Description
The regular meeting of the Oklahoma City City Council for
Tuesday, February 18, 2020.
A
B
Good
morning
and
welcome,
thank
you
all
for
the
invitation
I'm,
so
grateful.
We
live
in
a
city
in
a
state
that
still
believes
in
prayer.
Let's
go
the
Lord
at
this
time,
Almighty
God!
We
we
thank,
you
God,
that
we
can
begin
a
beautiful
Tuesday
morning
in
prayer
Lord,
what
a
privilege,
god
I!
Thank
you
for
this
great
city,
father
I!
B
Thank
you
just
for
the
the
small
history
I,
remember
of
something
that
started
with
mayor
norick
and
continued
with
mayor
Humphreys,
mayor
Cornett
and
now
mayor
Holt
got
just
rebuilding
beautifying
this
place,
Lord
I'm,
grateful
and
father
I.
I.
Just
know,
though,
that
a
mayor
and
all
these
council,
men
and
women
and
just
people
in
a
city
and
beautiful
buildings,
won't
make
us
successful
god.
We
need
your
help.
So
lord
I
asked
today
that
you
would
give
wisdom
to
this
council
and
this
mayor
and
all
our
city
officials
God.
B
We
pray
your
protection
this
day
for
all
of
our
city
officials,
our
Police
Chief
and
all
the
policemen
and
fire
chief
and
all
the
fire
men
and
women
and
police
women
as
well
and
God.
We
pray
your
protection
over
them.
Father
I
pray
that
we
would
not
just
be
believers
in
you,
but
we
would
be
followers
or
may
we
truly,
as
Psalms
119
says,
make
your
word
a
lamp
unto
our
feet,
a
light
unto
our
path,
God,
that
we
would
love
you
and
love
our
neighbor
as
ourselves.
B
A
A

don't
we

you
do
and
that

our
teachers

Oklahoma
City

little
bit
more

We

A
G
I'll
be
brief,
because
that
was
kind
of
long
I
may
have
that
now
now
no
proclamations
you're
running
a
little
sore,
but
the
you
know
I'm
a
guy
born
and
raised
in
Oklahoma
I'm
that
story
that
never
thought
after
high
school.
You
come
back
to
Oklahoma,
but
I'm
grateful
to
be
back.
We
went
to
Houston
with
the
Oklahoma
City
Chamber
last
fall
and
I
was
asked
when
I
moved
back
to
Houston.
I
said
no,
because
this
has
been
a
place
where,
as
a
african-american
as
a
business
owner,
this
is
a
place
in
Oklahoma.
G
City,
that's
been
receptive
and
we
believe
that
we
can
be
very
impactful
to
communities
so
who
we
have
representative
a
are
some
of
the
members
of
course,
in
restaurant
space
people
have
people
to
serve
food
from
so
we
have
serves
areas
who
is
the
owner
of
okhla
soul,
cafe,
which
is
our
newest
restaurant.
That's
here
in
Oklahoma
City

Ray
Brown,
who
is
the
co-owner
of
isof
in
center,
and
we
have
Mario,
who
is
who's,
also

Elmer's
uptown

grill
and
I'm.
Just
a
guy

H
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
be
very
intentional
about
the
effort
for
african-americans
in
their
space
in
their

and
thank

all
for

intentional
about
opening
restaurants
in
your
community
and

great
food.
So

anybody

know
I
can

you.
So
thank

Thank.
A
A
A
You
and
your
family
have
worked
on
the
land
run
monuments
down
on
the
end
of
our
canal,
and
the
work
is
now
essentially
complete.
There's
some
things
we
want
to
do
around
the
sculptures,
but
the
sculptures
are
now
all
fully
placed,
and
again
this
has
taken
20
years
and
millions
of
dollars,
but,
most
importantly,
your
blood,
sweat
and
tears,
and
your
family's
hard
work
and
support,
and
we
wanted
to
honor
you
here
this
morning
Paul.
E
Paul
Moore,
a
citizen
of
the
Creek
Muskogee
nation,
was
born
in
Oklahoma
City.
He
and
his
wife
Kim
have
raised
two
sons,
Ryan
and
Todd,
whereas
Paul
is
the
artist
and
resident
and
professor
of
figurative
sculpture
at
the
University
of
Oklahoma
in
Norman
Oklahoma,
whereas
Paul
has
sculpted
more
than
150
commissions
for
numerous
governmental,
corporate,
private
and
international
collections,
whereas
some
of
the
well-known
local
sculptures
that
Paul
has
created
include
the
Johnny
Bench
statue
in
Bricktown
the
seats,
our
statue
at
the
University
of
Oklahoma
and
on
the
Chisholm
Trail
monument
in
Duncan
Oklahoma.
E
Whereas
one
of
Paul's
recently
completed
works
of
art,
is
the
centennial
land
run.
Monument
commissioned
by
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
the
state
of
Oklahoma
in
the
United
States
of
America
to
commemorate
the
land
runs
that
are
important
chapter
in
Oklahoma's
history,
whereas
completion
of
the
centennial
and
run
monument
required
the
artistry
and
skill
of
Paul
Moore
and
his
sons,
Ryan
and
Todd,
who
all
worked
together
to
create
the
massive
project
over
a
period
of
twenty
years.
E
Whereas
this
amazing
group
of
forty-five
heroic
sized
sculptures
is
one
of
the
world's
largest
works
of
original,
unique,
bronze
sculptures
by
a
single
sculpture,
whereas
the
numerous
contributions
of
Paul
and
his
family
to
public
art
are
a
credit
to
our
city
and
state.
Now,
therefore,
David
Holt,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
does
hereby
proclaim
February
18th
as
Paul
Moore
Day
in
Oklahoma
City,
and
he
encourages
all
residents
and
visitors
to
appreciate
the
work
of
Paul
Moore
and
his
family.
Let's.
A
Now
you
Paul
speaks
with
his
hands,
not
with
his
mouth.
He
said
so
so
he's
gonna
defer
any
words.
I
didn't
know
if
anyone
else
was
to
say
anything,
but
if
not
I'll,
just
again
reiterate
what
what
your
work
has
meant
to
this
city,
we're
thrilled
that
it's
finally
complete
I
hope
you
don't
spend
all
of
poor
Matt
Paul
more
day
and
Norman
by
the
way
cuz
it
it's
your
day
here
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
and
again
we're
just
so
grateful.
Thank
you
so
much
Paul,

all

one
more
time.

A
H
H
A
I
P
Thank
you,
city
manager,
eric
winger
public
works
director
and
actually
going
to
co-present
with
jeff
butler
the
planning
director.
So
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
break
this
into
two
parts.
But
hopefully
everybody
has
a
paper
copy
or
a
printed
copy
of
our
annual
report,
and
it
looks
like
this
on
the
cover.
P
We
open
up
that
cover
I'm
you're,
going
to
get
a
background
of
the
program
and
again
it's
a
a
reminder
that
this
is
significant
sales
tax
program,
240
million
dollars,
168
million
in
resurfacing
projects,
24
million
in
streetscapes,
24
million
in
sidewalks,
12
million
in
trails
and
also
twelve
million
dollars
in
bike
lanes.
We
have
actually
are
scheduled
to
finish
up
the
sales
tax
completion
on
March
31st,
because
April
1st
will
start
the
maps
for
collections.
P
I
mean
right
now,
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we
are
currently
slightly
above
our
target
revenue
I'm
about
6
percent
over
and
the
things
continue
to
proceed
through
the
month
of
March,
and
so
it's
a
good
thing
to
have
a
program
that
had
an
estimate
of
240
million.
We'll
definitely
make
that
collection.
We
should
have
a
little
extra
that
we
can
hopefully
do
some
enhancements
to
some
of
the
projects.
P
When
you
go
into
page
4
of
the
report,
it's
going
to
be
a
highlight
of
the
advisory
board.
The
chair
is
how
McKnight
who's
been
with
us
since
day
1,
along
with
many
of
the
other
members
on
this
section
of
the
report,
also
highlights
that
that
board
meets
monthly
and
they
made
here
in
the
council
chambers.
P
They
also
make
the
recommendations
that
you
receive
regarding
the
projects
and
one
of
the
items
on
the
council
agenda
today
is
also
an
amendment
to
the
implementation
plan
for
better
streets
that
we'll
consider
later
this
morning,
when
we
get
into
the
financial
overview.
You're
gonna
see
here
that
we've
got
some
of
the
summaries
and
you
can
see
again
that
we're,
as
I
reported
slightly
over
the
target
collection.
P
Total
is
about
13
million
right
now.
That
is
the
projected
over.
We
had
96
million
in
revenue
and
2018.
We
had
119
million
in
2019
moving
into
the
projects
and
we
have
five
different
project
categories.
This
is
just
a
summary
of
the
street
resurfacing.
So
again
we
have
60%
of
the
funds
that
are
going
towards
arterial
streets.
P
We
have
40%
of
the
funds
that
are
going
towards
residential
to
date,
and
we
have
some
of
the
highlights
that
are
here
on
the
two-year
program
totals
you're
gonna,
see
that
we've
already
placed
two
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
tons
of
asphalt
in
resurfacing
projects
on
Oklahoma
City
streets.
We
replaced
more
than
ninety
nine
thousand
linear
feet
of
curbing.
We
improved
75
intersections
and
also
improvements
to
over
850
ad
a
ramps.
These
numbers
significantly
increase
this
year.
P
We
also
have
in
the
report-
and
this
is
on
page
10-
you're
gonna-
see
the
percentage
of
funding
that
has
been
approved,
based
on
the
totals
that
I
previously
reported
you'll
see
two
different
percentages
here.
This
is
that
60/40
split,
you're
gonna
see
71
percent.
This
is
through
December
31st.
So
again,
this
being
an
annual
report.
This
is
through
the
31st.
Just
in
the
last
year,
71
percent
of
the
arterial
funding
had
been
allocated
and
86
percent
of
the
residential
funding
had
been
allocated.
P
Today,
though,
we
do
have
some
project
budget
revisions
they're
going
to
need
to
utilize
some
of
those
monies
just
to
help
finish
some
projects
that
have
gone
over,
but
we're
definitely
coming
under
budget
on
the
majority
of
projects.
But
there
are
those
few
that
we
run
into
some
field
conditions
and
slightly
go
over
those
budgets.
But
the
final
Street
recommendations
for
arterial
and
residential
are
underway.
P
I
expect
that
that
recommendation
to
be
made
by
the
Advisory
Board
this
spring
and
they
did
have
a
discussion
of
regarding
those
additional
projects
at
their
last
meeting,
but
they
weren't
quite
ready
to
bring
those
forward
to
the
City
Council.
Yet
so
we
do
have
some
final
Street
projects,
I'm
coming
here
in
just
the
next
month
or
two
we've
included
some
of
the
highlight
photos,
just
something
showing
some
of
the.
Before
and
after
work
and
again
tremendous
improvement
across
Oklahoma
City.
Q
Good
morning
so
like
to
talk
a
little
about
street
enhancements,
you
can
see
in
the
right-hand
side
there
that
we
have.
We've
made
some
good
progress
in
several
of
the
areas
and
they're
all
moving
at
their
own
speeds,
depending
on
kind
of
when
they
started
and
the
complexity
and
what's
going
on
with
each
project,
we
have
20
3.3
million
of
the
24
million
that's
been
allocated,
so
we've
got
a
little
bit
left
for
just
contingency
and
and
so
forth.
Q
It
just
really
depends
on
what
what's
needed,
and
so
we
have
a
variety
of
different
projects
from
Paseo
and
Walker
to
Portland
Avenue
by
the
park
over
there
and
the
plaza
district
northeast
23rd
Street.
So
a
lot
of
different
areas
of
the
city
are
seeing
some
improvements
there
and
we're
excited
to
see
what
happens.
These
tend
to
take
a
little
bit
longer
because
there's
a
lot
of
design
involved
stakeholder
engagement,
and
so
the
process
is
a
little
bit
longer.
Q
Q
Q
13.8
million
have
been
allocated
to
pedestrian
priority
areas,
that's
mostly
kind
of
in
the
core
of
the
city
or
the
inner
loop
areas
that
really
need
sidewalks
that
are
missing
a
lot
of
sidewalks.
Now
we
have
3.4
million
dedicated
to
schools,
getting
people's
two
elementary
schools
and
other
types
of
schools
eventually
and
2.2
million
focused
on
the
transit
system
to
help
folks,
once
they
get
off
the
buses
or
to
provide
a
TA
ramps
and
so
forth,
and
better
sidewalks
to
those
bus
stops
bicycle
infrastructure
and
the
lion's
share.
This
is
for
on-street
bicycle
infrastructure.
Q
So
with
that
having
been
said,
fifty
three
percent
is
what
we
had
allocated
through
the
end
of
2019.
That's
six
point:
three
million
we've
since
are,
and
we're
in
the
process
of
allocating
additional
funds
to
those
bike
facilities,
and
we
should
be
seeing
a
lot
of
that
happen.
This
year
around
the
city
for
trails
we've
we
have
91
percent
of
that.
It's
been
allocated
and
a
lot
of
that
has
been
allocated
to
resurfacing.
Q
We
had
a
lot
of
our
trails,
such
as
the
Lake
Hefner
Trail,
that
needed
to
be
resurfaced,
and
so
that's
been
done,
and
we
also
have
a
couple
of
new
trails,
including
the
Deep
Fork
Trail,
that
has
quite
a
bit
of
funding
actually
from
the
sales
tax
and
other
sources.
So
we're
excited
that
that
is
fully
funded
now
and
is
able
to
be
completed
soon
and
with
that
I'll
end
on
this
slide.
That
kind
of
shows
you
all
the
different
project
types
throughout
the
city.
Q
P
I
think
just
as
a
final
comment,
obviously
better
streets,
they
proceed
is
a
partnership
project
with
several
departments,
public
works
planning
and
also
the
parks
department.
The
trails
master
plan
is
coordinated
through
parks
and
then
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that
the
report
that
you
have
today
was
actually
done
in-house.
A
I
It
Brian
our
finance
directors
here
is
going
to
talk
to
us
about
well
go
ahead
and
just
discuss
all
three
of
the
items:
AQ
&
a
are,
or
both
with
our
geo
bond
sale,
that'll,
be
coming
up
part
of
its
tax-exempt,
part
of
its
taxable
and
he'll,
explain
that
and
then
a
asses,
a
geo
bond
refunding
so
we'll
just
let
him
go
ahead
and
go
through
all
of
that
present.
All
that
information
right
now
before
we
get
to
voting.
R
On
the
items
all
right
good
morning,
Brian
finance
director,
as
as
Kraig
limiter
said,
the
we
have
five
items
today,
a
QA
R
and
a
s,
a
Q
is
it
but
and
all
three
of
these,
though
or
I,
want
to
emphasize,
they
were
developed
under
the
guise
of
a
sixteen
mill
levy.
The
city
has
a
long-standing
track
record
of
keeping
our
mill
levy
at
sixteen
Mills,
and
so
these
amounts
are
based
on
maintaining
an
average
over
at
sixteen
mill.
So
aq
is
we're
seeking
authorization
to
sell.
R
Fifty
one
point:
two:
six:
five
million
in
taxable
tax
exempt
bonds.
These
will
be
from
these
were
approved
by
the
citizens
back
in
2017,
and
then
we
also
have
on
this
item
here
on.
Aq2
is
just
an
ordinance
today
introducing
for
the
sell.
We
anticipate
pricing
on
these
on
March
31st
of
this
year,
with
a
closing
sometime
in
mid.
A
AR
is
a
resolution
authorizing
taxable
bonds
in
the
amount
of
sixty
minute
a
little
over
sixty
million
dollars.
R
Again,
these
are
authorized
by
the
citizens
back
in
2017,
and
pricing
will
be
on
March
31st,
with
a
closing
around
May
14th
and
again
we're
also
introducing
a
the
ordinance
today
for
it.
So
we
can
have
the
necessary
notices
that
we're
required
item.
7S
AS
is
a
resolution
authorizing
staff
to
begin
the
process
of
refunding
our
2010
bonds.
When
we
issued
geo
bonds,
we
assumed
on
a
20-year
term
time
frame,
and
typically
we
do
a
structure
where
the
bonds
that
in
years,
11
through
20
of
that
time,
can
be
refinanced
or
refunded
and
the
are.
R
We
have
a
policy
that
if
we
can
refund
bonds
and
have
at
least
a
three
percent
savings,
we'll
do
that
and
in
this
case
our
staffs
looked
at
at
working
with
our
financial
advisor.
We
anticipate
approximately
a
little
over
four
million
dollars
of
savings,
which
is
the
equivalent
of
about
thirteen
percent.
So
we're
seeking
to
start
the
process
and
in
in
improving
the
resolution
today,
it
will
establish
the
financing
plan
and
authorizes
the
notice
of
hearing
authorizes
the
selection
of
our
underwriters
from
a
pre-qualified
pool.
R
This
council
has
already
approved
and
authorizing
the
preparation
of
a
preliminary
official
statement.
Again
we'll
bring
back
another
item
to
you
regarding
the
refunding
it's
approximately
thirty
three
million
eight
hundred
sixty
five
million
dollars
that
we'll
be
seeking
their
refund
and
we'll
be
bringing
back
the
final
information
on
that
again
in
March
34
on
March
31st,
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Well,
that
was
all
of
the
items
that
we
had
pulled
out
for
discussion
would
entertain.
A
motion
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
brings
us
to
the
concurrence
docket.
We
can
take
these
items
with
one
motion.
A
through
E
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously
item
9
items
requiring
separate
votes.
We
have
9
a
1,
&,
2
and
believe
are
related
to
each
other
in
a
1
is
an
amendment
to
the
master
design
statement.
A
M
S
S
We
initially
had
a
couple
of
options
and
through
meetings
with
the
neighbors
and
a
lot
of
diligent
work,
we're
able
to
come
up
with
this
final
resolution
with
that
has
no
no
protests.
We
initially
received
a
lot
of
protests,
but
we
were
able
to
work
all
those
out
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
guys
have.
A
A
We
got
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
unanimously.
All
right
9b
is
an
ordinance
and
final
hearing
for
closure
of
the
20-foot
planted
alleys
between
Southwest,
10th
and
Southwest
11th,
and
also
between
South
Agnew
and
South
Young's
Councilwoman
Hammond.
There
is
someone
who
has
signed
up
to
speak
Colin
Waukee
in
his
private
capacity,
good.
M
A
A
This
is
actually
started
as
9c2,
which
was
the
proposed
marijuana,
vaping
updates
and
then
at
the
third
meeting
of
consideration,
an
amendment
was
brought
forward,
so
the
whole
item
was
deferred
and
now
the
way
this
is
presented
on
the
agenda
is
a
new
version
of
it
by
Councilwoman
Hammond,
which
is
here
as
9c1,
and
then
the
original
version
is
9c,
so
maybe
I
kind
of
turn
it
over
to
you.
Yeah.
M
I
brought
this
forward
last
meeting
and
was
requested
to
defer,
which
I
was
fine,
with
mostly
from
my
perspective
and
from
hearing
from
residents.
I
I
wanted
to
bring
this
forward
mostly
because
in
my
mind,
it
didn't
make
sense
quite
to
separate
the
vaping
and
smoking
and
kind
of
treating
them
differently
about
marijuana
or
tobacco.
So
so
I
approached
legal
about
that
and
yeah
I
roll
motion
for
approval
for
the
amendment
or
the
ordinance
491.
O
I
can't
in
good
conscience,
support
this
sort
of
restriction,
and
especially
knowing
the
history
of
how
this
drug
became
illegal
in
the
first
place,
which
was
very,
very,
very
rooted
in
a
discrimination
against
Hispanic
and
Latin
X
people
in
the
1930s
and
kind
of
a
hysteria
around
marijuana
and
its
consequences,
and
we
know
from
good
science
today
that
that
just
doesn't
hold
up
to
research.
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
can't
support
this
restriction,
not
mistake.
O
This
restriction
as
be
thinking
that
tobacco,
something
that
we
should
be
smoking
in
general,
though
far
be
it
for
me
to
tell
people
how
to
live
their
lives.
So
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
that's
why
it's
it's
hard
for
me
to
support
prohibiting
someone
from
smoking
medical
marijuana
public
like
that.
Thank
you
for
listening.
Okay,.
A
So
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
on
adoption
of
9
c1.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
8
to
1,
okay,
okay,
so
we
need
an
emergency
motion
on
this
as
well
got
a
motion
in
a
second
on
the
emergency.
Any
further
discussion
seeing
none
cast
your
votes
also
passes
eight
to
one.
So
that
means
we'll
move
on.
We
don't
need
to
consider
9c
and
that
will
bring
us
to
9
d1.
This
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
ordinance
related
to
the
mechanical
code.
A
This
was
explained
and
presented
at
our
previous
meeting,
so
we
have
three
meetings
where
we'll
consider
this,
this
one
is
just
today
the
public
hearing
is
there.
Anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
regarding
this
proposed.
These
proposed
changes
to
the
mechanical
code,
seeing
none
I'd
move
to
item
92,
which
is
also
a
public
hearing.
This
is
regarding
a
resolution
declaring
the
need
for
the
adoption
of
the
mechanical
code.
Is
there
anyone
here
who
wishes
to
speak
under
this
public

also
a
public
hearing

similarly,
this
plumbing

plumbing
code
updates

now
Kayson
from
increment
district
number,
two
to
cover
commercial
development
costs
care
from
the
commercial
development
cost
category
of
the
amended
and
restated
downtown
Maps
economic
development
project
plan.
A
This
public
hearing
is
in
regards
to
item
nine
k2,
which
is
a
resolution
approving
an
allocation
of
$750,000
from
increment
district
number,
two
going
to
bark
a
proposed
to
go
to
bark
a
dog
park
economic
development
project.
This
was
of
course
presented
to
us
at
our
last
meeting.
Is
there
anyone
here
who
wishes
to
speak
under
the
public
hearing
portion
here
at
nine
K
1c?
M
G
M
I
wanted
details
on
their
presentation.
I
know
I
have
it
in
my
email,
because
so
my
concern
is
that
in
the
same
meeting
we
had
a
presentation
about
downtown
parking
and
we
learned
that
we
are
incredibly
over
parked
and
just
north
of
the
highway.
Just
look
10
minute
walk
within
my
mind.
Sorry,
my
mind
would
be
a
pleasant
walk
for
a
dog
owner
to
take
their
dog
from
this
public
parking
lot
down
to
the
canal
and
over
to
the
dog
park
is
like
a
lot
of
parking
spaces.
M
So
it
seems
strange
to
me
that
the
amount
we're
giving
or
allocating
rather
would
would
be
about
the
amount
that
that
they're
using
to
build
a
parking
lot,
that
they
don't
really
need.
Based
on
our
study,
so
I,
just
I.
Think
from
my
perspective,
I
have
a
hard
time
proving
this
allocation.
Let
me
so.
I
M
Was
just
into
the
cord
and
that,
but
this
is
literally
adjacent
and
again
it's
a
10-minute
walk
from
a
little
piece
that
would
have
been
included
so
I,
just
that's
in
okay,
so
they
actually
have
that
the
parking
and
site
improvements
are
about
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
in
my
mind,
you
know
if
they
did
away
with
that
parking.
That's
you
know
about
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
They
could
save
and
maybe
have
an
agreement
with
with
the
other
parking
lots
in
the
area.
So
that's
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
yep.
I
H
I'll
say
you
know,
being
able
to
travel
in
the
area
of
both
House
District
I,
totally
understand
where
Councilwoman
Hammond
is
coming
from,
but
I've
also
seen
it
overcrowded
down
there
as
far
as
the
parking
is
concerned,
so
it
is
don't
only
compromise
I
can
give
for.
This
is
because
it's
going
to
be
shared,
it's
not
going
to
be
particularly
particularly
just
for
Bar
K,
but
it
again
is
for
the
overall
boathouse
district
and
I'm
telling
you.
H
If
you
go
down
there
on
an
event
that
they
have
on
the
weekends,
you
can
bearly
your
parking
in
the
grass
you're,
not
parking
in
a
parking
place,
because
it's
just
so
crowded
in
the
area
and
I've
also
seen
people
park
literally
over
the
bridge
in
order
to
be
able
to
make
it
to
some
of
those
events.
So
again,
I
totally
understand
where
you're
coming
from
in
in
this
instance
I
definitely
understand.
H
Lieb
I
believe
that's
his
name
that
he
is
very
committed
to
ensuring
that
we
have
diversity
in
this
development
and
that
we
also
have
people
who
would
not
have
been
afforded
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
this
membership
or
to
bring
their
dogs
to
this
particular
establishment
that
they
will
be
able
to
do
that.
So
hopefully
he
took
a
point
from
you
last
time
and
he's
gonna
put
that
dog
in
the
backpack
and
ride
on
his
bike
when
he
comes
back
to
the
city.
So
hopefully
he'll
do
that,
but
well.
A
Right
we've
got
a
motion
for
9
k2,
so
this
is
a
resolution
approving
the
allocation
to
bark,
the
bark,
a
project
and
further
discussion.
Seeing
none
cast
your
votes
passes
8
to
1
moving
on
to
9
and
all
this
is
a
resolution
adopting
the
February
2020
update
to
the
community
and
neighborhood
enhancement
program
project
implementation
plan
I
mean
really
really
program:
project
implementation
plan,
an
approving
allocation
of
better
streets,
safer
city
sales,
tax
funds,
estimated
costs
approximately
three
point:
six
million
dollars
believe
we
have
a
present.
Yes,
Eric.
P
Forth
Thank
You
mr.
manager,
so
it
is
just
an
update
today.
This
is
to
take
care
of
some
budget
revisions.
Has
we
kind
of
presented
in
the
annual
port?
There
are
a
few
projects
that
tend
to
lean
over
budget
as
we
get
into
the
field
and
we
get
into
conditions
that
are
able
to
achieve
the
original
project
budget.
We
amend,
and
so
there's
actually
three
categories
of
amendment
that
are
included
in
this
plan
and
the
first
is
resurfacing.
P
There
were
two
arterial
streets
and
three
of
our
residential
neighborhood
streets
that
needed
some
budget
amendments
just
help
them
finish.
The
projects
that
were
started
on
the
total
for
the
resurfacing
additions
is
1.9
million.
There
was
one
sidewalk
project
that
required
a
budget
amendment
near
the
Prairie
Queen
elementary
school.
It
needs
an
additional
hundred
and
twenty-nine
thousand
dollars,
and
then
there
were
four
budget
revisions
to
bicycle
infrastructure
projects,
and
this
was
the
area
that
Planning
Director
Jeff
Butler
mentioned
is
one
of
our
newest
areas
is
we're.
P
Creating
these
budgets
is
for
detailing
out
the
bicycle
lanes
and
infrastructure
for
Oklahoma
City,
there's
various
additions
to
the
main
General
Pershing
bike,
lane
the
Spring
Lake,
the
Indiana
Linwood,
and
also
the
Lodi
and
there's
about
1.6
million
dollars
in
additional
funds
that
are
available
within
better
streets
that
need
to
be
added
to
those
projects
that
we
complete
them
successfully.
So
the
total
edition,
with
all
the
categories
today,
is
three
million
six
hundred
ninety
four
thousand
two
hundred
eighty
four
dollars
and
to
be
happy
answering
any
questions
you
might
have.
Yes,.
H
This
is
a
astronomical
amount
as
we're
looking
at
I
know
it's
concrete
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
but
I'm
curious
to
know.
If
there
are
other
areas,
we
can
also
focus
on
because
I'm
looking
at
some
of
these
other
costs,
this
one
stretch
of
road,
we
could
get
quite
a
few.
Others
done
that,
in
my
opinion,
need
a
lot
of
attention.
Is
it
possible
to
figure
out
other
ways?
H
We
can
best
use
this
this
money
as
we
look
to
better
actually
to
better
improve
North,
Martin,
Luther,
King
Avenue
from
36
to
50th,
and
also
thinking
in
terms
of
the
bond
that
Metro
Tech
has
if
they
would
be
willing
to
help
offset
some
of
those
when
it
comes
to
Metro
tech?
Being
literally
on
this
on
this
stretch
of
that
Street?
Yes,.
P
So
to
two
comments
here.
So
first
is
the
the
list
of
18
projects
that
were
in
the
original
implementation
plan
were
not
adopted
by
the
better
streets,
safer,
City,
Advisory
Board
and
are
not
recommended
for
your
approval
today.
So
only
the
ones
with
budget
amendments
are
those
in
the
plan
that
are
being
recommended.
These
are
going
to
be
coming
back
to
the
City
Council
at
a
future
meeting
because
they
too
weren't
ready,
and
the
question
was
raised
on
the
4.5
million
dollars.
P
And
the
answer
is
yes:
we're
going
to
be
showing
the
advisory
board
those
at
their
next
meeting
next
month
and
I
suspect
that
there
will
be
a
conversation
that
will
be
had
I
mean
the
potential
for
a
recommendation
be
made
that
that
that
project
not
be
done,
but
it
could
be
done.
It
just
hasn't
been
received
by
the
board
to
answer
the
cost
of
the
question.
Concrete
streets
cannot
be
resurfaced
I'm.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
started.
Updating
is
a
part
of
our
payment
management
in
payment
program
for
Oklahoma
City.
P
Is
that
when
a
concrete
street
fails
and
it
gets
those
large
cracks
in
it,
which
is
what's
occurring
on
Martin
Luther
King,
the
entire
section
has
to
be
removed
and
the
entire
street
has
to
be
replaced
different
than
an
asphalt
street.
Where
we
can
do
a
mill.
We
can
know
off
that
top
two
or
three
inches
of
damaged
surface
course
and
replace
Martin
Luther
King
is
going
to
require
all
of
that
material
to
come
completely
out,
which
is
why
the
cost
is
as
high
as
it
is.
P
If
we
were
to
replace
Martin
Luther
King
with
a
new
asphalt
street,
we
could
save
a
few
hundred
thousand
dollars.
One
of
the
advantage
to
an
asphalt
Street
going
back
in
replacing
a
concrete
would
be
in
15
or
20
years.
When
that
Street
required
resurfacing,
we
would
have
the
benefit
of
then
a
mill
and
on
overlay
versus
a
complete
Street
replacement.
Should
it
fail
again,
so
those
are
the
questions
that
have
been
asked
oskar
by
the
board.
P
We're
gonna
take
that
information
back
to
them
for
the
review
and
approval
and
we'll
bring
their
recommendation
forward
to
you
next
month
on
the
new
projects
to
be
added,
but
your
approval
today
is
not
adding
any
new
projects.
Only
the
budget
revisions
to
those
that
need
the
additional
funding.
Construction
thank.
H
You
for
that
clarification,
but
I
do
want
to
continue
to
say
I,
don't
want
us
to
neglect
that
Street,
because
I
Drive
it
all
the
time
and
it
is
a
bumpy
road
and
it
does
definitely
need
some
assistance.
So
I
still
want
to
keep
that
at
the
forefront
as
we
try
to
figure
out
other
ways
that
we
can
improve
other
streets
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
that
and.
P
Based
on
our
rating
system,
it
is
a
highly
rated
Street
to
be
replaced.
So,
as
we've
worked,
the
worst
streets
of
the
city
off
of
the
streets
list,
it
being
number
four
on
the
arterial
list
that
you
can
see
as
part
of
the
information,
it
is
quite
high,
so
it
supersedes
several
other
projects,
so
that
will
bring
all
that
information
back
to
you.
So
that
will
present
that
in
the
next
month,
welcome.
A
It

some

O
Okay,
so
I
may
need
some
patience,
because
I
have
quite
a
bit
this
morning,
first
I'd
like
to
thank
Public,
Works
and
planning,
and
the
homeless
Alliance
for
visiting
with
Mayfair
West's
neighbors
at
a
recent
Neighborhood
Association
meeting
taking
time
out
of
their
evening.
To
do
so.
Just
really
want
to
thank
them
for
that.
I
want
to
thank
the
neighborhood
of
Douglas
Edgemere
for
a
recent
Neighborhood
Association
meeting
as
well.
O
It
was
very
well
attended
and
a
lot
of
good
ideas
flowing
back
and
forth
I'd
like
to
congratulate
my
neighborhood,
the
Paseo
on
writing
and
passing
their
first
bylaws
in
a
very
long
time.
They
are.
They
had
been
an
inactive
Neighborhood
Association
in
how
they're
active
again
and
I'm
very
excited
about
that,
especially
because
of
you
heard
earlier,
the
better
street
safer
city
sales
tax
and
do
bond
funding.
O
Well,
that's
going
to
lead
to
a
bit
of
a
facelift
for
Paseo
in
the
next
several
months
and
having
a
neighborhood
association
as
well
as
the
Paseo
Arts
District
there
to
help
steward
those
dollars
is,
is
very
important,
so
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
to
people.
Speaking
of
congratulations.
I
wanted
to
congratulate
council
person,
Stonecipher
and
stone
I.
Believe
it's
not
like
always
congratulations,
but
congratulations
to
council
person,
Stonecipher
and
a
council
person.
Green
well
I
believe
were
your
one-year
anniversary
of
reelection
last
year
about
right.
O
Glad
to
have
you
a
council
person
Hammond
you
as
well.
We
won
on
the
same
night,
February,
12th
and
I
want
to
congratulate
you,
mayor
I,
believe
we
just
had
an
anniversary
for
your
mayoral
victory.
Congratulations
and
I.
Now
I
want
to
go
kind
of
deep
and
I
very
specifically
want
to
speak
to
Oklahoma
City's
students,
teachers
and
parents
and
I
want
to
start
by
congratulating
councilperson
nice
for
your
victory.
O
I
know
it
was
November
18,
but
I
haven't
had
a
chance
from
the
horseshoe
to
offer
that
congratulations
as
I've
been
working
with
my
students
at
OU,
see
you
and
you
see
oh
reading
boomtown
and
comparing
boomtown
and
Oklahoma
City's
Renaissance
story
through
the
Italian
Renaissance
councilperson
gneisses
victory
has
resonated
a
bit
further
in
my
head.
You
are
only
the
tenth
woman,
as
you
know,
to
serve
on
City
Council
and
as
a
person
of
color.
It's
it's
significant.
Your
victory.
O
This
is
Black
History
Month,
as
we
no,
and
we
know
that
the
emphasis
this
month
is
on
voting
and
people
have
fought
and
died.
They
have
marched
on
Washington.
They
have
delivered
incredible.
Famous
I
have
a
dream
speech,
--is
to
make
sure
that
people
who
have
been
denied
the
franchise
since
literally
the
founding
of
this
country.
Remember
slavery,
begins
in
1619.
O
Black
men
are
afforded
the
right
to
vote
in
the
immediate
aftermath
of
the
Civil
War
and
then
denied
it
for
another
hundred
years
and
that
excluded
black
women,
even
as
black
men
were
allowed
to
vote
recall
black
women
were
excluded
from
that
franchise,
because
women
generally
were
excluded
from
the
franchise.
We
considered
them
property
of
men,
and
so
that
makes
your
victory
all
the
more
significant
and
I
know
it's
hard.
When
people
talk
about.
O
You
know:
congratulations
because
we
like
to
sit
in
humility
and
being
humble
and
so
I
hate,
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
like
that.
But
I
want
to
kind
of
walk
us
back
because
when
I
ran
that
campaign,
people
asked
me
to
tend
to
their
schools,
and
the
best
I
am
able
to
do
was
to
make
sure
maps
for
there
were
youth
centers
so
that
people,
how
to
place
kids
had
a
place
to
go
on
the
weekends
after
schools
during
summer
and
winter
and
fall
and
spring
breaks
those
months
off
during
summer.
O
But
God
helped
me.
I
have
no
control
over
your
curriculum
students.
I
I
can't
change
what's
going
on
in
your
classrooms
and
it
breaks
my
heart
because,
as
a
teacher
on
leave
this
year
from
Jefferson
middle
school
on
the
south
side
and
to
read
stories
as
I've
done
this
last
week
and
the
Free
Press
about
the
increase
in
fights
that
have
happened
in
Oklahoma
City
public
schools,
the
increase
in
suspension
in
that
last
year,
since
I
left,
it
is
breaking
my
heart.
In
a
million
pieces,
I
feel
like
I
left,
something
and
and.
O
And
I
feel
like
I
left,
those
kids
and
and
and
I
want
to
give
them
the
the
skills
they're
gonna
need
to
fight
and
persevere,
because
Black
History
Month
is
not
just
a
month
to
revisit
the
terror
of
slavery
and
the
terror
of
lynching.
It
is
the
time
to
revisit
the
resilience
of
black
folk,
the
resilience
of
folk
likes,
madam
CJ
Walker,
who
became
the
first
female
millionaire
black
or
white
during
the
terror
of
lynching.
O
O
What
keeps
me
strong-
and
there
are
seven
people-
seven
people
that
I
want
to
have
on
everyone's
mind
right
now:
seven,
it
will
sound
if
I
don't
tell
you
that
there
are
seven,
it
will
sound
like
I'm,
just
rambling,
so
I
want
to
walk
you
through
seven
people
that
have
guided
me
over
the
last
20
years,
I
graduated
from
Choctaw
in
2000
as
a
millennial
and
a
lot
of
the
history.
I've
learned
of
resilience,
I
didn't
learn
until
the
last
20
years
outside
of
school.
O
O
She
was
a
slave
and
though
she
could
not
read
or
write
in
Massachusetts
she
as
she
served
her
master.
She
heard
about
a
new
document,
the
Declaration
of
Independence,
the
Constitution,
and
she
heard
that
all
men
were
created.
Equal
and
whoopsie
Duke
see
she
took
that
idea
in
her
head
and
she
said
well.
If
all
people
are
created
equal,
why
not
me
anti-human
and
she
ran
away
and
she
hired
a
lawyer
and
she
sued
and
she
won
because
she
sued
in
one
because
she
believed
in
the
founding
principles
of
this
country.
O
They
abolished
slavery
in
Massachusetts.
That's
who
mom
bet
is
that's
black
women,
that's
what
we
are
capable
of
achieving
when
we
hold
ourselves
to
the
highest
ideals
of
our
founding
principles.
It's
right
there
in
the
Declaration
in
the
Constitution.
Look
no
further
number
two
Mary
Peake
Mary
Peake
was
a
teacher
and
she
in
1861
will
be
one
of
the
very
first
people
to
teach
black
children
in
this
country,
and
she
will
do
so
a
tree
that
still
exists.
O
The
Emancipation
oak
mats
at
Hampton
in
Virginia,
which
is
today
the
site
of
Hampton
University
mats,
who
married
pikas
and
Mary
peak,
did
this
at
a
time
when
black
people
from
the
South
were
escaping
from
slavery.
Yet
from
1861
year
during
the
Civil
War
escaping
from
slavery
coming
to
the
North
I
know
it
might
be
weird
to
think
of
Virginia
as
the
North,
and
yet
it
was
in
this
weird
way,
but
the
only
way
black
people
were
able
to
stay
safe
in
Virginia
was
a
general
had
called
them
contraband
contraband
of
war.
O
They
had
to
literally
call
them
property
and
then
say
they
were
the
property
of
the
North.
That
was
only
way
to
protect
them.
Remember
if
you
ran
away
as
a
slave,
they
took
your
foot,
your
toes
first,
your
ears,
second,
and
then
your
private
parts.
Third,
you
did
not
just
escape
from
slavery.
This
Kanye
West
idea
that
slavery
was
a
choice,
is
just
to
fly
in
the
absolute
face
of
every
documented
piece
of
history.
We
have
Mary
Peake,
taught
black
students
not
just
to
have
a
skill,
but
she
taught
them
to
free
your
mind.
O
This
was
about
putting
in
your
mind
the
ideals
of
the
Declaration
and
the
Constitution
and
that's
what
she
did
and
these
black
kiddos
and
their
parents.
There
was
a
story
of
a
daughter
and
mother
who
would
share
one
dress.
One
dress
this
one
dress
the
daughter
would
go
to
school
during
the
day
and
the
mother
in
the
evening.
That's
how
important
education
was
because
remember,
slaves
were
not
allowed
by
law
to
read.
O
O
She
would
die
just
a
couple
years
later,

Booker
T
Washington
Booker
made
an
argument
to
the
people
in
the
South
cast
down
your
bucket.
He
said
get
a
skill,
take
care
of
yourself
through
industrial
training.
He
said
stay
in
the
south
at
your
home.
He
argued,
which
leads
us
to
number
four
w.
Eb
Dubois
had
a
counter
argument.
He
argued
like
Mary
peak
free
your
mind.
He
said
we
must
root
our
education
in
the
liberal
arts.
That
was
his
argument.
O
He
said
the
only
rate
way
to
raise
consciousness
was
through
fiction
through
storytelling,
through
identification
with
protagonists
who
were
going
through
similar
struggles.
He
was
borrowing
his
ideas
from
Aristotle
from
2,000
years
earlier.
The
boys
just
so
happens
to
be
the
great
grandchild
of
mumbet
and
he's
born
in
the
very
same
place
that
mum
bet
won
her
case
to
abolish
to
free
herself
and
lead
to
the
abolition
of
slavery
in
Massachusetts.
O
This
will
be
arguments
that
Dubois
is
making
during
a
time
of
lynching
that
will
really
get
under
way
in
the
1880s
and
90s
and
will
continue
all
the
way
through
the
1960s
number
five
Xillia
broke
right
here
in
Oklahoma
City,
who
was
a
music
teacher.
She
played
the
trumpet
the
violin
and
the
piano.
She
will
create
the
first
music
department
at
Langston
University,
but
importantly,
here
in
Oklahoma
City.
O
She
will
make
sure
that,
during
a
time
of
segregation,
that
every
black
student
in
a
segregated
OKC
learns
how
to
play
an
instrument
learns
music
theory
and
music
history.
She
believed
that
all
of
that
was
something
that
a
child
should
know,
and
do
you
know
what,
through
that
history,
through
that
education,
the
black
students
in
deep
deuce,
helped
right
alongside
New
Orleans,
to
invent
a
whole
new
genre
of
music
jazz?
That's
what
we
did
during
the
height
of
terror
of
lynching.
We
created
one
of
the
most
popular
forms
of
music.
O
She
and
Martin
Luther
King
are
gonna,
be
borrowing
the
ideas
of
Socrates,
also
from
2000
early
ur,
and
that's
my
seventh
person
Socrates,
and
this
is
quoting
from
the
letter
from
Birmingham
jail.
This
is
when
Martin
Luther
King
has
been
arrested
for
marching
to
desegregate
the
south.
He
said
quote,
you
may
we'll
ask
why
direct
action,
why
sit-ins
marches
and
so
forth?
Isn't
negotiation
a
better
path
to
which
he
responds.
O
We
must
see
the
need
of
having
nonviolent
gadflies
to
create
the
kind
of
tension
in
society
that
will
help
men
to
rise
from
the
dark
depths
of
prejudice
and
racism
to
the
majestic
heights
of
understanding
and
brotherhood,
students
and
teachers,
and
parents
I
would
encourage
you
to
watch
a
PBS
documentary
called
many
rivers
to
cross
on
african-american
history.
I
would
encourage
you
to
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
into
who
those
seven
people
were.
We
cannot
wait,
we
cannot
wait.
O
Students
in
Oklahoma
are
facing
the
highest
adverse
childhood
experience,
scores
it's
destroying
their
minds,
the
traumas
they
have
experienced,
and
it's
not
just
individual
traumas
of
neglect
at
home
or
child
abuse.
It's
also
historical
traumas.
This
legacy
of
Jim
Crow,
this
legacy
of
slavery
has
been
passed
down
and
we
now
know
through
neuroscience
through
biology
that
traumas
passed
down
in
the
womb
they
passed
down
through
the
DNA.
O
We
must
confront
this
awful
history,
the
stain,
and
we
must
look
at
the
people
in
that
history
who
were
resilient
and
fought
back
and
persevered
and
made
a
way
out
of
no
way.
I
speak
at
length
about
this
this
week
and
last
week
because,
as
I
said
they're
not
last
week
two
weeks
ago,
we
too
often
don't
speak
about
this
and
in
our
schools
we
consider
our
children
discipline
problems.
They
are
not,
they
are
not
what
they
are.
Are
human
beings
who
are
experiencing
trauma
and
we
have
not
taught
them
conflict
resolution.
O
O
You
I
have
done
what
I
can
to
get
those
youth
centers
into
maps
for
to
give
our
students
a
place
to
go,
and
I
am
begging
you
to
think
differently
about
education,
to
not
just
think
about
having
a
skill,
but
freeing
your
mind
and
thinking
about
the
importance
of
philosophy
and
psychology
until
we
do
this
cycle
continues,
but
I
have
hope
in
you.
I
have
hope
in
us
and
we
must
take
on
this
crisis
in
education.
We
must.
Our
children's
lives
depend
on
it.
Thank
You.
M
M
M
It's
not
an
option
when
you
go
through
the
Academy
you
get
trained
in
crisis
intervention
and
Ernie
specifically
said
because
we
know
that,
regardless
of
whether
it's
the
mental
health
unit,
that's
getting
called
to
a
getting
called
the
people
that
were
interacting
with
are
in
crisis,
whether
it's
a
domestic
dispute,
someone
got
into
a
car
wreck.
You
know
someone
was
assaulted,
everyone's
in
crisis
that
they're
interacting
with
and
so
having
that
training
is,
was
really
important.
M
The
community
mental
health
centers
are
the
access,
just
isn't
there,
so
they
still
has
about
forty
people
waiting
for
state
hospital
beds
in
jail
because
they
they
just
keep
cycling
through
and
so
they've
they've
stored
them
there
until
until
there's
a
bed
available,
and
then
they
express
that
because
again,
those
community
resources
aren't
available.
So
that
was
a
lesson
for
me.
M
Thank
you
to
the
Metropolitan
library
system,
special
collections
and
research
department
they've
been
helping
me
with
research
about
the
black
history
of
Ward
six,
and
someone
had
tipped
me
off
that
Tolan
Park
was
actually
named
after
an
african-american
individual
from
Michigan,
but
he
was
such
a
famous
person
at
the
time
of
the
naming
of
the
park
that
the
park
board
in
the
the
20s
and
30s
decided
to
name
the
the
park
after
him,
it
stolen
Park,
which
now
is
no
longer
city-owned.
It's
actually
essentially
the
lawn
in
front
of
the
goodwill
on
Reno.
M
So
if
you're
ever
driving
down
Reno
and
look
to
the
left
and
see
a
grassy
area
that
was
was
the
black
park
that
the
city
designated
in
the
20s
and
30s,
it
was
named
after
Eddie
Tolan,
who
was
an
Olympic
sprinter
and
speaking
to
councilman
Cooper's
stories
of
resilience.
You
know
he
was
an
Olympian
at
a
time
when,
when
you
know
there
was
still
segregation,
he
he
didn't,
have
the
same
opportunities
and
achieved
such
such
greatness
in
his
his
track
and
field.
M
So
I
have
that
posted
on
my
facebook
and
it's
a
really
interesting
story
also
mentions
the
development
of
Booker
T
Washington
Park
after
Toland
Park
was
was
sold
to
a
private
entity,
so
I've
been
learning
a
lot
about
word.
Sex
and
I
feel
it's
been
a
fascinating,
so
I
appreciate
councilman's
nice
as
inspiration
to
find
you
know
black
history.
Even
you
know
in
the
areas
of
town
where
we
don't
think
of,
as
historically
impacted
by
it
by
black
lives.
So
with
that,
oh
also.
M
Yes,
the
big
thing
so
I'd
like
to
invite
Megan
Mueller
from
the
homeless
Alliance
to
come
up
and
do
a
presentation.
I
know,
I've
been
giving
a
lot
of
calls.
City
staff
has
been
getting
a
lot
of
calls
about
folks,
camping
in
Ward
6
and
in
efforts
to
not
criminalize
people
living
outside.
Knowing
that
again,
those
community
resources
are
stretched
thin
and
doing
what
they
can.
M
D
Thank
you
so
much
and
like
she
said,
I'm
Megan,
Mueller
I'm,
the
director
of
community
capacity
building
for
the
homeless,
Alliance
and
Councilman
Hammond,
invited
me
to
come
speak
about
our
current
outreach
efforts.
We
are
proud,
as
a
community,
of
the
outreach
efforts
that
we
offer
to
people
experiencing
homelessness
and
so
I'm
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
with
you
today.
D
First
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
guys
this
list
of
our
coordinated
outreach
team
so
as
a
community
of
service
providers
II
have
found-
and
we
recognized
that
meeting
with
each
other
has
been
invaluable
in
our
efforts
to
end
homelessness
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
so
outreach
efforts
are
no
different.
These
partners
that
are
listed
on
this
slide
convene
monthly.
That
meeting
is
convened
in
partnership
between
the
homeless
Alliance
and
the
city
of
Oklahoma,
City
homeless,
service,
division
of
the
planning
department.
So,
each
month
we
have
these
partners
meeting
together
around
the
table.
D
Working
together
you
can
see
we
have
nonprofit
government
faith-based
and
even
some
smaller
grassroots
organizations
who
all
participate
in
that
monthly
meeting,
and
the
point
of
the
meeting
is
to
ensure
that
we
are
aware
of
each
other's
efforts.
As
you
know,
resources
are
limited,
so
we
don't
want
to
be
duplicating
efforts
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
and
areas
of
our
community
aren't
falling
through
the
gaps
and
some
of
the
main
efforts
that
we
address
through
that
coordinated
outreach
meeting
our
outreach
mapping,
which
informs
our
annual
point
in
time
count.
D
You
also
help
get
the
word
out
regarding
cold-weather
contingency,
and
we
try
to
find
additional
ways
that
we
can
collaborate
and
work
together
more
efficiently.
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
this
photo.
This
is
a
snippet
of
the
outreach
map
that
we
update
regularly
through
those
coordinated
outreach
meetings.
So
this
is
a
living
document
and
every
month
we're
looking
at
it
together
with
those
partners
just
to
give
you
some
context
for
what
you're
looking
at
on
the
map,
the
yellow
dots
indicate
camps,
so
those
would
be
locations
where
there
are
multiple
people.
D
D
We.
We
know
that
we
cannot
solve
problems
that
we
cannot
define.
So
keeping
this
map
up-to-date
becomes
a
crucial
part
of
our
outreach
efforts
and
and
really
the
efforts
of
our
community
as
a
whole
to
End
Homelessness,
like
I,
said
that
map
informs
our
annual
point
in
time
counts.
So,
each
year,
during
the
fourth
week
of
January,
we
send
out
over
250
volunteers
into
our
community
to
help
us
survey,
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness.
This
year
we
had
our
most
thorough
count
to
date,
largely
in
part
due
to
those
efforts
by
the
coordinated
outreach
team.
D
The
data
that
we
collect
through
point-in-time
informs
housing
interventions.
It
informs
programming
and
it
helps
us
secure,
HUD
funding.
So
that
is
a
really
important
function
of
our
art
coordinator,
outreach
team.
Additionally,
outreach
providers
help
get
the
word
out
about
cold-weather
contingency
to
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
community.
You
can
see
on
this
slide.
The
winter
of
2017
2018
was
a
really
difficult
one
for
our
community.
D
We
lost
16
people
that
year
to
cold
weather,
related
deaths,
and
so,
as
a
community,
we
decided
we
needed
to
do
better
and
we
came
up
with
a
cold-weather
contingency
plan,
which
has
been
hugely
successful,
I'm
so
again
through
those
efforts
of
coordinated
outreach,
kind
of
getting
the
word
out
to
people
who
are
on
the
streets
that
there
are
cold-weather
options
available
to
them.
We've
seen
a
decrease,
and
in
the
last
two
years
we've
only
had
one
person
passed
away
due
to
cold
weather
related
death.
D
I
wanted
to
also
let
you
guys
know
about
some,
citing
new
outreach
resources
that
are
becoming
available
in
our
community.
The
Mental
Health
Association
is
working
to
get
an
outreach
team
off
the
ground.
The
hope
is
that
they'll
have
three
to
four
people
involved
in
that
outreach
team
and
a
really
exciting
component
of
their
outreach
efforts
will
involve
an
online
kind
of
request
form
for
the
community
to
access
so
that
community
members
are
empowered
to
contact
outreach
providers
directly
when
they
have
outreach
concerns
homeless
Alliance.
We
also
have
one
person
right
now
full-time
doing
outreach.
D
She
is
focused
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City
and
just
since
she's
been
on
staff
since
November
of
2019,
she
has
met
45
people
just
in
the
downtown
core
who
are
experiencing
homelessness.
Ten
of
those
people
were
experiencing
what
we
call
chronic
homelessness,
and
many
of
them
have
already
been
connected
to
case
management
services
and
are
working
towards
housing.
D
So
we
know
that
in
our
community
camps
are
are
an
issue
you
get
complaints
about
them
because
they're
visible,
but
we
also
know
that
the
way
to
eliminate
camps
in
our
community
is
through
permanent
housing,
so
outreach
works.
Outreach
is
a
way
to
help
connect
individuals
to
those
housing
assets
in
our
community.
It's
not
a
silver
bullet
a
lot
of
times
our
outreach
workers
are
making
repeated
contacts
with
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
in
order
to
build
rapport
and
Trust.
D
So
it's
not
always
just
a
one
and
done
situation,
but
it
does
work
and
so
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
just
some
success
stories
and
our
outreach
employee
through
the
homeless
Alliance.
Her
very
first
complaint
calls
for
outreach,
came
from
Oklahoma
City
Public
Schools.
There
was
a
family
of
six
camping
by
the
river
and
they
had
been
there
for
years
within
one
week
of
conducting
outreach
that
family
was
connected
to
permanent
housing
and
mental
health
services,
and
so
outreach
does
work.
It's
an
alternative
to
calling
the
police
as
we
speak.
D
On
this
slide,
we
are
committed
to
helping
outreach
providers
understand
better
when
camps
are
located
on
private
property
versus
public
property,
where
we're
committed
to
continuing
to
convene
with
that
group
and
another
big
takeaway
was
making
sure
that
we're
funneling
complaints
through
the
Action
Center
so
again
that
we
have
better
data
that
we
can
better
define,
define
the
issue
so
that
we
can
continue
to
work
together
and
collaborate
to
address
the
problem.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
I.
M
D
Are
not
we're
not
that
rigid?
Our
outreach
provider
is
really
well
connected
to
the
downtown
business
alliance
meeting,
so
she
attends
all
of
those.
For
you
know
automobile
alley,
brick
town
plaza
paseo.
She
is
going
to
all
of
those
Business
Alliance
meetings,
so
we
are
really
trying
to
get
the
word
out
and
educate
the
community
at
large
about
outreach
resources
that
are
available
to
them.
D
M
M
O
They
were
talking
about
and
39
and
I-44
and
overpass
in
terms
of
just
coming
kind
of
messy
and
then
when
it
gets
windy
as
its
want
to
do
here
in
Oklahoma,
the
trash
starts
blowing
all
over,
and
this
constituent
said
you
know,
I
thought
about
requesting
a
trash
can
but
then
thought
who
would
pick
it
up
and
empty
it,
and
would
it
be
used
for
other
purposes,
I'm
just
curious.
What
we
can
do
in
that
area.
I've
heard
that
right.
I
I
It's
really
not
a
frequency
like
we're
going,
you
know
we're
hitting
every
area,
it's
like
as
we
get
complaints
and
we
see
areas
we
have
needs.
We
go
out
and
try
to
address
those
areas.
A
lot
of
times,
it'll
be
a
camp
where
they
try
to
get
the
people
to
move
on
from
an
area
where
they
are
and
we'll
do
a
cleanup
from
that.
As.
O
Well,
so
well,
and
this
one's
not
specifically
a
an
encampment
they're
right
at
4040
like
that
that
underpass
right
near
I'm,
just
I,
don't
know
kind
of
two
counts
person
Hammond
to
point
like
I
feel
like
I
when
I
respond
to
this
constituent,
I'm
gonna
tell
them.
You
know,
of
course,
reach
out
to
the
you
know
the
the
hot
team
you
know,
but
I
feel
like
they're
concerned
in
this
particular
instance,
is
more
just
the
aesthetic
the
look
of
that
underpass.
I
We
can
take
a
look
at
that.
It's
not
really
something
that
we've
got
a
proactive
program
right
now
that
we're
just
addressing
the
colonialist
has
come
to
the
mayor's
point
at
some
of
the
beautification
and
trying
to
have
some
resources
there.
We
don't
currently
have
a
program.
We
address
issues
as
they
arise,
but
we
don't
currently
have
a
program
that
we're
dealing
with
that
kind
of
issue
with
just
litter.
It's
in
specific
areas.
O
What
would
so
I've
been
thinking
about
that
area
quite
a
bit
in
terms
of
beautification
and
maps?
For
for
sure
what
can
I
tell
the
constituents
right
now
who
are
concerned
as
they
go
on
next
door?
I,
don't
I
preserve
my
sanity.
I
can't
do
that
yeah.
Let
me
let
me
look
at
it
was
geez.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
you
I.
M
H
Thank
you
so
much.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
Bobcats
in
the
house,
yeah
yeah
yeah
and
miss
Burton
for
bringing
the
young
people
to
be
a
part
of
our
City
Council
meeting
on
today.
So
I
hope
you
all
have
learned
something
in
this
process,
then
and
hope
to
continue.
The
conversation
with
y'all
very
soon
do
have
a
few
things
here:
Friends
of
pets.
They
are
doing
free,
spay
and
neutering
right
now
at
the
unity
Baptist
Church
1701,
north
Nebraska
Avenue.
H
So
that's
for
anyone
living
in
the
73
one
one,
one
zip
code.
So
if
you
have
a
pet
and
you
care
for
your
pet,
you
love
your
pet
I
would
suggest
you
get
that
pet
spayed
or
neutered,
unless
you
just
want
them
to
have
some
babies.
Why
not
also
want
to
commemorate
the
legacy
of
dr.
WH,
slaughter
and
I?
Didn't
mention
this
the
last
meeting,
but
the
very
first
Saturday
of
the
month,
and
it
has
continued
throughout
the
Saturdays
for
Black
History
Month
at
the
WH
slaughter
mansion,
which
is
owned
by
the
Youngblood
family.
H
If
you
look
up
his
history,
you
would
know
he
was
a
very
rich
doctor
if
a
Negro
doctor
is
what
they
called
him
and
he's
the
reason
that
quite
a
few
other
physicians
came
to
be
a
part
of
Oklahoma
City
and
he
also
owned
an
airport.
He
added
his
own
airport
and
airplanes
and
different
things
like
that.
So
I
know
we
talk
about
the
legacy
of
of
Greenwood
district
and
the
things
that
they
were
building
up,
but
the
same
thing
was
happening
in
the
deep
deuce
area.
H
That
I
think
a
lot
of
us
don't
realize
the
impact
in
the
capacity
of
african-americans
and
their
their
accomplishments.
There
also
Douglas
high
school,
want
to
give
them
a
special
shout-out
because
they
asked
for
me
to
come
and
speak
to
their
criminal
justice
class
for
Black,
History,
Month
and
they've.
Had
some
phenomenal
people
to
come
and
speak
weekly,
so
I'm
just
honored
that
they
asked
me
to
be
a
part
and
shout
out
to
a
couple
of
their
members
of
their
Judiciary
Committee
they're,
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
youth
and
government.
H
H
Another
thing
here,
I
wanted
to
make
mention
of
a
man
that
was
instrumental
in
my
life
that
passed
away
on
Saturday
morning.
His
name
was
dr.
J
H
Tucker.
He
was
the
pastor
of
the
Greddy
new
Zion
Baptist
Church,
where
I
had
been
I
have
been
a
member
at
this
church.
Since
I
was
six
months
old
and
he
was,
he
has
been
a
pastor
there
for
over
forty
seven
years
before
he
retired
and
his
legacy
obviously
lives
on.
And
if
you
know
the
the
big
white
church
that
sits
on
Kelley
right
by
northeast
high
school.
H
That's
where
dr.
J,
H
Tucker
was
the
pastor
and
his
legacy
and
will
go
on
forever
and
he
will
truly
be
missed
and
he
was
a
man
who
could
sing,
preach
and
pray
and
he
he
was
very
instrumental
when
my
father
died.
He
he
was
there
when
we've
had
family
have
had
a
lot
of
triumphs
and
also
a
lot
of
devastation.
He
was
also
there
and
it
was
it's
very,
very
hard
to
to
talk
about
the
passing
of
dr.
Tucker,
because
that
legacy
now
is
gone
from
that
church.
H
But
again
it
will
continue
to
live
on
through
Grady,
new
Zion,
Baptist,
Church
and
I
believe
they're
going
to
have
the
services
for
him
on
next
week.
So
our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
definitely
with
his
family,
his
children,
his
grandchildren
and
the
great
news
on
Baptist
Church
family
as
well
OKC
bleki
says
we
talked
about
it.
Please
make
sure
you
get
your
bingo
card.
If
you
have
it
it's
available
for
you,
all
you
got
to
do
is
go
to
OKC
black
eat
dot-com,
and
you
still
got
a
couple
more
weeks
and
again.
H
I
can
tell
you
where
to
go
in
this
Saturday.
You
can
hang
out
with
us
at
the
ice,
Events
Center
and
grill
from
9:00
to
10:30
for
a
Black
History
Month
breakfast.
So
we
want
everyone
to
be
a
part
of
that
and
to
councilman
Cooper
I
want
to
commend
you
on
history,
because
you
also
made
history
Black
History
for
us
last
year
becoming
the
first
African
American
outside
of
Ward
7,
to
be
elected
to
your
seat.
H
So
don't
think
you
left
your
kids
behind,
because
I
promise
you
every
time
I
encounter
a
young
person
that
you've
taught.
They
always
talk
about
you,
so
your
legacy
and
what
you've
done
to
instill
memories
and
those
young
people
will
continue
to
happen.
And,
as
you
talked
about
dr.
King,
you
made
me
think
of
King
in
the
wilderness,
which
is
a
documentary
that
I
suggest
everyone
see
it
commemorates
the
last
18
months
of
his
life
and
it's
on
HBO.
H
But
it
was
a
riveting
documentary
to
watch
to
just
understand
his
mindset
what
he
was
going
through.
It
also
talks
about
him
and
his
friends
that
were
with
him
when
he
was
in
Chicago
and
while
he
was
scared,
he
realized
when
they
moved
into
the
community
of
the
slum.
They
were
bringing
recognition
to
the
slums
and
how
we
we
needed
to
protect
those
folks
that
lived
in
these
spaces
and
just
listening
and
hearing
the
stories
and
understanding
his
impact.
Even
in
Chicago.
It
was
to
the
point
where
they
were
like.
H
Are
we
supposed
to
be
here,
but
then
there
were
knocking
on
the
door
that
same
afternoon.
Saying?
Are
you
really
dr.
King
and
that
brought
on
board
more
people
to
be
a
part
of
the
effort
for
it
for
whether
what
he
was
trying
to
do
in
that
era?
And
at
that
time?
And
as
we
talk
about
even
the
the
voting
I'm
reminded
of
the
organic
echo
of
1890,
which
was
passed
in
Oklahoma
a
year
after
our
land
run,
and
that
established
four
different
counties
within
Oklahoma
to
have
representation
for
Oklahoma
Territory
legislature?
H
But
that
was
also
challenged
in
1934
by
former
mayor
iw
lane
of
Red
Bird
red
bird
County.
He
was
a
the
mayor,
former
mayor
of
red
bird,
which
is
an
all-black
town
in
Wagner.
County.
Excuse
me,
so
he
challenged
that
and
they
were
able
to
strike
that
down.
So
we
also
go
back
to
as
we
look
at
the
literacy
test.
We
also
look
at
the
Jim
Crow
laws.
Oklahoma
instilled
their
first
Jim
Crow
law
in
1903.
H
So
that's
a
part
of
Black
History,
but
also
in
the
60s,
is
when
Ward
7
received
their
first
african-americans
to
obtain
these
seats,
so
the
first
appointed
again
was
dr.
Charles
Atkins,
the
first
elected
doctor,
al
Dao
and
I
want
to
read
the
names
of
others
who
have
came
before
in
the
seat.
Mr.
Gore,
at
Reverend,
gory
James
mr.
been
tempted,
tipton,
miss
Willa
Johnson
mr.
skip
Kelly
John,
Pettis
jr.
and
some
of
our
appointed
for
this
seat
have
been
Reverend
Lee,
Cooper
jr.,
dr.
Byron
Bisco
in
mr.
Delbert
Burnett.
H
So
those
are
all
of
those
who
have
held
this
space
for
Ward,
7
and
I
think
it's
very
important
to
speak,
their
history
and
their
commitments
to
their
communities
within
Oklahoma
City
and,
as
I
speak
about
that
I'll.
Leave
with
this.
Oh
I
want
to
commemorate
paulmor
day
too,
because
with
with
it
his
monuments
being
housed
in
Ward
7,
his
commitment
and
I
would
say.
H
If
you
have
not
seen
it
any
of
his
exhibit
get
on
that
water
taxi
and
just
ride
it
or
head
on
over
to
the
National
cowboy
Hall
of
Fame
Western
Heritage
Museum.
We
call
the
cowboy
Hall
of
Fame
still
but
head
on
over
there
and
see
some
of
his
other
smaller
pieces
that
he
has
that
are
on
display
there
and
again
I'll
leave
with
this.
It's
been
six
months
since
we
have
heard
of
a
promise
of
a
grocery
store
individuals
in
the
community
who
closed
their
previous
store.
H
There
have
been
some
issues
with
permits
as
I
guess
they
assume
that
you
can
just
build
and
and
do
whatever
you
want
to,
and
not
have
to
have
a
permit
to
do
so
and
I
think
that's
very
unfortunate
for
our
community
when
the
community
is
is
at
a
loss
right
now
and
we
still
have
people
who
say
they
are
wanting
to
do
things
in
the
community
and
obviously
we're
still
waiting
on
those
promises
that
continue
to
be
broken
towards
the
community.
But
well,
we
are
continuing
to
provide
those
rides
to
the
people
who
need
them.
H
H
I
also
suggest
that
you,
after
that,
go
to
those
small
box
discount
stores
to
see
how
many
trips
people
have
to
take
in
order
for
them
to
truly
fulfill
their
grocery
lists
in
order
to
get
their
needs
met
for
their
families
and
for
the
communities.
So
it's
very
unfortunate
and
it's
a
loss
for
our
community,
but
we
are.
H
We
are
ready
for
the
positive
things
that
are
coming
to
the
community
as
well,
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
hard
to
ensure
that
we
get
what's
best
for
the
community
and
work
towards
even
a
community
owned
grocery
store.
That's
something
that
we're
also
working
towards
and
working
through
those
efforts
as
well.
So
those
are
things
I
wanted
to
ensure
that
I
mentioned
for
this
month
and
also
again
commemorate
the
legacy
of
who
have
came
before
in
this
seat
for
black
history.
Thank
you.
I
The
budget
transfers
reports
just
a
report.
We
give
an
update
to
the
council
and
any
transfers
between
budget
categories
or
departments
that
are
made,
so
that
is
in
your
packet.
The
February
sales
and
use
tax
collections
report
is
in
here
also
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
it
with
Russell
at
the
workshop.
What
the
projections
that
we
had
on
the
budget
information
that
we
provided
to
you
included
the
February
sales
tax.
It
was
a
good
check.
Sales
and
use
tax
check
was
a
good
check.
I
It
brought
us
back
to
where
we're
just
barely
above
target
combined
for
sales
and
use
tax
sales
tax,
a
little
below
target
use
tax
a
little
bit
above
target,
but
we
are
expecting
right
now
with
just
information
we
received
from
Russell
to
see
that
sales
tax
key.
We
need
Explo
going
into
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
in
the
next
fiscal
year,
and
so
that's
what
we're
working
on
our
budget
now
to
make
adjustments
to
fit
within
the
resources
that
we
have
so
we'll
continue
to
update
it.
Also
if
we
have
animation.
Okay,
it's.
I
A
N
I
have
a
vertical
farming
company,
so
the
objective
has
been
to
basically
set
up
a
vertical
farm
inside
of
a
grocery
store
in
the
northeast
side.
That
will
provide
those
people
in
that
community
with
healthy
produce
that
they
wouldn't
get
from
either
a
Whole,
Foods
or
sprouts
or
a
home
land,
and
that's
being
able
to
raise
the
quality
at
end,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
things
we're
in
inside
the
media
and
when
you
see
things
being
talked
about
it,
those
are
the
things
that
aren't
being
highlighted.
N
Those
are
the
things
that
aren't
being
talked
about.
The
only
thing
you
hear
the
same
kind
of
rhetoric
about
you
know
how
somebody
or
how
different
people
dislike
or
have
a
problem
with
the
grocery
store,
as
opposed
to
whether
those
benefits
that
this
grocery
stores
can
come
and
bring
to
the
community
if
it
had
the
same
support.
And
so
that
was
the
only
thing
that
I
wanted
to
say
and
thank
you
for
his
honor.
N
U
It
doesn't
matter
about.
Do
I
like
you
or
not,
it's
a
matter
that
I
am
representative
of
my
whole
community
over
here
now
then,
okay,
we
say
it's
a
issue
with
a
permit.
Well,
these
people
have
been
in
business
long
enough
to
know
that
a
permit
is
necessary,
so
I
want
to
know.
Is
it
just
a
permit,
or
is
there
somebody
in
the
back
scenes
in
the
back
door,
clearly
preventing
it
from
hooking
up
links
to
make
sure
that
this
project
works?
Now
then
this
person
isn't
one.
U
Let
me
tell
you
one
thing:
I
will
not
bring
up
the
name
for
the
most
part
in
idle
respect
with
that.
But
let
me
take
these
same
people
close
this
store
down
on
northeast
2013,
Martin
Luther
King
August
of
last
year.
Quite
naturally,
I
was
one
of
the
ones
furious
and
made
my
appoint
Chloe
in
the
media,
social
media.
If
you
have
you
now,
however,
but
if
they
want
to
make
amends
now
and
say,
look
here,
we
want
to
come
back
in
because
we
realize
a
mistake
we
made,
which
they
openly
stated.
U
We
should
be
embracing
these
people
now
I
permit.
So
that's
telling
me,
then
that
you
had
a
store
open
previously
before
what
is
the
real
thing
here
then
you're,
building
up
the
store
this
homeland
is
how
excuse
me
this
high
up
upland
store
in
the
36th
Street
district
of
Kelly
you're
fixing
it
up
putting
the
beer
boys
on
the
outside
go
on
in
and
strengthen,
but
now
it
doesn't
make
sense
that
you
would
know
to
have
a
minute.
Some
is
something
wrong
with
that
picture.
U
Now,
then,
when
you
have
a
representative
of
the
north
east
side
of
Oklahoma
City,
we
should
not
be
out
criticizing
those
who
want
to
put
a
business
in
our
sector.
We
should
be
saying:
what
can
we
do
to
help
you
I
can't
get
mad
at
you,
because
you
closed
down
a
store
and
didn't
clean
up
a
landfill
that
is
treacherously
unhealthy
and
safe
for
the
environment
of
people
in
the
northeast
side.
But
let
me
tell
you
out
one
thing:
we
need
this
point
made
clear.
U
We
need
to
let
everybody
know
that
more
than
30
thousands
of
people
are
hungry.
We
don't
need
somebody
tell
me.
Let
me
ride
you
to
Midwest
City
to
pick
your
groceries
up
and
we
certainly
don't
need
to
go
down
to
that
sunshine
Grove.
So
let
me
tell
y'all
something
right,
quick
and
I'm.
Indeed,
I'm
the
one
that
made
them
people
I
said:
look
ya'll
need
to
take
that
10%
off.
This
is
madness,
and
this
garbage
that
y'all
got
down
here.
So
yes,
you
definitely
stops
the
spoke
right
about
that
and
guess
what
else
too?
U
We
get
ready
to
try
to
shut
that
down.
Oh
that's,
gonna
hurt
everybody
isn't
enough.
It's
gonna
make
them
people
get
up
and
really
do
the
sunshine
that
they
really
been
missing
on
we're
gonna
put
some
light
on
that.
Damn
moment
there
in
closing
City
Councilwoman
nice,
it's
important
that
you
reach
out
to
these
people
and
if
that
needs
being
mediator
to
come
in
between
you,
I
will
gladly.
H
Clearly,
we
don't
need
a
mediator
and
I
want
to
re-emphasize
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
a
problem
with
anybody
bringing
a
business
into
the
community.
But
let's
do
it
correctly
in
with
the
community
in
mind
and,
unfortunately,
that's
what
they
have
not
been
able
to
do.
Despite
what
others
have
said
and
again,
if
you
want
to
bring
something
into
any
community,
you
have
to
do
it
the
right
way.
H
That
also
means
you
have
to
have
permits
for
any
business
or
for
any
home
in
order
for
you
to
have
a
viable
structure
for
others
to
be
safe.
So
safety
is
my
concern
for
the
community
so
until
they
have
those
permits-
and
yes,
they
have
had
a
business.
We
appreciate
them
for
that,
and
you
know
thank
you
for
bringing
the
same
stuff
back.
Thank
you,
but
as
we
work
towards
whatever
they're
trying
to
do,
we
still
don't
have
it.
So
again,
we
don't
need
a
mediator
for
that.
H
X
X
X
It
didn't
just
start,
but
as
a
citizen
I'm
tired
of
it,
the
corporate-controlled
tired
of
that,
and
if
anybody
wants
to
come
in
to
benefit
my
community,
everybody
should
welcome
them
and
guide
them
to
take
care
of
what
needs
to
be
taken
care
of
not
push
it
to
the
side
and
wait
on
homeland
or
here
everybody
that
will
benefit
each
in
order.
The
conglomeration
so
I'm,
not
good
at
speaking,
but
that's
all
I,
have
to
say.
