17. 1:54:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We actually met in person,

21. 1:54:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from the constituents?
22. 1:54:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript She didn't tell me specifically about one issue.

24. 1:54:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about what most of the constituents contact her about.
25. 1:55:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
26. 1:55:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This role does require a significant amount of time,
27. 1:55:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript even outside of this meeting room,
28. 1:55:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you've got a lot going on.
29. 1:55:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So realistically, do you have the capacity for this,
30. 1:55:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and what's the plan?
31. 1:55:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do you have a plan to get up to speed quickly?
32. 1:55:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
33. 1:55:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the plan to get up to speed quickly would be lots
34. 1:55:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of studying in the evening, that's for sure.
35. 1:55:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And do I have time?
36. 1:55:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to say that the busiest people are typically the most organized,
37. 1:55:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I know how to prioritize.
38. 1:55:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay. Thank you.
39. 1:55:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How do you handle disagreements, whether it be on the council
40. 1:55:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or department head or constituents?
41. 1:55:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How are you going to handle those disagreements
42. 1:55:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when it's uncomfortable and unpopular?
43. 1:55:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
44. 1:55:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Lots of things are uncomfortable and unpopular.
45. 1:55:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think with respect, that's the only way to handle it.
46. 1:55:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think there's always going to be disagreements,
47. 1:55:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so that's what makes this group of people able
48. 1:55:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to take care of the community.
49. 1:55:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay. Last question.
50. 1:56:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Have you ever changed your position on an issue
51. 1:56:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript after learning more,
52. 1:56:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and how did you communicate your change of opinion?
53. 1:56:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes. If there is someone that is an expert in their field,
54. 1:56:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I work in healthcare,
55. 1:56:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so if there's someone that's an expert in their field,
56. 1:56:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript someone specific in a specific role and they know more
57. 1:56:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript than I do about that, they are definitely going
58. 1:56:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to change my mind about a subject.
59. 1:56:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I have relayed that to them directly.
60. 1:56:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay. Last question.
61. 1:56:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You brought up experts in the field.
62. 1:56:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Who do you consider the experts in the field when it comes
63. 1:56:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to city government?
64. 1:56:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah. So it would actually be the people that do the work day
65. 1:56:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to day, day in and day out.
66. 1:56:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it's important that the department has a role in that.
67. 1:56:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it's important that heads are giving us reports,
68. 1:56:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I think those actual folks
69. 1:56:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are in the field doing the job are the experts.
70. 1:56:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
71. 1:56:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all.
72. 1:56:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, you're recognized.

74. 1:56:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, ma'am.
75. 1:56:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have a different question for you than from the rest
76. 1:57:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the candidates that I've spoken to.
77. 1:57:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You mentioned parking fees, raising parking fees.
78. 1:57:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are you referring to downtown parking?
79. 1:57:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm talking about parking everywhere.
80. 1:57:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's not any pay to park.
81. 1:57:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's no pay to park at facilities, and it's an option.
82. 1:57:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript At, you know, different, like the Wilmer Rudolph Events Center
83. 1:57:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and things like that.
84. 1:57:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's an option.
85. 1:57:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Have you ever been to one of the parking commission meetings?
86. 1:57:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have not.
87. 1:57:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I guess based on that question,
88. 1:57:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that my idea is not a good one.
89. 1:57:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have, ma'am.

95. 1:57:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Nothing's changed.
96. 1:57:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How do you make decisions when there is no perfect option, only tradeoffs?
97. 1:57:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript With everything.
98. 1:57:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Weigh the pros and cons and make decisions that are hard.
99. 1:58:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have to decide.
100. 1:58:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay. And then when you hear a new policy idea,
101. 1:58:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what information do you need before deciding whether you support or oppose it?
102. 1:58:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Fiscally responsible.
103. 1:58:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
104. 1:58:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These are the fiscally responsible people
105. 1:58:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and those that the constituents have voiced.
106. 1:58:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
107. 1:58:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then if staff, engineers, or consultants presented evidence
108. 1:58:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that a commonly held belief about traffic, parking, or housing was incorrect,
109. 1:58:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript how would you approach that as a decision maker?
110. 1:58:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would trust what they had to say.
111. 1:58:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're the experts in the field.
112. 1:58:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
113. 1:58:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then think about a street in Clarksville
114. 1:58:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that was the first time a person has been in a site of neglect and
115. 1:58:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that feels uncomfortable or unsafe for some people who struggles the most on that street and why

306. 2:08:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my was Monday when I went to the kind of
307. 2:08:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Commission meeting and so you know we're
308. 2:08:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not on the highest end of the list so
309. 2:08:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript some of us are saying hey I know we live
310. 2:08:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the fringe of the county and the
311. 2:08:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript fringe of the city but give us some love
312. 2:08:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there is a problem though if we don't get to work we're not going to get to work
313. 2:08:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will uh speak with uh to answer Joe's
314. 2:08:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript question is our problem is in Ward 2 we
315. 2:08:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript got two State Roads right so we can't
316. 2:08:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript really do anything we got um Dover Road
317. 2:08:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right State Road and then Fort Campbell
318. 2:08:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Boulevard kind of in a triangle and then
319. 2:08:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we got the uh the 101 uh division right
320. 2:08:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there it's like a funny square triangle
321. 2:08:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whatever that so who's the one with the
322. 2:09:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript math kid they said they probably
323. 2:09:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trapezoid or something
324. 2:09:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um and I think that is why it's so hard
325. 2:09:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to get us funded in Ward 2 because a lot
326. 2:09:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of it is owned by the state
327. 2:09:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um this rule requires a significant
328. 2:09:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript amount of time uh what does your
329. 2:09:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript availability I've been I've been doing
330. 2:09:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it already it's a y'all know I thought I
331. 2:09:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have at least 100 City Council County
332. 2:09:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Commission School Board meetings under
333. 2:09:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my belt at the very least I am retired
334. 2:09:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I ain't got nothing else better to do
335. 2:09:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript except to make sure that the people of Clarksville,
336. 2:09:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the people of Montgomery County,
337. 2:09:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the students of the school board
338. 2:09:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript get the right to have their voices heard.
339. 2:09:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I got all the time in the world.
340. 2:09:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like I said, I've already been doing it, Ms. Cunspin.
341. 2:09:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Would you say you're a good listener?
342. 2:09:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What's that?
343. 2:09:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I said, would you say you're a good listener?
344. 2:09:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, heck yeah.
345. 2:09:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, yeah?
346. 2:09:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, yeah.
347. 2:09:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How do you handle disagreements
348. 2:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when it's uncomfortable or unpopular?
349. 2:10:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Holy Bible.
350. 2:10:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It says there is a such thing.
351. 2:10:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not going to be a very popular answer,
352. 2:10:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I'm very going to forgive me.
353. 2:10:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Such thing is righteous indignation.
354. 2:10:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That means that you're right beyond right,
355. 2:10:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and sometimes you have to fight to be right.
356. 2:10:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, Clarksville,
357. 2:10:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we are historically talking about
358. 2:10:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a lot of civil rights leaders that came from here, right?
359. 2:10:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's an...
360. 2:10:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's what they did.
361. 2:10:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Back then when Clarksville wasn't giving them a shot,
362. 2:10:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when Clarksville wasn't getting into it,
363. 2:10:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they fought because they were right,
364. 2:10:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they knew what to be right.
365. 2:10:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, the true trick is to find out
366. 2:10:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what battles are worth fighting and what are not,
367. 2:10:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that would depend on the person that's fighting you.
368. 2:11:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have.
369. 2:11:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
370. 2:11:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith, you're recognized. Called on: Wanda Smith
371. 2:11:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
372. 2:11:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Sarge, for coming forth.
373. 2:11:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've seen you.
374. 2:11:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
375. 2:11:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're always back,
376. 2:11:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I see you do a lot of volunteering
377. 2:11:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at these different homeless shelters
378. 2:11:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and urban ministries and things like that.
379. 2:11:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Love their pancake breakfasts.
380. 2:11:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, so good.
381. 2:11:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My question to you,
382. 2:11:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you say you love Clarksville.
383. 2:11:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do.
384. 2:11:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know you do.
385. 2:11:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What would you do different
386. 2:11:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to make Clarksville a better place to live?
387. 2:11:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, real talk.
388. 2:11:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Real talk,
389. 2:11:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and this is probably not going to win me any votes here,
390. 2:11:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but Clarksville, pretty good as it is.
391. 2:11:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The problem is that the constituents,
392. 2:11:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the citizens of Clarksville,
393. 2:11:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are not taking advantage of everything that we got.
394. 2:11:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, they don't want to do no plow or plunge.
395. 2:11:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They don't want to go on the raceway.
396. 2:11:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They don't want to use the trails.
397. 2:11:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, they don't want to go golfing.
398. 2:11:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we got great golf.
399. 2:12:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We see it because they're not spending the money to do it.
400. 2:12:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I would think it's a,
401. 2:12:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript maybe just get the citizens more hyped up,
402. 2:12:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript more activated,
403. 2:12:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like use our things.
404. 2:12:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're spending money.
405. 2:12:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We want to do this for you.
406. 2:12:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's do it.
407. 2:12:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But you think we're not marketing enough
408. 2:12:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to let people know what we got going on?
409. 2:12:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to put out more information?
410. 2:12:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't want to get in trouble by the marketing people
411. 2:12:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because I might need them later.
412. 2:12:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I wasn't going to say that,
413. 2:12:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but yes, yes.
414. 2:12:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I feel that there is marketing for the South,
415. 2:12:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the South is different.
416. 2:12:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I don't believe that we're hitting the right talking points
417. 2:12:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or getting the citizenship excited enough
418. 2:12:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for what we're,
419. 2:12:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what y'all worked very hard to provide for the citizens.
420. 2:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
421. 2:12:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you for that.
422. 2:12:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, your question is the same as a few others.
423. 2:12:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What way can you increase the city budget?
424. 2:13:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's a very important question.
425. 2:13:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I love it because we've been raising taxes
426. 2:13:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for how long now?
427. 2:13:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript At least eight years.
428. 2:13:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I know if it's a thing and it's real hard to cut
429. 2:13:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because we really need this.
430. 2:13:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let me say something.
431. 2:13:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Without raising the taxes,
432. 2:13:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what way can you?
433. 2:13:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's what I was saying that first of all,
434. 2:13:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I've already done this.
435. 2:13:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've looked at the budget.
436. 2:13:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What can we cut from the budget?
437. 2:13:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Man, I wish we didn't have to cut out those four mavericks
438. 2:13:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the city departments.
439. 2:13:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that would have been very nice for them to have and stuff.
440. 2:13:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we are looking at revenues
441. 2:13:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are brand new revenue streams
442. 2:13:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we need to cut.
443. 2:13:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And who is the most beneficial people
444. 2:13:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are here in Clarksville?
445. 2:13:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I believe it's the builders.
446. 2:13:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So builder's fees would be a thing.
447. 2:13:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Also, I'm a very, very proud small business owner.
448. 2:13:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know why I paid for my small business license?
449. 2:13:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 20 bucks.
450. 2:13:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Come on, man.
451. 2:13:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So maybe raise that 50 bucks.
452. 2:13:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know some people are going to be like,
453. 2:13:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript oh, I don't know if I really want this idea or whatever.
454. 2:14:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But there are,
455. 2:14:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when I ran for mayor,
456. 2:14:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we had this debate.
457. 2:14:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I did say that we have to always look at all the departments
458. 2:14:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and see where waste, fraud, and abuse is coming from.
459. 2:14:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I said, we look at that, we skim it.
460. 2:14:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We skim that, and then we offer brand new ideas
461. 2:14:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to try to equalize things.
462. 2:14:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The other thing is,
463. 2:14:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript maybe some of the properties that we buy,
464. 2:14:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have to make sure that we have to,
465. 2:14:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have to make sure that we have to pay
466. 2:14:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for those properties that we buy.
467. 2:14:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if we want to buy a building for $800,000
468. 2:14:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and it's worth $1.2 million,
469. 2:14:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's a smart investment.
470. 2:14:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We can do that because we can have bonds
471. 2:14:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and stuff against that.
472. 2:14:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But if we're buying a piece of property that's $50,000
473. 2:14:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's only worth $10,000,
474. 2:14:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're actually losing money on buying that.
475. 2:14:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I know sometimes we have to because the rezoning
476. 2:14:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and intimate domain, you know, all that stuff.
477. 2:15:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And stuff like that.
478. 2:15:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we've got to really, really be careful
479. 2:15:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on what we're buying that we're losing money on.
480. 2:15:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
481. 2:15:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, what is the hardest decision you had to make?
482. 2:15:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, that's so easy.
483. 2:15:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, come on.
484. 2:15:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I took a political hit a few years ago,
485. 2:15:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript two years ago, actually.
486. 2:15:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some of my own backers from my political party
487. 2:15:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript did not want to.
488. 2:15:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They wanted to help me in this thing.
489. 2:15:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I actually came up here a few years ago
490. 2:15:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to talk about the Landon case.
491. 2:15:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Minglewood teacher that abused an Afro-Latino,
492. 2:15:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well, sorry, didn't abuse, assaulted an Afro-Latino
493. 2:15:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript autistic child in Minglewood.
494. 2:15:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sorry for anyone who has wives that are teachers
495. 2:16:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or teachers, nowhere in the United States
496. 2:16:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is it okay to pull,
497. 2:16:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's a four-year-old's dread.
498. 2:16:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's a teacher.
499. 2:16:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And when they find out in their investigation
500. 2:16:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that it was six times that the teacher
501. 2:16:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript had to actually do it,
502. 2:16:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the mother fought for a year,
503. 2:16:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript had to go on to the news,
504. 2:16:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript beg you as a misrepresentative thing.
505. 2:16:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's one of the other problems with the citizenship
506. 2:16:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is that they don't know where to go for help.
507. 2:16:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So when something like that,
508. 2:16:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when something so devastating happens to them,
509. 2:16:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're doing a shotgun spread.
510. 2:16:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're all like, let me ask the mayor,
511. 2:16:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript let me ask the, but that was the school board issue.
512. 2:16:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was the school board issue.
513. 2:16:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And after about a year,
514. 2:16:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we finally got it resolved
515. 2:16:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the teacher was forcibly retired with pay,
516. 2:16:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript early retirement.
517. 2:16:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what role did you play in this situation?
518. 2:17:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The activism.
519. 2:17:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The activism.
520. 2:17:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So give me the information of who that she,
521. 2:17:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript who she actually had to talk to.
522. 2:17:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They said, then come up here and make y'all aware
523. 2:17:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the situation, go to the county commission,
524. 2:17:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript make them aware of the,
525. 2:17:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then of course of the school board
526. 2:17:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and each time getting the ridicule
527. 2:17:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the pushback from that.
528. 2:17:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it really did hurt that I was honestly
529. 2:17:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trying to do something out of the goodness of my heart
530. 2:17:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and just people was being ugly to me.
531. 2:17:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, you answered that pretty well.
532. 2:17:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're the only one that really gave me an explanation
533. 2:17:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and show me an example.
534. 2:17:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I appreciate that.
535. 2:17:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You understood the question.
536. 2:17:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I appreciate that.
537. 2:17:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understood the assignment.
538. 2:17:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
539. 2:17:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, you did.
540. 2:17:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, you did.
541. 2:17:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, you did.
542. 2:17:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You got that right.
543. 2:17:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You get an A for that.
544. 2:17:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are you a regular voter?
545. 2:17:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I am a super voter.
546. 2:17:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I vote on anything.
547. 2:17:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If there's a classroom union election stuff,
548. 2:17:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll get on that too.
549. 2:17:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You'll get on that too.
550. 2:17:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you said something about cutting stuff in the budget
551. 2:18:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you said, you know, making us,
552. 2:18:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we should look at the budgets for fraud
553. 2:18:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and all things like that.
554. 2:18:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's a good idea.
555. 2:18:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What do you think we should cut?
556. 2:18:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a, when I ran for mayor,
557. 2:18:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I did realize that this was four years ago,
558. 2:18:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is that there were some departments
559. 2:18:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that were using antiquated devices
560. 2:18:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for payment solutions and stuff like that.
561. 2:18:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I guess the mayor heard me out
562. 2:18:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because that's no longer the issue.
563. 2:18:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we had to be able to cut out,
564. 2:18:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it used to be those three pieces of paper,
565. 2:18:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the white, yellow, carbon paste and stuff like that.
566. 2:18:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it was like 2022, right?
567. 2:18:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So there's no reason for still being used that.
568. 2:18:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But so we got it now, we're a computer base.
569. 2:18:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we got like, that's an example of let's look,
570. 2:18:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what are we doing as practices in doing that?
571. 2:18:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you look at the budget also,
572. 2:18:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the last budget I reviewed,
573. 2:18:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript man, we are replacing printers like nobody's business.
574. 2:19:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Printers and copiers, man, we are buying copiers.
575. 2:19:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, we need stock copiers.
576. 2:19:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's as many times we replace them in the city budget.
577. 2:19:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, yes, maybe looking at leasing instead of buying,
578. 2:19:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript also maybe finding something that has
579. 2:19:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like more extended warranties or something
580. 2:19:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that doesn't have to be fixed by a specialized person.
581. 2:19:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Maybe it costs us a couple hundred dollars up front,
582. 2:19:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it actually saves us a few thousand in the back end.
583. 2:19:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, well, thank you so much.
584. 2:19:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're very pleasant, I really appreciate that.

587. 2:19:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
588. 2:19:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized. Called on: Ambar Marquis
589. 2:19:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
590. 2:19:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Good evening, AC.
591. 2:19:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Same questions.
592. 2:19:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How do you make decisions when there is no perfect option,
593. 2:19:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript only trade-offs?
594. 2:19:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's four things that I use.
595. 2:19:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript First one is always the consistent.
596. 2:19:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My apologies, I do have a sort of a stutter.
597. 2:20:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've been blown up a couple times, have been concussed.
598. 2:20:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I already forgot how many times.
599. 2:20:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So sometimes I do have a stutter,
600. 2:20:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I apologize about my speech right there.
601. 2:20:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But to answer your question,
602. 2:20:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's always the constituents, right?
603. 2:20:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript United States Constitution, right?
604. 2:20:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because this is the Bible that we live in.
605. 2:20:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Holy Bible, the real Holy Bible.
606. 2:20:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that state still that's sitting right behind Mayor Pitts.
607. 2:20:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It says two words, agriculture and commerce.
608. 2:20:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So when we're having to make a tough decision,
609. 2:20:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have to look at those two words.
610. 2:20:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So are we balancing the agriculture?
611. 2:20:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now we balancing the commerce, bringing money in
612. 2:20:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we need so the people of Clarksville
613. 2:20:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't have to pay more taxes.
614. 2:20:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
615. 2:20:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then when you hear new policy idea,
616. 2:20:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what information do you need before deciding
617. 2:20:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whether you would support or oppose it?
618. 2:21:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The constituents, once again, it is their citizens.
619. 2:21:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's their city.
620. 2:21:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's their word that's connected to their city.
621. 2:21:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They have the ultimate say so.
622. 2:21:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Even if I don't, even if I disagree,
623. 2:21:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if I disagree what the constituent wants,
624. 2:21:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will still do what the constituent wants
625. 2:21:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because this is their city.
626. 2:21:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is a group of people that the greater good
627. 2:21:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is above my opinion.
628. 2:21:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I decide, I look at them.
629. 2:21:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, it's very important that we don't,
630. 2:21:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we give the opportunity, like I said,
631. 2:21:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that Commissioner Beall does,
632. 2:21:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript give them the opportunity to educate themselves
633. 2:21:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because I know one of the biggest things
634. 2:21:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we have trouble here in the city council
635. 2:21:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is an uneducated citizenship.
636. 2:21:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They'll come up and they'll talk about something
637. 2:21:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that the city can't do nothing about.
638. 2:21:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, we all would feel for you.
639. 2:21:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We could pray for you, but legally,
640. 2:22:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we can't do nothing for you, so.
641. 2:22:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
642. 2:22:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, then if staff, engineers, or consultants
643. 2:22:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript presented evidence that a commonly held belief
644. 2:22:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about traffic, parking, or housing was incorrect,
645. 2:22:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript how would you approach that as a disciplinary?
646. 2:22:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, haven't we already done that in the past?
647. 2:22:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we look at the past and past issues
648. 2:22:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where they said the Lincoln Homes,
649. 2:22:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or not the Lincoln Homes, the ones that's right
650. 2:22:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript by the garbage place, the landfill,
651. 2:22:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they gave us recommendations.
652. 2:22:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They said, oh, our streets are good.
653. 2:22:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our houses are good.
654. 2:22:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, we said, we're still housing people
655. 2:22:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that need housing and stuff,
656. 2:22:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then you'll get an incident, something like,
657. 2:22:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hey, a special ed man that was short of midget,
658. 2:22:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I don't know what the political correct term is,
659. 2:23:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript did not leave his house in Lincoln Homes because he got picked
660. 2:23:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on too much, and he ended up committing suicide,
661. 2:23:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and nobody checked on him for three months.
662. 2:23:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, come on, I think that's an easy decision.
663. 2:23:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's that we cannot trust everything that the experts say
664. 2:23:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because, hey, sometimes experts get Cs,
665. 2:23:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and sometimes experts get Ds,
666. 2:23:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because Ds still get you degrees.
667. 2:23:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
668. 2:23:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Think about a street in Clarksville that feels uncomfortable
669. 2:23:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Down the drive.
670. 2:23:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Down the drive. Think about a street in Clarksville that feels uncomfortable or unsafe for some reason.
671. 2:23:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Think about a street in Clarksville that feels uncomfortable or unsafe for some reason.
672. 2:23:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Who struggles the most on that street and why?
673. 2:23:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, Down the drive is one of the,
674. 2:23:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I believe it's one of the largest streets in our ward,
675. 2:23:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we have a great transportation system
676. 2:23:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that goes onto Down the drive.
677. 2:23:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The problem is the feeder streets that go to Down the drive
678. 2:23:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to connect to the bus routes, people are walking.
679. 2:24:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript People are walking miles and things.
680. 2:24:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm always offering a ride, but I don't know,
681. 2:24:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people always think that I'm trying to kidnap them.
682. 2:24:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Or something.
683. 2:24:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're all like, no, no, I'm good, I'm good.
684. 2:24:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So like, bro, I live like around the corner.
685. 2:24:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can give you, you know,
686. 2:24:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a ride a mile and a half to the bus station.
687. 2:24:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It don't matter, or to the bus stop.
688. 2:24:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It doesn't matter to me.
689. 2:24:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's the people that can't afford the high insurance
690. 2:24:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that Tennessee has for vehicle insurance.
691. 2:24:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's the people that can't get a vehicle
692. 2:24:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to get to their jobs to get that,
693. 2:24:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they have to rely on the bus system.
694. 2:24:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And no matter if it's cold, hot,
695. 2:24:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript rainy, snowy, they are still struggling just to get money,
696. 2:24:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just to pay their rent, just to pay their utility,
697. 2:24:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just to be a human being.
698. 2:24:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that's wrong.
699. 2:24:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, thank you for being here tonight.
700. 2:24:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized. Called on: Stacey Streetman
701. 2:24:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
702. 2:24:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You've already answered one of my questions.
703. 2:24:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So my other questions are, if you
704. 2:25:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript should get appointed to this seat,
705. 2:25:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do you plan on running for it?
706. 2:25:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I am going to be 100% honest with you.
707. 2:25:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If I get selected, I'm rerunning again in November.
708. 2:25:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If I do not get selected, it depends who gets selected.
709. 2:25:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If the persons that I feel would be qualified for this job,
710. 2:25:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if I think they got it, they got it.
711. 2:25:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So there would be no way for me, no reason for me to step up.
712. 2:25:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then I would transfer my attentions to the county,
713. 2:25:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because once again, we have roads that are not city roads
714. 2:25:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that need our attention.
715. 2:25:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, that would be my actual next question
716. 2:25:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that I was going to ask you that I didn't ask the others,
717. 2:25:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is that you've already went out and pulled a petition.
718. 2:25:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was actually after Councilman McLaughlin announced
719. 2:25:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that she wasn't running that you pulled a petition
720. 2:25:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to run for the county commission.
721. 2:25:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I just wasn't sure if you were aware you can't actually
722. 2:25:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript serve on both of those bodies at the same time.
723. 2:26:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, yes.
724. 2:26:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I joked with Commissioner Knight that it was a rule
725. 2:26:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that I was not allowed to serve on both of those bodies
726. 2:26:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that I put in just for him.
727. 2:26:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But yes, I do understand.
728. 2:26:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And once again, I'm not going to say the wrong person,
729. 2:26:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because every one of these people have heart and feeling
730. 2:26:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and desire to do good for their community.
731. 2:26:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm not going to badmouth them.
732. 2:26:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's what we want, right?
733. 2:26:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But there's a couple more.
734. 2:26:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's a couple of candidates that are very qualified.
735. 2:26:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think I'm one of them, too.
736. 2:26:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And some of them that need to learn.
737. 2:26:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They have to learn.
738. 2:26:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if one of the ones that need to learn gets,
739. 2:26:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yeah, I'm going to challenge them.
740. 2:26:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if one of the ones that do get selected that doesn't need to learn,
741. 2:26:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that they're a perfect fit, county commission.
742. 2:26:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Which one is your preference, county commission or city council?
743. 2:27:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's all city council, man.
744. 2:27:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so I know some of y'all are old and stuff like that,
745. 2:27:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it's all city council.
746. 2:27:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And before Mary Pitts, city council was, ooh, baby.
747. 2:27:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was great, man.
748. 2:27:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was so much fire.
749. 2:27:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was so much things.
750. 2:27:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some of us may not have liked this stuff,
751. 2:27:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but watching the video, hearing the radio over it, ooh, it was fire, right?
752. 2:27:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, yeah, I would prefer city.
753. 2:27:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not that I'm going to try to do that again,
754. 2:27:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I think the way the old group of people and the new group of people
755. 2:27:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have worked together in the last few years, the last two years,
756. 2:27:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think y'all are on it.
757. 2:27:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think y'all are on something.
758. 2:27:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Y'all got something right.
759. 2:27:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And y'all don't even argue that much, which is kind of boring,
760. 2:27:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it makes the videos a little bit boring.
761. 2:27:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What do you feel is the most important thing that we vote on?
762. 2:27:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Rezoning.
763. 2:27:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Rezoning, hands down, not even a question.
764. 2:27:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because I spoke here a week ago, two weeks ago, about a rezoning issue
765. 2:28:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that wasn't even in my will.
766. 2:28:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it was hard because it affected me going to the VA
767. 2:28:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and getting the help I needed medically.
768. 2:28:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I thought we can't put nothing else on Rossview Road.
769. 2:28:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know how much I have to explain it.
770. 2:28:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's tapped.
771. 2:28:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's tapped.
772. 2:28:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And like I explained the last time is that when you're putting more people
773. 2:28:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in an area that's not designed for that many roads, for students
774. 2:28:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and stuff like that, rezoning affects everything.
775. 2:28:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It affects how people live,
776. 2:28:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript how they're living.
777. 2:28:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just a right to travel and stuff.
778. 2:28:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Rezoning is the heart of it.
779. 2:28:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If we can do it smartly, we can make this city even better than what it is.
780. 2:28:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
781. 2:28:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
782. 2:28:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, have you recognized?
783. 2:28:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
784. 2:28:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
785. 2:28:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir, for coming.
786. 2:28:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have one question for you, and you harped on your constituents, right?
787. 2:28:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
788. 2:28:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're all about your constituents.
789. 2:29:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we're talking about rezoning, and we're talking about proposed rezoning
790. 2:29:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for apartments.
791. 2:29:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And your constituents are asking you and are advising you to vote against it.
792. 2:29:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are you always going to vote with your constituents?
793. 2:29:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would educate the constituents of the pros and cons of it.
794. 2:29:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that's one of the things that Councilman McLaughlin did very,
795. 2:29:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript very, very well.
796. 2:29:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's like I'm making a decision.
797. 2:29:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My name is on the line.
798. 2:29:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Tell me what you think.
799. 2:29:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's why we had 160.
800. 2:29:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Or she had 160 town hall meetings.
801. 2:29:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, I ain't going to do that now.
802. 2:29:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I am going to want to educate.
803. 2:29:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I believe that that's the most important thing, Mr. Shekinah, is that we educate the
804. 2:29:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript constituents on especially a rezoning issue, once again, because rezoning does affect the
805. 2:29:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript common man and the common woman here in Clarksville.
806. 2:30:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
807. 2:30:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, again, we're talking about traffic.
808. 2:30:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're not talking about what the previous council member did or town halls.
809. 2:30:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're talking about you.
810. 2:30:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are you going to side with your constituents?
811. 2:30:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Once again, I would educate them.
812. 2:30:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would give them the pros and cons of it.
813. 2:30:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They will make an informed decision.
814. 2:30:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And whatever that informed decision is, that's where I'll vote.
815. 2:30:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If they do not come to a consensus, if they just say or they do not reach out.
816. 2:30:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to vote what the Lord tells me to vote, what the Bible tells me to vote, help
817. 2:30:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript those who can't help themselves.
818. 2:30:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
819. 2:30:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
820. 2:30:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
821. 2:30:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Lopez, Article 2, Sections 2 and 3 of the Clarksville City Charter spell out the
822. 2:30:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript qualifications of a mayor and city council candidate.

839. 2:31:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These days, it appears to be social media are the windows to the soul.
840. 2:31:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If we were to call up your social media accounts on this council floor right now, is there
841. 2:31:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript anything in those accounts that may cause the citizens of this city to believe you are
842. 2:31:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript biased for or against any particular group, member of the council, or employee of the
843. 2:31:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript city?

1073. 2:44:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript greenway of some kind, all those things could be flooded
1074. 2:44:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whenever we do have those situations,
1075. 2:45:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it could be used by the community so much to have...
1076. 2:45:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're saying put a park in there where the flood is?
1077. 2:45:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that what you're saying?

1082. 2:45:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It'd be a new area for people in Clarksville to go to exercise.

1084. 2:45:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In the flooded area.

1088. 2:45:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It could flood at any time.
1089. 2:45:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it would always go away through the sinkhole in the basin, though.

1094. 2:45:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, ma'am, I feel like the infrastructure could always use some work
1095. 2:45:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because our traffic is really bad in some certain areas,
1096. 2:45:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript especially in different...

1100. 2:45:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I feel like growth is great,
1101. 2:46:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it also needs to be done in moderation so that we can...
1102. 2:46:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How can we fix these infrastructure problems
1103. 2:46:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where the traffic is always jammed?
1104. 2:46:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ma'am, I think the implementation of turning lanes

1106. 2:46:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You don't think that we need some ramps around the city,

1136. 2:47:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that I would like to try to also work on
1137. 2:47:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is the beautification of it.
1138. 2:47:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In my Kirby Creek kind of area,
1139. 2:47:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that whole area is really kind of an eyesore
1140. 2:47:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for that area where all that flooding does happen.
1141. 2:47:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think,
1142. 2:47:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think cleaning it up would really help that area.
1143. 2:47:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This position of your appointment,
1144. 2:47:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it does require quite a bit of time, you know,
1145. 2:47:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript outside of these council meetings.
1146. 2:47:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what does your availability realistically look like?
1147. 2:47:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.
1148. 2:47:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right now I work for a 3D printing company doing their prosthetics
1149. 2:48:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and orthotics in St. Louis.
1150. 2:48:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's done remotely and I can do it from home
1151. 2:48:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I also set my own hours.
1152. 2:48:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I kind of can put in as much time as I need
1153. 2:48:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I look forward to that.
1154. 2:48:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Have you ever,
1155. 2:48:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript had a situation where you changed
1156. 2:48:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript your position on an issue after learning more about it

1158. 2:48:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.
1159. 2:48:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We always want to be able to listen to everybody's opinion
1160. 2:48:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and make our judgments from that.
1161. 2:48:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I feel like, you know,
1162. 2:48:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript listening to our constituents
1163. 2:48:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and making sure that their needs are all met
1164. 2:48:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that listening to them
1165. 2:48:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then making my decision whether I change my mind,
1166. 2:48:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would make sure that we did that in a newsletter
1167. 2:48:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or something like that.
1168. 2:48:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you so much.

1183. 2:49:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I've been online for the past couple weeks
1184. 2:49:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript refreshing and seeing how the council is doing.
1185. 2:49:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is all ran.
1186. 2:49:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Another one, binging council meetings
1187. 2:49:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript during the ice storm.
1188. 2:49:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And last but absolutely not least,
1189. 2:49:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what do you feel is the most important thing
1190. 2:49:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we vote on as a council?
1191. 2:49:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Definitely the rezoning
1192. 2:49:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and making sure that these things are zoned properly
1193. 2:49:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for our citizens.
1194. 2:49:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, thank you, sir.
1195. 2:49:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized. Called on: Ambar Marquis
1196. 2:49:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
1197. 2:49:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Also, same questions as I've been asking before.
1198. 2:49:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How do you make decisions when there is no perfect option,
1199. 2:49:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript only trade-offs?
1200. 2:49:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Really counting on our experts to give us the right information.
1201. 2:49:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And also relying on the team.
1202. 2:49:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Being part of Ward 2 and being a part of the council,
1203. 2:49:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we are a team for Clarksville citizens.
1204. 2:49:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that I would rely on all of you guys
1205. 2:50:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to sort of guide me and help me with that decision.
1206. 2:50:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, thank you.
1207. 2:50:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then when you hear a new policy idea,
1208. 2:50:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what information do you need before deciding
1209. 2:50:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on whether to support or oppose?
1210. 2:50:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.
1211. 2:50:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would like to have all the information as possible.
1212. 2:50:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think having all the information will allow me
1213. 2:50:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to have the best decision-making process.
1214. 2:50:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1215. 2:50:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then if staff, engineers, or consultants
1216. 2:50:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript presented evidence that a commonly held belief
1217. 2:50:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about traffic, parking, or housing was incorrect,
1218. 2:50:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript how would you approach that as a decision-maker?
1219. 2:50:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, relying on the experts
1220. 2:50:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and going with what their recommendations are.
1221. 2:50:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1222. 2:50:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then lastly, think about a street in Clarksville
1223. 2:50:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that feels uncomfortable or unsafe for some people.
1224. 2:50:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Who struggles the most on that street and why?
1225. 2:50:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.
1226. 2:50:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to say Kirby Drive.
1227. 2:50:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Kirby Drive is a very, very popular cut-through
1228. 2:50:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that goes from Lafayette Road over to Ambrose,
1229. 2:51:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or I'm sorry, Armstead, and to Concord Road.
1230. 2:51:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And for instance, if one person parks on the street,
1231. 2:51:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it turns it into a one-lane road.
1232. 2:51:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's a very, very popular street.
1233. 2:51:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I feel...
1234. 2:51:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I feel like that's probably one of the first streets
1235. 2:51:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would try to help.
1236. 2:51:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
1237. 2:51:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Who did you say struggles on the street?
1238. 2:51:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The end of the question is,
1239. 2:51:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript who struggles the most on that street and why?
1240. 2:51:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, I think all traffic, because it's a main cut-through.
1241. 2:51:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a main thoroughfare through from Lafayette to 41A.
1242. 2:51:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
1243. 2:51:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.

1397. 3:01:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know without actually getting into the position i mean you can say that for like

1401. 3:01:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript part and I think we ought to defeat the motion to postpone it and appoint this
