D
C
E
Absolutely
and
I'm
going
to
keep
this
short.
I
know
we've
got
a
long
agenda,
a
couple
of
things.
We
want
to
try
to
keep
in
mind
we're
at
the
halfway
point
essentially
of
what
we
have
introduced
regarding
a
30-day
extension
to
the
mass
mandate,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
in
the
community
understands
that
we're
all
trying
to
get
to
the
finish
line
of
this
pandemic.
E
Unfortunately,
it's
not
up
to
us
to
decide
that
the
only
thing
that
we
can
decide
is
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
the
lives
and
livelihoods
of
those
in
the
community,
and
I
won't
go
through
all
the
numbers,
but
I
would
just
say
that
right
now,
montgomery's
still
in
the
high
risk
category,
we
still
have
not
broached
the
threshold
that
I
would
like
for
us
to
be
at
when
it
comes
to
getting
adults
vaccinated
in
this
community
and
right
now,
as
of
yesterday,
I
think
for
the
buying
administration
we
have
anyone
from
16
or
above
can
be
vaccinated.
E
So
we've
been
working
again
with
our
private
partners,
as
well
as
the
alabama
department
of
public
health
to
try
to
make
these
vaccinations
as
accessible
as
we
can,
and
I
can't
stress
enough
to
those
that
want
to
see
us
get
to
a
point
where
we
are
so
concerned
about
covert
19,
that
the
best
way
for
us
to
try
to
do
that
is
to
make
sure
we're
sharing
why
it's
so
important
to
get
vaccinated
in
the
first
place,
and
I
know
that
there
are
many
things
that
that
have
come
up
that
are
keeping
people
from
getting
those
vaccinations.
E
But
we're
trying
to
do
everything
we
can
as
a
city
to
to
make
that
easier.
We
have
reached
out
to
companies
like
uber
to
provide
fifteen
hundred
dollars
in
transportation
credits
to
vaccination,
appointments
we're
working
with
other
nonprofits
to
try
to
get
the
word
out
to
churches
and
communities
to
those
that
want
to
be
vaccinated.
E
We
understand
there's
still
concerns
there
are
questions
around
that,
but
as
we
get
to
this
halfway
point
for
montgomery
to
be
still
in
the
high
risk,
category
is
problematic,
and
so
we've
got
to
really
think
about
that.
Over
these
next
two
weeks,
so
that
when
we
come
back
before
this
body,
we
will
have
not
only
better
stats
and
information,
but
hopefully
better
outcomes
as
it
relates
to
getting
this
community
the
vaccines
that
it
needs.
E
So
I
just
want
to
stress
that,
and
I
won't
beat
on
the
podium,
but
it's
just
important
for
us
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
share
the
word
and
let
the
our
residents
know
that
we
are
not
out
of
this
just
yet,
and
we
certainly
want
to
be
in
a
better
place.
In
a
couple
of
weeks
at
the
next
council
meeting,
we
will
have
to
discuss
again
that
vaccine.
Yes,
sir
mayor.
A
I
didn't
want
to
interrupt
you,
but
we
got
our.
We
got
our
second
shot
yesterday
and
I
wanted
to
commend
miss
thornton
chief
jordan
and
the
fire
department
chief
findlay
and
the
police
department.
How
smooth
it
was
so
easy
to
do
in
and
out,
and
you
know
numerous.
A
A
And
it
wasn't
bad,
but
how
smooth
it
was
and
and.
C
While
we
got
the
news
media
here
very
good,
I
agree
with
that.
While
we
got
the
news
media
here,
you
can
get
a
shot
in
this
town,
almost
anywhere
you
go,
and
I
I
wish
the
news
media
would
take
a
time
in
your
publication
or
your
news
that
you
publicize
how
many
places
you
can
get
a
shot.
If
you
want
to
get
a
shot,
I
mean
I
I
don't
know
of
all
of
them,
but
I
know
our
fire
department's
got
them.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
the
drug
stores
have
got
them
most.
C
All
drug
stores
have
got
them.
Sams
has
got
it.
I
think
walmart's
got
it.
I
mean
they're
everywhere.
So
if
you
want
a
shot,
you
don't
have
to
wait
in
line
very
long
to
get
it,
and
all
you
got
to
do
is
make
that,
but
I
would
appreciate
the
news
media
giving
us
a
a
little
push
on
this,
because
that's
something
that
would
help.
I
know
they'll
be
looking
at
you
for
the
information
on
this
tonight
so
publicize,
where
all
they
can
get
them.
C
You
know,
because
we
need
these
people
to
have
the
shots
and
get
get
this
thing
over
and
get
it
behind
us.
I'm
with
you
mayor,
we
don't
we
don't
we
need
to
we,
don't
we
we're
doing
better,
but
we
got
to
get
these
folks
with
shots
in
the
arms
and
don't
let
anybody
fool
you?
It
don't
hurt
pruitt's
joking,
it's
very.
I
never
knew
I
had
it.
I
was
over
and
done
before
the
the
guy
said.
You're
doing
I
said
I
am.
I
thought
you
fixed
a
start
anyway.
E
C
E
And-
and
we
want
to
continue
to
encourage
all
of
you-
everyone
has
a
sphere
of
influence.
Everyone
has
others
that
they
can
help.
Try
to
understand
why
it's
important,
but
for
us
we
need
to
move
forward
as
a
community
and
get
back
to
doing
more
things
in
person,
whether
it's
worshipping
in
person,
whether
it's
socializing
in
person
and
things
along
those
lines.
It's
going
to
be
important
for
us
to
see
an
increase
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
E
We've
got
to
see
an
increase
over
the
next
two
weeks,
so
we're
going
to
be
having
a
different
type
of
discussion.
I
think
when
we
come
back,
so
we
want
to
do
everything
that
we
can
from
the
city
side
we're
working
to
again
partner
with
anyone
and
everyone
to
remove
all
the
obstacles,
all
the
barriers
for
those
that
have
transportation
issues
or
health
concerns
or
questions
or
even
any
financial
concerns
around
insurance
and
things
along
those
lines.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
that
information
out
there
we'll
continue
to
try
to
do
that
and
for
anyone
that
may
be
listening
or
watching
the
council
meeting.
If
you
have
any
questions,
just
dial,
311
and
we'll
make
sure
we
get
you
connected
as
well,
but,
as
president
said,
we
are
seeing
a
lot
of
participation
from
drug
stores
and
other
retailers
as
well
to
go
along
with
our
government
outlets.
E
So
I
hope
we
can
improve
over
these
next
couple
of
weeks
and
when
I
do
so,
those
numbers
we'll
be
in
a
much
better
place.
Moving
on
to
something
that
that's
also
important.
E
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
a
resolution
that
I
know
the
council
will
address
here
in
just
a
few
minutes,
and
that
is
minority
participation
resolution
that
that
we're
asking
for
support
on
we're
doing
this,
because,
although
it
is
been
taken
about
a
previous
council
under
this
administration,
we
have
not
brought
this
back
to
the
forefront.
E
But
along
with
what
we're
seeing
in
other
entities,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
these
things
to
bring
everyone
into
the
fold
of
the
city
and
to
bring
everyone
the
same
economic
opportunities
that
many
others
have
had.
What
we
see
in
this
community
is
an
equity
gap
among
black
businesses
in
particular,
and
among
businesses
of
color.
E
They
have
not
gotten
the
opportunity
to
get
the
support
from
financial
institutions
they've
not
gotten
the
opportunity,
therefore,
to
grow
and
scale
their
business
in
a
way
that
we
would
like
to
see
it
as
a
community.
And
when
you
look
at
healthy
communities
and
those
communities
that
are
growing,
they
not
only
have
a
diverse
way
of
doing
things
socially
and
politically,
but
also
economically,
and
we
need
to
be
one
of
those
communities.
E
And
while
we've
made
some
progress
in
the
political
sense,
unfortunately,
there's
been
a
lot
of
stagnation
in
the
business
since
and
we
have
not
seen
our
rate
of
businesses
grow,
whether
it
be
women-owned
businesses
or
again,
whether
it
be
businesses
that
are
owned
by
people
of
color.
E
And
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
things
we
can
from
the
city
side
to
help
spur
that
growth
and
to
help
spur
some
of
the
information
that
is
needed
in
order
to
get
these
businesses
to
be
able
to
get
on
their
feet
and
to
participate
fully
in
the
progress
of
the
economy
of
montgomery
central
alabama
and
this
entire
state.
And
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
is
to
try
to
centralize
our
procurement
process.
E
That's
something
that's
been
very
unique
for
montgomery,
but
not
unique
to
other
communities.
It's
something
that
we
know
is
very
important
for
us
to
be
able
to
track
the
information
that
is
needed
to
make
sure
that
those
businesses
that
may
be
deemed
at
a
federal
level
as
a
minority,
business,
enterprise,
mbe
or
disadvantaged
business
enterprise
dbe,
do
have
the
the
opportunity
to
bid
on
contracts
with
the
city
to
fully
participate
as
any
other
resident.
E
Small
business
owner,
mid-sized
business,
a
large
business
owner
can
do,
and
we
hope
that
by
doing
this,
that
we
not
only
educate
many
of
our
business
owners,
but
we
give
them
hope
and
opportunity
to
participate
in
what
they're
seeing
happening
around
them
in
this
city
and
for
us
it
makes
not
only
business
sense
to
do
this.
It
makes
common
sense
to
do
this.
It's
very
very
important
that
we
have
a
strong
business
network
that
is
representative
of
the
population
of
this
city
and
right
now
we
just
simply
don't
now.
E
One
program
will
not
change
it,
but
one
program
with
intentionality
and
deliberation
on
how
we
can
improve
will
help
that
and
that's
what
we
are
attempting
to
do
here.
And
so
we
signed
on
with
a
consultant,
ziegler
moore
group,
to
help
us,
along
with
the
county,
to
push
this
forward
and
so
we'll
be
pushing
out
some
ideas
and
we'll
be
initiating
some
contact
with
those
business
owners
that
have
done
state
business
that
have
done
local
business
that
have
done
national
business.
E
To
maybe
be
an
example
to
be
a
mentor
or
to
be
a
partner
with
other
businesses
here
and
to
show
all
of
the
businesses
and
those
businessmen
and
women
who
want
to
participate,
how
they
can
do
that.
And
if
we
do
that,
then
we
strengthen
our
economy.
We
strengthen
our
opportunities
here
to
grow
as
a
community.
We
strengthen
our
tax
base
and
we
allow
more
people
to
have
access
to
jobs
locally
here
than
we
currently
have
right
now.
E
So
I
look
forward
to
council
taking
up
this
resolution
and
I
certainly
look
forward
to
more
importantly,
playing
an
active
role
in
helping
this
initiative.
Not
just
be
one
that
that
we
talk
about
today,
and
we
don't
hear
about
until
sometime
next
year,
but
we're
been
one
that
is
a
really
living
breathing
example
of
ways.
E
Government
can
help
spur
economic
development
can
help
provide
equity
to
those
that
have
been
left
out
and
left
behind
in
the
business
sense,
and
can
be
an
example
and
can
be
if
you
will
a
spur
for
those
businesses
that
are
looking
for
their
first
opportunity
to
get
that
contract
to
get
that
big
client,
whether
it's
cutting
grass,
whether
it
is
doing
software
development,
whether
it
is
as
an
accounting
firm
regardless
of
what
it
may
be.
E
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
being
fair
and
we're
being
intentional
about
this
community
in
ways
that
are
just
not
political
but
those
ways
that
are
economic
as
well
as
impact
our
financial
progress
as
well.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
council
taking
that
resolution
up
under
this
administration,
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
it
with
the
fullness
that
we
have.
Finally,
I
want
to
address
one
last
resolution
that
is
on
this
particular
agenda,
and
that
is
the
resolution
expression
support
for
renaming
jefferson
davis
avenue
to
attorney
fred
gray
avenue.
E
I
think
it's
it's
important
that
this
body
understand
truly
where
we
are
in
this
moment
and
we're
sitting
on
a
day
that
was
somewhat
tense
for
many
of
us
as
we
awaited
the
verdict
of
a
trial
that
involved
the
unarmed
involved,
the
killing
of
an
unknown
black
man
in
another
city
in
another
state.
E
Harkins
back
many
have
said
over
these
last
few
months
to
a
time
when
one
did
not
have
those
rights,
and
so
when
we
think
about
how
we
got
to
where
we
are,
we
have
to
think
about
those
who
helped
pave
the
way,
and
we
are
very,
very
proud
that
we
have
a
native
son
one
born
and
raised
in
montgomery,
who
led
that
fight
from
a
very
young
age,
and
that
is
attorney
fred
d
gray.
E
E
I
want
to
thank
them,
as
they
are
here,
to
represent
the
family
in
this
endeavor,
because
what
we're
seeking
to
do
here
really
is
to
bring
light
and
bring
honor
to
someone
who
doesn't
need
anything
symbolically
done.
Who
didn't
ask
for
any
of
this
to
be
done,
but
is
one
who
deserves
it
anyway
and
when
I
think
about
attorney
gray
and
I
think
about
the
intersection
of
rosa
parks,
avenue
and
jeff
davis
avenue,
it
seems
to
me
they
stand
in
stark
contrast
to
who
we
say.
E
We
are
as
a
city
and
who
we
say,
we
are
in
a
state
and
who
we
say
we
are
as
a
nation,
and
although
symbols
are
not
everything,
symbols
do
tell
stories
and
symbols,
tell
stories
about
who
we
uplift
and
who
we
honor
and
who
we
believe
to
be
representative
of
where
one
stands
at
a
certain
point
in
time.
And
so
when
we
think
about
this,
I
want
us
to
think
about
it
a
little
bit
beyond
just
a
name
change
or
even
just
beyond
a
procedural
act
that
we're
taking
here.
E
It
really
goes
to
what
this
nation
has
sought
to
become
and
what
this
city
has
sought
to
become
as
well,
and
so,
when
I
think
about
renaming
our
first
proposal
some
months
ago,
I
think
that
this
fits
with
where
we
want
to
go
as
a
community
with
where
we
want
to
go
as
a
city
into
a
new
montgomery
into
a
new
200
years
of
existence
and
what
will
be
said
and
who
will
those
that
come
after
us
look
to
us
as
those
that
we
saw
to
be
honorable
and
you'll
have
to
forgive
me
if,
if
I
don't
believe
that
one
whose
grace
graces
the
name
of
the
high
school
that
I
graduated
from
is
honorable,
I
just
don't
believe
that.
E
I
think
that
the
man
that
we
have
on
this
picture
and
the
man
that
still
practices
law,
as
he
reminded
me
when
we
spoke
to
this
day,
is
someone
that
we
ought
to
honor.
So
when
I
went
to
talk
to
him
about
how
the
city
could
honor
him,
I
didn't
know
what
he
was
saying.
I
really
didn't
have
a
built-in
answer.
E
I
don't
know
that
I
would
have
said
that
to
a
mayor
if
he
were
to
ask
me
that
I
don't
know
if
I
would
have
wanted
anything
given
what
he
faced
and
given
what
he
had
to
deal
with,
both
he
and
his
family,
and
so
many
others.
And
so,
when
we
think
about
this.
This
is
about
really
those
like
attorney
grade,
who,
I
don't
think
has
ever
I've
never
heard
him
refer
to
himself
as
a
civil
rights
hero.
E
But
who
was
just
referred
to
himself
as
really
someone
who
was
doing
what
he
believed
in
someone
who
had
a
purpose,
and
this
is
about
making
sure
that
those
who
fought
to
make
montgomery
alabama
and
the
state
is
inclusive
in
a
full
society
that
we
recognize
them,
and
then
we
honor
them,
and
very
often
we
don't
give
people
roses
while
they're.
Here
we
wait
until
they
pass
on.
E
I've
never
believed
in
that.
I
have
always
believed
in
saying
thank
you,
and
I
love
you,
and
I
appreciate
you
long
before
I
ever
thought
about
anything,
political
and
so
for
me,
this
is
about
being
able
to
share
and
show
with
attorney
great
what
this
body
believes
not
just
again
through
symbols,
but
through
substance,
and
this
is
about
honoring,
a
man
who
grew
up
during
the
toughest
of
times
in
this
city
and
still
has
very
fond.
E
Memories
of
those
times
still
has
very
fine
memories
of
the
work
that
he
and
many
others
dealt
with,
and
so
this
isn't
for
me
necessarily
just
about
culture
or
heritage.
It's
about
what
makes
our
city
unique
in
itself.
What
makes
it
something
that
we
can
unify
behind
and
you
know
we
can't
fight
a
lot
about
the
past
and
we
can't
fight
a
lot
about
what
happened
before
our
time.
But
we.
E
What
we
can
do
is
impact
those
things
that
are
before
us
right
now
and
what
I
just
want
us
to
consider
here
is
that
there's
a
lot
more
that
holds
us
together.
That
I
think
is
embodied
in
the
life
and
the
words
and
the
work
of
attorney
gray
than
I
think
ever
was
in
a
president,
jefferson
davis,
and
I
think
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
acknowledge
that.
E
Not
only
because
I
asked
him
what
he
might
think
about,
that's
really
secondary,
but
really
because
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
really,
because
that's
where
we
are,
I
believe,
as
a
community,
and
so
the
street
itself
is
symbolic,
because
when
we
think
about
that
street-
and
we
think
about
those
intersections
that
it
crosses
over
or
we
think
about
rosa
parks
having
we
think
about
e.d
nixon,
we
think
about
all
of
those
streets.
E
E
E
But
if
we
could
think
about
this
from
the
standpoint
of
the
signal,
we
talked
about
symbols,
but
the
signal
that
we
seek
to
send
and
that
we
want
to
send
not
just
to
this
community
but
to
those
that
visit
here
to
those
who
read
about
montgomery
to
those
who
want
to
learn
more
about
montgomery
about
why
this
attorney
should
be
just
as
well
known
as
any
of
the
other
attorneys
that
people
have
learned
about
in
their
history.
E
The
court
cases
whether
it
was
browder
b
gale
and
many
others
that
have
been
impactful
far
beyond
this
city
hall
and
these
state
lines.
I
hope
that
we
would
think
about
it
from
that
perspective,
because
I
certainly
understand
the
procedural
steps
that
have
to
have
to
be
taken.
That's
why
we
haven't
been
able
to
formalize
it
now,
but
sometimes
government
can
get
in
the
way
of
itself.
E
Sometimes
government
can
get
in
the
way
of
doing
what's
good
and
what's
right,
and
it's
very
interesting
that
we're
here
discussing
that
because
that's
exactly
what
government
did
that
brought
attorney
gray
onto
the
scene
in
the
first
place,
government
and
people
who
use
laws
and
ordinances
in
this
city
to
keep
others
in
a
certain
place.
G
C
Tim
and
I
don't
see
the
district
attorney
but
y'all
are
going
to
make
a
presentation
council.
G
Okay
evening
to
mayor
reid,.
I
G
President
gen
wright
and
to
the
rest
of
the
council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
be
able
to
speak
on
behalf
of
mr
daryl
bailey,
our
district
attorney
about
this
wonderful
program
that
continues
to
make
an
impact
in
our
city.
You
all
were
so
gracious
to
continue
to
contribute
toward
our
program,
and
one
of
our
responsibilities
is
to
continue
to
keep
you
abreast
of
our
progress,
and
I
think,
that's
probably
more
important.
Now
than
ever.
G
In
light
of
the
pandemic
that
we've
experienced
and
a
number
of
challenges
that
families
are
facing,
because
my
time
obviously
is
limited.
I
do
have
a
report
for
each
of
you
to
ponder
at
your
own
convenience,
containing
data
and
information
in
regards
to
the
specifics
about
our
program.
But
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
talk
about
a
couple
of
things
that
I
think
are
important
for
all
of
us
to
be
aware
of.
As
we
move
forward
making
an
impact
in
our
city.
G
I
think
it's
important
for
all
of
you
to
know
the
fine
folks
that
I
work
with
who
do
a
great
job
fighting
for
families
in
this
city
every
single
day,
and
I
just
want
them
to
stand
or
raise
their
hand.
We
have
miss
takiyah
young,
who
is
the
program
supervisor.
We
have
miss
barbara
bruce.
Who
is
our
administrator?
G
We
have
miss
brenda,
owens
brown,
who
is
one
of
our
case
officers,
and
we
have
mr
joe
cameron,
who
also
serves
as
one
of
our
case
officers.
Our
staff
is
very
small,
but
it
is
not
parallel
with
the
work
that
we
actually
do.
We
do
a
massive
amount
of
work
every
single
day
fighting
for
our
families,
helping
montgomery
families
initiative
is
the
only
comprehensive
intervening
program
in
our
city.
What
I
mean
by
that
is
we
serve
every
neighborhood
in
this
city.
We
serve
all
family
types,
whether
it
be
traditional
or
non-traditional
families.
G
We
intervene
in
any
type
of
parental
relationship,
those
that
are
hostile,
those
that
are
on
the
brink
of
disaster,
and
in
between
that
we
intervene
in
any
type
of
family
crises.
There
is
no
type
of
crises
that
a
family
can
experience
in
our
city
that
we
can't
get
in
the
middle
of
and
offer
some
assistance
in,
but
right
now
a
number
of
our
families
in
our
city
are
in
a
crisis.
G
Virtual
learning
is
beneficial
in
the
sense
that
children
have
some
continuity.
We
want
our
children
to
be
educated.
We
want
them
to
have
the
opportunity
to
learn,
but
it
has
also,
as
many
of
us
read
and
even
national
news,
that
it
has
created
a
number
of
challenges
for
our
young
people
and
for
our
families.
G
There
is
a
significant
loss
of
learning
that
the
school
district
is
trying
to
address,
and
some
wonderful
summer
programs
that
are
coming
up.
We
recognize
there's
been
a
significant
loss
of
learning.
Throughout
the
school
year
there
has
been
an
increase
in
youth
criminal
behavior,
because
a
number
of
our
children
are
not
being
parented
correctly,
because
a
number
of
our
children
have
more
access
than
they
normally
have
had.
A
lot
of
our
children
are
making
decisions
that
are
not
positive
in
our
community.
G
There
is,
unfortunately,
an
uptick
of
abuse
and
unfortunately,
we
won't
really
know
the
full
extent
of
abuse
that's
taken
place
in
our
community
until
after
the
pandemic
is
over.
So
there
are
a
number
of
challenges,
and
even
our
department
in
the
da's
office
has
had
significant
challenges
because
of
the
limitations
of
the
scope
of
our
work.
Because
of
the
issue
of
what
truancy
is
the
laws
historically
about
truancy?
G
Don't
always
apply
to
virtual
learning
and
there's
been
much
debate
in
our
community
and
over
the
entire
nation
about
what
we
do
about
truancy
during
this
particular
time,
and
so
there
are
some
things
that
we
project
coming
up
in
the
next
school
year.
Face-To-Face
learning
at
some
point
will
inevitably
reconvene,
and
we
are
glad
about
that.
We
should
hope
that
for
all
of
our
children,
but
the
manifestations
of
the
challenges
that
the
students
face
during
the
pandemic
will
most
certainly
be
demonstrated
and
manifested
in
the
schoolhouse
in
our
community.
G
All
of
the
things
that
are
happening
behind
the
scenes
in
each
of
these
homes,
they'll
bring
those
things
back
into
school
and
that's
going
to
create
significant
challenges
for
the
school
system
and
for
our
community
truancy
will
be
inevitable
and
helping
montgomery
families.
Initiative
will
be
the
first
logical
tools
for
families
that
are
facing
a
crisis.
G
So
hmfi
exists
to
reduce
the
manifestations
of
the
community-wide
trauma
that
we
know
that
these
families
are
dealing
with
not
just
from
statistical
data
but
from
our
dialogue
and
interaction
with
families.
Every
single
day.
The
open
doors
program
that
we
unveiled
in
december
in
the
district
attorney's
office
has
been
a
wonderful
and
very
efficient
program,
and
I
have
information
for
you
to
read
in
regards
to
all
the
things
that
this
program
does.
But
when
children
are
exposed
to
violence
homicides
we
have
not
had
programs
in
the
city
that
would
immediately
address
those
issues.
G
A
few
years
later,
we
get
a
call
from
one
of
the
school
counselors
saying
this
young
lady
has
run
away
from
home
at
the
age
of
17.
She
was
pregnant.
She
was
living
with
the
gentleman
and
she
was
no
longer
living
at
home.
She
had
a
volatile
relationship
with
her
parents.
We
know
how
these
stories
end
and
they
don't
end
in
positive
ways.
So
after
we
got
the
call
our
case
officer,
brenda
owens
brown
reached
out
to
this
young
lady,
they
were
able
to
figure
out
what
was
wrong.
G
They
intervened
in
that
situation
that
young
lady
had
no
prenatal
care
before
this
point
now.
She's
getting
that
care
that
young
lady
had
no
relationship
with
her
parents
now
she's
back
home,
where
she
needs
to
be
that
young
lady
had
dropped
out
of
school
now,
she's
back
in
school.
There
are
dozens
and
dozens
and
dozens
of
stories
like
this-
that
we
experience
every
single
day,
and
I
don't
have
the
time
to
share
all
that
with
you,
but
that
just
really
speaks
to
the
effectiveness
of
our
program.
G
And
again
we
are
the
only
comprehensive
intervening
program
in
our
city,
we're
the
only
program
that
can
offer
any
possible
way
for
children
and
families
to
be
helped.
So
where
do
we
go
from
here?
It
was
frederick
douglass,
former
slave
and
future
scholar
who
once
said
it
is
easier
to
build
strong
children
than
to
repair
broken
men.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
continue
to
ask
for
your
support
again.
G
The
information
is
detailed
in
our
report
that
you
can
read
for
yourself,
but
if
you
are
praying
folks-
and
I
believe
that
you
are-
we
want
you
to
pray
our
strength,
because
the
issues
that
we
are
facing
now
are
larger
than
they've
ever
been
before,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
serve
these
families.
Even
you
as
well.
As
you
know,
your
districts,
if
you
know
of
families
that
need
our
services,
we
can
help
and
we
can
help
immediately
and
we're
very
proud
to
be
able
to
say
that.
C
G
So
we
have
been
limited
because
of
that,
but
because
we
have
developed
more
programming,
families
can
reach
us
on
their
own
and
they've
been
doing
that
and
of
course,
our
open
door
program
responds
to
all
of
the
crises
regarding
violence
in
our
city.
So
we
have,
we
are
more
busy
actually
than
we
have
been
before,
perhaps
not
in
the
traditional
hmfi
program,
but
our
new
programs
have
really
compensated
for
that.
C
C
B
Yes,
sir,
good
evening,
I've
got
a
powerpoint
to
show
it's
got
two
one
minute:
videos
in
it
before
I
get
to
that.
I'd
like
to
brief
the
council
on
what
has
expired.
The
last
50
days
on
march
1st
2021
montgomery
fire
rescue,
received
a
complaint
about
america,
pallet
of
truth
and
roadway
with
with
pallets.
B
B
On
april
6,
mr
stokes
appeared
before
the
city
council.
He
did
clear
the
fire
access
road,
but
did
not
clear
any
other
fire
code
violations
that
were
corrected.
That
was
supposed
to
be
correct.
The
city
council
granted
mr
stokes
two
additional
weeks
to
april
20th
2021,
which
is
the
day
to
comply
with
all
fire
code
requirements.
B
Mr
stokes
was
made
aware
of
the
violations
that
remain
and
allowed
the
two
weeks
to
create
these
violations.
However,
during
these
two
weeks,
he
is
not
able
to
do
so.
B
On
april
15th,
we
performed
a
drone
flyover
to
visual
mr
stokes
progress
and
complying
with
the
pallet
storage
fire
code
requirements
as
apparent
the
drone
footage
that
mr
stokes
had
made
no
progress
whatsoever
in
creating
any
of
the
fire
code
violations.
I
let
mike
actually
put
a
put
the
powerpoint
up
there.
These
are
the
following:
remaining
fire
code:
violations
of
the
international
fire
code
that
was
adopted
among
the
city
ordinance.
B
The
storage,
piles
of
wood
chips
exceed
25
feet
in
height
150
feet
in
width
and
250
feet
in
length.
Wood
chip
piles
are
not
separated
by
the
approved
apparatus,
access
road.
He
has
no
portable
fire
extinguishers
provided
within
75
feet
of
each
pallet
stack
portable
fire
extinguisher
minimum
of
a
4860
bc
are
not
provided
on
all
vehicles
and
equipment
operating
on
wood
chip,
piles
and
processing
equipment.
B
B
He
has
no
street
ad
address
identification
numbers
that
are
not
clearly
that
are
not
posted
at
all
and
also
america.
Pilot
does
possess,
does
not
possess
a
city
of
montgomery's
certificate
of
occupancy
or
business
license
for
the
buildings
located
on
the
1605
furnace
street
property,
which
is
a
property
he
has
adjacent
to
that
that
he
is
actually
moving
pallets
on
that
property
as
well.
B
Over
this
slide,
you
see
on
march
15th
you
see
to
the
left.
This
is
actually
his
1545
furniture
street
property.
You
see
what
the
result
is
of
april
19
2021.
The
only
thing
you
see
is
to
the
right
of
it
along
that
fence.
He
has
moved
pallets
off
somewhat
off
that
property
line
and
made
that
access
road.
B
This
is
1605
furnace
street.
This
is
the
secondary
property
that
he
has.
This
is
the
property
he
has,
that
does
not.
He
does
not
hold
a
certificate
occupancy
on
or
business
license
to
operate
on.
B
C
I
I
He
been
there
twice
this
morning.
He
came
through
that
twice
before
then,
where
before
he
even
says
this,
he
go
around
to
his
butt
house
and
he
ride
and
he
ride
until
that
the
palace
got
out
of
here
and
I
got
a
sick
dick
out
of
here,
because
we
were
trying
to
get
this
other
problem.
So
I
can
move.
I
got
equipment
to
do
everything
I'm
not
crying
by
nothing.
I
Oh,
but
you
can't
get
nobody
help,
but
we've
been
working
diligently
every
day
except
on
sunday
to
get
that
place
clean,
get
to
get
the
place
straight
now,
keep
in
mind,
it's
been
two
years
and
changed
since
the
fire
call
like
right.
I
think
last
time
yeah
y'all
asked
questions
on
my
wife
started
how
to
fight
star.
I
He
told
me-
and
I
still
don't
know
and
then,
when
the
man
walking
you're
asking,
then
I
bet
you
can
either
one
of
y'all
could
tell
me
you
know
he
just
left
it
now
he's
so
concerned,
but
I
say
it's
personal,
although
I
don't
get
in
all
that
he
went
personally
and
I
made
complaints
the
last
time
he
was
down
here.
He
told
me
he
walked
through
the
place
he
ain't
been
back
since
then.
Now
he
walked
through
the
place
and
he
told
me
a
month.
He
probably
just
nothing
to
work
on.
I
I
I
You
can't
get
nothing,
you
can't
get
no
help.
I've
had
up
until
july,
that's
when
they
got
ahead
of
25
people,
but
all
this
free
money
and
all
this
stuff
flow
around
and
you
can't
get
people
coming
away
when
they
want
you
know,
and
then
some
don't
even
come
pick
the
checker
I
just
is
making.
I
just
don't
know
you
don't
tell
me
before
that.
I
got
all.
C
I
I
agree,
but
guess
what
just
keep
this
in
mind?
It's
been
two
years
of
change
all
right:
he
ain't
never
come
over
there
any
and
they
used
exciting
training
right
through
it
and
he
walked
through
there
to
come
through
that.
Well.
C
I
C
I
I
A
I
B
Here:
here's
the
property,
what
it
actually
should
look
like
if
it
was
in
compliance
with
fire
code,
as
you
can
see,
this
would
actually
would
have
been
would
look
like
if
it
was
in
compliance
with
fire
code.
B
B
B
B
How
many
pallets
he
has
and
how
much
actually
is
burning,
how
you
know
this,
this
fire
moved,
probably
within
three
minutes
or
so
about
engulf
the
whole
place.
I
C
I
C
A
C
You
me
and
you:
okay,
hey,
don't
no,
don't
worry
about
him
me
and
you
all
right.
We
got
a
fire
problem.
Okay,
you
can
get
a
fire
that
could
put
a
lot
of
folks
out
of
business
and
hurt
a
lot
of
firemen.
Okay,
that's
what
we
got
to
protect!
You
got
to
do
it.
I
can't
do
it.
You
got
to
do
that.
Okay,
look.
I
I
F
J
K
So
so,
what's
going
on
is
return,
we
need
more
time
to
fix,
fix
the
problems.
We
just
not
have
enough
time.
Two
weeks,
there's
not
enough
time
to
make
those
spaces
in
between
that's
all
we're
asking
he
just
keeps
coming.
He
did
like.
I
said
my
dad
said
he
only
rode
by
twice
this
morning
and
never
even
came
inside
to
walk
the
place
or
anything
he
showed
you
drone
footage.
From
yesterday
we've
been
working
up
to
at
least
till
four
o'clock
today,
trying
to
figure,
fix
everything,
and
then
it's
not
enough
time.
K
G
K
Just
bought
that
property,
so
I
wasn't
aware
that
we
needed
occupancy
of
business.
Obviously,
so
that's
that's
just
some
learning
paperwork
that
we
need
to
do
and
there's
nothing
else,
we're
just
having
problems
with
getting
the
we
just
purchased
it,
but
we
still
haven't
received
the
the
appropriate
paperwork
to
even
file
for
anything
right
now,
because
we're
still
waiting
on
the
I
don't
know
myself
like
we
need
to
yeah.
K
I
A
H
I
Don't
take
a
minute
because
we
can't
get
no
help.
I'm
telling
you
in
japan
I'll
pay
people
to
come
in
and
come
back
and
get
a
check
ain't,
nobody
working
and
I'm
not
crying
about
that.
I'm
trying
to
get
all
the
stuff
in
there,
but
the
amazing
stuff,
like
the
five,
a
little
simple
stuff
like
the
five
stings
and
different
stuff,
like
that,
he
never
brought
that
all
up.
You.
C
F
F
We
started
this
two
months
ago
and
we
don't
have
to
walk
from
the
building.
We
have
technology,
such
as
the
drone.
We
can
see
where
everything
we
need
to
see
everything
you
guys
saw.
The
problem
is
not
just
the
codes.
It's
177,
17,
firefighters,
two
two
and
a
half
years
ago
go
out
there
every
time
our
firefighters
go
out
there
and
I'm
responsible
for
those
firefighters.
F
F
Now,
that's
just
straight
up
mr
stokes,
and
I
I
want
you
to
have
a
business,
but
you
cannot
have
a
business
from
the
way.
I
see
it
in
all
these
violations
and
keep
putting
these
men
and
women
in
harm's
way
because
we
have
a
fire
like
we
had
three
years
ago,
everybody
in
the
city,
everybody
in
this
council.
The
mayor
is
going
to
expect
us
to
go
out
and
put
it
out
and
we
just
cannot
keep
putting
our
firefighters
in
this
situation.
I
F
You
know
what
the
the
requirements
are.
We
should
not
have
come
out
there,
we're
not
going
to
say
anyone
should,
but
once
we
are,
we
don't
understand,
and
we
know
that
there
is
a
issue
and
we
yeah
we
have
to
be
on
it.
We
can't
be
in
20
000
places
at
one
time,
there's
thousands
of
businesses.
F
We
probably
have
not
been
out
there,
but
after
that
fire
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
you
shouldn't
want
us
back.
I
A
C
C
D
C
D
With
him,
but
over
the
last
two
weeks
we
hadn't
seen
any
progress
in
order
for
it
to
get
the
progress
done.
I
don't
ever
want
to
put
nobody
out
of
business,
but
I
think
we
need
to
suspend
the
license
for
30-45
days
or
whatever
it
takes
to
get
it
done,
and
let
him
come
back
before
the
council
to
get
his
license
in.
B
We
we
would
recommend
licensed
minister
spending
until
he
gets
all
his
violations
corrected.
That's
every.
I
D
What
we
asked
you
to
do
was
willing
to
work
with
you,
but
I
think
not
trying
to
put
you
out
of
business,
but
if
we
suspend
your
license
and
let
you
just
concentrate
on
getting
it
back
before,
we
want
you
to
stay
in
business
in
montgomery,
you're,
paying
taxes,
and
so
that's
what
we
want
to
do.
But
we
can't
keep
putting
you
know.
We
represent
the
city,
montgomery
fire
department
and
I'm
in
going.
We
can't
keep
putting
them
in
homes
where
we
can't
see
progress.
I
Let
me
ask
you
one
thing
I
can
see
on
his.
He
said:
keep
making
progress
right,
that's
by
his
standard,
it's
not
palace
out
there.
You
understand,
we
moved
a
lot,
a
thousand
thousand
pounds
and
now
he's
saying
that
they're
wrong,
he
went
finding
other
stuff.
So
don't
get
me
wrong.
He
ain't
writing
it
down
at
there
to
see
what
I
supposed
to
do.
Help.
D
C
H
I
H
A
D
H
C
K
Spoke
with
ms
graham,
and
I
believe
they
may
have
spoken
boy
we
did
since,
since
the
last
council,
we
went
and
checked
all
our
3-1
service
requests
related
to
deerfield
drive.
K
20
of
those
requests
were
made
for
various
properties
on
deerfield
drive,
five
of
which
being
specific
to
532
all,
but
one
are
related
to
parking
issues,
and
this
most
recent
one
that
we
spoke
about
at
the
last
council
has
since
been
closed
out
and
complied,
and
the
property
is
in
good
standing
with
us
as
as
of
right
now,.
H
Well,
what's
going
on
is,
is
my
neighbors
have
something
against
me
and
they
have
been
talking
to
mr
purdle,
I'm
not
sure
if
those
were
personal
requests
made
by
my
neighbors
or
whatever,
but
he's
just,
I
guess
been
complying
with
them.
You
know
with,
I
guess,
harassing
me
trying
to
run
me
out
of
the
neighborhood,
because
I'm
not
parking
under
the.
H
I
have
a
country
in
my
yard
and
it
drops
stuff
on
my
cars
and
it
kind
of
molds
to
the
paint
of
my
car
so
and
we
were
having
quite
a
bit
of
storms
last
year,
so
I
parked
in
front
of
in
front
of
my
mailbox
near
the
the
the
fire
spigot
on
the
side
of
the
street
and
they
were
calling
saying
that
those
were
violations,
but
they
weren't
violations.
H
K
H
It
out
they
went
and
closed
it
out.
They
realized
that
you
were
fine
about
that,
that
you
know
it
was.
It
was
such
a
small
infraction
that
you
know.
So,
that's
all
straight.
You
don't
have
anything
to
worry
about
about
that.
That's
that's
taken
care
of
okay.
As
long
as
everything
is
taken
care
of
and
nobody's
coming
by
my
house
making
false
statements
and
stuff
like
that,
because
I
take
care
of
my
property
just
like
anybody
else.
H
I
don't
feel
that
I
need
to
cut
my
grass
every
week,
like
my
neighbors,
think
I
should
and
they're
calling
down
they're
saying
that
it's
a
issue
when
it's
not
I
work
I'm
a
mother
of
three.
I
have
an
autistic
son,
so
you
know
I
have
very
little
time
to
do
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
I
do
take
care
of
my
home.
My
house
is
clean
inside
and
out
and
as
long
as
you
know,
I
don't
have
anyone
from
the
city
or
anywhere
else
coming
back
to
my
house.
You
know
I'm
fine
with
that.
H
J
K
K
K
Going
to
be
mr
dan
dickey,
okay,
mr
thomas
carr,
I
think
miss
ingrid
and
mr
mickey.
I
think
it
was
one
other
person.
Okay,.
A
Play
raise
your
hand,
unanimous
motion
to
adopt
raise
your
hand.
D
A
C
D
President,
the
resolution
reads
right
now:
resolution
expressions.
J
D
Right,
so
what
I
want
to
change
is
the
resolution
expression
support
for
naming
attorney,
fred
gray,
avenue
to
jeff
davis
avenue
and
jeff
davis
avenue
to
a
resolution,
expression,
support
for
naming
a
undetermined
site
or
street.
After
attorney
fred
gray,.
A
They
were
here
earlier,
we
had
a
conversation
with
chief
findlay
and
I
think
they
stepped
out
after
that.
Okay.
G
We
we
had
a
meeting,
we're
gonna,
have
a
meeting
this
friday
at,
I
believe
it's
11
and
to
discuss
the
plan,
the
security
plan
and
what
business
plan
they
have
different
than
before,
and
then
we
will
give
them
a
favorable
recommendation
to
reopen
in
two
weeks.
If
we
reschedule
it.
A
D
Mr
president,
yes,
just
that's
for
the
record,
mr
attorney
president.
Yesterday
especially
and
I
understand,
and
I
had
some
questions
I
wanted
to
ask,
and
I
wish
they
would
have
stayed
you
know,
because
we
could
have
got
down
the
road
to
find
out
what's
their
what's
different
in
the
plan
that
they
have.
You
know
we
we're
going
we're
going
to
vote
on
this
up
or
down.
So
I
think
it
would
have
been
due
diligence
for
them
to
stay
and
try
to
give
us
what
they're
trying
to
do
that's
doing
it's
different
yeah.
C
C
Public
hearing
on
this,
we
just
have
a
resolution,
so
this
will
be
carried
over
for
two
weeks
and
we'll
tackle
it
on
the
next.
Let's
press.
D
D
J
They
appealed
the
revocation
of
their
business,
license
we're
in
touch
with
the
abc
board.
They
haven't.
I
don't
think
they've
done
anything
specific
with
the
business.
Their
liquor
license.
They're
waiting
on
the
outcome
of
the
appeal.
Okay,.
H
C
K
C
D
I
bought
the
strip
mall
on
madison
avenue,
okay
and
because
of
the
code
and
compliance
I
didn't
want
to
change.
A
D
C
A
C
K
C
E
E
E
C
J
A
J
I
want
to
check
the
mayor's
first.
Do
you
want
to
take
the
mayor's
ordinance
first.
C
Yeah
the
audience
on
real
property.
J
J
D
J
C
J
C
D
K
Sure
talk
to
you
about
setting
up
a
feasibility
committee
on
in
city,
impound
and
the
city
toy
okay,.
K
J
D
J
D
C
D
K
Question
for
the
mayor
mayor
on
our
american
rescue
act.
Have
we
got
any
specifics
on
how
that
money
have
we?
You
know,
because
I
have
a
lot
of
drainage
and
sewage.
You
know
in
my
area
that
my
residents
are
calling
me
on.
I
just
want
to
see
where
we
on
getting
that
money
or
being
able
to
use
that
money.
E
E
So
as
soon
as
we
get
that
information
which
I
know
I
find
this
direct
debate,
people
will,
let
me
know,
we'll
be
setting
up
some
conversations
with
all
of
you
to
kind
of
see
how
we
want
to
go
about
doing
that
in
your
districts.
