1
00:00:27,213 --> 00:00:28,460
>> Item two is held.

2
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:29,796
These are all updated in discussion items.

3
00:00:29,796 --> 00:00:33,754
Item number one is an update on city owned properties.

4
00:00:33,754 --> 00:00:38,554
All council districts requested by Councilman Smiley junior.

5
00:00:43,594 --> 00:00:45,594
Welcome gentlemen.

6
00:00:48,314 --> 00:00:50,218
Whenever you are ready.

7
00:00:50,218 --> 00:00:52,618
You have the floor.

8
00:00:53,554 --> 00:00:55,804
>> Good morning Council again Melvin Jamerson director

9
00:00:55,804 --> 00:00:59,404
of general Services 125 North Main Street.

10
00:01:00,514 --> 00:01:02,514
And Carlton Osborne.

11
00:01:03,259 --> 00:01:05,659
Manager of real estate.

12
00:01:06,322 --> 00:01:08,322
128 North Main.

13
00:01:09,474 --> 00:01:11,874
>> Spencer Directory of Services 125.

14
00:01:19,890 --> 00:01:26,490
>> So basically at the last meeting when we were present --

15
00:01:27,866 --> 00:01:31,554
we went over seven properties that were vacant.

16
00:01:31,554 --> 00:01:35,148
Being held by the city at this time.

17
00:01:35,148 --> 00:01:39,810
I would like to give an update on those.

18
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:43,610
Any actions that we have taken in order to transfer those.

19
00:01:43,610 --> 00:01:48,460
Or what the city's plans are for those particular properties.

20
00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:50,860
The first one --

21
00:01:59,194 --> 00:02:03,394
I think we have the wrong slide?

22
00:02:09,994 --> 00:02:12,374
So I will just move forward.

23
00:02:12,374 --> 00:02:17,874
The first one is a form from a former Bunji site at 279 North

24
00:02:17,874 --> 00:02:18,854
second Street.

25
00:02:18,854 --> 00:02:22,607
Currently we have the adjacent property owner who is interested

26
00:02:22,607 --> 00:02:26,114
and a willing buyer, who is wanting

27
00:02:26,114 --> 00:02:29,250
to use the property for his operations.

28
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:34,500
We are planning to move forward with that.

29
00:02:34,162 --> 00:02:38,270
Before we do come up there has to be some subdivisions that

30
00:02:38,270 --> 00:02:39,774
need to take place?

31
00:02:39,774 --> 00:02:44,244
Part of that property is occupied by Publix work.

32
00:02:44,244 --> 00:02:47,719
At some infrastructure that is on that site.

33
00:02:47,719 --> 00:02:52,580
Once we subdivide the property and receive an appraisal --

34
00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:56,740
we will move forward to selling that particular plot of land

35
00:02:56,740 --> 00:02:58,383
to the adjacent property owner.

36
00:02:58,383 --> 00:03:00,383
And move forward.

37
00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:03,174
That will be out of their hands.

38
00:03:03,174 --> 00:03:06,174
He has submitted a proposal.

39
00:03:06,802 --> 00:03:08,487
It looks good.

40
00:03:08,487 --> 00:03:11,730
We are in the process of evaluating that.

41
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:14,574
We should be back before you within 90 days,

42
00:03:14,574 --> 00:03:17,114
to get final approval for the sale

43
00:03:17,114 --> 00:03:19,514
of that particular property.

44
00:03:19,814 --> 00:03:26,414
The next one would be the former fire station 43 at 1253 Holmes.

45
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:30,554
There are two possible concepts being evaluated

46
00:03:30,554 --> 00:03:32,554
for the use of that property.

47
00:03:32,554 --> 00:03:37,954
However, it is being considered for internal city uses.

48
00:03:38,554 --> 00:03:42,370
There is an additional rendering for the community gathering

49
00:03:42,370 --> 00:03:44,266
Hall, that has been received.

50
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:49,660
We are still waiting for animal shelter substation.

51
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:52,794
We will present and make a plea.

52
00:03:52,794 --> 00:03:56,474
There will need to be a decision made from the administration

53
00:03:56,474 --> 00:03:58,874
on that particular use.

54
00:03:59,344 --> 00:04:02,387
The timeline is to be determined,

55
00:04:02,387 --> 00:04:04,787
based on the budget .

56
00:04:06,565 --> 00:04:10,234
And which option we plan to go with.

57
00:04:10,234 --> 00:04:15,814
The next one being the former Frazier Library at 3712 Argonne.

58
00:04:15,814 --> 00:04:19,414
There were two proposals being considered

59
00:04:20,354 --> 00:04:22,354
from nonprofit organizations.

60
00:04:23,154 --> 00:04:27,954
They seem to be upstanding organizations right now.

61
00:04:28,330 --> 00:04:30,200
We are still waiting for some required documentation

62
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,386
from from both parties.

63
00:04:32,386 --> 00:04:39,586
Once we receive those and make a decision on the options --

64
00:04:39,634 --> 00:04:43,420
over the options to the administration for decision --

65
00:04:43,420 --> 00:04:46,394
we will move forward and bring them back before City Council.

66
00:04:46,394 --> 00:04:50,234
We anticipate about 45 days for that to take place.

67
00:04:50,234 --> 00:04:55,386
We would be back before you with the decision.

68
00:04:55,386 --> 00:04:57,320
And your approval.

69
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,520
The next one is the 2608 Avery operations.

70
00:05:02,694 --> 00:05:06,834
That particular facility is currently being used by Parks,

71
00:05:06,834 --> 00:05:08,834
for equipment storage.

72
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,660
There is really no other operational use

73
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:16,359
that particular site can be used for, at this time.

74
00:05:16,359 --> 00:05:20,354
So, parks decided to use it for their parks and equipment

75
00:05:20,354 --> 00:05:21,000
stores.

76
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,314
The next one is the Summer Avenue office building

77
00:05:25,314 --> 00:05:28,314
which is at 3628 Summer Avenue.

78
00:05:28,618 --> 00:05:32,218
We have a qualified nonprofit organization

79
00:05:35,554 --> 00:05:37,936
to tour the site at 730.

80
00:05:37,936 --> 00:05:40,460
They have submitted a proposal.

81
00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:43,426
We expect to be back before you come up for approval --

82
00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:44,492
in 30 days.

83
00:05:44,492 --> 00:05:49,794
The transfer of that property to this for community use.

84
00:05:49,794 --> 00:05:53,394
And then again there's 247 Washington Avenue.

85
00:05:54,194 --> 00:05:55,904
Downtown office building.

86
00:05:55,904 --> 00:06:01,224
We have received an estimate for demolition and paving.

87
00:06:01,224 --> 00:06:03,224
The amount of $870,000.

88
00:06:04,282 --> 00:06:07,939
As we stated previously come with the renovation cost

89
00:06:07,939 --> 00:06:11,519
is estimated somewhere between 6 million and 10 million.

90
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:15,914
Right now -- we are looking at both of those options.

91
00:06:15,914 --> 00:06:21,914
We are currently performing a cost benefit of highest use.

92
00:06:22,217 --> 00:06:24,127
The highest and best use analysis.

93
00:06:24,127 --> 00:06:25,954
To determine the recommendation that we

94
00:06:25,954 --> 00:06:27,371
will present to the administration

95
00:06:27,371 --> 00:06:30,314
for final decision on that.

96
00:06:30,314 --> 00:06:34,202
And of course there is the Coliseum,

97
00:06:34,202 --> 00:06:36,602
which is 986 Erwin Maxwell.

98
00:06:37,154 --> 00:06:40,438
That is undetermined at this time,

99
00:06:40,438 --> 00:06:43,974
as to what we will propose or what we'll be doing with that

100
00:06:43,974 --> 00:06:46,914
particular facility -- to be determined.

101
00:06:46,914 --> 00:06:48,914
Any questions?

102
00:06:53,127 --> 00:06:55,794
>> Doctor Warren and followed by Councilman White the Councilman

103
00:06:55,794 --> 00:06:57,794
White (Indistinct)

104
00:07:03,892 --> 00:07:06,184
>> You kept saying the adjacent property owner on 1079?

105
00:07:06,184 --> 00:07:07,500
Who is that adjacent property owner?

106
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:09,167
>> I would rather talk about it offline,

107
00:07:09,167 --> 00:07:11,745
since we are still in negotiations.

108
00:07:11,745 --> 00:07:17,145
It is only adjacent owner to that particular property.

109
00:07:17,834 --> 00:07:18,620
>> Okay.

110
00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:21,274
Let's talk about that online I guess.

111
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:25,580
If you're bringing stuff for us to know what's going on and we

112
00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:28,826
can't talk about it -- it is a little bit tough.

113
00:07:28,826 --> 00:07:30,814
I understand what you're saying.

114
00:07:30,814 --> 00:07:32,397
You were doing a deal.

115
00:07:32,397 --> 00:07:35,560
You don't want to undo the deal.

116
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,235
How do we own an office building on summer?

117
00:07:38,235 --> 00:07:39,974
Is that one that we build?

118
00:07:39,974 --> 00:07:45,974
When did we acquire >> Well, that was a previous clinic.

119
00:07:46,546 --> 00:07:52,546
Alliance Health held it in lease for approximately ten years.

120
00:07:56,662 --> 00:07:57,232
>>?

121
00:07:57,232 --> 00:07:57,234
>> ..

122
00:07:57,234 --> 00:07:57,246
>> How do we get it before we give it to them?

123
00:07:57,246 --> 00:07:59,204
>> I have to go back and do the research on it.

124
00:07:59,204 --> 00:08:02,204
That was before my timeline.

125
00:08:02,474 --> 00:08:06,674
It has been leased by Alliance Healthcare.

126
00:08:06,894 --> 00:08:09,765
It was probably donated to us.

127
00:08:09,765 --> 00:08:12,434
I can go back and check.

128
00:08:12,434 --> 00:08:13,920
>> Somebody donated that to us.

129
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,420
Okay?

130
00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:14,920
Okay.

131
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,687
All of these sound great.

132
00:08:17,687 --> 00:08:22,674
I do think we want to give bevel the work on the Coliseum,

133
00:08:22,674 --> 00:08:25,544
the way they're doing the stuff on the other things.

134
00:08:25,544 --> 00:08:30,298
Eventually, they may be the ones to solve that problem.

135
00:08:30,298 --> 00:08:31,794
Thank you Mr. Chair.

136
00:08:31,794 --> 00:08:33,794
>> Councilwoman white.

137
00:08:34,154 --> 00:08:37,154
>> Demolition costs for the Coliseum?

138
00:08:38,794 --> 00:08:40,500
>> No, we don't.

139
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,405
Not at this time.

140
00:08:46,877 --> 00:08:48,877
[Indistinct conversation]

141
00:08:51,115 --> 00:08:52,883
>> Councilwoman followed by (Indistinct).

142
00:08:52,883 --> 00:08:54,175
You are I am glad you are here.

143
00:08:54,175 --> 00:08:55,973
>> Thank you Mr. Chair.

144
00:08:55,973 --> 00:08:58,753
I'm kind of piggybacking on the previous question.

145
00:08:58,753 --> 00:09:03,894
I was going to ask, what was the last estimate on the demolition

146
00:09:03,894 --> 00:09:05,637
for the Coliseum?

147
00:09:05,637 --> 00:09:09,600
Mr. Stockwell who was here earlier,

148
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,714
he's part of that group right they're not

149
00:09:10,714 --> 00:09:12,138
as active as they used to be.

150
00:09:12,138 --> 00:09:13,634
I did take a tour.

151
00:09:13,634 --> 00:09:16,847
That has been on the other side of the pandemic.

152
00:09:16,847 --> 00:09:19,654
The only real issue was the Ada compliance.

153
00:09:19,654 --> 00:09:24,354
There were a lot of rumors circulating, as to

154
00:09:24,354 --> 00:09:25,914
what was needed.

155
00:09:25,914 --> 00:09:30,114
I know there had been -- ideas?

156
00:09:30,620 --> 00:09:34,340
People and organizations who were interested in it.

157
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:36,962
They did not want to assume cost of the demolition.

158
00:09:36,962 --> 00:09:39,674
Nor did the city at that time.

159
00:09:39,674 --> 00:09:42,629
I just don't remember what that was.

160
00:09:42,629 --> 00:09:46,514
If you could just speak to that, however?

161
00:09:46,514 --> 00:09:50,713
As far as the property on summer,

162
00:09:50,713 --> 00:09:54,594
can you share that with us in attorney client?

163
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:56,594
Who that is?

164
00:10:03,756 --> 00:10:04,464
>> Second street.

165
00:10:04,464 --> 00:10:05,172
>> Second Street?

166
00:10:05,172 --> 00:10:07,572
The potential -- >> Sure.

167
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:10,340
>> Okay.

168
00:10:11,354 --> 00:10:16,491
>> As far as the Coliseum we can pull up the reports that we

169
00:10:16,491 --> 00:10:19,994
have, and see if there's some cost of demolition.

170
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:24,794
And bring that back to you as well.

171
00:10:29,237 --> 00:10:29,737
>> Okay.

172
00:10:29,737 --> 00:10:29,742
This is complete for me.

173
00:10:29,742 --> 00:10:31,117
Thank you thank you Councilwoman.

174
00:10:31,117 --> 00:10:35,709
>> Council member Cooper >> Thank you just a quick question

175
00:10:35,709 --> 00:10:38,840
I think my two colleagues may have just answered was this

176
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:38,876
a historical piece.

177
00:10:38,876 --> 00:10:40,394
This call here in Memphis.

178
00:10:40,394 --> 00:10:44,774
This historical piece here that you're holding on to it

179
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:46,647
for some reason or another?

180
00:10:46,647 --> 00:10:48,647
And the cost.

181
00:10:48,784 --> 00:10:53,194
I mean, is it worth renovating or doing

182
00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:55,227
whatever needs to be done?

183
00:10:55,227 --> 00:10:59,587
Is it a historical piece that we can't let go of Memphis?

184
00:10:59,587 --> 00:11:00,586
Is it?

185
00:11:00,586 --> 00:11:05,154
I see Councilman Ford thank you been here longer than all of us.

186
00:11:05,154 --> 00:11:06,474
That is a good thing.

187
00:11:06,474 --> 00:11:09,474
That is a good thing.

188
00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:13,357
[Laughter] You are a seasoned man.

189
00:11:13,357 --> 00:11:14,274
You are seasoned, sir.

190
00:11:14,274 --> 00:11:15,494
You are seasoned.

191
00:11:15,494 --> 00:11:16,307
I do.

192
00:11:16,307 --> 00:11:17,529
I really do.

193
00:11:17,529 --> 00:11:21,729
I don't come up but I do.

194
00:11:22,234 --> 00:11:23,584
That's the first thing.

195
00:11:23,584 --> 00:11:24,462
We own it.

196
00:11:24,462 --> 00:11:26,862
The city owns it.

197
00:11:33,342 --> 00:11:35,783
>> (Indistinct) we own it the memories of my time maybe

198
00:11:35,783 --> 00:11:38,183
a little more (Indistinct) .

199
00:11:39,433 --> 00:11:40,554
Keep it in shape.

200
00:11:40,554 --> 00:11:42,554
>> Even this guy?

201
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:49,999
>> There's a problem we've always had if we want to try

202
00:11:49,999 --> 00:11:50,600
to do something -- >> In eight?

203
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:50,954
What did you say?

204
00:11:50,954 --> 00:11:52,954
>> Ada.

205
00:11:53,340 --> 00:11:53,850
>> Oh.

206
00:11:53,850 --> 00:11:54,666
Ada compliance.

207
00:11:54,666 --> 00:11:56,666
Got you.

208
00:12:00,798 --> 00:12:02,715
>> (Indistinct) it would have cost us so much.

209
00:12:02,715 --> 00:12:03,174
Okay.

210
00:12:03,174 --> 00:12:03,674
Ada.

211
00:12:03,674 --> 00:12:08,474
That don't mean we can't put certain facilities,

212
00:12:08,994 --> 00:12:12,807
certain things in there, that would kind of eliminate the Ada.

213
00:12:12,807 --> 00:12:16,648
You just never end up looking at it.

214
00:12:16,648 --> 00:12:23,624
There are a lot of different things that can go in there.

215
00:12:23,624 --> 00:12:27,874
(Indistinct) it is something that we will talk about.

216
00:12:27,874 --> 00:12:29,594
>> That was a presentation.

217
00:12:29,594 --> 00:12:34,594
>> We cannot move on it we did not care about the Coliseum.

218
00:12:34,594 --> 00:12:37,314
We cared more about the stadium park.

219
00:12:37,314 --> 00:12:39,674
I don't want to talk about that.

220
00:12:39,674 --> 00:12:40,754
>> Oh please.

221
00:12:40,754 --> 00:12:42,634
>> It's not ours.

222
00:12:42,634 --> 00:12:44,554
>> Any more?

223
00:12:44,554 --> 00:12:46,450
>> We keep giving everything away.

224
00:12:46,450 --> 00:12:49,287
We don't get anything from it.

225
00:12:49,287 --> 00:12:50,300
Too much.

226
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:53,414
We always put something else back into it.

227
00:12:53,414 --> 00:12:56,674
So we are never out of it.

228
00:12:56,674 --> 00:12:57,247
Okay?

229
00:12:57,247 --> 00:13:01,913
We will talk about that in a little bit.

230
00:13:01,913 --> 00:13:04,580
>> This is a city owned property again, that we're dealing with,

231
00:13:04,580 --> 00:13:07,580
that we are up against?

232
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:13,516
>> (Indistinct) this is not an issue with the Coliseum.

233
00:13:13,516 --> 00:13:15,524
A lot of people would love for it

234
00:13:15,524 --> 00:13:17,731
to be gone, because they want that property.

235
00:13:17,731 --> 00:13:18,273
>> That part.

236
00:13:18,273 --> 00:13:20,205
That is what I'm going to ask you remember

237
00:13:20,205 --> 00:13:22,999
it very vibrant when I first moved here almost 30 years ago.

238
00:13:22,999 --> 00:13:25,978
We are back with our city property

239
00:13:25,978 --> 00:13:29,434
is not with a maintenance plan come or not with upkeep.

240
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:31,594
This is how we ended up here, again.

241
00:13:31,594 --> 00:13:32,954
Okay?

242
00:13:32,954 --> 00:13:39,554
>> It almost reminded me I'm not going to go into (Indistinct).

243
00:13:41,140 --> 00:13:41,514
>> Okay.

244
00:13:41,514 --> 00:13:43,340
>> They wanted it a certain way.

245
00:13:43,340 --> 00:13:43,540
Anywhere.

246
00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:46,444
Let us get out of here.

247
00:13:46,444 --> 00:13:48,719
Once we are out of there.

248
00:13:48,719 --> 00:13:50,740
This property becomes something.

249
00:13:50,740 --> 00:13:52,554
Certain people.

250
00:13:52,554 --> 00:13:53,450
Certain people.

251
00:13:53,450 --> 00:13:54,346
You know?

252
00:13:54,346 --> 00:13:57,334
I think I called their names out once before apparently I'm not

253
00:13:57,334 --> 00:13:58,954
going to call them this time.

254
00:13:58,954 --> 00:14:01,260
You know you've got a group of about five people.

255
00:14:01,260 --> 00:14:04,260
It's not about them (Indistinct).

256
00:14:06,738 --> 00:14:08,571
Some of you all know what I'm talking about?

257
00:14:08,571 --> 00:14:08,574
>> Thank you.

258
00:14:08,574 --> 00:14:09,174
It's all about the property comment

259
00:14:09,174 --> 00:14:11,340
acquiring our property here in the city.

260
00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:11,914
Okay.

261
00:14:11,914 --> 00:14:13,914
Clear.

262
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:22,529
>> (Indistinct)

263
00:14:22,529 --> 00:14:23,362
>> It is historical.

264
00:14:23,362 --> 00:14:26,962
It was the first integrated (Indistinct)

265
00:14:31,645 --> 00:14:33,645
[Crosstalk]

266
00:14:35,380 --> 00:14:36,338
>> You seasoned people.

267
00:14:36,338 --> 00:14:36,339
Okay.

268
00:14:36,339 --> 00:14:36,341
Thank you.

269
00:14:36,341 --> 00:14:36,346
That is good to know.

270
00:14:36,346 --> 00:14:36,349
Thank you chairman.

271
00:14:36,349 --> 00:14:36,891
>> Thank you.

272
00:14:36,891 --> 00:14:39,247
Any other questions, colleagues?

273
00:14:39,247 --> 00:14:40,560
All right.

274
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,814
Before I move on to item three, I

275
00:14:42,814 --> 00:14:46,340
would like to wish director Phillip Davis a happy birthday.

276
00:14:46,340 --> 00:14:52,634
We are glad that you decided to spend it with us.

277
00:14:55,579 --> 00:14:56,484
[Applause]

278
00:14:56,484 --> 00:15:02,524
[Laughter] I'm sure there is no place that you would rather be?

279
00:15:02,524 --> 00:15:03,240
[Laughter]

280
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,624
>> Did you bring some cookies today?

281
00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:08,825
[Laughter]

282
00:15:08,825 --> 00:15:11,408
>> Item three conditions at the Orange Mound Community Center.

283
00:15:11,408 --> 00:15:11,908
District.

284
00:15:11,908 --> 00:15:14,908
Requested by Chair Swearingen Washington.

285
00:15:16,274 --> 00:15:20,474
Director Jamison who is taking this one?

286
00:15:21,780 --> 00:15:23,578
>> Thank you Melvin Jamison Director of General Services 125

287
00:15:23,578 --> 00:15:24,746
North Main.

288
00:15:24,746 --> 00:15:29,754
And Gerald Spencer director for General Services 125 North Main.

289
00:15:29,754 --> 00:15:32,754
Justice director of Memphis Parks.

290
00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:38,988
2599 (Indistinct)?

291
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,908
>> We know that community center is used.

292
00:15:43,908 --> 00:15:46,126
All of the operational hours that it's open.

293
00:15:46,126 --> 00:15:48,399
I have received some calls.

294
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:50,850
They were concerned about the air conditioning

295
00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:52,614
and the pressure washing.

296
00:15:52,614 --> 00:15:55,289
The ice maker or refrigerator.

297
00:15:55,289 --> 00:15:56,530
Just several things.

298
00:15:56,530 --> 00:15:58,280
I was hoping that you all would do

299
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,602
a walkthrough come and address all of the concerns of facility.

300
00:16:02,602 --> 00:16:08,714
We are excited about the update that we are about to receive.

301
00:16:08,714 --> 00:16:11,754
>> So Chairwoman Como we did do a walk through of that facility

302
00:16:11,754 --> 00:16:12,634
last week.

303
00:16:12,634 --> 00:16:13,414
Last Thursday.

304
00:16:13,414 --> 00:16:16,378
We did our walk through Como we found some issues

305
00:16:16,378 --> 00:16:20,227
with two Hvac units those units affected the classroom

306
00:16:20,227 --> 00:16:21,559
beneath the bleachers.

307
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:22,414
The front desk area.

308
00:16:22,414 --> 00:16:23,747
And come to the front classroom.

309
00:16:23,747 --> 00:16:26,846
We have the contractors actually starting to repair those units

310
00:16:26,846 --> 00:16:27,674
today.

311
00:16:27,674 --> 00:16:28,762
They're on site today.

312
00:16:28,762 --> 00:16:30,378
They are starting to repair.

313
00:16:30,378 --> 00:16:32,562
Also doing a walkthrough.

314
00:16:32,562 --> 00:16:36,922
We had noticed that some ceiling tile had been replaced,

315
00:16:36,922 --> 00:16:39,179
that had been replaced earlier.

316
00:16:39,179 --> 00:16:40,377
About two weeks ago.

317
00:16:40,377 --> 00:16:42,156
That was an issue as well.

318
00:16:42,156 --> 00:16:45,394
The pressure washing was done last week.

319
00:16:45,394 --> 00:16:46,200
That's done.

320
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,507
That is finished also.

321
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:51,707
Do you want to talk about (Indistinct) ?

322
00:17:00,754 --> 00:17:01,254
>> Yes.

323
00:17:01,254 --> 00:17:01,258
A couple of things.

324
00:17:01,258 --> 00:17:01,264
You mentioned the refrigerator you mentioned

325
00:17:01,264 --> 00:17:01,274
the walk in refrigerator that is on the senior center

326
00:17:01,274 --> 00:17:02,774
side it was part of the original construction permit expired.

327
00:17:02,774 --> 00:17:06,224
We were looking at some long term solutions primarily because

328
00:17:06,224 --> 00:17:08,540
of parts and things of that nature.

329
00:17:08,540 --> 00:17:09,740
It is operable.

330
00:17:09,740 --> 00:17:12,449
We are looking at a more I guess you would

331
00:17:12,449 --> 00:17:15,974
say a modern option at this stage also as it relates

332
00:17:15,974 --> 00:17:17,360
to the ice maker.

333
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,180
We will look at replacements.

334
00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:19,874
>> Okay

335
00:17:19,874 --> 00:17:22,700
>> Also come up with a temporary cooling systems replaced

336
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:27,200
in the areas when the Hvac was out last week.

337
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,940
>> Okay.

338
00:17:28,940 --> 00:17:31,847
Now did you look at the parking lot?

339
00:17:31,847 --> 00:17:37,754
It had a whole lot of what you call it?

340
00:17:37,754 --> 00:17:38,654
Holes.

341
00:17:38,654 --> 00:17:40,460
Potholes.

342
00:17:40,460 --> 00:17:41,477
>> No Ma'am.

343
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:43,482
We will send our grounds team over there

344
00:17:43,482 --> 00:17:44,994
to look at the parking lot.

345
00:17:44,994 --> 00:17:45,540
>> Okay.

346
00:17:45,540 --> 00:17:46,870
All right.

347
00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:47,714
Do we still have a camera over there?

348
00:17:47,714 --> 00:17:49,340
In the lot?

349
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:52,340
In those temporary mobile cameras?

350
00:17:53,994 --> 00:17:55,978
>> You referring to the Skycam.

351
00:17:55,978 --> 00:17:58,887
We do have cameras there.

352
00:17:58,887 --> 00:18:02,394
I believe we still have a sky Cam will follow up on that.

353
00:18:02,394 --> 00:18:03,394
>> Okay.

354
00:18:03,394 --> 00:18:03,994
>> All right.

355
00:18:03,994 --> 00:18:05,634
Sounds good.

356
00:18:05,634 --> 00:18:08,774
>> One of the things I wanted to mention on those units that are

357
00:18:08,774 --> 00:18:11,434
in the mechanical space, there were some leaks down

358
00:18:11,434 --> 00:18:13,834
into the senior area.

359
00:18:15,266 --> 00:18:20,666
Those are going to be addressed -- >> The leaks.

360
00:18:21,570 --> 00:18:23,474
>> The leaks will be addressed as far as the units will be

361
00:18:23,474 --> 00:18:25,394
addressed as causing leaks.

362
00:18:25,394 --> 00:18:29,882
Right now we have to move that water

363
00:18:29,882 --> 00:18:31,740
to the proper draining area.

364
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:35,940
We will get back to those units.

365
00:18:42,472 --> 00:18:42,972
[Crosstalk]

366
00:18:42,972 --> 00:18:42,978
>> Did they check the mold?

367
00:18:42,978 --> 00:18:42,985
Someone saw some mold in the classroom

368
00:18:42,985 --> 00:18:42,991
not far from the exercise yard

369
00:18:42,991 --> 00:18:43,533
>> Yes Ma'am.

370
00:18:43,533 --> 00:18:47,354
We'll check for that and verify what that substance is.

371
00:18:47,354 --> 00:18:49,354
And remediated accordingly.

372
00:18:49,714 --> 00:18:50,674
>> Okay.

373
00:18:50,674 --> 00:18:52,674
Sounds good.

374
00:18:53,234 --> 00:18:54,634
>> Thank you chair.

375
00:18:54,634 --> 00:18:56,634
Councilwoman Cooper.

376
00:18:57,774 --> 00:19:00,774
>> I see that smirk, chair.

377
00:19:00,914 --> 00:19:03,127
Can we just get airport and update report

378
00:19:03,127 --> 00:19:07,354
on all of our community centers, on what it looks like?

379
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:08,474
The maintenance.

380
00:19:08,474 --> 00:19:12,110
I think, can we just kind of get that?

381
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:16,340
When was the last time we had reporting on that, in the status

382
00:19:16,340 --> 00:19:17,326
and what everything looks like?

383
00:19:17,326 --> 00:19:19,314
Just an update.

384
00:19:19,314 --> 00:19:22,794
It's moving forward and we can kind of stay on top of things.

385
00:19:22,794 --> 00:19:24,650
Can we just do that?

386
00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:25,434
Maybe I'm yes Ma'am.

387
00:19:25,434 --> 00:19:27,494
>> We've got a new chief, all that good stuff.

388
00:19:27,494 --> 00:19:30,214
We want to make sure that he earn his keep.

389
00:19:30,214 --> 00:19:33,194
>> We will get you a report from the facility condition

390
00:19:33,194 --> 00:19:34,500
assessment a f c.

391
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:35,997
We will bring that forward to you

392
00:19:35,997 --> 00:19:37,330
>> To all our community centers.

393
00:19:37,330 --> 00:19:40,186
We want to make sure our communities,

394
00:19:40,186 --> 00:19:42,586
they use them faithfully.

395
00:19:43,794 --> 00:19:44,660
>> They do.

396
00:19:44,660 --> 00:19:47,114
>> They use those community centers faithfully.

397
00:19:47,114 --> 00:19:51,914
And our children , they look forward to that.

398
00:19:53,114 --> 00:19:56,140
It is so many activities that the park has.

399
00:19:56,140 --> 00:19:56,747
They partner.

400
00:19:56,747 --> 00:19:59,954
We want to make sure that it is up to par, for our children.

401
00:19:59,954 --> 00:20:00,818
Our seniors.

402
00:20:00,818 --> 00:20:02,554
They do line dancing.

403
00:20:02,554 --> 00:20:05,554
It's just so much activity.

404
00:20:13,762 --> 00:20:14,648
[Crosstalk]

405
00:20:14,648 --> 00:20:16,898
>> Everything that goes on in those community centers.

406
00:20:16,898 --> 00:20:16,908
We just want to make sure they're up to par.

407
00:20:16,908 --> 00:20:16,915
When you say mold, that is serious.

408
00:20:16,915 --> 00:20:20,820
We need to make sure that our health is a public safety

409
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:22,334
concern in our community centers.

410
00:20:22,334 --> 00:20:25,594
Let's just get an update on all of them,

411
00:20:25,594 --> 00:20:26,804
and what they look like.

412
00:20:26,804 --> 00:20:28,480
All of them.

413
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,314
So we can kind of see where we are.

414
00:20:32,314 --> 00:20:35,314
So we can -- stay.

415
00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:38,780
>> Will do.

416
00:20:38,794 --> 00:20:39,418
>> Thank you.

417
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:41,418
Thank you chairwoman.

418
00:20:41,674 --> 00:20:43,354
>> You're welcome.

419
00:20:43,354 --> 00:20:45,340
Thank you.

420
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:49,154
Item four is the presentation on the Lamar Corridor district

421
00:20:49,154 --> 00:20:52,264
four district eight Kim also requested

422
00:20:52,264 --> 00:20:54,664
by Chair Swearengin Washington.

423
00:21:02,554 --> 00:21:04,554
Director Morgan.

424
00:21:07,234 --> 00:21:09,234
Director Neil.

425
00:21:21,634 --> 00:21:25,634
Whenever you're ready, the floor is yours.

426
00:21:25,634 --> 00:21:27,634
>> Director 125 North Main.

427
00:21:41,655 --> 00:21:42,863
>> Good morning Melanie Neil.

428
00:21:42,863 --> 00:21:42,869
Community enhancement director 499 South Hollywood.

429
00:21:42,869 --> 00:21:45,286
>> Before they start chair I just wanted to share Lamar is

430
00:21:45,286 --> 00:21:48,784
one of our major streets from American way to the interstate.

431
00:21:48,784 --> 00:21:50,524
To Midtown.

432
00:21:50,524 --> 00:21:52,980
To downtown.

433
00:21:52,980 --> 00:21:56,270
There were so many pockets on Lamar

434
00:21:56,270 --> 00:21:58,424
that needed to be addressed.

435
00:21:58,424 --> 00:22:02,624
When it comes to litter, grass, blight.

436
00:22:02,682 --> 00:22:03,820
You know?

437
00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:05,290
Code enforcement support.

438
00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:06,682
Gas stations.

439
00:22:06,682 --> 00:22:12,682
It just encompasses so much that needed to be addressed.

440
00:22:15,978 --> 00:22:17,520
I am anxious to see the presentation.

441
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,853
Not only to see the update -- but to see the consistency

442
00:22:19,853 --> 00:22:20,667
of the upkeep.

443
00:22:20,667 --> 00:22:21,167
Okay?

444
00:22:21,167 --> 00:22:23,167
Thank you.

445
00:22:24,394 --> 00:22:25,418
>> Thank you chairwoman.

446
00:22:25,418 --> 00:22:29,660
This is an update for Public Works Committee enhancement?

447
00:22:29,660 --> 00:22:31,514
A presentation as well.

448
00:22:31,514 --> 00:22:35,434
For Public Works as everybody knows, Lamar is a state route.

449
00:22:35,434 --> 00:22:38,774
Public works is responsible for is, the median.

450
00:22:38,774 --> 00:22:40,371
The grass medians.

451
00:22:40,371 --> 00:22:45,140
As well as kind of we control our concrete islands.

452
00:22:45,140 --> 00:22:48,714
As well as overpasses and underpasses with the bridges.

453
00:22:48,714 --> 00:22:51,207
These are just some of the few representative pictures

454
00:22:51,207 --> 00:22:54,289
of public works after two meetings ago, we

455
00:22:54,289 --> 00:22:56,134
inspected these areas.

456
00:22:56,134 --> 00:22:59,134
Actually from an infrastructure standpoint

457
00:22:59,234 --> 00:23:02,740
it looks pretty good there's only two grass medians on Lamar

458
00:23:02,740 --> 00:23:04,120
from Crump all the way to American Way.

459
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,594
One of those is near Mississippi Boulevard.

460
00:23:07,594 --> 00:23:10,594
The other is near 240 North.

461
00:23:11,194 --> 00:23:13,140
They were both cut.

462
00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:15,794
They are cut twice a month.

463
00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:18,850
There was one tree that was knocked down by a vehicle.

464
00:23:18,850 --> 00:23:20,870
That was removed.

465
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:20,994
It died.

466
00:23:20,994 --> 00:23:26,394
The rest of this, we removed all the weeds

467
00:23:28,154 --> 00:23:30,764
and sprayed the weeds around the overpasses and underpasses

468
00:23:30,764 --> 00:23:34,689
along the stretch from American Way to the Crump interchange,

469
00:23:34,689 --> 00:23:38,289
down where 55 and 255 and Lamar is.

470
00:23:38,354 --> 00:23:41,754
That is kind of it for public works.

471
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:43,444
As far as Lamar corridor.

472
00:23:43,444 --> 00:23:46,304
Subsequent to your request of Councilwoman Cooper Sutton

473
00:23:46,304 --> 00:23:50,274
asked for an update on the Mallory Heights area.

474
00:23:50,274 --> 00:23:53,634
Maybe I'm a little more impressed that area really

475
00:23:53,634 --> 00:23:55,634
needs to be well maintained.

476
00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:58,534
It's the opening corridor to charity.

477
00:23:58,534 --> 00:24:00,940
It's a very distinguished neighborhood.

478
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,340
It always looks terrible.

479
00:24:13,383 --> 00:24:13,883
>> Yeah.

480
00:24:13,883 --> 00:24:13,893
There is a picture of Lamar and Prescott right there.

481
00:24:13,893 --> 00:24:14,234
What I'm referring to is the concrete island track

482
00:24:14,234 --> 00:24:16,567
there are two concrete sections that you see on the left

483
00:24:16,567 --> 00:24:18,887
and right they're actually within the right of way.

484
00:24:18,887 --> 00:24:23,740
We would check really for roadside litter and weeds

485
00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:25,474
growing around the islands

486
00:24:25,554 --> 00:24:27,354
>> This is the after picture?

487
00:24:27,354 --> 00:24:29,354
>> Yes Ma'am.

488
00:24:29,914 --> 00:24:31,798
>> Do you see the litter still over there?

489
00:24:31,798 --> 00:24:33,340
>> On the right side on the curbside?

490
00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:35,340
Yes Ma'am.

491
00:24:39,994 --> 00:24:41,994
Right.

492
00:24:55,405 --> 00:24:57,405
>> Okay.

493
00:24:58,174 --> 00:24:58,757
>> Next slide.

494
00:24:58,757 --> 00:24:58,759
All right.

495
00:24:58,759 --> 00:24:59,426
Mallory Heights.

496
00:24:59,426 --> 00:25:04,260
This was the area from South Parkway on the north .

497
00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:05,874
Quarter on the east.

498
00:25:05,874 --> 00:25:08,820
Interstate on the west end Mallory on the south.

499
00:25:08,820 --> 00:25:13,714
As a reminder public Works has 56000 within the city.

500
00:25:13,714 --> 00:25:18,740
The focus of this was -- potholes and drainage

501
00:25:18,740 --> 00:25:20,740
in the inspections.

502
00:25:20,364 --> 00:25:23,364
The 152 inlets within this area.

503
00:25:23,994 --> 00:25:27,594
113 of them were cleaned and Maintenanced.

504
00:25:29,258 --> 00:25:32,620
39 did not need maintenance out of those inspections.

505
00:25:32,620 --> 00:25:34,514
Next slide?

506
00:25:34,514 --> 00:25:38,162
There's some additional things on Mallory Heights.

507
00:25:38,162 --> 00:25:42,340
As a reminder, Public Works also has a proactive maintenance

508
00:25:42,340 --> 00:25:42,578
program.

509
00:25:42,578 --> 00:25:46,314
We have the primary grids and the secondary grids

510
00:25:46,314 --> 00:25:48,762
that we do throughout the season.

511
00:25:48,762 --> 00:25:51,694
We started this July of last year?

512
00:25:51,694 --> 00:25:55,161
Each ten grid grouping takes about 3 to 4 months

513
00:25:55,161 --> 00:25:57,270
to complete correct the errors on the left.

514
00:25:57,270 --> 00:25:58,200
I know it's small.

515
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,474
The areas on the left are the streets on the primary grid.

516
00:26:00,474 --> 00:26:02,880
The numbers from the first go around,

517
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,620
are the areas on the right.

518
00:26:04,620 --> 00:26:05,674
They are the secondary.

519
00:26:05,674 --> 00:26:09,100
We are essentially practically out there addressing

520
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:10,387
street sweeping.

521
00:26:10,387 --> 00:26:11,200
Potholes.

522
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,200
And, drainage inlets.

523
00:26:13,154 --> 00:26:14,393
Proactively.

524
00:26:14,393 --> 00:26:17,993
Without relying on citizen request or 311

525
00:26:18,378 --> 00:26:21,967
come on essentially every street street in the city

526
00:26:21,967 --> 00:26:23,389
county and state streets.

527
00:26:23,389 --> 00:26:25,873
There's a lot more neighborhood streets

528
00:26:25,873 --> 00:26:28,140
that we are not proactively doing this on.

529
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:30,250
We align more on citizens.

530
00:26:30,250 --> 00:26:32,864
To update us on service requests.

531
00:26:32,864 --> 00:26:35,864
On streets are major thoroughfares

532
00:26:35,934 --> 00:26:39,434
come there's a lot of tourism and business from the community?

533
00:26:39,434 --> 00:26:40,393
Traveling through the.

534
00:26:40,393 --> 00:26:41,194
Focus.

535
00:26:41,194 --> 00:26:44,178
Next slide has a summary results.

536
00:26:44,178 --> 00:26:48,978
Since we started the program in July of 2025,

537
00:26:50,167 --> 00:26:52,554
this was as of three weeks ago.

538
00:26:52,554 --> 00:26:54,554
6000, over 6000 inlets clean.

539
00:26:55,354 --> 00:26:57,640
7400 potholes filled.

540
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,664
3400 miles swept, on these major corridors.

541
00:27:01,670 --> 00:27:06,210
In addition, when we were out inspecting Mallory Heights

542
00:27:06,210 --> 00:27:10,445
MLG W is also doing lead service line replacement work.

543
00:27:10,445 --> 00:27:12,640
If you go out to this area, there's

544
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,150
a lot of street work going on.

545
00:27:16,150 --> 00:27:19,150
They're cutting the asphalt. Replacing

546
00:27:19,179 --> 00:27:22,740
the private lead service line.

547
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:23,687
Then, once they go down the street

548
00:27:23,687 --> 00:27:26,300
and finish all of those locations,

549
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:28,487
their contractors milling the street.

550
00:27:28,487 --> 00:27:29,707
As well as paving the street.

551
00:27:29,707 --> 00:27:31,994
Some of the streets have been paved.

552
00:27:31,994 --> 00:27:35,274
Other streets are in progress of replacing the lead service

553
00:27:35,274 --> 00:27:37,611
lines on these areas.

554
00:27:37,611 --> 00:27:39,271
And they will be paved.

555
00:27:39,271 --> 00:27:42,697
If you get to the next slide -- this was from a couple weeks

556
00:27:42,697 --> 00:27:43,197
ago.

557
00:27:43,197 --> 00:27:46,574
This is where the service crews are currently working.

558
00:27:46,574 --> 00:27:48,383
Their next locations.

559
00:27:48,383 --> 00:27:51,964
And then, there's a map on the next page.

560
00:27:51,964 --> 00:27:55,378
So those same locations are the ones that are highlighted,

561
00:27:55,378 --> 00:27:57,260
of where their water crews are working

562
00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:59,954
to replace lead service lines.

563
00:27:59,954 --> 00:28:04,754
In addition to the request about Mallory Heights,

564
00:28:05,533 --> 00:28:10,333
there is a discussion about citizens or businesses

565
00:28:10,784 --> 00:28:12,784
blowing grass clippings.

566
00:28:13,274 --> 00:28:14,702
Leaves.

567
00:28:14,702 --> 00:28:15,202
Limbs.

568
00:28:15,202 --> 00:28:17,858
Putting those in the drainage system.

569
00:28:17,858 --> 00:28:22,167
The city does have an ordinance we have the stormwater program,

570
00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:23,818
which falls under solid waste.

571
00:28:23,818 --> 00:28:25,984
It took a lot of community outreach and community

572
00:28:25,984 --> 00:28:27,106
public education.

573
00:28:27,106 --> 00:28:33,706
As well as issued violations for improper disposal of yard waste

574
00:28:34,670 --> 00:28:37,554
that's one of the items listed in that ordinance.

575
00:28:37,554 --> 00:28:39,314
Number 26.

576
00:28:39,314 --> 00:28:43,242
Collective lawn clippings trees and or branches.

577
00:28:43,242 --> 00:28:47,980
Those are just, these are what you will see?

578
00:28:47,980 --> 00:28:49,980
Folks mother grass.

579
00:28:49,314 --> 00:28:51,554
Whether it's a business or a citizen.

580
00:28:51,554 --> 00:28:53,994
>> What's the financial consequence of that?

581
00:28:53,994 --> 00:28:58,794
>> These stormwater ordinance can find up to $5,000 a day.

582
00:28:58,794 --> 00:29:04,540
What we try to do -- sometimes, we don't have proof.

583
00:29:04,540 --> 00:29:05,851
Somebody might just call it in.

584
00:29:05,851 --> 00:29:07,976
It might just be that my neighbor did this.

585
00:29:07,976 --> 00:29:11,390
We don't know if there's a neighbor dispute type of thing.

586
00:29:11,390 --> 00:29:13,447
We will do an investigation.

587
00:29:13,447 --> 00:29:17,920
We will typically send a mailing to the entire street

588
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:23,799
or the neighborhood that says -- as a courtesy, this is illegal.

589
00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:26,700
>> The police are saying they can give them a ticket.

590
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:26,323
>> Yes.

591
00:29:26,323 --> 00:29:27,544
And then we could as well.

592
00:29:27,544 --> 00:29:32,420
If the citizen call me if anybody reports has proof --

593
00:29:32,420 --> 00:29:33,700
like a picture.

594
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:35,160
A picture of the truck.

595
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,530
A picture of the actual person blowing it in the street.

596
00:29:37,530 --> 00:29:40,402
We will definitely take that, and can

597
00:29:40,402 --> 00:29:42,906
enforce correct word of mouth is a little harder,

598
00:29:42,906 --> 00:29:46,634
when don't have the proof to substantiate it.

599
00:29:46,634 --> 00:29:47,926
>> We need to get the word out.

600
00:29:47,926 --> 00:29:50,577
We see people doing that all the time.

601
00:29:50,577 --> 00:29:52,577
Up to $5,000.

602
00:29:53,194 --> 00:29:54,854
>> Stormwater ordinances up to 5000.

603
00:29:54,854 --> 00:29:57,150
That's an egregious violation.

604
00:29:57,150 --> 00:30:02,834
We have a matrix that we use for assessing civil penalties.

605
00:30:02,834 --> 00:30:06,858
There's a stormwater board that of public Works

606
00:30:06,858 --> 00:30:10,578
does assess a civil penalty, you have to have an appeal process.

607
00:30:10,578 --> 00:30:16,578
They would appeal to the stormwater board for that fine.

608
00:30:16,927 --> 00:30:18,927
>> Okay.

609
00:30:20,434 --> 00:30:21,474
>> Hold on one second.

610
00:30:21,474 --> 00:30:22,754
Councilwoman Logan.

611
00:30:22,754 --> 00:30:23,642
Then Warren.

612
00:30:23,642 --> 00:30:26,420
Then Cooper such an.

613
00:30:26,394 --> 00:30:29,394
>> So -- thank you chair.

614
00:30:29,651 --> 00:30:35,510
For this fine a blowing trees and blowing grass

615
00:30:35,114 --> 00:30:36,539
into the street and drains --

616
00:30:36,539 --> 00:30:38,470
I see it all the time.

617
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,254
Is there a process that we go through

618
00:30:40,254 --> 00:30:43,246
to make sure that our contractors know that as well?

619
00:30:43,246 --> 00:30:44,474
I've seen that.

620
00:30:44,474 --> 00:30:51,674
Second thing -- is there -- how do we let residents know?

621
00:30:55,954 --> 00:31:00,194
>> Jonathan if you will go to the next slide?

622
00:31:00,194 --> 00:31:02,194
There's multiple ways.

623
00:31:03,154 --> 00:31:07,354
Obviously (Indistinct) stormwater program has its own.

624
00:31:13,936 --> 00:31:14,478
>> I'm sorry.

625
00:31:14,478 --> 00:31:17,103
I said how do we let residents know that it is against the law?

626
00:31:17,103 --> 00:31:18,754
This is saying reported to 311?

627
00:31:18,754 --> 00:31:20,340
>> Sorry.

628
00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:22,944
Reporting, you know the illicit discharge

629
00:31:22,944 --> 00:31:25,204
permit there's multiple options stormwater program has

630
00:31:25,204 --> 00:31:29,274
an outline can also have a web page where you can report it

631
00:31:29,274 --> 00:31:31,423
if you want to go to one more slide?

632
00:31:31,423 --> 00:31:33,700
We'll come back?

633
00:31:33,700 --> 00:31:34,704
One more slide.

634
00:31:34,704 --> 00:31:36,331
There you go.

635
00:31:36,331 --> 00:31:40,111
I mean come on on a program come on part of our permit

636
00:31:40,111 --> 00:31:42,274
come we do a lot of community education

637
00:31:42,274 --> 00:31:46,434
similar to community enhancement with Memphis City?

638
00:31:46,434 --> 00:31:49,994
We partner with events fliers, schools, mailers,

639
00:31:49,994 --> 00:31:54,900
social media we pushed up through the comms team?

640
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:58,290
We have done contractor public education events?

641
00:32:00,243 --> 00:32:02,844
Part of our permit, we are required

642
00:32:02,844 --> 00:32:05,404
to have a certain number of public events.

643
00:32:05,404 --> 00:32:07,404
Annual events.

644
00:32:08,740 --> 00:32:11,758
We do way more than what we are required to answer question,

645
00:32:11,758 --> 00:32:13,450
we do mailers.

646
00:32:13,450 --> 00:32:18,850
We reach out to landscaping companies chemical whole hold

647
00:32:20,547 --> 00:32:22,714
public events for them to know I know we're focusing

648
00:32:22,714 --> 00:32:26,266
on your debris we do a lot more than dumping paint down

649
00:32:26,266 --> 00:32:31,170
the storm drain -- or anything other than rain is illegal.

650
00:32:31,170 --> 00:32:37,948
We do a lot of public education just trying to get the word out.

651
00:32:37,948 --> 00:32:39,129
We are starting in schools.

652
00:32:39,129 --> 00:32:41,870
Maybe some of you will have seen the billboards

653
00:32:41,870 --> 00:32:42,174
along the interstate?

654
00:32:42,174 --> 00:32:47,180
The cartoon we created Gurgel connect the storm drain get kids

655
00:32:47,180 --> 00:32:49,167
involved they do a cartoon.

656
00:32:49,167 --> 00:32:51,357
The winner of that cartoon is featured

657
00:32:51,357 --> 00:32:53,770
on the billboard somewhere in the respective school.

658
00:32:53,770 --> 00:32:57,370
We are out there a lot.

659
00:33:08,879 --> 00:33:10,462
>> A lot of people listen to the news.

660
00:33:10,462 --> 00:33:10,471
You know how they do community news or saw?

661
00:33:10,471 --> 00:33:12,763
When they're giving them something else to report other

662
00:33:12,763 --> 00:33:15,420
than shootings in the city.

663
00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:18,938
We could let them know these types of things

664
00:33:18,938 --> 00:33:22,746
connect maybe sponsor the weather permits on the ticket

665
00:33:22,746 --> 00:33:23,754
or something like that.

666
00:33:23,754 --> 00:33:31,554
As well as some of the places that the MLB WG or something

667
00:33:32,307 --> 00:33:33,234
like that.

668
00:33:33,234 --> 00:33:34,540
>> We've done that.

669
00:33:34,540 --> 00:33:35,754
>> I'm glad to hear that.

670
00:33:35,754 --> 00:33:37,954
Could you forward that to the council members?

671
00:33:37,954 --> 00:33:42,698
We can post it on our social media and council page as well?

672
00:33:42,698 --> 00:33:45,736
There's a lot of that going on.

673
00:33:45,736 --> 00:33:49,505
Just like the grass, all of these mobile car washes.

674
00:33:49,505 --> 00:33:53,576
All of these chemicals that are going back into the water.

675
00:33:53,576 --> 00:33:55,611
What is the fine for that?

676
00:33:55,611 --> 00:33:58,514
How are we addressing that?

677
00:33:58,514 --> 00:33:59,602
>> It's the same.

678
00:33:59,602 --> 00:34:01,560
One additional thing on public education --

679
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,174
you also do in the Hispanic community --

680
00:34:05,174 --> 00:34:08,980
we put ads in the friends of Latinas.

681
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:09,574
It's a Spanish news publication.

682
00:34:09,574 --> 00:34:11,378
We do that as well.

683
00:34:11,378 --> 00:34:16,778
Anything related to come a we call it discharge.

684
00:34:18,874 --> 00:34:21,834
Anything that's not like I said rain are permitted use

685
00:34:21,834 --> 00:34:22,954
would be illegal.

686
00:34:22,954 --> 00:34:24,526
To put into the storm drain.

687
00:34:24,526 --> 00:34:25,734
If you see it come report it.

688
00:34:25,734 --> 00:34:28,967
If we see it come our crews are actively come with their driving

689
00:34:28,967 --> 00:34:30,434
to the construction sites.

690
00:34:30,434 --> 00:34:32,660
They are around.

691
00:34:32,660 --> 00:34:35,434
They are looking at different things.

692
00:34:35,434 --> 00:34:37,834
We will enforce it.

693
00:34:38,754 --> 00:34:41,659
>> How much is the fine for the pop up car washes?

694
00:34:41,659 --> 00:34:42,367
>> It's the same.

695
00:34:42,367 --> 00:34:45,447
The storm water -- >> $50 is what you're saying?

696
00:34:45,447 --> 00:34:48,554
>> The storm water fund is up to $5,000 a day.

697
00:34:48,554 --> 00:34:50,554
>> Up to five?

698
00:35:02,137 --> 00:35:02,637
[Crosstalk]

699
00:35:02,637 --> 00:35:02,647
>> I'm not saying we would find that for $5,000.

700
00:35:02,647 --> 00:35:02,654
We have the ability to do that.

701
00:35:02,654 --> 00:35:02,661
We have a matrix that we follow.

702
00:35:02,661 --> 00:35:02,664
It's been approved.

703
00:35:02,664 --> 00:35:04,550
>> There are certain sites.

704
00:35:04,550 --> 00:35:06,586
I know in my district, certain sites,

705
00:35:06,586 --> 00:35:10,374
that they are there every day doing car washes.

706
00:35:10,374 --> 00:35:14,790
If you were driving around -- you know,

707
00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:17,130
you would be able to see them at some point coming for trucks are

708
00:35:17,130 --> 00:35:17,786
driving around.

709
00:35:17,786 --> 00:35:22,400
If you have a piece, a flier that you can hand them to say --

710
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,426
you going to be fined.

711
00:35:23,426 --> 00:35:24,634
You're going to get a ticket.

712
00:35:24,634 --> 00:35:26,931
You could be fined up to $5,000 or what not.

713
00:35:26,931 --> 00:35:29,211
If we come up here and see you again.

714
00:35:29,211 --> 00:35:30,794
Go back the next day and you see them.

715
00:35:30,794 --> 00:35:33,786
You might have to just, because --

716
00:35:33,786 --> 00:35:36,544
it's affecting all the same water.

717
00:35:36,544 --> 00:35:39,319
And then we've got, we have a lot

718
00:35:39,319 --> 00:35:42,100
of things that's impacting our water.

719
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:45,135
I know people feel like that's very trivial.

720
00:35:45,135 --> 00:35:48,330
That people are just trying to make some money or whatever.

721
00:35:48,330 --> 00:35:50,301
If you're putting paint down the drain.

722
00:35:50,301 --> 00:35:51,884
If you're putting grass down the drain

723
00:35:51,884 --> 00:35:54,194
if you're putting chemicals down eventually

724
00:35:54,194 --> 00:35:56,987
it's going to affect the water.

725
00:35:56,987 --> 00:35:58,987
And everybody's health.

726
00:35:59,140 --> 00:36:02,794
>> We do have fliers that we hand out for a site specific

727
00:36:02,794 --> 00:36:03,520
things.

728
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,900
Specifically related to construction sites.

729
00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:08,854
We also have a lot of generic informational fliers

730
00:36:08,854 --> 00:36:13,540
as well paramedic related to additional thing.

731
00:36:13,334 --> 00:36:15,782
Related to the mobile car wash --

732
00:36:15,782 --> 00:36:19,642
a lot of those are being operated on private property.

733
00:36:19,642 --> 00:36:24,167
We will have discussions with the private property owner

734
00:36:24,167 --> 00:36:28,820
that this is a legal activity correct they're allowing them

735
00:36:28,820 --> 00:36:30,290
on the shopping centers correct some are

736
00:36:30,290 --> 00:36:32,834
and some aren't allowing them on the space

737
00:36:32,834 --> 00:36:34,394
>> Is it the property owner?

738
00:36:34,394 --> 00:36:36,474
Who is in violation?

739
00:36:36,474 --> 00:36:38,954
Is the property owner violation?

740
00:36:38,954 --> 00:36:41,900
Where's the person washing the car?

741
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,942
Some of these property owners are out of town.

742
00:36:44,942 --> 00:36:46,650
They don't even know that it's happening.

743
00:36:46,650 --> 00:36:50,434
The people that are there -- like managers and all that come

744
00:36:50,434 --> 00:36:53,734
when they are trying to manage the business they don't have

745
00:36:53,734 --> 00:36:56,838
time to be outside permit some of them or if they do say

746
00:36:56,838 --> 00:36:57,430
something.

747
00:36:57,430 --> 00:37:01,740
You all can send the owners letters.

748
00:37:01,740 --> 00:37:01,860
That's great.

749
00:37:01,860 --> 00:37:03,906
Let's do all of it.

750
00:37:03,906 --> 00:37:07,154
We really have to call me you know.

751
00:37:07,154 --> 00:37:08,654
Give some to the police departments.

752
00:37:08,654 --> 00:37:10,700
They drive by there all the time.

753
00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:12,234
They don't know what to do either.

754
00:37:12,234 --> 00:37:15,394
They will tell them to leave.

755
00:37:15,394 --> 00:37:17,674
They will come right back.

756
00:37:17,674 --> 00:37:18,994
>> Yes Ma'am.

757
00:37:18,994 --> 00:37:20,994
>> I appreciate that.

758
00:37:21,514 --> 00:37:22,718
>> Thank you Councilwoman.

759
00:37:22,718 --> 00:37:27,486
We are going to get Councilman Warren Cooper Sutton and Walker

760
00:37:27,486 --> 00:37:27,986
first.

761
00:37:27,986 --> 00:37:30,154
Real quick come on to piggyback off

762
00:37:30,154 --> 00:37:32,334
what Councilwoman Logan said no we don't

763
00:37:32,334 --> 00:37:33,554
have contract authority.

764
00:37:33,554 --> 00:37:36,517
I would suggest that since we should

765
00:37:36,517 --> 00:37:39,280
come if we're going to find other people and tell them

766
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,731
they can't do it, we shouldn't be allowing any of our city

767
00:37:42,731 --> 00:37:44,269
contractors to do it.

768
00:37:44,269 --> 00:37:45,644
I would say they get one Warning.

769
00:37:45,644 --> 00:37:48,780
If they got doing it again they are

770
00:37:48,780 --> 00:37:49,536
banned from getting a city contract

771
00:37:49,536 --> 00:37:52,754
for a minimum of three years.

772
00:37:52,754 --> 00:37:57,601
That would probably stop a lot of that from going on.

773
00:37:57,601 --> 00:38:01,269
Those that are representing us -- and doing it for the city --

774
00:38:01,269 --> 00:38:03,594
should most importantly abide by the rules.

775
00:38:03,594 --> 00:38:04,794
Councilwoman.

776
00:38:04,794 --> 00:38:05,994
No.

777
00:38:05,994 --> 00:38:07,994
Councilman.

778
00:38:09,274 --> 00:38:12,474
Councilman Warren, followed by Cooper Sutton.

779
00:38:12,474 --> 00:38:13,525
>> Yes.

780
00:38:13,525 --> 00:38:16,762
I am trying to figure out.

781
00:38:16,762 --> 00:38:19,927
People washing cars at the reason

782
00:38:19,927 --> 00:38:23,794
that's a is that when they wash the car,

783
00:38:23,794 --> 00:38:25,994
the soap goes into the drains?

784
00:38:25,994 --> 00:38:29,874
Maybe I'm from a commercial, yes a residential car washing

785
00:38:29,874 --> 00:38:31,314
is allowed.

786
00:38:31,314 --> 00:38:34,314
>> Residential car washing is allowed.

787
00:38:35,651 --> 00:38:37,651
Okay.

788
00:38:38,708 --> 00:38:42,908
So what happens to these other car

789
00:38:46,639 --> 00:38:47,889
washes that are on the corner?

790
00:38:47,889 --> 00:38:47,893
You pay a quarter.

791
00:38:47,893 --> 00:38:47,896
You go in.

792
00:38:47,896 --> 00:38:47,902
Where does all their stuff go?

793
00:38:47,902 --> 00:38:48,569
>> To the sewer.

794
00:38:48,569 --> 00:38:52,234
Commercial car washes -- >> They are not treating it?

795
00:38:52,234 --> 00:38:54,634
>> An established car wash.

796
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:58,240
A separator that is in the way of the car wash.

797
00:38:58,240 --> 00:38:59,654
That is cleaned out.

798
00:38:59,654 --> 00:39:01,654
The overflow (Indistinct)

799
00:39:10,678 --> 00:39:13,530
>> They've got the commercial car washers everything that

800
00:39:13,530 --> 00:39:13,650
collects the soap, separates it, and then they take it and send

801
00:39:13,650 --> 00:39:13,710
it somewhere to get it treated?

802
00:39:13,710 --> 00:39:13,114
What do they do with it?

803
00:39:13,114 --> 00:39:13,927
>> No.

804
00:39:13,927 --> 00:39:17,534
The oil water separator separates the oil and heavy,

805
00:39:17,534 --> 00:39:19,474
it falls into a lot of mud.

806
00:39:19,474 --> 00:39:20,554
That settles out.

807
00:39:20,554 --> 00:39:23,322
That is collected and disposed of.

808
00:39:23,322 --> 00:39:26,754
The water comes to the center sewer system

809
00:39:26,754 --> 00:39:28,514
and treated by the city.

810
00:39:28,514 --> 00:39:30,514
It's not (Indistinct).

811
00:39:35,259 --> 00:39:38,259
Those are commercial establishments (Indistinct)

812
00:39:46,619 --> 00:39:48,619
properly done.

813
00:39:49,956 --> 00:39:50,456
[Crosstalk]

814
00:39:50,456 --> 00:39:50,470
>> Every car wash you see those up there come they all have that

815
00:39:50,470 --> 00:39:52,303
on the bottom, by the way they are designed.

816
00:39:52,303 --> 00:39:57,103
>> (Indistinct) the sewer discharged from the car wash

817
00:39:57,957 --> 00:39:59,820
goes into the sewer system.

818
00:39:59,820 --> 00:39:59,830
Okay.

819
00:39:59,830 --> 00:39:59,910
I guess the other question I have is,

820
00:39:59,910 --> 00:39:59,100
how do you get to do a $5,000 fine,

821
00:39:59,100 --> 00:39:59,746
we can't do anything with a $50 fine?

822
00:39:59,746 --> 00:40:00,866
Where did that come from?

823
00:40:00,866 --> 00:40:03,866
Maybe I'm state law changed.

824
00:40:03,874 --> 00:40:05,554
>> For this.

825
00:40:05,554 --> 00:40:08,308
>> State law probably changed 10 to 12 years ago,

826
00:40:08,308 --> 00:40:10,754
for sewer and stormwater violations.

827
00:40:10,754 --> 00:40:15,554
Sewer violations are up to $10,000 per stormwater is 5000.

828
00:40:16,314 --> 00:40:19,850
>> They can change the state law for that.

829
00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:22,327
But, it takes a constitutional amendment

830
00:40:22,327 --> 00:40:27,127
to allow city government to go more than $50?

831
00:40:41,325 --> 00:40:42,783
>> I'm just thinking out loud here.

832
00:40:42,783 --> 00:40:42,790
Didn't really make much sense to me.

833
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:42,798
Maybe we are talking to Alan to see

834
00:40:42,798 --> 00:40:42,804
if there's something we can do?

835
00:40:42,804 --> 00:40:42,816
I think part of the problem we've had in trying to enforce

836
00:40:42,816 --> 00:40:45,874
things -- we've never been able to go more than 50 bucks.

837
00:40:45,874 --> 00:40:48,160
If you all can do this, maybe we need

838
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,974
to get together with our state legislators come

839
00:40:49,974 --> 00:40:51,618
and see what else they can do for us?

840
00:40:51,618 --> 00:40:54,180
Thank you Mr. Chair.

841
00:40:55,674 --> 00:40:59,274
>> Thank you sir Councilwoman Cooper followed by Walker.

842
00:40:59,274 --> 00:41:00,207
>> Chairman?

843
00:41:00,207 --> 00:41:04,394
I'm going to let Councilwoman Cooper comment Councilwoman

844
00:41:04,394 --> 00:41:10,190
Walker -- go before me I'm going to go somewhere else to these

845
00:41:10,190 --> 00:41:11,134
two.

846
00:41:11,134 --> 00:41:13,220
It's not pertaining to this right now.

847
00:41:13,220 --> 00:41:15,594
Just a little bit about grants.

848
00:41:15,594 --> 00:41:16,687
Okay?

849
00:41:16,687 --> 00:41:17,997
>> All right.

850
00:41:17,997 --> 00:41:19,674
Councilwoman.

851
00:41:19,674 --> 00:41:20,420
>> Okay.

852
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:21,167
Thank you.

853
00:41:21,167 --> 00:41:25,967
That was Madam Chairwoman's question about the grass

854
00:41:34,964 --> 00:41:37,172
framework I will just will let you take care of that.

855
00:41:37,172 --> 00:41:37,180
I know you can't cover it here today.

856
00:41:37,180 --> 00:41:37,651
One why don't you pass 240 -- that is district three.

857
00:41:37,651 --> 00:41:40,274
With the renovation of the corridor --

858
00:41:40,274 --> 00:41:45,634
if you could come back and share the city's role in that?

859
00:41:45,634 --> 00:41:49,714
And then where would we get the information of the status

860
00:41:49,714 --> 00:41:50,994
of the overall project?

861
00:41:50,994 --> 00:41:53,994
Would that be T dot?

862
00:41:54,754 --> 00:41:57,314
>> I think Director Neil has a presentation on the whole

863
00:41:57,314 --> 00:42:01,514
corridor project connecting dots will be here August 18th to talk

864
00:42:01,514 --> 00:42:03,984
about state routes in general.

865
00:42:03,984 --> 00:42:06,384
And their maintenance program.

866
00:42:06,554 --> 00:42:10,507
>> Will they be discussing the Lamar corridor on that day?

867
00:42:10,507 --> 00:42:14,340
Do we need to follow up and make sure they have an update on that

868
00:42:14,340 --> 00:42:15,994
as well?

869
00:42:15,994 --> 00:42:18,314
>> We have an update on everything that was completed

870
00:42:18,314 --> 00:42:20,189
via community enhancement.

871
00:42:20,189 --> 00:42:21,600
The private properties.

872
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,844
The commercial properties court actions?

873
00:42:23,844 --> 00:42:29,844
The litter from Winchester all the way down to Riverside.

874
00:42:29,914 --> 00:42:33,834
We were asked to provide everything we did in house I

875
00:42:33,834 --> 00:42:34,967
haven't spoken with T dot.

876
00:42:34,967 --> 00:42:39,586
I do have an update on grass and all the efforts

877
00:42:39,586 --> 00:42:41,994
that we've completed over the past few weeks,

878
00:42:41,994 --> 00:42:44,514
and what our maintenance plan looks like from

879
00:42:44,514 --> 00:42:46,740
>> 242 state line.

880
00:42:46,740 --> 00:42:49,380
>> I'm speaking with respect to district three.

881
00:42:49,380 --> 00:42:53,580
>> We were asked from Winchester to Riverside.

882
00:42:53,814 --> 00:42:57,610
The corridor and Lamar corridor with this information I

883
00:42:57,610 --> 00:42:58,844
have this morning.

884
00:42:58,844 --> 00:43:00,350
I'm clearing that.

885
00:43:00,350 --> 00:43:06,494
Moving forward for 242 state line who do I request that from?

886
00:43:06,494 --> 00:43:08,660
Maybe I didn't state the question.

887
00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:11,194
>> Can we add that to the T dot next time?

888
00:43:11,194 --> 00:43:12,540
>> Okay.

889
00:43:12,540 --> 00:43:14,540
Thank you.

890
00:43:15,154 --> 00:43:16,924
>> Yes Ma'am.

891
00:43:16,924 --> 00:43:19,154
Councilman Cooper Premier Willett director

892
00:43:19,154 --> 00:43:20,354
Neil presentation.

893
00:43:20,354 --> 00:43:21,986
Thank you here's a quick question.

894
00:43:21,986 --> 00:43:25,402
Just a concern that has been brought to my attention.

895
00:43:25,402 --> 00:43:29,442
This is not the first time I think we've addressed this.

896
00:43:29,442 --> 00:43:33,954
I just wanted to know is there a plan with Public Works

897
00:43:33,954 --> 00:43:35,954
with community enhancement?

898
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,460
As Councilman Ford says.

899
00:43:38,794 --> 00:43:41,980
With neighbors across the street.

900
00:43:41,980 --> 00:43:44,474
Children in our community deserve safe accessible

901
00:43:44,474 --> 00:43:46,474
walkable sidewalks.

902
00:43:46,514 --> 00:43:48,194
School has started.

903
00:43:48,194 --> 00:43:53,354
I have rode around in my car looking at the sidewalks.

904
00:43:53,354 --> 00:43:57,690
That has alarmed me, because of the overgrown trees

905
00:43:57,690 --> 00:44:02,490
and the grass especially in Super district eight.

906
00:44:03,250 --> 00:44:04,882
And nine.

907
00:44:04,882 --> 00:44:06,930
I forget about you.

908
00:44:06,930 --> 00:44:08,540
You make me remember it.

909
00:44:08,540 --> 00:44:10,540
Thank you.

910
00:44:10,754 --> 00:44:14,365
That what part do we play in it?

911
00:44:14,365 --> 00:44:18,354
And how can we partner and coordinate something

912
00:44:18,354 --> 00:44:20,814
with the Memphis Shelby County Schools?

913
00:44:20,814 --> 00:44:23,530
When I see a child have to walk down the street,

914
00:44:23,530 --> 00:44:25,130
that's very alarming to me.

915
00:44:25,130 --> 00:44:27,458
When they're headed to school.

916
00:44:27,458 --> 00:44:29,914
The sidewalk is not accessible.

917
00:44:29,914 --> 00:44:35,206
What I would like for you all to come back with is a plan.

918
00:44:35,206 --> 00:44:40,254
I want every sidewalk and every overgrown tree come a vegetation

919
00:44:40,254 --> 00:44:42,654
-- cleaned up pictures.

920
00:44:43,584 --> 00:44:44,574
Reviewed.

921
00:44:44,574 --> 00:44:46,974
Have my own pictures.

922
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:48,822
I'm not sharing my work with you all.

923
00:44:48,822 --> 00:44:51,222
I am just saying.

924
00:44:51,794 --> 00:44:58,394
We've got to make sure children are safe walking to school.

925
00:45:00,549 --> 00:45:02,674
If they've got to jump in the middle of the street,

926
00:45:02,674 --> 00:45:04,780
because the sidewalk is not accessible --

927
00:45:04,780 --> 00:45:07,234
that is a huge problem.

928
00:45:07,234 --> 00:45:09,218
That's a public safety issue.

929
00:45:09,218 --> 00:45:12,910
My question is -- have you addressed it?

930
00:45:12,910 --> 00:45:14,540
Has this been addressed?

931
00:45:14,540 --> 00:45:15,604
Is there any conversation?

932
00:45:15,604 --> 00:45:17,554
Has there been a conversation?

933
00:45:17,554 --> 00:45:18,874
Is there a plan?

934
00:45:18,874 --> 00:45:20,574
Can we get a plan?

935
00:45:20,574 --> 00:45:26,354
In place -- so that our children can be safe walking to school

936
00:45:26,354 --> 00:45:27,962
on these sidewalks.

937
00:45:27,962 --> 00:45:30,944
What part belongs to us?

938
00:45:30,944 --> 00:45:34,544
We went across the street involved.

939
00:45:34,834 --> 00:45:38,266
We pay city and county taxes.

940
00:45:38,266 --> 00:45:40,314
They need to have some responsibility

941
00:45:40,314 --> 00:45:43,914
and accountability working with you all.

942
00:45:44,650 --> 00:45:47,460
Can you answer that for me please?

943
00:45:47,460 --> 00:45:48,527
>> Yes Ma'am.

944
00:45:48,527 --> 00:45:51,736
Each year before the kids go back to school,

945
00:45:51,736 --> 00:45:56,536
we do lunch a clean pathways or remediation

946
00:46:06,797 --> 00:46:09,339
effort throughout the city, to ensure just what you're asking

947
00:46:09,339 --> 00:46:09,342
is being done.

948
00:46:09,342 --> 00:46:09,350
We started that in the middle of July.

949
00:46:09,350 --> 00:46:09,353
We're compiling metrics.

950
00:46:09,353 --> 00:46:09,358
We are completing the project.

951
00:46:09,358 --> 00:46:09,394
We continue it until we have touched everything

952
00:46:09,394 --> 00:46:11,600
that needs to be touched?

953
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:12,439
Of course this is a joint effort.

954
00:46:12,439 --> 00:46:14,640
Wouldn't talk about trees and sidewalks

955
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,244
connect those items don't fall under the authority of community

956
00:46:17,244 --> 00:46:17,839
enhancement.

957
00:46:17,839 --> 00:46:20,224
We address blighted properties through equities

958
00:46:20,224 --> 00:46:21,894
are privately owned properties.

959
00:46:21,894 --> 00:46:24,874
We are working to complete everything

960
00:46:24,874 --> 00:46:29,418
within at least a five block radius of every Memphis

961
00:46:29,418 --> 00:46:34,114
and Shelby County School project that includes litter pickup.

962
00:46:34,114 --> 00:46:36,470
That includes boarding structures that

963
00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:38,214
may be open to casual entry.

964
00:46:38,214 --> 00:46:40,544
Any blight remediation efforts that

965
00:46:40,544 --> 00:46:42,724
fall under our control in community enhancement

966
00:46:42,724 --> 00:46:45,557
like I said we did start that some time ago,

967
00:46:45,557 --> 00:46:48,674
and are working actively concede that.

968
00:46:48,674 --> 00:46:50,274
As well as actually compile metrics

969
00:46:50,274 --> 00:46:52,474
as we've done for the corridor.

970
00:46:52,474 --> 00:46:56,179
>> The next question is come a school started yesterday.

971
00:46:56,179 --> 00:46:58,108
Was there any observation?

972
00:46:58,108 --> 00:47:00,640
Was there any plan in place?

973
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:01,606
Have you done anything kind of looked

974
00:47:01,606 --> 00:47:03,773
at sidewalks that may have previously been reported,

975
00:47:03,773 --> 00:47:07,114
to make sure those were accessible for the children?

976
00:47:07,114 --> 00:47:09,544
If so -- I went to a record of that.

977
00:47:09,544 --> 00:47:11,944
Documentation of that happening.

978
00:47:12,620 --> 00:47:14,274
>> Yes Ma'am.

979
00:47:14,274 --> 00:47:18,722
>> And -- what we are responsible for --

980
00:47:18,722 --> 00:47:22,247
making this happen paramedic you said this has been in place

981
00:47:22,247 --> 00:47:23,514
since when?

982
00:47:23,514 --> 00:47:26,640
>> Definitely since I've been in community enhancement.

983
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:26,824
Each year.

984
00:47:26,824 --> 00:47:28,170
It's a collective effort.

985
00:47:28,170 --> 00:47:30,182
When we were still under public works

986
00:47:30,182 --> 00:47:32,540
permit this is something that the team believes

987
00:47:32,540 --> 00:47:33,854
in collectively addressing.

988
00:47:33,854 --> 00:47:36,207
Just as you mentioned so the kids

989
00:47:36,207 --> 00:47:38,546
have a clean pathway to go back to school.

990
00:47:38,546 --> 00:47:40,322
Maybe I'm okay.

991
00:47:40,322 --> 00:47:42,184
Have received any complaints from anyone

992
00:47:42,184 --> 00:47:43,634
about these sidewalks?

993
00:47:43,634 --> 00:47:47,194
How often have we addressed them?

994
00:47:47,194 --> 00:47:49,776
>> Sidewalk specifically again do not come to us.

995
00:47:49,776 --> 00:47:53,976
We address anything that is private property. .

996
00:47:55,194 --> 00:47:57,594
>> Who should address that?

997
00:47:58,634 --> 00:48:03,434
to get the sidewalks clean and overgrown trees?

998
00:48:11,870 --> 00:48:12,462
My focus is the children walking.

999
00:48:12,462 --> 00:48:12,467
Children over there in Mitchell.

1000
00:48:12,467 --> 00:48:12,472
Children over there in Jeter.

1001
00:48:12,472 --> 00:48:12,480
What is your district over there that they

1002
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:13,730
walking in Councilwoman Logan?

1003
00:48:13,730 --> 00:48:15,690
I'm saying these children.

1004
00:48:15,690 --> 00:48:18,900
I need to understand.

1005
00:48:19,340 --> 00:48:24,922
Have we addressed them, because they are going in the street

1006
00:48:24,922 --> 00:48:26,850
with oncoming traffic.

1007
00:48:26,850 --> 00:48:29,250
I know your part.

1008
00:48:29,957 --> 00:48:31,730
Was there a meeting?

1009
00:48:31,730 --> 00:48:33,457
School is about to start.

1010
00:48:33,457 --> 00:48:36,314
Team, let's look at this team, let's address this.

1011
00:48:36,314 --> 00:48:39,654
And involve anybody else on the other side.

1012
00:48:39,654 --> 00:48:42,654
Has proactively, was that done?

1013
00:48:45,260 --> 00:48:46,874
Hello?

1014
00:48:46,874 --> 00:48:49,374
>> Probably not perfect that's something that we can discuss

1015
00:48:49,374 --> 00:48:52,374
in the upcoming committee meeting.

1016
00:48:54,754 --> 00:48:55,594
Yeah.

1017
00:48:55,594 --> 00:48:56,434
Unfinished.

1018
00:48:56,434 --> 00:48:59,674
Because we didn't get an answer.

1019
00:48:59,674 --> 00:49:00,931
>> I thought so.

1020
00:49:00,931 --> 00:49:02,658
I know that last year --

1021
00:49:02,658 --> 00:49:05,560
I didn't do it in front of council last year

1022
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,450
I just called director Neil and director Goss,

1023
00:49:08,450 --> 00:49:13,250
and asked about the pathways to schools being cleaned.

1024
00:49:13,250 --> 00:49:17,851
This year on or around June or July, I reached out to say hey,

1025
00:49:17,851 --> 00:49:19,274
are we doing it again?

1026
00:49:19,274 --> 00:49:22,274
Understand that it's being done.

1027
00:49:22,354 --> 00:49:25,466
I think they have been proactive in it.

1028
00:49:25,466 --> 00:49:27,466
It's my understanding.

1029
00:49:27,654 --> 00:49:32,848
If you want some different pictures on those things can

1030
00:49:32,848 --> 00:49:36,306
make it is my understanding -- >> It is in progress.

1031
00:49:36,306 --> 00:49:39,314
As I mentioned, we compiling all the metrics.

1032
00:49:39,314 --> 00:49:40,820
Yes Ma'am.

1033
00:49:40,820 --> 00:49:43,234
We put over 1000 properties thus far.

1034
00:49:43,234 --> 00:49:47,284
We're actively putting again, until we can make a dent.

1035
00:49:47,284 --> 00:49:49,794
There's grass everywhere there's dumping everywhere

1036
00:49:49,794 --> 00:49:52,546
those are the metrics that I have as of today.

1037
00:49:52,546 --> 00:49:57,946
I believe it's 1039 properties thus far around the schools.

1038
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,400
[Indistinct conversation]

1039
00:50:17,723 --> 00:50:20,306
>> If we get a complaint come on public Works would address it

1040
00:50:20,306 --> 00:50:20,314
public works would be responsible for the line

1041
00:50:20,314 --> 00:50:20,321
of sight issues and safety issues --

1042
00:50:20,321 --> 00:50:20,330
whether it's really the traveling public on the street.

1043
00:50:20,330 --> 00:50:20,338
Just because the tree is overhanging the street

1044
00:50:20,338 --> 00:50:22,310
to be down any street?

1045
00:50:22,310 --> 00:50:22,778
Walnut Grove.

1046
00:50:22,778 --> 00:50:24,794
All of those streets have large trees

1047
00:50:24,794 --> 00:50:28,154
and overhanging trees when a limb is affecting actual traffic

1048
00:50:28,154 --> 00:50:30,530
it's low hanging limb and things like that,

1049
00:50:30,530 --> 00:50:31,775
that's what we would clear.

1050
00:50:31,775 --> 00:50:33,567
We're not pruning the trees all the way up.

1051
00:50:33,567 --> 00:50:35,234
We do the same for sidewalks.

1052
00:50:35,234 --> 00:50:37,384
Sidewalks are private property though.

1053
00:50:37,384 --> 00:50:42,554
The sidewalks belong -- they belong to the property owner.

1054
00:50:42,554 --> 00:50:44,938
If there's a line of sight issues coming out

1055
00:50:44,938 --> 00:50:47,620
into the public right of way we would address that,

1056
00:50:47,620 --> 00:50:50,927
to make sure the traveling public is safe.

1057
00:50:50,927 --> 00:50:51,737
>> Okay.

1058
00:50:51,737 --> 00:50:52,237
Pathway.

1059
00:50:52,237 --> 00:50:54,112
The sidewalks and the trees for the children.

1060
00:50:54,112 --> 00:50:55,554
That's what I'm focusing on.

1061
00:50:55,554 --> 00:50:57,834
I'm hearing everything else other

1062
00:50:57,834 --> 00:51:00,870
than come if we done we're supposed to do?

1063
00:51:00,870 --> 00:51:01,397
Is that targeted?

1064
00:51:01,397 --> 00:51:04,367
Come back to me to let me know what you have.

1065
00:51:04,367 --> 00:51:06,140
I have the pictures.

1066
00:51:06,140 --> 00:51:09,434
I just called out some areas that needed to be focused on.

1067
00:51:09,434 --> 00:51:10,334
Councilwoman Logan.

1068
00:51:10,334 --> 00:51:12,914
Do you have an area in district nine

1069
00:51:12,914 --> 00:51:17,634
where that same problem is occurring for our children?

1070
00:51:17,634 --> 00:51:19,434
>> District one.

1071
00:51:19,434 --> 00:51:21,434
Wait a minute.

1072
00:51:21,714 --> 00:51:23,714
>> I actually --

1073
00:51:39,697 --> 00:51:40,197
[Crosstalk]

1074
00:51:40,197 --> 00:51:40,204
>> She didn't get it to you.

1075
00:51:40,204 --> 00:51:40,207
I understand that.

1076
00:51:40,207 --> 00:51:40,215
I think the concern of mine is --

1077
00:51:40,215 --> 00:51:40,224
just knowing that this is project back to school.

1078
00:51:40,224 --> 00:51:40,230
Every year in June we begin.

1079
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:41,114
If you have some egregious errors in your district,

1080
00:51:41,114 --> 00:51:42,714
please send those to us.

1081
00:51:42,714 --> 00:51:45,714
Put those on the list.

1082
00:51:45,874 --> 00:51:49,194
Let's get those done, like in May when school is out.

1083
00:51:49,194 --> 00:51:53,122
Everyone would know that project back to streets cleaning

1084
00:51:53,122 --> 00:51:55,674
cleaning the back to street school cleaning or whatever --

1085
00:51:55,674 --> 00:52:00,594
is in effect from June to so and so every council member will

1086
00:52:00,594 --> 00:52:02,994
send 5 to 10 egregious property.

1087
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,794
You can do your own ongoing thing.

1088
00:52:05,794 --> 00:52:08,167
I think it's just because we don't know.

1089
00:52:08,167 --> 00:52:09,440
We are seeing it every day.

1090
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:10,178
The and things.

1091
00:52:10,178 --> 00:52:12,971
I drove past yesterday, some children in the street.

1092
00:52:12,971 --> 00:52:14,754
I sent it to my analyst.

1093
00:52:14,754 --> 00:52:17,754
I guess we're all seeing it.

1094
00:52:17,754 --> 00:52:19,489
You were doing it not knowing that you're

1095
00:52:19,489 --> 00:52:21,239
doing a project we really appreciate that.

1096
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,389
I think there needs to be, maybe a joint effort

1097
00:52:24,389 --> 00:52:26,789
with the school system.

1098
00:52:27,340 --> 00:52:31,704
Make it a Citywide project, back to school.

1099
00:52:31,704 --> 00:52:33,582
The ongoing thing.

1100
00:52:33,582 --> 00:52:34,290
That's one thing.

1101
00:52:34,290 --> 00:52:40,890
The second thing to ongoing okay -- the ongoing need for.

1102
00:52:42,703 --> 00:52:43,870
We haven't sidewalk program.

1103
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,495
I don't know how robust it is it's only

1104
00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:48,540
for certain income levels or seniors or something like that?

1105
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:50,596
We replace sidewalks we may need to figure out something else

1106
00:52:50,596 --> 00:52:52,740
because cities are aging.

1107
00:52:52,740 --> 00:52:54,234
Have you all thought about partnering

1108
00:52:54,234 --> 00:52:56,794
with some of the local CDCs?

1109
00:52:56,794 --> 00:52:58,554
Or local nonprofits?

1110
00:52:58,554 --> 00:53:02,898
That can you know come and be responsible for monitoring

1111
00:53:02,898 --> 00:53:05,674
a certain area and communicating to you all

1112
00:53:05,674 --> 00:53:07,780
calling the areas that are really involved.

1113
00:53:07,780 --> 00:53:09,629
I mean come with a really bad.

1114
00:53:09,629 --> 00:53:11,500
You can live this property owners

1115
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:15,250
know that they have to do that.

1116
00:53:15,434 --> 00:53:21,434
Just -- maybe having a more structured way of addressing

1117
00:53:21,634 --> 00:53:22,370
this.

1118
00:53:22,370 --> 00:53:26,407
Just answering our call come in two months

1119
00:53:26,407 --> 00:53:28,738
come it's going to be back blighted again.

1120
00:53:28,738 --> 00:53:33,218
I'm saying this for everybody in the room.

1121
00:53:33,218 --> 00:53:34,498
Chief and everybody.

1122
00:53:34,498 --> 00:53:38,602
We need a structured way to get this done come and conjunction

1123
00:53:38,602 --> 00:53:40,274
with those who are responsible.

1124
00:53:40,274 --> 00:53:41,260
Thank you.

1125
00:53:41,260 --> 00:53:41,778
All right.

1126
00:53:41,778 --> 00:53:42,394
Okay.

1127
00:53:42,394 --> 00:53:44,860
Are you finished with your presentation?

1128
00:53:44,860 --> 00:53:46,367
Okay.

1129
00:53:46,367 --> 00:53:48,367
Madam chair?

1130
00:53:49,274 --> 00:53:52,314
>> I asked her to come here comment to be number four.

1131
00:53:52,314 --> 00:53:54,260
Presentation on Lamar corridor.

1132
00:53:54,260 --> 00:53:56,527
I still have not heard anything about the grass.

1133
00:53:56,527 --> 00:53:59,240
All of this is upcoming things for upcoming

1134
00:53:59,240 --> 00:54:01,240
meetings. (Indistinct)

1135
00:54:15,606 --> 00:54:17,564
>> To piggyback on that come hold on one second

1136
00:54:17,564 --> 00:54:17,566
my colleagues?

1137
00:54:17,566 --> 00:54:17,573
I request that you have other topics

1138
00:54:17,573 --> 00:54:17,583
that you want to talk to director Morgan and Director

1139
00:54:17,583 --> 00:54:17,591
Miele about, that you meet with them offline

1140
00:54:17,591 --> 00:54:17,603
or if you want a specific item put on the committee agenda?

1141
00:54:17,603 --> 00:54:17,609
That you add that to that.?

1142
00:54:17,609 --> 00:54:19,401
Can you go through this relatively quickly?

1143
00:54:19,401 --> 00:54:21,401
Thank you.

1144
00:54:39,970 --> 00:54:41,970
[Indistinct conversation]

1145
00:54:56,977 --> 00:54:56,988
>> In October of last year we launched our Lamar Avenue

1146
00:54:56,988 --> 00:54:56,990
corridor revitalization.

1147
00:54:56,990 --> 00:54:56,997
The first aspect of that again --

1148
00:54:56,997 --> 00:54:57,900
started in Winchester it went to the park where Lamar and Airways

1149
00:54:57,900 --> 00:54:57,190
Shopping Center has announced the second phase of that started

1150
00:54:57,190 --> 00:54:58,879
at that intersection and ran all the way to Riverside.

1151
00:54:58,879 --> 00:55:00,714
The metrics that you will hear this morning

1152
00:55:00,714 --> 00:55:03,214
started back in October of 2025.

1153
00:55:03,214 --> 00:55:06,187
When we were asked to come and present

1154
00:55:06,187 --> 00:55:08,858
the efforts that the team completed

1155
00:55:08,858 --> 00:55:12,362
in the past couple of weeks, are included in the presentation.

1156
00:55:12,362 --> 00:55:14,794
As well as our maintenance schedule.

1157
00:55:14,794 --> 00:55:18,354
Of course as chairwoman Swearingen Washington mentioned,

1158
00:55:18,354 --> 00:55:20,730
Lamar's a major gateway within the city.

1159
00:55:20,730 --> 00:55:24,258
It extends out east from the urban core

1160
00:55:24,258 --> 00:55:25,594
to the Mississippi State line.

1161
00:55:25,594 --> 00:55:27,914
Of course it has sustained long standing challenges

1162
00:55:27,914 --> 00:55:31,967
with illegal dumping, overgrowth, litter, and mainly

1163
00:55:31,967 --> 00:55:33,484
deteriorated commercial buildings.

1164
00:55:33,484 --> 00:55:37,434
That was the focus for starting on Landmark Corridor last year.

1165
00:55:37,434 --> 00:55:41,100
Just the number of large, vacant, blighted, commercial

1166
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:42,850
structures protect those parcels of course

1167
00:55:42,850 --> 00:55:45,429
were vacant and open to entry.

1168
00:55:45,429 --> 00:55:47,779
Our first approach was to do an assessment

1169
00:55:47,779 --> 00:55:50,336
to determine where we could have the best bang for our buck,

1170
00:55:50,336 --> 00:55:51,711
to make sure we are communicating

1171
00:55:51,711 --> 00:55:52,914
with those property owners.

1172
00:55:52,914 --> 00:55:55,299
To ensure they weren't just sitting on these properties

1173
00:55:55,299 --> 00:55:57,174
again, these are large commercial structures.

1174
00:55:57,174 --> 00:56:02,374
The old Holiday Inn headquarters park as well as tall trees.

1175
00:56:02,374 --> 00:56:05,194
Very many older long blighted structures

1176
00:56:05,194 --> 00:56:07,594
exist on Lamar corridor.

1177
00:56:07,604 --> 00:56:09,954
Major transportation investments are being made.

1178
00:56:09,954 --> 00:56:11,784
We want to ensure that the condition

1179
00:56:11,784 --> 00:56:16,634
and appearance of the corridor is our priority for us.

1180
00:56:16,634 --> 00:56:19,930
Again, our work begin in October of 2025.

1181
00:56:19,930 --> 00:56:23,530
We began our initial investigative work.

1182
00:56:23,567 --> 00:56:25,927
Since then, we've had extensive cleanups.

1183
00:56:25,927 --> 00:56:27,367
Illegal dumping response.

1184
00:56:27,367 --> 00:56:29,870
Response to overgrowth.

1185
00:56:29,870 --> 00:56:29,900
Litter.

1186
00:56:29,900 --> 00:56:31,900
Commercial property enforcement.

1187
00:56:32,854 --> 00:56:37,540
As well as overall overall corridor assessment

1188
00:56:37,460 --> 00:56:39,994
we continue enforcement of 21 day schedule

1189
00:56:39,994 --> 00:56:43,234
and place every 21 days these properties

1190
00:56:43,234 --> 00:56:46,727
we know that we'd be responsible for renovating on the rotation.

1191
00:56:46,727 --> 00:56:48,894
They've been assigned to at least eight vendors that

1192
00:56:48,894 --> 00:56:50,574
have a section of the corridor.

1193
00:56:50,574 --> 00:56:54,854
Every 21 days, you see the grass being mitigated along the Lamar

1194
00:56:54,854 --> 00:56:55,354
corridor.

1195
00:56:55,354 --> 00:56:57,160
Currently there's ongoing maintenance.

1196
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,314
One of our initiatives was Mississippi beautiful.

1197
00:57:00,314 --> 00:57:01,714
We talked last time about getting

1198
00:57:01,714 --> 00:57:04,794
them engaged com ensuring they included in the maintenance.

1199
00:57:04,794 --> 00:57:07,464
They've done an assessment along the corridor.

1200
00:57:07,464 --> 00:57:09,927
We've identified eight intersections where we

1201
00:57:09,927 --> 00:57:11,514
will be placing the trash cans.

1202
00:57:11,514 --> 00:57:14,178
Winter public services cause out picking up litter,

1203
00:57:14,178 --> 00:57:16,354
they will also be emptying those trash cans.

1204
00:57:16,354 --> 00:57:18,858
Those trash cans are on order, we will definitely

1205
00:57:18,858 --> 00:57:20,290
let you know once they've arrived,

1206
00:57:20,290 --> 00:57:23,740
and they're being placed at those intersections.

1207
00:57:23,740 --> 00:57:27,274
Again come our commercial code enforcement team

1208
00:57:27,500 --> 00:57:28,940
addressed deteriorated, abandoned,

1209
00:57:28,940 --> 00:57:30,754
and nuisance commercial properties.

1210
00:57:30,754 --> 00:57:33,154
Our environmental enforcement team,

1211
00:57:33,447 --> 00:57:35,914
illegal dumping investigations tire shops.

1212
00:57:35,914 --> 00:57:39,620
Also sequester related to just illegal dump site abatement.

1213
00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:43,194
Public services corp -- they address roadside litter,

1214
00:57:43,194 --> 00:57:46,534
cleanup, and just ongoing corridor maintenance.

1215
00:57:46,534 --> 00:57:48,730
Mr. White and his team, of course

1216
00:57:48,730 --> 00:57:50,634
they've had that on constant rotation,

1217
00:57:50,634 --> 00:57:52,706
since October of last year.

1218
00:57:52,706 --> 00:57:57,554
Again come mitigation efforts, that has been placed on rotation

1219
00:57:57,554 --> 00:57:59,439
the team will be out every 21 days.

1220
00:57:59,439 --> 00:58:01,354
Memphis City beautiful as I mentioned

1221
00:58:01,354 --> 00:58:04,314
we will be focusing on long term beautification.

1222
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:07,314
Including installing permanent litter infrastructure

1223
00:58:07,554 --> 00:58:08,679
as I mentioned.

1224
00:58:08,679 --> 00:58:10,179
And we are looking for opportunities

1225
00:58:10,179 --> 00:58:12,554
to partner with some of the smaller businesses

1226
00:58:12,554 --> 00:58:15,370
to ensure that any efforts are planting

1227
00:58:15,370 --> 00:58:17,900
are taking place as well.

1228
00:58:17,900 --> 00:58:18,426
We are engaging with the citizens,

1229
00:58:18,426 --> 00:58:23,354
just to ensure the area around the properties is litter free.

1230
00:58:23,354 --> 00:58:25,734
Just any opportunity for beautification.

1231
00:58:25,734 --> 00:58:28,927
We are working to complete that as well.

1232
00:58:28,927 --> 00:58:33,529
Our overall metrics we have 50 priority commercial court cases

1233
00:58:33,529 --> 00:58:35,749
that were launched during this initiative.

1234
00:58:35,749 --> 00:58:38,149
We mitigated 98 vacant lots.

1235
00:58:38,554 --> 00:58:40,554
1183 tires were removed.

1236
00:58:41,194 --> 00:58:43,594
256 illegal signs were removed?

1237
00:58:44,394 --> 00:58:47,394
328 environmental enforcement violations were mitigated.

1238
00:58:48,794 --> 00:58:53,314
That includes larger scale as well as smaller scale Dumpsites.

1239
00:58:53,314 --> 00:58:53,874
1700.

1240
00:58:53,874 --> 00:58:57,320
A little over 700 trash bags of debris

1241
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,666
were removed by the public services core team.

1242
00:59:00,666 --> 00:59:03,660
1500 0 pounds materials were removed

1243
00:59:03,714 --> 00:59:06,114
by grounds Services team.

1244
00:59:09,274 --> 00:59:12,874
As I mentioned, grass is addressed

1245
00:59:14,546 --> 00:59:15,546
by Ground Services team.

1246
00:59:15,546 --> 00:59:20,180
We are targeting to ensure that any properties that again are

1247
00:59:20,180 --> 00:59:22,614
blighted to protest we know we must put on a maintenance

1248
00:59:22,614 --> 00:59:24,934
schedule -- we are ensuring that's being done.

1249
00:59:24,934 --> 00:59:28,602
All things ground services will be completed every 21 days.

1250
00:59:28,602 --> 00:59:31,842
Again that includes any tires that need to be picked up.

1251
00:59:31,842 --> 00:59:32,434
Mattresses.

1252
00:59:32,434 --> 00:59:33,586
Any discarded debris.

1253
00:59:33,586 --> 00:59:35,140
As well as signs.

1254
00:59:35,140 --> 00:59:36,284
And overgrowth mitigation.

1255
00:59:36,284 --> 00:59:39,884
That's what this particular slide entails.

1256
00:59:40,298 --> 00:59:43,384
As I mentioned, the commercial blight

1257
00:59:43,384 --> 00:59:45,612
in commercial code enforcement efforts,

1258
00:59:45,612 --> 00:59:47,404
what's the root of this particular project.

1259
00:59:47,404 --> 00:59:50,504
We do have before and after photographs.

1260
00:59:50,504 --> 00:59:52,904
C, this ironworks property.

1261
00:59:53,794 --> 00:59:56,818
Here's an example of code enforcement in action.

1262
00:59:56,818 --> 00:59:58,450
We talked to the property owner.

1263
00:59:58,450 --> 01:00:00,442
We sent out notices of violation.

1264
01:00:00,442 --> 01:00:03,354
We got the property in court?

1265
01:00:03,354 --> 01:00:05,766
We do see some change on the facade of the property.

1266
01:00:05,766 --> 01:00:07,474
That is what we are looking to accomplish

1267
01:00:07,474 --> 01:00:08,944
throughout the corridor.

1268
01:00:08,944 --> 01:00:13,474
We have 17 rehabilitation cases there are 16 properties that

1269
01:00:13,474 --> 01:00:15,774
have active in PA cases.

1270
01:00:15,774 --> 01:00:17,674
Seven nonstructural cases.

1271
01:00:17,674 --> 01:00:21,274
Three cases are in in environmental.

1272
01:00:21,394 --> 01:00:23,624
Three properties are going through condemnation.

1273
01:00:23,624 --> 01:00:25,499
Ultimately leading hopefully come demolition.

1274
01:00:25,499 --> 01:00:28,194
As well as there were three pending EPA referrals

1275
01:00:28,194 --> 01:00:33,554
that will be starting the court process as well.

1276
01:00:33,554 --> 01:00:37,754
The next slide just talks about the number of dump sites

1277
01:00:37,754 --> 01:00:38,984
that were mitigated.

1278
01:00:38,984 --> 01:00:41,384
And environmental enforcement violations

1279
01:00:41,774 --> 01:00:46,574
that were mitigated by our environmental enforcement team.

1280
01:00:52,234 --> 01:00:56,113
The next slide again reiterates our efforts by our Public

1281
01:00:56,113 --> 01:00:59,354
Services core team -- and Memphis City beautiful.

1282
01:00:59,354 --> 01:01:01,634
Again, we have eight locations.

1283
01:01:01,634 --> 01:01:04,761
Intersections are identified for trash can receptacles

1284
01:01:04,761 --> 01:01:10,161
to be placed again once they are here installed,

1285
01:01:11,730 --> 01:01:13,464
we definitely provide update to our public services team

1286
01:01:13,464 --> 01:01:17,834
is out there once a month, picking up litter of.

1287
01:01:17,834 --> 01:01:21,854
This is the intersection I believe right

1288
01:01:21,854 --> 01:01:23,730
before Crump starts.

1289
01:01:23,730 --> 01:01:26,562
As to where team did do some grass mitigation.

1290
01:01:26,562 --> 01:01:27,976
This is just an aerial view.

1291
01:01:27,976 --> 01:01:30,934
We are gathering drone footage for these types

1292
01:01:30,934 --> 01:01:31,858
of corridor efforts.

1293
01:01:31,858 --> 01:01:34,242
As those are impact tours.

1294
01:01:34,242 --> 01:01:38,407
Anything that is better shown from up above,

1295
01:01:38,407 --> 01:01:44,407
to see the impact of what our work looks like.

1296
01:01:45,514 --> 01:01:49,143
As I mentioned, we will definitely keep this maintenance

1297
01:01:49,143 --> 01:01:51,600
schedule going public as well as incorporating

1298
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,594
the other thoroughfares and corridors throughout the city.

1299
01:01:54,594 --> 01:01:55,607
Elvis Presley.

1300
01:01:55,607 --> 01:01:56,140
Austin.

1301
01:01:56,140 --> 01:01:56,919
Riverdale.

1302
01:01:56,919 --> 01:01:57,419
Winchester.

1303
01:01:57,419 --> 01:01:59,182
Just about every council district

1304
01:01:59,182 --> 01:02:03,820
we will be incorporating the same thing along those corridors

1305
01:02:03,820 --> 01:02:05,820
as well.

1306
01:02:06,740 --> 01:02:09,140
I believe that is the last slide.

1307
01:02:09,140 --> 01:02:11,679
What you have in front of you that

1308
01:02:11,679 --> 01:02:13,980
was not on the monitor or performing photographs,

1309
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:16,660
with each location mitigated.

1310
01:02:16,660 --> 01:02:18,414
As well as our overall metrics for the project.

1311
01:02:18,414 --> 01:02:20,414
Thank you director.

1312
01:02:20,714 --> 01:02:25,154
Madam chair do you have any questions or comments?

1313
01:02:25,154 --> 01:02:27,154
Okay.
