  1. 0:00:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Item A, Ordinance 12-2026-27.
  2. 0:00:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  3. 0:00:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Good afternoon, City Council.
  4. 0:00:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have a couple zoning cases and one zoning amendment before you today.
  5. 0:00:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The first case is Z-28-2026 from the Planning Commission.
  6. 0:00:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the application of Blick Homes LLC.
  7. 0:00:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is .33 acres, currently zoned RM1, which is single-family or mobile home residential district,
  8. 0:00:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and requesting to go to R2A, single-family residential district.
  9. 0:00:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a parcel of land at the north frontage of Eva Drive,
  10. 0:00:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript approximately 133 feet east of Britton Springs Road in the Eva Drive intersection.
  11. 0:00:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's currently a vacant lot with mild topography.
  12. 0:00:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is in Council Ward No. 3.
  13. 0:00:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the applicant's statement is they would like to subdivide this into two lots.
  14. 0:00:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This attempted a little over a year ago to go to R3 instead.
  15. 0:00:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was supported by the RPC but denied by the Council,
  16. 0:00:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so they backed it up.
  17. 0:00:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're going to back the request down to R2A this time.
  18. 0:01:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the future land use map showing an urban neighborhood to the north
  19. 0:01:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and suburban neighborhood in the yellow.
  20. 0:01:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this is the current zoning map.
  21. 0:01:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You have a little R3 on the corner, R1 behind it, RM1,
  22. 0:01:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which RM1 allows for either a single-wide mobile home or a conventionally built home,
  23. 0:01:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and a lot of R4 to the north there.
  24. 0:01:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the property in question today.
  25. 0:01:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The home does sit on the property.
  26. 0:01:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the property requesting rezoning.
  27. 0:01:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they did build one home on the property.
  28. 0:01:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what they're requesting is basically this half of the lot to build another equally or similar home to the left of it.
  29. 0:01:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They left enough room when they built the first home that if they could ever rezone it and subdivide it,
  30. 0:01:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they could get two homes on the lot.
  31. 0:01:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is looking down towards Britton Springs Road from the second lot and looking back up the road.
  32. 0:01:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's the driveway of the current property that was built.
  33. 0:02:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right. Department comments?
  34. 0:02:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No department comments or concerns.
  35. 0:02:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the school provided the capacities of their schools listed.
  36. 0:02:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They did update those for us this month.
  37. 0:02:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we do expect another update in October or November when they count their 40th-day population.
  38. 0:02:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Historical estimates would be two lots.
  39. 0:02:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, you already have an existing home on there, so just one additional home.
  40. 0:02:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Staff does recommend approval.
  41. 0:02:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The request is consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
  42. 0:02:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The request aligns with the future land use designation of suburban neighborhood.
  43. 0:02:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the proposed R2A district is in character with the surrounding development pattern for the area.
  44. 0:02:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Planning Commission also recommended for approval.
  45. 0:02:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Tindall.
  46. 0:02:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any questions regarding this zoning case?
  47. 0:02:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized.
  48. 0:02:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  49. 0:02:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can you go back to the picture of the house that's currently there?
  50. 0:02:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So there's no sidewalks currently.
  51. 0:02:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Would this require them to put in a sidewalk in front of those?
  52. 0:03:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Two-lot minor plots would not require sidewalk.
  53. 0:03:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And do we know if this is in this area where we have this ordinance later on about Jordan and Eva sidewalk project at this eminent domain?
  54. 0:03:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No.
  55. 0:03:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this is not in that area either?
  56. 0:03:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, Jordan Road is a few blocks to the east of this.
  57. 0:03:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Jordan runs north-south from Britton Springs down to the new library.
  58. 0:03:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, thank you.
  59. 0:03:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Claunch, you're recognized.
  60. 0:03:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  61. 0:03:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall, will you remind me how big of a parcel you need for a home?
  62. 0:03:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that the whole parcel is .33.
  63. 0:03:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What is it for one home?
  64. 0:03:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure.
  65. 0:03:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For an R2A lot, you need 5,000 square feet.
  66. 0:03:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So a combined 10,000 square feet.
  67. 0:03:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And at a third of an acre, it's in the 15,000 square feet range right now.
  68. 0:03:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  69. 0:03:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  70. 0:03:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And also the frontage.
  71. 0:03:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You need the 50 feet of frontage, and they have 100 feet of frontage.
  72. 0:03:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it allows for two lots.
  73. 0:04:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So no more, no less.
  74. 0:04:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  75. 0:04:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  76. 0:04:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question regarding this zoning case?
  77. 0:04:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  78. 0:04:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're ready for Item B, Ordinance 13.
  79. 0:04:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall.
  80. 0:04:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  81. 0:04:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're just going out and around the corner here.
  82. 0:04:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is case number Z29-2026.
  83. 0:04:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is the application of Honeycutt LLC.
  84. 0:04:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is .34 acres, currently zoned RM1 and also requesting R2A.
  85. 0:04:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Single Family Residential District.
  86. 0:04:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a property located on the eastern frontage of Calvert Drive, approximately 360 feet south
  87. 0:04:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of Center Road and Calvert Drive, also in Ward Number 3.
  88. 0:04:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The applicant's statement is to develop three single family homes.
  89. 0:04:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll go over that in a moment.
  90. 0:04:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Here's the future land use map.
  91. 0:04:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is over on the western side of the city limits.
  92. 0:04:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can see the line that runs north-south and then goes west there.
  93. 0:04:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's the city limits.
  94. 0:05:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Here's the zoning in the area.
  95. 0:05:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, a mix of RM1, R4, and R1 in the area.
  96. 0:05:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The lot is currently vacant.
  97. 0:05:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This was pretty much directly in the tornado's path back in the day.
  98. 0:05:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Department comments or concerns.
  99. 0:05:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CDE said overhead electrical lines run along the property and relocation or an easement may be required for construction.
  100. 0:05:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We'll handle that as subdivision in the school system.
  101. 0:05:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The school system listed the capacities of their schools in the area.
  102. 0:05:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Historical estimates would be three lots.
  103. 0:05:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The applicant's estimate is three lots.
  104. 0:05:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So even though this parcel is only .01 acres larger, it's not as deep and it's wider.
  105. 0:05:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And when you're dealing with single family homes, typically it's the width of the lot that's the limiting factor,
  106. 0:05:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not the amount of acreage that they have.
  107. 0:06:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they have a minimum lot size could be satisfied as well as having the 150 feet of frontage for three lots.
  108. 0:06:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's why this one's a little different than the last one.
  109. 0:06:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The last one was a deeper lot.
  110. 0:06:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This one's shallower but wider, allowing to get those three lots across the front.
  111. 0:06:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Staff does recommend approval.
  112. 0:06:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
  113. 0:06:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It aligns with the future land use designation of suburban neighborhood.
  114. 0:06:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And R2A is in character with the development pattern in the area.
  115. 0:06:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Planning Commission also recommends approval.
  116. 0:06:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  117. 0:06:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any comment or question regarding this ordinance?
  118. 0:06:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith, you're recognized.
  119. 0:06:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mike.
  120. 0:06:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tender, what would be the square footage of each home?
  121. 0:06:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It says three homes on this small lot.
  122. 0:06:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What would be the square footage about?
  123. 0:06:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We had a picture of one that has the – that fits on one of those lots.
  124. 0:06:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's this picture right here.
  125. 0:06:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's – you're dealing with probably just under 2,000 square feet in that picture with the single-car garage.
  126. 0:07:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what size is this?
  127. 0:07:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What's the square footage on this?
  128. 0:07:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Probably under 2,000 square feet.
  129. 0:07:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know.
  130. 0:07:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't approve the individual houses.
  131. 0:07:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Around 1,500, 1,700.
  132. 0:07:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet.
  133. 0:07:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How many bedrooms would it be, you think?
  134. 0:07:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a home.
  135. 0:07:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It could have one.
  136. 0:07:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It could have three.
  137. 0:07:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We don't know what they're going to build yet.
  138. 0:07:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They just want to build a home.
  139. 0:07:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For rental?
  140. 0:07:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For rental properties?
  141. 0:07:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because I know – and I'm saying this – they can look like homes, but they will be for, like, rental properties for students.
  142. 0:07:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like over there on 4th Street in my ward.
  143. 0:07:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because I thought it was a house.
  144. 0:07:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I go in the house and look inside, and there are four bedrooms.
  145. 0:07:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Each one has a bathroom in it.
  146. 0:07:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I know it's set up for rental property.
  147. 0:07:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They call them homes.
  148. 0:07:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But really, they're rental properties.
  149. 0:08:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Homes can be rooms too, but when it's set up with four bedrooms with four bathrooms,
  150. 0:08:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that that is going to bring in a lot of rentals.
  151. 0:08:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it can bring in disturbance in a neighborhood.
  152. 0:08:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we're trying to prevent gentrification in these neighborhoods.
  153. 0:08:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so that's why I asked.
  154. 0:08:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, you can say home, but really it becomes a moneymaker, I would say.
  155. 0:08:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We can't regulate whether someone rents it or buys it.
  156. 0:08:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there is a movement nowadays out there.
  157. 0:08:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To sublease rooms or Airbnb rooms out separately.
  158. 0:08:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But that's not zoning and subdivision regulations don't cover that.
  159. 0:08:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's different.
  160. 0:08:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I thought in your new plan that you put forth,
  161. 0:08:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we will be able to know exactly what they're going to build.
  162. 0:08:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As in your new plan that you gave us?
  163. 0:09:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is a house.
  164. 0:09:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's going to be a series of bedrooms and bathrooms.
  165. 0:09:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that.
  166. 0:09:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But what I'm saying, Mr. Tender, you hear what I'm saying.
  167. 0:09:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't.
  168. 0:09:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Go on.
  169. 0:09:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You don't understand?
  170. 0:09:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You don't understand what I'm saying?
  171. 0:09:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a single family house.
  172. 0:09:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript However they intend to use it afterward.
  173. 0:09:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If they're putting more than the intended amount of people in it,
  174. 0:09:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that would go to our friends at the codes department to handle that.
  175. 0:09:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But we have a limit on the amount of unrelated individuals that can live together.
  176. 0:09:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it's more than four of them.
  177. 0:09:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Five.
  178. 0:09:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Five.
  179. 0:09:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Wow.
  180. 0:09:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, anyway, I just think we need to regulate.
  181. 0:09:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're allowing them to build single family homes that they're really for families
  182. 0:09:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and not for rental properties.
  183. 0:09:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It brings in gentrification in neighborhoods
  184. 0:09:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and causes sometimes an unstable environment.
  185. 0:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  186. 0:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't regulate if it's a purchase, a purchase to rent, or a rental only.
  187. 0:10:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  188. 0:10:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's all private decisions by the end users.
  189. 0:10:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I hear you.
  190. 0:10:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  191. 0:10:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  192. 0:10:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clontz, you're recognized.
  193. 0:10:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  194. 0:10:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Chin, I just want to say thank you for explaining the limited factor depth versus
  195. 0:10:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the width of the property, considering that they're almost identical in size.
  196. 0:10:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I appreciate that clarification.
  197. 0:10:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  198. 0:10:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have.
  199. 0:10:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  200. 0:10:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question?
  201. 0:10:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're now ready for Item C, Ordinance 14.
  202. 0:10:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall, please, sir.
  203. 0:10:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  204. 0:10:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilmembers, I was able to send you this map, I believe, earlier this week.
  205. 0:10:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just in case you needed to see it up close, it is the entire city that you're looking
  206. 0:10:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at there.
  207. 0:10:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is a collection of changes to the zoning ordinance, Z02-2026.
  208. 0:10:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It primarily deals with vape shops or smoke shops or tobacco shops, however you want to
  209. 0:10:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript label it.
  210. 0:10:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you look in the actual ordinance under the definition, the definition of cigar bar,
  211. 0:11:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript merchandise display area, and smoke shop will be added.
  212. 0:11:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just to get it on the floor, a smoke shop is a retail establishment primarily engaged
  213. 0:11:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with more than 25% of their customer-facing merchandise display area and the sale of tobacco
  214. 0:11:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript products, electronic smoking devices, including e-cigarettes, vape pens, and related accessories,
  215. 0:11:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hemp-derived edibles, cannabinoid products, and smoking paraphernalia.
  216. 0:11:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This includes but is not limited to businesses commonly known as tobacco stores, vape shops,
  217. 0:11:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or retailers of nicotine delivery products, but excludes establishments where such sales
  218. 0:11:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are incidental, less than 25% of the merchandise area, such as convenience stores or grocery
  219. 0:11:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript stores.
  220. 0:11:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what we did, very similar to the liquor store ordinance that was updated last year,
  221. 0:11:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript putting limits from churches, schools, and parks and playgrounds owned by the city or
  222. 0:12:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the county.
  223. 0:12:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we also put in what's considered an anti-smoking ordinance.
  224. 0:12:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anti-concentration regulation, just like liquor stores, of 1,500 feet between uses.
  225. 0:12:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what this map is showing you is that these uses would be permitted in C5, and that's
  226. 0:12:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the areas in blue that you see there.
  227. 0:12:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There may be some blue under these areas.
  228. 0:12:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We didn't make those transparent.
  229. 0:12:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then the existing stores, and we pulled, and thank you to the finance department for
  230. 0:12:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pulling us all the different business licenses.
  231. 0:12:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So between the list of businesses.
  232. 0:12:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The list of businesses that identify as this, as well as Google Maps search for all those
  233. 0:12:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript different terms of what these shops could be, and we had to go in a few and check to
  234. 0:12:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript make sure, is it 25% or 100% or 50% of an area, just to get an idea.
  235. 0:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These are known stores that primarily sell over that 25% store area, vape, tobacco, et
  236. 0:13:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cetera.
  237. 0:13:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CBD stores.
  238. 0:13:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some of them are 100% in the business.
  239. 0:13:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some are 50% in the business.
  240. 0:13:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These do not take in what you may consider a discount beer location that has cigarettes
  241. 0:13:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or products behind the counter.
  242. 0:13:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's below that 25% amount, or may sell gas or snacks also.
  243. 0:13:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In the light green, that's the 1,000-foot buffer from churches, schools, and parks.
  244. 0:13:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The liquor store, and it actually was 500 feet, but if you look at state law when it deals
  245. 0:13:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with hemp-derived products, it's 1,000 feet per state law.
  246. 0:13:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we put 1,000 feet in here because this ordinance includes not just tobacco and vape,
  247. 0:13:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but cannabinoid and hemp products.
  248. 0:13:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We also, while we were doing this, we realized the city has three cigar bars.
  249. 0:13:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're regulated separately by state law.
  250. 0:13:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They actually have to be a bar first, and then are allowed to have smoking inside of
  251. 0:13:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cigars only, no other products.
  252. 0:14:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we added that definition for cigar bars.
  253. 0:14:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we weren't excluding.
  254. 0:14:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're including them in this regulation.
  255. 0:14:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's the primary role of this ordinance, would be to update the definitions, update
  256. 0:14:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the use table, and then add those three conditions, the 1,000 feet, 1,500 feet from each other,
  257. 0:14:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then there is a grandfathering clause as of October 1, 2026, which, if this continues,
  258. 0:14:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that should be the second reading date of this.
  259. 0:14:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If these are existing at the time, they will not be included in this regulation.
  260. 0:14:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They would be grandfathered in.
  261. 0:14:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Should they move in the future, they would have to move to a compliant location, and
  262. 0:14:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as you can see, there is some other blue areas around town with C5 that they could locate
  263. 0:14:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in an area that was compliant with the regulations.
  264. 0:14:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The second part of this ordinance deals with, under the design districts, moving metal panels
  265. 0:14:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from appropriate to an accent material.
  266. 0:15:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've heard some complaints recently about a building that's being built, and we've got
  267. 0:15:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to look at that.
  268. 0:15:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We took a chance to look at that and said it's probably not a bad idea to move metal
  269. 0:15:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript currently to an accessory, which would be 10 to 15 percent of the area on a building.
  270. 0:15:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then we also noticed, back from the LED sign ordinance, there was a duplicate section
  271. 0:15:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript put in, two little paragraphs that duplicate the paragraphs above it.
  272. 0:15:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we're just removing those for redundancy purposes.
  273. 0:15:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So again, primarily this deals with the vape shop.
  274. 0:15:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hemp shops.
  275. 0:15:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In your ordinance, we have originally had another section on site plan requirements.
  276. 0:15:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I believe that's been pulled out in the version that we sent you, but if you saw an earlier
  277. 0:15:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript version, there was a 5.10 that was in there that is not being considered by you all at
  278. 0:15:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this time.
  279. 0:15:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Planning Commission split the question and asked for some further study on that.
  280. 0:15:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Able to answer any questions?
  281. 0:15:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We got them.
  282. 0:15:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized.
  283. 0:16:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  284. 0:16:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall, first of all, I want to thank you for all your work on this.
  285. 0:16:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Since I asked you back in June to bring this forward to us.
  286. 0:16:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I appreciated, too, that Mr. Bittner was able to locate that so that we could really get
  287. 0:16:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript our definitions down.
  288. 0:16:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I know that you have spent considerable time taking it to various different groups
  289. 0:16:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to talk to them, including the Land Development Advisory Committee, which is also what prompted
  290. 0:16:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript now the county is requesting of the RPC some similar language to the RPC.
  291. 0:16:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I think that's a great opportunity for us to do that and to get that out there.
  292. 0:16:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's no other place that you can go to craft for the county as well.
  293. 0:16:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I had asked for this because I had heard numerous things from the public regarding
  294. 0:16:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the numerous locations and where these are located, and one of the things that I had
  295. 0:16:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript noted myself been going in there and looking that these fell under candy shops.
  296. 0:16:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they could go currently as we stand today, these can go anywhere in any commercial district.
  297. 0:17:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this will allow it to be a little bit more accessible so that we can get that out there.
  298. 0:17:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to be better tuned in to a specific area as well as like was stated putting those distance
  299. 0:17:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript requirements on it that are similar to what we have for our liquor stores so again thank you for
  300. 0:17:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript your work on this and everybody else that contributed as well and next week when we vote
  301. 0:17:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i'd very much appreciate your support this did pass unanimously through the regional planning
  302. 0:17:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript commission thank you and one other thing i forgot to say i did talk to a couple other middle
  303. 0:17:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript tennessee towns that have already done this goodletsville hendersonville and this is crafted
  304. 0:17:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript very similar to how they've passed it they've had these in for about a year so they haven't had any
  305. 0:17:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript problems since that councilman chandler thank you mayor well i'm gonna be just exactly opposite of
  306. 0:17:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the previous speaker uh you know we cannot compare these tobacco stores and cigar bars and stuff to
  307. 0:18:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript liquor store
  308. 0:18:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i know
  309. 0:18:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that tobacco kills but i know it's not an overnight thing like a liquor store is kid
  310. 0:18:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript go out and get a hold of liquor and drink it or whatnot i to me this just seems like another
  311. 0:18:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript handful of government overreach uh it you know we're telling people
  312. 0:18:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know i'll give you an example uh there's one there at charlemagne and in dover road
  313. 0:18:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh tobacco store
  314. 0:18:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so what if he finds somebody that's going to offer him better rent and it doesn't fall within this
  315. 0:18:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what kind of now money are we costing these people i mean comparing this to liquor stores
  316. 0:18:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i mean i'm not i'm not going to be a hypocrite yes i smoke i smoke i raised a backer for years
  317. 0:19:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i'm not going to be a hypocrite and say that i don't but i'm not going to be a hypocrite i'm not going to be a hypocrite
  318. 0:19:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, yes, it's wrong.
  319. 0:19:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not good.
  320. 0:19:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, again, we're going into government overreach.
  321. 0:19:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What's the next thing?
  322. 0:19:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What about nail salons?
  323. 0:19:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What about coffee shops?
  324. 0:19:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, eventually, if we continue to start limiting things that are really
  325. 0:19:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and truly not that dangerous, look right across the street.
  326. 0:19:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The liquor store I mentioned is a church.
  327. 0:19:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's never affected that church.
  328. 0:19:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Nothing has ever happened to stop them from holding their church services.
  329. 0:19:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right across the street from the Providence Middle School is a store that sells cigarettes.
  330. 0:19:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Nothing has ever come back and said, well, they sell cigarettes over there.
  331. 0:20:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, that's killed four or five of our kids.
  332. 0:20:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And.
  333. 0:20:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the hemp.
  334. 0:20:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, we need to back up on hemp because the state now has passed it to the point
  335. 0:20:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that might as well go out here and get some grass out of the front, roll it up, and smoke it.
  336. 0:20:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript To me, again, we are starting to regulate these people to death.
  337. 0:20:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And.
  338. 0:20:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just, to me, it's just.
  339. 0:20:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, like I said, who are we going after next?
  340. 0:20:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Gas stations, nail salons, barber shops, cupcake store.
  341. 0:20:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, everywhere you turn, there is a strip mall that's got one of everything I just said.
  342. 0:20:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A tobacco store, a nail salon, and I don't know, city attorney is sitting down here.
  343. 0:20:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've got to be careful with this because if we start cutting into somebody's business,
  344. 0:21:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're going to be in trouble.
  345. 0:21:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We could find ourselves in some lawsuits over this because what you're saying is it
  346. 0:21:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript might look good on paper, but what we're saying is that this is detrimental, but we
  347. 0:21:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have nothing to back it up with.
  348. 0:21:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all.
  349. 0:21:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  350. 0:21:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Clark, you're recognized.
  351. 0:21:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  352. 0:21:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
  353. 0:21:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, I appreciate my fellow council members' comments.
  354. 0:21:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I appreciate my fellow council members' comments.
  355. 0:21:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Removing tobacco and smoke products away from schools, I think, is imperative.
  356. 0:21:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is not, it aligns with the state law as well, if I misspoke on that.
  357. 0:21:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, the younger generation, they're not smoking cigarettes.
  358. 0:21:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're smoking e-cigarettes and vapes and doing all kinds of things that the impact
  359. 0:21:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is significantly greater.
  360. 0:21:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I also smoke.
  361. 0:21:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I own that.
  362. 0:21:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a horrible habit.
  363. 0:22:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But they're designed for a different demographic.
  364. 0:22:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're dinosaurs.
  365. 0:22:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm a dinosaur smoking cigarettes.
  366. 0:22:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Nobody does that anymore.
  367. 0:22:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The younger generation thinks it's cool to have vapes.
  368. 0:22:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They have vape detectors in schools now.
  369. 0:22:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can get suspended from school for having a vape in the school.
  370. 0:22:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So why would we not remove that possibility within the proximity of our youth?
  371. 0:22:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand the point of overreach, but again, it aligns with the state law, and I think
  372. 0:22:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's good business to keep that stuff away from our children.
  373. 0:22:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have.
  374. 0:22:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized.
  375. 0:22:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  376. 0:22:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall, I just want to reiterate.
  377. 0:22:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You also worked with Mr. Bittner on this, correct?
  378. 0:22:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, we bounced this off of them, and that's when he brought up the additional state laws
  379. 0:22:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we might want to look at because of the other products that are included in this now.
  380. 0:22:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And anyone who currently has a business, this doesn't affect them, correct?
  381. 0:22:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They can stay where they are as long as they're staying where they are.
  382. 0:23:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If they ever want to move.
  383. 0:23:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That would be a time to move to a different location.
  384. 0:23:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I forget the exact amount.
  385. 0:23:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It fluctuated month to month, but it's in the upper 50s in terms of shops that are primarily
  386. 0:23:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript selling this type of merchandise.
  387. 0:23:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you apply that to the liquor stores, I think you only have 36 liquor stores max in
  388. 0:23:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the city right now.
  389. 0:23:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We did not put a limit on.
  390. 0:23:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that was where we were originally going to go compared to other towns was to put a
  391. 0:23:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript limit on it so there could be no more.
  392. 0:23:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We decided.
  393. 0:23:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We decided that that was not appropriate for this, but to limit the distance between them
  394. 0:23:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so that they would eventually, over time, spread out more equally in the C5 district.
  395. 0:23:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, and then also you referenced state law.
  396. 0:23:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That was even a recent change, correct?
  397. 0:23:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The state law putting the distance?
  398. 0:23:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, that was this year, I believe.
  399. 0:23:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, so it's nothing new that we're coming up with here.
  400. 0:23:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And this, to verify, this does not affect any businesses that sell cupcakes, right?
  401. 0:24:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
  402. 0:24:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I love some cupcakes.
  403. 0:24:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I want to make sure we're not affecting that.
  404. 0:24:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But this is strictly regarding vape, everything that you listed.
  405. 0:24:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  406. 0:24:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  407. 0:24:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  408. 0:24:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Holliman.
  409. 0:24:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  410. 0:24:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, I guess I need to think about this one a little bit.
  411. 0:24:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is there an echo in here?
  412. 0:24:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  413. 0:24:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, okay.
  414. 0:24:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, we'll just roll with it.
  415. 0:24:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a little bit better, but.
  416. 0:24:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Roll with it.
  417. 0:24:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, roll with it, I guess.
  418. 0:24:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, that's unintended.
  419. 0:24:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's too easy, too easy.
  420. 0:24:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But a lot of these shops and stuff, I mean, they don't know what kind of chemicals are actually in them, you know?
  421. 0:24:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some of them, I've heard reports of marijuana farms that are run by, like, Chinese,
  422. 0:24:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then they spray them with chemicals and pesticides, and then they sell it to people as, like, good stuff, I guess.
  423. 0:25:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We don't know exactly what is in the products that they are buying.
  424. 0:25:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, you know, kids, yeah, like, that's the important thing is to protect the youth.
  425. 0:25:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Greater accessibility does lead to increased consumption.
  426. 0:25:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, like, there's no other way to look at it.
  427. 0:25:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like, if you have the product and you can just reach across the aisle and grab it compared to, oh, I've got to drive 30 minutes to go get it,
  428. 0:25:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like, if you like that product, you're going to use that product more, no matter what, if it's a substance or what it is.
  429. 0:25:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know it's talked about, you know, what's next, gas stations?
  430. 0:25:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like, yeah, I think we should regulate gas stations.
  431. 0:25:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like, they sell drugs in gas stations, you know?
  432. 0:25:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like, just go to the counter at a Mapco or a locally owned place.
  433. 0:25:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, you'll see all kinds of stuff.
  434. 0:25:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, like, this stuff is being pushed on us on a wide scale.
  435. 0:25:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not a – it's a very serious problem.
  436. 0:26:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And within our society, I'm not speaking against marijuana or I'm not speaking against alcohol or anything.
  437. 0:26:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What I'm saying is when you add in all the elements and all the different substances within our society, you have what our society looks like,
  438. 0:26:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that's a bunch of crazy people that are addicted to their phones, you know?
  439. 0:26:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I've got for my rant.
  440. 0:26:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  441. 0:26:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized.
  442. 0:26:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  443. 0:26:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So a couple of the previous speakers have brought up some questions.
  444. 0:26:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some points also about not being close to the school, okay?
  445. 0:26:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that.
  446. 0:26:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But this is what engaged in greater than 25% of merchandise sales is that.
  447. 0:26:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That don't mean they can't go across the street to the convenience store that sells gas, and this is just a little part.
  448. 0:26:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's still going to be able to be built right across the street from a school.
  449. 0:26:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's not going to stop it being –
  450. 0:27:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and available by a school.
  451. 0:27:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just, you know, the targeted for the full shops practically, you know, that sell mostly that.
  452. 0:27:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, you know, we still have convenience stores across from the school where they can just walk up there and grab it.
  453. 0:27:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It may not have as big a selection, but this is not going to stop that from being sold close to a school, church, park.
  454. 0:27:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It still could be sold right next door to a convenience store.
  455. 0:27:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just, you know, the quantity of availability, the options may not be as great.
  456. 0:27:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's still going to be available right next door, just not at the volume.
  457. 0:27:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I agree with you in the sense of it is available.
  458. 0:27:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can go to Walmart and get this as well or even some grocery stores.
  459. 0:27:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When the original sponsor was speaking at the planning commission about this, I think it's more about the optics of seeing these stores.
  460. 0:27:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, when you pass a gas station, it doesn't say vape shop.
  461. 0:28:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It may have a little sign somewhere on there that they sell that, but they also have other things and beer and Pepsi and other things on the signs.
  462. 0:28:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This was more about the optics of a vape-only shop or exclusive vape shop in proximity, you know, across from a school or near a playground where it was right there.
  463. 0:28:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I think that was some of the early discussion.
  464. 0:28:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We know this is available in other places, but it's the concentration of it being a primary use.
  465. 0:28:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
  466. 0:28:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  467. 0:28:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the ones that focus more on this are more colorful lights and all that may draw the attention of kids.
  468. 0:28:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, the convenience store, most of them aren't just advertising all that stuff.
  469. 0:28:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, that's kind of my look at it.
  470. 0:28:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And also, like one of the previous speakers about where does it stop?
  471. 0:28:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, where do we not, you know, nail salons?
  472. 0:29:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, whatever else it may be, maybe restaurants.
  473. 0:29:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Maybe there's too many steakhouses in this block or something.
  474. 0:29:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't think there could ever be too many steakhouses, but I'm kind of a meatitarian.
  475. 0:29:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, but, you know, that's just my current thought on it.
  476. 0:29:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, thank you.
  477. 0:29:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, you're recognized.
  478. 0:29:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've got a couple of points, and then I promise you I will not even do nothing but vote on this next week.
  479. 0:29:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  480. 0:29:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you...
  481. 0:29:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If I want to build a smoke shop after this passes, say on Dover Road,
  482. 0:29:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well, I'm going to get turned down because of where is my location.
  483. 0:29:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But a kid can get in a car and drive all over town.
  484. 0:30:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just because you're making it, instead of two miles, you're making it ten miles,
  485. 0:30:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, every one of us in here has been guilty when we were underage of drinking.
  486. 0:30:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, back when I was a kid, you had to go to Kentucky.
  487. 0:30:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It didn't bother me.
  488. 0:30:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's go to Kentucky.
  489. 0:30:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the last thing is, just because it's a state law doesn't mean we...
  490. 0:30:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a state law against murder.
  491. 0:30:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, does that mean we need to go to...
  492. 0:30:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to our legal counsel and say, well, you know, that's a state law against it,
  493. 0:30:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so we're going to have to write a city ordinance against murder.
  494. 0:30:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If there's a state law against it, it's already in place.
  495. 0:30:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we just need to find out what the enforcement tool is.
  496. 0:30:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's it.
  497. 0:30:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll just make one clarifying statement on that.
  498. 0:31:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The state law just deals with cannabinoid, THC, CBD products, not vape tobacco and other stuff.
  499. 0:31:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, it's that side.
  500. 0:31:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, it's crazy as our state legislators are, they didn't even bother to fill with tobacco.
  501. 0:31:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Pretty strong lobby up there.
  502. 0:31:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Holliman, you're recognized.
  503. 0:31:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  504. 0:31:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This will be the last thing I say on that.
  505. 0:31:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But our society has a very serious drug problem.
  506. 0:31:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, like, obviously, like, there is a vast amount of these vape stores, weed stores,
  507. 0:31:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whatever we want to call them, around our city.
  508. 0:31:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the fact of the matter is that they exist.
  509. 0:31:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We live in a free market.
  510. 0:31:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The reason that they exist is because people shop in them.
  511. 0:31:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, we care about money more than anything in our society.
  512. 0:31:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's, they do exist for a reason, thus the amount of smoke shops is actually evidence
  513. 0:31:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of a greater problem within our society of a drug problem.
  514. 0:32:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, is this the right solution?
  515. 0:32:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is it the wrong solution?
  516. 0:32:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, I'm not one to say right now.
  517. 0:32:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I do think we need to take a step back.
  518. 0:32:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we need to take steps to heal ourselves as a society.
  519. 0:32:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's all.
  520. 0:32:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  521. 0:32:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
  522. 0:32:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question?
  523. 0:32:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do have a question.
  524. 0:32:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know the liquor store ordinance was referenced, and that is a severe taxation on our city
  525. 0:32:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript clerk's office to monitor that, everything from lotteries to pulling permits, certificate
  526. 0:32:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of compliance.
  527. 0:32:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, it's really time intensive.
  528. 0:32:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How is this to be implemented?
  529. 0:32:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's a great question.
  530. 0:32:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, I think, you know, it's a great question.
  531. 0:32:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The sponsor and I specifically went in without trying to tax the clerk's office anymore.
  532. 0:32:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  533. 0:32:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
  534. 0:32:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So when we first started looking at can you limit this to 1 to 5,000, 1 to 6,000 residents,
  535. 0:32:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it then becomes a permit.
  536. 0:32:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This becomes just a use permitted with conditions, which means you're either going to get a conditional
  537. 0:32:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript use permit through the code department, or when you pull your business license, you'll
  538. 0:33:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript be said, no, you're not meeting these regulations.
  539. 0:33:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Here's the three regulations to follow.
  540. 0:33:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it should be handled through the code department through either of those processes.
  541. 0:33:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
  542. 0:33:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So no special permit is required?
  543. 0:33:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
  544. 0:33:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No.
  545. 0:33:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
  546. 0:33:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just purely a review by?
  547. 0:33:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript CHAIRMAN BRYANT.
  548. 0:33:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Of the conditions by the code department.
  549. 0:33:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  550. 0:33:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.

  608. 0:37:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've got about $100,000 in it already in design.
  609. 0:37:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we thought, you know, let's go after some of this money, and thankfully we were awarded.
  610. 0:38:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The trouble is we have one calendar year to complete this project, and knowing how much was involved, we omitted at this time the Eva Drive section of this,
  611. 0:38:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and this is just Jordan connecting over to [address omitted; hear it in the video at this time].
  612. 0:38:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Last year, last fiscal year, we completed the Minglewood connection to the new library.
  613. 0:38:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This would be a connection from the new library all the way, believe it or not, to Ringgold Elementary.
  614. 0:38:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because we just did that capital project recently.
  615. 0:38:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is a great project.
  616. 0:38:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're partnering with Kiwanis on this.
  617. 0:38:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a storybook trail.
  618. 0:38:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we've got partnerships with the library.
  619. 0:38:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is just a really, really neat project.
  620. 0:38:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That being said, if it's postponed, we'll go through kind of the brass tacks of that.
  621. 0:38:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is going to be an absolute scramble to finish in a year because the money that we were awarded will only allow us to do this work in-house.
  622. 0:38:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We can't sub it out and get it done for the money that we've got.
  623. 0:38:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've got to buy the property.
  624. 0:39:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, this is abstract.
  625. 0:39:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will say this is abstract.
  626. 0:39:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilperson Lovato kind of pointed out this is a little different than we typically do our projects.
  627. 0:39:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Typically, we have the appraisals done, and we're ready to go, and we know what those values are and whatnot.
  628. 0:39:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In this case, we own all the right-of-way.
  629. 0:39:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we already own the land necessary where the sidewalks will exist.
  630. 0:39:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What we need is to be able to slope the yards behind.
  631. 0:39:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this is easement acquisition.
  632. 0:39:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right now, those yards, if you guys have been out on Jordan Road and whatnot, they're all ditches.
  633. 0:39:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They all convey stormwater.
  634. 0:39:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We intend to do that.
  635. 0:39:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We intend to build sidewalks over top of that.
  636. 0:39:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So in order to make this work, we've got to move those ditches behind.
  637. 0:39:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've asked the developer, is there a way we can make that a little more gentle where they can manage and mow those areas
  638. 0:39:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so instead of ditches behind the sidewalks, we'll have swales or more gentle conveyance of stormwater.
  639. 0:39:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The average price that we're going to pay for those properties is around $3,500.
  640. 0:39:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There are 32 involved.
  641. 0:39:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We think that's going to be, depending on where it lands, somewhere in the $120K range for property acquisition.
  642. 0:39:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have money in the budget.
  643. 0:39:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For other sidewalk projects that we'll use to do this, we're just going to shift the priority.
  644. 0:40:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Before this award, the priority was North Liberty Church in Appleton.
  645. 0:40:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we're just kind of shifting that for acquisition.
  646. 0:40:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Some of the months we're talking about are winter months.
  647. 0:40:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So a year's time is not really a year's time.
  648. 0:40:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And believe it or not, the Kiwanis signed the contract, so we're already a month into that year.
  649. 0:40:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So if I lose another month to postpone and discuss and whatnot, I can't.
  650. 0:40:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't complete this project.
  651. 0:40:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we should probably give the money back.
  652. 0:40:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this is no match on this.
  653. 0:40:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is $800,000 free.
  654. 0:40:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Usually we have 80-20 splits and stuff like that.
  655. 0:40:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I would appreciate your support on this.
  656. 0:40:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  657. 0:40:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized.
  658. 0:40:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Smith, you answered one of the questions I was going to ask,
  659. 0:40:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which was how many properties it was.
  660. 0:40:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You said 32.
  661. 0:40:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  662. 0:40:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But there's nobody's houses involved in this.
  663. 0:40:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just their frontage, you know, pretty much the ditch line, put a sidewalk in,
  664. 0:40:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then having to reach.
  665. 0:40:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They do their drainage.
  666. 0:40:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Exactly that.
  667. 0:41:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's slope and construction easement because in order to manipulate that area,
  668. 0:41:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have to walk or damage the ground.
  669. 0:41:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so we have to compensate for that and bring it back to a certain level.
  670. 0:41:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The construction easements we have to pay for are temporary.
  671. 0:41:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The slope easements are permanent.
  672. 0:41:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it's not a taking.
  673. 0:41:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Eric could probably talk about that.
  674. 0:41:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, if we take right-of-way, I mean, we own it in fee simple and whatnot.
  675. 0:41:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is just reshaping land.
  676. 0:41:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We don't own it after this.
  677. 0:41:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  678. 0:41:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
  679. 0:41:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If it did have to go to, in eminent domains, the last resort.
  680. 0:41:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is.
  681. 0:41:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On all this.
  682. 0:41:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, I know it's put into each one of the ordinances just in case it gets to that point.
  683. 0:41:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But if it did have to go to eminent domain,
  684. 0:41:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that would put us past the year of being able to do the job anyway.
  685. 0:41:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If it went to that extreme.
  686. 0:41:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, our city attorney is very crafty.
  687. 0:41:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's an inverse condemnation that he's, I don't know, there's big words.
  688. 0:41:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And they're well above my pay.
  689. 0:41:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But there's a way that we could move forward anyway.
  690. 0:42:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript While that condemnation process was within the courts.
  691. 0:42:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the court would decide what the value owed to that person would be post-construction.
  692. 0:42:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  693. 0:42:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  694. 0:42:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  695. 0:42:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith.
  696. 0:42:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  697. 0:42:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Smith, has the residents been notified about this?
  698. 0:42:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, it's been notified.
  699. 0:42:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, we don't have first reading yet.
  700. 0:42:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would be, I think it would be premature to talk to him.
  701. 0:42:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, no.
  702. 0:42:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, we don't have first reading.
  703. 0:42:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I'm thinking, you know, we should probably give them an idea that this may happen.
  704. 0:42:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, to get them ready to be deciding whether they want to do this or not.
  705. 0:42:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That way we can know, are we going to obtain all 32 of these properties through easements, taking their easements?
  706. 0:42:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I was just saying that we should always notify the residents before we even make a decision as to whether we're going to do this or not.
  707. 0:42:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That way we know if it's really going to be 32 properties that we're going to have to take.
  708. 0:42:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure.
  709. 0:42:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think some of that's already been accomplished through the establishment of the capital project and the amount of public meetings that we've had here in this chamber that that's occurring.
  710. 0:43:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As to the unique amount of capture on each property, we have a negotiation team that will go out and sit in the evenings in the living rooms with each of these families and walk them through.
  711. 0:43:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a third party that does that.
  712. 0:43:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's a really, really good process.
  713. 0:43:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  714. 0:43:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  715. 0:43:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more questions for Mr. Smith?
  716. 0:43:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  717. 0:43:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
  718. 0:43:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Chairman Streetman.
  719. 0:43:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  720. 0:43:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ordinance 09-20-26-27.
  721. 0:43:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript First reading.
  722. 0:43:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript An ordinance amending the official code of the City of Clarksville Title 12, Streets and Other Public Ways and Places, Chapter 3, Drainage, Section 12-304, Land Disturbing Activities, Paragraph 2G, and Chapter 3, Drainage, Section 12-309, Non-Stormwater Discharges to Provide Needed Updates.
  723. 0:43:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Both the Finance and the Transportation Streets and Garage Committees voted in favor.
  724. 0:43:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more questions for approval?
  725. 0:44:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, Mayor, I'm not really sure why he walked back, but could we ask Mr. Smith to take a couple steps back up to the microphone?
  726. 0:44:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We can ask him.
  727. 0:44:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know.
  728. 0:44:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I probably don't want to.
  729. 0:44:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Smith.
  730. 0:44:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure thing.
  731. 0:44:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So TDAC did their typical audit, and they had two findings this time around.
  732. 0:44:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The one finding, it's all verbiage.
  733. 0:44:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The first said that we, and we'll talk about waivers later, I think, but one of those things said that the Director of Streets and the Street Department could waive permit requirements.
  734. 0:44:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it's been that way for, you know, it's survived the past several audits that they had, but this time they took issue with it in essence that somebody could extrapolate that we would also be waiving state permit requirements.
  735. 0:44:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they asked us to amend that language to identify only local permits were within the purview of our waiver.
  736. 0:44:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the second relates to illicit discharges.
  737. 0:44:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Believe it or not, it kind of reads this way, that the Street Department could allow somebody to illicitly discharge material.
  738. 0:44:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, I'm not saying dumping motor oil.
  739. 0:44:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Down the drain or something like that, but I agree 100%.
  740. 0:45:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's take that language out.
  741. 0:45:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't think of a circumstance where that would be permissible.
  742. 0:45:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Questions for Mr. Smith?
  743. 0:45:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
  744. 0:45:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not going far.

  751. 0:45:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Do you want to bring up Police Chief David Smith?
  752. 0:45:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, that is not the Police Chief.
  753. 0:45:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think I'd rather have the expert, the Police Chief, type Burdine.
  754. 0:45:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That'd be Chief Montgomery.
  755. 0:45:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  756. 0:45:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Chief Burdine.
  757. 0:46:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We'll get around to you in a minute.
  758. 0:46:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you don't mind, explain what we're doing here.
  759. 0:46:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, we've had, to be honest with you, we've had an MOU with ATF for many, many years.
  760. 0:46:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They've contacted us, and we need to update our MOU.
  761. 0:46:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And part of our MOU is always part of the reimbursement.
  762. 0:46:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If we do an investigation and – so bottom line is that we have detectives here,
  763. 0:46:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they go through to become what's called a task force officer.
  764. 0:46:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the TFO is what we call those, and they will be credentialed with the ATF.
  765. 0:46:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, they'll spend their time here, their offices are here, and they don't spend much time anywhere else but Clarksville.
  766. 0:46:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But on occasion, when specifically if we have violent crime that is going on,
  767. 0:46:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we will leverage ATFs and force multiply with them to potentially take people federally with charges.
  768. 0:47:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, why it's coming through?
  769. 0:47:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, one of the things that we've learned through the F&A from public safety is that there's a money component to this
  770. 0:47:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that allows us to get reimbursed if we have officers that are working on an ATF case,
  771. 0:47:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so we can get reimbursed for that money while they're working for them.
  772. 0:47:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the MOU and the partnership with ATF is certainly nothing new,
  773. 0:47:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and we've used it frequently over the past several years.
  774. 0:47:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Questions about this resolution?
  775. 0:47:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Chief.

  782. 0:47:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Finance Committee voted in favor of approval.
  783. 0:48:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is just allowing us, as far as the Tennessee state law already allows us to be able to do this,
  784. 0:48:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it allows us to do it.
  785. 0:48:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It allows us to be able to redact where we are purchasing equipment from
  786. 0:48:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the exact equipment and brand of equipment that we are purchasing.
  787. 0:48:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That is beneficial to us because when hackers and different individuals like that are able to get that information,
  788. 0:48:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they can find easier ways to be able to find the holes to be able to get into our system.
  789. 0:48:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this is just allowing us to redact that information to not make it as readily available to those out there

  814. 0:49:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  815. 0:49:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're ready for Public Safety Committee.
  816. 0:49:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Chairman Lovato.
  817. 0:49:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  818. 0:49:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll have a full report next week.
  819. 0:49:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  820. 0:49:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're ready for Transportation, Streets, and Garage Committee.
  821. 0:49:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Chairman Smith, you have an ordinance?
  822. 0:49:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
  823. 0:49:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  824. 0:49:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have a report on September 3rd, but I do have one ordinance to bring forth,
  825. 0:49:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that's Ordinance 10-2026, that's 27,
  826. 0:49:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and Ordinance Amending the Official Code of the City of Placio, Title 12,
  827. 0:50:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Streets and Other Public Ways and Places, Chapter 1 in General,
  828. 0:50:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Section 12, 124, Sidewalks, to Add Paragraphs, L and M,
  829. 0:50:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript regarding Exemption and Sidewalks Appeal.
  830. 0:50:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript During the TSG Committee, all members present voted to disapprove this ordinance.
  831. 0:50:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For the simple fact, everyone, we feel that everyone deserves a right
  832. 0:50:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to live in a safe neighborhood and have sidewalks in their neighborhood.
  833. 0:50:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if we make a decision, allow someone to make a decision,
  834. 0:50:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to say, hey, we're not going to put sidewalks in this area, this area, or this area.
  835. 0:50:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We think that this will not allow people to have the benefits of having walkways in their neighborhoods.
  836. 0:50:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They won't have active living, such as a safe pass to encourage people to walk and exercise outside,
  837. 0:51:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or just anything that they need to do to get to school or to work or to shop.
  838. 0:51:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We think that sidewalks should belong in every neighborhood, regardless of where someone lives.
  839. 0:51:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so this is why it was disapproved.
  840. 0:51:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay, Councilman Brown, you have a question or comment?
  841. 0:51:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have a comment on this.
  842. 0:51:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm on the Transportation, Streets, and Garage Committee also.
  843. 0:51:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think the big issue here is that whoever the director of the Streets Department may be now down the road,
  844. 0:51:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is a big issue.
  845. 0:51:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This just gives them the authority to say, nope, you don't need sidewalks where you're at.
  846. 0:51:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand the point of this coming is a business is trying to get a site plan together,
  847. 0:51:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but our ordinance says they have to have a sidewalk on 374, on 101st,
  848. 0:51:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because that's where the property meets up.
  849. 0:52:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The state's not going to let them.
  850. 0:52:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I do see an issue there.
  851. 0:52:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it's not just restraints.
  852. 0:52:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's restricted to commercial.
  853. 0:52:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is also attached to residential.
  854. 0:52:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I can see a point to it,
  855. 0:52:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I think as like the second part on there says sidewalk appeal can be heard by the Transportation, Streets,
  856. 0:52:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and Garage Committee where the exemption can be just given by the Street Department director.
  857. 0:52:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think if it actually came to the Transportation, Streets, and Garage Committee for the exemption,
  858. 0:52:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at least it would give us the input on saying yay or nay,
  859. 0:52:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where the way it's written is we just get told about it afterwards.
  860. 0:52:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, we've put the ordinances in that require the sidewalks,
  861. 0:52:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but at least if the exemptions came to the Transportation, Streets, and Garage Committee also,
  862. 0:53:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I could see it, you know, going along with it then.
  863. 0:53:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Then that way it doesn't have to come to the full council,
  864. 0:53:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but it would be a good thing.
  865. 0:53:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would be representatives from the council that would be voting to give them the exemption.
  866. 0:53:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, like the one that has come up with this.
  867. 0:53:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now the state's not going to let them put sidewalks on that road
  868. 0:53:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because there's not going to be an entrance on that road.
  869. 0:53:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I could see that exemption being done,
  870. 0:53:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but nothing's to say that another one comes up and the Streets director says,
  871. 0:53:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript well, we'll let you not have the sidewalks here,
  872. 0:53:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or at least if it came to the Commission,
  873. 0:53:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we would have the input,
  874. 0:53:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at least the members of that committee to address this there.
  875. 0:53:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the way it's written, I just can't go along with it.
  876. 0:53:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, you know, we made a few changes,
  877. 0:53:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which may be an amendment next week or something.
  878. 0:53:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can see it a little bit more.
  879. 0:53:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all.
  880. 0:53:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized.
  881. 0:54:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  882. 0:54:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do not have any questions,
  883. 0:54:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but for the sake of transparency,
  884. 0:54:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would we like Mr. Smith,
  885. 0:54:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall to come up and explain why this is in front of us?
  886. 0:54:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, that's a good point.
  887. 0:54:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Smith, if you don't mind,
  888. 0:54:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript come and walk us through this ordinance
  889. 0:54:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and try to address some of the concerns, maybe.
  890. 0:54:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure thing.
  891. 0:54:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So Mr. Tindall's office is in a bit of a tight spot,
  892. 0:54:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the way the ordinance is written.
  893. 0:54:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It says that sidewalks have to be on any one of those frontages.
  894. 0:54:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sidewalks have to, in essence,
  895. 0:54:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript depending on your perception, exist on alleyways.
  896. 0:54:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we just know that those aren't for conveyance of sidewalks.
  897. 0:54:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the circumstances,
  898. 0:54:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I get it,
  899. 0:54:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it could be carte blanche,
  900. 0:54:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we would be waving sidewalks are those kinds of circumstances.
  901. 0:54:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can tell you that we already have the ability in transparency
  902. 0:54:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to wave sidewalks given certain circumstances,
  903. 0:54:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript including ownership and other features.
  904. 0:54:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have the ability to wave stormwater,
  905. 0:54:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and none of that is presented to a committee for review.
  906. 0:54:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's all in ordinance and that's all codified.
  907. 0:55:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we're not asking,
  908. 0:55:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're actually increasing transparency by bringing it
  909. 0:55:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the committee.
  910. 0:55:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I get,
  911. 0:55:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand it could be for approval,
  912. 0:55:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but bringing it to you is more than we're already presently doing
  913. 0:55:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in either of those circumstances.
  914. 0:55:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then to Mr.
  915. 0:55:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Bittner's point,
  916. 0:55:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript creating an appeal or due process for folks that feel that either
  917. 0:55:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the planning commission,
  918. 0:55:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript myself and,
  919. 0:55:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
  920. 0:55:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in joint are,
  921. 0:55:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript are incorrect.
  922. 0:55:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then having the board in that due process fashion appeal.
  923. 0:55:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So his hands are tied sometimes.
  924. 0:55:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sometimes he and I disagree about,
  925. 0:55:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
  926. 0:55:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the different classifications of roadways and whether sidewalks belong.
  927. 0:55:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
  928. 0:55:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript main street's a good example.
  929. 0:55:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We require,
  930. 0:55:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we would require sidewalks on main street,
  931. 0:55:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but not on grand alley behind.
  932. 0:55:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the way that he interprets the code,
  933. 0:55:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's required in both cases.
  934. 0:55:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This helps clear that up.
  935. 0:55:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know,
  936. 0:55:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it would give us the right to wave the sidewalks.
  937. 0:55:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again,
  938. 0:55:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're within the street department's purview.
  939. 0:55:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So
  940. 0:55:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript questions for Mr.
  941. 0:55:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Smith.
  942. 0:56:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  943. 0:56:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sorry.
  944. 0:56:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's get accused from the city chairman's man.
  945. 0:56:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Uh,
  946. 0:56:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript also,
  947. 0:56:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
  948. 0:56:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we need to think about,
  949. 0:56:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
  950. 0:56:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript smart growth.
  951. 0:56:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We know that smart growth means that,
  952. 0:56:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
  953. 0:56:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pedestrian infrastructure is very important for child safety.
  954. 0:56:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
  955. 0:56:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they need,
  956. 0:56:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh,
  957. 0:56:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a sidewalks to walk to school and we know that it also reduces accidents.
  958. 0:56:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we have to think about when we saying,
  959. 0:56:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hey,
  960. 0:56:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're going to exempt sidewalks in certain places.
  961. 0:56:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This could affect the child's,
  962. 0:56:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
  963. 0:56:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript safety.
  964. 0:56:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
  965. 0:56:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it can cause a lot of problems as such as,
  966. 0:56:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
  967. 0:56:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know,
  968. 0:56:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a child getting hit by a car.
  969. 0:56:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For instance,
  970. 0:56:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but having that sidewalk will will reduce maybe the accident.
  971. 0:56:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so we need to think about smart growth when we make decisions on whether we
  972. 0:56:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going to exempt sidewalks in the neighborhood.
  973. 0:56:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  974. 0:56:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  975. 0:56:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any other more comment or question regarding this ordinance?
  976. 0:57:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay,
  977. 0:57:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you.
  978. 0:57:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're now ready for the item under new business resolution 14 20 26 27 a resolution approving the official
  979. 0:57:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript designation of North Second Street from Riverside Drive to College Street to be designated as the sergeant John W Hunt Memorial Boulevard members.

  986. 0:57:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um,
  987. 0:57:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and was unconscious and never recovered and his family and I and his fraternity brothers would like to recognize and honor his memory by designating this stretch of road in his memory.
  988. 0:57:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Um,
  989. 0:57:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's fitting that we do that,

  1001. 0:58:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How was it decided to particular particular to pick Riverside Drive to College Street?
  1002. 0:58:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a good question.
  1003. 0:58:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Austin P was near and dear to his heart because he was a graduate of Austin P.
