A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
June
23rd
City
Council
meeting
once
again,
we
are
in
the
Columbus
Civic
Center,
as
we
continue
to
socially
distance
ourselves
and
make
sure
that
the
public
has
access
to
their
elected
officials
and
a
safe
as
safe,
a
manner
as
possible.
We're
going
to
begin,
as
we
always
do
with
a
prayer
and
I'd
like
to
call
on
councilor
Valerie
Thompson
to
please
invoke
God's
blessings
for
us.
Thank
you.
B
Let
us
pray
dear
wise
and
loving
father.
First,
let
me
say
thank
you
on
behalf
of
all
who
are
gathered
here
today
by
the
God.
We
thank
you
for
your
many
and
abundant
blessings.
Thank
you
for
life
itself,
for
the
measure
of
health
that
we
have
by
the
God
that
we
need
to
fulfill
our
calling.
Therefore,
God
I
pray
for
our
mayor
and
our
city
manager,
father.
We
pray
for
the
various
levels
of
city
officials
and,
in
particular,
for
this
assemble
council.
B
I
am
asking
that
you
were
graciously
grant
us
wisdom
to
govern
amid
the
conflict
and
interest
in
issues
of
our
time.
God
give
us
a
sense
of
wellness
and
true
needs
of
our
people,
a
king
thirst
for
justice
and
righteousness,
and
the
ability
to
work
together
in
harmony.
Even
when
there
is
honest
disagreement,
father
God,
I
pray
for
the
agenda
set
before
us
today.
Please
give
an
assurance
of
what
would
please
you
and
what
would
benefit
those
who
live
and
work
and
around
our
beloved
city
that
we
call
Columbus
Georgia
father
God.
A
A
A
D
D
Thank
you
again
for
this
opportunity
and
mental
health
is
part
of
our
overall
health
and
wellness
and
I
wanted
to
reiterate
during
this
time
of
the
kovat
pandemic,
when
people
are
experiencing
heightened
levels
of
stress,
fear
and
anxiety
that
it's
important
to
know
the
signs
and
symptoms
of
mental
illness
to
know
what
the
resources
are
locally
nationally
and
regionally,
and
also
to
inform
you
as
local
policymakers
around
the
impact
you
can
have
locally
on
mental
health.
Mental
health
is
health
and
wellness.
D
There
is
no
health
without
mental
health
and
during
this
time
of
the
kovat
pandemic,
there
is
a
need
for
integrated
health
care.
Over
the
past
three
years,
there
has
been
a
steady
decline
in
the
life
expectancy
of
Americans.
This
is
the
longest
life
expensive
expectancy
decline
since
1915
through
1918,
when
we
were
fighting
in
World
War
one
and
when
we
had
the
spanish
pandemic.
So,
for
three
years,
our
life
expectancy,
as
americans
has
gone
down.
D
Public
health
officials
attribute
this
to
arise
in
what
we
call
the
diseases
of
despair
arise
in
drug
overdoses,
an
increase
in
liver
disease,
including
livers
that
are
affected
by
abuse
of
alcohol
and
other
drugs,
as
well
as
hepatitis,
C
and
a
rise
in
suicide
rates.
These
are
the
diseases
of
despair,
and
these
are
going
to
be
perpetuated
by
the
stress
and
anxiety
that
we're
living
through
this
coded
pandemic
and
not
just
the
co2
pandemic
itself.
D
The
covered
pandemic
has
probably
affected
over
a
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
Americans
with
loss
of
life.
Since
we
started
tracking
the
disease
in
February.
So
it's
had
a
severe
impact
on
us.
It's
devastating
to
our
country
and
community.
Look
at
how
it's
impacted
just
the
way
we
meet
as
officials
and
policymakers
and
citizens
we're
having
to
six
feet
apart
and
wear
masks.
D
So
the
impact
on
our
lives
is
really
tremendous
and
we
need
to
prepare
our
health
system,
which
includes
our
mental
health
system,
for
the
possibility
of
a
rising
tide
of
illness
and
death
from
these
diseases
of
despair
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
which
are
already
taking
a
toll
on
our
lives.
Although
the
exact
number
is
currently
unknown
for
people
that
are
facing
anxiety
as
a
result
of
fear,
social,
distancing,
etc,
we
can
ascertain
that
it's
impacting
more
people
than
the
virus
itself.
All
of
our
children
are
out
of
school.
All
of
us
had
to
shut
down.
D
All
of
us
are
wearing
masks
and
social
distancing
as
the
economy
continues
its
descent
into
recession.
Many
more
people
will
experience
the
symptoms
of
mental
illness
that
come
with
that
despair
of
not
being
able
to
work
not
being
able
to
pay
your
bills.
The
housing
instability
and
the
ripple
effects
that
that
caused
as
the
stimulus
payments
end
and
many
people
and
businesses
don't
rebound.
We
may
see
more
people
suffering
these
consequences,
and
last
time
I
spoke
to
you.
I
talked
about
the
ripple
effect
that
these
consequences
have
family
dysfunction.
D
Child
abuse,
domestic
violence,
involvement
with
the
juvenile
justice
system
system,
involvement
with
the
criminal
justice
system,
the
economic
instability
of
not
being
able
to
hold
a
job
because
of
anxiety
or
depression,
or
possibly,
substance,
abuse
brought
on
by
stress
and
anxiety,
and
also
the
housing
instability
that
can
go
along
with
it.
So
it
not
only
impacts
our
physical
health,
but
it
affects
the
health
of
our
is
also
when
we
think
of
some
of
these
things
that
are
considered
social
ills.
They
may
have
their
roots
in
untreated
mental
illness
or
addictive
disease.
D
Some
individuals,
during
this
time
of
stress
and
anxiety,
may
turn
to
unhealthy
coping
mechanisms
such
as
alcohol
or
abuse.
They
may
abuse
prescription
drugs
they
may
do
a
combination
of
prescription,
drugs
and
alcohol,
and
some
individuals
that
have
been
in
recovery
may
relapse
putting
them
at
higher
risk
for
overdose
death.
It's
well
known
in
the
substance
abuse
addiction
community
that
individuals
that
have
been
in
recovery
for
a
long
time
when
they
do
relapse,
they
are
at
higher
risk
for
death
from
overdose.
D
Now,
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
understand
that
mental
health
is
part
of
our
overall
health
and
well-being.
As
I
said
earlier,
there
is
no
health
without
mental
health.
Integrated
health
care
is
the
approach
to
whole
person,
health,
where
we
look
at
not
just
the
physical
health,
but
our
mental
health
and
well-being
and
substance
abuse
treatment
all
in
one
location
because
we're
one
body
we're
one
integrated
system
working
together
and
we
need
to
be
treated
that
way
by
our
health
care
community.
Also.
D
D
So
it
ties
into
everything,
major
depressive
disorder,
substance,
abuse,
alcohol
abuse,
psychotic
disorders,
those
all
have
a
major
impact
on
quality
of
ninth
life,
not
just
longevity,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
the
top
10
causes
of
death
for
Americans
include
number
three
accidental
deaths,
which
includes
those
overdose
deaths
which
are
considered
accidental
and
number
10,
which
is
suicide
for
adults.
I
talked
to
you
before
about
suicide,
for
children
in
the
state
of
Georgia.
D
D
It
looks
at
your
primary
care.
Physician,
your
psychiatrist,
your
counselor,
your
nurse,
your
pharmacist,
all
working
together
to
maintain
your
overall
vital
health
and
well-being,
and
just
as
if
you
would
see
your
primary
care
physician
and
he's
giving
you
medication
for
diabetes.
There
are
things
you
have
to
do
in
conjunction
with
that
medication
things
we
probably
don't
like
to
do
like
diet
and
exercise,
but
you
can't
rely
on
the
medication
alone.
D
Some
of
those
things
that
a
therapist
can
help
you
work
through
so
I'm
asking
you
to
fully
integrate
mental
health
into
your
personal
wellness
and
that's
three
major
steps
that
I'm
asking
you
to
do
know
the
signs
and
symptoms
reduce
the
stigma
around
mental
health
and
addictive
disease
and
decrease
barriers
to
treatment.
We
all
know
the
signs
and
the
symptoms
of
heart,
attack
or
stroke
if
you're
watching
a
movie-
and
you
see
somebody
grab
their
arm.
You
know
Oh
heart
attack
or
if
somebody
starts
a
experiencing
paralysis
on
one
side
of
their
face.
D
You
know
Oh
stroke.
We
need
to
know
those
signs
and
symptoms
around
mental
health,
around
anxiety,
depression,
etc.
New,
Horizons,
behavioral
health
has
partnered
with
BBH
DeeDee,
that's
the
Georgia
Department
of
Behavioral
Health
and
developmental
disabilities
to
bring
free
mental
health
awareness
trainings
to
our
community.
These
trainings
are
now
being
offered
virtually
through
November
and
they
include
youth,
mental
health,
first
aid,
Mental
Health,
First,
Aid
and
QPR,
which
is
question,
persuade
and
refer
a
90-minute
class
that
teaches
you
the
signs
and
symptoms
of
suicide
awareness
and
helps
us
combat
this
number.
D
Ten
leading
cause
of
death
for
adults
in
the
United
States.
You
can
invite
a
speaker
to
a
group,
your
faith
work
church
to
talk
about
mental
health.
You
can
call
me
anytime,
I,
love
talking,
I'd,
be
glad
to
come
and
talk
about
the
issues
and
attend
a
support.
Group
meeting.
Nami
Columbus
is
a
very
active
group
and
they
work
with
families
and
around
mental
health
when
somebody's
diagnosed
and
can
help
them
through
the
system,
because
sometimes
it
can
be
complicated.
D
So,
let's
do
a
little
cove
in
mental
health
check
in
anxiety
is
a
normal
response
to
a
stressful
situation.
If
you
didn't
feel
anxious
with
all
this
going
on,
I
would
kind
of
wonder
what's
going
on
with
you,
because
it
is
a
reason
to
feel
anxious.
But
while
this
anxiety
can
be
prolonged,
it
can
take
an
impact
on
our
body,
and
some
of
us
have
been
dealing
with
this
anxiety
and
stress
since
february
march,
around
Kovach,
and
it
doesn't
look
like
it's
going
away
anytime
soon.
D
So
we're
gonna
have
prolonged
anxiety
that
we're
dealing
with
most
people
feel
sad
or
depressed.
In
times
again
it's
a
normal
reaction
to
life's
loss
and
struggle.
But
when
you
start
having
prolonged
feelings
of
self-worth,
lessness
hopelessness
for
maybe
days
or
weeks,
it
may
be
more
than
sadness,
it
may
be
clinical
depression
and
both
anxiety
and
depression
are
treatable
medical
conditions.
I
want
to
get
that
across
to
you.
There
are
treatable
medical
conditions,
some
of
the
signs
and
symptoms
for
anxiety
and
depression
overlap.
D
One
of
the
most
common
ones
would
be
sleep,
disrupt
disruption
depressed,
and
you
may
find
yourself
sleeping
more,
not
wanting
to
wake
up
in
the
morning
anxiety.
You
may
find
that
you
can
get
to
sleep,
but
you
can
only
sleep
for
a
couple
of
hours
at
a
time,
so
excessive
sleep
disrupted
sleep.
These
are
signs
of
common
signs
of
anxiety
and
depression
depression.
You
could
again
have
those
extreme
feelings
of
sadness,
maybe
crying
for
no
time
with
anxiety,
maybe
extremely
fearful.
D
D
So
most
people
think
of
trauma,
as
maybe
physical
abuse
or
seeing
something
awful,
but
a
house
fire.
The
pandemic
that
we're
experiencing
these
are
forms
of
trauma.
Our
children
have
been
pulled
out
of
school
are
now
dealing
with
online
classes
and
some
instances
they're
having
their
social
network
taken
away
from
them.
So
they're
experienced
a
form
of
trauma
themselves.
D
You
may
notice
different
signs
and
symptoms
and
children
as
related
to
trauma,
so
a
younger
child,
maybe
is
crying
more
or
has
reverted
in
some
behaviors
that
they
have
progressed
through.
Maybe
children
have
started
a
bedwetting
again
or
thumb-sucking,
or
children
or
smaller
children
were
becoming
excessive
clingy.
These
are
signs
that
the
child
has
experienced
some
type
of
trauma.
Our
older
teens
and
middle
schoolers,
teens
and
tweens
they're,
going
to
display
signs
of
trauma
in
different
ways.
They
may
pull
back
social
isolating.
D
They
may
not
find
joy
in
the
things
that
they
used
to
find
so
it's
important
as
family
members,
parents,
caregivers,
that
we
know
the
signs
and
symptoms
and
our
children
also
and
can
get
them
to
talk
about
the
feelings
that
they're
going
through
and
maybe
talk
to
your
pediatrician
primary
care
physician
about
what
they're
happening.
The
second
thing
around
mental
health
that
I
wanted
you
to
do
was
to
reduce
the
stigma
around
mental
health
and
addictive
disease.
D
I've
been
talking
over
a
year
now
about
conversations
of
courage,
because
sometimes
it
does
take
courage
to
talk
about
our
mental
health
or
a
family
member's
mental
health.
But
we
need
to
have
the
conversation
we
need
to
normalize
the
Congress
and
we
need
to
welcome
the
conversation.
I
don't
want
to
reveal
my
age
but
I'm,
a
child
of
the
60s
and
I.
Remember
people
talking
in
hushed
tones
when
somebody
had
a
diagnosis
of
cancer.
Sometimes
they
wouldn't
even
say
cancer.
D
They
just
say
the
c-word,
so
the
advocates
around
cancer
have
done
a
great
job
in
normalizing
the
conversation
we
talk
now
about
our
treatments.
People
are
happy
to
ring
the
bell
and
it's
on
Facebook
and
we've
made
so
much
progress
in
the
treatment
around
cancer.
We
need
to
do
the
same
thing
around
mental
health.
We
need
to
normalize.
D
The
conversation
have
the
conversation
and
welcome
the
conversation,
and
the
last
thing
I'm
asking
folks
to
do
is
decrease
the
barriers
to
mental
health
services,
and
this
is
where
you
as
policymakers,
come
into
play:
access
and
availability
to
services,
cost
and
transportation,
integrated
health
care
that
mind
body
and
soul,
physical
health,
mental
health
and
addictive
disease
treatment
works.
It
is
an
effective
treatment
for
the
overall
wellness
of
an
individual,
but
we
need
to
reduce
the
barriers
so
that
individuals
can
receive
treatment.
D
New
Horizons
has
partnered
with
Tree
of
Life
and
between
the
two
agencies
we
treat
over
1500
individuals,
whole
individuals,
their
mental
health
and
their
physical
health,
which
is
very
important
during
this
time
of
kovat.
Our
partnership
is
a
strong
and
thriving,
and
we
want
to
let
you
know
that
integrated
healthcare
is
the
answer
for
overall
health
and
well-being,
especially
in
this
time
when
our
mental
health
is
going
to
be
challenged
for
the
next
few
months
or
some
maybe
longer
I,
don't
have
a
crystal
ball.
D
Our
integrated
health
care
is
addressing
both
physical
and
mental
health
needs
from
Kovach
19
simultaneously
and
seamlessly,
but
we
need
your
support.
Support.
New
Horizons
behavioral
health
is
part
of
the
state
mental
health
safety
net
and,
like
all
state
and
in
agencies,
we've
been
asked
to
decrease
our
budget
by
11
percent.
It's
across
all
departments
and
it's
looming
so
most
certainly
we're
going
to
see
an
impact
on
the
availability
of
local
mental
health
services
and
addictive
disease
treatment.
D
There
are
state
local
and
national
resources
available.
We
do
have
the
emotional
support
line
that
the
state
of
Georgia
had
operates.
It's
available
from
8
a.m.
to
11
a.m.
for
somebody
that
may
just
want
to
talk
during
this
time
of
social
anxiety,
social
distancing,
there's
also
the
Georgia
crisis
and
access
line.
If
somebody
is
in
a
mental
health
or
addiction
crisis,
you
can
call
the
Georgia
crisis
access
line
365
days
a
year
24
hours
a
day.
The
crisis
line
is
staffed
by
mental
health
professionals.
D
The
SAMHSA's
suicide
prevention
line
is
available,
there's
also
the
Veterans
Crisis
Line,
because
sometimes
our
veterans
have
different
needs
than
the
general
population.
You
know
individuals
that
have
been
to
war
that
had
that
military
mindset
have
different
needs
and
may
feel
more
comfortable.
Speaking
to
somebody
that
has
a
military
background,
there's
also
two
one
one:
the
United
Way,
our
local
chapter
has
a
very
generous

D
E
Sir,
we
want
to
thank
you
mayor
for
having
us
these
sort
of
events
and
productions
also
help
to
reduce
stigma.
One
in
five
of
us
here
in
this
room
will
suffer
at
some
point
in
time
from
some
sort
of
mental
illness.
So
we
want
to
thank
you
for
your,
allowing
us
to
have
a
conversation
of
courage
around
mental
health.
Yes,.
F
Do
you
have
anything,
thank
you
all
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
today,
and
it
is
extremely
important
that
we
understand
the
integrated
health
care
is
really
working
and
it's
important
that
we
exchange
in
patience
already
and,
and
so
the
model
is
good
and
again
thank
you,
for
we
won't
do
not
city
and
thinking,
therefore,
Peninsula
agenda
to
bring
attention
to
this
issue.
Thank.
A
You,
sir
Susan
thank
you
and
actually
I
invited
them
to
be
kind
of
my
up
covin
update
because
it
this
pandemic
has
been
going
on
a
long
time
and
people
are
confused
or
frustrated.
They're
scared,
they're,
they're,
becoming
kind
of
committed
to
not
following
the
guidelines
because
of
their
frustration
and
I.
Think
it's
important
for
them
to
understand
it's
okay,
to
feel
the
way
they
do,
but
they
still
have
to
continue
to
try
to
help
us
contain
the
spread
of
this
virus,
we're
up
to
1213
positive
cases
in
Columbus.
A
We've
lost
34
residents
from
this
Cote
County
to
this
virus
and
we're
hearing
people
clamoring
for
access
to
more
facilities,
and
then
we
hear
of
an
individual
and
another
facility
that
that
whole
area
is
having
a
quarantine
because
they
they've
had
two
people
come
down
with
with
the
virus.
So
we
are
as
visca
a
girl
or
not
we're
not
through
this
thing.
We
need
everybody
to
pitch
in
and
do
their
part
and
and
to
monitor
their
distance.
A
G
Mr.
Mathers
want
to
thank
you
for
really
sinking
forward
many
here
in
the
community.
All
the
other
communities
are
cognizant
of
the
physical
effects
of
COBIT,
not
realizing
their
myriad
emotional
pressures
and
stresses,
and
so
just
allowing
them
to
come
to.
Let
them
know
it's
normal
to
feel
those
things
a
lot
of
people.
They
don't
know
how
to
react.
They
don't
know
what
anxiety
the
different
forms
of
anxiety
and
depression
so
allowing
them
to
come
and
to
let
everyone
know
it's
normal.
It's
a
normal
expression
and
its
many
helps
that
they
can
see.
G
A
A
We
had
a
few
more
a
few,
a
little
bit
more
time,
that's
been
granted
across
the
country
to
be
able
to
get
an
accurate
count
and
we're
still
lagging
behind
so
right
now,
if
you,
if
you
have
not,
if
you
have
not
been
counted,
go
to
2020
census,
not
gov
and
get
it
done,
and
next
I
want
to
bring
up
number
of
the
first
item
on
the
city
manager's
agenda
and
turn
it
over
to
mr.
hubely.
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
good
morning
to
you
and
the
members
of
council
I,
am
pleased
to
bring
forward
mr.
Robert
Landers,
as
my
choice
to
feel
the
position
director
of
the
Columbus
Civic
Center.
Mr.
Landers
is
present
this
morning
and
he
is
accompanied
by
his
wife
and
four
children,
so
miss
Landers.
Please
come
forward
to
the
podium
and
you
can
bring
your
family
if
you
would
like
to
bring
them.
I
know
that
your
wife
stepped
out
in
it
may
be
beyond
your
control
with
your
little
ones.
This.
I
H
Mayor
and
council,
mr.
Landers
has
been
thoroughly
vetted
and
highly
recommended
by
my
selection
team,
composed
of
deputy
city
managers,
Lisa
Goodwin
and
Pam
Hodge,
the
finance
director
Angelica
Alexander,
and
our
HR
director
Rita
Holloway,
oh
and
I,
see
that
he
has
members
of
the
Civic
Center
team
who
have
gathered
behind
him
and
I.
Think
that's
a
good
thing
this
morning,
but
mr.
Landers
selection
is
based
on
a
proven
record
of
performance.
H
H
He
has
successfully
managed
budgets
exceeding
twenty
five
million
dollars.
His
emphasis
has
been
the
area
of
revenue,
enhancements
and
spectator
experience
with
Rob.
We
expect
to
see
a
strong
emphasis
on
creating
a
world-class
venue
while
ensuring
and
created
in
that
red
carpet
experience.
We
expect
to
see
public-private
partnerships
and
increased
attendance
at
events,
Rob's
knowledge
background
and
experience
in
venue
management
provides
for
a
good
transition
for
the
Columbus
Civic
Center
I
believe
he
will
be
a
good
fit
for
our
community.
H
Walt
was
born
and
raised
in
st.
Louis
Missouri.
He
is
a
graduate
of
the
University
of
Kansas,
where
he
earned
a
bachelor's
degree
in
sports
management.
It's
currently
on
target
to
receive
a
master's
degree
in
December
2020
from
University
of
West
Alabama
in
business
administration.
He
has
been
married
to
his
wife
who's
standing
beside
him,
IRISA
Landers
for
five
years.
They
have
three
children,
as
you
can
see,
and
so
mayor
and
council
I
want
you
to
know
that
I'm
confident
that
Rob
will
provide
the
continuity,
stability,
progress
and
improvement.
H
A
I
I
Obviously,
my
family
is
an
integral
part
to
my
success
and
my
goal
is
to
make
Columbus
my
family
as
well,
and
with
that
being
said,
every
event
that
we
would
do
we're
gonna,
do
it
safely
and
we're
gonna
do
it
with
the
world-class
experience
my
goal
is
to,
and
every
position
I've
been
is
to
lead
by
example,
and
definitely
want
to
get
to
know
the
staff,
the
city
and
do
whatever
I
can
to
commit
to
the
city
to
help.
This
help
us
to
running
a
successful
event
in
civic
center.
J
J
Okay
but
I,
thank
you
for
being
here.
Some
of
the
brothers
wanted
to
be
here
this
morning,
but
they
were
tied
up
due
to
working
from
home
and
different
things
that
are
going
on,
but
we
will
officially
welcome
you
here
to
the
city
and
we
thank
you.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
the
Bible
was
very
impressive.
So
during
these
times
to
cope
in
nineteen,
look
forward
to
see
the
out-of-the-box
thinking
that
you'll
have
to
do
to
make
this
work,
which
I
appreciate
you
welcome
to
Columbus.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
Mr.
A
Landers,
we
are
we're
thrilled
to
have
you
and
your
beautiful
family
here
in
our
community,
and
we
are
extremely
excited
about
about
you.
Joining
the
Civic,
Center
family
and
I
can
tell
with
all
of
the
ones
that
are
here
present.
They
they
feel
the
same
way.
We
expect
great
things,
and
we
want
you
to
know
that
if
there's
anything
that
any
of
us
can
do
to
help
you
in
your
endeavors,
you
will
reach
out
through
the
city
manager
and
just
let
us
know
thank.
A
K
A
K
A
K
A
K
A
K
A
K

L
A
K

M
M
It's
significant
and
I'm
a
person
who
came
of
age
in
the
Black
Power
movement
in
the
60s
when
everything
was
in
motion-
and
we
thought
that
the
revolution
what's
right
around
the
corner.
Well,
I
can
tell
you
what's
happening
now,
it's
more
significant
than
anything
I've
seen
in
terms
of
the
awareness
of
people
to
not
just
say
I'm,
that
racist,
but
to
say
I
am
anti-racist
which
is
really
key.
And
mr.
mayor,
you
took
office
in
January
of
2019,
so
you're,
not
quite
halfway
through
your
first
term
and
I.
M
Think
citizens
are
obligated
to
give
you
feedback,
because
when
people
are
in
power
in
government
you
can
be
an
oppressive
adversary,
type
person
or
you
can
be
a
public
servant
or
a
public
leader.
Sir.
Neither
I
really
appreciate
miss
Browder
speaking
with
me,
so
we
can
understand
more
about
what
happened
when
an
event
that
was
planned
by
some
young
folks.
In
Columbus
for
duty,
what's
counsel,
there
may
be
some
more
details
that
I
don't
know
but
I
think
you're
obligated
mr.
M
mayor
to
know
what
is
the
Akili
Society
and
who
is
Christie
Holmes,
because
those
are
the
people
who
are
putting
it
and
I
know
there
was
a
reaction
as
Miss
Browder
explained
it
to
me.
Someone
came
to
parks
and
recs
and
said:
do
you
know
about
this?
That's
happening.
That's
on
Facebook!
Well,
I
can
tell
you
mr.
mayor
I'm
on
Facebook,
big
time.
You
know
Facebook.
Since
2008.
M
This
group
has
been
on
Facebook
less
than
five
years,
and
so
you
can't
believe
what
you
see
on
Facebook
about
how
big
something
is
gonna
be
the
Akili
Society
has
two
groups
on
Facebook:
one
has
65
members
and
one
has
23
members.
So
if
20
people
were
gonna
show
up
in
Park
on
that
day,
that
was
of
which
that
I
think
really
one.
M
If
I
were
you
what
I
would've
done,
I
would've
taken
a
detail
to
the
park
couple
of
Deputies
city
manager,
deputy
city
manager,
Goodman
and
I
would
have
tried
to
see
who
are
these
people
organizing
this?
In
my
town
and
if
you
felt
the
need
to
have
that
see
sentence,
it's
ordered
in
your
pocket
because
you
might
have
to
use
it
then
you
could
have
used,
but
you
want
to
meet
me
to
any
something
30-something
euro
folks,
because
you
support
reentry
some
of
these
folks
involved
in
this
they're
returning
citizens.
M
A
A
We
we
weren't
made
aware
that
I
was
not
made
aware
of
this
until
I.
Don't
think
the
city
manager
was
either
until
that
evening
and
we
would
love
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
them
and
help
them
go
through
the
proper
process
and
set
up
another
event
in
the
future
and
I'm
all
I'm
gonna.
Well
right,
we've
got
one
more
person
on
the
public
agenda,
then
I'm
gonna
go
to
the
city
manager.
A
A
She
didn't
I
believe
the
mother
did
all
the
work,
but
she's
gonna
be
getting
a
lot
of
the
benefit
as
a
grandparent,
so
she
was
not
able
to
be
here
today.
Next
is
miss
Gabrielle
Hall,
representing
family
reconstruction
regarding
implementation
of
community
policing
and
police
community
outreach
and
how
it
will
benefit
the
community
in
the
local
police
department.
M
A
N
Right,
first
and
foremost,
I
do
want
to
thank
everyone
for
allowing
me
to
come
today.
Unsteady
Council
in
May
I
am
Gabriel
Hall
representing
family
reconstruction
in
district
3
address
7,
747,
Weston
Road,
a
nationwide
police
and
community
aggression
is
growing
increasingly
everyday
and
we
aren't
getting
closer
to
Brett
Nephi
Annette
I
am
here
to
discuss
a
solution
to
this
controversial
issue
here
in
this
city
by
implementing
community
police
and
outreach
with
anthem,
Police
Department
can
resolve
many
issues
they
are
relevant
today.
N
N
Implementing
community
outreach
allows
the
community
to
know
who
is
working
in
their
their
neighborhood
and
building
relationships
with
the
policeman
law
enforcers
through
a
9
crisis.
Interaction
I
am
NOT
motioning
to
define
that
the
police
department,
but
to
reform
the
budget.
So
more
money
can
be
spent
to
increase
police,
Lightning's,
trance
and
non-hostile
engagement.
These
strategies
can
also
increase
job
satisfaction,
the
perception
of
police
and
openness
and
decrease
burnout,
improve
retention
and
minimize
police
depression
because
caused
by
harsh
realities
that
police
are
facing
in
and
in
on
a
daily
basis.
J
A
The
record
I
think
your
you
hit
on
something
very,
very
important
and
that's
something
that
we've
advocated
we're
gonna
continue
to
advocate.
So
I
will
reach
out
to
you
for
your
ideas,
because
the
more
that
the
Police
Department
can
communicate
with
the
public
I
think
the
more
we
can
make
sure
that
both
parties
feel
safe
and
that's
the
that's
the
core
mission
when,
when
having
any
interaction,
because
it
just
makes
it
safer
for
the
police
officer
and
it
makes
it
safer
for
the
individual.
O
A
That's
a
mission
or
excuse
me,
that's
an
objective
of
our
Police
Department
is
to
get
into
the
communities,
get
to
know
the
people
give
a
car
get
out
of
cars,
walk
the
neighborhoods
and,
quite
frankly,
because
of
a
myriad
of
issues
some
of
its
funding,
but
but
a
lot
of
it
is
a
changing
workforce.
It's
we
have
not
gotten
our
Police,
Department
I.
A
Think
right
now,
and/or,
the
chief
is
last
I
heard
it
was
about
84
officers
short,
so
we're
continuing
to
try
to
get
those
up,
but
I
will
reach
out
to
you
and
we'll
talk
about
your
ideas,
because
I
happen
to
believe.
In
the
same
thing,
we've
got
to
get
them.
Communicating
talking,
make
the
make
the
community
feel
comfortable
and
that's
gonna
make
the
police
officers
safer
as
well.
Thank.
J
You
mayor
I
miss
all
thank
you
for
being
here
this
morning,
I'd
like
to
request
through
the
mayor
that
we
get
together
the
mayor
to
see
the
manager
yourself,
the
police,
chief
and
anybody
else
that
needs
to
be
in
city.
Counselors
is
something
that's
been
talked
about
for
a
few
years,
but,
like
he
mentioned
that
we
are
understaffed
at
this
point,
but
take
time
to
reach
out
to
the
mayor,
I'll
reach
back
out
to
him
to
make
sure
that
we
can
sit
down
and
discuss
how
maybe
we
can
get
it
started.
J
It's
been
something
that
I've
thought
about
for
maybe
four
five
years
now,
it's
something
that
I
saw
when
I
was
growing
up
as
a
child,
and
we
knew
countess
order
who
was
in
the
neighborhood
from
time
to
time,
and
once
you
get
comfortable,
there's
a
better
relationship
with
the
police
department.
The
officers
in
the
neighborhood
there's
better
information
to
share
in
order
to
keep
everything
safe.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
I'm
going
to
follow
up
with
you.
Thank.
A
H
H
Her
Juneteenth
was
canceled
I've
heard
there
was
a
cease
and
desist
order
and
I
just
kind
of
want
to
get
some
facts
out
on
the
table
and-
and
let
me
just
say
that
I
didn't
know.
This
elemen
was
on
the
agenda
to
speak
about
Juneteenth
I
learned
late
yesterday,
but
I
had
already
asked
staff
to
put
together
a
PowerPoint
that
I
refer
to
as
a
rapid-fire.
H
H
That's
out
there
about
how
to
rent
or
reserve
city
facilities,
and
so
I
requested
that
you
allow
me
to
bring
it
up.
After
hearing
miss
elemen
speak
to
Juneteenth
cancellation,
and/or,
cease
and
desist
order.
That
is
directed
as
it
came
from
you
and
so
I
do
want
to
clear
the
organization
structure
for
one
Parks
and
Rec
director
and
the
ports
and
Rec
Department
falls
under
deputy
city
manager,
Lisa
Goodwin,
and
for
those
who
don't
know
her
I'm
going
to
ask
her
to
stay
in.
H
That's
deputy
city
manager,
Lisa
Goodwin.
Now
she
reports
to
me
and
so
on.
Friday
some
way
around
three
340
or
so
I
received
a
call
from
Parks
and
Rec
director
Holly
Ryder,
and
it
was
a
conference
call
with
the
deputy
city
manager,
her
balls
on
that
call,
and
they
wanted
to
bring
to
my
attention
a
block
party.
That's
been
around
on
Facebook
that
would
be
occurring
at
Rigden
Park.
H
Of
course,
I
was
not
aware
of
it.
I'm
on
Facebook,
but
I
had
not
seen
it
and
I
had
them
to
explain
the
facts
and
the
Tamland
to
me
about
this
block
party
and
I
wanted
to
have
the
answer
to
a
number
of
questions
now
how
their
brother
could
not
be
here
today,
but
the
assistant
director
is
here
and
and
and
just
allow
me
to
get
the
facts
on
the
table
and
clarify
the
matter
mayor
I
would
ask
that
you
and
council
indulge
me
for
just
a
few
minutes,
because
I
have
a
few
questions.
H
As
my
wife
as
a
member
of
athlete,
Kappa
Alpha
Sorority,
they
have
a
Juneteenth
event
at
the
Trade
Center
that
they
doing
since
2003,
that's
17
years
and
I
believe
I've
attended
every
one
of
those
Juneteenth
events
and
I
see
some
in
the
room
who
have
attended
the
Juneteenth
event
and
I
see
some
who
have
not
attended
the
Juneteenth
event.
But
for
those
who
don't
know
about
that
event,
you're
in
Columbus
at
the
Trade
Center,
that's
been
there
for
the
last
17
years.
H
It's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
dress
in
our
genes
and
western
wear
our
boots
and
with
your
Western
cap
we
call
them
the
cowboy
caps
some
of
us,
but
we
dress
up
and
I've
been
doing
it
for
17
years.
Now.
That's
an
only
Juneteenth
event
that
I
know
about
in
this
town
over
the
last
17
years,
because
I
go
every
year
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
recognize
at
the
aka
sorority
Juneteenth
event,
but
we
recognize
honor
and
respect
Juneteenth.
H
Now
you
know,
and
in
cost
my
church
I'll
say
this-
has
its
annual
picnic
at
Shirley
Weston
every
year,
franchise,
Missionary
Baptist
Church
this
year,
when
we
are
going
to
have
that
picnic,
I
call
Parks
and
Rec
because
they
charge
me
with
the
responsibility,
I
call
Parks
and
Rec.
They
always
emailed
me
an
application
to
complete
I,
complete
that
application
and
send
it
back
to
parts
and
read,
and
then
they
tell
me
what
deposit
or
payment
is
going
to
be
and
I
have
my
church
to
send
the
check
to
Parks
and
Rec.
H
So
we
rent,
we
reserve,
we
pay
to
use
Shirley
Winston
every
year.
So
when
I,
you
called
me,
you
not
you,
but
your
director
I
asked
you.
Of
course.
We
know
that
we're
not
having
large
events
at
the
parks
or
facilities
right
now
because
of
Kovac
19,
we're
not
having
them
at
or
in
the
parts.
So
I
asked
you
was
the
facility
rented
or
reserved,
and
yes,.
P
H
P
P
The
Thursday
before
the
Friday
event,
we
got
a
call
from
the
citizen
and
sent
us
a
facebook
flier.
We
had
turned
down
their
request
to
have
the
large
group
and
they
said:
do
you
know
about
this
one?
What's
the
difference
and
we
didn't
at
that
point
so
from
Thursday
through
Friday,
we
tried
to
get
in
touch
with
people
from
the
Facebook
post.
We
finally
got.
H
P
Reached
out
to
them,
our
director
Holly
bradder,
tracked
him
down
through
the
Facebook
flier,
and
she
had
a
conversation
with
him
about
going
through
the
proper
process
that
we
were
not
allowing
this
in
the
parks.
Right
now
we
had
already
canceled
events
for
April,
May
and
June
that
we
already
had
on
the
books
and
that's
how
I
got
started
with
how
we
knew
about
it.
Okay,.
P
The
issue
was
on
the
Facebook
post:
they
had
that
a
hundred
and
sixty
nine
people
were
going
and
then
they
had
another
six
hundred
and
something
interested.
And
so
of
course,
we
can't
do
large
events
like
that.
So
we
reached
out
to
her
about
the
procedures
of
you
have
to
have
a
certificate
of
insurance
for
a
crowd
that
large,
if
we
were
able
to
have
it
so.
P
Sir,
they
there's
a
there's
a
it's
a
fee
for
it.
It
just
depends
on
what
all
they're
gonna
have
out
there.
They
would
have
to
have
a
sound
permit
from
the
police
department.
They
were
going
to
use,
amplified
sound.
They
have
to
have
security
if
it's
over
a
hundred
people
there's
just
a
myriad
of
things
that
you
have
to
do
in
order
to
have
a
large
event
like
that
in
our
parks
and.
P
End
result
from
the
from
the
person
organizing
it
that
she
was
going
to
cancel
it,
but
I
do
want
to
say:
I,
don't
know
anything
about
a
cease
and
desist
order.
We
don't
we
don't
do
those,
and
that
was
her.
One
question
is
why
we
issued
that
order
just
to
be
clear.
Parks
and
Rec
doesn't
do
that,
but
she
agreed
to
cancel
it.
But
then
we
had
a
lot
of
Facebook
pushback
about
there
going
anyway
and
so
I
think
that's
when
director
broader
got
you
and
deputy
city
manager,
good
within
law,.
H
None
of
the
process
have
been
met
or
followed,
and,
and
so
we
could
not
have
a
large-scale
event
in
the
park
because
we're
still
dealing
with
hope
at
19
and
then
about
five
o'clock.
I
mean
this
is
340
or
so
about
five
o'clock
I
hear
from
one
of
the
TV
stations
directed
to
me
by
the
mayor's
office,
the
chief
of
staff
and
I
share
it
with
them.
H
I
share
it
with
them
a
couple
of
things
that
and-
and
these
are
the
points
that
last
year
that
Parks
and
Recreation
officials
learned
about
this
event
from
a
Facebook
post.
So
no
use
of
the
port
facility
is
on
record
or
authorized
to
rent
or
use.
A
port
facility
requires
an
application
and
approval
visit
not
occurred.
H
Had
a
Reese
had
a
request
been
properly
made,
ports
and
rec
officials
would
have
determined
if
the
event
could
be
held
in
the
location,
with
CDC
and
Department
of
Public
Health
protocols
in
place
to
include
social
distancing
and
we're
enough
masks.
None
of
this
occurred,
and
so
our
goal
is
to
keep
Columbus
citizens
safe,
as
our
positive
Kovac
19
numbers
are
on
the
rise.
That
is
what
I
share
with
the
media
and
so
I
consider
the
matter
closed.
H
A
Let
me
just
add
one
thing:
when
the
city
manager
called
me,
I
mean,
as
he
typically
does,
he
made
absolutely
the
right
decision.
The
reason
that
those
protocols
are
in
place
is
to
ensure
that
everybody
has
equal
access
to
the
parks
and
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
render
to
you
at
anytime
as
long
as
they
go
through
the
proper
procedures.
H
So
I
wanted
to
get
the
facts
on
the
table
because
I
did
see
Facebook
post
say
well.
Why
are
you
having
more
kid
days?
Well,
market
days
is
controlled
by
Uptown
Columbus
for
one,
but
then
we
had
some
say
in
that
market
days
were
required
to
provide
assurance
to
us
on
how
they
would
do
social
distancing
and
meet
all
of
the
protocols
of
CDC
and
the
Department
of
Public
Health.
H
In
other
words,
they
were
going
to
space,
have
distance
between
their
tables
or
whatever
they
were
doing
all
of
those
things,
and
that
plan
had
to
be
accepted
by
us,
and
so
all
I
asked
for.
As
these
people
report
to
me,
a
city
manager
and
what
I
asked
for
is
that
we
do
things
as
we
say
in
the
black
church,
decent
and
in
order.
That's
all
I'm
looking
for
and
if
we
do
them
decent
in
an
order,
then
we
can
get
things
done
and
and
and
then
we
won't
have
all
of
the
confusion.
H
So
I
wanted
to
bring
all
of
these
departments
here
today
to
talk
about
how
to
rent
and
how
to
reserve
city
facilities,
and
we
just
got
to
do
it
right.
I
tell
my
six-foot-four
220
pounds
son,
you
know
when
you
get
stopped
by
the
police.
You
got
to
do
your
part
right,
and
so
we
just
got
to
do
our
part
right.
You
know
you,
you
got
to
have
a
driver's
license
to
drive.
You
just
can't
go
drive
your
car
around
town.
You
got
to
have
a
license
to
fish.
H
H
I'm,
not
you
I
think
you're
wrong,
because
I'm
bold
enough
to
do
that
and
if
I,
if
you're,
right,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
you're
right,
I'm,
bold
enough
to
say
you're,
right
and
and
I'm
bold
enough
to
say
that
we've
got
to
do
things
decent
in
order.
We've
got
to
do
them
right,
we
did
not
cancel
a
Juneteenth
event
and
we
did
not
do
a
cease
and
desist
and
I
wanted
to
get
that
out
on
the
table
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
around
the
room.
H
H
P
P
We
have
parks
and
pavilions
and,
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
we
run
out,
everything
has
to
be
done
in
Perth
in
person
has
to
be
done
a
couple
of
weeks
in
advance,
two
or
three
weeks
in
advance
to
ensure
that
we've
got
it
on
the
books
and
everything's
correct
the
rental
payment,
as
well
as
the
deposit,
must
be
paid
at
the
time
of
booking
the
reservation
and
all
park.
Services
facilities
which
are
all
of
our
outdoor
facilities,
are
limited
to
8
hours.
P
P
P
Our
Park
civilians,
like
our
amphitheaters
and
that
sort
of
thing
they
have
a
very
small
fee,
that's
just
to
help
us
maintain
it
and
keep
it
up,
no
deposit
required
on
those,
and
you
just
basically
have
to
come
in
and
fill
out
an
application
with
our
office
and
then,
whichever
kind
of
rental
you
have,
we
will
take
care
of
all
the
steps
for
you
and
amplified
sound
the
permits
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff
so
cheaply.
Okay,.
O
R
R
We
prefer

amplified
sound
praise,
festivals,
public
demonstrations,
picketing
permits
and
restaurant
viewing
permits.
We
do

permits

well
once
the

for
the

is
filled
out.

the
Public
Safety
Building.
You
can
email
it
to

melvin
from
it.
R
It
is

At
that
time
it
has
taken

approves
or
denies
the
permit
either
way
it
is
signed
once
he
has
signed
a

whether
it's
approved
or
denied.
We
didn't
send
it

to
the

They
can
pick
it
up
in

8:30
a.m.
and
if
you
do
anything
after
5
o'clock
p.m.
H
O
H
Can't
have
a
large
group
of
people
to
show
up
and
decide
you're
gonna
have
an
event:
yeah
I'm.
Sorry,
you
got
to
reserve
it.
In
fact,
if
you
reserve
it
we'll
help
you
we'll
set
up
a
microphone
podium
Cheers
at
no
cost
and
no
cost.
We
just
need
to
know
correct.
You
just
can't
show
up.
Yes,
sir.
Ok,
any
questions
around
the
table.
Q
Good
morning,
so
at
at
the
golf
courses
we
have,
we
have
a
form
that
we
use
in.
If
someone
is
interested
in
conducting
an
outing,
a
cherubi,
outing
or
just
a
golf
tournament,
they
want
to
hosted
it.
They
want
us
to
host
every
one
of
the
golf
courses
and
then
we
just
begin
with
a
simple
form
with
contact
information.
We
do
need
to
know
how
many
participants
they
have
in
mind.
The
main
purpose
of
this
is
so
we
can
actually
satisfy
their
needs.
Q
At
the
same
time,
we
don't
want
to
reserve
too
much
space
or
too
little
space,
because
we
have
other
citizens
that
want
to
play
golf
at
the
facility.
So
we
we're
gonna
work
around
their
group
size
and
we
also
understand
things
have
to
be
flexible
because
in
golf
tournaments
and
now,
since
there
are
many
last-minute
entries
and
and
exits
and
things
change,
so
you
just
have
to
have
a
general
idea
and
make
plans
accordingly.
Q
So
we're
looking
for
that
kind
of
information.
We
wonder
how
many
holes
they
want
to
play
the
certain
golf
course
that
they
want.
We
have
more
than
one
course.
So
we
want
to
know
which,
where
they
want,
so
basically
we
want
to
send
some
their
expectations.
You
know
so
they're
applying
for
I'd
like
to
have
this
event.
This
many
people
at
this
location
at
this
time
of
day-
and
of
course,
you
know,
there's
other
factors
that
may
come
into
place
with
the
weather
and
so
on.
Q
So
that
allows
me
to
communicate
back
with
them
my
ability
to
provide
them
with
what
they're.
Looking
for
the
weather,
nothing
will
arrange.
Balls
is
a
question
it's
just
as
simple,
yes
or
no,
and
then,
as
if
I
I
had
mentioned
about
about
beer.
It's
you
know,
it's
stated
on
this
form
so
that
everybody
has
a
clear
understanding
of
of
how
beer
is
handled.
Q
There
is
a
an
alcohol
permit
at
the
golf
course,
and
people
have
to
act
accordingly,
which
means
you
know,
as
was
previously
stated,
you
can't
just
go
to
Sam's
or
Walmart
and
bring
your
own
beer
in.
So
it's
just
like
any
other
place
that
has
a
permit,
so
that's
stated
there
and
then
there's
a
rate
structure
in
place
so,
depending
on
the
purpose
of
the
event,
it
might
help
them
decide
if
they
want
to
play
on
a
less
expensive
weekday
or
if
they
want
to
play
on
a
more
expensive
weekend
and
those
rates
are
there.
Q
There
are
discounts
in
place
for
people
that
do
there
beverage
business
with
us.
So
that's
just
how
you
know
plain
to
see
and
and
that's
really
that's
basically
yeah.
They
sign
the
agreement.
They
know
what
to
expect
from
me.
I
know
what
to
expect
from
them
and
we
have
the
ability
to
communicate
because
it
does
require
further
communication.
Q
H
V
Everyone
good
morning
so
good
to
see
some
of
your
faces.
So
when
booking
an
event
at
the
Trade
Center,
there's
several
things
that
you
can
do
to
reserve
your
spot.
The
best
thing
that
we
tell
clients
call
us
just
give
us
a
call
at
my
front
desk.
It's
where
we
can
get
some
great
information,
our
numbers
posted
on
our
website.
You
can
google
it
it's
there
in
to
email.
One
of
our
event,
coordinators,
on
our
website,
we
have
all
of
our
names
listed,
photo
direct
email,
so
that
can
what
they
specialize
in.
V
V
This
is
a
takes
you
step
by
step
on
how
many
people,
what
the
day
you
prefer,
if
you
are
having
been
just
all
these
questions,
that
way
we
can
get
as
much
information
as
possible
to
create
an
event
packet
for
that
client,
and
then
they
can
come
by
our
office
anytime,
Monday
through
Fridays,
our
business
hours,
8
a.m.
to
5
p.m.
and
night
and
weekend
hours
as
well.
V
Just
our
schedules
vary
based
on
events,
the
best
thing
for
the
client
to
realize
some
crucial
things
that
we
need
just
to
know
what
type
of
event
they
want
to
have
and
I've
just
realized
I've
not
been
going
to
the
slides.
Here
we
go
it's
their
name.
The
company
or
organization
is
applicable,
their
phone
number
email
address.
V
If
a
client
decides
they
want
to
book
the
space,
we
will
then
request
informations
to
start
building
a
lease
agreement
and
also
letting
them
know
the
importance
of
liability
insurance
that
we
have
in
place
on.
The
lessee
will
be
required
to
get
event
insurance
to
help
with
date,
deadlines
that
are
listed
in
the
event
agreement
and
one
thing
I
want
to
show.
It's
been
asked
a
lot
of
clients
about
social
distancing.
V
So
each
event
we
create
a
special
plan
based
on
that
event
to
ensure
safety,
not
only
for
the
guests
but
for
the
employees
are
conducting
the
event.
One
thing
that
we're
doing
that's
been
going
very
well
is
called
be
smart
Koga
and
it's
an
acronym
S
stands
for
shield
shield,
your
coughing
sneezes
in
this
mask.
We
can't
require
a
mass
for
everybody
that
walks
in,
but
we
highly
recommend
it.
A
is
a
part.
How
are
we
making
sure
event?
Spaces
allow
six
feet
a
social
distancing
rents.
V
We
have
Senate
passer
stations
before
you
enter
any
of
our
event,
spaces,
as
well
as
in
all
bathrooms
and
tidy
make
sure
you
keep
your
area
tidy
a
quick
acronym
because
there's
a
lot
of
rules
out
there
that
we
follow
this.
We
can
be
smart
and
have
events
that
are
safe
and
that's
what
we're
doing
day
by
day.
So.
H
V
No,
we
highly
recommend
communication
takes
place.
We
did
have
a
large
event
show
up
this
past
Sunday
and
security
notified
me.
I
went
down
just
because
we
got
to
know
when
an
event
or
or
people
are
showing
up.
Yes,
we
are
a
public
building,
but
all
the
spaces
are
rentable
and
we
may
have
a
client
that
has
the
space
already
rented
and,
most
importantly,
the
safety
of
the
building
and
for
the
people
that
would
be
coming
on
the
property.
W
Morning
and
I'm
gonna
ask
the
Civic
Center
team
if
they
will
come
and
stand
with
me
for
anyone
who
wishes
to
rent
the
Columbus,
Civic
Center
or
the
ice
rink
17,000
square
foot
arena
floor
here
at
the
Civic
Center.
The
ice
rink
also
17,000
square
feet
of
rentable
space.
Again,
that's
just
the
arena.
In
the
Civic
Center
we
have
the
hospitality
suites
as
well,
that
people
also
rent
and
then,
of
course,
the
outside
all
of
the
parking
spaces
in
the
parking
lot
is
also
rentable.
W
People
cannot
just
show
up
and
just
have
an
event,
because
it's
just
you
know
a
lot
of
space.
You
have
to
go
through
the
process
and
behind
me,
I
have
the
event:
services
manager,
Jeremy,
Echols
I,
have
Nixon
Paris,
Patterson
who's,
our
event
coordinator
and
Lisa
Thomas
cuts,
who
is
our
box
office
manager?
W
W
They
get
all
of
the
information
that
is
needed
regarding
the
event,
the
type
of
event
that
you
want,
what
your
needs
are
and
they
package
all
of
that,
because
there
are
costs
associated
with
all
of
that,
and
so
it
all
depends
on
the
number
of
people.
The
type
of
event
kind
of
you
know
that
will
determine
what's
required
in
terms
of
the
number
of
security
or
janitorial
staff,
sure
and
and
and
the
like.
W
We
have
a
whole
list
on
things
that
we
have
to
go
through
to
determine,
what's
going
to
make
your
event
successful,
and
so
they
will
package
that
get
a
cost
for
your
event,
they
will
send
you
that
agreement
to
look
at
the
two
of
you
and
the
three,
the
between
the
director
and
the
event
staff.
We
will
then
go
and
say:
okay,
we
need
a
little
bit
more
of
this,
so
this
is
too
much.
W
We
can,
you
know
kind
of
scale
it
down
some
based
on
what
you're
looking
for
and
so
that's
it
and
then,
of
course,
it
goes
then
to
tickety
after
we've
determined
what's
needed.
Then
the
box-office
gets
involved,
Lisa
cuts,
she
gets
involved
and
starts
building
the
event
for
them.
And
so
again
you
welcome
any
events
here.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
feel
this
10,000
seat
arena
up
thirteen
hundred
over
at
the
ice
rink,
and
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
those
opportunities
for
you
to
come
and
have
your
event.
H
X
H
Buildings
and
facilities
are
available
for
rent
or
just
use,
and
in
so
many
instances
there
is
no
cost.
We
just
need
to
know
if
you
want
to
use
the
community
room
at
City,
Services
Center.
There
is
no
calls
we'll
set
it
up,
Mike
everything
we
just
need
to
know,
and
so
rent
or
reserve
notifying
and
going
through
the
process.
Let's
do
it
decent
and
in
order,
and
then
we
will
minimize
and
eliminate
confusion.
Well,
that's.
A
My
goal:
it's
a
good
presentation,
I
mean
it's
significant,
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
folks
out
there
that
you
may
want
to
rent
one
of
these
facilities
and
don't
know
how
so
I
think
it'd
be
great.
If
council
wants
to
share
this
piece
of
the
presentation,
pull
it
out
of
the
meeting
and
I
know
we're
gonna
try
to
do
that,
just
to
make
sure
people
understand
that
what
they
need
to
do
in
order
to
do
it
so
that
their
event
can
be
be
pulled
off
safely,
effectively
and
efficiently.
So
very
good
presentation.
H
H
Got
the
Metra
Kia
proposed
route,
the
changes
we're
asking
you
to
approve
the
request

We
went

of
those
and
we're
asking

changes.

H

Good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
we
have
a
brief
update
related
to
care
zach
funding
to
be
received
through
CDBG
as
an
entitlement.
This
morning,
Rob
Scott,
who
is
the
new
director
of
community
reinvestment
in
real
estate,
is
here
you
were
able
to
meet
him
virtually
at
the
council
meeting
when
he
was
appointed
he's
been
on
the
job.
This
is
his
second
week,
so
he's
just
gonna.
Give
you
a
brief
update
on
that
funding.
So
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
him
formally
to
the
mayor
and
council
and
welcome
him.
Z
All
right,
the
karasek
provided
funding
to
the
City
of
Columbus
through
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
for
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant,
the
city
of
Columbus's
cares
act.
Allocation
is
nine
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighty
nine

to
cover
or
reimburse
the
allowable
cost
to
prevent,
prepare
for
and
respond
to
coronavirus
and
its
impact
on
local
communities.
We
plan
on
leveraging
the
implementation
from
partnerships
with
nonprofit
agencies
that
are
going
to
administer
the
programs
directly
to
individuals.
Z
The
proposed
CDBG
activities
have
to
meet
the
national
objective
of
benefitting
low
to
moderate

persons
or
serving
those
who
live
in
low
income
census
tracts
some
key
dates
for
you
to
remember.
We,
our
office
will
be
hosting
a
webinar
for
interested
non-profits
to
learn
more
about
the
process
and
to
learn
about
the
application.

Okay,
we
have
been
working
diligently
for
the
last
few
months
on
the
cares
Act.
What
is
it?
It's
the
coronavirus,
aid
relief
and
Economic
Security
Act,
that's
what
you
have
been
hearing
so
much
about,
and
we
have
been
making
sure
that
we
are
a
part
of
this.
The
intent
of
the
cares
Act
is
to
first
of
all,
it
was
passed
in
March
of
this
year,
March
the
27th
and
it's
two
trillion
dollars
relief
package
that
intends
to
protect
the
American
people
from
the
public
health
and
economic
impact
of
kovat
19.
W
That's
the
purpose
of
that
funding.
We
have
been
working
with
the
Georgia
Municipal
Association,
the
Association
of
County
Commissioners
of
Georgia
and
the
National
League
of
Cities
in
responding
to
their
surveys
that
they
have
asked
us
for,
and
they
have
been
doing
that
over
the
last
few
months,
just
trying
to
determine
what
our
current
expenses
are
related
to
Cove
at
19
as
they
work
with
Congress
and
the
Treasury
Department
to
determine
what
the
city's
expenses
throughout
Georgia
look
like,
and
so
we
have
certainly
provided
them.
W
Our
information,
but
Georgia
received
just
over
four
billion
dollars
of
cares.
Act
funding.
Six
hundred
and
fourteen
million
of
that
goes
to
four
counties
within
Georgia
Cobb
to
cap,
Fulton
and
Winnett,
and
the
city
of
Atlanta,
so
they
receive
six
hundred,
and
fourteen
million
of
that
3.5
billion
is
available
for
the
remainder
of
the
states
in
Georgia.
W
Some
of
the
eligible
expenses
regarding
Kovac
19
expenses
include
medical
and
that
any
medical
expenses
in
terms
of
public
agencies,
hospitals,
clinics,
the
Department
of
Health,
any
of
those
medical
facilities
is
a
eligible
expense,
public
health
expenses,
payroll
and
public
health.
Provisional
provisions
of
economic
support
hazard
pay,
although
we
didn't
do
hazard
pay,
we
did
do
hazard
time,
which
actually
there
is
a
dollar
amount
associated
with
that
time,
that
we've
given,
so
it
will
become
ineligible
expense
supplies
for
future
preparation
and
stockpiling
of
what
we
may
need
for
the
future
outbreak
in
the
current.
W
What's
going
on
currently
with
Kovac
19,
also
emergency
financial
assistance
to
pay
rent
mortgage
funerals
in
etc,
and
those
are
things
that,
of
course,
all
the
funding
has
to
come
through
the
the
government,
and
so
what
we
are
looking
to
do
is
to
gather
up
all
of
those
expenses
within
those
our
partner
agencies
within
the
city.
What
we
have
done
in
we've
asked
every
department
within
CCG
in
agency,
to
provide
us
with
their
expenses
related
to
kovat,
from
you
know,
facilities,
maintenance
and
providing
all
of
the
sanitation
equipment.
W
All
departments,
of
course,
have
purchased
face,
masks.
They
have
done
shields
at
the
various
offices,
the
six
foot
distancing
size
and
a
whole,
a
number
of
other
things
that
they
have
done.
The
expenses
have
been
pretty
great
here
and
so
we've
received
all
of
that
from
March
through
and
we've
asked
them
to
anticipate
what
those
expenses
will
be
through
December
31
of
this
year,
and
so
we
are
also
again.
W
We
had
a
team
working
and
and
actually
receiving
information,
also
from
the
healthcare
agencies
outside,
of
course,
the
city
and
so
we've
received
some
of
those,
and
we
continue
to
receive
them.
But
538
cities
and
159
counties
will
receive
direct
funding
from
the
cares
Act
we
have
provided
with
provided
them
with
all
of
our
banking
information
that
will
allow
us
to
receive
a
direct
deposit
before
June
the
30th,
and
that
is
based
on
the
per
capita
or
population
basis
or
phase
one.
W
All
cities
will
receive
direct
funding
based
on
the
per
capita
population
again
and
that
they
will
receive
that
prior
to
June
the
30th,
and
so
we
should
be
getting
something
very
soon.
There's
no
other
action
that
is
required
on
our
part
for
this
phase,
1
funding
under
phase
2
and
3,
which
are
the
next
steps,
according
according
to
the
guidance
that
we
currently
have
through
October
the
31st.
W
We
will,
of
course
have
to
provide
our
eligible
expenses
that
have
been
made
from
March
the
1st
through
October,
the
30th
for
reimbursement
under
phase
3
again,
those
that
that
available
funding
will
be
based
on
reimbursement
through
December.
The
31st
in
any
funding
that
is
remaining
after
the
final
allocation
and
that
is
not
used
must
be
returned
to
the
state.
A
City
manager,
good
job
on
the
presentation,
I
just
I
mean
this
is
this-
is
critical
and
I
think
the
way
y'all
are
handling
it.
Trying
to
hire
somebody
who's,
gonna
be
focused
full-time
on
getting
it
done
is
the
proper
way
to
move.
I
know
they
still
haven't
come
up
with
any
guidelines.
They've
talked
in
generalizations
as
we've
seen.
A
The
two
primary
advocates
for
local
governments
throughout
the
state
of
Georgia
are
hard
at
work
with
the
governor's
office
and
his
budget
committee,
trying
to
make
sure
that
they
have
everything
laid
out
as
neatly
as
possible
and
they're
gonna
have
to
make
something
happen.
Pretty
quick!
That's
right!
Stick
to
those
guidelines,
so
we,
but
it's
gonna,
be
a
great
opportunity,
I
think
for
so
many
organizations
that
are
certainly
for
the
government
for
some
of
the
monies
that
we've
expended.
A
W
A
J
AB
Good
morning,
so
the
cares
Act
funding
is
a
reimbursement
type
program,
so
we
would
have
to
expend
the
funding
in
order
to
receive
reimbursements,
but
that
certainly
is
part
of
the
process.
That's
being
discussed
is
the
reimbursement
aspect,
because
there's
but
I
believe
the
deficit
manager
mentioned
certain
phases
that
they're
looking
to
install
in
terms
of
how
they
allocate
the
funding
to
the
local
governments.
AB
The
first
phase,
actually,
though,
is
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
they
sort
of
haven't
drilled
down
to
a
finite
number,
they'll,
give
the
the
money
sort
of
upfront
to
the
local
governments,
and
so
we'll
have
that
money
to
utilize.
If
and
supposedly
that,
money
should
be
available
to
us.
What
we've
been
told
is
by
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
so
by
June
30th.
AB
Whatever
that
allocation
would
be,
you
were
expecting
some
allocation,
hopefully
from
the
state
government,
to
use
that
money
upfront
and
then
we'll
just
have
to
document
all
of
the
expenditures
for
the
use
of
that
funding,
and
then
in
the
additional
phases
it
will
be
on
a
reimbursement
basis.
Okay,.
H
H
If
you
don't
spend
the
money
it
goes
back
into
the
state
and
then
they
redistribute
the
money
into
areas
that
need
or
did
spend
the
money.
And
so
do
we
want
to
be
so
careful
not
to
spend
money
on
things
that
perhaps
could
have
been
spent
on
and
we
turn
the
money
back
in
and
it
goes
to
Savannah,
Augusta
or
somewhere
else,
and
we
realize
oops
well,
I.
H
Think
the
position,
a
position
or
agency
for
six
months
will
pay
for
itself.
You
know
they
become
an
expert
and-
and
we
don't
want
to
be
left
having
to
pay
money
back,
but
we
don't
want
to
be
left
with
millions
of
dollars
on
the
table
that
we
should
have
claimed.
So
we
just
got
to
figure
out
the
balance
and
all
of
that.
A
Yeah
there'll
be
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
discussions.
I
know,
DCA
farm
community
affairs
is
gonna,
be
the
sort
of
the
watchdog
of
this
they're
gonna,
be
gathering
receipts
and
and
and
telling
you
what
kind
of
paperwork
you
need
to
provide.
So
it's
gonna
be
a
it's
either
gonna
take
some
away
from
their
full-time
job,
or
we
need
to
get
somebody
temporarily
to
do
it.
Full-Time
and
I.
Think
that
makes
I
mean.
Obviously
that
would
be
an
expense
that
would
be
allowable.
A
I
would
think
underneath
these
guidelines
anyway,
so
I
think
that's
the
way
to
go
to
make
sure
cuz.
It
is
gonna,
be
a
delicate
operation
in
that
you
don't
want
to.
You
don't
want
to
leave
anything
on
the
table.
The
city
manager
said,
but
you
don't
want
to
overstretch
either
and
end
up
having
to
pay
some
of
it
back.
AC
Just
have
a
couple
curious
questions,
this
one
standpoint
of
County
and
the
balance
sheet
no
I
know
there's
the
stimulus
funds
are
and
we've
heard
several
presentations
and
are
going
in
different
directions.
What
would
what
fun
will
those
go
into
and
how
will
they
be
accounted
for
and
will
we
get
periodic
statements
on
how
the
monies
be
implied
and
used.
AB
That
is
an
excellent
question.
Counselor
Davis
still
working
out
all
of
the
specific
details,
but
the
thought
is
that
it
would
go
into
its
own
fine.
We
would
establish
a
segregated
fund
so
that
we
can
report
all
the
expenditures
that
we
utilize
of
the
cares
act
sort
of
separately,
so
it
won't
be
wrapped
up
in
the
expenditures
or
any
other
time.
Well,
we'll
look
to
establish
a
separate
fund.
B
AC
AD
Council,
so
public
access
got
wiped
out
by
the
ransomware
attack
and
actually
a
lot
of
what
we
have
in
our
office
got
wiped
out,
and
so
we
have
been
diligently
working
to
reestablish
everything.
We
have
an
interim
public
access
site
up
and
running
as
of
the
19th
so
last
week
it
is
not
full
functionality
that
we're
used
to
so
there's
there's
a
few
features
that
are
still
missing
off
of
the
off
of
the
public
access
site.
It's
not
linking
to
the
maps.
AD
Yet
the
photos
are
not
there
and
there
are
some
search
features
that
we've
had
available
on
the
other
public
access
sites,
such
as
neighborhood
search
and
and
that
kind
of
thing
that
are
that
are
not
available.
But
all
of
the
information
for
valuations
for
2020
that
went
out
in
notices
of
assessment
are
in
fact
available
out
on
the
public
access
site
and
it
can
be
searched.
AD
So
if
you
know
what
your
neighbors
houses
are
or
if
their
addresses
you
can
look
them
up
and
see
what
their
values
are,
we
do
not
have
an
estimate
yet
on
when
we'll
we'll
be
able
to
get
the
old.
The
the
public
access
site
that
we're
used
to
we
don't
have
an
estimate
yet
on
when
that
rebuild
will
be
complete.
We
are
still
working
on
it
with
Tyler
and
with
IT
and
it's
you
know
we
have
to.
They
have
to
complete
the
build,
and
then
we
have
to
test
it
before
we
can
release
it.
AD
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
potential
for
is
to
bring
along
a
secondary
site
so
that
we
have
our
public
access
site,
but
then
we
would
have
a
secondary
site
that
would
complement
the
public
access
site.
In
the
past
we
had
used
a
company
called
Q
public,
and
it's
one
that
realtors
are
very
familiar
with.
It's
used
in
154
counties
here
in
the
state
of
Georgia
and
they
have
a
sole
source,
no
dollar
to
us
option
available,
which
we
have
explored
and
it's
they
would
host
it.
It
would
not
be
hosted
on
our
servers.
AD
It
would
be
hosted
on
their
servers,
which
would
provide
a
little
bit
of
protection.
So
if
we
ever
got
hit
again
and
they
would
not
be
charging
the
CCG,
the
cost
to
host
the
site
would
be
borne
by
them.
They
make
up
some
of
the
expense
by
selling
subscriptions
to
it
number
of
different
subscriptions
available.
AD
We
are
not
there's
a
number
of
other
counties
that
are
on
Tyler,
which
is
what
we
have
for
our
canvas
system
that
also
use
Q
public
as
opposed
to
public
access
or
that
use
both
and
just
as
an
example,
you
can
go
out
to
the
DeKalb
County
site,
and
that
is
the
Q
public
site
there
at
Tyler
company
they
use
is
world.
There
are
Tyler
County
Cobb
County
is
another
one,
Baldwin
is
another
one.
All
of
them
are
on
the
same
canvas
system.
AD
We
are
and
they're
all
using
the
Q
public
site,
and
so
they,
the
integration
between
Q,
public
and
is
world,
has
already
been
defined.
It's
it's
seamless,
so
they
would,
it
would
flow
very
nicely.
It
would
work
very
well.
We
would
still
have
the
public
access
site
as
a
totally
free
option
for
our
taxpayers,
but
for
those
professionals
they
like
to
have
additional
features.
Additional
search
ability
to
have
ESRI
integrated
Maps
that
that
sort
of
thing
the
Q
public,
could
potentially
be
an
option
for
that
and
we're
hoping
to
actually
bring
that
before
council.
R
AD
A
problem
so,
where
we
are
is
we
are
now
in
the
appeal
process,
notices
of
assessment
for
personal
property,
which
is
businesses,
boats,
airplanes
were
mailed
out
on
the
15th
of
May.
The
appeal
period
for
personal
property
is
going
to
expire
on
the
29th
of
June
and
for
real
property,
which
is
buildings
and
land
that
those
notices
went
out,
may
18th
and
their
appeal
period
will
expire.
July,
2nd.
AD
The
legislature
allows
for
a
45
day,
appeal
period
from
the
date
of
mailing
of
the
notices.
That's
why
there's
two
different
deadlines
on
the
appeal
deadlines,
because
it
is
a
45
day
period.
To
date
we
have
388
Appeals,
that
was
as
of
5
o'clock
yesterday
afternoon,
9
and
personal
property,
and
for
real
property.
We
are
currently
at
a
total
of
379,
293
of
which
are
residential.
86
are
commercial,
and
current
value
in
dispute
is
approximately
just
over
26
million
dollars,
which
represents
less
than
a
half
of
a
percent
of
the
total
digest.
AD
These
numbers
are
a
little
low,
but
not
much
for
this,
where
we
are
within
the
appeal
period.
The
last
week
of
the
appeal
period
is
always
our
big
crunch
and
then
because
they
have
the
right
to
mail
them
in
as
long
as
they
are
postmarked
by
the
final
date
of
the
appeal
period.
The
first
week
after
the
appeal
period
expires.
We
always
that's.
When
we
see
all
of
them
all
of
the
mail
come
rolling.
In
generally
the
tax
reps
businesses,
they
all
filed
their
Appeals.
AD
We
don't
generally
get
a
whole
lot
of
personal
property
appeals,
real
property,
we're
at
about
400
normal
for
us,
is
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
eleven
to
twelve
hundred
appeals
per
year.
So
we
would
expect
to
see
those
numbers
going
up
and
we
are
seeing
those
numbers
going
up
between
Friday
and
yesterday
we
brought
in
little
over
one
hundred
appeals,
which
is
which
is
normal.
I
mean
this
is
this
is
exactly
doing
exactly
what
it
did
last
year,
it's
exactly
what
we
expect,
so
my
staff
has
been
available
to
assist
folks.
AD
You
know
that
needed
help
researching
to
decide
whether
they
wanted
to
appeal
or
not.
For
those
people
who
are
used
to
going
out
to
the
public
access
site
and
and
they
weren't
able
to
my
staff
was-
was
absolutely
available.
We
were
answering
phones,
helping
people
that
came
in
the
door
in
order
to
answer
any
questions
that
they
had.
We
assisted
them
with
research.
You
know
to
to
help
them
determine
you
know
what
their
neighbors
houses
were
valued
the
same
as
theirs
or
you
know
where
businesses
were
of
that
kind
of
thing.
AD
H
Good,
okay,
mayor,
if
there's
no
other
questions
on
that
topic,
we
do
have
one
other
topic
for
the
tax
assessor
that
finance
director
will
introduce
and
then
she
will
introduce
after
the
tax
assessor
a
topic
on
Commissioner,
a
tax
commissioner
and
then
the
Sheriff's
Office,
and
then
she
will
do
the
finance
update.
So
the
mic
is
yours:
through
the
end
of
my
agenda,
right.
AB
Thank
you
so
associated
manager
mentioned.
The
second
update
for
the
tax
assessor's
office
is
pursuant
to
ordinance
13
39,
which
says
that
if
a
department
or
elected
official
anticipates
exceeding
their
appropriate
budget
appropriate
a
budget
appropriations,
they
have
to
come
before
this
council
and
request
additional
funding.
So
for
the
tax
assessor's
office,
that
amount
is
amounts
to
about
an
estimated
$5,000.
AB
Potentially
exceed
her
budgeted
funds,
as
well
as
some
additional
cellphone
expenses,
that,
during
an
audit
by
the
information
technology
department,
were
being
charged
to
the
impro
Fiat
inappropriate
budget
and
it
should
have
been
charged
to
the
tax
assessor's
office.
And
so
these
things
will
the
request
an
additional
$5,000
through
the
end
of
FY
20,
and
obviously
consider
how
we'll
cover
those
in
FY
21
with
the
tax
commissioners
I'm.
Sorry,
the
tax
assessor's
office.
You
know
we
allocate
line
item
budgets
to
avoid
any
overages,
so.
AB
A
O
AD
I
have
discovered
is
that
there
has
been
a
consistent
pattern
of
allowing
appraisers,
ce2
laps
and
then
picking
them
up
the
next
year,
as
the
budget
came
due
and
I
went
ahead
and
made
sure
that
everybody
got
current.
So
we
are
now
current
and
we
will
stay
current
instead
of
having
this
lapse
continue
year
after
year
after
year,
where,
instead
of
getting
people
current
and
then
moving
forward,
so
that
the
next
year
we
weren't
playing
catch-up
again.
That's
what
we
that's.
What
they've
been
doing?
AD
I
discovered
that
when
I
came
on
board
that
we
had,
we
had
appraisers
that
were
lapsed
and
that
the
next
fiscal
year
they
would
let
them
catch
up,
and
somebody
else
would
lapse,
and
then
the
next
fiscal
year
that
person
would
get
caught
up,
and
so
we
just
went
ahead
and
got
everybody
caught
up.
We
also
have
a
couple
of
new
Assessors
on
the
board.
Only
have
three
new
Assessors
that
are
still
trying
to
reach
their
required
credentials,
they're
required
to
have
four
classes,
and
we
have.
AD
O
AD
AD
AE
A
X
AB
AB
This
request
is
actually
pursuant
to
the
FY
2008
ordinance
that
says,
if
a
department
or
elected
official
wants
to
utilize
spending
any
salary
savings
that
they
have
to
come
before
council
to
get
express
approval
and
the
request
is
to
cover
the
or
reimburse
the
Tax
commissioner's
office
for
some
Bank
analysis
fees.
This
is
in
response
to
the
FY
19
audit
that
was
brought
before
council
and
presented
by
our
external
auditors,
Malta's
and
Jenkins.
There
was
a
recommendation
for
a
change
in
process
and
so
going
forward.
AB
They
change
that
process
for
FY
21
going
forward,
but
there
is
a
reimbursement
requirement
to
reimburse
the
tax
commissioners
bank
account
for
link
analysis
fees
and
the
amount
of
26,000
117
dollars
again.
This
is
not
utilizing
fund
balance
reserves.
It
is
already
within
the
Tax
commissioner's
budget.
It
is
just
utilizing
some
salary
savings,
so
we're
reallocating
monies
to
cover
this
expense
when
he
counsels
it.
For
you.
H
AE
A
AE
Sorry,
can
you
clarify
what
the
expense
wasn't,
what
the
expense
was
when
so.
AB
Just
as
any
private
business
or
commercial
business,
when
we
utilize
financial
institutions,
typically,
the
utilization
of
those
institutions,
there's
a
fee
involved,
a
lot
of,
and
particularly
in
I,
know
for
the
city's
contract.
What
they'll
do
is
they
will
reduce
the
balance
in
our
checking
account
for
the
fees
that
we
have
do
so
they
charges
for
various
things,
they're
their
fees
to
make
deposits.
AB
AB
O
H
AB
Didn't
have
because
the
bank
took
it,
it's
an
expense
to
us
and
it
operates
that
way
for
all
the
different
courts,
but
most
of
the
courts.
I
know
specifically
from
municipal
magistrate
court
when
you
have
a
pass-through
account.
There
is
no
money
in
that
account
to
cover
a
fee,
so
that
fee
has
to
be
charged
against
a
budget.
So.
R
O
H
N
H
And
so,
if
you're,
if
you
transfer
over
the
five
hundred
dollars,
you
have
in
your
checking
account-
and
you
don't
leave
ten
dollars
in
there
to
cover
then
there's
an
issue
with
your
account.
That's
right!
So
we
got
the
5-minute
hours
we
want
to
give
it.
I
was
back
right
so
that
you
will
have
your
bank
fees.
AE
AB
X
AB
We
do
have
negotiations
with
the
bank
and
I
know
the
tax
commissioner,
in
her
official
capacity
as
a
constitutional
officer,
had
negotiations
with
banks
to
revisit
the
fees
and
I
actually
believe
that
there
was
talk
or
switching
of
accounts
within
the
office
to
help
reduce
some
of
the
fees.
But
this
number
is
not
an
annual
number.
The
fees
are
nowhere
near
this
amount
on
an
annual
basis.
This
is,
as
I
said,
a
result
of
of
the
f119
audit
and
it's
just
a
combination
of
time.
AB
AF
A
H
AB
And
before
I
do
that
council
house
dear
asked
for
additional
information.
It's
not
listed
specifically
on
the
agenda
because
it
was
a
referral,
but
he
requested
additional
information
for
Bull
Creek,
Golf
Course,
as
well
as
a
Civic
Center,
and
so
you
have
before
you
a
handout
for
the
estimated
cash
flows
for
both
of
those
enterprise
funds
and
if
I
could
just
very
quickly
looking
at
the
bull
creek
estimated
cash
flow.
AB
So
what
we
anticipate
through
the
end
of
June
our
revenues
that
amount
to
a
little
bit
more
than
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
this
includes
the
already
budgeted
subsidy
from
the
general
sign
in
the
amount
of
$50,000.
The
estimated
expenses
are
listed
here
through
the
end
of
the
month
for
payroll
expenses,
inmate
labor,
landscaping,
supplies
utilities,
the
equipment,
rental
operate
materials
and
so
forth,
and
so,
when
you
subtract
all
of
those
expenses
from
what
we
anticipate
will
receive
your
revenue
through
the
end
of
the
month.
AB
That
leaves
a
desk
a
deficit
of
about
thirty
nine
thousand
dollars.
Currently
on
the
books.
They
have
a
deficit
of
eighty
six
thousand
dollars,
which
is
what
prompted
our
request
to
counsel
for
the
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
needed
for
bull
Creek
to
cover
the
cash
deficit
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
and
one
thing
I
like
to
say
about
this
as
well-
is
that
you
know,
obviously
this
request
and
keeping
in
line
with
ordinance
13
39
is,
you
know,
obviously
very
important
to
me.
AB
It's
obviously
very
important
to
council
so
that
when
departments
are
or
off,
the
elected
officers
are
operating
with
the
deficit.
They
come
back
here
and
request
additional
appropriations,
but
in
accordance
with
state
law
and
in
terms
of
the
accounting
requirements,
we
cannot
have
two.
We
cannot
leave
a
fund,
an
enterprise,
fun
or
any
other
fun,
with
a
cash
deficit
on
the
books
as
of
June
30th,
and
we
are
required.
H
A
B
A
H
So,
mayor
and
council,
when
this
came
before
you
Polly,
was
on
the
ninth
of
the
month,
the
understanding
that
that
time
was
that
the
sheriff
office
was
going
to
be
within
budget
and
they
had
salary
savings
and
based
on
that
information,
you
approved
proceeding
forward
with
bonuses.
How
does
this
our
savings
and,
of
course,
have
we
known
at
that
time
that
the
sheriff
office
would
not
be
within
budget
and
wanted
to
use
our
savings
that
would
cause
the
sheriff's
office
to
exceed
budget?
H
We
would
have
spoken
up
at
that
time
and
not
recommended
any
approval
of
paying
out
bonuses
in
a
budget
where
you're
going
to
exceed
your
bottom
line,
and
so
as
a
city
manager
unless
there's
different
information-
and
this
is
certainly
what
I
would
do
for
any
department
with
a
similar
circumstance.
I
would
come
back
to
you
and
say
to
you
that
certainly
I
would
not
have
recommended
on
June,
9th
and
certainly
I.
Don't
recommend
proceeding
with
paying
bonuses
that
would
cause
a
department
to
exceed
bottom
line,
and
so.
AC
I,
if
what
you're
saying
is
accurate,
I
I'd
say
we
can't
do
it.
It's
just
not
fair
to
anybody
in
this
government.
We'd
have
to
do
it,
for
everybody
may
not
that's
the
way.
I
would
approach
it
and
that's
not
the
understanding
now
how
it
was
presented,
and
certainly
it's
not
going
by
the
guidelines
that
this
council
was
upheld
with
other
departments
and
agencies.
So
I
agree,
100%,
I,
just
it.
It
would
be
totally
disrespectful
and
just
the
wrong
thing
to
do
in
looking
at
the
rest
of
the
employees
of
this
government.
Well,
I
think.
H
The
sheriff
was
operated
on
information
she
had
at
that
time
and
and
we
were
operating
on
the
information
that
was
being
shared
with
us
at
that
time
and
I.
Don't
think
there
was
any
effort
to
to
do
what
we
found
where
we
find
our
SEOs
I,
don't
think
she
would
have
asked
had
she
known
and
being
clear.
AC
And
you're
right,
that's
not
that's
not
certainly
I'm,
not
saying
that
yeah,
because
I
think
we
had
that
discussion
and
it
was
consistent
with
what
we've
done
with
other
departments.
This
would
be
out
of
yes,
that's
right
the
norm.
That's
why
I'm
just
giving
my
two
cents
behind
it!
Why
I
couldn't
support
something
like
this?
If
it
was
yes
in
a
in
addition
or
actually
increasing
the
budget
of
a
office,
we'd
have
to
do
it
for
everybody
else.
That's
really
the
bottom
line
with.
H
12
the
bond
line,
I
think
you're
right.
We
would
have
other
if
with
you,
it
set
a
precedent.
If
you
didn't
know
what
it
would
be
one
thing,
but
to
know
it
before
you
do,
it
is
something
else
because
I
can
see
next
year,
they
comes
to
us
officer
who
is
going
to
exceed
his
or
her
budget
may
come
and
say:
I
want
to
pay
bonuses.
What's
our
savings?
Well,
you
did
it
last
year
and
and
that
just
would
not
be
a
good
price.
My.
AB
A
A
H
A
X
AF
AB
AF
When
I
was
when
I
made
this
request,
I
was
looking
at
the
variance
report,
the
latest
one
that
we
had
and
we
were
well
within
our
budget.
I
got
a
variance
report.
Friday
we're
still
well
within
our
budget,
but
I
understand
that
this
now,
with
this
new
information
and
I,
do
want
to
say
this
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
that
happened
is
we
had
approximately
a
hundred
and
twenty
three
thousand
dollars
that
was
not
budgeted
in
outside
medical
expenses,
medical
care
for
inmates.
AF
We
have
an
additional
$25,000
that
has
come
out
that
we
will
have
to
pay
medical
care
for
inmates.
So
I
think
that
ate
up
quite
a
bit
of
that,
obviously
that
that
was
not
foreseen
when
when
I
was
looking
and
when
all
of
us,
because
I
didn't
do
this
in
a
vacuum,
I
did
get
with
the
finance
director
before
I
even
made
the
request,
and
we
were
all
looking
at
the
same
information
at
that
time.
AF
AA
A
G
H
A
AB
Some
of
the
tax
supported
funds
that
are
listed
here
on
the
snapshot
that
I'll
get
to
in
just
a
moment,
they're
experienced
and
decreases
because
of
that
change.
So
it's
a
positive
impact
for
the
general
fund,
not
so
positive
for
the
other
attacks
supported
funds
that
used
to
receive
a
significant
amount
of
motor
vehicle
at
valorem
taxes,
so
the
other
Local
Option,
Sales,
Tax,
Fund
I'm
year-to-date,
is
up
two
point:
three,
four
percent.
When
we
compare
May
of
2019
to
May
20.
AB
2012
percent,
when
making
that
comparison,
but
here
today
it's
up
to
point
three
four
percent
and
I
would
attribute
that
to
the
very
early
on
the
gains
that
we
saw
very
early
on
in
the
fiscal
year.
I
do
anticipate
and
they're
hopeful
that
we'll
obviously
meet
our
budget,
but
you
know
that
all
just
depends
on
what
happens
in
gym,
so
the
storm
water
sewer
fund
is
down
four
point.
AB
AB
Residential
collections
at
the
same
period
this
year
that
we
did
last
year
had
that
been
received
and
posted
timely.
That
fund
would
only
be
down
about
0.97%,
so
on
the
emergency
telephone
fund
is
up
five
point:
three:
five
percent
the
Economic
Development
Authority
fund
is
down
three
point.
Seven,
eight
percent
I'm
debt
service
fund
is
up
fifty
point
five,
one
percent
and
again
that
is
due
to
the
boundary
fundings
and
the
proceeds
related
to
that.
That
has
that
fun
with
the
significant
change
for
this
year
next
year
to
be
just
the
opposite.
AB
AB
Sixteen
point
three
nine
percent
and
I
know
for
bull
Creek,
and
some
of
that
is
based
on
the
fact
that
some
of
the
revenues
that
were
thrown
for
May
or
actually
not
posted
until
June,
so
it
still
would
be
down,
but
not
at
the
level
of
what
you
see
on
the
report.
The
Oxbow
creek
golf
course
is
the
same.
AB
It's
down
twenty
one
point:
six
four
percent
and
the
Civic
Center
fund
get
a
date,
is
down
four
point:
three:
two
percent
I'm
moving
down
to
snapshot
for
the
older
local
option;
sales
tax,
fine
public
safety,
summary
revenues
that
we've
collected
you
today
in
Ola
is
22
point:
1
million
expenditures
or
obligations.
Year-To-Date
is
22
point
4
million
for
the
infrastructure
side.
The
revenues
reported
year-to-date
is
9
point
4
million
expenditures
running
out
about
10.1
million,
moving
to
the
left
side
of
the
snapshot.
AB
Just
for
the
just
to
point
out
here
the
general
fund
budget,
our
total
revenues
you
today
amounts
to
about
95
points,
6
4%,
so
we're
very
close
to
meeting
our
budget
in
terms
of
our
revenue
collections
and
the
general
fund
this
fiscal
year
on
the
expenditure
side.
When
we
move
down
this
snapshot
to
the
general
fund
expenditures.
Our
goal
at
this
particular
point
in
time
is
to
have
a
budget
that
either
meets
or
exceeds
8.33%,
and
so
for
the
departments
that
are
listed
here
that
are
not
meeting
that
goal.
AB
They're
highlighted
in
yellow,
so
the
first
one
would
be
the
city,
attorney's
litigation
and
we're
still
defending
several
million
in
claims.
Obviously,
the
real
estate
budget
that
is
related
to
the
building,
maintenance

Terrace.
Sorry,
there
is
a
revenue
that
offsets
those
expenditures
and
then
the
public
defender's
office.
We
pay
that
monthly
contract
in
advance,
so
we've
actually
made
the
payment
for
June
already
for
that
particular
contract
in
the
contract
for
FY
21
we'll
be
on
the
next
council
agenda.
AB
M

Yes,
sir,
so
there
were
some
questions
at
the
last
meeting
about
the
Health
Department
and
the
services
that
we're
going
to
be
provided.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
update
on
what
services
will
be
moving
to
the
new
location
at
5601,
Veterans
Parkway,
and
this
will
be
effective.
July
1st
those
departments
that
are
scheduled
to
move
include
public
health,
vital
records,
dental
clinic
the
WIC
office,
district,
child
health
prevention
services
and
the
district
clinical
offices.
Y
So
all
of
those
offices
that
are
currently
located
at
2100,
comer
Avenue
will
be
moving
to
the
new
facility,
5601
Veterans
Parkway,
effective
July,
1st
they'll
still
limit
the
number
of
people
entering
the
facility
due
to
kovin
19.
No
one
will
be
turned
away.
Everyone
will
be
screened
in
the
front
lobby
just
as
they're
doing
at
their
current
location,
where
feasible,
they
are
using
telehealth
online
and
drive-through
services.
Y
Departments
with
specific
clients
have
already
contacted
those
clients
specifically,
so
they
are
aware
of
the
change
of
the
location.
They
will
continue
to
do
the
drive-thru
kovat
19
collection
at
the
current
location
at
2100,
comer
Avenue,
so
that
drive-thru
Kovan
19
testing
will
continue
at
2100.
Comer
just
wanted
to
give
that
quick
update
for
those
who
utilize
those
services.
So
they
know
the
new
location
will
be
effective.
July
1st.
A
Y
Offices
that
are
moving
includes
the
physical
health,
vital
records,
a
dental
clinic
WIC
offices,
district,
child
health
prevention
services
and
district
clinical.
So
all
of
those
clinical
services
will
be
at
the
new
location.
The
services
related
to
typically
businesses
will
remain
at
2,100,
comer,
Avenue.
Okay,
thank.
J
Y
A
C
A
L
H
Right,
mr.
mayor,
yes,
sir
and
I'm
gonna
look
to
the
city
attorney,
but
I
think
we
need
some
clear
direction
as
to
whether
we're
gonna
continue
to
meet
here
through
the
month
of
July.
Certainly
with
all
this
going
on
with
numbers
and
all
we
just
I
guess
we
need
to
make
it
clear
to
the
public
and
for
the
record.
A
Yeah,
that's
good!
That's
that's!
A
good
idea
to
get
you
get
the
city
attorney
to
weigh
in
I.
Tell
you
my
personal
opinion,
I!
Think
it's
too
soon
for
us
to
go
back
and
those
council
chambers
I
think
it's
as
long
as
we
can
make
this
functional
as
long
as
it
meets
the
requirements
and
I
think
I
think
it's
just
a
safer
environment
here
for
visitors
and
for
the
councillors.
A
K
Mayor,
it
is
certainly
your
discretion
whether
to
stay
here
or
not
the
governor's
emergency
orders,
as
you
know,
in
this
month,
really
the
beginning
of
July,
and
there
has
been
a
an
extension
of
the
judicial
declaration
of
emergency
all
the
way
through
July,
maybe
into
August.
But
it's
your
discretion.
You
certainly
can
take
into
account
all
the
health
factors
of
the
week
that
are
pertinent
and
relevant,
and
it's
certainly
your
prerogative
to
stay
here
for
a
while
until
you
have
more
information
well.
A
H
There
is
a
cost
adjustment.
Mr.
mayor
I
mean
a
cost,
but
what
I
haven't
done
and
I
don't
know
when
our
equipment
is
going
to
get
here,
but
we
have
ordered
our
own
equipment
because
we
can,
and
so
we
will
be
right
now-
we're
using
a
private
vendor
to
and
their
equipment,
but
we
will
have
our
own
and
be
able
to
do
it
go
into
the
future
and
it
will
be
one
of
our
covert
19
expenses,
the
cost
of
purchase
of
the
equipment,
but
there'll
be
a
cost
recovery.
H
H
AA
H
We
did
not
because
we
have
direct
control,
obviously
of
the
Civic
Center
through
the
deputy
city
manager
and
through
you,
the
mayor
and
council,
and
we
knew
that
this
would
provide
us
a
much
larger
space
to
spread
out
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
chairs,
and
so
we
thought
I
mean
the
trade
center
has
a
larger
ballroom.
We,
you
know,
but
we
just
didn't.
We
don't
have
a
control
there
that
we
have
here.
Okay,
thank.

A

O
C

C
A
C
C
We
have
council
appointments,
any
nominations
will
be
listed
for
the
next
meeting,
the
Board
of
Water
commissioners,
the
seat
of
Rodney
close.
He
is
not
eligible
to
serve
another
term
of
office.
This
is
counsel's
appointment
and
we
are
accepting.
Nominations
did
want
to
mention
that
there
are
no
senatorial
district
15
representatives
on
this
board.
C
A
A
Thank
you
ma'am,
and
we
had
a
request
to
go
yep
both
of
them
we're
on
personnel
yep.
So
we've
had
a
request
to
go
in
the
executive
session.
I
think
you
made
a
motion
today,
all
right.
Its
motion
in
second
to
go
into
executive
session,
discuss
personnel
issue
all
in
favor,
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
We
will
reconvene
an
executive
session.
