F

D
I
D
G
K
N
O
How
y'all
doing
I'm
Dan
Gilbert
president
of
whitewater,
Express
and
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
bring
a
message
from
the
river
to
the
county.
So
thanks
to
the
council,
the
we
have
a
lot
of
great
things
going
on
this
summer.
One
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
is
most
fun
is
we
have
an
adventure
camp
for
kids,
it's
aged
seven
to
twelve,
and
what
we
do
is
we
bring.
O
We
bring
50
children
from
Columbus
into
the
to
the
river
and
we
teach
them
out
of
fun
on
the
river
and
how
to
do
it
safely
and
we
open
registration.
Five
days
ago.
We
still
have
space
available,
so
I
don't
know
about
that.
The
last
year
they've
always
asked
us
about
numbers
on
the
river
and
there's
no
place
that
it's
better
to
talk
about
numbers
than
with
with
y'all.
So
we
had.
Last
year
we
had
over
50,000
people
come
to
the
river,
convey
their
zip-lined
over
the
river
or
they
went
down
the
river.
O
Now,
interestingly,
75
percent
of
those
people
drove
over
50
miles
to
get
here.
So
that
means
they
came
from
places
like
Dothan
and
Noonan
in
Atlanta
and
Tallahassee.
The
great
story
that
goes
with,
that
is,
what
does
people
do
when
they
get
here?
Is
they
spend
money
and
they
they
they
buy
food?
They
buy
gas
that
buy
hotel
rooms.
Last
year
we
tried
to
our
guests
our
guests
last
year
and
they
they
purchased
over
4,000
hotel
rooms
over
2018,
see
now
what
that
means.
That's
great
I
mean
what
that
means
is
a
nothing
else.
O
100
and
over
well.
Over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
went
to
see
VB,
you
know,
there's
great
rewards
and
what
what
we've
also
tracked
to
the
city
is
tracked
is
from
the
opening
of
the
white
water
in
2013
until
a
couple
years
ago.
What
happened
in
Uptown
is
revenues.
Gross
revenues
went
up.
Forty,
seven
percent,
so
I
think
many
cities
visit,
including
this
past
weekend.
O
O
Certainly,
the
interestingly
to
the
we
are
very
diverse
on
the
road
were
diverse
in
ethnicity,
we're
diverse
in
economic
background
and
I.
Think
that's
important.
If
you
come
down
and
watch
what's
going
on,
you'll
see
you'll,
see,
rafters
and
zippers
you'll
see
joggers
you'll,
see
walkers
you'll
see
just
people,
some
people
will
come
down,
I
mean
I've,
seen
elderly
people
come
down
and
bring
a
lunch
and
sit
on
the
side
of
the
river
and
watch
those
crazy
people
going
down
the
rapids
I.
O
Don't
think
you're
right,
I,
don't
think
they're,
crazy,
I
think
everybody
should
do
this.
So
the
let
me
tell
you
about
one
thing
to
have
in
this
weekend.
So
this
weekend
we
had
the
trail
summit
here
in
Columbus
and
we
had
a
company
REI
many
of
y'all,
probably
heard
about
that.
That's
one
largest
largest
retail
out
calcio
retail
companies
in
the
country.
So
they
sent
a
crew
down
to
go
down
the
river
and
they
didn't
tell
us
about
it
ahead
of
time.
They
just
wanted
to
kind
of
sneak
in
and
go.
O
They
go
on
rivers
all
over
the
country.
We
know
we
have
great
whitewater
down
here,
but
they
came
in
and
and
they
after
the
trip,
they
got
back
with
me
and
asked
me
to
come
in
for
a
meeting,
and
they
said
this
was
the
best
experience
that
ever
had
on
any
River
in
the
country
on
whitewater,
which
kind
of
blew
me
away.
O
Yeah
I
love
hearing
that
from
big
companies.
Sorry
I
was
gonna,
set
up
trips
from
Chattanooga
Asheville
Atlanta
to
bring
buses
down
here,
so
they
can
experience
the
same
thing.
So
it's
good
news
now.
This
is
the
employee
appreciation
week
coming
up
and
I
think
the
one
great
way
to
you
know:
employees
can
come
down
to
the
river
and
just
have
a
lunch
on
the
side
of
the
river.
If
they
do
it
together,
that's
a
team-building
Enterprise
just
in
itself
getting
outside
of
the
office
and
engaging
with
their
their
fellow
workers.
O
B
O
P
O
D
D
B
B
Whereas
the
employees
of
the
Columbus
consolidated
government,
I,
suppose
favorite
assets
and
wears,
it
is
important
to
recognize
the
various
achievements
of
these
employees,
including
the
peer
award,
and
where
is
the
promoting
employee
excellence.
The
recognition
award
recognizes
employees
who
make
constant
contributions
to
the
organization's
through
outstanding
job
performance,
to
set
an
example
about
standing
quality
management,
team
work
and
our
customer
service
who
significantly
enhanced
the
work
environment
by
contributing
to
the
personal
well-being
at
co-workers
and
their
families.
B
Unless
the
Sandra
Chandler
and
employ
the
finance
department
has
been
selected
as
the
recipient
for
the
first
quarter
of
2019
and
with
all
citizens
of
Columbus
and
employees
of
the
sonomas.
The
solid
eight
the
government
urge
to
recognize
and
appreciate
the
contributions
made
to
have
come
to
good
and
its
outstanding
employee
and
that
for
Skippy
him
to
some
miracle.
I'm.
A
steward
here,
I
planned
Tuesday
7
2019

office.
D
R

Common

B
S
Do
that
good
evening,
everyone
at
the
council,
I'm
Carmindy,
hood
I,
am
done
with
the
CCG
family
for
about
five
years,
but
I've
been
working
in
the
board
of
assessor's
office
for
about
two
years
for
in
fact,
about
myself,
I
actually
was
an
extra
in
the
movie
redeemed.
That
was
filmed
here
in
Columbus
a
great
time
with
the
man's
and
Mackey
project
that
was
there,
so
that
was
very
rewarding
and
fun
I'm.
Just
a
wonderful
person
and
I
just
look
forward
to.
T
Q
U
Good
evening
my
name
is
a
cap
hat
I'm
an
investigator
for
the
DA's
office,
I've
been
there
just
over
17
years,
but
in
a
roundabout
way,
I've
been
there
23
or
24.
Actually
I
just
like
to
say
thank
you
to
the
council
on
this
Mayor
Pro
Tem,
my
coworkers.
It
really
is
the
sounds
cliche,
of
course,
but
it's
a
team
effort
on
the
third
floor
and
I'm
just
happy
to
be
a
part
of
it.
I'd
also
like
taste.
Thank
you
to

a
honor,
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.

Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Deanna
Franks
I
started
my
career
with
the
City
of
Columbus
in
2007,
actually
started
with
the
police
department.
Here
I
did
a
lateral
transfer
in
2010
to
the
marshal's
office,
so
the
bulk
of
my
career
has
been
as
a
deputy
marshal.
The
job
I
do
is
not
individualized
at
all.
It
is
a
group
effort,
I'm,
very
humbled
and
elated
to
be
recognized,
but
I
could
not
I
have
that
opportunity
without
the
group
I
work
with
a
wonderful
group
of
men
and
women.
V
I
am
also
a
very
proud
mother
of
two
teenage
girls,
which
is
a
task
in
itself,
but
I'm
very
thankful
to
be
here
very
proud
to
be
employed
with
the
City
of
Columbus
as
well.
It's
been
a
good
run
so
far,
and
just
thank
you
and
I'm
being
supported
by
some
of
the
deputies.
I
have
chief,
more
lieutenant
Bowers,
Sargent,
rolling,
corporal
Cox
and
also
deputy
Larry
Marshall.

It

So
I
really
appreciate
all
of
them,

Q
C
B
And
this
one
reads:
where

its
most
valuable
assets
where

And
I've
been

CCG
for
12
years
I,
just
recently,
transitioned
from
the
finance

working
as
the
payroll
coordinator
and
now
I'm
working
as

family
here.
Hives
and
Angelica
Rondo's
in
the
back
I
also
want

My
current

and
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
was
involved
and
voted

Only

works
department
and
he
has
selected

this

B
B
So
we
had
a
little
appreciate
our

give

they
don't
just
get
the
award.
They

So

We

Well,

As

But,

over
100
projects
every
year

Sometimes
three

AD
Now
this
particular
product
as

explain,
has
worldwide
potential
and

those
products
because
if
they

products

front
of
it.
Okay,

them
come

Tell

Artie
he's
from
seventh
grade
we'll
go
from
black
from
middle
school.
We
first
want
to
thank
our
parents,
our
teachers
and
dr.
Turner
for
giving
us
this
opportunity
to
stand
before
here
and
talk
to
all
without
them,
none
of
it.
None
of
us
would
be
here.
AF
AE
Also,
animals
that
we
depend
on
food
like
cows
and
pigs
will
eat
some
of
it
because
it
might
end
up
at
new
farms
from
rain
rivers.
They
eat
it,
they
have
it
inside
assistance
when
we
eat
and
when
we
eat
those
animals,
we
can
get
sick
and
have
life-threatening
ailments
like
cancer
and
other.
Like
cardiac
arrest.
AE
AD
I'm
going
real
quick
because
they
have
another
engagement
after
this
they're
going
to
be
recognized
at
another
function,
but,
as
you
know,
from
what
he
was
saying,
his
project
of
their
project
has
worldwide
potential,
so
I
hope
they
continue.
Working
with
this
project
because,
as
you
know,
trying
to
get
rid
of
plastics
in
our
environment
makes
a
big
big
difference
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
push
them
to
keep
going
and
like
I
said,
the
million
dollars
will
be
a
big
big
consent.

And
whereas
these
guardians
are
dedicated
members
of
the
International
Code
Council.
A
us-based
organization
that
brings
together
local
state
and
federal
officers
that
are
experts
in
building
environment,
to
create
an
inter
planted
highest
quality
code
to
protect
us
in
the
buildings
where
we
live,
learn,
work
and
worship
and
play.
Whereas
building
safety
month
is
sponsored
by
the
International
Code
Council.
N
To
remind
the
public
about
the
critical
role
of
our
community,
largely
unknown
guardians
of
public
safety,
our
local
code
officials,
who
assure
us
of
safe,
effective
and
livable
buildings
that
are,
in
essence
to
keeping
America
great
and
whereas
no
codes,
no
confidence.
The
theme
of
building
safety
month
2019
encourages
all
Americans
to
raise
awareness
of
the
importance
of
safety
in
construction,
fire
prevention
disaster
and
new
technology
in
the
construction
industry
building
safety
month
2019
encourage
appropriate
steps.
N
Everyone
can
take
to
ensure
safety
of
our
building
environment,
recognized
that
the
implementation
of
safety
codes
by
local
and
state
agencies
has
saved
lives
and
protect
homes
and
businesses,
whereas
each
year
in
observation
of
building
safety
month,
Americans
are
asked
to
consider
the
commitment
to
improve
building
safety
and
economy
investments
in
homes
in
the
community
and
to
acknowledge
the
essence
of
service
provider
to
all
of
us
by
local
and
state
building
departments,
fire
prevention,
Bureau
federal
agency
and
protection
of
life
and
property.
Now
now,
therefore,
I
BG
skip
Henderson.
N
AG
Well,
thank
you.
Ideally
people
see
us
typically
it's
on
the
wrong
side.
This
is
what
we
do
wrong.
If
we're
coming
out
to
fix
things
that
we're
dealing
with
out
in
the
field,
but
building
safety
month,
we
try
to
be
a
little
bit
more
proactive
and
show
things
that
we're
doing
positively
week.
One
is
the
disaster
readiness
program
and
this
year,
normally
we
donated
to
our
local
fire
department,
but
this
year
we're
going
to
donate
$1000
to
Ellis
Lea,
volunteer
fire
department
due
to
the
issues
and
storms
that
they
were
dealing
with
this
coming
week.
AG
The
next
week
we
have
our
golf
tournament:
we've
given
over
$25,000
in
scholarships,
since
the
organization
has
been
around
since
1992
individuals
in
the
Cova
field
and
their
family
members
to
have
them
the
opportunity
to
go
to
college
the
fourth
week
we
deal
with
communities
so
ideally
we're
picking
a
day
we're
going
to
hang
out
at
Home
Depot
on
a
Saturday
morning.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
home
builders,
and
people
who
have
questions
about
do
I
need
a
permit.
AG
What's
this,
for
what
can
I
do
and
what
can
I
not
do
so
we're
gonna
hang
out
there
for
a
few
hours
and
kind
of
let
them
know.
What's
going
on
in
the
last
week,
we're
doing
innovations
and
building
safety.
So
you
have
a
few
things
on
the
wraps:
we're
not
gonna
present
them
quite
yet,
but
we're
we've
got
a
few
things
we're
looking
at
to
move
forward
with
designs
and
technology.
Taking
advantage
of
that.

So
it's
always
fortunate
that
when
these
events
are
being
planned
and
put
on
when
you
reach
out
to
local
community
partners
and
different
things
and
you
let
them
know
what
your
goal
is,
they
don't
even
care
where
you're
from
they
just
know.
We
have
a
job
to
do.
Let's
get
it
done.
How
can
we
help
so
it's
always
a
blessing
to
be
able
to
still
build
those
relationships
and
cultivate
them
to
help
serve
the
community
as
a
whole.
So
I
am
just
grateful
and
blessed.

I'm
really
excited
to

AH
N
And
I,
just
personally
want
to
apologize.
I
said
2,000
and
I
want
to
apologize.
I
said

nobody
caught
it,
but
the
mere
protections.
Maybe
it's
that
it
wrong,
but
our
person
they
want
to
say
to
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
that
you're
doing
for
our
community,
because
without
your
help
and
your
team,
our
first
responders
would
not
have
be
equipped
to
be
able
to
assist
in
this
situation
with
the
drug
substance,
which
is
a
very
big
issue.
N
That's
going
on
now,
not
only
in
our
community
but
nationwide,
and
people
like
yourself.
I
would
call
yourself
an
angel
angels
like
yourself
that
watch
over
other
children
and
other
people.
You
need
to
be
very
proud
of
yourself
and
may
God
bless
you
and
your
family
always
for
having
that
heart
to
think
of
others.
AC
I
just
want
to
say
Amen
for
what
all
that
many
said,
because
they're
Cal
ability
courts
on
your
shoulders
and
I
know
how
hard
that
you
work
for
this
here
and
it
will
save
so
many
countless
lives.
But
you
wonder
self.
There
wasn't
for
your
efforts,
our
first
responders
out
there
on
the
front
they
put
themselves
in
jeopardy
and
without
having
narcan
it
would
be
a
serious
situation.
So
thank
you
again
alone
to
doctor
for
all
the
job.
AC
AC
And
Mayor
Pro
10
and
everyone
here
we

would
like
for
one
representative
of
each
of
the
nursing
organizations
to
step
forward,
tell
a
little
bit
about
what
your
organization
does
and
I
know
just
from
the
beginning.
I
know
every
organization
here,
because
you
are
a

are
advocates.

anything

be
a

it
all
so
well
and
so
smoothly
and
so
safely
that
you
don't
recognize
they're
there.
But
all
of
these
people
here
I'm
proud
to
stand
shoulder
to
shoulder
with
them,
because
they've
done
a
phenomenal
job.
They
do
that
every
single
day.
F
I
think
you
saw
that
during
the
tornadoes,
but
we've
taken
care
of
a
lot
of
other
issues
that
never
gets
to
the
level
where
we
have
to
be
here
to
talk
about
it,
which
is
exactly
how
we
like
it
I'm,
also
really
pleased
to
have
William
Kent
from
the
waterworks
who
is
part
of
the
Public
Works
community.
He
and
his
staff
and
Ally
from
engineering
Rick
Jones
wanted
to
be
here
and
it
had
a
family
emergency,
but
he
sends
his
best
and
said
he
would
be
proud
to
stand
with
us
too.

You

a
lot
of
departments
within
this
government,
but
this
is
the
only
department
that
touches
every
single
citizen
in
this
community
and
others
do
a
lot,
but
they
do
it
all
and
so
we're
just
proud
of
them,
and
so

So

P

With
about
recycling
keeping
our
communities
clean,
she
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
highly
successful
events
such
as
help
the
hootch
and
has
been
instrumental,
probably
one
of
the
most
instrumental
folks
in
Columbus,
in
establishing
the
environmental
Court
in
Columbus
Georgia
that
has
dedicated
hearing
cases
concerning
environmental
issues
and
whereas
Gloria
Weston
smart
is
recognized
as
a
leader
in
many
aspects
of
Columbus
consolidated
government
in
a
community
Lori
Weston
smart
has
remained
tactful
in
encouraging
cooperation
between
all
parties
working
to
accomplish
common
goals.
Her
time,
dedication
and
perseverance
deserve
the
highest
recognition.
Q
B
D
B
AT
Thank
you.
We
pretend
we
do
appreciate
that
that
honor
and
to
our
city
manager,
I,
want
to
say
thank
you
to.
We
have
really
enjoyed
the
support
of
our
local
legislators.
Our
state
legislators,
as
well
as
the
National
ones
and
I
stand
here
to
be
received
an
individual
award,
but
it
was
from
a
team
effort
and
we
could
not
have
accomplished
the
things
that
we
have
and
continue
to
accomplish
things
without
the
support
of
our
board
and
I'm.
AT
So
thankful
for
these
people,
who
are
standing
here
behind
us
to
give
us
that
support
and
family
members
I
appreciate
them
for
being
here.
I
want
to
say
that
I
had
an
opportunity
or
I
have
an
opportunity
that
I
could
only
dream
of
I
thank
God
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
be
a
third
of
what
he
created
first
and
that's
our
environment.
AT
So
every
day,
I
think
of
ways
to
try
to
make
our
individuals
to
understand
that
we
actually
created
pollution,
and
it's
important
for
us
to
be
the
solution
to
the
pollution
that
we've
created,
because
we
can't
live
without
clean
air,
good
water
and
vegetation,
and
so
I
love.
What
I
do
I
want
to
thank
karmic
of
Asya,
and
that
stands
the
wrong
for
hiring
me
almost
twenty
years
ago
and
I
wanted
to
take
this
job
and
do
a
good
job,
and
we
have
worked
in
every
sector
of
this
community.
AT
So
my
office
is
out
at
the
recycling
center,
but
my
work
is
out
in
the
field
and
I
thank
God
for
the
opportunity,
and
you
are
for
the
support.
I
want
to
say
that
Calvin
Smyre
I
always
say
that
if
you
see
a
turtle
on
a
fence,
you
know
that
he
didn't
get
there
by
himself.
So
and
if
you
see
a
turtle
crossing
the
road
to
make
it
cross
the
road
he
didn't
get
there
by
himself.
So
I've
been
crossing
the
road
and
trying
to
climb
the
fence.
AT
But
I've
had
a
lot
of
support
to
help
me,
and
so
we
appreciate
everything
that
we
have
done
and
everything
that
you
all
have
done
to
make
Columbus
what
it
is.
We
got
a
long
way
to
go
all
of
the
schools
support
that
we
have
all
the
individuals,
the
businesses
that
support
our
efforts.
We've
had
a
wonderful
time
working
with
them
and
I
want
to
continue
to
do
what
we
can
I'm
looking
forward
to
retirement
pretty
soon
and
so
I
want
you
all
to
know
that
I.
AT
T
H
T
AT
AT
That
starts
at
Williams
Road,
and
it
goes
all
the
way
up
to
85,
and
that
means
that
that
area
will
stay
in
its
natural
state.
It
won't
ever
be
destroyed,
and
so
we
could
not
have
done
that
without
their
help.
I've
had
so
many
many
many
people
who
have
worked
hard
with
us
to
make
sure
that
we
stayed
on
test
and
I
just
didn't
want
to
overlook
anyone.
AT
She
knows
that
she
can't
go
anywhere,
so
we
had
dr.
Billy
Kendall,
who
retired
from
the
Muscogee
County
School
District
and
he's
been
with
us
ever
since
I
have
been
here.
He
stays
on
the
board
and
always
chairs
our
annual
awards
luncheon
and
we're
looking
forward
to
having
that
on
the
9th
of
May,
where
we
are
going
to
recognize
individuals,
businesses,
organizations
for
their
stewardship
to
our
community
and
their
support
for
key
Columbus
beautiful.

day.
F
We
put
the
idea
together
handed
it
to
Michelle
on
the
streets
division
and
it
took
him
a
little
while
to
figure
about
what
I
wanted,
but
once
they
did,
they
have
created
an
event
that
is
really
really
look
forward
to
in
public
works
and
each
year
we
make
some
changes.
We
identify
safety
areas,
weakness
and
really
make
them
think
about
it.
F
So
they
come
back
train
to
the
next
year
to
make
sure
that
they
do
it
right
and
obviously,
with
the
number
of
people
we
have
on
the
streets
every
day,
the
opportunity
for
injury
can
be
really
really
significant.
We've
got
very
good
numbers,
and
the
part
of
that
is
because
we
put
this
kind
of
effort
and
team
building,
but
I'm
proud
to
tell
you.
It
is
a
