1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,840
Good morning, everybody.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:11,640
Good. [music] I thank y'all
for being here. As always, I'll start at

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:16,400
Oh, actually, come this way. There you
go, superstar.

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Uh I'll start
That's an inside joke.

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:25,760
Uh I'll start where we always do with
progress in the city. As of today, there

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:30,440
are now 11,620
vacant in the city. That's a net

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:34,560
decrease of 18 since the last time we
were together.

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:42,280
And there have been 53 homicides this
year compared to 77.

9
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:47,800
That is a decrease of 31%.
We have seen

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:52,640
174 non-fatal shootings compared to 172.
Something that we are vehemently working

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:58,560
on. And uh burglaries are down 17%.
Carjackings are down

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:02,760
41%. And as we begin to
shape our next 5-year comprehensive

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,200
violent prevention plan, we will
continue to let the data and our

14
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:13,320
residents guide that work. And as a
reminder, residents can submit feedback

15
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:17,080
to help shape the next CVIP online or
and attend one of the sessions that we

16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,080
are having. And you can find more
information on that on Muncie's website

17
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:28,120
or on their social media. With that, we
have uh three items at the top. First,

18
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:33,240
for the last 3 months, DOT, wreck and
parks, DPW, and our agencies have been

19
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,720
out in the communities working to meet
the six goals that I laid out during the

20
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,320
state of the city. Over this 90-day
sprint from April 12th to July 11th, our

21
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,680
wonderful workers who you see here
today, let's give them all a big round

22
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,680
of applause right there.

23
00:01:46,766 --> 00:01:48,786
» [applause]

24
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:59,720
» Not only met, but they exceeded every
single goal. Wreck and parks maintained

25
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:06,760
622
tree pits, 122 more than their goal. DPW

26
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:12,000
removed 6,172
graffiti marks, completed nearly 20,000

27
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:19,720
bulk waste pickups,
9,000 more than their goal, and swept

28
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:25,280
more than 38,000 miles of road, 11,000
more than their goal. DOT resurfaced

29
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:30,520
more than 28 lane miles and filled
36,000

30
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:35,400
potholes, 11,000 more than what we
challenged them to do. We'll take off

31
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:40,720
100 cuz I think I did 100 of it.
Uh I have to give a huge shout-out again

32
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,040
to all of our workers who uh contributed
to this effort, including all of the

33
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:49,040
folks that we have in the audience and
the people standing here today. Uh they

34
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:53,760
go above and beyond every day, not just
during the time of sprints. Uh they do

35
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:57,959
this work on days like today when it is
really, really, really hot, and we want

36
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:03,600
to thank them for their service to the
city and the residents of Baltimore. Uh

37
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:09,920
from DPW, uh Morton, Leticia, George,
and Britney. DOT, Biente, Keena, and KC.

38
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,560
Uh these folks who uh do this incredible
work and all of their colleagues, we

39
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,239
really, really want to thank you very
much. But I also encourage our residents

40
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,720
to thank our workers. Give them some
water. Talk to them when they're picking

41
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,440
up your trash or you see them working on
the street. You'll learn a lot about

42
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:29,320
what public service and what they do
each and every day and really a deep

43
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:34,200
appreciation for folks who serve your
community. Which brings me to my second

44
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:38,600
item. Uh last year we launched the first
ever Charm City Cleanup, the largest

45
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,080
citywide cleanup effort ever, and we're
doing it again this year. Uh we are

46
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:48,080
going to, over the next 24 weeks, our
workers and residents will be working

47
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,519
together to tackle projects across the
city of Baltimore, building on the

48
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,520
progress that we made during our
sprints. Our residents can sign up to

49
00:03:53,800 --> 00:04:00,520
visit uh by visiting baltimorecity.gov
or scanning that QR code. We'll have

50
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,600
that all over social media. And if you
need an area have an area that you

51
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:10,040
believe needs service, you can report it
through 311 via the app or by the phone.

52
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:16,600
And finally, as we move even deeper into
summer, our youth engagement strategy in

53
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:22,400
the mixed 26 is active across our city,
bringing together my office and and many

54
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:27,520
partners across the city of Baltimore to
balance engagement, outreach, and

55
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:33,160
enforcement when necessary. We've seen
the impact of this coordinated approach

56
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:38,560
in our previous years from 2023 to 2025
alone of youth victims of non-fatal

57
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:43,440
shootings fell by 57% and youth victims
of aggravated assaults fell by 40% and

58
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,720
we're building on that progress this
summer. City workers and our community

59
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:51,960
partners have already documented over
950

60
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:55,640
positive interactions and have connect
our young people with resources

61
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,720
including employment and financial
assistance to name a few. This week

62
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,200
we're also kicking off a Rock the Block,
which of course is our summer block

63
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,760
party series that the city has had for
quite some time. Last summer 1,700 young

64
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:14,280
people attended these block parties and
we want even more folks to come out this

65
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,919
year. Moco will be sharing information
about the Rock the Blocks in the

66
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,320
neighborhoods as they're coming up.
Tomorrow the first one is actually in

67
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,880
East Baltimore right by Chick Webb Rec
Center and you can visit

68
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:30,640
bmorethissummer.org
to find out all of this information. And

69
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:36,040
with that, I will open it up for
questions.

70
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,040
After I take a seat.

71
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,320
» Okay, any questions? We're not coming
up.

72
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,600
First questions
up here. Up. Chris. Chris.

73
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
» Go ahead, Chris. You're fine.
>> Good morning, Mayor Scott. Good morning.

74
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,040
» Good morning.
>> How many officers is it was last night?

75
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,320
A lot of them
>> around football here because the

76
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,560
All-Star Game hasn't been in Baltimore
since 1993.

77
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,000
» I remember.
>> Have you had any conversations about the

78
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:05,360
bringing that perhaps back to Baltimore?
>> I think everyone knows that

79
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:09,080
this is that Oriole Park is my favorite
place in Baltimore City. It's literally

80
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:14,120
why my daughter was in my office right
now. Her name is Camden because of

81
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:19,120
Camden Yards. I want nothing better.
Camden Yards literally is the ballpark

82
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:23,240
that every ballpark today is built on
its foundation. It deserves the All-Star

83
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:28,760
Game and we're going to be working with
anybody that wants to make that happen.

84
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,760
» Okay. Next question.

85
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,640
» Yep. I know you're going to ask me about
two big changes in Lake Clifton Park.

86
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:38,040
Can you talk about what's going on over
there?

87
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,480
» Yeah, so we we broke ground on a new
stadium, a Senator Robert Dalton,

88
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:46,640
a stadium for
Lake Clifton Reach Partnership Academy

89
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:51,120
High School. They're also have a track
and football field, soccer field.

90
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,840
It's really about improving the area.
The school deserves it, but I think

91
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:59,960
what's very unique about this is this is
the first time to our knowledge that

92
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:04,560
Recreation and Parks and City Schools
partner on construction of a facility

93
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,440
like that. We know Clifton Park is a
very well-used facility. And it's

94
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,280
something that I've been personally
involved in and Senator McCray has been

95
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,600
personally involved in because we know
the history of Lake Clifton. We know the

96
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,600
history of the people, Coach Tree and
others that have put so many young

97
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:26,120
Baltimoreans on the right path and into
greatness in their own life and we want

98
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:30,360
to make sure that this new school, 21st
Century School and their their student

99
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,680
athletes have the same opportunity as
well as the residents in Chum. I know

100
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Mark Washington, community leader, is
very excited about it. He tells me every

101
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:43,640
time I talk to him about how excited
they are to see that investment coming

102
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,160
to their park that quite frankly had not
had a lot of investment in many many

103
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,480
years.
>> Okay.

104
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Come on.
>> Sorry. Uh cuz that's a huge property.

105
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,640
There's the section that was sold to
>> Morgan State, yeah.

106
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,240
» Uh I assume that's separate from the
stadium you're talking about.

107
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,400
» Yes.
The stadium's on the other side.

108
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,120
» Well, on the west side.
>> Yeah, the stadium's No, the stadium's

109
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,240
what we call that the the southern side
of the park, right? And and we're very

110
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:12,440
excited about Morgan State and their
development, too, right? Morgan is a

111
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:17,240
fast-growing a university. We know that
they are having a record classes of

112
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:22,160
incoming freshmen every year. We know
that they're going to soon be another

113
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:26,600
top-tier research institution, even more
of a top-tier research institution for

114
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,800
us. And to have them in Clifton Park is
a big thing. I know that again, the

115
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:35,320
community supports it. People are
excited about excited about it. While

116
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:40,080
many of us who who grew up going to see
plays and things at the old Lake Clifton

117
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,960
High School, we also understand, you
know,

118
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,520
uh that
things have to change. We have a brand

119
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,080
new school that they're in.
Uh we're going to see what Morgan State

120
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,640
does, and we're excited.
>> We're going to stay

121
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,839
» last one.
>> Last one? Okay.

122
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,240
» A huge feature in the park, and part of
the agreement of the sale was the valve

123
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,960
house.
>> Valve house, uh-huh.

124
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,920
» Valve house, yeah. Can you tell me about
what was in the agreement?

125
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,680
» Uh I can't. We can follow up on that. I
do not have the details. I can I cannot

126
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:07,600
remember.
>> Okay. We're going to keep it back. Uh

127
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,320
welcome to Bmore.
>> Good morning, Minister

128
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280
» Hey, man. How are you?
>> Uh this is a question about the curfew

129
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,839
enforcement.
>> Yeah.

130
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:18,880
» BPT referred us to Morgan State because
BPT is not enforcing curfew. How is a

131
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:23,720
rule with no consequences a solution to
an ongoing issue surrounding juveniles?

132
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:27,640
Is it time for BPT to start enforcing a
city mandate?

133
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:31,440
» Well, I don't know who BTP is, but uh
I'll start here. First of all,

134
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:35,480
everybody's in part of of doing it,
right? BPD has a role, Morgan State has

135
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,400
a role. And when we talk about curfew
enforcement, uh curfew enforcement isn't

136
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,920
just about the police department. It's
about our youth engagement folks through

137
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:47,880
Munsey. It's about BPD. It's about other
police agencies like school police. This

138
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,240
is something that Baltimore has done for
quite some time. This is not anything

139
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:57,000
new. And we have to make sure that that
accountability is is not just with those

140
00:09:55,560 --> 00:10:01,520
young people, with their parents, right?
There was a time

141
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:05,080
uh that people if a young person was out
on the streets of Baltimore that we

142
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,200
would go and arrest the parents, right?
Well, if you arrest the parents, where

143
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,560
you think the kids are going to be the
next night? We are smarter and now

144
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,680
that's what we're going to be doing is
making sure there is accountability uh

145
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:20,880
for for everyone involved, but also uh
creating opportunity because uh while

146
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:27,320
while most of the focus is always on
like teenagers, 13, 14, 15, 16, uh if

147
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:31,640
you work the curfew center like I have,
you would know that sometimes they're

148
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:35,760
like four, five, six-year-olds wandering
miles away from home at night. And

149
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,040
that's not about holding just simply
that young person accountable.

150
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:43,440
Something's broken there with their
family and we have to make sure that we

151
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:47,720
help them so that that young person does
not uh grow into uh having something

152
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,440
very bad happen to them.
>> Okay. And we're going to kick it

153
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,760
» Excuse me, uh go ahead, sir. Yeah,
you're fine.

154
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,839
» Okay.
>> Mayor?

155
00:10:52,839 --> 00:10:59,520
Mayor, if you could just talk um
I again we we've got a serious heat and

156
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,800
uh code red. If you could talk about
that and an extension of anything that's

157
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,520
going on.
>> Yeah, it's going to be very hot, right?

158
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:12,600
So, we extended all public pools to 8:30
today. Uh we want people to stay

159
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:16,839
hydrated, uh stay inside if you can, use
our cooling centers. Please check on

160
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:21,280
elderly and vulnerable neighbors uh
because this is going to be a very hot

161
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:25,720
day as is tomorrow, right? We just went
through a wave of this a few weeks ago.

162
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:31,040
We have to take the heat very seriously
because it can kill you. Uh uh don't do

163
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,520
things that push yourself too hard. Make
sure that if you have to work outside,

164
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,560
that you're taking appropriate breaks
and things like that.

165
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:41,120
» Here.
>> Well, um and this this deals with um

166
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,960
Lake Montebello and the dredging.
>> Yeah.

167
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:48,720
» Um
it's a project of uh $23 million.

168
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:54,880
And just just checking on that in terms
of the cost of that, um the issues that

169
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,960
that that are that led to that, and and
uh

170
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,080
why it's taking so long.
>> Matt.

171
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,080
» Mhm.

172
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:08,640
» Uh yes, hey Barry, good to see you. Um
yeah, so this project is actually was

173
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:13,520
awarded today about $23 million. It's
actually been bid three times. Uh part

174
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,520
of what we are seeing that project
really encompasses the issues we're

175
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,520
seeing with supply chain disruption,
issues around the world, which have

176
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:26,280
increased the pricing. Um
we have now gotten to a point where the

177
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:30,200
estimate that we have uh meets that uh
pricing that we actually got, so we were

178
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:33,200
able to award the bid. So, it was
something that's been a couple years in

179
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:37,000
the making, but if anyone's been out at
Lake Montebello, you know that it needs

180
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:41,080
to be dredged. And this is going to
start this fall, and it should be about

181
00:12:38,839 --> 00:12:42,680
a 2-year project.
>> Okay.

182
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,320
Emily.
>> Oh.

183
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,560
» For Madison Town, I was just wondering
if you could explain how the walking

184
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,520
path situation is going to be and if
it's going to stay open or how that

185
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,560
» Yes, so what's going to happen is there
is going to be um

186
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,400
basically a bypass that's going to go up
and around so that we can take stuff out

187
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,880
of the lake without impacting the
walking path. There's going to be some

188
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,160
periods where we have to move equipment
that's going to require the walking path

189
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:09,880
to be closed, but we heard from uh the
council member there as well as the

190
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,440
communities that they really want this
to stay open, so we made that uh

191
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,880
contingent part of the design.
>> And how how long will it from the

192
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,680
dredging you're talking about starting
in the fall, how long will it take?

193
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,440
» About 2 years.
>> Okay.

194
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,040
» Emily, you know there's a a certain high
school with a great track team across

195
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,800
the street
that they they did not want to hear from

196
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:30,360
me about that.
>> Emily.

197
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,200
» I just one more question about the
Mechanic Theater. I recently the city

198
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,720
cited the owners of that property for
the first time, you know, even though

199
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,960
it's sat vacant here for a long while.
So, I guess I'm wondering if they can

200
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,320
expect more citations and if this is a
part of a kind of coordinated squeeze on

201
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:47,720
the city's part to try to push
development on that site.

202
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:51,800
» They should develop on the site and keep
the site up to code. If not, they will

203
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,000
get citations. That simple.
>> Have you seen any response to this?

204
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,720
There's a new
program that could eventually help them.

205
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:04,360
» I have not heard Yeah, I have not heard
yet, but we're hoping so. As you like uh

206
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,880
that site has been vacant Emily looking
like that longer than I've been in City

207
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:12,520
Hall and I've been here 19 years. So, we
we know that people want to

208
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,960
uh uh see a development and so do we. We
think it can be a crucial part of I

209
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,280
think about the investment that went
into the arena, some of the other things

210
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,720
going on around the area. It can be a
crucial part of of downtown having its

211
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,360
rebirth.
>> Okay.

212
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,880
Uh Chris
>> Mayor Scott, uh police reported eight

213
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,800
arrests this past weekend in Fells
Point, uh seven involving youths.

214
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,280
» Yep.
>> And some one of the

215
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:39,440
TV colleagues reported that she spoke to
somebody who this has been kind of going

216
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:43,200
on a number of people descending upon
Fells Point since 2020.

217
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:47,960
» I think they've been descending on Fells
Point a longer than 2020, but yes, sir.

218
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:51,680
» Yeah, I guess that's kind of uh answered
my question. That is it kind of the

219
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:55,320
norm, I guess, that in the summertime
large groups are going to gather there

220
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,320
and you know, that's just kind of the
reality.

221
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:03,960
» Listen, I think that that I think what
has happened Chris to your point uh

222
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:07,440
post 2020, post pandemic, it's not just
in Baltimore, this is this

223
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:10,280
around the country.
Uh um

224
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:14,360
people are going to places where folks
were already gathering and now they're

225
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:18,200
gathering outside instead of going
everyone going inside. Well, I grew up

226
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,400
at a time where we went into the club.
You didn't stand outside of the club or

227
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:27,360
parking lot pimp unless you couldn't get
in as they used to say, right? But, it's

228
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:31,240
a cultural thing, right now that folks
are doing this. People have always

229
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,680
descended on Fells Point and at the
entertainment areas where the bars are,

230
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,080
where their bars are, young people are
going to go to to hang out. People want

231
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,840
to meet guys, they want to meet girls,
they want to have a good time with their

232
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:46,320
friends. Uh we understand that. We know
that since the pandemic, it has grown in

233
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,360
a different way because folks, like I
said, don't do clubs and to the level

234
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:55,280
and other things that they used to do.
But, that's also why we have increased

235
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:59,560
our resources there. That's why you see
not just all the police presence there,

236
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:03,440
but city agency presence there, uh
Muncie and the other folks there uh

237
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,720
trying to deal with the issues there
because uh while it's okay for adults to

238
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:13,320
to be there and in bars, it's not okay
for people to be selling alcohol to

239
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,720
kids. It's not okay for parents to know
that their 14-year-old daughter is at

240
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,440
Fells Point at 1:00 in the morning.
That's not okay. And that's why we're

241
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:24,240
working with the community and working
through with law enforcement, our

242
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,400
partners to address the issue. If I had
my way, people would go back into

243
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,560
hanging in clubs cuz I'm not standing
outside in the heat, but I'm not them,

244
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,040
right?
>> Okay, last call for questions.

245
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,631
All right, thank you very much.
>> Thank you, everybody.
