B
December
14th
council
meeting:
this
will
be
our
last
council
meeting
in
2021,
so
we
appreciate
you
being
here
with
us
this
morning.
We
are
going
to
begin
as
we
always
do
and
that's
by
asking
for
god's
blessing
and
presence
on
these
proceedings
and
I'm
going
to
invite
to
the
microphone
pastor,
reggie
williams
from
south
columbus,
united
methodist
church,
pastor
williams.
Thank
you,
sir,
for
being
here.
Thank
you.
Let's
pray.
C
Gracious
god
we
thank
you
for
the
gift
of
life.
Today,
lord,
we
slept
comfortably
because
you
never
sleep,
and
for
that
we
give
you
thanks.
We
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
serve
and
to
lead,
and
god,
as
we
look
at
our
city,
there
are
so
many
needs
that
we
have
and
we
pray
for
council
today
as
they
conduct
the
business
of
the
city
as
each
member
looks
out
for
their
constituents.
C
May
we
all
remember
that
we
are
all
in
the
same
boat
and
therefore
lord.
We
pray
that
you
will
help
this
council
to
have
wisdom,
the
wisdom
of
solomon
and
to
find
balance
to
be
able
to
cause
this
city
to
do
their
part
to
cause
us
this
city
to
shine
like
a
city
on
a
shining
hill.
This
is
a
good
city
in
which
to
live
with
his
problems,
and
god
we
know
that
there
there
are.
There
is
no
silver
bullet,
but
together
we
can
make
a
big
difference
as
they
conduct
their
business
today.
B
Amen,
pastor,
thank
you
for
those
words,
they're
very
timely,
and
yes,
we
appreciate
what
you
and
your
church
are
doing,
and
we
appreciate
what
you
do.
I
know
with
the
second
chance
works
program
that
is
having
an
impact
throughout
the
schools
and
out
of
our
community.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir
councillor
huff,
pastor.
D
Williams
good
morning,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
always
good
to
see
you
thank
you
for
all
you're
doing
some
things
you
do
behind
the
scenes.
I
got
a
phone
call
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
about
some
things,
you're
working
on
so
I'll.
Give
you
a
call
soon
and
get
with
you,
but
thank
you
for
your
love
for
the
area.
I
appreciate
you.
Thank
you.
D
B
B
Hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
The
minutes
are
approved
very
briefly,
update
on
kovitt.
I
know
it's
still
in
the
news
and
it's
still
in
in
the
community,
but
I
will
say
that,
despite
the
fact
that
the
numbers
creeped
up
just
a
little
bit
as
we
expected
after
thanksgiving,
the
hospitalization
rate
has
actually
stayed
very
very
flat,
so
we're
staying
under
30
in
hospitals,
and
that
is
exceptionally
good,
because
that's
the
number
that
we
kind
of
look
at
to
make
sure
that
there
are
no
real
dangerous
surges.
B
We
pray
everybody
stays
safe
through
this
through
this
holiday
season.
I've
got
one
other
item
that
we
want
to
bring
up.
Actually
it's
actually
a
resolution.
That's
on
the
it's
an
add-on
on
the
city
attorney's
or
might
be.
I
think
it's
on
the
city
manager's
agenda,
but
before
I
bring
it
forward
to
council.
I
want
to
make
just
a
few
comments.
We
just
talked
a
little
bit
about
covid
and
we
all
understand
that
that
there
have
been
so
many
different
impacts
because
of
coba.
B
B
We
have
we're
down
about
20
drivers
in
metra,
we're
we're
running
saturday
routes
seven
days
a
week
because
which
means
we're
getting
the
routes
taken
care
of
it
just
means
that
sometimes
they
have
to
wait
a
little
bit
longer
for
the
bus
to
come
through
we're
down
everybody's
well
aware
of
the
challenges
we've
had
with
our
integrated
waste
fund
and
picking
up
waste
throughout
the
community.
B
We're
we
need
52
drivers
to
be
able
to
just
run
the
basic
routes
we've
got
about
34.
I
think
right
now,
somewhere
around
it's
in
the
low
30s
and
we've
also.
B
We've
also
seen
how
it
has
impacted
public
safety
around
around
the
country,
but
specifically
right
here
in
columbus,
our
police
department
very
short
staffed.
Our
sheriff's
department
short
staffed.
We've
seen
the
impact
too
in
other
cities,
when
short-staffed
correctional
officers
were
overwhelmed
by
five
prisoners
who
escaped
down
in
middle
georgia.
B
We
also
have
problems
with
staffing
in
our
mcp,
so
council
very
wisely
has
appropriated
funding
that
is
going
to
allow
us
to
conduct
a
pay
study,
because
we
know
right
now,
more
than
ever,
it's
more
critical
that
we
are
competitive
in
what
we're
paying
our
people
so
that
we
can
continue
to
attract
folks.
Who
will
allow
us
to
continue
to
provide
services
to
the
public,
because
that's
the
name
of
the
game.
It's
making
sure
that
the
end
users
are
getting
services.
B
But
we
also
know
that
that
pay
study
is
going
to
take
time.
We're
in
the
process
of
issuing
an
rfp.
We'll
then
have
to
go
through
those
identify
a
contractor.
The
contractor
will
do
their
work,
present
their
findings,
and
then
we
will
implement
the
pay
study
and
that
could
take
up
to
a
year.
That
could
put
us
in
this
same
position
all
the
way
through
2022.
B
we've
got
some
critical
issues.
As
we
mentioned
earlier.
We
have
set
aside
over
10
million
dollars
for
the
implementation
of
that
pay
plan,
so
we
are
already
ceding
our
ability
to
fund
it
at
some
level.
We
will
implement
that
pay
plan
when
it
comes
through,
but
we
can't
wait
that
long.
So
we're
going
to
ask
we're
asking
council
this
morning
to
consider
a
bridge.
If
you
will.
This
is
not
a
new
pay
plan.
It's
not
an
additional
pay
plan.
It's
not
an
answer
to
compression.
B
B
So
our
intention
is
to
raise
and
I'm
going
to
ask
arether
hollowell
our
hr
director
to
come
fill
in
the
gaps,
but
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
high
points,
we're
going
to
ask
council
to
approve
a
plan
that
will
allow
us
to
increase
the
sign-on
bonus
for
columbus
police
department
for
the
mcp
and
for
the
sheriff's
department
to
five
thousand
dollars.
It's
not
an
additional
five
thousand
dollars.
It'll
be
a
five
thousand
dollar
sign-on
bonus
that'll
be
paid
in
increments
throughout
that
first
year.
B
In
addition
to
that,
every
sworn
officer
in
columbus
police
department,
the
sheriff's
department,
mcp
and
cfems,
and
including
our
9-1-1
dispatchers,
who
are
also
thin
in
their
ranks,
will
begin
to
receive
a
retention
bonus,
pay
each
quarter
until
the
implementation
of
the
pay
plan
in
the
amount
of
1500
a
quarter.
This
will
be
retroactive.
B
The
reason
we're
asking
council
to
approve
this
with
a
resolution
today
is
we'd
like
to
make
that
first
payment
to
our
employees
in
january
and
again
this
is
not
a
pay
plan.
This
is
a
bridge
to
get
us
from
one
critical
situation
to
a
point
when
we
really
believe
we'll
be
able
to
fund
that
pay
plan
at
a
level
that
will
bring
us
up
to
where
we
need
to
be
to
be
competitive
and
to
retain
our
people.
B
B
It
is
a
bridge
we
have
consulted
with
our
our
chiefs
and
our
warden
to
make
sure
that
that
that
this
is
something
that
they
believe
will
help
them
not
just
recruit,
but
also
hang
on
to
their
people,
as
we
continue
to
do
what
we
can
to
improve
the
numbers
in
our
ranks
and
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
our
cities
safe.
B
F
Good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
I
want
to
share
with
you
a
brief
presentation.
As
the
mayor
has
said,
with
regard
to
public
safety,
this
has
to
do
with
officer
retention
and
recruitment.
It's
an
initiative
that
will
take
effect
in
january
of
2022
with
a
retroactive
piece,
beginning
retroactive
to
october
1..
So,
to
begin
with,
is
a
5
000
sign
on
bonus.
This
is
for
recruitment
of
new
officers.
F
The
departments
that
are
going
to
be
impacted
by
this
five
thousand
dollar
sign-on
bonus
include
the
police
department,
the
sheriff's
office
and
muskogee
county
prison,
where
those
departments
are
in
critical
need
of
being
able
to
recruit
and
retain
new
officers.
As
mayors
mentioned,
it
is
a
five
thousand
dollar
sign-on
bonus.
As
you
all
know.
Now,
there
is
already
in
place
a
two
thousand
dollar
sign-on
bonus,
and
this
will
complement
that.
F
So,
as
you
see
there,
it's
the
officer
upon
their
hire
and
completion
of
the
academy,
that
is,
their
training,
that
they'll
initially
get
that
typically
takes
six
months.
They'll
get
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
sign
on
bonus
and
then
at
once,
once
they're
released
into
training.
They'll
get
the
additional
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
for
a
total
of
five
thousand
dollars.
F
That's
going
to
be
spread
over
about
a
12-month
period
and
as
you'll
see
there
in
that
column,
in
terms
of
the
average
higher
the
police
department
based
on
a
five-year
history,
their
average
higher
is
about
48
officers
a
year
with
the
sheriff's
office.
It's
about
40
officers
a
year
and
at
the
prison
is
about
39
officers
a
year
and
then
to
the
right.
You
see
the
total
that
that
bonus
will
cost
for
each
of
those
area,
bringing
a
total
cost
of
about
635
000
and
again.
This
is
for
the
calendar
year
of
2022.
F
F
The
mayor
is
putting
forth
a
fifteen
hundred
dollar
per
quarter
retention
bonus
for
officers,
and
you
see
the
departments
that
are
going
to
be
impacted
there.
That
includes
the
police
department,
muscogee
county
prison,
fire
and
ems
and
the
sheriff's
office.
These
are
all
sworn
officers.
You
see
the
totals
in
those
departments
totaling
about
1200
or
so
officers
in
public
safety.
F
The
mayor
mentioned
also,
this
particular
incentive
retention.
Bonus
will
be
retroactive
to
october
1
of
2021,
and
it
will
be
paid
out
sometime
in
january.
We
expect
it
to
be
paid
out
about
the
first
pay
bi-weekly
pay
period
in
january,
so
how
this
will
work.
This
is
just
a
very
basic
retention,
bonus
schedule
that
I've
outlined
here
for
you
seeing
the
first
quarter,
the
fourth
quarter,
which
we're
in
right
now
october
november
december.
That's
the
first
quarter,
we'll
pay
it
out
in
january.
F
F
So
now
in
terms
of
funding
for
the
for
this
particular
the
sign-on
bonus
and
for
the
retention
supplement,
I'm
going
to
ask
the
finance
director
to
just
come
and
share
in
terms
of
how
this
is
going
to
be
funded.
We've
noted
that
there's
going
to
be
a
use
of
fund
balance
reserve
as
well
as
existing
salary
savings.
But
I
want
her
to
at
least
speak
to
the
funding
source
of
this.
G
H
I
So,
as
the
hr
director
mentioned,
fund
balance
reserves
will
cover
some
of
the
costs
for
this,
but
just
due
to
the
shortage
and
the
offices
that
we
have
in
the
various
public
safety
departments,
a
lot
of
this
cost
will
be
covered
by
existing
salary
savings
that
they
already
have
in
those
departments,
and
we
do
budget
to
some
degree
for
some
salary
savings
already,
but
just
due
to
the
really
low
numbers
and
the
officers
that
we
have
in
our
various
public
safety
departments,
salary
savings
will
cover
most
of
the
costs
for
this.
J
J
So
I
use
that
example
to
ask
this
question:
is
there
any
kind
of
a
commitment
on
the
person
that
we
recruit
to
stay
with
us
for
a
certain
period
of
time
or
pay
back
the
bonus
or
pay
back
the
training
that
they're
receiving,
because
the
training
that
they
receive
from
the
columbus
police
department
exceeds
any
training
in
the
state?
If
not
in
this
whole
southeast
region?
J
F
That's
a
very
good
question
and
it's
a
question
that
I
would
have.
I
don't
know
if
the
police
chief
is
here,
but
I
would
like
for
him
to
speak
to
if
an
officer
comes
and
they
leave
within
two
years.
He
can
explain
it
a
lot
better
than
I.
There
is
a
penalty
that
is
associated
for
those
officers
that
come
take
advantage
of
our
training
and
they
leave
within
a
two-year
period.
So
I
do
want
him
to
respond
to
that.
F
There
is
no
contract
intern
related
to
the
sign-on
bonus
other
than
our
being
able
to
spread
it
out
over
this
12-month
cycle
to
give
it
to
them.
But
there
is
no.
There
is
no
contract
associated
with
that.
If
that
is
something
that
council
would
like
to
see,
certainly
we
can
engage
our
legal
department
to
assist
us
with
a
contract
related
to
the
five
thousand
dollar
sign
on
bonus.
K
And
I
know
the
chief
is
coming,
but
would
you
just
explain
the
bonus
payout?
I
know
you've
done
it,
but
for
those
watching
explain
the
bonus
payout
in
increments
and
then
the
chief
can
come.
F
Right
exactly
so
the
officer
once
hired
they
will.
They
will
be
here
six
months
before
they
see
anything.
They
will
go
through
their
training
period,
so
they'll
be
here
six
months
and
then
they'll
get
their
first.
2500
dollar
bonus
sign
on
bonus
after
the
next
six
months,
which
means
that
they
will
have
completed
training,
they're
ready
to
go
on
the
street
independently.
L
They
have,
according
to
state
law
up
to
two
years
that
they
are
to
be
committed
to
that
particular
department
without
penalty,
and
so,
if,
if
an
officer
leaves
that
law
enforcement
agency
within
a
two-year
window
after
receiving
their
training,
then
they're
responsible
for
paying
back
the
cost
for
training.
And
this
is
something
that,
over
the
course
of
the
years,
our
department
has
collaborated
with
our
city
attorney's
office
and
and
communicated
that
information
to
some
other
departments
and
some
officers
that
have
left
and
so
they've.
L
We've
tried
to
receive
some
of
that
money
in
return
over
the
course
of
years,
so
that
there
is
something
in
law
as
it
relates
to
when
the
officer
receives
training
and
leaves
within
two
years
and
goes
to
another
law
enforcement
agency.
Now,
if
they
leave
and
go
to
some
employment,
that's
not
law
enforcement
related.
L
B
J
N
O
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I'm
glad
to
see
that
this
proposal
is
being
put
out
on
the
table
today.
O
O
Some
people
would
say
it's
very
restrictive
at
the
same
time,
but
we
have
a
really
good
training
program
here
and
we've
always
heard
the
concerns
around
this
table,
and
you
know
that's
that's
the
conversation
here
now
on
the
commitment
side
is
that
we
train
them
and
then
everybody
else
takes
them
because
we
train
them
so
well,
I
hear
a
couple
things
within
there.
I
hear
what
the
state
says,
but
I'd
like
to
know
locally
legally
what
we
can
do
as
far
as
a
commitment
or
the
further
solidify
someone,
an
agreement
or
a
contract.
O
You
know
there
should
be
a
commitment
tied
to
that
now
if
they
were
to
go
to
another
agency
in
the
private
sector-
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
let's
just
say
the
the
fbi,
the
the
c.
You
know
the
the
secret
service
or
border
patrol
or
something
like
that
now
I
don't
know
how
that
plays
into
this,
but
I
have
heard
stories
where
we
train
them
and
they
move
into
that
area
or
you
know,
go
overseas
and
do
some
kind
of
security.
O
That
kind
of
stuff
too,
I'm
just
focusing
in
on
those
potential
loopholes
that
deal
with
that
concern
that
deals
with
the
concern
of
commitment,
because
I
think
that's
important
and
you
know
somewhere.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
what
we're
doing
and
I
support
it.
A
hundred
percent.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
like
councilor
krabs
said
that
we're
getting
a
commitment,
if
we're
going
to
take
that
step
and
we're
going
to
make
a,
I
mean
this
is
a
big
commitment
on
the
side
of
the
citizens
and
this
government.
O
B
B
We
got
people
catching
up
with
them
and
that's
when
they're
right
for
going
to
other
agencies,
so
so
we're
going
to
have
an
opportunity
as
a
council
to
to
stop
that
from
happening,
because
if
we,
if
we
take
the
approach
that
we
don't
want
to
be
below
the
average
pay
for
police,
we
want
to
be,
if
not
the
top.
We
certainly
want
to
be
in
that
top
tier.
O
Our
health
well-
and
you
know
we
I'd
hate-
to
put
all
my
chips
on
that,
because
what
tends
to
happen
is
that
soon,
as
we
make
a
decision
here
and
we
move
forward,
phoenix
city,
lagrange
or
somebody
else-
is
going
to
move
the
bar
up
even
higher
right
and
then
it
becomes
an
issue
of
who
who
gets
more
competitive,
so
you're
in
a
constant
competition.
That's
my
concern
with
that
aspect
of
it
mayor,
but
being
able
to
fill
in
the
gaps
where
our
officers
and
our
law
enforcement.
O
You
know
we
haven't
in
the
past
and
to
deal
with
some
of
their
concerns
of
the
past.
Today
I
mean
that's
a
good
thing.
That's
there's
that
that's
a
positive
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
as
somewhat
a
second
part
of
the
the
package
here,
but
I
I
still
think
that
that
commitment
side
that
there
may
be
something
we
can
do
to
solidify
a
handshake
agreement
between
law
enforcement
and
the
citizens
and
our
local
government.
P
I'm
glad
that
we're
that
we're
moving
in
this
direction,
in
fact
when
this
is
this,
is
a
breath
of
fresh
air,
not
only
for
us
here
on
city
council,
but
for
the
citizens
as
well
that
we're
moving
in
this
direction,
because
you
know
the
the
overall
gist
that
I've
heard
is
that
we're
really
not
paying
the
men
and
women
whose
job
it
is
to
keep
us
safe,
but
we
should
and
and
you're
right.
P
You
know
we
have
the
best
training
and
I
agree
I
mean
we
are
fortunate
to
have
the
personnel
here
in
columbus,
georgia
years
of
experience
to
be
able
to
train
new
officers
coming
in
a
number
of
them.
I
know
personally,
they
they
tell
me
about
so
chief,
that's
the
training
is
par
excellence,
and
I
just
know
over
the
years
from
being
privy
to
the
some
of
the
accolades
that
that
this
department
has
gotten
it's
just
tremendous.
P
But
I'm
glad
that
charmaine
brought
this
up,
because
we
all
know
that
the
retention
is
is
an
issue
and-
and
we
have
been
blessed
sincerely
blessed
by
officers
like
yourself,
who
are
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
we're
we're
not
on
a
par
as
far
as
pay,
but
for
the
the
good
and
the
love
of
this
city
have
just
decided
to
stay,
even
with
the
shortages
which
has
put
an
additional
burden
on
you,
as
chief
and
and
the
other
mid-range
officers,
you
decided
to
stay,
and
so,
even
though
we're
offering
that
the
bonuses
in
and
mr
meredith
is
a
step,
definitely
a
huge
step
in
the
right
direction,
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
thinking
about
those
mid-range
officers,
because
they
chief,
as
you
very
well
know-
are
the
glue
there
to
see
that
in
the
military,
the
same
situation
we
stay
not
for
pay
is
not
even
an
issue
for
military.
P
It's
love
of
our
country,
god
and
country.
That's
the
bottom
line
for
military
military,
don't
campaign!
It's
the
love
of
this
country,
the
good
lord
first
and
the
blessings
we
have
here,
the
same
thing
with
public
safety,
my
son-in-law,
philadelphia,
30-something
years
that
you
know
it's
not
that
it's
the
love
of
where
they're
at
and
their
job
and
protecting
the
citizens,
and
so
I'm
so
glad
that
we
are
moving
in
this
direction.
But
I
share
what
charmaine's
saying
what
glenn
is
saying
what
you
verbalized
mr
mayor
and
I'm
pretty
much.
P
That's
the
consensus
of
the
other
counselors
here
that
we
are
looking
at
both
ends,
bringing
individuals
in
and
then
we
need
to
look
at
the
the
retention
aspect
of
it
and
yes,
just
to
put
a
little
gem
in,
because
you
know
I'm
military,
I'm
no,
not
in
uniform
at
all.
But
you
know
I've
been.
This
is
a
military
town,
and
so
some
of
my
fellow
veterans
are
saying:
why
don't
we
adopt
something
in
the
military?
P
You
get
increased,
pay
two
ways
through
rank
and
through
longevity,
so
e4
with
six
years
is
making
more
than
e4
with
two
years,
and
so
that's
a
real
easy
system.
I
know
that,
but
some
of
the
mathematicians
and
statisticians
can
come
up
with
something,
but
that's
a
fair
way
of
doing
things.
P
Long
story
short,
I'm
glad
that
we're
going
in
this
direction.
This
is
a
blessing
for
all
of
us
and
definitely
the
citizens
and
chief
you're
doing
a
marvelous
job,
but
we're
blessed
with
we're
blessed
with
the
police
department,
we're
blessed
with
the
sheriff's
department,
we're
blessed
with
muskogee
county
prison.
My
son-in-law
works
there
and
he's
working
here
for
the
love
of
his
job,
and
so
this
is
a
good
day
a
great
day.
Thank
you.
Q
Thank
you
very
much.
I
asked
the
city
attorney
if
he
can
pull
up
the
state
law
so
we're
understanding
what
it
is.
So
I
would
ask
for
him
to.
Please
quote
the
state
law
so
that
we
understand
what
we're
working
with
when
we
do
the
pay
study
and
then
I
have
a
couple
other
comments,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
all
understood
what
the
state
law
says.
R
R
If
the
officer
is
hired
by
another
agency
during
a
period
of
15
to
24
months
after
completion
of
formalized
training,
then
one
half
of
the
total
expense
of
the
training,
including
salary,
shall
be
reimbursed
by
the
hiring
agency
to
the
state
of
georgia
or
the
county.
So
that's
the
state
statute.
It
applies
to
training
costs,
not
other
sign-on
bonuses.
Q
And
so
I
wanted
us
to
read
it.
I
wanted
him
to
read
it.
So
we
understand
what
the
law
is.
So,
in
reference
to
my
colleagues,
questions
and
us
who've
been
in
the
military
before
a
commitment
can
be
set
on
some
of
these
different
bonuses
during
the
pay
plan,
I
would
not
recommend
it
now.
I
think
this
is
a
bridge
like
the
mayor
says,
and
I
support
this
bridge.
Q
I
have
a
high
respect
for
public
safety
as
a
whole
because
of
my
family
also
and
good
friends
that
I
have
in
the
system.
So,
among
accordance
with
this,
I
hope
we
can
post
this
question
and
answers
that
we
receive
city
manager
on
the
website,
our
website
plus
public
safety,
each
department
to
publicize
it.
Please
seen
it
send
an
email
to
your
employees,
because
it's
a
question
and
answer
that
could
make
ensure
that
they
understand
what
we're
doing
it's
only
a
temporary
fix
until
we
can
complete
the
pay
study.
Q
This
is
just
temporary
due
to
our
crime
rate
that
everyone's
complaining
everyone's
concerned
about,
and
this
is
just
to
try
to
help
us
reinforce
our
public
safety
to
ensure
this,
the
safety
of
our
citizens.
You
are
not
forgotten.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
our
government
employees
understand
you're,
not
forgotten
during
the
pace
study.
You
would
also
be
addressed
for
pay
increases,
and
hopefully,
some
bonuses
to
be
able
to
assist
us
to
bring
us
understand
what
my
counselor
davis
said
about
competition
with
other
communities.
Q
Q
So,
let's
do
what
we
can
do
for
who
we
have
here
and
be
able
to
recruit
those
because
a
lot
of
people
coming
from
chicago
and
new
york
interested
because
the
competition
is
too
big
over
there.
They
got
more
money,
but
the
crimes
higher
the
competition's
higher
than
it
is
so
what
are
they
doing?
They're
moving
south,
so
there
is
a
sun.
There
is
a
rainbow
at
the
end
of
this
cloud.
D
D
D
It's
just
something
we
need
to
take
a
chance
on
if
they
leave
they
leave,
but
we
have
to
take
a
chance
to
see
if
we
can
retain
these
offices
and
not
lose
anyone
else,
because
the
streets
are
dangerous
right
now
and
what's
going
on,
is
without
saying
too
much
on
camera.
Is
people
understand
when
you're
short
and
they
run
different
type
of
games
that
they
play?
D
But
public
safety
knows
what
I'm
saying
things
go
on
and
you
move
people
around
and
they
know
when
things
are
going
on,
and
there
was
a
video
circulating
yesterday
of
someone
breaking
in
someone's
car
and
leaving
a
parking
lot
up
on
the
north
side
of
town
yesterday.
So
I
am
in
favor
of
doing
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
pay
the
people
this
morning,
I'm
in
favor
of
this,
and
we
can
do
more
studying
and
try
to
see
how
we
need
to
hold
them
accountable
for
the
monies
that
we
pay
them.
D
N
Chief
blackman:
do
you
know
off
the
top
of
your
head
approximately
how
much
the
training
costs
so
that
if
a
person
has
to
pay
it
back,
how
much
do
they
have
to
pay
back?
Well,
that.
L
N
In
thinking
about
all
of
this,
that's
going
on,
I
have
a
feeling
that
most
of
the
officers
that
we
lose
are
don't
come
into
our
employment
with
the
thought.
Well,
I'm
going
to
stay
here
long
enough
to
get
trained
and
then
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
some
other
place.
I
think
they
come
in
with
the
commitment
to
the
city
of
columbus
and
it's
not
until
they've
been
here
for
a
while
that
they
see
in
other
jurisdictions.
N
This.
This
program
applies
only
to
those
newly
employed
people.
It
does
not
apply
to
the
person
who's
been
here
for
five
years.
They
don't
get
the
bonus.
They
don't
get
the
sign
on
bonus.
We
need
to
be
very
cognizant
of
that,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
let
our
folks
know
that
they
are
part
of
the
overall
pay
plan
as
we're
looking
at
the
entire
group.
N
N
Also,
I'm
I'm
going
to
support
this
and
I'm
going
to
make
sure
that
when
we
get
this
full
salary
report
back
that
it
does
speak
to
all
of
our
employees,
our
public
safety
employees
who
are
post
certified-
that's
police
officer,
safety,
training,
certified
our
public
servant
officer
training
certified
get
a
bonus,
a
stipend.
If
you
will
from
the
o
loss,
we
put
that
three
thousand
dollars
in
place
for
all
of
those
folks.
N
All
of
those
folks
are
not
included
in
this.
It's
only
the
police,
fire
jail
and
sheriff's
office.
So
we
need
to
make
sure,
as
some
of
our
counselors
have
said,
that
when
this
all
comes
to
fruition,
that
we
are
looking
out
for
all
of
those
employees
and
trying
to
work
out
a
way
to
retain
as
many
of
them
as
we
can,
and
I
think
you
have
to
look
beyond
the
second
year
yeah.
L
N
That
be
like
the
school
district
police
force.
It's.
N
Probably
the
ones
that
are
related.
K
I
just
if
I
can
just
interject
so
that
she
knows
that
we
have
had
some
to
go
to
the
muscogee
county
school
district
and
the
muscogee
county
school
district
had
to
pay
us.
N
Okay,
well,
I
just
want
us
to
make
hay
slowly
and
make
sure
that
we've
got
all
our
bases
covered
and
that
we're
doing
all
we
can
for
as
many
as
we
can.
N
Thank
you,
miss
hollowell
for
your
work
and
let's,
let's
get
this
pace,
study
done
as
quickly
as
possible
so
that
the
rest
of
our
employees
see
us
working
and
see
us
doing
something.
I've
I've
been
terribly
disappointed
in
that
we
we
talked
about
putting
together
this
pay
plan
place
study
over
a
year
ago
and
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
report
back.
N
B
You
man
and
and
to
be
to
be
clear
just
and
I
know
you
stated
it,
but
the
the
five-year
officer
and
the
25-year
officer
will
qualify
for
that
1500
per
quarter,
so
they'll
get
that
every
quarter
until
the
pay
plan
is
done.
So.
B
So
you've
got
the
sign-on
bonus
for
the
new
newer,
newer
police
officers
and
sheriff's
deputies
and
and
mcp
correctional
officers,
but
those
that
are
already
on
board.
They
all
qualify
as
sworn
officers
for
dollars
a
quarter
in
in
part
of
this
bridge,
this
sort
of
a
bonus
pay.
So
if
it
takes
a
full
year,
that's
about
six
thousand
dollars
that
will
go
to
the
five
year.
The
ten
year,
the
25
anybody
who's
sworn
officer.
B
All
right
did
you
want
to
say
something.
K
K
They
support-
and
I
hope
it
resonates
with
these
public
safety
agencies,
and
I
know
every
department
here
for
the
public
safety
agency
agencies
are
here
and
I
hope
that
employees
are
listening
to
what
you
have
brought
mayor
and
the
support
that
they
have
around
this
table
for
the
men
and
women
out
there
fighting
a
tough
fight
and
an
unprecedented
pandemic
and
unprecedented
time.
So
I
first
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that
and
and
then
I
I
did
want
to
just.
K
K
From
the
agency,
the
agency
is
the
one
who
pays
for
this
when
they
take
our
officers
that
we've
trained
the
agency
that
took
those
officers
are
responsible
for
paying
us
and
we
collect.
I
wanted
that
to
be
very
clear
we
collect
and
and
then
to
councillor
crabb
and
councillor
davis.
I
think
you've
made
some
great
points,
but
I
wanted
to
say
we'll
study
the
matter
of
people
leaving.
I
know
you
wanted
to
see.
K
Maybe
something
stronger
but
and
of
course,
there's
state
legislation
that
you've
heard
about,
but
and
and
if
it's
going
to
change,
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
state
legislation
so
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
If
we
take
officers
from
someone
else
just
like
we
collect,
we
got
to
pay.
K
K
So
I
think
you
know,
because
this
is
a
12-month
period.
K
I
wouldn't
recommend
we
go
after
state
legislation
this
time,
but
in
2023,
when
we
do
the
legislative
agenda,
I
think
we
need
to
probably
include
something
council
crab
on
the
legislative
agenda,
but
that
would
call
for
something
consistent,
statewide,
and
so
everybody
would
be
on
the
level
playing
field.
But
so
I
think
I've
responded
to
councillor
davis
and
council,
crabb
and
and
even
counselor
thomas
the
observations
that
you
made
but
want
to
be
clear
that
every
public
safety
fire
mcp
fire
ems
mcp,
all
of
them
sheriff
yeah.
Thank
you,
sir.
That
senior
moment.
K
But
they
all
will
get
that
and
and
just
to
be
clear.
You
know
we
came
to
you
when
we
were
short
with
public
works
drivers
and
the
mayor
highlighted
how
short
we
are
with
them
and-
and
he
highlighted
how
short
we
are
with
metro
metro
needs,
51
drivers
to
drive
regular
routes
every
day.
They
need
51
drivers,
they
have
27,
they
have
27.
K
and
they
need
51..
That's
why
they're
running
saturday
schedule
on
weekdays,
but
remember
with
public
works
and
with
metra
we
had
a
a
additional
pay
that
we
allow
for
them
if
they
work
their
off
days
and
and
so
forth,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
them
in
that
way
to
make
sure
that
they
are
taken
care
of,
but
that's
something
separate
from
what
you're
discussing
today.
But
that
is
just
to
say
that
we
have
not
forgotten
the
metro,
bus
drivers,
the
mechanics
and
and
the
public
work
drivers
mechanics.
K
We
are
still
working
and
will
continue
to
work
with
them,
even
though
we've
contracted
out
and
brought
in
additional
help
for
them.
But
we
have
a
labor
labor,
labor
force
challenge
and
we've
got
to
address
it,
and
I
I
commend
the
mayor
and
council
for
your
actions
to
make
sure
that
columbus
georgia
is
taken
care
of.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
J
J
J
J
You
know
the
andy
griffin
age,
but
we
all
you
know
we
all
need
to
work
together,
support
our
public
safety
call
in
and
when
you
see
something
going
on,
let
them
know,
because
that
is
what
is
going
to
help
them.
N
Mr
mayor,
I
move
adoption
of
the
resolution
authorizing
public
safety
officers,
recruitment
and
retention
initiative.
All.
B
Right,
there's
a
motion
from
councilor
thomas
second
from
councillor
woodson,
any
discussion
council
davises
to
the
motion,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye.
N
B
All
those
opposed
it
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
for
your
support.
We
will
bring
a
an
ordinance
in
january
to
ratify
what
we
have
done
by
resolution
today
and
and
ask
for
your
your
validation
and
verification.
R
That's
correct
mayor
we'll
bring
an
ordinance
back
after
working
with
the
finance
director,
as
we
usually
do
on
these
things.
It's
a
budget
amendment
so
we'll
bring
it
back
in
an
ordinance.
It'll,
be
retroactive
to
these
effective
dates
and
you
can
pass
it
on
two
readings
in
january
all
right,
councillor,
davis,
thank.
O
You
mayor,
I'm
miss
city
manager.
I
really
I'm
glad
we're
having
this
conversation
today
and
we've
been
talking
about
a
while
and
being
able
to
prioritize,
and
I
want
the
citizens
to
understand
that
you
know
this
is
not.
You
know,
it's
somewhat
embarrassing
to
say
that
you
know
we're
we're
doing
this
step
today
and
and
moving
forward
and
and
increasing
pay
for
law
enforcement,
because
it's
a
crime
problem
that
you
don't
move
forward.
All
of
a
sudden.
You
pay
out
all
this
money
and
then
crime
goes
away.
O
That's
not
how
it
works,
and
I
really
appreciate
councilor
crab
those
those
comments.
O
What
we're
doing
today
is
prioritizing
because
your
city
is
in
the
citizens
need
to
know
your
city
is
in
really
good
financial
shape
and
we've
never
had
this
opportunity
before
the
city
manager
spoke
last
week
about
the
the
position
we're
in
on
the
top
cities
and
probably
in
the
top
10
now
in
this
nation
in
the
united
states,
and
that's
a
good
position
to
be.
We've
never
had
this
quote
luxury
to
be
able
to
address
some
priorities.
O
We've
talked
about
priorities,
and
certainly
the
the
pay
plan,
study
and
increase
in
pay
and
wages
for
our
employees
has
always
been
a
priority.
We've
just
never
had
the
luxury
to
be
able
to
do
it
and
now
we're
in
that
position.
I
think
the
dust
is
cleared
and
we
can
see
a
little
bit
better
and
in
light
of
this
conversation
I
think
there's
I'm
just
gonna
the
city
manager.
You
talked
about
studying
a
little
bit
more,
maybe
some
things
we
can
do.
Currently.
O
I
still
think
there's
some
more
things
that
we
can
do
possibility.
I'm
gonna
throw
an
idea
out
that
that
maybe
it
can
be
across
an
across-the-board
measure
that
could
help
this
is
we.
We
talked
about
the
competitive
issue
and
about
retention
and
retaining
law
enforcement,
but
this
is
somewhat
more
on
the
inflationary
side
on
the
cost
of
living,
for
that
affects
everybody.
All
the
employees,
and
we
have
talked
about
the
position
that
our
retirement
fund
is
in
now
very,
very
healthy.
O
O
The
plan
seems
very
healthy
and
there
may
be
a
way
to
adjust
the
contribution
which
would,
in
turn
put
more
money.
Employees
could
take
home
money.
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
on
the
table
in
light
of
this
conversation
that
that's
something
we
can
do
across
the
board
for
all
the
employees,
and
I
don't
think
it's
far
out
there
a
long
shot
and
being
able
to
do
it.
But
I
may
be
wrong,
but
I
would
like
us
to
consider
that
and
study
that
a
little
bit.
K
You
I'm
sorry
mayor,
I
I
I
was
just
going
to
respond
and
say
certainly
we
can
have
the
finance
director
heard
what
you
said
and
I'm
sure
she
will
have
a
actual
aerial
contractor
consultant
to
respond
with
a
comment
on
that
to
you.
So
I'll.
Just
leave
that
to
her
to
get
some
response
from
actuarial
consulting.
B
All
right
and
and
before
we
go
to
the
city
attorney's
agenda,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
hr
director,
finance
director,
the
city
manager
and
deputy
city
manager
for
their
work
on
this.
Try
to
try
to
make
sure
it
worked.
We
had
to
wait
till
we
had
a
really
good
idea
of
what
the
final
year-end
numbers
were
going
to
look
like,
so
that
we
could
figure
out
the
funding
mechanism
and
make
sure
that
we
had
the
right
numbers
that
would
work.
This
is
not
where
we
want
to
be,
but
it
is
a.
B
B
I
should
have
invited
them
up,
I'm
sorry,
we
do
have
the
the
warden,
the
the
sheriff
we've
got,
our
police
chief
and
our
fire
chief.
If
you
want
to
come
up,
if
you
had
any
comments
you
wanted
to
make,
we
would
welcome
them.
L
So
as
we
utilize
this
funding,
we'll
put
it
to
good
use
and
be
able
to
work
at
bringing
in
the
best
trained
offices
bringing
bring
in
the
best
officers
candidate
and
then
train
them
up
so
they'd
be
very
strong
officers
going
forward
providing
support
throughout
our
community
thanks.
Thank
you
to
each
of
you.
Thank
you.
B
S
Good
morning,
mayor
good
morning,
city
council,
I'm
warden
herbert
walker
from
muskogee
county
prison,
and
I
just
want
to
stand
here
and
be
a
voice
for
those
that
are
not
in
the
room.
S
T
T
I
want
to
thank
you
mayor
for
your
courage
and
your
dedication
and
for
you
understanding
the
plight
that
we
are
in
right
now
that
we
are
experiencing
some
experiencing
some
challenges,
and
this
makes
us
more
competitive
when
we
go
into
the
job
market
because,
as
sheriff,
I
have
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
the
sheriff
in
cobb
county
and
fulton
county
and
threaten
them
not
to
come
into
muscogee
county,
although
that
they
still
come
into
muskogee
county,
because
they
understand
the
need
to
to
actually
look
for
good
officers
and-
and
I
think
that
this
will
help
us
to
stabilize
where
we
are
now
and
for
us
to
be
able
to
to
offer
something
to
get
better
candidates.
T
And
I
you
know,
and
and
I'm
so
excited
about
it.
As
I
mentioned
to
you
earlier
that,
after
the
after
I
found
out
the
news
yesterday,
I
wanted
to
go
by
the
jail
and
I
wanted
to
speak
with
the
staff
coming
on.
T
The
equipment
that
we
carry
is
different
than
we
had
31
years
ago,
and
so
the
direction
that
we
are
going
in
now.
I
can
appreciate
it
because
I
think
that
it
means
a
lot
to
the
deputies
now
that
are
dealing
with
the
mental
health
crisis
that
we
have
in
our
city,
the
different
types
of
elements
of
crime.
T
So
thank
you
mayor
for
your
courage,
and
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
and
I
know
that
the
men
and
women
within
the
muscular
county
sheriff's
office
that
they're
excited
about
this
and
and
I'm
just
thankful
to
work
alongside
of
you
and
and
to
understand
the
vision
that
you
have
for
our
public
safety.
Thank
you
thanks,
sir.
B
U
We
appreciate
the
courage
of
this
council
to
take
on
this
initiative
and
bring
this
forward
our
men
and
women
and
all
of
our
agencies
do
this
job
and
stay
at
this
location
here
in
columbus
because
they
love
this
city
and
we
have
good
people,
and
I
think
this
gesture
is
rewarding
of
that
and
so
on
behalf
again
on
the
men
and
women
of
columbus
fire
and
ems
myself.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
We
greatly
appreciate
it.
Thank.
Q
Yes,
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
say
thank
you.
It's
really
wonderful
to
see
all
of
public
safety
here
today.
This
morning,
I
don't
recall
when
I
saw
all
our
public
safety
together,
so
it's
very
exciting
for
me
to
see
ali
o
plus
our
mayor
here,
to
be
able
to
work
together
to
do
something
to
show
our
public
safety.
Q
It's
not
always
about
money,
we
need
we
need
to
see
and
something
that
I
learned
when
I
was
at
thesis
was
that
sometimes
you
know
we
ask
our
own
employees
to
donate
and
give
to
help
others,
but
yet
we
don't
know
what's
going
on
in
their
household
if
they
have
even
bread
on
the
table
or
butter
in
the
table.
So
I
know
I
sound
emotional
and
sentimental,
but
that's
just
me
if
you
know
me,
I
just
think
that
this
is
an
important
thing
as
we're
looking
at
their
well-being.
So.
Q
B
P
I
was
not
here
when
you
were
appointed.
My
son-in-law
works
out
to
the
muskogee
county,
prison
officer
butler,
and
you
gave
them
they.
They
are
very
optimistic.
P
They're
committed,
not
mentioned
committed
individuals
that
are
staying
term,
the
ones
that
they're
not
for
the
pay,
but
for
the
commitment
to
the
city
of
columbus
and
they
feel
good.
They
feel
very
good
because
you
came
in
you're
speaking
to
them,
you're
you're,
interacting
with
them
you're
you're,
allowing
them
to
vent.
P
It's
the
mcp
with
the
sheriff's
department
with
cpd
and
the
fire
department,
and
I'm
glad
we're
taking
this
bold
step,
the
mayor
and
council
taking
a
bold
step,
but
from
the
standpoint
of
the
mcp
with
the
dire
shortages
and
the
concern
that
the
officers
have
had
not
for
their
own
safety
but
they're
there
to
protect
the
the
other
citizens
that
are
incarcerated,
but
I'm
from
my
family
because
we
have
a
concern
every
time.
Jeff
goes
to
work
that
something
I
say,
a
prayer
that
nothing
ever
happens
because
of
the
what
could
they
do?
P
They're
short
staffed-
and
so
I
just
wanted
personally.
This
is
personal
to
thank
you
for
the
interaction
going
to
each
of
the
officers
and
finding
out
what
their
concerns
are,
because
that's
important.
Maybe
council
woodson,
talked
about
the
morale,
even
with
the
shortages
and
with
the
constraints
and
the
stress
those
officers
out
there
their
morales.
P
Well,
they
love
their
job.
It's
not
about
the
money.
It
is
about
the
commitment
to
the
city,
and
so
you
have
a
lot
of
good
offices,
and
I
wasn't
here
at
first
with
you,
but
I
just
wanted
to
verbalize
it
specifically.
Now,
since
I
know
you're
going
to
all
the
officers,
all
the
keys
and
you've
spoken
the
optimism
since
you've
done.
That
is
tremendous,
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
verbalize
that
just
from
me
from
my
heart
to
yours
to
let
you
know
that
as
a
family
member,
we
really
appreciate
what
you're
doing.
S
P
It's
we
are
fortunate
here
in
columbus
to
have
good
leadership
to
have
excellent
leadership,
starting
from
the
mayor
down
to
the
city,
manager
and
deputy
city
managers,
whatever
we're
blessed
in
this
city,
but
it
extends
also
to
both
our
all
of
our
employees,
general
service
employees,
public
safety,
employees,
it's
the
pride
in
this
city
and
the
commitment
to
their
to
the
city
and
their
jobs.
And
but
I
wanted
I
was
I
was
not
here-
and
I
just
wanted
to
verbalize
that
to
you
and
thank
you
so
much.
V
R
V
R
V
R
V
W
W
It
was
the
city
attorney
through
our
mayor
that
suggested
that
we
come
up
with
a
more
we'll,
bring
this
moratorium
to
you
all
that
way.
We
could
take
a
pause
to
actually
come
up
with
a
good
plan
of
action
to
deal
with
this.
This
issue
we've
been
researching
this,
and
actually,
I
had
been
in
contact
with
the
city
attorney
in
april
of
this
year
in
reference
to
the
need
to
actually
come
up
with
something
to
find
out.
W
They
do
have
a
potential
safety
concern
in
some
of
the
areas,
and
that
was
the
main
thing
was
to
address
the
safety
not
only
for
the
patrons,
but
for
the
owners
and
the
workers,
because
it's
a
lot
of
money
that
goes
in
these
stores
and
unfortunately,
as
we
saw
someone
that's
dear
to
the
community,
lost
their
life
last
monday,
and
we
really
have
to
come
up
with
something.
W
So
this
was
really
the
start
of
that
action
and,
as
the
city
attorney
had
suggested,
the
moratorium
and
that's
the
reason
why
we
put
this
here.
However,
after
speaking
with
the
city
attorney,
we
did
some
research
and
in
other
counties
they
do
have
an
ordinance.
I
learned
that
we
don't
have
an
ordinance
that
governs
these
coin,
operated
amusement
machines
at
all
in
our
city
charter.
W
However,
after
doing
that,
research
and
looking
what
other
counties
have
done,
what
I'm
presenting
is
that
the
city
attorney
comes
with
a
list
of
items
and
actually
introduce
an
actual
ordinance
that
governs
these
coin
operator.
Amusement
machines
and
that's
something
for
us
to
review
as
council,
and
I
think
that
was
the
main
thing
you
know.
The
the
main
issue
is
the
the
machines
that
that
are,
you
know
having
some
illegal
transactions.
W
It
was
not
the
intent
of
the
store
that
is
saying.
So
if
you
regulate
the
coin,
operated
amusement
machines,
you
regulate
the
issue.
We
were
never
trying
to
punish.
You
know
the
the
good
business
owners
that
we
have
in
this
community,
but
it
is
to
address
the
illegal
transactions
that
are
going
on
in
our
community.
W
So,
after
speaking
with
the
mayor
and
with
the
city
attorney,
you
know
I
felt
like
it
was
best
for
us
to
address
the
actual
issue
and
not
just
them,
but
the
city
with
some
of
my
other
counselors
and
also
I
spoke
to
some
of
the
the
business
owners
of
those
food
marts
and
gas
stations
last
week,
and
they
agreed
that
it
is
some
bad
apples.
W
If
newton
county
has
that
issue,
if
other
places
in
atlanta,
savannah
and
all
over
georgia
have
that
issue.
We
have
that
issue
here
in
columbus,
too,
and
after
talking
to
councillor
davis,
I
know
that
he
had
been
working
on
it
years
ago
and
we
actually
had
an
arrest
here
in
columbus.
Due
to
that
issue.
W
This
is
a
multi-million
dollar
industry
and
people
are
doing
illegal
things,
and
I
think
that
is
best
for
us
to
address
the
elect.
The
illegal
transactions
that's
going
on,
so
the
city
attorney
will
come
up
with
an
actual
ordinance
that
governs
that
the
coin
operated
amusement
machines
and
we
will
bring
it
up
and
we
want
to
make
sure
the
language
is
pleasing
to
everybody.
My
word
smith,
over
there
counselor
tom
is.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that
it
is
actually
a
good
legislation
for
our
city.
Q
Thank
you.
We
are
pretend
I
just
want
to
echo
a
couple
of
counselors
on
tucker
sentimental.
I
I
was
out
of
town
and
I
came
back
and
it
was
brought
to
my
intention
that
we
were
going
to
delay
this
as
disappointed
as
she
is.
I
am
too
because
you
actually
have
to
go
to
these
businesses
to
really
see
what
we're
talking
about
hearing
it.
Q
I
understand
the
reason
for
the
delay
is
because
some
business
that
are
buying
businesses
that
already
exists
feel
that
we're
punishing
them
some
businesses,
that
are
honest,
feel
that
we're
punishing
them
and
we
want
to
show
that
that's
not
true,
but
at
the
same
time
we
got
a
problem
and
we
have
to
fix
it.
It's
just
like
all
the
strict
joints.
I
remember
when
I
first
came
here
and
we
started
closing
the
strip
joints,
people
used
to
say:
oh,
she
has
a
bible,
she
carries
under
the
bible.
Q
No,
you
have
to
understand
that
some
people
take
their
whole
livelihoods
and
go
there
and
don't
provide
diapers
and
food
for
their
babies.
You
have
to
understand
that
with
the
way
situation
is
now,
crime
does
exist.
When
we
brought
up,
you
know
having
the
resort,
the
casino
everybody
was
against
it
because
they
felt
people
will
get
addicted
or
this
and
that
they
didn't
look
at
the
bigger
issue
of
providing
jobs
and
opportunities
for
other
people.
They
didn't
look
at
the
issue
that
people
were
taking
buses
and
leaving.
Q
Well
guess
what
they're
not
taking
buses
and
traveling
anymore
they're
going
to
their
neighborhood
convenience
store
and
gambling.
So
gambling
does
exist
in
columbus,
georgia
illegally,
and
we
need
to
put
an
example
until
this
can
be
done,
and
I
would
challenge
our
city
attorney
to
have
something
to
us,
at
least
by
the
middle
of
january.
Q
R
Q
My
colleague
to
my
colleagues
pop
and
and
tucker,
I
understand
your
frustration
because
I
have
it
too,
but
we
have
to
be
conscious
of
our
citizens
and
we
have
to
do
the
right
thing,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
don't
quit
the
fight.
The
fight
continues
until
we
can
protect
our
citizens
that
need
to
be
protected
and
in
saying
that
I'll
make
the
motion
with
a
heartbreak
to
delay
it
until
further
notice.
V
Q
V
V
Yeah
so
all
in
favor
say
aye.
M
V
Oh
all,
right,
I'm
sorry.
I
got
two
ahead
of
you
so.
M
J
Okay,
my
my
question
is:
are
you
delaying
this
or
are
we?
Are
we
killing
this
one?
That's
asking
for
a
moratorium
and
we're
going
to
create
a
new
ordinance.
That's
going
to
focus
more
on
the
coin-operated,
amusement
machines.
Okay,.
V
J
J
But
my
understanding
from
what
councilors,
tucker
and
woodson
said
that
they
don't
want
a
moratorium
on
the
businesses
that
they
want
to
focus
more
on.
The
problem
at
hand,
which
is
the
coin,
operated,
amusement
machines.
And
so
it
seems
that
it
would
be
better
for
us
to
just
kill
this
one
and
come
up
with
a
new
one,
that
you
know
to
kill
the
one
asking
for
a
moratorium
and
then
bringing
in
a
new
one
that
focuses
on
the
coin-operated
machines.
V
V
R
Okay,
that
item
is
defeated
and
again
we
will
look
at
bringing
back
a
draft
ordinance.
I
know
some
jurisdictions
have
looked
at
limiting
the
number
of
machines
that
can
go
into
a
particular
business
and
the
police
chief
is
working
as
hard
as
he
can
on
the
enforcement
piece,
and
I
know
the
mayor
will
be
in
discussions
with
the
police
chief
about
illegal
machines,
but
we'll
bring
something
back
in
january.
V
G
Thank
you
mayor,
pretend
I'll
be
brief.
I
just
wanted
to
show
my
support
to
councillors,
tucker
barnes
and
woodson.
I
I
concur
with
the
concern
about
the
issue
and
I'm
glad
we're
going
to
look
at
it
and
come
back
with
a
draft
ordinance,
because
I
read
the
ordinance
from
macon
and
it
looks
like
something
that
we
need
to
consider
because
we
have
a
problem
and
we've
got
to
figure
out
how
to
address
it.
Thank
you.
P
That's
totally
well,
I
was
going
to
make
the
comment
that
that
sean
may
made,
because
we
don't
need
to
we.
Why
do
we
need
to
hold
it
or
more
time
we.
P
Come
back
and
do
it
by
way
of
an
ordinance,
so
I
just
wanted
to
clear
up
my
confusion
and
make
sure,
but
she
did
that
yeah
and
then
you
know.
The
other
comment
I
want
to
make
is
that,
prior
to
us
discussing,
we
had
a
group
of
individuals
who
came
and
were
actually
verbalizing
the
problem
they
were
having
on
far
road.
P
But
all
of
us
know
I
know,
there's
not
a
council
district.
That
is
not
having
the
same
problem
and
my
concern
is
when
people
feel
unsafe
about
going
somewhere,
especially
senior
citizens
when
who
have
to
who
don't
have
transportation,
the
only
places
that
they
have
to
go
to
is
there
to
pick
up
incidentals
when
they
can
go
in
there
and
they
see
five
or
six
seven
people
standing
around
it
makes
them
feel
uneasy.
And
then,
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
the
outside
of
the
places
are
not
are
very
unkempt.
P
We
should
not
have
to
we
represent,
and
all
of
us
see
it.
There's
not
one
of
us
here
who
cannot
see
and
realize
that
it
looks
somewhat
ominous
to
go
and
we
have
to
be
sensitive
to
the
concerns
of
the
citizens,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
we're.
So
this
is
over
too,
and
we
just
took
a
a
hiccup
by
not
going
through
the
city
attorney
and
looking
at
other
areas,
and-
and
I
think
that
we're
moving
and
definitely
moving
in
the
right
direction.
For
this
and
other
things
that
came
up.
P
You
know
we
have
a
you,
don't
have
to
have
all
kinds
of
degrees
on
the
wall
we
have
so
many
people
just
have
common
sense
trumps
to
me
anyway,
because
my
wife
is,
I
might
have
all
the
degrees
and
stuff,
but
I'm
so
thankful
for
my
wife,
because
she
has
that
good
rural,
mississippi,
common
sense
that
trumps
a
lot
of
the
things
that
all
the
degrees
that
I
have
on
the
wall.
P
And
someone
said
you
know
there
was
a
disagreement
about
the
terminology
of
it
and
it
made
me
think
of
that
saying:
a
rose
by
any
other
name,
still
scrolls
as
sweet
smells
so,
regardless
of
where
you
want
to
name
it.
This
is,
this
is
a
grocery
store.
This
might
be
this
or
that
it
is
a
situation
that
has
evolved
here
in
in
columbus,
georgia
that
we
need
to
deal
with
and
put
constraints
on
and
put
parameters
around
to
make
the
citizens
feel
safe.
O
I
just
you
know.
I
think
this
is
being
handled
the
right
way.
Okay,
I
think
everybody's
sensitive
to
the
issues,
and
I
I
stated
that
last
week
I
I
think
it's
now
being
handled
the
right
way
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
what
the
staff
can
bring
back
as
a
matter
as
a
matter
of
recommendations.
But
let
me
just
state
this
just
for
the
information
for
some
council
members
that
are
unaware
of
how
these
businesses
operate.
O
O
A
number
of
machines
that
can
be
had
or
held
in
these
stores-
and
you
know
that
that's
important
to
understand
here
so
I
I
I
want
everybody
to
understand
the
limitations
that
we're
working
with,
but
at
the
same
time
councilor
woodson.
If
you
really
want
to
make
a
difference,
I
think
this
is
something
that
you
might
want
to
suggest
putting
on
the
legislative
agenda
list
and
ask
the
state
representative
to
look
into
because
it
truly
is
a
state
matter
and
it's
truly
handled
through
the
division
of
the
state
lottery
department.
O
V
Thank
you,
sir
councillor
tucker.
W
Thank
you,
councillor
davis.
I
actually
was
going
to
ask
for
us
to
add
that
to
the
2023
legislation
agenda
and
it
is
nine,
it's
not
it's.
It's
nine
machines.
You
want
to
do
it
in
twenty
two,
twenty
twenty
two.
Y
W
Well,
I'm
not,
since
we
already
submitted
our
agenda,
I
didn't
know
if
we
could
add
it
to
this
year's
agenda.
Can
we.
R
W
Can
we
make
that
a
add-on.
R
I
would
go
on
and
do
a
verbal
resolution
for
the
state
to
study
the
coin,
operated,
amusement
machines
and
further
limits
placed
on
the
machines
and
further
measures
that
will
aid
law
enforcement
in
each
county.
R
R
M
R
V
R
All
right
now,
we've
got
some
zoning
public
hearings
mayor.
The
first
one
up
is
for
property
at
40
20
j
street,
going
from
neighborhood
commercial
to
general
commercial
recommended
for
approval
is
the
petitioner
here
today.
I
believe
they
were
all
right
come
on
up
sir,
and
give
them
your
name
and
address.
Since
we
didn't
see
you
last
week.
V
Okay,
is
there
what
what's
the
plan
for
the
property.
V
R
R
Z
We're
passing
three
zones
from
neighborhood
commercial,
the
general
commercial
bloomers
has
is
consolidating
their
location
to
their
midtown
location,
and
we
have
a
purchaser
for
the
making
road
location
and
their
use
requires
general
commercial.
V
R
R
AA
We're
also
asking
for
a
special
exception
to
wreck
the
cell
tower
and
as
the
city
council
city
attorney
said,
it's
previous
has
been
approved
by
the
pac
and
it's
even
been
approved
by
your
own
planning
department.
AA
But
before
I
bring
up
mr
corey,
I
want
to
tell
you
briefly
why
I'm
in
favor
of
it,
because
it's
actually
which
service
my
house
and
my
neighborhood,
and
I
do
understand
that
there's
been
some
opposition
to
this
tower
and
you'll
be
hearing
from
them.
But
I
live
on
the
corner
of
averitt
drive
and
hilton
avenue,
and
it
would
be
served
by
this
tower,
and
my
experience
is
that
if
my
internet
is
out
the
my
wi-fi
is
out
my
coverage
on
my
cell
phone
is
one
bar.
AA
It's
abysmal.
It
means
I
can
barely
download
stuff
barely
be
able
to
use
my
phone,
which
is
critical
to
me
and
during
the
pandemic.
Like
a
lot
of
you
and
a
lot
of
people
united
states,
I
worked
from
home
and
I
continued
to
do
that
periodically
and
my
experience
is
like
everyone
else
in
my
neighborhood,
and
that
is
that
more
and
more
our
lives
are
revolving
around
the
internet
and
especially
cellular
service,
and
it's
critical
that
we
have
a
real
strong
network
signal,
not
just
for
information
and
work
and
entertainment,
but
also
for
safety.
AA
My
alarm
system
works
off
of
the
cellular
network
and
in
fact,
just
the
other
day,
y'all
recall
we
had
a
storm
passed
on
saturday.
We
had
no
power,
and
that
meant
that
I
was
exposed
because
we
basically
had
no
cell
coverage,
because
I'm
in
that
gap
of
coverage
that
this
tower
is
there
to
take
care
of.
AA
This
area
serves
8,
000
people
and
I'm
one
of
those
8
000
people
who
are
for
it
and
I'm
not
telling
anything.
You
don't
know
as
city
council,
but
you
often
don't
hear
from
people
who
are
for
it,
people
who
want
it
because
they
trust
that
you're
going
to
look
out
for
their
best
interest,
because
it
does
take
courage
to
go
against
a
bunch.
You
know
voices
coming
up
in
person
saying
that
they're
against
it,
but
I
remind
you
that
those
same
people
are
coming
up
and
objecting.
AA
Probably
the
same
people
gonna,
who
would
have
objected
to
telephone
lines
going
up
in
a
neighborhood
running
across
the
street,
probably
would
object
to
a
whole
bunch
of
other
things
going
on,
because
that's
a
sign
of
progress,
it's
always
uncomfortable,
but
this
is
something
that
we
dramatically
need.
So
without
further
ado,
I
want
to
introduce
peter
corey,
who
I
just
explained
as
the
ceo
of
municipal
communications
and
I'll.
Let
him.
AB
Good
morning,
mayor
pro
tem
members.
H
AB
Council,
I'm
peter
corey,
I'm
ceo
of
municipal
communications,
we're
an
atlanta-based
company.
We
specialize
in
projects
just
like
this
working
in
suburban
urban
areas,
I'm
joined
by
john
morton
and
harris
cory
from
my
staff,
and
also
by
anthony
purnell
from
t-mobile
who's.
A
radio
frequency
engineer.
AB
We're
really
here
to
answer
questions
that
y'all
may
have
you
know
this
people
hear
cell
tower
and
you
know
well,
we
don't
want
that.
Well,
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
t-mobile
a
t,
verizon
dish.
These
people
will
all
come
in
and
invest
a
million
dollars
at
this
site
and
they
don't
do
it
for
the
fun
of
it.
They
do
it
because
they
need
to
serve
their
customers.
AB
They've
spent
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
on
licenses
to
serve
muskogee
county
and
the
city
of
columbus,
and
to
do
that
effectively
they
need
your
assistance.
Y'all
have
allowed
us
to
build
three
towers
in
columbus
over
the
past
five
years.
We
appreciate
that.
I
think
we've
you
know
lived
up
to
our
end
of
the
bargain.
AB
They've
all
been,
you
know
well
well
done
projects.
This
project
in
particular
would
be
a
step
above
anything
else.
We've
done
here,
we
have
a
design
that
we
came
up
with
some
five
years
ago,
where,
unlike
some
of
the
monopine
towers,
you've
seen
where
they
have
a
few
branches
on
them,
and
you
say:
oh,
I
guess
that's
supposed
to
be
a
tree
tower.
These
are
actual
towers
that
I
take
pride
in
the
fact
that
I
helped
design
the
branches
start
at
16
feet
at
the
base
and
go
up.
AB
AB
There's
it's
very
typical
to
have
opposition
to
our
projects.
We
do
these
in
very
sensitive
areas.
Like
new
england,
you
know
the
places
in
virginia
where
it
might
be
a
battlefield,
something
like
that
and
once
the
fray
is
over
and
the
tower's
up
people
go.
Oh
okay!
Well
that
wasn't
so
bad!
We've
got
pictures
of
some
of
the
towers.
We've
done
one
in
particular
the
atlanta
country
club,
where
the
typical
pr
home
prices
are
anywhere
from
a
million
to
ten
million
dollars.
AB
That
is
one
of
our
towers
right
there,
it's
the
same
size
as
the
the
same
height
everything
we're
talking
about
building
at
this
parking
lot
at
the
shrine
club,
and,
as
I
said
once,
you
know,
once
the
the
anxiety
goes
away
and
the
tower's
up
people
just
are
excited
about
the
service.
AB
AB
AB
As
I
said,
we've
done
these
in
27
states
and
it's
rarely.
If
ever
do
we
find
a
better
situation
than
this
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know,
there's
a
you
know:
it's
a
convenience
factor.
It's
the
fact
that
you
know
you
want
your
phone
to
work.
I
mean
this
is
part
of
our
lives
right.
This
is
just
something
you
have
to
have
from
a
public
safety
standpoint
when
I
walk
my
dogs.
AB
Not
only
do
you
need
to
be
able
to
contact
a
911
operator,
they
need
to
know
where
you
are
and
with
your
current
coverage
and
capacity,
it's
very
possible
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
pinpoint
where
you
are.
If
you
called
in
an
emergency,
so
you
may
make
that
call,
you
may
get
the
call
off,
but
they
won't
be
able
to
find
you.
In
fact,
we
built
a
tower
last
december
at
a
church
in
akford
georgia,
wildwood
baptist
church,
and
we
had
to
go
through
a
process
on
that
a
legal
process.
AB
Well,
while
that
process
was
working
through
the
court
at
a
choir
practice,
one
of
the
gentlemen
had
a
stroke.
They
called
9-1-1
nothing.
Nothing
happened,
help's
on
the
way.
Well,
they
sent
that
ambulance
to
another
county,
because
the
coverage
was
so
poor
that
they
could
not
pinpoint
where
they
were
so
they
had
to
go
flag.
AB
The
ambulance
down
the
man
lived
great,
but
during
that
period,
who
knows
how
many
9-1-1
calls
weren't
adequately
covered?
That's
just
one.
I
know
of
in
your
in
this
one
area.
As
mr
porter
chef
points
out,
there
are
8
000
residents
t-mobile.
AB
AB
N
AC
N
The
pictures
that
they
showed
of
the
trees
is
this
something
that
the
pack
or
the
planning
department
has
required
as
additional
part
of
this.
Or
is
this
just
something
that
the
company.
AC
Has
for
existing
towers
now
that
we've
had
in
the
past?
Yes,
we've
gone
through
that
process,
where
we
have
required
them
or
encouraged
them
to
camouflage
them
as
best
they
possibly
could
as
he
as
the
gentleman
stated,
the
ones
we
have
with
trees
and
the
one
I'm
thinking
about
is
off
the
side
of
the
south.
Lumpkin
excuse
me
off
the
north
lumpkin,
it's
it's
it's
it's
a
tree
in
name
only
I
mean
it's
got
tall,
it's
got
a
tall
structure
and
it's
got
branches
at
the
very
at
the
very
top.
AC
R
AC
Then,
in
your
mississippi
train
you're
right,
it's
probably
more
appropriate
to
address
it
in
a
condition
that
type
under
the
special
exception,
because
what
you're
asking
deal
right
right
now
with
is
just
the
zoning
classification
itself.
Does
the
zoning
match
or
meet
the
requirements
of
the
area
more
than
anything
else?
That's
that's
what
I
to
me
what
you're
charged
with
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
zoning?
AC
Well,
the
understanding
that
the
rezoning
is
coming
because
they
have
to
have
that
in
order
to
have
the
cell
tower
for
a
special
exception.
But
that's
that's
a
to
me.
That's
a
separate
issue
right
now,
because
the
real
issue
is
land
use
wise.
Does
this
meet
what
we're
looking
for
in
the
udo
under
zoning?
AC
AC
In
this
general
area,
in
the
general
area
of
that,
I
only
only
refresh
my
memory
this
morning
by
looking
at
the
application
in
the
in
their
in
their
packet.
They
provide
the
distance
requirements
in
terms
of
where
they're
from
existing
towers
that
is
shown
in
in
their
application.
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
pull
our
map
out
again.
Look
at
it
to.
J
N
I'm
like
a
lot
of
the
other
counselors,
I'm
sure
around
the
table.
I've
received
numerous
phone
calls
and
emails
and
so
forth
about
this
issue.
I
have
received
three
that
say:
I'm
part
the.
M
N
N
AB
Ma'am,
so
it's
really
interesting
that
you
know
we're
surrounded
by
radio
waves,
what
the
cell
equipment
does
and
again
anthony's
an
expert
in
this
area
is
it
takes
a
naturally
occurring
radio
frequency
and
sends
a
signal
on
it
and
by
the
way
it
uses
the
same
household
current
that
these
tvs
do
it's
not
some.
AB
N
And
one
other
question
that
I
have
I'm
sure
you
are
aware
that
about
two
years
ago,
a
little,
maybe
a
little
more
than
that
we
voted
not
to
allow
this
change
in
the
zoning.
Yes
and
my
question
to
you
is
what
has
changed
in
that
three
years.
That
makes
me
it
makes
it
necessary,
and
it
makes
me
want
to
change
my
vote
well.
AB
In
in
it
really
comes
down
to
funding
it,
it
costs
so
much
funding.
It
costs
so
much
money
for
us
to
build
the
tower
in.
In
one
regard,
and
and
again
these
towers
with
a
few
branches
on
them.
We
spend
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
than
one
of
those
towers,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
have
to
live
with
myself
right.
I
don't
want
to
put
up
something
ugly
and
save
a
few
bucks
or
lots
of
money.
AB
So
the
other
thing
is
the
carriers
have
to
invest
a
million
dollars
each
in
the
site,
and
so
it's
not
uncommon
when
they
say
they
we're
constantly
giving
them
updates.
Here's
here's
where
we're
going
and
as
soon
as
we
got
a
thumbs
down
vote
from
y'all,
they
moved
the
money.
So
they
said,
don't
worry
about
it.
AB
That's
transpired,
as
you
can
see
just
month
to
month,
the
drop
calls
are
increasing
steadily,
and
on
top
of
that,
there
are
5400
911
calls
on
t-mobile's
network
alone
each
year
here.
So
the
area
is
getting
more
dense,
the
more
more
usage
the
congestion
issue
as
anthony
can
describe
it
to
you
is
getting
worse
and
so
they're
behind
the
curve,
but
they
only
have
so
much
money
and
in
the
interim
they
they
acquired
sprint
and
did
some.
AB
You
know
some
big
things
to
kind
of
you
know
in
a
macro
sense,
you
know
make
their
national
network
as
good
as
they
could
make
it,
but
they
are
always
trying
to.
You
know,
fill
in
these
critical
gaps
like
they
are
here
and
again
it's
a
million
dollars.
They
don't
want
to
spend,
but
they
feel
compelled
to
spend
it
and
each
carrier
will
follow
them
and
in
fact
this
was
originally
an
att
project
and
att
bought
directv
and
they
spent
their
money
other
places.
J
J
I
just
wanted
to
answer
counselor
thomas's
question
of
where
the
cell
towers
are.
There
is
a
cell
tower
on
the
csu
campus
near
the
intersection
of
warm
springs
and
east,
lindsay
kind
of
back
behind
that
liquor,
store
and
butcher
shop,
and
then
there
is
also
another
cell
tower
that
this
company
installed
on
the
corner
of
college
and
university,
and
I
was
not
on
council
when
that
one
was
approved,
but
I
I
have
heard
that
they
were
going
to
maintain
that
corner
landscaping
and
it
has
not
been
maintained.
J
I've
asked
a
mayor,
poetic
chef
in
the
past
if
he
would
contact
this
company
to
go
out
and
take
care
of
it
and
they'll
do
something.
But
if
you
guys
drive
by
that
intersection,
you
tell
me
if
that's
the
way
you
would
want
it.
AB
I
AB
Ma'am
yeah
and
you
know
it's
again:
I
sold
the
tower
because
incremental
you
know
on
a
regular
basis.
We
have
to
do
that
because
I'm
not
a
public
company,
and
you
know
they
maintain
that
quarterly,
which
is
typical,
if
not
more
than
typical,
but
it
but
again,
as
I've
always
said
I'll,
be
happy
to
you
know,
get
in
contact
with
them
and
we
have
been
in
contact
with
them
about
you
about
your
issue
with
that.
AB
What
the
one
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that
most
towers
built
today
still
have
like
lte
equipment
put
put
on
them,
which
you
know
helps
with
voice
and
data
tremendously.
This
tower
from
from
day,
one
will
have
5g
equipment,
the
difference
between
5g
equipment
and
everything
else
is
number
one.
Your
your
device
is
going
to
be
work
much
better.
AB
You
can
have
much
more
robust
service
to
each
device,
but,
more
importantly,
you'll
be
able
to
have
a
box
in
your
house
that
controls
all
of
your
internet
tvs
everything
wirelessly
they'll,
do
it
at
a
faster
speed
and
for
less
money
than
a
cable
company.
So
it'll
bring
a
new
piece
of
competition
to
the
neighborhood
and
they
will
be
able
to
get
better
entertainment
information
services
at
a
more
competitive
price,
perhaps
as
low
as
half
of
what
they're
currently
paying.
AB
G
AB
AB
We
have
anthony
pernell
here.
If
anybody
has
any
technical
questions,
he's
he's
an
architect
for
this
network.
AE
And
address
my
name
is
anthony.
Parnell
address
is
955
woodland,
ron,
smyrna,
georgia,
three
zero,
zero,
eight,
two!
So
yeah
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
as
the
one
reason
why
we
want.
This
tower
is
because,
as
you
mentioned,
there's
a
tower
on
csu's
campus,
so
that
tower
is
getting
congested
or
it's
getting
overloaded.
AE
J
Can
you
put
five
the
5g
technology
on
the
already
existing
towers,
like
the
one
at
csu
or
the
one
on
the
corner
of
college
and
university
instead
of
building
another
tower.
R
Okay,
okay!
Thank
you,
sir.
That's
all
for
now!
If
the
neighbors
want
to
come
up,
raise
your
hand
come
on
up
give
your
name
and
address
please.
If
y'all
have
a
spokesperson,
that's
fine
too!
If.
V
AF
My
name
is
catherine
mckamey
and
I
live
at
2931
marianne
drive.
We
do
have
a
spokesperson,
but
I
wanted
to
just
sort
of
make
a
response
to
some
of
the
comments
that
I
heard
I'd
like
you
to
know
that
I
want
better
self-service.
I
do.
AF
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
our
devices
and
be
able
to
call
9-1-1
and
and
all
of
those
things,
but
with
respect
to
mr
porter
chess
comment
about
him
being
in
the
neighborhood
and
living
at
the
corner
of
everton
hilton,
he
doesn't
see
that
outside
of
his
bedroom
window,
all
of
us
that
are
in
the
neighborhood
around
that
area,
we
pass
by
the
shrine
club
all
the
time
if
you're
going
to
put
up
a
tower
in
that
location.
Why
not
one
street
over
which
is
already
zoned
commercially,
because
I
do
like
I
said.
AF
I
do
believe
that
we
need
to
have
that
type
of
service,
but
I
don't
care
how
much
camouflage
you
put
on
it.
It's
it's
still.
It's
detrimental
to
future
property
owners.
I
mean
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff-
and
I
know
that
my
neighbors
have
other
things
to
say
about
it.
AF
But
I
just
want
to
put
out
that
out
there,
because
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
cell
phone
service,
and
I
know
we
need
a
tower
to
have
it,
but
one
street
over
is
already
commercial,
so
it
just
doesn't
seem
to
me
to
make
any
kind
of
sense
to
to
do
it
here.
Thank
you.
V
AG
AH
AG
So
I
live.
I
live
across
the
street
from
richard's
middle
school
and
less
than
half
a
mile
from
the
shrine
club
and
I'm
a
tennis,
coach
and
yoga
instructor
in
town
today,
I'd
like
to
express
my
opposition
to
municipal
communications
proposal
to
rezone
3202
edgewood
road
from
residential
multifamily
to
r0
for
the
purposes
of
constructing
their
undisguiseable
150-foot
cell
phone
tower,
which
would
be
close
to
100
feet
above
the
existing
tree
line.
AG
Such
a
tower
is
not
compatible
with
the
residential
nature
of
our
area,
as
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
houses
surround
the
proposed
site.
If
such
a
tower
were
erected,
the
aesthetics
property
values
and
general
desirability
of
hilton
and
club
heights
mojino
woods
and
surrounding
neighborhoods
would
be
adversely
affected.
AG
Indeed,
as
real
estate
broker
tina
canara
said
in
a
new
york
times
article
on
this
subject,
you
can
see
a
buyer's
dismay
over
the
site
of
a
cell
tower
near
a
home
just
by
their
expression,
even
if
they
don't
say
anything
and
in
a
2006
article
titled,
the
impact
of
cell
phone
towers
on
house
prices
and
residential
neighborhoods
published
in
the
appraisal
journal,
which
is
edited
by
the
appraisal
institute.
One
of
the
largest
professional
organizations
for
appraisers
in
the
world.
AG
The
authors
wrote
quote
even
buyers
who
believe
that
there
are
no
adverse
health
effects
from
cell
phone
base
stations,
knowing
that
other
potential
buyers
might
think
the
reverse
will
probably
seek
a
price
discount
for
a
property
located
near
a
cell
phone
base.
Station
end
quote
certainly
a
look
at
the
scientific
debate
over
health
risks
of
radio
frequency
radiation,
particularly
24
7
exposures
by
nearby
base
towers,
suggest
that
this
trend
of
seeking
price
discounts
over
properties
near
towers
will
only
intensify
in
the
future.
AG
AG
The
ntp
scientists
were
able
to
show
clear
evidence
of
tumor
growth
due
to
the
exposure,
so
it
is
simply
not
appropriate
to
compare
erecting
a
tower
to
hanging
flat
screen
tvs,
as
the
applicant
tried
to
claim
today,
dr
ronald
melnick,
a
retired
senior
toxicologist
at
the
national
institutes
of
health
summarized.
The

by
saying

the
assumption
that
non-ionizing
radiation
cannot
cause
cancer

other
adverse
health
effects
other
than
by

heating

wrong.

communications
managed
to
sign
with
the
shrine
club
back
in
2014
under
potentially
suspect
conditions,
and
that
contract
is
under
dispute,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
about
that,
larry
wiznet
is
here
from
the
shrine
club.
I
can
talk
about
that
if
you
wish
to
hear
so,
as
you
consider
this
rezoning
ask
myself,
would
I
want
a
150
foot
cell
phone
tower
in
my
backyard
or
in
the
backyard
of
my
loved
ones?
AG
If
the
answer
is
no
deny
the
applicant's
request
for
rezoning
as
city
council
did
several
years
ago,
otherwise
you
set
a
precedent
that
hurts
homeowners
throughout
columbus
and
also
just
speaking
from
a
lot
of
us
in
the
neighborhood.
We
would
just
really
love
for
the
that
area
of
the
shrine
club
to
continue
to
be
a
community
center,
and
if
the
shriners
ever
decided
to
leave
in
the
future,
we
prefer
that
to
be
you
know,
residential,
a
residential
area,
some
kind
of
condos
or
houses
that
are
built
so
all
the
best.
AI
AI
We
loved
that
it
had
a
very
community
feel
with
lovely
yards
set
back
off
the
road
with
children
walking
in
the
neighborhoods
and
with
sidewalks
that
you
know
actually
encouraged
an
active
lifestyle
that
we
very
much
support
when
you
buy
a
home
there's
a
certain
expectation
when
you
buy
into
a
zone,
you
know
earlier,
you
were
speaking
about
a
commitment
to
the
city
of
columbus
and
I
fully
support
that.
I
work
at
fort
benning,
I'm
committed
to
this
area,
but
that
commitment
goes
both
ways.
AI
So
when
you
buy
into
a
neighborhood,
you
have
a
level
of
expectation
about
what
that
zoning
actually
is
and
so
right
now.
I
would
like
to
ask
for
my
neighbors
who
had
that
similar
expectation
and
feel
like
some
of
this
proposal
that
has
been
ongoing
several
times
now
belies
their
trust
and
their
commitment
to
the
neighborhood.
If
I
could
get
the
neighbors
to
stand
up.
AI
So
I
don't-
I
don't
want
to
you
know
insult
anyone,
but
just
as
a
reminder
again,
I
work
at
fort
benning.
So
I
consistently
read
regulations,
you
know
we're
a
very
regulatory
organization,
and
so
I
have
to
remind
myself
sometimes
what
the
standards
are.
So
I
I'd
like
to
read
what
the
zoning
is
for
a
residential
multi-family
one.
AI
It's
used
primarily
to
provide
a
high
density
residential
zoning
district
that
allows
a
variety
of
dwelling
types
and
maintains
an
overall
residential
character.
I
say
that
a
little
louder
by
allowing
a
limited
number
of
commercial
uses
such
as
assisted
or
personal
care
facilities
and
bed
and
breakfast
prohibiting
other
commercial
uses.
AI
So
if
you
could
put
on
the
overhead
at
number
one
just
to
get
you
give
you
a
flavor
of
what
that
is,
can
you
turn
that
landscape?
So
we
can
see
that
and
back
out.
Maybe
this
clearly
is
residential
lots
and
lots
of
houses
right
there
at
the
intersection
of
edgewood.
You
can
see
the
schools,
the
neighborhood
schools,
we
love
to
see
the
kids
walking
to
school,
to
richards,
to
club
view
and
to
hardaway
that
is
north
of
there,
but
clearly
the
neighborhood
character
that
could
potentially
be
eroded.
If
this
is
re-zoned
becomes.
AI
This
neighborhood
feel
that
it
is
safe
with
children
walking
to
schools.
Some
of
that
character,
for
me,
is
the
trick-or-treaters
there's
throngs
of
trick-or-treaters
at
halloween.
There
are
neighbors
who
were
talking
about
safety
neighbors
over
watching
other
neighbors
in
a
residential
to
ensure
their
safety
there's
also
every
year
our
christmas
luminaries
that
line
the
the
streets.
This
is
a
neighborhood
character
that
once
zoned
a
rezoned
residential
office
opens
the
door
four
other
commercial
entities
to
erode
that
so
I'm
I'm
speaking,
also
kind
of
in
collaboration
and
authorization
from
our
homeowners
association
head.
AI
AI
All
of
this
erodes
our
neighborhood
that
I
really
think
we've
got
a
great
neighborhood
going
on,
so
if
you
could
also
show
the
the
last
one
at
number
three
again,
I
just
want
to
speak
to
the
you
know:
the
neighbors
we've
we've
collected
some
information,
and
they
a
lot
of
folks
wanted
to
be
here,
couldn't
be
here,
some
for
various
reasons,
health
concerns
or
they
have
to
work.
AI
But
when
we
talk
about
this,
this
neighborhood
that
all
of
these
x's
represent
on
on
both
of
these
140
people,
consistent
consisting
of
about
75
neighborhoods,
who
have
signed
our
petition
opposing
wholeheartedly.
AI
This
rezoning,
you
know
we're
continuing
to
collect
this
information,
collect
some
of
this
input
and
signatures,
and
so
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
But
clearly,
if
there
is
a
hub
and
spoke
proposal
from
the
applicant,
if
you
could
show
the
third,
the
last.
AI
That
is
an
open
area,
already
zoned
commercial,
that
you
can
clearly
see
access
to
the
highway.
It's
already
zoned
commercial
behind
cross
country
plaza,
and
all
of
that
that
would
not
be
quite
the
severe
encumbrance
to
our
neighborhood,
encumbering
our
views
of
real
trees,
real
pines,
real
oaks.
That
truly
in
our
area
are
not.
AI
You
know,
150
feet,
so
I
urge
you
again
take
a
look
at
cell
cell
mapper
that
can
give
you
an
idea
of
what
the
coverage
is
again.
We
have
t-mobile
have
not
had
I,
I
can't
think
of
the
last
time
I
had
a
drop
call,
so
I
urge
you
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time,
but
I
urge
you
to
vote
no
for
the
rezoning
proposal.
Thank.

But
again,
that
tower
is
going
to
be
so
high
above
anything
else
and,
like
my
neighbors,
I
don't
understand
why
they
elected
years
ago
to
sign
a
contract
to
put
a
cell
tower
in
a
residential
area
when
there
was
commercial
areas
around
there.
That
would
not
have
required
to
put
a
cell
tower
in
a
residential
area.

Hello,
I'm
mike
I'm
mike
taylor.
I
live
at
cromwell
drive,
my
father
moved
into
that
neighborhood
in
1960,
and
that
was
before
you
had
hardaway
high
school
richards,
junior
high
school,
the
interstate
and
even
columbus
college,
and
I've
seen
the
neighborhood
change
and
it's
gotten
better.
It's
gotten
progressive!
AH
Well,
there
was
overcrowding
in
schools
in
1960
when
I
was
in
kindergarten
at
club
view
elementary
in
the
seventh
and
eighth
grade
was
in
club
view
elementary.
You
may
remember
that,
mr
house,
so
we
had
kindergarten
kindergarten
at
the
shrine
club,
but
it
wasn't
the
shrine
club.
Then
now
I
have
no
problems
with
my
phone
and
anybody
that
lives
around
here
has
no
problems
with
their
cell
phones,
none
whatsoever,
and
it's
like
they
said
you
got
cell
phones
everywhere,
towers
everywhere.
E
Good
morning
my
name
is
debbie
mayhew
and
I
reside
at
3401.
Hilton
woods
drive
I'm
against
this
rezoning
for
all
of
the
reasons
that
I
listed
in
the
email
that
I
sent
to
you,
but
one
of
the
main
things
that
I
saw
today
when
a
picture
was
actually
shown
by
the
people.
Making
the
zoning
request
was
that
the
tower
is
not
aesthetically
pleasing
at
all
they're
trying
to
double
in
size.
What
is
already
known
and
around
in
our
area.
The
two
cell
towers
that
counselor
crab
had
listed
for
us.
E
One
idea
would
be
to
move
where
they
want
to
put
this
tower,
as
as
suggested
by
my
neighbors
several
times.
Macon
road
has
a
plethora
of
already
zoned
residential.
I
mean
non-residential
area
that
could
absolutely
take
on
the
cell
phone
tower
attorney
point
of
chef
talked
about
living
at
hilton
avenue
and
averitt
drive.
E
He
doesn't
travel
edgewood
road,
but
if
he's
concerned
about
being
able
to
have
his
cell
service
macon
road
is
closer
to
his
house
than
edgewood
over
to
hilton
south
dixon
drive.
They
tried
to
do
rezoning
on
that
south
dixon
drive
and
macon
road
several
years
ago.
That
would
be
even
closer
for
him.
That's
a
green
lot!
It
has
grass
on
it
where
they
are
proposing.
To
put
this
cell
tower.
E
G
AJ
Seven
months
later,
an
internal
communications
from
his
company
was
wanting
to
take
away
our
sidewalk
and
in
that
internal
communication
it
says
we
have
to
go
back
and
get
a
vote
for
this.
That
never
happened.
So
nothing
has
ever
been
talked
about
a
parking
lot
and
the
rezoning
is
going
to
take
away
from
the
value
and
then
the
other
thing
is
the
people
who
ultimately
own
this
property
according
to
our
bylaws.
AJ
B
AK
My
name
is
cynthia
elliott.
I
live
at
2816
east
lindsay
drive
in
columbus.
I
live
two
doors
away
from
the
shrine
club,
so
I'm
definitely
within
the
circle.
I'll
say
that
it
I
don't
have
the
right
dropped
calls
and
you
know
I.
I
have
plenty
of
reception
there
at
my
home
and
I'm
able
to
get
to
9-1-1
very
easily.
I
hear
a
wrecks
and
that
very
bad
curve
there
on
I-85
185
all
the
time,
and
so
I
do
use
my
phone
and
I
have
no
trouble.
AK
I've
used
verizon
in
the
past
right
now
I
have
t-mobile
and
I'm
not
having
dropped
calls,
thank
goodness,
but
what
I
wanted
to
say
that
it
is
a
privilege
to
speak
to
y'all
today,
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
say
that
this
is
something
that's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
because
it
is
my
home
and
my
neighborhood,
where
I
have
lived
since
1963.
AK
I'm
here,
representing,
though
not
only
myself,
but
other
people
of
the
neighborhood.
These
are
just
people
of
the
neighborhood,
the
area
I
have
a
hundred
and
twenty
some
there.
We
go
copies
for
everybody
signatures
and
from
our
partition,
which
is
opposing
the
cell
phone
tower
and
the
rezoning
most
most
definitely
the
rezoning.
AK
We
have
more
than
that
because
of
other
people
in
our
neighborhood
who
have
gone
out,
and
I
don't
have
those
on
my
list
on
those,
but
they
do
so.
We
have,
you
know
of
course,
tried
our
best
to
you
know,
canvas
the
area
and
find
out
what
the
people
feel
like
and
it's
definitely
in
opposition.
AK
Some
of
them
were
not
here
here
today,
especially
my
neighbor
next
door,
who
is
right
next
to
the
shrine
club,
her
husband
just
got
back
from
a
hospital
stay,
he's
on
oxygen,
they're,
worried
about
the
cell
phone
tower
or
the
rezoning
of
the
shrine
club
as
to
what
may
be
in
the
in
the
future,
and
that's
that's
the
consensus
of
a
lot
of
people
because
we
do
want
it
to
remain
residential
in
nature.
We
have
homes,
you
know,
we've
had
families,
we've
got
lives
that
have
all
been.
AK
AK
It's
still
a
nice
place,
they've
put
a
beautiful
statue
in
the
front,
they're
very
quiet.
I
don't
have
any
trouble
with
them.
They
don't
they're,
not
rebel
rousers,
you
know,
and
and
so
we
we
have
accepted
them.
We
love
that
they
help
the
crippled
children,
and
so
we
have
accepted
them
to
say
that
if
they
ever
were
to
move,
though
what
would
happen?
We
don't
know
and
that's
the
question
we
worry
about.
If
it's
rezoned
to
a
residential
office,
we
don't
know
what
might
come
become
of
it.
AK
You
can
say
it
can
be
a
lodge
or
a
you
know
some
sort
of
a
club,
but
who
you
know
not
all
clubs
and
lodges
are
the
same.
Just
like
those
grocery
stores.
Y'all
were
talking
about
earlier
with
the
lottery
in
them.
You
know
not
all
little
grocery
stores
are
the
same,
and
I've
seen
those
that
y'all
were
talking
about,
and
they
do
look
a
little
sketchy
and
you
worry
about.
I
would
not
go
in
one
of
those.
AK
AK
Let's
see,
I
just
wanted
to
say:
let's
see,
also,
of
course,
we're
worried
about
our
property
values.
That's
one
of
the
main
things
that
they're
concerned
about
our
neighbors
are
concerned
about,
as
well
as
the
rf
waves,
those
radio
frequency
waves,
which
you
know
there
are.
AK
The
you
know
when
I
was
a
little
girl,
it
was
even
more
grassy
and
more
trees
over
there
on
the
creek
and
it
kind
of
gave
you
the
sense
of
you
know
you're
in
the
in
the
city,
but
in
the
country,
and
so
it's
really
nice,
and
so
that's
why
we
like
to
keep
it.
As
you
know,
residential,
that's
what
we
want
the
cell
tower.
AK
Like
most
everybody
has
said
already
it's
going
to
be
150
foot
of
steel,
even
if
it
does
have
green
needles
on
top
of
it-
and
you
know
it's
so
it's
just
going
to
be
so
big,
and
I
just
wish
that
you
would
just
prayerfully
consider
everything
that
everyone
has
said
today,
because
I
don't
think
that
other
people
would
want
that
in
their
area
or
in
their
neighborhood,
because
it
is
a
neighborhood
and
it's
you
know.
We
have
two
three
schools.
AK
I
went
to
richard's
club
un
hardaway
and
then
I
went
to
columbus
state,
which
was
columbus
college
right
then,
and
so
you
know
it's
just
a
great
place
to
live
and
to
grow
up,
and
we
just
don't
want
it
to
change.
So
we
appreciate
you
know
everything
that
y'all
can
do
and
just
prayerfully
consider
y'all
our
message.
Thank
you.

AL
AL
All
the
neighbors,
we're
all
against
rezoning
from
residential
to
residential
office.
She's
got
cindy
got
over
a
hundred
signatures,
but
all
she
did
was
just
go
around
the
neighborhood
just
right
around
the
shrine
club.
You
know
we
can
get
thousands
or
more
signatures
against
this.
If,
if
it's
needed
today
is
the
first
time
we've
heard
about
them,
making
it
look
like
a
tree,
they
were
mr
throttle.
Morton
was
asked
three
years
ago
about
making
it
look
like
a
tree
and
he
said
that
the
tower
would
be
so
tall.
AL
It
would
stick
out
like
a
sore
thumb.
Looking
like
a
tree,
this
is
a
150
foot
tower.
I
don't
think
there's
another
one
in
columbus,
that's
150
foot
tall
and
I
don't
think,
there's
another
one.
That's
stuck
right
into
a
residential
neighborhood.
Either
they
were
asked
three
years
ago
about
it
being
so
tall.
Would
they
have
to
put
a
light
on
top
of
it
for
an
airport,
and
they
said
they
probably
would
you'd
probably
have
to
have
a
light,
a
flashing
light
on
top?
AL
There's
then
talk
about
they're
going
to
lease
it
out
to
all
these
other
companies
to
put
all
their
equipment.
On
top
of
this
tower,
they're
going
to
also
prob
them.
Other
companies
will
probably
have
to
mount
emergency
generators
around
the
base
of
the
tree
for
when
the
power
goes
out
where
they
keep
their
power.

as
saint
nick
of
columbus.
So
at
this
time
of
the
year
yeah
I
was
going
to
have,
I
hope.
AD
AD
So
in
only
13
years,
we've
become
well
grounded
in
the
area
and
I
haven't
spoken
to
a
single
person
that
would
like
to
see
this
change
at
this
time
in
this
location,
and
I
say
that
because
in
the
future
we
may
be
all
for
it,
but
right
now,
as
a
pastor,
if
I
had
so
many
people
coming
up
to
me
after
a
business
meeting
or
during
a
business
meeting,
and
I'm
sure
all
of
you
have
been
to
some
church
business
meetings
in
the
past,
I
would
definitely
think
again
before
passing
something
that
so
many
people
in
the
area
seem
to
be
against.
AD
AD
AD
R
If
there
are
no
other
hands
mayor,
we
will
bring
this
back
the
underlying
zoning
for
a
vote
that
second
tuesday
in
january
at
nine
o'clock,
and
appreciate
everybody
being
here.
R
D
I'll,
let
director
bradley
explain
it,
but
I
think
it's
basically
to
make
it
possible
counselor.
D
AM
Yes,
sir
good
morning,
mayor
council
and
mr
city
manager-
yes,
that
is
correct-
we've
had
difficulties
in
having
a
quorum
at
our
meetings.
Initially,
when
the
commission
was
established,
it
was
that
we
would
meet
we
monthly.
So
we
did
that
for
quite
some
time.
Struggled
then
as
well
and,
of
course,
we've.
Let
them
pick
the
the
day.
The
time
for
the
meeting,
then
we
moved
to
bi-monthly
trying
to
assist
to
make
sure
we
could
have
a
greater
number
of
turnout.
AM
We
were
still
not
successful,
and
so
they
have
asked
that
if
we
could
consider
that
as
an
option
for
them
just
to
be
able
to
accommodate
and
hopefully
have
a
quorum
oftentimes,
we
have
as
many
staff
there
as
we
do
voting
members
and
so
we've
just
not
been
able
to
have
enough
meetings
where
they
could
vote
and
improve
their
minutes.
So
yes,
sir.
R
B
B
V
Whereas
columbus
police,
corporal
david
rogers
handled
k-9
mimi
for
her
entire
columbus
police
department,
career
and
desires
to
undertake
the
care
and
ownership
of
mimi
during
her
retirement,
whereas
k-9
mimi
wears
k-9,
mimi's
accomplishments
and
those
of
corporal
david
rogers
deserves
special
recognition
by
this
council.
Now,
therefore,
our
council
does
hereby
resolve
this
council
expresses
its
deep
appreciation
to
handler
former
columbus
police,
corporal
david
rogers
and
k-9
mimi
for
their
service
and
dedication
to
the
citizens
of
columbus
georgia
and
authorizes
the
transfer
of
mimi
to
the
ownership
of
david
rogers.
I
move
adoption.
Oh,
we.
B
Already
done
that
it's
already
been
adopted,
but
we
congratulate
the
handler
and
thank
canine
mimi
for
her
service
to
the
police
department
and
the
sheriff's
department.
All
right.
B
Q
Thank
you
mayor
appreciate
it.
I
would
like
a
point
of
privilege
if
you
please
allow
me
to
just
want
to
say
to
this
is
hard.
Q
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues
to
all
my
colleagues,
to
god,
my
family
and
the
citizens
of
district
7,
for
the
opportunity
to
serve
them
for
seven
terms,
with
the
loss
of
my
mom
being
sick
for
four
and
a
half
months,
my
daughter
moving
to
colorado
my
son
in
germany
and
going
now
to
texas,
I
had
to
reevaluate
my
life
and
some
health
conditions
that
I'm
experiencing
that
I
like
to
keep
personal,
because
I'm
a
very
private
person,
many
of
y'all
knows
through
some
struggles.
Q
I
wouldn't
tell
you
how
to
figure
it
out
on
your
own,
so
I
have
seriously
thought
about
it
and
it's
hard
for
me
to
say
but
an
exciting
moment,
because
it
will
give
me
an
opportunity
to
share
with
my
children
and
my
family
and
give
me
the
opportunity
to
travel
and
take
care
of
some
of
the
concerns
that
I'm
having
so
I'm
publicly
announcing
to
y'all
today
that
I
will
not
be
seeking
re-election
from
my
seat.
Q
I
didn't
want
to
do
it
in
a
public
setting,
because
you
guys
are
my
family.
We've
been
through
thick
and
thin
together,
and
I
reviewed
that
respect
and
I
didn't
want
it
to
make
it
like
a
show
thing.
You
know
with
the
media.
I
just
wanted
to
make
it
within
family
for
you
to
know
it's
scary,
because
I've
been
here
for
28
years.
Q
Q
Q
Most
of
y'all
know
how
special
my
mom
was,
I
feel
very
lost
without
her
and
I
need
to
to
get
closer
to
family
and
friends
and
running
away
by
working.
All
the
time
is
not
helping,
but
I'm
very
honored
and
very
grateful
to
have
been
with
ali
all
at
the
end
of
this
next
year,
20
to
28
years,
it's
been
very
exciting,
very
learning
and
I'm
very
honored
to
have
shared
and
worked
with
each
and
every
one
of
you.
I
said
I
wasn't
going
to
cry,
but
y'all
know
I'm
a
baby,
I'm
emotional.
Q
V
Thank
you,
mayor
to
my
seat,
mate
of
28
years
to
my
collaborator,
my
sounding
board
and
my
what
I
affectionately
call
my
city
council,
wife.
V
Oh,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
the
the
the
years
that
you've
listened
to
me
and
and
we've
bounced
things
off
one
another.
I
really
appreciate
your
friendship
and
we've
had
other
conversations
about
grandchildren
and
dogs
and.
V
M
V
Evidence,
but
I
want
you
to
know,
you'll,
be
missed
and
cherish
the
time
that
you've
been
here
and
the
time
that
I've
had
to
work
together
with
you
in
a
professional
setting,
knowing
that
your
passion
and
care
for
the
public
and
the
citizens,
especially
the
children,
and
not
to
mention
the
city,
employees,
both
public
safety
and
general
government.
I
know
the
passion
of
your
heart
and
you
will
definitely
be
missed
and
I
hope
and
pray
that
the
person
that
sits
in
that
seat
next
will
carry
that
same
forward
for
our
citizens.
Q
Q
D
Counselor,
listen
thank
you
for
your
service,
counselor
woodson
and
I
met
years
and
years
ago.
Probably
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
a
chamfer
bishop,
fundraiser
for
state
house
or
whatever,
but
we
met
way
back.
Then
she
met
my
wife
before
we
got
married
and
we
go
back
a
ways.
I
was
just
a
community
servant
just
bobbing
in
and
out
helping
out
wherever
I
could
and
volunteering
all
over
town.
D
But
since
I've
been
here,
you
and
I
have
had
a
lot
of
conversation
about
a
lot
of
things
and
you've.
Given
me
a
lot
of
guidance-
and
I
know
since
2014
you've
been
trying
to
let
it
settle
in
whether
you
wanted
to
stay
alive,
so
you
kept
coming
back,
the
competition
came,
you
kept
coming
back
and
you
said
well.
I
think
I
need
to
do
this
one
more
time
so
yeah
I
was
listening
waiting
for
you
to
change
your
mind
again.
D
Yeah,
but
thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
you,
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
private
conversations
and,
like
I
told
you
coming
in
the
door,
there
were
a
lot
of
things
that
you
and
the
mayor
pro
tem
pushed
me
around
about
and
told
me
slow
it
down.
You
know,
get
get
some
help
get
some
help.
You
have
some
good
ideas
to
take
your
time.
So
I
appreciate
you
for
helping
me
with
that,
but
anyway,
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you've
done.
D
Your
people
that
you
introduced
me
to
and
from
lefty
on
got
a
chance
to
talk
to
them
and
they
kind
of
bridge
the
gap
between
your
district
and
my
district
on
the
latin
community,
african-american
community
and
others
going
on
down
the
line
white
community
everybody
to
help
me
to
bridge
the
gap
on
the
things
that
we
had
in
common
between
the
districts
that
we
could
work
work
well
together
on.
So
I'm
here
sharonda's
here,
whatever
you
need
yeah
yeah,
congratulations
and
we
look
forward
to
working
well
with
you
for
another
year.
G
House,
councillor
wilson,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
long
and
dedicated
and
faithful
service
to
this
community.
Without
a
doubt,
you've
been
a
strong
voice
and
a
strong
counselor
to
all
the
rest
of
us
about
the
people
in
in
your
district.
We
fully
expect
to
see
you
out
there.
You
know
talking
to
us
about
whatever
it
is
that
we
need
to
know
about.
G
So
I
expect
to
hear
from
you
whenever
it
is
you're
out
there,
but
thank
you
very
much
for
all
that
you've
done
for
all
of
us
and
we
will
miss
you.
You're
leaving
big
shoes
to
fill
so
go
out
there
and
enjoy
life
a
little
bit
more
as
long
as
you
periodically
show
up
here
to
keep
us
all
straight.
W
I'm
not
going
to
get
emotional
he's
like
you're
right.
W
We
started
our
bun
with
evelyn
and
I'm
extremely
thankful
for
all
that.
You
have
done
sitting
next
to
me
and
pinching
me,
but
not
only
that
you
really
accepting
me
for
who
I
am
you
have
given
me
so
much.
W
It's
not
going
to
work
that
way
and
you
just
took
the
time,
and
I
honestly
not
only
are
you
my
sister
in
arms,
but
you
are
really
my
big
sister
and
you
know
me
and
chris
and
megan,
we
love
you
and
we're
gonna
still
be
together
and
do
some
things
the
same
thing
that
we
was
doing
with
evelyn.
My
plan
is
the
same
thing.
I'm
gonna
do
with
my
big
sister
evelyn
mimi
woodson.
P
One
of
the
few
things
that
I've
learned
to
do
as
far
as
computers
is
facebook,
so
I've
noticed
on
facebook,
with
you
with
your
family
and
whatever
and
one
of
the
times
that
I
was
looking
at.
I
it
brought
me
back
not
to
bring
up
any
tears,
but
what
a
good
daughter
you
were
because
you
and
I
went
through
some-
had
media
talk,
many
a
meeting
as
a
healthcare
professional.
I
knew
I
gave
you
a
preview.
What
to
look
forward
to
just
to
prepare
you
a
lot
of
times.
P
You
don't
want
to
hear
things,
but
I
know
that
you
grabbed
that
information
and
it
helped
to
sustain
you
through
that
very
very,
very
difficult,
difficult
time,
and
you
know
you
can
tell
the
character
of
a
person
by
the
way
they
treat
their
mother
and
all
that
they're
going
through,
and
I
you
and
I
have
had
conversation.
I
know
the
many
difficult
times
that
you've
had
that
you
talked
to
me
about
and
you
as
counselor
houses
says
you
might
be
an
even
counselor,
but
you're
always
going
to
be
involved.
P
Community,
wise-
and
you
know
it
says
in
in
scripture-
there's
a
time
and
a
place,
and
I
know
that
at
that
at
that
time
I
saw
you
struggling,
but
you
made
it
to
council.
It
was
very
difficult
time
and
I
commend
you
for
that
because
I
know
there's
nothing
as
close
to
you
as
your
mother
can
be,
and
so
you
will
be
missed.
You've
always
always
spoken.
Your
opinion
always
said
I
might
be
the
only
one
doing
this
here.
N
One
of
the
things
I'm
thinking
is
that
by
you
telling
us
this
today,
this
will
give
us
some
time
to
get
accustomed
to
this.
Your
term
is
not
officially
up
until
this
time
next
year,
and
so
I
expect
you
to
continue
in
the
way
you
have
continued,
including
every
time
she
sees
me.
She
says
hello
beautiful.
N
What
more
can
you
want?
So
counselor
woodson,
you
you've
left
some
big
shoes
to
be
filled
and
whoever
follows
you
in
that
seat
is
going
to
have
to
really
put
forth
an
effort
for
our
community
and
particularly
for
our
employees.
N
X
Councillor
woodson,
I
just
want
to
say
you
know:
it's
been
an
honor
to
serve
with
you.
I
really
respect
you
know
the
decisions
that
you've
made
and
even
the
hard
ones
like
this,
because
I
know
you
love
service.
I
know
you
love
our
community.
I
know
this
is
hard
for
you.
I
know
you
don't
take
this
decision
lightly,
but
I
know
you're
going
to
be
out
there
helping
us
in
the
front
lines
now
you're
going
to
be
like
city
wide,
though
so
it'll.
X
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
for
the
next
year
and
really
making
this
a
productive
year
and
then
working
with
you
on
the
civil
side
afterwards,
but
good
luck
with
everything
and
know
that
you
are
in
our
prayers.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
and
I'll
keep
mine
very
brief.
You've
always
amazed
me
you're,
one
of
the
strongest
people.
I've
ever
met
and
you've
kept
a
lot
of
balls
in
the
air
all
by
yourself.
At
the
same
time,
your
constituents
always
got
your
best
and
that's
not
something
everybody
can
say
with
ease.
B
I
am
grateful
for
your
counsel,
I'm
grateful
for
the
times
we
didn't
agree
because
it
helped
me
see
another
point
of
view
and
I'm
grateful
for
your
friendship
more
than
anything-
and
I
know
that
will
not
dissipate
as
you
move
into
your
next
adventure,
I'm
ex
I'm
actually
torn.
We
hate
to
see
you
leave,
but
I'm
very
excited
for
you
for
what
the
next
chapter
brings
and-
and
I
got
to
tell
you-
you've
been
a
trailblazer
too.
B
O
Thank
you,
mayor
mimi.
I
don't
think
I
can
duplicate
the
same
words
that
everybody
else
has
spoken
today,
but
I
don't
think
you're
going
anywhere
anytime
soon,
but
I
just
want
to
echo
the
same
sentiments
around
the
table.
I
agree
wholly
and
fully
and
we
understand
the
situation
today,
but
you're
still
here
and
just
thank
you
for
all
your
contributions
to
the
community.
Q
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
I
love
you
guys
very
much.
It
was
a
hard
decision
to
make,
but
I
just
feel
in
my
heart
that
this
is
the
right
time,
and
this
is
the
right
decision.
Am
I
afraid,
yeah
28
years
is
a
long
time,
but
I
just
feel
it's
just
time.
That's
it
and
we'll
see
what
the
lord
has
planned
for
me,
because
I
know
he
does
have
something
planned.
I
love
this
community,
my
children,
they
keep
telling
me
well.
Why
don't
you
move
with
us?
Why
are
you
there
by
yourself?
Q
Q
I
just
want
to
continue
our
friendship
and
pray
for
me
because
I
don't
know
what's
waiting
but
something's
waiting
and
I'm
ready
to
go
for
it.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
for
all
the
emotion
but
y'all
know
me,
I'm
a
wreck
anyway.
So
love
you
all.
I
very
respect.
All
of
you,
you
all
been
wonderful
and
my
constituents
been
amazing,
can't
please
everybody,
but
at
least
60
of
them
love
me,
and
I
know
that
each
time
for
each
election
and
for
the
citizens
of
columbus.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
impact
your
life.
Q
I
know
clifton
be
happy
to
see
me
go.
Oh
my
god.
Here
she
comes
again,
but
it's
been
a
great
honor
and
sandra
we've
been
together
a
long
time.
I
know
you'd
never
believed
me,
but
the
day
has
come
and
thank
you
and
lindsay.
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
When
chad
just
left
us,
you
took
the
boat
and
you
kept
going
and
isaiah.
I
can't
say
enough
right
now:
you
you're
like
a
brother
to
me
beyond
that.
Q
We
have
we've
had
our
moments,
but
we've
always
respected
each
other
and
we
always
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
accomplished
what
we
needed
to
accomplish,
and
that
means
the
world
to
me,
and
I
know
I
can
call
you
at
any
time
and
I
know
you're
there
and
lisa
you're,
like
my
sister
hitting
back
there.
I
appreciate
you
through
all
the
help
that
you've
given
me
with
the
festival
and
it
will
get
bigger.
Q
Knowing
well
rob,
has
some
new
ideas
and
tanisha.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
call
you
at
all
hours
of
the
night
in
time.
I
appreciate
it
there's
so
many
people
to
thank,
but
god
knows
in
my
heart-
and
you
guys
know
your
heart,
how
much
I
appreciate
everything
y'all
done
for
me
and
thank
you.
Let's
continue
business
before
I
become
a
nervous
wreck
city.
R
X
R
But
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
and
our
assistants.
Of
course,
jamie
deloach
lucy
chef
dawg.
You
know
it's
always
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
and
you
have
made
everybody
around
here
think
outside
of
the
box.
So
we
appreciate
your
service
and
look
forward
to
finishing
up
the
next
year
with
you
and
merry
christmas
and
feliz
navidad.
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Let
me
before
I
get
to
my
agenda,
just
a
couple
of
things
say:
congratulations
to
councillor
woodson
on
her
pending
retirement.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
many
years
of
service
and
the
impact
that
you've
had
on
the
district
that
you
serve,
and
I've
said
to
you
many
times
when
we
calculate
the
total
investments
across
our
city.
K
I
am
not
running,
and
but
they
twisted
your
arm
and
somehow
got
you
to
say.
Yes,
you
would
go
ahead
and
do
it.
You
said
this
time,
but
it's
always
good.
When
that
comes
from
the
people,
you
know
you
wanted
to
retire,
walk
away.
The
people
said
no
we're
not
ready
for
you
to
do
that.
So
congratulations.
K
Thank
you
for
your
years
of
service
and
mayor
and
council.
This
is
the
last
meeting
before
christmas
and
before
the
new
year,
and
you
know
whether
it
dawned
on
you
or
not.
During
the
public
hearing,
you
actually
had
saint
nick
at
the
microphone
and
I
asked
him
for
his
card
and
it
says
saint
nick
and
on
the
back,
it's
pastor,
john
brunette,
and-
and
so
I
asked
him
if
he
would
just
stick
around
for
a
minute
and
they're
going
to
wait
on
him
downstairs.
K
But
I
want
him
to
come
to
the
microphone
and
and
put
his
hat
on,
and
I
want
him
to
greet
you,
the
citizens
on
behalf
of
ccgtv
and
and
maybe
say
merry
christmas
in
his
own
special
way
and
then
they'll
pull
it
from
this
opportunity
here
and
you'll
see
it
run
on
ccgtv
during
the
holiday
season.
AD
AD
Well,
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me
to
come
and
say
a
few
words
and
let
the
first
words
be
merry
christmas
to
everyone
and
a
happy
new
year
on
behalf
of
all
of
those
who
depend
upon
our
local
city,
council
and
all
of
those
who
are
watching
ccgtv.
AD
And
here's
what
I
always
have
to
say
number
one
think
of
others
before
you
think
of
yourself
and
number
two
treat
others
the
way
you
want
to
be
treated,
not
my
words,
but
the
words
of
someone
so
much
wiser
and
greater
than
me.
So
wherever
you
are
feliz
navidad,
merry
christmas
and
a
happy
and
blessed
new
year.
AD
AD
K
K
First
on
my
agenda
and
we've
got
some
guests
here:
is
midland
cummins
tax
allocation
district
fund
grant
jmc
flat
rock
partners.
Llc
recall
that
we
came
to
you
in
august
of
2021,
and
you
authorized
the
city
manager's
office
to
enter
into
negotiations
negotiations
with
jmc
flat
rock
partners
llc,
and
our
staff
did
exactly
that
and
concluded
those
negotiations
with
an
agreement
that
defines
the
number
of
payments,
the
timing
of
payments
and
overall
length
of
time
the
agreement
will
be
enforced.
K
The
agreement
also
establishes
a
city
administrative
fee
of
five
thousand
dollars
per
year
to
be
paid
out
of
the
midland
columbus
tax
allocation
fund
and
before
any
other
payments
are
made,
and
so
you
authorize
us
to
go
into
negotiations.
We've
negotiated
and
we
are
bringing
back
the
terms
of
the
negotiation
to
you
for
your
approval
and
the
payout
of
14.5
million
dollars
will
begin
with
an
initial
payment
of
sixty
thousand
seven
hundred
thirty
seven
dollars
and
sixty
cents
motion.
B
K
Then
each
project
will
receive
its
proportional
share,
based
on
the
amount
for
its
scheduled
payment
due
that
year.
So
we
just
want
to
be
clear:
if
we
don't
have
it,
we
don't
pay
it,
and
so
it's
not
putting
council
or
the
citizens
in
any
awkward
position,
and
so
that
is
should
a
shortfall
occur,
and
we
want
to
be
clear
about
that
and
we
do
have
some
representatives
here
and
you
know.
I
will
conclude
by
saying
that
the
agreement
terminates
at
the
end
of
20
years.
K
So
the
staff
is
negotiated
and
this
negotiation
results
in
an
agreement
that
looks
out
for
this
city
for
the
ccg
you
and
the
citizens
of
columbus,
and
so
that's
what
you've
just
approved-
and
I
don't
know
if
anyone
wants
to
speak-
you
don't
have
to,
but
we
want
it
to
to
make
sure
it
was
clear
that
this
is
the
result
of
the
negotiated
term
or
agreement.
Yes,
sir,.
AN
Good
afternoon
everybody,
how
are
you
all
today?
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
I've
met
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
all
individually
on
this,
and
this
has
been
a
long
process.
We've
started
working
with
rick
pam
and
will
and
have
graduated
up
and
walked
through
what
our
plan
was
with
each
and
every
one
of
you,
and
we
have
never
been
met
with
any
resistance.
AN
We
may
not
have
been
able
to
do
everything
the
way
that
we
wanted
them
to,
but
y'all
showed
us
a
different
way
and-
and
I
think
we
all
balanced
out
and
made
this
project
happen
and
we'll
look
forward
to
having
the
grocery
store
open
next
year
and
the
lifestyle
center
open
next
year
and
have
each
and
every
one
of
y'all
out
there
to
enjoy
what
y'all
helped
build
and
we
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
mr
white.
AN
K
K
So
next,
on
my
agenda,
mayor
and
council,
I've
got
housing
authority
of
columbus
request
for
environmental
review
approval.
It's
for
a
2.5
million
dollar
motion.
B
K
Yeah
yeah,
you
did.
You
voted
before.
I
started
talking
yes
yeah,
but
this
is
2.5
million
hud
funding
that
will
be
released
for
modernization
of
elizabeth
canty
and
warren
williams,
rivers,
homes.
B
All
right
there's
also
a
motion
to
approve
items
three
and
four
on
the
city
manager's
agenda
from
councillor
davis.
Second,
about
the
mayor
pro
tem,
any
discussion
from
either
one
of
those
items.
All
right.
Can
you
cue
that
bruce
or
do
we
need
to
do
a
voice
phone
one
at
a
time.
B
K
B
Motion
to
prove
a
through
e
from
councillor
house
and
there's
a
second
from
I
think,
council
crabbe-
is
that
who
I
heard
all
right
councillor
huff.
Any
anybody
want
any
one
of
those
pulled
for
discussion
all
right,
all
those
in
favor.
Please
say
we
can
register
all
right
enter
your
vote.
M
K
So
mayor,
the
contract
extension
for
mma
telephone
system
muscogee,
county
prison
is
was
a
b
records
management
system
database
modification
services
for
the
sheriff's
office.
It's
177,
744
dollars
for
modification
required
for
the
records
management
system
c
is
a
contract
extension
for
uniform
services,
and
this
is
a
short
contract
extension
until
we
can
complete
the
rfp
process
and
then
number
d
is
an
annual
subscription
for
fee
for
sheriff's
office
online
training.
K
Thirty
one
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars
and
e
would
be
gray
key
forensic
software
license
for
mobile
devices
for
the
columbus
police
department,
it's
twenty
seven
thousand
nine
hundred
and
twenty
four
dollars
and
forty
eight
cents.
Those
are
the
purchases
and
I've
just
got
a
couple
of
updates
and
they
are
very
short
unless
you
have
questions
okay,
the
first
one
is
in
both
of
my
deputy
city
manager.
Goodwin
one
is
on
evictions
and
the
other
is
animal
care
and
control.
AO
AO
Two
again,
we've
met
october,
the
18th
november,
the
ninth
and
december,
the
ninth,
and
we
are
looking
to
come
back
to
you
on
january,
the
11th,
with
the
first
reading
of
a
new
ordinance
that
would
have
certain
stipulations
and
some
of
the
things
that
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
here
in
terms
of
the
meeting
highlights,
but
also
a
proposed
resolution
of
what
we
have
come
up
with
with
in
in
conjunction
with
the
landlords.
These
are
things
that
they
wanted
things
that
we
think
that
we
can
agree
on.
AO
One
is
waiving
the
landfill
tipping
fees
for
those
who
will
be
taking
care
of
their
own
debris,
taking
it
to
the
landfill
landfill.
We
will
not
charge
them
coming
up
with
three
business
days
for
them
to
remove
the
debris
either
the
tenant
and
or
the
landlord.
It
would
be
again
three
business
days
not
three
days
but
giving
them
that
opportunity,
because
they
of
course
share
it
with
us.
AO
It's
just
hard,
sometimes
particularly
on
the
weekends
and
those
things
are
last
minute
to
get
someone
to
come
in
and
haul
it
away,
particularly
with
things
being
with
their
short
too
in
terms
of
employees.
AO
So
we're
three
days
we're
going
to
allow
that,
but
keeping
in
mind
that
on
the
fourth
day,
if
that
material
remains
out
there,
then
they
will
be
cited,
and
so
our
codes
and
enforcement
will
come
in
and
cite
them
after
that.
Fourth
day,
if
the
debris
is
not
removed,
the
city
will
come
in
call
our
contractor
in.
We
will
remove
it,
and
then
we
will
send
that
invoice
to
the
property
owner
and
a
lien
will
be
placed
on
that
property
if
it
is
not
paid.
J
AO
Well,
you
know
the
contractor
can
set
the
price,
but
the
price
that
we
have
certainly
come
up
with
was
500
if
they
feel
that
they
can
do
it
less
than
that,
then
you
know
we
certainly
want
the
best
price.
K
K
If
they
didn't
get
it
with
the
time
frame
that
we've
agreed
to,
if
they
have
their
shot
to
get
it
and
we
send
our
contractor
yeah,
then
we're
going
to
build
them
and
that
building.
I
have
not
talked
with
you
about
it,
but
perhaps
that
if
it's
500,
if
that's
what
it
is,
but
but
we
we
are
going
to
add
an
administrative
handling
fee,
because
I
mean
it
has
to
be
processed
right.
We've
got
to
go
after
them,
we're
talking
about
putting
the
lien
on
the
property
if
they
don't
pay
it.
That
cost
still.
J
J
AO
And
again,
we
have
not
yet
decided.
We
know
that
what
our
option
was
option
two,
so
we're
going
to
get
once
we
of
course
get
with
lucy
she's
going
to
be
preparing
that
ordinance.
We
will
determine
with
the
assistance
of
public
works,
of
what
that
cost
would
be.
I
mean
it
would
be.
A
minimum
you
know,
could
be
a
minimum
of
five
well.
K
K
K
M
J
K
AO
J
J
You
know
awesome
throughout
this.
AO
AO
Yeah
so,
but
that's
where
we
are
it's
it's
going
to
be
zero
tolerance.
We've
got
to
clean
things
up,
you
know
this
is
just
an
area
here,
fortson
business
park
that
we've
just
recently
had
to
go
and
clean
up,
and,
of
course
this
is
not
per
se
an
eviction,
but
this
is
just
this
is
this
is
just
trash
debris,
that's
all
throughout
our
city,
and
so
in
many
cases
I
mean
that's.
What
evictions
can
look
like
you've
seen
them.
I've
showed
you
the
photos,
and
so
it
it.
AO
M
AO
AO
Q
Yes,
I
was
going
to
ask
the
same
question
but
crabs
handling.
She
did
a
fantastic
job.
I
watched
the
youtube
how
she
handled
the
the
landlords.
It
was
really
really
good,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
on
the
ordinance,
we're
gonna
say
minimum
plus.
Q
Q
But
just
want
to
make
sure
that
in
the
ordinance
it
does
say
before
minimum
it
could
be.
AI
AO
Absolutely,
and
in
this
case
you
know,
we
sent
the
the
grab,
ball
had
to
go
out
pick
up
the
big
stuff,
but
then
we
had
to
have
boots
on
ground
to
pick
up
the
up.
You
know
the
the
small
stuff
and
kind
of
just
really
clean
it
up,
and
so
that's
time
and
that's
labor
for
us
to
have
to
go
and
do
this.
B
AO
N
Mr
city
manager,
hearing
this
conversation,
two
things
come
to
my
mind.
First
of
all,
let's
be
sure
that
we
are
really
clear
on
what
the
charges
may
be
and
how
much
they
may
be,
and
secondly,
let's
be
really
cognizant
of
notifying
the
landlord
community.
I'm
not
sure
how
you
do
that,
but
to
make
sure
that
they
know
that
this
is
the
new
procedure
and
there
will
be
zero
tolerance
and
make
sure
as
as
much
as
we
can
to
get
the
word
out
that
this
is
what
we
are
now
doing.
N
But
let's
be
real
clear
on
how
much
we
are
charging
and
who
who
pays
and
all.
AO
And
we
of
course
share
it
with
them
when
the
first
reading
would
take
place
on
january.
The
11th-
and
I
know
you
will
have
plenty
here-
the
landlords
will
be
here
to
to
be
a
part
of
that
discussion
on
first.
W
AO
The
household
garbage
is
about
42.50
per
ton.
Construction
debris
is
the
same
forty-two
dollars
and
fifty
cents
per
time.
So.
W
AO
M
AO
M
W
And
when
I
was
out
just
saturday,
I'm
finding
new
dumping
locations
over
in
district
4
that
I
wasn't
even
aware
of
and
honestly,
if
you
did
not
get
out
your
car,
you
wouldn't
notice,
because
this
is
it's
like
a
mound.
W
K
The
city
well
and
again,
I
think
the
comprehensive
camera
program
is
really
going
to
help
us
and
we
are
going
to
get
them.
You
know,
and
you
know,
when
we
get
the
camera
system,
we
I
want
to
play
what
they
play
on
cops
bad
boys,
bad
boys,
what
you
going
to
do,
what
you
going
to
do
when
we
come
for
you
because
we're
coming
to
get
them,
and
so
I
just
assure
you
we
will
get
them.

And
the
last
thing
you
know
that
we
know
that
we
may
have
to
consider
right
now.
I'm
sorry.
V

A
couple
other
things
we
discussed
landfill
hours
on
the
weekends
is
that
going
to
be?
Are
you
is
that
what
you're
about
to
address.
M
J
And
then
so
before
you
address
that,
let
me
ask
you
one
thing
on
this
wave
of
the
landfill
tipping
fees,
you're
going
to
put
that
it's
that
that
is
waived
during
those
three
business
days.
That's
going
to
be
specified.
AO

Of
course,
we
had
it
open
previously
with
all
of
the
issues
in
terms
of
the
waste
issues
that
we're
having,
but
right
now,
it's
it's
once
a
month
that
it's
open
the
first
saturday
of
the
month,
what
we're
looking
to
do,
because
we
know
that
we've
got
to
get
saturday
in
there
and
because
of
the
shortage,
it's
very
hard
for
us
to
do
that
right
now,
every
saturday
so
we're
looking
at
perhaps
instead
of
monday
through
friday,
and
then
that
first
saturday,
we
may
then
have
to
open
it
tuesday
through
saturday.

And
the
final
subject,
yes,
is
the
animal
care
and
control
contract,
since
we
get
that
you
have
documentation
there
before
you.
If
you
recall,
of
course,
on
november
the
9th
was
first
reading,
you
approved
the
initial
contract,
we
were
going
to
go
back,
continue
the
negotiations
and
come
back
to
you
with
the
details
of
the
contract
for
approval
and
the
start
of
the
contract
was
going
to
be
january.
AO
The
3rd.
However,
a
letter
was
received
by
the
chair
of
paul's
board
on
december,
the
10th
sent
to
director,
I'm
short,
and
you
have
a
copy
of
that
letter,
indicating
that
the
ceo
that
we've
been
working
with
is
no
longer
with
paul's
and
that
they
are
now
in
search
for
new
leadership,
and
this
ceo
is
the
only
one
that
we
have
been
dealing
with
throughout
this
entire
process
and
negotiating
with
and
as
a
result,
we
recommend
that
we
place
this
contract
on
pause
until
such
until
such
time.
K
And
I
do
want
to
say
you
know:
we've
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
around
this
table.
M
K
And
when
I
talked
to
deputy
city
manager
and
others,
the
only
person
that
they
have
negotiated
with
has
been
this
leader,
I
mean
not
board
members,
not
other
solely
this
person.
Yes,
and
now
this
person
is
gone,
and
so
I
don't
know
where
that
places
us,
but
we
we
just
got
to
figure
it
out,
because
they've
not
had
conversation
with
anyone
else.

Motion
by
counselor

seconded
by

think
it

opposed.

Yes,

you,

This

be

Mr
mayor
pro
tem,
I
did
just
want
to
also
extend
my
congratulations
to
the
upcoming
retirement
of
councillor
whitson.
AP
I
would
always
jokingly
say
to
her.
I
didn't
know
where
she
would
get
the
energy
to
be
running
to
various
meetings
and
meeting
with
constituents
and
doing
all
the
things
that
she
does
for
the
constituents
in
district
7
and
for
the
city
as
a
whole,
but
I
just
want
to
say,
as
you
seek
some
guidance
from
god
and
moving
into
that
next
chapter
of
your
life.
AP
