A
This
is
the
september
14th
city
council
meeting.
We
appreciate
your
presence.
I
will
tell
you
we're
having
a
little
bit
of
you.
Folks
will
never
know
it,
but
we're
having
a
little
bit
of
technical
difficulties
so
we're
beginning
the
meeting,
although
the
first
portion
will
not
be
streamed
live
so
we
as
soon
as
we
get
those
those
technical
issues
handled,
we
will
be
back
on
the
air
and
hopefully
they'll
be
able
to
trust
me.
They
they
rerun.
This
show
enough
where
you
will
see
more
than
you
wanted.
I
apologize.
A
B
B
A
Amen,
pastor,
burgess.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
joining
us
this
morning
and
please
thank
you
church
for
sharing
you
with
us,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
you
again
for
the
many
ways
that
the
the
your
church
gets
involved
in
the
community.
I
know
you
had
a
vaccination
clinic
at
your
church
that
I
was
privileged
to
attend
and
man
I'm
telling
you
you
guys
had
them
had
a
moving
through
there.
It
was
a
model
of
efficiency,
but
thank
you
for
what
you
do
for
the
citizens
of
columbus.
A
Counselor,
thank
you
councillor
house,
dr.
C
Burgess
good
morning,
I
just
wanted
to
say
it's
good
to
see
you
again
and
to
let
everyone
know
that
this
is
the
way
we
met
behind
a
mask
and
we've
been
behind
a
mass.
Since
I
met
you,
so
your
prayer
this
morning
is
right
on
point.
So
lord
deliver
us
from
what
we're
going
through
to
get
us
back
to
some
form
of
normality,
so
we
may
get
together
and
reach
out
and
help
each
other
again.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here.
C
A
You
counselor
all
right.
We
will
entertain
a
motion
to
prove
the
minutes.
Motion
from
the
mayor
pro
tem.
Second
from
councilor
house.
Are
there
any
edits
or
any
questions
about
the
minutes
from
august
31st,
council
meeting
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
The
minutes
are
approved
a
quick
update
on
cobit
19..
It's.
A
I
think
the
most
succinct
way
to
say
it
is
it's
still
here
and
doesn't
appear
to
be
going
anywhere.
It
is
exacting
more
carnage
than
than
initially
thought
it
would
and-
and
we
continue
to
monitor
the
numbers-
and
we
do
take
comfort
in
the
fact
that
the
numbers
tell
us
from
a
trend
perspective
that
we
have
plateaued.
A
But
from
the
very
beginning,
the
number
that
we
have
paid
the
closest
attention
to,
because
it's
the
one
that
represents
the
biggest
challenge
for
our
residents,
is
the
hospitalizations
that's
high.
We
are
again
plateaued,
but
at
a
level
that
is
really
stressing
and
stretching
the
capabilities
of
our
health
care
providers.
A
So
if
you
see
a
nurse
hug
them
and
tell
them
how
much
you
appreciate
what
they're
doing
and
again
when
we
talk
about
the
vaccines,
the
positive
news
in
this
is
that
our
daily
numbers
of
first
shots
new
shots,
going
up,
we're
we're
closer
to
400
a
day
and-
and
that's
that's
good
news-
it's
not
where
we
need
to
be
in
order
to
try
to
accelerate
us
getting
to
hurt
immunity,
but
it
is
getting
better.
A
So
again,
I
beg
you,
don't
listen
to
politicians
accept
when
we
suggest
you
check
with
your
doctor
talk
to
your
medical
provider.
You
already
trust
those
individuals
to
prescribe
medications
for
you
and
your
family.
Ask
them
if
you're
healthy
enough
to
get
the
shot.
I
pray
that
you
will
prayerfully
consider
doing
so,
because
that
is
the
primary
weapon
that
we
have
to
try
to
prevent
the
spread
and
the
and
the
and
the
deaths
of
some
of
the
folks
that
are
in
our
community
so
anyway,
be
vigilant.
A
Continue
to
wear
masks
when
you
cannot
socially
distance,
continue
to
pay
attention
to
your
personal
hygiene
and
and
and
tell
a
neighbor
that
the
vaccine
really
does
work.
A
All
right,
I
also
wanted
to
mention
too,
on
from
a
good
news
perspective.
We
are
in
the
middle
of
soliciting
our
community
for
people
who
are
interested
in
starting
a
career.
We
have
a
program
called
construction
ready,
which
is
a
very
intensive
four-week
program
that
people
will
go
to
for
during
those
four
weeks.
It
has
an
educational
component
and
it
also
has
a
practical
work
component.
A
The
end
of
four
weeks
they've
got
a
97
placement
rate
in
people
in
the
construction
industry.
We
had
nine
representatives
from
contractors
at
the
at
the
press,
release
in
in
the
and
they
all
stood
up
one
at
a
time
saying
that
they
need
people.
I
mean
they're
almost
to
the
point
where,
if
they
can
fog
a
mirror,
they're
going
to
give
them
a
shot
for
a
week
just
to
see
if
they
stick.
A
A
If
you
are
a
construction
firm
who
is
looking
for
employees,
go
to
the
same
website
constructionready.org.
They
also
have
a
portal
on
there
for
for
businesses
that
are
looking
for
people.
So
it's
a
it's
an
awesome
program,
it's
free
of
charge
and
it
can
unlock
the
door
for
a
lot
of
our
residents
that
are
looking
for
a
way
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
and
support
their
families.
A
All
right,
we've
got
another
couple
of
updates,
but
before
we
do
that,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
jump
down
a
little
bit
to
our
parks
and
recreation
division.
We
we
are
incredibly
fortunate
to
have
professional
employees
that
work
for
the
consolidated
government
and
who
are
recognized
among
their
peers
at
being
the
best
at
what
they
do.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
director
holly
browder,
just
to
come
up
for
just
a
quick
second,
I
just
wanted
to
let
the
public
know
what
our
folks
are
up
to.
A
They,
the
our
therapeutics
division
of
our
parks
and
recreation
department
was
a
recipient
of
the
2021
knack
pro
which
stan,
which
is
the
national
association
of
county
park
and
recreation
officials.
A
D
Good
morning,
thank
you,
as
the
mayor
said,
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
an
amazing
program
here
in
columbus
georgia.
Obviously,
when
kovid
changed
things
for
us
as
a
department,
we
need
to
get
very
creative
very
quickly.
We
have
amazing
staff.
We
have
brian
fisher
and
carolyn
evans,
who
were
in
therapeutics
at
the
time
when
this
began,
and
they
started
a
new
program
for
our
participants,
because
they're
used
to
being
on
our
facility
every
day
to
interaction,
the
social
skills
and
the
opportunities
that
exist
as
part
of
that.
D
They
produce
it
themselves.
They
do
all
the
interviews,
so
it's
very
interesting
to
go
out
and
see
that
and
see
the
take
on
how
they
interact
with
the
community,
but
it
did
give
us
the
opportunity
to
keep
them
engaged
during
the
time
in
which
we
were
closed,
unfortunately,
which
is
a
win-win
for
us
and
for
our
community,
so
we
feel
very
excited,
though,
to
have
been
the
recipient.
This
is
a
national
award
through
the
national
association
of
county
parks
and
recreation
officials.
So
we
put
our
folks
up
against
everybody
else.
A
Okay,
well
holly,
and
to
all
of
all
of
you,
y'all
have
done
an
incredible
job.
You
make
columbus,
very,
very
proud
and,
and
we're
just
you
know
it's
it.
It's
it
it's
so
refreshing
to
see
during
a
period
of
our
a
period
of
time
when
it's
been
as
difficult
as
it's
ever
been
for
people
to
do
regular
things.
A
Y'all
have
not
only
done
the
regular
things,
but
you
have
done
extraordinary
things,
and
so
we
thank
you
for
what
you've
done.
Thank
y'all
yeah.
We
do
what
now
yeah,
if
you
can,
they
share
their
names,
can
y'all
tell
us
if
you
would
come
up
to
the
microphone
and
tell
us
who
you
are.
F
E
A
A
And
she
was
busy
because
she
she's
also
the
president-elect
of
the
national
association
of
county
park
and
recreation
officials
for
2021,
and
she
is
the
incoming
president
of
the
georgia
park
and
recreation
association
grpa
for
2122
and
and
she's
also
been
selected
to
attend
the
2021
national
park
summit.
There's
only
40
recreation
department,
heads
in
the
country
that
are
invited
to
do
this
so
holly
hope
we
get
some
work
out
of
you
in
2010.
K
Mayor
I
I
wish
I
was
able
to
say
that
I'm
surprised,
but
I'm
not
you
know.
This
is
how
they
do
it.
K
They
are
recognized
by
those
at
the
state
level
and
at
the
national
level
and
they're
just
good
at
what
they
do,
and
so
I'm
not
surprised,
but
I
do
want
to
say.
Congratulations,
congratulations!
K
C
Councillor
high
director
browner,
congratulations.
You
often
mention
to
me
that
you
are
number
one
and
you're
very
proud
of
it.
You
teach
your
own
around
columbus
georgia
and
around
the
state
of
georgia
and
across
the
country.
C
C
I
enjoyed
attending
the
event
a
couple
years
ago
before
covet,
and
I
think
this
is
the
conversation
that
we
had
that
night
and
this
is
the
fruition
of
your
work
and
that
you
have
risen
to
the
top
and
that
we'll
be
hosting
again
soon.
Thank
you
for
all.
You
do
and
thank
you
to
all
your
staff.
L
Yes,
come
on,
thank
you
very
much
holly.
Thank
you
very
much
to
you
and
your
staff.
Thank
you
for
putting
us
on
the
map.
Thank
your
family
for
us
for
the
sacrifice
you
do
because,
day
or
night,
you're
with
us
doing
things
in
the
community
to
help
others
and
make
it
successful.
L
Your
children
are
right
by
your
side
and
your
husband,
because
you're
so
busy
always
and
sometimes
we
take
our
family
for
granted
and
they're
they're
they're
your
heroes,
because
they're
right
there
to
you.
So
please
thank
them
on
behalf
of
us
and
and
the
city
of
columbus
for
allowing
them
to
let
you
do
what
you
do
best
and
we
are
very
blessed
to
have
you
on
our
staff,
like
we
said
before,
we
don't
say
it
enough,
but
you
are
the
main
person.
I
can
call
you.
L
I
text
you
last
night
at
11,
30
and,
and
you
responded,
that's
who
holly
is
and
her
team
is
the
same
way.
You
need
something
and
absolutely
consular
huffle
is
correct.
You
never
say
no,
you
always
say.
Let
me
see
what
I
can
do
I'll
get
back
to
you
and
you
always
come
back
and
you
you
go
not
one.
You
don't
go
100
miles,
you
go
200
miles
for
the
citizens
and
for
us.
So
on
behalf
of
district
7
myself
and
my
family,
I
said:
congratulations
to
you
and
your
family.
We
do
appreciate
you.
M
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
add
my
public
thanks
anytime.
I
have
a
crazy
question.
Whatever
else
you
always
answer
quickly
and
you
do
great
work
for
the
city
and
all
your
staff
are
in
there
to
always
trying
to
help
everybody.
So
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
know
you're
going
to
continue
to
do
great
work
and
the
rest
of
your
staff
will

Thank

sir
coach
tucker.
F
I
want
to
say
congratulations
to
all
of
you.
I
actually
visited
pop
austin
recreation
center.
I
was
invited
by
miss
carolyn
evans
prior
to
kovia,
and
you
definitely
earned
a
earned.
This
reward.
This
award
just
a
great
staff,
very
caring
individuals.
I
absolutely
love
it
and
I
want
to
say
that
holly
knows
how
I
feel
about
her.
We
both
grew
up
in
parks
and
rec
here,
and
we
intersected
some
of
the
same
people
that
raised
me
raised
her
in
parts
and
wrecks.
N
Davis
thanks
mayor
holly,

for
all
you've
done
and
your

has
done.
You've

for
it's
obvious,
the
wonderful
things
that

and
recs

the
city
of
columbus,
very
noticeable.
N
You

I've
watched
you
over
the
years
and
your
determination
to
excel
and

be
a
leader
is
something
to
be
cherished.
Congratulations
on
that
just
outstanding
work
and
keep
up
the
good
work.
Thank

O
Holly,
I
can't
add
any
more
to
the
superlatives
that
you've
been
receiving
because
I'll
just
say:
ditto
diddle,
diddle,
dittle
ditto.
But
specifically,
I
want
to
thank
you
on
that.
The
regards
of
all
the
veterans
here
for
the
the
many
hours
that
we
spent
preparing
for
the
veterans
day
parade
a
lot
of
people,
don't
realize
that
we
start
in
july
for
november.
It's
a
lot
of
preparation.
O
It's
a
lot
of
work,
a
lot
of
contact
in
your
organizations,
schools
whatever
and
you
you're
just
marvelous,
so
on
top
of
all
the
other
superlatives
everyone's
giving
I'd
like
to.
Thank
you,
especially
for
the
the
men
and
women
who
wear
the
uniform
of
our
armed
forces
for
the
fantastic
job
that
you
and
everyone
in
parks
and
rex
do,
for
our
veterans
and
and
for
our
very
patriotic
city
on
our
veterans
day.
Great.
A
D
Just
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
Obviously,
I
have
an
amazing
staff
that
makes
my
job
a
whole
lot
easier,
and
so
it's
it's.
It's
easy
to
do
good
things
when
you
have
great
people
with
you,
and
so
we
have
an
amazing
staff
in
our
department
that
have
big
hearts
that
care
about
everyone
in
our
city.
D
It
doesn't
matter
what
it
is,
how
old
or
a
disability
or
anything
they
don't
care
it's
about
people,
it's
about
serving
those
who
we
surround
ourselves
with
every
day,
whether
their
neighbor
next
door
down
the
street
or
across
the
community
they're
still
our
neighbors
and
our
whole
department
feels
that
way
and
that's
just
how
we
operate
so
I'm
very
excited
to
stand
before
you
and
run
such
an
amazing
group
of
work
with
such
amazing
group
of
people
and
run
an
amazing
department.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
D
A
All
right,
pardon
me,
we
have
we've
had
an
issue
in
the
in
the
community
that
we've
been
working
with
really
our
partners
in
this
in
exide
battering
for
a
while,
and
they
are
here
this
morning
to
present
a
statement
to
the
to
the
community
and
I'd
like
to
invite
them
up
to
the
mr
city
manager.
E
E
K
Mr
manager,
if
I
may
so-
and
I
appreciate
you

from
moving
this
up
to
have
mr

inc
to

forward
and
and
and
the
reason
he's
here

You
you've
stated
that
many
of
us
know
that
exited
battery
operated
here
in
our
city
on
joy,
road
for
many
years
and
excite
battery

no

business
at
that
location.
K
He
pressed
us
to
make
sure
that
there
there's
absolutely
nothing
going
on
in
terms
of
contamination
or
health
or
life-threatening
concerns,
and
so
our
staff
have
worked
with
epd
epa
and-
and
so
we
have
mr
ken
hewlett
here
today
with
path
forward
consultant
inc
and
he
is
going
to
present
and
answer
all
of
your
questions
that
our
citizens,
your
constituents,
will
know
whether
and
there
is
contamination
or
any
health
or
life-threatening
concerns
they
should
have.
And
so
with
that
mr
hewlett.
P
P
I
have
a
short
presentation
to
summarize,
for
you
the
the
fact
sheet
that
we
provided
previously
that
followed
the
conversation
that
we
had
with
some
of
you
a
couple
of
months
ago.
So
we'll
start
here
with
a
little
bit
of
background
about
the
bankruptcy
and
the
trust
and,
and
why
we're
here
to
begin
with,
so
the
site
was
operated.
I
think
you
probably
know
this,
but
I
I'm
going
to
cover
it.
Anyway.
The
the
site
was
operated
from
1961
until
2020
as
a
lead
acid,
battery
manufacturing
and
distribution
facility.
P
They
also
did
some
lead
smelting
there
and
then
in
may
of
2020
exid
declared
bankruptcy
and
because
there
were
properties
within
the
excite
holdings
that
were
contaminated,
such
as
columbus.
P
This
got
the
department
of
u.s
department
of
justice
involved
epa
and
several
state
agencies
and
attorneys
general
got
together
to
create
a
trust
that
would
hold
these
contaminated
properties
and
some
funds
to
to
try
to
keep
those
properties
being
remediated.
Do
as
much
work
as
we
can
to
keep
them
as
safe
as
we
can,
and
so
the
exide
environmental
response
trust
became
effective.
P
On
october
23rd
of
last
year,
the
court
appointed
exide
environmental
response
corporation
as
the
trustee,
and
so
I'm
here
today,
as
a
representative
of
the
trustee
and
I'm
the
portfolio
manager
for
16,
of
the
the
exide
properties
that
were
placed
into
that
trust.
There
was
a
it
was
a
17th
property
that
path
forward
manages
it's
out
in
california,
but
it's
also
in
a
separate
trust,
and
it's
important
to
note
that
that
the
georgia
environmental
protection
division
is
not
only
a
beneficiary
of
this
trust.
It
is
also
the
lead
agency.
P
So
that
means
they
oversee
the
work
that
we
do.
They
review
our
work
plans,
they
review
our
budgets,
they
approve
the
work
and
we
have
bi-weekly
communications
with
them.
So
they
know,
what's
going
on
on
this
project,
a
little
bit
more
about
the
trust
and
our
responsibilities
and
obligations
at
the
top
of
the
list.
Here
we
are
not
affiliated
with
xi
technologies.
I
I'm
sure
all
of
you
know
that
I
will
tell
you
that
it's
been
a
challenge
with,
in
particular
vendors.
P
We
had
our
own
challenges
with
georgia
power
here.
Unfortunately,
sometimes
vendors
see
the
word
exide
and
they
say
well.
This
is
our
second
bite
at
the
apple
to
go,
get
those
bills
that
the
other
guys
didn't
pay.
So
we
had
a
fair
challenge:
convincing
georgia
power
that
we
are
not
exit
technologies
and
we
literally
cannot
pay
their
old
bills.
P
P
The
accounts
can
be
supplemented
if
we
can
manage
to
sell
some
assets,
which
we
have
done
a
little
bit,
but
for
the
most
part
that's
kind
of
challenging,
and
we
are
you
know
we
have
to
live
within
our
means,
we're
retirees
on
a
fixed
income
essentially,
and
then
the
trust
will
perform
work
on
the
site
until
those
funds
run
out
or
hopefully
we
can
sell
the
property.
P
Then
this
last
bullet
here
is
is
highlighted
because
it's
very
important
that
the
columbus
funds
are
limited
in
that
they
are
not
anywhere
near.
What
george
epd
believes
is
the
the
amount
required
to
fully
remediate
the
site.
So
that
means
that
the
trust
has
to
triage
the
facility
and
the
site's
needs.
We
can
you
know,
so
we
can
perform
work
that
we
feel
will
be
the
most
impactful
within
that
limited
budget
that
we
have.
P
So,
let's
talk
about
what
we've
done
so
far.
The
smartest
thing
we
did
was
contract
with
american
environmental
and
construction
services
to
provide
our
operations,
engineering
and
consulting
services.
They're
a
company
based
in
alpharetta
we've
got
full-time
staff
on
the
site,
helping
us
operate
the
site,
they've
got
office,
staff
and
engineers
helping
us
out
they've
been
inside
in
georgia
for
25
years,
and
they
do
magnificent
work.
They
are
they're
they're,
helping
the
trust,
saving
us.
You
know
every
day
they
do
great
work
here
with
me.
P
Today
is
the
the
president
of
the
company
roger
daniel,
their
project
manager,
carrie
williams
and
their
engineer.
Art,
picken
and
they've
got
a
great
team
and
the
trust
is
lucky
to
have
them.
P
We've
also
hired
rbc
wealth
management.
We
did
receive
12
million
dollars.
It
seems
like
a
lot
of
money,
it's
much
less
than
what
we
need,
but
it's
enough
that
we
have
to
take
good
care,
so
we
have
a
wealth
manager
doing
their
best
to
add
a
little
bit
of
interest
income
to
the
to
the
fund
so
that
we
can
stretch
those
trust
dollars.
As
long
as
we
possibly
can,
we
have
managed
to
do
a
little
bit
of
asset
sales.
P
I
that
the
picture
I
posted
here
is
is
a
nasty
piece
of
equipment
that
we
somehow
managed
to
sell
found
somebody
who'd
like
to
buy
it
we're
happy
to
offload
it.
We
would
have
to
pay
to
decontaminate
that
and
pay
somebody
to
throw
it
away,
but
we
got
somebody
to
give
us
some
money
for
it.
It
wasn't
a
lot,
but
you
know
every
little
bit
helps.
P
We've
also
managed
some
cost
savings
and
avoidance
aecs
has
done
a
great
job
of
optimizing.
Our
systems
on
site,
shutting
down
electric
circuits.
We
don't
need
our
very
large.
Electric
bills
are
now
much
more
manageable
and
we're
also
being
able
to
we're
also
been
able
to
remove
some
equipment
from
the
site.
Aecs
found
a
a
lead
smelter
who
wanted
a
bunch
of
really
horrible.
Looking
leads
melting
equipment
in
our
facility.
That
is
apparently
useful,
even
though
nobody
else
wanted
to
buy
it.
P
So
he's
hauling
that
stuff
off
right
now,
we've
sent
40
something
truckloads
off
the
site,
and
this
is
all
material
that
we
would
have
had
to
decontaminate,
decommission,
haul
off
and
pay
somebody
to
to
to
get
rid
of
it's.
It's
it's
going
away
for
free,
so
he
didn't
pay
us,
but
we
didn't
pay
anything
for
it
to
go
away.
It's
a
great
deal
for
the
trust,
a
little
more
on
on
on
trust
accomplishments
in
columbus.
This
is
wastewater
and
groundwater
treatments.
P
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
I'll
get
a
lot
of
rain
here
and
when,
when,
when
water
hits
the
ground
or
a
horizontal
surface
on
this
site,
if
it
gets
lead-
and
it
does
on
most
of
our
property
because
there's
a
lot
of
lead-
we
have
to
treat
it
before
it
can
leave
the
site.
So
in
the
last
not
even
a
year
now,
we've
treated
38
million,
gallons
of
storm
water
and
and
actually
wastewater
water
without
any
exceedances
of
our
permitted
regulatory
standards.
That's
a
terrific
accomplishment.
P
It's
a
lot
of
water
and
even
on
top
of
that,
aecs
designed
a
system
to
divert
water,
clean
water
that
was
off
the
site
and
running
onto
our
site
and
having
to
cause
us
to
to
treat
more
water
than
we
really
needed
to
so
they've
managed
to
get
that
water.
Keep
that
water
off
the
site
and
that
saved
the
trust,
a
great
deal
of
money
not
having
to
treat
that
and
then
they
they
have
to
do.
Okay,
it's
all
their
old
systems,
so
they
are
making
repairs
all
the
time.
P
We
performed
a
preliminary
evaluation
using
a
computer
model
that
predicts
the
risk
associated
with
vapors,
potentially
moving
from
impacted
groundwater
up
into
a
structure
at
ground
level.
We
used
a
a
model
called
the
john
johnson,
an
edinger
model.
This
is
a
an
epa
recommended
model.
They
have
a
spreadsheet
on
an
epa
website
that
we
can
enter
certain
amounts
of
data
into
it
comes
with
default
data,
but
we
have
site-specific
data
so
that
we
can
have
more
confidence
in
the
results
that
we
got.
P
I
just
there
are
a
handful
of
examples
of
the
kinds
of
data
that
we
have
for
this
site:
groundwater
temperature
depth
of
the
groundwater,
and
the
upshot
of
all
this
is
that
we
got
a
very
favorable
result.
From
the
run
of
this.
This
study
we
provided
a
draft
report
to
epd
and
the
draft
was
provided
to
the
city
as
well,
and
the
possibility
of
vapor
intrusion
in
local
structures
is
very
low.
P
Based
on
the
fact
that
groundwater
depth
is
quite
deep
and
the
soils
beneath
the
site
are
very
low,
they're,
very
low
permeability,
it's
a
small
grain
size
and
it's
it's
difficult
for
vapors
to
travel
through
that
soil.
P
So
this
report
is
subject
to
epa
approval.
Epd
approval.
Pardon
me
they
have
provided
some
comments
to
us
that
do
not
dispute
our
conclusion,
but
they
would
like
us
to
beef
up
the
the
data
and
the
support.
So
they've
asked
us
to
do
a
little
bit
more
work.
We
are
doing
that
now
and
when
that's
done,
we'll
we'll
prevent
present
a
final
report
to
epd
and
upon
their
review
and
approval,
we'll
send
that
report
to
you
as
well.
P
So
some
of
the
work
we're
doing
right
now
on
the
site,
we're
dismantling
decontaminating
and
removing
contaminated
bag
houses
and
ducting
and
the
associated
stacks.
You
can
see
some
of
those
right
there
in
the
shot,
as
I
said,
we're
removing
some
lead,
smelting
equipment
and
we've
been
investigating
the
source
of
the
volatile
organic
compounds
in
groundwater
that
we
just
discussed
a
moment
ago
about
the
in
the
vapor
intrusion
study.
But
it's
important,
I
think,
for
a
moment
to
talk
about
groundwater.
P
Just
I
want
you
all
to
understand
that
groundwater
underneath
the
site
is
not
being
consumed.
There
are
no
groundwater
wells
within
three
miles
of
the
site,
so
this
is
not
water
that
anybody
is
drinking.
Obviously
you
don't
like
it
in
the
condition
it
is,
but
it's
important
to
understand
that
okay
work
we
have
coming
up.
This
is
plans
we
right
now
are
are
completing
for
submittal
to
epd.
We
expect
to
do
this
work
over
the
next
few
months
and
finish
it
in
late
this
year,
early
next
year.
P
This
is
going
after
the
the
main
source
of
lead
on
this
site.
We're
going
to
do
that
by
demolishing
one
of
the
buildings
building
two
we're
going
to
decontaminate,
building
one
and
then
we're
going
to
restore
the
site.
So
this
means
we're
going
to
be
doing
asbestos
abatement,
waste
and
equipment,
removal,
we're
going
to
restore
the
site
back
to
grade
and
then
we're
going
to
clean
and
or
seal
as
many
of
the
horizontal
surfaces
as
we
can
so
that
we
don't
have
to
treat
as
much
storm
water
as
we've
been
treating.
P
We
can
again
stretch
out
those
trust
dollars
by
reducing
our
our
treatment
costs
and
get
this
site
in
a
little
bit
more
control
for
us.
So
that
is
that's
the
end
of
the
presentation
and
I
know
there
may
be
some
questions
and
discussion.
I'd
be
happy
to
chat.
K
Same
andrew
did
well,
mr
mayor,
so
because
you
know
you
obviously
asked,
and
you
were
proactive-
you
were
members
of
council
and
wanted
us
to
make
sure
that
we
have
answers
for
district,
that
district
and
for
this
community.
K
You
can
see
that
we've
we've
got
mr
ken
hewlett
here
and
and
an
entire
team
of
people
to
answer
any
questions,
but
we've
heard
from
him
about
the
groundwater
and
their
boots
on
the
ground,
they're
doing
everything
that
they
need
to
do:
epd,
environmental
protection,
division
and
epa,
environmental
protection
agency,
mr
hewlett
and
others
all
are
involved
to
to
make
sure
and-
and
we
feel
good
about
the
report
that
we
are
getting
and
you
heard
him
saying
that
he
they
send
their
reports
to
epd,
yes,
sir,
and
and
then
they
scrutinize
it.
K
So
I
want
you
to
know
that
you
know
everything
is
happening
as
you
want
it
to
see
happen
to
make
sure
that
our
citizens
are
safe.
There
are
no
concerns,
there
are
no
contaminations,
there
are
no
worries,
and-
and
that
is
exactly
what
we've
done
and
that's
what
we
know
today
and
they
are
here
to
answer
any
specific
questions
that
you
have
thanks.
C
Mr
ewing,
I'm
bruce
huff
city
manager
mentioned
I'm
the
district
person
there.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
taking
time
to
reach
back
out
to
us,
and,
let
me
know,
what's
going
on,
I
spoke
with
city
manager
in
the
beginning
about
the
major
major
concern
was
any
vapers
that
you
mentioned.
That
would
be
escaping
that
facility
into
the
neighborhood
area
and
any
of
that
groundwater
that
would
seep
over
into
the
neighborhood
is
that
possible?
P
Yeah,
so
I
mean,
and
that's
what
that
vapor
intrusion
study
was
doing
was
essentially
saying,
okay,
so
with
the
the
conditions
in
that
groundwater
that
are
under
structures
around
the
site,
what
is
the
possibility
of
vapors
coming
up
from
groundwater
and
into
homes?
And
the
answer
is
it's-
the
possibility
is
very,
very
low
that
the
the
risk
is
below
the
the
risk
levels
that
the
the
state
sets.
C
Okay,
because
I
had
some
citizens
years
ago
that
were
working
in
the
yard
and
for
some
reason
they
became
dizzy
and
did
not
know
why
and
that's
how
this
came
up
with
me.
Speaking
with
the
city
manager,
they
were
concerned
that
there
were
vapers
in
the
air
some
some
time
back,
that
they
were
not
aware
of
and
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
safe.
C
I
was
out,
there's
there's
a
a
set
of
houses
around
it
and
there's
a
trailer
park
around
there,
and
I
was
out
at
the
trailer
park
for
a
meeting
last
week
and
the
same
concerns
so
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
safe
for
the
neighbors
and
as
far
as
the
cleanup
in
the
future,
it
seems
like
you're
on
task.
As
far
as
what
you're
trying
to
get
accomplished,
I
know
how
complicated
it
is.
C
So
I
get
with
the
city
manager
to
get
me
into
the
weeds
to
help
me
figure
out
when
to
stop
talking
and
understand
that
the
people
are
safe.
P
P
So
I
you
know
I
this
vapor
intrusion
study
is,
I
mean
it's
still,
it's
a
model
of
of
the
the
conditions
that
are
out
there
right
now
and
we're
very
comfortable
with
the
results.
You
know
there
are
risk
levels
that
are
established
by
the
state
where,
if
those
numbers
are
exceeded,
if
they're
met
or
exceeded,
we
get
worried
and
the
state
would
would
call
for
action
to
be
taken.
P
Well,
the
numbers
we
have
out
there
are
well
below
almost
a
couple
of
orders
of
magnitude
below
the
risk
levels
that
the
state
deems
worthy
of
concern.
So
I
I
think
that
I
could
say
comfortably
that
the
the
analysis
we've
performed
shows
that
the
risk
is
is
well
below
the
level.
The
state
thinks
is
one
of
concern
and.
K
And-
and
I
will
say-
and
I
know
that
we've
got
engineers
our
engineers
here,
but
when
there
is
an
issue
where
something
exceeds
the
limit
that
is,
has
been
established
by
iepd
epa,
they
come
see
us,
you
know,
okay
and-
and
they
haven't
been
to
see
us
so
to
his
point-
that
it's
below
a
limit
that
would
would
have
them
dispatch
from
their
office
to
come.
See
us
okay,.
A
Thank
you,
you
know
just
to
to
make
sure
I
understand
we
are
waiting,
because
this
is
going
to
be
submitted
to
the
epd
and
then
the
epd
will
put
their
stamp
on
it
after
you've
completed
the
additional
data
retrieval
that
they've
asked
for
and
at
that
point
in
time
we
will
get
a
a
statement
that
has
been
kind
of
blessed
by
the
epd
as
well.
Yes,
sir,
okay,
all
right,
councilor,
woodson,.
L
L
If
something
should
come
up
and
citizens
had
some
questions
or
concerns,
will
there
be
a
contact
number
provided
to
the
citizens
and
my
reason
for
saying
that
in
oakland
park
for
years
we
have
this
black
sith
that
comes
through
the
air.
Epta
has
been
involved,
the
city
has
and
and
supposedly
they
stopped,
but
it's
come
back,
but
it's
been
so
hard
for
the
citizens
to
get
back
with
that
company
because
it's
coming
across
the
water
right,
our
boring
sister
alabama
phoenix
city.
L
L
You
know
we
can't
help
them
it's
up
to
the
citizens,
so
they
need
a
point
of
contact
or
something
for
the
future
because
we're
we're
suffering
in
oakland
park
and
we
can't
get
no
help
and
that
stud
is
still
there.
I
collect
the
tissue
with
all
the
black
sauce
on
it
and
I
have
it
in
my
kitchen
right
now.
You
know
that
paper
and
it's
like
knocking
on
a
brick
wall
trying
to
get
some
help.
K
What
I
would
my
preference
is
that
we
know
what's
going
on:
we,
the
administration,
if
there
are
questions
from
citizens
and
so
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge,
is
the
person
who
is
handling
this
dealing
directly
with
epd
and
consultants,
and
so,
if
they
would,
if
they
contact
you,
then
you
should
refer
to
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge,
and
but
they
can
call
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge
at
706.
K
And
I
was
the
reason
I
looked
back.
I
know
her
direct
line.
I
was
trying
to
avoid
giving
her
direct
line,
but
she
wants
you
to
have
a
direct
land
so,
but
but
if
they
call
her,
then
we
will
know
all
of
the
concerns
or
if
there
are
multiple
concerns,
then
we're
dealing
with
who
we
need
to
deal
with
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
it
or
get
an
answer.
So
so
I
would
ask
that
be
coordinated
through
my
office
through
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge
at
706-225-40426-706-225-4206.
L
Thank
you
very
much
and,
and
I'm
not
being
negative,
I'm
just
being
responsive,
because
I
know
I
know
what
happens
later,
I'm
living
it
so
I
know
exactly,
and
I
know
that
counselor
huff
will
get
those
phone
calls
and
then
people
upset
and
who
does
he
turn
to
so
that
is
my
reason
for
it.
So
thank
you
very
much
city
manager.
As
always,
we
can
depend
on
you
to
help
us
and
to
yourself,
sir,
thank
you
for
respecting
our
community
and
our
wishes
and
being
here
for
to
speak
to
us
today.
You're
welcome.
N
P
P
P
Q
P
Engaged
with
some
potential
developers
who
are
interested
in
purchasing
the
property,
but
they
want
to
see
how
far
we
can
get
the
remediation
and
then
hopefully
they'll
take
that
on.
I
we
think
that
this
effort
that
I
described
today
in
demolishing
the
one
building
and
decontaminating
the
other
building
sealing
the
surfaces.
We
think
that's
going
to
get
us
much
further,
much
closer
to
a
sale
of
the
property.
We
hope
so.
F
Yes,
to
add
on
to
what
councilor
woodson
was
mentioning,
can
we
come
up
with
a
succession
plan
and-
and
I
think
you
know
she
made
a
comment
about
having
somebody
to
contact
you
know
far
as
the
citizens.
J
F
Have
a
succession
plan
that
goes
beyond
this
that
we're
we're
actually
talking
about
for
the
years
for
the
future
and
how
we're
going
to
address
it,
because
if
she's
saying
I
don't
know
how
many
years
that
she's
been
dealing
with
the
issue
she's
had
and
councillor
woods
has
been
on
council
for
27
years.
That's
longevity!
K
K
K
K
Issues
well,
let
me
just
say
that
when
you
all
expressed
concern
concern,
we
didn't
just
rely
on
our
internal
staff.
We
went
to
an
engineering
expert,
and
so
we
are
being
guided
by
our
outside
engineering
consultants
and
and
we
will
continue
to
monitor,
and
so
so
so
that
you
know
that
we
are
using
our
own
engineering
experts.
K
N
There
we
go
yeah
to
the
com
to
the
subject
the
right.
Now,
the
trust
is
the
rightful
fiduciary
of
the
property
to
I
guess
through
the
courts
they've.
Given
you
the
responsibility
to
clean
up
the
land.
Do
everything
that
you
need
to
do
for
remediation
from
an
environmental
standpoint,
but
then
they
also
give
you
the
responsibility
to
market
and
sell
the
property
funds
go
into
the
well
all
the
proceeds,
I
guess
would
go
into
the
fund
or
the
trust.
N
I
don't
know,
what's
done
with
it
after
that,
but
I
guess
it
goes
to
clean
up
all
these
sites
across
the
country.
But
after
that
I
mean
really
what
we're
talking
about.
It
becomes
a
legal
issue
and
you're
the
rightful
seller
of
the
property,
and
then
it's
a
zoning
matter.
I
don't
know
what
the
property's
owned
currently,
but
it
becomes
a
private
property
legal
matter,
and
I
mean
what
I'm
hearing
the
city
doesn't
really
have
any
any
responsibility
or
any
ownership
or
decision-making
in
the
process.
Am
I
right.
P
So
I
think
so
we
we
own
the
property.
So
if
we
sell
the
property
we
won't
be
able
to,
we
will
have
to
get
epd's
approval
of
that
sale,
and
that
means
that
any
buyer
of
the
property
is
going
to
have
to
agree
to
perform
the
remediation
that
epd
deems
necessary.
So
that's
that's.
I
think
the
succession
plan
that
works
best
we
sell
it
to
a
responsible
buyer
who
takes
ownership
and
and
care,
takes
that
property
into
our
mediated
state.
K
Yeah
and
and
mayor
you
know,
and
council
davis.
I
think
I
mean
you're
right.
We
are.
We
are
just
we're
being
good
stewards
by
watching
over
what
they're
doing
and
taking
care
of
the
any
concerns
of
our
citizens.
K
So,
but
we
don't
control
the
property,
it's
a
bankruptcy
deal,
and
I
you
know
our
own
responsibility
is
to
be
an
ombudsman
and
make
sure
they
do
it
right
and
that's
why
we
have
an
outside
environmental,
consulting,
firm
and
and
I'm
sure
someone
will
come
along
and
purchase
it
and
I
hate
to
even
bring
up
you
know
when
we
acquired
the
tank
farm
as
an
example.
A
They
have
ascertained
through
their
tests
that
there
is
it's
in
the
numbers
they
showed
us
are
a
fraction
of
what
is
considered
acceptable.
It
is
well
well
below
that,
and
that
was
our
first
concern
and
and
to
their
credit,
it
was
their
first
concern
is
what
were
the?
What
were
the
contamination
impacts
on
the
surrounding
areas,
because
it
affects
our
residents
and
affects
their
ability
to
dispose
of
the
property.
A
K
Questions,
thank
you,
sir,
and
thank
you
to
the
team
that
came
down.
K
P
A
All
right-
and
I
think
that
we're
going
to
call
up
one
more
item
off
the
city
manager's
agenda
and
the
reason
is
we've
you've
noticed.
We've
got
some
of
our
public
safety
personnel
in
in
the
council,
chambers
sheriff
police
chief,
our
chief
of
fire
and
ems
and
and
some
of
their
support
staff.
A
and
and
and
councilor
allen,
and
I
were
talking
because
in
2001
that
was
a
tuesday
and
we
were
in
a
council
meeting
on
the
plaza
level
of
the
government
center
and
we
had
been
told
actually
before
we
went
into
council
that
a
plane
had
flown
into
one
of
the
towers
of
the
world
trade
center.
And
I
think
I
can't
speak
for
everybody.
But
I
thought
man
that's
a
tragic
accident.
A
You
know
some
small
passenger
plane
had
a
medical
issue
or
a
mechanical
issue,
but
once
we
got
into
council
meeting
it
was
just
a
matter
of
minutes.
Before
j
ed
wilson
came
and
gave
then
mayor
pro
tem
jack
rogers.
A
note
because
mayor
bobby
peters
was
absent
that
day
and
and
notified
us
and
then
and
the
mayor
pro
tem
notified
council
and
those
watching
that
our
country
was
under
siege.
For
the
first
time
a
war
had
come
to
our
shores
and
we
had
been
attacked
and
then
towards
the
end
of
the
meeting.
A
As
did
I
know
the
city
manager.
I
saw
him
in
a
couple
of
them
and
it
it
became
apparent
to
me
that
the
message
that
needs
to
be
conveyed
to
these
future
generations
is
not
so
much
I'm.
Certainly
you
have
to
tell
the
story
of
what
happened
that
day,
but
I
think
the
reaction
of
our
country
and
the
people
in
our
country
after
that
day
is
what
really
needs
to
be
conveyed
to
these
young
people.
A
Many
of
them
knew
going
in
that
they
weren't
coming
out
and
they
went
in
anyway
and
they
went
in
for
one
reason:
that's
because
they
have
a
an
innate
desire
to
fulfill
their
duty
to
protect
the
people
that
they
work
for,
and
that's
our
that
with
the
fire
and
first
responders
and
our
law
enforcement
single
biggest
loss
for
fire
departments
over
300
individuals.
I
think
it
was
the
single
biggest
for
police
as
well
at
almost
80
individuals
that
died
on
that
day.
A
So
what
we
hope
the
future
generations
take
from
this
is
how
much
power
this
country
has
when
everybody
pulls
together,
we
have.
The
only
word
I
can
come
up
with
is
patriotism
the
patriotism
that
exuded
every
pore
of
every
individual
in
this
country
in
the
weeks
and
months
and
really
years
following.
A
Hopefully,
some
of
the
patriotism
that
they
saw
in
looking
at
those
document,
documentaries
and
those
those
television
shows
they'll,
begin
to
understand
that,
no
matter
what
we
look
like,
no
matter
how
old
we
are
no
matter
what
gender
we
are,
no
matter
where
we
live
no
matter
the
socioeconomic
status
at
our
core.
We
are
god's
children
and
we
are
americans
and
it's
significantly
important
that
we
keep
that
fact
in
mind
and
that
we
share
that
with
these
young
people
coming
up.
A
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
comments
because,
with
the
arp
money
that
we
have
been
talking
about
and
the
city
managers
asked
that
we
bring
that
up,
there's
a
there's,
a
a
pretty
significant
amount
that
we
are
putting
towards
public
safety
and
it's
it's
it's
it's
emblematic.
I
think
of
this
council's
desire
to
do
everything
we
can
fiscally
to
to
try
to
support
the
men
and
the
women
that
that
wear
the
uniforms
and
protect
our
our
community.
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
for
allowing
us
to
bring
this
up,
and
I
do
see
all
of
your
public
safety
officials,
our
public
safety
officials
here,
but
it
was
at
the
last
meeting
that
the
chief
of
columbus
fire
scarper
made
a
presentation
and
he
shared
with
you
his
the
needs
of
columbus
fire,
umass
and
and
his
concerns
for
equipment
and,
amongst
other
things,
and
our
police
chief
freddie
blackman
was
here
also,
and
he
talked
about
cadet
program
and
amongst
other
things
and
and
so,
but
when
sal
scarper
was
done
and
he
says
I
need
this.
K
You
know
I
don't
know
who
asked
that
question
in
the
mirror
since
the
14th,
so
we
had
to
go
to
work
and
put
all
this
together,
because
your
boss
says
the
14th
you
know,
and
so,
and
so
here
we
are
on
the
14th
in
mayor,
based
on
your
commitment,
14th,
that
we're
going
to
present
this
information
and
we've
got
some
things
on
the
agenda
for
you,
vote
and
consideration
as
part
of
the
packet
that
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge
is
going
to
present.
So
with
that
deputy
manager,
pam,
hodge
and.
K
A
Then
yes,
sir,
before
you
get
started,
councillor
woodson.
L
Well,
I
just
want
to
apologize
to
staffing
you
I
said
that
was
me
who
asked
when?
Is
it
coming
back,
because
once
the
fire
chief
made
his
presentation,
it
was
very
shocking
to
see
and
for
us
to
have
one
of
our
public
safeties
to
be.
You
know
injured.
It
was
very
concerned,
but
I
didn't
really
think
you
would
make
it
happen.
Mayor
you're,
outstanding.
J
L
L
R
Good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
our
team
has
worked
really
hard
to
put
this
together.
I
was
emailing
the
city
manager,
the
hr
director,
the
finance
director
all
last
night.
Everybody
responds
back,
so
I'm
not
the
only
one
that
was
working
late
last
night.
So
we
put
this
package
together
to
respond
to
what
we
heard
from
the
mayor
and
council
from
the
presentations
that
were
made
and
so
we'll
go
through
the
presentation.
It
does
relate
to
public
safety
and
also
the
arp.
R
There's
been
a
lot
of
changes
that
have
been
approved
by
city
council
for
pay
pay,
reform
for
the
police
for
years
of
service
started
in
fy
16,
we
went
into
fy
17,
with
a
step
adjustment
moving
that
minimum
pay
up
depending
on
your
education
share
of
pay.
Reform
came
right
after
that
with
years
of
service,
and
that
was
the
chart
that
for
different
years
of
increment
service,
you
received
an
addition
to
your
pay.
That
was
for
the
sheriff
and
fy18
pay
reform.
R
There
was
another
adjustment
in
fy
20
for
the
police
department,
the
sheriff's
department,
adjustment
and
fy21
part
of
the
budget
for
this
fiscal
year.
Fy
22
was
the
addition
of
two
thousand
dollars
for
the
police
department,
the
fire
and
ems
pay
reform
was
included
in
fy
22,
as
well
as
specialty
training
incentive
and
mcp
pay
reform.
So
all
of
these
things
have
happened
since
fy16
as
we
move
forward
with
public
safety
and
the
importance
of
public
safety.
R
There
were
pay
adjustments
and
bonuses,
not
just
for
public
safety,
but
for
all
employees
from
2012
to
2022.
There
was
a
pay
adjustment,
totaling
17
and
a
half
percent
a
two
percent.
We
did
a
payroll
conversion
bonus
for
all
employees
in
fy
18,
given
it
gave
an
additional
time
off
in
fy
20
as
a
response
to
covid
fy
21.
There
was
actually
a
bonus
paid
for
covet
of
650
to
all
employees
included
in
this
year's
budget.
R
The
classification
and
compensation
study
of
325
000
that
rfp
will
be
out
next
month,
hoping
to
have
the
consultant
on
board
by
january
of
22
for
council's
recommendation
and
approval
into
2023,
so
we're
moving
that
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can
with
the
direction
from
the
city
manager.
R
Also
to
note,
during
this
time
period
there
has
been
no
insurance
premium
increase
for
the
sixth
year,
so
2022
will
be
the
sixth
year
of
no
premium
increases
as
long
as
you're
participant
in
the
wellness
program,
so
just
to
walk
through
and
I'll
go
through.
These
charts,
pretty
quick
but
a
comparison
of
2016.
R
Degrees
that
a
police
officer
has
has,
when
they
start
and
then
comparing
them
to
where
they
are
in
2021,
so
the
starting
police
officer
without
a
degree
at
36
891.
This
was
back
in
2016
all
the
way
up
to.
If
you
had
a
master's
degree,
forty
thousand
two
thirty
three,
where
they
are
in
2021
they're
at
forty
four
thousand
five,
eighty
three
and
then
at
the
bottom.
I've
shown
what
they
were
back
in
2016.
R
So
you
can
see
the
importance
that
the
council
has
made
in
public
safety
and
moving
those
starting
salaries
and
up
for
our
public
safety
departments
with
a
master's
degree
up
to
forty,
eight
thousand
from
forty
thousand
sheriff's
deputy
starting
pay
back
in
2016
36
891
up
to
the
40
000
with
a
master's
degree
where
they
are
in
2021
at
36,
oh
at
41,
719
and
45
181
for
a
correctional
officer
with
the
sheriff's
office,
starting
was
at
33
715
up
to
36
977
and
where
they
are
today
at
38,
088
up
to
41
460,
and
this
is
for
a
correctional
officer
with
the
sheriff's
office,
which
is
a
pay
grade.
R
S
Good
morning,
yes,
in
terms
of
the
correctional
officers
at
the
jail,
that's
where
they
are
primarily
working
their
grade,
12
and
yes,
they
do
have
some
of
the
duties
that
a
deputy
has,
but
a
deputy
is
more
con,
compares
more
to
a
police
officer,
they
are
sworn
and
they
go
off
their
sent
off.
They
have
to
get
a
certification.
You
have
to
be
certified
to
be
a
deputy
versus
the
correctional
officers
that
work
at
the
jail.
That's
why
the
difference
do.
S
K
R
So
for
fire,
ems
and
2016,
starting
at
their
pay
grade,
12
at
33,
000
of
no
I'm
sorry,
they're
a
pay
grade,
14.
14
up
to
master's
degree
at
40,
000
and
then
they're
at
2021,
they're
at
36
404
and
up
to
43
274.
R
R
So
you
can
see,
as
we've
moved
through
each
of
these
public
safety
agencies,
how
their
pay
has
been
adjusted
over
this
time
period
wanted
to
just
talk
a
few
minutes
about
the
public
safety
capital
that
has
been
spent
in
the
last
three
years
in
fy
19
over
a
million
dollars
and
fy
20
400
000
fiscal
year,
2.9
million
included
in
the
budget
for
fy
22
is
5.8
million.
R
Also
there
were
some
gma
leases
or
other
leases
that
were
done
in
fy19
for
30
police
cars,
1.1
almost
1.2
million
the
public
safety
radio
upgrade
almost
5
million
the
wireless
microwave
system,
almost
700
000,
an
fy
20
gma
lease
for
80
pursuit
vehicles
at
3.2
million.
So
over
this
time,
period
from
fy
19
through
fy
22,
over
20
million
dollars
of
public
safety
capital
has
been
spent
or
planned
as
we
move
into
fy
22..
R
So
the
immediate
support
request
that
came
from
the
fire
chief
at
the
last
council
meeting
what's
on
the
agenda
for
today
is
six
ambulances
out
of
the
arp
funds.
Also
on
the
agenda
today
is
the
purchase
of
property
adjacent
to
station
eight.
This
is
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
olaf's
public
safety
reserves.
R
This
is
addition
to
station
eight.
This
is
an
older
station
that
does
need
some
expansion,
the
property
next
door
was
for
sale
and
we
have
come
to
terms
with
them
on
that.
If
council
sees
to
make
that
approval,
also
on
the
agenda
is
the
upgrade
of
the
eoc
for
130
000.
50.
000
of
this
will
come
from
a
jima
grant,
but
you
can
see.
The
pictures
since
chance
corbett
has
been
in
place,
has
really
done
a
lot
of
work
on
the
eoc
before
it
was
rather
tight.
Only
a
few
people
could
be
around
that
table.
C
Counselor
just
a
quick
question:
what's
the
location
of
station
8,
that's.
R
For
the
future-
and
we
are
saying
30
to
45
days
as
we
finish
the
process
for
procurement
and
to
get
it
on
either
the
next
agenda
or
the
one
in
october,
one
ladder
truck
through
a
gma
lease.
We
currently
have
two
ambulances
that
are
on
a
five-year
lease
that
runs
out
this
year.
R
So
this
particular
lease
will
just
really
take
its
place
so
moving
forward
there
wouldn't
be
any
additional
budget
impact
for
a
10-year
lease
of
one
ladder
truck
and
then
also
five
engines
out
of
the
public
safety
o-loss
reserves
at
three,
almost
3.8
million.
So
this
will
be
on
future
council
agendas
in
the
next
few
weeks
for
the
police
department,
both
capital
and
their
reclassification
personnel
request.
R
What's
on
the
agenda
today
is
the
reclassification
of
20
police
officer
positions
for
the
expansion
of
their
cadet
program,
and
this
is
really
a
feeder
program
for
police
officers.
It's
not
doing
away
with
police
officers,
it's
really
providing
that
feeder
program.
They're
18
years
old,
can
get
into
this
cadet
program
and
they
would
be
ready
to
move
into
a
police
officer
role
in
a
few
years.
R
There's
also
a
career
ladder
implementation
that
the
chief
spoke
of
at
the
last
council
meeting
for
this
position
to
encourage
them
to
stay
with
the
police
department
and
move
into
those
police
officer
positions
also
we'll
be
coming
forward
along
with
this
program
is
359
000
of
uniforms
and
capital.
This
would
be
the
atvs
and
the
utvs
that
the
chief
discussed
at
the
last
meeting,
as
well
as
three
mid-sized
suvs
for
this
program
for
the
sheriff's
capital
needs.
R
You
know,
we've
had
many
conversations.
The
sheriff
has
reached
out
to
executive
management,
about
the
condition
of
the
jail
we've
all
taken,
a
tour
with
facilities
maintenance.
There
have
been
some
improvements
made
at
the
jail
of
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
over
the
last
several
years.
We've
made
improvements
to
the
kitchen,
the
shower
area.
We've
replaced
the
hvac
system.
R
The
laundry
piping
has
been
replaced.
The
water
heaters
have
been
replaced,
but
we
really
saw
the
need
for
a
full
assessment
of
the
jail,
and
so
that
is
what
will
be
coming
forward
on
a
future
meeting
to
do
a
full
jail
assessment.
What
improvements
need
to
be
made,
as
well
as
the
sheriff
administration
space
that
we've
been
speaking
with,
as
we
move
forward
with
doing
something
with
the
government
center
a
lot
of
the
sheriff's
administration?
That's
in
the
government
center
could
be
relocated
onto
the
jail
site
for
efficiency
in
the
sheriff's
office.
R
So
that
will
be
what
the
assessment
will
include
looking
at
the
master
plan
of
the
jail
site,
what
improvements
need
to
be
made
to
that
jail,
so
that
will
be
coming
forward
on
a
future
council
meeting
for
approval
so
moving
into
the
american
rescue
plan
and
how
that
relates
to
also
public
safety,
as
we
move
forward
with
the
recommendations
for
the
american
rescue
plan.
Again,
this
is
some
of
the
information
you
have
heard.
R
It
is
put
into
law
back
in
march
of
2021,
and
it
was
for
economic
relief
due
to
this
pandemic
that
we're
all
going
through
and
continue
to
go
through.
There
were
some
uses
of
funds
that
were
specified
in
the
american
rescue
plan
and
those
are
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
for
the
recommendations
that
we've
brought
forward
to
you
at
the
last
few
council
meetings.
Excuse.
A
Me
pam
council
crab.
F
In
reference
to
this
use
of
funds
after
we
attended
the
gma
conference,
we're
missing
one
category
and
that
is
to
address
negative
hold
on
I'm
sorry,
which
one
it
was
so.
F
R
I
think
that
is
part
of
the
negative
economic
impact,
and
that
is
the
like
small
business
loans
and
and
that
so
I
think
it's
part
of
that
category.
Maybe
they
had
it
broke
out
as
a
kind
of
a
sub
category,
but.
R
F
So
we
could
possibly
do
a
2.5
million
dollar
project
to
to
do
a
covet,
safe,
hvac
system
that
would
do
like
the
uv
lights
and
all
that
good
stuff.
I'm
just
throwing
out
things,
but
it
would.
It
would
go
under
that
category
of
including
that
that
that
category,
as
far
as
workers,
households,
small
businesses
and
impacted
industries.
R
Yes,
ma'am
and
so
part
of
what
the
county
and
the
city
as
a
consolidated
government
we
receive
both
those
city
and
county
allocations,
totaling
78
million
dollars.
Half
of
that
was
distributed
to
us
in
june
of
39
million
241.
R
So
again,
the
interim
final
rule
has
been
released
and
there
was
comment
period.
We
have
not
received
a
final
rule,
but
we
have
received
from
treasury
the
fact
that
we
can
operate
off
of
the
interim
final
rule.
If
something
changes
as
part
of
the
final
rule
that
we
have
already
moved
forward
with
as
part
of
the
interim
final
rule,
then
we
are
good
to
go
so
that
was
kind
of
our
signal
that
we're
ready
to
move
forward
with
our
recommendations
to
council.
R
Our
first
recommendation
is
the
replacement
of
the
garbage
collection
system
to
include
the
garbage
trucks
and
the
carts.
This
is
our
current
operation,
which
is
the
rear,
feed
garbage.
These
are
the
cans
that
citizens
use
throughout
our
community
and
these
trucks
do
we
do
have
the
inmates
on
the
back.
The
recommendation
is
to
go
forward
with
the
one-man
truck,
which
will
be
an
automation
process
and
also
to
make
all
of
the
trash
cans
throughout
columbus
the
same.
R
The
next,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
to
include
six
ambulances
at
2.1
million
as
part
of
the
arp.
Those
are
on
the
agenda
for
today.
R
Another
recommendation
is
the
community
safeguard
program
to
incur
include
the
cure
violence
summer,
youth
and
youth
development
programs,
as
well
as
the
cameras,
the
procurement
process
is
in
place
for
the
cameras.
You'll
have
an
update
today
from
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
on
where
we're
at
with
the
cameras,
so
we're
moving
forward
with
that
particular
program,
and
I
know
the
cure
violence
is
going
through
their
assessment
process
and
so
we'll
get
an
update
from
them
shortly.
R
The
broadband
cyber
security
upgrades
we're
going
through
the
procurement
process
for
this
particular
recommendation
as
well
revenue
recovery
at
3.5
million.
The
utilization
plan
on
how
those
funds,
as
they're
replenished
back
to
the
government,
will
be
used.
The
finance
director
is
working
on
that
plan
and
that
will
be
coming
forward
to
council
in
the
next
few
meetings.
R
The
small
business
grant
program
at
3
million
dollars
we're
working
on
that
application
process
now
so
we'll
be
coming
back
to
council
with
that
as
well,
premium
pay
for
public
safety
and
other
essential
employees.
I
will
go
through
that
in
more
detail.
In
just
a
few
minutes:
the
storm
water.
We
have
deferred
to
phase
two
of
the
arp
funding
because
we
heard
so
much
from
non-profits
and
tourists
and
economic
individuals
and
businesses
of
their
needs,
and
so
we
have
added
from
the
original
list.
R
The
one
million
dollars
for
nonprofit
grants
and
850
000
for
economic
and
tourism
grants
we're
working
on
that
application
process
as
well,
and
then
the
administration
of
two
hundred
thousand
just
over
two
hundred
thousand.
This
will
include
a
full-time
temporary
employee
for
up
to
three
years
during
the
time
that
this
arp
funding
is
in
place,
a
project
financial
analyst
and
then
other
oversight
expenditures.
T
Thank
you.
A
lot
of
the
items
that
are
on
this
list
are
also
items
that
we
were
addressing
with
the
splost
money,
and
so
I'm
wondering
are
we
adjusting
the
splost
ask
and
are
we
take?
Are
we
are
we
adjusting
that
because
we're
taking
we?
We
didn't
know
about
this,
and
so
some
of
the
things
are
being
taken
care
of
with
this.
So
can
we
or
are
we
thinking
of
adjusting
the
splost.
K
That
trash
trucks
is
not
in
the
sales.
E
T
T
T
Be
any
redundancy
there's
no
redundancy,
I
and
I
think
we
need
to.
I
think
we
need
to
let
the
citizens
know
sure.
K
T
J
T
And
that
we're
not
just
double
dipping.
K
Well
and
and
absolutely
we're-
and
maybe
we
need
to
clarify,
but
if
they're,
if
we,
if
we're,
if
the
overall
goal
is
to
do
14
and
we
do
six
out
of
arp
and
and
we're
going
to
do
the
the
difference
or,
let's
say
six
out
of
the
sales
tax,
as
amir
says,
there's
no
redundancy
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
are
clear
on
that.
It's
we're
not
duplicated,
but
because
the
money
came
in
39
million
now
and
39
million
later.
We
want
to
do
something
to
address
concerns
throughout
the
government
and
not
not.
T
Understand
that
I'm
just
I'm
just
honest,
I
just
want
to
see
how
this
may
affect
our
splash
task
and.
A
It
brings
up
a
great
point,
though,
because
we
we
we
do
need
to
just
make
sure
that
we've
got
it
very
cleanly
yes
outlined,
and
we
can
do
that
because
there
isn't
any
duplication.
I
mean
we're
very
careful
and
one
of
the
things
is
you
didn't
want
to
pull
too
much
4-1
for
lake
fire
out
of
out
of
let's
say
the
arp
money
and
you
didn't
want
to
pull
too
much
out
of
splost,
because
we
have
some
needs
that
we
can.
That
can
only
be
met
by
those
individual
financing
mechanisms,
so
they
were.
A
R
R
R
So
if
you
just
started
in
january
of
2021,
obviously
you
wouldn't
be
entitled
to
the
entire
3000,
so
it
would
be
six
months
time
periods.
If
you
were
hired
on
or
at
on
or
before
january
27th
of
2020,
then
you
would
be
entitled
to
all
three
of
these
increments
if
you
were
hired
on
or
after
july,
1
of
2020
only
2
000
of
the
total,
and
if
you
were
hired
on
or
after
january
1st
of
2021
your
premium
pay
would
be
a
thousand
dollars.
R
If
you
were
hired
after
july
1
of
2021,
then
you
would
not
be
entitled
to
this
premium
pay
that
is
being
recommended
for
a
total
of
three
thousand
dollars.
This
is
one
thousand
two
hundred
and
eighty
nine
employees
for
a
total
cost
of
four
million
four
hundred
and
sixty
seven
thousand,
so
that
is
the
premium
pay.
That's
recommended
out
of
the
arp
funds
that
is
on
this
list
for
today
also
pandemic
pay
for
all
essential
workers,
they're
all
those
that
don't
meet
the
premium
pay
as
defined
through
arp.
R
They
would
be
paid
through.
The
cares
act,
reserve
funds,
and
this
is
a
total
of
fifteen
hundred
dollars
to
all
those
employees
who
have
continued
to
serve
the
citizens
through
this
public
health
emergency.
So
it
would
be
again
the
same
increments,
but
at
five
hundred
dollar
increments,
as
opposed
to
one
thousand
dollar
increments.
This
is
a
total
of
eight
hundred
and
eighty
one
employees
for
a
total
of
one
million.
R
Four
hundred
and
eighty
eight
thousand
those
public
safety,
sworn
personnel
that
do
qualify
for
premium
pay
other
than
their
salary
exceeds
that
seventy
eight
thousand
they
would
still
be
entitled
to
the
three
thousand
dollars
as
all
other
public
safety
employees
are,
but
their
funding
would
come
through.
This
cares
act
reserve
funds
as
opposed
to
the
arp
funding,
so
they
are
still
going
to
be
treated
the
same
as
public
safety.
Employees.
R
There
is
also
state
fiscal
recovery
funds
that
application
deadline
is
october.
The
31st
the
award
is
expected
sometime
after
the
first
of
the
year,
and
they
have
put
out
an
application
for
two
specific
uses:
the
negative
economic
impacts,
as
well
as
investments
in
water
sewer
and
broadband
eligible
applicants.
Not
only
are
cities
and
counties
allowed
to
apply
for
these
funds,
but
also
trade
associations,
business
organizations
nonprofits.
So
we
have
also
tried
to
inform
as
many
non-profits
that
we
know
of
that.
This
funding
is
also
available
to
them
for
them
to
submit
their
application.
R
The
city
intends
to
make
application
in
three
areas.
One
is
storm
water,
as
it
relates
to
the
combined
sewer,
which
qualifies
also
our
broadband
infrastructure,
as
well
as
a
continued
expansion
of
the
small
business
grant
program.
So
we're
going
to
submit
those
three
applications
for
also
state
funds
to
couple
with
the
funds
that
we
have
received
as
well
mayor.
Q
K
K
L
I
The
current
application
that
we're
working
on
is
to
allow
for
all
public
safety
and
public
facing
buildings
to
get
up
to
what
is
called
high
speed
internet,
which
is
above
100
megabyte,
and
it
would
allow
for
public
wi-fi,
like
parts
direct
facilities
and
public
safety
facilities.
Like
that,
that's
the
current!
Now
we
will
expand
upon
that,
but
that's
currently
what
we're
working
on
and.
K
L
Yes,
scott,
just
a
quick
question
when
you
mention
the
nonprofit
organizations,
are
we
reaching
the
nonprofits
that
we're
aware
of
with
the
crime
prevention
program,
or
are
we
reaching
out
totally,
and
my
only
concern
is
because
there's
a
lot
of
small
non-profits
that
don't
interact
with
us
that
need
the
funding
that
need
the
help?
How
are
we
touching
them.
R
So
we
have
contacted
everyone
that
we
work
with
through
our
community
reinvestment
department,
some
that
have
attended
our
meetings
when
we
were
having
arp
meetings.
So
anyone
that
we
can
get
in
touch
with.
We
have
provided
the
link
to
this
application
process,
and
I
know
the
nonprofits
have
kind
of
a
network
that
they
utilize
and
I
know
that
they're
trying
to
also
inform,
but
anyone
that
you
know
of
that.
R
L
I
didn't
go
into
a
lot
of
details,
but
I
just
thought
about
it
when
you
mentioned
it,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
small
ones
like
that
that
don't
interact
with
other
people
they're
within
the
community
themselves
and
they're
the
ones
that
are
I'm
not
saying
the
others
are
not
making
an
impact
but
they're
making
a
severe
impact
because
it's
their
next
door
neighbor
and
the
next,
the
next
one
that
we
don't
know
about,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
take
advantage
of
this
also
to
be
entitled
to
some
of
this
money.
L
R
So,
just
back
to
kind
of
summarizing
the
public
safety
support
those
items
that
are
on
the
agenda
today,
but
just
to
outline
again,
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
in
this
area
in
the
past,
with
pay
reforms
and
supplements
incentive,
pay
improvements
at
the
jail
capital,
investment,
14.5
million,
and
again
that
no
increase
in
health
insurance,
which
obviously
impacts
all
employees
as
well
as
public
safety
present.
What's
on
the
agenda
today
is
the
six
ambulances
out
of
arp
the
eoc
upgrades
the
cadet
reclassifications.
R
The
5.8
million
is
part
of
the
budget
and
the
carryovers
for
this
fiscal
year
and
also
on
the
agenda
today
is
the
property
acquisition
for
station
8.
and
what
will
be
in
the
future
in
the
next
30
to
45
days,
we'll
have
the
ladder
truck
five
engines,
the
cadet
uniforms
and
equipment
that
jail
site,
master
plan
and
assessment
and
as
well
as
the
classification
and
compensation
study,
will
be
moving
forward
in
that
rfp
released
within
the
next
few
weeks.
A
Any
questions
of
any
of
our
public
safety
individuals
that
are
here,
councilor
barnes,
hang
on.
Let
me
get
you
I'd.
O
Like
to
make
a
comment,
I'm
glad
that
you,
prior
to
this
presentation
that
you
made
a
comment
that
you
did
for
the
most
part
in
this
community
in
columbus.
The
citizens
have
the
most
respect
and
confidence,
especially
during
this
pandemic
period.
I'd
like
to
give
an
example.
I
have
two
areas
in
my
district.
O
O
They
have
animals
running
wild
dogs,
running
wild,
there's
definite
in
the
open
drug
drug
activity,
and
so
the
citizens
reached
out
to
me
to
have,
because
I
told
them
you
they've,
got
to
the
the
citizens-
have
got
to
be
the
eyes
and
the
ears
of
our
public
safety,
so
they,
finally,
although
they
feel
intimidated,
now
they're
intimidated
by
the
drug
activity,
so
I
just
asked
and
when
they
said
they
wanted
a
neighborhood
watch.
I
said
the
one
weapon
you
have
is
a
neighborhood
watch,
so
they
asked
for
one.
O
So
I
called
major
right-
and
I
just
asked
for
a
major
right
and
her
administrative
staff
to
come
at
6,
10,
chief
freddie
blackman
and
his
entire
command
staff,
entire
command
staff
and
officers
came
and
they
walked
the
blocks
with
me.
They
sent
a
loud
message
to
the
criminal
element
that
the
public
safety
is
behind
to
me,
and
I
know
their
day
started
at
seven
to
me
that
reverberated
throughout
that
area
right
there,
not
only
that
but
miss
contrera,
there
were
dogs
running
wild.
She
collared
one
herself
a
pit
bull
how
she
did
it.
O
Be
honestly,
she
called
it
a
pit
bull
and
they
bought
that
also
special
enforcement
was
there
and
they
took
down
all
the
houses
where
there's
overgrown
yards
and
trash
all
over
the
place.
O
You
need
to
go
there
park
chester
drive,
you
need
to
go,
take
a
look
at
it
and
if
I
can
have
the
same
thing
done
at
at
the
other
area
that
we
spoke
about,
but
that
goes
to
show
you
the
level
of
commitment
and
and
the
columbus
community,
the
good
citizens,
the
majority
of
citizens
know
that
that
they
respect
and
they
honor
public
safety.
But
that's
just
an
example.
One
example
for
him,
the
chief
of
police
and
his
entire
command
staff
and
other
officers
walked
the
area
with
me.
O
So
I'm
really
glad
that
you
made
the
statement
that
you
were
just
reinforces
in
the
minds
of
the
majority
of
the
citizens,
just
how
dependent
and
how
fortunate
we
are
to
have
public
safety.
I
mean
the
the
police
force
priority.
Ms,
the
sheriff's
department.
All
those
agencies
are
behind
our
citizens
and
they
know
it.
But
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
make
that
report.
A
A
If
we
don't
know
what's
going
on,
and
these
men
and
women
are
committed
to
following
up
on
any
information
they
receive,
and
it
is
vital
that
the
communities
take
a
chance,
trust
the
officers
and
and
invite
them
out
there
get
them
involved
and
let
them
know
what's
going
on.
If
you
see
something
say
something
and
the
individuals
that
we
have
working
for
the
city,
public
safety
departments
will
will
act
on
it.
So,
thank
you,
sir.
K
Mr
mayor,
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
bring
that
item
up
on
my
agenda
and
let
me
just
say
that,
of
course,
two
meetings
ago
we
presented
the
arp
priority
list
and
we
it
was
following
three
public
meetings
that
were
televised
and
we
listened
to
the
people
who
were
present.
K
We
made
adjustments
in
that
arp
priority
list
and
you
saw
today
where
the
deputy
city
manager
reiterated
that
we
took
some
things
off
and
we
added
things
like
non-profit,
based
on
citizen
participation
at
those
meetings,
and
so
we
did
adjust
the
list
based
on
what
we
heard
from
citizens,
because
we
wanted
them
to
know
that
we
were
listening
and,
and
so
we've
put
together
this
package.
K
K
I
believe
it's
31
ford
explorers,
but
we
reached
out
to
public
safety
departments,
because
they've
been
waiting
on
pursuit
vehicles
that
we
can't
get
and
they
were
sitting
on
a
lot
and
they
said
you
know
we
need
to
get
these
vehicles
and
just
right
now
and-
and
you
see
in
other
communities,
some
ford
explorers
as
you
as
a
pursuit
vehicles
and
so
reached
out
to
public
safety
and
each
one
of
them
said:
yeah
get
those
vehicles
and
I
make
that
point
to
just
say
that
it
takes
time
to
get
buses
and
garbage
trucks
and
equipment,
because
we're
going
whether
it's
windows
or
doors
or
whatever,
and
so
there
and
fire
engines
ladder.
K
Whatever
it's
going
to
take
12
18
months.
It
may
take
longer
so
there's
an
urgency
of
now
to
to
move
forward
with
this
funding
priority.
So
we
can.
We
can
start
putting
getting
in
line
with
other
communities
who
are
trying
to
get
some
of
the
same
equipment
that
we're
getting
and
so
you've
heard.
The
presentation.
A
K
F
F
So
if
we
could
have
a
work
session
and
then
just
like
what
counselor
craig
was
talking
about
for
us
overlap
with
projects
to
make
sure
that
you
know
all
of
us
know
exactly
what's
what's
in
the
treasury,
and
that
was
the
main
reason
why
I
wanted
to
ensure
that
we
discuss
all
five
because,
with
the
support
public
health
expenditures,
it
has
behavioral
health
care
in
there
as
well,
and
we
know
that
we're
in
the
mental
health
crisis
so-
and
I
know
that
sheriff
countrymen
would
would
love
to
have
some
additional
assistance
in
that
in
that
jail,
because
most
of
those
individuals
that
are
in
the
jail
actually
have
mental
health
issues.
F
K
I
know
I
agree
and
what
we'll
do
even
leading
up
to
that
work
session,
we'll
solicit
from
each
of
you.
If
you
will
just
give
us
some
of
your
priorities,
things
that
you
would
like
us
to
include
so
that
you
know
we
know,
and
hopefully
you
will
have
many
of
the
same
priorities
and
then,
when
we
bring
it
together,
we
can
make
sure
that
we,
because
you
represent
your
constituencies
and
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
bringing
the
priorities
together.
K
K
That's
items
a
b
and
m
are
those
the
three
plus
that
the
property
acquisition
that's
on
my
agenda
so
that
they
don't
have
to
hang
around
to
and
go
to
work.
That's
number
five
on
my
agenda,
so
you've
approved
number
five,
a
b
and
m
on
the
agenda.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear
so
that
they
know.
L
Yes,
city
manager.
I
also
wanted
to
add
to
that
request.
I
know
that
there's
conversations
out
in
the
in
the
community-
okay,
we're
using
this
money
here,
that's
gonna
free
up.
You
know
some
money
in
our
budget
and
I'd
like
us
to
be
able
to
clarify
to
the
public.
Yes,
why
this
and
but
I
want
y'all
to
do
it
more
professionally
than
I
am,
but
that.
P
L
This
first
free
up
some
money,
but
that
does
not
account
for
all
the
other
needs
that
are
needed.
For
example,
I
know
in
public
safety
we
need
more
vehicles,
we
need
to
figure
out.
When
are
we
going
to
get
those
vehicles?
L
L
I
don't
want
our
city
employees
to
feel
that
we
focus
on
public
safety
and
forget
about
them
they're
just
important,
because
public
safety
needs
them
to
back
them
up,
so
they
can
do
their
job.
There
are
things
in
our
neighborhoods
that
might
seem
very
simple
and
small
to
anybody
else.
But
to
that
community
is
important.
We
need
more
arts
of
positive
in
our
in
our
community.
L
We
need
to
look
at
little
small
parks
and
be
self
taken.
Care
of,
or
companies
can
adopt.
We
need
covers
over
our
bus
stations
for
those
elderly
and
disabled
that
have
to
ride
a
bus
and
because
our
bus,
our
budge
bus
schedule,
isn't
as
frequent,
because
our
ridership
is
so
small.
L
We
had
a
presentation
here,
so
there's
so
much
that
just
because
we're
using
this
money
for
that
the
other
money
we
have
is
going
to
be
used
just
to
finish
up
what
we
need
in
our
community
and
it's
very,
very
important,
and
I
like
to
know
as
we
and
I've
always
said
that-
and
I've
always
gotten
excuses
for
it.
Well,
excuse
me,
I'm
not
going
to
say
excuses
I'll,
take
that
back,
but
I'm
always
given
a
reason
why
we
can't.
L
I
really
feel
that
you
know
when
we
have
these
hotel
motel
taxes,
or
we
have
all
these
other
hotel
all
these
other
taxes
that
we
do
if
we
could
just
take
a
small
portion
of
the
funding
that
we
get
and
put
it
for
maintenance.
L
You
know
the
public
safety,
I've
gotten
some
information
from
people
and
concerns,
but
I
just
want
us
to
look
at
it
as
an
overall
picture
and
let
our
constituents
know
because
they
hear
these
millions
of
dollars
and
they
hear
vehicles
and
they
hear
this
and
even
though
it's
important
it's
for
them,
they
don't
understand,
they
feel
they're
being
left
out.
Well,.
K
And
I
understand,
and-
and
I
guess
I
want
to
maybe
phrase
it
in
this
way-
we're
not
freeing
up
money,
we're
able
to
start
to
catch
up.
K
In
other
words,
you
know
we
can
buy,
we
could
buy
a
hundred
vehicles
right
now
for
cpd
with
this
money,
but
we
probably
need
350
vehicles
because
they've
probably
got
you
know
when
I
see
whenever
you
see
a
crown
vic
riding
around
whether
it's
a
sheriff
deputy
or
police
officer,
if
you
see
them
riding
in
a
crown
vic,
you
need
to
be
trying
to
get
them
out
of
that
crown
vic,
that's
an
old,
they
don't
even
make
them
anymore
and
we
still
have
them
riding
around.
In
crown,
vic's.
K
K
A
And
if
I
could
just
add
you,
you
touched
on
something
that
we
have
had
those
those
conversations,
and
I
know
the
finance
director
and
the
deputy
city
managers
and
the
city
manager.
And
I
have
talked
about
it.
And
we
continue
to
to
advance
the
notion
that
we
need
to
go
ahead
and
begin
to
start
to
set
aside
money.
Now
and
let
it.
A
Money,
because
all
these
things
that
we
are
able
to
purchase
right
now
they
have
a
lifespan
and
if
we
buy
them
all
around
the
same
time,
guess
what's
going
to
happen
all
around
the
same
time,
so
we've
talked
and
there
and
angelica
has
done
an
awesome
job
about
you
know
just
kind
of
and
how
we're
going
to
cover
all
that.
Do
we
do
some
with
leases.
We
do
some
with
purchase.
A
Put
some
money
aside.
Do
we
earmark
that
and
try
to
budget
for
it
every
year
so
that
you
feed
it
a
little
bit
more
so
that
when
you've
got
your
replacement
program
in
force,
when
you
come
around
in
five
to
six
years
and
that's
why
you
see
some
of
these
vehicles
for
fire
and
ems
and
the
police
department
and
even
general
government
being
staggered
it?
It
draws
out
the
pain
a
little
bit
to
wait
another
year,
but
it
also
creates
some
separation
between
when
that
replacement
has
to
take
place.
Well,.
L
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
because,
and
and
like
me,
I
didn't
realize
that
I
was
hurt
and
it's
being
done,
there
are
citizens
out
there
that
need
to
know
that
to
know
to
know
these
things
to
know,
they
are
we're
all
working
to
do.
Preparations
for
the
future
because
look
at
even
our
buildings
look
at
our
rec
centers.
Look
at
our
buildings.
Yeah
we
got.
We
got
to
come
up
with
a
with
us,
a
plan
for
the
future,
not
all
that
not
put
a
band-aid
on
it.
Yeah.
A
A
I
mean
we've
got
people
in
public
works
that
are
plumbers
that
are
electricians.
We
do
we
do
the
regular
maintenance,
like
you
would
on
your
house
every
single
month.
We
do
it
on
a
regular
basis,
but
what
happens
is
when
you've
got
buildings
in
your
house,
it's
25,
30
years
old,
guess
what
now
you
got
a
big
ticket
item
that
hits.
Those
are
the
things
that
typically,
you
have
to
either
borrow
money
or
if
you've
been
fortunate
enough,
you
could
set
some
aside
and
under
our
revenue
generation
structure.
A
L
I
think
too
it
I
think
too,
is
asking
our
constituents
to
help
us
to
you
know
if
they
see
somebody
just
join
a
bathroom
or
they
see
graffiti.
You
know
to
report
it
if
they
see
trash
out
on
the
ground.
You
know
you
just
finish
a
game
and
everybody
just
threw
their
trash.
Everybody
helped
clean
up
and
help
us
to
maintain
our
parks
and
and
our
facilities
better,
not
to
depend
always
on.
L
K
Well,
we're
going
to
still
have
that
need
and-
and
I
I'll
let
you
respond,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
whether
if
it
doesn't
pay
us
how
to
get
that
done,
because
they
still
need
a
dormitory.
R
Yeah,
this
is
an
older
station
again
built
in
the
60s
and
70s,
and
if
the
splash
doesn't
pass,
those
improvements
still
need
to
be
made.
It
probably
won't
be
made
at
the
same
time
period,
but
because
this
property
came
on
the
market,
it's
right
next
to
the
fire
station.
It
was
just
taking
advantage
of
that
opportunity.
E
And
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
and
their
brother
knows
that
I
am
in
favor
of
the
splash.
I
I'm
not
by
any
in
any
way
suggesting
that
this
not
happen.
I'm
just
concerned
that
I
know
that
this
was
originally
the
plan
and
I
want
us
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
backup
plan.
We've
talked
a
lot
today
about
backup
plans
and
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
backup
plan.
E
And
one
other
thing:
if
I
may,
to
councillor
woodson's
point
about
the
maintenance
we
have
talked
as
a
council
several
times
about
making
sure
that
on
our
legislative
agenda,
is
the
item
to
allow
us
to
spend
splash
money
as
maintenance.
Our.
I
think
our
citizens
don't
understand
that.
Don't
understand
that
we
can't
use
splash
money
to
maintain
the
pool.
E
N
Miss
city
manager-
if
I
I
wanted
to
add
some
comments
to
your
presentation
that
was
put
up
a
little
bit
earlier
and,
and
you
know
maybe
short
and
sweet,
maybe
short
and
spicy,
but
look
I
was
thrilled
to
hear
you
say
what
you
just
said:
you
were
spot
on.
N
You
used
the
words
ketchup
we're
trying
to
catch
up.
I
just
want
to
remind
council
that
you
know
a
lot
of
the
the
number
one,
the
city,
our
city
government,
our
city.
We
can't
be
a
cure-all
sabbath
for
every
matter.
Every
issue
every
request,
every
type
situation
in
in
the
community.
It's
just
not
going
to
work,
and
you
have
to
remem.
N
Remember
that
the
money
we're
talking
the
funds
we're
talking
about
here
are
one
time
and
it's
not
going
to
be
around
all
the
time
and
eventually
that
adrenaline
shot's
going
to
wear
off
and
somebody's
got
to
cover
all
those
costs.
Now,
at
the
same
time,
I
have
to
say
you
know
when
I
look
at
this.
We
are
increasing
our
budget.
N
We
are
increasing
our
budget
and
just
a
reminder.
This
economy,
our
country,
goes
and
cycles
all
the
time
economically
and
we've
had
some
good
years
and
we've
caught
up
and
we've
seen
some
good
things
happen,
but
that
could
change
on
a
dime
and
we've
always
talked
about
the
priorities
of
our
government,
the
priorities
and
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
N
If
you
don't
do
it
now,
then
it's
going
to
stress
your
budget
even
more
when
this
short
period
is
over
with,
and
I
hope
that
we
understand
that
there's
opportunity
to
solve
some
of
those
matters
that
we've
all
talked
about
and
that
the
management
executive
management,
the
mayor
has
stressed
us
for
so
many
years,
and
we
need
to
stay
focused
on
that.
My
concern
with
all
this
is
the
the
physical
irresponsibility
versus
responsibility,
the
non-accountability
versus
accountability.
N
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you:
we're
placing
a
lot
of
trust
and
confidence.
As
you
said,
in
your
stay
in
staff
in
the
administration,
the
executive
administration
mayor
your
administration
and
doing
the
right
thing
here,
because
this
is
this-
is
a
lot-
that's
a
lot
of
stuff
moving
yeah,
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
requests.
Everybody's
got
their
hands
out
and
you
know
when
you
talk
about
formulating
the
applications
and
the
the
accountability
process
and
all
these
requests
and
requirements,
etc.
N
I
mean
that's
going
to
be
a
heavy
heavy
obstacle
to
overcome,
but
I'm
going
to
have
to
put
we're
going
to
put
a
lot
of
trust
and
confidence
in
the
executive
administration
to
do
the
right
thing
and
to
be
physically
responsible
in
how
we
move
forward.
My
concern
is
that
we've
got
a
you
know.
N
We
won't
get
this
opportunity
again,
but
we've
got
an
opportunity
to
catch
up
on
a
lot,
a
lot
of
issues,
problems
that
we
have
that
the
government
has
to
address
in
our
various
departments
throughout
and
if
we
don't
do
it
now,
keep
in
mind
that
that's
going
to
be
added
stress,
yeah
on
your
budget
later
financially,
that's
right
and
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
go
back
and
recoup
it,
and
you
may
have
to
make
some
difficult
decisions
of
that
and
you
mix
that
in
with
a
recession,
will
come.
We
go
through
these
things.
N
N
So
that's
going
to
stress
our
budget
even
more,
and
I
just
wanted
the
council
to
realize
that
we've
already
we're
starting
to
increase
our
budget,
and
you
know
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
keep
that
pace
up
and
we've
got
ourselves
into
a
position
where
we've
got
some
reserves.
We've
built
up
the
fund
balance
we,
the
retirement
fund,
is
solid.
N
N
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
in
to
these
conversations
as
we're
having
and
let
you
know
that
it's
a
great
challenge,
it's
a
great
responsibility,
but
I'm
placing
a
lot
of
my
trust
and
confidence
in
you
and
the
executive
administration
staff
that
we
do
the
right
thing
with
this.
This
unique
one-time
opportunity
that
we
have
sure.
A
All
right
we'll
move
on
now
I
guess
to
the
city,
attorney's,
agenda
assistant
city
attorney.
U
Thank
you
mayor
good
morning
councillors.
We
have
a
very
short
agenda
this
morning.
Our
first
item
is
a
second
reading,
an
amendment
to
the
unified
development
ordinance
that
is
ready
to
for
a
vote.
It
would
amend
the
ordinance
to
provide
for
a
category
of
use
called
solid
waste
transfer
station,
which
could
be
made
a
special
exception
in
either
hmi
or
lmi
zoning
districts,
council.
A
N
Mayor
and
talking
to
my
colleagues
and
just
kind
of
working
through
this,
it's
become
obvious
that
there's
a
lot
of
issues
and
concerns
with
this
matter,
and
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
that
at
this
time
that
we
not
approve
these.
These
new
additions
to
the
udo-
and
you
know
it
does
leave
opportunity
in
the
future,
maybe
to
come
back
and
relook
at
it.
But
right
now
I
think
that
there's
just
too
many
issues
and
concerns.
I
make
a
motion
that
we
do
not
approve
this
request.
A
All
right
there's
a
motion
to
deny
and
by
council
davis
in
a
second
from
the
mayor,
pro
tem,
any
discussion
to
the
motion.
A
A
C
A
C
And
the
what's,
the
current
zoning.
A
Right
now
there
is
no,
as
I
understand
it,
I
know
director
jones
is
here,
but
as
I
understand
it,
that
there
is
no
allowance
for
a
even
a
special
exception
use
in
any
of
our.
K
Well,
mr
mayor,
I
just
just
for
clarification
for
those
here
and
those
watching
by
television.
They
probably
don't
know
what
this
is
you're
voting
on.
So
can
I'd
like
to
have
staff
to
just
say
what
this
is,
because
I
think
you
separated
one
item
out
and
then
it
left
two
items,
and
so,
if
he
would
just
summarize
in
summary,
what
what
is
it
we're
talking
about
here.
V
K
V
That's
supposed
to
sign.
We
have
to
run
an
ad.
We
have
to
have
a
planning
advisory
and
has
come
to
council
for
final
determination
and
that's
what
we
were
trying
to
achieve
more
than
anything
else
with
the
understanding.
If
that
passed,
this
company
or
any
other
company
would
have
to
come
back
to
council
for
ask
for
for
permission
and
approval
really
to
locate
another
solid
waste
facility
in
this
in
this
community.
V
As
it
stands
right
now,
the
where
the
existing
one
is
on
veterans
they're
allowed
to
stay
there
forever
and
a
day
providing
that
they
do
not
try
to
expand
that
operation
or
if
they
should
stop
that
operation
for
more
than
six
months.
Then
it
goes
away
at
that
time,
but
for
right
now,
they're
allowed
to
to
maintain
that
site
on
veterans,
parkway.
F
V
A
What
did
you
they're
to
defeat
it
to
vote
they're
voting
to
deny
the
addition
of
a
definition
and
the
opportunity
to
apply
for
a
special
exception?
Okay,.
A
All
right
so,
the
any
more
to
the
to
the
motion.
Counselor
davis,
yeah.
N
I
just
to
for
clarification's
sake,
I
think,
really
in
simple
what
the
request
is
to
establish
a
category
in
zoning
in
order
to
have
waste
transfer
stations
or
temporary
dumps,
whatever
you
want
to
call
them
in
columbus,
georgia.
What
we
are
doing
now
and
taking
this
off
the
table
is
there
won't
be
a
category.
N
So
we
are
saying
basically
that
we
don't
want
this
in
our
community
at
this
point,
there's
too
many
concerns
and
issues
and
that
we
have
the
ability
to
come
back
at
another
day
and
look
at
it,
but
we
are
not
creating
a
new
category
or
a
zoning
category
for
waste
transfer
facilities,
and
that
is
just
the
dump
aspect
of
it.
It
doesn't
include.
N
You
have
to
remember
what
we're
talking
about
is
a
temporary
dump,
it's
a
waste
transfer
structure,
parking
of
vehicles,
equipment
and
things
like
that.
There's
opportunities
out
there
as
far
as
zoning.
This
is
for
the
one
aspect
of
the
dumping
and
right
now,
based
on
the
conversations
I
have
with
everybody,
there's
too
many
concerns
and
issues.
We
we
just
we're
not
interested
in
going
down
that
path.
Right
now.
Well,.
K
K
K
A
All
right
councillor,
thomas.
E
Mr
mayor,
this
this
issue
has
been
one
of
the
most
convoluted
I
have
had
to
deal
with
since
I've
been
on
council,
and
I
want
us
to
make
sure
that
we
know
what
we're
voting
for,
and
I
don't
know
if
miss
davis
as
the
clerk
can
read
the
motion
or
if
councilor
davis
wants
to
repeat
our
director
jones
wants
to
repeat.
But
I
want
us
to
be
absolutely
clear
on
what
we're
doing.
A
V
A
V
A
E
And
if
a
business
wanted
to,
they
could
come
back
through
the
planning
department
next
month
and
request.
It
again
is
that
correct?
Yes,.
J
A
V
Back
as
far
as
who
actually
applied
for
the
request,
it
makes
no
difference
on
the
timetable
for
the
actual
amendment
to
the
ordinance
we're
talking
again.
I
won't
be
clear:
we're
talking
about
an
actual
text
amendment
at
this
time
only
right
through
the
ordinance
we're
not
talking
about
anything
else,
but
we're
not
authorizing
anybody
else
to
come
in
and
operate
operate.
A
a
solid
waste
transfer
station.
All
we're
doing
is
establishing
that
that
fact
in
the
in
the
udl
itself.
A
A
All
right,
we've
got
a
few
others,
councilor
house.
M
U
N
Got
it
yes,
council,
davis?
Yes,
that's
I
mean
I
go
back.
The
motion
is
basically
only
the
word
defeat
that
doesn't
register
my
mind,
really
we're
just
voting
not
to
make
any
changes
to
the
udo.
That
was
the
motion.
We're
not
accepting
the
changes
that
have
been
presented
to
us
and
that
could
be
denied
defeat.
You
can
you
can
pick
a
word.
A
N
N
I
don't
think
that's
that's
an
issue
here
on
the
table.
They're
already
doing
it
in
such
a
way,
but
companies
are
growing
they're
taking
over
new
companies.
Other
companies
I
mean
these
are
now
becoming
national
companies
or
foreign
companies
that
are
running
the
whole
waste
pickup
operations
in
columbus.
There
are
opportunities,
they're
they're
operating
now
from
that
standpoint,
and
you
know
the
the
question,
is
it
becomes
a
business
model
decision
and
I
think
that
there's
many
opportunities
for
them
to
fulfill
that.
Okay.
Thank
you.
U
All
right,
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
a
first
reading
of
the
amendment
to
the
fy
2022
budget,
which
would
permit
the
30
excuse
me
the
20
positions
to
be
reclassified
for
the
police
cadet
program,
because
it
is
an
amendment
to
the
budget
ordinance.
It
does
need
to
come
back
on.
Second
reading
on
the
28th
and.
A
U
Thank
you
all
right,
I'd
like
to
call
up
our
resolutions
number
items
three
and
four
together.
These
are
both
requests
of
the
airport
commission.
A
U
A
A
All
right
and
we'll
move
on
now
thank
you
attorney
to
the
public
agenda
versus
mr
paul
olsen,
mr
olsen.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
city
contract
with
piedmont,
columbus,
regional,
three
mills
and
property
taxes
and
energy
care
contract
ending
in
2022
and
the
embezzlement
of
superior
court
funds.
W
W
Good
morning,
mayor
of
city,
council
name
is
paul
olson.
I
live
at
one
three,
eight
three
zero
jupiter
lane.
I
have
up
on
the
screen
if
you
would
put
it
up
on
there
mike
that's
the
georgia
income,
it's
a
georgia
department
of
monthly
income
for
the
poverty
level
and
it's
at
120
125
and
according
to
the
contract
that
was
signed
back
in
1992.
W
It
basically
said
that
you're
injured
and
you
had
to
be
a
resident
of
columbus,
and
I
I
have
a
problem
because
the
pure
fact
that
nowhere's
on
that
thing
is
an
asterisk
saying,
excluding
prisoners,
and
why
do
I
say
that?
Because
I
talked
to
greg
countryman
and
their
budget
is
about
5.3
million
for
medical
care
and
also
psychiatric
care
each
and
every
year,
and
the
thing
is:
is
that
from
92
on
up
to
2014,
when
you
guys
did
an
amendment,
that's
180-14?
W
I
brought
this
out
that
you
guys
were
charging
110
percent
each
for
those
prisoners.
That's
over
billing
to
me
it's
not
in
accordance
with
what
it
should
be.
The
resolution
282
92
was
a
non-binding
agreement
to
authorize
a
contract
between
the
city
of
columbus
and
the
medical
center,
a
hospital
authority
from
july
1st
1992
for
30
years
until
june
30th
2022,
which
will
be
expiring.
It
was
a
unilateral
contract.
What
do
I
mean
by
unilateral
means?
W
It's
one-sided
and
one-sided
agreement
is
illegal,
especially
when
hardy
paulie's,
who
was
the
city
attorney
at
that
time,
and
it
says
it
through
the
city
charter,
which
is
our
local
constitution,
that
he
shall
endorse,
means
that
he
must
sign
well
if
he
would
not
sign,
and
it
has
lumia
miller
who
was
the
clerk
of
council
who
signed
as
a
witness
with
that
with
frank
martin,
frank
martin,
who
was
the
mayor
at
the
time,
then
that
thing
is
not
valid.
W
On
top
of
that
any
amendment
after
that-
and
I
have
basically
a
ocga
13-1-1
in
2010,
says
if
that
wasn't
legal
from
the
very
beginning,
then
it
isn't
legal
as
an
amendment,
okay,
so
in
in
all
reality,
that
thing
has
never
been
legal
from
the
very
get-go
it
obligates
the
taxpayers,
three
mills
in
property
taxes,
and
that
equates
to
14.8
million
dollars.
W
Prisoners
are
considered
incident
and,
like
I
said
110,
it
has
been
used.
In
my
estimation,
that's
been
used
to
purchase
hospitals
because
there's
never
been
really
a
forensic
audit,
and
why
do
I
say
that?
Because
columbus
regional
started
out
with
just
medical
center,
then
they
bought
john
b
amos
cancer
center?
They
bought
houston
clinic,
they
bought
doctors
hospital
I
mean
I
can
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
when
piedmont
bought
it
back
in
2018,
they
paid
250
million
for
it,
but
they
also
inherited
280
million
dollars.
That's
530
million
dollars.
W
Everybody
here
should
be
really
alarmed
because
the
pure
fact
that
when
they
were
out
there
purchasing
it,
they
put
it
under
the
umbrella
of
an
injured
care
and
non-profit.
So
they
took
things
like
doctors,
hospital,
houston,
clinic
john
b
amos
who
we're
paying
property
taxes
off
the
property
tax
list.
So
I
I
figure
out
about
five
million
dollars
less
in
the
coffers
in
in
the
in
the
city
conference
in
2015,
which
would
be
really
alarming.
Is
columbia.
W
Regional
health
agreed
to
pay
a
35
million,
settle
to
allegations
that
had
offered
lucrative
kickbacks
and
incentives
to
physicians
in
unlawful
billing,
in
violation
of
the
falls
claims
act
and
stark
law,
that's
not
something!
I'm
making
up!
That's
in
the
ledger!
Inquirer
you
can
google
it.
That
should
be
alarming
you're
dealing
with
somebody
who
basically
was
fined,
35
million
dollars
and
usually,
if
you're,
finding
35
million.
That
means
you
probably
stole
about
100
million.
W
I'm
just
saying
that
it's
just
unbelievable
people
should
have
been
went
to
prison,
but
then,
after
they
purchased
in
2018,
in
2020,
2020
employees
of
columbus
regional
healthcare
system
filed
a
class-action
lawsuit
against
piedmont,
columbus,
regional
retirement
savings
plan
which
has
cost
each
of
these
individuals.
Basically,
you
know
thousands
of
dollars
in
their
retirement
plan.
That
should
be
alarming
to
people
should
be
alarming
that
basically
this
was
created.
This
has
created
a
monopoly,
this
columbus,
regional,
okay.
W
So
I
say
to
everybody
out
there
and
I
talked
to
clifton
faye
many
years
ago
that
basically
we
only
have
to
have
required
by
law
one
mill
in
property
taxes,
and
if
we
do
that,
it
should
be
dedicated
to
the
prisoners
who
are
truly
indigent,
not
somebody
in
spring
harbor
spring
harbor.
I
mean
they
fall
under
this
umbrella
and
and
it
takes
300
to
400
thousand
dollars
just
to
purchase
something
out
there.
So
they
don't
fall
underneath
the
auspices
of
that,
and
this
should
be
alarming,
and
the
other
thing
is.
Is
that.
W
A
I
appreciate
it
and
I.
A
And
I
will
tell
you
that
we
are,
and
the
city
manager
may
want
to
add
to
it,
but
I'll
tell
you
that
we
are
in
preparing
and
staff
has
been
working
in
in
communication
with
our
current
contractor,
but
there
will
be
some
changes
in
the
way
that
contract
was
structured.
A
I
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
there
were
a
lot
of
questions
by
counselors
as
to
how
that
contract
has
played
out,
but
we
do
have
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
we're
contributing
from
a
morally
acceptable
amount
on
behalf
of
our
citizens
that
need
that
assistance.
So
we'll
we'll
follow
through
on
that.
X
Arisha
zappora
lawrence
here
for
the
music
and
entertainment
council,
honorable
mayor,
thank
you,
city
manager,
isaiah,
hugely
and
every
distinguished
council
member
here
some
I
have
never
met
and
some
that
I
know
very
well,
I'm
glad
to
be
here
today.
I'm
glad
that
a
few
members
for
mek
are
here,
for
instance,
a
2020
bmi
song
of
the
year.
Recording
art
is
wendy,
wyatt
who's,
also,
a
distinguished
pastor,
oz
roberts.
X
We
have
country
singer,
nellie
black,
a
producer
and
a
ranger
jay
chantel
and
a
young
man
I
haven't
met
yet,
but
he
said
hey.
I
want
to
be
here
to
support
music,
so
we're
here
just
to
talk
about
something.
That's
always
here
when
you
think
sustainability,
when
you
think
longevity,
when
you
think
growth
music
has
always
and
will
always
be
here,
it
brightens
everybody's
day
and
some
people,
it
makes
sad.
You
know
it's
a
mood
changer
right,
but
it
helps
mental
health.
X
X
Is
awesome,
this
is
going
to
be
great,
but
you
know
a
little
background.
Music
now
would
help
too,
but
that's
just
a
suggestion.
I
don't
want
to
wear
the
patience
of
the
saints,
and
I
appreciate-
pastor
reverend
dr
burgess
colonel
burgess,
being
here
who
I
served
with
honorably
each
week
at
st
mary's
road,
but
there's
some
letters
in
your
email
and
if
you
check
them,
I
sent
them
at
10
25,
so
everyone
should
have
a
copy.
X
The
mayor
also
has
a
copy
and
he's
known
about
meg
for
a
while
now,
and
we
appreciate
all
of
his
support.
We
just
want
you
all
to
know
that
music
is
here.
Why
are
we
here,
though?
Why
is
the
music
and
entertainment
council
needed?
Because
music
cities
is
the
thing
of
the
future?
It's
what
columbus
is
needed.
X
We
need
the
definition
of
music
city
for
columbus
georgia
when
you
think
tourism,
when
you
think
attraction
when
you
think
retaining
talent
of
this
beautiful
school
right
behind
us,
you
know
randy
mccullar,
listen,
we
want
every
young
person,
that's
training
there
to
stay
right
here
in
this
region
to
help
us
grow
jobs
to
sustain
the
economy.
All
of
these
things
are
part
of
what
we
are
driving
to
do
along
with
our
partners,
georgia,
music
partners-
and
we
appreciate
their
endorsement,
and
we
also
appreciate
the
endorsement
and
the
support
of
sound
diplomacy.
X
Who
now
is
an
official
voice
with
the
united
nations
for
music
and
entertainment.
So
we
just
wanted
to
introduce
ourselves
to
make
sure
that
you
knew
who
we
are,
and
vice
versa,
and
we
know
that
the
mayor
will
fill
you
in
possibly
through
our
voice,
councilwoman
toya
tucker.
Thank
you
for
all.
You
do
councilwoman
mimi
woodson,
thank
you
for
being
there
and
for
being
present
at
the
loft.
That
meant
everything
to
every
artist,
entertainer
and
musician
in
this
city.
X
J
X
Y
A
Z,
thank
you
for
your
passion.
This
is
really
a
it's
a
it's
it's
something
that
I
know.
Ms
lawrence
is
passionate
about.
She's
been
pursuing
this,
it's
a
it's
an
incredible
initiative
and
I
think,
as
more
and
more
people
in
the
community
hear
about
it
and
get
behind
it,
it's
going
to
be
something
that
really
puts
columbus,
not
just
on
the
music
map
but
on
the
map
period.
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
energies
and
your
efforts,
always
oh
councilor,
tucker,
counselor,
tucker,.
F
F
I
mean
just
an
amazing
person
really
and
she's
an
advocate.
The
first
time
I
met
her
was
in
2018
and
she
was
coming
up
to
speak
about
music
and
the
importance
of
music
and
how
music
really
can
bring
tourism,
and
we
saw
that
at
the
civic
center
and
you
were
there
when
those
5
000
people
came
out
to
safely
safely.
F
You
know
be
entertained
and
it
was
amazing-
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you,
z
for
all
that
you
do
for
this
community
because
you're,
not
only
you,
know,
working
in
the
music
industry
but
you're
you're
concerned
about
the
community
about
the
safety.
You
know
about
the
violence
that
we
we
have
seen,
increase
and
you're
always
doing
stuff,
whether
it's
feeding
homeless.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
actually
doing.
The
the
vaccine
drive
at
your
church
just
doing
so
much
so
much
for
columbus,
and
I
just
want
to
personally
thank
you
publicly
for
all
that.
F
A
L
L
My
colleague
has
said
all
the
wonderful
things,
but
I
just
want
to
personally
say
thank
you
for
including
me.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
be
a
part
of
your
dream
and
please
keep
me
in
touch
and
if
anything,
I
can
do
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
to
do
it
and
consider
helping
us
next
year
with
the
tri-city
latino
festival.
That
festival
is
what
it's
called
tri-city
latino
is
really
not
a
true
latino
festival.
L
It
is
a
multicultural
festival.
Our
music
starts
from
noon
to
five
o'clock,
english
and
spanish.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
money,
but
we're
willing
to
work
and
negotiate
and
and
do
things
and
and
that's
the
whole
point
of
it-
is
to
bring
all
of
our
god's
children
together.
So
think
about
it.
Reach
out
to
me
and
let's
see
what
we
could
talk
for
next
year,.
K
Mr
city
manager,
miss
mayor.
I
was
going
to
thank
z2.
That
was
awesome.
You
got
me
all
fired
up
here
with
the
amazing
grace.
I
tell
you
ready
to
go
to
church,
you
know,
but
but
but
she
mentioned
there's
a
country
singer,
I'm
trying
to.
I
can't
identify
this
country
singer.

K
A
H
No,
not
me
it's
all
about
turning
your
mic
off.
No,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
council
and
the
city
manager
and
everybody
involved.
H
It's
been
a
day
to
thank
a
lot
of
people,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that,
on
behalf
of
the
committee,
that
we've
got
aretha
and
her
folks
at
hr
that
have
supported
the
committee
and
supported
employees,
and
I've
been
coming
here
since
1988
for
some
one
reason
or
another,
so
hr
has
always
been
great
to
help
and
work
with
all
of
us,
there's
a
of
course
the
in
it.
What
excuse
me
nfp?
H
The
consulting
group
works
with
the
committee,
and
then
we
have
a,
I
guess,
a
lack
better
word,
a
professional
from
the
hr
world.
H
In
this
case
it's
perry,
johnson
who
chairs
our
committee
and
those
people
have
always
worked
to
guide
us
and
as
a
group
of
amateurs
and
get
making
sure
we
look
at
all
the
proper
things.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
committee
and
myself,
thank
you
all
good,
lord
willing
I'll
be
back
next
year
and
we
with
the
economy
the
way
it's
been,
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
to
garner
another
reduction
in
policy
premium
for
all
them:
retired,
post,
post-65
retirees,
that's
a
good
thing
too.
H
K
It's
really
a
good
feeling,
I
know
some
of
the
ones
around
this
table.
Council
members
have
been
here
a
while,
but
but
I
remember
every
year
when
we
had
to
debate
health
insurance,
public
safety
folk
would
be
at
the
podium
and
employees.
You
know,
let
me
approach
him,
you
know
and-
and
I'm
saying
in
the
last
I
mean
you
heard
it
from
the
deputy
city
manager.
We
haven't
had
a
rate
increase
and
I
hate
to
even
talk
about
it
because
you
may
have
to
be
here
next
year.
K
You
know
but
no
rate
increase
and
the
and
the
retirees
would
come
and
it
was
always
a
debate
and
they
come
and
they
think
they.
Thank
you
guys.
For
the
I
mean
it's
just
it's
there's
it's
different
so,
but
thank
you
and
but
that's
a
testament
to
our
hr
director
and
our
team
and
just
you
know,
taking
care
of
the
employees,
absolutely
appreciate
you.
K
Next,
we've
got
a
street
acceptance,
property
form,
formerly
known
as
first
avenue
it
that
runs
from
south
right-of-way
land
freight.
A
A
Okay,
I
might
want
to
finish
explaining
four
and
then
also
six.
In
the
meantime,
though,
any
there's
a
motion.
Second,
for
item
six
yeah,
any
discussion,
you
can
cue
it
for
the
vote,
while
the
city
manager
walks
through
it
cue
it
bruce.
Thank
you
registry.
K
K
And
then
number
six
is
liberty,
utility
they've
got
to
do
some
construction
work
and
they
just
needed
a
place
to
as
they
refer
to
it
as
lay
down
area
for
their
construction,
for
nearby
infrastructure
is
what
for
that
is,
and
it's
just
I
mean
they'll
use
it
and
then,
when
they're
done
with
their
project,
they
won't
be
using
it
number
five
we
had
already
taken
care
of,
and
then
number
seven
is
the
mayor's
commission
on
health
donations.
A
All
right,
there's
motion,
second,
to
prove
any
discussion
hearing
none,
please
cue.
The
vote.
A
K
Okay,
mayor
we've
handled
the
six
ambulance
units
and
also
be
the
emergency
operations
center
technology
that
was
in
the
powerpoint
presentation.
A
K
C
is
safety

from
a
low

company,
estimated
annual

Ninety
six
thousand
six
hundred
and
ten
dollars
the
d
janitorial
supplies
for
the
columbus

and

approve
and
that's
an
amount
of
estimated
46
745
dollars
e
is
storing

and
recycling

tires
as
they
come
into.
K
The
landfill
elf
is
soft,
drink
concession,
columbus,
civic
center
and
ice
rink,
and
I
do
want
to
pause
here
to
say
that
this
was
a
highly
competitive
process
and
and
so
at
the
end
of
the
day
after
you
know,
going
through
this
process
at
the
columbus
civic
center
and
ice
rink,
buffalo
rock
did
win
that
request,
and
so
I
wanted
to
just
share
that
heavy
duty
truck
lift
for
public
works,
sg
intercept
high
security.
Contraband
scanning
systems

I
is

Boom.
K
K
A
And-
and
I'm
just
gonna
ask
counselors
to
make
sure
everybody's
gonna
be
able
to
stay
here,
because
we
do
have
an
executive
session.
We
have
to
have
a
quorum,
be
able
to
go
into
it.
A
Right,
we'll
we'll
continue
and
and
if
we
look
like
we're
getting
close
to.
K
A
R
As
a
reminder
of
what
projects
were
done
with
the
splost
in
the
past,
the
99's
obviously
was
done
in
1999
ended
in
2008.
It
was
for
a
total
of
255
million
and
those
projects
included
fire
stations,
fire
and
ems
equipment
and
vehicles,
the
animal
shelter,
liberty,
district,
the
columbia,
columbus
convention
and
trade
center.
The
olympic
pools
lake
oliver
bull,
creek
golf
course
parks
and
green
space
and
walking
trails
and
again
that
was
99
so
think
about
how
long
ago
that
was
over
20
years
ago
is
when
these
projects
happen
also
the
city
services
center.
R
This
was
one
of
the
projects
that
was
done
at
the
end
of
that
time.
Period,
storm
water
improvements,
the
library
next
door,
road
improvements,
enterprise
zone,
muskogee
technology
park,
some
funding
for
buses
and
also
oxford
meadow
park.
Just
a
few
pictures
of
those
projects
that
have
been
completed
with
the
1999
splost.
R
And
then
the
1993,
which
went
through
2000,
that
was
169
million
dollars
worth
of
projects
again,
that
was
the
civic
center.
This
was
even
25
years
ago,
so
the
civic
center
public
safety
building
parks
and
recreation,
the
rec
centers,
were
built
with
those
funds.
The
the
riverwalk
was
from
the
1993
splash,
as
well
as
50
miles
of
sidewalks.
R
So
as
we
look
to
the
2021
splash
that
will
be
on
the
ballot
november,
2nd
the
splost
will
be
for
400
million.
The
collection
period,
if
approved,
would
start
in
april
of
22
estimated
to
go
through
march
of
31,
which
is
about
a
10-year
period,
but
based
on
our
current
collection
rate,
it
probably
will
be
closer
to
eight
or
nine
years.
200
million
dollars
would
be
issued
for
general
obligation,
bonds
for
the
judicial
center
and
then
all
other
projects
would
be
handled
as
pay
as
you
go.
R
So
I'll
go
through
these
projects
individually
rather
quickly
and
again.
If
there's
questions
please,
let
me
know
economic
development,
9
million.
This
is
for
additional
infrastructure
and
site
prep
at
muskogee
technology
park.
They
have
a
lot
of
sites
at
muskogee
technology
park.
This
picture
on
the
right
shows
what
they've
been
able
to
do
with
some
site
preparation.
R
It
does
help
with
when
they're,
showing
to
site
consultants
and
potential
businesses
when
they
see
the
site
cleared,
it
does
have
a
different
impression,
so
this
would
be
for
additional
site
prep
and
then
also
to
target
a
redevelopment
in
south
columbus
parks
and
recreation.
48
million
park
improvements
at
a
lot
of
our
parks.
R
As
you
heard
the
accolades
today
from
the
parks
and
recreation
department,
they
do
a
great
job.
This
would
just
be
to
continue
to
enhance
those
things.
We
have
a
lot
of
outdated,
restrooms
and
playgrounds
and
amenities
throughout
our
parks
that
need
to
be
upgraded,
pools
that
are
in
need
of
replacement.
R
R
So
there
are
some
renovations
that
need
to
be
made
at
those
facilities,
public
safety,
vehicle
and
equipment,
at
24
million
between
the
fire
department,
sheriff's
office
and
police
department
and
based
on
councilor
crabb's
question.
Earlier
again,
this
floss
does
include
fire
department,
fire
trucks
and
ambulances,
but
as
the
chief
presented
last
week,
you
know
they
have,
let's
see
13
engines
and
three
reserves
average
life
of
nine
years.
R
Eight
of
them
need
to
be
replaced
now.
So,
even
by
replacing
five
of
those
through
the
o-loss
public
safety
reserve,
they
still
have
three
that
need
replacement
now
and
another
three
that
qualify
for
replacement.
So
there
is
no
duplication
into
what
was
done
through
arp
or
the
public
safety
reserves,
and
that's
just
one
example
of
how
there's
additional
equipment
and
need
in
the
fire
department.
R
R
R
200
million
dollar
number
construction
alone
is
818
million
and
so
there's
other
requirements
for
construction,
including
the
parking
structure,
the
demolition,
the
temporary
space.
If
that's
needed
the
design,
the
project
management
and
then
contingencies,
you
know
we're
several
years
out.
Construction
materials
are
fluctuating
a
lot,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
sufficient
budget
for
that
facility.
R
There's
a
list
of
about
12
projects
that
they
have
been
working
on,
the
replacement
of
the
bull,
creek,
clubhouse,
and
also
the
bridge
at
bull
creek,
which
has
been
out
for
several
years
and
then
the
renovation
of
oxbow
creek
clubhouse,
and
they
also
have
a
bridge.
That's
cannot
be
used
at
this
time,
so
it
would
also
replace
that
bridge
as
well
trade
center
5
million.
This
is
to
provide
additional
spaces
for
their
parking
structure.
R
R
The
sales
tax
current
rate
is
8
percent.
If
this
floss
is
passed
in
november,
beginning
in
april,
our
sales
tax
would
temporarily
go
to
nine
percent.
The
t
splost
is
on
the
ballot
for
next
may
and
depending
on
the
outcome
of
that
ballot
would
determine
whether
sales
tax
remains
at
nine
percent.
If
it
is
passed
or
goes
back
to
eight
percent
it
if
it
is
not
passed,
so
it
would
be
a
period
of
nine
months
where
the
sales
tax
would
be
at
a
rate
of
nine
percent
and
then
pending.
R
Just
the
history
of
the
of
the
different
sales
tax
that
we
have
in
columbus.
The
school
districts
has
had
five
different
east
lost.
The
city
has
had
two
splost
and
proposal
of
the
third
one,
and
then
we
have
a
t
splost
in
place,
and
the
region
has
determined
that
they
want
to
go
after
a
second
round
of
batiste
loss
for
the
region.
R
So
just
in
kind
of,
in
summary,
just
as
a
reminder
that
30
of
sales
tax
comes
from
tourists,
visitors
and
neighboring
residents.
So
it's
not
the
complete
burden
of
muskogee
county
residents.
When
you
do
a
sales
tax,
it
does
have
others
from
outside
our
community
that
contribute
to
these
investments
that
are
made
in
the
community.
R
We're
also
able
to
leverage
floss
with
other
federal
and
state
funding
and
splost
do
produce
local
jobs
and
economic
development
when
the
projects
are
completed
with
local
contractors,
so
just
to
kind
of
provide
a
summary
of
the
sales
tax
that
we've
had
in
the
past
between
the
93,
the
99
and
then
the
proposed
2021
splost.
If
it's
passed,
that
would
be
over
824
million
dollars
worth
of
investment
in
our
community
for
capital
improvements.
L
I
really
don't
have
a
question
on
this.
I
just
want
to
make
a
request.
It
just
reminds
me
when
we're
looking-
and
I
know
we
have
a
drawing
already
about
the
government
center,
but
when
we
can,
we
look
at
that.
I
mentioned
it
to
the
mayor.
In
a
conversation
we
had
previously.
L
Council
needs
an
office,
a
conference
room
where
we
can
meet
with
constituents.
Unfortunately,
now
we're
going
to
people's
homes
or
we're
meeting
at
mcdonald's
or-
and
I
know
we
have
the
city
managers
conference
room
the
mayor's
conference
room.
I
know
that
3-1-1
has
one,
and
I
know
we
have
a
small
one
back
here,
but
everybody
can't
get
back
here.
It's
isolated,
you
know
it's
difficult
to
get
and
we
have
to
fight
what
everyone's
not
fight,
but
you
know
look
at
everyone's
schedule.
L
Sorry,
my
english
today
is
interesting
with
their
schedules
to
be
able
to
service,
and
I
think
at
least
we
should
have
along
the
clerk's
office
so
that
we
can
reach
out
to
them.
If
we
need
them
to
office
in
a
conference
room
where
two
council
members
can
be
there
at
the
same
time,
they
can
call
the
clerk
and
say:
hey.
Is
it
available?
I'm
coming?
L
I
have
a
constituent
to
me,
and
so
we
could,
because
if
we
meet
here,
we
got
to
make
it
it's
a
hurdle
to
get,
and
then
sometimes
the
constituents
don't
want
to
come
to
this.
You
know
this
traffic,
so
just
just
food
for
thought.
I've
gone
to
a
couple
of
places
where
even
my
colleague
bruce
huff
said
you're
going
there
by
yourself.
L
L
You
it's
just
a
request.
I
was
thinking
about
it
and
I
did
mention
the
mayor
said
he
was
going
to
look
into
it.
I
just
think
it's
really
really
important
and
I
think
the
constituents
would
appreciate
it
because
they
know
they
can
reach
us
even
better,
because
we're
right
there
with
the
clerk.
If
they
ask
us
something
we're
right
there,
we
can
reach
out
to
the
clerk
instead
of
going
all
over.
Thank
you
and
we
can
name
it
after
halloween.
L
We
can
name
it
after
evelyn.
We
were
looking
I
have
mentioned
before.
I
can't
remember
who
I'm
getting
senile
that
I
would
like
to.
You
know
name
something
after
evelyn,
because
she's
been
here,
you
know
over
30
some
plus
years
and
we
need
to
find
something
to
name
in
her
honor,
and
maybe
this
is
it
this
is
you
know
I
don't
know,
but
something
I'm
just
putting
food
for
thought.
You
know
I'm
planting
seeds,
but
I
really
wish
we
did
have
a
meeting
space.
Okay,
thank
you.
K
R
U
R
Just
wanted
to
give
an
update
on
the
transportation,
special
purpose,
local
option,
sales
tax
and
the
projects
that
the
regional
roundtable
is
considering,
but
first
just
to
quickly
walk
through
the
current
t-splost,
the
riverwalk,
which
is
complete,
that
was
at
bib
mill
and
city
mills.
The
follow
me
trail,
which
is
completed
with
the
t,
splost
u.s,
27
and
custer,
was
completed
with
the
t.
Splost
metra
is
in
progress.
They
were
awarded
22.4
million
out
of
the
t
splost
and
have
been
utilizing
those
funds
throughout
this
10-year
period.
R
The
spiderweb
project
is
under
construction.
You'll
see
some
construction
on
the
side
road
with
a
net,
also
the
temporary
roads
starting
to
go
in
so
that
project
is
moving
forward,
the
diverging
diamond
at
buena
vista
and
185
you're,
seeing
construction
at
that
intersection.
So
this
is
a
project
that
gdot's
managing
for
us
and
so
that
project
is
moving
forward
under
construction.
R
R
That
one
is
under
construction
being
managed
by
gdot,
as
well
as
u.s
27,
north
veterans
parkway.
That
again
it
starts
in
muskogee
county
and
goes
into
harris
county.
That
one
is
under
design,
and
this
is
just
the
list
of
the
proposed
tspos
projects
that
the
regional
roundtable
is
considering
how
they're
going
to
allocate
those
projects.
R
So
again,
another
just
summary
of
the
projects
and
the
investment
that's
been
made
through
a
t
splost,
the
201
million
plus
the
57.
That's
a
portion
in
muskogee
county
plus
the
303
could
give
us
the
potential
of
562
million
of
t-splost.
If
that
second
round
of
t-splost
is
approved
by
the
voters,
you
know
paving
projects
resurfacing.
A
You
know
the
only
thing
I'll
add
is
that
the
executive
committee
of
the
teacher
law
of
the
round
table
is
meeting
again
next
week
and
should
have
the
finalized
project
list
or
be
very,
very
close
to
having
what
they're
going
to
present
to
the
full
round
table
for
them
to
vote
and
approve.
It
there'll
be
a
couple
of
public
meetings
that
they're
looking
to
try
to
make
virtual
to
a
hybrid
so
that
the
the
public
will
be
able
to
listen
to
what's
going
on.
A
But
I
know
we
should
everybody
should
know
by
now
that
pops
barnes
is
the
chair
of
the
river
valley
regional
commission
this
year.
So
his
leadership
on
this
project
and
others
has
been
pretty
solid.
Awesome.
K
Okay,
mayor
of
there
yeah
congratulations,
yeah
pop
yes,
sir,
if
there
are
no
other
questions,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
shelly
hall
director
victim
services.
E
Mr
mayor,
I'm
I'm
really
concerned
that
it
is
now
12
20
and
we've
got
some
people
who
had
to
leave.
We
did
not
take
action
on
a
number
of
items
on
the
clerk's
agenda
last
time.
I
know
they're
back
now.
If
we
lose
a
majority
because
of
the
length
of
the
executive
session,
I'm
I'm
really
concerned,
I'm
concerned
about
the
folks
that
have
been
sitting
here
all
day
all
morning
trying
to
to
make
their
presentation,
but
I
really
think
that
we
need
to
handle
the
clerk's
agenda
yeah
so
that
that.
E
K
Okay,
okay
and
and
mayor,
I
don't
think
the
clerk's
agenda
is
going
to
be
long.
A
A
Motion
second
approve
canceling,
the
proclamation
center
event
on
november,
2nd
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
That's
that's
approved.
A
All
right
there's

All

with

Thank
you
for
being
here.
AB
K
T
AB
Good
afternoon,
mayor
henderson
city
manager,
hugley,
council
members
and
everyone
in
attendance,
I'd
like
to
thank
deputy
city
manager,
pam
hodge,
for
inviting
me
here
today
to
speak
to
you
about
what
our
office
does
for
crime
victims.
My
name
is
shelly
hall,
I'm
director
of
victim
services
for
the
chattahoochee
judicial
circuits,
district
attorney's,
victim
witness
program.
AB
Most
of
you
are
aware
that
there
are
159
counties
in
georgia
and
49
of
those.
That's
we
have
judicial
circuits
are
formed
of
49,
and
each
circuit
elects
a
district
attorney
and
then
the
six
counties
make
up
our
chattahoochee
judicial
circuit.
What
can
be
confusing
to
our
victims
is
that
here
in
columbus
there
are
two
victim
witness
serving
agencies,
and
that's
because
we
have
a
solicitor
general
here.
AB
And
now,
moving
on
to
the
crime
victims,
bill
of
rights,
everything
in
the
vic,
the
bill
of
rights
is
going
to
be
covered
in
title
17,
chapter
17
of
the
code
book
and
this
code
was
all
enacted
in
1995,
and
the
law
stated
that
all
crime
victims
will
receive
notification
throughout
the
entire
criminal
justice
process.
This
may
have
been
a
law,
but
there
was
no
remedy
for
victims
who
believed
that
their
rights
were
violated.
AB
Marsy's
law
came
about
in
2019
as
a
constitutional
amendment
and
this
enhanced
the
crime
or
the
prior
crime
victims
rights.
So
now,
there's
a
recourse
for
crime
victims
to
take
marcy's
law
also
defined
who
a
victim
was,
and
that
is
any
individual
against
whom
a
crime
has
allegedly
been
perpetrated,
including
delinquent
acts,
which
is
juvenile
court.
AB
The
other
thing
that
marcy's
law
did
was
define
who
what
crimes
are
covered,
and
this
is
a
broader
definition.
It's
all
crimes
against
or
involving
the
person
to
include
felony
property
crimes.
So
the
specific
rights
are
listed,
I'm
not
going
to
read
them
all,
but
all
of
this
information
is
in
the
packet
that
you
received.
AB
AB
AB
Now,
let's
talk
about
victim
advocacy
and
some
of
the
services
that
we
provide.
These
are
just
some
of
the
services.
Again,
that's
in
your
packet.
Our
victim
advocates
wear
many
hats,
and
this
is
our
mission
to
serve
the
needs
of
all
crime
victims.
Basically,
we
try
to
address
any
concern
that
stems
from
the
victimization.
AB
We
never
turn
a
victim
away.
If
we
can't
help
our
goal
is
to
find
someone
in
the
community
or
the
state
that
can
help
them
some
of
our
newer
programs.
Due
to
the
increased
availability
of
federal
grant
funding,
we
have
been
fortunate
to
have
experienced
substantial
growth
over
the
years.
What
started
as
a
one-person
office
is
now
a
successful
team
of
14
certified
victim
advocates.
AB
We
have
two
early
victim
notification
advocates
who
reach
out
to
victims
as
soon
as
the
crime
occurs,
often
before
the
offender's
first
appearance
at
recorders
court.
We
have
a
post
adjudication
team
who
stays
in
touch
with
the
crime
victim
long
after
the
case
is
closed.
They
inform
the
victim
of
the
offender's
status
and
the
movements
throughout
the
prison
sentence.
AB
Some
of
the
victims
that
we're
in
contact
with
we
have
been
with
them
for
literally
decades.
We
also
created
a
vocal
funded
therapy
program
and
have
been
recognized
as
the
state's
pilot
program.
This
benefit
offers
counseling
to
any
victim
who
may
be
ineligible
for
the
state's
compensation
coverage.
AB
We
have
a
crime
victims,
compensation
specialist
who
is
dedicated
to
help
the
compensation
claims
throughout
the
entire
circuit,
so
very
quickly.
Let's
get
into
a
little
deeper
into
compensation
crime
victims.
Compensation
is
a
state-run
program
with
its
own
independent
system
of
determining
eligibility
funded
with
zero
tax
dollars.
AB
AB
However,
we've
just
been
told
that,
beginning
next
summer,
hospitals
will
be
considered
paid
in
full
when
there's
an
approved
claim,
a
trip
to
the
emergency
room
for
a
shooting
victim
can
be
above
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
so
that
we're
allowed
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
They
run
out
of
those
funds
very
quickly.
So
now
we
can
know
the
victim
will
not
be
hunted
down
by
collection
agencies
to
get
them
to
pay.
AB
AB
AB
AB
The
claim
must
be
filed
within
three
years
and
the
claimant
must
be
able
to
pass
criminal
justice
coordinating
council's
background
check.
This
is
where
our
specialist
can
be
helpful,
because
if
the
crime
victim
knows
that
their
background
is
going
to
disqualify
them,
we
can
have
a
different
family
member.
A
claimant
pay
the
bill
and
file
that
claim
it's
not
cheating
the
system,
it's
just
ensuring
that
our
victims
have
the
best
chance
of
receiving
the
funds.
AB
These
are
the
allowable
expenses.
Once
eligibility
is
established,
which
is
a
lengthy
process
in
itself,
the
program
may
cover
lost
wages
or
loss
of
support
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars.
Funeral
expenses
up
to
six
thousand
medical
and
dental
up
to
fifteen
mental
health
expenses
up
to
three
thousand,
and
it's
important
that
the
family
understands
that
multiple
members
can
be
eligible
for
that
counseling
program.
AB
AB
Family
members
may
also
be
eligible
for
counseling
and
we
rarely
have
first
responders
apply
for
this,
but
we
urge
them
to
file
because
the
program
will
pick
up
unforeseen
out-of-pocket
expenses,
for
example,
one
officer
was
injured
in
an
aggravated
assault
incident
and
although
the
city
picked
up
all
of
his
workman's
comp
and
his
medical
bills,
he
was
out
of
his
prescription.
Sunglasses,
prescription,
glasses
and
cjcc
replaced
those
because
it
was
a
medical
device.
L
Yes,
I
just
have
a
question
like
the
one
shooting
where
it
was
an
innocent
victim
that
got
shot.
L
Does
your
agency
go
to
them
and
let
them
know
that
this
is
available
or
they
have
to
reach
out
to
you?
No.
AB
Well,
if
you
know
of
somebody-
and
they
haven't
been
in
contact
with
us-
I'm
not
going
to
say
there
aren't
people
that
fall
through
the
cracks.
We
do
our
best
every
case
that
comes
through
recorders
court.
We
have
advocates
there
and
that
is
usually
where
we
capture
them,
but
there's
many
police
reports
there
where
there's
no
arrest,
so
we
also
have
to
be
careful
and
really
try
to
get
a
hold
of
every
victim.
That's
out
there.
L
Well,
maybe
I
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
clear:
there
was
a
shooting
and
an
innocent
person
got
shot
right,
they've
had
to
be
in
the
hospital
twice
their
parents
are
concerned
about
that
debt.
That's
accumulated.
AB
And
that's
where
our
advocates
anytime,
there
is
a
victim
crime,
we
reach
out
to
them
and
I
can't
think
of
any.
You
know
there
are
some
instances
where
we
didn't
get
them,
whether
it's
because
the
arrest
didn't
happen
early,
but
the
majority
of
them.
We
do
a
really
good
job
of
letting
the
victim
know
what
is
available
for
them.
L
AB
K
AB
F
F
Real
quick-
and
I
know
we're
trying
to
I
have
plenty
of
questions,
but
because
we
got
to
get
in
this
executive
session
so
in
reference
to
the
funeral,
I'm
kind
of
following
up
with
mimi
so
with
the
murders
in
reference
to
the
funeral
expenses.
Do
you
all
reach
out
to
like
the
young
lady
that
was
shot
in
yes?.
AB
I
believe
have
already
been
in
touch
with
that
family
so
and
yes,
we
reach
out
to
them
throughout
the
circuit.
We
don't
try
to
invade
their
right
at
the
very
beginning,
but
within
72
hours.
Okay,.
F
That's
always
a
question
I
get
as
a
counselor
from
the
citizens
is:
what
are
we
doing
to
help
those
individuals
who
are
are
killed,
because
I
think
I
got
like
12
in
my
district
right.
J
AB
Anytime,
you
have
a
question:
if
they're
receiving
services,
you
absolutely
have
them,
but
you
can
call
too.
You
can
call
us
and
and
make
sure
that
we
haven't
missed
anybody.
We
do
our
best,
but
we're
very
outnumbered
with
what
what's
going
on
so,
but
our
goal
is
to
reach
every
crime
victim
in
the
circuit.
K
J
AC
Members
of
council,
mr
city
manager,
thank
you
all
for
giving
us
just
a
little
bit
of
your
time
today
to
talk
about
what
we've
got
coming
here
at
metra
october
5th
and
we'll
be
very
brief.
We're
going
to
go
through
this,
we'll
give
you
the
condensed
version
of
what's
what's
going
on,
and
we
hope
that
each
of
you
have
packages.
So
if
you
have
questions
that
we're
not
able
to
answer
today,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
call
our
office
and
we'll
be
able
to
answer
those
questions.
AC
But
we
were
we're
really
super
excited
to
be
able
to
share
today
two
different,
well,
an
activity,
annual
event,
communities
and
motions
which
will
happen
on
october
5th
at
our
transfer
center.
We
did
not
have
it
on
last
year
because
of
covet,
but
during
this
event
we
have
some
really
super
excited
technology,
some
state
of
the
art
technology
that
we
want
to
share
with
the
public,
and
so
that's
the
reason
why
we
really
wanted
to
kind
of
share
this
with
you
today,
because
it's
information,
that's
going
to
benefit
the
public.
AD
AD
Third,
it
provides
trip
planning
capabilities
which
basically
answers
the
question
that
our
customers
have.
How
do
I
get
from
point
a
to
point
b
using
metra?
Well,
the
trick
planner
tells
you
that
we
will
have
on
our
website
a
widget,
and
the
top
image
is
what
the
widget
will
look
like
on
the
website
and
you
just
click
your
point
of
origin
and
point
of
destination,
and
it
will
tell
you
what
stops
to
use
what
routes
to
use
and
how
long
the
trip
will
be.
AD
AD
And
here
are
some
of
the
private
facing
capabilities
that
metra
staff
will
be
using.
It
has
fleet
health
monitoring
which
gives
a
live
fleet
health
status
of
all
of
our
fixed
route
buses,
and
it
also
has
computer-aided
dispatch
capabilities
which
allow
our
dispatch
to
interact
with
bus
operators,
including
signing
them
in
and
out,
if
they're
signed
in
incorrectly
or
changing
out
a
destination
side.
AD
Oh,
it's
a
metra
mobile,
it's
not
currently
available
at
the
moment,
but
it
will
be
by
october
5th.
A
K
AD
A
AD
AC
AC
Thank
you
so
much
for
assisting
robert,
but
he,
when
I
tell
you
he
jumped
in
when
this
funding
became
available
and
he
took
ownership,
so
it
was
funded
by
the
cares
funding
that
we
received
in
2020
6.9
million
that
we
receive
from
the
federal
government
and,
of
course,
they'll
tell
you
pretty
much
what
you
can
spend
the
money
on.
So
with
that
funding
we
purchase
eight
30-foot
buses.
AC
We
will
not
be
getting
the
35-foot
buses
with
this
funding.
We
purchased.
Four
of
those
eight
will
be
here
this
month.
The
remaining
four
will
be
in
january,
seven
new
paratransit,
the
dollar
ride
buses.
We've
received
those
funding
for
operating
materials,
ppe
things
like
that.
When
customers
get
on
the
bus,
we
make
sure
they
have
mass
decontamination
contracted
out
with
companies
that
come
in
and
decontaminate,
as
well
as
our
staff
decontaminating
and,
of
course,
this
its
860
000
startup
and
100
000
annual
costs
for
to
keep
this
system
going.
AC
I
think
the
big
piece
for
our
customers
is
the
wi-fi
wi-fi
on
every
single
bus.
That
is
something
that
that
is.
You
know
that
is
phenomenal,
so
again,
I'll
wrap
up
by
saying
on
the
last
slide.
Did
I
miss
it?
AC
I'm
sorry
there
you
go
that
was
okay.
Here
we
go
october
5th
part
of
communities,
emotions.
We
will
have
the
health
department
there
to
provide
vaccinations
on
site.
They
came
to
our
property
in
may
and
they're
going
to
be
back
again,
so
we
invite
you
all
to
come
out
and
enjoy
and
participate
with
us.
Okay,
any
questions.
K
They've
gotten
a
lot
of
federal
money
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
so
mayor.
The
last
update
will
be
yard
waste
bulk
waste
update.
We've
got
director
mike
crittel
here
to
do
that.
Update.
G
G
G
700
pounds
ran
across
the
scales
at
the
landfill
from
the
streets
of
columbus.
That
is
a
lot
of
bulk.
Waste
got
picked
up,
that's
like,
and
it's
mostly
it's
your
it's
your
patrice's
appliances,
couches
things
like
that
and
then
naturally
they're
going
for
the
bigger
piles
they're
going
for
the
weight.
I
would
too,
if
I
was
a
private
hauler
going
for
that.
I'd
go
for
the
big
piles
in
a
big
way.
That's
what
they're
doing,
but
that's
what
we're
seeing
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
activity
every
day.
G
G
I'm
gonna
say
that
again,
it
is
call
it
up
now
that,
yes,
now
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
you,
if
you're
on
a
monday
ride
you
get
picked
up
on
monday,
but
you
will
get
picked
up
by
tuesday
or
wednesday,
we're
servicing
every
house
in
columbus
on
a
seven-day
basis.
Now
every
house
is
on
that
seven-day
basis
and
that's
a
that's
a
big
accomplishment.
A
lot
of
that
was
the
contractor
came
on.
Amways
came
on
geared
up
very
quickly.
Did
a
great
job,
for
us
is
still
doing
a
great
job.
G
G
Besides
what
the
contractors
have
picked
up,
we're
still
behind
the
ccg
is
still
behind
and
that
that's
primarily
green
waste,
because
they're
not
picking
up
green
waste
because
of
the
weight.
I
get
that
they're
going
after
the
high
the
high
weight
high
value
items,
and
I
would
do
the
same
thing
like
I
said:
we've
still
got
a
tremendous
shortage
of
drivers
and
of
labor
in
every
other
division,
except
sanitation
with
14
drivers
short
as
of
today.
G
G
I
don't
have
anybody
supervising
because
we
got
we
got
them
all
driving
the
chart,
you're
looking
at
there's
our
daily
inmate
shortage.
If
you
take
out
what
we
need
for
sanitation,
we
just
took
this
out
of
the
equation
completely
and
that
the
the
orange
bar
across
the
top
is
what
we
need
every
day
somewhere
right.
Around
300
is
296,
actually
is
our
daily
average.
What
we
require,
what
we
need
and
we're
getting
about
75.,
so
you
can
see
that's
still
very,
very
painful
as
far
as
right
away
cutting
litter,
pickup
storm
drain
cleanouts.
G
Any
other
function
within
within
public
works
that
we
use
inmate
labor
for
which
is
almost
all
of
them.
We
are
still
a
couple
hundred
short
on
on
labor
and
that
hurts
that
does
hurt
we're.
You
know
we're
still
working
on
innovative
ways
to
get
caught
up,
but
I
appreciate
everybody's
patience
to
work
through
this,
because
it
is
tough,
I
I
reiterate
again:
14
drivers
short
all
other
positions.
Besides,
drivers
in
public
work
we're
44
people
short,
so
we
are
very
short
of
people
right
now.
We
can't
hire
people,
we
just
can't
hire
them.
E
We
have
the
no
charge
yard
waste
at
pine
grove.
Can
you
can
you
give
some
kind
of
a
ballpark
idea
about?
Has
this
increased
the
the
material
that
has
been
brought
in?
If
it
has?
Is
it
a
dramatic
increase
or
a
little
increase
or.
G
E
And
this
is
scheduled
to
remain
in
effect
until
the
end
of
the
month.
Do
we
need
to
think
about
extending
that
we.
G
We
are
thinking
about
that
now
we're
going
to
kind
of
continue
to
evaluate
that
tonnage
and
see
how
we
go
towards
the
end
of
the
month.
If
it
tails
off
or
not,
and
also
look
at
the
streets,
you
know
how
are
we
doing
are
we
have
we've
been
able
to
have
our
private
contractors
been
able
to
pick
this
up,
or
are
we
able
to
pick
it
up
and
we'll
evaluate
that,
but
yes,
ma'am,
we'll
certainly
re-evaluate
as
we
get
closer
to
the
end
of
the
month.
F
J
G
F
Think
that's
a
good
outlook
that
way
we
can
kind
of
track.
You
know
whether
or
not
not
whether
or
not,
but
how
quickly
we
are
kind
of
taking
those
tickets
down
and
also
thank
you,
because
somebody
called
me
today,
pastor
valerie
thompson
who
said
in
his
seat
called
me.
She
said.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councillor
tucker,
because
they
just
came
and
picked
it
up
and
they've
been
dumping
in
on
one
street.
I
got
a
hot
spot
where
they
dump
every
time
you
clean
it
up
within
days.
F
F
I
don't
advise
anybody
to
do
that,
but
he
went
in
the
trash
and
he
found
some
prescription.
F
F
Her
what
that
process
was,
but
the
lady
said
so
this
is
this-
was
something
that
happened.
It
was
a
senior
citizen.
She
paid
somebody
to
pick
up
the
trash
because
it
was
on
on
her
street
and
they
dumped
it.
Instead
of
just
driving
it
I
mean
we
live
in
district.
You
know
we
live
off
steaming
roads
yeah.
Instead
of
just
going
further
up
and
dumping
it,
you
don't
have
to
pay,
they
dumped
it
on
the
street
and
if.
K
K
F
Yeah,
so
that's
why
you
know
just
reiterating
what
counselor
thomas
said:
the
tip
and
fees
are
being
waived
until
september
30th.
We
are
looking
to
extend.
That
is
no
need
to
dump.
If
you
have
a
vehicle,
a
truck
take
it
to
the
dump,
it's
no
cost,
don't
dump
it
on
the
street,
the
energy
that
you
take
to
dump
it
on
the
street.
You
can
drive
less
than
two
miles
and
dump
it
at
the
city
landfill.
F
It
makes
no
sense
and
if
we
do
find
identification
or
something
that
pinpoints
who
dumped
it,
you
will
be
charging.
I
think,
see
the
manager.
What
what's
the
fine?
Is
it
a
thousand.
A
T
Thank
you
for
your
progress.
Would
it
help
you
if
say
if
people
were
putting
bulk
items
out
on
the
street,
to
call
3-1-1
and
and
let
them
know
that
it's
been
put
out
so
that
you
can
put
it
on
your
list.
G
K
Mayor
that
concludes
what
I
have
today.
Okay,
we
did
deputy
city
manager.
Goodwin
did
pass
out
the
powerpoint
on
the
comprehensive
camp
camera
project
with
projected
timelines
in
there.
I
think
council
tucker
had
asked
for
projected
tamil
and
so.
A
What
we'll
do,
at
the
request
of
the
council
we'll
go
ahead
and
and
go
into
executive
session,
and
once
we
come
out
if
we
could
give
yes
they're
they're
here,
they're
just
they're,
just
not
seated
but
we'll,
but
once
we
go
into
executive
session,
then
we'll
come
back
out
and
give
just
a
quick
synopsis.
A
A
All
right
there's
a
motion
to
go
an
executive
session
to
discuss
to
discuss
land
acquisition,
disposal
and
potential
litigation
all
right.
There's
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
post,
all
right
we're
in
executive
session
all
right.
We
we
were
in
executive
session,
we
discussed
potential
acquisition
of
land
and
potential
litigation,
no
votes
were
taken
and
we
are
going
to
have
a
very
quick
update.
Preliminary
update
on
the
camera
committee
and
we'll
have
the
the
the
full
presentation.
In
two
weeks,
deputy
manager.
AE
Okay,
thank
you.
Yes,
just
to
give
you
a
very
brief
preliminary
update
on
the
project
timeline
for
the
comprehensive
camera.
This
is
again
a
preliminary
timeline
that
we
have.
The
committee
met
first
on
august,
the
17th
the
committee,
of
course,
is
made
up
of
a
number
of
our
departments
and
those
that
have
cameras
within
their
departments
september.
The
ninth
we
met
with
our
camera
contractor
adaptosolve,
just
to
talk
about
the
the
needs
and
the
options
that
the
departments
are
looking
at
september,
the
13th
through
november,
the
1st.
AE
We
will
have
the
contractor
to
audit
all
of
the
cameras
and
make
a
recommendation
based
on
options
and
needs
that
was
discussed
in
that
meeting
with
those
departments.
On
november
the
2nd
we
will
have
the
contractor
to
present
the
findings
and
their
recommendations
back
to
the
committee
november
3rd.
Through
the
5th
there
will
be
a
departmental
review
of
those
recommendations
by
the
contractor
and
the
department,
then,
on
between
the
8th
and
the
9th
of
november.
AE
We'll
then
we'll
provide
feedback
from
the
department
representatives
back
to
the
contractor.
If
those,
if
that's
needed
november,
the
10th
through
the
11th,
we'll
communicate
the
department
review
if
needed
and
then
november,
the
11th
and
the
12th
we'll
discuss
the
recommendations
with
the
city
manager
and
the
finance
director,
we
will
look
if
all
goes
well.
If
he
concurs
november,
the
23rd
we
will
have
the
purchase
on
the
city
manager
agenda
for
council
approval.
Again.
AE
All
of
this
is
going
to
be
based
on
what
information
the
contractor
comes
back
with
we're,
looking
at
they're
they're,
taking
a
high
dive
on
every
camera
within
the
city,
internal
and
external,
and
so
we
hope
to
bring
that
back.
AE
Our
intent,
of
course,
is
to
make
sure
that
we
get
every
the
type
cameras
that
we
need
in
order
to
ensure
that
there
are.
There
are
no
missteps
making
sure
that
all
public
safety,
general
government,
all
of
our
departments,
have
what
we
need
to
make
sure
that
public
safety
can
access
those
cameras
whenever
they
need
to
and
then
of
course,
everything
is
networked
together.
So
that's
just.
A
A
Been
working
on
cameras,
I
know
for
a
year
and
a
half
and
of
course
the
big
struggle
initially
is
where
to
find
the
money
and
going
through
covet.
It
was
very
tough
to
obligate
funds
when
we
weren't
clear
whether
or
not
the
revenue
was
going
to
be
there
and
but
yeah
we've
we've
been,
we've
been
focusing
on
these
cameras
for
a
while
and
it's
a
big
job
trying
to
make
sure
you've
got
the
number
of
cameras
out
there
and
we
have
a
good
understanding
of
how
they're
interconnecting
and
how
they're
working.
A
So,
yes,
council,
tucker.
F
To
tell
you
thank
you
for
coming
back
with
the
timeline,
and
we
know
exactly
what
the
mayor
just
mentioned,
that
it's
important,
especially
with
you,
know
the
numbers
that
we
have
in
reference
to
our
law
enforcement
officers
and
the
incidents
that
we're
having
in
our
parks
that
this
is
going
to
be
and
also
the
dumping
that
we
mentioned.
Absolutely.
This
is
going
to
be
something
great
for
our
city
to
help
with
our
department,
heads.
AE
F
A
Uses,
I
think
I
think
I
don't
know
that
it's
going
to
prevent
criminal
activity,
but
it
will
certainly
help
us
to
resolve
those
issues
very
quickly
which
may
ultimately
be
a
deterrent
somewhere
down
the
road
all
right
and
before
we
leave
I
want
to.
I
want
to
ask
councillor
woodson
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
tri-city
latino
festival.
That's
occurring
this
saturday.
I
got
to
tell
you
if
you
haven't
been,
you
need
to
go.
This
is
a
as
she's
said
many
times.
It's
a
multicultural
event.
It's
not
just
to
celebrate
to
celebrate
latino
heritage.
A
L
L
This
festival
will
not
be
possible
without
your
support
and
the
support
of
some
of
my
colleagues
huff
judy
john
for
supporting
the
festival,
it's
very
important
to
us,
but
the
reason
the
mayor
wanted
me
to
go
through.
It
is
because
we're
doing
something
very
unique.
This
year
we
will
have
a
job
fair.
The
city
of
columbus
will
have
a
job
fair
at
the
tri-city
latino
festival.
There
are
so
many
people
needing
jobs.
L
L
L
It
starts
at
noon.
L
The
opening
ceremony,
which
the
mayor
fort
benning
and
phoenix
city
will
be
speaking
that
will
be
at
two
o'clock
and
then
from
noon
to
12
is
spanish
and
english
music
and
then,
after
five
o'clock,
I'm
sorry
from
12
to
5
is
spanish
and
english,
music,
local
artists
and
and
dancers
performers
of
different
countries
and
stuff,
and
then
after
five
will
be
latin
artisans
that
have
won
grammy
before
this
year,
we're
doing
a
big
event
for
the
mexican
community.
L
L
All
in
tear,
because
you
know
mayor,
sometimes
I
don't
think
you
realize
your
your
words-
how
they
touch
people,
because
at
the
conference,
as
you
spoke,
I
saw
how
people
were
looking
at
each
other
and
looking
at
you
how
unity
is
such
important
to
you
and
we
couldn't
be
where
we
are.
If
it
wasn't
for
you,
I
truly
appreciate
it.
Lisa
you're,
the
angel
you're,
the
godmother
of
the
festival,
you've
always
been,
and
you
always
will
be.
Thank
you.
F
I
just
wanted
to
tell
counselor
woodson
thank
you
for
bringing
this
cultural
event
in
with
both
of
us
being
military
and
being
stationed
overseas,
and
we
know
the
importance
of
this
and
how
it
does.
The
diversity
brings
us
together
and
then
I
just
want
to
say,
happy
his
hispanic
heritage
month
as
well,
which
officially
kicks
off
tomorrow.
Yesterday.
S
A
F
A
All
right,
any
further
business
needs
to
come
before
the
council
entertain.
A
motion
to
adjourn
motion.
Second
adjourn
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
We
stand
adjourned.
