That's
a
good
I
like
that
word
partnership.
I
think
the
citizens
can
relate
to
that
yeah.
So,
okay,
thank
you.
Thanks.
B
As
you
can
tell,
as
you
start
talking
about
the
minutia,
it
really
gets,
I
mean
you
have
to
cover
every
eventuality,
that's
right
so
that
you
don't
have
any
issues
in
the
partnership
going
forward,
and
I
think
that
certainly
the
discussions
are
have
been
fruitful
from
what
I've
heard
and
trying
to
clarify
this,
and
but
I
got
to
tell
you,
I'm
extra,
I'm
I'm
very
optimistic
about
this.
I
think
that
the
I
think
the
respondents
have
have
allowed
they're
going
to
have
a
better
access
to
leveraging
volunteers.
B
I
think
the
city
did
there'll,
be
some
resources.
The
city
had
that
they
won't
have,
but
I
think,
on
balance,
it's
a
represents,
an
opportunity.
It's
just
going
to
be
important.
I
think
that
everybody
continue
to
remember
that
it
is
in
fact,
a
partnership.
That
means
the
communication
has
to
stay
open
and
I
think
that's
also
been
why
there's
been
some
frustration.
B
I've
heard
in
the
community
because
counselors
don't
talk
about
this
process,
that's
to
benefit
those
that
have
submitted
proposals,
because
if
council,
if
a
counselor
or
a
mayor
or
anybody
else,
has
any
communication
with
anybody
bidding
on
any
rfp
in
the
city,
it
could
legally
be
kicked
out,
and
so
we
were
trying
to
make
sure
that
that
doesn't
that
doesn't
happen.
C
So
so
mayor
and
council-
I
I
can
assure
you
we
want
this
to
work
if
we
contract
it
out
and
we
are
going
to
work
hard
every
day
to
make
sure
it
works
and
and
and
and
I
commit
that
I
want
it
to
be
a
partnership.
So
you
have
that
assurance.
C
AG
C
B
We
we
don't
have
a
quorum
at
this
particular
point,
so
we'll
need
to
get
some
of
the
counselors
back.
C
Mayor,
okay,
we'll
wait
until
my
agenda.
B
AA
Michael
king,
if
you
could
put
up
the
view
graph
up
that
I
had
on
the
slide
there,
okay
name
is
paul
olsen.
I
live
at
one
three.
Eight
three:
zero
jupiter
lane
good
morning
city
council
just
want
to
wish
veterans,
happy
veterans,
day
november
11th
this
thursday
mayor
henderson.
When
you
made
your
announcement
for
the
purchase
of
sonova
set
for
25
million,
it
was
a
late
friday
afternoon
after
the
time
for
anyone
who
could
speak
publicly
on
the
public
agenda
about
this
purchase.
AA
If
it's
three
o'clock,
the
deadline
for
anybody
to
put
themselves
on
the
agenda
is
at
noon
and
when
I
called
you
personally
and
asked
you
if
I
could
give
a
personal
point
of
privilege,
he
laughed
and
said.
No,
I
can't
do
that
paul
well
in
the
past.
I'm
sorry
but
julius
hunter
gave
me
a
personal
point
of
privilege
and
I
really
wanted
to
talk
about
it,
but
I
was
shut
down.
AA
Your
purchase
of
synovus
building
1148
broadway
can
be
found
on
loopnet,
which
is
up
on
the
screen,
but
the
building
was
built
in
1957,
making
it
14
years
older
than
the
government
center,
which
you
are
tearing
down
and
spending
another
25
million
dollars
in
renovation
costs.
What
we
have
not
been
explained
is
how
that
is
being
itemized.
AA
How
are
you
spending
the
25
million
and
you
guys
just
basically
rubber
stamped
that
the
reason
why
I
ask
that
is
because
there's
asbestos
was
put
in
to
walls
and
flooring
back
in
the
50s
and
60s,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
it's
being
spent
for
hazmat
in
that
respect.
There
never
got
an
answer
from
you
mayor
when
I
asked
that
mayor
henderson,
you
worked
at
cbnt,
so
noah
was
at
this
a
location.
In
fact,
I
went
to
go
visit
you
one
time
you
were
gone,
but
you
were
the
vice
president
of
governmental
affairs.
AA
AA
The
reason
why
I'm
asking
that,
if
you
did,
then
you
were
to
disclose
that,
according
to
the
city
charter,
when
it
came
to
that
because
it's
a
conflict
of
interest,
doug
jeffcoat
was
a
listing
agent
for
wc,
bradley
real
estate
for
the
sonofas
property,
and
when
I
asked
you
mayor
who's
our
buyer's
agent.
Mum
was
a
word
and
the
best
way
that
came
out
since
I
have
real
estate
licenses
charming.
You
know
what
a
dual
agent
is.
AA
A
dual
agent
is
serving
on
behalf
of
the
seller,
that's
where
his
loyalty
is
and
he's
also
working
on
behalf
of
the
buyer's
agent,
and
I
have
a
problem
with
that,
because
we
should
have
a
buyer's
agent
in
that
respect
there
on
most
real
estate
commissions.
For
that
it's
a
10,
that's
a
rule
of
thumb!
Charmaine.
You
know
that
so
of
that
25
million
dollar
sale,
wc
bradley
got
2.5
million
dollars.
I
asked
for
that
net
balance
sheet
from
the
city
attorneys.
AA
They
said
at
that
time
that
the
contract
is
still
pending
until
the
end
of
march.
They
put
some
things
on
there
now
we're
going
to
talk
about
according
to
the
muscogee
county
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
reiterate
on
25
million
dollars
dedicated
towards
renovating
nasa
nova's
building
on
broadway,
but
we
couldn't
dedicate
that
to
the
government
center
when
it
was
14
years
newer
and
the
problem
is,
there
was
nothing
structurally
wrong
with
the
government
center.
AA
At
eight
percent
of
the
registered
voters,
eleven
thousand
of
the
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
it
was
an
abomination.
It
was
brought.
It
was
bought
by
matt
swift,
who
was
basically
the
chairperson
of
of
improved
columbus
llc
and
basically
those
people
who
were
the
big
donors.
Were
the
people
who
basically
are
going
to
profit
off
of
this
thing
or
they
profited
off
tax
abatements
in
the
past?
AA
And
since
it's
a
public
record,
you
can
go
to
the
board
of
elections
website,
I'm
going
to
start
naming
names,
contributions
made
to
improve
columbus,
llc,
wc,
bradley
real
estate,
15
000.,
not
bad
for
a
two
and
a
half
million
dollar,
not
bad,
given
15
000
back
sonovas
was
there,
but
it
did
have
pac
pac,
which
is
political
action
committee.
If
you
look
at
it
so
and
you
look
at
the
tillman
act,
a
bank
cannot
give
a
contribution
to
any
campaign
unless
it's
through
a
political
action
committee,
and
that
was
not
denoted.
AA
John
turner,
that
was
five
thousand
dollars.
John
turner,
five
thousand
brad
turned
to
five
thousand.
Those
are
the
family
that
created
cbnt,
synovus,
okay,
chamber
of
commerce,
non-profit
51c3,
board
of
directors,
you're,
going
to
see
alexander
on
there
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
people
who
contributed
to
the
campaign
literally
themselves
and
they're
the
ones
that
gave
sixty
five
hundred
dollars
of
their
money,
steve
butler
ten
thousand
dollars,
woodruff
real
estate,
llc
five.
AA
Five:
five
thousand
racial
properties,
five
thousand
jba
capital,
five
thousand
lockwood,
ten
thousand
alexander
electric
fifteen
hundred
brassfield
and
gorey,
with
a
thousand
mats
with
a
thousand
and
the
real
travesty-
is
the
expenditures.
The
expenditures
of
sixty
four
thousand
was
all
spent
on
monroe
marketing
in
savannah
georgia.
So
that's
the
only
expenditures
they
had
and
so
the
the
thing
the.
B
AA
B
Got
it?
Thank
you,
sir.
We'll
move
on
to
next
is
miss
teresa
elamine,
representing
the
southern
anti-resident
racism
network
regarding
parent
summit
and
cure
violence,
columbus.
N
B
B
H
Oh
okay,
theresa
element,
3911
steam
mill
road.
I'm
glad
that
mr
garrett
is
here,
we've
been
concentrating
in
wilson
homes,
which
I
believe
is
in
your
district.
It's
an
interesting
district
with
a
lot
of
fluency
and
a
big
poverty
place
inside
of
your
district
and
it's
a
district
that
includes
a
place
where
people
have
been
murdered
and
I
say
children
murdered.
H
H
the
first
one
was
at
the
mildred,
terry
library,
and
we
have
used
the
libraries
traditionally
for
the
summits
over
these
eight
plus
years.
We
didn't
do
one
last
year
because
of
covet
and
the
library
has
not
opened
up
the
meeting
rooms
yet
so
we're
if
you're
coming
tomorrow.
Please
bring
your
checkbooks
because
the
doubletree
is
not
free
and
what
we
would
like
to
note.
H
We
attach
the
program
schedule
so
that
all
of
you
could
see-
and
I
would
just
like
to
say
we're
so
honored
that
the
mayor
is
taking
time
out
of
his
schedule
to
be
our
first
speaker,
and
I
wanted
you
to
have
a
copy
of
the
book
and
it's
just
such
a
joy
working
with
danita
gibson
lewis,
who
is
also
one
of
the
emcees,
and
we
will
have
a
little
time
after
you
and
the
superintendent
speak
for
a
little
q
a
so.
I
hope
you
can
be
there
at
least
for
the
first
hour.
H
H
H
H
Durham
says
that
they
want
a
system
change.
They
realize
it's
not
working
well
after
five
years,
and
I
can
tell
you
they
put
a
whole
lot
more
money
in
it
than
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
county
commission
chair
told
me
that
it's
difficult
working
with
men
who
are
working
with
other
men
who
have
spent
a
significant
amount
of
their
lives
in
cages
with
other
men
talking
them
down
from
the
violence,
is
just
a
small
piece
of
what
has
to
be
done.
H
We
have
got
to
get
parents,
it's
a
10-year
plan,
it's
a
10-year
plan.
So
I
want
you
to
come
out
for
the
parents
summit
and
we
need
to
continue
this
discussion
about
cure
violence.
I'm
opposed
to
it
because
I
know
it's
not
workable
in
the
way
that
it's
presented
men
talking
to
men,
it's
just
not
enough.
H
C
B
C
And
and
so
mayor,
I
do
want
to
commend
our
planning
department
for
this
planned
first
res
designation,
that
that
is
a
big
deal.
Next,
I've
got
expansion
of
an
existing
access
and
utility
easement
and
we're
asking
your
approval.
B
Motion
proof
from
councillor
tucker.
Second
from
mr
the
mayor
pro
tem,
any
discussion
all
right.
Please
cue!
It
counselors
cast
your
votes
all
right
and
that's
approved.
AA
B
Motion
approved
from
councillor
krabs
second
for
council
house,
any
discussion
all
right,
bruce
kewt,
please
vote.
B
B
Okay,
okay,
there's
substitute
motion
to
approve
all
the
grants
listed
items
four
through
seven
and
there,
and
there
is
a
second,
oh,
if
you
can
you
cue
that
we
need
to
take
it
we'll
just
take
a
voice.
All
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
is
there
anybody
opposed
all
right.
Please
walk
through
those
grants.
C
Sure
and
the
first
one
was
a
brown
field
assessment
grant
500
000,
there's
no
match
required
with
that,
and
that
is
to
conduct
brownfield
assessments
of
properties
within
the
southside
railroad
corridor,
areas
of
columbus
and
the
next
one
is
a
marathon
petroleum
foundation.
Rent
is
5000
and
the
grant
monies
will
be
used
to
purchase
specialized
equipment
to
assist
in
rescue
operations
at
their
the
facility
located
on
miller
road,
and
so
it's
for
fire
ems.
C
Obviously,
and
then
I've
got
a
firehouse,
a
sub
public
safety
grant
for
fire
ems,
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
dollars,
and
it's
for
the
purchase
of
an
inflatable,
boat
and
boat
motor
and
then
number
seven
was
a
water
resource
development
act
grant.
B
B
B
Multitude
of
motions
for
for
items
a
through
f
on
the
purchases
we'll
count,
one
of
them
as
a
second,
are
there
any
that
anybody
wants
pulled
for
further
discussion,
all
right
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye.
Is
there
anyone
opposed?
Are
we
okay?
I
didn't
know.
We
could
cue
that
one!
That's
fine!
B
C
That's
approved
so
mayor.
The
first
one
was
an
is
an
anchor
anchor
tenants
for
con
concession
and
retail
services
at
the
civic
center
and
they've
got
brewster's
real
ice
cream
as
in
location
e
within
the
civic
center,
but
the
contractor
will
pay
an
annual
lease
payment
for
the
exclusive
use
of
their
concession
location,
including
the
use
and
maintenance
of
existing
equipment,
but
that's
a
and
then
we've
got
13
20
22
ford,
f150
trucks
for
parts
and
rec
much
needed
equipment.
C
C
As
I
stated,
then,
we've
got
uninterruptible
power
supply
for
information
technology
rooms
at
the
citizen
citizen
service
center
we've
got
bus,
repair
services
for
metra,
those
are
the
purchases
and
mayor
mayor.
I've
got
two
more
updates,
you've
heard
from
the
animal
control
update,
and
so
I've
got
american
rescue
plans,
sales,
tax,
update
and
other
projects,
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge
with
han,
will
handle
those
and
then
we'll
have
a
monthly
finance
update
from
our
finance
director.
W
B
Okay,
so
all
right
motion
motion,
allow
council,
garrett
to
recuse
himself
and
a
second
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
it
did
pass
by
the
way.
N
N
B
M
So
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council,
I
have
just
several
updates
for
you
today.
First
to
start
off
with
the
american
rescue
plan,
and
I
won't
go
through
all
the
specifics
of
the
of
the
arp
we've
talked
about
this
for
several
months
now.
Just
a
reminder:
the
uses
of
the
funds
can
be
for
any
of
these
purposes:
public
health,
emergency,
essential
workers,
revenue
replacement
for
the
government
and
then
investment
in
the
water
sewer
and
broadband.
M
The
city
was
allocated
both
as
a
city
and
a
county
78
million
dollars.
We
have
received
the
first
allocation
of
39
million.
The
second
distribution
is
anticipated
to
be
next
june,
sometime,
the
funding
that
was
approved
by
council
for
specific
purposes.
Just
to
give
you
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
that
approval
and
those
particular
items,
the
automation
of
the
garbage
collection,
the
rfp
is
under
development.
M
The
authorization
for
the
ambulances
was
on
september,
the
14th.
We
expect
delivery
on
the
first
part
of
december
so
another
month
and
we'll
have
those
ambulances
in
muskogee
county.
The
community
safeguard
program
cure
violence,
the
summer
youth
programs,
as
well
as
the
cameras,
the
cameras
are
under
underway
right
now.
M
We
anticipate
having
an
update
to
council
sometime
in
december,
so
within
the
next
month
or
so
we'll
have
an
update
on
the
camera
purchases
for
councils,
consideration
broadband
cyber
security,
upgrades
of
three
million
dollars,
we've
already
encumbered
827
000,
and
that's
for
upgrades
to
the
csc
and
the
civic
center.
The
rfp
is
in
process
for
a
contractor
to
install
fiber.
Those
bids
are
due
back
november
10th,
so
that
should
be
coming
forward
to
council
within
the
next
month
or
so.
M
This
would
install
fiber
at
the
public
safety
building,
the
fire
stations
the
jail
and
then
other
facilities,
revenue,
recovery
of
3.5
million,
the
revenue,
recovery,
hotel,
motel
tax
revenue
recovery
at
2
million
and
seventy
six
thousand,
and
that
will
be
distributed
based
on
the
hotel,
motel
tax
distribution
between
those
specific
indices
and
then
the
general
fund
revenue
recovery
of
the
balance
of
one
million.
Eighty
two
thousand
premium
pay
for
public
safety
and
other
essential
workers
that
was
actually
paid
to
the
employees.
M
On
october,
the
15th,
the
small
business
grant
program,
nonprofit,
grant
program
and
economic
tourism
grant
program.
We
anticipate
having
that
application
released
on
december,
the
1st
so
we're
very
close
to
having
that
application
released,
so
we'll
be
providing
that
information
so
that
you
can
share
that
as
much
as
possible
to
get
the
applicants.
The
information.
B
Excuse
me,
deputy
city
manager,
councillor
woodson,.
Q
Yes
could
be
city
manager
hunt.
I
had
a
question
for
you.
Would
we
be
able
to
see
the
application
before
you
release
it?
On
december
1st?
The
reason
I
said
that
because
someone
asked
me,
is
that
going
to
be
like
really
complicated,
almost
like
an
rfp-
and
I
said
I
don't
know-
I
never
even
looked
at
one
before.
M
We
are
using
the
format
of
the
application
that
was
done
with
our
cdbg
cv
program,
so
we're
using
that
application
and
tailoring
it
to
this
particular
purpose,
so
they'll
be
required
to
provide
you
know
their
business
license
their
financial
information
invoices
cop,
you
know
proof
of
payment,
the
typical
things
that
would
require
to
make
any
kind
of
payment
to
an
entity.
Q
M
And
then
on
administration,
the
project
financial
analyst
is
currently
going
through
our
onboarding
process.
So
we
hope
to
have
that
person
on
board
within
the
next
several
weeks.
So
that
is
the
total
of
the
funding
for
the
39
million
and
we're
moving
forward
on
all
those
items
that
council
has
approved.
M
M
You
know
some
of
the
counties
are
still
in
their
planning
process.
Chatham
county
is
still
planning,
cobb
county
is
still
in
their
planning
process
and
hasn't
moved
forward
with
anything
specific.
M
First
responder
pay,
water
and
sewer
were
some
of
the
things
that
we
saw.
A
new
public
health
building
in
fayette
county
harris
county
to
install
glass
partitions,
hvac
replacement
in
their
courthouse
premium
pay.
We
saw
that
quite
often
from
other
counties,
water
and
sewer
lines,
water,
extensions
or
some
things
that
other
counties
are
doing.
Public
safety
premium
pay
again
hvac
units
in
stevens
county
and
some
of
these
counties
are
smaller
counties
than
muskogee,
obviously,
sewer
hvac
ventilation
improvements
in
whitfield,
so
this
was
information
that
was
provided
to
us
by
accg
and
just
thought.
M
We
would
share
that
with
you
at
this
time.
The
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
that
application
deadline
was
due
october
31st.
There
was
875
million
dollars
that
was
available
for
specific
purposes.
They
received
14.6
billion
dollars
in
request,
so
we
did
submit
applications
for
our
stormwater
infrastructure
broadband
infrastructure
and
also
to
expand
our
small
business
grant
program.
M
F
C
Yeah
I
forwarded.
C
Yeah,
well,
I
actually
the
finance
direct
I
signed
off
on
it
yesterday.
I
believe
the
application.
C
F
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure-
and
I
know
angelica
has
it
down
pat,
but
that
when
we
look
at
the
the
individuals
that
will
receive
the
grant
it's
more
than
just
the
law
enforcement
officers,
it's
like
ms
and
the
correctional
officers,
and
I
think
it
even
had
juvenile
officers
that
were
in
there.
But
it
was
a
more
than
just
you
know.
The
police
and
the
share.
C
All
year,
yes,
and
and
of
course,
we've
shared
with
all
of
the
public
safety
agencies
who
is
eligible
for
that
funding.
C
B
C
B
C
M
So,
on
the
special
purpose,
local
option
sales
tax
just
to
provide
an
update.
The
vote
obviously
was
last
week.
Excuse
me,
the
election
was
certified
yesterday,
so
sales
tax
collections
will
begin
april.
1St
of
22.
We
will
not
receive
our
first
deposit
until
the
end
of
may
for
april
collection.
So
we
are
several
months
away
from
any
type
of
collection,
but
it
will
start
april.
The
1st
there
was
400
million
dollars
in
projects.
M
What
was
also
authorized
with
200
million
in
general
obligation
bonds
to
be
issued
for
the
judicial
center,
and
then
all
other
projects
would
be
considered
pay
as
you
go
just
as
a
reminder.
These
are
the
projects
that
were
approved
on
the
ballot
last
week,
so
the
timeline
for
the
splost
financing
we're
in
bond
document
preparation
mode
for
this
particular
bond
issue.
The
credit
rating
agency
presentations
have
been
confirmed.
M
We
will
finalize
those
bond
documents,
the
first
of
the
year,
we're
anticipating
the
bond
closing
around
february
and
then
the
projected
first
bond
payment,
depending
on
how
the
bond
documents
or
the
bond
is
sized,
is
anticipated
for
january
of
23
to
allow
us
time
to
have
collections
since
april.
In
order
to
make
that
first
payment.
B
U
U
M
And
so
the
estimated
timeline
for
the
judicial
center
january
to
may
of
23
will
be
the
programming
and
the
design
may
of
23
is
the
projected
date
for
the
demolition
of
the
wings
and
the
parking
deck
in
order
for
construction
to
begin
in
may
of
23..
So
this
is
the
tentative
timeline
that
we're
looking
at
for
the
judicial
center
with
completion
in
may
of
25..
M
So
I
think
councilor
crabbe
asked
about
the
other
projects.
We
are
finalizing
that
project
budget
plan
for
those
pay.
As
you
go
projects
things
that
we
can
do
now
in
anticipation
of
the
collection
to
begin
is
to
start
developing
the
rfps
and
the
specification
for
design
services
for
specific
projects,
meaning
the
outdoor
pool
and
splash
pad
replacement.
M
The
bull,
creek
golf
course
clubhouse
replacement,
as
well
as
oxbow
golf
course,
renovations.
The
fire
stations,
four
six
and
eight
renovations,
the
fire
station,
five
replacement,
river
road
tower
replacement,
trade
center
parking
garage
and
the
civic
center
renovations.
We
can
start
developing
those
rfps
now
for
design
services.
There
are
things
that
will
have
to
take
place
that
will
take
some
time
into
fy
23
for
the
design
of
those,
so
that
will
be
part
of
the
program
budget.
M
All
most
of
the
other
projects
will
be
an
allocation
each
year
for
the
roads
for
storm
water,
improvements
for
public
safety
equipment
improvements
and
those
will
come
to.
You
will
have
a
budget
for
you
to
approve
for
that
10-year
period,
but
those
specific
purchases
will
come
to
you
as
part
of
the
annual
budget
process
each
year,
so
that
will
be
coming
soon.
C
C
Perhaps,
and
so
at
least
when
you
start
to
get
your
initial
collections,
you
can
start
doing
some
things,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear,
because
some
may
expect
to
be
swimming
in
new
pools
in
the
summer
of
2022
and
and
then
even
with
that
construction
takes
it.
You
know
just
it.
It
takes
yeah
time.
C
So
I
just
kind
of
want
to
pause
to
to
be
clear
about
that,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
interested
in
clubhouse
renovations.
You
know,
but
these
are
pay
as
you
go
and
we're
ready
to
get
it
done.
M
Just
to
provide
an
update
on
the
synovus
property
purchase
just
as
a
reminder.
This
is
249
000
square
feet,
3.59
acres,
634
space
parking
facility
and
it
is
four
structures
and
that
parking
facility
in
uptown
columbus.
The
general
terms
of
that
agreement,
25
million,
is
the
purchase
price
closing
date
no
later
than
march
1st
of
22..
M
M
M
We
are
preparing
all
the
bond
documents,
along
with
the
loss
documents,
we'll
have
two
bonds
at
the
same
time,
one
for
the
columbus
building
authority
and
one
general
obligation
bond,
but
we're
able
to
put
those
on
the
same
timeline.
So
that
does
save
us
money
to
have
those
on
the
same
timeline.
So
this
timeline
mirrors
what
you
saw
with
the
splash
bonds
in
order
to
have
the
bond
closing
in
february
and
closing
date.
No
later
than
march,
1st.
Q
Q
M
The
timeline
for
the
renovation
and
the
occupancy
of
the
synovus
building
is
in
direct
correlation
to
the
timeline
of
the
judicial
center.
Part
of
that
timeline
requires
that
offices
vacate
the
government
center
tower
in
order
for
the
individuals
and
the
wings
to
have
a
space
to
go
so
that
the
demolition
of
the
wings
and
the
parking
garage.
So
this
timeline
is
in
direct
correlation
to
the
timeline
for
the
judicial
center.
M
We
are
finalizing
the
space
study
working
with
our
consultants
to
determine
which
departments
will
go
where
in
the
sonova's
building
and
and
when
that
is
done,
they'll
begin
preparing
all
the
plans
so
that
the
renovation
can
occur
right
after
synovus
vacates
from
the
jordan,
the
bradley
and
the
uptown
center
in
august
of
22..
M
We
anticipate
that
to
take
about
till
20
february
of
23.
that
will
be
our
planned
occupancy
for
those
three
buildings
and
then
as
soon
as
they're
as
soon
as
they
vacate
the
main
office.
The
renovation
of
that
space
will
take
place
in
order
to
occupy
that
space
in
february
of
25.
M
And
just
a
brief
update
on
the
jail
assessment
master
plan
council
did
authorize
us
to
do
a
full
assessment
and
master
plan
of
the
jail
site.
The
tour
took
place
yesterday
with
our
consultants
to
look
at
all
aspects
of
the
jail
facility,
the
support
the
health
care,
the
mental
health,
the
housing
administrative
spaces.
M
They
will
be
also
reviewing
and
forecasting
jail,
sapping
and
the
inmate
data
to
look
at
the
current
organizational
structure
and
then
also
the
population
trends
for
inmates
in
order
to
prepare
a
master
plan
for
future
editions
and
development
at
the
jail
site.
They'll,
look
at
square
footage
and
improvements
and
develop
that
master
plan
diagram,
also
including
recorders
court
and
the
sheriff's
administration,
and
then
provide
us
a
report
and
a
cost
estimate,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
march
of
22..
M
U
AH
Z
M
AH
Councillor
huff,
yes,
I
had
a
constituent
that
called
you
and
me
yesterday
and
he
wanted
you
while
you
at
the
microphone
to
update.
As
far
as
the
construction
piece
between
shelby
and
levy
or
whatever
on
fort
benning
road
said
it
seems
to
be
no
activity
over
the
past
four
or
five
weeks.
M
And
I'll
let
director
pruitt
answer
that
question.
Mr
dean
did
contact
me
yesterday
and,
and
I
asked
director
pruitt
he's
the
project
manager
in
his
old
role
in
finishing
out
that
project.
AI
Yes,
so
on
fort
benning
road
there,
between
shelby
and
levy
there
was
a
utility
conflict
with
some
of
the
storm
drainage
at
that
little
shopping
center.
So
we
didn't
have
to
go
in
and
replace
a
lot
of
pipe
in
that
area
and
then,
in
addition,
there
was
a
elevation
bust
in
the
plans,
so
we
had
to
design
and
come
up
with
a
retaining
wall
to
put
between
the
trail
and
the
parking
lot.
AI
E
So
the
finance
update
some
of
you
you've
heard
some
of
this
information.
This
is
for
september.
We
are
actually
in
the
process
of
closing
out
the
month
of
october.
So
next
week's
council
meeting,
I
hope,
to
have
october's
report
to
you
all
as
well.
E
Had
it
not
been
for
that
one-time
revenue
source,
the
general
fund
for
fy
22
would
actually
be
up
about
12
percent.
The
same
holds
true
for
the
other
local
options:
sales
tax
fund,
as
reported
here
just
based
on
the
revenues
that
we've
received.
It
has
a
appearance
of
being
down
25.81
again
due
to
the
one-time
audit
monies,
excluding
those
one-time
audit
monies.
That
fund
would
actually
be
up
about
12
percent.
E
The
storm
water
sewer
fund
is
up.
86.28
percent
and
you'll
see
that
on
this
revenue
report,
as
we
sort
of
go
through
the
first
half
of
the
fiscal
year
here
I
mean
that's
due
to
the
revenues
being
mainly
from
property
tax
revenues.
Our
property
tax
first
installment
date
for
fy21,
was
actually
october.
15Th
this
year
was
october
1st,
which
is
our
normal
date,
so
we
received
those
collections
a
little
bit
sooner
this
year
than
we
did
last
year.
E
E
This
does
not
include
the
revenues.
The
waiver,
the
impact
of
the
fee
waiver,
will
actually
be
reported
in
the
next
report.
It's
showing
right
now
that
that
fund
is
down
from
a
revenue
standpoint
of
about
25
percent,
but
we're
still
working
to
close
out
october
and
again
that
that
number
will
be
finalized.
In
the
next
report
presented
to
council,
the
emergency
telephone
fund
is
down
1.41.
E
This
is
due
to
the
prepaid
wireless
surcharges
being
down
just
a
little
bit
for
september.
The
economic
development
authority
fund
has
a
114
percent
increase.
Again,
it
is
a
fund
that
is
primarily
supported
with
property
tax
revenue.
The
same
goes
for
the
debt
service
fund.
It's
up,
34.31
percent,
the
transportation
fund
up
46
and
a
half
percent.
E
It
also
receives
property
tax
revenue.
The
annual
budget
for
metra
the
transportation
fund
is
about
3.5
million
in
property
tax
revenue,
and
so
it's
receiving
some
of
those
benefits
as
well.
The
trade
center
fund
is
up
over
101.25
percent,
and
that
is
due
to
the
facility
being
able
to
host
more
events.
All
of
the
revenue
sources
that
is
related
to
their
events
are
up
compared
to
fy21.
E
E
E
The
civic
center
fund
is
up
587
percent,
and
that
is
that
extraordinary
increase
from
this
year
to
last
year
is
due
to
that
shuttered
venues
grant
that
they
received.
They
actually
are
anticipating.
E
We
are
anticipating
of
receiving
a
supplemental
grant
for
this
from
this
same
source
of
about
two
hundred
thousand,
so
we
we're
we
expect
to
receive
that
any
day
now
the
first
allocation
was
about
eight
hundred
thousand
that
we
received.
B
Hang
on
just
a
second
and
councillor
woodson.
Q
I'm
sorry,
but
I'm
ready
to
spend
some
money.
The
civic
center
on
that
grant
that
we're
getting
ready
to
to
use
well
we'll
be
using
that
to
do
some
repairs
at
the
civic
center,
because
I
know
when
the
air
conditioning
has
been
running
a
lot.
There's
dripping
water
in
the
ceilings
and-
and
that's
all
coming
looks
ugly.
E
Director
landers
and
I
have
had
some
conversations
about
some
of
the
improvements
that's
needed
to
the
facility.
This
particular
grant
is
very
specific
on
how
these
funds
could
be
utilized.
We
have
to
cover
utilities
payroll,
some
maintenance,
but
largely
payroll
and
utility
costs
is
the
justification
for
us
utilizing
these
particular
funds.
But
we
are
in
discussion
about
some
of
those
they
actually
had
meeting
yesterday
to
talk
about
some
of
those
items.
AF
Q
E
Ma'am
moving
down
the
snapshot
to
the
older
local
option,
sales,
tax,
public
tax
fund,
public
safety,
summary
revenues
that
we've
collected
to
date
is
about
5.1
million
expenditures.
As
far
as
our
current
obligations
at
about
9.1
million
for
the
infrastructure
side
of
the
house,
we've
reported
about
2.1,
almost
2.2
million
in
revenues
for
fy22,
with
about
1.9
million
in
expenditures.
E
So
if
you
move
to
the
left
side
of
the
snapshot,
you'll
see
the
general
fund
expenditures
there
by
department.
The
goal
at
this
particular
point
in
time
is
to
be
at
75
percent
or
better
I'm
the
first
highlighted
department.
Here
it
does
list
the
clerk
of
council
at
the
75
percent,
no
worries
there.
That's
due
to
an
annual
payment
for
the
munico
software
that
we
utilize
and
so
that'll
fizzle
out
as
we
go
further
on
throughout
the
fiscal
year.
E
The
city
attorney's
litigation
here,
67
percent,
the
information
technology
department.
Again,
we
have
several
software
lease
and
maintenance
agreements
that
are
due
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year,
try
to
structure
those
with
the
vendors
so
that
they're
not
due
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year,
but
sometimes
it
just
doesn't
work
out
that
way.
E
E
We
have
our
engineering
department
listed
here.
This
is
due
to
our
annual
payment
for
motorola
for
radio
maintenance.
That
is
a
contract.
That
payment
is
made
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year
again
one
of
those
things
we
expect
to
level
out
as
we
go
throughout
the
year.
The
jury
manager
is
listed
here.
That's
due
to
the
jury,
summon
subscription
fees
and
the
pedic
jury
fees,
the
courts
are
really
sort
of
kicking
back
up
and
so
we're
paying
out.
E
You
know,
obviously
the
jury
fees
that
we
have
to
pay
the
jurors
to
show
up
every
day,
and
then
there
is
the
monthly
maintenance
I
mean,
I'm
sorry,
the
monthly
contract
for
the
public
defender's
office,
that
contract
amount
is
paid
in
advance.
E
So,
and
that
is
an
item
that's
here
every
year,
but
no
worries
in
that
regard
for
the
public
defender's
office
as
it
relates
to
that
contract,
and
that,
in
a
nutshell,
is
the
finance
update.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sniffling
here,
but
I'm
my
nose
is
draining
and
it's
cold
I'll.
Take
any
questions,
though,
if
you
have
any.
U
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
grant
that
the
grants
that
the
civic
center
is
getting,
and
I
know
that
the
civic
center
there's
some
projects
on
the
splost.
U
So
is
it
possible
since,
since
this
is
pay
as
you
go,
could
we
use
those
grants
to
do
the
splost
repairs
and
then
with
the
grant
money
and
then
it
just?
U
U
E
We
have
it
it's
expenses,
not
necessarily
payroll
expenses,
utilities,
some
maintenance,
but
it's
largely
payroll
and
utilities.
N
C

we've
got

consolidated
government.
Let
me
thank
our
military
veterans,
including
those
that
are
on
on
our
city
council.
B
This.
This
city
would
not
thrive
as
it
does
without
the
presence,
leadership,
economic
impact
and
contributions
of
people
who
have
left
the
military
and
who
are
currently
serving
in
the
military,
so
columbus
above
many
other
cities
owes
the
owes
these
veterans
a
special.
Thank
you.
So
please
know
that
we
are
grateful
