Nov 30, 2021 Executive Meeting

[12) PUBLIC COMMENTS (Part 1 of 2)]

[00:00:24]

GOOD EVENING. AS WE GET STARTED BECAUSE OF A COMMUNITY KITCHEN DISCOUNT WERE GOING TO MOVE JIMMY TO COME FORWARD AND ADDRESS THE COUNCIL.

AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A PRESENTATION BY MISTER DENNIS WISE OF HER CYCLOPS AND I HOPE I'M SAYING THAT CORRECTLY. IF NOT YOU CAN CORRECT ME. ISTER GARLAND YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. IF YOU WILL HIM NOT TO LIEUTENANT GIL HE WILL DISTRIBUTE UP FOR YOU. YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES. QUICK THINKING MAN.

HE SAID THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE FIVE. MY NAME IS JIMMY GARLAND AND I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE CLOCKS WERE BRANCH OF THE NAACP. I'M ALSO THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE CONFERENCE OF THE NAACP. IT IS THE OLDEST CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION IN THE STATE.

THE BRANCH IS CONCERNED THAT THE 2020 AND 2021 THE CITY AND DISTRICTS OCCURRED UNDER THE COVER OF SECRECY. SIMPLY PUT THE PROCESS LACKED TRANSPARENCY AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST ARE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR OR ADEQUATELY REPRESENTED.

ALTHOUGH THE CITY IS NOW ALLOWING THE PUBLIC INPUT THIS IS ONLY INCURRED AFTER THE LAST AND NOW YOU APPEAR TO VOTE. THE FACT THAT THE PROPOSED DISTRICT WAS DRAWN WITHOUT PUBLIC INPUT ESPECIALLY FROM COMMUNITIES OF COLOR MEANS THAT THIS INVITATION FOR CURRENT PUBLIC COMMENT IS BASICALLY IRRELEVANT. THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAS A HISTORY OF DRAWN LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT WITHOUT MEANINGFUL PUBLIC INPUT.

IT'S A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS A SELECTED GROUP OF PEOPLE TO PRIVATELY LEVERAGE THE PROCESS.

IN THESE INSTANCES THE SAME PATTERN EMERGES IN SECRET AND THEN PUBLIC INPUT IS ALLOWED AFTER THE DISTRICT IS DRAWN. WITH LITTLE TIME GIVEN FOR SUCH INPUT.

WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS THAT THE POLITICAL LEGISLATORS DISTRICTS COMPLY.

WITH THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AS WELL AS THE 14TH AND 15TH AMENDMENT.

THEY ARE FOUNDATIONAL WITH THE DISTRICT AND PROCESS. CURRENTLY THIS PROCESS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE LETTER AND THE SPIRIT OF THE PAST VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND LAWS.

THEREFORE WE AS A BRANCH CANNOT SUPPORT EITHER YOUR DRAWINGS NOR YOUR PROPOSED MAPS.

SINCE 2010 WE VETTED 33,800 RESIDENTS GROWING BY APPROXIMATELY 5%.

DATA FROM THE 2020 S SHOWS THE BLACK POPULATION HAS INCREASED BY BY 1%.

FROM 23.17 TO 24.13. THE HISPANIC AND LATINO POPULATION INCREASED BY 20.

THE PLANS LEAVE MOST OF THE WORDS UNCHANGED HOWEVER THEY DO NOT REFLECT DIVERSITY.

UNDER THE PROPOSED PLANS THREE OF THE 12 WORDS HAVE MAJORITY VOTING AGE POPULATION BARELY ABOVE 50%. TWO DISTRICTS HAVE NONWEIGHT VOTING POPULATIONS BELOW 30% FOR 711 AND THREE HAVE NOT POPULATIONS BELOW 45. NINE, 10 AND 12.

[00:05:01]

THE THREE MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICTS REMAIN THE SAME. TWO DISTRICTS OF POPULATIONS BEFORE 30 AND THREE DISTRICTS HAVE MINORITY PERCENTAGE BELOW 45.

IN CONCLUSION THE MAIN FACE COULD BE IMPROVED OVERALL BY WITHOUT DAMAGING ANY WORD WITH CURRENT FACILITY FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR WHILE RESPECTING LOCAL GEOGRAPHY AND THE CITY'S DEMOGRAPHIC DISPERSION WHICH WOULD BE IN NORTHEAST WORDS., 12, NINE AND 11.

THEY REMAIN UNCHANGED HOLDING CURRENT MAPS. ONE OF THESE WORDS IS A MAJORITY COALITION WITH SIGNIFICANT THE NEW DISTRICT WOULD HAVE AN ELECTRIC COMPARABLE TO THE MAJORITY SEEDS UNDER THE CURRENT PLAN WITH REMAINING NORTHEAST

DISTRICTS BETWEEN 45 AND 46 PEOPLE OF COLOR. >> PRESIDENT GARLAND YOUR TIME

[1) Presentation by Dennis Wise, VP of Business Development & Sales, Recyclops]

IS UP. THANK YOU SIR I APPRECIATE IT. >> MISTER DENNIS WISE? THIS IS PURELY PUBLIC COMMENT. MISTER WISES WITH A NEW COMPANY IN TOWN PROVIDING A VALUABLE

SERVICE, FREE CYCLOPS. >> YOU DID PRONOUNCE A QUICK CORRECTLY.

THANK YOU. >> THINK YOU MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AND TO MEMBERS OF STAFF IFICALLY MISTER HARPOLE. I THINK YOU HAVE A HYBRID PERSON THAT WORKS WITH THE CITY AND WITH THE COUNTY NAMED CARLY SUMMERS WHO HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL AS WELL.

I WANTED TO TAKE THIS TIME TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT RECYCLOPS. AS WELL AS WHO WE ARE AS A OMPANY, WHAT WE DO AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IN CLARKSVILLE AND THEN ALSO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN TENNESSEE BECAUSE IT'S RADIATING AS WELL.

RECYCLOPS IS FIRST AND FOREMOST AN ENVIRONMENTAL FIRM. WE ARE ACTUALLY SHOWING THE CORPORATE CHANNEL CHARTER IS A BENEFIT COURT SOME OF YOU FOLKS KNOW ABOUT DIFFERENT STRUCTURES OF CORPORATIONS AND BEING A BENEFIT CORPORATION MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE. YOU HAVE TO NOT ONLY TO MAKE A PROFIT BUT ALSO TO HAVE A BENEFIT TO MANKIND IN THE ENVIRONMENT. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DO.

DISAPPOINTED AS SIMPLY AS I CAN. OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE RECYCLING IN THE UNITED STATES AS POSSIBLE. THAT IS OUR MISSION STATEMENT.

WHAT WE DO TO ENABLE THAT AS WE LOOK FOR PLACES THAT ARE EITHER UNDERSERVED WITH RECYCLING PROGRAMS, HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RECYCLING PROGRAM ALL OR HAPPINESS POLITIES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO TERMINATE THEIR RECYCLING PROGRAMS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COST. COST IS JUST SKYROCKETED IN THIS AREA.

THAT'S WHO WE ARE AS A COMPANY AND WHY WE EXIST. WE'VE BEEN AROUND SINCE 2013.

THIS STARTED AS A IDEA WITH OUR CEO AND FOUNDER RYAN SMITH WHILE HE WAS A COLLEGE STUDENT.

HE CAME FROM SOUTH DIXIE WHICH HAS A VERY ROBUST RECYCLING PROGRAM AND SAID THIS IS AN ACCENT. THAT LAUNCHED HIM INTO UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD OF RECYCLING IN THESE YEARS LATER WE ARE ABOUT OUR FOURTH YEAR OF OPERATING THE COMPANY WITH THE CURRENT BUSINESS MODEL WHICH BORROWS HEAVILY FROM RIGHT YOUR COMPANIES.

THE BORROWING COMES INTO VERY IMPORTANT WAYS WHICH IS OPERATIONALLY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE OVERHEAD OF $400,000 TRUCKS SUPER HEAVY TRUCKS ABOUT YOUR STREETS.

AND WE DON'T HAVE THE OVERHEAD OF HAVING A FULL-TIME DEDICATED EMPLOYEE OR STAFF.

HE TOOK THOSE EXPENSES OUT AND THEN ON THE LEGAL ASPECTS BARRED FROM THEM LOOKING AT WHAT THEY DID AS A RELATES THAT MISTER POLITIES IN THE UNITED STATES THERE'S ORDINANCES RELATED TO TAXICAB WE DID THAT THAT WE WOULD NOT BE DEFENDING ANY ORDINANCES AS WE GO IN AND WORK IN DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES. THAT WAS THE BIG BORROW IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT RIGHT YOUR MODELS AND HOW THAT MIGHT COME INTO PLAY WITH OUR BUSINESS MODEL.

PACIFICALLY THAT ALLOWS US TO GO INTO THESE AREAS THAT CANCEL THESE PROGRAMS TO COSTS IN AREAS THAT HAVE HAD PROGRAMS BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED PRINTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.ITHOUT HAVING THOSE BIG COSTS THAT I MENTIONED WE ARE ABLE TO OPERATE EFFICIENTLY AND

[00:10:08]

GENESIS OUR HEAD OF COMMERCIAL BUSINESS. WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT CLARKSVILLE IS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU COME INTO AN AREA AND WE'VE OFFERED BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL AT THE SAME TIME WE LAUNCH OUR RESIDENTIAL BUSINESS AND THEN COME BACK AND OFFER COMMERCIAL. I WILL TALK ABOUT WHEN WE DO THAT IN A MINUTE WE TALK ABOUT TENNESSEE. IN TERMS OF WHAT WE DO WHEN WE GO IN, WE START BY LOOKING AT THE CITY. THIS IS AN AREA THAT WE SERVE? IS THERE A NEED FOR IT? AND THEN WHEN WE IN THE QUESTION EITHER A NEW LOCATION WHERE THEY GO TO THE LANDING PAGE IN THAT CITY AND CLICK THERE. ONCE WE HAVE 100 HOMES THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM THEN WE LAUNCH THE PROGRAM.I'VE BEEN IN THE MUNICIPAL WASTE PRODUCTION AND RECYCLING SPACE FOR THE PAST DECADE.

OUT OF RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFICULTY OF BEING ELECTED FOR A STAFF PERSON IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD THE JOB. IT IS RARE THAT EVERYBODY IS HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU. IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT JOB AND I RESPECT YOU FOR BEING IN THAT ARENA. I MAKE OUTREACH TO THOSE MENTALITIES BEFORE WE WERE GOING TO THAT AREA AND IF SOME OF YOU CAN THINK BACK, I REACHED OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME TO EVERYONE BACK IN MARCH. FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF THIS PAST YEAR TO LET YOU KNOW WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE COME INTO THE WEBSITE AND THEIR INTEREST IN HAVING THE SERVICE.

WOULD YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN TALKING WITH US? A LOT OF FOLKS WHEN THEY SEE THAT WE ARE PARTNERING SOMETHING POPS INTO THEIR HEAD RIGHT AWAY.

THAT'S NOT THE CASE. WE TALK WITH MISTER POLITIES THAT PARTNER COMPONENT IS TALKING ABOUT INFORMING AND EDUCATING YOUR CONSTITUENTS OR RESIDENTS THAT THIS IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM OPTION WILL BE AVAILABLE. WE DON'T ASK.

PAY IS ANYTHING AND WE DON'T ASK FOR YOU TO ADVERTISE. IT'S JUST INFORMING FOLKS.

ON THAT NOTE YOU GOT A PACKET FOR ME THAT WAS HANDED OUT BY LISA AND THAT PACKET CONTAINS A COUPLE OF FLYERS THAT PEOPLE SEE WHEN THEY COME TO OUR WEBSITE AND REQUEST INFORMATION OR SOMETIMES THEY ARE MAILED TO THEM. THEN YOU SEE WHAT IS GENERALLY USED AS MY PRESENTATION DECK WHEN I SEND OUT AN INITIAL EMAIL TO A GENUS OF ELECTIVES ARE STAFF PEOPLE. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS A COMMERCIAL PRESENTATION THAT THEY SHARE WITH INTERESTED POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. HE HAS HAD AN EMERGENCY MEETING BACK IN NOVEMBER SO WE TABLED IT. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH THIS PROGRAM WITH A TREMENDOUS RESPONSE. WE ALREADY HAVE WELL OVER 200 CUSTOMERS. PEOPLE ARE JUST HERE AND I HAVE TO SAY BOTH BILL AND ESPECIALLY CARLY. THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT THEY PUT IN AND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY CONNECTED US WITH THAT DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB BECAUSE THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND MAKING SURE THAT THIS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE. I JUST I TELL YOU TWO QUICK THINGS AND I'LL GET OUT OF HERE. ONE, THE NEXT STEP FORWARD INVOLVE THE COUNTY. AVERTING ME THE PRESENTATION TO THE COUNTY I THINK THREE WEEKS

[00:15:06]

WE SERVE THEM IF THEY CAN GET TOGETHER 30 TO 50 HOMES OUT THERE.

SHE IS A VERY IMPORTANT STATE TO US. THEY ARE ACTUALLY OUR LARGEST STATE IN TERMS OF TOTAL NUMBERS OF CUSTOMERS. WE BRANCHED OUT TO NASHVILLE WHERE THIS MOMENT WE PROVIDE GLASS ONLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A COLLECTION PROGRAM IN THEIR GRADING THAT COLLECTION PROGRAM WHO ARE CONSIDERING OFFERING OUR SERVICES THERE ON A NORMAL BASIS BECAUSE THEY ONLY COLLECT ONCE PER MONTH THAT THEY'RE MAKING A CHANGE TO THAT TO EVERY OTHER WEEK. WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING A SERVICE NATIONWIDE I WILL ACTUALLY START OUT PILOTING IT IN NASHVILLE. WE WILL RECYCLE EVERYTHING.

WE ALSO OPERATE IN KINGSPORT, BARTLETT, PUTNAM COUNTY I KNOW I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING.

TENNESSEE IS A VERY IMPORTANT PLACE FOR US. MY FIRST REACH OUT TO CLARKSVILLE AND CARLY RESPONDED WE WERE VERY HAPPY. AGAIN THE RESPONSES BEEN TREMENDOUS. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY I THINK WE'LL HAVE A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP. YOU HAVE MY CONTACT INFORMATION SO IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE ELECTRONIC VERSIONS OF THOSE FLYERS TO SHARE WITH CONSTITUENTS JUST EMAIL ME AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THEM. QUICK THANK YOU MISTER WISE WE

[2) PLANNING COMMISSION]

WELCOME YOU TO CLARKSVILLE. >> LET'S GET INTO OUR PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT.

>> ITEM NUMBER ONE IS RESOLUTION 33 Ã202 ONE Ã22 ANNEXING TERRITORY ALONG HIGHWAY 76 AND LITTLE HOPE ROAD CAN WE MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE AS WE WAIT FOR THE

INFORMATION TO COME UP. >> ABSOLUTELY LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER THREE OR 602021 Ã

22. >> I'LL TAKE THIS MOMENT TO SAY THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE HERE THURSDAY SO I ENCOURAGE ANY QUESTIONS NOW WORK YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE THURSDAY PLEASE REACH OUT. I WILL BE IN THE OFFICE BUT I JUST CANNOT COME THURSDAY NIGHT. ALSO, WE HAD OUR ZONING CUT OFF FOR APPLICATIONS THIS PAST MONDAY. WE RAN SOME NUMBERS COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR WE HAVEN'T SEEN A YEAR LIKE THIS SINCE 1984 IN TERMS OF TOTAL APPLICATIONS IN THE CITY.

IT WILL TOP OUT 86. WITH 74 AND 1984 AND THAT WAS THE HIGHEST POINT IN OUR RECORDED HISTORY THAT WE BEEN DOING ZONING FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY.

THE COUNTY ALSO EXCEEDED THEIR HIGHEST SINCE 2006. THAT IS FOR THE PERSPECTIVE WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING WITH THIS PAST YEAR. APPARENTLY THERE'S MUSIC.

>> S OKAY.> I DON'T. >> THIS IS JUST SPECULATION. DO YOU THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH

PEOPLE SELLING LAND BECAUSE OF MONEY THAT THEY NEED? >> MY TYPICAL RESPONSE TO THAT QUESTION WHEN I GET FROM ANYONE IN THE MEDIA OR ANYONE ASKING IN GENERAL AS SORT OF A PERFECT STORM OF THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN IT, THE WORST TIME TO GET UP THAT

[00:20:03]

WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS SPEAKING WITH ELIZABETH BLACK WHEN WE WERE WORKING ON THE REDISTRICTING. SHE GETS TO SEE THE PEOPLE MAY COME IN AND REGISTER TO VOTE WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM. SO A LOT OF CALIFORNIA, MICHIGAN, ILLINOIS AS EXPECTED. WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE BUILDING AND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT BUT SO ARE THE TOWNS AND COUNTIES AROUND US. IT'S A LARGER MIDDLE TENNESSEE PROBLEM IT'S NOT JUST THE CLARKSVILLE PROBLEM. IF NASHVILLE WASN'T GROWING AS MUCH RIGHT NOW WE CAN PROBABLY BORROW A LOT OF THE WORKERS THAT WE'RE COMPETING FOR THE SAME CREW AND EQUIPMENT. REVERSING THE SAME CRUNCHES FOR WATER METERS AND ELECTRIC METERS AND SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES. THROUGH THAT IN THE HOPPER TOGETHER IN A COUPLE THAT WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DAVIDSON COUNTY IN THE LAST TWO YEARS WITH PROPERTY TAX INCREASES.

FOLKS JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF THERE HAVE A BETTER EDUCATION SYSTEM.

HE SAID DURING THE TOGETHER AND I THINK THAT'S WHY THERE IS AN INFLUX OF PEOPLE WANTING TO MOVE HERE AND PEOPLE DON'T LEAVE HERE. YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SEE THAT FOR

AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR AND-A-HALF. >> THE FIRST CASES FAMILIAR TO MOST OF US HERE. THIS IS ORDINANCE 6020 21 AND 2022 THE PLANNING COMMISSION CASE NUMBER Z 71 Ã2021. APPLICATION OF RITA HOMEBUILDERS FOR 2.5 ACRES.

IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED R ÃONE AND IT'S CURRENTLY REQUESTING TO GO TO OUR ÃFOUR.

IT IS AN EXTENSION TO THE EAST. THE PROPERTIES LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF TWIN WENT RIVERS ROAD AT THE INTERSECTION. THIS IS IN CITY COUNCIL NUMBER NINE.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY WITH AN OUTBUILDING AND SEVERAL MATURE TREES. THE APPLICANT STATEMENT IS TO REZONE TO BUILD CONDOS TO SELL INDIVIDUALLY WITHIN A JOY TO ENSURE PROPERTY AINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT.

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN UP SINCE 2012 FOR REZONING.

WE HAVE SOME UPDATED PICTURES. THIS IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.

THERE'S A SINGLE HOUSE IN THE BACK THERE. THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE STREET AND SOME. THIS IS LOOKING AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY BACK TOWARDS OLD TRENTON ROAD AND THE PROPERTY IS ON THE RIGHT. THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE

IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY. >> THE DEPARTMENT COMMENTS SHOULD SEWER AVAILABLE IN THE AREA. THE STREET APARTMENT DID REQUIRE A REVISED TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT AND THEY PROVED THAT.

THERE WERE NO OTHER COMMENTS OR CONCERNS AND YOU HAVE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM COMMENTS REGARDING THE CAPACITY OF THEIR SYSTEM. HISTORICAL ESTIMATES BUT THIS AT 46 UNIT AND THE APPLICANT DID NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF THEIR OWN.

DOCUMENTS APPROVAL. THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND-USE PLAN AND AT THE REQUEST OF THE CONTINUATION OF THE ARTIST FOR ZONING TO THE EAST.

IT'S A MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL CLASSIFICATION OUT OF CHARACTER WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA WITH ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE. THE PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

>> COUNCILPERSON RENTALS? >> WOMAN: I KNOW PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THIS QUESTION BUT WE ARE FILLING ON A ROAD WITH ANOTHER APARTMENT BUILDING. IDEWALKS REQUIRED WITH APARTMENT BUILDING? AT ONE POINT DO WE AND FELL AND PUT IN A SIDEWALK?

>> WE REQUIRE WHAT WE CALL PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY. B& FIRST GETTING THE PROPERTY OUT OF TRENTON. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'VE OFTEN DONE.

IT REQUIRES A SIDEWALK THAT FARBER REACH OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

>> I'M EVEN TALKING ABOUT HIS RESEARCH AND FELL. I'M TO TALK ABOUT IT LATER AS WELL BUT EVEN AS WE CAN FILL THESE BUSY ROADS, PIECES OF SIDEWALK ARE WE JUST GOING TO ASSUME THAT THE TAXPAYERS WILL PAY FOR THE ROAD AND THE SIDEWALK WHEN NEEDED AND WHERE NOT TO TRY TO BUILD AS WE GO? THAT'S WHAT IT IS APPARENT. YOU GO UP TO THE CORNER WHERE

[00:25:04]

WE ARE IN FILLING THESE AREAS WHICH IS WHAT WE SAY WE WANT TO DO.

ONCE AGAIN WE ARE NOT RESPECTING IT. BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD THAT DUMP TRUCKS GO PRETTY FAST. THEY'RE NOT SO SICK I WENT DOWN TRENTON RIVER THEY DO.

AT WHAT POINT? I GUESS NOW THE QUESTION IS WE HAVE TO PUT EVERYTHING ON THE TAXPAYERS DIME AND THEY'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT WHEN IT'S TIME? QUICK TO THINK THAT THE BIGGER QUESTION I CAN ANSWER UNFORTUNATELY I THINK THAT THE

POLICY THAT THE CITY AND THE COUNCIL NEED TO CONSIDER. >> I FEEL LIKE WE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO HER OWN SIDEWALK REGULATION. I WILL BRING IT UP LATER.

AND OTHER RESIDENTS ARE STILL OPPOSED. >> COUNCILPERSON ALLEN YOU

RECOGNIZE. >> DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN IT IS THAT MAYBE THE CITY WORKS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OR SOMEBODY ELSE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. THEY WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER AND SAY HEY, WE'RE IN AN HERE. WORK WITH THE SIDEWALK DOWN HERE.

WHY DON'T WE GO TOGETHER AND WORK TOGETHER TO DO THE REST? HOW OFTEN DOES THAT HAPPEN?

>> IT HAPPENS WHEN IT CAN HAPPEN. I THINK THE POWELL ROAD INTERSECTION IS THE MOST RECENT EXAMPLE I CAN POINT TO. THE CITY WAS DOING THE WORK OUT THERE ALREADY AND THE DEVELOPER CAME IN AROUND THE CORNER. THEY SHARE THE COST OF THAT UPGRADED SIGNAL. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE WE WILL GET FOR INSTANCE MISTER BLUE OFF OF 76 AND X11. YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE A CITY PROJECT IN THE HOPPER, WHEN IT'S BEING DESIGNED RIGHT NOW SO THAT WHEN SOMETHING COMES IN IT'S HARDER TO REQUEST THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE DON'T HAVE A PROJECT GOING ON RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE DEVELOPER NOW DO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WORK. THEY HEARD THE FUTURE PROGRESS ON THE PROJECT DOES COME IN.

IT'S EASIER WHEN THE PROJECT HAS BEEN DESIGNED OR YOU ARE IN LAND ACQUISITION BECAUSE HE PRETTY MUCH OR VERY FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THE FINAL OUTCOME WILL BE IN YOU ENOUGH THE

DEVELOPER AT THAT TIME TO PITCH IN. >> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR NEEDS? SEEING NUMBER WE ARE READY FOR ITEM FOR ORDINANCE 61.

>> THIS IS A PLANNING COMMISSION CASE NUMBER Z Ã72. THE EVOCATION OF BRIAN WOLF.

THE AGENT IS ROY DALE. 11.7 ACRES CURRENTLY ZONED R Ã TWO A AND REQUESTING TO GO TO OUR ÃFOUR. THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE ZONING ASSIFICATION AND THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED OFF MCCORMICK LANE WHICH IS BY TRACY LANE BETWEEN P RIDGE ROAD AND WHITFIELD. A PORTION OF THIS PROPERTY IS ALREADY ZONED AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PHOTO THEY ARE ASKING FOR IT TO BE ZONED R ÃFOUR. IT IS COUNCIL NUMBER 11.

IT IS A WOODED TRACK WITHIN AN EXISTING'S STREET TRACK IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE APPLICANT STATEMENT IS THE PROPERTY IS REZONED CONSISTENT WITH THEM ADJACENT ZONING TO ALLOW FOR MULTI FAMILY. THIS PRESIDENT HAS HAD ONE IN ONE ZONING CASE, A SUBDIVISION AND ZONING PROJECT. THE CORE MCLEAN IS ARTY ACCOMMODATION WITH 68 FLEXES AND OTHER MEDICAL MULTIFAMILY STRUCTURES. THIS IS AT THE END OF THE STREET. IT'S JUST WHAT IT AND IT DOES FOLLOW FAIRLY QUICKLY SO THE ENTIRE CANNOT GET DEVELOPED. THERE IS ALSO TO BE A LINE IN THE BACK SONY DEVELOPMENT ARE GOING TO BE ON THE HIGHER PROPERTY WHICH IS WHERE THIS ROAD DOES CONNECT.

>> THE COMMENTS OR CONCERNS, GAS AND R SAY IT WILL REQUIRE UPGRADES.

THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT WAS FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM REGARDING THE STATUS OF THEIR CAPACITY OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS. HISTORICAL ESTIMATES WILL PUT THIS AT 140 UNITS.

THE APPLICANT ESTIMATES 164 UNITS. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

A PROPOSED REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND-USE PLAN.

THE R ÃFOUR REQUEST IS A CONTINUATION OF THE ZONING TO THE NORTH AND WEST.

[00:30:03]

ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE SERVES THE SITE WITHOUT A MET INFORMATION.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. >> ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING

ORDINANCE 61? >> COUNCILPERSON RENTALS YOUR RECOGNIZE.

>> AS A LOOK AT THE SYSTEM TO BE ONLY ONE WAY IN AND OUT IS THAT CORRECT?

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> WOULDN'T HAVE THESE OTHER ROADS AND NO OTHER STOPS.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE AMOUNT TROPHY CHERRIES TO THE EAST SMITHSON LANE CAME IN RECENTLY THAT THERE WASN'T A THOUGHT OF THIS PROPERTY COULD DEVELOP DUE TO THE TERRAIN. THERE IS A VERY VAIN AN EASEMENT BETWEEN TROPHY TRACE AND THIS PROPERTY SO THAT'S WHY THERE IS NO STUB THERE IN THE PAST.

MCCORMICK LANE GOES OUT TO TRACY LANE AT ONE POINT. >> OKAY THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING ORDINANCE 61? >> IS OUR TO A HOW MANY UNITS

ARE POSSIBLE TO FIT ON THIS PROPERTY? >> A BALLPARK FIGURE IS 11 ACRES AND PROBABLY ABOUT 40 GIVE OR TAKE. THE TRAIN WOULD BE THAT POINT.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE? >> ITEM NUMBER FIVE NUMBER 62.

>> THIS IS PLANNING COMMISSION CASE NUMBER Z Ã75. 2021.

THE APPLICATION OF BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH. THE AGENT IS JOHN.

THIS IS CURRENTLY ZONED 01 AND PROPOSE TO GO TO OUR ÃFIVE. IT IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF THE CLASSIFICATION. THE PROPERTY FRONTS SEND GO ROAD AND WHAT LANE INTERSECTION. THIS IS A COUNCIL ORDINANCE NUMBER 10.

IT'S A GRASSLAND AREA WITH AREAS OF MODERATE BORDERS EAST 24 IT IS FOR A PROPOSED CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT. THE CHURCH OWNS THE ENTIRE OAKLAND PIECE OF PROPERTY SHOWN IN THIS PICTURE. THEY ARE JUST GOING TO REZONE AND DEVELOP THAN 10 ACRES FOR THAT LARGER PIECE. THIS IS THE ENTRANCE AT THE CORNER AS A CURSE TO THE SOUTH.

THIS IS LOOKING FROM WHAT ELAINE OVER TO THE CURRENT PRIVATE DRIVE FOR THE CHURCH AND THEY WILL USE THAT DRIVEWAY AND UPGRADED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE CHURCH'S PURPOSE. THIS IS LOOKING BACK UP WHAT ELAINE.

THERE IS PROPERTY YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS FILE ROAD AND EVERYTHING ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROAD IS WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED WITH BALLFIELD AND SLOPE THERE WILL NOT BE DEVELOPED WHILE THE CURRENT CHURCH. THERE IS A CURRENT PRIVATE LINE I WOULD HAVE TO GET IMPROVED AS THEY DEVELOP TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE.

THE DEPARTMENT COMMENTS SHOULD GAS AND WATER SO THERE'S NO SEWER AVAILABLE.

THE TRIP GENERATION WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT TO THE STREET DEPARTMENT AND ACCEPTED. NO OTHER COMMENTS OR CONCERNS EXCEPT FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM'S CAPACITY CONCERNS. HISTORICAL ESTIMATES PUT US AT 125 UNITS.

THE APPLICANT DID NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE. SEX RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND THE PROPOSED RSI DISTRICT IS NOT OUT OF CHARACTER WITH ASTOUNDING CASES AND PROPERTIES. THE ADOPTED LAND-USE PLAN HAS A TABLE NEXT THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. THE BISHOPS ARE SEARCH THE SITE WITH NO AND SHE IDENTIFIED.

THE PLAINTIFF COMMENCED APPROVAL COUNCILPERSON RENTALS YOUR RECOGNIZE.

>> IS IT NORMAL TO HAVE PRIVATE DRIVE? WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE IT IS A FAIRLY LENGTHY PRIVATE DRIVE. IS THAT NORMAL?

>> IT CAN BE. >> INTO THE CHURCH? WHAT IF THE CHURCH GETS SOLD

QUESTION MARK WHAT HAPPENS WITH THAT ROAD? >> WILL SEE IF THEY WANT TO MAKE THIS A PUBLIC ROAD IF IT WAS PUBLIC THEY WILL HAVE TO A CERTAIN STANDARD IF THESE PRIVATE WILL REQUIRE INITIALLY TO BE SET UP BEFOREHAND. THAT WILL SHORTEN 62?

AND THEN WE ARE ITEM NUMBER 663. >> THE PLANNING COMMISSION CASE THE 76 2021. THIS IS THE APPLICATION OF LARRY CHAPELLE.

THE AGENT IS CHRIS BLACKWELL. THIS IS 2.76 ACRES CURRENTLY ZONED R ÃONE REQUEST ÃFOUR.

[00:35:01]

THE APPLICANT STATEMENT AS THIS WILL CREATE TRANSITION ZONING BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND SINGLE-FAMILY FOR PROPOSE MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS GUPTON LANE.

BUT ARE HERE WITH THE TRAFFIC SIGN EASIER THE RETAINING WALL IS A PRIVATE RETAINING WALL FOR THE BUSINESS THAT IS THERE. THIS IS LOOKING UP GUPTON CIRCLE THAT BYPASSES TO THE RIGHT AND THAT'S RELATIVELY NARROW IN THIS AREA. THIS IS LOOKING FROM THE CEMETERY ON YOUR LEFT BACK TOWARDS THE PROPERTY WERE AT START WHICH IS WHERE THE ZONING REQUEST WOULD BE. THERE ARE NO COMMENTS OR CONCERNS.

THE STREET DEPARTMENT THAT THEY NEED TO EVALUATE THE CONDITION OF GUPTON LANE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE. THERE WERE NO OTHER COMMENTS OR CONCERNS.

I BELIEVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DID BRING UP THE NARROWNESS OF THE ROAD.

IF THAT WAS DEVELOPED IT WIDENED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE.

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM YOU SEE THE COMMENTS WITH THE CAPACITY OF THEIR SYSTEM.

HISTORICAL ESTIMATES ARE 33 UNITS. STAFF RECOMMENDS DISAPPROVAL AND PROPOSE REQUEST IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAND-USE PLAN.

THE ADOPTED PLAN INDICATES THAT THE PRESENT R ÃONE CLASSIFICATION IS ASSUMED TO BE CORRECT UNLESS THE PROPOSED ZONE IS MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN OR THE PARCEL IS ZONED INCORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE WHERE MAJOR CHANGE IS NOT CONSIDERED IN THE PRESENT PLAN WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY OR ALTERING THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA.

>> ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ORDINANCE? >> YOU SAID THAT YOU GUYS THIS PURPOSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND-USE PLAN CORRECT? AND THEN I GUESS THIS QUESTION WOULD BE FOR MY COLLEAGUE. WHAT AT THE BOARD DISPROVE IT?

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? >> WE'RE MEETING A WEEK AGO NOT TO EXCUSE MADE IN RECORD THE MOTION BUT IF THE REPRESENTATIVE REMEMBERS I DON'T REMEMBER YOU MAY THE MOTION. I BELIEVE THEY ALSO MENTIONED ABOUT IT NOT BEING AN APPROPRIATE INDICATION TO INTRODUCE MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

>> I APOLOGIZE THAT OUR MEMBER THE EXACT REASONING THAT I GAVE ON THAT MOTION THAT I MADE.

A VERY MUCH WENT ALONG WITH THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND WE HAD SEVERAL REASONS ON THERE FOR IT AS TO WHY THIS WAS IN THIS WASN'T THE PROPER ZONING THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE THIS FOR.

FOR ME WAS PRETTY MUCH AN EASY DECISION TO MAKE TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR DISAPPROVAL AND GO

ALONG WITH THAT. >> MY FINAL QUESTION WOULD BE TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER THAT PRESENTS THIS. SINCE YOU KNOW THE AREA BETTER THAN THE REST OF US I WAS JUST

CURIOUS WHAT YOUR FEELINGS ON IT ARE. >> THE ROAD IS PRETTY NARROW.

IF YOU'RE WALKING IT IS A HAZARD AND PEOPLE FLY UP AND DOWN AND EVERYWHERE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS THOUGH. THAT'S MY TWO CENTS.

>> THINK YOU GUYS. >> COUNCILPERSON ALAN YOUR RECOGNIZE.

>> I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF C ÃTWO DOWN THERE. IS ANY OF THAT IN THAT AREA HAVING THE APARTMENTS BUILT TOWARDS THAT? YOU COULD DO APARTMENTS AND COMMERCIAL.

[00:40:03]

DO ANY OF THOSE HAVE APARTMENTS AT THIS POINT? >> NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

CLOSER TO THE BYPASS THERE ARE VARIOUS DIFFERENT BUSINESSES WITH UNIFORM CLOTHING STORE.

I THINK THERE'S A RESTAURANT IN THE AREA. IT'S KIND OF A RANDOM MIXTURE

OF BUSINESSES. >> NO APARTMENTS. >> NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.

>> NONE OF THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED AS APARTMENTS.> AS I WAS ASKING.

>> COMES UP MEMBER STREET YOUR RECOGNIZE. >> ONE THING THAT WAS ALSO TALKED ABOUT WAS WELL THERE MIGHT BE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEM COMING IN AS FAR AS GUPTON CIRCLE, GUPTON LANE WAS LIKELY SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT CAN HAVE IMPROVEMENTS TO IT.

IT COMES FROM 7 MILE FERRY ROAD AS IS POINTED OUT IT'S NOT ANYWHERE AROUND THERE.

IT'S A VERY NARROW STRIP OF ROAD THAT'S RIGHT THERE. ALSO, THE MAJORITY OF THIS IS A

CEMETERY CRACK. >> THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE A COMMENT OR QUESTION ABOUT WARD AND 63? WE ARE READY FOR ITEM 7 NUMBER 64.

>> THIS IS PLANNING COMMISSION CASE THE 77 Ã2021. APPLICANT IS QUICK TRIP CORPORATION AND THE AGENT IS LOST BOWMAN. THIS IS 14.7 ACRES CURRENTLY ZONED TO SEE ÃFOR REQUESTING TO GO TO SEE ÃTWO. IT'S NOT AN EXEMPTION.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED WEST OF I 24 PIECE OF THE ROSS VIEW SCHOOL COMPLEX.

HERE'S THE ONE ZONING MAP AND I'LL GIVE YOU THIS BECAUSE IT'S HARD PROPERTIES.

THIS IS AN COUNCIL WORD 12 AND THE PROPERTIES LOCATED RELATIVELY LEVEL AND TRIANGULAR SHAPE. THE APPLICANT STATEMENT IS FOR MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT.

IT SOUND THREE TIMES PRIOR. THE PROPERTIES ARE BEHIND THE TREE LINE.

THERE ARE NO OTHER COMMENTS OR CONCERNS. THE SYSTEM, NOT ONLY NOTED THERE CAPACITIES AT THE SYSTEM ACTIVITIES ONLY TO DECREASE DISCUSSION OF THE OPERATION DEPARTMENT. WE WOULD HAVE TO TALK TO THEM WHETHER THEY BE SIDEWALK OR ROAD CONNECTION BECAUSE IT'S REZONED TO MULTI FAMILY. HISTORICAL ESTIMATES WE 176 UNITS. STAFF RECOMMENDS DISAPPROVAL OF THE PROPOSE REQUEST BECAUSE IT'S INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAND-USE PLAN. THE INTERCHANGE DISTRICT IS THE CORRECT ZONING APPLICATION FOR THIS TRACT AND IT IS INTENDED PRIMARILY FOR TRANSIENT SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS AND AUTOMOBILE SERVICE ORIENTED ESTABLISHES.

ZONING IS LIMITED IN THESE AREAS OF INTERSTATE EXITS. IT IS NOT ENCOURAGED TO REDUCE THE STOCK OF C4 ZONING IN THIS AREA DUE TO THE LIMITED STOCK FOR THIS EXIT.

THIS TRACK HAS VISIBILITY EASTBOUND ON I 24 AND HE SPENT HIS ABILITY INCREASES THE LIABILITY OF THE SITE FOR FUTURE USES LOCATED AT THE CENTER CHANGE.

ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL SERVE THE SITE AND REVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. >> COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS YOUR

RECOGNIZED. >> I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF

RECOMMENDATIONS IS DISAPPROVED. >> OKAY MISS THAT. >> MY QUESTION IS WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY? DO THEY ON THE PROPERTY IN FRONT OF IT?

>> THE QUICK TRIP CORPORATION OWNS EVERYTHING YOU SEE THERE IN BLUE.

>> HOW DO THEY CONNECT TO THE ROAD? >> YOU'RE NOT SAYING THAT BECAUSE IT'S SO NOW. YOU'LL MAYBE SEE A LITTLE NOTCH IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THIS PROPERTY. THAT'S WHERE THE CUL-DE-SAC IS BEING BUILT RIGHT NOW.

THEY BUILT THE PRIVATE ROAD TO ACCESS BOTH THE GAS STATION AND FOR OTHER OUT PARCELS OF WHICH

[00:45:05]

THAT WILL BE TIED TOGETHER WITHOUT ROAD AND THAT QUICK TRIP.

>> OKAY, THE SCHOOL DOES NOT WANT APARTMENTS THERE. THEY WOULD HAVE RATHER HAVE

BUSINESSES? >> MAN: WHAT THEY HAVE SAID IS THE CONNECTIVITY OF THAT ROAD TO THE BACK END OF THE SCHOOL COMPLEX WOULD BE AT THEIR DISCRETION.

NOT OUR DISCUSSION. IT IS A PLAY OFF OF OTHER ZONING CASES THAT HAVE HAPPENED RECENTLY WHERE WE HAVE TRIED TO TIE THE ROADS TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO ALLEVIATE PEOPLE GOING ON THE ROADS. THAT IS A FIGHT WE OR ARGUMENT THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONSTANTLY HAS. WE HAVE MORE CONNECTION TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS AND THEY WANT TO CONTROL THEIR CAMPUSES MORE AND LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF CONNECTIONS.

I WOULD RATHER GIVE DRIVERS MORE OPTIONS TO GET TO AND FROM SCHOOL SITE THAN THEY WENT.

>> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> WHY DID THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE YES INSTEAD OF

NO? >> MAN: THE DEVELOPER WAS THERE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION AND I THINK THEIR PRESENTATION HELPS SWAY SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS THAT WERE IN ATTENDANCE THERE.

I ALSO THINK THEY THINK THE NEED FOR MULTIFAMILY OUTWEIGHS THE POTENTIAL HOTEL OR RESTAURANT USES CONSIDERING THAT THERE IS C4 STILL IN FRONT OF THIS PROPERTY.

THAT'S WHERE THE STAFF IN THAT PLANNING COMMISSION DISAGREES ABOUT THE FUTURE POTENTIAL

HERE. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILPERSON BUTLER YOUR

RECOGNIZED. >> WOMAN: THANK YOU MAYOR. SO, WHEN I SPOKE LAST MONTH AND SAID A BUILDER HAD REACHED OUT TO ME. THIS IS THE BUILDER THAT REACH OUT TO ME. I THINK THAT THEY SAID THEY EMAILED YOU THE PLAN WAS PRESENTED.IF THEY DID NOT GET WITH ME PLEASE AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET IT.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL. >> IF YOU WOULD SHARE THAT WITH THE CLERKERK.

>> ABSOLUTELY. I'M JUST GONNA TELL THE BUILDER TO SEND IT AGAIN.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL. IT IS A REALLY NICE PLANNED OUT NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M PRETTY SURE IT HAS SIDEWALKS. I WOULD HAVE TO REMEMBER ABOUT IT'S JUST REALLY COOL USE FOR THIS LAND. IT INVOLVES THEIR OFFICE BUILDINGS IN THERE, THEY HAVE THEIR CLUBHOUSE AND GOOD STUFF. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THAT. ON THE FLIPSIDE, I UNDERSTAND WHY WE WANT THE C ÃFOUR FOR HOTELS. UNDERSTAND THAT HOTELS ARE WAY OVER BOOKED.

I HAVE TRIED TO STAY AT HOTEL ON THE WEEKEND WHEN I LIVED ELSEWHERE IT'S NOT A FUN TIME.

I WANT TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST, YOUR STAFF WAS NOT

UNANIMOUSLY DISAPPROVING. RIGHT? >> WE DON'T DISCUSS THAT.E ACT AS A BODY BUT STAFF AS A WHOLE VOTED FOR THE DISAPPROVAL.

>> THIS IS 14 ACRES. THEY ALREADY OWN IT. JUST BECAUSE WE SAY NO, YOU GUYS CAMPUSES APARTMENT COMICS HERE DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GETTING HOTELS THERE EITHER.

THEY COULD PAVE IT AND LET TRUCKS SLEEP THERE OVERNIGHT OR SOMETHING.

IT IS ALREADY THEIRS. THAT WAS JUST MY TWO CENTS. I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLAN FOR THIS FOR THE SAME REASON THAT YOU SAID THAT THE BOARD HAD BEEN SWAYED AS WELL. IT IS A REALLY COOL PLAN. I THINK THAT THAT'S EVERYTHING

I HAVE. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILPERSON MEMBER STREET

IN YOUR RECOGNIZED. >> WOMAN: I WANT TO SAY TO THE PRESENTATION THAT THEY GAVE THEY DID SHOW QUITE A IT AND THEY MAY NEED AN UPDATED MAP BECAUSE THEY HAD MORE OFFICE SPACE TO IT BECAUSE THAT'S ONE QUESTION I HAD ABOUT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE SHOWING ON THERE.

THIS WOULD BE A TRUE SEAT TO MIXTURE. A LOT OF TIMES WE SEE MORE PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR C ÃTWO AND THEY JUST BUILT RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS WHICH SHOULD BE OUR ÃFOUR. THIS IS A TRUE MIX AND THEY WOULD HAVE THE COMPONENT OF THE OFFICE SPACE IN THERE. I DID ONCE AT THAT. AND HE MENTIONED THE OFFICE BUT I REALLY WANT TO GO INTO THAT THAT THEY ARE GETTING THE TRUE REQUEST OF WHERE THEY ARE AT

GOING FORWARD. >> COUNCILPERSON REYNOLDS? >> WOMAN: IT'S PROBABLY NOT NECESSARILY FOR THIS BUT THIS IS NEXT TO A SCHOOL. THAT IS MY CONCERN.T'S NEXT TO A HIGH SCHOOL AND I KNOW THAT YOU TALK ABOUT PEOPLE DRIVING IN BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING IN OUR COUNTRY. I KNOW THAT THAT IS PART OF THE

[00:50:01]

SAME CONCERN. I'M NOT SURE. >> THANK YOU, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING ORDINANCE 64? SEEING THEN WE ARE READY FOR

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. ORDINANCE 65. >> THIS IS PLANNING COMMISSION CASE FILE C Ã78 2021. THE APPLICATION OF WHEN PROPERTIES LP.

THE AGENT IS CHRIS WITH CLARKSVILLE. THIS IS 19.2 ACRES CURRENTLY ZONED C ÃFOUR RECOMMENDED TO GOAD TO SEE ÃTWO. IT IS NOT AN EXEMPTION.

THE PROPERTY FRONTS THE SOUTH FRONTAGE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD PROXIMATELY 25 FEET NORTHEAST OF THE MCCAIN FIRE STATION ROAD TERSECTION. THIS IS STILL CONSULT CITY COUNCIL WORD NUMBER 10. THE STATEMENT IS A PORTION IS MORE SUITABLE FOR COMMERCIAL OR MULTIUSE TO ELIMINATE ANY BIG BOX RETAIL NET EXISTING RESIDENTIAL.

HERE'S A ZONING MAP. TO COMPARE TO THE PREVIOUS CASE EXIT 11 IS PROBABLY OVERPOPULATED FOR C ÃFOUR AND MUCH FURTHER AWAY FROM THE INTERCHANGE APPROACHING HALF A MILE AT THIS POINT FROM THE INTERCHANGE AND THIS PROPERTY IS OFF OF MLK.

THIS DEVELOPER IS LEAVING THE C ÃFOUR ON THE FRONTAGE OF MARTIN LUTHER KING PARKWAY BUT THE REAR PORTION OFF OF FIRE STATION ROAD AND WHEN WAY WHICH IS THE NEW ROAD PUT IN BY THE DEVELOPER, THE SOUTH PORTION OF THAT WILL BE REQUESTED TO GO TO SEC ÃTWO.

THE PROPERTY TO THE LEFT WILL REMAIN A C ÃFOUR. THIS IS LOOKING BACK TOWARDS ABILENE CONDOS. THE PROPERTY WOULD BE ADJACENT AND I WILL TELL YOU THE DEVELOPER WILL BE HERE THURSDAY. HE DID A LOT OF OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME THE DEVELOPER BROUGHT COMMUNITY OUT TO SUPPORT HIM AND WHEN HE WAS DOING. KUDOS TO HIM FOR DOING THE LEGWORK YOU HAVE TIME.

THIS IS LOOKING BACK WHEN WAY WITH THE FIRE STATION, FITNESS AND OTHER PROPERTIES TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT WOULD BE PC ÃWO. I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF DEBATE IF WE ARE DOING C ÃTWO AND THEY REALLY MEAN C ÃFOUR. THE SAME DEVELOPER DISCUSS ACROSS THE STREET. JUST THE PROPERTY. IN THIS CASE IS MORE OR LESS PROVIDING THE FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LAND FROM THE APARTMENT THEY WILL USE AND HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL LAND AS THEY MARKET IT OUT.

IS A PLAN I CAN SEE MY FIRE STATION ROAD FRONTAGE FOR COMMERCIAL AND THE PROPERTIES BEHIND IT OR OFF WHEN WE WOULD BE USED FOR RESIDENTIAL. THERE ARE VALUE OPTIONS.

NO OTHER COMMENTS OR CONCERNS FROM THE DEPARTMENT. THERE IS A NOTED SINKHOLE ON SITE AND YOU CAN SEE THE COMMENTS REGARDING THE CAPACITY.

HISTORICAL ESTIMATES IF THE ENTIRE THING WERE DEVELOPED FOR 230 UNITS.

STAFF RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THE PROPOSED ZONING CLASSES CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND-USE PLAN. THE AREA OF THE REQUEST IS ON THE FRINGE OF THE ESTABLISHED R ÃFOUR INTERCHANGE DISTRICT WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. PARKWAY.

THE C ÃTWO DISTRICT PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL SERVICES ARE ALREADY. THE ZONING PERMITS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GOODS AND SERVICES ESTABLISHMENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MIXED-USE RESIDENTIAL.

THE MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND OTHER SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED. IT'S A TRANSITION FROM C ÃFOUR TO THE ESTABLISHED R ÃFOR USE TO THE EAST AND SOUTH. THIS TRACK HAS RESERVED THE PORTION OF MLK PARKWAY FRONTAGE FOR C4 TO CATER TO THE FUTURE NEEDS NEAR THE INTERCHANGE SUCH AS TRANSIENT SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS, FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS AND AUTOMOBILE SERVICES. THERE'S NO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IDENTIFIED

IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL. >> COUNCILPERSON STREET MEN?

>> THIS IS IN MY WORD TO MAKE WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT MISTER KENDALL SAYS.

[00:55:08]

I KNOW I APPRECIATE IS THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A GREAT EDUCATION FOR THEM TO ASSESSING WHAT WAS GOING TO BE COMING AROUND THEM. WITH THIS BEING IN MY WORD I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS AND I WILL ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS AS WELL THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING ORDINANCE 65? >> ENON WE ARE READY FOR ITEM

9. ORDINANCE 66. >> THIS IS A ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATE WE ARE BRINGING YOU.

THIS IS ONE THAT IS INITIATED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION BACK OVER THE SUMMER TIME.

WITH ME TODAY IS ONE OF MY STAFF MEMBER SARAH COOK WHO IS OUR LONG-RANGE PLANNER.

WHEN WE HIRED FOR THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST TASKS WE GAVE HER TO WORK ON THIS WITH US AND THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. THIS IS BEEN THERE AT LEAST THREE MAJOR VARIATIONS.

WANT TO GIVE YOU THE LONG AND SHORT OF THIS. YOU DO HAVE THE FULL ORDINANCE IN FRONT OF YOU. THERE WAS NOT REALLY A NEED TO RENT I MISS BECAUSE WE ARE REQUESTING A REPEAL AND REPLACE ON CHAPTER 5.6 WHICH IS OUR CURRENT PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT SECTION OF THE CITY ORDINANCE. WE ARE JUST EXPANDING ON A AND REPEALING BILLS: PUTTING IN THE NEW LANGUAGE WHICH IS EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS. WHAT IS A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT? IT GIVES MORE IDEA WHAT THE DEVELOPER WILL DO BUT PROVIDES THE DEVELOPER MORE FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF MUCH LIKE C2 WE ARE NOT QUITE SURE WHERE THE LINE BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE. WE ARE ASKING FOR THIS MANY UNITS IN THIS GENERAL AREA WILL FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY GO LATER. THESE ARE TWO EXAMPLES OF ITEMS YOU COULD SEE HERE. THE BOTTOM LEFT IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WITH PLEASANT VIEW. IT'S ABOUT HALF BUILT AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT POTENTIAL USES OUT THERE. THE YELLOW BEING A SINGLE FAMILY AND THE RED BEING COMMERCIAL. LIVE AND WORK AND THEN ANOTHER USED IN THE CORNER THERE. ON THE RIGHT IS A DIFFERENT EXAMPLE, I'M NOT SURE WHERE I PUT THAT PICTURE OFF THE INTERNET BUT IT SHOWS YOU MORE THE BUILDING LAYOUT EXAMPLE WHERE EACH BUILDING IS CATEGORIZED BY THEIR END USE. IN THE END BUILDINGS MAY NOT EXACTLY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE SHOWING BUT YOU ARE PROVING THE GENERAL CONCEPT OF WHAT THE DEVELOPER BRINGS AND IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION CARRIES OUT THAT PLAN WAS APPROVED.

INNOCENCE OF THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION WHERE THEY WERE IN THEIR OWN SET OF RULES THAT MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT ZONING WHETHER THAT'S FOR USES, SETBACKS, ROAD TYPES AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT NEED BEFORE THEY GET THERE FOR CITY COUNCIL OTHERWISE YOU COME WITH DISAPPROVAL. THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK ON THE FRONT END WITH STAFF TO AVOID GETTING INTO CONTRACT ZONING. A LOT OF THIS IS DONE BEFORE THEY EVEN APPLY SO THEY HAVE TO TALK TO STAFFERS AND IRON OUT THE ISSUES AND THEN THEY COMPLY WITH THEIR PLAN AT THAT POINT IT'S LOCKED IN IT WE GET OTHER DEPARTMENT FEEDBACKS AS WELL. IT OFFERS DEVELOPMENT ON CERTAIN PROPERTIES AND ASK FOR MORE OF A MIXTURE OF USES AT THE POTENTIAL FOR THE MIXTURE OF USES. IT PROVIDES THE CITY COUNCIL MORE UPFRONT KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT COULD BE BUILT THERE AND WILL BE BUILT THERE INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING THIS IS GOING TO BE APARTMENTS. HE WILL PRETTY MUCH KNOW ABOUT WHERE THEY WILL BE WHEN THEY GET OUT THERE AND DO GEOTECHNICAL WORK MAY SHIFT A COUPLE DOZEN FEET BUT FOR THE MOST PART THAT IS WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE LOCKED INTO. IT ALLOWS THE RPC TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER ON THE FRONT AND TO ADDRESS ANY EDGE CONCERNS. IF YOU HAVE A TRANSITION FROM SINGLE-FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY THEY CAN DO A BETTER TRANSITION OF THE SO OTHER MAJOR CHANGES, ELIMINATES CURRENT YOU COULD DO OTHER USES DAY CARE AND OFFICES AND RETAIL, HAS TO BE QUOTE FOR EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE RESIDENTS AND AT LEAST 200 UNITS.

GETS AWAY FROM WHERE WE ARE GOING IN DEVELOPMENT WORLD, YOU MAY BUILD APARTMENT BUILDING AND PUT A CAFE ON THE CORNER.

YOU WOULD WANT THE BUSINESS TO THRIVE.

TAKEN OUT THE REQUIREMENTS, DAY CARES AND CAFES THAT HAVE TO BE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE RESIDENTS. THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE PARKING ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE AND TRUE MIX OPPORTUNITY.

REDUCED OPEN SPACE. THIS IS THE NO. 1 HURDLE TO

[01:00:02]

CURRENTLY REQUIRED 25% OF THE SITE TO BE SET AS OPEN SPACE.

CLUSTER DEVELOPMENTS REQUIRE 15%.

WE WANTS TO ENCOURAGE NOT DISCOURAGE.

WE BROUGHT IT MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT CODES RELY ON IN OTHER SOENS. ACTIVE OPEN SPACE OR TIED TO A CITY OR COUNTY PARK WITHIN A QUARTER MILE VIA SIDEWALK OR TRAIL SYSTEM. ALSO A VERY LARGE STEP DOWN.

EVEN IF IT WASN'T DEVELOPED. COULD BE A CORNFIELD ZONED R 1 NO PLAN. STILL HAD TO STEP BACK THE PROPERTY OVER 200 FEET. IF THEY HAVEN'T DEVELOPED YET.

WE GET TO SET THE SET BACK. IF YOU HAVE IT ZONED R 4 YOU CAN GO UP TO 20 FEET. WE HAVE ALSO CHANGED PARKING REQUIREMENTS. DID NOT CHANGE OVERALL PARKING FOR THE WHOLE CITY. MORE AND MORE SINGLE BEDROOMS NOT TWO OR THREE BEDROOMS. CHANGED IN THE PUD SECTION TO BE BY BEDROOM NOT BY UNIT. REQUIRED TWO PARKING SPACES PER UNIT. IN THE PUD 1.25 PER SINGLE BEDROOM. 1.75 FOR TWO BEDROOM.

OVER 2.25 FOR THREE AND GREATER. ALSO HAVE TO ADD 10% ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR VISITORS, DELIVERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

KREDS DEVELOPERS. TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

THIS WILL BE LARGER SCALE DEVELOPMENTS CAN'T BE MORE THAN 80% DEDICATED TO SINGLE LAND USE.

SINGLE FAMILY, MULTIFAMILY, OFFICE, RETAIL ETC. HAS TO BE A BLEND AND MIX. I OFTEN SAY WE NEED TO STOP DEVELOPING NEIGHBORHOODSES. NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS HAVE AMENITIES, BUSINESSES, OFFICES AND ACTIVE OPEN SPACE THE RESIDENTS DESIRE. THIS ALLOWS FOR MINIMUM OF FIVE UNITS PER ACRE MAX OF 20. GOES THROUGH APPROVAL PROCESS SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE APPROVING AT CITY COUNCIL.

16 UNITS UP TO 20 IF YOU HAPPEN TO DO THAT, LIKELY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT IN THE MEANTIME.

THESE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS REQUIRE 15-20% AND CAN REDUCE BY 5% AGAIN IF THEY PROVIDE ACTIVE OPEN SPACE OR ACCESS.

SHARED PARKING AVAILABLE IF THE ADJACENT ZONE OR VERTICAL USE YOU CAN REDUCE PARKING BY CERTAIN PERCENTAGE, LIKELIHOOD BUSINESS OPEN AT THE SAME TIME THE PEOPLE ARE THERE.

YOU GET TO REDUCE OVERALL PARKING 20%.

TOTAL PARKING FOR OFFICE, TOTAL FOR RESIDENTIAL AND REDUCE BY 20%. WE TOOK THE PORTION OF THE CODE FROM CHATTANOOGA. IT HAS WORKED FOR THEM OVER RECENT YEARS. SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN TESTED AND COMFORTABLE WITH IT. A LOT TO THROW AT YOU THERE.

APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT, I WILL SAY THREE DEVELOPERS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT TO INTERESTED IN SEEING THIS GO FORWARD AND WANT TO USE THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. STEP IN MODERNIZING CODE TO MEET

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. >> COUNCIL PERSON, REYNOLDS, YOU

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> WHEN I TRIED TO READ THIS I GOT LOST. I WOULD LIKE A CLEAN COPY.

COULDN'T FIND THIS OF WHAT WE WILL BE APPROVING.

[01:05:03]

IF YOU REMEMBER BACK TO THE BUDGET SEASON.

REQUESTED MONEY FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

HIRED A CONSULTANT TO TAKE THE NEXT 18 MONTHS AND REDO TO LAND USE PLAN. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE PLAN, WE ARE GOING TO GET A BRAND NEW PLAN ESTABLISH VISION, WHEN AND WHERE AND HOW TO GROW AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS INVOLVED. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, TECHNICAL COMMITTEE INVOLVEMENT. BRAND NEW PLAN.

IT WILL BE OUR GUIDE TO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

THAT PLAN WILL DO A ZONING CODE ANA ANALYSIS. THESE ARE THE IMMEDIATE THINGS YOU NEED TO ADDRESS. I BELIEVE AFTER TWO YEARS, WE'LL BE IN THE OVERHAUL CODE PHASE. GETTING OUTSIDE CONSULTANT.

AMOUNT OF LIFTING SO GREAT. SAME LANGUAGE, SAME NUMBERING SCHEME. THAT IS MY LONG-TERM FIVE-YEAR GOAL. ESTABLISH VISION.

ESTABLISH GOALS. THEN MAKE SURE THE CODE CAN GET

COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> NEW LOU OF THE FACT NAACP ADDRESSED US, I WOULD LIKE TO

[01:20:04]

MUST BE BASED ON THE CENSUS ON 2020 CENSUS, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> ITEM 1. FAIR AMOUNT OF CONVERSATION CHANGES WE ARE MAKING TO THE SIGN ORDNANCE.

I ASKED DAVID SMITH TO COME FORWARD BRIEFLY ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARE IN THIS POLITICAL SEASON WHERE SIGNS ARE EVER PRESENT.

MR. SMITH, WALK US THROUGH THIS ORDNANCE AND ANSWER QUESTIONS.

>> I HAVE TO PREFACE WHY WE ARE DOING THIS.

IN 2008 -- WE DON'T KNOW, DISCOVERED BY AUDIT, BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION. REPEAL ENTIRE SECTION.

ONLY LANGUAGE ADDED JUST THAT TABLE.

LANGUAGE WE ARE DISCUSSING ALREADY THERE.

I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE THE HAPPENED OUT AND SEEN OUR INTERNAL POLICY. ETERNAL POLICY DIFFERS FROM THE LAW. LANCE MAY WANT TO WAIT ON THAT.

TREMENDOUS ISSUE HOW WE GOVERN SIGNAGE.

WE DO MOST OF IT VIA POLICY. ALL SIGNS COST $25.

EXCLUSION THAT SPOKE TO SIGNS AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS FREE OF CHARGE. WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT MOVED UP.

THAT WENT FORWARD AND TRANSPARENT.

AS IT PERTAINS TO THE ELECTION, ALL OF THOSE WILL BE FREE.

THAT IS WHEN THE FEES COME INTO FOLD ON PROPERTIES.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE OWNER PERMISSION?

>> THANK YOU MR. SMITH. ANY QUESTIONS?

>> COUNCIL PERSON REYNOLDS? >> CURIOUS WHY WE DON'T PUT IT IN THE ORDNANCE? WHY DO WE SEPARATE IT OUT?

>> I WILL HAVE TO DEFER TO LEGAL?

>> MR. BAKER? IT IS COMPLICATED.

>> SORRY, NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.

>> SO THE ORDNANCES THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SIGNAGE, IF IT IS 4X4 YOU DON'T HAVE TO. WHY ISN'T INTERNAL PART OF THE THE ORDNANCE. EVENTUALLY THEY COULD CHANGE IT

AND ALL PAY FOR THE SIGNS? >> EXCELLENT QUESTION, YOU COULD PUT IT IN THE ORDNANCE. THING I WANT YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND, THERE HAS BEEN LAW FROM CONSTITUTIONAL STANDPOINT IS INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED. PROBABLY EVEN MORE COMPLICATED THAN -- LAW. THERE IS NOW PENDING BEFORE THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT A CASE THAT DEALS WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND SIGN LAW. REGULATION OF SIGNAGE.

IT IS GOING TO EFFECT A SEA CHANGE IN CONSTITUTIONAL SIGN LAW. I HAVE HAD CONFERENCES WITH THE MAYOR AND DAVID. WE EXPECT A DECISION TO COME DOWN PROBABLY NEXT JUNE. I HEARD MR. TENDELL.

WE HAVE A LONG-RANGE PLAN THE WHOLE ZONING CODE.

PROBABLY GOING TO THANK IT CHAPTER BY CHAPTER.

I WOULD TOTALLY AGREE WITH ALL OF THAT WITH THIS ONE CAVEAT.

PROBABLY, MAYBE IN THE SPRING, WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT OUR OVERALL SIGN LAW. I HAVE SOME CONCERNS.

I DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS BEYOND THAT.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE A ROAD MAP. THERE COULD BE SOME PROBLEMS WITH IT. AFTER THAT SUPREME COURT CASE

[01:25:01]

>> SO I ASSUME IT IS A CARVE OUT 4X4 IS A CARVE OUT.

IF I AM A BUSINESS THEN HARVEY TO PAY.

>> NOW YOU ARE GETTING INTO STUFF I DON'T WANT TO TALK

ABOUT. >> OKAY.

>> YOU CANNOT DISCRIMINATE OR REGULATE BASED ON THE CONTENT OF THE MESSAGE. YOU CAN ONLY REGULATE BASED ON SIZE, MATERIAL, THAT SORT OF STUFF.

IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT PROPORTS TO MAKE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN WHAT THE MESSAGE IS, IT IS CONSTITUTIONALLY SUSPECT.

THAT IS ALL I WANT TO SAY AT THIS POINT.

>> OKAY. BUT IF ANY COUNCILMEMBER WANTS ME TO GIVE YOU A FULL LEGAL ANALYSIS OPINION, COME SEE ME, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. I DON'T WANT TO TELEGRAPH HOW TO

FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST US. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT.

COUNCIL PERSON? >> TO BE FAIR, THE WAY WE HAVE IT NOW WILL GET US THROUGH. THE WAY WE HAVE IT NOW WILL GET US THROUGH. ELECTION TIME IS COMING.

COMPANIES HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO LET THEM PUT A SIGN.

>> WITH RESPECT TO ELECTION SIGNS, PUBLISHED THROUGH THE ELECTION SYSTEM. BROADCASTS EQUALLY TO EVERYBODY.

>> OKAY, OKAY. >> WHAT I AM TELLING YOU IS IT COULD BE A PROBLEM TO MAKE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT TYPES -- BETWEEN SIGNAGE BASED ON WHAT THE SIGN SAYS VENLT FOR EXAMPLE, BETWEEN A REAL ESTATE SIGN AND POLITICAL SIGN.

WE HAVE A POLICY THAT COVERS ELECTIONS ANYBODY RUNNING ELECTION. THEN OUR CODE IS EXCLUDING?

>> WE MAY WANT TO -- >> POLICY?

>> THE WAY THIS STARTED OUT WAS, WE WANTED TO FIX WHAT WAS BASICALLY AN ER ROR. WE DON'T WANT TO CREATE POTENTIAL LEGAL PROBLEMS FOR THE CITY.

THEN WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THESE LARGER U ISSUES.

I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE POINT YOU MAKE AND VALID POINTED, THERE ARE OTHER POTENTIAL ISSUES. WHETHER YOU WANT TO TRY TO BITE THAT OFF NOW WOULD MEAN YOU WOULD NEED TO POSTPONE CURRENT LEGISLATION. THAT LEAVES US WITH THE CODE COMPANY LEFT THE TABLE OUT. WE WANT TO FIX THAT PROBLEM.

>> CORRECT. >> MY ADVICE APPROVE LEGISLATION NOW TO FIX THAT TO ME IS A MUCH SMALLER PROBLEM.

THEN IN THE SPRING, WE LOOK AT A MUCH BROADER REVIEW OF THE WHOLE ALL THE PROVISIONS OF ZONING CODE THAT DEAL WITH SIGNAGE.

PROBABLY NEXT JUNE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO A DEFINITIVE PEACE OF LEGISLATION. THAT CASE DEALS WITH MUNICIPAL LEGISLATION OF SIGNAGE. SPECIFICALLY WITH ISSUES BASED

[01:30:09]

FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS WHAT HAS BEEN TRADITIONALLY SEEN OF COURSE YOU CAN MAKE THAT DISTINCTION.

NOW THE PEOPLE THAT SPECIALIZE IN THIS LAW, ALL THE PUNDITS, WE

MAY HAVE A HUGE CHANGE. >> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON BUTTLER. >> THIS IS SIMILAR, YOU ARE TALKING FEDERAL, NOT JUST TENNESSEE SUPREME COURT?

>> YES. UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

>> THANK YOU MR. SMITH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING

[4) FINANCE COMMITTEE (Part 1 of 2)]

COULD WE MOVE THAT TO THE END OF THE AGENDA? THAT WAY WE'LL GET THROUGH THE BALL OF OUR BUSINESS AND FOLKS CAN LEAVE AND DON'T NEED TO COME BACK FOR ADJOURNMENT.

LET ME CALL ON YOU FOR ITEM 2, CHAIRPERSON STREETMAN.

>> RESOLUTION 35, 2021-22 AUTHORIZE MAYOR TO SIGN PROPOSAL WITH TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

RECOGNIZED. >> OKAY.

I TRIED TO SEE THE MAP. I FAILED.

CAN YOU GIVE AN OVERVIEW WHAT IT IS DOING THERE?

>> I CAN. I'LL CALL ON MR. SHEPHERD OR MR. CALLEN IF YOU WOULD GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW WHAT THE STATE IS ASKING US TO DO. GOOD TO SEE YOU MR. SHEPHERD.

>> GOOD TO BE HERE. THERE IS GOING TO BE A SIGNAL AT 12 OAKS UPGRADING ALL THE SCHOOL ZONE SYSTEM ALONG THAT.

>> IT REFERENCED TO NEED MORE. >> THEY PUT TON THE --

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, FULL REPORT THURSDAY.

[10) NEW BUSINESS]

[01:35:02]

>> THANK YOU, TRANSCRIPTION MAY PRO TEMPORE NOT HERE.

NOW UNDER NEW BUSINESS. RESOLUTION 58, 2021-22.

COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER IS THIS >> THANK YOU, MAYOR, I WROTE THIS. THIS ITEM REFERRED TO THE LEGISLATIVE LIAISON COMMITTEE PER OUR LAWS SHOULD HAVE COME BACK AFTER 30 DAYS. AS THE COMMITTEE DID NOT CHOOSE TO ADD IT TO THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA IN FAIRNESS THERE WAS ITEM OF INTEREST ABOUT PUTTING CANNABIS DECRIMINALIZATION TO A REFERENDUM. THIS DID NOT MAKE IT ON TO THAT AGENDA. I ELECTED TO BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR A FINAL VOTE. DID NOT FIND IT PRUDENT.

I WENT STRAIGHT TO MR. BAKER. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I CALL YOU BY YOUR FIRST NAME, MR. BAKER AND LISA TO PUT THIS BACK ON THE AGENDA. I DIDN'T FIND IT PRU PRUDENT.

THIS RESOLUTION IS NOT TOOTHLESS.

MANY CARRY WEIGHT INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS, ZONING REAPPLICATIONS AND LAST MONTH WE EVEN AUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS HOW THE AIRPORT BOARD TERM LIMITS.

THESE THINGS ARE ALL ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH RESOLUTIONS ON THIS BODY. THAT SAID, I AM HUMBLY ASKING -- WHEN MAKING ARGUMENTS AGAINST RESOLUTIONS THEY DISAGREE WITH S. EVEN RESOLUTIONS THAT ESTABLISH SENSE OF COUNCIL CARRY THE WEIGHT OF OUR POSITIONS AND SHOULD NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY EVER.

IT REQUESTS THAT SIMPLE POSSESSION AND CASUAL EXCHANGE LOWEST LEVEL LAW ENFORCEMENT PRIORITY.

AS PER CRITICISMS OF MY COLLEAGUES, I SAT DOWN WITH CHIEF. OUT OF RESPECT TO HIS EXPER SEIZE AND POSITION. HOWEVER, I TOLD HIM THIS, TOO, I DO STILL CONSIDER IT AN ACT OF CORRUPTION TO ASK ENFORCEMENT BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT TO LEGISLATE.

OUR NATION'S ENTIRE STRUCTURE RELIES ON SEPARATION OF POWERS.

I WANTED TO BRING -- I WANTED TO WAIT TO BRING THIS BACK, DA RESIGNED AND I POINTED A NEW DA. THAT IS WHY I WAITED UNTIL NOW.

THAT POSITION IS ON THE BALLOT 2022.

PUBLIC MIGHT WANT TO KNOW WHERE THOSE CANDIDATES STAND.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT POLITICS. IT IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

THE PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW WHERE THEIR SERVANTS STAND.

I WILL NOT STOP SPEAKING UP FOR THAT ON THIS BODY.

LASTLY, THIS RESOLUTION SETS A PRECEDENCE LEGISLATORS HAVE ASKED FOR. THIS IS HOW WE EFFECT CHANGE AT THE STATE LEVEL. YES, THAT IS OUR JOB.

DECISIONS MADE IN THE STATE HOUSE EFFECT EVERYDAY LIFE OF CLARKSVILLEIANS. SOMETHING ABOVE OUR HEADS DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T BEAR TO BE THEIR VOICE.

I DO THIS ALL THE TIME I SHOOT E-MAILS WHERE THEY NEED TO GO.

ONE MORE TIME FOR POSTERITY SAKE, THIS IS THE TOOL WE HAVE TO EFFECT CHANGE FROM OUR LEVEL. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON EVANS. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I WANT TO ECHO, I WAS ON THE COMMITTEE, I WAS FOR THIS BEING SENT UP TO STATE AND CLARKSVILLE SUPPORT OF THIS RESOLUTION.

REALITY IS IS THAT CANNABIS DOES NOT CAUSE MORE HARM THAN TOBACCO OR ALCOHOL AND THOSE THINGS ARE REGULATED.

SORRY. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN ON THIS

[01:40:04]

I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT RESOLUTIONS.

I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP PUSHING THE STATE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD,

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON ZACHARIAS YOU

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I APPLAUD THE -- I WANT TO POINT OUT STATISTICS CITED IN THE RESOLUTION ARE NATIONAL STATISTICS.

I DON'T BELIEVE THE SPONSOR OR ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL IS SUGGESTING OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE GUILTY OF AP APPLYING THESE LAWS DISPROPORTIONATELY.

SCHEDULE 1 DRUG. RESERVED FOR DRUGS WITH NO MEDICAL USE IS OUTDATED. I AM ALSO AWARE MARIJUANA HAS RACIST ORIGINS. I AM CONFLICTED ABOUT THIS RESOLUTION. I WHOLLY SUPPORT THE ENDS THIS RESOLUTION SEEKS TO ACHIEVE BUT NOT SURE ABOUT THE MEANS.

WHEN A LEGISLATIVE BODY SEEKS TO INFLUENCE ACTIONS OF -- WE START TO BLUR THE LINES. I AT NOT SURE IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE A REQUEST OF THE EXECUTIVE.

SPONSOR HAS ABILITY TO ADDRESS -- I WOULD LIKE TO REACH OUT TO CHIEF COCK RIL TO SEE WHAT IMPACT THIS RESOLUTION WOULD HAVE ON ENFORCEMENT POLICY TO INCLUDE SECOND ORDEFFECTS.

I DO WHOLLY SUPPORT WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

>> COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR THE SPONSOR.

[LAUGHTER]. SO THE VERY FIRST QUESTION YOU SAID YOU TALKED ABOUT TO CHIEF CCOCKRELL HOW DID THE DISCUSSIO

GO? >> LET ME PREFACE SAYING THIS WAS SIX MONTHS AGO NOW. ESSENTIALLY, WE HAD A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT MY WARD IN PARTICULAR BEING RIGHT BY WALMART AND HOTELS AND DRUG ACTIVITY.

WE HAD A TALK ABOUT DRUGS THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT.

I THINK IT WAS FENTANYL WE SPOKE OF MOSTLY.

LAST TIME I SAID WHAT HE SAID TO ME, I THINK I SAID IT WRONG.

HE WAS LIKE HOLD UP. LET ME TRY TO DO THIS CORRECTLY THIS TIME. TYPICALLY WHEN CANNABIS CHARGES ARE DOLED OUT IN CLARKSVILLE IT IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH SOMETHING ELSE. THAT MADE ME HAPPY THAT ANSWER.

WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT KIND OF STUFF.

MOSTLY BIGGER, BADDER DRUGS. DOES THAT ANSWER?

>> YOU SAID YOU HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HIM AND SPOKE ABOUT FENTANYL. DOES OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FEEL LIKE THEY NEED TO ENFORCE THIS? ENFORCE PICKING UP SOMEBODY WITH

MARIJUANA OR NOT. >> THE ANSWER WAS TYPICALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS IT IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANOTHER CHARGE.

>> SO IT WASN'T A STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWER.

>> AMANDA, I ALSO DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR HIM --

>> CAN HE SPEAK? >> ARE WE PUTTING HIM ON THE SPOT IF HE SPEAKS -- I DO UNDERSTAND.

LET ME TELL YOU WHY I AM SPEAKING ABOUT THIS.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SEPARATION OF POWERS, RIGHT? LEGISLATIVE BODY MAKES LAWS PERIOD.

THE POLICE PERIOD ENFORCE WHATEVER LAWS ARE MADE.

[01:45:01]

I AM NOT SAYING IT IS TOOTHLESS, I DO SUPPORT IT.

WHAT I AM ASKING IS, IF WE ARE GOING TO PUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS, HOW DOES THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FEEL? WILL THEY CONSIDER -- WILL THEY CONTINUE TO ENFORCE IT NORMAL

WAYS? >> AGAIN IF WE WANT TO HAVE HIM COME UP, THAT IS FINE. THEY ARE GOING TO UPHOLD THE

LAWS THAT ARE IN PLACE. >> WOULD THAT PUT YOU TOO MUCH

ON THE SPOT? >> I DON'T WANT TO TALK LIKE YOU

ARE NOT IN THE ROOM, SIR? >> THAT IS ALL RIGHT, SIR.

WHAT IS THE QUESTION? >> [LAUGHTER].

>> MY UNDERSTANDING WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE STATE PUT A RULE, MARIJUANA WOULD BE DECRIMINALIZED.

MY QUESTION IS: THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER YOU

ENFORCE IT? >> YES, MA'AM.

WE ARE OBLIGATED TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

SO IS THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. ASSUME KNOWING TWO OF THE THREE CANDIDATES SEEKING THAT POSITION ASSUME THEY WOULD BE THE SAME POSITION THEY ARE OBLIGATED TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

RECENTLY, DISTRICT WILL ENFORCE THE LAW, IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO, THEY CAN REPLACE WITH A PRO TEMPORE SO THEY DON'T AVOID WHAT LAWS ON THE BOOKS. WE DON'T CHOOSE WHAT LAWS ARE

GOOD/BAD. >> ENFORCE 'EM.

SO IT CAN PUSH TO THE STATE, CORRECT? WE CAN SAY HERE IN CLARKSVILLE WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MARIJUANA BE DECRIMINALIZED. LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS NOT REACHED OUT TO. THEY HAVE TO UPHOLD THE STATE LAWS. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE WE SEND THESE THINGS UP TO THE STATE WE WANT TO SEE CHANGED. AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK?

>> THANK YOU. CHIEF.

COUNCIL PERSON RICHMOND, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> YOU MAYBE SEATED, CHIEF.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER.

A LOT TO GRAB YOUR HEAD AROUND. WE ARE SAYING WE ARE NOT PUTTING ANYTHING INTO LAW HERE. WE ARE MOVING THIS AS A RESOLUTION, CITY OF CLARKSVILLE IN SUPPORT OF THIS.

MY QUESTION IS AT THAT POINT, IF THIS RESOLUTION SUCCEEDS.

HOW MANY OTHER MUNICIPALITIES TO IMPACT WHAT THE SPONSOR IS AFTER? MAY NOT KNOW THAT INFORMATION.

ORGANIZATION PORTION PART A. I SEE MR. BAKER APPROACHING.

WHEN WOULD THIS COME BACK ON THE TABLE? LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ISN'T UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS DOES.

LOOK AT THE VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH UNDER NOW THEREFORES.

WHAT THAT SAYS IS, EXPRESSING SENSE OF THE COUNCIL IN OPPOSITION TO CRIMINALIZATION OF MARIJUANA AND IT GOES ON TO SAY THAT IT EXPRESSES ITS DESIRE ENFORCEMENT FOR CRIMINAL LAYS, HERE IS THE KEY PART: SHOULD BE THE LOWEST ENFORCEMENT PRIORITY FOR CPD. IF YOU PASS THIS, THAT FIRST PARAGRAPH HAH YOU ARE DOING IS GIVING POLICY GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE NOT TO NOT ENFORCE THE LAW, NOT BY PARAGRAPH ONE, BUT TO MAKE CHARGES OF SIMPLE POSSESSION

[01:50:06]

THAT IS ALL PARAGRAPH 3 DECIDES. IT REQUESTS LOCAL DELEGATION SPECIFICALLY NOT JUST GENERAL ASSEMBLY GENERALLY.

OUR LOCAL DELEGATION TO WORK TO INTRODUCE AND PROMOTE SUCH LEGISLATION AND ACTIVELY WORK TO GET THAT LEGISLATION APPROVED.

IF YOU PASS THIS OR NOT ENTIRELY UP TO THEM.

>> COUNCIL PERSON, RICHMOND DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?

>> A PORTION. HOW LONG THE TIMELINE.

>> IF THIS PASSES, RESOLUTION PASSES FIRST READING, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THEN IS ETHER I OR THE CITY CLERK WOULD FORWARD A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION FINAL PASSAGE FORM SIGNED BY THE MAYOR.

WE WOULD SEND IT ON THROUGH MEMBERS OF LOCAL DELEGATION.

THIS HAS BEEN PASSED. CITY COUNCIL WOULD ASK YOU TO PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO PARAGRAPH THREE.

PROBABLY SEND IT TO THE GOVERNOR.

IF THEY CHOSE TO ACT ON IT, THEY WOULD PRESENT THE BILL JANUARY, START IN JANUARY. THEY COULD INTRODUCE A BILL TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA. COMMITTEE SYSTEM.

APPROVED, SHOT DOWN, KILLED IN COMMITTEE.

BLACK HOLE COMMITTEE FOR FURTHER STUDY.

MIGHT GET AN ANSWER SOME TIME IN THE SPRING OR SIT ON IT AND NOT

GET AN ANSWER THIS NEXT YEAR. >> THANK YOU.

>> GO AHEAD COUNCIL PERSON, RICHMOND.

>> ONLY CHALLENGE I HAVE, I FEEL LIKE I AM FLYING BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS. COMMITTEE IS A PLACE WHERE I CAN ASK QUESTION. COMMITTEE IS A PLACE I CAN GET CHIEF COCKRELL AND REST OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE I HAVE BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND LOCAL ORDNANCES.

I UNDERSTAND FENTANYL BETTER BECAUSE OF THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS. FOR ME, I DO SUPPORT.

I THOUGHT AT IT IF I WAS A YOUNG MAN, WOULD I WANT TO BE HELD TO

[01:55:04]

I WOULDN'T WANT THAT FOR ANYONE REGARDLESS OF RACE.

AS MUCH AS I WANT TO SUPPORT IT, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE.

THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE PLACE TO DO IT.

UP IN THE AIR DO MORE THINKING ABOUT IT.

I WANT TO LET THE SPONSOR KNOW THAT IS WHERE I STAND I FEEL

UNEASY VOTING YES OR NO. >> COUNCILMEMBER PERSON

STREETMAN. >> MARIJUANA IS A SCHEDULED 6 DRUG IN TENNESSEE LAW. SOME STATES SCHEDULE ONE.

IN TENNESSEE ONE ARE HARD DRUGS, COCAINE, METH.

TENNESSEE LAW. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I AM GOING TO HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CHIEF.

I KNOW WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS THE WHOLE INTENT NO. 3.

MR. BAKER POINTED OUT, WE HAVE NO. 1 IN HERE ADDRESSES POSSIBLE POLICY CHANGE. IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO THE OTHER SIDE, CITY LOCATED IN A COUNTY. WE HAVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. AS WELL.

THEY HAVE JURISDICTION IN CITY OF CLARKSVILLE, CORRECT?

>> YES. I WOULD THINK THE SHERIFF WOULD HAVE HIS DEPUTIES FOLLOW L THE LETTER OF THE LAW, CORRECT?

>> SO ASKING YOU GUYS TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THAN ANY OTHER DEPARTMENT, COULD THAT CREATE ANY CONFUSION FOR THE

CITIZENS IN OUR COMMUNITY. >> ALL FUNNELS THROUGH THE

DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. >> OKAY.

I WORRY IF WE ARE ASKING DIFFERENT ONES TO CHOOSE WHICH LAWS TO ENFORCE OR NOT ENFORCE OR LOOK AT DIFFERENTLY ASKING OUR DA TO CHOOSE WHICH LAWS THEY ENFORCE.

>> I HAVE ONE QUICK FOR THE CHIEF.

OVERARCHING QUESTIONS KIND OF WHAT I THINK COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN WAS SPEAKING TO, WILL THIS EFFECT THE MORAL OF THE POLICE FORCE? IF THIS IS PASSED WILL IT EFFECT

THE MORAL OF YOUR -- OVERALL. >> SPECIFIC TO IT BEING THE

LOWEST PRIORITY? >> IS IT GOING TO EFFECT THE

MORAL? >> WE DEAL WITH SHOPLIFTING 10 TIMES MORE THAN LOW LEVEL MARIJUANA.

AGAIN, IT IS A PRODUCT OF MOST LIK LIKELY PRIMARY OFFENSE. MOST ARRESTS ARE ANOTHER REASON FOR THE ARREST. I AM NOT GOING TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS PODIUM, THERE IS GUN VIOLENCE BECAUSE OF THE SALE OF

MARIJUANA. >> WHY DID YOU NOT CONSIDER USING SAME LANGUAGE NO. 1 AS NO. 2, ASKING THAT THE DA MAKE IT THEIR LOWEST PRIORITY RATHER THAN NOT ENFORCE?

>> I AM COOL -- WE HAVE BEEN STEWING ON THIS NINE MONTHS.

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT THAN NINE MONTHS AGO.

[02:00:02]

THIS RUINS LIVES. >> AS I SPONSOR I ASKED WHAT IS YOUR PREFERENCE TAKE OUT NO. 2 OR CHANGE LANGUAGE TO MAKE IT

LOWEST PRIORITY? >> MY OPINION WHATEVER THIS BODY IS MOST COMFORTABLE WITH. THIS ISN'T MY RESOLUTION, IT IS

OURS. >> THAT IS ALL I HAVE, THANK

YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON, ALLEN, YOU

ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THAT IS WHERE I WAS GOING WITH IT. ALSO REQUEST IT TO MAKE IT LOWEST PRIORITY. POLICE DEPARTMENT, I UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE NOT -- WE DON'T HAVE, WE CAN'T ASK THEM FOR STUFF.

WE CAN ONLY ASK OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR STUFF.

REQUEST FOR LOWEST PROSECUTING. >> YES.

I WILL WORK WITH ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO MASSAGE THE LANGUAGE, MODIFY, AMENDMENT IT. ONLY THING I WOULD ASK YOU TO KEEP IN MIND, PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF THE CHIEF AND POLICE OFFICER COP ON THE BEAT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN WE TELL THE CHIEF, MAKE THIS A LOW PRIORITY? WHEN THEY RESPOND TO TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ARREST SOMEBODY FOR DUI. MARIJUANA IN THE CAR, FORGET ABOUT IT. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALL, THEY ARE GOING TO SEARCH POCKETS. WITH REGARD TO THE DA MAKES MORE SENSE -- DA IS THE ONE THAT MAKES THE FINAL DECISION ABOUT WHAT THE CHARGE. ULTIMATELY DECIDED BY THE DA.

DA, WE WANT YOU TO MAKE IT A LOW PRIORITY.

UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER SERIOUS CHARGES, WE ARE NOT GOING TO FOOL WITH MARIJUANA. I WANT ASSISTANT DA'S TO BACK OFF. MAKE IT A LOW PRIORITY.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN EXACTLY? CHIEF CAN COME UP WITH GUIDELINES. IF YOU DON'T DEFINE IT YOURSELF, YOU ARE PUTTING HIM IN A DIFFICULT POSITION I WOULD SUGGEST. MAY WANT TO CONSIDER AS A POSSIBILITY. SOMETIMES I THINK ONE WAY AND OTHER TIMES ANOTHER. NO. 3 IS THE KEY THAT IS WHAT WILL ACHIEVE THE SPONSORS ULTIMATE GOAL.

WHICH IS DECRIMINALIZATION OF SIMPLE POSSESSION.

>> SOUNDS TO ME MAYBE IT IS NOT A PRIORITY SO MAYBE WITH THIS OBJECT TO TAKE OUT NO. 1, CHANGE NO. 2, KEEP NO. 3?

>> I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS FROM WHAT YOU HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT.

[02:05:09]

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCILMEMBER REYNOLDS? >> I WAS GOING TO TELL LANCE, I WAS TOO FAR DOWN TO LINE. HERE I AM TODAY.

>> OKAY. COUNCIL PERSON BUTLER, YOU HAD

YOUR LIGHT ON? >> COUNCIL PERSON HOLLEMAN?

>> IF WE PASS THIS THERE IS NO LAW CHANGE.

WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY. QUESTION TO THE SPONSOR IS, IF THIS PASSES, DO YOU ACTUALLY EXPECT ANYTHING TO CHANGE?

>> YES, I HAVE SPOKEN TO LEGISLATORS OR SPOKEN TO I HAVE SAID TO LEGISLATORS, WHAT DO WE DO TO CHANGE THIS? WHAT WE NEED IS FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES TO PROVE WE HAVE SUPPORT AT THAT LEVEL. I HAVE TALKED ABOUT TO PEOPLE UP THERE AND SPOKEN TO ORGANIZATIONS AND LOBBYISTS THAT HAVE SPOKEN TO LEGISLATORS UP AT THAT LEVEL.

I THINK THIS IS HOW WE CAN HAVE THAT VOICE.

>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? COUNCIL PERSON BUTTLER?

>> THAT WASN'T AS BAD AS I EXPECTED.

THANK YOU EVERYONE. LIKE I SAID, I HAVE BEEN ON A TANGENT ABOUT THIS FROM THE GET GO SINCE SOMEONE SAT ME DOWN AND SAID THIS IS WHAT THE STATE HOUSE NEEDS IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. I THINK IT IS CRAZY IRONIC WE BOTH WENT FOR SEPARATION OF POWERS.

AGAIN IT IS JUST THIS IS -- RESPECT YOUR FLYING BY THE SEAT OF THE PANTS. AGAIN THIS IS NINE MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN STEWING IN THIS. I DO DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE WHATEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.

THE DA THING, I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT.

I APPRECIATE MR. BAKER POINTING OUT THEORETICALLY, WE COULD -- NASHVILLE DID THIS. WE COULD PASS AN ORDNANCE TELLING THE POLICE NOT TO ARREST PEOPLE FOR CANNABIS.

THEN IT WOULD GO TO THE STATE UNTIL THE STATE CAME DOWN AND STOPPED US. I HAVE CHOSEN A DIFFERENT PATH FOR A PURPOSE. I HAVE A BETTER PURPOSE THAN

KICK UP A FUSS. >> I BELIEVE THERE WAS LEGISLATION OR TENNESSEE AG'S OPINION ALREADY COME OUT.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CANNOT ARE PRE-EMPTED FROM PASSING LAWS.

>> FROM DECRIMINALIZE. IT ASKS TO MAKE IT A LOW

PRIORITY. >> YOU ARE CORRECT IN THAT.

THIS IS MORE OF A PRECEDENCE. PRECEDENCE MATTERS WHICH IS WHY I AM STOP CALLING OUR RESOLUTIONS TOOTHLESS.

I THINK THAT IS BASICALLY ALL I HAVE.

>> LET ME ADD IT IS A PROBLEM IN MY VIEW FOR THE OFFICER AT THE POINTY END WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD SO TO SPEAK TO SAY WE DON'T WANT YOU TO ARREST PEOPLE FOR SIMPLE POSSESSION CASUAL EXCHANGE. WE WANT THAT TO BE A LOW, LOW, LOW PRIORITY. THAT OFFICER TAKEN AN OATH TO

ENFORCE THE LAW. >> MORAL DILEMMA.

MAKES SENSE TO ME. LIKE I SAID MASSAGE IT,

[02:10:01]

APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION WE HAVE.

I WANT TO REITERATE SO IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF THE OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE CITY. THAT IS ALL I HAVE, THANK YOU,

MAYOR. >> THANK YOU.

COUNCIL PERSON EVANS? >> YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT

>> YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU.

[INAUDIBLE] >> IF ANYBODY WHO HAS AMENDMENTS, WOULD YOU PLEASE HAVE THEM READY BY THURSDAY OUT OF RESPECT FOR EVERYBODY'S TIME. I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD TAKE A

WHILE IF WE DID IT ON THE FLOOR. >> IN WRITING, THANK YOU.

COUNCIL PERSON RICHMOND. >> YOU MADE A STATEMENT, I GET IT STRICTER CHARGES OR MAYBE DATA STATISTICS.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DRUG LAW EXCEPT IT IS ALL LEGAL.

I GREW UP WET BEHIND THE RULES, SO TO SPEAK.

IF YOU COULD GIVE US SOME SORT OF DATA THAT WOULD HELP SUPPORT SOME UNDERSTANDING WHAT I AM STANDING BEHIND, GREATLY

APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU.

WE ARE NOW READY FOR MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS.

COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED?

>> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

I ASKED THESE QUESTIONS IN E-MAIL.

I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. RECEIVED STANDING COMMITTEES COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. BECOME WHEN WE, LOOKED AT THE STANDING COMMITTEES THEY WOULD BE FIVE MEMBERS AND THEY WOULD BE DIVERSE. I SENT TWO E-MAILS.

DEFINITELY FINANCE COMMITTEE. WE HAVE THREE WHITE MALES AND ALL THREE ON FINANCE COMMITTEE. ALSO WHERE IS THE DIVERSITY IN THE LEADERSHIP? THE CHAIRS OF THOSE COMMITTEES.

SAME FOUR CHAIRS FOR ALL THE COMMITTEES.

I NEED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION IN A PUBLIC FORUM.

I TRIED TO DO THIS DISCRETELY, I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT.

>> COMMITTEES WILL BE DIVERSE AT SOME TIMES.

ALWAYS LOOKING TO HAVE DIVERSITY IN TERMS OF GENDER, RACE, BACKGROUND, INTEREST, WORK SCHEDULES.

WE WILL BE RESHUFFLING COMMITTEES IN JULY WE HOPE.

THERE WILL BE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE DIVERSITY

ON SOME OF THE COMMITTEES. >> MAYOR YOU SAY THAT, BUT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ONLY CHANGED BY TWO PEOPLE.

ONE OF THEM LEFT -- ONE OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBER HOLY SPIRIT LEFT MR. EX FROM WARD FIVE. ONLY OTHER PERSON THAT CHANGED MISS REYNOLDS CHANGED. THAT IS THE ONLY COMMITTEE THAT

STAYED LIKE THAT MAYOR. >> OKAY.

SO NOTED. >> IT WOULD BE MY REQUEST THAT THOSE COMMITTEES CHANGE AND MORE DIVERSE.

AS I SAID THREE WHITE MALES ON THIS COUNCIL.

ALL THREE OF THEM ARE ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

THAT IS NOT DIVERSITY, SIR, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON, HOLLEMAN YOU ARE RICK -- RECOGNIZED.

>> PICKING APPOINTMENTS, MAYOR PRO TEMPORE THAT IS PRETTY CRAZY. SPEAKING FROM A POSITION OF NOT GETTING THE POSITION IN YOUR HEART YOU WANT, WE ALL HAVE TO REALIZE THIS IS WHERE WE ARE AT THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO WORK AS A TEAM. WE DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT WE WANT. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE AT.

[02:15:01]

>> COUNCIL PERSON, REYNOLDS? >> I ALSO SENT AN E-MAIL FULL DISCLOSURE DISCUSSING LACK OF DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION FOR COMMITTEES. I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE DIVERSITY, INCLUSION ARE INTENTIONAL.

ONLY WAY THEY WERE ASSIGNED, INTENTIONALLY INCLUSIVE.

INTENTIONAL INCLUSIVE OF CERTAIN MEMBERS.

I AM -- I SUPPORT WHAT COUNCIL PERSON WANDA ALLEN SAID.

I WOULD LIKE THAT YOU RETHINK THESE.

I SAID IN THE E-MAIL AND SAY THIS TO THE PUBLIC, WE HAVE FOUR PEOPLE RUNNING SIX COMMITTEES, TWO OF THEM BOTH WHITE PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT 72% OF A POPULATION ALL WHITE.

SO THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT DIVERSE REPRESENTATION.

NOT ONLY FROM THIS CITY COUNCIL BUT FROM OUR COMMUNITY.

I ASK RESPECTFULLY YOU RECONSIDER APPLY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION WHEN YOU MAKE THESE CHOICES, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON, BUTLER? YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. SINCE EVERYONE ELSE IS KICKING UP TO DUST. I SENT OUT AN E-MAIL.

I WILL SEND IT TO YOU. I HAVE ALSO DISCUSSED THIS WITH MY COLLEAGUES IN HOPES OF MAKING MYSELF FEEL BETTER, THAT DID NOT WORK. I ACTUALLY AM DISAPPOINTED MORE THAN ANYTHING. WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE, I UNDERSTOOD WE COULDN'T GO STRAIGHT INTO A CHAIRMAN POSITION WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING.

I AM NOT SAYING WE KNOW A LOT OF WHAT WE ARE DOING YET.

WE HAVE AN ELECTION NEXT YEAR AND COULD BE ENTIRELY BRAND NEW COUNCIL. IT IS LIKE AT THAT POINT -- I DON'T WISH THAT ON YOU GUYS, AT THAT POINT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PICK SENIORS AND PUT THEM IN THE POSITIONS.

I UNDERSTAND FROM A MANAGERIAL POSITION,I HAVE BEEN THERE, TOO, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO START GIVING SOME OTHER PEOPLE A CHANCE. I KIND OF RESENT THE STATEMENT, WE DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT WE WANT.

I DON'T HAVE A WANT. WHAT I DO WANT IS TO BE A PART OF AN EQUAL MIGHT BE OF THIS BODY.

I DON'T WANT THAT FOR TRISHA BUTLER, I WANT THAT FOR WARD 12.

I HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH THE FACT THERE WAS ETHICS COMPLAINT FILED ON HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND ALL A SUDDEN ENTIRE BOARD GOT CHANGED. I THINK THAT LOOKS CONCERNING.

THAT CONCERNED ME. A LOT OF MY, YOU ARE THE MAYOR, THIS IS AT YOUR LIBERTY, OBVIOUSLY BY OUR CHARTER, BUT I DID, I REALLY WAS THROWN OFF A, NOT HAVING ADVANCEMENT OR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. ALSO, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME OF OUR COMMITTEES WE WERE ALREADY SITTING ON GOT DISMANTLED. I GUESS I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WAS. THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON EVANS? YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO WHAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID.

ALSO LIKE TO REITERATE WHAT MY COLLEAGUE FROM WARD EIGHT SAID.

THEIR LEGISLATION PASSED WE NEED TO BE INTENTIONAL WHEN FORMING THESE COMMITTEES. I ALSO PERCENT DO NOT FEEL LIKE THERE WAS ANY SORT OF INTENTIONAL THOUGHT GOING ON IN THE FINANCE COMMITTEE SPECIFICALLY.

I ECHO WHAT THEY HAVE SAID AND SHARE SAME CONCERNS, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON RICHMOND? >> I TOO IN FULL DISCLOSURE SENT AN E-MAIL. MY E-MAIL WAS ALONG THE LINES, WHY THE COUNCIL, I KNOW WE USED TO BE CONSIDERED AND

[02:20:01]

TRIAL BY FIRE. READY, AIM, FIRE.

OR READY, FIRE, AIM. PERSONALLY TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER PEER. NOT FOR VONDELL RICHMOND.

AM HERE TO LEARN AS MUCH AS I CAN AND THE WAY I LEARN WHAT HAPPENS AT THE LEVEL OF THE CITY, GET ON THESE COMMITTEES APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR, LEARN WHAT THERE IS TO LEARN, INVITE CONSTITUENTS INTO THE CONVERSATION.

TO MANY CONSTITUENTS DON'T KNOW THEY ARE ALLOWED TO PUBLICALLY PARTICIPANT. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DEAL WITH WHATEVER DECISIONS ALONG WITH DEPARTMENT HEADS.

AND SO PERSONALLY, I AM BACK ON THE SAME COUPLE OF COMMITTEES I STARTED OFF ON THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS A SENIORITY SYSTEM.

I CAN SEE WHERE THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED.

I WOULD TO LOVE MORE ABOUT HOUSING AND FINANCING AND THE ONLY WAY IS TO BE ON THE COMMITTEE.

JUST LIKE ME PEERS ASK PLEASE MAJOR TAKE OUR REQUEST INTO CONSIDERATION. I INVITE YOU TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS SO COMMITTEES ARE DIVERSE, THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON, HOLLEMAN YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> IF YOU WANT TO CRUNCH IT IN NUMBERS.

SOME WANT DIVERSITY. SOME WANT LEADERSHIP.

WE DON'T GET OUR WAY SO WE GO CRAZY AND COMPLAIN AND DO ALL THIS OTHER STUFF AND WHINE ABOUT IT.

YOU ARE PROVEN WHY YOU WEREN'T SELECTED FOR LEADERSHIP.

>> COUNCIL PERSON, STREETMAN YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. HEARING SOME OF THE THINGS SAID.

STATING THERE IS NEWER MEMBERS OF THE THE COUNCIL.

>> I AM ON THE THIRD YEAR ON THE COMMITTEE.

I DIDN'T CHAIR A COMMITTEE UNTIL INTO MY THIRD YEAR.

TO SAY COMMITTEE MEMBER IS ANY LESS THAN A CHAIR, YOU ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT. COMMITTEE AS A WHOLE AND HANDLES BUSINESS. THEY ARE AS EQUALLY HAS IMPORTANT AS AROUND THE TABLE. COMMENT MADE IN REGARD TO ETHICS COMPLAINT FILED, THAT WASN'T FILED BY ANY MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL. THAT WAS A VERY UNJUST STATEMENT AS WELL AS COMMENTS BEING MADE MAYOR WAS -- PURPOSEFULLY BEING DISCRI DISCRIMINATORY.

THE MAYOR PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT ON WHO NEEDED TO BE PUT ON COMMITTEES. SCHEDULES PLAYED INTO IT.

I THINK DEFINITELY PLAYS INTO A FACTOR.

FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS DO, BUDGETS OR ANYTHING ELSE, MEET WITH THE DEPARTMENT HEADS THEY WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GO OVER INFORMATION. MISS MOTA IS HAPPY TO DELVE DEEP

[02:25:02]

>> COUNCIL PERSON ALLEN? >> WHEN SOMEONE STANDS UP FOR THEMSELVES THAT IS NOT A REASON WHY THEY SHOULDN'T BE ON THE COMMITTEE. THAT IS THE REASON WHY I AM NOT ON THAT COMMITTEE BECAUSE I MADE A SPECIAL REQUEST NOT TO.

I AM NOT TRYING TO GET ON ANY SPECIFIC COMMITTEE.

IF YOU WATCH THE WAY I WORK WHEN I AM ON THIS COUNCIL IT IS NOT ABOUT ME BUT WHAT IS RIGHT. ABOUT THE LAWS WE HAVE SOOE SAID ARE IN PLACE AND PUT DIVERSE STANDING COMMITTEES IN OUR LAWS.

ALSO A SPECIFIC PORTION OF OUR CODE OF ETHICS THERE WILL BE NO PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT FOR ANYONE.

THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THIS COUNCIL.

THIS IS A PROBLEM. IF WE DON'T SEE IT AS A PROBLEM.

WE ARE THE PROBLEM. I HOPE IT GETS CHANGED SO WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS ANY FURTHER, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR, I WILL DOUBLE DOWN.

I DIDN'T CALL YOU OUT IN THE E-MAIL.

I UNDERSTAND IF PREVIOUS MEMBERS HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THEIR THIRD YEAR. WHAT HAPPENS IN NOVEMBER -- JANUARY OF 2023 WHEN EVERY SINGLE PERSON UP HERE.

IT IS A LONG SHOT. SETTING OURSELVES UP WITH WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE ELECTION CYCLES UPSETS THIS YEAR.

THOSE OF US THAT HAVE ONLY BEEN HERE A YEAR NEED TO START LEARNING. I WANTED TO REITERATE THAT.

I AM NOT FEELINGS HURT ABOUT SIN YORTY.

SENIORITY. >> I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE MANY OF US ARE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE OVERALL MAKEUP AND DIVERSITY OF THE FIVE PEOPLE ON EACH COMMITTEE. WE ARE 50% WHITE, 50% BLACK.

AT LEAST SOME OF THE COMMITTEE SHOULD REFLECT THAT WHICH MANY DO NOT. I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE LEADERS ARE GROWN. THEY DON'T ALWAYS JUST STEP UP.

AS A LEADER, IT IS ALSO YOUR DUTY TO CREATE LEADERS AND BUILD LEADERS AN MENTOR THEM. NOT USE YOUR POSITION TO CONTROL. THAT IS WHAT MANY OF US FEEL HAS HAPPENED WITH THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE COMMITTEES.

THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PERSON RICHMOND?

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. COULD YOU GIVE US INSIGHT WHAT WENT INTO THE PROCESS AND WITH RESPECT TO THE PERSON THAT MENTIONED SENIORITY. BEING IN THE SENIOR PEER GROUP I WAS REMOVED I DON'T MIND. IF WE ARE LOOKING AT SENIORITY, IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THEY LANDED, SENIOR MEMBERS ARE COMMITTEE CHAIRS. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ONE SENIOR MEMBER WHO HAPPENED TO BE MYSELF? ALL OF US ARE IRRESPECTIVE OF YEARS ON THE COUNCIL CAPABLE AS LEADERS TO FIGURE IT OUT. THAT IS WHAT I HAD TO DO.

[02:30:01]

AFTER SITTING IN A COMMITTEE. YOU JUST LEARN ROBERTS RULES AND DO THIS. I ALSO ASK FOR COACHING FROM THE MAYOR WHO GAVE IT TO ME. COACHING FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD VERY INSTRUMENTAL. THERE IS A TEAM BEHIND US.

NOT JUST A TUR YOU ARE DOOMED IF YOU DON'T HAVE SENIORITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WENT INTO IT.

>> RESHUFFLE COMMITTEES IN JULY WE HAD TO WAIT TO GET PEEL PLACED. WE'LL DO OUR BEST.

I HAVE HEARD EVERY COMMENT INCLUDING THREATS.

I WILL TAKE THOSE INTO ACCOUNT AND DO WHAT WE CAN.

>> JUST FOR THE RECORD I WAS NEVER ASKED ABOUT A WORK SCHEDULE OR ANYTHING ELSE. I MAKE MY OWN SCHEDULE.

I DON'T HAVE A BOSS TO ANSWER TO.

IF THAT DID NFRT HAPPENED I WAS MISSED IN THAT PROCESS.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> COUNCIL PERSON BUTTLER. >> I AM CURIOUS WHO MADE THREATS IF THAT WAS ME -- IF SOMEONE THOUGHT I MADE A THREAT, I PROMISE I AM NOT MAKING ANY THREATS THANKS.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT. NOW READY FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[4) FINANCE COMMITTEE (Part 2 of 2)]

>> CHAIRPERSON STREETMAN YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.

>> THANK YOU MAYOR. >> ORDNANCE 59, 2021-22.

I WOULD ASK THAT WE GO INTO NON-PUBLIC SESSION TO GET
