00:04:21,546 --> 00:04:22,580
motion should be adopted.

243
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:23,278

stepping up, volunteers giving

246

00:04:25,808 --> 00:04:26,635
of order.

that concludes my mayor's

260
00:04:35,450 --> 00:04:36,857
it's especially fitting that

261
00:04:36,857 --> 00:04:37,404
report now are there any

262
00:04:37,404 --> 00:04:38,700
reports of committees or

263
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:38,920
that we on the city council and

264
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,804
the city of knoxville pause

tonight as a community to

266
00:04:40,174 --> 00:04:41,168
council members serving on

267
00:04:41,168 --> 00:04:43,168
recognize this extraordinary

268
00:04:44,171 --> 00:04:45,920
committees or boards?

269
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:45,579
>> council member honeycut I'll

270
00:04:45,579 --> 00:04:46,654
legacy for me personally and I

271
00:04:46,654 --> 00:04:47,666
think for all of us it reminds

272
00:04:47,666 --> 00:04:48,331
just report that I attended the

273
00:04:48,331 --> 00:04:49,226
recent pension board and

274
00:04:49,226 --> 00:04:49,892
us of something important that

275
00:04:49,892 --> 00:04:51,514
honoring our veterans is not

276
00:04:51,514 --> 00:04:52,981
investment committee meetings.

277
00:04:52,981 --> 00:04:53,830
just something that happens in

278
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:54,824
washington, d.c. But something

279
00:04:54,824 --> 00:04:55,361
that we do here at home and

280
00:04:55,361 --> 00:04:56,780
both were routine in nature.

281
00:04:56,780 --> 00:04:56,639
the board approved standard

282
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:57,408
items like new enrollments,

283
00:04:57,408 --> 00:04:57,761
it's more important to do here

284
00:04:57,761 --> 00:04:59,412
at home.

285
00:04:59,412 --> 00:05:00,640
retirements and invoices, all

286
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,890
of which passed unanimously.

287
00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:01,511
so overall the system remains

288
00:05:01,511 --> 00:05:02,186
please join me and city council

289
00:05:02,186 --> 00:05:03,671

666
00:10:12,774 --> 00:10:12,949

00:15:19,771 --> 00:15:20,240
most importantly this program

966
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,738
the spot zoning is an illegal

967
00:15:20,738 --> 00:15:21,304
helps young people see what

968
00:15:21,304 --> 00:15:24,830
is possible for their future

969
00:15:24,830 --> 00:15:24,742
whether that's college or a

970
00:15:24,742 --> 00:15:25,320
skilled trade entrepreneurship

971
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,286
or entering the workforce.

972
00:15:27,286 --> 00:15:28,144
use of zoning to the owner's

973
00:15:28,144 --> 00:15:29,226
and this next cohort will teach

974
00:15:29,226 --> 00:15:30,886
them how to make their ideas a

975
00:15:30,886 --> 00:15:31,415
benefit but it's very antifa

976
00:15:31,415 --> 00:15:32,237
of planned zoning.

977
00:15:32,237 --> 00:15:32,804
reality continued investment in

978
00:15:32,804 --> 00:15:35,161
an excuse me continued

979
00:15:35,161 --> 00:15:35,800
this is an exception to create

980
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,663
investment in programs like the

981
00:15:36,663 --> 00:15:37,441
pathways program helps us build

982
00:15:37,441 --> 00:15:39,782
a stronger workforce and safer

983
00:15:39,782 --> 00:15:40,400
a pedestrian centric location

984
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:40,552
communities and broader future

985
00:15:40,552 --> 00:15:42,552
for knoxville's youth.

986
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:43,693
thank you for your support.

987
00:15:43,693 --> 00:15:43,996
thank you.

988
00:15:43,996 --> 00:15:46,862
in an auto centric area because

989
00:15:46,862 --> 00:15:47,168
there's one person signed up to

990
00:15:47,168 --> 00:15:47,835
it's virtuous carrycot.

991
00:15:47,835 --> 00:15:48,372
speak in opposition to item

992
00:15:48,372 --> 00:15:51,210
I've met with some of those

993
00:15:51,210 --> 00:15:51,949
twelve of matthew robinson.

994
00:15:51,949 --> 00:15:52,239
individuals.

995
00:15:52,239 --> 00:15:52,870
mr. Robinson, if you could come

996
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:55,135
I have certain questions about

997
00:15:55,135 --> 00:15:55,864
to the podium state your name

998
00:15:55,864 --> 00:15:55,929
some of it I would say that

999
00:15:55,929 --> 00:15:56,727
and address for the record and

1000
00:15:56,727 --> 00:15:58,910
you'll have up to three minutes

1001
00:15:58,910 --> 00:15:58,949
to address council.

1002
00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:59,190
they are very honest in their

1003
00:15:59,190 --> 00:15:59,254
>> hello my name is matthew

1004
00:15:59,254 --> 00:15:59,902
robinson.

1005
00:15:59,902 --> 00:16:02,902
concern for the the persons

1006
00:16:03,940 --> 00:16:03,113
that they want to provide this

1007
00:16:03,113 --> 00:16:03,642
I am executive director knox.

1008
00:16:03,642 --> 00:16:05,642
service to.

1009
00:16:06,237 --> 00:16:07,165
my address is forty eight

1010
00:16:07,165 --> 00:16:07,208
however that virtuous approach

1011
00:16:07,208 --> 00:16:08,175
twenty fountain view wait three

1012
00:16:08,175 --> 00:16:10,755
seven nine one eight and to

1013
00:16:10,755 --> 00:16:11,382
start I really didn't know I

1014
00:16:11,382 --> 00:16:11,518
is not address the safety

1015
00:16:11,518 --> 00:16:14,487
signed up to speak in

1016
00:16:14,487 --> 00:16:14,893
opposition so apologies but I

1017
00:16:14,893 --> 00:16:15,462
concerns of pedestrians

1018
00:16:15,462 --> 00:16:15,763
would like to start off by

1019
00:16:15,763 --> 00:16:18,554
is going across the street

1020
00:16:18,554 --> 00:16:18,967
saying I don't have any

1021
00:16:18,967 --> 00:16:19,114
where there are no sidewalks,

1022
00:16:19,114 --> 00:16:19,752
objections to these

1023
00:16:19,752 --> 00:16:21,752
organizations getting this

1024
00:16:21,756 --> 00:16:21,916
no sod, no other protective

1025
00:16:21,916 --> 00:16:23,660
grant.

1026
00:16:23,660 --> 00:16:23,739
I just want to know if there's

1027
00:16:23,739 --> 00:16:25,803
a system that can be

1028
00:16:25,803 --> 00:16:25,965
implemented to better notify

1029
00:16:25,965 --> 00:16:26,552
services that are available to

1030
00:16:26,552 --> 00:16:27,214
nonprofits that have already

1031
00:16:27,214 --> 00:16:29,614
contributed and are currently

1032
00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:29,990
pedestrians.

1033
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:30,742
contributing to violence

1034
00:16:30,742 --> 00:16:30,778
interruption and they have

1035
00:16:30,778 --> 00:16:31,420
>> I was driving on merchants

1036
00:16:31,420 --> 00:16:33,810
proven track records and

1037
00:16:33,810 --> 00:16:34,574
success in this line of work.

1038
00:16:34,574 --> 00:16:34,751
drive a week ago and had a

1039
00:16:34,751 --> 00:16:35,538
I understand that these things

1040
00:16:35,538 --> 00:16:37,426

1042
00:16:38,990 --> 00:16:38,512
website but there's also no

1043
00:16:38,512 --> 00:16:39,288
of me at the end of the

1044
00:16:39,288 --> 00:16:41,179
sidewalk because the right hand

1045
00:16:41,179 --> 00:16:42,200
indication to my knowledge when

1046
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:42,267
that is until it happens.

1047
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:44,779
side merchants drive does not

1048
00:16:44,779 --> 00:16:45,833
I also know that not too long

1049
00:16:45,833 --> 00:16:46,469
ago there was tensions between

1050
00:16:46,469 --> 00:16:46,809
going north does not is not a

1051
00:16:46,809 --> 00:16:48,604
continuous sidewalk.

00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,211
you never looked right.

1055
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:52,410

1056
00:16:52,410 --> 00:16:52,964

his efforts and contributions

1059
00:16:54,410 --> 00:16:56,186
I had to stop and wait for the

1060
00:16:56,186 --> 00:16:57,730

endeavors.

1065
00:16:58,461 --> 00:17:00,630
before I could proceed around

1066
00:17:00,630 --> 00:17:01,301
we also know that there are

1067
00:17:01,301 --> 00:17:01,641

00:18:40,899 --> 00:18:43,899
operation and this is the

1155
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:46,478
virtual signaling that I'm

1156
00:18:48,265 --> 00:18:50,665
talking about the application

1157
00:18:52,167 --> 00:18:55,167
for a special service center.

1158
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:56,968
>> the application for the

1159
00:18:56,968 --> 00:18:57,723
special service center

1160
00:18:57,723 --> 00:18:57,754

1161
00:18:57,754 --> 00:18:58,728
motion to approve second, ok,

1162
00:18:58,728 --> 00:18:59,401
we did have that already and

1163
00:18:59,401 --> 00:19:00,305
now we have it again.

1164
00:19:00,305 --> 00:19:00,538
thank you council member

1165
00:19:00,538 --> 00:19:00,812

supposed to be consistent with

1167
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:01,247
>> yes.

1168
00:19:01,247 --> 00:19:02,196
adopted plans.

1169
00:19:02,196 --> 00:19:03,890
I want you to give a shout out

1170
00:19:03,890 --> 00:19:03,335
to my friends at two bikes as

1171
00:19:03,335 --> 00:19:04,159
well.

1172
00:19:04,159 --> 00:19:04,725
I'm a frequenter of office down

1173
00:19:04,725 --> 00:19:05,772
in the old city.

1174
00:19:05,772 --> 00:19:06,553
it's been a place or any time

1175
00:19:06,553 --> 00:19:07,218
I'm downtown and my tires need

1176
00:19:07,218 --> 00:19:07,229
well, not inure to any ah

1177
00:19:07,229 --> 00:19:08,700
everything up a little bit

1178
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:08,157
there they will do it just

1179
00:19:08,157 --> 00:19:08,899
distract from the environment

1180
00:19:08,899 --> 00:19:09,789
right to the tee and also they

1181
00:19:09,789 --> 00:19:10,464
even given me a good venue for

1182
00:19:10,464 --> 00:19:11,260
spare parts like occasionally I

1183
00:19:11,260 --> 00:19:11,494
run in tyvi circles that aren't

1184
00:19:11,494 --> 00:19:12,755
used.

1185
00:19:12,755 --> 00:19:13,131
congestion weather impacts.

1186
00:19:13,131 --> 00:19:13,879
I had about four at one time I

1187
00:19:13,879 --> 00:19:15,969
all of this is set out in

1188
00:19:15,969 --> 00:19:17,337
article sixteen dash to dash f

1189
00:19:17,337 --> 00:19:19,657
donated two of them to the two

1190
00:19:19,657 --> 00:19:21,137
dash to f page 370 six and more

1191
00:19:21,137 --> 00:19:22,100
bikes for parks and they do a

1192
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:23,647
really good service and one

1193
00:19:23,647 --> 00:19:24,993
important underline how this

1194
00:19:24,993 --> 00:19:25,933
thing I've tried to think once

1195
00:19:25,933 --> 00:19:28,933
is maybe the best invention

1196
00:19:29,744 --> 00:19:30,932
of humankind and it would hard

1197
00:19:30,932 --> 00:19:31,302
to it'd be hard to think that a

1198
00:19:31,302 --> 00:19:33,806
is the the corruption of virtue

1199
00:19:33,806 --> 00:19:34,575
basic goal is not it would

1200
00:19:34,575 --> 00:19:35,950
definitely be in the running

1201
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:36,262
is that there were application

1202
00:19:36,262 --> 00:19:37,589
ins for permits that have been

1203
00:19:37,589 --> 00:19:37,928
you think about a bicycle, it's

1204
00:19:37,928 --> 00:19:39,444
all good.

1205
00:19:39,444 --> 00:19:40,864
reviewed and approved already

1206
00:19:40,864 --> 00:19:43,264
you know, low cost

1207
00:19:43,454 --> 00:19:44,861
in violation of section sixteen

1208
00:19:44,861 --> 00:19:45,917
transportation exercise claim

1209
00:19:45,917 --> 00:19:48,490
for the environment and two

1210
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:49,900
twelve b six there was and

1211
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:49,873
bikes is doing all that stuff

1212
00:19:49,873 --> 00:19:50,445
and they're training people to

1213
00:19:50,445 --> 00:19:50,817
work on their bikes.

1214
00:19:50,817 --> 00:19:51,504
of the activa appeal there were

1215
00:19:51,504 --> 00:19:52,565
no permits that are authorized

1216
00:19:52,565 --> 00:19:53,900
they're giving low cost bikes

1217
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:54,351
to people.

1218
00:19:54,351 --> 00:19:55,615
so I just wanted to give them a

1219
00:19:55,615 --> 00:19:56,836
to be reached be issued out and

1220
00:19:56,836 --> 00:19:57,402
shout out and let them know

1221
00:19:57,402 --> 00:19:57,630
that they were really

1222
00:19:57,630 --> 00:19:58,219
appreciated.

1223
00:19:58,219 --> 00:19:59,441
the city has done it.

1224
00:19:59,441 --> 00:20:00,146
ceo was issued on 30th

1225
00:20:00,146 --> 00:20:00,646
thank you.

1226
00:20:00,646 --> 00:20:02,646
thank you.

1227
00:20:02,837 --> 00:20:02,963
of january.

1228
00:20:02,963 --> 00:20:03,742
council member grant.

1229
00:20:03,742 --> 00:20:05,742
that's a certificate

1230
00:20:06,515 --> 00:20:07,101
of occupancy is not allowed

1231
00:20:07,101 --> 00:20:09,101
thank you, mayor.

1232
00:20:10,704 --> 00:20:10,763
under the provisions of this

1233
00:20:10,763 --> 00:20:11,542
I think I will be myself if I

1234
00:20:11,542 --> 00:20:12,842
didn't speak to some things

1235
00:20:12,842 --> 00:20:14,215
that I feel like a few of us up

1236
00:20:14,215 --> 00:20:14,916
code in chapter sixteen there

1237
00:20:14,916 --> 00:20:15,193
here thinking I want to start

1238
00:20:15,193 --> 00:20:16,174
is no doubt that they might be

1239
00:20:16,174 --> 00:20:18,618
doing right but there's also no

1240
00:20:18,618 --> 00:20:18,738
by saying last thursday I had

1241
00:20:18,738 --> 00:20:21,294
doubt that every single part

1242
00:20:21,294 --> 00:20:22,242
an opportunity to meet with

1243
00:20:22,242 --> 00:20:22,338
crosslin who is the audit

1244
00:20:22,338 --> 00:20:23,297
of the ordinance designed to

1245
00:20:23,297 --> 00:20:23,948
protect the public in the

1246
00:20:23,948 --> 00:20:25,837
pedestrian traffic of that

1247
00:20:25,837 --> 00:20:26,735
committee that the city has

1248
00:20:26,735 --> 00:20:29,135
facility are ignored for

1249
00:20:29,135 --> 00:20:29,665
entrusted to to do the city's

1250
00:20:29,665 --> 00:20:30,323
audit.

1251
00:20:30,323 --> 00:20:30,381
virtuous reasons.

1252
00:20:30,381 --> 00:20:32,781
our first audit committee

1253
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:34,374
meeting was february 18th and

1254
00:20:34,374 --> 00:20:37,151
this body needs to revoke and

1255
00:20:37,151 --> 00:20:37,899
there were some findings

1256
00:20:37,899 --> 00:20:38,565
obviously some findings and

1257
00:20:38,565 --> 00:20:38,797
return it back to the planning

1258
00:20:38,797 --> 00:20:40,797
commission.

1259
00:20:40,919 --> 00:20:41,256
some things that we need to fix

1260
00:20:41,256 --> 00:20:42,262
.

1261
00:20:42,262 --> 00:20:42,659
but after having that

1262
00:20:42,659 --> 00:20:45,454
they were humbled and desire to

1263
00:20:45,454 --> 00:20:46,162
conversation with mr. Hunter

1264
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:47,253
do good but in the doing

1265
00:20:47,253 --> 00:20:49,740
of good you can destroy the law

1266
00:20:49,740 --> 00:20:50,639
last thursday, I have to be

1267
00:20:50,639 --> 00:20:51,502
and the law was developed to

1268
00:20:51,502 --> 00:20:52,150
protect the people that are

1269
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:53,216
honest the fact that we're

1270
00:20:53,216 --> 00:20:54,676
sitting here today and we are

1271
00:20:54,676 --> 00:20:55,394
actually supposed to be served.

1272
00:20:55,394 --> 00:20:55,689
trying to prove another round

1273
00:20:55,689 --> 00:20:58,689
when asked what are these

1274
00:20:59,850 --> 00:20:59,438
people going to do when the

1275
00:20:59,438 --> 00:21:00,625
building closes?

1276
00:21:00,625 --> 00:21:02,683
of grants after auditor said

1277
00:21:02,683 --> 00:21:03,139
well they go back to wherever

1278
00:21:03,139 --> 00:21:03,238
that you know and I'm quoting

1279
00:21:03,238 --> 00:21:04,261
they are at.

1280
00:21:04,261 --> 00:21:04,293
in other words they filter

1281
00:21:04,293 --> 00:21:06,424
right that money awarded to

1282
00:21:06,424 --> 00:21:07,779
through my residential

1283
00:21:07,779 --> 00:21:08,545
organizations did not meet one

1284
00:21:08,545 --> 00:21:10,415
or more established eligibility

1285
00:21:10,415 --> 00:21:11,322
community to wherever they

1286
00:21:11,322 --> 00:21:11,874
requirements due to

1287
00:21:11,874 --> 00:21:13,874
insufficient verification and

1288
00:21:14,117 --> 00:21:14,987
might have been drawn from and

1289
00:21:14,987 --> 00:21:15,570
according to their own analysis

1290
00:21:15,570 --> 00:21:15,380
documentation review procedures

1291
00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:16,306
.

1292
00:21:16,306 --> 00:21:18,277
they were also quoted saying

1293
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:18,579
they're looking at eighty

1294
00:21:18,579 --> 00:21:18,921
that there was a gatekeeper

1295
00:21:18,921 --> 00:21:19,311
people on sundays.

1296
00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:19,458
right.

1297
00:21:19,458 --> 00:21:22,226
with both our grant and

1298
00:21:22,226 --> 00:21:23,467
procurement process.

1299
00:21:23,467 --> 00:21:25,661
and we do not know what the

1300
00:21:25,661 --> 00:21:26,621
traffic is going to be but the

1301
00:21:26,621 --> 00:21:26,823
>> I don't have much time only

1302
00:21:26,823 --> 00:21:27,185
point being that all of it

1303
00:21:27,185 --> 00:21:28,420
have about three minutes.

1304
00:21:28,420 --> 00:21:29,395
>> but I want to encourage the

1305
00:21:29,395 --> 00:21:30,316
is auto centric.

1306
00:21:30,316 --> 00:21:30,901
gary is going to be pedestrian

1307
00:21:30,901 --> 00:21:31,666
public to go to knoxville

1308
00:21:31,666 --> 00:21:34,660
community meetings, youtube and

1309
00:21:34,208 --> 00:21:34,839
centric with no transport.

1310
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:35,383
watch the section of the

1311
00:21:35,383 --> 00:21:35,426
february 17th meeting.

1312
00:21:35,426 --> 00:21:37,897
I would like to reserve the

1313
00:21:37,897 --> 00:21:39,420
remainder of my time to be able

1314
00:21:39,420 --> 00:21:39,717
thirty seven minutes and thirty

1315
00:21:39,717 --> 00:21:40,495
eight seconds to fifty seven

1316
00:21:40,495 --> 00:21:41,305
minutes and two seconds and

1317
00:21:41,305 --> 00:21:41,646
to respond to anything from

1318
00:21:41,646 --> 00:21:42,417
it's about fifteen minute

1319
00:21:42,417 --> 00:21:42,584
window but it tells you

1320
00:21:42,584 --> 00:21:45,208
that might be raised that I'm

1321
00:21:45,208 --> 00:21:46,168
everything you need to know

1322
00:21:46,168 --> 00:21:46,303
about the base of my argument

1323
00:21:46,303 --> 00:21:47,100
mr. Hamilton, you can use the

1324
00:21:47,100 --> 00:21:48,850
rest of your time now but at

1325
00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:49,244
the rebuttal it'll just be two

1326
00:21:49,244 --> 00:21:49,337
minutes.

1327
00:21:49,337 --> 00:21:50,920
here tonight during that

1328
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,492
meeting with councilwoman adams

1329
00:21:53,484 --> 00:21:54,460
and amelia parker they raise

1330
00:21:54,460 --> 00:21:56,239
very serious and valid concerns

1331
00:21:56,239 --> 00:21:56,934
thank you.

1332
00:21:56,934 --> 00:21:57,454
about the grant process.

1333
00:21:57,454 --> 00:22:00,186
this body has a responsibility

1334
00:22:00,186 --> 00:22:01,156
it was also stated by miss

1335
00:22:01,156 --> 00:22:04,156
buuck and also interpreted that

1336
00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:04,747
to uphold the law it enacted.

1337
00:22:04,747 --> 00:22:08,278
we wouldn't see grant in front

1338
00:22:08,278 --> 00:22:08,746
>> you start making excel to

1339
00:22:08,746 --> 00:22:12,450
of us until november I believe

1340
00:22:12,450 --> 00:22:12,870
karen adams you know you raised

1341
00:22:12,870 --> 00:22:13,160
the degree that I've laid out

1342
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,786
you mentioned making sure that

1343
00:22:13,786 --> 00:22:15,178
we can support these

1344
00:22:15,178 --> 00:22:16,364
then your ordinance has no real

1345
00:22:16,364 --> 00:22:16,779
value as long as we have a

1346
00:22:16,779 --> 00:22:17,573
organizations now due to the

1347
00:22:17,573 --> 00:22:19,535
time constraint and it was I

1348
00:22:19,535 --> 00:22:20,467
virtuous reason this body

1349
00:22:20,467 --> 00:22:21,355
was under the impression that

1350
00:22:21,355 --> 00:22:23,633
we were having to november to

1351
00:22:23,633 --> 00:22:24,420
fix our grant process when we

1352
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:24,944
is not going to be picking up

1353
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:27,557
the people that might be hit on

1354
00:22:27,557 --> 00:22:27,934
that road in the middle of the

1355
00:22:27,934 --> 00:22:28,500
actually look at the

1356
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:28,519
applications before us today

1357
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:30,381
night because they're hanging

1358
00:22:30,381 --> 00:22:32,639
they're dated for november in

1359
00:22:32,639 --> 00:22:34,396
out around a place where they

1360
00:22:34,396 --> 00:22:35,544
december of last year.

1361
00:22:35,544 --> 00:22:35,827
>> when we go back to that

1362
00:22:35,827 --> 00:22:36,958
can't there is no sidewalks.

1363
00:22:36,958 --> 00:22:38,307
they're going to be on the

1364
00:22:38,307 --> 00:22:39,244
february 17th meeting aks

1365
00:22:39,244 --> 00:22:39,724
ourselves, why wasn't it

1366
00:22:39,724 --> 00:22:40,963
street there are no crosswalks.

1367
00:22:40,963 --> 00:22:43,280
>> this city's not paying for a

1368
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:43,849
mentioned that in thirty more

1369
00:22:43,849 --> 00:22:43,901
new crosswalk at that location.

1370
00:22:43,901 --> 00:22:45,661
days we would have another

1371
00:22:45,661 --> 00:22:46,692
round of grant grant in front

1372
00:22:46,692 --> 00:22:47,458
>> where's the where's the

1373
00:22:47,458 --> 00:22:48,223
petition for one hundred

1374
00:22:48,223 --> 00:22:49,871
thousand dollars and that's a

1375
00:22:49,871 --> 00:22:51,806
of us by why wasn't that

1376
00:22:51,806 --> 00:22:52,746
low estimate for the cost of an

1377
00:22:52,746 --> 00:22:53,778
mentioned during that time?

1378
00:22:53,778 --> 00:22:54,110
>> nobody up here mentioned it

1379
00:22:54,110 --> 00:22:54,379
right.

1380
00:22:54,379 --> 00:22:55,301
active sidewalk.

1381
00:22:55,301 --> 00:22:56,839
the busses don't help either.

1382
00:22:56,839 --> 00:22:57,726
I know a lot of us we didn't

1383
00:22:57,726 --> 00:22:58,959
know that would have been the

1384
00:22:58,959 --> 00:23:01,324
why they're more than a block

1385
00:23:01,324 --> 00:23:02,295
perfect time to say hey by the

1386
00:23:02,295 --> 00:23:02,949
way, we are going to have

1387
00:23:02,949 --> 00:23:04,702
another round of grants in

1388
00:23:04,702 --> 00:23:08,302
front of you guys in thirty

1389
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:09,436
days that wasn't mentioned.

1390
00:23:09,436 --> 00:23:12,142
>> we can't ask questions about

1391
00:23:12,142 --> 00:23:12,685
things if we don't know they're

1392
00:23:12,685 --> 00:23:13,697
coming.

1393
00:23:13,697 --> 00:23:16,697
we can ask questions about

1394
00:23:16,989 --> 00:23:17,871
things because we don't get

1395
00:23:17,871 --> 00:23:19,417
these things into the wednesday

1396
00:23:19,417 --> 00:23:19,617
before.

1397
00:23:19,617 --> 00:23:19,895
away from this building there

1398
00:23:19,895 --> 00:23:20,364
right.

1399
00:23:20,364 --> 00:23:21,400
are two bus stops.

1400
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:21,393
we're not included in the grant

1401
00:23:21,393 --> 00:23:21,626
the sidewalks go up to merchant

1402
00:23:21,626 --> 00:23:22,844
drive.

1403
00:23:22,844 --> 00:23:23,788
they do not go towards the

1404
00:23:23,788 --> 00:23:24,290
intersection which is present

1405
00:23:24,290 --> 00:23:24,803
process until after the fact

1406
00:23:24,803 --> 00:23:25,649
and oftentimes it feels like

1407
00:23:25,649 --> 00:23:26,539
when asked who did they talk

1408
00:23:26,539 --> 00:23:27,702
to, kirkup said they spoke with

1409
00:23:27,702 --> 00:23:28,100
mr. Mundy and he objected.

1410
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:28,579
these things were bundled up

1411
00:23:28,579 --> 00:23:28,911
because two bikes amazing.

1412
00:23:28,911 --> 00:23:29,883
morris, who is an appellant in

1413
00:23:29,883 --> 00:23:31,314
this project or in this matter

1414
00:23:31,314 --> 00:23:32,189
but I'm amazed and I can agree

1415
00:23:32,189 --> 00:23:33,701
with all all the organizations

1416
00:23:33,701 --> 00:23:35,810
was not discussed with the

1417
00:23:35,810 --> 00:23:36,312
but not every organization.

1418
00:23:36,312 --> 00:23:36,594
all here is great and I have

1419
00:23:36,594 --> 00:23:37,573
checkmark on the form that they

1420
00:23:37,573 --> 00:23:39,990
intended to talk to people was

1421
00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:39,827
personal experience.

1422
00:23:39,827 --> 00:23:40,662
the community has experience

1423
00:23:40,662 --> 00:23:40,686
fulfilled by simply speaking to

1424
00:23:40,686 --> 00:23:42,850
and often times there's these

1425
00:23:42,850 --> 00:23:43,621
these silent private

1426
00:23:43,621 --> 00:23:44,448
conversations that we want to

1427
00:23:44,448 --> 00:23:45,571
one property owner next door.

1428
00:23:45,571 --> 00:23:46,523
we're talking about the I

1429
00:23:46,523 --> 00:23:47,671
have behind the scenes.

1430
00:23:47,671 --> 00:23:48,645
>> but when we get on front

1431
00:23:48,645 --> 00:23:48,788
street we don't want to have

1432
00:23:48,788 --> 00:23:51,235
believe system that they could

1433
00:23:51,235 --> 00:23:51,999
right in order for things to

1434
00:23:51,999 --> 00:23:52,374
change the same conversations

1435
00:23:52,374 --> 00:23:53,225
ignore communication with the

1436
00:23:53,225 --> 00:23:54,875
neighborhood they wanted to

1437
00:23:54,875 --> 00:23:55,858
and more conversations that

1438
00:23:55,858 --> 00:23:56,820
we're having, we need to be

1439
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:57,529
communicate after they had

1440
00:23:57,529 --> 00:23:58,281
able to have them in front

1441
00:23:58,281 --> 00:23:59,750
of the community and that's

1442
00:23:59,750 --> 00:24:00,318
going to that's going to create

1443
00:24:00,318 --> 00:24:01,435
already had this heard.

1444
00:24:01,435 --> 00:24:01,763
some type of uncomfort at

1445
00:24:01,763 --> 00:24:02,791
times.

1446
00:24:02,791 --> 00:24:03,266
but we have to understand that

1447
00:24:03,266 --> 00:24:03,653
this is a kind of conduct that

1448
00:24:03,653 --> 00:24:05,610
we have to have these

1449
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:07,469
conversations if you're

1450
00:24:07,469 --> 00:24:08,383
none of you should support.

1451
00:24:08,383 --> 00:24:09,608
this is the kind of conduct

1452
00:24:09,608 --> 00:24:10,375
thinking about the long term

1453
00:24:10,375 --> 00:24:11,355
impact and engaging with the

1454
00:24:11,355 --> 00:24:12,415
that causes neighborhoods to

1455
00:24:12,415 --> 00:24:13,490
believe that there are winners

1456
00:24:13,490 --> 00:24:13,935
youth and engaging with high

1457
00:24:13,935 --> 00:24:14,322
risk youth.

1458
00:24:14,322 --> 00:24:16,900
right.

1459
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:18,182
and losers and they are the

1460
00:24:18,182 --> 00:24:18,420
we have to do this the right

1461
00:24:18,420 --> 00:24:19,199
way.

1462
00:24:19,199 --> 00:24:19,337
losers.

1463
00:24:19,337 --> 00:24:21,305
we've been here the last

1464
00:24:21,305 --> 00:24:23,364
council has been and instead

1465
00:24:23,364 --> 00:24:25,201
it is this body's obligation,

1466
00:24:25,201 --> 00:24:25,842
of sitting everybody down not

1467
00:24:25,842 --> 00:24:26,351
attending the different

1468
00:24:26,351 --> 00:24:28,751
this body's obligation to

1469
00:24:29,833 --> 00:24:30,516
organizations against each

1470
00:24:30,516 --> 00:24:30,568
other and creating a real

1471
00:24:30,568 --> 00:24:31,282
refuse to allow for all

1472
00:24:31,282 --> 00:24:33,984
process that includes all the

1473
00:24:33,984 --> 00:24:34,351
great organization that are out

1474
00:24:34,351 --> 00:24:34,757
of these misconduct events.

1475
00:24:34,757 --> 00:24:35,353
here doing the work, we

1476
00:24:35,353 --> 00:24:36,739
there is no way there's

1477
00:24:36,739 --> 00:24:37,674
continue to pick and choose.

1478
00:24:37,674 --> 00:24:38,359
we continue to isolate the

1479
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:39,237
certificate of occupancy can be

1480
00:24:39,237 --> 00:24:40,593
issued without somebody in the

1481
00:24:40,593 --> 00:24:41,562
different organizations and not

1482
00:24:41,562 --> 00:24:42,846
include them in the process.

1483
00:24:42,846 --> 00:24:43,616
whole system knowing and I'm

1484
00:24:43,616 --> 00:24:44,613
not even talking about the

1485
00:24:44,613 --> 00:24:45,377
I was given the grant committee

1486
00:24:45,377 --> 00:24:46,995
which I definitely appreciate

1487
00:24:46,995 --> 00:24:47,348
effort to return the fees that

1488
00:24:47,348 --> 00:24:48,872
were paid.

next round.

1570
00:26:12,972 --> 00:26:13,867
but I do plan to support the

1571
00:26:13,867 --> 00:26:14,638
thank you mayor and city

1572
00:26:14,638 --> 00:26:16,789
council members for allowing me

1573
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:17,642
ones tonight because those

1574
00:26:17,642 --> 00:26:18,550
folks were following the

1575
00:26:18,550 --> 00:26:18,821
to speak and thank you to the

1576
00:26:18,821 --> 00:26:19,493
attendees who are here in

1577
00:26:19,493 --> 00:26:20,328
respect to this agenda item.

1578
00:26:20,328 --> 00:26:21,990
process whether we agree with

1579
00:26:21,990 --> 00:26:22,230
the process or not, these

1580
00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:23,970
I want to address the comments

1581
00:26:23,970 --> 00:26:24,940
by our opposition that this

1582
00:26:24,940 --> 00:26:25,640
nonprofits are following the

1583
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:25,673
process that the city had in

1584
00:26:25,673 --> 00:26:26,555
location is not suitable for

1585
00:26:26,555 --> 00:26:28,244
this use based on concerns for

1586
00:26:28,244 --> 00:26:29,321
place and I appreciate the

1587
00:26:29,321 --> 00:26:29,646
vehicular and pedestrian

1588
00:26:29,646 --> 00:26:30,648
safety.

1589
00:26:30,648 --> 00:26:32,320
this location is approximately

1590
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:32,801
concern about making more

1591
00:26:32,801 --> 00:26:34,149
effort for everybody to know

1592
00:26:34,149 --> 00:26:35,784
one hundred steps from a bus

1593
00:26:35,784 --> 00:26:36,809
about them.

1594
00:26:36,809 --> 00:26:37,432
I also run a nonprofit, you

1595
00:26:37,432 --> 00:26:38,800
stop on top of its proximity to

1596
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,800
public transportation.

1597
00:26:40,614 --> 00:26:41,324
know, unless we check a lot

1598
00:26:41,324 --> 00:26:41,488
we serve a transient population

1599
00:26:41,488 --> 00:26:42,603
of places we don't know what

1600
00:26:42,603 --> 00:26:44,171
who know how to navigate the

1601
00:26:44,171 --> 00:26:44,760
grants are being offered.

1602
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,677
situation.

1603
00:26:45,677 --> 00:26:46,652
>> our intention is to serve

1604
00:26:46,652 --> 00:26:47,296
those who are already in this

1605
00:26:47,296 --> 00:26:49,139
so I understand that concern

1606
00:26:49,139 --> 00:26:51,518
area the people who regularly

1607
00:26:51,518 --> 00:26:52,297
but I just was going to say

1608
00:26:52,297 --> 00:26:52,462
that I intend to support these

1609
00:26:52,462 --> 00:26:53,309
walk up and down these streets

1610
00:26:53,309 --> 00:26:54,567
through and around this

1611
00:26:54,567 --> 00:26:56,618
because these are worthwhile

1612
00:26:56,618 --> 00:26:57,697
property and who are receiving

1613
00:26:57,697 --> 00:26:58,586
limited to no help from this

1614
00:26:58,586 --> 00:26:59,767
organizations as are others who

1615
00:26:59,767 --> 00:26:59,999
did not get grants or did not

1616
00:26:59,999 --> 00:27:00,671
apply.

1617
00:27:00,671 --> 00:27:01,824
community.

1618
00:27:01,824 --> 00:27:03,330
I also want to briefly speak on

1619
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:04,410
but I don't want us to somehow

1620
00:27:04,410 --> 00:27:04,741
how capex will operate out this

1621
00:27:04,741 --> 00:27:05,853
building.

1622
00:27:05,853 --> 00:27:07,219
I hear continuous concerns and

1623
00:27:07,219 --> 00:27:09,140
not feel comfortable doing

1624
00:27:09,140 --> 00:27:10,210
statements that this will be a

1625
00:27:10,210 --> 00:27:11,212
homeless shelter or will turn

1626
00:27:11,212 --> 00:27:12,218
these findings.

1627
00:27:12,218 --> 00:27:12,900
is that somebody some of it

1628
00:27:12,900 --> 00:27:13,805
into a homeless camp.

1629
00:27:13,805 --> 00:27:15,205
this is not a correct

1630
00:27:15,205 --> 00:27:15,655
is a paperwork tom thing and it

1631
00:27:15,655 --> 00:27:16,483
should not happen.

1632
00:27:16,483 --> 00:27:16,819
description of this faith based

1633
00:27:16,819 --> 00:27:18,260
nonprofit.

1634
00:27:18,260 --> 00:27:18,719
this is a day center that

1635
00:27:18,719 --> 00:27:19,755
it should not happen.

1636
00:27:19,755 --> 00:27:20,902
but I don't want to punish

1637
00:27:20,902 --> 00:27:21,759
provides resources to help

1638
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:22,846
clients move forward from their

1639
00:27:22,846 --> 00:27:23,712
these people tonight for doing

1640
00:27:23,712 --> 00:27:23,723
current situation.

1641
00:27:23,723 --> 00:27:24,431
the process that the city laid

1642
00:27:24,431 --> 00:27:24,689
this facility will receive

1643
00:27:24,689 --> 00:27:27,276
out before it and it went

1644
00:27:27,276 --> 00:27:27,414
through the current grant

1645
00:27:27,414 --> 00:27:27,516
clients during the day on

1646
00:27:27,516 --> 00:27:28,373
process.

1647
00:27:28,373 --> 00:27:28,469
tuesdays, fridays and sundays

1648
00:27:28,469 --> 00:27:31,310
we may or may not like the

1649
00:27:31,310 --> 00:27:31,665
people that sit on the grant

1650
00:27:31,665 --> 00:27:31,782
and as staff primarily by

1651
00:27:31,782 --> 00:27:32,419
review committee but city

1652
00:27:32,419 --> 00:27:33,399
volunteers between four and

1653
00:27:33,399 --> 00:27:35,579
eight people in two full time

1654
00:27:35,579 --> 00:27:36,193
council has never had a part in

1655
00:27:36,193 --> 00:27:36,951
staff members we estimate a

1656
00:27:36,951 --> 00:27:38,459
maximum amount of twenty eight

1657
00:27:38,459 --> 00:27:38,908
being on knowing who the

1658
00:27:38,908 --> 00:27:40,245
evaluators were.

1659
00:27:40,245 --> 00:27:40,696
people inside the building at

1660
00:27:40,696 --> 00:27:42,310
any given time.

1661
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:43,315
that's up for discussion as

1662
00:27:43,315 --> 00:27:43,659
well, mr. Grant, if you want to

1663
00:27:43,659 --> 00:27:44,231
have that.

1664
00:27:44,231 --> 00:27:45,302
no individuals will stay the

1665
00:27:45,302 --> 00:27:46,921
night in the past ten years

1666
00:27:46,921 --> 00:27:47,919
but tonight I just plan to go

1667
00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:49,105

1669
00:27:49,557 --> 00:27:50,286
continue to evolve.

1674
00:27:53,980 --> 00:27:54,847

00:27:54,847 --> 00:27:55,760
grant cycles to take corrective

1676
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:55,845

we've already taken corrective

1680
00:27:58,674 --> 00:28:00,420
action and these grantees have

1681
00:28:00,420 --> 00:28:01,255
serve the large population

1682
00:28:01,255 --> 00:28:01,391

been done they qualify or meet

1686
00:28:04,767 --> 00:28:05,738
our intention clinton highway

1687
00:28:05,738 --> 00:28:06,440
the criteria for the state or

1688
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:06,611
is to act as a hub to reduce

1689
00:28:06,611 --> 00:28:09,318
the new block and all the

1690
00:28:09,318 --> 00:28:09,340
things so we're not waiting to

00:28:36,821 --> 00:28:36,881
we act as a safe and secure

1718
00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:39,640
can streamline I agree I'd

1719
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:39,792
mailing address for our clients

1720
00:28:39,792 --> 00:28:40,495
rather have all the grants you

1721
00:28:40,495 --> 00:28:40,663
haircuts, clean clothing and

1722
00:28:40,663 --> 00:28:41,581
are not spread out necessarily.

1723
00:28:41,581 --> 00:28:42,471
I think there's a lot

1724
00:28:42,471 --> 00:28:43,387
of suggestions that we can hear

1725
00:28:43,387 --> 00:28:44,233
laundry facilities are offered

1726
00:28:44,233 --> 00:28:44,756
to those in need.

1727
00:28:44,756 --> 00:28:45,224
from you all that can help us

1728
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:45,249
improve the process.

1729
00:28:45,249 --> 00:28:47,870
we refer to numerous community

1730
00:28:47,870 --> 00:28:48,135
I do hope you approve us

1731
00:28:48,135 --> 00:28:48,627
providers and partners who

1732
00:28:48,627 --> 00:28:48,994
tonight because our processes

1733
00:28:48,994 --> 00:28:51,809
insist with who assist with

1734
00:28:51,809 --> 00:28:52,276
may need improvements and

1735
00:28:52,276 --> 00:28:52,674
housing, mental health and

1736
00:28:52,674 --> 00:28:52,734
tweaking but you know these

1737
00:28:52,734 --> 00:28:54,734
substance abuse programs.

1738
00:28:56,650 --> 00:28:56,186
people have followed the rules

1739
00:28:56,186 --> 00:28:57,340
church services, bible studies

1740
00:28:57,340 --> 00:28:57,170
as we set forth and happened

1741
00:28:57,170 --> 00:28:59,395
and prayer services are held on

1742
00:28:59,395 --> 00:28:59,450
before many of you became, you

1743
00:28:59,450 --> 00:28:59,940
site and we offer a computer

1744
00:28:59,940 --> 00:29:00,124
know, joint council.

1745
00:29:00,124 --> 00:29:01,183
lab and phone services during

1746
00:29:01,183 --> 00:29:03,310
and so we want to hear your

1747
00:29:03,310 --> 00:29:04,183
the day along with a variety

1748
00:29:04,183 --> 00:29:04,419
of other ways to serve our own

1749
00:29:04,419 --> 00:29:06,419
house.

1750
00:29:07,242 --> 00:29:07,920
neighbors I would like to

1751
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,795
mention these services would be

1752
00:29:10,795 --> 00:29:11,873
allowed in the zoning without a

1753
00:29:11,873 --> 00:29:15,273
special use permit if we were

1754
00:29:15,273 --> 00:29:18,273
offering the same service to

1755
00:29:18,387 --> 00:29:19,126
people that were not labeled as

1756
00:29:19,126 --> 00:29:21,126
an housed place.

1757
00:29:21,237 --> 00:29:21,910
thoughts on how to keep

1758
00:29:21,910 --> 00:29:21,985
improving them on april

1759
00:29:21,985 --> 00:29:22,474
>> consider this for a moment.

1760
00:29:22,474 --> 00:29:23,360
twenty third and you know

1761
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:23,142
before that as well.

1762
00:29:23,142 --> 00:29:24,178
>> if I were to open an office

1763
00:29:24,178 --> 00:29:24,848
but I'll turn it back over to

1764
00:29:24,848 --> 00:29:25,546
council member health council

1765
00:29:25,546 --> 00:29:25,722
for someone to come apply for a

1766
00:29:25,722 --> 00:29:26,517
member parker thank you mayor.

1767
00:29:26,517 --> 00:29:27,253
birth certificate it would be

1768
00:29:27,253 --> 00:29:27,607
I did want to echo, um, some

1769
00:29:27,607 --> 00:29:28,394
allowed if I was to open a

1770
00:29:28,394 --> 00:29:29,456
issues raised by councilman

1771
00:29:29,456 --> 00:29:30,296
grant because I was also at

1772
00:29:30,296 --> 00:29:30,395
laundromat for someone to do

1773
00:29:30,395 --> 00:29:30,980
that audit committee meeting

1774
00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:31,566
their laundry it would be

1775
00:29:31,566 --> 00:29:33,648
and not only concerned about

1776
00:29:33,648 --> 00:29:34,184
the findings in the audit but

1777
00:29:34,184 --> 00:29:34,824
allowed if I was to open a hair

1778
00:29:34,824 --> 00:29:34,855
the discussion around the type

1779
00:29:34,855 --> 00:29:37,855
salon it would be allowed.

1780
00:29:38,187 --> 00:29:38,537
I am here today because by

1781
00:29:38,537 --> 00:29:41,592
of culture that we need to

1782
00:29:41,592 --> 00:29:42,333
definition a social service

1783
00:29:42,333 --> 00:29:44,333
center explicitly defines

1784
00:29:45,270 --> 00:29:45,927
build in our city to address

1785
00:29:45,927 --> 00:29:46,481
people transitioning from

1786
00:29:46,481 --> 00:29:48,481
homelessness and therefore

1787
00:29:48,763 --> 00:29:48,880
triggers special use review

1788
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,289
these issues and it wasn't just

1789
00:29:49,289 --> 00:29:49,938
sound.

1790
00:29:49,938 --> 00:29:50,218
about having new policies in

1791
00:29:50,218 --> 00:29:53,186
this definition comes with a

1792
00:29:53,186 --> 00:29:53,430
certain stigma attached to it

1793
00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:56,430
place but about the willingness

1794
00:29:56,683 --> 00:29:56,926
if that is not a pure form

1795
00:29:56,926 --> 00:29:57,951
to truly be transparent about

1796
00:29:57,951 --> 00:29:58,110
of discrimination I do not know

1797
00:29:58,110 --> 00:30:00,716
those policies and even in that

1798
00:30:00,716 --> 00:30:01,651
what is.

1799
00:30:01,651 --> 00:30:01,814
the people we serve in our

1800
00:30:01,814 --> 00:30:04,437
meeting, you know, when we were

1801
00:30:04,437 --> 00:30:05,169
community are often in the

1802
00:30:05,169 --> 00:30:05,802
throes of the loneliest,

1803
00:30:05,802 --> 00:30:08,765
discussing, um, you know, the

1804
00:30:08,765 --> 00:30:08,771
hardest points in their life.

1805
00:30:08,771 --> 00:30:09,480
city's current policies around

1806
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:09,735
some struggle with addiction,

1807
00:30:09,735 --> 00:30:10,334
grants for nonprofits and

1808
00:30:10,334 --> 00:30:11,890
some struggle with mental

1809
00:30:11,890 --> 00:30:12,823
illness.

1810
00:30:12,823 --> 00:30:13,816
some may have missed a paycheck

1811
00:30:13,816 --> 00:30:15,973
and lost their place to live

1812
00:30:15,973 --> 00:30:16,310
whether you know, the cash app

1813
00:30:16,310 --> 00:30:16,943
but these are human beings.

1814
00:30:16,943 --> 00:30:19,954
could be used as a payment,

1815
00:30:19,954 --> 00:30:20,520
the reality is homelessness

1816
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,290
those policies are not, you

1817
00:30:21,290 --> 00:30:24,400
doesn't just exist within a one

1818
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:24,800
know, given over immediately

1819
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:24,766
block radius of salvation army

1820
00:30:24,766 --> 00:30:25,187
or other service providers.

1821
00:30:25,187 --> 00:30:28,160
and that was raised as a

1822
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:28,296
concern of the auditors.

1823
00:30:28,296 --> 00:30:28,954
the reality is that it affects

1824
00:30:28,954 --> 00:30:31,741
every part of our community

1825
00:30:31,741 --> 00:30:31,911
including clinton highway.

1826
00:30:31,911 --> 00:30:32,563
we must get to a point to

1827
00:30:32,563 --> 00:30:33,438
none of our opposition denied

1828
00:30:33,438 --> 00:30:35,919
that there was a large

1829
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:36,342
councilman grant's point where

1830
00:30:36,342 --> 00:30:36,697
population one house already in

1831
00:30:36,697 --> 00:30:37,960
we can discuss these issues

1832
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,484
that area limiting resources

1833
00:30:39,484 --> 00:30:40,109
and outlying areas because of a

1834
00:30:40,109 --> 00:30:41,520
openly and transparent and have

1835
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,763
a clear understanding of what

1836
00:30:42,763 --> 00:30:43,291
not in my backyard mindset

1837
00:30:43,291 --> 00:30:44,438
is illogical.

1838
00:30:44,438 --> 00:30:44,539
the only way to help this

1839
00:30:44,539 --> 00:30:47,225
policies we have in place for

1840
00:30:47,225 --> 00:30:47,438
these, uh, grants and how

1841
00:30:47,438 --> 00:30:48,119
situation is to meet those

1842
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:50,519
experiencing the struggle where

1843
00:30:51,405 --> 00:30:51,415
they are both in location and

1844
00:30:51,415 --> 00:30:52,308
different organizations are

1845
00:30:52,308 --> 00:30:54,787
learning about them or how much

1846
00:30:54,787 --> 00:30:55,808
by creating trust.

1847
00:30:55,808 --> 00:30:56,220
>> this opposition is built on

1848
00:30:56,220 --> 00:30:56,663
notice are they given is at the

1849
00:30:56,663 --> 00:30:57,281
fear, fear of the attraction

1850
00:30:57,281 --> 00:30:59,280
same time of year every year

1851
00:30:59,280 --> 00:30:59,553
and increasing the already

1852
00:30:59,553 --> 00:30:59,688
that the grants are made

1853
00:30:59,688 --> 00:30:59,786
existing problem doing nothing

1854
00:30:59,786 --> 00:31:01,786
available?

1855
00:31:03,620 --> 00:31:03,222
because we are fearful is not

1856
00:31:03,222 --> 00:31:04,194
I still have questions around

1857
00:31:04,194 --> 00:31:05,846
those and uh I believe those

1858
00:31:05,846 --> 00:31:06,719
the right approach limiting

1859
00:31:06,719 --> 00:31:07,568
outreach efforts will result in

1860
00:31:07,568 --> 00:31:07,802
are concerns but that should be

1861
00:31:07,802 --> 00:31:09,592
addressed.

1862
00:31:09,592 --> 00:31:10,544
watching the existing situation

1863
00:31:10,544 --> 00:31:10,850
multiply as a community we

1864
00:31:10,850 --> 00:31:12,270
>> I also had another question

1865
00:31:12,270 --> 00:31:14,370
about how the funds can be used

1866
00:31:14,370 --> 00:31:15,000
should not fear adding humane

1867
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,116
thing by taking care of our

1868
00:31:15,116 --> 00:31:16,850
and this is a question raised

1869
00:31:16,850 --> 00:31:17,789
at the budget retreat but I

1870
00:31:17,789 --> 00:31:18,546
underserved and unhealthy

1871
00:31:18,546 --> 00:31:19,171
neighbors especially when those

1872
00:31:19,171 --> 00:31:19,512
still have not had answer to

1873
00:31:19,512 --> 00:31:21,512
it.

1874
00:31:21,836 --> 00:31:22,179
caring for them have decade

1875
00:31:22,179 --> 00:31:22,785
of experience.

1876
00:31:22,785 --> 00:31:22,981
but I'm concerned about this uh

1877
00:31:22,981 --> 00:31:23,631
a multitude of community

1878
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:25,631
, identifier for opportunity

1879
00:31:25,775 --> 00:31:26,422
support and partnership and

1880
00:31:26,422 --> 00:31:26,761
countless success stories

1881
00:31:26,761 --> 00:31:28,761
behind them.

1882
00:31:29,886 --> 00:31:30,720
youth that uh says must must be

1883
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:30,947
I will not ask my friends to

1884
00:31:30,947 --> 00:31:31,487
a member of or associated with

1885
00:31:31,487 --> 00:31:33,675
stand out of privacy that are

1886
00:31:33,675 --> 00:31:34,240
here today but I have many here

1887
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:34,547
an active crew group or gang.

1888
00:31:34,547 --> 00:31:37,336
and support that clearcuts has

1889
00:31:37,336 --> 00:31:38,202
helped move forward from

1890
00:31:38,202 --> 00:31:38,202
and for me that can mean so

1891
00:31:38,202 --> 00:31:38,648
homelessness while so many see

1892
00:31:38,648 --> 00:31:40,648
many things.

1893
00:31:41,401 --> 00:31:41,909
fear let's change our mindset

1894
00:31:41,909 --> 00:31:42,990
I'm hoping to get a clarity

1895
00:31:42,990 --> 00:31:44,779
from the city on how you are

1896
00:31:44,779 --> 00:31:45,811
to see opportunity.

1897
00:31:45,811 --> 00:31:46,570
>> let's change our actions to

1898
00:31:46,570 --> 00:31:49,202
defining an active group or

1899
00:31:49,202 --> 00:31:49,748
alter the course of another

1900
00:31:49,748 --> 00:31:50,178
human being's life.

1901
00:31:50,178 --> 00:31:52,578
gang member buuck yeah.

1902
00:31:52,683 --> 00:31:53,200
thank you for your time

1903
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:53,951
attention.

1904
00:31:53,951 --> 00:31:54,318
I respectfully request that you

1905
00:31:54,318 --> 00:31:55,194
and I think law enforcement

1906
00:31:55,194 --> 00:31:56,160
partners can give a little more

1907
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:56,750
deny this appeal and hold

1908
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:58,170
knoxville knox county's

1909
00:31:58,170 --> 00:31:58,919
definition around the

1910
00:31:58,919 --> 00:31:59,790
definition of the firm

1911
00:31:59,790 --> 00:32:02,577
definition of a crew for gang

1912
00:32:02,577 --> 00:32:03,584
but I want to clarify that that

1913
00:32:03,584 --> 00:32:05,700
unanimous decision of support

1914
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:05,710
is not a requirement for

1915
00:32:05,710 --> 00:32:06,380
identification as an

1916
00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:07,983
opportunity you have there are

1917
00:32:07,983 --> 00:32:08,686
greeting.

1918
00:32:08,686 --> 00:32:09,610
I'm chuck sarnie.

1919
00:32:09,610 --> 00:32:09,709
several indicators that can be

1920
00:32:09,709 --> 00:32:09,714
I'm a knox county general

1921
00:32:09,714 --> 00:32:09,958
indicators for opportunity

1922
00:32:09,958 --> 00:32:11,958
youth.

1923
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,125

their car with a crew group or

1927
00:32:15,891 --> 00:32:16,604
county.

1928
00:32:16,604 --> 00:32:17,742
I started the veterans

1929
00:32:17,742 --> 00:32:19,614
gang in some folks self

1930
00:32:19,614 --> 00:32:20,676
treatment court and I recently

1931
00:32:20,676 --> 00:32:20,833
started with the help of other

1932
00:32:20,833 --> 00:32:21,899
identify that way another

1933
00:32:21,899 --> 00:32:23,251
is disconnection from school or

1934
00:32:23,251 --> 00:32:23,909
stakeholders our mental health

1935
00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:25,899
court in knox county.

1936
00:32:25,899 --> 00:32:26,953
work having been a crime victim

1937
00:32:26,953 --> 00:32:28,350
let me take a second to say

1938
00:32:28,350 --> 00:32:29,898
howdy to so many friends that I

1939
00:32:29,898 --> 00:32:30,662
or I'm a family friend and so

1940
00:32:30,662 --> 00:32:31,346
it's only one indicator but

1941
00:32:31,346 --> 00:32:32,333
have known on this and say how

1942
00:32:32,333 --> 00:32:33,247
even to the folks who are

1943
00:32:33,247 --> 00:32:34,300
I'll pass off to thank you to

1944
00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:35,624
just because I have limited

1945
00:32:35,624 --> 00:32:36,194
opposing mr. Hamilton's been a

1946
00:32:36,194 --> 00:32:36,410
time chief.

1947
00:32:36,410 --> 00:32:39,859
good friend for a long time.

1948
00:32:39,859 --> 00:32:40,373
he's a nice fellow but I think

1949
00:32:40,373 --> 00:32:40,949
well could you speak to how law

1950
00:32:40,949 --> 00:32:42,949
enforcement defines those

1951
00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:46,898
things if or I apologize could

1952
00:32:46,898 --> 00:32:47,136
he's wrong.

1953
00:32:47,136 --> 00:32:48,211
you repeat the question how do

1954
00:32:48,211 --> 00:32:50,340
you define an active crew group

1955
00:32:50,340 --> 00:32:50,994
you know, the people that mr.

1956
00:32:50,994 --> 00:32:51,900
hamilton might potentially

1957
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:54,374
or gang so how we define a gang

1958
00:32:54,374 --> 00:32:54,900
rotten over with his car.

1959
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:55,867
as a group of people that are

1960
00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:56,728
operate together to commit to

1961
00:32:56,728 --> 00:32:58,322
commit crimes or engage in

1962
00:32:58,322 --> 00:32:59,638
they're out there already.

1963
00:32:59,638 --> 00:33:02,650
criminal activity and what's an

1964
00:33:02,650 --> 00:33:02,398
there are unannounced neighbors

1965
00:33:02,398 --> 00:33:02,727
.

1966
00:33:02,727 --> 00:33:03,487
active group, a group of people

1967
00:33:03,487 --> 00:33:05,887
who collectively work together

1968
00:33:06,371 --> 00:33:06,699
they're there to be honest with

1969
00:33:06,699 --> 00:33:07,100
you.

1970
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:07,461
a crew, a crew gang it's always

1971
00:33:07,461 --> 00:33:07,825
the same thing.

1972
00:33:07,825 --> 00:33:08,572
I might run over one of them

1973
00:33:08,572 --> 00:33:10,516
it's a group of people who

1974
00:33:10,516 --> 00:33:11,362
and I had to my house and I'm

1975
00:33:11,362 --> 00:33:12,237
collectively work together to

1976
00:33:12,237 --> 00:33:14,160
commit a criminal act criminal

1977
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,830
really sorry about that but I

1978
00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:15,128
don't think we're going to be

1979
00:33:15,128 --> 00:33:17,879
activity so that the the group

1980
00:33:17,879 --> 00:33:21,278
able to chase these folks by

1981
00:33:21,278 --> 00:33:22,400
doing something at coney island

1982
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,604
are gang what have been found

1983
00:33:25,789 --> 00:33:26,929
criminally connected to a crime

1984
00:33:26,929 --> 00:33:29,913
that actual gang will be

1985
00:33:29,913 --> 00:33:33,830
connected to a crime in our

1986
00:33:33,830 --> 00:33:33,881
city.

1987
00:33:33,881 --> 00:33:35,881
for what purpose?

1988
00:33:37,390 --> 00:33:37,997
I don't understand what you're

1989
00:33:37,997 --> 00:33:38,983
asking for the purpose of this

1990
00:33:38,983 --> 00:33:41,884
grant program but also for a

1991
00:33:41,884 --> 00:33:42,658
project see we are p.l.c. Has

1992
00:33:42,658 --> 00:33:43,706
and punitive to force them to

1993
00:33:43,706 --> 00:33:44,957
relocate to somewhere else the

1994
00:33:44,957 --> 00:33:45,377
way to help folks who are

1995
00:33:45,377 --> 00:33:45,611
nothing to do with gang

1996
00:33:45,611 --> 00:33:46,392
experiencing homelessness is to

1997
00:33:46,392 --> 00:33:47,366
take one human being who has

1998
00:33:47,366 --> 00:33:48,336
dignity and worth and help them

1999
00:33:48,336 --> 00:33:49,577
not be homeless.

2000
00:33:49,577 --> 00:33:49,681
and once you do that then you

2001
00:33:49,681 --> 00:33:50,363
activity for I will follow up

2002
00:33:50,363 --> 00:33:50,555
have the opportunity to try and

2003
00:33:50,555 --> 00:33:51,110
with you with the budget

2004
00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:53,270
repeat the experiment.

2005
00:33:53,270 --> 00:33:53,528
I don't want to admit this but

2006
00:33:53,528 --> 00:33:54,423
retreat conversation that's

2007
00:33:54,423 --> 00:33:55,225
when this first came up was

2008
00:33:55,225 --> 00:33:56,190
I guess I have to I don't think

2009
00:33:56,190 --> 00:33:57,424
I have the compassion to

2010
00:33:57,424 --> 00:33:59,579
around discussion of project

2011
00:33:59,579 --> 00:34:00,363
actually interact with a human

2012
00:34:00,363 --> 00:34:01,238
being who might scare me a

2013
00:34:01,238 --> 00:34:03,152
zones and the um discussion

2014
00:34:03,152 --> 00:34:04,100
little bit, who might be

2015
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:04,623
suffering from homelessness or

2016
00:34:04,623 --> 00:34:07,405
of uh how these opportunity

2017
00:34:07,405 --> 00:34:08,122
addiction or mental illness.

2018
00:34:08,122 --> 00:34:09,196
youth were being identified and

2019
00:34:09,196 --> 00:34:11,787
in our grant packet we have

2020
00:34:11,787 --> 00:34:12,571
but I know who has that kind

2021
00:34:12,571 --> 00:34:12,669
this definition of a member

2022
00:34:12,669 --> 00:34:13,525
of compassion and who has done

2023
00:34:13,525 --> 00:34:14,637
of our associate it with an

2024
00:34:14,637 --> 00:34:16,514
it multiple times martillo

2025
00:34:16,514 --> 00:34:17,730
active crew group or gang tlc.

2026
00:34:17,730 --> 00:34:19,753
the tlc is a place we play

2027
00:34:19,753 --> 00:34:21,340
rubeo, the leader of care cuts

2028
00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:21,696
space strategy b may be able to

2029
00:34:21,696 --> 00:34:22,339
confuse with some of the

2030
00:34:22,339 --> 00:34:22,950
and I know that those wonderful

2031
00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:23,310
nomenclature here but tlc is a

2032
00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:23,697
volunteers that care cuts have

2033
00:34:23,697 --> 00:34:25,697
place based strategy.

2034
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:27,142
helped lots of people not be

2035
00:34:27,142 --> 00:34:28,121
it is nothing to do with

2036
00:34:28,121 --> 00:34:28,877
individual gangs or conduct an

2037
00:34:28,877 --> 00:34:29,892
individual gang members to

2038
00:34:29,892 --> 00:34:30,863
homeless any longer, including

2039
00:34:30,863 --> 00:34:31,453
but not limited to helping them

2040
00:34:31,453 --> 00:34:32,477
crimes.

2041
00:34:32,477 --> 00:34:33,607
ok, thank you miss parker.

2042
00:34:33,607 --> 00:34:34,357

00:34:34,357 --> 00:34:35,230
get cleaned up haircut, helping

2044
00:34:35,230 --> 00:34:35,166
them get their driver's

2045
00:34:35,166 --> 00:34:36,306
colleagues.

2046
00:34:36,306 --> 00:34:36,648
lights are on and can come back

2047
00:34:36,648 --> 00:34:37,932
to you.

2048
00:34:37,932 --> 00:34:39,890
licenses and birth certificates

2049
00:34:39,890 --> 00:34:39,116
yeah my my time is up but I

2050
00:34:39,116 --> 00:34:40,590
so they can get jobs so they

2051
00:34:40,590 --> 00:34:42,739
just need an answer to the

2052
00:34:42,739 --> 00:34:43,760
can get housing the way we need

2053
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:44,275
question um and it doesn't have

2054
00:34:44,275 --> 00:34:46,226
to happen at this time if it

2055
00:34:46,226 --> 00:34:46,232
is simply a group

2056
00:34:46,232 --> 00:34:46,971
to help this problem is help

2057
00:34:46,971 --> 00:34:47,322
of individuals engaged in

2058
00:34:47,322 --> 00:34:47,404
criminal activity.

2059
00:34:47,404 --> 00:34:50,584
one person who has dignity and

2060
00:34:50,584 --> 00:34:51,667
we're and then repeat that

2061
00:34:51,667 --> 00:34:52,342
my next question would be

2062
00:34:52,342 --> 00:34:53,971
is how do you know they're

2063
00:34:53,971 --> 00:34:55,238
experiment.

2064
00:34:55,238 --> 00:34:56,152
engaged in criminal activity?

2065
00:34:56,152 --> 00:34:56,383
they've been convicted of a

2066
00:34:56,383 --> 00:34:56,883
crime.

2067
00:34:56,883 --> 00:34:57,202
thank you.

2068
00:34:57,202 --> 00:34:57,709

the past and they're going to

2072
00:34:59,340 --> 00:35:00,900
and just as of just a point

2073
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:01,410
of information, as miss

2074
00:35:01,410 --> 00:35:02,168

2076
00:35:02,777 --> 00:35:05,777
middlebrook said, that is not

2077
00:35:05,966 --> 00:35:06,429
marty baker is one of the most

2078
00:35:06,429 --> 00:35:07,574
unselfish and compassionate

2079
00:35:07,574 --> 00:35:08,731
the only factor in how they

2080
00:35:08,731 --> 00:35:09,315
decide how to which is the item

2081
00:35:09,315 --> 00:35:10,241
persons I have ever had.

2082
00:35:10,241 --> 00:35:11,400
she has the support of law

2083
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:11,120
enforcement in this community

2084
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:11,245
before the grants to help these

2085
00:35:11,245 --> 00:35:13,245
youth.

2086
00:35:14,102 --> 00:35:14,787
as a chief and she has the

2087
00:35:14,787 --> 00:35:14,856
ok, so I think council member

2088
00:35:14,856 --> 00:35:15,247
support of many other

2089
00:35:15,247 --> 00:35:17,247
housley was next.

2090
00:35:17,644 --> 00:35:17,987
nonprofits and agencies across

2091
00:35:17,987 --> 00:35:18,572
this city.

2092
00:35:18,572 --> 00:35:19,119
did you council member adams

2093
00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:21,709
I'm proud to say that our

2094
00:35:21,709 --> 00:35:22,157
mental health court which I

2095
00:35:22,157 --> 00:35:24,157
thanks.

2096
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:24,996
started has worked with

2097
00:35:24,996 --> 00:35:25,839
uh, I wanted to speak to

2098
00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:28,239
councilman grant's um comments

2099
00:35:29,814 --> 00:35:30,457
haircuts and some of our folks

2100
00:35:30,457 --> 00:35:30,690
mainly about the idea that we

2101
00:35:30,690 --> 00:35:31,456
are doing so out there even

2102
00:35:31,456 --> 00:35:33,211
volunteering a care cuts to

2103
00:35:33,211 --> 00:35:33,952
help homeless participants in

2104
00:35:33,952 --> 00:35:36,597
expected not to see any more

2105
00:35:36,597 --> 00:35:37,156
the mental health court.

2106
00:35:37,156 --> 00:35:37,505
grants come before us until a

2107
00:35:37,505 --> 00:35:38,137
listen, don't make this

2108
00:35:38,137 --> 00:35:38,472
much later date which we were

2109
00:35:38,472 --> 00:35:38,808
decision based on the fact that

2110
00:35:38,808 --> 00:35:41,808
told at that february meeting.

2111
00:35:41,856 --> 00:35:43,280
um, seeing what has happened

2112
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,248
already such a sweetheart do

2113
00:35:44,248 --> 00:35:45,185
this because allowed care cuts

2114
00:35:45,185 --> 00:35:46,154
since then to now I think there

2115
00:35:46,154 --> 00:35:47,849
have been this is the third

2116
00:35:47,849 --> 00:35:48,322
to use this facility in the way

2117
00:35:48,322 --> 00:35:48,650
round of grants that we've seen

2118
00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:49,787
.

2119
00:35:49,787 --> 00:35:50,945
so I'm left to assume that my

2120
00:35:50,945 --> 00:35:52,134
that they're planning because

2121
00:35:52,134 --> 00:35:52,686
care cuts will help the un has

2122
00:35:52,686 --> 00:35:54,907
question and comment at that

2123
00:35:54,907 --> 00:35:55,832
to find housing.

2124
00:35:55,832 --> 00:35:56,304
they'll help the unemployed to

2125
00:35:56,304 --> 00:35:57,261
point was about that specific I

2126
00:35:57,261 --> 00:35:59,520
cannot remember the name of it

2127
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,154
get jobs and care cuts will

2128
00:36:00,154 --> 00:36:00,919
at this point but that specific

2129
00:36:00,919 --> 00:36:03,319
opportunity and not the

2130
00:36:03,421 --> 00:36:04,162
make this area safer, better,

2131
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:04,302
more compassionate for

2132
00:36:04,302 --> 00:36:05,183
successive ones I'm agreeing

2133
00:36:05,183 --> 00:36:05,822
with you in the sense that

2134
00:36:05,822 --> 00:36:07,535
there are multiple

2135
00:36:07,535 --> 00:36:08,699
everybody in the community.

2136
00:36:08,699 --> 00:36:09,563
opportunities that it gets very

2137
00:36:09,563 --> 00:36:10,285
confusing in terms of how much

2138
00:36:10,285 --> 00:36:12,671
it's the right thing to do.

2139
00:36:12,671 --> 00:36:13,280
money has an allocated to a

2140
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,280
particular entity.

2141
00:36:15,668 --> 00:36:16,580
thank you for listening to me.

2142
00:36:16,580 --> 00:36:16,175
when are the opportunities,

2143
00:36:16,175 --> 00:36:16,917
thank you.

2144
00:36:16,917 --> 00:36:17,200
when will there be future

2145
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:17,151
ben mallon's 550 west rain

2146
00:36:17,151 --> 00:36:17,236
opportunities?

2147
00:36:17,236 --> 00:36:18,333
street.

2148
00:36:18,333 --> 00:36:19,148
I represent carrycot.

2149
00:36:19,148 --> 00:36:19,505
there's no procedural defects

2150
00:36:19,505 --> 00:36:20,604
in this.

2151
00:36:20,604 --> 00:36:22,237
and I think that I would like

2152
00:36:22,237 --> 00:36:22,991
the owner on the application

2153
00:36:22,991 --> 00:36:23,200
the planning staff requires

2154
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:23,936
to make a request now for our

2155
00:36:23,936 --> 00:36:26,336
april twenty third workshop

2156
00:36:27,117 --> 00:36:27,542
owners on every application he

2157
00:36:27,542 --> 00:36:28,194
that is focused on grants if it

2158
00:36:28,194 --> 00:36:28,708
so he started the design center

2159
00:36:28,708 --> 00:36:30,281
is at all possible to have a

2160
00:36:30,281 --> 00:36:31,149
of table five point to design

2161
00:36:31,149 --> 00:36:31,904
standards that he cited apply

2162
00:36:31,904 --> 00:36:32,867
calendar that tells us or a

2163
00:36:32,867 --> 00:36:34,857
little bit of course all of the

2164
00:36:34,857 --> 00:36:35,444
to a different zone.

2165
00:36:35,444 --> 00:36:35,898
opportunities that become

2166
00:36:35,898 --> 00:36:36,214
they apply to the two zoni

2167
00:36:36,214 --> 00:36:36,664
available to help us navigate

2168
00:36:36,664 --> 00:36:37,843
which is different this one

2169
00:36:37,843 --> 00:36:38,709
zoning there's different design

2170
00:36:38,709 --> 00:36:39,207
standards that's that was just

2171
00:36:39,207 --> 00:36:40,294
this I feel like that that

2172
00:36:40,294 --> 00:36:42,312
would be a good tool to have

2173
00:36:42,312 --> 00:36:42,558
inaccurate quote there's been a

2174
00:36:42,558 --> 00:36:43,830
one other thing and this

2175
00:36:43,830 --> 00:36:43,420
lot of talk about this not

2176
00:36:43,420 --> 00:36:45,440
is because of what mr. Robinson

2177
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,564
being you.

2178
00:36:46,564 --> 00:36:46,820
it's been auto centric area and

2179
00:36:46,820 --> 00:36:48,468
said who spoke not against but

2180
00:36:48,468 --> 00:36:49,335
a person of industry, an area

2181
00:36:49,335 --> 00:36:50,700
when this new zoning ordinance

2182
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:52,584
was adopted in twenty twenty

2183
00:36:52,584 --> 00:36:53,351
there are only two zones was

2184
00:36:53,351 --> 00:36:54,600
allowed in the social services

2185
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:54,812
and that is to help alert the

2186
00:36:54,812 --> 00:36:56,427
the non-profits and the

2187
00:36:56,427 --> 00:36:57,489
s.h. One an institutional from

2188
00:36:57,489 --> 00:36:57,495
so from the very beginning it

2189
00:36:57,495 --> 00:36:58,152
agencies that can be eligible

2190
00:36:58,152 --> 00:37:00,152
for these opportunities.

2191
00:37:00,254 --> 00:37:01,216
was allowed for specifically

2192
00:37:01,216 --> 00:37:01,611
called for in the highway

2193
00:37:01,611 --> 00:37:02,600
there are probably many easy

2194
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,310
ways like a quick text alert

2195
00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:05,931
commercial zone but beside the

2196
00:37:05,931 --> 00:37:05,996
fact I said some pictures today

2197
00:37:05,996 --> 00:37:06,710
like this coming in if you are

2198
00:37:06,710 --> 00:37:06,875
this is one hundred and seventy

2199
00:37:06,875 --> 00:37:08,667
an interested entity to be on

2200
00:37:08,667 --> 00:37:09,227
feet away from where the

2201
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:09,985
sidewalk currently ends.

2202
00:37:09,985 --> 00:37:10,781
that list, you get your your

2203
00:37:10,781 --> 00:37:11,551
phone in there and it's an

2204
00:37:11,551 --> 00:37:12,771
it's there at the bus station.

2205
00:37:12,771 --> 00:37:13,795
we are leasing that space from

2206
00:37:13,795 --> 00:37:14,672
alert not just an email but you

2207
00:37:14,672 --> 00:37:15,138
have to go but a push

2208
00:37:15,138 --> 00:37:15,945
technology that is sending

2209
00:37:15,945 --> 00:37:16,506
bob monday there are

2210
00:37:16,506 --> 00:37:17,407
twenty parking spaces that

2211
00:37:17,407 --> 00:37:17,858
something there so people are

2212
00:37:17,858 --> 00:37:18,884
more aware.

2213
00:37:18,884 --> 00:37:19,862
I think those are the kinds

2214
00:37:19,862 --> 00:37:19,897
of things that we do have the

2215
00:37:19,897 --> 00:37:20,664
lease was submitted you know

2216
00:37:20,664 --> 00:37:21,230
through peter errands to the

2217
00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:21,625
law department.

2218
00:37:21,625 --> 00:37:22,764
opportunity for.

2219
00:37:22,764 --> 00:37:23,247
I just wanted to speak to your

2220
00:37:23,247 --> 00:37:24,230
that's not part of the special

2221
00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:25,553
use application but we do have

2222
00:37:25,553 --> 00:37:26,370
concern council member adams.

2223
00:37:26,370 --> 00:37:27,125
I've got good news.

2224
00:37:27,125 --> 00:37:27,184
the parking that's required

2225
00:37:27,184 --> 00:37:28,194
the grant calendar is already

2226
00:37:28,194 --> 00:37:29,755
there and I understand I spoke

2227
00:37:29,755 --> 00:37:30,577
on our website right now.

2228
00:37:30,577 --> 00:37:30,985
you can google city

2229
00:37:30,985 --> 00:37:31,105
to director brooks this morning

2230
00:37:31,105 --> 00:37:31,860
of knoxville grant

2231
00:37:31,860 --> 00:37:32,842
that there is contemplated

2232
00:37:32,842 --> 00:37:33,465
future sidewalks in this area

2233
00:37:33,465 --> 00:37:34,403
opportunities.

2234
00:37:34,403 --> 00:37:35,172
it lists all the grants through

2235
00:37:35,172 --> 00:37:35,229
all the different departments

2236
00:37:35,229 --> 00:37:37,361
so that meets the the

2237
00:37:37,361 --> 00:37:37,529
and we do our best to get these

2238
00:37:37,529 --> 00:37:37,602
requirements to make it talked

2239
00:37:37,602 --> 00:37:39,602
out.

2240
00:37:40,651 --> 00:37:41,905
there's a lot of channels, a

2241
00:37:41,905 --> 00:37:42,345
lot of noise, a lot of slop out

2242
00:37:42,345 --> 00:37:43,310
about those vacant shopping

2243
00:37:43,310 --> 00:37:44,674
center and what staff was

2244
00:37:44,674 --> 00:37:45,246
there and sometimes just gets

2245
00:37:45,246 --> 00:37:46,203
lost in the shuffle.

2246
00:37:46,203 --> 00:37:46,262
really saying is this this

2247
00:37:46,262 --> 00:37:47,540
but council members could be

2248
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:47,709
is an infill location because

2249
00:37:47,709 --> 00:37:49,258
this bank has been

2250
00:37:49,258 --> 00:37:49,995
great, you know, to amplify

2251
00:37:49,995 --> 00:37:50,994
underutilized for years and now

2252
00:37:50,994 --> 00:37:52,434
it can be put to good use

2253
00:37:52,434 --> 00:37:53,176
those messages.

2254
00:37:53,176 --> 00:37:53,706
instead of a greenfield

2255
00:37:53,706 --> 00:37:53,779
development.

2256
00:37:53,779 --> 00:37:54,649
we get them to you and then you

2257
00:37:54,649 --> 00:37:54,664
and that was what was called

2258
00:37:54,664 --> 00:37:56,126
get them out and that's nine

2259
00:37:56,126 --> 00:37:56,372
more ways to hear those voices

2260
00:37:56,372 --> 00:37:57,137
heard.

2261
00:37:57,137 --> 00:37:57,416
out in policy eight point one

2262
00:37:57,416 --> 00:37:57,804
but we do have a calendar it

2263
00:37:57,804 --> 00:37:59,230
of the general plan.

2264
00:37:59,230 --> 00:37:59,906
>> I know this is the boring

2265
00:37:59,906 --> 00:38:02,318
is on also on our website we'll

2266
00:38:02,318 --> 00:38:03,383
stuff but I need to get out in

2267
00:38:03,383 --> 00:38:03,718
the record, make sure that that

2268
00:38:03,718 --> 00:38:04,597
send we also send news releases

2269
00:38:04,597 --> 00:38:05,444
to the media and anyone who

2270
00:38:05,444 --> 00:38:05,570
you we make it clear that

2271
00:38:05,570 --> 00:38:06,118
gets our news releases is aware

2272
00:38:06,118 --> 00:38:07,735
planning staff did this right.

2273
00:38:07,735 --> 00:38:08,702
of every grant opportunity in

2274
00:38:08,702 --> 00:38:09,361
time for you know, when the

2275
00:38:09,361 --> 00:38:10,740
applications are due, when

2276
00:38:10,740 --> 00:38:10,756
they met they demonstrate how

2277
00:38:10,756 --> 00:38:11,365
it meets all the applications.

2278
00:38:11,365 --> 00:38:11,843
this is not zoning.

2279
00:38:11,843 --> 00:38:12,628
there's opportunities to meet

2280
00:38:12,628 --> 00:38:13,991
with staff to understand how to

2281
00:38:13,991 --> 00:38:14,227
this isn't even a zoning

2282
00:38:14,227 --> 00:38:15,350
application.

2283
00:38:15,350 --> 00:38:15,524
zoning is a legislative action

2284
00:38:15,524 --> 00:38:16,783
apply what the criteria are.

2285
00:38:16,783 --> 00:38:16,993
and just so you know, at one

2286
00:38:16,993 --> 00:38:18,900
where you're changing zoning.

2287
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:20,181
this is one we're not changing.

2288
00:38:20,181 --> 00:38:20,342
point we had all the grants in

2289
00:38:20,342 --> 00:38:21,980
you want a special use

2290
00:38:21,980 --> 00:38:21,157
is allowed in that zone.

2291
00:38:21,157 --> 00:38:22,240
one one you know, the community

2292
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:23,937
it just has to go through the

2293
00:38:23,937 --> 00:38:24,620
agency grants is the main thing

2294
00:38:24,620 --> 00:38:24,813
extra process which we've

2295
00:38:24,813 --> 00:38:25,430
and that was all one time

2296
00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:25,491
of year.

2297
00:38:25,491 --> 00:38:26,352
already pointed out is a bit

2298
00:38:26,352 --> 00:38:26,458
unfair because the only reason

2299
00:38:26,458 --> 00:38:27,548
but one of the reasons that at

2300
00:38:27,548 --> 00:38:28,237
the time it seemed like a good

2301
00:38:28,237 --> 00:38:29,246
idea to have more opportunities

2302
00:38:29,246 --> 00:38:29,820
we're going through the extra

2303
00:38:29,820 --> 00:38:30,951
process is because the people

2304
00:38:30,951 --> 00:38:31,678
people would come up in march

2305
00:38:31,678 --> 00:38:32,480
we serve are housed everybody

2306
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,624
or july and be like hey, we we

2307
00:38:34,624 --> 00:38:35,390
have this great program to help

2308
00:38:35,390 --> 00:38:35,486
engage kids during the summer.

2309
00:38:35,486 --> 00:38:36,460
else getting these services who

2310
00:38:36,460 --> 00:38:38,236
have a home who are not

2311
00:38:38,236 --> 00:38:38,977
but we didn't we didn't reply

2312
00:38:38,977 --> 00:38:39,134
back in january.

2313
00:38:39,134 --> 00:38:39,919
suffering from some type

2314
00:38:39,919 --> 00:38:39,980
we didn't know about it because

2315
00:38:39,980 --> 00:38:40,781
of disability or addiction can

2316
00:38:40,781 --> 00:38:40,869
we're new or fledgling or

2317
00:38:40,869 --> 00:38:43,142
get these services at this

2318
00:38:43,142 --> 00:38:44,167
whatever and they we had no

2319
00:38:44,167 --> 00:38:44,409
location permitted, go get the

2320
00:38:44,409 --> 00:38:45,228
permit.

2321
00:38:45,228 --> 00:38:46,936
and speaking of getting the

2322
00:38:46,936 --> 00:38:47,611
grant programs that were

2323
00:38:47,611 --> 00:38:47,698
available in those mid middle

2324
00:38:47,698 --> 00:38:48,573
permit that was done because

2325
00:38:48,573 --> 00:38:50,812
there was a permit issued

2326
00:38:50,812 --> 00:38:51,154
you know, besides that one

2327
00:38:51,154 --> 00:38:52,162
annual calendar.

2328
00:38:52,162 --> 00:38:52,730
conditional upon the appeal

2329
00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:54,418
process to the board.

2330
00:38:54,418 --> 00:38:54,427
so it's a it's a classic like

2331
00:38:54,427 --> 00:38:55,171
is there any appeals because

2332
00:38:55,171 --> 00:38:55,382
today's solutions can be

2333
00:38:55,382 --> 00:38:58,148
the law department and the

2334
00:38:58,148 --> 00:38:58,249
director of zoning determined

2335
00:38:58,249 --> 00:38:58,983
tomorrow's not sure problems

2336
00:38:58,983 --> 00:38:59,107
just sort of areas

2337
00:38:59,107 --> 00:38:59,318
that this was actually exempt

2338
00:38:59,318 --> 00:38:59,960
of confusion.

2339
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:02,176
from zoning because of the

2340
00:39:02,176 --> 00:39:02,733
so we we we want to keep

2341
00:39:02,733 --> 00:39:03,142
religious freedom act

2342
00:39:03,142 --> 00:39:03,704
improving and getting the word

2343
00:39:03,704 --> 00:39:03,718
out and maybe consolidating

2344
00:39:03,718 --> 00:39:06,507
of tennessee and rluipa of the

2345
00:39:06,507 --> 00:39:06,898
that some would be better.

2346
00:39:06,898 --> 00:39:07,529
federal counterpart that's not

2347
00:39:07,529 --> 00:39:07,778
I'm not sure if consolidating

2348
00:39:07,778 --> 00:39:08,391
before us today that just went

2349
00:39:08,391 --> 00:39:10,460
is the right thing if it's

2350
00:39:10,460 --> 00:39:11,174
through the bca earlier today

2351
00:39:11,174 --> 00:39:11,324
imperfect then it may be all

2352
00:39:11,324 --> 00:39:11,528
the bca upheld the planning

2353
00:39:11,528 --> 00:39:13,528
of the above.

2354
00:39:13,705 --> 00:39:13,949
directors or the zoning

2355
00:39:13,949 --> 00:39:14,370
but I I recognize that there

2356
00:39:14,370 --> 00:39:14,829
directors decision on that.

2357
00:39:14,829 --> 00:39:15,514
are people who are not getting

2358
00:39:15,514 --> 00:39:18,914
it may be before you in the

2359
00:39:18,914 --> 00:39:19,350
future but we can't do anything

2360
00:39:19,350 --> 00:39:19,760
the word that need to get the

2361
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:19,905
until this whole process

2362
00:39:19,905 --> 00:39:22,230
word and that there is some

2363
00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:22,476
is concluded so there's not

2364
00:39:22,476 --> 00:39:22,672
anything nefarious or

2365
00:39:22,672 --> 00:39:22,707
blurriness around all the

2366
00:39:22,707 --> 00:39:23,223
underhanded.

2367
00:39:23,223 --> 00:39:23,954
different opportunities.

2368
00:39:23,954 --> 00:39:26,390
I didn't know about that

2369
00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:26,473
we follow the rules every step

2370
00:39:26,473 --> 00:39:28,473
of the way.

2371
00:39:31,131 --> 00:39:33,727
staff laid out in detail why

2372
00:39:33,727 --> 00:39:34,478
this meets all the requirements

2373
00:39:34,478 --> 00:39:35,510
of the special use application.

2374
00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:38,383
I expounded upon that in my

2375
00:39:38,383 --> 00:39:39,261
letter that sent you all and

2376
00:39:39,261 --> 00:39:39,931
I'm and I do appreciate the

2377
00:39:39,931 --> 00:39:40,163
opportunity to meet with the

2378
00:39:40,163 --> 00:39:41,885
neighbors.

2379
00:39:41,885 --> 00:39:42,758
we met with them for about two

2380
00:39:42,758 --> 00:39:44,940
hours and I think that there

2381
00:39:44,940 --> 00:39:45,161
particular list so whoever can

2382
00:39:45,161 --> 00:39:45,511
text it to me immediately I'll

2383
00:39:45,511 --> 00:39:45,743
get it.

2384
00:39:45,743 --> 00:39:46,306
were some things that were

2385
00:39:46,306 --> 00:39:46,543
addressed that that were

2386
00:39:46,543 --> 00:39:47,642
we'll send out to all council

2387
00:39:47,642 --> 00:39:48,569
members on an email but I would

2388
00:39:48,569 --> 00:39:48,629
beneficial and the biggest

2389
00:39:48,629 --> 00:39:49,315
like that to be part of our

2390
00:39:49,315 --> 00:39:49,617
part of our workshop just some

2391
00:39:49,617 --> 00:39:49,894
thing is with regard to the

2392
00:39:49,894 --> 00:39:50,362
education there in terms

2393
00:39:50,362 --> 00:39:50,608
of what those opportunities

2394
00:39:50,608 --> 00:39:51,437
are.

2395
00:39:51,437 --> 00:39:52,100
it is probably going to send

2396
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:52,500
you guys the link.

2397
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:52,695
thank you.

2398
00:39:52,695 --> 00:39:53,220
safety safety is our number one

2399
00:39:53,220 --> 00:39:53,545
priority.

2400
00:39:53,545 --> 00:39:54,520
I don't know who was next mr.

2401
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:54,113
we care about these people more

2402
00:39:54,113 --> 00:39:54,396
thomas or mr. Grant.

2403
00:39:54,396 --> 00:39:55,480
than anybody.

2404
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,470
mr. Thomas, you haven't spoken

2405
00:39:56,470 --> 00:39:56,990
yet on this item back to you.

2406
00:39:56,990 --> 00:39:57,233
simply a great news about the

2407
00:39:57,233 --> 00:39:57,319
calendar.

2408
00:39:57,319 --> 00:39:57,663
haircut's cares about these

2409
00:39:57,663 --> 00:39:58,780
people more.

2410
00:39:58,780 --> 00:39:58,600
it's good and I simply wanted

2411
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:58,642
they want to keep them safe.

2412
00:39:58,642 --> 00:39:59,427
to say that councilperson

2413
00:39:59,427 --> 00:40:00,913
grant's got a lot of experience

2414
00:40:00,913 --> 00:40:00,986
they know how they were.

2415
00:40:00,986 --> 00:40:01,765
in the nonprofit world and his

2416
00:40:01,765 --> 00:40:02,380
points are well taken and I

2417
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:03,442
they are they know they help

2418
00:40:03,442 --> 00:40:04,315
think we will have a really

2419
00:40:04,315 --> 00:40:05,250
good opportunity at this

2420
00:40:05,250 --> 00:40:05,289
provide them rides when needed.

2421
00:40:05,289 --> 00:40:08,172
workshop which we did a poll

2422
00:40:08,172 --> 00:40:08,581
among the council people and

2423
00:40:08,581 --> 00:40:09,564
they help make sure they get

2424
00:40:09,564 --> 00:40:11,878
there safely and they have a

2425
00:40:11,878 --> 00:40:11,934
this one got a priority of of

2426
00:40:11,934 --> 00:40:12,227
tremendous track record in

2427
00:40:12,227 --> 00:40:12,696
action.

2428
00:40:12,696 --> 00:40:15,960
their current location which

2429
00:40:15,791 --> 00:40:16,202
is right across from one of the

2430
00:40:16,202 --> 00:40:16,450
so I'm hoping that we can

2431
00:40:16,450 --> 00:40:17,165
most popular pizza restaurants

2432
00:40:17,165 --> 00:40:17,237
really get a lot of these

2433
00:40:17,237 --> 00:40:19,804
in town and hasn't affected

2434
00:40:19,804 --> 00:40:20,460
their business one bit.

2435
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:20,503
issues discussed and addressed

2436
00:40:20,503 --> 00:40:20,929
at that workshop.

2437
00:40:20,929 --> 00:40:21,649
it's not going to affect these

2438
00:40:21,649 --> 00:40:23,697
but I just want to say I

2439
00:40:23,697 --> 00:40:24,141
businesses one bit.

2440
00:40:24,141 --> 00:40:24,923
appreciate your your bringing

2441
00:40:24,923 --> 00:40:27,445
this to our attention and you

2442
00:40:27,445 --> 00:40:27,500
mr. Hamilton's anecdotes only

2443
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:28,416
make some really good points

2444
00:40:28,416 --> 00:40:28,659
go to show that these people

2445
00:40:28,659 --> 00:40:29,111
and we look forward to kind

2446
00:40:29,111 --> 00:40:31,511
of digging into this.

2447
00:40:32,300 --> 00:40:32,265
thank you, council member

2448
00:40:32,265 --> 00:40:32,305

2450
00:40:33,870 --> 00:40:35,811
in the area and we're willing

2451
00:40:35,811 --> 00:40:35,870

confines of the law and we've

you can rely on staff

2461
00:40:43,791 --> 00:40:44,720

recommendation as material

2463
00:40:44,641 --> 00:40:44,731
ten of these organizations are

2464
00:40:44,731 --> 00:40:44,974
evidence to support your

2465
00:40:44,974 --> 00:40:46,974
decision.

2466
00:40:47,325 --> 00:40:48,380
in district six and so you

2467
00:40:48,380 --> 00:40:49,900
there's case law on that.

2468
00:40:49,900 --> 00:40:49,322
so I'd ask that you uphold this

2469
00:40:49,322 --> 00:40:49,819
decision.

2470
00:40:49,819 --> 00:40:51,345
thank you.

2471
00:40:51,345 --> 00:40:51,424
mr. Marlen's mr. Hamilton, you

2472
00:40:51,424 --> 00:40:54,909
know, I'm not up here, you

2473
00:40:54,909 --> 00:40:55,672
know, making statements just

2474
00:40:55,672 --> 00:40:56,640
based off my own accord.

2475
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:56,968
right.

2476
00:40:56,968 --> 00:40:58,713
there's community members who

2477
00:40:58,713 --> 00:40:58,931
can come back to a podium.

2478
00:40:58,931 --> 00:40:59,707
have these concerns, this

2479
00:40:59,707 --> 00:40:59,854
community members who don't

2480
00:40:59,854 --> 00:41:02,417
you may have up to two minutes

2481
00:41:02,417 --> 00:41:03,468
have the voices or the platform

2482
00:41:03,468 --> 00:41:05,665
or or maybe even tired

2483
00:41:05,665 --> 00:41:06,550
for rebuttal.

2484
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:07,626
of showing up to council if

2485
00:41:07,626 --> 00:41:07,974
they feel like it's going to be

2486
00:41:07,974 --> 00:41:09,974
passed anyway.

2487
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:11,205
the question of fear there was

2488
00:41:11,205 --> 00:41:13,829
those the unspoken truths that

2489
00:41:13,829 --> 00:41:15,360
a person killed on avenue

2490
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:15,392
aren't said and so we have to

2491
00:41:15,392 --> 00:41:17,392
do better.

2492
00:41:17,419 --> 00:41:17,735
unless the couple of months ago

2493
00:41:17,735 --> 00:41:18,599
I know I mean we keep saying

2494
00:41:18,599 --> 00:41:19,170
I was connected to a homeless

2495
00:41:19,170 --> 00:41:19,249
you know, we know we got to fix

2496
00:41:19,249 --> 00:41:21,249
this.

2497
00:41:22,197 --> 00:41:22,529
person stabbing motel six just

2498
00:41:22,529 --> 00:41:23,152
we know we got to fix this and

2499
00:41:23,152 --> 00:41:23,723
a couple of weeks ago right

2500
00:41:23,723 --> 00:41:24,695
I know we do got to fix this

2501
00:41:24,695 --> 00:41:25,723
but it's not fair to the

2502
00:41:25,723 --> 00:41:27,393
there merchants drive again

2503
00:41:27,393 --> 00:41:28,159
organizations who are on this

2504
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:29,416
you know, on these applications

2505
00:41:29,416 --> 00:41:29,522
another homeless, a takeover

2506
00:41:29,522 --> 00:41:30,275
who are receiving the funding

2507
00:41:30,275 --> 00:41:30,691
of waffle house where the

2508
00:41:30,691 --> 00:41:33,759
to have to feel like they're

2509
00:41:33,759 --> 00:41:34,893
police had come and clear the

2510
00:41:34,893 --> 00:41:35,568
being criticized because our

2511
00:41:35,568 --> 00:41:35,714
processes aren't what they need

2512
00:41:35,714 --> 00:41:35,923
area, take it back from one the

2513
00:41:35,923 --> 00:41:37,923
to be.

2514
00:41:39,264 --> 00:41:39,494
so to say, you know, they

2515
00:41:39,494 --> 00:41:39,701
homeless people.

2516
00:41:39,701 --> 00:41:40,596
expect it.

2517
00:41:40,596 --> 00:41:40,717
>> there is an epidemic

2518
00:41:40,717 --> 00:41:42,268
I mean that's another thing

2519
00:41:42,268 --> 00:41:43,410
that I'm confused.

2520
00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:43,569
it's like well we need to prove

2521
00:41:43,569 --> 00:41:44,170
of crime.

2522
00:41:44,170 --> 00:41:45,921
this because they're expecting

2523
00:41:45,921 --> 00:41:47,490
it.

2524
00:41:47,490 --> 00:41:47,394
how are they expecting it as

2525
00:41:47,394 --> 00:41:49,394
council members?

2526
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:50,589
we haven't voted on it.

2527
00:41:50,589 --> 00:41:51,640
we have to deal with that.

2528
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,253
what are we up here for if we

2529
00:41:54,253 --> 00:41:54,526
don't have our own opinions and

2530
00:41:54,526 --> 00:41:55,136
it is this claim that there's

2531
00:41:55,136 --> 00:41:55,478
we can't take the feedback from

2532
00:41:55,478 --> 00:41:58,116
going to be a twenty eight

2533
00:41:58,116 --> 00:41:59,300
our constituents and bring it

2534
00:41:59,300 --> 00:41:59,570
here, we have to do better.

2535
00:41:59,570 --> 00:42:00,119
people a day and how they're

2536
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:02,440
going to park well, we know

2537
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:02,902
I mean I'm not opposing them.

2538
00:42:02,902 --> 00:42:04,280
there's six parking spots.

2539
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,892
I've counted it and I don't

2540
00:42:05,892 --> 00:42:06,787
I just want to make no that we

2541
00:42:06,787 --> 00:42:07,882
understand that we have to do

2542
00:42:07,882 --> 00:42:10,363
better and I would like to ask

2543
00:42:10,363 --> 00:42:10,457
right now on the record are

2544
00:42:10,457 --> 00:42:11,390
count twenty.

2545
00:42:11,390 --> 00:42:13,994
there any grants coming before

2546
00:42:13,994 --> 00:42:14,227
this issue of fear is real.

2547
00:42:14,227 --> 00:42:17,823
us before april one either miss

2548
00:42:17,823 --> 00:42:17,934
middlebrook, I think this

2549
00:42:17,934 --> 00:42:18,393
it's not helpful when a city

2550
00:42:18,393 --> 00:42:18,955
is the last from your

2551
00:42:18,955 --> 00:42:21,355
department for this season.

2552
00:42:21,642 --> 00:42:24,738
refuses to follow its own rules

2553
00:42:24,738 --> 00:42:25,597
can you clarify so to clarify,

2554
00:42:25,597 --> 00:42:26,246
I believe in the february

2555
00:42:26,246 --> 00:42:28,646
doesn't change the analysis.

2556
00:42:28,972 --> 00:42:29,742
meeting the question was about

2557
00:42:29,742 --> 00:42:30,201
our grant making process and

2558
00:42:30,201 --> 00:42:30,966
no ceo should have been issued

2559
00:42:30,966 --> 00:42:32,535
because no permit should have

2560
00:42:32,535 --> 00:42:33,123
whether or not there was

2561
00:42:33,123 --> 00:42:33,178
been accepted according to

2562
00:42:33,178 --> 00:42:33,971
another application period

2563
00:42:33,971 --> 00:42:37,254
being opened and the answer to

2564
00:42:37,254 --> 00:42:37,419
that was no, not until next

2565
00:42:37,419 --> 00:42:38,330
sixteen twelve b six which

2566
00:42:38,330 --> 00:42:38,169
year because as has been noted,

2567
00:42:38,169 --> 00:42:40,547
quote no building permits

2568
00:42:40,547 --> 00:42:41,215
should be issued until city

2569
00:42:41,215 --> 00:42:41,971
the application for these came

2570
00:42:41,971 --> 00:42:44,371
in between november and

2571
00:42:44,748 --> 00:42:45,262
council acted on the appeal.

2572
00:42:45,262 --> 00:42:45,835
december which was the block

2573
00:42:45,835 --> 00:42:45,888
time period for those

2574
00:42:45,888 --> 00:42:46,810
how are we supposed to trust

2575
00:42:46,810 --> 00:42:48,810
applications.

2576
00:42:48,802 --> 00:42:49,263
the review process is staggered

2577
00:42:49,263 --> 00:42:49,739
any of the system if the system

2578
00:42:49,739 --> 00:42:50,217
because we have multiple

2579
00:42:50,217 --> 00:42:52,122
is not paying attention to its

2580
00:42:52,122 --> 00:42:52,776
committees reviewing different

2581
00:42:52,776 --> 00:42:52,804
own rules?

2582
00:42:52,804 --> 00:42:55,804
applications and so was based

2583
00:42:56,500 --> 00:42:56,769
on when those can meet and then

2584
00:42:56,769 --> 00:42:56,823
also considering other items on

2585
00:42:56,823 --> 00:42:59,823
thank you for the opportunity.

2586
00:42:59,866 --> 00:43:00,144
ok, thank you council members.

2587
00:43:00,144 --> 00:43:01,217
the agenda and it is best to

2588
00:43:01,217 --> 00:43:03,999
bring items and so all of these

2589
00:43:03,999 --> 00:43:04,220
applications across our the

2590
00:43:04,220 --> 00:43:07,220
that concludes the first part

2591
00:43:07,792 --> 00:43:08,140
o.s.s. Grant program were

2592
00:43:08,140 --> 00:43:08,768

2593
00:43:08,768 --> 00:43:08,986
opened and closed at the same

2594
00:43:08,986 --> 00:43:11,771
discuss it as us council member

2595
00:43:11,771 --> 00:43:11,943
thomas yes, if I understand

2596
00:43:11,943 --> 00:43:12,803
time in terms of other items

2597
00:43:12,803 --> 00:43:14,949
that may be coming before

2598
00:43:14,949 --> 00:43:15,679
attorney frost right.

2599
00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:16,555
council, the only things that

2600
00:43:16,555 --> 00:43:18,687
remain that currently to my

2601
00:43:18,687 --> 00:43:19,373
our charge today is to apply

2602
00:43:19,373 --> 00:43:19,664
knowledge remain open are the

2603
00:43:19,664 --> 00:43:20,520
the special use standards to

2604
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,816
grants that the empower knot's

2605
00:43:22,816 --> 00:43:23,249
initiative does which are

2606
00:43:23,249 --> 00:43:23,585
this application and I've gone

2607
00:43:23,585 --> 00:43:24,133
similar to our micro grant

2608
00:43:24,133 --> 00:43:26,459
through the packet as best I

2609
00:43:26,459 --> 00:43:27,630
programs for other programs

2610
00:43:27,630 --> 00:43:28,760
that folks can apply for on a

2611
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,760
rolling basis.

2612
00:43:30,773 --> 00:43:31,300
could and I will say clearcuts

2613
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:31,884
is there a vincent if council

2614
00:43:31,884 --> 00:43:35,377
does not want to see those

2615
00:43:35,377 --> 00:43:35,380
does great work and I've been a

2616
00:43:35,380 --> 00:43:35,943
grants at this time we can go

2617
00:43:35,943 --> 00:43:36,443
ahead and close that

2618
00:43:36,443 --> 00:43:36,616
supporter of them for a long

2619
00:43:36,616 --> 00:43:38,507
application for the event grant

2620
00:43:38,507 --> 00:43:39,100
so that we don't bring anything

2621
00:43:39,100 --> 00:43:39,580
time.

2622
00:43:39,580 --> 00:43:39,838
else.

2623
00:43:39,838 --> 00:43:40,780
I've attended their side and

2624
00:43:40,780 --> 00:43:40,590
but in terms of our larger

2625
00:43:40,590 --> 00:43:40,865
williams I've attended their

2626
00:43:40,865 --> 00:43:42,949
grants this is the last one but

2627
00:43:42,949 --> 00:43:43,364
luncheons.

2628
00:43:43,364 --> 00:43:44,720
they are open and closed at the

2629
00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:44,152
if my memory serves me well

2630
00:43:44,152 --> 00:43:46,725
same time and were received at

2631
00:43:46,725 --> 00:43:48,680
the same time.

2632
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:49,842
well, mr. Grant, I mean I think

2633
00:43:49,842 --> 00:43:50,913
it's easy unless there's some

2634
00:43:50,913 --> 00:43:51,883
unless someone on my staff can

2635
00:43:51,883 --> 00:43:54,282
tell me that there's a pending

2636
00:43:54,282 --> 00:43:54,849
grant that's time sensitive

2637
00:43:54,849 --> 00:43:57,249
between now and april.

2638
00:43:57,785 --> 00:43:58,756
twenty third I think we can say

2639
00:43:58,756 --> 00:43:59,632
that there's not going to be

2640
00:43:59,632 --> 00:44:02,461
any more between now and april.

2641
00:44:02,461 --> 00:44:04,923
twenty come into council for

2642
00:44:04,923 --> 00:44:05,580
I've dispersed some city funds

2643
00:44:05,580 --> 00:44:05,813
your review and approval and

2644
00:44:05,813 --> 00:44:06,580
to them when I had an

2645
00:44:06,580 --> 00:44:06,758
opportunity.

2646
00:44:06,758 --> 00:44:07,326
let me know now if that's mayor

2647
00:44:07,326 --> 00:44:07,498
that's not yes.

2648
00:44:07,498 --> 00:44:08,560
so this is not about the good

2649
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:09,546
work that that haircut does and

2650
00:44:09,546 --> 00:44:10,111
I know a lot of them on first

2651
00:44:10,111 --> 00:44:11,290
basis first name basis.

2652
00:44:11,290 --> 00:44:11,794
the issue here is whether or

2653
00:44:11,794 --> 00:44:12,655
not this particular site meets

2654
00:44:12,655 --> 00:44:12,895
the criteria of a special use

2655
00:44:12,895 --> 00:44:13,629
we do have I believe challenge

2656
00:44:13,629 --> 00:44:13,920
grant park neighborhood

2657
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,196
and I've gone through I've read

2658
00:44:14,196 --> 00:44:14,872
challenge grant neighborhood I

2659
00:44:14,872 --> 00:44:15,737
everything in the packet I've

2660
00:44:15,737 --> 00:44:16,797
tried to analyze the lawyers

2661
00:44:16,797 --> 00:44:17,554
think our I'm sorry ibrahim um

2662
00:44:17,554 --> 00:44:18,829
from parks and recreation.

2663
00:44:18,829 --> 00:44:21,600
agreements as best as possible

2664
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:22,944
ok, coming before us on march

2665
00:44:22,944 --> 00:44:24,124
and looking at the six criteria

2666
00:44:24,124 --> 00:44:24,984
under sixteen point to have to

2667
00:44:24,984 --> 00:44:25,927
the thirty first.

2668
00:44:25,927 --> 00:44:27,515
ok so there will be the

2669
00:44:27,515 --> 00:44:27,794
there's four that really give

2670
00:44:27,794 --> 00:44:28,773
neighborhood parks and rec

2671
00:44:28,773 --> 00:44:29,114
challenge grants come in for

2672
00:44:29,114 --> 00:44:31,114
your review.

2673
00:44:31,303 --> 00:44:32,453
me pause and huge questions

2674
00:44:32,453 --> 00:44:33,245
those are again those have been

2675
00:44:33,245 --> 00:44:34,623
around a long time and they're

2676
00:44:34,623 --> 00:44:35,152
about whether or not they are

2677
00:44:35,152 --> 00:44:35,938
actually met.

2678
00:44:35,938 --> 00:44:38,938
pretty small dollar amounts and

2679
00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:39,631
the first one is whether the

2680
00:44:39,631 --> 00:44:39,943
the total is is if I believe

2681
00:44:39,943 --> 00:44:40,786
use is consistent with the

2682
00:44:40,786 --> 00:44:41,240
I'm correct I think it's less

2683
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:43,133
than twenty five thousand

2684
00:44:43,133 --> 00:44:43,909
adopted plans and policies

2685
00:44:43,909 --> 00:44:44,113
including the general and the

2686
00:44:44,113 --> 00:44:44,757
dollars in total across a

2687
00:44:44,757 --> 00:44:46,757
number of organizations.

2688
00:44:47,702 --> 00:44:48,554
any others that I know of off

2689
00:44:48,554 --> 00:44:49,267
the top of your head?

2690
00:44:49,267 --> 00:44:49,750
I don't think so.

2691
00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:50,492
one year plan and the that

2692
00:44:50,492 --> 00:44:52,426
certification is to promote

2693
00:44:52,426 --> 00:44:53,878
ok, but again, you know, there

2694
00:44:53,878 --> 00:44:55,439
redevelopment of vacant or

2695
00:44:55,439 --> 00:44:57,681
sometimes we stretch them out

2696
00:44:57,681 --> 00:44:58,946
largely vacant shopping centers

2697
00:44:58,946 --> 00:44:59,696
just to uh you know, have

2698
00:44:59,696 --> 00:45:01,720
shorter agendas but maybe

2699
00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:01,831
and this is not a vacant or

2700
00:45:01,831 --> 00:45:02,899
largely vacant shopping center.

2701
00:45:02,899 --> 00:45:04,370
that's not a good idea anyhow.

2702
00:45:04,370 --> 00:45:05,820
we want to hear more about how

2703
00:45:05,820 --> 00:45:07,230
it has ongoing businesses.

2704
00:45:07,230 --> 00:45:07,775
we can improve on april

2705
00:45:07,775 --> 00:45:08,831
twenty third and also continue

2706
00:45:08,831 --> 00:45:09,889
so under section one which

2707
00:45:09,889 --> 00:45:10,962
would be trying to promote

2708
00:45:10,962 --> 00:45:12,430
the conversation tonight as you

2709
00:45:12,430 --> 00:45:13,476
want counts vice if you get

2710
00:45:13,476 --> 00:45:14,142
redevelopment of a vacant

2711
00:45:14,142 --> 00:45:14,538
shopping center or largely

2712
00:45:14,538 --> 00:45:17,538
thank I would just respectfully

2713
00:45:17,660 --> 00:45:18,137
vacant this should not apply so

2714
00:45:18,137 --> 00:45:18,912
request that if you find after

2715
00:45:18,912 --> 00:45:19,889
you get in your offices

2716
00:45:19,889 --> 00:45:20,863
tomorrow and what you did not

2717
00:45:20,863 --> 00:45:22,772
that criteria was not met

2718
00:45:22,772 --> 00:45:23,540
know off the top of your head

2719
00:45:23,540 --> 00:45:25,700
tonight you find that there

2720
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:25,836
whether it has the use in

2721
00:45:25,836 --> 00:45:26,140
harmony with general purpose

2722
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:26,459
is another one coming to us

2723
00:45:26,459 --> 00:45:28,459
before april.

2724
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:29,100
and intent of the zoning

2725
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:29,951
please let us know otherwise I

2726
00:45:29,951 --> 00:45:30,165
code says the one district

2727
00:45:30,165 --> 00:45:33,352
look forward to a very robust

2728
00:45:33,352 --> 00:45:34,147
is intended to accommodate high

2729
00:45:34,147 --> 00:45:37,143
workshop on april twenty third

2730
00:45:37,143 --> 00:45:40,143
intensity commercial uses of a

2731
00:45:40,183 --> 00:45:40,836
because this is new to it's a

2732
00:45:40,836 --> 00:45:41,142
lot lot of grants.

2733
00:45:41,142 --> 00:45:43,542
predominantly auto orien it

2734
00:45:43,686 --> 00:45:44,946
the city gives away a lot

2735
00:45:44,946 --> 00:45:45,795
character and that is the

2736
00:45:45,795 --> 00:45:47,703
situation there on merchants

2737
00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:48,570
of community grant money and so

2738
00:45:48,570 --> 00:45:51,570
look forward to discussing all

2739
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:53,376
road and me being someone who

2740
00:45:53,376 --> 00:45:55,211
promotes pedestrianism and

2741
00:45:55,211 --> 00:45:56,150
our processes and oh ok.

2742
00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:56,546
no other lights on the motion

2743
00:45:56,546 --> 00:45:58,946
loves pedestrianism, the use

2744
00:45:59,470 --> 00:45:59,382
on the floor to approve this

2745
00:45:59,382 --> 00:45:59,926
item.

2746
00:45:59,926 --> 00:46:00,409
of this would be primarily

2747
00:46:00,409 --> 00:46:02,899
twelve f all those in favor

2748
00:46:02,899 --> 00:46:03,752
please say ay ay yi opposed

2749
00:46:03,752 --> 00:46:04,456
opposed motion carries eight

2750
00:46:04,456 --> 00:46:08,251
pedestrian and so as much as I

2751
00:46:08,251 --> 00:46:09,193
wish that wasn't the case,

2752
00:46:09,193 --> 00:46:11,593
that's what the the

2753
00:46:11,969 --> 00:46:12,873
code requires.

2754
00:46:12,873 --> 00:46:13,246
the code talks about is about

2755
00:46:13,246 --> 00:46:16,510
one next item please 12 g is a

2756
00:46:16,510 --> 00:46:16,648
an auto centric auto oriented

2757
00:46:16,648 --> 00:46:17,604
resolution authorizing the

2758
00:46:17,604 --> 00:46:18,259

2763
00:46:22,893 --> 00:46:24,143
character in so the fact that

2764
00:46:24,143 --> 00:46:25,209
the proposed use here is not an

2765
00:46:25,209 --> 00:46:25,979
relocation support to

2766
00:46:25,979 --> 00:46:28,353

2776
00:46:36,965 --> 00:46:39,189

2781
00:46:40,907 --> 00:46:44,507
we'll start with those in favor

you'll have up to three minutes

2790
00:46:52,737 --> 00:46:55,328
it says the proposal is not

2791
00:46:55,328 --> 00:46:55,512
expected to significantly

2801
00:47:03,512 --> 00:47:03,870
it had no substance to it.

2802
00:47:03,870 --> 00:47:06,262
we have reviewed the proposed

2803
00:47:06,262 --> 00:47:06,988
contract for the office from

2804
00:47:06,988 --> 00:47:07,118
it had no evaluation about why

the office of community safety

2806
00:47:07,754 --> 00:47:08,960

proposed contact tracked in the

scope of work connected

2816

community based resource where

2817
00:47:19,437 --> 00:47:21,167
over 80 comments and I think

2818
00:47:21,167 --> 00:47:22,182
people come to find some hope.

2819
00:47:22,182 --> 00:47:22,839
we are excited about the

2820
00:47:22,839 --> 00:47:23,790
only two were in support

2821
00:47:23,790 --> 00:47:26,579
of this location for its

00:47:26,579 --> 00:47:27,246

2827
00:47:30,543 --> 00:47:31,630
knowing that the participants

2828
00:47:31,630 --> 00:47:32,128
one of those comments and the

2829
00:47:32,128 --> 00:47:33,100
theme that runs through them

2830
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:33,872
that are enrolling are those

2831
00:47:33,872 --> 00:47:33,989
who have voluntarily come to

2832
00:47:33,989 --> 00:47:34,971
is we're not against clearcuts

2833
00:47:34,971 --> 00:47:37,184
, we're concerned with the

2834
00:47:37,184 --> 00:47:38,710
say that I want to change my

life and the promise for a

2836
00:47:38,345 --> 00:47:38,675
safety but these were well

2837
00:47:38,675 --> 00:47:40,675
written.

2838
00:47:41,673 --> 00:47:42,240
better life for me and my

2839
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:42,922

2840
00:47:42,922 --> 00:47:42,945

2841
00:47:42,945 --> 00:47:43,991
twenty three and seven say as

2842
00:47:43,991 --> 00:47:45,534
many of them were by business

2843
00:47:45,534 --> 00:47:46,274
far as a man thinks in his

2844
00:47:46,274 --> 00:47:46,692
heart, so is he.

2845
00:47:46,692 --> 00:47:48,819
owners along that corridor and

2846
00:47:48,819 --> 00:47:49,874
we want to provide a space for

2847
00:47:49,874 --> 00:47:50,182
participants to think for a

2848
00:47:50,182 --> 00:47:51,128
they have valid concerns and

2849
00:47:51,128 --> 00:47:51,657
this is not just some

2850
00:47:51,657 --> 00:47:53,274
unspectacular speculation

2851
00:47:53,274 --> 00:47:54,135

they have valid concerns about

2855
00:47:57,515 --> 00:47:58,423
with various organizations

2856
00:47:58,423 --> 00:47:58,748
how this will impact their

2857
00:47:58,748 --> 00:48:00,748
business.

2858
00:48:00,817 --> 00:48:01,780

to speak.

2904
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:41,659

2905
00:48:41,659 --> 00:48:43,171

2906
00:48:43,171 --> 00:48:44,264

2907
00:48:44,264 --> 00:48:44,472
this in the city and we are

2908
00:48:44,472 --> 00:48:44,619
go back to you if you put the

2909
00:48:44,619 --> 00:48:45,330
trusted messengers.

2910
00:48:45,330 --> 00:48:45,672
clock back at another three

2911
00:48:45,672 --> 00:48:46,134
five minutes.

2912
00:48:46,134 --> 00:48:46,672
one of the trusted messengers

2913
00:48:46,672 --> 00:48:47,812
of the city.

2914
00:48:47,812 --> 00:48:50,596
and I just think that the

2915
00:48:50,596 --> 00:48:51,371
structure that's laid out for

2916
00:48:51,371 --> 00:48:51,760
the weekly reporting and the

2917
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,357
ok so I can so you know I

2918
00:48:54,357 --> 00:48:54,372
talked about how the this would

2919
00:48:54,372 --> 00:48:55,122
weekly gatherings have all

2920
00:48:55,122 --> 00:48:55,410
of the partners come together

2921
00:48:55,410 --> 00:48:58,388
injure the businesses and the

2922
00:48:58,388 --> 00:48:58,404
property values that's

2923
00:48:58,404 --> 00:48:59,530
to share what's happening, to

2924
00:48:59,530 --> 00:48:59,280
substantiating the record and

2925
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,280
share participants work that we

2926
00:49:02,457 --> 00:49:02,475
these are people who are

2927
00:49:02,475 --> 00:49:03,234
do every department needs case

2928
00:49:03,234 --> 00:49:03,420
management because you can

2929
00:49:03,420 --> 00:49:03,700
observers of that area and they

2930
00:49:03,700 --> 00:49:05,700
manage for connect.

2931
00:49:06,395 --> 00:49:06,617
own businesses there and

2932
00:49:06,617 --> 00:49:06,955
you can't do my case

2933
00:49:06,955 --> 00:49:07,270
management.

2934
00:49:07,270 --> 00:49:08,117
they're talking about how this

2935
00:49:08,117 --> 00:49:10,451
I have to do my role and so

2936
00:49:10,451 --> 00:49:10,484
is going to impact about how

2937
00:49:10,484 --> 00:49:11,374
every entity that's a part

2938
00:49:11,374 --> 00:49:13,156
of this have to have all the

2939
00:49:13,156 --> 00:49:14,330
pieces in their organization to

2940
00:49:14,330 --> 00:49:14,383
hand walk these people through

2941
00:49:14,383 --> 00:49:14,443
this process.

2942
00:49:14,443 --> 00:49:15,527
already it is and based glee

2943
00:49:15,527 --> 00:49:15,727
and so we just thank you for

2944
00:49:15,727 --> 00:49:18,698
the situation we're in I was a

2945
00:49:18,698 --> 00:49:19,200
the opportunity connect to be a

2946
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:19,575
council member when all this

2947
00:49:19,575 --> 00:49:19,803
part of it and come to speak

2948
00:49:19,803 --> 00:49:21,334
happened and I could see it

2949
00:49:21,334 --> 00:49:21,672
today in favor of this

2950
00:49:21,672 --> 00:49:22,270
contract.

2951
00:49:22,270 --> 00:49:22,586
thank you.

2952
00:49:22,586 --> 00:49:25,197
before my eyes but it was when

2953
00:49:25,197 --> 00:49:26,286
thank you.

2954
00:49:26,286 --> 00:49:26,332
black stock the housing area

2955
00:49:26,332 --> 00:49:27,264
next person signed up to speak

2956
00:49:27,264 --> 00:49:27,302
and around black stock was they

2957
00:49:27,302 --> 00:49:29,267
in favor of this item is jan

2958
00:49:29,267 --> 00:49:30,177
kominski.

2959
00:49:30,177 --> 00:49:30,291
did a sweep and it forced all

2960
00:49:30,291 --> 00:49:31,170
miss kominski, if you could

2961
00:49:31,170 --> 00:49:32,945
come to the podium, state your

2962
00:49:32,945 --> 00:49:33,466
name and address for the record

2963
00:49:33,466 --> 00:49:34,120
the homeless out of black stop

2964
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:34,209
and you'll have up to three

2965
00:49:34,209 --> 00:49:36,609
because of complaints from

2966
00:49:37,178 --> 00:49:38,301
neighbors there.

2967
00:49:38,301 --> 00:49:41,630
and so where did they go?

2968
00:49:41,630 --> 00:49:42,481
they went north and so that's

2969
00:49:42,481 --> 00:49:44,207
when I started hearing

2970
00:49:44,207 --> 00:49:44,874
minutes to address council.

2971
00:49:44,874 --> 00:49:45,421
complaints about these issues

2972
00:49:45,421 --> 00:49:45,665
>> hey, my name is jean

2973
00:49:45,665 --> 00:49:45,858
kaminsky.

2974
00:49:45,858 --> 00:49:49,149
that have been spoken from from

2975
00:49:49,149 --> 00:49:52,364
the podium and I hear them

2976
00:49:52,364 --> 00:49:53,222
consistently, you know, and

2977
00:49:53,222 --> 00:49:56,222
this happened after the the

2978
00:49:56,607 --> 00:49:56,938
black stock camp was cleaned

2979
00:49:56,938 --> 00:49:58,250
out.

2980
00:49:58,250 --> 00:49:59,911
and so what I'm concerned about

2981
00:49:59,911 --> 00:50:03,830
is we're going to start another

2982
00:50:03,830 --> 00:50:03,929
mission this district in

2983
00:50:03,929 --> 00:50:06,308
merchants road where people

2984
00:50:06,308 --> 00:50:06,985
I live at five four or one

2985
00:50:06,985 --> 00:50:07,431
three seven eight four nine.

2986
00:50:07,431 --> 00:50:07,792
will be going there even more

2987
00:50:07,792 --> 00:50:08,250
I'm the executive director

2988
00:50:08,250 --> 00:50:09,460
of community mediation center

2989
00:50:09,460 --> 00:50:09,625
here in knoxville and we work

2990
00:50:09,625 --> 00:50:10,199
with courts, families and

2991
00:50:10,199 --> 00:50:10,872
community partners to help

2992
00:50:10,872 --> 00:50:11,329
people resolve conflict in a

2993
00:50:11,329 --> 00:50:11,426
constructive and accessible

2994
00:50:11,426 --> 00:50:11,574
where the services aren't

2995
00:50:11,574 --> 00:50:11,752
way.

2996
00:50:11,752 --> 00:50:12,416
centralized.

2997
00:50:12,416 --> 00:50:12,671
and we've been doing so since

2998
00:50:12,671 --> 00:50:13,940
so I don't need it.

2999
00:50:13,940 --> 00:50:13,889
nineteen ninety four but I'm

3000
00:50:13,889 --> 00:50:14,672
not here tonight to speak about

3001
00:50:14,672 --> 00:50:15,246
my organization and I'm here to

3002
00:50:15,246 --> 00:50:15,427
speak in support of connect

3003
00:50:15,427 --> 00:50:15,477
I don't think it meets the

3004
00:50:15,477 --> 00:50:16,416
ministries.

3005
00:50:16,416 --> 00:50:17,900
I've gotten to know their work

3006
00:50:17,900 --> 00:50:17,544
through my involvement in the

3007
00:50:17,544 --> 00:50:18,000
violence reduction provider

3008
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,169
network where organizations

3009
00:50:19,169 --> 00:50:19,208
meet weekly to brainstorm ways

3010
00:50:19,208 --> 00:50:19,919
criteria of not significantly

3011
00:50:19,919 --> 00:50:20,550
to provide wraparound services

3012
00:50:20,550 --> 00:50:20,695
injuring the value of adjacent

3013
00:50:20,695 --> 00:50:23,352
to individuals and families who

3014
00:50:23,352 --> 00:50:23,474
properties based on what the

3015
00:50:23,474 --> 00:50:24,223
are facing serious challenges.

3016
00:50:24,223 --> 00:50:24,607
people and business owners in

3017
00:50:24,607 --> 00:50:26,493
and week after week I see

3018
00:50:26,493 --> 00:50:27,486
that area have said.

3019
00:50:27,486 --> 00:50:27,585
number six, the nature

3020
00:50:27,585 --> 00:50:28,663
connect ministries showing up

3021
00:50:28,663 --> 00:50:30,662
in very real and in practical

3022
00:50:30,662 --> 00:50:31,239
of development is round here.

3023
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:31,896
ways.

3024
00:50:31,896 --> 00:50:32,760
it's not such as to pose a

3025
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:32,307
they're not just talking about

3026
00:50:32,307 --> 00:50:33,222
solutions.

3027
00:50:33,222 --> 00:50:34,474
they're actively helping people

3028
00:50:34,474 --> 00:50:34,599
potential hazard and we've

3029
00:50:34,599 --> 00:50:35,359
navigate housing instability,

3030
00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:37,759
find employment and rebuild

3031
00:50:38,670 --> 00:50:38,662
heard about how there's a lack

3032
00:50:38,662 --> 00:50:38,727
their lives post incarceration.

3033
00:50:38,727 --> 00:50:39,684
of infrastructure there.

3034
00:50:39,684 --> 00:50:39,733
they really do meet people

3035
00:50:39,733 --> 00:50:42,733
this is a pedestrian community

3036
00:50:42,859 --> 00:50:42,928
where they are and provide

3037
00:50:42,928 --> 00:50:43,433
that will be using the space

3038
00:50:43,433 --> 00:50:45,833
support that seems really

3039
00:50:46,128 --> 00:50:46,462
grounded and really responsive

3040
00:50:46,462 --> 00:50:46,615
.

3041
00:50:46,615 --> 00:50:47,399
and that is a very auto centric

3042
00:50:47,399 --> 00:50:48,602
and so what has really stood

3043
00:50:48,602 --> 00:50:49,699
out to me is the way that their

3044
00:50:49,699 --> 00:50:50,445
area and we don't have the

3045
00:50:50,445 --> 00:50:51,481
infrastructure there to

3046
00:50:51,481 --> 00:50:52,231
team approaches this work,

3047
00:50:52,231 --> 00:50:53,854
they're a thoughtful, creative

3048
00:50:53,854 --> 00:50:54,702
accommodate this type of foot

3049
00:50:54,702 --> 00:50:54,930
problem solvers and they're

3050
00:50:54,930 --> 00:50:55,586
traffic and it's going to be

3051
00:50:55,586 --> 00:50:57,835
willing to step into complex

3052
00:50:57,835 --> 00:50:58,883
dangerous for the people who

3053
00:50:58,883 --> 00:50:59,119
situations and help people move

3054
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:01,119
forward.

3055
00:51:01,650 --> 00:51:02,550
are using this facility and a

3056
00:51:02,550 --> 00:51:02,635
they're doing the kinds

3057
00:51:02,635 --> 00:51:02,794
lot of the comments that are in

3058
00:51:02,794 --> 00:51:03,655
of hands-on relationship based

3059
00:51:03,655 --> 00:51:05,135
work that makes a real

3060
00:51:05,135 --> 00:51:05,791
our packet was people who are

3061
00:51:05,791 --> 00:51:06,736
talking about this.

3062
00:51:06,736 --> 00:51:06,922
difference even when it's not

3063
00:51:06,922 --> 00:51:07,309
>> they were talking about the

3064
00:51:07,309 --> 00:51:08,682
always easy to measure.

3065
00:51:08,682 --> 00:51:10,136
care of the the the users

3066
00:51:10,136 --> 00:51:11,200
they seem to understand the

3067
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:11,778
real barriers that people are

3068
00:51:11,778 --> 00:51:13,488
facing as well as understanding

3069
00:51:13,488 --> 00:51:13,878
of this facility and how

3070
00:51:13,878 --> 00:51:14,354
the systems that people need to

3071
00:51:14,354 --> 00:51:14,561
dangerous this is going to be

3072
00:51:14,561 --> 00:51:17,351
navigate and are willing to

3073
00:51:17,351 --> 00:51:17,359
walk with people through that.

3074
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:18,186
and we're going to allow this

3075
00:51:18,186 --> 00:51:18,228
so from my perspective there

3076
00:51:18,228 --> 00:51:18,859
use there without us taking

3077
00:51:18,859 --> 00:51:20,305
are strong and reliable partner

3078
00:51:20,305 --> 00:51:21,690
care of the under lying

3079
00:51:21,690 --> 00:51:21,624
infrastructure that would need

3080
00:51:21,624 --> 00:51:22,279
in this community and their

3081
00:51:22,279 --> 00:51:23,372
work contributes directly to

3082
00:51:23,372 --> 00:51:25,173
to be put in place there.

3083
00:51:25,173 --> 00:51:26,440
stability, safety and better

3084
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:26,605
long term outcomes for people

3085
00:51:26,605 --> 00:51:28,256
here in our community.

3086
00:51:28,256 --> 00:51:30,156
so based upon that I am going

3087
00:51:30,156 --> 00:51:31,330
so I just wanted to take this

3088
00:51:31,330 --> 00:51:32,290
moment to show up in support

3089
00:51:32,290 --> 00:51:32,630
of their work and to share what

3090
00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:32,930
to move to approve the appeal

3091
00:51:32,930 --> 00:51:33,800
which is one of the tough ones

3092
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:34,827
I've seen firsthand from them.

3093
00:51:34,827 --> 00:51:35,490
so I hope they're able to

3094
00:51:35,490 --> 00:51:36,778
I've had to do.

3095
00:51:36,778 --> 00:51:37,565
secure this funding so that

3096
00:51:37,565 --> 00:51:39,435
they can continue to expand the

3097
00:51:39,435 --> 00:51:40,185
but my analysis anyway of this

3098
00:51:40,185 --> 00:51:40,373
particular situation, the

3099
00:51:40,373 --> 00:51:41,298
good work that they do.

3100
00:51:41,298 --> 00:51:43,781
thank you for your time.

3101
00:51:43,781 --> 00:51:44,621
criteria for special use

3102
00:51:44,621 --> 00:51:45,549
thank you, counsel.

3103
00:51:45,549 --> 00:51:47,591
there's one person who signed

3104
00:51:47,591 --> 00:51:48,260
is that the criteria are not

3105
00:51:48,260 --> 00:51:48,367
granted are not met.

3106
00:51:48,367 --> 00:51:49,391
up to speak against us.

3107
00:51:49,391 --> 00:51:49,734
that's what is categorized on

3108
00:51:49,734 --> 00:51:50,229
my sheet.

3109
00:51:50,229 --> 00:51:50,564
mr. Robinson.

3110
00:51:50,564 --> 00:51:51,709
thank you.

3111
00:51:51,709 --> 00:51:52,138
>> ok, motion has been made to

3112
00:51:52,138 --> 00:51:52,688
matthew robinson, you're not

3113
00:51:52,688 --> 00:51:52,897
grant the appeals are second to

3114
00:51:52,897 --> 00:51:54,850
speaking in us, ok?

3115
00:51:54,850 --> 00:51:56,140
this motion hearing none.

3116
00:51:56,140 --> 00:51:58,997
that concludes people who have

3117
00:51:58,997 --> 00:51:59,168
the motion fails for lack of a

3118
00:51:59,168 --> 00:51:59,332
signed up to speak to this item

3119
00:51:59,332 --> 00:51:59,506
second.

3120
00:51:59,506 --> 00:52:00,450
.

3121
00:52:00,450 --> 00:52:02,614
is there motion to deny the

3122
00:52:02,614 --> 00:52:03,245
appeal?

3123
00:52:03,245 --> 00:52:03,574
council member graham thank

3124
00:52:03,574 --> 00:52:03,754
you.

3125
00:52:03,754 --> 00:52:04,746
>> I would like to make a

3126
00:52:04,746 --> 00:52:07,136
motion to deny that has been a

3127
00:52:07,136 --> 00:52:07,494
motion made and second to deny

3128
00:52:07,494 --> 00:52:08,212
the appeal.

3129
00:52:08,212 --> 00:52:10,354
any questions are discussion.

3130
00:52:10,354 --> 00:52:10,454
>> mayor deja vu.

3131
00:52:10,454 --> 00:52:11,280
I'd like to make a short please

3132
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:11,636
there's a few council members

3133
00:52:11,636 --> 00:52:14,621
I know I would like to begin

3134
00:52:14,621 --> 00:52:14,893
that planning you made this

3135
00:52:14,893 --> 00:52:17,673
up here who was in this very

3136
00:52:17,673 --> 00:52:18,390
position last year when the

3137
00:52:18,390 --> 00:52:21,390
this was what they recommended

3138
00:52:21,478 --> 00:52:22,447
city decided to move forward

3139
00:52:22,447 --> 00:52:23,102
to to a planning commission and

3140
00:52:23,102 --> 00:52:23,885
it passed planning permission

3141
00:52:23,885 --> 00:52:25,474
nine zero went back and watched

3142
00:52:25,474 --> 00:52:26,579
within ikeja.

3143
00:52:26,579 --> 00:52:27,444
the meeting and I feel like

3144
00:52:27,444 --> 00:52:29,537
they they read through these

3145
00:52:29,537 --> 00:52:29,985
you know, in ikeja has done

3146
00:52:29,985 --> 00:52:31,309
good things.

3147
00:52:31,309 --> 00:52:33,100
you know, I won't take away the

3148
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:34,100
five merrett and so that was my

3149
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:36,610
credit from that but now I'm

3150
00:52:36,610 --> 00:52:37,279
starting point and then I read

3151
00:52:37,279 --> 00:52:37,386
finding ourself in the same

3152
00:52:37,386 --> 00:52:38,268
through the five minutes myself

3153
00:52:38,268 --> 00:52:40,540
and begin to understand some

3154
00:52:40,540 --> 00:52:40,906
position where we're not

3155
00:52:40,906 --> 00:52:40,944
creating a process that's

3156
00:52:40,944 --> 00:52:43,944
things and looking at many

3157
00:52:44,532 --> 00:52:44,595
of the things that councilman

3158
00:52:44,595 --> 00:52:45,502
instrumental to the community.

3159
00:52:45,502 --> 00:52:45,625
thomas just outlined I see

3160
00:52:45,625 --> 00:52:48,601
I can't take away anything from

3161
00:52:48,601 --> 00:52:48,885
janeck ministries in terms

3162
00:52:48,885 --> 00:52:49,579
differently I see that a

3163
00:52:49,579 --> 00:52:49,681
of the effort they do more than

3164
00:52:49,681 --> 00:52:51,963
sidewalk ends at arby's which

3165
00:52:51,963 --> 00:52:52,547
is on the same block as this

3166
00:52:52,547 --> 00:52:53,575
what they just say.

3167
00:52:53,575 --> 00:52:55,352
>> I never see them turn

3168
00:52:55,352 --> 00:52:55,735
place is just to the north west

3169
00:52:55,735 --> 00:52:55,882
around, turn around anybody at

3170
00:52:55,882 --> 00:52:56,930
of that.

3171
00:52:56,930 --> 00:52:59,275
so it's it's on the same block.

3172
00:52:59,275 --> 00:52:59,720
it just hasn't been continued

3173
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:00,137
the door on but that doesn't

3174
00:53:00,137 --> 00:53:03,137
but it's literally less than

3175
00:53:03,447 --> 00:53:04,585
one hundred feet away.

3176
00:53:04,585 --> 00:53:06,354
I also feel that with the bus

3177
00:53:06,354 --> 00:53:07,421
mean that what we have in place

3178
00:53:07,421 --> 00:53:07,988
has been added to the community

3179
00:53:07,988 --> 00:53:10,999
stop nearby it makes sense for

3180
00:53:10,999 --> 00:53:11,695
in terms of providing case

3181
00:53:11,695 --> 00:53:11,754
people to be coming and going.

3182
00:53:11,754 --> 00:53:12,696
management to hire this

3183
00:53:12,696 --> 00:53:14,554
I think of work haircuts

3184
00:53:14,554 --> 00:53:15,309
currently is right now and I'm

3185
00:53:15,309 --> 00:53:17,709
in commercial real estate.

3186
00:53:18,430 --> 00:53:18,908
the value of that property

3187
00:53:18,908 --> 00:53:19,379
individual again, I think the

3188
00:53:19,379 --> 00:53:19,577
because of all the businesses

3189
00:53:19,577 --> 00:53:20,148
process needs to be better.

3190
00:53:20,148 --> 00:53:20,921
there the back building sold

3191
00:53:20,921 --> 00:53:22,913
I think we can do a much better

3192
00:53:22,913 --> 00:53:23,880
for over two hundred fifty

3193
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:23,572
job in terms of creating an

3194
00:53:23,572 --> 00:53:23,754
dollars square foot which

3195
00:53:23,754 --> 00:53:25,939
ecosystem where you have

3196
00:53:25,939 --> 00:53:26,339
is the same amount it's right

3197
00:53:26,339 --> 00:53:26,951
different violence prevention

3198
00:53:26,951 --> 00:53:27,192
there on that block so I do not

3199
00:53:27,192 --> 00:53:29,592
organizations, where you have

3200
00:53:29,985 --> 00:53:30,173
see their property things go

3201
00:53:30,173 --> 00:53:30,883
different wraparound services

3202
00:53:30,883 --> 00:53:31,126
down and then as a track record

3203
00:53:31,126 --> 00:53:31,546
at the table and controlling

3204
00:53:31,546 --> 00:53:33,713
thinking about whether this

3205
00:53:33,713 --> 00:53:34,460
would bring harm to the

3206
00:53:34,460 --> 00:53:36,860
neighborhood, I feel like

3207
00:53:37,343 --> 00:53:37,632
that table for the matter I

3208
00:53:37,632 --> 00:53:37,882
william street and what the

3209
00:53:37,882 --> 00:53:38,479
don't know.

3210
00:53:38,479 --> 00:53:41,340
business that is there right

3211
00:53:41,340 --> 00:53:41,356
I think it's very disappointing

3212
00:53:41,356 --> 00:53:42,421
now, the services they provide

3213
00:53:42,421 --> 00:53:43,180
actually make it part of the

3214
00:53:43,180 --> 00:53:44,516
safest part of that district

3215
00:53:44,516 --> 00:53:45,357
for us to try to implement a

3216
00:53:45,357 --> 00:53:45,683
and I have the confidence that

3217
00:53:45,683 --> 00:53:46,230
you know, the kaseman and the

3218
00:53:46,230 --> 00:53:48,266
property values will not drop

3219
00:53:48,266 --> 00:53:48,593
wraparound services emergency

3220
00:53:48,593 --> 00:53:49,623
relocation.

3221
00:53:49,623 --> 00:53:50,503
and it will increase the safety

3222
00:53:50,503 --> 00:53:52,365
of what is already a problem up

3223
00:53:52,365 --> 00:53:52,661
these are things that I can

3224
00:53:52,661 --> 00:53:53,437
there.

3225
00:53:53,437 --> 00:53:53,790
recall at that at the meeting

3226
00:53:53,790 --> 00:53:56,129
>> so thank you council member

3227
00:53:56,129 --> 00:53:56,352
last may that the current

3228
00:53:56,352 --> 00:53:56,696
parker.

3229
00:53:56,696 --> 00:53:57,477
organization that we're

3230
00:53:57,477 --> 00:53:59,895
contracted with is supposed to

3231
00:53:59,895 --> 00:54:00,172
thank you, mayor.

3232
00:54:00,172 --> 00:54:00,812
be on there hasn't been any

3233
00:54:00,812 --> 00:54:02,812
conversation about that

3234
00:54:03,577 --> 00:54:04,167
organization.

3235
00:54:04,167 --> 00:54:04,168
>> right.

3236
00:54:04,168 --> 00:54:05,332
>> um, and I also want to share

3237
00:54:05,332 --> 00:54:05,678
a few of my thoughts ahead

3238
00:54:05,678 --> 00:54:07,497
of the vote.

3239
00:54:07,497 --> 00:54:08,534
so here it is again.

3240
00:54:08,534 --> 00:54:11,322
it's almost like we're making a

3241
00:54:11,322 --> 00:54:12,512
double investment in services

3242
00:54:12,512 --> 00:54:14,850
at the same time we're saying

3243
00:54:14,850 --> 00:54:17,685
crime is and violence is going

3244
00:54:18,281 --> 00:54:19,310
down.

3245
00:54:19,310 --> 00:54:21,681
yet it seems like we're just

3246
00:54:21,681 --> 00:54:22,240
trying to disperse funds

3247
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:24,240
rapidly.

3248
00:54:26,860 --> 00:54:26,275
it feels like to be able to

3249
00:54:26,275 --> 00:54:26,970
>> I appreciate the thoughts

3250
00:54:26,970 --> 00:54:28,249
address the issue when I can

3251
00:54:28,249 --> 00:54:28,928
shared by council member thomas

3252
00:54:28,928 --> 00:54:30,210
speak firsthand that you can't

3253
00:54:30,210 --> 00:54:30,762
and and also by the appellant's

3254
00:54:30,762 --> 00:54:31,991
the attorney.

3255
00:54:31,991 --> 00:54:32,535
>> I think there are definitely

3256
00:54:32,535 --> 00:54:32,559
throw money at the problem.

3257
00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:32,787
some compelling arguments being

3258
00:54:32,787 --> 00:54:33,660
made.

3259
00:54:33,660 --> 00:54:33,897
you know, when you talk about

3260
00:54:33,897 --> 00:54:34,324
however, for me the arguments

3261
00:54:34,324 --> 00:54:34,948
violence prevention work and

3262
00:54:34,948 --> 00:54:37,950
applied more to the commercial

3263
00:54:37,950 --> 00:54:38,333
community based violence, I've

3264
00:54:38,333 --> 00:54:38,377
highway zoning rather than the

3265
00:54:38,377 --> 00:54:39,286
been able to do it on a street

3266
00:54:39,286 --> 00:54:40,529
standards for evaluating the

3267
00:54:40,529 --> 00:54:41,780
level.

3268
00:54:41,780 --> 00:54:42,364
I've been able to do it on an

3269
00:54:42,364 --> 00:54:44,428
administrative level and I've

3270
00:54:44,428 --> 00:54:45,302
had the fortunate opportunity

3271
00:54:45,302 --> 00:54:46,980
to be elected by my

3272
00:54:46,980 --> 00:54:46,525
constituents to be up here on

3273
00:54:46,525 --> 00:54:47,820
special use.

3274
00:54:47,820 --> 00:54:47,649
council to try to shape the

3275
00:54:47,649 --> 00:54:48,943
>> the comments that have been

3276
00:54:48,943 --> 00:54:50,360
different policy that we need

3277
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:50,824
so we can move forward with a

3278
00:54:50,824 --> 00:54:52,620
provided about this location

3279
00:54:52,620 --> 00:54:53,640
better process.

3280
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:53,812
that conversation needs to be

3281
00:54:53,812 --> 00:54:55,393
have been very thoughtful and I

3282
00:54:55,393 --> 00:54:56,734
had.

3283
00:54:56,734 --> 00:54:57,510
it needs to be it needs to be

3284
00:54:57,510 --> 00:54:58,389
believe they are deserving

3285
00:54:58,389 --> 00:54:59,518
of consideration but for me

3286
00:54:59,518 --> 00:55:00,659
had very, very soon.

3287
00:55:00,659 --> 00:55:04,256
if not we will have a problem

3288
00:55:04,256 --> 00:55:05,637
on our hands and so we have to

3289
00:55:05,637 --> 00:55:06,698
they were not convincing enough

3290
00:55:06,698 --> 00:55:07,664
for me to move in that

3291
00:55:07,664 --> 00:55:09,880
stop putting bandaids on guns.

3292
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,330
direction to council member

3293
00:55:11,330 --> 00:55:12,396
>> a 15 year old just shot a

3294
00:55:12,396 --> 00:55:13,677
self about thirty minutes ago I

3295
00:55:13,677 --> 00:55:14,534
thomas's point there is a

3296
00:55:14,534 --> 00:55:15,189
growing mission district in

3297
00:55:15,189 --> 00:55:17,432
got a text message stop and go.

3298
00:55:17,432 --> 00:55:18,940
this area and is not one that

3299
00:55:18,940 --> 00:55:21,340
fifty road shootings, violence

3300
00:55:21,553 --> 00:55:22,603
has happened on accident.

3301
00:55:22,603 --> 00:55:22,837
>> it's an area that has been

3302
00:55:22,837 --> 00:55:23,506
in our community to me I think

3303
00:55:23,506 --> 00:55:24,496
it's important it's important

3304
00:55:24,496 --> 00:55:25,809
that we address it the right

3305
00:55:25,809 --> 00:55:26,777
that was previously used or

3306
00:55:26,777 --> 00:55:27,320
maybe continues to be used by

3307
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,155
way and I just don't feel like

3308
00:55:30,155 --> 00:55:30,816
the county for, you know,

3309
00:55:30,816 --> 00:55:33,459
the way the city is going about

3310
00:55:33,459 --> 00:55:33,786
hotels, motels, space for those

3311
00:55:33,786 --> 00:55:34,924
it is the right way.

3312
00:55:34,924 --> 00:55:35,379
>> but I just wanted to get

3313
00:55:35,379 --> 00:55:37,670
that on record.

3314
00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:38,300
recovering from, you know,

3315
00:55:38,300 --> 00:55:38,422
infectious diseases and it was

3316
00:55:38,422 --> 00:55:39,550
we have to do better.

3317
00:55:39,550 --> 00:55:41,100
we have to stop putting a

3318
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:42,533
certainly used during the

3319
00:55:42,533 --> 00:55:43,300
band-aid on the process and if

3320
00:55:43,300 --> 00:55:44,525
not it's going to be

3321
00:55:44,525 --> 00:55:45,278
pandemic and that's why we have

3322
00:55:45,278 --> 00:55:45,805
this growing population

3323
00:55:45,805 --> 00:55:46,864
detrimental to us as a city.

3324
00:55:46,864 --> 00:55:48,854
we will see violence go back up

3325
00:55:48,854 --> 00:55:49,715
of folks in the area that

3326
00:55:49,715 --> 00:55:49,852
weren't there previously or at

3327
00:55:49,852 --> 00:55:50,930
if we don't continue to do it

3328
00:55:50,930 --> 00:55:52,930
better.

3329
00:55:52,608 --> 00:55:53,940
thank you.

3330
00:55:53,940 --> 00:55:56,333
least one of the reasons why.

3331
00:55:56,333 --> 00:55:56,548
and so it is something that we

3332
00:55:56,548 --> 00:55:57,402
>> council member parker.

3333
00:55:57,402 --> 00:56:00,920
have to acknowledge as a city

3334
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:00,484
if if if we have leaned on the

3335
00:56:00,484 --> 00:56:00,964
thank you, mayor.

3336
00:56:00,964 --> 00:56:03,964
hotel motel services in that

3337
00:56:04,452 --> 00:56:05,237
area to service a certain

3338
00:56:05,237 --> 00:56:05,324
we we are learning more about

3339
00:56:05,324 --> 00:56:08,324
community that we know need

3340
00:56:11,137 --> 00:56:11,659
other services, it is our

3341
00:56:11,659 --> 00:56:11,902
these grant processes than we

3342
00:56:11,902 --> 00:56:12,413
responsibility to ensure that

3343
00:56:12,413 --> 00:56:13,650
have previously and I

3344
00:56:13,650 --> 00:56:14,871
appreciate the additional

3345
00:56:14,871 --> 00:56:15,629
those services are then

3346
00:56:15,629 --> 00:56:16,110
information.

3347
00:56:16,110 --> 00:56:19,185
provided and care cuts is one

3348
00:56:19,185 --> 00:56:20,590
of those services in my opinion

3349
00:56:20,590 --> 00:56:20,800
like the other speakers have

3350
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,569
one aspect of the program that

3351
00:56:23,569 --> 00:56:24,540
was just described though the

3352
00:56:24,540 --> 00:56:26,485
raise some concerns for me.

3353
00:56:26,485 --> 00:56:27,251
said, I don't believe this

3354
00:56:27,251 --> 00:56:28,530
service with lower property

3355
00:56:28,530 --> 00:56:29,850
um, the weekly meetings and the

3356
00:56:29,850 --> 00:56:30,512
values in the area or the

3357
00:56:30,512 --> 00:56:32,912
neighborhood but would only

3358
00:56:33,594 --> 00:56:34,654
bring a much needed service

3359
00:56:34,654 --> 00:56:35,375
that hopefully would help to

3360
00:56:35,375 --> 00:56:36,331
support and the conversations

3361
00:56:36,331 --> 00:56:38,250
it depends on what these

3362
00:56:38,250 --> 00:56:38,717
improve the area, help to

3363
00:56:38,717 --> 00:56:39,941
conversations look like.

3364
00:56:39,941 --> 00:56:42,284
you know, I've done a lot

3365
00:56:42,284 --> 00:56:42,709
provide some structure and a

3366
00:56:42,709 --> 00:56:43,185
of work around education,

3367
00:56:43,185 --> 00:56:43,364
place for folks to go so that

3368
00:56:43,364 --> 00:56:45,764
justice and around school

3369
00:56:46,161 --> 00:56:46,741
they're not lingering in that

3370
00:56:46,741 --> 00:56:46,826
discipline issues and one

3371
00:56:46,826 --> 00:56:47,600
situation but they're actually

3372
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,796
of the concerns when it comes

3373
00:56:49,796 --> 00:56:50,120
moving forward towards housing

3374
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:51,235
.

3375
00:56:51,235 --> 00:56:53,629
that's the purpose of a service

3376
00:56:53,629 --> 00:56:54,160
to school discipline is um,

3377
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:54,795
like haircut's is provide those

3378
00:56:54,795 --> 00:56:54,888
wanting to avoid creating a

3379
00:56:54,888 --> 00:56:57,888
needed services but also help

3380
00:56:58,263 --> 00:56:58,395
move folks forward in life

3381
00:56:58,395 --> 00:56:59,611
stigma around the child so one

3382
00:56:59,611 --> 00:57:01,974
forward towards housing forward

3383
00:57:01,974 --> 00:57:02,925
teacher may have an experience,

3384
00:57:02,925 --> 00:57:04,640
may have some disciplinary

3385
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:05,810
um, so I'm in support of this.

3386
00:57:05,810 --> 00:57:07,481
issues with the child.

3387
00:57:08,770 --> 00:57:08,936
I am also devastated to see

3388
00:57:08,936 --> 00:57:11,336
clearcuts leave downtown the

3389
00:57:12,524 --> 00:57:13,617
absolute devastated um you will

3390
00:57:13,617 --> 00:57:14,194
um, well what we want to avoid

3391
00:57:14,194 --> 00:57:16,320
is a situation where that

3392
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:17,288
serve a new population that

3393
00:57:17,288 --> 00:57:17,943
teacher been in the third grade

3394
00:57:17,943 --> 00:57:19,919
teacher now they're gossiping

3395
00:57:19,919 --> 00:57:20,723
needs you but I know there were

3396
00:57:20,723 --> 00:57:20,903
with the fourth grade teacher.

3397
00:57:20,903 --> 00:57:21,468
going to be people sad to see

3398
00:57:21,468 --> 00:57:21,869
you go as well.

3399
00:57:21,869 --> 00:57:23,709
now when that child goes off to

3400
00:57:23,709 --> 00:57:24,448
we need you in both places

3401
00:57:24,448 --> 00:57:24,687
is how I feel.

3402
00:57:24,687 --> 00:57:25,592
fourth grade, that teacher

3403
00:57:25,592 --> 00:57:28,265
but I do believe that this

3404
00:57:28,265 --> 00:57:28,475
needs the standards for a

3405
00:57:28,475 --> 00:57:28,607
is expecting certain behavior

3406
00:57:28,607 --> 00:57:30,607
special use.

3407
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:32,137
and it almost creates this the

3408
00:57:32,137 --> 00:57:33,133
but I think that these issues

3409
00:57:33,133 --> 00:57:33,193
stigma or you know, the student

3410
00:57:33,193 --> 00:57:35,965
of how we're using our highway

3411
00:57:35,965 --> 00:57:36,119
commercials should be

3412
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:38,519
gets labeled and potentially

3413
00:57:39,539 --> 00:57:39,653
doesn't get that fair chance

3414
00:57:39,653 --> 00:57:40,299
considered, you know, in the

3415
00:57:40,299 --> 00:57:40,490
future discussions because

3416
00:57:40,490 --> 00:57:43,490
and I'm worried about that

3417
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:43,775
these services do make more

3418
00:57:43,775 --> 00:57:44,252
happening in this situation

3419
00:57:44,252 --> 00:57:44,648
sense in these walkable

3420
00:57:44,648 --> 00:57:44,894
with how we're defining the

3421
00:57:44,894 --> 00:57:45,140
youth.

3422
00:57:45,140 --> 00:57:47,399
communities that we are

3423
00:57:47,399 --> 00:57:48,170
developing throughout the city

3424
00:57:48,170 --> 00:57:50,417
um, and what kind

3425
00:57:50,998 --> 00:57:51,750
and we don't want to only zone

3426
00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:52,140
them for highway, commercial,

3427
00:57:52,140 --> 00:57:54,540
of confidentiality and privacy

3428
00:57:55,129 --> 00:57:56,443
regional commercial five acre

3429
00:57:56,443 --> 00:57:59,319
are we adhering to as they are

3430
00:57:59,319 --> 00:57:59,346
given access to, you know,

3431
00:57:59,346 --> 00:58:00,312
large institutional plots like

3432
00:58:00,312 --> 00:58:02,695
that is our responsibility to

3433
00:58:02,695 --> 00:58:03,200
various services and forms

3434
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:03,593
of therapy?

3435
00:58:03,593 --> 00:58:04,331
to relook at our zoning code.

3436
00:58:04,331 --> 00:58:04,532
um, I think these are much

3437
00:58:04,532 --> 00:58:07,910
we're going to be going through

3438
00:58:07,910 --> 00:58:07,520
it soon and take into

3439
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,120
needed but I am a little

3440
00:58:11,302 --> 00:58:11,305
concerned about how a more

3441
00:58:11,305 --> 00:58:11,875
consideration what is best for

3442
00:58:11,875 --> 00:58:14,275
these services moving forward.

3443
00:58:15,850 --> 00:58:15,119
collective approach might give

3444
00:58:15,119 --> 00:58:15,784
and I do believe they need to

3445
00:58:15,784 --> 00:58:18,184
be in walkable communities.

3446
00:58:18,321 --> 00:58:19,401
but for this issue today I do

3447
00:58:19,401 --> 00:58:19,812
believe that it does meet the

3448
00:58:19,812 --> 00:58:20,573
great support to the adults who

3449
00:58:20,573 --> 00:58:22,389
are leading these efforts.

3450
00:58:22,389 --> 00:58:22,622
standards plan to vote in

3451
00:58:22,622 --> 00:58:23,122
favor.

3452
00:58:23,122 --> 00:58:23,423
thank you.

3453
00:58:23,423 --> 00:58:24,380
but I worry about the the

3454
00:58:24,380 --> 00:58:26,247
private kissi concerns for that

3455
00:58:26,247 --> 00:58:27,460
council member thomas.

3456
00:58:27,460 --> 00:58:27,774
yes, thank you.

3457
00:58:27,774 --> 00:58:28,430
child, the stigma that can

3458
00:58:28,430 --> 00:58:30,385
surround that child especially

3459
00:58:30,385 --> 00:58:30,731
council member for your

3460
00:58:30,731 --> 00:58:31,618
thoughtful comments.

3461
00:58:31,618 --> 00:58:31,846
in uh, a small community like

3462
00:58:31,846 --> 00:58:33,265
knoxville.

3463
00:58:33,265 --> 00:58:34,143
I appreciate that one general

3464
00:58:34,143 --> 00:58:35,494
comment and I will be very

3465
00:58:35,494 --> 00:58:36,931
um, so if you wouldn't mind

3466
00:58:36,931 --> 00:58:37,887
brief one general comment

3467
00:58:37,887 --> 00:58:39,517
is that there's kind of two

3468
00:58:39,517 --> 00:58:40,385
sharing more about that aspect

3469
00:58:40,385 --> 00:58:40,626
of the work, I'd love hearing

3470
00:58:40,626 --> 00:58:40,924
it.

3471
00:58:40,924 --> 00:58:41,892
yeah.

3472
00:58:41,892 --> 00:58:42,968
schools of thought about where

3473
00:58:42,968 --> 00:58:43,150
the un house should be located

3474
00:58:43,150 --> 00:58:44,132
so for clarity with regards to

3475
00:58:44,132 --> 00:58:45,550
this service contract and the

3476
00:58:45,550 --> 00:58:47,819
and how they should be

3477
00:58:47,819 --> 00:58:48,861
nets that you hear, they are

3478
00:58:48,861 --> 00:58:50,830
administered to and helped and

3479
00:58:50,830 --> 00:58:51,132
contracts for for direct

3480
00:58:51,132 --> 00:58:52,211
services as is most of us know

3481
00:58:52,211 --> 00:58:52,639
the city doesn't do a lot

3482
00:58:52,639 --> 00:58:54,477
one of them is to disperse the

3483
00:58:54,477 --> 00:58:55,570
of direct services and so we

3484
00:58:55,570 --> 00:58:56,855
connect with organizations who

3485
00:58:56,855 --> 00:58:57,564
different helping agencies into

3486
00:58:57,564 --> 00:58:57,830
are doing that work in our

3487
00:58:57,830 --> 00:58:58,304
different parts of the city and

3488
00:58:58,304 --> 00:59:00,304
community primarily the

3489
00:59:01,127 --> 00:59:02,287
that's that's a valid school.

3490
00:59:02,287 --> 00:59:02,366
participant in these services

3491
00:59:02,366 --> 00:59:02,848
I thought there another school

3492
00:59:02,848 --> 00:59:05,248
are not young people.

3493
00:59:05,347 --> 00:59:05,976
of thought is that you keep it

3494
00:59:05,976 --> 00:59:06,916
most of them are young adults,

3495
00:59:06,916 --> 00:59:09,143
middle adults, older adults

3496
00:59:09,143 --> 00:59:09,898
kind of where they have access

3497
00:59:09,898 --> 00:59:11,117
sometimes.

3498
00:59:11,117 --> 00:59:12,754
so it is not specific to young

3499
00:59:12,754 --> 00:59:13,827
to services and the services

3500
00:59:13,827 --> 00:59:14,293
are in such a proximity that

3501
00:59:14,293 --> 00:59:15,710
people all the providers that

3502
00:59:15,710 --> 00:59:17,160
are currently in our provider

3503
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:17,836
they can actually serve each

3504
00:59:17,836 --> 00:59:17,877
network and it is a growing

3505
00:59:17,877 --> 00:59:20,244
other better because you have

3506
00:59:20,244 --> 00:59:20,808
cities that's kind of what

3507
00:59:20,808 --> 00:59:21,414
ecosystem of providers who can

3508
00:59:21,414 --> 00:59:21,669
we've had I think up on

3509
00:59:21,669 --> 00:59:23,980
engage and effectively support

3510
00:59:23,980 --> 00:59:25,770
broadway.

3511
00:59:25,770 --> 00:59:25,121
the populations that we are

3512
00:59:25,121 --> 00:59:25,631
so you would have calm you have

3513
00:59:25,631 --> 00:59:27,631
looking to serve.

3514
00:59:28,117 --> 00:59:28,878
salvation army etc. So those

3515
00:59:28,878 --> 00:59:29,121
are two valid schools

3516
00:59:29,121 --> 00:59:29,162
of thought.

3517
00:59:29,162 --> 00:59:32,520
all of them are in agreement

3518
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:32,655
what's happening here

3519
00:59:32,655 --> 00:59:32,810
with our confidentiality

3520
00:59:32,810 --> 00:59:33,607
is because of the closing

3521
00:59:33,607 --> 00:59:36,700
policies where the discussions

3522
00:59:36,191 --> 00:59:37,205
of black stock as I mentioned

3523
00:59:37,205 --> 00:59:40,110
that happen in the coordination

3524
00:59:40,110 --> 00:59:40,881
is that population went from

3525
00:59:40,881 --> 00:59:41,307
downtown north to merchants

3526
00:59:41,307 --> 00:59:44,714
meetings are for the group and

3527
00:59:44,714 --> 00:59:44,783
do not extend beyond that and

3528
00:59:44,783 --> 00:59:45,454
road in my district and the

3529
00:59:45,454 --> 00:59:45,688
neighbors and the businesses up

3530
00:59:45,688 --> 00:59:47,221
as individuals enroll in

3531
00:59:47,221 --> 00:59:49,710
there have been confronted with

3532
00:59:49,710 --> 00:59:51,710
participation with different

3533
00:59:52,220 --> 00:59:53,780
this situation that they

3534
00:59:53,780 --> 00:59:53,260
weren't used to and there's

3535
00:59:53,260 --> 00:59:54,310
providers they each provider

3536
00:59:54,310 --> 00:59:56,398
has their own releases

3537
00:59:56,398 --> 00:59:57,700
of information that allowed

3538
00:59:57,700 --> 00:59:58,892
them to coordinate services or

3539
00:59:58,892 --> 00:59:59,942
lots of valid concerns so I

3540
00:59:59,942 --> 01:00:00,247
just wanted to kind of make

3541
01:00:00,247 --> 01:00:01,240
care among other providers that

3542
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:02,829
they may be working with.

3543
01:00:02,829 --> 01:00:03,879
that general statement about

3544
01:00:03,879 --> 01:00:03,883
how there are two schools

3545
01:00:03,883 --> 01:00:04,744
and so we are very thoughtful

3546
01:00:04,744 --> 01:00:04,840
of thought and both of them

3547
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:05,518
to adhering to the privacy

3548
01:00:05,518 --> 01:00:07,534
concerns for individuals that

3549
01:00:07,534 --> 01:00:08,397
have legitimate say about you

3550
01:00:08,397 --> 01:00:08,419
know, you want to disperse

3551
01:00:08,419 --> 01:00:09,103
are participating but it allows

3552
01:00:09,103 --> 01:00:09,850
an opportunity for folks who

3553
01:00:09,850 --> 01:00:11,184
may be serving these

3554
01:00:11,184 --> 01:00:11,972
services throughout the city

3555
01:00:11,972 --> 01:00:14,958
where things will be fair and

3556
01:00:14,958 --> 01:00:16,136
no particular neighborhood will

3557
01:00:16,136 --> 01:00:19,517
have to bear the brunt of a

3558
01:00:19,517 --> 01:00:20,376
large on house population and

3559
01:00:20,376 --> 01:00:23,356
the other one is have more

3560
01:00:23,356 --> 01:00:24,110
central locations where you can

3561
01:00:24,110 --> 01:00:26,510
actually provide these services

3562
01:00:27,860 --> 01:00:29,860
more effectively.

3563
01:00:30,890 --> 01:00:30,762
individuals to identify gaps in

3564
01:00:30,762 --> 01:00:31,370
services and coordinate with

3565
01:00:31,370 --> 01:00:31,632
>> what is happening here

3566
01:00:31,632 --> 01:00:32,403
other providers to ensure that

3567
01:00:32,403 --> 01:00:33,750
care is coordinated, that we

3568
01:00:33,750 --> 01:00:33,860
are not missing opportunities

3569
01:00:33,860 --> 01:00:34,726
to serve or sometimes even

3570
01:00:34,726 --> 01:00:35,464
double serving in places and

3571
01:00:35,464 --> 01:00:35,497
is that merchants road and the

3572
01:00:35,497 --> 01:00:36,497
then leaving gaps and others

3573
01:00:36,497 --> 01:00:37,158
and so a lot of the folks who

3574
01:00:37,158 --> 01:00:38,240
these organizations are

3575
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:38,697
engaging with are actually

3576
01:00:38,697 --> 01:00:38,882
adults who can make those

3577
01:00:38,882 --> 01:00:39,275
fifth district my district has

3578
01:00:39,275 --> 01:00:39,838
determinations and sign those

3579
01:00:39,838 --> 01:00:40,430
releases for themselves and

3580
01:00:40,430 --> 01:00:40,417
been taking the brunt of this

3581
01:00:40,417 --> 01:00:41,420
they can talk more.

3582
01:00:41,420 --> 01:00:41,975
the organizations are here.

3583
01:00:41,975 --> 01:00:42,650
they can talk more about what

3584
01:00:42,650 --> 01:00:43,323
their processes are for sure

3585
01:00:43,323 --> 01:00:43,425
and confidentiality and privacy

3586
01:00:43,425 --> 01:00:44,790
relocation of un housed people

3587
01:00:44,790 --> 01:00:45,224
for their clients.

3588
01:00:45,224 --> 01:00:46,833
and then as a follow up

3589
01:00:46,833 --> 01:00:48,398
and what I want to ask my

3590
01:00:48,398 --> 01:00:50,243
question, none of the

3591
01:00:50,243 --> 01:00:51,378
colleagues to do for my

3592
01:00:51,378 --> 01:00:52,346
individuals who receive these

3593
01:00:52,346 --> 01:00:54,250
services and end up being

3594
01:00:54,250 --> 01:00:54,895
district this is your this

3595
01:00:54,895 --> 01:00:55,339
is not your district.

3596
01:00:55,339 --> 01:00:55,496
clients of connect ministries,

3597
01:00:55,496 --> 01:00:57,496
I get that.

3598
01:00:58,126 --> 01:00:58,841
none of that information

3599
01:00:58,841 --> 01:00:59,190
but I I'm really going to need

3600
01:00:59,190 --> 01:01:01,190
your help.

3601
01:01:02,570 --> 01:01:02,944
I can't do it myself and this

3602
01:01:02,944 --> 01:01:03,300
is shared with kapiti correct?

3603
01:01:03,300 --> 01:01:03,437
my district is bearing the

3604
01:01:03,437 --> 01:01:05,437
correct.

3605
01:01:06,375 --> 01:01:06,391
brunt of this this movement

3606
01:01:06,391 --> 01:01:07,430
their their private information

3607
01:01:07,430 --> 01:01:07,805
is retained as private

3608
01:01:07,805 --> 01:01:10,205
information by the organization

3609
01:01:10,575 --> 01:01:10,817
is shared with provider

3610
01:01:10,817 --> 01:01:11,656
networks.

3611
01:01:11,656 --> 01:01:12,193
the law enforcement does not

3612
01:01:12,193 --> 01:01:13,490
of un housed individuals and to

3613
01:01:13,490 --> 01:01:14,234
the extent of any other

3614
01:01:14,234 --> 01:01:14,680
participate in a service

3615
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:15,401
provider network.

3616
01:01:15,401 --> 01:01:16,653
it's solely for service

3617
01:01:16,653 --> 01:01:18,169
district and so it's not fair

3618
01:01:18,169 --> 01:01:18,509
providers in city of knoxville

3619
01:01:18,509 --> 01:01:19,100
.

3620
01:01:19,100 --> 01:01:19,502
that's perfect.

3621
01:01:19,502 --> 01:01:20,860
thank you.

3622
01:01:20,860 --> 01:01:21,427
to allow this situation to

3623
01:01:21,427 --> 01:01:23,427
ok, thank you.

3624
01:01:24,437 --> 01:01:25,996
happen in one particular

3625
01:01:25,996 --> 01:01:27,274
just a just a little context

3626
01:01:27,274 --> 01:01:28,170
for those of you who are newer

3627
01:01:28,170 --> 01:01:28,879
district without offering as

3628
01:01:28,879 --> 01:01:29,337
much help as you can.

3629
01:01:29,337 --> 01:01:30,408
to council is you know when we

3630
01:01:30,408 --> 01:01:32,986
had a surge in violence in

3631
01:01:32,986 --> 01:01:35,282
twenty twenty in twenty twenty

3632
01:01:35,282 --> 01:01:36,236
so if this passes I'm going to

3633
01:01:36,236 --> 01:01:36,995
encourage my colleagues to do

3634
01:01:36,995 --> 01:01:37,744
one we at the time had limited

3635
01:01:37,744 --> 01:01:39,923
tools mostly law enforcement

3636
01:01:39,923 --> 01:01:40,598
whatever they can to have that

3637
01:01:40,598 --> 01:01:41,853
understanding even if it's not

3638
01:01:41,853 --> 01:01:42,494
and we realized that we needed

3639
01:01:42,494 --> 01:01:43,677
community based interventions

3640
01:01:43,677 --> 01:01:44,772
in your district, you know we

3641
01:01:44,772 --> 01:01:45,870
are going to need help from law

3642
01:01:45,870 --> 01:01:45,945
not just law enforcement to

3643
01:01:45,945 --> 01:01:46,180
reduce the violence in our

3644
01:01:46,180 --> 01:01:47,101
city.

3645
01:01:47,101 --> 01:01:47,456
so we started the office

3646
01:01:47,456 --> 01:01:49,456
enforcement, from social

3647
01:01:49,462 --> 01:01:50,117
of community safety later that

3648
01:01:50,117 --> 01:01:50,867
was consolidated with the

3649
01:01:50,867 --> 01:01:51,439
office of community safety and

3650
01:01:51,439 --> 01:01:53,446
services, from the the homeless

3651
01:01:53,446 --> 01:01:54,212
empowerment and then we worked

3652
01:01:54,212 --> 01:01:54,818
on the various group violence

3653
01:01:54,818 --> 01:01:57,191
entities, aaron reed, everybody

3654
01:01:57,191 --> 01:01:58,412
reduction strategies, street

3655
01:01:58,412 --> 01:01:59,962
anybody we can because this

3656
01:01:59,962 --> 01:02:00,811
violence and eruption teams and

3657
01:02:00,811 --> 01:02:02,426
community based services the

3658
01:02:02,426 --> 01:02:03,305
is happening up there and the

3659
01:02:03,305 --> 01:02:04,305
neighbors can see it and they

3660
01:02:04,305 --> 01:02:05,292
project tlc but but the one

3661
01:02:05,292 --> 01:02:08,675
thing that has been, you know,

3662
01:02:08,675 --> 01:02:09,341
taken some time to develop and

3663
01:02:09,341 --> 01:02:09,552
can see the the the ambiance

3664
01:02:09,552 --> 01:02:11,322
mature is the you know, the

3665
01:02:11,322 --> 01:02:12,447
sticks are the easy part.

3666
01:02:12,447 --> 01:02:13,332
you know, we catch you we

3667
01:02:13,332 --> 01:02:13,416
and circumstances and I guess

3668
01:02:13,416 --> 01:02:15,775
prosecute, put you in jail if

3669
01:02:15,775 --> 01:02:16,110
you if guilty of a crime, you

3670
01:02:16,110 --> 01:02:17,112
know.

3671
01:02:17,112 --> 01:02:18,510
the nature of their communities

3672
01:02:18,510 --> 01:02:19,867
and their business is changing

3673
01:02:19,867 --> 01:02:20,837
so when we bring when we know

3674
01:02:20,837 --> 01:02:21,436
identify people who are at risk

3675
01:02:21,436 --> 01:02:23,824
because of a larger influx

3676
01:02:23,824 --> 01:02:24,590
of committing violence or being

3677
01:02:24,590 --> 01:02:25,428
a victim of violence, we want

3678
01:02:25,428 --> 01:02:25,699
of very needy citizens.

3679
01:02:25,699 --> 01:02:27,657
them to not just have a stick

3680
01:02:27,657 --> 01:02:29,200
but carrot and these item

3681
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:30,176
so I just want to I guess put

3682
01:02:30,176 --> 01:02:30,652
that on the record that since

3683
01:02:30,652 --> 01:02:31,540
twelve g and h are those

3684
01:02:31,540 --> 01:02:33,146
carrots so we can say you want

3685
01:02:33,146 --> 01:02:34,311
the fifth district is now going

3686
01:02:34,311 --> 01:02:34,717
to start has been taking the

3687
01:02:34,717 --> 01:02:35,922
to get out of a life of crime

3688
01:02:35,922 --> 01:02:37,909
but you need a safe place to go

3689
01:02:37,909 --> 01:02:38,779
brunt of of this situation, I'm

3690
01:02:38,779 --> 01:02:38,916
going to be asking for

3691
01:02:38,916 --> 01:02:39,680
because you feel vulnerable in

3692
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,676
your current house or maybe

3693
01:02:41,676 --> 01:02:41,972
everybody's help and you know,

3694
01:02:41,972 --> 01:02:43,460
your own house can you know

3695
01:02:43,460 --> 01:02:43,821
this provider can help you with

3696
01:02:43,821 --> 01:02:45,272
that you're you've been

3697
01:02:45,272 --> 01:02:45,823
I'll just make some personal

3698
01:02:45,823 --> 01:02:46,398
notes here.

3699
01:02:46,398 --> 01:02:46,661
involved illegal activities

3700
01:02:46,661 --> 01:02:47,364
I just because different people

3701
01:02:47,364 --> 01:02:49,428
because you're short on money

3702
01:02:49,428 --> 01:02:50,956
up here share different things

3703
01:02:50,956 --> 01:02:51,855
connected to maybe get you

3704
01:02:51,855 --> 01:02:53,227
house you know, help with rent,

3705
01:02:53,227 --> 01:02:53,808
you know, I worked in guatemala

3706
01:02:53,808 --> 01:02:54,420
help with the job training to

3707
01:02:54,420 --> 01:02:54,558
city for over two years and the

3708
01:02:54,558 --> 01:02:54,785
you know, those sorts

3709
01:02:54,785 --> 01:02:56,785
of things.

3710
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:57,236
garbage dump and these were

3711
01:02:57,236 --> 01:02:57,787
so it's it's not just like stop

3712
01:02:57,787 --> 01:02:58,119
people who were making their

3713
01:02:58,119 --> 01:02:58,986
doing this or else you know,

3714
01:02:58,986 --> 01:03:00,350
you're either going to you

3715
01:03:00,350 --> 01:03:01,324
living out of the garbage dump

3716
01:03:01,324 --> 01:03:01,965
and I saw people who were

3717
01:03:01,965 --> 01:03:02,303
know, face criminal

3718
01:03:02,303 --> 01:03:03,130
prosecution.

3719
01:03:03,130 --> 01:03:05,501
we wanted to offer those

3720
01:03:05,501 --> 01:03:06,362
carrots so the item twelve

3721
01:03:06,362 --> 01:03:07,966
is the connect ministry case

3722
01:03:07,966 --> 01:03:08,944
searching for food in the midst

3723
01:03:08,944 --> 01:03:09,542
of buzzard's there was hundreds

3724
01:03:09,542 --> 01:03:10,197
case manager to help people

3725
01:03:10,197 --> 01:03:11,925
with these wraparound social

3726
01:03:11,925 --> 01:03:12,674
of people and hundreds

3727
01:03:12,674 --> 01:03:13,500
of buzzards actually trash

3728
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:14,461
services and then the next item

3729
01:03:14,461 --> 01:03:15,900
is help with, you know,

3730
01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:16,459
cognitive behavioral therapy

3731
01:03:16,459 --> 01:03:17,587
picking and competing to live.

3732
01:03:17,587 --> 01:03:17,592
and other things and they're

3733
01:03:17,592 --> 01:03:18,151
so I don't want anybody to

3734
01:03:18,151 --> 01:03:18,917
both contracts that are

3735
01:03:18,917 --> 01:03:20,990
invoiced and you know, they're

3736
01:03:20,990 --> 01:03:22,500
think that I was born on city

3737
01:03:22,500 --> 01:03:22,355
up to the amount that you're

3738
01:03:22,355 --> 01:03:23,402
approving tonight.

3739
01:03:23,402 --> 01:03:23,490
so it's not like we just hand

3740
01:03:23,490 --> 01:03:24,525
council or born as a lawyer.

3741
01:03:24,525 --> 01:03:25,660
but I know this community, you

3742
01:03:25,660 --> 01:03:25,885
them over the money.

3743
01:03:25,885 --> 01:03:27,409
they'll receive referrals and

3744
01:03:27,409 --> 01:03:28,252
know, so anything I'm

3745
01:03:28,252 --> 01:03:29,478
advocating is not at all

3746
01:03:29,478 --> 01:03:30,233
then build a city based on the

3747
01:03:30,233 --> 01:03:31,831
amount of money available per

3748
01:03:31,831 --> 01:03:31,918
carlist I totally get it.

3749
01:03:31,918 --> 01:03:32,455
these agreements that you're

3750
01:03:32,455 --> 01:03:33,710
considering tonight.

3751
01:03:33,710 --> 01:03:35,753
what I'm trying to do is do

3752
01:03:35,753 --> 01:03:36,409
something fair for the

3753
01:03:36,409 --> 01:03:37,355
council member grant got a

3754
01:03:37,355 --> 01:03:39,551
question on a couple

3755
01:03:39,551 --> 01:03:40,525
community and also lessen the

3756
01:03:40,525 --> 01:03:42,925
of statements for director

3757
01:03:43,740 --> 01:03:44,311
impact on on healthy

3758
01:03:44,311 --> 01:03:45,438
middlebrook.

3759
01:03:45,438 --> 01:03:47,522
can you define case management

3760
01:03:47,522 --> 01:03:48,289
communities and help businesses

3761
01:03:48,289 --> 01:03:48,951
which is unfairly being levied.

3762
01:03:48,951 --> 01:03:51,932
for me and then we can you

3763
01:03:51,932 --> 01:03:52,255
thank council member housley.

3764
01:03:52,255 --> 01:03:52,549
define life coaching and can

3765
01:03:52,549 --> 01:03:53,110
thank you mayor.

3766
01:03:53,110 --> 01:03:55,411
you distinguish the difference

3767
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:56,387
I just like to say I don't know

3768
01:03:56,387 --> 01:03:56,691
between the two?

3769
01:03:56,691 --> 01:03:59,460
how we know where homeless

3770
01:03:59,460 --> 01:04:00,290
people came from.

3771
01:04:00,290 --> 01:04:00,397
>> so life coaching involves

3772
01:04:00,397 --> 01:04:00,795
they if they came from I

3773
01:04:00,795 --> 01:04:02,775
direct services that could

3774
01:04:02,775 --> 01:04:03,648
thought maybe they did um but I

3775
01:04:03,648 --> 01:04:04,910
think all parts of town have

3776
01:04:04,910 --> 01:04:05,720
mirror in some regards case

3777
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:06,341
management but it's much more

3778
01:04:06,341 --> 01:04:07,301
issues with homeless people

3779
01:04:07,301 --> 01:04:07,959
live in south nashville and

3780
01:04:07,959 --> 01:04:08,650
there's a lot of homeless

3781
01:04:08,650 --> 01:04:08,732
broad so your life coaches are

3782
01:04:08,732 --> 01:04:09,493
typically engaging with

3783
01:04:09,493 --> 01:04:10,441
individuals multiple times a

3784
01:04:10,441 --> 01:04:11,585
people on south knoxville.

3785
01:04:11,585 --> 01:04:11,881
>> um, I think in the meantime

3786
01:04:11,881 --> 01:04:12,457
week having at least one

3787
01:04:12,457 --> 01:04:12,556
I think the criteria has been

3788
01:04:12,556 --> 01:04:14,615
in-person contact with them and

3789
01:04:14,615 --> 01:04:15,238
met for this appeal.

3790
01:04:15,238 --> 01:04:18,192
they are helping to connect

3791
01:04:18,192 --> 01:04:19,270
however, I feel like as a city

3792
01:04:19,270 --> 01:04:19,163
them to resources and services

3793
01:04:19,163 --> 01:04:19,868
we just have to do something.

3794
01:04:19,868 --> 01:04:20,379
that they may need.

3795
01:04:20,379 --> 01:04:22,331
it's not just in one part

3796
01:04:22,331 --> 01:04:23,365
of town.

3797
01:04:23,365 --> 01:04:23,508
so they do have the mission

3798
01:04:23,508 --> 01:04:24,125
but sometimes it is not even

3799
01:04:24,125 --> 01:04:24,278
district downtown which does

3800
01:04:24,278 --> 01:04:24,509
connecting to resources and

3801
01:04:24,509 --> 01:04:25,340
services.

3802
01:04:25,340 --> 01:04:25,683
sometimes it's just being a

3803
01:04:25,683 --> 01:04:26,301
listening ear.

3804
01:04:26,301 --> 01:04:26,884
serve people but the ones in

3805
01:04:26,884 --> 01:04:27,780
it's being a safe place.

3806
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:27,816
the other parts don't have

3807
01:04:27,816 --> 01:04:30,601
it's being somewhere that they

3808
01:04:30,601 --> 01:04:33,601
can build a relationship and

3809
01:04:34,199 --> 01:04:35,590
connection in a meaningful way

3810
01:04:35,590 --> 01:04:35,512
that helps them feel more

3811
01:04:35,512 --> 01:04:37,512
comfortable engaging services

3812
01:04:38,193 --> 01:04:38,853
in a lot of times the life

3813
01:04:38,853 --> 01:04:41,253
coaches actually walk alongside

3814
01:04:41,417 --> 01:04:41,852
them to engage with other

3815
01:04:41,852 --> 01:04:43,852
service providers.

3816
01:04:45,622 --> 01:04:46,676
so one example that I can give

3817
01:04:46,676 --> 01:04:47,520
is that life coaches for not

3818
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:48,348
service in are still there.

3819
01:04:48,348 --> 01:04:49,194
I mean for god's sakes,

3820
01:04:49,194 --> 01:04:49,761
cokesbury methodist church down

3821
01:04:49,761 --> 01:04:49,979
soapies this has been mentioned

3822
01:04:49,979 --> 01:04:50,517
there I mean they're way down

3823
01:04:50,517 --> 01:04:50,772
earlier have actually taken

3824
01:04:50,772 --> 01:04:51,338
deep west in the county and

3825
01:04:51,338 --> 01:04:51,806
there's homeless people all

3826
01:04:51,806 --> 01:04:52,753
over down there.

3827
01:04:52,753 --> 01:04:53,327
so I just think we have a

3828
01:04:53,327 --> 01:04:53,542
individuals to ministries to

3829
01:04:53,542 --> 01:04:53,894
problem we need to rectify at

3830
01:04:53,894 --> 01:04:54,209
some point.

3831
01:04:54,209 --> 01:04:55,180
engage in services that connect

3832
01:04:55,180 --> 01:04:55,696
but I don't think any part

3833
01:04:55,696 --> 01:04:56,550
of town is exempt and I will

3834
01:04:56,550 --> 01:04:56,573
wholeheartedly support

3835
01:04:56,573 --> 01:04:56,726
ministries may have because

3836
01:04:56,726 --> 01:04:57,134
haircut's the motion before a

3837
01:04:57,134 --> 01:04:57,397
they know that those

3838
01:04:57,397 --> 01:04:57,700
council is to deny this appeal.

3839
01:04:57,700 --> 01:04:58,119
individuals may not necessarily

3840
01:04:58,119 --> 01:04:58,947
council member thomas yeah.

3841
01:04:58,947 --> 01:05:00,198
very quickly in response to

3842
01:05:00,198 --> 01:05:00,319
walk through the door on their

3843
01:05:00,319 --> 01:05:00,528
miss clb, I know that there's a

3844
01:05:00,528 --> 01:05:01,102
own.

3845
01:05:01,102 --> 01:05:01,335
homeless problem all over the

3846
01:05:01,335 --> 01:05:01,444
city.

3847
01:05:01,444 --> 01:05:03,844
>> the case managers really

3848
01:05:04,136 --> 01:05:04,255
help to assess what the needs

3849
01:05:04,255 --> 01:05:05,740
I get that.

3850
01:05:05,740 --> 01:05:05,288
are, identify kind of a

3851
01:05:05,288 --> 01:05:05,832
but what we're seeing in this

3852
01:05:05,832 --> 01:05:07,976
holistic approach to their

3853
01:05:07,976 --> 01:05:08,960
particular area and I know it

3854
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:09,234
was when I know when it started

3855
01:05:09,234 --> 01:05:09,922
needs and then can help them

3856
01:05:09,922 --> 01:05:10,276
engage the services that they

3857
01:05:10,276 --> 01:05:11,838
may need.

3858
01:05:11,838 --> 01:05:12,618
happening it's when we cleaned

3859
01:05:12,618 --> 01:05:12,697
out the camps under blackstock.

3860
01:05:12,697 --> 01:05:13,669
so it may be employment

3861
01:05:13,669 --> 01:05:13,899
services, it may be housing, et

3862
01:05:13,899 --> 01:05:15,899
cetera.

3863
01:05:15,954 --> 01:05:16,642
anybody in merchants road can

3864
01:05:16,642 --> 01:05:16,928
and so the two things work

3865
01:05:16,928 --> 01:05:17,420
tell you and I don't think

3866
01:05:17,420 --> 01:05:20,107
together and then as I

3867
01:05:20,107 --> 01:05:20,306
there's any other part of the

3868
01:05:20,306 --> 01:05:21,294
mentioned the third piece that

3869
01:05:21,294 --> 01:05:22,650
will come before you in just a

3870
01:05:22,650 --> 01:05:23,287
few minutes also works with

3871
01:05:23,287 --> 01:05:24,550
city that is taking as many

3872
01:05:24,550 --> 01:05:24,432
unannounced individuals and as

3873
01:05:24,432 --> 01:05:24,981
that in allowing in

3874
01:05:24,981 --> 01:05:26,981
opportunities for individuals

3875
01:05:27,859 --> 01:05:27,963
to engage the therapeutic

3876
01:05:27,963 --> 01:05:28,207
a need for the city to help the

3877
01:05:28,207 --> 01:05:28,718
situation.

3878
01:05:28,718 --> 01:05:30,231
mental health services that

3879
01:05:30,231 --> 01:05:30,770
then there is in north

3880
01:05:30,770 --> 01:05:31,381
knoxville.

3881
01:05:31,381 --> 01:05:31,833
>> thank you.

3882
01:05:31,833 --> 01:05:32,787
they may need to be supported

3883
01:05:32,787 --> 01:05:34,919
and effective in participating

3884
01:05:34,919 --> 01:05:35,909
ok, any further questions or

3885
01:05:35,909 --> 01:05:36,388
discussion saying none just as

3886
01:05:36,388 --> 01:05:37,528
in some of the other services.

3887
01:05:37,528 --> 01:05:38,403
and so the life coaches kind

3888
01:05:38,403 --> 01:05:39,289
of walk alongside them in all

3889
01:05:39,289 --> 01:05:40,730
a reminder a yes vote is to

3890
01:05:40,730 --> 01:05:40,319
deny the people all those in

3891
01:05:40,319 --> 01:05:40,762
favor.

3892
01:05:40,762 --> 01:05:41,325
of those aspects where as the

3893
01:05:41,325 --> 01:05:42,849
case managers through connect

3894
01:05:42,849 --> 01:05:44,203
please say and he opposed the

3895
01:05:44,203 --> 01:05:45,590
would be hyper focused on

3896
01:05:45,590 --> 01:05:45,724
meeting some of those needs

3897
01:05:45,724 --> 01:05:46,659
that identified that their

3898
01:05:46,659 --> 01:05:46,895
motion to deny his council

3899
01:05:46,895 --> 01:05:48,895
members.

3900
01:05:49,226 --> 01:05:50,179
there's been a couple

3901
01:05:50,179 --> 01:05:50,325
of requests for a brief recess

3902
01:05:50,325 --> 01:05:51,544
services can address.

3903
01:05:51,544 --> 01:05:53,674
so that's pretty much the same

3904
01:05:53,674 --> 01:05:54,542
so we'll reconvene at seven

3905
01:05:54,542 --> 01:05:55,356
thirty five and those of you

3906
01:05:55,356 --> 01:05:56,121
thing a case manager and a life

3907
01:05:56,121 --> 01:05:57,428
coach when you're talking about

3908
01:05:57,428 --> 01:05:58,284
who are leaving please take

3909
01:05:58,284 --> 01:05:58,515
this opportunity to leave

3910
01:05:58,515 --> 01:05:58,963
working with individuals is the

3911
01:05:58,963 --> 01:06:00,875
same thing.

3912
01:06:00,875 --> 01:06:01,487
quietly and stay if you're

3913
01:06:01,487 --> 01:06:02,360
the point I'm making is we

3914
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,360
already have funding out here

3915
01:06:05,558 --> 01:06:06,118
for life coaches that are

3916
01:06:06,118 --> 01:06:06,786
working with high risk

3917
01:06:06,786 --> 01:06:09,186
individuals who are already

3918
01:06:10,830 --> 01:06:12,976
doing the work and so here it

3919
01:06:12,976 --> 01:06:13,715
is we're looking to duplicate

3920
01:06:13,715 --> 01:06:14,100
the same thing.

3921
01:06:14,100 --> 01:06:15,135
right.

3922
01:06:15,135 --> 01:06:17,511
I don't know if we're just

3923
01:06:17,511 --> 01:06:20,511
looking to disperse the funds

3924
01:06:20,694 --> 01:06:21,668
for whatever reason but this

3925
01:06:21,668 --> 01:06:25,659
is just not making sense for us

3926
01:06:25,659 --> 01:06:26,452
to duplicate services when I'm

3927
01:06:26,452 --> 01:06:29,342
looking at the contract and I

3928
01:06:29,342 --> 01:06:29,982
see j.r. And we have 200

3929
01:06:29,982 --> 01:06:30,856
twenty five thousand dollars

3930
01:06:30,856 --> 01:06:31,703
out there already for five life

3931
01:06:31,703 --> 01:06:33,763
welcome to stay if you wish

3932
01:06:33,763 --> 01:06:34,215
coaches earn enough high risk

3933
01:06:34,215 --> 01:06:36,215
individuals out there.

3934
01:06:40,387 --> 01:06:44,960
there is and so it's not making

3935
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:45,388
sense and I hope you know, I

3936
01:06:45,388 --> 01:06:50,188
don't want to be the one to you

3937
01:06:50,592 --> 01:06:51,647
know, come off as you know,

3938
01:06:51,647 --> 01:06:54,647
trying to say that connect

3939
01:06:55,647 --> 01:06:55,885
ministries isn't doing the

3940
01:06:55,885 --> 01:06:56,825
work.

3941
01:06:56,825 --> 01:06:57,499
like I said, I don't think

3942
01:06:57,499 --> 01:06:58,747
there's anything you can say

3943
01:06:58,747 --> 01:06:58,977
about the program but just be

3944
01:06:58,977 --> 01:07:00,977
careful.

3945
01:07:02,507 --> 01:07:03,211
be careful.

3946
01:07:03,211 --> 01:07:05,211
connect ministries it's

3947
01:07:07,106 --> 01:07:08,600
difficult work is challenging

3948
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:08,843
when you're working with high

3949
01:07:08,843 --> 01:07:10,589
risk individuals you do have to

3950
01:07:10,589 --> 01:07:11,825
walk that fine line.

3951
01:07:11,825 --> 01:07:14,387
you know, when it when it comes

3952
01:07:14,387 --> 01:07:15,123
to the safety of these

3953
01:07:15,123 --> 01:07:17,123
individuals providing certain

3954
01:07:18,812 --> 01:07:19,788
information to law enforcement

3955
01:07:19,788 --> 01:07:22,763
or to the city can be

3956
01:07:22,763 --> 01:07:22,996
detrimental for those

3957
01:07:22,996 --> 01:07:24,440
individuals.

3958
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:24,920
so as you're doing the work and

3959
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,910
you're working with these five

3960
01:07:27,910 --> 01:07:27,415
individuals, just be mindful

3961
01:07:27,415 --> 01:07:28,864
of that.

3962
01:07:28,864 --> 01:07:29,617
but we have to do a better job

3963
01:07:29,617 --> 01:07:32,170
of dispersing spending our

3964
01:07:34,223 --> 01:07:35,573
funds.

3965
01:07:35,573 --> 01:07:37,547
I mean if you get I think miss

3966
01:07:37,547 --> 01:07:38,311
parker had her line on first

3967
01:07:38,311 --> 01:07:40,711
council member parker sure.

3968
01:07:41,434 --> 01:07:42,557
to things.

3969
01:07:42,557 --> 01:07:45,557
the reason I'm asking this

3970
01:07:48,606 --> 01:07:51,606
question is because both in

3971
01:07:53,500 --> 01:07:54,175
terms of who were identifying

3972
01:07:54,175 --> 01:07:57,170
for, uh, financial support but

3973
01:07:57,170 --> 01:08:00,770
then also who we are uh

3974
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:02,640
targeting for what the mayor

3975
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,434
described as the stick, not the

3976
01:08:04,434 --> 01:08:05,457
carrot.

3977
01:08:05,457 --> 01:08:08,448
um, it just sounds like

3978
01:08:08,448 --> 01:08:10,448
predictive policing.

3979
01:08:12,329 --> 01:08:13,930
so I'm trying to get a sense

3980
01:08:13,930 --> 01:08:15,705
of are we doing predictive

3981
01:08:15,705 --> 01:08:19,905
policing and how are we um you

3982
01:08:19,905 --> 01:08:20,674
know, identifying people who

3983
01:08:20,674 --> 01:08:21,560
could potentially be a victim

3984
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,942
of a crime or who could

3985
01:08:24,942 --> 01:08:25,185
potentially, um, commit a

3986
01:08:25,185 --> 01:08:27,185
crime.

3987
01:08:27,529 --> 01:08:27,968
and so that's why I keep asking

3988
01:08:27,968 --> 01:08:29,968
those questions.

3989
01:08:31,506 --> 01:08:32,485
council member grant just

3990
01:08:32,485 --> 01:08:35,107
stated that there are not that

3991
01:08:35,107 --> 01:08:36,174
many high risk individuals in

3992
01:08:36,174 --> 01:08:39,585
our community but when we have

3993
01:08:39,585 --> 01:08:40,544
such broad definitions, a lot

3994
01:08:40,544 --> 01:08:41,490
of people can fit into that

3995
01:08:41,490 --> 01:08:44,490
definition of who might be

3996
01:08:45,687 --> 01:08:48,870
considered a high risk

3997
01:08:49,679 --> 01:08:50,655
individual and then what stigma

3998
01:08:50,655 --> 01:08:53,953
then is attached not only to

3999
01:08:53,953 --> 01:08:54,183
the individual but to a

4000
01:08:54,183 --> 01:08:56,183
community?

4001
01:08:58,480 --> 01:09:01,480
um, for the knoxville peace

4002
01:09:01,753 --> 01:09:05,654
group was was brought up in and

4003
01:09:05,654 --> 01:09:06,440
I see j.r. Contract and I

4004
01:09:06,440 --> 01:09:08,920
wanted to ask I thought that

4005
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:09,951
was a short six month contract.

4006
01:09:09,951 --> 01:09:13,282
was it a year long contract?

4007
01:09:13,282 --> 01:09:16,282
is that contract not expired?

4008
01:09:17,340 --> 01:09:20,164
and so you contract so it has a

4009
01:09:20,164 --> 01:09:20,709
few more months on the contract

4010
01:09:20,709 --> 01:09:21,306
now.

4011
01:09:21,306 --> 01:09:23,306
uh, yes.

4012
01:09:24,135 --> 01:09:28,323
do do we have any idea what

4013
01:09:28,323 --> 01:09:29,141
comes next?

4014
01:09:29,141 --> 01:09:31,541
because my understanding was

4015
01:09:32,630 --> 01:09:34,150
that knoxville peace I believe

4016
01:09:34,150 --> 01:09:36,588
and I see as they as we asked

4017
01:09:36,588 --> 01:09:37,256
them is coming to offer

4018
01:09:37,256 --> 01:09:39,656
training to anyone who's

4019
01:09:40,656 --> 01:09:42,900
willing to get more training.

4020
01:09:42,900 --> 01:09:43,969
I can't like be what's the name

4021
01:09:43,969 --> 01:09:44,938
of it anyhow to other entities

4022
01:09:44,938 --> 01:09:47,321
again we're trying to have an

4023
01:09:47,321 --> 01:09:48,374
ecosystem of community

4024
01:09:48,374 --> 01:09:51,374
supportive services to to stop

4025
01:09:51,962 --> 01:09:52,947
people from being violent and

4026
01:09:52,947 --> 01:09:55,719
let's say we serve someone who

4027
01:09:55,719 --> 01:09:56,278
instead of a ninety nine

4028
01:09:56,278 --> 01:09:58,678
percent likely to commit

4029
01:09:59,451 --> 01:10:00,313
violence or a ninety five

4030
01:10:00,313 --> 01:10:00,544
percent that would still be

4031
01:10:00,544 --> 01:10:02,544
helpful.

4032
01:10:02,662 --> 01:10:03,535
maybe someone gets access to

4033
01:10:03,535 --> 01:10:06,535
job training to mental health

4034
01:10:06,925 --> 01:10:07,894
services or housing and then

4035
01:10:07,894 --> 01:10:10,686
they're less risk of being a

4036
01:10:10,686 --> 01:10:11,912
victim of committing violence.

4037
01:10:11,912 --> 01:10:15,129
I think that's it's a good

4038
01:10:15,129 --> 01:10:16,190
problem to have that we are a

4039
01:10:16,190 --> 01:10:19,200
less violent city today than we

4040
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:19,908
were five years ago and I think

4041
01:10:19,908 --> 01:10:22,289
that's a credit to the office

4042
01:10:22,289 --> 01:10:23,249
of community safety and all

4043
01:10:23,249 --> 01:10:26,223
many people have been part

4044
01:10:26,223 --> 01:10:26,763
of developing this ecosystem

4045
01:10:26,763 --> 01:10:27,795
of community services.

4046
01:10:27,795 --> 01:10:29,342
I think for every dollar we

4047
01:10:29,342 --> 01:10:29,981
invest in community

4048
01:10:29,981 --> 01:10:31,981
organizations like connect

4049
01:10:51,249 --> 01:10:52,130
ministry and some of the grants

4050
01:10:52,130 --> 01:10:53,126
that you all proved last agenda

4051
01:10:53,126 --> 01:10:54,172
item helps us be a safer city.

4052
01:10:54,172 --> 01:10:54,518
I think you can look at our

4053
01:10:54,518 --> 01:10:55,451
crime statistics.

4054
01:10:55,451 --> 01:10:56,346
I think that's credit to credit

4055
01:10:56,346 --> 01:10:56,812
but I also think it's credit to

4056
01:10:56,812 --> 01:10:57,376
these community based

4057
01:10:57,376 --> 01:10:57,938
organizations that we don't

4058
01:10:57,938 --> 01:10:58,702
just have an absence

4059
01:10:58,702 --> 01:10:59,470
of violence, we have a presence

4060
01:10:59,470 --> 01:10:59,810
of peace and that's that's what

4061
01:10:59,810 --> 01:11:01,424
this is about.

4062
01:11:01,424 --> 01:11:03,593
well, my assessing what um the

4063
01:11:03,593 --> 01:11:04,567
outcomes of these efforts

4064
01:11:04,567 --> 01:11:07,567
should be an ongoing process

4065
01:11:08,660 --> 01:11:10,858
and I do not believe we've

4066
01:11:10,858 --> 01:11:13,858
talked about the data really

4067
01:11:15,580 --> 01:11:16,160
since a lot of these programs

4068
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:19,160
and efforts began and since

4069
01:11:19,196 --> 01:11:22,796
then I've heard, you know, the

4070
01:11:22,993 --> 01:11:25,993
uh we're starting to see

4071
01:11:26,578 --> 01:11:27,423
different victims of gun

4072
01:11:27,423 --> 01:11:29,823
violence in our community

4073
01:11:30,817 --> 01:11:31,576
rather than than than the

4074
01:11:31,576 --> 01:11:33,976
demographics that we were

4075
01:11:34,752 --> 01:11:37,752
largely seeing five years ago.

4076
01:11:41,144 --> 01:11:44,239
and so that tells me, you know,

4077
01:11:44,239 --> 01:11:47,839
uh, that it's time to reassess

4078
01:11:49,158 --> 01:11:49,693
and to see where the needs are

4079
01:11:49,693 --> 01:11:50,622
currently.

4080
01:11:50,622 --> 01:11:53,196
but if we simply just keep

4081
01:11:53,196 --> 01:11:53,657
doing the same thing and we

4082
01:11:53,657 --> 01:11:54,410
just assume certain

4083
01:11:54,410 --> 01:11:56,810
neighborhoods are where the

4084
01:11:57,412 --> 01:11:58,204
violence is going to happen and

4085
01:11:58,204 --> 01:12:00,766
certain people are going to be

4086
01:12:00,766 --> 01:12:01,427
the people who commit the

4087
01:12:01,427 --> 01:12:02,212
violence even though we're

4088
01:12:02,212 --> 01:12:04,783
seeing those numbers shift and

4089
01:12:04,783 --> 01:12:05,532
we're seeing other demographics

4090
01:12:05,532 --> 01:12:07,932
committing the violence, that's

4091
01:12:09,234 --> 01:12:12,441
where we start to see a biased

4092
01:12:12,441 --> 01:12:13,427
form and we start to see the

4093
01:12:13,427 --> 01:12:16,236
you know, racial profiling and

4094
01:12:16,236 --> 01:12:16,466
then we start to see the stigma

4095
01:12:16,466 --> 01:12:17,508
forming.

4096
01:12:17,508 --> 01:12:19,673
and so that's why I'm asking

4097
01:12:19,673 --> 01:12:21,000
these questions.

4098
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:21,345
if we see data shifting, we see

4099
01:12:21,345 --> 01:12:23,345
violence is down.

4100
01:12:24,376 --> 01:12:27,376
we the other demographics in

4101
01:12:28,810 --> 01:12:31,810
the violence and needing those

4102
01:12:31,673 --> 01:12:32,800
supports as well.

4103
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:33,666
it's you know, it's time to

4104
01:12:33,666 --> 01:12:36,666
have a conversation about where

4105
01:12:37,996 --> 01:12:38,928
we're focusing our efforts.

4106
01:12:38,928 --> 01:12:39,375
vice mayor, if you're good,

4107
01:12:39,375 --> 01:12:41,375

to three minutes to address

4159
01:14:25,449 --> 01:14:26,223
councilman candice allen um

4160
01:14:26,223 --> 01:14:28,905
address two hundred tech center

4161
01:14:28,905 --> 01:14:30,905
drive knoxville, tennessee.

4162
01:14:32,675 --> 01:14:36,275
um, I'm here tonight to support

4163
01:14:37,270 --> 01:14:37,798
um the um uh project that is in

4164
01:14:37,798 --> 01:14:39,798
front of you.

4165
01:14:41,146 --> 01:14:44,146
um, we are involved initially

4166
01:14:45,129 --> 01:14:46,670
with the training in two

4167
01:14:46,670 --> 01:14:49,670
thousand and twenty two that

4168
01:14:49,351 --> 01:14:52,749
was provided to us through the

4169
01:14:52,749 --> 01:14:53,925
violence reduction center and

4170
01:14:53,925 --> 01:14:57,504
during that time it was very

4171
01:14:57,504 --> 01:14:58,289
apparent to us that one of the

4172
01:14:58,289 --> 01:15:00,863
things that they had carved out

4173
01:15:00,863 --> 01:15:04,442
that was very one of the

4174
01:15:04,442 --> 01:15:05,185
components of the model was

4175
01:15:05,185 --> 01:15:07,185
that individuals needed

4176
01:15:08,475 --> 01:15:09,536
individual and group therapy

4177
01:15:09,536 --> 01:15:13,136
and not only did they recommend

4178
01:15:13,233 --> 01:15:13,975
that they also cited cbt, which

4179
01:15:13,975 --> 01:15:16,375
is cognitive behavioral therapy

4180
01:15:17,348 --> 01:15:20,348
and as the most successful

4181
01:15:20,725 --> 01:15:24,325
model that they had, you know,

4182
01:15:24,914 --> 01:15:25,695
that they had experienced in

4183
01:15:25,695 --> 01:15:26,582
all their success with their

4184
01:15:26,582 --> 01:15:27,942
other models that they'd put in

4185
01:15:27,942 --> 01:15:29,285
different cities.

4186
01:15:29,285 --> 01:15:32,161
>> so just to give you a brief

4187
01:15:32,161 --> 01:15:35,761
idea of what that entails, cbt

4188
01:15:36,148 --> 01:15:39,657
as it is called is a evidence

4189
01:15:39,657 --> 01:15:39,986
based structured therapy model

4190
01:15:39,986 --> 01:15:41,986
.

4191
01:15:43,924 --> 01:15:45,830
it is provided specifically for

4192
01:15:45,830 --> 01:15:48,830
individuals that have a pattern

4193
01:15:48,265 --> 01:15:49,220
of negative thinking which

4194
01:15:49,220 --> 01:15:51,422
turns into negative behaviors

4195
01:15:52,511 --> 01:15:56,111
in this helps in to identify

4196
01:15:56,332 --> 01:15:57,830
and to move forward in and you

4197
01:15:57,830 --> 01:15:57,316
know, experience some positive

4198
01:15:57,316 --> 01:15:59,316
goals.

4199
01:16:00,437 --> 01:16:01,292
and so this really is is

4200
01:16:01,292 --> 01:16:03,692
pertinent towards a group

4201
01:16:04,670 --> 01:16:04,987
therapy kind of model.

4202
01:16:04,987 --> 01:16:07,671
for example, it could be

4203
01:16:07,671 --> 01:16:08,432
something that they attend

4204
01:16:08,432 --> 01:16:10,832
several weeks that would

4205
01:16:11,927 --> 01:16:12,796
involve making better decisions

4206
01:16:12,796 --> 01:16:14,796
, identifying purpose, working

4207
01:16:15,180 --> 01:16:16,530
through trauma and time because

4208
01:16:16,530 --> 01:16:16,913
we know that the majority

4209
01:16:16,913 --> 01:16:19,598
of the individuals that we come

4210
01:16:19,598 --> 01:16:19,830
across there refer to this

4211
01:16:19,830 --> 01:16:21,830
initiative.

4212
01:16:24,192 --> 01:16:27,693
they have a lot of trauma in

4213
01:16:27,693 --> 01:16:28,865
the finally it would be a the

4214
01:16:28,865 --> 01:16:31,223
final week might be life skills

4215
01:16:31,223 --> 01:16:32,257
and financial literacy.

4216
01:16:32,257 --> 01:16:34,943
>> so that's just one example

4217
01:16:34,943 --> 01:16:36,900
that the master's level person

4218
01:16:36,900 --> 01:16:39,900
, the therapist would also be

4219
01:16:39,195 --> 01:16:40,710
providing individual therapy to

4220
01:16:40,710 --> 01:16:43,710
the participants in this would

4221
01:16:43,255 --> 01:16:46,855
be a wide range of evidence

4222
01:16:47,390 --> 01:16:47,585
based modalities of treatment

4223
01:16:47,585 --> 01:16:47,926
that they're specifically

4224
01:16:47,926 --> 01:16:49,926
trained in.

4225
01:16:51,361 --> 01:16:52,125
so in summary, I'm here to

4226
01:16:52,125 --> 01:16:54,525
support that a dedicated

4227
01:16:55,618 --> 01:16:59,218
therapy must be assigned to be

4228
01:16:59,224 --> 01:16:59,865
able to conduct these type

4229
01:16:59,865 --> 01:17:02,265
of group and individual

4230
01:17:03,350 --> 01:17:04,560
sessions for individuals.

4231
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,943
what we know is is that

4232
01:17:06,943 --> 01:17:09,943
individuals need a whole stick

4233
01:17:10,739 --> 01:17:11,679
approach and mental health

4234
01:17:11,679 --> 01:17:14,679
is paramount in helping them

4235
01:17:15,384 --> 01:17:15,962
establish a foundation and

4236
01:17:15,962 --> 01:17:18,362
maintain that foundation so

4237
01:17:19,147 --> 01:17:19,787
they can make positive changes

4238
01:17:19,787 --> 01:17:20,920
in their lives.

4239
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:21,872
thank you for your time and

4240
01:17:21,872 --> 01:17:23,872
attention.

4241
01:17:26,290 --> 01:17:26,537
appreciate it.

4242
01:17:26,537 --> 01:17:28,537
thank you.

4243
01:17:28,999 --> 01:17:30,700

robinson.

4247
01:17:37,456 --> 01:17:38,131
ok, well please come to the

4248

address for the record you'll

address council.

4252
01:17:42,116 --> 01:17:44,116
>> yes ma'am.

4253
01:17:44,843 --> 01:17:45,705
my name is matthew robinson,

4254
01:17:45,705 --> 01:17:48,111
executive director of up knocks

4255
01:17:48,111 --> 01:17:48,902
in my address is forty eight

4256
01:17:48,902 --> 01:17:51,492
2014 if you wait three seven

4257
01:17:51,492 --> 01:17:55,920
nine one eight if I'm not

4258
01:17:55,474 --> 01:17:56,236
mistaken helen ross mcnabb

4259
01:17:56,236 --> 01:17:58,636
already gets millions and

4260
01:17:59,321 --> 01:17:59,975
millions of funding in to my

4261
01:17:59,975 --> 01:18:02,375
knowledge they've been around

4262
01:18:03,369 --> 01:18:04,340
for decades and not really had

4263
01:18:04,340 --> 01:18:06,434
any specific interest in

4264
01:18:07,900 --> 01:18:09,900
violence interruptions

4265
01:18:09,796 --> 01:18:10,760
specifically I may be wrong but

4266
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:11,633
I understand understand I'm not

4267
01:18:11,633 --> 01:18:13,988
opposed to anybody doing this

4268
01:18:13,988 --> 01:18:15,242
work.

4269
01:18:15,242 --> 01:18:15,474
we we need all the help we can

4270
01:18:15,474 --> 01:18:17,474
get.

4271
01:18:18,100 --> 01:18:18,763
but I've also said before

4272
01:18:18,763 --> 01:18:19,525
understanding that taking these

4273
01:18:19,525 --> 01:18:21,925
job descriptions and positions

4274
01:18:22,290 --> 01:18:22,870
in and putting them

4275
01:18:22,870 --> 01:18:25,270
systematically in a process

4276
01:18:26,258 --> 01:18:27,000
takes away the personal aspect

4277
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,400
of all situations pertaining

4278
01:18:30,697 --> 01:18:31,258
and will likely adopt the wish

4279
01:18:31,258 --> 01:18:33,126
that already exists between

4280
01:18:33,126 --> 01:18:33,991
professionals in that world the

4281
01:18:33,991 --> 01:18:34,666
people in the real world

4282
01:18:34,666 --> 01:18:37,233
dealing with the real life

4283
01:18:37,233 --> 01:18:37,903
issues creating these new job

4284
01:18:37,903 --> 01:18:38,479
descriptions and positions in

4285
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:40,879
companies that have already

4286
01:18:41,530 --> 01:18:42,900
been around forever also

4287
01:18:42,900 --> 01:18:44,409
negates opportunities for other

4288
01:18:45,388 --> 01:18:46,151
organizations and new violence

4289
01:18:46,151 --> 01:18:48,534
reduction models to receive

4290
01:18:48,534 --> 01:18:49,306
appropriate funding because if

4291
01:18:49,306 --> 01:18:50,267
the city puts x amount

4292
01:18:50,267 --> 01:18:53,777
of dollars in this line of work

4293
01:18:53,777 --> 01:18:54,548
already then why would it want

4294
01:18:54,548 --> 01:18:56,303
to keep investing more

4295
01:18:56,303 --> 01:18:58,303
especially more specifically

4296
01:19:00,850 --> 01:19:01,100
after it's reached its cap?

4297
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:04,100
I also personally think that

4298
01:19:04,606 --> 01:19:05,289
that this specific line gives

4299
01:19:05,289 --> 01:19:08,289
premise to a perception that

4300
01:19:09,296 --> 01:19:10,254
the city's current model is not

4301
01:19:10,254 --> 01:19:12,727
working and is successful is is

4302
01:19:12,727 --> 01:19:13,508
as successful as was promised

4303
01:19:13,508 --> 01:19:14,376
because if so why would they

4304
01:19:14,376 --> 01:19:16,538
feel the need to implement

4305
01:19:16,538 --> 01:19:17,102
these new different job

4306
01:19:17,102 --> 01:19:17,872
positions in these companies

4307
01:19:17,872 --> 01:19:20,410
that have already been around

4308
01:19:20,410 --> 01:19:21,165
for decades?

4309
01:19:21,165 --> 01:19:21,815
again, part of the reasons that

4310
01:19:21,815 --> 01:19:23,815
certain organizations are

4311
01:19:24,994 --> 01:19:25,761
successful in this line of work

4312
01:19:25,761 --> 01:19:28,357
is because they come from and

4313
01:19:28,357 --> 01:19:29,120
most still live in the same

4314
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,520
environments that the work

4315
01:19:32,103 --> 01:19:33,237
is needed and being done in.

4316
01:19:33,237 --> 01:19:33,808
and believe it or not, there

4317
01:19:33,808 --> 01:19:35,878
are still many qualified

4318
01:19:35,878 --> 01:19:37,550
individuals in those areas

4319
01:19:37,550 --> 01:19:37,727
waiting for a chance to make a

4320
01:19:37,727 --> 01:19:38,695
difference in the places that

4321
01:19:38,695 --> 01:19:40,410
they grew up in and currently

4322
01:19:40,410 --> 01:19:40,742
live.

4323
01:19:40,742 --> 01:19:42,742
>> thank you.

4324
01:19:43,571 --> 01:19:44,246
thank you council members that

4325
01:19:44,246 --> 01:19:47,136
concludes people have signed up

4326
01:19:47,136 --> 01:19:48,107

01:19:48,107 --> 01:19:51,107
council member grant and then

4328

vice mayor fugo oh.

4329
01:19:59,429 --> 01:20:01,395
I mean I have to echo some

4330
01:20:01,395 --> 01:20:04,995
of the things that mr. Robinson

4331
01:20:05,179 --> 01:20:06,486
said.

4332
01:20:06,486 --> 01:20:09,464
you know, some of some of these

4333
01:20:09,464 --> 01:20:10,486
things were tried.

4334
01:20:10,486 --> 01:20:12,886
there were attempts to

4335
01:20:13,462 --> 01:20:14,603
implement these things.

4336
01:20:14,603 --> 01:20:18,803
you know, while I was doing the

4337
01:20:21,348 --> 01:20:22,404
work in the community and again

4338
01:20:22,404 --> 01:20:25,404
can't say nothing about helen

opportunity just working

4341
01:20:29,727 --> 01:20:32,116
alongside her the vrc meetings

4342
01:20:32,116 --> 01:20:33,294
just being able to engage with

4343
01:20:33,294 --> 01:20:33,982
her and her staff and they have

4344
01:20:33,982 --> 01:20:34,961
made the commitment to you

4345
01:20:34,961 --> 01:20:36,304
know, to show up to these

4346
01:20:36,304 --> 01:20:37,337
things.

4347
01:20:37,337 --> 01:20:40,723
but that doesn't take away the

4348
01:20:40,723 --> 01:20:41,375
truth on and to me it's

4349
01:20:41,375 --> 01:20:43,375
understanding that the

4350
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:48,910
president that we're setting

4351
01:20:48,910 --> 01:20:51,465
when I look at the the agenda,

4352
01:20:51,465 --> 01:20:52,338
the documents that came with

4353
01:20:52,338 --> 01:20:55,938
this resolution and I look at

4354
01:21:12,991 --> 01:21:13,546
the hundred and twenty one

4355
01:21:13,546 --> 01:21:14,494
thousand dollar breakdown

4356
01:21:14,494 --> 01:21:15,550
eighty six thousand is for

4357
01:21:15,550 --> 01:21:16,512
salary benefits and taxes

4358
01:21:16,512 --> 01:21:17,767
eighty six thousand is going to

4359
01:21:17,767 --> 01:21:18,724
be going towards hiring an

4360
01:21:18,724 --> 01:21:19,575
employee for helen rostami

4361
01:21:19,575 --> 01:21:20,427
supplies twenty nine hundred

4362
01:21:20,427 --> 01:21:22,405
travel conferences and meetings

4363
01:21:22,405 --> 01:21:23,263
four telephone a thousand I can

4364
01:21:23,263 --> 01:21:23,907
see including equipment rental

4365
01:21:23,907 --> 01:21:24,655
maintenance software licenses,

4366
01:21:24,655 --> 01:21:25,400
five thousand insurance

4367
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:26,156
professional general

4368
01:21:26,156 --> 01:21:28,556
unemployment a thousand sixty

4369
01:21:29,948 --> 01:21:30,709
one dollars and then you have

4370
01:21:30,709 --> 01:21:33,109
an approved federal indirect

4371
01:21:33,499 --> 01:21:34,550
cost of twenty eight point

4372
01:21:34,550 --> 01:21:35,203
sixty five percent.

4373
01:21:35,203 --> 01:21:38,803
apply it to the salaries and

4374
01:21:40,828 --> 01:21:41,795
benefits that's over a hundred

4375
01:21:41,795 --> 01:21:42,545
and ten thousand dollars

4376
01:21:42,545 --> 01:21:44,920
is just going towards the

4377
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:45,588
person not the services that

4378
01:21:45,588 --> 01:21:48,588
they're going to be running.

4379
01:21:48,717 --> 01:21:49,153
the person who's funding this

4380
01:21:49,153 --> 01:21:51,153
next year.

4381
01:21:52,794 --> 01:21:53,465
right or voting today are we

4382
01:21:53,465 --> 01:21:53,809
making a commitment to continue

4383
01:21:53,809 --> 01:21:55,809
this position?

4384
01:21:57,490 --> 01:22:00,490
what if it works right?

4385
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:00,968
is helen ross mcnab taking on

4386
01:22:00,968 --> 01:22:03,368
the the accountability after

4387
01:22:04,186 --> 01:22:05,256
the first year or will the city

4388
01:22:05,256 --> 01:22:08,444
we obligated to fill this void

4389
01:22:08,444 --> 01:22:09,294
we were creating another

4390
01:22:09,294 --> 01:22:11,653
position for an organization

4391
01:22:11,653 --> 01:22:14,530
that's highly funded already.

4392
01:22:15,598 --> 01:22:16,216
it it makes sense.

4393
01:22:16,216 --> 01:22:18,216
it's another band-aid.

4394
01:22:19,169 --> 01:22:20,345
and so a year from now whether

4395
01:22:20,345 --> 01:22:23,349
it works or doesn't work as a

4396
01:22:23,349 --> 01:22:24,110
council we're going to have to

4397
01:22:24,110 --> 01:22:25,440
make a decision.

4398
01:22:25,440 --> 01:22:25,610
do we want to commit another

4399
01:22:25,610 --> 01:22:27,484
hundred and twenty one dollars

4400
01:22:27,484 --> 01:22:30,484
to keep this position field?

4401
01:22:31,417 --> 01:22:32,453
it's not a smart investment.

4402
01:22:32,453 --> 01:22:33,248
it doesn't take away the work

4403
01:22:33,248 --> 01:22:35,518
that helen ross mcnab does but

4404
01:22:35,518 --> 01:22:36,296
it doesn't make sense to make

4405
01:22:36,296 --> 01:22:39,215
this investment at this time.

4406
01:22:39,215 --> 01:22:41,615
thank you, vice mayor.

4407
01:22:42,878 --> 01:22:46,297
if you get thank you I make a

4408
01:22:46,297 --> 01:22:47,280
motion to approve because we

4409
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:48,630
aren't supposed to enter into

4410
01:22:48,630 --> 01:22:50,361
debate on items until there's a

4411
01:22:50,361 --> 01:22:51,391
motion on the floor.

4412
01:22:51,391 --> 01:22:51,727
>> I'll make a motion to

4413
01:22:51,727 --> 01:22:53,727
approve.

4414
01:22:53,839 --> 01:22:57,439
is there a second second motion

4415
01:22:57,540 --> 01:22:58,139
has been made and seconded.

4416
01:22:58,139 --> 01:22:58,634
thanks man.

4417
01:22:58,634 --> 01:23:00,634
thank you.

4418
01:23:00,883 --> 01:23:04,483
I would just say that at

4419
01:23:05,480 --> 01:23:06,755
understand your concerns I

4420
01:23:06,755 --> 01:23:09,731
would just say that if the if

4421
01:23:09,731 --> 01:23:13,331
the service is therapy then the

4422
01:23:17,578 --> 01:23:18,325
therapy is the service so that

4423
01:23:18,325 --> 01:23:20,290
would be my understanding

4424
01:23:20,290 --> 01:23:21,246
of the rationale that ross

4425
01:23:21,246 --> 01:23:24,246
mcnab would bring on a

4426
01:23:24,419 --> 01:23:26,819
different staff member because

4427
01:23:28,210 --> 01:23:28,747
they probably already have

4428
01:23:28,747 --> 01:23:30,747
existing staff.

4429
01:23:31,778 --> 01:23:32,104
I can't speak to exactly their

4430
01:23:32,104 --> 01:23:34,104
application.

4431
01:23:35,182 --> 01:23:36,139
I see it not from you but it

4432
01:23:36,139 --> 01:23:39,139
would be a different therapist

4433
01:23:39,716 --> 01:23:42,716
with a master's level social

4434
01:23:43,333 --> 01:23:46,333
worker to do this work.

4435
01:23:47,523 --> 01:23:48,409
so that is I understand that

4436
01:23:48,409 --> 01:23:51,611
and I understand that you that

4437
01:23:51,611 --> 01:23:52,501
that's the that's the cost if

4438
01:23:52,501 --> 01:23:55,289
it's a people business to help

4439
01:23:55,289 --> 01:23:55,619
people a therapist is the

4440
01:23:55,619 --> 01:23:57,619
service.

4441
01:23:59,387 --> 01:24:00,437
so I intend to support this

4442
01:24:00,437 --> 01:24:03,412
council member parker and then

4443
01:24:03,412 --> 01:24:04,140
debartolo in.

4444
01:24:04,140 --> 01:24:06,140
thank you.

4445
01:24:10,186 --> 01:24:11,125
um, previously we had funded

4446
01:24:11,125 --> 01:24:13,525
mental health services provided

4447
01:24:14,907 --> 01:24:17,265
by organizations in the

4448
01:24:17,265 --> 01:24:19,265
targeted communities.

4449
01:24:22,326 --> 01:24:25,814
um but it seems like we haven't

4450
01:24:25,814 --> 01:24:28,814
invited those groups to apply

4451
01:24:29,405 --> 01:24:31,405
for additional funding.

4452
01:24:33,748 --> 01:24:37,348
how was this um uh grant

4453
01:24:37,529 --> 01:24:38,657
agreement developed?

4454
01:24:38,657 --> 01:24:42,257
they apply for an open grant

4455
01:24:42,866 --> 01:24:46,362
process or miss if it's not

4456
01:24:46,362 --> 01:24:46,606
it's not a grant it's an

4457
01:24:46,606 --> 01:24:47,539
agreement.

4458
01:24:47,539 --> 01:24:49,906
so miss middlebrook, could you

4459
01:24:49,906 --> 01:24:50,292
speak to that please?

4460
01:24:50,292 --> 01:24:52,292
yes.

4461
01:24:54,356 --> 01:24:55,118
so for this particular contract

4462
01:24:55,118 --> 01:24:57,518
for service for director

4463
01:24:57,906 --> 01:24:59,906
services, mental health

4464
01:25:01,685 --> 01:25:04,468
services as excuse me miss

4465
01:25:04,468 --> 01:25:05,640
allen mentioned in her remarks

4466
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:09,270
, helen ross mcnab has been a

4467
01:25:09,270 --> 01:25:12,316
partner with us in his work and

4468
01:25:12,316 --> 01:25:13,473
has kind of walked through the

4469
01:25:13,473 --> 01:25:16,668
the development of a plan and

4470
01:25:16,668 --> 01:25:18,668
understanding the initiatives

4471
01:25:20,251 --> 01:25:21,110
and has worked alongside

4472
01:25:21,110 --> 01:25:23,373
existing partners in the space

4473
01:25:23,373 --> 01:25:24,501
for quite some time.

4474
01:25:24,501 --> 01:25:27,895
and so that was the determining

4475
01:25:27,895 --> 01:25:28,785
factor that they were already

4476
01:25:28,785 --> 01:25:31,472
in the space and existing and

4477
01:25:31,472 --> 01:25:32,464
working well with partners in

4478
01:25:32,464 --> 01:25:36,460
the space and had the capacity

4479
01:25:36,460 --> 01:25:36,797
to manage the contract and

4480
01:25:36,797 --> 01:25:39,197
provide the supports and

4481
01:25:39,583 --> 01:25:40,361
services surrounding the

4482
01:25:40,361 --> 01:25:42,632
individual that would be needed

4483
01:25:42,632 --> 01:25:43,392
to effectively serve them our

4484
01:25:43,392 --> 01:25:43,621
other some of our other

4485
01:25:43,621 --> 01:25:45,621
providers.

4486
01:25:47,590 --> 01:25:50,590
so council approved a little

4487
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:51,314
while ago a provider that was

4488
01:25:51,314 --> 01:25:51,544
providing mental health

4489
01:25:51,544 --> 01:25:52,466
services.

4490
01:25:52,466 --> 01:25:55,350
but those services are specific

4491
01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:56,125
to victims and their families

4492
01:25:56,125 --> 01:26:00,325
and so this provides us a more

4493
01:26:02,768 --> 01:26:03,522
expansive resource to provide

4494
01:26:03,522 --> 01:26:05,922
directed mental health services

4495
01:26:06,406 --> 01:26:07,128
both individual and kandice.

4496
01:26:07,128 --> 01:26:09,528
I mentioned the cognitive

4497
01:26:10,313 --> 01:26:11,460
behavioral therapy sessions for

4498
01:26:11,460 --> 01:26:13,460
individuals who are

4499
01:26:14,828 --> 01:26:15,501
participating in life coaching

4500
01:26:15,501 --> 01:26:17,667
that we don't currently have

4501
01:26:17,667 --> 01:26:18,799
the capacity for.

4502
01:26:18,799 --> 01:26:21,799
>> well, one thing that stood

4503
01:26:22,305 --> 01:26:25,486
out to me in this agreement

4504
01:26:25,486 --> 01:26:26,439
is that the individual hired um

4505
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,839
must understand the culture

4506
01:26:32,660 --> 01:26:33,407
of the targeted community and I

4507
01:26:33,407 --> 01:26:35,807
don't believe that's enough

4508
01:26:36,377 --> 01:26:37,127
honestly especially for

4509
01:26:37,127 --> 01:26:39,127
cognitive behavioral therapy.

4510
01:26:44,348 --> 01:26:45,534
um, not and I'm not saying I'm

4511
01:26:45,534 --> 01:26:48,407
I'm an expert but just what was

4512
01:26:48,407 --> 01:26:50,807
described to me aveng

4513
01:26:52,593 --> 01:26:56,193
of visuals who are expert in

4514
01:26:56,387 --> 01:26:59,387
same challenges in life will

4515
01:26:59,987 --> 01:27:04,187
state it that way and to we're

4516
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:05,550
already talking about who who

4517
01:27:05,550 --> 01:27:08,517
the target community is in

4518
01:27:08,517 --> 01:27:09,768
these grants.

4519
01:27:09,768 --> 01:27:11,749
we don't say it but we know who

4520
01:27:11,749 --> 01:27:14,749
the targeted community is and

4521
01:27:16,957 --> 01:27:21,157
now the fair he is working with

4522
01:27:23,582 --> 01:27:24,221
individuals with a um negative

4523
01:27:24,221 --> 01:27:26,221
outlook on life.

4524
01:27:28,193 --> 01:27:31,408
how can we shift that to a more

4525
01:27:31,408 --> 01:27:32,361
positive and productive I would

4526
01:27:32,361 --> 01:27:35,330
tell you without being an

4527
01:27:35,330 --> 01:27:38,633
expert in this um, you will

4528
01:27:38,747 --> 01:27:41,747
have much more success with

4529
01:27:42,761 --> 01:27:43,520
someone who is a part of the

4530
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,920
targeted community, not just

4531
01:27:47,112 --> 01:27:47,752
someone who understands the

4532
01:27:47,752 --> 01:27:47,984
culture of the targeted

4533
01:27:47,984 --> 01:27:49,984
community.

4534
01:27:51,119 --> 01:27:52,630
I'll let you speak.

4535
01:27:52,630 --> 01:27:53,500
what would you like go ahead

4536
01:27:53,500 --> 01:27:53,929
with your time then I can I

4537
01:27:53,929 --> 01:27:57,473
don't want cut into your time.

4538
01:27:57,473 --> 01:28:01,271
ok, um so that was one concern

4539
01:28:01,271 --> 01:28:02,557
that I had because several

4540
01:28:02,557 --> 01:28:04,930
years ago now uh there was a

4541
01:28:04,930 --> 01:28:07,330
almost like pitch competition

4542
01:28:08,366 --> 01:28:09,117
that was held by the city to

4543
01:28:09,117 --> 01:28:11,117
bring forward community

4544
01:28:13,230 --> 01:28:13,596
organizations who are offering

4545
01:28:13,596 --> 01:28:15,996
mental health services to

4546
01:28:16,691 --> 01:28:17,642
compete for funding from the

4547
01:28:17,642 --> 01:28:19,809
city at present on their

4548
01:28:19,809 --> 01:28:20,941
various services.

4549
01:28:20,941 --> 01:28:23,511
and I don't know if all

4550
01:28:23,511 --> 01:28:24,269
of those have continued

4551
01:28:24,269 --> 01:28:26,669
especially without support but

4552
01:28:27,965 --> 01:28:31,272
I do know some of them have

4553
01:28:31,272 --> 01:28:32,113
continued and so we have those

4554
01:28:32,113 --> 01:28:34,513
mental health services within

4555
01:28:35,302 --> 01:28:36,441
the community and I imagine

4556
01:28:36,441 --> 01:28:39,441
especially for a contract like

4557
01:28:40,436 --> 01:28:44,360
this where we are fully paying

4558
01:28:44,222 --> 01:28:44,966
for an additional staff member,

4559
01:28:44,966 --> 01:28:47,366
many of these other

4560
01:28:48,152 --> 01:28:50,552
organizations that are also

4561
01:28:51,941 --> 01:28:52,795
engaged in mental health

4562
01:28:52,795 --> 01:28:55,195
support that are already

4563
01:28:55,974 --> 01:28:56,833
located in the targeted

4564
01:28:56,833 --> 01:28:59,405
community, they don't have to

4565
01:28:59,405 --> 01:29:00,160
understand the culture of their

4566
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:02,560
already in the community.

4567
01:29:03,597 --> 01:29:04,458
those are the ones who should

4568
01:29:04,458 --> 01:29:07,370
be getting these funds to

4569
01:29:07,370 --> 01:29:10,370
provide these services in my

4570
01:29:10,819 --> 01:29:13,819
council member of our living,

4571
01:29:14,504 --> 01:29:15,467
mr robinson for his comments

4572
01:29:15,467 --> 01:29:18,467
and also councilman grant, I

4573
01:29:18,858 --> 01:29:20,800
think that community work done

4574
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,590
by people within the community

4575
01:29:22,590 --> 01:29:23,207
is invaluable.

4576
01:29:23,207 --> 01:29:23,611
it's irreplaceable.

4577
01:29:23,611 --> 01:29:25,611
it's important.

4578
01:29:26,549 --> 01:29:29,730
but I also think that therapy

4579
01:29:29,730 --> 01:29:32,730
is very important changed my

4580
01:29:34,148 --> 01:29:34,380
own life, saved my friend's

4581
01:29:34,380 --> 01:29:36,380
life.

4582
01:29:38,325 --> 01:29:40,707
it is it is health work, mental

4583
01:29:40,707 --> 01:29:41,320
health work of a different

4584
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:42,176
sort.

4585
01:29:42,176 --> 01:29:45,146
and I think the fact that we

4586
01:29:45,146 --> 01:29:45,805
just had these grant stuff come

4587
01:29:45,805 --> 01:29:48,205
before us which we're

4588
01:29:48,420 --> 01:29:49,383
struggling with some process on

4589
01:29:49,383 --> 01:29:50,370
for community groups and then

4590
01:29:50,370 --> 01:29:52,753
had this for this type

4591
01:29:52,753 --> 01:29:53,415
of master's level professional

4592
01:29:53,415 --> 01:29:55,815
group demonstrates that it's

4593
01:29:57,123 --> 01:29:58,107
not an either or but that we

4594
01:29:58,107 --> 01:30:01,412
are trying to serve both ways

4595
01:30:01,412 --> 01:30:04,610
and so I fully support having a

4596
01:30:04,610 --> 01:30:05,255
professional therapist active

4597
01:30:05,255 --> 01:30:07,255
in our community.

4598
01:30:07,767 --> 01:30:08,363
>> thank you.

4599
01:30:08,363 --> 01:30:10,363
thank you.

4600
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,320
council member honeycut and

4601
01:30:15,632 --> 01:30:16,379
then grant, I want commissioner

4602
01:30:16,379 --> 01:30:17,254
grant to understand and

4603
01:30:17,254 --> 01:30:20,254
appreciate that I'm in full

4604
01:30:21,351 --> 01:30:24,242
support of his efforts over the

4605
01:30:24,242 --> 01:30:24,999
next year to uh, evaluate our

4606
01:30:24,999 --> 01:30:27,399
grant process, evaluate the

4607
01:30:28,185 --> 01:30:28,964
office of community safety and

4608
01:30:28,964 --> 01:30:31,664
empowerment and how these funds

4609
01:30:31,664 --> 01:30:32,195
are distributed in terms

4610
01:30:32,195 --> 01:30:34,195
of violence interruption.

4611
01:30:35,541 --> 01:30:36,395
I think you've started an

4612
01:30:36,395 --> 01:30:38,795
important conversation and I'm

4613
01:30:39,905 --> 01:30:40,885
totally on board and excited to

4614
01:30:40,885 --> 01:30:42,773
be part of that over the next

4615
01:30:42,773 --> 01:30:43,725
year and so that this time next

4616
01:30:43,725 --> 01:30:46,725
year we hopefully have an

4617
01:30:46,896 --> 01:30:47,741
alternative structure or

4618
01:30:47,741 --> 01:30:50,141
something an alternative plan

4619
01:30:51,428 --> 01:30:52,104
that that everyone can buy into

4620
01:30:52,104 --> 01:30:55,104
and be on board with.

4621
01:30:55,342 --> 01:30:56,325
I do think that similar to the

4622
01:30:56,325 --> 01:30:59,100
last thing and to to councilman

4623
01:30:59,100 --> 01:30:59,946
baldwin's point, you know,

4624
01:30:59,946 --> 01:31:02,946
until there is an alternative

4625
01:31:03,538 --> 01:31:04,492
in place, it feels like that

4626
01:31:04,492 --> 01:31:07,370
you know, these processes were

4627
01:31:07,370 --> 01:31:07,927
started months ago and these

4628
01:31:07,927 --> 01:31:09,927
organizations are already

4629
01:31:10,633 --> 01:31:14,233
working in the space and so

4630
01:31:14,618 --> 01:31:15,695
supporting them tonight doesn't

4631
01:31:15,695 --> 01:31:19,895
in my mind take away from the

4632
01:31:36,253 --> 01:31:37,160
fact that the community the

4633
01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:38,890
conversation that we have

4634
01:31:38,890 --> 01:31:38,663
started because of you and that

4635
01:31:38,663 --> 01:31:39,804
we are committed to.

4636
01:31:39,804 --> 01:31:40,684
and so it's not an either or

4637
01:31:40,684 --> 01:31:41,390
situation to me and and I'm

4638
01:31:41,390 --> 01:31:41,494
appreciative of the

4639
01:31:41,494 --> 01:31:42,288
conversation that's happening

4640
01:31:42,288 --> 01:31:43,166
tonight and I look forward to

4641
01:31:43,166 --> 01:31:43,851
how this is going to evolve so

4642
01:31:43,851 --> 01:31:44,522
that next november when these

4643
01:31:44,522 --> 01:31:45,200
grants are applied for and

4644
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:45,995
whatever process that takes it,

4645
01:31:45,995 --> 01:31:46,767
it does look different and it

4646
01:31:46,767 --> 01:31:47,444
is more transparent and it

4647
01:31:47,444 --> 01:31:48,913
is part of a new process but

4648
01:31:48,913 --> 01:31:49,682
that doesn't deter from the

4649
01:31:49,682 --> 01:31:50,354
process that these people have

4650
01:31:50,354 --> 01:31:52,954
gone through and the work

4651
01:31:52,954 --> 01:31:54,105
they're doing currently.

4652
01:31:54,105 --> 01:31:54,984
and so I don't think it's an

4653
01:31:54,984 --> 01:31:57,984
either or situation and I've

4654
01:32:00,408 --> 01:32:01,260
sort plan to vote that way.

4655
01:32:01,260 --> 01:32:02,256
council member grant.

4656
01:32:02,256 --> 01:32:04,500
yeah, I mean and I and I

4657
01:32:04,500 --> 01:32:06,500
appreciate the feedback.

4658
01:32:08,159 --> 01:32:09,250
I'm always open to just kind

4659
01:32:09,250 --> 01:32:09,698
of want to address some some

4660
01:32:09,698 --> 01:32:12,274
of the things that vice mayor

4661
01:32:12,274 --> 01:32:15,667
said in terms of the spending

4662
01:32:15,667 --> 01:32:15,990
and actually hiring this person

4663
01:32:15,990 --> 01:32:16,805
.

4664
01:32:16,805 --> 01:32:19,189
mental health definitely plays

4665
01:32:19,189 --> 01:32:22,775
a role when you're working high

4666
01:32:22,775 --> 01:32:23,721
risk individuals mental

4667
01:32:23,721 --> 01:32:26,721
is definitely important being a

4668
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:29,720
military veteran, being a

4669
01:32:31,112 --> 01:32:31,711
person who's been shot himself.

4670
01:32:31,711 --> 01:32:33,711
>> right.

4671
01:32:34,962 --> 01:32:36,430
I've gone through it and so to

4672
01:32:36,430 --> 01:32:39,430
councilman parker's point to mr

4673
01:32:40,390 --> 01:32:40,369
roberson's point, it's

4674
01:32:40,369 --> 01:32:42,369
different.

4675
01:32:44,302 --> 01:32:47,302
it's different and I'm I

4676
01:32:47,588 --> 01:32:48,196
understand I've been in it.

4677
01:32:48,196 --> 01:32:50,196
I've lived it.

4678
01:32:51,325 --> 01:32:54,925
I understand this work and so

4679
01:32:55,763 --> 01:32:56,434
you know, when you look at the

4680
01:32:56,434 --> 01:32:57,700
one hundred and twenty one

4681
01:32:57,700 --> 01:32:58,981
thousand there's not one

4682
01:32:58,981 --> 01:32:59,840
hundred and twenty one thousand

4683
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:00,621
dollars worth of mental health

4684
01:33:00,621 --> 01:33:02,994
services needed for these high

4685
01:33:02,994 --> 01:33:04,119
risk individuals.

4686
01:33:04,119 --> 01:33:06,997
there is and I'll go on record

4687
01:33:06,997 --> 01:33:07,669
and say that because you

4688
01:33:07,669 --> 01:33:10,690
already have organizations out

4689
01:33:10,762 --> 01:33:11,617
here building the relationships

4690
01:33:11,617 --> 01:33:14,170
with these high risk

4691
01:33:14,620 --> 01:33:15,462
individuals and you have your

4692
01:33:15,462 --> 01:33:15,695
east tennessee mental health

4693
01:33:15,695 --> 01:33:17,695
right.

4694
01:33:18,938 --> 01:33:19,807
you have therapists who you

4695
01:33:19,807 --> 01:33:20,784
know in my previous profession

4696
01:33:20,784 --> 01:33:23,480
I was able to build a

4697
01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:24,557
relationship and say hey, can

4698
01:33:24,557 --> 01:33:27,119
you sit down and work with this

4699
01:33:27,119 --> 01:33:29,119
individual sixty seventy

4700
01:33:29,706 --> 01:33:30,886
dollars a session write as best

4701
01:33:30,886 --> 01:33:31,636
as an organization we had that

4702
01:33:31,636 --> 01:33:34,636
type of service within our

4703
01:33:34,713 --> 01:33:35,689
budget to create a whole nother

4704
01:33:35,689 --> 01:33:38,260
position and to dish out one

4705
01:33:38,260 --> 01:33:38,917
hundred twenty one thousand

4706
01:33:38,917 --> 01:33:41,317
dollars in twelve months.

4707
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:42,214
what we're saying is is there

4708
01:33:42,214 --> 01:33:45,900
ten thousand dollars a month

4709
01:33:45,900 --> 01:33:46,570
worth of mental health services

4710
01:33:46,570 --> 01:33:48,980
is going to be put out there?

4711
01:33:48,980 --> 01:33:50,227
no there isn't.

4712
01:33:50,227 --> 01:33:52,821
>> and so I just want to be

4713
01:33:52,821 --> 01:33:53,671
mindful of how we spend right

4714
01:33:53,671 --> 01:33:56,710
to councilman honeycut point.

4715
01:33:56,933 --> 01:33:57,886
we're going to be right back

4716
01:33:57,886 --> 01:34:00,627
here a year from now.

4717
01:34:00,627 --> 01:34:01,614
ross mcnab is going to come

4718
01:34:01,614 --> 01:34:04,716
back and say hey, this worked

4719
01:34:04,716 --> 01:34:05,921
or didn't or whatever it may be

4720
01:34:05,921 --> 01:34:08,605
and we can say we can face that

4721
01:34:08,605 --> 01:34:09,435
battle when we get there.

4722
01:34:09,435 --> 01:34:12,700
but what position are we

4723
01:34:12,700 --> 01:34:12,501
putting them in?

4724
01:34:12,501 --> 01:34:13,334
right?

4725
01:34:13,334 --> 01:34:14,940
are we are we already

4726
01:34:14,940 --> 01:34:16,494
committing to a yearly

4727
01:34:16,668 --> 01:34:17,341
commitment of one hundred and

4728
01:34:17,341 --> 01:34:19,806
twenty one thousand if this

4729
01:34:19,806 --> 01:34:20,891
position works or is helen ross

4730
01:34:20,891 --> 01:34:23,287
going to have to fit the bill

4731
01:34:23,287 --> 01:34:24,390
to keep this going and again,

4732
01:34:24,390 --> 01:34:27,167
band aid on a gun wound is what

4733
01:34:27,167 --> 01:34:28,104
I feel like.

4734
01:34:28,104 --> 01:34:28,852
I'll stand on that and I

4735
01:34:28,852 --> 01:34:31,252
appreciate the open mind

4736
01:34:31,540 --> 01:34:32,309
is moving forward and I hope we

4737
01:34:32,309 --> 01:34:35,309
can apply that while we're

4738
01:34:35,506 --> 01:34:38,506
making decisions up here and

4739
01:34:38,999 --> 01:34:39,475
support comes with votes.

4740
01:34:39,475 --> 01:34:40,414
right.

4741
01:34:40,414 --> 01:34:42,120
I hope we all understand that.

4742
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:43,185
I appreciate everything that

4743
01:34:43,185 --> 01:34:45,991
we're doing up here but support

4744
01:34:45,991 --> 01:34:46,963
comes with votes and votes or

4745
01:34:46,963 --> 01:34:47,858
what create the change that we

4746
01:34:47,858 --> 01:34:50,236
need to move forward so we can

4747
01:34:50,236 --> 01:34:50,950
have better process.

4748
01:34:50,950 --> 01:34:51,448
>> thank you.

4749
01:34:51,448 --> 01:34:53,448
thank you.

4750
01:34:54,393 --> 01:34:54,837
council member parker than vice

4751
01:34:54,837 --> 01:34:56,837
mayor fukin.

4752
01:34:57,868 --> 01:34:59,140
thank you, mayor.

4753
01:34:59,140 --> 01:35:01,939
I just had to respond to what

4754
01:35:01,939 --> 01:35:04,939
was raised earlier because I

4755
01:35:05,841 --> 01:35:06,594
asked about the process for um

4756
01:35:06,594 --> 01:35:07,370
, developing this agreement

4757
01:35:07,370 --> 01:35:09,972
because I wanted to highlight

4758
01:35:09,972 --> 01:35:10,470
that this is not a grant.

4759
01:35:10,470 --> 01:35:12,470
right.

4760
01:35:13,730 --> 01:35:17,330
so we have had concerns about

4761
01:35:17,923 --> 01:35:19,700
grants that came before us and

4762
01:35:19,700 --> 01:35:22,700
and uh have essentially decided

4763
01:35:22,607 --> 01:35:26,207
well we'll wait for the next

4764
01:35:26,292 --> 01:35:27,172
grant cycle to address these or

4765
01:35:27,172 --> 01:35:27,417
or make sure these issues are

4766
01:35:27,417 --> 01:35:29,417
addressed.

4767
01:35:29,654 --> 01:35:32,960
this is an agreement that the

4768
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:34,280
city reached out one on one

4769
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:35,210
with an entity and decided you

4770
01:35:35,210 --> 01:35:37,193
are the one I want to provide

4771
01:35:37,193 --> 01:35:39,593
this service in these

4772
01:35:41,210 --> 01:35:41,986
situations we can provide a lot

4773
01:35:41,986 --> 01:35:44,843
more scrutiny in my opinion.

4774
01:35:44,843 --> 01:35:48,443
um, because it's not a whole

4775
01:35:48,459 --> 01:35:48,900
six month process that has to

4776
01:35:48,900 --> 01:35:50,900
be redone.

4777
01:35:53,650 --> 01:35:53,843
but we can ask questions about

4778
01:35:53,843 --> 01:35:56,243
other organizations that might

4779
01:35:56,429 --> 01:35:57,356
have been considered.

4780
01:35:57,356 --> 01:36:00,327
I don't think that council

4781
01:36:00,327 --> 01:36:01,403
member artillerymen wanted in

4782
01:36:01,403 --> 01:36:04,780
this way but it kind of sounded

4783
01:36:04,780 --> 01:36:07,780
like, um, there was some

4784
01:36:08,374 --> 01:36:09,232
comfort with mcnabb receiving

4785
01:36:09,232 --> 01:36:12,202
these services because it would

4786
01:36:12,202 --> 01:36:12,536
be professional mental health

4787
01:36:12,536 --> 01:36:13,572
services.

4788
01:36:13,572 --> 01:36:15,124
and I just wanted to highlight

4789
01:36:15,124 --> 01:36:15,859
that we have these

4790
01:36:15,859 --> 01:36:17,859
professionals working at

4791
01:36:18,239 --> 01:36:18,572
non-profits within the

4792
01:36:18,572 --> 01:36:20,572
community.

4793
01:36:25,971 --> 01:36:27,430
um, um at the shaw foundation

4794
01:36:27,430 --> 01:36:30,419
which has a location on mlk

4795
01:36:30,419 --> 01:36:33,419
they're working with dr bush

4796
01:36:34,429 --> 01:36:35,186
who provides mental health

4797
01:36:35,186 --> 01:36:37,586
services there through their

4798
01:36:38,559 --> 01:36:40,959
pathways um mental health

4799
01:36:41,147 --> 01:36:42,231
clinic I think it is and it's

4800
01:36:42,231 --> 01:36:42,576
not just for you but for the

4801
01:36:42,576 --> 01:36:44,576
whole family.

4802
01:36:45,293 --> 01:36:45,955
so they provide those services

4803
01:36:45,955 --> 01:36:48,355
for the whole family.

4804
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:49,998
I don't know if they have

4805
01:36:49,998 --> 01:36:53,280
capacity to bring on a new

4806
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:56,858
position if if asked but it

4807
01:36:56,858 --> 01:36:57,720
certainly would ask because

4808
01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:57,966
again they're located in the

4809
01:36:57,966 --> 01:36:58,668
community.

4810
01:36:58,668 --> 01:37:00,668
they're building those

4811
01:37:01,248 --> 01:37:03,248
relationships already with

4812
01:37:04,835 --> 01:37:05,798
individuals in the community

4813
01:37:05,798 --> 01:37:08,390
and they aren't getting the

4814
01:37:08,390 --> 01:37:09,159
millions upon millions that

4815
01:37:09,159 --> 01:37:10,147
other entities are having and

4816
01:37:10,147 --> 01:37:11,508
this would allow us to help

4817
01:37:11,508 --> 01:37:13,508
grow these services.

4818
01:37:15,857 --> 01:37:19,234
um outside of the much needed

4819
01:37:19,234 --> 01:37:20,252
services provided by mcnabb.

4820
01:37:20,252 --> 01:37:23,252
so that's another reason why

4821
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:27,529
I'm pushing, um for for us to,

4822
01:37:27,529 --> 01:37:30,529
uh, partner with those entities

4823
01:37:30,832 --> 01:37:33,832
within our community who have

4824
01:37:35,437 --> 01:37:35,981
been a part of our grant making

4825
01:37:35,981 --> 01:37:37,981
programs for years.

4826
01:37:38,615 --> 01:37:39,115
they're not new organizations.

4827
01:37:39,115 --> 01:37:41,115
sure.

4828
01:37:41,972 --> 01:37:43,500
foundations well respected long

4829
01:37:43,500 --> 01:37:46,500
, long been in the community.

4830
01:37:46,820 --> 01:37:47,500
they've been a part of these

4831
01:37:47,500 --> 01:37:47,406
various programs that the city

4832
01:37:47,406 --> 01:37:49,406
has started.

4833
01:37:51,159 --> 01:37:54,547
um, so we have the the ability

4834
01:37:54,547 --> 01:37:57,547
to bring services into our

4835
01:37:58,125 --> 01:37:59,171
community and have individuals

4836
01:37:59,171 --> 01:38:02,171
from the community provide the

4837
01:38:02,557 --> 01:38:04,957
services to help transition

4838
01:38:06,161 --> 01:38:07,310
individuals out out of whatever

4839
01:38:07,310 --> 01:38:07,371
crisis or whatever state that

4840
01:38:07,371 --> 01:38:09,371
they're in.

4841
01:38:11,226 --> 01:38:14,202
>> um, what else did I want to

4842
01:38:14,202 --> 01:38:16,202
highlight?

4843
01:38:18,970 --> 01:38:22,658
um um but yeah no I just wanted

4844
01:38:22,658 --> 01:38:23,665
to raise those those two points

4845
01:38:23,665 --> 01:38:25,938
that this isn't a grant so you

4846
01:38:25,938 --> 01:38:26,813
know not not a six month

4847
01:38:26,813 --> 01:38:29,576
process will be messing up and

4848
01:38:29,576 --> 01:38:30,144
that we do have these

4849
01:38:30,144 --> 01:38:32,544
professionals in our community

4850
01:38:33,861 --> 01:38:37,660
uh but we need more and these

4851
01:38:37,660 --> 01:38:38,480
small nonprofits who are doing

4852
01:38:38,480 --> 01:38:40,526
all they can to provide these

4853
01:38:40,526 --> 01:38:43,526
services need that support to

4854
01:38:44,559 --> 01:38:48,159
grow their services so ok thing

4855
01:38:49,670 --> 01:38:50,369

we have one person signed up to

speak on this item in

4929
01:41:15,864 --> 01:41:17,800
opposition mary and garner.

4930
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:17,802
if you would come to the podium

4931
01:41:17,802 --> 01:41:20,710
state your name and address for

4932
01:41:20,710 --> 01:41:20,645

council.

4935
01:41:23,501 --> 01:41:24,224
yes, thank you.

councilman marion garner down

4937
01:41:27,340 --> 01:41:28,363
to five cherokee boulevard.

4938
01:41:28,363 --> 01:41:31,132
obviously I am not against

4939
01:41:31,132 --> 01:41:34,132
safety and state tazewell park

4940
01:41:35,534 --> 01:41:39,134
is a state road and beverley

4941
01:41:57,103 --> 01:41:58,398
road is a city road safety on

4942
01:41:58,398 --> 01:41:59,178
any road city, county, state or

4943
01:41:59,178 --> 01:42:00,600
federal is what we all want.

4944
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:00,769
however I'm opposed to approve

4945
01:42:00,769 --> 01:42:02,320
this resolution tonight as I

4946
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:03,474
have spoken with the director

4947
01:42:03,474 --> 01:42:04,241
of t dot and the region that

4948
01:42:04,241 --> 01:42:04,929
includes notts county and she

4949
01:42:04,929 --> 01:42:06,295
has not been approached about

4950
01:42:06,295 --> 01:42:06,533
the state helping with this

4951
01:42:06,533 --> 01:42:07,375
project.

4952
01:42:07,375 --> 01:42:07,942
I oppose one hundred and fifty

4953
01:42:07,942 --> 01:42:10,342
eight thousand one hundred

4954
01:42:11,322 --> 01:42:13,722
fifty three thousand being

4955
01:42:15,738 --> 01:42:16,475
spent for a study that has

4956
01:42:16,475 --> 01:42:18,475
until december 31st

4957
01:42:19,389 --> 01:42:21,789
twenty seventeen twenty twenty

4958
01:42:22,770 --> 01:42:23,630
seven to be completed when this

4959
01:42:23,630 --> 01:42:26,608
obviously has been a problem

4960
01:42:26,608 --> 01:42:27,457
according to everybody I've

4961
01:42:27,457 --> 01:42:29,857
spoken with including matthew

4962
01:42:30,627 --> 01:42:31,566
and nathan for over

4963
01:42:31,566 --> 01:42:33,731
twenty years, I really don't

4964
01:42:33,731 --> 01:42:36,731
see that urgency and having

4965
01:42:37,327 --> 01:42:40,327
this study started when state

4966
01:42:42,146 --> 01:42:45,146
county, city feds sit down

4967
01:42:52,652 --> 01:42:53,722
together and go over this at

4968
01:42:53,722 --> 01:42:54,708
and as far this isn't part

4969
01:42:54,708 --> 01:42:58,990
of this but as far as the grant

4970
01:42:58,990 --> 01:42:58,772
money goes and all these other

4971
01:42:58,772 --> 01:42:59,655
projects germane to the item

4972
01:42:59,655 --> 01:43:01,446
before you're supposed to sign

4973
01:43:01,446 --> 01:43:01,914
up you only speak to the item

4974
01:43:01,914 --> 01:43:02,866
on the agenda.

4975
01:43:02,866 --> 01:43:03,100
you can speak to that at public

4976
01:43:03,100 --> 01:43:05,100
forum.

4977
01:43:05,112 --> 01:43:06,200
I saw you signed at that time.

4978
01:43:06,200 --> 01:43:06,517
well, thank you, mayor.

4979
01:43:06,517 --> 01:43:08,517
you're welcome.

4980
01:43:09,253 --> 01:43:09,711
ok, that concludes a public

4981
01:43:09,711 --> 01:43:10,441
forum on this.

4982
01:43:10,441 --> 01:43:11,731
I mean does concludes the

4983
01:43:11,731 --> 01:43:15,331
people who signed up to speak

4984
01:43:16,350 --> 01:43:16,805
on this item um, there's a

4985
01:43:16,805 --> 01:43:19,805
motion on the floor council

4986
01:43:20,116 --> 01:43:22,895
member parker, can we get a

4987
01:43:22,895 --> 01:43:23,535
quick overview of this project

4988
01:43:23,535 --> 01:43:23,925
, mr. Claybon?

4989
01:43:23,925 --> 01:43:25,925
sure.

4990
01:43:27,566 --> 01:43:28,210
I'd be happy to talk to that

4991
01:43:28,210 --> 01:43:30,210
tom claiborne's director.

4992
01:43:30,868 --> 01:43:34,468
so this project it's a contract

4993
01:43:35,396 --> 01:43:36,555
for a design for a traffic

4994
01:43:36,555 --> 01:43:39,357
signal at tesla park beverley

4995
01:43:39,357 --> 01:43:42,357
road that intersection the city

4996
01:43:43,570 --> 01:43:46,570
when we receive requests for

4997
01:43:46,995 --> 01:43:47,681
new traffic signals we have a

4998
01:43:47,681 --> 01:43:48,360
traffic signal index that we

4999
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:50,360
look at.

5000
01:43:50,878 --> 01:43:53,681
so we've got to keep man not

5001
01:43:53,681 --> 01:43:54,553
every intersection meets the

5002
01:43:54,553 --> 01:43:55,544
criteria for a traffic signal

5003
01:43:55,544 --> 01:43:58,558
so it's got to meet certain

5004
01:43:58,558 --> 01:43:59,243
criteria or standards out there

5005
01:43:59,243 --> 01:44:01,904
that that's got to meet.

5006
01:44:01,904 --> 01:44:02,970
but if you just meet those we

5007
01:44:02,970 --> 01:44:05,970
annazette for crash data and

5008
01:44:06,367 --> 01:44:09,662
for traffic volumes and then we

5009
01:44:09,662 --> 01:44:10,616
have a system in place where we

5010
01:44:10,616 --> 01:44:13,199
prioritize those based on those

5011
01:44:13,199 --> 01:44:13,662
the lowest currently has thirty

5012
01:44:13,662 --> 01:44:15,662
three different signalized

5013
01:44:16,629 --> 01:44:17,445
intersections on it.

5014
01:44:17,445 --> 01:44:19,845
this intersections the number

5015
01:44:20,836 --> 01:44:21,695
five on that list it is one

5016
01:44:21,695 --> 01:44:24,366
of the higher crash rates over

5017
01:44:24,366 --> 01:44:25,240
the last three years fifteen

5018
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,424
thousand eighty one crashes

5019
01:44:27,899 --> 01:44:28,436
that could be prevented our

5020
01:44:28,436 --> 01:44:29,367
traffic signal.

5021
01:44:29,367 --> 01:44:32,640
so what we're seeing is with

5022
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:32,910
the volume on track on tazewell

5023
01:44:32,910 --> 01:44:33,491
there's not a lot

5024
01:44:33,491 --> 01:44:33,944
of opportunity for gaps coming

5025
01:44:33,944 --> 01:44:35,944
off the road.

5026
01:44:36,476 --> 01:44:39,865
so what this signal will do

5027
01:44:39,865 --> 01:44:40,729
is allow for gaps for those

5028
01:44:40,729 --> 01:44:43,729
folks coming out probably it

5029
01:44:43,734 --> 01:44:44,698
will also help with brackley

5030
01:44:44,698 --> 01:44:47,221
which is also near there as

5031
01:44:47,221 --> 01:44:50,438
well with gaps so and could you

5032
01:44:50,438 --> 01:44:51,414
speak to the amount of time

5033
01:44:51,414 --> 01:44:54,906
given for the study to be

5034
01:44:54,906 --> 01:44:58,506
carried out so the the the

5035
01:44:58,617 --> 01:44:59,477
design itself we're looking at

5036
01:44:59,477 --> 01:45:02,477
what's the best way to

5037
01:45:02,849 --> 01:45:03,874
implement the project?

5038
01:45:03,874 --> 01:45:06,445
so the immediate need is the

5039
01:45:06,445 --> 01:45:07,357
traffic signal.

5040
01:45:07,357 --> 01:45:09,757
we've done some preliminary

5041
01:45:11,683 --> 01:45:12,588
analysis and long term there

5042
01:45:12,588 --> 01:45:14,572
needs to be a turn lanes on

5043
01:45:14,572 --> 01:45:15,430
beverley and tazewell much

5044
01:45:15,430 --> 01:45:16,182
bigger project that we don't

5045
01:45:16,182 --> 01:45:18,582
have funding for for

5046
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:20,330
construction but we feel like

5047
01:45:20,330 --> 01:45:23,116
it's really more of a vision

5048
01:45:23,116 --> 01:45:24,407
zero quick build initiative if

5049
01:45:24,407 --> 01:45:26,993
we can get a signal and now we

5050
01:45:26,993 --> 01:45:27,537
can prevent some of these

5051
01:45:27,537 --> 01:45:29,537
accidents long term.

5052
01:45:30,899 --> 01:45:31,664
we've got a corridor study on

5053
01:45:31,664 --> 01:45:32,447
central park that we're going

5054
01:45:32,447 --> 01:45:35,690
to be working with tpo on.

5055
01:45:35,690 --> 01:45:35,728
we will be talking to tehran

5056
01:45:35,728 --> 01:45:38,128
about those opportunities and

5057
01:45:38,514 --> 01:45:39,401
long term that intersection

5058
01:45:39,401 --> 01:45:39,631
will need turn lanes at some

5059
01:45:39,631 --> 01:45:41,631
point.

5060
01:45:43,303 --> 01:45:44,195
so the signal we're putting in

5061
01:45:44,195 --> 01:45:45,979
we're going to try to do that

5062
01:45:45,979 --> 01:45:46,948
such a way is we don't have to

5063
01:45:46,948 --> 01:45:49,807
rip it out and rebuild it.

5064
01:45:49,807 --> 01:45:50,870
but the signal and a location

5065
01:45:50,870 --> 01:45:51,729
where the road is wide and it's

5066
01:45:51,729 --> 01:45:54,432
important to future those polls

5067
01:45:54,432 --> 01:45:55,508
are in good condition to where

5068
01:45:55,508 --> 01:45:58,597
we don't have to remove them so

5069
01:45:58,597 --> 01:45:59,275
but for the sake just the

5070
01:45:59,275 --> 01:46:00,360
signal that you think it'll

5071
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,115
take a year and a half for

5072
01:46:02,115 --> 01:46:03,133
planning it.

5073
01:46:03,133 --> 01:46:06,700
well, that includes and we

5074
01:46:06,700 --> 01:46:06,776
don't know right now there's a

5075
01:46:06,776 --> 01:46:07,130
lot of utilities we've got to

5076
01:46:07,130 --> 01:46:09,130
work with.

5077
01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:11,730
there could be some rodway if

5078
01:46:11,730 --> 01:46:11,949
we have to set the poles wider

5079
01:46:11,949 --> 01:46:14,321
than the existing roadways will

5080
01:46:14,321 --> 01:46:14,707
be acquiring possibly.

5081
01:46:14,707 --> 01:46:15,427
right.

5082
01:46:15,427 --> 01:46:16,365
we don't know yet.

5083
01:46:16,365 --> 01:46:17,898
we're going to get into that.

5084
01:46:17,898 --> 01:46:18,241
but this timing allows for that

5085
01:46:18,241 --> 01:46:20,241
whole process.

5086
01:46:21,678 --> 01:46:24,780
>> ok, thank council member

5087
01:46:25,259 --> 01:46:26,458
thomas.

5088
01:46:26,458 --> 01:46:29,250
yes, I'm aware of problems in

5089
01:46:29,250 --> 01:46:30,700
that then intersection for

5090
01:46:30,700 --> 01:46:33,701
quite a long time and so I

5091
01:46:33,701 --> 01:46:34,791
would defer to director labor's

5092
01:46:34,791 --> 01:46:38,193
expertize on it and I know that

5093
01:46:38,193 --> 01:46:39,553
some improvements been needed.

5094
01:46:39,553 --> 01:46:39,992
so I see this is just a step in

5095
01:46:39,992 --> 01:46:41,992
that direction.

5096
01:46:44,331 --> 01:46:45,530
thank you.

5097
01:46:45,530 --> 01:46:45,714
any further comments or

5098
01:46:45,714 --> 01:46:48,384
questions seeing none of those

5099
01:46:48,384 --> 01:46:51,977
in favor please I and he

5100
01:46:51,977 --> 01:46:54,377
opposed motion carries twelve

5101
01:46:55,769 --> 01:46:56,528
erm as the resolution

5102
01:46:56,528 --> 01:46:57,309
authorizing the mayor to

of knoxville's parks and

5105
01:46:59,947 --> 01:47:00,900
recreation master plan as

5106
01:47:00,900 --> 01:47:03,900
prepared by perez planning and

5107
01:47:06,925 --> 01:47:07,789
design ok council members we

to speak on this item just

5110
01:47:11,651 --> 01:47:14,651
we'll start with those signed

5111
01:47:15,456 --> 01:47:19,670

my name jean fitzhugh.

5118
01:47:29,581 --> 01:47:29,918
I live at two to one each point

5119
01:47:29,918 --> 01:47:30,835
.

5120
01:47:30,835 --> 01:47:31,614
I'm really looking forward to

5121
01:47:31,614 --> 01:47:33,983
walking home tonight over our

5122
01:47:33,983 --> 01:47:34,700
beautiful pedestrian bridge.

5123
01:47:34,700 --> 01:47:37,100
it's almost my bedtime.

5124
01:47:38,433 --> 01:47:41,841
I'm a retired professor at the

5125
01:47:41,841 --> 01:47:42,593
university of tennessee in

5126
01:47:42,593 --> 01:47:44,593
kinesiology, recreation and

5127
01:47:45,392 --> 01:47:46,610
sport studies and over the past

5128
01:47:46,610 --> 01:47:49,610
twenty five years a team

5129
01:47:49,665 --> 01:47:50,622
of faculty and students we've

5130
01:47:50,622 --> 01:47:53,622
been engaged within the park

5131
01:47:54,215 --> 01:47:56,887
system to study how people how

5132
01:47:56,887 --> 01:47:59,887
physically active or people at

5133
01:48:01,500 --> 01:48:01,339
our parks and on our greenway's

5134
01:48:01,339 --> 01:48:02,163
.

5135
01:48:02,163 --> 01:48:02,927
over that time we've learned

5136
01:48:02,927 --> 01:48:05,327
about who's using the

5137
01:48:05,549 --> 01:48:06,535
greenway's the parks, how are

5138
01:48:06,535 --> 01:48:08,906
they using it, why are they

5139
01:48:08,906 --> 01:48:10,906
using it?

5140
01:48:12,576 --> 01:48:13,738
basically if you name the park

5141
01:48:13,738 --> 01:48:14,737
one of your local parks, we

5142
01:48:14,737 --> 01:48:17,419
could go in and tell you

5143
01:48:17,419 --> 01:48:21,190
exactly what type of people are

5144
01:48:21,224 --> 01:48:22,150
attracted to it and possibly

5145
01:48:22,150 --> 01:48:25,000
what could be done to improve

5146
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:26,761
it and make more attractive

5147
01:48:26,761 --> 01:48:28,761
along that line.

5148
01:48:31,308 --> 01:48:32,780
we've we've transitioned a

5149
01:48:32,780 --> 01:48:34,864
little bit to where we're

5150
01:48:34,864 --> 01:48:35,713
seeing interventions being

5151
01:48:35,713 --> 01:48:36,746
developed in our parks.

5152
01:48:36,746 --> 01:48:39,131
>> but the research that we've

5153
01:48:39,131 --> 01:48:39,888
done you is really limited

5154
01:48:39,888 --> 01:48:42,288
because we're focusing strictly

5155
01:48:42,863 --> 01:48:44,870
on physical activity.

5156
01:48:44,870 --> 01:48:47,167
we're not able to tell the

5157
01:48:47,167 --> 01:48:49,567
finest with parks and

5158
01:48:49,765 --> 01:48:51,630
recreation what they need to do

5159
01:48:51,630 --> 01:48:52,430
, how they need to do it in

5160
01:48:52,430 --> 01:48:54,433
order to improve the parks and

5161
01:48:54,433 --> 01:48:54,885
that's where this master plan

5162
01:48:54,885 --> 01:48:56,885
comes into play.

5163
01:48:58,829 --> 01:49:00,829
they've taken methodologies

5164
01:49:02,230 --> 01:49:06,480
that are based and I say really

5165
01:49:06,480 --> 01:49:06,938
good science and then gold

5166
01:49:06,938 --> 01:49:10,142
standards on how to approach to

5167
01:49:10,142 --> 01:49:11,400
learn about how we in the city

5168
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:14,400
of knoxville can improve our

5169
01:49:14,919 --> 01:49:15,700
park system, what we need to

5170
01:49:15,700 --> 01:49:18,186
improve and the process that we

5171
01:49:18,186 --> 01:49:19,100
need to follow to improve it.

5172
01:49:19,100 --> 01:49:21,473
and from an academic

5173
01:49:21,473 --> 01:49:22,119
perspective as a scholar who

5174
01:49:22,119 --> 01:49:24,519
studied all of the

5175
01:49:25,704 --> 01:49:26,765
methodologies related to

5176
01:49:26,765 --> 01:49:29,765
physical activity and parks and

5177
01:49:30,152 --> 01:49:31,136
recreation in greenways, I

5178
01:49:31,136 --> 01:49:33,489
think they've done a great job.

5179
01:49:33,489 --> 01:49:34,482
I think the master plan you

5180
01:49:34,482 --> 01:49:37,660
have in your hands right now I

5181
01:49:37,660 --> 01:49:41,860
want to assure you it's it's a

5182
01:49:41,873 --> 01:49:45,680
case study on how to go about

5183
01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:46,445
creating a master plan, a long

5184
01:49:46,445 --> 01:49:48,845
range plan for communities

5185
01:49:50,265 --> 01:49:51,133
metropolitan areas to improve

5186
01:49:51,133 --> 01:49:53,497
these fine amenities that we

5187
01:49:53,497 --> 01:49:56,497
have to that really increase

5188
01:49:57,750 --> 01:49:57,950
our quality of life and that's

5189
01:49:57,950 --> 01:50:01,191
what it's all about right now.

5190
01:50:01,191 --> 01:50:02,460
and as an epidemiologic is it's

5191
01:50:02,460 --> 01:50:03,290
all about disease prevention

5192
01:50:03,290 --> 01:50:05,705
too for me because the more

5193
01:50:05,705 --> 01:50:09,297
people get to the parks, the

5194
01:50:09,297 --> 01:50:10,700
more people are going to be

5195
01:50:10,700 --> 01:50:12,238
living longer, increasing their

5196
01:50:12,238 --> 01:50:13,389
quality of life.

5197
01:50:13,389 --> 01:50:16,997
so I really do ask you to

5198
01:50:16,997 --> 01:50:17,527
consider this as a really good

5199
01:50:17,527 --> 01:50:18,270
case study.

5200
01:50:18,270 --> 01:50:18,523
thank you.

5201
01:50:18,523 --> 01:50:20,523
thank you.

5202
01:50:21,670 --> 01:50:22,300

coaker.

5205
01:50:25,509 --> 01:50:28,500
mr coker, if you could come to

address for the record and

5208
01:50:29,981 --> 01:50:33,581
you'll have up to three minutes

5209
01:50:38,490 --> 01:50:38,965
to address council.

5210
01:50:38,965 --> 01:50:39,308
hi good evening mayor and

5211
01:50:39,308 --> 01:50:41,308
members of council.

5212
01:50:41,628 --> 01:50:42,406
my name is jack coker and I

5213
01:50:42,406 --> 01:50:42,640
live at twenty four seven coker

5214
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:44,640
avenue.

5215
01:50:45,177 --> 01:50:46,460
I also have the honor

5216
01:50:46,460 --> 01:50:46,502
of serving as president of the

5217
01:50:46,502 --> 01:50:48,502
bell morris neighborhood

5218
01:50:49,287 --> 01:50:49,973
through that role I became very

5219
01:50:49,973 --> 01:50:52,655
familiar with the parks and

5220
01:50:52,655 --> 01:50:53,503
recreation master plan update

5221
01:50:53,503 --> 01:50:54,289
and its community engagement

5222
01:50:54,289 --> 01:50:57,269
process when this update was

5223
01:50:57,269 --> 01:50:58,500
first announced there was a

5224
01:50:58,500 --> 01:50:58,703
great deal of excitement in our

5225
01:50:58,703 --> 01:51:00,703
neighborhood for decades

5226
01:51:01,376 --> 01:51:02,630
residents talked about the

5227
01:51:02,630 --> 01:51:02,918
potential for a greenway in

5228
01:51:02,918 --> 01:51:05,616
park along the cube owned

5229
01:51:05,616 --> 01:51:08,616
parcels bisect but morse that

5230
01:51:09,140 --> 01:51:09,986
opportunity was obvious to

5231
01:51:09,986 --> 01:51:11,877
those who live there but it

5232
01:51:11,877 --> 01:51:12,641
never quite made its way into

5233
01:51:12,641 --> 01:51:13,391
the broader city conversation

5234
01:51:13,391 --> 01:51:15,791
during the public engagement

5235
01:51:16,572 --> 01:51:17,345
period our neighbors organized

5236
01:51:17,345 --> 01:51:18,920
many of us placed pins along

5237
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:20,481
that corridor on the

5238
01:51:20,481 --> 01:51:20,939
interactive map provided by

5239
01:51:20,939 --> 01:51:22,939
parks and recreation.

5240
01:51:23,795 --> 01:51:24,844
we attended public meetings and

5241
01:51:24,844 --> 01:51:25,519
even hosted a walk through

5242
01:51:25,519 --> 01:51:28,920
of the corridor so staff could

5243
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:28,908
see the opportunity firsthand.

5244
01:51:28,908 --> 01:51:29,674
several members of the parks

5245
01:51:29,674 --> 01:51:32,740
and recreation team attended

5246
01:51:32,248 --> 01:51:33,262
that visit.

5247
01:51:33,262 --> 01:51:35,639
throughout this process we felt

5248
01:51:35,639 --> 01:51:36,310
very hurt when the department

5249
01:51:36,310 --> 01:51:36,985
asked for public input our

5250
01:51:36,985 --> 01:51:39,175
neighborhood gave it and the

5251
01:51:39,175 --> 01:51:40,500
trail we envisioned is now

5252
01:51:40,500 --> 01:51:40,514
included in the draft plan

5253
01:51:40,514 --> 01:51:42,514
before you tonight.

5254
01:51:43,232 --> 01:51:44,189
that is exactly how public

5255
01:51:44,189 --> 01:51:44,925
engagement is supposed to work

5256
01:51:44,925 --> 01:51:47,325
because of the depth

5257
01:51:47,507 --> 01:51:48,302
of outreach and the thoughtful

5258
01:51:48,302 --> 01:51:48,541
work that has gone into the

5259
01:51:48,541 --> 01:51:50,541
plan.

5260
01:51:51,129 --> 01:51:52,620
I encourage you to adopt it.

5261
01:51:52,620 --> 01:51:52,514
over the past year the

5262
01:51:52,514 --> 01:51:54,514
knoxville community has

5263
01:51:55,104 --> 01:51:55,768
provided meaningful input and

5264
01:51:55,768 --> 01:51:56,344
the parks and recreation

5265
01:51:56,344 --> 01:51:58,744
department have translated that

5266
01:51:58,811 --> 01:51:59,673
engagement into a strong

5267
01:51:59,673 --> 01:52:00,498
roadmap for the decades ahead.

5268
01:52:00,498 --> 01:52:03,498
thank you for your time.

um I'd like to start by really

5279
01:52:31,536 --> 01:52:32,224
applauding you for investing in

5280
01:52:32,224 --> 01:52:32,796
in the city's master plan

5281
01:52:32,796 --> 01:52:33,270
related to parks and

5282
01:52:33,270 --> 01:52:33,763
recreation.

5283
01:52:33,763 --> 01:52:35,314
as jean and evans mentioned,

5284
01:52:35,314 --> 01:52:36,187
the process is very thorough

5285
01:52:36,187 --> 01:52:39,270
and very well executed and I

5286
01:52:39,270 --> 01:52:39,939
think the city staff and the

5287
01:52:39,939 --> 01:52:40,902
consultants really went were

5288
01:52:40,902 --> 01:52:43,596
very, very diligent and getting

5289
01:52:43,596 --> 01:52:44,267
community input and I think it

5290
01:52:44,267 --> 01:52:47,267
reflects that in the plan.

5291
01:52:47,389 --> 01:52:48,349
I think the plan is important

5292
01:52:48,349 --> 01:52:51,328
because it really helps all

5293
01:52:51,328 --> 01:52:52,300
of us understand the wishes and

5294
01:52:52,300 --> 01:52:54,750
priorities for those who live

5295
01:52:54,750 --> 01:52:54,404
in knoxville around parks and

5296
01:52:54,404 --> 01:52:55,539
outdoors.

5297
01:52:55,539 --> 01:52:58,518
a plan like this really brings

5298
01:52:58,518 --> 01:53:01,518
us together the public sector,

5299
01:53:01,814 --> 01:53:02,893
the private sector and the

5300
01:53:02,893 --> 01:53:05,981
nonprofit sector so that we can

5301
01:53:05,981 --> 01:53:06,832
all maximize our resources and

5302
01:53:06,832 --> 01:53:07,600
collectively focus on the

5303
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:10,595
projects that the community has

5304
01:53:10,595 --> 01:53:11,348
told us that they want from

5305
01:53:11,348 --> 01:53:13,748
legacy parks perspective I'm

5306
01:53:14,567 --> 01:53:15,539
especially pleased to see that

5307
01:53:15,539 --> 01:53:18,439
a very high value of those

5308
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:19,190
community input sessions was

5309
01:53:19,190 --> 01:53:21,677
placed on conservation of our

5310
01:53:21,677 --> 01:53:22,550
open space and the desire for

5311
01:53:22,550 --> 01:53:25,107
more natural trails and outdoor

5312
01:53:25,107 --> 01:53:25,926
programs.

5313
01:53:25,926 --> 01:53:28,326
knoxville is absolutely blessed

5314
01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:29,581
as you know with the gift

5315
01:53:29,581 --> 01:53:30,618
of geography.

5316
01:53:30,618 --> 01:53:33,121
we have a river running through

5317
01:53:33,121 --> 01:53:34,670
the heart of our city forested

5318
01:53:34,670 --> 01:53:36,467
ridges, rolling valleys and

5319
01:53:37,568 --> 01:53:38,340
spectacular views we have with

5320
01:53:38,340 --> 01:53:40,340
other communities envy.

5321
01:53:41,486 --> 01:53:42,516
we have a vibrant downtown.

5322
01:53:42,516 --> 01:53:45,299
we have strong neighborhoods, a

5323
01:53:45,299 --> 01:53:46,493
robust business environment and

5324
01:53:46,493 --> 01:53:48,987
you can go for a paddle in the

5325
01:53:48,987 --> 01:53:50,320
middle of the day or do a ten

5326
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:52,515
mile hike out of the back

5327
01:53:52,515 --> 01:53:55,515
of your your own outdoors.

5328
01:53:56,364 --> 01:53:57,362
so this plan really offers the

5329
01:53:57,362 --> 01:54:00,555
path forward on how we can work

5330
01:54:00,555 --> 01:54:01,334
together to expand and protect

5331
01:54:01,334 --> 01:54:03,310
all of the great things that

5332
01:54:03,310 --> 01:54:04,179
are about knoxville including

5333
01:54:04,179 --> 01:54:04,420
our great parks and our

5334
01:54:04,420 --> 01:54:06,420
outdoors.

5335
01:54:06,859 --> 01:54:07,831
I thank you again for

5336
01:54:07,831 --> 01:54:10,831
commissioning this plan and I

5337
01:54:11,136 --> 01:54:11,731
hope you'll support it.

5338
01:54:11,731 --> 01:54:13,731
thank you.

important group you did not get

a personal phone call asking

you to serve?

5367

01:55:11,173 --> 01:55:11,654
this is news to me.

5369
01:55:11,654 --> 01:55:12,781
wow.

5370
01:55:12,781 --> 01:55:15,868

5371
01:55:15,868 --> 01:55:18,868
email maybe isn't in spam.

5372
01:55:19,221 --> 01:55:20,194
>> listen I'm glad you're on

5373
01:55:20,194 --> 01:55:21,750
the cag no one from the

5374
01:55:21,750 --> 01:55:23,770
community or those who fought

5375
01:55:23,770 --> 01:55:24,113
for that part were asked to

5376
01:55:24,113 --> 01:55:26,113
serve seriously.

5377
01:55:27,245 --> 01:55:27,940
>> oh yeah seriously.

5378
01:55:27,940 --> 01:55:29,940
listen up.

5379
01:55:31,376 --> 01:55:32,443
they got that big mass park

5380
01:55:32,443 --> 01:55:35,120
plan coming up a city council

5381
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:38,349
meeting but like where is sure

5382
01:55:38,349 --> 01:55:39,445
how we park in that mix seems

5383
01:55:39,445 --> 01:55:42,500
like a big rush to push a plan

5384
01:55:42,500 --> 01:55:42,583
through that's going to last

5385
01:55:42,583 --> 01:55:42,965
ten years.

5386
01:55:42,965 --> 01:55:43,358
true.

5387
01:55:43,358 --> 01:55:45,358
true.

5388
01:55:46,395 --> 01:55:47,364
they should definitely delay

5389
01:55:47,364 --> 01:55:47,708
and make sure all the people

5390
01:55:47,708 --> 01:55:48,296
are heard.

5391
01:55:48,296 --> 01:55:50,296
yeah, sure.

5392
01:55:51,160 --> 01:55:54,138
how report needs to be a part

5393
01:55:54,138 --> 01:55:55,472
of that master plan.

5394
01:55:55,472 --> 01:55:57,336
look, I just wanted to call and

5395
01:55:57,336 --> 01:55:58,455
say congratulations.

5396
01:55:58,455 --> 01:55:59,222
some of those on that list

5397
01:55:59,222 --> 01:56:01,377
of seventeen were for sale in

5398
01:56:01,377 --> 01:56:02,407
the park.

5399
01:56:02,407 --> 01:56:05,493
I do not understand how they

5400
01:56:05,493 --> 01:56:05,849
were selected to serve on a

5401
01:56:05,849 --> 01:56:07,849
visionary buuck.

5402
01:56:08,990 --> 01:56:09,737
yeah, I can see why the

5403
01:56:09,737 --> 01:56:12,137
community is upset and

5404
01:56:13,131 --> 01:56:13,659
concerned especially after that

5405
01:56:13,659 --> 01:56:14,892
first list.

5406
01:56:14,892 --> 01:56:17,385
look, I just want to say

5407
01:56:17,385 --> 01:56:19,385
congratulations.

5408
01:56:21,973 --> 01:56:25,254
I'm gonna hold you up but best

5409
01:56:25,254 --> 01:56:26,228
believe we will be at the

5410
01:56:26,228 --> 01:56:26,895
meeting on the 24th and every

5411
01:56:26,895 --> 01:56:28,863
single meeting that's held

5412
01:56:28,863 --> 01:56:29,818
there after kind of like the

5413
01:56:29,818 --> 01:56:32,818
word says, you know, watchman

5414
01:56:32,897 --> 01:56:36,943
on the wall as you guys talk.

5415
01:56:36,943 --> 01:56:37,394
>> remember we need to be part

5416
01:56:37,394 --> 01:56:39,794
of that master plan.

5417
01:56:40,441 --> 01:56:41,295
the part belongs to the people

5418
01:56:41,295 --> 01:56:44,295
of knoxville and knox county

5419
01:56:44,478 --> 01:56:45,671
and the people want open

5420
01:56:45,671 --> 01:56:47,833
spaces, a public park and they

5421
01:56:47,833 --> 01:56:48,680
want those padlocks out the

5422
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:48,665
gate.

5423
01:56:48,665 --> 01:56:50,665
ok, ok.

5424

thanks.

address council.

5435
01:57:22,939 --> 01:57:24,939
yes thank you.

5436
01:57:25,273 --> 01:57:25,947
I'm kettmann I live at three

5437
01:57:25,947 --> 01:57:28,463
one one west glenwood avenue.

5438
01:57:28,463 --> 01:57:29,646
good evening mayor council

5439
01:57:29,646 --> 01:57:32,819
members first of all I want to

5440
01:57:32,819 --> 01:57:33,795
say everything people said in

5441
01:57:33,795 --> 01:57:36,678
favor of the master plan it and

5442
01:57:36,678 --> 01:57:37,463
the quality people who worked

5443
01:57:37,463 --> 01:57:40,244
on it I completely agree with

5444
01:57:40,244 --> 01:57:41,115
speaking in opposition to

5445
01:57:41,115 --> 01:57:41,993
approving it despite the fact

5446
01:57:41,993 --> 01:57:42,226
there's a lot of great stuff in

5447
01:57:42,226 --> 01:57:44,147
it.

5448
01:57:44,147 --> 01:57:45,170
the parts about tree canopy are

5449
01:57:45,170 --> 01:57:48,170
fantastic but then again it

5450
01:57:48,634 --> 01:57:48,976
proposes putting astroturf on

5451
01:57:48,976 --> 01:57:50,976
more acreage.

5452
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:52,775
how can an administration

5453
01:57:52,775 --> 01:57:53,555
committed to environmental

5454
01:57:53,555 --> 01:57:55,724
goals put toxic heat absorbing

5455
01:57:55,724 --> 01:57:56,660
plastic on fields where

5456
01:57:56,660 --> 01:57:58,660
children play?

5457
01:58:00,128 --> 01:58:00,869
but the main reason for my

5458
01:58:00,869 --> 01:58:03,269
objection is its length.

5459
01:58:03,508 --> 01:58:04,462
it's too long for hardworking

5460
01:58:04,462 --> 01:58:05,434
city council members to have

5461
01:58:05,434 --> 01:58:07,805
command of all it says in time

5462
01:58:07,805 --> 01:58:08,521
for an informed vote.

5463
01:58:08,521 --> 01:58:10,921
but there's an additional

5464
01:58:11,217 --> 01:58:12,495
question about this practice

5465
01:58:12,495 --> 01:58:13,700
putting a big pile of paper in

5466
01:58:13,700 --> 01:58:15,834
front of an elected official

5467
01:58:15,834 --> 01:58:16,620
and then saying vote on it

5468
01:58:16,620 --> 01:58:16,863
quick or you're not doing your

5469
01:58:16,863 --> 01:58:18,863
job.

5470
01:58:19,596 --> 01:58:20,366
it goes back to our budget

5471
01:58:20,366 --> 01:58:20,817
audit of last year and I

5472
01:58:20,817 --> 01:58:22,743
appreciate the remarks.

5473
01:58:22,743 --> 01:58:23,720
council members have made about

5474
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:23,987
that.

5475
01:58:23,987 --> 01:58:26,979
the auditor remarked that the

5476
01:58:26,979 --> 01:58:27,947
deficiencies they uncovered

5477
01:58:27,947 --> 01:58:30,559
quote hurt public trust and

5478
01:58:30,559 --> 01:58:31,574
relationship with partners.

5479
01:58:31,574 --> 01:58:33,974
auditor jennifer mcmahon met

5480
01:58:35,700 --> 01:58:38,670
mentana said she felt it was

5481
01:58:38,673 --> 01:58:39,710
pervasive quotes from a report.

5482
01:58:39,710 --> 01:58:40,162
now I know there's a lot

5483
01:58:40,162 --> 01:58:40,508
of distrust for government

5484
01:58:40,508 --> 01:58:42,508
right now.

5485
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,658
all over our country but we do

5486
01:58:45,658 --> 01:58:46,385
well not to get used to it.

5487
01:58:46,385 --> 01:58:47,740
according to the world

5488
01:58:47,740 --> 01:58:49,257
happiness report which I always

5489
01:58:49,257 --> 01:58:50,403
check out when it's published

5490
01:58:50,403 --> 01:58:51,172
every few years, trust in

5491
01:58:51,172 --> 01:58:53,538
government is one of the most

5492
01:58:53,538 --> 01:58:54,291
crucial attributes of social

5493
01:58:54,291 --> 01:58:54,947
well-being when people don't

5494
01:58:54,947 --> 01:58:57,347
trust their government, the

5495
01:58:57,821 --> 01:58:58,574
results show an increase in

5496
01:58:58,574 --> 01:59:00,974
crime, mental health issues,

5497
01:59:01,558 --> 01:59:02,385
even physical diseases.

5498
01:59:02,385 --> 01:59:03,134
the deficiencies cited by the

5499
01:59:03,134 --> 01:59:05,534
audit auditing committee were

5500
01:59:05,694 --> 01:59:06,728
well publicized.

5501
01:59:06,728 --> 01:59:09,396
now I know the city has

5502
01:59:09,396 --> 01:59:10,151
responded to city finance

5503
01:59:10,151 --> 01:59:10,725
department has been meeting

5504
01:59:10,725 --> 01:59:13,125
with city's audit committee

5505
01:59:13,508 --> 01:59:13,948
about corrective actions and

5506
01:59:13,948 --> 01:59:15,850
that's great.

5507
01:59:15,850 --> 01:59:17,774
but you're the people we see

5508
01:59:17,774 --> 01:59:18,523
the city you city council

5509
01:59:18,523 --> 01:59:20,899
members, many of you endorsed

5510
01:59:20,899 --> 01:59:21,877
by my organization need to make

5511
01:59:21,877 --> 01:59:24,852
your votes with your with our

5512
01:59:24,852 --> 01:59:27,252
happiness and our trust

5513
01:59:28,352 --> 01:59:29,105
uppermost in your minds to back

5514
01:59:29,105 --> 01:59:30,148
to the master plan.

5515
01:59:30,148 --> 01:59:32,626
I'm not saying it totally or

5516
01:59:32,626 --> 01:59:33,289
anything but this habit of not

5517
01:59:33,289 --> 01:59:34,165
giving this council adequate

5518
01:59:34,165 --> 01:59:36,750
time to check out all the

5519
01:59:36,750 --> 01:59:37,541
details and and expecting them

5520
01:59:37,541 --> 01:59:39,706
to make a quick vote while

5521
01:59:39,706 --> 01:59:40,554
pointing out a bunch

5522
01:59:40,554 --> 01:59:40,895
of features they're likely to

5523
01:59:40,895 --> 01:59:42,895
approve of.

5524
01:59:43,526 --> 01:59:43,853
that's part of the pervasive

5525
01:59:43,853 --> 01:59:44,660
problem.

5526
01:59:44,660 --> 01:59:45,526
the auditors we're talking

5527
01:59:45,526 --> 01:59:48,105
about simon williams from my

5528
01:59:48,105 --> 01:59:48,685
daughter's journey put it right

5529
01:59:48,685 --> 01:59:51,850
what many community based

5530
01:59:51,257 --> 01:59:52,800
nonprofits are experiencing

5531
01:59:52,800 --> 01:59:54,408
reflects a broader systemic

5532
01:59:55,516 --> 01:59:56,268
issue in how minority that

5533
01:59:56,268 --> 01:59:57,330
organizations are resourced

5534
01:59:57,330 --> 01:59:59,433
across the regions their

5535
01:59:59,931 --> 02:00:00,606
organizations often receive the

5536
02:00:00,606 --> 02:00:03,288
bare minimum in funding while

5537
02:00:03,288 --> 02:00:04,550
being asked to carry

5538
02:00:04,550 --> 02:00:06,550
disproportionate administrative

5539
02:00:07,643 --> 02:00:08,366
and reporting burden.

5540
02:00:08,366 --> 02:00:09,299
give it 60 days.

5541
02:00:09,299 --> 02:00:12,920
this will give council members

5542
02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:12,777
a chance to comb through it for

5543
02:00:12,777 --> 02:00:14,650
any potential problems and then

5544
02:00:14,650 --> 02:00:15,180
discuss those things with their

5545
02:00:15,180 --> 02:00:16,100
constituents.

5546
02:00:16,100 --> 02:00:16,867
don't wait for the city's

5547
02:00:16,867 --> 02:00:19,371
department heads to come back

5548
02:00:19,371 --> 02:00:19,725
on april 2013 and report on the

5549
02:00:19,725 --> 02:00:21,725
new processes.

5550
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:23,634
do the right thing now get the

5551
02:00:23,634 --> 02:00:26,340
budget and overstuff oversight

5552
02:00:27,327 --> 02:00:27,684
stuff right and you take a big

5553
02:00:27,684 --> 02:00:28,381
step forward.

5554
02:00:28,381 --> 02:00:30,781
your time is up.

5555
02:00:30,899 --> 02:00:31,509
thank you so much.

5556
02:00:31,509 --> 02:00:33,509
>> thank you.

5557
02:00:33,830 --> 02:00:36,230
thank you council members.

5558
02:00:38,493 --> 02:00:39,457
I just wanted to first thank

5559
02:00:39,457 --> 02:00:42,350
all the people who participated

5560
02:00:42,350 --> 02:00:42,272
in this almost year long

5561
02:00:42,272 --> 02:00:43,296
process.

5562
02:00:43,296 --> 02:00:46,388
we've had a lot of meetings

5563
02:00:46,388 --> 02:00:47,512
many of you were part of that.

5564
02:00:47,512 --> 02:00:49,894
we've had meetings in all parts

5565
02:00:49,894 --> 02:00:50,228
of town and all different types

5566
02:00:50,228 --> 02:00:51,460
of venues.

5567
02:00:51,460 --> 02:00:53,446
people could participate and

5568
02:00:53,619 --> 02:00:54,467
give input and ideas

5569
02:00:54,467 --> 02:00:56,844
electronically in person by

5570
02:00:56,844 --> 02:00:58,860
email.

5571
02:00:58,860 --> 02:00:58,650
I want to give a special note

5572
02:00:58,650 --> 02:01:01,650
of gratitude to cheryl olian,

5573
02:01:01,823 --> 02:01:02,386
aaron browning, our parks

5574
02:01:02,386 --> 02:01:04,786
director and deputy director.

5575
02:01:05,120 --> 02:01:05,865
they've done an excellent job

5576
02:01:05,865 --> 02:01:06,805
leading this effort.

5577
02:01:06,805 --> 02:01:08,572
they are both here to answer

5578
02:01:08,572 --> 02:01:09,479
any questions you may have.

5579
02:01:09,479 --> 02:01:09,822
also our consultant carlos

5580
02:01:09,822 --> 02:01:11,822
perez is here.

5581
02:01:12,945 --> 02:01:13,605
I believe he's had an

5582
02:01:13,605 --> 02:01:16,500
opportunity to meet with

5583
02:01:16,996 --> 02:01:17,776
council members and I just want

5584
02:01:17,776 --> 02:01:20,865
to say that we needed this

5585
02:01:20,865 --> 02:01:21,400
updated master plan for a bunch

5586
02:01:21,400 --> 02:01:22,430
of reasons.

5587
02:01:22,430 --> 02:01:25,500
first, the last one we adopted

5588
02:01:25,500 --> 02:01:25,240
in the city is two thousand

5589
02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:25,962
eight.

5590
02:01:25,962 --> 02:01:28,901
that's almost twenty years old.

5591
02:01:28,901 --> 02:01:29,880
our needs have evolved and we

5592
02:01:29,880 --> 02:01:32,449
wanted to touch base with our

5593
02:01:32,449 --> 02:01:33,276
community.

5594
02:01:33,276 --> 02:01:33,842
what do they what's working

5595
02:01:33,842 --> 02:01:36,242
well for our parks?

5596
02:01:36,489 --> 02:01:37,261
what needs improvement and more

5597
02:01:37,261 --> 02:01:39,356
importantly with all the things

5598
02:01:39,356 --> 02:01:39,895
that we want to do, how do we

5599
02:01:39,895 --> 02:01:40,933
prioritize those?

5600
02:01:40,933 --> 02:01:41,911
so that was an important thing

5601
02:01:41,911 --> 02:01:43,869
to update it since it hadn't

5602
02:01:43,869 --> 02:01:45,720
been done since 2008.

5603
02:01:45,720 --> 02:01:48,170
the second reason this is time

5604
02:01:48,170 --> 02:01:49,500
sensitive we need to have an

5605
02:01:49,500 --> 02:01:52,290
updated master plan to be

5606
02:01:52,290 --> 02:01:52,793
eligible for certain grants

5607
02:01:52,793 --> 02:01:55,963
including some of which are due

5608
02:01:55,963 --> 02:01:56,934
april 1st those community

5609
02:01:56,934 --> 02:01:59,536
meetings for the holstrom of a

5610
02:01:59,536 --> 02:02:00,403
park and ned mcwherter park to

5611
02:02:00,403 --> 02:02:03,403
make us eligible for those

5612
02:02:03,498 --> 02:02:06,498
grants are happening later this

5613
02:02:07,511 --> 02:02:08,370
week and first last and and

5614
02:02:08,370 --> 02:02:11,370
most important it's a framework

5615
02:02:11,750 --> 02:02:12,573
for the future of our parks.

5616
02:02:12,573 --> 02:02:13,699
it's not a plan.

5617
02:02:13,699 --> 02:02:14,637
there's no single park plan in

5618
02:02:14,637 --> 02:02:15,466
there.

5619
02:02:15,466 --> 02:02:18,466
it's consistent with the need

5620
02:02:18,489 --> 02:02:19,570
to see it as a whole holistic

5621
02:02:19,570 --> 02:02:22,961
approach and we are also moving

5622
02:02:22,961 --> 02:02:23,825
forward with a robust very,

5623
02:02:23,825 --> 02:02:26,825
very well supported by staff

5624
02:02:44,796 --> 02:02:45,749
and others vision to meet a set

5625
02:02:45,749 --> 02:02:46,513
of meetings that start next

5626
02:02:46,513 --> 02:02:47,155
week for the holiway park

5627
02:02:47,155 --> 02:02:47,984
future next steps.

5628
02:02:47,984 --> 02:02:48,231
so these are not mutually

5629
02:02:48,231 --> 02:02:49,293
exclusive.

5630
02:02:49,293 --> 02:02:49,968
we can do both and and I urge

5631
02:02:49,968 --> 02:02:50,797
you to support us tonight.

5632
02:02:50,797 --> 02:02:51,814
I think council member grant

5633
02:02:51,814 --> 02:02:52,896
was first on we we do need a

5634
02:02:52,896 --> 02:02:54,762
motion to have a debate motion

5635
02:02:54,762 --> 02:02:55,426
made to prove has been made to

5636
02:02:55,426 --> 02:02:57,589
approve and seconded council

5637
02:02:57,589 --> 02:02:59,510
member grant?

5638
02:02:59,510 --> 02:03:00,809
>> yes, I have actually I got a

5639
02:03:00,809 --> 02:03:01,670
couple of questions for our

5640
02:03:01,670 --> 02:03:01,899
parks and rec director mrs

5641
02:03:01,899 --> 02:03:03,899
cheryl.

5642
02:03:15,393 --> 02:03:15,945
she doesn't mind coming up for

5643
02:03:15,945 --> 02:03:17,945
good evening.

5644
02:03:20,312 --> 02:03:20,665
>> thank for taking the time to

5645
02:03:20,665 --> 02:03:21,786
be here.

5646
02:03:21,786 --> 02:03:23,543
I just have a couple

5647
02:03:23,543 --> 02:03:24,669
of questions.

5648
02:03:24,669 --> 02:03:25,120
first I definitely want to say

5649
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:26,234
thank you.

5650
02:03:26,234 --> 02:03:27,576
I notice has been somewhat of a

5651
02:03:27,576 --> 02:03:29,576
robust process.

5652
02:03:31,325 --> 02:03:32,391
there's been a lot going on

5653
02:03:32,391 --> 02:03:34,498
throughout the city and so you

02:03:34,498 --> 02:03:35,664

5655
02:03:35,664 --> 02:03:39,252
to you and your department one

5656
02:03:39,252 --> 02:03:40,137
of the things I would like to

5657
02:03:40,137 --> 02:03:42,725
ask because I know there was

5658
02:03:42,725 --> 02:03:44,240
mention of a deadline can you

5659
02:03:44,240 --> 02:03:47,212
can you go a little bit more in

5660
02:03:47,212 --> 02:03:50,396
detail in terms of what that

5661
02:03:50,396 --> 02:03:51,576
deadline is and what exactly

5662
02:03:51,576 --> 02:03:52,290
we're having to do as a council

5663
02:03:52,290 --> 02:03:54,290
body here tonight?

5664
02:03:55,267 --> 02:03:55,736
so you so you can move forward

5665
02:03:55,736 --> 02:03:57,736
with that application.

5666
02:03:58,656 --> 02:03:59,653
good afternoon.

5667
02:03:59,653 --> 02:03:59,996
cheryl lee, director of parks

5668
02:03:59,996 --> 02:04:01,996
and recreation.

5669
02:04:02,741 --> 02:04:03,655
thank you for that question.

5670
02:04:03,655 --> 02:04:04,513
the deadline really is one

5671
02:04:04,513 --> 02:04:07,296
of the things that happens the

5672
02:04:07,296 --> 02:04:10,422
state is obligated us to do a

5673
02:04:10,422 --> 02:04:11,391
master plan and to do so we

5674
02:04:11,391 --> 02:04:13,669
have to have public input and

5675
02:04:13,669 --> 02:04:14,100
so we are doing that public

5676
02:04:14,100 --> 02:04:15,121
input.

5677
02:04:15,121 --> 02:04:17,499
the biggest thing is we have to

5678
02:04:17,499 --> 02:04:18,446
also have it authorized and

5679
02:04:18,446 --> 02:04:20,846
approved legislatively by the

5680
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:22,911
governing body to basically

5681
02:04:22,911 --> 02:04:25,694
have a qualified master plan

5682
02:04:25,694 --> 02:04:26,637
of any kind.

5683
02:04:26,637 --> 02:04:30,310
and so the deadline really was

5684
02:04:30,310 --> 02:04:31,201
we've been working on this for

5685
02:04:31,201 --> 02:04:33,772
a year and it's time for the

5686
02:04:33,772 --> 02:04:34,814
approval of it.

5687
02:04:34,814 --> 02:04:36,100
I think the mayor talked about

5688
02:04:36,100 --> 02:04:37,547
us trying to apply for a couple

5689
02:04:37,547 --> 02:04:38,560
of grants.

5690
02:04:38,560 --> 02:04:41,122
that is one of the deadlines

5691
02:04:41,122 --> 02:04:42,110
but the biggest thing is this

5692
02:04:42,110 --> 02:04:44,898
plan has been out for about a

5693
02:04:44,898 --> 02:04:45,827
year for about a year.

5694
02:04:45,827 --> 02:04:48,805
it's been out for public

5695
02:04:48,805 --> 02:04:49,958
comment since january so that

5696
02:04:49,958 --> 02:04:52,936
the basically the meets of this

5697
02:04:52,936 --> 02:04:53,720
of this plan has already been

5698
02:04:53,720 --> 02:04:56,720
out for more than 30 days.

5699
02:04:57,450 --> 02:04:57,700
so there's been that

5700
02:04:57,700 --> 02:04:58,559
opportunity for any and

5701
02:04:58,559 --> 02:05:00,919
everyone to review that to

5702
02:05:00,919 --> 02:05:02,919
review the document.

5703
02:05:04,651 --> 02:05:06,651
thank you.

5704
02:05:08,804 --> 02:05:09,782
council member debartolo oh,

5705
02:05:09,782 --> 02:05:12,540
I'm sorry that were you I

5706
02:05:12,540 --> 02:05:12,763
thought you were done.

5707
02:05:12,763 --> 02:05:14,763
we don't know.

5708
02:05:15,717 --> 02:05:16,751
ok, so I know that's fine.

5709
02:05:16,751 --> 02:05:19,719
just wanted to speak to a

5710
02:05:19,719 --> 02:05:22,795
couple of things because I want

5711
02:05:22,795 --> 02:05:23,970
us to take the time moving

5712
02:05:23,970 --> 02:05:26,970
forward and consider the optics

5713
02:05:27,377 --> 02:05:30,468
of things right when you have a

5714
02:05:30,468 --> 02:05:31,516
drawn out process like this and

5715
02:05:31,516 --> 02:05:34,516
two weeks before the deadline

5716
02:05:35,297 --> 02:05:36,222
it's kind put in front of us.

5717
02:05:36,222 --> 02:05:38,515
it's almost kind of like we

5718
02:05:38,515 --> 02:05:39,510
have no choice but to move

5719
02:05:39,510 --> 02:05:40,108
forward.

5720
02:05:40,108 --> 02:05:40,985
right, because we want to be

5721
02:05:40,985 --> 02:05:44,585
able to to meet this deadline

5722
02:05:45,202 --> 02:05:45,544
and so I'm excited about this

5723
02:05:45,544 --> 02:05:47,544
master plan.

5724
02:05:48,711 --> 02:05:49,469
I have seen some things that

5725
02:05:49,469 --> 02:05:51,869
are questionable obviously how

5726
02:05:54,988 --> 02:05:55,548
we park being a a topic we have

5727
02:05:55,548 --> 02:05:56,487
to do better.

5728
02:05:56,487 --> 02:05:57,473
I mean there's some things that

5729
02:05:57,473 --> 02:05:59,457
I am questioning and there are

5730
02:05:59,457 --> 02:06:00,556
some things that I am concerned

5731
02:06:00,556 --> 02:06:03,458
about the master plan in it not

5732
02:06:03,458 --> 02:06:07,580
including much of how we part

5733
02:06:07,183 --> 02:06:08,630
now this time last year to how

5734
02:06:08,630 --> 02:06:08,735
we park wasn't a topic because

5735
02:06:08,735 --> 02:06:11,222
there were there was intentions

5736
02:06:11,222 --> 02:06:11,989
to do something with it that

5737
02:06:11,989 --> 02:06:14,389
matters that matters when

5738
02:06:15,375 --> 02:06:15,832
you're here in the community

5739
02:06:15,832 --> 02:06:17,832
asking for feedback.

5740
02:06:18,862 --> 02:06:19,905
>> most people don't know you

5741
02:06:19,905 --> 02:06:22,599
know, up until actually until

5742
02:06:22,599 --> 02:06:25,593
june 30th it's still a special

5743
02:06:25,593 --> 02:06:26,363
event space right will be

5744
02:06:26,363 --> 02:06:26,716
hopefully transitioning it over

5745
02:06:26,716 --> 02:06:28,716
to you.

5746
02:06:30,359 --> 02:06:31,456
but when you put survey out and

5747
02:06:31,456 --> 02:06:32,160
say hey, what do you want us to

5748
02:06:32,160 --> 02:06:33,421
do with our parks?

5749
02:06:33,421 --> 02:06:34,485
how we park isn't considered

5750
02:06:34,485 --> 02:06:37,361
and so I just kind of wish

5751
02:06:37,361 --> 02:06:38,146
there was more of a campaign

5752
02:06:38,146 --> 02:06:39,246
and let people know like hey

5753
02:06:39,246 --> 02:06:41,411
joe how he park is now going to

5754
02:06:41,411 --> 02:06:42,401
be a part of our master plan

5755
02:06:42,401 --> 02:06:45,284
back in january or back in

5756
02:06:45,284 --> 02:06:45,959
september when it was realized

5757
02:06:45,959 --> 02:06:48,851
that we weren't moving forward

5758
02:06:48,851 --> 02:06:49,893
with the other option.

5759
02:06:49,893 --> 02:06:52,766
and so yeah, that's water under

5760
02:06:52,766 --> 02:06:54,100
the bridge right now.

5761
02:06:54,100 --> 02:06:54,894
but you know, I don't want to

5762
02:06:54,894 --> 02:06:57,503
take away from the work you put

5763
02:06:57,503 --> 02:06:58,364
in and carlos but I do want to

5764
02:06:58,364 --> 02:07:01,150
make sure that we're mindful

5765
02:07:01,150 --> 02:07:04,750
of this because we can't let

5766
02:07:05,151 --> 02:07:05,944
our lack of effort in doing

5767
02:07:05,944 --> 02:07:08,847
things in a timely manner put

5768
02:07:08,847 --> 02:07:09,907
us in a position as councilor

5769
02:07:09,907 --> 02:07:13,810
where here we are two weeks

5770
02:07:13,810 --> 02:07:13,843
before deadline and we're

5771
02:07:13,843 --> 02:07:16,843
forced to pretty much vote.

5772
02:07:17,188 --> 02:07:20,709
if not, we won't support that

5773
02:07:20,709 --> 02:07:21,365
we need in terms of grants so I

5774
02:07:21,365 --> 02:07:22,517
appreciate your effort.

5775
02:07:22,517 --> 02:07:23,182
I just want you to know that I

5776
02:07:23,182 --> 02:07:24,657
definitely appreciate your

5777
02:07:24,657 --> 02:07:28,690
effort and I look forward to

5778
02:07:28,690 --> 02:07:28,828
this to this process and seeing

5779
02:07:28,828 --> 02:07:29,324
how it turns out.

5780
02:07:29,324 --> 02:07:31,324
thank you.

5781
02:07:32,248 --> 02:07:32,843
council member arlington.

5782
02:07:32,843 --> 02:07:33,342
um, yes.

5783
02:07:33,342 --> 02:07:35,342
thank you.

5784
02:07:35,665 --> 02:07:36,342
so at first glance I found the

5785
02:07:36,342 --> 02:07:39,319
two hundred twenty four page

5786
02:07:39,319 --> 02:07:42,319
study overwhelming and then I

5787
02:07:43,270 --> 02:07:43,988
dug into it and I'm impressed

5788
02:07:43,988 --> 02:07:46,988
with the rigor with the

5789
02:07:47,375 --> 02:07:48,330
organization and I'm excited

5790
02:07:48,330 --> 02:07:48,951
about the future of anoxia.

5791
02:07:48,951 --> 02:07:50,908
we're knoxville's indoor and

5792
02:07:50,908 --> 02:07:52,908
outdoor spaces.

5793
02:07:53,628 --> 02:07:54,583
this is a community road map

5794
02:07:54,583 --> 02:07:57,583
for our active and passive

5795
02:07:58,189 --> 02:07:58,958
public spaces and really the

5796
02:07:58,958 --> 02:08:01,958
next faster than taking this

5797
02:08:01,966 --> 02:08:02,706
this road work and setting

5798
02:08:02,706 --> 02:08:04,706
priorities, allocating funds,

5799
02:08:06,392 --> 02:08:09,392
applying for funds and then

5800
02:08:09,969 --> 02:08:10,942
competent execution and it

5801
02:08:10,942 --> 02:08:14,580
is helpful it's been helpful to

5802
02:08:14,580 --> 02:08:14,924
me to have conversations with

5803
02:08:14,924 --> 02:08:18,400
my constituents that this is a

5804
02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:19,640
framework for the next level

5805
02:08:19,640 --> 02:08:20,350
of discussion, be a tool to

5806
02:08:20,350 --> 02:08:22,428
help city staff come back to

5807
02:08:22,428 --> 02:08:25,342
this council with what they

5808
02:08:25,342 --> 02:08:28,786
hope the next steps would be.

5809
02:08:28,786 --> 02:08:29,627
the plan is required by the

5810
02:08:29,627 --> 02:08:32,270
bitd to secure funding.

5811
02:08:32,871 --> 02:08:33,986
we need that funding.

5812
02:08:33,986 --> 02:08:34,551
the plan includes a list

5813
02:08:34,551 --> 02:08:37,551
of private state federal grants

5814
02:08:37,630 --> 02:08:38,618
that the city can plot for that

5815
02:08:38,618 --> 02:08:38,973
on page two or four three two

5816
02:08:38,973 --> 02:08:40,283
eight eight.

5817
02:08:40,283 --> 02:08:41,380
if you're wondering it includes

5818
02:08:41,380 --> 02:08:43,438
criteria that city capital

5819
02:08:44,450 --> 02:08:44,912
projects committee will use to

5820
02:08:44,912 --> 02:08:46,912
make these decisions.

5821
02:08:48,455 --> 02:08:48,799
that's page 212 217 page one

5822
02:08:48,799 --> 02:08:50,799
ninety nine.

5823
02:08:52,283 --> 02:08:53,680
I was mind blowing to me it was

5824
02:08:53,680 --> 02:08:55,785
it was a helpful framework to

5825
02:08:55,785 --> 02:08:56,862
understand how to go back to

5826
02:08:56,862 --> 02:08:57,722
the beginning and how to go to

5827
02:08:57,722 --> 02:09:00,294
the end and basically it

5828
02:09:00,294 --> 02:09:01,163
recommended where basketball

5829
02:09:01,163 --> 02:09:01,632
courts should be, where tennis

5830
02:09:01,632 --> 02:09:03,632
courts should be.

5831
02:09:04,268 --> 02:09:04,946
we're square fields should be

5832
02:09:04,946 --> 02:09:07,185
where swimming pools should be.

5833
02:09:07,185 --> 02:09:08,226
we're walking trails.

5834
02:09:08,226 --> 02:09:11,226
there was an incredible thing

5835
02:09:11,837 --> 02:09:12,732
where it's I've got a page here

5836
02:09:12,732 --> 02:09:15,631
you can't see it but basically

5837
02:09:15,631 --> 02:09:16,296
it takes indoor cintas walking

5838
02:09:16,296 --> 02:09:18,696
lubes natural areas, water

5839
02:09:19,379 --> 02:09:19,835
accessories, parks, pools, all

5840
02:09:19,835 --> 02:09:21,835
these different recreation

5841
02:09:23,226 --> 02:09:24,101
opportunities and it tells us

5842
02:09:24,101 --> 02:09:26,802
the condition that those spaces

5843
02:09:26,802 --> 02:09:27,883
are in and what the recommended

5844
02:09:27,883 --> 02:09:31,186
for those places are and I

5845
02:09:31,186 --> 02:09:31,943
found that very helpful a great

5846
02:09:31,943 --> 02:09:34,343
inventory about deciding what

5847
02:09:35,370 --> 02:09:38,637
we are going to do next.

5848
02:09:39,194 --> 02:09:40,660
I would like to ask well what

5849
02:09:40,660 --> 02:09:40,520
so I was impressed with the

5850
02:09:40,520 --> 02:09:42,520
public participation.

5851
02:09:43,238 --> 02:09:44,113
I participated myself both

5852
02:09:44,113 --> 02:09:47,322
online and in go into meetings

5853
02:09:47,322 --> 02:09:48,114
and fountain city happens to be

5854
02:09:48,114 --> 02:09:48,678
very active when it comes to

5855
02:09:48,678 --> 02:09:51,780
their community rec center.

5856
02:09:51,396 --> 02:09:52,379
there's baseball fields so they

5857
02:09:52,379 --> 02:09:55,560
showed out in droves and so I

5858
02:09:55,560 --> 02:09:55,802
went to two very well attended

5859
02:09:55,802 --> 02:09:56,950
meetings.

5860
02:09:56,950 --> 02:09:58,617
I heard that some were not well

5861
02:09:58,617 --> 02:10:01,617
attended but again had the

5862
02:10:02,224 --> 02:10:05,824
opportunity to go online and do

5863
02:10:06,435 --> 02:10:09,470
these things so question I have

5864
02:10:09,470 --> 02:10:10,395
well I'll begin with this.

5865
02:10:10,395 --> 02:10:12,550
I think it's it is it's

5866
02:10:12,550 --> 02:10:15,550
rightful to think about holiway

5867
02:10:16,255 --> 02:10:18,655
park and I personally

5868
02:10:19,848 --> 02:10:20,915
appreciate the manner in which

5869
02:10:20,915 --> 02:10:24,301
this plan talks about how we

5870
02:10:24,301 --> 02:10:24,851
park and it's very it's not

5871
02:10:24,851 --> 02:10:25,982
very much there.

5872
02:10:25,982 --> 02:10:28,474
it's on page one seventy five

5873
02:10:28,474 --> 02:10:29,339
under neighborhood park vision

5874
02:10:29,339 --> 02:10:32,339
so it calls schwarzbart a

5875
02:10:32,745 --> 02:10:33,209
neighborhood park and it has a

5876
02:10:33,209 --> 02:10:35,209
little arrow out.

5877
02:10:36,265 --> 02:10:37,344
this is discussions ongoing for

5878
02:10:37,344 --> 02:10:40,522
chally park to be managed by

5879
02:10:40,522 --> 02:10:43,522
praed parks and rec department

5880
02:10:43,699 --> 02:10:46,699
starting in twenty twenty six

5881
02:10:48,100 --> 02:10:49,148
discussions are going.

5882
02:10:49,148 --> 02:10:50,141
I love that the plan does not

5883
02:10:50,141 --> 02:10:51,818
prescribe what we do with the

5884
02:10:51,818 --> 02:10:55,203
park except describes it as a

5885
02:10:55,203 --> 02:10:56,286
neighborhood park which while

5886
02:10:56,286 --> 02:10:59,886
we really want to ask two

5887
02:10:59,891 --> 02:11:03,272
questions one at will parks and

5888
02:11:03,272 --> 02:11:04,229
recreation department be taking

5889
02:11:04,229 --> 02:11:06,825
over the management of how we

5890
02:11:06,825 --> 02:11:07,693
park after the current legends

5891
02:11:07,693 --> 02:11:10,930
contract expires this summer.

5892
02:11:10,724 --> 02:11:11,603
>> mr. Debartolo, I'm going to

5893
02:11:11,603 --> 02:11:14,711
be proposing that in the budget

5894
02:11:14,711 --> 02:11:18,307
and so with that change will

5895
02:11:18,307 --> 02:11:19,289
come money that that cheryl

5896
02:11:19,289 --> 02:11:19,520
lee's team will need to have

5897
02:11:19,520 --> 02:11:20,737
that.

5898
02:11:20,737 --> 02:11:22,805
so yes, that is the plan

5899
02:11:22,805 --> 02:11:23,584
subject to your review and

5900
02:11:23,584 --> 02:11:26,755
approval this body will have to

5901
02:11:26,755 --> 02:11:27,632
make sure that we have the

5902
02:11:27,632 --> 02:11:30,228
resources such a high park can

5903
02:11:30,228 --> 02:11:30,992
be managed at the same level as

5904
02:11:30,992 --> 02:11:32,226
parks across the city.

5905
02:11:32,226 --> 02:11:34,584
ok, and then secondly I have

5906
02:11:34,584 --> 02:11:35,257
is the creation of the highway

5907
02:11:35,257 --> 02:11:38,480
park advisory group which we've

5908
02:11:38,480 --> 02:11:39,120
heard some feedback on first

5909
02:11:39,120 --> 02:11:42,120
public meeting is next week.

5910
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:42,992
and so my question is this is a

5911
02:11:42,992 --> 02:11:43,226
statement from from you mayor

5912
02:11:43,226 --> 02:11:44,333
kincannon.

5913
02:11:44,333 --> 02:11:45,591
as promised, the city is moving

5914
02:11:45,591 --> 02:11:46,563
forward collaboratively towards

5915
02:11:46,563 --> 02:11:49,332
a community driven future for

5916
02:11:49,332 --> 02:11:50,457
charlie park.

5917
02:11:50,457 --> 02:11:52,932
so my question is how will the

5918
02:11:52,932 --> 02:11:53,698
charkaoui park advisory group

5919
02:11:53,698 --> 02:11:56,980
create a collaborative and

5920
02:11:57,303 --> 02:11:59,303
community driven process?

5921
02:12:00,954 --> 02:12:03,956
well, I I as I'll try to answer

5922
02:12:03,956 --> 02:12:04,928
this first is the the process

5923
02:12:04,928 --> 02:12:08,252
going to start next week and

5924
02:12:08,252 --> 02:12:09,120
the community advisory group,

5925
02:12:09,120 --> 02:12:09,805
this group of people there's

5926
02:12:09,805 --> 02:12:10,448
people who have a lot

5927
02:12:10,448 --> 02:12:12,632
of different perspectives and

5928
02:12:12,632 --> 02:12:13,510
backgrounds as someone said,

5929
02:12:13,510 --> 02:12:16,201
there are some people on that

5930
02:12:16,201 --> 02:12:16,870
group who were very maybe

5931
02:12:16,870 --> 02:12:17,113
supportive of the emerald

5932
02:12:17,113 --> 02:12:18,450
initiative.

5933
02:12:18,450 --> 02:12:20,422
there's others who are not

5934
02:12:20,422 --> 02:12:22,822
supportive that that's that's

5935
02:12:23,804 --> 02:12:24,390
old news that we're moving

5936
02:12:24,390 --> 02:12:25,830
beyond.

5937
02:12:25,830 --> 02:12:28,471
we have a clean slate and we're

5938
02:12:28,471 --> 02:12:29,149
going to use the information we

5939
02:12:29,149 --> 02:12:31,410
have collected from the

5940
02:12:31,410 --> 02:12:31,366
twenty nineteen vision program

5941
02:12:31,366 --> 02:12:32,488
.

5942
02:12:32,488 --> 02:12:33,588
the idea that this is going to

5943
02:12:33,588 --> 02:12:36,760
be a park now not just a park

5944
02:12:36,760 --> 02:12:36,757
in name obviously the named

5945
02:12:36,757 --> 02:12:39,630
shehabi park's been around one

5946
02:12:39,630 --> 02:12:40,430
hundred years but it has been

5947
02:12:40,430 --> 02:12:43,133
operated as an event space for

5948
02:12:43,133 --> 02:12:44,540
I don't know decades.

5949
02:12:44,540 --> 02:12:44,712
so we're going to have

5950
02:12:44,712 --> 02:12:47,112
stakeholders from the current

5951
02:13:05,151 --> 02:13:06,806
tenants which is the you know,

5952
02:13:06,806 --> 02:13:07,350
ace jim the fair, the zoo, the

5953
02:13:07,350 --> 02:13:07,807
museum also nearby

5954
02:13:07,807 --> 02:13:08,480
neighborhoods business folks

5955
02:13:08,480 --> 02:13:09,356
and they're going to convene

5956
02:13:09,356 --> 02:13:10,440
and have a group of a set

5957
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:10,622
of meetings to talk about what

5958
02:13:10,622 --> 02:13:11,356
the vision should be.

5959
02:13:11,356 --> 02:13:12,150
what does the neighborhood park

5960
02:13:12,150 --> 02:13:12,710
look like to one person might

5961
02:13:12,710 --> 02:13:12,947
be different from another

5962
02:13:12,947 --> 02:13:13,866
person.

5963
02:13:13,866 --> 02:13:14,102
some people the focus is on

5964
02:13:14,102 --> 02:13:14,838
sports.

5965
02:13:14,838 --> 02:13:15,509
other people might be passive

5966
02:13:15,509 --> 02:13:16,544
park and trees and gardens.

5967
02:13:16,544 --> 02:13:17,447
can we serve all of those also

5968
02:13:17,447 --> 02:13:18,622
it's going to be a way for

5969
02:13:18,622 --> 02:13:19,311
people to have to be a funnel

5970
02:13:19,311 --> 02:13:21,384
for information so they know

5971
02:13:21,384 --> 02:13:22,431
what constraints we are as far

5972
02:13:22,431 --> 02:13:25,431
as you know, underwater issues

5973
02:13:26,728 --> 02:13:30,100
hydrogel cast and all of that

5974
02:13:30,100 --> 02:13:30,885
but also a funnel out a spout

5975
02:13:30,885 --> 02:13:33,241
or a spigot of information out

5976
02:13:33,241 --> 02:13:34,550
to the community.

5977
02:13:34,550 --> 02:13:34,722
so the group receives

5978
02:13:34,722 --> 02:13:37,122
information in and shares

5979
02:13:37,293 --> 02:13:39,293
information out.

5980
02:13:41,530 --> 02:13:42,229
so I don't know if miss justice

5981
02:13:42,229 --> 02:13:44,289
you you and your team are sort

5982
02:13:44,289 --> 02:13:44,932
of leading this effort along

5983
02:13:44,932 --> 02:13:46,932
with other staff.

5984
02:13:48,850 --> 02:13:49,139
so there's a community there's

5985
02:13:49,139 --> 02:13:52,139
the cpa, the park advisory

5986
02:13:52,244 --> 02:13:52,888
group but there's going to be a

5987
02:13:52,888 --> 02:13:54,300
lot of staff there.

5988
02:13:54,300 --> 02:13:56,393
I'm, you know, very supportive

5989
02:13:56,393 --> 02:13:57,230
of this process.

5990
02:13:57,230 --> 02:13:59,393
I'm not dictating you know,

5991
02:13:59,393 --> 02:13:59,732
we're not dictating the outcome

5992
02:13:59,732 --> 02:14:00,677
.

5993
02:14:00,677 --> 02:14:01,132
we're just saying here we are

5994
02:14:01,132 --> 02:14:03,132
to support this.

5995
02:14:03,651 --> 02:14:04,324
barbara mcmurry is going to

5996
02:14:04,324 --> 02:14:07,324
help facilitate it similar to

5997
02:14:07,951 --> 02:14:08,810
what we had outside facilitated

5998
02:14:08,810 --> 02:14:09,530
for the south waterfront

5999
02:14:09,530 --> 02:14:11,530
misjudges.

6000
02:14:12,507 --> 02:14:13,760
could you speak maybe elaborate

6001
02:14:13,760 --> 02:14:14,110
a little bit more?

6002
02:14:14,110 --> 02:14:16,820
we're working very closely with

6003
02:14:16,820 --> 02:14:19,682
the council member of grant and

6004
02:14:20,276 --> 02:14:21,249
council member healthlink on

6005
02:14:21,249 --> 02:14:24,636
how this can move forward and

6006
02:14:24,636 --> 02:14:25,416
mr justice, maybe you can

6007
02:14:25,416 --> 02:14:28,224
elaborate a little so we will

6008
02:14:28,224 --> 02:14:29,890
ask people to come together in

6009
02:14:29,890 --> 02:14:29,837
these workshops to sit around

6010
02:14:29,837 --> 02:14:32,237
the table and have

6011
02:14:32,523 --> 02:14:33,276
conversations and do workshop

6012
02:14:33,276 --> 02:14:35,676
activities where we share

6013
02:14:36,659 --> 02:14:39,136
stories and memories of the

6014
02:14:39,136 --> 02:14:40,307
park and also what's important

6015
02:14:40,307 --> 02:14:43,315
to people to see as the park

6016
02:14:43,315 --> 02:14:44,198
grows and takes shape to really

6017
02:14:44,198 --> 02:14:44,431
be what knoxville needs for the

6018
02:14:44,431 --> 02:14:46,431
future.

6019
02:14:48,690 --> 02:14:49,400
so how we do that is we've

6020
02:14:49,400 --> 02:14:51,716
asked people to be a member

6021
02:14:51,716 --> 02:14:52,574
of this group and represent

6022
02:14:52,574 --> 02:14:55,574
their community but also share

6023
02:14:55,748 --> 02:14:55,990
information back from the

6024
02:14:55,990 --> 02:14:57,990
group.

6025
02:14:59,550 --> 02:14:59,824
so it's you know, the funnel

6026
02:14:59,824 --> 02:15:00,851
of information works both ways.

6027
02:15:00,851 --> 02:15:03,621
so we're really excited about

6028
02:15:03,621 --> 02:15:04,185
bringing people together to

6029
02:15:04,185 --> 02:15:05,400
learn those community insights

6030
02:15:05,400 --> 02:15:07,440
and what people feel

6031
02:15:10,254 --> 02:15:11,275
is important for the future.

6032
02:15:11,275 --> 02:15:13,317
I'm not sure who is next.

6033
02:15:13,317 --> 02:15:14,327
maybe council member honeycut.

6034
02:15:14,327 --> 02:15:16,727
I actually think councilwoman

6035
02:15:18,342 --> 02:15:21,738
adams or remember I spoke with

6036
02:15:21,738 --> 02:15:22,811
council member adams I think

6037
02:15:22,811 --> 02:15:24,200
yours was next that there's a

6038
02:15:24,200 --> 02:15:24,531
lot of light so a lot of lights

6039
02:15:24,531 --> 02:15:25,225
.

6040
02:15:25,225 --> 02:15:26,472
um, thank you.

6041
02:15:26,472 --> 02:15:29,184
I wanted to say thank you to

6042
02:15:29,184 --> 02:15:32,466
parks rec for all the work with

6043
02:15:32,466 --> 02:15:33,449
the survey and certainly to

6044
02:15:33,449 --> 02:15:36,257
carlos perez for all the work

6045
02:15:36,257 --> 02:15:37,498
in putting the plan together.

6046
02:15:37,498 --> 02:15:39,360
I too got to attend some of the

6047
02:15:39,360 --> 02:15:40,432
sessions they were well

6048
02:15:40,432 --> 02:15:41,577
attended where I where I went.

6049
02:15:41,577 --> 02:15:43,877
I was great to see the feedback

6050
02:15:43,877 --> 02:15:46,986
that came back from people and

6051
02:15:46,986 --> 02:15:47,949
just all the exercises to both

6052
02:15:47,949 --> 02:15:50,949
help people understand how the

6053
02:15:51,169 --> 02:15:52,251
information was to be collected

6054
02:15:52,251 --> 02:15:53,249
, what would happen with it and

6055
02:15:53,249 --> 02:15:53,903
then to really engage with the

6056
02:15:53,903 --> 02:15:55,903
different options there.

6057
02:15:58,170 --> 02:16:01,745
um, I also want to acknowledge

6058
02:16:01,745 --> 02:16:02,307
that as a council member I

6059
02:16:02,307 --> 02:16:04,707
benefited greatly from being

6060
02:16:05,605 --> 02:16:06,481
able to sit with mr. Perez and

6061
02:16:06,481 --> 02:16:09,248
have him walk through a very

6062
02:16:09,248 --> 02:16:10,279
robust study.

6063
02:16:10,279 --> 02:16:13,600
I got comments from the public

6064
02:16:13,600 --> 02:16:13,402
about so long how do I go

6065
02:16:13,402 --> 02:16:14,227
through this?

6066
02:16:14,227 --> 02:16:16,459
I shared this with him.

6067
02:16:16,459 --> 02:16:17,420
I know that many people

6068
02:16:17,420 --> 02:16:20,420
experience that but having his

6069
02:16:20,997 --> 02:16:21,764
walk through helped me see the

6070
02:16:21,764 --> 02:16:24,441
highlights and at the end

6071
02:16:24,441 --> 02:16:25,514
of that I did ask is there any

6072
02:16:25,514 --> 02:16:28,480
way that we could have sort

6073
02:16:28,480 --> 02:16:29,452
of a summary dec that could

6074
02:16:29,452 --> 02:16:30,392
have gone out to the public?

6075
02:16:30,392 --> 02:16:32,501
and that's where I really got

6076
02:16:32,501 --> 02:16:33,740
educated on the time frame the

6077
02:16:33,740 --> 02:16:35,474
funding opportunities and how

6078
02:16:36,451 --> 02:16:37,200
important that is that is why

6079
02:16:37,200 --> 02:16:37,545
I'm not supporting postponing

6080
02:16:37,545 --> 02:16:39,545
this tonight.

6081
02:16:39,965 --> 02:16:41,500
I want to make that clear.

6082
02:16:41,500 --> 02:16:43,902
I see how this plan supports

6083
02:16:43,902 --> 02:16:47,405
future good work that the city

6084
02:16:47,405 --> 02:16:48,343
needs but I would ask that for

6085
02:16:48,343 --> 02:16:51,343
future processes of this kind

6086
02:16:51,631 --> 02:16:52,407
of thing that we include in the

6087
02:16:52,407 --> 02:16:55,407
scope when there's a great

6088
02:16:55,804 --> 02:16:56,440
robust study that is dig on the

6089
02:16:56,440 --> 02:16:56,980
study.

6090
02:16:56,980 --> 02:16:58,764
the study is great but that we

6091
02:16:58,764 --> 02:16:59,640
do include a scope that has a

6092
02:16:59,640 --> 02:17:03,128
summary dec that people can can

6093
02:17:03,128 --> 02:17:03,924
benefit from just to make it a

6094
02:17:03,924 --> 02:17:06,718
little bit easier and build in

6095
02:17:06,718 --> 02:17:07,485
a little bit of time for people

6096
02:17:07,485 --> 02:17:09,263
to consume that summary and

6097
02:17:09,263 --> 02:17:10,120
have all of us as ambassadors

6098
02:17:10,120 --> 02:17:12,412
to go out there.

6099
02:17:13,362 --> 02:17:14,486
do you think that helps?

6100
02:17:14,486 --> 02:17:17,486
but overall and I'm not

6101
02:17:21,341 --> 02:17:22,490
speaking to the the c pag group

6102
02:17:22,490 --> 02:17:25,467
that I don't think is part

6103
02:17:25,467 --> 02:17:26,276
of this draft plan.

6104
02:17:26,276 --> 02:17:26,732
I think that's another

6105
02:17:26,732 --> 02:17:27,182
conversation that's really

6106
02:17:27,182 --> 02:17:29,890
important to have.

6107
02:17:29,890 --> 02:17:29,873
but I'm talking about this

6108
02:17:29,873 --> 02:17:32,455
draft plan and I am very

6109
02:17:32,455 --> 02:17:32,795
thankful for it and supportive

6110
02:17:32,795 --> 02:17:33,286
.

6111
02:17:33,286 --> 02:17:33,791
thank you.

6112
02:17:33,791 --> 02:17:34,293
thank you.

6113
02:17:34,293 --> 02:17:36,293
thank you.

6114
02:17:36,819 --> 02:17:37,570
council member pirker thank you

6115
02:17:37,570 --> 02:17:39,570
mayor.

6116
02:17:40,826 --> 02:17:41,594
I had concerns about this study

6117
02:17:41,594 --> 02:17:44,594
that I expressed with the

6118
02:17:44,788 --> 02:17:47,384
consultant from day one the

6119
02:17:47,384 --> 02:17:48,234
framing of the study I found

6120
02:17:48,234 --> 02:17:50,634
quite problematic one aspect

6121
02:17:51,219 --> 02:17:51,881
of it being that there's no

6122
02:17:51,881 --> 02:17:53,881
differentiation between

6123
02:17:59,125 --> 02:18:00,105
residents um proximity to city

6124
02:18:00,105 --> 02:18:02,505
managed amenities and privately

6125
02:18:03,482 --> 02:18:04,404
managed amenities.

6126
02:18:04,404 --> 02:18:07,241
I find that very concerning.

6127
02:18:07,241 --> 02:18:08,300
uh, one reason is because

6128
02:18:08,300 --> 02:18:10,403
throughout this process and

6129
02:18:12,811 --> 02:18:15,575
over the years, uh, my

6130
02:18:15,575 --> 02:18:16,438
community where I currently

6131
02:18:16,438 --> 02:18:19,228
live in east nashville has

6132
02:18:19,228 --> 02:18:20,189
consistently complained about

6133
02:18:20,189 --> 02:18:23,189
uh ballfields that are locked

6134
02:18:23,484 --> 02:18:24,440
up the community and have

6135
02:18:24,440 --> 02:18:25,238
access to those ballfields so

6136
02:18:25,238 --> 02:18:26,821
they don't have that pride and

6137
02:18:26,821 --> 02:18:27,722
ownership over those all fields

6138
02:18:27,722 --> 02:18:28,509
so they don't show up for the

6139
02:18:28,509 --> 02:18:30,909
community meetings and the

6140
02:18:31,889 --> 02:18:32,547
discussion about plans because

6141
02:18:32,547 --> 02:18:34,947
they keep getting ignored.

6142
02:18:35,212 --> 02:18:35,745
we went through a year long

6143
02:18:35,745 --> 02:18:37,745
process.

6144
02:18:38,178 --> 02:18:40,578
that aspect completely ignored

6145
02:18:41,569 --> 02:18:43,569
for a year.

6146
02:18:45,330 --> 02:18:46,203
I just got a complaint today

6147
02:18:46,203 --> 02:18:49,203
about ballfields and how they

6148
02:18:49,389 --> 02:18:50,749
were used over the weekend and

6149
02:18:50,749 --> 02:18:54,949
who has access to them and who

6150
02:18:55,554 --> 02:18:57,554
does not.

6151
02:18:59,513 --> 02:19:00,376
I also got a complaint about

6152
02:19:00,376 --> 02:19:03,376
ned mcwherter park over the

6153
02:19:03,454 --> 02:19:04,408
weekend and the bathmat store

6154
02:19:04,408 --> 02:19:07,408
competition and what's going on

6155
02:19:08,519 --> 02:19:09,604
with the boat ramps at ned

6156
02:19:09,604 --> 02:19:12,950
mcwherter park and I told them

6157
02:19:12,950 --> 02:19:12,955
well I know there's some

6158
02:19:12,955 --> 02:19:15,731
renovations coming but let me

6159
02:19:15,731 --> 02:19:17,731
check into it.

6160
02:19:19,696 --> 02:19:20,565
they took the whole duck that

6161
02:19:20,565 --> 02:19:23,343
the boat paddlers have been

6162
02:19:23,343 --> 02:19:23,677
used and ripped off of the side

6163
02:19:23,677 --> 02:19:24,593
.

6164
02:19:24,593 --> 02:19:25,374
it's now floating down the

6165
02:19:25,374 --> 02:19:27,971
river and now these new docks

6166
02:19:27,971 --> 02:19:28,645
have been put and I guess maybe

6167
02:19:28,645 --> 02:19:31,530
these are the improvements I'd

6168
02:19:31,530 --> 02:19:32,189
give someone a chance to

6169
02:19:32,189 --> 02:19:34,589
explain it to me.

6170
02:19:36,135 --> 02:19:36,908
but these folks are prepared to

6171
02:19:36,908 --> 02:19:39,908
go to thursday's public meeting

6172
02:19:40,780 --> 02:19:40,964
or maybe the one on the

6173
02:19:40,964 --> 02:19:43,752
twenty something because no one

6174
02:19:43,752 --> 02:19:44,627
communicated with them about

6175
02:19:44,627 --> 02:19:47,627
this potential project that it

6176
02:19:48,190 --> 02:19:48,782
seems like we're trying to rush

6177
02:19:48,782 --> 02:19:51,460
ahead for because there's

6178
02:19:51,460 --> 02:19:51,833
potential money that we can

6179
02:19:51,833 --> 02:19:54,610
apply for but we're not working

6180
02:19:54,610 --> 02:19:55,468
with the community that

6181
02:19:55,468 --> 02:19:58,468
actually uses these spaces to

6182
02:19:59,479 --> 02:20:00,456
give them a heads up about

6183
02:20:00,456 --> 02:20:03,627
whether it's going to be a

6184
02:20:03,627 --> 02:20:04,471
temporary interruption for the

6185
02:20:04,471 --> 02:20:06,649
bass masters competition or

6186
02:20:06,649 --> 02:20:10,640
whether this is going to be an

6187
02:20:10,640 --> 02:20:11,681
ongoing long term change.

6188
02:20:11,681 --> 02:20:12,437
and if that's the case, what

6189
02:20:12,437 --> 02:20:15,437
they're telling me is that

6190
02:20:18,667 --> 02:20:19,845
these new motor boat docks are

6191
02:20:19,845 --> 02:20:22,607
not safe for them to use with

6192
02:20:22,607 --> 02:20:23,751
their rowboat.

6193
02:20:23,751 --> 02:20:23,983
so why are we not having a

6194
02:20:23,983 --> 02:20:25,983
conversation?

6195
02:20:27,233 --> 02:20:30,112
I'm I'm more committed to a

6196
02:20:30,112 --> 02:20:30,767
postponement when I see us

6197
02:20:30,767 --> 02:20:33,167
rushing towards projects and

6198
02:20:33,754 --> 02:20:34,625
we're not involving the

6199
02:20:34,625 --> 02:20:37,605
community members who are using

6200
02:20:37,605 --> 02:20:38,733
those amenities.

6201
02:20:38,733 --> 02:20:39,492
it goes back to one of the

6202
02:20:39,492 --> 02:20:41,892
public forum speaker said

6203
02:20:45,742 --> 02:20:49,342
earlier trust is a something we

6204
02:20:49,533 --> 02:20:52,533
have to value during these

6205
02:20:53,721 --> 02:20:54,470
processes maintaining trust

6206
02:20:54,470 --> 02:20:56,466
that the community building

6207
02:20:56,466 --> 02:20:57,537
trust of the community and it

6208
02:20:57,537 --> 02:20:58,619
can't just be parts of the

6209
02:20:58,619 --> 02:21:01,597
community, it can't just be our

6210
02:21:01,597 --> 02:21:02,361
hand-picked community members

6211
02:21:02,361 --> 02:21:05,361
that we put on committees.

6212
02:21:05,808 --> 02:21:07,500
it can't be just the people we

6213
02:21:07,500 --> 02:21:08,971
know and like in love it has to

6214
02:21:08,971 --> 02:21:10,126
be all parts of our community

6215
02:21:10,126 --> 02:21:12,695
that we are working to build

6216
02:21:12,695 --> 02:21:13,937
trust with.

6217
02:21:13,937 --> 02:21:17,523
that means we have to listen to

6218
02:21:17,523 --> 02:21:18,468
them.

6219
02:21:18,468 --> 02:21:20,536
that means we have to slow

6220
02:21:20,536 --> 02:21:21,503
things down when the community

6221
02:21:21,503 --> 02:21:24,503
tells us we're going too fast

6222
02:21:24,503 --> 02:21:25,567
we can't just say well you

6223
02:21:25,567 --> 02:21:28,713
know, the plan works for me.

6224
02:21:28,713 --> 02:21:29,894
well, you know, over here in

6225
02:21:29,894 --> 02:21:30,129
this part of the city it'll be

6226
02:21:30,129 --> 02:21:30,956
fine.

6227
02:21:30,956 --> 02:21:32,140
y'all might be having some

6228
02:21:32,140 --> 02:21:32,470
issues but over here is going

6229
02:21:32,470 --> 02:21:34,470
to be fine.

6230
02:21:35,424 --> 02:21:36,472
let's see how this is impacting

6231
02:21:36,472 --> 02:21:39,472
our entire community and slow

6232
02:21:40,160 --> 02:21:43,160
down when we need to.

6233
02:21:43,615 --> 02:21:44,842
I have no interest in rushing.

6234
02:21:44,842 --> 02:21:48,129
I'm also concerned to hear that

6235
02:21:48,129 --> 02:21:51,129
the twenty nineteen gl how

6236
02:21:51,833 --> 02:21:52,650
housing plan is being used as a

6237
02:21:52,650 --> 02:21:53,186
reference.

6238
02:21:53,186 --> 02:21:55,953
when I when there was a

6239
02:21:55,953 --> 02:21:57,148
discussion of selling to

6240
02:21:57,148 --> 02:21:59,225
holiway park and I was in a

6241
02:21:59,225 --> 02:21:59,792
public fight with the city

6242
02:21:59,792 --> 02:22:01,792
administration about whether

6243
02:22:03,892 --> 02:22:04,880
the twenty nineteen plan was

6244
02:22:04,880 --> 02:22:08,740
the actual plan or not and what

6245
02:22:08,740 --> 02:22:08,849
was continuing to be told

6246
02:22:08,849 --> 02:22:09,810
publicly was that wasn't the

6247
02:22:09,810 --> 02:22:11,810
plan.

6248
02:22:12,113 --> 02:22:12,973
so now the public doesn't think

6249
02:22:12,973 --> 02:22:13,204
the twenty nineteen plan is the

6250
02:22:13,204 --> 02:22:15,204
plan.

6251
02:22:15,727 --> 02:22:16,814
they think there's an

6252
02:22:16,814 --> 02:22:20,414
opportunity now to create a new

6253
02:22:22,425 --> 02:22:23,473
plan but what they found out

6254
02:22:23,473 --> 02:22:27,730
is the city has handpicked who

6255
02:22:27,471 --> 02:22:31,640
they want at the table to

6256
02:22:31,640 --> 02:22:32,189
create that plan.

6257
02:22:32,189 --> 02:22:35,269
I wish it were as obviously

6258
02:22:35,269 --> 02:22:38,269
offense to everyone else in

6259
02:22:38,554 --> 02:22:39,521
this room as it is to me

6260
02:22:39,521 --> 02:22:42,521
because who else would stand

6261
02:22:43,206 --> 02:22:46,806
for that to allow a hand-picked

6262
02:22:47,336 --> 02:22:49,736
thank you, councilman vice

6263
02:22:50,926 --> 02:22:51,420
mayor pierucci.

6264
02:22:51,420 --> 02:22:53,420
thank you.

6265
02:22:54,159 --> 02:22:57,555
I just want to speak to the

6266
02:22:57,555 --> 02:23:01,155
show how a park situation to

6267
02:23:01,560 --> 02:23:02,430
absolutely agree that there has

6268
02:23:02,430 --> 02:23:05,430
to be robust public process.

6269
02:23:05,863 --> 02:23:09,463
I do not see a steering

6270
02:23:27,150 --> 02:23:27,915
committee as the end all be all

6271
02:23:27,915 --> 02:23:28,957
to decide that committee.

6272
02:23:28,957 --> 02:23:29,708
my hope would be for the record

6273
02:23:29,708 --> 02:23:30,554
that that steering committee

6274
02:23:30,554 --> 02:23:31,319
does gather information, gives

6275
02:23:31,319 --> 02:23:32,272
information out but also helps

6276
02:23:32,272 --> 02:23:33,222
create a robust public process

6277
02:23:33,222 --> 02:23:33,955
to get input from all

6278
02:23:33,955 --> 02:23:34,818
stakeholders across the

6279
02:23:34,818 --> 02:23:35,788
community that loved how we

6280
02:23:35,788 --> 02:23:36,360
park and want to see it

6281
02:23:36,360 --> 02:23:36,956
thriving.

6282
02:23:36,956 --> 02:23:37,739
we have two great anchor

6283
02:23:37,739 --> 02:23:40,511
tenants there with the zoo and

6284
02:23:40,511 --> 02:23:44,111
the muse and long, long desire

6285
02:23:44,521 --> 02:23:47,708
to see how a park be a thriving

6286
02:23:47,708 --> 02:23:49,370
park back in east knoxville.

6287
02:23:49,370 --> 02:23:52,100
so my hope is that it would be

6288
02:23:52,100 --> 02:23:55,610
a true public process I did

6289
02:23:56,170 --> 02:23:58,417
generations refind come back

6290
02:24:00,427 --> 02:24:01,213
present but there has to be a

6291
02:24:01,213 --> 02:24:03,703
timeline in which you try to

6292
02:24:03,703 --> 02:24:04,880
get that work done because

6293
02:24:04,880 --> 02:24:07,851
dragging it out for a very long

6294
02:24:07,851 --> 02:24:08,184
time won't satisfy people

6295
02:24:08,184 --> 02:24:10,184
either.

6296
02:24:10,628 --> 02:24:11,158
so this has nothing to do with

6297
02:24:11,158 --> 02:24:12,304
the vote.

6298
02:24:12,304 --> 02:24:14,523
I'm going to vote for this but

6299
02:24:14,523 --> 02:24:15,586
we talked about how we park and

6300
02:24:15,586 --> 02:24:18,584
that would be my expectation

6301
02:24:18,584 --> 02:24:22,184
is that it involved a robust

6302
02:24:22,576 --> 02:24:23,326
public process as the designs

6303
02:24:23,326 --> 02:24:25,326
that are created.

6304
02:24:27,306 --> 02:24:28,197
and I will also say for those

6305
02:24:28,197 --> 02:24:31,840
the four of us that have been

6306
02:24:31,840 --> 02:24:31,945
on council back on this plan

6307
02:24:31,945 --> 02:24:34,945
started I did appreciate the

6308
02:24:35,431 --> 02:24:38,819
one on one personal hour, hour

6309
02:24:38,819 --> 02:24:39,677
and a half long conversations

6310
02:24:39,677 --> 02:24:42,241
about three or four times

6311
02:24:42,241 --> 02:24:43,228
during this process updating us

6312
02:24:43,228 --> 02:24:46,160
where we were on the plan and

6313
02:24:46,160 --> 02:24:46,355
the feedback we've been

6314
02:24:46,355 --> 02:24:48,355
getting.

6315
02:24:49,986 --> 02:24:50,928
my questions were answered.

6316
02:24:50,928 --> 02:24:54,528
so I don't see you here,

6317
02:24:54,617 --> 02:24:55,374
carlos, but I will see you

6318
02:24:55,374 --> 02:24:56,924
because you're behind tom's

6319
02:24:56,924 --> 02:24:58,372
chair.

6320
02:24:58,372 --> 02:25:01,367
so but it's nice to see you in

6321
02:25:01,367 --> 02:25:01,595
person rather than over a

6322
02:25:01,595 --> 02:25:03,595
screen.

6323
02:25:04,736 --> 02:25:07,736
so thank you very much.

6324
02:25:08,680 --> 02:25:09,167
hey, council member thomas.

6325
02:25:09,167 --> 02:25:10,201
yes.

6326
02:25:10,201 --> 02:25:13,182
I had a question about who

6327
02:25:13,182 --> 02:25:13,539
chose the task force for

6328
02:25:13,539 --> 02:25:15,539
highway park.

6329
02:25:16,499 --> 02:25:16,850
>> uh, mr. Grant and I met

6330
02:25:16,850 --> 02:25:18,850
several times.

6331
02:25:19,717 --> 02:25:20,610
I also talked to debbie housley

6332
02:25:20,610 --> 02:25:20,898
.

6333
02:25:20,898 --> 02:25:23,898
it's an advisory group similar

6334
02:25:24,585 --> 02:25:25,400
to the way we did the south

6335
02:25:25,400 --> 02:25:27,400
waterfront advisory group.

6336
02:25:28,274 --> 02:25:29,570
it's not uh, written in stone

6337
02:25:29,570 --> 02:25:32,230
and it's not it can evolve

6338
02:25:32,230 --> 02:25:32,979
sometimes people have a lot

6339
02:25:32,979 --> 02:25:35,147
of time and then their time

6340
02:25:35,147 --> 02:25:36,273
availability changes.

6341
02:25:36,273 --> 02:25:36,613
as I mentioned, it is open to

6342
02:25:36,613 --> 02:25:38,613
the public.

6343
02:25:39,170 --> 02:25:42,711
we want it to be transparent.

6344
02:25:42,711 --> 02:25:43,887
uh, you know, this is just a

6345
02:25:43,887 --> 02:25:46,774
kicking off a process to do all

6346
02:25:46,774 --> 02:25:47,412
the things that you several

6347
02:25:47,412 --> 02:25:48,530
members have said.

6348
02:25:48,530 --> 02:25:51,103
what you know, what is the

6349
02:25:51,103 --> 02:25:51,996
community's vision and desire

6350
02:25:51,996 --> 02:25:55,910
for this park and what are the

6351
02:25:55,910 --> 02:25:55,971
constraints we have to what are

6352
02:25:55,971 --> 02:25:58,946
the opportunities and what are

6353
02:25:58,946 --> 02:25:59,866
the constraints?

6354
02:25:59,866 --> 02:26:00,835
we have some special assets

6355
02:26:00,835 --> 02:26:03,601
into how we park that are

6356
02:26:03,601 --> 02:26:05,958
unique zoo the muse, um those

6357
02:26:05,958 --> 02:26:06,994
sorts of things.

6358
02:26:06,994 --> 02:26:09,783
but it also is unique in that

6359
02:26:09,783 --> 02:26:10,430
it has, uh, magnolia avenue

6360
02:26:10,430 --> 02:26:11,464
running through it.

6361
02:26:11,464 --> 02:26:14,540
it's in the middle of a more

6362
02:26:14,540 --> 02:26:14,605
urban setting so I'm not

6363
02:26:14,605 --> 02:26:15,632
predetermining the outcome.

6364
02:26:15,632 --> 02:26:18,105
but I do think that starting

6365
02:26:18,105 --> 02:26:18,779
the meeting and having those

6366
02:26:18,779 --> 02:26:21,179
discussions and letting that

6367
02:26:22,274 --> 02:26:23,250
advisory group say do they need

6368
02:26:23,250 --> 02:26:26,242
to be bigger or smaller have

6369
02:26:26,242 --> 02:26:26,902
represented there's a lot

6370
02:26:26,902 --> 02:26:27,569
of community members who are

6371
02:26:27,569 --> 02:26:29,969
willing to participate and

6372
02:26:30,556 --> 02:26:31,229
share information on an as

6373
02:26:31,229 --> 02:26:31,572
needed basis like the cultural

6374
02:26:31,572 --> 02:26:33,572
exchange center.

6375
02:26:34,431 --> 02:26:37,431
it's heritage others who might

6376
02:26:37,634 --> 02:26:38,576
want to share information about

6377
02:26:38,576 --> 02:26:40,976
horticulture and hydrology but

6378
02:26:41,665 --> 02:26:42,652
they don't necessarily need to

6379
02:26:42,652 --> 02:26:45,338
be at all the meetings but they

6380
02:26:45,338 --> 02:26:45,792
could be there when the group

6381
02:26:45,792 --> 02:26:47,792
wants more information.

6382
02:26:49,455 --> 02:26:49,802
yeah, my question thank you for

6383
02:26:49,802 --> 02:26:50,852
all that.

6384
02:26:50,852 --> 02:26:53,229
my question mainly was just the

6385
02:26:53,229 --> 02:26:54,105
makeup of the advisory group,

6386
02:26:54,105 --> 02:26:56,995
how they were chosen and from

6387
02:26:56,995 --> 02:26:57,963
what I hear from others it's

6388
02:26:57,963 --> 02:27:00,963
flexible that members can be

6389
02:27:01,462 --> 02:27:04,946
added possibly or as I think

6390
02:27:04,946 --> 02:27:05,716
there's some I'm hearing some

6391
02:27:05,716 --> 02:27:08,716
concern in the community that

6392
02:27:08,899 --> 02:27:09,429
the task force is not

6393
02:27:09,429 --> 02:27:11,429
representative enough.

6394
02:27:12,530 --> 02:27:12,932
I don't want to be overly

6395
02:27:12,932 --> 02:27:13,388
critical but I am hearing that

6396
02:27:13,388 --> 02:27:13,769
from the community.

6397
02:27:13,769 --> 02:27:15,769
right.

6398
02:27:17,635 --> 02:27:18,198
well, I think it'd be good to

6399
02:27:18,198 --> 02:27:20,506
have this meeting again.

6400
02:27:20,506 --> 02:27:21,449
these are not my picks.

6401
02:27:21,449 --> 02:27:23,914
these are things that I worked

6402
02:27:23,914 --> 02:27:24,950
on with mr. Grant.

6403
02:27:24,950 --> 02:27:25,805
I think that hopefully he would

6404
02:27:25,805 --> 02:27:28,697
agree that most of these

6405
02:27:28,697 --> 02:27:29,456
individual people that he and I

6406
02:27:29,456 --> 02:27:31,856
discussed and council member

6407
02:27:32,230 --> 02:27:33,261
housley also discussed.

6408
02:27:33,261 --> 02:27:33,715
but I'm it's not it's not

6409
02:27:33,715 --> 02:27:35,715
written in stone.

6410
02:27:36,558 --> 02:27:37,430
let's see who comes to the

6411
02:27:37,430 --> 02:27:40,210
first meeting and wants to be

6412
02:27:40,210 --> 02:27:41,930
part of the discussion whether

6413
02:27:41,930 --> 02:27:44,980
they were, you know, listed in

6414
02:27:44,980 --> 02:27:44,554
a media article or not, that's

6415
02:27:44,554 --> 02:27:45,704
fine with me.

6416
02:27:45,704 --> 02:27:47,677
and I also just hope that you

6417
02:27:47,677 --> 02:27:48,240
know, all of council supports

6418
02:27:48,240 --> 02:27:50,240
this effort.

6419
02:27:50,962 --> 02:27:54,562
we want it to be transparent

6420
02:27:54,776 --> 02:27:55,747
and inclusive and also I hope

6421
02:27:55,747 --> 02:27:58,638
that we don't hold the master

6422
02:27:58,638 --> 02:27:59,383
plan hostage to what

6423
02:27:59,383 --> 02:28:00,407
is happening in iraq.

6424
02:28:00,407 --> 02:28:03,402
I think that's uh they're

6425
02:28:03,402 --> 02:28:04,168
they're both interconnected and

6426
02:28:04,168 --> 02:28:07,168
we're very committed to trying

6427
02:28:07,355 --> 02:28:10,244
to support a future analysis

6428
02:28:10,244 --> 02:28:11,387
and vision for how we park.

6429
02:28:11,387 --> 02:28:11,730
but this master plan is for the

6430
02:28:11,730 --> 02:28:13,730
whole city.

6431
02:28:14,447 --> 02:28:15,373
it's how iraq is mentioned.

6432
02:28:15,373 --> 02:28:16,352
it says basically we're going

6433
02:28:16,352 --> 02:28:18,315
to figure it out in

6434
02:28:18,315 --> 02:28:19,890
twenty twenty six and that's

6435
02:28:19,890 --> 02:28:21,832
where we are right now.

6436
02:28:21,832 --> 02:28:22,905
but this this master plan

6437
02:28:22,905 --> 02:28:25,192
process has been the hard work

6438
02:28:25,192 --> 02:28:26,750
of many, many people and that

6439
02:28:26,750 --> 02:28:28,962
happened starting about a year

6440
02:28:28,962 --> 02:28:29,807
ago when charlie parker

6441
02:28:29,807 --> 02:28:32,807
is still an event space.

6442
02:28:32,865 --> 02:28:33,620
so that's that's why it's uh

6443
02:28:33,620 --> 02:28:34,990
you know that history.

6444
02:28:34,990 --> 02:28:36,990
yeah.

6445
02:28:37,868 --> 02:28:40,437
so is there a process suppose

6446
02:28:40,437 --> 02:28:41,130
like a group in the community

6447
02:28:41,130 --> 02:28:43,413
or a particular individual

6448
02:28:45,450 --> 02:28:49,449
could they apply or to the task

6449
02:28:49,449 --> 02:28:50,542
force I guess how would someone

6450
02:28:50,542 --> 02:28:52,605
why do we do that at the first

6451
02:28:52,605 --> 02:28:53,779
meeting I say see it people say

6452
02:28:53,779 --> 02:28:55,964
ok, all right, I don't want it

6453
02:28:55,964 --> 02:28:56,502
to be like american cannons

6454
02:28:56,502 --> 02:28:57,863
exclusive decision.

6455
02:28:57,863 --> 02:29:00,452
I just I think in the south

6456
02:29:00,452 --> 02:29:01,136
waterfront advisory group it

6457
02:29:01,136 --> 02:29:04,136
was it was more fluid.

6458
02:29:04,384 --> 02:29:05,348
we had people who were very

6459
02:29:05,348 --> 02:29:07,840
much, uh, critics and then

6460
02:29:07,840 --> 02:29:08,715
people who were, you know,

6461
02:29:08,715 --> 02:29:11,285
neutral and people who had just

6462
02:29:11,285 --> 02:29:11,840
different ideas and and they

6463
02:29:11,840 --> 02:29:12,669
all came together.

6464
02:29:12,669 --> 02:29:13,748
some came to every meeting,

6465
02:29:13,748 --> 02:29:15,293
some came to some meetings as

6466
02:29:15,293 --> 02:29:16,807
their schedules allowed.

6467
02:29:16,807 --> 02:29:19,369
it was more of an ad hoc type

6468
02:29:19,369 --> 02:29:20,199
of thing.

6469
02:29:20,199 --> 02:29:20,766
it wasn't like an official

6470
02:29:20,766 --> 02:29:23,166
appointment letter from city

6471
02:29:23,251 --> 02:29:23,935
council or the mayor was a

6472
02:29:23,935 --> 02:29:25,908
little more informal and maybe

6473
02:29:25,908 --> 02:29:26,781
this advisory group thinks it

6474
02:29:26,781 --> 02:29:27,900
needs to be more formal.

6475
02:29:27,900 --> 02:29:31,740
I'm happy to listen to their

6476
02:29:31,740 --> 02:29:32,880
suggestions.

6477
02:29:32,880 --> 02:29:33,918
well, thank you for that.

6478
02:29:33,918 --> 02:29:34,870
I just underline I am concerned

6479
02:29:34,870 --> 02:29:37,870
and have heard concern about

6480
02:29:38,630 --> 02:29:38,921
though that the makeup of the

6481
02:29:38,921 --> 02:29:41,321
advisory council for children

6482
02:29:42,726 --> 02:29:43,770
may possibly be a little bit

6483
02:29:43,770 --> 02:29:44,200
too restrictive.

6484
02:29:44,200 --> 02:29:47,584
I don't know I haven't really

6485
02:29:47,584 --> 02:29:48,417
surveyed who's on it.

6486
02:29:48,417 --> 02:29:50,294
I'm just getting those concerns

6487
02:29:50,294 --> 02:29:53,894
and so I would encourage you

6488
02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:54,954
and council member grant to

6489
02:29:54,954 --> 02:29:57,954
keep working together and make

6490
02:29:57,966 --> 02:29:59,140
sure that it's inclusive and

6491
02:29:59,140 --> 02:30:01,603
you know, one of the problems

6492
02:30:01,603 --> 02:30:02,482
with a giant park process was

6493
02:30:02,482 --> 02:30:06,820
people who felt like they had

6494
02:30:06,480 --> 02:30:07,559
been left out of the process

6495
02:30:07,559 --> 02:30:09,515
and I don't want to see that

6496
02:30:09,515 --> 02:30:09,853
happen with the advisory

6497
02:30:09,853 --> 02:30:11,109
committee.

6498
02:30:11,109 --> 02:30:13,876
I don't want them to feel like

6499
02:30:13,876 --> 02:30:17,476
it's kind of a overly select

6500
02:30:17,578 --> 02:30:18,123
group and not expansive enough

6501
02:30:18,123 --> 02:30:19,580
in the community.

6502
02:30:19,580 --> 02:30:22,187
so thank you for your comments.

6503
02:30:22,187 --> 02:30:24,587
I understand council member

6504
02:30:25,966 --> 02:30:26,734
honeycut I think you've had

6505
02:30:26,734 --> 02:30:27,667
your light on a while.

6506
02:30:27,667 --> 02:30:28,140
I've been looking at that on

6507
02:30:28,140 --> 02:30:29,314
this site.

6508
02:30:29,314 --> 02:30:30,542
I'm sorry.

6509
02:30:30,542 --> 02:30:33,827
it's fine and it's late so I'll

6510
02:30:33,827 --> 02:30:34,717
keep it keep my comments brief

6511
02:30:34,717 --> 02:30:37,596
but I think I just wanted to

6512
02:30:37,596 --> 02:30:38,373
bring it back quickly to to the

6513
02:30:38,373 --> 02:30:41,373
master plan which we're voting

6514
02:30:41,554 --> 02:30:44,554
on tonight and is part

6515
02:30:45,142 --> 02:30:45,477
of what's right before us

6516
02:30:45,477 --> 02:30:47,477
today.

6517
02:30:49,240 --> 02:30:50,160
and just say to miss ellie and

6518
02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:50,924
the parks and rec department

6519
02:30:50,924 --> 02:30:53,303
and carlos but I think you guys

6520
02:30:53,303 --> 02:30:54,248
did a fantastic job.

6521
02:30:54,248 --> 02:30:56,427
I mean I've been involved with

6522
02:30:56,427 --> 02:30:59,952
this for over a year now first

6523
02:30:59,952 --> 02:31:00,701
as a citizen and then as an

6524
02:31:00,701 --> 02:31:01,680
elected official and you've

6525
02:31:01,680 --> 02:31:04,986
done a great job both engaging

6526
02:31:04,986 --> 02:31:05,961
citizens because I was I have a

6527
02:31:05,961 --> 02:31:08,749
lot of the meetings last year

6528
02:31:08,749 --> 02:31:09,201
and and keeping us abreast

6529
02:31:09,201 --> 02:31:11,201
along the way.

6530
02:31:11,824 --> 02:31:12,812
so I definitely feel that, you

6531
02:31:12,812 --> 02:31:13,471
know, you have you held a good

6532
02:31:13,471 --> 02:31:15,439
transparent process and if

6533
02:31:15,439 --> 02:31:16,313
people didn't participate it

6534
02:31:16,313 --> 02:31:17,183
wasn't from a lack of you

6535
02:31:17,183 --> 02:31:19,749
trying to get them to

6536
02:31:19,749 --> 02:31:20,403
participate because it was

6537
02:31:20,403 --> 02:31:22,803
certainly you were doing

6538
02:31:23,373 --> 02:31:24,274
everything within your power.

6539
02:31:24,274 --> 02:31:24,775
is the plan perfect?

6540
02:31:24,775 --> 02:31:26,775
absolutely not.

6541
02:31:27,902 --> 02:31:31,919
no plan is but it's a great

6542
02:31:31,919 --> 02:31:35,109
plan and it helps move the city

6543
02:31:35,109 --> 02:31:36,283
forward in an important way and

6544
02:31:36,283 --> 02:31:36,530
it leaves I think in a good

6545
02:31:36,530 --> 02:31:38,530
way.

6546
02:31:39,770 --> 02:31:40,344
it leaves room to have a much

6547
02:31:40,344 --> 02:31:42,744
more robust and in-depth

6548
02:31:43,160 --> 02:31:43,970
discussion about the future

6549
02:31:43,970 --> 02:31:46,970
tillawi park very purposely so

6550
02:31:47,173 --> 02:31:48,490
that this year we can all

6551
02:31:48,490 --> 02:31:49,320
engage in the important process

6552
02:31:49,320 --> 02:31:51,960
we need to have regarding that

6553
02:31:51,960 --> 02:31:51,894
park in particular but as a

6554
02:31:51,894 --> 02:31:55,494
global master plan for our city

6555
02:31:55,494 --> 02:31:56,585
as a something north star for

6556
02:31:56,585 --> 02:31:58,555
us to point and at least move

6557
02:31:58,555 --> 02:31:59,700
the train forward.

6558
02:31:59,700 --> 02:32:00,374
you've done a great job and I

6559
02:32:00,374 --> 02:32:00,780
look forward to supporting it.

6584
02:32:51,279 --> 02:32:53,279
document.

6585
02:32:55,734 --> 02:32:58,500
it has it was difficult to

6586
02:32:58,500 --> 02:32:59,426
attach by the computer program.

6587
02:32:59,426 --> 02:33:00,960
we've got new complete computer

6588
02:33:00,960 --> 02:33:02,496
programs and our people

6589
02:33:02,657 --> 02:33:05,657
couldn't quite figure out how

6590
02:33:05,974 --> 02:33:09,574
to attach that big a document

6591
02:33:10,377 --> 02:33:13,475
to the to the packets and so we

6592
02:33:13,475 --> 02:33:14,343
gave links to it rather than to

6593
02:33:14,343 --> 02:33:14,907
print out the entire problem

6594
02:33:14,907 --> 02:33:17,307
not to start with.

6595
02:33:17,439 --> 02:33:18,515
there was nothing on there so

6596
02:33:18,515 --> 02:33:21,611
but yeah but there was a link

6597
02:33:21,611 --> 02:33:22,594
to it as I recall no there was

6598
02:33:22,594 --> 02:33:25,580
not to start with no but that's

6599
02:33:25,580 --> 02:33:26,344
ok it got added which is fine I

6600
02:33:26,344 --> 02:33:29,344
just there was some concern

6601
02:33:29,624 --> 02:33:30,798
about why people couldn't see

6602
02:33:30,798 --> 02:33:34,998
it and so I apologize that was

6603
02:33:54,950 --> 02:33:54,942
I guess like yeah we're sorry

6604
02:33:54,942 --> 02:33:56,340
my understanding is we're going

6605
02:33:56,340 --> 02:33:57,897
to link from the start so if

6606
02:33:57,897 --> 02:33:58,912
that didn't happen I was not

6607
02:33:58,912 --> 02:33:59,269
where I was going and I had it

6608
02:33:59,269 --> 02:34:00,950
so ok.

6609
02:34:00,950 --> 02:34:00,325
I do think there's community

6610
02:34:00,325 --> 02:34:01,157
input.

6611
02:34:01,157 --> 02:34:01,938
you know what's happened long

6612
02:34:01,938 --> 02:34:02,610
before it got to the council's

6613
02:34:02,610 --> 02:34:03,173
agenda all along the way

6614
02:34:03,173 --> 02:34:03,405
including the final master

6615
02:34:03,405 --> 02:34:04,138
plan.

6616
02:34:04,138 --> 02:34:04,925
so some people look council

6617
02:34:04,925 --> 02:34:05,673
agendas but I think a lot

6618
02:34:05,673 --> 02:34:06,845
of other people had other

6619
02:34:06,845 --> 02:34:07,834
forums find it so I thought and

6620
02:34:07,834 --> 02:34:10,831
so I just was going just you

6621
02:34:10,831 --> 02:34:11,962
know, any and no, no, no.

6622
02:34:11,962 --> 02:34:12,913
I plan to support sporkin plan

6623
02:34:12,913 --> 02:34:13,528
to support a plan.

6624
02:34:13,528 --> 02:34:14,280
>> I'm good.

6625
02:34:14,280 --> 02:34:14,643
thank you.

6626
02:34:14,643 --> 02:34:16,643
council member grant.

6627
02:34:16,677 --> 02:34:19,661
yeah, I just want to speak to a

6628
02:34:19,661 --> 02:34:20,426
couple of things on one of the

6629
02:34:20,426 --> 02:34:21,284
things that councilman thomas

6630
02:34:21,284 --> 02:34:24,284
mentioned in terms of the

6631
02:34:28,318 --> 02:34:31,318
process while I appreciate the

6632
02:34:32,520 --> 02:34:33,503
commitment being made on prior

6633
02:34:33,503 --> 02:34:37,970
to me meeting with you so let

6634
02:34:37,970 --> 02:34:38,184
me say this we met today I did

6635
02:34:38,184 --> 02:34:40,958
meet with the mayor and it was

6636
02:34:40,958 --> 02:34:43,358
good meeting, very productive.

6637
02:34:43,716 --> 02:34:44,675
I was able to get a lot answers

6638
02:34:44,675 --> 02:34:47,564
, a lot of questions answered

6639
02:34:47,564 --> 02:34:50,564
that I didn't know previously

6640
02:34:51,558 --> 02:34:52,709
to meeting with you.

6641
02:34:52,709 --> 02:34:55,503
I was ok with how the process

6642
02:34:55,503 --> 02:34:59,103
was in a very beginning giving

6643
02:34:59,908 --> 02:35:02,895
the final outcome of the list

6644
02:35:02,895 --> 02:35:03,217
and how it was put in the

6645
02:35:03,217 --> 02:35:05,217
community.

6646
02:35:07,650 --> 02:35:07,519
I got calls and wasn't able to

6647
02:35:07,519 --> 02:35:08,533
answer questions right.

6648
02:35:08,533 --> 02:35:11,111
and as the district six

6649
02:35:11,111 --> 02:35:13,511
represented where this park

6650
02:35:14,701 --> 02:35:15,460
sits is somewhat challenging

6651
02:35:15,460 --> 02:35:17,860
and frustrating when your

6652
02:35:18,278 --> 02:35:19,441
constituents call and you don't

6653
02:35:19,441 --> 02:35:22,339
have the answers for them, you

6654
02:35:22,339 --> 02:35:24,739
know when the communication

6655
02:35:26,350 --> 02:35:27,536
there's a communication barrier

6656
02:35:27,536 --> 02:35:28,583
let me just put it that way.

6657
02:35:28,583 --> 02:35:28,927
but I would say it was a

6658
02:35:28,927 --> 02:35:30,628
productive meeting.

6659
02:35:30,628 --> 02:35:33,919
I got a lot of things answered,

6660
02:35:33,919 --> 02:35:34,991
you know, in terms of the list

6661
02:35:34,991 --> 02:35:37,776
on the list needs to be

6662
02:35:37,776 --> 02:35:38,828
improved.

6663
02:35:38,828 --> 02:35:41,910
I would agree that when we have

6664
02:35:41,910 --> 02:35:42,676
this meeting next week that

6665
02:35:42,676 --> 02:35:43,706
we're able to make additions.

6666
02:35:43,706 --> 02:35:46,190
that's something that as the

6667
02:35:46,190 --> 02:35:48,590
district representative I would

6668
02:35:49,690 --> 02:35:50,553
like to do because there are

6669
02:35:50,553 --> 02:35:52,632
community members out here who

6670
02:35:52,632 --> 02:35:53,597
come from different backgrounds

6671
02:35:53,597 --> 02:35:56,597
who can provide a different

6672
02:35:57,998 --> 02:36:00,684
expertize in view of what we

6673
02:36:00,684 --> 02:36:01,726
might need for this park.

6674
02:36:01,726 --> 02:36:04,453
you had a number of individuals

6675
02:36:04,453 --> 02:36:05,724
who fought to keep this park

6676
02:36:05,724 --> 02:36:09,980
and I and I think, you know,

6677
02:36:09,980 --> 02:36:10,700
optics matter when when you're

6678
02:36:10,700 --> 02:36:12,987
when creating a group in terms

6679
02:36:12,987 --> 02:36:13,664
of how we move forward, I think

6680
02:36:13,664 --> 02:36:16,664
it's important that you allow

6681
02:36:17,162 --> 02:36:18,222
the people who advocated to be

6682
02:36:18,222 --> 02:36:19,684
a part of that process not just

6683
02:36:19,684 --> 02:36:20,180
invited but actually at the

6684
02:36:20,180 --> 02:36:22,180
table.

6685
02:36:24,488 --> 02:36:27,474
and so you know, I just want to

6686
02:36:27,474 --> 02:36:28,335
say, you know, I hope moving

6687
02:36:28,335 --> 02:36:31,335
forward the community will stay

6688
02:36:31,629 --> 02:36:32,774
involved in this process.

6689
02:36:32,774 --> 02:36:35,584
it's going to be a drawn out

6690
02:36:35,584 --> 02:36:36,442
process and we need community

6691
02:36:36,442 --> 02:36:37,274
members to show up.

6692
02:36:37,274 --> 02:36:39,846
we need communities to give

6693
02:36:39,846 --> 02:36:40,787
their input right.

6694
02:36:40,787 --> 02:36:41,665
even when you don't get what

6695
02:36:41,665 --> 02:36:43,484
you want right, you still show

6696
02:36:43,484 --> 02:36:44,461
up and you put forth the effort

6697
02:36:44,461 --> 02:36:47,896
if it's that important to you.

6698
02:36:47,896 --> 02:36:48,883
and so, you know, I just wanted

6699
02:36:48,883 --> 02:36:51,187
to get that on a record, you

6700
02:36:51,187 --> 02:36:51,961
know, I do thank you from for

6701
02:36:51,961 --> 02:36:54,551
making that adjustment and just

6702
02:36:54,551 --> 02:36:55,507
being open minded to realize

6703
02:36:55,507 --> 02:36:58,507
that we do need more

6704
02:36:58,904 --> 02:37:00,520
individuals on this.

6705
02:37:00,520 --> 02:37:00,836
and so and I want to invite

6706
02:37:00,836 --> 02:37:02,804
council members you know I know

6707
02:37:02,804 --> 02:37:03,946
your schedules are stretched.

6708
02:37:03,946 --> 02:37:07,380
I would like to see you guys

6709
02:37:07,380 --> 02:37:08,178
participate as much as you can.

6710
02:37:08,178 --> 02:37:10,347
I would like to see this group

6711
02:37:10,347 --> 02:37:11,519
not only centered on district

6712
02:37:11,519 --> 02:37:11,864
six but let's go out to the

6713
02:37:11,864 --> 02:37:13,472
different districts.

6714
02:37:13,472 --> 02:37:14,520
let's host meetings in

6715
02:37:14,520 --> 02:37:15,490
different areas of the city to

6716
02:37:15,490 --> 02:37:18,458
be able to get that feedback

6717
02:37:18,458 --> 02:37:18,893
from, you know, different

6718
02:37:18,893 --> 02:37:19,936
community members.

6719
02:37:19,936 --> 02:37:22,414
we want everybody coming and

6720
02:37:22,414 --> 02:37:23,780
visiting how we park not just

6721
02:37:23,780 --> 02:37:25,478
those district residents or

6722
02:37:25,655 --> 02:37:25,990
people in adjacent

6723
02:37:25,990 --> 02:37:27,130
neighborhoods.

6724
02:37:27,130 --> 02:37:29,615
we want to it's a city thing

6725
02:37:29,615 --> 02:37:30,696
and we need as many people as

6726
02:37:30,696 --> 02:37:33,993
we need as we should have at

6727
02:37:33,993 --> 02:37:34,340
this table not just within the

6728
02:37:34,340 --> 02:37:35,372
group.

6729
02:37:35,372 --> 02:37:38,372
so thank you council member

6730
02:37:38,551 --> 02:37:40,551
pirker.

6731
02:37:43,309 --> 02:37:43,653
thank you, mayor, for your

6732
02:37:43,653 --> 02:37:45,653
thoughts.

6733
02:37:51,361 --> 02:37:51,601
one is uh I will be at every

6734
02:37:51,601 --> 02:37:51,894
meeting.

6735
02:37:51,894 --> 02:37:52,940
yeah.

6736
02:37:52,940 --> 02:37:54,802
I don't have to invite me for

6737
02:37:54,802 --> 02:37:56,239
me to show up.

6738
02:37:56,239 --> 02:37:59,224
I will show up and I will be

6739
02:37:59,224 --> 02:38:03,500
there um and I do find it

6740
02:38:03,500 --> 02:38:06,500
unfortunate that uh the mayor

6741
02:38:06,805 --> 02:38:07,570
keeps saying ay ay ay discuss

6742
02:38:07,570 --> 02:38:10,570
this with council member grant

6743
02:38:11,156 --> 02:38:11,945
councilman helmsley when I have

6744
02:38:11,945 --> 02:38:14,211
fought to save holiway park for

6745
02:38:14,211 --> 02:38:17,740
at least the last eight months.

6746
02:38:17,740 --> 02:38:21,340
so not only is that offensive

6747
02:38:21,843 --> 02:38:22,839
to me when you say that whether

6748
02:38:22,839 --> 02:38:25,821
you intend to or not but it

6749
02:38:25,821 --> 02:38:28,821
offends my constituents who um

6750
02:38:29,631 --> 02:38:30,382
who see the work that I put in

6751
02:38:30,382 --> 02:38:30,728
and don't appreciate the

6752
02:38:30,728 --> 02:38:32,728
continued disrespect.

6753
02:38:36,870 --> 02:38:40,840
I don't either um we the the

6754
02:38:40,840 --> 02:38:40,960
the this master plan went

6755
02:38:40,960 --> 02:38:43,960
through a public input process

6756
02:38:44,342 --> 02:38:47,342
that finalized at the end

6757
02:38:48,239 --> 02:38:48,991
of february uh, once that

6758
02:38:48,991 --> 02:38:51,391
process finalized, I wondered

6759
02:38:51,476 --> 02:38:52,237
well how will that input be

6760
02:38:52,237 --> 02:38:54,637
incorporated into the final

6761
02:38:54,799 --> 02:38:56,799
plan?

6762
02:38:59,269 --> 02:39:02,878
and so, um, it was noted that

6763
02:39:02,878 --> 02:39:03,631
the master plan was not in our

6764
02:39:03,631 --> 02:39:06,310
packet but individuals have

6765
02:39:07,120 --> 02:39:07,787
recently been exposed to the

6766
02:39:07,787 --> 02:39:08,210
plan through the public input

6767
02:39:08,210 --> 02:39:10,210
process.

6768
02:39:11,169 --> 02:39:14,959
but I imagine many of them like

6769
02:39:14,959 --> 02:39:18,559
I did would assume we would

6770
02:39:18,763 --> 02:39:19,633
actually incorporate some that

6771
02:39:19,633 --> 02:39:22,510
public input into that master

6772
02:39:22,510 --> 02:39:23,470
plan would actually change

6773
02:39:23,470 --> 02:39:25,870
following up public input

6774
02:39:26,852 --> 02:39:27,988
process.

6775
02:39:27,988 --> 02:39:30,585
did we make any changes to the

6776
02:39:30,585 --> 02:39:31,118
plan following the public input

6777
02:39:31,118 --> 02:39:33,118
process?

6778
02:39:33,976 --> 02:39:34,303
>> we we thank you councilwoman

6779
02:39:34,303 --> 02:39:35,225
parker.

6780
02:39:35,225 --> 02:39:35,571
we did make some corrections

6781
02:39:35,571 --> 02:39:37,571
into it.

6782
02:39:37,806 --> 02:39:38,538
um, if you look at it this

6783
02:39:38,538 --> 02:39:40,938
is really relatively minor.

6784
02:39:42,860 --> 02:39:42,851
carlos could probably carlos

6785
02:39:42,851 --> 02:39:43,931
perez could probably speak more

6786
02:39:43,931 --> 02:39:46,524
to it and give you a true

6787
02:39:46,524 --> 02:39:46,979
oversight what happened as he

6788
02:39:46,979 --> 02:39:48,195
incorporated that information?

6789
02:39:48,195 --> 02:39:50,482
a lot of the things that we

6790
02:39:50,482 --> 02:39:51,165
came back with were around

6791
02:39:51,165 --> 02:39:53,844
typos that need to happen

6792
02:39:53,844 --> 02:39:54,922
because it was more of things

6793
02:39:54,922 --> 02:39:58,522
that were already in the plan

6794
02:39:58,621 --> 02:39:59,664
and not additions to the plan.

6795
02:39:59,664 --> 02:40:01,425
and so I would I would probably

6796
02:40:01,425 --> 02:40:02,306
lean to carlos, probably

6797
02:40:02,306 --> 02:40:03,262
explain just a little bit more

6798
02:40:03,262 --> 02:40:05,946
about what that final plan

6799
02:40:05,946 --> 02:40:06,397
is and why it was written the

6800
02:40:06,397 --> 02:40:06,913
way it is.

6801
02:40:06,913 --> 02:40:08,913
>> mm hmm.

6802
02:40:09,250 --> 02:40:13,159
I would love to hear from mr.

6803
02:40:13,159 --> 02:40:13,761
perez about the changes made.

6804
02:40:13,761 --> 02:40:14,798
good evening.

6805
02:40:14,798 --> 02:40:17,370
mayor and council carlos perez

6806
02:40:17,370 --> 02:40:18,291
878 peachtree street, atlanta.

6807
02:40:18,291 --> 02:40:20,879
thank you for the opportunity

6808
02:40:20,879 --> 02:40:21,856
to to present to you this

6809
02:40:21,856 --> 02:40:22,101
evening and thank you for that

6810
02:40:22,101 --> 02:40:24,101
question.

6811
02:40:25,680 --> 02:40:27,953
um, as director you mentioned

6812
02:40:27,953 --> 02:40:28,930
we did receive comments uh for

6813
02:40:28,930 --> 02:40:29,698
the master plan and as she

6814
02:40:29,698 --> 02:40:32,980
mentioned they were relatively

6815
02:40:32,776 --> 02:40:35,776
minor uh, related to typos.

6816
02:40:35,824 --> 02:40:36,982
there were some park names that

6817
02:40:36,982 --> 02:40:40,367
um I recommend were noted as

6818
02:40:40,367 --> 02:40:42,767
needing to be updated.

6819
02:40:44,102 --> 02:40:44,948
there was a lot of support for

6820
02:40:44,948 --> 02:40:47,348
the suggestions that were

6821
02:40:48,743 --> 02:40:51,222
included in the master plan and

6822
02:40:51,222 --> 02:40:52,880
those were really the the

6823
02:40:52,880 --> 02:40:55,500
changes that we we received.

6824
02:40:55,500 --> 02:40:56,108
there was no major fundamental

6825
02:40:56,108 --> 02:40:59,108
revisions or comments, uh, that

6826
02:40:59,294 --> 02:41:01,294
we had received.

6827
02:41:03,310 --> 02:41:05,310
thank you.

6828
02:41:18,150 --> 02:41:18,889
um, there have been requests

6829
02:41:18,889 --> 02:41:20,889
tonight that conversations

6830
02:41:22,692 --> 02:41:25,692
continue and that this remains

6831
02:41:26,900 --> 02:41:28,490
a somewhat flexible document.

6832
02:41:29,941 --> 02:41:32,941
>> I would echo those request

6833
02:41:33,745 --> 02:41:34,682
but I would also challenge us

6834
02:41:34,682 --> 02:41:37,682
to question some of the

6835
02:41:37,865 --> 02:41:40,865
assumptions that went into this

6836
02:41:41,972 --> 02:41:44,972
uh, plan and understand that

6837
02:41:45,352 --> 02:41:47,752
the community still has

6838
02:41:49,566 --> 02:41:50,341
concerns and still, uh, at

6839
02:41:50,341 --> 02:41:53,341
least making complaints to me.

6840
02:41:53,370 --> 02:41:54,310
hopefully I'm not the only one

6841
02:41:54,310 --> 02:41:56,431
that they're making complaints

6842
02:41:57,424 --> 02:42:00,424
to but about, uh, privately

6843
02:42:01,222 --> 02:42:01,870
managed amenities versus

6844
02:42:01,870 --> 02:42:03,870
publicly managed amenities.

6845
02:42:05,712 --> 02:42:06,705
I'm happy to see a proposal

6846
02:42:06,705 --> 02:42:09,697
coming about shifting to how we

6847
02:42:09,697 --> 02:42:12,846
park back to parks and rec.

6848
02:42:12,846 --> 02:42:13,793
but I'm worried about other

6849
02:42:13,793 --> 02:42:14,666
proposals to outsource some

6850
02:42:14,666 --> 02:42:17,763
of these services that we might

6851
02:42:17,763 --> 02:42:18,101
see in my meeting with the

6852
02:42:18,101 --> 02:42:20,101
knoxville zoo.

6853
02:42:20,822 --> 02:42:21,491
uh, there was discussion of the

6854
02:42:21,491 --> 02:42:23,891
zoo potentially building a

6855
02:42:24,700 --> 02:42:24,930
community center for that piece

6856
02:42:24,930 --> 02:42:26,930
of property.

6857
02:42:28,673 --> 02:42:31,673
I'm interested in seeing public

6858
02:42:32,575 --> 02:42:33,309
spaces developed, um, if there

6859
02:42:33,309 --> 02:42:35,887
is some sort of management

6860
02:42:35,887 --> 02:42:36,545
shared then we have to

6861
02:42:36,545 --> 02:42:38,545
seriously improve our

6862
02:42:40,552 --> 02:42:42,942
transparency and our sharing

6863
02:42:42,942 --> 02:42:47,142
of policy so people know how to

6864
02:42:47,163 --> 02:42:47,494
access these services equitably

6865
02:42:47,494 --> 02:42:48,830
.

6866
02:42:48,830 --> 02:42:50,830

02:45:59,603 --> 02:46:03,203
thank you to public service but

6961
02:46:03,414 --> 02:46:06,414
also want to highlight another

6962
02:46:07,609 --> 02:46:08,468
cemetery that we have in our

6963
02:46:08,468 --> 02:46:10,868
community the crestview west

6964
02:46:11,640 --> 02:46:12,586
district which is in district

6965
02:46:12,586 --> 02:46:14,986
three myself and councilman

6966
02:46:16,109 --> 02:46:19,480
doug we got to participate with

6967
02:46:19,480 --> 02:46:20,297
a cleanup.

6968
02:46:20,297 --> 02:46:22,697
we keep natural beautiful

6969
02:46:22,868 --> 02:46:23,768
natural heritage the heart and

6970
02:46:23,768 --> 02:46:26,468
family I mean it was over a

6971
02:46:26,468 --> 02:46:27,712
hundred volunteers came out.

6972
02:46:27,712 --> 02:46:31,113
I mean the city was able to

6973
02:46:31,113 --> 02:46:33,804
provide, you know, help with

6974
02:46:33,804 --> 02:46:34,665
trash pickup and so while this

6975
02:46:34,665 --> 02:46:38,540
is oddfellows while this is in

6976
02:46:38,540 --> 02:46:38,402
district six, it's a very

6977
02:46:38,402 --> 02:46:40,402
historic cemetery.

6978
02:46:41,960 --> 02:46:43,550
but I just wanted to get on a

6979
02:46:43,550 --> 02:46:45,328
record for us to, you know, try

6980
02:46:45,328 --> 02:46:46,185
to pay attention whether the

6981
02:46:46,185 --> 02:46:46,862
state coming in or just

6982
02:46:46,862 --> 02:46:49,149
figuring out how we can

6983
02:46:49,149 --> 02:46:50,180
advocate for the crestview

6984
02:46:50,180 --> 02:46:53,180
cemetery district is the it's

6985
02:46:53,127 --> 02:46:54,218
the largest african-american

6986
02:46:54,218 --> 02:46:57,305
cemetery that we have and the

6987
02:46:57,305 --> 02:46:58,453
oldest cemetery that we have

6988
02:46:58,453 --> 02:47:00,820
here in the city of knoxville

6989
02:47:00,820 --> 02:47:02,461
actually countywide.

6990
02:47:02,461 --> 02:47:05,440
and so, you know, I has been a

6991
02:47:05,440 --> 02:47:06,669
process within itself.

6992
02:47:06,669 --> 02:47:10,259
I'm hoping for help from our

6993
02:47:10,259 --> 02:47:10,938
constituents, you know, to try

6994
02:47:10,938 --> 02:47:12,611
to help councilman doug lloyd

6995
02:47:12,611 --> 02:47:13,170
to try to shed some light on

6996
02:47:13,170 --> 02:47:15,170
that particular cemetery.

6997
02:47:16,914 --> 02:47:17,748
so thank you.

6998
02:47:17,748 --> 02:47:18,531
any other questions or comments

6999
02:47:18,531 --> 02:47:20,900
saying and all those in favor

7000
02:47:20,900 --> 02:47:23,900
please say I oppose motion

documents necessary to apply

7005
02:47:29,351 --> 02:47:32,750
for and accept a project safe

7006
02:47:32,750 --> 02:47:33,392
neighborhoods grant from the

7007
02:47:33,392 --> 02:47:34,343

hundred eight dollars with no

02:47:38,360 --> 02:47:40,120
required matching funds to be

7012
02:47:40,120 --> 02:47:40,690
used to purchase equipment and

7013
02:47:40,690 --> 02:47:43,900
supplies used in programs

7014
02:47:43,796 --> 02:47:45,979
designed to prevent, respond to

7015
02:47:45,979 --> 02:47:48,979
and reduce violence and gun

7016
02:47:50,371 --> 02:47:52,371
crimes.

7017
02:47:54,223 --> 02:47:55,191
their motion moved to approve

7018
02:47:55,191 --> 02:47:57,898
motion made to approve and

7019
02:47:57,898 --> 02:47:59,660
seconded council member grant.

7020
02:47:59,660 --> 02:48:01,971
>> yeah I would just like to ex

7021
02:48:01,971 --> 02:48:02,957
chief no well you can take a

7022
02:48:02,957 --> 02:48:05,965
moment and just kind of go into

7023
02:48:05,965 --> 02:48:09,565
brief detail in terms of what

7024
02:48:09,759 --> 02:48:10,489
this grant is on the city.

7025
02:48:10,489 --> 02:48:10,840
we aren't matching these

7026
02:48:10,840 --> 02:48:12,552
dollars right.

7027
02:48:12,552 --> 02:48:13,297
this is a grant tennessee

7028
02:48:13,297 --> 02:48:15,697
office of criminal justice

7029
02:48:17,198 --> 02:48:17,531
program so it's unmatched funds

7030
02:48:17,531 --> 02:48:18,557
.

7031
02:48:18,557 --> 02:48:19,632
but could you briefly go into

7032
02:48:19,632 --> 02:48:21,911
detail in terms of what we will

7033
02:48:21,911 --> 02:48:23,330
utilize these funds for sure.

7034
02:48:23,330 --> 02:48:24,785
>> yeah, this is a project safe

7035
02:48:24,785 --> 02:48:25,649
neighborhood grant which is a

7036
02:48:25,649 --> 02:48:28,490
grant that is traditionally

7037
02:48:28,555 --> 02:48:29,204
used to combat violence,

7038
02:48:29,204 --> 02:48:31,204
particularly gun violence.

7039
02:48:32,645 --> 02:48:33,828
no local match we're going to

7040
02:48:33,828 --> 02:48:36,800
request to use this on for dna

7041
02:48:36,800 --> 02:48:37,484
testing specifically for all

7042
02:48:37,484 --> 02:48:40,484
firearms like the swab a

7043
02:48:40,861 --> 02:48:41,839
firearm and I'll get that dna

7044
02:48:41,839 --> 02:48:44,130
testing done to help us either

7045
02:48:44,130 --> 02:48:46,413
eliminate potential suspects or

7046
02:48:47,391 --> 02:48:47,930
confirm suspects involved

7047
02:48:47,930 --> 02:48:49,930
violent crimes.

7048
02:48:50,453 --> 02:48:52,453
>> thank you.

7049
02:48:55,200 --> 02:48:58,200
council member pirker um, thank

7050
02:48:58,574 --> 02:49:00,574
you.

7051
02:49:03,480 --> 02:49:06,169
um, so for this grant you will

7052
02:49:06,169 --> 02:49:06,709
use it for success for testing

7053
02:49:06,709 --> 02:49:08,709
services.

7054
02:49:10,273 --> 02:49:10,612
no equipment will be purchased

7055
02:49:10,612 --> 02:49:11,621
.

7056
02:49:11,621 --> 02:49:14,727
no, our intention is to use

7057
02:49:14,727 --> 02:49:15,603
this for dna testing for for

7058
02:49:15,603 --> 02:49:18,603
firearms to get those those

7059
02:49:21,630 --> 02:49:23,630
test process processed.

7060
02:49:25,369 --> 02:49:26,511
uh, I'm sure I'm curious.

7061
02:49:26,511 --> 02:49:29,511
it's described as equipment and

7062
02:49:32,532 --> 02:49:34,532
supplies.

7063
02:49:36,779 --> 02:49:37,848
I'm not sure what we're going

7064
02:49:37,848 --> 02:49:40,190
to apply for is to do dna

7065
02:49:40,190 --> 02:49:42,419
testing through rapid dna

7066
02:49:43,615 --> 02:49:44,719
is what we're going to do.

7067
02:49:44,719 --> 02:49:47,902
um, is there a reason that

7068
02:49:47,902 --> 02:49:50,902
those descript shems when you

7069
02:49:51,396 --> 02:49:52,471
are applying for dna testing

7070
02:49:52,471 --> 02:49:53,219
just don't just say dna testing

7071
02:49:53,219 --> 02:49:55,578
rather than equipment and

7072
02:49:55,578 --> 02:49:56,708
supplies?

7073
02:49:56,708 --> 02:49:59,708
>> I'm not exactly sure how

7074
02:50:00,315 --> 02:50:01,252
that language was formulated.

7075
02:50:01,252 --> 02:50:01,483
>> I'm not trying to be

7076
02:50:01,483 --> 02:50:02,620
evasive.

7077
02:50:02,620 --> 02:50:04,495
I just don't know that that

7078
02:50:04,495 --> 02:50:04,951
language from paper it comes

7079
02:50:04,951 --> 02:50:06,213
from the lab.

7080
02:50:06,213 --> 02:50:08,300
>> it may have come from one

7081
02:50:08,300 --> 02:50:08,972
of our staff but I'm not saying

7082
02:50:08,972 --> 02:50:09,201
it doesn't come from outside

7083
02:50:09,201 --> 02:50:11,201
this.

7084
02:50:11,548 --> 02:50:12,785
>> I just don't know.

7085
02:50:12,785 --> 02:50:13,558
>> yeah, it just would be great

7086
02:50:13,558 --> 02:50:14,906
for transparency purposes for

7087
02:50:14,906 --> 02:50:15,738
the public.

7088
02:50:15,738 --> 02:50:18,138
>> it's probably just mirroring

7089
02:50:18,736 --> 02:50:19,375
the the probably the subject on

7090
02:50:19,375 --> 02:50:20,518
in the grant.

7091
02:50:20,518 --> 02:50:20,813
>> I'm sure that's what it is.

7092
02:50:20,813 --> 02:50:22,813
yeah.

7093
02:50:23,546 --> 02:50:26,724
um any effort we can make to be

7094
02:50:26,724 --> 02:50:27,650
more transpac in that

7095
02:50:27,650 --> 02:50:27,543
description.

7096
02:50:27,543 --> 02:50:29,543
sure.

7097
02:50:30,578 --> 02:50:31,224
because that's all these

7098
02:50:31,224 --> 02:50:32,163
conversations are about.

7099
02:50:32,163 --> 02:50:34,678
that's the only reason we pull

7100
02:50:34,678 --> 02:50:35,548
it off with the consent agenda

7101
02:50:35,548 --> 02:50:35,895
is to know what equipment and

7102
02:50:35,895 --> 02:50:37,895
services are.

7103
02:50:38,629 --> 02:50:39,606
>> some of the challenges that

7104
02:50:39,606 --> 02:50:40,376
we're having with the grants

7105
02:50:40,376 --> 02:50:43,144
right now is that you know,

7106
02:50:43,144 --> 02:50:43,818
normally what happens with

7107
02:50:43,818 --> 02:50:46,724
these grants is they they drop

7108
02:50:46,724 --> 02:50:47,864
in a set period every year.

7109
02:50:47,864 --> 02:50:48,856
they have some time to drop it

7110
02:50:48,856 --> 02:50:51,460
really fast and right now the

7111
02:50:51,460 --> 02:50:51,384
turnaround times were really

7112
02:50:51,384 --> 02:50:53,384
quick.

7113
02:50:54,529 --> 02:50:55,283
so the deadline descried just

7114
02:50:55,283 --> 02:50:56,312
right not long ago.

7115
02:50:56,312 --> 02:50:56,661
the deadline for us to apply

7116
02:50:56,661 --> 02:50:58,661
is on friday.

7117
02:50:58,674 --> 02:50:59,300
so our great team is really

7118
02:50:59,300 --> 02:51:00,135
scrambling.

7119
02:51:00,135 --> 02:51:02,427
so the grant world over the

7120
02:51:02,427 --> 02:51:06,627
last year, two years or so has

7121
02:51:06,628 --> 02:51:07,567
shifted shifted dramatically.

7122
02:51:07,567 --> 02:51:08,627
so that's why like with the

7123
02:51:08,627 --> 02:51:11,112
packard that was not a lot

7124
02:51:11,112 --> 02:51:12,500
of documents with it because

7125
02:51:12,500 --> 02:51:13,673
it's like a great team is not

7126
02:51:13,673 --> 02:51:14,393
put it together yet.

7127
02:51:14,393 --> 02:51:15,660
we'll probably be following

7128
02:51:15,660 --> 02:51:17,834
this grant like probably like

7129
02:51:17,834 --> 02:51:18,814
within hours before the

7130
02:51:18,814 --> 02:51:19,159
deadline and it'll get a little

7131
02:51:19,159 --> 02:51:19,967
bit dropped.

7132
02:51:19,967 --> 02:51:21,470
>> ok, thank you.

7133
02:51:21,470 --> 02:51:23,470
that's helpful.

7134
02:51:26,442 --> 02:51:27,210
all those in favor please say

7135
02:51:27,210 --> 02:51:29,581

nineteen oh two forrest avenue

7154
02:52:08,553 --> 02:52:11,356
lying within city block one

7155
02:52:11,356 --> 02:52:12,114
zero zero eight five running

7156
02:52:12,114 --> 02:52:12,563
between nineteenth street and

7157
02:52:12,563 --> 02:52:13,312
twentieth street and

execute quitclaim deeds to

7160
02:52:16,769 --> 02:52:19,169

seconded any questions are can

7164
02:52:24,368 --> 02:52:25,723
I mean council member adams?

7165
02:52:25,723 --> 02:52:26,863
yeah I would like to make a few

7166
02:52:26,863 --> 02:52:27,688
comments.

7167
02:52:27,688 --> 02:52:28,380
I know you're thrilled about

7168
02:52:28,380 --> 02:52:30,380
that everybody.

7169
02:52:31,159 --> 02:52:31,485
um but this is an important

7170
02:52:31,485 --> 02:52:33,485
issue.

7171
02:52:35,300 --> 02:52:35,707
it's a big um proposal that

7172
02:52:35,707 --> 02:52:38,707
will be coming through even

7173
02:52:38,795 --> 02:52:39,659
though it seems like a small

7174
02:52:39,659 --> 02:52:40,803
thing because it's an alley.

7175
02:52:40,803 --> 02:52:42,284
I just want to put on the

7176
02:52:42,284 --> 02:52:42,516
record that I am not for alley

7177
02:52:42,516 --> 02:52:44,516
closures.

7178
02:52:46,579 --> 02:52:47,519
they are very important for

7179
02:52:47,519 --> 02:52:49,877
pedestrian right of ways and

7180
02:52:49,877 --> 02:52:50,536
the fabric of the city,

7181
02:52:50,536 --> 02:52:52,536
particularly the traditional

7182
02:52:54,114 --> 02:52:54,347
grid and so I don't take these

7183
02:52:54,347 --> 02:52:55,261
lightly.

7184
02:52:55,261 --> 02:52:57,661
I've had many conversations

7185
02:52:58,149 --> 02:53:01,460
with mr. Mullins with planning

7186
02:53:01,460 --> 02:53:01,930
and with others in the city

7187
02:53:01,930 --> 02:53:04,426
trying to see is there any way

7188
02:53:04,426 --> 02:53:04,964
around that we don't have to

7189
02:53:04,964 --> 02:53:06,199
close this.

7190
02:53:06,199 --> 02:53:09,299
um, currently if you went to

7191
02:53:09,299 --> 02:53:09,754
the site you would not say oh

7192
02:53:09,754 --> 02:53:10,888
that's an alley.

7193
02:53:10,888 --> 02:53:12,849
you would say oh that's a

7194
02:53:12,849 --> 02:53:14,849
surface parking lot.

7195
02:53:15,479 --> 02:53:16,555
so it's not currently serving

7196
02:53:16,555 --> 02:53:19,748
in the capacity that that I

7197
02:53:19,748 --> 02:53:20,868
feel strongly about.

7198
02:53:20,868 --> 02:53:23,764
the other thing is that while

7199
02:53:23,764 --> 02:53:24,629
this is just about an alley

7200
02:53:24,629 --> 02:53:27,629
closure, looking at the entire

7201
02:53:28,119 --> 02:53:30,903
case, the the zoning by right

7202
02:53:30,903 --> 02:53:33,303
allows for pretty pretty

7203
02:53:34,694 --> 02:53:35,755
intense buildings there and

7204
02:53:35,755 --> 02:53:39,296
that is like I said by right.

7205
02:53:39,296 --> 02:53:40,570
um so I recognize the great

7206
02:53:40,570 --> 02:53:42,457
need for housing uh

7207
02:53:43,179 --> 02:53:45,579
particularly for students just

7208
02:53:47,317 --> 02:53:48,770
in the past um, two weeks I've

7209
02:53:48,770 --> 02:53:50,477
received messages from students

7210
02:53:51,259 --> 02:53:52,380
saying I'm having to drive

7211
02:53:52,380 --> 02:53:54,193
twenty or thirty minutes to get

7212
02:53:54,193 --> 02:53:54,850
to campus because I can't

7213
02:53:54,850 --> 02:53:55,677
afford to live there.

7214
02:53:55,677 --> 02:53:57,942
so I understand the housing

7215
02:53:57,942 --> 02:53:58,802
needs and that this is an

7216
02:53:58,802 --> 02:53:59,145
opportunity to help to help

7217
02:53:59,145 --> 02:54:01,145
with this.

7218
02:54:02,599 --> 02:54:05,582
but again I just wanted to say

7219
02:54:05,582 --> 02:54:06,223
that um I do have concerns

7220
02:54:06,223 --> 02:54:08,223
about closing alleys.

7221
02:54:09,530 --> 02:54:09,801
I wouldn't do this any place

7222
02:54:09,801 --> 02:54:12,201
but understanding that this

7223
02:54:12,791 --> 02:54:13,670
is a block and we did talk

7224
02:54:13,670 --> 02:54:16,670
about other options um but

7225
02:54:34,645 --> 02:54:34,878
really didn't work out so well

7226
02:54:34,878 --> 02:54:35,707
here.

7227
02:54:35,707 --> 02:54:36,272
>> that's why I'm supporting

7228
02:54:36,272 --> 02:54:36,662
this council member thomas.

7229
02:54:36,662 --> 02:54:37,706
yeah.

7230
02:54:37,706 --> 02:54:38,383
I just want to add I'm glad

7231
02:54:38,383 --> 02:54:39,670
that you had that discussion

7232
02:54:39,670 --> 02:54:39,852
about that because on the

7233
02:54:39,852 --> 02:54:40,539
previous council we did have a

7234
02:54:40,539 --> 02:54:41,116
discussion about how we were

7235
02:54:41,116 --> 02:54:41,788
possibly rubber stamping to

7236
02:54:41,788 --> 02:54:42,463
some degree the alley closures

7237
02:54:42,463 --> 02:54:43,380
and then after some discussion,

7238
02:54:43,380 --> 02:54:43,694
you know, there's some

7239
02:54:43,694 --> 02:54:44,368
opportunity there on some

7240
02:54:44,368 --> 02:54:44,611
of them so we should scrutinize

7241
02:54:44,611 --> 02:54:45,459
them.

7242
02:54:45,459 --> 02:54:47,562
I had a similar situation where

7243
02:54:47,562 --> 02:54:48,414
in lonsdale it looked like an

7244
02:54:48,414 --> 02:54:49,273
alley closure would actually

7245
02:54:49,273 --> 02:54:52,390
impede the possibility of a

7246
02:54:52,390 --> 02:54:53,175
future green way.

7247
02:54:53,175 --> 02:54:55,447
and we went out and miss ellie

7248
02:54:55,447 --> 02:54:56,228
and the developer and we spent

7249
02:54:56,228 --> 02:54:59,228
a particular quite a bit

7250
02:54:59,319 --> 02:55:02,805
of time on it and we found out

7251
02:55:02,805 --> 02:55:03,569
that actually the alley closer

7252
02:55:03,569 --> 02:55:05,969
was justified because the

7253
02:55:06,774 --> 02:55:07,948
potential for a greenway wasn't

7254
02:55:07,948 --> 02:55:08,189
really there as it was on first

7255
02:55:08,189 --> 02:55:10,189
blush.

7256
02:55:11,425 --> 02:55:12,303
so I had a particular situation

7257
02:55:12,303 --> 02:55:15,305
where I scrutinized it and it

7258
02:55:15,305 --> 02:55:16,840
found out yeah, ok, this

7259
02:55:16,840 --> 02:55:19,256
is we're not giving up city

7260
02:55:19,256 --> 02:55:20,250
property or we're not giving up

7261
02:55:20,250 --> 02:55:22,506
a significant right to the

7262
02:55:22,506 --> 02:55:23,164
public but I applaud you for

7263
02:55:23,164 --> 02:55:25,564
discussing that because any

7264
02:55:26,558 --> 02:55:27,133
time we close these alleys or

7265
02:55:27,133 --> 02:55:29,533
things like that, we're

7266
02:55:29,710 --> 02:55:30,670
actually giving up public

7267
02:55:30,670 --> 02:55:33,700
property so they've got

7268
02:55:34,467 --> 02:55:34,909
criteria most of the time

7269
02:55:34,909 --> 02:55:35,960
they're right.

7270
02:55:35,960 --> 02:55:38,319
but that doesn't mean as far as

7271
02:55:38,319 --> 02:55:38,990
closing these alleys but that

7272
02:55:38,990 --> 02:55:40,165
doesn't mean that we shouldn't,

7273
02:55:40,165 --> 02:55:42,126
you know, keep an eye on it

7274
02:55:42,126 --> 02:55:43,434
because it is public property

7275
02:55:43,434 --> 02:55:46,500
and we lose it if we don't be

7276
02:55:46,500 --> 02:55:46,705
mindful.

7277
02:55:46,705 --> 02:55:47,970
>> thank you.

7278
02:55:47,970 --> 02:55:47,926
thanks.

7279
02:55:47,926 --> 02:55:50,400
I have one other question.

7280
02:55:50,400 --> 02:55:50,379
this is for mr. Mullins comment

7281
02:55:50,379 --> 02:55:50,768
.

7282
02:55:50,768 --> 02:55:52,104
really?

7283
02:55:52,104 --> 02:55:53,666
yeah, I signed up to speak but

7284
02:55:53,666 --> 02:55:55,666
please it's late.

7285
02:55:57,619 --> 02:56:01,345
yeah, I was one of the things

7286
02:56:01,345 --> 02:56:02,600
that we exchanged when we were

7287
02:56:02,600 --> 02:56:02,757
talking about this was

7288
02:56:02,757 --> 02:56:05,157
improvements to the sidewalks

7289
02:56:05,651 --> 02:56:06,230
that would be made to help with

7290
02:56:06,230 --> 02:56:08,914
some of the pedestrian access

7291
02:56:08,914 --> 02:56:09,945
that we'd be losing.

7292
02:56:09,945 --> 02:56:12,919
but another item was that there

7293
02:56:12,919 --> 02:56:13,790
is proposed and interior green

7294
02:56:13,790 --> 02:56:14,360
space for this potential

7295
02:56:14,360 --> 02:56:16,360
development.

7296
02:56:17,692 --> 02:56:18,368
yeah, and we had some emails

7297
02:56:18,368 --> 02:56:19,148
about that today and I

7298
02:56:19,148 --> 02:56:20,923
appreciate you know, we asked

7299
02:56:20,923 --> 02:56:21,849
to postpone for two weeks.

7300
02:56:21,849 --> 02:56:22,526
give us more time of course

7301
02:56:22,526 --> 02:56:23,914
that two weeks also includes

7302
02:56:23,914 --> 02:56:24,882
spring break and I had a three

7303
02:56:24,882 --> 02:56:25,771
trial so we really haven't been

7304
02:56:25,771 --> 02:56:28,350
able to engage on it quite as

7305
02:56:28,350 --> 02:56:29,586
much as I'd hoped we had.

7306
02:56:29,586 --> 02:56:30,261
and so I would you know, this

7307
02:56:30,261 --> 02:56:32,471
is first reading I think there

7308
02:56:32,471 --> 02:56:33,354
has to be a second and I think

7309
02:56:33,354 --> 02:56:34,345
between now and then I think

7310
02:56:34,345 --> 02:56:36,304
we'd want to have some more

7311
02:56:36,304 --> 02:56:37,272
conversations to address that

7312
02:56:37,272 --> 02:56:40,455
but that you'll see on the

7313
02:56:40,455 --> 02:56:41,133
plans there's that western side

7314
02:56:41,133 --> 02:56:43,860
where there's some parking and

7315
02:56:43,860 --> 02:56:44,156
there's some greenery and

7316
02:56:44,156 --> 02:56:44,949
that's the area that's going to

7317
02:56:44,949 --> 02:56:47,549
be kind of open more to the

7318
02:56:47,549 --> 02:56:48,321
public at central to the fact

7319
02:56:48,321 --> 02:56:49,870
that it's kind of central to

7320
02:56:49,870 --> 02:56:51,275
the building itself but it's

7321
02:56:51,275 --> 02:56:51,945
kind of off center because it's

7322
02:56:51,945 --> 02:56:52,966
on the western side.

7323
02:56:52,966 --> 02:56:55,129
it's not the interior courtyard

7324
02:56:55,129 --> 02:56:56,540
area.

7325
02:56:56,540 --> 02:56:56,943
that's where the pool is that's

7326
02:56:56,943 --> 02:56:57,174
not going to be open to the

7327
02:56:57,174 --> 02:56:59,174
public.

7328
02:56:59,242 --> 02:57:00,275
so that's what we proposed.

7329
02:57:00,275 --> 02:57:00,523
but I've got mr. Mr. Harris

7330
02:57:00,523 --> 02:57:02,523
here.

7331
02:57:03,580 --> 02:57:04,510
he's the developer nottoway and

7332
02:57:04,510 --> 02:57:07,648
mr. Cohen talked with you know,

7333
02:57:07,648 --> 02:57:08,424
we're not set in concrete and

7334
02:57:08,424 --> 02:57:10,391
all this we still have

7335
02:57:10,391 --> 02:57:11,260
opportunities to tweak some

7336
02:57:11,260 --> 02:57:11,949
things if there's things that

7337
02:57:11,949 --> 02:57:14,530
you specifically have in mind,

7338
02:57:14,530 --> 02:57:14,881
we're open continuing to have

7339
02:57:14,881 --> 02:57:16,230
that conversation.

7340
02:57:16,230 --> 02:57:18,397
yeah, I think just to say this

7341
02:57:18,397 --> 02:57:19,147
for the period between now and

7342
02:57:19,147 --> 02:57:22,115
next reading is that that

7343
02:57:22,115 --> 02:57:23,275
public access is really

7344
02:57:23,275 --> 02:57:26,453
important and making it be a

7345
02:57:26,453 --> 02:57:27,118
part of the community, not a

7346
02:57:27,118 --> 02:57:27,572
monolith that is saying you're

7347
02:57:27,572 --> 02:57:29,572
not welcome here.

7348
02:57:34,146 --> 02:57:35,116
so that's that's all ok, thing

7349
02:57:35,116 --> 02:57:37,850
no further limits on all those

7350
02:57:37,850 --> 02:57:37,829
in favor please say I opposed

7351
02:57:37,829 --> 02:57:39,829
the motion carries.

7352
02:57:41,181 --> 02:57:42,413
thank you all very much.

7353
02:57:42,413 --> 02:57:42,648
uh, now we'll move on to public

7354
02:57:42,648 --> 02:57:44,648
forum.

7355
02:57:45,497 --> 02:57:46,740

7356
02:57:46,740 --> 02:57:47,700

room than had we passed

parker's second resolution we

7374
02:58:53,206 --> 02:58:54,181

7375
02:58:54,181 --> 02:58:57,667
discussing a fix instead we are

7376
02:58:57,667 --> 02:58:58,904
two years away from a solution.

7377
02:58:58,904 --> 02:59:01,274
how many will die in the next

7378
02:59:01,274 --> 02:59:03,274

community centered events focus

7411
03:00:02,171 --> 03:00:02,935
on advancing awareness

03:00:11,232 --> 03:00:14,338
what started as a one day

7418
03:00:14,338 --> 03:00:15,910
conference has now grown into

7419
03:00:15,910 --> 03:00:17,478
something much bigger in

7420
03:00:17,478 --> 03:00:18,231
twenty twenty six this year we

7421
03:00:18,231 --> 03:00:18,795
are launching knoxville's the

7422
03:00:18,795 --> 03:00:21,195
first official black maternal

7423
03:00:21,599 --> 03:00:22,573
health week taking place april

7424
03:00:22,573 --> 03:00:25,338
11th through the 17th a full

7425
03:00:25,338 --> 03:00:26,900
free week of programing that

7426
03:00:26,900 --> 03:00:26,848
uplifts local birth workers,

7427
03:00:26,848 --> 03:00:28,848
health care professionals,

7428
03:00:29,619 --> 03:00:30,440
researchers, families.

7429
03:00:30,440 --> 03:00:32,840
this expansion reflects both

7430
03:00:33,323 --> 03:00:34,750
the urgency of the issue and

7431
03:00:34,750 --> 03:00:34,942
the strength of community

7432
03:00:34,942 --> 03:00:37,918
demand over the past three

7433
03:00:37,918 --> 03:00:38,483
years we've created a space

7434
03:00:38,483 --> 03:00:40,883
where honest conversations can

7435
03:00:41,396 --> 03:00:42,590
happen in public health where

7436
03:00:42,590 --> 03:00:42,813
family share lived experiences,

7437
03:00:42,813 --> 03:00:44,813
providers deepen their

7438
03:00:45,589 --> 03:00:46,139
understanding of culturally

7439
03:00:46,139 --> 03:00:48,139
compensate comprehensive care

7440
03:00:49,432 --> 03:00:50,760
and doulas birth workers and

7441
03:00:50,760 --> 03:00:50,654
health professionals are

7442
03:00:50,654 --> 03:00:53,540
recognized as essential leaders

7443
03:00:53,436 --> 03:00:54,201
in improving health outcomes

7444
03:00:54,201 --> 03:00:54,444
and this work is fairly

7445
03:00:54,444 --> 03:00:56,444
critical.

7446
03:00:57,782 --> 03:00:58,576
tennessee currently takes 40

7447
03:00:58,576 --> 03:00:59,433
days in the national in the

7448
03:00:59,433 --> 03:01:01,801
nation excuse me for maternal

7449
03:01:01,801 --> 03:01:02,370
mortality with rate

7450
03:01:02,370 --> 03:01:04,770
significantly higher than the

7451
03:01:05,520 --> 03:01:06,124
national average as tennessee

7452
03:01:06,124 --> 03:01:09,240
has a seat on our maternal

7453
03:01:09,240 --> 03:01:10,199
health report card, we also

7454
03:01:10,199 --> 03:01:10,949
continue to see elevated rates

7455
03:01:10,949 --> 03:01:13,513
of preterm birth and infant

7456
03:01:13,513 --> 03:01:14,199
mortality outcomes that

7457
03:01:14,199 --> 03:01:16,199
disproportionately impact black

7458
03:01:17,790 --> 03:01:17,937
families and rural communities

7459
03:01:17,937 --> 03:01:18,763
across our great state.

7460
03:01:18,763 --> 03:01:21,479
these are not just statistics.

7461
03:01:21,479 --> 03:01:22,156
these are families in our

7462
03:01:22,156 --> 03:01:24,441
communities that we serve what

7463
03:01:24,441 --> 03:01:25,295
we are building through black

7464
03:01:25,295 --> 03:01:25,763
maternal health week is a

7465
03:01:25,763 --> 03:01:27,763
community driven response.

7466
03:01:28,886 --> 03:01:29,341
we educate by making maternal

7467
03:01:29,341 --> 03:01:31,341
health information accessible

7468
03:01:32,526 --> 03:01:33,541
and culturally relevant.

7469
03:01:33,541 --> 03:01:34,108
we advocate by lifting the

7470
03:01:34,108 --> 03:01:36,192
voices of families and birth

7471
03:01:36,192 --> 03:01:37,450
workers and we connect

7472
03:01:37,450 --> 03:01:37,709
resources to ensure better

7473
03:01:37,709 --> 03:01:40,109
outcomes for mothers, babies

7474
03:01:40,487 --> 03:01:41,421
and families.

7475
03:01:41,421 --> 03:01:42,303
some of this work has been

7476
03:01:42,303 --> 03:01:45,940
supported in part by myself

7477
03:01:45,940 --> 03:01:45,777
investment, mutual aid and

7478
03:01:45,777 --> 03:01:48,450
knoxville's two or two funds

7479
03:01:48,450 --> 03:01:49,930
which we are deeply grateful

7480
03:01:49,930 --> 03:01:49,807
for that investment.

7481
03:01:49,807 --> 03:01:51,930

7486
03:02:00,695 --> 03:02:01,261
full week of programing we are

7487
03:02:01,261 --> 03:02:03,661
seeking additional support to

7488
03:02:04,139 --> 03:02:05,940
ensure this initiative remains

7489
03:02:05,940 --> 03:02:07,494
free, accessible and impactful

7490
03:02:08,386 --> 03:02:09,449
for our community because we

7491
03:02:09,449 --> 03:02:09,905
invest in maternal health care

7492
03:02:09,905 --> 03:02:11,832
that is community base.

7493
03:02:11,832 --> 03:02:12,484

7494
03:02:12,484 --> 03:02:13,308

03:03:16,164 --> 03:03:16,844
park I just remind you of the

7522
03:03:16,844 --> 03:03:19,738
sierra club participated in the

7523
03:03:19,738 --> 03:03:23,338
movement to save show how apart

7524
03:03:23,644 --> 03:03:24,625
from being sold and now there's

7525
03:03:24,625 --> 03:03:28,201
a new process with a community

7526
03:03:28,201 --> 03:03:30,783
advisory being formed but the

7527
03:03:30,783 --> 03:03:31,562
group selection on this process

7528
03:03:31,562 --> 03:03:34,562
and the mayor handpicked the

7529
03:03:34,742 --> 03:03:35,830
members and bypassed community

7530
03:03:35,830 --> 03:03:36,219
of voices.

7531
03:03:36,219 --> 03:03:38,780
now I know that's kind of been

7532
03:03:38,780 --> 03:03:39,740
the usual practice in other

7533
03:03:39,740 --> 03:03:42,740
areas but this given the

7534
03:03:43,235 --> 03:03:43,998
history is a really bad idea

7535
03:03:43,998 --> 03:03:46,998
now the process is incomplete.

7536
03:03:47,253 --> 03:03:48,128
we need to add to the list

7537
03:03:48,128 --> 03:03:51,108
where are the advocates for

7538
03:03:51,108 --> 03:03:51,858
rally for kilauea, the city

7539
03:03:51,858 --> 03:03:54,258
council movement, sierra club

7540
03:03:54,828 --> 03:03:55,576
neighborhood groups like town

7541
03:03:55,576 --> 03:03:57,976
hall e, other neighborhood

7542
03:03:58,452 --> 03:03:59,389
groups around holiway park.

7543
03:03:59,389 --> 03:04:00,150
if we want to collaborate and

7544
03:04:00,150 --> 03:04:02,550
create peace between former

7545
03:04:03,330 --> 03:04:03,702
contenders, why wait the

7546
03:04:03,702 --> 03:04:05,859
advisory group so heavily

7547
03:04:05,859 --> 03:04:06,672
toward one side?

7548
03:04:06,672 --> 03:04:09,720
councilman grant ask for

7549
03:04:09,649 --> 03:04:09,991
community members willing to

7550
03:04:09,991 --> 03:04:10,808
participate.

7551
03:04:10,808 --> 03:04:11,936
I'd put myself forward.

7552
03:04:11,936 --> 03:04:13,901
I wanted to make sure the

7553
03:04:13,901 --> 03:04:14,452
environmental principles the

7554
03:04:14,452 --> 03:04:16,452
community had originally

7555
03:04:17,450 --> 03:04:17,983
advanced had a proper place

7556
03:04:17,983 --> 03:04:19,108
development process.

7557
03:04:19,108 --> 03:04:21,508
after all, this administration

7558
03:04:22,930 --> 03:04:22,967
ran an environmental program I

7559
03:04:22,967 --> 03:04:25,967
didn't think the mayor needed

7560
03:04:26,361 --> 03:04:27,190
necessarily to pick me but I

7561
03:04:27,190 --> 03:04:27,900
was shocked that practically

7562
03:04:27,900 --> 03:04:30,700
none of the people who had

7563
03:04:30,700 --> 03:04:30,640
spoken had been selected

7564
03:04:30,640 --> 03:04:33,400
virtually to a person.

7565
03:04:33,767 --> 03:04:34,627
those community members have

7566
03:04:34,627 --> 03:04:37,627
insisted that the park doesn't

7567
03:04:54,891 --> 03:04:55,630
belong to any one neighborhood

7568
03:04:55,630 --> 03:04:56,764
demographic or class.

7569
03:04:56,764 --> 03:04:57,657
it's for all of us and it's to

7570
03:04:57,657 --> 03:04:58,441
be shared with the world but to

7571
03:04:58,441 --> 03:04:59,129
develop it right we need to

7572
03:04:59,129 --> 03:04:59,923
bring together the voices who

7573
03:04:59,923 --> 03:05:00,489
have spoken out to protect the

7574
03:05:00,489 --> 03:05:01,171
park without excluding those

7575
03:05:01,171 --> 03:05:02,127
who work towards selling it.

7576
03:05:02,127 --> 03:05:02,799
so far we haven't done so and

7577
03:05:02,799 --> 03:05:03,642
it needs to be fixed.

7578
03:05:03,642 --> 03:05:04,100
we need more than the voices

7579
03:05:04,100 --> 03:05:04,624
of established insiders.

7580
03:05:04,624 --> 03:05:04,968
we need strong voices

7581
03:05:04,968 --> 03:05:05,218
supporting environmental

7582
03:05:05,218 --> 03:05:06,152
protection.

7583
03:05:06,152 --> 03:05:06,607
we need voices who are aware

7584
03:05:06,607 --> 03:05:07,347
of the park's history.

7585
03:05:07,347 --> 03:05:08,200
we need people who understand

7586
03:05:08,200 --> 03:05:08,670
the black communities fear

7587
03:05:08,670 --> 03:05:09,700
of marginalization and

7588
03:05:09,700 --> 03:05:09,732
displaced.

7589
03:05:09,732 --> 03:05:10,503
we need advocates for

7590
03:05:10,503 --> 03:05:12,887
development who insist that it

7591
03:05:12,887 --> 03:05:13,564
be sustainable and economically

7592
03:05:13,564 --> 03:05:16,531
just new city council members

7593
03:05:16,531 --> 03:05:17,275
have already developed a

7594
03:05:17,275 --> 03:05:17,607
reputation for independence

7595
03:05:17,607 --> 03:05:19,607
of thought.

7596
03:05:21,253 --> 03:05:21,941
please press the mayor and city

7597
03:05:21,941 --> 03:05:24,537
council to create an advisory

7598
03:05:24,537 --> 03:05:25,409
group and I notice you already

7599
03:05:25,409 --> 03:05:27,776

7600
03:05:27,776 --> 03:05:28,549
contending elements from the

7601
03:05:28,549 --> 03:05:31,549
debate and instructs them to

7602
03:05:31,833 --> 03:05:32,923
develop trust and collaboration

7603
03:05:32,923 --> 03:05:33,893
with each other so we get a

7604
03:05:33,893 --> 03:05:36,540
plan the whole city can be

7605
03:05:36,540 --> 03:05:36,778

7616
03:05:52,359 --> 03:05:53,112
the essence of this message

7617
03:05:53,112 --> 03:05:55,512

7627
03:06:11,552 --> 03:06:12,611

7628
03:06:12,611 --> 03:06:13,176
proceeded west to the entrance

7629
03:06:13,176 --> 03:06:15,576
ramp of about 640 westbound.

7630
03:06:16,302 --> 03:06:16,986
for the record, the cyclist had

03:06:16,986 --> 03:06:19,464
the green light at the

7632
03:06:19,464 --> 03:06:20,427
westbound intersection and was

7633
03:06:20,427 --> 03:06:22,620
not speeding and we were

7634

additionally, the cyclist

7637
03:06:27,173 --> 03:06:28,344
proceeded on his or her journey

7638
03:06:28,344 --> 03:06:30,915
and did not stop in a safe

7639
03:06:30,915 --> 03:06:31,638
manner.

7640
03:06:31,638 --> 03:06:32,425
we retrieved the following

7641
03:06:32,425 --> 03:06:34,987

7647
03:06:43,455 --> 03:06:45,855
police officers that were

7648
03:06:45,922 --> 03:06:46,691
stationed on the porch of a

7649
03:06:46,691 --> 03:06:47,245
knox county old courthouse as

7650
03:06:47,245 --> 03:06:49,245

7652
03:06:51,823 --> 03:06:54,191

aforementioned items in

7654
03:06:54,957 --> 03:06:55,633
question and asked for guidance

7655
03:06:55,633 --> 03:06:57,583
as to how to surrender.

7656
03:06:57,583 --> 03:06:58,551
they found that I understood

7657
03:06:58,551 --> 03:06:59,628
the proper authorities at which

7658
03:06:59,628 --> 03:07:02,205
time they told us to take the

7659
03:07:02,205 --> 03:07:05,960
the items to the public safety

7660
03:07:05,960 --> 03:07:08,696

7664
03:07:13,805 --> 03:07:14,794
went to the public after the

7665
03:07:14,794 --> 03:07:17,267
meeting rather we went to the

7666
03:07:17,267 --> 03:07:18,380
public safety complex to

7667
03:07:18,380 --> 03:07:21,380

during the regular business

7671
03:07:25,458 --> 03:07:26,113
hours as our schedules did not

7672
03:07:26,113 --> 03:07:28,740
coincide with the regular

7673
03:07:28,740 --> 03:07:28,839

saturday february the

7680
03:07:41,426 --> 03:07:44,426

7681
03:07:45,348 --> 03:07:46,116
city police cars parked at the

7682
03:07:46,116 --> 03:07:47,675
parking lot at the intersection

7683
03:07:47,675 --> 03:07:48,427
of metal springs mineral

7684
03:07:48,427 --> 03:07:49,960
springs road and walker

7685
03:07:49,960 --> 03:07:52,960
boulevard at which time I

7686
03:07:52,177 --> 03:07:53,530
parked my car the parking lot

7687
03:07:53,530 --> 03:07:56,148
to speak to the officers about

7688
03:07:56,148 --> 03:07:57,140
what I have conveyed here in in

7689
03:07:57,140 --> 03:08:00,117
response to my story they asked

7690
03:08:00,117 --> 03:08:03,117
me about the current location

7691
03:08:04,129 --> 03:08:05,900
of the following items at which

7692
03:08:05,900 --> 03:08:07,810
time I opened the trunk of my

7693
03:08:07,810 --> 03:08:07,740
car and presented them with the

7694
03:08:07,740 --> 03:08:08,207
articles in question in

7695
03:08:08,207 --> 03:08:10,207
conjunction with our

7696
03:08:10,779 --> 03:08:11,644
conversation the officers

7697
03:08:11,644 --> 03:08:12,598
carefully examined the items at

7698
03:08:12,598 --> 03:08:15,475
which time one of the officers

7699
03:08:15,475 --> 03:08:16,207
linked the findings to the

7700
03:08:16,207 --> 03:08:18,207
madisonville police department

7701
03:08:19,383 --> 03:08:20,164
at the conclusion of my time

7702
03:08:20,164 --> 03:08:22,756
with these two officers they

7703
03:08:22,756 --> 03:08:23,927
took the items in question with

7704
03:08:23,927 --> 03:08:26,695
them so that the items could be

7705
03:08:26,695 --> 03:08:27,816
dispositioned accordingly.

7706
03:08:27,816 --> 03:08:28,476
in summary, my message via this

7707
03:08:28,476 --> 03:08:30,876

city council anti-american can

7709
03:08:31,521 --> 03:08:33,521

7712
03:08:37,898 --> 03:08:38,881
on february 27 twenty twenty

7713
03:08:38,881 --> 03:08:41,672
six at which time they conveyed

7714

and is conveyed in this message

7715
03:08:42,100 --> 03:08:42,830

7716
03:08:42,830 --> 03:08:43,488
these two officers have

7717
03:08:43,488 --> 03:08:45,888
excellent people skills in

7718

7720
03:08:47,706 --> 03:08:50,106
valuable assets to the

7721
03:08:50,269 --> 03:08:51,516
knoxville police department.

7722
03:08:51,516 --> 03:08:54,820

03:08:54,820 --> 03:08:54,742
