B
Our
meetings,

asking
God's
presence
on
this

and
I
believe
is,
is
Reverend
Delta
outly
here
I
did
not

her
I'm
going

ask
if
Wayne
Anthony
kind
of
spur
of
the
moment
he's
a
former
council

and
and
a
minister
and
I'm
gonna
ask
him
if
he
wouldn't
mind
offering
up
our
our
request
to
God
today.
Thank
you,
sir.
If
you'd
hit
that
button
I'll
get
it
turned
on
for
you.
C
Let
us
pray
God
for
every
person
here
in
this
place.
We
give
thanks
for
their
concern
for
the
city
of
Columbus,
for
the
people
that
are
involved
in
the
leadership
role
and
providing
Public
Safety
for
all
those
who
work
diligently
to
make
this
a
better
place
for
all
of
us
to
live.
We
give
thanks.
We
thank
you
for
their
families,
who
generously
give
of
their
time
as
well
and
give
their
support.
Now
we
pray
for
your
divine
presence
here
in
this
place.
C
B
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All
right,
we've
got
a
we've
got
a
number
of
resolutions
today,
but
before
we
do,
that,
I
would
entertain
a
motion
on
the
minutes
from
February
28th
motion.
Second,
to
approve
the
minute,
so
there
any
edits
any
questions
or
deletions
that
need
to
be
made
hearing.
None
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right.
The
minute
to
received
councilor
Tucker.
B
Oh
yes,
if
we
can
get
one
of
the
bailiffs
one
of
the
sheriffs
to.
B
All
right,
the
first
first
order
of
business
today
after
the
minutes
is
a
resolution
in
honor
of
Lyndon
H
Birch.
So
all
those
who
are
representing
Mr
Birch,
if
you
could
come
to
the
podium
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
councilor
Tucker.
D
Good
good
morning,
everyone
and
my
continued
condolences
and
prayers
to
you
and
your
family
and
this
community
I'ma
read
the
resolution,
but
you
know
what
Landon
meant
to
me
so
and
I
appreciate
you
all
for
being
here.
D
I
will
say
to
Mr
Buckner.
He
reached
out
to
me
to
basically
put
this
resolution
together
to
honor
Mr
lindenberg
for
being
an
amazing
Community
leader,
but
what
we
did
Mr
B.
We
not
only
did
the
turnaround
Columbus
resolution.
We
did
one
for
mayor
and
Council
as
well,
so
it
would
say
the
same
thing,
but
it
will
represent
both
turn
around
Columbus
and
also
the
city
of
Columbus.
So
thank
you.
D
The
purpose
of
the
initiative
was
to
use
film
work
as
a
catalyst
for
peace
and
to
change
the
hearts
and
minds
of
Youth,
whereas
the
effort
provided
a
platform
for
anti-bullying
student
activists
gun
safety,
Advocates
and
student
filmmakers
to
inspire
other
youth
to
find
solutions
for
violence
in
America
shoot.
Film,
not
guns
became
Linden's
focus
and
Mission,
because
it
required
youth
to
cultivate
a
broad
spectrum
of
skills
to
develop
their
strong
anti-bullying
and
non-violent
Solutions.
D
Whereas
his
dream
and
goal
of
the
initiative
has
been
to
reduce
bullying
and
violence
in
America's,
middle
and
high
schools
using
student
ambassadors,
teachers
and
administrators,
whereas
Linda's
commitment
to
building
peace
and
fighting
youth
violence,
Drew
him
to
Dr
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr,
Outdoor,
Learning
Trail,
sponsored
by
turnaround
Columbus
soon.
He
was
managing
and
organizing
turn
around
Columbus
annual
service
project.
A
trail
cleanup
on
Dr
Martin,
Luther,
King,
Jr's
birthday.
D
G
E
D
This
is
I'm
real
emotional,
when
I
first
got
to
Columbus
Miss
Elena
Birch
was
one
of
the
first
people
that
I
met.
My
daughter,
attended,
South,
Gerard,
Girls,
Inc
and
I.
Never
forget
just
the
impact
that
he
made
on
Megan's
life
and
she
was
there
in
in
kindergarten,
I
mean
she
started
as
a
youngster
and
grew
up
with
him
when
girls
ain't
before
they
end
up
closing
South
Gerard.
D
What
Lyndon
did
for
those
young
people
and
I
saw
how
dedicated
he
was
to
those
girls
and
seeing
that
this,
this
area,
that
you
know
we
were
really
fighting
to
keep
this
Center
open
because
it
was
a
feeder
Center
for
MLK.
And
now
we
see
all
the
violence
you
know
going
on,
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
places
for
our
kids
to
go,
but
our
girls
got
out
there.
D
On
Monday
January
16th
Linda
made
sure
that
Megan
got
to
the
job
because
she
was
one
of
his
ambassadors
and
she
was
doing
some
some
film
and
photography
and
they
were
gonna
put
together.
A
documentary
Linden
had
passed
while
Megan
was
out
there,
but
the
first
thing
they
did
was
say:
Lyndon
wanted
Megan
to
get
her
money,
and
that
and
I
mean
that
means
so
much
to
me,
because
he
was
just
full
of
Integrity
full
of
passion,
full
of
compassion,
full
of
heart,
and
he
cared
about
these
kids.
D
D
Thank
you,
Mom
for
doing
this
for
Lending
and
I.
Thank
you,
Mr
B,
for
reaching
out,
because
people
don't
understand
the
magnitude
that
individuals
in
our
community
actually
make
on
our
children
and
she
called
him
Coach.
That's
a
personal,
respectful
acronym.
She
looked
up
to
him
and
many
more
people
looked
up
to
Mr
Linden
Burge,
so
I
want
to
let
you
know,
don't
hold.
D
E
I
just
want
to
say
there
have
been
a
lot
of
nights
where
I
watched
him
stay
up,
late,
worrying
about
the
situation
and
our
community
and
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
improve
them,
whether
it
was
at
Girls
Inc,
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
whatever
he
was
trying
to
do
and
I
remember
when
he
thought
that
what
he
was
trying
to
do
with
those
Sinners
was
not
enough
and
he
branched
out
on
his
own.
He
started
saying
well,
I
need
to
do
something
more
and
there
were
a
lot
of
sleepless
nights.
E
I
did
give
up
a
lot
as
he
was
not
only
here
in
our
community
because,
first
of
all,
if
you
don't
know
already,
this
is
not
Linden's
home.
This
is
actually
my
home
he's
a
South
Carolina
transplant
by
way
of
Atlanta
and
when
he
came
to
Columbus
he
really
had
no
obligations
here.
It
was
me,
but
he
wanted
to
make
things
better.
He
wanted
to
reach
out
to
what
he
saw
going
on
in
the
community
and
try
to
make
things
better.
Everybody
can't
bounce
a
basketball.
E
You
know
everybody's
not
going
to
be
a
road
scholar,
but
there
are
the
Arts
and
there
are
other
ways
the
kids
need
to
know
that
they
could.
They
could
make
it
they
could
stay
out
of
trouble
and
that's
what
he
wanted
to
do
and
I
just
just
want
to
say
wherever
he
is
I
know,
he's
smiling,
smiling
down
on
us
and
I
know
he's
happy
with
that
big
old
brand
that
he
used
to
have.
Thank
you.
J
Good
morning
I
apologize
for
running
behind
this
morning.
I
was
listening
to
councilor
Tucker
when
I
did
over
what
she
said,
but
you
know
as
well
as
I
do
about
all
that
was
stated
this
morning
and
raising
money
and
everything
how
many
hours
we
spent
after
I
was
the
kids
trying
to
do
homework
and
you
trying
to
balance
things
and
make
sure
that
he
ate
a
decent
meal.
J
So
I
did
not
know
the
last
time
you
and
I
got
together.
I
asked
because
I
had
just
seen
him
at
Panera
Bread,
taking
a
break
to
get
back
to
the
kids,
and
you
told
me
he
was
doing
well
and
you
were
keeping
him
going.
He
was
excited
so,
as
the
council
Tucker
stated,
keep
your
head
up
and
if
we
can
be
of
any
service
to
you,
please
reach
out
to
us
and
we
just
appreciate
his
service.
He
was
a
big
big,
big,
big
man
in
this
community.
Thank
you
and.
G
We
you
know
Council
Tucker,
asked
me
to
speak
briefly
and
Linden
became
a
friend
and
that's
why
I
call
him
Linda,
not
Mr
Birch.
We.
K
G
When
the
Girls
Inc
was
going
to
close,
as
you
were
talking
about
counselor
Tucker
and
he
I
mean
he
was
so
passionate
about
saving
this
place.
The
problem
was,
it
was
in
in
severe
disrepair.
G
G
He
went
to
work
for
the
boys
and
girls
club,
and
then
he
started
his
own
program
and
the
shoot
film
not
guns
program
is
a
huge
example
of
what
I
think
we're
doing
right
in
Columbus
and
funding
those
programs.
G
Lyndon
you'll
find
a
lot
of
people
in
Columbus
that
didn't
know
who
Lyndon
was
and
that's
because
he
didn't
talk
about
himself.
He
talked
about
his
programs
and
his
kids
and
a
perfect
example
of
that
is
his
son.
That
would
come
visit
with
him
and
you
could
tell
immediately
that
he
was
already
instilling
those
same
values
in
his
son
as
a
leader.
G
I
was
talking
to
to
miss
Burch
and
I,
and
I
asked
her
how
she
was
doing
this
has
been
several
weeks
ago.
She
said
I'm
doing
good
and
I
said
well,
how's
your
son
doing
he
she
said
he's
taking
over
he's
taking
care
of
his
mama
and
he's
running
the
house
and
I
said
you
know
that
right
there
just
shows
what
kind
of
man
he
was.
G
You
know
I've
always
said
when
I
die,
I
just
hope
my
kids
can
get
in
front
of
a
mic
and
say
my
dad
tried
and
Mr
Birch
did
way
more
than
try.
He
was
a
massive
warrior
in
Columbus
Georgia,
and
this
last
thing
I'll,
say
years
ago.
Some
of
y'all
might
remember
this.
When
George
Bush
said
that
the
10
000
Points
of
Light
I
think
that
was
the
the
phrase
we
had
a
light
go
out
in
January
16th.
He
was
an
amazing
man
who
was
constantly
trying
to
help
children.
So
thank
you.
Thank.

L
Whereas

and
significant
financial

to
the

the
Greater

All
right:

month
and

literary
Alliance
is
going

members
of
the
literary
Alliance
going

be
receiving
this
Proclamation
councilor
kogel.
You
want
to
hit
your
button
and
I'll
foreign.
N
O
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
coming
the
proclamation
for
the
let's
read
Muskogee
month.
Reads
as
whereas
litter,
where
is
literary
literary
Alliance,
has
been
an
integral
part
of
the
Columbus
Community
since
1990
and
through
this
organization,
Columbus
was
named.
O
Youth
and
whereas
individuals
with
adequate,
inadequate
literary
skills,
are
more
likely
to
be
among
the
unemployed,
underpaid
with
limited
chance
of
upward
Mobility.
Low
literary
literary
skills
have
direct,
have
a
direct
impact
on
crime,
recidivism
poverty.
Teenage
pregnancy
and
substance,
abuse
and
whereas
families
benefit
from
learning
together
and
being
involved
in
literary
and
educational
activities
at
home
and
school
and
in
the
community.
I.
O
N
N
Every
month,
let's
read
Muskogee
already,
we've
served
over
500
youth
just
to
beginning
of
the
month
of
March
and
I.
Don't
want
to
be
long.
Today
we
will
have
a
ribbon
cutting
for
our
community
book.
Look
in
partnership
with
community
reinvestments.
N
As
well
as
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
so
as
I
mentioned,
one
thing,
I
love
about
Columbus
is
the
sense
of
community
I
stand
here
a
long
time
well,
not
alone,
because
I
have
My
Mini-Me,
but
I
have
so
much
support
when
it
comes
to
providing
literacy,
skills
and
educational
resources
for
our
community.
So
thank
you
all
for
attending
and
let's
read
Muskogee.
N
B
I
B
Q
R
Q
S
B
Oh
I'm,
sorry
counselor,
Barnes,
Brandy.
T
Has
been
doing
this
for
so
long
and
you
you
are
Wonder,
Woman
and
and
Brandy
also
she
and
what
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
you
know
reading
is
a
skill,
has
nothing
to
do
with
intelligence
and
I.
Remember
I
think
the
first
day
that
that
Brandy
started
the
adult
Literacy
Alliance
and
they
are
very
active
group.
T
It's
reading
is
a
skill
and
a
lot
of
individuals
just
never
had
an
opportunity
to
go
and
and
Brandy
I'd
just
like
to
just
take
a
minute
to
speak,
because
you
are
a
hard-working
young
lady
and
you
are
truly
Wonder
Woman.
But
you
would
you
speak
about
the
adult
program.
Please
I.
N
Career
pipeline,
that's
from
birth
forever,
and
so
thank
you,
and
so
our
adult
literacy
program
is
the
reason
why
Literacy
Alliance
was
created
to
address
the
uneducated
Workforce,
and
so
we
worked
with
adults
with
low
low
literacy
skills
to
build
their
confidence
to
build
their
skills
and
then
push
them
on
to
take
additional
education
or
finding
a
career.
So
it's
very
important
for
adults
to
have
those
basic
skills
and,
as
he
mentioned,
our
class
is
in
session
right
now.
N
I
ran
in
to
get
my
shield,
but
I
had
to
run
right
back
out,
so
I
could
be
here
on
time,
but
our
class
does
meet
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays
from
nine
to
noon,
and
it's
it's
so
important
to
have
those,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
Education
opportunities
in
our
community
as
far
as
careers
and
Columbus
State,
the
technical
college.
We
also
have
several
GED
programs,
but
Literacy
Alliance
is
the
only
program
that
serves
those
basic
literacy
skills
from
non-reading,
phonics
learning
and
on
up.
So
thank
you
for
mentioning
that.
D
I
want
to
say,
congratulations.
I
was
actually
I'm
happy
that
director
Scott
had
gave
me
the
information,
but
I
want
you
to
say
exactly
since
you
have
a
captive
audience.
Where
is
the
ribbon?
Cutting
you
know
and
just
give
those
details
and
also
I
want
to
publicly
thank
you
for
your
support
in
Juneteenth
last
year
and
this
year
and
all
the
stuff
that
you
know
you
do
within
our
community.
But
just
let
us
know
where
the
ribbon
cutting
is
because
you
never
know
you
might
get
some
attendance.
N
So
for
our
first
Community
Book
Nook-
and
this
is
a
program
to
use
access
for
to
access
to
high
quality
reading
material
for
Youth
and
adults,
and
this
ribbon
cutter
will
take
place
at
four
o'clock
at
Victory
Mission
that
addresses
3448,
North
Lumpkin
Road-
and
this
is
like
I
mentioned
before.
This
is
a
partnership.
So
it's
not
just
Brandy
and
Literacy
Alliance,
but
this
is
made
possible
through
Community
reinvestment
with
Rob
Scott
and
his
wonderful
team.
I,
don't
know
what
I
would
I
probably
wouldn't
be
standing
here.
N
If
we
didn't
win
that
Grant
from
Community
reinvestments,
but
then
we
also
have
teams
from
the
boys
and
girls
club,
the
club
that
helped
decorate
these
Linda
Librarians
and
then,
of
course,
our
Victory
Mission.
So
this
is
just
the
first
installation,
but
we
have
on
track
to
install
an
additional
two
more
and
that's
just
you
know
from
June.
So
this
is
a
program
that
we're
working
to
increase
access
to
the
book,
especially
in
South
Columbus,
but
for
all
of
Columbus
as
well.
N
N
U
Mr
Mayor
I
I
wanted
to
remind
our
Council
and
our
audience
that
we
are
entering
the
season
of
competition
in
our
schools
and
our
students
throughout
Muskogee
County
School
District
are
competing
in
local
state
and
National
events
for
the
best
athlete
for
the
best
vocational
student
for
the
best
drama
student
for
all
of
those
things,
and
we
have
such
a
good
program
in
Columbus
in
our
school
district,
and
so
when
you
see
those
announcements
that
somebody
has
won
a
local
state
or
national
competition
in
touch
with
them
and
say
good
job,
they
need
all
the
encouragement
we
can
give
and
it
happens
over
and
over
and
over
again
in
Muskogee
County,
and
we
are.
U
B
Said,
thank
you
all
right.
Next,
we're
privileged
to
have
a
visit
with
us
today.
The
Garrison
commander
of
Fort
Benning
Colonel
Malley,
along
with
command
sergeant,
major
Sanchez
and
I'm,
going
to
invite
them
to
the
podium
they're
going
to
I
believe
they
have
issued
a
date
for
the
name,
change
for
Fort
Benning,
and
it's
really
going
to
be
an
exciting
event.
I
believe
and
we're
going
to
get
a
little
update.
Colonel
Mali
welcome,
sir.
V
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
thank
you
for
having
us
here
this
morning
on
behalf
of
Major
General
Buzzard.
We
just
like
to
say
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come,
come
and
speak
about
the
transition
from
Fort
Benning
to
Fort,
Moore
I
think
we
have
a
short
video
we'd
like
to
play
if
we
can
go
ahead
and
do
that.
First,
is
the
public
affairs
video
that
we've
launched
a
few
weeks
ago
and
really
just
a
kind
of
introduction
on
here
to
talk
to
you
today
about
the
Moore
family?
So
if
we
could
play
that
video,
please.
W
X
K
AA
V
The
opportunity
for
letters
to
show
that
video
they're
just
a
little
bit
more
about
the
about
the
Moore
family
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
we're
approaching
a
unique
and
historic
opportunity,
the
renaming
of
the
installation
for
lieutenant
general
Hal
and
Julia
Moore
for
their
meaningful
and
Lasting
contributions
to
our
Army
and
the
nation
I'd
like
to
share
a
little
bit
about
the
process.
That's
gotten
us
here.
As
many
of
you
know,
2020
2021,
National,
Defense
authorization
act
required
that
nine
army
bases
across
the
country
be
renamed
no
later
than
one
January
2024.
V
So
after
several
levels
of
approval,
we
will
be
officially
adopting
the
four
more
name
named
for
Hal
and
Julie
Moore
on
Thursday
May,
11
2023
and
we've
just
recently
got
an
approval
at
the
highest
levels,
the
secretary
of
the
army,
to
do
that
so
internally,
we've
also
been
reviewing
physical
and
and
and
a
number
of
of
assets
that
we
have
buildings
and
Roads
and
other
official
references
to
the
binning
name
as
part
of
this
transition.
V
So
I
want
you
to
all
to
know
that
this
process
is
being
implemented
with
great
care
and
we
end
different
Endeavor
to
keep
the
stakeholders
and
our
community
leaders
informed
throughout
this
process.
As
we
recognize
the
spirit
of
service
the
more
family
represents.
Our
mission
remains
our
number
one
priority
that
will
not
change
it
for
many
to
train
the
world's
finest
soldiers
and
the
world's
finest
fighting
force.
V
These
changes
will
take
time,
we'll
be
working
through
them
as
a
community
grateful
to
Our,
Community
Partners,
who
offer
their
input
throughout
this
process
and
regarding
this
name
change,
will
not
only
honor
the
Moors
to
their
service
to
the
army
of
the
nation,
but
our
army
families
and
their
service
and
sacrifice
as
well.
So
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
Lieutenant
General,
Hal
and
Julie
Moore.
V
So
so
from
this
standpoint,
it's
really
a
an
intro
reintroduction,
but
some
of
you
who
aren't
familiar
this
is
really
kind
of
the
first
introduction
and
that's
why
we
wanted
to
come
and
speak
about
them
today.
So
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
General
Moore's
time
in
the
I
dream
Valley
he
was
a.
He
was
a
Korea
and
a
Vietnam
war.
V
V
So
some
of
you
may
be
also
familiar
with
Weber
soldiers
once
in
young,
the
movie
and
the
book,
and
what
I'll
tell
you
is
if
you've
seen
the
movie
I
would
ask
you
now
that
we're
coming
upon
such
a
historic
and
Monumental
time?
It
may
be
worth
watching
again.
I
know
a
number
of
us
in
Fort
Benny
have
watched
it
again
and
there's
new
connections
that
we've
made
by
really
understanding
so
much
more
about
the
war
about
the
Moore
family.
V
What
a
wonderful
husband
and
wife
team
parents
to
five
children
who
live,
who
live
close
a
few
of
them
live
close
and
we've
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
them
throughout
this
process,
and
they
will
be
there.
Four
out
of
five
of
them
are
planning
to
be
there
right
now
in
11,
May,
we're
really
so
lucky
of
those
nine
installations
that
are
going
to
be
renaming,
we're
the
only
one
that's
going
to
be
renaming
for
a
husband
and
wife
team.
So
what
a?
V
What
a
special
connection
that
will
have
as
well
Helen
Julia
more
exemplify
the
very
essence
of
what
it
means
to
be:
an
army
family,
in
short,
their
lives
embodied
our
army
values.
Their
service
to
the
country
has
been
selfless
and
steadfast
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
they're
also
buried
on
forbidding
so
A
fitting
tribute
to
them
as
well.
V
I
couldn't
think
of
a
greater
role
model
for
the
inspiration
of
the
next
generation
of
men
and
women
that
are
serving
their
countries
going
through
Fort,
Benning
learning
how
to
be
soldiers
and
warriors
and
and
preparing
themselves
for
for
potential
combat.
V
V
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
again
for
their
for
their
support
of
Fort
Benning
and
the
installation
and
being
steadfast
and
reliable
Community
Partners.
We
obviously
can't
perform
our
mission
without
you
and
it
is
a
special
opportunity
for
sergeant
major
Sanchez
and
I
to
come,
speak
to
you.
V
We
have
responsibilities
to
our
soldiers
and
families,
but
also
just
as
important
responsibility
to
the
community
as
well,
so
I'd
like
to
to
end
there
and
and
Sir
if
I
may,
if
there
are
any
questions,
we're
happy
to
answer
those
about
the
process
or
or
or
anything
else,
as
as
we
are
approaching
this
state.
Thank.
V
Thursday
11,
may
we
don't
have
an
exact
start
time
it
because
it's
going
to
be
hot.
As
we
all
know,
it's
likely
going
to
be
in
the
morning,
probably
8,
30
or
9
A.M,
but
Thursday
11
May.
It
will
be
on
post.
It
will
likely
be
at
Doughboy
Stadium,
which
is
a
absolute
historic
and
iconic
location
on
Main
Post
that
was
actually
one
of
the
locations
but
but
a
historic
location,
because
General
Moore
gave
the
speech
to
his
Battalion
before
they
left
the
Vietnam
inside
Doughboys
Stadium.
V
We
do
have
an
inclement
weather
formation,
inclement
weather
plan
as
well,
but
right
now,
the
morning
of
Thursday
11
May,
sir.
S
B
What
Columbus
Georgia
is
always
supported
has
been
the
soldiers
and
that's
one
thing:
the
mission
the
soldiers
will
never
change,
no
matter
what
the
name
is,
that's
where
our
focus
is,
and
we
thank
you,
gentlemen,
for
your
service.
We
thank
you
for
the
leadership
and
we
thank
you.
Please
take
back
to
General
Buzzard
how
how
committed
we
are
to
continuing
this
relationship
with
with
Fort
Benning
Mississippi.
AB
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
and
I
really
want
to
thank
General,
Buzzard,
Colonel,
Maley
and
all
of
what
Ben
and
and
thank
you
mayor
for
bringing
us
together
to
talk
about
this
transition,
the
plan
and
and
how
it
spills
over
into
Columbus.
I
know
you
have
that
meeting
mayor
on
the
ground
floor
of
the
government
center
with
all
of
the
Fort
Benning
officials,
and
but
thank
you
for
your
work
for
the
way.
AB
This
is
all
come
together
in
the
transition
and
and
mayor
if
it's
okay
I'd,
like
for
a
deputy
city
manager,
Pam
Haas
to
just
mentioned
what
we
are
doing
in
this
transition.
I
appointed
her
to
to
work
on
this,
and
this
will
be
brief.
But
I
just
wanted
the
community
to
know
that
it
does
spill
over
into
Columbus
the
name
in
the
Fort
Benning.
We
have
Fort
been
enrolled
and
so
forth,
but
we've
got
our
team
working
with
Fort
Benning
to
make
this
a
smooth
transition,
so
Deputy
city
manager,
Hodge.
If
you
will.
AC
Good
morning,
so
we
have
been
working
for
several
months.
Kind
of
behind
the
scene
is
with
Fort
Benning
and
also
with
Georgia
Department
of
Transportation.
There's
a
lot
of
signage
that
directs
you
to
Fort
Benning,
and
so
that
will
be
the
responsibility
of
GDOT,
but
we
are
investigating
removing
the
panel
from
the
bridge
that
leads
into
Fort
Benning.
Obviously
it
was
not
built
to
be
removed,
so
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
investigative
work
with
GDOT
to
determine
how
we
can
remove
that
panel
and
then
replace
it
with
Fort
Moore.
AC
So
our
goal
is
to
have
it
removed
by
the
May
11th
date
and
we'll
work
toward
towards
having
it
replaced
with
the
appropriate
name.
We
are
looking
at
a
complete
inventory
of
all
of
our
roads
parks
that
have
the
binning
name
and
we'll
be
coming
back
to
council
with
the
presentation
for
you
to
you
know,
there's
a
there's,
an
entire
process
that
will
be
required
for
renaming
a
road.
It's
not
just
as
simple
as
changing
the
street
sign.
AC
B
And
with
regards
to
that,
welcome
Bridge,
it's
such
an
incredible
iconic
sight.
As
people
come
on
to
Fort
Benning,
we
will
be
in
constant
contact
with
Mr,
Turner
and
and
with
Mr
welberg,
who
were
integral
in
trying
to
help
us
secure
that
and
so
I
think.
Just
as
a
courtesy,
we
will
make
sure
that
they
get
regular
updates
on
the
process
and
know
where
we
are
in
the
in
the
in
the
efforts
to
try
to
get
this
all
done.
But
thank
you,
gentlemen.
B
All
right
next
there's
an
update
on
the
Columbus
Police
Department
presentation,
strategic
plan
by
Chief
Freddie
Blackman
Chief,
is
in
the
back.
AD
Good
morning,
Mr
Mayor
city
council
members
to
see
the
manager
and
Mississippi
attorney
before
I
begin.
My
presentation
I
do
want
to
stay
the
point
of
clarity,
because
so
many
people
have
approached
me
asking
my
last
presentation
regarding
the
response
to
the
just
a
huge
assessment
it.
Actually,
it
was
not.
It
was
in
reference
to
the
mayor's
request
to
provide
an
update,
as
it
relates
to
part
one
crimes
and
our
staffing
numbers
at
our
police
department.
But
today
is
a
response
to
the
Jason
Hughes
assessment
report.
AD
The
Strategic
directions,
the
10
strategic
directions
that
were
communicated
in
this
assessment
report
would
be
communicated
through
four
lines
of
effort
and
those
lines
of
efforts
are
personnel,
operations,
training
and
Community
engagement.
And
this
is
information,
as
we
were
informed
by
the
Justin
Hughes
assessment
report,
through
communication
with
our
Command
Staff
as
each
member
members
of
our
Command
Staff,
who
are
assigned
different
segments
of
these
10
strategic
directions
and
recommendations
from
our
retention
committee.
AD
This,
this
retention
bonus,
would
be
paid
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
I
request
that
it
be
retroactive
to
January
or
this
year
and
last
throughout
this
year,
and
this
is
something
as
I've,
communicated
with
a
mayor
requesting
some
incentives
to
help
towards
retention.
The
mayor,
communicated
with
I'll,
see
the
manager
and,
and
so
the
communication
has
been
with
finance
and
finance
and
stated
and
I
have
an
email
or
find
where
I
finance
department
has
communicated
that
this
is
something
that
actually
can
be
implemented
effective
in
April
next
month.
AD
In
addition
to
that,
the
employee
employee
referral
program,
where
our
officers
who
refer
a
police
officer,
will
receive
a
bonus
of
six
hundred
dollars.
In
addition
to
that,
an
increase
to
our
relocation
fee
for
applicants
that
out
that
are
outside
of
the
radius
of
50
miles.
We
want
to
increase
that
from
the
thousand
dollars
that
we
have
today
to
three
thousand
dollars,
and
this
is
something
that
our
finance
Department
says,
that
it
can
be
done
and
it
can
be
done
and
I'm
requesting
it
to
be
done
in
April.
AD
Of
course,
it
will
require
some
Reserve
funds
about
five
days
of
reserves,
spending
to
to
take
care
of
this,
but
this
is
something
that
we
can
definitely
do
and
I
know.
Some
of
these
other
requests
will
be
something
that
needs
to
be
handled
through
our
budget
process
and
I
know
we're
currently
in
our
budget
process.
AD
But
as
we
look
towards
our
next
fiscal
year,
this
this
coming
July
I
request
that
we
give
some
attention
for
a
supplement
pay
to
our
police
officers
in
order
for
us
to
remain
competitive
in
in
law
enforcement
field,
with
our
neighboring
agencies
and
agencies
comparable
to
our
size.
We
would
like
for
our
officers
to
receive
an
additional
five
thousand
dollar
supplement
pay.
Currently
our
officers
receive
3121
dollars
in
the
old
laws
and
then
two
thousand
dollars
in
supplement,
but
I'm,
requesting
that
we
consider
an
additional
amount.
AD
Five
thousand
dollars
for
supplement
pay,
as
well
as
supplement
pay
of
five
thousand
one
hundred
twenty
one
dollars
for
our
911
employees.
These
employees
provide
a
very
critical
role
in
our
First
Responders
way
of
doing
business
they're
on
the
the
initial
in
that
receiving
calls
into
9-1-1
and
providing
services,
and
they
provide
a
very
critical
responsibility
for
providing
safety
to
our
city
and
I,
also
like
to
see
our
911
Personnel
added
to
our
Public
Safety
pension
plan.
AD
As
we
go
forward.
So
the
the
retention
committee
was
initiated
in
2021
and
they
brought
forth
ideas
that
we've
been
some
of
which
we've
been
able
to
implement
and
some
were
still
working
towards
it
getting
approval.
But
some
of
the
implementations
that
have
taken
place
involve
the
beard
policy.
In
addition
to
that,
our
uniform
and-
and
so
we
are
we're
listening
to
our
retention
committee.
AD
I
met
with
them
on
last
week
and
they've
communicated
some
concerns
as
well
as
it
relates
to
retention,
and
they
would
like
to
see-
and
we
would
like
to
see
a
revision
of
the
the
retirement
plan
for
our
police
officers.
Currently,
our
retirement
plan
requires
for
30
years
of
service,
55
years
of
age,
and
the
officer
will
receive
60
of
their
salary.
AD
Well,
with
this
revised
retirement
plan,
our
officers
are
seeking
20
years
of
service
and
to
be
able
to
receive
60
of
the
salary
or
25
years
of
service
and
to
be
able
to
receive
seventy
percent
of
the
salary
30
years
of
service,
with
80
of
the
salary,
with
no
age
requirement
and
I
know
again.
AD
AD
Our
officers
are
also
requesting
benefits,
as
it
relates
to
child
care,
and
they
would
like
to
see
those
benefits
at
no
cost
and
then
in
order
to
be
able
to
receive
experienced
officers
in
our
department,
we
are
seeking
the
opportunity
to
have
a
lateral
transfer
for
Georgia
Post
certified
offices.
So
this
will
allow
allow
Georgia
post-certified
officers
up
to
who
have
up
to
10
years
of
service
to
come
into
our
department
receive
a
bonus
of
eight
thousand
dollars
and
start
at
that
on
the
pay
scale,
based
on
their
level
of
experience.
AD
AD
In
addition
to
that,
as
we
continue
in
our
Personnel
line
of
effort,
our
recruitment
will
steadily
increase.
We
we
seek
to
attend
at
least
40
job
fairs
a
year,
and
this
is
something
we've
already
started,
and
we
will
continue
to
go
to
our
high
schools
to
promote
our
Cadet
program,
as
well
as
our
9-1-1
career
opportunities.
AD
And
so,
as
our
recruiters
go
to
the
high
schools,
they
will
bring
Cadets
with
them,
as
well
as
9-1-1
employees,
to
be
able
to
communicate
to
our
high
schoolers
to
let
them
know
that
there
are
other
options
for
them
upon
graduating
from
high
school.
In
addition
to
that,
our
recruitment
team
will
be
seeking
to
purchase
in
our
budget
this
upcoming
budget
year,
new
software.
AD
Now,
according
to
the
time
when
we
prepared
these
slots,
we
had
numbers
at
299
as
our
current
Staffing.
As
of
today.
We
have
about
295
officers
and
we
have
149
vacancies,
and
so,
in
order
to
fill
these
vacancies,
we
are
working
in
hopes
to
get
these
incentives
added
on
for
our
for
the
men
and
women
of
the
Columbus
Police
Department,
as
we
work
towards
being
able
to
retain
our
officers
as
well
as
recruit
additional
officers,
and
so
we
we're
seeking
to
fill
these
positions
as
well
as
our
civilian
positions
that
are
vacant.
AD
AD
AD
We
would
allow
our
homicide
unit
to
investigate
the
homicide,
but,
as
we
currently
have
it,
our
homicide
unit
will
be
investigating
homicides,
robberies
and
assaults,
which
is
actually
not
anything
new
to
our
department,
because
even
when
I
was
a
lieutenant
in
our
Bureau
of
Investigative
Services,
the
the
squad
that
I
was
responsible
for.
We
investigated
homicides,
robberies
and
assaults,
and
this
is
something
we
we
have
changed
to
reorganize
reorganize
our
Bureau
Investigative
Services,
temporary,
on
a
temporary
basis
until
we're
able
to
get
our
numbers
up.
AD
We
we've
already
met
with
our
district
attorney's
office,
and
we
already
have
this
agreement
where
those
individuals
will
be
brought
up
on
a
direct
indictment
for
game
participation.
Charge
in
this
charge
will
provide
an
even
more
severe
punishment
upon
conviction,
and
so
that's
a
Direction
that
we
are
we
currently
have,
but
we
are
going
to
transfer
the
responsibility
to
our
Bureau
Investigative
Services.
However,
before
that
transfer
takes
place,
we
are
going
to
make
sure
that
we
have
gang
analysts
on
board.
AD
AD
In
addition
to
that,
the
the
second
part
of
what
we're
doing
with
our
approach
on
gains
and
I
told
you
a
two-prong
approach.
One
is
proactive,
policing
part,
but
the
second
one
is
the
community
engagement
piece
and
we
have
officers
that
are
teaching
Prevention
classes
to
the
elementary
students
to
the
middle
schools,
the
high
school,
even
College
age,
students.
AD
And
so
our
gain
strategic
plan
would
be
even
more
in
depth
and,
of
course,
it
takes
a
while
for
this
process
to
take
place.
But
we
we're
in
the
process
of
researching
other
games,
city-wide
strategies
for
game
activity
reduction,
and
we
we
are
going
to
formulate
the
committee
in
order
to
create
the
city-wide
gain
strategy
as
we
work
and
conduct
our
research
and
put
plans
in
place
as
we
work
to
eradicate
gains
in
our
city
and
reduce
it
significantly.
AD
AD
Another
law
enforcement
role
within
our
department
and
then
our
real-time
crime,
Center
that
that's
that's
a
unit
where
we
we
have
an
operation
but
we're
steadily
working
to
develop
this
unit
even
more
so
that
services
will
be
provided
to
our
investigators,
as
well
as
to
our
officers
in
the
field
as
the
the
take
part
in
utilizing.
Our
law
enforcement
technology,
as
it
relates
to
our
camera
and
other
technology
pieces
that
we
have
in
place,
and
so
a
real-time
crime
Center
would
need
civilians
there
as
well
to
be
able
to
operate
in
that
unit.
AD
AD
Continuing
in
our
operations
line
of
effort
regarding
our
technology,
we
we're
steadily
working
to
update
and
upgrade
our
CAD,
our
community,
our
computer
Aid
dispatch
and
our
motor
data
terminal
MDT,
where
officers
in
the
field
will
be
able
to
benefit
by
receiving
information,
for
example,
if
if
an
officer
checks
a
name
on
a
person
through
a
computer
check,
and
that
information
will
be
able
to
eventually
populate
so
that
the
officer
will
actually
see
who
they're
interacting
with
and
as
opposed
to
as
we
currently
have,
and
as
we
shared
over
the
years,
we're
checking
the
name,
and
we
have
information
on
the
person
that
we're
checking,
but
we
don't
have
a
picture
to
to
verify.
AD
That's
who
that
person
is
so.
This
will
be
a
great
help,
and
this
is
something
that
that
we've
been
working
on
since
2021.
We
are
currently
working
on
it,
and-
and
this
is
this
is
this-
is
pro.
This
is
a
process
that
will
take
a
little
time
more
to
develop
and
upgrade
as
we
work
with
our
vendors.
But
as
we
work
continuously
in
this
effort,
we
will
look
forward
to
improving
our
technology
in
that
area.
Also,
we
are
looking
to
improve
our
radio
interoperability.
AD
AD
But
we
do
not
have
the
opportunity
now
to
communicate
with
our
partners
in
Phoenix
City
at
the
Phoenix
City
Police,
Department
or
Lee
County
Sheriff's
office
or
the
Russell
County
Sheriff's
office,
or
even
when
we
are
partnering
with
Georgia
State
Patrol
when
they're.
Here
they
have
to
use
our
radios,
but
with
this
new
upgrade
and
Technology,
this
would
allow
more
radio
interoperability
to
take
place
so
that
we
will
actually
be
able
to
communicate
with
one
another
through
our
radio
traffic
and
without
having
to
borrow
loan
out
radios.
K
AD
Done
we'll
have
this
in
place
and
be
able
to
move
forward
from
there,
so
our
line
of
effort
as
it
relates
to
training
training,
is
something
that
we
always
have
done
and
will
continue
to
do,
even
as
it
relates
to
our
supervisory
in
management
training.
This
is
something
that
we,
where
we
train
at
our
state
level,
we
train
at
our
federal
level
and
even
at
the
executive
level
of
training,
for
example,
like
the
FBI
National
Academy.
AD
We
we
have
officers
that
are
Lieutenant
above
and
ranked
that
are
eligible
to
receive
that
training
and
then,
as
far
as
the
supervisory
and
management
training
in
each
in
each
category,
there
are
three
levels
of
trainings
for
supervisors
and
three
levels
of
training
for
management
that
our
officers
are
able
to
receive
that
enables
them
to
to
grow
and
develop
and
improve
their
their
skill
set
and
their
knowledge
base
as
they
work
in
the
field
of
providing
services
to
the
men
and
women
in
our
department
as
well,
students
and
citizens
in
our
community.
AD
In
addition
to
that,
we're
developing
our
internal
training,
that's
designed
specifically
for
our
current
supervisors,
as
well
as
our
new
supervisors.
In
this
training,
our
supervisors
will
receive
a
reminder,
or
or
even
an
awareness
communicated
to
them,
as
as
it
relates
to
them
doing
their
job
on
a
day-to-day
basis
based
on
job
related
requirements.
So
this
training
will
take
place
on
an
annual
basis
as
it
is
conducted
within
our
Training
Division,
and
so
as
we
continue
with
our
training
line
and
effort,
as
I
stated,
our
Training
Division
conducts
our
training
in-house.
AD
Of
course,
our
officers
are
certainly
eligible
to
receive
training
outside
of
our
Training
Division
and
they
receive
training
on
a
regular
basis
and
matter
of
fact,
you'll
see
a
budget
increase
on
that
as
well.
Regarding
training,
because
we
have
a
very
very
young
department
and
a
lot
of
people
in
different
positions,
and
so
training
is
what's
needed
to
be
able
to
bring
our
men
and
women
up
to
speed
as
to
what
needs
to
take
place.
But
we
will
continue
to
review
our
training
because
the
training
that's
conducted
in-house
is
conducted
by
certified
instructors.
AD
These
instructors
are
certified
through
the
state
of
Georgia
and
through
this
certification
process,
for
example,
if
there's
training
regarding
a
general
topic,
we
have
officers
who
have
a
general
instructor
certification.
We
have
officers
who
have
firearms
instructors
certification,
we
have
officers
who
have
defensive
tactics,
certifications
and
and
so
on.
AD
So,
regarding
Community
engagement
and
you've
heard
me
say
a
lot
about
Community
engagement,
and
so,
as
we
work
at
this
line
of
effort
on
community
engagement,
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
develop
our
written
a
strategic,
comprehensive
plan
on
community
policing
that
those
strategies
will
definitely
reflect
what
we
need
to
do
from
an
ongoing
standpoint
within
our
department.
We
will
ensure
that
we
continue
to
interact
with
our
community
and
work
at
communicating
to
our
community
members.
AD
Various
Public
Safety
initiatives
like
ongoing
Community
needs
and
ensuring
that
our
community
is
aware
as
to
what
should
take
place
when
they're
out
and
about
what
should
their
interactions
be.
We
want
to
make
our
community
members
aware,
and
so
they
have
a
great
understanding
as
to
what
should
take
place,
and
we
will
certainly
make
sure
that
the
Strategic
plan
in
that
regard
the
comprehensive
plan
regarding
community
policing.
AD
It's
something
that's
that
includes
those
efforts
and,
as
we
continue
to
research
and
find
best
practices
for
our
community
policing
plan,
we
will
continue
to
ensure
that
we
put
a
plan
in
place.
That
represents
our
department,
so
that
you
know
so
that
we'll
be
able
to
go
forward
and
be
a
even
greater
help
to
the
citizens
in
our
community.
AD
Recently,
we
met
with
a
group
of
individuals
who
were
recipients
of
the
crime
prevention
Grant,
and
so
we
communicated
with
them
in
the
ways
so
that
we'll
be
able
to
continue
partnering
with
them
and
get
in
some
ideas
and
some
thoughts
and
suggestions
as
we
work
together
to
to
to
strengthen
what
we're
doing
and
bring
about
an
awareness
as
to
what's
taking
place
as
it
relates
to
crime
and
violent
crime,
gun
violence,
crimes
that
that
we
see
occur
in
our
community.
And
so
in
doing
that.
AD
We
we
want
to
bring
about
an
awareness
as
it
relates
to
poverty
and
as
it
relates
to
deficiencies
in
education
or
deficiencies
in
in
health
care
or
mental
health,
related
situations
where
there
are
deficiencies
and
so
and
we
we
also
want
to
bring
about
an
awareness
where
there's
easy
access
to
firearms
from
from
those
individuals
who
are
at
risk
for
using
it
for
the
wrong
reasons.
So
we
want
to
be
able
to
continue
to
partner
with
our
community
groups
as
we
work
together
to
bring
about
a
safer
community.
AD
And,
of
course,
we
we
research,
the
International
Association
of
chiefs
of
police
and
regarding
regarding
community
safety
and
crime
strategies
for
to
ensure
Community
safety
and
the
International
Association
of
chiefs.
Police
states
that
safety,
Community
safety
is
everybody's
responsibility,
and
it
also
states
that
crime
prevention
is
everybody's
business
and,
as
we
take
as
we
take
on
that
mindset
here
and
work
together
with
our
community,
we'll
be
able
to
collaborate
collaboratively
work
at
reducing
crime,
gun
violence
crimes
in
our
community.
AD
We
should
be
in
the
better
position
as
we
work
towards
reducing
crime
in
our
community
and,
of
course,
we'll
continue
to
work
towards
our
producing
our
social
media
platforms,
to
communicate
with
our
community
insignificant
or
high
profile,
Public
Safety
related
incidents,
and
so,
as
we
communicated
our
mission
statement
earlier,
we
we
want
to
understand.
We
want
everyone
to
understand
that
our
lines
of
efforts
that
we've
communicated
will
put
us
in
the
position
to
be
able
to
move
forward
as
we
work
towards
and
understand
and
understand
that
that's
a
process.
AD
This
will
be
a
process
not
overnight
to
get
to
where
we
need
to
go
towards
reducing
crime
and
ensuring
that
operationally
within
our
department,
we're
where
we
need
to
be,
as
we
provide
services
internally
to
the
men
and
women
at
the
police
department,
as
well
as
externally
to
our
citizens
and
so
I
have
in
this
presentation
from
or
rather
in
this
assessment
report
from
Justin
Hughes.
There
were
over
70
recommendations.
U
First
of
all,
Chief
I
want
to
express
to
you
my
condolences
and
I'm
sure
the
condolences
of
other
members
of
the
Council
on
the
recent
loss
of
one
of
our
officers.
It
was
quite
a
blow,
and
we
thank
you
for
for
what
you
have
done
in
that
area.
I
have
a
number
of
questions
about
the
the
presentation
and
one
of
the
first
one
of
them
goes
back
to
the
supplement,
increasing
it
to
ten
thousand
plus.
You
said
that
you
wanted
to
do
that
in
April.
U
Do
you
do
you
have
a
figure?
How
much
that
will
cost
well.
AD
Actually,
what
I
want
to
do
in
April
is
implement
the
fifteen
hundred
dollars
retention,
bonus
for
April
for
the
men
and
women
the
sworn
officers,
as
well
as
our
emergency
communication.
AD
Now
the
the
five
thousand
dollar
additional
amount
for
sworn
personnel-
that's
that's
a
cost
of
at
the
numbers
we
have
with
the
444
budget,
budgeted
positions,
that's
going
to
be
about
in
the
net,
give
or
take
a
couple
of
numbers
about
2.2
million
dollars
and,
of
course,
that's
something
that
has
to
be
sustainable
as
well,
and
that's
why
I
said
I
know
we're
going
through
the
budget
process,
and
so
that's
something
that
I
would
like
for
us
to
look
at
a
little
closer
to
see
how
or
if
we
can
go
about
and
get
that
done.
U
Well,
the
the
budget
for
FY
24
will
be
adopted.
July
1,
but
you
are
looking
to
implement
this
prior
to
the
new
fiscal
year
budget.
Is
that
semi-correct
in
that?
So.
AD
What
I'm,
looking
to
implement
now
to
start
next
month
in
April,
is
an
opportunity
for
our
number.
Our
911
emergency
communication
officers
and
I
was
sworn
police
officers
to
receive
a
fifteen
hundred
dollars
retention
bonus
on
a
quarterly
basis.
That
would
be
retroactive
to
January
1st
of
this
year
and
that
would
last
throughout
this
year.
So
everyone
is
on
payroll
at
the
end
of
the
at
the
end
of
the
quarter
will
be
able
to
receive
that
fifteen
hundred
dollar
retention
bonus.
U
Cycle
and
I'm
I'm,
assuming
that
all
of
these
figures
that
you
have
given
us
today,
that
are
increases
in
costs
to
the
department,
including
salary
and
technology,
and
all
that
other
stuff
are
things
that
you
have
included
in
your
budget
proposal
for
fy24,
yes,
ma'am.
U
One
of
the
questions
that
I
have
that
I
have
been
asked.
Is
the
9-1-1
operators?
AD
U
The
150
Dollar
Car
supplement-
that
was
a
monthly
figure
right.
150
is
a
monthly
figure
that
you're
looking
at
yes,.
U
U
And
we
have
tried
our
Council
has
tried
very
hard
to
get
our
legislative
delegation
to
talk
with
the
folks
in
Alabama
about
can't
we
do
something
not
only
for
Columbus
but
for
other
cities
that
are
on
the
border
of
the
state.
That
may
have
the
same
problem.
You
know
the
folks
on
the
East
Coast
that
go
into
South
Carolina
and
that
sort
of
thing,
so
anything
that
we
can
do
along
that
line.
I
think
would
be
very
helpful.
Yeah.
B
U
Good,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
would
certainly
help
in
this
issue.
Do
you
happen
to
know
how
many,
how
much
that
would
cost
us?
How
many
officers
we
have
that
that
live
in
Alabama
and
drive
their
could
drive
their
cars?
The.
AD
U
Yeah:
okay,
okay,
one
of
the
issues
that
you
brought
up
was
this:
was
the
child
care
benefit?
U
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
more
about
how
that
would
work
and
how
much
that
would
cost
and
what
you,
what
you
see
in
that
area?
Well,.
AD
Them
that
that's
something
that
we
we
definitely
have
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into,
because
we
have
to
assess
to
see
you
know
which
facilities
that
would
be
willing,
if
any,
would
be
willing
to
to
allow
that
if
in
and
then
we
will
have
to
see
based
on
that
information,
how
many
officers
were
going
to
take
advantage
of
that
opportunity.
So
that's
something
that
our
retention
committee
will
be
researching
even
more
to
bring
back
additional
information
in
that
regard.
U
And
lastly,
I
guess
the
have
you
met
with,
or
do
you
plan
to
meet
with
the
officers
in
the
department
to
go
through
some
of
this
with
them
so
that
they
will
know
what's
what's
being
proposed
and
so
forth?
Yes,
ma'am.
AD
So
so
what
I
would
do
is
is,
through
our
we
have
annually
I
meet
with
all
the
supervisors
and
communicate
our
even
our
previous
strategic
plan
that
was
communicated,
but
even
with
this
we'll
be
able
to
hopefully
get
an
excerpt
of
this
presentation
and
be
able
to
use
utilize
our
social
media
and
allow
all
of
our
officers
to
receive
this
information
in
detail
as
it
was
presented,
and
so
that
and
then
continue
to
to
I
will
continue
to
visit
the
precincts
in
the
the
briefings
for
our
investigators
and
officers
and
our
support
side
as
well.
U
Well,
I
I
would
encourage
you
strongly
encourage
you
to
meet
with
the
the
officer
that's
on
the
street,
along
with
your
supervisors
and
so
forth,
to
present
some
of
this
plan
to
them
so
that
everybody
knows
what
we're
talking
about
exactly.
B
Yes,
ma'am
councilor,
counselor
Barnes.
Excuse
me
Council
Barnes,.
T
T
The
fact
that
you
are
going
to
be
freeing
up
at
crime
scenes
supplementing
the
post-certified
officers
that
could
be
doing
other
things
and
having
civilians
do
the
job
right.
It's
huge
and
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
I
think
may
have
come
up.
I
think
that's
what
it
is
just
a
huge
report
that
that's
huge,
a
huge
step,
because
civilians
can
be
trained
to
that
to
do
that
without
sacrificing
post-certified
officers.
T
T
That's
huge,
because
you've
got
to
double
up
now
right
and
concentrate
on
training,
for
the
lack
of
experience
that
some
of
the
officers
have
and
I
see
some
of
my
military
here
smiling
and
laughing.
They
know
that
the
one
thing
you've
got
to
have
in
leaders.
You've
got
to
have
experience,
nothing
trumps
experience
so.
T
Now,
just
from
being
on
Council
and
I
know,
a
lot
of
these
counselors
will
amen
what
I'm
singing,
because
they
have
neighborhood
watch
organizations
throughout
wherever
you
have
a
neighborhood
watch
in
my
district
and
some
of
the
other
logistics
of
these
counselors.
It
lowers
the
crime
rate,
because
safety
starts
at
the
individual
level,
amen
right.
It
starts
at
the
individual
level,
and
so
the
civilian
population
have
to
assist
the
police
department
and
the
proof
is
in
the
pudding
in
my
in
my
district,
where
I
have
a
viable
neighborhood
watch
they're
on
automatic
pilot.
T
T
T
So
what
I'm
saying
is
that
that's
and
I
would
like
to
you
have
a
quarter
if
we
can
discuss
this
here,
because
I'm
talking
repetition
is
a
mother
of
study,
the
more
individuals
go
into
these
areas
and
Center
in
on
those
specific
problems
that
they
have
eyes
and
ears
on
the
lower
the
crime
rate,
and
so
that
that's
another
huge
thing
there
and,
of
course,
I'm
the
last
one
to
talk
about
social
media
because
I,
don't
know
anything
about
all
these
computers
and
stuff,
but
I'm
learning
that
social
media
is
the
key
getting
out
social
besides,
if
you
can't
have
the
step
you
get
introduction
to
the
staff,
social
media
is
huge,
letting
people
know
and
then
having
individuals
which
I'm
learning
now
to
do
where
they
can.
T
Somebody
help
me
out
with
the
word
where
somebody's
doing
something
they
can
reply.
What
is
it
can
reply
to
your
comment?
Come
on
these
computer
people,
somebody
help
me
there
you
go
whatever
it
is
there
you
go.
Thank
you
Pat
appreciate
that,
because
I
see
it
on
my
show
where
people
ask
me
a
question
while
I'm
talking.
Thank
you
appreciate
it:
social
media.
T
That's
huge
too,
because
you
wanted
to
do
it,
makes
it
invest
the
community
in
what
your
job
is
doing
and,
let's
let
them
know
that
you
are
attainable
your
officers,
your
personnel,
we're
all
working
together
against
Crime
and
I.
Think
I
got
another
one
here
somewhere
that
pretty
much
wrapped
it
up
I'm
happy
with
this
here,
because
this
is
what
you
call
being
proactive
rather
than
reactive
and.
AD
T
T
T
T
B
Thank
you,
councilor
mayor
Pro,
Tem.
L
Personnel
suggestions
that
you've
provided
for
us
several
of
them,
obviously
are
going
to
require
some
Financial
assessments
and
see
where
we
are
with
that.
A
couple
of
them
that
I'm
familiar
with
will
will
require
Actuarial
review
and
the
cost
analysis
there,
particularly
the
revising
the
retirement
of
sworn
officers
going
from
60,
70
and
80
percent,
and
also
also
adding
the
the
911
officers
or
the
911
Personnel
to
the
to
the
public
safety
retirement
pay
plan.
L
That
would
require
some
and
I
know
you're,
probably
thinking
at
at
no
cost
to
them,
but
obviously
there's
going
to
be
a
cost
and
there
may
be
a
partnership
there.
There
may
be
some
things
we
have
to
discuss
to
play
that
out,
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
for,
for
you
and
the
public,
and
let
let
everyone
know
this-
this
isn't
just
moving
ages
around
this
is
this
is
a
big
change
to
a
pension
plan
that
is
Actuarial,
study,
actuarily
studied
and
set
in
set
in
that
way.
So
it
takes.
L
J
Chief
great
job
great
job
presentation
was
on
point
one
question
on
Sharon.
You
said
sharing
of
real-time
information.
What
type
of
Technology
will
you
need
for
that
to
happen
so
that
the
officers
will
be
on
the
same
page?
At
the
same
time,
right.
AD
So
so,
just
to
be
clear
with
that
that
information
is
through
our
CAD,
our
computer
Aid
dispatch
and
our
motor
data
terminal.
So
that's
something
that
is
currently
in
the
works
now
as
we
work
with
our
vendor,
who
provides
that
service.
But
that's
that's
going
to
include
some
upgrades
as
we
get
to
that
point,
so
that
officer
will
be
able
to
receive
that
information
in
the
field
as
they
check
a
name
on
the
individual.
J
Okay,
okay,
so
that
would
mirror
something
like
what
we
normally
see
on
the
television
show.
Without
going
back
and
forth
I'm
just
having
fun
the
radios,
what
type
of
radios
will
you
need.
AD
Well,
this
this
radio
interoperability
upgrade
would
just
without
current
radio
system.
Okay.
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
the
way
the
radios
are
programmed
or
the
way
they
are
keyed
and,
of
course
they
use
a
lot
of
the
communication,
the
language
for
the
radios,
but
so
in
essence,
we're
just
waiting
on
Alabama
to
Key
their
radios.
I
J
Will
that
tie
you
in
with
the
Georgia
State
Patrol
and
everybody
else
that
comes
in
the
area?
Yes,.
J
AD
Right
so
we're
we're
requesting
gang
analysts,
civilian
positions,
to
be
added.
We
have
this
in
the
budget
we
added.
We
we
requesting
that
to
be
added
to
our
civilian
staff,
so
that
we'll
be
able
to
work
towards
transferring
Our,
Gang
analysis
and
the
intelligence
unit
from
the
office
of
Professional
Standards
to
the
Bureau
of
Investigative
Services.
Okay,.
I
D
Thanks
chief
for
the
presentation,
I
did
have
a
question
in
reference
to
the
education
I
know,
I've
been
trying
to
get
information
from
Naco
to
help
all
of
our
ccg
employees
in
reference
to
reimbursement.
For
you
know
the
educational
expense.
AD
So,
in
order
to
receive
the
appointment
to
corporal
an
individual
could
arrived
there,
one
or
two
ways,
one
being
they
have
an
associate's
degree
with
two
years
of
service.
The
second
way
is
four
years
of
service
without
the
associate's
degree,
but
have
supervision
levels,
one
two
and
three
as
I
spoke
about
earlier
and
then
in
order
to
to
achieve
the
rank
of
Sergeant.
The
individual
needs
to
have
at
least
the
associate's
degree
and
for
lieutenant
captain
and
on
up.
AD
D
AB
AB
I
intentionally
did
not
look
at
your
presentation
as
it
was
posted
on
Friday
I
didn't
want
to
see
it
until
today,
and
so
today
is
my
first
opportunity
and
I
told
you
mayor
I
would
not
look
at
it.
I
don't
want
to
see
it,
and
so
here
in
here
him
here
today
and
seeing
or
receiving
a
copy,
is
the
first
time
I've
ever
put
my
eyes
on
it.
AB
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
and
I
must
say
in
listening
to
you
today
and
then
this
document
that
I
look
forward
to
review
and
it's
much
more
detailed
than
just
your
PowerPoint,
much
more
detail.
That
appears
but
wanted
to
thank
you
and
your
team
for
a
very,
very
thoughtful
strategic
plan
that
you
were
able
to
put
together
in
just
30
days.
AB
AB
AB
She
had
reviewed
that
very
extensive
list
that
you
heard
presented
by
the
police
chief
today
and
her
response,
along
with
Deputy
city
manager,
Hodges
response
to
me
in
that
meeting
and
I
had
HR
Director
there
and
Deputy
City
evangelisa
Goodwin
was
that
there's
no
way
we
can
sustain
this.
If
we
do
it
and
and
so
I
asked
yeah
what
what
do
you
recommend?
What
are
your
options?
We
don't
have
a
choice
of
considering
the
situation,
not
just
here
in
Columbus
Georgia,
but
in
Atlanta,
in
Augusta
and
Savannah
and
across
this
nation.
AB
And
and
so
I
told
them
because
they
didn't
have
any
options,
we
can't
sustain
it
and
I
said
you
need
to
go
back
and
you
need
to
bring
me
some
options,
and,
and
so
they
did
come
back,
the
finance
director
with
options
and
she
emailed
those
options
to
me
on
Saturday
night
and
it
was
around
10
o'clock
or
so
on.
Saturday
night
and-
and
she
said
to
me
that
and
you
have
the
email
I
was
trying
to
find
it.
AB
Yeah
I
think
you
said
you
had
the
email,
but
what
she
said
to
me
is
that
what
we
propose
is
to
reinstate
for
Columbus,
Police,
Department
and
9-1-1
operators.
The
fifteen
hundred
dollar
quarter
supplement
that
we
recently
discontinued
when
we
implemented
the
pay
plan,
but
reinstate
the
fifteen
hundred
dollar
supplement
and
we're
only
going
to
save
that
for
12
months,
in
other
words,
make
it
retroactive
to
the
beginning
of
the
year.
If
they're
on
payroll,
March
31st,
they
get.
AB
The
first
quarter
supplement,
if
they're
on
payroll
at
CPD
and
continue
that
through
January
and
she
said
to
me
in
the
email
that
I
sent
to
you
for
excuse
me
Saturday
night
mayor.
It
would
take
five
days
of
Reserve
if
we
did
that
for
CPD
for
12
months
and
suggested
that
we
go
to
the
three
thousand
dollar
I.
Believe
it's
three.
AD
AB
Because
I
don't
have
the
email,
I
didn't
pull
it
up,
but
she
outlined
what
we
could
do
now,
that
and
and
the
employee
referral
I
believe
of
600.
AB
They've
looked
at
the
fiscal
note
on
it
and
they
recommend
that
and
I
certainly
support
their
recommendation
to
reinstate
the
fifteen
hundred
dollars
a
quarter
and
recommend
that
to
you
but
long
term,
all
that
other
all
these
other
things
that
he
has
shared
in
this
report
today,
I
think
mayor,
Pro,
tem
Allen
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
It
would
take
an
Actuarial
review
study
to
determine
the
fiscal
note
and
the
affordability
and
certainly
I
agree
with
that,
but
long
term.
AB
All
of
those
things
that
he
knows,
I
can
tell
you
just
from
our
finance
staff,
would
be
a
heavy
lift,
but
there's
something
that
we
there
are
things
that
we
should
look
at
in
the
upcoming
budget
and
in
years
to
come.
But
we've
got
to
do
the
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
we
can
not
only
commit
monies
now
but
sustain
it,
but
the
short
term
would
be
while
we
are
able
to
do
that.
AB
It
would
allow
us
that
time
and
but
at
least
we're
doing
something
now
and
so
I
wanted
to
share
my
thoughts
with
you
and
and
I
know
it's
short
notice,
but
sending
to
the
mayor
on
Saturday
night
in
copy
the
police
chief
home
Saturday
night,
and
so
the
short
I
think
we
should
look
at
all
those
things,
long
term
that
he
has
talked
about
in
the
next
budget,
2024
budget
and
then
beyond.
But
the
short
term
we
need
to
do
something
now
and
that
would
be
reinstate,
would
be
my
recommendation.
AB
The
fifteen
hundred
dollars
quarterly
for
CPD
officers
and
9-1-1
operators.
But
thank
you,
sir,
for
this
very
thoughtful
plan
and
again
thank
you
to
the
men
and
women
of
the
Columbus
Police
Department
for
all.
You
do.

house,
thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
chief
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
ideas
about
things
that
we
can
do
to
make
things
better
for
your
officers.
Just
one
fast
question
to
make
sure
I
understand
something
that
you
said.
I
think
you
mentioned
10
strategic
directions,
yes
in
the
in
the
PowerPoint
slides,
is
that
the
organization
of
these
things
that
we're
talking
about?
Okay,
let's
make
sure
I,
was
straight.
Thank
you.
It's
all
ahead.
B
All
right
that
appears
to
be
all
the
questions
Chief,
thank
you
for
the
efforts
and
thank
you,
Command
Staff,
for
what
they
did
as
well.
AD
Right,
thank
you,
sir,
and
certainly
I'm
appreciative
to
My
Command
Staff,
our
retention
committee,
as
they
work
and
other
men
and
women
of
the
police
department.
They
work
to
to
provide
ideas,
thoughts
and
suggestions
to
our
retention
committee
and
our
Command
Staff,
as
I
assigned
different
areas
of
those
strategic
directions
for
them
to
dissect
and
find
our
way
forward.
So
I'm
appreciative
to
our
entire
staff.
In
the
mayor
of
your
support
and
council
members
and.
B
B
All
right,
we'll
move,
we'll
move
on
now
to
the
city
attorney's
agenda.
B
B
We
still
have
business
to
do
so.
If
you
would,
please
save
your
conversations
for
outside.
I
AG
AG
This
is
the
old
Best
Buy
property
and
they
are
requesting
to
go
to
a
General
commercial
district
for
fitness
center
applicant
is
Fitness
Ventures
and
Mr.
Mize
is
here
on
their
behalf.
Planning
is
here.
Are
there
any
questions
around
the
table
on
this?
It's
recommended
for
approval
doesn't
appear
to
be
any
all
right.
His
name,
Mr
Myers.
You
don't
have
to
come
up,
we'll
ask
anybody
in
the
audience
is,
or
anybody
here
for
or
against
on
this
proposal.
AG
Thank
you
for
being
here
next
item
up
is
a
resolution.
This
will
allow
us
a
special
exception
for
daycare
type
3
at
2313,
Ellen
Avenue
recommended
approval
is
Reverend
Powell
or
anybody
here
with
us.
Okay,
here
with
the
applicant,
are
there
any
questions
of
the
applicant
anybody
around
the
table
have
a
question
I.
B
It's
not
a
question:
I
did
I
did
receive
an
email
from
a
gentleman
that
lived
on
Ellen
and
he
requested
it
not
be
approved
based
on
his
perception
of
crime
in
in
the
area
and
on
the
street.
So
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
whole
thing,
but
I'll
just
I'll
just
tell
you
that
I
did
receive
that
and
he
asked
me
to
please
state
it
at
the
meeting.
Counselor.
AG
B
AG
B
AG
B
Okay,
all
right
we'll
move
into
the
yes
I'm,
sorry,
counselor
Barnes.
T
City
of
charity
I
had
two
requests
for
convenience
stores.
In
my
district,
one
had
six
already
one
within
about
three
blocks
of
each
other,
the
other
one
they
wanted
to
put
in
the
middle
of
Pembroke.
T
AG
F
F
AG
There
are
a
couple
of
options.
We
can
consider,
of
course,
a
moratorium
on
that
type
of
a
license,
but
you
can
also
consider
some
distance
restrictions,
but
we
need
to
have
a
head
of
planning
and
city
manager,
Deputy
city
manager,
Hodge
involved
in
looking
at
distance
restrictions
at
a
possible
moratorium.
T
B
Okay,
yeah
we
he
would
just
for
the
counselor
he
suggested
we
do
maybe
a
moratorium
while.
B
Yes,
councilor
Tucker.
D
And
I
Echo
what
councilor
Barnes
stated?
Actually
myself
and
director
will
Johnson
and
councilor
Barnes
had
been
looking
at
some
ordinances
that
have
been
proposed
in
making
just
did
an
update
in
reference
to
exactly
what
you
were
saying
with
a
parameter.
That
would
be
distance
that
you
can
do,
but
if
we
could
actually
get
with
director
Johnson
and
yourself
and
councilor
Barnes
that
way,
we
can
actually
come
up
with
something
and
share
with
the
council
that
way
we
can
get
an
approval
within
the
next
month
or
so
I.
D
Don't
think
the
moratorium
member
I
tried
to
do
that
before
with
the
moratorium,
and
we
had
to
pack
house
because
people
had
already
did
some
things
in
progress,
so
I
just
think
we
need
to
come
up
with
a
a
good
ordinance
that
will
basically
restrict
that
distance
that
you
can
put
different
fueling,
centers
yeah.
AG
D
And
we
could
also
include
some
of
the
stuff,
the
the
items
that
Sheffield
I
mean
Sheffield
had
actually
sent
within
that
ordinance
as
well
so
kind
of
combined
yeah.
AG
F
B
All
right
and
we
will
move
into
the
public
agenda
and
I'll
remind
you,
everybody
will
have
you
know
five
minutes
and
start
after
you
state
your
name
and
your
address
for
the
record,
and
we
will
remind
everybody.
Please
show
the
respect
that
to
the
folks
at
the
lectern
that
they
show
you
when
you're
speaking
and
if
there
are
any
outbursts.
B
We've
asked
the
bailiffs
to
just
escort
those
individuals
outside
until
the
public
agenda
is
over
and
then
let
them
come
back
in
so
we'd
ask
you
to
exhibit
decorum
and
be
be
civil
to
one
another,
and
first
on
the
public
agenda
is
Mr
Marvin
Broadwater
senior.
Regarding
the
comments
related
to
the
chief
of
police,
Mr
probater,.
AH
My
name
is
Marvin
Broadwater
senior
I
reside
at

Slippery,
Rock,

Columbus,
Georgia
31909
good
morning,
Mr,
Mayor
city,
council,
Mississippi
manager
of
Mississippi
attorney
and
all
in
attendance
I'm
here
to
speak
on
two
topics:
respect
and
response.
Approximately
30
days
ago
on
February
14th
I
sit
here
in
these
Chambers
embarrassed
by
what
I
observed
from
our
elected
leaders.
I
have
applauded
you
when
you
have
done
well
for
our
citizens
and
I
have
stood
here
at
this
Podium
given
constructive
remarks.
AH
When
I
thought
you
should
have
gone
in
a
different
direction
with
issues
on
this
day,
I
felt
a
deep
sense
of
disappointment
in
my
city
council,
so
I
waited
until
the
next
morning
to
respond
I
crafted
an
email
to
voice
my
concerns
and
issues.
This
email
was
sent
on
February
15
2023
at
601
am,
and
it
reads
as
follows.
AH
Good
morning,
Mr
Mayor
and
my
representatives
to
the
Columbus
Georgia
city
council,
I
decided
to
have
waited
at
least
20
hours
before
constructing
this
email.
As
I
observed
the
proceedings
of
the
February
14
23
2023
city
council,
meeting
I
departed
in
Paris
by
The
Vicious
venomous
victimizations
remarks
made
by
fewer
of
our
city
council
members.
These
remarks
were
verbalized
after
the
Columbus
Police
Department
assessment
was
presented.
I
was
immediately
reminded
of
the
hollow
Halls
of
this
nation's
capitol
building.
AH
During
the
most
recent
presidents,
State
of
the
Union
Address,
several
Congress
members
jeered
and
called
the
president
a
liar
whether
you
agree
or
disagree
with
the
leader.
There
is
such
a
thing
called
public
decorum
from
our
leaders.
We
all
realize
your
position
is
most
difficult,
as
you
must
not
only
satisfy
your
constituents
as
a
leader.
You
must
do
what
is
right
as
a
Christian.
A
real
leader
must
never
forget
that
the
word
leadership
was
mentioned
43
times
during
and
after
the
presentation,
with
negative
comments.
AH
The
remarks
made
seem
to
be
prescripted
and
continued
after
the
first
negative
comments.
Finally,
a
military
mind
prevailed,
as
councilman
house
made
a
motion
for
just
this
I
love,
Columbus
and
his
people,
but
when
our
local
leaders
attacked
a
lead,
City
employee
in
a
public
forum,
we
have
lost
our
democracy
and
our
Democratic
way
of
life.
AH
Her
surprisingly
immediate
response
was,
you
must
ask
the
city
council
for
the
report
I
explained
to
her
in
a
democracy
which
we
are
and
from
one
who
has
fought,
killed
and
been
permanently
injured.
In
the
name
of
our
democracy,
every
citizen
should
have
an
opportunity
to
to
view
a
report
prior
to
the
presentation.
As
this
was
not
doing,
the
public
agenda,
I
would
humbly
ask
for
the
following.
Send
me
a
copy
of
the
non-objective
report
remind
council
members.
There
are
ways
to
address
their
concerns
without
publicly
attacking
any
City
leader
or
employees.
AH
As
always,
thank
you
for
your
continued
service
to
the
Greater
Columbus
area.
Marvin
Broadwater
only
one
councilman
responded:
I
have
four
I,
have
two
city-wide
I
have
a
district
and
I
have
only
one
respondent,
responding
I.
Thank
you,
councilman
house,
that's
a
failing
grade.
That's
an
F
I
have
four
and
y'all
know
I
come
sit
here
and
I
applaud
you
of
the
job
that
you
do,
but
you've
got
to
be
more
responsive
to
your
citizen.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Mr
Broadwater.

AI
AI
Former
mayor
mayoral
candidate,
John
acre
initiated
and
financed
Jensen
Hughes,
which
is
headquarters
out
of
Baltimore
Maryland.
With
a
hundred
and
eighty
nine
thousand.
B
AI
Okay,
anyway,
it's
headquarters
out
of
Baltimore
Maryland,
with
189
thousand
dollars
from
local
businessmen
to
scrutinize,
Chief
Blackman's
performance
and
make
demands
from
him.
Those
businessmen
were
probably
the
same
people
who
contributed
to
his
failed
Campaign,
which
lost
by
a
landslide.
We
were
left
in
the
dark
on
purpose,
because
these
contributors
are
Anonymous
and
receive
100
tax
exemption.
John
Anker
created
this
sub-agency
under
the
offices
of
this
non-profit
Community
Foundation
of
Chattahoochee
Valley,
which
is
considered
a
51c3.
If
their
names
were
made
public,
then
everyone
would
know
this
assessment
is
politically
motivated.
AI
Therefore,
this
non-profit
would
be
in
violation
and
thereby
lose
their
non-profit
status.
John
Anker
I.
Ask
you
why
Baltimore
Baltimore
last
year
had
a
333
murders
and
688
wounded
for
a
total
of
1021
casualties.
Baltimore
is
just
two
and
a
half
times
larger
than
in
population
than
Columbus
Georgia.
At
one
time
they
had
a
population
of
nearly
a
million.
AI
In
the
last
decade,
they
lost
35
000
residents
during
John,
anker's
mayoral,
race
I
had
a
telephonic
conversation
with
him,
and
he
told
me
at
that
time
that
he
was
friends
with
Lieutenant
Dahl,
fop
president
and
also
Byron
hickey,
who
served
as
his
advisor
to
him.
The
fop
prior
to
endorsing
John
Anker
said
they
would
not
endorse
either
mayoral
candidate.
They
had
contradicted
their
word
and
overwhelmingly
voted
for
anchor
and
charged
mayor
Henderson
as
a
failed
Administration
with
a
no-confidence
vote.
AI
Also
Byron
hickey
recently
condemned
Chief
Blackman
with
losing
a
hundred
and
police
officers
in
an
interview
with
wtvm
through
an
open.
Through
my
open
records
request,
Chief
Blackman
has
lost
36
police
officers.
So
it's
not
a
hundred
Byron
hickey
hickey
also
said
many
of
them
went
to
the
Sheriff's
Department.
What
hickey
doesn't
say
is
how
many
of
them
receive
raises
and
promotions
in
their
transition
and
city
council
needs
to
make
an
investigation
into
this
matter.
AI
So
the
last
thing
we
need
to
do
is
have
one
law
enforcement
taken
away
from
the
other
and
giving
them
pay
raises.
You
can
find
it
both
Lieutenant
Donald,
Byron
hickey
and
a
photo
op
in
their
endorsement
of
John
anchor
on
May
18
2022
in
news,
real
Adobe,
rbl
and
hickey
stand
index
of
John
acre
on
wtvm
when
they're
endorsing
the
fop
okay.
This
assessment
failed
to
mention
the
obstructing
of
our
police
off
from
surrendering
their
prisoners
for
up
to
eight
hours
to
Deputy
sheriffs
at
the
jail.
AI
This
is
in
violation,
though
ocga
42-day
ford-12
penalty
for
not
receiving
persons
charged
with
or
guilty
of
an
offense.
Those
Deputy
sheriffs
can
also
be
charged
with
dereliction
of
Duty.
You
know
right
now.
You
know
we're
receiving
hundreds
of
prisoners
from
other
counties
and
he
had
no
problem
with
that
and
then
he
has
to
be
have
a
contention
with
our
own
police
officers,
and
it
just
did.
AI
The
defunding
of
the
police,
by
diverting
20
million
dollars
of
the
Old
Law
sales
tax
to
the
reserve
fund
when
the
police
need
pay,
raise
the
desperately
in
order
to
recruit
and
retain
right.
Now
we
have
120
days
of
Reserve
in
The
Reserve
balance
and
to
get
keep
our
credit
rating
at
the
top
level.
We
need
only
60
okay
and
that
20
million
equates
to
almost
50
days.
AI
So
we'd
still
have
70
days,
and
we
still
have
the
same
that
so,
let's
be
more
proactive
than
reactive
I
also
would
say
in
this
assessment
they
didn't
address
the
Crime
Stoppers,
because
I
talked
to
some
around
and
he
said
the
Crime
Stoppers
are
not
involved
anymore.
I
say
we
need
to
put
out
bounties
on
these
criminals
who
are
drug
dealers,
running
chop,
shops,
stealing
cars,
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
we
need
to
put
that
back
into
motion.
AI
They
did
not
recommend
police
precincts
in
our
Parks.
They
did,
however,
recommend
transparency
of
Chief
Blackman's
promotion
plan
when
you
mayor
and
city
council
had
already
approved
a
chief
Blacklist
promotion
plan
and
process
in
the
past.
We
likewise
would
like
to
know
who
you
are,
who
your
contributors
are
John
anchor.
AI
But
what
do
you
expect
when
Jensen
Hughes
is
headquartered
out
of
a
prime
ridden
Baltimore
their
their
fiduciary
responsibility
that
Denson
and
uses
to
only
to
John
anchor,
which
speaks
volumes
there
are
189
000
would
have
been
better
spent
towards
a
police
precinct
at
Lake
Bottom.
That's
my
presentation.
H
H
H
The
chief's
presentation
was
not
something
that
just
came
together
in
30
days
as
a
person
who
does
strategic
thinking
and
strategic
planning
that
has
been
developed
over
a
much
longer
period
of
time.
That
deep
thinking
and
I
think
that
everybody
should
be
grateful
to
the
Chief
and
his
staff
on
Thursday
March,
9th
In,
This
Very
Room.
H
Many
of
the
command
staff
were
here
and
I
got
to
meet
them
personally.
I
had
quite
a
conversation
with
deputy
chief
Hastings
he's
been
with
the
force
since
1986..
That
level
of
experience
is
amazing.
H
This
is
a
city
that
has
so
much
experience
in
its
employees
and
over
the
12
years,
I've
been
here
to
see
Public
Safety
and
the
changes
that
have
taken
place
under
the
previous
Chief
when
the
high
murder
counts
began
and
now
to
the
point
where
we
are
now
are,
where
the
whole
community
and
I'm
so
happy
that
so
many
people
came
out
today,
but
the
whole
Community
has
to
stand
with
this
law
enforcement
Community,
including
the
sheriff
Chief
ARP
at
the
Muskogee
County
School
District,
Police
Department
and
the
Columbus
Police
Department
to
do
the
kind
of
community
policing.
H
That's
required
at
this
point.
When
you
look
at
these
evictions,
Mr
Garrett,
you
can
see
that
one
of
your
ZIP
codes,
which
is
Wilson
homes
by
the
way
and
I
just
want
to
say
this-
about
Wilson
Holmes,
Mr,
Garrett
I've,
been
trying
to
work
with
parents
over
there.
When
I
asked
the
chief
for
an
open
records
request
on
the
number
of
murders
in
public
housing
communities
over
the
past
three
years,
the
highest
number
in
public
housing,
Wilson
homes,
Wilson
homes,
I,
have
been
over
there
on
the
Sunday
morning.
H
H
Sheriff
countrymen
has
the
same
book.
It's
an
important
book
for
you
and
your
jobs
to
try
to
figure
out
the
root
cause,
how
to
reduce
the
root
cause
of
crap,
which
is
poverty.
That's
what's
required
of
you
and
you
haven't
done
it.
Some
of
you
been
up
there
for
decades
and
you
just
haven't
done
it.
You
just
haven't
done
it.
We've
got
to
reduce
poverty
in
this
community,
30
percent
of
children
living
in
poverty.
Enough
is
enough:
enough
is
enough.
B
Okay,
counselor
Tucker.
D
K
D
Ask
that
we
really
expedite
that
initiative
and
at
the
next
council
meeting
I
would
like
to
see
on
the
agenda
us
approving
that
poverty
reduction
initiative
in
moving
forward,
because
we
have
put
it
on
hold
you've,
been
talking
about
it
for
over
a
year.
We
have
the
funds
through
the
American
Rescue
plan.
It
is
a
actual
allocation,
a
line
item
we
need
to
move
forward.
We
don't
need
the
weights
and
possibly,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
all
last
council
meeting
in
reference
to
the
American
Rescue
plan
plan
dollars
being
in
Jeopardy
of
a
clawback.
B
We'll
put
it
on
there,
we
we,
there
is
not
been
any
delay.
They've
been
working
on
with
they've
been
working
on.
The
United
Way
has
been
working
on
identifying
the
person
to
hire,
and
we
have.
We
have
been
aggressively
working
towards
that.
We've
also
set
up
other
groups
that
are
looking
at
impact
on
housing,
on
the
inadequate
housing
on
poverty.
So
yeah
we'll
be.
D
Glad
I
know
some
I
know
some
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
like
counselor
Huff
mentioned
the
homeowner
occupied
rehab
and
I.
Understand
that
that's
going
to
take
a
a
little
more
time
to
you
know,
actually
work
on
that,
but
just
allocating
just
like
we
did
with
the
pure
violence
I,
don't
see
why
it's
taking
so
long
for
us.
AB
B
I
F
Oh
also
I'm,
proud
of
my
neighborhood
I
live
right
off
of
our
benef.
F
Yeah
on
history,
I
complained
about
that
before
I.
Try
to
get
some
of
my
neighbor
to
come
down
here,
say:
y'all
ain't
gonna
do
nothing.
I
said
I'm
coming
I'm
gonna
come
back
next
week
or
we
got
Nick
too
with
the
same
thing
here
three
you
need
to
be
a
sewer.
There.
I
walked
away.
We
could
have
ditch
it.
So
big,
like
I,
said
before
you,
ain't
got
to
do
to
make
dick
I,
don't
think
I.
Do
your
lady
fighting
covered
up
just
about
you
call
them
kids.
F
F
F
Far
take
back
two
days,
you
got
the
right
equipment
and
I
also
on
Kevin
Avenue
in
clay.
You
know,
that's
a
dead
end
right
there.
You
know
it
looked
like
a
lamb
for
your
back
there.
You
know
like
landlord.
Indeed,
business
I
need
to
tighten
up
bet.
You
went
on
folk
being
a
road
there.
You
know
where
they
call
for
this
new
school.
Look
like
a
whole
thing
919
by
Walmart.
He
getting
back
the
same
way.
They
need
to
make
people
clean
up
their
profit.
You
know
other
than
that.
F
That's
basically
what
I'm
concerned
about
you
need
to
be
a
I,
think
I
hate
for
something
to
happen.
You
know,
but
he
needs
to
look
at
that.
You
know
I
know
I,
know
y'all
familiar
with
it,
even
though
everybody
down
there
and
check
it
out
how
big
that
did
to
you
also
that'd,
be
let's
wait
for
the
when
the
people
get
down
and
cut
the
grass
out.
W
For
our
new
city
jail
and
right
now
we
need
one
like
ASAP,
because
they're
being
turned
out
on
a
thing
to
come
back
to
court,
which
some
people
don't
are
not
honest
enough
to
come
back
to
court.
You
know.
So
my
idea
was
the
old
CCI
building
that
was
on
Chautauqua
Road,
that's
city,
property,
correct
I,
believe
the
address
I'm,
not
sure
it's
just
something.
I
pulled
up
real,
quick
because
I
forgot
my
phone
at
home
because
it's
in
a
rush
to
get
out
the
door,
it's
44
41!
W
My
daddy
used
to
work
there.
He
worked
there
20
years
before
that
he
served
20
years
in
the
service
in
the
army.
W
That's
where
I
used
to
go
visit,
my
dad
and
that's
how
I
know
this
has
got
a
kitchen.
It
just
needs
to
be
refurbished.
It's
just
real
old,
just
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
can
be
done
with
this
property
right
here
for
overfill
or
make
it
into
a
city
jail
from
the
county
jail
or
you
can
light
the
garage
when
they
pull
in
the
police
department
they
pull
in.
W
They
have
to
check
them
in
well,
if
there's
an
overfill,
they
can't
put
them
in
because
there's
no
more
room
and
it's
a
safety
feature
and
I
understand
that
on
both
sides,
but
you're
returning
people
back
to
the
street
that
can
cause
harm
to
any
one
of
us,
I
mean
just
people
are
doing
real
crazy
stuff.
Nowadays
that
didn't
happen
when
we
was
children
and
we
was
growing
up
it's
our
era
is
like
the
last
of
us.
W
You
know
so
with
that
is
to
refurbish
that
and
maybe
pour
or
have
a
new
city
or
county
jail
put
out
there
make
it
really
be
just
just
for
the
county,
because
it's
kind
of
like
headed
out
towards
the
county
right,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
I'm
getting
winded
I'm
trying
to
make
my
time
if
you
just
work
with
me
on
my
time,
because
I
need
to
get
back
to
the
house.
W
So
with
that
being
pretty
much
said
of
maybe
even
putting
tents
out
there
and
for
the
time
being,
then,
until
the
property
can
be
built
out
there,
people
that
are
waiting
to
go
to
Jackson
Diagnostic
Center
are
people
that
are
doing
short
terms.
Sentencing
to
go
to
this
property.
Here
are
the
weekends.
If
you
can
put
a
bus
stop
out
there
for
the
weekenders
that
may
not
have
a
car,
you
know
to
catch
the
bus
to
be
picked
up
and
so
forth.
W
You
know,
excuse
me
for
saying
you
know
it's
not
proper,
oh
and
with
that
being
said,
you'll
have
down
by
the
county
for
recorders,
court,
Superior,
Court
and
all
that
to
them
to
stay
there
in
people
that
are
being
charged
or
just
being
coming
in,
like
whenever
the
police
department
brings
them
in.
W
They
can
stay
there
for
to
do
their
court
hearing,
but
everybody
else
can
go
to
the
one
on
Chicago
Road
and
just
wait
it
out,
because
I'm
sure
there's
people
that
know
how
to
cook,
if
you
just
refurbish
this
inside
part
and
I,
can't
remember
how
many
inmates
it
could
hold
I
think
it
was
like
if
it's
fixed
up
I
think
it
was
like
two
or
three
hundred
so
I
mean
it's
an
idea,
because
we
need
something
ASAP
and
to
build
a
big
building
it's
going
to
take
years,
but
they
need
something
now
the
city
needs
something
now
because
we
have
grown
so
much.
W
People
are
moving
from
all
over
down
here,
trying
to
find
a
safer
Haven
and
it's
they're
the
issue
that
was
up
there.
Probably
you
know
I'm
not
saying
they
are,
but
it's
just
too
much
too
much
and
I
learned
from
when
I
was
living
in
Macon
Georgia
that
everything
went
wrong
there.
A
lot
of
things
went
wrong
there.
They
wind
up
losing
their
Police
Department
behind
stuff
and
they
the
sheriff
just
took
over
and
it
wasn't
nice.
W
B
B
All
right
next
is
Dr
Chris
Harmon
regarding
Public
Safety
and
lack
of
leadership.
Y
Good
morning
my
name
is
Chris:
Harmon
I
reside
at
1920,
Leonard
Street,
just
five
houses
off
of
Lake
Bottom
Park.
Thank
you,
mayor
Henderson
and
city
council
members
for
allowing
me
to
speak
this
morning,
and
my
mother
would
probably
appreciate
the
upgrade
to
doctor
I.
Y
Y
I'm
here
this
morning,
out
of
fear
and
total
frustration
with
the
safety
of
the
citizens
of
Columbus
as
a
lifelong
resident
of
Columbus
I've
watched
Columbus
go
from
an
average
city
to
an
awesome.
City
I,
unfortunately,
was
widowed
a
little
over
seven
years
ago,
and
shortly
after
that,
a
lot
of
my
friends
suggested
that
I
moved
to
a
new
city,
and
my
answer
was
adamantly
absolutely
not
Columbus
offers
so
much.
We
have
so
many
great
restaurants.
Y
We
have
the
Riverwalk
Coca-Cola
Space
Science
Center,
our
city
parks,
Columbus
Museum,
the
Columbus
State
University
is
such
an
asset
to
our
city.
It
brings
so
much
money
and
people
and
good
talent
that
we
hope
will
stay
here
after
they
graduate
and
the
list
goes
on
you
as
our
city
leaders,
need
to
protect
the
Investments.
So
many
people
have
made
in
our
great
City
it's
time
to
change
the
leadership
in
our
police
department
and
get
the
right
person
in
there
to
lead
this
vital
Department
in
the
right
direction.
Y
Y
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
many
officers
lately
with
all
the
shootings
that
we've
had
and
all
the
crime
that
we've
reported
and
I've
had
time
to
ask
them
questions
about
their
jobs
and
thank
them
for
their
jobs.
Y
I
know,
I,
wouldn't
want
it
I'm
not
going
to
put
on
a
Kevlar
vest
to
go
out
and
make
what
they
make
it's
not
enough,
but
the
ones
that
I've
spoken
to
have
all
seemed
to
feel
like
that.
The
leadership
is
not
doing
the
job
that
it
needs
to
do
to
get
the
compensation
packages
correct,
get
the
benefit
package
correct
and
to
retain
officers
that
we
so
vitally
need.
Y
You
know
when
you've
got
private
citizens
or
hiring
companies
to
study
our
Public
Safety
and
private
citizens,
offering
rewards
to
assist
the
police
department
in
Catching
these
criminals
that
are
simply
driving
by
our
city
parks
and
firing
guns.
These
bullets
don't
discriminate.
They
don't
know
who
these
bullets?
Don't
know
who
they're
going
to
hit,
but
eventually
they're,
going
to
hit
someone
what
happened
at
Lake,
Bottom
Park
a
few
weeks
would
go,
was
nothing
but
an
act
of
God
that
no
child
was
killed.
Y
No
citizen
was
killed
and
it
infuriates
me
I'm,
tired
of
it
I'm
tired
of
the
neighborhood
text,
messages
going
off
all
night
long.
Did
you
hear
those
gunshots?
Did
you
hear
this?
Did
you
hear
that
my
truck's
been
broken
into
you
know?
Vehicles
are
going
to
get
broken
into.
That's
just
going
to
happen.
It
usually
happens
in
the
summer
when
the
kids
are
out
of
school,
I'm.
Y
Okay
with
that,
but
when
you
have
people
riding
around
and
they
feel
like
it's,
okay
to
fire
a
gun
into
a
city
park,
something's
got
to
happen,
I'm
tired
of
it
and
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
do
something
about
it.
I
urge
you
all
to
to
make
the
a
hard
decision
it's
time
to
rip
the
Band-Aid
off
of
this
problem
and
get
the
leader
in
here,
I'm,
not
sure
who
paid
for
the
report
that
the
chief
of
police
just
turned
in
and
spoke
on,
but
I
I.
Think
three
years
is
long
enough.
Y
He
should
have
come
in
with
a
plan
of
action.
We
had
a
crime
problem
when
he
came
in
and
we've
never
heard
anything
until
it's
demanded
of
him
to
present
some
some
answers
to
these
problems.
It
shouldn't
take
three
years
the
times
now
and
I,
ask
of
you
all
to
make
it
a
hard
decision
and
do
what's
right
for
our
city.
AB
AJ
AJ
Three
bedrooms:
two
bathrooms
we're
having
we're
looking
at
prices
of
twelve
hundred
fifteen
hundred
and
things
here
in
the
State
I
vote
during
this
time,
but
a
lot
of
friends,
we
are
looking
for
decent
homes
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
build
houses
for
people
from
800
900
range
to
a
thousand.
Most
people
can't
afford,
maybe
with
that
with
one
paycheck
and
a
lot
of
us
are
single
parents
trying
to
find
a
decent
place
to
live.
We
just
just
do
not
have
to
have.
AJ
This
is
my
first
time,
but
the
thing
is
that
we
do
need
decent
homes.
I
don't
want
to
have
to
live
in
a
place
that
I'm
scared
of
our
house
right
now
to
try
and
find
us
another
place
during
that
time
has
really
cost
a
lot
of
money.
You
know
most
people
do
not
have.
Fifteen
hundred
dollars
do
not
have
fourteen
hundred
dollars
just
for
rent.
You
know
we
need
something
when
they
talk
about
poverty,
yeah,
that's
where
we
are.
We
at
a
poverty
level,
but
we
can't
have
this
city
is
I.
AJ
I
love,
Columbus
I've
been
here
20
years,
but
I
would
like
to
have
a
decent
place
to
live,
and
I
want
to
be
able
not
just
rent
but
own
a
home.
We
want
our
own
houses,
you
know,
have
wealth
and
for
our
family
and
things,
but
I
want
homes
that
we
can
afford,
and
I
I'm
sure
that
the
city
can
come
up
with
something
to
help
us
get
those
homes
that
we
need
talk
to.
Companies
are,
if
not
here,
ask
them
what
they
come
and
build
homes
for
us.
AJ
We
just
don't
have
to
live
in
places
where
we're
scared
to
come
home,
I
work,
night
shift
and
I
want
to
know
that
I
can
come
home
to
the
house
and
not
be
afraid
to
go
in
the
door
and
not
be
afraid
where
I
have
to
stand.
You
know
at
the
time
I
don't
want
to
live
with
burglar
bars
on
the
door.
You
know,
I
want
decent,
affordable
housing
that
I
can
buy.
AJ
You
know,
and
because
of
companies
that
come
in
and
buy
up
a
lot
of
the
lands,
make
the
prices
so
high
that
people
cannot
afford
that.
You
know,
and
the
thing
is
the
only
thing
we
ask
I
will
be
coming
back
until
you
know,
I
ask
that
y'all
kind
of
see
if
y'all
can
get
something
together
here
in
Columbus,
because
I'll
keep
coming
not
just
me,
I'm,
bringing
folks
with
me
until
we
can
find
homes
for
everybody
to
be
able
to
have
something
decent.
You
know
to
purchase
and
to
buy.
You
know
from
there.
AJ
B
And
there
are
a
number
of
initiatives
that
are
underway,
because
this
is
a
very
recognized
issue,
not
just
in
Columbus
but
really
across
the
country
and
there's
a
lot
of
folks.
I
mean
it's
almost
like
the
Working
Poor.
They,
the
rents,
are
so
high
that
you
I
mean
it's
actually
almost
more
a
little
less
expensive
to
buy
in
some
situations.
But
then
you
have
to
come
up
with
a
down
payment,
so
there
are
some.
There
are
some
programs.
I
know.
B
AJ
AJ
B
Task
force
is
being
headed
out
by
Pat
Fray,
who
actually
works
for
works
for
the
United
Way
and
they're,
pulling
together
a
number
of
different
folks,
I
think
and
already
had
one
meeting
and
they're
gonna.
The
goal
is
to
come
up
with
a
strategic
plan
to
address
affordable
housing
and
then
to

Revisited.
Every
couple
of
years.
B
AJ
D
Yes,
ma'am
I
I,
wanted
to
add,
also
Miss
Murray
Miss
Donna
myrn,
the
Urban
League.
They
they
have
a
monthly
meeting
a
workshop
for
home
ownership
and
when
you
go
through
that
Workshop
you
get
money
to
put
on
towards
your
down
payment.
March
25th
is
the
next
meeting
yeah
for
the
workshop
and
I
will
ask
if
you
know
we
can
share
it
once
I
get
it
from
Mr
Mosley
from
the
Urban
League.
D
AJ
B
AB
Hughley
I
just
wanted
to
let
Miss
Murray
know
that
our
director
of
community
reinvestment,
Rob
Scott,
he's
waiting
out
in
the
lobby
to
talk
to
you.
Okay,
okay,.
B
B
If
you
would
state
your
name
and
your
address
and
we'll
start
the
clock,
when
you
do
that.
AE
I
am
Annette,
Walker
and
I'm
so
proud
to
say
that
I
am
a
direct
descendant
of
the
Davis
Brothers
Lumber
Company.
These
are
the
original
founders
of
Grambling,
State,
University,
and
also
our
church,
which
is
new
Prosperity
Baptist,
Church,
okay,
new
Prosperity,
Baptist,
Church
and
I
would
like
to
have
two
parts
to
my
presentation.
AE
The
first
part
I
would
like
to
recognize
is
the
fact
that
we
in
our
community
we're
going
to
be
having
such
a
big
big
name:
change
from
Fort
Benning
to
Fort
Moore
and
the
legacy
of
Fort
Moore
is
family,
and
that
is
what
I
personally
would
like
to
say.
As
a
transplant
here
to
Columbus.
Georgia
I
would
like
to
say
that
as
a
community,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
troops
they're
going
to
feel
safe
and
leaving
their
families
here
in
Columbus
Georgia
why
they
are
going
to
put
their
lives
on
the
line.
AE
So
when
we
tell
you
we
are
military
family
we
got
that
covered,
so
military
is
very
important
to
us
and
that's
why
we
have
as
a
community.
This
is
not
just
about
a
plan
that
is
on
paper.
This
is
about
a
plan
that
each
and
every
single
person
it
could
Columbus
Georgia
and
the
surrounding
area.
We
must
take
very
seriously
to
transform
and
renew
our
mind
and
make
sure
that
we
are
a
family
Community.
Now.
This
is
part
two
of
my
presentation.
AE
In
order
to
do
the
part,
two
I
need
each
row
to
have
the
person
who
is
should
have
been
in
that
seat.
But
please
stand
up
please
on
each
row.
The
first
person
on
that
side
and
I
need
the
first
person
on
this
side.
Would
you
please
stand
up
please
each
person
on
each
row
first
person
on
each
row
on
this
side
and
at
least
excuse
me,
sir?
AE
AJ
AJ
AE
AE
Everybody
see
that
we
treat
our
neighbors
the
way
we
want
to
be
treated
ourselves
when
we
treat
our
family
and
we
treat
our
troops
family,
that
this
is
the
village.
This
is
the
village.
We
want
everybody
to
do
this
again
with
the
impacts
we
want.
Every
week,
people
bring
your
cell
phones,
and
this
is
where
Columbus
Georgia
go
viral,
because
we
would
like
to
see
our
Community
Showcase
their
talents
showcase
their
ideas.
AE
AE
B
B
Now
I
like
it
thank
you
I
and
I
and
I
did
miss
somebody.
Apparently
it
wasn't
on
my
copy
of
the
agenda
but
Doris
Meacham
Rowe.
Oh
she
canceled.
That's
why
it's
not
on
my
agenda.
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
that
that
wraps
up
the
public
agenda
and
we'll
move
on
now
to
the
city
manager's
agenda.
B
AB
AF
B
All
right
somebody's,
not
working
okay,
it
Council
crab
voted.
Yes,
we
really
need
to
get
that
button
fixed
because
it's
I
know
yeah.
We
do
nuts
all
right
and.
AB
Well,
hopefully,
help
us
on
the
way
with
some
ARP
money.
We're
gonna
do
some
things,
but
next
I've
got
mattress.
2023
public
transportation
agency
safety
plan,
that's
required
by
federal
government.
B
B
AB
Imagine
well
it's
a
church
that
we
own
and
they
will
pay
or
be
responsible
for
maintenance
of
space
and
utilities.
It's
a
hundred
dollars
per
year,
500
for
the
initial
lease
and
five
hundred
dollars
for
each
subsequent
renewal,
and
so
they've
asked
to
renew
that
in
you
approved
it.
Okay
got
the
porch
project,
it's
an
application.
If
accepted
two
million
dollars.
AB
AB
B
Sorry,
Narcan
I.
AB
I
was
going
back
to
the
lease
agreement,
so
the
porch
project
and
we've
got
someone
here.
It's
a
two
million
dollar
Substance
Abuse
and
Mental
Health
Administration
Grant,
and
they
provide
funds
for
First,
Responders
and
those
vulnerable
in
Community
to
Opi
over
overdose.
If
you
want
to
explain
it,
you
can
yeah.
AK
Good
afternoon
Council
I'm
Dana
Solomon
I'm,
the
coordinator
for
the
adult
drug
court.
The
porch
project
was
previously
awarded
to
the
city
of
Columbus
in
2018
I.
Believe
porch
stands
for
providing
overdose
reversal
to
give
Columbus
hope.
AK
AK
This
grant
would
be
for
500
000
a
year
for
four
years,
totaling
two
million
dollars
there's
no
match
requirement
by
the
city.
The
plans
for
the
funds
are
to
continue
to
equip
all
of
our
First
Responders,
both
law
enforcement,
fire
and
EMS
in
Columbus
and
its
surrounding
counties
with
access
to
Narcan.
AK
The
reason
we
call
it
the
ports
project
I,
remember
growing
up
my
favorite
place
to
sit
was
always
my
grandparents
front
porch
and
that's
where
the
community
gathered
and
that's
where
friends
and
family
gather,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we
do
with
this
project.
Is
we
go
to
some
of
the
harder
hit
areas
of
our
community
and
partner
with
agencies?
There
and
we
tell
everyone
to
meet
us
on
the
porch,
so
that
friends
and
family
of
opioid
addicts
in
our
community,
who
fear
that
someone
they
love,
are
at
risk
for
an
overdose.
AK
We
Act
actually
give
them
Narcan
there
and
training
on
how
to
use
it
so
that,
in
the
event
a
mother
comes
home
and
finds
a
child
or
a
loved
one
overdosing
in
the
house,
they
don't
even
have
to
wait
for
a
fire
rate
or
EMS
to
get
there
to
administer
life-saving
Narcan
to
that
individual.
So
we
provide
it
to
the
community.
It's
provided
to
all
First
Responders.
AK
This
money
actually
is
with
a
much
larger
funding
source.
We're
going
to
be
able
to
do
some
really
cool
things
like
hiring
some
peer
support,
Specialists
to
hopefully
be
able
to
do
warm
handoffs
at
emergency
departments
with
our
partners,
New
Horizons,
which
will
also
give
these
addicts
access
to
medication,
assisted
treatment.
B
I'm
glad
you
had
an
opportunity
to
go
through
that,
because
it
was
groundbreaking
when
you
got
the
first
amount
of
money
and
then
to
see
it
go
up
to
this
amount
and
I
know
you're
talking
about
the
opioid
overdose
issues
with
the
people
at
home,
but
and
it
has
saved
a
number
of
our
First
Responders,
who
have
been
coming
to
contact
with
with
with
some
of
the
drugs
that
actually
can
can
kill
them
and
they've
used
the
Narcan.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
watching.
AB
So
we
are
applying
for
and
hope
to
receive
it's
500
000
a
year
for
four
years.
Thanks
thanks.
Next
I've
got
Energy
Efficiency
and
conservation
blocks.
AB
B
Comments
so
there's
a
motion.
Second,
and
if
you'll
cue
it
Council,
please
register
you
vote.
AB
Passes
so
I've
got
it's
236
thousand
dollars
or
as
awarded
but
Energy
Efficiency
and
conservation
block
grant
asking
your
approval.
B
AB
It's
approved
and
I've
got
another
Grant
opportunity.
Congressionally
directed
spending
requests
for
funding.
AB
From
through
Senator
Warren
Knox
office,
you
know
we
recently
got
a
four
million
dollar
Grant
through
that
office
approved
for
Metra,
and
this
is
again
for
Metra.
F
AB
Right,
oh,
we
yeah.
We
we
pulled
that
one!
Actually,
yes,
all
right,
which
one
is
that
the
one
through
ossoff's
office.
AB
Okay
and
we
did
amended
on
the
agenda
all
right,
so
it's
not
listed
on
your
computers,
but
we
we
pulled
that
one.
So
I've
got
purchases.
AB
We
posted
the
correct
item.
There
was
one
Grant.
We
were
seeking
for
12
million
from
awesome
that
got
pulled,
and
this
was
for
the
4.8
million
from
warnock's
office.
So
we
approved
the
4.8.
Yes,
yes,
that's
correct.
All
right,
yeah!
Well,
I!
Think
you,
if
you
print
it
yours
you're,
then
you
don't
have
the
update.
That's
on
the
computer,
okay,
yeah.
AB
Know
right
yeah,
sometimes
we
print
them
and
then
we
yeah,
but
anyway
I've
got
some
purchases
protective.
B
All
right
there
is
a
motion
to
prove
all
the
purchases
and,
of
course,
we'll
go
through
each
one,
but
are
there
any
that
somebody
would
like
pulled
for
further
discussion?
All
right,
then
all
in
favor.
Can
we
you
cue
it
for
all
of
them.
I,
don't
think
you
can
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
any
post.
So.
AB
We've
got
protective
driver
door
shields
for
the
various
Metro
buses
and
you
know
they
are
Grant
supported.
It's
215
603
we've
got
a
contract,
extension
for
security
surveillance
equipment,
work
and
miscellaneous
with
adoptosol
it's
for
three
month
extension.
It's
what
we're
doing
to
get
us
through
the
RFP
process.
We've
got
shade
coverings
for
South
Common,
softball,
complex
and
we've
got
playground,
equipment
for
parks
and
rec
at
various
locations.
AB
We've
got
shade
structures
for
Brit,
David,
Park
and
Rigdon
Park.
We've
got
exercise
equipment
for
various
park
locations.
AB
We've
got
in-car
mobile
video
recording
system
for
the
Columbus
Police
Department
Gator
and
Gator
for
Cooper
Creek,
Tennis
Center.
It's
a
piece
of
equipment,
that's
needed
to
maintain
the
park
and
I've
got
just
for
your
information,
some
vehicles
that
were
purchased
for
the
Sheriff's
Office,
it's
a
total
of
17
vehicles
that
have
been
purchased
for
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
that
concludes
the
purchases.
I've
got
a
few
updates.
The
first
one
Deputy
city
manager,
Hodge
on
city
hall,.
AL
So
that
being
said,
I
want
to
flip
it
to
the
other
side.
The
other
side
is
somewhat
of
an
embarrassment
me
personally
and
I've
been
just
calling
around
to
some
of
these
athletic
programs
for
our
youth
that
are
out
there
that
participate
on
our
facilities.
These
are
volunteer
based
organizations.
It's
you
know.
Some
of
these
Youth
Sports
is
very
expensive
for
them
to
pay
and
to
to
keep
these
things
going.
AL
There's
a
there's
a
lot
of
effort,
there's
a
lot
of
time,
there's
a
lot
of
deep
down
in
the
wallet
from
people
to
try
to
make
it
happen.
They're
doing
it
in
conjunction
with
our
facilities,
our
Parks
I
I
would
like
you
to
consider.
I
know
I
mentioned
about
getting
ahead
of
back
in
the
fall
getting
ahead
of
the
spring
Seasons
coming
in,
and
there
were
several
things
that
needed
to
be
done.
AL
That
I
saw
got
a
background
in
this
that
that
would
could
potentially
these
young
athletes,
these
young
children,
could
potentially
put
them
In
Harm's
Way,
just
by
the
nature
of
the
surfaces
that
they
play
on
okay,
but
they're
out
there
they're
out
there
day
in
Day,
Out
parents
recognize
as
volunteers
recognize.
This
I
think
that
these
people
have
gone
deep
in
their
pockets
to
fix
our
facilities
to
fix
our
surfaces.
Our
grass
things
like
that.
AL
They've
done
it
themselves
out
of
their
own
pockets,
and
you
know
it
just
you
know
I'm,
just
like
I
said:
I've
got
a
couple
motions
here
on
both
sides,
so
I
would
like
you
to
consider
that
we
didn't
get
to
do
it
for
whatever
reason,
but
when
I
started
seeing
that
it
was
I'm
a
city
representative,
it
was
not
easy
for
me
to
see,
and
then
you
know,
I
had
to
go
around.
Thank
all
these
people
and
and
show
our
appreciation,
and
but
it
was
difficult.
I
just
want
to
tell
you.
It
was
difficult.
AL
So
I
would
like
the
executive
Administration
to
consider
that
maybe
reimbursing
some
of
these
organizations
that
have
gone
into
their
reserves
to
to
fix
our
facilities
and
I'm
not
talking
about
I'm,
not
talking
about
you,
know
the
whole
park
I'm
just
talking
about
the
things
that
normally
we
would
do
and
and
granted
I
will
tell
you
that
there
are
times
that
these
volunteers
will
get
out
there.
AL
Parents
and
talk
to
our
Parks
and
Rec
staff,
who
maintain
and
keep
these
facilities
up
and
they'll
tell
them
that
you
know
they'll
take
care
of
it
or
they'll
handle
it
and
it
it
does
give
them
an
opportunity
to
free
them
up
and
go
somewhere
else,
but
they
there
is
some
kind
of
communication
like
that.
But
then
there's
other
things
that
I
think
that
we
as
a
city
do
have
somewhat
responsibility.
AL
AB
Want
to
and
and
I
I
will
give
that
thought
and
and
then
I
will
challenge
my
team
to
come
up
with
a
a
process
or
a
program
that
we
would
receive
certain
work
order,
requests
from
the
various
leads
and
and
then
maybe
in
the
budget.
We
can
set
us
out
a
pool
of
money
for
those
requests
that
may
come
from
those
various
leagues
and
I
and
I
say
a
process
and
a
program,
a
pool
of
money
because
I
mean
quite
frankly,
I
mean
some
leagues
have.
AB
Families,
representation
that
can
do
more
than
others,
and
so
they
can't
do
it
up
front
and
then
ask
for
reimbursement
and
I'd
rather
have
a
program
with
money
set
aside,
that
they
make
the
request
and
then
we
can
fund
or
those
requests
that
they
don't.
You
know
I
mean
I,
think
about
Columbus
Georgia.
D
Yes,
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
Counselor,
Davis
and
thank
you.
City
manager,
I,
actually
and
I-
want
to
thank
Holly
and
Mr
Selden
at
Shirley
B,
but
we
have
had
especially
with
baseball
with
with
all
the
sports,
but
just
recently
with
baseball,
finding
some
of
the
issues
at
Shirley
B
and,
as
you
mentioned
people
using
their
own
funds,
it
might
not
have
the
funds
to
do
it,
but
we
have
people
doing
Patchwork
in
our
bathrooms.
AB
D
AB
AB
AB
D
Knows
because
she
walks
every
day
at
Shirley,
B
and
I
get.
That
is
like
one
of
the
number
one
calls
I
get
and
when
the
kids
can
probably
use
the
bathroom
and
I
have
somebody
that
has
some
Plumbing
skills
they
go
in
and
fix
it.
That
way,
the
the
toilets
can
flush
that
they're
not
like
actually
running
you
know
constantly,
and
water
is
flooding,
yeah
and
I.
If
we
we
have
some.
AB
D
AB
D
D
We
we
have,
we
have
some
issues
at
Shirley,
B,
okay,.
I
D
I
can
I
can
tell
you,
I
can
reach
out
to
the
the
league
in
reference
to
the
bathrooms
and
some
of
the
other
things
that
have
occurred
and
the
lights
have
been
now,
like
almost
you
know,
every
night
I'm
having
to
and
now
I
know
that's
a
Georgia
Power
issue,
but
we
are
having
some
major
problems
that
Shirley.
B
O
You
know
we
have
families
out
at
for
district,
eight
Little
League
out
of
Rigdon
Park
that
are
lining
their
own
Fields,
cutting
their
own
Fields
patching
up
their
own
paint,
fixing
the
fences
they're
doing
that
out
of
pocket
and
and
I
realized
that
you
know
Parks
and
Rec
has
some
budgetary
and
and
and
Personnel
issues,
but
I
think
all
of
our
departments
have
that
and
so
I
would
I'm
gonna
challenge
your
office
to
be
creative
in
coming
up
with
a
creative
solution
for
that,
because
our
our
citizens
and
our,
and
especially
those
families
who
are
already
struggling
to
put
their
kids
in
Little
League
to
get
them
off
the
streets
and
give
them
something
to
do
shouldn't
have
to
be
lining
their
own
fields
and
cutting
their
grass
and
dragging
the
field
using
their
own
gas
using
their
own
vehicles
to
drag
the
field.
O
Investing
in
the
the
equipment
to
drag
the
fields
before
each
game
and
to
counselor
tuckler's
point
the
bathrooms
out.
There
are
deplorable:
they
can't
use
them.
The
plumbing
rarely
works.
The
the
football
portion
is
in
disarray.
O
You
know
and
I
understand
that
Rigdon
Park
is
getting
a
little
bit
of
a
facelift
with
the
pool,
but
the
basketball
court
is
the
surface
is
almost
unplayable
it's
just
it's
not
it's
not
the
situation
that
we
want
for
our
community
to
get
our
kids
off
the
street
to
give
them
something
to
do,
and
and
I
will
forever
say
that
Parks
and
Recreation
is
one
of
our
foundations
of
a
health,
a
healthy
committee,
a
healthy
community,
and
if
we're
not,
if
we're
not
willing
to
Champion.
O
For
that,
then
we've
got
some
issues.
L
Well,
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
I
have
heard
and
I've
seen
the
work
that
Parks
and
Rec
and
Public
Works
did
to
help
the
leagues
prepare
for
their
Opening
Ceremonies,
the
last
couple
of
weekends
and
they
did
an
awesome
job.
So
the
families
were
excited
a
little
chilly
out
there,
but
but
the
families
were
excited
to
get
the
season
started
and
then-
and
there
were
a
lot
of
compliments-
there
were
a
couple
of
lights
out
here
and
there
that
I
know
they'll
get
to
in
time.
L
But
but
I
just
wanted
to
offer
a
congratulations
for
them
and
acknowledge
their
efforts
to
help
help.
Get
that
going
well.
AB
And
thank
you
may
approach
him
and
and
thank
each
of
you
for
sharing
yeah
we're
not
going
to
have
citizens
repair,
restrooms
and
restrooms
need
to
be
decent
for
youth
activities,
and
even
when
there's
no
use
activity
going
on,
you
need
to
be
able
to
go
to
the
restroom,
and
so
that's
something.
We
will
give
close
attention
to.
AM
I
want
to
Echo
what
other
councilor
said:
we've
had
similar
issues
at
Lake
Bottom,
the
bathroom
I
mean
when
I.
If
you
go
early
enough,
if
I
do
a
early
morning
walk
or
a
run,
it's
not
any
fault
of
parks
and
Records.
AM
There's
people
sleeping
in
there
and
that's
that
is
an
issue
we've
got
to
learn
to
address,
but
I
will
say:
I
have
bright,
it's
been
brought
to
y'all's
attention
about
the
following
where
the
band
cage
was
falling
apart
and
the
Carver
contracting
company
did
that
out
of
their
own
pocket
because
it
was
a
dangerous
Hazard.
The
batting
cages
were
in
a
point
where
they
could
have
collapsed
on
children
and
it
was
not
a
direct
as
far
as
I
know
and
I
may.
Maybe
I
went
on
the
email
chain.
AM
He
has
not
been
reimbursed,
but
I
agree
with
Steve
Andrew.
We
need
to
have
a
fund
set
in
place
so
that
you
know
we
have
that
ready,
but
that
was
a
I
mean
as
an
attorney.
That
was
a
hazard
that
we
were
made
aware
of,
and
it
wasn't
taken
care
of
after
a
series
of
months,
so
I
mean
I've.
Definitely
got
heard
concerns
from
the
coaches
and
parents
at
the
Little
League
at
Peach.
They
have
concerns
about.
You
know:
maintenance,
maintaining
the
park
in
general
too,
but.
B
And
it's-
and
it
is
a
it-
is
a
partnership
with
the
little
leagues,
but
we've
got
to
make
sure
we're
doing
our
part,
and
we
got
to
make
sure,
particularly
with
the
restrooms
and
the
facilities
that
they're
they
don't
really
have
any
control.
Over
and
I
know
when
my
kid
was
playing
in
high
school,
the
girls
softball
field,
we
had
to
make
sure
we
got
there
early
as
parents
to
get
the
guy
that
was
sleeping
in
the
Dugout
out
of
there
and
clean
up
after
him.
So
it
was,
it
can
get
bad.
AB
AC
This
is
just
a
brief
update
on
the
parking
garage
at
City
Hall
and
the
options
that
we
have
for
consideration
today.
If
you
can
pull
up
the
presentation,
please
thank
you.
So
we
are
moving
forward
with
City
Hall.
We
hope
to
have
the
first
move
scheduled
the
first
week
of
June
and
so
as
we're
moving
forward
with
that.
We
really
need
to
determine
how
we're
going
to
utilize
the
parking
garage
for
City
Hall,
and
so
we
have
a
few
options
to
go
through
with
you
today.
AC
So
again,
this
is
a
facility
at
634
spaces.
There
are
53
spaces
on
level,
one
that
I'll
kind
of
talk
to
in
reference
to
some
of
the
options
level.
One
is
really
at
this
point
open
to
the
air,
and
so
it's
not
fenced
in
at
this
point,
As
you
move
up
into
the
parking
levels.
There
are
about
116
spaces
per
level,
so
Novus
is
currently
through
our
agreement
with
them
have
access
to
234
spaces
through
July
31
of
2024,
so
they're
still
occupying
the
Bank
building
and
still
utilizing
the
garage
per
our
agreement.
AC
We
will
need
about
200
spaces
for
employees
and
fleet
vehicles,
starting
in
June
of
this
year
and
then
once
everyone
moves
into
that
facility.
That's
another
150
spaces.
We
will
also
be
utilizing
this
parking
facility
when
we
start
the
construction
of
the
judicial
Center
for
a
place
for
employees
to
park.
While
the
judicial
Center
is
being
built,
we
will
be
utilizing
that
parking
facility,
as
as
opposed
to
the
Government
Center
parking
facility,
that
at
some
point
they
will
have
to
move
out
of
that
facility.
AC
So
we
will
need
that
parking
garage
at
City
Hall
for
overflow,
so
option
one
option,
one,
which
is
the
option
that
is
recommended
by
the
sheriff.
This
is
for
employee
parking.
Only
this
garage
would
just
be
dedicated
to
employees,
so
no
public
parking
in
that
facility,
it
would
be
secured,
it
would
be
fenced
in
there
would
be
an
access
gate
for
employees
to
enter
and
exit
the
facility.
Of
course,
the
pro
for
that
is
it's
the
most
secure
provides
ample
overflow
parking
for
the
government
center
employees
during
the
judicial
Center
Construction.
AC
Obviously
the
con
is
there's
no
public
parking
in
the
garage,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
public
parking
on
First
Avenue.
We
have
about
75
construction
employees
who
are
working
in
the
city
hall
now
that
are
using
First
Avenue,
so
we
know
there's
some
spaces
that
would
be
available
for
public
parking
on
First
Avenue,
as
well
as
Broadway
in
front
of
the
new
city
hall
option.
Two
would
be
that
the
first
level
would
be
available
for
public
parking
during
business
hours.
AC
Only
this
would
provide
53
spaces
for
those
citizens
who
are
visiting
City
Hall
have
business
with
City
Hall,
and
that
would
be
53
spaces
that
would
be
available
as
well
as
on
street
parking.
The
garage
would
be
secured
with
fencing
and
access
gates
and
would
be
locked
down
after
hours
after
business
hours.
Upper
levels
of
the
garage
would
again
be
secured
for
employee
parking.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
City
vehicles
that
would
be
on
those
upper
levels,
so
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
those
secured.
AC
The
pros,
obviously
is
to
provide
some
parking
for
the
judicial
Center
construction.
Overflow
provide
dedicated
spaces
for
in
the
public,
while
they're
conducting
business.
This
is
a
very
costly
option.
It
does
exceed
the
budget
that
we've
allocated
for
parking,
because
we
would
have
to
set
up
two
secure
checkpoints,
one
as
you
enter
the
garage
and
then
one
for
the
upper
levels.
AC
The
third
option
is
to
provide
the
first
level
public
parking
at
all
times,
so
we
would
not
provide
any
secure
access
as
you
enter
the
garage.
The
secure
access
would
be
going,
the
second
levels
and
up,
and
so
that's
where
the
gates
would
be
that
would
be
closed
after
business
hours,
but
the
first
level
would
be
open
for
public
parking.
AC
We
would
probably
recommend
a
two-hour
parking
so
that
it's
utilized
for
Citizens
that
come
to
visit,
City
Hall
during
business
hours
and
then
also
for
after
hours,
and
it
is
just
for
the
first
level
is
our
recommendation-
does
again
provide
for
that.
Overflow
parking
provides
dedicated
spaces
for
the
public
and
also
there
would
be
places
for
city
employees
to
park,
and
it
would
provide
53
spaces
for
after
hours
and
on
the
weekends
for
the
public.
This
is
the
the
least
costly
option
and
something
that
we
could
do
within
our.
AC
So
those
are
the
three
options
that
we're
presenting
to
council
today
for
consideration.
We
are
ready
to
move
forward
with
getting
the
garage
ready
for
occupancy
for
the
first
week
of
June,
so
we
would
need
direction
from
City
Council,
on
which
option
or.
AB
AB
B
I
AF
AN
My
recommendation
is
option
one.
If
you
go
to
any
metropolitan
area
the
public
in
that
Park
in
a
government
facility,
you
go
to
DeKalb
County
Fulton
County,
even
Muskogee
County.
The
public
cannot
park
under
a
garage
for
safety
reasons.
AN
AN
Other
cities
may
have
the
same,
but
for
the
sake
of
those
that
utilize
that
government
facility
they
make
recommendations
or
or
most
cities
will
have
an
additional
parking
garage
or
a
parking
space
to
where
the
public
can
utilize
that
I'm
not
saying
that
it's
a
bad
option
for
option
two
or
option
three,
but
at
Sheriff
in
this
being
my
responsibility
for
safety
for
government
facilities
and
government
buildings,
I
can't
say
in
good
faith
that
I
can
sign
off
on
this
because
of
what
could
possibly
happen
because
you
have
even
in
the
government
center,
you
have
employees
that
may
want
to
work
weekends
or
come
there
on
weekends,
at
the
federal
building
that
my
wife
works
at
they
have
boots
around
the
parking
garage
because
of
homeless
people
that
will
come
up
under
the
garage
and
cause
issues
for
employees
that
work
at
that
Federal
Building
for
safety
reasons,
I've
put
and
I
selected
option
one,
because
if
you
go
with
any
other
option,
here's
what's
going
to
have
to
happen
that
we
will
have
to
come
in
and
take
other
safety
measures.
AN
The
way
that
we
do
every
single
morning
in
the
government
center.
Before
the
employees
get
there,
we
have
bum
dogs
that
go
through
the
building
that
people
may
say.
Well,
we
don't
have
bombs
in
Muskogee
County.
Well,
we
season
of
C4
last
year
to
bring
down
almost
a
city
block,
so
we're
next
to
Fort,
Bennett
and
I.
Don't
want
to
get
into
too
many
other
safety
reasons,
but
as
Sheriff.
J
J
No,
no,
the
reason
I
asked
for
you
to
come
forward
to
bring
that
up
because,
somewhere
in
my
first
two
or
three
years,
we
were
brief
one
time
that
a
guy
tried
to
drive
a
pickup
truck
up
the
steps
of
the
government
building
when
we
had
Council
meetings
down
there
and
we
had
no
idea
and
his
tires
went
flat,
trying
to
get
in
and
I've
heard
about
the
different
security
issues,
but
Fort
Benning
being
the
main
key
I
know
you
can't
talk
on
that,
but
it's
something
I've
kept
up
with
since
I
was
a
kid
and
we
are
number
one
on
a
lot
of
lists
around
the
country
and
some
sometimes
around
the
world
because
of
Fort
Benning,
which
will
become
Fort
Moore.
J
So
I
just
wanted
to
hear
it
from
you,
because
I'm
one
that
came
in
and
I
tell
the
story.
All
the
time
I
came
in
this
building
with
sawdust
on
the
floor.
We
only
had
steps
on
the
city
manager,
side,
councilor
Thomas
was
discussing
the
facts.
It's
not
reasonable
to
walk
around
that
side.
So
we
added
steps
to
this
side.
While
they
were
having
that
discussion.
I
had
them
to
walk
me
through
this
facility
and
showed
me
how
to
get
out
of
here
before
we
ever
came
in
here.
J
So
I've
always
been
concerned
about
security,
because
there
are
people
who
don't
like
us
for
the
sake
of
a
better
term.
They
just
don't
like
us
and
we
need
to
stay
as
safe
as
possible
because
it's
it's
hard
enough
just
to
get
through
and
the
sheriff
keeps
us
informed
on
how
to
move
about
and
I
saw
some
security
reasons.
One
out
judges
went
into
Barnes
and
Nobles
one
night
and
I
just
sat
in
my
car
to
watch
him
move
around
and
he
parked
his
car
like
back
by
the
back
window,
and
he
came
out.
J
AN
Yeah
and
if
I
can
also
add
to
that
that
I
put
in
place
a
safety
measure
for
even
the
government
center
that
that
we
no
longer
allow
Courier
Services
to
park
under
the
under
the
north
Breezeway,
they
have
to
park
out
either
on
First
Avenue
side
or
either
on
the
Second
Avenue
side.
Because
that's
part
of
the
safety
measures
that
we
put
in
place.
Yeah.
J
AN
J
L
Mayor
Pro
Tim.
Thank
you.
Mayor
just
had
a
question
for
Deputy
city
manager,
Pam
Hodge.
If
I
heard
you
right,
it
was
116
parking
spaces
per
level.
Is
that
right.
L
Okay
and
how
many
employees
will
be
utilizing
the
parking
deck.
AC
So
until
July,
31
of
24,
we'll
have
230
spaces
for
Synovus
and
about
200
spaces
will
be
needed
with
the
initial
wave,
the
first
week
of
June,
and
that
is
employees
and
City
Vehicles,
because
obviously
they'll
have
their
personal
vehicle
and
then
we'll
have
a
city
vehicle
there.
So
we
need
about
200
spaces.
For
that.
L
L
Okay,
two
through
six,
but
that's
that's
several
hundred
parking
spaces.
AC
L
AC
Asking
today,
because
we
need
to
put
those
security
measures
in
place
before
we
move
in
in
June,
so
do
we
need
to
put
the
fence
around
the
ground
floor
and
that's
where
our
security
access
would
be,
or
do
we
put
it
as
you
go
up
into
the
parking
level
on
the
second?
Basically
on
the
second
level?
For
that
to
be
this
secure
entrance
for
employees
so.
AF
AB
L
I
understand
the
concerns
about
safety,
and
but
at
the
same
time
this
is
a
city
facility.
I
mean
it's.
The
citizens
should
have
a
right
to
park,
at
least
on
the
first
two
levels
in
my
opinion,
and
then
we
can
secure
third
and
up
yeah.
That's
my
opinion.
I
understand
what
the
sheriff
says.
I
can
appreciate
that,
but
but
I
I
just
don't
see
how
you
can
tell
the
citizenry
that
they
can't
part
there.
L
So
it's
it
just
I
would
I
would
prefer
an
option
where
we
we
have
security,
I
guess
from
the
third
floor
up
and
allow
those
with
access
certain
access
to
to
be
able
to
utilize.
The.
AB
AB
AB
AB
for
public
parking
in
the
in
the
space.
So
if
you
eliminate
option
one,
you
know,
I
mean
I'll
have
further
conversation
with
staff
because
on
the
weekend
Uptown
might
need
space,
but
we're
not
going
to
let
you
park
there
all
night
right.
You
know,
because
then
we
become
a
storage
facility
and
you
know
so
it
would
have
to
stop
at
11
or
10,
11
or
midnight.
Let's
say
on
weekends,
but
weekdays
it
may
be.
AB
L
A
lot
I
would
prefer
I
would
like
to
see
us
work
on
it.
A
little
more
this
facility,
this
structure
does
not
have
a
basement
parking.
Is
that
right.
L
AB
Is
there
a
consensus
to
eliminate
option
one,
and
then
we
just
work
on
with
public
parking.
B
U
It
was,
it
was
my
understanding
when
we
decided
to
move
into
this
facility
as
the
city
hall,
that
we
were
going
to
make
available
to
the
public
businesses
that
the
public
has
to
go
into
and
and
do
their
business.
If
you
want
a
business
license
or
whatever
else
you
can
go
in
there,
I
think
that
that
we
are
defeating
our
purpose
if
we
do
not
allow
them
to
park
in
the
garage
and
not
have
to
park
on
First
Avenue
I'm,
also
wanting
us
to
think
about.
U
If
you
will
the
evening
and
weekend
parking
that
garage
is
accessible
or
close
to
the
Springer,
the
River
Center
to
businesses
and
restaurants
around
that
area
that
people
could
park
in
off
the
street
if
they
chose
to
do
that.
I
know
that
at
this
point,
there's
only
one
entrance
from
the
garage
into
the
building
and
that's
on
the
second
floor
is
that
correct.
U
AC
U
AC
U
Okay,
you
know
we
could.
We
could
have
part
of
the
change
order
of
the
building
to
cut
some
more
doors
if
we
needed
to
do
that.
But
I
I
do
believe
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
citizens
have
access
to
that
building
when
they
are
doing
business
with
the
city
and
then,
if
on
the
weekend
or
evening,
if
we
can
work
it
out,
if
we
can
do
something
that
you
know
makes
sense
to
give
them
the
downtown
businesses
some
access
to
that
too,
when
the
the
sheriff
was
was
talking.
U
I
I
thought
about
right.
After
9,
11.
I
lived
in
Orange,
County,
California
and
I
did
a
lot
of
flying
and
one
of
the
things
that
they
I
flew
out
of
the
John
Wayne
Airport
in
Orange
County
and
one
of
the
things
they
did
was
they
closed
off
all
of
the
parking
right
next
up
to
the
building
right
next
up
to
the
actual
Airport,
Building
and
I
thought,
if
I
want
to
blow
up
that
building
I,
don't
care.
U
But
this
is
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
that
we
can
deal
with
all
of
these
issues
and
still
give
to
our
citizens
the
opportunity
to
park
to
have
a
place
to
park,
to
have
a
off
the
street
parking
to
do
their
business
with
the
city
and
then,
if
possible,
to
do
their
business
on
the
weekend
with
other
businesses
in
and
around
the
the
parking
garage,
the
the
issue
about
where
they
should
Park.
U
While
we're
doing
the
renovation
I
mean
we're
doing
the
construction
of
the
judicial
Center
I
would
much
rather
them
Park
in
the
River
Center
in
the
river
Center.
U
Yeah
the
Broadway
parking
garage
across
from
the
River
Center.
If,
if
that
is
needed,
we
can
do
that
we
can
handle
that
we
can
do
you
know
all
of
those
kinds
of
things,
but
I
really
want
the
this
one
available
to
the
public
and
to
our
citizens,
who
have
business
with
us.
Thank.
AB
B
O
Yeah,
so
the
part
uptown
is,
is
booming
right
now,
with
the
addition
of
the
hotels
and
all
the
new
businesses
and
so
I
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
even
I
think
option.
One
is
not
really
an
option
of
I'm.
I
completely
understand
safety
from
the
sheriff's
standpoint,
but
on
the
second
floor,
I
believe
we
already
have
parking
spots
that
are
allocated
for
the
11th
itself,
I
think
it's
the
11th
Street
Lofts
or
some
of
those
Lofts.
O
Those
are
the
entrants
there
and
then
for
some
of
the
other
for
some
of
the
other
residents
that
are
already
staying
downtown
so
that
you
know
cutting
off
the
that
second
floor
is
going
to
complicate
that
already.
But
aside
from
that,
the
merchants
and
the
business
owners
that
are
downtown
are
already
struggling
with
with
parking
as
it
is.
O
And
so,
when
you
are,
when
you
are
circling
the
Broadway
five
times,
I've
done
it
before
looking
for
a
parking
spot
and
you
get
frustrated
and
you
leave
that's
going
to
be
that's
already.
A
lot
of
lost
business
for
some
of
those
businesses
down
there
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
ask
Jason
McKenzie
actually
to
come
up.
O
He
owns
ride
on
bikes,
so
and
I
know
that
he
has
struggled
with
this
for
over
20
years,
since
they
had
just
had
their
20
20
year
anniversary
so
and
it's
become
especially
in
the
last
10
years,
has
become
an
extraordinarily
difficult
and
challenging
problem,
especially
now
that
we've
got
pickup
spots
for
for
pickups
from
restaurants,
and
we
have
loading
zones
and
we
have
construction.
O
The
the
construction
that's
already
going
on
at
that
location
is
already
putting
a
load
that
is
kind
of
cracking
the
parking
problem
as
it
is,
adding
an
extra
200
or
adding
all
of
those
construction
workers
in
on
a
daily
basis
is
already
clogging
up
that
that
parking
issue
on
First
Street.
So
if
Jason,
if
you
want
to
come.
B
AM
Gary
I
mean
one
of
my
concerns
was
that
one
of
my
doctors
has
a
loss
directly
connected
to
the
parking
lot
where
the
walkthrough
is
so.
Unfortunately,
the
time
limit
would
be
unreasonable
and
also.
My
other
concern
is
if
we
have
people
parking
downtown,
at
least
on
the
weekends,
maybe
not
on
the
weeknights
I,
don't
think
we
should
boot
them
until
at
least
24
hours
has
passed,
because
what
about
were
we
doing
but
pushing
drunk
drivers
on
the
road?
AM
If
they
decide
hey,
I
shouldn't
have
had
more
than
I
should
have
had
to
drink,
but
your
car
is
going
to
be
towed,
so
they
have
to
either
make
a
decision
on
that
or
they
have
to
or
they're
going
to
draft
Rock
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
at
least
on
the
on
the
timeline,
but
I
think
at
least
on
the
time
limit
issue
I
mean
the
people
who
are
residents
at
least
need
to
have
some
sort
of
pass
to
be
able
to
get
into
the
buildings.
AO
Thank
you,
I
was
just
thinking,
maybe
of
a
hybrid
idea
that
could
still
create
some
security
and
still
offer
spaces
that
you
know
we.
We
do
a
past
system
kind
of
like
what
counselor
Garrett
mentioned
for
the
residents
of
those
Lofts
and
also
maybe
the
businesses
downtown,
because
then
at
least
it
would
clear
up
space
where
the
business
owners
and
the
people
that
are
working
there,
they
can
be
guaranteed
a
place
to
park
which
would
in
turn
free
up
a
lot
of
the
parking
in
front
of
businesses.
AO
I
know
that
has
been
an
issue
when
my
husband
had
a
business
down
there,
and
so
maybe
we
could
work
something
like
that
and
where
these
business
owners
can
give
passes
to
their
employees,
and
then
we
actually
know
who
is
parking
in
that
structure.
It's
not
just
a
free-for-all.
AO
Just
an
idea.
I
wanted
to
throw
out
there.
AL
Yes,
I
totally
grasped
the
concerns
that
the
sheriff
has
shared
with
us
and
they
are
they're
very
valid
and,
and
certainly
our
respect,
his
knowledge
and
understanding
of
the
matter
I
also,
and
thinking
about
the
the
definite
need
for
more
parking
in
that
area
just
by
the
location
of
the
facility.
The
parking
garage
I
know
when
we
talked
our
citizens
were
really
gracious
to
allow
us
the
financial
resources
to
be
able
to
even
do
something
like
this
and
and
certainly
we're.
This
Center
is
going
to
be
part
of
the
community.
AL
You
do
have
a
remind
you.
You
do
have
on
the
opposite
side,
a
block
away.
You
have
another
parking
deck,
that's
down
there
that
can
be
utilized
on
the
other
side
of
the
Hampton,
which
is
not
that
far
away.
But
then
you
know
when
you
look
at
all
corners
of
the
building.
You
kind
of
somewhat
share
the
same
securities
concerns
that
might
be
there
in
some
of
the
conversation
that
we're
talking
about.
I
saw
three
options:
two
and
three.
AL
If
I
read
them
wrong,
I
think
they
only
allow
for
parking
on
the
on
the
first
day.
On
the
first
floor,
I
I
think
there
needs
to
be
an
option,
four,
which
I
would
agree
that
we
need
to
explore
the
second
level
in
providing
parking
as
well.
I
would
rather
take
the
resources.
Even
you
have
to
pay
a
little
bit
more
to
provide
the
security
and
I'm
not
going
to
sit
here
and
tell
you
how
to
come
up
with
that,
but
I
think
they're.
AL
You
know
you
put
a
meeting
of
the
minds
together
and
figure
out
a
little
more.
You
know
opportunity
on
the
security
side.
It
may
cost
a
little
bit
more,
but
I
view
that
as
those
amount
of
spaces
or
what
you
would
have
to
go
out
and
construct
and
find
them
and
do
everything
I
think
it's
a
small
amount
of
investment
for
the
necessary
parking
places
in
in
that
area
and
whether
it's
the
first
floor.
Second
floor
third
floor.
AL
You
know,
if
somebody
really
wanted
to
make
a
statement
I'm,
you
know
they
could
do
it.
They
could
do
it
in
many
ways,
and
you
know
I
think
I
think
you're
you're
going
to
be
okay
with
that,
but
certainly
if
we
need
more
Personnel
or
equipment,
more
security
measures
or
whatever
I'd
all
be
I'd,
be
for
that
to
as
a
way
to
deal
with
an
extra
116
spaces
that
I
think
are
desperately
needed.
There's
no
other
I
mean
there's
just
no
other
from
a
central
in
that
area.
AB
A
place
to
park,
and
so
mayor
packages
interject
quickly,
you
you've
helped
us
a
lot
by
eliminating
option
one
and
what
we
would
be
bringing
you
back
for
consideration
and
a
vote
would
be
two
three
or
four
options
related
to
mixed
use
of
city
employees.
Public
Access
for
business,
private
after
I
would
bring
you
back
all
the
options
we
just
needed
to
know.
If,
if
it
was
one,
then
we
were
done
well.
AL
Thanks
mayor
and
look
I'm
not
making
light
of
this
okay,
but
if
it
was
a
Judicial,
Center
or
courtrooms
and
judges
and
all
the
rest
of
that
I,
wouldn't
you
know,
I'd
be
having
a
total
different
Outlook
of
this,
but
I
I'm,
looking
at
it
from
a
different
perspective,
but
still
thinking
about
people's
safety.
At
the
same
time,
saying
yep.
B
I
know:
we've
still
got
two
more
counselors
Mr
Mayor
Pro
Tim.
Thank.
L
AC
L
L
Three,
the
what
we're
looking
at
is
having
a
swipe
card
for
them
to
go
to
work
and
home.
That
kind
of
thing
on
the
third
floor,
so
they
would
be
able
to
swipe
access.
Would
that
require
a
background
check
well
mere
protein.
L
AB
L
Think
on
the
third
floor
is
where
they
have
access
to
walk
across
to
where
they're
is
that
right,
yeah.
L
AC
L
That's
when
I
was
what
I
was
trying
to
to
get
at,
and
is
it
possible
that
some
of
our
folks
could
use
the
River
Center
Parking
during
the
interim
I'm,
not
I'm,
talking
about
maybe
the
workers
and
then
have
some
kind
of
Transport
for
them.
If
I
mean
there
may
be
another
garage
closer,
but
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
something
we
could
work
out
in
the
interim
if
needed,
just
wanted
to
plant
that
seed,
you
can
talk
about
it
later
so
anyway.
Thank
you,
mayor.
D
Yes,
this
is
the
sheriff
kind
of
put
me
back
in
a
force.
Protection
mindset.
I
know
we're
shifting
a
lot
to
the
new
parking
garage.
Can
we
address
this
parking
garage
here,
since
we
will
have
a
more
permanent,
dedicated
offices
for
the
counselors?
Can
we
yeah
here
since
we
are.
I
D
That
can
we
actually
add
this
to
the
plan
and
find
a
debt,
because
now,
honestly,
my
my
nerves
are
a
little
bad
because
of
what
the
sheriff
talked
about
and
I've
done.
Force
protection
where
you
actually
have
to
go
and
check
for
bombs
and
all
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
concerned
about
where
the
counselors
part
and
having
something
within
a
plan
to
ensure
that
the
the
safety
of
the
counselors
are
addressed
in
the
city
manager.
B
On
yeah
I
know:
we've
got
another
couple
of
weeks
before
we
have
to
make
this
decision,
but
Mr
McKenzie.
You
want
to
have
a
few
quick
words
and
Mr
Wolverton.
You
can,
if
you
have
something
you
want
to
add
or
okay,
but
I,
think
it's
important
to
have
a
discussion
prior
to
bringing
back
the
option
so
that
you
can
have
some
input.
AQ
Yeah,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
Jason
McKenzie
with
ride
on
bikes.
We
just
celebrated
20
years
on
Saturday
and
my
family
is
Buddy
gnomes
and
Tom
Jones
with
Uptown
life
group,
so
sloth,
Marbella,
salt,
cellar
and
soon
to
be
a
new
restaurant
here
in
the
next
two
months,
we've
worked
very
very
hard
to
create
this
parking
problem.
You
know
it's
taken
a
long
time
to
create
this
problem
because
it
wasn't
there
20
years
ago,
much
less
30.
and
I
also
very
much
respect.
Sheriff
Countryman
always
have
respect.
AQ
His
leadership
and
I've
been
very
clear
to
him
in
person
about
that
saying
that
keeping
our
government
officials
safe
is
extremely
important,
but
also
our
citizens
safe,
extremely
important,
so
that
parking
garage
being
right
across
the
street
from
our
160
employees
that
we
have
now
will
soon
to
be
just
over
200.
Having
that
safety
option
to
walk
across
the
street
is
crucial
for
us
and
it
is
not
at
10
o'clock
P.M.
It
is
not
at
midnight
a
lot
of
times.
As
you
know,
we've
all
had
the
opportunity
to
enjoy
those
restaurants.
AQ
It
can
be
at
two
or
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
by
the
time
we
get
closed
up
and
get
out
of
there.
So
it's
super
important
for
us
to
have
that
and
I
know.
You've
already
addressed
this,
but
the
having
the
options
that
were
up
there
early
are
only
allowing
the
53
parking
places
on
the
base
floor
is
not
a
good
option
as
well,
so
definitely
adding
floors.
One
and
two
will
be
crucial
for
us
and
for
the
Improvement
of
our
business
moving
forward.
AQ
We
love
Uptown
Columbus
and
it
is
super
important.
We
love
Columbus
and
Georgia
in
general
and
having
the
ability
for
our
team
members
to
have
safe,
walk
across
the
street
as
opposed
to
trying
to
find
parking
and
allowing
the
citizens
to
have
more
ability
to
have
parking
to
enjoy
Uptown.
It's
a
big
deal
and
adding
those
two
I
guess
it's
178
I
believe
it
was
177
parking
places
can
make
a
really
big
difference
in
those
two
parking
decks.
Thank
you.
U
Jason
I
will
tell
you
that
I
remember
when
that
garage
was
built
and
curvin's
department
store
was
in
that
location.
So
you
know
how
long
ago
that
was
not.
U
But
that
that
was
what
it
but
Miss
deputies
city
manager
I,
would
recommend
that
perhaps
you
get
with
Jason
and
maybe
buddy
Nelms
and
some
of
the
other
people
downtown
and
talk
to
them
about,
as
as
you're
trying
to
come
up
with
these
options
to
talk
with
them
about.
How
can
we
make
sure
that
those
folks
that
work
in
your
restaurants
have
a
safe
place
to
park
after
night?
U
And
you
know
they
may
be
willing
to
make
some
kind
of
financial
contribution
to
make
sure
that
they
have
those
parking
places
and
that
sort
of
things,
but
I
would
highly
recommend
that
we
talk
with
those
folks
downtown
the
those
business
owners
downtown
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
not
causing
additional
problems
for
them
that
we
are
not
cognizant
of
yeah.
Thank
you.
R
Yes,
just
very
short,
so
to
concur
with
the
city
manager.
This
is
really
a
mixed
use
issue
for
all
the
Uptown
District.
Any
parking
system
has
to
be
able
to
to
touch
all
the
different
market
segments
that
are
part
of
the
Uptown,
the
office
workers
as
the
city
manager
and
here's
your
city
staff
and,
of
course,
our
our
city
council
members
as
well.
It
has
to
be
available.
Most
of
your
stuff
happens
in
the
daytime.
R
We
have
a
vibrant,
nighttime
economy
with
the
restaurants
and
the
theater
portions,
so
having
that
nighttime
use
and
then,
as
we
continue
to
add
residences
in
uptown,
they
have
a
need
for
more
24-hour
kind
of
access.
So
striking
a
balance
is
really
important,
and
this
is
a
public
asset.
Now
that
we
really
need
to
maximize
the
use
of
it.
Having
the
garage
sit
there
unused
for
10
hours
a
day,
really
is
not
maximizing
and
using
its
potential
as
much
as
we
could.
F
AL
AL
It
just
didn't
happen,
but
I
can
see
in
the
future
that
we
may
touch
that
again
at
some
point
in
time,
where
there'll
be
a
parking
deck
in
a
strategic
area,
and
at
that
point
maybe
this
all
just
becomes
a
temporary
type
situation
that
we
can
go
back
to
a
more
I
guess
secured
plan
as
you're
presenting
to
us,
but
until
that
takes
place,
I
think
those
spaces
are
desperately
needed.
B
R
The
City
Metro
Staff
is
working
out.
Oh.
AB
Well,
mayor
I
think
we
thank
you
for
having
the
eliminated
option
one.
We
know
to
bring
back.
You
know
two
three
or
four
options
with
public
use
of
the
parking
garage.
So
we
appreciate
that
discussion.
Next,
we've
got
comprehensive
camera
update,
Deputy
city
manager,
Lisa
Goodwin,.
AP
Okay,
good
morning,
mayor
or
good
afternoon,
mayor
members
of
council,
just
to
give
you
a
brief,
very
brief,
update
on
where
we
are
with
our
comprehensive
camera
program.
We
are
about
90
percent,
complete
with
phase
one.
That
means
589
cameras.
We
have
installed
throughout
the
parks
and
rec
facilities.
AP
We
still
have
a
couple
of
more
that
we
are
working
on
and
we
have,
of
course,
the
cameras
that
we
have
provided
to
the
police
department
for
the
high
crime
areas
and
then,
of
course,
we
are
looking
at
now,
the
installation
of
our
polls
and
for
the
high
illegal
dumping
areas
with
Public
Works
they've
identified
a
number
of
different
areas
where
we're
going
to
place
those
polls
and,
of
course
those
are
mobile,
so
we'll
be
moving
them
throughout,
as
we
continue
down
the
list
of
those
High
illegal
dumping
areas,
phase
two
phase:
three,
as
you
have
been
provided
some
time
back.
AP
These
are
the
areas
that
we're
going
to
be
placing
the
cameras
in
those
departments
for
phase
two.
It
would
be
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
their
components,
the
public
safety
building
in
the
various
precincts
Fire
EMS
and
the
health
department
phase.
Three
will
include
Metra
the
Civic
Center
Public
Works
and
the
Trade
Center.
We
are
going
to
be
working
on
phases,
two
right
now,
phase
two
and
three
concurrently
as
we
go
ahead
and
get
some
of
the
groundwork
complete,
which
includes
I'm.
AP
Sorry,
let's
go
here
which
includes
pulling
the
wires
in
the
fiber
Etc,
and
so
once
we
pull
that
together.
That
way,
all
we
have
to
do
next
is
go
to
and
start
installing
the
camera
systems
in
for
phase
two
and
then
we're
going
to
continue
to
provide
Upstate
updates
to
you
along
the
way.
AP
But
let's
go
back
to
the
potential
phase,
four,
what
we
are
going
to
do,
based
on
conversations
that
this
Council
has
had
and
what
the
mayor
has
asked
us
to
do
as
well
to
look
at
the
cost
for
installing
additional
cameras
throughout
city
parks.
Right
now,
our
city
facilities
write
phase
one
in
particular,
Parks
and
Recreation.
We're
only
placing
cameras
in
the
building
and
throughout
the
exterior
of
the
buildings.
AP
So
that's
where
we
are
with
that
and
let's
go
back
so
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
with
the
comprehensive
camera
program.
Any
questions
on
phases,
one
two
or
three.
AB
AB
The
tires
all
over
South
Columbus
on
Andrews
Road
at
Casita
Road
behind
the
gas
station
I've
asked
staff
to
go,
cite
them
mounds
of
tires
and
then
on
my
way
in
this
morning,
on
Andrews
Road
at
the
railroad
track
at
those
empty
Apartments
mounds
of
tires,
I
sent
staff
out
on
Andrews
Road
across
right
behind
the
Family
Dollar
two
weeks
ago
to
remove
mounds
of
tires,
and
so
this
public
service
announcement
is
to
the
tire
company
or
whoever
is
doing
it.
AB
AB
D
Can
you
please
add
the
old
Walmart
building
on
Buena
Vista
Road?
If
you
ride
behind
that
building
and
I
agree
with
you,
city
manager
must
be
some
type
of
tire
company,
but
it's
about
300
tires
behind
that
that
building
and
as
soon
as
you
turn
I
mean
it
there,
they
are
piled
up
just
from
the
corner
all
the
way
around
the
building.
D
Just
on
the
Walmart
side
and
I
know,
that's
my
my
my
seat,
mate
District,
but
we,
we
have
I,
think
the
mirror
and
I
was
out
at
an
event
years
ago,
and
we
had
to
do
a
cleanup
in
that
area
because
we
were
standing
there.
Looking
at
you
know
all
the
high
dumping
in
that
area,
but
now
they
have
instead
of
doing
because
now
we
got
truck
parking
that
we
need
to
address
in
the
near
future.
D
We
have
the
18
wheelers
parking
at
that
Walmart
and
then
also
across
the
street
and
all
up
univista
Road,
but
yeah
all
up
univista
road,
but
we
really
need
to
do
put
in
a
3-1-1
to
go
behind
Walmart
on
Buena
Vista
Road.
It
is
becoming
a
nuisance,
but.
D
I,
don't
know
what
it
what
it
is
and
sale
I
feel
like
it's
coming
from
other
areas.
C
AP
We're
hoping
that
these
cameras
are
able
to
pick
up
some
of
this,
so
that
we
can
make
examples
of
folk
who
are
doing
this,
be
it
in
the
city
or
outside
coming
into
the
city.
We're
going
to
make
some
examples,
as
the
city
manager
has
said.
Thank.
AB
You
next
we've
got
short-term
rental,
Ryan,
Pruitt
inspections
and
codes.
AR
Okay,
thank
you.
Mr
city
manager,
good
afternoon
mayor
pro
team
members
of
council
Mr
City
attorney,
wanted
to
come
back
with
some
short-term
rental,
ordinance
clarifications
and
a
couple
recommendations.
AR
As
you
know,
we
have
a
moratorium
in
place
right
now
until
May
15th.
So
we
are
not
currently
accepting
new
applications
to
kind
of
look
at
this
ordinance
and
see
see
what
kind
of
changes
may
need
to
be
made.
AR
So
the
first
one
recommendation
would
be
to
revise
section
4.9.4
to
reflect
time
frames
for
the
permits
to
be
renewed
right
now.
That
section
just
says,
permits
should
be
renewed
on
an
annual
basis,
and
so
the
question
comes
up.
Is
that
a
year
from
when
the
permit
was
issued,
or
is
that
based
on
calendar
year?
So
our
recommendation
is
to
revise
that
language
to
match
the
business
license
requirement,
which
basically
means
you
get
issued
a
permit,
it's
good
till
December
31st,
and
then
you
have
until
April
first
to
renew
it.
AR
AR
Another
clarification
4.9.7
paragraph
D
was
the
sticker.
There's
a
lot
of
questions
about
what
the
sticker
would
look
like
if
it
had
contact
information
on
it.
This
is
an
example
of
what
the
sticker
could
look
like
again,
just
something
short
and
sweet
that
again
could
help
a
officer
responding
to
an
issue
at
that
property.
Identify
that
hey.
This
is
a
short-term
rental.
In
addition,
we
have
been
working
with
the
Columbus
Police
Department
to
give
information
to
them
that
they
can
then
input
into
the
911
system.
AR
AR
And
then
the
occupant
load-
and
that
was
another
topic
of
discussion
last
time
we
we
talked
about
short-term
rentals,
the
current
ordinance
caps,
the
occupancy
at
two
occupants
per
bedroom,
plus
one
additional
occupant
and
an
occupant,
is
anybody
in
there.
That's
is
a
person
in.
So
it's
not
people
staying
overnight,
it's
just
a
person
in
in
the
structure,
so
this
load
is
in
line
with
other
municipalities,
Atlanta
Savannah.
They
all
have
very
similar
language.
Some
of
them
do
they
don't
have
the
additional
occupant.
AR
They
just
do
Straight
two
per
bedroom,
but
our
recommendation
would
be
to
leave
this.
You
know,
as
it
says,
to
cap
that
it
two
occupants
per
bedroom
plus
one
and
again
the
these
rentals
are
intended
to
be
short-term
overnight,
accommodations
and
not
necessarily
admit
venues.
So
that's
why
we
recommend
just
leaving
that
the
same.
AR
And
so
that's
really
all
the
recommendations
we
have
and
the
Caps
are.
You
know
now
in
place
with
the
numbers.
We
have
developed
a
system
in-house
with
our
computer
system
in
our
fermenting
software
to
track
the
number
of
rentals
per
District.
So
we
can
enforce
the
cap,
make
sure
we're
doing
all
that
right.
So
we
don't
really
have
any
recommendations
on
the
cap.
Part
of
it
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
O
Can
you
give
us
a
update
on
the
illegal
Opera
operating
airbnbs
that
are
happening
right.
AR
Now
so
we
have
been
working
on
an
enforcement
plan
to
get
those
ones
that
are
operating
without
a
permit
in
line.
So
in
our
experience
most
of
the
time,
it's
an
education
issue
that
they're
not
aware
that
they're
supposed
to
have
a
permit
from
us.
So
as
the
moratorium
comes
to
an
end,
you
know
we're
going
to
start
the
enforcement,
like
any
other
enforcement
case,
which
is
to
start
out
with
certified
mail
to
the
owner's
address,
notifying
them
that
hey
you're,
not
in
compliance.
AR
O
What
and
so
what
about?
Since
there
is
a
you
know,
we
put
the
moratorium
on
it
just
to
kind
of
stop
the
bleeding
until
we
could
address
the
Caps
in
in
more
depth
since
the
whether
it's
five
percent
ten
percent
or
a
number,
the
I
do.
I
have
a
couple
of
citizens
that
are
kind
of
reaching
out
to
address
that
they
purchase
these
properties
with
the
intent
of
Airbnb
them
within
I.
O
Don't
know,
I'm,
not
sure
very
close
to
when
we
put
the
moratorium
in
in
play,
We're
unaware
that
we
were
putting
the
moratorium
in
play
and
if
we
were
to
stick
with
those
caps,
is
there
a
line
that
they
have
to
get
into?
Can
they
submit
their
applications?
Can
they
not
submit
those
applications?
There
seems
to
be
some
confusion
between
just
how
how
that
process
works.
Can
you
clarify
so.
AR
The
the
current
ordinance
does
not
have
any
type
of
wait
list
Provisions
or
anything
like
that,
so
the
intent
would
be.
You
know
to
be.
First,
come
first
serve
once
they
you
know.
If
it's
not
at
the
cap
or
a
cap,
one
of
the
permits
in
a
cap
District,
you
know,
went
away
then
it'd
be
first.
Come
first
served
for
the
first
person
to
come
back
in
it
would
I
have
been
telling
people
that
call
asking
about
the
moratorium.
You
know
is
telling
them.
You
know
right
now.
AR
It's
scheduled
to
expire,
May
15th,
and
you
know
so
they
can
come
in
May
16th
and
get
a
permit
and
then
I
would
you
know,
follow
up
and
contact
them
if
something
were
to
change.
I
U
Ron,
do
you
I
I,
assume
that
when
somebody
applies
for
a
license
for
this
there's
some
kind
of
directory
or
something
that
we
tell
them,
what
the
rules
are
and
so
forth,
I
would
I
would
hope
that
the
rule
about
this
is
for
these
are
not
to
be
for
parties.
These
are
to
be
for
overnights,
that
that
is
said
time
and
time
and
time
and
time
again,
so
that
it
that
it
registers
so
that
they
can't
say
oh
I,
missed
that
one
well,
it
was
on
every
page.
U
You
know
that
kind
of
thing,
but
I
I
would
I
would
be
interested
in
seeing
one
of
the
at
some
point.
When
you
have
time
one
of
the
brochures
that
you
give
to
people
who
rent
these
bnbs.
Thank
you
and.
AR
AO
AR
So
we're
going
to
follow
a
process.
Our
plan
is
to
follow
a
process
like
most
of
the
other
enforcement
issues
that
we
take,
which
is
to
issue
a
written
warning
first,
to
make
sure
that
the
owner
operators
are
educated
on
the
issue
and
how
they
are
violating
the
ordinance
and
then
give
them
a
defined
period
of
time
to
come
into
compliance.
AO
Okay,
I
just
I'm
business
friendly,
but
I'm
also
businesses
have
rules
and
they
need
to
follow
them,
and
we
do
have
ordinances
on
the
books
right
now
and
they
are
not
in
compliance
with
the
laws
of
Columbus
Georgia
right
now
so
are
we
are
these
properties
that
are
currently
being
used
as
airbnbs?
Do
they
take
that
area
over
their
cap.
AR
AR
AR
AO
L
AR
So
since
we
can't
you
know,
we
can't
issue
new
permits
during
the
moratorium
so
again
with
the
cap
districts.
We
can
immediately
go
after
those
because
they
will
never
have
a
chance
to
get
a
permit
since
it's
capped,
but
in
the
uncapped
areas
once
the
moratorium
expires.
You
know
we
would
give
them
probably
14
days
to
get
their
permit
and
get
into
compliance.
AA
L
There
be
a
way
to
give
those
that
are
in
compliance.
AR
If
they're
in
compliance
already,
then
they
you
know
will
be
able
to
continue
to
operate
and
we
we
can
renew
permits
right
now.
It's
just
the
new
permits
that
we
can't
issue
so
those
those
that
are
in
compliance,
because
we've
had
a
bunch
of
them
that
have
been
trying
to
get
a
2023
business
license
and
they
have
to
come
see
us
for
a
new
2023
short-term
rental
permit
before
they
can
get
that
business
license.
So
we
are
renewing
licenses
for
those
that
are
in
good
standing.
AR
L
That
right,
okay,
are
you
you're,
bringing
back
a
plan
to
to
allow
this
going
forward?
I
mean
how
will
the
Airbnb
operate
going
forward
and
you're
going
to
bring
a
plan
back
to
us
for
that?
Well,.
S
AR
I
said
really,
with
the
the
one
adjustment
with
the
language
about
the
have
a
permitting
when
it
expires
and
how
you
renew
it
really,
everything
else
with
is
going
to
stay
the
same
as
the
current
ordinance.
So
we
just
need
to
step
up
the
enforcement
efforts
and
really,
you
know,
dedicate
some
man
hours
to
going
after
the
ones
that
are
not
permitted.
L
Like
I
guess,
my
concern
lies
in
this:
these
are
basically
neighborhoods
and
and
giving
a
permit
and
a
business
license
we're
allowing
a
business
to
go
next
door
to
a
home
to
and
potentially
disrupt
the
quality
of
life
of
the
families
around
it.
So
what
I
would
like
to
see
is
some
type
of
hearing
before
pack
and
this
body
to
whether
we
allow
an
Airbnb
to
and
allow
the
homeowners
to
have
be
able
to
come
and
air
their
agreements
about
it
or
have
their
support
for
it.
I
I
feel
like
that's
the
way.
L
This
should
be
a
pro
approach,
because
without
rezoning
we're
allowing
businesses
to
go
everywhere
anywhere,
really
as
long
as
they
get
a
permit
and
license.
So
we
don't
know
who
they
are.
We
don't
know
any
kind
of
background
check
on
them,
but
we're
allowing
them
to
go
in
and
I
just
think
it
needs
to
be
vetted
a
little
further.
So
I
would
like
you
to
consider
that
going
going
forward.
O
And
maybe
maybe
this
is
already
worked
out,
but
can
we
include
a
it's
kind
of
step-by-step
process
on
with,
like
actionable
measurable
steps
on
how
we
are
going
to
enforce
those
that
are
not
in
compliance
like
what
that
looks
like?
So,
if
that's
you
know
the
first
day
you
get
a
citation
and
then
two
weeks
later
you
are
served
with
papers
or
and
then
two
weeks
after
that
certified
mail
instead
of
just
kind
of
throwing
it
to
the
wind.
AR
Yes,
I
can
provide
you
a
timeline
or
my
plan
of
a
timeline
for,
like
I,
said
Sending,
the
initial
letters
you
know
how
that
step.
We've
done
that
in
the
past,
for
our
other
Enforcement
cases,
so
I
can
provide
a
timeline
of
how
a
case
should
be
worked
for
a
non-you,
know:
non-licensed,
short-term,
rent,
okay,.
AG
AG
AB
You,
sir
next,
is
going
to
be
a
really
short
one.
Councilor
Davis
called
me
a
few
weeks
ago
about
signs
on
right
away
and
I,
had
the
deputy
city
manager
to
put
together
kind
of
a
plan
to
get
them
off
the
right
away
and
and
Council
David.
This
is
one
where
I've
told
them.
We
want
one
thousand
dollar
fines.
AB
When
we
find
when
we
we're
out,
you
see
them
on
every
corner,
whether
it's
Obamacare
or
whatever,
or
these
little
signs
and
so
we're
out
to
find
who's,
putting
them
out,
but
because
we're
going
around
collecting
them
and
and
and
if
I
have
to
go
to
court
and
stand
before
the
record
is
Judge
myself
I
plan
to
do
that.
But
we
need
maximum
fines
when
we
catch
these
people,
and
so
I've
asked
her
to
work
on
it.
AP
Okay,
Mississippi
manager-
thank
you
for
that.
Preface
we,
of
course,
have
through
throughout
the
pandemic,
have
had
issues
with
cleanliness
in
our
city.
City
has,
of
course,
invested
well
over
10
million
dollars
with
the
cleanup
efforts
when
in
assisting
public
works
with
pickup
and
and
those
kinds
of
things.
AP
I
have
talked
with
the
police
chief
regarding
assisting
us
with
littering
and
making
cases,
as
the
city
manager
has
already
indicated,
and
so
there
is
going
to
be
a
zero
tolerance
approach
in
terms
of
issuing
citations
for
those
persons
who
are
caught
littering
and
then,
of
course,
even
when
we
get
to
the
point
of
identifying
those
who
are
dumping
and
illegal
dumping
in
those
various
areas,
and
so
that
thousand
dollar
fine
is
going
to
hit
them
in
the
pocket
and
our
cameras
I
think
are
going
to
help
us
with
that.
AP
We
of
course
have
started
an
aggressive
effort
with
our
our
quality
control
team
and,
as
you
know,
those
are
our
employees
who
go
out
on
the
weekends
in
the
various
districts
and
they
are
putting
together
work,
orders
and
any
violations.
AP
But
the
priority
is:
let's
get
those
signs,
because
all
that
does
is
continue
to
clutter
our
city.
It
looks
worse
even
though,
even
when
we
have
litter
all
over
the
place
and
then
you
have
the
sign,
then
you
have
the
tires
all
of
those
things
that
we're
dealing
with
and
so
right
now
we're
going
to
continue
with
a
progressive.
You
know,
move
of
removing
these
signs,
and
so
just
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
we're
on
that's
ongoing
and
we're
continuing
so
Council.
B
D
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
and
I
will
I
will
be
remiss
if
I
didn't,
say
d
Armstrong
had
called
me
and
it
was
sometime
last
year.
She
wanted
to
do
a
special
report
because
and
counselor
Davis
and
I
spoke
about
this
issue
prior
to
him
speaking
to
you,
but
she
wanted
to
do
a
special
report
because
it's
flooded
everywhere,
you
know
and
I
know
what
you
said.
As
far
as
how
we
go
out.
D
AK
D
Also
have
the
same
efforts
being
done,
but
I
do
I
would
like
us
to
do
some
type
of
PSA
with
the
Armstrong,
because
she
really
wanted
to
do
a
story
in
reference
to
these
signs,
but
not
only
on
the
right
of
ways.
We
have
signs
on
telephone
poles.
D
We
we
just
have
signs
everywhere
and
also,
sadly,
we
have
certain
signs
that
are
put
up
say
for
Realty
and
you
can
see
graffiti
on
them
now
like
game
right
there
coming
into
Revelation,
Mission
and
I'm,
tired
of
it,
and
it
needs
to
come
down,
but
coming
into
our
church,
we
got
Crips
up
on
the
sign,
Selling
Houses
in
the
subdivision.
Those
things
need
to
be
addressed
too.
So
it's
multi,
you
know
fasted.
Yes,
the
signs
on
the
right-of-way,
but
signs
that
we
see
graffiti.
D
We
need
to
reach
out
to
those
individuals
and
have
them
to
remove
that,
because
what's
going
on,
is
those
individuals
in
these
gangs?
Are
tagging
neighborhoods?
So
we
need
to
remove
that
too.
That's
a
way
to
clean
our
neighborhoods
and
take
back
our
neighborhoods
from
some
of
the
gang
issues
and
then
also
on
the
telephone
post.
That's
illegal,
you
know
we
should
not
have
them
on
the
telephone
post
too.
D
So
if
we
can
address
those
three
issues
and
I
know
it's
predominantly
the
ones
with
the
the
game
issues
predominantly
within
the
south
in
the
east
side,
but
in
reference
to
those
telephone
poles.
If
we
can
get
those
signs
down
too.
AP
Absolutely
and
we'll
just
want
people
to
know
that
as
you're
investing
and
paying
spending
money
on
those
signs
and
you're
putting
them
on
our
city,
property
you're
wasting
your
money
because
they
will
be
removed
and
destroyed.
Counselor.
AL
Davis,
yes,
city
manager
and
I
had
I
had
a
great
conversation
on
this,
and
he
understood
right
away
and
both
he
and
I
were
on
the
on
the
same
page
with
this,
and
he
told
me
he
was
going
to
look
into
it
and
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
thanks
for
taking
action
on
this
Deputy
city
manager,
Goodwin
and
the
others
involved.
AL
Thank
you
for
coming
up
with
with
being
a
little
more
aggressive
on
this,
because
it
is
a
it
reflects
the
character
of
our
community
and
allowing
these
people
to
do
what
they're
doing
and,
and
you
know,
and
they
know
they're
getting
away
with
it
right
now,
but
looks
like
we're
going
to
tighten
it.
Tighten
it
up
a
little
bit,
but
do
you
see
all
those
heads
shaking
up?
Mr,
Broadwater
I
see
you,
you
see
all
those
hair
shaking
out
there,
yeah
they're
with
us
too.
AL
They
know
and
I
know
five
of
my
constituents
you're
probably
going
to
get
a
call
from,
and
and
and
thank
you
as
well,
but
I
I
just
want
to
thanks
for
bringing
that
to
the
Forefront
and
all
those
involved.
U
I'm
not
sure
to
whom
to
address
this,
but
I
had
a
someone
call
me
the
other
day
and
he
was
complaining
about
all
of
the
signs
in
his
neighborhood
and
he
asked
me:
could
he
take
him
up?
Is
there
any
kind
of
Regulation
that
says
a
private
citizen
can't
take
them
up
and
they
were
the
in
the
insurance
and
the
Realty
and
all
of
those
kinds
of
signs?
Is
there
a
problem
with
with
well.
U
AG
Yeah
I
would
say
let
the
City
personnel
do
it,
because
it
may
be
a
danger
on
on
a
certain
sign
or
device
and
I'd.
Let
the
professionals
if
he
could
call
3-1-1
yeah,
let
them
handle
it
now
private
person
taking
something
else
off
somebody
else's
private
property.
That's
another
matter!
Well,
that'll
be
a
private
dispute,
but
I
would
let
the
city
folks
get
it
off
of
the
right
of
way
because
there
might
be
a
danger
involved
that
they
don't
know
about.
That's.
U
He
also
volunteered
to
go
to
work
for
you
and
be
one
of
the
people
who
pick
up
these
signs,
but
okay,
I'll
I'll
pass
that
along.
Thank
you.
AB
The
questions
thank
you
and
next
we
have
Municipal
Court
Clerk
Reginald
Thompson,
and
this
may
be
his
first
appearance
for
this
body,
since
he
has
become
Municipal,
Court
Clerk
clerk
Thompson.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
too
and
mayor.
We
have
a
former
council
member
in
the
audience
as.
AB
Q
Good
afternoon,
all
like
you
said,
Reginald
Thompson
clerk,
Municipal
Court
good
to
be
before
you
all
today
to
present
what
I've
done
the
past
two
years
now
in
the
clerk's
office,
going
to
give
you
an
overview
of
2021
2022.,
my
chief
Deputy
is
Wendy
Lewis.
The
assistant
chief
Deputy
is
a
Heather
givensy
behind
me
here,
and
the
finance
manager
is
also
behind
me.
Justin
Allen.
Q
Okay,
me
and
the
man
the
other
day
we
were
in
the
elevator
and
I
said
mayor
I
think
that
we
were
called
the
second
business
office
in
the
government
center
at
the
the
first
one
is
they
said
it's
a
probate
court.
They
do
a
lot
of
things
there,
but
in
2021
we
had
a
9
378
people
that
came
citizens
that
came
in
to
use
the
municipal
court
and
for
2022.
Q
We
served
11
352
citizens
there
and
you
asked
us
how
do
we
keep
up
with
that?
We
have
a
sign-in
sheet
there
at
the
front
counter
and
we
ask
everybody
to
sign
in,
but
we
do
have
occasions
that
some
people
don't
sign
in.
We
may
be
missing,
probably
two
to
five
hundred
people
per
year.
Sometimes
we
do
do
Court
every
day.
We
do
civil
every
day
and
we
do
a
criminal
court
on
Monday
Tuesday
evening,
Wednesday
and
Fridays.
Q
But
what
we
do,
if
you
don't
know
what
we
do
in
the
Municipal
Court,
what
we
do
basically
is
dispossessory
warrants
and
money
judgments,
and
that
is
for
the
landlord
tenant
relationships
and
it
can
range
for
a
dispossessed
reward.
It's
44
dollars
and
if
then,
if
they
get
a
money
judgment
that
money
judgment
could
range
anywhere
from.
Q
Forty
six
dollars
to
sixty
one
dollars
depending
on
what
that
landlord
wants
and
back
rent
from
their
tenant.
Then
we
also
do
civil
suits
a
Max
of
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
and
and
if
the
person
the
plaintiff
gets
a
judgment
in
that
civil
suit,
then
they
can
do
a
garnishment
there
in
office
and
with
the
garnishments.
What
we
do
are
continuing
garnishments
those
are
through
the
person's
job.
We
do
Bank
garnishments,
that's
a
one-time
through
the
banks.
Q
They
can
do
all
of
them
if
they
don't
know
what
a
person
where
they
bank
at
and
then
we
also
do.
The
10-day
demands
and
the
sheriff's
department
handles
those
10-day
demands
where
they
go
out
and
try
to
collect
the
money
from
a
business
owner,
then
we
also
do
the
rid
of
possessions.
Those
are
basically
that
the
Buy
Here
Pay
Here
places
and
your
rent
to
own
places,
and
then
we
also
do
Warren
applications
a
lot
of
times
they
come
in.
Q
They
want
to
Warrant,
take
out
a
warrant
on
somebody.
We
don't
do
that.
What
we
do
is
the
warrant,
applications
and
they're
twenty
dollars
to
do
the
one
application,
then,
once
they
get
before
the
judge,
if
the
judge
grants
them
the
warrant,
then
they
can
do.
K
Q
That
way,
and
then
we
also
do
criminal
warrants
and
citations
with
the
sheriff's
department
and
with
a
fishing
game,
and
one
thing
about
it.
The
what
you're
gonna
see
show
you
later
on
is
that
citations
have
really
picked
up
since
the
share
of
countrymen
as
taking
over
and
giving
you
a
a
bar
graph
of
what
what
we've
done
for
2021-2022
as
for
dispossessed
rewards,
as
you
see
for
2021
almost
did
5
000,
but
you
know
it
was.
Q
Was
the
moratorium
for
2021.
keep
that
in
mind
for
2022
part
of
the
moratorium,
but
it
got
back
to
normal
and
we're
we're
back
on
track,
as
we
usually
have
done
with
dispossession.
Once
dispossession
warrants
are
probably
probably
70
percent
of
what
we
do
there
in
the
office.
Then
we
also
you
see.
Q
The
civil
suits
a
little
over
a
thousand
for
2021
and
the
same
they're
right
there
together
for
2022
garnersmiths,
or
not
that
many
less
than
a
thousand
on
both
of
those
for
20
21
2022
same
for
the
written
possessions
and
warrant
applications
that
you
can
see,
not
that
many
that
come
through
the
clerk,
Municipal
Court's
office,
give
you
what
we
took
in
2021
civil
money
take
in
and
then
we're
also
giving
you
what
we
disperse
out
the
Spurs
out
is
just
to
the
the
State
entities
and
local
entities
that
we
disperse
money
out
to
these
are
not
included
in
our
garnishments
at
all
and
these
funds
that
we
disperse
out
yeah.
Q
Q
And
then
for
2022
it
was
an
increase
showing
you
what
we
received
in
to
the
municipal
court
and
distribute
out,
and
this
is
who
we
distribute
out
to
for
the
Civil
funds.
As
you
can
see,
Columbus
consolidated
government,
then
we
have
the
gsccca.
Q
Gets
their
percentage
then
the
Muskogee
County
Law
Library.
That's
there
on
the
eighth
floor.
They
get
this
percentage.
Then
the
office
of
dispute
resolution,
that's
where
the
mediation
comes
in,
they
get
their
percentage
of
the
silver
money
and
then
the
sheriff's
retirement
fund
of
Georgia
also
gets
their
percentage.
Q
Something
unique
about
the
criminal
money
that
we
take
in
every
month,
as
you
can
see
for
2021
2010
22.
Everything
that
we
take
in
for
criminal
money
has
to
be
distributed
back
out
to
the
different
entities.
No
Criminal
Mind
is
kept.
Q
And
I
give
you
the
list
of
who
would
give
out
the
criminal
money
to
again
Columbus
Consolidated
Government
gets
the
majority
on
both
civil
and
Criminal
gsccca,
the
Muskogee
County
Law
Library,
the
peace
officers
annuity
and
benefit
fund,
and
then
the
sheriff's
retirement
fund
of
Georgia.
Q
Then
there's
the
I
want
you
to
see
the
yearly
contributions
that
are
given
to
the
Columbus
consolidated
government
for
civil
and
criminal.
As
you
can
see
for
2021
it
was
131
000,
then
for
2022,
169
000.
and
for
criminal.
It
was
79
000
for
2021
and
then
you
can
see
the
increase
of
almost
double
for
2022,
and
that
is
the
sheriff's
department
out
here.
Writing
these
citations
doing
their
job.
D
D
Transparents
I
did
have
a
question
in
reference
to
victims,
witness
how
much?
If,
if
you
have
that
number,
how
much
money
do
you
allocate
towards
victims?
Witness
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people?
Don't
know
that
that
portion
that
you
know
you
actually
have
that
money
come
out
of
your
budget,
your
what
you
receive.
Q
It
not
only
comes
out
of
mind
also
the
court
Superior
Court's
Office,
also
so
that
money
hard
to
say
how
much
is
in
there,
but
it
comes
out
of
that
office
of
the
dispute
resolution.
It's
a
part
of
that
that
fund
there
yeah.
D
I
D
And
I
know
that
we
send
so
much
money
back
to
the
state
because
those
victims,
don't
you
know,
request
those
funds
and
I
know
that's
something
that
we
probably
need
to
talk
about.
Sadly,
because
we've
had
a
lot
of
murders
and
a
lot
of
incidents
and
families,
you
know
the
the
one
that
was
the
kids
that
was
killed
on
Steam
Mill
Road.
They
could
have
benefited
from
those
victim
services,
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
that
if
you
don't
use
those
funds,
we
send
those
funds
back
to
the
state.
Q
J
Great
job,
sir
thanks
sir,
you
explained
I
just
wanted
for
my
understanding
on
your
monies
that
you
receive
and
the
monies
that
you
disperse
what's
left
over.
You
get
to
use
that
in
your
office.
J
Q
No,
we
don't
use
any
of
that
money
like
that.
Okay,
no,
the
money
like
say
anything
I
didn't
include
the
garnishments
that
are
paid
out
monthly,
so
that
is
part
of
that.
Those
funds,
also
that
are
brought
in
none
of
the
money
is,
is
kept
for
us
to
use
in
any
kind
of
way
like.
Q
J
Q
Start
all
over
again:
we
don't
none
of
that.
If
anything
is
left
over
the
judge.
Sometimes,
if
it's
old
has
cases
that
may
be
from
2012
or
something
like
this
you're
now
you're,
looking
at
what
13
what
11
years
ago
now,
and
if
he's
he
has
to
give
the
okay,
you
know
what
to
do
with
those
funds
and
he
would
distribute
out
probably
some
some
local
charity
or
something
like
that.
Okay,.
J
I
went
to
Atlanta
one
year,
I
won't
say
where
I
was
but
today
benefit
and
somebody
donated
some
leftover
funds.
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
how
this
takes
place.
That's.
AB
So,
thank
you,
sir
okay
appreciate
you
mayor.
The
final
update
is
from
the
Trade
Center
Haley
Tillery
exec
executive
director
of
the
Columbus
Georgia
Convention
and
Trade
Center,
hello,.
Z
Everyone
first
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
letting
me
update
the
city,
council
and
citizens
of
Columbus
on
the
business
of
the
Columbus
Georgia
Convention
and
Trade
Center
each
year
is
my
desire
to
let
you
know
about
the
success
of
the
events
that
we
bring
to
Columbus
and
to
let
you
know
about
some
of
the
opportunities
that
continue
to
improve
the
experience
for
all
of
our
guests
due
to
having
to
reschedule
a
few
times
due
to
City
council's
agenda.
Z
This
will
be
a
recap
on
FY
22,
but
don't
worry,
I
will
go
fast
and
also
give
you
a
preview
of
a
very
successful
FY
23,
so
we
can
get
caught
back
up
and
to
see
if
you
have
any
questions
before
I
begin.
This
presentation
today
I
have
to
express
that
these
results
would
not
and
could
not
happen
without
each
and
every
Trade
Center
employee.
It
just
could
not
happen.
Z
This
team
truly
has
to
work
together
from
being
a
business
that
is
now
open,
seven
days
a
week,
irregular
hours,
weekly
and
truly
understanding
the
importance
of
hospitality
for
this
city.
I
also
want
to
give
credit
to
the
many
partners
who
also
make
the
experience
for
our
guests
successful
and
that,
as
you
know,
includes
visit
Columbus,
the
Sports
Council
Columbus
State
University,
the
River
Center
Civic,
Center,
uptown
Columbus,
and
many
of
the
department
heads
that
have
been
here
today
to
execute
the
results
that
I'm
about
to
share.
Z
It
truly
takes
a
city
that
has
the
same
vision
of
service
hospitality,
tourism
and
our
desire
to
create
remarkable
experiences
so
recovery
year.
That's
what
this
was
supposed
to
be.
However,
it
was
a
record
break-in
year
we
still
had
a
very
strategic
goal
to
have
498
events
that
we
had
a
total
of
600
events
855
event
days
over
169
000
attendees
that
walked
through
our
building
and
then
our
space
rental
Revenue
was
1.4
million
over
the
net
profit
you
see
here
is
actually
more.
Z
We
ended
up
at
1.5
million
in
total
net
profit
for
the
year
and
every
month,
working
with
visit
Columbus,
we
will
get
our
economic
impact
numbers
so
for
this
fiscal
year
it
was
over
6.6
million.
That's
why
we
exist
to
serve
our
citizens
to
serve
our
people
and
to
tell
people
why
Columbus
is
truly
a
great
place
to
have
events
I
want
to
share
this,
so
we
do
something
at
the
Trade
Center,
where
I
call
it's
p,
plus
Q
equals
re
and
most
people.
Z
If
you
go
around
and
ask
what
the
business
mission
statement
is
it's
hard
to
recite
a
paragraph
So
we
make
it
simple.
P
is
the
people.
Q
is
the
quality
you
put
those
two
together,
you
create
remarkable
experiences.
We
had
surveys
that
came
in
from
our
guests
and
for
the
fiscal
year
our
planning
scored
a
97
event
day
and
92
FNB
and
95
post
event,
97
and
overall
for
the
year
a
97.,
so
I
want
to
highlight
I.
Think
pictures
tell
the
best
story.
Z
Pictures
allow
us
to
see
some
of
these
events
that
come
to
reality
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
industry
standards
predicted
and
prepared
us
to
this
to
be
a
recovery
year
as
I
mentioned.
However,
it
really
goes
back
to
the
support
of
the
city
council,
the
mayor,
the
city
manager,
to
trust
the
decisions
I
was
making
during
covid
for
us
to
operate
in
a
business
in
a
safe
way.
Z
Yes,
we
took
risk,
but
we
did
it
safely
and
I'm
grateful
for
this
community
in
supporting
that
so
some
fun
stuff
that
we've
never
had
before,
because
you
got
to
get
creative,
we
had
a
B2
fighting
series
that
took
place
not
to
mention
the
Georgia
congressional
luncheon
that
finally
came
back
to
Columbus
Georgia
ndia
we've
been
working
with
this
group
out
of
Washington
DC.
This
was
their
first
event
back
since
coved
and
took
place
here
in
Columbus.
Z
The
Georgia
thespians,
we're
so
glad
to
have
them
and
I
can't
go
throughout
our
presentation
without
spotlighting
them,
but
this
was
their
first
time
back
during
this
fiscal
year
when
they
went
virtual
one
year
during
the
pandemic.
African
land
Force
Summit.
If
you
don't
recall
back
in
March,
we
had
an
International
Convention,
where
every
Superior
leader
from
all
the
countries
in
Africa
chose
Columbus.
They
could
have
went
anywhere
else
in
this
nation,
but
they
came
here.
Z
We
also
had
a
dinosaur
adventure
because
we
want
to
have
diverse
events.
We
know
that
our
community
wants
more
events
that
focus
on
family
dance
and
stars
of
Columbus.
It's
important
to
focus
on
our
non-profits
in
our
community
and
I
think
we
do
a
great
job
in
helping
us
be
in
an
affordable
location
where
they
are
bringing
those
awareness
issues
to
our
citizens.
Z
The
Columbus,
uncf
Mayors,
Mass,
ball,
I'm,
sure
you'll
see
some
familiar
faces
in
this
slide,
and
we
also
have
that
one
coming
up
very
soon
again:
safety
in
our
schools
conference.
We
know
that
this
is
a
topic
that
is
so
important
for
our
community
and
we
have
created
such
a
great
relationship
with
this
organization
and
we
look
forward
to
the
possibility
of
them
coming
back
in
2024.
Z
The,
Ninth,
Annual,
Phoenix,
City,
mayor's
ball,
and
so
that
was
just
a
glimpse
because
there's
so
many
remember,
it
was
over
600
events,
but
FY
23
I
got
to
show
you
a
glance
on
where
we're
at
we
had
beat
the
heat
pickleball
tournament.
This
was
our
first
ability
to
work
with
the
Sports
Council
on
how
to
have
a
inside
pickleball
tournament
due
to
the
heat
that
takes
place
here
in
Columbus
Georgia
in
the
summertime.
We
also
had
the
Georgia
Democratic
party
convention
that
was
able
to
come
and
be
a
part
of
our
building.
Z
This
was
a
great
conference
back
in
January,
and
hopefully
you
saw
the
impact
some
of
you
attended
the
Georgia
Association
of
Realtors
convention.
We
were
so
glad
this
is
another
conference
and
because
of
the
planning
that
took
place
during
covid,
because
we
just
didn't
sit
back
and
say
well,
we'll
just
wait
for
the
business
to
come
to
us.
Our
team
made
a
plan
and
they
executed
it.
Z
I
could
have
come
up
with
a
plan
all
day
long,
but
if
I
don't
have
the
team
actually
seeing
the
vision
seeing
the
mission,
none
of
this
would
have
happened,
and
then
we
saw
our
wedding
venue
so
not
to
mention
we
are
still
working
with
Brides
In
fact
over
80
weddings
I
do
want
to
before
I
go
to
this
next
slide.
I
do
want
you
to
also
know
that
we
are
not
stopping
right
now
in
our
building.
We
have
the
Georgia
tactical
officers.
Last
week,
Georgia
911
and
the
Georgia
Cattlemen
came
back
to
us.
Z
We
have
create
creative
South
in
a
few
months
that
are
going
to
grow
their
event
by
coming
to
the
Trade
Center,
the
Georgia
Association
of
Educators
water
professionals,
Delta
Kappa
Gamma,
the
Georgia
funeral
conference,
the
Georgia
Republican
State
Convention,
with
over
3
000
people
in
June,
the
Miss
Georgia
conference,
a
competition.
The
Prince
Hall
Grand
Lodge,
Georgia
police
and
fire
games
in
Georgia,
District,
Exchange
Club,
just
to
name
a
few
until
the
end
of
June.
Now
this
is
this
is
a
remarkable
and
again
our
team
is
doing
this.
Z
Not
just
me
is
a
trace
center
team.
We
did
have
a
complete
re-haul
of
our
catering
Department.
This
took
place
in
December.
We
are
now
with
Oakview
hospitality
and
we
have
a
new
executive
chef,
chef,
Brian
Gilmore.
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
y'all
were
not
able
to
come
to
our
taste,
the
difference
event
because
it
was
during
Council,
but
I
will
tell
you
hopefully
soon
your
experienced
his
amazing
talent.
Z
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
with
more
people
coming
to
the
Trade
Center
it,
it
creates
more
projects
that
I
cannot
forget
about,
and
one
of
one
thing
that's
been
talked
a
lot
about
today
is
garages,
so
we
are
going
to
work
on
the
next
steps
on
renovating
our
parking
garage.
I
have
had
great
conversations
with
Ryan
Pruitt,
also
with
Pam
Hodge,
on
the
next
steps
on
what
that
looks
like
for
us.
This
is
actually
a
project
that
was
supposed
to
take
place
many
many
years
ago,
and
now
is
the
time
we're
ready.
Z
The
connector
bridge
I
haven't
forgot
about
that.
So
I
am
so
excited
that
we
do
have
our
hotels
opening
up
and
that
the
Hampton
is
now
open.
I
do
expect
very
soon
to
begin.
The
conversations
again
on
getting
that
connector
from
the
Marriott
to
the
Trade
Center
because
believe
it
or
not,
that
connector
bridge
will
win
so
much
more
business.
Just
to
have
that
out
there
very
gracious
for
the
arp.
We
will
be
getting
a
new
HVAC
system.
A
lot
of
our
HVAC
units
are
original
I'm,
saying
Again
original
from
1979.
Z
So
it
is
time
to
make
sure
that
that
is
up
to
par
with
code,
as
well
as
providing
the
services
where
I
know
that
when
people
come
in
they're
going
to
have
air
conditioned
and
heat
I,
don't
want
to
ever
have
to
worry
about
that.
Another
critical
issue
and
I've
y'all
heard
this
throughout
many
presentations
today,
but
it
is
an
issue
at
the
Trade.
Center
is
our
security
system.
Z
We
are
so
grateful
that
we
are
on
the
process
working
with
Lisa
Goodwin
in
the
camera
project,
on
having
an
updated
camera
system
in
our
building.
With
that
many
people
coming
through
our
doors
every
single
day
and
so
many
exits
throughout
our
building
and
entrances
in
our
buildings.
It
is
hard
to
manage
to
make
sure
that
we
are
a
safe
facility.
My
number
one
thing
not
only
is
serving
the
people
but
making
sure
our
employees
and
the
citizens
when
they
come
there
are
safe,
and
so
this
security
system
is
vital.
Z
It's
something
that
you're
going
to
hear
me.
Advocate
more
and
more
and
I
think
I
need
to
because
I
don't
want
to
be
in
a
situation
where
we,
where
it's
too
late.
So
we're
working
on
that
as
well
as
as
well
as
fiber
optic
I
got
to
get
a
shout
out
to
our
ID
Department
I.
Don't
think
they
get
enough
recognition
on
a
daily
basis.
They
are
always
making
sure
that
we
are
where
we
need
to
be,
and
one
thing
that
we
are
are
working
on.
Z
Is
our
internet
if
you've
been
in
our
building,
there's
a
lot
of
bricks
and
we're
trying
to
work
at
the
ability
to
have
high
stream
internet,
because
that
is
an
expectation
from
our
clients,
especially
since
we've
gone
through
the
pandemic.
Most
of
our
conferences
have
a
hybrid
or
streaming
component,
and
we
cannot
be
obsolete
by
having
internet
that
could
or
may
not
work
and
then,
with
anything
cosmetic
updates.
Our
carpet
is
now
outbated.
Our
chairs,
which
I
hear
complaints
from
some
of
you
at
times
about
our
chairs
and
it's
true.
Z
Z
AL
Can
tell
I
can
tell
the
the
enthusiasm
in
your
spirit,
really
resonates.
So
thanks
for
all
the
good
things,
you
know
what
I'm
excited
about
I
know
the
city
managers
working
on
a
plan
that
I
see
great
things
in
the
future,
especially
with
the
Liberty
District
theater,
and
you
know,
with
our
Civic
Center
and
the
Trade
Center,
and
now
the
Liberty
District
theater
I
mean
I,
see
something
there,
some
Synergy
that
could
happen,
and
now
you
talk
about
this
guy
that
can
really
put
on
spread
or
put
out
a
spread.
AL
It's
it's
just
top-notch
I
mean
that's
that's
exciting,
but
being
able
to
do
that
and
to
offer
certain.
You
know
aspects
of
the
value
that
the
city
brings
to
the
table
at
the
Trade
Center
Civic
Center.
Now
the
the
Liberty
District
theater
I
think
there's
just
something
there.
Mississippi
manager
I
know
that
I'm
just
excited
about
what
he's
doing
and
that
we
finally
got
to
that
point
that
good
things
are
happening
there,
but
keep
up
the
good
work
and
I
can
tell
you
love
what
you
do.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
Haley
I'm,
so
happy
that
you
were
finally
finally
able
to
get
on
the
agenda.
D
D
I
D
Takes
you
know
takes
place
to
make
sure
that
you
transition
from
you
know
one
event
to
the
next
and
on
Friday
I
think
you
said
you
had
an
event
that
started
at
three
o'clock.
Yes,
so
we
had
to
get
out
of
the
room
and
out
of
that
area,
so
you
can
flip
it,
but
I
did
want
to
find
out
about
the
cleaning.
Is
it
like
a
specific
like
at
the
Civic
Center
I
think
they
have
a
dedicated
cleaning
crew?
D
Do
you
actually
have
a
dedicated
cleaning
crew
at
the
Trade
Center
I'm,
trying
to
figure
out
you.
Z
Bring
out
a
very
great
Point,
now
the
Civic
Center
they
do
have
positions,
that's
listed
as
custodian
type
roles
strictly,
and
so
one
one
thing
that
we're
looking
at,
because
cleanliness
is
so
important
and
with
the
amount
of
time
that
we're
flipping
right
now,
my
operations
team,
which
I
just
if
y'all
see
them
they
have
the
blue
shirts
on
please
applaud
them,
give
them
a
handshake,
tell
them
they're
doing
a
good
job.
Z
But
now
we're
seeing
and
one
thing
I'm
proposing
in
our
budget
this
coming
up
year
is
to
actually
have
a
department
of
employees
that
can
focus
just
on
the
cleanliness
of
the
building
to
where
they
may
not
want
to
flip
a
room
and
flip
tables
and
set
chairs
and
do
risers
and
staging,
but
they're
going
to
focus
on
making
sure
the
bathrooms
are
presentable.
Making
sure
that
from
that
huge
luncheon
was
there
any
debris
that
was
left
on
the
floor,
so
we
can
vacuum
it
and
get
it
ready
for
the
next
group
that's
coming
in.
Z
So
that
is
a
knee.
That's
a
priority
right
now,
so
you
hit
spot
on
on
something
that
I'm
looking
at
because
we're
at
a
level
now
where
the
business
that's
coming
in.
We
do
need
designated
employees
where
their
Prime
responsibility
will
be
cleanliness
versus
trying
to
balance
having
to
set
a
room,
flip
a
room
and
make
sure
the
space
is
clean.
At
the
same
time,
because
majority
of
our
events
are
ending
around
midnight
and
then
we
have
approximately
six
hours,
seven
hours
to
get
the
building
flip
for
the
next
event
coming
in
right.
Z
So
thank
you
for
recognizing.
D
Z
Z
Alive,
it's
still
there
and
research
has
also
shown
that
having
people
visibly
cleaning
during
all
times
of
the
day
gives
people
a
sense
of
safeness
and
calmness
when
they're
attending
their
events.
So
that's
another
thing:
it's
just
that
perception
of
not
just
seeing
someone
going
in
there
in
between
times,
but
actually
have
them
physically
present
cleaning
at
all
times.
So,
thank
you.
No
thank
you.
L
It
I
guess
I've
just
taken
for
granted
for
over
the
last
seven
years
that
everything's
going
to
be
great
every
time
you
go
down
there
and
it
it
just.
It
is,
and
I've
heard
from
so
many
people
that
how
much
they've
enjoyed
the
whatever
event
it
was
that
they
attended.
So
you
you've,
set
the
bar
high
and
I
think
I
agree
with
Bruce.
We
made
the
right
decision.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
you
do
down
there.
Thank.

I
saw
this
story
in
alleged
Inquirer
about
Muscogee
County,
a
Muskogee
Corner
forced
to
use
U-Haul
to
transport
bodies,
blames
outdated
equipment,
and
they
called
me
yesterday
for
quote
regarding
that
matter,
and
I
did
send
them
a
quote.
But
I
wanted
you
to
be
clear.
That
and-
and
you
know
whether
it's
been
the
police
department,
the
Sheriff's
Office
Fire
EMS-
if
they
have
come
to
us
with
an
emergency,
a
purchase
or
otherwise.
AB
You
know
that
we
handle
that,
and
so
I
had
Finance
director
to
look
at
fiscal
year,
2022
2023,
to
see
if
there's
ever
been
a
request
for
a
van
transport
vehicle
and
there
has
not
been
and
I
think,
there's
one
in
the
current
budget.
That's
going
to
be
brought
forward
to
you,
but
I
want
to
be
clear.
I.
AB
Now
as
an
emergency
purchase
situation,
we
don't
have
to
wait
until
the
budget,
in
other
words,
because
we're
better
than
that,
and
so
I
want
to
make
clear
to
you
that
it's
not
that
we
have
not
approved
anything.
There's
been
no
request
and
if
there's
a
request
that
comes
forward-
and
you
show
me
a
U-Haul
on
the
front
page,
where
you're
taking
bodies
to
Atlanta
I'm
going
to
get
you
a
van
and
we're
going
to
bring
it
to
council
as
an
emergency
purchase.
AB
U
B
U
Mr
city
manager
I
since
the
renaming
or
redesignation
as
they're,
calling
it
now
for
being
to
Fort
Moore
about
what
the
city
is
going
to
do
and
I
heard
Deputy
city
manager
Hyde
say
that
you
are
working.
I
AB
U
U
That
okay
and
then
Mr
Mayor
I,
would
like
to
request
I
think
I
sent
to
the
counselors
the
report
that
we
got
from
the
newly
selected
recorders
court
judge
on
some
of
the
changes
that
they
have
made
in
Recorder's
Court
in
their
activities,
as
well
as
in
their
facilities
and
so
forth,
and
I'd
like
to
request
a
a
report
from
him
in
the
next
couple
of
meetings.
U
B
P
Good
afternoon

Mayor
and

the
clerk's
