your
city
council.
B
C
C
We
come
this
morning,
god
in
this
matter,
lord.
We
ask
right
now
that
you
would
guide
us
in
all
that
we
do
bless
this
counsel.
Lord
help
them
to
be
diligent,
help
them
to
be
prayerful,
and
all
of
the
work
of
this
great
city
help
us
to
always
come
together
as
a
community
to
do
that,
which
is
led
by
you
to
take
care
of
the
citizens.
C
B
B
B
So
just
could
I
have
a
motion
on
the
minutes.
B
Ocean,
second,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
that
passes
a
quick
update
on
the
covid.
Our
hospitalization
numbers
are
down
and
we're
headed
and
are
still
headed
in
a
good
direction.
We'd
like
for
everybody
to
keep
doing
what
they're
doing
and
avoid
contact.
If
you
feel
funny
or
alarmed
in
any
way,
please
get
checked
out.
B
E
Good
morning,
thank
you
so
much.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
and
see
you
all
this
morning
and
let
the
community
know
about
how
important
this
is
for
our
community
and
the
activities
that
we're
going
to
host.
I'm
going
to
ask
one
of
the
staff
to
come
up
really
quick
and
let
everybody
know
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
year
for
kids
to
parks
day.
We're
really
excited
really
hoping
the
community
will
come
out
and
support
us.
This
is
about
the
kids.
E
This
is
about,
as
as
councillor
krabs
said,
getting
our
kids
into
the
parks
getting
them
outdoors,
getting
them
active
to
stay
healthy,
both
physically
and
mentally.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
staff
really
quick,
come
tell
you
what
they're
going
to
do.
F
Good
morning,
so
we're
going
to
be
at
shirley
winston
park
and
I'm
going
to
be
there
from
10
to
1
and
it's
going
to
be
fun
games
it's
time
for
people
to
come
together.
Parents
get
your
kids
out
into
the
park,
show
them
the
things
that
we
used
to
do
it's
going
to
be
old
school
games.
It's
going
to
be
hopscotch,
it's
going
to
be
tug
of
war,
different
things
like
that.
We're
also
going
to
have
cotton
candy,
the
bounce
houses
we're
going
to
have
foam
machine.
F
Please
bring
your
towel
because
the
kids
are
going
to
get
soaking
wet.
It's
going
to
be
a
good
time,
we're
going
to
have
different
games.
Different
vendors
are
going
to
be
out
there
and
it's
just
going
to
be
for
a
couple
hours.
So
come
out
have
fun
with
your
kids
in
the
park.
Every
kid
is
going
to
leave
with
something
so
just

come
enjoy.
The
park

family
time.
E
Sorry,
thank

We
really
appreciate
it
again
come
out
and
see
us
this
saturday,
shirley
winston
park
and
the
time
again,
10.
E
Certainly
not
me
it's
all
the
staff
and
many
more
that
were
not
able
to
join
us
today,
but
it's
the
staff
that
that
does
this
for
the
community,
and
so
I
would
ask
that
our
citizens,
please
take
a
moment
and
tell
these
staff.
Thank
you
when
they
see
them,
they
live
their
lives,
giving
back
to
the
community
and
the
things
that
they
offer.
So
a
huge.
Thank
you
to
them.

day.
E
Yes,
thank
you
all
again.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
bring
our
team
before
you
today,
just
a
little
bit
of
history.
For
you,
our
team
is
less
than
a
year
old,
so
we're
super
excited
that
they've
had
the
opportunity
to
come
together
this
year,
especially
after
covid,
trying
to
get
kids
back
engaged
and
involved
in
activities,
but
our
team
is
less
than
a
year
old.
So
for
us
to
be
going
to
the
nationals-
and
our
very
first
year
is
extremely
exciting.
E
Has
headed
up
this
team
done
a
fabulous
job
getting
us
to
where
we
are
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
team,
really
quick
and
then
ask
our
kids
to
introduce
themselves.
Thank
you.
N
Morning,
mayor
pro
tem
honorable
council,
we're
here
we're
the
green
power
team
here
in
columbus
for
columbus
parks
and
recreation
f24
team.
That
basically
means
we
have
a
group
of
middle
school
age,
kids,
six
through
eight-
and
they
come
together.
They
build
up
a
car,
we
teach
them
the
concepts
of
engineering
aerodynamics
the
importance
of
getting
measurements
right,
which
has
been
a
struggle,
but
we're
all
we're
okay
now,
but
it's
been
a
really
great
time
as
holly
was
alluding
to.
N
We
didn't
really
get
started
until
after
labor
day
last
year,
so
we're
less
than
a
year
old.
This
is
our
first
year
doing
green
power.
I
didn't
even
hear
about
green
power
until
holly
and
mary
sherman
who's
been
a
great
supporter
of
us
over.
There
came
and
said:
hey
you're,
going
to
do
our
green
power
program.
N
Okay,
I
guess
I
will-
and
so
I
am
learning
just
as
much
as
the
kids
are
so
they've
been
really
great.
As
soon
as
you
know,
I
figure
out
hey.
This
is
what
we
need
to
do
they
go
and
they
do
it
they're
doing
all
the
hard
work.
I
just
make
sure
they
have
everything
they
need
all
the
tools,
all
the
parts
that
we
need,
because
things
break
down.
We
got
to
replace
them,
so
they're
learning
a
lot
of
great
concepts
that
they
wouldn't
learn
in
a
normal
classroom
setting,
which
is
really
great.
N
We
have
gone
to
three
races
so
far
this
year
we
first
had
the
santa
sprints
event
in
downtown
columbus
in
december
we
placed
fourth,
and
then
we
did
the
columbus
grand
prix,
which
is
by
the
civic
center.
That
was
in
february,
we
placed
fifth
and
then,
as
was
read
just
recently,
we
went
up
to
lagrange
georgia
just
about
a
month
ago
placed
second
in
our
division,
only
being
beaten
by
the
number
one
team
in
the
nation.
So
that
was
a
really
big
deal.
N
So
for
our
national
championship
race,
we
will
be
at
the
talladega
speedway
that
will
also
be
on
may
21st.
We
have
two
heats
on
the
schedule
right
now.
One
at
11
am
and
one
at
4
pm.
So
you
can
go
kids
at
the
park
day
in
the
morning
and
then
you
can
drive
just
a
couple
hours
away
and
you
can
see
us
race
in
the
afternoon,
so
you
can
do
both.
It
can
be
done,
but
I
do
want
to
introduce
some
of
our
team
here.
Not
all
of
our
team
is
here.
N
The
ones
we
have
here
are
mostly
are
ones
that
are
in
charge
of
presentation
which
they
did
really
good
job
for
our
last
race.
It
is
more
than
just
racing.
It
is
also
about
telling
how
much
you've
learned
what
you
know
about
the
car,
what
you've
learned
about
the
technology,
so
I
want
them
to
come
up
and
introduce
themselves
by
name.
So
you
can
see
some
of
our
kids.
T
My
name
is
edward
o'bowner
and
I
reached
the
car
and
and
and
I'm
in
the
pits
too,
and
I
help
prepare
the
presentation.
Sometimes.
E
So,
as
you
guys
can
hear,
obviously
it's
more
than
just
racing
from
hearing
use
of
the
students
speak.
It's
about
the
presentation,
the
presentation
they
get
points
for
that,
just
like
they
do
the
racing,
and
so
what
a
lot
of
times
helps
teams
like
ours
that
are
brand
new
is
our
presentation,
skills
which
are
important.
It's
going
to
be
important
for
these
students
in
the
time
to
come
when
they
have
to
do
public
speaking
or
they
apply
for
a
job
and
go
for
an
interview.
E
So
this
program
is
more
than
just
about
getting
outside
and
racing
a
car.
It's
the
engineering
skills,
the
science
and
math,
as
our
coach
alluded,
making
sure
all
that
comes
together,
and
then
your
presentation
just
adds
to
that.
So
that's
where
your
points
come
in
and
how
the
students
score
so
very
important
for
us.
We
think
it's
a
great
program
for
the
city
of
columbus
and
for
our
students
for
today
and
tomorrow
and
for
jobs
here
in
the
city
of
columbus
for
the
future.
E
As
companies
look
to
go
places,
we
want
columbus
to
be
that
place
for
them,
especially
when
it
comes
to
our
students
and
their
ability
to
have
a
background
in
engineering
stem
and
magnet
or
math
type
skills.
So,
thank
you
all
for
letting
us
come
this
morning.
We
appreciate
it
and
we're
super
excited
hope.
Everybody
will
cheer
these
kids
on
next
weekend
when
they
go
to
race
in
talladega.
B
You
all
so
much
for
for
all
your
leadership,
holly
and
and
the
team
that
you
put
together
and
the
young
people
here
today
they
did
a
great
job
communication,
giving
them
a
variety
of
things
to
do
other
than
just
play
ball.
I
mean
that
get
out
in
the
playground.
The
skill
sets
great
for
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
I
D
U
This
is
going
to
be
a
great
endeavor
for
our
kids
as
far
as
the
engineering
technology
program,
future
jobs,
but
also
their
ability
to
put
together
the
presentations
for
their
writing
skills
and
presentation
skills,
and
for
those
that
don't
understand,
I
think
it's.
U
U
I
I'm
always
coming
to
you
with
more
ideas
with
the
team
of
people
that
I
work
with.
So
thank
you
and
everyone
that
works
with
you
and
I
look
forward
to
you
all
bringing
home
the
trophy.
Thank
you.
N
So,
unlike
most
teams,
we
are
not
based
in
a
single
school.
I
have
kids
from
all
over
the
city.
Some
are
in
some
of
the
nearby
public
schools.
Some
of
them
are
homeschooled,
so
a
lot
of
them
don't
know
each
other
or
haven't
met
each
other
before
joining
this
team,
so
they've
all
become
fast
friends.
It's
been
a
great
experience.
N
E
Councilor
thomas,
I
just
have
to
say
we
are
the
only
team
that
we
know
of
that
is
operated
in
the
way
we
are
so
most
of
the
teams
that
we
compete
with.
They
do
this
as
their
daily
class,
so
they
have
a
class
in
their
school,
whatever
grade
they're
in
on
stem
or
engineering,
and
so
they
take
that
class
all
year
long.
So
obviously,
if
they
have
that
much
time
to
devote
every
day
in
a
classroom,
they're
always
going
to
be
a
lot
stronger.
E
So
that's
what
makes
our
team
even
more
special,
because
our
kids
are
comprised
of
all
over
the
city
of
columbus,
not
just
one
school
or
not.
Just
one
area.
We
represent
the
city
of
columbus
and
the
parks
and
rec
department
here
here
in
columbus,
and
so
we
feel,
like
our
team,
is
more
special
than
anyone
else,
we're
a
little
biased
in
that
way.
E
V
You
good
morning,
good
morning,
thank
you
to
the
coach
and
to
holly
director.
V
V
E
Ma'am,
that's
the
thing
about
it.
Parks
and
recreation
is
not
just
sports.
A
lot
of
people
think
that
that's
just
all
we
do,
but
not
every
child
plays
sports.
Every
kid
is
different.
Every
kid
has
different
interests,
backgrounds,
etc,
and
so
this
is
another
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
support
that
for
kids
to
have
that
opportunity.
E
E
But
now
the
student
that
reached
out
is
a
high
school
student
and
there's
a
high
school
division,
and
so
we
would
love
to
be
able
to
fund
a
high
school
team
as
well
and
so
and
do
it
in
the
same
same
facet
same
way.
We
don't
have
to
have
a
school
team,
we
can
have
a
team
of
the
community
and
so
I've
actually
sent
an
email
back
to
that
young
man
and
said:
hey
reach
out
to
us
it's
a
little
too
late
for
this
year,
but
we'll
start
working
on
next
season.
E
So
we
would
love
to
have
you
please
reach
out
to
us
and
we'll
get
you
on
the
team.
If
that's
something
you
want
to
do,
we
do
have
an
application
process.
It's
just
like
anything
else.
We
making
sure
that
everybody's
a
good
fit
but
overwhelmingly
it's
just
about
getting
the
students
engaged
and
involved
and
active
in
activities
here
in
the
community,
regardless
of
what
their
interest
is
and,
as
you
can
see,
there's
a
lot
of
different
jobs.
The
young
man
who
stood
up
and
told
you
he's
a
driver.
E
Well,
yeah,
it's
important
that
we
have
a
driver,
but
it's
also
just
as
important
that
we
have
the
person
behind
the
camera
taking
photos
or
doing
their
powerpoint
presentation
or
video
or
whatever
else.
Every
job
is
essential
when
it
comes
to-
and
I
think
about
the
city
we
have
so
many
different
jobs,
and
it's
the
same
as
with
your
team.
V
E
V
To
say
to
you
and
coach
and
to
the
young
people:
congratulations
it's
great
to
see
this
and
hear
this.
Unfortunately,
I
won't
be
able
to
attend
that's
the
day,
we're
celebrating
my
mom's
life,
my
mom
passed
her
in
covet
and
we
weren't
able
to
bury
her
or
celebrate
or
anything
and
we're
finally
going
to
come
together
as
a
family
to
do
it.
So
I
apologize
if
it
wasn't
for
that
I'll
spend
the
whole
day
with
you
guys,
because
I
think
it's
so
cool.
V
But
let
me
are
you
going
to
put
it
on
facebook
or
anything
like
that,
and
I
can
watch
it
later.
E
Yes,
I'm
sure
we
will
I'm
sure
that
if
you
go
out
to
our
last
race,
there
was
video
that
they
were
able
to
capture
and
post
as
well
as
pictures
of
the
day.
So
absolutely
we
we
try
to
do
a
really
good
job
of
that,
because
we
understand
not
everyone
can
make
the
trip.
So
yes,
ma'am.
W
Here
we
go.
Thank
you
mayor
pro
tem
and
council.
It's
my
pleasure
to
read
this
proclamation,
and
this
proclamation
reads
thusly.
It
says,
whereas,
since
december,
the

1972
columbus
technical

vocational
education

W
X
Thank
you.
All
I
mean
council
has
always
been
such
a
great
support
to
the
ems
community
and
just
us
providing
that
education
to
honor
in
the
first
place,
and
I
kind
of
wrote
down
a
lot
of
folks
because
it's
it's
a
great
support
that
we
get
from
everybody.
It's
a
big
team.
I
mean
pops
barnes.
I
can't
tell
you
throughout
all
the
career
ems,
how
much
he's
done
for
us,
even
when
I
was
with
the
fire
department
so
and
he's
just
continuing
that
on
our
part
at
columbus
tech.
X
Just
let
you
know
our
our
faculty
and
staff
is
such
a
great
support.
It's
martha
antioch
she's,
our
president,
but
camille
hands
lisa
our
assistant
president
matt
dennis
is
our
dean.
We
also
have
betsy
bishop
over
there
taking
patient
pictures.
She
sends
out
all
the
public
announcements
that
we
can
get.
X
You
know
we're
trying
to
get
people
in
the
community
who
know
what
we
offer
there
and
we
offer
a
lot
through
the
programs
and
plus
we're
working
real
well
with
the
with
the
different
departments
here
and
there's
several
ems
services
here,
columbus
fire
department
works
well
with
us
and
all
the
other
services
just
not
to
leave
them
out.
Our
instructors
are
paula
carter,
frank
perez
lynn,
ehrenheim,
melissa,
gordy,
greg,
garner
tyler
goods,
shannon
winkle,
nate
delgado
and
daniel
sparks
all
those
it's
a
great
team.
X
I
mean
it's
a
team
that
has
to
be
put
together
to
teach
future
ems
providers.
You
know
because
the
way
I
tell
the
students
is
I'm
not
getting
any
younger
and
when
I
look
up,
I
want
to
see.
Oh
that's
one
of
my
students,
that's
great,
so
two
of
my
students
now
are
supervisors
over
me
and
harris
county,
so
that
must
say
something
I'm
proud
of
them.
But
this
is
our
president.
Let
her
talk
soon.
Y
Thank
you
that
was
gary
metcalf,
who
is
our
program
director
at
columbus
technical
college?
We
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
the
support
of
the
city,
the
city
council,
all
of
our
legislators.
There
are
a
number
of
them
here
today,
our
state
representatives
and
senators
and
our
local
board
members.
There
are
a
number
of
those
in
the
audience
and
on
the
council
tables
too.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
support
the
community
gives
to
columbus
technical
college
for
the
fire
and
ems
program
and
all
the
programs
that
we
offer
send
us
some
students.
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
you
do
martha
and
todd.
We
appreciate
you
being
in
columbus
and
the
the
leadership
you're
displaying
at
columbus
tech.
We
thank
all
you
all
those
here
would.
Would
you
like
to
come
up
and
introduce
yourselves
again
just
for
the
record.
S
S
AB
W
Many
gems
that
we
have
here
in
columbus,
georgia
is
columbus
technical
college.
I
I
was
really
amazed
when
I
went
through
with
gary
and
and
dr
dennis
and
all
that
they
have
they.
I
mean
it's
just
mind-blowing
mind-boggling,
the
technology
that
they
have
nowadays
to
teach
our
nursing
students
and
they
have
the
only
three
semester.
Correct
me
up
my
wrong
three
semester
registered
nursing
program
now
to
cover
everything
in
nursing
in
three
semesters.
W
Every
student
there
has
to
be
exceptional
because
trust
me,
I
know
just
how
difficult
nursing
school
can
be
so
to
be
able
to
do
it
in
three
semesters
is
just
awesome
and
when
I
toured
the
labs
they
even
have
they
have
mannequins.
That
can
do
everything
that
we
can
they
breathe.
You
can,
if
you
want
to
check
their
pedo
puzzles
in
the
in
the
feet.
They
even
have
a
mannequin
that
gives
birth.
W
Now
you
want
to
see
something
that
blows
your
mind.
That
blows
your
mind,
and
so
it's
one
of
the
gems
and
and
dr
dennis,
if
I
could
just
have
you
just
come
here
and
just
mention
so
because
the
community
needs
to
know
about
this,
and
you
want
to
know
something.
A
school
like
columbus
tech
gave
me
my
my
beginning,
an
opportunity
to
to
move
forward
in
upward
mobility
and
contribute
more
to
the
community.
But
would
you
just
speak
on
some
of
the
allied
health
of
careers
that
you
have.
AA
Again,
thank
you
pop
barn.
We
have
dental
hygiene.
We
have
respiratory
therapy
with
surgical
technology,
of
course,
nursing
diagnostic
medicinography,
paramedic
paramedicine
pharmacy
technology.
I
mean
we've
got
a
a
gamut
of
allied
nursing
or
allied
health
programs
there.
But
our
big
thing
is
the
hands-on
like
was
talking
about,
was
simulation
and
we
want
our
students
to
be
able
to
do
everything
before
they
go
out
to
the
hospitals
and
do
their
clinicals.
AA
So,
with
the
support
of
the
president,
we've
bought
all
kinds
of
simulation,
mannequins,
augmented
reality
goggles,
so
I
mean
everything
we
can
do
for
the
students
to
get
them
prepared
for
what
they're
going
to
encounter
when
they
go
to
the
hospitals.
We
have
their
at
our
in
our
labs.
So
it's
a
great
opportunity,
a
great
learning
opportunity
for
our
students
in
the
community.
B
B
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
have
some
special
guests
here
today
that
it's
good
to
see
some
familiar
faces
and
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you
all
do
for
columbus,
georgia.
The
legislative
delegation
is
here,
and
I
think
representative
calvin
smyre
is
going
to
brief
us
on
the
legislative
legislature
for
this
session
this
year.
O
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
pro
tem
allen,
it's
great
to
be
here
and
and
to
see
the
members
of
the
city
council.
This
is
members
of
the
city
council
to
the
city
attorney
to
the
city
manager,
and
it's
a
delight
to
be
here
this
morning.
My
colleagues
are
here
with
me.
They
say
I'm
on
my
own
today,
because
this
is
my
last
time
but
chairman
richard
smith,
representative
carolyn,
hugley,
chairman
senator
ed
harbison,
representative
van
smith
and
senator
randy
robinson
and
david
buckner
wanted
to
be
here
but
she's
out
of
town
today.
O
And
then
they
work
with
me
over
the
years
and
I
work
with
them
and
we've
had
a
great
relationship
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so,
and
this
is
my
17th
time
since
2005
when
I
became
chair
of
the
delegation
and
and
I'm
honored
to
be
here
today,
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
all
the
people
that
come
up
that
y'all
on
it
this
morning,
especially
those
in
healthcare
and
then
the
and
then
the
park
and
rec.
O
They
all
do
such
a
tremendous
job,
the
city's
young
people
here
and
that's
what
it's
all
about,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
citizens
of
columbus
who
are
tuning
in
today
for
allowing
me
to
serve
them
for
48
years
and
the
georgia
house
of
representatives.
I'm
deeply.
Oh,
I
ain't
done
mr
mayor.
Sorry.
O
I've,
given
you
all
a
little
rough
draft
of
what
we
or
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
here,
please
just
hold
these
and
we're
going
to
email
them
to
you
in
a
very
corrective
form.
Now
some
some
some
typos
and
things
that
we
have
to
correct.
But
I
do
want
to
say
I
enjoy
working
with
with
clifton
faye
and
lucy
shefstall
and
members
of
your
staff
there
and
we
we
attempted
to
do
something
about
the
18
items
that
you
all
sent
us
and
I'm
not
going
to
drill
very
heavy.
O
I'm
going
to
do
them
very
very
quickly
in
that
it's
a
lot
to
talk
about,
and
but
the
first
one
is
the
county
special
local
options:
sales
tax
maintenance
reserve.
O
O
We
thought
about
a
resolution,
but
the
delegation
will
support
the
position
of
the
city
council.
So
we
we
were
standing
firm
and
as
it
relates
to
that
matter,
the
update
and
redefining
the
healthcare
purposes
for
the
healthcare
levy
of
up
to
three
meals
of
avalorum
tax.
That
was
something
that
was
introduced
and
that's
something
that
I
had
a
lot
of
discussion
with
the
city
manager
and
the
and
the
city
attorney.
O
We
were
able
to
get
house
bill,
1418
passed
that
we
were
told
that's
a
major
issue
for
the
city
of
columbus,
as
it
relates
to
health
care
and
indigent
care,
and
the
the
levy
of
additional
meals
of
property
tax,
so
house
bill
1418
was
introduced
by
the
delegation
that
passed
both
the
house
and
senate
and
has
been
signed
by
the
governor
so
that
that
is
one
that
we
were
able
to
get
across
the
finish
line,
the
the
the
one
dealing
with
the
reschedule
of
the
2022
primary.
O
O
Funding
for
behavioral
health,
addictive
disease
and
developmental
disability-
that
is
a
budget
item,
we're
going
to
continue
to
keep
working
in
the
arena
of
health
care
and
disabilities
and
physical
and
mental
health
and,
of
course,
this
session.
Under
the
leadership
of
speaker
david
ross,
we
passed
the
most
sweeping
mental
health
reform
that
the
state
has
seen
and
that's
something
I
want
to
commend
the
members
of
the
delegation
for
their
their
effort
in
passing
that
that's
probably
one
of
the
most
significant
pieces
of
legislation
that
we've
passed
in
a
long
long
time.
O
That
is
elevating
mental
health
to
the
same
position
of
physical
health
and
putting
money.
I
think
somewhere
near
100
million
dollars,
went
into
into
the
mental
health
reform,
and
that's
that's
something
that
we
are
all
very
proud
of.
As
a
state
and
as
a
delegation
designation
of
the
week
of
september
11th
as
public
safety
week,
we
we
were
able
to
pass
that
particular
piece
of
legislation.
O
Of
course,
september
11th
is
is
a
day
that
we
all
that's
etched
in
the
mind
of
all
americans
and
I
think,
that's
very
appropriate
for
for
us
to
do
that,
and
and
in
doing
that,
the
bill
to
create
the
juneteenth
and
when
I
called
the
city
manager
about
this,
he
he
made
me
realize
that
columbus
already
observed
juneteenth
as
a
holiday.
But
now,
with
with
this
public
safety
bill,
the
governor
wanted
to
establish
another
state
holiday
which
will
increase
from
12
to
13
state
holidays
and
now
juneteenth.
O
As
a
part
of
of
that
bill
house,
bill
1335
has
been
signed
into
law
and
I
was
able
to
visit
with
the
governor
and
that
bill
was
signed.
Where
now
we
will
have
the
public
safety
week
and
juneteenth
state
holiday
as
well
adoption
of
a
statewide
non-discrimination
ordinance,
that's
something
that
you
all
have
dealt
with.
O
Dealing
with
a
non-discrimination
audience
I
had
a
lot
of
talk
with
our
legal
counsel
about
that
and
discussed
with
the
city
turned
in
depth,
and
we
thought
about
creating
a
possible
study
committee
to
look
at
this
issue,
but
the
budget
I
mean
the
legal
counsel
felt
that
that
was
something
that
was
would
take
some
time
and
we
just
didn't
create
many
study
committees,
this
legislative
session,
and
so
we
forego
that
and
that's
something
that
can
be
looked
at
in
2023.
O
Well,
I
heard
the
rules
chairman
said
something
about
that.
You
see,
I
have
to
talk
to
the
ruth's
chair
when
we
talk
about
study
committees.
Of
course
they
do
have
to
go
through
rules
so,
but
that's
something
that
somebody
else
will
be
dealing
with
in
2023.
O
medical
assistant
program,
assistant
senior,
that
is
another
state
budget
item,
and
but
we
introduced
and
referred
the
bill
to
health
and
human
services.
There
was
nothing
done
as
it
relates
to
that
and
I've
been
we've
been
working
with
the
state
department
in
that
regard,
and
but
the
bill
received
no
hearing
the
treatment
of
care
of
georgia's
abuses
and
neglected
children
residential
settings.
O
That
is
another
budget
item
and
that's
something
that
we
will
continue
to
look
at:
trying
to
increase
the
premium
funding
appropriate
to
the
state
of
georgia.
That
was
a
small
predim
increase
and
we
will
continue
to
work
on
that
and
getting
that
adjusted
as
accordingly,
sales,
tax
accountability
and
transparency,
user
safeguard
point
of
sales
contact
data,
that's
something
that
we
have
been
working
with
you
all.
For
a
long
time.
O
The
department
revenue
representative,
baltimore
and
representative
hugo
have
had
a
lot
of
dialogue
with
them
and
we
will
continue
to
have
the
dialogue
with
the
department
of
revenue,
but
they
they
tell
us
all
the
time.
That
is,
information
that
is
already
available,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we
will
continue
to
have.
Dialogue
on.
On
the
point
of
sales
data
opposed
preemption
of
regulation
of
pet
sales
by
local
government.
O
The
delegation
took
a
position
that,
if
that
came
up,
we
would
oppose
it
as
well,
but
nothing
came
along
in
that
arena
so,
but
we
did
take
a
position
to
oppose
that.
Based
on
the
resolution
that
we
received
from
the
city
council,
personal
care
homes-
and
we
know
that
this
is
something
that
you
all
deal
with
all
the
time
representative
heugley
has
been
involved
in
that,
in
fact,
she
had
a
town
hall
on
that
subject
matter
with
the
muscogee
county
school
board
and
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
at.
O
That
is
a
statewide
measure.
A
bill
was
introduced
by
the
delegation
house,
bill
694.
It
was
introduced
and
referred
to
health
and
human
services,
and
there
was
no
hearing
held
on
that
particular
legislation,
public
utilities
and
public
water
system
reservoirs.
There
were
several
meetings
held
to
look
at
this
issue.
Representative
buckner
and
representative
van
smith
worked
with
the
georgia
power
and
met
with
them
on
several
occasions
and
also
had
meetings
with
epa
to
discuss
the
runoff
on
construction
sites.
O
So
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
at,
but
this
time
no
legislation
was
created,
attempted
to
be
introduced,
residential
drug
abuse,
treatment,
centers,
that's
something
that
y'all
requested
us
to
look
at
statewide
legislation
that
would
require
a
prompt
notification
of
county
and
city
police.
We
think
that
is
something
that
we
need
to
continue
to
look
at.
We
did
introduce
a
bill,
it
was
introduced
and-
and
last
session
referred
to
health
and
human
services,
and
there
was
no
hearing
hell
on
that.
O
O
The
department
has
told
us.
They
have
legislative
options
to
do
that
through
the
administrative
procedure
act,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
monitor
as
well
a
casino
again
gaming
referendum.
The
senate
passed
something
in
their
wisdom
and
they
sent
us
senate
resolution
135.
O
O
We
were
going
to
be
doing
that
to
increase,
hope,
scholarship
funding,
but
that's
something
that
will
always
probably
be
contentious
in
the
georgia
general
assembly,
and
that
is
a
constitutional
amendment.
Creating
the
avenue
to
have
sports
betting
and
casinos
of
designated
resorts
throughout
the
city.
Theatrical
performance
requested
logical
delegation.
This
is
something
to
reduce
the
spending
threshold
from
half
a
million
to
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
for
for,
for.
Z
O
And
theatrical
performances,
that's
something
that
council
judy
thomas
had
mentioned
to
us
and
you
all
had
mentioned,
and
we
tried
as
hard
as
we
could.
We
we
passed
a
bill.
We
had
house
bill,
718
that
was
introduced
and-
and
we
came
back
that
was
in
2021
and
we
came
back
and
with
the
help
of
some
members
of
the
ways
and
means
committee
of
the
house,
chairman
blackman
and
chairman
williamson,
we
we
were
able
to
introduce
in
I
mean
house
bill
1330.
O
We
got
it
past
the
house
to
the
lord
of
threshold,
because
the
river
center
threshold
now
is
half
a
million
dollars
and
and
of
course,
the
only
person
organization
that
could
could
realize
any
benefits
from
that
would
be
the
fox,
theater
and
and
holding
events,
something
like
a
hamilton.
That
requires
a
lot
of
outlay
of
capital.
But
but
we
wanted
to
pass
this
badly
for
our
columbus
out
of
the
jewel.
O
We
have
at
the
columbus
river
center
so
that
they
could
have
the
theatrical
performance
and
be
able
to
get
this
tax
credit
as
well,
and
it
passed
the
house
and
we
just
could
not
get
it
through
the
senate.
O
There
was
a
lot
of
issues
dealing
with
transferability
on
the
licensures
and
things
of
that
nature,
and
we
just
could
not
work
out
our
differences
between
the
house
and
the
senate
and,
of
course
it
failed
in
the
senate,
and
I
hope
that's
something
that
the
delegation
will
continue
to
push
and
hope
we
can
get
that
passed.
So
our
own
river
columbus
river
center
can
can
bring
these
productions
and
get
the
tax
credit
as
well.
O
O
We
feel
the
sentiment
of
helping
you
all
broad
as
your
local
application
and
your
local
governance,
because
we
know
that
this
is
the
issue
not
only
in
columbus
but
across
the
state,
and
we
hear
it
all
the
time,
and
hopefully
that
is
something
that
we
can
continue
to
look
at
and
assist
our
local
governments
as
it
as
it
relates
to
the
operation
of
these
coin
operating
machines
that
are
that
are
in
our
convenience
stores
and
in
places
of
business.
O
So
those
were
the
items
that
that
you
all
brought
to
us-
and
I
do
want
to
mention
a
couple
others,
because
military
retiree
pay
is
is
a
major
most
of
you
all
were
at
the
signing
with
the
governor
as
it
relates
to
military
retiree
pace.
But
richard
smith
and
ed
harbison
have
been
working
on
that
for
so
long
and
in
fact,
congressman
bishop
had
introduced
a
bill
when
he
was
in
the
state
legislation.
O
I
want
to
commend
both
of
them
for
their
effort
and
we've
had
bills,
and
you
all
it's
been
the
new
york's
legislative
delegation
package
to
us
for
many
many
years
and
those
two
have
been
working
very
very
hard
to
to
get
that,
and
now
it
comes
to
fruition.
It's
been
such
a
steep
hill
because
of
the
the
the
the
budget
hold
that
it
creates.
O
We
had
to
have
the
cash,
maybe
150
million
dollars,
and
we
were
able
now
to
do
that
and
and
and
it
will
be
so
helpful
to
the
citizens
of
columbus
georgia
and
to
our
community,
because
it
is
an
incentive
to
keep
people
in
columbus
and
for
them
not
to
move
to
a
contiguous
state
where
they
are
afforded
retirement
pay.
O
So
that's
that's
another
item
and
then
last
item
I
want
to
mention
is
the
funding
for
the
mercy
university,
and
I
want
to
thank
richard
smith
and,
of
course,
the
late
pete
robinson
for
their
effort.
In
doing
that,
I've
been
told
that
when
you
establish
a
medical
school
in
your
community,
you
have
a
campus,
it's
transformational
and-
and
that's
that's
what
I
think
the
mercer
school
of
medicine
brings
to
columbus,
and
I
want
to
thank
late,
pete,
robinson
and
senator
robinson
and
and
richard
smith
for
that
and
the
entire
columbus
delegates.
O
O
And
the
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
that
psychiatric
care
we've
been
that's,
that's
a
major
issue
in
our
community
and
we
were
able
to
put
some
funding,
and
you
all
have
asked
for
this
in
prior
legislative
delegation
request
for
us
to
put
money
in
inside
traffic
care,
and
we
put
some
funding
in
for
the
the
bradley
center
and
to
assist
saint
francis
hospital
in
their
in
their
efforts
to
to
to
to
deliver
those
types
of
services.
O
And
so
I
wanna
I
wanna
thank
the
members
of
the
delegation
of
representative
hubert
representative
van
smith,
representative
chairman
richard
smith,
senator
ed
harbeson
and
senator
robinson
again
and
representative
buckner
for
the
dynamic
job
they
did.
This
was
a
a
tough
legislative
session.
We
we
are
back
on
the
floor
of
the
house
now
under
the
covet
guidelines.
O
We
we've
been
scattered
in
three
locations
in
the
capitol,
but
we
felt
some
sort
of
of
kinship
this
time
to
be
able
to
operate
in
and
there's
nothing
anything
else,
not
just
such
as
normalcy,
but
as
far
as
normalcy
that
we
could.
We
could
get
under
under
the
conditions
and
something
that
we
have
to
continue
to
live
with
on
the
covet
and
and
the
pandemic.
O
O
But
yet
we
try
to
be
collective
and
be
deliberate
in
how
we
conduct
ourselves
as
it
relates
to
the
citizens
of
columbus
georgia
and
how
we
try
to
try
to
conduct
our
business
in
a
very
civil
in
a
civility
way.
So
again,
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
the
city
manager
for
his
efforts
and
all
that
he
does
for
the
city
and
the
citizens
of
columbus,
and
I
could
not
leave
this
part
in
what
I
think
in
clifton
faye.
He
has
been
yeoman.
O
He
talks
quite
often
to
the
our
our
legislative
and
legal
counsel,
he
and
lucien,
and
I'm
just
honored,
and
to
be
able
to
work
with
him
to
be
able
to
try
to
do
things
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
columbus
georgia.
In
fact,
that's
what
we
all
try
to
do
is
try
to
plant
seeds
to
trees
for
the
shade
we
may
never
see.
So
that's
that's
what
we
all
should
be
doing
as
public
officials
and
trying
to
to
uplift
others
and
try
to
provide
a
better
quality
of
life.
AC
Well,
I
dare
say
that
some
of
the
seeds
you
planted
are
already
fully
grown
trees
after
40
years
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
folks
enjoying
that
shade,
and
we
appreciate
you
as
an
individual,
but
I
will
tell
you
and
I'll
tell
the
whole
delegation
that
what
you
just
touched
on
is
a
real
source
of
pride
for
this
community,
and
that
is
the
way
our
delegation
presents
themselves
in
a
unified
way
when,
when,
when
they're
doing
the
work
of
the
people
of
this
community-
and
it
again,
it
makes
us
exceptionally
proud
to
live
to
live
in
in
this
in
this
region.
AC
Because
of
the
way
you
do
your
your
jobs
and
we
we
thank
you
and-
and
we
we're
frankly
very
grateful
that
the
delegation
always
finds
time
to
come
and
and
give
us
a
brief
update,
not
just
council,
but
the
citizens
of
columbus
georgia
who
are
watching
this
as
well,
and
that's
that's
significant.
The
transparency
that
that
you,
as
a
delegation,
insist
on
and
we
assist
with,
is
critical.
I
think
to
to
to
continuing
to
help
you
do
what
you
do
for
the
citizens
of
this
community.
AC
AC
AC
For
for
the
way
you
have
you
have
represented
this
this
community,
and-
and
we
are
our
prayers-
go
with
you
wherever
your
road
may
lead.
I
think
we
know
where
it
leads,
and
you
probably.
O
Knocking
on
the
door-
and
I
want
to
thank
miss
johnson,
yasha
johnson
she's,
the
person
that
I
talk
with
and
that
I
I'm
connected
to
more.
You
know
I
talk
to
her
more
when
I
talk
to
city
man,
she
and
she
is
phenomenal.
She
does
a
great
job
and
I
thank
her
for
just
always
keeping
me
up
to
date.
O
The
older
you
get
the
more
your
memory
phase,
you
know
what
I
mean,
but
she
kind
of
helps
me
and
bring
me
back
to
reality,
but
but
so
I
want
to
thank,
I
don't
know
if
she's
here
or
not,
but
I
okay.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
that
you
do
and
and
then
we
want
to
congratulate
council
woman
for
your
service
members
of
delegation,
but
thank
you
for
your
service
on
the
council
and
wish
you
best
wishes.
L
Representative
schmeyer,
you
touched
on
the
funding
that
the
delegation
brought
back
for
the
mercer
school.
I
know
that
there
were
other
things
that
were
not
on
our
legislative
delegation,
but
that
the
the
our
representatives
are
brought
back.
L
Z
I
think
the
governor
is
going
to
sign
the
budget
tuesday,
I
mean
excuse
me
thursday,
right
now,
I
think
we
put
1.3
in
for
the
columbus
tech.
Z
She
told
me
the
other
day
she
expects
a
lot
more
of
this
next
budget,
but
we
had
to
get
the
process
started,
two
2.8
for
the
national
infantry
museum.
I
think
there
was
over
three
for
the
bradley
center
and
not
representative
schmeyer,
said
three
for
morehouse
and
then
for
mercer.
So
we
had
a
columbus
had
a
really
good
year
and
a
matter
of
fact.
We
had
an
outstanding,
but
year
in
the
legislature,.
L
Well,
we
certainly
do
appreciate
all
the
efforts
of
of
all
of
you
folks
to
bring
that
money
back
to
columbus.
It
will
be
well
spent
and
representative
smiry,
I'm
going
to
take
this
opportunity
to
add
my
thanks
to
you
for
your
years
of
service
in
the
legislature.
It's
it's
always
nice
to
know
that
if
you
need
somebody,
there's
somebody
there
you
can
call.
You
may
not
call
him
all
the
time
but
he's
there.
L
If
you
need
him-
and
I
really
appreciate
having
that
connection
with
you
and
with
the
rest
of
the
delegation
really-
and
I
wish
you
well
and
if
you
know
you
need
somebody
to
go
down
to
the
beach
and
you
know
we
could
probably
get
up
a
crowd.
So
thanks.
S
AD
AD
We
have
worked
on
a
heck
of
a
lot
of
local
legislation
over
30
years,
together,
back
and
forth,
some
of
it
critical
to
columbus,
like
the
second
penny
sales
tax
legislation
that
kept
our
momentum
going
and
this
year
the
health
care
funding
bill.
That's
going
to
be
critical
for
the
next
30
years,
but
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
and
thank
all
the
team
again
for
all
you
do
for
us.
AD
AE
AD
AC
V
Representative,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
those
well
wishes
for
me,
but
thank
you
for
all
you
have
done
from
the
moment.
I
have
was
elected
to
the
seat.
You
have
been
a
mentor
and
I
appreciate
that
we
always
didn't
agree,
but
we
respected
each
other's
opinion
and
you
helped
me
to
grow
to
be
who
I
am
today,
and
I
appreciate
that
from
the
bottom
of
heart
and
for
judy
I'm
sorry
judy.
I
speak
spanish,
I'm
being
his
translator,
I'm
going
to
the
beach
because
I'll
be
retired.
AF
B
Thank
you,
mayor
representative,
calvin
smiry.
We
go
back
a
long
time
and
it's
been
a
pleasure.
I
know
we've
been
on
opposite
sides
politically
a
few
times,
but
more
recently,
we've
walked
arm
and
arm
and
trying
to
accomplish
a
lot
for
columbus
and
my
hat's
off
to
you
for
all
you've
done
in
your
leadership,
and
I
wish
you
the
best
going
forward.
If
there's
anything
else,
anything
I
can
do
in
the
future,
please
don't
hesitate
to
call
on
me.
Thank
you
for
your
friendship.
Thank
you.
AC
AG
AG
Through
the
years
I
mean
we
could
go
back
to
his
service
with
tom
buck
and
pete
robinson,
and
you
know
we
can
bring
the
whole
list
forward
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
even
today,
you're
working
with
chair
of
the
rules
that
little
small
committee
that
you
know
they
don't
do
very
much,
but
you
know,
but
but
representative
richard
smith,
we're
proud
of
him
as
well,
but
thank
you,
representative
smyrafar,
for
all
that
you
have
done
for
our
city,
and
I
know
that
you're
going
to
go
on
and
do
great
things
and
continue
to
represent
columbus
georgia.
AG
But
I
want
you
to
remember
one
thing
as
you
go
off
to
do
what
you're
about
to
do,
for
columbus
and
for
the
the
country.
If
you
see
a
turtle
sitting
on
a
fence,
I
want
you
to
remember
he
didn't
get
there
by
himself.
Congratulations!
Thank
you
very.
O
W
Representative
isaiah
stole
my
line.
I
wrote
it
down
here,
but
he's
thinking
faster
than
I
the
bible
says,
let
the
works
that
I
do
speak
for
me
and
you
have
truly
left
a
legacy
here
in
columbus.
Georgia.
You've
done
so
much
48
years
is
a
long
time
to
serve,
but
you
stayed
the
course
and
you've
done
so
much,
and
so
you
have
left
a
legacy.
W
I
I
I
appreciate
everything
that
you
have
done
for
me
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
to
the
point
where
you
welcomed
me
up
to
atlanta
and
let
me
go
to
john
lewis,
wake
for
me,
bringing
me
up
to
the
legislation
legislative
conference
and
introducing
me
to
so
many
other
great
leaders.
They
admire
you.
They
appreciate
you.
I
I
saw
just
so
much
like
a
whole
different
point
of
view
when
I
came
up
to
atlanta
and
was
able
to
hang
out
with
you
for
for
a
couple
of
days,
but
I
truly
appreciate
you
and
I'm
gonna
miss
you,
but
we
coming
to
the
beach.
AC
U
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
mayor
representative,
kevin
smyre,
the
dean
of
the
delegation.
Let
me
first
thank
you
for
your
service
and
the
rest
of
the
delegation
with
you
before
I
forget,
because
we
do
have
to
work
with
them
the
year
next
year
and
the
year
after.
Thank
you
to
the
entire
delegation
for
all
your
hard
work
and
everything
that
you've
done.
U
I
appreciate
the
comments
you've
made
about
the
rules
committee,
because
I've
had
conversations
with
representative
smith
over
the
years
and
he's
explained
to
me
how
things
work.
So
I
appreciate
that
that
that
in
at
that
end
that
listen
to
how
things
work
at
the
state
level,
but
on
your
part,
thank
you,
and
I
want
you
to
look
around
the
room
for
a
minute
and
think
about
this.
U
The
city
attorney
the
city
manager
and
myself
were
both
high
school
students.
When
you
were
elected
and
we
have
had
the
opportunity,
we
have
had
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
grow
with
you
and
grow
into
being
in
the
same
room
with
you
and
being
able
to
work
with
you
and
I'm
sure
we
all
possibly
the
city
attorney
had
an
idea
that
he
was
going
into
law,
but
I
don't
know
about
the
city
manager,
but
myself
had
no
idea
that
I'd
ever
be
an
elected
official
and
sitting
in
the
room
working
with
you.
U
So
I
appreciate
you
for
all
the
days
and
nights
that
we
spoke
about
many
different
issues
and
your
guidance
on
doing
things
the
proper
way
and
it's
the
proper
way
as
we
say,
is
the
columbus
way
the
delegation
sticks
together.
It's
always
been
one
voice
and
for
those
that
didn't
understand
it,
they
learned
it
fast.
So,
thank
you
so
very
much.
U
I
wish
you
very
well
on
your
endeavors,
please
reach
out
to
us
and
let
us
know
what's
going
on
and
while
everyone
wants
to
come
and
visit,
I
do
too,
but
as
as
mom
and
daddy
used
to
say,
reach
out
to
you
and
make
sure
you
you
extend
the
hospitality,
that's
a
good
time
to
come.
U
So
thank
you
so
much
god's
blessings,
god
speak.
If
you
need
anything
here,
you
always
know
you
can
give
us
a
call.
Thank
you.
O

you,

for
those

marks,

you'll

we
appreciate
his

as
well,
and
but
thank
y'all
for
those
kind
remarks.
AC
Well,
thank
you
for
the
manner
in
which
you
serve
the

We
we

I
I
will
say
somebody
we
were
talking
to
somebody
about
what
you
had
meant
to
this
community
and
we
started
recounting
all
of
the
different
initiatives
that
you
have
been
a
part
of,
and
I
said,
he's
he's
like
a
five-year-old

a
chocolate
bar.
His

so
he's.
We
appreciate
your
fingerprints
being
on
everything
in
this

helping
us
helping
us
grow
like
we
have
so.
Thank
you,

say
thank
you
very
much
for
your
hospitality,
your
professional
work
and
the
way
you
work
hard
for
the
city
of
columbus
and
and
the
work
you
do.
Sometimes.
I
know
it's
unappreciated,
but
you
got
people
like
myself
and
the
people
who
understand
how
tough
government
work
is.
We
appreciate
everything
you
do
and
finally,
for
my
dean
of
the
house
representatives
meyer,
we
certainly
appreciate
his
legacy
and
the
things
he's
going
to
do

prior

takes
on
a
lot
of
different
forms,
and
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
seen
recently
a
couple
of
stories
done
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over

I

or

AG
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Let
me
just
say
that
yesterday
I
was
watching
the
morning
news
and
saw
a
story
by
ashley
williams
from
wtvm
news
about
uptown
development,
and
I
mentioned
it
to
the
mayor
and
may
approach
him
yesterday
and
knew
that
the
president
ceo
of
the
chamber
was
coming,
and
so
I
asked
staff
if
they
would
pull
that
video
from
ashley
williams,
wtvm
news
about
uptown
development,
because
it
it
just
reminds
us
that
the
columbus
georgia
momentum
remains
strong.
AG
We
see
a
hotel
here,
hotel
there,
restaurant
here
a
whole
restaurant
there,
retail
park,
multi-family
development,
all
in
uptown,
and
the
list
goes
on
and-
and
I
thought
about
the
fact
that
the
civic
center
and
the
trade
center
has
they've
both
reported
to
us
in
recent
weeks,
as
we
know
that
their
bookings
for
events
and
conventions
have
exceeded
pre-pandemic
levels
at
both
the
civic
center
and
the
trade
center.
AG
Their
bookings
and
conventions
have
exceeded
pre-pandemic
level,
and
so
our
momentum
is
strong
and
this
is
exciting
for
columbus,
georgia
and
I'm
going
to
ask
that
they
roll
this
video
before
the

who
ashley

is
and
thank
you
for
your
awesome
reporting.

often
see
negative

this
is
a
story
about
the
uptown

AG
AL
AG
AM
Good
morning,
good
morning
you
know
this
clip
said
wwtvm,
but
I
want
to
tell
everybody
that
they're
watching
ccgtv.
AM
AM
We
actually
did
that
this
this
february
we
worked
with
about
35
small
businesses,
and
this
was
really
to
put
them
in
in
contact
with
resources
that
could
help
them
to
provide
information
and
training
on
various
things
that
support
businesses
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
We
anticipate
doing
another
one
either
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
this
year
or
in
the
first
quarter
of
next
year.
AM
We
just
to
go
back
just
a
quick
second
on
that
you
know
it
is
very
similar
to
the
small
business
roundtable
activity
that
we
had
been
doing
before
and
again
we're
looking
for
ways
to
continue
to
innovate.
This
we
want
to
engage
as
many
small
businesses
as
possible.
AM
There
are
in
columbus,
almost
9
000
business
licenses
and
with
our
our
finite
bandwidth
or
resources.
Again,
we've
got
to
be
really
creative
about
our
approach
and
how
we
how
we
try
to
get
to
as
many
businesses
as
possible.
We
also
execute
small
business
visits.
These
are
scenarios
where
we
go
and
work
with
businesses
one-on-one.
AM
We
try
to
understand
the
health
of
the
business.
We
try
to
make
sure
that
again
as
they
need
connections
or
act,
or
they
need
introductions
to
various
resources,
whether
it
be
sba
whether
it
be
score
or
other
resources,
we
try
to
make
sure
that
they
have
that
and
if
they're
ready
to
grow,
we
try
to
leverage
development
authority
and
chamber
resources
to
help
that
happen
too.
AM
We
executed
a
couple
of
small
business
pop-ups.
These
were
a
couple
of
scenarios
where
we
went
to
a
couple
of
locations
and
announced
two
small
businesses
that
we
would
be
there
and
you
can
just
come
and
you
can
meet
the
chamber.
You
can
meet
your
development
authority
team,
we're
again
fine-tuning
that
process
as
well,
but
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
reaching
businesses
in
every
corner
of
this
this
community.
AM
We
also
as
executed
the
4k
for
startups
program
in
2021.
That
was
a
program
that
targeted
entrepreneurs.
AM
We
executed
that
through
startup
columbus,
we
executed
the
startup
pitch
competition
and
we
we
awarded
the
winner
of
that
pitch
competition.
Fifteen
thousand
dollars
that
that
award
winner
also
happened
to
be
the
the
audience
favorite
in
terms
of
audience
choice
award,
so
they
got
an
additional
four
thousand
dollars.
AM
We
joined
the
mesh
network,
which
is
a
statewide
network
of
incubators
that
again
they
leverage
and
share
resources
to
help
and
support
small
businesses
as
well
and
just
a
fact.
We
don't
have
the
updated
number
for
march
and
april,
but
over
200
new
small
business
licenses
were
issued
in
january
and
february
of
this
year.
AM
AM
Also,
rent
and
utilities
are
included
in
that
workforce
development.
We
are
working
with
the
the
members
of
the
partners
in
education
program
to
innovate.
That
program
as
well
again,
we've
had
some
good
good
conversation
around
that
we've
got
a
new
small
business
manager
or
I'm
sorry,
workforce
development
manager
in
our
organization
connor
miller,
and
he
has
been
working
with
that
group
and
as
that
plan
gets
gets
baked
and
any
improvements
are
made
to
that
partners
in
education
program,
we'll
we'll
roll
that
out
and
make
sure
that
everybody
is
aware.
AM
But
again
that's
that
program
has
been
really
valuable
as
we
understand
from
businesses
and
the
school
district.
So
we
have
certainly
a
vested
interest
in
making
sure
that
that
continues
again
we're
building
a
workforce
development
plan
that
is
not
baked
yet,
but
as
soon
as
that
is,
we
will
bring
that
forth
and
make
sure
that
everybody
is
aware
of
it.
We've
been
supporting
truth
spring
and
construction
ready
in
their
endeavors
to
train
primarily
in
the
construction
trades
and
then
advancing
the
robotics
ecosystem.
AM
Again,
there
are
several
different
components
from
csu
and
columbus
tech.
All
the
way
to
fort
benning
that
have
interest
in
seeing
the
robotics
arena
continue
to
thrive
or
begin
to
thrive
in
columbus,
so
again
we're
working
to
advance
that
from
a
goal
standpoint,
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
is
six
thousand
direct
and
indirect
jobs
over
the
next
five
years.
AM
We
think
that
we
can
get
there.
We
know
that
that
will
have
a
substantial
impact
for
the
community.
We
are
also
trying
to
attract
new
chamber
members
500
new
businesses
in
the
next
five
years.
Again,
you
know
right
now:
we've
got
about
900
chamber
members
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
they're
about
9
000
business
licenses
now,
just
because
you're,
not
a
chamber
member,
I
want
to
be
clear-
does
not
mean
that
we
will
not
help
you.
AM
If
you
come
to
us
or
approach
us
and
ask
us
for
anything
whether
it's
understanding
how
you
can
get
a
business
loan
or
how
you
can
get
access
to
any
number
of
resources,
we're
not
going
to
tell
you
to
go
away,
we're
going
to
help
you.
So
again.
I
want
to
be
clear
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
try
to
grow
that
that
footprint
as
well.
AM
We
want
to
grow
the
awareness
of
columbus
outside
of
columbus.
That
is
really
primarily
related
to
the
columbus
2025
plan
and
our
economic
development
work,
and
in
doing
that,
what
we
intend
to
do
is
really
delve
into
a
marketing
campaign,
and
that
campaign
will
help
us
reach
places
outside
of
columbus.
AM
To
share
the
message
to
talk
about
the
good,
innovative
stories
to
talk
about
the
quality
of
life
and
good
culture
here
in
columbus,
to
not
just
businesses
but
also
to
workforce
and
to
tourists
again.
So
they
understand
that
columbus
is
a
place
that
they
want
to
come
so
again,
we'll
keep
moving
down
that
that
path
as
well
again.
Workforce
development
is
the
order
of
the
day,
and
I
don't
mean
that
in
a
flippant
way
right
now,
every
business
that
we
talk
to
is
having
some
challenge
or
another
with
with
workforce.
AM
So
that
is
top
of
mind,
and
that
is
something
that
we
hope
that
our
workforce
development
plan
helps
helps
us
to
address,
and
then
the
the
last
piece
of
that
that
set
of
goals
is
to
partner
regionally.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
everything
that
is
expected
under
the
guise
of
valley
partnership,
but
also
in
working
with
other
chambers
and
other
organizations.
AM
Again
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
the
needle
in
that
in
that
regard,
as
well
on
the
economic
development
front,
from
a
jobs
and
private
investment
standpoint,
I
want
to
paint
a
picture
and
the
picture
is
of
of
progress
that
we're
seeing
in
2020
january
2020
pre-pandemic
what
we
were
tracking
or
reporting
as
an
organization
was
roughly
a
pipeline
of
350
to
400
jobs
and
roughly
150
million
dollars
in
new
private
investment.
Now,
when
I
say
that
those
are
not
necessarily
opportunities
that
are
going
to
come
to
columbus,
those
are
opportunities
that
are
exploring
columbus.
AM
So
when
I
say
pipeline,
that's
what
I
mean
and
then
in
2021
we
saw
that
pipeline
grow.
That
pipeline
grew
to
roughly
500
million
dollars
in
private
investment
and
about
500
jobs,
and
as
of
our
last
board
meeting,
we
have
a
pipeline
of
private
investment
that
is
roughly
6
billion
and
about
6
500
jobs.
Now
again,
I
want
to
be
clear
that
that
is
not
a
scenario
that
means
that
every
one
of
those
jobs
is
going
to
come
to
columbus,
but
that
is
a
glimpse
of
what
we're
fighting
for.
AM
Those
are
the
scenarios
that
we're
in
front
of
companies
in
front
of
consultants
in
front
of
different
entities,
trying
to
say
or
trying
to
make
the
case
that
columbus
is
the
place
for
them
to
do
business
and,
as
you
can
see
over
the
last,
those
last
three
time
frames
that
growth
is
enormous
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that
and
as
we
grow
that
pipeline,
what
it's
also
going
to
do
is
enhance
the
the
the
likelihood
that
we're
actually
going
to
win
some
of
these
deals
so
stay
tuned
for
that,
as
we
continue
to
work
on
that,
keep
in
mind
also
in
the
development
presentation
that
we
saw
a
few
moments
ago,
there
are
a
few
others
city
mills,
the
ralston,
hotel,
indigo,
ac,
marriott
highland
highland
trace
the
hampton
inn.
AM
Those
are
all
good,
solid
projects
that
spent
millions
of
dollars
in
private
investment
and
they
kept
construction
workers
and
others
employed,
especially
during
during
the
pandemic.
Over
the
last
several
years,
we've
seen
several
companies
locate
or
expand.
Those
include
not.
This
is
not
a
comprehensive
list,
but
those
include
californians,
summit,
plastic,
hppe,
chairman's
foods
path,
tech,
kaiser,
warren,
aludine
and
income.
AM
And
again
we
continue
to
work
on
others.
I
want
to
give
a
statistic
that
most
people
aren't
aware
of,
and
it
is
that
70
of
all
new
jobs
in
your
community
come
from
companies
that
are
already
there
and
it
highlights
or
underscores
the
fact
that
we
have
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
we
support
businesses
that
are
already
here.
AM
That
is
all
I
have
and
I
want
to
well.
I
will
highlight
this
other
piece
on
the
economic
development
front.
It
is
the
three
main
main
reasons
that
we
see
projects
located
elsewhere,
that
we're
initially
competitive
for
are
proximity
to
85.
That's
been
a
scenario:
interstate
85:
they
are
port
driven.
So
again
the
company
is
trying
to
get
as
close
to
the
port
as
they
possibly
can
and
the
last
one
is
in
some
cases
not
all
not
all
cases,
but
in
some
cases
the
projects
are
looking
at
extremely
large
pieces
of
land.
AM
You
know
a
thousand
acres
or
more
and
we
don't
have
a
thousand
acre
site
to
market.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
we're
going
to
work
on
that.
We
have
been
working
on
that,
so
hopefully
that
will
will
decrease
as
it
relates
to
it
being
a
factor
in
us
getting
eliminated
from
some
opportunities.
So
again
I
will
stop
there.
But
again
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
council
and
the
city
manager.
We've
had
an
extraordinary
relationship
with
this
group
and
we
will
continue
to
grow
that
and
pam
hodge
and
her
team.
AM
I
would,
I
would
say
the
same
so
again.
Thank
you
all
for
that
and
we'll
answer
any
questions
with
me.
I've
got
brian
solido,
who
is
our
vice
president
of
partnership
and
I've
got
megan
richardson
who's
new
to
the
team,
she's,
the
head
of
economic
development.
So
again
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
V
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
I
appreciate
what
you
said.
I
had
two
questions
for
you
when
you
were
talking
in
the
beginning
about
the
small
businesses
that
you
were
touching
base
and
certain
programs
were
those
member
businesses
or
is
that
just
anyone
off
the
community
that
attended
those
actual
workshops.
AM
It's
any
business
there.
There
are
a
couple
of
scenarios
there
one
is
that
again
we're
trying
to
provide
value,
we're
obligated
to
provide
value
because
part
of
our
activity
is
publicly
funded.
So
from
an
economic
development
standpoint
we
will
work
with
any
business
in
the
community.
That's
just
so
so
they
were
not
restricted
to
just
chamber
members.
Okay,.
AM
V
When
you
have
your
next,
those
those
forms
and
those
programs,
could
you
let
me
know,
because
since
the
aarp
came
up
for
small
businesses,
I've
been
put
on
the
ground
and
I've
been
dealing
with
a
lot
of
mom-and-pop
businesses,
and
I
found
a
lot
of
issues
concerned.
I
found
a
lot
of
business
a
couple
businesses
that
were
actually
taken
advantage
of
by
you
know,
by
their
accountant
and
by
other
other
means
of
things.
E
V
Pops
that,
even
through
this
pandemic
and
even
the
way
the
economy
is
with
sweat
and
tears,
they're
still
in
business
and
thriving,
but
they
need
help
and
they
can't
afford
a
big
membership,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
once
you
build
that
respect
and
that
work
partnership
they'll
make
a
way
they'll
make
a
way
so
just
want
to.
If
you
can,
please
include
me
in
your
in
your
conversations
of
that,
because
I
think
this
is
something
I
want
to
do
when
I
retire
is
work
with
those
little
small
businesses
to
tell
them
hey.
V
This
is
where
money
is.
This
is
where
the
programs
are
get
your
niche
and
if
you
stay
in
the
store,
come
on,
let's
go.
AM
AM
So
we
translated
the
document
into
spanish,
but
again
it's
those
sorts
of
adjustments
that
we
have
to
be
sensitive
to,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
so
that
so
that
this
process
and
all
the
processes
that
we
engage
in
are
more
inclusive.
V
And
I
thank
you
for
that.
Josh
was
amazing.
He
went
with
me
to
a
couple
of
the
businesses
and
met
the
individuals
and
saw
the
struggles,
the
struggles,
and
he
heard
those
struggles
that
were
going
on
in
our
community
they're
silent,
like
the
silent
heroes,
the
silent
struggles-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
can
you
also
go
back
to
the
non-profit
funding?
How
much
did
you
say
that
it's
already
been
given?
It's.
V
Okay,
thank
you
so
much.
I
was
ill
for
a
little
while
so
I
kind
of
back
off,
but
I'm
back
in
it
and
that's
the
reason
why
I
want
to
work
closer
with
you
and
know
about
these
programs,
because
yesterday
itself
I
got
a
phone
call
from
a
small
business
and
they
had
an
issue
and
I
went
out
there
and
you
know
and
help
them
and
thanks
to
our
staff,
our
staff
is
amazing.
V
It
was
after
hours
and
the
staff
answered
the
phone
and
helped
myself
and
that
business
person
to
get
through
this,
and
that
was
yvonne.
She
really
helped.
She
was
fantastic.
I
called
her
and
said
yvonne.
I
have
a
problem.
How
can
I
do
this
and
it
was
after
hours
and
she
was
amazing.
She
told
us
the
direction
and
where
to
go
and
what
to
do.
P
Y
AM
Do
I
do
our
office
manager,
tiffany
newsome
is
latina
and-
and
she
does
speak
spanish.
V
I
I
want
to
first
say
thank
you.
Yes
ma'am.
I
actually
received
a
phone
call
from
trent
chester
from
chester's
barbecue
and
you
know
we
was
working.
Remember
I
came
down
and
met
with
you
and
he
was
like
get
me
some
business
owners,
and
that
was
one
of
the
individuals,
renzelle
buckner
and
so
many
other
folks,
but
he
said
thank
you
and
he
appreciate
the
work
that
you
all
have
done
and
also
us
as
a
council
for
approving
these
dollars.
Mr
runzell
buckner
asked.
Could
somebody
call
him
I've.
AM
I
P
I
Yes,
but
he
also
said
to
to
tell
josh
beard
thank
you
and
you
all
for
the
work
that
you've
done
and
as
councillor
wood
woodson
said,
it
did
take
a
lot
of
work
because
we
wanted
to
get
to
those
disadvantaged
businesses
that
really
truly
needed
to
help
those
mom
and
pops,
and
for
the
time
that
you
all
spent
doing
one-on-ones
going
like
one
business
at
a
time
and
for
us
to
allocate
2.2
million
dollars
to
small
business
owners
at
40
000
each.
You
know
up
to
that
amount.
That's
a
lot
of
work.
I
D
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
It's
very
interesting.
You
mentioned
why
business
doesn't
choose
columbus,
georgia
and
you
had
three
points
and
I
got
two
of
them.
I
the
proximity
to
I-85
and
then
large
parcels
of
land
and
what
was
the
other
one.
So.
AM
AC
AC
All
right
next,
we've
we've
got
another
update
and
he's
been
waiting
patiently,
and
I
want
to
thank
him.
We
also
really
wanted
to
introduce
you
to
the
west
region.
Vice
president
of
georgia,
power
doug
jenkins,
is
with
us
going
to
give
us
a
little
bit
of
an
update
kind
of
a
a
shorter
version
of
I
think
of
what
he
presented
to
the
smart
growth
group
and
heard
wonderful
things
about
it
and
invited
him
here
to
to
chat
with
us.
AC
First
of
all,
welcome
to
council
and
it's
been
a
couple
of
months,
but
welcome
to
columbus
as
well.
Thank
you.
AN
Sir,
very
much
good
morning,
everybody
good
to
see
everybody.
A
good
welcome.
Thank
you
for
welcoming
me
here
here
today
and
it's
great
for
those
of
you
who
have
not
met
are
really
looking
forward
to
spend
time
with
you
over
the
over
the
next
several
months.
As
I
get
my
family
moved
down
here,
but
it's
an
honor
to
have
a
chance.
As
mayor
henderson
said,
and
he
did
stress
this
shorter
version,
I
heard
that.
AN
And
I
will
do
that,
but
but
really
wanted
to
take
this
chance
to
give
you
just
an
overview
of
some
of
the
big
energy
strategies
that
are
going
on
in
the
state
of
georgia,
that
impact
you
and
the
citizens
of
columbus,
and
so
that
you'll
be
aware
of
them
as
you're,
making
some
of
the
energy
decisions
here
in
the
city
going
forward.
AN
So
that's
that's
the
kind
of
purpose
of
today,
but
but
I
am
a
doug
jenkins,
georgia,
powers,
new
west
region
vice
president,
so
I
have
the
honor
to
run
our
operations
for
kind
of
the
western
half
of
the
state,
headquartered
right
here
in
columbus,
been
with
the
company
for
30
years.
Don't
start
trying
to
guess
my
age
from
that,
but
I
have
had
a
chance
to
work
in
a
lot
of
the
areas
of
the
state,
but
never
here
in
columbus.
AN
So
my
family
is
super
excited
for
the
chance
to
get
moved
down
here.
My
kids
are
now
understanding
how
fun
this
move
is
going
to
be
so
after
we
find
a
house
we're
really
going
to
be
looking
forward
to
get
to
get
moved
down
here.
So
a
lot
of
you,
I'm
going
to
move
forward
on
this
right
here,
are
familiar
with
georgia
power.
Is
there?
AN
Oh
here's
the
clicker
there
we
go
got
it
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
georgia
power
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
a
lot
with
our
company,
but
we
do
have
7
000
folks
out
there
working
across
the
state
every
day
and
they're
focused
on
on
having
a
safe,
reliable,
affordable
energy
system,
with
rates
14
below
the
national
average
and
extremely
high
customer
satisfaction.
AN
I
point
those
out
because
any
of
that
can
be
wiped
away
very
quickly
if
you're
not
constantly
innovating
and
listening
to
your
customers
right,
so
we
always
are
paying
attention
to
that.
So
that
brings
me
to
some
things.
I
want
you
to
be
aware
of
as
far
as
an
energy
strategy
that
we
have
got
proposed
in
front
of
the
state
right
now
and
some
of
it
some
pieces
of
it
were
actually
implementing
that
came
directly
from
customer
feedback.
AN
Three
things
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
talk
about
super
fast,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
our
integrated
resource
plan,
I'm
going
to
throw
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
words
at
you
here
today,
but
I
promise
you
I'll.
I
will
explain
what
they
mean,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
our
power
system,
investment
plan
and
our
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
plan
of
what
we're
doing
around
that
across
the
state,
and
I
know
we
were
able
to
recognize
some
of
the
students
this
morning
that
are
actually
working
on
some
of
those
ev
kits.
AN
So
you
see
that
actually
going
through
the
schools
and
a
lot
of
different
places,
I'm
going
to
touch
on
that
integrated
resource
plan.
All
right,
that's
a
a
fancy
term
where
we
get
together
every
three
years
and
we
talk
about
what
should
be
the
energy
supply
of
georgia
for
the
next
30
years.
All
right,
so
we
look
out
we
get
folks
together.
We
look
at
things
like
world
events.
We
look
at
supply
chain.
AN
AN
This
one
is
different,
all
right,
it's
very,
very
different
and
it
will
transform
the
state
of
georgia
as
we
go
forward
over
the
next
several
years.
Let
me
tell
you
what
I
what
I
mean
by
that
if
you
look
at
this
slide
up
here,
what
what
is
in
the
proposal
is
we're
proposing
to
shut
down
all
the
coal
generation
plants
in
the
state
of
georgia
that
georgia
power
controls
all
right.
AN
That's
3500,
approximately
megawatts
a
megawatt
is
about
the
amount
of
power
that
would
power
a
kroger
or
a
publix
or
a
home
depot
or
a
lowe's.
That's
about
the
size
of
that
those
have
been
the
workhorse
of
this
state
for
60
70
80
years
and
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
shut
those
down
most
of
them
by
2028.
AN
AN
Most
of
that
solar
all
right,
so
how
many
of
you
have
driven
recently
down
toward
florida
and
seen
the
just
all
the
solar
panels
out
near
the
interstate
right?
That's
what
that
is
what
I'm
talking
about
a
significant
amount!
More
of
solar.
Georgia
is
already
one
of
the
top
solar
states
in
the
nation.
With
this,
this
will
actually
double
the
amount
of
solar
that
we
have
in
the
state.
With
this
proposal
that
we
have
out
there,
we're
also
going
to
be
trying
to
match
that
solar
up
with
some
advanced
batteries.
AN
As
we
add
more
solar
out
there,
what
do
you
think
happens
to
it
when
a
cloud
goes
over?
It
doesn't
work
too
well
right,
so
we
don't
want
your
lights
to
flicker.
You
don't
want
your
lights
to
flicker
every
time
a
cloud
goes
over,
so
we're
gonna
match
that
that
solar
up
with
some
advanced
battery
technology,
to
give
us
some
ride
through
capability,
as
we
continue
to
add
more
of
that
to
our
system.
AN
We're
also
going
to
add
some
tall
wind
demonstration
units
across
the
state
when
I
say
tall
wind,
I'm
talking
about
the
size
of
maybe
some
of
the
skyscrapers
in
downtown
atlanta
right,
so
very,
very
tall
wind
turbines
that
you
typically
have
to
put
together
on
site.
You
can't
ship,
the
the
blades
or
anything
under
bridges
or
on
or
on
the
road.
So
you
have
to
put
most
of
it
together
on
site.
AN
30,
I
mean
excuse
me
50
coal,
about
30
percent
gas,
10
nuclear
and
no
solar
to
fast
forward
over
to
about
20
30.
We're
going
to
be
about
a
third
solar
in
this
in
this
state.
We're
going
to
be
about
a
third
natural
gas
about
13,
nuclear
and
very,
very
little
coal.
All
right!
That's
a
very,
very
different!
Looking
electric
system,
it
responds
to
what
your
citizens
have
been
asking
for
as
we
move
toward
a
more
carbon
free,
renewable
environment.
So
a
lot
of
folks
are
not
well
are
not
aware
of
this.
AN
We
have
it
before
the
public
service
commission
right
now,
it's
being
debated
and
this
plan
will
be
voted
on
by
the
end
of
the
year.
So
I
just
want
to
make
you
aware
of
that.
One
second
thing:
power
system,
investment
plan.
How
many
of
you
are
have
talked
to
your
parents
or
your
grandparents
and
they've,
told
you
stories
about
maybe
in
the
30s
or
40s,
when
when
we
were
building
lines
all
across
the
state
of
georgia
for
the
first
time
connecting
cities
and
towns
together,
have
any
of
y'all
heard
those
stories
all
right?
AN
Well,
if
you
haven't
I've,
hear
them
all
the
time
about
people
remind
us
of
that.
But
but
let
me
tell
you
what
happened
in
the
30s
and
40s
here
in
columbus
and
lots
of
other
places.
We
were
building
lines
all
across
the
state
and
we
maintain
those
lines
throughout
every
single
year,
but
we've
got
a
big
bubble
coming
through
the
system
right
now.
A
lot
of
those
lines
that
were
built
way
back
in
the
30s
and
40s
are
have
reached
the
end
of
their
useful
life.
AN
So
we've
got
to
put
in
a
system
a
way
to
replace
all
that
stuff,
because
if
you
tried
to
do
it
through
a
normal
process
every
single
year,
you
would
never
catch
up.
So
we've
got
a
process
with
the
with
the
georgia
public
service
commission.
It's
called
our
our
power
system,
investment
plan.
It's
going
to
it's
about
a
10
billion
dollar
program
over
10
years,
where
we're
going
to
be
working
through
and
replacing
our
tall
transmission
structures
a
lot
of
our
substations
and
a
lot
of
our
distribution
lines
across
this
across
the
state.
AN
All
of
that
is
based
on
improving
reliability
and
a
lot
of
metrics
that
are
that
have
been
used
by
outside
companies
that
have
come
in
and
helped
us
look
at
every
single
line
in
the
state,
so
you're
going
to
start
seeing
us
move
across
the
state
and
here
in
columbus,
we've
already
started
two
projects
in
this
area.
We
have.
We
are
rebuilding
the
bartlett's
ferry
substation
up
in
harris
county
and
you're.
AN
You've
seen
us
working
on
two
big
transmission
lines
that
feed
into
fort
benning,
because
the
city
has
worked
with
us
on
some
of
the
walking
paths
that
these
transmission
lines
go
down,
we're
able
to
close
some
of
those
down
and
reroute
traffic
as
we
replace
those
structures.
AN
All
of
that
is
based
on
changing
that
aging
assets
out
in
2027
and
2028.
We
will
be
moving
a
lot
of
resources
into
this
area
where
we
will
be
starting
to
replace
a
lot
of
our
distribution
structures
as
they
go
through
subdivisions,
neighborhoods,
etc.
We
will
not
just
show
up.
We
will
not
just
be
there
one
day
we
will
have
a
lot
of
community
discussions,
we
will.
We
will
let
folks
know
what
we're
doing
and
why?
AN
But
it's
all
aimed
at
improving
the
reliability
of
their
electric
system,
so
it'll
be
much
much
better
when
we
finish
that
up
than
it
is
today,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
getting
that
done.
So
this
is
just
a
just
giving
you
a
taste
that
that's
cut,
that
that's
coming,
but
but
we'll
be
back
in
front
of
this
group
and
and
each
one
of
the
the
city
council
members
individually.
AN
As
we
come
into
your
area
to
talk
through
this
and
then
the
last
thing
I
was
going
to
share
is
ev
infrastructure.
You
hear
a
lot
about
this.
We've
got
a
lot
of
ev
companies
that
have
located
in
the
state
of
georgia.
You've
probably
seen
the
announcement
of
rivian
that's
coming
up
near
near
atlanta.
I
think
the
ajc
leaked
a
story
this
week
about
kia
looking
down
towards
savannah
with
a
particular
plant
down
there,
and
then
we've
got
battery
plants
up
on
in
northeast
georgia
and
just
a
lot
of
activity
around
electric
vehicles.
AN
So
georgia
power
has
been
working
to
help
with
the
infrastructure.
That's
needed
in
this
state
to
make
sure
that
our
citizens
don't
suffer
from
the
range
anxiety
that
they're
going
to
have
as
more
and
more
vehicles
are
electrified
out
there.
So
two
things
just
want
you
to
be
aware
of.
We
do
have
a
community
charging
program
that
we're
working
on
we're.
Putting
70
charging
stations
in
throughout
the
state
by
the
end
of
this
year,
those
are
mainly
on
interstate
routes.
AN
AN
We
do
have
one
at
the
burger
king
off
bradley
park
drive
if
y'all
seen
that
one
that
is
part
of
that
network
aimed
at
getting
folks
that
come
through
columbus
kind
of
down
through
the
85
corridor
on
their
way
to
florida.
All
right
there'll
be
more
coming
as
we
as
we
do
work
on
that
particular
program,
but
that
just
want
to
make
sure
you're
aware
of
what's
going
on
there.
Those
are
fast
charger.
AN
High
voltage,
you
can
get
a
pretty
good
charge
in
your
vehicle
in
about
10
minutes
very
similar
to
going
to
fill
up
with
with
gas,
and
then
we
have
a
program
called
make
ready
where
we'll
be
working
with
businesses
across
the
state
that
are
interested
in
putting
ev
chargers
into
their
business
for
their
employees.
AN
We'll
help
that
we'll
put
in
the
infrastructure
behind
the
meter,
the
the
company
will
buy
the
chargers
and
it'll
help
expand
that
network
out
across
businesses
also,
so
that
program
is
fully
subscribed
but
we're
putting
in
some
more
funding
for
that
in
the
next
rate
case,
that's
coming
up,
so
that
is
a
big
flyover
of
georgia
power.
I
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
stop,
and
at
least
you
know
think
mayor
henderson
thank
isaiah
thank
his
his
wonderful
staff
that
we,
we
have
a
tremendous
partnership
with
this
city.
AC
Thank
you,
doug
councillor,
woodson.
V
I
have
two
questions
for
you
when
you
were
talking
about
the
fast
chargers
and
you
were
talking
about
placing
them
along
the
interstate
and
that
would
cause
people
to
come
into
the
city
and
fill
up
and
make
their
presentation
well
are
you
are
any
of
those
being
looked
at
coming
south
in
south
columbus,
and
I
say
that
because
you
have
fort
benning,
you
have
the
infantry
museum.
You
have
oxbow
metal.
You
have
a
lot
of
people
that
visiting
that
are
going
into
the
electrical
slash
gas
vehicle.
AN
AN
The
federal
government
is
doing
a
lot
of
these
chargers
in
we're
just
trying
to
to
be
a
partner
with
them
and
enable
a
lot
of
that
technology.
So
so
we
try
to
to
work
with
what's
going
on
with
the
base,
what's
going,
what
the
city
is
putting
in
as
far
as
the
chargers,
because
they
put
in
several
around
around
the
city,
so
we
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
good
partner
with
that
and
a
good
a
good
enabler,
but
we
are
looking
on
several
sites
on
the
southern
part
too.
So,
yes,.
V
And
and
the
reason
I
have
a
little
bit
knowledge
of
it.
My
son-in-law
have
bought
two
teslas.
So
that's
why
I
know,
and
then,
when
he
was
traveling,
it
was
difficult.
He
was
saying
in
columbus
is
very
hard
because
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
fast
stations
and
then,
when
you
were
talking
well,
they
moved
to
colorado
now.
But
when
you
were
talking,
I
thought.
V
Okay,
fort
benning
has
what
maybe
200
300
000
visitors
a
year
for
people
graduating
and
basic
training,
and
a
lot
of
young
people
now
are
doing
a
lot
of
the
jeeps,
the
electrical
jeeps
and
those
things.
So
that
was
my
reason
and
my
intent
to
find
out
if
it
was
coming
towards
south
columbus.
Also,
absolutely
my
my
next
request
for
you
is:
could
you
come
back
and
give
us
a
presentation
on
the
solo
panels
for
residents?
P
V
And
where
there's
companies
that
will
pay
you
and
then
I've
heard
where
there
is
where
you
have
to
buy
it,
you
know
and
then
what's
the
beneficial
for
residents
if
they
were,
if,
when
all
this
solar
panel
and
all
this
energy
change,
would
that
cost
their
their
electric
bill
to
go
lower
or
is
that
going
to
be
higher?
What's
the
plus
and
benefits
of
us
going
into
the
solar
system
and
not
for
our
residents?
Okay,.
AN
Be
glad
to
come
back
and
talk
about
that,
because
there's
you're
right,
there's
a
there's,
a
whole
host
of
programs
that
you
can.
You
can
put
things
on
your
own
house
on
your
own
roof,
all
the
way
to
what
we
call
community
programs
where
you
can
buy
into
a
a
community
solar
farm
and
be
part
of
it.
That
way,
all
the
way
up
to
just
going
through
georgia
power's
normal
solar
program.
V
Isaiah,
can
you
work
something
out
where
I
would
prefer
if
he
came
on
a
work
session,
because
then
we
can
ask
questions
and
we
won't
be
limited
in
the
time.
V
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we're
going
into
electric
and
we're
going
into
sort
of
that
our
citizens
understand
it
and
as
they
invest
in
new
homes
and
as
they
fix
their
present
home
and
technology
is
going
that
way,
it's
very
important
for
us
to
educate
them,
so
they
make
the
right
choices
and
know
what
can
benefit
and
to
me,
that's
a
great
partnership
with
georgia,
power
and
the
citizens
of
columbus,
because
you're
helping
to
educate
them
for
the
benefit
not
only
of
your
company
but
their
livelihood.
V
AN
V
AC
AC
What
are
we
doing
about
taking
steps
to
to
utilize
more
clean
and
renewable
energy
sources
and
listening
to
the
update
georgia
powers
thinking
that
same
way,
and
so
they
are
continuing
to
look
for
ways
that
leave
a
smaller
environmental
footprint
and,
at
the
same
time,
are
more
efficient
to
be
able
to
try
to
provide
the
services
that
you
guys
provide.
So
you
know,
I
think
this
is
great
and
I
think
a
periodic
update
would
be
would
be
advantageous
for
council
because
I'm
I'm
certain.
AC
They
get
a
lot
of
questions
because
I
know
I'm
hearing
it
as
well,
sir,
but
we
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do,
but
we
thank
you
particularly
for
being
here
this
morning
to
give
us
this
update.
It's
very,
very
informative
and-
and
I
know
council
appreciates
the
commitment
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
are
communicating
with
them
within
their
districts
on
anything
that
is
going
to
impact
some
of
those
some
of
those
residents
so
grace.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
great
day.
I
No
thank
you.
I
actually,
I
actually
was
going
to
ask
the
city
manager-
and
I
don't
know
you
might
be
able
to
benefit
for
this.
I'm
not
sure,
but
we
just
attended
a
conference
in
savannah.
It's
our
accg
annual
conference
and
we
got
an
update
on
the
infrastructure
bill
and
they
have
2.5
billion
dollars
for
charging
and
fueling
grants.
I
I
AG
Yeah
and
and
mayor,
I
was
just
going
to
say
that
our
eyes
are
open
for
any
arp
funding.
In
fact,
the
mayor
and
I
have
had
multiple
conversations
with
representatives
from
u.s
senator
warren's
office
and
us
office
office,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
shared
with
them
on
our
list.
When
they
ask
you
know
what
can
we
do
for
you?
AG
We've
talked
about
electric
charging
stations
as
a
project
that
we
are
interested
in
in
columbus,
georgia,
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
that's
one
of
the
projects
she
has
worked
on
and
continues
to
work
on,
so
electric
vehicle
charging
stations.
In
fact
I
even
challenged.
I
see
the
fire
ems
chief
is
here
and
we
challenged
them
to
look
at
electric
vehicles
for
fire
engines
and
ambulance
units,
and
they
did
some
research
and
came
back
and
reported
back
to
us.
So
that
is
high
on
our
agenda.
I
want
you
to
know
metra.
AG
H
You
had
authorized
the
audit
back
in
january
january,
26th
of
2021
and
in
stepping
through
your
report.
This
morning
I
began
with
your
authorization,
developed
an
audit
program
and
had
an
entrance
conference
with
the
oddity
and
began
conducting
field.
H
H
AF
H
In
order
to
ensure
that
they
can
meet
community
needs
also
to
explore
opportunities
to
improve
the
collection
rate
of
ems
billing
services
that
are
currently
at
approximately
26.
Now
this
26,
it's
it's
a
moving
number.
It
tends
to
vacillate.
Sometimes
it's
in
the
low
30s
the
billing
tends
to
run
several
months
behind.
H
There
are
some
opportunities
in
that
area.
Also,
a
third
recommendation,
as
fire
and
ems
employees
have
a
required
minimum
staffing
level
under
fsla.
The
department
is
automatically
incurring
overtime
for
ccg
per
consent
of
days
that
may
be
offered
for
employees.
As
a
result,
additional
overtime
dollars
have
been
included
in
their
fiscal
23
budget
request
and
as
identified
in
the
field
work
and
that's
the
justification.
H
What
happens
sometimes
is
you'll
have
a
fire
employee
that
participates
in
maybe
a
blood
drive,
you
know
so
they've
earned
a
perk
and
when
they've
earned
that
perk
we're
already,
you
know,
underwater
with
overtime,
so
that
it's
a
chronic
cycle.
You
know,
so
that's
why
you
see
those
overtime
requests
in
that
budget,
so
those
those
in
essence,
are
the
recommendations.
H
H
H
At
this
point
in
the
presentation
we
have
an
oddities
response.
Now,
chief
scarpa
has
responded
to
the
audit
report
and
concurs
with
my
report.
He
indicates
that
he's
proud
to
participate
in
the
process
with
his
department
and
that
he
values
the
transparency
and
seeks
out
opportunities
to
continue
improvements
in
his
department.
H
AF
L
My
question
is:
is
that
the
amount
that
we
are
collecting
is
only
26
of
what
we
are
billing,
or
are
we
not
billing,
but
26
percent.
AB
Good
morning
to
answer
your
question:
counselor,
we
are
on
an
average
we're
annually
billing
about
7.4
million
dollars,
we're
contractually
writing
off
about
3.1
million
dollars.
Our
average
annual
collections
is
what
winds
up
in
collections
is
about
1.9
million
and
what
we
are
receiving.
What
we
are
receiving
back
is
about
2.3,
which
is
actually
about
32.
That
was
the
type
on
my
part,
so
we're
billing
7.4
we're
currently
receiving
on
average,
based
on
a
three-year
average
about
2.3,
and
so
we
think
there's
some
opportunities
there
for
some
improvement.
L
I'm
a
little
confused
and
are
concerned.
J
Good
morning,
so
I'm
not
exactly
fully
prepared
to
answer
all
the
questions
that
you
may
have
today,
because
I
haven't
seen
the
report
until
just
a
few
moments
ago,
but
what
I
will
say
in
terms
of
what
we
bill
out
about
76
77
of
what
we
bill
is
medicare
medicaid
payments
and
those
rates
are
set.
I
mean
they're,
not
it
doesn't
matter
that
we
bill
700
for
bls
or
900
for
als.
J
J
So
in
terms
of
the
percentages
that's
been
you
know
thrown
around,
like
I
said
I
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
to
really
vet
that,
but
what
I
do
know
in
terms
of
what
we
bill
and
what
that
pay.
A
lot
of
what
we
build
is
contractually
written
off
year-to-date
in
terms
of
fy
22,
we've
written
off
about
53
of
what
we
bill
because
of
medicare
medicaid
about
seven.
AG
This
has
been
obviously
a
concern
for
many
years,
because
you
know
you
may
have
a
transport,
that's
thirteen
hundred
dollars
or
eight
hundred
dollars.
I
don't
care,
as
you
heard,
the
finance
director
say
you
can
build
them,
build
them,
build
them.
2,
500,
you're,
you're,
going
to
get
250
or
you're
going
to
get
300.,
and
so
it
looks
like
the
collection
rate,
obviously
is
very
low
because
there's
a
maximum,
and
so
that
is
why
private
ambulance,
companies
and
I'll
just
say
it.
L
J
AG
J
AC
But
there
are,
and
we've
had
conversations
there
are
different
things
that
I
think
the
staff
is
in
the
process
of
evaluating
to
see
whether
or
not
it
would
make
a
big
enough
difference,
because
if
we,
if
we
did
something
outside
of
what
what
we
do
from
our
finance
area,
obviously
there's
a
cost
that
would
be
incurred
if
we
hired
somebody.
So
the
challenge
is
to
determine
whether
or
not
the
juice
is
worth
to
squeeze,
because
for
some
of
some
of
the
billing
you
know.
Sometimes
it's
a
race
to
the
insurance
company.
AC
I
mean
the
ones
that
get
there
first
get
paid,
and
so
you
know
we're
looking
at
a
number
of
different
initiatives
to
try
to
beef
up
those
collections,
but
but
as
as
the
the
finance
director
mentioned.
So
much
of
that
is
regulated
due
to
a
maximum
limit.
That's
going
to
be
paid
by
medicare
medicaid
that
just
don't
have
an
option
to
go,
get
that
money,
and
we,
once
frankly,
we
had
heard
at
an
earlier
occasion
when
we
do
try
to
collect
those
funds.
AC
J
AG
AG
T
L
AC
AC
All
right,
we'll
move
on
to
the
city
attorney's
agenda.
AD
AC
AC
AC
AC
AC
AB
AC
AD
AC
AD
Yes,
okay,
okay,
all
those
are
approved.
The
next
item
ready
to
vote
on,
will
authorize
the
ironworks
convention
trade
center
authority
disposal.
AC
AD
AD
AD
AD
AC
AC
Okay,
let's
let's
move
forward
with
the
public
agenda,
those
folks
first
as
mr
jeffrey
bogan
regarding
property
damage
caused
by
a
tree
located
on
city
property,
now
remind
all
those
that
are
speaking
on
the
on
the
public
agenda.
That
you'll
have
five
minutes,
sir,
and
if
you're
unable
to
get
through
in
five
minutes,
you
have
the
option
of
waiting
to
the
end
of
the
clerk's
agenda
and
you
can
come
back
for
three
more
minutes
and
I'll
start.
The
timer
after
you
state
your
name
and
your
address.
AC
AO
AO
AO
AO
AO
You
know-
and
I
can't
even
allow
them
to
go
into
my
backyard
with
this
with
these
hazards.
There,
I'm
here
today
to
petition
you
on
behalf
of
our
family.
We
are,
it
is
our
prayer
that
you
would
authorize
the
repair
of
this
property
and
the
erosion
that
is
occurring
behind
the
property,
and
it
is
our
prayer
that,
before
you
vote,
no
that
you
would
come
look
at
it
for
yourself,
as
our
councilwoman
has
done,
mrs
tucker.
We
appreciate
her
coming
out
and
viewing
it
as
well.
AO
I
might
not
follow
this
directly.
I
want
to
be
brief
and
to
the
point
as
to
what
we're
asking
this
body
of
government
to
do
is
to
repair
these
damages
that
occurred.
You
partnered
with
these
columbus
waterworks
a
few
months
ago
to
repair
my
neighbors.
It
was
a
ditch
drainage
line
that
went
along
and
caused
erosion
in
their
yard
and
that
same
erosion
that
water
flowed
towards
our
side
and
caused
erosion.
AO
Nor
did
I
receive
what
I
would
maybe
consider
respect
or
proper
notification
that
it
wasn't
going
to
be
done.
You
know,
so
I'm
asking
the
body
if
you
would
please
make
these
damage
on
behalf
of
our
family.
AG
Miss
mayor,
thank
you
and
I
did
receive
the
email
photos
from
a
clerk
of
council
davis
on
yesterday
and
sent
them
to
and
of
course,
that
was
my
first
time
seeing
them
and
sent
an
email
to
risk
management,
and
I
see
anne
maria
mill
is
here
and
and
also
to
public
works
director
drel
short
she's
here,
and
I
would
mayor
like
to
hear
from
them,
because
I
have
not
had
an
opportunity
to
talk
with
them
about
what
has
been
presented,
and
so,
when
mr
bogan
is
done,
I
will
have
them
come
and
share
with
us
what
they
know
about
this
request.
AC
Okay,
all
right,
mr
mr
bogan,
if
you
want
to
sir,
if
any
counselor
has
a
direct
question
of
you,
you're
welcome
to
answer,
but
other
than
that
you'll
need
to
stick
around
if
you
have
any
additional
information
to
provide
until
the
end
of
the
meeting,
but
we'll
ask
director
short
and
our
risk
manager,
anne
marie,
to
come
up
and
give
a
little
bit
of
information
as
well.
Sir
and
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
M
Good
morning,
everyone
we
did
in
fact
go
out
there
to
repair
a
cave-in
that
occurred
on
a
36-inch
pipe
behind
mr
bogan's
neighbor's
house,
which
is
5327
spencer
lane
in
the
process
of
doing
that.
M
M
M
I
think
this
is
it
you
can
see
here
where
her
neighbor
has
very
mature
holly
bushes,
that
she
used
as
her
privacy
fence
for
her
property,
and
she
didn't
want
us
to
take
those
out
if
we
didn't
have
to
so.
We
did
speak
with
mr
boggman
to
see
if
we
could
use
this
property,
as
the
waterworks
had
done
previously
to
go
behind
their
property
to
fix
the
storm
drain.
That
was,
in
fact
damaged
to
show
you
a
picture
of
the
damage
that
we
were
looking
at.
M
M
M
And
this
is
a
picture
of
the
final
product.
Once
we
were
finished,
we
had
to
make
sure
that
that
pipe
would
not
in
fact
cave
again
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
reinforced
and
that
that
would
not
be
the
occasion
the
case.
But
if
you
can
look,
you
can
see
that
the
storm
drain,
the
ditch
line
itself,
is
clear,
free
for
water
to
flow
directly
behind
that
area.
So
we
have
completed
the
work.
We
did
in
fact
go
back
there.
M
M
M
At
this
point
in
time,
there's
no
there's,
no
there's
nothing
blocking
it.
The
creek
bed
itself
is
clear
and
free
for
water
to
flow.
M
M
The
easement
is
actually
their
property.
That
is
just
we
use
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
flooding
established
in
the
area.
AG
Okay
and,
and
so
our
property
is,
is
it
just
heavily
wooded?
What
is
it.
M
AG
AP
We
have
no
record.
We've
certainly
not
received
any
kind
of
claim
for
damage.
We
ran
a
search
on
the
system.
We
until
I
got
that
documentation
yesterday,
I
was
actually
under
the
impression
that
we
were
talking
about
a
tree
at
the
front
of
the
property
the
georgia
power
took
down.
So
yesterday
we
got
that
and
and
then
we
realized
that
mr
bogan
was
not
actually
the
owner
of
the
property,
but
we
could
not
find
any
complaints
about
this
in
the
system.
AP
AG
So
so
tell
me
what
what
happens
if
you
know
I
mean
you
deal
with
insurance.
If
a
tree
falls
on
a
fence,
is
who's
responsible.
AP
If
we
have
had
notice
of
a
tree
problem,
public
works
will
go
out
and
they
will
take
a
look
at
the
tree
and
if
they
deem,
if
the
arborist
deems
it
deems
it
necessary,
they'll
take
the
tree
down
if
it's
on
city
property.
AG
AP
AG
I
obviously
it's
a
matter
that.
AG
And-
and
the
pictures
are
very
not
very
clear
to
me-
I
you
know-
I
can't
recommend
that
we
repair
something
that
has
not
been
reported
because,
obviously
you
know
people
are
watching
by
tv
and
even
if
we
were
not
on
tv,
we
don't.
We
cannot
set
a
precedent
and
I'm
not
the
lawyer.
The
lawyer
is
the
lawyer,
but
we
cannot
set
a
precedent
where
there's
nothing
in
our
system.
We've
never
known
about
any
issue
and
we're
talking
about
something.
That's
more
than
that
could
be
10
years
old
yeah,
I
don't
know
city
manager.
AC
AQ
AC
It
so
that
the
basic
aesthetic
maintenance
of
it
is
up
to
the
individuals
that
own
it.
We
only
get
engaged.
If
there's
something
that
causes
a
blockage
know
it
runs
the
water.
AO
AG
AO
Say,
mr
mayor,
that
the
the
photos
in
which
she
shared
was
not
photos
behind
my
property,
it
was
photos
behind
the
property
or
the
repairs
that
were
done
next
to
me
that
showed
the
clearage
they
my
property,
which
is,
I
submitted,
protos
to
with
the
presentation
that
ms
david
said
was
going
to
be
submitted
to
copies
of
electronically
to
you
all
yeah.
AO
If
you
would
know
those
photos,
you
will
see
in
the
attachments
where
on
the
tree
that
fell
from
off
the
beach
line,
the
dark
north
side,
not
on
our
side,
but
on
the
other
side
of
the
ditch
yeah
and
fell
over
onto
our
fence.
Okay,
and
if
you
noted
that
there
is
congestion
that
is
behind
our
property
now
what
she
showed
you
were:
the
neighbors
okay,
next
to
us
and
the
ditch
pipe
that
had
eroded.
There
also
contributed
to
the
erosion
carried
on
behind
our
property.
AO
AO
AO
AO
AC
That
have
some
comments
and
questions
too.
Sir
councilor
tucker.
I
AG
Well-
and
let
me
just
say
mr
mir-
certainly
I
intend
to
have
my
staff-
follow
up
to
go
back
out,
take
a
look
and
provide
me
a
a
report
and
and
if
there
are
any
issues
that
we
determine
that
we're
responsible
for
we're,
certainly
going
to
take
care
of
them.
AG
But
if
staff
determines
that
we're
not
and
then
we,
the
response
would
be
that
it's
not
a
city
of
responsibility,
the
the
thing
that
we're
always
going
to
own
up
and
take
care
of
our
responsibility.
AC
I
think
that
going
out
there
and
checking
it
wouldn't
be
a
bad
thing.
I
do
know
that
we
we
have
situations
like
this,
where
there
are
drainage,
ditches
that
I
have
one
behind
my
house,
that
is
there's
an
easement,
there's
private
property
and
we
had
a
number
of
trees
fall
that
we
had
to
dig
out
of
there.
So
counselor
thomas.
L
I
think
that
councilor
tucker
and
the
city
manager
have
done
what
I
was
going
to
request,
that
we
have
a
conversation,
your
staff
with
mr
brogan
and
whatever,
whatever
you
find,
bring
it
back
to
us
so
that
we
can
know
what
to
do.
I
think
that
that
the
statue
of
limitations
may
have
some
play
in
this.
I
don't
know
10
years
sort
of
rings,
the
bell,
but
our
risk
management
department
be
included
in
those
conversations,
if
you
would
mr
city
manager.
Thank
you.
AC
AC
AG
Well
and
mr
mayor,
let
me
just
say
before
she
speaks
had
I
known
what
she
wanted
to
talk
about,
I
would
have
put
it
on
my
agenda
because
under
I
would
not
want
to
limit
her
to
five
minutes
to
tell
our
citizens
how
georgia
rental
assistance
can
work
better
in
muskogee
county
right,
and
so
it
would
not
be
fair
to
the
citizens
to,
in
my
opinion,
to
limit
her
to
five
minutes.
But
she
got
on
the
public
agenda.
AQ
Which
is
fine,
I
really
I
wanted
just
to
do
a
brief
introduction
and
ask
to
get
on
somebody's
agenda,
so
we
could
talk
deep,
deeper
about.
AC
This
sure
we'll
do
that
we'll
get
the
overview
and
get
the
flyby
and
then
we'll
we'll
we'll
move
on
to
a
deeper
dive.
After
that,
that's.
AG
AQ
So
I'm
cheryl
kolb,
I
am
a
gra
outreach
coordinator
here
in
the
muskogee
county
and
surrounding
counties.
I
have
16
counties
in
all.
I
am
just
here
today
to
be
very
brief
and
just
ask
that
we
find
a
way
that
we
can
better
help
our
community
access
these
funds.
I
have
we
have
552
million
and
then
another
400
million
that
came
in
later.
AQ
This
program
will
be
around
till
2025,
okay
and
I
think
a
lot
of
people
think
the
program
discontinued
at
the
end
of
last
year,
but
we
were
allowed
an
extension
for
that
original
552
million
and
we
really
need
to
get
it
spin
down.
So
we
don't
have
to
send
it
back
to
the
federal
government.
We
want
to
spend
it
here
in
georgia.
It
there
are
problems,
I'm
I'm
aware
of,
and
I'm
also
working
very
hard
with
different
landlords
and
tenants
to
resolve
them.
AQ
It's
unfortunate
that
that
some
choices
were
made
and
they
weren't
good
ones
and
things
got
delayed,
and
it
was
just
we're
working
through
that
and
we're
hiring
more
resources
to,
of
course,
process
these
applications
every
day.
Somebody
from
the
scope,
many
people
from
muskogee
county,
get
on
the
internet
and
they
apply
for
these
funds.
We
just
want
to
figure
out
a
way
where
we
can
educate
the
community
so
that
they
know
what
they're
doing,
because
a
lot
of
times
people
have
barriers.
AC
I
think
that's,
terrific
and
we'll
we'll
try
to
get
you
back
at
the
very
next
meeting.
I
think
it's
the
end
of
this
month,
councilor
crabb.
D
Thank
you.
Can
you
tell
me
what
the
rental
system,
the
rental
assistance
you
know,
I'm
sorry.
I've
got
all
discombobulated
what
it
entails.
AQ
Right
now
we're
we're
doing
our
best
to
get
people
caught
up
on
their
arrears
so
and
then
we're
also
scheduling
normally
scheduling
an
additional
three
months
forward.
So
it's
a
total
of
18
months
that
you
can
qualify
up
to
you
do
have
to
research
every
three
months,
but
it
is.
It
is
a
very
beneficial
program.
AQ
AQ
AQ
I
know
everybody
knows.
Louie.
I've
worked
with
louie
to
make
sure
one
of
his
residents.
They
were
taken.
Care
of.
They
had
originally
been
denied,
but
there
was
some
some
underlining
problems
there
that
required
some
case
management
skills,
and
so
I
took
the
case
over
and
handled
it
myself.
I
can't
do
that
with
every
case,
of
course,
in
muscovy
county,
but
I
do
want
to.
AQ
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
if
we
have
something,
that's
getting,
you
know
six
months
behind
that
it
is
brought
to
my
attention
and
I
I
can
look
at
it
personally
and
see
if
there's
something
I
can
do
to
to
you
know,
escalate
it
and
make
it
get
through
the
system.
A
little
quicker.
I've.
D
Spoken
with
louie
and
he's
my
neighbor
and,
and
he
talks
to
me
about
a
consulting
you
know,
a
tenant
consultant
that
follows
the
tenant.
Is
that
your
department,
that
does
that.
AQ
Unfortunately,
all
the
coordinators,
we
have
many
coordinators
across
georgia,
we
have
emails
and
phone
numbers
to
call.
Unfortunately
they
were
leaked
out
which
is
fine
for
me,
I'm
I'm
a
customer
service
person,
I'm
going
to
call
and
make
sure
they
understand.
If
it's
something
I
can
answer,
if
they
need
to
speak
with
the
customer
service
or
I
often
contact
the
processor,
I
usually
spend
fridays,
just
clearing
emails
and
phone
calls
from
people.
AQ
I
I
don't
do
that
personally,
you
know
because
for
me
I'm
I
take
a
processor
type
of
role
when
I'm
dealing
with
someone
and
so
what
we
do
is
we
like
to
take
and
make
sure
they
have
access
to
that
process
or
maybe
the
processor's
ignoring
them
or
maybe
they're.
Just
you
got
to
remember.
The
processors
have
500
applications.
They
gotta
test
touch
every
week.
So
that's
a
lot
and
it's
very
overwhelming
many
of
the
processors
start
and
within
a
few
days
they
quit
so.
AQ
D
So
it
is
just
rental
payment
assistance.
It
is
not
assistance
to
where
sometimes
if
the
rent
payment
is
is
behind,
then
the
landlord
does
not
have
the
funds
to
help
with
some
repairs
that
need
to
be
taken
care
of,
because
they
use
the
rent
money
to
take
care
of
the
repairs,
and
so
it's
kind
of
a
vicio,
a
downward
spiral.
D
And
so
I
was
just
wondering
if
some
of
the
552
million
could
actually
be
used
on
some
of
these
properties.
Of
you
know
it's
like
paying
the
rents,
but
also
helping
the
landlord
make
repairs
to
their
their
properties.
AQ
So
they
expanded
it
like
I
said
we
can
also
also
catch
people
up
on
their
rears
in
utilities.
So
that's
the
power,
the
gas,
the
water.
You
know,
there's
certain
things
that
that
we
are
trying
to
expand
that
money
to
use.
K
S
AQ
Repairs
to
the
property
is
one
of
them,
but
I
know
that,
like
I
said
we're
also
trying
to
individuals
that
maybe
are
evicted
during
the
process
of
applying
for
funds.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
not
homeless
and
that
they're
housed
ran
into
one
on
friday.
I
was
wearing
my
little
tag
and
I
went
to
get
gasoline
and
the
young
lady
was
like.
AQ
I
need
to
talk
with
you,
and
so
we
talked
for
a
little
while,
and
there
was
nothing
I
could
do
about
the
problem
right
there
other
than
call
some
non-profits
that
I
I
knew
would
help
her
out,
and
so
I
was
able
to
at
least
get
her
off
the
street,
and
I'm
that's
going
to
be
one
of
my
projects
this
week
is
to
try
to
get
her
through
the
system
and
in
a
hotel.
So
it's
just
unfortunate.
I
That's
where
okay,
okay,
but
thank
you,
we
definitely
definitely
need
this.
I
did
want
to
say
something
to
the
city
manager,
because
he's
always
on
it.
When
it
comes
to
this,
then
director
rob
scott.
Do
something
with
I
see
he's
back
there
did.
We
have
some
programs
that
we
did
in
the
city
that
we
can
possibly.
AG
And
I'm
glad
you
made
that
point
and
while
he's
coming
not
only
this,
I
challenged
rob
scott
and
our
department
heads
at
our
last
apartment
head
meeting,
but
I'll
talk
about
that
when
they're
done.
Thank
you
would
you
mention
our
because
you've
done
briefings
here
before
about
the
rental
assistance
tons
of
times?
Yes,
okay,
okay,
tell
them
who
you
are
and
okay.
AR
My
name
is
rob
scott,
I'm
the
director
of
community
reinvestment
when
the
firm
program
first
started.
The
city
manager
put
it
on
our
radar
to
try
to
promote
the
program
as
much
as
we
could.
We
did
try
to
reach
out
to
dca
to
get
a
direct
allocation
to
administer
the
program
locally,
but
that
was
unsuccessful,
so
our
next
step
was
to
connect
with
dca
and
be
a
partner
in
terms
of
promoting
the
program.
AR
So
what
we
did
locally
was
we
created
navigation
stations
and
we
created
navigators
who
were
specifically
non-profit
agencies,
who
would
kind
of
like
hand
hold
clients
through
the
process?
So
we
did.
We
did
a
landlord
engagement,
where
I
think
we
had
117
landlords
show
up
and
get
educated
in
partnership
with
dc
at
the
time
the
program
has
been
moving
forward
and
again
this
is
a
dca
administered
program,
dca
funded.
AR
V
V
Could
you
please
get
this
in
spanish
for
me,
I
would
appreciate
it
so
I
can
distribute,
and
my
next
question
was
well
a
request.
Was
I'm
working
in
a
community
called
oakland
oakland
park,
I'm
working
with
a
community
group,
that's
called
jobs
for
life
and
we
have
a
lot
of
disadvantaged
families
there.
V
I'm
gonna
text
pastor
powers
to
reach
out
to
you,
but
wanted
to
know
if
you
could
take
15
10
minutes
and
come
out
and
talk
to
the
class
about
what's
available
here
and
for
them
to
know
that
this
is
available,
because
I'm
just
a
coach
they're
in
the
process
and
and
it's
a
program,
that's
helping
people
apply
for
jobs,
how
to
present
themselves
how
to
do
resumes.
You
know
how
to
search
for
jobs
and
things,
but
we
run
into
a
lot
of
what
we
call
roadblocks
and
a
lot
of
the
students.
V
V
Oh,
my
god,
no
wonder
they
can't
get
a
job
with
all
the
obstacles,
so
I
just
wanted
to
just
plug
that
in
your
ear
and
robert
scott,
mr
scott,
you
too
and
see
if
you
will
come
out
there
and
talk
to
the
students,
you
know
for
a
few
minutes,
we
did
have
someone
come
to
talk
to
students
about
financials
how
to
get
themselves
they're
these
individuals
that
are
disadvantaged
people
that
are
educated
but
lost
their
jobs
and
are
having
a
hard
time
finding
a
job
so
we're
just
kind
of
helping
them
with
jobs
for
life
to
be
able
to
get
these
things.
AQ
And
that's
that
is
as
a
outreach
coordinator,
that's
kind
of
my
primary
thing
is
to
be
at
food
drives
and
and
different
community
events
where
I
can
pass
out
flyers.
You
know.
Sometimes
it's
you
know
urban
league.
That
was
a
great
event
to
be
at,
but
then
most
times
it's
you
know
out
at
the
food
distribution
downtown
with
the
the
aging
river
valley
on
aging
was
down
there
passing
out
flyers
during
their
little
drive
through
health
events.
AQ
So
you
know
that's
the
primary
position
and
things
I
do
but
also
educate,
so
whether
you
know
I'm
talking
to
a
family
connection
group
and
giving
them
you
know,
or
talking
with
the
city
council,
making
sure
that
we've
got
the
community
on
top
of
this.
So
because
we
have
just
graphics
for
social
media
and
web
pages
that
you
know
we
just
like
to
see
posted.
AQ
I
was
out
with
meeting
with
flint
river
talking
with
them
yesterday
about
how
we
can
they're
going
to
set
up
little
kind
of
kiosk
for
their
people
to
come
in
and
actually
apply
for.
You
know
flint
river
energies
that
way
they
can
come
in
and
get
caught
up
on
their
power
bill
and
also
get
ahead
on
their
rent.
You
know
these
type
of
things,
so
we're
always
just
looking
for
really
creative
ways
and,
of
course,
any
opportunity
to
educate
the
public
and
provide
the
flyers
in
any
kind
of
event
that
you
know.
AQ
AG
AG
Yeah
and
so,
and
certainly
we
have
employees
who
fall
into
that
category
mayor
and-
and
I
was
about
to
say-
and
that's
why
I
didn't
want
rob
scott
to
to
leave
at
my
last
at
the
last
department
he
had
meeting
you
know
I
had
35
40
people
in
that
meeting
via
zoom,
but
I
challenged
them
and
and
really
chastised,
because
rob
landers
has
the
down
payment
assistance
program
and
these-
and
this
program
is
where
you
get
ten
thousand
dollars
down
payment
assistance,
for
example,
and
if
you
stay
in
the
house
for
let's
say
five
years
and
he'll
correct
me
in
a
second
it's
forgiven,
and
so
our
employees
should
be
first
in
land.
AG
AG
AG
I
know
that
you
have
many
employees
who
fall
into
an
income
bracket
with
three
or
four
in
the
household
that
they
should
get
this
down
payment
assistance
and,
if
you're
walking
past
your
employee,
looking
your
employee
in
the
face
every
day
and
you
as
a
director
is
not
saying
here,
look
at
this
and
call
rob
scott
my
words
for
them.
Shame
on
you!
AG
AR
Okay,
so
as
part
of
the
georgia
cities
week
initiative
and
to
help
to
achieve
and
close
the
gap
in
terms
of
accessibility,
when
we
say
accessibility,
we
mean
things
like
down
payment
assistance.
AR
Our
department
increased
the
ten
thousand
dollar
down
payment
assistance
to
fourteen
thousand
nine
seven
five,
so
it's
more
than
ten
thousand
dollars
for
almost
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
The
principal
requirements
are
simple:
that
the
household
based
on
the
number
of
people
in
it
should
be
under
huds
area.
Median
income
listing
of
80
percent
and
the
security
deed
is
what
covers
that
down
payment
assistance.
AR
So
all
we
ask
is
that
you,
you
want
to
give
you
this
money
you'll,
be
under
this
income
limit
and
that
you
make
this
home
your
principal
residence
for
five
years
at
the
end
of
the
fifth
year.
The
amount
of
the
down
payment
assistance
is
then
forgiven,
and
then
the
family
will
have
no
other
restrictive
covenant
in
place.
AG
So
so
why
would
you
look
your
employee
in
the
face
who
qualifies
and
not
direct
them
to
the
source,
to
apply
for
this
money?
Get
out
of
that
rental
property
own
your
own
home?
It's
an
investment
and
feel
good
about
being
a
city
employee.
Not
only
is
it
I
mean
it's
available
to
the
entire
columbus
georgia
community.
AG
V
Yes,
city
manager
and
rob
and
rob.
I
thank
you
because
when
I
used
to
work
at
theses-
and
I
knew
programs
that
were
available,
I
gave
it
to
my
employees
because
even
in
the
in
the
public
sector,
even
I
as
a
leader
was
always
asked
to
give
money
to
other
other
causes.
But
yet
I
would
see
my
own
employees
suffering
there
and
I'm
asking
them
to
help
to
help
others
when
they
were
going
christ.
V
V
I
would
do
lunch
because
I
knew
two
or
three
my
employees
and
not
have
lunch,
but
I
didn't
want
to
embarrass
them,
so
I
did
the
whole
section
for
lunch.
So
again,
thank
you.
It's
amazing
what
you're
doing
and
miss
sure
you
already
contact
robin
powell
while
we're
sitting
here
and
he
will
be
giving
you
a
call.
Thank.
J
AC
Thank
you
cheryl
all
right
next
is
mr
timothy
carter,
representing
kings
ridge
subdivision
regarding
a
petition
for
permanent
gate
closure.
AT
AT
AT
AT
AT
It's
sad
that
it
has
fallen
to
such
a
dis,
a
state
of
disarray.
I
used
to
go
and
walk
through
carver
park.
I
used
to
jog
through
carver
park,
but
I'm
afraid
to
do
that
now
and
it
is
shameful
that
we
we
have
a
nice
park
in
the
back
of
our
residence,
but
we
don't
frequent
and
you
know
we
have.
We
have
wildlife
that
flies
in
into
the
lake
and
one
one
saturday.
It
was
so
much
ruckus
in
the
park,
the
wildlife,
the
geese
they
didn't
fly
into
the
park
because
there
was
so
much
noise.
I
I
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city
manager
and
our
director
of
parks
and
rec
holly
for
holly
barada
for
actually
being
proactive
and
addressing
some
of
the
issues
that
we
were
having.
We
did
and
I'm
not
sure
if
we
have
changed
any
of
the
times
or
anything
we
did
create
an
ordinance
now
that
the
city
manager
can
make
adjustments
at
any
time
when
it's
dealing
with
public
health
or
public
safety
in
our
parks.
I
The
park
is
closed.
At
7
pm
we
have
an
officer
that
comes
out
and
closed
both
gates.
I
do
know
exactly
what
you're
talking
about,
because
I've
talked
to
deandra
bradley.
She
wanted
to
start
a
neighborhood
watch
in
that
area.
So,
while
you
I
was
taking
petition,
I
hope
that
y'all
was
taking.
You
know,
actual
petition
to
start
the
neighborhood
watch
as
well.
AT
I
That's
something
that
we
would
have
to
discuss
with
council,
because
right
now
it
closes
at
7
pm
and
opens
at
7
a.m,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
still
closed
on
saturday
and
sunday,
but
I'm
thinking
that
it's
still
closed,
I'm
set
it's
still
closing
saturday
and
sunday,
we're
not
open
on
saturday
and
sunday
at
all
and
no
one's
driving
through
that
park
on
saturday
and
sunday
because
of
the
actions
that
we've
taken
on
council
now,
we
can
look
into,
as
I
was
saying,
with
city
manager
permanently
closing
that
back
gate,
because
I
have
asked
for
that.
I
Also
in
the
past.
We
can't
look
into
that
part
because
I
do
understand
the
issues,
especially
with
safety
and
some
of
the
incidents
and
like
he's
saying
deandra,
because
her
house
is
right
towards
the
back
of
the
park
and
they
were
shooting
and
she
has
bullet
holes
in
the
back
of
her
home.
So
I
do
I
am
aware,
but
also
I
want
to
say
this.
I
want
us
to
change
the
narrative,
because
carver
park
has
some
great
things
that
goes
on
the
directive
of
carver
park
is
courtney
mason.
I
We
have
senior
citizens
events
almost
every
day
from
11
o'clock
to
1
o'clock
senior
citizens
come
over
there.
They
do
exercise
events,
they
do
arts
and
crafts
and
other
things.
We
also
have
basketball
at
the
park.
In
october
we
had
a
drive-through,
spooktacular
type
event,
a
trunk
or
tree.
I
mean
it
was
a
huge
success.
We
had
cpd
out
there,
the
sheriff's
fire
department,
other
counselors.
I
We
have
good
things
going
on
in
carver
park
and
if
we
keep
saying
that
it's
nothing
going
on,
then
that's
that's
what
we're
putting
out
there.
You
know
how
they
say:
the
power
is
in
your
tongue.
You
know.
If
we
keep
saying
that,
then
that's
that's.
What's
going
to
be
put
out
there,
but
this
is
the
facts.
I
Crime
has
been
brought
down
in
carver
park.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
shooting
on
saturday
and
sunday
like
we
did.
You
don't
have
the
riff
raff
coming
through
your
neighborhood
on
the
weekends,
because
that
park
is
closed.
Unfortunately,
we
do
have
issues
that
we
have
to
address.
We
do
need
more
activities,
but
we
do
also
have
activities
we
do
and
we
need
to
support
our
part.
I
I
and
I'm
going
to
say
the
reason
why
I
went
to
lake
bottom,
because
my
daughter
goes
to
school
over
here
and
I'm
trying
to
keep
her
active,
but
we
go
to
carver
park
a
lot
a
lot.
I
appreciate
that
part
and
a
lot
of
other
people
appreciate
that
park
and
I
get
a
lot
of
phone
calls
because
people
want
the
park
to
be
open
on
saturday
and
sunday.
I
They
actually
call
council
of
barnes
and
they
was
upset
with
me
for
closing
the
park
on
saturday
and
sunday,
so
you
have
those
who
want
the
park
open
on
the
weekends
and
those
that
I'm
I'm
making
sure
that
I'm
taking
care
of
those
citizens
that
are
within
that
surrounding
area
to
make
sure
your
voice
is
being
heard
and
you're.
Basically,
your
demands
are
being
addressed
in
in
safety
because
I
am
concerned,
but
we
do
have
things
positive
things.
That's
going
on
in
that
part.
AG
AG
I
would
I
would
just
request
that
you
allow
me
to
close
that
gate,
not
the
park,
but
that
gate
and
still
the
weekends
will
stay
the
same,
but
the
obviously
the
gate.
AG
I
Like
I
said,
we
do
need
some
things,
but
there's
some
positive
stuff
going
on.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
make
a
motion
that
we
close
the
back
gate
of
the
part
permanently.
AG
Well
and
that,
and
that's
the
the
one
that
I'm
talking
about,
but
but
I
would
ask
that
you
allow
us
to
close
it
temporarily
until
we
get
together
and
figure
out.
You
know.
I
AG
I
And
I
did
want
to.
I
did
want
to
bring
up
something
that
I
think
is
true
and
I'm
not
sure
and
I'm
going
to
ask
you
but
is
carver
park,
the
only
one
that
has
two
gates
like
an
entrance
and
an
exit
because
all
the
other
parts
I
mean
not
lake
bottom,
because
that's
open,
but
all
the
other
parts
only
have
one
central
entrance
to
the
parks.
AG
I
But
you
know
deputy
director
goodwin
said
he
passed
two,
so
the
only
ones
that
have
two
is
heath
and
carver
park.
I
was
just
asking
because
that
was
one
of
the
questions
that
the
citizens
over
in
your
community
asked.
Was.
You
know
basically
why
carl
park
has
two
and
no
other?
You
know
parts
but
yeah.
AG
AG
Yeah
and
miss
mayor
to
councillor
thomas's
point:
you
know
I
would
definitely
consult
fire
ems
because
we
don't
want
an
ambulance
trying
to
get
in
there
from
the
backside,
because
that's
the
fastest
entrance
to
rescue
someone
that
may
be
in
distress
or
whatever
and
got
to
go
all
the
way
back
around.
So
you
know
we'll
make
sure
that,
even
when
we
close
it
until
we
come
back
that
fire,
ems
will
and
and
public
safety
will
have
access
through
that
gate,
no.
AC
D
D
AC
That
authority
in
the
ordinance,
I
think
that
authority
exists
right
now
and
I
think,
based
on
the
referral
from
the
district
councillor,
the
city
manager
will
bring
back
a
report
on
it
and
we'll
have
and
we'll
have
consulted
with
all
of
those
organizations.
Public
safety
and
the
individuals
that
have
brought
the
information
up.
Yeah.
V
So
we're
waiting
we're
waiting
to
see
if
the
city
manager
has
oh
he's
ready
to
speak.
I
tell
you
because
I
was
going
to
say
something
about
emotion,.
AC
I
AD
We
amended
the
ordinance,
and
now
it
says
that
the
general
rule
is
it's
unlawful
to
enter
it
into
the
parts
between
the
hours
of
11
pm
and
5
am,
except
for
those
activities
supervised,
scheduled
by
department
of
parks
and
rec
city
manager,
in
consultation
with
the
chief
of
police
or
department
of
public
health
may
issue,
administrative
orders
closing
any
specific
part
or
playground
for
additional
hours
in
the
event,
public
safety
or
public
health
concerns
warrant.
Such
closure.
AU
V
I
I
withdraw
it,
but
I
will
ask
that
we
actually
instant
institute
that
as
soon.
I
But
again,
I
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
because
this
is
what
what
we
call
citizen
engagement
and
we
need
this
type
of
engagement.
We
need
to
know
what
we
need
to
do
from
you
all.
So
I
appreciate
you,
mr
carr.
Thank
you.
AG
Yes,
judge
if
you
would
come
on
up
we'll
go
right
to
judge
the
antonio,
and
I
know
the
finance
director
is
in
in
the
back
and
we'll
speak
to.
Why
he's
here
and
judge,
if
you
don't
man
we'll
let
the
finance
director
speak
to
you
know,
we
require
elected
officials,
department,
heads
to
come
to
council
when
they're
going
to
exceed
their
budget
and
that's
why
we're
here
with
judge
d'antonio
today.
J
Good
afternoon,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
the
probate
judge
judge
mark
d'antonio
is
here
pursuant
to
ordinance
13-39.
That
says
that
if
a
department
or
elected
office
will
exceed
their
current
budget
appropriations,
they
have
to
come
before
council
and
request
additional
appropriations
and
the
judges.
Here.
Obviously,
he
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
in
terms
of
the
request,
but
the
request
in
terms
of
what
we'll
need,
what
we,
I
think,
we'll
need
to
end
out
the
rest
of
fy22
is
about
five
thousand
dollars.
AV
AV
Part
of
my
budget
overruns
often
involve
guardian
ad
litem
fees
and
attorneys
fees,
and
where
that
comes
down
is
I
sometimes
interfere
with
people's
basic
civil
rights,
especially
if
you're
say
at
the
bradley
center
and
it's
been
determined
that
you're
a
danger
to
yourself
or
others
to
be
released
from
the
bradley
center.
You
have
a
right
to
counsel
before
well
and
appear
before
me
and
tell
me
why
you
shouldn't
have
to
stay
longer.
AV
AV
AV
One
other
exciting
thing
I
did
want
to
tell
you
all
about
that
came
out
of
the
georgia
legislature
this
year
and
it
was
referenced
a
little
bit.
It's
house
bill,
1013,
also
known
as
the
mental
health
parity
act,
that
governor
that
speaker,
ralston
pushed
through
as
part
of
that
there
will
be
five
assisted,
outpatient
treatment,
commitment
programs
funded
through
the
state
we
right
now.
AV
But
I
hope
that
will
be
expanded
and
I
want
to
work
with
council
and
with
all
the
other,
with
law
enforcement
and
other
agencies
to
see
if
we
can
do
more
to
expand
mental
health
treatment
in
order
to
to
free
up
jail
resources
and
other
resources.
But
I
I
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity,
since
guardian
and
item
fees
are
one
of
the
fees
that
I
usually
run
over
budget
and
have
no
control
over.
But
I
do
appreciate
counsel
spending
the
time
and
I
do
appreciate
you
all
listening.
Thank
you.
AC
AG
All
right,
I
believe
we
did
so
mr
mayor
first
on
my
agenda,
has
to
do
with
the
health
and
wellness
center.
The
least
agreement
that
we
have
was
us
motion.
AC
AG
And
let
me
just
say
that
included
in
this
you've
authorized
us
to
give
notice
to
them
the
lease
assignee
that
we
do
not
intend
to
renew
the
agreement,
we're
paying
2914
dollars,
including
utilities
a
month
and
with
the
purchase
of
the
sonova's
building
that
will
be
city
hall.
AG
We've
had
conversation
with
you
about
moving
the
health
and
wellness
center
into
that
facility
and
not
paying
rent
any
longer,
and
so
this
lease
expires
november
15
this
year,
2022
and
what
this
would
do
is
allow
us
to
go
on
a
month
to
month
extension
with
this
lease
agreement
through
may
31
2023,
which
is
when
we
anticipate
our
new
city
hall.
At
least
part
of
it
would
be
ready
for
the
health
and
wellness
center.
Just
wanted
to
be
clear
on
that.
Alright,.
D
Thank
you
is
it
at
all
possible
for
them
to
temporarily
move
into
the
virginia
college,
building
where
we
wouldn't
have
to
pay
rent.
AG
There's
not
enough
space
the
space
that
we
had
left.
There
was
upstairs
that
we
did
not
finish
and
as
part
of
that
project,
where
we
renovated
and
so
and
and
I
believe
we
we've
allowed
the
elections
off
as
we
put
air.
AC
Motion
motion
approval
from
council
barnes
and
I
think
a
second
from
council
garrett
on
the
on
item
two
with
any
discussion
all
right.
Please.
AG
AG
AC
AC
AG
AG
AG
AC
To
prove
the
lease
and
purchase
of
equipment
for
the
golf
course,
all
any
discussion
hearing
none,
please
cue
it
for
vote
council
registry
vote.
AG
Okay
and
and
then
I
have
purchases
mayor
contract
extension
for
geotechnical
and
environment.
AC
AG
Yeah
and
b
is
a
forward
expedition
for
information
technology.
You
know
they
transport
all
this
computer
equipment
all
over
the
city
and
and
that's
a
ford,
explorer
and
c
would
be
side.
Loader,
refuse
trucks
option
one
cabin
chassis
and
we
are
approving
40
side,
loader,
refuse
trucks
and
the
unit
price
160,
0828,
total
price,
6.4
million
dollars
and
these
refuge
trucks
are
federally
funded
project,
is
a
federally
funded
project
and
will
be
purchased
from
through
the
american
rescue
plan.
Arp
dollars,
that's
what
these
dollars
are
arp
dollars.
AG
You
know,
we've
talked
to
you
about
the
gabian
restoration
and
the
walls
that
are
failing
on
the
riverwalk
from
along
from
the
zipline
tower
at
11th
and
bay
to
the
dillingham
street
bridge,
and
so
the
work
is
intended
to
stabilize
existing
gabien
a
walls
to
prevent
further
erosion
and
to
enhance
the
surrounding
landscape,
and
so
once
you
know
that
we're
taking
care
of
that,
and
so
those
are
the
purchases.
And
then
I've
got
three
more
updates
one.
AG
We
spoke
to
you
about
during
the
budget
review
last
week,
tax
assessors
office
update
and
then
the
next
one
we
share
with
you
at
the
budget
meeting
on
indigent
care.
We
want
to
share
that
with
the
public
and
then
the
final
one
would
be
the
t
splash
update,
that
you've
heard
numerous
times,
but
going
back
to
the
indigent
care
you
heard
representative
schmeyer
and
the
delegation
in
their
delegation
report
this
morning,
tell
you
that
they
passed
that
legislation
as
requested
and
so
after
they
passed
it
and
the
governor
sanded
on
the
april.
AG
AW
Good
afternoon,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
council,
mr
hugley,
for
allowing
me
to
stop
in
and
just
discuss.
What's
going
on
with
the
digest
in
the
timeline
in
2020,
we
decided
not
to
make
any
changes
to
the
digest
for
covid
reasons,
because
we
weren't
really
sure
what
the
true
effect
of
covid
on
the
digest
was.
AW
So
we
left
it
alone
for
20
and
21,
and
now
that
life
is
returning
to
normal
it's
time
to
do
the
standard
market
adjustments
and
we
were
running
a
little
bit
behind.
We
lost
a
couple
people
in
our
office
due
to
covid
and
we
we
had
some
turnover,
and
so
we
were
a
little
late,
getting
all
of
our
sales
into
the
system.
AW
So
we
finally
finished
getting
all
the
2021
sales
into
the
system
and
we
started
the
market
adjustments
and
ran
into
some
hiccups
and
have
had
to
have
some
refreshes
done
in
our
team,
our
test
environment.
We
we
run
two
environments,
one's
a
test,
environment,
one's
a
production
environment,
and
when
we
go
to
make
adjustments,
we
do
those
in
the
test
environment
we
ran
into
a
few
hiccups.
We
had
to
get
some
refreshes
done.
AW
AG
AG
So
she
she
talked
about
the
first
notices
in
collect
15th
and
of
october
and
then
december
1st.
Does
this
in
any
way
impact
our
collections?
You
know
in
the
year
before
it
did
and
we
had
to
do
a
tax
anticipation,
note
and
go
through
that
process.
J
It
does
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
maintain
the
same
dates
and
and
and
in
all
honesty
with
31st
being
here,
that's
most
certainly
going
to
change
the
schedule
that
tentative
schedule
that
I
sort
of
laid
out
last
week.
We're
gonna
have
to
circle
back
with
the
tax
commissioner's
office
if
it
was
if,
if
they
could
go
out,
if
the
notices
could
go
out
on
the
23rd
the
week
of
the
23rd.
AW
AW
And
this
is
this:
was
the
timeline
that
we
had
set
up
with
the
tax
commissioner's
office,
the
revised
timeline,
because
what
it
is
is
they'll
go
to
the
printer
the
week
of
the
23rd
okay
for
printing
on
the
31st.
You
will
still
get
your
data,
so
you
can
do
your
pt
32..
Also.
J
But
I
know
that
wasn't
your
question,
mr
manager,
you
asked
about
the
timeline
in
terms
of
attack
tax
anticipation,
note,
and
I
believe
the
only
impact
will
be
the
the
the
timeline
for
the
first
installment.
With
everything
being
pushed
back
to
two
weeks.
AG
AG
J
AC
Well,
no
real
financial
implications
and,
as
the
finance
director
pointed
out,
the
fund
balances
is
not
a
static
amount
of
money
that
just
sits
in
an
account
drawing
interest.
It's
actually,
it's
actually
used
in
our
our
cash
flow
operations.
So
towards
the
time
when
our
revenues
come
in
from
from
property
taxes
have
normal
taxes,
we
do
utilize
some
of
the
fund
balance
and
then
that's
replenished
by
those
those
those
receipts
coming
in
so.
T
AG
All
right
mayor:
well,
I'm
we're
good
with
that.
Thank
you.
So
next
I
have
indigent
care
update
from
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge,
and
then
she
will
also
do
the
t-splash
update.
AU
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council,
mr
city
manager,
mr
city
attorney,
this
is
the
presentation
that
you
heard
during
the
budget
review
session,
but
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
the
information
in
the
public.
Again,
we
are
coming
out
of
a
30-year
agreement
with
the
medical
center
hospital
authority
that
agreement
will
expire
on
june
30th
of
22..
AU
There
was
a
section
in
the
charter
that
would
need
to
be
amended
for
anything
different
than
the
three
mills,
so
that
past
city
council,
with
resolution
354-21
in
october
of
2021,
to
request
the
local
legislative
delegation
to
put
forward
that
local
act
and,
as
you
heard
this
morning,
that
was
one
of
the
updates
that
dean
smirey
provided
the
house
did
pass
that
on.
I
need
to
clear
this
screen
really
quick.
AU
went
to
the
governor's
office
and
that
was
signed
by
the
governor
on
april,
the
18th
of
22,
and
so
in
the
recommended
budget
that
was
presented
to
council
on
april.
The
26th
includes
up
to
2.5
mills
of
indigent
health
care
at
12.5
million
dollars,
and
so
what
that
means
is
that
we
will
be
looking
at
a
resolution,
and
I
think
it
was
decided
during
the
budget
review
session.
AU
That's
for
those
who
have
inpatient
and
outpatient
services
outside
of
what
is
provided
at
the
jail
through
their
medical
contract.
These
services
include
inpatient,
outpatient,
hospital
care,
x-rays,
laboratory,
primary
medical
care,
pharmaceuticals,
mental
health
care
services,
and
so,
as
the
budget
process
moves
forward,
those
revenues
on
this
millage
would
be
collected.
AU
Those
would
be
in
october
and
december,
as
you
just
heard,
from
the
finance
director,
and
so
this
rfp
will
be
awarded
either
one
contract
or
multiple
contracts.
Our
expectation
is,
it
will
be
multiple
contracts
for
different
types
of
services
to
provide
health
care
services
for
our
inmates,
and
so
that
rfp
and
I've
heard
already
from
a
couple
of
providers
who
are
interested
in
providing
services
making
sure
that
everyone
who's
interested
gets
registered
as
a
vendor.
AU
AG
And
so
agreements
this
was
a
30-year
agreement
agreement.
It
comes
to
it
expires
on
june
30th
2022
this
year
and
and
so
we're
going
to
do
up
to
two
and
a
half
meals
and
and
it'll,
basically
through
the
rfp,
be
open
and
organizations
like
piedmont,
saint
francis
valley,
health
care
institute,
others
first,
it
could
we'll
all
have
an
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
this
indigent
care
process,
and
these
are
going
to
be
reimbursable.
AU
AG
AU
Right
the
way
that
our
the
way
we're
expecting
the
rfp
to
be
structured
is
that
they
would
be
one
year
agreements
that
could
be
renewed
each
year.
If
satisfactory
services
have
been
provided
to
those
indigent
residents,
so
it
will
be
a
probably
a
five-year
agree.
One-Year
agreement
with
four
one-year
renewals
is
how
we
typically
structure
contracts
to
make
sure
that
they're
providing
the
services
that
we.
AU
That's
correct,
you
know
one
of
the
the
things
that
we
have
in
the
existing
agreement
doesn't
provide
for
that
level
of
accountability.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
serving
the
most
residents
that
we
can,
that
meet
the
qualifications
to
be
indigent
and
to
provide
that
reporting
and
that
information
back
to
this
council
and
to
the
public.
AC
AU
AC
A
lot
has
changed
over
30
years,
to
say
the
least,
and
so
what
this
does
in
my
mind
anyway,
is
it:
creates
opportunities
for
a
wider
array
of
medical
services
that
may
not
have
been
considered
earlier.
Mental
health
counseling
things
of
that
nature,
and
it
also
gives
us
an
opportunity,
depending
on
how
many
make
proposals
to
perhaps
expand
the
distribution
points
for
some
of
this
care.
So
you
know
bottom
line.
AC
I
think
it
has
an
opportunity
to
increase
the
amount
of
medical
care,
that's
available
and
increase
the
availability
and,
at
the
same
time,
do
it
at
a
little
bit
less
cost
to
the
citizens
of
columbus
georgia,
while
not,
while
not
scrimping,
at
all,
on
what
we're
providing
for
those
that
qualify
for
the
industry
care
program.
That's.
AG
AG
So
you
can
see
that
while
we
have
grown
in
population
in
over
the
30
years,
there's
been
a
growth
or
an
increase
in
the
value
of
three
meals,
and
so
we
will
be
able
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
with
indigent
care
with
up
to
2.5
meals,
and
so
we
just
want
to
share
that,
mr
mayor,
and
so
if
there
are
no
questions
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
no
questions.
AU
So
again,
this
is
a
presentation
that
you've
heard
this
is
the
transportation
special
purpose,
local
options,
sales
tax
that
will
be
on
the
ballot
may
24th.
It
is
the
last
question
on
the
ballot.
This
is
a
regional
sales
tax.
It.
We
are
part
of
the
river
valley
region,
which
is
made
up
of
16
counties.
AU
So
this
tax-
and
this
vote
is
determined
by
a
collective
amount
of
votes
for
all
16
counties,
not
specifically
for
muskogee
county,
it's
for
all
16
counties,
so
it
could
fail
in
one
of
those
counties
and
still
pass
collectively,
and
then
all
16
counties
would
be
required
to
levy
that
sales
tax.
For
this
10-year
period
of
time,
we
currently
have
a
t-splost
where
there
are
23
projects
in
the
region,
for
a
total
investment
list
of
410
million
three
are
under
construction
and
17
of
those
projects
have
been
completed.
AU
This
is
the
timeline
for
the
existing
t
sploss.
It
expires
december
31st
of
this
year.
If
the
new
t
splash
passes,
it
will
start
january
1st,
so
there
would
be
no
change
in
the
total
sales
tax
rate.
If
the
new
t-splash
passes,
it
would
continue
this
existing
t-splost
for
an
additional
period
of
time,
so
in
the
existing
t-splos
from
2012.
AU
These
are
the
projects
that
were
part
of
that
t-splost,
the
riverwalk
at
10
million
dollars.
That
project
has
been
completed.
The
follow
me
trail
at
three
and
a
half
million.
That
project
has
been
completed
us
27
custer,
a
20
million
dollar
project
as
an
interchange.
That
project
has
been
completed.
AU
Metra
22.4
million
for
additional
services
at
metra
capital
replacement,
that
is
in
progress.
The
spiderweb
project
is
under
construction.
This
is
a
40
million
dollar
project.
We
should
be
bidding
out
the
actual
bridge
by
the
end
of
this
year,
the
buena
vista
I
185
road,
interchange
or
the
diverging
diamond
that
is
under
construction
at
this
time.
This
is
a
project
that
gdot
is
managing
for
the
city.
AU
AU
AU
So
also
as
part
of
a
t-splash,
there
is
what's
called
discretionary
funds,
so
75
percent
of
the
funds
collected
go
towards
projects.
25
percent
of
the
funds
go
to
discretionary
back
to
the
individual
counties.
Each
county
is
receives
an
allocation.
These
are
the
projects
that
have
been
completed
or
allocated
with
our
t-splost
dollars.
AU
We
have
collected
through
fi
21
22.475
million,
and
these
are
the
projects
that
have
been
completed
again
or
are
allocated
resurfacing.
27
miles
of
resurfacing.
At
6.75
million,
the
boxwood
boulevard
bridge
replacement
was
completed
with
t-splos
discretionary
funds,
benning
dry
bridge
claridon
bridge
morris
road
bridge.
The
warm
springs
road
culvert
was
also
done
with
t
splost
discretionary
funds.
This
one
is
almost
complete.
AU
Victory,
drive
improvements,
traffic
calming
the
double
churches
park,
parking
salmon
road
signal
in
these
three
signals:
salmon
road
river
road,
jr
allen
signal
and
victory
drive,
10th
avenue
signal.
These
funds
have
been
allocated
towards
these
projects,
we're
waiting
on
materials
which
we
expect
in
july.
For
these
projects
to
be
completed,
the
reese
road
bridge
was
partially
funded
with
t-splash
discretionary
we've
used
almost
2
million
dollars
for
matching
funds
for
extend
expansion
of
the
dragonfly
trail
network
sidewalks,
the
infantry
road
and
trail
the
match
for
z.
230
funds
was
from
t
splash
discretionary.
AU
AU
For
the
2023,
the
news
chiefs
boss,
that's
on
the
ballot
may
24th
the
final
investment
list,
a
664
or
the
final
projection
is
664
million.
75
percent
is
allocated
to
projects
25
percent
to
discretionary
funds.
G
dot
does
manage
the
program
for
the
region,
so
there's
an
administrative
fee
and
they've
also
provided
for
inflation
in
this
calculation.
AU
AU
So
these
are
the
projects
specifically
in
muskogee
county.
It's
a
total
project
list
of
303
million,
and
I
want
to
walk
through
these
because
I
want
to
make
sure
I
know
you've
heard
this
presentation
many
times.
I
want
to
make
sure
the
citizens
understand
the
projects,
that's
included
on
this
list
and
they're
in
bands.
So
band
one
is
the
first
three
years
of
the
t.
Splost
these
projects
would
start
in
2023
through
2025.
AU
AU
This
is
widening
from
two
and
four
lanes
to
three
lanes
from
winton
road
to
ildis,
road
and
again,
with
sidewalks
and
the
multi-use
trail
south
lumpkin
road
improvements
from
victory,
drive
to
the
roundabout
with
sidewalks
and
the
multi-use
trail
university,
avenue,
road
diet
and
streetscapes.
This
is
from
manchester
expressway
to
macon
road.
This
would
be
a
reduction
from
four
to
two
lanes
or
actually
three
lanes
there'd
be
a
turn
lane,
as
well
with
pedestrian
and
bicycle
facilities,
13th
avenue,
17th,
street
and
linwood.
This
would
be
roundabout
at
this
intersection
liberty,
theater
block
enhancements.
AU
This
would
be
along
8th
avenue
from
and
7th
avenue
from
8th
street
to
9th
street
the
5th
avenue
corridor
connector.
This
is
a
multi-use
path
between
14th
street
and
10th
street.
This
is
a
connection
andrew's
road
improvements
from
and
on
andrews,
road
from
buena
vista
road
to
casita
road,
a
widening
project
from
two
to
three
lanes
again
with
sidewalks,
a
multi-use
trail
and
brennan
road
improvements
from
buena
vista
road
to
casita
road,
again,
a
widening
project
from
two
to
three
lanes
with
sidewalks
and
multi-use
trail.
AU
These
are
all
the
projects
that
would
happen
with
start
to
happen
within
the
first
three
years
of
the
t
splash,
which
is
band
one.
We
also
have
projects
in
band.
Two
band
two
includes
the
second
avenue
improvements
from
manchester
expressway
to
tarleton,
also
including
the
multi-use
trail
sidewalks
and
landscaping,
j.r
allen
at
schomburg
and
blackmon.
This
is
east
and
westbound
ramp
improvements.
AU
And
this
is
from
macon
road
to
woodrow
farm
road
from
two
to
three
lanes,
also
with
a
roundabout
at
trinity
and
forest
again,
this
project
includes
sidewalks
and
the
multi-use
trail
morris
road
improvements
from
buena
vista
road
to
forest
road.
This
is
a
widening
project
from
two
to
three
lanes
with
the
sidewalks
and
multi-use
trail
casita
road
widening
from
two
to
three
lanes.
AU
There
would
be
a
roundabout
at
10th
avenue
in
north
lumpkin
or
from
10th
avenue
all
the
way
down
to
the
new
roundabout,
with
a
roundabout
at
north,
lumpkin
and
23rd,
and
also
at
brown
and
andrews
again.
This
project
includes
sidewalks
and
multi-use
trail
and
then
we're
into
band
three
williams
road
widening.
This
would
be
from
two
to
three
lanes
from
veterans
parkway
to
I-185,
double
churches,
road
improvements
from
veterans,
parkway
to
river
road,
a
multi-use
trail
and
sidewalks
and
intersection
improvements
along
double
churches
in
whitesville
road
county
line,
mahaffey
central
church
road.
AU
This
is
a
shared
project
with
harris
county.
This
would
include
interchange
and
intersection
improvements
and
widening
the
bridge
also
widening
a
hafi
from
two
to
three
lanes
and
to
provide
pedestrian
and
bicycle
facilities
and
then
bull,
creek,
dragonfly
trail
connector.
This
would
lead
from
rigden
rigdon
park
to
woodrow
farm
rigdon
road
to
woodrow
farm
soccer
complex.
This
is
a
nine
and
a
half
mile
trail
connection
to
our
dragonfly
trail
network.
AU
AU
When
you
couple
that,
with
the
existing
t
splost
this
discretionary
funds,
the
project
list-
that's
included
in
the
t
splost
for
2023,
as
well
as
discretionary
funds
for
the
new
t-splost,
if
it
were
to
pass-
includes
626
million
dollars
of
transportation
enhancements
to
muskogee
county
that
otherwise
would
take
years
for
muskogee
county
to.
AU
AU
We
had
a
series
of
public
meetings
to
provide
this
information.
We've
been
sharing
this
information
at

the
last
couple
months
to
make
sure
that
the

are
informed

this
question
that
will

I'm
not
sure
what
all
is
going
to

at
this
point

do
not
have
a

to
us,
so

but
it
we
will
start
at
nine
o'clock
next
tuesday
morning.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
