you know growing up in an ethnic family

480
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,120
um you know we were always taught those

481
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:30,120
core values that are so important in

482
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:32,440
every community and one of the things we

483
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,360
always learned about in school and

484
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,679
subsequent study was you know the

485
00:23:36,679 --> 00:23:40,520
Democratic Heritage of Poland uh Poland

486
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,760
was formed as an elective monarchy where

487
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,840
uh as opposed to other places where a

488
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,360
very small percentage of people were

489
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,679
represented in the sort of the hierarchy

490
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:54,520
or the royalty and so on uh a good

491
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,000
25% of Polish Society voted for their

492
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,159
kings and and so on and so forth and uh

493
00:24:01,159 --> 00:24:03,840
the the idea of the liberum veto where a

494
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,400
member of the assembled um uh group of

495
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,520
people who would vote uh could veto any

496
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,960
item that was up for consideration with

497
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,960
a single word you know saying veto and

498
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,760
that that sort of democratic tradition

499
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,440
and Heritage is something that was so

500
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,600
important because it was very unique in

501
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,120
the European landscape um you know at

502
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:31,520
the uh late um 1700s the Polish

503
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:37,200
Constitution was right up there with the United States Constitution and

504
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,840
the um the constitution in in France

505
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,679
post Revolution uh so those kind of

506
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:48,399
markers really spoke broadly to people's

507
00:24:48,399 --> 00:24:50,760
desire for freedom for democracy for

508
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,120

fortunately uh she was so generous she

642

gave her heart away to a man that would

643
00:30:57,679 --> 00:31:01,000
abuse use it that was my

644
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,559
father as time went on she began to see

645
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:06,519
the abusive patterns of this man and how

646
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:08,880
he was a threat not only to

647
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,279
herself but to her family my father was

648
00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:14,919
an enraged individual unable to process

649
00:31:14,919 --> 00:31:18,159
emotion addicted to drugs unable to

650
00:31:18,159 --> 00:31:21,320
accept rejection or the word no the last

651
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,679
type of person you want your daughter to

652
00:31:22,679 --> 00:31:25,440
be with now my mother tried to see the

653
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,760
good in people often times when we are

654
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,159
in and love and give our hearts away we

655
00:31:30,159 --> 00:31:33,639
make promises that would uh love them

656
00:31:33,639 --> 00:31:34,880
unconditionally through their

657
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,200
shortcomings through thick and thin we

658
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,760
hope that they would change however

659
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,880
unfortunately my father did not change

660
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,399
um July 27th

661
00:31:45,399 --> 00:31:48,799
1992 my mother was horrifically taken um

662
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:50,559
in the presence of her nieces her

663
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:53,399
nephews and all the children all her

664
00:31:53,399 --> 00:31:55,639
children while protecting an infant in

665
00:31:55,639 --> 00:31:56,320
her

666
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,320
arms my mother though she lost her life

667
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,240
she was

668
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,120
courageous this story is heavy and it

669
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,360
has baggage however I'm here to share

670
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,760
this story to not only share the damage

671
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,440
that it can cause or the hardship on an

672
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,240
individual a family or Community but to

673
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,679
ultimately

674
00:32:16,679 --> 00:32:19,080
point to ultimately be a point of

675
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,919
reference to individuals or families in

676
00:32:20,919 --> 00:32:23,960
the area who are and have suffered by

677
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,159
these traumatic crimes I'm sharing

678
00:32:26,159 --> 00:32:27,480
because there is hope despite the

679
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,440
circumstance

680
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,159
ances I would be lying to tell you that

681
00:32:31,159 --> 00:32:33,600
it was easy picking up the pieces it

682
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,519
took courage to finish school it took

683
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:37,880
courage for my sister to go to college

684
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,559
it took courage for my grandmother to

685
00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:41,880
raise her deceased daughter's children

686
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,279
while working through that loss I would

687
00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:45,720
also be lying to tell you that I'm

688
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,000
completely free from what I witnessed I

689
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,880
would be lying to tell you that all I

690
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,159
need was coping grieving closure therapy

691
00:32:53,159 --> 00:32:54,880
although all those things are necessary

692
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,919
I needed something deeper I was broken

693
00:32:56,919 --> 00:32:59,639
at the soul I remember when I was broken

694
00:32:59,639 --> 00:33:02,120
at my lowest moment high on drugs I

695
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,639
cried out to the Lord and he heard my

696
00:33:03,639 --> 00:33:06,039
cry the next day I was invited to play

697
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:07,720
basketball at to church over in

698
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,840

00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,880
the truth of the relationship with Jesus

700
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,039
Christ and a promise for my life

701
00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:18,799
Jeremiah 29:11 says for I know the plans

702
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:21,559
I have for you says the Lord plans to

703
00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:24,200
prosper you and not to harm plans to

704
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,000
give you hope in a future although my

705
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,159
doubts and disbelief I chose that day to

706
00:33:29,159 --> 00:33:31,240
trust and seek Him turning away from my

707
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,799
toxic behaviors praying although I

708
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:35,960

00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,560
any victim of domestic violence to be

749
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,680
forgotten because it's like they're

750
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,839
murdered and they're just tossed away

751
00:35:45,839 --> 00:35:46,920
like

752
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:53,800
garbage but with things like this as a

753
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,599
remembrance it just warms all of our

754
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:59,760
hearts and we thank all of you

755
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,680

756
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,839
nurse just like

757
00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:07,560
me

758
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,599
and when she was going to school her

759
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:14,119
abuser said he didn't want her to be a

760
00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:16,839
nurse cuz she'd have to bathe

761
00:36:16,839 --> 00:36:19,560
men there is

762
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,240
nothing provocative about bathing a sick

763
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:27,040
person it's all about making them well

764
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,880
making them whole Melissa had the heart

765
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,880
for

766
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,000
it at her funeral there were so many

767
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,960
people people I didn't know coming up to

768
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,800
me telling me what a wonderful daughter

769
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,800
I

770
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,240
had and I'm proud of Melissa's

771
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:48,960
children all three of them

772
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,000

773
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,920

774
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,680

776
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,680
that I just want to thank

777
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,680
everyone and to

778
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,119
keep if people would only raise their

779
00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:21,359
daughters to be strong and not feel as

780
00:37:21,359 --> 00:37:25,319
if they have to take any malchy like

781
00:37:25,319 --> 00:37:29,119
that and for their sons to be

782
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:32,319
compassionate and and not be

783
00:37:32,319 --> 00:37:34,960
bullies and we're seeing it as Arthur

784
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,800
had mentioned and shootings gun violence

785
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:44,800
families fighting each other it's just

786
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,520
horrific and I pray to God that we see

787
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,480
an end to this which I don't see

788
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,280
happening because you can enact that's

789
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,880
right you can enact laws but can't

790
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,200
change people's

791
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,560

minutes all right thank you good evening

835
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,800
everyone I'm Johan I'm a city resident

836
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,400
and I'm here speaking on behalf of the

837
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,440
Carver family Resource Center a group of

838
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,920
10 homegrown service providers already

839
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,960
providing services to hundreds maybe

840
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,720
thousands of Hamilton Hill residents for

841
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,760
over seven years the community has not

842
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,680
given up on an effort to reestablish a

843
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,000
community center in Hamilton Hill we've

844
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,160
evolved our approach previously Mar Clan

845
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,040
Craig another group of community

846
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,440
residents got over 600 uh signatures and

847
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,800
petitions to make sure this thing kept

848
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,520
going and they never gave up even even

849
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,280
though they face challenges they return

850
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,160
to building and they still support the

851
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,800
effort now I work with a group of 10

852
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,079
plus service providers all homegrown all

853
00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:09,359
skincity based who want to continue this

854
00:41:09,359 --> 00:41:11,359
so we've had the residents now we've had

855
00:41:11,359 --> 00:41:12,440
service

856
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,319
providers and they realize they can't

857
00:41:15,319 --> 00:41:16,880
access real estate in their own

858
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,680
Community to provide these essential

859
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,000
services to Residents who would frankly

860
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,400
rather be served by them people who care

861
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,200
about them who grew up in this community

862
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,480
so that's a big problem The Proposal

863
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,280
budget doesn't account for Carver while

864
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,960
there are unique pressures facing the

865
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,160
city I completely understand that I

866
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,280
don't believe that problem justifies

867
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,400
overlooking this one the city has made a

868
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,839
lot of economic investment into Hamilton

869
00:41:41,839 --> 00:41:44,000
Hill with the Craig man connection over

870
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,520
the last couple years and so this is an

871
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,319
investment to the social infrastructure

872
00:41:49,319 --> 00:41:51,079
not just sidewalks and parks and things

873
00:41:51,079 --> 00:41:53,079
like that beautiful things but it won't

874
00:41:53,079 --> 00:41:55,920
change anything unless we have a space

875
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,480
where our community can come together to

876
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,400
heal grow evolve they're going to

877
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,680
continue to be unattended children

878
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,319
shootings murders taking away the

879
00:42:05,319 --> 00:42:08,240
potential of our next Generation so I

880
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:09,800
think that's what the opportunity to

881
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,359
support the Carver Family Resource

882
00:42:11,359 --> 00:42:14,599
Center represents and so my question to

883
00:42:14,599 --> 00:42:17,040
you is have you given up on this and

884
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,559
I've asked some of you in person but I

885
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:21,640
want to ask all of you together the

886
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,599
mayor council members have you given up

887
00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:26,839
on the Carver Family Resource Center

888
00:42:26,839 --> 00:42:28,599
because it's not accounted for in the

889
00:42:28,599 --> 00:42:32,119
budget okay and if you have not given up

890
00:42:32,119 --> 00:42:35,119
on this what would you do to communicate

891
00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:37,440
your resolve to the children of Hamilton

892
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,000
Hill andjon communities who need these

893
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,839
Services again police won't do it not

894
00:42:42,839 --> 00:42:46,079
even the schools only Community can hold

895
00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:49,359
our families together so I ask you have

896
00:42:49,359 --> 00:42:52,400
you given up and if not what can you do

897
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,839
to demonstrate your resolve with the

898
00:42:54,839 --> 00:43:03,030
budget thank you thank

899
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:14,030
you uh Fabo Matt

900
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,559
lock good evening everyone it's been a

901
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:18,040
while since I've been here to see you

902
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,720
all it's good to see you I'm here um

903
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:23,680
supporting the Carver initiative as well

904
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,920
I stand as the president of the board of

905
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,640
directors for the Hamilton hill art

906
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,000
center and we have upon

907
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,079
occasion um in numerous

908
00:43:34,079 --> 00:43:37,559
instances found ourself in similar

909
00:43:37,559 --> 00:43:41,280
situations as this as we push forward to

910
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,079
make sure that the members of our

911
00:43:43,079 --> 00:43:45,760
community are not left

912
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:50,599
behind quite frankly and it

913
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:54,520
is if I'm going to be at all truthful

914
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,680
very frustrating to stand here once

915
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:57,800
again

916
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:03,520
asking that uh Carver not be left behind

917
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,040
and um overlooked in the allocation of

918
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,359
resources in terms of the budget um in an area that

919
00:44:12,359 --> 00:44:17,800
desperately needs the funds okay so I

920
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,280
know

921
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,480
that there has been a lot of support for

922
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,319
us here recently but I want to look at

923
00:44:26,319 --> 00:44:27,920
historically

924
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,000
where we have been put in this whole

925
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,960
length of um the the Hamilton Hill

926
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,800
Community I should say that in the

927
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,680
entire history of from what I have um

928
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,319
actually been exposed to for

929
00:44:44,319 --> 00:44:47,000
instance for the past 50 years the

930
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,440
Hamilton hill art center has served the

931
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,760
community and has done so on a Sho

932
00:44:53,760 --> 00:45:02,400
string budget um that has actually recently been looked

933
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,480
at and provided with the resources that

934
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,960
we can move forward in pulling along the

935
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,240
other members of our community and

936
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:12,200
sometimes that has been a frustration to

937
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,000
others who have not looked at the monies

938
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,319
that we've received in the context of

939
00:45:17,319 --> 00:45:19,280
how many years we have actually served

940
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,640
the community Carver once again is in

941
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,359
the same situation and here we are

942
00:45:25,359 --> 00:45:28,559
before you I feel like begging for you

943
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,599
to acknowledge what it is that we need

944
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:34,119
in the community to serve our own people

945
00:45:34,119 --> 00:45:36,520
and I'm asking you to do so we just

946
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,680
prayed here to open our hearts and so I

947
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,119
stand before you as not only someone who

948
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:46,960
serves the community

949
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,200
tirelessly okay without being paid but

950
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,040
as a priest myself before God who has to

951
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,559
open my heart on a regular basis to ask

952
00:45:57,559 --> 00:45:59,960
you to open yours and make sure that

953
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:02,200
their's money allocated for Carver thank

954
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,150
you thank

955
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:14,069
you Rachel

956
00:46:14,079 --> 00:46:16,880
Khan hello I'm Rachel Khan thank you for

957
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,319
letting me speak today I'm here both as

958
00:46:19,319 --> 00:46:22,200
a representative of um the Carver Family

959
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,800
Resource Center and as uh the director

960
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,800
of the Hamilton hill art center one of

961
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,839
the the programs that will be offering

962
00:46:28,839 --> 00:46:31,800
Services there um I think what we've

963
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,119
presented is very important because as

964
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:36,520
we make improvements in Hamilton Hill

965
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:37,960
it's important that the community

966
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,079
understands that these improvements are

967
00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:41,400
for them and that they have some control

968
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,680
over what those look like um the plan

969
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,000
that we have proposed allows the

970
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,400
residents to take ownership over their

971
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,200
Community Center and I think that's an

972
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,760
important um distinguishment between the

973
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,440
other plans and I think one that we need

974
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:02,230
to consider thank you thank

975
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:04,280
you Pastor

976
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,589
Nicole John

977
00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:12,200
Simone good evening again um president

978
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,760
Porta I just want to make clear I I

979
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,280
should have signed up twice I think for

980
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,040
this and I also had something else to

981
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,520
say at the end that does not relate to

982
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,000
that you can be on both okay I just

983
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,079
wanted to make sure I could come back up

984
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:25,760
um okay so I'm now putting on my pastor

985
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:29,200
Nikki hat right um because uh now having

986
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,119
been in this community for 6 years I do

987
00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:34,079
have members of my church that remember

988
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:35,839
the Carver Center probably like in it's

989
00:47:35,839 --> 00:47:38,079
Heyday right and they talk about the

990
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:42,119
good times that they had there and the things that they learned there and

991
00:47:42,119 --> 00:47:44,400
um I'm reading a book right now it's

992
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,160
called how to kill a city by Peter M

993
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:53,680
MTZ um and in the book it talks about um

994
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,400
how most Urban or uh black and brown

995
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,680
communities in the United States had

996
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,160
this moment of

997
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,880
disinvestment where uh money came out of

998
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,720
the community um whether that was from

999
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,680
white flight industry being taken away

1000
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:11,680
I've been trying to kind of put my

1001
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,800
finger on like when that moment was in

1002
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,119
connec people have like different

1003
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:16,800
stories but a lot of people say it was

1004
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,960
GE you know like people say you know

1005
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,800
that was the moment that money kind of

1006
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,640
left the community and people left right

1007
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,599
and you can walk around the Hamilton

1008
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:28,760
Hill um section of of the city and you

1009
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,480
see blighted properties and things like

1010
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,599
that you see the carveron are boarded up

1011
00:48:32,599 --> 00:48:34,319
and you know that something used to

1012
00:48:34,319 --> 00:48:39,119
happen here right so um I think the time

1013
00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:41,839
has come though for a reinvestment in

1014
00:48:41,839 --> 00:48:44,839
our neighborhood and I that's what you

1015
00:48:44,839 --> 00:48:48,000
know my church and the NAACP were trying

1016
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,480
to do that's what the Hamilton hill art

1017
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:54,040
center is doing um so you know when I

1018
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,520
received um an email today saying that

1019
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,640
uh funding might not be going to uh any

1020
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,440
funding going to the Carver Center um I

1021
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,480
was concerned because what I'm

1022
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,240
realizing with the work that I'm trying

1023
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:12,160
to do um and that my my church and NAACP

1024
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,280
has been doing in his community for

1025
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,960
decades is that if we have the

1026
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,559
partnership of the city we can go to the

1027
00:49:20,559 --> 00:49:23,799
county we can go to the state we can go

1028
00:49:23,799 --> 00:49:25,559
to other people and say the city is

1029
00:49:25,559 --> 00:49:27,160
supporting us and their partner in with

1030
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,000
us but when you pull out then others

1031
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,680
pull out I hope you understand what I'm

1032
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,920
saying so it's like we it's like we

1033
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,319
need the council the mayor we need

1034
00:49:39,319 --> 00:49:42,119
everybody to partner with us and to come

1035
00:49:42,119 --> 00:49:44,680
and stand in solidarity with us for that

1036
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,040
reinvestment to happen in our

1037
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,200
communities um so I think that you know

1038
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,640
the time has come you know for a

1039
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,760
reinvestment in the Hamilton Hill

1040
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,720
section of town um

1041
00:49:57,720 --> 00:50:00,559
and I can see the work that has been

1042
00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:03,319
done um somebody showed me not too long

1043
00:50:03,319 --> 00:50:04,960
ago old pictures of

1044
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,280
downtown I never I wasn't here and

1045
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:08,960
connected him when downtown was looking

1046
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,160
like that but you can see evidence of

1047
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,040
the reinvestment in that section of town

1048
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,160
so I think that the the residents and uh

1049
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,520
that I serve as Pastor they want to see

1050
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,599
that same reinvestment in their section

1051
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:24,319
of town so I hope what I'm saying makes

1052
00:50:24,319 --> 00:50:27,520
sense um if you have time read the book

1053
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,880
it's very good but I'm here in support

1054
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,079
of the Carver Center to say let's come

1055
00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:35,829
together and figure out how to do

1056
00:50:35,839 --> 00:50:38,119

1133
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,240
good evening Mr Mayor city council I

1134
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:10,640
apologize for my voice I don't have one

1135
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,720
anymore before we even started the 2025

1136
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:16,799
budget process uh this budget was a

1137
00:54:16,799 --> 00:54:19,680
failure not only because it has tax

1138
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,280
increased because this Council failed in

1139
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,079
their fiduciary responsibility to the

1140
00:54:24,079 --> 00:54:27,079
city of connec before this budget

1141
00:54:27,079 --> 00:54:29,720
proposal was even penned this Council

1142
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:32,599
squandered much of the $52 million in

1143
00:54:32,599 --> 00:54:34,000
American

1144
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,400
Rescue uh plan act funds let me repeat

1145
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,000
that much of $ 52

1146
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:47,839
million of American Rescue plan funds that could have went for projects

1147
00:54:47,839 --> 00:54:50,520
that would have lessened our tax

1148
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,720
liabilities but no uh Porterfield and

1149
00:54:53,720 --> 00:54:56,760
progressives in many cases diverted f to

1150
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,200
their friends and

1151
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,559
supporters but the failure of this

1152
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:06,640
Council had no bounds even when deficit

1153
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,839
warnings were being forecasted for the

1154
00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:11,440
2025

1155
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,359
budget you voted for raises for

1156
00:55:14,359 --> 00:55:16,640
yourselves you voted raises for

1157
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,880
yourselves in a budget that you failed

1158
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,960
to approve by its

1159
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,400
deadline but even

1160
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,359
then handing out raises went on and on

1161
00:55:27,359 --> 00:55:29,520
in City Hall to even the most highly

1162
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:30,319
paid

1163
00:55:30,319 --> 00:55:34,599
employees again with a budget coming

1164
00:55:34,599 --> 00:55:37,880
budget being forecasted with deficits

1165
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,520
now we are hearing the city council is

1166
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,760
considering even more raises when our

1167
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,599
federal citizens will be seeing a tax

1168
00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:48,200
height the failures of this budget have

1169
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,880
yet to be realized but we already know

1170
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,000
that American Rescue plan act funds are

1171
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,440
being proposed to cut financial

1172
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,400
shortfalls and this budget proposal and

1173
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,880
fund reserves are being drained which

1174
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,880
will return next year as bu budget

1175
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,839
deficits and future property tax

1176
00:56:06,839 --> 00:56:10,280
increases which have

1177
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:14,079
been reported as high as $7 to9 million

1178
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:17,510
for next

1179
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,559
year this Council are also playing their

1180
00:56:21,559 --> 00:56:24,119
part in raising taxes as they raise fees

1181
00:56:24,119 --> 00:56:27,079
for a wide array of mun will find some

1182
00:56:27,079 --> 00:56:29,240
of which we're talking about tonight and

1183
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:32,880
more to come as we've been told which in

1184
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,880
is itself is ironic as only a year

1185
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:41,079
ago uh only just a year ago uh the same

1186
00:56:41,079 --> 00:56:45,440
Council was referring to garbage fees as

1187
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,559
raising

1188
00:56:47,559 --> 00:56:50,000
taxes so no matter how you look at where

1189
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,920
we find ourselves today failures have

1190
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,480
been and will be the driving factors in

1191
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:56,799
this year's budget

1192
00:56:56,799 --> 00:57:01,920
in Beyond as we Face further tax

1193
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,359
increases just want to just mention

talking about the importance of the oh

1226
00:58:29,599 --> 00:58:33,559
sorry the SK Community Carver Community

1227
00:58:33,559 --> 00:58:35,400
Center you

1228
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,200
know it wasn't too long ago or I think

1229
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,280
it was last couple weeks I think Miss

1230
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,079
ffield said something about that that

1231
00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:48,839
they didn't have one they didn't have a community center in that area of the

1232
00:58:48,839 --> 00:58:51,640
Town um with the loss of the community

1233
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:55,599
center which is true but as I looked at

1234
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:58,039
this town been here for a few years and

1235
00:58:58,039 --> 00:59:01,839
there's no Community Center in bellw

1236
00:59:01,839 --> 00:59:04,680
there's none one in woodon there isn't

1237
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,039
one in Goose Hill in fact there isn't

1238
00:59:07,039 --> 00:59:11,119
anyone anywhere else in the city so I

1239
00:59:11,119 --> 00:59:14,000
would say that I would ask the mayor in

1240
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,480
the city council is to look at how best

1241
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,760
are we going to serve all the youth

1242
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:21,319
because we are having

1243
00:59:21,319 --> 00:59:24,280
shootings in all kinds of issues all

1244
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,160
over our city with youth

1245
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,799
vandalism all types of things so we've

1246
00:59:29,799 --> 00:59:32,240
got to find a way in which we can engage

1247
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,119
all our children all our youth not just

1248
00:59:35,119 --> 00:59:38,039
one part of a town not one part of a

1249
00:59:38,039 --> 00:59:40,880
community but all Community because I'm

1250
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,440
just as interested I can come from

1251
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,200
woodlon about the woodlon kids and

1252
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,559
there's people here with bellw kids and

1253
00:59:47,559 --> 00:59:50,240
every other where in the city so I think

1254
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,880
at this point now we don't have a

1255
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,480
community center anywhere in the city so

1256
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:56,880
I think it's time time that we start

1257
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,119
looking at how we're going to address

1258
00:59:59,119 --> 01:00:03,039
the Youth of our future thank you very

1259
01:00:03,039 --> 01:00:04,880

1260
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:12,470

1266
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,520

1267
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,520
it's going to be the grand opening of

1268
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,839
Heritage Corner which is a pocket park

1269
01:00:39,839 --> 01:00:43,000
that we're opening um so one of the

1270
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,160
goals for the uh church for our

1271
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,400
nonprofit is to use every property that

1272
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:54,640
we own to serve the city so uh if you

1273
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,760
know a little history about D dor

1274
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,880
Memorial was started by Isaac

1275
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:04,039
Dorie 187 years ago he was a Dutch of

1276
01:01:04,039 --> 01:01:07,200
Dutch ancestry a student at um Union

1277
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:08,839
College and a member of the Reformed

1278
01:01:08,839 --> 01:01:12,640
Church uh down in Stockade and he used

1279
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,839
his ability to buy property at that time

1280
01:01:15,839 --> 01:01:18,480
um to make sure that black residents had

1281
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,839
a space to worship and have church right

1282
01:01:21,839 --> 01:01:22,920
so

1283
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,960
he uh got the he never served as the

1284
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,000
Pastor he just knew that he had the

1285
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,079
ability and the black residents did it

1286
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:34,039
to get the property and so he did and so

1376
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,839
definitely had some misinformation that

1377
01:06:16,839 --> 01:06:19,119
I believe was provided to him by someone

1378
01:06:19,119 --> 01:06:24,279

1379
01:06:24,279 --> 01:06:27,039
at least Miss Porterfield and s had uh

1380
01:06:27,039 --> 01:06:28,799
said that we wanted to take resources

1381
01:06:28,799 --> 01:06:32,920
away from Hillcrest Park um in bellw and

1382
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,279
uh we wanted to definitely both of us

1383
01:06:35,279 --> 01:06:40,799
reached back out to him to indicate that was uh not true not not information

1384
01:06:40,799 --> 01:06:43,920
that uh he he somehow had had been given

1385
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,319

1487
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,920

Department uh State Police there other

1489

resources that being brought in and I

1490
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,840
anticipate that that will conclude in

1491
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,040
those individuals being held accountable

1492
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,760

1494
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,280
not only on that case but other cases

1495
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:43,480

1496
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:45,639

1497
01:11:45,639 --> 01:11:48,719

creates real value in the community it

1505
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,800
displaces those individuals who choose

1506
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,320
to make poor decisions the negative

1507
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,199

1508
01:12:15,199 --> 01:12:16,760
continue the investment and the

1509
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,199

there's been conversation to today about

1553
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:58,159
the arpa allocation I want to make a

1554
01:13:58,159 --> 01:14:00,120
couple of points of clarification first

1555
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,560
and foremost if people want to see where

1556
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,239
the allocations went they can see as

1557
01:14:05,239 --> 01:14:07,480
opposed to a speaker saying tonight that

1558
01:14:07,480 --> 01:14:09,560
I he called my name that I and my

1559
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,080
friends got it I don't have that many

1560
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,360
friends that for how this moneu was

1561
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:14,920
allocated so let's really take a look

1562
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,840
what really happened here and not just

1563
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,719
speak about things that we thought

1564
01:14:19,719 --> 01:14:21,239
happened somebody told us without doing

1565
01:14:21,239 --> 01:14:23,800
the investigation so I invite people to

1566
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:25,840
take a look at how we did AR arer

1567
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,199
allocations it was an open process

1568
01:14:28,199 --> 01:14:30,400
documents were provided so you know

1569
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:31,800
people have a chance to take a look at

1570
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,000
that and as Miss Patrick has said there

1571
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,320
was an email uh saying that we had had a

1572
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:37,760
conversation about reallocating

1573
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,159
something at a at one of the meetings

1574
01:14:40,159 --> 01:14:42,560
that was misinformation uh the person

1575
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:43,920
who sent the email I don't believe

1576
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,600
actually personally watched the meeting

1577
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,760
but was given information by someone

1578
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:49,960
else so I invite everyone if you have a

1579
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:51,560
question regarding what's going on with

1580
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:53,560
the council you can contact the council

1581
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,440
members all of our information is on the

1582
01:14:55,440 --> 01:14:57,600
city website you can call us you can

1583
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,480
send us an email the same way you send

1584
01:14:59,480 --> 01:15:01,800
an email to say you did this you can

1585
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,560
send an email said what happened so we

1586
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,080
just want you know we want there to be

1587
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,560
Clarity between the council the mayor

1588
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:10,560
and our residents so that everyone

1589
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,159
understands that we what every effort

1590
01:15:12,159 --> 01:15:14,880
that we're doing here is for the best of

1591
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:16,880
all residents of the city of SKC because

1592
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:19,239
we are all residents of the city of SKC

1593
01:15:19,239 --> 01:15:20,920
not just other people but the council

1594
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:22,560
members were residents as well so

1595
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,320
everything we do we want to do with

1596
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,360
residents and fine so I have nothing

1597
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:29,239
else and with that I'll ask for a motion

1598
01:15:29,239 --> 01:15:32,080
to adjourn move by Miss Patrick second

1599
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,120
