Sticks and stones may break your bones, but a bullet is wet to my son's life. 331 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:23,820 I haven't disappeared. I've become quiet because I'm deeply disappointed in the system that I spent four and a half years trying hard to trust. 332 00:30:24,260 --> 00:30:30,720 And I refuse to allow my advocacy to be labeled hostile, simply because my questions make leaders uncomfortable. 333 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:37,100 I am a mother seeking justice for my child's steel while asking and letting officials and public 334 00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:43,460 servants to simply do their jobs. I am not a threat or the problem. The problem is much, much 335 00:30:43,460 --> 00:30:49,760 bigger and deeper than I am. And while I stepped away from the podium, I never stepped away from 336 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,760 this community. I've continued to volunteer with our children. I participated in the food, 337 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,360 pantries, the clothes, drives, I'm a team, so I'm at the team's assignments, the community 338 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:05,780 lockbox giveaways, and work with parents, date without a title, a paycheck or a 501 339 00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:12,360 seat attached to my name. I continue to show up because I genuinely care while still being forced 340 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:18,360 to police my own son's murder case. When defended, one of Clayton County's tops most 341 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:23,260 went up over three years was finally apprehended and Kentucky. I wasn't notified of his 342 00:31:23,260 --> 00:31:29,380 tradition back here or his first appearance. That's the problem. Well, the other one that was 343 00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:35,920 I don't want had been incarcerated in Florida ever since November and from monitor and all 344 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:44,320 without our share or our DA knowing, I notified them after I found out after 215 days. Then 345 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:51,880 I witnessed Fingerpoint and after 226 days and 21 hours he walked out of the Florida jail unsupervised. 346 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:57,140 It took Clayton County 45 days to rebooked his line, although the arrest and 347 00:31:57,140 --> 00:32:01,780 Alpha David alleged that he stated, I do this. 348 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,860 Kiel people, that's a public safety issue. 349 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:11,040 Court started at 2 o'clock and I received the message at 224 and was already 350 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,860 in session and I was only invited by Zoom. 351 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,160 Yet somehow the defendant was notified to be present, but not me. 352 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,300 Talk behind my back all you want when in my face you will not play. 353 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,640 I have lost confidence in some of the leadership in Clayton County, but I have not lost 354 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,440 my commitment to this community. 355 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,720 As a question, does not make me make me difficult, expecting someone to know their job does 356 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,760 not make me hostile and demanding justice for my child. 357 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,700 China does not make me unstable, it is only a fraction of what makes me his mother. 358 00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:56,500 Again, sticks and stones may break my bones, but an elective official without compassion, accountability, and concerns what the people they serve can do from in this harm to an entire community. 359 00:32:57,180 --> 00:33:02,780 It's not just me.

I'm Caleb Jones. I've been working for the Department of Transportation for four years now 448 00:42:14,430 --> 00:42:27,750 He said, I just wanted to come up and show face to you guys to just let you know guys that there are three things that I feel I can improve into the transportation development budget and helping. 449 00:42:28,350 --> 00:42:38,530 One thing we have a problem with is recruiting young men because they see operate and they see what we come in as and they feel like they can get more money, other places. 450 00:42:38,530 --> 00:42:46,110 But me and still into them that Clayton County Department of Transportation is a career job when the offer's benefits and can help in the long run 451 00:42:46,110 --> 00:42:53,250 Can it actually help them more to being with us instead of trying to go on to a business that won't really 452 00:42:53,250 --> 00:42:58,730 Better for their long jibbet another thing I would like to hint on is a quit meet. We have a lot of 453 00:42:58,730 --> 00:43:06,130 Operator quit me that is consistently outside due to nine housing factors and when we get into weather problems 454 00:43:06,130 --> 00:43:10,970 then we have to constrict them and try to do the best we can to make sure that they work 455 00:43:10,970 --> 00:43:16,210 because they are sitting outside all year long during the sun, he reign. And this is an 456 00:43:16,210 --> 00:43:21,630 election of problems that we deal with. Another thing is understanding that we offer benefits that 457 00:43:21,630 --> 00:43:29,510 can help other youth in the long run. So, my suggestion is to be more open to helping the 458 00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:34,910 Department of Transportation so we can now bring in more youth into our department instead of 459 00:43:34,910 --> 00:43:38,730 to kind of elongate out to see, you know, what can have us in the future. 460 00:43:39,130 --> 00:43:42,730 I would like to bring more 25 or 26 euros instead of us trying to 461 00:43:42,730 --> 00:43:46,710 encompass to have 55 euros in 60 euros. 462 00:43:47,830 --> 00:43:49,430 Just saying this thing. 463 00:43:50,950 --> 00:43:51,650 That's it, guys. 464 00:43:51,710 --> 00:43:52,190 Thank you. 465 00:43:52,430 --> 00:43:54,530 Thank you. 466 00:43:58,490 --> 00:43:59,070 I do. 467 00:43:59,330 --> 00:44:00,870 You said, do we have time? 468 00:44:01,190 --> 00:44:01,970 We don't have time. 469 00:44:02,670 --> 00:44:02,990 All right. 470 00:44:02,990 --> 00:44:09,410 I do have Senator Devinport as well, Senator Devinport. 471 00:44:09,530 --> 00:44:14,370 Can we take a personal point on privilege to have her to come up real quick, board members, 472 00:44:14,570 --> 00:44:15,630 if you okay with that? 473 00:44:15,750 --> 00:44:17,330 Senator Devinport, can you come up please? 474 00:44:32,380 --> 00:44:33,200 Thank you very much. 475 00:44:33,540 --> 00:44:35,080 Madam Chair and members of the board. 476 00:44:35,420 --> 00:44:41,420 I'm here as a citizen today to bring something to your attention, concerning campaign 477 00:44:41,420 --> 00:44:42,240 signs. 478 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:47,140 I'm Gail Davenport, 77-40 Peel the Road in Jonesboro. 479 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:57,480 To ask you, I'll please not remove sands from the candidates that are running for office on their own property. 480 00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:59,700 I know I have to talk to men of you before. 481 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,600 This, you all continued to tell my size down.

And so the purpose of this system is to bring 610 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:47,880 compliance across the county and to bring cost savings to the county. Those are the top two 611 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:57,300 reasons for moving forward with this program. Sounds like we need to train our people train our 612 00:53:58,100 --> 00:54:04,620 missioners, train whoever's traveling, on what they need to do instead of paying this amount. 613 00:54:04,620 --> 00:54:10,900 We just had an elected official come up because that department couldn't get what they wanted 614 00:54:10,900 --> 00:54:17,280 this for as money for personnel, that kind of thing. I can see us doing for the different 615 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:24,480 departments and all, but it seems like a waste to me. Express to my personnel, we have 616 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,220 in place that can do this? Well they're not trained to do this. 617 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,440 Well they can be trained to do this. Well they can be trained. 618 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,660 It's a cost 92 training employee. But it won't cost 98,000. 619 00:54:37,460 --> 00:54:43,620 Wow. Can I say, let's just understand, this is software as a service. 620 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,340 Not a department replacing our people. Oh no. Correct. 621 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,140 We still got the training to do the software. 622 00:54:50,140 --> 00:54:54,440 we still have to make it. It's always that's part of the set-up thing. But the thing becomes 623 00:54:55,660 --> 00:54:59,980 is this will begin to maximize the efficiency and cut down. So the return on the... 624 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:08,000 I would think would be probably here too, where we're looking at the initial statements, because here was 275. 625 00:55:08,540 --> 00:55:16,060 Yeah, for a year, for software's service, which for many of the services is somewhat economical from what I've seen. 626 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:25,620 Correct. And the program is designed to provide reporting to the county that will show the cost savings over time. 627 00:55:25,620 --> 00:55:29,780 So it's almost definite that we will see 628 00:55:29,780 --> 00:55:31,420 call savings over time. 629 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,000 In addition to the compliance that's desperately 630 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,660 needed within the county. 631 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:38,280 Thank you. 632 00:55:38,500 --> 00:55:43,240 Can you explain to those who's listening? 633 00:55:44,380 --> 00:55:47,580 Just a little not to lower third grade level. 634 00:55:47,860 --> 00:55:50,000 What do you mean by compliance and how 635 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,280 relates to our audience, internal or external 636 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,260 audience. Good question. 637 00:55:58,970 --> 00:56:04,110 So, one of the things in the current travel policy, there's 638 00:56:04,110 --> 00:56:09,710 clear language that pretty much says that whenever a traveler books a hotel 639 00:56:09,710 --> 00:56:17,270 learn that they book a room under GSA roots and so GSA rates are found with the federal 640 00:56:17,270 --> 00:56:26,450 government, just to give you an example, if you travel to the city of Memphis, GSA might 641 00:56:26,450 --> 00:56:36,850 say that the per-demry for that city per hotel night is $150. And so the traveler, in that 642 00:56:36,850 --> 00:56:44,070 case, has the obligation to find a hotel room that has a comparable rate to that $150 643 00:56:45,410 --> 00:56:46,770 and then the audience. 644 00:56:46,790 --> 00:56:48,310 And so yes, correct. 645 00:56:48,730 --> 00:56:58,710 And so, our auditors do review the travel costs and expenses that incurred, you know, during our budget 646 00:56:58,710 --> 00:56:59,070 years. 647 00:56:59,270 --> 00:57:05,750 And so, that information is also important and moving forward that our auditors also 648 00:57:05,750 --> 00:57:10,350 expect us to be in compliance with our own travel policy. 649 00:57:10,350 --> 00:57:18,070 I don't know how much travel is being done, but I know on my, if I'm traveling personal, 650 00:57:18,190 --> 00:57:22,850 my personal travel, I go to these different charvago and some of these things, or whatever, 651 00:57:23,070 --> 00:57:24,130 to get different rates. 652 00:57:24,630 --> 00:57:27,010 But normally if I'm traveling for the county, 653 00:57:29,890 --> 00:57:34,990 and I register before the deadline, there are 654 00:57:34,990 --> 00:57:40,550 counts given, so I won't prolong this, but I just don't. 655 00:57:40,650 --> 00:57:48,050 Now I also want to advise the board that the travel budget for fiscal year 2026 reached 656 00:57:48,050 --> 00:57:54,130 a little of a million dollars.
