- 0:04:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript wishes to speak in favor of ordinance 12. Mr. Blick, if you'll give us your name
- 0:04:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and you have five minutes. Jonathan Blick, we just come before you to ask for R2A
- 0:05:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on this property. Just looking at cutting it in half. We've already built a house
- 0:05:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on one side of the property and we're just looking to get a better yield out
- 0:05:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of that and trying to keep the area affordable. As you guys could see in the
- 0:05:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript picture there, we built a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home on one side of
- 0:05:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the house or on one side of the lot and would like to build something similar on
- 0:05:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the other side. That's about all I have for you. Thank you. Any questions for Mr.
- 0:05:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Blake? Thank you, sir. Thank you all. Councilman Clonch, you're recognized.
- 0:05:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Sir, are you going to drop those trees on the other side?
- 0:05:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would say what's on our lot within the building footprint, my brother's the
- 0:05:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript builder, so he would be better to answer those questions, but this is kind of my
- 0:05:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript role as the zoning area. But whatever's in the footprint without danger to the
- 0:06:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript house, of course. Existing trees keeps it cool, so we would like to keep the
- 0:06:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript existing trees cool.
- 0:06:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right. I mean, there's trees on the perimeter, but there's a rather large, and
- 0:06:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not a tree expert, that one tree. I think there may be one, two, or three
- 0:06:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trees that might be in that building footprint, and those would be probably what
- 0:06:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we would be removing, and I think that would be at risk to both the existing
- 0:06:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript house and the house that we're going to probably build. Thank you, sir. I also
- 0:06:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would like to say I appreciate the fact that just because you could put three on
- 0:06:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there.
- 0:06:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You did not. I mean, it's not a huge lot, and the house that you did build looks
- 0:06:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript good. Also, when you say affordable housing, what does that mean to you?
- 0:06:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would say dual income is affordable. Anything under that would be maybe
- 0:07:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript single income. That would be very affordable. So as far as price relies, our
- 0:07:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript niche is $225,000 to $300,000.
- 0:07:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Currently, we are building homes at the $165,000 to $200,000 mark, but in that
- 0:07:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript area, we're staying around $225,000 to $300,000, and $225,000 is a two-bedroom,
- 0:07:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just so you know.
- 0:07:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I looked it up through a real estate agent friend of mine, and it was listed
- 0:07:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for $389,000.
- 0:07:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Which one?
- 0:07:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The property that we're talking about, the blue house with the white.
- 0:07:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm the agent on it, and it's currently never been listed, and that's a $275,000
- 0:07:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to $300,000 house, and I would say to match the picture with the, because I
- 0:07:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript promise you, we've never listed it.
- 0:07:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
- 0:07:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, and I think the square footage on the home is probably 1,300 square feet,
- 0:08:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so just $200 a square foot gets you at $260,000, so that's pretty much the
- 0:08:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going rate.
- 0:08:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, you might be able to squeak a little bit more with the garage.
- 0:08:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
- 0:08:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As far as, I mean, I, again, I'm not, yeah, I know, I'm, I'm, $389,000, $165,000 a
- 0:08:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript square, $2,300 square feet.
- 0:08:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm seeing a red notation on there.
- 0:08:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It says sold.
- 0:08:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, we own the property.
- 0:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
- 0:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I would say that that's wrong.
- 0:08:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, I appreciate it.
- 0:08:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
- 0:08:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, there's no reason to apologize.
- 0:08:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, I don't want to, I don't want to.
- 0:08:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm learning just like everybody else.
- 0:08:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right.
- 0:08:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
- 0:08:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yep, no problem.
- 0:08:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized.
- 0:08:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 0:08:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Blake, this is kind of in front of the council.
- 0:08:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Several times at this point.
- 0:08:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can you just kind of walk some of the newer council members through the history and what's
- 0:08:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript different with this versus what's come in front of us before?
- 0:08:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
- 0:09:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So with the history, we've asked for R3.
- 0:09:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's been a lot of pushback with the community.
- 0:09:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And with the R3, there is multifamily options.
- 0:09:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that was kind of misled to the council members.
- 0:09:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Obviously, single family is.
- 0:09:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The route that we always want to go just because it's just more affordable for everybody.
- 0:09:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we can get that out there.
- 0:09:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then if you're selling to, you're building multifamily, you're building to an investor.
- 0:09:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So investors don't like to pay as much because they're investing.
- 0:09:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I mean, if you're selling a home, there may be more willing to pay what it's worth.
- 0:09:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So what you're requesting.
- 0:09:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Today is considerably less than what you've requested in the past.
- 0:09:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Correct.
- 0:09:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was.
- 0:09:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We asked for a three lot yield.
- 0:09:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now we're asking for a two.
- 0:09:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And there's no misinformation on any kind of multifamily that could be available.
- 0:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
- 0:10:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:10:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all I have.
- 0:10:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question for Mr. Blick?
- 0:10:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
- 0:10:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you all.
- 0:10:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anyone else in the audience wish to speak in favor of Ordinance 12?
- 0:10:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anyone in the audience wish to speak against Ordinance 12?
- 0:10:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I hope we have room for two people.
- 0:10:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you would please come, Opie, and give us your name.
- 0:10:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you have five minutes.
- 0:10:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My name is Earl Mintier, but everybody calls me Opie.
- 0:10:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I've got some handouts here and some pictures.
- 0:10:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you'll give them to Sergeant Tranberg.
- 0:10:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can you put one on this side?
- 0:10:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What I'm fighting about is our infrastructure.
- 0:10:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you would also, sir, pass them to.
- 0:10:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, please, Sergeant Tranberg, if you don't mind.
- 0:10:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:10:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Zacharias, there are pictures and stuff.
- 0:10:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The first one is the map of our area.
- 0:10:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our roads.
- 0:10:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We just got a new blacktop on them.
- 0:11:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's great.
- 0:11:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the guy that done it didn't fill in the potholes or the sinkholes.
- 0:11:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript He just paved over top of them.
- 0:11:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, our water lines.
- 0:11:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Two breaks.
- 0:11:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One at the corner of Eva Drive and Brenton Springs.
- 0:11:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And one at [address omitted; hear it in the video at this time].
- 0:11:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they had to come up.
- 0:11:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And dig it, part of the road up, to fix it.
- 0:11:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you don't mind, kind of hang close to that microphone.
- 0:11:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It can't pick you up when you walk.
- 0:11:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
- 0:11:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
- 0:11:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our sidewalks.
- 0:11:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're getting new sidewalks now from Jordan, the 101st, down to 41.
- 0:11:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're grateful.
- 0:11:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:11:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, from this, I'm going to go to my pictures that I want everybody to look at.
- 0:11:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In the paper that I passed around,
- 0:11:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I want you to all.
- 0:11:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Read.
- 0:11:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This area was established in the 60s.
- 0:11:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the people are mostly retired.
- 0:12:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And they bought the lots because they're bigger.
- 0:12:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now they're trying to take a third of an acre and put two houses on it.
- 0:12:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Opie, will you get close to that microphone?
- 0:12:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
- 0:12:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I like to move around.
- 0:12:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I thought I spoke loud enough.
- 0:12:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
- 0:12:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But they're trying to put two houses on this.
- 0:12:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where's our kids going to play?
- 0:12:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The yard is no bigger than this room.
- 0:12:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So you take two rooms and put them at your backyard.
- 0:12:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where's your kids going to play?
- 0:12:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What's our family values?
- 0:12:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's raise our kids to have somewhere to play and stay out of the streets.
- 0:12:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, lot sizes.
- 0:12:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 704 is 6.3 acres.
- 0:12:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One house.
- 0:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, .63.
- 0:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sorry.
- 0:12:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript .63 acres.
- 0:12:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One house.
- 0:12:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A nice big backyard.
- 0:12:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Two side yards.
- 0:12:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Kids can play.
- 0:13:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They don't have to play on the street.
- 0:13:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 711.
- 0:13:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript .48.
- 0:13:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can have my dog in the backyard.
- 0:13:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I got my junk pile.
- 0:13:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a big yard.
- 0:13:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can do stuff.
- 0:13:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When kids come, we have somewhere to play.
- 0:13:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 713.
- 0:13:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Or 715.
- 0:13:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript .35 acres.
- 0:13:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One house.
- 0:13:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Then you go to 713, for Mr. Blick, .33 acres, that's pretty small.
- 0:13:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You divide it in half because he's trying to put two houses on it.
- 0:13:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's less than an eighth of an acre for kids to play on.
- 0:13:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript His backyard, like I say, is no bigger than this.
- 0:13:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So put two of them side to side, and if I'm a mean neighbor, your kids ain't coming on
- 0:13:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript my property.
- 0:13:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript See what I mean?
- 0:13:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where can they play?
- 0:13:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No parks around there.
- 0:13:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I feel it should be one house.
- 0:14:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One house only.
- 0:14:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The new zoning for these houses make them too close.
- 0:14:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if you look at them pictures, you'll see houses that caught fire.
- 0:14:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript While the neighboring houses, since they are too close, also caught fire.
- 0:14:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The siding has melted.
- 0:14:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And they're building them 10, 20 feet apart.
- 0:14:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think our council here ought to go to codes, anything under a half an acre, one house.
- 0:14:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That'd be great.
- 0:14:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It gives you room to grow and you don't have to worry about your house burning.
- 0:14:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I like to sleep at night sometimes.

- 0:18:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript way it looks right now it looks good as mr eric there said but if you put another home there i
- 0:18:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript don't see how he would have the it just wouldn't be right and then he tears down all them trees
- 0:18:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the one that needs to be taken down he didn't take down because it's half dead and it's right
- 0:18:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript next to my yard i mean it's like ridiculous and then he mows it today because he probably thinks
- 0:18:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we were going to say something about it not being taken care of because he only takes care of it
- 0:18:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript whenever he thinks he's going to get in trouble

- 0:25:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the overlays councilman Holliman you recognized thank you mayor so this is a
- 0:25:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript good ordinance I know last week I was kind of kind of on the fence about it
- 0:25:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but but but I've read it and I've thought about it and it's it's a good
- 0:25:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript ordinance you know the fact of the matter is our society has a drug
- 0:25:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript problem you know that's these all these smoke
- 0:25:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript shops exist on every single corner in our city you know Clarksville the smoke
- 0:25:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript shop City because because we residents of Clarksville we we shop at them and
- 0:25:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's that's why they exist
- 0:25:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's a free market someone's someone's giving them money um so but uh but but this is a very
- 0:25:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript very bad problem and we we need to get ahead of it um and so this is this is a step in the right
- 0:25:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript direction it doesn't affect uh stores open right now it just affects future stores that will open
- 0:25:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um to where they where they can open keep them away from religious institutions and schools and
- 0:25:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so like like why is that why is that bad i know last week they talked about uh it was mentioned
- 0:26:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript up here that um you know what's next gas stations and the answer is yeah i think i think absolutely
- 0:26:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we should regulate gas stations because you can buy drugs in gas stations and so like you know
- 0:26:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like how many how many drugs do we need you know i mean look at the the precursors there's things
- 0:26:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript called precursors they're chemicals to to make other drugs um a lot of them come from china
- 0:26:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know fentanyl it's illegal but a lot of them uh the the precursors come from china go to the
- 0:26:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript cartels manufacture fentanyl and this is this is adding up everything
- 0:26:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the market and it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's
- 0:26:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript all together this is not just oh this is one issue separate from this issue no it's all together
- 0:26:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so so all these smoke shops um with all these chemicals and all these drugs that we don't
- 0:26:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript exactly know what's in them and then mix in all the illegal drugs um it's a it's a it's a recipe
- 0:26:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for disaster if you if you study history i'm i've said this once and i'll say it again the
- 0:26:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript chinese opium wars is a is a perfect example of what's going on right now but just look it up
- 0:27:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript opium wars uh that's all thank you councilman chandler you recognized now i'm gonna have to

- 0:27:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript anybody on this council but to compare this to opium wars
- 0:27:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh we're acting
- 0:27:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like we have some kind of i don't know out here uh this it it's not going to stop people from

- 0:27:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript by the state there's all kind of state laws it covers exactly what this is supposed to be doing
- 0:28:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and if you remember last week i said just because there's a
- 0:28:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript state law doesn't mean we have to put a city ordinance in the state law again against murder
- 0:28:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but we don't have a city ordinance against murder i got a big question is okay i heard well
- 0:28:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript anything 25 percent or more who's going to go around who's going to go to these places and say

- 0:30:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman claude
- 0:30:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman claude
- 0:30:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you mr mayor uh respectfully to my council member i wholeheartedly disagree they're not disguised they're neon lit big windows lit up at night and it is not gas stations that our youth are going into because gas stations don't want to lose their license to sell gasoline that is predominantly what they sell these vape shops there's one right down the road from us that is lit up and i have
- 0:30:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript malt
- 0:30:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript personal experience with underage persons going in there time and time again buying vapes
- 0:30:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's a store very close to where i live the same thing it's lit up like a christmas tree and neon lights designed to attract our youth we we're not saying you can't have them we don't want them near our schools we don't want them near our youth i i don't understand why that seems to be such a problem i also understand that just being somebody that's
- 0:31:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that yes gas stations do sell cigarettes as well but they're not painted in neon
- 0:31:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript colors with flashy lights that say youth come come here come here come here we
- 0:31:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript still have to buy gasoline we still have to buy Pepsi but do we need a flashy
- 0:31:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript neon building lit up like a Christmas tree so close to our school for our
- 0:31:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript youth to purchase these items when it is the regulation or the assessment of are
- 0:31:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they old enough is less than in a gas station that is all that councilman
- 0:31:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Streetman you recognized Thank You mayor and I do want to answer the question of
- 0:31:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript regulating this or it yes it would be building in codes and I can assure you
- 0:31:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that I did talk with building in codes before ever bringing this forward and
- 0:31:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they were very much supportive of this ordinance I would not have brought
- 0:32:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript something without at least talking to them first and getting feedback from
- 0:32:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript them and in regard to what the councilman from
- 0:32:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you
- 0:32:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ward 2 talked about it very correct and exactly what you're saying the
- 0:32:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript difference is a gas station they're not marketing and they're not marketing
- 0:32:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript their their tobacco products their vape products that is not what they're
- 0:32:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript looking to market is their number one when you look at their big sign what
- 0:32:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you're going to notice on there is the price of their gasoline that's what
- 0:32:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they are looking for to sell in regard to you know and the 25% I don't think
- 0:32:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript anybody would ever think that 25% of sales for Walmart are going to
- 0:32:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript be falling within are gonna be the vape and tobacco that you have there based on
- 0:32:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the size and the volume of things that are sold at a Walmart and again it goes
- 0:32:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript back to what's being marketed and the group they are trying to market to like
- 0:32:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I said previously this is something that I had numerous people talk to me about
- 0:32:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript prior to even doing this and I went back and talked to a very large group of
- 0:33:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people to get their feedback and see if they felt like this was the right move
- 0:33:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and
- 0:33:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript trying to establish some guidelines for our vape shops and tobacco shops and
- 0:33:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript again this takes them out of falling in with candy it's not the same thing in
- 0:33:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript any way so to me this is a good move and again I would appreciate your support on
- 0:33:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this councilman Holloman you recognized thank you mayor first off from my
- 0:33:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript knowledge gas stations their profit margins for the gasoline is actually
- 0:33:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pretty low so then they have to sell like items and
- 0:33:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript after the gas station if you ever bought like a like a Gatorade in a gas
- 0:33:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript station versus a grocery store like there is quite a substantial price
- 0:33:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript difference because that's that's where their profit margins are so what they do
- 0:33:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is they try to sell whatever they can with people buy and and that has been
- 0:33:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript other types of drugs there was a there was a epidemic it's called like a bottle
- 0:34:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's called Phil free I really don't know but supposedly like people are
- 0:34:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript getting addicted to it
- 0:34:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But that's besides the point.
- 0:34:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're not talking about gas stations.
- 0:34:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're talking about school children and smoke shops.
- 0:34:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, yeah, like why would you want your kid staring at a smoke shop
- 0:34:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like when he gets on the bus and it's like, oh, yeah, just, you know,
- 0:34:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just drive by the smoke shop, big flashy lights like it was mentioned.
- 0:34:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, it's bright.
- 0:34:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's colorful.
- 0:34:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is designed to draw attention to itself.
- 0:34:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like you can make an argument that it's designed to draw attention of children.
- 0:34:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, and it's like you turn on TV and TV, what is it, drinking and smoking?
- 0:34:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, you know, a kid says, hey, what do adults do?
- 0:34:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They watch TV.
- 0:34:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, they cuss.
- 0:34:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They drink.
- 0:34:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let's see, they cuss.
- 0:34:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They drink and they smoke.
- 0:34:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, there's smoke shops right across from the school.
- 0:34:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It must be okay.
- 0:34:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's, you know, liquor stores everywhere.
- 0:34:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, yeah, you know, it's about exposure.
- 0:34:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like why do you want your child's mind to be looking at that?
- 0:35:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so it's like especially a developing mind.
- 0:35:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But that's all I'm going to say on that.
- 0:35:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:35:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Gossman Chandler, you're recognized.
- 0:35:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One last comment.
- 0:35:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I dare anybody sitting in here and I dare anybody listening to this meeting
- 0:35:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to drive by a convenience store gas station
- 0:35:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and find one that doesn't have a cigarette advertisement either on the doors,
- 0:35:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on posters out front, something.
- 0:35:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if we're going to tighten up on smoke shops,
- 0:35:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript again, I go back to who's going to go to Beech's Market.
- 0:35:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Nothing against Beech's Market.
- 0:35:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They just first popped in my mind.
- 0:35:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And say, okay, we want to see your receipts.
- 0:35:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because what are you going to do?
- 0:35:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that the council lady over in Ward 10 doesn't agree with me at all on this.
- 0:36:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Which is fine.
- 0:36:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's good.
- 0:36:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I'm just trying to look out, again, government overreach.
- 0:36:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Every time we turn around, somebody's wanting to add something.
- 0:36:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's all, Mayor.
- 0:36:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm frustrated.
- 0:36:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized.
- 0:36:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just have a point of clarification, Mayor.
- 0:36:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I did it myself, so it's on me just as much.
- 0:36:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's not based on sales.
- 0:36:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's based on your merchandise display area.
- 0:36:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
- 0:36:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's more than 25% of the customer-facing merchandise display area.
- 0:36:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's not the sales.
- 0:36:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So they're not going to be looking at the receipts.
- 0:36:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's strictly based on their display area itself.
- 0:36:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized.
- 0:36:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 0:36:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's been a lot of talk about kids and students and protecting them.
- 0:36:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And as someone with four children,
- 0:36:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think I'm more than qualified to say that I don't want the government
- 0:37:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to ever help me co-parent.
- 0:37:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When it comes to discussions about alcohol and smoking,
- 0:37:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm more than capable, and I know other parents are as well.
- 0:37:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I just want to say I do agree with the Councilman from Ward 4.
- 0:37:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When we're looking at government overreach,
- 0:37:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we shouldn't be using our kids as the fallback.
- 0:37:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I feel like that's what we're doing here.
- 0:37:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is government overreach.
- 0:37:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is limiting small business owners.
- 0:37:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As it was pointed out last week, if someone currently owns a vape shop
- 0:37:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they want to find cheap vape,
- 0:37:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they want to find cheaper rent somewhere,
- 0:37:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is going to very much limit them.
- 0:37:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Another thing that I am going to put out is not just one Councilmember,
- 0:37:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but several will bring information and bring legislation to this Council,
- 0:37:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they will cite sources that are not verifiable.
- 0:37:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For example, group discussions.
- 0:37:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you're having group discussions,
- 0:37:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but you bring nothing forward to this Council to verify it,
- 0:37:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not listening to that, and I'm not taking it into consideration.
- 0:38:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I have no idea what's going on.
- 0:38:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know what groups you're talking to.
- 0:38:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that we need to be very careful when we are putting words
- 0:38:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in the mouths of our department heads when they're not even here to have those discussions.
- 0:38:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would assume that it is accurate that Building and Codes agrees with this legislation,
- 0:38:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but they're not here to say that.
- 0:38:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's all I want to say.
- 0:38:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:38:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:38:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question?
- 0:38:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith, you're recognized.
- 0:38:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 0:38:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm listening to my fellow Councilman,
- 0:38:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and I think both of you on each side has made some good points.
- 0:38:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I think we need to start somewhere making a difference for the safety of our students.
- 0:38:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know we say it's government overreach.
- 0:38:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, our job is to make sure that our children are safe.
- 0:38:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our job is to make sure that these smoke shops are not so close to our schools,
- 0:38:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where it's so accessible for the children to get, you know,
- 0:38:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hooked up before they go to school, walk to school.
- 0:39:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've had complaints from some of the people that sell.
- 0:39:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript These smoke cigarettes.
- 0:39:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know what you call them, but and they said that they wish that we could regulate this
- 0:39:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because so many children are coming in or teams.
- 0:39:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're getting people to buy them for them, and I think we have to start somewhere.
- 0:39:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have to look at this from the sense that, hey, that could be my child going over there
- 0:39:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before school to get a cigarette or whatever they call the thing, smoke thing.
- 0:39:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But anyway, I think it's for the safety of the children.
- 0:39:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we need to start somewhere.
- 0:39:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Making a difference.
- 0:39:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that we can regulate, we need to regulate if we didn't have laws in place,
- 0:39:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we would be uncivilized, so we need laws to keep us civilized.
- 0:39:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so I don't think this is so much of a government overreach.
- 0:39:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it's for the safety of the kids.
- 0:39:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Number one, number two, um, also, uh, there could be a robbery in the place where the smoke shops are.
- 0:40:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This could also be safety where the police can get.
- 0:40:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're on time to, uh, protect the schools from being so close or being involved in this shooting or anything.
- 0:40:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Robbery, anything.
- 0:40:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we need to make a difference, uh, start, you know, doing something to make a change for a better Clarksville for a safer Clarksville for students, parents and citizens.
- 0:40:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, ma'am.

- 0:45:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
- 0:45:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, we just, this passed the first time, and we just denied a parcel that had one home already built that could have had three that was 0.33 acres.
- 0:45:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We also denied a parcel that was 0.34 acres for three homes in the exact same area, and this is 0.37 acres,
- 0:45:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they have requested...
- 0:45:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They have requested three homes.
- 0:45:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, ironically, I say that every case is independent in and of itself, and there are members of this council that I have spoken to prior to being a council member about consistency in voting,
- 0:45:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as well as candidates running for positions and why I vote the way that I vote and how it doesn't seem consistent across the board.
- 0:46:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I do believe that every case is individual, but I think that...
- 0:46:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript virtue of the location of this property compared to the two that we just denied it warrants
- 0:46:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript another discussion based on the size of the land the proximity to the other properties in britain
- 0:46:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript springs and a disenfranchised community that arguably could seem like they've been pushed out
- 0:46:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh and homes built i guess that's all mayor okay any comment or question regarding this ordinance
- 0:46:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman smith you recognize on ordinance one yes um yeah thank you i just want to know has the
- 0:46:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript contractors start building on these or have they finished or what i don't know usually they start
- 0:46:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript after we pass it on the first reading this is no where are we this is second reading so they
- 0:46:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript wouldn't be allowed to even pull a permit without a properly zoned so it's not enacted yet okay
- 0:46:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you any other comment or question councilman brown you recognized on this ordinance thank you
- 0:47:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript mayor
- 0:47:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i understand the the reason for pulling this and i'm not opposed to that my recommendation would
- 0:47:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript be to postpone this a month to give this person that applied for this a chance to come back and
- 0:47:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript speak to us about this so that you know they were here last month and it was approved and
- 0:47:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know they didn't know this might come up this month so to pull it back just to give
- 0:47:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript them
- 0:47:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript another chance to uh voice their reasons for for this but i understand you know putting three on
- 0:47:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this one but just the next street over denying them being able to put two i totally agree with
- 0:47:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that but you know i would ask for postpone for a month for the requester to have a chance to speak
- 0:47:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript motion been made to postpone ordinance one to the october 2026 regular session do i hear a second
- 0:48:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript second properly seconded uh we're addressing the motion to postpone now councilman lobato you're
- 0:48:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript recognized thank you mayor um correct me if i'm wrong but even on a second reading if it is
- 0:48:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript postponed they wouldn't be able to come up here and speak no there would be no public hearing okay
- 0:48:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so it wouldn't really be beneficial to postpone it councilman holloman you recognized on the motion
- 0:48:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to postpone thank you mayor i mean this is just my opinion i mean even even if they were to speak like
- 0:48:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're pretty generous to the builders you know like i mean how many times have we sent a rezone

- 0:50:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript commission councilman streetman no this is not gone yet before the regional planning commission
- 0:50:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because this would need to be done first in order to determine exactly how the zoning request and
- 0:50:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript layout would be for that as well as for the other departments to be able to dictate exactly how the
- 0:50:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript traffic would work with the very if you're going to have various accesses because they
- 0:50:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript would be realigning it with um i'm just drawing a blank today i apologize they would be real on it
- 0:50:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no dunlop is what where they'd be realigning one of the roads as well as having another access point
- 0:50:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh okay but wasn't wasn't there a case before the regional planning commission on the feltner
- 0:50:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript property that got deferred by the regional planning commission it was on their original agenda

- 0:51:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before you do that get a motion if you don't mind excuse me we need a motion for a motion to motion
- 0:51:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for approval properly second now okay there we go thank you there we go uh if we're saying that we
- 0:51:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript give right-of-ways
- 0:51:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before we ever find out what they want that right away to lead to
- 0:51:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's kind of like putting the cart before the horse isn't it i mean uh this stretch of road out
- 0:51:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there is absolutely ungodly to try to drive on right now uh i have to go out to premier medical
- 0:51:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and to arcadia
- 0:52:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh assisted living quite often and especially in the morning 8 10 30
- 0:52:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript traffic is bumper to bumper i think the speed limit is 40 or 45. it's got the one traffic signal
- 0:52:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on it it's at uh turning in dunlop lane again what has been asked of us is to approve driveway
- 0:52:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 내일
- 0:52:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript already recommended for deferral so we didn't even vote on it or look at it because it was waiting
- 0:52:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for this to come through first it was actually determined by the regional planning commission
- 0:52:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript street department everyone that this was the process that needed to happen first first they
- 0:53:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript needed to go through and get the access granted to the city there had been some work that there was a lot of work that we should have done really helped them get a sense of what, they did not have enough access other construction and projects they found land parking roads because they don't really want to be able to come on office
- 0:53:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before they could then bring forward because that would dictate the zoning lines.
- 0:53:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Otherwise, you would do one, then the access would come through,
- 0:53:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then it would have to come back again because that would change what their plan was to do there.
- 0:53:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So this is actually the proper step, and it was looked at by Mr. Bittner was involved in conversations.
- 0:53:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Tindall was involved in conversations.
- 0:53:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Smith, there was a lot that worked on this to determine the exact path this needed to go to be able to do this.
- 0:53:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, it's to give two access points to Ted Crozier Boulevard.
- 0:53:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Only we can grant that in this particular area.
- 0:53:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And one of those would be to where it would realign Dunlop, the old Dunlop part of the road,
- 0:53:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where it would realign with Dunlop Lane and intersect right where the light is.
- 0:53:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They're going to be the ones doing the work and paying to do everything to realign.
- 0:53:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That road, which would allow then with anything that is developed over there,
- 0:54:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you actually have a straight shot for the police, fire, the emergency to be able to go to and from to get access into there.
- 0:54:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There is, bear with me, my iPad turned off.
- 0:54:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you even look, you can see right where they are in the attachment,
- 0:54:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what their plan is for where they're wanting to access
- 0:54:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and how they would be.
- 0:54:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Realigning that right now, you have the old Dunlop that doesn't line up right with the light.
- 0:54:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So it's just beyond it.
- 0:54:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This would put it where it intersects directly with it.
- 0:54:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just a better plan and better traffic movement to be able to go through there
- 0:54:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript than having that traffic come in and out just beyond the lights.
- 0:54:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Back to you, Councilman Chandler.
- 0:54:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, maybe I haven't paid attention.
- 0:54:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Maybe I've got brain cramp.
- 0:55:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Maybe I've got a brain tumor.
- 0:55:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't know.
- 0:55:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Don't say that.
- 0:55:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Don't say that.
- 0:55:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Don't say that.
- 0:55:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't ever recall, I don't ever recall us ever voting on giving a driveway connection
- 0:55:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript without some kind of plan.
- 0:55:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand they're going to realign this, realign that.
- 0:55:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What are you realigning it to?
- 0:55:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's my big question.
- 0:55:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What are you going to, you know, this is quite a bit of property over here.
- 0:55:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Are we going to put whatever in there?
- 0:55:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we're saying, okay, well, one driveway at Dunlop Lane, realign that.
- 0:55:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where's the other one going?
- 0:55:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because I asked for two.
- 0:55:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where's the other one going?
- 0:55:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You're going to bring it out in the middle of all that curve and traffic and stuff down there?
- 0:55:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, I'm sorry, folks, but I don't care what the regional planning,
- 0:56:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't care what the regional planning,
- 0:56:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't care what the regional planning commission said.
- 0:56:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't care what building code said.
- 0:56:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't care what street department said.
- 0:56:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If you will look at this ordinance, it's these 13 people sitting right here that says yes or no.
- 0:56:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And for once in our lifetime, let's look at, I just, I saw a thing the other day,
- 0:56:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript okay, with development, development, development.
- 0:56:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I saw a thing the other day.
- 0:56:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Where a government is going to spend $5 million so a contractor can build houses.
- 0:56:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript How long does it take for that government to reclaim that $5 million they just spent?
- 0:57:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know what the answer is going to be.
- 0:57:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, this is just farmland over there.
- 0:57:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're not getting any tax revenue off of it.
- 0:57:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But when we start having to put in extra lanes,
- 0:57:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when we have to start putting in other, more traffic signals,
- 0:57:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when we start having to make up for what's not done,
- 0:57:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to open up an area as big as this is,
- 0:57:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript then maybe not this year, maybe not next year,
- 0:57:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I'll guarantee you, you look at all over town,
- 0:57:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript five, ten years down the road,
- 0:57:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we're going to pay for it.
- 0:57:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 0:57:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized.
- 0:57:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 0:57:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, to me, what this is saying is,
- 0:57:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is where we're going to let you connect to the road at.
- 0:57:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Now, you have to design off of that,
- 0:57:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript saying it's connecting here and it's connecting here.
- 0:57:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The other connection is down closer to Weatherly,
- 0:58:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and looking at where it's going to be,
- 0:58:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's already at where there's a break in the center,
- 0:58:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you know, to where they can connect to,
- 0:58:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that would be able to make a turn at,
- 0:58:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to cross the road.
- 0:58:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But, to me, what we're doing is saying,
- 0:58:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript these are the only two connections you're going to have.
- 0:58:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what you design for putting in there,
- 0:58:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which will be reviewed later,
- 0:58:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is you're not going to put any more connections,
- 0:58:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's all you get.
- 0:58:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, they're not going to be able to put three or four more in there,
- 0:58:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just wherever they decide.
- 0:58:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's, this is what you get, and that's what you get.
- 0:58:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So,
- 0:58:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to me, it's kind of making them work with what we see on the road,
- 0:58:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and realigning that Dunlop Lane as that's what you get.
- 0:58:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And you, you've got to work with what we're allowing.
- 0:58:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:58:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, have you recognized?
- 0:58:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes.
- 0:58:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 0:58:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 0:58:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript An easy way to put this, and I'm going to do an example on Rossy Road,
- 0:59:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript right there at the Virginia Hills entrance.
- 0:59:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have a three-way intersection.
- 0:59:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript About 150 feet up on Basham and Rossview,
- 0:59:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript we have another three-way intersection.
- 0:59:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I've talked to the street department about trying to get that to be just one
- 0:59:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript single four-way intersection,
- 0:59:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because it's very hard for either one of those,
- 0:59:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript those turning lanes to try to gauge.
- 0:59:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And even there, there's a blinking light there on Basham.
- 0:59:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's still very hard to gauge,
- 0:59:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because now, instead of just looking one and two ways,
- 0:59:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you've got to watch these other guys at another three-way intersection.
- 0:59:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So you have the same thing right there on, on Dunlap and Ted Crozier.
- 0:59:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just right up from it, the, the, the Dunlap connector is a three-way,
- 0:59:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then you've got Dunlap as a connect, as a three-way.
- 0:59:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Connect them before they do any building,
- 0:59:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and that way you've got one strong four-way intersection,
- 1:00:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript versus when you build all this stuff, someone's going to say,
- 1:00:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why didn't they connect this the right way the first time around?
- 1:00:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we'll miss it, right?
- 1:00:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And, and I deal with it every day right there on Rossview,
- 1:00:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript coming out of Virginia Hills on Roanoke, and then on Basham Lane.
- 1:00:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The roads are so close, two, three intersections,
- 1:00:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that we have to maneuver because someone didn't connect it the first time around.
- 1:00:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:00:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized.
- 1:00:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:00:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I couldn't say it any better than the person that spoke before me just now.
- 1:00:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, the, you can see their plan and where they are asking,
- 1:00:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript asking to connect.
- 1:00:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It is right here in our packet for you to be able to see the realignment of the other road,
- 1:00:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then just as was stated from the ward member from Ward 9,
- 1:00:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or the council member from Ward 9,
- 1:00:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript then you can see the other one is where there's already a break in the curb
- 1:00:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to be able to connect there.
- 1:00:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The zoning case would come before us right now at Zoned Ag,
- 1:00:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so we'll be voting on the zoning at a later date.
- 1:01:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This particular stretch of the road cannot have,
- 1:01:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have accesses without us approving the access.
- 1:01:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That is why, when it had to do with when this road was put in
- 1:01:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and right away was purchased,
- 1:01:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this particular area requires us for them to be able to change that access and do this.
- 1:01:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that's why this is different than in other cases.
- 1:01:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, as was stated for the council member from Ward 11,
- 1:01:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this is allowing us, we have the opportunity to weigh in on this
- 1:01:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and ensure that it's built in a safer manner.
- 1:01:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And again, they're the ones,
- 1:01:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're the ones paying to make this connection and realign this road,
- 1:01:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not us as city taxpayers.
- 1:01:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler.
- 1:01:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One more time, Mayor.
- 1:01:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't forget about the big development that's fixing to go in just north of all this.
- 1:01:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm not talking about just, you know, a little strip mall.
- 1:01:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're fixing to have a huge, major development.
- 1:02:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Look at that road.
- 1:02:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all.
- 1:02:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.

- 1:06:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I apologize, Mr. Mayor.
- 1:06:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just have a question.
- 1:06:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Who will have privy to that information, the mayor only or just to make sure that nothing is wonky, so to speak?
- 1:06:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In the military, if I wanted access to information, I had to apply for a clearance or justify the reason why.
- 1:06:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that there still needs to be some type of checks and balances, not that it needs to be public,
- 1:06:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but that if it's the mayor that holds the key, that I can go ask the mayor for the key and sit in his office and see who it is,
- 1:06:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript understanding that I'm not going to repeat that information in a public forum or setting.
- 1:06:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, the Freedom of Information Act would regulate what is allowed to be redacted,
- 1:06:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and state law gives us the authority provided the local government opts in.
- 1:06:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the only people privy to that would be the IT department as well as the finance department who will pay the bill.
- 1:06:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would not be broadly shared, and you could not come and see that information.
- 1:06:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It would have to be redacted just because it would be a security risk if we put it out there.
- 1:07:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, again, sir, I understand that.
- 1:07:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But if I feel like maybe there's a potential conflict of interest with the vendor that was selected,
- 1:07:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript like what's the checks and balances of I didn't – my sister isn't who gets hired to do X, Y, and Z
- 1:07:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because I pushed the contract.
- 1:07:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I pushed the contract to her, and obviously I'm not in IT.
- 1:07:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They would not want me down there.
- 1:07:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Me either.
- 1:07:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah.
- 1:07:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But like what is that – the balance of that?
- 1:07:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Like what does that look like I guess is my thought process or question there.
- 1:07:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not sure I'm following the question.
- 1:07:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Attorney Bittner, would you bail me out here, phone a friend?
- 1:07:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, bail me out too apparently.
- 1:07:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In that particular case,
- 1:07:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think you're correct.
- 1:07:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're talking about purchasing department.
- 1:07:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They could do a bid protest if they had any question about that.
- 1:08:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Whether they were selected properly, they could do a bid protest,
- 1:08:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and then we would have a hearing on it to determine if it was done accurately.
- 1:08:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, sir.
- 1:08:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I guess I would like to redact my question.
- 1:08:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What he said.
- 1:08:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized.
- 1:08:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Bittner said exactly what I was going to say.
- 1:08:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, not exactly, but I was going to talk about purchasing department.
- 1:08:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that's who would be keeping that checks and balance in place.
- 1:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.

- 1:14:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's properly seconded.

- 1:14:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 1:14:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, the original ordinance gives the Street Department Director the permission to waive
- 1:14:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a requirement that we...
- 1:14:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have put in place for sidewalks in certain instances.
- 1:14:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, this Council has put these in because we want sidewalks in certain places, which
- 1:14:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the reason for this issue has came up, which I totally understand, agree with, but I don't
- 1:15:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think it should just fall on the Director of the Streets Department.
- 1:15:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, my amendment is for any request to waive...
- 1:15:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The requirement of the sidewalks would come to the Transportation, Streets, and Garage
- 1:15:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Committee for approval.
- 1:15:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
- 1:15:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.

- 1:15:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I feel like this is the easy button.
- 1:16:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For consistency and transparency and full fairness, we should just rewrite the code.
- 1:16:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If there's a consistent issue where a waiver is needed, then for fairness, let's just rewrite
- 1:16:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the code.
- 1:16:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I don't understand why that's not the path that we're taking, where we're just giving

- 1:16:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I don't understand why that's not the path that we're taking, where we're just giving
- 1:16:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript In general, I don't think that any sidewalk should be waived, so I will be voting no for

- 1:16:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I didn't know what my colleague was going to say before I pushed it.
- 1:16:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I agree completely.
- 1:16:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I voted for the amendment because if an exception is going to be made, it should be made by
- 1:16:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at least a portion of the people who passed the ordinance.
- 1:16:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 1:16:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm not going to be voting for the amendment.
- 1:16:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But our walkability score in Clarksville is 18 out of 100.
- 1:16:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay?
- 1:16:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That means that unless you own a vehicle in Clarksville, it is very difficult, if not
- 1:16:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript impossible, to do the things that you need to do to live in this city.

- 1:17:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript when you're talking about a brand new development new roads everything with that yes that you've got
- 1:17:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to have those sidewalks but when you're talking about infill and you're talking about building
- 1:17:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript one two maybe three homes on a road where there's no sidewalks at this time at all you're building
- 1:17:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a sidewalk to nowhere with the requirement as it currently is stated so you've got three house two
- 1:17:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript or three houses with a sidewalk in front of it and nothing else and that does affect the
- 1:17:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript affordability for homes i know that um i serve on the joint um affordable housing committee and this
- 1:17:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is something we've talked about in there as something that adds to the cost of affordable
- 1:18:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript houses and one of the things that was referenced was even habitat for humanity brought forward
- 1:18:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a planned where they're building one house and be even the rule required that sidewalk
- 1:18:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript had to go there so this does affect that affordability and we know that prices are
- 1:18:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript continuing to rise on that so i think there are occasions where that sidewalk could be waived but
- 1:18:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i like it better with this amendment in place where it is the committee looking at it and at
- 1:18:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript least there's a reasoning that can be brought and explained to the committee why that is being
- 1:18:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript requested and then the committee has that opportunity to choose to waive it or not
- 1:18:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman brown you recognized thank you mayor
- 1:18:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so you know this is you know my amendment on it but i agree i don't want to waive any sidewalks in
- 1:18:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a residential area neighborhood the problem that's come up is there's a business just this particular
- 1:18:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript one is wanting to build and we're requiring them to put sidewalks on the state route 374
- 1:19:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that people should not be walking on and the state is not going to let them put sidewalks on there
- 1:19:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so we're kind of in the in a bind here it's like
- 1:19:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this business is wanting to move here but we're requiring them to put sidewalks where the state
- 1:19:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript route is saying you're not putting sidewalks on us so this just gives us a route to say okay this
- 1:19:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript incident is we can waive those but residential i'm not going to want to waive any sidewalks for any
- 1:19:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript residential area but it's those cases where you know the planning commission says well this is
- 1:19:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript your rule so we can't approve these site plans
- 1:19:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because your rule says they have to have sidewalks or at least this way it comes to
- 1:19:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a group of the council for approval to waive the sidewalks and so that's my reasoning here
- 1:20:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you thank you councilman smith you recognized thank you mayor i think that
- 1:20:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you have a good amendment and i you know i agree with that on the basis of uh what you
- 1:20:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript were saying about the uh state road or highway but uh you have people walking
- 1:20:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript everywhere like 41a we have sidewalks out there 41a and we have sidewalks i think women rudolph
- 1:20:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript boulevard and people are going to walk everywhere and i think we need sidewalks everywhere because
- 1:20:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sidewalks connect us to homes parks bus stops you know and it provides a safe path to encourage
- 1:20:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript people to walk in exercise also um we need to have walking of availability for all people and i think
- 1:20:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that your amendment makes a statement about what you said but i also think we need to not uh exempt
- 1:20:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript any sidewalks uh nothing against your amendment but i'm just saying i think we need to um stick
- 1:21:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with trying to make clarsville a safer place to walk to ride the bus
- 1:21:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to or to wrap your bike or just whatever i just think we need more walkability here
- 1:21:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript if you have to walk to the bus stop let me say it let me make that clear walk to the bus stop
- 1:21:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you need to because i see people standing on side of the road there's no sidewalk to get to
- 1:21:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the bus stop so if the buses decide to run out that way we have some sidewalks for children or
- 1:21:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript seeing senior seniors or whoever may want to walk
- 1:21:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so i would be
- 1:21:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript voting against this because i i just don't believe that we need to uh determine whether we should
- 1:21:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript exempt sidewalks or not thank you mayor councilman brown thank you mayor so i agree we need sidewalks
- 1:21:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript pretty much everywhere but what we're running into is this controlled access highway
- 1:22:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the state will not allow sidewalks on it and we're requiring them in our ordinance so this business
- 1:22:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that wants to come here you know to bring some more jobs opportunities you know
- 1:22:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they'll just go somewhere else you know because we've put them in a bind where
- 1:22:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they're gonna have to build a sidewalk that they can't because the state won't allow them
- 1:22:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so this just gives that opportunity to waive that on that for that reason but like you said
- 1:22:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's all kinds of roads that we need the sidewalks on and that's going to be required
- 1:22:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, this just gives an avenue of saying this particular one
- 1:22:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because you can't put sidewalks on there because it's the state's road
- 1:22:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and they're not going to let you.
- 1:22:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's just the reason for that.
- 1:22:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 1:22:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, you're recognized.
- 1:22:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think we're missing the point here.
- 1:23:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The point here was that the reason that was presented to the committee
- 1:23:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was that the director of streets had sole power to say no or yes.
- 1:23:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what Councilman Brown's thing is is taking it away from one person.
- 1:23:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One person should never have the authority to kill anything that's in city ordinance.
- 1:23:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so with that,
- 1:23:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll be,
- 1:23:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll be voting in favor of it because it takes it away from one person
- 1:23:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and puts it into a committee.
- 1:23:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:23:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 1:23:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Smith, you're recognized.
- 1:23:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:23:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yeah, we understood exactly what this amendment was all about,
- 1:23:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript was to take it out of the hand of the director
- 1:23:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because that is struck out of requirements to the director.
- 1:23:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's struck out, and it is for the committee to make that decision.
- 1:23:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that very well.
- 1:24:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But as I said, maybe we need to collaborate with the state,
- 1:24:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to let them know that this is what we need.
- 1:24:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We do have a legislative committee that do talks,
- 1:24:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that meet and talks with legislators.
- 1:24:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I was on that committee several times to let them know what is important here in Clarksville.
- 1:24:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so if we talk with some of the state representatives,
- 1:24:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they might change their mind and they might listen
- 1:24:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because we have put forth items that we have thought were,
- 1:24:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as a committee, thought were important for the safety of this city.
- 1:24:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And for the good of this community.
- 1:24:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, you know, anything can be changed.
- 1:24:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not against this amendment.
- 1:24:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand it very well that we don't want one person to make the decision.
- 1:24:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We want the committee to make that decision.
- 1:24:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that's a good idea.
- 1:24:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I still think we need to collaborate and, you know,
- 1:24:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript send forth some information to the state that, you know, we do need this.
- 1:24:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, we all can change our minds, making things better.
- 1:25:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because, you know, walking on 374 is dangerous because we don't have sidewalks.
- 1:25:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:25:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Zacharias, you're recognized.
- 1:25:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:25:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just I want to make sure we're all clear on what we're voting here, or voting on.
- 1:25:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The original ordinance that we are considering changing
- 1:25:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript did not allow for an exemption in any circumstance.
- 1:25:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, yes, this ordinance was brought forward to create a waiver,
- 1:25:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a process, as it were.
- 1:25:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And my colleague from Ward 9 rightfully moved the approval authority of that waiver process
- 1:25:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from the director of the street department to the Transportation, Streets, and Garage Committee.
- 1:25:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But ultimately, we're still deciding on whether that should be a waivable requirement.
- 1:25:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think that's what the conversation has been about.
- 1:26:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And my position still stands.
- 1:26:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There should not be a waiver to that process.
- 1:26:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
- 1:26:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any more comment or question regarding this ordinance as amended?
- 1:26:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Seeing none, hearing none, are you ready to vote?

- 1:26:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you all.

- 1:28:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Item A under new business is Resolution 14-2026-27.

- 1:28:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:28:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, the first go-around of naming streets, honorary naming of streets, I voted in favor of those two.
- 1:29:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then the second go-around, I was not present at that meeting.
- 1:29:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, this go-around, I will be voting no, but it's nothing personal.
- 1:29:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, I just kind of really thought about it.
- 1:29:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And just for me personally, nothing against anybody, but I just feel like it's kind of vain
- 1:29:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because if you look at what's happening in other cities, it's just only a matter of time
- 1:29:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript before someone gets up here and just decides, you know what, we're just going to change a bunch of names.
- 1:29:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And so, I just feel like it's kind of vain, and, you know, that's just my take on it.
- 1:29:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That's all.
- 1:29:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.

- 1:29:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll be voting in favor of this.
- 1:29:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I can't say anything near as wonderful as the councilperson from Ward 4 said last week,
- 1:29:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I thought the world of Sergeant Hunt.
- 1:29:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They lived over near me, and everything that he has done for our community,
- 1:29:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm very excited to see this on here and to have the opportunity to vote for this
- 1:29:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and grateful for all that he did for us.

- 1:30:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I have to follow along.
- 1:30:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript What was said by my fellow councilman is that Sergeant Hunt and I started out at Austin Peay State University together.
- 1:30:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've been knowing him before he ever got married.
- 1:30:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know his wife, and he's a very nice person.
- 1:30:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As a matter of fact, before he died, he took me out to eat and really take me out.
- 1:30:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I met him there with some more people that were sitting there, and we just really enjoyed talking.
- 1:30:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I didn't know he was that sick, but he's a very nice guy.
- 1:30:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I love his wife.
- 1:30:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript She's a sweet lady.
- 1:30:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But anyway, he was a good guy, and I think he deserves this recognition for all the work that he has done in this city.
- 1:30:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
- 1:30:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
