  22. 0:01:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Lenore Erickson.
  23. 0:01:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've been here before.
  24. 0:01:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've been here before.
  25. 0:01:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm talking about the same as I am.
  26. 0:02:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I always do.
  27. 0:02:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript First of all, I'd like to say, please stop taking the blame for Montgomery County taxes.
  28. 0:02:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We all know that their tax rate is unreasonable.
  29. 0:02:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2.1 mills, of which 0.4 is for the schools, and the rest is for Montgomery County.
  30. 0:02:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you have 190,000 people and half the mill rate.
  31. 0:02:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And yet, everybody's blaming you for the problems with taxes.
  32. 0:02:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, as long as you bail Montgomery County out, nobody will figure it out.
  33. 0:02:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anyway, to where I was going to talk.
  34. 0:02:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A year ago, the city borrowed 50 million, a third for capital projects, and two-thirds for paying the bills.
  35. 0:02:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Then, one month later, this city council refused to approve the mayor's budget.
  36. 0:03:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And increased property.
  37. 0:03:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And increased property taxes by only 0.4 mills.
  38. 0:03:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, last October, the city borrowed another 73 million.
  39. 0:03:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some was for refinancing bonds, some for capital projects, some for paying the bills.
  40. 0:03:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's be honest.
  41. 0:03:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When you borrow money for building a road, bondholders will ask a reasonable amount of interest.
  42. 0:03:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When you start to borrow money to cover excess expenditures over revenue,
  43. 0:03:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bondholders take notice and demand more interest.
  44. 0:03:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If the city council doesn't start providing enough revenue to meet their expenditures,
  45. 0:03:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the city's debt will spiral out of control.
  46. 0:03:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This city council needs to step up and provide a vision for Clark's future instead of living in the past.
  47. 0:03:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Pitts did that in 2020 with the street improvement plan.
  48. 0:03:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You funded it in 2022, but since then you have refused to increase revenues,
  49. 0:04:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so that we could borrow enough to fund the construction.
  50. 0:04:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Whitfield Road was supposed to be done in 2023.
  51. 0:04:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was finished in 2025.
  52. 0:04:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Tylertown Road has been at a standstill since last summer.
  53. 0:04:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Each year, you delay any of these capital projects, you are increasing costs.
  54. 0:04:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And with the war in Iran doubling the cost of asphalt,
  55. 0:04:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you will be hard-pressed to pay for Phase 2 construction of the Spring Avenue Parkway,
  56. 0:04:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript even though you've committed to having it ready for the VA hospital.
  57. 0:04:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Of the 58 capital projects you have announced, only 4 have been completed.
  58. 0:04:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Whitfield Road, Fire Station 6, the new parking garage and the L&N train station.
  59. 0:04:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You spent less than 10% of most of those 58 project budgets in this year.
  60. 0:04:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Seven projects are 60% complete because you announced them 5 years ago.
  61. 0:04:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In 2023, you promised a recreation center at the Speedway, but it hasn't even got a budget approved.
  62. 0:05:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The proposed fire and police stations are now closed.
  63. 0:05:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript improvements received no funding last year the flood remediation project spent
  64. 0:05:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 1 tenth of 1% of their budgets you've talked about rebuilding the Mason
  65. 0:05:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Rudolph golf course if you can't if the fees you assess can't recoup the cost of
  66. 0:05:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mason Rudolph in 10 years it is a waste of taxpayers money if you were to sell
  67. 0:05:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that land to developers you would have enough money to finish phase 2 of Spring
  68. 0:05:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Creek Parkway complete some of the flooding and remediation and some of the
  69. 0:05:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sidewalks you have promised and increase the risk city revenue enough to issue
  70. 0:05:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript government bonds to pay for more capital projects next week you will consider a
  71. 0:05:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript budget that raises taxes by 31 cents that is not enough to pay for what this
  72. 0:05:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript city leads and it is certainly not enough to finish any of the capital
  73. 0:05:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript projects you are have underway thank you we are now ready for mr. Ross st. Louis
  74. 0:06:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript mr. st. Louis if you would give us your name you have five minutes and pull
  75. 0:06:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that mic up so we can hear you all right my name is Ross st. Louis I am a
  76. 0:06:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript constituent for Ward 2 under mr. Eric Clonch who has been representing us
  77. 0:06:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript quite well first off I want to say thank you mr. mayor for providing the seats I
  78. 0:06:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't know about you guys but
  79. 0:06:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's kind of hard to get up from that chair with the arms on him so thank you
  80. 0:06:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for that for that accommodation so I'm here to talk about the fire department
  81. 0:06:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the police department their budgets just aren't enough for what they're what
  82. 0:06:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they need I mean just the other day we had a missing child and it took them
  83. 0:07:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript eight hours to find it to find him and
  84. 0:07:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript let me tell you that those guys were out there working I even saw Chief
  85. 0:07:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Berdine out there he was out there searching and let me tell you that's
  86. 0:07:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript great leadership right there but great leadership needs funding to go behind it
  87. 0:07:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in order to keep the officers and hire new officers so the police department
  88. 0:07:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript certainly doesn't get paid enough for what they're
  89. 0:07:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for what they're doing on the fire department side CFR just released their
  90. 0:07:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript monthly report from month of May they had 1816 calls and just in the month of
  91. 0:07:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript May alone 65% of those were first responder calls and as chief Montgomery
  92. 0:08:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript says he is in the process of cross-training and a lot of their
  93. 0:08:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript firefighters to become the first responders to get that to get that
  94. 0:08:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript little extra bump and pay because that's what that's what it is but even that
  95. 0:08:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript little extra bump and pages isn't enough for them I mean you look at these guys
  96. 0:08:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript compared to other cities these guys are not getting paid what they should be we
  97. 0:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cannot cut money from either budget in fact we need to increase it and I know
  98. 0:08:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's
  99. 0:08:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's
  100. 0:08:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript , it's hard to do that with the budget that we are working on right now and
  101. 0:08:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this budget is gonna be tough a lot of people are not up not happy about it at
  102. 0:08:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all but I think that we need to sit down and look at it and find out where it
  103. 0:08:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript needs to go the most there are a lot of streets that need extra work so the
  104. 0:09:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript street department needs it a lot of a lot of repairs
  105. 0:09:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have got to be done all throughout the city and each of these departments yeah
  106. 0:09:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they need the extra money and as much as I don't like seeing an increase in taxes
  107. 0:09:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sometimes it's necessary but I think we could do it more efficiently I think we
  108. 0:09:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript could do it the smart way instead of just one huge jump if it increases
  109. 0:09:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript slower over the time that would make more sense because
  110. 0:09:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yes cost of living goes up you know cost of groceries cost of gas everything's
  111. 0:09:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript always fluctuating so a smart increase would be better than just this huge jump
  112. 0:09:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I think that we need to sit down and really look at this budget and make some
  113. 0:09:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript smart decisions not just what's what people are against and what people are for
  114. 0:10:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we need to look at the facts what what department needs what what department
  115. 0:10:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript needs this this that the other we need to make smart decisions but just looking
  116. 0:10:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at this fire department and this police department they don't get paid enough
  117. 0:10:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they don't I pulled it I pulled numbers all throughout the United States the top
  118. 0:10:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript five cities and how much their firefighters and their police officers
  119. 0:10:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are getting paid
  120. 0:10:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript let me tell you Tennessee's are raking pretty low on that list there's states
  121. 0:10:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript out there that make 10,000 to 15,000 more a year each department for their
  122. 0:10:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript start and pay for their firefighters and their police officers and we've we've
  123. 0:11:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript got a we've got to keep this up we got to get them more paid because if we
  124. 0:11:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't we're gonna lose the good people
  125. 0:11:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you thank you next on the list is mr. Jimmy Phillips mr. Phillips if you
  126. 0:11:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would give us your name and you'll have five minutes sir my name is Jimmy
  127. 0:11:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Phillips and thank you for allowing me to talk to you tonight I'm not here to
  128. 0:11:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript throw any rocks or complain about any one particular thing I'd like to just
  129. 0:11:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript talk about some common-sense things and particularly the Swan Lake Golf Course
  130. 0:11:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the driving range
  131. 0:11:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't understand why the city is subsidizing golf in Clarksville to the 10 of 600,000 plus a year.
  132. 0:11:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I wish somebody would explain that to me.
  133. 0:12:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I live in a neighborhood of approximately 150 people.
  134. 0:12:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's four of us that play golf.
  135. 0:12:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why should my neighbor support me playing golf and pay for it?
  136. 0:12:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, I play a lot of golf, but I expect to pay when I go play golf.
  137. 0:12:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why are city employees, some of them making in excess of $80,000 a year, getting free golf or half-priced golf?
  138. 0:12:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Would somebody explain that to me?
  139. 0:12:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It doesn't make any sense to me.
  140. 0:12:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just common sense.
  141. 0:12:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, you've got a driving range over there that's open from 10 o'clock to 630.
  142. 0:12:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't understand that, but first of all, it doesn't get dark until 8.
  143. 0:12:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Most people would come out after 6 to hit balls, but over there you can't buy a bucket of balls after 6 o'clock.
  144. 0:13:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Would somebody explain that to me?
  145. 0:13:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Also, in being over there and watching what's going on just for a few minutes, you are not allowed to hit off the grass.
  146. 0:13:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anybody.
  147. 0:13:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anybody here that plays golf surely knows that if you're a good golfer, you don't want to hit off of mats.
  148. 0:13:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You want to hit off of grass.
  149. 0:13:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I found out that now we allow people to hit off grass starting last week.
  150. 0:13:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, my question to the man that worked over there, why are you not hitting off grass?
  151. 0:13:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He said the grass is too tender and too dry.
  152. 0:13:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, it looked better than my yard.
  153. 0:13:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, again, somebody needs to explain that.
  154. 0:13:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A good golfer wants to hit off.
  155. 0:13:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And a good golfer wants to be able to come out after dinner and hit a bucket of balls or two.
  156. 0:13:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To me, if you can't sell a thousand buckets, not a thousand, a hundred buckets of large balls every day for about 200 days of the year,
  157. 0:14:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's $200,000, you've got a real problem.
  158. 0:14:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The revenue over at Mason Rudolph has averaged $66,000 for the last three years.
  159. 0:14:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why is that?
  160. 0:14:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why is Swan Lake one of the highest places to play golf and yet it can't make money?
  161. 0:14:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Would somebody explain that?
  162. 0:14:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To my knowledge, Swan Lake has not made a profit in over 20 years.
  163. 0:14:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, I don't understand that.
  164. 0:14:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll give you an example of a senior rate at Swan Lake is $40.
  165. 0:14:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A senior rate at East Sun Green is $33.
  166. 0:14:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Weekdays is $45 at Swan Lake.
  167. 0:14:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's $38 at East Sun Green.
  168. 0:14:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Weekends is $55 at Swan Lake.
  169. 0:15:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's $48 at East Sun Green.
  170. 0:15:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Why is it not making money?
  171. 0:15:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The projected revenue this year in 2026 shows you're going to lose about $300,000 again.
  172. 0:15:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, that's...
  173. 0:15:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The only thing that I wanted to talk about, I know a little bit about golf,
  174. 0:15:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I wanted to ask some of you council people to please look at this
  175. 0:15:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and see if maybe it's not run properly.
  176. 0:15:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Maybe you've got a problem.
  177. 0:15:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you very much.
  178. 0:15:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.

  288. 0:37:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from what I can tell it's not because of what we're proposing it's always a
  289. 0:37:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript technicality and so the prayer tonight included a request for unity the reality
  290. 0:37:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is I'm hoping every single person on this board votes yes for our request
  291. 0:37:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tonight I hope every single one of you does there have been some concerns shown
  292. 0:37:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript some of those are with the c5 zoning the reality is I'm not really sure why
  293. 0:37:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript specifically
  294. 0:37:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about what could be there in the future the reality is I don't think anything
  295. 0:37:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is going to be of concern in the future is going to happen in the future
  296. 0:37:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript once we build what we're going to build and we are going to build it if you
  297. 0:37:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript allow us to nobody's gonna buy a five million dollar property with buildings
  298. 0:38:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on it to tear it down to build a I don't know it all change place or something
  299. 0:38:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like that they're not gonna do it it's not possible the money doesn't make
  300. 0:38:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sense it's not
  301. 0:38:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript economically feasible there was a concern about safety of the kids there
  302. 0:38:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are state regulations regarding the design now I didn't know this I've
  303. 0:38:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript learned a lot through this process but there are a lot of state regulations
  304. 0:38:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when it comes to daycare centers a lot that's why you don't hear about kids
  305. 0:38:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript getting hit at daycare centers it doesn't happen the design of this has
  306. 0:38:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript taken that into account our design before the regulations and the
  307. 0:38:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript regulations too
  308. 0:38:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so really I hope that's not a real concern I hope you find it to
  309. 0:38:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript vote for it and we're talking about over four acres of land in a commercial
  310. 0:38:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript corridor on a state highway less than half a mile from a major interstate
  311. 0:38:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript interchange this does not need to be a single house this needs to be a
  312. 0:39:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript development that serves the constituents of the ward that it's in and that's what
  313. 0:39:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what we're trying to do i don't have kids so i didn't think about a daycare center when i listed
  314. 0:39:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this property but now that one's been proposed it makes so much sense the mothers in that area
  315. 0:39:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript who have a kid that's not going to school yet but needs to go to daycare and a kid that goes
  316. 0:39:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to school and they need to go to work this property being next to the school is just perfect
  317. 0:39:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for that it's going to help those mothers deal with that every single morning it's going to give
  318. 0:39:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people jobs it's needed in the community the retail center is not going to have any uses that
  319. 0:39:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are going to be a detriment to the daycare it can't the daycare has to be successful it has to
  320. 0:39:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript be which means we can't have a pawn shop or a vape shop or a tobacco shop or any other gross thing
  321. 0:39:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in the front we can't for our economics to work
  322. 0:40:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so there's there have been concerns honestly i think we've addressed them all i hope we've
  323. 0:40:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript addressed them all if we hadn't i would like to be given an opportunity to do that
  324. 0:40:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i really i'm hopeful that when it comes time to make a motion
  325. 0:40:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're in ward 11 i'm hoping that the rest of the board allows mr shikinib to make the motion first
  326. 0:40:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and if he is in in favor of it
  327. 0:40:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to allow him
  328. 0:40:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as the elected official over that ward who knows his constituents best allow
  329. 0:40:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript him to make the first motion if it gets a second great if it gets approved great
  330. 0:40:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if it doesn't we'll back up and punt but I really do hope that we have addressed
  331. 0:40:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all the concerns I think we have and I really do hope there is unity and every
  332. 0:40:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript single person votes for it thank you Thank You mr. Parnell questions
  333. 0:40:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman treatment you're recognized yes hang on a minute mr. Parnell we got
  334. 0:41:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript questions first of all to clarify the process is and you'll hear me say this
  335. 0:41:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in a little while due to the recommendation of our legal counsel all
  336. 0:41:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript motions will be in the form of approval so when it's brought forward I'll be
  337. 0:41:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript making the motion for approval because that's what I'm required to do however I
  338. 0:41:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript will be voting against it I voted against it at the RPC
  339. 0:41:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I am
  340. 0:41:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I am
  341. 0:41:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not in favor of this being a c5 I said that already I spoke about it last week
  342. 0:41:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if this was just a daycare I wouldn't take issue with it but and you know that
  343. 0:41:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was why I'd previously tried to see if there was a way to bring it back forward
  344. 0:41:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where we could look at it as a PUD daycare only and work out something
  345. 0:41:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because like you said it would be convenient there with the school however
  346. 0:41:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the school's not gonna allow access to there so it's not like it's gonna be
  347. 0:41:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript easy to get in and out of there for parents that need to go to both so
  348. 0:41:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean there it can have to go up come back it all depends on which direction
  349. 0:41:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're going on whether or not it's gonna be easy or not and again with it
  350. 0:42:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript being anything beyond just a daycare the school system has already said no
  351. 0:42:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript connection would be allowed with that talking about it being a daycare there
  352. 0:42:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not you know in favor of it having the c5 right there in front I have talked
  353. 0:42:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to people because granted I know it is and Ward 11 but Ward 10 is right there
  354. 0:42:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as well and I have talked to residents in the area that do not want that
  355. 0:42:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript additional business being located heavily right along there when you've already got quite a bit
  356. 0:42:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right there so my vote's not going to change not a technicality i am not in favor of this and my
  357. 0:42:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript vote will stay that way so thank you you're welcome to address her concerns i didn't hear
  358. 0:42:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a question there it's not a matter of question comment or question okay fair enough councilman
  359. 0:42:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript shekinah you recognize this thank you mayor thank you sir for that presentation and i do support
  360. 0:42:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this and i spoke last week in favor of commercial development the constituents that i've spoken with
  361. 0:43:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and i've spoken with a lot of them off of rossary road and i live off of rossary road um and i along
  362. 0:43:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with many of them would love to see um things that we can go to on rossary road versus going to exit
  363. 0:43:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript four and things like that that that area the the traffic is not going to change in that area
  364. 0:43:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because you're talking about
  365. 0:43:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm off the interstate to a four lane and emerges into a one lane as we go further down on Rossview.
  366. 0:43:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So both ways, up and down Rossview until it's widened, we're going to have a problem there.
  367. 0:43:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I would like to see this versus in the future seeing some apartments get put up there.
  368. 0:43:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I strongly support it, and I encourage some of my fellow council members to support it as well.

  372. 0:43:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I just want to mention, I was the one that brought up about the traffic with the parking lot and the traffic there of businesses.
  373. 0:43:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, we got the email today that shows kind of the design.
  374. 0:44:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, and that does ease my mind a little bit on, you know, the path that the parents will be taking and where the kids will be dropped off.
  375. 0:44:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would think that on the back of the commercial retail side up front,
  376. 0:44:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's probably going to be employees.
  377. 0:44:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Employees parking won't be much traffic there where the kids are getting dropped off.
  378. 0:44:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I appreciate the email that shows some of the design.
  379. 0:44:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know we can't hold you to that design, but, you know, at least we see some good faith effort on showing what you're wanting to do.
  380. 0:44:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I appreciate that.
  381. 0:44:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  382. 0:44:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That is the design.
  383. 0:44:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Of course, you know, little things may change for engineering reasons, but that is the design.

  403. 0:45:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anyone in the audience wish to speak against Ordinance 82?

  405. 0:45:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript application of Todd Morris.
  406. 0:46:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is there anyone in the audience that wishes to speak in favor?
  407. 0:46:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Ross, if you would give us your name, and you have five minutes.
  408. 0:46:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  409. 0:46:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Stanley Ross.
  410. 0:46:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I represent the applicant, Mr. Todd Morris.
  411. 0:46:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We are here to ask the council to approve a rezoning request from M1 to a less intensive C5 use
  412. 0:46:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript over off of the business park off West Dunbar Cave Road.
  413. 0:46:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My client is asking for this because he's got a parcel there.
  414. 0:46:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He's already got it.
  415. 0:46:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He's got a couple of buildings there.
  416. 0:46:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're fairly new.
  417. 0:46:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He runs his office out of there.
  418. 0:46:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we feel like this is a more use that's in line with kind of what's over there, what is needed there,
  419. 0:46:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and additionally with the comprehensive growth plan and future land use map,
  420. 0:46:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which calls for a commercial-industrial hybrid in the area.
  421. 0:46:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like I said, Mr. Morris' office is over there.
  422. 0:47:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If he were to...
  423. 0:47:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And he's got a couple of buildings on that track, I think.
  424. 0:47:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If he were to bring a tenant in, we think like a C5-type tenant will be a lot more palatable
  425. 0:47:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to other businesses, including his own, as opposed to an M1 use.
  426. 0:47:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's why we're asking for that.
  427. 0:47:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would mention that this kind of seems to be where this area is moving.
  428. 0:47:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was a rezoning in the last six or 12 months out there, about two parcels down,
  429. 0:47:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that made the exact same request that the council approved.
  430. 0:47:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So given that we didn't have...
  431. 0:47:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Negative department comments, we're going to a less intensive use,
  432. 0:47:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and this is in line with that commercial-industrial hybrid area,
  433. 0:47:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we would ask you to approve our rezoning request,
  434. 0:47:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I'll be happy to answer any questions,
  435. 0:47:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript keeping in mind that we don't actually have a proposed use out there
  436. 0:47:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that would be speculative at this time.
  437. 0:47:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Ross.
  438. 0:47:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized. Called on: Jimmy Brown
  439. 0:47:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  440. 0:47:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, Mr. Ross, of course, this is in my ward, and I've driven by there quite a few times,
  441. 0:48:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so pretty much the way I understand it,
  442. 0:48:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're just wanting to be able to market it a little bit differently.
  443. 0:48:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  444. 0:48:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because those buildings are brand new, practically.
  445. 0:48:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't imagine them wanting to tear those down and do something different.
  446. 0:48:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, like you said, we just rezoned some to C5 just down from it,
  447. 0:48:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I don't...
  448. 0:48:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript At this moment, I don't see any reason to oppose it.
  449. 0:48:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not...
  450. 0:48:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not a manufacturing area anymore.
  451. 0:48:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Since we have the industrial park and all,
  452. 0:48:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this has quite changed that area a little bit.
  453. 0:48:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's just my comment on it.
  454. 0:48:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  455. 0:48:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  456. 0:48:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any other questions for Mr. Ross or comments?
  457. 0:48:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  458. 0:48:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  459. 0:48:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is there anyone else in the audience that wishes to speak in favor of Ordinance 83?

  497. 0:50:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  498. 0:50:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can someone tell me how far is this from Frost and Mullen,
  499. 0:50:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where we're thinking about putting the apartments down there for senior citizens?
  500. 0:50:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can someone tell me how far that's from there?
  501. 0:50:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, if you're a golfer, which we already heard from a golfer,
  502. 0:50:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's probably a one.
  503. 0:51:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One wood and a three iron, maybe, from Frosty Morn.
  504. 0:51:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So isn't that a lot across from the bowling alley?
  505. 0:51:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just up from the bowling alley,
  506. 0:51:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript across from, well, where they just tore down the old Red River block
  507. 0:51:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and near where Merritt Building Supply used to be, if that helps.
  508. 0:51:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What do they plan to build?
  509. 0:51:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have no, well, this has a building already on it.
  510. 0:51:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what are they wanting to do, Mayor?
  511. 0:51:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're just changing the zoning classification.
  512. 0:51:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For what reason?
  513. 0:51:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, that's a good question.
  514. 0:51:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I would say to give them a little more flexibility in this use.
  515. 0:51:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is it going to bring in more environmental industrial pollution?
  516. 0:51:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's what I want to know,
  517. 0:51:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because I know we want to build some senior citizens building not far from it.
  518. 0:51:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I know we don't need any more pollution down there
  519. 0:51:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if we're going to put these senior citizens down there.
  520. 0:51:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm not against building or something.
  521. 0:51:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just want to know if this is going to cause more environmental problems
  522. 0:51:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because we're trying to build sustainable neighborhoods.
  523. 0:52:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we don't want the environment to choke them out.
  524. 0:52:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mayor, may I interject?
  525. 0:52:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I just want to know.
  526. 0:52:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mayor, may I interject the comment here a minute?
  527. 0:52:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You sure can.
  528. 0:52:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My understanding is.
  529. 0:52:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hang on, just let me get you recognized.
  530. 0:52:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Your mic's on.
  531. 0:52:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My understanding is it's Brothers Tire Service.
  532. 0:52:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They've been in business quite some time
  533. 0:52:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and are just being asked to come into compliance with the zoning.
  534. 0:52:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, did you want to offer clarity?
  535. 0:52:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, I was.
  536. 0:52:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was waiting to say it's even stated right here in our packet that we received.
  537. 0:52:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's they're just the applicant statement is to make the current business compliant with zoning
  538. 0:52:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and conform with zoning in the general area.
  539. 0:52:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And as was stated from the previous council person, it's a tire shop.
  540. 0:52:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is just not allowing them to continue doing that.
  541. 0:52:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I know that the person asking this question had been concerned about the industrial zoning being nearby.
  542. 0:52:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is actually a downgrade going from M2 to C5.
  543. 0:53:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if you're saying it's a downgrade.
  544. 0:53:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is, yes.
  545. 0:53:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  546. 0:53:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  547. 0:53:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.

  571. 0:54:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  572. 0:54:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have already, of course, spoken against this last week.
  573. 0:54:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You heard my comments earlier in the public hearing session.
  574. 0:54:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, we did receive a set of plans.
  575. 0:54:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But as a reminder, they're not beholden to this.
  576. 0:54:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that he also stated when he was up here that they were looking to have five or six stores.
  577. 0:54:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yet, in the email that we received earlier,
  578. 0:54:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript today, it was, well, one medical office and maybe a coffee shop is what they had in mind.
  579. 0:54:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, once the zoning is through, there's no say up here as to what happens there.
  580. 0:54:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He even stated, too, well, there may have to be some changes with the design.
  581. 0:54:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I just want to make that perfectly clear.
  582. 0:54:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We cannot base our vote off of this because we don't get to vote on this at this level.
  583. 0:54:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is strictly just the zoning.
  584. 0:55:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, you're recognized. Called on: Tim Chandler
  585. 0:55:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  586. 0:55:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not belittling anybody.
  587. 0:55:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But when you ask a person that comes in to speak about something that's supposed to be this important,
  588. 0:55:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and how many children, I don't know, hold on, how many bitches up front, I don't know, hold on.
  589. 0:55:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm totally and completely against this.
  590. 0:55:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The reason why is every now and then.
  591. 0:55:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not very often, but every now and then, I drive this to go get on the interstate to go to Nashville.
  592. 0:55:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the time frame that parents are going to be dropping kids off,
  593. 0:55:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the time frame that they're going to be picking kids up,
  594. 0:55:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript will be real close to the time frames that schools are getting out.

  596. 0:55:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's say that somebody's unfortunate enough to have twins, that's 75 cars on the road.
  597. 0:56:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, well, five or six businesses up front.
  598. 0:56:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, like Councilwoman from Ward 10 said, once we approve this, you know, well, we can't say,
  599. 0:56:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript unless there's a law that covers it, we can't say, well, you can't put this in here.
  600. 0:56:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so we're kind of punching in the dark approving this.
  601. 0:56:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I've been against any development right here, all because of the amount of money that has been spent trying to,
  602. 0:56:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh, negate a lot of the traffic problems in the area.
  603. 0:56:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  604. 0:56:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  605. 0:56:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith, you're recognized. Called on: Wanda Smith
  606. 0:56:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  607. 0:56:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, I bet, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm for this because there was no, uh, citizens coming in to, uh, speak against this.
  608. 0:56:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think it's good.
  609. 0:56:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They do need a daycare center out there.
  610. 0:56:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's near school.
  611. 0:56:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, and most people pick their children up after the traffic is gone around 6 p.m. at these daycares.
  612. 0:57:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, uh, I don't see a reason to deny this.
  613. 0:57:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that, uh, it is a downgrade from Hart Industrial.
  614. 0:57:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is a C-5.
  615. 0:57:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, uh, I think.
  616. 0:57:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Point of information.
  617. 0:57:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized. Called on: Stacey Streetman
  618. 0:57:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  619. 0:57:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The previous one was a downgrade.
  620. 0:57:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is a change from R1 to C-5.
  621. 0:57:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  622. 0:57:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  623. 0:57:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith.
  624. 0:57:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  625. 0:57:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  626. 0:57:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But you just said over here at the last one we voted down, it was a downgrade on this C-5 highway and arterial commercial that we just voted on.
  627. 0:57:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We just talked about on Craft Street.
  628. 0:57:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was.
  629. 0:57:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, that's what I'm saying.
  630. 0:57:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, I think it's a downgrade here.
  631. 0:57:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It doesn't matter.
  632. 0:57:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The man is not going to, uh, put, uh, anything over here like a mechanic shop or anything like that.
  633. 0:57:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we do need that daycare center.
  634. 0:57:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, uh, you know, I didn't see any citizens coming up against this.
  635. 0:57:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we need to let this man build a daycare center because it is needed.
  636. 0:57:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh, you know, uh, that way we don't have to go across town.
  637. 0:58:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This will help parents.
  638. 0:58:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Parents who have students.
  639. 0:58:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Parents who have students at the school near, uh, where they want to build.
  640. 0:58:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh, so, um, I don't see no reason to deny this.
  641. 0:58:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think this man said he has tried to work with this council and, uh, meet all of the standards that we required.
  642. 0:58:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, uh, he's been before us, I believe before, if I'm not mistaken.
  643. 0:58:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, uh, I don't see why we keep denying something that we know, uh, is needed in this city.
  644. 0:58:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need daycares.
  645. 0:58:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, we have students, uh, going to school.
  646. 0:58:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's an elementary school right down the street from it.
  647. 0:58:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this would also be convenient for the parents who have to get the work, uh, of such.
  648. 0:58:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, uh, we need to think about this.
  649. 0:58:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If the citizens are not complaining against this, there was nobody against it.
  650. 0:58:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so I think we need to, uh, think about this.
  651. 0:58:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let the man build.
  652. 0:58:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He's trying to help, uh, parents who have single, uh, who are single parents, uh, trying to get to work.
  653. 0:58:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I don't think it's going to be that big of a difference when it comes to traffic.
  654. 0:58:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, you know, we're going to always have traffic.
  655. 0:58:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You ain't going to be able to stop traffic.
  656. 0:59:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's going to be something we're going to have for the rest of our life.
  657. 0:59:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't care what you do, how you fix it.
  658. 0:59:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're going to still have traffic.
  659. 0:59:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  660. 0:59:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, you're recognized.

  664. 0:59:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, you have a lot of residential areas right there.
  665. 0:59:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, you have the, even some of the, um, teachers, um, that may have children, um,
  666. 0:59:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are actually going to work.
  667. 0:59:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They can drop off their children right there.
  668. 0:59:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, the guys getting on the interstate that live in that area, uh, before school even starts, they can drop their children off at the daycare.
  669. 0:59:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, and the same thing when they come back from work.
  670. 0:59:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's convenient for a lot of the residents and for, for that part, um, I'm really for it.
  671. 0:59:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, and, and I hope, um, some of you all are for it as well.
  672. 0:59:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.

  675. 0:59:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just want to clarify for the public.
  676. 0:59:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's currently zoned R1, which is the lowest level of residential zoning that you can have.
  677. 1:00:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, C5 is the highest level of commercial that you can have.
  678. 1:00:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript M1 and M2, those are, uh, industrial uses, not residential and not, uh, commercial.
  679. 1:00:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, um, again, I'll say, had this just been a daycare, I would not have an issue with it, but it's the other components.
  680. 1:00:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There were other levels of commercial that could have been looked at beyond C5, but they chose to go with the absolute highest level, opening up any opportunity to go in there.
  681. 1:00:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's my two blacks at the apple.
  682. 1:00:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I won't speak on it again, sir.

  686. 1:00:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If it had just been a daycare center, I would be for it, but with the resident or the commercial building in front of it, it's no bueno.

  784. 1:09:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript R3, three family residential district.
  785. 1:09:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion been made. Do I hear a second?
  786. 1:09:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Second.
  787. 1:09:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Properly seconded. Councilman Clonch, you have the floor.
  788. 1:10:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I appreciate you guiding me through that. I'm fallible and I'm learning as we go, right?
  789. 1:10:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We all are.
  790. 1:10:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We are all not perfect.
  791. 1:10:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have received over the course of when this started at the RPC so many emails against this nearly daily from the residents in that.
  792. 1:10:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Area. I have previously utilized the conservation club, been up and down that road with a boat many times circa 2012 to about 2016.
  793. 1:10:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When this was brought up again, I understand we need housing. I also don't believe that $400,000 is affordable housing. I know that it was previously said it would be $340,000 to $360,000.
  794. 1:10:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The mean income of.
  795. 1:10:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Clarksville, Tennessee is between $38,000 and $41,000 per individual. Even if you go to family homes, that isn't affordable housing. So to say this is creating affordable housing, it is not.
  796. 1:11:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To also say that we need 78, 80 homes in that area with the road the way that it is, is not it. Understanding that the developer has conceded to invest more monies to widen the road.
  797. 1:11:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I believe, sir, there's some debate on the ability to do that with easements and who owns the land next to.
  798. 1:11:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was recently brought up to my attention within the last 36 hours about the grade and the winner and understanding that's a county road getting serviced and how individuals that live there already have to park at the bottom of the hill and a gentleman's construction office.
  799. 1:11:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So there's just so many issues.
  800. 1:11:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh, with the doubling the sigh are doubling the amount of, uh, homes to go up there. And I have received besides a previous, uh, ordinance. I have received more emails and calls about this specifically saying no road up there.
  801. 1:12:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A couple days ago, uh, and sat and parked and I know I used the term vibe previously, but it is.
  802. 1:12:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The conservation club for a reason. It is a small community.
  803. 1:12:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, we're not saying don't build houses. We're saying we don't need.
  804. 1:12:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 80 houses up there. The 42 or what is.
  805. 1:12:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sure my councilman from councilwoman from Ward 10 will clarify, but I believe it was 42 originally. That's 44. It's good enough, uh, as opposed to, to doubling that the cars, the traffic.
  806. 1:12:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I hadn't even talked about the bypass.
  807. 1:12:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all.
  808. 1:12:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
  809. 1:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Holloman on ordinance 58.
  810. 1:12:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh, yes, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor.
  811. 1:12:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  812. 1:12:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, um, just just a few points like the residents have been pretty vocal about it.
  813. 1:13:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They've they've, um, they would rather have not have the the road improvements and keep it the zone that it's currently at than for the zone to be changed and then have the road improvements.
  814. 1:13:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh, if you are turning out on the bypass, there is already kind of.
  815. 1:13:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's an unofficial area, but you can make a right hand to make a.
  816. 1:13:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript left already on on the bypass where that entrance is like a gravel gravel area and so it's um you
  817. 1:13:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript know we don't want the road improvements like that's just kind of what it boils down to like
  818. 1:13:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we we're done with these these houses and this development since higher density we have a 33
  819. 1:13:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tax increase coming up that we are arguing about and a lot of a lot of drama so here's something
  820. 1:13:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we all need to think about on the council okay so the reason we have a tax increase is
  821. 1:13:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because we've had this unbridled growth uh for so many years just constant grow grow grow so now
  822. 1:13:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript now we gotta propose a tax increase how is it fair for us to say okay yeah we need a tax increase
  823. 1:14:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're going to raise your taxes and then turn around and say oh well it's okay that it goes
  824. 1:14:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript higher density even though we're raising your taxes because we approved a bunch of high density
  825. 1:14:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript residential zoning and the roads are terrible and no one obeys traffic laws you know but uh but yeah
  826. 1:14:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we gotta we gotta approve this this higher density here you know
  827. 1:14:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's that's really the nature of it so really what we need to do is we either need to work on it
  828. 1:14:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on a reasonable tax increase in order to get the city stabilized and vote down all new high density
  829. 1:14:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript zonings because this high density zoning is what caused us to be in this tax crunch to begin with
  830. 1:14:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but but we do not need to be voting for this um let's see what else i got here
  831. 1:14:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and yeah i think that's i think that's about it thank you
  832. 1:14:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you
  833. 1:14:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you mayor um first of all i do want to make a clarification last week um when i was asking
  834. 1:14:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript questions of the street department i also asked a question of mr tyndall in the audience regarding
  835. 1:15:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the traffic assessment and whether it came it came back as an f i was incorrect in my question
  836. 1:15:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the answer i got was a yes so it was not the intersection is not an f it is an e which is
  837. 1:15:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a little less failing than f um mr tyndall did clarify when i clarified with him later
  838. 1:15:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that yes while it is an e that is still failing but it is only fair to get it put out there that
  839. 1:15:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it is an e not an f so i apologize for that misstatement um in regard to what we heard
  840. 1:15:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from mr smith even if this and off to answer the earlier question the question was how many homes
  841. 1:15:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the a the the the agent for this flat out said that what they would have to do to get it back
  842. 1:15:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if it was our one would be 40 homes they said they would stay to the 40 homes because that's what
  843. 1:15:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they had said if it wasn't rezoned they would build 40 homes in here so there's your answer
  844. 1:15:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from that one um however mr smith did say that it would be likely even with 40 homes that there
  845. 1:16:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would still need to be improvements to this road so it's not as though just just uh approving more
  846. 1:16:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript homes is gonna you know lead the way for improvements to occur along here but that it
  847. 1:16:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would be likely that any that
  848. 1:16:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript any development with 40 homes would also uh potentially lead to more development more
  849. 1:16:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript improvements along those roads he also talked to us about what would have to occur that it wouldn't
  850. 1:16:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just be within there and that there would have to be property purchased so i i appreciate that
  851. 1:16:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we've heard from every side here i was previously looking at this from if it was going to be able to
  852. 1:16:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript connect some other way then i thought it was going to be a way that this would be able to
  853. 1:16:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript work but with it connecting to that seven mile ferry road
  854. 1:16:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i cannot see where this would be uh advantageous to be able to have it back there and i know it
  855. 1:16:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was stated that let the developers be the one to make the improvements to the roads instead of the
  856. 1:17:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript taxpayers we're doing that there are different areas there's one that's been pushed back um
  857. 1:17:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at the rpc until we can get them to make some developments along there um then again that goes
  858. 1:17:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right along with what mr smith said last week that even with 40 homes we're going to require
  859. 1:17:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript some developments to come along there so
  860. 1:17:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my stance has not changed i'm still a no vote on this i was a no vote previously i'm a no vote this
  861. 1:17:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript month as well i just don't think this is right looking at this one parcel right here with that
  862. 1:17:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript connection going there as far back as it is and adding that level of traffic councilman chandler Called on: Tim Chandler
  863. 1:17:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you recognized thank you mayor right now i'm i i haven't pushed my button yet so
  864. 1:17:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i have a problem with the offer that the developer put out
  865. 1:17:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if we rezone it he will do x y and z my problem lies in that if we don't rezone it he's going to
  866. 1:18:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript come in there and do no more than he absolutely has to to save money and then where is that going
  867. 1:18:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to put the city and the street department uh you know this is a pretty big if uh if we turn it down
  868. 1:18:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he can still build 40 homes if we approve it he's going to build more and uh you know i'll take him
  869. 1:18:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript word that he's going to do the improvement so uh that's all i got to say mayor thank you
  870. 1:18:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman brown you recognized thank you mayor so you know we we a lot of times are asking Called on: Jimmy Brown
  871. 1:18:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript developers to help with the road improvements you know and i remember in the early 2000s when
  872. 1:18:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the state was going to widen raw
  873. 1:18:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript street road from interstate to 374 and everybody out there complained a lot about it the state took
  874. 1:18:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that money and went somewhere else guess who's having to fund it now you know we're having to
  875. 1:19:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript fund a lot of the road improvements on raw street road so this is an opportunity to where the
  876. 1:19:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript developer is you know saying he's going to do this and it's he's not from out of town he'll be back
  877. 1:19:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for more zoning
  878. 1:19:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you know if they don't stick to their word we remember that but it's an opportunity to get
  879. 1:19:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript some of that road widened i've pulled a boat down there to the conservation club this may widen the
  880. 1:19:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript front part of it but the back part's not going to change any as for it's not going to get widened
  881. 1:19:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript past there that's still going to be the same but this is an opportunity to help get some additional
  882. 1:19:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript area at the front more compatible
  883. 1:19:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to traffic to drive on thank you thank you any more comment or question regarding ordinance 58

  896. 1:21:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ahead and i decided to pull this one i do think we should vote it down if you look at the map
  897. 1:21:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the zones um we we've we've discussed in the past about finger zoning so like
  898. 1:21:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that this is an r1a and r1 area like across the road it's all our and in the subdivision that
  899. 1:21:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's in it's all r1 but if you look across the road there's a little bit of r1 and a little bit
  900. 1:21:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of r1a this is the this is the same kind of concept as like the finger development they
  901. 1:21:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just take one little finger and they on the map and they put it on the subdivision and then next
  902. 1:21:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thing you know then it's like r1a you got two fingers r1a oh look we got all kinds of r1a let's
  903. 1:21:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript let's just rezone the whole place r1a so then it goes to a higher density that that's typically
  904. 1:21:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what happens uh i did have a resident reach out and um he emailed me
  905. 1:21:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript an appraisal and i can pass this around if you want but um from from what i'm reading right here
  906. 1:21:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the on the appraisal and this is of the of the property but it says the the subject's current
  907. 1:21:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript value as is the current current as is value considering the highest and best use under
  908. 1:22:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript an extraordinary assumption that the lot can be subdivided into two r1 residential lots
  909. 1:22:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and so i'll just uh pass that around if you want to take a look at it but uh but i do feel like we
  910. 1:22:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript need to we need to vote it down
  911. 1:22:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because we do know like these these high density zonings they sprayed they spread like like plagues
  912. 1:22:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and so it's um you know we gotta we gotta stop the stop the plague so thank you
  913. 1:22:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman holloman on resident ordinance 75 excuse me you're right councilman streetman
  914. 1:22:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript excuse me sorry got my hair a little lighter um but all right all right i'm old okay i get it
  915. 1:22:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i do want to just remind everybody with this one and yes they're i mean
  916. 1:22:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's r1a right across the street as it currently stands as r1 it can actually be
  917. 1:22:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript divided into three lots three three lots that it can be divided into um if it were to be
  918. 1:23:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript rezoned as r1a it can be divided into three lots this does not change the number of lots that are
  919. 1:23:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript available it only changes how they can be done if they if it is left as an r1
  920. 1:23:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and divided into three lots as was stated and explained to us by the regional planning commission
  921. 1:23:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it would have to actually essentially be like a flag lot so you'd have two lots in the front
  922. 1:23:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and one lot in the back by rezoning it from an r1 to an r1a it would allow you to have three lots
  923. 1:23:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript side by side so that is the only there's no increase in density by going to this
  924. 1:23:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's going to be exactly similar to what you have across the street
  925. 1:23:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you have
  926. 1:23:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um and by across the street same street you're taking one of the streets you're taking to get
  927. 1:23:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript into that neighborhood so i i still say that this makes sense to make this move from r1
  928. 1:24:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the very next very small moderate step of r1a with the exact same density that's already
  929. 1:24:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript available today councilman holloman you recognize thank you mayor uh war 10 that was well spoken
  930. 1:24:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like that makes a lot of a lot of sense but uh but the thing is we we've all seen it up here
  931. 1:24:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that the finger on the on the
  932. 1:24:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript map you know one r1 r1a and another development goes oh i'm just going to do another r1a so i can
  933. 1:24:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript squeeze out another extra few lots on xyz lot that's next to it like we've seen this time and
  934. 1:24:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript time again and we know what's going to happen if this passes but that's all thank you councilman
  935. 1:24:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript claude you're recognized thank you mr mayor uh one-tenth council person for thank you because
  936. 1:24:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i do remember this at the rpc it is again three homes can be built it's are they flagged are they

  938. 1:24:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript potentially looking into the person's house behind me my backyard is their side yard that makes sense
  939. 1:25:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as opposed to having them dress right dress all lined up three houses three houses are they dress
  940. 1:25:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right dress or are they flagged that's all i have sir any more comment or question regarding

  955. 1:26:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um i spoke at length on this last week um so i'm not going to go over all the things that i talked
  956. 1:26:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about last week i just want to put a few highlights out there um each meeting here on the council we
  957. 1:26:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have a host of issues that we hear
  958. 1:26:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um every
  959. 1:27:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript week there are numbers numerous undertakings that we can engage in as individual council members
  960. 1:27:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript based on my monthly engagement on the parking commission over the past three plus years
  961. 1:27:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i truly feel that it is my duty to bring this important issue to the council
  962. 1:27:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we need to move forward because the current the current parking configuration
  963. 1:27:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript especially it being an enterprise
  964. 1:27:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is not
  965. 1:27:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript working it hasn't worked in since the years that I've been on it and if it's
  966. 1:27:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not working and I don't say anything then to me I failed in my duties but
  967. 1:27:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript again it's up to the council I have heard a lot of support about a needed
  968. 1:27:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript change some who have served as Commission's on the parking Commission
  969. 1:27:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've also heard some skepticism of not now by some every month on the parking
  970. 1:28:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Commission since I've been there we have business owners some on the Commission
  971. 1:28:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and some that attend and they address issues their concerns and as a
  972. 1:28:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript commission we've worked real hard to try to accommodate a lot of those concerns
  973. 1:28:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but seemingly we continue to fall short on that endeavor and again I asked my
  974. 1:28:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript myself what can be done to kind of put a fix to some of the things that we
  975. 1:28:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript really need to look at and do we did interviews as commissioners we did
  976. 1:28:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript interviews with various individuals that parked downtown some that work downtown
  977. 1:28:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we heard their concerns and gathered all the information so I don't feel that
  978. 1:28:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at this point we need a study of any type we've been studying this for years
  979. 1:28:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we even had the Desmond study and I think that's a good thing that we're
  980. 1:28:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trying to do but anyway I think we do have a need to know a little about the
  981. 1:28:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript development of the layout because there's better things that could happen
  982. 1:29:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I think you know I don't know if I have a full answer for this but I do
  983. 1:29:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think it's a great question so if I was in the department of housing this being
  984. 1:29:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a major challenge because I think people really need to get involved and it's
  985. 1:29:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's a lot of people so if I'm at the einfach point I think that I can
  986. 1:29:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript address some of the issues and I'll be able to answer those so what I've done
  987. 1:29:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the commission has continued to fall short.
  988. 1:29:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Therefore, it is my duty again to bring this to the next level,
  989. 1:29:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for the next level of engagement, which is the council.
  990. 1:29:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If, and I do see one amendment, which is good.
  991. 1:29:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I thought we'd have more by now, but one is still good.
  992. 1:29:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I really want to kind of praise those individuals
  993. 1:29:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that have served on the commission for many years
  994. 1:29:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that have worked to try to find solutions,
  995. 1:30:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript everything from Park Mobile, understanding how it works
  996. 1:30:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and putting that information out to the users,
  997. 1:30:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to trying to figure out how to best accommodate the businesses downtown.
  998. 1:30:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I hope you support this ordinance or an amendment thereof,
  999. 1:30:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we can go to the next step.
  1000. 1:30:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But again, this is not a one.
  1001. 1:30:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript . .
  1002. 1:30:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Fire and forget, this is not a fire and fixed,
  1003. 1:30:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because there are way too many issues concerning parking
  1004. 1:30:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for one ordinance like this to just fix automatically.
  1005. 1:30:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not going to happen.
  1006. 1:30:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But again, it's something that needs the council's attention.
  1007. 1:30:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's all I have there.
  1008. 1:30:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1009. 1:30:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Speaking of amendments, Councilman Marquis,
  1010. 1:30:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're recognized on your amendment.
  1011. 1:30:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1012. 1:30:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, so I do have the amendment.
  1013. 1:30:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is the green one, or the green lettered one,
  1014. 1:30:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so I guess to start, and then I'll explain.
  1015. 1:31:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'd like to make a motion for my amendment.
  1016. 1:31:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion made.
  1017. 1:31:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that my amendment?
  1018. 1:31:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion been made.
  1019. 1:31:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do I hear a second?
  1020. 1:31:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Properly seconded.
  1021. 1:31:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized on your amendment.
  1022. 1:31:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1023. 1:31:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So to start on the first page,
  1024. 1:31:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you will see in the green lettering that I took out the ten sections,
  1025. 1:31:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and there is twelve because I'm adding two sections,
  1026. 1:31:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript called accounting and you.
  1027. 1:31:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then on the second page,
  1028. 1:31:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there is the use of parking revenues and annual parking systems report.
  1029. 1:31:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On page three and the green lettering is what I am adding.
  1030. 1:31:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So in the previous ordinance that is striped out in red,
  1031. 1:31:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there is an accounting section that we are currently taking out.
  1032. 1:31:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I believe that we should have some form of accounting in this new form of ordinance here.
  1033. 1:31:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this, what I put in here,
  1034. 1:31:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is pretty much how,
  1035. 1:31:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript HOW REVENUES SHOULD BE UTILIZED, PRETTY MUCH LIKE DEV SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OF PARKING GARAGES
  1036. 1:32:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript OR SURFACE LOTS, AND KEEPING UP WITH THAT. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO FINANCE ABOUT THIS.
  1037. 1:32:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THEY TELL ME THAT THEIR SOFTWARE IS ALREADY SET UP. THEY CAN KEEP TRACK OF IT. IT'S NOT
  1038. 1:32:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript AN ISSUE ON THEIR PART TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL THAT IN ORDER. AND THEN TAKING ALL THAT
  1039. 1:32:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript DATA, MOVING IT ON TO THE SECOND SECTION THAT I'M ADDING IS THE ANNUAL PARKING SYSTEM
  1040. 1:32:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript REPORT THAT FINANCE WILL ESSENTIALLY PRESENT TO THE COUNCIL BECAUSE I BELIEVE WE SHOULD
  1041. 1:32:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BE TRANSPARENT ON ALL FUNDS. SO THEY WOULD TAKE THAT PREVIOUS DATA AND PRESENT IT TO
  1042. 1:32:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THE COUNCIL DURING THE MAY REGULAR SESSION, SO RIGHT BEFORE BUDGET, SO THAT WAY WE UNDERSTAND
  1043. 1:32:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript AND KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN TRANSPIRING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WITH REGARDS TO THE PARKING METERS,
  1044. 1:32:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THE GARAGES AND ALL OF THAT. SO THAT THE COUNCIL IS ALSO IN THE LOOP AS WELL AS PRESENTED
  1045. 1:32:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ANNUAL REPORT ON DEBT SERVICE RELATED TO PARKING. AND SO THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT I'M TRYING
  1046. 1:33:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript TO ADD IS KEEPING TRACK OF THAT DATA AND THAT THE COUNTY, THE COUNCIL IS IN THE LOOP OF
  1047. 1:33:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript KNOWING THAT INFORMATION. NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN STREETMAN
  1048. 1:33:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ON THE MARQUEE AMENDMENT. NEW SPEAKER YES, SIR. I APPRECIATE THE WORK
  1049. 1:33:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THAT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE US. THIS IS FIVE AND A HALF PAGES OF AMENDMENT TO THIS AMENDMENT
  1050. 1:33:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THAT WE JUST RECEIVED TODAY. AND THERE WAS ALREADY A LOT TO LOOK AT AND RESEARCH AND
  1051. 1:33:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript DIVE INTO WITH THE ORIGINAL CHANGE THAT WE HAD BEFORE US. I THINK I APPRECIATE THE WORK
  1052. 1:33:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BOTH INDIVIDUALS HAVE DONE, BUT I KNOW THAT WE ALSO HEARD FROM THE FORMER COUNCILPERSON
  1053. 1:33:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript DEANNA MCLOUGHLIN IN REGARD TO THE WORK THAT SHE HAD ORIGINALLY STARTED ON THE MARQUEE
  1054. 1:33:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript AMENDMENT. AND THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED EVEN WITH WHAT'S
  1055. 1:33:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE US. I'VE ALREADY STARTED HAVING SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE DOWNTOWN,
  1056. 1:34:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BUT I HAVEN'T HAD NEAR THE AMOUNT OF CONVERSATIONS I'D LIKE TO HAVE WITH EVERYBODY INVOLVED.
  1057. 1:34:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript SO FOR THE TIME BEING, UNTIL MORE CAN BE LOOKED AT AND WE CAN TRY AND FIND A MIDDLE GROUND,
  1058. 1:34:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BECAUSE I DON'T WANT US TO MAKE ONE FIX NOW AND THEN HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER CHANGE IN A
  1059. 1:34:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript FEW MONTHS AND THEN MAKE ANOTHER CHANGE. PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SAYING IT'S BEEN CONFUSING WITH
  1060. 1:34:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript DIFFERENT CHANGES THROUGHOUT FOR THE PARKING. SO THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR OVERNIGHT, AND
  1061. 1:34:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I DON'T THINK WE OUGHT TO TRY TO FIX IT OVERNIGHT. I'M MAKING A MOTION TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY.
  1062. 1:34:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript YOU'RE MAKING A MOTION TO POSTPONE THE AMENDMENT INDEFINITELY?
  1063. 1:34:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THE WHOLE THING. WELL, WE'RE ON THE AMENDMENT RIGHT NOW.
  1064. 1:34:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I KNOW, BUT I THOUGHT USUALLY IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD AMENDMENTS UP AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE
  1065. 1:34:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THE MOTION TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY. I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE THE AMENDMENT UP,
  1066. 1:34:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript AND IF IT PASSES OR FAILS, THEN WE CAN TAKE UP THE MOTION TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY.
  1067. 1:34:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript OKAY. OKAY.
  1068. 1:34:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript SO I DIDN'T HEAR A SECOND ON THE MOTION TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY.
  1069. 1:35:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript COUNCILMAN, YEAH, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT UP BECAUSE WE ARE ADDRESSING THE AMENDMENT.
  1070. 1:35:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript COUNCILMAN CHIKENOV ON THE AMENDMENT. YES.
  1071. 1:35:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND I THANK THE SPONSOR FOR THIS AMENDMENT,
  1072. 1:35:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BUT AGAIN, IF WE DO NOTHING, THEN NOTHING CHANGES.
  1073. 1:35:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THE DEBT THAT IS OVER $800,000 CONTINUES TO INCREASE EVERY MONTH.
  1074. 1:35:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript SO AGAIN, I FEEL THAT IT IS OUR DUTY TO DO SOMETHING, BUT TO DO NOTHING, JUST TO LAY
  1075. 1:35:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript AND WAIT, IS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER, AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP THE PEOPLE DOWNTOWN EITHER,
  1076. 1:35:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BECAUSE AGAIN, EVERY MONTH THEY COME IN AND THEY HAVE CONCERNS.
  1077. 1:35:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript SO AGAIN, I THINK WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING, AND SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING.
  1078. 1:35:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript AND AGAIN, THERE IS NO ONE FIX TO IT.
  1079. 1:35:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMISSION, AND
  1080. 1:35:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript WE HAVEN'T FIXED ALL OF THE ISSUES. SO THERE WILL BE NO ONE FIX TO PARKING IN
  1081. 1:35:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THE CITY, AND ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN. THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MAYOR.
  1082. 1:36:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN CLONCH, ON THE AMENDMENT.
  1083. 1:36:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK COUNCILPERSON

  1086. 1:36:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript IS THERE A WAY TO PUT A DEADLINE ON WHEN THIS GETS REVISITED?
  1087. 1:36:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript BECAUSE I DO AGREE THAT THIS HAS TO CHANGE. DOING NOTHING, I USED TO SAY THIS, IS
  1088. 1:36:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript DOING NOTHING, I USED TO SAY THIS, IS INSANITY.
  1089. 1:36:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript INSANITY. EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.
  1090. 1:36:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE COMMUNITY
  1091. 1:36:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript WITH CERTAIN ISSUES GETS UPSET WITH SOMETHING IS PROPOSED AS A CHANGE WHERE THE
  1092. 1:36:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CONVERSATIONS WITH MY COUNCIL, FELLOW COUNCILPERSON FROM AWARD 11 HAS SAT ON THAT
  1093. 1:36:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript COMMITTEE FOR THREE YEARS. I'VE HEARD HIM TELL ME I SAT IN MEETINGS

  1097. 1:37:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is there a way to put a we will revisit this at x date if we say two weeks that'll give us all
  1098. 1:37:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript time to study but we will look at this again in two weeks or three weeks or a month as opposed to
  1099. 1:37:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript let's just throw it in the wind and then we'll be having the same issue in six months the simple
  1100. 1:37:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript answer is yes you could you could motion to postpone to date certain or as has already been
  1101. 1:37:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stated earlier if it's postponed indefinitely then it would take a procedural maneuver to get it back
  1102. 1:37:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when we're ready to look at it
  1103. 1:37:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so you could put a deadline on it not right now because we're dealing with the amendment
  1104. 1:37:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yes sir or we can postpone it indefinitely or or none of the above does that answer your question

  1141. 1:40:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it has the whole, I don't know what I'm going to call it, the policy.
  1142. 1:40:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll say policy here.
  1143. 1:40:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But is this not changing or shifting from police to removing anybody?
  1144. 1:40:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know it's just an amendment, but it has the whole.
  1145. 1:40:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The amendment does not, but the ordinance as presented does.
  1146. 1:40:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It does?
  1147. 1:40:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  1148. 1:40:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  1149. 1:40:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  1150. 1:40:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1151. 1:40:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  1152. 1:40:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1153. 1:40:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're welcome.
  1154. 1:40:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, on the motion to postpone the amendment?
  1155. 1:40:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  1156. 1:40:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're recognized.
  1157. 1:40:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I think we should go ahead with the amendment, get that out of the way,
  1158. 1:40:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and added it to the resolution, and then I'm also in favor of postponing the resolution as amended.
  1159. 1:40:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that way it's all back into one paper and not.
  1160. 1:41:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not having to get amended again the next time when it comes back for that.
  1161. 1:41:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, I'll be against postponing the amendment, but I'll be for postponing the resolution as.
  1162. 1:41:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, on the motion to postpone the amendment?
  1163. 1:41:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1164. 1:41:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I really haven't had time to study this, and again, I agree 100% with Councilman from Ward 11.
  1165. 1:41:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Something needs to be done.
  1166. 1:41:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we need to – this problem's been going on for years, you know,
  1167. 1:41:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript back when they're parking the mules downtown.
  1168. 1:41:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we're going to take this in less than a month and try to straighten it out.
  1169. 1:41:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So far what I've read, this amendment is well written.
  1170. 1:41:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have no problems with it whatsoever.
  1171. 1:41:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I want to make sure that we go from step to step to step.
  1172. 1:42:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And get one good plan in.
  1173. 1:42:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's no reason why we can't postpone the amendment until July meeting.
  1174. 1:42:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then postpone the ordinance until July meeting.
  1175. 1:42:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And take them both up at the same time.
  1176. 1:42:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That gives everybody on this council the opportunity to look at this, talk with the chief of police,
  1177. 1:42:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript talk with the city attorney, whoever you need to talk to.
  1178. 1:42:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But don't do it so quick that in six months we're coming back in going,
  1179. 1:42:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript oh, Lord, what did we do?
  1180. 1:42:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1181. 1:42:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1182. 1:42:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Of course, it's the first reading of the ordinance.
  1183. 1:42:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have a second reading next month.
  1184. 1:42:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I understand.
  1185. 1:42:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized. Called on: Stacey Streetman
  1186. 1:42:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1187. 1:42:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I agree with the council member from Ward 9.
  1188. 1:42:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, I say we either voted up or down on the amendment.
  1189. 1:42:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The thing is, it is an amendment.
  1190. 1:42:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if I'm incorrect, legal can correct me on this.
  1191. 1:43:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the Roberts rule.
  1192. 1:43:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Roberts rule is not going to apply to that, which means even if we voted it down now,
  1193. 1:43:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that amendment could come back before us again whenever this was taken back up.
  1194. 1:43:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think trying to put, I mean, you've already heard that I said I'm going to make a motion,
  1195. 1:43:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whether it's me or if it's someone else, to do it indefinitely until we know it's ready to bring back
  1196. 1:43:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so that we're not doing something now and doing something again later.
  1197. 1:43:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, like I said, my thought is we vote this up or down now rather than postponing this to July.
  1198. 1:43:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then if the next thing.
  1199. 1:43:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If the next thing gets postponed longer than that, I don't know how that theoretically would work out.
  1200. 1:43:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shaquina, on the motion to postpone the amendment to July 2026.
  1201. 1:43:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, I'm in favor of postponing the amendment until July.
  1202. 1:43:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think doing nothing is the right answer, especially when we see the problem.
  1203. 1:43:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm in favor of postponing until July.
  1204. 1:43:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  1205. 1:44:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question, Councilman Smith?
  1206. 1:44:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're recognized on the motion to postpone until July.
  1207. 1:44:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, okay.
  1208. 1:44:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, okay.
  1209. 1:44:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, I agree with him.
  1210. 1:44:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It needs to be postponed to July because I'm sitting here thinking now,
  1211. 1:44:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are we going to put this in the hands of the police?
  1212. 1:44:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know hers is about finance.
  1213. 1:44:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are we going to put this in the hands of the director?
  1214. 1:44:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He's going to keep it.
  1215. 1:44:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He's going to leave.
  1216. 1:44:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What are we doing?
  1217. 1:44:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we really need to look at this ordinance and rethink research
  1218. 1:44:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and come up with a solution that's going to work for this city.
  1219. 1:44:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1220. 1:44:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question regarding the motion to postpone?
  1221. 1:44:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The amendment until July regular session 2026.
  1222. 1:44:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I see none.
  1223. 1:44:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Second.
  1224. 1:44:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are you ready to vote?
  1225. 1:44:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Madam Clerk, you got us teed up.
  1226. 1:44:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  1227. 1:44:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're voting on the motion to postpone until July.
  1228. 1:44:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  1229. 1:44:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  1230. 1:44:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Here we go.
  1231. 1:45:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Madam Clerk, please take the vote.
  1232. 1:45:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Nine yes, four no, zero abstain.
  1233. 1:45:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  1234. 1:45:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The marquee amendment is postponed until the July regular session.
  1235. 1:45:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we're back on the ordinance.
  1236. 1:45:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As proposed, Councilman Brown, you are recognized on Ordinance 76.
  1237. 1:45:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Five, four.
  1238. 1:45:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One of those.
  1239. 1:45:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Whichever one.
  1240. 1:45:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just pick one.
  1241. 1:45:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, I'm not going to make the motion yet
  1242. 1:45:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because I want to make a comment first before the postponement.
  1243. 1:45:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the issue I have is, you know, the information I got from the attorney's office is,
  1244. 1:45:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if the goal is to have parking citations enforceable in city court,
  1245. 1:45:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript then it's going to have to be a sworn officer that issues those citations.
  1246. 1:45:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So when you have a citation going to city court, it's no longer a $40 ticket.
  1247. 1:45:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, going to city court has court costs,
  1248. 1:46:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that ticket can end up being $140.
  1249. 1:46:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not sure what the fee is right now for the court cost and the fines.
  1250. 1:46:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But also not.
  1251. 1:46:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not in favor of having certified sworn officers going around downtown writing parking tickets.
  1252. 1:46:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the way the state law is right now, that's the way it looks.
  1253. 1:46:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would have to be done, you know, without some changes.
  1254. 1:46:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's my comment at this moment.
  1255. 1:46:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Klotz, you're recognized on the ordinance.
  1256. 1:46:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Mayor, I'm going to try to get this right.
  1257. 1:46:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I move that we postpone this to the July.
  1258. 1:46:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Regular session.
  1259. 1:46:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Regular session.
  1260. 1:46:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion made.
  1261. 1:46:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And properly seconded.
  1262. 1:46:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We postponed.
  1263. 1:46:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It passed to postpone the amendment until July.
  1264. 1:47:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, it's confusing.
  1265. 1:47:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I get it.
  1266. 1:47:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  1267. 1:47:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we've got a motion to postpone the ordinance 74 until the July 2026 regular session.
  1268. 1:47:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Klotz, you have the floor.
  1269. 1:47:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  1270. 1:47:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  1271. 1:47:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is that it?
  1272. 1:47:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And properly seconded.
  1273. 1:47:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah.
  1274. 1:47:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On the motion.
  1275. 1:47:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On the motion to postpone the ordinance until July.
  1276. 1:47:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  1277. 1:47:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm good with that.
  1278. 1:47:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I'd also like to challenge the council members here to do due diligence in speaking
  1279. 1:47:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and come back with some solutions versus saying it's not going to work because it's not working now.
  1280. 1:47:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So to say it's not going to work is not the answer.
  1281. 1:47:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1282. 1:47:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized on the motion to postpone.
  1283. 1:47:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'd like to amend the motion to postpone to July to amend it to postpone indefinitely,
  1284. 1:47:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript keeping in mind.
  1285. 1:47:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That the July meeting we'll be bringing it back to will be the beginning of July.
  1286. 1:47:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this month of June, we've got several sessions to work on the biggest thing that we have to work on all year,
  1287. 1:47:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is the budget.
  1288. 1:48:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I would love us to really dig in and spend as much time as possible working on that first.
  1289. 1:48:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so that's why I make the motion to postpone indefinitely until something's ready to come back to us.
  1290. 1:48:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion been made and properly seconded to postpone ordinance 74 indefinitely.
  1291. 1:48:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clonch, you're recognized on the motion to postpone indefinitely.
  1292. 1:48:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If we keep kicking this rock down the road, we're never going to address it.
  1293. 1:48:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We get paid to make decisions on this council.
  1294. 1:48:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Period.
  1295. 1:48:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That gives us a month to do our due diligence in the budget,
  1296. 1:48:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to talk to our constituents, to reach out to the community.
  1297. 1:48:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We cannot continue to kick this down the road.
  1298. 1:48:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have, sir.
  1299. 1:48:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, on your motion.
  1300. 1:48:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't consider us continuing to kick it down the road.
  1301. 1:48:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the first time it's come before us.
  1302. 1:48:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not as though we just had this before us a few months ago.
  1303. 1:49:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm well aware of all the work that we have to do.
  1304. 1:49:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do my due diligence.
  1305. 1:49:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do lots of research on anything before I come up here.
  1306. 1:49:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm just saying that I've even had people from the community say,
  1307. 1:49:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why are you all looking at this right now when really the biggest thing you need to be focusing on is the budget?
  1308. 1:49:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again,
  1309. 1:49:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm hoping lots of people are spending a good amount of time digging into that budget
  1310. 1:49:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because there's a lot that we've got to look at when we get ready to vote on this here starting in just next week.
  1311. 1:49:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's the only reason.
  1312. 1:49:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you want to look at it in two months from now, look at two months from now.
  1313. 1:49:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But right now I stay with the postponing indefinitely
  1314. 1:49:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and allowing us to make sure we gather the information that's needed, including talking to MTAS.
  1315. 1:49:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We all received the email today from Councilperson McLaughlin.
  1316. 1:49:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think there's a lot of things that we can look at.
  1317. 1:49:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I feel like we ought to get this right.
  1318. 1:49:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is not a new issue, but I think we should put the right amount of time
  1319. 1:49:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript into making sure we get this right on the first go around rather than continuing to make changes to it.
  1320. 1:50:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's where I feel on it.
  1321. 1:50:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, I'm going to put my first and foremost attention to that budget.
  1322. 1:50:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Claught, you're recognized.
  1323. 1:50:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  1324. 1:50:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If it's not a month, let's just set a date.
  1325. 1:50:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Postpone indefinitely means it's out there forever.
  1326. 1:50:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I also.
  1327. 1:50:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do my due diligence and research.
  1328. 1:50:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I was that was not a personal attack.
  1329. 1:50:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was just that if we don't have a date, then we won't address it until it becomes a bigger problem again.
  1330. 1:50:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if it's not a month, let's make it two months.
  1331. 1:50:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But let's put a mark on the wall.
  1332. 1:50:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I make a motion for August.
  1333. 1:50:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know when the meeting is in August.
  1334. 1:50:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The August session in August to reevaluate.
  1335. 1:50:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, let's yeah.
  1336. 1:50:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler point of order right now.
  1337. 1:50:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have three motions on the floor, which I think if you check with our legal department, you can't have three on the floor.
  1338. 1:51:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, I don't I don't have to check with him.
  1339. 1:51:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can I can read his vibe coming over there.
  1340. 1:51:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can't.
  1341. 1:51:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we'll that motion would be out of order.
  1342. 1:51:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we'll have to deal with the motion to postpone indefinitely.
  1343. 1:51:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I got that.
  1344. 1:51:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And apologies.
  1345. 1:51:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, none needed.

  1348. 1:51:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  1349. 1:51:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just have a quick question.
  1350. 1:51:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Since my amendment was postponed until July, let's say this gets postponed indefinitely at the July regular session.
  1351. 1:51:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What's going to happen with my amendment if there is no main ordinance to.
  1352. 1:51:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, it's an orphan.
  1353. 1:51:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It'll it will have to be dispatched.
  1354. 1:51:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So merely we'll have to deal with that.
  1355. 1:51:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Procedurally, Mr.
  1356. 1:51:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Bittner, I believe in July.
  1357. 1:51:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman, she came up.
  1358. 1:51:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You recognized this motion to postpone indefinitely.
  1359. 1:52:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, I'm totally against that.
  1360. 1:52:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm on this commission.
  1361. 1:52:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I feel the business is paying every month.
  1362. 1:52:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I feel the commissioners paying every month.
  1363. 1:52:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Parkers, they're paying every month.
  1364. 1:52:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Something needs to be done and we need to look at this thing.
  1365. 1:52:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith on the motion to postpone indefinitely.
  1366. 1:52:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think we need to postpone this indefinitely.
  1367. 1:52:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we have work to do.
  1368. 1:52:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have already had a review of our budget in May and we have plenty of time to look at it.
  1369. 1:52:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have two meetings set for June also to look at the budget and give our due diligence of what we want to happen, what we don't want.
  1370. 1:52:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then we have another date set up in June.
  1371. 1:52:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we've had plenty of time to look at this budget.
  1372. 1:52:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's been before us since May.
  1373. 1:52:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I think we don't need to postpone this ordinance.
  1374. 1:52:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Indefinitely.
  1375. 1:52:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we need to do something now.
  1376. 1:52:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Make it happen.
  1377. 1:52:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to quit putting stuff on hold.
  1378. 1:52:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to move forward.
  1379. 1:53:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1380. 1:53:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1381. 1:53:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question about this?
  1382. 1:53:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Without a doubt, there are some considered opinions that are floating around and we need to consider that.
  1383. 1:53:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I agree with the majority that I've heard so far.
  1384. 1:53:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to set a marker and take it up.
  1385. 1:53:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But.
  1386. 1:53:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We do need to work on this ordinance a little bit, too.
  1387. 1:53:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So anyway, any more comment or question regarding the motion to postpone indefinitely?
  1388. 1:53:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Seeing none, we're voting on the motion to postpone Ordinance 74 indefinitely.
  1389. 1:53:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All members, please cast your vote.

  1396. 1:53:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clonch, I was waiting on you.
  1397. 1:53:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right, you're recognized.
  1398. 1:53:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  1399. 1:53:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I propose we postpone it till the July meeting.
  1400. 1:54:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion been made and properly seconded to postpone Ordinance 74 till the July 2026 regular session.
  1401. 1:54:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized on the motion.
  1402. 1:54:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was the motion we were already on.
  1403. 1:54:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I thought the statement was that we were going to look at postponing it to the August session.
  1404. 1:54:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That if one month wasn't enough, that we would look at the two months.
  1405. 1:54:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we couldn't go any deeper.
  1406. 1:54:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Than what we were already at.
  1407. 1:54:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the motion that was already on the floor was the motion to postpone it to July.
  1408. 1:54:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If that's not amended, then I make the amendment that we move it to August.
  1409. 1:54:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, motion been made to amend the amendment to August 2026 regular session.
  1410. 1:54:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Did I get it right?

  1415. 1:54:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, I don't think we should delay this two months because two months is going to turn into three months.
  1416. 1:54:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then.
  1417. 1:54:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Four months.
  1418. 1:54:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, I'm on that commission.
  1419. 1:54:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're still going to be meeting and we're still going to be hearing the same problems, the same pain.
  1420. 1:55:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Nothing is going to change.
  1421. 1:55:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to act on this.
  1422. 1:55:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.

  1494. 1:59:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript vote no on this one and at the surface it looks like it's okay this is doing a
  1495. 1:59:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript lot more than just adding one holiday this is increasing vacation time and we
  1496. 1:59:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript do not have the financial numbers on how that's going to affect overtime for our
  1497. 1:59:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript minimum staffing departments and going into budget season with the tax increase
  1498. 1:59:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we need to have those numbers in place the other thing that I don't like about
  1499. 1:59:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this
  1500. 1:59:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is it also changes how bereavement leave is going to be addressed so if we have an
  1501. 1:59:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript employee who is needing time for a funeral or sickness in their family
  1502. 1:59:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript instead of going to their department head their boss now they have to take
  1503. 1:59:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the extra step to go to HR so for those three reasons I'm against this name
  1504. 1:59:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hoping you all will vote no councilman Streetman you recognized on this
  1505. 1:59:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ordinance I spoke on this last week and at the finance one of the issues I have
  1506. 1:59:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is in
  1507. 1:59:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript regard to adding yet another holiday to it so if this should pass first reading
  1508. 2:00:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that is likely something I will bring back as an amendment for the second
  1509. 2:00:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript reading however in regard to the way their vacation is going to be a crude
  1510. 2:00:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that was probably the number one item that the city employees had with their
  1511. 2:00:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that the city employees had with their kind of wish list of what they prefer
  1512. 2:00:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're already talking about in this budget that they're not going to get their wage increase until the beginning of the year.
  1513. 2:00:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've heard from different department heads the issues they have with retention.
  1514. 2:00:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We got the numbers as well that kind of show us that two- to five-year mark is our hardest area to be able to retain employees.
  1515. 2:00:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And in regard to losing those employees after we've spent the money, training them, getting them what they need for that role,
  1516. 2:00:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to then turn around and lose them and have to spend that money again on the front end,
  1517. 2:00:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it makes that even more expensive to continue to have to fill those positions.
  1518. 2:01:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the vacation time and being able to work that in a better way, I think the department heads are probably the most supportive of overall.
  1519. 2:01:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've heard from several of them that have heard me speak.
  1520. 2:01:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In regard to it, and they said that is one of the biggest components of this and something that they need to try and retain their employees.
  1521. 2:01:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that part, like I said, I'm supportive of in realizing what we need.
  1522. 2:01:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it doesn't shut down business from occurring because with the holidays, as I talked about, that stops any business citizens are able to do.
  1523. 2:01:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the other way, it does not.
  1524. 2:01:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, again, should this pass first reading, I will bring back an amendment to keep us at the number of holidays we're currently at.
  1525. 2:01:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Cool.
  1526. 2:01:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized on this ordinance.
  1527. 2:01:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, thank you.
  1528. 2:01:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So something that I did notice about the data is that I believe it's incomplete.
  1529. 2:01:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We got information on the amount of separations that the city has had over different years.
  1530. 2:01:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the issue is that separations, there's three different types of separations.
  1531. 2:02:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have the ones who quit, the ones who get fired, and the ones who retired.
  1532. 2:02:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All three of those categories are added all together to get these numbers.
  1533. 2:02:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if we're trying to retain employees, we need to figure out.
  1534. 2:02:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How many of them actually quit?
  1535. 2:02:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How many were fired and how many retired?
  1536. 2:02:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because it's not going to help us to add these extra benefits if you have a section of them that we're firing them.
  1537. 2:02:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not going to change whether they want to stay with us or not.
  1538. 2:02:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And for that, you know, we're adding, again, as it was mentioned, to the budget and increasing that without really having accurate data to determine what that number really looks like.
  1539. 2:02:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what other avenues we have to retain our employees.
  1540. 2:02:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because there are people who.
  1541. 2:02:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Love their job, but it might be a conflict between personnels that they leave.
  1542. 2:02:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It might be, you know, other reasons.
  1543. 2:02:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's not just the benefits package.
  1544. 2:02:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that we need to have better data in order to make a better assessment on what's happening here within the city.
  1545. 2:02:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1546. 2:03:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized. Called on: Keri Lovato
  1547. 2:03:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1548. 2:03:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just want to elaborate on the incomplete data that the Councilman from Ward 5 was referencing.
  1549. 2:03:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Not only do we not understand everything.
  1550. 2:03:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The request was made that we get the results of that survey so that we could see which department was requesting vacation time versus increase in their pay.
  1551. 2:03:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we did not receive that.
  1552. 2:03:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we also don't know that information.
  1553. 2:03:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the biggest factor is this will be a financial impact.
  1554. 2:03:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We will see an increase in overtime and salary budgets.
  1555. 2:03:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we do not have those numbers.
  1556. 2:03:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we cannot go into budget season and smartly talk about this with this.
  1557. 2:03:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And in front of us.
  1558. 2:03:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm asking you to vote no on this.
  1559. 2:03:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And maybe we can see it again at a later date.
  1560. 2:03:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  1561. 2:03:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized. Called on: Jimmy Brown
  1562. 2:03:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1563. 2:03:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I believe our amendments have to be in writing, correct?
  1564. 2:03:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  1565. 2:03:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if this does pass on this first reading, I'll probably have an amendment for its second reading.
  1566. 2:04:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just going from 10 years to three years is a big drop in the approval times.
  1567. 2:04:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think if we kind of not necessarily in the middle, but, you know, went to five years instead of the three, because a lot of them are leaving at three.
  1568. 2:04:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're going to get that time and then leave right then anyway.
  1569. 2:04:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, at least somebody invest five years into a business.
  1570. 2:04:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, I could have left where I'm at at five years and went to a state agency.
  1571. 2:04:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I'm like, I'm already five years in.
  1572. 2:04:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Am I going to have to start over, you know, towards some time?
  1573. 2:04:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, I'm I'm.
  1574. 2:04:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just.
  1575. 2:04:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just thinking in the middle there somewhere.
  1576. 2:04:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if if this does pass at this point, then I'll more than likely have an amendment to change that three years to five years, because that is going to be a cost.
  1577. 2:04:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we want to be able to see what that cost would be.
  1578. 2:05:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, you're recognized. Called on: Tim Chandler
  1579. 2:05:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1580. 2:05:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was working for the city when the 10 year thing was put in and it was put in to reward the people for staying.
  1581. 2:05:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I agree with Councilman Brown.
  1582. 2:05:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to stop, step back and look at that.
  1583. 2:05:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right now, I'm not going to mention which department I talked to an employee of a department today, and they are short, so shorthanded.
  1584. 2:05:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm talking about emergency services.
  1585. 2:05:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's the shorthanded.
  1586. 2:05:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That.
  1587. 2:05:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There happened to double up on calls.
  1588. 2:05:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And.
  1589. 2:05:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, there's also some language in here that gives human resources, I think, and even went to the point of saying that the Finance Committee could make a determination.
  1590. 2:06:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think one of them was in the they don't call it maternity leave anymore, but that's set out in state and federal law.
  1591. 2:06:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So why do we need to put in there?
  1592. 2:06:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mayor that one of our
  1593. 2:06:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript agencies can
  1594. 2:06:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript make a determination, you know, and again, I think I said this last week, you're going to bring it to me for a vote in this council for a vote, then anything major changes in it should be made by this council.

  1636. 2:08:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A resolution of the city council of the city of Clarksville.
  1637. 2:08:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Tennessee approving an economic impact plan for the St.
  1638. 2:08:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thomas Hospital development area and adopting designated area policies and procedures.
  1639. 2:08:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Finance Committee recommended approval and ISO move motion been made and properly seconded in favor of this resolution.
  1640. 2:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you have an amendment you recognize.
  1641. 2:08:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, I do.
  1642. 2:08:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And just to start, this has been a lot of conversations back and forth between different attorneys, our EDC and IDB.
  1643. 2:08:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And ultimately what I want to do is I want.
  1644. 2:08:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I want to make sure that a portion of the TIF money that the city receives goes into a fund to for for maintenance of the future.
  1645. 2:08:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So right now, the hospital is going to be putting in infrastructure 20 years down the line.
  1646. 2:08:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That infrastructure will need to be upgraded, need to be repaid.
  1647. 2:09:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to the city will have to pay for that.
  1648. 2:09:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I want to utilize part of the TIF, set some money aside so that way when the time comes, we have the funds available.
  1649. 2:09:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To work on that infrastructure ultimately.
  1650. 2:09:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So on the back of the first page is what it is in the blue ink that we'll be taking the 20% of our allocated amount of the TIF and setting that aside for the purpose of maintenance and repair.
  1651. 2:09:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then the rest of it is the main economic plan.
  1652. 2:09:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that language is written in on page four in that blue section.
  1653. 2:09:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's again the same thing.
  1654. 2:09:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's it puts in that revenue until funds.
  1655. 2:09:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we have money.
  1656. 2:09:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, taking into account the situation with our budget, I'm just trying to think ahead into the future.
  1657. 2:09:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We know this is maintenance of infrastructure that needs to be done.
  1658. 2:09:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We need to have funds.
  1659. 2:09:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's do this now.
  1660. 2:09:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so I'd like to make a motion for my mom.
  1661. 2:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
  1662. 2:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I was waiting on that. All right.
  1663. 2:10:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sorry.
  1664. 2:10:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion's been made.
  1665. 2:10:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do I hear second properly seconded Councilman Brown on the marquee amendment?
  1666. 2:10:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  1667. 2:10:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the way it looks is, you know,
  1668. 2:10:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for future maintenance, repair, rehabilitation or replacement of public infrastructure associated with the development area.
  1669. 2:10:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The way I saw it was all that inside there is going to be their private property.
  1670. 2:10:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That will not be our infrastructure inside of that area itself.
  1671. 2:10:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So where was this fund going to be set aside to work on?
  1672. 2:10:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you can take it or I will.
  1673. 2:10:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they are building a road and a part of the I don't think I have it in front of me.
  1674. 2:10:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One of the slides that they sent us gave the cost breakdown of all the type of infrastructure that they're putting there, widening a road that's out there.
  1675. 2:10:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's a traffic light that's going to be put out there.
  1676. 2:11:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then there's also, I believe, a new road that's going to be put out there that because we annex them into the city, it becomes our responsibility to take care of maintain.
  1677. 2:11:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's what this is essentially.
  1678. 2:11:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If they turn that road.
  1679. 2:11:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Over to us that they build.
  1680. 2:11:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, and their plan is to build it to the city specifications and it will become a public street and public infrastructure.
  1681. 2:11:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, so my next question is, you know, so we set that aside, you know, but there's no end date for when that money is going to be set aside that would actually come back to where we could use it for general fund.
  1682. 2:11:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just 20% for as long as they have.
  1683. 2:11:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is associated with the TIF.
  1684. 2:11:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The TIF is 20 years long.
  1685. 2:11:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So for 20 years, we'll take 20% of our cut of it to set aside that will not be able to be used for any of the community around it to help the infrastructure around there.
  1686. 2:12:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It only be for the infrastructure that they put in.
  1687. 2:12:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's where I have a problem is it's restricted.
  1688. 2:12:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just.
  1689. 2:12:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To that, where those roads aren't going to need any help for 20 years, but the roads around it where the people are coming to and from there, we can't use that money toward it.
  1690. 2:12:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, for that, I'd rather see the money be set aside for infrastructure in general than just for the roads that they're going to build inside that area that we won't have to touch for a number of years.
  1691. 2:12:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
  1692. 2:12:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Would you prefer, then, it to be amended to or just take out associated with St.
  1693. 2:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thomas Hospital development and just leave it at public infrastructure?
  1694. 2:12:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'd rather see that than than just strictly for in that property.
  1695. 2:13:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Seeing as we didn't have this ahead of time, I couldn't.
  1696. 2:13:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, well, yeah, I know.
  1697. 2:13:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like I said, it's been a lot of back and forth.
  1698. 2:13:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And for a moment, we thought that this could have been presented during budgeting.
  1699. 2:13:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But until last minute, then we're like, no, it needs to be tonight.
  1700. 2:13:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
  1701. 2:13:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, yeah, time is of the essence on the entire thing.
  1702. 2:13:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's not like we can postpone it a month and go back to it.
  1703. 2:13:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we do need to get this right.
  1704. 2:13:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I share the same concern that the councilman from Ward 9 has about restricting it just for that particular area.
  1705. 2:13:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But to the sponsor.
  1706. 2:13:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think trying to look at the second wording I have here.
  1707. 2:14:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So my main thing is that I want a section going directly to infrastructure ultimately.
  1708. 2:14:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this page for I think if you look on the be it further resolved to the sponsor where it says at the end amounts deposited into the fund shall not lapse to the general fund and shall be used exclusively for future maintenance, repair, rehab, replacement or capital improvements associated with the.
  1709. 2:14:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Should be Ascension St.
  1710. 2:14:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thomas Hospital development area.
  1711. 2:14:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's that's the hang up, I think, for a couple of us anyway.
  1712. 2:14:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  1713. 2:14:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think if if we just took that public infrastructure and put a period right there and marked out the associated with.
  1714. 2:14:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript OK.
  1715. 2:15:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that would be, you know, more feasible for me anyway.
  1716. 2:15:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript OK.
  1717. 2:15:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One second.
  1718. 2:15:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  1719. 2:15:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's give let's give the sponsor of the amendment time.
  1720. 2:15:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That page is fine.
  1721. 2:15:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have page four.
  1722. 2:15:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Also, that I just need to double check on the wording here.
  1723. 2:15:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, Madam Clerk, we're going to need and Madam and Mr.
  1724. 2:15:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Attorney want to make sure we get this right.
  1725. 2:15:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  1726. 2:16:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript OK.
  1727. 2:16:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Got it.
  1728. 2:16:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it's this right here.
  1729. 2:16:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think this is right.
  1730. 2:16:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
  1731. 2:16:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
  1732. 2:16:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sure.
  1733. 2:16:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's better.
  1734. 2:16:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Take that.
  1735. 2:16:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then this part.
  1736. 2:16:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  1737. 2:16:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That should be.

  1770. 2:27:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, but there's one thing that I do kind of want to highlight.
  1771. 2:27:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a, it's a trend that I've noticed, especially today, or it's kind of come to a head today.
  1772. 2:27:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, if we continue to look at developers and builders to make infrastructure,
  1773. 2:27:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript improvements here in Clarksville, we are seeding our, uh, uh, independents to make decisions, uh, that are in the best interest of the people of Clarksville.
  1774. 2:27:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, when we say that we're going to let builders, um, start making infrastructure improvements, what we're doing is, um, we're giving up our ability to, um, prioritize, uh, and we're sort of dependent on builders to, to bring forward projects that make improvements to places that we know that they need to be, uh,
  1775. 2:28:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh, that we know they, they need to be made.

  1778. 2:28:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um, but I would like to raise that concern, uh, to the council that if, if we continue to look to, uh, developers and builders as the primary mover of, uh, our infrastructure improvements, um, that we may find ourself in a situation where we're considering projects that we wouldn't otherwise consider, uh, because we don't have, uh, the revenue in the city budget, uh, to make the, the improvements that we know we need to make.

  1838. 2:31:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at saving reducing us from six cents off of that 31 cents so that's uh dropping it from 31 cents to
  1839. 2:31:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 25 cents this is uh nothing that hasn't been looked at before and nothing that hasn't been done before
  1840. 2:31:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript previously uh previous council had dropped it from 22 percent to 20 percent this is a time for us to

  2117. 2:53:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript part um part two i want to talk about is when you mentioned the young man and his rights to speak
  2118. 2:53:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and his bun at a million dollars well i don't think anyone has the right to go around harass
  2119. 2:53:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people and instigate people um whether they're just calling them a turd right of
  2120. 2:53:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript someone just called me a turd continuously and harassing me that's not right you don't have a
  2121. 2:53:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right to do that um so you have to respect everyone and respect goes both ways um if you
  2122. 2:53:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't respect me then it's my right and my choice if i choose to respect you and if a confrontation
  2123. 2:53:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript happens because of that then like you said two wrongs don't make it right but a conversation
  2124. 2:54:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a confrontation happened because of that so there are also going to be some unintended consequences
  2125. 2:54:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no matter which way you look at things
  2126. 2:54:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so the bond being set at a million dollars i think it should be two but that's just my thought
