  2. 0:00:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript four of Clarksville's housing developments when kids are out of school. July, we serve 3,374
  3. 0:00:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript meals. August, 2,275 meals. September, 364 meals. November and December, we will continue to serve
  4. 0:00:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript those neighborhoods when kids are out of school for fall and Christmas break. We also do case
  5. 0:00:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript management and pastoral care, clothing and furniture vouchers through our thrift store,
  6. 0:00:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is, I don't know many other thrift stores that give out free stuff, but we do emergency
  7. 0:00:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript transportation assistance, including bus and gasoline vouchers, showers and laundry services
  8. 0:00:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for individuals experiencing homelessness. Even though our permanent shelter lasts,
  9. 0:00:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript lacks sustainable funding, we are able to operate last winter for a period of about 70 days in
  10. 0:00:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript extreme winter weather. During that time, we had a continued support from Community Action Agency
  11. 0:01:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with family referrals and case management. Our family rooms stayed full last year and we were
  12. 0:01:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript able to lighten the burden of mixing the female and male homeless population, us housing the
  13. 0:01:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript single women and urban ministries sheltering the male population.
  14. 0:01:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This lowered employee and client incidents for both parties. Our clientele are first and foremost
  15. 0:01:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript low-income families and individuals who are living from one crisis to the next. These individuals and
  16. 0:01:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript families residing in Clarksville, Montgomery County are most at risk to facing homelessness.
  17. 0:01:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When they walk through our doors for shelter, they predominantly are at rock bottom. No hope
  18. 0:01:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and no one else to turn to.
  19. 0:01:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This year, being my first in Clarksville, I experienced the hardships of over 35 homeless women and nine families seeking shelter from extreme weather.
  20. 0:02:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript During that time, these individuals had a place to call a temporary home. The love of Christ and the Gospel was shared with every one of them.
  21. 0:02:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That being said, we gave our clientele a place of rest, spiritually and physically allowing them to give sincere thought about what their future may look like.
  22. 0:02:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It gave them confidence and a fresh start, and a hope that only Jesus can give.
  23. 0:02:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript One of the primary reasons I wanted to speak with you tonight is to make you aware of the
  24. 0:02:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript challenge we are facing as we prepare for winter.
  25. 0:02:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Salvation Army wants to be able to provide winter weather shelter services this season.
  26. 0:02:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript However, providing that service comes with significant operating costs, and we have not
  27. 0:02:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript yet secured the funding necessary to operate the winter weather shelter.
  28. 0:02:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We are actively working with donors, our advisory board, and community partners to identify the resources that would make those services possible.
  29. 0:03:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Because those resources have not yet been secured, I don't want to make a promise tonight that we are not in a position to guarantee.
  30. 0:03:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I do want you, as leaders of our community, to understand the need, and to know that the Salvation Army is actively working toward a solution.
  31. 0:03:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The winter weather shelter is an immediate concern for our community.
  32. 0:03:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But our vision extends beyond that.
  33. 0:03:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Salvation Army wants to be a lasting presence in Clarksville, providing shelter and other
  34. 0:03:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript social services that meet both immediate needs and help people move toward greater stability.
  35. 0:03:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A bed addresses what someone needs tonight.
  36. 0:03:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Our goal is to help address what they will need for their future.
  37. 0:03:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For us to provide those services sustainably,
  38. 0:03:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it will require strong,
  39. 0:03:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript community partnerships,
  40. 0:03:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and reliable local support.
  41. 0:03:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm here tonight because I believe it's important for you to understand the work the Salvation Army continues to do in Clarksville,
  42. 0:04:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and the challenge we're facing as winter approaches,
  43. 0:04:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and our desire to be a lasting, sustainable partner in community response to homelessness.
  44. 0:04:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Lieutenant.
  45. 0:04:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you for your time.
  46. 0:04:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you very much.
  47. 0:04:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, sir.
  48. 0:04:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Next on our list is Barry Schmidto.
  49. 0:04:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Mr. Schmidto, if you would, please come give us your name, and you have five minutes.
  50. 0:04:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Barry Schmidto.
  51. 0:04:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I love AI.
  52. 0:04:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The packets that I gave you, I made the printouts with Canva AI.
  53. 0:04:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's the one that may kill us all that I don't like too much.
  54. 0:04:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I became intently involved in researching this since I saw Anthropic's CEO with Emily Chang on the circuit say that there's a 10 to 25 percent chance that AI may destroy society.
  55. 0:04:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The Homeland Security Disaster Subcommittee,
  56. 0:04:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript meeting has both the Democrats and Republicans and a group of scientists talking about the dangers of AI.
  57. 0:04:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Excuse me.
  58. 0:04:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've been up since 3 trying to get the packets and everything ready.
  59. 0:05:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The handout I researched, I prompted Google for the answers.
  60. 0:05:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Google sometimes does build us up, so I've tried to verify everything I've had time to, but it probably needs some more.
  61. 0:05:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The packet has a community letter to send out to people.
  62. 0:05:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It basically covers what Ready.gov is.
  63. 0:05:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Ready.gov already suggests to everybody.
  64. 0:05:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The second one has cybersecurity breaches.
  65. 0:05:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There have been major breaches, Homeland Security, the Pentagon, and the FBI, where millions of employees' information was released to the dark web.
  66. 0:05:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's people's lives that are in danger right now, and these happened in the last few months.
  67. 0:05:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The third packet is probably the most important.
  68. 0:05:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I didn't title it well.
  69. 0:05:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It starts with a quote from Google.
  70. 0:05:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The last bullet point, talking about military air gaps, that's where I hope y'all will do something about it.
  71. 0:05:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Y'all have a lot more influence than I do as a citizen or than any citizen does.
  72. 0:06:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And during the Homeland Security desk or subcommittee meeting, there were a lot of people, a lot of other quotes, including Bill Gates, talking about –
  73. 0:06:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Bill Gates said that AI is much more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
  74. 0:06:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the most dangerous thing man has ever created.
  75. 0:06:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the last bullet on military – that says quote from Google, that's the most important thing.
  76. 0:06:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The last one is the PHP meltdown.
  77. 0:06:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We had a two-month period where we were all at risk of being in a society that was destroyed.
  78. 0:06:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And the PHP – and it's the underpinning of all of our computer systems.
  79. 0:06:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've been telling people a long time there's just too many problems in computers.
  80. 0:06:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's – it's just too many problems in computers.
  81. 0:06:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's too complex.
  82. 0:06:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But anyway, so they found a group of ethical hackers.
  83. 0:06:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They found the software problems.
  84. 0:06:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript For two months, they were working on it, trying to get it fixed before the bad actors crashed the whole internet in our society.
  85. 0:07:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we – for two months, we were all at risk of society being destroyed.
  86. 0:07:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And that last – the PHP meltdown, the hug-your-face one, that also put us at risk of it.
  87. 0:07:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But anyway, so they found a group of ethical hackers.
  88. 0:07:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We had a two-month period where we were all at risk of society being destroyed.
  89. 0:07:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm blanking on one and I had surgery on the other.
  90. 0:07:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Oh, ethical hackers are really important.
  91. 0:07:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They work for free, and sometimes they get a lot of money to do it.
  92. 0:07:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But they actually hack the system.
  93. 0:07:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript They have permission to do it.
  94. 0:07:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And they go in and try to find these flaws.
  95. 0:07:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And PHP, which is the underpinning of our security – of our internet and our – I'm
  96. 0:07:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript sorry, of our computers.
  97. 0:07:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's – it's like – I don't know.
  98. 0:07:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You know, it's computers built on faulty math.
  99. 0:07:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it was okay at first because we didn't have all these cyber hackers and everything.
  100. 0:07:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But it's a huge problem now.
  101. 0:08:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript During the disaster subcommittee meeting, Dr. Hobhon, who is a doctor of machine science,
  102. 0:08:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript he said that the hug-your-face incident was a warning shot.
  103. 0:08:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We may not get another one.
  104. 0:08:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've got to find out about how to do it.
  105. 0:08:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've got to send you all links, what you – what I can link you to, stuff like that.
  106. 0:08:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I'll get you a link to that.
  107. 0:08:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You can, you know, Google search it, too.
  108. 0:08:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've got so much information, my head's about to explode.
  109. 0:08:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I just wanted to get to you all.
  110. 0:08:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I spoke to the commission.
  111. 0:08:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it was the 19th.
  112. 0:08:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Told them, you know, this – it's just way too complex.
  113. 0:08:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're in deep trouble.
  114. 0:08:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it was two days later that the PHP story broke.
  115. 0:08:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I Google searched.
  116. 0:08:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Is Montgomery County covered by that?
  117. 0:08:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it said, yeah.
  118. 0:08:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But one of the sources of that had Russian letters beside it.
  119. 0:08:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And it was a built-with website.
  120. 0:08:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There's bots crawling.
  121. 0:09:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I mean, there's risk for all of us.
  122. 0:09:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But the Internet, it's like – it's really bad.
  123. 0:09:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anyway, sorry.
  124. 0:09:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This is my speech.
  125. 0:09:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So thank you all very much.
  126. 0:09:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript God bless you.

  447. 0:35:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MS.
  448. 0:35:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, I would not.
  449. 0:35:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If the development on that lot were to be matching with that of the neighborhood, my
  450. 0:35:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript feelings and the feelings of my neighbors as well is that, sure, develop it, but put
  451. 0:35:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript something that fits with the vibe of the neighborhood.
  452. 0:35:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We've got a very cohesive community.
  453. 0:35:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We like what we have.

  456. 0:36:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'd also like to speak to that corner lot that houses the duplex right now.
  457. 0:36:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As you all know, everything that touches Dover Road is bound for commercial development.
  458. 0:36:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just a matter of time.
  459. 0:36:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So that 50-plus foot barrier of greenery that was described as staying in place is not going
  460. 0:36:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to stay in place very long.
  461. 0:36:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As the commercial corridor fills in along Dover Road.
  462. 0:36:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
  463. 0:36:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Can you also tell me about the experience that you had with your house when the coffee
  464. 0:36:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript shop and that building on the other side was built?
  465. 0:36:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Sure.
  466. 0:36:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I understand that development is necessary.
  467. 0:36:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When we bought and moved into our house in 2013, it was tucked away.
  468. 0:36:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript There was a lovely wooded lot and a frame house right there on the corner of Dover Road
  469. 0:36:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript where now stands Hair 2 and the coffee house as well as the restaurant.
  470. 0:36:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's a real estate company.
  471. 0:36:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was beautiful, wooded, probably 40-, 50-year-old trees there, and then a 100-year floodplain
  472. 0:37:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript basin that was also factored in to catch the rain off of Dover Road.
  473. 0:37:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When they did that construction, they had to deepen the hole because they had eliminated
  474. 0:37:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript much of the tree surrounding that helps absorb the water that would make that adequate.
  475. 0:37:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So.
  476. 0:37:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And also, we experience an awful lot of nightlight overcast onto our property from that.
  477. 0:37:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript MR.
  478. 0:37:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes, ma'am.

  531. 0:39:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to be short on this.
  532. 0:39:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Everybody knows what I said last week about it.
  533. 0:39:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We still have not got this area under control like it should be.
  534. 0:39:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'm just going to say my last comment is what the Councilman on my right said.
  535. 0:39:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It's just too much going on to try to fill something else in.
  536. 0:39:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.

  538. 0:39:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized.
  539. 0:39:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript COUNCILMEMBER STREETMAN.
  540. 0:39:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  541. 0:39:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I'll reiterate to what Mr. Tindall pointed out to us and what we all received as well,
  542. 0:39:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that currently, as of this morning, we have not received any approval from the City of
  543. 0:39:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thanks.
  544. 0:39:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, our 3 floor, if you'll excuse me, as and when we answer any questions that don't
  545. 0:39:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So, as a R1 and R3 level being as it is zoned with it as R1 and R3, you can have 8 units,
  546. 0:40:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 6 of which are Multifamily Housing.
  547. 0:40:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript When you look at the zoning map that we all have, you can see that everything along there
  548. 0:40:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on that road is R1 or R2. You don't have any multi-family housing on that stretch of road
  549. 0:40:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in front of us when you're, except for when you get to the very end of it. So by changing this to
  550. 0:40:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript R2A, then you're reducing it to five to six lots that could go there, which are going to be one
  551. 0:40:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript shared driveway. So one entry point in and out for five to six single family houses, which fits
  552. 0:40:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript more in character, which is mostly surrounded by R2. If you stay with what it currently is owned
  553. 0:40:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at, with it being R1 and R3, not only do you have more residential availability to go there,
  554. 0:40:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript more, and you have the multi-family housing that can go there, you're also looking at anywhere from
  555. 0:40:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript two to possibly three entry points of driveways, with one driveway for each of the single families
  556. 0:41:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and a shared driveway for the two triplexes. I understand,
  557. 0:41:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the concerns and not wanting to put more traffic, but the way it is currently zoned and can be
  558. 0:41:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript developed is actually potential for more than what they are requesting by bringing it more
  559. 0:41:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript into the characteristics of the neighborhood. I'll be in favor of this.
  560. 0:41:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Peters, you're recognized.
  561. 0:41:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll be not in favor of this. We can't pack people into an area because of sardines.
  562. 0:41:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Right now, and I've been, and you guys all know this, I've been asking the street department
  563. 0:41:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to do something with that.
  564. 0:41:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Traffic light right there as it is. Traffic backs up three-quarters of a mile on Ringo Road,
  565. 0:41:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Monday through Friday, mornings and afternoons. You got 101st on one end, you got Fort Campbell
  566. 0:41:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Boulevard on the other end. People use it as a cut-through. You got the school coming in and out.
  567. 0:41:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript You got Walla Walla over there. There's no markings on the intersections that say
  568. 0:41:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript straight lane, left lane, right lane. There's no turning aerials. People just back up because
  569. 0:42:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript nobody knows how to drive. They don't realize when you're in the right lane, it's a straight,
  570. 0:42:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript straight or right, so everybody waits on everybody on the left lane who's turning left.
  571. 0:42:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript On the 101st. That light right now, if you're turning off a Ringo on the 101st, takes about
  572. 0:42:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript four minutes. If you're the unlucky and unfortunate soul who wants to turn left onto Ringo Road
  573. 0:42:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript from 101st and you catch that red light, you're going to sit there through that four minutes
  574. 0:42:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of 101st. Then you're going to sit there for that minute and a half, two minutes that you
  575. 0:42:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript get on Ringo. You're sitting there for six minutes. This road cannot handle this traffic.
  576. 0:42:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Just up the road, like I said, they're building 300-unit subdivisions, single-family homes.
  577. 0:42:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The curve from that, they're building 100 townhomes. How much more do you want to put
  578. 0:42:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on this road? I dare the builder to build all these diplexes and triplexes in there.
  579. 0:42:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Let them go for it, but that just shows their greed, and that's the problem with builders.

  581. 0:42:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in their pocket. When are we going to stop? I'm a no on this, and I hope you guys will
  582. 0:42:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript support me on this. Thank you.
  583. 0:42:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized.
  584. 0:42:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to chime in. I agree with all of the current
  585. 0:43:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript concerns that the councilman from Ward 3 has. However, with the current zoning, if
  586. 0:43:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's developed, it will not come back to this council. It would just be approved at the
  587. 0:43:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript RPC, and I believe that the current zoning would be even worse. Something that I want
  588. 0:43:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to add, in addition to having the shared driveway with these five to six developments, the builder
  589. 0:43:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript has also agreed to grade that hill to increase the visibility.
  590. 0:43:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we have an opportunity to actually improve the traffic on that road with those requirements.
  591. 0:43:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I will be a yes. It's not because I'm not listening to the concerns. I understand, but
  592. 0:43:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think this is an improvement from what we're currently seeing. That's all.
  593. 0:43:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Marquis, you're recognized.
  594. 0:43:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Yes. So I also just wanted to reiterate some of the issues here with the concerns
  595. 0:43:55 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that are being mentioned and the fact of the current zone that it is. So what we have seen,
  596. 0:44:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at least when I go back and look at some of the cases, when they failed, the developers
  597. 0:44:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript billed them as is, regardless of what it does to the community. When we had an opportunity
  598. 0:44:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to lessen the load on that community. Right now, two triplexes don't fit in that neighborhood.
  599. 0:44:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript A single family, it should stay that way. And we're talking about the traffic with the
  600. 0:44:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript road. Having multiple driveways actually creates more congestion on that road, creates more
  601. 0:44:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript traffic issues on that road. I know that's a big issue. I think that's a big issue. I
  602. 0:44:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript know that corner, that blind corner, because I also drive it. I keep beehives on Ringle
  603. 0:44:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Road, so I have to drive it weekly. So I am always apprehensive when I'm turning. So I
  604. 0:44:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think that is a huge improvement to the road. Having less driveways is also a huge improvement
  605. 0:44:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript as well in that specific corner. We need to also look at some of the benefits that are
  606. 0:44:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript going to come out of this. Because again, they're going to build it as is, and they're
  607. 0:45:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the ones who are going to pack people out.
  608. 0:45:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We have an ability to lessen the amount of people that they can stick in that lot. And
  609. 0:45:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that that's what we should go for. We need to rezone this to R2A. Thank you.
  610. 0:45:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you. Any more comment or question? Councilman Smith, you're recognized.
  611. 0:45:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor. After listening to all of my fellow councilmen, I agree with some of
  612. 0:45:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript you. I know Ringle Road very well. I travel that road. I have family that live on that
  613. 0:45:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript road. Very dangerous road.
  614. 0:45:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think that the infrastructure should be fixed before we allow any building on this
  615. 0:45:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript road. You know, that's the problem we have in Clarksville now. The infrastructure does
  616. 0:45:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not match what we're getting ready to build. And I heard one councilperson say that the
  617. 0:46:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript way it is, the zoning can put more on there if we vote this down. Put more homes on the
  618. 0:46:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on there on that lot and I think they need to be changed I don't think we need
  619. 0:46:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to allow building codes to say hey it can help hold eight more homes or eight
  620. 0:46:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript homes period when the road is not fixed the infrastructure is is not matching
  621. 0:46:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript what we're trying to build on that road Ringo Road is one terrible road there is
  622. 0:46:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no sidewalks I saw children trying to walk down Ringo Road almost got hit so
  623. 0:46:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript why crowd a road that does not fit what we're trying to build on these roads we
  624. 0:46:48 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript need to think about this thank you councilman Claunch you recognized I
  625. 0:46:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think you mr. mayor I again the council member from from Ward 3 brought up a
  626. 0:46:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript great point as far as it seems a lot like we're very reactive and handling
  627. 0:47:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript things
  628. 0:47:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript also the council member from Ward 6 mentioned the same thing why we're
  629. 0:47:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript always it's always a knee-jerk reaction if if the community members or the
  630. 0:47:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript individual that owned that property was concerned about the way that it was the
  631. 0:47:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript hill would have already been cut down we wouldn't this wouldn't be well we want
  632. 0:47:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to make more money so let's let's offer City Council you know a bone or a
  633. 0:47:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript benefit it would already have been done I also
  634. 0:47:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript understand that what is there and what could be there is greater than but I
  635. 0:47:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript think that a message needs to be sent to all builders really like let's look at
  636. 0:47:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this in a proactive matter as opposed to a reactive and a knee-jerk response to
  637. 0:47:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript building and again I'm so glad that I didn't hear affordable housing because
  638. 0:48:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm sure that that is also something that is being talked about and in that area it it would be a great thing.
  639. 0:48:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not be affordable housing and the demographic that already lives there is a more uh disenfranchised
  640. 0:48:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript community than if you push for their further towards sango or that area so i will also be
  641. 0:48:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a no vote thank you councilman chandler you recognized thank you mayor yeah i i you know
  642. 0:48:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i i see where it's r3 uh but somewhere down if you look at that map there's no other uh
  643. 0:48:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no other r3 in the area so if you want my honest and truthful opinion here
  644. 0:48:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript somewhere along the way when it was changed r3 a mistake was made because it's all r1
  645. 0:48:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i want to remind everybody that we are cannot pass conditional zoning and if you'll read
  646. 0:49:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on this rpc reasoning the property in its current configuration
  647. 0:49:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript has limited site

  653. 0:49:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript distance nothing says if we do this
  654. 0:49:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript there's nothing that says they don't have
  655. 0:49:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that they've got to take down the bank
  656. 0:49:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript nothing says that they have to do one driveway
  657. 0:49:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and
  658. 0:49:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the way i'm looking at this is again
  659. 0:49:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript came past conditional zoning and i call this an được zoning
  660. 0:49:58 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript because when it fails the smell test for lack of a better

  692. 0:52:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thursday, the first number of homes that we heard was five. Then it dropped down to four,
  693. 0:53:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and today it's dropped down to three. Again, I'll go back to no such thing as conditional zoning.
  694. 0:53:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We vote. You heard RPC representatives say they can put five on it.
  695. 0:53:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm extremely familiar with this area.
  696. 0:53:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Collinwood Drive is an older, established residential area.
  697. 0:53:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The, don't forget the number of signatures that we got sent to us by email.
  698. 0:53:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I would say that was probably a good 80, 90 percent of the residents that live there
  699. 0:53:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript took the time and trouble. So many times, I think people, I might get a little harsh here,
  700. 0:54:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but I'm sorry. People drive around town and they see an empty lot. Nothing's built on it.
  701. 0:54:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, hey, lookie there. We can just stick something in the middle of this.
  702. 0:54:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript If they were coming in here and asking, and we had a guarantee that maybe two
  703. 0:54:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript houses, but we don't have that. We got a maybe five.
  704. 0:54:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The lady that spoke earlier about the trees and stuff, you know, well,
  705. 0:54:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the lady from the realtor company, well, they're going to leave the trees there. How do we know?
  706. 0:54:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Again, we can't.
  707. 0:54:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript set the limitations on what happens uh i know for a fact that on the other side of the duplex
  708. 0:54:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that piece of property there is for sale if you leave the trees there and build something up there
  709. 0:55:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that's fine now you've got a buffer to these people but i mean the lady that lives on collinwood
  710. 0:55:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript drive talking about you know light pollution and bought her house 13 years ago her and her husband
  711. 0:55:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript bought her house 13 years ago and he already had to go through one terrible thing and that was
  712. 0:55:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript putting a commercial property beside of them a beauty shop and a coffee shop and it has one way
  713. 0:55:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript in and one way out uh
  714. 0:55:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript uh
  715. 0:55:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i just never ceases to amaze me the number of times that i have sat up here and heard
  716. 0:55:51 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript men said oh well i represent so and so uh but they're not going to buy the property unless
  717. 0:55:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript y'all rezone it you know well don't i don't want to be made part of a bad plan so i'll be voting no
  718. 0:56:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript no thank you mayor councilman brown you recognized thank you mayor so i just
  719. 0:56:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript have concern about this also because you know these are all single family homes and we're going
  720. 0:56:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to put a number of homes in here that are going to look totally different than what's out there
  721. 0:56:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um talking about the trees you know yeah we need tree canopy but there's nothing to say right now
  722. 0:56:32 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that that lot could be a vacant empty lot with no trees so the trees could come down either way
  723. 0:56:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript but at least if we leave it the r1
  724. 0:56:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript they put a single house on there they'll probably leave some of them trees there
  725. 0:56:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so i'm not in favor of changing this the r2a those houses would just look totally different
  726. 0:56:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript than this established neighborhood that's there thank you councilman klontz you recognized uh
  727. 0:56:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript thank you mr mayor pretty much everything i was going to say has been said other than the fact
  728. 0:57:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that i appreciate miss ellie's commitment to that street the the neighborhood and the community
  729. 0:57:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that she has
  730. 0:57:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript again with respect to the age of the homes the residents that live there the lack of sidewalks
  731. 0:57:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript the proximity to dover road the fact of multiple housings if it was a r1 one single family home
  732. 0:57:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and nobody has an issue with that it's racking and stacking them uh you know let's let's maximize
  733. 0:57:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript every square inch of every square foot that we can and put something that the north side of
  734. 0:57:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript carsville can't afford it's a little crazy to me i will also be in favor of changing the
  735. 0:57:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript r2a though and i implore my fellow council members to be a no as well thank you mr mayor
  736. 0:57:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript councilman streetman you're recognized thank you mayor the statement regarding the clarification
  737. 0:57:49 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the trees was already made um by the council member for ward nine couple of things i do just
  738. 0:57:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript want everybody to think about here and understand where everyone's coming from on it but we are
  739. 0:58:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript talking about a lot here that is just shy of the ability of having two homes we often sit up here
  740. 0:58:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and talk about the need for affordable housing
  741. 0:58:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript greatest expenses that you run into when you're looking at affordable housing is the land that's
  742. 0:58:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript involved with that since you could only put one house on here and leaving it as r1 that makes
  743. 0:58:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this in no way any type of affordable housing to be able to go there it's going to be expensive
  744. 0:58:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript for anybody that wants to live there and buy that home so you're probably looking at a rather large
  745. 0:58:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript size house that would have to go there to offset that expense with the land um also another thing
  746. 0:58:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to point out too i'm not sure i know it was stated that last week it was said that five could go there
  747. 0:58:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i did just clarify myself or verify myself with mr tendell at the rpc it he said the acreage is
  748. 0:58:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript not there for five houses to go there with the rezoning so it was never considered to be five
  749. 0:58:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript three to four houses is about the best you'd be able to have there with the acreage that's
  750. 0:59:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript available and even the four would be difficult so i did just want to clarify that for everyone
  751. 0:59:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it hasn't gone from
  752. 0:59:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript five to four to three in the span of a week that it started with four with three the more likely
  753. 0:59:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript number councilman holloman you recognized thank you mayor so i mean i can i can say with a quite
  754. 0:59:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript a bit of confidence i feel like there's a large portion of clarksville that's just tired of all
  755. 0:59:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this development you know they're tired of developers salivating at the mouth and they
  756. 0:59:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript see an empty lot or uh or a bunch of trees in a wooded area oh that'd look really good if we just
  757. 0:59:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript demolished all those trees you know and build build apartments or whatever makes the most money
  758. 0:59:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript i think i think residents of clarksville are are tired of it and and frankly i'm tired of it too
  759. 0:59:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript um but uh it is it is y'all's neighborhood you should have a right to say um and and not not
  760. 0:59:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript necessarily dictate but your input for your neighborhood is important because y'all are

  829. 1:07:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And we'll let the amendment make its way around and then I'll come to you for a motion on

  841. 1:07:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This, as I just said, this amendment just gives a committee, should it be formed, the
  842. 1:07:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript flexibility that they need to come up with a plan that works for both the city and the
  843. 1:07:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript county.
  844. 1:07:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That serves both the city and the county.

  854. 1:08:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  855. 1:08:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Motion been made and properly seconded to postpone.
  856. 1:08:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The amendment?
  857. 1:08:21 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The amendment?
  858. 1:08:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No.
  859. 1:08:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, we have the amendment before us first in the resolution.
  860. 1:08:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Okay.
  861. 1:08:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I withdraw my motion then.
  862. 1:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  863. 1:08:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any objection to that?
  864. 1:08:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  865. 1:08:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Anything else on the amendment, Councilman Chandler?
  866. 1:08:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript No, sir.
  867. 1:08:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All right.
  868. 1:08:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Streetman, you're recognized on the amendment.
  869. 1:08:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'll speak on the amendment and kind of everything as a whole together here.
  870. 1:08:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm still a no vote, and I know that there's going to be a motion and a second.
  871. 1:08:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not for it now.
  872. 1:08:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm not for it later.
  873. 1:08:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that there are things that need to be looked at in regard to this with the half
  874. 1:08:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript percent that we're talking about and the money that's being talked about here.
  875. 1:09:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But what we're talking about is very likely that we would get sued from the county over
  876. 1:09:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it.
  877. 1:09:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We haven't yet fully determined that it's legal, as has been pointed out from the council
  878. 1:09:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript member from ward 12.
  879. 1:09:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But even looking at it as a whole, I'm not for it.
  880. 1:09:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript As the county suing us, I am a resident of the city.
  881. 1:09:20 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm a resident of the county, which means you can't divide me in two.
  882. 1:09:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think this that we are bringing here is a very divisive item between the two local
  883. 1:09:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript governments.
  884. 1:09:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And if there is a lawsuit that's brought forward, being a resident of both, either way, we as
  885. 1:09:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript residents of Clarksville, we're going to be paying the legal fees.
  886. 1:09:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I know that Mr. Tim Harvey's here tonight.
  887. 1:09:45 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript My assumption is he's probably here because of this.
  888. 1:09:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm going to go ahead and talk to the mayor about this and talk to the county commissioners
  889. 1:09:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript about this.
  890. 1:09:57 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I've talked to the mayor Golden as well about it.
  891. 1:10:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think it would have been beneficial for every one of us to reach out and talk to the
  892. 1:10:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript county commissioners and the mayor about this and get their thoughts on it.
  893. 1:10:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But I'm still of the belief, as I was a couple of months ago, that I think the way this process
  894. 1:10:14 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript needs to go about is that we allow the two major counties to come together and talk about
  895. 1:10:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I think it would be a great opportunity for the two mayors to sit down and look at
  896. 1:10:18 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this and see how this could best work out if we did need to try and move this money
  897. 1:10:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript back over to the city instead of going to the school system through by way of the county
  898. 1:10:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript of the sales tax.
  899. 1:10:30 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And what was mentioned a month ago was creating a committee of county commissioners and city
  900. 1:10:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript council members to be able to look at this and see what's best.
  901. 1:10:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But that's not what we have before us here tonight.
  902. 1:10:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I personally, as I stated, I think it needs to start from the two mayors sitting down
  903. 1:10:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript together.
  904. 1:10:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And seeing what they can work out.
  905. 1:10:47 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I would not be opposed if they so choose to create a committee that did involve our
  906. 1:10:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript county commissioners and our city council members that could look at more things than
  907. 1:10:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript just what we're talking about here, but look at it holistically and try to see the whole
  908. 1:11:01 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript board and how that it could best serve the residents of Clarksville-Montgomery County
  909. 1:11:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with a better cost-effective manner of us working together to accomplish something.
  910. 1:11:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I think it's more important for us to work together with our other local government officials,
  911. 1:11:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript than it is to bring forward and do something that's going to be a decisive way about doing this.
  912. 1:11:22 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So for me, I'm a no on postponing because I'm going to be a no on it overall.
  913. 1:11:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I think there's better ways to go about doing this than going through this route.
  914. 1:11:33 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Shekinah, you're recognized on the amendment.
  915. 1:11:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  916. 1:11:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'd like to call for the question on the amendment.
  917. 1:11:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The question has been called on the amendment, which would cease discussion.
  918. 1:11:42 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any objection to ceasing discussion on the amendment?
  919. 1:11:46 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Hearing none, we will now vote on the Zacharias amendment to his resolution.
  920. 1:11:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we're voting on the amendment to the resolution.
  921. 1:11:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript All members, please cast your vote.
  922. 1:11:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Every member voted.
  923. 1:12:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Any member wish to change their vote?
  924. 1:12:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Madam Clerk, please take the vote.
  925. 1:12:03 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript 2 yes, 11 no, 0 abstain.
  926. 1:12:06 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The amendment fails.
  927. 1:12:07 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We're now back on the resolution as proposed.
  928. 1:12:12 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Lovato, you're recognized on the resolution.
  929. 1:12:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The resolution is proposed.
  930. 1:12:16 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  931. 1:12:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I just want to repeat something that I have said multiple, multiple times this year.
  932. 1:12:23 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This agreement started at the ballot, and if we're going to change the agreement, that's where it needs to be changed.
  933. 1:12:29 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript This needs to go in front of the voters to make this decision.
  934. 1:12:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It was on the referendum.
  935. 1:12:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript That is what they voted on.
  936. 1:12:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Looking at articles from 1977, when this was presented to the voters,
  937. 1:12:43 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it was presented to them as to be a permanent fixture of funding for the school system.
  938. 1:12:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So we don't need a committee.
  939. 1:12:52 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I will be voting no on this.
  940. 1:12:53 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It does not need to be decided by a handful of people.
  941. 1:12:56 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript It needs to be decided by the voters, and I will stick to that.
  942. 1:12:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  943. 1:13:00 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Brown, you're recognized.
  944. 1:13:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.
  945. 1:13:02 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So I'm going to be in opposition to this also because in the ordinance itself,
  946. 1:13:08 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it's automatically saying that we're going to withdraw from the prior local ops and sales tax.
  947. 1:13:13 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then establish a committee to look at it.
  948. 1:13:17 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Well, if it was just establishing a joint committee to look at it, I'd probably be okay with it.
  949. 1:13:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript But automatically it's saying we're withdrawing from it, period.
  950. 1:13:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And then set a committee together to figure out what we do from there.
  951. 1:13:34 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript So the way it's written is automatically withdrawing from it.
  952. 1:13:38 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to be against it.
  953. 1:13:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you.
  954. 1:13:40 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Councilman Chandler, you're recognized.
  955. 1:13:41 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript Thank you, Mayor.

  1169. 1:24:35 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript We approve their budgets, but we don't tell them what they can spend it on,
  1170. 1:24:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript and there is a cost associated with doing work that's not budgeted for. Like I said, it's not
  1171. 1:24:44 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript an issue with the information, but I'm a political science guy, and this is not the role of a city
  1172. 1:24:50 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript council. It's the role of the mayor's office. Thank you. Councilman Streetman, you're recognized
  1173. 1:24:54 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript on the resolutions. Thank you. I'm going to respond directly to that. I reached out and
  1174. 1:24:59 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript talked to every single one of these directors, and they were all supportive of this and appreciated
  1175. 1:25:04 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript it.
  1176. 1:25:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I'm going to respond directly to that. I reached out and talked to every single one of these
  1177. 1:25:05 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript said that this was being requested of them. It's an internal thing that they're doing
  1178. 1:25:11 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript themselves, so it's not as though they're bringing someone else in to be able to look
  1179. 1:25:15 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript at this. This is something they do regularly and are going to be able to quickly produce
  1180. 1:25:19 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this information for us, but I think if they feel it's important to be able to present
  1181. 1:25:25 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript this to us, I don't see why we can't also support it. I think this was three great ideas
  1182. 1:25:31 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript that was brought forward by the sponsor.

  1326. 1:35:24 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript And I...
  1327. 1:35:27 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript I spent a lot of time trying to walk delicately

  1345. 1:36:26 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript The reason that this is happening
  1346. 1:36:28 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript is because our sales tax growth

  1349. 1:36:36 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript which is the school system,
  1350. 1:36:37 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript with sales tax funds
  1351. 1:36:39 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so they can use the property tax that we're paying

  1363. 1:37:09 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript to the schools every year
  1364. 1:37:10 in the video (opens in a new tab) Transcript so they can use the property tax money they're collecting
