A
B
B
These
events
actually
began
about
10
years
ago
and
former
mayor
Theresa
Tomlinson
used
to
hold.
Let's
talk
with
the
mayor,
and
so
when
we
took
office
she
had
termed
out.
B
We
thought
it
was
a
great
way
to
continue
transparency,
and
it
was
a
great
way
to
continue
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
interact
with
the
public
and
let
the
public
interact,
not
only
with
the
also
with
the
department,
heads
and
individuals
that
are
in
charge
of
the
Departments
of
our
our
our
community
kova
gotten
away
a
couple
years
ago,
and
this
is
the
first
time
we've
had
an
opportunity
to
get
back
together
in
person
and
even
though
we
streamed
a
couple
live.
B
We
did
a
few
live
stream
on
these.
These
issues,
something's
missing
and
people
wanted
to
be
able
to
look
at
their
their
elected
leaders
and
look
at
individual
in
the
eye
and
be
able
to
ask
their
questions
share
their
concerns,
and
so
what
we
are
doing
today
is
the
same
thing
we've
done
in
the
past
and
that's
trying
to
make
sure
that
our
department
heads
are
here.
B
So
if
you
have
a
question,
pretty
good
chance,
you're
going
to
be
able
to
get
an
answer
in
the
event-
and
there
may
be
some
time
some
occasions
where
you
ask
something-
they
cannot
answer
right
here,
but
they'll
get
your
information
and
we'll
make
sure
that
we
get
an
answer
and
answer
to
you.
But
we
do
have
some
of
our
elected
officials
here,
councilor
Bruce
Huff
is
here:
we've
got
councilor
John
house
and
his
wife
Marilyn.
B
They
are
here
and
I,
don't
see,
I,
don't
know
if
we've
got
any
other
elected
officials
here
right
now.
But
what
I'm
going
to
do
is:
oh
he's,
Joanne
Joanne,
that's
our
Council
elect
for
district
seven
Joanne
kogel
is,
is
Hey,
listen,
You'll,
Be,
My
Age.
Once
yes,
anyway,
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
B
One
of
the
first
things
I
want
to
do
is
introduce
our
city
manager,
Isaiah
Hughley,
and
allow
him
to
make
a
few
quick
comments
and
then
he's
going
to
let
you
know
who's
here,
representing
the
different
departments
in
the
community
and
Mike
back
and
we'll
get
started
on
some
of
your
questions.
Thank.
A
You
Mr,
Mayor
and
good
afternoon
to
each
of
you
and
we've
not
had
one
of
these
in
a
while
and
it's
about
time
and
we're
glad
to
see
those
who
are
here
here
and
we
want
to
answer
your
questions.
I
don't
want
to
prolong
the
time,
but
I
do
want
to
recognize
some
of
the
staff
who
are
here.
Who
will
respond
to
some
of
your
questions
that
you
may
have,
and
so,
if
you
are
a
department
head,
I
would
ask
that
you
stand
because
they
not
only
need
to
see
who
you
are.
A
But,
and
so
we
want
you
to
to
know
who
these
people
are.
We
have
Ryan
Pruitt
who's
over
inspections
and
codes,
and
so
you
know
if
they're,
dilapidated
houses
and
overgrown
weed,
it's
Ryan's.
People
who
are
out
enforcing
we've,
got
Pam
Hodge
who's,
a
deputy
city
manager
and
she's
over
a
number
of
departments,
and
when
we
have
Capital
items
to
get
done
building
construction,
you
know
she
is
one
of
the
lead
people
in
in
those
efforts.
A
We've
got
our
Wharton
Walker

Muscogee
County
Prison
and
you
see
the
State

white
uniforms.
Blue
stripes
he's
responsible
for
making
sure
that
they
do
what
they're
supposed
to
do
in
the
day-to-day
activities
out
in
the
city,
and
then
he
makes
sure
that
he
takes
care
of
them
when
they
get
back
Behind.
The
Walls
we've
got
drailed
short
one
of
our
larger
departments.
Doing
they
do
a
little
bit
of
everything
and
so
from

pot
holes

collecting
garbage
waste
recycling
to

maintenance.
A
Just
the
list
goes
on
with
her,
and
then
we
have
Nancy
Boren,
who
has
a
very
important
task
at
this
time
of
the
year.
She's

our
elections.
We

our
Fire

her
office.
We've
got
Holly,
Browder
who's,
our
Parks
and
Rec
director
we've

of
course
you

A
They

the
Metra,

You

so
all
of
these
people

I
see

Mimi
Woodson

Thank

Council
Woodson,
for
being
here
and
we've
got
people
representing
the
Sheriff's
Office,
the
police
department,
we're
glad
that
they
are
all
here.
What.
A
Those
who
are
representing
police
first
stand
up,
so
they
can
see
who
you
are
and
and
then
those
were
representing
Sheriff.
If
you
would
just
stand
up
for
a
minute-
and
so
thank
you
for
being
here
and
and
just
as
I
prepare
to
pass
the
mic
back
to
the
mayor.
A
You
know
that
we
have
a
lot
going
on
and
you
know
from
the
the
November
2021
special
purpose:
local
option
sales
tax,
where
the
voters
said
yes
to
400
million
dollars
and
we
are
constructing
a
Judicial
center
with
all
inclusive
Demolition
and
everything
else,
FF
Andes
and
everything
that
goes
along
with
it.
A
It's
200
million
dollars,
not
just
building,
but
all
the
other
things,
and
then
we've
got
another
200
million
dollars
that
we're
purchasing
vehicles
and
Equipment
across
the
board
for
all
of
our
areas
of
work
that
we
need
to
get
work
done
and
but
400
million
dollars
and
then
the
transportation
special
purpose,
local
option
sales
tax
was
approved
in
May
of
this
year
and
with
the
discretionary,
a
dollars
30
million
dollars
over
10
years.
A
The
total
we
will
collect
is
330
million
dollars
and
we're
still
collecting
money
from
the
t-spots
from
the
2012
t-splash
that
ends
December
of
this
year,
and
so
we
will
be
spending
1.1
billion
dollars
over
the
next
10
years
on
infrastructure
projects
and
roads
and
getting
things
done,
1.1
billion
dollars
and
that's
even
before
or
yeah
I'm,
not
even
including
the
80
million
dollars
that
we
received
in
American
Rescue
dollars
that
we
are
purchasing
Capital,
Equipment
new
garbage
trucks
that
are
going
to
be
not
require
inmates
to
be
on
those
trucks.
A
They're
automated
we're
doing
equipment,
we've
done
small
business
loans,
four
million
dollars
with
ARP
money.
Then
the
governor
provided
another
4.5
million
dollars
to
do
small
business
grants,
and
this
is
up
to
forty
thousand
dollars
that
small
businesses
a
platform
and
they
can
get
apply
with
using
their
rent
as
as
an
invoice
or
their
utilities
and
then
get
up
to
forty
thousand
dollars.
We're
spending
nine
million
dollars
to
give
money
to
small
business
businesses
in
our
community
that
they
don't
have
to
pay
us
back.
A
You
know
public
transit.
They
got
another
four
million
dollars
in
ARP
in
addition
to
what's
in
ARP
dollars
and
that's
in
addition
to
what's
coming
to
them
and
the
cheese
floss.
And
so
you
hear
me
mentioning
all
of
these
dollars.
I
think
I
I,
don't
know
if
it's
premature,
but
you
you
get
in
some
fire
trucks.
I
think
you're
scared
to
get
eight
and
you
may
have
already
gotten
to
and
so
new
fire
trucks,
new
ambulance
units
and
I.
A
B
Thank
you,
Mr
city
manager
and
and
and
we'll
is
the
city
manager
alluded
to.
We
we've
got
an
incredible
amount
of
momentum
in
this
community.
We've
got
a
lot
of
things.
We're
able
to
do,
but
there's
there's
still
some
major
issues
that
we
continue
to
work
on
every
day.
Crime
is
still
our
top
initiative
in
terms
of
trying
to
make
a
difference.
There
we've
we
have
spent
over
about
two
million
dollars,
I
think
through
inspections
and
codes,
tearing
down
some
of
the
dilapidated
properties
that
turn
into
drug
and
and
crime
Hangouts
in
neighborhoods.
B
So
most
money,
that's
ever
been
spent
over
a
three
year
period
in
Columbus
Georgia.
To
try
to
accomplish
that.
We've
spent
about
eight
well.
We
will
spend
a
total
of
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
technology
to
try
to
help
our
Public
Safety
individuals.
We've
got
some
major
health
initiatives.
Coming
out.
That's
going
to
try
to
make
health
care
more
available
to
people
in
underserved
areas
that
may
have
transportation
issues.
We
focus
more
on
Mental
Health.
B
The
sheriff's
office
has
done
an
outstanding
job
of
trying
to
make
sure
they're
they're,
taking
care
of
the
mental
health
of
the
folks
that
are
incarcerated
in
that
jail.
Police
Department
is
piloting
a
program
in
partnership
with
a
local
agency
to
put
a
clinician,
a
licensed
psychological
clinician
in
the
car,
so
that
when
there's
a
call
for
somebody
that
is
not
violent,
they
don't
end
up
in
jail.
B
They
go
serve
the
need
that
exists
by
trying
to
take
care
of
that
situation
by
dealing
with
it
from
a
mental
health
professional's
perspective,
we've
got,
we've
got
labor
issues.
We're
still
dealing
with
those
Council
has
done
a
great
job
they're
in
the
middle
of
of
of
going
through
a
a
pay
and
compensation
study
and
plan.
The
idea
is
to
put
us
in
a
position
where
we're
more
competitive
for
employees.
B
Listen,
the
citizens
of
Columbus
demand
good
service.
We
have
incredible
employees,
but
we
got
to
be
able
to
hire
and
retain
talent,
because
we've
got
some
great
employees.
That
would
make
great
department
heads
if
we
can
keep
them
around
long
enough,
but
if
we
don't
pay
them
competitively,
we're
not
going
to
keep
them
around
we've
we've
got.
B
We've
got
affordable
housing
issues,
the
things
that
we
talk
about
all
the
time
and
our
staff
works
on
probably
90
of
the
time
are
the
same
things
and
same
issues
that
people
are
dealing
with
throughout
the
state
of
Georgia
and
throughout
the
country.
City
manager
and
I
have
gone
through
through
some
meetings.
B
In
fact,
we
were
in
Athens
last
month
where
we
sat
with
about
eight
or
nine
Mayors
from
other
cities
in
Georgia,
and
the
interesting
thing
was
is
when
they
started
telling
some
of
their
major
issues
that
they're
dealing
with
you
could
put
a
blindfold
on.
You
wouldn't
know
what
city
that
was
talking
because
everybody's
saying
the
same
thing
now:
that's
not
a
misery,
loves
company
kind
of
deal.
B
In
almost
all
of
these
societal
issues,
you'll
see
us
rolling
out
some
things
soon
that
we
hope
is
going
to
make
a
at
least
begin
to
move
move
the
needle
a
little
bit
with
regards
to
Poverty,
trying
to
make
sure
that
people
have
an
opportunity
to
go,
get
a
job,
take
care
of
themselves
and
have
a
quality
affordable
place
to
live.
So
a
lot
of
these
things
are
are
going
on
kind
of
under
the
surface.
You
don't
see
them
out
front
every
week
at
Council
meetings,
but
they're
being
worked
on
day
in
and
day
out.
B
So
anyway,
that's
kind
of
the
snapshot
of
where
we
are.
We.
We
want
to
hear
your
questions
or
your
issues.
So
if
you
have
a
question
or
something
that
you
want
to
say,
we'd
ask
you
to
raise
your
hand
and
come
one
at
a
time
up
to
the
microphones,
Mr
Broadwater.
D
Mark
brought
what
is
Marvin
broad
would
have
seen
you
three
3004
Slippery
Rock
Court
Mr
Mayor,
the
city
manager
I.
Thank
you
all
for
doing
this.
One
of
my
question
revolves
around
disabled
parking.
D
I,
see
here
at
the
citizen
service
center
great
parking
spaces
for
those
that
have
the
plaque
out
of
the
tag,
a
disabled
tag.
What
I
am
concerned
about
and
my
question
is
the
post
office
downtown
I
noticed
that
federal
government
came
in
and
I
guess
confiscated
those
parking
spaces.
I
would
like
you
all
to
elaborate
on
that
and
also
the
disabled
parking
at
the
government.
Center
I
mean
for
a
lot
of
people,
they're,
okay,
with
it
being
out
on
the
street,
but
sometimes
those
of
us
that
are
disabled.
Sometimes
those
knees.
D
B
Well,
but
I
I
can
tell
you
that
during
the
design
and
construction
of
the
new
city
hall
and
of
the
new
judicial
building,
we'll
take
that
into
account
and
we'll
try
to
make
sure
that
we
can
address
some
of
that.
I
really
don't
know
much
about.
What's
going
on
with
the
federal
courthouse
or
the
post
office.
A
Yeah
as
I
recall
regarding
the
post
office
downtown
had
to
do
with
security
is,
is
that
right,
Deputy,
city
manager
and
so
security,
and
you
know
they've-
had
issues
with
federal
judges
and
and
all,
and
so
they
move
the
parking
or
required
that
we
do
something
with
the
parking
around
the
federal
courthouse
referred
to
it
as
the
post
office,
and
it
is
the
post
office,
but
it's
the
federal
courthouse
and
so
that
that's
the
deal
with
that
and
around
the
government
center
we
have
increased
the
number
of
disabled
parking
spaces
and
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
is
that
our
employees
are
taking
up
those
parking
spaces
and,
and
so
we
got
to
figure
out
and
of
course,
we're
going
to
be
transitioning
out
of
that
building.
A
And
you
know
it's
not
for
me
to
question
one
who
has
you
know
a
disabled
parking
sticker
but
I
see
some
of
them
and
you
know
I,
don't
know
what
the
issues
are,
but
they
park
right
around
the
building
and
they
take
up
those
spaces
and
they
go
right
into
the
building
to
work,
and
so
we
just
got
to
figure
out
how
to
deal
with
it.
E
All
right,
I
actually
came
down.
My
name's
Nancy
Glenn
I
live
on
Sharon
Avenue
2229,
Sharon,
Avenue
I
actually
came
down
to
the
government
center
to
speak
to
each
of
you.
One
day
after
we
had
a
bunch
of
trees,
get
that
were
down
in
Oakland,
Park
and
I
had
been
over
in
the
historic
district,
walking
that
night
and
I
Heard
boom
boom
boom,
and
it
did
not
sound
thinking
back.
It
did
not
sound
like
lightning
or
thunder,
and
then,
when
I
went
to
my
neighborhood,
several
trees
were
split.
E
I,
don't
know
it's
just
awful
coincidental
that
you
have
so
many
at
one
time
and
I.
It
was
frightening
that
something
is
doing
that
up
above
that.
It's
not
just
you
know
or
have
we
got
something
in
our
neighborhood.
That's
attracting
the
lightning.
E
It
was
very
scary
to
drive
back
through
that
and
if
there's
going
to
be
something
done,
maybe
about
the
trees
to
get
rid
of
them.
That
way
that
the
area
should
be
evacuated
and
I
know
this
I've,
you
know
sounded
crazy
to
people,
but
it
it
was
very
real
to
drive
back
through
the
neighborhood
and
Afraid
a
tree.
Might
fall
on
me
as
I'm
driving
down
the
road,
and
do
you
remember
this.
E
Even
came
up
there
at
the
time
I
you
were
in
a
meeting
and
Mr
Hughley
I
believe
you
were
in
a
meeting
I
think
you
were
both
there
in
meetings
and.
B
So
what
what
we
have
done
is
we've
tried
to
make
sure
that
our
Public
Works
knows,
and
they
typically
do
a
fantastic
job
that,
in
the
event,
there's
any
kind
of
lightning
storm
or
any
kind
of
wind
storm.
Whatever
causes
those
trees
to
fall,
that
we
we
get
them
fleeced
up
quick
and
they
do
an
amazing
job
of
getting
out
there
and
getting
them
up
quick.
Yes,.
E
They
they
did
get
it
cleaned
up,
but
it
was
several
trees
and
one
I
mean
a
very
short
amount
of
time.
Right.
A
B
E
B
You
you
I
think
you're.
You
were
saying
that
like,
if,
if
there
is
some
kind
of
effort
to
remove
the
trees
or
causing
the
trees
to
fall,
that
you
being
on
the
road
is,
is
a
little
bit
nerve-wracking.
When.
E
I
came
back
down
through
the
neighborhood,
it
was
scary
yeah
and
it
did
not
feel
like
a
thunderstorm
or
lightning
storm.
I.
B
Mean
it
was
just
the
other
thing
that
we
can
do
is
we
can
because
we've
got
chance
Corbett
who
monitors
our
Emergency
Management
issues
and
also
Homeland
Security
and
we'll
have
him
try
to,
and
he
typically
does
monitor
the
weather
conditions
and
any
other
conditions
in
advance
and
try
to
let
folks
know
ahead
of
time
so
that
they
won't
be
on
the
streets
during
that.
E
B
F
We
have
gone
through
lots
of
channels
for
over
a
year
or
two
also
working
with
the
historic
district,
because
it
seems
that
our
districts
are
ones
that
have
complained
the
most
and
the
ones
that
are
having
a
most
people
buying
the
airbnbs
up
to
rent
because
we're
the
park
districts
near
the
park
and
the
historic
district
is
near
downtown.
So
everybody
wants
to
be
in
that
area,
so
our
area
is
being
overpopulated
with
these
houses
and
causing
a
lot
more
problems
y'all.
We
continue
to
hear
that
you're
working
on
the
problem.
F
We've
heard
this
for
over
a
year
almost
two
years,
but
there
has
been
no
plan.
We
have
not
seen
what
has
been
done,
so
it
is
a
concern.
F
I
wanted
I'm
interested
in
some
kind
of
timeline
it
it
needs
to
be
fixed,
I
understand
it
is
a
state
problem,
it's
a
worldwide
problem,
but
in
Columbus
we
need
to
take
a
little
part
of
each
piece
of
the
ordinance
and
fix
the
little
part
and
then
go
to
the
next
part.
You
know
my
my
concern
is
in
our
neighborhoods.
F
We
would
like
to
have
some
kind
of
cap
if
other
neighborhoods
need
a
cap,
then
put
on
an
overlay
and
have
them
do
that
we
have
worked
with
Mr,
Pruitt
and
codes
and
inspection
met
with
him
many
times
he
has
worked
with
Clifton
Faye.
We
have
worked
with
our
chancellors
in
our
district
Mimi
and
Mr
Walker
Garrett,
and
we
have
sent
letters
to
each
person
in
the
counselor.
We
have
sent
emails
to
each
person
in
the
counselor.
F
C
Thank
you
mayor
and
Miss
Gordy.
Thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
and
I
appreciate
your
involvement
throughout
this
this
whole
process.
So
a
couple
weeks
ago
we
did
bring
a
short-term
rental
update
to
council,
had
some
good
discussion
with
the
council
about
the
proposed
ordinance
and
the
proposed
changes
after
that
meeting
met
internally
with
the
city
attorney's
office,
Deputy
city
manager,
Hodge
members
of
the
planning
department.
C
He
tweaks
to
the
ordinance
and
we're
working
on
finalizing
that
so
the
intent
is
still
to
bring
that
forward
to
the
planning
advisory
Commission
in
November,
and
that
would
bring
it
before
the
council,
hopefully
before
for
first
reading
before
the
end
of
the
year.
So
that's
the
current
timeline.
We
are
on.
B
So
so,
hopefully,
we
feel
confident
that
what
comes
out
of
what
comes
out
of
Mr
Mr
Pruitt's
office
will
be
something
that
we
can
hang
our
hat
on
and
kind
of
get
a
little
better
control
of
it.
Thank
you.
B
I
I
agree
and
I
and
I
think
that
right,
that's
right
and
you
may
they
may
kind
of
converge
on
one
another.
We
may
see
our
stuff
go
in
place
well
before
the
legislature
convenes
and
and
takes
this
up
because
there's
a
move.
I
know
that
Georgia
Municipal
Association,
that
the
association
of
County
commissioners
of
Georgia
is
a
big
issue
for
both
of
those
organizations.
B
F
Well,
I
just
want
to
mention
code
and
inspections.
We
worked
with
them;
they
need
extra
help
because
they
cannot
for
the
2017,
ordinance
or
2018
ordinance
that
y'all
have
passed.
They
can't
even
keep
up
with
the
150
houses
that
are
out
of
compliance
cities
losing
thousands
of
dollars,
thousands
of
dollars
every
year
and.
F
B
But
you
may
have
to
wait
an
hour
between
buses
before
you
can
catch
the
one
that,
if
you
missed
the
one
before
I,
know
Public
Works
and
what
they're
doing
they're
they're
doing
heroic
work
with
the
number
of
people
that
they
have
they
have
out.
So
so
we
we
are
looking
for
people.
If
you
know
anybody
that
wants
to
be
an
inspector,
you
send
them
to
director.
B
Thank
you
well,
I
tell
you
what,
since
we've
got
a
little
time
to
kill
I'm
going
to
ask
our
our
director
of
Elections
to
Nancy
Bourne
to
come
forward
and
just
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
you
can
expect
coming
up
on
the
on
this,
this
year's
election
early
voting
has
started
so.
G
Thank
you,
mayor,
Mr
city
manager,
I
have
here
in
front
of
me
the
QR
codes.
If
you
are
interested
in
Reading,
Constitutional,
Amendments
or
Charter
amendments
before
you
get
to
the
poll
to
vote
it's
right
here.
You
can
also
pull
up
George's,
my
voter
page
with
this
QR
code.
If
you
have
a
smartphone,
so
I'm
going
to
put
these
in
the
back
of
the
room,
please
kind
of
know
how
you
want
to
vote
before
you
get
there.
G
It's
going
to
be
13
swipes
on
the
bmd,
if
you're
not
sure,
and
so
it's
taking
a
little
bit
of
a
Time
longer
time
for
voters
to
vote.
We
did
start
voting
yesterday
at
7
A.M.
We
had
three
locations
that
were
open,
we're
open
here
at
the
city,
services
Center
at
Columbus,
Technical,
College,
and
also
at
Shirley
Winston
Recreation
Center.
G
We
are
open
every
day,
including
weekends,
not
just
Monday
through
Friday,
but
every
day,
Saturdays
and
Sundays
for
the
next
three
weeks
until
November,
4th
7
A.M
to
7
P.M
every
day
and
then
election
day
is
November
the
8th.
So
we
get
out
of
here
a
few
minutes
early.
You
can
run
downstairs
and
go
ahead
and
vote,
or
you
can
familiar
familiarize
yourself
with
the
ballot
with
the
QR
codes
that
we
have
here.
I
also
have
printed
copies
of
the
Constitutional
Amendments
and
the
charter
amendments.
G
If
you
would
like
a
printed
copy
of
it
and
really
I
do
and
I
can
understand,
that's
why
that's
well.
Do
you
have
a
smartphone?
You
have
a
smartphone
yeah
that'll
work
too
hard.
I
understand
that
too.
So,
yes,
I
do
have
printed
copies
and
I'll
have
those
in
the
back
of
the
room.
Anyone
have
any
questions.
B
Thank
you,
Nancy,
there's
something
else
that
we
will
do.
She
mentioned
the
charter
review,
recommendations
that
are
going
to
be
on
the
ballot
and
your
Charter
review
comes
around
every
10
years,
where
citizens
take
a
look
at
our
Charter,
which
is
kind
of
like
the
state's
Constitution.
It's
what
all
of
our
laws
and
all
of
our
operations
are
based
on,
and
so
it's
only
reviewed
once
every
every
10
years.
B
So
once
those
individuals
that
are
on
the
charter
view,
commission
come
up
with
some
recommendations,
they'll
put
them
on
the
ballot
for
the
public
to
look
at
to
determine
if
they
want
to
vote
in
favor
of
making
those
changes
to
the
Charter.
So
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
make
sure
I
think
we
can
get
it
done
by
tomorrow,
where
we
can
get
it
to
put
a
link
directly
on
the
the
the
home
page
of
Columbus,
ga.org
and
it'll
put
a
link
on
there.
B
That'll,
take
you
directly
to
not
only
their
suggested
changes,
but
they
also
have
some
rationalization
where
they
they'll
tell
you
why
they
they
are
recommending
what
they're,
recommending
and
and
that
way
maybe
you'll
have
a
an
easier
time
understanding,
because
if
you
wait
until
you
look
at
what's
written
on
the
ballot,
that's
legalese
and
I
that
stuff
confuses
me
every
time.
B
So
this
will
be
the
actual
in
layman's
terms
the
changes
they're
recommending
and
why
they're
recommending
them
and
I
did
councilor
Woodson
I
missed
her
too
something
about
District,
Seven
I,
just
I
didn't
see
either
the
sevens
over
here
but
I
see
I,
say
glad
y'all
glad
y'all
made
it.
Are
there
any
any
other
questions
comments
or
concerns
before
we
close
early
tonight.
H
I'm
sorry
I
just
had
one.
Oh,
oh
Alibi,
first
I
want
to
say
that
I
really
appreciate
the
job
that
the
entire
city
did
for
Juneteenth
month.
It
was
like
one
of
the
best
celebrations.
I
saw
in
most
of
the
United
States
I
want
to
say,
was
really
great
and
so
I
went
to
community.
On
that.
My
question
was
about
the
youth.
H
We
have
been
talking
about
how
and
I
heard
you
both
mention
the
crime
that's
going
on
in
the
city
and
it's
not
necessarily
getting
better,
and
hopefully
it's
not
going
to
get
any
worse.
But
I
see
that
in
our
city
we
still
have
an
imbalance
where
we
have
programs.
We
have
organizations
here
in
the
community
on
the
upper
side
or
the
north
side
of
Columbus,
but
I'm
still
not
seeing
any
new
stuff
or
anything
for
the
Youth
on
the
lower
side.
So
if
they
don't
are
the
South
Side
I
should
say
so.
H
If
they
can't
make
their
way
to
the
north
side,
then
they
don't
get
involved
in
those
programs.
H
We
have
the
boys
and
girls
club,
we
have
Girls
Inc,
we
have
at
the
top
of
my
head,
I,
can't
think
of
any
others
right.
B
B
H
Ain't
seen
anything
new
come
up
so
I'm
not
saying
that
but
I'm
saying
if
there
is
something
new,
if
there
is
a
way
to
get
more
organizations,
not
necessarily
even
because
we
have
non-profits
they're,
just
smaller
and
I've,
seen
a
few
of
them
on
the
news
talking
about
different
programs
that
they
have
and
I
don't
know
exactly
where
they're
located.
But
they
are
here
in
Columbus
from
what
I've
seen
that
are
trying
to
get
things
started
up.
But,
as
you
know,
that's
sometimes
difficult.
H
Does
the
city
have
any
are
basically
inclination
to
help
those
non-profits
or
to
support
those
non-profits
with
things
like,
especially
for
like
the
teens,
because
most
of
the
stuff
that
we
do
have
here
is
for
the
younger
kids,
teens
too,
but
mostly
younger
kids,
for
the
teens
and
for
the
kids
on
the
south
side
of.
B
Course,
listen.
It's
a
great
question,
it's
one
that
we
are
all
in
one
way
or
another.
All
these
department,
heads
jobs,
touch
the
youth
in
our
community
and
it
touches
crime
and
it
touches
education.
It
touches
poverty.
It
touches
health
and
I,
know.
Holly
Browder
is
here,
but
and
I
think
what
she'll
tell
you
is
that
we're
very
balanced
in
the
programming
that's
offered
throughout
our
community
matter
of
fact,
and
and
I.
B
B
I
know
the
city
manager
was
a
champion
for
placing
kiosks
in
about
14
different
locations.
Most
of
them
are
in
our
rec
centers,
where
any
any
young
person
can
go
up
there.
Access
that
touch
screen
it'll
tell
them
where
they
can
find
summer
jobs
where
they
can
get
job
skill
training
it'll
tell
them
where
their
food
giveaways
it'll
tell
them
any
number
of
things
that
they
have
access
to
free.
B
We
are
about
to
roll
out
Holly
browder's
Area
in
in
coordination
with
the
food
mill
which
is
rolling
out
a
rolling
farmers
market
and
a
combination
of
Department
of
Public
Health
and
Piedmont.
They
both
have
mobile
units
that
do
medical
training,
evaluations
and
Holly.
You
know
we've
constantly
heard
about
how
we
need
more
rec
centers
in
neighborhoods
and,
frankly,
it's
an
impossibility
at
this
point
and
not
because
of
the
money,
because
we
can't
find
programmers,
we
can't
find
people
that
will
go
to
work
and
some
of
these
where
we
do
have
neighborhood
centers.
B
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
actually
going
to
have
a
mobile,
Parks
and
Recreation
Center,
where
we'll
put
a
programmer
on
this
vehicle
and
we'll
send
them
out
to
these
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
a
neighborhood
Rec
Center,
don't
have
transportation,
don't
have
access
to
some
of
the
other
programs
and
we'll
make
sure
so
that'll
be
an
additional
programming
thing
that
they'll
they'll
have
in
those
areas.
So
we
are
constantly
looking
for
opportunities.
B
We
also
matter
of
fact
you
all
heard
of
cure
violence
and
everybody
I
think
thinks
of
cure
violence.
As
being
the
these
ambassadors
that
go
out
and
meet
with
the
gangs
and
and
try
to
stop
retaliatory
shootings
and
they
are
but
but
they
are
also
connectors-
in
other
words,
all
of
these
great
programs
that
are
around
our
community,
these
Grassroots
programs
that,
like
you're,
just
you
were
just
saying
a
lot
of
times.
B
That's
going
to
lead
them
right
into
right
into
the
back
seats
of
our
police
department,
and
our
philosophy
has
always
been
we're.
Gonna.
We
spend
three
quarters
of
a
million
dollars
every
year
on
programs,
grassroot
programs
through
grants
through
our
time
prevention
program,
and
we
do
that
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
every
every
young
person
that
wants
something
positive
to
do
there
will
be
something
that
they
can
get
involved
in.
B
However,
if
they
choose
not
to
get
involved
in
that
and
they
get
involved
in
the
negative
stuff,
then
our
job
becomes
arresting
them
just
as
quickly
as
we
can
find
them,
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
What
we'd
rather
do
is
have
them
get
involved
in
some
of
these
programs.
So
so
we'll
continue
to
try
to
grow
the
notoriety,
try
to
make
sure
people
know
about
them
and
