Apr 29, 2021 Executive Meeting

[00:00:17]

TEST >> THE RIGHT AGENDA HERE. WE'VE GOT SEVERAL THINGS WE

[Additional Item]

ROUND OF APPLAUSE. [APPLAUSE] >> I'M GOING TO CALL ON MR. BAKER, WHO WANTS TO MAKE AN INTRODUCTION. AND THEN WE'VE GOT A VERY SPECIAL PRESENTATION WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT. MR. BAKER.

>> I WANT TO INTRODUCE THE COUNCIL TO OUR NEW ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, CANDICE JONES.

CANDICE RECEIVED HER BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE FROM AUSTIN STATE UNIVERSITY IN 2006.

SHE RECEIVED HER JURIS DOCTORATE FROM THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF LAW IN 2011.

HER PRIOR EXPERIENCE, WORKED AS AN ASSISTANT GENERAL COUNSEL WITH THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN SERVICES SINCE AUGUST OF 2015. AND PRIOR TO THAT, GOING BACK TO 2012, SHE WAS IN THE PRIVATE PRACTICE OF LAW, SHE HAD HER OWN LAW FIRM AND SHE WORKED IN A LOCAL FIRM AS WELL FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. SO I JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO CANDICE. SHE -- WE HAD A MULTI-MEMBER PANEL THAT CONDUCTED A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS AND THE ULTIMATE CANDIDATES, THE LAST COUPLE HAD TO GO THROUGH TWO VERY LENGTHY EXTENSIVE QUESTIONING SESSIONS. SHE DID A GREAT JOB. SHE WAS UNANIMOUS PICK OF ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PANEL. AND I'M JUST SO PROUD TO PRESENT TO HER TO YOU.

SHE IS GOING TO DO WONDERFUL THINGS FOR THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE.

>> PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING CANDICE TO THE CITY EMPLOYEE FAMILY.

[APPLAUSE] >> IT'S CUSTOMARY THAT THE NEW ATTORNEY SING THE SCHOOL FIGHT SONG. NO? OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. I'M OUT OF ORDER.

I RULE MYSELF OUT OF ORDER. HERE WE GO. WE ARE NOW PREPARED TO HEAR

[1) MAYOR’S YOUTH COUNCIL]

A SUBJECT NEAR AND DEAR TO THIS GROUP AND SHOULD BE NEAR AND DEAR TO EVERYBODY.

SO HANNAH IS ON MY LEFT, YOUR LEFT AND BROOKLYN IS ON YOUR RIGHT.

AND WE WILL RECOGNIZE YOU AND IF YOU WOULD LEAD US THROUGH YOUR PRESENTATION.

>> MAYOR PITTS AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I AM HANNAH DODSON.

>> I AM BROOKLYN BANKS. WE BELIEVE THAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL IN THE CIVICS CLASS SHOULD BE NOT JUST TO EDUCATE STUDENTS WITH THE HISTORY OF OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, BUT TO EDUCATE STUDENTS TO BECOME CITIZENS WHO VOTE, THINK AND ACTIVELY INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN THEIR

COMMUNITIES. >> THUS IT WOULD MAKE THE MOST SENSE, AFTER PASSING THE STATE MANDATED U.S. CITIZENSHIP TEST FOR STUDENTS TO GET TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS, WHICH DETERMINE POLICY CURRICULUM THAT AFFECT OUR DAILY LIVES.

>> WAIT. TEENS VOTE, BUT THEY ARE NOT WELL INFORMED OR INTERESTED ENOUGH ABOUT POLITICS TO MAKE ANY DECISIONS ABOUT THAT AGE. FACT.

ADULTS ARE JUST AS LIKELY TO BE UNINFORMED OR DISINTERESTED. TENNESSEE AS A STATE IS 45TH IN POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT. CEMENTING VOTING AS AN HABITUAL BEHAVIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL MAY SERVE AS AN EFFECTIVE MOTIVATOR TO TURN THIS POLITICAL INACTIVITY AROUND.

16 YEAR OLDS ARE NOT SUDDENLY GOING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT GOVERNMENT WHEN THEY TURN 18.

COMPLETED WITH THE REAL LIVE COMPONENT OF REGISTRATION AND VOTING.

>> YOUNG PEOPLE ARE EASILY PERSUADED MORE BY OLDER PEOPLE. AND THEY DON'T GET ALL OF THE

[00:05:03]

>> SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE GROWING AND FALSE MEDIA SPREADING FAST, IT'S DIFFICULT TO SAY THAT THESE AGES ARE WELL EQUIPPED WITH SUCH RESPONSIBILITIES.

FACT, SOCIAL MEDIA AFFECTS ALL AGES. CIVICS EDUCATION TO UNVEIL HOW THE MEDIA CAN BE USED TO MANIPULATE USERS TO VIEW ALL MEDIA CRITICALLY.

RECOGNIZING FAKE NEWS AND FAULTY PROPAGANDA. >> SOME TEAMS MAY EVEN TAKE VOTING IN CERTAIN ELECTIONS AS A JOKE, WITHOUT PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR ACTIONS AND REPERCUSSIONS. FACT, 10,188 TENNESSEE ADULTS VOTED FOR KANYE WEST IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THE CHANCES OF A JOKE PROPELLING INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS TO THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL POLLING SITES, PROCESSING THE BALLOT INDIVIDUALLY AND BEING THE PRIME MOTIVATOR IS MARKING THE BALLOT IS SLIM. NO GREATER THAN WITH ADULTS.

OBVIOUSLY, IT ISN'T ONLY A CHANCE FOR TEENS. >> THE MOST POWERFUL ARGUMENTS FOR ALLOWING 16 AND 17 YEAR OLDS TO VOTE. SOME TEENAGERS CANNOT FULFILL THEIR OWN CIVIC DUTY BY VOTING. ALLOWING TEENAGERS TO VOTE IN SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS WILL ALLOW THEM TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS OF VOTING FOR CERTAIN CANDIDATES BASED ON

THEIR OWN INTEREST. >> FACT, MANY OF US DO HAVE PART-TIME JOBS AND WE EARN WAGES FROM WHICH THE MONEY IS TAKEN OUT BY THE CITY AND STATE FOR OUR TAX PURPOSES AND YET, WE HAVE NO VOICE. OUR POLL FOUND THAT 50 PERCENT OF NYC RESPONDENTS HAD PART-TIME JOBS. THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS REPORT THAT 1.46 MILLION TEENS WORK PART-TIME JOBS. ISN'T THAT TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION?

>> BOTTOM LINE, WE ARE NOT ARGUING FOR TOTAL TEEN SUFFRAGE, BUT FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN LOCALIZED SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS. SOPHOMORE STUDENTS WOULD TAKE THE COUNTY MANDATED CIVICS SEMESTER CLASS, TAKE THE STATE MANDATED U.S. CITIZENSHIP TEST AND UPON PASSING IT WITH A 70 OR ABOVE, BECOME ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER IN THE NEXT MONTGOMERY COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. ALLOWING 16 AND 17 YEAR OLDS WHO ARE INTERESTED ENOUGH TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS WILL REINFORCE THE CIVIC HABIT OF VOTING

BEFORE GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL. >> WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS NEW IDEA MAY TAKE SOME TIME, MAY MAKE SOME OF YOU UNCOMFORTABLE AND THAT IS OKAY. THE MEMBERS OF THE NYC JUST WANT TO START A DIALOG. FIND OUT HOW WE CAN MAKE OUR GOAL HAPPEN FOR TEENS WHO WORK HARD EVERY TIME TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY LETTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND

ATTENTION. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[2) ASSESSOR OF PROPERTY]

COUNCIL PERSON, HOLLOMON, YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION. >> ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. SO HVU IS GOING TO BE GETTING BOOKS WHICH YOU ALREADY RECEIVED. I'M NERVOUS. EDGAR HARRELL IS A GENTLEMAN THAT LIVES HERE IN TOWN ACTUALLY, CRAZY STORY. I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO HIM AT A ROTARY EVENT. HE SPOKE. THAT IS WHERE I ORIGINALLY LEARNED THIS CRAZY STORY. STORY STARTS OFF WHERE HE'S GETTING ON THE USS INDIANAPOLIS, BASICALLY LIKE HIS HOME. THEY'RE ASSIGNED A SECRET MISSION. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. ALL HE KNOWS IS THAT THERE IS A GIANT CRATE AND THEY BRING IN WELDERS TO WELD A CAGE AROUND THIS CRATE.

SO THAT WAY IT CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. MAN, THIS IS SERIOUS.

SOMETHING REALLY BIG IS GOING ON. THAT CRATE WAS ONE OF THE NUCLEAR BOMBS THAT WAS GOING TO BE DROPPED ON JAPAN. FAST FORWARD, AFTER THEY --

[00:10:13]

GETS COVERED IN OIL. AND CAN'T WASH IT OFF. THEY TRY TO GET SURVIVORS TOGETHER AND TRY TO SURVIVE. THERE IS GROUPS EVERYWHERE SCATTERED, ALL OVER THE PACIFIC. BASICALLY THE ENTIRE STORY OF HIM AND HIS SURVIVAL.

COME TO THAT POINT. AND HE IS IN HIS 90S RIGHT NOW. HE STILL LIVES HERE IN TOWN.

AND IT'S JUST A CRAZY STORY FROM A CRAZY TIME PERIOD. I LOVE HISTORY. AND I THINK I'M HONORED TO MEET MR. EDGAR HARRELL AND I HOPE Y'ALL, IF YOU DON'T READ IT, HANG ON TO

THE BOOK BECAUSE IT'S COOL TO HAVE. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PERSON.

IT IS AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY. >> YES. >> RICHARD WANTS TO TAKE YOUR

PICTURE. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY.

LET'S GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. MR. TYNDALL.

[3) PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING]

ITEM NUMBER 1, ORDINANCE 99-2020-21. >> OKAY.

GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL AND WELCOME BACK EVERYONE WHO IS STANDING BEHIND ME AND SITTING BEHIND ME. FIRST ITEM TODAY IS -- DID YOU GIVE THE ORDINANCE NUMBER? Z10-2021. THE AGENT IS MR. BRAD MARTIN. 4.74 ACRES, CURRENTLY ZONED E1, REQUESTING TO GO TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT 1, THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD CALL A PUD.

IF I USE THAT TERM PUD, IT MEANS PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS THE FIRST PUD SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE THREE YEARS. IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT YOU SEE A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR A PROPERTY THIS SMALL. I'LL GO THROUGH THE GENERAL ITEMS FIRST AND THEN GO OVER THE PLAN AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF IT. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE MAP, E1 AND R1 ARE THE TWO PREDOMINANT LAND USES OUT HERE. THIS PROPERTY IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF CEDAR CROFT DRIVE AND USSERY. OPEN FIELD WITH GENTLE SLOPES. HERE IS WHERE THE PROPERTY IS.

IT'S DOWN NEAR THE END ON THE RIGHT, AS YOU GET TOWARD THE END OF USSERY ROAD.

IT RISES BACK. CEDAR CROFT ACTUALLY LOOPS AROUND IT ON BOTH SIDES.

TWO STREET FRONTAGES, CEDAR CROFT, THE PROPERTY THERE ON THE LEFT.

THERE IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF IT. WE'LL GO BACK TO THE MAP. A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IS A ZONE IN WHICH THE APPLICANT NEEDS TO BASICALLY HAMMER OUT A LOT OF THE DETAILS FIRST.

IT'S NOT, WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING DOESN'T MATCH THE CURRENT ZONING THERE.

IT DOESN'T MATCH NECESSARILY ANOTHER ZONE THAT THEY COULD PICK FOR THE AREA.

WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING HERE IS SIX SINGLE FAMILY HOMES BETWEEN 3 AND 4,000 SQUARE FOOT EACH, ALL ACCESSED OFF THE REAR ALLEY. YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THE DARKER SHADING. THE CURRENT ZONING OUT THERE WOULD ALLOW FOR FOUR HOMES, FOUR ONE ACRE LOTS. IF THEY WENT TO R1, WHICH WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP DOWN, YOU COULD HAVE UP TO NINE UNITS. THEY DIDN'T THINK THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD LIKE NINE UNITS. BUT THEY THINK SIX WOULD BE MORE THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL.

SO THE APPLICANT AND THE AGENT DECIDED TO GO WITH THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

TYPICALLY YOU'LL SEE A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR MUCH LARGER PROJECT THAT MIXES MAYBE APARTMENTS WITH HOMES, COMMERCIAL, MORE INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE USE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ON THE SMALL SCALE.

[00:15:02]

A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, THEY CANNOT DETER FROM THIS PLAN, EXCEPT FOR MINOR, A COUPLE SQUARE FOOT HERE, A FOOT HERE, THEY HAVE TO BUILD SIX HOMES IN THIS RANGE, WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT OF THE HOME AND THE ORIENTATION TO THE ROAD. IT ALSO HAS AN OPEN SPACE COMPONENT AS WELL. AND I'LL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE.

SO THE KEY POINTS, AGAIN, SIX SLOTS, E1 AND R1 WOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DENSITIES. HOME SIZES, AGAIN, 3 TO 4,000 SQUARE FEET IS THE RANGE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOCKED INTO. SO IF THEY COME TO THE CODE DEPARTMENT AND TRY TO PULL A PLAN FOR A 4500 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE, THEY WOULD BE DENIED.

IF THEY TRY TO BUILD SOMETHING LESS THAN 3,000 SQUARE FEET, THEY WOULD BE DENIED.

25 PERCENT OF THIS 4.7 ACRES IS OPEN SPACE. 14 PERCENT IS GREEN SPACE.

THEY WILL BUILD A PAVILION IN THERE FOR THE RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS.

AND 11 PERCENT IS PAVEMENT AND THE ALLEYWAY IN THE BACK, WHICH WILL HAVE SIDEWALK THROUGH IT.

NO LANDSCAPING WAS REQUIRED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, SINCE YOU'RE DEALING WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AGAINST SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN THE AREA. THE STREET ACCESS WILL BE AT THE REAR OF THESE PROPERTIES, THROUGH THE ALLEY. AND THEN THE OTHER IMPORTANT PART OF A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IS THE CONSTRUCTION PHASING.

YOU CAN SEE IT THERE WHERE THEY WILL BREAK GROUND, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEWHERE IN DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR THEY PLAN TO BREAK GROUND AND BE COMPLETED WITH CONSTRUCTION IN JULY OF 2023, OF BOTH THE SITES AND ALL SIX HOMES. NO SEWER AVAILABLE ON-SITE.

SEVERAL PLACES TO TIE SEWER IN THE AREA. ONE OF THOSE POINTS OF THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE NAILED DOWN. THEY NEED TO FIND A WAY TO GET SEWER TO THE SITE. THERE WILL BE A GRATING PERMIT REQUIRED AND YOU CAN SEE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM COMMENTS REGARDING THE CAPACITIES OF SOME OF THE SCHOOLS IN THE AREA. THIS IS IN THE MEDICAL DISTRICT.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THE REQUESTED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED LAND USE PLAN AND COMPLIES WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE. THE PROPOSED PUD ZONING IS NOT OUT OF CHARACTER WITH THE EXISTING E1 IN THE AREA. ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SERVE THE SITE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ATTACHED PUD REPORT IN YOUR FILES FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

AT THIS POINT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU.

ANYBODY HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ORDINANCE 99? COUNCIL MEMBER ALLEN, YOU'RE

RECOGNIZED. >> IT'S JUST LIKE A SMALL ENCLOSED SUBDIVISION WITH SIX

HOUSES? >> YES. >> OKAY.

THAT IS ALL. >> THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT REGARDING ORDINANCE 99? SEEING KNOWN, WE'RE NOW READY FOR ITEM 2.

ORDINANCE 100-2020-1. >> PLANNING COMMISSION CASE NUMBER Z13, APPLICATION OF THE HILLDALE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. 2.3 ACRES, CURRENTLY ZONED R1.

REQUESTED TO GO TO C2. C2 IS ACROSS THE STREET, ACROSS MADISON STREET.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS, THIS IS THE TANGLEWOOD HOUSE AND THE PROPERTY TO THE LEFT OF THE HILLDALE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH.

CITY WARD NUMBER NINE. THE APPLICANT'S STATEMENT IS TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS, WHICH IS AN EVENT CENTER, RESTAURANT AND SOME BED AND BREAKFAST FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, SMALL CABINS IN THE BACK THAT HAVE BEEN RENTED OUT FROM TIME TO TIME. AND THERE IT IS ON THE CORNER. AS FAR AS I KNOW, FROM THE APPLICANT'S STATEMENT, THEY'RE NOT INTENDING TO CHANGE ANYTHING EXCEPT ASSURE THE TRANSFER OF SALE AND THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE DOING WHAT HAS BEEN DONE ON THAT PROPERTY.

METHODIST CHURCH TO THE RIGHT AND THEN THE ROAD TO THE REAR OF IT.

NO OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS OR CONCERNS. THIS IS IN THE MEDICAL DISTRICT. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. PROPOSED ZONING REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED LAND USE PLAN. CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL GOALS OF THE MADISON STREET DESIGN CORRIDOR. WITH ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL. THE C2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT IS NOT OUT OF

[00:20:03]

>> THANK YOU. >> I WILL BE ABSTAINING DUE TO A FAMILY MATTER INVOLVED WITH

THIS. JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. >> THANK YOU.

>> MR. TYNDALL, IS THIS BUILDING OR PROPERTY ON THE NATIONAL HISTORIC REGISTER?

BECAUSE IT HAS A LONG HISTORY IN OUR COMMUNITY. >> I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS.

I WOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT. BUT NOT ON THE CURRENT REGISTRY.

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, REGARDING ORDINANCE 100?

ITEM 3, ORDINANCE 101-2020-21. MR. TYNDALL. >> THIS IS PLANNING COMMISSION FILE Z22, APPLICATION OF HENRY GALVEZ, 1.03 ACRES CURRENTLY ZONED RM1, RM1 IS MOBILE HOME ONLY DISTRICT. ON THIS MAP, EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THAT DARK ORANGE IS RM1 DISTRICT. THERE ARE POCKETS OF R1. SO IF YOU'RE IN AN RM1 DISTRICT, MEANT FOR MOBILE HOMES ONLY, YOU CAN'T BUILD A STICK BUILT HOME, TRADITIONAL BUILT HOME. THEY'RE ASKING TO GO TO R1 SO THEY CAN BUILD A HOME ON THE SITE. OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S NOT AN EXTENSION OF THE R1.

THIS IS A PARCEL FRONTING EVANS ROAD 145 FEET NORTH OF EVANS ROAD AND SHAW DRIVE INTERSECTION, COUNCIL WARD NUMBER THREE. EXISTING MOBILE HOME ON THE LOT. THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

PROPERTY IS ON THE LEFT. SHAW DRIVE. YOU'LL SEE SOME OTHER STUFF OUT THERE IN A LITTLE BIT. PROPERTY IS IMMEDIATELY ON THE LEFT.

SET BACK A LITTLE BIT. THERE IS OUR SIGN AND THE PROPERTY IN THE BACK.

THERE WAS NO OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS OR CONCERNS. IT'S IN THE LAFAYETTE PLANNING AREA. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. PROPOSED ZONING REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE PLAN. PROPOSED R1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT PERMITS THE OWNER TO BUILD A CONVENTIONAL BUILT HOME.

NO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS

APPROVAL. >> THANK YOU. ANY MEMBER HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT REGARDING ORDINANCE 101? COUNCIL PERSON RICHMOND, YOU'RE

RECOGNIZED. >> IS THERE ANY PUSHBACK FROM THE MOBILE HOME COMMUNITY?

>> NO. >> THANK YOU, THAT IS ALL, MAYOR.

>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> WHEN THEY CHANGE FROM A MOBILE HOME TO A HOUSE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, HOW LONG DO THEY HAVE TO GET IT CHANGED, TO

BUILD A HOUSE AFTER THAT? MAYOR M: >> THERE IS NO TIME PERIOD TO GET OUT OF THE MOBILE HOME. THE CODES DEPARTMENT, WE MAY ASK, IF THE MOBILE HOME LEAVES,

PROBABLY HAVE TO BUILD A HOME AT THAT POINT. >> GOOD QUESTION.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WE ARE READY FOR ITEM 4.

102-2020-21 >> PLANNING COMMISSION Z23. THE APPLICATION OF JERRY TROTTER, 31.61 ACRES. REQUESTING TO GO TO R2, EXTENSION OF THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION IN A COUPLE OF DIRECTIONS. I'LL PAUSE RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THIS CASE. EVEN WHEN WE FIRST LOOKED AT THIS WITH STAFF. THIS PROPERTY HAS SUCH STEEP TOPOGRAPHY, THAT IS WHERE YOU SEE THOSE LINES. AS THE LINES GET CLOSER, YOU KNOW, MUCH STEEPER TO THE RIGHT OF THE PROPERTY, FLOODPLAIN, I'LL HAVE ANOTHER MAP SHOWING THAT.

THE MORE DEVELOPABLE PORTION IS THE HIGHER LAND ON THE LEFT OF THE PROPERTY.

RECENTLY IN THE PAST YEAR, THE PROPERTY TO THE LEFT WAS REZONED TO R2 AND THIS WOULD BE LIKELY ADDED TO THAT. AND THEY WILL BRING IN A NEW SUBDIVISION AND RECONFIGURE THE ROADS. THEY HAVEN'T STARTED BUILDING THAT YET OUT THERE.

THIS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO EXPAND THAT SUBDIVISION JUST SLIGHTLY. HERE IS THE FLOODPLAIN MAP.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT BOTTOM PORTION ON GIBBS LANE IS PRETTY MUCH UNDEVELOPABLE FROM A FLOODPLAIN PERSPECTIVE. SO THE REAL AREA ON THE WEST PART OF THE PROPERTY IS THE DEVELOPABLE PORTION. AND THERE YOU CAN SEE THE PIECE OF R2 TO THE WEST, WHICH THIS

[00:25:08]

THIS GOES BACK TO A DEVELOPMENT, ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT THERE MAY BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SQUEEZE ONE OR TWO HOMES ON THE HIGHER PORTION OF GIBBS LANE.

BUT NO ENTRANCES, NO ROADS, COMING OFF GIBBS LANE TO ADD TO THE TRAFFIC OUT THERE.

THERE IS GIBBS LANE LOOKING BACK TO TRENTON ROAD. ONCE YOU GET PAST THAT TELEPHONE POLE, IT GETS MUCH LOWER IN THE FLOODPLAIN. YOU CAN SEE THE STEEP TOPOGRAPHY ON THIS BACK PART OF THE PROPERTY. HERE IS THE HIGHER END OF THE PROPERTY, LOOKING FROM THE FORMERLY ZONED PROPERTY TOWARD THE REAR.

AND THEN THIS IS THE SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH OF IT, THERE ARE A COUPLE TWO ROADS THAT DO ENTER, ONE WAS THE FORMER PROPERTY AND THEN ONE ENTERS THIS PROPERTY.

THIS IS VIEWMONT DRIVE, COMING UP TO THE END. AND THERE IS A STUB STREET, YOU WILL SEE WHERE THE CURB DOES END. IT'S JUST PAVEMENT. BECAUSE THAT ROAD IS INTENDED TO CONNECT IN THE FUTURE. THERE YOU WILL SEE OUR STUB ROAD SIGNS.

SIGNS THAT GOT INSTALLED BY THE HIGHWAY SUPERVISOR OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS, IN SOME KEY AREAS THAT WE KNOW ARE PROBABLY GOING TO CONNECT IN THE NEXT FIVE TO TEN YEARS.

LET THE RESIDENTS AND FUTURE BUYERS KNOW, THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR US TO CONNECT IN THE FUTURE. IT'S INTENDED TO CONNECT IN THE FUTURE. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS AND CONCERNS, THERE WAS A TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT SUBMITTED WITH THIS. APPROVED BY THE STREET DEPARTMENT, WITH NO ANTICIPATED ACCESS TO GIBBS LANE. THERE MAY BE A FLOOD STUDY NEEDED TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN LEVEL. ATTACHED SCHOOL SYSTEM COMMENTS REGARDING CAPACITIES. THEY THINK THEY CAN GET ALSO 40 UNITS AND THAT IS ADJUSTED FOR THE STEEP TOPOGRAPHY. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. THE REQUEST IS AN EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING R2 TO THE NORTH AND TO THE WEST. THE PROPOSED R2 DISTRICT IS NOT OUT OF CHARACTER WITH THE SURROUNDING USES. ADOPTED LAND USE OPINION MAP IDENTIFIES THIS AREA FOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS AND NO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED RELATIVE TO THIS REQUEST. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS

APPROVAL. >> THANK YOU. ANY MEMBER HAVE A QUESTION? HEARING NONE, WE'RE READY FOR ITEM 5. RESOLUTION 69-2020-21.

>> I BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST ANNEXATION FOR THE NEW CITY COUNCIL HERE.

THERE WAS A REQUEST SUBMITTED BY TWO PROPERTY OWNERS AT THE END OF SHAW DRIVE, YOU CAN SEE ON THIS MAP IN THE RED IS THE CURRENT CITY LIMITS. AND EVERYTHING NOT IN RED IS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA IN THE COUNTY. THERE ARE TWO PROPERTIES THAT ARE REQUESTING ANNEXATION IN THE CITY. ONE IS A LARGER PORTION, 18.5 ACRES AND THEN A SMALLER PORTION, WHENEVER AN ANNEXATION COMES IN FROM A PROPERTY, WE WILL GO OUT AND TALK TO ONE OF THE RESIDENTS. ONE OF THE RESIDENTS HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN BUILDING A HOME BEHIND HIS MOTHER'S HOME. THEY FELT THEY WOULD LIKE TO ANNEX IT AS WELL AT THIS TIME. COMBINED WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 22.19 ACRES.

CURRENTLY ZONED R1. THERE IS A REZONING REQUEST FOR THAT LARGER PORTION TO THE SOUTH. THEY'RE REQUESTING TO GO FROM R1 TO R1A.

ONE ZONE MORE DENSE. THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO BUILD APPROXIMATELY 55 HOMES ON THE 18 ACRES AND ALLOW ONE PERSON TO THE NORTH TO BUILD ONE MORE HOME.

56 HOMES. AND YOU CAN SEE THE ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 152 ADDED TO THE CITY LIMITS, IF THIS ANNEXATION WAS SUCCESSFUL. AND THERE IS THE ZONE CHANGE.

WE HATCHED JUST THE PROPERTY REQUESTING THE ZONE CHANGE. THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN THE PLAN OF SERVICE, WHICH ALSO NEEDS TO BE ADOPTED AS PART OF THE ANNEXATION DOESN'T OBJECT TO THE REZONING OF THIS PROPERTY. I'LL GO OVER THE PLAN OF SERVICES IN A SECOND. RESOLUTION ON ANNEXATION, TWO-STEP PROCESS, THE FIRST VOTE WOULD BE TO ACTUALLY ANNEX THE PROPERTY. AND THEN THE SECOND RESOLUTION,

[00:30:04]

THERE IS A PLAN OF SERVICES REPORT ATTACHED TO THAT RESOLUTION WITH THE DETAILS OF EVERY CITY DEPARTMENT. I'LL GO OVER THAT NEXT. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE

ACTUAL ANNEXATION? >> THANK YOU. ANNEXATION IS A COMPLICATED BUSINESS. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, SPEND A SECOND TALKING ABOUT THE WAYS PROPERTIES CAN BE ANNEXED AS WELL AS WAYS THEY CANNOT BE ANNEXED.

>> YES. STATE OF TENNESSEE, THERE IS A WHOLE CHAPTER IN TCA ON HOW YOU ANNEX. AND THEY CHANGED THE RULES SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

IT USED TO BE EASIER FOR THE CITY TO ANNEX PROPERTY ON ITS OWN.

THAT ABILITY HAS NEARLY GONE AWAY. BACK WHEN THE CITY ANNEXED BOTH TYLER TOWN, THEY WENT OUT AND TOOK 14,000 ACRES AND SAID YOU'RE IN THE CITY.

CITIES CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. IT HAS TO BE ■FOR THE MOSTART, WILLING PROPERTY OWNERS THAT REQUEST THIS. I HAVE TWO LETTERS IN THE FILE FROM BOTH PROPERTY OWNERS, VOLUNTARILY REQUESTING TO BE ADDED TO THE CITY. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY OF THE COUNTY.

THEN THEY HAVE TO BE CONTIGUOUS TO THE CURRENT CITY LIMITS. THESE PROPERTIES ARE CONTIGUOUS. THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO SATELLITE ANNEXATION.

NOT REALLY A POPULAR THING TO DO. THERE ARE TIMES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES YOU MAY WANT TO DO THAT. AND THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES YOU CAN ANNEX OUTSIDE THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY, BUT THERE IS A VERY SPECIFIC SET OF RULES.

WE HAVE ONE THAT MAY BE COMING IN NEXT MONTH. THERE IS A SEPARATE SET OF RULES YOU FOLLOW THERE. ONCE THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS DECIDE THEY WANT TO ANNEX, THEY PROVIDE THE MAYOR WITH A WRITTEN LETTER, A SURVEY OR DEED AND AN AFFIDAVIT THAT IS NOTARIZED THAT SAYS THAT IS WHO THEY ARE. THE MAYOR SENDS IT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO CONDUCT THE STUDY. THE STUDY IS THE PLAN OF SERVICES. THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOESN'T APPROVE THE ANNEXATION, BUT THEY DO APPROVE THE PLAN OF SERVICE. AND THEN BOTH GET BROUGHT BACK TO THE CITY FOR A VOTE. IT'S ONLY A RESOLUTION VOTE. IT USED TO BE AN ORDINANCE VOTE. THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING ON THESE, BOTH OF THESE NEXT WEEK FOR BOTH RESOLUTIONS. I GUESS THAT COVERS ALL OF THE PROCESS.

IT DOES TAKE THE PLANNING COMMISSION ABOUT TWO MONTHS TO GET OUT TO ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS, GET THE INFORMATION BACK. WE ADVERTISE IT IN THE PAPER.

PLAN OF SERVICES AVAILABLE AND THREE LOCATIONS AROUND THE COMMUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO REVIEW

AS WELL AS ON OUR WEBSITE. >> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ANNEXATION PROCESS? PROCEED, PLEASE SIR. WE'RE STILL ON RESOLUTION 69,

RIGHT? >> WE'RE OFF OF 69. >> ITEM 6.

WHICH IS RESOLUTION 70. GO AHEAD. >> THIS SLIDE JUST SHOWS YOU THE HIGHLIGHTS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THROUGH THE ACTUAL RESOLUTION, WHICH HAS A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ABOUT EVERY DEPARTMENT'S COMMENTS.

ALL IT IS IS HOW DOES EVERY CITY DEPARTMENT AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS SUCH AS THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION PLAN ON HANDLING THIS ANNEXATION.

THIS ONE IS RELATIVELY SMALL. WE WILL BE ABLE TO BE HANDLED BY CURRENT CITY RESOURCES.

THE STREET DEPARTMENT DID MAKE A COMMENT THAT BASED ON PREVIOUS ANNEXATIONS, THEIR RESOURCES ARE GETTING STRETCHED THIN. 22 ACRES ISN'T GOING TO PUT THEM OVER THE LIMIT. BUT OVER THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS, WE PROBABLY ANNEXED WELL OVER A SQUARE MILE ADDED TO THE TOWN. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL ROADS AND RESOURCES BEING NEEDED ALL AROUND. ALSO OF NOTE, PARKS DEPARTMENT NOTES THAT WARD THREE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PARKS PROPERTY. BUT AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE RELATIVELY SMALL SIZE, 55 MORE HOMES, IT'S NOT GOING TO OVERTAX THE AREA OR STRETCH THAT NEED. THAT NEED IS STILL GOING TO BE THERE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ANNEX THIS OR NOT. ALL SERVICES GO INTO EFFECT 30 DAYS LATER.

BUT POLICE AND FIRE, 30 DAYS LATER, IT TAKES US SOME TIME TO UPDATE 911 LOGS.

THAT IS WHY THERE IS A 30-DAY LAG VERSUS WHEN IT IS APPROVED AND WHEN IT CAN BE BROUGHT IN TO THE CITY FORMALLY. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE PLAN OF SERVICE?

[00:35:09]

>> QUESTIONS REGARDING RESOLUTION 70? SEEING NONE, WE'RE READY FOR

ITEM 7, ORDINANCE 97-2020-21. >> ANY TIME WE BRING PROPERTY INTO THE CITY, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE CITY WARD SYSTEM AND THAT IS THROUGH A PROCESS KNOWN AS REAPPORTIONMENT.

AFTER THE CENSUS DATA GETS RELEASED, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER TYPE OF REAPPORTIONMENT, LOOK AT THE LINES AND REBALANCE THE WARDS SO THEY ALL HAVE RELATIVELY EQUAL POPULATIONS.

AT THIS TIME, IT'S ADDING THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY TO WARD THREE.

THIS IS AN ORDINANCE SO THIS REQUIRES TWO READINGS, OBVIOUSLY HIT ON THE SAME DAY THAT IT BECOMES EFFECTIVE. THIS ALLOWS THE ELECTION COMMISSION TO UPDATE THEIR FILES. I WILL SAY AS A SIDE NOTE, IF THE OTHER ANNEXATION COMES THROUGH, WE WILL AMEND THIS ON SECOND READING TO ADD THE OTHER PIECE TO THE WARD MAP.

IF NOT, WE'LL HAVE TO UPDATE THIS A SECOND TIME THIS YEAR. >> QUESTIONS REGARDING ORDINANCE 97? HEARING NONE, SEEING NONE. ANYTHING ELSE MR. TYNDALL.

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF E-MAILS. >> SERGEANT GILL WILL HELP YOU. OKAY.

ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, GOOD EVENING. I'LL TRY TO BE AS BRIEF.

BUT OF COURSE, AS THOROUGH AS POSSIBLE. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY SIT THROUGH THIS ONCE, SOME OF YOU TWICE, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE REDUNDANCY.

AS I'M SURE YOU KNOW, GAS AND WATER, OUR COUNTY DEPARTMENT, THEY CONSISTENTLY MONITOR OUR FINANCIAL SITUATIONS, WEIGHING OUR REVENUES AGAINST OUR EXPENSES.

THEY NOT ONLY DO THIS FOR OUR CURRENT FISCAL YEAR OR THE NEXT UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR DURING BUDGET TIME, BUT FOR THE NEXT FIVE TO TEN YEARS, CONSTRUCTION OF CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE CONCERNED, UP TO 25 YEARS, DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS ON THESE SAME PROJECTS.

FIRST OFF, I WOULD ASK YOU TO LOOK AT THE SPREADSHEET ON THE LEGAL SHEET, THE LONG ONE HERE.

YOU'LL SEE AT THE BEGINNING, IT'S FISCAL YEAR 2022, WATER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET PLAN. BASICALLY IN OUR WATER DEPARTMENT, FROM THIS VERY MOMENT THROUGHOUT, AND JUST BEYOND FISCAL YEAR 26, WE HAVE OVER, AS YOU CAN SEE UNDER THE ITEM, "TOTAL PROJECT AMOUNT", 177 MILLION TO BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED.

THE LARGEST OF THESE, IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT UNDER PROJECT DESCRIPTION, 6.4 MILLION TOWARDS SYSTEM REDUNDANCY, WITH THE ZONING CASES THAT COME THROUGH, YOU'RE WELL AWARE OF THE GROWTH IN THAT AREA. NEXT IS 5.75 MILLION IN TRANSMISSION SUPPLY, 4.5 MILLION ON THE NORTH SIDE OF OUR SYSTEM, 1.25 MILLION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF OUR SYSTEM.

3.75 MILLION IN UPGRADES TO OUR EXISTING WATER TREATMENT PLANT, WHICH WILL GAIN US AN ADDITIONAL TWO MILLION GALLONS A DAY AT CAPACITY. HELP US TO BRIDGE THE GAP FOR GROWTH BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN WE BUILD OUR NEW WATER PLANT, WHICH I WILL GET TO IN A MOMENT. YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER 7.5 MILLION IN INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR ROSS VIEW PRESSURE ZONE. FOUR MILLION IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

3.5 MILLION JUST BEYOND FISCAL YEAR 26 OR POST 26. SEVERAL OTHER PROJECTS, MISCELLANEOUS WATER AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, TOTALING ALMOST 11 MILLION.

THOSE ARE SMALLER PROJECTS. STILL 1 AND $2 MILLION PROJECTS FOR THE MOST PART.

YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER FIVE MILLION ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT UTILITY RELOCATION, AS YOU'RE SEEING WITH ALL ROADWAY PROJECTS, THE UTILITIES HAVE TO GET IN THERE FIRST AND RELOCATE OUTSIDE THE LIMITS. THAT IS VERY COSTLY AND TIME-CONSUMING, AS YOU WELL KNOW. BUT THE LAST ITEM THERE, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NORTH TREATMENT PLANT, 138 MILLION ON OUR BOOKS. WE MUST THEN PREPARE AN EXPANSION AND WHILE WE HAVE YET TO REACH THAT 80 PERCENT, ON THE ANNUAL AVERAGE, WE ARE

[00:45:06]

WE HELP TIE TO OTHER PLACES, LIKE WOODLAWN FOR ONE, ADAM CEDAR HILL HAS A CONNECTION.

SOME OF THOSE USE THAT. SOME OF THEM HAVE YET TO USE IT.

BUT IT'S THERE IF THEY NEED IT. WE DON'T HAVE THAT LUXURY. OUR PLAN IS TO BUILD ANOTHER PLANT. THAT TWO MILLION A GALLON A DAY WILL FINALIZE THAT PLANT.

THAT WILL BE THE LAST UPGRADE THERE. OUR PLANS FOR THE NEW PLANT ARE THE INITIAL PHASE WILL GET US 12 MILLION GALLONS A DAY, ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.

THERE WILL BE TWO SUBSEQUENT PHASES OF ANOTHER 12 MILLION, TOTALING AT 36 AND WITH OUR CALCULATIONS, BASED ON THE GROWTH PLAN THAT YOU HEARD MR. TYNDALL SPEAK ABOUT EARLIER, THIS SECOND PLANT SHOULD SERVE PARTIAL GAS AND WATER NEEDS FOR ETERNITY IS OUR PLAN.

SO WE'VE TAKEN THOSE NUMBERS, THOSE AREAS AND CALCULATED THE EXACT BUILD-OUT.

THAT SHOULD DO IT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE WATER PAGE?

>> COUNCIL PERSON, BUTLER, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? >> YOU SAID ONCE IT'S AT 80 PERCENT, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BUILD A NEW ONE. SO DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF

WHERE WE'RE AT NOW? >> WE REACH 80 PERCENT ON AVERAGE.

I'LL GET YOU THE ANNUAL AVERAGE. I CAN TELL YOU WE REACH BEYOND 80 PERCENT IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHERE WE HAD TO CURTAIL WATER USAGE, AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS CAR WASHES AND PLACES LIKE THAT TO STOP BUSINESS ON CERTAIN DAYS OF THE WEEK.

WE STOPPED WATERING LAWNS, THINGS LIKE THAT. WE ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE GOING AROUND AND POLICING THAT AND ISSUING CITATIONS OR WHATEVER TO KEEP THAT DOWN.

WITH THIS KIND OF REDUNDANCY, IT WOULD HELP US KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING.

FOR SOME PHENOMENON OR DISASTER HAPPENED, HOPEFULLY NOT, DID SOMETHING TO OUR OTHER PLANT, WE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO BACK US UP. IT COULD HELP US AT LEAST TRY TO SERVE OUR RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS FOR THE MOST PART. I WOULD SAY THIS LAST MONTH WE WERE ROUGHLY 67, IN THE LOWER MONTHS, WITH NO WATER AND ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SUMMER MONTHS, WE GET OVER 80. BUT I WILL GET YOU THAT AVERAGE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE WATER PAGE?

KEEP GOING, MR. RIGGINS. >> OKAY. ON THE SECOND PAGE, SHIFTING GEARS TO OUR SEWER DEPARTMENT. FROM NOW THROUGHOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, WE HAVE NEARLY $70 MILLION IN CAPITAL PROJECTS, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ON OUR BOOKS TO BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED. THE LARGEST OF THESE INCLUDES $7 MILLION TO EQUALIZATION STORAGE. THIS REMEDIES OVERFLOWS IN THAT AREA.

15.4 MILLION INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES TO THE SHERWOOD FOREST AREA, OVERFLOW MITIGATION.

THOSE HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN THERE WITH THE ADDITION OF MISCELLANEOUS SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, YOU WILL SEE THE INITIALS CACS THERE.

THOSE COMBINE ROUGHLY 30 MILLION WITH THAT ADDITIONAL 7.4 MILLION SCATTERED IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. THEY'RE RELATED TO A CONSENT ORDER THAT WE HAVE WITH THE STATE WHERE WE AGREE TO HAVE THEM COMPLETED WITHIN THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

THOSE ARE WHERE WE HAVE ISSUES WITH OVERFLOWS, CHRONIC AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THIS WILL MAKE US WHOLE WITH THE STATE. MOVING ALONG, YOU WILL SEE THERE AGAIN, THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS 1.3 MILLION. MISCELLANEOUS SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE, SMALLER PROJECTS TOTALING 14.6 MILLION. AND THEN ANOTHER 24 MILLION IMPROVEMENTS TO WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. 14.5 MILLION OF THOSE BEING THE INSTALLATION OF THERMAL DRYERS, DRASTICALLY DECREASE THE OUTPUT AMOUNT WHILE IMPROVING THE CONSISTENCY OF ODORS AND MAKING THE LANDFILL VERY HAPPY. RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT THAT YOU SEE FARTHER ON DOWN IN THE AGENDA. THAT AGREEMENT IS FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS UNTIL WE HAVE THE DRYERS BUILT. $14.5 MILLION, THAT IS NOT A

[00:50:01]

WHILE I'M ON THE WATER WATER TREATMENT PLANT, I'M ASKED ABOUT THE 2010 FLOOD, RESULTING SEWER SYSTEM PROJECTS, RATE INCREASE AND THE SELF RECEIVAL OF FEMA FUNDS.

WE HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED OUR FINAL PAYMENT FROM FEMA, RESULTING IN 30 MILLION OF TOTAL FUNDS TO BE RECAPTURED. LEAVING THE REMAINING 100 MILLION LEFT OF DEBT SERVICE TO BE PAID BY RATE PAYERS. WHICH IS WHY WE'RE AT THE EXISTING RATE THAT WE'RE AT NOW

IN SEWER. ANY QUESTIONS? >> WE DO HAVE A QUESTION.

COUNCILPERSON EVANS, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> YES.

THANK YOU. I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE WASTE WATER LIKE SLUDGE AND STUFF. WHEN WE DO GET THESE DRYERS, I KNOW WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LIKE COMPOSTING, LIKE THE EXTRA, COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN WITH

THAT? I JUST WANT TO BE REFRESHED. >> SURE.

WITH THE SLUDGE. >> YES. >> YES, MA'AM.

SO THAT SLUDGE, YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN SEWER COMES IN, IN THE END IT'S SPLIT TO LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS. AND ONCE AGAIN, I WILL NOTE WHAT WE DISCHARGE TO THE RIVER IS CLEANER THAN THE WATER IN THE RIVER. WANT TO STATE THAT.

THE BIO SOLIDS, WE HAVE TO HAUL AND DISPOSE OF THEM SOMEWHERE. CURRENTLY IT'S THE BI-COUNTY LANDFILL. TO US IT'S THE DRY PRODUCT. TO THEM, IT'S A WETTER PRODUCT.

AND IT SMELLS. WHICH CAUSES THEM A LOT OF HEADACHES, PHONE CALLS.

IT'S A POLITICAL NIGHTMARE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. >> WOULD THERE BE ANY WAY TO

IMPLEMENT THAT INTO LIKE FERTILIZER. >> YES.

SO PRE-FLOOD, THAT IS WHAT WE DID. CLASS A OR B SLUDGE.

BUT YOU COULD LAND APPLY THAT. AND WE WOULD BASICALLY HAUL THAT TO FARMERS, GIVE IT AWAY.

WE WOULD PROVIDE THEM WITH, THEY WERE BASICALLY MANEUR SPREADERS.

WHAT THESE DRYERS WILL DO, WHEN THE FLOOD, AFTER THE FLOOD HAPPENED, THE DECISION WAS MADE, BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE, SPENDING $130 MILLION ALREADY, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL EFFORTS AND EXPENSE TOWARD GETTING IT BACK TO THAT CLASS.

SO NOW WE CANNOT LAND APPLY WHAT WE'RE TURNING OUT OF THE PLANT.

AFTER THESE DRYERS ARE INSTALLED, IT WILL REDUCE OUR OUTPUT FROM SOMEWHERE PROBABLY FROM 65, 70 PERCENT, UPWARD TO 90 PERCENT. THAT'S PROBABLY THE MAXIMUM.

NOT SURE IF WE'LL MEET THAT. DRASTIC CHANGE. WHAT IT WILL ALSO DO IS RECLASSIFY THAT SLUDGE. IT WILL HELP WITH THE ODORS, HELP WITH THE CONSISTENCY.

AND IT WILL BE AT A CLASS WHERE WE CAN EITHER RENEGOTIATE WITH BI-COUNTY.

IN THE PAST THEY WANTED IT BECAUSE THEY COULD MIX THAT WITH THEIR TRASH AND IT HELPED.

WITH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE HAD GO ON THERE WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRASH THEY RECEIVE, I BELIEVE WE'RE GIVING THEM MORE SLUDGE THAN THEY ACTUALLY WANT NOW.

THAT IS WHY WE HAVE ISSUES. BUT IF THEY DECIDE THEY DON'T WANT IT, IT MAY BE MARKETABLE.

WE MAY BE ABLE TO SELL IT. WE BELIEVE WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE IT AWAY.

>> PROCEED. >> THAT IS ALL. I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU WHERE WE STAND AS FAR AS PLANNED EXPENDITURES FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AND BEYOND.

IN THE SECOND HANDOUT, IT REALLY BREAKS DOWN THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU HAVE THERE FOR THE RATES. SO THE GIST OF THE MATTER IS UPON REVIEWING OUR FINANCIAL FORECAST, WE KNEW WITH THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION AND CONSEQUENTIAL FINANCING, RATE INCREASES WERE IMMINENT. I KNOW THIS IS HORRIBLE TIMING, PEOPLE GOING BACK TO WORK WITH COVID AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I WILL SAY THIS RATE INCREASE RIGHT HERE HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR YEARS. THE TIMING, IT WAS PLANNED TO COME NOW.

EVEN BEFORE COVID HAPPENED. SO IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE. WE KNOW THAT.

KNOWING THAT THE RATE INCREASE WAS IMMINENT, WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT ON RFP FOR A WATER AND SEWER RATE STUDY. WE'RE FINE WITH THAT. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THEM BEFORE. DID A GREAT JOB WITH US. WE'RE PLEASED TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN. THE GOAL IS FOR THE STUDY AND THESE PROPOSED RATES, FOR THE WATER TO ADJUST THE METER CHARGES TO RECOVER FIXED COSTS. BASICALLY CUSTOMER SERVICE,

[00:55:02]

THE RATE THEMSELVES, THEY COVER THAT WATER THAT YOU ACTUALLY USE.

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE CURRENTLY, UNDER THE CURRENT, FOR A THREE-QUARTER INCH METER IS $3.

THAT IS NO WAY COVERS MY FIXED COST THERE. I'LL GO FURTHER TO SAY COUNCIL PERSONSTREETMAN HAD ASKED ME YESTERDAY DURING THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ABOUT THE PERCENTAGE OF CUSTOMERS, RESIDENTIAL ESPECIALLY, WHICH SIZE METER THEY HAVE.

94 PERCENT OF OUR RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS HAVE THREE-QUARTER INCH METERS. COMBINED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE RESIDENTIAL, IT FALLS TO 93.4 PERCENT. SO YOU CAN SEE THE VAST MAJORITY OF RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS, THEY'RE GOING TO FALL IN THE THREE-QUARTER INCH METER CHARGE THERE.

SO AGAIN, WE WANTED TO GET THOSE FIXED COSTS RIGHT. AS YOU WILL SEE, AS THE FIXED COSTS GO UP YEAR TO YEAR, INITIALLY THE RATE ACTUALLY LOWERS.

IT'S A COMBINED OVERALL INCREASE. AGAIN, PUTTING MONEY IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THE USAGE IS JUST AS YOU TURN ON THE TAP.

ANOTHER GOAL OF THIS WAS TO DEVELOP AN OUTSIDE AND INSIDE CITY RATES THAT APPLY TO ALL CUSTOMER CLASSES. LOOKING IN ON THE FIRST PAGE YOU'VE GOT RESIDENTIAL, WHEN YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE RESIDENTIAL INSIDE COMMERCIAL AND INSIDE INDUSTRIAL, THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ARE THE SAME BUT THE INDUSTRIAL IS DIFFERENT.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, IF THIS PASSES, JULY 1ST, 2024, ALL RATES WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHERE WE WANT IT TO BE.

BECAUSE AS YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY IT BEFORE, I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYONE GROUP SUBSIDIZING ANOTHER, THIS WILL ELIMINATE THIS SITUATION THAT WE HAVE THERE.

EVERYONE IS PAYING FOR THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE WATER THEY'RE USING.

THE THIRD THING WE DO, SETS THE OUTSIDE RATE. THESE NEXT TWO ARE BOTH WATER AND SEWER. SETS THE OUTSIDE RATE, CITY LIMITS RATE AT 175 PERCENT OF THE INSIDE RATE. SO CURRENTLY, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, THE OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS RATE IS 200 PERCENT OF WHAT THE INSIDE CITY RATE IS. I CAN TELL YOU THE STATE DOES NOT LIKE THAT SET-UP THERE. IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR MANY MANY YEARS.

AS FAR AS GAS AND WATER IS CONCERNED, IN MY OPINION, I HAVE A SERVICE AREA TO SERVE, WHETHER IT'S INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS OR OUTSIDE. WHEN THE STATE COMES IN AND REVIEWS ME, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE FOR ME. IT'S ALL MY SYSTEM.

AND IT POSSIBLY COULD BE ARGUED THAT THERE IS SOME PLACES OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS THAT I SERVE CHEAPER THAN INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. THERE MAY BE FOLKS, THERE ARE FOLKS IN PROBABLY SANGO AREA WHO ARE CLOSER TO MY WATER PLANT THAN THE NORTH SIDE OF TOWN. SO IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT I SPEND LESS EFFORT GETTING THEM WATER. BUT THEY'RE PAYING DOUBLE. WE KNOW THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE THIS IN ALL ONE FELL SWOOP. YOU COULD SAY WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO THE RATE PAYERS INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. OUR GOAL IS TO TRY TO NARROW THAT DOWN.

WITH THIS ONE AT THE END OF FOUR YEARS, IT WOULD BE 175 PERCENT, THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS, HOPEFULLY MANY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, WE WOULD LOOK AT HONING THAT DOWN TO 150 PERCENT, AND THEN 125 UNTIL IT'S FLUSH AND EQUAL THERE. OF COURSE, IT'S TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO COVER ALL FUTURE COSTS, WHICH I'VE DISCUSSED.

>> IRONY IS NOT LOST ON ME THAT YOU USED THE WORD "FLUSHED". COUNCILPERSON EVANS, YOU'RE

RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I HAD A QUICK QUESTION ON THIS INFORMATION BEING AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. IS IT CURRENTLY? ANYWHERE THAT THEY CAN GO AND LOOK THIS UP TO SEE THE RATE INCREASES OR COULD YOU TELL LIKE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT? LIKE I'M SEEING -- WHAT IS THAT? LIKE $0.90. $0.90 INCREASE BY JULY 1ST, 2024?

>> SO AS YOU'LL SEE WHEN WE GET TO THIS LAST PAGE, I'LL REALLY COVER SOME EXAMPLES, IN OUR PLAN, IT IS NOT THERE AT THE PUBLIC YET. I REALLY WANTED TO GET IT THROUGH OUR COMMITTEE. IF IT WAS GOING TO TANK, THERE WAS NO NEED OF THROWING IT OUT THERE. I WANTED TO GET A GIST OF HOW THIS WAS GOING TO GO.

BUT YES, OUR PLAN IS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, BILLS, EVERY AVENUE WE HAVE, WE'RE GOING TO

[01:00:02]

FOUR YEARS IT WILL BE THIS. IF YOU GIVE THEM ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON THE FRONT END, IT CUTS WAY DOWN ON THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AND SOMETIMES ANGER.

>> THANK YOU. >> I THINK BECAUSE IT'S ON OUR AGENDA IT'S NOW PUBLIC INFORMATION. SO THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT.

WE HAVE A MEMBER OF THE PRESS HERE, SO I'M SURE THEY WILL HELP TELL A STORY.

>> I'VE SPOKEN RICHARD STEVENS ABOUT GETTING THIS OUT. >> PLEASE PROCEED.

>> WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO SEWER, AS FAR AS THE RATES THERE, I'LL COVER THOSE ON A SUBSEQUENT PHASE. THE FIRST POINT WAS TO ELIMINATE A TIERED RATE STRUCTURE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ORDINANCE, ON THE SECOND PAGE OF YOUR SPREADSHEET, IF YOU'LL TURN IT THERE, YOU WILL SEE ON THE WASTE WATER, ON THE OUTSIDE RESIDENTIAL, OUTSIDE COMMERCIAL, OUTSIDE INDUSTRY, THERE IS A TIERED RATE THERE, WHICH BASICALLY SETS IT UP, YOUR FIRST 2000 GALLONS AT ONE RATE, ALL OTHER USAGE ON OUTSIDE RESIDENTIAL AND OUTSIDE COMMERCIAL, ANY OTHER USAGE BEYOND THOSE FIRST 2000 GALLONS IS AT A DIFFERENT RATE. AND THEN AS YOU CAN SEE IN OUTSIDE, IT KEEPS ON GOING.

FOUR SEPARATE TIERS BEYOND THE FIRST ONE. ELIMINATE THAT, THERE IS ONE RATE YOU CAN SEE IN THE FUTURE, AFTER YEAR ONE, IT BRINGS THAT INTO ONE RATE THERE.

IT WILL CONTINUE ON THAT WAY. I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE MORE SEWER YOU FLUSH OR SEND DOWN THE LINE, THE CHEAPER IT IS. ONCE AGAIN, SETTING THE RATE AT 175 PERCENT INSTEAD OF 200. GENERATING THAT SUFFICIENT REVENUE.

I WILL MENTION BEFORE I GO ON, BASED ON OUR FORECAST APPLIED WITH THE STUDY, WITHOUT THESE INCREASES MENTIONED IN THIS ORDINANCE, IT WILL RESULT IN DEFICIENCIES OF APPROXIMATELY TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, THAT WILL INCREASE TO ADDITIONAL SIX MILLION DOLLARS DEFICIENCY IN FISCAL YEAR 23, ONWARD TO ADDITIONAL TEN MILLION IN 24.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT COMPILES FROM THERE. THEN ON THE LAST SHEET OF YOUR, OF THIS HANDOUT HERE, IT REALLY GETS INTO A BREAKDOWN. THIS IS WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO PUSH IT ALL OUT TO THE PUBLIC, BUT THIS WILL REALLY HELP EXPLAIN AND SHOW WHAT THEIR BILL WILL LOOK LIKE. COMBINED BILL, ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CURRENT RATE CLASSES THERE NOW. AND THEIR AVERAGE CONSUMPTION:THAT IS IN THOUSANDS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT INSIDE RESIDENTIAL, THAT IS FOR ROUGHLY 4,000 GALLONS A MONTH, THIS IS FOR COMBINED WATER, THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WATER AND SEWER SERVICE. CURRENTLY IF YOUR BILL IS 55.44, AS OF JULY 1ST, OF THIS YEAR, IF THIS PASSES, YOUR BILL WOULD INCREASE TO 57.58. AND SO ON AND SO ON.

IN FOUR YEARS OUT, IT WOULD BE NEARLY A $10 OVERALL INCREASE A MONTH, UP TO 64.37.

SAME THING, IF YOU GO ON DOWN THE LINE, OUTSIDE RESIDENTIAL, $4,000, CURRENTLY PAYING 93.22.

IT WOULD INCREASE TO 95.15 AND SO ON AND SO ON ACROSS THE SPREADSHEET.

SAME GOES FOR INSIDE COMMERCIAL. THAT IS WHERE YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN USAGE. INSIDE COMMERCIAL, THE AVERAGE USAGE IS $20,000 A MONTH.

OUTSIDE COMMERCIAL IS 43,000. INSIDE INDUSTRIAL, 6.6 MILLION GALLONS A MONTH AND THEN OUTSIDE INDUSTRY IS 2.5 MILLION GALLONS A MONTH. AND THEN THE NEXT PART OF THE SPREADSHEET SHOWS THE COMBINED DOLLAR CHANGE EACH YEAR. RELATIVE TO THOSE RATES THAT I JUST SPOKE ABOUT. THE ONE THING I DIDN'T DELETE IT, BECAUSE I HAD IT IN THERE FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAD IT IN THERE FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. SO I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE I WAS TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING. BUT I WILL SAY THOSE PERCENTAGES THERE, I KNOW ONE OF THE COUNCIL PERSONS BROUGHT IT UP ABOUT WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THE INSIDE RESIDENTIAL, THEY'RE PAYING MORE PERCENTAGE WISE THAN THE INSIDE INDUSTRIAL. WHY WOULD THAT BE? THOSE PERCENTAGES ARE SKEWED. AND SIMPLY BECAUSE IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT AVERAGE CONSUMPTION,

[01:05:05]

READING OF THIS ORDINANCE. >> THANK YOU, MR. RIGGINS. ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING WATER AND WASTE WATER? NO WONDER WE'RE EXPANDING THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS. >> SORRY, I HAVE TO GIVE YOU BOTTLED WATER.

>> WE PREFER CUMBERLAND. >> CHAIRPERSON STREETMAN, YOU STILL HAVE THE FLOOR.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I APPRECIATE THAT PRESENTATION YOU GAVE MR. RIGGINS.

AND I KNOW YOU GAVE US DETAILED INFORMATION TONIGHT AS WELL AS IN THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND GAS AND WATER COMMITTEE. I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT WHAT YOU SAID REGARDING THE REDUNDANCY WE WOULD HAVE BY HAVING A SECOND WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

EVEN THINKING ABOUT THE WEATHER THAT WE HAVE AROUND HERE, TORNADOS.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE TO BE ABLE TO SERVICE OUR COMMUNITY PLUS JUST LOOKING BACK AT THE AGENDA, THE WATER, GAS AND WATER COMMITTEE, SEEING THAT THREE TIMES OUT OF THE LAST 12 MONTHS, WE HAVE HIT THE 80 PERCENT MARK. IT SHOWS WE'RE IN NEED.

AND THE TIMING MIGHT NOT BE THE GREATEST. IT SHOWS THAT THE NEED IS THERE SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS DONE AND MOVE FORWARD. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU TRIED TO BALANCE THERE AND MAKE IT A SMOOTH TRANSITION FOR EVERYONE.

AND THAT INCREASE THAT THEY WOULD SEE ACROSS THE FOUR YEARS, WHICH WORKS OUT FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE YOU TO DO THE VARIOUS PROJECTS NEEDED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. MAYOR, THAT IS EVERYTHING I HAVE FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

>> THANK YOU, ANY QUESTIONS ORDINANCE 96? SEEING NONE, WE'RE READY FOR

[7) GAS & WATER COMMITTEE]

ON CHAIRPERSON STREETMAN TO GIVE THAT REPORT. >> THANK YOU.

ONE RESOLUTION ON HERE, AUTHORIZING OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR ACCEPTANCE OF BIO SOLIDS FROM THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. THIS WAS APPROVED IN THE GAS AND WATER COMMITTEE, AND FINANCE COMMITTEE. POSTPONED FROM APRIL 1ST.

IT WILL BE REQUESTED AGAIN TO POSTPONE IT FOR ANOTHER MONTH, IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ALLOW THEM

TO CONTINUE WORKING OUT THE FINE DETAILS FOR IT. >> THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING RESOLUTION 63? SEEING NONE, ANYTHING ELSE

CHAIR PERSONSTREETMAN. >> NO, SIR. I'M SURE CHAIR PERSON REDD WILL

HAVE IT NEXT WEEK. >> HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, CHAIRPERSON SMITH IS OUT OF TOWN. WE ARE READY FOR PARKS AND

RECREATION DEPARTMENT. CHAIR PERSON RICHMOND. >> THANK YOU.

WE WILL HAVE A FULL REPORT ON THURSDAY. >> PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE

>> NEXT WEEK MAYOR. >> SENSE A THEME HERE. >> NOW READY FOR STREETS, GARAGE, TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. AGAIN, CHAIR PERSON SMITH IS OUT OF TOWN. FULL REPORT NEXT WEEK. ITEM NUMBER 12, DESIGNATIONS

[12) DESIGNATIONS COMMITTEE]

OFFICIAL RENAMING MAMMY LANE TO SLATTERY LANE. >> I WILL BE SAVING MOST OF MY COMMENTS FOR NEXT WEEK. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO, IN TODAY'S POLITICAL CLIMATE, THEY CALL IT CANCEL CULTURE, BUT I CONSIDER IT TO BE CULTURAL SENSITIVITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ENCOURAGE OUR COMMUNITY TO STOP YOU KNOW, DEGRADING PEOPLE THAT TAKE OFFENSE TO HISTORIC DEROGATORY FIXTURES IN OUR SOCIETY. FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT TRIGGERS. WHAT IT DOES IS JUST EXPRESSES EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND JUST

[01:10:07]

SO YOU KNOW, JUST WITH SOME OF THE TENSIONS THAT HAPPEN NATIONALLY, AS WELL AS LOCALLY, JUST LIKE THE CITIZENS FOR CLARKSVILLE TO REALIZE AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, IT'S OUR JOB FOR ANY MEMBER BRINGS SOMETHING TO US, FOR US TO IN TURN BRING IT TO THE FULL BODY FOR US TO DISCUSS. IF YOU AGREE WITH IT OR DISAGREE WITH IT, THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF DEMOCRACY. WE SHOULD RESPECT EACH OTHER'S IDEALS AND PERSPECTIVES.

THANK YOU SIR. >> COUNCIL PERSON EVANS, YOU'RE FIRST AND RECOGNIZED.

>> I WANTED TO SAY THAT WHAT THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER SAID WAS VERY WELL SPOKEN.

I DID WANT TO MAKE EVERYBODY AWARE THAT I PASSED BY AMENDMENT TO THIS RESOLUTION INSTEAD OF NAMING, RENAMING MAMMY LANE TO SLATTERY LANE, I THINK THAT HATTIE LANE IS BETTER FITTING. IT WOULD MEMORIALIZE HATTIE WHO PLAYED THE MAMMY CHARACTER ON GONE WITH THE WIND. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MY AMENDMENT, FEEL FREE

TO ASK. >> ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING COUNCIL PERSON'S EVANS AMENDMENT? SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE LIST, AND I'M GOING TO GO DOWN THE LIST, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO HER POINT OR TO THE RESOLUTION LET ME KNOW.

COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER, TO HER AMENDMENT OR RESOLUTION >> MINE IS ACTUALLY ON HER

AMENDMENT, MAYOR. >> YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> I'M NOT SURE HOW ANYONE IS GOING TO VOTE ON THIS. BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE AMENDMENT THAT MY COLLEAGUE HAS OFFERED, IF THIS DOES GO THROUGH, IS PREFERABLE TO THE SLATTERY.

I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK JUST TO THAT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL PERSON KNIGHT, DID YOU WISH TO SPEAK TO THE AMENDMENT

OR THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION? >> ORIGINAL. >> WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU.

>> COUNCIL, RECOGNIZE ON THE AMENDMENT OR ORIGINAL. >> ORIGINAL.

>> COME BACK TO YOU. IF YOU WILL PUSH THAT BUTTON AGAIN.

COUNCIL PERSON RICHMOND ON THE AMENDMENT OR ORIGINAL? OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. PUSH YOUR BUTTON AGAIN, SIR. AND NOW WE'LL COME BACK TO

COUNCIL PERSON KNIGHT. ON THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I JUST WANT TO SAY WE HEARD THE VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY. THOSE INDIVIDUALS CAME AND SPOKE IN REFERENCE TO THEIR STREET. AND YES, WE DO HAVE A POLITICAL CLIMATE BUT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THE INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE ON THAT STREET. AND THEIR ETHNICITY. ALSO, I HAVE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE ACTUAL PETITION THAT WAS SIGNED BY EVERYONE, PRETTY MUCH SAVE ONE INDIVIDUAL AND THREE WHO WEREN'T HOME ON THAT PARTICULAR STREET. WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE COUNCIL PACKET FOR OUR REGULAR SESSION. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I WOULD ASK THAT EACH ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION ALL OF THOSE DETAILS AND VOTE THIS PARTICULAR THING DOWN. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

>> SO I ALSO HAVE SOME THINGS THAT IS GOING TO BE WITH THE REGULAR SESSION.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ACTUALLY FOUND, I LOOKED OVER, IS OUR ADDRESSING GUIDE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION USES. I WENT AHEAD AND REQUESTED BY THE DELEGATE FROM US TO ACTUALLY HAVE THAT CHANGED SO THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. AND HE SAID HE IS GOING TO WORK ON THAT THROUGH OUR PLANNING COMMISSION. HOWEVER, WITH THIS, WHAT I DID SEE IN OUR ADDRESSING GUIDE IS I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE PEOPLE ON THIS ROAD HAVE A VOICE, BUT OUR ADDRESSING GUIDE STATES THAT IF NOT A COMPLAINT FROM THAT GEOGRAPHIC AREA.

IT CAN ALSO BE A COMPLAINT OUTSIDE OF THAT, OFF OF THAT ROAD.

AND YES, ONE PERSON CAME AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. AND SAID HEY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGED. BUT SINCE THEN, WE KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING BIG THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS REALLY LOOKING AT.

[01:15:01]

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> I THINK IT'S BEEN ADDRESSED.

I HAD A CONCERN OR QUESTION FROM ONE OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS, I REMEMBER AT ONE POINT THE SIGNATURES AND THE CONSTITUENTS'S CONCERN. AND SO YEAH.

I'LL JUST BE CONTINUING TO REVIEW THIS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS ADDITIONS ON NEXT WEEK. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? SEEING NONE, WE'RE NOW UNDER

[13)NEW BUSINESS]

ITEM 2, ORDINANCE 92, 2020-21. COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU. THIS WAS POSTPONED BECAUSE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A MEETING AND WE HAVEN'T HAD A MEETING YET. AT THIS POINT, SHOULD WE JUST

-- >> THIS ORDINANCE WAS THE ORDINANCE THAT COUNCIL MEMBER BUTLER HAD ASKED TO BE DRAFTED THAT CAME OUT OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD AS COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY. THIS ORDINANCE HAS BEEN OVERTAKEN BY EVENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE LAWSUIT AND THE MAYOR, WE HAD A SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE, THE MAYOR WILL BE CALLING A SPECIAL CALLED SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE ON A SETTLEMENT, A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT. WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING THE ACTUAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, THE COMPLETE DOCUMENT PREPARED. WE WILL BE SENDING THAT DOCUMENT TO THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFFS WHO SUED US. IF AND ONCE THEY CONSENT TO THE LANGUAGE OR SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, WE THINK THEY WILL, WE WILL BRING THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT BEFORE THE COUNCIL FOR A VOTE. THERE WILL BE AN ORDINANCE. LAND TRANSFER INVOLVED.

THAT HAS TO BE DONE BY ORDINANCE. THERE WILL BE TWO VOTES.

I EXPECT THAT THE FIRST VOTE SHOULD OCCUR BEFORE THE END OF MAY. AND MAYBE EVEN BOTH VOTES BEFORE THE END OF MAY. IT MIGHT BE MORE REALISTIC TO SAY THE FIRST VOTE WILL BE HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE END OF MAY AND THE SECOND VOTE SOMETIME IN JUNE.

YOU WILL NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE MEETINGS, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BUDGET PROCESS. SO WE MIGHT JUST ADD THIS ON THE AGENDA DURING ONE OF THOSE BUDGET VOTES. MAY NOT -- IT WILL BE UP TO THE MAYOR.

MAY JUST CALL A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING TO DO IT. AND I REALLY, THAT IS REALLY

ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY ABOUT IT AT THIS POINT. >> BACK TO THE SPONSOR.

>> HOW SHOULD I DISPOSITION THIS? AM I GOING TO TABLE THIS

INDEFINITELY? TRY TO POSTPONE IT AGAIN? >> GOOD QUESTION.

WE CAN EITHER POSTPONE IT PROBABLY UNTIL THE NEXT REGULAR SESSION.

AND THEN WHAT WE WILL DO IS WHENEVER WE VOTE ON THE ACTUAL PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, ASSUMING WE GET TO THAT POINT, WE WOULD AT SOME POINT THEN COME BACK TO YOUR ORDINANCE.

IF THERE HAS BEEN A VOTE ON THE OTHER ONE, THEN WE CAN JUST VOTE THAT ONE DOWN OR IT COULD BE POSTPONED INDEFINITELY. WHAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN IT NEEDED TO BE VOTED DOWN.

BUT WE CAN DEAL WITH THIS ONE THROUGH PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE AT SOME POINT.

NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT, WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE POSTPONED, IS WHAT I WOULD

SUGGEST. >> THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> OKAY. WE ARE NOW READY FOR ITEM 3, ORDINANCE 98.

COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS IS OUT OF TOWN DUE TO A FAMILY EVENT. AND SHE WILL BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS THAT NEXT WEEK. AS WELL AS ITEM 4. IS FROM COUNCIL PERSON

[01:20:03]
