I
do
need
to
make
mention
that
counselor

a
medical

unanimous.

I'm,
going
to
read
a
resolution
into
the
record,
and
then
we
will
get
a
motion
from
a
counselor.
The
resolution
reads
as
follows:
whereas
the
Council
of
Columbus
Georgia
has
recently
discussed
a
severance
agreement
with
Columbus
Police
Chief
Freddie
Blackman,
whereas
Chief
Blackman
has
indicated
his
formal
acceptance
of
the
severance
agreement.
C
Now,
therefore,
the

of
Columbus
Georgia
here
buyers
off
this
Council,
hereby

upon
execution
by
all
parties
and
is
ready
for
adoption.
B

to
say
that,
on
