B
And
welcome
to
the
March
26th
City
Council
meeting
we're
going
to
begin
as
we
always
do
by
asking
God's
blessings
on
these
proceedings
and
I'd
like
to
invite
to
the
podium
father,
Noel
Noll

more
Catholic
Church
welcome

Let

We

welcome.
Thank

So
much.
C
Let
us
pray
in
the
production
of
Samuel
Beckett's
Waiting
for
Godot,
Wendell,
Pierce,
actor,
New,
Orleans
native,
turns
toward
the
audience
and
says:
let
us
do
something
while
we
have
the
chance
at
this
place
at
this
moment
of
time,
for
all
humankind
is
us:
he
delivered
those
lines
on
that
hallowed
ground,
New
Orleans
after
Katrina,
where
many
had
lost
their
lives
for
Pierce.
It
was
one
of
the
most
cathartic
moments
of
his
life.
C
He
says:
I
was
standing
before
people
of
my
community
who
had
come
together
after
this
awful
disaster,
and
we
collectively
said
we
will
do
something
we
will
rebuild
our
community.
We
will
rebuild
our
lives.
We
will
rebuild
the
city
that
we
love,
may
the
spirit
of
a
living
God
be
upon
mayor
Henderson
and
the
City
Council
of
Columbus
this
evening,
as
you
sit
and
deliberate
as
you
voice
the
concerns
and
the
needs
of
the
citizens
of
this
great
city.
C
May
you
do
your
work
with
the
wisdom
of
Solomon,
with
the
strength
of
David
and
with
the
integrity
of
Paul
and
with
the
vision
of
John?
May
God
bless
your
dedication
and
deliberations
your
listening
ears
and
discerning
hearts.
May
the
blessing
of
God
be
upon
each
one
of
you
in
servant
leadership.
We
ask
this
in
Jesus,
name,
Amen,
amen,.
B
E
D
Are
you
doing
well?
Thank
you,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
such
a
wonderful,
wonderful
prayer
to
get
us
started
today,
but
based
on
his
prayer
today.
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
who
he
really
is
he's
new
to
the
community,
but
he
is
at
Saint
Benedict
and
he's
working
already,
trying
to
rebuild
the
community
and
he's
having
meetings
and
things
and
trying
to
pull
things
together
and
bring
the
community
this
neighborhood
everybody
back
together
to
make
it
be
somewhat
close
to
the
pictures
he
has
hanging
up
over
there.
C
B
You,
sir,
please
send
us
up
some
note
notice
on
that
anniversary,
we'll
be
there.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Counselor
next
we've
got
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
and
it's
we're
going
to
be
led
by
some
amazing
young
people
from
our
Community
Schools
program,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
them
to
come
up
and
if
you
please
stand
and
join
me
facing
the
fly.
B
B
G
B
Thank
y'all
did
a
great
job.
I
got
to
tell
you.
I've
received
the
most
interesting
question
I've
had
from
these
bright
young
people.
One
of
them
asked
me
if,
as
mayor
I
could
fire
the
president
I
quickly
told
them
I'm,
not
even
sure
I
have
control
of
my
own
house
with
my
wife,
then
so,
but
thank
y'all
y'all
did
an
amazing
job.
B
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
Motion
second
approve
the
minutes,
any
any
edits,
any
questions,
if
not
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Any
opposed
minutes
passed
a
couple
of
quick
announcements.
Before
we
get
to
a
presentation
by
auditor,
we
have
sort
of
rebranded
the
let's
talk
with
the
mayor
events
that
have
been
held
throughout
the
community,
we've
rebranded
them
as
let's
talk
Columbus,
because
that's
sort
of
our
focus.
B
We
want
to
talk
about
Columbus,
about
your
Columbus
to
Columbus
that
you
want
to
see,
and
the
first
one
will
be
Thursday
this
week,
the
28th
at
the
Liberty
theater
you'll
start
at
and
I
should
know
this
it'll
start
6:00
6:00
to
7:30.
So
we
hope
you
all
will
join
us.
The
department
heads
will
be
there.
The
mayor
will
be
there
and,
of
course,
councilor
Woodson.
It's
her
district.
She
will
be
opening
the
meeting
and
we
hope
you'll
join
us
and
bring
your
bring
your
questions
and
and
your
suggestions,
we'd
love,
to
hear.
B
B
Well,
we're
extending
that
moratorium
only
to
a
defined
area,
the
areas
that
were
impacted
and
that
will
continue
indefinitely.
We've
got
some
sort
of
I
think
some
borders
that
we
can
give
you
tonight.
But
but
we
will,
we
will
release
a
map
to
the
media
tomorrow
and
and
we'll
post
it
on
our
website,
we'll
make
sure
that
it's
available.
So
if
you
have
any
questions
you
can
visit
our
website
or
call
3-1-1
and
they'll.
Tell
you
if
your
area
is
in
is
one
of
those
affected
areas.
B
So
we
will
continue
that
moratorium
in
order
to
try
to
help
our
citizens
dispose
of
some
of
that
debris
that
that
the
tornado
left
behind.
Okay,
all
right
now
invite
to
the
podium,
our
auditor
and
ask
him
if
he'll
make
his
findings
known
on
a
whistleblower
complaint
we
had
from
somebody
in
the
private
sector.
That's.
K
Great
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
mr.
manager,
mr.
attorney,
it's
good
to
be
here
with
you
tonight
tonight,
I'm
a
report
on
an
investigation
of
some
city
procedures
that
was
brought
before
you
on
the
public
agenda
back
in
November,
mr.
David
Erickson
of
Grayhawk
Holmes
I
had
the
opportunity
to
follow
up.
It's
your
request
to
see
if
I
could
work
with
him
and
help
to
resolve
those
issues
a
bit,
and
so
that's
exactly
what
happened.
He
was
here
one
week
in
the
following:
Monday
I
was
out
to
meet
with
his
his
folks.
K
There
we
go
all
right,
so
really
what
happened
was
he
complained
to
a
referred?
The
complaint
was
referred
by
counsel
Garrett
to
me
and
late
October
of
2018.
Last
year,
I
began
to
gather
information
on
the
processes
that
were
involved
in
in
gathering
that
information
on
permit
volumes
and
subdivision
engineering
and
plat
reviews
the
length
of
time
to
obtain
the
permits
on
special
cases,
with
delays
with
new
plans.
Examiner
was
one
of
the
things
anyway.
Mr.
Erickson
appeared
on
the
public
agenda
and
November
27th
at
the
council
meeting
to
discuss
these.
K
He
that's
when
council
authorized
the
internal
auditors
to
meet
with
mr.
Erickson
and
work
to
resolve
it,
and
we
met
with
his
his
he
and
his
staff
and
Keith's
members
on
December
the
3rd.
The
office
of
Gouri
hulk
holmes
me
some
of
the
key
areas
that
he
wanted
us
to
look
at
with
a
length
of
time
to
obtain
permits
on
specific
cases
with
delays,
and
some
of
that
was
relate
to
having
new
plans
examiner
involved.
K
Also,
the
subdivision
engineering
approval
process
and
request
for
additional
information
after
had
once
been
reviewed
and
then
subdivision
plat
approval
process.
He
also
had
some
concerns
about
the
final
building
inspection
in
the
tree,
inspection
timing,
and
sometimes
it
was
conflict
in
with
real
estate
closing
schedules,
and
then
there
was
the
perceived
political
interference
and
I
will
try
to
cover
those
for
you
quickly.
K
We
also
requested
a
flowchart
of
subdivision
engineering
review
and
subdivision
plat
process
in
the
process
times
for
each
and
after
we
had
the
group
meeting,
miss
Hodge
myself
and
the
department
heads,
then
we
broke
up
and
met
with
individual
department
heads
to
discuss
timelines
and
concerns.
We
looked
at
the
flowcharts
and
reviewed
those.
We
looked
at
processing
timelines.
We
looked
at
possible
delays
and
what
might
be
causing
them.
We
looked
at
process
improvement
in
their
late
prevention
methods.
K
We
also
had
a
meeting
with
the
chief
appraiser
in
the
tax
assessor's
office
regarding
the
permitting
delays
in
noting
that
permits
were
severely
delayed
following
the
departure
of
their
GIS
technician
in
the
assessor's
office,
due
to
a
lack
of
backup
that
was
without
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
We
noted
that
the
GIS
technician
departure
occurred
during
the
implementation
of
the
new
tax
software
and
the
countywide
reassessment
of
time
when
they
were
extremely
busy
in
that
department
and
a
new
GIS
technician
is
now
employed
and
the
backlog
has
been
reduced.
K
K
The
inspection
codes
director
gained
approval
from
public
works
director
and
City
arborist
for
inspection
codes
inspector
to
finalize
the
tree
approvals
at
the
time
of
final
inspection
on
residential
properties,
the
Arbor
still
does
it
on
commercial
ones,
and
also
does
it
on
subdivision
development
engineering,
but
just
on
the
final
of
each
individual
home,
because
frequently
that
final
inspection
and
the
tree
inspection
occurs
generally
on
the
morning
of
the
closing
that
afternoon.
So
this
can
be
a
real
delay
for
the
Realtors.
It's
a
real
stressor.
K
We
resolve
some
terminology
issues
with
surveyor
letters
and
assigned
responsibility
for
interaction
with
the
surveyors
in
the
follow-up
meeting
we
had
with
tax
assessor's
office
just
about
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
and
we
also
talked
about
the
GIS
assignment
of
the
parcel
ID.
We
discusses
GIS
technicians,
duties
from
relative
to
parcel
edits
and
assignment
of
parcel
ID
to
enable
permit
issuance
and
noted
the
times
to
complete,
have
recently
risen.
K
It
seems
we've
had
quite
a
quite
a
few
of
subdivisions
that
have
come
in
for
a
review
and
Platts
to
be
processed
thoughts
of
scheduling,
a
follow-up
meeting
with
the
tax
assessor's
office
to
review
the
current
workload
and
consider
alternatives
that
we
can
use
to
reduce
time.
It
may
mean
some
reassignment,
some
duties
between
two
different
GIS
technicians,
perhaps
the
one
in
engineering
and
the
morning
Tax
Assessors,
or
it
may
mean
that
we
have
to
look
at
getting
them.
Some
help
in
tax
assessor's
office
to
get
these
cleaned
up
done
faster.
K
Following
that,
I
contacted
mr.
Erickson
to
schedule
a
follow-up
meeting
to
discuss
the
process,
improvements
and
significant
changes,
and
he
actually
returned
my
call
the
following
Monday
and
we
discussed
them
via
the
telephone.
He
expressed
thanks
for
the
review
process
and
commended
us
on
how
we
did
it
and
also
on
the
noted
improvements,
and
so
then
I
went
ahead,
scheduled
it
to
for
a
presentation
to
update
the
council
tonight,
since
you
had
received
this
complaint
formally
in
in
a
council
session
on
the
public
agenda.
K
K
B
Questions
of
counseling
well,
mr.
rentman
I
tell
you,
you
know
you're
exactly
right,
I
think
when,
when
our
citizens
get
involved-
and
let
us
know
that
they're
having
some
challenges
with
any
of
our
processes,
we
immediately
try
to
take
a
look
at
can
see
if
there's
way
to
gain
efficiencies
in
ways
that
we
can
shift
some
things.
Technology
has
allowed
us
to
do
some
additional
things.
So
I
think
it's
a
good
process.
We
we
want
to
be
held
accountable
as
a
government.
We
want
to
be
transparent.
B
K
You
know
when
I
spoke
with
mr.
Erickson
last
week.
I
thanked
him
for
bringing
the
issues
forth,
because
if
no
one
ever
complains
or
you
don't
know
that
problem
perhaps
exists,
it's
not
much
likelihood
that
you're
going
to
improve
it
unless
we
just
embark
on
reviewing
all
of
our
procedures
at
once
so
in
different
groups.
K
So
I
did
thank
him
for
that,
and
I
want
to
thank
each
of
those
department
heads
as
well
as
miss
Hodge
and
the
GIS
technicians
that
work
with
us
people
from
tax
assessor's
office,
because
it
is
a
collaborative
effort,
and
you
know
when
it
crosses
departmental
lines
and
under
different
leadership.
Heads
and
you
know
Tax
Assessors
under
board,
so
going
to
make
sure
that
we
had
proper
coordination
and
I
do
believe.
We've
made
progress
and
we'll
probably
continue
to
improve
a
little
bit
more.
B
We've
got,
we've
got
tremendous
employees
and
they
were
very
very
hard
and
they
take
in
a
lot
of
volume
of
work
and,
and
so
sometimes
we're
so
busy
doing
the
work
at
hand
that
we
don't
really
have
the
time
or
take
the
time
to
try
to
look
for
efficiencies.
So
it's
it's
a
great
partnership
when
the
citizens
bring
something
forward
to
us.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Alright,
that's
it
for
my
agenda,
we'll
turn
it
over
to
the
city
attorney.
B
B
L
L
B
M
B
L
Right
now
we
have
some
zoning
public
hearings.
First,
one
this
evening
is
property
at
2870.
Christian
Road
is
mr.
Jane
here
this
evening,
Ipek
come
on
up
sir
and
give
them
your
name
and
address.
This
is
going
for
single
family
from
single
family
to
to
single
family
3.
If
you
would
just
tell
them
who
you
are
for
the
record
we'll
see
if
there
any
questions,
yeah.
L
This
property
just
to
put
a
house
on
it.
Okay,
any
questions
around
the
table.
Anybody
in
the
audience
want
to
be
heard,
don't
see
anything.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
We're
gonna
vote
on
that
that's
the
regular
meeting
in
two
weeks.
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
My
our
next
one
is
the
carport
use
requested
by
mrs.
Chester
at
8,
25th,
Avenue,
Miss
Chester,
here
this
evening.
L
L
Anybody
in
my
audience
want
to
be
heard
on
this.
Don't
see
any
hands
we'll
vote
on
this
then
two
weeks
at
the
regular
meeting
Chester.
Thank
you
all
right.
The
next
property
is
at
11:47,
670
m
512,
12th
Street.
Mr.
Henson
is
here
as
an
applicant.
This
is
requested,
use
or
apartments
office
warehouse
going
from
light
manufacturing
to
uptown
recommended
for
approval.
O
I'm
Ken
Henson
I,
live
at
612
brought
away
and
I
didn't
know
this
at
the
time
that
this
was
the
original
coca-cola
bottling
building
in
Columbus
Georgia
that
opened
in
1905,
I,
think
Gary,
Allen
and
some
others
probably
move
on
over
or
17th
Street
that
we
went
to
when
we
played
Little
League
baseball.
But
this
one
preceded
that
and
you
almost
wouldn't
know
it
was
there,
but
some
of
it
is
still
on
the
building
and
it's
a
cross
with
golden
foundry
on
6th
Avenue.
O
So
I
thought
you
might
be
interested
knowing
that
I,
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
do
with
it,
but
we're
going
to
renovate
it
and
that's
sort
of
inside
that
shows
the
old
offices
and
the
it
had
a
skylight
all
the
way
to
the
third
floor,
because
back
then
they
didn't
have
good
lighting.
So
the
central
area
there
was
where
they
buy
all
the
cocoa.
L
Okay,
any
questions
around
the
table
and
I'm
seeing
anybody
in
the
audience
want
to
be
heard
on
this.
Okay,
Thank
You
mr.
Hummel
vote
in
two
weeks
on
that
may
our
next
item
up
is
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
unified
development
ordinance
text
to
replace
provisions
pertaining
to
personal
care
homes
and
foster
care
homes,
with
definitions
that
are
consistent
with
the
state
law.
Councilor
Davis
has
been
very
involved
in
several
meetings
on
this
topic
and
councillor
Barnes
who's,
not
here
too
right
now,
but
we
this
has
been
worked
on
for
a
long
time.
Davis.
L
M
On
those
changes
they
were
going
to
bring
like
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor,
if
I
may
members
of
council
this
has
been
a
conversation
we've
had
for
since
the
last
last
six
months
worth
in
terms
of
issues
dealing
with
personal
care
homes
and
the
problems
they
cause
with
potential
cost
in
neighborhoods
and
whatnot.
We
were
charged
with
the
idea
of
going
back
and
looking
at
how
we
can
clean
this
up
and
how
we
can
better
manage
and
regulate
these
uses.
M
Looked
at,
we
had
to
look.
We
were
asked
about
look
at
the
current
zoning
requirements,
identify
how
we
could
better
regulate
these
personal
care
type,
two
and
type
three
homes
and
in
the
community
itself
make
sure
we
all
understood
what
the
Fair
Housing
Act
is
and
what
it
does
to
us
and
how
it
really
can
affect
us
and
then
how
we
go
about
identifying
what
rule
the
guidelines
would
need
to
have
I'm
walking
through
this
I
apologize
I
did
not
bring
the
printouts
for
the
PowerPoint.
M
We
can
provide
it
to
you,
but
these
is
the
mayor's
already
indicated
to
our
just
a
highlights
of
the
ordinance.
So
everything
we're
dealing
with
really
it's
primarily
dealing
with
the
definitions
of
what
we're
going
to
consider
in
our
personal
care
homes.
This
is
the
existing
one
now
for
a
personal
care
home,
which
means,
basically,
that
is
being
an
establishment
air
more
than
24
hours,
we're
getting
rid
of
that
one
and
we're
coming
back
with
proposal
here.
It
shows
really.
This
is
much
more
detailed
definition.
M
The
other
thing
you
need
to
carry
away
from
this
conversation
about
the
fact
is:
we've
been
we've
gone
back
and
had
several
meetings
with
representatives
from
the
fire
department
and
from
inspection
codes
from
some
state
agencies
as
well.
We've
invited
off
so
I
think
at
the
time
some
personal
care
home,
reps
and
locally
just
to
get
a
feel
for
what
we're
doing
with.
M
This
gives
us
better
definition,
really
in
terms
of
what
the
personal
care
homes
meaning
to
this
community,
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
I
want.
You
also
know
that
the
yeoman's
work,
all
this,
the
heavy
lifting
really
comes-
comes
out
of
the
City
Attorney's
Office.
We
looped
you
chef,
tile
and
clipton,
helping
us
get
to
this
point,
but
this
will
be.
The
new
definition
is
proposed
now
for
personal
care
homes
involved,
with
that
the
only
existing
personal
care
home
tae-won
now
is
really
anything
that
provides
personal
care,
including
foster
care
children.
M
The
one
thing
we
want
that
we
want
to
try
to
separate
to
and
I'll
doing
all
these
definitions
is
taking
away
this
idea
of
children
being
in
definitely
in
a
personal
care
home
and
establishing
a
definition
it
talks
just
for
their
needs
own
and
nothing
they're,
trying
to
mix
the
two
together
when
under
the
proposed
definition
here.
What
we
propose
now
is
we're
going
to
Skloot
take
out
this
word,
including
foster
care
for
children
in
a
personal
care
type
home.
M
First
coach
care
home
type
one
rather
we're
not
we're
not
getting
rid
of
the
type
one
and
uses
remem
again,
also
that
under
fair
housing,
anything
with
six
or
less,
we
basically
cannot
regulate.
We
can
monitor
it.
We
just
can't
regulate.
We
had
to
depend
really
on
those
state
agencies
to
come
forward
and
help
us
with
that
that
monitoring
and
we've
we've
done
a
better
job
with
that
we
got
a
little
bit
better
progress
with
that
I'm,
not
not
to
the
point
where
I'd
like
to
be,
but
we're
closer
I.
M
Think
in
terms
of
how
we
achieve
that
there's
a
personal
care
home
type
to,
of
course,
we're
in
this
case
here
were
talking
about
again
foster
care
for
children.
You
put
foster
care
now
in
a
personal
care
home
type
and
then
also
can
limit
from
between
seven
and
18.
The
proposal
now
calls
for
we
again.
M
We
we
take
out
the
wording
dealing
with
anything
with
foster
care
well
for
children,
and
it
runs
from
seven
to
fifteen
this
again
mirrors
what
this
state
fire
codes
are
dealing
with
in
terms
of
inspecting
these
homes
and
dealing
with
that
make
sure
we're
in
sync
with
that
also
in
dealing
with
the
state
agencies
as
well.
So
that's
that's.
What
we're
trying
to
achieve
here.
Our
definition
for
personal
care
services
also
has
been
reviewed
and
turns
you
in
terms
of
what
we
look
for,
that
we
really
are
getting
rid
of
that
definition.
M
All
together,
we're
just
taking
it
out
of
the
ordinance
what's
proposed
here,
is
to
make
sure
we
are
not
limited
to
individual
assistance
or
supervision,
but
things
like
helping
folks
they
need
needs
for
in
terms
of
daily
living,
such
as
eating
or
bathing
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
That
now
defines
we
define
what
we
call
personal
care
services
in
our
community.
M
Foster
care
home
now
there
says
where
we're
breaking
this
this
subject
a
little
bit
deeper.
Now
we're
talking
about
defining
what
a
foster
care
home
it.
We
don't
have
this
definition
in
the
order
now,
but
it
would
actually
deal
with
children
in
terms
of
words
in
and
we
the
thing
you
need
to
take
away
from
this
definition
is
a
private
home,
that's
being
used
by
a
child,
placing
agency
which
has
been
approved
by
a
child,
placing
agency.
M
That's
important:
we've
had
situations
not
necessary,
but
folks
will
just
start
taking
folks
in
they'll,
take
the
money
but
they're
not
being
approved
or
regulated
by
any
type
of
state
agency.
This,
we
hope,
will
prevent
that
from
happening
when
that,
but,
and
also
in
looking
at
foster
care
home
in
this
particular
case
means
no
more
than
six
children
who
are
unrelated
to
the
foster
parent
of
our
parents
themselves.
So
you
can
have
a
home,
bring
foster,
foster
kids
into
it,
but
you
got
to
be
regulated
by
the
state
or
the
state
agency
itself.
B
P
M
L
P
I've
visited
with
a
a
juvenile
facility
and
my
understanding
was
there
some
approval
or
supervisory
role
the
state
plays
in
his
being
able
to
have
housed
children
there,
so
he
is
reported
responsible
to
the
state
for
how
he
operates
his
business.
That's
why
I
was
thinking
we
might
want
to
think
about
that.
L
P
L
Any
agency
that
does
this
placing
is
going
to
be
licensed
by
the
state
they
sent
people
from
defects,
Human,
Services,
juvenile
justice,
juvenile
court.
They
all
came
to
these
meetings
that
counselor
Davis
had
so
I
mean
that's.
What
we're
talking
about
state
approved
agencies,
but
this
is
this
is
the
exact
definition
in
the
statute,
and
we
wanted
to
stick
with
that
exact
wording.
Okay,
thank
you.
M
There's
also
the
definition
now
that
we
are
including
for
group
foster
home,
which
is
really
that
number
between
six
and
fifteen
pretty
much
all
in
the
same
lines
as
a
foster
care
which
is
six
or
under
so
there's
there
occlude
there
to
clear,
distinct
definitions
now
we're
proposing
to
identify
what
a
foster
care
home
is
and
what
a
group
foster
home
is,
rather
than
just
depending
on
personal
care,
one
or
two
definition
for
to
make
that
work.
This
we
think
again,
as
the
City
Attorney's
alluded
to
it's
already
mirrors.
M
What
we're
talking
about
under
state
law
today,
so
we're
trying
to
do
that
personal
care
home
type.
Three
is
when
we
still
have
where
it
talks
about
nineteen
or
more
clients
that
are
aged
and
disabled
or
Hill,
and
it
goes
on
to
talk
about
hospitals
and
clinics
that
third
line
I
get
looking
at
again.
Today
we
talked
about
including
convalescent
and
nursing
facilities
and
providing
personal
care
and
so
forth.
M
We
already
have
a
definition
for
those
for
convalescent
and
for
personal
care,
so
we
really
we're
really
just
striking
that
that
tow
definition
that
whole
use
out
if
you've
got
someone
that
meets
this
kind
of
definition
with
19
or
more
you're,
really
talking
about
more
long
lines
for
a
nursing
home
anyway,
or
something
of
a
convalescent
home
that
provides
that
kind
of
care.
There's
no
there's
no
need
for
this
any
longer.
M
In
our
estimation,
finally,
I
just
want
to
show
you,
under
the
foster
care
and
group
where
these
particularly
uses
could
go
foster
care
courses
is
a
permitted
use
really
in
any
of
the
really
of
our
historic,
historic
scuse
me
any
of
our
residential
areas
involved
with
that
even
the
oven
even
to
the
rm1
r1f
RMF
RS
QB
RM
1/2,
which
is
basically
multifamily.
From
that
standpoint,
you
go
to
a
group
home
though
you're
going
to
get
come
and
ask
for
a
special
exception.
M
Those
two
particular
categories
of
particular
zones-
they
are,
will
be
permitted
in
neighborhood
commercial
and
it
will
be
also
permitted
in
in
terms
of
a
general
commercial
use.
Again,
those
are
more
than
more
than
six
and
less
than
the
15,
so
those
of
where
we
are
or
that
there
are
some
other
changes
in
the
ordinance
itself
that
we
describe
it
primarily
because
the
things
I
want
you
to
know
about
these
are
think
they're,
the
real
being
change
for
anything
else.
Q
R
R
R
One
of
the
things
we
found
out
is
that
there
is
a
category
in
our
you
do
called
transitional
housing,
which
is
very
important
to
understand
and
I
think
the
staff
needs
to
to
really
take
a
look
at
this.
Whenever
there's
a
application,
that's
being
filled
out
exactly
the
the
nature
of
the
children
that
are
being
served
in
residential
neighborhoods,
so
I
wanted
to
make
that
clear
to
Council
it's
not
being
stated
here,
but
they
are
quite
possibly
for
lack
of
a
better
term
operations
dealing
with
child
care
in
residential
neighborhoods.
R
That
don't
meet
the
zoning
requirements,
so
that
really
needs
to
be
understood
and
I.
Think
it's
spelled
out
clear
in
the
you
do.
If
that's
the
case,
then
they
would
not
be
able
to
operate
in
residential
neighborhoods.
They
would
have
to
operate
in
the
appropriate
zones.
So
I
did
want
to
make
that
known
that
that
was
discovered.
It's
in
a
different
category
called
transitional
housing
and
there
is
a
definition
that
goes
along
with
that.
R
So
it's
important
again,
I
would
say:
there's
different
levels
when
you're
dealing
with
foster
care
in
this
giorgia
there's
different
levels
of
care
that
that
the
state
recognizes
when,
when
dealing
with
these
kids
and
they're,
all
different
I
said
it
before
they
all
have
different
stories,
a
lot
of
them.
They
don't
ask
to
be
in
those
situations,
but
a
lot
of
them
have
different
stories
and
they
come
from
different
environments.
B
L
Mr.
John,
thank
you
thank
you,
mr.
Jones.
We
will
bring
that
back
for
a
vote
in
two
weeks
in
we
item
9
mayor,
we're
gonna,
ask
that
that
be
delayed
until
there's
an
update
scheduled
on
the
city
manager's
agenda,
but
if
that's
okay,
sure
the
item
10
on
parking
management
districts,
it's
the
first
reading
is
good
when
it's
here,
but
there
have
been
discussions
about
making
it
easier
for
people
to
understand
the
rules
on
the
parking
management
districts,
particularly
downtown.
S
L
L
To
be
any
right,
we'll
bring
that
for
a
vote
in
two
weeks.
Yeah,
the
technology
policy
is
being
revised.
Item
11.
This
is
being
done
by
ordinance
to
make
it
clear
that
certain
activities
on
City
equipment
are
prohibited
and
IT
director.
Of
course,
mr.
Tully
is
in
control
of
all
of
this,
and
it
also
spells
out
that
confidential
information
or
privileged
information
will
remain
privileged
and
confidential
unless
it's
released
pursuant
to
a
court
order
or
to
a
proper
investigation.
But
mr.
Tolar,
you
have
some
comments.
Just.
T
L
Right
we'll
bring
that
back
for
a
vote
in
two
weeks.
The
last
item:
we
need
a
vote
on
right.
This
minute
is
a
resolution
authorizing
a
special
exception
to
allow
boarding
house
at
3019,
North
Lumpkin
Road.
This
been
recommended
for
approval
by
planning
advisory
and
the
Planning
Department
applicant
is
Charles
Wright.
Ok,
mr.
Wright
is
here,
give
him
your
name
and
address.
First.
L
J
D
V
L
D
W
M
W
M
That
part
there's
no
excuse.
My
voice
is
going
with
no,
not
to
my
knowledge
about
background
checks.
From
our
perspective,
what
he
has
to
do
is
fill
out
an
application
for
a
special
exception
request.
We
treat
just
almost
like
a
rezoning
itself
and
since
we
sent
out
notice
300
feet,
we
require
a
sign,
be
posted
in
the
front
yard
at
close
to
the
road,
and
then
we
had
to
advertise.
We
probably
do
a
zoning
in
the
paper
and
then
that
then
we
have
to
have
a
hearing
in
front
of
the
playing
Advisory
Commission.
M
W
M
U
That
stay
there
is
our
friends
on
Kent
folks
and
they
have
a
medical
condition.
They
have
leg.
Service
comes
all
the
time
to
come,
take
them
to
the
hospital
they
go
to
the
Bradley
SEMO
Piedmont
and
the
other
one
and
the
police
officer
come
with
the
ambulance
service.
That's
why
it
seemed
like
that,
but
they
always
goes
to
the
hospital
or
when
they
come.
There.
L
L
B
L
X
D
D
I've
been
searching
for
the
right
words
all
day
to
say
that
we
as
a
body,
we
have
a
great
council
here
and
we're
great
body
of
people.
We
are
not
trying
to
interfere
with
the
process
at
all,
we're
not
trying
to
gear
anyone
into
who
gets
chosen,
but
the
process
was
not
the
issue
the
process
flowed
through
and
some
things
transpired
and
I
just
think
that
if
this
goes
back
out,
it
needs
to
be
monitored.
However,
procurement
does
that
work?
My
understanding
is
from
beginning
to
end
the
process
went
well.
D
There
are
some
things
that
took
place
at
the
end
that
didn't
make
sense.
I
had
no
contact
with
the
potential
vendor
until
after
all
of
this
started
happening
and
all
of
the
defrost
debts
had
taken
place,
but
I
just
think
for
us
to
be
going
back
to
the
prayer
that
was
given.
Today
we
have
to
take
care
of
our
citizens.
We
have
to
become
a
better
community,
better
citizens,
better
friends
to
one
another
and
it
doesn't
matter,
win
lose
or
draw,
but
I
have
to
know.
D
I
have
to
know
and
I
think
others
up
here-
have
to
note
too
that
when
we
go
through
this
procurement
process-
and
we
have
a
winner
and
we
have
a
loser-
that
everything
was
done
fairly
from
beginning
to
end
and
in
the
procedures
and
things
like
I
say:
I,
don't
want
it
to
up
here
that
I'm
leaning,
one
way
or
the
other,
but
I
am
leaning
toward
the
fact
that
some
things
were
not
done
correctly,
so
not
to
prolong
it.
I'm
searching
I'm
scrambling
in
my
head,
not
to
say
the
wrong
thing.
D
In
our
agenda
from
time
to
time,
I
like
to
peek
in
to
see
what's
coming,
what's
in
the
procurement
process,
do
I
have
any
projects
coming
up
that
are
due
just
to
take
place
in
the
future,
or
is
people
asking
about
fridges
and
things
of
that
nature?
When
will
we
start
the
actual
process
so
in
following
this
process?
I
think
this
particular
contract
I
think
ended,
probably
end
of
December
and
we're
in
March
now,
and
we're
trying
to
figure
out
who
the
vendor
will
be
and
I
kind
of
asked
a
question.
D
After
that
process
was
over.
There
was
a
car
accident
at
McDonald's
and
Dennis
on
making
road
and
a
car
went
into
the
side
of
Denny's
one
night
and
I
just
happened
to
see
it
and
all
one
thing
led
to
another.
So
I
made
a
phone
call
the
next
day
to
a
procurement
to
ask
about
whatever
happened
to
the
vehicle,
that's
how
it
all
started,
and
they
said
that
it
was
going
forward.
D
Kind
of
where
I'm
stuck
and
we
need
to
really
look
at
in
the
past,
we've
had
X
number
of
people
to
participate
and
if
there's
gonna
be
any
adjustment
to
that
process,
I
think
procurement
needs
to
know
see.
The
management
needs
to
know.
The
council
needs
to
know
if
something
is
changing
that
we
haven't
done
in
the
past.
So
please
don't
take
it
wrong.
I
think
where
we
are
now
is.
D
D
Just
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know.
It's
I
spoke
to
someone
today.
Someone
did
I
trust
and
we
believe
in
each
other,
and
my
comment
was
the
process
needs
to
go
forward.
It
needs
to
go
back
out,
I
think
because
they
cannot
last
an
end
of
the
year.
It
needs
to
be
done
right
away.
If
that's
what,
if
that's
the
direction,
we're
going,
it
needs
to
go
right
back
out
and
it
needs
to
be
monitored
to
make
sure
it's
carried
out
correctly,
because
in
the
discussion
that
we
had.
D
One
of
the
vengers
was
thought
to
be
a
small
player
in
the
game
and
he's
not
a
small
player
in
the
game
and
that
he
would
not
have
the
potential
or
the
ability
to
do
big,
towing,
cleanup
accidents
and
pictures
out
there.
People
who
know
have
seen
both
towing
companies
have
been
able
to
tow
18
wheelers
buses,
charter
buses,
school
bus,
cement
trucks,
so
everything's
equal
as
far
as
being
able
to
clean
up
and
go
forward.
So,
like
I
said
we
can't
pick
and
choose,
but
please,
after
today
going
forward.
D
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
process
is
followed
because
all
of
you
out
here
in
the
future,
if
you
decide
to
be
it
on
a
contract,
you
need
to
know
that
it
was
fair.
You
need
to
know
that
it
was
handled
well
from
beginning
to
end
and
that
council
had
no
interference
and
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
stay
out
of
it.
D
And
I
had
a
talk
with
my
parents,
my
dad
died
in
92.
That
was
still
not
the
changes.
I
thought
should
take
place.
My
mom
in
2000
was
still
not
there.
2010
is
2020
next
year
and
Columbus
is
a
place
for
a
lot
of
good
people
and
the
shenanigans
and
the
nonsense
needs
to
squit.
We
need
to
all
live
together,
participate
together
and
make
this
city
the
great
city
that
it
should
be.
Thank
you.
R
Sir,
thank
you
Mary
I
just
wanted
to
say
those
are
words
well
express
councillor.
Huff
I
do
I
think
the
purpose
is
knowing
that.
There's
concerns
there's
in
differences
and
possibly
perceived
tension
in
this
whole
matter,
and
that's
why
I
think
it's
best
to
go
ahead
and
let's,
let's
get
this
out
on
the
table
and
just
move
forward
from
here.
The
process
does
need
to
be
fair,
equitable
and
justice.
How
it
should
be,
and
certainly
there
there
can't
be
any
essence
of
influence
or
process.
That's
tainted
and
I.
R
Think
where
we're
at
now,
based
on
that,
the
best
thing
to
do
is
just
to
go
ahead
and
and
to
reject
the
current
proposal
that
is
being
put
in
front
of
us,
or
the
current
RFP
advise
a
city
manager
to
move
forward
as
quick
as
possible
form
a
new
RFP
and
us
that
provoked
proposed
vendors
of
what
I
meant
by
that
is.
Anybody
wants
to
put
their
name
in
the
Hat,
but
it
actually
should
be
put
back
out
to
the
public
and
go
through
a
new
process
of
may.
The
best
man
win.
R
B
Right
there
is
a
motion,
second
on
the
table,
to
reject
the
bid
and
continue
with
a
month-to-month
and
put
it
out
for
rebid
immediately
by
the
way,
without
any
delay.
Any
further
comments
to
the
motion,
if
not
I'll,
entertain
all
those
in
favor
of
rejecting
the
bids
and
starting
over,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
Those
in
favor,
please
raise
your
right
hand.
Y
Y
S
S
S
I've
been
city
manager,
14
years
I
was
deputy
city
manager
7
years
and
got
to
watch
the
process
and
in
over
20
years,
I've
not
seen
a
problem
around
this
table
with
process
or
people
being
vendors
being
treated
fairly,
and
so
we
will
expedite
the
process
will
continue
on
a
month
them
off
until
we
can
bring
something
back
to
this
council
and
I
can
assure
you
that
it
will
be
done
fairly
and
all
vendors
will
be
treated
equally
and
have
the
same
opportunity
to
compete.
That's
what
I
can
assure
you
Thank.
D
Make
no
mistake
that
I
love
the
employees
of
a
consolidated
government
and
I'm,
not
insinuating
that
they're,
not
professional,
and
that
they
didn't
do
a
great
job,
but
there
are
some
steps
after
they
did
what
they
had
to
do.
That
involved.
I
guess
some
others
and
they
may
all
be
I,
guess
employees,
but
nobody
in
the
procurement
area
did
anything
wrong.
D
Don't
don't
even
think
that
I'm,
that's
what
I'm
saying
I'm
saying
that
once
it
went
through
the
process
even
and
talking
to
the
different
people,
no
one
has
complained
about
process,
not
even
the
person
that
participated.
The
vendor
said
the
process
was
excellent,
no
problems
at
all,
not
angry
about
anything,
but
the
high
of
it
is
that
it
goes
through
the
process
and
we
put
together
committees
to
score
whatever
we
do
at
the
end.
That's
what
I
think
the
attention
needs
to
be
going
forward
and
that's
what
I'm
requesting.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
D
B
Right,
yeah-
and
you
know,
listen
here's
the
deal
now
this
is
almost
say
about
that
is
that
unintentionally,
I
think
there
were.
There
were
some.
There
was
some
interference
that
went
against
the
written
guidelines
of
the
of
the
procurement
ordinance
I,
don't
matter
if
it
was
intentional
unintentional,
the
fact
he
has
it
occurred
and
it
occurred
frankly
on
behalf
of
both
of
the
primary
bidders.
B
So
so
I
think
that
councilor
Davis's
motion
and
this
this
council's
decision
to
reject
them
both
and
start
over,
is
sound.
Tell
you,
everybody
involved
going
forward,
knows
the
rules
pretty
clearly
now
and
I
know.
We've
got
people
scheduled
to
speak
on
the
public
agenda
tonight
and
we're
not
going
to
try
to
stop
anybody
from
speaking,
but
I
tell
you
knowing
what
you
know
if
you
come
up
and
address
this
body
when,
frankly,
this
bid
is
turning
right
back
around
I
think
I've
talked
to
the
city
attorney
and
I.
B
Think
you
you,
you
run
the
risk
of
jeopardizing
your
qualifications
by
doing
the
exact
same
thing
that
they
kind
of
put
us
in
this
in
this
pickle
in
the
first
place,
and
that
is
communicating
with
the
council
out
or
communicating
with
anybody
outside
of
the
procure
a
team
under
those
guidelines.
So
I'm
not
gonna
deny
anybody
would
never
do
that.
An
opportunity
to
speak,
but
I
just
want
you
to
understand
that.
B
L
B
N
N
We
served
that
melt.
The
mlw
serves
America's
youth
by
hosting
the
Youth
Leadership
Conference
programs
throughout
the
United
States
Awards
programs
for
the
ROTC
and
Junior
ROTC
cadets,
the
Boy
Scouts
and
the
Girl
Scouts.
Additionally,
we
honor
others
who
excel
in
areas
of
national
security,
homeland
security
and
law
and
order
arenas,
and
we
host
the
massing
of
color
ceremonies
in
conjunction
with
key
patriotic
holidays
last
August
and
I'm.
Sorry,
it
took
us
so
long
to
get
to
this.
N
N
We
were
so
impressed
with
the
treatment,
professionalism
and
Hailey's
ability
to
anticipate
the
needs
of
the
mo
WW
during
the
convention
once
connected
with
her
I
gave
her
the
general
needs
of
the
organization,
and
she
took
charge
dressed
and
arranged
all
of
our
needs.
She
did
everything
she
could
ensure.
We
had
a
smooth
running
and
snag
free
event
and,
as
a
result
of
her
leadership
direction
of
her
staff,
they
contributed
to
us
having
a
successful
convention,
and
with
that
we
have,
everyone
can
see.
N
And
also,
if
Ashley,
what
I'm,
sorry
that
was
hailey
Henderson
Tillery
I
should
have
given
her
whole
name
and
Ashley
white
tuna
right
with
I'm
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
I'm.
Sorry
Convention
of
Visitors
Bureau
Ashley,
with
the
CBB,
took
charge
of
all
non
conference
center
operations
to
ensure
the
rest
of
the
convention
went
smoothly.
I
gave
actually
general
orders
on
what
we
needed
for
the
Convention
to
include
hotels,
tours
meeting
spaces,
food
and
many
other
things
she
took
charge.
N
Oh
geez,
she
took
charge
and
handled
all
the
basic
convention
planning
the
tours
can
coordination
and
even
led
one
of
the
motor
coaches
to
Fort
Benning.
She
and
she
also
helped
to
make
the
convention
and
execution
of
the
Convention
much
easier
for
us,
as
we
had
our
convention
here
in
Columbus,
and
she
also
receives,
and
both
of
these
say,
the
military
order
of
the
world.
Wars
proudly
presents
this
award
to
Haley,
Henderson,
Hilary
and
Ashley
white
Tina
for
her
leadership
and
excellence
in
support
of
the
2018
mo
w
convention.
B
Good,
so
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
recognizing
these
folks
and
thank
you
for
bringing
your
convention
to
Columbus
Georgia,
we're
very
proud
of
the
the
work
that
mrs.
Tillery
and
Ashley
both
do
from
different
different
organizations.
They
always
come
together
to
make
sure
that
anybody
that
visits
this
community
has
a
an
amazing
experience.
Councillor
house
I
thank.
X
You
mr.
mayor
I'd,
just
like
to
add
since
I,
was
at
the
convention.
I
can
echo
the
comments
that
Leo
Goodsell
made
about
how
well
they
did
putting
up
with
a
bunch
of
old,
hard-headed
cantankerous,
retirees
and
veterans,
which
was
not
always
easy
and,
of
course,
actually
had
to
get
me
in
and
out
of
for
bidding
on
a
tour
bus,
which
was
a
particular
issue
I'm
sure
at
times,
but
I'm
certainly
I
want
to
thank
them
for
what
they
did,
because
they
truly
did
a
great
job.
Make
Columbus
look
wonderful.
B
B
Q
Q
B
Z
B
Z
B
AA
State
your
name
in
your
dresser
yeah
good
evening.
My
name
is
Roberto
Eunice
and
at
the
3601
Hilton
Avenue,
our
office
is
located
right
there
behind
CVS
Pharmacy
in
the
Hilton
Avenue
I'm
here
to
present
a
a
very
good
health
prevention
program
with
just
we
call
sign
of
health.
So
we
we
got
in
our
mission.
We
have
been
science
in
1990
in
the
United
States
doing
a
mission
to
has
the
quality
of
life
by
providing
diagnostic
medical
services,
with
video
quality
and
value
for
early
detection
and
management
of
disease.
So.
AA
So
we
are
going
to
counted
eight
two
percent
on
a
stroke
prevention
program
by
definition
on
a
stroke
or
brain
tissue
death
can
be
the
result
of
the
thrombus
blockage,
salary
or
haemorrhage.
Look
to
Adelita
prevent
blood
flow
to
the
brain.
There
is
a
low
level
of
data
that
we
call
the
TI
a
known
as
a
TIA,
a
transient
ischemic
attack.
There
is
a
temporary
blockage
of
blood
flow
in
the
brain.
We
cause
actual
life
in
a
Roger
neurological
deficit.
AA
So
what
cousin
a
stroke
that
is
too
tight
that
the
scania
stroke
and
he
mahalia
strollers
si
and
in
this
cami
we
could
see
that
the
common
cause
of
a
stroke
is
OddParents.
Chlorosis
is
a
hardening
of
the
artery
and
build
up
plaques,
leaving
less
pay
for
blood
flow
circulation,
so
a
blood
clot
may
lodge
in
this
narrow
space
and
cause
an
ischemic
stroke
and
by
the
side
of
him
right,
which
is
more
danger.
He's
often
result
for
uncontrolled,
high
blood
pressure
that
caused
and
we
are
ready
to
burst.
AA
AA
Also,
the
throat
day
rates
in
the
statistics
for
2014
to
2016
the
album
age
35
plus
by
county
also
is
in
the
South
area
of
our
country.
So
also,
each
year,
approximately
almost
a
hundred
thousand
peoples
of
an
olestra
about
600,000
are
the
first
attacks
and
one
185,000
our
record
and
attacks
and
record
in
that
people
or
cure
above
the
age
of
65
their
risk
of
having
a
stroke
more
than
doubles
each
decade
after
the
age
of
55
and
the
race
of
a
stroke
is
more
in
a
man
than
a
woman.
AA
AA
So
by
a
statistic
in
Dow,
we
just
want
to
see
that
a
stroke
in
that
is
that
more
time,
disabilities
and
death
than
other
preventable
disease
like
we
could
also
compare
with
the
breast
cancer
prostate,
prostate
cancer,
which
is
more
above
the
time
of
disability
and
the
death.
So
for
to
that,
the
lyrica
some
kind
of
pop
singer
for
a
stroke
which
is
about
as
life,
has
been
related
to
a
video
that
we
are
promoting
to.
AA
Let
the
people
know
what
these
symptoms
are
for,
initially
prevent
a
stroke,
which
is
a
speak
when
you
got
a
barrier,
speed
or
the
face,
dropping
face
or
dropping
and
is
a
time
to
call
9-1-1.
You
know
and
go
to
the
hospital
to
prevent,
because
the
first
hours
of
a
symptom
begins
more
successful
rate
for
getting
out
of
the
stroke
pathology.
AA
So
the
the
stroke
weeks
are
something
that
you
can
control
on
something
that
you
cannot
control,
so
they
you
can
control
by
boya
smoking
niversity
for
eating
habits,
lack
of
physical
activity,
diabetes,
high
blood
pressure
and
high
cholesterol.
But
you
can
now
control
the
age
change
the
family
history
of
stroke
by
race.
Have
we
seen
the
previous
slide
so
by
that
our
company,
absolute
medical,
diagnostic
belief
that
is
better
to
detect
a
possible
disease
and
time
to
a
boy
than
having
the
disease?
AA
B
This
is
such
a
powerfully,
important
presentation.
I
would
lager
that
she
continued,
but
unfortunately
we
have
to
keep
the
rules
the
same
for
everybody.
Okay
can
tell
you
if
you'd
like
to
stay
and
wait
till
after
the
clerk's
agenda
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
will
be
glad
to
bring
you
up
and
give
you
three
more
minutes
perfect.
AA
X
S
Me,
let
me
just
say,
and
that's
an
excellent
thought
by
the
mayor
pro-tem,
but
that
has
already
been
done.
I
am
told
that
he
came
early
and
they
did
a
show
and
they'll
rework
that
they
are
rebroadcast
in
that
show
on
CCC
TV,
and
so
that's
he's
already
done
that
and
that's
being
done
outstanding
Thank
You.
Mr.
B
City
manager,
yes,
thank
you,
dr.
Yunus.
All
right
next
up
is
Miss
Teresa
al-amin
regarding
strong
parental
involvement
in
the
community
education,
miss
Ella
mean
I
would
just
because
we're
still
kind
of
new
at
the
new
rules,
and
everything
reminds
you
that
you
need
to
confine
your
time
your
kind
of
comments
to
your
topic
tonight.
We
can't
speak
about
the
same
issues.
Two
meetings
in
a
row
has
to
be
60
days.
AD
AC
B
B
B
AC
It's
been
eight
years
since
I
first
brought
up
the
idea
of
strong
parental
involvement
in
community
education,
spikes,
it's
a
program
where
parents
teach
other
parents
and
their
children
family
literacy,
it's
a
program
that
was
done
in
Durham,
North,
Carolina
and
I
was
the
director
and
after
five
years,
I
turned
it
over
to
the
parents.
What
I've
learned
being
here
for
these
eight
years
is
it
won't
take
five
years
to
turn
it
over
to
the
parents?
AC
We
put
out
an
application
or
requests
for
para
teachers
to
apply
for
the
position
and
20
parents
applied
for
the
position
on
Facebook.
We
started
two
interviews
last
week
and
four
parents
showed
up,
but
you
know
the
people
who
need
to
be
there
are
there
at
the
time
when
they
need
to
be
there
and
I
just
want
to
bring
attention
to
two
parents
who
showed
up
Kristen,
Cooley
and
delecia
Walden.
AC
Would
you
please
stand
for
a
moment
because
they
showed
up
for
the
parent
teacher
position,
but
they
are
now
the
spice
coordinators,
because
I
was
always
ready
to
turn
it
over
to
somebody
with
deep
roots
in
this
community
who
could
carry
it
on
and
they've
recruited
other
parents
from
the
ones
who
didn't
show
up
to
replace
the
ones?
And
so
we
start
classes
where
delecia
and
Christian
will
be
teaching
other
parents
how
to
teach
the
program.
AC
Computers
for
their
homes
and
the
target
schools
are
Dorothy,
Height,
Martin,
Luther,
King,
jr.,
Thomas,
Brewer
and
JD
Davis
before
elementary
school.
We're
the
majority
of
students
there
a
failing
the
other
two
schools
where
the
majority
of
students
are
failing:
our
Baker
middle
school
and
the
rothschilds
Leadership
Academy.
AC
All
of
these
schools
are
in
the
village
south
of
Macon
Road,
and
so
that
is
our
focus
on
how
we
can
make
our
contribution
to
crime
prevention
and
at
the
risk
of
of
being
told,
I'm
lobbying
or
something
I
won't
mention
too
much
about
the
crime
prevention
grant.
But
I
think
that
this
is
the
kind
of
program
which
was
funded
in
2017
and
is
even
stronger
now
and
should
be
considered
and
I.
AC
AC
B
B
S
S
Very
observant,
City
Council
meeting
and
Richard
and
Brooke
if
you
would
stand
for
a
quick
second
they're
students
at
Columbus,
State,
University,
well,
CIM,
thank
you
and
so
mr.
mayor
first
on
my
agenda.
I've
got
amnesty
months
months
with
an
s
for
interest
in
penalty
on
demolition,
liens
and
I'm.
Actually,
before
I,
ask
you
to
vote
on
this
matter.
I'm
going
to
ask
deputy
city
manager,
Pam
Hodge
to
kind
of
brief
us
on
what
we've
got
that
we're
asking
for.
AE
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
as
you
recall,
we
did
an
amnesty
period
last
year
and
this
would
be
what
we're
recommending
as
an
amnesty
period
for
2019
our
current
demolitions.
We
have
341
demolition,
liens
recorded
over
2
million
of
that
is
principal,
so
the
actual
cost
of
the
demolition
it's
accumulated
over
there,
almost
1.2
million
in
interest
for
a
total
of
3,
almost
3.3
million
of
demolition,
liens
principal
and
interest
on
the
books.
When
we
did
this
in
2018,
it
was
done
in
the
month
of
September
for
a
total
of
8
lanes.
AE
So
at
the
time
we
had
340
liens
on
the
books,
8
liens
were
were
paid.
During
that
time
we
collected
39
thousand
dollars,
so
not
as
much
as
we
would
have
liked,
but
we
did
collect
quite
a
bit
of
funds
related
to
those
liens
and
got
those
properties
cleared.
They
were
required
to
not
only
pay
the
demolition
lien,
but
any
we'd
liens
and
all
the
taxes
had
to
be
current.
So
all
of
that
happened
for
these
eight
properties.
AE
We
did
waive
$23,000
of
interests
that
had
accumulated
just
on
those
eight
properties
since
their
inception,
and
we
did
have
a
counselor
request.
Some
examples,
so
I
just
pulled
a
few
randomly
of
examples.
Some
recent
some
from
quite
a
few
years
ago.
This
was
a
demolition
that
was
done,
January
19th
of
2017.
You
can
see
the
before
and
after
pictures,
the
principal
amount
was
fourteen
thousand
nine.
Fifty
four
interest
since
2017,
so
not
quite
two
years,
accumulated
almost
two
thousand
dollars
worth
of
interest
for
a
total
of
sixteen
point.
AE
Seven
there
are
taxes
still
do
on
this
property
dating
back
to
2012.
It
has
a
fair
market
value
of
eleven
thousand
four
hundred
and
thirty.
So
that's
twenty
thousand
dollars
of
just
principal
and
taxes
that
are
due,
which
exceeds
the
amount
of
the
fair
market
value.
So
those
are
some
of
the
issues
that
we
have
with
properties.
When
you
have
a
demolition
on
the
property,
the
actual
lien
comes
in
higher
than
the
value
of
the
property.
Again
another
example:
125
gates,
Avenue.
AE
The
principle
of
the
demolition
was
six
thousand
dollars
accumulated
783
dollars
of
interest
since
2017
the
fair
market
value
on
this
property
is
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
and
thirty.
It
does
have
one
weed
lien
on
it
for
three
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars,
so
we've
had
to
go
out
and
take
care
of
this
property
one
time
since
that
demolition
has
happened.
AE
This
is
a
demolition
that
dates
back
to
2003
and
you
can
see
the
principal
amount,
so
the
actual
amount
that
it
costs
us
to
do
the
demolition
back
in
2003,
eight
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
one
dollars.
It's
accumulated
8,500
dollars
worth
of
interest,
so
it's
doubled
the
cost.
Since
2013,
it's
got
back
taxes
of
16
hundred
and
eighty-eight
dollars,
but
the
fair
market
value
is
ten
thousand
one
hundred
and
ninety.
So
by
by
waiving
that
interest
charge
the
cost
to
purchase
this
property
is
close
to
the
fair
market
value.
AE
So
that's
why,
in
some
cases,
we
think
we
can
get
some
folks
in
to
pay
off
these
demolition
liens
by
waiving
that
interest
and
they're
actually
coming
close
to
the
fair
market
value
of
property
and
then
just
the
last
example.
This
one
goes
back
to
nineteen.
Ninety
nine
thirty,
eight
hundred
over
twelve
thousand
dollars
worth
of
interest
over
that
time
for
a
total
of
sixteen
thousand
again
taxes
do
since
2010
of
just
under
two
thousand
dollars
fair
market
values
4870.
So
this
one's
definitely
upside
down
in
the
value
vs..
AE
What's
due
in
liens
on
the
property,
the
2019
amnesty
period,
our
recommendation
is
to
begin
advertising
immediately
through
all
of
our
outlets,
social
media,
the
website
CC
GTV,
the
notification.
When
we
send
out
the
monthly
statements,
we
will
put
a
notification
in
every
statement
that
we
send
out
that
we're
having
this
amnesty
period.
It
would
be
May
and
June
of
2019
and
it
would
waive
the
penalty
and
interest
just
on
the
demolition
liens.
B
The
passes
and
I
got
to
congratulate
staff
on
this
initiative.
Our
objectives
should
always
be
to
get
property
turned
around.
We
don't
sit
and
hold
it
any
longer
than
we
have
to
get
it
put
back
on
the
tax
rolls
and
adding
to
the
quality
of
life
of
folks
that
might
be
able
to
move
into
a
home
there
so
good
job.
Thank
you
very
much.
So.
S
S
If
this
does
not
work,
we're
plaintiff
backup
plan
I
think
we
are
going
to
course
try
this
and
we're
going
to
try
and
work
with
the
land
bank
Authority
through
the
Tax
Commissioner
tax
assessor's
office
to
see
what
our
options
are,
and
but
we've
got
to
figure
out
how
to
move
these
properties
alone,
because
it's
only
going
to
get
worse
with
time.
As
you
can
see
that
two
thousand
three
pieces
of
property
I
mean
it's
just.
We
can't
do
that
for
the
next
ten
years
or
20
years
so
I
just
once.
S
B
You
Man,
yeah
and
I
gotta
say
that
staff
has
been
pretty
impressive
with
the
way
they're
focusing
on
trying
to
try
to
get
some
of
these
properties
turmeric
around
they're,
working
with
John
Hutchison
and
with
Laura
and
and
we're
working
on
operating
within
the
statutes
that
are
provided
but
being
very
aggressive
about
trying
to
get
these
things.
Cleaned
up,
turned
around
and
back
on.
The
tax
rolls
yes.
S
S
Amnesty
period
may
give
them
an
opportunity
to
have
someone
else
step
forward
and
say:
I
want
that
piece
of
property,
so
I'll
go
and
pay
the
taxes
and
I'll
pay
the
principal
and
and
then
you
send
that
property
over
to
me,
because
the
interest
in
all
made
it
out
reach
for
them.
So
hopefully
that's
an
opportunity
if
they
can't
afford
it
that
they
can
work
with
someone
else
who
they
would
want
to
have
it,
and
they
can
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity
together.
AB
S
AB
S
S
AB
AB
B
AB
S
They
miss
me
next
I've
got
the
Americans
Disability
Act
transition
plan.
It
is
something
that
we're
required
to
submit
to
the
Georgia
Department
of
Transportation
if
we've
got
more
than
50
employees
or
federal
financial
assistance
with
15
or
more
employees,
and-
and
so
we've
got
to
do
this-
this
as
a
matter
of
requirement
with
Georgia
Department
transportation,
most.
B
R
B
S
B
S
L
Will
call
up
the
ordinance
but
I
think
miss
Halliwell
wants
to
come
over
with
the
actuary
mr.
Chuck
Carr,
who
is
now
here
and
make
a
few
comments,
but
essentially
this
would
correct
some
errors
that
occurred
in
calculations
for
early
retirees
up
to
a
certain
point
and
then
correct
the
procedure
going
forward
and
it
would
also
put
in
a
new
up-to-date
mortality
table,
but
Miss
Halliwell
is
here
and
mr.
core.
Here
they
can
answer
any
questions
about
the
history
leading
to
this.
If
counsel
has
any
questions,
welcome.
S
AD
As
the
city
attorney
has
mentioned,
there
is
an
ordinance
before
you.
That's
that
we're
recommending
that
you
approve,
but
before
we
do,
that,
I
did
want
to
just
provide
a
brief
summary,
just
a
brief
overview
of
the
purpose
of
the
ordinance
and
then
have
actuary
consultant.
Mr.
Carr,
who
is
here,
come
in
give
our
second
briefing
and
answer
any
questions.
I
did
provide
ahead
of
schedule,
a
document
summary
to
the
council,
so
I
hope
you
all
have
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that.
AD
Every
you
it
and
so
I
won't
go
over
that
in
detail,
but
I
didn't
want
to
just
hit
a
couple
of
the
highlights
of
that
particular
document
and
you
know
entertain
any
questions
if
you
have
any
basically
what
happened
in
earlier
this
year,
our
actuary
consultant
discovered
a
pension
calculation
calculations
for
early
retirees
were
being
calculated
incorrectly.
The
pension
calculations
for
early
retirees
in
certain
parts
of
the
calculations
in
certain
parts
of
that
calculations,
the
normal
retirement
age
of
65,
was
used
to
calculate
each
retirees
pension
rather
than
the
actual
age
of
retirement.
AD
So
this
incorrect
calculation
was
discovered
by
our
actuary
consultant
and
he's
going
to
respond
to
it
briefly.
Here
also
I
mentioned
that
we're
not
sure
how
the
error
occurred.
It
was
determined
that
early
retirees
have
been
calculated
erroneously.
Their
retirement
pensions
have
been
calculated
erroneously
since
1999
or
soon
thereafter.
It
was
also
determined
that
the
pensions
were
accurately
calculated.
However,
for
those
members
who
retired
at
normal
retirement,
age
or
older.
AD
We
requested
that
our
software
vendor
pension
gold
provide
a
sampling
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
early
retirees
who
retired
between
2014
and
earlier
this
year.
The
purpose
of
the
sampling
was
to
determine
the
difference
in
calculation,
when
normal
retirement
age
was
applied
versus
the
actual
retirement
age,
the
average
difference
is
sixty
one
dollars
and
sixty
three
monthly
per
retiree
to
correct
this
pension
calculation
error.
AD
We
are
recommending
and
proposing
and
ordinance
amending
both
the
pension
plan.
Both
pension
plans
to
correct
the
calculations
going
forward,
and
we
are
asking
council
to
amend
both
the
general
government
and
public
safety
pension
plans
and
revise
the
definition
of
actuarial
equivalent
in
Section
two
point:
four
of
the
pension
plan.
Specifically
this.
This
amendment
will
accomplish
three
things.
AF
It's
good
to
see
all
of
you
again
good
evening,
so
there's
three
things
basically
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on.
First
of
all,
it
is
such
a
great
job
of
summarizing
the
issue.
First
of
all,
you
may
ask:
why
do
we
need
to
incorporate
it
into
an
ordinance?
You
know
the
sort
of
the
blessing
of
what's
happened
in
the
past.
AF
So
because
the
the
good
news
is
that
two
pieces
of
good
news.
First
of
all,
this
error,
which
came
about
really
when
dudas
the
the
worksheets
that
were
provided
by
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
the
prime
actuary
or
consultant
many
many
years
ago
had
provided
some
worksheets
for
the
staff
to
calculate
benefits.
With
respect
to
the
optional
forms
of
payment.
You
may
recall
that
the
pension
plan
doesn't
just
pay
a
single
life
annuity.
It
offers
a
variety
of
options
to
the
participants.
AF
They
can
have
various
periods
certain
where
they
have
a
guarantee
for
so
many
years.
Their
benefit
we
paid
or
they
can
choose,
is
very
common
for
people
to
choose
a
joint
and
survivor
pension
where
a
portion
of
their
pension
will
go
to
their
surviving
spouse,
for
example.
So
I
would
say.
Probably
most
people
do
choose
one
of
those
options.
The
options
are
not
equal
in
dollar
amount,
they're,
not
equal
to
the
standard
form
of
payment.
You
have
to
take
that
standard
form
of
payment
and
then
adjust
it.
AF
Typically,
it's
adjusted
down
so
there's
a
reduction,
especially
if
you're
talking
about
providing
a
joint
and
survivor
pension,
because
the
plan
would
paying
a
pension
for
two
different
lives
as
opposed
to
just
one.
So
there
is
a
reduction.
You're
usually
could
be
anywhere
from
five
ten
fifteen
percent,
maybe
twenty
percent,
depending
on
the
option,
they're
choosing
and
of
course
the
the
amount
of
the
reduction
also
is
absolutely
dependent
on
the
ages
of
both
the
retiree
and
the
joint
annuitant
or
the
spouse
or
whoever
the
beneficiary
would
be.
AF
So
there
were
some
worksheets
that
have
been
provided
many
many
years
ago
decades
ago
to
interpolate
factors,
because
the
the
actual
factors
that
are
used
to
do
that
calculation
are
only
given
there
only
there
in
charts
or
tables
by
whole
age.
And
so,
if
you
have
someone
retiring
at
say,
age,
55
and
a
half,
you
have
to
look
at
the
age,
55
factor
in
the
age
of
56
factor
and
then
do
an
interpolation
between
the
two,
so
their
worksheets
that
have
been
created
many
many
years
ago
to
help
the
plan
administrator.
AF
Do
that
calculation
and
I
think
what
happened
was
that
at
some
point
along
the
way,
those
worksheets
just
got
misinterpreted,
because
what
what
happened
as
a
practical
matter
was,
they
ended
up
sort
of
looking
up
the
age,
65
conversion
factors
as
opposed
to
the
age,
55
or
58
or
60.
The
effect
of
that
is
that,
fortunately,
this
is
the
bit
of
good
news.
AF
The
effect
of
that
is
that
those
early
retirees
who
chose
an
option
got
a
little
bit
higher
pension
I
mean
we
would
be
having
a
different
discussion,
I
think
if
people
had
not
gotten
the
full
amount
of
the
pension
they
were
entitled
to,
but
in
this
case
there
was
a
slight
overpayment.
Of
course,
it
goes
back
to
the
point
of
their
retirement.
AF
AF
So
without
this
corrective
ordinance,
the
terms
of
the
plan
would
say
we
have
to
go
back
and
have
to
you
know
recalculate
and
redo
and,
as
I
said,
that's
very
problematic,
and
it
would
just
create
a
lot
of
different
issues
so
with
the
corrective
ordinance,
because
City
Council
has
the
power
to
amend
the
plan,
you
can
amend
the
plan
this
way
and
that
in
essence,
bless
us
what
has
happened
in
the
past
now.
The
next
thing
hi
we
if
I,
were
sitting
in
your
standing
in
issues
I
would
I
would
think.
AF
Is
this
going
to
add
to
the
cost
of
the
plan
and
that's
the
other
piece
of
good
news
I
wanted
to
mention,
which
is
because,
when
I
value
the
plan
I'm
provided
the
data
each
year,
one
of
the
things
I'm
given
is
the
list
of
retirees
along
with
the
benefit
that
they
are
actually
being
paid.
I,
don't
see
the
details
on
how
it
was
calculated,
so
the
good
news
is
all
of
these
retirees
who
have
been
paid
a
slightly
bigger
pension
than
maybe
what
they
were
entitled
to.
AF
That's
already
been
baked
into
the
numbers
into
my
actual
numbers
and
into
the
contributions
of
the
city
mates.
So
this
this
ordinance
will
have
no
impact
as
far
as
suddenly
creating
additional
liability
behind
that
we've
I've
already
reflected
the
actual
dollar
amount
of
the
benefits
that
are
being
paid.
So
that's
a
bit
of
good
news.
AF
The
other
is
just
a
shift
gears
slightly
the
other
when
we
were
having
the
discussion
we
being
some
of
the
staff
and
then
the
ultimately
Retirement
Board
when
we
were
having
discussions
about
this
issue,
I
suggested
that
maybe
because
your
actual
equivalents
basis,
meaning
the
the
mortality
table,
that's
used
to
to
calculate
this
conversion
for
optional
forms
of
payment.
That
has
gotten
very
much
out
of
date.
Right
now,
your
ordinance
says
that
it's
to
be
based
on
something
called
AUP
84
and
the
84
is
1984.
AF
So
we
are
not
now
using
more
how
many
tables
for
this
calculation
that
are
35
years
old.
What
I
suggested
is
that
is
that
you
consider
doing
what
the
city
of
Macon
actually
did
several
years
ago
and
I've
had
a
number
of
other
clients.
Do
that
I
just
mentioned
Macon,
because
they're
kind
of
a
peer
City.
AF
You
know
here
in
Georgia,
obviously,
but
my
suggestion
was
to
rather
than
name
a
specific
mortality
table
where
we
would
then
at
some
point
down
the
road
possibly
have
to
talk
about
updating
it
is
to
move
to
something
we
commonly
call
it
the
IRS
mortality
table.
But
basically,
every
year
the
IRS
publishes
a
mortality
table
for
this
purpose.
Now
private
plans
are
mandated
under
federal
law
to
use
that
table
for
certain
calculations.
AF
Obviously
that
has
no
applicability
in
the
public
sector,
and
you
know
we're
not
required
to
use
the
IRS
table,
but
nevertheless
it
is
a
unisex
table
and
it's
something
that
does
get
updated
automatically
each
and
every
year,
and
so
theoretically,
at
least,
if
we
move
to
that
standard,
then
we
won't
have
to
have
the
discussion
about
updating
mortality
going
forward
because
it
will
happen
automatically
every
year
the
the
the
calculations
will
be.
You
know,
reflect
the
little
additional
life
expectancy
or
whatever
has
happened.
AF
The
other
nice
thing
about
going
to
the
proposed
and
the
new
tables
is
that
your
pension
gold,
your
pension
administration
software,
already
those
folks
already
they
do
this
calculation
as
a
part
of
their
system,
I
mean
they
have
to
do
it
for
many
many
other
plans,
so
they
already
have
these
tables
built
into
their
system.
It
can
happen
automatically.
They
have
all
the
coding
there
if
we
ask
them
to
change.
AF
If
we
stay
on
the
current
mortality
basis,
the
UK
84
and
we
then
what's
going
to
happen,
is
they're
gonna
have
to
go
and
change
some
coding
I
think
there
is
probably
a
cost
for
them
to
do
that.
I,
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
anyway,
they're
gonna
have
to
change
coding
to
try
to
change
how
they're
calculating
the
factors,
whereas
if
we
move
to
the
new
mortality,
this
is
something
that's
built
into
their
system
and
it
will
happen
automatically
be
seamless
and
really
none
of
us
have
to
think
about
it
anymore.
AF
You
know
specifically
so
and
that
as
the
actuary
for
the
plan
that
gives
me
a
lot
of
reassurance
that
going
forward
these
calculations
will
be
done
correctly
because
it's
being
done
by
software,
that's
used
by
many
many
clients
around
the
country.
It
you
know
it
sort
of
goes
beyond
the
calculation
is
no
longer
sort
of
the
mercy
of
some
worksheets
that
you
have
here
in-house.
You
know
what
we
have
to
worry
about
this
again,
so
that's,
basically
what
the
ordinance
is
doing
it
it's
to
bless.
AF
What's
happened
in
the
past
just
so
we
don't
have
to
go
back
and
try
to
redo
it's
at
no
cost
additional
cost.
Cuz
I've
already
got
those
increased
benefits
built
into
the
numbers
from
in
your
valuations
and
then
finally,
to
move
us
to
that
new
standard,
effective
I
believe
it
was
May,
1,
right,
Lucy,
May,
1,
what's
the
date
so
to
move
to
the
new
standard,
May
1st,
that's
when
the
software
people
said
they
can
have
all
this
good
to
go
and
then
and
then
hopefully,
we'll
get
on
to
bigger
and
better
things
moving
forward.

The
economy
is
doing
really
well
economically,
most
folks
that
want
a
job.
They
can
get
a
job
and
that's
a
good
thing,
but
it
presents
a
challenge
for
us
also
as
a
city
government,
in
that
most
people
that
Warner
job
can
get
a
job
but
oftentimes.
Sometimes
they
can
get
a
job
that
will
pay
more
than
a
job
that
we're
offering
or
the
benefits
are
a
little
bit
better
than
the
benefits
that
we're
offering.
So
while
the
economy
is
good,
it
just
pre,
it
creates
a
challenge
for
us
today.
AD
AD
AD
AD
We've
identified
nine
positions
that
I
want
to
share
with
you
this
afternoon
that
we
deem
to
be
critical
in
nature
and
impact
the
efficiency
of
governmental
operations.
The
first
position
that
I
wanted
to
mention
to
you
is
not
going
to
be
real
new
because
we've
talked
about
this
one
before
and
that
is
the
position
of
a
police
officer
in
the
police
department.
There
are
a
total
of
521
positions
of
those
500
and
positions
about
a
hundred
of
those
are
non-sworn
position.
All
of
the
other
positions
are
sworn
the
police
officer.
AD
AD
S
AD
AD
S
AD
AD
Police
sworn
officer
positions,
so
the
Sheriff's
Office,
there's
the
sheriff's
deputy
and
I'll
combine
these
two,
the
sheriff's
deputy
and
a
sheriff's
corrections
officer
in
the
Sheriff's
Department.
The
department
has
a
total
of
385
positions
of
those
385
positions.
143
of
those
are
Sheriff,
Deputies
and
84
of
those
or
corrections
officers
for
each
of
those
positions.
They
have
19
vacancies
in
each
position
for
a
total
of
38
Kenzie's
for
chef,
deputy
and
a
corrections
officer.
AD
AD
The
next
critical
position
is
the
firefighter
EMT
fire
medic
position
in
the
fire
and
EMS
department.
The
total
normal
positions
in
that
department
is
at
three
hundred
and
seventy
six
of
those
positions,
two
hundred
and
nine
of
those
all
of
those
firefighter
fire,
EMT
and
five-minute
positions,
and
they
currently
have
twenty
vacancies.
The
annual
salary
is
at
thirty,
four
six,
forty
entry-level
to
thirty
nine
674,
and
they
have
had
continuous
vacancies
since
2018.
AD
The
next
critical
position
I
want
to
mention
to
you
is
that
of
a
bus
operator
position
in
the
Department
of
Metro
Transit.
They
have
a
total
of
90
positions
in
that
department
and
of
those
not
of
those
90
positions.
68
of
those
are
bus
operators
and
currently
they
have
20
vacancies
in
that
department.
The
entry-level
pay
for
bus
operators
at
thirty
thousand
thirty
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
nineteen
dollars
and
those
positions
they've
had
continuous
vacancies
for
bus
operators
since
2017.
AD
AD
The
next
position
is
that
of
a
waste
equipment
operator
with
a
CDL.
That's
a
commercial
driver's
license
at
the
Public
Works
Department.
As
well
as
a
fleet
maintenance
tech,
which
is
a
mechanic
at
the
public
works
department,
the
department
has
a
total
of
418
positions
of
those
positions:
a
waste
equipment
operator.
That's
a
that's!
The
truck
driver
pretty
much
your
these
are
your
sanitation
drivers.
There
are
a
total
of
117
of
those
positions
of
that
117.
Six.
There
are
six
vacancies.
AD
The
entry-level
are
starting
paid
for
waste
equipment
operators
at
thirty
one
thousand
five
nineteen,
and
there
have
been
continuous
vacancies
for
waste
equipment
operators
since
2014
and
for
fleet
maintenance
tank
or
a
mechanic.
There
is
a
total
of
28
positions
and
there
are
currently
five
vacancies,
these
starting
payers,
and
you
miss
that
twenty,
eight,
five
and
they've
had
continuous
vacancies
for
fleet
maintenance
texts
since
2017.
AD
Also
in
public
works,
I'm,
sorry
Metro.
They
also
have
fleet
maintenance,
tax
or
Mechanics
for
that
department.
Again,
there
are
90
total
positions.
There
are
15
positions
that
our
fleet
maintenance
takes
and
they
currently
have
two
vacancies
for
a
fleet
maintenance
tag
and
that
pay
again
is
28.
Five
and
they've
had
continuous
vacancies
since
2017.
AD
So
then
I
want
to
just
share
with
you.
This
begins
to
show
some
of
the
impact,
the
challenges
with
these
particular
positions.
If
you
look
at
a
police
officers
in
2018,
they
hired
40
police
officers
and
that
looks
good.
They
hired
40,
but
they
had
56
separations.
So
they
were
to
the
negative
of
16
positions
as
if
they
say
somewhat
of
a
revolving
door
and
you'll
see
that
throughout
here.
AD
AD
For
a
corrections
officer
with
the
Sheriff's
Office
in
2018,
they
hired
30
and
they
lost
13
for
a
firefighter
EMS
and
fire
medic
in
2018.
They
hired
17,
but
they
lost
20
for
a
negative
of
7
for
a
bus
operator.
They
hired
27,
but
they
lost
they
hired
27,
but
they
lost
24.
So
they
retained
three,
while
corrections
officer
at
Muscogee
County
prison
in
2018,
they
hired
26,
but
they
lost
38.
AD
That's
a
negative
12
and
for
Public
Works
for
a
waste
equipment
operator
in
2018
they
hired
32
and
they
lost
15
and
for
the
fleet,
maintenance
tape
taking
1
2
&
3
they
hired
5,
but
they
lost
13.
That's
a
negative
8
and
from
XOR
with
their
fleet
maintenance
takes
they
hired
four,
but
they
lost
7,
that's
a
negative
3.
AD
So
what
are
their
recruitment
and
retention
challenges?
Why
can't
they
recruit
enough
people
and
why
can't
they
retain
the
ones
that
they
recruit
now
for
each
of
these
positions,
the
reasons
for
recruitment
and
retention
are
going
to
be
very
similar
in
some
departments.
You'll
see
they'll
have
a
few
differences,
but
for
the
most
part,
their
recruitment
and
retention
challenges
are
very
similar.
So
here
with
a
police
officer,
recruitment
and
retention
challenges,
the
number
one
issue,
the
Department
believes-
is
competitive,
pay,
lack
of
qualified
applicants,
and
this
runs
through.
AD
They
hear
this
so
often
it
because
I'm
in
HR
and
I
see
it
just
trying
to
get
enough
applicants
that
are
qualified
to
meet
the
major
to
be
able
to
do
the
major
do
in
quality.
That's
a
challenge,
the
type
of
work
that's
being
required,
and
they
also
suggest
that
there's
a
lack
of
recruitment
and
sentence
where
they're
competing
with
these
same
type
skills
are
in
demand
in
other
areas
and
they
are
competing.
AD
So
one
of
the
things
the
department
feels
is
they
need
additional
recruiting
incentives
in
the
police
department
I'll
note
that
they
are
required
to
have
to
meet
certain
standards
for
accreditation
and
recertification
and
that
that
hedges
on
their
retention
challenges
so
the
same
as
I
said
and
I
won't
go
over.
All
of
these.
The
same
types
of
retention
and
recruitment
challenges
exist
in
the
Sheriff's
Department.
The
competitive
paid,
long
work
hours
shift
work,
the
type
of
work
by
ODMs
you'll,
see
the
same.
AD
Some
of
them
cite
again
the
the
lack
of
a
sign-on
bonus
here,
incentives
to
encourage
recruitment
and
then
those
retention
things,
incentives
to
encourage
the
bus
operators
or
the
fleet
maintenance
Tech's
to
stay.
They
cite
those
as
issues
just
to
go
a
little
bit
further
in
in
depth
and
I'll,
be
real
brief
on
these
talking
about
bus
operators.
AD
Metro,
for
example,
has
a
particular
recruitment
issue
in
that
the
school
district
is
looking
for.
Bus
operators
to
and
Fort
Benning,
especially,
is
looking
for
bus
operators
and
that's
been
a
longtime
challenge
for
Metro
in
that
they'll
recruit
in
trying
to
hire,
retain
the
same
type
of
employee
that
the
school
district
needs
and
that
fort
benning
needs
so
at
fort
benning.
AD
AD
This
was
an
untimely
incident
that
happened
where
they
had
over
80
bus
operators
to
call
out
sick,
because
they
were
not
pleased
with
the
way
that
union
the
contract
was
going,
and
this
also
happened
during
the
time
just
before
the
Superbowl
was
supposed
to
happen,
but,
needless
to
say,
they
they
did,
they
did
resolve
it
and
the
bus
operators
return
to
work
and
I
just
mentioned.
I
brought
up
the
school
district
who
we
compete
with
for
bus
operators.
AD
They
have
addressed
or
attempting
to
address
their
bus
operator
issues
by
providing
a
total
incentive
package
for
them
they
get
at
over
a
half
a
million
dollars
that
include
different
types
of
performance,
incentives
to
encourage
recruitment
and
retention.
Our
pay
I
will
note
that
is
comparable
to
the
school
district
for
bus
operator.
The
average
pace
starts
at
1466
an
hour
to
18
18:07
an
hour,
so
our
pay
is
comparable
to
that
and
at
MCP
again
there,
their
recruitment
and
retention
challenges
are
similar.
AD
I'll
just
mention
this
one
thing
with
mCP
that
they
were
careful
to
point
out
is
one
of
the
things
the
challenges
in
terms
of
their
recruitment
and
retention.
Is
they
no
longer
have
a
sign-on
bonus
and
they
cite
that
as
a
challenge
and
they
don't
receive
pay
reform
such
as
the
police
department
and
the
sheriff
so
a
lot?
Sometimes
the
the
folks
at
MCP
will
leave
and
go
to
the
sheriff
and
they'll
go
to
the
police
department
because
they
they
have
the
they
have
pay
reform.
AD
They
have
sign-on
bonuses
and
those
sorts
of
things
and
the
only
other
thing
I'll
mention
on
public
works
in
terms
of
retention.
Pat
Bigler
was
careful
to
point
out
all
the
competitive
pay
type
of
work
lack
of
a
available
applicants,
but
they
also
cite
that
a
lot
of
times
they
lose
employees
because
of
inmate
supervision.
Sometimes
you
know
they're
hoppy,
you
hire
them
and
they
say
yeah
I'm
going
to
do
this
type
work,
but
after
a
period
of
time
they
decide
that
it's
not
what
they
want
to
do
so.
AD
I'll
say
this
also
in
terms
of
how
we
promote
and
advertise
for
our
positions
in
in
terms
of
recruitment.
We
have
a
fantastic
tool
in
our
application
management
system.
It's
internet-based
many
jobs
organizations
will
pick
up
our
jobs.
Not
only
are
they
on
our
internet
site,
but
they're
on
government
jobs
dot-coms,
which
is
a
national
site.
It's
going
to
pick
up
all
our
jobs,
indeed.com
Glassdoor,
your
own
social
media,
with
LinkedIn
with
Facebook,
so
our
jobs
are
out
there,
but
we're
obviously
that
this
is
a
pain
for
the
departments
and
they're.
AD
That's
all
that
I
have
the
department's
there's
a
department
representative
from
each
of
these
departments
that
I've
talked
to
the
day.
So
so
they
are
here.
If
you
have
questions
specific
questions
of
those
departments
about
their
recruitment
and
retention
strategies,
particularly
related
to
these
critical
positions
that
I've
mentioned
all.
B

Let
me
take
the
opportunity
to
sing
without
the
opportunity
here
to
to
remind
you
about
next
Monday.
We
let
you
a
flyer
for
the
dedication
of
completion
of
the
Columbus
Riverwalk,
a
the
bit
Mill
Event
Center
at
two
o'clock
in
the
case
of
rain.
Would
you
have
planned
for
that?
We
will
actually
go
inside.
So
if
anybody
is
concerned
by
the
weather
that
day,
we
encourage
you
to
come
on
out
anyway.
With
that
we
will
also
have
run
some
golf
carts.
M
Shelter
from
the
parking
lot
cause
that
parking
lot
so
elongated
in
terms
of
configuration
makes
a
long
walk
some
folks,
we
will
provide
you
a
show
to
the
service
man.
So
if
you
would
please
make
that
on
your
calendars
for
next
Monday
at
2
p.m.
at
the
River
Milla
Vincent
I've
been
asked
to
come
and
talk
briefly
by
the
delivery
district
and
where
we
are.
You
may
recall
that
last
year
you
appointed
a
committee
to
help
us
look
and
plan
for
the
future
and
desired
needs
for
delivery
itself.
M
M
We
were
at
the
point
really
a
really
getting
into
that
I
guess
the
meat
of
the
document,
the
existing
plan
itself,
I
guess:
I
made
a
mistake
of
giving
homework
because
they
were
going
to
look
at
in
the
first
10
or
so
pages,
and
that
document
come
back
and
go
through
it.
The
January
meeting.
We
had
really
only
one
one
person
in
attendance
for
that
meeting.
We
had
one
who
come
came
to
us
and
said
that
they
could
not
be
there
because
they
were
sick
and
we
understood
that
we
tried
again
to
reschedule
February.
M
Do
we
want
to
go
forward
with
this
continue
on
with
it
and
if
we
do
want
to
continue
on
with
it,
I'll
ask
for
your
help
at
the
same
time,
in
terms
of
going
back
and
talking
to
the
ones
that
you
have
pointed,
or
at
least
asked
to
be
on
this
committee
to
come
forward
and
stay
with
us
on
this.
So
that's
where
we
are
right
now,
I
wish
I
had
a
better
rapport
and
turn
to
tell
you.
We've
made
significant
progress,
but
right
now
we're
kind
of
a
standstill
and
just
need
no
restriction.
M
We
want
to
go
cancer,
yes,.
D
B
B
You
got
the
viaduct
because
we
continue
to
try
to
revitalize
that
moving
closing
the
gap
with
Midtown
and
I
think
look.
The
Liberty
is
the
next
logical
block
in
that
in
that
overall
process.
So
it's
critical
that
we
get
input
from
people
who
really
really
want
to
be
on
that
committee
and
you
know
so.
I
would
urge
the
council
just
check
with
your
representative
and
ask
them.
There's
no
shame
in
not
having
time
to
participate
but
make
sure
that
they're
invested
in
the
process
because
they're
a
critical
piece
of
it.
