00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:39,200
Tuesday, May 27, 2025, Community Development Human Services Committee meeting. I am Jason Winston, chair of the committee. I am joined by my colleagues to my right, council member Mary Norwood, to my far left. We have council member Matt Westmoreland and to my immediate left. We have council member Lilliana, back to y'all. This does constitute a quorum. So I will make a motion to adopt the agenda of a second by back to y'all. Please open the vote.

2
00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:46,930
One moment.

3
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:11,940
One moment.

4
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:31,550
The vote is open.

5
00:09:36,370 --> 00:09:38,910
The vote is closed for you, sir. You're nice. The agenda is adopted.

6
00:09:39,450 --> 00:09:44,410
Thank you. Colleagues, you've had a chance to look at the meeting minutes from my previous meeting.

7
00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:46,690
So I will make a motion to approve. Is there a second?

8
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:53,630
The vote is open.

9
00:09:57,060 --> 00:09:59,700
The vote is closed for you, sir. You're nice. The minutes are approved.

10
00:10:00,180 --> 00:10:03,440
Thank you, colleagues. It's just take us to the public comment section of our agenda.

11
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:11,800
However, we do have a communication appointee who doesn't need to get out of here relatively soon, so if there's no objection, I'd like to take that item first

12
00:10:13,910 --> 00:10:16,910
CNN would like to proceed with item number two.

13
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:25,810
Item number two 25 c 0 0 6 9, a communication from Mayor Andre Dickens, appointing Mr. David Simkins to serve as a member of the city

14
00:10:26,590 --> 00:10:31,110
Wilson County Recreation Authority, this appointment is for a time of four years.

15
00:10:32,970 --> 00:10:33,670
Thank you, Mr. Sympkins.

16
00:10:33,770 --> 00:10:39,130
You don't mind coming to the podium, telling us a little bit about yourself and why you're interested in this position.

17
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:46,240
We are both good distribution.

18
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,820
We've built an operating mechanism for both folks.

19
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,700
We've changed that airport to support.

20
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,280
It's not only here in the U.S.

21
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,380
but north of all throughout North America.

22
00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:55,480
All right.

23
00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:57,220
Any questions coming from colleagues?

24
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,140
Thank you.

25
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:00,500
You know, we've got a bunch of two approved by Councilmember West Morales.

26
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:03,400
I can buy back the RF. Please open the vote.

27
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:04,840
The vote is open.

28
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,650
The vote is closed.

29
00:11:11,650 --> 00:11:12,390
The vote is closed.

30
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:12,770
The vote is closed for you.

31
00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:14,350
You're nice. This item is favorable.

32
00:11:15,770 --> 00:11:17,370
Congratulations. We appreciate your service.

33
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:19,430
Thank you.

34
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:20,290
Thank you.

35
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:25,970
Now that brings us back to the public comment section of our agenda.

36
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:28,810
I'll just remind the public you have three minutes.

37
00:11:29,610 --> 00:11:32,990
I will gently remind you once you get close to the expression.

38
00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:39,070
expiration time. So we'll start off. Our first speaker is Carole Holiday. You'll have

39
00:11:39,070 --> 00:11:39,630
three minutes.

40
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,660
We'll get you a microphone there on this holiday. I've seen really

41
00:11:48,660 --> 00:11:49,960
on that heading this way.

42
00:11:57,370 --> 00:12:00,010
And I'm trying to raise enough that I can actually see you.

43
00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:13,520
Thank you. I am Carole Holiday. I am deeply disappointed that the city is again refusing to

44
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,900
address the critical issue of tree protection. Will our air be safe to breathe? Will

45
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:24,820
more homes flood, will keep cause preventable deaths, who will bear the burden? Outdoor workers,

46
00:12:25,380 --> 00:12:30,240
the elderly and people with health conditions who can't tolerate the heat, or those who

47
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,340
can barely afford rent much less air conditioning. Will it be legacy residents like those

48
00:12:35,340 --> 00:12:40,820
in Peoples Town, who lost their homes when the failed stormwater system caused sewage

49
00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:45,960
overflows in their homes? Or people living along the parts of Nancy Creek that flood? Will

50
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:51,980
the taxpayers who put the bill for capital improvements to address these problems, it will be all

51
00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:58,860
of us who pay. When developers don't pay their fair share, someone else pays the price. Yet once

52
00:12:58,860 --> 00:13:05,060
again, the city is conceding to developers, and someone has removed all of the preservation standards

53
00:13:05,060 --> 00:13:11,980
previously presented. The only remaining change is an increase in recompense. The first since

54
00:13:11,980 --> 00:13:19,060
two thousand and one. Why would you wait another seven months to implement this increase instead

55
00:13:19,060 --> 00:13:26,620
of implementing it immediately? It's fair to discount recompense for affordable housing. But discounts

56
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:33,140
should be commensurate with the depth and quantity of affordable housing, not like the last proposal,

57
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,520
which offered previous for developers. The last proposal would have given a 90% waiver to an

58
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:49,820
higher projects with no pre-preservation and only 20 percent of the units went it at the so-called

59
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:56,820
affordable rates, including a two-bedroom apartment for $2,056 a month, which is actually

60
00:13:56,820 --> 00:14:02,520
higher than the average cost of a two-bedroom apartment in Atlanta. This is fake affordability.

61
00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:08,360
I was surprised when your colleague was quoted in the paper, hinting at how policy is made.

62
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:18,820
He said, and I quote, there's public support for being a tree hugger versus the campaign contributions you might leave on someone else's table and quote

63
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:23,220
I hope we can all agree that this is not the right way to govern.

64
00:14:23,820 --> 00:14:25,160
Thank you.

65
00:14:25,340 --> 00:14:26,240
Thank you.

66
00:14:26,260 --> 00:14:30,680
Our next speaker is Henry Jordan and you'll have three minutes.

67
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Give me out your spirit of God, everyone that's here.

68
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,340
Oh Lord my God, indeed I put my trust.

69
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,140
Save me from all of them that persecute me.

70
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:29,580
I need Jesus to help me fight my enemies. What about you? Help me not to be an enemy to myself. At that name of Jesus, every knee,

71
00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:35,780
should bow, up things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth,

72
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:40,740
for living in seconds, have to temp first. These are three purposes for Jesus'

73
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:49,320
exhortation that every being in the universe someday submit to Him. That in addition to the

74
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:56,380
teacher universal submission, there are also some day, the universal confession that Jesus

75
00:15:56,380 --> 00:16:05,720
Christ is Lord. We need Jesus help from self-destruction. And this shall be the plague where

76
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:12,540
we have the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem. Their flesh

77
00:16:12,540 --> 00:16:23,700
are consumed away while they stand up on their feet and their eyes are consumed away in their

78
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:31,760
14 chapter 12 verse, decay, sockets is the plague where with the Lord will smite all the people

79
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:38,740
they are forward against Jerusalem. For Jesus to fight for us, we have to fight to obey him.

80
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:48,300
Y'all bought with the price. Me, not you, the servants of men, 1st 27 chapter, 23 verse. The price

81
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:55,240
pay for the blood of God's only son. We owe praise and glory for Jesus, for that on

82
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:01,160
the cross for our sins. We need Christ more than He need us, because we live in

83
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:06,560
his time. It's what we owe him. Now I'm trying to give him what I owe him the

84
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,700
praises and the glory and honor and power to obey Jesus. Thank you for listening to

85
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,240
Thank you, our next speaker is Michael Paris, followed by Dana Thompson.

86
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,180
Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, Council of the NVIDIA members. I'm Michael Paris, I'm

87
00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:30,440
President and CEO of the Council of a Quality Growth. I associate his handed out copies

88
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,800
of a letter that has been sent to you all by email, so you have that to take a look at.

89
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,520
I'll keep this mercifully short and tell you that I, number one, I want to say how much

90
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:47,040
appreciate the work that all the city staff has put into this ordinance especially city planning.

91
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,360
It's been hours and hours and hours and hours. I know y'all have been an extraordinary amount of time on this as well.

92
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:59,820
So I'm going to do appreciate that. The two main points in this letter and there's an appendix attached, which iterates numerous other

93
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,360
concerns. The number one

94
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:09,660
Number one concern is that we need to, we would really request that you re-address the affordable housing waivers,

95
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,600
which strangely did not end up in this version.

96
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,140
That's something we've always talked about.

97
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,920
We have others in the room that we've got to talk about that.

98
00:18:17,020 --> 00:18:23,400
And then secondly, we've offered here to the idea of, in fact, instituting a maximum recompits,

99
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,540
but we've showed numbers that are much, much higher than today.

100
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,300
And that's something I think the industry would be very much interested in and applies all the way

101
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:32,060
across the board.

102
00:18:32,060 --> 00:18:38,260
The letter you have, you'll hear from everybody today, is Atlanta, commercial border builders, the council quality growth,

103
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,440
they Atlanta home builders, and habitat for humanity.

104
00:18:41,980 --> 00:18:47,560
And in the appendix, you're going to see quite a bit of stuff, but there is a section here that

105
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:53,600
especially addresses just script, almost script, or zero, so there's minor things that we would

106
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:53,960
suggest.

107
00:18:54,180 --> 00:18:58,860
You'll take a look at, but some things that I wish you would really strongly consider in addition

108
00:18:58,860 --> 00:19:00,260
to those two main points.

109
00:19:00,260 --> 00:19:08,280
So instead of going through the mall, I'll let you take a look at those, appreciate the time and effort you all put into this and thank you for your work of this.

110
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,740
All right, thank you. Our next speaker is Dana Thompson.

111
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,500
You have three minutes.

112
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:24,780
Good afternoon, Chairman and Council members. Thank you for your time today.

113
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:35,240
The American Language Association strongly supports the city of Atlanta's building code to add a new section for roofing reflectant standards to reduce heat through the promotion of coal roofs.

114
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:48,700
These cost-effective coral reefs will reduce urban heat, reduce air pollution, including ozone and protect the health for all Atlanta residents, especially it's most vulnerable, including the young elderly in those living with lung disease.

115
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:59,200
The American lung association is the oldest voluntary public health association in the United States representing more than 34 million individuals living with lung disease.

116
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:08,320
The lung association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health, health and preventing lung disease, the research, education and advocacy.

117
00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:18,440
The lung association's 25, 25 state of the airport found that Atlanta Metro area ranked 48th worst for high ozone days.

118
00:20:19,140 --> 00:20:26,380
Ground-level ozone pollution also known as smog forms when other pollutants react in the presence of heat and sunlight.

119
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,080
More heat often means more ozone.

120
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:37,000
This pollutant causes swelling, irritation of the lungs, immediate irritation can cause weasing and coughing and shortness of breath.

121
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:41,320
With repeated exposure, ozone can permanently damage lung cells.

122
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:47,920
For those dealing with chronic lung disease like asthma or COPD, heat, smog, may trigger

123
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,280
an asthma attack, severe COPD symptoms, or lead to lung infections.

124
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:59,700
Concentration of dark materials within cities creates an urban heat island, which is estimated

125
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:05,140
to be upwards of 10 degrees hotter than areas outside the city and some neighborhoods can be

126
00:21:05,140 --> 00:21:08,100
up to 14 degrees hotter than others within the city.

127
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:14,680
Cool roofs are light colored roofs that reflect most heat, unlike conventional dark colored roofs.

128
00:21:15,180 --> 00:21:23,780
Cool roofs reflect more than 50% of solar radiation, compared to traditional dark roofs which reflect only about 15 to 20%.

129
00:21:23,780 --> 00:21:28,580
Dark surfaces like roads, parking lots, and roofs do not reflect the sun.

130
00:21:28,860 --> 00:21:36,160
Instead, they absorb the sunlight which increases the surrounding air to higher temperatures.

131
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,140
As a result, the buildings next to these dark surfaces use more energy for air conditioning

132
00:21:41,140 --> 00:21:46,040
it contribute to overall urban hot spots and increase ground level ozone.

133
00:21:46,940 --> 00:21:51,780
Smart surfaces is the term used to encompass a suite of technologies that can help reduce

134
00:21:51,780 --> 00:21:52,880
heat and cities.

135
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:59,800
These include reflective cool roofs, pavement, screen roofs, trees, PV systems, green spaces,

136
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:06,820
and rain gardens designed to help mitigate urban heat and enhance air quality and improve health.

137
00:22:07,420 --> 00:22:13,620
We encourage you to learn more about smart services such as cool roofs as they provide a broad range of health benefits.

138
00:22:14,580 --> 00:22:17,580
As an active and founding partner of the Smart Services Coalition,

139
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,620
I was strongly urge the City Council to move forward with this ordinance.

140
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,280
Together we can create a healthier, more resilient and safe city.

141
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,100
Thanks so much.

142
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:33,420
Thank you. Our next speaker is Jimmy Smith, followed by Brian Finley.

143
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:42,560
Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and Council members.

144
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,700
I'm Dr. Jimmy Smith and Service President of the Georgia Public Health Association,

145
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,720
and do speak in support of the ordinance to amend the city of Atlanta's building code

146
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:57,180
to add a new section for roofing reflects and standards to reduce heat produced by darker roofing materials.

147
00:22:58,220 --> 00:23:01,660
Extreme heat is now known as the deadliest weather-related hazard in the United States

148
00:23:01,660 --> 00:23:03,380
and it's getting worse.

149
00:23:03,980 --> 00:23:09,920
Atlanta now experiences 13 more extremely hot days each year than it did in the 70s.

150
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:16,440
And by mid-century, we predict that there will be actually around 45 to 46 days annually

151
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,700
with a heat index above 100 degrees.

152
00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:21,200
It's not just uncomfortable, it's dangerous.

153
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,100
And particularly for our children, our seniors, our outdoor workers,

154
00:23:25,660 --> 00:23:28,020
and those without access to air conditioning.

155
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:33,500
This ordinance seeks to address this concern by moving toward the use of smart surfaces,

156
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,980
and in that as you've heard previously reflective, cool roofs and pavements that help

157
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:44,960
coosit cool the cities by reflecting sunlight to reduce the urban heat effects.

158
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:51,920
In addition to your active engagement with trying to build urban forests and the trees in

159
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,180
the area to improve overall well-being.

160
00:23:54,180 --> 00:24:01,940
These smart surfaces matter, for the build climate resilience and improve public health by mitigating extreme heat,

161
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:08,040
reducing heat-related illnesses, improving air quality, and boosting mineral will be in.

162
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:14,720
While smart surfaces are needed everywhere in cities, they are especially important in the underserved

163
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:21,460
and sometimes unrecognized communities that typically house low income, minority, and otherwise vulnerable populations.

164
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:26,640
For those communities, these urban heat islands pose a major public health threat.

165
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,620
This proportionally impact the environmental populations and communities of color who

166
00:24:31,620 --> 00:24:35,280
often lack access to green spaces and infrastructure upgrades.

167
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,440
So on behalf of the Georgia Public Health Association, I urge you to give favorable

168
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,100
consideration to the cool roof ordinance.

169
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:44,760
Thank you.

170
00:24:46,810 --> 00:24:48,990
And we've been joined by Council Member Jason Dozier.

171
00:24:48,990 --> 00:24:54,110
Our next speaker is Brian Finley's followed by Nathan Hitches.

172
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:59,200
Greetings Council members. My name is Brian Finley.

173
00:24:59,540 --> 00:25:04,360
I am a serve as the Vice President of Housing and Land Development for Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.

174
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:09,620
As an organization committed to building safe affordable homes for working families,

175
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:14,160
we are also deeply value Atlanta's identity as the city in the forest.

176
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:18,920
We believe that housing and tree preservation are not competing interests.

177
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,560
They are shared vials that must be thoughtfully balanced.

178
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,280
We appreciate the significant work that has gone into

179
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,160
revising the trade protection ordinance.

180
00:25:28,780 --> 00:25:31,100
The recent updates represent a step forward

181
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:33,420
and we're encouraged by the city's responsiveness

182
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:35,480
to the community feedback.

183
00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:38,240
That said, we believe further refinements

184
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,600
are still needed to ensure the ordinance

185
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,020
supports affordable housing.

186
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,440
Especially on larger, more complex sites

187
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,820
that design flexibility is essential.

188
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,720
At the request for the mayor's office,

189
00:25:52,460 --> 00:25:56,240
we are beginning meetings with council members

190
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,980
and city staff later this month and in mid-June.

191
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:03,120
These kinds of issues, I can't say.

192
00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:08,580
These kinds of conversations along with testing

193
00:26:08,580 --> 00:26:12,520
ordinance on real-world projects will be critical

194
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:18,340
to making sure it works not in theory but in practice for our family's reserve.

195
00:26:19,020 --> 00:26:24,560
For that reason, we respectfully ask the Council to delay adoption of the TPO until this

196
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,660
collaboration process is complete.

197
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,560
Together we can shape the policy that protects our urban forest while ensuring Atlanta remains

198
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,980
the city where all families can afford to call home.

199
00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:41,760
We thank you for your time, your service, and your continued partnership.

200
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,260
Thank you.

201
00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:44,260
Thank you.

202
00:26:44,540 --> 00:26:48,040
Current speaker is Nathan Hedges, followed by Howard Kasman.

203
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:51,460
Hello, committee members.

204
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:53,600
Chairman, thank you so much for hearing me today.

205
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,820
I'm making Hedges with the Allen Morris Company, where the developers of the star

206
00:26:56,820 --> 00:26:59,720
metals at Atlanta projects in West Midtown.

207
00:27:00,060 --> 00:27:04,560
I'm here to speak on in regards to the tree protection ordinance, which is currently

208
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:10,200
held on today's agenda, which is something that we support strongly for the further

209
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:17,340
consideration. I won't re-elaborate all points that the other good folks here that have talked about through protection today made.

210
00:27:18,260 --> 00:27:29,140
Tree Preservation was removed. I did make comments at the last meeting, and specifically we'll show you again this project in West Midtown, which is landed in the Amores Company in our partners currently own.

211
00:27:29,420 --> 00:27:36,740
It is 3.3 acres under the Preservation Standards that were previously in there. There would have been a 35% Preservation requirement.

212
00:27:36,740 --> 00:27:40,820
In our entitlement of this project, we agreed to set aside

213
00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:44,340
about an acre of the property for green space.

214
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,680
That's publicly accessible.

215
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,520
That's included in the entitlement.

216
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,980
However, that's dependent on us being able to build parking

217
00:27:50,980 --> 00:27:55,120
below grade, not above grade, which takes a lot more space.

218
00:27:56,380 --> 00:27:58,020
And with the preservation standard,

219
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,620
we would not have been able to build that parking below grade

220
00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:02,680
because we would not have been able to just serve the land.

221
00:28:03,060 --> 00:28:04,620
And there would have been a defacto taking

222
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:11,060
of about an acre of this property, which has a cost-bases value of about $10 million, which obviously

223
00:28:11,060 --> 00:28:15,200
would have been a deep concern for us and our investors if the city had did it to

224
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,440
fact of taking a $10 million of land that was already entitled.

225
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,620
So I want to encourage you to continue to hold the ordinance until some of the concerns that

226
00:28:23,620 --> 00:28:24,940
are currently out there can be addressed.

227
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,240
Thank you for your time.

228
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,300
Thank you.

229
00:28:27,740 --> 00:28:28,300
Next speaker.

230
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:30,040
Howard Kasman followed by a Catholic.

231
00:28:33,530 --> 00:28:34,250
Good afternoon.

232
00:28:34,550 --> 00:28:35,350
I'm Howard Kasman.

233
00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:37,830
How did we get here today?

234
00:28:39,070 --> 00:28:45,890
Well, we've had a tree protection ordinance since 2001 with no actual protection for existing trees.

235
00:28:46,530 --> 00:28:51,590
Efforts since 2014 that have been building towards a stronger and more balanced tree ordinance.

236
00:28:52,870 --> 00:28:56,750
And then we had consultant with efforts that collapsed in 2019.

237
00:28:57,410 --> 00:29:02,690
Council members asked us to work with city planning staff to create a new ordinance.

238
00:29:02,690 --> 00:29:08,390
Last minute efforts to vote in a new version and late 2021 failed in the council.

239
00:29:08,990 --> 00:29:14,790
And after we met with the mayor in early 2022, he directed city planning to initiate a

240
00:29:14,790 --> 00:29:15,930
stakeholder group.

241
00:29:16,310 --> 00:29:22,310
The meetings in 2022 went nowhere but were restarted in 2024 with broader participation,

242
00:29:22,650 --> 00:29:25,150
stronger structure and facilitation.

243
00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:30,510
Broad recommendations included tree protection and affordability component and increased

244
00:29:30,510 --> 00:29:31,910
rack and pants fees.

245
00:29:32,810 --> 00:29:39,010
City planning released a draft based on these recommendations in January of 25 and then another

246
00:29:39,010 --> 00:29:41,490
revision came out May 1st.

247
00:29:41,570 --> 00:29:46,770
All the provisions were vetted by the audit department, NPUs, the planning department.

248
00:29:47,170 --> 00:29:51,950
All efforts were building towards a stronger and more balanced tree ordinance.

249
00:29:52,490 --> 00:29:53,750
Then something big happened.

250
00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:59,430
in response to somebody or some group city planning eliminated all tree protection.

251
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,780
Including on single family, and reduced the recompense fees. How can we have a tree protection ordinance without any actual protection?

252
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:20,000
How can protections for affordable housing be pulled from the proposed ordinance? How can the city continue to subsidize for profit developers with

253
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,800
occupants fees so far below market price.

254
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:29,560
Some developers have mistreated and possibly even lied about what the May 1st TPO version

255
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,760
would do to restrict their development.

256
00:30:32,220 --> 00:30:37,280
When we showed them, they were ignoring or hadn't read their provisions that would allow

257
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,920
them to develop and develop fully affordable housing we were ignored.

258
00:30:42,580 --> 00:30:48,440
How can the city ignore eight years of community input, city staff work, and recent input

259
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,180
from the NPUs.

260
00:30:50,220 --> 00:30:55,700
How can the city throw away taxpayer dollars spent on eight years of city staff and consultants

261
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,020
work on the tree ordinance?

262
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,060
How can the city ignore the findings and recommendations of two tree task force groups

263
00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:04,720
that the mayor originally asked for?

264
00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:10,140
How can the city ignore the findings and recommendations of the city design plan and other

265
00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:12,600
Atlanta planning and sustainability goals?

266
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:20,080
I was going to ask you today to support amendments that would restore single-family tree protections,

267
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,400
but my understanding is there is no support for that here on this committee.

268
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:26,680
Am I wrong?

269
00:31:26,980 --> 00:31:29,900
How do I inspire you guys to do something different?

270
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,000
How can we just let this all go?

271
00:31:34,460 --> 00:31:37,180
Because nothing's going to happen if we don't get it past now.

272
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Thank you.

273
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,440
Thank you.

274
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,560
next we have Katherine Cole followed by Dennis Harrell and we've been joined by

275
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,140
Councilmember Michael Julian Bob.

276
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,780
Hi I'm Katherine Cole I've done a lot of work with

277
00:31:52,780 --> 00:31:58,960
tree ordinances for the past 20 years a lot of work with City of Atlanta. I haven't

278
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:04,080
really prepared comments today I'm really not even sure where to start. One thing I

279
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,100
am going to say though is every time people come up here and say something they say we

280
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:19,940
love trees, but we love trees, but we love trees, but and trees are always falling into the

281
00:32:19,940 --> 00:32:31,280
but to the degree that we don't protect single tree today in City of Atlanta and the destruction

282
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:41,620
of the tree ordinance that was put before you two weeks ago, also promises to protect zero

283
00:32:41,620 --> 00:32:51,000
trees. People get paid to build things on land that trees stand on. People get paid to cut

284
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:59,420
down trees. People get paid to plant trees. There is no financial interest in keeping trees

285
00:32:59,420 --> 00:33:04,120
standing, but that is the most important thing we need to do for this city.

286
00:33:06,590 --> 00:33:13,010
The ordinance that came to you a couple weeks ago, there was a tree preservation standard

287
00:33:13,010 --> 00:33:20,050
for single-family residential that was vetted by the law department, went to the NPUs, the

288
00:33:20,050 --> 00:33:25,330
response from the NPUs was not that we want less tree protection we wanted more.

289
00:33:26,610 --> 00:33:30,450
That has been taken out along with everything else.

290
00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:37,470
What I would urge you to do, if you can do that, is to reinstate, at least, the single-family

291
00:33:37,470 --> 00:33:46,030
residential part of the tree ordinance that covers, basically, it only covers medium and large-sized

292
00:33:46,030 --> 00:33:46,310
lots.

293
00:33:46,450 --> 00:33:49,170
Small-sized lots are exempt from it.

294
00:33:49,530 --> 00:33:53,750
I also want to make just a couple of comments about some of the information that's been

295
00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:58,190
to you about what the ordinance will or will not do to certain development projects.

296
00:33:58,730 --> 00:33:59,990
We have looked at site plans.

297
00:34:00,330 --> 00:34:05,450
Some of the things that have been brought to you, or people said, well, we can't do affordable

298
00:34:05,450 --> 00:34:09,330
housing in this subdivision because it would take a certain amount of land.

299
00:34:09,610 --> 00:34:11,530
People did not read the text.

300
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:12,690
There's a choice.

301
00:34:12,970 --> 00:34:18,830
It did not take their land and on top of it, the lot sizes were so small that they would have

302
00:34:18,830 --> 00:34:23,010
been exempt from the ordinance and has been represented to you that people are going to lose

303
00:34:23,010 --> 00:34:25,050
lots and all that kind of stuff.

304
00:34:26,170 --> 00:34:28,910
The single-family residential part is well-vetted.

305
00:34:29,170 --> 00:34:31,950
I will not disagree that we need some more discussion

306
00:34:31,950 --> 00:34:34,210
on the commercial side.

307
00:34:34,390 --> 00:34:36,870
I agree that there needs to be more discussion there.

308
00:34:37,070 --> 00:34:38,830
But there's a lot that we can do.

309
00:34:39,330 --> 00:34:42,910
And what is being asked is to throw out all of it

310
00:34:42,910 --> 00:34:45,970
after all this work, all this collaboration.

311
00:34:46,170 --> 00:34:47,910
People are asking for more collaboration.

312
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:50,050
We've had 10 years of collaboration.

313
00:34:50,670 --> 00:34:51,630
We need to get this done.

314
00:34:51,970 --> 00:34:52,250
Thank you.

315
00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:57,510
All right. Thank you. Next speaker is Dennis Harrow followed by Carson Brown.

316
00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:05,910
Good afternoon, council members.

317
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:12,450
And I needed Dennis Harrow done with growth homes. We're in affordable housing builder. And we currently build in Atlanta.

318
00:35:13,330 --> 00:35:15,730
Birmingham, Alabama and Dallas taxes.

319
00:35:17,690 --> 00:35:21,430
Our unique mission is to provide affordable housing for home ownership.

320
00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:29,020
a more challenging pursuit than typical multifamily solution to the affordable and workforce housing crisis that we have.

321
00:35:30,290 --> 00:35:39,390
We have a current commitment to produce 1,000 single family homes in the city of Atlanta focusing on historically red line neighborhoods in Atlanta.

322
00:35:41,130 --> 00:35:46,250
As a part of a 1,000 home commitment, we have two existing communities in the late planning stages.

323
00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:54,710
Breyerwood, which is a 100-unit community located across from Green Breyer Mall, and our second

324
00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:57,610
one located at 1981 County Line Road.

325
00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:03,030
With financial support from the City of Atlanta, we will be able to provide homes for families

326
00:36:03,030 --> 00:36:07,730
aren't in between 80% and 100% of the area of the median income.

327
00:36:08,630 --> 00:36:13,750
As I'm sure you can understand, the impact of the proposed triordnance on the already low margins

328
00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:17,430
associated with these projects, which has made them unfeasible.

329
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:22,570
As a proposed ordinance is currently written, regardless of the intent.

330
00:36:23,290 --> 00:36:27,990
It is in direct opposition to what we see as the current administration's mission to provide

331
00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:33,510
affordable housing by placing an inordinate financial burden on projects such as ours.

332
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:45,620
In a specific example, our county line road project, right now we are at a 30% dvh under

333
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:54,300
the current guidelines that would cost us with, we have $30,000 plus DBH at the $30,000,

334
00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:55,620
we're right at a million dollars.

335
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,140
If we go up to $118, that's going to take us up to $3.5 million dollars.

336
00:37:01,380 --> 00:37:04,680
So that's a $2.5 million increase just in the first year increase.

337
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:08,620
And that would just simply make this project unsustainable for us.

338
00:37:14,020 --> 00:37:20,440
Our initial response when introduced to the proposed ordinance was, why change something

339
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:28,020
that's working. And I may be a little uninformed, based on some of the comments that preceded

340
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:34,510
me, it appears that it's not working, but in our world it's working and it's costing us.

341
00:37:35,460 --> 00:37:44,320
And one example we had to pay about $13,000 for one single family house detached that went on

342
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,960
market for about $350,000.

343
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,140
That's not sustainable.

344
00:37:51,260 --> 00:37:53,460
We would encourage you to continue to concept the max

345
00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:55,860
recompense at 30%.

346
00:37:55,860 --> 00:37:59,020
Because this encourages developers to say 30% of the trees,

347
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,920
which is a strong tree protection ordinance.

348
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,360
And we encourage you not to raise the qualifying

349
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,500
for max recompense above the 30%.

350
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,000
We understand and agree that preserving

351
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
treatment canopy is critical for a host of reasons.

352
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:14,060
We simply need a better balance.

353
00:38:14,060 --> 00:38:19,620
be trained preserving, treat canopy, and furthering the Council's agenda for affordable housing.

354
00:38:19,700 --> 00:38:21,860
Thank you, Ms. Harold. Time has expired. Thank you.

355
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,140
Next speaker is Carson Brown.

356
00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:33,270
Good afternoon, Council members. My name is Carson Brown, and I'm with the Council for Quality

357
00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:38,390
Growth. I will come before you to say that we support changes made to the May 12 draft ordinance,

358
00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:43,010
but it's important that both affordable housing waivers and maximum recompense fees continue to

359
00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:47,510
be part of this ordinance. We would propose instituting maximum recompense fees that are

360
00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:51,570
level, the current amount, and the current ordinance, and additionally we would support adding

361
00:38:51,570 --> 00:38:56,770
language regarding affordable housing, waivers, that for both for sale and rental units

362
00:38:56,770 --> 00:39:01,070
that our builders are able to take advantage of without the use of deed restrictions in

363
00:39:01,070 --> 00:39:05,190
other way and use restriction agreements, which limited the ability of home buyers to build equity

364
00:39:05,190 --> 00:39:09,590
in their home in their purchase homes. We would encourage you to consider both of those items,

365
00:39:10,110 --> 00:39:14,650
and we hope that you will reconsider or consider re-implementing both affordable housing waivers

366
00:39:14,650 --> 00:39:16,990
and maximum occupants, caps and this TPO.

367
00:39:17,370 --> 00:39:18,410
Thank you.

368
00:39:18,430 --> 00:39:19,050
Thank you.

369
00:39:19,490 --> 00:39:22,830
Our next speaker is Kevin Norton, followed by Garrett Wiley.

370
00:39:26,380 --> 00:39:27,280
Good afternoon, Council members.

371
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:28,440
My name is Kevin Norton.

372
00:39:28,740 --> 00:39:31,480
I'm a senior vice president of Land Development for Empark communities.

373
00:39:33,580 --> 00:39:37,480
Well, maybe painted that developers and builders would love to just cut down trees for

374
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:37,840
development.

375
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,120
I can assure you that it's not the case.

376
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:44,880
We participated in meeting meetings over the years and trying to find reasonable solutions.

377
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:51,560
And as you guys all know that you've been working hard on this, it's it's it's it's a tenuous balance.

378
00:39:53,500 --> 00:40:00,920
As developers and builders, we seek balance so that trees can be say while also allowing development to continue affordably.

379
00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:07,840
Affordable affordably means not only cost of trees, but ability to develop land.

380
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,700
If the TPO is too strange and undeveloped, the affordability in the city will suffer and

381
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:19,200
development will start forcing a crisis of another type, where we will not have enough

382
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,120
housing for the increasing population.

383
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,360
We are here today to applaud city planning office for releasing this May 1st, I'm sorry,

384
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:32,520
May 12th, 2 phase draft of the trepute action ordinance that responsibly delays portions of

385
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,640
the TPO that need to be project tested with the zoning 2.0.

386
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,720
We do, however, have some suggestions for adoption under this phase that include retaining

387
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:44,200
the maximum recompense and bringing back the affordability waivers.

388
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:49,520
We know that this phase 1 approach will provide protections for trees and with registration

389
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,340
requirements and heavier penalties will punish bad actors within the city.

390
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,320
We want to remind everyone that the development community has participated for years in these

391
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,180
drafts.

392
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:04,080
As the development community, we have presented example, for example, of how the May 1st version

393
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:09,080
of the TPO would have halted residential and commercial development, including affordable housing

394
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,780
projects, even built by habitat for humanity.

395
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:18,280
The greatest challenges we have had, we have found, are that the solutions posed for preservation

396
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:23,400
and or conservation practices do not work with the city's underlying zoning code.

397
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,460
For the TPO to be most effective, it truly needs to be tested with the zoning 2.0.

398
00:41:29,460 --> 00:41:32,900
that includes single family and commercial projects.

399
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,320
The zoning code is the backbone of city planning and the tree protection ordinance is a

400
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,880
subordinate ordinance that supports that zoning code.

401
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,560
Thank you for your time. Thank you for your continued efforts in this.

402
00:41:44,580 --> 00:41:46,980
Thank you. Next we have Garrett Wyland.

403
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,080
You have three minutes.

404
00:41:51,590 --> 00:41:57,550
Good afternoon, Mr. Chair and committee members. My name is Garrett Wyland, the vice president of government affairs

405
00:41:57,550 --> 00:41:59,550
for the Greater White Home Builders Association.

406
00:42:01,050 --> 00:42:04,230
Our association is, we have 1200 company members.

407
00:42:04,870 --> 00:42:07,090
About half of those are builders,

408
00:42:07,290 --> 00:42:08,310
or modelers, developers.

409
00:42:09,350 --> 00:42:10,630
The other half are service providers.

410
00:42:10,950 --> 00:42:11,710
That's support our industry.

411
00:42:13,590 --> 00:42:17,010
I have not spoken in front of you publicly in a couple of years,

412
00:42:17,230 --> 00:42:19,870
because we have followed the process of choosing

413
00:42:19,870 --> 00:42:23,370
our designated person to participate in the collaborative

414
00:42:23,370 --> 00:42:24,030
working group.

415
00:42:24,090 --> 00:42:25,810
So Jim Cheeks has been speaking to you

416
00:42:25,810 --> 00:42:31,030
reflecting our opinions and our views on contributing to this ordinance.

417
00:42:31,810 --> 00:42:36,630
But I didn't want to give an overview of what it means and what a common misconception

418
00:42:36,630 --> 00:42:40,470
is with a developer and what a developer is.

419
00:42:41,030 --> 00:42:47,090
Within our 600 builders, 2% of those are what we consider a large commercial or

420
00:42:47,090 --> 00:42:49,450
a large volume developer.

421
00:42:50,090 --> 00:42:51,690
The others are small business owners.

422
00:42:52,050 --> 00:42:54,390
And these are the ones that are building in the city of Atlanta.

423
00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:56,930
They build one to five homes a year.

424
00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:58,530
That's the majority of our membership.

425
00:42:58,570 --> 00:43:02,410
A lot of them do remodels and additions to homes.

426
00:43:03,510 --> 00:43:05,830
So with the preservation standards

427
00:43:05,830 --> 00:43:08,430
that were targeted more towards the single family

428
00:43:08,430 --> 00:43:11,550
residential side, more than any other,

429
00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:13,670
I think this is who this was affecting.

430
00:43:14,370 --> 00:43:18,850
And we believe that when you look at the amount of available land

431
00:43:18,850 --> 00:43:23,490
here in the city of Atlanta, that we must protect the ones

432
00:43:23,490 --> 00:43:27,850
want to continue to be here and work here. And with that, with a previous ordinance in place,

433
00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:31,870
we were having folks that were just saying we will never come back. We'll never come back to

434
00:43:31,870 --> 00:43:38,670
the city and be able to build here. So again, I'm going to go ahead and set down and support the letter.

435
00:43:38,970 --> 00:43:45,950
Our name was on the letter that was submitted to you earlier today and asked that you

436
00:43:45,950 --> 00:43:53,690
continue to take a little bit of time. Look at the max recompense fees. Look at considering

437
00:43:53,690 --> 00:43:59,050
bringing back in the affordable housing waivers and also ensuring the fact that we

438
00:43:59,790 --> 00:44:06,170
make sure this coincides with zoning 2.0 and the water shed regulations. So with that,

439
00:44:06,370 --> 00:44:12,750
I thank you for all the work that you all have done and for listening to both sides of the aisle.

440
00:44:12,750 --> 00:44:16,830
If you will on this issue, I know it's been an exhausting process and

441
00:44:17,330 --> 00:44:19,310
best that you please consider our request.

442
00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:20,430
Thank you.

443
00:44:20,450 --> 00:44:21,330
Thank you.

444
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:23,010
Our next speaker is Jeff Brunk.

445
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:34,740
Good afternoon.

446
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:36,580
Jeff Brunk with Brockville.

447
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,280
I wanted to kind of sound like a little bit of a broken record here.

448
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:45,140
Max Reckon events got to have it.

449
00:44:45,700 --> 00:44:48,880
You know, that's something that we feel is not negotiable.

450
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:55,140
You know, at least give us the idea of what's the worst case scenario when we're looking at a piece of property.

451
00:44:57,900 --> 00:44:59,980
In addition to that, you know,

452
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:15,980
The affordable housing waivers. I know that there are some discussions about people wanting limited to the percentage of affordability on a piece of project. That's not how deals get financed. So the market rate units on a project are helping to subsidize the affordable units.

453
00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:28,920
If you penalize the market rate by increasing the cost of the tree protection ordinance or recommends fees, you will then remove the potential subsidy from the affordable housing units.

454
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,000
You know, we can show you how the financial models work on those, there's plenty of bright people that understand that.

455
00:45:37,260 --> 00:45:46,200
One of the other things I really want to see that we feel very passionate about is moving the review of the Arborist to the front of the line.

456
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:55,520
Right now we go through, we buy a piece of property, we do all of our due diligence, we go through civil engineering designs, everything, the Arborist is the last person to review the plans.

457
00:45:56,020 --> 00:46:01,840
move them to the front, you know, do a binding pre-application meeting where we can sit down

458
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,800
and discuss these things and look at the trees and figure out, do we want to buy this

459
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:11,120
piece of property, do we want to take the risk, you know, you do that, we can stop arguing

460
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:17,720
about a lot of this, you know, we, we have had one site where we've had a greenfield site

461
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:24,440
cutting trees, most of the stuff we do, we developed an old junkyard, two different trucking

462
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:30,360
facilities, a recycling facility around the west side of Atlanta, so we're not out cut

463
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,460
and trees, but we are doing our best to deliver affordable housing.

464
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,240
I was talking about utilities last time I was here.

465
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,460
I think that I'm going to echo that again.

466
00:46:41,620 --> 00:46:48,600
We need to make sure that we are taking into consideration our utility work and the problems

467
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:53,340
that the city of Atlanta has with its old infrastructure that needs to be taken into account

468
00:46:53,340 --> 00:46:56,380
with the impacts of the street protection ordinance.

469
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,940
So, it's all I got.

470
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,120
Appreciate it. Thank you.

471
00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:02,640
All right, thank you.

472
00:47:03,180 --> 00:47:05,720
And our last speaker for today is Frankie Elliott.

473
00:47:10,330 --> 00:47:12,170
I got after a new Monday's Frankie Elliott

474
00:47:12,170 --> 00:47:13,950
and Land of Commercial Board of Realtors.

475
00:47:14,730 --> 00:47:16,470
I just want to reiterate what we said earlier,

476
00:47:16,650 --> 00:47:18,850
regarding the recompense, max recompense fees

477
00:47:18,850 --> 00:47:20,510
and also the affordable housing waiver.

478
00:47:20,890 --> 00:47:22,850
But I also wanted to point out

479
00:47:22,850 --> 00:47:25,150
one of the issues that we brought up in the letter

480
00:47:25,150 --> 00:47:26,910
you received had to do with what the gentleman,

481
00:47:26,910 --> 00:47:30,810
Mr. Rock just spoke about which was the pre-application planning meeting.

482
00:47:31,530 --> 00:47:37,150
I think there's a lot of value in making that a binding part of this process because I think that's where the

483
00:47:37,150 --> 00:47:43,910
Arborist and developer can sit down together and look at what the highest and best use of that property and how best to preserve what's there.

484
00:47:45,210 --> 00:47:51,830
So at the very beginning, everybody goes into a development or looks at a piece of property and understands right away what the protection

485
00:47:51,830 --> 00:47:54,390
or needs to be what the replanting needs to be.

486
00:47:54,650 --> 00:47:56,510
And we start that process right at front.

487
00:47:56,650 --> 00:47:58,950
So there's no additional cost at the end of it.

488
00:47:58,950 --> 00:48:00,570
Everybody understands what's going on.

489
00:48:00,670 --> 00:48:02,810
And also, just reminding you what's included in this ordinance

490
00:48:02,810 --> 00:48:05,870
also is in the appeals process and a notice process.

491
00:48:06,010 --> 00:48:08,590
So there's plenty of opportunity throughout this

492
00:48:08,590 --> 00:48:11,010
for people to participate in what happens

493
00:48:11,010 --> 00:48:12,450
on these lots and how they're developed.

494
00:48:12,570 --> 00:48:14,250
So I would really encourage you in addition

495
00:48:14,250 --> 00:48:16,530
to the two other items, the recompense,

496
00:48:16,910 --> 00:48:19,410
and the affordable housing waiver to strongly consider

497
00:48:19,410 --> 00:48:21,590
making those pre-application or pre-site

498
00:48:21,590 --> 00:48:25,130
approval process, finding within that process.

499
00:48:25,710 --> 00:48:26,370
Thank you so much.

500
00:48:26,750 --> 00:48:28,410
Again, thank you so much for agreeing to work with us,

501
00:48:28,490 --> 00:48:30,190
and continuing conversations on this issue.

502
00:48:30,870 --> 00:48:31,250
Thank you.

503
00:48:31,510 --> 00:48:34,130
And thank you to everyone who signed up today for public comment.

504
00:48:34,730 --> 00:48:36,710
This does take us to our presentations.

505
00:48:37,390 --> 00:48:38,190
Section of our agenda.

506
00:48:38,330 --> 00:48:39,610
We have two presentations today.

507
00:48:39,750 --> 00:48:42,070
Our first is the Department of Grants Community Development.

508
00:48:42,630 --> 00:48:44,330
We'll welcome up commissioner on it.

509
00:48:55,250 --> 00:49:00,270
Good afternoon, Chair Winston and CDHS Council members and team.

510
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:04,950
I have a fairly quick presentation for you today.

511
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,980
You are familiar with DGCD's model.

512
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:13,720
We are the Department of Grants and Community Development, and I'm the Board of

513
00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:14,800
Learning and I'm Service Commissioner.

514
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:21,320
I'm model is we are DGCD doing good in our community, grounded in service, committed to

515
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,180
moving a lens of forward and dedicated to excellence.

516
00:49:24,780 --> 00:49:28,160
The Department focuses on four primary areas.

517
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,040
HUD is how the mid funds are at the largest portion of our

518
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,180
charge, where we deal with the facilitation and

519
00:49:35,580 --> 00:49:39,140
implementation and monitoring of the allocation from the

520
00:49:39,140 --> 00:49:41,840
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for

521
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:46,200
Community Development Block Grant, CDBG, Home Investment

522
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,460
Partnership Program, Home Emergency Solutions Grant,

523
00:49:50,740 --> 00:49:54,440
ESG, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS,

524
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:59,880
And then we also have an old version of a Section 8 program.

525
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,940
I believe we are actually the last grantee, at least in the state,

526
00:50:04,260 --> 00:50:07,820
that still operates this Section 8 moderate rehab program.

527
00:50:08,940 --> 00:50:15,240
We are tasked also with applying for an implementing competitive grants,

528
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:20,100
but then also assisting other city events to departments with their federal

529
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:21,880
applications for grants.

530
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,880
And then lastly, we're closing out the city's federal recovery funds known as NSP.

531
00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:33,680
I know you are very familiar with these slides, so I'll go through it quickly for the benefit

532
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,580
of those watching in the public.

533
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:46,820
These next slides list the priorities that we consider when awarding and reviewing and monitoring CDBG, ESG,

534
00:50:54,550 --> 00:51:02,230
I change a little bit, I change the format of the presentation for our funding.

535
00:51:03,170 --> 00:51:07,710
I have been listening for you, I think, for the past three years, the individual reimbursement

536
00:51:07,710 --> 00:51:08,230
requests.

537
00:51:08,770 --> 00:51:14,250
I believe you know now that we are current, we are reimbursement faster than ever before,

538
00:51:14,250 --> 00:51:23,490
and are exceeding 2 CFR regulations, 2 CFR requirements of 30 days for reimbursing our

539
00:51:23,490 --> 00:51:29,390
subrecipients. We are averaging 22 days or less for those reimbursements. So unless you

540
00:51:29,390 --> 00:51:34,230
tell me you wish that you wish for me to return to the previous format, what I'll do

541
00:51:34,230 --> 00:51:40,030
going forward is just list for you to total to date of the amounts paid out in reimbursements.

542
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:45,370
These numbers are for our payments made through May 16th.

543
00:51:45,550 --> 00:51:49,350
So, the City's Department of Grants and Community Development has reimbursed

544
00:51:49,350 --> 00:51:58,150
subrecipients who are providing services with CDBG funds, 689,645, CDBGCV, which were

545
00:51:58,150 --> 00:52:09,010
our COVID funds, 238,157, ESG, 137,629, healthy homes, which is one of our newer competitive

546
00:52:09,010 --> 00:52:13,990
of grants, 2127, those reimbursements did not go to

547
00:52:13,990 --> 00:52:19,790
subrecipients, those reimbursements for trainings and other such things that HUD has mandated.

548
00:52:20,570 --> 00:52:29,710
The home program, we reimburse 1.5, almost $1.6 million, home ARP, which is home CV funds, $2.4 million,

549
00:52:42,970 --> 00:52:43,750
The

550
00:52:47,780 --> 00:53:03,300
next slide will reflect our grant balances today. This information is provided specifically so that you can track what the city was awarded versus how much we have remaining, as you are aware there are timelines attached to each grant.

551
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:10,800
And each grant year, so CDBG funds, by instance, are good for seven years.

552
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:16,660
Home funds are good for eight years, ESG funds are good for 24 months, and hopper funds are

553
00:53:16,660 --> 00:53:17,640
good for three years.

554
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:24,220
So each year attaches a different term to each of those funds, and we just want to keep you informed.

555
00:53:24,740 --> 00:53:30,220
For FY17 funds, the only remaining amount we have is for the Home program, and that balance

556
00:53:30,220 --> 00:53:32,960
is approximately $352,000.

557
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:39,780
For FY 18, we have home funds remaining at $1,851 to 11.

558
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:45,560
For FY 19, we have CDBG funds of just $2,017 remaining

559
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,980
from the more than $7 million allocated.

560
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,360
And then home funds of $1.6 million.

561
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:59,280
For FY 20, we have balances for CDBG, CDBG, CV, and home.

562
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:06,700
These numbers, as I mentioned, were as of May 16th, but then last week, we drew down additional funds.

563
00:54:07,780 --> 00:54:14,500
So, the CTVG CV balance is actually 1,059,653 and 53 cents.

564
00:54:14,980 --> 00:54:19,200
For FY21, we have CTVG home and home art funds remaining.

565
00:54:19,780 --> 00:54:26,040
For FY22, we have CTVG home and Hopua, but the Hopua funds has since been further expended.

566
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:35,280
in the balance there is 1,840,054 dollars in 93 cents for FY203.

567
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,500
We have funds remaining for CTVG home and hop 1.

568
00:54:39,940 --> 00:54:46,680
However, the hop with funds have been further extended and the balance there is 8,594,875

569
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:52,080
and 34 cents and FY204 we have the balances remaining here.

570
00:54:52,080 --> 00:55:01,420
So the last time I stated that for this year, drawdowns completed as of May 16, total $21,428, $34 and $68.

571
00:55:02,420 --> 00:55:14,080
However, with those additional drawdowns, because of the additional funds that have been expended, as of May 23rd, the total amount is $22,264,698.

572
00:55:16,730 --> 00:55:25,810
We recently, meeting two weeks ago, received our city of Atlanta FY-25 HUD allocation for

573
00:55:26,630 --> 00:55:32,630
our community development planning programs. This is the federal government's FY-25.

574
00:55:32,990 --> 00:55:39,810
So, fiscal year 25, and almost recent allocations are reflected here, we will now add once that grant

575
00:55:39,810 --> 00:55:53,390
agreement is fully executed, 6,602,130,000 to the CDBG grant, 2,331,804, and 29 cents for

576
00:55:53,390 --> 00:56:05,210
home, 15,399 and 142 for hoport, and 5,988,623 for ESG. So effective from the date that these

577
00:56:05,210 --> 00:56:12,030
grant agreements are executed. These funds for CDBG will be good for seven years. The home funds

578
00:56:12,030 --> 00:56:17,370
will be good for eight years. The hop of funds will be good for three years. And the ESG funds will

579
00:56:17,370 --> 00:56:18,910
be good for two years.

580
00:56:22,620 --> 00:56:27,520
The next slide is going into the total number of clients served for the last

581
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:35,340
calendar years. So last calendar year or our program year, we served almost 18,000 city of the

582
00:56:35,340 --> 00:56:40,820
to residents with the funds expanded during that year, not the entirety of the funds awarded,

583
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:47,300
but the funds expanded during that calendar year. And I do want to stress here that the majority

584
00:56:47,300 --> 00:56:56,600
of the 17,798 residents serve may less than 30% of AMI. So for instance, a family of four would be

585
00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:04,360
making less than $21,000. And so these are resources that are in fact needed and are used to leverage

586
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:11,060
day-to-day needs and just basic necessities for Atlanta residents and for hop was specifically

587
00:57:11,060 --> 00:57:15,060
we started more than Atlanta residents as that includes 29 counties.

588
00:57:15,620 --> 00:57:19,480
All of the other funds are limited specifically to the city of Atlanta.

589
00:57:21,660 --> 00:57:28,200
In the 2026 budget presentation last year for the Department of Grandson Community Development,

590
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:33,800
And I did share that the federal funding crisis is in fact the source of daily concern and

591
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,260
trepidation for our department.

592
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:42,460
The concern applies not only to the funds that were just allocated because those grant agreements

593
00:57:42,460 --> 00:57:48,800
have yet to be executed, but also to the funds that have already been awarded and are being

594
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:49,280
expanded.

595
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,900
Never before have we had funds frozen that have been previously awarded and are being expanded,

596
00:57:54,900 --> 00:58:00,040
But because we experienced that recently, it remains an ongoing concern for us.

597
00:58:00,340 --> 00:58:06,100
The city is now able to access those funds again, and we're moving quickly to encourage

598
00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:11,920
our subrecipients to spend properly and timely so that we can reimburse what they spend.

599
00:58:12,500 --> 00:58:16,640
But that federal crisis is a concern for funds that have yet to be allocated.

600
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:24,620
it. The federal government's FY206 funds reflects zeroing out a CDBG and home and folding

601
00:58:24,620 --> 00:58:29,760
hop-away into a different program, and we are just uncertain what that means going forward.

602
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:35,100
We can do as a department that can see to educate you also, you can spread the good news,

603
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:41,940
the administration, all about advocates, all of our subrecipients, and all of the community

604
00:58:41,940 --> 00:58:47,340
members and residents who will listen to that they can understand the economic impact and the

605
00:58:47,340 --> 00:58:49,340
true need of these funds.

606
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,720
Healthy homes is a newer program that is lead capacity.

607
00:58:55,540 --> 00:59:02,520
Healthy homes allows us to identify hazards, economic hazards, in low to moderate income residents

608
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,860
homes, and then mitigate those hazards.

609
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:10,300
And lead capacity allows us to help build the city's capacity for those subrecipients

610
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:13,240
who will go out and help us mitigate and address

611
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,720
lead in homes of low to moderate income residents.

612
00:59:17,420 --> 00:59:18,460
What's next for us?

613
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,000
The 2025 NOFA notice of funding availability is pending.

614
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,840
We actually released applications and started the process

615
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,220
on April 28th, and that process will close tomorrow.

616
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,720
We were sure to share all of our advertisements,

617
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,740
our opportunities for training, and seminars

618
00:59:34,740 --> 00:59:37,740
for those who are either interested in these funds

619
00:59:37,740 --> 00:59:41,260
or are applying to continue providing the resources.

620
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,480
We sent all of that information out to you.

621
00:59:43,740 --> 00:59:47,900
We were very diligent about providing individual seminars and trainings,

622
00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:49,640
and that process will close tomorrow.

623
00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:53,380
And then the Department will begin its review of all applications.

624
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,080
We will make recommendations to Mayor's office,

625
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,540
and we will bring those recommendations to you for approval.

626
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:09,540
Out 20, 25, 20, 29, consolidated plan is due to HUD, and we have completed the selection of the third party consultants.

627
01:00:10,380 --> 01:00:13,980
The draft has been submitted. We sent it back reviewing where we're reviewing again.

628
01:00:14,140 --> 01:00:19,880
We will submit that to Mayor's office, and that also will come to you for ultimate approval.

629
01:00:20,260 --> 01:00:24,180
And that concludes my quarterly presentation for the Department of Grants and Community Development.

630
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,940
And I will gladly answer any questions that you have.

631
01:00:26,940 --> 01:00:36,840
I think you commissioned the last time you weren't in front of us, you were kind of sound of the alarm about the lack of communication coming from HUD and the federal government just wanted to see how that was going now.

632
01:00:37,300 --> 01:00:37,900
It's the same.

633
01:00:39,540 --> 01:00:49,990
We understand that our local representatives have been instructed to reduce the amount of communications that they are providing.

634
01:00:49,990 --> 01:00:56,050
that did not come from CPD. They didn't tell me that they're not allowed to speak with me just to be clear because I know

635
01:00:56,050 --> 01:01:02,050
HUD watches these presentations. But we can tell we used to have daily weekly by weekly communications and

636
01:01:02,050 --> 01:01:09,150
conversations and they're just not happening emails or a few and far between and we're not getting

637
01:01:09,150 --> 01:01:16,210
responses that are needed just to process our day-to-day operations. So we're doing the best we can.

638
01:01:16,210 --> 01:01:20,370
We have systems in place, we have pauses and procedures that have been previously approved

639
01:01:20,370 --> 01:01:25,890
by HUD, and we are operating under those same pauses and procedures, but we have not seen

640
01:01:25,890 --> 01:01:27,510
an increase in communication.

641
01:01:29,190 --> 01:01:31,110
Any other questions, comments from colleagues?

642
01:01:32,410 --> 01:01:32,590
Let's see you now.

643
01:01:32,710 --> 01:01:33,570
We appreciate you coming in.

644
01:01:33,610 --> 01:01:34,090
Thank you.

645
01:01:34,310 --> 01:01:34,450
All right.

646
01:01:34,510 --> 01:01:34,950
Thank you.

647
01:01:35,270 --> 01:01:39,850
Our next quarterly update will be in best Atlanta, Dr. Cumminsage.

648
01:01:46,830 --> 01:01:47,670
Good afternoon.

649
01:01:47,670 --> 01:01:51,910
My name is Eloise Cementage, proud president and CEO here at Invest at Atlanta.

650
01:01:52,770 --> 01:01:58,270
I have asked the team to come to make a very swift presentation on three specific topics.

651
01:01:58,270 --> 01:02:00,510
It's one to give you enough date on the water grants.

652
01:02:01,070 --> 01:02:06,310
Then we will talk about the tax allocation district and then we'll end specifically on the

653
01:02:06,310 --> 01:02:13,730
about-line SSD. So with that, I'm going to turn over to Lori and leads our economic development team.

654
01:02:13,730 --> 01:02:21,470
Jennifer, who leads our community development and tax allocation district team, and then Nino, who is our CFO.

655
01:02:22,270 --> 01:02:22,390
Lori.

656
01:02:25,230 --> 01:02:31,490
Good afternoon. Following the water main disruption in May in June, 2024, and thanks to the

657
01:02:31,490 --> 01:02:36,670
swift leadership of Mayor Dickens and this Council, Invest at Lantau Ronside to Media at

658
01:02:36,670 --> 01:02:42,550
Lee, speaking with businesses, and we launched a water recovery program within just 48 hours

659
01:02:42,550 --> 01:02:44,550
to support our impacted businesses.

660
01:02:45,170 --> 01:02:48,490
To date, the program has delivered measurable results.

661
01:02:49,430 --> 01:02:51,750
472 small businesses funded,

662
01:02:52,510 --> 01:02:57,170
4,458,000 total grants awarded,

663
01:02:57,210 --> 01:03:03,330
and with an average grant amount of 9,446 dollars and 61 cents.

664
01:03:03,990 --> 01:03:07,550
3,625 employees compensated,

665
01:03:07,550 --> 01:03:13,050
and a median annual business revenue of 602,394.

666
01:03:13,630 --> 01:03:17,710
So the following graph illustrates the reach and the impact of the program today,

667
01:03:17,830 --> 01:03:22,550
underscoring our shared commitment to rapid response and small business resilience.

668
01:03:24,130 --> 01:03:29,490
We continue to be efficient stewards of the city's funds and we are finalizing internal

669
01:03:29,490 --> 01:03:36,090
reconciliation or awaiting final confirmations from our compliance and audit. Next slide, please.

670
01:03:36,710 --> 01:03:42,530
You know we like to talk about data and stats. I like to put faces with data, so Mr. Chair,

671
01:03:42,550 --> 01:03:45,690
you'll recognize this face in the picture. This is Mr. and Mrs.

672
01:03:46,330 --> 01:03:52,590
This is Mr. and Mrs. Jeanette Kat, who were in your district and were affected and thanks

673
01:03:52,590 --> 01:03:57,870
to the support of this council and this administration. She kept her doors open and was able

674
01:03:57,870 --> 01:04:04,090
to support her employees and she wanted me to relay thanks and appreciation to everyone here.

675
01:04:05,490 --> 01:04:08,990
That's that's my piece right there if anybody has any questions on the world.

676
01:04:09,650 --> 01:04:12,110
We'll do questions. We'll save questions for the end, but thank you, Laura.

677
01:04:12,790 --> 01:04:20,450
Great. Good afternoon everybody. Jennifer fine in best at Lanta. Again, I guess I'm going to try to be very brief and at the end

678
01:04:20,450 --> 01:04:28,430
dive into any questions in comments that you might have. So I'm going to give again a quick overview of the projects that we have approved so far in

679
01:04:28,430 --> 01:04:32,550
25 in the city's eight active tax allocation districts.

680
01:04:34,590 --> 01:04:40,510
Always like to start off with how important it is to note the breadth of how

681
01:04:40,510 --> 01:04:44,050
TAD Financing is directly impacting people.

682
01:04:44,650 --> 01:04:50,570
And it's really one of the only if not the only public financing tool to impact retention

683
01:04:50,570 --> 01:04:55,450
of jobs and small businesses and helping them grow by providing access to otherwise

684
01:04:55,450 --> 01:05:02,110
in accessible financing, TAD is very unique in that it can fund environmental remediation work

685
01:05:02,110 --> 01:05:07,750
on land that would otherwise sit undeveloped, reactivating these areas creates public open

686
01:05:07,750 --> 01:05:13,110
spaces and parks. I think we all know the active role that TAD plays in the creation of

687
01:05:13,110 --> 01:05:18,990
affordable housing. In a nutshell, we're trying to solve really complicated and significant

688
01:05:18,990 --> 01:05:24,330
issues and you'll see this a little bit in this presentation, but as I present quarterly,

689
01:05:24,330 --> 01:05:34,070
really trying to drill in on office to residential conversion, small business activation,

690
01:05:34,570 --> 01:05:38,330
as key priorities for how we implement TAD financing.

691
01:05:40,190 --> 01:05:45,010
Syslide gives an overview, again, of the projects so far in 2025.

692
01:05:45,030 --> 01:05:50,190
We've approved 14 projects or initiatives in five tax allocation districts.

693
01:05:50,190 --> 01:05:54,950
Again, representing a wide range of project types and geography.

694
01:05:55,650 --> 01:06:01,790
As you can see, over 42 million in TAD Financing has been awarded, which in turn will leverage

695
01:06:01,790 --> 01:06:06,690
over $273 million of private investment into the city of Atlanta.

696
01:06:07,550 --> 01:06:15,430
These projects represent 682 housing units of which 302 will be affordable at AMI area median

697
01:06:15,430 --> 01:06:19,510
income limits ranging from 30 to 80%.

698
01:06:19,510 --> 01:06:25,890
tab funding will also be used to redevelopment vacant commercial space and to need a neighborhood

699
01:06:25,890 --> 01:06:33,610
serving retail and restaurant use. So just an overview map showing the location of these 14

700
01:06:33,610 --> 01:06:40,590
projects and initiatives. In particular we're happy to see projects in the Perry Bolton Tad as well

701
01:06:40,590 --> 01:06:47,130
as the west side in the Beltline but Perry Bolton Tad is an area of increased importance for

702
01:06:47,130 --> 01:06:53,330
lots of reasons, development, activity, but also we have a funding availability in the

703
01:06:53,330 --> 01:06:54,390
in the PeriVolent tab.

704
01:06:55,870 --> 01:07:01,370
This is an overview of all the project details for these 14 projects, just as it take

705
01:07:01,370 --> 01:07:08,210
away for you, and then the last couple slides will dive into what these projects are going

706
01:07:08,210 --> 01:07:12,750
to look like, who they serve, where they're located, to hopefully get you excited about

707
01:07:12,750 --> 01:07:14,670
that the work that we're doing.

708
01:07:15,170 --> 01:07:19,950
Project on top, we are extremely excited about it's been a long time coming.

709
01:07:19,950 --> 01:07:21,650
It should look very familiar to you.

710
01:07:21,790 --> 01:07:28,610
This is the complete redevelopment of 143 Alabama through an RFP process.

711
01:07:28,690 --> 01:07:33,350
Gorman and company was selected to completely redevelop the vacant property,

712
01:07:33,650 --> 01:07:36,430
as well as some adjacent parcels and two phases.

713
01:07:36,870 --> 01:07:41,970
Phase one A is the stabilization, security, and activation of the property

714
01:07:41,970 --> 01:07:47,510
prior to the World Cup. That's obviously going to involve some physical improvements. You'll

715
01:07:47,510 --> 01:07:54,390
see to the building some reactivation of a surface parking lot in the back to capitalize on

716
01:07:54,390 --> 01:08:00,570
the World Cup activities as well as some community activities signifying the redevelopment

717
01:08:00,570 --> 01:08:08,470
of the property and then phase one B will be the actual conversion of the building into 50 units

718
01:08:08,470 --> 01:08:15,110
affordable housing. The developer just recently, last week, applied for 9% tax credits through

719
01:08:15,110 --> 01:08:21,450
DCA. Hopefully those will be awarded. And then later on phase 2, you can see it in the

720
01:08:21,450 --> 01:08:29,130
far right image in the background. That will be new construction on the vacant property of 151

721
01:08:29,130 --> 01:08:36,530
affordable units. So all told, the $3.5 million west side grant was awarded for the first phase,

722
01:08:36,530 --> 01:08:39,390
phase one and one A and one B.

723
01:08:40,050 --> 01:08:41,430
And we're actually going to have a project

724
01:08:41,430 --> 01:08:45,310
groundbreaking on June 5th that's just been announced.

725
01:08:45,670 --> 01:08:47,250
So hopefully we'll see you there.

726
01:08:47,570 --> 01:08:51,170
Bottom image shows the adaptive reuse

727
01:08:51,170 --> 01:08:54,950
of the 100 year old warehouse buildings cut rate box,

728
01:08:55,350 --> 01:08:57,510
which a lot of us are familiar with if we ride

729
01:08:57,510 --> 01:08:59,010
Marta to the airport.

730
01:08:59,090 --> 01:09:02,270
You can see them to the left, right adjacent to the outline.

731
01:09:03,250 --> 01:09:05,350
So the project will involve multimodal

732
01:09:05,350 --> 01:09:11,710
transit oriented retail office and residential space to create a really key gateway to the

733
01:09:11,710 --> 01:09:14,510
Beltline Trail adjacent to the Murphy Crossing site.

734
01:09:15,070 --> 01:09:22,330
The development will include 1226 lost-style apartments as well as over 12,000 square feet

735
01:09:22,330 --> 01:09:28,790
of ground floor commercial and an additional 3,200 square feet of retail space located in

736
01:09:28,790 --> 01:09:32,170
an outbuildings and or containers along a Beltline spur.

737
01:09:32,170 --> 01:09:39,590
$3 million about line tag grant was awarded to aid in this $53 million development with an estimated

738
01:09:39,590 --> 01:09:42,210
2026 completion date.

739
01:09:44,470 --> 01:09:50,210
Then the last of my projects slides show some, again, very unique projects that really

740
01:09:50,210 --> 01:09:52,430
only tad can help finance.

741
01:09:53,070 --> 01:09:58,130
Top slide shows the complete renovation of a long vacant small commercial building in South

742
01:09:58,130 --> 01:10:05,590
downtown into a new El Tassaro restaurant, just down the street from us at 171 Mitchell Street.

743
01:10:06,170 --> 01:10:11,450
$50,000 East Side Tads small business improvement grant was awarded to help the local

744
01:10:11,450 --> 01:10:17,150
business owner with build out of an ultimately $2.7 million project that's being done

745
01:10:17,150 --> 01:10:23,990
in conjunction with the property owners, Soto, South Downtown. So we're extremely excited about

746
01:10:23,990 --> 01:10:30,050
as the restaurant is a local success story piggybacking off of its original location in the

747
01:10:30,050 --> 01:10:36,230
edgewood neighborhood, as well as its second location at Leanne White. Project Activate's

748
01:10:36,230 --> 01:10:41,550
a key property at the intersection of broad and Mitchell, the center of Soto's redevelopment

749
01:10:41,550 --> 01:10:48,830
of their south-down portfolio. And then the imagery on the bottom is a 20 unit infill development

750
01:10:48,830 --> 01:10:55,350
on two vacant residential lots on James P. Brawley Boulevard in the English-Nap English Avenue

751
01:10:55,350 --> 01:11:02,170
neighborhood. The developer has been a resident of the neighborhood for over 10 years and has

752
01:11:02,170 --> 01:11:09,690
been developing properties in the neighborhood since 2007. We're always extremely happy to help

753
01:11:09,690 --> 01:11:15,570
support small local developers who are in turn aligned with our mission and priority to create

754
01:11:15,570 --> 01:11:18,030
quality affordable housing.

755
01:11:20,570 --> 01:11:23,270
I think this one should be my last slide.

756
01:11:23,990 --> 01:11:26,650
Again, just to wrap up and to give an overview

757
01:11:26,650 --> 01:11:29,530
of the numbers related to these 14 projects

758
01:11:29,530 --> 01:11:33,790
that I just talked about, but also just driving home

759
01:11:33,790 --> 01:11:36,450
that these projects directly impact people,

760
01:11:36,790 --> 01:11:39,310
the residents, and the employees in the city of Atlanta,

761
01:11:39,930 --> 01:11:42,410
and then I can't overstate how incredibly difficult

762
01:11:42,410 --> 01:11:45,250
the work is, development is very difficult right now.

763
01:11:45,250 --> 01:11:51,550
general, um, TAD, one of the most robust tools that we have to help get projects over the

764
01:11:51,550 --> 01:11:57,450
finish line, um, and we're committed to the work and TAD is a critical piece, um, of the

765
01:11:57,450 --> 01:12:02,850
success of these developments in the city. And I think with that, I'll turn it over to Nina.

766
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:11,820
Good afternoon. I'm Nina Chapada, the CFO here at Embest Atlanta. Uh, 2021 bonds were issued to help

767
01:12:11,820 --> 01:12:18,320
the completion of the Beltline Trail. 88 million was available for projects at issuance.

768
01:12:18,580 --> 01:12:26,600
Through March 31st, 2025, around 80% of those funds have been spent leaving a balance of 18.6 million.

769
01:12:26,820 --> 01:12:31,360
This balance is anticipated to be spent by the end of fiscal year 26.

770
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:37,160
Collections for the last two tax years of seven and eight million respectively are sufficient

771
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:41,820
to cover the debt service. That concludes the Beltline Special Services District update.

772
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,220
And I will turn it back over to Dr. Clementage.

773
01:12:46,450 --> 01:12:50,410
Thank you, team. And just open it up now to the Council for any questions you may have.

774
01:12:50,730 --> 01:12:53,610
Thank you, Dr. Clementage. We got some folks queuing up.

775
01:12:53,770 --> 01:12:55,370
We'll start with Council Member Jason Beijer.

776
01:12:55,830 --> 01:12:57,890
Thank you, Mr. Chair and good to see you, Dr. Clementage.

777
01:12:59,090 --> 01:13:02,050
A couple of quick questions. The first one, Lexi Business Program.

778
01:13:02,150 --> 01:13:04,670
How's it going so far? What's that engagement low like so far?

779
01:13:05,050 --> 01:13:07,230
Yeah. I'm going to turn it to Lord.

780
01:13:10,390 --> 01:13:16,210
I actually spoke about this at our budget meeting and commended both this council and yourself

781
01:13:16,210 --> 01:13:20,750
for being instrumental. It's going really well. We've had a lot of people sign up to our

782
01:13:20,750 --> 01:13:26,150
Atlanta local legacy app. If you haven't already, done it. It's online. We've had a lot of outreach

783
01:13:26,150 --> 01:13:33,170
to legacy businesses and they've really appreciated the face-to-face engagement as well. And the legacy

784
01:13:33,170 --> 01:13:41,490
empowerment grant was launched on May 1st and we have had, I think, 23 applicants and there's

785
01:13:41,490 --> 01:13:48,150
some in process right now, we've hosted in-person webinar and in-person events as well,

786
01:13:48,430 --> 01:13:52,910
and it's been very well received, so thank you so much for asking the question.

787
01:13:53,290 --> 01:13:59,290
Absolutely, and just my ask for your team is that's in the self-start collecting data and

788
01:13:59,290 --> 01:14:06,410
figuring out outcomes and having success stories, I don't love to see that because for me as I

789
01:14:06,410 --> 01:14:11,250
talk to potential funders and potential supporters, I want to make sure I have that information

790
01:14:11,250 --> 01:14:15,610
armed array to go so we can make sure we can grow to program as we move forward.

791
01:14:16,030 --> 01:14:16,890
I'm there with you.

792
01:14:17,190 --> 01:14:17,590
All right.

793
01:14:18,010 --> 01:14:21,690
And then my other question I had was about the TADS.

794
01:14:22,670 --> 01:14:28,950
So Jennifer, with the quarter TADS and with the stadium TAD, my understanding was that

795
01:14:28,950 --> 01:14:35,450
expected to close around 2030-2031, but on the presentation it has 2050, is that a change

796
01:14:35,450 --> 01:14:38,850
that we're working on or if you can talk through that?

797
01:14:39,130 --> 01:14:45,690
Yeah, we're identifying the longest term of commitment and APS has pledged support in those

798
01:14:45,690 --> 01:14:58,930
corridor tabs through 2050. That was part of the 2018 omnibus category. So we probably should have

799
01:14:58,930 --> 01:14:59,810
the way that we're

800
01:15:00,020 --> 01:15:05,300
Identifying that is the longest term that we have from the support of a tax and jurisdiction.

801
01:15:06,100 --> 01:15:11,920
Okay. Has what about full and county? Full and county so far does not extend to 2050.

802
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:14,140
Okay. But the APS portion does.

803
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:24,400
Okay. And what percentage of the full and county contribution is in the overall revenue stream for our tax funding?

804
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:24,940
for those.

805
01:15:26,140 --> 01:15:31,400
APS, the APS portion of the contribution is about, I mean, the Fulton County portion is about

806
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:32,480
24 percent.

807
01:15:32,500 --> 01:15:32,980
Okay.

808
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:34,540
Okay.

809
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:43,620
And then my other question with the Beltline tag and also the Beltline SSD, I know 2030-2031,

810
01:15:43,700 --> 01:15:45,600
we're trying to get the trail wrapped up.

811
01:15:45,740 --> 01:15:50,620
However, it's just a larger conversation about how do we finance transit on the Beltline?

812
01:15:51,260 --> 01:15:57,680
I'm curious, on one hand, if there's been an exploration of extending that tab out to support

813
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:02,340
a few of the trans operation, and, secondly, if there's an exploration about the SSD

814
01:16:02,340 --> 01:16:07,840
and using that as a tool to support transit on the belt line as well, recognizing that both

815
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:13,240
are, I imagine there would need to be so much a solution or some changes to expand either the scope

816
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:19,400
of what can be spent on with those funding streams or also extending that out, but

817
01:16:20,260 --> 01:16:23,840
recognizing the changes that have been made to the east side.

818
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:27,420
Street card extension is some exploratory work that's happening in my district on the

819
01:16:27,420 --> 01:16:34,920
Southwest Rail. I'm very curious to see what we can do to support getting rail, getting

820
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:40,620
friends on a belt line, do our existing tools, and I know this might be a strong vehicle for

821
01:16:40,620 --> 01:16:42,340
that, so I'm packed at a little bit.

822
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:49,320
So the answer is yes, we are looking at all options from the tad to more philanthropic

823
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:57,340
to other partners, to even government, federal funding, even the way we've seen a couple changes,

824
01:16:57,660 --> 01:17:03,440
but really trying to explore always to try to understand how we can get there, because the goal is how we can get there.

825
01:17:03,620 --> 01:17:05,780
So all of the options are currently on the table.

826
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:06,220
Okay.

827
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,280
The magic can't go into more detail right now.

828
01:17:08,700 --> 01:17:09,180
Got it.

829
01:17:09,300 --> 01:17:09,840
You know, I understood.

830
01:17:10,980 --> 01:17:13,780
I think all I have, Mr. Chair, are you all good to see you all again?

831
01:17:14,180 --> 01:17:14,480
Thank you.

832
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:14,880
Thank you.

833
01:17:15,740 --> 01:17:17,540
Next we'll have questions from council member.

834
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:27,540
Thank you. And I was always the policy wonk of council managed to knock out a good bit.

835
01:17:28,980 --> 01:17:32,280
Just a few short questions, short being relative.

836
01:17:33,220 --> 01:17:36,980
The section 8 housing updates, the section 8 piece that we adopted in year one, that

837
01:17:36,980 --> 01:17:42,780
invested really led the way on, where we did any money coming from you all to any

838
01:17:42,780 --> 01:17:46,980
development, those developers would have to be register with Atlanta housing and accept

839
01:17:46,980 --> 01:17:48,200
Section 8 vouchers.

840
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,680
We did put a requirement on number but we did pass that year one and I don't expect

841
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:55,760
you to have the numbers today but if you someone from the team could get me the numbers of

842
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:59,640
how many projects that have been enforced with that would be very helpful.

843
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:04,280
Most of our projects have them so I would say it's probably 100% but I'm going to go back and

844
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:05,080
check with the team.

845
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:06,100
Thank you.

846
01:18:06,220 --> 01:18:11,260
Similar to a customer dozer would love to be armed with those statistics and facts.

847
01:18:12,620 --> 01:18:16,340
You'll have been doing a lot in Sweden, and obviously that's been a big focal point for me.

848
01:18:16,380 --> 01:18:21,880
And my district, especially not that FIFA should be the momentum for us to pour into this corridor.

849
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,540
But obviously trying to ride the wave of that momentum.

850
01:18:25,940 --> 01:18:29,860
And best is obviously that they're long before all the attention is input there.

851
01:18:30,580 --> 01:18:31,600
So how are our developments?

852
01:18:31,820 --> 01:18:39,080
I know that there were some of the wheat-free properties that many have been given to and a few other buildings.

853
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:44,580
and I haven't seen much movement on those so curious as to where we are.

854
01:18:44,900 --> 01:18:47,200
Yeah, I'll let Jennifer, she's dealing directly with developers.

855
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:49,060
Sorry.

856
01:18:49,060 --> 01:18:52,840
I think your question was about the projects that you know have been approved in sweet Auburn

857
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:54,440
and kind of just development activity.

858
01:18:55,480 --> 01:18:58,780
So the ones that are the most obvious to speak to are the ones where you can see the activity,

859
01:18:59,140 --> 01:19:02,780
like sweet Auburn grand, like front porch, like Georgia works.

860
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:07,060
Those are all, you know, either complete or in the throws of being complete.

861
01:19:07,060 --> 01:19:13,620
You mentioned Wheat Street specifically we approved two projects from Wheat Street. One was

862
01:19:13,620 --> 01:19:18,860
renovation kind of redevelopment of the education portion of the United States and they did a fantastic job.

863
01:19:19,140 --> 01:19:24,120
Yes, so that one so you already know that one's complete toward it and good and then the other one and quite honestly

864
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:27,620
So this I actually owe a follow-up conversation to them

865
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,400
We've had conversations several months ago. It's the building

866
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,940
We're talking about the property that's the building that is on the same lot as

867
01:19:38,300 --> 01:19:42,200
I want to say it's not the Mason building, but yes, it's that baking building.

868
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:48,240
We awarded a resurgence grant super excited about it because it provides opportunity for ground floor.

869
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:49,100
Retail.

870
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,220
And it hasn't stalled.

871
01:19:51,420 --> 01:19:58,820
There will be activity, but it was very much delayed because it had an anchor tenant that was supposed to go in there restaurant use.

872
01:19:59,020 --> 01:20:01,480
That is no longer going to be located in that building.

873
01:20:01,480 --> 01:20:14,700
Okay. So the update that I need to get is how successful they've been in attracting another anchor tenant for that ground floor because the viability, the financing, the cash flow of it kind of depends on that.

874
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:26,280
So that one hasn't started yet. So I get information as of this week and I can report back, but that is definitely kind of on our radar to keep track of that.

875
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:27,840
Thank you.

876
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,280
Because they have done a really good job with the resources

877
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:32,580
they've been getting from you all.

878
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,360
Yeah, so sometimes with projects,

879
01:20:34,580 --> 01:20:37,400
I get concerned about whether a project's actually going

880
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:39,240
to advance, because that does happen.

881
01:20:39,420 --> 01:20:40,420
It's really difficult work.

882
01:20:40,440 --> 01:20:42,000
Doesn't happen a ton.

883
01:20:42,440 --> 01:20:44,980
This one, I'm not concerned about that so much.

884
01:20:45,140 --> 01:20:48,780
It's more just really wanting to capitalize on this other

885
01:20:48,780 --> 01:20:51,380
momentum, but understanding how important that anchor

886
01:20:51,380 --> 01:20:52,100
tended is.

887
01:20:52,140 --> 01:20:54,980
And if they're trying to go for restaurant use,

888
01:20:54,980 --> 01:20:59,980
That's a very difficult and very specific, so I can appreciate them being deliberate about that.

889
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:04,340
And so I think that's the case right now, but I'll call them and find out.

890
01:21:04,500 --> 01:21:04,940
Thank you.

891
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:09,820
And his investment involved with the Butler Y project with Gorman or is that a separate?

892
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:15,480
So they will be, I mean, we ultimately, I think, will be.

893
01:21:15,780 --> 01:21:18,520
So it's been on our pipeline for a long, long time.

894
01:21:18,620 --> 01:21:21,880
I know in the building is that buildings have come down, so we're moving it along.

895
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,640
We did help with the technical assistance pre-development,

896
01:21:25,900 --> 01:21:29,900
e-cci-tad funds helping to generate and get that project to a level of readiness.

897
01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:36,100
And so I anticipate they will be applying for e-cci-tad grant funding for that project.

898
01:21:36,820 --> 01:21:41,180
Thank you, and I know we talked about startup business locations and kind of the initiative you have going,

899
01:21:41,380 --> 01:21:43,580
and I know that my team is working with you on that.

900
01:21:43,820 --> 01:21:48,640
And I hear about to reopen that, so we found locations were very excited to work with you on that project.

901
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:56,130
And I was gonna ask how close were we at the Georgia Works building being done. Yes

902
01:21:56,130 --> 01:22:00,510
So we just we would just did a tour in there a couple months ago and it looked

903
01:22:01,150 --> 01:22:04,310
I mean really really good. So I can't tell you right now

904
01:22:04,310 --> 01:22:10,250
I don't want to understand well if you can get out but if you were in there maybe three months ago

905
01:22:10,250 --> 01:22:12,230
That's pretty good full gas

906
01:22:13,070 --> 01:22:15,550
Looked amazing. They were super excited

907
01:22:15,550 --> 01:22:24,590
They had a little bit of a gap of funding that they were trying to solve for, like everybody, but I'll call the executive director and find out, but

908
01:22:24,590 --> 01:22:29,870
That is not a project that I'm concerned about. Okay, that's really good to be amazing. Great.

909
01:22:30,350 --> 01:22:34,870
I'm very excited to hear that. And then I'll be remiss by the ask.

910
01:22:35,730 --> 01:22:37,470
Gursley store update. Good.

911
01:22:40,220 --> 01:22:46,720
I'm very excited to see a good or be on edge with location in June, so very happy with those.

912
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:54,840
are opening day? June 26 we're looking at. Great. Thank you and if I may ask and I know this is

913
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,560
off the topic of this but can we please make sure to it's an invite to the seniors to come

914
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:03,480
set because they're very excited. And I will flag this for later to talk to them best about the

915
01:23:03,480 --> 01:23:09,200
front porch project obviously their difficulties of getting that people to move in because of the

916
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,620
complexities of that location. I do want to move on because I don't want to hold my colleagues hostage

917
01:23:13,620 --> 01:23:18,620
But that is a project I want to discuss with you all because of that aim for project does fail.

918
01:23:20,260 --> 01:23:24,360
I believe that it will be very bad for the court.

919
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:26,400
So I do want to speak to that.

920
01:23:26,420 --> 01:23:29,220
I know we're in a bit of a holding pattern and trying to figure out what to do.

921
01:23:29,940 --> 01:23:33,200
But if we could, if someone on the team could reach out.

922
01:23:33,300 --> 01:23:34,140
So we can speak about that.

923
01:23:34,260 --> 01:23:34,840
It would be very helpful.

924
01:23:35,300 --> 01:23:35,740
Happy to.

925
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:36,680
Thank you.

926
01:23:38,260 --> 01:23:38,640
Thank you.

927
01:23:39,100 --> 01:23:41,020
We've been joined by Councilmember Andrea Boone.

928
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,280
Any other questions coming from colleagues?

929
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,700
I'll see you know, and thank you, Dr. Memphis, thank you everyone for showing up today.

930
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:52,480
I appreciate the quarterly update, so we'll get going with our regular agenda items.

931
01:23:55,540 --> 01:23:57,720
That takes us to section G communications.

932
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:01,160
I don't number one, 25 C, 0068.

933
01:24:01,660 --> 01:24:06,680
A communication from time your career, county clerk to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners,

934
01:24:06,820 --> 01:24:11,420
submitting the appointment of Mr. Jeff Mullivay to serve as a member of the BOT line text

935
01:24:11,420 --> 01:24:15,500
allocation district advisory committee this appointment is for it's time of two years.

936
01:24:17,620 --> 01:24:19,480
This item will need to be held.

937
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:20,960
So I'll make a motion to hold.

938
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,420
I'm going to second by backyard. Please open the boat.

939
01:24:26,810 --> 01:24:27,790
The boat is open.

940
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,140
Will everyone please vote?

941
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,040

1075
01:35:46,030 --> 01:35:50,190

1082

1087
01:37:09,420 --> 01:37:19,380
I think we did send it, but I will, we did update it with the corrected amount, there was one discrepancy, but that might have been on the resolution, not the ordinance.

1088
01:37:19,780 --> 01:37:21,940
Can you speak to that?

1089
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:30,160
I believe the correction you're referencing and concerns these subsequent donation resolution.

1090
01:37:30,380 --> 01:37:35,000
I believe the United States Institute here is likely to add the account numbers.

1091
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:35,940
Absolutely.

1092
01:37:37,180 --> 01:37:38,080
Thank you for that clarification.

1093
01:37:38,500 --> 01:37:39,020
Do we refer?

1094
01:37:39,940 --> 01:37:43,060
So, because we can send this to FVC, depending we receive the substitute.

1095
01:37:46,500 --> 01:37:47,620
So, I'd most do approve.

1096
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:49,640
Thank you all.

1097
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:50,660
Excuse me.

1098
01:37:50,660 --> 01:37:54,680
do we have the set of super twenty five oh thirteen oh six

1099
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:59,120
well i don't have the set of two for a talk about thirteen oh six we do not

1100
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:05,740
okay so so we're gonna we'll approve on condition that we're

1101
01:38:05,740 --> 01:38:09,160
received the substitute at FEC is that the motion

1102
01:38:14,250 --> 01:38:15,370
oh sorry

1103
01:38:16,210 --> 01:38:20,110
it's rubbish i'm sorry i think the paper is

1104
01:38:20,110 --> 01:38:27,770
door referred to FEC and is financed that we'll need to provide the information for the substitute

1105
01:38:28,310 --> 01:38:37,890
So it would be a appropriate to move it forward to FEC where it could away. They need it substituted

1106
01:38:37,890 --> 01:38:43,990
Okay, so the correct motion would be to approve to move forward. Okay

1107
01:38:45,130 --> 01:38:46,070
Thank you

1108
01:38:50,550 --> 01:38:51,970
The vote is up.

1109
01:38:59,420 --> 01:39:00,120
The vote is close.

1110
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:01,400
780 nice, decided.

1111
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:01,900
It was favorable.

1112
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:03,860
And it will move on to FEC tomorrow.

1113
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:07,900
Item number 18, 25, 013, 08.

1114
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:10,200
In ordinance by council member Michael Gillian Bines,

1115
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,180
we provide the second amendment to ordinance 25, 01138,

1116
01:39:14,260 --> 01:39:17,140
which originally authorized the city of Atlanta to donate funds

1117
01:39:17,140 --> 01:39:21,320
in and amount not to exceed $12,000 in zero cents.

1118
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:23,360
Each to East Atlanta Business Association,

1119
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:29,340
a little five points business association with in Merchants Coalition, Virginia Highland District

1120
01:39:29,340 --> 01:39:34,580
Association and Sweet Robin Works in which authorized the mayor or his design needs to execute

1121
01:39:34,580 --> 01:39:39,540
corresponding agreements therewith for terms of 12 months to support and encourage participation

1122
01:39:39,540 --> 01:39:44,900
in the Atlanta Main Street program in which was a men bid person wants to order in

1123
01:39:44,900 --> 01:39:50,640
$25.026 to remove starting organizations on authorized to receive donations under charter

1124
01:39:50,640 --> 01:40:00,440
Section six dash 306 and to redirect the donation intended for the little five points business association to the little five points cultural district

1125
01:40:00,440 --> 01:40:08,040
So redirect the donations intended for East Atlanta business association and West and merchants coalition to suite up and works and further purposes

1126
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:10,920
Thank you

1127
01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:12,660
Councilman Buckler. Thank you

1128
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:20,220
First I wanted to thank Councilman Bonford working with me and it and I had some concerns about the paper and I'm

1129
01:40:20,220 --> 01:40:25,220
should have him as the author kind of taking the time to work through it with me.

1130
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:31,880
I understand, again, that legal flag, the issues with gratuity, so we have to have these

1131
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:34,820
go to 501C3s, and that this is meant to correct that.

1132
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:42,520
I would not be properly servicing my district if I did not highlight concerns I have.

1133
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:45,980
I had led this last time around Main Street.

1134
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:53,080
There are agencies that are being proposed that have not been making sure money makes it into

1135
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:53,640
the community.

1136
01:40:54,540 --> 01:40:58,520
I also, it's my understanding that the money is being taken from the East Line of Business

1137
01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:05,360
Association and the West End Merchants Coalition and that money instead of finding, it was

1138
01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:10,740
my understanding that we were going to help those agencies find a way to get that money

1139
01:41:10,740 --> 01:41:16,540
to rectify the issues so they could get that $12,000 by identifying 501C3's or at least helping

1140
01:41:16,540 --> 01:41:19,860
them through the process. May I ask what the plan is there now?

1141
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:25,460
Absolutely. Jay Matthews, Department of the City Planning Office Housing Community Development,

1142
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:33,340
Neighborhood Economic Development. So yeah, so sweet, Auburn stepped up as a cohort of the Ministry

1143
01:41:33,340 --> 01:41:38,640
to be the fiscal agent. We did, because I'll be going, we found that to be the most streamlined

1144
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:44,880
we are path to get the funds to both East Atlanta, business association, and the West

1145
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:45,820
in Merchett's Coalition.

1146
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:52,520
He set up a sweet office set up to do that before, and the understanding was that it would

1147
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:57,040
be a smoother process for us to get the funds to support as quickly as possible as these

1148
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:59,900
FY-25 funds for our ministry districts.

1149
01:42:00,340 --> 01:42:00,820
Understood.

1150
01:42:02,100 --> 01:42:04,480
And I get why that is the best path forward.

1151
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:08,240
There have been issues with this agency in the past, actually, partying with dollars.

1152
01:42:08,740 --> 01:42:11,240
I have major concerns about them being the fiscal agent.

1153
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:16,460
I have had enough issues getting them to be of money in their own community, and this

1154
01:42:16,460 --> 01:42:22,520
is an agency that has over $1 million in their bank account, and is being awarded this money.

1155
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:24,440
This is not turning out into the community.

1156
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:28,280
Is there a way for us to hold the $12,000 for him?

1157
01:42:28,420 --> 01:42:30,240
I'm fine with the addition with them.

1158
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:36,380
I'm fine with sweet auto and dispensing the $24,000 to the $12,000 each to the other two agencies.

1159
01:42:36,700 --> 01:42:38,600
I am not okay with them receiving their dollars.

1160
01:42:38,980 --> 01:42:43,100
So if that can be held because DCP was supposed to work, I would believe that we were supposed

1161
01:42:43,100 --> 01:42:47,300
to work through making sure that somewhere in the process they would be tied and required

1162
01:42:47,300 --> 01:42:51,940
to give those dollars because they're does seem to be a lapse in understanding you all are

1163
01:42:51,940 --> 01:42:53,680
doing your jobs remarkably.

1164
01:42:54,080 --> 01:43:00,220
And so it is my job to let you all know that while I know that their examples and their

1165
01:43:00,220 --> 01:43:05,660
productive relationships on the ground level, on boots on the ground in the weeds, there are

1166
01:43:05,660 --> 01:43:12,120
great issues getting those funds into the community for beautification efforts. And for other

1167
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:16,100
things that are coming out requests that really should fall under their responsibilities and

1168
01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:20,800
adjustism happening. So I would either motion to hold or if there's a way Mr. Robinson

1169
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:27,640
is it possible to remove the $12,000 of that agency and allow them to take the $24,000

1170
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:35,600
to give? Does that make sense? I'm seeing if we can separate the donations. Because this

1171
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:39,680
was a concern and my understanding was that we were going to have a solution before

1172
01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:42,740
additional funds were read in for this paper.

1173
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:55,920
The paper can be amended or substituted to remove any donations listed as possible. I'm not

1174
01:43:55,920 --> 01:44:02,000
quite following what specific change you would like, but I'm not doing anything that could be done.

1175
01:44:02,340 --> 01:44:08,600
The 12, I am asking that we remove the $12,000 for the fiscal agent, but allow them to

1176
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:14,220
dispense the $2,000 donations to easily in a business association and Western, Western

1177
01:44:14,220 --> 01:44:22,060
merchant school. I understand, my apologies, we cannot direct the 501C3 to provide our donation

1178
01:44:22,060 --> 01:44:32,260
to business association. The underlying issue is that we are not permitted to provide our funds

1179
01:44:32,260 --> 01:44:39,400
through donation to business association. So we can't tell the fiscal agent that they have

1180
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:52,040
to give it to the business association. If it's there and I will defer to DCP concerning. But what I

1181
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:59,760
as to donate funds to a proper 501c3 in lieu of the businesses.

1182
01:45:02,620 --> 01:45:17,640
So we cannot circumvent the issue by directing the 501C3, which is a proper recipient, to give it to the improper recipient.

1183
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:26,700
And so what you're saying is even though this is being read in and we're asking them that they said they're going to be the fiscal agent to donate to these other two agencies

1184
01:45:26,700 --> 01:45:29,640
There's nothing that we can do to require them to do that

1185
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:36,840
Yes, I cannot speak to what's we at all more works is saying how they will

1186
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:43,680
But we have to utilize the fund. I cannot speak of that. What I can say is we cannot tell them

1187
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:51,100
Okay, that they must give the money to whom is an improper recipient. You know our donations got it. Thank you

1188
01:45:51,100 --> 01:45:53,580
So again that highlights further my concerns and so

1189
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:57,000
I'm gonna have to motion to hold this because

1190
01:45:57,980 --> 01:46:02,720
I still have serious concerns and questions that I raised last time that's still not been answered

1191
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:12,900
With respect to DCP, I know you have to move these things, but I am good conscience and good faith cannot allow this to move forward until we rectify those issues, so I will motion to hold.

1192
01:46:14,900 --> 01:46:15,940
May I ask a question?

1193
01:46:16,740 --> 01:46:19,360
I would absolutely prefer to use different physical agents.

1194
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:21,860
I would absolutely prefer to use a different physical agent.

1195
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:30,220
We can ask either another mainstream district or they have partnering 501c3s that are associated with the neighborhoods.

1196
01:46:30,900 --> 01:46:31,260
Thank you.

1197
01:46:31,260 --> 01:46:33,740
If you can find another fiscal agent, I'd be much,

1198
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:36,660
hey, we'll leave you at a lot of my concerns.

1199
01:46:38,060 --> 01:46:39,940
Okay, to move the paper forward on condition,

1200
01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:41,020
we do that by Monday.

1201
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:42,820
Absolutely, thank you.

1202
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:47,120
Second, second, I do want to make it very, very clear, though.

1203
01:46:48,100 --> 01:46:49,700
Actually, I'm going to vote no,

1204
01:46:49,700 --> 01:46:51,140
so we pulled this off of consent

1205
01:46:51,540 --> 01:46:55,100
so that we make sure that that is the case come Monday.

1206
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:56,600
So that we have it off of consent agenda

1207
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:58,360
so I can address it when it comes back to committee.

1208
01:46:58,780 --> 01:46:59,800
And I do want to thank you all

1209
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,080
because you have been working on this

1210
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:03,660
And I know your press, and you have so many other things to do.

1211
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:08,960
This is by no means, and by no means directed at DCP or the work you'll have done.

1212
01:47:09,060 --> 01:47:10,080
I'm very grateful for you.

1213
01:47:10,340 --> 01:47:14,080
I just have concerns about the agency, and I'm trying to do my due diligence, and I appreciate

1214
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:14,640
you.

1215
01:47:15,060 --> 01:47:15,520
Thank you.

1216
01:47:15,820 --> 01:47:16,760
So, seconding.

1217
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:17,500
Or, no.

1218
01:47:17,620 --> 01:47:18,640
I just thought it wasn't going to do that.

1219
01:47:18,740 --> 01:47:19,700
So, someone else needs a second.

1220
01:47:19,940 --> 01:47:20,140
Let's do it.

1221
01:47:20,300 --> 01:47:20,520
Oh, second.

1222
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:21,120
There you go.

1223
01:47:22,740 --> 01:47:23,460
There you go.

1224
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:24,580
Oh, commission.

1225
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:25,940
Which may be important.

1226
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:27,940
The vote is open.

1227
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:29,720
Never mind.

1228
01:47:29,780 --> 01:47:31,060
I can vote yes, because it won't be on.

1229
01:47:31,060 --> 01:47:33,200
consent because it's being moved for it on

1230
01:47:33,200 --> 01:47:35,540
condition. So I will do that.

1231
01:47:41,830 --> 01:47:43,310
The vote is closed. 7A is the

1232
01:47:43,310 --> 01:47:45,090
nice. This item is favorable on condition.

1233
01:47:47,340 --> 01:47:49,540
That takes us to item number 19.

1234
01:47:51,040 --> 01:47:53,640
25 vote, 13, 13, and ordinance by

1235
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:54,940
council member Marcy Carr, your

1236
01:47:54,940 --> 01:47:56,460
overstreet to amend the city of

1237
01:47:56,460 --> 01:47:58,980
Elance Dakota ordinances at chapter 54,

01:48:02,700 --> 01:48:04,460

affordable housing requirements for

1241
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:09,180
to please subsidize most of our family residential properties.

1242
01:48:11,900 --> 01:48:17,780
Thank you. Do we have somewhere from just part of the planning that I want to speak to this legislation?

1243
01:48:28,260 --> 01:48:29,880
I can make a motion to hold.

1244
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:33,360
I can make a motion to hold.

1245
01:48:33,820 --> 01:48:40,440
I was not prepared to speak on this but I did it like what's happening if anybody has a planning department.

1246
01:48:42,540 --> 01:48:44,760
But I'll just go ahead and make a motion to hold.

1247
01:48:44,900 --> 01:48:47,180
So we have a motion to hold. We have a second by council member.

1248
01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:49,640
Norwood, please open the

1249
01:48:52,770 --> 01:48:52,770
vote.

1250
01:48:52,950 --> 01:48:53,890
The vote is open.

1251
01:48:57,090 --> 01:48:57,850
The vote is closed.

1252
01:48:58,010 --> 01:49:00,370
78 is the United States item is held in committee.

1253
01:49:01,070 --> 01:49:03,410

Dr. McCumich Navos, good afternoon.

1366
01:58:52,880 --> 01:58:56,700
Good afternoon. Mr. Chair and members of the council. Thank you, Jasmine for reading all of that.

1367
01:58:56,860 --> 01:59:00,900
I really appreciate that. Thanks for taking these as a block. All of these contracts have to

1368
01:59:00,900 --> 01:59:05,800
with afterschool services, if one contract, the reason we're divided into three,

1369
01:59:06,540 --> 01:59:09,060
four of the vendors, their contracts come do in the fall.

1370
01:59:09,240 --> 01:59:10,060
That's the first one.

1371
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:11,900
Four of them come do the summer.

1372
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:15,440
That's the second one and two of them come do in June.

1373
01:59:15,940 --> 01:59:19,440
And so it was decided it was better to keep them based on their contract date.

1374
01:59:19,580 --> 01:59:21,740
But it's all for afterschool programming services.

1375
01:59:21,940 --> 01:59:25,520
We have put over 2,000 children and teens in our afterschool program.

1376
01:59:25,940 --> 01:59:28,620

01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:50,720
So these contracts allow us to do things like tutorial, technology, stem, steam, arts and crafts and dance and athletic events through our after school program.

1412
02:02:49,790 --> 02:02:50,950
Thank you, customer Norwick.

Okay, the vote is close, 7 days, 0 days, that item is a

1430
02:04:03,350 --> 02:04:08,390
minty. Okay, we have the amended legislation on the floor, Councilman moved back there.

1431
02:04:10,660 --> 02:04:15,900
Yeah, I wanted to give my chief policy officer an opportunity to come up and speak to this

1432
02:04:15,900 --> 02:04:21,540
paper, but the general, the greater detail, but the general piece is, is that this was

1433
02:04:21,540 --> 02:04:27,320
worked on for more than a year, law, thing, law, misclayton, and Mr. Robinson guided us through

1434
02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:32,900
this beautifully, really appreciative to UDC preservation community and others for this

1435
02:04:32,900 --> 02:04:40,540
neutral cost, this cost, neutral change that will, when we reach 80% coverage lower the

1436
02:04:40,540 --> 02:04:46,140
city's heat by two and a half degrees. So, I'll allow Ms. Finale to come and speak further.

1437
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:48,360
Good afternoon.

1438
02:04:48,660 --> 02:04:49,240
Thank you.

1439
02:04:49,500 --> 02:04:51,300
Alex Finnell, Council Member Bacteri's office.

1440
02:04:51,660 --> 02:04:58,120
I think the member summarized it beautifully, but this paper essentially creates a new roof

1441
02:04:58,120 --> 02:05:03,320
reflectancy standard, which simply put requires lighter roofs in most places.

1442
02:05:04,400 --> 02:05:10,160
Current, under this proposed standards, all tile roofs and metal roofs already meet the standard,

1443
02:05:10,160 --> 02:05:17,500
And as for asphalt roofing, which is the most common we use material, lighter roofs would

1444
02:05:17,500 --> 02:05:21,940
be preferred, but they're also materials that are available below the average asphalt roofing

1445
02:05:21,940 --> 02:05:24,660
cost, which would comply in darker colors.

1446
02:05:25,340 --> 02:05:31,760
And as the council member said that this would, once we reach 80% compliance, lower the city's

1447
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:37,140
maximum temperature in the summer at two and a half degrees at 50% compliance, one and a half

1448
02:05:37,140 --> 02:05:42,160
degrees and also I think important to note, especially for this committee, as we're considering

1449
02:05:42,160 --> 02:05:48,320
our most vulnerable residents here in the city of Atlanta, a compliant home will see an

1450
02:05:48,320 --> 02:05:56,080
average of four to five percent savings annually in HVAC and energy costs, so really win

1451
02:05:56,080 --> 02:06:01,740
win for the city and for individual homeowners as well. And happy if there are any other questions.

1452
02:06:04,270 --> 02:06:08,890
Thank you. And as we said, Head Island is the leading cause of displacement.

1453
02:06:11,090 --> 02:06:13,890
For our seniors, our renters and our most vulnerable populations.

1454
02:06:16,010 --> 02:06:25,450
So I'm greatly appreciative to my team and to everybody who worked on this a lot of a lot of time and effort was put into this. So I would like to motion to approve.

1455
02:06:34,740 --> 02:06:35,220
The

1456
02:06:39,350 --> 02:06:40,530
vote is open,

1457
02:06:49,970 --> 02:06:52,410
the vote is closed, six shades, the United States item is favorable

1458
02:06:52,410 --> 02:07:03,410
as amended, that takes us to section AO, papers held in committee, item number 42, 2406191,

1459
02:07:03,650 --> 02:07:07,630
an ordinance by council member Michael Julian Bond, as substituted by community development,

1460
02:07:07,630 --> 02:07:13,510
here in my services committee to amend the Atlanta City Co. Part 2 chapter 158 article 2

1461
02:07:14,050 --> 02:07:18,610
to adopt a new tree protection ordinance for the city of Atlanta and for the purposes.

1462
02:07:49,910 --> 02:07:53,130
So we have no further legislative items than we are, Jim.
