1
00:00:11,310 --> 00:00:22,250
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the August 25th, 2026 Board of Commissioners meeting. I'm your district for commissioner and presiding officer, Shikara Johnson.

2
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:38,790
Thank you for being here with us today. We do have a long agenda, so please bear with us. If we are running out of printed agendas, there is a QR code outside that front door that you can scan and get the agenda on your phone.

3
00:00:39,870 --> 00:00:46,790
Before we move into the inspirational, I did want to take a moment to have a moment of silence.

4
00:00:47,470 --> 00:00:52,570
We've had some passings in our community and some anniversaries of some passings in our community.

5
00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:59,930
I wanted to recognize the passing of our teacher and here at the county, Mr. Derek Moore,

6
00:01:00,210 --> 00:01:03,550
who passed the other week, saving a life in Florida.

7
00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:09,150
We also have the anniversary of Mr. Gary Bernard with the City of Decatur, and I know we have

8
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:11,790
some Decatur Firemen with us here today I believe.

9
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:18,930
And then we have also recently had some members of the BLC family who have had passings in

10
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:19,910
their family as well.

11
00:01:20,050 --> 00:01:25,150
So we want to take a moment to pause for them, and then we're coming, we just have the anniversary

12
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:32,910
of the passing of Officer Rose and Master Firefighter Fans' anniversary is coming up soon.

13
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:41,010
So, if this time, if we could just take a moment to pause and reflect on the losses that we have experienced into Cap County,

14
00:01:41,650 --> 00:01:42,830
let's take that moment now.

15
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:43,830
Thank you.

16
00:01:57,340 --> 00:01:58,100
Thank you everybody.

17
00:01:58,380 --> 00:01:59,720
I appreciate that.

18
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,480
So, now we will move into our normal agenda.

19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,220
We will start with our inspirational speaker.

20
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:14,200
Ms. Lauren Faison, who is the District 3 intern.

21
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,560
If you will come to this podium, there she is, man, and I will read an introduction for you.

22
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:24,460
Ms. Faesons serves as Commissioner Nicole Messiah's District 3 intern.

23
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:30,440
She is a driven professional passionate about project management leadership service and personal

24
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,720
growth. She holds a bachelor's degree in sociology and is pursuing a master's degree in

25
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,260
project management with experience in a administration, project coordination, and government

26
00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:46,720
operations. She is committed to excellence and continuous development. Lauren began

27
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,540
singing at the age of five with the encouragement of her parents. Her gift has

28
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:55,680
allowed her to sing Gailas and alongside artists including the Nointed Paste

29
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,960
Sisters and Kira Shard. Through both her career and music Lauren strives to inspire others

30
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,800
serve with purpose and become the person God has called her to be. Good morning.

31
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Good morning

32
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,320
everyone. First I would like to take the time to thank Commissioner Masaya and the Board of Commissioners

33
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,380
for allowing me the opportunity to stand before you all. Typically, you all will have the

34
00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:27,000
inspirational speaker, but this morning I will be rendering you all a short inspirational song.

35
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,380
I hope you guys enjoy.

36
00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:10,750
I pledge allegiance

37
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:19,340
to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands,

38
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:26,240
one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

39
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,580
If you commissioners, if you'll join me on the floor.

40
00:07:12,290 --> 00:07:13,350
Good morning everybody.

41
00:07:14,910 --> 00:07:21,470
So I will be presenting the Hispanic Heritage Month Proclamation on behalf of Madam CEO.

42
00:07:21,930 --> 00:07:25,830
And I believe we have our deputy director from the Mexican Council here.

43
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:29,890
So if everyone who was here for this Hispanic Heritage Month,

44
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:31,630
would like to start making your way forward.

45
00:07:31,630 --> 00:07:32,630
Okay, start

46
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,500
early marks. Good morning, everybody.

47
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:40,540
On behalf of the Cab County CEO,

48
00:07:40,540 --> 00:07:46,320
Lorraine Cochrane Johnson, welcome and thank you for joining us as we recognize the

49
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,560
extraordinary contributions of the Cab County's Hispanic and Latino communities.

50
00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:57,460
Although National Hesperic Heritage Month officially begins September 15, Madame CEO wanted

51
00:07:57,460 --> 00:08:03,500
to take this opportunity to celebrate a little early and recognize the community leaders

52
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:08,400
and partners who helped make the cab county such a bright vibrant and welcoming place.

53
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:17,340
Today we also honor Mexican Council Rafael Lavega for his outstanding leadership and

54
00:08:17,340 --> 00:08:19,240
partnership with the cab county.

55
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,220
We are pleased to welcome Deputy Council General Oswaldo A. Conto, who will accept this

56
00:08:25,220 --> 00:08:27,160
on the Council's behalf.

our communities.

67
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:16,740
Our Hispanic and Latino residents are in a central part of the Cap County's identity and

68
00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:17,100
future.

69
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:23,640
Their contributions continue to enrich our neighborhoods, strengthen our economy and shape

70
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,560
the county we are building together.

71
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:32,640
As CEO Cochran Johnson often reminds us we cannot reimagine the cab without recognizing

72
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,880
and celebrating the people who make the cab extraordinary.

73
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:42,260
On her behalf, it is my privilege to present this proclamation recognizing National Hispanic

Thank you.

118
00:14:52,290 --> 00:14:53,990
Great morning everyone.

119
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:59,970
It is indeed a great morning during National Black Business Month.

120
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:19,040
We had an opportunity not only to celebrate businesses but the people behind them. The people who took a chance, stepped out on faith, created opportunities, and then reached back to help others. Again, great morning. I have the pleasure to serve as your to cab county commissioner district three.

121
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:27,880
And I am here to celebrate Dr. Valencia Vow, Prince Littleton, because she is one of those

122
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,440
people that created opportunities here in the cab county.

123
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:40,580
Listen to this, for decades, Dr. Littleton has been an entrepreneur, an advocate and

124
00:15:40,580 --> 00:15:42,280
a servant to this community.

125
00:15:43,020 --> 00:15:48,960
She has built businesses, helped owners facing poor closure, vet families, provided toys,

126
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:58,500
the children and use her own experiences to advocate for others. She has consistently used

127
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:04,020
what she has built to strengthen families and to give back again to the communities around her.

128
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:10,020
This is the kind of entrepreneurship we want to recognize Indicab County. Businesses that create

129
00:16:10,020 --> 00:16:16,320
opportunity, leaders who invest in their neighborhoods and people who show the next generation

130
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:22,800
what is possible. And sometimes we all need to see what is possible. She already

131
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,320
all way down here. She's always a diva. I absolutely love my girl. I love it.

132
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,320
Yes, welcome.

133
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,780
Today, it is my privilege to recognize Dr. Valencia,

00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Vice-Littleton is a beacon of excellence during National Black Business Month and to thank

00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:57,080
her for the many years of leadership and service to the Cab County and District 3 and Memorial

136
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Drive and all throughout and I'm going to tell y'all those turn up greens are something you

137
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,680

138

This vow, congratulations, and thank you for continuing to serve our community.

139
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:15,520
Madam Clark, could you please read the Proclamation?

140
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,960
Whose life and career reflect a deep commitment to faith, entrepreneurship, service,

141
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,160
and the empowerment of others, and where as a graduate of South West High School and

142
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,620
Fort Valley State College, now Fort Valley State University, that's a little

143
00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:46,120
built a successful career in corporate America, before stepping out on faith in 1997, to pursue

144
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:52,760
her entrepreneurship and create opportunities for herself, her family, and her community.

145
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:59,240
And where is that the little bit has demonstrated the spirit of Black Entrepreneurship through

146
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:06,540
several successful dentures, including Price, Littleton, and Associates, Madea, Soul, Food, and

147
00:18:06,540 --> 00:18:08,420
talk of the town's soul food.

148
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,900
Establishing herself as a business woman, community leader, and role model for a sparring

149
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:22,340
aspiring entrepreneurs, and where is Dr. Littleton founded ACCS advocates in 2010, and

150
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:27,880
use her knowledge and experience to have thousands of homeowners facing financial hardship and

151
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,200
possible foreclosure.

152
00:18:29,820 --> 00:18:35,880
Welcome to working to have families preserve their homes, financial stability, and a critical

153
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:42,360
part of the American Dream. And whereas her commitment to the Cap County extends far beyond

154
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:48,480
business as she has devoted decades to serving families and children through faith based

155
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,220
outreach holiday assistance and annual Turkey giveaway that has distributed and estimated

156
00:18:54,220 --> 00:19:00,580
2,000 turkeys and a toy drive spanning more than two decades. And that's a little bit

157
00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:07,140
continues to use her life experiences to serve others, including becoming an advocate for Alzheimer's

158
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:13,360
awareness, after caring for her mother for nearly five years. And Dr. Belensia Valle,

159
00:19:13,740 --> 00:19:18,900
Price Littleton, embodies that tradition of excellence through her entrepreneurship spirit,

160
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:26,100
her commitment to the Cat County and her unwavering ability that success carries with it a responsibility

161
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:28,020
to lift others.

162
00:19:28,660 --> 00:19:34,180
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Commission and Nicole Messiah, and the DeCAP County Board

163
00:19:34,180 --> 00:19:41,020
of the Missioners and is more than 780,000 citizens, do year by-recognized Dr. Vale

164
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:47,380
Price Littleton for her outstanding contributions to DeCAP County, her decades of service to

165
00:19:47,380 --> 00:19:53,940
families and communities, and her example as a black entrepreneur, community role model, and

166
00:19:53,940 --> 00:19:59,960
The League of Excellence during National Black Business Month proclaim the 2050 at all.

167
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,220
That's twenty twenty six.

168
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,940
I don't want to welcome the family and friends of Ms. Bowel as a caller that

169
00:20:09,940 --> 00:20:14,320
come up front and come celebrate this moment along with her, please.

170
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:29,240
Well, good morning, good morning, good morning. I give on to God who's ahead of my life. To this

171
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:39,740
great county to this great border commissioners and our wonderful CEO of this county, the

172
00:20:39,740 --> 00:20:45,660

174
00:20:54,620 --> 00:21:02,360
honor to stand before you. I give honor to our previous commissioners, the oldest one living

175
00:21:04,980 --> 00:21:07,360
Commissioner John Evans,

00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:18,070
Bishop, who's behind me, Greg Adams, and his beautiful wife.

177
00:21:19,670 --> 00:21:25,090
And y'all know everybody know me, know I'm a bad, hard-large Johnson.

178
00:21:27,150 --> 00:21:34,870
My, my leader, my son, my daughter, my husband, my pastor, to each of you here.

179
00:21:34,870 --> 00:21:39,790
I will, I'm just a servant in the community trying to do better.

180
00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:45,590
I promise to continue to serve this great county.

181
00:21:48,130 --> 00:21:50,730
I just can't thank you enough.

182
00:21:51,330 --> 00:21:52,450
Commissroom aside.

183
00:21:54,490 --> 00:21:55,350
Where are you?

184
00:22:01,150 --> 00:22:05,110
And my sister, I love you, don't I love you?

185
00:22:06,330 --> 00:22:07,850
God bless each of you.

186
00:22:08,470 --> 00:22:09,470
Thank you very kindly.

187
00:22:09,470 --> 00:22:11,850
my pastor and it's done in fact they have video.

188
00:23:30,430 --> 00:23:32,730
Deputy Council, if you'd like to come back up, I'd love to give

189
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:18,230
you

190
00:24:52,020 --> 00:24:52,040
a

191
00:25:31,630 --> 00:25:33,810
The law and if you'd like to come up and get your pen as

192
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,800
well,

193
00:27:59,380 --> 00:28:03,820
thank you everybody, madam clerk, if you've read in the rules for comments from the public.

194
00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:14,320
The purpose of public comment is to allow the public to voice county related requests, concerns or opinions during the commission meeting.

195
00:28:14,900 --> 00:28:25,820
speakers will only have the opportunity for one public comment for meeting. Each speaker must please complete a speaker card and presented to the clerk before the beginning of the public comment portion of the meeting.

196
00:28:25,820 --> 00:28:29,960
Clark's turn into the clerk from the time the general meeting is convened.

197
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,620
Generally, 9 a.m. at the beginning of public comment portion,

198
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,540
generally following presentations on the agenda.

199
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,680
The clerk will accept cars on a first-computer-seared basis.

200
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,200
Proud to the clerk's call for public comments.

201
00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker's who are residents of the cab county,

202
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:50,000
shall be allowed to speak before residents of other counties are allowed to speak.

203
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:56,320
Speakers will be allowed to speak for three minutes each in public comment shall not exceed 30 minutes in length.

204
00:28:57,180 --> 00:29:02,440
When the buzzer sounds to indicate that time has run out, the speaker will be expected to immediately speak,

205
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:10,760
and to yield the podium. Those who submit his speaker cards, but did not speak because the retirement will be allowed to speak first

206
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,180
at the next regular office schedule commission meeting without regard to residents.

207
00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker should always talk directly to the microphone and begin by stating their name, full

208
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,100
address, and the name of the new organization they represent.

209
00:29:24,740 --> 00:29:30,420
Abusive, perfane, or drug-entering language, holding up signs, clapping, yelling, standing,

210
00:29:30,820 --> 00:29:35,900
delaying an ounce to show support for a opposition to a speaker, will not be permitted.

211
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:42,620
But a show of hands, a quietly standing in place, will be permitted to show support for

212
00:29:42,620 --> 00:29:45,660
opposition to a speaker's position.

213
00:29:47,910 --> 00:29:49,470
Thank you, man. Did we have speakers up

214
00:29:49,470 --> 00:29:55,850
over from the last meeting? Yes, man. We do. Thank you. Ronnie Mayor. Mr. Mayor,

215
00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:59,550
good morning sir. Good morning, Ronnie.

216
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,060
Twenty-six, fifty-three, redding road in the city of Brookhaven.

217
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:30,680
I woke up this morning, five o'clock, watch the news, and then my hero Ted Terry. I like your boozey shoes today, buddy, but you're going to be a commission. You got to wear some boozey shoes to them, redding. We'll tend to shoes. I think we have more issues in our county to worry about blowers or electric. So let's talk about that before you start voting on stuff.

218
00:30:32,460 --> 00:30:37,780
I got issues. I was so frustrated last week, but let's talk about it now. We have done

219
00:30:37,780 --> 00:30:45,900
housed in our county. There's a building at 85 and 25 to 0 hotel. This county needs to do

220
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:52,440
whatever it can to acquire that building. We could have the medical offices in the basement,

221
00:30:52,820 --> 00:30:59,660
psychiatrists, psychologists, it's on the bus line. It's near the grocery store. It would work so

222
00:30:59,660 --> 00:31:08,240
beautiful Michelle Spears. I love the commissioner for the Brookhaven Chamble area. I have

223
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,640
questions with unhoused every day and I call her on a cell and I bug heck I'll ever. But

224
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:20,160
she has helped me for many times. I want this county commission. Y'all talk and not listen

225
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:29,240
to me. We have been paying on a library bond for 25 years. This is the last year we're

226
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:37,720
on it. We still don't have a new library in Brookhaven. Somebody has stolen my six million dollars.

227
00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:46,200
We want it at what we call what the old is the VA hospital used to be. They did a stroll like

228
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:52,520
a road on it but the reason the people voted against it having it at what we call the dog park

229
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,040
is they didn't want the city manager from the city of Brookhaven

230
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,440
to have his hands on the old building.

231
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,960
The EPA, the county came forward to do the development of that old library.

232
00:32:05,660 --> 00:32:08,980
And we'd have to close it for a year and a half as we build it.

233
00:32:09,180 --> 00:32:12,840
If we build a new one at a park, it will work.

234
00:32:13,340 --> 00:32:17,440
Have a library at a park walk outside, read your book.

235
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,800
I was playing on reading books 25 years ago to my kids.

236
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:25,720
Now, my kids are having kids.

237
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,260
Twenty-five years we've been paying on this bond.

238
00:32:28,460 --> 00:32:30,240
God, y'all got to wake up.

239
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:33,560
Get your head out of the sand and let's get this thing done.

240
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,220
Let's get this new y'all a plan on doing a fire station at Johnson's Fair.

241
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,040
And that's for done when he, let's get this done.

242
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,080
And this thing with these cameras,

243
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,300
flots, cameras, I want to be on one of those boards.

244
00:32:49,860 --> 00:32:52,300
We have a lot of people who don't really want them,

245
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,020
but if somebody in their family gets raped or shot or murdered,

246
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,660
they're going to call police immediately and say,

247
00:32:58,940 --> 00:33:01,060
look on your cameras and tell me who killed somebody.

248
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,100
So we need to keep those cameras in the Cal.

249
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:05,840
Thank you, sir. Thank you.

250
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:07,320
Russell, I'm back in Tire.

251
00:33:07,620 --> 00:33:09,040
Miss McIntyre, good morning.

252
00:33:12,470 --> 00:33:14,470
Russell McIntyre, the cab county.

253
00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:32,010
Board of Commissioner members, the citizens of the CAB County demand that you honor and I quote that is governing authority of the CAB County is task with protecting the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the CAB County Georgia.

254
00:33:32,790 --> 00:33:43,810
Be very clear about this. The CAB citizens want a data center text amendment, specifically one that protects the health, safety and general welfare of the CAB citizens.

255
00:33:43,810 --> 00:33:51,050
We want a tax amendment that is written using data glean from a professional health and environmental impacts study.

256
00:33:51,710 --> 00:33:57,030
A major reason the previous tax amendments failed citizen approval was because they appear to be written

257
00:33:57,030 --> 00:34:03,110
to support specific vendors, not for the health safety and general welfare of the cap citizens.

258
00:34:03,670 --> 00:34:10,170
We implore you to approve and fund and independent third-party data center health and environmental impacts study,

259
00:34:10,170 --> 00:34:14,670
Only in the areas in which the proposed data centers will be constructed.

260
00:34:15,450 --> 00:34:22,990
Not a general study that includes all of the cab county which would dilute and skew the results of the communities that will be affected.

261
00:34:23,770 --> 00:34:34,070
The moratorium was extended to March 30, 2027 to provide sufficient time to allow for further study to gain factual information to write an appropriate text amendment.

262
00:34:34,910 --> 00:34:41,130
Communities who saw legal action after the fact to protect public health from AI data centers

263
00:34:41,130 --> 00:34:47,270
include low Massachusetts. The court issued a state to halt the installation of massive

264
00:34:47,270 --> 00:34:55,850
industrial diesel backup generators, Canton, Mississippi, an Amazon AI data center open and

265
00:34:55,850 --> 00:34:59,970
and it's quickly reported, acute long irritation, respiratory distress.

266
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,960
However, as in pervasive construction does,

267
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,860
the public outrage triggered a class action lawsuit

268
00:35:06,860 --> 00:35:15,180
alleging clean water acts violations. Memphis 10 is C. The EPA stepped in against the X-A-I facility,

269
00:35:15,740 --> 00:35:22,120
because of toxic air caused by methane gas turbines. An increase in health problems and deaths,

270
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:28,840
Memphis City officials, commission an independent laboratory study. We are asking that a cab water

271
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,420
Commission is to be proactive in ordering an independent third party health and environmental

272
00:35:33,420 --> 00:35:38,400
impacts study during this moratorium to get the data and information that should be employed

273
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,800
to guide their decisions and to write an appropriate text amendment that will protect the

274
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,060
health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the camp counting.

275
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,600
A task that a camp counting board of commissioners has been sworn to provide to people

276
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,620
whom they represent and serve.

277
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,260
Thank you, ma'am.

278
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:00,900
Good morning.

279
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:05,840
Good morning.

280
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,120
Good morning.

281
00:36:06,460 --> 00:36:06,580
Good morning.

282
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:06,620
Good morning.

283
00:36:06,620 --> 00:36:12,780
My name is Lane Flynn and I live at 3127 Blerodrive Commission District 1 Super Commission District 7.

284
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:17,100
I'm here today with one simple request and the flock contract.

285
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:21,240
This contract was put in place with zero public input or comment.

286
00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:24,100
Since we weren't asked in advance, I'll share our opinion now.

287
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:25,620
We hate the surveillance networks.

288
00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:29,860
It's easy to prove, just look at any article anywhere talking about flock.

289
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:33,800
You'll see it gets hundreds, thousands of comments, they're virtually all negative.

290
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:34,800
Why?

291
00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:39,620
Because contrary to flock marketing claims, the system absolutely does crack everybody.

292
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,400
That is, it's basic design.

293
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,160
Anyone in this room who drives by a flock vehicle camera will have their vehicle recorded

294
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:51,100
in log and anyone who walks by a flock con-door camera will be recorded and logged themselves.

295
00:36:51,100 --> 00:37:02,220
It's not just one scan, but the fact that this info is then uploaded to a flock AI database which maintains a comprehensive record of everywhere you've gone and when and even who you're with.

296
00:37:02,580 --> 00:37:13,840
This isn't just a snapshot in time. It's hundreds of scans per month creating a comprehensive constantly updated map of your entire life accessible at any time by anyone with access to the system.

297
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:23,580
We know for a fact the system cracks innocent people, because dozens, if not hundreds of police officers nationwide, have been caught using the system to track innocent people.

298
00:37:23,980 --> 00:37:28,860
As I'm sure you all know, just a few weeks ago, eight the cab officers were caught illicitly using the system.

299
00:37:28,860 --> 00:37:34,600
week before that, it was a sheriff's deputy, make it Savannah Habersham Brazzleton, all over

300
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,580
Georgia and the U.S. the abuses are nonstop and they're only increasing. And it's

301
00:37:39,580 --> 00:37:43,680
not just illegal searches, numerous innocent people have been dragged out of their cars

302
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,980
at gunpoint or even jail because flock made mistakes. It's been used to target people for

303
00:37:48,980 --> 00:37:53,760
their political beliefs, which is terrifying because DeCab has deployed mobile flock units

304
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:59,120
to political protests. A whistleblower who used to work for flock has documented that surveillance

305
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,720
data has been shared with ICE for immigration enforcement even from departments that didn't

306
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:09,180
agree to that shared. The misuse of this dangerous and unregulated system is perhaps going

307
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:13,960
to be the biggest police scandal in U.S. history if it's not already. The cab frankly can't

308
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:20,040
afford to lose any officers and I'm not here because I want them fire. I'm pro-police. Instead,

309
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:25,300
I want to see the system shut down not just to protect our citizens, but to avoid the obvious

310
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:30,060
temptation for otherwise good cops to commit serious crimes just because we've made it

311
00:38:30,060 --> 00:38:32,200
incredibly easy for them to do so.

312
00:38:32,820 --> 00:38:37,060
Oh, and on top of all that, FBI staff showed that over the past four years when Atlanta

313
00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:41,800
installed war-flock cameras in anywhere else in the world, crime didn't even fall, in fact

314
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,220
it rose in some categories.

315
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:49,200
Flock wants you to focus on anecdotes, but serious policy has to be based on data and the data

316
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,340
show that flock isn't even helping solve crimes.

317
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:56,420
Over 100 municipalities have ended their flock contract after seeing for themselves the level

318
00:38:56,420 --> 00:39:00,620
of abuse, the lack of impact on crime statistics and the massive public opposition.

319
00:39:01,260 --> 00:39:05,140
I'm just asking the commission to do what all those cities and towns have already done.

320
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,440
Listen to their citizens, protect both the public and the officers of cab and terminate

321
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:10,240
the flock contract.

322
00:39:10,540 --> 00:39:11,180
Thank you.

323
00:39:11,180 --> 00:39:15,500
Lee Taylor, Lee Taylor, are you here?

324
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:16,520
All right, good morning.

325
00:39:18,220 --> 00:39:18,740
Good morning.

326
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:19,880
I'm Lee Taylor.

327
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,540
I'm at 1865 Mercedes Court,

328
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:27,700
and I'm here as a member of the Greater Towers Community Association.

329
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:32,880
First things first, there are grants I understand.

330
00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:34,220
There might be purbuteification.

331
00:39:34,460 --> 00:39:38,340
Once as it's urban area, security initiative,

332
00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:45,560
another for high intensity drug trafficking. If you could just take the microcosm of greater

333
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:52,680
towers community association in 303-2. If you want to apply some grant money and see it at work

334
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:59,180
with good stewardship, initiative, and some empowerment behind it, it's good place to start.

335
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:27,840
Kind of got the idea in my head was when I first heard in January, this year called the Glenwood Sweep, and I heard about it, sounded like it could be done as a multi-departmental, amazing effort to put rules and standards in place that might could be enforced over a period of time, sounded good, but as I understand here in August, there is no such thing right now as an active initiative for a Glenwood Sweep.

336
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:37,360
So, why a Glenwood sweet? Well, if it can be done empathetically for the people involved and done with some rules and standards for the commercial owners,

337
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,920
it seemed like a really good place to start into Cap County Glenwood.

338
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:51,080
I'll bring it back to a street in Medinale, part of the Greater Towers Community Association.

339
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,300
It's called Lark Spartares.

340
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,400
It's two streets north of Blindwood.

341
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,900
And over a period of the past few months,

342
00:41:00,540 --> 00:41:02,300
there's been so many cases of vandalism,

343
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,820
so many cases of vagrancy, so many cases of squatting,

344
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,360
so many cases of gosh, we've had just terrible

345
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,320
reckless driving on that one little street,

346
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,120
including the loss of a male carrier

347
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,920
to a reckless driver in that street.

348
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,740
Now, all that grant money and all that sounds

349
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:24,240
like a good thing to put in place and it might have stopped some crime, it might have stopped

350
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:30,080
something, but at least start, right, at least start and back up what you say you're going to do.

351
00:41:31,420 --> 00:41:37,920
So, I want to end this with a little bit about the worst residential neighbor in the country

352
00:41:38,740 --> 00:41:43,820
is a matter of fact, the worst residential neighbor in the cab county and their name is invitation homes.

353
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:50,280
In the past two years, they've sold over 400 houses in this county.

354
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,760
They sold off their inventory.

355
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,720
They've gotten rid of it, and they didn't in such a sloppy, disconnected way.

356
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,600
They've just watched Price go down.

357
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:06,240
Their version of Price Discovery on a spreadsheet is the worst example of what neighbors are like.

358
00:42:06,460 --> 00:42:10,100
If something could be done at your level to bring them in the check,

359
00:42:10,460 --> 00:42:12,840
they've only got about 80 houses on the market left,

360
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,400
and I think they want to get rid of it all here in this county.

361
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,060
Let's do some about invitation homes to get a mile to hear as quick as possible.

362
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:21,240
Thank you, sir.

363
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:22,540
Kia, I'm a more.

364
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,480
Good morning. My name is Kiana Jones,

365
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,120
more resident of district three,

366
00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:36,540
and I can care with the previous speaker regarding invitation homes.

367
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,280
I happen to live in one of their homes,

368
00:42:38,660 --> 00:42:42,860
and I've lived in one of their homes since they were ex-calibur homes,

369
00:42:42,860 --> 00:42:46,940
and they were the cause of a lot of

370
00:42:46,940 --> 00:42:48,180
houseless neighbors.

371
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,900
Today, I have on two shirts, and the first one that I'm wearing on top

372
00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:57,140
is all about supporting our unhoused neighbors.

373
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,820
Our unhoused neighbors need services, not shackles.

374
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,420
They need community, not cages.

375
00:43:04,180 --> 00:43:07,260
And so I'm here to speak against the urban camping ordinance

376
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:09,440
that has been introduced, because it is reckless.

377
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:16,440
it is compassionless, it's stupid, because people who don't have a place to live and make sure

378
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,860
you get my good side, because all of me is good, commissioner, Messiah, household for

379
00:43:20,860 --> 00:43:22,520
morking and mature view.

380
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:28,080
However, as I stated, we need community and not cages.

381
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:33,500
The services that we offer here in the cab county are not comprehensive enough to make sure that

382
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:37,120
we completely remedy our issue of unhoused individuals.

383
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:51,380
We are making some strides. We need to do more. We need to really look holistically at how it is that we work with compassion with sympathy with empathy with people who don't have a place to live.

384
00:43:51,780 --> 00:44:05,260
Deciding to piggyback off of useless legislation introduced by the city of Atlanta because they want to capitulate to Trump is not governance. This is not legislation. It's not helpful for the community.

385
00:44:06,260 --> 00:44:13,540
Perhaps, if you had taken the time to really talk to people about issues of houselessness,

386
00:44:13,940 --> 00:44:20,540
what drives it, look at the root causes, and think about getting resources into communities

387
00:44:20,540 --> 00:44:25,080
that don't leave people without a home, you could have been doing that before you decided

388
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,740
to do your was that no, no, no, it's written a call, I got a note for you to go.

389
00:44:30,140 --> 00:44:37,440
It would have been so much more helpful if you had come along during the count that happens

390
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:42,860
early in the year when we go to hot spots where unhoused people are because you wouldn't

391
00:44:42,860 --> 00:44:43,620
there.

392
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,160
I was though.

393
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:49,600
You didn't know what people were dealing with.

394
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:56,920
Maybe you're too busy, black-handed, and given not money right now at the end look good before

395
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:57,920
the end of your time.

396
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,960
But this just wasn't

397
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:29,420
And I hate it to be a personal attack on you because it's not an attack on you as a person. It's about you as a commissioner, who is supposed to represent people, because a lot of the people who are unhoused are right in district three, it's disappointing and it's sad. And we want to see more. We want to see better. Without trying to deflect, put something on somebody else, talk about the deferral.

398
00:45:30,620 --> 00:45:33,940
introduced it and it just wasn't okay. Thank you, Ms.

399
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:36,380
John, don't worry.

400
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,820
Ms. Donaway, I believe she's not here today.

401
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,760
She's in the email telling that she wouldn't be here.

402
00:45:42,900 --> 00:45:43,880
It's the next speaker.

403
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,240
Hannah Davis.

404
00:45:45,420 --> 00:45:46,420
Hannah Davis.

405
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,560
We're still on from last meeting, right?

406
00:45:49,780 --> 00:45:50,240
All right.

407
00:45:50,540 --> 00:45:51,120
I'll see you in the state.

408
00:45:52,060 --> 00:45:53,400
Richie and I've Roberts.

409
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:54,640
Richie and I've Roberts.

410
00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:58,200
Do not see you then.

411
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,900
Stephen Benny, Mr. Benny. Good morning.

412
00:46:18,050 --> 00:46:21,050
Good morning, commissioners. Not so many years ago

413
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:25,850
when evil blackhearted hawk flew over to Cab County and left the dark dark shadow

414
00:46:25,850 --> 00:46:32,330
over all of us. King Thurman welcomed the hawk. Listen to the hawk and made a landswap

415
00:46:32,330 --> 00:46:37,850
deal with the blackhearted hawk. After the landswap, the shadow was going to add more studio

416
00:46:37,850 --> 00:46:45,110
boxes to the land but then the movie industry faded away and in 2023 shadow box studios decided

417
00:46:45,110 --> 00:46:51,570
they wanted to build a data center instead without filing an official zoning request. They talked

418
00:46:51,570 --> 00:46:57,170
with planning about classifying data centers under communication use. They sent lobbyists from

419
00:46:57,170 --> 00:47:02,470
Texas to talk to two decayed county commissioners about how they could get this done without

420
00:47:02,470 --> 00:47:07,650
permission they started building their data center and now have filed a 30 million dollar lawsuit

421
00:47:07,850 --> 00:47:14,550
to bully the cab county into letting them do so. How did this happen? As always, let's follow the money.

422
00:47:15,110 --> 00:47:22,630
On March 31st, 2025, Shadowbox Studio gave a $1,000 contribution to Commissioner Robert Patrick.

423
00:47:23,210 --> 00:47:31,950
The address given for the donation was 335 Epington Drive. Remember this address, it will not be the last time you hear it.

424
00:47:31,950 --> 00:47:40,370
On February 26th, 2025, a Mr. John Bean from 335 that been to drive made a $3300 contribution

425
00:47:40,370 --> 00:47:48,310
to Mr. Patrick's campaign fund. Mr. Bean also made a contribution of $3300 on January 26th,

426
00:47:49,230 --> 00:47:55,570
2023, and the person named Julia Cruz well from 335 that been to drive made an additional contribution

427
00:47:55,570 --> 00:48:02,990
of $3,300, also on June 26, 2023, that there's $11,000 in list in two years.

428
00:48:03,370 --> 00:48:06,410
How much access does $11,000 allow someone?

429
00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:09,510
Shadowbox Studios is not even in your district.

430
00:48:10,070 --> 00:48:13,010
Happy to drive Northwest is not even into Camp County.

431
00:48:13,730 --> 00:48:19,730
Commissioner Marita Davis Johnson received a $3,300 campaign contribution from a Mr.

432
00:48:19,730 --> 00:48:29,810
John B. On May 20th, 2024. The address was 333 up in Dendrive. On May 22nd, 2024, an additional

433
00:48:29,810 --> 00:48:39,790
contribution of $258.32 was made by Mr. John B. How much access does $3,600 buy or do

434
00:48:39,790 --> 00:48:45,310
you just work cheaper than Mr. Patrick? Is Shadowbox studios in your district? How about

435
00:48:45,310 --> 00:48:51,450
step into drive, even Commissioner Nicole Messiah received the $3,300 campaign contribution

436
00:48:51,450 --> 00:48:59,110
for Mr. John Bean on October 8, 2024, followed by a contribution of $1,800 on November

437
00:48:59,110 --> 00:49:04,510
18, 2024 by the same person for a total of $1,500.

438
00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:10,030
Seems as Ole Miss Messiah was playing both sides of the data center game with our favorite

439
00:49:10,030 --> 00:49:16,870
racist con man Ryan Milsef and shadow box studios and total that is nearly $20,000 a shadow box

440
00:49:16,870 --> 00:49:21,930
studios has contributed to three to cap kind of commissioners did they do this out of the goodness

441
00:49:21,930 --> 00:49:26,690
of the heart. Thank you, Mr. Benny. Mrs. Magnum.

442
00:49:27,810 --> 00:49:30,170
Mr. Siddigan, Mr. Magnum.

443
00:49:30,390 --> 00:49:33,650
Jean-Maine, good morning, Mr. Magnum.

444
00:49:37,230 --> 00:49:37,870
Well,

445
00:49:45,020 --> 00:49:55,900
good morning. Most members of the Board of Commissioners quickly commented on the unanimous decision to deny the data center text amendment as proposed in June.

446
00:49:55,900 --> 00:49:58,600
The question is, what happens next?

447
00:49:59,160 --> 00:49:59,960
Thankfully, that's...

448
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,400
It's not a hard decision to make. Our presiding officer, Commissioner Shakira Johnson stated,

449
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:13,160
I remain committed to working collaboratively, collaboratively toward policies that appropriately

450
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:20,000
balance economic development, technological advancement, neighborhood preservation, infrastructure

451
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,600
demands, and quality of life. Commissioner Long's fear said, this vote reflects the

452
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:32,780
their commitment to ensure that all decisions are guided by sound analysis, meaningful public

453
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:38,540
input, and a clear understanding of the impacts of our communities.

454
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:45,340
Commissioner Baltimore, denying the text amendment brings several important benefits, a

455
00:50:45,340 --> 00:50:51,940
stronger case for extending the moratorium, a clean slate to restart the process with transparency

456
00:50:51,940 --> 00:50:54,260
and meaningful community input.

457
00:50:54,260 --> 00:51:10,140
An opportunity to explore other options allowing us to evaluate alternative approaches, gather additional data, and work collaboratively, toward a framework that better aligns with community priorities.

458
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,860
These are wonderful words, but actions speak louder than words.

459
00:51:15,860 --> 00:51:20,360
The data center moratorium has been extended until the end of next

460
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,620
March based on the need for more studies, and that's a good thing.

461
00:51:25,300 --> 00:51:26,520
Now the path is clear.

462
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,480
The Pets Committee deferred a vote again on the health and

463
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,780
environmental impact study because Commissioner Long's

464
00:51:35,780 --> 00:51:37,140
fears was not present.

465
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,660
Yet, she made a strong case for approval at the last

466
00:51:41,660 --> 00:51:43,320
regular BOC meeting.

467
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:50,240
Now I respect the fact that you wanted to wait for her, but I believe she made her position

468
00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:51,740
clear at the last meeting.

469
00:51:52,340 --> 00:51:56,360
This item has been on the BOC agenda since last March.

470
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:01,180
We have sent a list of providers to BOC Chief of Staff as requested.

471
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,420
There is no reason for further delay.

472
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,960
It's time for the BOC to commission the study.

473
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:16,100
We must also defend the shadow box lawsuit to keep them a moratorium in place, but when interviewed Commissioner

474
00:52:16,100 --> 00:52:23,700
Messiah was already suggesting settlement, we say no. Defend the people, not the developers,

475
00:52:24,180 --> 00:52:27,760
stand by your decisions, and stand up for us.

476
00:52:30,050 --> 00:52:31,550
Thank you, ma'am.

477
00:52:31,950 --> 00:52:33,490
Jeremy's story.

478
00:52:33,630 --> 00:52:36,990
Jeremy's story is against that caused what today.

479
00:52:36,990 --> 00:52:44,430
this is today's conference. Mr. Story, please come forward. Good morning.

480
00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:59,080
Good morning everybody.

481
00:53:02,170 --> 00:53:07,190
Good morning everybody. My name is Tony Washington and I serve as the Fire Chief for the City of

482
00:53:07,190 --> 00:53:16,530
Decatur Fire Rescue Department. On behalf of the City of Decatur Mayor Tony Powers, we would like to thank you for honoring

483
00:53:16,530 --> 00:53:19,450
Captain Gary Monarch this morning.

484
00:53:20,290 --> 00:53:23,290
Captain Monarch represented compassion

485
00:53:23,290 --> 00:53:24,890
and his choice form.

486
00:53:25,390 --> 00:53:27,590
He led with kindness and treated everyone

487
00:53:27,590 --> 00:53:31,630
with respect and carried a deep concern for people

488
00:53:31,630 --> 00:53:33,310
and he served those.

489
00:53:33,730 --> 00:53:46,510
He served alongside his legacy will live on with the continued support.

490
00:53:46,530 --> 00:53:57,650
of Chief Melvin Carter, Director Fullham, the City of Decade of Fire Rescue and the programs

491
00:53:58,270 --> 00:53:59,850
that we have served.

492
00:54:00,230 --> 00:54:08,110
We deeply miss Captain Manard and I know he worked alongside of Commissioner Spears with

493
00:54:08,110 --> 00:54:11,650
the Unhoused in several community programs.

494
00:54:11,650 --> 00:54:23,110
He truly reminded us that command presence wasn't only leadership, but it was being

495
00:54:23,110 --> 00:54:28,670
present and being there for everyone. And we truly appreciate you honor and

496
00:54:28,670 --> 00:54:34,530
him. He just fell of well. It would have been his birthday on last Tuesday. And we

497
00:54:34,530 --> 00:54:39,430
really, really miss him. And we deeply appreciate all the partnerships with the

498
00:54:39,430 --> 00:54:47,730
County and city educator and honor and his memory and his legacy and his continued support.

499
00:54:47,790 --> 00:54:51,910
As we continue to serve everyone in the communities of the city

500
00:54:51,910 --> 00:54:54,910
indicator in the cab county. Thank you so much.

501
00:54:57,700 --> 00:54:58,660
Brim the pace.

502
00:54:59,080 --> 00:54:59,680
Thank you.

503
00:55:05,010 --> 00:55:34,990
Good morning, everyone. Good morning, Ms. Pooce. My name is Brenda Pays. I'm going to sit us in the tax pair and whatever you want to call it here in the cab county for 50 years, proud of, sometimes, not often, though. Okay, so many things I want to address need, I'm asking the commissioners in the CEO and anyone else to take a stop and look and listen. Okay, nothing is happening in South to cab outside of your public, everybody knows about it.

504
00:55:35,010 --> 00:55:44,570
of that. We need to look at how cold has to work with these businesses all up and down,

505
00:55:44,770 --> 00:55:52,410
can't of row, Glenwood, Memorial, everywhere. They're pieces of nothing. The cold just

506
00:55:52,410 --> 00:55:56,770
has to keep coming back, coming back. The courts are getting full, full with their documents,

507
00:55:57,130 --> 00:56:02,570
their documents with the same thing over and over. We need to look at taking business license

508
00:56:02,570 --> 00:56:08,370
from these businesses and it allows them to do businesses in the care county, especially in

509
00:56:08,370 --> 00:56:12,970
South Dakota, and then we can have some room in space to put something that would be a

510
00:56:12,970 --> 00:56:21,010
lot better economically in our community. Okay, we need to do this immediately. Okay, and I am

511
00:56:21,010 --> 00:56:29,490
pleading this case to the care county and the CEO, secondly, contractors. Contractors should not

512
00:56:29,490 --> 00:56:34,270
get in contracts and it's in the charter. If you haven't read the charter and I'm sure some

513
00:56:34,270 --> 00:56:40,750
of you haven't, okay? Read it because it says that when he cut body that gets a contract

514
00:56:40,750 --> 00:56:46,390
in the cab county, supposed to put 20% of the people that live in the cab county. You talk about

515
00:56:46,390 --> 00:56:51,050
the young men in our communities and the crime and everything. Well you tell me I have to work

516
00:56:51,050 --> 00:56:55,710
at McDonald's, I probably do the same thing, okay? For that little money and then when Georgia

517
00:56:55,710 --> 00:56:59,310
is only $7 per hour or less.

518
00:56:59,970 --> 00:57:00,150
OK.

519
00:57:00,910 --> 00:57:01,210
Five?

520
00:57:01,710 --> 00:57:02,590
Well, it's still in it.

521
00:57:02,930 --> 00:57:03,130
Whatever.

522
00:57:03,690 --> 00:57:05,050
It's seven isn't enough, OK?

523
00:57:05,650 --> 00:57:09,190
So we need to look at hiring, making these contractors

524
00:57:10,310 --> 00:57:13,450
hire, and train some of our men to do this.

525
00:57:13,450 --> 00:57:15,490
It happened once when Burrell Ellis was here.

526
00:57:15,650 --> 00:57:18,490
And I was the one who edited, and it happened, and it worked.

527
00:57:18,570 --> 00:57:20,150
And I don't want to hear anybody else,

528
00:57:20,210 --> 00:57:22,710
because I've already from up above CEO said it

529
00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:25,470
when I took it to her saying, oh, no.

530
00:57:25,470 --> 00:57:28,270
That won't work. I said, why won't it work?"

531
00:57:28,270 --> 00:57:30,950
And she said, because of the training, that's the crap.

532
00:57:31,590 --> 00:57:33,590
Okay? That's an excuse. Storage.

533
00:57:34,150 --> 00:57:40,230
Landlords and renders and relatives need to be made to pay

534
00:57:40,230 --> 00:57:43,910
and put their peoples, their tenants, the whatever they're doing,

535
00:57:44,150 --> 00:57:48,790
in storage bins, and not on our streets where it gets stowed everywhere.

536
00:57:49,090 --> 00:57:52,030
Then you call and code and raise them hell, okay?

537
00:57:52,310 --> 00:57:54,250
That's not the good thing at all, okay?

538
00:57:54,250 --> 00:58:03,430
So you need to look at that Houston, they do that and it's very clean there. You're not allowed to dump people stuff on the street, that needs to be said.

539
00:58:04,670 --> 00:58:05,150
Secondly,

540
00:58:08,070 --> 00:58:11,230
somebody needs to look at the garbage collection again. Sanitate.

541
00:58:11,250 --> 00:58:12,890
Thank you, Ms. Page. Thank you.

542
00:58:13,130 --> 00:58:14,730
I'll catch you next time. Thank you.

543
00:58:15,350 --> 00:58:15,830
Thank you.

544
00:58:15,830 --> 00:58:16,110
Thank you.

545
00:58:16,490 --> 00:58:16,910
Thank you.

546
00:58:17,710 --> 00:58:18,350
Good morning.

547
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:22,820
Good morning.

548
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:23,460
Thank you.

549
00:58:23,460 --> 00:58:30,700
My name is Akila McDaniel, and I reside at 3823 Austin Park Lane, indicator for more than

550
00:58:30,700 --> 00:58:31,760
10 years.

551
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:38,160
I'm speaking in my personal capacity as a resident, a housing stability professional, a public

552
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,680
policy and real estate student, and someone would live experience in housing instability.

553
00:58:43,580 --> 00:58:52,100
I respectfully ask the board to defer ordinance 2026-05504 substantial revision and collaborative

554
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:58,060
of stakeholder review. I recognize that the county has a legitimate responsibility to keep

555
00:58:58,060 --> 00:59:04,540
sidewalks, parks, businesses, and public infrastructure safe and accessible. However, we must

556
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:09,680
distinguish between conduct that creates an actional public safety obstruction and the condition

557
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:14,240
of having nowhere else to go. Through my work supporting families, experience, and homelessness,

558
00:59:14,940 --> 00:59:19,780
my policy research and my only experience, I have learned that homelessness is not simply a matter

559
00:59:19,780 --> 00:59:26,440
of refusing services. People often face shelter shortages, coordinated entry, weightless, documentation

560
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:32,560
requirements, income verification barriers, limited affordable units, prior evictions, and

561
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:38,340
landlords unwilling to accept available assistance. A warning and verbal offer of services are

562
00:59:38,340 --> 00:59:43,980
not meaningful protections if transportation, appropriate shelter, storage or an actual housing

563
00:59:43,980 --> 00:59:50,740
pathway is unavailable. Refusing an option does not accommodate a family, that does not accommodate

564
00:59:50,740 --> 00:59:55,840
a family, their disability, unemployment schedule, belongings or other legitimate needs should

565
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,980
not automatically placed someone on a pathway towards a risk.

566
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,740
The proposed ordinance raised a serious implementation question. What written protocol will

567
01:00:06,740 --> 01:00:12,660
govern enforcement? What qualifies as a meaningful offer of services? How would a county verify that appropriate

568
01:00:12,660 --> 01:00:17,960
shelters actually even available? How would personal property, identification, medication,

569
01:00:18,260 --> 01:00:23,420
and documents protected and reclaimed? What agency will track these outcomes and assure that people

570
01:00:23,420 --> 01:00:29,140
are being connected to services rather than merely displaced to another location? These questions matter

571
01:00:29,140 --> 01:00:34,060
because losing identification and court documents, medication, or contact with the case manager

572
01:00:34,060 --> 01:00:37,520
can make an already difficult housing placement even more challenging.

573
01:00:38,300 --> 01:00:43,420
The county's previously adopted policy calls for diversion, coordinated assistance,

574
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,480
wraparound services, and alternatives to arrests.

575
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,860
This new ordinance to strengthen that commitment not create big and potentially contradict

576
01:00:51,860 --> 01:00:53,500
the rate enforcement practices.

577
01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:57,520
before adoption, I asked the board to require a written enforcement,

578
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,060
property storage protocols, documented service capacity,

579
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:06,580
measurable diversion outcomes, and direct participation from service provider

580
01:01:06,580 --> 01:01:08,220
and residents would live experience.

581
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,420
I will welcome the opportunity to participate in a stakeholder review process

582
01:01:12,420 --> 01:01:15,420
and contribute both my leave and professional experience.

583
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:20,360
Please defer ordinance 20260550 until those protections

584
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:25,980
and accountability measures. I clearly minister establish. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am.

585
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:32,400
Last card is Neville, like, teaser, metal, and teaser. There she is. Good morning.

586
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:41,840
Good morning, Natalie Kaiser. I live in District 3. I'm a 12-year resident of DeCab County.

587
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:48,500
I'm here today representing House ATL and DeCab housing roundtable to similarly speak against

588
01:01:48,500 --> 01:01:55,140
the prior ordinance. Homelessness is a housing problem and not a failure of enforcement.

589
01:01:56,500 --> 01:02:01,280
Your prior resolution, we want to commend to approach homelessness through the housing

590
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:07,200
first approach and to work to develop a coordinated plan for the unhoused, those are proven

591
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:12,800
best practices. The current ordinance before you is not. It is inconsistent with that approach.

592
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:19,540
Rents and the CAB County have increased about 30% over the past five years much faster than income

593
01:02:19,540 --> 01:02:27,700
have grown, which is resulted in more than 50% of the CAB County Render's being housing cost burdened.

594
01:02:27,700 --> 01:02:36,160
Research from the U.S. Government Accountability Office shows that for every $100 increase in rent results in a 9% increase in homelessness.

595
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:41,860
To prevent homelessness, we need to stay focused on increasing housing opportunities and

596
01:02:41,860 --> 01:02:42,360
options.

597
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:48,200
Arresting and jailing people who are homeless for trying to survive can worsen rather

598
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:54,260
than solve unsheltered homelessness, arrest records create barriers to housing.

599
01:02:55,600 --> 01:03:02,720
The arrest as previously noted by the prior speaker, arrest also result in the loss of important

600
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:08,540
identification documents, social security cards, medical prescriptions, and this also makes

601
01:03:08,540 --> 01:03:10,500
finding future housing very difficult.

602
01:03:11,380 --> 01:03:17,400
Jailing people for being homeless waste taxpayer dollars, public costs are incurred when

603
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:22,160
law enforcement make the arrest and costs grow as the individual is incarcerated.

604
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:27,620
Cab County Sheriff Maddox has already told us that the cab county has already stated

605
01:03:27,620 --> 01:03:32,580
that the cab county commission that the jail is overcrowded, with few resources to address

606
01:03:32,580 --> 01:03:35,400
potential mental health and substance abuse issues.

607
01:03:36,020 --> 01:03:39,760
Tax funds are wasted without resulting in a long-term solution.

608
01:03:40,420 --> 01:03:43,520
The daily cost to house at the DeCab County Jails

609
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:50,560
approximately $1,150, or a monthly cost of $3,450 to $4,500.

610
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,020
This is less than the cost of a studio apartment into CAB County,

611
01:03:56,220 --> 01:04:00,300
which is approximately $1,400 to $1,500 a month.

612
01:04:00,300 --> 01:04:09,040
Once the person's time is served in jail, the individual is returned to the street, still in unhoused at a waste of taxpayer dollars.

613
01:04:09,900 --> 01:04:16,100
Nationally, the development of ordinances like this are being bankrolled by a tech billionaire named Joe Longstale,

614
01:04:16,500 --> 01:04:19,120
who created a think tank called the Cicero Institute.

615
01:04:19,580 --> 01:04:27,140
I think you should be aware that there are 10 plate ordinances being circulated around the country from the Cicero Institute.

616
01:04:27,140 --> 01:04:34,840
These ordinances encourage incarceration rather than housing and services, we should not be part of this handcuffs trend.

617
01:04:35,300 --> 01:04:37,160
I respectfully urge you to move forward.

618
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:38,300
Not backwards.

619
01:04:39,060 --> 01:04:39,640
Thank you.

620
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:39,920
Thank you.

621
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:50,380
Madam President Officer, I'd like to make a motion to extend public comment by 15 minutes.

622
01:04:50,380 --> 01:04:52,240
Is there a second?

623
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:53,480
Sorry.

624
01:04:55,770 --> 01:04:58,110
Would you like us to hit our buttons or show a hand?

625
01:04:58,550 --> 01:04:59,050
Alan Fayne?

626
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,540
I mean, more speakers, madam clerks,

627
01:05:19,430 --> 01:05:23,310
nine, for the nine speakers, nine,

628
01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:27,980
50 minutes, I refer to page

629
01:05:27,980 --> 01:05:32,640
agenda. There's a motion in a second. There's a motion was 15 minutes, is that correct?

630
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:40,860
Yes, ma'am. Call the question, all in favour of 15 minutes. All opposed to 15 minutes.

631
01:05:42,300 --> 01:05:45,260
These are all turning to emotion.

632
01:05:47,910 --> 01:05:51,450
Motion to extend public comment by 10 minutes.

633
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,260
We're now in the motion for 10 minutes.

634
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,340
And secondly, if I can mention our answer,

635
01:06:02,700 --> 01:06:04,620
we'll call the question.

636
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,460
Public favor with any public comment.

637
01:06:11,310 --> 01:06:14,920
That's the all opposed at this point.

638
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,800
Motion to extend public comment by two speakers.

639
01:06:27,140 --> 01:06:30,720
I'd like to make a substitute motion.

640
01:06:31,500 --> 01:06:36,780
Motion to begin working on our 42-page agenda.

641
01:06:45,860 --> 01:07:09,440
I just want to recognize that we had, so the issue with the limit of the public comment on is that not everyone was a speak and so then they get put to the next meeting and then people come to this meeting get delayed for the next meeting because the previous speakers we heard that we had four

642
01:07:10,540 --> 01:07:18,120
the last meeting, so the very least, I think we should just catch up, so if we could just

643
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:24,980
extend public comment, you know, for a few this time, maybe a few more next time, maybe we'll

644
01:07:24,980 --> 01:07:29,920
get caught up, maybe we need to amend our rules to allow a little more public comment,

645
01:07:30,220 --> 01:07:35,080
I don't know where are other jurisdictions that have unlimited comment, but others just

646
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:41,180
It's recognized that sometimes people, especially into cab where our public comments are at 9AM.

647
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:47,020
So some people probably got up work or maybe told their boss, I got an important

648
01:07:47,020 --> 01:07:50,040
to this morning, because I can't come to work or they have other responsibilities.

649
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:57,700
So out of respect for our tax paying citizens, our voters, the people who we represent,

650
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,080
they came down here to talk to us for three minutes.

651
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,680
We should give them a little extra time to do that.

652
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,860
We only come down here once a week.

653
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,160
All of us are paid by the people who are out there in the audience.

654
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:18,320
And the least we could do is create some time for them

655
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:19,600
to let us know what they're thinking.

656
01:08:20,480 --> 01:08:21,140
I think that's reasonable.

657
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,240
So hopefully we can just maybe have a few more speakers.

658
01:08:25,780 --> 01:08:27,440
I think two's reasonable for now.

659
01:08:27,440 --> 01:08:34,160
We don't have enough of those for 15 minutes or 10 minutes, but if we can just get maybe two more speakers, I think that'd be great.

660
01:08:34,540 --> 01:08:35,440
Thank you.

661
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:37,260
Mr. Walls, please.

662
01:08:37,700 --> 01:08:38,980
Thank you, Madam Presiding Officer.

663
01:08:39,540 --> 01:08:47,160
It was brought to my attention during public comment that we had a speaker who attended the last business meeting,

664
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:51,940
submitted a card, and was not called today to speak.

665
01:08:51,940 --> 01:09:00,700
The error was discovered and the clerk quickly responded and added the speaker to the list so she did have an opportunity to speak.

666
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:17,560
So just wanted to point out to the commissioners that I don't know if anybody else in the audience submitted a speaker card last needy and you are not, you didn't have the opportunity last meeting or this meeting to speak, but I do believe that's an issue that we need to address.

667
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:35,920
Because I think that this is our opportunity for the public to communicate their concerns, their priorities with this board and to Commissioner Terry's point, we do only meet twice a month for a business meeting and offer that opportunity for public comment.

668
01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:40,600
Now obviously during zoning meetings, we also have public comment opportunities as well.

669
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:52,360
But I do believe that this board does need to know that there was an error made, and a speaker from the last meeting was not called until we quickly discovered it during public comment today.

670
01:09:52,480 --> 01:09:58,560
Thank you Madam Clerk for resolving the issue and making sure this individual was able to speak. You'll back.

671
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:06,740
Thank you. I'm seeing no further requests to speak the alternative motion. Black Commissioner Patrick was to

672
01:10:06,740 --> 01:10:12,880
can not have its kind of kind of paraphrase. It was to not have the motion that

673
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,520
is residing office for which to begin. To what's speaking agenda, that was the motion.

674
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:24,460
Seconded by, I think it was dueling second. So it was Marida, David Johnson, and Nicole

675
01:10:24,460 --> 01:10:29,100
Messiah. So it's called the question, who is ready to start our business meeting.

676
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,100
who is against starting the business.

677
01:10:36,130 --> 01:10:37,270
That's the motion, sir.

678
01:10:37,670 --> 01:10:37,970
I'm sorry.

679
01:10:40,780 --> 01:10:41,720
Thank you so much.

680
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,900
Madam providing an officer and requesting a point of privilege, please.

681
01:10:46,380 --> 01:10:49,840
And I can tell you why, number of requests at the law department, please come forward.

682
01:10:50,820 --> 01:10:51,440
Sure, ma'am.

683
01:10:51,540 --> 01:10:52,620
Thank you.

684
01:10:54,260 --> 01:11:02,920
We had a decap County employee today request to speak during public comment

685
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:12,480
as her capacity as a resident, not as a staff member or an employee of the Board of Commissioners.

686
01:11:13,380 --> 01:11:23,320
I don't agree with the denial of her right to speak as a citizen of this community.

687
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:30,020
So if our interim, which is a little longer, county attorney would please come forward and please

688
01:11:30,020 --> 01:11:37,960
finalness. If you are not comfortable providing a full analysis in our opinion today, it is

689
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:43,620
something I would request a memo on as well. But again, I fully believe that every single member

690
01:11:43,620 --> 01:11:49,820
of this community, whether you're an employee, current or past or future of the Cab County,

691
01:11:50,020 --> 01:11:56,060
is a resident and gets an opportunity to speak publicly to their decision makers.

692
01:12:01,480 --> 01:12:06,180
Thank you very much and can you do that before the next business meeting?

693
01:12:06,340 --> 01:12:08,480
We'll try to get it to you all before the next business.

694
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:09,720
Fantastic, thank you.

695
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:10,800
Interim attorney Phillips.

696
01:12:10,980 --> 01:12:15,300
I would also like to know who denied that request because it did not come from the presenting officer.

697
01:12:15,620 --> 01:12:16,440
I would like to know that.

698
01:12:16,740 --> 01:12:17,320
Thank you.

699
01:12:17,480 --> 01:12:18,040
We see.

700
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:19,260
And commission.

701
01:12:19,620 --> 01:12:20,540
Would you want that publicly?

702
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,200
I'm fine with the public because it didn't come from me.

703
01:12:23,340 --> 01:12:24,940
It was just a stab actually.

704
01:12:24,940 --> 01:12:27,120
I did not come from you.

705
01:12:27,340 --> 01:12:29,080
If I may, I'd like to help us.

706
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:37,260
I received a request to look at public comment and participation by residents who happen to be employees

707
01:12:37,770 --> 01:12:43,860
and how it was denied today, the factual background and commissioners expressed.

708
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,340
We asked for a opinion about what our rules are on that.

709
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,380
So we will address that for you privately.

710
01:12:50,980 --> 01:12:55,500
and we can do a private or public and then if we could also look at the car and if

711
01:12:55,500 --> 01:13:00,260
she was speaking for herself or trying to circumvent a decision that was made earlier

712
01:13:00,260 --> 01:13:02,500
in the day that would be great too. Thank you.

713
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:03,840
In term of turning pillars.

714
01:13:04,220 --> 01:13:04,460
We see.

715
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:06,740
Commissioner Misai, you have requested to speak.

716
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,300
Are you considered your time commissioner long swears?

717
01:13:10,580 --> 01:13:13,000
Um, actually I could just expand on that briefly.

718
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,420
Um, so just to give a little context around it,

719
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:23,380
Captain Gary Minard was a personal, he passed away, but still is a personal friend of many

720
01:13:23,380 --> 01:13:24,860
of us in this room.

721
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:29,000
And so many folks from the cater came today to honor his memory.

722
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:34,580
His birthday was last week, and we miss him dearly, he did so much for the unhoused, so much

723
01:13:34,580 --> 01:13:36,740
for the residents of the city of the cater.

724
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:43,120
We did have myself who wanted a point of privilege, you did decline that, that was fine.

725
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:59,140
Prior to my requesting that, we did have an employee of the Cad County who also wanted to honor his memory, and that was denied by a member of a leadership member of the Board of Commissioners.

726
01:13:59,140 --> 01:14:08,800
Again, I fully state that every single resident of this county, whether you are currently

727
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:15,040
working for the Board of Commissioners or not, should have the opportunity to address

728
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:16,280
your leadership.

729
01:14:17,020 --> 01:14:24,660
And I just fundamentally disagree with this individual being denied the opportunity to express

730
01:14:24,660 --> 01:14:32,040
her thoughts to express her sorrow over the loss of a valued member of our community and

731
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:33,200
I yield back.

732
01:14:33,580 --> 01:14:36,080
Thank you so much, Madame Brio.

733
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:42,980
I just want to say that we've had employees, past, and present that have even gotten a chance

734
01:14:42,980 --> 01:14:44,380
to speak today.

735
01:14:44,580 --> 01:14:47,040
Ms. Moore is our Jones Moore.

736
01:14:47,340 --> 01:14:53,260
She is a past employee of the cab county and had an opportunity to speak today.

737
01:14:53,260 --> 01:14:59,960
So the idea that you don't allow, or a leadership does not allow, and play easy.

738
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:11,420
The speech is grossly false. Also, I will say that it makes it a little bit easier for us to get to our agenda and get to our work.

739
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:28,920
When there isn't political play where individuals send out emails, commissioners send out emails, with false narratives, without links to the agenda items, where people don't even sit and watch.

740
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:31,840
This is not your main to this data share.

741
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:33,140
It did not mean not to mean it.

742
01:15:33,140 --> 01:15:35,700
Actually with a rhyme going to do a point at order.

743
01:15:36,060 --> 01:15:39,780
We are not even on an agenda item to have discussion at this moment.

744
01:15:40,580 --> 01:15:43,580
We just say we were not going to allow the public to speak.

745
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,300
So why should I allow both of you commissioners to apply?

746
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,940
So if we can please start our public hearing and get to the business of the county,

747
01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:54,800
which is what we are here to do today.

748
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,440
Madam Clerk, if you please read in the instructions for the public hearing.

749
01:16:00,440 --> 01:16:01,400
Citizens

750
01:16:05,660 --> 01:16:14,320
may speak for, against an item that is considered by law to be a zoning ordinance and each side will have 10 minutes to present its case.

751
01:16:14,940 --> 01:16:21,720
Citizens may also speak for, against an item that is placed on a public hearing agenda, but it's not a zoning ordinance.

752
01:16:22,220 --> 01:16:26,000
In that case, each side will have five minutes to present its case.

753
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,300
In the end, there is more than one sticker per side.

754
01:16:29,580 --> 01:16:34,400
Stickers must divide their time in order to complete their full presentation within the

755
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,840
ten minute time-alotment or the five minute time-alotment.

756
01:16:38,100 --> 01:16:42,860
When the buzzer sounds to indicate that time has run out, the speaker would be expected to

757
01:16:42,860 --> 01:16:46,100
immediately see speaking at the Lithopodian area.

758
01:16:46,740 --> 01:16:51,180
Perhaps speaking, a sticker should complete a sticker for an representative when approaching

759
01:16:51,180 --> 01:16:51,760
the podium.

760
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:57,160
If the speaker has any documents for the commissioners, the speaker shall provide two copies

761
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:58,500
when approaching the podium.

762
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:03,780
Seven copies of the commissioners and the remaining copies of the plan and director, the

763
01:17:03,780 --> 01:17:08,760
county attorney and the clerk, and all zoning ordinance and traffic common cases.

764
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:14,500
Staff shall make their recommendation for action to the commissioners, followed by applicants

765
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:17,040
of citizens speaking in favour of the item.

766
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:22,820
Applicants in zoning ordinance cases should have the right to deserve time for rebuttal.

767
01:17:23,140 --> 01:17:26,800
Opponents of the zoning ordinance, I'm sure I have no right of rebuttal.

768
01:17:27,420 --> 01:17:32,560
For all other items placed on the public hearing agenda, applicants are citizens speaking

769
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:37,260
and payment the items should speak first, followed by opponents of the item.

770
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:41,700
Whilst the citizens have finished speaking, staff should make a recommendation,

771
01:17:43,100 --> 01:17:44,880
recommendation for action to the commission.

772
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:51,020
At this point, citizens are no longer about to speak a miscloth to the podium by an individual

773
01:17:51,020 --> 01:17:54,520
commissioner to answer questions that provide information.

774
01:17:55,420 --> 01:17:59,800
Speakers should always talk to Beckley to the microphone and begin by stating their name,

775
01:18:00,060 --> 01:18:06,380
address, and the name of the New Organization, they represent a abusive, profaner to a language

776
01:18:06,380 --> 01:18:07,420
who will not be permitted.

777
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:13,940
Holding up signs, clapping, yelling, standing on lay in the aisles to show support for,

778
01:18:13,940 --> 01:18:26,800
opposition to a speaker will not be permitted, but a show of hands of Congress standing in place will be permitted to show support for a opposition to a speaker's decision.

779
01:18:27,820 --> 01:18:35,540
Thank you Madam Clerk. We have one item for public hearing. I will read that one and the next item is decision only and at that time I will pass the

780
01:18:35,540 --> 01:18:43,620
For the first item, it is 2026-0941, excuse me, all commission districts, homeroordinates

781
01:18:43,620 --> 01:18:49,960
to amend the pension code of the Cap County Georgia 1962, Georgia lost 3088, as a

782
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:55,060
minute, amended to add a death benefit for beneficiaries of certain plan participants

783
01:18:55,060 --> 01:19:00,440
who die in the line of duty as officers and police or deputies of the Cap County on

784
01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:06,960
after October 1st, 2026 to confirm that no participant can add replace or remove a designated

785
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:12,960
joint and new attempt after payment of pension benefits begins and to revive for compliance

786
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,800
with certain updates for two federal tax law. Good morning, sir.

787
01:19:19,020 --> 01:19:19,920
Good morning, Madam

788
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:26,720
Presiding Officer. This would be the second reading in final adoption and as you stated,

789
01:19:27,380 --> 01:19:29,780
Commissioners, this would cover all employees.

790
01:19:30,300 --> 01:19:31,960
They would become immediately eligible.

791
01:19:32,380 --> 01:19:34,540
Their family members and the event of a death,

792
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:38,240
an employee who dies on the job in the courts

793
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:39,380
and scope of their employment.

794
01:19:39,780 --> 01:19:42,320
It also provides a maximum pinching benefit

795
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,340
for the beneficiary at the time of their death.

796
01:19:45,340 --> 01:19:47,760
It does not require seven-year vessel.

797
01:19:48,140 --> 01:19:49,820
That's important to know.

798
01:19:50,460 --> 01:19:54,840
As you mentioned, it also adds a provision where you cannot

799
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:59,800
to join a militant after you retire, and that is specifically

800
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,100
We're delighted to fund more comments for the play.

801
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:05,440
And staff recommendation?

802
01:20:06,500 --> 01:20:07,820
Staff recommendation is to approve.

803
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,640
Thank you so much, and this is public hearing.

804
01:20:10,820 --> 01:20:14,280
Sir, is anyone in the audience who was here to speak in favor of this item?

805
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,220
Is there anyone in the audience to speak in favor of this item?

806
01:20:22,910 --> 01:20:26,630
Seeing no one, is there anyone here to speak in opposition of this item?

807
01:20:28,980 --> 01:20:31,840
Anyone in opposition of this item?

808
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,500
All right, Mr. Sir, if you will come back and give staff recommendation.

809
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,440
Thank you, Madam President Officer.

810
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,120
Recommendation to approve.

811
01:20:42,660 --> 01:20:43,640
Thank you, Attorney Johnson.

812
01:20:44,020 --> 01:20:51,680
Commissioners, I would just clarify it's a motion to approve the June 15th, 2026 version on setting

813
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:52,540
Green Day.

814
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:54,620
Thank you, is there a motion?

815
01:21:01,150 --> 01:21:06,590
Thank you, Madam President Officer. On behalf of the Earth Committee, I do move to approve

816
01:21:06,590 --> 01:21:10,290
the June 15th version on the second reading.

817
01:21:10,790 --> 01:21:11,850
Is there a second?

818
01:21:12,390 --> 01:21:12,590
Second.

819
01:21:13,250 --> 01:21:14,450
Thank you, future Booter.

820
01:21:15,230 --> 01:21:17,970
Commissioner Bolton, you have a request for the speaker before me?

821
01:21:18,450 --> 01:21:21,770
Yes, ma'am, I do just want to make sure we acknowledge

822
01:21:22,310 --> 01:21:25,430
considering some of the comments that were made earlier today

823
01:21:25,430 --> 01:21:28,730
with respect to the Decatur Chief Officer Rose,

824
01:21:28,730 --> 01:21:33,270
Firefighter Plant, those who were killed or did die

825
01:21:33,270 --> 01:21:40,690
the line of duty. This ordinance, this new ordinance was birthed out of some of those situations

826
01:21:40,690 --> 01:21:47,850
that had occurred this year. And we would be honored if to approve is to honor, but if the

827
01:21:47,850 --> 01:21:53,390
board would support moving this item forward, as we honor those that were honored this morning

828
01:21:53,390 --> 01:21:59,690
during public comment, and I yield back. Thank you, Commissioner Bolton. I see no further requests to

829
01:21:59,690 --> 01:22:01,550
Please open the machine for the vote.

830
01:22:09,690 --> 01:22:13,570
I want them sent in because Commission of Davis Johnson cannot vote on pension items.

831
01:22:14,170 --> 01:22:14,750
Motion carries.

832
01:22:14,950 --> 01:22:15,910
Thank you so much.

833
01:22:16,730 --> 01:22:19,910
At this time, I will pass the gavel for the next item.

834
01:22:21,030 --> 01:22:22,470
The next agenda item.

835
01:22:22,850 --> 01:22:24,210
And is it a decision only?

836
01:22:24,410 --> 01:22:25,490
Two zero cube six,

837
01:22:25,790 --> 01:22:32,730
two zero seven one two commission districts four and seven application are booted in Christ Academy LLC.

838
01:22:32,730 --> 01:22:39,750
care of Decita Strucks, Stokes, for a special land use permit for a child daycare facility

839
01:22:39,750 --> 01:22:46,390
for up to up to six children, and the R100 residential medium, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot

840
01:22:46,390 --> 01:22:54,410
of 70 district, at 67-06 Princeton Park Trail. Great morning, deputy planner. Good morning,

841
01:22:54,670 --> 01:23:00,050
commissioners, Rachel Bragg, deputy director of planning. So the applicant requests a

842
01:23:00,050 --> 01:23:05,630
to operate a daycare facility for up to six children with an existing single-family residence

843
01:23:05,630 --> 01:23:12,630
at 6706 Princeton Park Trail, which is owned R100. The proposed use is limited in scale

844
01:23:12,630 --> 01:23:20,150
and is proposed with an existing single-family residence and no expansion is proposed. However,

845
01:23:20,270 --> 01:23:25,910
the supplemental regulations regarding child daycare facilities within the zone in order

846
01:23:25,910 --> 01:23:31,550
state that no child day care facility shall be located within 1,000 feet of another child

847
01:23:31,550 --> 01:23:38,890
day care facility and staff has identified and existing child care facility within 300 feet

848
01:23:38,890 --> 01:23:44,010
of the subject property. Therefore, based on the submitted materials, interdepartmental comments,

849
01:23:44,430 --> 01:23:55,890
community meeting record and staff's finding that the proposed facility does not comply with

850
01:23:55,890 --> 01:24:06,770
I recommend to my all of this application. Thank you so much. Seeing this decision only there's not a public hearing element to it and we have a motion and a second.

851
01:24:06,810 --> 01:24:10,150
The motion is to for our full cycle deferral.

852
01:24:10,970 --> 01:24:16,790
Second, we have a proper first and second and a request to speak by Commissioner Bolton.

853
01:24:19,940 --> 01:24:25,000
Apologies, we'll just need to clarify that deferral, because we're already out of the cycle.

854
01:24:26,180 --> 01:24:33,220
So in order for it to go, so a full cycle generally means you're going to community council planning commission and the Board of Commissioners,

855
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,460
but the community councils for this cycle have already occurred.

856
01:24:37,260 --> 01:24:43,180
So it could go to, well, and the planning commission is set for September 1st.

857
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,160
So those staff reports and everything are already finalized.

858
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:47,900
So there's a type of free need here.

859
01:24:47,900 --> 01:24:49,580
My question is related to that.

860
01:24:51,480 --> 01:24:59,960
And my question is where was community council and planning commission made aware of the 300 feet distance prior to the...

861
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:14,280
There are recommendations for approval. So I think we found that we found that additional facility after community council, but prior to planning commission. So planning commission was a where community council was on aware.

862
01:25:14,820 --> 01:25:19,860
And I'm sorry, really quickly. Can you get a speaking time on the board just really briefly?

863
01:25:19,860 --> 01:25:23,200
Well, I haven't been acknowledged yet.

864
01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:28,720
I was just addressing what she was bringing up.

865
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:29,440
Just not again.

866
01:25:30,980 --> 01:25:31,560
But

867
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,500
I may not need to once you respond.

868
01:25:39,300 --> 01:25:39,800
You ready?

869
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:41,900
I think she's looking for it.

870
01:25:42,860 --> 01:25:43,580
So, yes.

871
01:25:43,740 --> 01:25:46,660
So, both Community Council and Planning Commission recommended the approval

872
01:25:46,660 --> 01:25:47,400
with conditions.

873
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:51,340
Community Council was unaware of the distance.

874
01:25:51,340 --> 01:25:54,700
issue plan and commission was aware of the decision.

875
01:25:56,160 --> 01:26:12,120
Okay, and one of the reasons I am supporting and I understand what you say, but prior to what you say, one of the reasons I was supporting a full cycle is to get that feedback from community council knowing that they were not made aware.

876
01:26:16,440 --> 01:26:24,240
So you could, if you want to give me if you want some options, you could sell send it back to community council, it would just be heard and October.

877
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:29,960
So it would go to Community Council in October and then come back to you for a vote in November.

878
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,660
So then would that technically be a two cycle for the firm?

879
01:26:35,220 --> 01:26:42,000
I would rather just refer to it as just as Community Council in October and Board of Commissioners in November.

880
01:26:42,300 --> 01:26:45,120
I will take that friendly amendment to my motion.

881
01:26:47,140 --> 01:26:48,580
Is your second still saying?

882
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,640
My second stands and I still had a question.

883
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:53,280
Another question.

884
01:26:54,060 --> 01:27:23,740
So my other question was, and this has occurred before, I think on the same agenda where there is a state approved facility within that thousand-foot difference or a thousand-foot radius, and because that happened with this application as well, I would like to take this time since we have that deferral to do some research to determine

885
01:27:23,740 --> 01:27:30,080
how they are state certified, but they're not approved through the county and how that impacts

886
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:39,600
our capacity to make a confirmatory decision based on that distance regulation in our code.

887
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:46,320
Because that's a major determining factor for both this and the other one, but I'd like us

888
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,460
to get a little bit more information about how that has occurred.

889
01:27:50,660 --> 01:27:54,200
So we can absolutely do some additional research.

890
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:59,100
I don't believe that the state requires local approval before they

891
01:27:59,100 --> 01:28:00,440
approve, essentially.

892
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:10,000
So with that being said, for me, the way our code reads, there might be a bit of ambiguity,

893
01:28:10,260 --> 01:28:16,160
because if they're not registered with the county, do we still consider them with respect to that

894
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:19,400
1,000-foot distance requirement.

895
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:25,780
Sure, so, because up to three, you know, we wouldn't normally know they existed.

896
01:28:25,980 --> 01:28:31,060
And with these, we didn't initially know they existed because they're not registered with

897
01:28:31,060 --> 01:28:31,560
the county.

898
01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:32,980
It was happenstance.

899
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:34,960
So up to three,

900
01:28:49,660 --> 01:28:53,540
we'll take your deferral recommendation and do some additional research

901
01:28:53,540 --> 01:28:54,600
and follow back up with you.

902
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:56,300
Okay, thank you so much.

903
01:28:56,620 --> 01:28:57,300
I'll go back.

904
01:28:57,860 --> 01:28:58,780
Thank you so much.

905
01:28:58,780 --> 01:29:01,620
Can we should have both in our any other questions?

906
01:29:03,180 --> 01:29:04,800
We open the machines up for a vote, please.

907
01:29:14,270 --> 01:29:15,690
That motion passes.

908
01:29:16,350 --> 01:29:18,370
Thank you so much.

909
01:29:18,610 --> 01:29:20,130
I appreciate your assistance on that.

910
01:29:20,990 --> 01:29:23,710
That concludes our public hearing and zoning items.

911
01:29:23,990 --> 01:29:27,810
We're now top of page four under there are no items under appeal.

912
01:29:28,010 --> 01:29:30,670

1149
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:22,280
Motion to approve carries.

1157
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:04,360
Motion to Approve, 2020, 6, 10, 30.

1158
01:47:04,880 --> 01:47:05,480
Thank you.

1159
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:06,900
Second.

1160
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:09,620
Seconded by Commissioner Terry, you've ever requested a speech, sir.

1161
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:10,140
You have four.

1162
01:47:10,580 --> 01:47:12,080
Yes, very quickly.

1163
01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:18,240
We just wanted to acknowledge at the PWI committee meeting we discussed with CEO Williams about

1164
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:24,980
getting him update on the other contract for managing the existing renewable energy.

1165
01:47:25,340 --> 01:47:28,440
So I think did you say it was going to come back on October with that?

1166
01:47:28,620 --> 01:47:29,760
It was a timeline on that update.

1167
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:32,500
I believe that was exciting.

1168
01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:39,240
I believe October was our commitment, but we would work with the Chair of PWI and we're looking

1169
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:44,400
to do a really comprehensive discussion on how we're managing the methane and how it felt

1170
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:45,140
landfill.

1171
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:54,120
And then, just remind me again, because we proved that contract was at three years ago

1172
01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:54,980
at this point.

1173
01:47:56,680 --> 01:48:01,340
So hopefully, when we come back October, we could have kind of, I don't know if it's like a

1174
01:48:01,340 --> 01:48:02,480
go or no go decision.

1175
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:03,980
We certainly have a status point.

1176
01:48:04,100 --> 01:48:09,220
Because I know that the contract, I guess, I don't think it's extended or how

1177
01:48:09,220 --> 01:48:14,740
we manage that, but at some point, if we're not collecting the gas, we're sort of missing out

1178
01:48:14,740 --> 01:48:16,460
on millions of dollars of revenue.

1179
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:21,240
If you're speaking about the renewable energy facility, but we have a couple of contracts,

1180
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:23,500
and we'll be on your stress, all of them.

1181
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:24,380
Yeah, that's right.

1182
01:48:24,540 --> 01:48:24,720
Okay.

1183
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:25,500
Thank you.

1184
01:48:25,620 --> 01:48:26,940
Thank you, Commissioner Terry.

1185
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:29,540
Please open the machine for the vote.

1186
01:48:29,540 --> 01:48:30,800

1224
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:48,920
I am 2026-1114, 1117, and 1153, and then I also want to make note that we did have some

1225
01:51:48,920 --> 01:52:00,280
conversation at PWI, about 114. There was some discussion on the hate as well as the herbicides

1226
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:07,860
and reminder to central staff as well as to the chief executive that we'd like to have this

1227
01:52:07,860 --> 01:52:12,840
discussion back at PWI so that we can address some of the questions that were raised during the meeting.

1228
01:52:13,340 --> 01:52:13,780
Thank you, Sarah.

1229
01:52:13,980 --> 01:52:16,940
Commissioner Charry has seconded and requested to speak here before.

1230
01:52:17,500 --> 01:52:21,400
Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, Commissioner Patrick is correct.

1231
01:52:21,820 --> 01:52:37,840
We did discuss the herbicide treatment, but I think it also ended up the conversation about having a tour of a

1232
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:44,480
the most to your district. It is a countywide facility, but a really special place and quite beautiful

1233
01:52:44,480 --> 01:52:52,680
actually with 300 acres of grassland. I think another 200 acres of forest buffer. So I appreciate

1234
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:57,440
that Mr. Chair. And then I did want to just in case anyone from the public was following along.

1235
01:52:58,380 --> 01:53:03,940
The agenda hadn't been updated from the special call meeting. So it says they were recommended for

01:53:03,940 --> 01:53:07,880
holding, but we did record an approval, as you said, so especially for meeting held yesterday.

Motion to approve carries. We are now top of page, middle of page 13.

1292
01:56:59,190 --> 01:57:03,650
Motion to defer to the September 15th BSE to be heard in PEX.

1293
01:57:04,390 --> 01:57:08,250

01:57:08,550 --> 01:57:11,830
Thank you so much. Please open machine for vote to

1295

1300

01:57:44,230 --> 01:57:47,250
seeing a request to speak is open machine for the low

1302
01:57:51,030 --> 01:57:52,270
and to approve carries.

1303
01:57:53,110 --> 01:57:57,810
Item 2026-1183 all commission districts United States

01:58:02,430 --> 01:58:07,750
Yes, motion to defer to the September 15 B of C with a prior stop at PWA.

1306
01:58:09,660 --> 01:58:10,320
Thank you, sir.

1307
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:11,740
Second please.

1308
01:58:12,480 --> 01:58:13,300
Thank you.

1309
01:58:13,480 --> 01:58:17,500
Before we vote, if I remember Mr. Chair on this item, there is a dollar amount over

1310
01:58:17,500 --> 01:58:19,040
the three million for the county.

1311
01:58:20,620 --> 01:58:21,060
Yes.

1312
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,180
If we could get the dollar amount in the title, that would be helpful.

1313
01:58:26,130 --> 01:58:28,090
If we open the tune for the vote,

1314
01:58:33,070 --> 01:58:34,550
motion to defer carries.

1315
01:58:34,550 --> 01:58:56,950
And then we are now on top of page 14, item for items for decision by the board, kind of board of commissioners, item 2026-1234, all commission district to amend previously adopted agenda, item 2025-0240 with an updated resolution to establish independence, the IP Monitor roles and responsibilities.

1316
01:58:59,230 --> 01:59:02,510
Yes, for purposes of discussion motion to approve.

1317
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:09,100
Seconded by Commissioner Terry and that was motion to approve.

1318
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:10,180
That's correct.

1319
01:59:14,430 --> 01:59:15,670
You hit your button to request this.

1320
01:59:16,150 --> 01:59:17,170
Thank you.

1321
01:59:17,870 --> 01:59:19,310
Thank you, Madam Presiding Officer.

1322
01:59:19,690 --> 01:59:22,770
So we had a discussion yesterday about the CIP monitor.

1323
01:59:22,970 --> 01:59:29,410
Of course this is a position or a person that would come in and provide independent advice.

1324
01:59:29,490 --> 01:59:36,050
I think is the right way to frame it of what's happening with the CIP projects.

1325
01:59:36,050 --> 01:59:38,990
and this relates to water and sewer and particular at this time.

1326
01:59:40,110 --> 01:59:41,430
I think there was a good discussion.

1327
01:59:41,790 --> 01:59:43,710
Unfortunately, Commissioner Terry left it a little bit early,

1328
01:59:44,150 --> 01:59:47,530
so I could suggest it at the meeting that because it was only two commissioners.

1329
01:59:47,690 --> 01:59:50,910
Myself in the presiding officer that had recommended this to move forward

1330
01:59:50,910 --> 01:59:56,070
that we acknowledge that we do need to have

1331
01:59:56,070 --> 01:59:59,170
some other stakeholders weigh in and perhaps have a conversation.

1332
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:28,100
If necessary, although I did make the motion to approve, you know, I would be receptive to the idea of perhaps having either a cow that speaks to specifically to this, or have a special called PWI that would be convenient to all the commissioners where we could have everybody at the table and have sort of the different questions be asked and make sure that expectations for the individual commissioners meets the intent that we had when we first put this idea together. And with that, I will yield back my time.

1333
02:00:28,100 --> 02:00:51,940
All right, and thank you, yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Sorry I had a little early at another meeting, but I did review the packet that central staff put together, so I'm comfortable with, you know, the updates and changes, so I was there. I would have joined you in.

1334
02:00:51,940 --> 02:00:58,920
I don't know, no shame cast, just I know we get busy and special calls, things that pop up unanticipatedly.

1335
02:00:59,120 --> 02:01:00,260
So thank you commissioner.

1336
02:01:00,480 --> 02:01:01,180
Thank you.

1337
02:01:01,180 --> 02:01:01,280
Thank you.

1338
02:01:01,400 --> 02:01:02,400
Commissioner Bolton.

1339
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:08,280
I didn't get to attend that special call.

1340
02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:13,220
I was hoping that the meeting I did attend you guys would have been able to speak about it.

1341
02:01:13,400 --> 02:01:20,600
I did send an email reply on August 19 with some of the questions and concerns that I had.

1342
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:24,960
had did you guys get an opportunity to discuss some of the commissioner's concerns?

1343
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:30,980
So we did not, and I'm glad you mentioned that we were sort of bumping up against time constraints yesterday.

1344
02:01:32,420 --> 02:01:37,260
So again, the committee, the two of us, like what we saw, I guess we've also heard Commissioner Terry said he was

1345
02:01:37,260 --> 02:01:46,200
relatively comfortable with what he was there, but this is a big discussion item, and it might be appropriate to say

1346
02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:50,360
was bring it back to the cow or bring it back to a special called and have those questions

1347
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:59,320
answered as well. Okay. It was a couple things I wouldn't like to discuss them but I wouldn't

1348
02:01:59,320 --> 02:02:04,620
say there are anything that could be a major hold-up but depending on how the conversation

1349
02:02:04,620 --> 02:02:14,520
goes, commissioners may feel the same. So I don't have a problem with supporting the majority's

1350
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:22,600
decision but I did have some concerns that I did want to discuss and to that point we need

1351
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:28,460
to get this right and so I think if there are concerns even if a small minor questions

1352
02:02:28,460 --> 02:02:31,080
I think it's worth taking the time for the conversation.

1353
02:02:36,820 --> 02:02:36,840
Okay.

1354
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:41,920
Do you, you're a commissioner told me you saw a, I'm sorry, ma'am yes, I yield back.

1355
02:02:41,920 --> 02:02:42,940
Commissioner Ms. Smith.

1356
02:02:42,940 --> 02:03:11,040
Yes, and I think Cal will be great, just to give a little to central terms of the opportunity to hear some of those concerns and address the same if we can have those and if you're

1357
02:03:11,040 --> 02:03:15,540
to commissioners who would kind of, you still want to move forward, but still have a

1358
02:03:15,540 --> 02:03:15,900
presentation.

1359
02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:18,500
Yes, in County, I don't mind, but I'm going to move forward.

1360
02:03:19,260 --> 02:03:19,460
Okay.

1361
02:03:20,100 --> 02:03:21,300
I will just call them.

1362
02:03:21,380 --> 02:03:22,040
We're ready to vote.

1363
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:26,020
Um, well, I'll tell you what, you know, one of the things I realized we didn't, we usually

1364
02:03:26,020 --> 02:03:29,800
go through a checklist of questions and I just wanted to, like, if I could call on the

1365
02:03:29,800 --> 02:03:31,560
newly minted county attorney,

1366
02:03:34,580 --> 02:03:38,520
this is just a true, your phrase, true to form, your office

1367
02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:43,000
has had a chance to review this and, and, uh, is that correct?

1368
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:44,300
We were saying yesterday.

1369
02:03:45,580 --> 02:03:46,780
We might not re-chastry it.

1370
02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:50,080
We're just going to be the central staff to go over it.

1371
02:03:50,620 --> 02:03:50,640
OK.

1372
02:03:50,640 --> 02:03:52,120
I'm going to address anything else to address.

1373
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:52,700
OK.

1374
02:03:54,060 --> 02:03:58,960
Again, because they need to get this right, I'd like to change my motion to a motion

1375
02:03:58,960 --> 02:03:59,580
to defer.

1376
02:04:00,780 --> 02:04:05,300
I would suggest to the next cow with that appropriate amount of presiding officer.

1377
02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:08,800
That way all commissioners can be present for the conversation,

1378
02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:11,940
but that is my modified motion.

1379
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:15,000
That's just your circumstance, Mr. Chair.

1380
02:04:15,220 --> 02:04:16,780
Okay, second stance, all right.

1381
02:04:17,340 --> 02:04:20,340
Mr. Davis Johnson has requested us to speak.

1382
02:04:23,070 --> 02:04:24,530
Yeah, just briefly.

1383
02:04:26,110 --> 02:04:30,090
And of course, I'm glad that this is kind of to the point

1384
02:04:30,610 --> 02:04:34,290
where we are now, that was extensive conversation

1385
02:04:34,290 --> 02:04:40,610
when I first introduced this, we spoke with athletes,

1386
02:04:40,610 --> 02:04:52,130
It's called legal, it's called all the commissioners on it, and so we have this form, and I'm glad

1387
02:04:52,130 --> 02:04:59,950
and so I think that any questions that any of us have hopefully, it can be...

1388
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:13,900
We address in the, hopefully, can be addressed in the cow meeting, because we're like eight months out, seven months out.

1389
02:05:14,620 --> 02:05:20,460
And so we need to start monitoring what's happening. So thank you all.

1390
02:05:20,840 --> 02:05:24,800
Thank you commissioner Davis Johnson. Please open the machine for the vote.

1391
02:05:26,850 --> 02:05:28,970
Well, we need to, we need a certain date.

1392
02:05:29,250 --> 02:05:30,450
So when is the next count?

1393
02:05:31,110 --> 02:05:32,390
And is that?

1394
02:05:41,900 --> 02:05:45,100
So deferred to September 15th would be the voting meeting.

1395
02:05:45,940 --> 02:05:46,780
With the stop account.

1396
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:49,760
If we could defer that.

1397
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:51,320
Oh, you're going to miss one of those.

1398
02:05:51,520 --> 02:05:52,580
Missing a couple meetings.

1399
02:05:56,340 --> 02:06:00,680
Could we defer it to the September 29th,

1400
02:06:00,740 --> 02:06:01,700
B.O.C.

1401
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:07,120
and then have it at the, I think, at the 22nd count?

1402
02:06:07,120 --> 02:06:10,050
All right.

1403
02:06:22,820 --> 02:06:28,260
That works. Okay. Thank you. So September 29th with a prior stop in the account.

1404
02:06:31,010 --> 02:06:32,670
The chair of the committee. Okay.

1405
02:06:34,940 --> 02:06:37,500
Thank you so much, machines are open for the vote.

1406
02:06:39,020 --> 02:06:40,160
I'm up to two for carries.

1407
02:06:42,830 --> 02:06:47,430
Under district two, I don't 2024-10842 all commission districts.

1408
02:06:47,430 --> 02:06:52,170
A resolution to amend the Board of Commissioners standing procedural rules, but this is an upside.

1409
02:06:52,170 --> 02:06:53,330
Yeah,

1410
02:06:58,790 --> 02:07:07,650
it's based on the recommendation of the office committee, this is our second reading and I move to approve.

1411
02:07:09,460 --> 02:07:10,380
Is there a second?

1412
02:07:11,640 --> 02:07:13,820
Second, thank you.

1413
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:16,740
Commissioner Terry, you request it to speak here before.

1414
02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:22,240
Yes, thank you Madam Presiding Officer.

1415
02:07:23,840 --> 02:07:29,440
I would like to request that in the spirit of consensus building

1416
02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:46,220
and compromise and also I think the intent of these real changes to remove the, I guess, the three vote rule is what we're calling it from this real change.

1417
02:07:47,140 --> 02:07:55,260
And the main reason is why I'm requesting this is number one, well, a couple of things I'll start with.

1418
02:07:55,260 --> 02:08:01,420
One, just the general consensus and understanding that each commissioner is elected.

1419
02:08:02,420 --> 02:08:06,240
For district commissioners, it's over 150,000 residents, if you're a super commissioner,

1420
02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:12,860
it's 350,000 residents, and presumably when folks elected us, they thought that we would

1421
02:08:12,860 --> 02:08:16,400
be able to introduce legislation to represent them.

1422
02:08:16,460 --> 02:08:21,280
It has been the policy of the Board of Commissioners that any single commissioner can introduce

1423
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:27,800
legislation to begin that public discussion about policies, issues, funding items, anything

1424
02:08:27,800 --> 02:08:31,060
really germane to what their constituents want.

1425
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:36,500
My concern with this three vote rule is that it basically turns what would be an open

1426
02:08:36,500 --> 02:08:41,900
democratic process into an unrecorded pocket veto, because what the rules are saying is that

1427
02:08:41,900 --> 02:08:48,540
a commissioner needs two other sponsors, he three commissioners, which is 43% of this body

1428
02:08:48,540 --> 02:08:51,440
before an item can even be brought to the public.

1429
02:08:52,140 --> 02:08:54,800
But even in the rules that are being considered now,

1430
02:08:54,980 --> 02:08:58,340
it says that before the law department or central staff

1431
02:08:58,340 --> 02:09:01,340
can do their work, you need three commissioners.

1432
02:09:01,680 --> 02:09:03,560
And so I would say just on the grounds

1433
02:09:03,560 --> 02:09:07,160
that if a commissioner wants the law department or central staff

1434
02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:11,640
to help us work on ideas, it shouldn't take three commissioners

1435
02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:13,620
just to even get to the point of deciding

1436
02:09:13,620 --> 02:09:15,820
whether we want to discuss an item.

1437
02:09:16,780 --> 02:09:22,200
The committee system, I think, is designed for those discussions to happen.

1438
02:09:23,020 --> 02:09:29,840
I'm actually aware that the committee itself can discuss items at the leisure of the chair.

1439
02:09:30,680 --> 02:09:35,780
So there is a way actually for there to be three votes to bring items to the agenda that would be

1440
02:09:35,780 --> 02:09:43,900
the committee could simply ask the committee members to bring that legislation forward and discuss in that committee beforehand.

1441
02:09:43,900 --> 02:09:49,020
And there were discussions about the legality of the rule change, and I think we've heard

1442
02:09:49,020 --> 02:09:53,440
that legally the Commission can enact its own rules, but just because you can, doesn't

1443
02:09:53,440 --> 02:09:54,300
mean that you should.

1444
02:09:55,440 --> 02:09:59,960
We have acknowledged that there are some Board of Commissioners bodies in the cap cap.

1445
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:07,520
In Georgia, excuse me, that have a higher threshold, I believe it was referenced, Bartow County requiring

1446
02:10:07,520 --> 02:10:12,720
four commissioners before an item can be introduced, although their chair can introduce items to the

1447
02:10:12,720 --> 02:10:20,740
agenda whenever they want. The rule change also is still preserving the ability of the CEO to

1448
02:10:20,740 --> 02:10:27,280
introduce an agenda item whenever she wants. And then, I guess, the presiding officer also can still

1449
02:10:27,280 --> 02:10:29,100
in the latterly place items on the agenda.

1450
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:33,860
So while the CEO and the person who over the presiding officer is can't add an item to

1451
02:10:33,860 --> 02:10:39,060
the agenda, you know, latterly, it takes three of us under this rule change to introduce

1452
02:10:39,060 --> 02:10:40,480
any items to the agenda.

1453
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:49,420
This is sort of like a multi-member pre-clearance situation, and it could be a good thing

1454
02:10:50,520 --> 02:10:56,400
if tailored in the right way, maybe through a quarterly retreat process where the boards

1455
02:10:56,400 --> 02:11:01,720
committees work on ideas and hopefully through that retreat process and a work plan we can get

1456
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:06,900
to, you know, two commissioners, three commissioners, but it could be abused. There could

1457
02:11:06,900 --> 02:11:11,140
be a support in the future where two commissioners, a district commissioner, and a super commissioner,

1458
02:11:11,700 --> 02:11:17,080
decide there's something really important to their districts, but the other five commissioners say,

1459
02:11:17,080 --> 02:11:23,480
we don't want to deal with it. And so it basically prevents any one or two commissioners from bringing

1460
02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:26,620
items to the board for considering consideration.

1461
02:11:27,260 --> 02:11:29,620
I think also forcing the three commissioners to negotiate

1462
02:11:29,620 --> 02:11:32,480
behind the scenes before anything can be brought to the public

1463
02:11:32,480 --> 02:11:39,700
light basically creates this danger of horse trading,

1464
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,020
where by the time you all see anything that comes to our agenda,

1465
02:11:43,340 --> 02:11:45,500
it's already basically been worked out.

1466
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:49,080
And even more concerning is if three of the commissioners

1467
02:11:49,080 --> 02:11:52,040
are on the same committee, then now we have just

1468
02:11:52,040 --> 02:11:54,560
bypass the whole committee process.

1469
02:11:54,940 --> 02:11:57,760
The committee process was designed for deliberation.

1470
02:11:58,540 --> 02:12:01,960
And finally, I think the other concern with this rule change

1471
02:12:01,960 --> 02:12:05,900
is that the Robertsville's order still preserves the right

1472
02:12:05,900 --> 02:12:09,640
for a motion in a second to add an item to the agenda.

1473
02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:11,880
And so what might end up happening is,

1474
02:12:11,880 --> 02:12:14,240
if two commissioners can't get a third vote,

1475
02:12:14,940 --> 02:12:17,120
then the only way commissioners can bring it to the table

1476
02:12:17,120 --> 02:12:19,980
is by bringing it to the agenda and forcing the discussion

1477
02:12:19,980 --> 02:12:22,920
during a normal meeting to add an item to the agenda.

1478
02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:24,220
Thank you, Commissioner.

1479
02:12:25,980 --> 02:12:27,100
Thank you.

1480
02:12:27,120 --> 02:12:28,200
Thank you, Madam President and Officer.

1481
02:12:29,340 --> 02:12:31,940
I have three points I'd like to make.

1482
02:12:32,180 --> 02:12:35,940
One of them I will ask the law department and we can hear time on the clock.

1483
02:12:36,100 --> 02:12:36,460
They're choosing.

1484
02:12:36,680 --> 02:12:40,420
Come forward to the podium and I may present a substitute motion.

1485
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:47,240
So my first point is the law department was sent a request by Commissioner Terry.

1486
02:12:47,240 --> 02:12:56,100
And we had previously, I co-sponsored co-drafted, I guess, this memo to the Board of Commissioners,

1487
02:12:56,140 --> 02:12:59,400
just expressing our concerns over this three-sponsor rule.

1488
02:12:59,860 --> 02:13:11,520
I appreciate you guys very quickly reviewing that memo and then providing your legal opinion on what we submitted to the commissioners within the body of that memo.

1489
02:13:11,520 --> 02:13:19,940
I have not had a chance to speak to you guys yet about it, because I believe you sent it yesterday, maybe after noon or so.

1490
02:13:20,600 --> 02:13:28,280
And most of us spend a good part of our Mondays getting prepared for today's meetings, plural, this one plus the committee meetings.

1491
02:13:28,900 --> 02:13:39,220
My question to you, sir, is something that Commissioner Terry brought up about the presiding officer being able to add an item without the three sponsor rule.

1492
02:13:39,220 --> 02:13:45,860
I just kind of glanced at our presiding officer, and I think she's potentially not an agreement on that.

1493
02:13:46,080 --> 02:13:52,240
Could you just expand? Is that something we're done that memo that maybe we didn't fully read into?

1494
02:13:52,440 --> 02:13:54,460
Or is that something you need to go back and think about?

1495
02:13:55,220 --> 02:13:56,500
Of course, what I'm confident in doing

1496
02:13:59,920 --> 02:14:00,280
that.

1497
02:14:00,280 --> 02:14:00,560
Okay.

1498
02:14:03,670 --> 02:14:08,230
In this public forum and opinion from the law department, I'd ask that we speak about that offline.

1499
02:14:08,910 --> 02:14:12,310
But to respond from what your current rules say,

1500
02:14:12,310 --> 02:14:15,410
as your commonly referred to Blue Book provide.

1501
02:14:15,950 --> 02:14:16,790
Yes, sir.

1502
02:14:16,850 --> 02:14:19,830
Under part one, number one,

1503
02:14:19,950 --> 02:14:23,750
presiding officer, sections E and F,

1504
02:14:23,970 --> 02:14:26,950
I think are what commissioner Terry's referring to

1505
02:14:26,950 --> 02:14:28,430
and how that will war a place.

1506
02:14:28,870 --> 02:14:30,630
I think that there are no page numbers.

1507
02:14:30,830 --> 02:14:31,750
It's the first rule.

1508
02:14:32,390 --> 02:14:34,130
It's the first page of actual rules,

1509
02:14:34,430 --> 02:14:37,210
right behind the table of contents,

1510
02:14:37,210 --> 02:14:38,370
if you will, you will, you will.

1511
02:14:38,570 --> 02:14:38,670
Thank you.

1512
02:14:38,750 --> 02:14:39,410
I'll be there.

1513
02:14:39,410 --> 02:14:39,610
Go ahead.

1514
02:14:39,710 --> 02:14:41,730
So, I'm just going to read it to you.

1515
02:14:42,510 --> 02:14:50,950
The term of the meeting agenda and the absence of a committee of the whole, that is a power that you've given to the presiding officer.

1516
02:14:52,430 --> 02:14:59,970
Have the discretion to add an item to the agenda after the committee of the whole, but prior to the public.

1517
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:08,200
The next Board of Commissioners regular business meeting agenda. Those two have been in place. I believe, in a sense, this book was adopted.

1518
02:15:09,840 --> 02:15:21,980
Okay, all right. So you haven't made any other suggestions or changes related to the presiding officers. Well, as the PL last year, remember I did have that privilege to do it.

1519
02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:29,000
So thank you for that clarification. All right. The next comment I have is related to the purpose of the committee.

1520
02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:36,360
thank you sir, related to the committee structure. This was actually a suggestion made an email

1521
02:15:36,360 --> 02:15:44,200
last year and there I believe was some commentary through email about this new rule so it's

1522
02:15:44,200 --> 02:15:48,700
don't recall when it was but I believe it's taken a full year to kind of advance it forward

1523
02:15:48,700 --> 02:15:56,180
and my feeling on this is that the purpose of this committee structure we have five committees. Each committee

1524
02:15:56,180 --> 02:16:03,160
has three standing members on those committees and then other commissioners are able to participate

1525
02:16:03,160 --> 02:16:09,120
in attend those committee meetings and after the committee member's feet that then they are

1526
02:16:09,120 --> 02:16:16,660
able to also speak or deliberate debate, open, on each agenda item that's being discussed within

1527
02:16:16,660 --> 02:16:24,340
that particular committee meeting. So to me, the structure was already designed to have a

1528
02:16:24,340 --> 02:16:30,340
may be not necessarily a vote, but a recommendation from three commissioners.

1529
02:16:31,020 --> 02:16:38,720
So this new rule, in effect, has the pre-three sponsor rule, then it goes once you get

1530
02:16:38,720 --> 02:16:44,960
those three sponsors, as commissioner Terry pointed out, 43%, then it comes to a cow meeting

1531
02:16:45,350 --> 02:16:50,960
and determine which committee, then it goes to a business meeting and at that point I know

1532
02:16:50,960 --> 02:16:56,300
The presiding officer asks us not to debate or deliberate too much during the business meeting,

1533
02:16:56,760 --> 02:17:01,200
but for it to actually go to the committee meeting for that deliberation at which three

1534
02:17:01,780 --> 02:17:07,420
commissioners make a recommendation, and that recommendation could be for approval, for denial,

1535
02:17:07,800 --> 02:17:13,700
for withdrawal, it can also be tabled within committee if you don't get to that item or if

1536
02:17:13,700 --> 02:17:18,280
the committee chair really just feels like there needs to be more due diligence on the back end.

1537
02:17:18,280 --> 02:17:25,400
So I am of the opinion that the structure we currently have in place is sufficient to deal with them.

1538
02:17:25,780 --> 02:17:34,280
So my substitute motion and Mr. County attorney now, if you can make sure I make this correctly,

1539
02:17:34,860 --> 02:17:38,320
is if we could please remove the three sponsor.

1540
02:17:38,660 --> 02:17:47,440
So my motion is to remove the three sponsor rule from the overall vote of our blue book, our procedural rules,

1541
02:17:47,440 --> 02:17:59,320
defer that for 30 days to the next for the business meeting and 30 days which would be September 29th.

1542
02:17:59,320 --> 02:18:00,500
That is my motion.

1543
02:18:01,220 --> 02:18:01,940
Substitute motion.

1544
02:18:03,980 --> 02:18:04,580
It was supposed to.

1545
02:18:05,240 --> 02:18:08,420
So county attorney that sounded like that good enough.

1546
02:18:09,140 --> 02:18:09,160
Official.

1547
02:18:09,500 --> 02:18:10,680
What's it?

1548
02:18:10,720 --> 02:18:11,420
Substitute motion?

1549
02:18:11,740 --> 02:18:13,480
You didn't seem to object any of that.

1550
02:18:13,480 --> 02:18:19,640
It didn't what I want to be clear that what the practical effect would be is that you would have a first reading

1551
02:18:20,260 --> 02:18:21,940
Because you have to start over

1552
02:18:21,940 --> 02:18:28,220
You would have a first reading of what you're proposing at the meeting in 30 days understood

1553
02:18:29,100 --> 02:18:34,440
All right, there's a substitute motion seconded by commissioner. Yeah, I believe

1554
02:18:34,440 --> 02:18:37,060
All right commissioner both can you request to speak?

1555
02:18:38,340 --> 02:18:41,000
Yes, ma'am. Thank you madam presiding officer

1556
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:46,280
First, I want to say I am a supporter of the three co-sponsor rule that we're proposing

1557
02:18:46,280 --> 02:18:47,720
for the blue book.

1558
02:18:47,940 --> 02:18:56,300
However, considering what our colleagues have just communicated, I was thinking that a compromise

1559
02:18:56,300 --> 02:19:03,120
could potentially be that committee chairs can add items to their committee.

1560
02:19:03,940 --> 02:19:10,040
So not an individual adding to that item and that similar to the presiding officer having the

1561
02:19:10,040 --> 02:19:19,720
ability to add and set for B. Cow, but so if a commissioner and the committee chair are both

1562
02:19:19,720 --> 02:19:27,700
in agreement only for that committee, can an atom be item at the discretion of the chair.

1563
02:19:28,280 --> 02:19:36,080
And so this would preserve the committee structure and allow for a two-person rule outside

1564
02:19:36,080 --> 02:19:44,440
of what we have already proposed and just sharing that as an idea, it has not been added,

1565
02:19:44,660 --> 02:19:50,740
it has not been discussed. This is just something I was thinking for committee chairs to

1566
02:19:50,740 --> 02:19:53,920
still have the authority over their committees and I go back.

1567
02:19:54,760 --> 02:19:57,620
Thank you commissioner Bolton. Commissioner Terry, your second opportunity.

1568
02:19:59,100 --> 02:19:59,960
Thank you. I think

1569
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:04,540
That is an interesting proposal, commissioner, the one second, let's get through time right?

1570
02:20:05,800 --> 02:20:07,580
Just being three minutes, three seconds.

1571
02:20:09,240 --> 02:20:10,240
All right, thank you.

1572
02:20:10,540 --> 02:20:11,720
I think that is an interesting proposal.

1573
02:20:12,760 --> 02:20:18,460
I, were you saying that added to the committee agenda or the Board agenda?

1574
02:20:21,900 --> 02:20:26,600
Well, everything has to start with the count and then be assigned to a committee.

1575
02:20:29,340 --> 02:20:32,500
But essentially, yes to both.

1576
02:20:33,220 --> 02:20:39,700
Okay, so a committee chair and a member of the committee would be able also to add an item

1577
02:20:39,700 --> 02:20:42,420
to the agenda as it relates to that committee.

1578
02:20:42,680 --> 02:20:51,000
Just to that committee, so if you want it to add something to arts, you can either go the route

1579
02:20:51,000 --> 02:20:58,740
in the three of you, go you and your two co-sponsors or if the committee chair is wants to

1580
02:20:58,740 --> 02:21:02,320
have that item on their agenda, then it could be proposed.

1581
02:21:03,100 --> 02:21:04,560
Okay, but only committee agenda only.

1582
02:21:05,580 --> 02:21:08,980
You can't do just a committee agenda of waiver currency setup.

1583
02:21:09,760 --> 02:21:13,480
Okay. Well, I think it would be on the Cal but assigned to that committee.

1584
02:21:13,740 --> 02:21:16,280
You're just getting by and from the committee chair.

1585
02:21:16,520 --> 02:21:17,940
Okay, gotcha. Okay.

1586
02:21:19,500 --> 02:21:22,340
So, well, now I'd love to, I like what you're saying.

1587
02:21:22,520 --> 02:21:27,860
I like to, can we defer this because of we pass?

1588
02:21:28,680 --> 02:21:35,200
that, then we'll have to do another amendment, right, I guess, that would be the next rule change.

1589
02:21:35,980 --> 02:21:36,340
What is this?

1590
02:21:36,560 --> 02:21:37,080
What is this?

1591
02:21:37,080 --> 02:21:41,060
I was saying, this is separate from the three rule.

1592
02:21:41,600 --> 02:21:45,120
This was just an addition too.

1593
02:21:45,340 --> 02:21:47,480
So a lot to hold up the vote today.

1594
02:21:50,050 --> 02:21:50,130
Okay.

1595
02:21:50,130 --> 02:21:54,750
So can I ask a clarifying question that might help some of this?

1596
02:21:55,090 --> 02:22:02,550
So Attorney Phillips, just to make sure I'm understanding this right, if we were to continue

1597
02:22:02,550 --> 02:22:08,290
with the second read and approval today, but then we know there's additional items that are

1598
02:22:08,290 --> 02:22:15,310
under consideration. And so with what Commissioner Bolton was just alpining to, that could make

1599
02:22:15,310 --> 02:22:20,990
a consideration in that next round, anyway, just add to the roles that we would pass today,

1600
02:22:20,990 --> 02:22:22,850
is that a correct understanding?

1601
02:22:24,970 --> 02:22:28,770
As I understood Dr. Bolton, yes, that would be a new rule

1602
02:22:28,770 --> 02:22:31,070
that would be added in the next round

1603
02:22:31,070 --> 02:22:34,670
to supplement your process and extend it to committee chairs.

1604
02:22:35,290 --> 02:22:37,290
If I follow her, we would work to make sure

1605
02:22:37,290 --> 02:22:39,610
we articulate exactly what you envision.

1606
02:22:40,370 --> 02:22:42,710
So that would allow for the original motion.

1607
02:22:43,030 --> 02:22:46,130
We could move forward with what's before it's currently,

1608
02:22:46,890 --> 02:22:49,330
but knowing that we've already discussed

1609
02:22:49,330 --> 02:22:53,010
that there are additional changes that need to come out of the

1610
02:22:53,010 --> 02:22:54,430
Ops Committee and get consensus.

1611
02:22:54,770 --> 02:22:56,810
So it sounds like this could be one of those items.

1612
02:22:56,870 --> 02:22:58,490
Just wanted to make sure we're clear.

1613
02:22:59,870 --> 02:23:00,070
Okay.

1614
02:23:00,650 --> 02:23:04,450
Well, I like when this is going, I probably still won't support the rule change,

1615
02:23:05,190 --> 02:23:09,190
but hopefully we can work out in a future Ops meeting that addition.

1616
02:23:09,250 --> 02:23:13,230
I think that would go a long way to help me address my concerns.

1617
02:23:13,850 --> 02:23:13,970
Okay.

1618
02:23:14,210 --> 02:23:14,830
Thank you, Mr. Terry.

1619
02:23:14,950 --> 02:23:16,690
Commissioner Monspires, your second opportunity.

1620
02:23:16,690 --> 02:23:18,910
Thank you Madam Presiding Officer.

1621
02:23:20,050 --> 02:23:22,010
It was a good time on move.

1622
02:23:22,510 --> 02:23:25,430
Interesting idea actually.

1623
02:23:26,290 --> 02:23:28,890
So I just want to make sure I'm really clearly understand it.

1624
02:23:29,670 --> 02:23:32,370
Because I think there was just a little confusion with the back and forth.

1625
02:23:32,770 --> 02:23:37,170
So what you're suggesting is this be not something we're voting on today.

1626
02:23:37,970 --> 02:23:42,030
Okay, but an additional rule that can be deliberated in the Ops committee in the future.

1627
02:23:42,770 --> 02:23:44,710
So let me make something easy up.

1628
02:23:44,710 --> 02:23:51,770
So, say we're suggesting that we change our blue book to purple or green, right?

1629
02:23:51,990 --> 02:23:53,610
This is just an example.

1630
02:23:55,030 --> 02:23:55,870
It would,

1631
02:23:57,930 --> 02:24:03,450
let me think here, so if let's just say that would be in the Ops committee.

1632
02:24:04,690 --> 02:24:12,410
So we are the chair, somebody wants to change the procedural rule from blue, let's say, to green.

1633
02:24:12,410 --> 02:24:23,890
So does that mean the person that wants to do that needs to go in advance to the chair of the committee and ask if they would support that rule?

1634
02:24:24,570 --> 02:24:34,130
Okay, so let's say I'm suggesting to Commissioner Marita Davis Johnson that I think it'd be a cool idea to change it from blue to green.

1635
02:24:34,130 --> 02:24:39,850
And I go to her and she says, I like that idea and I'm not saying that you do or

1636
02:24:39,850 --> 02:24:40,470
don't.

1637
02:24:40,790 --> 02:24:42,370
But I like that idea.

1638
02:24:44,130 --> 02:24:48,530
Mr. County Attorney, there's no problem with any kind of email, correspondence discussing

1639
02:24:48,530 --> 02:24:49,950
that through email.

1640
02:24:50,410 --> 02:24:52,990
You are allowed to communicate in writing, okay.

1641
02:24:53,170 --> 02:24:53,430
Cool things.

1642
02:24:53,770 --> 02:24:54,170
All right.

1643
02:24:54,530 --> 02:24:59,850
And then she likes that idea and so would you have to have just based on what you're

1644
02:24:59,850 --> 02:24:59,970
Thank you.

1645
02:25:01,020 --> 02:25:15,820
The committee chair and another member of the committee, so that would in effect be two people, making that recommendation, or could it be the committee chair and then the person that's sponsoring it, so I don't sit on the Ops committee.

1646
02:25:16,660 --> 02:25:26,620
So is that acceptable for a non-Ops committee member, a non-committee member, to partner with the chair, so that would constate two sponsors of that?

1647
02:25:28,760 --> 02:25:37,580
Yes, if it's the committee, if you get buying from the committee chair, you just need that one additional person or any three commissioners.

1648
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:41,420
Okay. All right. Well, it's it's certainly an interesting idea.

1649
02:25:42,440 --> 02:25:47,640
And I would definitely love the opportunity to explore that further. Thank you so much. You'll back.

1650
02:25:47,900 --> 02:25:50,460
Thank you commissioner, sir. Your first opportunity.

1651
02:25:50,860 --> 02:25:52,520
Thank you so much.

1652
02:25:52,520 --> 02:26:02,620
and as initially hesitant, as it was, I support us moving forward with this, particularly

1653
02:26:02,620 --> 02:26:11,420
as Chair Peck's I've seen how legislation that hasn't been properly vet it comes before

1654
02:26:11,420 --> 02:26:19,800
us, and it does not go into the legal department first. It is not something that's discussed

1655
02:26:19,800 --> 02:26:22,160
with other departments to be quite frank.

1656
02:26:22,620 --> 02:26:26,380
It is utilized as political play and rhetoric.

1657
02:26:27,080 --> 02:26:32,540
And what it does is it not only ties up and makes difficult

1658
02:26:32,540 --> 02:26:35,480
our work here as commissioners.

1659
02:26:35,980 --> 02:26:40,380
It also sometimes inadvertently, and sometimes to be quite frank,

1660
02:26:40,440 --> 02:26:44,080
people do it intentionally, misrepresenting

1661
02:26:44,080 --> 02:26:46,640
creates a confusion in the public.

1662
02:26:46,640 --> 02:27:12,960
So, to the extent since we have a responsibility as commissioners, as long as we're not doing it like some of my colleagues here, in adverse open meetings, if there is a socialization and a brief discussion, and you get support and garnish support, that just allows an opportunity for collaborative leadership and discussion around how we can make it better.

1663
02:27:12,960 --> 02:27:20,900
weeks that may need to take place beforehand, and therefore allows us to put more effective,

1664
02:27:21,120 --> 02:27:27,760
more efficient legislation before we deliver it with the rest of our colleagues and then vote.

1665
02:27:28,280 --> 02:27:31,600
So I don't see it as a stifling of anyone.

1666
02:27:31,980 --> 02:27:36,200
I see it more as an opportunity for us to work collaboratively,

1667
02:27:36,200 --> 02:27:43,860
put our heads together and put forth legislation that is supported and more thought out with that I

1668
02:27:43,860 --> 02:27:50,260
you'll back. Thank you, Commissioner Missiah. Excuse me. So currently the motion on the

1669
02:27:50,260 --> 02:27:57,020
four is a substitute motion. And I've seen no further requests to speak. So the substitute motion

1670
02:27:57,020 --> 02:28:02,140
essentially was to remove the three sponsor role and then defer for 30 days. Is that correct?

1671
02:28:02,140 --> 02:28:04,800
to make sure it belongs to yours.

1672
02:28:05,360 --> 02:28:06,300
Yes, man, that is the substitute.

1673
02:28:06,580 --> 02:28:07,280
Okay, thank you.

1674
02:28:07,320 --> 02:28:09,040
And that was seconded by Commissioner Terry.

1675
02:28:09,600 --> 02:28:11,220
So that is what will vote on first.

1676
02:28:11,320 --> 02:28:13,040
Please open the machine for the vote.

1677
02:28:19,720 --> 02:28:22,100
That is substitute motion fails.

1678
02:28:22,860 --> 02:28:24,580
So now we're back to the original motion,

1679
02:28:24,820 --> 02:28:26,100
which was to approve.

1680
02:28:27,240 --> 02:28:30,820
And I forget who seconded that original motion.

1681
02:28:30,920 --> 02:28:31,860
Good, Commissioner Bolton.

1682
02:28:31,960 --> 02:28:34,680
So if you can't your buttons for me again, please.

1683
02:28:37,780 --> 02:28:39,300
Let the ops share do it.

1684
02:28:43,910 --> 02:28:47,010
So let's open that machine for that vote.

1685
02:28:52,020 --> 02:28:53,060
The motion does carry.

1686
02:28:53,420 --> 02:28:56,360
I will say that I did like the additional conversations.

1687
02:28:56,360 --> 02:28:59,460
I hope we can move forward with some of that additional conversation.

1688
02:29:00,140 --> 02:29:01,360
I'm back in Tennessee.

1689
02:29:02,040 --> 02:29:02,760
I'm sorry.

1690
02:29:02,980 --> 02:29:03,240
Commissioner Davis.

1691
02:29:03,480 --> 02:29:04,100
Right, briefly.

1692
02:29:05,040 --> 02:29:07,340
Yeah, I would just like to say and respond to that.

1693
02:29:07,460 --> 02:29:07,900
Please.

1694
02:29:08,640 --> 02:29:12,600
Those that have questions comments and put on the commission.

1695
02:29:12,740 --> 02:29:15,460
Please come to the ops meeting.

1696
02:29:15,460 --> 02:29:23,060
sort of we can discuss it fully, commissioned it, Terry is at just about every ops committee,

1697
02:29:23,900 --> 02:29:26,100
meeting in person.

1698
02:29:26,340 --> 02:29:37,240
I think he had one teleconference, ops committee, but I would just encourage everyone that

1699
02:29:37,240 --> 02:29:45,480
as input into the items that we're discussing, not only in the blue book, but for the

1700
02:29:45,480 --> 02:29:50,720
child review, please come to the Ops Committee so that we can fully discuss and they

1701
02:29:50,720 --> 02:29:52,980
won't have to be discussed in the business meeting.

1702
02:29:53,800 --> 02:29:54,020
Thank you.

1703
02:29:54,360 --> 02:29:55,880
Thank you, Commissioner Davis Johnson.

1704
02:29:55,880 --> 02:29:59,840
Top of page 17, I don't 2026, that's 0.5.

1705
02:30:00,680 --> 02:30:08,520
All commission districts and ordinance to regulate the restraint and transportation of animals and for other purposes, and this is an urgent item.

1706
02:30:09,140 --> 02:30:25,520
Move for action. Move for action. Yes, ma'am. Page 18, item 2026-0708 all commission districts and an ordinance to amend the code of to cab county Georgia chapter five to regulate the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits and pet shops.

1707
02:30:25,520 --> 02:30:29,520
move for action and with that metham,

1708
02:30:31,280 --> 02:30:33,640
presiding officer on behalf of the arts committee.

1709
02:30:34,300 --> 02:30:40,680
I move to defer both item 0.596 and 0.728

1710
02:30:40,680 --> 02:30:44,840
to the September 15th BLC with a prior stop in hers.

1711
02:30:45,960 --> 02:30:46,820
Oh, go ahead.

1712
02:30:48,140 --> 02:30:48,760
You can take it.

1713
02:30:49,380 --> 02:30:50,220
Thank you.

1714
02:30:50,420 --> 02:30:51,660
We have a motion and a second.

1715
02:30:51,760 --> 02:30:54,460
Commissioner Longspirers, you requested a speaker for.

1716
02:30:54,460 --> 02:31:02,460
Yes, ma'am. Both of these items are a district two sponsored item and I did want to acknowledge the

1717
02:31:02,460 --> 02:31:09,600
herbs chair for being gracious and allowing us to bring in speakers, both virtually and in person,

1718
02:31:09,980 --> 02:31:18,520
to speak to these topics. One topic related to transient sales. We have discussed several times now in committee meeting.

1719
02:31:18,520 --> 02:31:23,680
we do have the retail sales ban, which is one, I believe, coming up on a future

1720
02:31:23,680 --> 02:31:28,840
orp sejenda. So, have you determined what date, madam, orp's share, you guys

1721
02:31:28,840 --> 02:31:32,300
will be hearing that item, inquiring minds want to know.

1722
02:31:32,500 --> 02:31:37,780
We haven't worked it out yet. We'll work out with you because I know you have another

1723
02:31:37,780 --> 02:31:42,800
speaker. That's correct. That's why we're trying to start coordinating that. Awesome.

1724
02:31:42,960 --> 02:31:44,960
Okay, very good. Thank you so much, and I yield back.

1725
02:31:45,280 --> 02:31:48,280
Thank you, Commissioner Long Spears. I see no further requests to speak.

1726
02:31:48,280 --> 02:31:49,820
for the vote.

1727
02:31:56,420 --> 02:32:02,640
Motion to defer carries. Thank you. Bottom the page 18, a district 3 item,

1728
02:32:06,020 --> 02:32:13,960
and then being handed to substitute for this. Item 2026-0550 adopted ordinance to amend the

1729
02:32:13,960 --> 02:32:19,140
code of the CAF County to address public safety drifting, unauthorized camping, and certain public

1730
02:32:19,140 --> 02:32:20,200
Susan's behaviors,

1731
02:32:22,420 --> 02:32:24,320
and this is a text item.

1732
02:32:24,380 --> 02:32:27,940
Motion to approve committee with the additional substitute

1733
02:32:27,940 --> 02:32:28,720
at language.

1734
02:32:29,480 --> 02:32:30,780
Is there a second

1735
02:32:36,220 --> 02:32:38,420
for the purposes of discussion?

1736
02:32:39,200 --> 02:32:40,940
Thank you so much.

1737
02:32:41,140 --> 02:32:42,400
Commissioner wrongspers, are you requesting

1738
02:32:42,400 --> 02:32:44,680
his speakers at the hangover from last time?

1739
02:32:45,260 --> 02:32:47,220
No, ma'am, I am requesting to speak, please.

1740
02:32:47,520 --> 02:32:48,400
Thank you.

1741
02:32:48,480 --> 02:32:49,440
I'm out of the form, ma'am.

1742
02:32:49,540 --> 02:32:50,340
Thank you so much.

1743
02:32:50,360 --> 02:32:51,640
I appreciate that.

1744
02:32:52,020 --> 02:32:52,400
All right.

1745
02:32:52,400 --> 02:33:06,760
So there has been considerable dialogue about this item, and I wanted to address a couple of issues that have been brought to my attention.

1746
02:33:07,460 --> 02:33:15,680
The first thing is that I get all my papers organized, a huge stack all relates to this.

1747
02:33:15,680 --> 02:33:23,900
Okay, this item has been active now since the spring, so it's been ongoing now for many, many months.

1748
02:33:24,840 --> 02:33:33,160
The date of the previous version was dated June 9th and I just had my office confirm that.

1749
02:33:33,720 --> 02:33:42,040
On June 8th we did receive considerable feedback from Dr. Allen Ferguson, our housing officer,

1750
02:33:42,040 --> 02:33:49,780
and that was a email that was sent to me and then distributed to all of the commissioners making

1751
02:33:49,780 --> 02:33:56,860
several recommendations for the urban camping ordinance. I have limited time so I'm going to

1752
02:33:56,860 --> 02:34:02,720
read very quickly and I will request a second time to speak. So the very first thing he requested

1753
02:34:02,720 --> 02:34:12,020
is a title change to what you currently read on the agenda to read an ordinance to amend the

1754
02:34:12,020 --> 02:34:18,660
in camping, in camp management, public access, and public safety, and for other purposes.

1755
02:34:19,320 --> 02:34:25,380
He've been also added to extra warehouse statements that I wholeheartedly believe and agree

1756
02:34:25,380 --> 02:34:30,300
with both of them, whereas the Commission recognizes that homelessness is fundamentally

1757
02:34:30,300 --> 02:34:34,860
a housing and service delivery challenge that is best to dress through access to housing

1758
02:34:34,860 --> 02:34:39,640
shelter, behavioral health services, supportive services, employment, opportunities and coordinated

1759
02:34:39,640 --> 02:34:44,980
community resources and whereas the purpose of this ordinance is not to criminalize homelessness

1760
02:34:44,980 --> 02:34:50,320
or poverty but to preserve public health and safety while connecting individuals to available

1761
02:34:50,320 --> 02:34:56,780
services and housing resources whenever possible. The reason I elevate the addition of these two

1762
02:34:56,780 --> 02:34:59,960
as statements. I believe that it is fair.

1763
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:07,260
And all of our desire to ensure that our unhouse plan really sinks with our overall housing

1764
02:35:07,260 --> 02:35:15,920
complaint, and that it is a compassionate solution to the homelessness crisis that we're dealing

1765
02:35:15,920 --> 02:35:22,860
with right now here in DeCab County. He further goes on to revise the definition of camp. Camp

1766
02:35:22,860 --> 02:35:28,120
means using public property for living accommodation purposes, including sleeping, storing personal

1767
02:35:28,120 --> 02:35:32,600
alongings, erecting temporary shelters or structures, cooking, maintaining bedding materials,

1768
02:35:32,820 --> 02:35:38,920
or otherwise residing in a location not intended for human habitation, and currently not

1769
02:35:38,920 --> 02:35:46,040
of the above is in the substitute ordinance that is in front of us right now.

1770
02:35:46,960 --> 02:35:53,660
The next thing that he brought up was resat revising the prohibitive conduct section, and again

1771
02:35:53,660 --> 02:35:58,120
This came from the administration, it did come from our chief housing officer, Dr. Ferguson.

1772
02:35:59,060 --> 02:36:01,940
He suggested we revise the language to read.

1773
02:36:02,100 --> 02:36:06,760
It should shall be unlawful for any person to establish a maintain a cap site on public

1774
02:36:06,760 --> 02:36:11,800
property in a manner that materially obstructs public access public infrastructure or the

1775
02:36:11,800 --> 02:36:13,420
intended use of public property.

1776
02:36:14,060 --> 02:36:18,540
Shall be unlawful for any person to erect or maintain temporary structures that obstruct sidewalks

1777
02:36:18,540 --> 02:36:21,480
roadways, public ride-aways, trails, parks or public facilities.

1778
02:36:21,480 --> 02:36:28,740
Thirdly camp within designated Shelby Unlawful to camp within designated environmentally sensitive

1779
02:36:28,740 --> 02:36:34,700
areas, utility easements, flood-prone areas, transportation corridors, bridges, tunnels,

1780
02:36:35,660 --> 02:36:40,700
active construction sites or other locations designated by the county as presenting

1781
02:36:40,700 --> 02:36:43,440
a significant health or safety risk.

1782
02:36:44,060 --> 02:36:48,700
He has several other sections I don't have time within the eight minutes we'll have total,

1783
02:36:48,700 --> 02:36:55,500
But the topics of exploration, which I don't believe we have fully explored yet, are strengthening

1784
02:36:55,500 --> 02:37:02,700
our outreach requirements, adding vulnerable population protections, extending personal

1785
02:37:02,700 --> 02:37:06,060
property notice requirements, and I will elevate that.

1786
02:37:06,220 --> 02:37:10,780
These states here written notice shall be post at least 72 hours prior to the removal of

1787
02:37:10,780 --> 02:37:15,720
personal property except where a media action is required to address a threat to public health

1788
02:37:15,720 --> 02:37:17,300
public safety or environmental hazards.

1789
02:37:17,300 --> 02:37:28,980
So 72 hours of the next section is personal property storage procedures, just ensuring that we do give at least a period of 30 days for those to be recovered from the owner.

1790
02:37:29,580 --> 02:37:40,720
And then also around a progressive enforcement framework, which is really focused on outreach and engagement opportunity for voluntary compliance citation or civil enforcement action.

1791
02:37:41,260 --> 02:37:45,680
And arrest only went authorized by law and after repeated refusal to comply.

1792
02:37:45,680 --> 02:37:59,060
I bring this up because I do want to make a substitute motion to defer this item for 90 days to be heard in the second call of water.

1793
02:37:59,260 --> 02:38:02,100
I'm allowed to make a substitute motion.

1794
02:38:02,120 --> 02:38:07,620
I will allow her to make the substitute motion outside of her time as I would allow any commissioner to do.

1795
02:38:07,920 --> 02:38:09,460
She can continue to make zero.

1796
02:38:10,540 --> 02:38:12,600
She can continue to make her substitute motion.

1797
02:38:12,600 --> 02:38:21,560
Thank you Madam President Officer, so I will repeat, I am making a substitute motion for item

1798
02:38:21,560 --> 02:38:32,560
2026-0550 to defer this item for 90 days to the second business meeting in November

1799
02:38:32,560 --> 02:38:40,300
that date is November 7th, 17th to give an opportunity for the PeX Chair to host a special

1800
02:38:40,300 --> 02:38:47,440
called PECS meeting or an opportunity for our law enforcement and public safety partners to come

1801
02:38:47,440 --> 02:38:52,120
together to the same table to really discuss this and make sure we put an ordinance for

1802
02:38:52,120 --> 02:38:57,600
to that's in the best interest of our how un-house citizens. Thank you. That is it.

1803
02:38:57,800 --> 02:39:06,430
Is there a second for the substitute motion? Second. Okay. So, Commissioner Long Spears is made a

1804
02:39:06,430 --> 02:39:12,090
to emotional, seconded by Commissioner Terry, Commissioner Sanya, you have the floor with your

1805
02:39:12,090 --> 02:39:13,930
first opportunity to speak.

1806
02:39:14,150 --> 02:39:15,110
Thank you so much.

1807
02:39:16,010 --> 02:39:21,350
So one I want to address the fact that this is not a housing ordinance, as politically

1808
02:39:21,350 --> 02:39:29,330
motivated as my colleague is here sending several emails or having folks post on social media

1809
02:39:29,330 --> 02:39:33,750
and calling this a ordinance to arrest the on-house.

1810
02:39:33,750 --> 02:39:39,510
I reiterate, this is not a housing ordinance, so it would be great and it would be a appropriate

1811
02:39:39,510 --> 02:39:47,570
for Dr. Ferguson and others that are focused on housing to weigh in specifically in and around

1812
02:39:47,570 --> 02:39:53,950
housing if that's what it was about, but what it is specifically about is vacancy and particular

1813
02:39:53,950 --> 02:39:59,430
behaviors that are concerning to specific areas I would say.

1814
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:29,980
You know, inundated in District 3, in and around, you know, South Decab County. And so, it is about that in public safety way. I have seniors that are concerned, trying to go in and out of house, I mean, in and out of grocery stores and gas stations that have a challenge with being able to do so. Additionally, we have laws that have come down when it comes to 2.95, where we have to do so.

1815
02:40:30,000 --> 02:40:36,960
to address some of these concerns, where it is difficult for folks to get into the right

1816
02:40:36,960 --> 02:40:42,400
away, cross streets. I don't know what it looks like in North to Cab and certain areas

1817
02:40:42,400 --> 02:40:46,700
where you are, but I will say, because that's where a lot of the emails actually came from,

1818
02:40:47,440 --> 02:40:59,560
opposed to South, but it is ongoing issue. Additionally, we have individuals that have two

1819
02:40:59,560 --> 02:41:09,240
in Atlanta. And so to ignore that and not be proactive and pre-emptive in our work, I think

1820
02:41:09,240 --> 02:41:17,100
is to not necessarily do our job. This isn't about a political gang. You've missed, we actually

1821
02:41:17,100 --> 02:41:21,860
had public safety, which someone from the sheriff's office, and from our police departments

1822
02:41:21,860 --> 02:41:29,480
spoke, you are absent. You actually deferred this already for 60 days. You were absent in

1823
02:41:29,480 --> 02:41:35,300
last discussion at the PEX meeting, so you're repeatedly absent for these conversations yet

1824
02:41:35,300 --> 02:41:42,440
you want it deferred for 90 days. You know, I are going to appreciate comments to improve

1825
02:41:42,440 --> 02:41:48,940
and to the extent that was your motive opposed to just trying to kill it and make it into

1826
02:41:48,940 --> 02:41:54,740
something that you want it to be to create a platform for yourself, then that would have been fine.

1827
02:41:54,740 --> 02:42:00,420
to send in, you know, comments and hey, suggestive language language, which by the way we did

1828
02:42:00,420 --> 02:42:07,060
add during our last peck meeting, when we talked about trespassing, that language was particularly

1829
02:42:07,060 --> 02:42:13,880
asked, not all people that are unhoused want to be housed. And some folks are sending up in

1830
02:42:13,880 --> 02:42:19,960
campments in unsafe areas. What we want to do is regulate and protect those individuals in

1831
02:42:19,960 --> 02:42:25,720
addition to people that are trying to affect the buy. I think the commissioner, Mr.

1832
02:42:26,280 --> 02:42:27,540
Commissioner Patrick, for its opportunity.

1833
02:42:28,740 --> 02:42:33,860
Thank you, Madam Presiding Officer. Commissioner Spears, Madam Chair, to my colleague,

1834
02:42:34,140 --> 02:42:39,000
if you could afford that email one more time, I apologize. I did not read that. It sounded

1835
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:42,840
it did sound very uncertain a lot of things, but I would appreciate being able to read that.

1836
02:42:42,840 --> 02:42:53,040
Absolutely, you know, we are in a situation where we have two people that are right, or we have two opinions that seem to be right.

1837
02:42:53,860 --> 02:42:57,160
There is a concern with the homelessness, even up in District 1.

1838
02:42:57,640 --> 02:43:02,260
Of course we can remember some of the events that happened in Atlanta over the summer.

1839
02:43:04,570 --> 02:43:15,330
At the Crowger at Shanley Tucker Road, there is homeless folks that are coming up and engaging with people when they're coming back with their groceries.

1840
02:43:16,750 --> 02:43:24,310
Again, Pleasantdale Road has a phenomenal amount of people that are panhandling, seemingly homeless in the area.

1841
02:43:24,970 --> 02:43:33,210
We have tried cleaning up UPS, the property across the street is where everyone moved, we tried clean that up and then they've moved down towards

1842
02:43:34,550 --> 02:43:39,210
Evan's road is another area that we're having a lot of activity, hearing reports of activities

1843
02:43:39,210 --> 02:43:43,650
around Mercer's campus, hearing reports again around activity around shallowford

1844
02:43:43,650 --> 02:43:43,870
road.

1845
02:43:44,950 --> 02:43:46,170
So, there is a concern.

1846
02:43:48,950 --> 02:43:54,030
I too, or I should say back, I guess, back in 23, 24, put forward a resolution saying

1847
02:43:54,030 --> 02:43:56,970
that we should find other ways besides arresting people.

1848
02:43:57,210 --> 02:44:02,390
And I think that everyone up here agrees with the notion that jail does not fix mental health

1849
02:44:02,390 --> 02:44:02,830
problems.

1850
02:44:02,830 --> 02:44:06,450
And so that is a concern, I think, we all share universally.

1851
02:44:10,520 --> 02:44:21,760
If you were comfortable with your motion to the October 27 BOC, with the prior stop or

1852
02:44:21,760 --> 02:44:28,400
stop at the PECS committee, I think that might be something because I do like what was suggested

1853
02:44:28,400 --> 02:44:29,800
by the director.

1854
02:44:32,200 --> 02:44:36,480
But I recognize also we have what's happened at the state legislature, which is this notion

1855
02:44:36,480 --> 02:44:42,680
that residents are empowered to sue the local authority and that'll be to cab county who's

1856
02:44:42,680 --> 02:44:46,960
responsible for human services as my understanding goes and I just want to make sure

1857
02:44:46,960 --> 02:44:51,760
that the county does have some level of protection to be able to present to a court that says

1858
02:44:51,760 --> 02:44:59,220
we have done something that suggests homelessness is a challenge that we're trying to address.

1859
02:44:59,220 --> 02:44:59,960
we also

1860
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:13,600
So I have, of course, the HIV that was recently approved that I think is a phenomenal step going towards addressing that, but I would be comfortable with a shorter time frame, but a little more in-depth conversation on that topic.

1861
02:45:14,540 --> 02:45:17,400
And one more thing to add since I got my two minutes and 17 seconds.

1862
02:45:18,260 --> 02:45:24,000
You know, it would be ideal also if we could bring back the joint statement that was prepared,

1863
02:45:24,040 --> 02:45:33,540
I guess, from the CEO, as well as the commission in this ongoing conversation, you'll

1864
02:45:33,540 --> 02:45:33,920
back my time.

1865
02:45:34,260 --> 02:45:38,100
So I'm clear, and I think we're all clear, you're asking Commissioner Patrick, you're asking

1866
02:45:38,100 --> 02:45:41,720
for a friendly amendment from the substitute motion for the commissioner on Spheres May.

1867
02:45:42,000 --> 02:45:45,000
If she would consider that, I think that would be a...

1868
02:45:45,000 --> 02:45:46,420
May I respond, Madame Pia?

1869
02:45:46,420 --> 02:45:53,940
Yes. So yes, I will accept that friendly amendment to October 22nd, 27th, whether you

1870
02:45:53,940 --> 02:45:59,420
set a stop in committee or committees. So one question I do have for the sponsor of the

1871
02:45:59,420 --> 02:46:04,080
item. And then I'm going to respond to that one piece. Okay, that's why we'll do that. I'll include

1872
02:46:04,080 --> 02:46:08,100
the other part of my follow-up. No problem. Yes, I accept your friendly amendment. Thank you.

1873
02:46:08,660 --> 02:46:11,640
Thank you. Commissioner Davis Johnson, you have the floor next.

1874
02:46:20,180 --> 02:46:22,680
Yeah. I think we're talking

1875
02:46:22,680 --> 02:46:32,940
of a very complex issue, you know, it's not black and white, you know, and I understand

1876
02:46:34,780 --> 02:46:47,280
what Commissioner Masa is attempting to do, I understand some of the things that you're

1877
02:46:47,280 --> 02:47:00,440
a couple of weeks ago, and a lady got out of a car with the child came up to me and said

1878
02:47:00,440 --> 02:47:05,740
that they needed to get home. They didn't have any gas. When I have a good gas that I don't

1879
02:47:05,740 --> 02:47:20,860
I went in the store, charged $10 worth of gas for her, and as I was walking out, I saw a man

1880
02:47:20,860 --> 02:47:28,700
get out of the car, go into the store and I went back into the store and bought a six-pack

1881
02:47:28,700 --> 02:47:41,820
be it. And that is not the norm, but it happens where individuals are harassed, taking advantage

1882
02:47:41,820 --> 02:47:53,700
of manipulated. And so I think that something needs to be in place. Now, is it a compromise

1883
02:47:53,700 --> 02:48:05,760
on calling what Dr. Ferguson stated, I don't know because it's compromised and really looked

1884
02:48:05,760 --> 02:48:17,020
at it, but I think that, you know, I don't see about 30 day at the most of 30 day

1885
02:48:17,020 --> 02:48:26,840
for all, could not achieve what we're trying to do and that is to make sure that we are

1886
02:48:26,840 --> 02:48:40,180
not from housing to make sure that we are not compromising the homeless at the same time

1887
02:48:40,180 --> 02:48:49,700
not risked in the safety of the public, so can I give a substitute that we got a first?

1888
02:48:50,520 --> 02:49:01,180
So I would give a friendly amendment, a second friendly amendment, for a 30 day deferral, rather than...

1889
02:49:01,180 --> 02:49:03,900
Let me make sure we can do two family amendments.

1890
02:49:05,160 --> 02:49:05,200
Yes.

1891
02:49:05,260 --> 02:49:05,420
Yes.

1892
02:49:06,320 --> 02:49:10,000
As I followed, you had a motion from the sponsor.

1893
02:49:10,280 --> 02:49:14,620
You had a substitute motion from Commissioner Spears.

1894
02:49:15,060 --> 02:49:19,660
Commissioner Spears accepted a friendly amendment from Commissioner Patrick.

1895
02:49:20,340 --> 02:49:23,980
And now Commissioner Davis Johnson is offering another friendly amendment.

1896
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:28,060
If Commissioner Spears accepts it, it can be accepted.

1897
02:49:29,180 --> 02:49:29,260
Okay.

1898
02:49:29,260 --> 02:49:30,920
Thank you for the clarification.

1899
02:49:32,840 --> 02:49:45,780
If the first proposal of a friend leave is comfortable with the 30 days, I will accept the second proposal of a friendly amendment, but I think he needs to maybe provide that.

1900
02:49:45,780 --> 02:49:46,300
I'm comfortable with that.

1901
02:49:46,560 --> 02:49:51,580
And the idea of us being collaborative and working towards a solution, I think is a good thing right there.

1902
02:49:52,220 --> 02:49:53,560
Okay. So if you're good with 30 days.

1903
02:49:53,880 --> 02:49:55,900
All right. So yes, ma'am, I will accept that friendly amendment.

1904
02:49:56,360 --> 02:49:56,840
Thank you.

1905
02:49:56,840 --> 02:49:59,960
Okay, and do you can see your time commissioning day was done?

1906
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:05,360
All right. Thank you. So, still going off first round. So, next for first round is Commissioner Terry.

1907
02:50:08,260 --> 02:50:31,060
Thank you. Madam chair. I was at the last text meeting where this was discussed. I believe, Zach Chief Patrick was going to provide an SOP on how to cap police would handle the enforcement of this ordinance. So, is that it's been completed or that they need more time?

1908
02:50:31,060 --> 02:50:32,780
Right, so that has not been completed.

1909
02:50:32,960 --> 02:50:34,880
I believe that that was working.

1910
02:50:35,300 --> 02:50:37,440
It would be done post adoption.

1911
02:50:37,720 --> 02:50:40,200
We could certainly do it in advance.

1912
02:50:41,020 --> 02:50:43,960
But I think the thinking was, if the board adopts it,

1913
02:50:44,020 --> 02:50:45,840
then we would have to put in place in SOP.

1914
02:50:47,080 --> 02:50:53,060
Well, I think it would be good for us to have a little foresight.

1915
02:50:54,260 --> 02:50:56,140
I'd hate to pass a law and then not

1916
02:50:56,140 --> 02:50:59,940
know exactly how it's going to be enforced or implemented.

1917
02:50:59,940 --> 02:51:04,900
I think all of us are concerned about all of the issues,

1918
02:51:05,100 --> 02:51:07,980
really, the homelessness, certainly commiserate with anyone

1919
02:51:07,980 --> 02:51:10,940
that's been accosted or harassed.

1920
02:51:11,740 --> 02:51:14,520
That does happen, and it probably happens a lot.

1921
02:51:15,160 --> 02:51:17,560
But at the same time, we know that a lot of individuals

1922
02:51:17,560 --> 02:51:19,320
are really struggling out there.

1923
02:51:20,280 --> 02:51:24,380
And so, visits by the outreach team, visit by the crisis team,

1924
02:51:25,240 --> 02:51:28,100
and then also visits by the police, are our ways to interact

1925
02:51:28,100 --> 02:51:34,560
with individuals where the public is not equipped to deal with that situation other than maybe

1926
02:51:34,560 --> 02:51:40,680
buy them some gas or get them some water. Really what they're needing is a level of service

1927
02:51:40,680 --> 02:51:49,440
and wrap around treatment that hopefully addresses the root issue that's involved. The

1928
02:51:49,440 --> 02:51:54,880
fat committee has been discussing this issue in particular and I'll just throw out three numbers

1929
02:51:54,880 --> 02:52:00,180
for everyone's consideration. I had brought this up before to the Board of Commissioners, but

1930
02:52:00,180 --> 02:52:10,800
700 people, 400 days, and $28 million. 700 people at any one time throughout a calendar year

1931
02:52:11,400 --> 02:52:18,100
are in the DeCab County jail for a criminal trespass arrest, which means they were arrested on

1932
02:52:18,100 --> 02:52:25,280
private property, not public private property, private property, that also have a diagnosis

1933
02:52:25,280 --> 02:52:28,760
of a mental health condition or a substance abuse issue.

1934
02:52:31,140 --> 02:52:37,160
Because the State Department, DVHDD, has been behind on their evaluations, those individuals

1935
02:52:37,160 --> 02:52:40,480
are in the Cap County jail for an average of 400 days.

1936
02:52:41,120 --> 02:52:46,220
So earlier, when we heard public comment about the cost, the Sheriff's Department through

1937
02:52:46,220 --> 02:52:53,020
Director Karim Martin, the Chief Health Officer, has provided a number of $28 million that we

1938
02:52:53,020 --> 02:53:00,020
provide to the Sheriff's budget to basically fund that census and that demographic.

1939
02:53:01,560 --> 02:53:08,400
I think the reason why the SOP is so important is that one, we already know that homeless individuals

1940
02:53:08,400 --> 02:53:11,840
are being arrested for being homeless on private property.

1941
02:53:11,840 --> 02:53:18,480
And it is resulting in during a calendar year, 700 people that are in our care.

1942
02:53:19,240 --> 02:53:23,940
We heard from Judge Jacobs, who actually shared with us that he's received these cases

1943
02:53:23,940 --> 02:53:31,540
in state court and has given bail under state law, cash bail is required for a whole host

1944
02:53:31,540 --> 02:53:39,100
of new offenses, including this one, which would be like a trespass, and even when he

1945
02:53:39,100 --> 02:53:47,640
the bail at $1 individuals are not able to fulfill that $1 and of course, even if they could,

1946
02:53:48,220 --> 02:53:56,140
once they're released where they go, as also as mentioned. I have been advocating for a new and

1947
02:53:56,140 --> 02:54:03,600
expanded crisis center for going on six years now, Zach. We made the decision a couple months back

1948
02:54:03,600 --> 02:54:06,540
to take the 15 million for mental health facilities

1949
02:54:06,540 --> 02:54:10,240
and dispersant to other programs, not in the crisis center.

1950
02:54:10,780 --> 02:54:12,340
So we're kind of at square one.

1951
02:54:12,840 --> 02:54:16,940
But I think we have an opportunity to create a hybrid approach

1952
02:54:16,940 --> 02:54:20,740
where we could have a crisis and diversion center

1953
02:54:20,740 --> 02:54:24,320
that would allow 10, 13s and 10, 14s to be received.

1954
02:54:24,420 --> 02:54:30,280
And so in other words, an officer that might respond to an urban camp

1955
02:54:30,280 --> 02:54:38,800
on a public, you know, right away or in a park would have the discretion to say, I will detain

1956
02:54:38,800 --> 02:54:43,120
this person under a 10, 13, 10, 10, 14, but instead of taking them to be booked into the

1957
02:54:43,120 --> 02:54:47,360
Cap County jail, which then begins the whole thing that I just talked about. They're going to

1958
02:54:47,360 --> 02:54:51,220
the diversion center, and hopefully through that diversion center, they're getting treatment,

1959
02:54:51,480 --> 02:54:59,960
they're getting temporary housing, and then as all of us up here have supported, we're trying to

1960
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:05,540
The report of housing and just more housing of affordable varieties moving forward.

1961
02:55:06,000 --> 02:55:10,940
So I think those few things are going to be important before we move forward on this.

1962
02:55:11,200 --> 02:55:11,340
Thank you.

1963
02:55:14,100 --> 02:55:17,320
So Commissioner Longspirers, you're next for your second opportunity.

1964
02:55:19,360 --> 02:55:22,540
Thank you very much. I appreciate that Madam President Officer.

1965
02:55:22,540 --> 02:55:34,280
I do want to express to two of my colleagues Commissioner Patrick Commissioner Davis, Johnson, for recognizing the complexity of this issue and that we just need more time.

1966
02:55:35,340 --> 02:55:46,900
All right, we, I was provided an analysis of the current urban camping ordinance, or at least the one prior to the substitute, which was sent to us by email yesterday.

1967
02:55:46,900 --> 02:55:54,180
And there are several points that I wanted to elevate to the community I am limited on time, so I will be brief and move quickly.

1968
02:55:54,960 --> 02:56:00,840
The very first item does relate to the resolution for effective response to homelessness.

1969
02:56:01,980 --> 02:56:06,020
A 24-1233 that was adopted in January of 2026.

1970
02:56:07,100 --> 02:56:14,000
I believe that the substitute that was distributed may be addressing that piece,

1971
02:56:14,000 --> 02:56:20,300
piece, or that's the substitute piece, the addition to the substitute that was distributed

1972
02:56:20,300 --> 02:56:22,320
to us today, and then previously last night.

1973
02:56:23,580 --> 02:56:27,780
The concerns there were recommending, actually, let me just skip through and I'll come

1974
02:56:27,780 --> 02:56:28,980
back if I have more time.

1975
02:56:29,440 --> 02:56:34,860
The second suggestion we'd like for the sponsor and this board to consider over the next 30

1976
02:56:34,860 --> 02:56:41,540
days is to cap public safety capacity to enforce this legislation as severely limited, including

1977
02:56:41,540 --> 02:56:47,720
space at the jail as been previously noted by our sheriff. Point 3 to cab county and its

1978
02:56:47,720 --> 02:56:52,840
unhouse service partners are currently dedicating numerous resources via the unhouse plan

1979
02:56:52,840 --> 02:56:58,120
to follow through on the joint policy statement, resolution by designing coordinating and launching

1980
02:56:58,120 --> 02:57:03,240
a collaborative systemic service-based approach to reduce the number of unhoused families

1981
02:57:03,240 --> 02:57:08,920
and individuals into cab county. This ordinance will undermine the work being done before it can

1982
02:57:08,920 --> 02:57:15,340
be implemented, wasting the substantial county and service partner resources being allocated to it,

1983
02:57:15,520 --> 02:57:21,020
by replacing it with explicit criminalization and little accountability for our diversionary

1984
02:57:21,020 --> 02:57:25,540
priority area already established by the Board of Commissioners.

1985
02:57:26,020 --> 02:57:31,660
Point four, the version of the legislation that has been in front of us since June again,

1986
02:57:31,840 --> 02:57:37,760
the substitute received last night distributed today. This is the legislation before the commission

1987
02:57:37,760 --> 02:57:43,440
has no substantial modification since being introduced, despite clear desire from county departments

1988
02:57:43,440 --> 02:57:48,400
and stakeholders to do so, I did read comments from Dr. Ferguson. I also have comments

1989
02:57:48,400 --> 02:57:52,780
from Director Mitchell as well. The result of adopting this ordinance will be a fully

1990
02:57:53,660 --> 02:57:58,740
contradictory set of vague and unaccountable directives, forcing law enforcement to interpret

1991
02:57:58,740 --> 02:58:01,200
and navigate competing goals.

1992
02:58:01,900 --> 02:58:06,200
Number four, proposed legislation does not consider the real life impact of its enforcement

1993
02:58:06,200 --> 02:58:11,440
on unhoused persons, or how it could exacerbate conditions causing people to be unhoused.

1994
02:58:12,400 --> 02:58:15,780
I'd like to leave you guys with this.

1995
02:58:16,860 --> 02:58:21,160
Director Mitchell did stated in email that, in his opinion, the current urban campaign

1996
02:58:21,160 --> 02:58:23,920
ordinance, which was received on June 8.

1997
02:58:25,600 --> 02:58:27,380
Thank you very much.

1998
02:58:27,540 --> 02:58:28,160
I yield back.

1999
02:58:28,420 --> 02:58:28,600
All right.

2000
02:58:28,740 --> 02:58:30,340
Can I share my sigh for your second opportunity?

2001
02:58:30,460 --> 02:58:31,900
Thank you so much again.

2002
02:58:32,200 --> 02:58:32,980
I just reiterate.

2003
02:58:32,980 --> 02:58:39,280
This isn't a focus on attacking the on-house and a housing ordinance.

2004
02:58:39,720 --> 02:58:45,700
This is more to address certain behaviors that pose a risk of public safety.

2005
02:58:46,700 --> 02:58:51,360
I'm not certain why, you know, many times it's been reiterated and the opportunity

2006
02:58:51,360 --> 02:58:59,540
over the last 60 days, most of the pegs meeting that my colleague here in opposition has missed.

2007
02:58:59,540 --> 02:59:12,380
There's been plenty of opportunity to make suggestions for changes that, and to discuss and accept the fact that this is not focusing on jailing the un-house.

2008
02:59:13,100 --> 02:59:24,640
As with any issue related to trespassing and the like, our officers are afforded opportunity to use discretion.

2009
02:59:24,640 --> 02:59:32,160
It doesn't mean that people have to go from zero to 60 and go to jail or that they have to go to jail at all.

2010
02:59:32,480 --> 02:59:39,280
So this idea that it's jailing the un-house is grossly misleading and incorrect.

2011
02:59:39,860 --> 02:59:43,880
There is a difference between panhandling and vagrancy.

2012
02:59:45,440 --> 02:59:50,480
So some people do panhandle as Commissioner Davis Johnson had suggested.

2013
02:59:50,480 --> 02:59:55,700
Sometimes people are down on their look and at the gas station just need a couple of dollars.

2014
02:59:56,120 --> 02:59:58,260
However, and they will ask.

2015
02:59:58,820 --> 02:59:59,840
And accept a note.

2016
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:13,440
However, there are some people that will stay at a particular location and harass individuals and make it difficult for them to just go into their local gas station to get gas in the morning.

2017
03:00:13,840 --> 03:00:26,580
And to that, what we want to do is make sure we are addressing the opportunity for our officers who realize that in the folks that have an issue with it to say, it is creating a safety challenge for me.

2018
03:00:26,580 --> 03:00:29,700
And I need it to stop police.

2019
03:00:30,300 --> 03:00:32,760
Again, this is not an attack on the House.

2020
03:00:33,260 --> 03:00:36,020
I wish that my colleague here to,

2021
03:00:36,820 --> 03:00:38,960
that's an opposition was at our last peck meeting

2022
03:00:38,960 --> 03:00:41,300
because that joint statement

2023
03:00:41,300 --> 03:00:44,580
was included in paragraph four.

2024
03:00:44,920 --> 03:00:48,060
And that comes specifically based on the conversations

2025
03:00:48,060 --> 03:00:50,500
that have been had with our,

2026
03:00:50,500 --> 03:00:52,460
the folks from our sheriff's department

2027
03:00:52,460 --> 03:00:55,000
from our police department

2028
03:00:55,000 --> 03:00:58,620
and also being present in our PEX meeting.

2029
03:00:59,240 --> 03:01:03,700
And so not participating in just standing on the idea

2030
03:01:03,700 --> 03:01:07,180
that is attacking the unhoused and trying to jail the unhoused

2031
03:01:07,180 --> 03:01:09,680
is misrepresenting the situation

2032
03:01:09,680 --> 03:01:11,920
and I think that it should stop.

2033
03:01:12,520 --> 03:01:14,780
We have to address this concern.

2034
03:01:15,360 --> 03:01:17,240
We don't want what happened in Atlanta

2035
03:01:17,240 --> 03:01:19,960
to unfortunately happen to another person

2036
03:01:19,960 --> 03:01:23,760
and we want to be in compliance with what's being requested

2037
03:01:23,760 --> 03:01:32,600
and mandated to be quite frank from HB-295. This is a footing, our officers, to use discretion

2038
03:01:32,600 --> 03:01:34,720
as they do always. Thank you.

2039
03:01:34,820 --> 03:01:38,320
Thank you, Mr. Messiah. Mr. Terry, your second opportunity.

2040
03:01:39,280 --> 03:01:48,040
Thank you, Madam Chair. Zach, can you update us on how many members of the outreach team

2041
03:01:48,040 --> 03:01:51,260
or how many outreach team, I guess, staff do we have currently

2042
03:01:52,460 --> 03:01:54,400
that covers unincorporated cab gang?

2043
03:01:54,560 --> 03:01:55,220
I'm very close around.

2044
03:01:55,300 --> 03:01:57,620
Yeah, I want to say four off the top of my head commissioner,

2045
03:01:57,860 --> 03:01:58,680
but I'll double check.

2046
03:02:00,860 --> 03:02:03,560
And then there's some with frontline.

2047
03:02:04,040 --> 03:02:05,220
I don't know that number though.

2048
03:02:07,240 --> 03:02:11,320
So I think that one of the other concerns

2049
03:02:13,460 --> 03:02:22,540
with the implementation of the ordinance is if an officer responds to a situation, then

2050
03:02:23,110 --> 03:02:30,900
do they have a place to send someone or they call in, you know, the crisis team, Clare

2051
03:02:30,900 --> 03:02:33,600
Tell, that outreach team.

2052
03:02:34,300 --> 03:02:38,920
So in other words, it's not treated as a crime, it's treated as a, we're responding to

2053
03:02:38,920 --> 03:02:41,040
situation that someone has concerned about, right?

2054
03:02:41,120 --> 03:02:43,860
Someone is acting erratically on the sidewalk.

2055
03:02:44,120 --> 03:02:46,020
Or maybe they put up a tent on the sidewalk.

2056
03:02:46,540 --> 03:02:48,220
And we don't know what's going on.

2057
03:02:48,440 --> 03:02:49,680
Officers might respond.

2058
03:02:50,700 --> 03:02:53,140
But then, you know, is the backup there to say,

2059
03:02:53,460 --> 03:02:55,040
actually, we don't need to send someone to jail

2060
03:02:55,040 --> 03:02:55,620
or rest them.

2061
03:02:55,720 --> 03:02:56,800
We have the day center.

2062
03:02:56,860 --> 03:02:58,080
We have front lawn.

2063
03:02:58,100 --> 03:03:02,100
We have other things that are working on that can intercede.

2064
03:03:03,140 --> 03:03:05,560
So it's a co-responder model.

2065
03:03:05,560 --> 03:03:12,440
So that's kind of what I'm looking for from the administration in response to this ordinance

2066
03:03:12,440 --> 03:03:17,600
is if this past, would there have to be an expanded co-responder system,

2067
03:03:17,820 --> 03:03:19,860
but we have to have more outreach team members?

2068
03:03:20,860 --> 03:03:25,140
Because I assume right now if someone wants to report an incantment,

2069
03:03:26,020 --> 03:03:28,380
is it your advice that they call 911?

2070
03:03:28,920 --> 03:03:30,220
Do they call 311?

2071
03:03:31,060 --> 03:03:32,860
Do they email commissioners?

2072
03:03:32,860 --> 03:03:39,760
How would the members person, I think 3-1-1 or we have an outreach number, I couldn't

2073
03:03:39,760 --> 03:03:46,280
recite off top of my head, but between our team and community development and frontline,

2074
03:03:46,480 --> 03:03:52,620
I think those would be more appropriate for the encampments or the person who looks as if

2075
03:03:52,620 --> 03:04:01,400
they need help in our system is designed fairly well for that and we do have our staff will go out

2076
03:04:01,400 --> 03:04:08,040
front line staff and offer assistance. That works well when one accepts the assistance.

2077
03:04:08,940 --> 03:04:11,900
When they don't accept the assistance, it's more complicated.

2078
03:04:13,080 --> 03:04:17,720
I think that's where I think a lot of folks, including myself, have concern with the

2079
03:04:17,720 --> 03:04:25,880
ordinance, is that other jurisdictions that have implemented similar laws, my research shows

2080
03:04:25,880 --> 03:04:30,720
that they do in fact incarcerate more individuals. And so we're just trying to follow the data

2081
03:04:30,720 --> 03:04:34,720
and the evidence, when urban camping law bans are passed,

2082
03:04:35,160 --> 03:04:36,220
more people are arrested,

2083
03:04:36,380 --> 03:04:38,460
and that's exactly what we've all agreed

2084
03:04:38,460 --> 03:04:39,600
that we don't want to see happen.

2085
03:04:41,100 --> 03:04:42,300
Thank you, Commissioner Terry.

2086
03:04:42,540 --> 03:04:45,540
Commissioner Davis, Johnson and your second opportunity to speak.

2087
03:04:49,250 --> 03:04:59,110
Yeah, so I'd like to just stay once more of that.

2088
03:04:59,130 --> 03:04:59,490
Housing.

2089
03:05:00,000 --> 03:05:07,460
The housing problem is not just the housing problem in the care county. It's the housing problem nationwide.

2090
03:05:09,020 --> 03:05:15,600
The middle health problem is just not a problem in the care county. It's nationwide.

2091
03:05:16,840 --> 03:05:22,940
I mean, this is something that the federal government started.

2092
03:05:22,940 --> 03:05:30,560
and the local governments are having to deal with it so it's not fair to put that

2093
03:05:30,560 --> 03:05:38,740
problem on one person or even this commission. But this commission must deal

2094
03:05:38,740 --> 03:05:50,100
with it as an effect to cap County and that's what we are trying to do. Take the

2095
03:05:50,100 --> 03:05:58,580
take side of it, take the publicity out of it, and let's deal with it. You know, middle

2096
03:05:58,580 --> 03:06:10,560
health. If you don't, and I do family law, if you don't take your medication that you

2097
03:06:10,560 --> 03:06:20,780
describe, to take, you can't force it. I have it in my family. If you don't take your

2098
03:06:20,780 --> 03:06:30,620
medication, you can injure someone. You can kill someone. You can main someone. Now, you

2099
03:06:30,620 --> 03:06:38,440
can talk about it in the abstract until an episode, or your family member. So, like I said,

2100
03:06:38,440 --> 03:06:47,420
is complex, is something that we ought to deal with, is something that was put upon us with

2101
03:06:47,420 --> 03:06:56,700
no funds. In fact the federal funds that they had for both housing and mental health is taken

2102
03:06:56,700 --> 03:07:05,180
away, has been taken away for months. So this is not a district problem. This is a national

2103
03:07:05,180 --> 03:07:10,980
problem, and if we treat it like we should treat it with compassion,

2104
03:07:13,310 --> 03:07:16,010
with humbleness, with

2105
03:07:16,010 --> 03:07:26,250
understanding, then we should be able to come to a resolution that is going to keep the public

2106
03:07:28,990 --> 03:07:40,030
And also is not going to jail the homeless for being homeless, you know, so that's my final thoughts.

2107
03:07:40,810 --> 03:07:41,370
Thank you, Commissioner.

2108
03:07:41,690 --> 03:07:42,910
We're really Davis Johnson.

2109
03:07:43,170 --> 03:07:44,310
Madam President, no officer.

2110
03:07:44,870 --> 03:07:45,950
Point of procedure, please.

2111
03:07:46,410 --> 03:07:46,890
Yes, ma'am.

2112
03:07:47,130 --> 03:07:47,730
Thank you.

2113
03:07:48,010 --> 03:07:55,650
It has been elevated that by the sponsor that this is not a housing issue, that it's a public safety issue.

2114
03:07:55,650 --> 03:07:57,910
So she doesn't have to respond now.

2115
03:07:58,070 --> 03:08:02,110
I just wonder if the chair of our public safety committee

2116
03:08:02,110 --> 03:08:04,750
would consider hearing this item and herbs.

2117
03:08:04,910 --> 03:08:05,990
Thank you, Neil Beck.

2118
03:08:06,690 --> 03:08:10,090
We will take that to consideration and talk about it offline.

2119
03:08:10,370 --> 03:08:11,330
Thank you very much.

2120
03:08:12,090 --> 03:08:14,310
So I just want to confirm, I believe,

2121
03:08:14,530 --> 03:08:16,390
the second friendly amendment was accepted

2122
03:08:16,390 --> 03:08:19,930
for a 30 day deferral commissioner long spears.

2123
03:08:20,250 --> 03:08:22,110
So does that mean September 29th?

2124
03:08:22,110 --> 03:08:23,190
I just want to make sure we're clear.

2125
03:08:23,190 --> 03:08:40,230
Yes, ma'am. September 29th with a stop in a committee that'd be willing to hear it. Thank you so much. So that is the motion on the floor attorney folks want to make sure the substitute item. Yes, this is what's being deferred. Right. Yes.

2126
03:08:41,110 --> 03:08:50,030
With the second friendly amendment 30 days of for all September 29th of the prior stop and committee. Please open machine for the

2127
03:08:54,770 --> 03:08:57,770
motion to defer carries. Thank you very much.

2128
03:08:57,770 --> 03:09:03,230
So we have two more items I'd like to get to, and then great for a working lunch.

2129
03:09:03,370 --> 03:09:09,830
We have executive session to discuss legislation, litigation, thank you, thank you,

2130
03:09:09,990 --> 03:09:10,330
ten folks.

2131
03:09:10,970 --> 03:09:18,450
So top of page 20, item 2026-1216 District 3, budget amendment to increase the general fund

2132
03:09:18,450 --> 03:09:23,050
for recreation parks and cultural affairs, sugar creak tennis and golf to address the

2133
03:09:23,050 --> 03:09:28,230
and retention wall for the third tennis court amount not to exceed $800,000.

2134
03:09:28,670 --> 03:09:29,230
Look for action.

2135
03:09:30,030 --> 03:09:33,050
I don't 2020-6-1-2-1-9.

2136
03:09:33,830 --> 03:09:38,750
Commission to Cirque-3 budget amendment to increase the general fund for recreation parks and cultural affairs,

2137
03:09:38,910 --> 03:09:41,210
for a Porter Center for Performing Arts and Community Center,

2138
03:09:42,090 --> 03:09:46,250
to address required equipment improvements in amount not to exceed $79,000.

2139
03:09:46,970 --> 03:09:52,370
moved for action, motion to defer agenda items ending in 12, 16 and 12, 19, the September

2140
03:09:52,370 --> 03:09:59,970
15, VOC meeting as it was improved in PECS. But I think that it was all.

2141
03:10:00,000 --> 03:10:15,060
Also, I want to point, discuss in fab as well. The fab chair was there, present. Are you fine with this just being in pecs and is there more discussion that you want to have or in around it?

2142
03:10:17,670 --> 03:10:26,410
I think we were waiting on, I think we were waiting on Zach and TJ to come back to the fab committee on just sort of the budget sources or the funding source, I just say.

2143
03:10:26,410 --> 03:10:28,650
So I think what we're right now,

2144
03:10:28,750 --> 03:10:29,850
pecs is recommended approval.

2145
03:10:29,970 --> 03:10:34,070
It's now in fab for the next step in the budget process.

2146
03:10:34,770 --> 03:10:36,170
So we're happy to hear that afternoon

2147
03:10:36,170 --> 03:10:39,870
if the administration has any updates on their end.

2148
03:10:40,850 --> 03:10:41,450
All right, thank you.

2149
03:10:41,530 --> 03:10:44,290
So the motion is to defer until September 15th.

2150
03:10:44,610 --> 03:10:46,150
With the prior stop and fact.

2151
03:10:46,550 --> 03:10:46,810
Thank you.

2152
03:10:47,670 --> 03:10:48,150
Second.

2153
03:10:48,910 --> 03:10:50,050
And that's for both items.

2154
03:10:50,730 --> 03:10:52,290
Please open the machine for the vote.

2155
03:10:56,220 --> 03:10:57,000
Thank you so much.

2156
03:10:57,480 --> 03:10:59,880
If I can get a motion for executive session,

2157
03:10:59,880 --> 03:11:04,560
So moved to the second picture button, and that is for litigation.

2158
03:11:08,420 --> 03:11:10,040
He's open the machine for the vote.

2159
03:11:13,240 --> 03:11:16,360
We are an executive session that is a working watch.

2160
03:11:19,520 --> 03:11:20,020
Good to see you.

2161
04:01:08,240 --> 04:01:15,680
Good afternoon, everybody. If I can get a motion to reconvene, so moved. We need hit our buttons, ma'am.

2162
04:01:18,920 --> 04:01:19,960
Thank you.

2163
04:01:24,800 --> 04:01:36,320
Building is open. Thank you so much. We are back. There was no action to be taken out of executive session. So we will continue. We are at the bottom of page 20.

2164
04:01:36,320 --> 04:01:39,280
A district six item, but it's in PEX.

2165
04:01:39,880 --> 04:01:44,480
Item 2025-0015, all-commissioned districts.

2166
04:01:45,180 --> 04:01:47,180
An ordinance to amend the code of the cab county

2167
04:01:47,180 --> 04:01:50,440
Georgia chapter 16 pertaining to regulation of sound

2168
04:01:50,440 --> 04:01:51,880
and for other purposes.

2169
04:01:52,160 --> 04:01:54,620
Well, for action, thank you, man.

2170
04:01:55,700 --> 04:02:00,860
That moves us over to page 23.

2171
04:02:00,860 --> 04:02:09,800
I don't 2025-0017 all commission districts a resolution to create an electric landscape

2172
04:02:09,800 --> 04:02:16,660
maintenance device rebate program to encourage switching from gas power to landscape maintenance devices

2173
04:02:16,660 --> 04:02:19,000
and for other lawful purposes.

2174
04:02:19,000 --> 04:02:31,120
Move for action, Madam Peo, I moved to defer agenda item ending in 0 0 1 5 and 0 0 1 7 to our September 15th BOC meeting.

2175
04:02:31,900 --> 04:02:39,960
It is still being held in committee for the sponsor to make some final decisions before we move this along and bring it to the rest of the board.

2176
04:02:40,620 --> 04:02:41,540
Thank you for the second.

2177
04:02:41,540 --> 04:02:45,200
Seconded by Commissioner Long Spears, please open the machine for the vote.

2178
04:02:50,040 --> 04:03:03,940
motion to defer carries, we are now page 25. I'm on 2025-1525, all-commissioned districts, in

04:03:18,910 --> 04:03:19,630
motion to table.

2182
04:03:19,630 --> 04:03:21,530
Thank you.

2183
04:03:24,360 --> 04:03:26,020
Thank you so much.

2184
04:03:27,780 --> 04:03:28,240
Thank you madam.

2185
04:03:28,460 --> 04:03:29,280
Deputy Presiding Officer.

2186
04:03:29,640 --> 04:03:31,840
You'll help me remember to take it off the table if we can.

2187
04:03:33,500 --> 04:03:34,040
That's

2188
04:03:40,570 --> 04:03:40,590
okay.

2189
04:03:40,590 --> 04:03:41,890
Commissioner Davis Johnson.

2190
04:03:42,750 --> 04:03:43,010
Okay.

2191
04:03:43,610 --> 04:03:43,950
That's okay.

2192
04:03:44,190 --> 04:03:45,010
It still carries.

2193
04:03:46,490 --> 04:03:46,790
All right.

2194
04:03:46,790 --> 04:03:49,290
Now page 27.

2195
04:03:50,810 --> 04:03:54,870
It's also a fab item item 2026-0158.

2196
04:03:56,190 --> 04:03:59,050
Super district six of resolution to establish the

2197
04:03:59,050 --> 04:04:04,050
care for the people dividend fund and fiscal stability policy, and I think we need a table

2198
04:04:04,050 --> 04:04:09,790
this one as well. Motion to. Actually, I grabbed the motion on that. Give me a quick

2199
04:04:09,790 --> 04:04:12,710
second. I have the recommendations for Fab. I believe.

2200
04:04:15,580 --> 04:04:18,860
We're on 27. Yeah, so it looks like it was

2201
04:04:18,860 --> 04:04:24,440
recommended holding in committee. Hey, so the committee recommendation for the August 25th meeting,

2202
04:04:24,440 --> 04:04:30,440
which is today, is to defer to the September 15th BOC meeting and we'll be heard in Fab today.

2203
04:04:30,440 --> 04:04:36,380
Thank you. And I get some on the second that please. Second. Thank you.

2204
04:04:37,260 --> 04:04:41,060
All right. That is a motion to defer. Please open the machine for the vote.

2205
04:04:42,060 --> 04:04:48,560
The motion to defer carries. I'm in 2026-0244 all commission districts.

2206
04:04:49,220 --> 04:04:55,960
A resolution requiring an independent third party health environmental study of data centers and their possible impact on the cab county.

2207
04:04:55,960 --> 04:04:59,960
and Board of Commissioners review with a study before the cab county status and

2208
04:05:06,680 --> 04:05:24,200
The motion on the second, motion on the second. Thank you, ma'am. He's up the machine for the vote. I mean, we're getting real efficient, we're just a women, I'm just saying.

2209
04:05:26,890 --> 04:05:30,890
I had to say it. I had to say it. Keep hurry and hurry hurry hurry.

2210
04:05:31,990 --> 04:05:33,510
They'll be back.

2211
04:05:33,510 --> 04:05:33,950
I know.

2212
04:05:34,230 --> 04:05:34,770
Okay, sorry.

2213
04:05:35,270 --> 04:05:36,530
Top of page 29.

2214
04:05:37,470 --> 04:05:38,190
I know 26.

2215
04:05:39,970 --> 04:05:40,570
That's 0.

2216
04:05:40,890 --> 04:05:41,110
76.

2217
04:05:42,290 --> 04:05:43,590
All Commission districts.

2218
04:05:44,070 --> 04:05:49,250
Resolution requesting the administration established independent civil civilian oversight and

2219
04:05:49,250 --> 04:05:53,810
auditing for the Cap County's digital shield initiatives and surveillance infrastructure.

2220
04:05:54,090 --> 04:05:55,490
This isn't upside down.

2221
04:05:55,670 --> 04:05:56,190
Yes, ma'am.

2222
04:05:56,390 --> 04:06:01,050
I'm moved to defer this item to the September 29 BOC with a prior stop in

2223
04:06:01,050 --> 04:06:05,410
Second. Thank you. Open the machine for that locally.

2224
04:06:08,850 --> 04:06:10,850
And bottom of page 20 in line at Motion

2225
04:06:10,850 --> 04:06:18,510
carries. Item 2026-098 to all commission districts. A resolution urging the administration

2226
04:06:18,510 --> 04:06:23,750
implement the specific recommendations outlined in the the Cap County racial equity study

2227
04:06:23,750 --> 04:06:33,090
as adopted in 2025. This is PEX. Thank you so much. I believe it was supposed to

2228
04:06:33,090 --> 04:06:34,630
we had discussed for a drum,

2229
04:06:37,130 --> 04:06:43,030
the administration started implementing specific recommendations and

2230
04:06:43,030 --> 04:06:50,250
provided those to us from the study and at this point I think we were comfortable with

2231
04:06:50,250 --> 04:06:57,710
the implementation since our colleague and sponsor of the urgence is here. Is there anything

2232
04:06:57,710 --> 04:07:01,450
else that you wanted to add to that in terms of recommendations for this item?

2233
04:07:01,450 --> 04:07:04,370
So, we're on the racial equity study item.

2234
04:07:05,230 --> 04:07:08,850
Yes, I think C.O. Williams presented all things to their being done.

2235
04:07:08,930 --> 04:07:13,150
We don't have a motion, so we probably need a motion before we discuss that.

2236
04:07:14,650 --> 04:07:15,690
Motion to a draw.

2237
04:07:16,170 --> 04:07:17,850
Yes, is a motion to a draw.

2238
04:07:18,190 --> 04:07:18,730
All right.

2239
04:07:18,970 --> 04:07:20,670
Now, if you would like for this session.

2240
04:07:21,250 --> 04:07:21,470
Yes.

2241
04:07:21,830 --> 04:07:26,370
Mr. Williams, if the committee meeting you laid out all of the things that are being done as

2242
04:07:26,370 --> 04:07:29,330
or released to the study, so thank you for doing that.

2243
04:07:29,430 --> 04:07:30,130
It's very comprehensive.

2244
04:07:30,130 --> 04:07:46,750
I really appreciate that, and thank you to Commissioner Leary Johnson and Commissioner Massiah for being champions for these really important issues, and I look forward to seeing the next steps of the community inclusion manager.

2245
04:07:47,510 --> 04:07:53,970
Yeah, that's the right name for it. And when that person comes to my mind, are y'all already you're actively searching for that position?

2246
04:07:54,390 --> 04:07:54,550
Okay.

2247
04:07:55,130 --> 04:07:55,950
Very good. Thank you.

2248
04:07:55,950 --> 04:07:56,550
Thank you.

2249
04:07:56,730 --> 04:07:56,750
Thank you.

2250
04:07:56,770 --> 04:07:59,390
Thank you very much.

2251
04:07:59,790 --> 04:08:05,390
Since this board is recommending withdrawal of this item, Mr. Williams, would you mind coming

2252
04:08:05,390 --> 04:08:09,970
to the podium and just telling the public why you suggested this was our best course

2253
04:08:09,970 --> 04:08:10,570
of action?

2254
04:08:11,370 --> 04:08:11,610
And what?

2255
04:08:11,670 --> 04:08:12,390
We're very grateful.

2256
04:08:12,470 --> 04:08:15,010
The administration is doing right now to carry this work for us.

2257
04:08:15,210 --> 04:08:15,270
Yes.

2258
04:08:15,430 --> 04:08:19,170
Thank you, Madam Residing Officer, to Commissioner Long Superior's question.

2259
04:08:19,170 --> 04:08:28,410
We feel that when we don't need a specific resolution, the fact is those elements of the

2260
04:08:28,410 --> 04:08:35,350
racial equity study that was completed a couple years back, the administration is actively

2261
04:08:35,350 --> 04:08:37,730
engaged in implementing.

2262
04:08:39,070 --> 04:08:46,710
So we just didn't even necessarily have an urging resolution or something to discuss things

2263
04:08:46,710 --> 04:08:47,270
that are happening.

2264
04:08:47,270 --> 04:08:54,070
So we have posted things on the website that allows for employees to gain additional information.

2265
04:08:54,350 --> 04:08:55,930
We've implemented training.

2266
04:08:56,410 --> 04:09:03,830
As Commissioner Terry mentioned, we're actively pursuing the hiring of an inclusion manager who will assist in these types of activities.

2267
04:09:04,550 --> 04:09:05,410
So the work is ongoing.

2268
04:09:05,790 --> 04:09:09,850
We're embracing the attendance of the original study.

2269
04:09:10,670 --> 04:09:11,990
So nothing further was needed.

2270
04:09:13,330 --> 04:09:18,850
Thank you, Sarah. I yield back. Thank you so much. Seeing no further requests to speak. Please open the

2271
04:09:18,850 --> 04:09:20,690
chain for the vote.

2272
04:09:26,340 --> 04:09:27,740
Motion to withdraw carries.

2273
04:09:28,100 --> 04:09:35,440
Medal of page 30. Item 2026-0218. All commission districts to establish where the regulatory

2274
04:09:35,440 --> 04:09:41,260
oversight of blasting operations into Cap County through the adoption of a control blasting

2275
04:09:41,260 --> 04:09:46,800
and safety ordinance to promote public safety environmental protection and community stability

2276
04:09:46,800 --> 04:09:54,380
for other purposes. On behalf of the Arts Committee, I proudly move to approve items

2277
04:09:54,380 --> 04:09:59,960
0-1-8. Then you are also the sponsor, right? Yes.

2278
04:10:00,000 --> 04:10:06,160
District 5 and District 7. Can you give her the honor of allowing her to have that second?

2279
04:10:06,800 --> 04:10:13,680
I was actually pushing my microphone. Thank you so much.

2280
04:10:13,920 --> 04:10:17,040
It's precious. I had to listen to us so much.

2281
04:10:19,820 --> 04:10:23,720
Thank you so much. Attorney Welch, welcome back.

2282
04:10:24,760 --> 04:10:31,960
Thank you, I think, apologies, but law needs an little additional time to look at this item.

2283
04:10:32,420 --> 04:10:37,020
There is one cross-reference, including in this item, to the sound ordinance.

2284
04:10:37,420 --> 04:10:41,920
The sound ordinance is being heard as I understand it impacts, and will be up for consideration

2285
04:10:41,920 --> 04:10:42,620
shortly.

2286
04:10:43,240 --> 04:10:48,020
We'd like to make sure that that cross-reference matches, whatever changes may or may not

2287
04:10:48,020 --> 04:10:53,240
be adopted to the sound ordinance, so we would ask that this item be deferred.

2288
04:10:53,240 --> 04:10:59,240
Let's sound moved first and then we'll move this in conformance with that as quickly as we possibly can.

2289
04:11:02,800 --> 04:11:12,020
So that is something that came up in committee and it only makes a reference but it doesn't speak to any of the sound regulations.

2290
04:11:13,180 --> 04:11:20,920
So the reference should support the item regardless of any changes that may be made.

2291
04:11:20,920 --> 04:11:26,900
I think our concern is important that it makes across reference that may not exist, depending

2292
04:11:26,900 --> 04:11:31,060
on what the final version of the sound ordinance actually looks like.

2293
04:11:31,420 --> 04:11:35,440
So we want to make sure that there's full consistency between the two provisions.

2294
04:11:37,780 --> 04:11:41,120
Okay, let's remove it and then we can come back in a minute, the ordinance.

2295
04:11:41,780 --> 04:11:43,060
Remove the reference?

2296
04:11:43,260 --> 04:11:44,620
Yep, remove the reference.

2297
04:11:45,520 --> 04:11:53,900
We've been waiting for months on another piece of legislation that

2298
04:11:58,480 --> 04:12:00,360
is not under the jurisdiction

2299
04:12:00,360 --> 04:12:01,680
of the U.S. Committee,

2300
04:12:12,500 --> 04:12:18,920
or amend the language to say if a sound ordinance is approved

2301
04:12:18,920 --> 04:12:21,500
or exists,

2302
04:12:33,010 --> 04:12:34,950
blasting is currently happening.

2303
04:12:40,770 --> 04:12:43,150
Obviously, the board can do as it chooses.

2304
04:12:43,790 --> 04:12:50,090
I would again recommend that this are review be provided before it be adopted, I apologize

2305
04:12:50,090 --> 04:12:50,970
for the delay.

2306
04:12:51,510 --> 04:12:55,670
I don't know why the red line didn't make it to you all, but we do have suggested changes

2307
04:12:55,670 --> 04:12:58,970
to this item that we would like you to consider before adopting it.

2308
04:13:01,400 --> 04:13:04,060
Suggested changes specifically for the reference.

2309
04:13:06,750 --> 04:13:09,310
To be frank, this item isn't even an ordinance format.

2310
04:13:09,650 --> 04:13:11,130
We had formatting suggestions.

2311
04:13:11,130 --> 04:13:17,190
We have language suggestions. We have multiple suggestions. I apologize. I've been out for multiple months.

2312
04:13:17,270 --> 04:13:24,330
I can't tell you why the red line didn't get to you. But we have suggested changes that we believe you should consider before you adopted.

2313
04:13:24,910 --> 04:13:28,210
If you choose not to do that, we will recommend an amendment to conform.

2314
04:13:33,640 --> 04:13:35,880
I'm turning off my microphone for a quick take.

2315
04:13:36,100 --> 04:13:40,320
All right. I will go to Commissioner Terry. Is request to the speed?

2316
04:13:44,120 --> 04:13:52,240
So, you sent the red line just to Commissioner Bolton, for you sent to all of us, or you

2317
04:13:52,240 --> 04:13:55,020
had not sent that red line as we were saying, but there is one.

2318
04:13:55,700 --> 04:13:59,740
To the best that I can determine in my review of my emails, the red line has not been provided

2319
04:13:59,740 --> 04:14:00,620
to you all.

2320
04:14:01,200 --> 04:14:01,480
Gotcha.

2321
04:14:01,840 --> 04:14:02,040
All right.

2322
04:14:02,220 --> 04:14:02,920
Thank you.

2323
04:14:07,140 --> 04:14:09,080
Commissioner Bolton, did your motion stand?

2324
04:14:13,860 --> 04:14:14,260
Okay.

2325
04:14:15,300 --> 04:14:22,980
I'd like to table the item and if you could forward that so if I can see if those changes

2326
04:14:22,980 --> 04:14:24,120
are significant.

2327
04:14:25,580 --> 04:14:27,480
So you're a mending emotion to table.

2328
04:14:27,800 --> 04:14:28,300
Yes, please.

2329
04:14:28,580 --> 04:14:29,480
Your second stand.

2330
04:14:29,860 --> 04:14:30,700
Thank you so much.

2331
04:14:31,760 --> 04:14:34,340
Please open the machine for the votes,

2332
04:14:41,750 --> 04:14:43,230
emotion to table carries.

2333
04:14:44,510 --> 04:14:57,210
Page 31, Adam 2026-113-2, all commission districts consent to the sub-lease and modification of portions of the Kirkwood Mental Health Center,

2336

2337
04:15:11,160 --> 04:15:15,640
Did you know a health care LLC for use as pharmacies? And this is PIX.

2338
04:15:16,120 --> 04:15:22,400
What's your tip for of as of this pandemic? Thank you. Thank you so much. Please open

2339

2345
04:16:11,350 --> 04:16:17,110
As we told you last fab, we'd be coming back with the bids that we received on Friday.

2346
04:16:18,290 --> 04:16:23,950
We're happy to report we received eight bids, which is very good.

2347
04:16:23,950 --> 04:16:35,450
from 15-year to 20-year maturedies, actually a couple of 25s, but we selected a 20-year matured

2348
04:16:37,070 --> 04:16:44,130
with Regens Bank at 5.7-7. So, which were very happy with

2349
04:16:46,940 --> 04:16:47,800
any questions.

2350
04:16:48,580 --> 04:16:55,520
So, we are being handed to the substitute, which is the agenda item with the appropriate

2351
04:16:55,520 --> 04:16:59,600
numbers filled in. Yes, so I'm going to reread it to make sure we're all clear.

2352
04:16:59,880 --> 04:17:06,720
The resolution with the numbers filled in and also the IGA with it's with it's

2353
04:17:06,720 --> 04:17:13,060
correct. Thank you so much. So this is the substitute for out on 2026-1214, a supplemental

2354
04:17:13,060 --> 04:17:17,300
resolution, improving the issuance of the housing authority of the county of the CAV Georgia

2355
04:17:17,300 --> 04:17:24,020
taxable revenue bonds, housing investment bond program, series 2026, in the aggregate principle

2356
04:17:24,020 --> 04:17:29,940
amount of $25 million for the purpose of funding that has the investment bond program and

2357
04:17:29,940 --> 04:17:35,000
authorizing the execution and delivery of an intergovernmental housing cooperation agreement

2358
04:17:35,000 --> 04:17:38,980
between the county and the housing authority of the county of DeCap Georgia.

2359
04:17:41,280 --> 04:17:42,060
I'm sorry.

2360
04:17:42,560 --> 04:17:42,760
I'm sorry.

2361
04:17:42,960 --> 04:17:43,300
I'm sorry.

2362
04:17:44,160 --> 04:17:44,600
I'm sorry.

2363
04:17:45,360 --> 04:17:45,660
I'm sorry.

2364
04:17:45,660 --> 04:17:46,040
I'm sorry.

2365
04:17:46,280 --> 04:17:46,460
I'm sorry.

2366
04:17:48,160 --> 04:17:49,360
I'm sorry.

2367
04:17:52,260 --> 04:17:53,460
I'm sorry.

2368
04:17:53,460 --> 04:17:59,300
Thank you, Mr. Atkins.

2369
04:18:01,710 --> 04:18:07,470
Yes, I was looking for the sheet with all the other bits on it.

2370
04:18:08,350 --> 04:18:10,470
I can provide that to you.

2371
04:18:10,470 --> 04:18:12,750
I was curious about what the other bits were.

2372
04:18:12,830 --> 04:18:18,830
I could tell they ranged from about the 15 year from about 5.41 to 6.45.

2373
04:18:18,830 --> 04:18:28,410
But there were items like puts and mandatory tenders and things that affect our decision

2374
04:18:28,410 --> 04:18:31,550
between you and Director McNab, which I'll translate.

2375
04:18:32,770 --> 04:18:34,570
What those words mean?

2376
04:18:35,630 --> 04:18:37,710
All these other bits came with a bunch of stirrings.

2377
04:18:39,010 --> 04:18:39,230
Okay.

2378
04:18:42,350 --> 04:18:47,930
And this was the lowest cost considering how we normally call bonds.

2379
04:18:47,930 --> 04:18:49,970
It has a 10-year car call.

2380
04:18:50,950 --> 04:18:54,650
So the likelihood is, interest rates will be lower in 10 years

2381
04:18:54,650 --> 04:18:57,010
when those are callable than they are right now.

2382
04:18:57,310 --> 04:19:01,950
And so we anticipate that we would refinance these bonds at 10 years.

2383
04:19:02,750 --> 04:19:05,830
And this was the option that had the lowest interest rate

2384
04:19:05,830 --> 04:19:08,490
and the most flexible ability.

2385
04:19:09,010 --> 04:19:11,210
Yeah, it was clean with about a bunch of,

2386
04:19:11,410 --> 04:19:14,910
we're going to calculate the cost of capital kind of thing.

2387
04:19:14,910 --> 04:19:21,930
The interest rates may seem a little hot to you, but that's because it's a taxable bond issue instead of tax exempt.

2388
04:19:24,210 --> 04:19:24,490
Okay.

2389
04:19:24,490 --> 04:19:24,590
Gotcha.

2390
04:19:28,050 --> 04:19:28,350
All right.

2391
04:19:28,430 --> 04:19:29,330
That's all the questions I had.

2392
04:19:29,630 --> 04:19:29,890
Thank you.

2393
04:19:29,910 --> 04:19:30,570
Thank you, Commissioner.

2394
04:19:30,850 --> 04:19:31,930
I'm sorry.

2395
04:19:32,130 --> 04:19:32,810
You're first opportunity.

2396
04:19:33,190 --> 04:19:34,170
Thank you so much.

2397
04:19:34,510 --> 04:19:36,330
I'm just a couple of quick things.

2398
04:19:36,810 --> 04:19:38,710
I think this will be more.

2399
04:19:39,390 --> 04:19:42,810
Dr. Ferguson was in attendance a little earlier.

2400
04:19:42,810 --> 04:19:49,790
don't see him here, but I see we have as exhibit A7, the transitional housing and extended

2401
04:19:49,790 --> 04:19:59,970
stay hotel program that was supposed to be the same in terms of vehicles, supposed to be

2402
04:20:00,000 --> 04:20:09,020
Let's see that as a part of this. So, it seems like C-O-O will be able to speak to that. And then I have another question

2403
04:20:09,020 --> 04:20:10,740
in terms of the eminent domain.

2404
04:20:17,540 --> 04:20:18,240
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2405
04:20:18,240 --> 04:20:19,720
Could you say the last part of your question again?

2406
04:20:20,040 --> 04:20:27,980
There's the road to home programs. I see we've included the road to home as a part of exhibit A7, a transitional

2407
04:20:27,980 --> 04:20:34,260
housing for the extended stay. So, the motel to home, but the road to home is that included.

2408
04:20:34,260 --> 04:20:35,760
But here's what I would say, Commissioner.

2409
04:20:36,380 --> 04:20:36,400
Yes.

2410
04:20:36,520 --> 04:20:40,380
So in this bond issuance, we did not list all of the programs.

2411
04:20:40,980 --> 04:20:42,680
However, they will all be funded.

2412
04:20:43,120 --> 04:20:48,960
You approved separately the program document that indicated all of the programs.

2413
04:20:49,620 --> 04:20:50,780
So nothing has changed.

2414
04:20:50,980 --> 04:20:53,200
We're not doing any of those.

2415
04:20:53,400 --> 04:20:57,980
It's just that in this bond document, we did not go through and list every single one.

2416
04:20:58,180 --> 04:21:03,040
No, and I could appreciate that response and to the extent that we plan on using any

2417
04:21:03,040 --> 04:21:08,320
the bond proceeds for a particular program, then that would need to be something that will

2418
04:21:08,320 --> 04:21:13,800
be made a part of this since we're going to, if actually get a bond as a result of it.

2419
04:21:13,860 --> 04:21:22,040
Now I get that we can, as long as we go through the process, allocate funds from a bond

2420
04:21:22,040 --> 04:21:26,600
to something else that's in similarity to another different consideration to an around

2421
04:21:26,600 --> 04:21:27,080
a bond.

2422
04:21:27,700 --> 04:21:32,860
But specifically, we're going to spend funds related to it, then it would be listed as well.

2423
04:21:32,860 --> 04:21:40,060
this is something that I back saw and reminded on a number of occasions and was even willing

2424
04:21:40,060 --> 04:21:45,680
to present a separate agenda item and was advised and I see Dr. Ferguson coming down right

2425
04:21:45,680 --> 04:21:52,320
now. Was advised that opposed to doing a separate agenda item that it would be something

2426
04:21:52,320 --> 04:21:58,120
that would be a part of this. So I really want to know how we are going to effectively

2427
04:21:58,120 --> 04:22:03,400
ensure that it is something that's a part of what we're doing, and I was leading on the

2428
04:22:03,400 --> 04:22:10,000
administration as to the best, you know, right too. So yeah, I'd really like to make sure that's clear.

2429
04:22:10,120 --> 04:22:14,500
Certainly come up, but I believe with the adoption of the other item that lists the programs,

2430
04:22:14,620 --> 04:22:20,500
that's the assurance, but Dr. Ferguson, I'd like to add in to that.

2431
04:22:23,580 --> 04:22:25,060
Did you hear the emotional

2432
04:22:25,060 --> 04:22:33,180
a seven transitional housing hotel, extended stay hotel program, so to hotel to home. I'm looking

2433
04:22:33,180 --> 04:22:39,340
for my road to home. This is, you know, I was advised as we were going to do a separate agenda item

2434
04:22:39,340 --> 04:22:46,700
related to it that it would be a part of, we have something specifically outlining as it relates

2435
04:22:46,700 --> 04:22:54,300
to the extended stay hotel to home, just looking for where my road, my road to home is.

2436
04:22:54,300 --> 04:22:59,000
Yes, absolutely, so we are currently working on your wrote-in home project.

2437
04:22:59,720 --> 04:23:04,440
Actually, I'm working with the side of the cab to issue an RFQ.

2438
04:23:04,600 --> 04:23:08,640
I'm expecting that RFQ for vendors to go out and set timber.

2439
04:23:09,380 --> 04:23:15,160
There will be a separate budget item that we're going to bring to the board.

2440
04:23:15,200 --> 04:23:19,080
I'm all of the number of other budget items regarding four to by housing and homelessness

2441
04:23:19,080 --> 04:23:23,560
that we're going to bring to the board for your consideration in September.

2442
04:23:24,260 --> 04:23:32,540
One of the reasons that we're kind of bifurcating that activity is that for funding that comes out of the housing investment fund.

2443
04:23:32,640 --> 04:23:36,540
We try to, to the greatest extent possible use those for capital expenses.

2444
04:23:37,760 --> 04:23:44,520
You know assets and things in nature that are going to last long term and then for service related expenses.

2445
04:23:44,520 --> 04:23:50,580
we want to try to lean into the existing budget that we have for the affordable housing fund

2446
04:23:50,580 --> 04:23:55,740
to fund those activities. So you'll see a budget item for the services component for

2447
04:23:55,740 --> 04:24:03,400
road to home come before you in September. And we're already, we're, you know, poised, we drafted

2448
04:24:03,400 --> 04:24:08,420
the RFQ. We're just waiting for a couple of different administrative steps for decide to

2449
04:24:08,420 --> 04:24:13,920
cap to get through before we can issue that RFQ for vendors to participate in that program.

2450
04:24:13,920 --> 04:24:17,860
And I could appreciate that in our acute seems like we do need a separate agenda item.

2451
04:24:18,740 --> 04:24:25,740
So, if you wouldn't mind getting with my office and this is at water so that we can work together to make sure that we do what we're going to do before,

2452
04:24:26,180 --> 04:24:33,620
which was present as separate agenda item was just leaning into what was suggested initially and it seems like we're going to end up going that route.

2453
04:24:34,400 --> 04:24:36,160
With that, I yield back.

2454
04:24:36,400 --> 04:24:37,480
Thank you so much.

2455
04:24:38,440 --> 04:24:42,400
I am seeing no further requests to speak. Please open the machine for a vote.

2456
04:24:43,920 --> 04:24:45,600
And this is where the substitute,

2457
04:24:50,080 --> 04:24:52,920
the motion to approve the substitute carries congratulations.

2458
04:24:54,660 --> 04:24:55,920
That's very good.

2459
04:24:57,020 --> 04:24:59,820
Okay, middle of page 32, I don't know.

2460
04:25:00,000 --> 04:25:11,320
226-1224, all commission districts, renewal of a contract with the Urban League of Greater Atlanta for the operation of the Decaptowning Water and Supercustomary Assistance Programs.

2461
04:25:13,960 --> 04:25:18,660
That committee did hear this and the motion is to approve.

2462
04:25:19,820 --> 04:25:20,020
Second.

2463
04:25:21,020 --> 04:25:23,340
Because it also went to PWF. Thank you so much.

2464
04:25:23,580 --> 04:25:24,520
Oh, thank you. Yes, it was.

2465
04:25:26,140 --> 04:25:28,860
Seeing no requests to speak, please let me see him for the

2466
04:25:35,780 --> 04:25:37,360
motion to approve.

2467
04:25:39,940 --> 04:25:54,540
I'm 2026-1190, application of the Director of Planning and Sustainability, to request the Board of Commission as a approve of a resolution for a new rule of the service delivery strategy for the Cap County Georgia, and this is in Pax.

2468
04:25:54,540 --> 04:25:55,300
Thank

2469
04:25:59,710 --> 04:26:04,190
you so much. I appreciate it.

2470
04:26:04,350 --> 04:26:06,190
This is herbs and pecs actually.

2471
04:26:07,630 --> 04:26:07,830
Brains.

2472
04:26:08,310 --> 04:26:08,530
Yeah.

2473
04:26:10,490 --> 04:26:18,170
And so we need to make sure that we have an opportunity to discuss this more in pecs.

2474
04:26:18,710 --> 04:26:24,770
So I know that Shannon is out presently. Jon was here from someone.

2475
04:26:25,610 --> 04:26:30,330
Yeah, make sure that it gets on so that we can be able to hear it.

2476
04:26:30,710 --> 04:26:39,550
So then my motion is to defer to the September 15th, BOC, actually would need the September,

2477
04:26:40,310 --> 04:26:41,230
what is that?

2478
04:26:41,290 --> 04:26:41,710
Is that that?

2479
04:26:41,870 --> 04:26:43,010
What's after the 15th?

2480
04:26:43,510 --> 04:26:43,770
29th.

2481
04:26:43,770 --> 04:26:44,830
The 29th.

2482
04:26:45,470 --> 04:26:48,250
With a stop impacts on the 15th.

2483
04:26:48,390 --> 04:26:48,810
Madam.

2484
04:26:49,590 --> 04:26:56,650
Would this is a pretty big type of conversation, would you be amenable to our presentation at a cow?

2485
04:26:57,290 --> 04:26:57,810
I am.

2486
04:26:58,890 --> 04:27:01,230
And we're going to work to get that scheduled before then.

2487
04:27:01,670 --> 04:27:02,230
Thank you, then.

2488
04:27:03,230 --> 04:27:03,310
All right.

2489
04:27:03,330 --> 04:27:05,650
If you make hit your button for me.

2490
04:27:06,310 --> 04:27:07,130
And then was there something?

2491
04:27:07,150 --> 04:27:08,530
Thank you, Commissioner Longspears.

2492
04:27:09,570 --> 04:27:10,350
Commissioner Terry.

2493
04:27:12,710 --> 04:27:13,670
Yes, I...

2494
04:27:14,350 --> 04:27:16,450
I thought this was time sensitive.

2495
04:27:17,070 --> 04:27:21,410
I seem to remember Rachel saying they wanted to get this, I guess, done in September.

2496
04:27:21,810 --> 04:27:25,470
I guess it's probably a finder deferred, but what was the broadness at the time?

2497
04:27:25,830 --> 04:27:28,930
I believe by the end of September we need a doctor.

2498
04:27:29,250 --> 04:27:33,550
So if we're going to bring it to the next committee, the whole meeting, I think we're okay.

2499
04:27:34,710 --> 04:27:34,850
All right.

2500
04:27:35,130 --> 04:27:37,610
And I'm amenable to, I'm sorry.

2501
04:27:38,910 --> 04:27:40,110
I'm amenable to modify.

2502
04:27:40,370 --> 04:27:45,730
I know there was additional information that we were looking to receive.

2503
04:27:45,730 --> 04:27:53,710
I don't know that all of the committee has been distributed to us at this point, but I mean

2504
04:27:53,710 --> 04:27:57,790
if the administration of guys are fine and if it's going to come before Cal that I don't

2505
04:27:57,790 --> 04:28:04,330
have an issue, but I'm immunable if we need to consider something different here.

2506
04:28:04,870 --> 04:28:11,490
And I would add if I made that, I think it's a broad topic that newer commissioners have

2507
04:28:12,530 --> 04:28:22,710
and that we'll be delving more into later on, so even if a vote on the specific thing is done if we can get a presentation to just understand the process, I think would be helpful.

2508
04:28:24,050 --> 04:28:28,650
This matter of fact could be a value of the board we're even to vote today on this.

2509
04:28:32,470 --> 04:28:32,970
Yes.

2510
04:28:32,970 --> 04:28:38,190
service delivery strategy because ultimately there's going to be some long-term policy

2511
04:28:38,190 --> 04:28:43,690
decisions to be made in terms of what services we will and will not provide in the future

2512
04:28:43,690 --> 04:28:48,910
that we're already committed to here but we may not want to be committed to in years

2513
04:28:48,910 --> 04:28:50,230
two, three, four and five.

2514
04:28:50,750 --> 04:28:55,110
Right and I think it's a conversation that's better to start that really well.

2515
04:28:55,430 --> 04:29:01,010
Absolutely. So I would also be amenable to approving or whatever the you guys decide but

2516
04:29:01,010 --> 04:29:02,470
at some point having a presentation?

2517
04:29:04,710 --> 04:29:07,530
Then I'm, yeah, I definitely want a presentation.

2518
04:29:08,050 --> 04:29:09,930
So we can get that on the Cal,

2519
04:29:10,170 --> 04:29:11,310
then that would be fantastic.

2520
04:29:11,310 --> 04:29:12,970
And then I'm immunable to

2521
04:29:16,290 --> 04:29:20,570
amending my initial motion to emotion for approval.

2522
04:29:20,890 --> 04:29:24,370
And it's still upon receipt of that additional information

2523
04:29:24,370 --> 04:29:26,150
and it seems like the additional information

2524
04:29:26,150 --> 04:29:28,050
will come in a form of ignoring any count.

2525
04:29:30,020 --> 04:29:30,740
Second stance.

2526
04:29:30,840 --> 04:29:31,440
Second stance.

2527
04:29:31,440 --> 04:29:34,560
Okay, and so we're actually on questions, Terry's time.

2528
04:29:35,820 --> 04:29:36,460
No worries.

2529
04:29:36,900 --> 04:29:42,440
I just, I think the only questions I had about what we were approving is more just sort of the,

2530
04:29:43,080 --> 04:29:47,600
the different, like, codes, code notions for each of the military.

2531
04:29:48,620 --> 04:29:51,380
I think TG was going to try to break out the military.

2532
04:29:51,440 --> 04:29:54,560
That's it for each of the services for the cities.

2533
04:29:54,920 --> 04:29:57,340
That's just for more for our information purposes.

2534
04:29:58,240 --> 04:29:59,480
But I certainly support the idea.

2535
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:06,380
Not representing officer just talking about the SDS strategy holistically at a future day, because I think

2536
04:30:06,380 --> 04:30:10,480
you're right, sackers, longer term discussions that have to be answered.

2537
04:30:10,960 --> 04:30:11,280
Absolutely.

2538
04:30:11,740 --> 04:30:16,740
Your services, we're on a really moderate value rate, but so, yes, if the Board of Prove says we can still

2539
04:30:16,740 --> 04:30:23,740
get the millage rate information, we should be able to get that to T.J. and that's 24 hours.

2540
04:30:23,740 --> 04:30:25,900
Okay, we believe it's five cents.

2541
04:30:26,820 --> 04:30:27,760
Right, yeah.

2542
04:30:28,100 --> 04:30:31,200
Yeah, we believe it's five cents, but we can reset.

2543
04:30:31,500 --> 04:30:32,520
Please reset.

2544
04:30:33,280 --> 04:30:34,300
Thank you.

2545
04:30:34,300 --> 04:30:35,100
You're a commissioner.

2546
04:30:36,040 --> 04:30:36,200
Okay.

2548
04:30:37,660 --> 04:30:40,340

04:30:40,660 --> 04:30:40,720
Yes.

2550
04:30:40,980 --> 04:30:41,200
Okay.

2551
04:30:41,700 --> 04:30:45,960
And then have we talked about what Cal we're wanting to have this presentation come back to?

2552
04:30:46,000 --> 04:30:46,360
No.

2553
04:30:46,580 --> 04:30:47,240
No. Okay.

2554
04:30:47,980 --> 04:30:49,300

2555
04:30:49,360 --> 04:30:50,520

04:40:15,030 --> 04:40:16,510
Thank you, Madam President Officer.

2666
04:40:18,010 --> 04:40:21,310
Zach on the 1121, the lighting contract.

2667
04:40:23,890 --> 04:40:29,730
Did they complete the cost savings analysis or can they?

2668
04:40:31,230 --> 04:40:37,250
That's what we're switching out light bulbs, the energy savings, and so each time we do

2669
04:40:37,250 --> 04:40:41,970
upgrades in the facilities for the lighting, we definitely assess the current lighting

2670
04:40:41,970 --> 04:40:46,610
and see if we can upgrade it to the new more modern LED lighting, so that's what I suspect

2671
04:40:46,610 --> 04:40:47,830
all this lighting is going to do.

2672
04:40:47,830 --> 04:40:48,430
Yeah, that's right.

2673
04:40:48,650 --> 04:40:54,410
I think we talked about it in the committee, but y'all were going to do just a...

2674
04:40:54,410 --> 04:40:55,550
It's like a...

2675
04:40:55,550 --> 04:40:55,790
It's like a...

2676
04:40:55,790 --> 04:40:56,370
It's like a...

2677
04:40:56,370 --> 04:41:03,670
the payback time because it's a million dollars so how long will it take for us to get that money back in the savings will make.

2678
04:41:04,450 --> 04:41:09,510
We will provide that. I don't know that we have that currently, but if we'll get to you as possible.

2679
04:41:09,990 --> 04:41:20,950
We're looking actually to do an assessment just a number of facilities to do exactly that as we move forward with some investments through our sustainability chief.

2680
04:41:21,630 --> 04:41:23,210
Great. Thank you.

2681
04:41:23,210 --> 04:41:30,030
Thank you Commissioner Derrick Commissioner Davis Johnson and it would just be good if you just gave an overall assessment

2682
04:41:31,070 --> 04:41:33,050
Of the savings

2683
04:41:33,050 --> 04:41:36,590
Yeah, absolutely cost savings. Yes, it comes. Yeah, whether it's lighting

2684
04:41:36,590 --> 04:41:43,130
Amen. Yeah, and when you get that if you could get with me and we could just have a discussion and

2685
04:41:46,250 --> 04:41:47,610
Thank you

2686
04:41:48,810 --> 04:41:51,930

Okay, it's a little disco ball or something.

2711
04:44:21,410 --> 04:44:23,910
It's just far open in the machine for the globe.

2712
04:44:24,810 --> 04:44:26,090
It's not as frozen.

2713
04:44:26,570 --> 04:44:27,670
We're still in so good.

2714
04:44:35,460 --> 04:44:37,080
There we go.

2715
04:44:37,820 --> 04:44:39,660
This goal ball has stopped.

2716
04:44:41,180 --> 04:44:42,020
Thank you, sir.

04:44:45,860 --> 04:44:47,480
There we go.

2718
04:44:48,140 --> 04:44:49,560
Motion to approve carries.

2719
04:44:50,020 --> 04:44:50,640

04:44:50,820 --> 04:44:54,040
So now we're purchasing and contracting for the PWI committee

Thank you.

2731
04:45:39,630 --> 04:45:40,510
That is a good savings.

2732
04:45:40,990 --> 04:45:43,690
I will note that the original item had it at 5 million.

2733
04:45:44,010 --> 04:45:46,190
And then the substitute at 3.28 million.

2734
04:45:47,570 --> 04:45:49,210
That's why it's the greatest show on Earth.

2735
04:45:50,890 --> 04:45:51,970
He had to get that in.

2736
04:45:52,190 --> 04:45:54,470

He's open the seat for the vote.

2738
04:45:59,890 --> 04:46:02,350
motion to approve the substitute carries.

04:47:26,370 --> 04:47:26,790
I don't know.

2756
04:47:26,790 --> 04:47:35,950
I'm 2026-0861, change order number five to contract number 1301520 on called water and sewer services.

2760
04:47:59,430 --> 04:48:03,990
Move for action, Madam Presiding Officer, I make a motion to approve the following items.

2761
04:48:04,310 --> 04:48:13,610
2026-0774, 2026-0854, 2026-0861, and then I do have a comment.

2762
04:48:13,610 --> 04:48:16,630
All right, you feel hit to your button, is there a second?

2763
04:48:16,650 --> 04:48:17,750
Thank you, Commissioner Terry.

2764
04:48:18,250 --> 04:48:19,890
It's your request to speak, Commissioner Patrick.

2765
04:48:20,350 --> 04:48:20,990
I already did.

2766
04:48:21,230 --> 04:48:22,110
And you have the floor, sir.

2767
04:48:22,330 --> 04:48:23,390
Yeah, thank you very much, Madam,

2768
04:48:24,010 --> 04:48:24,570
Presiding Officer.

2769
04:48:24,750 --> 04:48:28,770
I just want to let everybody know or call attention to this large item

2770
04:48:28,770 --> 04:48:31,170
that we just approved or potentially will be approving

2771
04:48:32,090 --> 04:48:33,390
for $233 million.

2772
04:48:33,730 --> 04:48:37,070
This is a significant investment, as it says,

2773
04:48:37,710 --> 04:48:39,450
demolition installation of new clear wells.

2774
04:48:39,450 --> 04:48:45,190
This is to ensure that water continues to flow within DeCab County, and this is starting

2775
04:48:45,190 --> 04:48:49,430
up at the top where the water starts, with the expectation obviously it makes it all

2776
04:48:49,430 --> 04:48:51,330
the way to the bottom of the county.

2777
04:48:52,070 --> 04:48:57,530
These investments are large, but they are also reflective of the 10 by 10 that this board

2778
04:48:57,530 --> 04:48:59,490
voted on last year.

2779
04:49:00,610 --> 04:49:06,550
It is important that we ensure that future generations of DeCab County residents have access

2780
04:49:06,550 --> 04:49:11,490
to clean fresh water and the notion that whether you're on the north side or the south side,

2781
04:49:12,010 --> 04:49:16,710
you're entitled to clean fresh water and good water pressure also, I think is what's

2782
04:49:16,710 --> 04:49:17,550
important to go with this.

2783
04:49:17,550 --> 04:49:21,510
So I just want to call attention to that particular item, Madam Presiding Officer, and thank

2784
04:49:21,510 --> 04:49:21,850
you.

2785
04:49:22,010 --> 04:49:22,610
Thank you.

2786
04:49:23,150 --> 04:49:26,710
Mr. Peter, may I chair, please open the machine for the vote,

2787
04:49:34,380 --> 04:49:35,100
motion to approve those

2788
04:49:35,100 --> 04:49:35,440
items.

2789
04:49:35,440 --> 04:49:44,800
series, top of page 14, I don't know, 2026-0949, Commission District 3, Super District 7,

2790
04:49:45,000 --> 04:49:53,100

2792
04:49:58,560 --> 04:49:59,980
This is our North Fork P.

2793
04:50:00,000 --> 04:50:07,420
Each tree trail, a wild drop road to Flakes Mill Road near Narvee Harris Elementary School, recommend

2794
04:50:07,420 --> 04:50:12,900
a war to the highest scoring proposal, Kimely Horn and Associates Inc., amount not to exceed

2795
04:50:12,900 --> 04:50:14,500
4.1 million.

2796
04:50:17,030 --> 04:50:23,550
Yes, Madam Presiding Officer, motion to defer to the September 15, B.O.C. with a prior stop at P.W.

2797
04:50:23,870 --> 04:50:29,070
This is currently under review by Mr. Campbell's office for audit and we just want to make

2798
04:50:29,070 --> 04:50:29,770
sure we get it right.

2799
04:50:29,770 --> 04:50:31,450
Thank you, sir.

2800
04:50:32,370 --> 04:50:33,850
Thank you for putting one more time.

2801
04:50:35,830 --> 04:50:36,310
Thank you, Commissioner.

2802
04:50:36,590 --> 04:50:37,110
For a second.

2803
04:50:37,470 --> 04:50:38,430
Commissioner, I'm sorry you have four.

2804
04:50:38,710 --> 04:50:40,950
Thank you so much, Madam Peo.

2805
04:50:41,430 --> 04:50:46,590
I just have a quick question because my understanding is there was already three million

2806
04:50:48,710 --> 04:50:57,210
from three million dollars that actually got appropriated and this was also to

2807
04:50:57,210 --> 04:51:03,870
We'll drop, bro, 155, and it was federal money that had been received.

2808
04:51:04,690 --> 04:51:07,490
So can someone speak to that 3 million?

2809
04:51:07,610 --> 04:51:12,730
And if it's, thank you so much, Kingsbury, coming for it.

2810
04:51:15,650 --> 04:51:17,150
Well, we're waiting at Mr. Kingsbury.

2811
04:51:17,330 --> 04:51:21,750
We are getting close to when committees were supposed to start, so we will revisit that.

2812
04:51:21,790 --> 04:51:23,510
We still have a few more items to get through.

2813
04:51:23,790 --> 04:51:24,270
Thank you.

2814
04:51:26,410 --> 04:51:38,370
I have to do the commissioners. Yes, there's a typo on that agenda item. It's the south river trail. It's federallyed from Walderbrode to Flakes Mill Road and the squash dollars would be the local match.

2815
04:51:39,030 --> 04:51:46,510
So it's a full federallyed project. That's one of the cost of so high. It's full PDP environmental right away. Design drawings.

2816
04:51:48,110 --> 04:51:51,390
So the federallyed intact. This is a local match using a squash $2.

2817
04:51:51,390 --> 04:52:00,570
So we'll make sure that typo is corrected and right now the motion is to defer correct.

2818
04:52:00,990 --> 04:52:01,570
That is correct.

2819
04:52:02,230 --> 04:52:03,090
Any other questions?

2820
04:52:04,090 --> 04:52:09,550
Just so I can understand it's a match of 3 million because I know that 3 million.

2821
04:52:10,250 --> 04:52:15,310
And so it seems like it's a match and then adding another 1.1 or just trying to understand there.

2822
04:52:15,310 --> 04:52:16,850
The total is 4 million correct.

2823
04:52:17,630 --> 04:52:18,650
All right.

2824
04:52:18,650 --> 04:52:19,890
It's blocked, let's federally.

2825
04:52:20,370 --> 04:52:22,030
All right, I go back, thank you.

2872

Lofrax and ManPio, I move to approve agenda items ending in 0974-1175 and 1179 as they

2873
04:55:50,440 --> 04:55:52,100
approve out of Anne Pecks committee.

2874
04:55:52,520 --> 04:55:53,080
Thank you so much.

2875
04:55:53,820 --> 04:55:53,880
Second.

2876
04:55:53,880 --> 04:55:55,220
Second, by Commissioner Patrick,

2877
04:55:55,440 --> 04:55:57,720
Commissioner Terry, you've requested to speak, you're before?

2878
04:55:58,140 --> 04:55:59,060
Yes, thank you.

2879
04:55:59,140 --> 04:55:59,980
Madam, I'm setting up a second.

2880
04:56:00,060 --> 04:56:01,460
Zach, just a quick question.

2881
04:56:01,680 --> 04:56:04,180
So we did talk about the funding source

2882
04:56:04,180 --> 04:56:09,440
for the operation of charm being the parks department.

2883
04:56:10,220 --> 04:56:12,700
But I think you had indicated that in the future,

2884
04:56:13,160 --> 04:56:15,020
it would be under sanitation.

2885
04:56:15,140 --> 04:56:19,560
Is that still the intent for the next funding round?

2886
04:56:23,580 --> 04:56:30,640
So I know parks, is parks leasing at the charm or is it a lease, right?

2887
04:56:30,940 --> 04:56:31,560
Is that what's?

2888
04:56:34,740 --> 04:56:37,220
We owe it and then releasing a charm.

2889
04:56:38,440 --> 04:56:38,640
Okay.

2890
04:56:38,900 --> 04:56:39,560
So just.

2891
04:56:40,760 --> 04:56:40,840
Okay.

2892
04:56:41,920 --> 04:56:42,000
So.

2893
04:56:42,560 --> 04:56:43,600
So we want this one too much time on.

2894
04:56:43,700 --> 04:56:46,540
I just wanted to flag that the other, I think the other four

2895
04:56:47,940 --> 04:56:52,240
is still sort of up for, I guess, the bait on what will happen with it.

2896
04:56:52,420 --> 04:56:53,660
And I know that.

2897
04:56:53,940 --> 04:56:54,240
Yeah.

2898
04:56:54,500 --> 04:56:56,940
Yeah. And that one point is we saw our fields, but since build with the

2899
04:56:56,940 --> 04:57:01,540
or plaza has been kind of invested in through the tax allocation district,

2900
04:57:01,920 --> 04:57:05,980
this might be a good time to engage with all the commissioners in this area in the

2901
04:57:05,980 --> 04:57:10,040
neighbors, because I think at one point it's supposed to be like a charm, like a farm and charm thing.

2902
04:57:10,700 --> 04:57:14,260
But if we're going to do a different direction, we should kind of either, like,

2903
04:57:14,260 --> 04:57:19,240
the neighbors or at least just, you know, do a reset on that. Okay. Thanks.

2904
04:57:22,290 --> 04:57:22,890
Mr. Bullt.

2905
04:57:24,210 --> 04:57:29,530
And if we could update that agenda item, be able to do a plaza is in Super District 7.

2906
04:57:34,470 --> 04:57:35,190
I yield back.

2907
04:57:35,190 --> 04:57:36,210
Thank you, man.

2908
04:57:38,580 --> 04:57:40,980
So if we can now open the machine for that vote,

2909
04:57:48,930 --> 04:57:48,970
Commissioner.

2910
04:57:50,610 --> 04:57:52,490
Motion to prove, carries. Thank you.

2911
04:57:52,750 --> 04:57:58,310

04:57:58,310 --> 04:58:03,470
Item 2026-1211, all commission districts will be impacted.

2913
04:58:03,650 --> 04:58:08,270

2914
04:58:08,270 --> 04:58:14,430

2915
04:58:15,230 --> 04:58:20,210
The cost will be approximately $106,000 for the remainder of 2026.

2916
04:58:23,050 --> 04:58:29,370
Second, on that motion to approve, no request to speak, please open the screen for a row.

2917
04:58:38,410 --> 04:58:39,650

I don't know 15.

2941
04:59:42,360 --> 04:59:42,540

2942
04:59:47,690 --> 04:59:48,930
Because you haven't pulled your fabulous.

2943
04:59:49,770 --> 04:59:49,830
Yes.

2944
04:59:49,910 --> 04:59:51,690

B.O.C. meeting.

2965

and community stability, and for other purposes.

2986
05:03:01,650 --> 05:03:05,850
OK, and I appreciate you sharing that email

2987
05:03:05,850 --> 05:03:08,210
with the red line version and for my colleagues

2988
05:03:08,210 --> 05:03:10,310
for tabling until the end of the meeting.

2989
05:03:13,670 --> 05:03:14,850
I'm going to go ahead and make my motion

2990
05:03:14,850 --> 05:03:15,950
and then do my comments.

2991
05:03:16,110 --> 05:03:20,410
My motion is still to approve because I'm sorry.

2992
05:03:20,770 --> 05:03:21,350
We need a second.

2993
05:03:21,390 --> 05:03:22,250
I do need a second.

2994
05:03:23,010 --> 05:03:24,630
Thank you, Commissioner Davis Johnson.

2995
05:03:25,430 --> 05:03:27,130
Commissioner Bolton has requested to speak to you

2996
05:03:27,130 --> 05:03:27,890
at the floor, man.

2997
05:03:28,350 --> 05:03:33,010
The red line version, all of those suggestions were accepted

2998
05:03:33,010 --> 05:03:33,870
by the board.

2999
05:03:33,890 --> 05:03:35,770
That's what we're voting to approve.

3000
05:03:37,150 --> 05:03:39,590
What's in the red line that you sent to us today.

3001
05:03:40,690 --> 05:03:43,830
So just about all of those come from fire,

3002
05:03:43,830 --> 05:03:50,390
and we've had conversations with fire before we sent it to legal and thereafter so we were aware

3003
05:03:50,390 --> 05:03:52,090
of those suggested changes.

3004
05:03:57,970 --> 05:04:00,150
All right, attorney Phillips, did you need to address anything?

3005
05:04:05,850 --> 05:04:12,450
Commissioner, I understand the position you're in. I will make sure you get a draft. We can

3006
05:04:12,450 --> 05:04:17,560
improve before you're next meeting and every one of your colleagues does if you're willing to

3007
05:04:17,560 --> 05:04:23,620
defer this to the next meeting. If you are not willing to defer this to the next meeting,

3008
05:04:24,480 --> 05:04:29,060
we will submit to you what we would ask you to adopt as a substitute. But those are the

3009
05:04:29,060 --> 05:04:33,420
two options that we can all hear. I publicly apologize that we're in this space.

3010
05:04:36,200 --> 05:04:42,720
Okay, can they go ahead? You want to concede your first opportunity to speak in the Commission

3011
05:04:45,460 --> 05:04:55,600
This is what we'll do and what I can commit to doing is that we ensure that we make a definitive decision out of

3012
05:04:55,600 --> 05:04:59,980
PIX and so I'm seeing this along with my PIX committee member.

3013
05:05:00,980 --> 05:05:14,120
And looking for their solidarity in doing this, because I hate the idea that it's holding up the potential for your agenda item to be able to move forward.

3014
05:05:15,120 --> 05:05:27,280
We have been in earnest a bit of a standstill in terms of the sponsor and it was split in terms of in the decision how we were going to move forward.

3015
05:05:27,280 --> 05:05:33,400
And I know that the law department is prepared with language either way, for either route

3016
05:05:33,400 --> 05:05:35,100
that we specifically go.

3017
05:05:36,120 --> 05:05:42,880
So what I can commit to doing is urging that my committee members that we come to a specific

3018
05:05:42,880 --> 05:05:51,100
consensus so that we can have at least a language direction, it's not withdrawn to be able

3019
05:05:51,100 --> 05:05:57,300
to provide you so that we can make sure that we're able to vote on it coming up,

3020
05:05:59,540 --> 05:05:59,540
and

3021
05:05:59,540 --> 05:06:05,960
with the support of my committee members, because I'll need you as well, for us to make

3022
05:06:05,960 --> 05:06:09,740
sure that we have a definitive decision coming out.

3023
05:06:09,800 --> 05:06:10,480
Are you all back?

3024
05:06:10,900 --> 05:06:11,620
Thank you.

3025
05:06:13,980 --> 05:06:16,000
It's connected to a text item.

3026
05:06:17,820 --> 05:06:24,200
The sound ordinance has been, we've been voting on, is holding it up, and the specific language

3027
05:06:24,200 --> 05:06:28,900
that's going to go into and help drive this particular agenda item.

3028
05:06:29,240 --> 05:06:36,220
It's predicated on, or her item is predicated on that specific language and what recommendation

3029
05:06:36,880 --> 05:06:41,320
that we utilize, whether we're going to, you know, just that direction where we've been

3030
05:06:41,320 --> 05:06:48,240
trying to decipher, which mechanism is going to be used and the, you know, conditional approval

3031
05:06:48,240 --> 05:06:54,800
out of PECS for that language, and so that's been essentially the hold-up where Law has been

3032
05:06:54,800 --> 05:07:00,380
wanting that in needing that in order to give a final recommendation for her language. So again,

3033
05:07:00,900 --> 05:07:08,560
we're going to hear that item today. I'm going to hold my colleagues feet to the fire and

3034
05:07:08,560 --> 05:07:13,860
either making a definitive decision or we're drawing it so that we're not continuing to hold

3035
05:07:13,860 --> 05:07:17,020
that this particular item, I yield back, thank you.

3036
05:07:17,340 --> 05:07:17,680
I apologize.

3037
05:07:17,920 --> 05:07:20,360
What is the motion on the table right now?

3038
05:07:21,020 --> 05:07:22,320
Currently it's to approve.

3039
05:07:22,340 --> 05:07:22,820
To approve.

3040
05:07:23,420 --> 05:07:24,040
OK, thank you.

3041
05:07:24,060 --> 05:07:25,020
Commissioner Davis Johnson.

3042
05:07:26,240 --> 05:07:30,440
Well, I would just like to say, and we've said in the second session,

3043
05:07:31,040 --> 05:07:32,500
welcome back Matthew,

3044
05:07:38,190 --> 05:07:40,050
and you know,

3045
05:07:40,150 --> 05:07:44,270
I would not say that this item is contingent on the passage

3046
05:07:44,270 --> 05:07:53,430
of what they do, and what they do on the Norse ordinance, correct me from Mom, but I would

3047
05:07:53,430 --> 05:08:01,510
not say it's contingent, and we have spoken on the side, and we've been through these discussions

3048
05:08:01,510 --> 05:08:13,370
for several months, but I would just say this in reference to

3049
05:08:16,700 --> 05:08:18,980
Matthew, who's just coming back,

3050
05:08:19,400 --> 05:08:25,700
to give him an opportunity to review his red lines and speak directly with you.

3051
05:08:25,700 --> 05:08:36,900
I would just make, I don't want to do a substitute for an amended motion just to defer it to the next meeting,

3052
05:08:38,500 --> 05:08:50,360
because in County Attorney, this is not dependent on what happens with the North's ordinances.

3053
05:08:50,740 --> 05:08:52,040
It is just a reference.

3054
05:08:52,760 --> 05:08:59,920
there is a reference I would like to stay away from substantive concerns and we will address

3055
05:08:59,920 --> 05:09:06,300
those privately with Dr. Bolton. But the one thing I am comfortable saying is we think

3056
05:09:06,300 --> 05:09:12,280
there are revisions needed so that we can approve it as the form. I apologize to Dr. Bolton

3057
05:09:12,280 --> 05:09:16,840
and I apologize to the whole body that that didn't happen before today and I'm committed

3058
05:09:16,840 --> 05:09:21,900
to make sure that happens for you before the next meeting and everyone gets it with your approval.

3059
05:09:22,040 --> 05:09:24,380
So they can be voted on in the next meeting.

3060
05:09:26,740 --> 05:09:29,520
And that next meeting would be September 15th.

3061
05:09:33,880 --> 05:09:35,460
Do you, Commissioner Davis Johnson?

3062
05:09:36,200 --> 05:09:37,220
Oh, yes.

3063
05:09:37,220 --> 05:09:39,740
Are you accepting the friendly amendment, Commissioner Bolton?

3064
05:09:40,440 --> 05:09:40,740
Yes.

3065
05:09:41,260 --> 05:09:41,480
OK.

3066
05:09:42,160 --> 05:09:43,840
Commissioner Terry, you requested a speak.

3067
05:09:44,820 --> 05:09:45,540
Thank you, Madam.

3068
05:09:45,720 --> 05:09:45,800
I'm sorry.

3069
05:09:46,200 --> 05:09:51,580
I think one question I think that is related to the two different ordinances

3070
05:09:51,580 --> 05:09:56,120
is the question of plainly audible versus decibels.

3071
05:09:56,700 --> 05:09:59,960
So, I assume that's part of your review is that we're not saying.

3072
05:10:12,060 --> 05:10:21,440
I want to clarify a point that Attorney Welch offered this body earlier today.

3073
05:10:22,180 --> 05:10:26,300
Until we adopt the noise ordinance, that reference is misplaced.

3074
05:10:26,300 --> 05:10:31,440
of the absence of it, we have a reference without anything that is on the other side of the reference.

3075
05:10:32,640 --> 05:10:37,280
I'd like to stay away from any further substance, but I would respect for Dr. Bolton,

3076
05:10:37,900 --> 05:10:45,440
and we will give her either as a proposed substitute if this is adopted today or before the next meeting,

3077
05:10:45,720 --> 05:10:50,260
so it could be adopted and not needing a substitute later. All of the changes we recommend.

3078
05:10:51,020 --> 05:10:52,960
And I will make sure that happens, Dr. Bolton.

3079
05:10:54,460 --> 05:11:01,980
Okay, so you accepted the friendly amendment, so now the motion is to defer until September 15th.

3080
05:11:02,640 --> 05:11:04,720
And your second stance committee was Johnson.

3081
05:11:05,460 --> 05:11:07,280
If we can reflect that

3082
05:11:10,060 --> 05:11:11,080
and open the motion

3083
05:11:15,080 --> 05:11:17,520
to defer carries.

3084
05:11:17,860 --> 05:11:22,740
And that was our last item before we jump up.

3085
05:11:23,360 --> 05:11:26,400
I need to talk about committee times what times are committees.

3086
05:11:27,060 --> 05:11:28,400
to 30 for fab.

3087
05:11:28,440 --> 05:11:30,140
To 30 for fab, all right?

3088
05:11:30,660 --> 05:11:32,860
And to 330 for pecs.

3089
05:11:33,220 --> 05:11:33,300
All right.

3090
05:11:33,380 --> 05:11:34,020
Thank you so much.

3091
05:11:34,120 --> 05:11:35,300
If I can get a motion to adjourn.

3092
05:11:35,560 --> 05:11:36,120
So move.

3093
05:11:36,540 --> 05:11:37,080
Just a second.

3094
05:11:37,740 --> 05:11:38,240
Get your buttons.

3095
05:11:44,750 --> 05:11:45,610
Thank you, everybody.

3096
05:12:06,280 --> 05:12:07,460
That's going to drag it out.
