I'm the CHAIRMAN Of the anson

148
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:08,998
county board of commissioners.

149
00:06:08,998 --> 00:06:09,232
Um, I call it a neighboring

150
00:06:09,232 --> 00:06:10,433
county.

151
00:06:10,433 --> 00:06:10,767
we're just a few miles east of

152
00:06:10,767 --> 00:06:12,301
here.

153
00:06:12,301 --> 00:06:13,690
But, uh, again, I appreciate

154
00:06:13,690 --> 00:06:13,302
you letting me, uh, speak

155
00:06:13,302 --> 00:06:15,302
tonight.

156
00:06:16,373 --> 00:06:17,508
I just want to address a, um,

157
00:06:17,508 --> 00:06:19,409
situation that we had in nancy

158
00:06:19,409 --> 00:06:22,379
county back on JULY the 7th.

159
00:06:22,379 --> 00:06:24,114
Uh, ac county experienced a

160
00:06:24,114 --> 00:06:25,849
countywide water system loss.

161
00:06:25,849 --> 00:06:26,950
So we had a complete

162
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:28,510
depressurization of our water

163
00:06:28,510 --> 00:06:28,251
system across the entire county

164
00:06:28,251 --> 00:06:30,120
.

165
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,421
95% of our citizens were

166
00:06:31,421 --> 00:06:31,754
without drinkable water at that

167
00:06:31,754 --> 00:06:33,754
time.

168
00:06:34,391 --> 00:06:36,627
Um, the next couple days after

169
00:06:36,627 --> 00:06:38,620
that line break, our focus was

170
00:06:38,620 --> 00:06:39,496
to restore water service for

171
00:06:39,496 --> 00:06:40,931
the basic principle of fire

172
00:06:40,931 --> 00:06:41,265
protection to all residents and

173
00:06:41,265 --> 00:06:43,265
businesses.

174
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,369
Once that was achieved, our

175
00:06:45,369 --> 00:06:46,669
focus then became on restoring

176
00:06:46,669 --> 00:06:47,938
quality drinking water to all

177
00:06:47,938 --> 00:06:48,271
the citizens of our district or

178
00:06:48,271 --> 00:06:50,271
our county.

179
00:06:50,774 --> 00:06:53,100
Um during that time it became

180
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:54,278
apparent that our utility staff

181
00:06:54,278 --> 00:06:55,112
was going to need some help and

182
00:06:55,112 --> 00:06:56,981
getting that restored.

183
00:06:56,981 --> 00:06:58,182
So we began to reach out to our

184
00:06:58,182 --> 00:06:59,617
neighboring municipalities,

185
00:06:59,617 --> 00:07:00,751
neighboring counties and the

186
00:07:00,751 --> 00:07:00,951
city of charlotte being one of

187
00:07:00,951 --> 00:07:02,951
those.

188
00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:04,421
Um, I'm here tonight to tell

189
00:07:04,421 --> 00:07:05,856
you thank you for the

190
00:07:05,856 --> 00:07:07,591
assistance that you provided to

191
00:07:07,591 --> 00:07:10,591
our county during that time.

192
00:07:11,496 --> 00:07:11,762
Um, I want to thank the elected

193
00:07:11,762 --> 00:07:13,970
officials.

194
00:07:13,970 --> 00:07:13,297
I want to thank the city staff

195
00:07:13,297 --> 00:07:14,932
.

196
00:07:14,932 --> 00:07:16,670
And most importantly, I want to

197
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:17,340
thank the men and women who had

198
00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:18,602

Economy and angela charles and

her team does an excellent job

428
00:13:36,853 --> 00:13:39,550
of meeting our cap goals.

429
00:13:39,550 --> 00:13:39,389
We have seen that when they

430
00:13:39,389 --> 00:13:40,790

431
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:42,790

phosphorus and nitrogen from

438
00:13:51,435 --> 00:13:52,402

Sustainable economy.

441
00:13:57,740 --> 00:13:58,375
And this is going to result in

442
00:13:58,375 --> 00:14:00,375
almost $2 million.

443
00:14:00,677 --> 00:14:02,546

The passes and we're complete

466
00:14:36,714 --> 00:14:38,882
with the, uh, consent agenda.

467
00:14:38,882 --> 00:14:39,850
And now we move to open forum.

468
00:14:39,850 --> 00:14:41,552

00:14:41,552 --> 00:14:43,154

00:14:43,154 --> 00:14:43,955
joining us and behalf of the

471
00:14:43,955 --> 00:14:45,955
entire city council.

472
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:47,125
I ask that all speakers and

473
00:14:47,125 --> 00:14:48,559
audience members be civil and

474
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:48,893
courteous in their use of

475
00:14:48,893 --> 00:14:50,628
language.

476
00:14:50,628 --> 00:14:52,630
Speakers are encouraged to

477
00:14:52,630 --> 00:14:53,664
address council and should

478
00:14:53,664 --> 00:14:54,298
refrain from responding to

479
00:14:54,298 --> 00:14:55,866
audience members.

480
00:14:55,866 --> 00:14:57,635
Likewise, audience members

481
00:14:57,635 --> 00:14:59,690
should be courteous of each

482
00:14:59,690 --> 00:14:59,870
speaker and not yell out or

483
00:14:59,870 --> 00:15:01,573
interrupt speakers.

484
00:15:01,573 --> 00:15:03,410
We want to ensure that everyone

485
00:15:03,410 --> 00:15:03,374

486
00:15:03,374 --> 00:15:05,374
tonight.

487
00:15:05,543 --> 00:15:06,677
Since there are more than ten

488
00:15:06,677 --> 00:15:08,279
speakers, each speaker will

489
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:08,513
have two minutes to address

490
00:15:08,513 --> 00:15:10,140
council.

491
00:15:10,140 --> 00:15:11,282

00:15:11,282 --> 00:15:13,184

493
00:15:13,184 --> 00:15:14,318

00:15:14,318 --> 00:15:16,320

That's a manila.

And they are.

Friends of, uh, our city

521
00:16:10,410 --> 00:16:12,410
council.

522
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:13,946
I had a very nice speech 24

523
00:16:13,946 --> 00:16:15,946
hours ago.

524
00:16:15,948 --> 00:16:19,548
They wrote for all of you.

525
00:16:19,885 --> 00:16:21,885
But everything changed 24, 24

526
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,489
hours ago when greg marino.

00:16:23,489 --> 00:16:25,489

Uh, and he's the person who

531
00:16:32,632 --> 00:16:34,667
brought sonny's darkness and

532
00:16:34,667 --> 00:16:34,934
hate to our city this past

533
00:16:34,934 --> 00:16:36,934
NOVEMBER.

534
00:16:37,837 --> 00:16:40,237
And and the baker.

535
00:16:40,806 --> 00:16:41,473
I should be back selling cakes

536
00:16:41,473 --> 00:16:42,875

537
00:16:42,875 --> 00:16:45,275
I shouldn't be condemned.

538
00:16:45,545 --> 00:16:45,879
And this person to show up in

539
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:47,879
our city.

540
00:16:50,383 --> 00:16:53,252
I'm here to ask you to be a

541
00:16:53,252 --> 00:16:55,621
third people as ordinary people

542
00:16:55,621 --> 00:16:57,823
are the people who create a

543
00:16:57,823 --> 00:16:58,958
positive upset, a good change

544
00:16:58,958 --> 00:17:00,958
in our society.

545
00:17:02,561 --> 00:17:03,997
And ordinary people are the

546
00:17:03,997 --> 00:17:06,666
ones who live our daily lives.

547
00:17:06,666 --> 00:17:07,467
Our city is full of

548
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:09,467
extraordinary people.

549
00:17:10,136 --> 00:17:11,704

Here here.

594
00:18:55,677 --> 00:18:55,910
Yeah okay.

595

Mhm.

596
00:18:56,144 --> 00:18:58,144
Yes.

597
00:18:58,713 --> 00:18:59,947
>> uh hello council my name is.

598
00:18:59,947 --> 00:19:00,314
Daniel warrior I live in

599
00:19:00,314 --> 00:19:01,415
district two.

600
00:19:01,415 --> 00:19:03,284
During a recent.

601
00:19:03,284 --> 00:19:03,451
conversation that this council

602
00:19:03,451 --> 00:19:04,185
.

603
00:19:04,185 --> 00:19:05,420
>> was having about the.

604
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:06,540
Model cities initiative there.

605
00:19:06,540 --> 00:19:06,455
Are concerns.

606
00:19:06,455 --> 00:19:06,721
>> brought.

607
00:19:06,721 --> 00:19:08,223
Up about.

608
00:19:08,223 --> 00:19:08,623
>> flock cameras and similar

609
00:19:08,623 --> 00:19:10,459
technologies and.

610
00:19:10,459 --> 00:19:11,126
Potential expansion of use of

611
00:19:11,126 --> 00:19:12,427
that technology.

612
00:19:12,427 --> 00:19:13,595
And during that conversation.

613
00:19:13,595 --> 00:19:14,896
Another council member

614
00:19:14,896 --> 00:19:15,530
commented about that and said

615
00:19:15,530 --> 00:19:16,331
the following.

616
00:19:16,331 --> 00:19:17,732
The last.

617
00:19:17,732 --> 00:19:19,167
Portion of what I'll say is

618
00:19:19,167 --> 00:19:19,501
connected to this technology

619
00:19:19,501 --> 00:19:21,690
piece that.

620
00:19:21,690 --> 00:19:21,569
We've talked about because just

621
00:19:21,569 --> 00:19:22,503
a short while.

622
00:19:22,503 --> 00:19:23,906
Ago we approved red.

623
00:19:23,906 --> 00:19:25,207
Light cameras that are going to

624
00:19:25,207 --> 00:19:26,475
track vehicles and other things

625
00:19:26,475 --> 00:19:29,144
that come within its purview.

626
00:19:29,144 --> 00:19:29,745
And we have 621 cameras on

627
00:19:29,745 --> 00:19:30,912
intersections all throughout

628
00:19:30,912 --> 00:19:32,214
the city of charlotte.

629
00:19:32,214 --> 00:19:33,782
The reason this was concerning

630
00:19:33,782 --> 00:19:34,749
to me is because it made me

631
00:19:34,749 --> 00:19:37,252
realize that some members of

632
00:19:37,252 --> 00:19:39,120
this council MAY be

633
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:41,120
catastrophically misinformed

634
00:19:42,124 --> 00:19:42,491
about the issue of surveillance

635
00:19:42,491 --> 00:19:44,491
technology.

636
00:19:44,994 --> 00:19:45,160
This is hugely concerning to

637
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,160
me.

638
00:19:48,297 --> 00:19:49,732
The aclu described what was

639
00:19:49,732 --> 00:19:50,999
going on with flock this way

640
00:19:50,999 --> 00:19:52,734
recently the.

641
00:19:52,734 --> 00:19:54,336
Cloud automatic license plate

642
00:19:54,336 --> 00:19:56,736
reader company flock is

643
00:19:58,274 --> 00:20:00,176
building a dangerous nationwide

644
00:20:00,176 --> 00:20:00,543
mass surveillance

645
00:20:00,543 --> 00:20:02,543
infrastructure.

646
00:20:02,711 --> 00:20:03,679
They go on to say if your

647
00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:05,114
community adopts this

648
00:20:05,114 --> 00:20:06,382
technology you need to know

649
00:20:06,382 --> 00:20:07,816
it's doing more than just

650
00:20:07,816 --> 00:20:09,118
recording what car is driving

651
00:20:09,118 --> 00:20:11,153
where and at what time.

652
00:20:11,153 --> 00:20:13,655
I also would like to follow up

653
00:20:13,655 --> 00:20:15,258
and say that axon is another

654
00:20:15,258 --> 00:20:15,458
company that is doing a similar

655
00:20:15,458 --> 00:20:17,458
thing.

656
00:20:17,794 --> 00:20:19,228
Their technologies are

657
00:20:19,228 --> 00:20:20,530
developing and growing at

658
00:20:20,530 --> 00:20:22,231
breakneck pace.

659
00:20:22,231 --> 00:20:23,666
If this council waits another

660
00:20:23,666 --> 00:20:25,670
year to confront this issue.

661
00:20:25,670 --> 00:20:28,670
It will be too late.

662
00:20:28,203 --> 00:20:30,272
I call upon the council to do

663
00:20:30,272 --> 00:20:31,840
three things ask cmpd about

664
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,310
their current use and planned

665
00:20:33,310 --> 00:20:35,211
use of technologies from flock

666
00:20:35,211 --> 00:20:35,545
,axon and other surveillance

667
00:20:35,545 --> 00:20:37,545
companies.

668
00:20:37,747 --> 00:20:39,315
Gather information about this

669
00:20:39,315 --> 00:20:39,582
topic to ensure you are

670
00:20:39,582 --> 00:20:40,450
educated.

671
00:20:40,450 --> 00:20:40,950
And three.

672
00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:42,785
>> have an.

673
00:20:42,785 --> 00:20:43,753
Open discussion and make

674
00:20:43,753 --> 00:20:45,221
deliberate decisions about

675
00:20:45,221 --> 00:20:46,956
where charlotte is going to

676
00:20:46,956 --> 00:20:47,189
draw the line to protect our

677
00:20:47,189 --> 00:20:49,189
rights.

678
00:20:50,930 --> 00:20:52,328
This is a critical issue and I

679
00:20:52,328 --> 00:20:53,763
urge the council to please

680
00:20:53,763 --> 00:20:54,431
address this issue as soon as

681
00:20:54,431 --> 00:20:56,132
you can.

682
00:20:56,132 --> 00:20:57,434
Thank you very much for your

683
00:20:57,434 --> 00:20:59,102
service to the city and I look

684
00:20:59,102 --> 00:20:59,536

685
00:20:59,536 --> 00:20:59,802
>> thank you.

686
00:20:59,802 --> 00:21:01,802
MR..

687

688
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,600
>> our next speaker.

689
00:21:06,209 --> 00:21:06,542

carney.

691
00:21:10,914 --> 00:21:12,914
Okay.

douglass international.

702
00:21:38,575 --> 00:21:40,575
Airport servicing.

703
00:21:41,544 --> 00:21:42,479
American airlines passengers.

704
00:21:42,479 --> 00:21:43,247
While I'm.

705
00:21:43,247 --> 00:21:45,247
>> trusted to.

706
00:21:45,283 --> 00:21:45,950
Help keep the airport's most

707
00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:47,484
vulnerable passengers safe.

708
00:21:47,484 --> 00:21:48,850
I was recently put.

709
00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:49,453
Into a.

710
00:21:49,453 --> 00:21:50,120
>> situation where I was given

711
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:51,989
the training.

712
00:21:51,989 --> 00:21:52,222
I wasn't given the training I

713
00:21:52,222 --> 00:21:53,590
needed.

714
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:55,759
To do the job safely.

715
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:57,194
I stepped in as a wheelchair

716
00:21:57,194 --> 00:21:57,527
attendant during a staffing

717
00:21:57,527 --> 00:21:58,962
shortage.

718
00:21:58,962 --> 00:22:00,498
And was expected to push two.

719
00:22:00,498 --> 00:22:02,660
Passengers at the same time.

720
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:03,000
I had no help.

721
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,568
No guidance.

722
00:22:04,568 --> 00:22:05,736
Or any idea how I was.

723
00:22:05,736 --> 00:22:05,970
>> going to push them both

724
00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:06,437
through.

725
00:22:06,437 --> 00:22:06,837
>> a.

726
00:22:06,837 --> 00:22:08,380
Crowded airport.

727
00:22:08,380 --> 00:22:08,973
I made one.

728
00:22:08,973 --> 00:22:10,740
Mistake that was a.

729
00:22:10,740 --> 00:22:11,800
Security violation.

730
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,800
Because of that.

731
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:13,510
Mistake I paid a hefty price.

732
00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:15,312
I didn't.

733
00:22:15,312 --> 00:22:15,512
>> know I had to do security

734
00:22:15,512 --> 00:22:17,512
too.

735
00:22:17,515 --> 00:22:19,250
Nobody told us these things.

736
00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:21,786
My airport badge was suspended

737
00:22:21,786 --> 00:22:22,453
for 67 days and it's because I

738
00:22:22,453 --> 00:22:24,453
had poor training.

739
00:22:25,256 --> 00:22:25,590
When charlotte airport security

740
00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:26,524
reinstated.

741
00:22:26,524 --> 00:22:28,524
>> my badge.

742
00:22:29,193 --> 00:22:30,795
They said that my employer

743
00:22:30,795 --> 00:22:32,997
prospect gave me insufficient

744
00:22:32,997 --> 00:22:33,931
training for nearly 70 days.

745
00:22:33,931 --> 00:22:35,500
I went without pay.

746
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,369
My bills powder.

747
00:22:37,369 --> 00:22:38,369
Food was limited and I had to

748
00:22:38,369 --> 00:22:40,371
fight for my life to survive.

749
00:22:40,371 --> 00:22:40,605
Stories like mine happen when

750
00:22:40,605 --> 00:22:41,506
workers.

751
00:22:41,506 --> 00:22:43,506
>> are overworked.

752
00:22:43,675 --> 00:22:45,276
Understaffed and being asked to

753
00:22:45,276 --> 00:22:46,577
fill gaps without proper

754
00:22:46,577 --> 00:22:47,545
training and the support that

755
00:22:47,545 --> 00:22:49,545
we actually need.

756
00:22:49,714 --> 00:22:51,482
And when you add bottom of the

757
00:22:51,482 --> 00:22:52,751
barrel benefits and low pay

758
00:22:52,751 --> 00:22:53,552
that doesn't allow us to

759
00:22:53,552 --> 00:22:55,287
support our families.

760
00:22:55,287 --> 00:22:55,454
You have a recipe for disaster

761
00:22:55,454 --> 00:22:57,454
.

762
00:22:57,823 --> 00:22:58,924
I love my job and helping

763
00:22:58,924 --> 00:23:00,924
people travel safely.

764
00:23:01,293 --> 00:23:01,659
But the airport workers at clt

765
00:23:01,659 --> 00:23:03,659
deserve better.

766
00:23:04,429 --> 00:23:06,829
Mayor herrington charlotte city

767
00:23:06,831 --> 00:23:09,334
council the new airport lease

768
00:23:09,334 --> 00:23:10,200
at clt can change things for

769
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,200
the better.

770
00:23:12,337 --> 00:23:13,939
Give the public 45 days to

771
00:23:13,939 --> 00:23:16,308
review the lease and require

772
00:23:16,308 --> 00:23:17,743
airlines and their contractors

773
00:23:17,743 --> 00:23:19,344
to publicly report their

774
00:23:19,344 --> 00:23:20,779
training and staffing data so

775
00:23:20,779 --> 00:23:21,460
we can improve airport

776
00:23:21,460 --> 00:23:22,547
services.

777
00:23:22,547 --> 00:23:23,949
And stories like mine don't.

778
00:23:23,949 --> 00:23:24,416
Happen again.

779
00:23:24,416 --> 00:23:25,984
Thank you.

780
00:23:25,984 --> 00:23:27,984
Because we've.

Iva will fong.

784
00:23:40,532 --> 00:23:42,932
Next is leslie brown.

785
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:48,405
Next is alisha brown.

786
00:23:51,310 --> 00:23:51,510
Nobody came to chicago for the

787
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:53,510
short.

788
00:24:14,166 --> 00:24:14,767
MR. Brown if you could since I

789
00:24:14,767 --> 00:24:15,835
was going so fast.

790
00:24:15,835 --> 00:24:16,969
Two names if you could state

791
00:24:16,969 --> 00:24:17,203
your names just so we have them

792
00:24:17,203 --> 00:24:19,400
clearly.

793
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:19,839
I'm sorry.

794
00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:20,807
Oh, if you could just.

795
00:24:20,807 --> 00:24:21,508
>> state your names because I

796
00:24:21,508 --> 00:24:21,708
was calling it a bunch of

797
00:24:21,708 --> 00:24:22,609
names.

798
00:24:22,609 --> 00:24:23,109
I want to make sure everybody

799
00:24:23,109 --> 00:24:23,376
knows who's talking.

800
00:24:23,376 --> 00:24:25,376
Very well.

801
00:24:25,445 --> 00:24:25,645
>> um, good evening, mayor and

802
00:24:25,645 --> 00:24:26,479
.

803
00:24:26,479 --> 00:24:27,460
Members of the charlotte.

804
00:24:27,460 --> 00:24:27,981
City council.

805
00:24:27,981 --> 00:24:28,615
I am.

806
00:24:28,615 --> 00:24:30,160
Alicia brown.

807
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,117
I'm the founder and executive.

808
00:24:31,117 --> 00:24:32,510
Director of for the struggle.

809
00:24:32,510 --> 00:24:33,753
And the managing partner.

810
00:24:33,753 --> 00:24:34,120
Of justice and action law

811
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:36,120
center.

812
00:24:36,288 --> 00:24:37,724
Um, I'm speaking tonight

813
00:24:37,724 --> 00:24:38,558
because what we've heard from

814
00:24:38,558 --> 00:24:39,392
the community.

815
00:24:39,392 --> 00:24:41,695
With respect to this.

816
00:24:41,695 --> 00:24:42,529
Curfew is that criminalization

817
00:24:42,529 --> 00:24:43,930
is not the answer.

818
00:24:43,930 --> 00:24:44,631
Resources is in fact.

819
00:24:44,631 --> 00:24:46,631
>> the answer.

820
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,268
And the fact that investing in

821
00:24:48,268 --> 00:24:49,836
resources to alleviate this

822
00:24:49,836 --> 00:24:51,738
problem was not the initial

823
00:24:51,738 --> 00:24:51,938
response is concerning at

824
00:24:51,938 --> 00:24:53,938
least.

825
00:24:54,741 --> 00:24:56,900
Let's be honest.

826
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:57,711
You all have heard.

827
00:24:57,711 --> 00:24:59,780
And we've already acknowledged

828
00:24:59,780 --> 00:25:00,714
that this ordinance will have a

829
00:25:00,714 --> 00:25:01,548
disproportionate impact on

830
00:25:01,548 --> 00:25:03,250
black and brown children.

831
00:25:03,250 --> 00:25:03,583
That is something that we

832
00:25:03,583 --> 00:25:05,318
already know.

833
00:25:05,318 --> 00:25:06,453
We know what's happened in the

834
00:25:06,453 --> 00:25:07,554
past and we know will continue

835
00:25:07,554 --> 00:25:08,188
to happen even.

836
00:25:08,188 --> 00:25:09,957
With this.

837
00:25:09,957 --> 00:25:11,957
Particular ordinance.

838
00:25:13,194 --> 00:25:13,994
What's even more concerning is

839
00:25:13,994 --> 00:25:15,994
criminalizing parents for.

840
00:25:16,830 --> 00:25:17,197
Children engaging in children

841
00:25:17,197 --> 00:25:19,330
activities and.

842
00:25:19,330 --> 00:25:20,834
Children behavior.

843
00:25:20,834 --> 00:25:22,690
We work with parents.

844
00:25:22,690 --> 00:25:23,504
Every single day.

845
00:25:23,504 --> 00:25:25,380
Low income parents.

846
00:25:25,380 --> 00:25:26,440
Struggling every.

847
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,440
Single day.

848
00:25:29,276 --> 00:25:31,345
And the idea of criminalizing a

849
00:25:31,345 --> 00:25:33,800
parent for a child's activity

850
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,480
is not only concerning, but it

851
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,383
shows me that whoever wrote

852
00:25:35,383 --> 00:25:35,983
this ordinance is completely

853
00:25:35,983 --> 00:25:37,983
out of touch.

854
00:25:38,485 --> 00:25:40,220
We do not support a blanket 9

855
00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:41,522
P.M. Curfew as proposed if an

856
00:25:41,522 --> 00:25:41,688
immediate measure is necessary

857
00:25:41,688 --> 00:25:42,656
.

858
00:25:42,656 --> 00:25:44,191
It should be.

859
00:25:44,191 --> 00:25:46,126
Temporary and the attorney in

860
00:25:46,126 --> 00:25:46,593
me needs to say it needs to be.

861
00:25:46,593 --> 00:25:48,593
Narrowly tailored.

862
00:25:50,331 --> 00:25:51,599
And evaluated alongside

863
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:52,100
non-criminal alternatives.

864
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:53,167
After speaking.

865
00:25:53,167 --> 00:25:55,167
With our youth.

866
00:25:56,871 --> 00:25:58,772
Um again, criminalization under

867
00:25:58,772 --> 00:25:59,740
these circumstances is

868
00:25:59,740 --> 00:26:00,107
unrealistic and it's not the

869
00:26:00,107 --> 00:26:01,342
answer.

870
00:26:01,342 --> 00:26:01,675
You've been offered

871
00:26:01,675 --> 00:26:03,675
alternatives.

872
00:26:03,711 --> 00:26:04,678
We've seen the city pay

873
00:26:04,678 --> 00:26:05,180
astronomical amounts for

874
00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:06,481
studies to come.

875
00:26:06,481 --> 00:26:08,481
Up with solutions.

876
00:26:08,783 --> 00:26:10,385
Well this is the time to employ

877
00:26:10,385 --> 00:26:11,652
your community experts in

878
00:26:11,652 --> 00:26:13,221
impacted communities to come.

879
00:26:13,221 --> 00:26:16,230
Up with a real solution.

880
00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:18,226
The scope is far too broad.

881
00:26:18,226 --> 00:26:19,493
This in practice again will

882
00:26:19,493 --> 00:26:21,262
criminalize children who are

883
00:26:21,262 --> 00:26:21,596
not engaging in any criminal

884
00:26:21,596 --> 00:26:23,596
activity.

885
00:26:23,932 --> 00:26:25,367
My problem even further is that

886
00:26:25,367 --> 00:26:26,468
again it will have a

887
00:26:26,468 --> 00:26:26,668
disproportionate impact on

888
00:26:26,668 --> 00:26:27,602
black.

889
00:26:27,602 --> 00:26:29,602
>> and brown children.

890
00:26:29,637 --> 00:26:32,370
Thank you, MISS Brown.

891
00:26:35,576 --> 00:26:37,445
Next speaker is abraham.

892
00:26:37,445 --> 00:26:38,846
Smith.

893
00:26:38,846 --> 00:26:39,247
>> I believe the person after

894
00:26:39,247 --> 00:26:39,580
me is one.

895
00:26:39,580 --> 00:26:40,215
>> of.

896
00:26:40,215 --> 00:26:41,149
Our students to.

897
00:26:41,149 --> 00:26:41,617
Maya jama.

898
00:26:41,617 --> 00:26:43,185
Let's see.

899
00:26:43,185 --> 00:26:45,185
That I.

900
00:26:45,354 --> 00:26:46,321
Oh so it says on a she's

901
00:26:46,321 --> 00:26:46,688
speaking in the place of zone

902
00:26:46,688 --> 00:26:48,557
out.

903
00:26:48,557 --> 00:26:50,125
I know okay.

904
00:26:50,125 --> 00:26:50,358
Good evening.

905
00:26:50,358 --> 00:26:51,760
Sorry.

906
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,560
If you're if we're not signed

907
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:53,280
up we can't allow it.

908
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:53,494
Um.

909
00:26:53,494 --> 00:26:54,128
Apologize.

910
00:26:54,128 --> 00:26:55,697
Okay.

911
00:26:55,697 --> 00:26:57,566
>> thank you.

912
00:26:57,566 --> 00:26:59,566
All right.

913
00:27:00,235 --> 00:27:03,235
>> the next speaker is doctor

914
00:27:03,371 --> 00:27:03,605
reverend doctor janet garner

915
00:27:03,605 --> 00:27:05,605
mullins.

916
00:27:21,690 --> 00:27:23,559
Good evening, MR..

917
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:25,293
Mayor and council members.

918
00:27:25,293 --> 00:27:25,627
I'm here tonight to

919
00:27:25,627 --> 00:27:26,950
respectfully.

920
00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:27,663
Ask you.

921
00:27:27,663 --> 00:27:29,640
>> to stand firm.

922
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:29,765
And maintain.

923
00:27:29,765 --> 00:27:31,765
>> the six.

924
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,200
Vote position opposing the

925
00:27:35,271 --> 00:27:35,605
current I-77 south toll lane

926
00:27:35,605 --> 00:27:37,605
proposal.

927
00:27:38,274 --> 00:27:38,641
This issue is about more than

928
00:27:38,641 --> 00:27:40,443
transportation.

929
00:27:40,443 --> 00:27:42,110
It's about public trust.

930
00:27:42,110 --> 00:27:44,110
Residents attended.

931
00:27:44,847 --> 00:27:46,582
Meetings, submitted comments,

932
00:27:46,582 --> 00:27:47,983
contact elected officials and.

933
00:27:47,983 --> 00:27:49,840
>> made their views known.

934
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,190
After hearing.

935
00:27:50,190 --> 00:27:52,190
>> those concerns.

936
00:27:52,522 --> 00:27:52,889
This council voted to oppose

937
00:27:52,889 --> 00:27:54,889
the project.

938
00:27:55,358 --> 00:27:56,492
The question before you is

939
00:27:56,492 --> 00:27:57,593
simple what.

940
00:27:57,593 --> 00:27:59,593
Is change?

941
00:28:00,963 --> 00:28:01,631
The transportation needs have

942
00:28:01,631 --> 00:28:03,631
not changed.

943
00:28:03,833 --> 00:28:05,401
The concerns raised by

944
00:28:05,401 --> 00:28:06,680
residents have not changed and

945
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,200
the burdens that.

946
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,571
Toll rose.

947
00:28:08,571 --> 00:28:09,720
Place on working families has

948
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,720
not changed.

949
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:13,777
What appears to have changed is

950
00:28:13,777 --> 00:28:16,120
the pressure on local

951
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:16,646
government to revisit decisions

952
00:28:16,646 --> 00:28:17,580
that already.

953
00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:19,148
Reach through.

954
00:28:19,148 --> 00:28:20,649
Public engagement and.

955
00:28:20,649 --> 00:28:21,984
Careful deliberation.

956
00:28:21,984 --> 00:28:24,120
Let me be clear.

957
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:24,453
We all want transportation

958
00:28:24,453 --> 00:28:26,453
improvements.

959
00:28:27,257 --> 00:28:28,910
We want safer roads, reduce

960
00:28:28,910 --> 00:28:30,910
congestion and better.

961
00:28:30,427 --> 00:28:30,627
Mobility throughout our region

962
00:28:30,627 --> 00:28:32,627
.

963
00:28:32,929 --> 00:28:33,129
But working families should not

964
00:28:33,129 --> 00:28:34,530
be.

965
00:28:34,530 --> 00:28:36,930
Asked to pay twice.

966
00:28:37,167 --> 00:28:39,702
Once through their taxes and

967
00:28:39,702 --> 00:28:40,503
again through tolls used on

968
00:28:40,503 --> 00:28:41,604
roads they've already.

969
00:28:41,604 --> 00:28:44,700
Paid for in the beginning.

970
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:44,775
And for some residents.

971
00:28:44,775 --> 00:28:46,775
>> and neighborhoods.

972
00:28:46,943 --> 00:28:48,211
This proposal is.

973
00:28:48,211 --> 00:28:48,545
>> not merely about traffic

974
00:28:48,545 --> 00:28:50,545
patterns.

975
00:28:50,747 --> 00:28:51,715
It's about the potential

976
00:28:51,715 --> 00:28:53,715
disruption that will.

977
00:28:53,917 --> 00:28:54,851
Stablish communities families

978
00:28:54,851 --> 00:28:55,218
losing their homes they've

979
00:28:55,218 --> 00:28:56,620
worked for.

980
00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:58,321
>> for many years.

981
00:28:58,321 --> 00:28:58,521
And sometimes generations to

982
00:28:58,521 --> 00:29:00,521
below.

983
00:29:01,325 --> 00:29:02,920
Charlotte residents deserve

984
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:02,827
transportation solutions that.

985
00:29:02,827 --> 00:29:04,194
>> are affordable.

986
00:29:04,194 --> 00:29:05,596
Transparent.

987
00:29:05,596 --> 00:29:06,297
>> accountable to.

988
00:29:06,297 --> 00:29:08,297
>> the public.

989
00:29:08,465 --> 00:29:09,132
So tonight I urge you to hold

990
00:29:09,132 --> 00:29:11,132
your position.

991
00:29:11,301 --> 00:29:12,135
Continue advocating for

992
00:29:12,135 --> 00:29:13,700
transportation solutions that.

993
00:29:13,700 --> 00:29:14,638
Reflect the needs.

994
00:29:14,638 --> 00:29:15,572
Values and.

995
00:29:15,572 --> 00:29:17,972
Voices of our people.

996
00:29:18,750 --> 00:29:19,644
Because roads can't be rebuilt.

997
00:29:19,644 --> 00:29:21,646
Budgets can be revised.

998
00:29:21,646 --> 00:29:23,800
But once public trust is.

999
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,615
Lost you.

1000
00:29:24,615 --> 00:29:25,150
Can't get it back.

1001
00:29:25,150 --> 00:29:26,250
thank you.

1002
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:28,250
Thank you doctor.

1003
00:29:31,488 --> 00:29:31,688
>> our next speaker is riki

1004
00:29:31,688 --> 00:29:33,688
singh.

1005
00:29:34,659 --> 00:29:36,659
Riki singh.

1006
00:29:36,694 --> 00:29:38,950
All right.

1007
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:41,950
Next speaker is nathan hoffman.

1008
00:29:58,249 --> 00:29:59,650
Good evening.

1009
00:29:59,650 --> 00:30:00,151
>> mayor and members of the

1010
00:30:00,151 --> 00:30:02,151
city council.

1011
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,388
My name is nathan hoffman.

1012
00:30:04,388 --> 00:30:05,356
I'm an uptown resident,

1013
00:30:05,356 --> 00:30:07,892
PRESIDENT Of friends of fourth

1014
00:30:07,892 --> 00:30:09,160
ward and a member of the center

1015
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,290
city safety task force.

1016
00:30:11,290 --> 00:30:11,229
I'm here tonight in support of

1017
00:30:11,229 --> 00:30:12,197
the.

1018
00:30:12,197 --> 00:30:12,631
Youth protection.

1019
00:30:12,631 --> 00:30:14,631
Ordinance.

1020
00:30:15,433 --> 00:30:16,401
>> I understand some of the

1021
00:30:16,401 --> 00:30:16,768
concerns surrounding the

1022
00:30:16,768 --> 00:30:18,169
ordinance.

1023
00:30:18,169 --> 00:30:19,404
A curfew.

1024
00:30:19,404 --> 00:30:21,500
Alone will not solve the

1025
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:21,239
challenges facing our young

1026
00:30:21,239 --> 00:30:23,239
people.

1027
00:30:23,841 --> 00:30:25,900
We absolutely need greater

1028
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:27,409
investment in youth programing

1029
00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:28,180
,mentorship, safe places for

1030
00:30:28,180 --> 00:30:30,180
teens.

1031
00:30:30,182 --> 00:30:32,582
To gather mental health.

1032
00:30:32,684 --> 00:30:34,286
Resources and opportunities for

1033
00:30:34,286 --> 00:30:36,488
young people to thrive.

1034
00:30:36,488 --> 00:30:36,721
But I don't believe we have to

1035
00:30:36,721 --> 00:30:37,756
choose.

1036
00:30:37,756 --> 00:30:39,624
Between these investments.

1037
00:30:39,624 --> 00:30:41,260
And giving cmpd a.

1038
00:30:41,260 --> 00:30:41,226
Reasonable tool to protect

1039
00:30:41,226 --> 00:30:43,226
young.

1040
00:30:43,261 --> 00:30:45,297
People and our community.

1041
00:30:45,297 --> 00:30:47,299
This ordinance creates clear.

1042
00:30:47,299 --> 00:30:49,299
Expectations and importantly.

1043
00:30:50,436 --> 00:30:50,803
Allows officers to intervene

1044
00:30:50,803 --> 00:30:52,672
before.

1045
00:30:52,672 --> 00:30:54,672
>> a situation escalates.

1046
00:30:55,307 --> 00:30:57,209
Not simply after a crime has.

1047
00:30:57,209 --> 00:30:57,676
Occurred or someone has become

1048
00:30:57,676 --> 00:30:59,676
a victim.

1049
00:31:00,645 --> 00:31:02,148
Use properly this should.

1050
00:31:02,148 --> 00:31:02,715
>> not be about criminalizing

1051
00:31:02,715 --> 00:31:04,450
young people.

1052
00:31:04,450 --> 00:31:06,485
It should be an.

1053
00:31:06,485 --> 00:31:08,387
Opportunity to engage them,

1054
00:31:08,387 --> 00:31:08,721
reconnect them with parents and

1055
00:31:08,721 --> 00:31:10,721
guardians.

1056
00:31:10,923 --> 00:31:12,491
Identifies those who MAY need

1057
00:31:12,491 --> 00:31:12,858
additional help and connect

1058
00:31:12,858 --> 00:31:14,126
families with.

1059
00:31:14,126 --> 00:31:16,126
Resources.

1060
00:31:16,128 --> 00:31:17,620
>> as an uptown resident.

1061
00:31:17,620 --> 00:31:18,931
I've seen.

1062
00:31:18,931 --> 00:31:19,297
>> how quickly large

1063
00:31:19,297 --> 00:31:20,366
unsupervised.

1064
00:31:20,366 --> 00:31:21,701
Gatherings can change the

1065
00:31:21,701 --> 00:31:22,635
environment for residents.

1066
00:31:22,635 --> 00:31:24,170
Businesses.

1067
00:31:24,170 --> 00:31:25,605
>> visitors and the.

1068
00:31:25,605 --> 00:31:26,672
Young people themselves.

1069
00:31:26,672 --> 00:31:28,641
This is.

1070
00:31:28,641 --> 00:31:30,209
>> why implementation matters.

1071
00:31:30,209 --> 00:31:32,609
It must be fair.

1072
00:31:33,479 --> 00:31:33,846
Consistent, compassionate and

1073
00:31:33,846 --> 00:31:35,581
accountable.

1074
00:31:35,581 --> 00:31:36,480
Pair this ordinance.

1075
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,884
>> with.

1076
00:31:37,884 --> 00:31:39,319
The visible policing, youth.

1077
00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:40,153
Engagement, community.

1078
00:31:40,153 --> 00:31:41,187
Partnerships.

1079
00:31:41,187 --> 00:31:43,550
>> safe youth.

1080
00:31:43,550 --> 00:31:43,323
Spaces and meaningful

1081
00:31:43,323 --> 00:31:44,957
resources.

1082
00:31:44,957 --> 00:31:47,260
And I believe we create

1083
00:31:47,260 --> 00:31:47,827
something much more powerful

1084
00:31:47,827 --> 00:31:49,595
than a curfew.

1085
00:31:49,595 --> 00:31:51,995
We create a proactive.

1086
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,100
Preventive strategy on behalf

1087
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:54,601
of the residents of uptown and

1088
00:31:54,601 --> 00:31:55,402
all those across.

1089
00:31:55,402 --> 00:31:57,402
>> the city.

1090
00:31:57,437 --> 00:31:59,500
I respectfully ask council to

1091
00:31:59,500 --> 00:31:59,272
support the youth protection

1092
00:31:59,272 --> 00:32:00,140
ordinance.

1093
00:32:00,140 --> 00:32:01,708
Thank you.

1094
00:32:01,708 --> 00:32:04,108
Thank you, MR. Hoffman.

1095
00:32:04,977 --> 00:32:06,579
We will move on to the waiting

1096
00:32:06,579 --> 00:32:07,246
list since we've got several

1097
00:32:07,246 --> 00:32:09,115
spots still open.

1098
00:32:09,115 --> 00:32:09,315
And next first on the waiting

1099
00:32:09,315 --> 00:32:11,160
list.

1100
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:11,250
Next speaker is michael

1101
00:32:11,250 --> 00:32:13,250
mcbride.

1102
00:32:15,589 --> 00:32:16,256
And even more space on the

1103
00:32:16,256 --> 00:32:18,256
waiting list now.

1104
00:32:18,758 --> 00:32:20,758
Uh, nancy cook.

1105
00:32:26,232 --> 00:32:28,232
Bishop omari MAY.

1106
00:32:30,771 --> 00:32:32,771
Jamal snow.

1107
00:32:35,776 --> 00:32:37,776
Queen.

1108
00:32:41,715 --> 00:32:43,715
>> yes.

1109
00:32:48,722 --> 00:32:49,790
Um.

1110
00:32:49,790 --> 00:32:50,224
>> I think he's still coming.

1111
00:32:50,224 --> 00:32:52,224
Because he.

1112
00:32:56,797 --> 00:32:58,797
Mayor council.

1113
00:32:58,966 --> 00:32:59,633
We need to be honest about what

1114
00:32:59,633 --> 00:32:59,833
this ordinance actually will

1115
00:32:59,833 --> 00:33:01,833
do.

1116
00:33:01,835 --> 00:33:02,350
If we already know black and

1117
00:33:02,350 --> 00:33:03,570
brown.

1118
00:33:03,570 --> 00:33:04,739
Youth face disproportionate

1119
00:33:04,739 --> 00:33:06,407
harm during police encounters.

1120
00:33:06,407 --> 00:33:08,175
Why would we pass a policy that

1121
00:33:08,175 --> 00:33:08,342
guarantees even more encounters

1122
00:33:08,342 --> 00:33:09,577
?

1123
00:33:09,577 --> 00:33:10,544
And why criminalize parents

1124
00:33:10,544 --> 00:33:11,679
when the system is already

1125
00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:11,946
stacked against them?

1126
00:33:11,946 --> 00:33:13,647
First.

1127
00:33:13,647 --> 00:33:15,215
>> the curfew increases police

1128
00:33:15,215 --> 00:33:16,183
youth contact especially for

1129
00:33:16,183 --> 00:33:18,583
black and brown teens.

1130
00:33:19,486 --> 00:33:21,886
Charlotte's own data shows 1503

1131
00:33:21,990 --> 00:33:22,357
32 juvenile related incidents

1132
00:33:22,357 --> 00:33:24,357
this year.

1133
00:33:25,326 --> 00:33:26,894
Only 30% happened after 8 P.M..

1134
00:33:26,894 --> 00:33:28,629
So why create a policy that

1135
00:33:28,629 --> 00:33:29,130
affects 100% of teens for 30%

1136
00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:31,130
of the problem?

1137
00:33:31,165 --> 00:33:33,234
Cities like baltimore, chicago

1138
00:33:33,234 --> 00:33:34,502
,minneapolis, nashville,

1139
00:33:34,502 --> 00:33:35,636
raleigh and my hometown of

1140
00:33:35,636 --> 00:33:37,710
fayetteville have already

1141
00:33:37,710 --> 00:33:38,672
learned this lesson curfews

1142
00:33:38,672 --> 00:33:40,575
don't reduce youth crime but

1143
00:33:40,575 --> 00:33:41,843
they do increase police

1144
00:33:41,843 --> 00:33:42,430
interaction and communities of

1145
00:33:42,430 --> 00:33:43,611
color.

1146
00:33:43,611 --> 00:33:44,279
Charlotte cannot afford to

1147
00:33:44,279 --> 00:33:46,147
repeat those mistakes.

1148
00:33:46,147 --> 00:33:48,490
Second, criminalizing parents

1149
00:33:48,490 --> 00:33:48,683
will hit families underneath

1150
00:33:48,683 --> 00:33:50,251
already under strain.

1151
00:33:50,251 --> 00:33:51,686
under the current ordinance,

1152
00:33:51,686 --> 00:33:52,987
parents can already be charged

1153
00:33:52,987 --> 00:33:54,555
with contributing to a

1154
00:33:54,555 --> 00:33:55,289
delinquency of a minor a class

1155
00:33:55,289 --> 00:33:56,490
one misdemeanor.

1156
00:33:56,490 --> 00:33:56,824
We know exactly who will bear

1157
00:33:56,824 --> 00:33:58,227
the brunt.

1158
00:33:58,227 --> 00:34:00,950
Black and brown parents.

1159
00:34:00,950 --> 00:34:01,997
Single parents families already

1160
00:34:01,997 --> 00:34:03,598
struggling economically and

1161
00:34:03,598 --> 00:34:05,667
misdemeanor means fines, courts

1162
00:34:05,667 --> 00:34:07,402
fees MISS Work even jail time

1163
00:34:07,402 --> 00:34:08,236
that destabilizes housing

1164
00:34:08,236 --> 00:34:08,503
employment and family

1165
00:34:08,503 --> 00:34:10,438
structure.

1166
00:34:10,438 --> 00:34:11,272
Criminalizing parents doesn't

1167
00:34:11,272 --> 00:34:13,272
solve root causes.

1168
00:34:13,274 --> 00:34:15,100
It deepens generational harm.

1169
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:15,811
I urge the council to remove

1170
00:34:15,811 --> 00:34:16,745
revise this section.

1171
00:34:16,745 --> 00:34:17,779
Third.

1172
00:34:17,779 --> 00:34:18,113
>> we need alternatives that

1173
00:34:18,113 --> 00:34:19,514
actually work.

1174
00:34:19,514 --> 00:34:20,482
If the goal is safety and

1175
00:34:20,482 --> 00:34:21,917
protection then investment

1176
00:34:21,917 --> 00:34:24,286
strategies with proven impact.

1177
00:34:24,286 --> 00:34:25,554
For example hotspot analysts so

1178
00:34:25,554 --> 00:34:26,988
we know where youth academies

1179
00:34:26,988 --> 00:34:28,590
are happening and can target

1180
00:34:28,590 --> 00:34:30,250
solutions instead of blanket

1181
00:34:30,250 --> 00:34:30,992
curfews from community

1182
00:34:30,992 --> 00:34:31,793
organizations already trusted

1183
00:34:31,793 --> 00:34:33,793
by youth.

1184
00:34:35,564 --> 00:34:36,999
Credible messengers violence

1185
00:34:36,999 --> 00:34:37,332
interrupters neighborhood peace

1186
00:34:37,332 --> 00:34:39,234
teams.

1187
00:34:39,234 --> 00:34:39,868
These models work in baltimore

1188
00:34:39,868 --> 00:34:41,737
in new york chicago.

1189
00:34:41,737 --> 00:34:44,720
Create a youth hotline.

1190
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:45,700
Replace criminal

1191
00:34:45,700 --> 00:34:46,808
criminalization with support

1192
00:34:46,808 --> 00:34:49,208
and provide safety technology

1193
00:34:49,312 --> 00:34:50,579
such as door doorbells motion

1194
00:34:50,579 --> 00:34:52,181
alert sensors for families in

1195
00:34:52,181 --> 00:34:53,149
hotspot areas who need help

1196
00:34:53,149 --> 00:34:53,415
keeping their kids safe in

1197
00:34:53,415 --> 00:34:54,950
light.T.T.

1198
00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:56,850
Charlotte has the talent and

1199
00:34:56,850 --> 00:34:57,686
the organizations in the

1200
00:34:57,686 --> 00:34:59,588
leadership to build something

1201
00:34:59,588 --> 00:34:59,788
real, sustainable and rooted in

1202
00:34:59,788 --> 00:35:00,356
trust.

1203
00:35:00,356 --> 00:35:00,956
>> thank you.

1204
00:35:00,956 --> 00:35:02,956
MR. Snow.

1205
00:35:03,458 --> 00:35:04,560
Next speaker.

1206
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,560
Is brandy williams.

1207
00:35:06,896 --> 00:35:08,765
Thank you for the name.

1208
00:35:08,765 --> 00:35:10,765
Wendy williams.

1209
00:35:10,933 --> 00:35:11,901
Not here.

1210
00:35:11,901 --> 00:35:13,901
Okay.

1211
00:35:14,237 --> 00:35:14,570
>> next speaker is jamia

1212
00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:16,570
pittman.

1213
00:35:16,906 --> 00:35:18,906
Okay.

1214
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:21,310
>> good evening, mayor.

1215
00:35:21,310 --> 00:35:22,311
And members of city council.

1216
00:35:22,311 --> 00:35:23,712
>> my name is DR..

1217
00:35:23,712 --> 00:35:25,148
My opinion I'm a little used

1218
00:35:25,148 --> 00:35:25,815
student and a young person

1219
00:35:25,815 --> 00:35:26,820
connected to the charlotte

1220
00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:27,884
community.

1221
00:35:27,884 --> 00:35:29,452
I do not believe an earlier

1222
00:35:29,452 --> 00:35:30,420
curfew is the best solution.

1223
00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:31,854
Young people gather together

1224
00:35:31,854 --> 00:35:32,488
does not audibly mean we are

1225
00:35:32,488 --> 00:35:33,756
causing trouble.

1226
00:35:33,756 --> 00:35:35,191
Sometimes we are simply

1227
00:35:35,191 --> 00:35:36,459
spending time together after

1228
00:35:36,459 --> 00:35:38,194
school work or an event.

1229
00:35:38,194 --> 00:35:40,196
A curfew could also affect

1230
00:35:40,196 --> 00:35:40,796
jobs, transportation, family

1231
00:35:40,796 --> 00:35:41,932
responsibilities, school

1232
00:35:41,932 --> 00:35:43,333
activities and social lives.

1233
00:35:43,333 --> 00:35:44,634
Young people who are not

1234
00:35:44,634 --> 00:35:46,690
causing trouble should not be

1235
00:35:46,690 --> 00:35:46,403
punished for the actions of

1236
00:35:46,403 --> 00:35:48,403
someone else.

1237
00:35:48,438 --> 00:35:49,539
Instead of focusing mainly on

1238
00:35:49,539 --> 00:35:50,840
enforcement, I am asking the

1239
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,108
city to invest safe places for

1240
00:35:52,108 --> 00:35:54,344
us to go reliable

1241
00:35:54,344 --> 00:35:55,311
transportation mentors pass

1242
00:35:55,311 --> 00:35:56,746
positive activities and a

1243
00:35:56,746 --> 00:35:57,413
trusted adults who will help

1244
00:35:57,413 --> 00:35:59,449
conflict when this begins.

1245
00:35:59,449 --> 00:36:01,185
Having someone who will listen

1246
00:36:01,185 --> 00:36:02,619
to who are listening in a calm

1247
00:36:02,619 --> 00:36:03,420
situation can stop a problem

1248
00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:05,155
before it becomes worse.

1249
00:36:05,155 --> 00:36:06,289
Before making a decision,

1250
00:36:06,289 --> 00:36:07,900
please listen directly to young

1251
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:08,240
people who will be.

1252
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:09,125
Affected if.

1253
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:10,527
>> the curfew is changed.

1254
00:36:10,527 --> 00:36:11,494
Make it temporarily and

1255
00:36:11,494 --> 00:36:12,929
publicly review where they

1256
00:36:12,929 --> 00:36:13,896
actually MAY start with safer

1257
00:36:13,896 --> 00:36:14,130
and whether it is being

1258
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:14,631
applied.

1259
00:36:14,631 --> 00:36:16,366
>> for use.

1260
00:36:16,366 --> 00:36:17,468
Young people are part of this

1261
00:36:17,468 --> 00:36:19,868
community to our experience.

1262
00:36:20,137 --> 00:36:21,271
Opinions should be included in

1263
00:36:21,271 --> 00:36:21,505
decisions about our safety and

1264
00:36:21,505 --> 00:36:22,439
freedom.

1265
00:36:22,439 --> 00:36:24,108
Thank you for listening.

1266
00:36:24,108 --> 00:36:26,108
>> to our police.

1267
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:33,984
Our next speaker is robert

1268
00:36:33,984 --> 00:36:35,984
mccutcheon.

1269
00:36:40,391 --> 00:36:43,193
I'm so many things to hear.

1270
00:36:43,193 --> 00:36:43,561
You have to repeat the name

1271
00:36:43,561 --> 00:36:45,561
made in.

1272
00:36:46,363 --> 00:36:47,497
Music to me.

1273
00:36:47,497 --> 00:36:49,497
>> robert mccutcheon.

1274
00:36:51,969 --> 00:36:52,603
Good evening mayor.

1275
00:36:52,603 --> 00:36:54,338
Herrington and.

1276
00:36:54,338 --> 00:36:54,505
>> fellow city council members

1277
00:36:54,505 --> 00:36:55,373
.

1278
00:36:55,373 --> 00:36:55,673
>> my name is robert

1279
00:36:55,673 --> 00:36:55,973
mccutcheon.

1280
00:36:55,973 --> 00:36:56,507
I have the.

1281
00:36:56,507 --> 00:36:57,441
Privilege of.

1282
00:36:57,441 --> 00:36:58,542
Leading the charlotte.

1283
00:36:58,542 --> 00:36:59,944
Regional business alliance.

1284
00:36:59,944 --> 00:37:00,411
Over the past.

1285
00:37:00,411 --> 00:37:01,112
Several months.

1286
00:37:01,112 --> 00:37:01,946
>> you've heard.

1287
00:37:01,946 --> 00:37:03,480
Many passionate.

1288
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,882
Voices about.

1289
00:37:04,882 --> 00:37:06,450
I-77 south.

1290
00:37:06,450 --> 00:37:08,180
But I want to speak tonight for

1291
00:37:08,180 --> 00:37:08,719
some of the people you.

1292
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,621
>> haven't heard from.

1293
00:37:10,621 --> 00:37:12,657
Because while they MAY not be

1294
00:37:12,657 --> 00:37:14,425
in this room, many of them are

1295
00:37:14,425 --> 00:37:14,626
sitting on I-77 south right now

1296
00:37:14,626 --> 00:37:16,626
.

1297
00:37:16,627 --> 00:37:18,863
They're coming home from work

1298
00:37:18,863 --> 00:37:19,530
picking up their kids, heading

1299
00:37:19,530 --> 00:37:21,930
to an evening shift.

1300
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,467
They wear suits and scrubs and

1301
00:37:23,467 --> 00:37:25,467
steel toed boots.

1302
00:37:26,270 --> 00:37:27,539
They teach our children, stock

1303
00:37:27,539 --> 00:37:28,600
ourselves, build our homes.

1304
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:29,574
Drive our.

1305
00:37:29,574 --> 00:37:32,574
Trucks and serve our meals.

1306
00:37:32,710 --> 00:37:34,145
And they share two hopes spend

1307
00:37:34,145 --> 00:37:36,214
less time in traffic and make

1308
00:37:36,214 --> 00:37:37,381
sure every neighborhood in

1309
00:37:37,381 --> 00:37:38,449
charlotte has the opportunity

1310
00:37:38,449 --> 00:37:40,449
to succeed.

1311
00:37:41,252 --> 00:37:41,452
These are not competing values

1312
00:37:41,452 --> 00:37:43,200
.

1313
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,200
They're charlotte values.

1314
00:37:45,657 --> 00:37:47,426
The debate over I-77 south has

1315
00:37:47,426 --> 00:37:48,393
too often become about winners

1316
00:37:48,393 --> 00:37:50,262
and losers.

1317
00:37:50,262 --> 00:37:51,563
But what if charlotte can do

1318
00:37:51,563 --> 00:37:53,563
something bigger?

1319
00:37:53,565 --> 00:37:54,232
What if we can reduce

1320
00:37:54,232 --> 00:37:56,632
congestion for hundreds of

1321
00:37:56,768 --> 00:37:57,902
thousands of people and

1322
00:37:57,902 --> 00:37:59,470
reconnect communities divided

1323
00:37:59,470 --> 00:38:00,738
for generations?

1324
00:38:00,738 --> 00:38:02,174
What if we can improve mobility

1325
00:38:02,174 --> 00:38:03,776
and bring a meaningful

1326
00:38:03,776 --> 00:38:04,877
investment and opportunity to

1327
00:38:04,877 --> 00:38:06,110
neighborhoods that have waited

1328
00:38:06,110 --> 00:38:08,411
for decades for it?

1329
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,348
This isn't choosing one

1330
00:38:09,348 --> 00:38:11,348
charlotte over another.

1331
00:38:11,350 --> 00:38:11,616
That's choosing all of

1332
00:38:11,616 --> 00:38:13,616
charlotte.

1333
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:15,620
Council you represent the

1334
00:38:15,620 --> 00:38:17,222
people in this room but you

1335
00:38:17,222 --> 00:38:18,657
also represent the parent

1336
00:38:18,657 --> 00:38:19,240
trying to teach daycare before

1337
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,240
it closes.

1338
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,962
The nurse driving home after a

1339
00:38:22,962 --> 00:38:25,164
12 hour shift and the worker

1340
00:38:25,164 --> 00:38:25,497
losing an hour every evening to

1341
00:38:25,497 --> 00:38:27,433
traffic.

1342
00:38:27,433 --> 00:38:29,768
And you represent communities

1343
00:38:29,768 --> 00:38:30,569
that deserve investment

1344
00:38:30,569 --> 00:38:32,437
opportunity and reconnection.

1345
00:38:32,437 --> 00:38:33,872
Their voices matter too.

1346
00:38:33,872 --> 00:38:35,407
History rarely.

1347
00:38:35,407 --> 00:38:37,900
Remembers whether leaders

1348
00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:38,744
choose the safest path.

1349
00:38:38,744 --> 00:38:40,120
History remembers whether

1350
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,747
leaders choose the future.

1351
00:38:41,747 --> 00:38:43,982
let's choose a charlotte that

1352
00:38:43,982 --> 00:38:46,185
moves a charlotte that connects

1353
00:38:46,185 --> 00:38:47,753
a charlotte that invests a

1354
00:38:47,753 --> 00:38:48,887
charlotte that leaves no

1355
00:38:48,887 --> 00:38:50,456
neighborhood behind.

1356
00:38:50,456 --> 00:38:50,989
Thank you very much.

1357
00:38:50,989 --> 00:38:52,910
>> thank you.

1358
00:38:52,910 --> 00:38:54,910
MR. Mccutchen.

1359
00:38:55,995 --> 00:38:56,796
Quiet.

1360

1362
00:38:59,432 --> 00:39:00,400
Next speaker.

1363
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,400
>> is cigar dorothy.

00:39:02,401 --> 00:39:03,502
Soccer.

1365
00:39:03,502 --> 00:39:04,136
>> soccer.

1366
00:39:04,136 --> 00:39:05,710
>> soccer.

1367
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:06,472
Rafi.

1368
00:39:06,472 --> 00:39:07,573
Thank you.

1369
00:39:07,573 --> 00:39:09,573
>> thank you.

1370
00:39:30,530 --> 00:39:30,997
Good evening.

1371
00:39:30,997 --> 00:39:32,980
Mayor.

1372
00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:33,333
Members of council.

1373
00:39:33,333 --> 00:39:34,734
My name is sagar rossi.

1374
00:39:34,734 --> 00:39:35,835
I'm here in.

1375
00:39:35,835 --> 00:39:37,270
Support of regional growth and

1376
00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:37,470
as a resident of district

1377
00:39:37,470 --> 00:39:39,380
seven.

1378
00:39:39,380 --> 00:39:39,973
I'm here in support of moving.

1379
00:39:39,973 --> 00:39:41,374
I-77 forward.

1380
00:39:41,374 --> 00:39:42,475
Three key.

1381
00:39:42,475 --> 00:39:44,343
Things I want to reiterate.

1382
00:39:44,343 --> 00:39:45,111
First, I drive this.

1383
00:39:45,111 --> 00:39:46,790
Corridor every.

1384
00:39:46,790 --> 00:39:47,140
Day to the.

1385
00:39:47,140 --> 00:39:49,140
Airport to south.

1386
00:39:49,490 --> 00:39:49,983
Charlotte into uptown.

1387
00:39:49,983 --> 00:39:51,384
It is.

1388
00:39:51,384 --> 00:39:52,520
Unreliable now and it's not

1389
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,587
getting better.

1390
00:39:53,587 --> 00:39:55,210
I don't think anyone here what

1391
00:39:55,210 --> 00:39:55,956
other would argue otherwise.

1392
00:39:55,956 --> 00:39:56,590
And it's not just.

1393
00:39:56,590 --> 00:39:57,570
My experience.

1394
00:39:57,570 --> 00:39:58,325
This is.

1395
00:39:58,325 --> 00:40:00,694
Honestly one of the most travel

1396
00:40:00,694 --> 00:40:02,429
corridors we've seen in any

1397
00:40:02,429 --> 00:40:03,830
major metro in the in the us.

1398
00:40:03,830 --> 00:40:05,299
It's not meeting the needs

1399
00:40:05,299 --> 00:40:05,933
today and it's not changing

1400
00:40:05,933 --> 00:40:07,933
anytime soon.

1401
00:40:08,268 --> 00:40:09,236
our region is growing and this

1402
00:40:09,236 --> 00:40:09,903
problem only gets worse the

1403
00:40:09,903 --> 00:40:11,400
longer we wait.

1404
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,573
Second.

1405
00:40:12,573 --> 00:40:13,840
>> I know there's been a lot of

1406
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,641
discussion regarding tolls and

1407
00:40:14,641 --> 00:40:16,243
whether they're useful,

1408
00:40:16,243 --> 00:40:16,610
beneficial or helpful and in

1409
00:40:16,610 --> 00:40:17,770
this instance.

1410
00:40:17,770 --> 00:40:18,110
I think.

1411
00:40:18,110 --> 00:40:19,446
>> there's something pretty

1412
00:40:19,446 --> 00:40:19,646
unique about how we're funding

1413
00:40:19,646 --> 00:40:20,130
this.

1414
00:40:20,130 --> 00:40:20,780
>> or.

1415
00:40:20,780 --> 00:40:21,470
How we're funding the

1416
00:40:21,470 --> 00:40:21,448
structure.

1417
00:40:21,448 --> 00:40:22,383
.

1418
00:40:22,383 --> 00:40:23,784
Right now.

1419
00:40:23,784 --> 00:40:25,253
The way tolls are set up, we

1420
00:40:25,253 --> 00:40:26,820
actually get the benefit of

1421
00:40:26,820 --> 00:40:27,721
over 40% of the people paying

1422
00:40:27,721 --> 00:40:27,922
for it coming from out of

1423
00:40:27,922 --> 00:40:29,922
state.

1424
00:40:29,923 --> 00:40:30,591
That's not a tax necessarily on

1425
00:40:30,591 --> 00:40:31,692
our community.

1426
00:40:31,692 --> 00:40:32,459
That means everyone.

1427
00:40:32,459 --> 00:40:34,194
Pays their fair share.

1428
00:40:34,194 --> 00:40:34,595
If this.

1429
00:40:34,595 --> 00:40:35,763
Worked, if.

1430
00:40:35,763 --> 00:40:36,930
>> this were to change to some

1431
00:40:36,930 --> 00:40:38,465
sort of tax funded alternative

1432
00:40:38,465 --> 00:40:38,899
,that means everyone else here

1433
00:40:38,899 --> 00:40:39,367
in this room.

1434
00:40:39,367 --> 00:40:40,134
>> is.

1435
00:40:40,134 --> 00:40:41,269
Paying for it.

1436
00:40:41,269 --> 00:40:42,503
That's a challenge.

1437
00:40:42,503 --> 00:40:43,370
And third.

1438
00:40:43,370 --> 00:40:45,370
I want to.

1439
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:46,340
>> be clear this vote today or

1440
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:48,900
this vote coming up doesn't

1441
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:48,509
really what it does do and what

1442
00:40:48,509 --> 00:40:50,111
it doesn't do.

1443
00:40:50,111 --> 00:40:52,279
It doesn't finalize anything.

1444
00:40:52,279 --> 00:40:52,646
It only keeps our progress

1445
00:40:52,646 --> 00:40:54,646
moving forward.

1446
00:40:54,781 --> 00:40:56,250
We have been talking about

1447
00:40:56,250 --> 00:40:57,986
trying to advance and improve

1448
00:40:57,986 --> 00:40:59,986
77 for over 20 years.

1449
00:41:00,488 --> 00:41:01,322
Now is the time to try to make

1450
00:41:01,322 --> 00:41:01,656
a stand and make something

1451
00:41:01,656 --> 00:41:03,656
happen.

1452
00:41:04,292 --> 00:41:05,193
The work that's been done over

1453
00:41:05,193 --> 00:41:05,593
that time period has been.

1454
00:41:05,593 --> 00:41:06,694
>> really.

1455
00:41:06,694 --> 00:41:07,495
To drive the growth that we're

1456
00:41:07,495 --> 00:41:07,661
living and seeing every single

1457
00:41:07,661 --> 00:41:09,397
day.

1458
00:41:09,397 --> 00:41:10,197
And it's not slowing down so

1459
00:41:10,197 --> 00:41:11,465
let's not stall it.

1460
00:41:11,465 --> 00:41:11,699
Let's advance it and keep

1461
00:41:11,699 --> 00:41:12,990
working.

1462
00:41:12,990 --> 00:41:12,566
Towards it.

1463
00:41:12,566 --> 00:41:14,200
Thank you.

1464
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,402
>> thank you, MR. Rafi.

1465
00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:21,900
Next speaker is jake freeman.

1466
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:23,900
Jake freeman.

1467
00:41:31,180 --> 00:41:31,487
Good evening, MR. Mayor and.

1468
00:41:31,487 --> 00:41:33,487
Council members.

1469
00:41:33,522 --> 00:41:34,857
My name is jake freeman.

1470
00:41:34,857 --> 00:41:35,423
>> I was born and raised in

1471
00:41:35,423 --> 00:41:36,580
charlotte and I'm a.

1472
00:41:36,580 --> 00:41:37,626
Proud graduate.

1473
00:41:37,626 --> 00:41:39,270
Of west charlotte high school.

1474
00:41:39,270 --> 00:41:40,261
You'll see.

1475
00:41:40,261 --> 00:41:42,163
I'm here to speak about the

1476
00:41:42,163 --> 00:41:42,831
proposed 77 toll lane

1477
00:41:42,831 --> 00:41:43,498
improvements that are currently

1478
00:41:43,498 --> 00:41:44,899
on hold.

1479
00:41:44,899 --> 00:41:46,501
I own a property that's being

1480
00:41:46,501 --> 00:41:47,468
directly impacted by the

1481
00:41:47,468 --> 00:41:47,669
proposed improvements being

1482
00:41:47,669 --> 00:41:49,380
made.

1483
00:41:49,380 --> 00:41:50,773
At 77 south.

1484
00:41:50,773 --> 00:41:51,440
We all know that 77 is

1485
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,308
currently broken.

1486
00:41:53,308 --> 00:41:54,576
It's getting worse every day

1487
00:41:54,576 --> 00:41:56,778
and it must be improved.

1488
00:41:56,778 --> 00:41:58,778
However, council's rescinding

1489
00:41:59,314 --> 00:42:00,248
support for this project has

1490
00:42:00,248 --> 00:42:01,416
effectively wiped out the

1491
00:42:01,416 --> 00:42:03,618
marketability of every property

1492
00:42:03,618 --> 00:42:05,200
that will be impacted by 77.

1493
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:05,987
Improvements because the

1494
00:42:05,987 --> 00:42:08,324
project's now on hold.

1495
00:42:08,324 --> 00:42:09,458
No one is willing to purchase

1496
00:42:09,458 --> 00:42:11,360
property that could be subject

1497
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:11,594
to condemnation by ncdot in the

1498
00:42:11,594 --> 00:42:13,594
future.

1499
00:42:14,363 --> 00:42:15,798
Furthermore, I have a loan on

1500
00:42:15,798 --> 00:42:16,765
my property and I'm sure many

1501
00:42:16,765 --> 00:42:19,100
other property owners in the

1502
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:21,370
same situations MAY have loans

1503
00:42:21,370 --> 00:42:22,471
on their property with a

1504
00:42:22,471 --> 00:42:22,838
looming condemnation in front

1505
00:42:22,838 --> 00:42:24,240
of us.

1506
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:25,410
Banks are unwilling to

1507
00:42:25,410 --> 00:42:27,410
refinance properties.

1508
00:42:27,243 --> 00:42:29,312
We are suffering under this

1509
00:42:29,312 --> 00:42:30,880
cloud of condemnation because

1510
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,481
the project was announced then

1511
00:42:32,481 --> 00:42:34,250
the project was approved and

1512
00:42:34,250 --> 00:42:34,583
then the improvement plans and

1513
00:42:34,583 --> 00:42:36,318
subsequent.

1514
00:42:36,318 --> 00:42:38,220
Property condemnations were

1515
00:42:38,220 --> 00:42:39,788
initiated with people like me

1516
00:42:39,788 --> 00:42:40,756
and city council members own

1517
00:42:40,756 --> 00:42:42,525
words you don't want to kill

1518
00:42:42,525 --> 00:42:43,660
the project, you just want to

1519
00:42:43,660 --> 00:42:45,995
change the proposed design.

1520
00:42:45,995 --> 00:42:46,496
But the design is only 10 to

1521
00:42:46,496 --> 00:42:48,496
15% complete.

1522
00:42:49,298 --> 00:42:51,667
The concerns raised about this

1523
00:42:51,667 --> 00:42:53,269
project can be addressed as the

1524
00:42:53,269 --> 00:42:54,870
design progresses through the

1525
00:42:54,870 --> 00:42:56,138
same public process that

1526
00:42:56,138 --> 00:42:57,573
produce caps and stitches and

1527
00:42:57,573 --> 00:42:57,907
community benefits already on

1528
00:42:57,907 --> 00:42:59,907
the table.

1529
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:01,244
By putting this project on

1530
00:43:01,244 --> 00:43:03,244
hold.

1531
00:43:03,580 --> 00:43:04,447
City council members are

1532
00:43:04,447 --> 00:43:05,815
hurting the very communities

1533
00:43:05,815 --> 00:43:06,182
and residents they hope to

1534
00:43:06,182 --> 00:43:07,884
protect.

1535
00:43:07,884 --> 00:43:10,586
There are many property owners

1536
00:43:10,586 --> 00:43:11,387
and homeowners like me who are

1537
00:43:11,387 --> 00:43:13,923
now living and working under

1538
00:43:13,923 --> 00:43:14,891
this cloud of condemnation

1539
00:43:14,891 --> 00:43:16,493
causing us more and more

1540
00:43:16,493 --> 00:43:18,228
financial damage every day

1541
00:43:18,228 --> 00:43:18,595
while we wait for the eventual

1542
00:43:18,595 --> 00:43:20,595
conclusion.

1543
00:43:22,332 --> 00:43:24,234
While you delay, we suffer the

1544
00:43:24,234 --> 00:43:24,601
public with you if you vote to

1545
00:43:24,601 --> 00:43:26,502
move forward.

1546
00:43:26,502 --> 00:43:28,371
A JULY poll of charlottes

1547
00:43:28,371 --> 00:43:29,380
registered voters found that

1548
00:43:29,380 --> 00:43:30,740
52% support.

1549
00:43:30,740 --> 00:43:31,541
Moving ahead with the I-77

1550
00:43:31,541 --> 00:43:33,541
south expansion.

1551
00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:35,145
thank you, MR. Freeman.

1552
00:43:35,145 --> 00:43:35,679
Going into.

1553
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:37,679
>> the.

1554
00:43:39,449 --> 00:43:41,518
Next speaker is damian smith

1555
00:43:41,518 --> 00:43:43,860
followed by robin and felt just

1556
00:43:43,860 --> 00:43:45,860
to be prepared.

1557
00:43:46,256 --> 00:43:48,256
We have socialist.

1558
00:43:52,163 --> 00:43:54,163
Is a constituent.

1559
00:44:01,710 --> 00:44:03,710
Good evening council.

1560
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:04,207
Many of you already know how I

1561
00:44:04,207 --> 00:44:05,308
feel about this.

1562
00:44:05,308 --> 00:44:06,610
You've heard from me plenty

1563
00:44:06,610 --> 00:44:09,100
over the last year.

1564
00:44:09,113 --> 00:44:10,548
Now the fact of the matter is

1565
00:44:10,548 --> 00:44:12,617
is that many of us on the west

1566
00:44:12,617 --> 00:44:14,510
side we share the concerns

1567
00:44:14,510 --> 00:44:15,152
about wanting people to be able

1568
00:44:15,152 --> 00:44:17,354
to get to their homes.

1569
00:44:17,354 --> 00:44:17,688
We share concerns about

1570
00:44:17,688 --> 00:44:19,688
congestion.

1571
00:44:20,824 --> 00:44:22,426
What we've said the entire time

1572
00:44:22,426 --> 00:44:25,262
is is that the solution that

1573
00:44:25,262 --> 00:44:27,799
has been proposed does not work

1574
00:44:27,799 --> 00:44:31,399
and that is supported by the

1575
00:44:31,869 --> 00:44:33,304
data both economic engineering

1576
00:44:33,304 --> 00:44:36,474
and it's been shown for the 80

1577
00:44:36,474 --> 00:44:37,742
plus years that toll lanes and

1578
00:44:37,742 --> 00:44:40,142
highway expansions don't work.

1579
00:44:40,411 --> 00:44:42,411
And conservative publications

1580
00:44:43,247 --> 00:44:45,317
like the economist say that

1581
00:44:45,317 --> 00:44:48,319
they don't work and that they

1582
00:44:48,319 --> 00:44:50,855
are a bad use of public dollars

1583
00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:52,924
even if they are public private

1584
00:44:52,924 --> 00:44:54,959
partnerships that you should

1585
00:44:54,959 --> 00:44:56,727
invest in mass transit and

1586
00:44:56,727 --> 00:44:58,727
alternative transit and

1587
00:44:59,863 --> 00:45:02,263
providing people freedom and

1588
00:45:02,267 --> 00:45:04,803
options of how they get to and

1589
00:45:04,803 --> 00:45:06,838
from their jobs to see their

1590
00:45:06,838 --> 00:45:08,273
friends, to see their family,

1591
00:45:08,273 --> 00:45:08,640
to pick up their children from

1592
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,640
school.

1593
00:45:10,975 --> 00:45:11,209
And maybe here's a brilliant

1594
00:45:11,209 --> 00:45:13,209
thought.

1595
00:45:14,612 --> 00:45:16,981
Allow your kids to be able to

1596
00:45:16,981 --> 00:45:19,351
walk and bike home from school

1597
00:45:19,351 --> 00:45:22,921
or take the bus because we

1598
00:45:22,921 --> 00:45:24,560
provided safe infrastructure

1599
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,424
because that's how most

1600
00:45:26,424 --> 00:45:27,726
children got to and from school

1601
00:45:27,726 --> 00:45:30,126
until the last 30 years.

1602
00:45:32,864 --> 00:45:33,932
So and those investments for

1603
00:45:33,932 --> 00:45:35,932
biking infrastructure and

1604
00:45:36,335 --> 00:45:36,668
things like that have a 10 to

1605
00:45:36,668 --> 00:45:38,668
25% tax.

1606
00:45:39,338 --> 00:45:41,373
Return and by providing

1607
00:45:41,373 --> 00:45:43,442
residents of rock hill and

1608
00:45:43,442 --> 00:45:45,442
providing residents from

1609
00:45:45,811 --> 00:45:47,879
mooresville and from gastonia

1610
00:45:47,879 --> 00:45:50,879
and from the region other

1611
00:45:51,349 --> 00:45:52,617
options than getting into a car

1612
00:45:52,617 --> 00:45:55,170
is what we need.

1613
00:45:55,921 --> 00:45:57,220
It's what's going to actually

1614
00:45:57,220 --> 00:45:57,256
address the needs of the

1615
00:45:57,256 --> 00:45:59,256

1616
00:46:00,492 --> 00:46:01,160

1647
00:46:44,170 --> 00:46:45,104
coming north.

1648
00:46:45,104 --> 00:46:46,740
Were were.

1649
00:46:46,740 --> 00:46:48,808
>> in a in a huge back up as

1650
00:46:48,808 --> 00:46:51,177
you as you reach the south

Clearly I.

1655
00:46:55,148 --> 00:46:55,415
>> think everybody knows

1656
00:46:55,415 --> 00:46:56,116
something.

1657
00:46:56,116 --> 00:46:58,150
Has to be done.

1658
00:46:58,150 --> 00:46:59,850
My request to you is to is to.

1659
00:46:59,850 --> 00:47:00,486
Reconsider your vote.

1660
00:47:00,486 --> 00:47:02,288
Because if.

1661
00:47:02,288 --> 00:47:03,422
>> we do keep this on track, it

1662
00:47:03,422 --> 00:47:03,590
gives an opportunity for a lot

1663
00:47:03,590 --> 00:47:03,990
.

1664
00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:04,925
>> of.

1665
00:47:04,925 --> 00:47:05,759
The concerns that have been

1666
00:47:05,759 --> 00:47:06,426
raised during the course of

1667
00:47:06,426 --> 00:47:08,261
this to be addressed.

1668
00:47:08,261 --> 00:47:09,863
Uh, there's new money

1669
00:47:09,863 --> 00:47:10,530
apparently that uh, could be

1670
00:47:10,530 --> 00:47:12,980
used for benefits.

1671
00:47:12,980 --> 00:47:12,432
There's also mistakes.

1672
00:47:12,432 --> 00:47:13,333
>> that.

1673
00:47:13,333 --> 00:47:14,134
Were made on the northern

1674
00:47:14,134 --> 00:47:15,402
section that that can be.

1675
00:47:15,402 --> 00:47:15,635
Reconsidered for the southern

1676
00:47:15,635 --> 00:47:17,303
section.

1677
00:47:17,303 --> 00:47:19,205
There is there's caps on tolls

1678
00:47:19,205 --> 00:47:20,340
and other other benefits that

1679
00:47:20,340 --> 00:47:20,540
can also be associated with

1680
00:47:20,540 --> 00:47:22,540
that.

1681
00:47:23,343 --> 00:47:24,778
So I ask you to to reconsider

1682
00:47:24,778 --> 00:47:25,879
and and consider moving this

1683
00:47:25,879 --> 00:47:27,948
forward because in the next

1684
00:47:27,948 --> 00:47:28,148
month or so if that if a change

1685
00:47:28,148 --> 00:47:28,615
is.

1686
00:47:28,615 --> 00:47:30,615
Not made.

1687
00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:33,487
Then this will eventually come

1688
00:47:33,487 --> 00:47:35,555
off the state the state uh list

1689
00:47:35,555 --> 00:47:37,290
of plans for projects and if

1690
00:47:37,290 --> 00:47:39,600
that once that happens it could

1691
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:40,327
be a decade or more before we

1692
00:47:40,327 --> 00:47:42,960
can we can go forward with this

1693
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,131
project however it looks.

1694
00:47:44,131 --> 00:47:45,566
So I'm asking you to get folks

1695
00:47:45,566 --> 00:47:46,667
back to the table so that we

1696
00:47:46,667 --> 00:47:47,234
continue to have these.

1697
00:47:47,234 --> 00:47:48,335
>> discussions.

1698
00:47:48,335 --> 00:47:49,937
Uh, because if we don't it will

1699
00:47:49,937 --> 00:47:50,437
be many, many years before this

1700
00:47:50,437 --> 00:47:50,670
can be this.

1701
00:47:50,670 --> 00:47:52,306
can be.

1702
00:47:52,306 --> 00:47:53,140
>> put back on the table so

1703
00:47:53,140 --> 00:47:54,541
it's obvious a problem.

1704
00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:55,642
We've got different ideas on

1705
00:47:55,642 --> 00:47:57,511
how to get to that solution.

1706
00:47:57,511 --> 00:47:58,479
Get back to the table so you

1707
00:47:58,479 --> 00:48:00,248
can get to a solution because

1708
00:48:00,248 --> 00:48:01,820
right now uh that's that's

1709
00:48:01,820 --> 00:48:01,916
going to be a long ways.

1710
00:48:01,916 --> 00:48:03,170
>> off if we don't.

1711
00:48:03,170 --> 00:48:04,485

1712
00:48:04,485 --> 00:48:06,885

Uh, neighborhood that would.

Be drastically.

1741
00:48:50,899 --> 00:48:51,266
Impacted by the I-77 south

project.

1743
00:48:52,330 --> 00:48:53,368
Um.

1744
00:48:53,368 --> 00:48:53,635
>> I think some things to

1745
00:48:53,635 --> 00:48:54,350
consider.

1746
00:48:54,350 --> 00:48:55,136
>> is.

1747
00:48:55,136 --> 00:48:55,603
There's 35 plus homes.

1748
00:48:55,603 --> 00:48:57,138
Um.

1749
00:48:57,138 --> 00:48:58,573
>> that's 35 neighbors.

1750
00:48:58,573 --> 00:48:59,400
Who live in charlotte who.

1751
00:48:59,400 --> 00:48:59,574
aren't sitting.

1752
00:48:59,574 --> 00:49:00,341
>> on.

1753
00:49:00,341 --> 00:49:01,910
I-70 seven every day.

1754
00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:02,109
To get to uptown to get to

1755
00:49:02,109 --> 00:49:03,211
work.

1756
00:49:03,211 --> 00:49:04,746
Um.

1757
00:49:04,746 --> 00:49:06,810
One more is an.

1758
00:49:06,810 --> 00:49:06,215
Overburdened, uh, neighborhood

1759
00:49:06,215 --> 00:49:07,749
.

1760
00:49:07,749 --> 00:49:08,784
Uh, we've been living.

1761
00:49:08,784 --> 00:49:09,885
Next to the pipe boundary and

1762
00:49:09,885 --> 00:49:10,352
we've been living next to this.

1763
00:49:10,352 --> 00:49:12,352
Wonderful thing.

1764
00:49:14,423 --> 00:49:16,191
I 77 um, north carolina widened

1765
00:49:16,191 --> 00:49:17,759
it in 1994.

1766
00:49:17,759 --> 00:49:19,861
Didn't put a nice sound.

1767
00:49:19,861 --> 00:49:20,662
>> wall in for us even though,

1768
00:49:20,662 --> 00:49:21,763
uh, it was required.

1769
00:49:21,763 --> 00:49:22,697
Law says that they.

1770
00:49:22,697 --> 00:49:24,990
Should have.

1771
00:49:24,990 --> 00:49:25,670
As a temporary project.

1772
00:49:25,670 --> 00:49:25,467
We're going to come back to

1773
00:49:25,467 --> 00:49:27,467
this thing soon.

1774
00:49:27,503 --> 00:49:28,904
Um, here we are 30 years later.

1775
00:49:28,904 --> 00:49:30,380
As you guys know, we are still

1776
00:49:30,380 --> 00:49:31,106
talking about this project.

1777
00:49:31,106 --> 00:49:33,106
So, um.

1778
00:49:33,475 --> 00:49:33,642
Really, you know, I think that

1779
00:49:33,642 --> 00:49:35,770
.

1780
00:49:35,770 --> 00:49:35,243
Keeping this project rescinded

1781
00:49:35,243 --> 00:49:35,710
.

1782
00:49:35,710 --> 00:49:37,446
Uh, no.

1783
00:49:37,446 --> 00:49:38,800
MR. Hall was going to disagree

1784
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:39,948
with me on this one.

1785
00:49:39,948 --> 00:49:40,916
Um, well, this is a great

1786
00:49:40,916 --> 00:49:42,510
opportunity to reconnect the

1787
00:49:42,510 --> 00:49:42,952
corridor and I think we should.

1788
00:49:42,952 --> 00:49:43,552
>> take advantage of that.

1789
00:49:43,552 --> 00:49:44,553
And let's.

1790
00:49:44,553 --> 00:49:44,753
>> pull this thing off the

1791
00:49:44,753 --> 00:49:46,455
strip.

1792
00:49:46,455 --> 00:49:48,570
Let's go back to the state with

1793
00:49:48,570 --> 00:49:48,691
our priorities known.

1794
00:49:48,691 --> 00:49:50,691
Understand?

1795
00:49:50,859 --> 00:49:51,827
Uh, council member watlington I

1796
00:49:51,827 --> 00:49:52,661
love your idea about

1797
00:49:52,661 --> 00:49:53,896
independent study.

1798
00:49:53,896 --> 00:49:55,164
Well it's really go back and

1799
00:49:55,164 --> 00:49:56,899
relook at this project.

1800
00:49:56,899 --> 00:49:57,232
What makes this successful for

1801
00:49:57,232 --> 00:49:58,968
charlotte?

1802
00:49:58,968 --> 00:50:00,570
How do we set up our corridor

1803
00:50:00,570 --> 00:50:01,204
to be successful for the next

1804
00:50:01,204 --> 00:50:03,204
50 years?

1805
00:50:03,406 --> 00:50:04,240
Not something that just solves

1806
00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:06,409
a short term problem.

1807
00:50:06,409 --> 00:50:07,977
Let's make this a long term fix

1808
00:50:07,977 --> 00:50:10,450
and let's protect our inner

1809
00:50:10,450 --> 00:50:10,546
city neighborhoods and not

1810
00:50:10,546 --> 00:50:11,647
bulldoze them.

1811
00:50:11,647 --> 00:50:12,748
It's not the 60s.

1812
00:50:12,748 --> 00:50:15,840
It's in the 70s.

1813
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:16,653
We can we should do better.

1814
00:50:16,653 --> 00:50:17,754
We need a better project.

1815
00:50:17,754 --> 00:50:18,254
We need a better partner, uh,

1816
00:50:18,254 --> 00:50:20,254
with the state.

1817
00:50:21,357 --> 00:50:22,292
And I appreciate it.

1818
00:50:22,292 --> 00:50:23,726
Thank you for the time.

1819
00:50:23,726 --> 00:50:25,610
Thank you.

1820
00:50:25,610 --> 00:50:27,461
>> thank you, MR. William.

1821
00:50:32,535 --> 00:50:33,637
I believe our final speaker

1822
00:50:33,637 --> 00:50:34,604
will be connie proctor.

1823
00:50:34,604 --> 00:50:36,600
Uh.

1824
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:36,339
>> good evening, mayor and

1825
00:50:36,339 --> 00:50:37,774
council.

1826
00:50:37,774 --> 00:50:39,943
My name is connie proctor.

1827
00:50:39,943 --> 00:50:40,443
I have spoken to you before and

1828
00:50:40,443 --> 00:50:41,244
asked you to.

1829
00:50:41,244 --> 00:50:42,946
Envision a better city.

1830
00:50:42,946 --> 00:50:43,146
A city where people of all ages

1831
00:50:43,146 --> 00:50:43,513
.

1832
00:50:43,513 --> 00:50:45,114
>> and.

1833
00:50:45,114 --> 00:50:45,348
Abilities have mobility

1834
00:50:45,348 --> 00:50:47,348
choices.

1835
00:50:47,450 --> 00:50:47,817
A city where children and older

1836
00:50:47,817 --> 00:50:49,252
adults.

1837
00:50:49,252 --> 00:50:50,319
Have the autonomous.

1838
00:50:50,319 --> 00:50:51,722
Mobility they.

1839
00:50:51,722 --> 00:50:53,722
Need and deserve.

1840
00:50:53,890 --> 00:50:55,191
Expanding an urban highway is

1841
00:50:55,191 --> 00:50:55,425
not a way to achieve that

1842
00:50:55,425 --> 00:50:57,425
vision.

1843
00:50:57,861 --> 00:50:58,695
Expansion will divert precious

1844
00:50:58,695 --> 00:51:00,864
resources from achieving it.

1845
00:51:00,864 --> 00:51:02,165
We like to talk about how we do

1846
00:51:02,165 --> 00:51:04,501
not want to become atlanta.

1847
00:51:04,501 --> 00:51:05,935
If we add just ten more acres

1848
00:51:05,935 --> 00:51:08,472
of highway right of way within

1849
00:51:08,472 --> 00:51:09,607
a mile of uptown, we will

1850
00:51:09,607 --> 00:51:11,607
overtake atlanta.

1851
00:51:11,642 --> 00:51:13,430
we have been chasing quicker.

1852
00:51:13,430 --> 00:51:14,911
Commutes since the 1950s.

1853
00:51:14,911 --> 00:51:15,879
We have thrown trillions of

1854
00:51:15,879 --> 00:51:17,881
dollars at that problem.

1855
00:51:17,881 --> 00:51:19,916
What do we have to show for it?

1856
00:51:19,916 --> 00:51:20,117
The same average daily commute

1857
00:51:20,117 --> 00:51:22,117
time.

1858
00:51:22,452 --> 00:51:23,587
We live for literally haven't

1859
00:51:23,587 --> 00:51:25,587
saved a second.

1860
00:51:26,900 --> 00:51:27,525
I asked you to envision what

1861
00:51:27,525 --> 00:51:28,659
the general assembly is trying

1862
00:51:28,659 --> 00:51:30,694
to force us to build.

1863
00:51:30,694 --> 00:51:32,563
The year is 2086.

1864
00:51:32,563 --> 00:51:34,798
You were standing in frazier

1865
00:51:34,798 --> 00:51:36,800
park below the I-77 flyover.

1866
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,702
The elevated toll lanes are

1867
00:51:38,702 --> 00:51:40,137
crumbling and they will soon be

1868
00:51:40,137 --> 00:51:41,905
handed back to by the private

1869
00:51:41,905 --> 00:51:42,205
toll company to the public for

1870
00:51:42,205 --> 00:51:44,205
maintenance.

1871
00:51:44,575 --> 00:51:45,876
Doing nothing is literally not

1872
00:51:45,876 --> 00:51:47,110
an option because pieces of the

1873
00:51:47,110 --> 00:51:47,345
lanes are in danger of falling

1874
00:51:47,345 --> 00:51:49,345
off.

1875
00:51:49,513 --> 00:51:50,648
Now the choice must be made

1876
00:51:50,648 --> 00:51:50,848
whether to dismantle or repair

1877
00:51:50,848 --> 00:51:52,848
them.

1878
00:51:54,585 --> 00:51:54,785
You are 10 in 2026 you are now

1879
00:51:54,785 --> 00:51:56,785
70.

1880
00:51:57,121 --> 00:51:58,880
You wonder why anyone thought

1881
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,124
building them was a good idea.

1882
00:52:00,124 --> 00:52:03,940
They never did reduce traffic.

1883
00:52:03,940 --> 00:52:04,229
This is not the future I want

1884
00:52:04,229 --> 00:52:06,397
for either of my children.

1885
00:52:06,397 --> 00:52:07,532
I urge you to stand firm in

1886
00:52:07,532 --> 00:52:09,600
your rejection of this plan

1887
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,350
because not even the full 300

1888
00:52:11,350 --> 00:52:12,470
million in community benefits

1889
00:52:12,470 --> 00:52:13,738
can make up for the damage

1890
00:52:13,738 --> 00:52:15,306
already done to our community.

1891
00:52:15,306 --> 00:52:17,174
I have said it before.

1892
00:52:17,174 --> 00:52:18,910
The only way to solve traffic.

1893
00:52:18,910 --> 00:52:20,178
Is by providing viable

1894
00:52:20,178 --> 00:52:22,178
alternatives to driving.

1895
00:52:22,381 --> 00:52:24,282
Let's work to make those viable

1896
00:52:24,282 --> 00:52:26,350
alternatives possible so we can

1897
00:52:26,350 --> 00:52:26,951
actually reduce traffic.

1898
00:52:26,951 --> 00:52:28,951
>> thank you for.

1899
00:52:32,290 --> 00:52:34,690
Thank you, MISS Proctor.

1900
00:52:36,662 --> 00:52:37,763
That brings to an end our.

1901
00:52:37,763 --> 00:52:38,830
public forum.

1902
00:52:38,830 --> 00:52:41,320
I thank everyone who.

1903
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:42,300
Participated including those

1904
00:52:42,300 --> 00:52:43,735
who had no idea that they would

1905
00:52:43,735 --> 00:52:45,303
actually make it 12 bucks off.

1906
00:52:45,303 --> 00:52:46,871
The waiting list.

1907
00:52:46,871 --> 00:52:48,473
But thanks everyone for

1908
00:52:48,473 --> 00:52:49,641
participating and thanks for

1909
00:52:49,641 --> 00:52:51,142
the audience's attention.

1910
00:52:51,142 --> 00:52:52,910
We're now going to open the

1911
00:52:52,910 --> 00:52:54,813
public hearing on a resolution

1912
00:52:54,813 --> 00:52:55,147
to close a portion of brown

1913
00:52:55,147 --> 00:52:56,882
road.

1914
00:52:56,882 --> 00:52:57,216
MADAM Clerk, do we have any

1915
00:52:57,216 --> 00:52:59,216
speakers?

1916
00:53:00,819 --> 00:53:02,721
Do we have a motion to close

1917
00:53:02,721 --> 00:53:03,989
the public hearing and to adopt

1918
00:53:03,989 --> 00:53:05,757
a resolution and closed a

1919
00:53:05,757 --> 00:53:06,525
portion of brown road?

1920
00:53:06,525 --> 00:53:07,926
Symbol.

1921
00:53:07,926 --> 00:53:09,794
>> is there a second?

1922
00:53:09,794 --> 00:53:10,161
Are there any questions or

1923
00:53:10,161 --> 00:53:12,161
discussion?

1924
00:53:12,197 --> 00:53:14,197
Council member mayfield.

1925
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:15,301
Thank you, MR. Mayor.

1926
00:53:15,301 --> 00:53:17,360
I have.

1927
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:18,637
Said it once before but since

1928
00:53:18,637 --> 00:53:19,705
our manager is joining.

1929
00:53:19,705 --> 00:53:20,172
>> us tonight.

1930
00:53:20,172 --> 00:53:21,140

1934
00:53:24,576 --> 00:53:25,430

Hearing opening.

1939
00:53:30,516 --> 00:53:32,218
As well as an adoption.

1940
00:53:32,218 --> 00:53:34,860
>> of a resolution to close.

1948
00:53:41,727 --> 00:53:42,661

Hearing date.

1953
00:53:48,768 --> 00:53:49,869
Not for us to open a public

1954
00:53:49,869 --> 00:53:52,738
hearing and because no one's

1955
00:53:52,738 --> 00:53:55,738

1956
00:53:56,309 --> 00:53:58,770

Like we're trying to fast track

1966
00:54:07,187 --> 00:54:08,154

00:54:08,154 --> 00:54:09,689
Certain conversations.

1969
00:54:10,657 --> 00:54:11,124
Process of setting.

this particular item?

1980
00:54:23,937 --> 00:54:24,738
I don't want around it because

1981
00:54:24,738 --> 00:54:26,139
we might not know.

1982
00:54:26,139 --> 00:54:26,606
Thank you.

And at this point the committee

1996
00:54:44,891 --> 00:54:45,859
will continue to explore the

1997
00:54:45,859 --> 00:54:46,493
concept and make

1998
00:54:46,493 --> 00:54:46,726
recommendations back to

1999
00:54:46,726 --> 00:54:47,994
council.

2000
00:54:47,994 --> 00:54:48,962
The other thing that.

2001
00:54:48,962 --> 00:54:50,997
>> I would note about um.

2002
00:54:50,997 --> 00:54:51,798

2003
00:54:51,798 --> 00:54:52,980
governs this.

2004
00:54:52,980 --> 00:54:53,199
Uh.

2005

00:54:56,337 --> 00:54:57,671
There is notice by publication

2007
00:54:57,671 --> 00:54:58,706
for four consecutive.

2008
00:54:58,706 --> 00:55:00,706
Weeks ahead.

2009
00:55:01,208 --> 00:55:01,442
Of the item being placed on the

2010
00:55:01,442 --> 00:55:03,442
agenda.

2011
00:55:03,577 --> 00:55:03,777
Uh, and it's by publication and

2012
00:55:03,777 --> 00:55:04,711
.

2013
00:55:04,711 --> 00:55:06,279
In the local newspaper.

2014
00:55:06,279 --> 00:55:08,648
And so just for transparency to

2015
00:55:08,648 --> 00:55:09,750
the public, uh, those notices

2016
00:55:09,750 --> 00:55:11,510
are made available so that

2017
00:55:11,510 --> 00:55:12,180
people can be aware of the

2018
00:55:12,180 --> 00:55:13,621
public hearings that are being

2019
00:55:13,621 --> 00:55:13,954
scheduled for consecutive weeks

2020
00:55:13,954 --> 00:55:15,954
in advance.

2021
00:55:16,290 --> 00:55:17,224
Council member.

2022
00:55:17,224 --> 00:55:17,658

Repeat that?

2025
00:55:19,427 --> 00:55:21,762
I was just going to.

2026
00:55:21,762 --> 00:55:22,696
Say yes.

2027
00:55:22,696 --> 00:55:23,130
You said would.

2028
00:55:23,130 --> 00:55:23,330
>> you.

2029
00:55:23,330 --> 00:55:23,864
Say.

2030
00:55:23,864 --> 00:55:25,432
About four weeks.

2031
00:55:25,432 --> 00:55:26,733
The door is still open so we're

2032
00:55:26,733 --> 00:55:28,135
not able to hear you as clear.

2033
00:55:28,135 --> 00:55:29,269
Sure.

2034
00:55:29,269 --> 00:55:31,239
>> this particular.

2035
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,239
Section this particular.

2036
00:55:33,274 --> 00:55:34,742
Statute requires.

2037
00:55:34,742 --> 00:55:35,777
Publication in the newspaper.

2038
00:55:35,777 --> 00:55:37,777
For consecutive.

2039
00:55:37,812 --> 00:55:38,612
Weeks ahead of it being placed

2040
00:55:38,612 --> 00:55:40,612
on the agenda.

2041
00:55:40,981 --> 00:55:41,782
And so that is another

2042
00:55:41,782 --> 00:55:44,151
opportunity for the public to

2043
00:55:44,151 --> 00:55:45,152
be made aware of the matter

2044
00:55:45,152 --> 00:55:46,220
being on council's.

2045
00:55:46,220 --> 00:55:46,687
Agenda ahead of time.

2046
00:55:46,687 --> 00:55:48,687
So that.

2047
00:55:48,890 --> 00:55:50,890
Council member mayor.

2048
00:55:50,892 --> 00:55:52,660
Oh I was just going to

2049
00:55:52,660 --> 00:55:54,950
acknowledge what the attorney

2050
00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:55,229
said before she said that that.

2051
00:55:55,229 --> 00:55:55,663
>> is something.

2052
00:55:55,663 --> 00:55:57,663
That um.

2053
00:55:57,832 --> 00:56:00,232
The bigger committee chatted

2054
00:56:00,234 --> 00:56:01,502
about today in our meeting and

2055
00:56:01,502 --> 00:56:01,835
will be talking more about in

2056
00:56:01,835 --> 00:56:03,404
SEPTEMBER.

2057
00:56:03,404 --> 00:56:04,538
So thank you for continuing to

2058
00:56:04,538 --> 00:56:05,172
raise that concern so that we

2059
00:56:05,172 --> 00:56:06,608
can address that.

2060
00:56:06,608 --> 00:56:07,843
.

2061
00:56:07,843 --> 00:56:09,843
Council member mayfield.

2062
00:56:10,450 --> 00:56:12,800
Thank you, mayor for a follow

2063
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:12,280
up and I appreciate the fact

2064
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,681
that.

2065
00:56:13,681 --> 00:56:14,783
Bgr are had.

2066
00:56:14,783 --> 00:56:15,317
>> an additional meeting to

2067
00:56:15,317 --> 00:56:17,317
have this discussion.

2068
00:56:19,187 --> 00:56:20,154
I wanted to be very clear that

2069
00:56:20,154 --> 00:56:21,389
what I am suggesting.

2070
00:56:21,389 --> 00:56:24,590
Is that we have a.

2071
00:56:24,590 --> 00:56:24,326
Hearing date separate from the

2072
00:56:24,326 --> 00:56:26,326
decision.

2073
00:56:26,895 --> 00:56:28,330
I don't even know how many

2074
00:56:28,330 --> 00:56:29,931
people actually report actually

2075
00:56:29,931 --> 00:56:31,233
has a subscription to a

2076
00:56:31,233 --> 00:56:31,833
newspaper today.

2077
00:56:31,833 --> 00:56:33,833
So to.

2078
00:56:34,336 --> 00:56:36,710
Say that we.

2079
00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:37,972
Have the information posted in

2080
00:56:37,972 --> 00:56:39,574
the paper is the equivalent of

2081
00:56:39,574 --> 00:56:41,900
someone getting a divorce today

2082
00:56:41,900 --> 00:56:42,111
and putting it into the paper

2083
00:56:42,111 --> 00:56:43,245
they have got to worry about

2084
00:56:43,245 --> 00:56:45,447
that person challenging it.

2085
00:56:45,447 --> 00:56:46,248
So we use social media for

2086
00:56:46,248 --> 00:56:48,248
other things.

2087
00:56:48,750 --> 00:56:50,318
I'm asking for a clear just

2088
00:56:50,318 --> 00:56:51,353
like we have other items where.

2089
00:56:51,353 --> 00:56:52,921
>> we are setting a.

2090
00:56:52,921 --> 00:56:53,855
Hearing date to.

2091
00:56:53,855 --> 00:56:55,855
Just be.

2092
00:56:56,191 --> 00:56:57,759
Consistent, set a hearing date.

2093
00:56:57,759 --> 00:56:59,759
And not just.

2094
00:57:01,530 --> 00:57:03,899
Say well we have listed it in

2095
00:57:03,899 --> 00:57:06,201
newspaper when newspaper is not

2096
00:57:06,201 --> 00:57:08,337
the main form of communication

2097
00:57:08,337 --> 00:57:10,372
for a lot of residents today.

2098
00:57:10,372 --> 00:57:12,740
And we can see that by the.

2099
00:57:12,740 --> 00:57:13,342
Fact that unfortunately we just

2100
00:57:13,342 --> 00:57:15,243
had another one of our local.

2101
00:57:15,243 --> 00:57:17,243
channels closed down.

2102
00:57:19,148 --> 00:57:20,583
So I would just like for us to

2103
00:57:20,583 --> 00:57:22,485
be clear that what I'm asking

2104
00:57:22,485 --> 00:57:25,488
for is a separation of a

2105
00:57:25,488 --> 00:57:27,556
hearing day and then later I

2106
00:57:27,556 --> 00:57:29,124
actual decision on that so that

2107
00:57:29,124 --> 00:57:31,527
those who are able to watch us

2108
00:57:31,527 --> 00:57:32,694
online or attend the process

2109
00:57:32,694 --> 00:57:33,930
also know that this information

2110
00:57:33,930 --> 00:57:34,297
is happening in their

2111
00:57:34,297 --> 00:57:35,365
neighborhoods.

2112
00:57:35,365 --> 00:57:37,365
Council member graham.

2113
00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:40,360
Uh thank you, MR. Mayor.

2114
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:40,703
Um, again um we had that

2115
00:57:40,703 --> 00:57:41,804
conversation today.

2116
00:57:41,804 --> 00:57:43,506
I chair the committee.

2117
00:57:43,506 --> 00:57:46,509
Uh, we look at the wide variety

2118
00:57:46,509 --> 00:57:47,643
of options not wanting to

2119
00:57:47,643 --> 00:57:48,310
debate the committee meeting

2120
00:57:48,310 --> 00:57:50,310
right now.

2121
00:57:50,947 --> 00:57:52,549
Um, but your point has been

2122
00:57:52,549 --> 00:57:54,150
taken and is under

2123
00:57:54,150 --> 00:57:54,784
consideration in terms of how

2124
00:57:54,784 --> 00:57:56,784
we move forward.

2125
00:57:57,453 --> 00:57:58,688
Uh, or if we move forward.

2126
00:57:58,688 --> 00:57:59,823
So it's still up for debate.

2127
00:57:59,823 --> 00:58:01,823
Council member johnson.

2128
00:58:01,824 --> 00:58:03,226
Thank you.

2129
00:58:03,226 --> 00:58:05,226
>> MR. Mayor.

2130
00:58:05,261 --> 00:58:06,996
So this item.

2131
00:58:06,996 --> 00:58:08,265
Went to the committee to

2132
00:58:08,265 --> 00:58:09,366
discuss potential.

2133
00:58:09,366 --> 00:58:10,767
Improvement or.

2134
00:58:10,767 --> 00:58:11,468
Change to the policy.

2135
00:58:11,468 --> 00:58:13,468
>> is that correct?

2136
00:58:13,737 --> 00:58:15,472
So just just to be clear, I

2137
00:58:15,472 --> 00:58:17,540
think the item that went to the

2138
00:58:17,540 --> 00:58:18,975
committee is an overall item,

2139
00:58:18,975 --> 00:58:20,110
not the particular motion

2140
00:58:20,110 --> 00:58:20,310
that's on the table for tonight

2141
00:58:20,310 --> 00:58:20,777
.

2142
00:58:20,777 --> 00:58:22,178
Right.

2143
00:58:22,178 --> 00:58:23,913
There is a it sounds like

2144
00:58:23,913 --> 00:58:26,617
there's a discussion to be had

2145
00:58:26,617 --> 00:58:28,352
in committee about process but

2146
00:58:28,352 --> 00:58:28,718
that's not in the motion that's

2147
00:58:28,718 --> 00:58:30,254
for tonight.

2148
00:58:30,254 --> 00:58:32,155
Just make that clarification.

2149
00:58:32,155 --> 00:58:32,689
So council.

2150
00:58:32,689 --> 00:58:33,230
>> member.

2151
00:58:33,230 --> 00:58:34,424
mayfield you.

2152
00:58:34,424 --> 00:58:35,258
>> brought this up at least.

2153
00:58:35,258 --> 00:58:36,359
2 or.

2154
00:58:36,359 --> 00:58:36,827
>> 3 meetings.

2155
00:58:36,827 --> 00:58:38,940
I would.

2156
00:58:38,940 --> 00:58:39,329
>> think that we would hold.

2157
00:58:39,329 --> 00:58:41,640
Off on.

2158
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:42,499
Moving forward with that

2159
00:58:42,499 --> 00:58:43,300
current process if we're

2160
00:58:43,300 --> 00:58:44,235
debating potential.

2161
00:58:44,235 --> 00:58:46,235
Improvement.

2162
00:58:48,305 --> 00:58:50,305
>> any other discussion?

2163
00:58:51,275 --> 00:58:53,476
I, I again we are looking at

2164
00:58:53,476 --> 00:58:53,810
the process question and

2165
00:58:53,810 --> 00:58:55,810
committee.

2166
00:58:56,179 --> 00:58:57,314
Um one council member brought

2167
00:58:57,314 --> 00:58:59,314
it forward.

2168
00:58:59,649 --> 00:59:01,719
The committee is discussing it

2169
00:59:01,719 --> 00:59:03,754
to see if it's appropriate if

2170
00:59:03,754 --> 00:59:04,255
any changes will will be made

2171
00:59:04,255 --> 00:59:06,157
at all.

2172
00:59:06,157 --> 00:59:07,124
The committee is still

2173
00:59:07,124 --> 00:59:07,758
discussing it so it's still on

2174
00:59:07,758 --> 00:59:08,292
the table.

2175
00:59:08,292 --> 00:59:09,494
>> all right.

2176
00:59:09,494 --> 00:59:10,761
Any council members who have

2177
00:59:10,761 --> 00:59:11,729
not been hurt I just want to

2178
00:59:11,729 --> 00:59:13,300
make sure that there are other

2179
00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:14,464
council members that have been

2180
00:59:14,464 --> 00:59:16,667
heard because I think we're

2181
00:59:16,667 --> 00:59:17,167
sort of debating process

2182
00:59:17,167 --> 00:59:18,269
instead of this.

2183
00:59:18,269 --> 00:59:18,736
Particular motion.

2184
00:59:18,736 --> 00:59:20,138
My question.

2185
00:59:20,138 --> 00:59:21,105
But let me let me come to

2186
00:59:21,105 --> 00:59:22,239
council member mirror and I'll

2187
00:59:22,239 --> 00:59:23,141
come back if there are other

2188
00:59:23,141 --> 00:59:23,474
council members who have not

2189
00:59:23,474 --> 00:59:24,275
been heard.

2190
00:59:24,275 --> 00:59:24,742
Don't to speak.

2191
00:59:24,742 --> 00:59:25,409
Yes.

2192
00:59:25,409 --> 00:59:25,610
>> thank you.

2193
00:59:25,610 --> 00:59:27,478
Mayor.

2194
00:59:27,478 --> 00:59:29,460
Mayor harrington so council

2195
00:59:29,460 --> 00:59:30,981
member johnson, just so that I

2196
00:59:30,981 --> 00:59:33,500
understand your question, why

2197
00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:35,720
are we sticking with the

2198
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:36,688
existing process if the

2199
00:59:36,688 --> 00:59:36,955
conversation is in the bigger

2200
00:59:36,955 --> 00:59:38,289
committee?

2201
00:59:38,289 --> 00:59:41,920
so from what I understood.

2202
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:42,860
From the attorney is that until

2203
00:59:42,860 --> 00:59:44,128
the new process is adopted we

2204
00:59:44,128 --> 00:59:44,796
have to continue with the

2205
00:59:44,796 --> 00:59:45,730
existing process.

2206
00:59:45,730 --> 00:59:46,831
Am I correct?

2207
00:59:46,831 --> 00:59:48,831
That's correct.

2208
00:59:51,502 --> 00:59:52,636
So I know that this is going to

2209
00:59:52,636 --> 00:59:54,206
be coming in front of the

2210
00:59:54,206 --> 00:59:57,750
bigger committee for a follow

2211
00:59:57,750 --> 00:59:58,510
up next month and this month

2212
00:59:58,510 --> 01:00:00,578
the bpr committee had two

2213
01:00:00,578 --> 01:00:00,745
meetings to and this was number

2214
01:00:00,745 --> 01:00:02,480
.

2215
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,215
Second item on our agenda

2216
01:00:04,215 --> 01:00:07,215
tonight to today earlier today.

2217
01:00:07,352 --> 01:00:07,852
They're being prioritized to

2218
01:00:07,852 --> 01:00:09,852
your question.

2219
01:00:10,355 --> 01:00:12,900
Any other council members who

2220
01:00:12,900 --> 01:00:12,925
would like to be heard who have

2221
01:00:12,925 --> 01:00:14,793
not been heard?

2222
01:00:14,793 --> 01:00:16,661
Okay.

2223
01:00:16,661 --> 01:00:19,664
There is a motion and a second

2224
01:00:19,664 --> 01:00:20,298
we've had discussion all in

2225
01:00:20,298 --> 01:00:21,990
favor of the.

2226
01:00:21,990 --> 01:00:22,267
>> point of order.

2227
01:00:22,267 --> 01:00:22,734
That was a follow.

2228
01:00:22,734 --> 01:00:23,680
>> up.

2229
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:23,768
.

2230
01:00:23,768 --> 01:00:24,836
>> point of order.

2231
01:00:24,836 --> 01:00:26,504
Are we.

2232
01:00:26,504 --> 01:00:27,472
>> not able to seek

2233
01:00:27,472 --> 01:00:28,574
clarification or follow up.

2234
01:00:28,574 --> 01:00:29,808
On our question?

2235
01:00:29,808 --> 01:00:31,430
You can.

2236
01:00:31,430 --> 01:00:32,478
>> seek clarification follow up

2237
01:00:32,478 --> 01:00:33,612
on the question but we're still

2238
01:00:33,612 --> 01:00:34,780
going to at some point call the

2239
01:00:34,780 --> 01:00:35,130
question on this particular

2240
01:00:35,130 --> 01:00:37,130
motion.

2241
01:00:37,583 --> 01:00:39,951
So one more round of questions

2242
01:00:39,951 --> 01:00:41,860
on your question about process

2243
01:00:41,860 --> 01:00:41,887
and then we should move on with

2244
01:00:41,887 --> 01:00:43,321
the believe with the motion.

2245
01:00:43,321 --> 01:00:44,389
But if there's a question.

2246
01:00:44,389 --> 01:00:46,389
Thank you.

2247
01:00:46,726 --> 01:00:47,426
>> so the last couple last.

2248
01:00:47,426 --> 01:00:49,328
>> month if.

2249
01:00:49,328 --> 01:00:51,300
I'm correct we deferred.

2250
01:00:51,300 --> 01:00:52,164
Didn't we deferred because we

2251
01:00:52,164 --> 01:00:53,298
there was more than just one

2252
01:00:53,298 --> 01:00:53,699
council member who.

2253
01:00:53,699 --> 01:00:54,300
>> was.

2254
01:00:54,300 --> 01:00:56,300
Concerned about it.

2255
01:00:56,502 --> 01:00:57,770
So is this some process that we

2256
01:00:57,770 --> 01:00:59,671
have to move forward on or was

2257
01:00:59,671 --> 01:01:00,939
this a choice to put this on

2258
01:01:00,939 --> 01:01:03,176
the agenda because if it's if

2259
01:01:03,176 --> 01:01:05,770
it's in the committee and we're

2260
01:01:05,770 --> 01:01:05,278
looking at improving a process

2261
01:01:05,278 --> 01:01:05,912
or.

2262
01:01:05,912 --> 01:01:06,679
Changing a.

2263
01:01:06,679 --> 01:01:06,846
Process.

2264
01:01:06,846 --> 01:01:08,846
.

2265
01:01:09,815 --> 01:01:10,817
I would ask or hope that we

2266
01:01:10,817 --> 01:01:12,818
kind of hold off.

2267
01:01:12,818 --> 01:01:14,190
Until then because.

2268
01:01:14,190 --> 01:01:14,820
>> all we're doing is just

2269
01:01:14,820 --> 01:01:16,689
taking a deeper.

2270
01:01:16,689 --> 01:01:18,757
Hole or doing things opposite

2271
01:01:18,757 --> 01:01:19,910
of what the council is desiring

2272
01:01:19,910 --> 01:01:21,910
to do.

2273
01:01:21,427 --> 01:01:23,290
Is there a motion to defer this

2274
01:01:23,290 --> 01:01:23,830
motion or any other ancillary

2275
01:01:23,830 --> 01:01:24,664
motion to this motion?

2276
01:01:24,664 --> 01:01:25,632
>> I mean I can.

2277
01:01:25,632 --> 01:01:29,680
Make a motion to defer this.

2278
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:29,702
There motion.

2279
01:01:29,702 --> 01:01:30,403
Yes.

2280
01:01:30,403 --> 01:01:31,203
>> thank you.

2281
01:01:31,203 --> 01:01:31,938
>> okay.

2282
01:01:31,938 --> 01:01:32,405
>> so there's.

2283
01:01:32,405 --> 01:01:32,838
>> a motion on.

2284
01:01:32,838 --> 01:01:34,707
>> the.

2285
01:01:34,707 --> 01:01:35,674
Floor I believe the youth

2286
01:01:35,674 --> 01:01:36,800
commission to close the public

2287
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,800
hearing.

2288
01:01:39,146 --> 01:01:40,113
But close the public hearing on

2289
01:01:40,113 --> 01:01:40,447
this and then move to the

2290
01:01:40,447 --> 01:01:40,780
discussion.

2291
01:01:40,780 --> 01:01:42,349
Yes.

2292
01:01:42,349 --> 01:01:42,849
>> is there a motion to close

2293
01:01:42,849 --> 01:01:43,450
the public hearing?

2294
01:01:43,450 --> 01:01:44,384
So you.

2295
01:01:44,384 --> 01:01:45,180
>> have a motion.

2296
01:01:45,180 --> 01:01:47,220
>> you have a second.

2297
01:01:47,220 --> 01:01:47,487
Second we're going to come back

2298
01:01:47,487 --> 01:01:48,788
to have.

2299
01:01:48,788 --> 01:01:48,921
>> a question of clarification

2300
01:01:48,921 --> 01:01:50,790
.

2301
01:01:50,790 --> 01:01:54,930
the way this is presented it is

2302
01:01:54,930 --> 01:01:58,665
presented as a and b as a close

2303
01:01:58,665 --> 01:02:02,135
b is a is to close the public

2304
01:02:02,135 --> 01:02:02,435
hearing b is to adopt the

2305
01:02:02,435 --> 01:02:04,435
resolution.

2306
01:02:05,138 --> 01:02:06,573
I do not understand how we are

2307
01:02:06,573 --> 01:02:08,475
attempting to close the public

2308
01:02:08,475 --> 01:02:10,543
hearing when you still have b

2309
01:02:10,543 --> 01:02:12,278
on this item, which is what

2310
01:02:12,278 --> 01:02:14,480
triggered the entire my

2311
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,448
original question because the

2312
01:02:16,550 --> 01:02:20,150
close the public hearing is by

2313
01:02:20,988 --> 01:02:22,255
default adopting a and b a to

2314
01:02:22,255 --> 01:02:24,458
close the public hearing and b

2315
01:02:24,458 --> 01:02:26,226
to adopt the resolution to

2316
01:02:26,226 --> 01:02:26,459
close the actual portion of the

2317
01:02:26,459 --> 01:02:27,360
street.

2318
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,360
So please clarify.

2319
01:02:29,529 --> 01:02:31,599
>> so we could entertain a

2320
01:02:31,599 --> 01:02:32,733
substitute motion simply to

2321
01:02:32,733 --> 01:02:34,635
approve a to close the public

2322
01:02:34,635 --> 01:02:35,369
hearing and move on from there

2323
01:02:35,369 --> 01:02:35,903
and then have the discussion on

2324
01:02:35,903 --> 01:02:37,903
the substantive motion.

2325
01:02:38,205 --> 01:02:38,572
Is there a motion to close the

2326
01:02:38,572 --> 01:02:40,572
public hearing?

2327
01:02:41,208 --> 01:02:43,208
Close?

2328
01:02:43,543 --> 01:02:45,612
>> I make a motion to close the

2329
01:02:45,612 --> 01:02:45,812
public hearing just the second

2330
01:02:45,812 --> 01:02:46,279
.

2331
01:02:46,279 --> 01:02:46,747
A second.

2332
01:02:46,747 --> 01:02:47,514
Is there.

2333
01:02:47,514 --> 01:02:48,316
>> a second.

2334
01:02:48,316 --> 01:02:49,550
Kimberly.

2335
01:02:49,550 --> 01:02:50,851
>> any further discussion on

2336
01:02:50,851 --> 01:02:52,186
closing the public hearing so

2337
01:02:52,186 --> 01:02:53,788
we can go on to the discussion

2338
01:02:53,788 --> 01:02:54,889
of b okay.

2339
01:02:54,889 --> 01:02:55,956
All in favor?

2340
01:02:55,956 --> 01:02:57,224
Any opposed?

2341
01:02:57,224 --> 01:02:59,224
Okay.

2342
01:02:59,260 --> 01:03:02,960
Now is there a separate motion

2343
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:02,896
to adopt to uh approve the

2344
01:03:02,896 --> 01:03:04,798
motion itself.

2345
01:03:04,798 --> 01:03:06,798
To defer.

2346
01:03:06,968 --> 01:03:09,303
Is there is there a separate.

2347
01:03:09,303 --> 01:03:09,671
We do not we do not have a

2348
01:03:09,671 --> 01:03:11,671
motion yet.

2349
01:03:11,706 --> 01:03:12,807
So is so there is a motion and

2350
01:03:12,807 --> 01:03:13,941
a second to adopt the

2351
01:03:13,941 --> 01:03:15,941
resolution deferral.

2352
01:03:16,210 --> 01:03:17,645
>> to defer to debate adopt the

2353
01:03:17,645 --> 01:03:19,714
resolution to close a portion

2354
01:03:19,714 --> 01:03:20,848
moved to defer the adoption

2355
01:03:20,848 --> 01:03:21,926
which is b okay.

2356
01:03:21,926 --> 01:03:22,851
All in favor.

2357
01:03:22,851 --> 01:03:25,251
Any discussion of that?

2358
01:03:26,287 --> 01:03:27,210
Council member.

01:03:27,210 --> 01:03:27,622

>> the way.

01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:33,294
I had understood um, in our

2366
01:03:33,294 --> 01:03:33,928
conversations earlier today.

2367
01:03:33,928 --> 01:03:34,395
This was.

2368
01:03:34,395 --> 01:03:36,395
Something that.

2369
01:03:36,431 --> 01:03:36,897
>> was brought by a resident.

2370
01:03:36,897 --> 01:03:37,598
Is that.

2371
01:03:37,598 --> 01:03:38,899
>> correct how.

2372
01:03:38,899 --> 01:03:39,400
>> this particular motion.

2373
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:39,934
>> came forward?

2374
01:03:39,934 --> 01:03:40,335
>> can you describe.

2375
01:03:40,335 --> 01:03:40,869
>> that to.

2376
01:03:40,869 --> 01:03:42,370
Council, how we.

2377
01:03:42,370 --> 01:03:43,271
>> got where we are and what.

2378
01:03:43,271 --> 01:03:43,772
This particular motion is?

2379
01:03:43,772 --> 01:03:44,840
Sure.

2380
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,840
>> so the property.

2381
01:03:47,409 --> 01:03:48,910
Owner has requested.

2382
01:03:48,910 --> 01:03:49,377
To close.

2383
01:03:49,377 --> 01:03:50,812
>> a.

2384
01:03:50,812 --> 01:03:50,979
Portion of the of the driveway

2385
01:03:50,979 --> 01:03:52,979
.

2386
01:03:53,314 --> 01:03:53,948
And or the we on a drive.

2387
01:03:53,948 --> 01:03:55,350
We we.

2388
01:03:55,350 --> 01:03:56,918
>> on a avenue excuse me.

2389
01:03:56,918 --> 01:03:58,787
And notified.

2390
01:03:58,787 --> 01:03:59,355
The adjacent property.

2391
01:03:59,355 --> 01:03:59,788
Owners to see if.

2392
01:03:59,788 --> 01:04:00,389
>> there.

2393
01:04:00,389 --> 01:04:01,590
Was opposition.

2394
01:04:01,590 --> 01:04:01,957
Apparently there was no

2395
01:04:01,957 --> 01:04:03,825
opposition and.

2396
01:04:03,825 --> 01:04:05,527
So this is the property owners.

2397
01:04:05,527 --> 01:04:05,894
Request and it has not been

2398
01:04:05,894 --> 01:04:07,429
challenged.

2399
01:04:07,429 --> 01:04:09,364
So mayor, if I MAY.

2400
01:04:09,364 --> 01:04:10,265
I will not be supporting.

2401
01:04:10,265 --> 01:04:11,333
a motion to defer.

2402
01:04:11,333 --> 01:04:11,866
>> because I find it

2403
01:04:11,866 --> 01:04:12,300
inefficient to do.

2404
01:04:12,300 --> 01:04:13,401
So in.

2405
01:04:13,401 --> 01:04:14,200
>> circumstances such.

2406
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:14,335
>> as have.

2407
01:04:14,335 --> 01:04:15,204
>> been.

2408
01:04:15,204 --> 01:04:15,437
Described as I understand this

2409
01:04:15,437 --> 01:04:17,437
motion.

2410
01:04:17,573 --> 01:04:18,874
It is ripe for determination on

2411
01:04:18,874 --> 01:04:19,341
this evening even.

2412
01:04:19,341 --> 01:04:19,742
Though we.

2413
01:04:19,742 --> 01:04:20,242
>> have.

2414
01:04:20,242 --> 01:04:21,276
Had the public.

2415
01:04:21,276 --> 01:04:22,244
Hearing in the.

2416
01:04:22,244 --> 01:04:22,745
Same context.

2417
01:04:22,745 --> 01:04:23,645
>> of the.

2418
01:04:23,645 --> 01:04:23,812
Meeting, I think that this is

2419
01:04:23,812 --> 01:04:25,380
a.

2420
01:04:25,380 --> 01:04:26,315
Is ripe situation.

2421
01:04:26,315 --> 01:04:26,782
Council member.

2422
01:04:26,782 --> 01:04:27,883
As mayor.

2423
01:04:27,883 --> 01:04:29,883
Yes.

2424
01:04:29,918 --> 01:04:31,918
>> so MADAM.

2425
01:04:32,722 --> 01:04:34,230
Attorney gave us legal guidance

2426
01:04:34,230 --> 01:04:34,357
earlier today at the committee

2427
01:04:34,357 --> 01:04:36,580
meeting.

2428
01:04:36,580 --> 01:04:38,460
So what I'm concerned about is

2429
01:04:38,460 --> 01:04:40,463
if we impose a.

2430
01:04:40,463 --> 01:04:42,531
Different process and take it

2431
01:04:42,531 --> 01:04:44,299
out when we have not adopted a

2432
01:04:44,299 --> 01:04:45,467
new process, I'm concerned

2433
01:04:45,467 --> 01:04:47,602
about the legal challenge.

2434
01:04:47,602 --> 01:04:49,338
So MADAM Attorney, if you could

2435
01:04:49,338 --> 01:04:51,738
speak to that and.

2436
01:04:53,242 --> 01:04:55,642
Certainly has council member

2437
01:04:55,945 --> 01:04:56,879
engineer at 168 to.

2438
01:04:56,879 --> 01:04:57,980
>> 99 does provide.

2439
01:04:57,980 --> 01:04:59,980
An appeal.

2440
01:05:00,150 --> 01:05:01,884
Mechanism to superior court.

2441
01:05:01,884 --> 01:05:02,751
For the decision.

2442
01:05:02,751 --> 01:05:03,519
Any decision is made by.

2443
01:05:03,519 --> 01:05:05,519
Council concerning.

2444
01:05:06,655 --> 01:05:07,289
Concerning one of these public

2445
01:05:07,289 --> 01:05:08,391
hearings and.

2446
01:05:08,391 --> 01:05:09,959
Uh at this point without.

2447
01:05:09,959 --> 01:05:11,594
Opposition there could be.

2448
01:05:11,594 --> 01:05:11,794
>> it could be opposition to

2449
01:05:11,794 --> 01:05:13,794
that.

2450
01:05:14,297 --> 01:05:16,499
Be appeal to the court.

2451
01:05:16,499 --> 01:05:16,732
that's all I have.

2452
01:05:16,732 --> 01:05:18,334
Okay.

2453
01:05:18,334 --> 01:05:19,468
>> is there any further council

2454
01:05:19,468 --> 01:05:21,671
member graham on the motion to.

2455
01:05:21,671 --> 01:05:23,405
Defer and I'll be I'll be

2456
01:05:23,405 --> 01:05:25,142
voting against that as well.

2457
01:05:25,142 --> 01:05:27,511
And I think councilor, if you

2458
01:05:27,511 --> 01:05:28,945
would allow the committee to

2459
01:05:28,945 --> 01:05:29,146
process the request that you

2460
01:05:29,146 --> 01:05:31,146
made.

2461
01:05:31,481 --> 01:05:32,315
And we don't know what the

2462
01:05:32,315 --> 01:05:32,482
committee is going to recommend

2463
01:05:32,482 --> 01:05:34,482
.

2464
01:05:34,517 --> 01:05:36,719
We don't know what the council

2465
01:05:36,719 --> 01:05:38,621
will eventually vote on what we

2466
01:05:38,621 --> 01:05:39,922
have done to start a discussion

2467
01:05:39,922 --> 01:05:42,458
and we have to keep the rules

2468
01:05:42,458 --> 01:05:43,894
as they are today and they MAY

2469
01:05:43,894 --> 01:05:45,529
or MAY not change tomorrow.

2470
01:05:45,529 --> 01:05:46,930
So I think we need to.

2471
01:05:46,930 --> 01:05:48,665
Plow forward.

2472
01:05:48,665 --> 01:05:49,766
And allow the council and the

2473
01:05:49,766 --> 01:05:50,133
committee the process to work

2474
01:05:50,133 --> 01:05:51,835
with you.

2475
01:05:51,835 --> 01:05:53,570
Access to do it is not ready.

2476
01:05:53,570 --> 01:05:55,272
It's been prioritized.

2477
01:05:55,272 --> 01:05:56,406
We'll be talking about it again

2478
01:05:56,406 --> 01:05:56,873
in two weeks.

2479
01:05:56,873 --> 01:05:57,774
I think.

2480
01:05:57,774 --> 01:05:59,609
>> we need to move on.

2481
01:05:59,609 --> 01:06:00,411
We're having a debate about

2482
01:06:00,411 --> 01:06:02,411
having a debate.

2483
01:06:02,613 --> 01:06:05,616
And we have a motion on the

2484
01:06:05,616 --> 01:06:06,884
floor to defer the motion to uh

2485
01:06:06,884 --> 01:06:08,318
uh, adopt the resolution and

2486
01:06:08,318 --> 01:06:08,518
close a portion of pete brown

2487
01:06:08,518 --> 01:06:10,220
road.

2488
01:06:10,220 --> 01:06:10,420
That's item four in the agenda

2489
01:06:10,420 --> 01:06:12,420
.

2490
01:06:13,690 --> 01:06:13,890
All in favor of the motion to

2491
01:06:13,890 --> 01:06:15,125
defer?

2492
01:06:15,125 --> 01:06:17,327
Please raise your hand.

2493
01:06:17,327 --> 01:06:19,327
All opposed?

2494
01:06:21,650 --> 01:06:22,466
MR. Mayor, I move to approve.

2495
01:06:22,466 --> 01:06:23,901
B second.

2496
01:06:23,901 --> 01:06:25,302
Just just for the record, the.

2497
01:06:25,302 --> 01:06:27,702
Motion to defer failed.

2498
01:06:28,272 --> 01:06:29,373
Uh, the motion to approve adopt

2499
01:06:29,373 --> 01:06:30,474
the resolution now.

2500
01:06:30,474 --> 01:06:30,941
>> is there a second?

2501
01:06:30,941 --> 01:06:31,875
second.

01:11:43,910 --> 01:11:43,758
>> have had general questions.

2695
01:11:43,758 --> 01:11:44,920
>> as well.

2696
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:45,930
So I'd.

2697
01:11:45,930 --> 01:11:45,360
>> like to share some of them

2698
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:46,194
with you.

2699
01:11:46,194 --> 01:11:46,561
>> I'd like to start.

2700
01:11:46,561 --> 01:11:47,629
>> off by.

2701
01:11:47,629 --> 01:11:49,640
saying first and foremost we

2702
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:49,364
have gotten the question

2703
01:11:49,364 --> 01:11:50,266
repeatedly.

2704
01:11:50,266 --> 01:11:50,699
What are we.

2705
01:11:50,699 --> 01:11:51,133
>> trying.

2706
01:11:51,133 --> 01:11:51,534
To solve or.

2707
01:11:51,534 --> 01:11:51,767
>> what.

2708
01:11:51,767 --> 01:11:52,635
Are we.

2709
01:11:52,635 --> 01:11:52,902
>> were trying to do with this

2710
01:11:52,902 --> 01:11:53,736
ordinance?

2711
01:11:53,736 --> 01:11:54,837
>> I will tell you very.

2712
01:11:54,837 --> 01:11:55,404
Plainly that we are.

2713
01:11:55,404 --> 01:11:56,805
Trying to reduce.

2714
01:11:56,805 --> 01:11:59,174
The number of teen takeover

2715
01:11:59,174 --> 01:12:00,609
events where there is crime,

2716
01:12:00,609 --> 01:12:02,344
where there is property damage

2717
01:12:02,344 --> 01:12:02,744
and where we have seen harm to

2718
01:12:02,744 --> 01:12:04,412
the community.

2719
01:12:04,412 --> 01:12:06,481
We want to make sure that we

2720
01:12:06,481 --> 01:12:07,450
are also being cognizant of

2721
01:12:07,450 --> 01:12:07,783
victimization of our young

2722
01:12:07,783 --> 01:12:09,783
people.

2723
01:12:09,986 --> 01:12:10,653
We want to minimize that as

2724
01:12:10,653 --> 01:12:12,521
much as possible.

2725
01:12:12,521 --> 01:12:15,570
Now we know that an ordinance

2726
01:12:15,570 --> 01:12:16,250
is not the save all be all in

2727
01:12:16,250 --> 01:12:16,659
doing that we know that there

2728
01:12:16,659 --> 01:12:17,126
still is.

2729
01:12:17,126 --> 01:12:17,726
>> going to.

2730
01:12:17,726 --> 01:12:18,493
Be victimization.

2731
01:12:18,493 --> 01:12:20,396
We know they're still going to

2732
01:12:20,396 --> 01:12:21,530
be victimizing but we want to

2733
01:12:21,530 --> 01:12:21,797
mitigate it as much as

2734
01:12:21,797 --> 01:12:23,797
possible.

2735
01:12:24,199 --> 01:12:25,802
And so this ordinance gives us

2736
01:12:25,802 --> 01:12:26,769
or this modification to the

2737
01:12:26,769 --> 01:12:27,136
ordinance gives us one more

2738
01:12:27,136 --> 01:12:29,136
tool.

2739
01:12:29,939 --> 01:12:31,374
For law enforcement to be able

2740
01:12:31,374 --> 01:12:33,743
to create safe spaces for our

2741
01:12:33,743 --> 01:12:35,177
youth and also prevent or

2742
01:12:35,177 --> 01:12:37,177
reduce victimization.

2743
01:12:37,513 --> 01:12:38,981
I want to reiterate what I've

2744
01:12:38,981 --> 01:12:40,883
heard repeatedly and even

2745
01:12:40,883 --> 01:12:42,919
tonight that this ordinance

2746
01:12:42,919 --> 01:12:43,186
change or modification is not

2747
01:12:43,186 --> 01:12:44,988
intended.

2748
01:12:44,988 --> 01:12:46,422
To criminalize our youth.

2749
01:12:46,422 --> 01:12:48,324
We do not want to create

2750
01:12:48,324 --> 01:12:49,759
pipelines to prisons or where

2751
01:12:49,759 --> 01:12:52,295
our youth are just doing things

2752
01:12:52,295 --> 01:12:54,197
that youth do and be subject to

2753
01:12:54,197 --> 01:12:55,264
the criminal justice system.

2754
01:12:55,264 --> 01:12:56,566
In fact, in a little bit I'm

2755
01:12:56,566 --> 01:12:58,768
going to ask attorney battle if

2756
01:12:58,768 --> 01:13:01,938
she will talk about the process

2757
01:13:01,938 --> 01:13:04,774
if someone is in um if cited

2758
01:13:04,774 --> 01:13:05,141
for youth violation under this

2759
01:13:05,141 --> 01:13:06,676
ordinance.

2760
01:13:06,676 --> 01:13:08,676
Also too.

2761
01:13:08,811 --> 01:13:10,413
With the implementation of this

2762
01:13:10,413 --> 01:13:11,514
ordinance if passed one of the

2763
01:13:11,514 --> 01:13:12,348
things we want to do is make

2764
01:13:12,348 --> 01:13:12,682
sure that we're working very

2765
01:13:12,682 --> 01:13:13,182
closely with.

2766
01:13:13,182 --> 01:13:14,117
Community partners.

2767
01:13:14,117 --> 01:13:15,184
I've already.

2768
01:13:15,184 --> 01:13:17,530
Started those conversations.

2769
01:13:17,530 --> 01:13:18,210
Cmpd has always been.

2770
01:13:18,210 --> 01:13:19,556
>> good about working.

2771
01:13:19,556 --> 01:13:20,991
With the community and

2772
01:13:20,991 --> 01:13:21,191
different groups in that regard

2773
01:13:21,191 --> 01:13:23,191
.

2774
01:13:23,227 --> 01:13:25,227
Next slide please.

2775
01:13:26,963 --> 01:13:27,164
So there are a couple things

2776
01:13:27,164 --> 01:13:27,530
or.

2777
01:13:27,530 --> 01:13:27,920
>> do.

2778
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:28,331
I have.

2779
01:13:28,331 --> 01:13:28,798
>> it here?

2780
01:13:28,798 --> 01:13:30,798
I'm sorry.

2781
01:13:30,834 --> 01:13:32,680
Here we go.

2782
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:32,502
So a couple things.

2783
01:13:32,502 --> 01:13:32,735
>> I.

2784
01:13:32,735 --> 01:13:32,969
Just.

2785
01:13:32,969 --> 01:13:34,337
Want to.

2786
01:13:34,337 --> 01:13:35,873
>> reiterate and highlight to

2787
01:13:35,873 --> 01:13:37,274
you is first the recommendation

2788
01:13:37,274 --> 01:13:37,608
the overall recommendation is

2789
01:13:37,608 --> 01:13:38,709
that we.

2790
01:13:38,709 --> 01:13:40,410
Modify the curfew.

2791
01:13:40,410 --> 01:13:43,410
Curfew age to include all

2792
01:13:43,414 --> 01:13:45,182
minors 17 and younger and also

2793
01:13:45,182 --> 01:13:46,149
to that the time will be 9 P.M.

2794
01:13:46,149 --> 01:13:48,151
Every day of the week.

2795
01:13:48,151 --> 01:13:49,419
Also to.

2796
01:13:49,419 --> 01:13:51,321
>> a lot of conversation has

2797
01:13:51,321 --> 01:13:52,190
been had about the exceptions

2798
01:13:52,190 --> 01:13:53,858
or the exceptions.

2799
01:13:53,858 --> 01:13:55,760
Many people have stated that

2800
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,561
this is a blanket curfew, that

2801
01:13:57,561 --> 01:13:58,929
there are no exceptions.

2802
01:13:58,929 --> 01:13:59,960
We want to be clear that they

2803
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:00,364
are.

2804
01:14:00,364 --> 01:14:02,266
We spoke of this last time but

2805
01:14:02,266 --> 01:14:03,534
I think it's worth mentioning

2806
01:14:03,534 --> 01:14:05,469
again especially with cms

2807
01:14:05,469 --> 01:14:06,870
schools starting on tomorrow.

2808
01:14:06,870 --> 01:14:08,305
It is important that we

2809
01:14:08,305 --> 01:14:09,406
understand that youth who are

2810
01:14:09,406 --> 01:14:11,342
going to and from football

2811
01:14:11,342 --> 01:14:14,312
games or other sanctioned youth

2812
01:14:14,312 --> 01:14:15,913
events by schools, religious or

2813
01:14:15,913 --> 01:14:16,881
recreational events that are

2814
01:14:16,881 --> 01:14:18,482
accompanied by an adult or that

2815
01:14:18,482 --> 01:14:20,685
are supervised by an adult.

2816
01:14:20,685 --> 01:14:22,853
Those individuals will be okay.

2817
01:14:22,853 --> 01:14:23,187
They will not be subject to the

2818
01:14:23,187 --> 01:14:24,922
curfew.

2819
01:14:24,922 --> 01:14:26,824
Um additionally, those who are

2820
01:14:26,824 --> 01:14:28,259
running errands by their

2821
01:14:28,259 --> 01:14:29,861
parents or their guardians at

2822
01:14:29,861 --> 01:14:31,596
their direction they will not

2823
01:14:31,596 --> 01:14:32,864
be subject to the curfew.

2824
01:14:32,864 --> 01:14:34,766
Will this mean that an officer

2825
01:14:34,766 --> 01:14:35,266
MAY not stop this person or

2826
01:14:35,266 --> 01:14:36,167
talk to him?

2827
01:14:36,167 --> 01:14:36,534
>> of course not.

2828
01:14:36,534 --> 01:14:37,468
>> what?

2829
01:14:37,468 --> 01:14:37,869
We want to make sure that the

2830
01:14:37,869 --> 01:14:39,869
youth is safe.

2831
01:14:39,904 --> 01:14:41,972
However we will not be taking

2832
01:14:41,972 --> 01:14:43,574
that youth into custody or such

2833
01:14:43,574 --> 01:14:45,577
or doing a juvenile arrest.

2834
01:14:45,577 --> 01:14:47,577
Additionally exceptions exist

2835
01:14:47,812 --> 01:14:49,414
if there is an emergency also

2836
01:14:49,414 --> 01:14:50,548
too if that youth is traveling

2837
01:14:50,548 --> 01:14:52,948
to and from work.

2838
01:14:53,351 --> 01:14:54,786
One of the things that we

2839
01:14:54,786 --> 01:14:55,119
really I have got conversations

2840
01:14:55,119 --> 01:14:55,820
about.

2841
01:14:55,820 --> 01:14:57,322
>> or I've gotten.

2842
01:14:57,322 --> 01:14:59,900
Questions about is concerning a

2843
01:14:59,900 --> 01:15:01,392
17 year old who is in college.

2844
01:15:01,392 --> 01:15:02,930
I want to reiterate again we

2845
01:15:02,930 --> 01:15:04,930
understand that individuals

2846
01:15:04,129 --> 01:15:05,697
like that are in school.

2847
01:15:05,697 --> 01:15:06,631
They're doing the right thing.

2848
01:15:06,631 --> 01:15:08,333
We are not.

2849
01:15:08,333 --> 01:15:09,301
Going to have a curfew police

2850
01:15:09,301 --> 01:15:10,902
we're not going to have our

2851
01:15:10,902 --> 01:15:13,302
officers patrolling the streets

2852
01:15:13,438 --> 01:15:14,239
of charlotte looking for

2853
01:15:14,239 --> 01:15:15,840
individuals and trying to

2854
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:16,808
determine their ages so that we

2855
01:15:16,808 --> 01:15:18,409
can do a juvenile arrest or

2856
01:15:18,409 --> 01:15:18,643
that we can take them into

2857
01:15:18,643 --> 01:15:20,612
custody.

2858
01:15:20,612 --> 01:15:22,348
That is not the intent of this.

2859
01:15:22,348 --> 01:15:24,416
Again, we are trying to have a

2860
01:15:24,416 --> 01:15:25,384
tool that when we have teen

2861
01:15:25,384 --> 01:15:26,151
takeovers we have these mass.

2862
01:15:26,151 --> 01:15:27,886
Gatherings.

2863
01:15:27,886 --> 01:15:29,921
>> we're able to address them

2864
01:15:29,921 --> 01:15:31,690
effectively and in a way that

2865
01:15:31,690 --> 01:15:34,492
prevents harm to our youth.

2866
01:15:34,492 --> 01:15:35,327
One other question I wanted to

2867
01:15:35,327 --> 01:15:37,363
make sure that we were

2868
01:15:37,363 --> 01:15:38,964
addressing and to update you is

2869
01:15:38,964 --> 01:15:40,990
concerning some of the studies

2870
01:15:40,990 --> 01:15:42,990
related to curfew.

2871
01:15:43,235 --> 01:15:44,970
In the document that you should

2872
01:15:44,970 --> 01:15:46,105
have received we outlined some

2873
01:15:46,105 --> 01:15:47,372
studies in there we found where

2874
01:15:47,372 --> 01:15:49,141
there were three studies in

2875
01:15:49,141 --> 01:15:50,676
support of positive impacts.

2876
01:15:50,676 --> 01:15:52,770
For curfews.

2877
01:15:52,770 --> 01:15:53,645
There were four that were.

2878
01:15:53,645 --> 01:15:55,645
Mixed impacts.

2879
01:15:55,682 --> 01:15:57,917
And certainly I know that

2880
01:15:57,917 --> 01:15:59,819
people have found studies that

2881
01:15:59,819 --> 01:16:00,152
suggest that curfews are not

2882
01:16:00,152 --> 01:16:02,152
effective.

2883
01:16:02,488 --> 01:16:04,423
What I would say is that many

2884
01:16:04,423 --> 01:16:05,691
of the studies that have been

2885
01:16:05,691 --> 01:16:06,725
used or we have looked at.

2886
01:16:06,725 --> 01:16:07,626
Are not.

2887
01:16:07,626 --> 01:16:08,594
>> current studies.

2888
01:16:08,594 --> 01:16:10,229
They they.

2889
01:16:10,229 --> 01:16:11,663
>> do not address the issue of

2890
01:16:11,663 --> 01:16:13,399
teen takeovers which we have

2891
01:16:13,399 --> 01:16:14,534
seen is a phenomenon that's new

2892
01:16:14,534 --> 01:16:15,502
that we have seen probably in

2893
01:16:15,502 --> 01:16:16,603
the last year year and a.

2894
01:16:16,603 --> 01:16:17,704
Half um.

2895
01:16:17,704 --> 01:16:18,938
Mainly this.

2896
01:16:18,938 --> 01:16:19,205
>> year that we have seen in

2897
01:16:19,205 --> 01:16:20,206
charlotte.

2898
01:16:20,206 --> 01:16:22,206
So because of.

2899
01:16:22,408 --> 01:16:23,542
That I will suggest that we

2900
01:16:23,542 --> 01:16:25,111
look very closely at our data

2901
01:16:25,111 --> 01:16:26,780
that we would move forward with

2902
01:16:26,780 --> 01:16:27,179
this so that we can.

2903
01:16:27,179 --> 01:16:29,579
Gain data, we can.

2904
01:16:29,850 --> 01:16:31,451
Work with some of our local

2905
01:16:31,451 --> 01:16:33,953
universities to be able to

2906
01:16:33,953 --> 01:16:35,421
capture the proper data for our

2907
01:16:35,421 --> 01:16:36,222
community and then we can know

2908
01:16:36,222 --> 01:16:36,923
whether or not this is

2909
01:16:36,923 --> 01:16:38,324
something that is effective,

2910
01:16:38,324 --> 01:16:39,920
that is meaningful for.

2911
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,920
Our community.

2912
01:16:44,397 --> 01:16:46,632
One other area that we wanted

2913
01:16:46,632 --> 01:16:47,901
to address and one of the main

2914
01:16:47,901 --> 01:16:48,568
reasons for the modification

2915
01:16:48,568 --> 01:16:50,737
that we're looking at.

2916
01:16:50,737 --> 01:16:52,380
Is because we want to reduce or

2917
01:16:52,380 --> 01:16:52,672
prevent the victimization of

2918
01:16:52,672 --> 01:16:54,107
our youth.

2919
01:16:54,107 --> 01:16:55,375
I believe that was doctor

2920
01:16:55,375 --> 01:16:56,810
watlington in the last meeting

2921
01:16:56,810 --> 01:16:58,878
asked us if we could break out

2922
01:16:58,878 --> 01:17:00,480
the youth victimization numbers

2923
01:17:00,480 --> 01:17:01,915
to show the different time

2924
01:17:01,915 --> 01:17:03,950
frames and so we were able to

2925
01:17:03,950 --> 01:17:06,487
do that so that you can see

2926
01:17:06,487 --> 01:17:07,788
that particularly at nighttime

2927
01:17:07,788 --> 01:17:09,389
out outdoor juvenile

2928
01:17:09,389 --> 01:17:11,458
victimization is still driven

2929
01:17:11,458 --> 01:17:12,920
primarily by firearm and

2930
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:13,960
aggravated assaults.

2931
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:15,950
When we look at the charts you

2932
01:17:15,950 --> 01:17:15,328
can see in the different time

2933
01:17:15,328 --> 01:17:17,328
frames.

2934
01:17:19,732 --> 01:17:21,634
So from 9 P.M. To 5:59 A.M. We

2935
01:17:21,634 --> 01:17:24,340
saw an overall 431 victims.

2936
01:17:24,605 --> 01:17:26,974
Of crime in our community.

2937
01:17:26,974 --> 01:17:28,750
This is youth that are outside

2938
01:17:28,750 --> 01:17:29,643
or in those open spaces.

2939
01:17:29,643 --> 01:17:31,879
If you look at that also too,

2940
01:17:31,879 --> 01:17:34,810
we see that the age of 16 to 17

2941
01:17:34,810 --> 01:17:36,481
was roughly 30% and the

2942
01:17:36,616 --> 01:17:38,685
majority were 80 or assault

2943
01:17:38,685 --> 01:17:39,152
with gun cases or victims.

2944
01:17:39,152 --> 01:17:40,855
Um.

2945
01:17:40,855 --> 01:17:43,855
>> also to looking at the

2946
01:17:44,158 --> 01:17:44,358
demographics 91% were youth of

2947
01:17:44,358 --> 01:17:46,358
color.

2948
01:17:47,194 --> 01:17:47,795
We broke it out between 10.

2949
01:17:47,795 --> 01:17:49,795
>> and 5.

2950
01:17:50,130 --> 01:17:51,265
5:59 P.M. Or 6 A.M. And you can

2951
01:17:51,265 --> 01:17:53,167
look at the numbers there they

2952
01:17:53,167 --> 01:17:54,935
go down slightly but we still

2953
01:17:54,935 --> 01:17:55,903
see victimization happening

2954
01:17:55,903 --> 01:17:57,171
throughout those hours and

2955
01:17:57,171 --> 01:17:59,571
throughout the early mornings.

2956
01:18:00,608 --> 01:18:02,376
The percentage of our brown and

2957
01:18:02,376 --> 01:18:05,346
black youth that are victimized

2958
01:18:05,346 --> 01:18:06,647
is still in the 90s, which is

2959
01:18:06,647 --> 01:18:08,349
concerning to all of us.

2960
01:18:08,349 --> 01:18:09,450
Having raised two

2961
01:18:09,450 --> 01:18:10,718
african-american males in my

2962
01:18:10,718 --> 01:18:12,486
household, that was always a

2963
01:18:12,486 --> 01:18:14,221
concern that they would be a

2964
01:18:14,221 --> 01:18:15,991
victim of crime or that they

2965
01:18:15,991 --> 01:18:16,791
would be out doing something

2966
01:18:16,791 --> 01:18:19,160
innocently and end up hurt.

2967
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,895
So it is a concern not only for

2968
01:18:20,895 --> 01:18:21,696
me but I know it is for many

2969
01:18:21,696 --> 01:18:23,696
parents and.

2970
01:18:24,198 --> 01:18:26,598
Those in our community.

2971
01:18:29,203 --> 01:18:30,337
One other area an update I want

2972
01:18:30,337 --> 01:18:31,172
to provide is speaking to

2973
01:18:31,172 --> 01:18:33,172
community members.

2974
01:18:34,443 --> 01:18:35,710
The question arose repeatedly

2975
01:18:35,710 --> 01:18:37,710
concerning juvenile arrests.

2976
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,148
What does it mean if we enforce

2977
01:18:40,148 --> 01:18:42,148
this ordinance?

2978
01:18:42,917 --> 01:18:43,284
What does it mean for our youth

2979
01:18:43,284 --> 01:18:44,519
particularly?

2980
01:18:44,519 --> 01:18:45,653
Does it mean that they are

2981
01:18:45,653 --> 01:18:46,654
going to be arrested?

2982
01:18:46,654 --> 01:18:46,921
They're going to be placed in

2983
01:18:46,921 --> 01:18:47,889
handcuffs.

2984
01:18:47,889 --> 01:18:49,157
Do they go through the criminal

2985
01:18:49,157 --> 01:18:50,192
justice system?

2986
01:18:50,192 --> 01:18:51,527
There's a lot of conversation

2987
01:18:51,527 --> 01:18:52,494
even tonight that we're

2988
01:18:52,494 --> 01:18:52,694
criminalizing our young people

2989
01:18:52,694 --> 01:18:52,961
.

2990
01:18:52,961 --> 01:18:53,328
We want.

2991
01:18:53,328 --> 01:18:54,196
>> to.

2992
01:18:54,196 --> 01:18:54,563
Be very clear that that.

2993
01:18:54,563 --> 01:18:56,198
>> is.

2994
01:18:56,198 --> 01:18:57,532
Not what happens necessarily.

2995
01:18:57,532 --> 01:18:59,134
And I'm going to ask attorney

2996
01:18:59,134 --> 01:19:00,101
jessica battle to come forward

2997
01:19:00,101 --> 01:19:01,970
to talk a little bit more.

2998
01:19:01,970 --> 01:19:04,390
But I do want to emphasize the

2999
01:19:04,390 --> 01:19:05,940
point that with a juvenile

3000
01:19:05,940 --> 01:19:06,274
arrest most of the times those

3001
01:19:06,274 --> 01:19:08,274
youth are.

3002
01:19:08,310 --> 01:19:09,878
Returned to their families.

3003
01:19:09,878 --> 01:19:10,212
We call their parents their

3004
01:19:10,212 --> 01:19:11,480
guardians.

3005
01:19:11,480 --> 01:19:12,748
They come and they take

3006
01:19:12,748 --> 01:19:14,150
possession of that youth.

3007
01:19:14,150 --> 01:19:15,918
At no time are they going

3008
01:19:15,918 --> 01:19:16,885
through the sheriff department

3009
01:19:16,885 --> 01:19:18,954
or going to the jail or

3010
01:19:18,954 --> 01:19:20,550
anything like that and there's

3011
01:19:20,550 --> 01:19:22,124
instances in which there are

3012
01:19:22,124 --> 01:19:23,658
criminal activity that occurs

3013
01:19:23,658 --> 01:19:25,161
that necessitate necessitates

3014
01:19:25,161 --> 01:19:26,128
them being in the criminal

3015
01:19:26,128 --> 01:19:27,696
justice system.

3016
01:19:27,696 --> 01:19:30,232
But the majority of these

3017
01:19:30,232 --> 01:19:30,833
juvenile cases of curfew are.

3018
01:19:30,833 --> 01:19:31,800
Not what.

3019
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:32,401
We're finding.

3020
01:19:32,401 --> 01:19:33,350
So when I'm.

3021
01:19:33,350 --> 01:19:34,169
Asked just.

3022
01:19:34,169 --> 01:19:34,570
>> gives you a come forward to

3023
01:19:34,570 --> 01:19:34,937
talk about just a.

3024
01:19:34,937 --> 01:19:35,204
>> little.

3025
01:19:35,204 --> 01:19:35,637
Bit more.

3026
01:19:35,637 --> 01:19:37,606
>> about the.

3027
01:19:37,606 --> 01:19:38,600
Process so that we can

3028
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:38,574
understand that a.

3029
01:19:38,574 --> 01:19:40,574
>> little bit better.

3030
01:19:41,811 --> 01:19:43,212
Thank you ma'am.

3031
01:19:43,212 --> 01:19:44,180
Good evening jessica battle

3032
01:19:44,180 --> 01:19:45,114
with the city.

3033
01:19:45,114 --> 01:19:46,849
Attorney's office.

3034
01:19:46,849 --> 01:19:48,251
As chief.

3035
01:19:48,251 --> 01:19:49,952
Stated, if there is probable.

3036
01:19:49,952 --> 01:19:50,152
Cause to charge a juvenile

3037
01:19:50,152 --> 01:19:51,721
with.

3038
01:19:51,721 --> 01:19:52,188
A violation.

3039
01:19:52,188 --> 01:19:52,788
>> of a.

3040
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:53,756
Curfew or any.

3041
01:19:53,756 --> 01:19:54,824
Particular charge.

3042
01:19:54,824 --> 01:19:56,225
Officers would have to.

3043
01:19:56,225 --> 01:19:56,858
Make an on-scene.

3044
01:19:56,858 --> 01:19:57,793
Decision about.

3045
01:19:57,793 --> 01:19:58,260
Whether or not they were.

3046
01:19:58,260 --> 01:20:00,163
Going to.

3047
01:20:00,163 --> 01:20:01,970
>> charge that juvenile.

3048
01:20:01,970 --> 01:20:01,631
They look at.

3049
01:20:01,631 --> 01:20:02,766
>> many.

3050
01:20:02,766 --> 01:20:03,800
Different factors including.

3051
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:04,133
>> the severity of the.

3052
01:20:04,133 --> 01:20:06,200
Crime.

3053
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:06,202
>> the juveniles behavior on

3054
01:20:06,202 --> 01:20:07,170
that.

3055
01:20:07,170 --> 01:20:08,204
Particular encounter.

3056
01:20:08,204 --> 01:20:10,204
And also their.

3057
01:20:10,873 --> 01:20:12,475
Full juvenile history of any

3058
01:20:12,475 --> 01:20:12,808
charges, investigations or

3059
01:20:12,808 --> 01:20:13,209
arrests.

3060
01:20:13,209 --> 01:20:15,209
One of.

3061
01:20:15,244 --> 01:20:16,178
>> the first factors that.

3062
01:20:16,178 --> 01:20:18,480
Officers will.

3063
01:20:18,480 --> 01:20:18,248
Consider after they look into

3064
01:20:18,248 --> 01:20:19,182
the.

3065
01:20:19,182 --> 01:20:19,816
Juveniles history.

3066
01:20:19,816 --> 01:20:21,217
Is whether or.

3067
01:20:21,217 --> 01:20:21,985
Not diversion.

3068
01:20:21,985 --> 01:20:22,786
>> is an option.

3069
01:20:22,786 --> 01:20:24,320
Diversion would.

3070
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:25,288
Mean sending that juvenile to.

3071
01:20:25,288 --> 01:20:26,689
Some sort of.

3072
01:20:26,689 --> 01:20:28,689
Youth program in.

3073
01:20:29,250 --> 01:20:29,992
Charlotte to look at their

3074
01:20:29,992 --> 01:20:30,626
behavior and look at the sort.

3075
01:20:30,626 --> 01:20:31,861
Of overall.

3076
01:20:31,861 --> 01:20:32,795
Holistic view of that.

3077
01:20:32,795 --> 01:20:34,130
Juvenile to make.

3078
01:20:34,130 --> 01:20:34,565
>> sure that they stay on the.

3079
01:20:34,565 --> 01:20:34,898
>> right.

3080
01:20:34,898 --> 01:20:36,466
Track and.

3081
01:20:36,466 --> 01:20:38,702
Complete that program in order

3082
01:20:38,702 --> 01:20:40,403
to avoid any juvenile charges.

3083
01:20:40,403 --> 01:20:41,238
And so they will review their

3084
01:20:41,238 --> 01:20:42,172
arrest history and.

3085
01:20:42,172 --> 01:20:42,772
Especially for six.

3086
01:20:42,772 --> 01:20:43,873
Six for.

3087
01:20:43,873 --> 01:20:45,275
Six years old.

3088
01:20:45,275 --> 01:20:47,100
Through 17 year olds.

3089
01:20:47,100 --> 01:20:47,343
Those are the ages that are

3090
01:20:47,343 --> 01:20:48,111
subject to.

3091
01:20:48,111 --> 01:20:48,745
Juvenile law.

3092
01:20:48,745 --> 01:20:49,212
And they.

3093
01:20:49,212 --> 01:20:49,679
>> will look.

3094
01:20:49,679 --> 01:20:50,246
>> at those.

3095
01:20:50,246 --> 01:20:52,246
Prior arrests.

3096
01:20:52,283 --> 01:20:52,750
Per cmpd policy.

3097
01:20:52,750 --> 01:20:53,918
If the.

3098
01:20:53,918 --> 01:20:55,519
>> juvenile has a history of

3099
01:20:55,519 --> 01:20:57,254
any prior arrest, they would

3100
01:20:57,254 --> 01:20:58,355
not be subject to.

3101
01:20:58,355 --> 01:20:59,923
seeking a.

3102
01:20:59,923 --> 01:21:00,724
>> diversion program based on

3103
01:21:00,724 --> 01:21:02,292
that policy.

3104
01:21:02,292 --> 01:21:03,393
However.

3105
01:21:03,393 --> 01:21:05,562
>> whether or not cmpd.

3106
01:21:05,562 --> 01:21:06,696
Officers were to divert the

3107
01:21:06,696 --> 01:21:07,163
juvenile to a youth.

3108
01:21:07,163 --> 01:21:08,298
Program.

3109
01:21:08,298 --> 01:21:09,967
>> the department.

3110
01:21:09,967 --> 01:21:11,402
Of juvenile justice and the

3111
01:21:11,402 --> 01:21:13,170
juvenile court counselors in

3112
01:21:13,170 --> 01:21:15,372
the court system could still

3113
01:21:15,372 --> 01:21:16,974
send that juvenile to a

3114
01:21:16,974 --> 01:21:18,242
diversion program prior to it

3115
01:21:18,242 --> 01:21:19,976
getting to the courthouse.

3116
01:21:19,976 --> 01:21:21,578
And let's say that the juvenile

3117
01:21:21,578 --> 01:21:23,313
court counselor chooses not to

3118
01:21:23,313 --> 01:21:23,647
send the youth to a diversion

3119
01:21:23,647 --> 01:21:25,647
program.

3120
01:21:26,483 --> 01:21:27,752
The district court judge in

3121
01:21:27,752 --> 01:21:29,620
juvenile court still has the.

3122
01:21:29,620 --> 01:21:31,210
Final decision to decide.

3123
01:21:31,210 --> 01:21:33,424
Whether or not they will send

3124
01:21:33,424 --> 01:21:33,758
that particular youth to a

3125
01:21:33,758 --> 01:21:34,992
diversion.

3126
01:21:34,992 --> 01:21:36,627
Program as well, and that

3127
01:21:36,627 --> 01:21:38,963
applies for curfew violations

3128
01:21:38,963 --> 01:21:41,198
or any third sort of violation

3129
01:21:41,198 --> 01:21:42,132
that is not diverting.

3130
01:21:42,132 --> 01:21:43,233
Because that barrier.

3131
01:21:43,233 --> 01:21:45,136
When we.

3132
01:21:45,136 --> 01:21:46,704
>> talk about the particular

3133
01:21:46,704 --> 01:21:47,972
juvenile arrest process and

3134
01:21:47,972 --> 01:21:49,407
again this is a general

3135
01:21:49,407 --> 01:21:49,741
overview not just related to

3136
01:21:49,741 --> 01:21:51,642
curfew.

3137
01:21:51,642 --> 01:21:52,276
One of the decisions or things

3138
01:21:52,276 --> 01:21:53,678
that an officer will.

3139
01:21:53,678 --> 01:21:55,913
Have to determine is whether or

3140
01:21:55,913 --> 01:21:56,247
not they need a secure custody

3141
01:21:56,247 --> 01:21:57,515
order.

3142
01:21:57,515 --> 01:21:58,616
You will see that abbreviated

3143
01:21:58,616 --> 01:21:59,884
as esco.

3144
01:21:59,884 --> 01:22:00,251
And that means that the

3145
01:22:00,251 --> 01:22:02,251
juvenile would.

3146
01:22:03,540 --> 01:22:04,456
Be taken to a secured facility

3147
01:22:04,456 --> 01:22:04,822
like a juvenile detention

3148
01:22:04,822 --> 01:22:06,822
facility.

3149
01:22:07,458 --> 01:22:07,692
Um juveniles will have to or

3150
01:22:07,692 --> 01:22:08,293
excuse.

3151
01:22:08,293 --> 01:22:10,280
>> me officers.

3152
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:11,462
Would need to seek a referral

3153
01:22:11,462 --> 01:22:12,563
from the juvenile court

3154
01:22:12,563 --> 01:22:15,990
counselor to get that secure

3155
01:22:15,990 --> 01:22:17,468
custody order if the crime is a

3156
01:22:17,468 --> 01:22:19,371
felony, if it involves gang

3157
01:22:19,371 --> 01:22:20,672
activity or weapons or if it

3158
01:22:20,672 --> 01:22:20,839
involves an aggravated assault

3159
01:22:20,839 --> 01:22:22,574
.

3160
01:22:22,574 --> 01:22:22,741
So if any juvenile committed

3161
01:22:22,741 --> 01:22:23,742
one.

3162
01:22:23,742 --> 01:22:25,110
>> of those particular.

3163
01:22:25,110 --> 01:22:27,612
Types of crimes, they could.

3164
01:22:27,612 --> 01:22:29,470
>> not be sent by the officer

3165
01:22:29,470 --> 01:22:30,782
through a diversion program and

3166
01:22:30,782 --> 01:22:32,383
the officer was seek that

3167
01:22:32,383 --> 01:22:32,717
secure custody order with the

3168
01:22:32,717 --> 01:22:33,651
juvenile.

3169
01:22:33,651 --> 01:22:34,752
Court counselors.

3170
01:22:34,752 --> 01:22:36,752
Um, let's.

3171
01:22:37,422 --> 01:22:38,223
Say that it is an option for

3172
01:22:38,223 --> 01:22:39,958
officers to divert.

3173
01:22:39,958 --> 01:22:41,527
They would do the police report

3174
01:22:41,527 --> 01:22:42,494
to enter the facts and

3175
01:22:42,494 --> 01:22:44,950
information of what occurred

3176
01:22:44,950 --> 01:22:45,997
and then students in that

3177
01:22:45,997 --> 01:22:48,660
juvenile through the diversion

3178
01:22:48,660 --> 01:22:50,903
program or else if it's a crime

3179
01:22:50,903 --> 01:22:51,870
that is it can be diverted but

3180
01:22:51,870 --> 01:22:53,638
based on that particular

3181
01:22:53,638 --> 01:22:55,541
juvenile history the officer

3182
01:22:55,541 --> 01:22:56,675
does not divert them that

3183
01:22:56,675 --> 01:22:58,410
juvenile within enter the

3184
01:22:58,410 --> 01:22:59,245
juvenile court process by way

3185
01:22:59,245 --> 01:23:01,245
of a petition.

3186
01:23:01,714 --> 01:23:03,150
Um this is governed by chapter

3187
01:23:03,150 --> 01:23:04,283
seven b of our north carolina

3188
01:23:04,283 --> 01:23:05,350
general statutes.

3189
01:23:05,350 --> 01:23:06,885
And would.

3190
01:23:06,885 --> 01:23:07,987
>> involve that child going to

3191
01:23:07,987 --> 01:23:09,121
the eighth floor of the

3192
01:23:09,121 --> 01:23:10,555
courthouse where a juvenile

3193
01:23:10,555 --> 01:23:11,858
district court judge would hear

3194
01:23:11,858 --> 01:23:13,858
that particular matter.

3195
01:23:14,260 --> 01:23:15,928
Um, it's important to state

3196
01:23:15,928 --> 01:23:18,928
here that these charges would

3197
01:23:18,931 --> 01:23:20,533
not automatically initiate a

3198
01:23:20,533 --> 01:23:21,634
neglect case against that

3199
01:23:21,634 --> 01:23:24,300
juvenile or their parent.

3200
01:23:24,300 --> 01:23:25,604
However, I will say that the

3201
01:23:25,604 --> 01:23:27,506
juvenile court system takes a

3202
01:23:27,506 --> 01:23:29,409
very global and holistic look

3203
01:23:29,409 --> 01:23:31,100
at each juvenile and there

3204
01:23:31,100 --> 01:23:32,912
could be any sort of crime

3205
01:23:32,912 --> 01:23:34,647
before a juvenile court judge

3206
01:23:34,647 --> 01:23:36,549
where that matter could end up

3207
01:23:36,549 --> 01:23:39,552
in a case where the family has

3208
01:23:39,552 --> 01:23:40,986
an open dss investigation for

3209
01:23:40,986 --> 01:23:42,421
abuse, neglect or any sort of

3210
01:23:42,421 --> 01:23:44,957
thing but it does not

3211
01:23:44,957 --> 01:23:47,270
automatically flow from a

3212
01:23:47,270 --> 01:23:47,360
curfew charge or any particular

3213
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,360
charge.

3214
01:23:49,562 --> 01:23:50,830
Um, our officers, our juvenile

3215
01:23:50,830 --> 01:23:53,660
court counselors, our district

3216
01:23:53,660 --> 01:23:54,967
court judges all have a duty to

3217
01:23:54,967 --> 01:23:56,402
report and if there were to be

3218
01:23:56,402 --> 01:23:58,304
something in the factual

3219
01:23:58,304 --> 01:23:59,438
circumstances uh, for example,

3220
01:23:59,438 --> 01:24:01,507
a curfew charge that required

3221
01:24:01,507 --> 01:24:02,308
reporting to dss, then that

3222
01:24:02,308 --> 01:24:04,177
would open a file.

3223
01:24:04,177 --> 01:24:05,779
But it is not an automatic part

3224
01:24:05,779 --> 01:24:07,347
of the juvenile arrest process.

3225
01:24:07,347 --> 01:24:08,448
Um, a big thing.

3226
01:24:08,448 --> 01:24:10,160
People think that when

3227
01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:11,618
juveniles are arrested it means

3228
01:24:11,618 --> 01:24:13,520
automatic handcuffs as the

3229
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:14,187
chief said that they are taken

3230
01:24:14,187 --> 01:24:16,550
to the sheriff's office.

3231
01:24:16,550 --> 01:24:17,323
They are not generally speaking

3232
01:24:17,323 --> 01:24:19,692
with a juvenile arrest.

3233
01:24:19,692 --> 01:24:21,427
The parent or guardian of that

3234
01:24:21,427 --> 01:24:23,497
juvenile is called to come and

3235
01:24:23,497 --> 01:24:24,931
get them and from there

3236
01:24:24,931 --> 01:24:25,899
diversion and petition

3237
01:24:25,899 --> 01:24:27,340
decisions are made about

3238
01:24:27,340 --> 01:24:28,301
whether that case will go to

3239
01:24:28,301 --> 01:24:30,670
court or be diverted.

3240
01:24:30,670 --> 01:24:32,720
Now sometimes when detained

3241
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,474
officers do have a legal

3242
01:24:34,474 --> 01:24:35,575
authority to use handcuffs on

3243
01:24:35,575 --> 01:24:37,177
juveniles depending on the

3244
01:24:37,177 --> 01:24:39,790
particular act committed on

3245
01:24:39,790 --> 01:24:39,413
that date in other factual

3246
01:24:39,413 --> 01:24:40,681
circumstances.

3247
01:24:40,681 --> 01:24:42,449
But the juvenile arrests

3248
01:24:42,449 --> 01:24:43,550
generally involves um the

3249
01:24:43,550 --> 01:24:44,985
juveniles parent or guardian

3250
01:24:44,985 --> 01:24:45,953
being called to pick them up

3251
01:24:45,953 --> 01:24:47,521
and if there's a secure.

3252
01:24:47,521 --> 01:24:48,956
Custody order then that

3253
01:24:48,956 --> 01:24:50,724
juvenile would be transported

3254
01:24:50,724 --> 01:24:51,258
to the secure facility after.

3255
01:24:51,258 --> 01:24:51,892
>> that.

3256
01:24:51,892 --> 01:24:53,760
Juvenile arrest.

3257
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:55,829
And with that I will turn it

3258
01:24:55,829 --> 01:24:58,966
over to doctor stewart to talk

3259
01:24:58,966 --> 01:24:59,333
about our spaces for youth

3260
01:24:59,333 --> 01:25:01,333
opportunities.

3261
01:25:03,370 --> 01:25:05,370
And evening mayor.

3262
01:25:05,572 --> 01:25:07,474

Over the next ten months.

Opportunity to.

3338
01:26:30,192 --> 01:26:31,893

3339
01:26:31,893 --> 01:26:32,600
That to my leadership, the goal

3340
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:32,361
is.

3341
01:26:32,361 --> 01:26:33,862

End of SEPTEMBER.

3344
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:37,499
This will give us an

3345
01:26:37,499 --> 01:26:39,567
opportunity to work with other

3346
01:26:39,567 --> 01:26:41,200
partners across the city to

3347
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:41,804
create additional third spaces

3348
01:26:41,804 --> 01:26:43,672
for youth.

3349
01:26:43,672 --> 01:26:45,740
And lastly, we have.

3350
01:26:45,740 --> 01:26:45,274
Already started working with

3351
01:26:45,274 --> 01:26:45,908

01:26:45,908 --> 01:26:47,900
And other.

3353
01:26:47,900 --> 01:26:48,877
Partners as it relates.

3354
01:26:48,877 --> 01:26:50,279
To teacher workdays because we.

3355
01:26:50,279 --> 01:26:51,446
Understand it's not.

3356
01:26:51,446 --> 01:26:52,414
>> just the weekends that the

3357
01:26:52,414 --> 01:26:53,348
youth need something to do.

3358
01:26:53,348 --> 01:26:54,449
It's not just after.

3359
01:26:54,449 --> 01:26:55,383
Is any time.

3360
01:26:55,383 --> 01:26:57,719
That they are left alone.

3361
01:26:57,719 --> 01:26:57,953
So the great thing about the

3362
01:26:57,953 --> 01:26:59,322
office.

3363
01:26:59,322 --> 01:26:59,722
>> of youth opportunity.

3364
01:26:59,722 --> 01:27:00,823
>> since.

3365
01:27:00,823 --> 01:27:02,224
Its inception is we have.

3366
01:27:02,224 --> 01:27:02,992
Looked at the child.

3367
01:27:02,992 --> 01:27:04,992
As a whole.

3368
01:27:05,194 --> 01:27:05,828
So we're not just looking to

3369
01:27:05,828 --> 01:27:06,762
give them somewhere to.

3370
01:27:06,762 --> 01:27:08,762
Go and play.

3371
01:27:09,598 --> 01:27:09,898
We're looking to give them

3372
01:27:09,898 --> 01:27:11,500
programing.

3373
01:27:11,500 --> 01:27:11,834
We're looking to give them

3374
01:27:11,834 --> 01:27:12,167
exposure.

3375
01:27:12,167 --> 01:27:13,235
We make.

3376
01:27:13,235 --> 01:27:15,604
Sure that our partners do.

3377
01:27:15,604 --> 01:27:16,271
Provide wraparound services and

3378
01:27:16,271 --> 01:27:17,340
provide mentorship.

3379
01:27:17,340 --> 01:27:18,441
So we will definitely.

3380
01:27:18,441 --> 01:27:19,208
Keep you posted on.

3381
01:27:19,208 --> 01:27:21,208
Our pilot.

3382
01:27:21,711 --> 01:27:23,312
And we will uh, let everyone

3383
01:27:23,312 --> 01:27:24,881
know when the grant.

3384
01:27:24,881 --> 01:27:26,282
Opportunity becomes available.

3385
01:27:26,282 --> 01:27:26,916
So I will turn it back over to.

3386
01:27:26,916 --> 01:27:28,916
Chief patterson.

3387
01:27:31,754 --> 01:27:32,354
Stewart.

3388
01:27:32,354 --> 01:27:33,923
>> and one final.

3389
01:27:33,923 --> 01:27:36,426
>> thing I would note is that

3390
01:27:36,426 --> 01:27:38,495
um, with the implementation of

3391
01:27:38,495 --> 01:27:40,697
this youth ordinance, if you so

3392
01:27:40,697 --> 01:27:41,498
desire, we will make sure that

3393
01:27:41,498 --> 01:27:42,765
we do a full.

3394
01:27:42,765 --> 01:27:43,866
Scale education.

3395
01:27:43,866 --> 01:27:45,568
Campaign regarding this.

3396
01:27:45,568 --> 01:27:47,470
Uh, we would want to make sure

3397
01:27:47,470 --> 01:27:47,970
that first foremost all our

3398
01:27:47,970 --> 01:27:49,538
officers will be.

3399
01:27:49,538 --> 01:27:50,506
Informed that again this is

3400
01:27:50,506 --> 01:27:51,308
just a tool to help.

3401
01:27:51,308 --> 01:27:53,900
us to.

3402
01:27:53,900 --> 01:27:53,677
Ensure that our young people

3403
01:27:53,677 --> 01:27:54,377
are safe and they're.

3404
01:27:54,377 --> 01:27:56,377
In safe spaces.

3405
01:27:57,514 --> 01:27:59,249
Additionally, any interaction

3406
01:27:59,249 --> 01:28:00,683
that our officers would have

3407
01:28:00,683 --> 01:28:01,951
with any member of the youth as

3408
01:28:01,951 --> 01:28:02,919
is our policy right now.

3409
01:28:02,919 --> 01:28:04,153
They have to wear their.

3410
01:28:04,153 --> 01:28:05,755
Body worn cameras so we would

3411
01:28:05,755 --> 01:28:07,323
be able to track information.

3412
01:28:07,323 --> 01:28:10,323
To ensure that this is.

3413
01:28:10,427 --> 01:28:12,496
Applied fairly equitably across

3414
01:28:12,496 --> 01:28:14,970
the city and again that those

3415
01:28:14,970 --> 01:28:15,532
exceptions that are in place

3416
01:28:15,532 --> 01:28:17,334
would be considered and would

3417
01:28:17,334 --> 01:28:19,302
be part of this ordinance.

3418
01:28:19,302 --> 01:28:19,803
So with that I will open.

3419
01:28:19,803 --> 01:28:20,700
>> it up.

3420
01:28:20,700 --> 01:28:20,804
For any.

3421
01:28:20,804 --> 01:28:21,571
>> questions that you.

3422
01:28:21,571 --> 01:28:23,306
>> MAY have of us.

3423
01:28:23,306 --> 01:28:25,175
Concerning any of this.

Telling us is that we have

01:29:05,449 --> 01:29:06,584
And when we look at the

3454
01:29:06,584 --> 01:29:06,918
percentages one I think it's

3455
01:29:06,918 --> 01:29:07,852
just.

3456
01:29:07,852 --> 01:29:09,852
We should.

3457
01:29:09,887 --> 01:29:11,887
>> note that 91%.

3458
01:29:12,690 --> 01:29:15,920
Throughout the night and into

3459
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:15,893
the early morning are people of

3460
01:29:15,893 --> 01:29:16,360
youth or of color.

3461
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,360
I'm sorry.

3462
01:29:18,529 --> 01:29:20,765
Um, are black and brown

3463
01:29:20,765 --> 01:29:22,834
children I think which is from

3464
01:29:22,834 --> 01:29:24,235
what we hear is a concern.

3465
01:29:24,235 --> 01:29:24,435
So how do we get this number

3466
01:29:24,435 --> 01:29:25,937
down?

3467
01:29:25,937 --> 01:29:26,504
How do we work to get it down?

3468
01:29:26,504 --> 01:29:26,938
>> so I'm sorry.

3469
01:29:26,938 --> 01:29:27,572
>> I just.

3470
01:29:27,572 --> 01:29:27,772
>> want to make sure I'm.

3471
01:29:27,772 --> 01:29:29,106
Clear.

3472
01:29:29,106 --> 01:29:30,241
>> this light this dark blue is

3473
01:29:30,241 --> 01:29:31,175
total victims.

3474
01:29:31,175 --> 01:29:33,544
This light blue that says age

3475
01:29:33,544 --> 01:29:33,811
of 16 to 17 is that victims or

3476
01:29:33,811 --> 01:29:34,679
offenders?

3477
01:29:34,679 --> 01:29:35,746
These are.

3478
01:29:35,746 --> 01:29:37,616
Victims okay?

3479
01:29:37,616 --> 01:29:37,830
This is all victimization okay

3480
01:29:37,830 --> 01:29:38,717
?

3481
01:29:38,717 --> 01:29:40,717
Yes ma'am.

3482
01:29:40,752 --> 01:29:43,621
And so and if I could just

3483
01:29:43,621 --> 01:29:45,423
break it down for you so from 9

3484
01:29:45,423 --> 01:29:45,657
P.M. To 5:59 A.M. We had 431

3485
01:29:45,657 --> 01:29:47,657
victims.

3486
01:29:47,959 --> 01:29:50,495
These are actual victims of

3487
01:29:50,495 --> 01:29:53,197
crimes during that time period

3488
01:29:53,197 --> 01:29:54,166
from 10 P.M. To 6 A.M. The

3489
01:29:54,166 --> 01:29:57,766
number shrinks a little bit but

3490
01:29:59,204 --> 01:29:59,404
we had 300 and then from 11

3491
01:29:59,404 --> 01:29:59,704
P.M..

3492
01:29:59,704 --> 01:29:59,838
>> to.

3493
01:29:59,838 --> 01:30:00,105
6.

3494
01:30:00,105 --> 01:30:01,339
A.M..

3495
01:30:01,339 --> 01:30:03,339
266 victims.

3496
01:30:04,943 --> 01:30:06,211
And so at 9 P.M. From 9 P.M. To

3497
01:30:06,211 --> 01:30:07,779
6 A.M., 127.

3498
01:30:07,779 --> 01:30:09,779
Of these total.

3499
01:30:10,748 --> 01:30:11,115
Victims are aged 16 and 17.

3500
01:30:11,115 --> 01:30:11,850
Yes, ma'am.

3501
01:30:11,850 --> 01:30:13,252
>> and then.

3502
01:30:13,252 --> 01:30:13,785
At 11.

3503
01:30:13,785 --> 01:30:15,187
>> P.M..

3504
01:30:15,187 --> 01:30:15,821
That number is 77.

3505
01:30:15,821 --> 01:30:17,821
So basically the.

3506
01:30:18,490 --> 01:30:18,990
Difference between 122.

3507
01:30:18,990 --> 01:30:19,291
>> and 77 is.

3508
01:30:19,291 --> 01:30:19,725
What you're.

3509
01:30:19,725 --> 01:30:21,226
>> saying we.

3510
01:30:21,226 --> 01:30:21,826
Will you're hoping to reduce.

3511
01:30:21,826 --> 01:30:22,761
Yes ma'am.

3512
01:30:22,761 --> 01:30:24,280
Victimization and.

3513
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:25,297
>> then that percentage as well

3514
01:30:25,297 --> 01:30:27,198
trying to get that number down

3515
01:30:27,198 --> 01:30:27,699
as low as possible to protect

3516
01:30:27,699 --> 01:30:29,602
our youth.

3517
01:30:29,602 --> 01:30:31,503
And can you just a quick follow

3518
01:30:31,503 --> 01:30:31,804
up can you then help me

3519
01:30:31,804 --> 01:30:33,804
understand.

3520
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:35,607
Uh the reason I'm asking this

3521
01:30:35,607 --> 01:30:36,575
question because I think about

3522
01:30:36,575 --> 01:30:37,710
the alternatives to violence

3523
01:30:37,710 --> 01:30:38,177
work that we're doing.

3524
01:30:38,177 --> 01:30:38,977
>> and so.

3525
01:30:38,977 --> 01:30:40,977
My immediate question

3526
01:30:41,980 --> 01:30:44,150
especially as I see 81 gun here

3527
01:30:44,150 --> 01:30:45,484
is how many of those are

3528
01:30:45,484 --> 01:30:47,484
addressed through that

3529
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:49,288
retaliatory violence piece

3530
01:30:49,288 --> 01:30:50,523
versus through the curfew.

3531
01:30:50,523 --> 01:30:51,691
I'm still not quite clear on

3532
01:30:51,691 --> 01:30:52,291
the mechanism.

3533
01:30:52,291 --> 01:30:54,291
That's changing.

3534
01:30:55,940 --> 01:30:56,828
So our desire our goal is that

3535
01:30:56,828 --> 01:30:59,198
we get that number down.

3536
01:30:59,198 --> 01:30:59,365
The number of victims of crime

3537
01:30:59,365 --> 01:31:00,299
.

3538
01:31:00,299 --> 01:31:00,699
As well.

3539
01:31:00,699 --> 01:31:01,633
>> as.

3540
01:31:01,633 --> 01:31:01,834
Offenders of crime that are

3541
01:31:01,834 --> 01:31:03,402
youth.

3542
01:31:03,402 --> 01:31:04,203
And so I think for us is just

3543
01:31:04,203 --> 01:31:06,203
being able to.

3544
01:31:06,239 --> 01:31:06,739
You know, knowing that when you

3545
01:31:06,739 --> 01:31:07,273
throw out.

3546
01:31:07,273 --> 01:31:09,800
>> a.

3547
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:10,443
Theory is when they are out

3548
01:31:10,443 --> 01:31:12,843
then they're being victimized

3549
01:31:13,446 --> 01:31:13,813
and some are also causing um

3550
01:31:13,813 --> 01:31:15,347
victimization.

3551
01:31:15,347 --> 01:31:17,830
so we would like to reduce both

3552
01:31:17,830 --> 01:31:18,517
of those the curfew we believe

3553
01:31:18,517 --> 01:31:19,652
would help us to do that

3554
01:31:19,652 --> 01:31:19,852
because when youth are out

3555
01:31:19,852 --> 01:31:21,254
then.

3556
01:31:21,254 --> 01:31:22,222
They're getting in trouble but

3557
01:31:22,222 --> 01:31:23,823
when they're not out they're

3558
01:31:23,823 --> 01:31:25,823
not um victimizing.

3559
01:31:26,459 --> 01:31:28,610
And then just too quickly we

3560
01:31:28,610 --> 01:31:28,394
and I asked this last time but

3561
01:31:28,394 --> 01:31:30,129
I'm.

3562
01:31:30,129 --> 01:31:30,330
Hoping that maybe we can dig

3563
01:31:30,330 --> 01:31:31,698
into.

3564
01:31:31,698 --> 01:31:32,999
>> a little bit deeper here

3565
01:31:32,999 --> 01:31:34,634
right now the sun sets

3566
01:31:34,634 --> 01:31:35,535
somewhere between 8 and 9.

3567
01:31:35,535 --> 01:31:37,269
We know in the winter time it's

3568
01:31:37,269 --> 01:31:37,637
going to be somewhere between 4

3569
01:31:37,637 --> 01:31:39,637
and 5:00.

3570
01:31:41,740 --> 01:31:42,175
What is the what is the thought

3571
01:31:42,175 --> 01:31:43,176
process during the winter time

3572
01:31:43,176 --> 01:31:43,944
of how this applies?

3573
01:31:43,944 --> 01:31:45,511
>> do we.

3574
01:31:45,511 --> 01:31:45,845
Are there tell me what your

3575
01:31:45,845 --> 01:31:47,845
thoughts are.

3576
01:31:48,515 --> 01:31:50,250
Yeah so you know we want to be

3577
01:31:50,250 --> 01:31:51,985
reasonable with the time that

3578
01:31:51,985 --> 01:31:53,753
we set this curfew right based

3579
01:31:53,753 --> 01:31:56,256
on what our data shows us.

3580
01:31:56,256 --> 01:31:57,357
Um, you know, at 9 P.M. You

3581
01:31:57,357 --> 01:31:59,357
have more victims.

3582
01:31:59,392 --> 01:32:00,360
So we certainly felt like 8

3583
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:01,795
P.M. Was unreasonable.

3584
01:32:01,795 --> 01:32:03,997
We looked at other cities what

3585
01:32:03,997 --> 01:32:05,765
they're doing just to benchmark

3586
01:32:05,765 --> 01:32:08,765
um, I believe firmly that.

3587
01:32:09,636 --> 01:32:11,104
If we go with a 9 P.M. Curfew

3588
01:32:11,104 --> 01:32:13,306
that is enough time that if you

3589
01:32:13,306 --> 01:32:15,242
start to gather they start to,

3590
01:32:15,242 --> 01:32:15,409
um, congregate we can dismantle

3591
01:32:15,409 --> 01:32:17,409
it.

3592
01:32:18,450 --> 01:32:19,647
We can prevent them from having

3593
01:32:19,647 --> 01:32:21,810
um, harmful events or being

3594
01:32:21,810 --> 01:32:21,915
engaged in something that could

3595
01:32:21,915 --> 01:32:22,316
where they victimize.

3596
01:32:22,316 --> 01:32:23,383
Or they.

3597
01:32:23,383 --> 01:32:25,118
>> can be victimize.

3598
01:32:25,118 --> 01:32:25,919
I don't know if I'm answering

3599
01:32:25,919 --> 01:32:27,387
your question fully.

3600
01:32:27,387 --> 01:32:29,787
Well for the summertime.

3601
01:32:29,990 --> 01:32:31,125
sure in the winter time that's

3602
01:32:31,125 --> 01:32:32,693
4 or 5 hours where youth would

3603
01:32:32,693 --> 01:32:34,128
still be permitted to be out

3604
01:32:34,128 --> 01:32:34,328
but it is also dark and people

3605
01:32:34,328 --> 01:32:35,263
.

3606
01:32:35,263 --> 01:32:37,263
Are likely inside.

3607
01:32:37,765 --> 01:32:39,500
So I'm just curious as to how

3608
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:41,568
we're thinking about how this

3609
01:32:41,568 --> 01:32:41,935
applies during the winter

3610
01:32:41,935 --> 01:32:42,136
months.

3611
01:32:42,136 --> 01:32:43,103
Sure.

3612
01:32:43,103 --> 01:32:44,671
>> I think in the winter months

3613
01:32:44,671 --> 01:32:45,339
as you stated people tend to be

3614
01:32:45,339 --> 01:32:46,390
inside more.

3615
01:32:46,390 --> 01:32:47,641
I think there's more

3616
01:32:47,641 --> 01:32:48,776
opportunities for happy to have

3617
01:32:48,776 --> 01:32:50,440
events for our youth,

3618
01:32:50,440 --> 01:32:51,312
meaningful events, things that

3619
01:32:51,312 --> 01:32:52,447
they can do so they they are

3620
01:32:52,447 --> 01:32:53,381
not outside.

3621
01:32:53,381 --> 01:32:54,181
They're not out during that.

3622
01:32:54,181 --> 01:32:54,482
Time.

3623
01:32:54,482 --> 01:32:56,500
Okay.

3624
01:32:56,500 --> 01:32:56,384
And then just finally are you

3625
01:32:56,384 --> 01:32:58,285
suggesting.

3626
01:32:58,285 --> 01:33:00,287
As part of your proposal.

3627
01:33:00,287 --> 01:33:02,656
>> a pilot to gather data?

3628
01:33:02,656 --> 01:33:03,757
Are you suggesting full on

3629
01:33:03,757 --> 01:33:05,292
implementation at the start.

3630
01:33:05,292 --> 01:33:05,459
We would like an implementation

3631
01:33:05,459 --> 01:33:06,728
.

3632
01:33:06,728 --> 01:33:07,395
I think a pilot is something

3633
01:33:07,395 --> 01:33:08,930
that could be.

3634
01:33:08,930 --> 01:33:09,898
Considered especially if we

3635
01:33:09,898 --> 01:33:11,832
want to get substantive data.

3636
01:33:11,832 --> 01:33:12,900
I think that's an opportunity

3637
01:33:12,900 --> 01:33:14,302
for us to do that.

3638
01:33:14,302 --> 01:33:14,635
Thank you thank you.

3639
01:33:14,635 --> 01:33:15,870
Great.

3640
01:33:15,870 --> 01:33:16,537
>> and uh next is council

3641
01:33:16,537 --> 01:33:18,537
member mayo.

3642
01:33:18,773 --> 01:33:18,906
Um thank you doctor watlington

3643
01:33:18,906 --> 01:33:20,641
.

3644
01:33:20,641 --> 01:33:22,710
And that was sort of thinking

3645
01:33:22,710 --> 01:33:25,113
time that was 3 or 4 minutes.

3646
01:33:25,113 --> 01:33:26,715
Um if we could try to keep our

3647
01:33:26,715 --> 01:33:28,149
comments and try not to be too

3648
01:33:28,149 --> 01:33:29,718
repetitive redundant um, but

3649
01:33:29,718 --> 01:33:30,685
also keep our comments

3650
01:33:30,685 --> 01:33:32,153
somewhere in that range I think

3651
01:33:32,153 --> 01:33:33,388
we can um, have a.

3652
01:33:33,388 --> 01:33:33,888
Good discussion of an important

3653
01:33:33,888 --> 01:33:34,989
issue so.

3654
01:33:34,989 --> 01:33:35,457
You know, for me.

3655
01:33:35,457 --> 01:33:35,924
Thank you.

3656
01:33:35,924 --> 01:33:36,624
Um.

3657
01:33:36,624 --> 01:33:37,859
>> I've asked.

3658
01:33:37,859 --> 01:33:38,259
That the map be.

3659
01:33:38,259 --> 01:33:39,360
Shown for.

3660
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:39,627
>> district three.

3661
01:33:39,627 --> 01:33:40,695
Um.

3662
01:33:40,695 --> 01:33:42,264
>> and I'm sure some of my.

3663
01:33:42,264 --> 01:33:43,532
Colleagues MAY want their

3664
01:33:43,532 --> 01:33:45,233
district map shown as well but.

3665
01:33:45,233 --> 01:33:45,433
I thought this is really good

3666
01:33:45,433 --> 01:33:46,935
data.

3667
01:33:46,935 --> 01:33:47,402
Um, this is something I've.

3668
01:33:47,402 --> 01:33:47,869
>> been.

3669
01:33:47,869 --> 01:33:49,869
Talking about.

3670
01:33:50,839 --> 01:33:52,874
Probably almost ten years.

3671
01:33:52,874 --> 01:33:53,107
Since I first moved to orleans

3672
01:33:53,107 --> 01:33:54,843
forward.

3673
01:33:54,843 --> 01:33:55,430
Um, and I know this is an all

3674
01:33:55,430 --> 01:33:56,144
city.

3675
01:33:56,144 --> 01:33:56,945
Investment, but I just want us

3676
01:33:56,945 --> 01:33:57,879
to be thoughtful.

3677
01:33:57,879 --> 01:33:58,747
Holistically.

3678
01:33:58,747 --> 01:33:59,882
>> particularly when we're

3679
01:33:59,882 --> 01:34:01,500
talking about young people.

3680
01:34:01,500 --> 01:34:01,984
You know, we want to equip.

3681
01:34:01,984 --> 01:34:02,918
You with with.

3682
01:34:02,918 --> 01:34:04,786
Everything that you need.

3683
01:34:04,786 --> 01:34:06,355
>> in order to decrease.

3684
01:34:06,355 --> 01:34:06,922
Victimization, uh, for our.

3685
01:34:06,922 --> 01:34:07,923
>> young people.

3686
01:34:07,923 --> 01:34:08,323
But how.

3687
01:34:08,323 --> 01:34:08,690
>> can.

3688
01:34:08,690 --> 01:34:09,910
We also.

3689
01:34:09,910 --> 01:34:11,910
Encourage our.

3690
01:34:11,426 --> 01:34:11,927
County counterparts to help do

3691
01:34:11,927 --> 01:34:13,428

01:34:13,428 --> 01:34:13,928
MISTER Manager be able to get

3693
01:34:13,928 --> 01:34:15,797
that up there?

3694
01:34:15,797 --> 01:34:16,932
Sorry we talked about it

3695
01:34:16,932 --> 01:34:18,467
earlier so okay.

3696
01:34:18,467 --> 01:34:19,568
Should I come back?

3697
01:34:19,568 --> 01:34:19,902
>> y'all come back to me.

3698
01:34:19,902 --> 01:34:20,569
Okay.

3699
01:34:20,569 --> 01:34:20,836
>> we'll do that.

3700
01:34:20,836 --> 01:34:22,700
Okay.

3701
01:34:22,700 --> 01:34:22,871
uh, council member edgemere.

3702
01:34:22,871 --> 01:34:24,440
Will come back.

And thank you.

3704
01:34:24,940 --> 01:34:26,909
Mayor harrington.

3705
01:34:26,909 --> 01:34:28,343
You're doing an excellent job.

3706
01:34:28,343 --> 01:34:29,444
Keeping track of all the hands

3707
01:34:29,444 --> 01:34:30,712
that's been raised.

3708
01:34:30,712 --> 01:34:31,130
Y'all are helping.

3709
01:34:31,130 --> 01:34:33,130
Um.

3710
01:34:34,283 --> 01:34:34,584
First chief, thank you for your

3711
01:34:34,584 --> 01:34:36,584
leadership.

3712
01:34:36,686 --> 01:34:37,190
I understand that you are

3713
01:34:37,190 --> 01:34:37,953
asking for.

3714
01:34:37,953 --> 01:34:39,953
A tool.

3715
01:34:40,756 --> 01:34:42,658
In the case where there is a

3716
01:34:42,658 --> 01:34:43,250
teen takeover that could turn

3717
01:34:43,250 --> 01:34:45,250
violent.

3718
01:34:48,630 --> 01:34:49,932
Um, I certainly appreciate and

3719
01:34:49,932 --> 01:34:51,932
respect your leadership.

3720
01:34:54,771 --> 01:34:58,407
I would like to see if we can

3721
01:34:58,407 --> 01:34:59,842
do a pilot to gather data and

3722
01:34:59,842 --> 01:35:01,110
then based on the data it will

3723
01:35:01,110 --> 01:35:03,120
tell us whether this is

3724
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:03,979
something that will work in our

3725
01:35:03,979 --> 01:35:04,447
region or not.

3726
01:35:04,447 --> 01:35:05,548
Right.

3727
01:35:05,548 --> 01:35:07,548
Because your.

3728
01:35:08,685 --> 01:35:10,420
Department and alongside doctor

3729
01:35:10,420 --> 01:35:12,820
stewart's office gave us.

3730
01:35:13,890 --> 01:35:14,570
Studies and I appreciate that

3731
01:35:14,570 --> 01:35:16,457
he was objective right.

3732
01:35:16,693 --> 01:35:17,994
It was an all pro curfew wasn't

3733
01:35:17,994 --> 01:35:19,429
all the entire curfew was

3734
01:35:19,429 --> 01:35:20,530
somewhere in the middle right.

3735
01:35:20,530 --> 01:35:21,764
We had some.

3736
01:35:21,764 --> 01:35:21,998
Studies that shows mixed

3737
01:35:21,998 --> 01:35:23,320
results.

3738
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:24,767
There were.

3739
01:35:24,767 --> 01:35:25,101
>> some studies that shows it

3740
01:35:25,101 --> 01:35:26,370
works.

3741
01:35:26,370 --> 01:35:27,137
So for us.

3742
01:35:27,137 --> 01:35:29,137
>> to really.

3743
01:35:32,909 --> 01:35:34,510
Not have an objective study

3744
01:35:34,510 --> 01:35:36,510
done, I think.

3745
01:35:36,546 --> 01:35:37,513
Our data can tell us whether

3746
01:35:37,513 --> 01:35:38,915
this will work or not.

3747
01:35:38,915 --> 01:35:40,316
So my question.

3748
01:35:40,316 --> 01:35:41,150
>> to you is would you be

3749
01:35:41,150 --> 01:35:44,150
willing to do a pilot.

3750
01:35:44,722 --> 01:35:48,322
Program and see whether we are

3751
01:35:49,593 --> 01:35:51,610
able to see improvement in teen

3752
01:35:51,610 --> 01:35:53,229
takeovers that turn violent?

3753
01:35:53,229 --> 01:35:53,430
Yes ma'am and thank you for

3754
01:35:53,430 --> 01:35:54,598
that.

3755
01:35:54,598 --> 01:35:55,650
I will be willing to do

3756
01:35:55,650 --> 01:35:55,732
something like that.

3757
01:35:55,732 --> 01:35:56,967
I think it is.

3758
01:35:56,967 --> 01:35:58,368
Reasonable and it.

3759
01:35:58,368 --> 01:35:59,502
Allows us in real time to be

3760
01:35:59,502 --> 01:36:00,770
able to see is this something

3761
01:36:00,770 --> 01:36:02,373
that would be effective here in

3762
01:36:02,373 --> 01:36:03,400
charlotte especially based on

3763
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:04,608
what we're seeing?

3764
01:36:04,608 --> 01:36:06,176
I don't think that we can as I

3765
01:36:06,176 --> 01:36:06,543
stated before, just rely on the

3766
01:36:06,543 --> 01:36:06,844
studies.

3767
01:36:06,844 --> 01:36:08,780
Um.

3768
01:36:08,780 --> 01:36:09,790
>> they're in different parts

3769
01:36:09,790 --> 01:36:10,948
of the nation.

3770
01:36:10,948 --> 01:36:13,348
They are 2030 years old.

3771
01:36:13,450 --> 01:36:14,251
I think we can get real data if

3772
01:36:14,251 --> 01:36:15,519
we look here in.

3773
01:36:15,519 --> 01:36:15,986
Charlotte and.

3774
01:36:15,986 --> 01:36:16,453
>> and do.

3775
01:36:16,453 --> 01:36:18,155
A pilot.

3776
01:36:18,155 --> 01:36:20,155
I appreciate that.

3777
01:36:20,658 --> 01:36:22,727
I would like us to explore that

3778
01:36:22,727 --> 01:36:24,795
alternative uh, so that we are

3779
01:36:24,795 --> 01:36:25,896
looking at real data that is

3780
01:36:25,896 --> 01:36:27,896
local.

3781
01:36:28,265 --> 01:36:28,599
Uh, also doctor stewart, I

3782
01:36:28,599 --> 01:36:28,999
appreciate.

3783
01:36:28,999 --> 01:36:30,401
>> the.

3784
01:36:30,401 --> 01:36:30,667
Report that your team put

3785
01:36:30,667 --> 01:36:32,667
together.

3786
01:36:34,805 --> 01:36:36,541
Uh, I appreciate have office of

3787
01:36:36,541 --> 01:36:38,541
youth opportunities have.

3788
01:36:39,510 --> 01:36:41,112
Touched over 5000 lives and I

3789
01:36:41,112 --> 01:36:41,446
know that we are not going to

3790
01:36:41,446 --> 01:36:42,713
stop here.

3791
01:36:42,713 --> 01:36:43,514
We are going to continue to

3792
01:36:43,514 --> 01:36:45,383
increase our investments.

3793
01:36:45,383 --> 01:36:46,984
But I just want to give kudos

3794
01:36:46,984 --> 01:36:49,220
to you and your team because I

3795
01:36:49,220 --> 01:36:52,356
know this is relatively a new

3796
01:36:52,356 --> 01:36:53,491
team that was uh that was part

3797
01:36:53,491 --> 01:36:55,993
of our last year's budget.

3798
01:36:55,993 --> 01:36:56,494
So I appreciate the work that

3799
01:36:56,494 --> 01:36:58,494
you do.

3800
01:36:59,931 --> 01:37:01,366
I was myself alongside council

3801
01:37:01,366 --> 01:37:03,735

3802
01:37:03,735 --> 01:37:05,803

engagement event last weekend

3804
01:37:09,273 --> 01:37:11,810
and this topic had come up and

3805
01:37:11,810 --> 01:37:13,879
I met two youth members who had

3806
01:37:13,879 --> 01:37:14,679
participated in some of our

3807
01:37:14,679 --> 01:37:15,180
programs and they had great

3808
01:37:15,180 --> 01:37:16,881
things to say.

3809
01:37:16,881 --> 01:37:17,549
So thank you for all the work

3810
01:37:17,549 --> 01:37:18,950
that you are doing.

3811
01:37:18,950 --> 01:37:19,350

3830
01:37:36,670 --> 01:37:36,868
Weekend with a constituent.

3831
01:37:36,868 --> 01:37:38,436
Who MAY or MAY.

3832
01:37:38,436 --> 01:37:38,604
Not be one of my three children

3833
01:37:38,604 --> 01:37:39,700
.

3834
01:37:39,700 --> 01:37:41,700
Um.

3835
01:37:41,573 --> 01:37:42,273
>> about the curfew.

3836
01:37:42,273 --> 01:37:43,541
>> and his.

3837
01:37:43,541 --> 01:37:43,708
Question to me was one I could

3838
01:37:43,708 --> 01:37:45,708
not.

3839
01:37:46,679 --> 01:37:48,547
Answer and he said to me why.

3840
01:37:48,547 --> 01:37:49,515
Don't you do what they do?

3841
01:37:49,515 --> 01:37:50,449
Would we go on?

3842
01:37:50,449 --> 01:37:50,983
Um.

3843
01:37:50,983 --> 01:37:51,450
>> you.

3844
01:37:51,450 --> 01:37:51,651
Know.

3845
01:37:51,651 --> 01:37:52,500
.

3846
01:37:52,500 --> 01:37:52,651
Spring break.

3847
01:37:52,651 --> 01:37:53,585
And they've.

3848
01:37:53,585 --> 01:37:54,860
Got rules.

3849
01:37:54,860 --> 01:37:55,253
>> that are.

3850
01:37:55,253 --> 01:37:55,587
Focused on the size of a

3851
01:37:55,587 --> 01:37:57,220
congregation.

3852
01:37:57,220 --> 01:37:57,622
They're focused on a gathering.

3853
01:37:57,622 --> 01:37:59,558
They are focused.

3854
01:37:59,558 --> 01:38:01,558
>> on enforcing curfew.

3855
01:38:02,227 --> 01:38:02,561
Against a mass and you know,

3856
01:38:02,561 --> 01:38:02,961
depending.

3857
01:38:02,961 --> 01:38:03,596
>> on.

3858
01:38:03,596 --> 01:38:04,997
What number.

3859
01:38:04,997 --> 01:38:06,650
Perhaps we settle.

3860
01:38:06,650 --> 01:38:08,434
>> on so that we're.

3861
01:38:08,434 --> 01:38:08,634
Not potentially putting at

3862
01:38:08,634 --> 01:38:10,350
risk.

3863
01:38:10,350 --> 01:38:11,103
Kids who are out on a date.

3864
01:38:11,103 --> 01:38:12,710
And kids who are coming.

3865
01:38:12,710 --> 01:38:14,720
To and from events.

3866
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:15,107
Can you address that?

3867
01:38:15,107 --> 01:38:15,407
I haven't had an opportunity.

3868
01:38:15,407 --> 01:38:15,574
>> to.

3869
01:38:15,574 --> 01:38:15,874
Do.

3870
01:38:15,874 --> 01:38:17,442
My own.

3871
01:38:17,442 --> 01:38:18,210
>> research on whether some of

3872
01:38:18,210 --> 01:38:18,577
these things that.

3873
01:38:18,577 --> 01:38:20,577
You see.

3874
01:38:20,747 --> 01:38:21,800
In destin or some of the the

3875
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:22,548
destinations.

3876
01:38:22,548 --> 01:38:22,849
Where people do congregate,

3877
01:38:22,849 --> 01:38:24,584
where they.

3878
01:38:24,584 --> 01:38:26,352
Are effectively able to break.

3879
01:38:26,352 --> 01:38:26,719
>> up large masses of

3880
01:38:26,719 --> 01:38:27,720
unaccompanied.

3881
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:28,120
Minors can you.

3882
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:29,188
Speak to that?

3883
01:38:29,188 --> 01:38:29,989
>> and I will.

3884
01:38:29,989 --> 01:38:31,557
Try um.

3885
01:38:31,557 --> 01:38:32,625
>> I'm not sure totally that

3886
01:38:32,625 --> 01:38:32,825
I'm understanding.

3887
01:38:32,825 --> 01:38:34,393
.

3888
01:38:34,393 --> 01:38:35,194
>> the question would be that

3889
01:38:35,194 --> 01:38:37,363
it would be a.

3890
01:38:37,363 --> 01:38:37,730
Curfew that was tailored more

3891
01:38:37,730 --> 01:38:39,666
against.

3892
01:38:39,666 --> 01:38:41,301
A congregation.

3893
01:38:41,301 --> 01:38:41,801
I've heard you use the phrase

3894
01:38:41,801 --> 01:38:42,135
congregation gathering.

3895
01:38:42,135 --> 01:38:44,135
It feels.

3896
01:38:44,170 --> 01:38:46,380
Like to narrowly tailor this.

3897
01:38:46,380 --> 01:38:47,607
So that we're not just not.

3898
01:38:47,607 --> 01:38:50,700
Enforcing it against kids.

3899
01:38:50,109 --> 01:38:50,609
The face of this would enforce

3900
01:38:50,609 --> 01:38:51,777
it against a.

3901
01:38:51,777 --> 01:38:52,244
people on a.

3902
01:38:52,244 --> 01:38:52,678
>> date and.

3903
01:38:52,678 --> 01:38:53,120
>> a movie.

3904
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,120
Goes long.

3905
01:38:55,214 --> 01:38:56,650
Okay, you're saying to me that

3906
01:38:56,650 --> 01:38:57,217
you would not expect your.

3907
01:38:57,217 --> 01:38:57,651
Officers nor.

3908
01:38:57,651 --> 01:38:59,850
>> do.

3909
01:38:59,850 --> 01:38:59,552
You have adequate officers to

3910
01:38:59,552 --> 01:39:00,120
enforce that.

3911
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:00,720
>> is a.

3912
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:02,720
Curfew police.

3913
01:39:03,890 --> 01:39:03,256
Can we more narrowly tailored

3914
01:39:03,256 --> 01:39:04,357
the.

3915
01:39:04,357 --> 01:39:05,625
Curfew such that it.

3916
01:39:05,625 --> 01:39:07,794
Wouldn't apply to two.

3917
01:39:07,794 --> 01:39:09,950
Couples who are out on a date

3918
01:39:09,950 --> 01:39:11,264
versus a group of.

3919
01:39:11,264 --> 01:39:11,597
Ten individuals who are under

3920
01:39:11,597 --> 01:39:13,500
age?

3921
01:39:13,500 --> 01:39:13,834
So you're really targeting more

3922
01:39:13,834 --> 01:39:15,702
of the.

3923
01:39:15,702 --> 01:39:16,360
Congregation aspect than just

3924
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:16,670
the age.

3925
01:39:16,670 --> 01:39:18,710
Sure.

3926
01:39:18,710 --> 01:39:19,372
>> so if I understand you

3927
01:39:19,372 --> 01:39:20,807
correctly so we're saying that

3928
01:39:20,807 --> 01:39:21,608
if you have youth that are

3929
01:39:21,608 --> 01:39:22,576
gathered in a particular area

3930
01:39:22,576 --> 01:39:24,576
of the uptown.

3931
01:39:25,712 --> 01:39:26,980
Perhaps um just focus in just

3932
01:39:26,980 --> 01:39:27,213
in that area is what you're

3933
01:39:27,213 --> 01:39:27,647
saying.

3934
01:39:27,647 --> 01:39:28,281
Look.

3935
01:39:28,281 --> 01:39:29,215
>> it was just.

3936
01:39:29,215 --> 01:39:29,816
Specifically speaking of that.

3937
01:39:29,816 --> 01:39:31,385
Area although that's.

3938
01:39:31,385 --> 01:39:31,752
Another way of narrowly

3939
01:39:31,752 --> 01:39:32,219
tailoring.

3940
01:39:32,219 --> 01:39:32,686
>> it if.

3941
01:39:32,686 --> 01:39:33,854
You wanted.

3942
01:39:33,854 --> 01:39:35,923
>> to have it on certain areas

3943
01:39:35,923 --> 01:39:36,723
of the city where are more

3944
01:39:36,723 --> 01:39:37,190
frequently occupied.

3945
01:39:37,190 --> 01:39:38,125
I was.

3946
01:39:38,125 --> 01:39:39,226
>> speaking more.

3947
01:39:39,226 --> 01:39:40,627
>> to say you've got.

3948
01:39:40,627 --> 01:39:42,290
Ten youth are together.

3949
01:39:42,290 --> 01:39:43,897
Your officers are going to.

3950
01:39:43,897 --> 01:39:45,665
Ask them what's up and enforce

3951
01:39:45,665 --> 01:39:47,534
the curfew versus.

3952
01:39:47,534 --> 01:39:48,969
A couple kids on a date and go

3953
01:39:48,969 --> 01:39:49,169
see a movie that last past

3954
01:39:49,169 --> 01:39:51,169
nine.

3955
01:39:52,139 --> 01:39:52,606
I mean I just I personally.

3956
01:39:52,606 --> 01:39:53,374
>> couldn't.

3957
01:39:53,374 --> 01:39:54,708
Answer the question that was.

3958
01:39:54,708 --> 01:39:55,175
Raised of me as to.

3959
01:39:55,175 --> 01:39:56,110
>> are.

3960
01:39:56,110 --> 01:39:57,911
We exploring all ways.

3961
01:39:57,911 --> 01:39:58,245
>> that we could more narrowly

3962
01:39:58,245 --> 01:39:59,646
tailor this.

3963
01:39:59,646 --> 01:40:00,447
And have it.

3964
01:40:00,447 --> 01:40:01,810
Address what we're really

3965
01:40:01,810 --> 01:40:02,182
trying to get at.

3966
01:40:02,182 --> 01:40:03,116
>> which is gatherings?

3967
01:40:03,116 --> 01:40:04,684
Sure, yes.

3968
01:40:04,684 --> 01:40:06,454
And I would say that you know,

3969
01:40:06,454 --> 01:40:08,220
we thought as the beginning

3970
01:40:08,220 --> 01:40:09,323
stages of this we thought about

3971
01:40:09,323 --> 01:40:10,658
locations where we have tend to

3972
01:40:10,658 --> 01:40:11,992
see the teen takeovers.

3973
01:40:11,992 --> 01:40:13,427
The problem with that is

3974
01:40:13,427 --> 01:40:14,562
they're all over they're

3975
01:40:14,562 --> 01:40:15,696
everywhere and if you try to

3976
01:40:15,696 --> 01:40:17,598
just narrow it to one location

3977
01:40:17,598 --> 01:40:19,333
,if we put all our resources

3978
01:40:19,333 --> 01:40:20,300
say in the uptown area then

3979
01:40:20,300 --> 01:40:21,135
we've seen where they would go

3980
01:40:21,135 --> 01:40:22,235
to the university area.

3981
01:40:22,235 --> 01:40:24,235
,northlake.

3982
01:40:24,872 --> 01:40:26,474
>> area, um huntersville

3983
01:40:26,474 --> 01:40:27,441
frankie's all these various

3984
01:40:27,441 --> 01:40:29,210
locations where these youth

3985
01:40:29,210 --> 01:40:30,411
like to hang out and so we want

3986
01:40:30,411 --> 01:40:32,446
to be able to have a tool that

3987
01:40:32,446 --> 01:40:33,414
wherever they go we're able to

3988
01:40:33,414 --> 01:40:35,649
go there and start to break

3989
01:40:35,649 --> 01:40:36,917
that up and um, make sure that

3990
01:40:36,917 --> 01:40:38,219
we don't have incidents as a

3991
01:40:38,219 --> 01:40:40,219
result of it.

3992
01:40:40,722 --> 01:40:41,256
So I, I don't know that.

3993
01:40:41,256 --> 01:40:43,191
Narrowing it.

3994
01:40:43,191 --> 01:40:45,493
>> down to just one particular

3995
01:40:45,493 --> 01:40:47,950
area would be effective in

3996
01:40:47,950 --> 01:40:48,996
trying to prevent them in the

3997
01:40:48,996 --> 01:40:49,197
first place, um, kind of thing

3998
01:40:49,197 --> 01:40:51,650
.

3999
01:40:51,650 --> 01:40:52,967
Um, the other part that you

4000
01:40:52,967 --> 01:40:54,402
said, you know, looking at

4001
01:40:54,402 --> 01:40:54,602
congregations or areas I think

4002
01:40:54,602 --> 01:40:55,236
I.

4003
01:40:55,236 --> 01:40:56,937
Understand you're saying.

4004
01:40:56,937 --> 01:40:57,138
That if we were to just focus

4005
01:40:57,138 --> 01:40:57,672
on.

4006
01:40:57,672 --> 01:40:59,672
>> a.

4007
01:40:59,708 --> 01:41:01,708
Group particular group.

4008
01:41:02,210 --> 01:41:04,546
Are you saying to give those.

4009
01:41:04,546 --> 01:41:04,747
To violate those individuals

4010
01:41:04,747 --> 01:41:06,614
for.

4011
01:41:06,614 --> 01:41:07,282
So I'm saying that I've asked

4012
01:41:07,282 --> 01:41:08,216
our staff to.

4013
01:41:08,216 --> 01:41:10,216
Look into.

4014
01:41:10,385 --> 01:41:10,752
And I would ask you to also

4015
01:41:10,752 --> 01:41:11,219
have.

4016
01:41:11,219 --> 01:41:13,219
Folks look.

4017
01:41:14,489 --> 01:41:14,789
Into what destinations that

4018
01:41:14,789 --> 01:41:15,456
frequently.

4019
01:41:15,456 --> 01:41:17,456
Are able to.

4020
01:41:17,659 --> 01:41:17,993
Disperse large gatherings of

4021
01:41:17,993 --> 01:41:19,228
unaccompanied.

4022
01:41:19,228 --> 01:41:20,329
Minors are.

4023
01:41:20,329 --> 01:41:21,730
Doing that is not.

4024
01:41:21,730 --> 01:41:23,632
Putting at risk.

4025
01:41:23,632 --> 01:41:25,167
Folks who.

4026
01:41:25,167 --> 01:41:26,568
Are otherwise.

4027
01:41:26,568 --> 01:41:26,768
Just doing the things that kids

4028
01:41:26,768 --> 01:41:28,636
.

4029
01:41:28,636 --> 01:41:29,204
Do in couples or.

4030
01:41:29,204 --> 01:41:30,271
>> in.

4031
01:41:30,271 --> 01:41:30,739
Small groups of kids.

4032
01:41:30,739 --> 01:41:31,239
There is.

4033
01:41:31,239 --> 01:41:31,839
>> a big.

4034
01:41:31,839 --> 01:41:33,275
Difference in my.

4035
01:41:33,275 --> 01:41:34,343
Mind between someone.

4036
01:41:34,343 --> 01:41:36,211
Going to see a movie.

4037
01:41:36,211 --> 01:41:36,845
Or coming back from.

4038
01:41:36,845 --> 01:41:38,247
,you know.

4039
01:41:38,247 --> 01:41:38,747
Whatever they're coming back

4040
01:41:38,747 --> 01:41:39,515
from at night.

4041
01:41:39,515 --> 01:41:40,249
And they happen to.

4042
01:41:40,249 --> 01:41:41,817
>> be alone.

4043
01:41:41,817 --> 01:41:43,218
I would like to not have.

4044
01:41:43,218 --> 01:41:44,319
Them have an interaction with

4045
01:41:44,319 --> 01:41:46,221
the police for no reason.

4046
01:41:46,221 --> 01:41:47,756
And I appreciate that you've.

4047
01:41:47,756 --> 01:41:48,223
Told us that that is highly.

4048
01:41:48,223 --> 01:41:49,191
Unlikely to.

4049
01:41:49,191 --> 01:41:50,191
Happen because you just.

4050
01:41:50,191 --> 01:41:50,593
>> don't have the officers.

4051
01:41:50,593 --> 01:41:50,893
>> to.

4052
01:41:50,893 --> 01:41:51,694
Do it.

4053
01:41:51,694 --> 01:41:52,761
>> I'm asking.

4054
01:41:52,761 --> 01:41:54,330
Instead could.

4055
01:41:54,330 --> 01:41:55,731
We look at tailoring.

4056
01:41:55,731 --> 01:41:56,999
This curfew.

4057
01:41:56,999 --> 01:41:57,800
So that that isn't even an

4058
01:41:57,800 --> 01:41:58,901
issue so that.

4059
01:41:58,901 --> 01:41:59,835
Unless you're in a group of.

4060
01:41:59,835 --> 01:42:01,236
Ten people.

4061
01:42:01,236 --> 01:42:02,637
Sure is a minor.

4062
01:42:02,637 --> 01:42:03,305
You're not going to have that

4063
01:42:03,305 --> 01:42:03,739
interaction with.

4064
01:42:03,739 --> 01:42:04,306
>> the.

4065
01:42:04,306 --> 01:42:04,773
Police officer?

4066
01:42:04,773 --> 01:42:05,741
Sure.

4067
01:42:05,741 --> 01:42:07,142
That is something to consider.

4068
01:42:07,142 --> 01:42:07,776
Now I'm understanding what

4069
01:42:07,776 --> 01:42:09,450
you're asking.

4070
01:42:09,450 --> 01:42:09,379
My apologies for not

4071
01:42:09,379 --> 01:42:09,846
articulating.

4072
01:42:09,846 --> 01:42:10,780
It well.

4073
01:42:10,780 --> 01:42:12,480
Yes.

4074
01:42:12,480 --> 01:42:12,681
>> no I think I understand what

4075
01:42:12,681 --> 01:42:14,417
you're saying.

4076
01:42:14,417 --> 01:42:15,853
I mean and certainly if they're

4077
01:42:15,853 --> 01:42:17,453
in a group together they're in

4078
01:42:17,453 --> 01:42:19,550
a safe space together then we

4079
01:42:19,550 --> 01:42:19,355
would not want to enforce it

4080
01:42:19,355 --> 01:42:20,623
necessarily.

4081
01:42:20,623 --> 01:42:20,890
That is something that we can

4082
01:42:20,890 --> 01:42:21,757
consider.

4083
01:42:21,757 --> 01:42:23,158
Thank you.

4084
01:42:23,158 --> 01:42:23,926

Yeah.

4090

>> um I just.

4091
01:42:28,965 --> 01:42:29,299
Really wanted to highlight the

4092
01:42:29,299 --> 01:42:29,933
map.

4093
01:42:29,933 --> 01:42:31,200
Um, and.

>> actually having.

The entire charlotte region.

4096
01:42:35,404 --> 01:42:35,738
Is really helpful I think.

4097
01:42:35,738 --> 01:42:37,738
Um.

4098
01:42:38,740 --> 01:42:38,874
>> to see gaps not only in

4099
01:42:38,874 --> 01:42:39,809
district three.

4100
01:42:39,809 --> 01:42:41,210
But in district.

4101
01:42:41,210 --> 01:42:42,311
six in.

4102
01:42:42,311 --> 01:42:43,713
District seven.

4103
01:42:43,713 --> 01:42:44,648
Um in five.

4104
01:42:44,648 --> 01:42:46,820
Um.

4105
01:42:46,820 --> 01:42:46,249
>> when I think of when you

4106
01:42:46,249 --> 01:42:46,950
all.

4107
01:42:46,950 --> 01:42:47,350
Mentioned partnering.

4108
01:42:47,350 --> 01:42:49,350
With the.

4109
01:42:49,552 --> 01:42:50,186
Ymca, I know that still creek

4110
01:42:50,186 --> 01:42:52,186
lost its.

4111
01:42:52,522 --> 01:42:52,722
Ymca maybe like three years

4112
01:42:52,722 --> 01:42:54,657
ago.

4113
01:42:54,657 --> 01:42:55,525
So I mean I don't know.

4114
01:42:55,525 --> 01:42:55,858
>> who you would necessarily.

4115
01:42:55,858 --> 01:42:56,959
Partner with.

4116
01:42:56,959 --> 01:42:57,894
When there's no y there.

4117
01:42:57,894 --> 01:42:59,295
Um, and.

4118
01:42:59,295 --> 01:42:59,629
>> even when.

4119
01:42:59,629 --> 01:42:59,862
>> you.

4120
01:42:59,862 --> 01:43:00,797
Look at.

4121
01:43:00,797 --> 01:43:02,666
>> more closer.

4122
01:43:02,666 --> 01:43:03,467
Can you tell us more about what

4123
01:43:03,467 --> 01:43:03,700
you would do with the high

4124
01:43:03,700 --> 01:43:05,700
schools?

4125
01:43:05,936 --> 01:43:06,303
Because I saw your dots in the

4126
01:43:06,303 --> 01:43:07,971
high schools.

4127
01:43:07,971 --> 01:43:08,505
Are you doing programing in the

4128
01:43:08,505 --> 01:43:10,390
high schools?

4129
01:43:10,390 --> 01:43:10,240
Just curious what that looks

4130
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:11,408
like.

4131
01:43:11,408 --> 01:43:12,709
>> so with the high schools

4132
01:43:12,709 --> 01:43:13,243
it's more of the teacher.

4133
01:43:13,243 --> 01:43:14,978
>> work.

4134
01:43:14,978 --> 01:43:15,144
Days but when you speak about

4135
01:43:15,144 --> 01:43:15,845
the.

4136
01:43:15,845 --> 01:43:16,346
Gaps those are.

4137
01:43:16,346 --> 01:43:17,113
>> the.

4138
01:43:17,113 --> 01:43:17,880
Things that we're looking at.

4139
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:18,449
So that's why it's.

4140
01:43:18,449 --> 01:43:18,882
Taken us a.

4141
01:43:18,882 --> 01:43:19,984
>> little bit.

4142
01:43:19,984 --> 01:43:20,317
>> of time to put the grant

4143
01:43:20,317 --> 01:43:22,152
application.

4144
01:43:22,152 --> 01:43:22,519
Together because we want to

4145
01:43:22,519 --> 01:43:23,420
make sure we're.

4146
01:43:23,420 --> 01:43:24,822
Leveraging not.

4147
01:43:24,822 --> 01:43:25,756
Only where there.

4148
01:43:25,756 --> 01:43:26,390
Is a lack.

4149
01:43:26,390 --> 01:43:28,390
But that we're.

4150
01:43:28,725 --> 01:43:29,793
Leveraging cmpd, cmpd data.

4151
01:43:29,793 --> 01:43:30,494
>> so we want we're really

4152
01:43:30,494 --> 01:43:31,828
wanting to be intentional.

4153
01:43:31,828 --> 01:43:32,295
And I really.

4154
01:43:32,295 --> 01:43:33,163
Appreciate that.

4155
01:43:33,163 --> 01:43:34,331
>> as a former teacher.

4156
01:43:34,331 --> 01:43:35,265
I love data.

4157
01:43:35,265 --> 01:43:36,567
Uh, always one.

4158
01:43:36,567 --> 01:43:37,401
>> of my favorite things look

4159
01:43:37,401 --> 01:43:39,401
at teaching math.

4160
01:43:40,237 --> 01:43:42,106
Um but I just want to encourage

4161
01:43:42,106 --> 01:43:43,407
all of our various partners um

4162
01:43:43,407 --> 01:43:44,341
,particularly the county.

4163
01:43:44,341 --> 01:43:45,576
Um.

4164
01:43:45,576 --> 01:43:46,243
>> and they know I get on them

4165
01:43:46,243 --> 01:43:48,278
quite a bit but.

4166
01:43:48,278 --> 01:43:50,314
I see some gaps and I.

4167
01:43:50,314 --> 01:43:50,914
Hope that our.

4168
01:43:50,914 --> 01:43:52,914
Residents will.

4169
01:43:53,117 --> 01:43:54,850
>> have some conversations with

4170
01:43:54,850 --> 01:43:55,486
their county commissioners

4171
01:43:55,486 --> 01:43:55,653
about investment and I'm just

4172
01:43:55,653 --> 01:43:55,953
I'm.

4173
01:43:55,953 --> 01:43:56,320
Be very.

4174
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:57,255
Frank with.

4175
01:43:57,255 --> 01:43:57,688
>> that because it's not.

4176
01:43:57,688 --> 01:43:58,789
Something that.

4177
01:43:58,789 --> 01:44:00,958
You all can do by yourselves.

4178
01:44:00,958 --> 01:44:01,292
Um, that investment needs to

4179
01:44:01,292 --> 01:44:03,292
occur.

4180
01:44:03,327 --> 01:44:03,828
Everywhere so that our young

4181
01:44:03,828 --> 01:44:05,828
people have.

4182
01:44:06,797 --> 01:44:07,298
Things to do and you know, not

4183
01:44:07,298 --> 01:44:08,398
getting in mischief.

4184
01:44:08,398 --> 01:44:09,333
>> so just want to.

4185
01:44:09,333 --> 01:44:10,735
Put that out there.

4186
01:44:10,735 --> 01:44:11,802
Um, excited.

4187
01:44:11,802 --> 01:44:12,103
>> to see the work that y'all

4188
01:44:12,103 --> 01:44:13,638
are doing.

4189
01:44:13,638 --> 01:44:15,730
Um I think that y'all are doing

4190
01:44:15,730 --> 01:44:15,573
great work and very

4191
01:44:15,573 --> 01:44:16,207
appreciative of it.

4192
01:44:16,207 --> 01:44:17,775
I guess.

4193
01:44:17,775 --> 01:44:19,377
>> my only concern is when we

4194
01:44:19,377 --> 01:44:19,844
talk about giving passes to.

4195
01:44:19,844 --> 01:44:21,712
Young people.

4196
01:44:21,712 --> 01:44:22,847
There's nowhere for young

4197
01:44:22,847 --> 01:44:25,216
people to go in some of these

4198
01:44:25,216 --> 01:44:26,183
districts for those passes and

4199
01:44:26,183 --> 01:44:28,553
that's why we really have to

4200
01:44:28,553 --> 01:44:29,354
get to the root of the issue

4201
01:44:29,354 --> 01:44:31,323
which are the gaps.

4202
01:44:31,323 --> 01:44:31,823
So I just want to say so that's

4203
01:44:31,823 --> 01:44:32,223
the difference.

4204
01:44:32,223 --> 01:44:32,924
>> with.

4205
01:44:32,924 --> 01:44:33,157
The partnerships we're not

4206
01:44:33,157 --> 01:44:33,892
looking.

4207
01:44:33,892 --> 01:44:34,492
>> at just handing.

4208
01:44:34,492 --> 01:44:35,393
>> out passes.

4209
01:44:35,393 --> 01:44:36,961
We're looking at being.

4210
01:44:36,961 --> 01:44:37,295
Intentional and we.

4211
01:44:37,295 --> 01:44:37,495
>> met.

4212
01:44:37,495 --> 01:44:38,129
With.

4213
01:44:38,129 --> 01:44:38,362
The why we looked at every.

4214
01:44:38,362 --> 01:44:38,630
Load we.

4215
01:44:38,630 --> 01:44:40,640
Looked at.

4216
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:41,866
>> we looked at their map to

4217
01:44:41,866 --> 01:44:42,300
see where they had locations.

4218
01:44:42,300 --> 01:44:42,833
We bounce.

4219
01:44:42,833 --> 01:44:43,301
>> that.

4220
01:44:43,301 --> 01:44:44,101
Off chief.

4221
01:44:44,101 --> 01:44:45,169
>> to talk about.

4222
01:44:45,169 --> 01:44:46,710
Different things that were

4223
01:44:46,710 --> 01:44:47,472
happening in those communities.

4224
01:44:47,472 --> 01:44:48,874
So just know that we.

4225
01:44:48,874 --> 01:44:49,341
>> are being more intentional.

4226
01:44:49,341 --> 01:44:50,775
We're not.

4227
01:44:50,775 --> 01:44:51,142
Just passing out passes.

4228
01:44:51,142 --> 01:44:52,243
And we.

4229
01:44:52,243 --> 01:44:52,444
>> definitely want to make sure

4230
01:44:52,444 --> 01:44:53,378
that.

4231
01:44:53,378 --> 01:44:54,312
>> we're addressing the need.

4232
01:44:54,312 --> 01:44:56,181
Thank you.

4233
01:44:56,181 --> 01:44:58,282
And I just add to that we've

4234
01:44:58,282 --> 01:44:59,350
had a number of nonprofits.

4235
01:44:59,350 --> 01:45:00,451
We've had business community

4236
01:45:00,451 --> 01:45:01,586
members coming to us saying we

4237
01:45:01,586 --> 01:45:03,220
want to be a part of the

4238
01:45:03,220 --> 01:45:04,289
solution finding those third

4239
01:45:04,289 --> 01:45:06,191
spaces for our youth.

4240
01:45:06,191 --> 01:45:06,825
So I think that is all the

4241
01:45:06,825 --> 01:45:07,826
conversation we've been having

4242
01:45:07,826 --> 01:45:09,394
about this has really garnered

4243
01:45:09,394 --> 01:45:11,394
some good responses.

4244
01:45:11,730 --> 01:45:11,963
Very excited I know ricky

4245
01:45:11,963 --> 01:45:12,297
seeing.

4246
01:45:12,297 --> 01:45:12,597
Was supposed.

4247
01:45:12,597 --> 01:45:13,310
>> to.

4248
01:45:13,310 --> 01:45:14,266
Talk today.

4249
01:45:14,266 --> 01:45:16,340
Unfortunately he was not here

4250
01:45:16,340 --> 01:45:17,769
but he had some great maps to

4251
01:45:17,769 --> 01:45:18,270
show as well and excited.

4252
01:45:18,270 --> 01:45:19,370
>> for.

4253
01:45:19,370 --> 01:45:20,739
Him to share those.

4254
01:45:20,739 --> 01:45:21,600
So that we can see the

4255
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:22,107
solutions.

4256
01:45:22,107 --> 01:45:24,900
>> that you are working with

4257
01:45:24,900 --> 01:45:24,810
with your various partners.

4258
01:45:24,810 --> 01:45:25,878
So I'll stop talking.

4259
01:45:25,878 --> 01:45:27,146
And also.

4260
01:45:27,146 --> 01:45:27,413
Member mayo council member

4261
01:45:27,413 --> 01:45:29,413
mayfield.

4262
01:45:31,850 --> 01:45:33,850
Thank you mayor 17.

4263
01:45:33,885 --> 01:45:35,754
Thank you for the information.

4264
01:45:35,754 --> 01:45:36,855
I um a number.

4265
01:45:36,855 --> 01:45:38,855
Of questions.

4266
01:45:41,527 --> 01:45:43,762
One I'm going to encourage a

4267
01:45:43,762 --> 01:45:44,263
pilot where we actually talk to

4268
01:45:44,263 --> 01:45:46,263
our youth.

4269
01:45:46,932 --> 01:45:48,667
Before versus adults coming up

4270
01:45:48,667 --> 01:45:49,100
with what you think is the

4271
01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:49,801
option.

4272
01:45:49,801 --> 01:45:51,801
Last week.

4273
01:45:54,639 --> 01:45:54,806
I had the opportunity to uh to

4274
01:45:54,806 --> 01:45:56,542
.

4275
01:45:56,542 --> 01:45:57,310
An event uh.

4276
01:45:57,310 --> 01:45:59,310
Spark house.

4277
01:45:59,512 --> 01:45:59,912
Where they basically had.

4278
01:45:59,912 --> 01:46:01,314
>> a.

4279
01:46:01,314 --> 01:46:04,116
Teen take over and one of our.

4280
01:46:04,116 --> 01:46:05,718
Cmpd law enforcement officers

4281
01:46:05,718 --> 01:46:05,918
with their youth came up with

4282
01:46:05,918 --> 01:46:07,918
a.

4283
01:46:09,188 --> 01:46:10,322
Basically a mini shark tank

4284
01:46:10,322 --> 01:46:11,390
where they came up with

4285
01:46:11,390 --> 01:46:13,390
different opportunities.

4286
01:46:14,494 --> 01:46:15,628
I have concerns with the

4287
01:46:15,628 --> 01:46:16,296
possibilities because what I'm

4288
01:46:16,296 --> 01:46:17,397
not going.

4289
01:46:17,397 --> 01:46:19,397
What I cannot.

4290
01:46:21,934 --> 01:46:22,869
Discount is that it was one.

4291
01:46:22,869 --> 01:46:24,869
Of our.

4292
01:46:29,241 --> 01:46:29,441
Youth officers who was an adult

4293
01:46:29,441 --> 01:46:31,441
.

4294
01:46:32,579 --> 01:46:33,713
That while on school property

4295
01:46:33,713 --> 01:46:35,916
interacting with a youth

4296
01:46:35,916 --> 01:46:38,885
slammed a child on the ground.

4297
01:46:38,885 --> 01:46:40,653
It has been our officers that

4298
01:46:40,653 --> 01:46:41,454
we have had multiple

4299
01:46:41,454 --> 01:46:43,854
conversations with over the

4300
01:46:44,123 --> 01:46:46,523
years with interactions with

4301
01:46:46,993 --> 01:46:47,961
adults that has resulted in a

4302
01:46:47,961 --> 01:46:49,196
number of lawsuits.

4303
01:46:49,196 --> 01:46:49,997
So I'm definitely concerned

4304
01:46:49,997 --> 01:46:51,431
about how you interact with.

4305
01:46:51,431 --> 01:46:52,966
Children without.

4306
01:46:52,966 --> 01:46:54,868
Hearing a number.

4307
01:46:54,868 --> 01:46:56,603
I personally don't think that

4308
01:46:56,603 --> 01:46:57,737
number is ten of we're seeing

4309
01:46:57,737 --> 01:47:00,106
hundreds of children are coming

4310
01:47:00,106 --> 01:47:02,642
uh, gathering together out of

4311
01:47:02,642 --> 01:47:04,544
those hundreds of kids we have

4312
01:47:04,544 --> 01:47:05,879
12 to 15 that unfortunately

4313
01:47:05,879 --> 01:47:07,848
cause a challenge.

4314
01:47:07,848 --> 01:47:10,217
What is that number?

4315
01:47:10,217 --> 01:47:10,384
Is it 25 young people together

4316
01:47:10,384 --> 01:47:11,819
?

4317
01:47:11,819 --> 01:47:13,854
Is it 50 young people together

4318
01:47:13,854 --> 01:47:14,354
that's going to trigger someone

4319
01:47:14,354 --> 01:47:16,354
to interact?

4320
01:47:17,791 --> 01:47:18,124
I'm concerned as far as these

4321
01:47:18,124 --> 01:47:19,693
exceptions.

4322
01:47:19,693 --> 01:47:21,595
So what do we say when they

4323
01:47:21,595 --> 01:47:21,962
have to walk around with a pass

4324
01:47:21,962 --> 01:47:23,962
that.

4325
01:47:25,399 --> 01:47:25,900
Gives me quite.

4326
01:47:25,900 --> 01:47:27,268
>> a bit.

4327
01:47:27,268 --> 01:47:29,169
Of concern I think about

4328
01:47:29,169 --> 01:47:30,137
unfortunately since both of my

4329
01:47:30,137 --> 01:47:30,337
parents had passed when I was

4330
01:47:30,337 --> 01:47:30,971
young.

4331
01:47:30,971 --> 01:47:32,971
I was working.

4332
01:47:34,740 --> 01:47:35,342
At a young age now the court

4333
01:47:35,342 --> 01:47:35,642
wouldn't have worked for me to

4334
01:47:35,642 --> 01:47:37,100
get home.

4335
01:47:37,100 --> 01:47:40,130
So what type of information are

4336
01:47:40,130 --> 01:47:42,717
we asking them to provide

4337
01:47:42,717 --> 01:47:45,253
moving forward with a 9:00 time

4338
01:47:45,253 --> 01:47:47,653
versus actually working with

4339
01:47:47,788 --> 01:47:49,223
spark house, working with some

4340
01:47:49,223 --> 01:47:50,658
of our other groups that

4341
01:47:50,658 --> 01:47:52,658
already have successful

4342
01:47:53,661 --> 01:47:54,795
programs where they are

4343
01:47:54,795 --> 01:47:57,195
engaging with 3 to 500 youth.

4344
01:48:00,235 --> 01:48:02,770
First is concerning not having

4345
01:48:02,770 --> 01:48:03,137
the youth at the table to help

4346
01:48:03,137 --> 01:48:05,137
identify.

4347
01:48:06,107 --> 01:48:06,774
Which I learned evidently young

4348
01:48:06,774 --> 01:48:08,142
people like pickleball.

4349
01:48:08,142 --> 01:48:08,976
I thought that was for all

4350
01:48:08,976 --> 01:48:09,443
people but evidently.

4351
01:48:09,443 --> 01:48:11,312
as a.

4352
01:48:11,312 --> 01:48:12,446
>> young people like as well

4353
01:48:12,446 --> 01:48:14,846
and there's a whole.

4354
01:48:15,250 --> 01:48:15,984
Group that's out there, I agree

4355
01:48:15,984 --> 01:48:16,685
that we need to.

4356
01:48:16,685 --> 01:48:16,885
Be working with the county

4357
01:48:16,885 --> 01:48:17,152
with.

4358
01:48:17,152 --> 01:48:17,819
Park and.

4359
01:48:17,819 --> 01:48:19,354
>> rec.

4360
01:48:19,354 --> 01:48:21,354
>> with access.

4361
01:48:21,723 --> 01:48:23,324
You mentioned some of the

4362
01:48:23,324 --> 01:48:24,426
locations where young people

4363
01:48:24,426 --> 01:48:24,926
have gathered and they gathered

4364
01:48:24,926 --> 01:48:26,926
at frankie's.

4365
01:48:27,361 --> 01:48:28,960
What was the last conversation

4366
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:29,797
at all?

4367
01:48:29,797 --> 01:48:32,199
If we had worked for any case

4368
01:48:32,199 --> 01:48:33,635
as far as those passes being

4369
01:48:33,635 --> 01:48:35,837
available, we it was mentioned

4370
01:48:35,837 --> 01:48:37,906
that we passed out 200 passes

4371
01:48:37,906 --> 01:48:39,906
here, 250 passes there.

4372
01:48:40,241 --> 01:48:41,420
We said we have 3 to 500 youth

4373
01:48:41,420 --> 01:48:43,420
that's gathering.

4374
01:48:43,712 --> 01:48:45,146
So exactly who are those passes

4375
01:48:45,146 --> 01:48:46,280
going to an hour to pass is

4376
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:47,715
going to the same you because

4377
01:48:47,715 --> 01:48:49,317
if they're going to the youth

4378
01:48:49,317 --> 01:48:50,452
that's through a generation

4379
01:48:50,452 --> 01:48:52,321
nation or through our current.

4380
01:48:52,321 --> 01:48:53,880
Program that's not the youth

4381
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,240
that's out in the community.

4382
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:59,240
So what is the real.

4383
01:48:59,528 --> 01:49:01,329
Connection and interaction?

4384
01:49:01,329 --> 01:49:03,329
I am.

4385
01:49:06,634 --> 01:49:08,404
Really hoping that versus say

4386
01:49:08,404 --> 01:49:12,400
that 9:00 pm is the number that

4387
01:49:12,641 --> 01:49:15,311
we really look at expanding the

4388
01:49:15,311 --> 01:49:15,511
programs that are led by teens

4389
01:49:15,511 --> 01:49:17,511
.

4390
01:49:18,130 --> 01:49:19,748
Authorities and we already have

4391
01:49:19,748 --> 01:49:19,948
the partnerships that are doing

4392
01:49:19,948 --> 01:49:20,582
that.

4393
01:49:20,582 --> 01:49:22,582
Work and that.

4394
01:49:23,552 --> 01:49:25,530
Goes beyond the ymca because as

4395
01:49:25,530 --> 01:49:26,722
was mentioned unfortunately

4396
01:49:26,722 --> 01:49:27,890
have closed a number of their

4397
01:49:27,890 --> 01:49:27,556
offices.

4398
01:49:27,556 --> 01:49:29,556
But also.

4399
01:49:30,826 --> 01:49:32,428
>> that's a certain that's a

4400
01:49:32,428 --> 01:49:33,529
targeted group of young people

4401
01:49:33,529 --> 01:49:36,529
that go into the ymca.

4402
01:49:37,466 --> 01:49:38,400
There are other groups out

4403
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:39,535
there that are doing amazing

4404
01:49:39,535 --> 01:49:40,936
work on the ground.

4405
01:49:40,936 --> 01:49:42,404
There's a two week program that

4406
01:49:42,404 --> 01:49:45,404
happens at john smith every

4407
01:49:45,842 --> 01:49:46,509
year that directly invites

4408
01:49:46,509 --> 01:49:48,377
young men.

4409
01:49:48,377 --> 01:49:50,377
Into the space.

4410
01:49:51,814 --> 01:49:52,140
Young people should be the

4411
01:49:52,140 --> 01:49:52,882
ones.

4412
01:49:52,882 --> 01:49:53,983
>> that lead in this.

4413
01:49:53,983 --> 01:49:55,518
Versus adults thinking.

4414
01:49:55,518 --> 01:49:56,318
>> what we need young.

4415
01:49:56,318 --> 01:49:58,318
People to have.

4416
01:49:58,487 --> 01:49:59,421
Access to by the 9:00.

4417
01:49:59,421 --> 01:50:01,421
Time period.

4418
01:50:01,958 --> 01:50:04,358
To punish the majority.

4419
01:50:04,927 --> 01:50:06,927
For the incidences.

4420
01:50:08,197 --> 01:50:08,998
Which are real and the loss of

4421
01:50:08,998 --> 01:50:11,398
life is very real.

4422
01:50:12,435 --> 01:50:14,435
I don't.

4423
01:50:14,637 --> 01:50:16,172
More enforcement.

4424
01:50:16,172 --> 01:50:18,172
And trust the.

4425
01:50:19,476 --> 01:50:20,760
Cameras when we have had.

4426
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:22,760
To have.

4427
01:50:22,279 --> 01:50:22,579
Arrest of our own law

4428
01:50:22,579 --> 01:50:23,413
enforcement.

4429
01:50:23,413 --> 01:50:25,413
>> is the answer.

4430
01:50:25,915 --> 01:50:26,549
I think it's more communication

4431
01:50:26,549 --> 01:50:27,817
with the.

4432
01:50:27,817 --> 01:50:27,984
Community that's being impacted

4433
01:50:27,984 --> 01:50:29,984
.

4434
01:50:30,190 --> 01:50:30,453
To say what.

4435
01:50:30,453 --> 01:50:30,787
>> they.

4436
01:50:30,787 --> 01:50:31,554
Would support.

4437
01:50:31,554 --> 01:50:31,721
>> and what they would like to

4438
01:50:31,721 --> 01:50:32,956
see.

4439
01:50:32,956 --> 01:50:34,570
Thank you.

4440
01:50:34,570 --> 01:50:34,991
Thank you.

4441
01:50:34,991 --> 01:50:36,930
>> council member mayfield.

4442
01:50:36,930 --> 01:50:37,794
Uh.

4443
01:50:37,794 --> 01:50:38,595
>> mayor, I was wondering if I

4444
01:50:38,595 --> 01:50:39,696
could just say one thing.

4445
01:50:39,696 --> 01:50:40,764
Um, to the council member, I

4446
01:50:40,764 --> 01:50:41,898
agree wholeheartedly with you

4447
01:50:41,898 --> 01:50:43,800
that we should not be making

4448
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:44,467
these decisions alone, that we

4449
01:50:44,467 --> 01:50:45,568
include our youth.

4450
01:50:45,568 --> 01:50:47,300
I will share with you that

4451
01:50:47,300 --> 01:50:47,971
earlier this year in MARCH

4452
01:50:47,971 --> 01:50:50,340
after the incidents in birkdale

4453
01:50:50,340 --> 01:50:52,108
,our members of our team, our

4454
01:50:52,108 --> 01:50:53,844
community services bureau met

4455
01:50:53,844 --> 01:50:55,746
with teens under the safe

4456
01:50:55,746 --> 01:50:57,514
summer charlotte initiative

4457
01:50:57,514 --> 01:50:59,249
where we heard from youth what

4458
01:50:59,249 --> 01:50:59,583
they wanted to get some ideas

4459
01:50:59,583 --> 01:51:01,583
from them.

4460
01:51:01,785 --> 01:51:02,285
They had about 15 meetings um

4461
01:51:02,285 --> 01:51:03,530
the last one.

4462
01:51:03,530 --> 01:51:04,788
Being in MAY.

4463
01:51:04,788 --> 01:51:05,956
So we are trying to seek the

4464
01:51:05,956 --> 01:51:06,990
voices of the young people.

4465
01:51:06,990 --> 01:51:08,124
I was very impressed with a

4466
01:51:08,124 --> 01:51:10,294
young lady who spoke tonight.

4467
01:51:10,294 --> 01:51:10,728
I believe that that is a

4468
01:51:10,728 --> 01:51:12,697
critical component.

4469
01:51:12,697 --> 01:51:13,300
We do need to hear from our

4470
01:51:13,300 --> 01:51:14,365
young people.

4471
01:51:14,365 --> 01:51:15,800
So that would be part of what

4472
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:16,300
we would do with this um

4473
01:51:16,300 --> 01:51:17,535
ordinance as well.

4474
01:51:17,535 --> 01:51:18,168
Thank you.

4475
01:51:18,168 --> 01:51:19,270
>> thank you.

4476
01:51:19,270 --> 01:51:20,237
>> council member mayfield

4477
01:51:20,237 --> 01:51:21,472
council member MR..

4478
01:51:21,472 --> 01:51:23,400
Aries thank you.

4479
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:23,540
>> mayor thank you chief thank

4480
01:51:23,540 --> 01:51:24,641
you staff.

4481
01:51:24,641 --> 01:51:26,641
Really appreciate.

4482
01:51:28,379 --> 01:51:30,915
Uh the effort and always the

4483
01:51:30,915 --> 01:51:32,490
the broader goal at hand which

4484
01:51:32,490 --> 01:51:33,651
is to keep our residents safe

4485
01:51:33,651 --> 01:51:35,820
and to keep our are you safe?

4486
01:51:35,820 --> 01:51:37,121
And chief, I appreciate our

4487
01:51:37,121 --> 01:51:38,189
candid conversations.

4488
01:51:38,189 --> 01:51:39,690
Uh, although.

4489
01:51:39,690 --> 01:51:40,900
Different perspectives.

4490
01:51:40,900 --> 01:51:41,392
Right.

4491
01:51:41,392 --> 01:51:42,660
But that that is what is.

4492
01:51:42,660 --> 01:51:44,728
This is all about to make sure

4493
01:51:44,728 --> 01:51:46,798
we come to a comprehensive

4494
01:51:46,798 --> 01:51:47,131
solution that works for

4495
01:51:47,131 --> 01:51:47,432
everyone.

4496
01:51:47,432 --> 01:51:49,432
Um.

4497
01:51:50,101 --> 01:51:52,136
>> I had a few questions.

4498
01:51:52,136 --> 01:51:53,671
So I noted and I did.

4499
01:51:53,671 --> 01:51:55,406
I looked at the.

4500
01:51:55,406 --> 01:51:56,740
Memo before the council meeting

4501
01:51:56,740 --> 01:51:57,475
uh, tonight.

4502
01:51:57,475 --> 01:51:59,343
I noted.

4503
01:51:59,343 --> 01:52:01,879
Data indicating that across the

4504
01:52:01,879 --> 01:52:03,782
different times 9 P.M. 10 P.M.

4505
01:52:03,782 --> 01:52:04,916
11 P.M. There is little to no

4506
01:52:04,916 --> 01:52:05,830
net change in overall criminal

4507
01:52:05,830 --> 01:52:06,951
.

4508
01:52:06,951 --> 01:52:07,552
Activity involving 1617.

4509
01:52:07,552 --> 01:52:09,552
>> year olds.

4510
01:52:10,321 --> 01:52:11,923
If anything trending slightly

4511
01:52:11,923 --> 01:52:14,459
lower as the night progresses,

4512
01:52:14,459 --> 01:52:14,692
how would you expect the 9 P.M.

4513
01:52:14,692 --> 01:52:16,600
Curfew.

4514
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:16,527
To change that data?

4515
01:52:16,527 --> 01:52:17,595
>> right?

4516
01:52:17,595 --> 01:52:18,529
We saw 30%.

4517
01:52:18,529 --> 01:52:20,529
For 9.

4518
01:52:21,900 --> 01:52:23,201
>> P.M., 30% for 10 P.M. And

4519
01:52:23,201 --> 01:52:24,136
29% for 11 P.M..

4520
01:52:24,136 --> 01:52:25,203
What what.

4521
01:52:25,203 --> 01:52:25,837
>> do you expect would change.

4522
01:52:25,837 --> 01:52:26,710
With the curfew?

4523
01:52:26,710 --> 01:52:27,873
Yes.

4524
01:52:27,873 --> 01:52:29,700
>> I think as we educate people

4525
01:52:29,700 --> 01:52:31,376
more as we talk about it we

4526
01:52:31,376 --> 01:52:33,111
will see that number go down um

4527
01:52:33,111 --> 01:52:35,947
to below what it is now 29%.

4528
01:52:35,947 --> 01:52:36,915
It's still I feel significant

4529
01:52:36,915 --> 01:52:38,350
because if it's my child and

4530
01:52:38,350 --> 01:52:39,618
they're part of that 29% I

4531
01:52:39,618 --> 01:52:41,820
would not want them victimize.

4532
01:52:41,820 --> 01:52:42,154
So our desire our hope is the

4533
01:52:42,154 --> 01:52:42,621
more we.

4534
01:52:42,621 --> 01:52:44,356
Educate the.

4535
01:52:44,356 --> 01:52:44,689
>> more we're out the more

4536
01:52:44,689 --> 01:52:45,557
officers are.

4537
01:52:45,557 --> 01:52:47,292
Talking to people about this

4538
01:52:47,292 --> 01:52:49,361
curfew that that number would

4539
01:52:49,361 --> 01:52:49,694
go down, victimization would be

4540
01:52:49,694 --> 01:52:50,629
reduced.

4541
01:52:50,629 --> 01:52:52,197
Thank you.

4542
01:52:52,197 --> 01:52:53,598
Um so.

4543
01:52:53,598 --> 01:52:54,867
When I was.

4544
01:52:54,867 --> 01:52:55,340
Looking at the memos looking at

4545
01:52:55,340 --> 01:52:56,200
the.

4546
01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:58,170
Studies and I did.

4547
01:52:58,170 --> 01:52:59,572
Just a quick chatgpt.

4548
01:52:59,572 --> 01:53:00,539
I and.

4549
01:53:00,539 --> 01:53:03,175
Those were the same studies.

4550
01:53:03,175 --> 01:53:05,430
Uh, reiterated to me to but.

4551
01:53:05,430 --> 01:53:05,244
i would love to see if there's

4552
01:53:05,244 --> 01:53:06,778
any.

4553
01:53:06,778 --> 01:53:07,146
More comprehensive studies out

4554
01:53:07,146 --> 01:53:08,246
there.

4555
01:53:08,246 --> 01:53:10,246
And particularly.

4556
01:53:10,282 --> 01:53:11,550
Not just positive and mixed but

4557
01:53:11,550 --> 01:53:12,785
also the negative studies.

4558
01:53:12,785 --> 01:53:13,152
I want to get a whole picture

4559
01:53:13,152 --> 01:53:15,152
right.

4560
01:53:16,589 --> 01:53:18,570
I think I want to.

4561
01:53:18,570 --> 01:53:19,458
>> I'm a data driven person.

4562
01:53:19,458 --> 01:53:20,593
I want to see what works and I

4563
01:53:20,593 --> 01:53:22,161
understand your concern.

4564
01:53:22,161 --> 01:53:24,530
This is specific I.

4565
01:53:24,530 --> 01:53:26,231
Uh um agree with my colleagues

4566
01:53:26,231 --> 01:53:27,533
that perhaps we look at local

4567
01:53:27,533 --> 01:53:28,200
data and see what works and

4568
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:28,667
what doesn't work, but.

4569
01:53:28,667 --> 01:53:30,369
>> I.

4570
01:53:30,369 --> 01:53:32,438
Really would like to see more

4571
01:53:32,438 --> 01:53:34,340
studies, um, that are available

4572
01:53:34,340 --> 01:53:35,775
out there uh, rather than those

4573
01:53:35,775 --> 01:53:36,142
that are popular with other

4574
01:53:36,142 --> 01:53:37,760
cities.

4575
01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:38,144
Um.

4576
01:53:38,144 --> 01:53:39,245
>> but while.

4577
01:53:39,245 --> 01:53:40,646
On that topic.

4578
01:53:40,646 --> 01:53:40,880
Well, studies suggest that

4579
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:42,880
curfews.

4580
01:53:42,882 --> 01:53:43,216
Often lead to an increase in

4581
01:53:43,216 --> 01:53:45,216
arrests.

4582
01:53:45,718 --> 01:53:47,520
Overall crime rates largely

4583
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:47,186
have remained static throughout

4584
01:53:47,186 --> 01:53:49,186
.

4585
01:53:49,222 --> 01:53:49,556
So if overall crime doesn't

4586
01:53:49,556 --> 01:53:50,657
drop.

4587
01:53:50,657 --> 01:53:51,758
But juvenile.

4588
01:53:51,758 --> 01:53:53,758
Arrests go up.

4589
01:53:54,260 --> 01:53:55,610
Do do we think this is going to

4590
01:53:55,610 --> 01:53:56,462
be effective.

4591
01:53:56,462 --> 01:53:57,129
>> or proactive uh, public

4592
01:53:57,129 --> 01:53:57,997
safety strategy?

4593
01:53:57,997 --> 01:53:59,232
>> well, I think.

4594
01:53:59,232 --> 01:54:01,100
When you're.

4595
01:54:01,100 --> 01:54:01,667
Measuring success let's.

4596
01:54:01,667 --> 01:54:03,690
Say if.

4597
01:54:03,690 --> 01:54:04,303
>> there a pilot.

4598
01:54:04,303 --> 01:54:06,840
Program does happen or the

4599
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:09,676
curfew is uh, voted upon, this

4600
01:54:09,676 --> 01:54:11,111
council would use uh.

4601
01:54:11,111 --> 01:54:12,812
what do you think is.

4602
01:54:12,812 --> 01:54:14,547
The indicator of success there

4603
01:54:14,547 --> 01:54:16,115
arrest or a drop down in crime.

4604
01:54:16,115 --> 01:54:17,383
?

4605
01:54:17,383 --> 01:54:19,452
>> success for us looks in two

4606
01:54:19,452 --> 01:54:19,953
ways one a reduction in

4607
01:54:19,953 --> 01:54:21,953
victimization.

4608
01:54:22,210 --> 01:54:22,155
Less juveniles being victimized

4609
01:54:22,155 --> 01:54:23,557
.

4610
01:54:23,557 --> 01:54:24,491
And yes less.

4611
01:54:24,491 --> 01:54:25,892
Crime period.

4612
01:54:25,892 --> 01:54:27,828
Um that are juveniles are

4613
01:54:27,828 --> 01:54:29,396
creating or anybody across the

4614
01:54:29,396 --> 01:54:30,998
city I think I've spoken

4615
01:54:30,998 --> 01:54:31,965
repeatedly that we want to make

4616
01:54:31,965 --> 01:54:32,632
charlotte one of the safest

4617
01:54:32,632 --> 01:54:34,340
large cities.

4618
01:54:34,340 --> 01:54:35,302
We want to reduce crime

4619
01:54:35,302 --> 01:54:36,136
whatever that looks like is

4620
01:54:36,136 --> 01:54:37,837
getting the crime numbers down.

4621
01:54:37,837 --> 01:54:38,671
So I think it's twofold

4622
01:54:38,671 --> 01:54:39,739
victimization and crime.

4623
01:54:39,739 --> 01:54:40,708
Thank you.

4624
01:54:40,708 --> 01:54:42,708
And um.

4625
01:54:42,710 --> 01:54:44,110
To two more sorry mayor I know

4626
01:54:44,110 --> 01:54:44,778
you said 2 or 3 minutes.

4627
01:54:44,778 --> 01:54:45,179
Uh.

4628
01:54:45,179 --> 01:54:45,646
>> but.

4629
01:54:45,646 --> 01:54:46,580
You're close.

4630
01:54:46,580 --> 01:54:47,470
Greg got it.

4631
01:54:47,470 --> 01:54:47,848
Thank you.

4632
01:54:47,848 --> 01:54:49,830
>> with the current.

4633
01:54:49,830 --> 01:54:49,283
Proposal creating uniform

4634
01:54:49,283 --> 01:54:51,283
rules.

4635
01:54:51,285 --> 01:54:52,850
I saw, uh.

4636
01:54:52,850 --> 01:54:53,486
And the statues.

4637
01:54:53,486 --> 01:54:54,921
Our ordinance, our current

4638
01:54:54,921 --> 01:54:55,722
ordinances with when it comes

4639
01:54:55,722 --> 01:54:57,157
to the.

4640
01:54:57,157 --> 01:54:59,157
Exception groups.

4641
01:54:59,327 --> 01:54:59,827
There is still h tier

4642
01:54:59,827 --> 01:55:01,529
interpretations there.

4643
01:55:01,529 --> 01:55:03,529
So I think.

4644
01:55:03,697 --> 01:55:05,599
We might have to revise that if

4645
01:55:05,599 --> 01:55:06,534
this council so decides to.

4646
01:55:06,534 --> 01:55:08,435
Do this curfew.

4647
01:55:08,435 --> 01:55:10,337
Because right now one of them

4648
01:55:10,337 --> 01:55:10,671
was like the errands running

4649
01:55:10,671 --> 01:55:10,971
errands.

4650
01:55:10,971 --> 01:55:12,239
Yes.

4651
01:55:12,239 --> 01:55:12,873
>> yeah there's a certain.

4652
01:55:12,873 --> 01:55:14,274
Curfew for a.

4653
01:55:14,274 --> 01:55:15,376
13 year olds for running

4654
01:55:15,376 --> 01:55:17,145
errands and then there's a

4655
01:55:17,145 --> 01:55:19,130
certain curfew for 17 under.

4656
01:55:19,130 --> 01:55:20,114
So if if um.

4657
01:55:20,114 --> 01:55:21,349
I just want.

4658
01:55:21,349 --> 01:55:21,716
>> to make sure that we're

4659
01:55:21,716 --> 01:55:21,949
consistent.

4660
01:55:21,949 --> 01:55:23,517
Right.

4661
01:55:23,517 --> 01:55:23,684
If it's, uh, blanket curfew for

4662
01:55:23,684 --> 01:55:25,619
.

4663
01:55:25,619 --> 01:55:27,288
17 under completely.

4664
01:55:27,288 --> 01:55:27,621
>> that it also would apply to

4665
01:55:27,621 --> 01:55:28,422
those.

4666
01:55:28,422 --> 01:55:29,230
Exceptions as well.

4667
01:55:29,230 --> 01:55:30,591
Sure.

4668
01:55:30,591 --> 01:55:31,692
>> um and then my.

4669
01:55:31,692 --> 01:55:33,940
Last question would be.

4670
01:55:33,940 --> 01:55:33,795
Uh.

4671
01:55:33,795 --> 01:55:35,795
>> how much.

4672
01:55:35,830 --> 01:55:37,980
Conversation has been had with

4673
01:55:37,980 --> 01:55:38,666
center city partners as we've.

4674
01:55:38,666 --> 01:55:39,934
Seen they've they've taken.

4675
01:55:39,934 --> 01:55:40,702
Um, an approach when it.

4676
01:55:40,702 --> 01:55:41,200
Comes to food.

4677
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:42,437
Trucks.

4678
01:55:42,437 --> 01:55:43,700
>> uh, which I certainly

4679
01:55:43,700 --> 01:55:44,171
disagree with.

4680
01:55:44,171 --> 01:55:46,171
But given.

4681
01:55:46,374 --> 01:55:48,409
That a lot of this activity is

4682
01:55:48,409 --> 01:55:49,543
happening and their footprint

4683
01:55:49,543 --> 01:55:49,745
according to the memo that we

4684
01:55:49,745 --> 01:55:50,679
just.

4685
01:55:50,679 --> 01:55:51,146
Write not to say.

4686
01:55:51,146 --> 01:55:52,800
That it's.

4687
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:53,648
>> not immune.

4688
01:55:53,648 --> 01:55:54,582
To just that area.

4689
01:55:54,582 --> 01:55:56,318
Um.

4690
01:55:56,318 --> 01:55:56,518
>> I would like to see what

4691
01:55:56,518 --> 01:55:58,518
what.

4692
01:55:58,987 --> 01:55:59,954
Prevents business districts or

4693
01:55:59,954 --> 01:56:01,856
private public partnerships

4694
01:56:01,856 --> 01:56:02,991
from sharing that load or

4695
01:56:02,991 --> 01:56:03,658
enforcing localized safety in

4696
01:56:03,658 --> 01:56:04,892
that way.

4697
01:56:04,892 --> 01:56:06,270
I think we had that interest

4698
01:56:06,270 --> 01:56:07,296
there already have been spoken

4699
01:56:07,296 --> 01:56:08,330
to center city partners

4700
01:56:08,330 --> 01:56:08,597
specifically about it, but

4701
01:56:08,597 --> 01:56:09,565
we've had.

4702
01:56:09,565 --> 01:56:10,131
Conversations with other.

4703
01:56:10,131 --> 01:56:10,565
Partners like bank.

4704
01:56:10,565 --> 01:56:12,133
>> of.

4705
01:56:12,133 --> 01:56:12,601
America fifth third bank.

4706
01:56:12,601 --> 01:56:14,303
Who want.

4707
01:56:14,303 --> 01:56:15,437
To who have asked me

4708
01:56:15,437 --> 01:56:16,871
specifically how can they help

4709
01:56:16,871 --> 01:56:18,640
and what kind of youth programs

4710
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:19,274
can they provide or.

4711
01:56:19,274 --> 01:56:20,975
Support towards?

4712
01:56:20,975 --> 01:56:21,743
We have it in the.

4713
01:56:21,743 --> 01:56:22,544
Private sector.

4714
01:56:22,544 --> 01:56:24,112
Thank you chief.

4715
01:56:24,112 --> 01:56:25,347
And the last thing is I mean I.

4716
01:56:25,347 --> 01:56:26,315
>> have my 18 year old sister

4717
01:56:26,315 --> 01:56:26,648
here who wanted me to.

4718
01:56:26,648 --> 01:56:26,882
>> ask.

4719
01:56:26,882 --> 01:56:27,316
The.

4720
01:56:27,316 --> 01:56:28,884
Question but.

4721
01:56:28,884 --> 01:56:29,251
If she gets stopped by an

4722
01:56:29,251 --> 01:56:30,185
officer.

4723
01:56:30,185 --> 01:56:31,120
How are they going to.

4724
01:56:31,120 --> 01:56:31,787
Believe that.

4725
01:56:31,787 --> 01:56:32,530
>> she was at work?

4726
01:56:32,530 --> 01:56:32,821
Right?

4727
01:56:32,821 --> 01:56:33,880
She works at a tennis.

4728
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:34,623
Court.

4729
01:56:34,623 --> 01:56:37,230
>> not volleyball courts at 9

4730
01:56:37,326 --> 01:56:38,760
P.M. Until nine 930 10 P.M. Um

4731
01:56:38,760 --> 01:56:40,162
kids are getting misjudged.

4732
01:56:40,162 --> 01:56:42,231
For being part of these teen.

4733
01:56:42,231 --> 01:56:43,599
Teen um takeovers.

4734
01:56:43,599 --> 01:56:44,700
How are.

4735
01:56:44,700 --> 01:56:45,301
How is.

4736
01:56:45,301 --> 01:56:46,402
Cmpd going to.

4737
01:56:46,402 --> 01:56:47,536
Promise that they're not

4738
01:56:47,536 --> 01:56:47,870
misjudged for being on the road

4739
01:56:47,870 --> 01:56:49,870
after work?

4740
01:56:50,839 --> 01:56:51,974
So I think we approach it the

4741
01:56:51,974 --> 01:56:52,941
same way we do with any other

4742
01:56:52,941 --> 01:56:53,175
interaction we have with the

4743
01:56:53,175 --> 01:56:54,543
public.

4744
01:56:54,543 --> 01:56:55,644
We can do a voluntary contact

4745
01:56:55,644 --> 01:56:58,460
where we go up to the person,

4746
01:56:58,460 --> 01:56:59,481
talk to them um and then just

4747
01:56:59,481 --> 01:57:01,840
try to determine ascertain what

4748
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:02,510
their age is and also to you

4749
01:57:02,510 --> 01:57:03,152
know, call their parents

4750
01:57:03,152 --> 01:57:05,354
whatever the case MAY be.

4751
01:57:05,354 --> 01:57:06,322
um, if we cannot determine the

4752
01:57:06,322 --> 01:57:07,123
person's age then we can't

4753
01:57:07,123 --> 01:57:08,391
violate them, right?

4754
01:57:08,391 --> 01:57:09,358
We cannot say that they're in

4755
01:57:09,358 --> 01:57:09,691
violation of the youth

4756
01:57:09,691 --> 01:57:10,793
ordinance.

4757
01:57:10,793 --> 01:57:12,962
We do our best to try to.

4758
01:57:12,962 --> 01:57:14,396
Determine that information and

4759
01:57:14,396 --> 01:57:15,998
quite naturally if a youth is

4760
01:57:15,998 --> 01:57:17,901
telling us they just got off

4761
01:57:17,901 --> 01:57:18,868
work and we look in the car, we

4762
01:57:18,868 --> 01:57:20,470
see that they have an apron

4763
01:57:20,470 --> 01:57:21,604
maybe come in from work and

4764
01:57:21,604 --> 01:57:22,839
they say I'm going home.

4765
01:57:22,839 --> 01:57:23,206
Our officers are very

4766
01:57:23,206 --> 01:57:24,440
reasonable.

4767
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:25,875
We have that discretion to be

4768
01:57:25,875 --> 01:57:27,677
able to say okay, this person

4769
01:57:27,677 --> 01:57:28,578
is doing something meaningful.

4770
01:57:28,578 --> 01:57:30,120
They're not out getting in

4771
01:57:30,120 --> 01:57:30,212
trouble and that they're headed

4772
01:57:30,212 --> 01:57:32,810
home.

4773
01:57:32,810 --> 01:57:33,816
We're not again, I don't think

4774
01:57:33,816 --> 01:57:36,186
I can say it enough that we are

4775
01:57:36,186 --> 01:57:38,186
not going after.

4776
01:57:38,388 --> 01:57:38,722
Youth who are doing the right

4777
01:57:38,722 --> 01:57:39,155
thing.

4778
01:57:39,155 --> 01:57:40,223
We are trying.

4779
01:57:40,223 --> 01:57:40,657
>> to reduce victimization.

4780
01:57:40,657 --> 01:57:41,925
We are.

4781
01:57:41,925 --> 01:57:42,158
>> trying to reduce crime

4782
01:57:42,158 --> 01:57:43,526
across.

4783
01:57:43,526 --> 01:57:44,761
The board.

4784
01:57:44,761 --> 01:57:45,595
>> so we will take every

4785
01:57:45,595 --> 01:57:46,196
measure we can do.

4786
01:57:46,196 --> 01:57:46,629
To do.

4787
01:57:46,629 --> 01:57:48,164
>> that and.

4788
01:57:48,164 --> 01:57:49,131
>> educating um our team I

4789
01:57:49,131 --> 01:57:49,632
think is really important to

4790
01:57:49,632 --> 01:57:50,366
make sure.

4791
01:57:50,366 --> 01:57:51,434
>> that that happens.

4792
01:57:51,434 --> 01:57:52,502
Thank you chief.

4793
01:57:52,502 --> 01:57:54,438
And last thing manager I saw

4794
01:57:54,438 --> 01:57:55,105
that map of youth opportunities

4795
01:57:55,105 --> 01:57:57,107
COUNCILMAN Gap in district.

4796
01:57:57,107 --> 01:57:57,307
Five so we should talk about

4797
01:57:57,307 --> 01:57:57,641
that.

4798
01:57:57,641 --> 01:57:58,875
Thank you.

4799
01:57:58,875 --> 01:57:59,676
And I think obviously if there

4800
01:57:59,676 --> 01:58:00,910
were additional.

4801
01:58:00,910 --> 01:58:02,212
questions chief I assume you

4802
01:58:02,212 --> 01:58:03,180
would take questions that are

4803
01:58:03,180 --> 01:58:05,180
made offline.

4804
01:58:05,682 --> 01:58:05,882
Um, to just go in, you know,

4805
01:58:05,882 --> 01:58:06,482
in.

4806
01:58:06,482 --> 01:58:08,217
Writing or not.

4807
01:58:08,217 --> 01:58:09,753
Council member johnson.

4808
01:58:09,753 --> 01:58:11,188
Thank you.

01:58:11,188 --> 01:58:11,555
>> um, MR. Jones.

4810

>> or.

4811
01:58:12,823 --> 01:58:14,558
Council member MAY I'd like to

4812
01:58:14,558 --> 01:58:14,992
get a hard copy of that math.

4813
01:58:14,992 --> 01:58:15,325
>> that.

4814
01:58:15,325 --> 01:58:15,659
We great.

4815
01:58:15,659 --> 01:58:17,659
Thank you.

4816
01:58:17,694 --> 01:58:18,695
Um.

4817
01:58:18,695 --> 01:58:19,963
>> chief, thank you for your.

4818
01:58:19,963 --> 01:58:22,499
Presentation and thank you for

4819
01:58:22,499 --> 01:58:24,100
the intent to reduce violence

4820
01:58:24,100 --> 01:58:24,267
and and stop the teen takeovers

4821
01:58:24,267 --> 01:58:25,350
.

4822
01:58:25,350 --> 01:58:25,769
.

4823
01:58:25,769 --> 01:58:27,300
>> since we've.

4824
01:58:27,300 --> 01:58:29,373
>> been talking about this, has

4825
01:58:29,373 --> 01:58:30,207
there been any reduction in the

4826
01:58:30,207 --> 01:58:31,609
teen takeovers?

4827
01:58:31,609 --> 01:58:33,609
Yes, ma'am.

4828
01:58:34,878 --> 01:58:35,212
We have had a reported 40 teen

4829
01:58:35,212 --> 01:58:37,212
takeovers.

4830
01:58:37,881 --> 01:58:38,916
Um, and seven of those were I'm

4831
01:58:38,916 --> 01:58:40,517
sorry, three of them we were

4832
01:58:40,517 --> 01:58:42,119
able to prevent to get ahead of

4833
01:58:42,119 --> 01:58:43,860
and so we are starting to see

4834
01:58:43,860 --> 01:58:43,286
where that number is going

4835
01:58:43,286 --> 01:58:44,521
down.

4836
01:58:44,521 --> 01:58:44,722
I think the word is getting

4837
01:58:44,722 --> 01:58:46,722
out.

4838
01:58:47,580 --> 01:58:48,492
I think parents are hearing

4839
01:58:48,492 --> 01:58:49,627
what we are talking about and

4840
01:58:49,627 --> 01:58:50,661
they are encouraging their

4841
01:58:50,661 --> 01:58:51,195
young people not to be in.

4842
01:58:51,195 --> 01:58:52,396
>> those.

4843
01:58:52,396 --> 01:58:53,831
Places or they're making sure

4844
01:58:53,831 --> 01:58:54,164
that they're not part of teen

4845
01:58:54,164 --> 01:58:55,266
takeovers.

4846
01:58:55,266 --> 01:58:56,967
Okay.

4847
01:58:56,967 --> 01:58:58,402
>> so there has been a

4848
01:58:58,402 --> 01:59:01,405
reduction in the point of this

4849
01:59:01,405 --> 01:59:02,207
curfew is to reduce those teen

4850
01:59:02,207 --> 01:59:03,174
takeovers, right?

4851
01:59:03,174 --> 01:59:04,575
yes, ma'am.

4852
01:59:04,575 --> 01:59:05,243
It's been a reduction since we

4853
01:59:05,243 --> 01:59:05,710
have been talking.

4854
01:59:05,710 --> 01:59:06,144
>> about it.

4855
01:59:06,144 --> 01:59:06,410
>> right.

4856
01:59:06,410 --> 01:59:07,110
Thank you.

4857
01:59:07,110 --> 01:59:08,746
>> um.

4858
01:59:08,746 --> 01:59:10,614
>> is curfew.

4859
01:59:10,614 --> 01:59:12,614
Violation probable.

4860
01:59:12,783 --> 01:59:13,751
Cause for a traffic stop?

4861
01:59:13,751 --> 01:59:15,751
Um.

4862
01:59:17,321 --> 01:59:18,589
>> thank you.

4863
01:59:18,589 --> 01:59:19,858
>> councilmember johnson.

4864
01:59:19,858 --> 01:59:20,225
And so in order for an officer.

4865
01:59:20,225 --> 01:59:21,493
>> to.

4866
01:59:21,493 --> 01:59:22,627
Conduct a traffic stop, they

4867
01:59:22,627 --> 01:59:22,894
would have to have reasonable

4868
01:59:22,894 --> 01:59:24,495
suspicion.

4869
01:59:24,495 --> 01:59:26,970
Um, that means reasonable,

4870
01:59:26,970 --> 01:59:27,398
articulable and specific facts

4871
01:59:27,398 --> 01:59:29,767
along with the inferences from

4872
01:59:29,767 --> 01:59:31,202
those facts that a crime has or

4873
01:59:31,202 --> 01:59:33,370
is about to be committed.

4874
01:59:33,370 --> 01:59:34,505
And so in order to determine

4875
01:59:34,505 --> 01:59:35,940
whether or not they are facts

4876
01:59:35,940 --> 01:59:37,843
that the curfew is about to be

4877
01:59:37,843 --> 01:59:39,444
violated, the officers, for

4878
01:59:39,444 --> 01:59:43,440
example, would have to see a

4879
01:59:43,381 --> 01:59:45,116
juvenile out and try to make a

4880
01:59:45,116 --> 01:59:47,519
visible um assessment of their

4881
01:59:47,519 --> 01:59:48,953
age and if that child were to

4882
01:59:48,953 --> 01:59:51,322
appear to be less than for

4883
01:59:51,322 --> 01:59:52,924
example the change to 17 if

4884
01:59:52,924 --> 01:59:54,580
they appear to be a minor, that

4885
01:59:54,580 --> 01:59:55,961
would be reasonable suspicion

4886
01:59:55,961 --> 01:59:56,294
for an officer to pull that car

4887
01:59:56,294 --> 01:59:58,294
over.

4888
01:59:59,264 --> 02:00:00,666
Okay.

4889
02:00:00,666 --> 02:00:02,234
Thank you.

4890
02:00:02,234 --> 02:00:04,234
Um.

4891
02:00:08,940 --> 02:00:09,741
Kind of off topic and is the.

4892
02:00:09,741 --> 02:00:10,208
Smell of.

4893
02:00:10,208 --> 02:00:11,142
Marijuana.

4894
02:00:11,142 --> 02:00:13,142
>> still probable.

4895
02:00:13,779 --> 02:00:16,140
Cause there's for, uh, even if

4896
02:00:16,140 --> 02:00:16,815
it's legal, cbd is still

4897
02:00:16,815 --> 02:00:17,182
probable cause to search the

4898
02:00:17,182 --> 02:00:18,584
car.

4899
02:00:18,584 --> 02:00:19,510
Yes.

4900
02:00:19,510 --> 02:00:19,752
>> okay.

4901
02:00:19,752 --> 02:00:20,852
>> the sight.

4902
02:00:20,852 --> 02:00:22,120
And order of marijuana is still

4903
02:00:22,120 --> 02:00:23,722
probable cause to search and

4904
02:00:23,722 --> 02:00:25,590
there was new case law.

4905
02:00:25,590 --> 02:00:26,691
Forgive me for not recalling

4906
02:00:26,691 --> 02:00:28,927
that name right now, but there

4907
02:00:28,927 --> 02:00:30,196
was a case as recently as last

4908
02:00:30,196 --> 02:00:30,863
winter that.

4909
02:00:30,863 --> 02:00:31,998
>> the north carolina.

4910
02:00:31,998 --> 02:00:33,432
Court of appeals affirmed that

4911
02:00:33,432 --> 02:00:33,799
sight or odor of marijuana is

4912
02:00:33,799 --> 02:00:34,200
probable cause.

4913
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:35,901
>> to.

4914
02:00:35,901 --> 02:00:36,702
Search even with the existing

4915
02:00:36,702 --> 02:00:38,702
is existence.

4916
02:00:40,500 --> 02:00:40,272
Excuse me of legal cbd and hemp

4917
02:00:40,272 --> 02:00:40,639
products.

4918
02:00:40,639 --> 02:00:41,273
Okay.

4919
02:00:41,273 --> 02:00:41,740
All right.

4920
02:00:41,740 --> 02:00:42,374
That's a hope.

4921
02:00:42,374 --> 02:00:42,841
You all know.

4922
02:00:42,841 --> 02:00:43,308
>> okay.

4923
02:00:43,308 --> 02:00:45,176
All right.

4924
02:00:45,176 --> 02:00:45,644
Um, next.

4925
02:00:45,644 --> 02:00:47,213
Um.

4926
02:00:47,213 --> 02:00:49,213
>> we.

4927
02:00:51,117 --> 02:00:52,819
>> um I.

4928
02:00:52,819 --> 02:00:55,819
>> would agree with the pilot.

4929
02:00:55,955 --> 02:00:56,322
I'd like to see us taking more

4930
02:00:56,322 --> 02:00:57,389
action.

4931
02:00:57,389 --> 02:00:58,824
I spoke to someone today.

4932
02:00:58,824 --> 02:00:59,825
Thank you, doctor stewart.

4933
02:00:59,825 --> 02:01:00,826
>> for the work you're doing.

02:01:00,826 --> 02:01:01,193
I thought I spoke to a

4935
02:01:01,193 --> 02:01:02,261
community.

4936
02:01:02,261 --> 02:01:03,362

out charlotte program.

4941
02:01:10,103 --> 02:01:10,370
And so I think we need more

4942
02:01:10,370 --> 02:01:11,700
programs.

4943
02:01:11,700 --> 02:01:12,338
Like that.

4944
02:01:12,338 --> 02:01:14,700
>> I'd like to see this going

4945
02:01:14,700 --> 02:01:15,141
to the intergovernmental

4946
02:01:15,141 --> 02:01:18,141
committee so we can bring

02:01:21,130 --> 02:01:21,213
putting a date of birth on this

4950
02:01:21,213 --> 02:01:21,447

4951
02:01:21,447 --> 02:01:23,447

>> children's id and then we

4953
02:01:26,953 --> 02:01:29,489
can look at um, more graduated

4954
02:01:29,489 --> 02:01:31,391

great youth summit.

I think this would be a great

4961
02:01:36,729 --> 02:01:37,797
time for us to bring youth.

4962
02:01:37,797 --> 02:01:39,797
Together and.

4963
02:01:40,467 --> 02:01:41,902

Already in the works.

4969
02:01:45,772 --> 02:01:46,239
Good.

4970
02:01:46,239 --> 02:01:46,840
Yeah.

4971
02:01:46,840 --> 02:01:47,774
We need some.

4972
02:01:47,774 --> 02:01:48,742
We need that right now.

4973
02:01:48,742 --> 02:01:49,809
Thank you.

4974
02:01:49,809 --> 02:01:51,778
It was a youth who spoke today.

4975
02:01:51,778 --> 02:01:55,378
She she'd be great as well.

4976
02:01:55,515 --> 02:01:57,284
Um, yeah, I'd like to see a a

4977
02:01:57,284 --> 02:01:59,284
pilot program.

4978
02:02:00,554 --> 02:02:00,754
Before we implement the curfew

4979
02:02:00,754 --> 02:02:02,156
.

4980
02:02:02,156 --> 02:02:03,724
Um, let's look at partnership.

4981
02:02:03,724 --> 02:02:04,191
More partnership grants.

4982
02:02:04,191 --> 02:02:06,159
Um.

4983
02:02:06,159 --> 02:02:07,930
Intergovernmental committee.

4984
02:02:07,930 --> 02:02:08,261
Um more.

4985
02:02:08,261 --> 02:02:08,795
Opportunities.

4986
02:02:08,795 --> 02:02:10,795
>> um.

4987
02:02:11,464 --> 02:02:14,300
For third spaces, a youth

4988
02:02:14,300 --> 02:02:15,236
summit and bringing youth on.

4989
02:02:15,236 --> 02:02:17,236
Board perhaps.

4990
02:02:18,539 --> 02:02:20,908
To volunteer to to uh look at

4991
02:02:20,908 --> 02:02:22,976
social media because we know we

4992
02:02:22,976 --> 02:02:23,944
don't want this to impact the

4993
02:02:23,944 --> 02:02:25,212
students who are trying to work

4994
02:02:25,212 --> 02:02:25,846
and date and do normal.

4995
02:02:25,846 --> 02:02:26,446
Teenage stuff.

4996
02:02:26,446 --> 02:02:27,247
I think that.

4997
02:02:27,247 --> 02:02:28,815
They would be on.

4998
02:02:28,815 --> 02:02:29,283
Board in helping.

4999
02:02:29,283 --> 02:02:29,750
>> us.

5000
02:02:29,750 --> 02:02:30,183
So they.

5001
02:02:30,183 --> 02:02:30,617
>> could.

5002
02:02:30,617 --> 02:02:31,919
Get involved.

5003
02:02:31,919 --> 02:02:33,521
>> through that youth summit

5004
02:02:33,521 --> 02:02:35,423
through volunteering and

5005
02:02:35,423 --> 02:02:36,724
reporting where these teen

5006
02:02:36,724 --> 02:02:37,725
takeovers are being held.

5007
02:02:37,725 --> 02:02:37,992
You know, they could we could

5008
02:02:37,992 --> 02:02:39,992
have a.

5009
02:02:41,428 --> 02:02:42,129
Hip hop hotline or tip website

5010
02:02:42,129 --> 02:02:42,663
or something.

5011
02:02:42,663 --> 02:02:42,997
>> like that.

5012
02:02:42,997 --> 02:02:44,965
I think.

5013
02:02:44,965 --> 02:02:45,332
This is the time to engage the

5014
02:02:45,332 --> 02:02:46,266
youth.

5015
02:02:46,266 --> 02:02:47,201
And really help us.

5016
02:02:47,201 --> 02:02:49,201
We have.

5017
02:02:49,236 --> 02:02:50,972
Heard that just talking about

5018
02:02:50,972 --> 02:02:53,508
this and addressing this the

5019
02:02:53,508 --> 02:02:53,841
teen takeovers are already

5020
02:02:53,841 --> 02:02:55,276
reduced.

5021
02:02:55,276 --> 02:02:57,278
So I think more.

5022
02:02:57,278 --> 02:02:59,513
Outreach and engagement with

5023
02:02:59,513 --> 02:02:59,847
the community um is our

5024
02:02:59,847 --> 02:03:01,847
solution.

5025
02:03:02,183 --> 02:03:03,951
Um uh through a pilot program

5026
02:03:03,951 --> 02:03:06,190
and then let's revisit after

5027
02:03:06,190 --> 02:03:06,653
there's been some uh we

5028
02:03:06,653 --> 02:03:07,756
established baseline data.

5029
02:03:07,756 --> 02:03:09,756
Before the.

5030
02:03:10,425 --> 02:03:11,693
Pilot and perhaps report back

5031
02:03:11,693 --> 02:03:14,930
after six months on.

5032
02:03:14,195 --> 02:03:16,195
Juvenile violent incidents,

5033
02:03:16,264 --> 02:03:18,664
arrest teen takeover events.

5034
02:03:19,534 --> 02:03:20,201
Repeat offenses and um, just

5035
02:03:20,201 --> 02:03:20,835
overall activity.

5036
02:03:20,835 --> 02:03:22,236
Thank you.

5037
02:03:22,236 --> 02:03:22,736
That's all I have.

5038
02:03:22,736 --> 02:03:23,637
>> thank you.

5039
02:03:23,637 --> 02:03:23,804
Council member johnson, council

5040
02:03:23,804 --> 02:03:24,406
.

5041
02:03:24,406 --> 02:03:25,307
>> member graham.

5042
02:03:25,307 --> 02:03:27,175
And then council member driggs.

5043
02:03:27,175 --> 02:03:29,511
Uh, thank you, MR. Mayor.

5044
02:03:29,511 --> 02:03:29,744
Uh, I didn't have a 9 P.M.

5045
02:03:29,744 --> 02:03:30,946
Curfew.

5046
02:03:30,946 --> 02:03:31,446
I had two street.

5047
02:03:31,446 --> 02:03:31,613
>> lights.

5048
02:03:31,613 --> 02:03:32,800
.

5049
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:33,181
>> right.

5050
02:03:33,181 --> 02:03:34,916
Um.

5051
02:03:34,916 --> 02:03:36,170
>> I will be on the tennis

5052
02:03:36,170 --> 02:03:37,786
court and I'll be riding that

5053
02:03:37,786 --> 02:03:40,121
bike as fast as I can.

5054
02:03:40,121 --> 02:03:41,857
To get home because I know if I

5055
02:03:41,857 --> 02:03:43,458
didn't make it there was

5056
02:03:43,458 --> 02:03:44,259
accountability at the end of

5057
02:03:44,259 --> 02:03:46,259
that ride.

5058
02:03:46,461 --> 02:03:48,630
And so I want to thank you for

5059
02:03:48,630 --> 02:03:49,164
your leadership in bringing

5060
02:03:49,164 --> 02:03:51,164
this forward.

5061
02:03:52,934 --> 02:03:54,202
Uh, this is a part of a crime

5062
02:03:54,202 --> 02:03:56,202
reduction strategy.

5063
02:03:56,705 --> 02:03:58,139
Big picture going back council

5064
02:03:58,139 --> 02:04:00,509
member wally tim and you met

5065
02:04:00,509 --> 02:04:03,450
two years ago in my basement

5066
02:04:03,450 --> 02:04:03,413
and there was a shooting on new

5067
02:04:03,413 --> 02:04:03,712
year's eve.

5068
02:04:03,712 --> 02:04:05,712
Right.

5069
02:04:06,214 --> 02:04:08,584
And we've been looking at a

5070
02:04:08,584 --> 02:04:11,119
wide variety of ordinance to

5071
02:04:11,119 --> 02:04:13,488
update, to enhance, to ensure

5072
02:04:13,488 --> 02:04:15,256
that we are doing everything

5073
02:04:15,256 --> 02:04:17,126
possible to curb crime.

5074
02:04:17,126 --> 02:04:19,280
And this is yet just another

5075
02:04:19,280 --> 02:04:20,930
example for the record there's

5076
02:04:20,930 --> 02:04:21,263
already the youth or um

5077
02:04:21,263 --> 02:04:21,530
ordinance.

5078
02:04:21,530 --> 02:04:22,665
Right?

5079
02:04:22,665 --> 02:04:23,799
I think we should say that this

5080
02:04:23,799 --> 02:04:25,799
is nothing new.

5081
02:04:26,100 --> 02:04:26,802
We're just amending it to

5082
02:04:26,802 --> 02:04:28,700
reflect current environment.

5083
02:04:28,700 --> 02:04:30,606
Uh what's happening on the

5084
02:04:30,606 --> 02:04:32,700
ground I think um I agree with

5085
02:04:32,700 --> 02:04:35,110
my colleagues that it should be

5086
02:04:35,110 --> 02:04:37,411
a pilot program narrowly

5087
02:04:38,180 --> 02:04:38,481
tailored youth led.

5088
02:04:38,481 --> 02:04:39,916
Right.

5089
02:04:39,916 --> 02:04:42,118
Uh, and then secondly, there

5090
02:04:42,118 --> 02:04:43,719
are a wide variety of

5091
02:04:43,719 --> 02:04:44,987
organizations in the community

5092
02:04:44,987 --> 02:04:47,356
that see shine kennedy up there

5093
02:04:47,356 --> 02:04:48,824
does a great job bringing 300

5094
02:04:48,824 --> 02:04:50,824
kids together.

5095
02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:53,630
Um, cambridge is doing this

5096
02:04:53,630 --> 02:04:54,965
charlotte so 1st SEPTEMBER

5097
02:04:54,965 --> 02:04:57,500

youth mothers fathers grandma

5099
02:04:59,402 --> 02:05:01,802
moms grandfather all coming

5100
02:05:01,937 --> 02:05:02,905
together a safe environment

5101
02:05:02,905 --> 02:05:04,905
great activity.

5102
02:05:04,940 --> 02:05:07,310
Uh, I'm doing the tennis camp

5103
02:05:07,310 --> 02:05:09,450
for 80 kids SEPTEMBER 12th.

5104
02:05:09,450 --> 02:05:11,248
So there's a lot of people in

5105
02:05:11,248 --> 02:05:11,548
this community love to work.

5106
02:05:11,548 --> 02:05:12,949
With you.

5107
02:05:12,949 --> 02:05:15,349
>> doctor stewart, to ensure

5108
02:05:15,952 --> 02:05:18,352
that there's balance between

5109
02:05:18,655 --> 02:05:18,855
the ordinance narrowly tailored

5110
02:05:18,855 --> 02:05:20,256
uh.

5111
02:05:20,256 --> 02:05:22,256
Youth led.

5112
02:05:23,993 --> 02:05:27,164
Um pilot program which is again

5113
02:05:27,164 --> 02:05:29,660
pilot your work is ongoing and

5114
02:05:29,660 --> 02:05:31,268
it can't be done when there's

5115
02:05:31,268 --> 02:05:33,503
an issue on the table it has to

5116
02:05:33,503 --> 02:05:35,105
be done when no one's looking

5117
02:05:35,105 --> 02:05:36,373
in terms of being very

5118
02:05:36,373 --> 02:05:38,741
intentional about working with

5119
02:05:38,741 --> 02:05:39,242
our youth, we solve the problem

5120
02:05:39,242 --> 02:05:41,242
about proximity.

5121
02:05:42,450 --> 02:05:44,113
We have a school in every

5122
02:05:44,113 --> 02:05:46,183
district in the city and the

5123
02:05:46,183 --> 02:05:48,850
county middle schools, high

5124
02:05:48,850 --> 02:05:49,686
schools on weekends when the

5125
02:05:49,686 --> 02:05:51,588
football season is over the

5126
02:05:51,588 --> 02:05:53,657
gyms are empty, the fields are

5127
02:05:53,657 --> 02:05:53,857
empty, the track is empty year

5128
02:05:53,857 --> 02:05:55,857
round.

5129
02:05:56,493 --> 02:05:59,196
There has to be a way for us to

5130
02:05:59,196 --> 02:06:01,640
rally around this community.

5131
02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:03,434
Getting the resources necessary

5132
02:06:03,434 --> 02:06:05,502
to do proper program throughout

5133
02:06:05,502 --> 02:06:07,204
the year for our.

5134
02:06:07,204 --> 02:06:09,106
Kids, right?

5135
02:06:09,106 --> 02:06:11,475
>> and so we can't do it when

5136
02:06:11,475 --> 02:06:11,809
there's a shooting or a

5137
02:06:11,809 --> 02:06:13,430
stabbing.

5138
02:06:13,430 --> 02:06:13,710
We can't do it when there's a

5139
02:06:13,710 --> 02:06:15,112
teen take over.

5140
02:06:15,112 --> 02:06:16,246
We got to do it because it's

5141
02:06:16,246 --> 02:06:19,490
the right thing to do.

5142
02:06:19,490 --> 02:06:19,417
And so I just encourage us to

5143
02:06:19,417 --> 02:06:19,717
move.

5144
02:06:19,717 --> 02:06:21,717
Forward.

5145
02:06:22,687 --> 02:06:25,560
>> uh, parallel with working

5146
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:26,223
with doctor steward to ensure

5147
02:06:26,223 --> 02:06:28,623
that we're doing everything

5148
02:06:29,660 --> 02:06:30,928
that we can to include others

5149
02:06:30,928 --> 02:06:32,696
churches, nonprofits, to

5150
02:06:32,696 --> 02:06:33,797
schools, uh, mecklenburg county

5151
02:06:33,797 --> 02:06:34,431
because they have parking.

5152
02:06:34,431 --> 02:06:35,232
Rec we have.

5153
02:06:35,232 --> 02:06:35,532
Rec centers.

5154
02:06:35,532 --> 02:06:37,402
Right.

5155
02:06:37,402 --> 02:06:38,536
But more importantly, boy,

5156
02:06:38,536 --> 02:06:40,104
there's schools throughout the

5157
02:06:40,104 --> 02:06:40,338
county high school, middle

5158
02:06:40,338 --> 02:06:42,338
school.

5159
02:06:42,340 --> 02:06:43,908
That's on weekends.

5160
02:06:43,908 --> 02:06:45,309
Are you know.

5161
02:06:45,309 --> 02:06:46,410
Thank you.

5162
02:06:46,410 --> 02:06:47,478
>> thank you.

5163
02:06:47,478 --> 02:06:48,120
>> council member graham

5164
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:49,413
council member driggs.

5165
02:06:49,413 --> 02:06:51,413
You're the final.

5166
02:06:51,749 --> 02:06:52,490
Discussant.

5167
02:06:52,490 --> 02:06:54,490
Caboose.

5168
02:06:55,353 --> 02:06:56,288
Uh, chief, um, takeovers.

5169
02:06:56,288 --> 02:06:57,522
Are a problem.

5170
02:06:57,522 --> 02:06:58,356
>> we asked you to do something

5171
02:06:58,356 --> 02:06:59,424
about it.

5172
02:06:59,424 --> 02:07:01,359
You're proposing this?

5173
02:07:01,359 --> 02:07:02,293
I think our strong inclination

5174
02:07:02,293 --> 02:07:03,995
should be to back you up.

5175
02:07:03,995 --> 02:07:04,329
You're the expert in these

5176
02:07:04,329 --> 02:07:04,796
matters.

5177
02:07:04,796 --> 02:07:06,531
Uh.

5178
02:07:06,531 --> 02:07:07,331
>> we are making you

5179
02:07:07,331 --> 02:07:08,432
responsible for success.

5180
02:07:08,432 --> 02:07:10,432
So, uh.

5181
02:07:11,402 --> 02:07:13,772
I will certainly, uh, want to

5182
02:07:13,772 --> 02:07:14,239
see us proceed with a curfew.

5183
02:07:14,239 --> 02:07:16,239
Um.

5184
02:07:18,900 --> 02:07:18,977
>> I will say that, uh, some of

5185
02:07:18,977 --> 02:07:19,544
this comes down to how you

5186
02:07:19,544 --> 02:07:20,312
imagine it's going to.

5187
02:07:20,312 --> 02:07:22,312
Work and.

5188
02:07:23,615 --> 02:07:25,216
I believe that some people are

5189
02:07:25,216 --> 02:07:26,351
painting a criminal eyes and

5190
02:07:26,351 --> 02:07:27,418
they're they're painting.

5191
02:07:27,418 --> 02:07:29,418
>> uh, a really.

5192
02:07:30,389 --> 02:07:32,724
Difficult picture in practice.

5193
02:07:32,724 --> 02:07:33,859
What I imagine happens here is

5194
02:07:33,859 --> 02:07:34,393
that young people.

5195
02:07:34,393 --> 02:07:35,360
Kind of go.

5196
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:37,620
>> about their business.

5197
02:07:37,620 --> 02:07:38,964
They probably fall under said

5198
02:07:38,964 --> 02:07:41,320
these exceptions, uh, they're

5199
02:07:41,320 --> 02:07:42,767
not going to be accosted and

5200
02:07:42,767 --> 02:07:44,235
stopped on the street because

5201
02:07:44,235 --> 02:07:46,371
they will be kind of presumed

5202
02:07:46,371 --> 02:07:48,700
to be out, uh, legitimately.

5203
02:07:48,700 --> 02:07:49,275
You can't judge a person's age

5204
02:07:49,275 --> 02:07:51,477
just by looking at them.

5205
02:07:51,477 --> 02:07:52,911
And so not only do you not have

5206
02:07:52,911 --> 02:07:54,120
the resources, I just don't

5207
02:07:54,120 --> 02:07:55,347
think it's your intent to go

5208
02:07:55,347 --> 02:07:56,415
around and challenge.

5209
02:07:56,415 --> 02:07:58,283
>> every individual.

5210
02:07:58,283 --> 02:07:59,510
And I'm willing personally.

5211
02:07:59,510 --> 02:08:00,452
>> to trust that.

5212
02:08:00,452 --> 02:08:02,452
So uh.

5213
02:08:03,421 --> 02:08:05,158
That means that uh on.

5214
02:08:05,158 --> 02:08:07,590
The other hand, when you see

5215
02:08:07,590 --> 02:08:08,961
something that your officers

5216
02:08:08,961 --> 02:08:10,960
recognize as being something

5217
02:08:10,960 --> 02:08:11,997
dangerous that could be taking

5218
02:08:11,997 --> 02:08:13,599
shape and they want to go up

5219
02:08:13,599 --> 02:08:14,700
and do something about it,

5220
02:08:14,700 --> 02:08:16,301
they've got they can't just

5221
02:08:16,301 --> 02:08:18,700
walk up to those kids and say

5222
02:08:18,700 --> 02:08:20,105
guys, you know, please go home

5223
02:08:20,105 --> 02:08:20,773
and the kids just stick their

5224
02:08:20,773 --> 02:08:22,773
tongue out right?

5225
02:08:23,576 --> 02:08:25,378
And so I envision this as a way

5226
02:08:25,378 --> 02:08:26,746
of the officers if necessary.

5227
02:08:26,746 --> 02:08:28,746
Uh.

5228
02:08:29,248 --> 02:08:31,617
>> requiring somebody who isn't

5229
02:08:31,617 --> 02:08:32,284
cooperative uh, versus the

5230
02:08:32,284 --> 02:08:33,352
ordinance to go home.

5231
02:08:33,352 --> 02:08:35,352
Or to leave.

5232
02:08:37,756 --> 02:08:39,192
And then uh, so that's kind of

5233
02:08:39,192 --> 02:08:39,392
a question of how you expect

5234
02:08:39,392 --> 02:08:40,293
that.

5235
02:08:40,293 --> 02:08:42,293
Will work.

5236
02:08:42,962 --> 02:08:43,930
And uh, I have thought also

5237
02:08:43,930 --> 02:08:45,331
about the pilot idea.

5238
02:08:45,331 --> 02:08:46,432
Uh.

5239
02:08:46,432 --> 02:08:47,867
>> and I agree that something

5240
02:08:47,867 --> 02:08:50,690
like that needs to happen.

5241
02:08:50,690 --> 02:08:51,637
My only issue about a pilot as

5242
02:08:51,637 --> 02:08:52,772
you think about this is how

5243
02:08:52,772 --> 02:08:54,507
long right?

5244
02:08:54,507 --> 02:08:56,242
So if you realize that over the

5245
02:08:56,242 --> 02:08:58,110
span of a year there's a cycle,

5246
02:08:58,110 --> 02:08:59,579
right, that there are different

5247
02:08:59,579 --> 02:08:59,946
conditions in the different

5248
02:08:59,946 --> 02:09:01,946
seasons.

5249
02:09:02,582 --> 02:09:04,500
Uh, so do you do a pilot for a

5250
02:09:04,500 --> 02:09:06,860
year that sounds like a long

5251
02:09:06,860 --> 02:09:06,753
time or do you do a pilot for

5252
02:09:06,753 --> 02:09:07,353
six months?

5253
02:09:07,353 --> 02:09:09,353
Not sure.

5254
02:09:10,356 --> 02:09:11,924
So uh, one possibility I

5255
02:09:11,924 --> 02:09:13,326
thought of is we go ahead.

5256
02:09:13,326 --> 02:09:15,326
We implement.

5257
02:09:16,797 --> 02:09:20,397
This curfew and then we just

5258
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:22,736
get ongoing reports ongoing.

5259
02:09:22,736 --> 02:09:25,138
We we listen for complaints or

5260
02:09:25,138 --> 02:09:27,400
for for feedback from the

5261
02:09:27,400 --> 02:09:27,841
community at any time we can

5262
02:09:27,841 --> 02:09:29,742
change it.

5263
02:09:29,742 --> 02:09:30,844
This council has the authority

5264
02:09:30,844 --> 02:09:31,712
at any time if.

5265
02:09:31,712 --> 02:09:32,947
>> we don't like the way.

5266
02:09:32,947 --> 02:09:35,449
It's going to just change it.

5267
02:09:35,449 --> 02:09:35,782
So it MAY not be that the pilot

5268
02:09:35,782 --> 02:09:37,500
is busy.

5269
02:09:37,500 --> 02:09:38,619
I'm not at all opposed to it.

5270
02:09:38,619 --> 02:09:40,530
I'm just saying in practice I

5271
02:09:40,530 --> 02:09:42,723
wonder if we should just start

5272
02:09:42,723 --> 02:09:44,491
down this road and uh and sort

5273
02:09:44,491 --> 02:09:47,127
of see how we go.

5274
02:09:47,127 --> 02:09:48,295
Uh, and I do think that we can

5275
02:09:48,295 --> 02:09:49,397
get the kind of information

5276
02:09:49,397 --> 02:09:51,990
that is suggested from you.

5277
02:09:51,990 --> 02:09:53,167
We can hear about how many

5278
02:09:53,167 --> 02:09:55,236
instances there have been uh or

5279
02:09:55,236 --> 02:09:55,603
uh how many of these takeovers

5280
02:09:55,603 --> 02:09:56,370
were averted.

5281
02:09:56,370 --> 02:09:58,370
Is it working?

5282
02:09:58,705 --> 02:10:00,340
Uh, the problem with data is

5283
02:10:00,340 --> 02:10:02,900
this is not very scientific.

5284
02:10:02,900 --> 02:10:02,976
I think the data from another

5285
02:10:02,976 --> 02:10:04,770
community is a.

5286
02:10:04,770 --> 02:10:05,846
Different mix, uh, and

5287
02:10:05,846 --> 02:10:07,581
different circumstances and at

5288
02:10:07,581 --> 02:10:09,981
a different time before

5289
02:10:10,251 --> 02:10:11,552
takeovers became vogue uh, is

5290
02:10:11,552 --> 02:10:13,154
is not going to be a good

5291
02:10:13,154 --> 02:10:14,121
guidepost was the best

5292
02:10:14,121 --> 02:10:17,910
guidepost for us is what

5293
02:10:17,910 --> 02:10:18,559
happens uh, as we start here

5294
02:10:18,559 --> 02:10:20,127
uh, and you know, if there's a

5295
02:10:20,127 --> 02:10:21,261
backlash immediately and we get

5296
02:10:21,261 --> 02:10:22,696
a whole lot of reports of kids

5297
02:10:22,696 --> 02:10:24,599
saying oh my GOD, you know, uh

5298
02:10:24,599 --> 02:10:26,668
,I was I was in handcuffs

5299
02:10:26,668 --> 02:10:27,802
because I'm 16, you know, I'm

5300
02:10:27,802 --> 02:10:28,937
sure that would cause a lot of

5301
02:10:28,937 --> 02:10:31,337
us to think again.

5302
02:10:32,673 --> 02:10:32,874
So, uh, please keep working on

5303
02:10:32,874 --> 02:10:33,808
this.

5304
02:10:33,808 --> 02:10:34,775
I look forward to how you

5305
02:10:34,775 --> 02:10:34,942
process what you heard tonight

5306
02:10:34,942 --> 02:10:36,210
.

5307
02:10:36,210 --> 02:10:37,645
Uh, I just want you to know

5308
02:10:37,645 --> 02:10:38,779
that I do support, uh, what

5309
02:10:38,779 --> 02:10:39,130
you're doing and the idea of a

5310
02:10:39,130 --> 02:10:39,413
curfew.

5311
02:10:39,413 --> 02:10:40,981
Thank you.

5312
02:10:40,981 --> 02:10:41,315
Thank you, council member

5313
02:10:41,315 --> 02:10:42,584
driggs.

5314
02:10:42,584 --> 02:10:43,384
Chief patterson, do you have

5315
02:10:43,384 --> 02:10:44,552
any other comments?

5316
02:10:44,552 --> 02:10:45,520
And then I don't want to invite

5317
02:10:45,520 --> 02:10:46,654
any other discussion because I

5318
02:10:46,654 --> 02:10:47,455
think everyone who has asked to

5319
02:10:47,455 --> 02:10:48,890
be heard has been heard.

5320
02:10:48,890 --> 02:10:50,158
We want to make sure there's no

5321
02:10:50,158 --> 02:10:51,292
other business from council but

5322
02:10:51,292 --> 02:10:51,559
chief, do you have any other

5323
02:10:51,559 --> 02:10:51,993
comments?

5324
02:10:51,993 --> 02:10:52,860
>> I would.

5325
02:10:52,860 --> 02:10:53,361
Just close by saying that.

5326
02:10:53,361 --> 02:10:54,595
>> I've.

5327
02:10:54,595 --> 02:10:55,563
Listened to everything that

5328
02:10:55,563 --> 02:10:57,131
council members have stated.

5329
02:10:57,131 --> 02:10:57,465
Um thank you so much for your

5330
02:10:57,465 --> 02:10:59,465
input.

5331
02:10:59,668 --> 02:11:00,636
Um, at this time if if it's

5332
02:11:00,636 --> 02:11:02,204
agreeable to you we'd like to

5333
02:11:02,204 --> 02:11:02,404
explore the specific provisions

5334
02:11:02,404 --> 02:11:02,938
of.

5335
02:11:02,938 --> 02:11:03,438
>> a.

5336
02:11:03,438 --> 02:11:04,372
Pilot and.

5337
02:11:04,372 --> 02:11:04,840
Also talk.

5338
02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:05,607
>> about.

5339
02:11:05,607 --> 02:11:07,509
The partnerships that would

5340
02:11:07,509 --> 02:11:09,770
become as a result of it.

5341
02:11:09,770 --> 02:11:10,450
So if that is okay with the

5342
02:11:10,450 --> 02:11:11,120
council to proceed in that

5343
02:11:11,120 --> 02:11:11,212
manner we would like to do

5344
02:11:11,212 --> 02:11:11,846
that.

5345
02:11:11,846 --> 02:11:13,846
Yes.

5346
02:11:14,315 --> 02:11:15,416
>> anything from council okay.

5347
02:11:15,416 --> 02:11:17,416
Thank you.

5348
02:11:17,619 --> 02:11:19,619
>> yeah fine.

5349
02:11:20,255 --> 02:11:21,390
Question whether you want to

5350
02:11:21,390 --> 02:11:22,824
move forward with the pilot is

5351
02:11:22,824 --> 02:11:24,593
that moving forward with this

5352
02:11:24,593 --> 02:11:25,560
9:00 time or we're saying

5353
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:27,960
separate we're moving forward

5354
02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:29,300
with the pilot first to start

5355
02:11:29,300 --> 02:11:31,300
that conversation.

5356
02:11:31,399 --> 02:11:33,601
Are you interpreting the yes

5357
02:11:33,601 --> 02:11:36,601
from this council as changing

5358
02:11:36,605 --> 02:11:38,400
the current 11 P.M. Curfew time

5359
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:38,374
down to 9 P.M.?

5360
02:11:38,374 --> 02:11:40,242
Yes.

5361
02:11:40,242 --> 02:11:42,144
>> I'm interpreting that we

5362
02:11:42,144 --> 02:11:44,346
move forward with a 9 P.M. So

5363
02:11:44,346 --> 02:11:44,847
that we can gather data on a 9

5364
02:11:44,847 --> 02:11:45,947
P.M. Curfew.

5365
02:11:45,947 --> 02:11:47,516
Then I am a no.

5366
02:11:47,516 --> 02:11:49,318
I am fine with us moving with

5367
02:11:49,318 --> 02:11:52,121
the pilot I am not supporting

5368
02:11:52,121 --> 02:11:54,521
under any circumstance us

5369
02:11:54,657 --> 02:11:56,920
moving that time down to 9 P.M.

5370
02:11:56,920 --> 02:11:57,660
As we're going back into the

5371
02:11:57,660 --> 02:11:58,961
school time because a lot of

5372
02:11:58,961 --> 02:12:00,662
what we have seen.

5373
02:12:00,662 --> 02:12:03,532
Has happened over the summer

5374
02:12:03,532 --> 02:12:05,401
not during the school period.

5375
02:12:05,401 --> 02:12:06,401
So to even move forward with it

5376
02:12:06,401 --> 02:12:07,436
it is concerning.

5377
02:12:07,436 --> 02:12:08,203
So we do.

5378
02:12:08,203 --> 02:12:10,406
Not have an action.

5379
02:12:10,406 --> 02:12:10,782
Item tonight as I understand

5380
02:12:10,782 --> 02:12:12,408
it.

5381
02:12:12,408 --> 02:12:13,676
Chief, you will make the.

5382
02:12:13,676 --> 02:12:14,100
Suggestions that you've made

5383
02:12:14,100 --> 02:12:15,578
just now.

5384
02:12:15,578 --> 02:12:15,912
You'll make those proposed

5385
02:12:15,912 --> 02:12:17,912
changes.

5386
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:20,149
It will come back to us for an

5387
02:12:20,149 --> 02:12:20,349
action item at that point

5388
02:12:20,349 --> 02:12:21,684
there.

5389
02:12:21,684 --> 02:12:22,170
>> will presumably be a vote on

5390
02:12:22,170 --> 02:12:22,952
a motion.

5391
02:12:22,952 --> 02:12:24,952
So I.

5392
02:12:25,287 --> 02:12:25,487
Think we are finished in chief

5393
02:12:25,487 --> 02:12:26,723
.

5394
02:12:26,723 --> 02:12:27,457
Um, is there anything new?

5395
02:12:27,457 --> 02:12:28,491
Thank you.

5396
02:12:28,491 --> 02:12:29,859
>> just would you like to.

5397
02:12:29,859 --> 02:12:30,626
>> I don't think she's alone in

5398
02:12:30,626 --> 02:12:32,626
her interpretation.

5399
02:12:32,962 --> 02:12:33,930
But I think we've got a time

5400
02:12:33,930 --> 02:12:34,364
for a motion on that.

5401
02:12:34,364 --> 02:12:36,199
>> and a.

5402
02:12:36,199 --> 02:12:36,399
>> time for an action item

5403
02:12:36,399 --> 02:12:36,766
there.

5404
02:12:36,766 --> 02:12:37,967
With mayor.

5405
02:12:37,967 --> 02:12:38,201
>> we're not talking about a

5406
02:12:38,201 --> 02:12:40,360
motion.

5407
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:41,771
What the chief just asked for

5408
02:12:41,771 --> 02:12:43,673
is a nod from this council for

5409
02:12:43,673 --> 02:12:44,942
her to continue down this path

5410
02:12:44,942 --> 02:12:47,143
that she started on.

5411
02:12:47,143 --> 02:12:48,278
What I am sharing is the

5412
02:12:48,278 --> 02:12:49,790
concern that I have is the path

5413
02:12:49,790 --> 02:12:51,790
that she has.

5414
02:12:52,682 --> 02:12:54,417
Chosen is a dual path of both

5415
02:12:54,417 --> 02:12:56,786
adding to 9 P.M..

5416
02:12:56,786 --> 02:12:56,953
And looking at a pallet that

5417
02:12:56,953 --> 02:12:58,953
is.

5418
02:12:59,355 --> 02:13:00,423
We've heard multiple variations

5419
02:13:00,423 --> 02:13:02,423
of that conversation.

5420
02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:04,661
So in order to be clear since

5421
02:13:04,661 --> 02:13:06,930
it is the manager's

5422
02:13:06,930 --> 02:13:07,831
responsibility to implement.

5423
02:13:07,831 --> 02:13:09,831
Council's.

5424
02:13:11,434 --> 02:13:13,300
>> objective through staff.

5425
02:13:13,300 --> 02:13:13,403
I am not saying.

5426
02:13:13,403 --> 02:13:14,771
>> that.

5427
02:13:14,771 --> 02:13:14,971
I am signing off of this staff

5428
02:13:14,971 --> 02:13:16,971
.

5429
02:13:17,941 --> 02:13:18,408
Member to institute a 9.

5430
02:13:18,408 --> 02:13:19,977
>> P.M..

5431
02:13:19,977 --> 02:13:22,313
She can't she she's.

5432
02:13:22,313 --> 02:13:23,614
One that is what I I just ask

5433
02:13:23,614 --> 02:13:23,947
for the clarification of if

5434
02:13:23,947 --> 02:13:25,947
your.

5435
02:13:26,116 --> 02:13:26,950
Interpretation is to move

5436
02:13:26,950 --> 02:13:28,950
forward with both.

5437
02:13:28,952 --> 02:13:29,119
9:00 and a pallet.

5438
02:13:29,119 --> 02:13:29,620
.

5439
02:13:29,620 --> 02:13:31,188
>> there is no.

5440
02:13:31,188 --> 02:13:32,789
Action from this council

5441
02:13:32,789 --> 02:13:32,956
tonight based on what's before

5442
02:13:32,956 --> 02:13:33,924
us.

5443
02:13:33,924 --> 02:13:35,325
Now there.

5444
02:13:35,325 --> 02:13:36,561
Presumably will be.

5445
02:13:36,561 --> 02:13:37,395
Something further that's

5446
02:13:37,395 --> 02:13:38,796
presented to us.

5447
02:13:38,796 --> 02:13:39,964
Perhaps at that point.

5448
02:13:39,964 --> 02:13:40,931
>> there will be a motion and

5449
02:13:40,931 --> 02:13:41,699
then there'll be a discussion.

5450
02:13:41,699 --> 02:13:42,499
Of that if there's.

5451
02:13:42,499 --> 02:13:43,734
a second.

5452
02:13:43,734 --> 02:13:44,935
So I think for tonight what

5453
02:13:44,935 --> 02:13:47,838
we've had is an information.

5454
02:13:47,838 --> 02:13:48,380
Session and I presume the

5455
02:13:48,380 --> 02:13:48,639
chief.

5456
02:13:48,639 --> 02:13:49,440
>> will come.

5457
02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:50,374
Back to us.

5458
02:13:50,374 --> 02:13:51,441
Uh, and.

5459
02:13:51,441 --> 02:13:52,542
Propose some type.

5460
02:13:52,542 --> 02:13:53,678
>> of motion that will take up

5461
02:13:53,678 --> 02:13:55,746
at that point and we'll have a

5462
02:13:55,746 --> 02:13:56,848
full discussion of the merits

5463
02:13:56,848 --> 02:13:57,815
of that item.

5464
02:13:57,815 --> 02:13:59,815
Yes, sir.

5465
02:14:00,284 --> 02:14:01,886
Okay with that thank you chief,

5466
02:14:01,886 --> 02:14:03,621
I appreciate we.

5467
02:14:03,621 --> 02:14:05,222
Appreciate your presentation

5468
02:14:05,222 --> 02:14:05,856
and that takes us to uh

5469
02:14:05,856 --> 02:14:06,824
anything else.

5470
02:14:06,824 --> 02:14:07,424
>> from the manager.

5471
02:14:07,424 --> 02:14:09,159
All right.

5472
02:14:09,159 --> 02:14:10,127
Our next policy item is

5473
02:14:10,127 --> 02:14:11,950

5476
02:14:14,866 --> 02:14:15,500
Is there a motion for.

02:14:15,500 --> 02:14:16,434
Approval a and.

B second.

5479
02:14:18,136 --> 02:14:18,936
Is there any discussion.

5480
02:14:18,936 --> 02:14:19,871
?

5481
02:14:19,871 --> 02:14:21,572
All right.

5482

>> there's one opposed.

5492
02:14:38,222 --> 02:14:41,192

sidewalk ordinance.

5496
02:14:45,496 --> 02:14:47,666
Amendment for item eight.

5497
02:14:47,666 --> 02:14:48,634
Do I have a motion to adopt an

5498
02:14:48,634 --> 02:14:50,634

5499
02:14:51,169 --> 02:14:53,569

intergovernmental relations

5504
02:14:59,911 --> 02:15:01,313
committee.

5505
02:15:01,313 --> 02:15:02,800
Is there a.

5506
02:15:02,800 --> 02:15:02,380
>> motion so moved?

5507
02:15:02,380 --> 02:15:04,380
Second.

5508
02:15:05,384 --> 02:15:06,185
>> any discussion council

5509
02:15:06,185 --> 02:15:06,518
member mayfield and then

5510
02:15:06,518 --> 02:15:06,985
council.

5511
02:15:06,985 --> 02:15:08,530
Member johnson.

5512
02:15:08,530 --> 02:15:08,520
Thank you MR. Mayor.

5513
02:15:08,520 --> 02:15:08,887
>> I have.

5514
02:15:08,887 --> 02:15:09,321
>> a.

5515
02:15:09,321 --> 02:15:10,220
Question for staff.

5516
02:15:10,220 --> 02:15:11,456
I want to get.

5517
02:15:11,456 --> 02:15:12,858
Clarification on.

5518
02:15:12,858 --> 02:15:13,325
This sidewalk as.

5519
02:15:13,325 --> 02:15:15,325
Far is.

5520
02:15:16,928 --> 02:15:19,130
Where does the policy language

5521
02:15:19,130 --> 02:15:21,334
land when it comes to these

5522
02:15:21,334 --> 02:15:23,202
scooters and these other forms

5523
02:15:23,202 --> 02:15:25,437
of transportation that are

5524
02:15:25,437 --> 02:15:27,306
currently blocking sidewalks?

5525
02:15:27,306 --> 02:15:28,741
And if there is a bike lane

5526
02:15:28,741 --> 02:15:30,643
you're starting to see them

5527
02:15:30,643 --> 02:15:30,843
show up in the bike lanes as

5528
02:15:30,843 --> 02:15:32,843
well.

5529
02:15:34,112 --> 02:15:37,582
So exactly how does this know

5530
02:15:37,582 --> 02:15:38,851
parking on sidewalks help in

5531
02:15:38,851 --> 02:15:40,419
area and in community.

5532
02:15:40,419 --> 02:15:42,819
Where sidewalks are now?

5533

So scooters and.

E-bikes and uh, regular

5542
02:15:56,502 --> 02:15:57,737
bicycles are.

5543
02:15:57,737 --> 02:15:58,104
Allowed to park on the

5544
02:15:58,104 --> 02:15:59,806
sidewalks.

5545
02:15:59,806 --> 02:16:00,440
There are.

5546
02:16:00,440 --> 02:16:01,374
Uh.

5547
02:16:01,374 --> 02:16:02,800
>> permit requirements.

5548
02:16:02,800 --> 02:16:03,409
For our.

5549
02:16:03,409 --> 02:16:04,977
>> e-bike and.

5550
02:16:04,977 --> 02:16:06,977
E-scooter providers.

5551
02:16:07,613 --> 02:16:09,382
that require them to educate

5552
02:16:09,382 --> 02:16:11,550
riders of where to park.

5553
02:16:11,550 --> 02:16:11,917
Um, they're supposed to leave

5554
02:16:11,917 --> 02:16:12,384
four.

5555
02:16:12,384 --> 02:16:14,384
>> feet.

5556
02:16:14,487 --> 02:16:15,955
Space for pedestrians.

5557
02:16:15,955 --> 02:16:17,955
Um.

5558
02:16:18,324 --> 02:16:18,858
>> we they're supposed to they

5559
02:16:18,858 --> 02:16:20,693
get a complaint.

5560
02:16:20,693 --> 02:16:22,595
They're supposed to, uh, remove

5561
02:16:22,595 --> 02:16:23,396
that scooter or move it within

5562
02:16:23,396 --> 02:16:23,896
an hour.

5563
02:16:23,896 --> 02:16:25,896
Uh.

5564
02:16:26,532 --> 02:16:26,899
>> we also have provisions that

5565
02:16:26,899 --> 02:16:28,899
allows the.

5566
02:16:30,103 --> 02:16:31,238
Director of transportation to

5567
02:16:31,238 --> 02:16:33,140
revoke a permit if we get lots

5568
02:16:33,140 --> 02:16:35,842
of complaints or reduce the

5569
02:16:35,842 --> 02:16:36,943
number of bikes and e-bikes, uh

5570
02:16:36,943 --> 02:16:37,877
,e-scooters that they can.

5571
02:16:37,877 --> 02:16:39,877
Have.

5572
02:16:42,115 --> 02:16:44,651
>> um, in the right of way the

5573
02:16:44,651 --> 02:16:47,186
there is that so the scooters

5574
02:16:47,186 --> 02:16:47,987
and bikes can park and can ride

5575
02:16:47,987 --> 02:16:49,987
on the sidewalks.

5576
02:16:52,590 --> 02:16:54,459
This just addresses the

5577
02:16:54,595 --> 02:16:56,329
driveways and and impeding the

5578
02:16:56,329 --> 02:16:58,729
sidewalk at driveways where

5579
02:16:58,865 --> 02:16:59,833
vehicles cannot block the the

5580
02:16:59,833 --> 02:17:01,568
drive the sidewalk.

5581
02:17:01,568 --> 02:17:04,568
So we're really looking at

5582
02:17:04,871 --> 02:17:07,541
mainly residential area and I

5583
02:17:07,541 --> 02:17:09,941
had mentioned previously that

5584
02:17:11,178 --> 02:17:13,247
we are building smaller units

5585
02:17:13,247 --> 02:17:15,616
and also shorter driveways but

5586
02:17:15,616 --> 02:17:17,684
we're also allowing development

5587
02:17:17,684 --> 02:17:18,180
happening on much more narrow

5588
02:17:18,180 --> 02:17:20,180
streets.

5589
02:17:21,288 --> 02:17:21,488
So there's no on street parking

5590
02:17:21,488 --> 02:17:23,488
.

5591
02:17:24,158 --> 02:17:26,193
The driveway itself is a short

5592
02:17:26,193 --> 02:17:29,630
driveway so part of the vehicle

5593
02:17:29,630 --> 02:17:32,630
MAY be blocking the sidewalk.

5594
02:17:33,600 --> 02:17:35,169
So I want I'm thinking of the

5595
02:17:35,169 --> 02:17:35,869
individual that's in the

5596
02:17:35,869 --> 02:17:37,869
motorized wheelchair.

5597
02:17:39,740 --> 02:17:42,577
Uh and when they're trying to

5598
02:17:42,577 --> 02:17:45,112
get exercise go out to the um

5599
02:17:45,112 --> 02:17:47,181
community how that's actually

5600
02:17:47,181 --> 02:17:48,616
going to be enforced with the

5601
02:17:48,616 --> 02:17:50,217
number of neighborhoods that we

5602
02:17:50,217 --> 02:17:50,818
have and the number of

5603
02:17:50,818 --> 02:17:51,419
neighborhoods that we keep.

5604
02:17:51,419 --> 02:17:53,419
And pullback.

5605
02:17:55,156 --> 02:17:57,858
How effective this is going to

5606
02:17:57,858 --> 02:18:00,695
be when our policy language has

5607
02:18:00,695 --> 02:18:03,640
created shorter driveways and

5608
02:18:03,640 --> 02:18:03,431
vehicles are blocking the

5609
02:18:03,431 --> 02:18:05,431
driveway.

5610
02:18:07,935 --> 02:18:08,436
I just want to understand how.

5611
02:18:08,436 --> 02:18:09,270
Enforcement would.

5612
02:18:09,270 --> 02:18:11,270
>> look on that.

5613
02:18:12,707 --> 02:18:14,942
We did look into uh driveway

5614
02:18:14,942 --> 02:18:16,878
length so we have a minimum in

5615
02:18:16,878 --> 02:18:19,278
the youdo for driveways.

5616
02:18:19,648 --> 02:18:22,817
They have to be a minimum of

5617
02:18:22,817 --> 02:18:23,170
ten feet ten feet wide and 20ft

5618
02:18:23,170 --> 02:18:25,170
long.

5619
02:18:25,653 --> 02:18:27,255
Um and that was done

5620
02:18:27,255 --> 02:18:27,889
specifically to avoid the issue

5621
02:18:27,889 --> 02:18:29,889
of of.

5622
02:18:32,894 --> 02:18:34,129
Vehicles impeding sidewalks.

5623
02:18:34,129 --> 02:18:37,129
Cars of course have gotten

5624
02:18:37,132 --> 02:18:39,340
larger and so but it still will

5625
02:18:39,340 --> 02:18:41,870
cover a full sized vehicle.

5626
02:18:41,870 --> 02:18:42,337
Um smaller vehicles you MAY.

5627
02:18:42,337 --> 02:18:44,337
>> be.

5628
02:18:46,708 --> 02:18:47,676
Able to fit to most to two car

5629
02:18:47,676 --> 02:18:48,900
garages are going to be at

5630
02:18:48,900 --> 02:18:49,277
least.

5631
02:18:49,277 --> 02:18:49,911
20ft wide and the driveway is

5632
02:18:49,911 --> 02:18:50,545
going to also.

5633
02:18:50,545 --> 02:18:52,545
Be that.

5634
02:18:53,215 --> 02:18:53,882
Wide so that that uh provides

5635
02:18:53,882 --> 02:18:55,882
some more.

5636
02:18:56,218 --> 02:18:58,287
But the bottom line is that

5637
02:18:58,287 --> 02:18:59,870
it's an ada violation to block

5638
02:18:59,870 --> 02:19:00,956
the sidewalk.

5639
02:19:00,956 --> 02:19:02,824
The the issue.

5640
02:19:02,824 --> 02:19:03,792
With the scooters and things

5641
02:19:03,792 --> 02:19:06,161
like that it would be a

5642
02:19:06,161 --> 02:19:06,361
separate type ordinance that if

5643
02:19:06,361 --> 02:19:07,395
we.

5644
02:19:07,395 --> 02:19:07,596
>> you know, we can certainly

5645
02:19:07,596 --> 02:19:09,298
look.

5646
02:19:09,298 --> 02:19:10,900
At making it an ordinance

5647
02:19:10,900 --> 02:19:13,900
instead of in our permits.

5648
02:19:14,170 --> 02:19:16,705
But right now our ordinance um

5649
02:19:16,705 --> 02:19:18,440
provides an exception for bikes

5650
02:19:18,440 --> 02:19:20,476
and e-scooters and e-bikes.

5651
02:19:20,476 --> 02:19:20,943
thank you, council.

5652
02:19:20,943 --> 02:19:22,440
Member johnson.

5653
02:19:22,440 --> 02:19:24,440
Thank you.

5654
02:19:24,212 --> 02:19:25,347
>> if it's an thank you for

5655
02:19:25,347 --> 02:19:27,717
that information, if it's an

5656
02:19:27,717 --> 02:19:30,117
ada violation that's the

5657
02:19:30,419 --> 02:19:31,520
exception in the ordinance.

5658
02:19:31,520 --> 02:19:32,922
Excuse the violation.

5659
02:19:32,922 --> 02:19:34,922
.

5660
02:19:36,191 --> 02:19:39,495
>> no no again our our permit

5661
02:19:39,495 --> 02:19:41,730
requirements are that um they

5662
02:19:41,730 --> 02:19:42,640
should be educating their

5663
02:19:42,640 --> 02:19:44,640
riders.

5664
02:19:44,734 --> 02:19:47,870
Uh, we can we can look at what

5665
02:19:47,870 --> 02:19:49,639
they're providing on their, uh

5666
02:19:49,639 --> 02:19:49,972
,app to make sure that they're

5667
02:19:49,972 --> 02:19:50,907
doing that.

5668
02:19:50,907 --> 02:19:52,907
Uh.

5669
02:19:53,743 --> 02:19:55,478
>> they also are to provide 24

5670
02:19:55,478 --> 02:19:57,478
seven support.

5671
02:19:59,215 --> 02:20:00,984
So anybody rider non rider the

5672
02:20:00,984 --> 02:20:02,252
city can contact them when

5673
02:20:02,252 --> 02:20:04,153
they're when they see something

5674
02:20:04,153 --> 02:20:06,690
that's not right um either

5675
02:20:06,690 --> 02:20:08,291
parking or somebody speeding

5676
02:20:08,291 --> 02:20:09,425
driving recklessly that that

5677
02:20:09,425 --> 02:20:09,626
sort of thing they can report

5678
02:20:09,626 --> 02:20:10,993
that.

5679
02:20:10,993 --> 02:20:11,494
Who is to the right to report.

5680

5682
02:20:14,931 --> 02:20:17,300
>> well they can call 311 um

5683
02:20:17,300 --> 02:20:19,336
but they can also call the

5684
02:20:19,336 --> 02:20:22,390
there's provisions on the app

5685
02:20:22,390 --> 02:20:23,473
on the I forget who it is that

5686
02:20:23,473 --> 02:20:26,473
here who we have um.

5687
02:20:27,244 --> 02:20:28,378
It's uh line like for instance

5688
02:20:28,378 --> 02:20:30,280
lime they should have something

5689
02:20:30,280 --> 02:20:33,280
on their website that provides

5690
02:20:34,183 --> 02:20:36,253
a number for a rider or non

5691
02:20:36,253 --> 02:20:38,622
rider to report and then in the

5692
02:20:38,622 --> 02:20:39,123
app they also have those those

5693
02:20:39,123 --> 02:20:41,123
provisions to.

5694
02:20:41,959 --> 02:20:42,125
Where you can report a problem

5695
02:20:42,125 --> 02:20:42,559
.

5696
02:20:42,559 --> 02:20:43,193
Are you.

5697
02:20:43,193 --> 02:20:45,193
>> talking about.

5698
02:20:45,262 --> 02:20:45,595
>> scooters scooters and

5699
02:20:45,595 --> 02:20:46,396
e-bikes.

5700
02:20:46,396 --> 02:20:47,464
>> or e-bikes.

5701
02:20:47,464 --> 02:20:49,464
no okay so.

5702
02:20:50,300 --> 02:20:52,350
No my concern you talked about

5703
02:20:52,350 --> 02:20:53,938
residential driveways needing

5704
02:20:53,938 --> 02:20:55,938
to be 20ft.

5705
02:20:56,140 --> 02:20:59,140
Um the same information from

5706
02:20:59,443 --> 02:21:00,878
sarah hazel uh, the full size

5707
02:21:00,878 --> 02:21:03,213
car is 16 to 18ft.

5708
02:21:03,213 --> 02:21:04,681
So only one if the driveway is

5709
02:21:04,681 --> 02:21:05,616
closed or if they don't um

5710
02:21:05,616 --> 02:21:06,160
excuse me garage where they.

5711
02:21:06,160 --> 02:21:06,584
>> don't.

5712
02:21:06,584 --> 02:21:08,584
Have a garage.

5713
02:21:08,919 --> 02:21:09,419
Only one full sized car can fit

5714
02:21:09,419 --> 02:21:10,520
in that driveway.

5715
02:21:10,520 --> 02:21:12,520
That's correct.

5716
02:21:13,224 --> 02:21:14,910
So we just can't.

5717
02:21:14,910 --> 02:21:15,993
>> have it both ways.

5718
02:21:15,993 --> 02:21:17,261
We just don't get to have it

5719
02:21:17,261 --> 02:21:18,620
both ways where we're building

5720
02:21:18,620 --> 02:21:19,463
so much density.

5721
02:21:19,463 --> 02:21:21,463
Shorter driveways.

5722
02:21:21,498 --> 02:21:24,498
No parking on the street.

5723
02:21:25,269 --> 02:21:25,602
Uh, density and then not

5724
02:21:25,602 --> 02:21:27,400
allowing.

5725
02:21:27,400 --> 02:21:28,205
Residents to be able.

5726
02:21:28,205 --> 02:21:31,205
>> to park in their driveway.

5727
02:21:32,410 --> 02:21:33,440
Without a code violation.

5728
02:21:33,440 --> 02:21:33,478
So I won't.

5729
02:21:33,478 --> 02:21:33,978
>> be.

5730
02:21:33,978 --> 02:21:34,645
Supporting this for.

5731
02:21:34,645 --> 02:21:36,313
>> that reason.

5732
02:21:36,313 --> 02:21:36,948
You know, this is a very

5733
02:21:36,948 --> 02:21:38,948
expensive city.

5734
02:21:39,150 --> 02:21:41,819
Um, more than sometimes more

5735
02:21:41,819 --> 02:21:42,486
than one person or one family

5736
02:21:42,486 --> 02:21:43,888
live in a home.

5737
02:21:43,888 --> 02:21:45,623
And they have cars.

5738
02:21:45,623 --> 02:21:46,558
So I think.

5739
02:21:46,558 --> 02:21:47,659
That I think we.

5740
02:21:47,659 --> 02:21:47,992
Should be more focused on

5741
02:21:47,992 --> 02:21:49,940
scooters.

5742
02:21:49,940 --> 02:21:50,662
On the sidewalk.

5743
02:21:50,662 --> 02:21:51,929
Um, my husband almost got hit

5744
02:21:51,929 --> 02:21:52,664
by someone riding.

5745
02:21:52,664 --> 02:21:54,365
>> a scooter.

5746
02:21:54,365 --> 02:21:56,868
On the sidewalk so I think

5747
02:21:56,868 --> 02:21:57,680
that's a priority and I get the

5748
02:21:57,680 --> 02:21:57,468
.

5749
02:21:57,468 --> 02:21:57,969
>> whole.

5750
02:21:57,969 --> 02:21:59,170
Ada violation.

5751
02:21:59,170 --> 02:22:00,605
i don't know what the solution

5752
02:22:00,605 --> 02:22:01,405
is but I won't support.

5753
02:22:01,405 --> 02:22:03,405
Um.

5754
02:22:03,909 --> 02:22:04,409
>> fining individuals who.

5755
02:22:04,409 --> 02:22:04,843
>> are.

5756
02:22:04,843 --> 02:22:06,843
Parking in their.

5757
02:22:06,878 --> 02:22:07,446
Driveways when we know our.

5758
02:22:07,446 --> 02:22:09,446
>> ordinance.

5759
02:22:10,849 --> 02:22:11,490
Uh only allows for a minimum or

5760
02:22:11,490 --> 02:22:11,750
is.

5761
02:22:11,750 --> 02:22:12,150
>> it maximum.

5762
02:22:12,150 --> 02:22:14,180
Is this.

5763
02:22:14,180 --> 02:22:14,652
>> max is a minimum minimum.

5764
02:22:14,652 --> 02:22:15,887
And some.

5765
02:22:15,887 --> 02:22:16,870
>> developers are only building

5766
02:22:16,870 --> 02:22:17,210
.

5767
02:22:17,210 --> 02:22:17,488
Minimum standards.

5768
02:22:17,488 --> 02:22:18,890
Uh.

5769
02:22:18,890 --> 02:22:19,524
One car.

5770
02:22:19,524 --> 02:22:21,524
>> in the driveway.

5771
02:22:22,161 --> 02:22:22,628
So that's my comment.

5772
02:22:22,628 --> 02:22:23,562
Thank you.

5773
02:22:23,562 --> 02:22:25,297
Will there.

5774
02:22:25,297 --> 02:22:26,565
>> any other comments or

5775
02:22:26,565 --> 02:22:27,232
questions and I would ask you

5776
02:22:27,232 --> 02:22:29,401
to clarify one thing.

5777
02:22:29,401 --> 02:22:30,368
You referenced the ada in there

5778
02:22:30,368 --> 02:22:31,469
and just how does the.

5779
02:22:31,469 --> 02:22:33,469
Americans with disabilities.

5780
02:22:34,500 --> 02:22:34,939
Act fit into this discussion?

5781
02:22:34,939 --> 02:22:35,273
>> because I don't know if that

5782
02:22:35,273 --> 02:22:35,540
was clear.

5783
02:22:35,540 --> 02:22:37,242
Right.

5784
02:22:37,242 --> 02:22:38,511
>> so sidewalks are one of our

5785
02:22:38,511 --> 02:22:39,645
programs, services and

5786
02:22:39,645 --> 02:22:40,412
activities that we provide.

5787
02:22:40,412 --> 02:22:41,460
Um.

5788
02:22:41,460 --> 02:22:41,980
>> if we.

5789
02:22:41,980 --> 02:22:43,980
Provide a sidewalk.

5790
02:22:44,483 --> 02:22:45,617
We should be making sure that

5791
02:22:45,617 --> 02:22:48,170
those sidewalks are not.

5792
02:22:49,354 --> 02:22:50,922
Uh obstructed.

5793
02:22:50,922 --> 02:22:51,890
And the current ordinance gave

5794
02:22:51,890 --> 02:22:53,890
a.

5795
02:22:54,226 --> 02:22:54,493
Uh exception for parking and

5796
02:22:54,493 --> 02:22:56,493
driveways.

5797
02:22:58,797 --> 02:23:00,432
So we had to to we had a

5798
02:23:00,432 --> 02:23:02,832
disconnect between the two

5799
02:23:04,336 --> 02:23:06,736
between 14 dash 130 and 14 dash

5800
02:23:08,407 --> 02:23:09,541
2016 um 14 dash 2016 deals with

5801
02:23:09,541 --> 02:23:11,541
illegal parking.

5802
02:23:12,811 --> 02:23:14,247
14 dash 130 is more about

5803
02:23:14,247 --> 02:23:14,614
operation um but it also says

5804
02:23:14,614 --> 02:23:16,614
parking.

5805
02:23:19,752 --> 02:23:22,755
Um so vehicles could not drive

5806
02:23:22,755 --> 02:23:24,824
on the sidewalks or park on the

5807
02:23:24,824 --> 02:23:25,791
sidewalks under 14 dash 130

5808
02:23:25,791 --> 02:23:27,590
unless they were in a.

5809
02:23:27,590 --> 02:23:28,494
Driveway which made it

5810
02:23:28,494 --> 02:23:30,290
difficult for cmpd to.

5811
02:23:30,290 --> 02:23:32,290
Enforce.

5812
02:23:32,532 --> 02:23:34,000
>> council member mia yes.

5813
02:23:34,000 --> 02:23:34,133
Uh thank you, mayor harrington

5814
02:23:34,133 --> 02:23:35,401
.

5815
02:23:35,401 --> 02:23:35,768
Thank you for that

5816
02:23:35,768 --> 02:23:37,768
clarification.

5817
02:23:39,505 --> 02:23:42,175
In terms of why this amendment

5818
02:23:42,175 --> 02:23:42,508
I mean this ordinance needs to

5819
02:23:42,508 --> 02:23:44,508
be amended.

5820
02:23:47,460 --> 02:23:49,883
Um, because I have received

5821
02:23:49,883 --> 02:23:50,830
some complaints from residents

5822
02:23:50,830 --> 02:23:50,550
there.

5823
02:23:50,550 --> 02:23:52,550
Um.

5824
02:23:52,585 --> 02:23:54,585
>> either they.

5825
02:23:55,855 --> 02:23:57,457
>> are pushing a wheelchair or

5826
02:23:57,457 --> 02:23:58,910
are on a wheelchair or.

5827
02:23:58,910 --> 02:23:58,858
Trying to.

5828
02:23:58,858 --> 02:24:00,858
>> push a.

5829
02:24:01,527 --> 02:24:02,628
Stroller but they don't have an

5830
02:24:02,628 --> 02:24:04,300
access to safe sidewalks even.

5831
02:24:04,300 --> 02:24:04,830
Though sidewalks are built.

5832
02:24:04,830 --> 02:24:06,830
But they are.

5833
02:24:07,334 --> 02:24:07,501
Obstructed by a vehicle so this

5834
02:24:07,501 --> 02:24:09,690
.

5835
02:24:09,690 --> 02:24:11,469
Helps us address those.

5836
02:24:11,738 --> 02:24:14,138
Concerns, especially those with

5837
02:24:14,741 --> 02:24:16,476
special needs and families like

5838
02:24:16,476 --> 02:24:19,476
mine who are trying to.

5839
02:24:21,314 --> 02:24:22,882
Not trying to make sure that we

5840
02:24:22,882 --> 02:24:24,451
are using the infrastructure

5841
02:24:24,451 --> 02:24:27,321
that is there without having to

5842
02:24:27,321 --> 02:24:29,560
get outside where there might

5843
02:24:29,560 --> 02:24:31,910
be traffic moving traffic.

5844
02:24:31,910 --> 02:24:32,960
So I'll be supporting this.

5845
02:24:32,960 --> 02:24:34,394
Here there.

02:24:34,394 --> 02:24:35,328

from council members who have

5848
02:24:35,996 --> 02:24:37,564
not been hurt?

5849
02:24:37,564 --> 02:24:38,965
All right.

5850

Certainly their residents.

We want them to participate.

5993
02:27:48,725 --> 02:27:49,859

Meetings at any time.

5998
02:27:55,699 --> 02:27:56,800
So MR. Manager, I would love to

5999
02:27:56,800 --> 02:27:57,634
kind of just talk about what we

6000
02:27:57,634 --> 02:27:59,336
can do to.

6001
02:27:59,336 --> 02:28:00,171
um to make sure that we're

6002
02:28:00,171 --> 02:28:01,705
encouraging and enabling.

6003
02:28:01,705 --> 02:28:03,106
That uh, certainly.

6004
02:28:03,106 --> 02:28:04,875
Understanding that we want to

6005
02:28:04,875 --> 02:28:05,208
create equal access with

6006
02:28:05,208 --> 02:28:06,142
everyone.

6007
02:28:06,142 --> 02:28:08,440
In the community.

6008
02:28:08,440 --> 02:28:08,678
But I love.

6009
02:28:08,678 --> 02:28:09,446
>> to see.

6010
02:28:09,446 --> 02:28:09,979
Staff wanting.

6011
02:28:09,979 --> 02:28:10,213
>> to.

6012
02:28:10,213 --> 02:28:10,781
Be um.

6013
02:28:10,781 --> 02:28:11,782
>> a part of.

6014
02:28:11,782 --> 02:28:12,683
>> these boards, but I think

6015
02:28:12,683 --> 02:28:12,883
there's a way that we MAY be

6016
02:28:12,883 --> 02:28:13,350
able.

6017
02:28:13,350 --> 02:28:14,585
>> can beef it.

6018
02:28:14,585 --> 02:28:15,252
Up and enhance how that works.

6019
02:28:15,252 --> 02:28:16,220
So thank you.

6020
02:28:16,220 --> 02:28:16,587
>> sorry for inadvertently

6021
02:28:16,587 --> 02:28:17,654
putting you on.

6022
02:28:17,654 --> 02:28:17,921
.

6023
02:28:17,921 --> 02:28:19,122
Any other.

6024
02:28:19,122 --> 02:28:20,991
>> council member johnson.

6025
02:28:20,991 --> 02:28:22,559
I agree and I sent an.

6026
02:28:22,559 --> 02:28:25,610
Email in writing is that.

6027
02:28:25,610 --> 02:28:27,610
Appropriate or.

6028
02:28:27,970 --> 02:28:29,600
I think we should have a.

6029
02:28:29,600 --> 02:28:30,534
Policy on city staff on.

6030
02:28:30,534 --> 02:28:31,402
Uh boards.

6031
02:28:31,402 --> 02:28:33,402
>> and commissions.

6032
02:28:34,438 --> 02:28:35,706
Also I think that there's um

6033
02:28:35,706 --> 02:28:37,107
opportunity for influence.

6034
02:28:37,107 --> 02:28:39,107
And impact.

6035
02:28:39,476 --> 02:28:41,311
So I that's just my uh and it's

6036
02:28:41,311 --> 02:28:42,279
nothing against alexis I think

6037
02:28:42,279 --> 02:28:43,460
she does a phenomenal job.

6038
02:28:43,460 --> 02:28:44,915
.

6039
02:28:44,915 --> 02:28:46,350
But the fact that she is an

6040
02:28:46,350 --> 02:28:47,952
executive level employee I

6041
02:28:47,952 --> 02:28:49,220
think there could be some

6042
02:28:49,220 --> 02:28:50,655
concern from the public.

6043
02:28:50,655 --> 02:28:51,289
So I'd like to see a policy on

6044
02:28:51,289 --> 02:28:51,756
that as well.

6045
02:28:51,756 --> 02:28:53,240
Thank you.

6046
02:28:53,240 --> 02:28:54,258
Any further comments?

6047
02:28:54,258 --> 02:28:54,725
All right.

6048
02:28:54,725 --> 02:28:56,127
All in.

6049
02:28:56,127 --> 02:28:57,610

6053
02:29:00,197 --> 02:29:01,765
Yeah.

6054
02:29:01,765 --> 02:29:02,934
>> opposed or.

6055
02:29:02,934 --> 02:29:04,934
Councilmember johnson opposed.

6056
02:29:05,203 --> 02:29:07,238
Are you oppose opposed okay.

6057
02:29:07,238 --> 02:29:09,407
All right that takes us.

6058
02:29:09,407 --> 02:29:11,800
Through the appointments and

6059
02:29:11,800 --> 02:29:13,878
that takes us to mayor and

6060
02:29:13,878 --> 02:29:15,146
council topics um, in order to

6061
02:29:15,146 --> 02:29:16,380
ensure that all council.

6062
02:29:16,380 --> 02:29:18,449
Has the opportunity to speak,

6063
02:29:18,449 --> 02:29:18,649
we will go around the dais

6064
02:29:18,649 --> 02:29:20,649
once.

6065
02:29:23,488 --> 02:29:25,890
We'll go around the dias once

6066
02:29:25,890 --> 02:29:26,191
uh, one by one I ask that each

6067
02:29:26,191 --> 02:29:28,593
council member try to keep

6068
02:29:28,593 --> 02:29:29,560
their comments to our end for

6069
02:29:29,560 --> 02:29:30,280
questions to three.

6070
02:29:30,280 --> 02:29:31,262
>> minutes.

6071
02:29:31,262 --> 02:29:31,629
But also note that we have a

6072
02:29:31,629 --> 02:29:33,629
closed session.

6073
02:29:33,965 --> 02:29:34,832
Scheduled for tonight so it MAY

6074
02:29:34,832 --> 02:29:36,868
be all the more important that.

6075
02:29:36,868 --> 02:29:37,235
We try to keep our comments to

6076
02:29:37,235 --> 02:29:39,235
three minutes.

6077
02:29:39,571 --> 02:29:41,306
Staff will respond to questions

6078
02:29:41,306 --> 02:29:43,375
or topics with a written report

6079
02:29:43,375 --> 02:29:44,176
to council prior to the next

6080
02:29:44,176 --> 02:29:46,770
business meeting.

6081
02:29:46,770 --> 02:29:47,646
If that report is sufficient to

6082
02:29:47,646 --> 02:29:48,913
address the question or issue.

6083
02:29:48,913 --> 02:29:50,348
That would ensure that our

6084
02:29:50,348 --> 02:29:52,417
meeting time and agenda items

6085
02:29:52,417 --> 02:29:53,518
are focused on upcoming

6086
02:29:53,518 --> 02:29:54,185
decisions rather than just

6087
02:29:54,185 --> 02:29:55,921
report outs.

6088
02:29:55,921 --> 02:29:57,489
This will help ensure effective

6089
02:29:57,489 --> 02:29:58,791
meetings and discussions should

6090
02:29:58,791 --> 02:30:00,859
a council member feel that an

6091
02:30:00,859 --> 02:30:01,960
action is needed or further

6092
02:30:01,960 --> 02:30:03,561
discussion is required with the

6093
02:30:03,561 --> 02:30:04,529
entire council, the council

6094
02:30:04,529 --> 02:30:04,763
member would then make a

6095
02:30:04,763 --> 02:30:05,130
request.

6096
02:30:05,130 --> 02:30:05,731
>> to.

6097
02:30:05,731 --> 02:30:06,197
Add the item.

6098
02:30:06,197 --> 02:30:07,132
To a.

6099
02:30:07,132 --> 02:30:09,000
Future strategy.

6100
02:30:09,000 --> 02:30:10,135
Session agenda I will ask if

6101
02:30:10,135 --> 02:30:10,936
there is any objection.

of routes coming from uptown

and I heard from a.

6220
02:32:44,825 --> 02:32:45,250
Lot of my constituents who

6221
02:32:45,250 --> 02:32:45,793
were.

6222
02:32:45,793 --> 02:32:46,727

I'll pivot then to.

6227
02:32:52,166 --> 02:32:52,567
A somber recognition.

6228
02:32:52,567 --> 02:32:53,340

6229
02:32:53,340 --> 02:32:55,340

6230
02:32:56,300 --> 02:32:56,804

6232
02:32:57,105 --> 02:32:59,105

District six.

6238

Back in 2019 and I lift her up

6239
02:33:11,419 --> 02:33:12,554
in large part because I think

6240
02:33:12,554 --> 02:33:13,788
any of us who serve the.

6241
02:33:13,788 --> 02:33:15,757
Community deserve.

justice for.

6251
02:33:30,105 --> 02:33:32,105
women's rights, advocated.

6252
02:33:32,440 --> 02:33:33,241
Consistently for the underdog

6253
02:33:33,241 --> 02:33:35,241
during covid.

6254
02:33:35,610 --> 02:33:37,479
Was a real force of nature.

6255
02:33:37,479 --> 02:33:38,746
And a presence out in the

6256
02:33:38,746 --> 02:33:40,746
community letting people.

6257
02:33:40,949 --> 02:33:41,749
Understand our mask mandate and

6258
02:33:41,749 --> 02:33:44,149
helping hand out masks.

6259
02:33:44,753 --> 02:33:45,754
Um, she more than just.

6260
02:33:45,754 --> 02:33:48,900
>> running for the city.

6261
02:33:48,900 --> 02:33:49,224
She she showed up for people

6262
02:33:49,224 --> 02:33:50,626
um, and.

6263
02:33:50,626 --> 02:33:51,930
Uh, was part.

6264
02:33:51,930 --> 02:33:52,594
>> of.

6265
02:33:52,594 --> 02:33:54,196
A small group of folks who did

6266
02:33:54,196 --> 02:33:54,996
the first women's MARCH here.

6267
02:33:54,996 --> 02:33:56,996
>> in charlotte.

6268
02:33:56,998 --> 02:33:57,232
I reached out to several of her

6269

friends.

6270
02:33:58,566 --> 02:34:00,236
I had the opportunity to see

6271
02:34:00,236 --> 02:34:00,970
her speak on occasions.

6272
02:34:00,970 --> 02:34:02,970
>> and then also.

6273
02:34:03,139 --> 02:34:04,740
I had the great, um, foresight

6274
02:34:04,740 --> 02:34:05,674
to have voted for her myself.

6275
02:34:05,674 --> 02:34:07,242
But I.

6276
02:34:07,242 --> 02:34:07,442
Mentioned her because I think

6277
02:34:07,442 --> 02:34:08,210
that.

6278
02:34:08,210 --> 02:34:08,677
Those of us.

Us and um, particularly in my.

6285
02:34:15,217 --> 02:34:17,217
District where.

6286
02:34:17,252 --> 02:34:19,388
There was a change of.

6287
02:34:19,388 --> 02:34:19,722
Leadership um, she was one of

6288
02:34:19,722 --> 02:34:20,256
those first.

6289
02:34:20,256 --> 02:34:21,230
People who.

The conversation around

6496
02:39:55,529 --> 02:39:56,797
co-living spaces based on a

6497
02:39:56,797 --> 02:39:56,997
number of emails we've received

Challenge as more corporate.

6670
02:43:49,600 --> 02:43:51,669
restrictions on street vendors

6671
02:43:51,669 --> 02:43:52,200
and now restrictions on fruit

6672
02:43:52,200 --> 02:43:54,200
trucks.

6673
02:43:54,370 --> 02:43:57,174
Um, I think we need to tread

6674
02:43:57,174 --> 02:43:58,609
lightly whenever we expand

6675
02:43:58,609 --> 02:44:00,780
government control into our

6676
02:44:00,780 --> 02:44:01,646
communities uh, food trucks,

6677
02:44:01,646 --> 02:44:02,613
street vendors, young people

6678
02:44:02,613 --> 02:44:04,549
gathering and the lively

6679
02:44:04,549 --> 02:44:05,150
nightlife are not inherently

6680
02:44:05,150 --> 02:44:06,751
problems to solve.

6681
02:44:06,751 --> 02:44:08,353
I think they're a part of the

6682
02:44:08,353 --> 02:44:10,287
culture and energy that make a

6683
02:44:10,287 --> 02:44:11,922
big city feel alive, especially

6684
02:44:11,922 --> 02:44:12,123
as we continue to grow as a

6685
02:44:12,123 --> 02:44:13,658
city.

6686
02:44:13,658 --> 02:44:14,793
And of course we have a

6687
02:44:14,793 --> 02:44:14,993
responsibility to keep people

6688
02:44:14,993 --> 02:44:16,993
safe.

6689
02:44:17,328 --> 02:44:18,763
But we can make charlotte safer

6690
02:44:18,763 --> 02:44:18,963
without shutting charlotte

6691
02:44:18,963 --> 02:44:20,310
down.

6692
02:44:20,310 --> 02:44:21,499
So I don't believe more

6693
02:44:21,499 --> 02:44:22,467
restrictions should always be

6694
02:44:22,467 --> 02:44:23,401
our first answer.

6695
02:44:23,401 --> 02:44:25,401
And finally.

6696
02:44:27,605 --> 02:44:28,906
Um, to to uh complement with my

6697
02:44:28,906 --> 02:44:30,642
colleague and district six

6698
02:44:30,642 --> 02:44:32,244
council member owens mentioned

6699
02:44:32,244 --> 02:44:33,812
I do want to recognize the

6700
02:44:33,812 --> 02:44:35,280
passing of doctor gina

6701
02:44:35,280 --> 02:44:37,182
navarette, a latina leader who

6702
02:44:37,182 --> 02:44:38,750
ran for city council in

6703
02:44:38,750 --> 02:44:40,185
district six and was among

6704
02:44:40,185 --> 02:44:41,753
those who helped pave the way

6705
02:44:41,753 --> 02:44:42,420
for latino representation in

6706
02:44:42,420 --> 02:44:44,420
the city.

6707
02:44:44,756 --> 02:44:46,190
I MAY have had the privilege of

6708
02:44:46,190 --> 02:44:47,326
ultimately making history as

6709
02:44:47,326 --> 02:44:49,326
charlotte's first latino.

6710
02:44:49,828 --> 02:44:50,929
Council member, but history is

6711
02:44:50,929 --> 02:44:53,131
never made by one person.

6712
02:44:53,131 --> 02:44:54,733
There are people like doctor

6713
02:44:54,733 --> 02:44:56,100
navarette who open doors before

6714
02:44:56,100 --> 02:44:56,501
we ever get the opportunity to

6715
02:44:56,501 --> 02:44:58,501
walk through them.

6716
02:45:00,238 --> 02:45:02,474
So tonight I honor her and her

6717
02:45:02,474 --> 02:45:04,175
um, her son for being one.

6718
02:45:04,175 --> 02:45:05,444
Of those people in the family.

6719
02:45:05,444 --> 02:45:06,679
Uh, get this cancer passed.

6720
02:45:06,679 --> 02:45:07,479
MAY she rest in peace.

6721
02:45:07,479 --> 02:45:07,946
Thank you.

6722
02:45:07,946 --> 02:45:09,815
Council.

6723
02:45:09,815 --> 02:45:10,150

02:45:24,730 --> 02:45:25,831
being modest but I know there

6734

6735
02:45:26,298 --> 02:45:28,133
so thank you.

Or mayor.

6742
02:45:36,800 --> 02:45:37,309
With the market changes and the

6743
02:45:37,309 --> 02:45:39,440
interest rates going up and

6744
02:45:39,440 --> 02:45:41,444
development slowing down, does

6745
02:45:41,748 --> 02:45:42,715
the city have a plan for

6746
02:45:42,715 --> 02:45:42,982
projects that are halfway

6747
02:45:42,982 --> 02:45:44,982

02:45:45,685 --> 02:45:47,153
There or there are some in my

can gather.

6754
02:45:52,958 --> 02:45:54,660
There's some.

6755
02:45:54,660 --> 02:45:56,262
>> pools that are half filled

6756
02:45:56,262 --> 02:45:56,462

6757
02:45:56,462 --> 02:45:58,462

02:45:59,980 --> 02:45:59,932
Complaints so there's several

02:45:59,932 --> 02:46:00,933
half finished.

6760
02:46:00,933 --> 02:46:02,933
Developments.

02:46:03,360 --> 02:46:04,771
>> so I'd like to know if

6762
02:46:04,771 --> 02:46:06,390
there's a plan or if there.

6763
02:46:06,390 --> 02:46:08,374
Is a minimum time.

6764
02:46:08,374 --> 02:46:09,975
Where before the city gets

6765
02:46:09,975 --> 02:46:10,776

6766
02:46:10,776 --> 02:46:11,344

>> of this um.

6771
02:46:17,484 --> 02:46:19,484
Because we.

6772
02:46:19,686 --> 02:46:22,860
>> want to avoid blighted

6773
02:46:22,222 --> 02:46:23,490
buildings and our um also

6774
02:46:23,490 --> 02:46:24,123
referral tracker we talked.

6775
02:46:24,123 --> 02:46:26,123
Before about a.

6776
02:46:26,159 --> 02:46:26,926
Referral tracker I think I.

6777
02:46:26,926 --> 02:46:28,327
Received the link.

6778
02:46:28,327 --> 02:46:31,664
>> but is that open to the

6779
02:46:31,664 --> 02:46:32,933
public and if not can it be

6780
02:46:32,933 --> 02:46:35,168
open to the public and I'd like

6781
02:46:35,168 --> 02:46:35,969
to see dates add it to that

6782
02:46:35,969 --> 02:46:37,537
referral tracker.

6783
02:46:37,537 --> 02:46:38,400
There is a referral.

6784
02:46:38,400 --> 02:46:40,400
That I.

6785
02:46:40,173 --> 02:46:41,308
Think that was sent regarding

6786
02:46:41,308 --> 02:46:43,708
infill development that we

6787
02:46:44,144 --> 02:46:45,912
talked about in 2023 and it's a

6788
02:46:45,912 --> 02:46:47,180
gray area if that was actually

6789
02:46:47,180 --> 02:46:48,481
addressed I think planning

6790
02:46:48,481 --> 02:46:49,249
staff would say it was not.

6791
02:46:49,249 --> 02:46:51,452
So I'd like to.

02:46:51,452 --> 02:46:52,860

Positive and.

6848
02:48:03,992 --> 02:48:05,992

There is a rezoning.

For 15 acres that uh will be

About continued investment.

6875

As a.

6876
02:48:41,563 --> 02:48:43,432
Result of.

6877
02:48:43,432 --> 02:48:44,533
Light rail expansion.

6878
02:48:44,533 --> 02:48:45,330
Uh, we'll also be talking about

6879

6885

trying to help empower the

6887
02:48:53,642 --> 02:48:54,576
community to get ahead.

6888
02:48:54,576 --> 02:48:55,744
So how.

6889
02:48:55,744 --> 02:48:56,780
>> do they have a seat at the

6890
02:48:56,780 --> 02:48:56,578
table?

6891
02:48:56,578 --> 02:48:58,578
We'll be.

6892
02:48:59,480 --> 02:49:00,482
Hearing a case study um from.

6893
02:49:00,482 --> 02:49:01,884
A project that.

6894
02:49:01,884 --> 02:49:02,217
Transforming nations forward is

6895
02:49:02,217 --> 02:49:02,651

They are.

6898
02:49:06,221 --> 02:49:07,189
Hoping fingers crossed to have

6899
02:49:07,189 --> 02:49:08,123
an impact on the request.

6900
02:49:08,123 --> 02:49:09,525
>> for proposal.

6901
02:49:09,525 --> 02:49:09,692

02:49:16,332 --> 02:49:17,766
To handle.

Things as a community if you

6912
02:49:18,934 --> 02:49:19,235
want to sit at the table.

6913
02:49:19,235 --> 02:49:20,436
We always.

6933
02:49:39,555 --> 02:49:40,956
Bark and.

minute walk from.

6936
02:49:43,692 --> 02:49:43,993
There but a great opportunity

6937
02:49:43,993 --> 02:49:45,261
to really.

6938
02:49:45,261 --> 02:49:46,496
Start thinking.

6939
02:49:46,496 --> 02:49:47,297
Strategically about.

6940
02:49:47,297 --> 02:49:48,832
>> how do.

6941
02:49:48,832 --> 02:49:50,133
Transportation investments

6942
02:49:50,133 --> 02:49:52,133
impact future.

6943
02:49:52,468 --> 02:49:53,202
Residents and legacy residents

6944
02:49:53,202 --> 02:49:53,536
and how do we work.

6945
02:49:53,536 --> 02:49:55,404
Together.

6946
02:49:55,404 --> 02:49:57,139
>> uh, to make some of these

6947
02:49:57,139 --> 02:49:58,875
pain points not so painful.

6948
02:49:58,875 --> 02:49:59,208
So hopefully uh, people will

6949
02:49:59,208 --> 02:49:59,709
join.

6950
02:49:59,709 --> 02:50:00,609
>> us and.

6951
02:50:00,609 --> 02:50:01,110
>> I'm looking forward to chat

6952
02:50:01,110 --> 02:50:01,510
more about that.

6953
02:50:01,510 --> 02:50:03,380
Thank you.

6954
02:50:03,380 --> 02:50:03,713

You a.

6958
02:50:06,683 --> 02:50:07,951
Couple of things for me.

6959
02:50:07,951 --> 02:50:10,190
So firstly I just want to say

6960
02:50:10,190 --> 02:50:11,921
thank you to staff and to all

6961
02:50:11,921 --> 02:50:13,823
of the ac professionals that

6962
02:50:13,823 --> 02:50:14,624
participated in my town hall a

6963
02:50:14,624 --> 02:50:16,959
couple of weeks ago.

6964
02:50:16,959 --> 02:50:18,561
Um, regarding health care and

6965
02:50:18,561 --> 02:50:19,797
data centers and the impact

6966
02:50:19,797 --> 02:50:20,597
that that infrastructure has on

6967
02:50:20,597 --> 02:50:21,231
our labor.

6968
02:50:21,231 --> 02:50:23,990
Has on.

6969
02:50:23,990 --> 02:50:24,670
Our materials and the broader.

6970
02:50:24,670 --> 02:50:26,670
Community needs.

6971
02:50:27,337 --> 02:50:29,406
So we appreciate you bringing

6972
02:50:29,406 --> 02:50:30,507
your your time your your talent

6973
02:50:30,507 --> 02:50:31,808
to the room because that's what

6974
02:50:31,808 --> 02:50:33,576
it's going to take as we

6975
02:50:33,576 --> 02:50:35,879
deliver these policy solutions.

6976
02:50:35,879 --> 02:50:36,881
Um, these public forums are

6977
02:50:36,881 --> 02:50:38,282
always my favorite meetings

6978
02:50:38,282 --> 02:50:39,116
because I love to hear from the

6979
02:50:39,116 --> 02:50:40,284
residents because I truly.

6980
02:50:40,284 --> 02:50:41,385
Believe that it.

6981
02:50:41,385 --> 02:50:42,152
>> takes all of us.

6982
02:50:42,152 --> 02:50:44,152
And I.

6983
02:50:44,354 --> 02:50:46,189
Believe in personal agency to

6984
02:50:46,189 --> 02:50:47,824
change your environment.

6985
02:50:47,824 --> 02:50:50,193
Uh, one thing that struck me

6986
02:50:50,193 --> 02:50:52,396
today is I think about 77 is

6987
02:50:52,396 --> 02:50:53,530
it's clear that we agree on the

6988
02:50:53,530 --> 02:50:54,640
problem.

6989
02:50:54,640 --> 02:50:56,640
>> where.

6990
02:50:56,100 --> 02:50:56,334
People want congestion relief,

6991
02:50:56,334 --> 02:50:57,234
people.

6992
02:50:57,234 --> 02:50:58,969
Want mobility, people.

6993
02:50:58,969 --> 02:51:00,871
Want their neighborhoods

6994
02:51:00,871 --> 02:51:01,205
preserved and connected to

6995
02:51:01,205 --> 02:51:03,730
amenities.

6996
02:51:03,730 --> 02:51:03,740
Those are things that we can

6997
02:51:03,740 --> 02:51:05,740
agree on.

6998
02:51:06,760 --> 02:51:07,244
I think where I hear.

6999
02:51:07,244 --> 02:51:07,678
>> the voices diverge is on.

7000
02:51:07,678 --> 02:51:09,213
>> what.

7001
02:51:09,213 --> 02:51:11,613
the solution actually is.

7002
02:51:12,317 --> 02:51:12,683
And so I am hopeful that we are

7003
02:51:12,683 --> 02:51:14,683
able.

7004
02:51:15,190 --> 02:51:17,388
To from all sides take a good

7005
02:51:17,388 --> 02:51:19,290
faith effort at trying to back

7006
02:51:19,290 --> 02:51:19,657
up and say who are we trying to

7007
02:51:19,657 --> 02:51:21,358
be?

7008
02:51:21,358 --> 02:51:23,427
We spent a great deal of time

7009
02:51:23,427 --> 02:51:25,162
implementing our 2040 plan

7010
02:51:25,162 --> 02:51:27,865
years ago, and I believe it's

7011
02:51:27,865 --> 02:51:29,400
our northstar whether it's I-77

7012
02:51:29,400 --> 02:51:31,200
or transportation investments,

7013
02:51:31,200 --> 02:51:32,604
whether it's data centers,

7014
02:51:32,604 --> 02:51:34,380
whether it's housing or whether

7015
02:51:34,380 --> 02:51:36,438
it's public safety that.

7016
02:51:36,841 --> 02:51:37,208
Has to be our grounding

7017
02:51:37,208 --> 02:51:38,910
document.

7018
02:51:38,910 --> 02:51:40,177
And we should be producing

7019
02:51:40,177 --> 02:51:41,779
policy and a suite of policy

7020
02:51:41,779 --> 02:51:43,800
that works together that's

7021
02:51:43,800 --> 02:51:44,815
better than the sum of its

7022
02:51:44,815 --> 02:51:47,180
parts to deliver that vision.

7023
02:51:47,180 --> 02:51:49,554
And so I'm hopeful that we'll

7024
02:51:49,554 --> 02:51:50,355
be able to take a step back and

7025
02:51:50,355 --> 02:51:52,755
really understand where we're

7026
02:51:53,358 --> 02:51:54,459
trying to go so that we can

7027
02:51:54,459 --> 02:51:55,593
develop a solution that works

7028
02:51:55,593 --> 02:51:56,600
for everyone.

7029
02:51:56,600 --> 02:51:57,929
Uh.

7030
02:51:57,929 --> 02:51:58,763
>> we've got to lean on our

7031
02:51:58,763 --> 02:52:00,932
partners at the state.

7032
02:52:00,932 --> 02:52:02,867
Uh, we know that to do the work

7033
02:52:02,867 --> 02:52:05,370
correctly and to have the data

7034
02:52:05,370 --> 02:52:06,805
um, and the ability to assess

7035
02:52:06,805 --> 02:52:07,773
alternatives not just design

7036
02:52:07,773 --> 02:52:09,374
alternatives but true

7037
02:52:09,374 --> 02:52:10,976
alternatives to the approach

7038
02:52:10,976 --> 02:52:11,176
that we're going to need more

7039
02:52:11,176 --> 02:52:13,176
time.

7040
02:52:13,645 --> 02:52:15,580
And so I would implore all of

7041
02:52:15,580 --> 02:52:18,249
you who came out tonight to

7042
02:52:18,249 --> 02:52:20,151
reach out to ncdot to reach out

7043
02:52:20,151 --> 02:52:21,921
to governor stein, to reach out

7044
02:52:21,921 --> 02:52:23,155
to your legislative

7045
02:52:23,155 --> 02:52:24,923
representatives because what we

7046
02:52:24,923 --> 02:52:27,125
know that we need is in order

7047
02:52:27,125 --> 02:52:28,260
to make a quality product, we

7048
02:52:28,260 --> 02:52:28,460
need to be able to invest the

7049
02:52:28,460 --> 02:52:29,695
time.

7050
02:52:29,695 --> 02:52:31,396
To do it.

7051
02:52:31,396 --> 02:52:32,998
um, and so I look forward to

7052
02:52:32,998 --> 02:52:34,433
continuing down the path on

7053
02:52:34,433 --> 02:52:36,201
that one to actually deliver

7054
02:52:36,201 --> 02:52:36,368
something that we all want to

7055
02:52:36,368 --> 02:52:36,701
see.

7056
02:52:36,701 --> 02:52:38,503
Um.

7057
02:52:38,503 --> 02:52:39,772
>> and I hope that everyone

7058
02:52:39,772 --> 02:52:42,141
recognizes that this is just

7059
02:52:42,141 --> 02:52:43,442
one example of policy work

7060
02:52:43,442 --> 02:52:43,776
that's going to require a shift

7061
02:52:43,776 --> 02:52:45,776
from.

7062
02:52:45,944 --> 02:52:47,944
Incremental improvements to

7063
02:52:47,979 --> 02:52:50,480
truly revolutionizing how we

7064
02:52:50,480 --> 02:52:51,650
view our community and how we

7065
02:52:51,650 --> 02:52:52,117
view our policy that delivers

7066
02:52:52,117 --> 02:52:52,751
our future.

7067
02:52:52,751 --> 02:52:54,152
Um.

7068
02:52:54,152 --> 02:52:55,620
That's it for me.

7069
02:52:55,620 --> 02:52:55,787
Thank you, doctor watlington

7070
02:52:55,787 --> 02:52:57,156
and.

7071
02:52:57,156 --> 02:52:57,356
Finally, council member ajmera

7072
02:52:57,356 --> 02:52:59,225
.

7073
02:52:59,225 --> 02:53:00,793
Thank you, mayor harrington.

7074
02:53:00,793 --> 02:53:03,193
I have four things.

7075
02:53:03,929 --> 02:53:05,197
First, I also want to honor

7076
02:53:05,197 --> 02:53:07,366
doctor gina and everett.

7077
02:53:07,366 --> 02:53:10,236
Uh thank you councilmember lens

7078
02:53:10,236 --> 02:53:12,571
for, um, honoring her.

7079
02:53:12,571 --> 02:53:14,941
Uh, my heart goes out to alex

7080
02:53:14,941 --> 02:53:15,275
and her extended family and

7081
02:53:15,275 --> 02:53:17,275
friends.

7082
02:53:19,450 --> 02:53:22,645
I've had an opportunity to work

7083
02:53:22,982 --> 02:53:24,717
with her, uh, and I certainly

7084
02:53:24,717 --> 02:53:26,319
appreciated her passion that

7085
02:53:26,319 --> 02:53:28,540
she brought to the table.

7086
02:53:28,540 --> 02:53:30,422
And I loved how she would go

7087
02:53:30,422 --> 02:53:31,691
through trash cans and pick out

7088
02:53:31,691 --> 02:53:34,910
all the cans out.

7089
02:53:34,994 --> 02:53:37,197
Um, at almost every event that

7090
02:53:37,197 --> 02:53:37,697
I and I have been to where she

7091
02:53:37,697 --> 02:53:39,697
was there.

7092
02:53:41,901 --> 02:53:43,803
So, uh, my heart goes out to

7093
02:53:43,803 --> 02:53:46,472
her her friends and family.

7094
02:53:46,472 --> 02:53:48,374
Uh, second, I just want to

7095
02:53:48,374 --> 02:53:49,342
thank staff like councilmember

7096
02:53:49,342 --> 02:53:50,744
watlington said about.

7097
02:53:50,744 --> 02:53:51,378
Uh.

7098
02:53:51,378 --> 02:53:53,378
>> town hall.

7099
02:53:53,713 --> 02:53:55,282
I had my town hall last week.

7100
02:53:55,282 --> 02:53:57,500
Councilmember watlington as

7101
02:53:57,500 --> 02:53:57,684
well as councilmember massara

7102
02:53:57,684 --> 02:53:58,618
arias were there.

7103
02:53:58,618 --> 02:54:01,180
Thank you for coming.

7104
02:54:01,921 --> 02:54:03,189
Uh, we had more than 150

7105
02:54:03,189 --> 02:54:04,924
residents, uh, who joined us

7106
02:54:04,924 --> 02:54:06,994
for my annual state of our

7107
02:54:06,994 --> 02:54:09,396
environment town hall with the

7108
02:54:09,396 --> 02:54:10,964
focus on data centers, water,

7109
02:54:10,964 --> 02:54:13,330
energy and charlotte's future

7110
02:54:13,330 --> 02:54:14,468
and we heard from the industry

7111
02:54:14,468 --> 02:54:16,468
neighborhood advocates from

7112
02:54:17,300 --> 02:54:18,905
city staff, environment

7113
02:54:18,905 --> 02:54:20,206
advocates and I heard five

7114
02:54:20,206 --> 02:54:22,206
things very clear.

7115
02:54:23,309 --> 02:54:24,245
First, uh, protect our water.

7116
02:54:24,245 --> 02:54:26,245
Protect our.

7117
02:54:26,513 --> 02:54:28,115
>> water grid, protect our

7118
02:54:28,115 --> 02:54:31,115
neighborhoods and make sure our

7119
02:54:32,520 --> 02:54:34,421
growth pays its own way and

7120
02:54:34,421 --> 02:54:36,323
give residents a voice before

7121
02:54:36,323 --> 02:54:39,159
decisions are made, not after.

7122
02:54:39,159 --> 02:54:40,894
So as we go through this

7123
02:54:40,894 --> 02:54:43,294
process, I certainly look

7124
02:54:44,999 --> 02:54:48,135
forward to ensuring that now oh

7125
02:54:48,135 --> 02:54:50,371
we turn this feedback into

7126
02:54:50,371 --> 02:54:52,771
action in coming months.

7127
02:54:55,209 --> 02:54:59,280
Uh, next I want to talk about.

7128
02:54:59,280 --> 02:54:59,447
Up down up down street vendors

7129
02:54:59,447 --> 02:55:01,150
.

7130
02:55:01,150 --> 02:55:03,251
I know some of my colleagues

7131
02:55:03,251 --> 02:55:05,251
brought that up.

7132
02:55:05,753 --> 02:55:07,621
>> um I.

7133
02:55:07,621 --> 02:55:09,523
Support what cmpd is trying to

7134
02:55:09,523 --> 02:55:09,857
do which is to keep our uptown

7135
02:55:09,857 --> 02:55:11,857
safe.

7136
02:55:12,993 --> 02:55:15,529
But I'm having a hard time

7137
02:55:15,529 --> 02:55:17,929
understanding how limiting the

7138
02:55:18,533 --> 02:55:20,134
hours of small businesses will

7139
02:55:20,134 --> 02:55:20,468
result in reduction in violent

7140
02:55:20,468 --> 02:55:22,468
crime.

7141
02:55:23,438 --> 02:55:25,173
So, uh, I would like the

7142
02:55:25,173 --> 02:55:28,476
manager and cmpd to come back

7143
02:55:28,476 --> 02:55:30,411
to us with data behind this

7144
02:55:30,411 --> 02:55:32,811
decisions and alternatives that

7145
02:55:33,800 --> 02:55:36,800
allows us to protect public

7146
02:55:36,551 --> 02:55:37,719
safety without unnecessarily

7147
02:55:37,719 --> 02:55:38,620
hurting small businesses.

7148
02:55:38,620 --> 02:55:40,620
Um.

7149
02:55:40,955 --> 02:55:42,724
>> because if the problem is

7150
02:55:42,724 --> 02:55:45,526
crime then let's target crime.

7151
02:55:45,526 --> 02:55:46,961
i'm not convinced that a small

7152
02:55:46,961 --> 02:55:49,961
business or a few small

7153
02:55:50,431 --> 02:55:51,867
businesses should be a

7154
02:55:51,867 --> 02:55:52,667
collateral damage and that's

7155
02:55:52,667 --> 02:55:55,670
what's happening right now.

7156
02:55:56,104 --> 02:55:58,974
Uh, last but not the least, I

7157
02:55:58,974 --> 02:55:59,374
want to raise the issue of

7158
02:55:59,374 --> 02:56:01,374
predatory towing.

7159
02:56:01,643 --> 02:56:02,143
Andrea, thank you so much for

7160
02:56:02,143 --> 02:56:04,143
your memo.

7161
02:56:04,479 --> 02:56:04,779
Uh, I know we have had an

7162
02:56:04,779 --> 02:56:05,380
opportunity.

7163
02:56:05,380 --> 02:56:05,847
>> to chat.

7164
02:56:05,847 --> 02:56:07,715
About this.

7165
02:56:07,715 --> 02:56:09,485
I would like to refer our

7166
02:56:09,485 --> 02:56:11,553
towing ordinance to our safety

7167
02:56:11,553 --> 02:56:13,455
committee and our staff and the

7168
02:56:13,455 --> 02:56:15,991
city attorney to bring this

7169
02:56:15,991 --> 02:56:17,259
option to strengthen protection

7170
02:56:17,259 --> 02:56:19,259
against predatory towing.

7171
02:56:19,928 --> 02:56:22,430
What I have seen from our

7172
02:56:22,430 --> 02:56:22,797
residents and even our

7173
02:56:22,797 --> 02:56:24,797
communications.

7174
02:56:26,535 --> 02:56:28,437
Sent us an email last week

7175
02:56:28,437 --> 02:56:30,206
where residents are being

7176
02:56:30,206 --> 02:56:32,606
charged an inconvenience fee

7177
02:56:33,509 --> 02:56:34,309
for calling 911 and that should

7178
02:56:34,309 --> 02:56:36,709
never be the case.

7179
02:56:36,979 --> 02:56:38,113
People have a right to call 911

7180
02:56:38,113 --> 02:56:40,182
and they should not be charged

7181
02:56:40,182 --> 02:56:42,384
an inconvenience fee for

7182
02:56:42,384 --> 02:56:44,384
calling law enforcement.

7183
02:56:46,923 --> 02:56:49,458
That's unacceptable and I know

7184
02:56:49,458 --> 02:56:51,527
based on andrea's memo there

7185
02:56:51,527 --> 02:56:53,562
are other towns and

7186
02:56:53,562 --> 02:56:55,962
municipalities that have taken

7187
02:56:55,965 --> 02:56:57,866
stronger protections in place

7188
02:56:57,866 --> 02:57:00,266
to protect our residents.

7189
02:57:01,771 --> 02:57:03,673
Currently we have a $400 flat

7190
02:57:03,673 --> 02:57:04,807
penalty that doesn't account

7191
02:57:04,807 --> 02:57:06,807
for repeat offenders.

7192
02:57:09,178 --> 02:57:11,547
So uh, I would like us to look

7193
02:57:11,547 --> 02:57:13,616
into that to increase escalate

7194
02:57:13,616 --> 02:57:16,160
it for repeat offenders,

7195
02:57:16,285 --> 02:57:18,822
especially for bad actors and

7196
02:57:18,822 --> 02:57:20,557
um so the my scope that I would

7197
02:57:20,557 --> 02:57:22,625
like us to examine escalating

7198
02:57:22,625 --> 02:57:24,600
penalties for repeat offenders

7199
02:57:24,600 --> 02:57:25,195
protection for nighttime towing

7200
02:57:25,195 --> 02:57:25,528
because I know we have

7201
02:57:25,528 --> 02:57:26,329
different.

7202
02:57:26,329 --> 02:57:28,329
Protections for.

7203
02:57:28,664 --> 02:57:29,332
Daytime and not protections in

7204
02:57:29,332 --> 02:57:30,733
place for nighttime.

7205
02:57:30,733 --> 02:57:31,401
And that's where a lot of

7206
02:57:31,401 --> 02:57:33,401
predatory towing happens.

7207
02:57:34,370 --> 02:57:36,370
Um, prohibit or.

7208
02:57:37,307 --> 02:57:39,307
Stronger disclosure.

7209
02:57:39,810 --> 02:57:41,244
Requirements and and I know

7210
02:57:41,244 --> 02:57:43,130
there are certain bad actors

7211
02:57:43,130 --> 02:57:45,810
that the attorney's office is

7212
02:57:45,810 --> 02:57:46,216
taking the attorney general's

7213
02:57:46,216 --> 02:57:47,317
office is taking an action

7214
02:57:47,317 --> 02:57:49,317
against them.

7215
02:57:49,819 --> 02:57:51,554
If we can create a pathway for

7216
02:57:51,554 --> 02:57:52,722
us to refer some of these bad

7217
02:57:52,722 --> 02:57:53,122
actors to the attorney

7218
02:57:53,122 --> 02:57:54,291
general's office.

7219
02:57:54,291 --> 02:57:54,925
So that's all I have.

7220
02:57:54,925 --> 02:57:56,326
Thank you.

7221
02:57:56,326 --> 02:57:57,728
>> council member moura.

7222
02:57:57,728 --> 02:58:00,970
And on the referral request

7223
02:58:00,970 --> 02:58:00,564
let's let's um if necessary

7224
02:58:00,564 --> 02:58:00,931
talk a little bit.

7225
02:58:00,931 --> 02:58:02,990
>> more.

7226
02:58:02,990 --> 02:58:03,533
On that just to make sure that

7227
02:58:03,533 --> 02:58:03,900
we know exactly what's being

7228
02:58:03,900 --> 02:58:05,268
requested and.

7229
02:58:05,268 --> 02:58:05,535
I think I'm trying to frame

7230
02:58:05,535 --> 02:58:05,769
something.

7231
02:58:05,769 --> 02:58:07,571
Yeah I.

7232
02:58:07,571 --> 02:58:09,500
>> think the attorney knows uh

7233
02:58:09,500 --> 02:58:10,774
because it was in her memos she

7234
02:58:10,774 --> 02:58:12,509
sent it out last week and then

7235
02:58:12,509 --> 02:58:14,578
she also sent out an updated

7236
02:58:14,578 --> 02:58:16,180
