Among

Thank

We

all

Well,

all

We've

the
Columbus

and
Rec

after-school

They're

B
F
B
B
B
K
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
mr.
attorney,
it's
good
to
see
you
again
tonight.
We
are
wrapping
up
several
of
our
audits.
We've
got
a
couple
of
short
ones
that
we
were
finishing
up
and
we'd
like
now
to
move
into
what
a
couple
of
years
ago,
we
had
planned
to
be
a
transition
all
right,
but
now
it's
just
going
to
be
a
departmental
audit.
K
B
B
All
you
do
okay
and,
as
you
all
know,
that
a
regular
Watchers
of
our
meetings,
we
have
a
director
of
crime
prevention,
Seth
Brown,
we're
gonna,
call
him
forward
and
he
comes
forward
once
a
year
with
grant
recommendations,
and
this
year
he
has
quite
a
few.
And
so
we
look
forward
to
hearing
about
all
the
great
programs
that
are
gonna
help.
The
community
help
the
kids
in
this
community
and
help
grow
opportunities
and
reduce
crime.
So
good
evening.
M
Thank
You
mayor
Thank,
You
council,
for
having
me
here
I,
wanted
to
hit
a
couple
of
points
of
the
programs
that
y'all
funded
last
year.
We're
still
getting
data
from
those
individuals
but
from
for
most
part
we
have
all
the
data
in.
But
the
the
key
thing
in
all
these
programs
is
education
is
key
to
to
fulfilling
a
more
crime,
a
crime,
less
society.
I
should
say
we
had
3500,
plus
participants
that
were
treated
of
those.
Eighty
percent
of
those
were
students
with
in
Muskogee
County
school
systems
pair,
which
is
a
program
through
Springer.
M
East
Columbus
magnet
also
had
significant
results,
but
the
the
ninety
three
percent
decrease
I
had
to
read
it
a
few
times.
The
Boys
and
Girls
Club
has
the
DPI
system,
which
stands
for
delinquency
print
initiative.
They
had
59
juveniles
referred
and
of
those
61
percent
of
those
completed
the
program
at
which
meant
39
had
completed.
What
that
means
is
it's
a
significant
decrease
in
the
cost
of
taxpayers.
M
These
individuals
are
on
the
bubble
of
going
to
to
youth
detention
facilities
or
removed
from
the
school
system
and
youth
detention
cost
anywhere
from
191
to
a
little
over
$200
a
day
for
juveniles.
This
program,
total
was
45,000
last
year,
so
you're
talking
a
significant
decrease
and
I'll
go
over
that
more.
M
When
we
go
over
the
the
grants,
the
music
matters
program,
26%,
increase
in
academic
achievement,
33%
increase
in
language
and
reading
skills,
girls,
Inc
had
520
girls
involved
and
through
the
stride
rate
program,
they
saw
a
97
percent
increase
in
vocabulary
and
acquisition
through
literacy,
42%
increase
in
reading
comprehension.
Eighty
three
percent
increase
in
reading
level
or
one
full
grade
level.
The
chat
about
gel
ministry
had
22
gd's
awarded
106
participated.
M
Y'all
know
that
the
the
GED
broke
program
done
through
the
the
the
the
chhatua
value
jail
ministry
that
they
have
a
30
percent
higher
or
lower
recidivism
rate
over
children.
Kids,
who
don't
go
through
anything
that
is
an
amazing
program,
know
if
it's
folks,
an
african-american
youth
had
68%
of
its
participants
that
increase
their
grades
in
every
category.
M
Let's
see,
oh
the
boys
and
girls
Dodie
pea
I
was
telling
you
it
would
cost
fourteen
thousand
dollars
per
day,
as
opposed
to
forty
five
thousand
a
year
for
those
kids
that
we
had
to
go
through
the
DPI
system.
So
that's
the
the
significance.
Tax
savings
opened
or
had
a
hundred
and
sixty
nine
kids
involved
of
those
165
were
below
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
household
income.
Ninety
percent
of
those
were
above
grade
level
in
reading,
100
percent
were
promoted
to
the
next
grade
level.
M
Twenty
five
percent-
that's
worked
in
music
training
and
I
got
two
more
427.
Adults
were
trained
through
building
toward
wellness,
which
is
a
program
that
educates
our
community
on
sex
trafficking
and
child
sexual
abuse,
and
through
that
program
we
had
four
hundred
and
twenty
seven
people
trained
to
recognize
those.
If
you
know,
if
you're
not
aware
I'm
sure
you
are
sex,
trafficking
trafficking
has
become
a
significant
problem
in
the
state
of
Georgia,
and
so
they
were
work
to
that.
We
also
had
another
program.
It
did
the
same
overflow,
which
is
a
ministry
within
itself.
M
M
They
they
had
a
video
that
came
out
that
I
think
I
shared
with
y'all
I
can't
remember.
I
know
my
board
saw
it
that
talked
about
some
of
the
people
that
they
had
impacted
through
their
program
and
it
was
shared
five
thousand
times
they
worked
with
a
hundred
and
thirty
kids
this
year
and
they
also
do
vocational
sweet
programs,
academic
advancement,
there's
a
multitude
of
thing,
so
I'm
running
really
fast
and
I.
Just
wanna
get
job
done
so
now
we're
at
the
point
of
going
over.
This
year's
list
queue
the
footage.
M
Okay,
the
first
one
here
is
Big
Brothers,
Big
Sisters
recommended
for
$20,000.
It's
a
mentoring
program.
They
work
with
somewhere
close
to
150
to
200
kids
each
year
between
the
ages
of
6
to
17,
as
y'all
know
that
they
take
people
that
work
with
these
children
to
spend
time
with
them.
Go
to
the
movies
help
with
homework
spend
the
day
with
them.
Those
kind
of
things.
M
Mary,
do
you
want
me
to
go
through
each
one,
and
how
do
you
want
me
to
do
it?
Okay,
okay,
okay,
yes,
ma'am,
Boys
and
Girls
Club
I,
just
told
you
about
the
DPI
system.
The
dinkler
is
a
preventive
initiative,
they're
requesting
forty
five
thousand
dollars.
They're
referred
through
miss
code,
County
school
system
and
through
the
juvenile
court
system,
this
year,
they're
planning
to
work
with
sixty
children.
These
are
the
most
at-risk
kids
that
will
probably
be,
as
I
said,
go
into
the
youth
dissent,
youth
detention
facility
outside
of
working
with
dpi.
M
They
have
a
case
manager
also
that
works
with
them,
each
one
of
them
bridge
requesting
18,000
they
50-plus
participants
each
year.
These
are
18
to
23,
is
the
average
that
they
work
with.
These
are
significant
risk
individuals
that
have
tried
multiple
times
to
get
through
this
process
and
bridge
spins.
The
money
that
we
provide
bridge
spends
more
time
with
these
individuals
as
far
as
tutoring
and
that
kind
of
stuff
to
get
them
through
the
GED
process
changing
faces
within
$10,000.
M
M
30%
decrease
over
Sid
abysm
over
the
average
program
or
no
program
columbus
community
center
local
community
center,
which
services
all
title:
one:
children,
a
very
high-risk
population
where
parents
a
lot
of
single-family,
POW
Souls,
where
mom's
working
late,
these
kids
go
there.
They
have
homework
help.
They
also
have
recreational
help,
those
kind
of
things
to
monitor
those
children.
M
Let's
see
Columbus
Police
Department.
Thirty-Five
thousand
for
the
dare
to
be
great
program,
which
is
a
summer
program
which
deals
with
all
the
way
from
elementary
school
into
the
middle
school
programs.
It
was
a
program
unique
to
Columbus.
They
created
it.
They
combined
the
Dare
and
the
grade
into
one,
and
they
operate
out
of
you.
Stop
right
out
of
Fort
middle
school
in
double
churches
and
I
think
they
still
operate
out
of
four.
The
we've
had
so
much
success
with
that.
M
We've
actually
had
residents
in
the
community
come
to
us
and
tell
us
how
much
they
appreciate
the
program
operating
in
their
area.
That's
the
Columbus
Symphony
Orchestra,
which
is
operating
the
Music
Matters
program,
because
a
string
and
percussion
program
that
operates
out
of
downtown
elementary
Dawson
and
Jensen.
That
was
a
program
I
told
you
recently
funded
last
year
that
had
tremendous
results
as
far
as
an
increase
in
grades
and
office,
deferrals
were
decreased.
M
As
far
as
that
went,
let's
see
famous
Senate
of
Columbus,
which
is
the
fast
program
they
operate
out
of
five
of
elementary
schools.
It's
an
intensive
family
program
where
they
bring
all
members
of
the
family
in
for
therapy
homework.
Hell
mealtime
recreation
time
in
it's
a
90-day
program.
These
kids
are
also
children
that
have
been
referred
by
the
counselors
within
their
schools
and
have
significant
issues:
girls,
e-girls
inc,
$37,000.
What
we
fund
the
girls
Inc
is
the
stride
right
program
and
the
college
prep
program.
Last
year
we
had
over
five
hundred
girls
involved.
M
In
that
program
we
saw
significant
increases
in
reading
math
scores
their
GRE
scores.
There
I
mean
we
can
go
down
the
list
of
all
the
different
stuff
that
they
had
done
well
at
and
then
the
college
prep
they
would
have
accounts
or
Skype
in
from
different
colleges,
to
talk
to
the
girls
about
what
it
would
take
to
get
to
the
next
level
and
how
they
could
apply
and
the
fast
for
applications
and
stuff
like
that
next
page
hope,
Harbour
hope,
harbor
for
29,000.
M
The
initiatives
we
fund
with
hope
Harbor
are
not
specifically
to
the
center
itself.
It's
for
education
of
the
community
of
individuals
and
also
resources
to
those
those
people.
As
far
as
counseling
and
such
like
that,
Lindsay
will
take
their
show
on
the
road.
I
should
say
to
basically
educate
women
on
what
it
takes
to
get
out
of
that
situation.
We
know
that
those
people
that
are
or
with
a
person
of
violence
tend
to
get
wrapped
up
in
that
same
violence
and
also
if
we
can
break
the
cycle
with
em
a
lot
of
times.
M
We
can
break
the
cycle
with
the
husband
or
spouse,
or
you
know,
partner
itself.
Let's
see,
let's
go
steamed
$35,000,
let's
go
steam
is
a.
It
is
a
conglomerate
of
things.
It
is
a
soap
box,
education,
job,
fair
of
after-school
tutoring
stem
classes,
a
little
bit
of
everything.
Last
year
they
had
a
job
fair
at
education,
slash
job
fair
at
the
the
Trade
Center
and
had
I
want
to
say.
4,000
children
attend
from
all
the
different
school
same
thing
with
the
soap
box
derby.
M
Liberty
theater
Liberty
theatre
is
one
that
I've
been
in
discussions
with
with
dr.
Anderson
on
multiple
occasions.
She's
already
had
the
program
in
place
and
then
she
and
I
met
over
the
past
year,
multiple
times
to
make
sure
that
what
they
were
doing
was
really
good
for
what
the
needs
would
be
for
our
community.
M
That
program
deals
with
middle
some
Baker
middle
school
young
men
in
there
and
men
that
just
have
problems
as
far
as
education
as
far
as
anger,
as
far
as
you
know,
being
still
in
school,
whatever
it
takes,
and
dr.
Anderson
works
with
these
through
mentors
through
educators,
tutoring
there's
just
a
multi-faceted
program.
That's
dealing
with
some
of
our
roast
most
at-risk
men,
that's
eighth
grade
and
night.
Well,
its
eighth
grade,
then
there's
a
ninth
grade
class
that
rolls
over
into
it.
M
So
they've
they've
got
a
double
exposure,
but
those
eighth
graders
have
two
years
in
the
program.
Eventually:
literacy,
Alliance
literacy,
Alliance
this
year
the
board
wanted
to
fund
$30,000
for
kindergarten
awareness
and
adult
literacy.
Those
were
the
two
facets.
They
felt
that
they
could
have
the
most
bang
for
the
buck.
Obviously,
adult
literacy
is
tied
hand-in-hand
with
crime
prevention.
We
know
that
literacy
labor
rates
go
hand
in
hand
with
what
we
see
as
far
as
crime
numbers,
and
so
they
felt
that
was
a
important
program
to
fund
mr.
cane
marshal's
office.
M
M
Neighborhood
folks,
on
african-american
youth
operates
out
of
Farley
homes
and
Elizabeth
canny.
It
is
a
an
after-school
program
that
deals
with
tutors.
They
they
Cheryl
bursh
runs
that
program
as
she's,
been
in
Columbus.
For
fifteen
years-
and
we
have
only
funded
her
I
think
for
four
years
now,
she.
M
There's
a
lot
of
again
a
lot
of
these
have
different
aspects
to
him,
but
hers
teaches
leadership.
It
teaches
parenting
skills
to
the
parents.
They
have
to
be
involved
at
some
in
some
way,
shape
or
form
it
has
after
tools
after
school
tutoring.
It
has
a
stem
program
involved.
They
have
access
to
computers
that
they
utilize
for
homework.
There's
more
intensive
needs.
They
bring
in
a
tutor
from
the
outside
from
the
school
system
that
will
educate
them
and
whether
it
be
science
or
math
or
whatever
the
needs
are
so
she
kind
of
spearheads
that
area.
M
They
also
do
virtual
college
tours
or
they'll
look
to
see,
basically,
where
these
kids
can
be.
You
know
enlightened
about
what
their
options
are,
so
to
speak
office
of
dispute
resolution
21,000,
it's
it's
the
legitimation
stations.
What
most
people
know
it
by
the
what
it
does
is
it
provides
legal
help
to
father's
who
do
not
have
access
to
their
children.
M
Unbeknownst.
To
me,
the
state
of
Georgia
does
not
give
fathers
who
have
not
been
legitimized
a
whole
lot
of
options
when
it
comes
to
their
children,
and
this
helps
to
basically
put
that
father
back
in
the
child's
life.
We
know
through
statistics,
that
that
is
instrumental
in
raising
the
child,
and
that
is
what
the
legitimation
station
does
open
door
community.
They
have
a
program.
That's
that's
afterschool,
which
deals
with
children
that
are
on
the
severe
poverty
range,
as
I
had
said,
that
93
percent
of
the
kids
involved
have
a
household
income
of
10,000
or
less.
M
These
children
are
provided,
tutoring
manners
programs
in
just
after-school
care
for
the
most
part,
but
it's
very
intensive
from
the
fact
that
everything
centered
around
education
and
it
occurs
at
opened
or
the
overflow
outreach
program.
I
just
spoke
about
the
Rileys
and
how
they're
running
that
program.
There's
that
several
different
programs
rolled
into
one
one
of
them
is
the
the
the
mannequin
house
where
they
they
work
with
these
kids,
and
it
could
be
anything
from
they're
having
issues
and
they
have
need
to
talk
to
somebody
or
they.
M
You
know
you
know,
work
on
homework
or
their
program.
The
building
they
operate
out
of
is
downtown
off
in
the
historic
district.
They
have
another
building.
That
is
the
actual
barber
shop
which
is
off
making
road
where
they
have
a
sweepers
program
where
they
bring
these
kids
in
and
they
you
know,
can
sweep
up
or
whatever,
and
they
can
earn
a
little
extra
money,
but
the
big.
What
the
kids
don't
realize
it
now
and
I
would
encourage
anybody
just
to
go.
Look
at
it.
M
M
They've
got
way
more
kids.
Then
they
can
help
at
this
point.
So
hopefully
that
will
happen
in
the
future.
But
anyway,
that's
that's
the
the
overflow
program
right
from
start
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
for
a
family
wellness
program.
This
was
a
program
that
we
have
wanted
to
do
last
year.
That
y'all
actually
approved
to
find
that
they
had
split
away
from
the
Pastoral
Institute
and
it
changed
all
the
contracts
and
everything
and
we
just
couldn't
fund
it
legally.
M
We
had
to
back
out
of
the
contract
so
this
year
we're
doing
they
ran
the
program
last
year
without
us
and
this
year,
they're
going
to
do
it
again.
It
occurs
at
4th,
Street
Baptist,
South
Columbus,
United
Methodist,
and
it
is
a
a
parenting
program.
The
the
doctrine
comes
from
a
military
program
that
we
went
to
Paschal
Institute,
where
the
director
of
the
president
of
pestilence,
who
had
ran
this
in
Texas
and
I,
had
told
him.
M
I
said
you
know,
we
really
need
something
to
help
that
parenting
aspect
of
where
we're
lacking
so
much
I
said
we
have.
You
know,
kids,
raising
kids
in
some
cases
or
people,
they
just
don't
know
any
better,
and
how
do
we
fix
that?
And
so
he
sat
down
with
right
from
the
start
and
they
basically
organized
this.
This
program
that's
occurring
in
churches.
M
M
We've
also
seen
increases
in
grades
of
those
kids,
as
well
as
a
significant
decrease
in
violence
or
outburst
in
class,
because
now
they
have
been
given
the
tools
to
deal
with
problems
that
don't
involve
their
fists
or
yelling
or
whatever
the
case
may
be:
teen
advisors
for
$25,000.
We
don't
fund
the
actual
teen
advisors
program
as
a
whole.
We
fund
what's
called
elevate
and
impact
which
deals
with
fifth
graders
in
ninth
graders,
because
those
are
the
two
most
at-risk
populations
that
we
have.
M
M
The
WORX
program
is
operating
out
of
$35,000
is
operating
out
of
Carver
this
past
year
we
saw
a
significant
decrease
in
out-of-school
suspensions
through
them,
they're
working
in
a
mall,
so
they're
looking
to
move
into
kinder,
because
we've
seen
a
increase
in
expulsion
that
Kendra
and
violent
behavior.
So
dr.
Cox
said
that
that
would
be
I
mean
dr.
flowers
said
that
would
be
a
good
program
that
we
could
move
into
there.
It's
been.
The
school
system
has
been
very
supportive
of
it,
and
we've
seen
some
dramatic
decreases
in
violent
behavior
because
of
dr.
M
flowers
program
it
it's
gotten
like
I
said
it's
got
multiple
multi
multiple
levels
of
achievement,
but
he's
gotten
really
good
at
placing
some
strong
mentors
in
these.
For
the
most
part,
young
men's
lives
to
try
to
counteract
some
of
the
behavior
that
we're
seeing
in
the
schools
itself.
The
YMCA
$20,000
this
program.
The
program
that
they're
implementing
in
Columbus
is
a
nationwide
program
that
they
have
that
they
wanted
to
bring
to
Columbus.
M
The
last
one
is
the
young
life
program
for
$25,000.
This
program
targets,
young
females,
teen
pregnancy
and
graduation
rates
and
their
their
school.
At
this
point,
their
target
school
is
Carver
high
school
and
it
will.
It
is
a
is
a
unique
program
that
was
written
by
them
to
specifically
deal
with
those
areas
within
Carver,
High
School.
At
this
point,
if
it's
successful,
they
will
expand
it
into
other
schools
as
they
go
forward
and
that's
it.
B
N
M
Ma'am
February
starts
the
cycle,
for
the
most
part,
I
will
get
a
lot
of
people
January
favorite
contacting
me.
Calling
me
want
me
to
visit
with
them
to
discuss.
You
know
the
aspects
of
the
application.
What
do
I
see?
What
do
I
don't
see,
what's
good,
what's
bad,
that
kind
of
stuff,
so
I,
just
kind
of
give
them
advice,
here's
kind
of
what
the
board
likes
to
see
this
information
and
then
March
31st
is
the
deadline.
So
at
that
point,
March
31st
they
start
rolling.
M
M
They
will
spend
two
weeks
for
viewing
those
applications,
those
10
that
I
gave
them
and
then
they'll
come
back
as
a
board
and
spend
probably
the
next
two
hours
and
that
two
week
mark
reviewing
those
ten
they
had
then
they'll
say
like
let's
say
they
had
two
that
just
really
didn't
match
up
at
all.
It
just
didn't.
Didn't
fit
in
the
needs
of
what
the
city
was
looking
for
in
crime
prevention.
They
would
take
those
two
aside
and
say:
okay,
these
eight
fit
inside
the
guidelines
of
what's
needed.
M
These
two
just
don't
quite
work,
they're,
not
bad
applications,
they
just
probably
just
don't
fit
so
then
they
take
those
eight
and
they
slide
those
aside,
and
then
they
do
the
next
ten
or
the
eleven
and
the
next
11
when
they
finish
with
all
that
process
and
they're,
like
this
time,
I'm
doing
all
spreadsheets
and
stuff
for
them
and
send
them
information
in
their
notes
and
all
that
what
they've
done
then
I
give
at
the
end
they
take.
Let's
say
they
ended
up
with
like
this
time.
I
think
it
was
26.
M
They
have
26
left
at
the
end
and
then
they
start
trying
to
figure
out.
Okay.
This
program
should
be
a
lot
of
this
much
money
based
on
their
needs,
their
requirements.
How
long
have
we
funded
them
before?
Have
they
not
and
that
board
that
7
person
board
kind
of
does
all
that
moves
all
the
pieces
around?
But
it's
a
it's
about.
M
M
That
they
I
call
them
an
advisement
board
because
technically
they
have
no
power;
they
they
advise
me
what
they
want
to
bring
to
y'all,
and
then
it
comes
here
and
then
this
body
votes
on
it.
So
there's
it's
I,
consider
it
like
a
double
process.
Almost
they
have
to
approve
it.
Then
I
got
to
come
here
and
get
y'all
to
approve
it.
G
L
O
Was
just
I'm
glad
you
asked
that
question
Judy
I'd
like
to
add
that
the
members
of
the
of
this
can
what
I
like
about
it
is
that
you
have
those
members
of
the
council
that
actually
go
and
they
ferret
out
information.
They
actually
check
these
organizations
to
make
sure
that
what
they
receive
and
writing
it's
actually
so
and
the
reason
I'm
saying
is
because
I've
heard
so
many
times.
O
Yes,
sir,
and
and
I'd
like
to
also
add,
because
I
know
that
you
do
I'm,
not
I,
don't
know
you
don't
want
me
to
be
saying
this,
but
you
also
go
out
a
number
of
the
individuals
that
come
to
me
and
somebody
that
you
have
going
to
show
I
like
this
program.
I'm
really
thankful
for
the
fact,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
organizations
in
this
community
that
have
good
hearts
and
good
intentions,
but,
as
everyone
knows,
you've
got
to
have
those
dead
presidents.
O
In
order
to
anything
yes,
sir,
and
so
right,
you
know
it's
it's
an
unfortunate
situation
that
people
have
really
good
and
I
know
of
many
more
out
there
that
that
need
to
apply
for
funding.
But
there
are
many
organizations
what
I
like
the
even
individual
that
have
come
to
you,
that
I
know
and
you've
taken
the
time
to
explain
to
them
that
you
need
to
be
a
501c3.
Yes,
sir,
and
you're
going
through
the
steps.
O
The
reason
I
know
that,
because
I've
sent
them
to
you,
yes,
sir,
and
so
I
appreciate
all
that
you
and
the
individual
members
of
the
board
do
because
you
do
work
extremely
hard
and
whatever,
and
if,
unless
any
other
members
of
council,
have
an
objection.
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
to
well
for
us
to
grant
the
funding
for
these
programs
here
that.
G
G
G
P
Good
afternoon,
Council
agree
more
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
crime,
prevention
board
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
trusting
us
with
the
city's
funds.
Through
this
process,
we
really
try
to
be
diligent
and
thoughtful
to
those
organizations
that
are
interested
in
helping
the
community
prevent
crime.
So
thank
you
for
trusting
me
well.
B
M
Q
They've
done
a
superb
job
and
you
know
I,
guess
that
one
all
startled
me
well.
Excuse
me,
mayor
weather
today,
I
did
have
a
lot
of
questions
and
I
think
even
voted
against
the
creation
of
the
office,
because
I
was
concerned
about
another
department
head
with
what
he
could
afford
it.
Yes,
so
I
was
the
one
one
of
the
ones
that
voted
against
it,
but
you've
done
an
outstanding
job.
Q
Thank
you
because
if
everybody
doesn't
know
you
know
the
feds
aren't
going
to
come
help
us
the
stakes,
not
it's
on
us
and
if
we
don't
go
into
these
places
and
help
these
kids
and
do
these
things
these
type
of
programs
we're
not
going
to
attack
the
cycle.
You
can't
just
you
know,
police
everybody.
You've
got
to
hit
it
from
both
sides
and.
Q
B
You
and
what
councillor
Baker
says
in
which
you
mentioned
Seth,
is
so
important,
because
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
debate
in
our
community,
always
about
crime
right
and
one
of
the
things
we
are
seeing
where
this
program
in
law
enforcement
is
really
making
a
difference.
We're
where
the
Oh
lost
the
investment
the
citizens
made
is
making
a
difference.
Different
is
that
on
property
crimes
were
down
almost
50%.
That
is
unheard
of,
and
those
are
your
entry-level
crimes.
B
B
Here
we
are
ten
years
basically
from
when
we
invested
in
the
Oh
lost
and
we
used
to
have
fifteen
thousand
five
hundred
crimes
a
year
over
half
of
those
were
property
crimes
and,
and
then
those
ten
years,
those
kids
as
13
14
15
year
olds,
have
graduated
to
some
of
the
ones
that
were
pulling
off
the
streets
and
the
in
the
headlines
today.
Right,
but
now
we're
down
to.
You
know
less
than
half
of
that
and
so
we're
making
less
criminals.
You
know
in
in
six
seven
eight.
B
B
M
H
Thank
you
all
for
your
diligence
and
all
that
you
do
to
try
to
make
this
city
better.
I
pray.
He
said
out
have
a
good
time
this
year
to
get
around
and
see
you
all,
because
I
like
to
be
around
the
kids
and
see
what's
going
on,
because
it's
it's
a
difference.
I
spoke
Saturday
morning
at
Spencer's
and
stated
the
fact
that
my
mother
was
a
schoolteacher,
so
I'm
always
interested
in
the
fact
that
you
don't
give
up
on
kids.
H
Some
have
a
rougher
route,
a
rougher
trail
to
plays
than
others,
and
those
of
us
that
have
had
an
opportunity
to
get
their
education,
get
through
the
process
and
get
a
good
job.
Sometimes
we
don't
have
time
to
look
back,
so
thank
you
for
taking
time
to
spend
with
them
and
I'm
gonna
dedicate
a
little
bit
more
time
myself
to
come
and
check
on
what
you're
doing.
Thank
you.
B
B
Okay.
Our
next
item
is
an
action
item.
We
have
the
request
for
their
approval:
approval
of
the
minutes
from
July
31
2018
it,
which
was
an
executive
session
and
the
August
14th
2018
council
meeting.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
for
the
Mayor
Pro
Tem.
Is
there
any
changes
all
right?
All
those
in
favor,
please
state
I,
okay,
and
we
will
head
then
into
the
City
Attorney's
agenda.
Mr.
peck
Thank.
T
B
T
N
T
T
I
Be
glad
to
my
name
is
George
miles
I'm
with
the
law
firm
of
Paige
crinum
I
am
your
applicant.
The
developer
in
this
particular
situation
is
Graystone
properties,
of
course,
local
well-respected
developer,
having
developed
over
4,000
multifamily
units
and
about
2,000
single
family
units.
But
what
they're
proposing
today
and
I
do
have
a
powerpoint
presentation,
but
I
just
just
give
you
an
idea
of
what
we're
what
we're
proposes
the
conceptual
layout,
but
what
mr.
I
white
is
proposing
to
do
is
256
units
on
57
acres
of
land,
that's
about
15
percent
of
the
density
that
would
ordinarily
be
allowed
under
the
RO
classification
under
the
you
do.
So
that's
a
combination
of
course,
of
this
challenging
topography
there,
plus
it's
just
consistent
with
the
developments
that
mr.
white
does
it's
kind
of
an
upscale,
less
dense
type
development.
I
I
You've
got
Walden
Pond
Apartments,
you've
got
Summit
Point
luxury
apartments
and
villas.
You've
also
got
low
water
apartments
and
you
got
great
stone
at
the
crossing,
so
you're
talking
about
a
use
that
is
consistent
with
the
surrounding
properties.
It's
been.
It's
been
approved
unanimously
by
the
pact
and
has
been
approved
by
a
planning
forum.
I.
U
T
T
V
R
Just
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
Magnolia,
Manor
or
55
year
old
organization,
faith
based
ministry
serving
senior
adults,
mostly
in
South
Georgia,
not-for-profit
501c3
heritage
of
our
company
started
in
the
United
Methodist
Church
in
Americus
Georgia,
and
we
are
served
by
a
volunteer
board,
most
of
which
are
in
Americus,
but
two
of
which
are
in
Columbus.
We
have
eight
locations
throughout
South
Georgia,
starting
in
Americus
Macon
Moultrie,
st.
Simons,
st.
Mary's,
Richmond
Hill
may
Marin
County,
and
then
we
also
on
a
property.
R
The
property
that
we
we've
been
in
Columbus
was
on
warm
spring
road.
It
was
the
old
oak
and
pine
manor
facilities.
We
actually
took
over
operation
of
those
facilities
in
2006,
but
we
purchased
them
in
2011.
This
would
be
an
additional
property
that
we're
looking
at
proposing
and
admits
it's
going
to
talk
about
the
details.
Well,.
W
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Mitch
Elliott
architect
with
RDG
planning
and
design
based
out
of
Omaha
Nebraska.
So
we
were
the
architects
on
the
Spring
Harbor
project
a
few
years
back,
so
we
love
coming
to
Columbus
and
helping
to
create
an
impact
for
your
older
citizens.
As
as
you
can
see
up
here,
the
focus
of
this
project
is
middle-market:
it's
not
the
high-end
market,
but
that
middle
market.
W
We
continue
as
architects
and
planners
and
the
development
team
to
reframe
and
work
on
this
site
plan.
So
this
is
the
most
up-to-date
site
plan
that
we
have
at
the
top
of
the
sheet
is
Veterans
Parkway,
so
we
have
just
we've
broken
all
the
rules
on
the
fact
that
North
is
to
the
right
rather
than
up
in
this
document,
but
it
formats
better.
That
way
so
Veterans
Parkway
is
to
the
top
of
the
document
and
Pierce
Chapel
Road
is
to
the
right
of
the
document.
W
The
one
difference
that
we've
made
is
that
the
main
entrance
to
the
retirement
community
is
off
of
Pierce,
Chapel
Road
and
there's
only
one
entrance.
So
we've
pulled
that
away
from
the
intersection
of
Veterans
Parkway
and
Pierce
Chapel
Road
the
research
that
we've
done.
That
has
been
a
bit
of
a
suspect,
interchange,
and
so
we
want
to
pull
the
traffic
patterns
back.
W
As
far
as
we
can
to
maintain
a
safe
environment
for
members
for
elders
and
anyone
that
may
be
coming
to
this
campus,
what
we're
showing
as
we
develop
the
drawings
and
the
design
is,
and
we're
going
to
be
we're
working
through
the
branding
of
this
with
Magnolia
Manor.
But
it's
really
a
lodge
at
Magnolia
Manor.
It's
going
to
have
a
lodge,
feel
a
lodge
motif.
It's
really
going
to
be
casual,
a
casual
setting,
but
very
residential
in
quality.
So
and
I.
Don't
necessarily
have
a
way
can
I
point
with
this
Bruce.
X
W
W
Then
we
have
four
stories
of
independent
living
apartments
on
the
rental
basis
and
then,
as
you
will
see,
the
balance
of
the
property
are
the
24
entrance
fee
cottages,
single-story,
two-car
garage
0
entry
level,
so
it
really
caters
to
to
the
needs
of
the
elders
that
gives
a
snapshot.
It
was
interesting.
My
uber
driver
today,
bringing
me
from
the
airport
to
the
hotel,
explained
that
she
attends
Pierce
Chapel
Church,
and
she
was
frustrated
with
us
because
we
were
going
to
wipe
out
all
the
trees.
Well,
I
had
to
help
her
understand.
W
That
is
not
our
intent,
nor
is
it
is
it
allowed
to
wipe
out
all
the
trees?
We
really
have
a
perimeter,
a
buffer
zone
on
all
four
sides
of
the
property
that
we
will
be
preserving
the
heavily
wooded
area,
then
we're
also
working
with
our
Landscape
Architects
to
create
it's
really
a
lodge
in
the
wood,
so
we're
create
the
landscaping
necessary
to
create
a
very
organic
outdoor
and
indoor
space
within
the
property.
So,
as
you
can
see
the
outline
of
the
trees,
it's
a
bit
of
diagrammatic,
but
it
shows
what
those
spaces
will
look
like.
W
Oh
my
gosh
now
I
need
to
erase
clear
all
that
would
not
have
been
helpful
in
the
rest
of
it.
So
the
proposed
development
to
schedule
may
knowing
a
man
aboard
has
a
very
critical
review
in
October.
As
the
board
gathers,
they
gathered
last
April
as
represented
the
master
plan
for
the
site
and
the
concepts,
and
what
we
do
is
we
look
at
developing
the
master
plan,
the
site
plan
and
a
business
model
to
make
sure
that
everything
works.
W
The
way
it
should
be
so
that's
a
sustainable
development
from
Magnolia
Manor
and
for
the
community
of
Columbus
assuming
approval
by
the
board,
and
there
are
many
check
points
that
the
board
have
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
viable
project
walking
through
from
November
to
June
of
next
year.
We,
as
architects
and
engineers
will
be
completing
the
documents.
Magnolia
Manor
will
have
again
a
second
opportunity
to
review
in
April
to
make
sure
that
all
the
numbers
are
working
out.
Things
are
aligning,
we
will
go
through
a
GMP
or
a
guaranteed.
W
Maximum
price
pricing
exercise
was
shared
in
construction.
Sheridan
is
the
general
contractor
the
construction
manager
of
choice
there,
based
on
the
Macon
and
Magnolia
Manor,
has
a
long
and
successful
history
with
Sheridan.
That's
in
the
early
part
of
the
summer.
They
were
working
on
that
pricing
exercise
all
things
working
together
for
the
good.
We
will
be
looking
at
a
September
construction
start
and
a
construction
completion
of
January
2021
take
time
to
start
up
resident
move-ins
as
early
as
March
2021.
W
So
that
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
pace,
the
rhythm
and
the
development
schedule
that
that
we
will
have
again,
it's
all
predicated
on
us
doing
a
good
job
as
architects
and
engineers,
the
business
model
working
for
the
Magnolia
Manor
board
as
we
walk
forward
now.
What
is
the
community
impact
I'm
going
to
show
you
some
numbers
at
this
point
in
time,
we're
looking
at
60
million
dollars
worth
of
construction?
That
would
happen
on
the
campus.
We're
not
phasing
the
construction,
so
this
will
be
all
completed
in
about
that
18-month
period
of
time
now.
W
What
we're
looking
at
is
190
full-time
equivalent
employees
and
when
you
conclude
that
combine
that
with
part-time
employees,
that's
about
250
new
employees.
That
will
be
that
will
be
working
on
this
campus
and
that's
at
the
that's
at
the
point
of
stability,
which
is
about
2000
2024
2025.
That
would
happen
day
one
as
we
work
through
anywhere
from
24
to
36
months,
we'll
fill
up
again,
some
numbers
at
the
point
of
stable
occupancy,
we're
projecting
6.2
million
in
terms
of
annual
payroll.
That
does
not
include
the
value
of
benefits,
that's
just
salary
and
wages.
W
For
the
employees
within
that
are
working
within
the
lodge
at
Magnolia,
Manor
and
bottom
line
is,
we
will
have
302
lives
that
will
be
amazingly
impacted
by
the
culture
and
by
the
environment
that
we're
creating
on
this
retirement
community.
So
we
entertain
any
questions
that
you
may
have
regarding
this
project.
Okay,.
Y
You
mayor
a
a
couple
of
questions,
if
you
could
help
me
walk
through
this
I'm
very
impressed
with
the
presentation
and
glad
you're
you're
moving
to
the
to
this
area,
it
happens
to
fall
in
the
northwest
corner
of
my
council
district.
So
I've
had
a
couple
of
questions.
I
hope
you
can
help
me
with
one
was
the
buffer
from
the
pictures
you've
shown.
Y
It
looks
like
you've
made
a
quite
extensive
buffer
on
all
sides
except
the
north,
the
minimum
I
guess
what
they're
asking
for
and
the
plan
is
for
you
to
pick
one
of
three.
The
number
three
is
the
one
I
would
prefer
that
you
consider,
and
and
tonight
we
can
amend
the
ordinance
as
as
part
of
the
rezoning
process,
to
eliminate
to
that.
The
number
three
is:
is
a
minimum
30-foot
natural
undisturbed,
buffer
and
I.
Think
you
can
serve
and
meet
that
from
the
diagram
you
have
here.
Y
V
It's
probably
mean
it's
way
over
30
feet.
The
only
thing
that
we
would
have
we
may
have
to
try
and
help
out
or
try
to
minimize
it
tied
into
the
utilities.
So
when
we
kind
of
cut
a
cut
a
line
in
there,
that
would
be
it,
but
the
30
foot
I
mean
I
think
to
say
a
number
but
well
I
know
we're
way
over
30
feet
off
a
buffer
there
off
the.
W
Parking
on
the
north
side,
if
you
look
at
the
parking
width,
that's
about
60
to
62
feet
when
you
have
one
aisle
in
two
parking
stalls,
so
that's
easily
another
60
feet
from
the
north
edge
of
the
parking
lot
or
that
parking
to
the
property
line,
and
then
the
right-of-way
setback
on
top
of
that.
So
so
we
probably
have
the
feet
of
area
that
we
will
minimize
what
we
can
in
terms
of
disturbing
any
of
the
the
natural
vegetation
plus.
W
Y
V
Yeah,
we
have
two
opinion,
I
think
it's
there
I
mean
like
I
said
each
one
of
those
parking
stalls
is
20
foot
long,
so
I
mean
we're
not
getting
into
it
and
we
have
a
little
nature
path
in
there.
But
I
mean
we're
looking
at
the
terrain,
because
women
we
just
we
had
a
survey
down,
so
we
haven't
started
putting
pen
to
paper
a
hard
grade
and
everything.
So
it's
hard
to
say,
I'm
not
going
to
touch
it
knew
exactly
where
I've
read
it
into
it.
V
Y
Y
B
B
B
That'd,
do
it
and
and
so
there's
a
motion
from
Mayor
Pro
Tem.
Is
there
a
second
all
right,
all
those
in
the
approval
of
the
abstention
of
councillor
walker,
garrett,
police
state?
I
okay
is
so
abstained,
and
now
is
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
to
the
motion
proposed
by
councillor
allen,
councillor
baker.
Q
Q
W
The
reality
is,
we
will
go
through
the
whole
permitting
process
and
we'll
we'll
need
to
follow
the
setback
requirements,
okay
and
the
buffer
yard
requirements
within
within
your
zoning
regulations.
This
is
diagrammatic
and
in
nature.
One
thing
that
we
wanted
to
acknowledge
is
in
in
our
experience
with
a
number
of
these
retirement
communities.
W
Folks
may
have
RVs
that,
as
they
travel
around
the
country
and
the
last
thing
that
anybody
wants
is
for
them
sitting
in
their
front
yards,
especially
your
neighbors
front
yard,
and
so
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
isolate
a
certain
area
from
a
for
a
time
period
that
that
those
would
be
parked
there
will
not
be
hookups
and
there
would
not.
So
that's
not
an
RV
park
so
to
speak.
So.
Y
W
Well
and
we're
walking
through
all
the
engineering
and
it's
required
for
the
storm
water
detention
area,
which
is
the
blue
area,
is
shown
on
the
South
portion
of
the
property.
Joel
is
working
through
all
the
impervious
coverage
calculations
to
really
define
what's
the
depth
depth
and
the
breadth
of
that
storm
water
detention.
So
as
we
can
maneuver
that
and
create
a
more
beneficial
location
for
both
storm,
so
stormwater
maintenance
as
well
as
locations
such
as
some
of
those
parking
areas
of
the
garden
areas.
We
will
do
that
absolutely
okay,.
B
Y
W
R
I'm
good
with
that,
so
on
the
skilled
nursing
side,
that's
all
healthcare
related
more
than
likely,
since
we
own
property,
now
we're
not
taking
any
of
our
resident.
We're
not
proposed
to
taking
you
by
residents
from
our
current
property
to
this
property.
We're
gonna,
refurbish
the
property,
we're
on
a
warm
spring
road,
eventually.
R
Well
more
than
likely
happen
is
the
skill
nursing
piece
of
it,
we'll
open
it
up
as
a
short-term
rehab
and
then
we'll
take
patients
as
a
case
need
basis.
The
other
pieces
of
it
are
independent,
living
or
assisted
living.
Those
will
be
sold
through
a
sales
process.
It'll
be
a
a
ramp
up
time
for
that
those
are
all
market
rate,
private
pay,
driven,
not
Medicaid
and
Medicare
the
only
the
skilled,
nursing
or
medicating
Medicare.
So
it's
it's
all
marked
that
pay.

AA

AA
AA
Great
I
wanted
to
kind
of
piggyback
on
what
Seth
Brown
said
about
prevention,
because
that's
one
of
the
messages
I
want
to
get
to
you
this
evening
is
prevention.
Works
treatment
is
effective
and
people
recover
and
you
can
see
the
prevention
works
across
the
board
when
you're
talking
about
crime
prevention,
mental
health,
addiction,
prevention,
works,
treatment
is
effective
and
people
get
better.
So
did
you
know
that
suicide
is
the
second
leading
cause
of
death
for
children,
ages,
9
through
17
in
the
state
of
Georgia?
AA
Did
you
know
that
44%
of
children
with
mental
health
problems
drop
out
of
high
school
many
children
with
mental
health
problems
miss
as
many
as
18
to
22
days
of
school
just
due
to
their
mental
health
problems,
and
did
you
know
that
one
in
five
adults
experienced
a
mental
illness
each
year?
That's
20%
of
adults
experience
a
mental
illness
during
a
year
and
one
in
25
adults
lives
with
a
serious,
chronic
mental
illness.
AA
Nearly
50%
of
all
chronic
mental
illness
begins
by
the
age
of
14,
and
did
you
know
that
over
40%
of
homeless
adults
live
with
serious
mental
illness,
and/or
addiction
and
20
point
6
million
Americans
over
the
age
of
12
have
an
addiction
to
drugs,
and/or
alcohol
and
over
20
percent
of
state
and
local
jail
populations.
Have
a
recent
history
of
mental
illness
prevention
works
treatment
is
effective
people
recover.
We
need
to
get
mental
health
treatment
out
there.
Prevention
services
out
there,
New
Horizons,
behavioral
health
is
the
area
leader
in
behavioral
health
care
and
I'm.
AA
Here
to
talk
about
mental
illness,
addiction
and
recovery.
I'm
going
to
say
it
again:
prevention
works
treatment
is
effective.
People
recover,
September
is
national
recovery
month
and
New
Horizons
behavioral
health
is
holding
a
community-wide
celebration
of
recovery
in
all
its
forms,
because
there
are
many
paths
to
recovery.
There's
no
one
way
for
people
to
recover.
It's
very
individualized
we're
having
this
event
on
Saturday
September,
8th
on
the
Columbus

AA
There's
a
lot
of
things
going
on
at
the
Columbus

that
weekend,
I
think

sustained

of

health

The

to
increase

and
encourage
increased

around

An
increased
emphasis
on
tackling
the
opioid
crisis
in
our
community
I
want
to
thank
the
Columbus
consolidated
government
and
the
Muscogee
County
adult
drug
court
for
bringing
medicated
assisted
opioid
treatment
here
to
Columbus.
AA
We've
been
doing
a
program
for
about
two
years
now,
with
an
injectable
of
monthly
injectable
I,
believe
it's
called
Venna
flax
and
for
individuals
where
it
doesn't
give
them
a
high.
What
happens
is
the
individuals
are
have
already
gone
through
withdrawal?
The
injection
keeps
them
from
having
the
uptake
of
the
pleasure
of
the
high
and
helps
them
to
maintain
their
recovery,
and
thank
you
for
us
supporting
that
program
through
the
adult
mental
health
drug
court.
Here
in
Muskogee
County,
we
are
fortunate
to
have
a
strong
community
and
strong
leadership
that
supports
the
recovery
community.
AA
AA
Remember
again
my
messages,
prevention
works
treatment
is
effective
and
people
recover
so
think
of
us
during
September,
it's
national
recovery
month
and
think
of
those
one
in
five
adults
that
are
going
to
be
experiencing
mental
illness
during
any
given
year,
twenty
percent
of
people,
twenty
percent
of
your
constituents.
Thank
you
any
questions.
AA
AA
Be
glad
to
six
thousand
nine
hundred
twenty
one
people
in
Muskogee,
County
I,
believe
the
number
that
we
served
throughout
our
eight
County
area
was
closer
to
78
hundred
people
in
our
outlying
counties.

Chattahoochee.
We
provide
some
very
innovative
services
through
the
Department
of
Community
Affairs
through
their
housing
funding,
we're
able
to
provide
a
rural,
rapid,
rehousing
program,
which
we
take
individuals
that
are
at
risk
or
in
homeless,
in
the
state
of
homelessness
and
able
to
rapidly
rehoused
them
and
support
them
for
up
to
six
months
in
their
housing.
AA
L
AA
Condition
and
help
them
out
and
we've
helped
over
22
families
in
our
rural
rapid
rehousing
program
over
the
life
of
the
program,
which
so
far
we're
starting
near
three
in
the
program.
So
we're
pretty
happy
with
that
in
Chattahoochee
County
we
have
the
Georgia
apex
project,
which
is
a
project
where
we
embed
a
mental
health
counselor
in
the
school
system.
So
there's
a
mental
health
professional
there
to
help
children
in
the
schools.
We
are
also
doing
that
down
in
Randolph
in
Stewart
County.
AA
The
the
individual
is
not
embedded
in
the
schools
because
they
have
so
many
schools,
but
they
kind
of
rotate
among
the
schools
and
help
out
that,
because
with
our
children,
if
we
get
the
help
to
them
as
soon
as
possible,
a
lot
of
children
14
years
old
is
the
onset
of
chronic
mental
illness
of
many
ages.
So
if
we
can
get
those
children
the
services
they
need
get
their
families
or.
AA
They
need
that
works
and
keeps
it
makes
their
life
easier
to
live
with
a
chronic
mental
illness.
Here
in
Muskogee
County,
we
offer
quite
a
few
innovative
programs.
We
have
the
sky,
clubhouse
sky
stands
for
saving
our
kids
and
youth,
and
it's
an
after-school
program
for
children
with
behavioral
health
needs
no
cost
to
the
parents.
The
kids
can
come
to
the
program
we
picked
them
up
at
the
school,
bring
them
to
the
program.
AA
They
have
group
sessions,
individual
sessions,
we
have
family
training
and
then
we
bring
the
children
home
in
the
we
have
Generation
Next,
which
is
a
program
for
young
adults,
age
16
to
36,
who
have
a
chronic
mental
illness
and
we
teach
them
how
to
live
with
their
mental
illness.
You
know
a
lot
of
parents,
they
work
with
teaching
their
kids.
How
to
do
laundry,
make
their

balance

Yeah,
it's
a
we're
one
of
five
Cs
B's
in
the
state
that
are
that
have
that
contract
with
DBH
DD.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
program
and
we'll
be
bringing
a
recovery
community
organization
to
Muscogee
County
in
October,
which
is
going
to
be
a
peer
led
program
for
people
in
recovery
for
addiction.
No
treatment
will
go
on
it's
more
of
like
a
safe
place
for
people
to
go.
AA
You
know,
Coffee
movies
play
cards,
have
a
cookout
but
you'll
be
surrounded
by
people
that
are
positive
in
in
their
path
to
recovery,
so
kind
of
that
surrounding
yourself
with
positive
peers.
As
you
work
on
your
journey
to
recovery,
and
then
we
have
case
management
services,
intensive
case
management,
clinical
services,
we
have
the
psychiatrist
on
board,
but
those
are
some
of
our
more
innovative
programs.
We
do
the
path
homeless,
outreach,
we
have
shelter
plus
care.
AA
We
have
shelter
plus
care
here
in
Muskogee
county,
where
we
house
over
I
want
to
say
over
80
individuals
in
their
own
apartments.
We
help
them
with
their
rent,
but
we
also
make
sure
that
they
get
to
the
treatment
services
they
need.
And
then
we
have
a
shelter
plus
care
program
in
Harris
County
for
families
and
a
harm
reduction,
shelter
plus
care
program
in
Harris
County
for
individual.
So
the
housing
supports
individuals
experiencing
homelessness.
40%
of
them
have
a
chronic
mental
illness.

Wanted
you
its,
fortunately
nationwide
we
were
getting
to
realize
the
importance
of
rec

always
been
on

U

Thank
you
so
very
much
that
is
so
kind
and
it
is
a
tremendous
event.
I
know
a
counselor
woodson,
you
all
lefty,
who
was
there
in
the
beginning,
Tito,
and
so
many
others
started
this
years
ago,
and
it
is
amazing
to
see
how
it
has
grown.
I
hope
you
all
are
very,
very
proud
of
what
you've
done.
Councillor
Woodson.
AD
Mayor
I
just
want
to
say
to
the
community
and
to
the
ty
city,
Latino
Familia.
They
work
very
hard,
none
of
them
get
paid.
None
of
them
are
professional
in
organizing
events
and
they
dedicate
it
because
they
believe
in
the
mission
and
the
vision
and
the
objective
of
the
other
program,
it
is
to
educate
our
community,
our
community
on
the
different
cultures
within
the
Latin
community,
lots
of
times
a
lot
of
individuals
think
that
the
Latin
community,
it's
Mexican,
Cuban
and
Puerto
Rican
and
there's
actually
21
other
cultures.
AD
That
has
the
basic
mother
language
of
Spain.
But
it's
very
different.
Our
foods
are
very
different.
Some
of
our
traditions,
even
in
our
family
values,
are
a
little
bit
different.
So
what
makes
Columbus
unique
and
everyone
talking
about
Columbus
is
because
it's
not
just
a
Latin
festival.
It's
an
international
festival.
The
only
reason
it's
called
the
Latin
festival
is
to
acknowledge
the
Latinos
in
the
month
of
heritage
of
Hispanics.
AD
If
you
take
a
look
compared
to
other
cities,
our
Hispanic
group
is
not
in
one
location
is
throughout
the
city
and
it's
been
done
purposely
through
the
fathers
and
mothers
before
us,
because
they
all
wanted
to
fill
inclusive
in
about
the
community
not
to
be
picked
or
stereotyped
where
to
go.
So
it
has
a
lot
of
pride
that
it
wants
to
share
on
this
one
day
with
the
community.
It
has
an
educational
portion
where
you
could
see
the
different
countries
that
are
visiting
our
community
they're
dancing
their
music,
their
culture.
AD
It's
a
very
enlightening
educational
portion
between
one
and
five
o'clock.
The
music
is
English
and
Spanish
of
local
artists
and
other
artists
that
come
from
New
York,
Virginia
I
think
we've
had
I
think
we've
had
one
from
LA
who's,
not
torched
us
they
just
wanted
to
come
and
show,
and
the
courtesy
of
the
Lord
will
pay
their
their
gas
in
their
hotel
for
them
because
they're
not
charging
us,
they
just
want
to
share
in
Columbus
Georgia
their
culture,
their
music,
and
it's
not
only
Spanish
music
as
gospel
music.
It's
rock
it's
jazz!
AD
Is
it's
a
variety
but
then
after
five
o'clock?
That's
when
it
turns
that
international
flavor
artists
are
coming
there,
Grammy
winners
in
the
Latin
culture,
and
that's
in
that
format.
We've
had
sponsors
with
us
as
a
flag
pieces,
WC
Bradley,
Judy,
Thomas
people
that
live
with
us
right
from
the
beginning
from
day,
one
that
understand
that
the
whole
mission
is
to
educate
people
bring
people
together,
their
businesses
know
to
their
patrons
that
they
appreciate
them
and
for
new
people
to
know
them.
So
we
welcome
everyone.
We
don't
want
everybody
to
think
it's
just
Latinos.
AD
No,
it's
for
everyone.
It's
for
their
children,
everyone!
We
don't
charge,
because
we
know
the
stress
of
life.
We
need
some
fun
that
doesn't
cost
us
something,
of
course
the
food
does
because
of
the
vendors
they
got
to
make
their
money,
they
won't
come,
but
the
food
is
all
the
way
from
hamburgers
and
hot
dogs
all
the
way
and
took
by
malice
and
some
wound.
Food
I
didn't
have
never
even
had
from
Peru.
AD
H
You
a
lot
for
being
here,
I'm
always
brought
marveling
at
the
fact
of
you
and
me
me
and
left
it's
the
same
thing.
There's
always
a
young
one
around
that
you
all
are
bringing
up
and
teaching
the
ropes
too.
So
you
did
a
great
job.
Thank
you
for
coming
here.
Yeah
yeah,
but
I
will
be
there
and
I'll
be
a
part
of
what
you're
doing
this
year.
So
I
appreciate
you
and
I'll
see
you
then
thank.
H
U
AD
My
god
I
forgot
some
people
that
are
the
most
important
people
to
the
whole
festival
and
that's
our
staff
or
no
city
manager
and
they're
deputy
city
manager,
especially
Lisa.
We
drive
her
crazy
and
insane.
Sometimes
we
want
to
say
to
all
of
you
and
Wayne
who's
out
there
from
the
career
who
really
supports
us.
We
just
want
to
say
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts
and
I
know
that
lefty
is
listening
and
watching
because
I
think
he
really
haunts
me
every
year
about
this
time.
AD
AD
B
AE
My
name
is
Zachary.
Salas
just
got
his
card
in
the
mail.
What
it
is.
It's
called
a
Hawaiian,
bracelet,
car
and
kind
of
excited
about
it,
because
you
know
our
parents
is
always
raised
mean
you
know,
it'd
be
proud
of
my
culture
and
everything
Hawaiian
culture-
and
you
know
so
it's
kind
of
like
verifies
Who
I
am
as
far
as
indigenous
people
on
the
back
of
it.
It
says
you
know
original
indigenous
people
of
America,
so
bass
I
just
wanted
to
on
behalf
of
my
aunt.
AE
It
was
called
the
resolution
act
and
what
it
was
supposed
to
do.
It
was
supposed
to
preserve
those
Mayan
culture
and
I
think
it
was
supposed
to
start
from
a
period
of
from
1905
and
it
was
supposed
to
go
for
a
hundred
years,
so
I
think
well,
I
think
it
was
1920
to
be
a
that.
So
I
think
it
was
kind
of
like
nearing
the
100
year
mark.
As
far
as
you
know,
the
horror
Preservation
Act
I
think
it's
about
to
be
over
with.
AE
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
just
kind
of
like
try
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
the
the
last
of
a
you
know
what's
available
as
far
as
the
Preservation
Act,
because
there
was
a
specific
act
that
they
came
out
with,
and
that
was
you
know.
The
whole
purpose
of
it
was
to
preserve
the
Hawaiian
people,
not
just
because
of
our
race,
but
because
we
was
supposed
to
be
a
nation
that
never
relinquished
our
sovereignty.
AE
So
basically
I,
say
I
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
submit
our
request
to
City,
Council
and
I.
Think
that
I
have
I
could
probably
just
maybe
pass
around
this
policy
as
far
as
what
the
government
policies
already
stated.
It
is,
they
recognize.
You
know
the
need
to
preserve
Hawaiian
culture
and
now
I'm,
just
kind
of
like
let
you
know
in
advance
of
I
know
this.
It
doesn't
have
a
issue
with
the
you
know
the
Columbus
Council,
but
I
think
the
way
I'm
looking
at
it.
AE
It's
like
most
of
the
grants,
though,
that
I'm
looking
at
and
reading
about
you
know
it's
available
through
this
program
is
mostly
in
Hawaii.
You
know
you
got
to
be
a
resident
of
Hawaii
now
in
theory,
I
mean
to
me
in
order,
for
you
know,
for
this
act
to
be
able
to
preserve
from
Wyatt
people
I.
Don't
think
that
is
practical.
You
know
for
you
to,
for
you
know,
for
the
qualifications
to
require
that
you
stay
in
Hawaii.
You
know
you
got
all
these
different
people,
that's
moved
out
of.
AE
You
know
the
city
of
a
state
of
life
and
they
live
all
around
the
country.
So
how
do
you
preserve
these
other
people?
So
if
that's
saying
that
all
the
people
that
just
in
the
states
are
excluded
from
being
preserved,
you
know-
and
only
the
people
just
on
the
island
I
mean
how
can
that
achieve
its
result?
You
know
if
it's
kind
of
like
the
animal
endangerment,
Species
Act,
you
know
it's
not
just
covering
just
one
Pacific
area.
I
mean
you
know
my
understanding
anyway,
but
you
it
would
be
the
whole
problem.
AE
You
know
not,
and
so
it
to
me
when
just
applied
just
in
it
shouldn't
just
applied
just
to
a
residents
of
Hawaii,
but
it
should
extend
to
all
the
you
know:
Caressa
don't
want
it
has
expanded
throughout
the
United
States,
but
from
my
understanding,
our
population
of
people
that
actually
Native
Hawaiian,
probably
less
than
a
million
people,
that's
right.
The
whole
continent
so
I
think
it's
something
to
be
alarmed
by
I.
Think
I
mean
I'm
the
only
person
I'm
a
small
minority,
so
I'm
screaming
out
hey.
You
know
we
need
help.
I've
been
through.
AE
Many
of
you
know,
tragedies
throughout
my
life
and
had
to
you
know
struggle
for
most
of
my
life
just
trying
to
have
the
basic
necessities
there.
So
I
can
understand.
You
know
that
and
I
don't
really
get
a
whole
lot
of
support
because
it's
like
you
know,
people
look
at
my
race
and
you
know
I'm
always
being
called
a
Mexican
or
something
else.
I'm
always
called
something
outside
of
my
race.
You
know
so
I'm
kind
of
like
a
a
true
minority.
AE
What
I
consider
true
minority,
because
you
know
I,
don't
get
a
solid
support
from
any
group
of
people.
I
mean
people
like
me.
You
know,
I
got
friends
and
stuff.
I
got
black
friends,
white
friends,
but
I
don't
have
anybody
to
support
my
family
or
my
people
that
I
can
unite
with
not
even
now
you
know,
I
got
the
people
as
far
they're
I'm
artist.
You
know
and
I
love
my
grandma
and
my
aunt
T.
So
naturally,
I
want
to
carry
out
their
traditions,
but
I
just
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
support.
AE
You
know,
as
far
as
people
to
go
to-
and
you
know
rally
with
it
even
to
come
up
here
and
petition
the
City
Council.
You
know
for
grants
and
finds
a
lot
of
say,
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
the
United
States
government.
They
have
already
recognized
as
far
that
we
are
lacking
in
education,
we're
under
represented.
We
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
fun
to
go
around.
B
Right
I
will
sir.
Thank
you
so
much.
First
of
all
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention.
I
know,
you
said
you
had
some
documents,
and
one
thing
you
can
do
is
provide
it
to
the
clerk
here
and
they
can
make
sure
that
we
get
that
all
the
council
gets
your
information.
If
you
don't
have
it
with
you
tonight,
you
want
to
submit
it
later.
You
certainly
can
I
can
have
Carly.
B
L
AE
L
B
Uh-Huh
yeah
fantastic,
well
great,
if
you'll
provide
that
to
our
clerk
and
then
also
I
can
get
Carly
to
come
out
and
get
your
contact
information
and
you
can
send
us
if
you
have
any
other
any
other
information.
We
can
get
that
from
you
as
well
and
maybe
get
you
to
the
right
person,
whether
it's
our
Commission
on
unity,
diversity,
prosperity
or
our
circle
commission
to
work
with
you
to
kind
of
vet
out
a
little
bit
more.
What
you
like
to
see
and
how
the
city
might
be
able
to
help.
You
know
that's
possible.
Okay,.
G
B
B
We
are
next
mr.
Robert
Hutchinson
has
actually
had
to
cancel
his
wife
is
ill,
so
he's
going
to
be
back
with
us
next
time
we
gather
together,
and
so
the
next
individual
on
our
public
agenda
is
mr.
Wayne
Hales.
Who
would
like
to
speak
to
us
about
bike
history,
museum
property,
lease
request
good
evening.
L
S
Address
for
the
Wayne
Hales
1300,
Winton,
Road,
Suite
104
I'm
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
Columbus
Black
History,
Museum
and
Archives
I.
Think
you
have
a
packet
there
from
me
for
the
past
year.
The
museum
has
been
in
search
of
an
adequate
facility
and
we
were
finally
approached
by
Maurice
Edwards,
the
son
of
dr.
M
Delmar
Edwards,
who
offered
the
building
that
house
not
only
his
father's
practice,
but
the
first
location
of
dr.
Bob,
Wright's,
optometrists
practice,
and
that
facility
is
located
at
8:04,
Veterans
Parkway.
S
The
goal
for
the
museum
is
to
expand
on
the
rear
of
the
property
and
undoing
some
researching
the
deed.
We
found
that
the
Edwards
estate
owns
all
but
a
small
lot,
which
is
located
at
810
Veterans
Parkway
and
is
currently
owned
by
the
city.
The
dimension
of
the
property
is
26
by
150
or
approximately
3,900
square
feet
and
has
been
appraised
by
at
twenty
three
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
by
Norris
appraisal,
Group
LLC.
S
S
N
L
AE
B
X
G
AF
AF
Madam
mayor,
if
the
council
is
interested
in
allowing
for
this
lease
for
the
Black
History,
Museum
I
would
actually
bring
it
back
on
the
second
Tuesday
agenda
and
we
would
consult
with
the
city
attorney
to
look
at
some
of
the
other
lease
agreements
that
we
have
similar
lease
agreements
and
I
can
tell
you.
We
do
have
similar
lease
agreements
for
one
dollar
a
year
and
actually
had
staff
to
give
me
a
list
of
them.
AF
We
don't
have
a
particularly
use
for
it
at
this
time,
but
we
would
structure
a
lease
agreement
if
you're
interested
in
a
way
that's
acceptable
to
what
we
do
in
terms
of
terms
of
lease
and
then,
of
course
they
could
be
continued.
You
know,
let's
say
it's
a
five-year
or
ten-year,
and
and
it's
a
recurring
and
and
so
we
could
certainly
bring
back
or
a
lease
structured
in
that
manner
for
one
dollar
a
year
we.
G
L
B
T
AF
AF
S
N
I
would
like
to
request
of
the
city
manager.
Is
you
I
think
you
get
the
feeling
of
most
of
the
councillors
that
have
said
anything
and
so
I'd
like
to
ask
you
to
bring
back
to
us
an
advantageous
proposal
not
only
for
the
city
but
for
the
Black
History
Museum,
whether
it's
giving
it
to
them,
selling
it
to
them,
leasing
it
to
him.
N
AF
N
G
G
O
O
This
this
is
such
a
dynamic
Church
and
they
do
a
biannual
health
and
community
outreach
and
each
time
they
have
over
21
social
service
organizations
that
help
people
to
navigate
through
the
maze
of
the
social
service
system
and
so
they're
going
to
have,
in
addition
to
the
21
social
service
organizations.
They
want
to
have
blood
pressure,
screening,
blood,
sugar,
stroke
prevention,
which
is
very,
very,
very
important
because
a
lot
of
times
that's
overlooked,
pulse
oximetry,
HIV
screening
with
immediate
results
at
the
same
time
what
they
do.
L
O
O
So
if
there
are
any
legal
problems,
they
will
explain
to
you
how
to
go
about
it
a
lot
of
times
they
bring
the
preliminary
paperwork
that
you
would
need
to
fill
out,
and
so
this
dynamic
church
has
been
doing
this
fitness
for
I
think
at
least
15
years
twice
twice
a
year,
so
they
do
a
lot
in
the
community.
So
wonderful.
N
B
Sounds
great
well,
thank
you
for
bringing
us
that
information
and
I'm,
sorry
that
pastor
Diaz
cannot
be
with
us,
but
but
at
least
we
did
get
the
information
out
about
that
important
event.
So
our
final
participant
and
the
public
agenda
tonight
is
mr.
Herman
Lewis
jr.
who's
representing
the
Alumni
chapter
of
a
Kappa
Alpha
sigh,
hello
and
he'd
like
to
speak
to
us
about
the
57th
annual
southeastern
province
province,
Roger,
Wilson,
Leadership
Conference
good
evening
and.
AG
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
the
council
I
bring
you
greetings
on
behalf
of
the
Columbus
Georgia
alumni
chapter
of
Kappa
Alpha
side
and
the
ADA
Theta
chapter
kept
outside
at
Columbus
State
University.
My
name
is
Herman
Lewis
jr.,
as
mayor
indicated,
I
am
the
Polmar
core
president
for
the
Columbus
Georgia
alumni
chapter.
AH
Good
evening,
everyone,
as
brother
Lewis
said
my
name-
is
Jason
Patterson
I
am
a
member
of
the
Columbus
alumni
chapter
of
Kappa
Alpha
side
I'm,
also
serving
as
the
undergraduate
advisor
for
the
ADA
theta
chapter,
which
is
Columbus
State
University,
I
joined
Kappa,
Alpha
side
through
Columbus,
State,
University
and
now
I'm
working
in
that
capacity.
As
an
advisor
as
brother
Lewis
was
saying,
this
is
our
57th
rendition.
AH
If
you
will
of
the
see
Roger
Wilson,
Leadership
Conference
it's
held
every
year
and
the
conference
is
designed
by
the
word
leadership
to
teach
members
of
the
fraternity
skills
to
run
their
particular
office
within
the
fraternity.
Now,
even
with
those
offices
that
correlates
to
everyday
life,
such
as
finances,
record-keeping,
holding
meetings,
business
attire
things
of
that
nature,
so
it's
truly
a
Leadership
Conference.
Although
is
specific
to
the
fraternity,
those
skills
can
translate
into
everyday
life.
AH
Now
also,
as
brother
Lewis
was
saying,
we
have
been
fortunate
enough
to
be
given
the
opportunity
to
host
the
conference
and
our
provinces
southeastern
province,
which
are
the
alumni
and
undergraduate
chapters,
primarily
in
the
state
of
Georgia
and
South
Carolina.
So
that's
a
lot
of
chapters,
and
in
order
for
us
to
be
given
that
opportunity,
we
have
to
be
doing
things
the
right
way
here
in
Columbus,
so
it
kind
of
speaks
to
what
we've
been
doing
as
an
alumni
chapter
to
give
us
this
opportunity.
AH
Now,
with
it
being
Georgia
and
South
Carolina,
we
will
have
of
a
lot
of
brothers
in
town
during
that
weekend,
which
is
September
15th,
we're
anticipating,
probably
about
250,
to
300
members
of
the
fraternity
here
in
town.
So
with
those
brothers
here,
of
course,
there
will
be
some
economic
impact
to
the
city.
Of
course
we're
not
having
10,000.
AH
AH
B
AG
No,
you
said
we're
excited
about
the
opportunity
and
we
look
forward
to
it.
We've
been
planning
all
summer
for
this
eve
and
once
we
got
noted
that
we
were
gonna,
be
the
host,
so
we've
been
hard
at
work
and
we're
just
looking
forward
to
having
a
great,
showing
and
presenting
Columbus
Georgia
in
good
fashion.
Well,.
B
Thank
you.
If
there's
anything,
we
can
do
for
you,
a
Columbus,
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
works
with
groups
regardless
of
size.
It
sounds
like
you
guys
are
gonna
have
some
folks
here,
so
you
certainly
make
the
cut
to
have
their
full
involvement,
so
you
can
either
contact
me
through
email
or
them
directly
and
I'll
make
sure
they
get
with
you
and
anything
that
they
can
provide
in
the
way
of
supportive
coordination.
They're
happy
to
do.
G
AD
B
AF
You,
madam
mayor,
first
on
my
agenda:
I've
got
the
TIA.
We
know
it
as
tea
SPLOST
spiderweb,
a
network
project
asking
for
approval
to
enter
into
a
supplemental
agreement
with
a
joint
Department
of
Transportation
to
adjust
the
engineering
services
in
right
away
budget
for
the
TIA
spiderweb
network
project.
So
let
me
say
that
the
total
budget
on
this
project
and
you're
all
familiar
with
it
and
that's
the
project
that
that's
going
to
go
over
the
railroad
crossings
at
investor
road.
They
are
at
Morris
and
Andrews.
Road
illage
is
road.
AF
This
request
tonight
is
a
line-item
adjustment
is
what
we're
actually
asking
for
reducing
the
right-of-way
acquisition
amount
of
8.5,
reducing
it
from
eight
point
five
to
six
million
dollars,
and
we
want
to
increase
the
engineering
amount
from
the
2.4
million
dollars
that
we
provided
a
preliminary
budget
for
engineering.
We
want
to
adjust
it
to
four
point:
four
four
million
dollars,
and
so
there's
no
change
in
the
total
budget
of
forty
million
dollars.
We
can
do
the
right-of-way
acquisition
with
six
million
dollars.
Our
preliminary
estimate
at
that
time
was
eight
point.
Five.
AF
N
AF
Had
to
change
it
a
couple
of
different
times,
I
think
the
bridge
was
going
to
be
longer
at
when
Sam
or
shorter,
and
then
we
had
to
make
it
longer.
But
the
first
plan
was
to
go
underneath
and
that
did
not
work
out,
and
so
those
preliminary
estimates
of
engineering
and
right
away
and
all
were
made
early
on,
and
so
there
was
no
way
to
really
have
the
real
number
and
then,
when
we
got
the
final
design
or
a
plan
that
we
were
going
to
go
over
and
how
far
the
bridge
was
going
to
span.
AF
Of
course,
right
away
is
less
than
what
we
thought
we
project
is
less
than
what
we
thought
at
8.5
and
engineering
is
more.
It
took
more
engineering
than
a
preliminary
estimate,
so
you're
right,
you're,
correct
in
that
it
has
changed
a
number
of
times
based
on
one.
What
we
thought
we
would
be
able
to
do
and
what
was
determined
that
we
could
not
do
and
what
we
could
do
and.
N
AF
L
AF
B
N
AF
AF
AF
So
there
is
no
recommended
change
in
Medicare
Advantage,
a
plan
provider
for
the
retirees
foretelling
the
year
2019
and
the
retiree
benefits
committee
shall
Hankins
and
the
benefit
consult
our
benefits,
consultant,
HR
and
all
agree
with
what
we
are
presenting
to
you
tonight.
But
what
I
wanted?
Those
who
are
listening
to
hear
is
that
their
final,
be
it
resulting
in
a
premium
reduction
or
10.7%
and
lower
out-of-pocket
maximum
by
$500.
AF
It
has
noted
that
the
Medicare
Advantage
plan
was
put
out
to
be
it,
and
the
cross
blue
shield
submitted
a
strong
proposal,
but
because
of
United
Healthcare
is
competitive.
Be
it
their
excellent
customer
service
and
stable
consistency?
It
was
a
determined
to
remain
with
United,
Healthcare
and
so
I
wanted
them
to
hear
that,
because
that's
a
reduction
and
not
an
increase
great.
B
B
AI
X
X
The
city
manager
already
commented
on
the
fact:
we're
gonna
save
the
city
and
the
employee
or
retired
employee,
some
money,
which
is
great
it's
exciting,
but
and
then
probably
the
biggest
single
thing
when
you
besides,
the
reduction
in
rate
is
that
thousand
dollar
out
of
pocket
down
from
1500
that's
real
dollars
as
you
get
our
age
that
gets
around
pretty
quick.
So
it
we're
excited
the
outcome
and
we
hope
that
in
continued
years,
we'll
be
equally
as
successful.
I
did
want
to
thank
Rhonda
Davis
who's,
our
advisor
from
Aflac.
X
She
got
tied
up
this
evening
and
the
last-minute
couldn't
be
here,
but
we
do
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
she
puts
in
on
behalf
of
the
employees
and
mayor
and
Kemper
Baker.
We
appreciate
the
support
that
all
Council
and
staff
forgiveness,
but
especially
this
evening,
we'd
like
to
thank
you
all
for
your
support.
You
give
the
retired
employees
and
the
employees
this
jack,
kinsman
who's.
The
vice
chairman
of
the
other
retiree
Association
is
here
know.
J
That
I'd,
like
to
say,
is
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
this
committee.
It's
been
real
help
to
the
retirees
and
I
appreciate
the
organization,
getting
it
up.
Billy
Watson,
who
really
initiated
this
organization
he
would
have
been
here,
but
due
to
poor
health
he's
not
able
to
make
it.
I
would
like
to
just
remember
him
for
the
opportunity
to
come
here
to
helping
retirees,
because
that's
what
our
goals
are
to
help
the
retirees
well.
B
B
So
thank
you
for
your
ingenuity
and
your
hard
work.
I
think
it's
been
a
wonderful
thing
to
to
have
sort
of
the
chair.
Maybe
it's
at
the
chair
position,
I
believe
someone
from
outside
who's,
bringing
that
expertise
and
that
other
set
of
eyeballs
to
our
circumstance.
That's
been
very
helpful
too,
so
yeah
all
right.
Well.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
Congratulations.
AF
With
that
meda,
meda
I'm
going
to
move
to
purchases
and
I'm
gonna
ask
the
sheriff
to
come
forward
and
I
know.
She's
got
our
chief
deputy
and
some
other
people
here
as
well,
and
let
me
just
say
that
this
is
inmate
medical
and
pharmacist
services
for
the
Muscogee
County
Jail.
And
then
the
next
item
is
going
to
be
for
the
prison.
But
I
want
to
talk
about
the
jail
first
and
she's
coming
forward,
because
the
actual
biet
came
in
higher
than
what
they've
budgeted,
what
we
approved
in
their
current
budget.
AF

AJ
Something
to
say
thank
you
for
having
me
this
evening
and
I
want
to
just
say
a
couple
of
things.
First,
this
was
our
first
major
RFP
process,
and
so
that
was
an
experience,
but
a
good
one
and
I
have
nothing
but
good
words
to
say
for
our
assistant
city
manager,
Pam
Hodge
and
our
finance
director
Angelica
Alexander,
who
have
helped
to
guide
me
through
this
process.
AJ
We
also
have
seen
significant
savings
in
our
pharmacy
lines
and
if
those
continued
with
this
new
company,
because
it
is
a
new
vendor,
but
if
those
pharmacy
savings
continue
with
this
new
contract,
we
should
be
able
to
cover
that
sixty
eight
thousand
dollars
I'm
here
just
to
let
you
know
that.
Should
that
not
happen
for
any
reason
we're
looking
at
an
additional
$68,000,
unlike
the
retirees
it
didn't
go
down,
it
did
go
up
a
little
bit,
but
nonetheless
it's
been
a
good
process.
AJ
AF
She's
going
to
try
and
make
it
work,
but
just
putting
your
own
notice
that
it's
$68,000
higher
and
if
they
are
not
as
successful
as
she
anticipates,
they
will
be
then,
at
some
point.
After
a
mid-year
and
as
we
move
towards
the
close
of
the
fiscal
year,
she
may
have
to
come
back
for
that.
Sixty-Eight
thousand
dollars.
AF
AF
What
what
we're
bringing
before
your
time
tonight
is
what
we're
asking
you
to
do,
but
we
need
you
to
approve
it
with
the
understanding
that
she
is
going
to
try
and
make
the
68,000
above
and
beyond.
What's
budgeted
she's
going
to
try
and
find
it
within
her
savings
and
so
forth
during
the
course
of
the
budget
year,
the
country
when.
AJ
AF
AJ
AF
N
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
what
we're
doing
here,
city
manager,
we
are
approving
the
RFP.
That
is
sixty
eight
thousand
dollars
more
than
what
is
in
the
budget.
However,
the
sheriff
is
saying
she
thinks
with
the
savings
that
they
can
do
under
pharmaceuticals.
It
will
not
reach
that
sixty
eight
thousand
and
if
it
goes
over
what
she
is
currently
budgeted,
then
she
will
be
coming
back
to
us
during
this
year
to
get
approval
for
additional
funding.
That.
AF
Is
great,
that's
it
and-
and
she
came
here
tonight
to
ask
you
to
take
it
out
of
reserve,
and
this
is
a
way
to
attempt
to
avoid
taking
it
out
of
the
reserve,
no
one,
but
putting
y'all
notice
that
something
could
happen,
and
she
has
to
come
back
for
the
68000
and
personally
I'd.
Rather
not
take
it
out
of
the
reserve.
I'd
rather
try
and
give
her
an
opportunity
to
make
it
work.
But.

Q
Doing
she's
operating
within
the
proof
budget
that
we
said:
that's
not
changing
the
fact
that
one
little
bit
came
in
higher
or
lower
then
changed
overall
budget.
We're
going
to
sort
of
expect
that
she
can
handle
that
one
particular
overage
within
the
confines
of
her
budget.
And
then
at
that
point.
If
she
can't,
then
she
comes.

Through

okay
and
there's
a
second,
that's
the
agricultural
chemicals
annual
contract,
tasers
and
related
accessories
for
the
marshal's
office,
the
Georgia
subsequent
entered
injury,
trust

annual

the
upgrade
of
the

licensing,
occupation,

and
the
heavy-duty

for
the

Is
there
any
discussion.
AD
B
Are
including
D
I'm,
sorry
that
she
said
e,
so
that
would
include
D,
which
would
be
the
plotter
printer
and
scanner
services
annual
contract,
so
items
D
through
I.
There
was
a
motion
in
a
second.
There
appears
to
be
no
discussion
to
any
of
the
items
and
so
I
you
may
record
your
votes
electronically.
AF
Met
a
meal
with
that
I've
got
just
to
bring
your
attention
to
an
emergency
proaches
which
was
just
to
for
move-in
service
for
the
judges
as
a
result
of
the
government
sent
a
flood
and
you
know
they
moved
to
the
other
building
the
car
might
so
that
was
an
emergency
purchase
just
want
to
bring
to
your
attention.
I've
got
a
few
more
updates.
I've
got
one
on
the
government.
Center
maintenance,
Public,
Works,
Director,
Pat
Biegler
is
going
to
do
that,
and
this
is
on
maintenance.
AF
Only
and
then
she's
going
to
be
followed
by
inspections
and
codes.
Director,
John
Hutchison
and
deputy
city
manager,
Pam
Hodges
on
Government,
Center,
repairs,
construction
and
insurance.
So
Pat
Bigley
is
going
to
talk
about
maintenance,
they're,
going
to
talk
about
repairs,
construction
and
insurance
following
Pat
Biegler.
So
with
that
our
director
of
Public
Works,
Pat
Biegler.
AK
B
AK
We
went
through
our
inspection
about
two
weeks
ago.
There
are
literally
29
thousand
cities
that
qualify
and
in
over
20
years
only
146
have
achieved
that
particular
goal,
and
we
did
it
with
a
perfect
score.
So
we
rewarded
a
hundred
percent
on
that
accreditation,
inspection,
I'm,
really
proud
of
my
staff.
They
worked
very
very
hard
to
achieve
that.
We've
put
several
years
into
preparing
programs
that
would
allow
us
to
qualify
for
accreditation.
AK
So
it
has
been
a
very
worthwhile
effort
this
evening,
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
maintenance
at
the
Government
Center
I
would
like
to
just
kind
of
say:
you
know,
taking
care
of
a
noble
building
is
kind
of
like
taking
care
of
an
old
car.
You
know
the
maintenance.
You
can
stick
very
closely
to
the
manufacturer's
recommendations.
You
can
make
sure
that
the
oil
gets
changed.
The
fluids
gets
changed.
The
filters
get
changed.
AK
You
can
even
do
major
repairs,
but
when
all
is
said
and
done
when
it
hits
about
10
or
12
years,
you're
going
to
have
breakdowns,
and
that
is
what
we
were
experiencing
now
with
the
government
center.
We
have
been
taking
care
of
the
building,
and
but
it
has
reached
that
age
where
things
are
starting
to
happen.
So
let
me
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
first
about
the
background
so
that
everybody
has
kind
of
a
is
brought
up
to
speed
and
then
talk
to
you
about
some
of
our
maintenance
program.
AK
I
can
only
assume
and
to
my
knowledge,
the
building
did
not
fully
meet
code
at
that
time,
where
it
would
have
been
awarded
a
certificate
of
occupancy,
it
was
built
with
an
open-concept
cubicles
were
expected
to
go
in
and
they
only
actually
built
out
about
six
or
seven
of
the
12
floors
at
that
time.
So
it
wasn't
completely
built
out
as
times
passed,
more
people
moved
in.
They
started
building
walls
instead
of
cubicles
and
then
they'd
start
chopping
up
those
they
build
a
conference
room,
and
you
know
a
few
hours
later.
AK
They
decide
they
need
more
offices
and
they
chop
that
into
three
offices
and
put
up
some
walls.
None
of
those
changes
were
made
very
thoughtfully.
We
have
only
a
handful
of
the
few
original
drawings
and,
of
course,
with
the
changes
that
were
made
over
time
no
drawings
or
permits
were
issued
for
that
work.
So
none
of
that
work
has
been
documented
either.
AK
Of
concern,
the
firearms
were
blocked
by
walls.
The
air
conditioning
wasn't
modified
when
the
walls
were
moved
and
electrical
was
run
to
whatever
was
convenient,
so
we
have
places
in
the
building
where
to
turn
off
the
electric
for
down.
Here
you
have
to
go
up
to
the
other
floor
and
those
changes
were
not
documented.
Some
of
our
employees
are
familiar
with
where
you
might
have
to
go
and
some
of
those
idiot
sequences,
but
it's
it's
tough.
It's
not
well
documented
at
all.
AK
Prior
to
my
arrival
here
in
in
the
at
the
end
of
2011,
changes
were
made
without
drawings
or
permits,
as
I
said,
when
I
came
and
started.
Looking
at
this
situation,
I
alerted
management
of
the
fragility
of
the
system.
It
did
that
in
early
12,
and
we
talked
about
significant
issues
to
do
with
security
utilities,
fire
safety,
etc.
We
then
came
back
later
in
2012
and
did
an
executive
closed
session
with
counsel
to
talk.
That
was
when
we
were
still
in
the
government
center,
and
we
talked
about
the
issues
that
existed
with
that
building.
AK
At
that
time
it
was
determined
that
we
were
going
to
do
a
full
assessment
of
the
building,
and
that
happened
in
2013
to
WR
and
faithful
and
Gould
performed
that
evaluation.
That
assessment
and
they
evaluated
the
cost
for
renovation
or
multiple
replacement
options
to
to
fall
around
a
hundred
million
to
a
hundred
and
twenty
million.
L
AK
Keeping
up
I
apologize,
they
did
confirm
that
all
of
the
systems
in
the
building
needed
replacement
or
significant
upgrade
they
additional.
Then
additional
presentations
of
their
findings
were
made
to
Council,
and
then
we
had
other
sessions
with
council
over
time
and
following
that,
a
commission
was
formed
to
study
alternatives
and
they
spent
some
time
trying
to
decide
which
option
would
be
better
and
made
some
recommendations
to
Council.
Also.
AK
AK
That
rule
continues
in
effect
today
and
we've
had
some
confrontations
with
folks
who
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
do
things
and
with
the
support
of
the
city
manager.
That
did
not
happen.
We
have
stuck
to
that
rule
and
we
intend
to
continue
to
follow
with
that
rule.
Several
items
identified
during
that
asset
assessment
were
things
that
we
could
take
care
of
and
we
move
forward
with
taking
care
of
them
by
2014
we
put
in
a
backflow
preventor.
That
was
one
of
the
issues
they'd
identified.
AK
So
there
has
been
follow-up
there
from
that
assessment.
Let's
see
something's
going
on.
Okay,
just
briefly
facilities
maintenance,
my
crews,
their
task
is
to
do.
They
need
to
do
all
the
needed,
routine
maintenance
and
repair
on
all
the
city,
buildings
and
the
other
infrastructure
to
include
doing
custodial
work.
I
have
a
staff
of
30
who
do
all
of
those
out
of
that.
The
facilities
have
only
four
plumbers.
Now
we
have
600
plus
facilities,
we
have
400
plus
sprinkler
systems
that
those
plumbers
take
care
of,
and
then
we
have
500
plus
other
infrastructure.
AK
Everything
from
public
bathrooms
to
you
name
it
I
would
say
on
the
whole
that
the
crew
does
a
phenomenal
job
and
I
bring
35
years
of
experience
and
the
public
works
in
facilities.
Arena
and
I
can
tell
you
they
do
a
phenomenal
job,
keeping
up
with
all
of
that
with
the
staff
and
the
resources
they
have.
AK
We
also
wrong
way.
Okay,
we
have
put
in
place.
We
had
some
contracts
in
place,
we've
put
others
in
place
and
we
will
continue
to
refine
contracts
as
we
need
them
to
provide
professional
support.
No
matter
how
good
you
are,
you
don't
know
everything
about
everything,
and
you
know
we're
not
certified
for
everything.
So
we
have
a
specific
contractor
who
takes
care
of
our
elevators.
We
have
a
one
that
assist
us
with
larger
jobs
or
more
complex
work
on
mechanical
systems.
AK
We
have
a
contractor
who
helps
us
with
roofing
systems,
with
fire
protection
systems
and
with
our
generators
and
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on,
but
I
won't
spend
any
more
time
with
it
every
day
in
the
government
Center,
they
walk
through
every
mechanical
room
in
that
structure
in
that
complex,
and
they
will
look
at
every
piece
of
machinery
to
see
if
they
can
spot
any
problems.
They
walk
around
the
outside
of
the
building
twice
per
day.
AK
AK
They
we
purchased
infrared
equipment
so
that
we
can
check
the
mechanical
rooms
if
you've
got
bearings
that
are
starting
to
where
they
heat
up
and
we
can
identify
those
in
advance
of
a
problem
with
the
infrared
cameras.
We
also
do
infrared
checks
of
the
electrical
system
about
every
three
months,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
there's
no
hot
spots.
AK
They
are
either
we
do
load
tests
on
the
generators
once
per
month
and
we
run
the
generator
once
every
week
without
putting
a
load
on
it
to
make
sure
that
it
turns
off
and
on
and
off
properly
we
do.
It
checks,
monthly
checks
of
the
HVAC
system
and
we
change
filters
and
we
do
all
of
the
needed
maintenance
and
the
manufacturer
of
recommended
maintenance.
And
then
we
also
check
freon,
for
example,
and
we
have
a
contractor
who
recharged,
if
we're,
finding
that
the
freon
is
low
and
again
there's
a
long
list
of
things.
AK
This
is
a
very
important
point:
we
don't
just
patch.
If
we
have
a
problem,
we
take
the
time
to
analyze
what
has
caused
it.
It's
like
the
doctor,
giving
you
something
for
the
flu,
but
not
trying
to
you,
know
for
pain
or
headache
and
not
trying
to
figure
out
what
why
you
have
a
headache
we
try
to
make
sure
and
when
we
do,
that's
resulted
in
identification
of
some
more
systemic
problems.
AK
The
two
largest
ones
that
I
thought
I
would
mention
were
those
hot
water
lines
where
we
found
a
rusted
out
connector
and
we
have
a
leak
instead
of
just
fixing
it.
We
started
looking
at
what
caused
it
and
whether
we
had
similar
situations
throughout
the
building
and
we
ended
up
with
a
contract
to
fix
a
couple
hundred
of
those
because
dissimilar
metals
had
been
used
throughout
the
building.
We
also,
as
you
know,
buildings
built
in
71
don't
have
the
same
electrical
requirements
as
we
do
today.
AK
AK
AK
This
is
a
gate
valve
that,
in
one
of
our
systems,
gate
valves
tend
to
stick
and
break
if
there's
any
grit
in
the
system
and
I
hate
to
tell
you,
but
with
a
building
from
71
there's
a
lot
of
grit
in
that
system.
These
days,
Plumbing
is
without
question
our
most
challenging
and
problematic
and
complicated
system
to
work
on.
We
have
cutoff
valves
on
all
of
our
fixtures,
but
they
are
the
original
fixtures.
AK
The
team
battles
at
came
with
those
fixtures
on
all
196
sinks
in
197
toilets
in
urinals,
but
they
are
fragile
and
we
really
need
to
systematically
go
through
the
building
and
replace
every
one
of
those
growls
with
ball-valve,
because
we
know
that's
a
sticking
point
at
this
time
and
I
need
to
explain
this
to
you
just
so.
You
understand
the
complexity
of
what
we
deal
with,
because
we
don't
have
gate
valves
on
every
valves
on
every
floor
when
we
need
to
do
mechanical
work.
AK
We've
got
to
shut
the
building
the
water
off
to
the
entire
building
and
drain
it
down.
So
before
we
do
that
on
a
Saturday
morning.
We
go
through
and
try
to
identify
anything
and
everything
that
might
need
to
be
fixed
that
weekend
and
we
get
scheduled
so
that
we
have
the
right
materials
and
people
there.
AK
So
we
go
to
drain
the
whole
building.
We
literally
start
at
the
top
and
start
opening
up
valves.
We
shut
off
the
water
outside.
We
start
opening
up
the
valve
on
every
sink
and
we
go
from
floor
to
floor
to
floor.
It
takes
three
hours
to
drain
down
to
the
second
floor
and
once
we
get
there,
we
have
about
45
minutes
left
because
after
that
the
cooling
towers,
start
training
pressure
starts
dropping
in
the
fire
system
and
we
end
up
with
all
the
fire
alarms
going
off
and
other
major
issues.
AK
AK
And
then,
eventually,
after
about
the
third
time
through
the
building,
they
leave
the
building,
and
you
need
to
note
that
still
that
many
flushes
there
are
still
times
when
they
go
away
and
a
half
hour
later,
somebody
in
the
building
flushes
the
toilet
and
it
blows
a
line
apart
and
then
we're
back
in
there
trying
to
do
the
same
thing
that
we
were
doing
before.
We
start
at
the
top
and
turn
off
the
water
and
train
the
system.
It
is
painful,
it
is
time-consuming.
AK
We
need
to
replace
shifting
gears
here
a
little
bit,
but
we
also
need
to
replace
all
the
drain
lines
to
include
roof
drains
all
of
those
drains
and
sewage
drains
and
roof
drains.
So
whether
it's
storm
water
or
sanitary
are
made
out
of
cast
iron
and
they
are
beginning
to
split,
and
usually
they
split
on
the
top
of
the
pipe,
not
the
bottom.
AK
So
yet
things
will
go
along
perfectly
fine
until
we
head
of
day
when
a
certain
number
of
people
flush
the
toilet
all
at
one
time
and
suddenly,
if
that
sewage
dripping
down
and
we're
going
in
trying
to
figure
out
where
the
split
is,
we
cannot
see
it
from
the
floor
and
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what's
going
on
there.
If
we
do
that
work,
we
have
to
do
at
nights
and
weekends
if
we
can,
because
it's
noisy,
we
have
to
cut
that
cast
iron
that
interferes
with
the
courts
and
other
work.
AK
AK
Now
this
is
on
one
of
the
floors.
On
the
11th
floor,
you
can
see
the
cast
iron
pipe
up
there
and
it
is
way
up
in
the
air.
So
you
can
understand
that
it's
not
that
easy
to
ascertain
where
a
leak
might
be
coming
from,
because
it's
coming
from
somewhere
up
there
and
it
takes
special
equipment
to
get
in.
It
means
working
over
their
heads,
it's
very
uncomfortable,
and
this
is
kind
of
give
you
an
idea
of
the
the
condition
of
some
of
those
drain
pipes.
We
are
constantly
trying
to
flush
them
out.
AK
Some
of
them
will
flush.
Some
of
them
will
not,
and
that
creates
a
challenge
for
our
work.
Crews
to
building
access
many
of
the
occupants
over
the
years
have
changed
the
locks
on
their
doors
and
we
no
longer
have
access
to
a
lot
of
areas.
So
if
we
have
a
flood
over
the
weekend,
we
have
no
idea
what
might
be
going
on
be
in
those
locked
areas.
We
are
going
to
go
through
and
change
the
cylinders
and
put
in
a
master
key
system.
AK
We've
been
yes,
so
we
have
probably
a
hundred
and
fifty
offices
in
locations
we
can't
get
into
so
we're
going
to
need
to
go
back.
That's
going
to
be
roughly
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
get
back
to
a
master
key
system.
I
feel
like
I
missed
something
because
I
was
talking
about
the
plumbing,
but
we
do
need
to
replace
of
all
ball
valves
with
those
other
valves
and.
AK
So,
let's
see
I've
lost
track,
I'm.
Sorry,
in
addition
to
that
what
was
recommended
and
what
still
remains
to
be
done
is
we
need
to
pressurize
the
stairwells
for
fire
safety,
which
means
installing
vent
fans
and
replacing
doors.
That's
not
work
that
can
be
done
by
our
crews,
but
it
still
was
identified
during
that
evaluation
of
the
building
and
still
remains
to
be
fixed.
The
fire
alarm
systems.
AK
We
can't
I
can't
go
in
and
put
in
a
fire
alarm
because
I
have
to
put
in
whatever
its
current
to
code,
and
our
current
infrastructure
in
the
Corps
won't
support
the
new
fire
alarms
with
strobes
and
the
other
required
things.
So
we
have
to
do
that
center
core
to
provide
that
if
we
do
that,
we
need
to
replace
the
fire
alarms
throughout
the
building
to
make
sure
that
every
place
can
hear
the
fire
alarms,
see
the
fire
alarms
and
can
respond
to
them.
We
need
to
do
we
also
the
air
conditioning
system.
AK
AK
All
of
that
said,
if
we're
going
to
replace
the
valve,
put
valves
on
each
floor,
so
we
can
shut
off
and
we've
been
working
on
this
and
I
did
miss
the
slide.
The
valves.
There
are
three
we
have
to
have
three
on
each
floor,
but
things
have
changed
so
much
that
we
do
not
and
we
don't
have
drawings.
We
do
not
know
where
to
place
all
of
those
valves
in
order
to
be
able
to
actually
shut
off
the
the
water.
AK
On
a
given
floor,
we
are
working
with
the
contractor
right
now
trying
to
evaluate
where
those
points
might
be,
because
it's
it's
just
not
a
clean.
This
line
takes
fear
of
this
floor.
In
addition,
we
have
to
have
a
valve
for
the
hot
water
valve
for
the
cold
water
and
a
valve
for
the
recirculating
water
on
each
of
the
floors.
AK
Inspections
and
codes
has
already
been
trying
to
find
a
contractor
to
work
on
these
with
us
and
quite
honestly,
they're
all
reluctant
to
take
it
on
because
it
is
so
complex
and
it's
such
a
puzzle.
So,
but
we
need
to
keep
moving
forward
and
try
to
make
it
happen
one
way
or
the
other.
If
we
want
to
change
the
gate
valves
to
ball
valves,
it's
going
to
cost
about
$80,000,
the
lock
replacement
will
be
about
50.
AK
AK
In
addition
to
that,
those
three
fire
safety
issues,
the
fire
alarm
system
needs
it
will
cost
around
six
hundred
pressurizing.
The
stairwells
will
cost
around
eight
hundred
and
fifty
and
installing
a
sprinkler
system
which
is
mentioned
pretty
often
and
was
in
that
assessment
it
will
be
about
a
million
so
for
fire
safety.
We're
talking
two
point:
four:
five
million
for
a
total
of
five
point:
nine:
three
million
dollars.
AK
That
is
not
everything
that
needs
to
be
done,
but
if
we're
going
to
replace
the
building
somewhere
down
the
road,
we
need
to
make
a
decision
to
invest
and
move
forward
with
some
of
these
projects.
The
facilities
in
Public
Works
will
continue
to
do
what
we
can
with
the
resources
and
manpower
we
have,
but
it
will
take
some
additional
money
to
contract.
AK
AK
AF
AF
If
we,
if
dollars,
were
made
available
to
us
through
a
special-purpose
local
option,
sales
tax
and
you
allowed
or
issued
bonds
that
we
were
able
to
advance
the
dollars
and
go
ahead
and
complete
I'll
move
forward
with
a
project
to
renovate
or
teardown
and
construct
new
or
construct
new
somewhere
else,
I
asked
staff.
How
long
would
that
take?
Is
that
a
three-year
five-year
six-year
eight-year
period?
AF
AF
Eight
years,
and
so
I've
asked
them
to
start
identifying
systems
that
we
need
to
update,
because
we've
got
employees
coming
into
that
building
every
day.
Those
buildings
and
we've
got
the
public
and
we've
got
courts
and
we
got
everything
going
on
and
again.
We
know
that
if
we
had
dollars
today
would
end
up
five
six
eight
years
down
the
road
before
you
could
turn
a
key
to
move
into
a
renovated
building
or
new
building,
and
so
we
are
going
to
have
to
spend
significant
dollars
just
to
stay
in
that
building.
AF
Until
we
do
something
different
and
in
all
likelihood
that
we're
going
to
spend
money
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
come
back
and
in
the
renovation
process
a
lot
of
it
you're
going
to
lose
it
you
know.
But
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
stay
in
the
building
right
now
to
continue
to
conduct
the
people's
business
and-
and
those
are
the
dogs
that
the
numbers
that
she's
throwing
out
to
you
tonight?
The
systems
that
we've
got
to
take
care
of
and
we
gotta
find
the
money.
AL
Good
evening,
Council
I'll
kind
of
fly
through
a
few
of
these,
just
to
kind
of
give
you
update
again,
like
we've
talked
previously
about
incident
one.
So
that's
the
tenth
and
eleventh
floors
continue
to
be
off
limits,
but
ninth
floor
and
below
are
available
incident.
Two
four
three
and
two
are
open
for
citizens
and
will
be
operational
as
repairs.
Continue:
we've
nullified
their
quality
concerns.
We
had
some
concerns
about
that.
We've
tested
the
tower
and
the
wings,
so
we
didn't
have
any
concerns
with
any
of
that.
Just
kind
of
a
recap
of
the
working
condition.
AL
One
of
the
pros
about
this
project
is
that
we've
kind
of
been
able
to
to
divvy
up
these
sections.
You
see
here
between
servpro
the
buildings,
the
content,
the
labor
and
utilities
between
different
departments,
so
we've
had,
instead
of
typically
in
the
past,
when
we
get
a
claim,
it's
kind
of
mostly
on
engineering
and
Public
Works,
to
kind
of
sift
through
all
of
this
and
then
get
get
it
done,
but
ideally
with
this
one,
because
it
was
a
major
project
and
we
were
dealing
with
one
of
the
major
buildings
here
in
the
city.
AL
Different
departments
have
helped
separate
all
this
work,
so
my
job
was
kind
of
more.
On
the
building
side,
we
had
risk
risk
management
kind
of
do
more
than
the
contents
and
SERVPRO
we've
had
finance
help
us
with
the
utilities.
We've
had
everybody's
kind
of
keeping
track
of
labor
cost,
so
we're
able
to
split
the
claim
up
into
different
departments
instead
of
counting
sequential
all
these
things
are
being
attacked
simultaneously.
So
I'll
show
you
the
timeline,
which
is
definitely
been
in
our
favor
certaPro.
AL
If
we've
talked
before
they've
completed
all
their
finishing
their
cleanup
right
now,
the
the
only
part
they
will
come
back
to
do
depending
on
the
contents
that
are
in
the
building
they
did.
The
contents
adjuster
did
not
consider
a
total
loss
that
they
will
have
to
come
and
clean
physically
come
back
and
clean,
so
that's
a
cost
that
they
will
have
to
incur
at
that
point.
This
is
the
first
to
claim
numbers
that
we've
been
given,
and
this
is
just
for
the
mechanical
electrical.
AL
So
it's
a
mechanical
electrical
low
voltage
in
the
camera
work
total
about
two
hundred
and
seventy
one
thousand
dollars
for
floors
11
through
five
and
four
floors,
four
through
two
about
thirty
four
thousand
dollars.
So
that's
roughly
over
thirty
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
claim-
and
that's
just
the
mechanical
and
electrical
work.
That's
not
any
drywall
any
of
that
kind
of
stuff!
That's
just
electrical
work.
It
needs
to
be
replaced
lights
that
needs
to
be
replaced.
Receptacles,
some
of
the
mechanical
controls.
We
were
having
issues
with
that's
just
that
side
of
the
house.
AL
All
that
needs
to
be
done
and
that's
the
part
of
the
contractors
work
for
him
to
come
in
to
do,
and
so
once
those
numbers
are
finalized,
we'll
bring
those
back
to
Council
and
that
also
once
we
once
those
have
been
approved
by
the
insurance
company
contents,
there's
everything
that
wasn't
more
or
less
nailed
down
anything.
That's
in
the
building
from
furniture,
bookcases,
computers,
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
The
contents
adjuster
has
completed
their
work,
we're
waiting
to
hear
back
from
the
insurance
company,
the
official
number
from
that.
AL
But
once
again
we
tried
to
kind
of
do
some
of
these
things
simultaneously,
so
we
actually
got
the
moving
contents.
So
that's
the
move,
all
the
material,
because,
ideally
the
contractor
needs
kind
of
a
clean
slate.
He
doesn't
need
to
be
going
over
somebody's
desk
to
be
putting
carpet
in,
and
things
like
that,
so
we
have
a
cost.
AL
That's
been
approved
from
the
insurance
company
for
a
little
over
sixteen
thousand
dollars
to
move
the
materials
out
of
the
building
as
construction
goes
on
and
to
move
them
back
in
so
that
number
typically,
the
numbers
I
have
in
here
have
been
approved
currently
by
the
insurance
claim.
So
we
have
everything
from
them.
AL
Like
I've
told
you
mentioned
a
few
slides
before
all
the
departments
from
sheriff
Forest
Management,
Public,
Works,
IT
engineering
inspections
and
codes.
All
of
us
are
keeping
up
with
our
hours
to
submit
as
a
final
claimed
as
a
part
of
the
claim
due
to
labor
and
utilities.
Obviously
we
had
the
the
tens
of
tens
of
thousands
of
gallons
of
water
that
was
released
in
the
building,
so
obviously
that
would
affect
our
utility
bill
for
that
month,
depending
on
what
happened
because
of
the
leak.
AL
So
the
next
steps
here
to
complete
negotiations
with
the
insurance
company
literally
I,
have
a
two-hour
meeting
with
them
tomorrow
to
try
to
get
us
to
a
happy
medium
where
everyone
agrees
to
the
cost
of
the
work
to
be
done
so
we're
literally
gonna
go
through
line
by
line.
I
have
three
hundred
and
fourteen
pages
on
the
first
claim
and
about
a
hundred
and
seventy
one
in
the
second
claim,
so
we're
literally
just
gonna,
go
through
it
and
make
sure
we're
all
apples
to
apples.
So
they
agree
to
something.
AL
We
had
a
few
issues
that
we've
already
noticed
off
top.
That
would
reduce
the
general
contractor's
cost
that
the
insurance
is
agreed
to.
There's
certain
things
we
will
just
have
to
you
know,
sit
down
and
figure
out.
How
do
we
get
to
the
end
of
it?
The
intent
is
to
bring
that
proposal
once
the
insurance
approves
that
number
to
authorize
the
contractor
to
perform
the
work
sometime
in
September
2018,
hopefully
by
the
11th
I'd
love
to
come
and
have
something
ready.
Then
it's
just
dependent
on
the
insurance
approving
the
number
that
we
submit
to
them.
AL
The
contractor
that
we've
talked
to
has
projected
a
four
month
timeline,
so
they
will
work
24/7
on
floors,
10
and
11
as
we
go
for
that
whole
four
month
period
and
then
we'll
have
to
work
out
scheduling
with
courts
and
make
sure
we're
not
disturbing
anything
that
they
have
going
on
for
those
following
months.
So,
ideally,
we'd
like
to
have
the
government
Center
back
up
to
normal
operations,
January
or
February
of
2019.
If,
like
I
said
at
this
time,
line
continues
the
way
it
is.
AL
Ideally,
that's
when
we'd
like
to
have
everybody
back
in
the
building
open
to
the
public,
all
the
elevators
running,
no
dividers
between
that
you
know
all
of
it
open
back
to
previous
years.
Just
for
comparison
sake,
I've,
unfortunately
been
with
the
city
long
enough
to
deal
with
all
of
these
in
claims
situations
and
dealing
with
the
insurance
so
so
take
the
annex
which
we
had
a
rain
event
of
2011.
It
was
another
8
months
before
we
had
to
work
authorised
by
council
officially
to
bring
you
all
to
approve
in
March
of
2012
the
coma
gentleman.
AL
We
had
the
roof
failure,
that
was
in
September
of
11.
We
worked
with
the
insurance
company,
and
that
was
another
7
months,
and
that
was
brought
forward
in
April
of
2012
for
approval
from
Council
Fire
Station
number
11,
November
15.
When
it
caught
fire,
we
didn't
have
numbers
to
bring
to
council
till
April
of
2017,
but
the
way
we've
worked,
this
new
project
from
when
the
incident
happened
in
June
to
September
is
only
three
months
and
we're
almost
at
the
point
of
having
a
final
number
approved
from
the
insurance
company
to
proceed
with
construction.
AL
AF
AF
They
do
that
with
your
car.
You
you
your
adjust
to
come
out
until
you,
it's
gonna
cost,
try
a
thousand
dollars
to
repair
your
car,
you
take
it
to
the
repair
shop,
repair
shop,
put
it
up,
put
it
on
the
jack
and
and
say
no,
they
didn't
see
under
the
collar
undercarriage
that
no
that's
another
thousand
dollars.
They
call
the
gesture
out
there
just
to
looks
at
and
say
I
agree
and
it's
six
thousand
dollars,
that's
how
it's
gonna
work
or
that's
how
it
works
even
with
what
we've
got
to
get
done.
AF
N
Mr.
Hodges
and
I
have
a
question
about
the
slide
that
you
said
next
steps
there
and
they
you
are
hoping
to
bring
a
proposal
to
us
in
September
and
the
contractor
projects
a
120
day
timeline
as
I
understood
what
you
were
saying.
That
does
not
include
the
kind
of
work
that
Miss
Bigler
was
talking
about.
This
is
simply
to
get
us
back
to
where
we
can
move
those
judges
back
into
their
courtrooms,
and
that
sort
of
thing
is
that
correct
that.
AL
N
N
Some
of
the
things
that
Miss
Bigler
said
we
need
to
do
whether
we
tear
that
building
down
or
do
anything
else
to
that
building
or
not,
and
then
the
third
thing
is
so.
What
are
we
going
to
do
overall
and
I?
Have
a
I
haven't
seen
and
I?
Don't
want
anybody
to
take
this
wrong?
I
think
you
folks
are
doing
a
hell
of
a
job.
You
are
doing
what
needs
to
be
done
and
you
are
looking
out
for
the
citizens
of
Columbus
and
their
money,
but
I
don't
see
any.
N
N
N
AF
Point
that
the
reason
she's
here
tonight
and
presenting
maintenance
short-term,
that's
it
short
term
that
5.9
million
or
whatever
it
was
those
things
we
have
and-
and
that's
why
I
mentioned.
Even
if
we
had
money
today,
it'd
take
five
six,
eight
years,
those
things
or
short-term
that
we
want
to
do
as
soon
as
we
can
identify
dollars.
B
Mister,
let
me
just
say,
and
it
is
it's,
it's
a
dilemma:
it's
a
full-fledged
dilemma.
So
I'm
not
here
to
offer
any
singular
solution.
I
will
say
this
I,
you
know
there
are
other
options
and-
and
they
all
have
political
consequences
and
so
Council's
can
have
to
make
some
tough
decisions
but
I'm
sure
it's
bothersome
to
a
lot
of
folks
here
at
this
table
and
maybe
watching
that
there's
even
being
proposal
that
three
point
five
million
dollars
would
be
poured
into
a
building.
This.
B
Yeah,
maybe
five
point
I
guess
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
just
looking
at
the
one-page.
Oh
yes,
I'm!
Sorry,
five
point!
Nine
excuse
me
five
point:
nine
million
dollars
would
be
poured
into
a
building
that
has
to
be
fundamentally
gutted
and
redone,
and-
and
so
that's
just
like
to
me-
I'm
sorry
to
be
dramatic,
burning
it
and
a
big
you
know
trashcan
or
something
because
you're
only
you're
putting
in
that
six
million
dollars
for
a
short
period
of
time.
B
You
keep
saying
six
six
years,
which
would
be
true
if
you
went
for
the
spots
which
I
appreciate
is
a
way
that
we've
talked
about
doing
it
before
absolutely
could
do
it
again,
but
you
need
to
understand.
The
school
board
may
want
that's
lost.
We
may
have
to
negotiate
with
them
a
little
bit.
They've
been
kind
about
it
so
far,
but
you
don't
know
what
political
winds
will
blow
in
the
future
and
what
needs
they
may
have.
B
You
also,
you
know,
just
have
some
other
issues,
and
so
there
is
the
opportunity
that
we
that
I
talked
about
before
of
going
to
the
building
authority
issuing
a
bond
beginning
the
design
and
the
construction
process
as
quickly
as
possible.
Now
it's
not
going
to
be
done
in
you
know
a
year,
but
it
could
be
done
in
24
months.
Perhaps.
AF
B
I'd
like
to
see
some
proposals
on
that,
because
I've
seen
huge
buildings
go
up
in
Atlanta
in
24
months,
so
you
know
if
we
couldn't
renovate,
but
the
other
thing
I
think
we
need
to,
and
so
I'm
with
councilor
Thomas
on
I'd
like
to
see
a
plan
on
what
it
would
cost
and
and
what
the
proposal
would
be
to
completely
gut
the
building.
We
have
and
redo
it
to
take
down
the
wings,
possibly
build
things
there.
B
You
know
those
are
the
types
of
proposals.
I
think
we
we
need
to
see
and
the
other
thing
I
would
say
that
I
keep
hearing
a
lot
of
folks
talk
about
in
the
community,
sometimes
its
elected
officials-
sometimes
it's
just
citizens
that
are
concerned
is
I.
Think
we
need
to
hear
from
the
professionals
that
know
that
we
cannot
renovate
this
building
floor-by-floor.
B
It
seems
like
such
a
common-sense
proposal
of
let's
start
at
the
11th
floor,
let's
gut
it
completely
redo
it
put
in
new
pipes
put
in
new
fire
systems,
put
in
all
new
everything
electrical
and
everything
I
keep
hearing
from
all
the
professionals
is.
That
cannot
be
done,
because
the
system's
can't
support
the
new
stuff,
because.
B
Was
built
originally,
so
you
can
do
that,
but
you
can't
light
up
this
11th
floor
once
it's
finished,
you
can't
light
up
the
10th
floor
once
it's
finished.
You
can't
move
into
these
floors
until
the
whole
thing
is
finished
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
see
a
methodical
plan
of
those
options
and-
and
you
and
I
disagree
on
the
length
of
going
by
the
building
authority
and
issuing
a
bond
and
be
able
to
service
that
bond
with
what
has
historically
been
our
debt
service
amount
and
finding
some
other
creative
ways.
B
That
Pam
is
found
where
we
have
money
for
economic
development
that
we
put
aside
and
we
hold
for
particular
projects
that
we
could
put
towards
this
for
debt
service
and
some
other
things.
That
would
be
fiscally
prudent.
That
would
save
two
or
more
years
off
of
the
timeline
that
you've
given
because
the
time
line
you've
given
proposes
that
we
go
out
on
a
spliced
in
2020,
which
is
least
two
years
away,
and
then,
of
course
the
money
has
to
start
being
collected,
and
then
you
have
to
start
doing
all
that.
AF
N
We
can't
make
that
decision
without
more
information
about
what
what
that's
going
to
do.
That's
that's.
My
frustration
is
that
I
can't
tell
either
one
of
you
tonight
that
you're
right
or
that
you're
wrong,
because
I
don't
have
the
information.
I
am
NOT
a
I'm,
not
an
authority
on
that.
There
are
people
who
are
authorities
that
can
come,
and
you
know
advise
us
on
what
we
need
to
do
and
that's
what
I'm
looking
for
is.
How
are
we
going
to
get
the
advice
that
we
need
as
a
council
in
order
to
move
forward,
and
mr.
N
big
I
just
have
to
tell
you
the
thing
that
you
said
to
me
that
you
said
tonight
that
just
knock
my
socks
off
more
than
anything
is
that
there
are
there's
$50,000
worth
of
rocks
that
people
I
work
in
that
building.
It
never
occurred
to
me
that
I
had
the
authority
to
change
the
lock
on
my
door,
and
so
you
know
I
mean
it's.
AF
And
that's
why
councillor
Thomas?
We
we
back
into
2012
which
to
the
policy.
You
know
we
have
people
wanting
to
put
ceiling
fans
in.
We
don't
want
you
even
painting
in
your
I
mean
we
just
don't
do
anything
and
we're
not
doing
it
without
an
architectural
stamp
seal
and
without
getting
the
same
building
permit
that
we
expect
others
to
go
through
in
a
process
when
they're
going
to
alter
their
building
or
their.
But
what
we're
gonna
do
we're
gonna
bring
back
yeah
whether
we
go
through
the
building
Authority
as
an
option.
N
So
what
I
would
like
for
you
to
bring
to
us
to
mr.
city
manager
is
I
can't
make
a
decision
on
whether
or
not
the
amount
of
money
that
we're
going
to
try
to
raise
anity,
Stennis,
sploshed
or
on
a
bond
issue.
Is
the
right
amount
of
money
without
having
information
from
the
people
who
know
from
the
professionals
who
build
buildings
all
the
time
and
can
tell
me
what
we
need
to
do
in
that
building
and
we
make
a
decision.
Are
we
gonna?
Are
we
gonna
tear
the
wings
down.
AF
N
B
AF
B
If
we
did
it
this
way
and
if
we
did
it
that
way,
sure
what
that
would
mean
as
much
information
as
we
have
then
council
could
direct
I
want
more
information
on
this
and
more
information
on
that
now
you
know,
just
from
the
the
professionals
I've
talked
to
you
guys
will
hear
the
closer
we
get
to
what
a
design
would
look
like,
which
is
going
to
be
awfully
far
down.
The
road
is
when
you
start
getting
more
refined
numbers.
B
So
there's
no
doubt
that
off
that
hundred
million
there's,
probably
10
or
20
million
dollars
that
can
be
shaved
off
I
mean
at
least
you
know,
it
just
depends
on
what
you're
gonna
do,
but
but
you're
gonna
have
to
get
a
little
further
down
the
road
of
what
it
is.
You
want
so
cool,
but
there's
a
lot
of
decisions
to
be
made
before
council.
AF
AD
B
AD
AD
AF
AD
B
R
Y
AD
G
B
And
I
know
councillors
have
said
that
they
have
trusted
experts
that
they'd
like
to
hear
from,
and
maybe
we
can
invite
those
people
to
come
and
at
least
listen
and
if
they
want
to
speak,
then
they
can
speak
and
so
forth,
and
we
certainly
have
a
lot
of
folks.
Who've
already
worked
on
this
pro
bono.
You
know
you.
AF
AF
B
G
AD
AB
B
Most
certainly
I
would
say
you
know
it's
kind
of
how
do
you
eat
an
elephant
one
bite
at
a
time,
there's
almost
that
necessary
preliminary
decision
to
make
before
you
get
down.
I
agree
with
you.
It's
gonna
be
predominantly
a
judicial
building,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
before
you
start
deciding
what
the
building
is,
gonna
look
like
or
you
know
it's
which
way
you're
gonna
go
with
this
and
I.
B
Think
that
being
whether
you
do
a
bond
or
whether
you
dis,
flossed
and
I,
think
you'll
have
a
very
good
sense
of
what
decision
you'd
like
to
make.
Once
you
see
a
timeline,
and
you
know
once
you
see
how
various
things
could
be
funded,
so
that
could
be
the
first
part
of
the
presentation
of
it.
But
but
some
of
that
design,
work
related
to
the
judiciary
has
already
been
done
in
the
in
the
Commission.
So
that
would
be
at
least
a
starting
point.
Okay,
so
we're
looking
at
this
18th
and
then
maybe.
AF
B
AF
G
AF
AM
Good
evening
I'm
a
student
manager
mentioning
this-
isn't
the
typical
finance
update
I
do
plan
to
bring
that
in
September
and
we
are
still
working
on
closing
out
FY
18,
we're
supposed
to
receivables
so
I
that
wouldn't
be
very
useful
at
this
particular
point.
So,
but
I
will
be
back
in
September
and
given
the
normal
finance
update,
but,
as
you
may
recall,
we've
had
to
change
our
external
auditors.
Just
do
two
situations
behind
the
circumstances.
Beyond
the
control
of
Allbright
form
area,
they
were
unable
to
conduct
our
FY
18
audit.
AM
This
year,
Council
has
since
approved
a
new
contract
with
a
new
auditing,
firm,
Alden
and
Jenkins.
They
actually
arrived
on
site
yesterday,
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
sort
of
want
to
talk
to
Council
about,
because
one
of
the
things
that
any
new
auditor
would
do
would
be
to
review
prior
year's
management
letters
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
taken
appropriate
action.
AM
AM
However,
since
then
we've
had
to
change
plans
because
that
individual
individual
is
no
longer
with
the
city,
so
unfortunately
I
guess
it's
unfortunate,
because
I'm
actually
having
to
take
this
task
back
on,
but
I
am
able
there's
still
someone
here.
That's
able
to
do
it.
I
am
performing
the
bank
reconciliation
for
FY
18
I'm
at
this
particular
point,
but
they
are
being
reviewed
by
our
deputy
city
manager,
Pam
Hyde.
She
also
has
the
knowledge
and
know-how
of
performing
the
bank
reconciliation
so
I'm
doing
it
she's
reviewing
it,
that's
just
where
we
are
right
now.
AF
Well,
and
so
let
me
just
save
in
a
couple
of
sentences
why
I
wanted
her
to
come,
because
in
the
audit
finding
she
was
doing
the
reconciliation
and
verified,
and
she
had
only
done
it
that
one
year
and
they
said
that
can't
happen.
So
she
was
going
to
train
the
staff
to
do
the
reconciliations
and
she
did
and
that
staff
is
no
longer
with
us.
So
that
puts
it
back
to
her
doing
the
reconciliation
so
that
staff
was
going
to
do
the
reconciliation
and
then
she
would
verify
and
sign
off
on
it.
That's
finance
director.
AF
So
what
I've
done,
because
that
person
is
no
longer
with
us
she's
going
to
do
the
reconciliation
and
the
deputy
city
manager
for
finance,
planning
and
development
is
going
to
verify
and
sign
off
until
she's
able
to
get
a
person
back
and
trained
and
doing
it
within
her
department.
So
I
just
want
you
to
be
aware
of
that.
You.
AM
Might
say
and
I
know,
I'm
just
I
probably
should
stop
talking,
but
you
may
say:
well:
I
did
not
train
more
people
right.
That
reconciliation
process
for
us
is
a
very
manual
process.
It's
actually
the
first
thing
that
I
was
tasked
with
with
when
I
was
hired
with
the
city
ten
years
ago,
and
so
I
have
been
very
knowledgeable
of
the
process.
I've
been
doing
it
for
a
very
long
time,
I'm,
just
in
throughout
my
different
capacities
in
the
position
that
I
actually
started
out
in
with
the
finance
department
is
currently
unfunded.
AF
The
bottom
line
is
her
staff
person.
It's
all
done
internally,
her
staff
person
does
the
reconciliation
and
she
approves
now
she's
going
to
do
the
reconciliation
and
the
deputy
city
manager
is
going
to
approve
until
until
another
time.
So
we
wanted
you
to
be
aware
of
that
and
I
believe
that
the
deputy
city
manager
of
finance,
planning
and
development
is
very
capable
and
qualified
to
do
that
and
as
much
as
she's
the
former
finance
director
and
she
has
an
accounting
background
and
can
do
it.
So.
Thank
you
so
much.
L
AF
With
that,
madam
mayor
I
have
one
announcement,
one
announcement,
our
hometown
connection,
if
you
would
put
this
on
your
schedule,
is
October
11th
we're
going
to
start
at
9:30
a.m.
because
we're
going
to
do
a
bus,
tour
and
we'd.
Ask
that
you
block
your
schedule
from
9:30
until
1:30,
please
October,
11th,
hometown
connection
9:30
to
1:30
and
we're
going
to
send
you
an
email
and
we've
already
confirmed
that
date
with
the
delegation.
So
we'll
send
you
a
notice
out
with
that
met
Amir.
If
there
are
no
questions,
I'm
done
with
my
agenda.
Okay,.
B
H
AF
For
those
people,
where
we've
determined
that
they're
in
violation
they've
their
grass
or
weed
it's
18,
inches
or
taller,
we
go
out
and
we
do
a
request
to
comply.
We
give
them
10
days
and
when
we
go
back,
if
they've
not
complied
or
we
can't
find
them,
then
we
have
contracts
with
local
vendors
and
we
will
do
a
work
order
to
have
a
local
vendor
contractor
to
go
out
mow
the
grass
that
we'd
clean
it
all
up,
remove
solid
waste
and
then
there's
a
an
invoice
that
we
pay.
AF
AF
O
I've
been
telling
because
under
all
of
us
are
getting
calls
and
we
have
been
getting
a
lot
of
rain
and
so
I
do
know.
I
have
talked
found
out
that
the
crews
are
behind,
so
I've
been
telling
everyone
that
you
know
there
about
maybe
three
to
four
weeks,
maybe
five
weeks
behind
because
of
the
rain.
Yes,
and
once
I
explained
it
to
them,
then
they
understand
I,
said
I,
know
you're
impatient
I
know
it
does
look
bad
and
I'm
talking
specifically
by
the
way
about
these
city-owned
areas
and
the
right
of
ways.
They're
horrendous.
AF
O
AF
Are
several
weeks
behind
and
and
and
on
city
right
away?
It's
that
but
hell
yeah,
that
that
grass
and
I
can
tell
you
you
know
even
on
steam
railroad.
My
lawn
is
mow
once
a
week
by
contractor
at
my
house,
but
by
the
road
on
steam
railroad.
They
mow
my
lawn
on
Friday
every
Friday
and
you
come
by
there
on
Sunday
and
you
wonder:
did
they
mow
it?
AF
Because
my
contractor
model
is
the
right
away
as
well,
and
so
I
can
tell
you
from
my
own
personal
experience
from
a
contractor
more
my
grass
once
a
week.
If
it
rains
and
the
Public
Works
can't
get
out
there
and
it
goes
a
week,
it
is
going
to
grow
back
on
the
right
away.
It's
just
that
simple
and
so
they're
doing
the
best
they
can
with
all
the
rain,
but
they
are
behind.
