1
00:00:02,654 --> 00:00:06,854
Speaker: Will you please call the roll?

2
00:00:15,605 --> 00:00:17,605
[Roll Call]

3
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:32,461
We're going to try to get through this quick.

4
00:00:32,461 --> 00:00:38,461
Item number one, approving the street change between stage Road

5
00:00:42,781 --> 00:00:46,606
and Fairhaven Lane for Pastor Leon Jones,

6
00:00:46,606 --> 00:00:50,206
junior district one, super district nine,

7
00:00:50,641 --> 00:00:52,641
sponsored by Logan.

8
00:00:54,351 --> 00:00:57,351
Do you have any comments?

9
00:01:05,207 --> 00:01:10,700
Speaker: His church has a plethora of programs

10
00:01:10,381 --> 00:01:13,381
that support the community, they've

11
00:01:13,801 --> 00:01:18,100
served over a half a million people

12
00:01:18,471 --> 00:01:22,671
at the Mid-South food Bank From 2018 to 2026.

13
00:01:28,751 --> 00:01:32,239
Every Friday night over the last three years

14
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,239
between eight and midnight, they've

15
00:01:35,257 --> 00:01:41,257
helped hundreds of people get their license and the list

16
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:44,471
goes on and on.

17
00:01:48,342 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker: I'm excited to vote on this,

18
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,331
we will go to a voice vote on this.

19
00:01:54,331 --> 00:01:58,531
The ayes have it, thank you Councilwoman.

20
00:01:58,791 --> 00:02:02,811
Item number two, discussion regarding fees for police

21
00:02:02,811 --> 00:02:05,710
calls for service at short term rental properties.

22
00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:10,487
Can we discuss this last week, requested by Spinoza.

23
00:02:10,487 --> 00:02:14,190
I just wanted to make a comment, this

24
00:02:14,190 --> 00:02:16,630
was going to be an amendment to the ordinance

25
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:19,281
at the first reading today, we will not

26
00:02:19,281 --> 00:02:23,946
do that today but I wanted to read this just for clarity.

27
00:02:23,946 --> 00:02:26,726
We will not be penalizing emergency calls,

28
00:02:26,726 --> 00:02:30,415
we want to limit the burden placed

29
00:02:30,415 --> 00:02:33,291
for the public in chronic nuisance incidents

30
00:02:33,291 --> 00:02:36,291
and recovery for police services.

31
00:02:36,444 --> 00:02:40,131
Additionally this amendment will hold short term rental property

32
00:02:40,131 --> 00:02:42,351
owners accountable for their guests

33
00:02:42,351 --> 00:02:47,584
by having on record a number for each owner that NPD can reach

34
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:52,887
out to when these events occur for code enforcement

35
00:02:52,887 --> 00:02:55,959
or whatever qualifying office at City Hall

36
00:02:55,959 --> 00:02:59,591
to report these incidents to environmental course

37
00:02:59,591 --> 00:03:01,991
for remediation fees Et-cetera.

38
00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:05,116
This one in particular is still under a legal review,

39
00:03:05,116 --> 00:03:07,799
so are a lot of others, but I just

40
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:09,924
wanted to put that out there for you all.

41
00:03:09,924 --> 00:03:15,391
These are going to change , I just wanted to read that

42
00:03:15,391 --> 00:03:17,811
for the record so everybody is aware.

43
00:03:17,811 --> 00:03:21,411
Any comments or questions on that?

44
00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:28,310
Seeing none, we will go on to item number three.

45
00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:31,310
Memphis and unincorporated Shelby County,

46
00:03:32,551 --> 00:03:35,535
all council districts, sponsored by the administration.

47
00:03:35,535 --> 00:03:39,735
We do need to Vote on this.

48
00:03:40,904 --> 00:03:44,504
Real quick, is there a motion?

49
00:03:47,617 --> 00:03:53,170
we've got a motion made and seconded, go ahead.

50
00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:57,279
Speaker: We do have a short presentation,

51
00:03:57,279 --> 00:04:01,241
we will try to be brief but this amends the current

52
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:06,310
and essentially sets the process for our updates for the zoning

53
00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:11,551
map, what that update is sets the process for public notice

54
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:14,103
to every property owner in Memphis

55
00:04:14,103 --> 00:04:17,531
and incorporation of Shelby County letting them know

56
00:04:17,531 --> 00:04:20,745
the map is being updated and where they can go find that

57
00:04:20,745 --> 00:04:22,937
and where the public hearing would be,

58
00:04:22,937 --> 00:04:25,671
so we expect that to be potentially September

59
00:04:25,671 --> 00:04:27,111
but probably October.

60
00:04:27,111 --> 00:04:30,959
This is just saying we will send public notice

61
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:34,559
to all of the property owners.

62
00:04:44,357 --> 00:04:48,423
Speaker: We are voting today to send out the letter so Everyone

63
00:04:48,423 --> 00:04:54,423
is aware, we think it's going to be eventually September,

64
00:04:58,510 --> 00:04:59,451
probably October.

65
00:04:59,451 --> 00:05:04,251
I support this, I just wanted to make

66
00:05:04,775 --> 00:05:08,975
sure everybody was-- real quick, the chairwoman

67
00:05:12,335 --> 00:05:17,135
asked we are just posting the existing map?

68
00:05:19,329 --> 00:05:21,151
Speaker: We have a proposed map, what

69
00:05:21,151 --> 00:05:24,510
this is is setting the process for letting people

70
00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:27,510
know about the proposed map.

71
00:05:27,951 --> 00:05:34,551
Speaker: So a lot of mail is going to go out.

72
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker: We are sending over 200,000 public notices.

73
00:05:44,408 --> 00:05:47,700
Speaker: Basically saying we're having this meeting where

74
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:51,807
we're going to look at the new map .

75
00:05:57,235 --> 00:05:59,235
It's a lot .

76
00:06:08,598 --> 00:06:10,223
Councilmember Warren: Is there a reason

77
00:06:10,223 --> 00:06:16,823
we have today September or October, can't we have a date?

78
00:06:17,784 --> 00:06:19,201
Speaker: There were dates earlier,

79
00:06:19,201 --> 00:06:21,431
we've continued to push it out.

80
00:06:21,431 --> 00:06:24,240
I love saying October because it's a big change,

81
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,424
but at the same time, look at their auditing.

82
00:06:31,511 --> 00:06:33,727
Speaker: It goes to the land use control meeting,

83
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:35,331
the dates are already established

84
00:06:35,331 --> 00:06:39,951
and there's a meeting every month, the date is certain

85
00:06:39,951 --> 00:06:47,751
but it just depends on which meeting we are going to go to.

86
00:06:48,125 --> 00:06:54,125
Speaker: So you want us to pick a day today?

87
00:06:57,797 --> 00:07:00,977
Speaker: It's a work in progress and we are working with people,

88
00:07:00,977 --> 00:07:05,777
it is the second Thursday of every month.

89
00:07:06,807 --> 00:07:09,207
At 9:00 in council chambers.

90
00:07:15,911 --> 00:07:19,704
And then if the board approves it,

91
00:07:19,704 --> 00:07:22,364
we look forward to council and commission,

92
00:07:22,364 --> 00:07:24,764
it takes 2 or 3 weeks.

93
00:07:25,604 --> 00:07:30,404
So, late October or November it would be.

94
00:07:37,151 --> 00:07:39,151
And the text.

95
00:07:43,631 --> 00:07:45,631
Correct.

96
00:07:56,769 --> 00:08:02,187
Councilwoman Walker: How much is the Mailout going to cost?

97
00:08:02,187 --> 00:08:05,187
Speaker: We're looking at 100 to 120,000,

98
00:08:06,470 --> 00:08:09,647
depending on how the process works.

99
00:08:30,281 --> 00:08:31,739
Councilwoman White: I'm just trying

100
00:08:31,739 --> 00:08:34,901
to get clarity, because what was attached to the documents

101
00:08:34,901 --> 00:08:36,671
was the ordinance.

102
00:08:36,671 --> 00:08:39,495
So we're not taking any action on the ordinance

103
00:08:39,495 --> 00:08:41,495
today, that's accurate?

104
00:08:42,999 --> 00:08:48,999
so that was what was attached in terms of documents?

105
00:08:51,227 --> 00:08:53,487
maybe I don't have the document that you all

106
00:08:53,487 --> 00:08:55,327
are referring or voting on.

107
00:08:55,327 --> 00:08:57,727
Is there a resolution?

108
00:08:59,434 --> 00:09:02,360
I understood it was first reading but then you were saying

109
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,911
something that you were approving the mailing

110
00:09:03,911 --> 00:09:07,151
of something and I hadn't seen any resolutions and I got

111
00:09:07,151 --> 00:09:11,951
confused, because all I have is the ordinance .

112
00:09:16,318 --> 00:09:18,591
Speaker: What the ordinance is is

113
00:09:18,591 --> 00:09:24,591
approving us to do the mailout for the public notes.

114
00:09:25,511 --> 00:09:27,277
Speaker: We will check it and make

115
00:09:27,277 --> 00:09:32,751
sure you have what you need before you let it fly upstairs

116
00:09:32,751 --> 00:09:38,151
pure I don't feel comfortable if Councilwoman White hasn't

117
00:09:38,751 --> 00:09:41,204
reviewed, we will get that taken care

118
00:09:41,204 --> 00:09:43,510
of before you head downstairs.

119
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:46,510
Anybody else on this item?

120
00:09:48,151 --> 00:09:54,151
Motion was made and properly seconded, all those in favor

121
00:09:54,791 --> 00:09:58,991
please respond by saying I. Anyone against?

122
00:09:59,950 --> 00:10:03,263
This will go downstairs with a positive recommendation,

123
00:10:03,263 --> 00:10:05,751
that is it for number three.

124
00:10:05,751 --> 00:10:09,151
Before we go to number four, Miss Emily Bishop

125
00:10:09,151 --> 00:10:12,710
is in the audience, we've all gotten emails

126
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:17,183
from Josh Whitehead when he was at City Hall.

127
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:19,241
Thinking ahead to the October meeting we've

128
00:10:19,241 --> 00:10:22,241
heard from all constituents, Emily

129
00:10:22,244 --> 00:10:27,471
put together a nice one pager, Josh sent the document to us

130
00:10:27,471 --> 00:10:28,943
last Friday.

131
00:10:28,943 --> 00:10:33,944
I just wanted everybody to be aware, take a look at that,

132
00:10:33,944 --> 00:10:36,607
things we need to be reviewing as council members

133
00:10:36,607 --> 00:10:38,791
as we approach all this.

134
00:10:38,791 --> 00:10:40,791
Josh Whitehead .

135
00:10:51,697 --> 00:10:57,970
Josh Whitehead: The memo Mr. Spence deals with this

136
00:10:59,303 --> 00:11:05,199
ordinance, we are simpatico on the need for this public

137
00:11:05,199 --> 00:11:10,559
hearing, we do have a suggestion that instead of having 200 000

138
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,711
people invited to a hearing that there would be an opportunity

139
00:11:14,711 --> 00:11:17,797
for each of those people who have a real issue with

140
00:11:17,797 --> 00:11:21,199
the amendment to have a separate hearing on their property

141
00:11:21,199 --> 00:11:25,711
so they have due process specific to their property.

142
00:11:25,711 --> 00:11:30,511
If you have 1% of those 200 000 people, that's 2000 people.

143
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,824
I don't think if they express problems with the way the map

144
00:11:34,824 --> 00:11:39,271
affects their property, I don't know how that public hearing can

145
00:11:39,271 --> 00:11:44,710
possibly be conducted in fairness to that person,

146
00:11:45,543 --> 00:11:48,543
so that was the contents .

147
00:11:59,186 --> 00:12:01,215
Speaker: We do want to work with them,

148
00:12:01,215 --> 00:12:03,771
we are continuing to work with various stakeholders

149
00:12:03,771 --> 00:12:06,964
and have for almost three years, we are

150
00:12:06,964 --> 00:12:09,351
going to work on that process.

151
00:12:09,351 --> 00:12:13,535
We are publishing an updated amount and zoning text,

152
00:12:13,535 --> 00:12:19,170
we think a lot of the concerns are going to be resolved but we

153
00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:21,861
have talked the past few weeks about this and look forward

154
00:12:21,861 --> 00:12:24,261
to continuing that conversation .

155
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:29,337
There are unintended consequences potentially

156
00:12:29,337 --> 00:12:32,879
with this proposal, so we want to make

157
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:37,679
sure we are providing adequate time for everyone.

158
00:12:40,977 --> 00:12:43,111
Speaker: Appreciate you being here today.

159
00:12:43,111 --> 00:12:45,311
That is it for item number three,

160
00:12:45,311 --> 00:12:50,111
and then item number four , Berry Hill road,

161
00:12:54,711 --> 00:12:59,511
this is in district one, super district nine.

162
00:13:01,757 --> 00:13:07,157
Moved by Madam Chair and seconded by Council Logan .

163
00:13:10,410 --> 00:13:14,391
They are here to give us a presentation, I've read it.

164
00:13:14,391 --> 00:13:16,791
Any comments on this?

165
00:13:18,333 --> 00:13:20,771
I think everything's good here, if everyone

166
00:13:20,771 --> 00:13:24,331
wants to see the presentation, we will do it downstairs.

167
00:13:24,331 --> 00:13:28,303
With that, motion is made and properly seconded,

168
00:13:28,303 --> 00:13:30,385
all those in favor say aye.

169
00:13:30,385 --> 00:13:33,625
It is the opinion of the chair the ayes have it,

170
00:13:33,625 --> 00:13:36,151
it will go downstairs with a positive recommendation.

171
00:13:36,151 --> 00:13:39,151
Any other items to discuss?

172
00:13:39,623 --> 00:13:43,471
All right, we are done with planning and zoning today,

173
00:13:43,471 --> 00:13:45,471
thank you.

174
00:13:46,573 --> 00:13:48,573
[Gavel bangs]
