ashland city pike. Mda will be

76
00:06:02,987 --> 00:06:04,757
present. Also, I'd like to

77
00:06:04,757 --> 00:06:06,324
alert or bring to everyone's

78
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:07,992
attention that there's a

79
00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:09,527
tennessee state university

80
00:06:09,527 --> 00:06:11,964
graduate who also completed one

81
00:06:11,964 --> 00:06:14,465
year of law school who is

82
00:06:14,465 --> 00:06:17,465
missing. If you google lakeisha

83
00:06:18,670 --> 00:06:20,638
gunn, lakesha gunn gunn, you'll

84
00:06:20,638 --> 00:06:23,107
see her picture. There's a tbi,

85
00:06:23,107 --> 00:06:24,909
silver alert for her, silver

86
00:06:24,909 --> 00:06:28,509
alert for her, she's five foot

87
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:30,140
two, 120 pounds. My

88
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:31,449
understanding from the family

89
00:06:31,449 --> 00:06:33,551
is it hasn't really received

90
00:06:33,551 --> 00:06:35,553
the proper attention, so I want

91
00:06:35,553 --> 00:06:38,553
to make sure that everyone

92
00:06:39,570 --> 00:06:40,191
knows that this lady is missing

93
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:42,260
and share that information with

94
00:06:42,260 --> 00:06:42,594
your friends. Thank you.

95
00:06:42,594 --> 00:06:44,594

Thank you, pro tem.

100
00:06:51,669 --> 00:06:54,720
And I do hope that we'll find

101
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,574
miss gunn safe and sound. And I

102
00:06:55,574 --> 00:06:57,375
will share as well. And I

103
00:06:57,375 --> 00:06:59,844
encourage everybody to do so as

104
00:06:59,844 --> 00:07:01,120
well. I want to thank everyone

105
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,213

106
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:03,948

107
00:07:03,948 --> 00:07:06,819
lewis way MARCH. I was very,

108
00:07:06,819 --> 00:07:08,853
very hot. But nashvillians thank you colleagues. That

109
00:07:08,853 --> 00:07:11,523
came the vice mayor, the mayor,

110
00:07:11,523 --> 00:07:13,124
our speaker, reverend dyson and

111
00:07:13,124 --> 00:07:14,158
reverend brown, a whole lot of

112
00:07:14,158 --> 00:07:15,293
them. We have about 15

113
00:07:15,293 --> 00:07:17,195
ministers that serve as a grand

114
00:07:17,195 --> 00:07:19,970
marshal. It was a it was a

115
00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:20,398
beautiful day to step out and

116
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:21,299
step in the footsteps of our%

117
00:07:21,299 --> 00:07:23,670
ancestors. There's been a lot

118
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:24,302
of marches in nashville that

119
00:07:24,302 --> 00:07:25,737
are called to ensure that

120
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:26,971
change happen. And that's what

121
00:07:26,971 --> 00:07:28,541
we were emulating and doing

122
00:07:28,541 --> 00:07:29,741
what they did in those days.

123
00:07:29,741 --> 00:07:31,543
But I also want to remind

124
00:07:31,543 --> 00:07:33,578
everyone that while it was good

125
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:35,480
for us to do that, we also have

126
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,614
to follow it up with action. So

127
00:07:36,614 --> 00:07:38,449
early voting is going on right

128
00:07:38,449 --> 00:07:39,685
now, so we already MARCH. Now

129
00:07:39,685 --> 00:07:41,586
we need to MARCH to the polls.

130
00:07:41,586 --> 00:07:43,454
We need to go vote. And so

131
00:07:43,454 --> 00:07:44,589
please go out and let your

132
00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:45,990
voices be heard. The second

133
00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:47,559
thing that I wanted to do,

134
00:07:47,559 --> 00:07:49,160
MADAM Pro tem, is it's my. I

135
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,962
wanted to welcome a colleague

136
00:07:50,962 --> 00:07:52,397
who. She will stand up. She's a

137
00:07:52,397 --> 00:07:53,498
council member from colorado

138
00:07:53,498 --> 00:07:54,933
springs. Council member

139
00:07:54,933 --> 00:07:56,368
kimberly gold is visiting us,

140
00:07:56,368 --> 00:08:00,568

that you enjoy our proceedings.

145
00:08:08,581 --> 00:08:11,149
Enjoy is a strong word. That's

146
00:08:11,149 --> 00:08:13,519
probably relative, but we

147
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:14,586
welcome you here to nashville.

148
00:08:14,586 --> 00:08:15,754
Hopethat you get some good

149
00:08:15,754 --> 00:08:17,189
food, especially hot chicken,

150
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:18,690
while you're here.

151
00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:20,458
councilmember. Well, she

152
00:08:20,458 --> 00:08:22,327
recognized.

153
00:08:22,327 --> 00:08:23,728
Thank you pro tem.

154
00:08:23,728 --> 00:08:25,830
I have mentioned this before,

155
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:27,732
but the heimerdinger foundation

156
00:08:27,732 --> 00:08:29,367
is a foundation started by the

157
00:08:29,367 --> 00:08:30,568
family of mike heimerdinger,

158
00:08:30,568 --> 00:08:31,669
who used to be the offensive

159
00:08:31,669 --> 00:08:33,438
coordinator for the tennessee

160
00:08:33,438 --> 00:08:35,607
titans, who died of cancer in

161
00:08:35,607 --> 00:08:37,375
2010. The foundation provides

162
00:08:37,375 --> 00:08:38,610
foods for people in active

163
00:08:38,610 --> 00:08:40,712
cancer treatment in davidson

164
00:08:40,712 --> 00:08:42,515
and williamson county, both for

165
00:08:42,515 --> 00:08:43,883
the patient and for another

166
00:08:43,883 --> 00:08:45,818
family member or a caregiver

167
00:08:45,818 --> 00:08:47,652
free of charge for 12 weeks.

168
00:08:47,652 --> 00:08:49,287
And for the first time in quite

169
00:08:49,287 --> 00:08:51,122
a few years, they have openings.

170
00:08:51,122 --> 00:08:53,625
We have openings. When my arm

171
00:08:53,625 --> 00:08:55,590
is actually functioning, I cook

172
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:56,261
and I actually help people heal.

173
00:08:56,261 --> 00:08:57,829
They don't have problems from

174
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:59,764
my cooking, so it's a really

175
00:08:59,764 --> 00:09:01,232
great thing for me to. But if

176
00:09:01,232 --> 00:09:02,767
you would like some information

177
00:09:02,767 --> 00:09:03,701

306
00:34:22,253 --> 00:34:24,253
Thank

307
00:34:26,257 --> 00:34:29,527
you. Pray with me if you would.

308
00:34:29,527 --> 00:34:31,396
Holy and gracious GOD, we give

309
00:34:31,396 --> 00:34:33,831
thanks for this space, this

310
00:34:33,831 --> 00:34:35,266
group of people, all that are

311
00:34:35,266 --> 00:34:37,735
here and gathered. And we also

312
00:34:37,735 --> 00:34:40,271
give thanks for your presence.

313
00:34:40,271 --> 00:34:43,271
Lord, we gather here as

314
00:34:44,275 --> 00:34:46,275
colleagues, friends, neighbors,

315
00:34:46,477 --> 00:34:49,347
and here we are. We're

316
00:34:49,347 --> 00:34:52,183
connected by a shared city, a

317
00:34:52,183 --> 00:34:54,752
holy space, and also a common

318
00:34:54,752 --> 00:34:57,188
hope. And we have a

319
00:34:57,188 --> 00:34:59,230
responsibility to one another.

320
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:01,559
Though we all come from

321
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:03,294
different spaces. I believe

322
00:35:03,294 --> 00:35:04,796
you've created us very unique

323
00:35:04,796 --> 00:35:06,598
and different. We come from

324
00:35:06,598 --> 00:35:08,598
different neighborhoods and

325
00:35:08,766 --> 00:35:10,969
very different experiences and

326
00:35:10,969 --> 00:35:13,805
perspectives, but we are united

327
00:35:13,805 --> 00:35:15,607
by our desire to build a

328
00:35:15,607 --> 00:35:18,700
community where every person

329
00:35:19,177 --> 00:35:21,479
can live and flourish. GOD, we

330
00:35:21,479 --> 00:35:23,581
ask that you bless the members

331
00:35:23,581 --> 00:35:26,500
of this council that are all

332
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:29,287
gathered here. GOD, we ask that

333
00:35:29,287 --> 00:35:31,890
you grant our leaders wisdom,

334
00:35:31,890 --> 00:35:34,325
wisdom that listens before they

335
00:35:34,325 --> 00:35:37,195
they speak. We also pray that

336
00:35:37,195 --> 00:35:39,831
you grant them courage that

337
00:35:39,831 --> 00:35:43,368
chooses what is right over what

338
00:35:43,368 --> 00:35:45,690
is often easy. And also we ask

339
00:35:45,690 --> 00:35:47,672
that you grant them humility

340
00:35:47,672 --> 00:35:49,641
that remembers public services.

341
00:35:49,641 --> 00:35:52,177
Sacred. Lord, in a time when

342
00:35:52,177 --> 00:35:53,712
disagreement can become what

343
00:35:53,712 --> 00:35:56,181
seems to be division, we ask

344
00:35:56,181 --> 00:35:58,716
that you teach us a better way.

345
00:35:58,716 --> 00:36:01,886
Remind us that that unity does

346
00:36:01,886 --> 00:36:03,755
not really require uniformity.

347
00:36:03,755 --> 00:36:05,624
Lord, we don't have to think

348
00:36:05,624 --> 00:36:07,726
alike to work together. So we

349
00:36:07,726 --> 00:36:09,494
ask that you help us meet one

350
00:36:09,494 --> 00:36:11,894
another with patience instead

351
00:36:12,463 --> 00:36:14,566
of anger, and also meet one

352
00:36:14,566 --> 00:36:16,966
another with curiosity instead

353
00:36:17,802 --> 00:36:19,537
of suspicion. And also, of

354
00:36:19,537 --> 00:36:21,439
course, respect. MAY the

355
00:36:21,439 --> 00:36:23,274
decisions that are made here

356
00:36:23,274 --> 00:36:25,644
consider not only those voices

357
00:36:25,644 --> 00:36:28,580
who are always and easily heard,

358
00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:30,748
but also those that are often

359
00:36:30,748 --> 00:36:32,851
overlooked. You know them, lord.

360
00:36:32,851 --> 00:36:34,786
We pray for them. The

361
00:36:34,786 --> 00:36:36,855
struggling family, the neighbor

362
00:36:36,855 --> 00:36:39,255
without secure housing, the

363
00:36:39,390 --> 00:36:42,390
senior that lives alone, the

364
00:36:42,627 --> 00:36:45,530
worker that seeks dignity, and

365
00:36:45,530 --> 00:36:48,733
every person longing to to be

366
00:36:48,733 --> 00:36:51,733
part of something bigger. So

367
00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:55,607
GOD, we ask that our words be

368
00:36:55,607 --> 00:36:57,709
thoughtful and give us sincere

369
00:36:57,709 --> 00:37:00,709
listening, and let our actions

370
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,182
be guided by a common goodness.

371
00:37:04,182 --> 00:37:06,170
Unite us through a shared

372
00:37:06,170 --> 00:37:08,417
commitment to serve faithfully

373
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,890
and perhaps leave this city

374
00:37:11,890 --> 00:37:12,525
better than we found it. With

375
00:37:12,525 --> 00:37:14,259
gratitude for our community and

376
00:37:14,259 --> 00:37:17,859
hope for all its people. We

377
00:37:18,963 --> 00:37:19,364
offer this prayer. Amen.

378
00:37:19,364 --> 00:37:21,364
I

379

00:51:26,477 --> 00:51:27,846
the resistance against data

761
00:51:27,846 --> 00:51:29,414
centers structures that pose

762
00:51:29,414 --> 00:51:30,815
serious risks to our

763
00:51:30,815 --> 00:51:32,885
communities, our wildlife, and

764
00:51:32,885 --> 00:51:34,180
the nashvillians who invest so

765
00:51:34,180 --> 00:51:36,418
wholeheartedly into the health

766
00:51:36,555 --> 00:51:38,656
of this city. I'm asking you to

767
00:51:38,656 --> 00:51:40,491
consider, beyond the 520,000

768
00:51:40,491 --> 00:51:41,926
signatures from people who pay

769
00:51:41,926 --> 00:51:43,762
taxes, create opportunities,

770
00:51:43,762 --> 00:51:44,996
and live their daily lives here,

771
00:51:44,996 --> 00:51:46,197
that passing this legislation

772
00:51:46,197 --> 00:51:48,399
is just the beginning of

773
00:51:48,399 --> 00:51:49,901
necessary restrictions. As an

774
00:51:49,901 --> 00:51:52,337
artist, I see the impact of ai

775
00:51:52,337 --> 00:51:53,505
on creative work every day. Dc

776
00:51:53,505 --> 00:51:55,373
blocks claimed theirs would not

777
00:51:55,373 --> 00:51:57,342
be an ai facility, but their

778
00:51:57,342 --> 00:51:59,210
own website markets them as ai

779
00:51:59,210 --> 00:52:01,312
ready infrastructure. In south

780
00:52:01,312 --> 00:52:02,480
carolina, they bought land, got

781
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:03,948
approved, then came back six

782
00:52:03,948 --> 00:52:06,117
months later asking for more

783
00:52:06,117 --> 00:52:07,486
because of ai demand. As a real

784
00:52:07,486 --> 00:52:08,520
estate professional, I help

785
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:09,954
nashville homeowners navigate

786
00:52:09,954 --> 00:52:11,756
an already complex and

787
00:52:11,756 --> 00:52:13,258
difficult market. I know that

788
00:52:13,258 --> 00:52:15,260
this community opposition of

789
00:52:15,260 --> 00:52:16,828
this scale translates directly

790
00:52:16,828 --> 00:52:17,962
into buyer and seller

791
00:52:17,962 --> 00:52:19,364
hesitation. Hesitation that

792
00:52:19,364 --> 00:52:21,266
erodes confidence and threatens

793
00:52:21,266 --> 00:52:22,267
the wealth of many hard working

794
00:52:22,267 --> 00:52:24,369
nashvillians who spend a

795
00:52:24,369 --> 00:52:25,603
lifetime building this. Lastly,

796
00:52:25,603 --> 00:52:27,238
we know the nashville crayfish

797
00:52:27,238 --> 00:52:29,400
is a federally protected

798
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,542
endangered species whose entire

799
00:52:30,542 --> 00:52:32,377
population lives only here in

800
00:52:32,377 --> 00:52:33,912
mill creek tributaries that run

801
00:52:33,912 --> 00:52:35,847
through the zoo. The zoo is one

802
00:52:35,847 --> 00:52:36,781
of many habitats that could be

803
00:52:36,781 --> 00:52:38,449
threatened by data centers,

804
00:52:38,449 --> 00:52:39,984
light pollution, noise and

805
00:52:39,984 --> 00:52:41,786
environmental disruption, and

806
00:52:41,786 --> 00:52:43,488
no city's resources. Land,

807
00:52:43,488 --> 00:52:45,523
water or wildlife should be

808
00:52:45,523 --> 00:52:47,910
ever put at risk for a company

809
00:52:47,910 --> 00:52:48,493
like dc blox, whose own website

810
00:52:48,493 --> 00:52:50,295
lists their priorities as

811
00:52:50,295 --> 00:52:52,960
employees first, customers

812
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:53,531
second and investors third.

813
00:52:53,531 --> 00:52:55,833
Nashville is nowhere on that

814
00:52:55,833 --> 00:52:57,436
list. Bill 2026 1391 is just

815
00:52:57,436 --> 00:52:58,236
the beginning. Protect

816
00:52:58,236 --> 00:52:59,671
nashville and thank you for

817
00:52:59,671 --> 00:53:01,671
your time.

818
00:53:02,874 --> 00:53:05,274
Thank you. Next is

819
00:53:05,476 --> 00:53:07,912
man in hall. Also speaking on

820
00:53:07,912 --> 00:53:09,912
ordinance 1391 regarding data

821
00:53:10,114 --> 00:53:12,317
center regulations in support.

822
00:53:12,317 --> 00:53:14,419
Following MISTER Hall will be

823
00:53:14,419 --> 00:53:15,553
charles remke and whitney

824
00:53:15,553 --> 00:53:16,921
adkinson. If you want to go

825
00:53:16,921 --> 00:53:18,756
ahead and come forward, go

826
00:53:18,756 --> 00:53:20,558
ahead, MR. Hall.

827
00:53:20,558 --> 00:53:22,360
Thank you.

828
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,950
Good evening, council members.

829
00:53:24,950 --> 00:53:25,597
I'm thrilled to witness these

830
00:53:25,597 --> 00:53:27,997
data center protections and

831
00:53:28,167 --> 00:53:30,567
regulations passed tonight. Do

832
00:53:32,103 --> 00:53:33,838
not defer. Still, there is way,

833
00:53:33,838 --> 00:53:34,973
way more work that needs to be

834
00:53:34,973 --> 00:53:36,441
done to protect us from the

835
00:53:36,441 --> 00:53:38,243
harms of data center

836
00:53:38,243 --> 00:53:40,120
development. Council members

837
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,814
porterfield, horton, johnston,

838
00:53:41,814 --> 00:53:43,616
suara, nash and many others

839
00:53:43,616 --> 00:53:44,782
have indicated that important

840
00:53:44,782 --> 00:53:47,182
protections and amendments will

841
00:53:47,252 --> 00:53:48,653
not be added tonight to keep

842
00:53:48,653 --> 00:53:50,540
this legislation from being

843
00:53:50,540 --> 00:53:52,454
referred rereferred to the

844
00:53:52,657 --> 00:53:53,992
planning commission. Y'all are

845
00:53:53,992 --> 00:53:56,427
saying that this legislation is

846
00:53:56,427 --> 00:53:57,996
not enough, that this is just

847
00:53:57,996 --> 00:53:59,300
the start, and your

848
00:53:59,300 --> 00:54:01,430
constituents agree they want

849
00:54:01,566 --> 00:54:02,600
more more environmental

850
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,600
protections, more protections

851
00:54:04,769 --> 00:54:07,705
for our air, more protections

852
00:54:07,705 --> 00:54:10,105
for our neighborhoods. We're

853
00:54:10,275 --> 00:54:11,276
asking you that after this

854
00:54:11,276 --> 00:54:13,276
legislation passes tonight,

855
00:54:13,444 --> 00:54:14,879
that you wake up and you get to

856
00:54:14,879 --> 00:54:17,480
work and you continue to find

857
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,185
ways to protect nashvillians

858
00:54:19,185 --> 00:54:21,520
from the harms that these data

859
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,955
centers bring, the harms that

860
00:54:23,955 --> 00:54:25,390
ai brings to our communities.

861
00:54:25,390 --> 00:54:27,559
And I thank you guys for the

862
00:54:27,559 --> 00:54:29,327
work that you are doing, and we

863
00:54:29,327 --> 00:54:31,950
will make sure that work

864
00:54:31,950 --> 00:54:32,530
continues. Thank you.

865
00:54:32,530 --> 00:54:34,530
Thank you.

866
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,400
Next is MR. Remke speaking on

867
00:54:41,172 --> 00:54:42,907
ordinance 1423 regarding this

868
00:54:42,907 --> 00:54:45,143
development and the aspect of

869
00:54:45,143 --> 00:54:46,244
murals related to it in in

870
00:54:46,244 --> 00:54:48,213
opposition. Go ahead, sir.

871
00:54:48,213 --> 00:54:49,480
Thank you, vice mayor, council,

872
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,583
and appreciate the work you do.

873
00:54:51,583 --> 00:54:53,117
I'm chris remke, resident

874
00:54:53,117 --> 00:54:54,552
district 20, a design, build

875
00:54:54,552 --> 00:54:55,988
and development professional

876
00:54:55,988 --> 00:54:56,988
and acting with save our

877
00:54:56,988 --> 00:54:58,823
nashville neighborhoods,

878
00:54:58,823 --> 00:55:00,959
partners, artists and nations

879
00:55:00,959 --> 00:55:03,959
residents. I've read this bill,

880
00:55:04,229 --> 00:55:06,640
the filed amendment, and the

881
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,566
2023 plan that was discussed at

882
00:55:08,566 --> 00:55:10,100
the meeting last night. Last

883
00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:11,436
night, your committee planning

884
00:55:11,436 --> 00:55:12,470
committee passed this bill

885
00:55:12,470 --> 00:55:14,172
believing that the amendment

886
00:55:14,172 --> 00:55:16,740
had teeth that would partners,

887
00:55:16,740 --> 00:55:17,976
the developer would fund the

888
00:55:17,976 --> 00:55:20,745
preservation of ten murals. It

889
00:55:20,745 --> 00:55:23,470
does not. We talked about they

890
00:55:23,470 --> 00:55:25,830
talked about intentions. Are we

891
00:55:25,830 --> 00:55:26,918
to believe that would. Partners.

892
00:55:26,918 --> 00:55:29,318
$1 billion landlord is a

893
00:55:29,787 --> 00:55:31,787
philanthropic organization. The

894
00:55:32,323 --> 00:55:34,323
2026 application documents

895
00:55:34,425 --> 00:55:35,560
traditionally the home for such

896
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,960
comments and where you

897
00:55:38,763 --> 00:55:40,763
memorialize these requirements

898
00:55:42,467 --> 00:55:44,536
are silent on these issues. The

899
00:55:44,536 --> 00:55:46,337
word mural is not in any of the

900
00:55:46,337 --> 00:55:48,337
planning commission documents

901
00:55:50,675 --> 00:55:53,750
for 2026. There's nothing on

902
00:55:53,678 --> 00:55:56,780
who requires funds. There's

903
00:55:56,114 --> 00:55:58,283
just an intention. It does not

904
00:55:58,283 --> 00:56:00,753
hold the permits. If nothing

905
00:56:00,753 --> 00:56:03,153
happens. That's not documented.

906
00:56:06,458 --> 00:56:07,325
What the. Sorry. What the

907
00:56:07,325 --> 00:56:08,993
committee heard was a three

908
00:56:08,993 --> 00:56:11,529
year old intention spoken for

909
00:56:11,529 --> 00:56:12,830
by by council member. Wood

910
00:56:12,830 --> 00:56:14,799
partners was not at the meeting.

911
00:56:14,799 --> 00:56:16,234
No written comment or

912
00:56:16,234 --> 00:56:18,360
participation in the fund

913
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:19,138
without teeth in the text.

914
00:56:19,138 --> 00:56:20,972
There's one obvious option, the

915
00:56:20,972 --> 00:56:22,441
one not discussed last night

916
00:56:22,441 --> 00:56:24,375
disassemble the murals, stack

917
00:56:24,375 --> 00:56:25,443
them in a pile, and leave them

918
00:56:25,443 --> 00:56:27,780
for the neighborhood or art

919
00:56:27,780 --> 00:56:28,790
guild to pick up. That's not

920
00:56:28,790 --> 00:56:29,647
preservation. That's solving

921
00:56:29,647 --> 00:56:30,982
the developer's problem onto

922
00:56:30,982 --> 00:56:33,518
the backs of the neighborhoods

923
00:56:33,518 --> 00:56:34,919
and the artists, MR. Horton

924
00:56:34,919 --> 00:56:36,919
pledges the developer's

925
00:56:37,550 --> 00:56:38,156
attention, intention, prudent

926
00:56:38,156 --> 00:56:39,959
practices would cause the

927
00:56:39,959 --> 00:56:42,359
developer to have to

928
00:56:43,628 --> 00:56:46,628
memorialize these before a vote.

929
00:56:47,498 --> 00:56:49,334
Yes. Bl20261423. The ten murals

930
00:56:49,334 --> 00:56:50,835
will be an indiscretion and a

931
00:56:50,835 --> 00:56:50,969
neglect of stewardship.

932
00:56:50,969 --> 00:56:51,870
Thank

933
00:56:51,870 --> 00:56:52,570
you sir.

934
00:56:52,570 --> 00:56:53,705
Landmarks.

935
00:56:53,705 --> 00:56:55,705
Thank you.

936
00:56:56,875 --> 00:56:59,275
Next is whitney atkinson

937
00:56:59,444 --> 00:57:00,812
speaking on ordinance 1391

938
00:57:00,812 --> 00:57:02,347
regarding data center

939
00:57:02,347 --> 00:57:03,748
regulations in support of

940
00:57:03,748 --> 00:57:06,170
following. MISS Atkinson will

941
00:57:06,170 --> 00:57:07,352
be chris pipkin and carly moffa.

942
00:57:07,352 --> 00:57:08,386
If you would go ahead and come

943
00:57:08,386 --> 00:57:08,953
forward. Go ahead, MISS

944
00:57:08,953 --> 00:57:10,210
Atkinson.

945
00:57:10,210 --> 00:57:11,890
Hi. My name is

946
00:57:11,890 --> 00:57:13,124
whitney atkinson. I live in

947
00:57:13,124 --> 00:57:14,158
district 34. I'm a national zoo

948
00:57:14,158 --> 00:57:15,994
member. Previously was a

949
00:57:15,994 --> 00:57:17,862
nashville zoo docent, currently

950
00:57:17,862 --> 00:57:18,897
work for the nashville humane

951
00:57:18,897 --> 00:57:20,698
association, helping animals

952
00:57:20,698 --> 00:57:22,166
with medical and or behavioral

953
00:57:22,166 --> 00:57:23,301
needs. I would like for you to

954
00:57:23,301 --> 00:57:25,137
think about the effects of

955
00:57:25,137 --> 00:57:26,404
noise from a data center will

956
00:57:26,404 --> 00:57:27,806
have on the zoo's animals.

957
00:57:27,806 --> 00:57:29,308
Research demonstrates that

958
00:57:29,308 --> 00:57:31,760
chronic noise exposure disrupts

959
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,760
animal behavior, increases

960
00:57:33,278 --> 00:57:34,345
stress, interferes with feeding,

961
00:57:34,345 --> 00:57:36,247
reproduction, maternal care and

962
00:57:36,247 --> 00:57:37,916
social interactions, and one

963
00:57:37,916 --> 00:57:39,170
year long study conducted at an

964
00:57:39,170 --> 00:57:40,285
urban zoo increased

965
00:57:40,285 --> 00:57:42,685
construction noise alter the

966
00:57:42,887 --> 00:57:44,355
behavior of every species

967
00:57:44,355 --> 00:57:45,823
observed. Giraffes responded

968
00:57:45,823 --> 00:57:47,626
with increased movement,

969
00:57:47,626 --> 00:57:49,294
vigilance, grooming, and social

970
00:57:49,294 --> 00:57:50,862
behavior, indicating stress,

971
00:57:50,862 --> 00:57:52,230
agitation, and threats. When

972
00:57:52,230 --> 00:57:53,298
exposed to noise, they

973
00:57:53,298 --> 00:57:55,166
consistently move to quieter

974
00:57:55,166 --> 00:57:56,201
areas of their enclosure. They

975
00:57:56,201 --> 00:57:57,302
spent twice as much time

976
00:57:57,302 --> 00:57:59,700
together than normally

977
00:57:59,700 --> 00:58:00,572
perceiving noise as a threat.

978
00:58:00,572 --> 00:58:01,940
After the noise stopped, they

979
00:58:01,940 --> 00:58:03,374
continued. Stress related

980
00:58:03,374 --> 00:58:04,809
behaviors such as pawing and

981
00:58:04,809 --> 00:58:07,450
stomping, indicating that the

982
00:58:07,450 --> 00:58:08,413
harmful effects extended beyond

983
00:58:08,413 --> 00:58:09,881
exposure. Another study found

984
00:58:09,881 --> 00:58:11,717
that noise alter the behavior

985
00:58:11,717 --> 00:58:13,484
of a female bear and her cub

986
00:58:13,484 --> 00:58:15,253
during a six month postpartum

987
00:58:15,253 --> 00:58:16,688
period. Louder days the mom

988
00:58:16,688 --> 00:58:17,956
spent less time foraging and

989
00:58:17,956 --> 00:58:19,991
feeding and more time staying

990
00:58:19,991 --> 00:58:21,794
with her cub, indicating that

991
00:58:21,794 --> 00:58:23,896
elevated noise disrupted normal

992
00:58:23,896 --> 00:58:25,730
maternal behavior. It was a

993
00:58:25,730 --> 00:58:26,798
problem because reduced feeding

994
00:58:26,798 --> 00:58:28,933
negatively affects a mother's%

995
00:58:28,933 --> 00:58:30,369
health and her cubs development.

996
00:58:30,369 --> 00:58:31,870
A four year study of the

997
00:58:31,870 --> 00:58:33,438
effects of noise on bears in a

998
00:58:33,438 --> 00:58:35,106
zoo found that chronic exposure

999
00:58:35,106 --> 00:58:36,808
caused long term stress. Higher

1000
00:58:36,808 --> 00:58:37,976
noise levels were associated

1001
00:58:37,976 --> 00:58:39,410
with increased movement,

1002
00:58:39,410 --> 00:58:40,812
attempts to escape their

1003
00:58:40,812 --> 00:58:42,812
enclosure, more frequent

1004
00:58:42,947 --> 00:58:43,815
scratching and agitated

1005
00:58:43,815 --> 00:58:45,183
vocalizations. Female bears

1006
00:58:45,183 --> 00:58:47,180
were especially sensitive to

1007
00:58:47,180 --> 00:58:48,386
noise during lactation,

1008
00:58:48,386 --> 00:58:50,488
suggesting that chronic noise

1009
00:58:50,488 --> 00:58:51,657
harms maternal health.

1010
00:58:51,657 --> 00:58:53,920
Additional studies have

1011
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:54,492
documented negative impacts

1012
00:58:54,492 --> 00:58:55,927
across many species at the

1013
00:58:55,927 --> 00:58:57,795
national zoo, including

1014
00:58:57,795 --> 00:58:59,564
leopards, gibbons, alligators,

1015
00:58:59,564 --> 00:59:01,366
alpacas, owls, turtles, birds,

1016
00:59:01,366 --> 00:59:02,967
tigers, goats, monkeys, fish,

1017
00:59:02,967 --> 00:59:04,603
snakes and frogs. Together,

1018
00:59:04,603 --> 00:59:05,637
this growing body of scientific

1019
00:59:05,637 --> 00:59:07,637
evidence demonstrates that

1020
00:59:07,806 --> 00:59:09,308
noise from a data center will

1021
00:59:09,308 --> 00:59:11,308
negatively affect animal

1022
00:59:11,776 --> 00:59:12,143
behavior. Thank you.

1023
00:59:12,143 --> 00:59:14,143
Thank you,

1024
00:59:15,713 --> 00:59:18,713
MISS Atkinson. Next is chris

1025
00:59:18,816 --> 00:59:21,186
pipkin speaking on a school

1026
00:59:21,186 --> 00:59:21,886
board matter in opposition. Go

1027
00:59:21,886 --> 00:59:22,787
ahead sir.

1028
00:59:22,787 --> 00:59:24,822
Thank you for having

1029
00:59:24,822 --> 00:59:26,158
me. Unlike most of these people,

1030
00:59:26,158 --> 00:59:28,726
I don't have a well put

1031
00:59:28,726 --> 00:59:31,126
together speech. I'm actually

1032
00:59:31,964 --> 00:59:33,831
here asking for some help. You

1033
00:59:33,831 --> 00:59:36,000
guys should have a document on

1034
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,300
your desk that MR. Aaron evans

1035
00:59:38,300 --> 00:59:39,170
helped me to get in front of

1036
00:59:39,170 --> 00:59:40,772
you. I want to give some

1037
00:59:40,772 --> 00:59:42,373
context to that and really

1038
00:59:42,373 --> 00:59:43,374
raise some awareness to some

1039
00:59:43,374 --> 00:59:45,430
situations that maybe other

1040
00:59:45,430 --> 00:59:47,145
people are going through. My

1041
00:59:47,145 --> 00:59:48,479
daughter was expelled from

1042
00:59:48,479 --> 00:59:50,316
antioch high school for

1043
00:59:50,316 --> 00:59:52,450
allegedly writing a threatening

1044
00:59:52,450 --> 00:59:54,252
note about a gun threat. She

1045
00:59:54,252 --> 00:59:56,454
turned that note into the

1046
00:59:56,454 --> 00:59:58,923
office because she was scared.

1047
00:59:58,923 --> 01:00:01,323
Sh ended up expelled.

1048
01:00:02,493 --> 01:00:04,280
I went out and got a forensic

1049
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,164
handwriting analysis done. On

1050
01:00:06,164 --> 01:00:07,600
that note, based on her

1051
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:08,633
handwriting, you guys have that

1052
01:00:08,633 --> 01:00:11,502
report in front of you that

1053
01:00:11,502 --> 01:00:13,872
shows that she didn't write

1054
01:00:13,872 --> 01:00:16,872
this note yet. Metro nashville

1055
01:00:16,941 --> 01:00:18,243
the school board is still

1056
01:00:18,243 --> 01:00:19,210
continuing with that expulsion.

1057
01:00:19,210 --> 01:00:20,912
They're still upholding it.

1058
01:00:20,912 --> 01:00:22,380
I've been through a lot of

1059
01:00:22,380 --> 01:00:24,380
appeals processes, andi'm

1060
01:00:24,482 --> 01:00:26,551
really getting kind of crickets,

1061
01:00:26,551 --> 01:00:27,619
and I just want that to be made

1062
01:00:27,619 --> 01:00:28,853
aware. Maybe somebody else is

1063
01:00:28,853 --> 01:00:30,989
going through that problem, and

1064
01:00:30,989 --> 01:00:33,125
it MAY be something that needs

1065
01:00:33,125 --> 01:00:34,726
to get some attention in

1066
01:00:34,726 --> 01:00:36,361
nashville. I'll continue being

1067
01:00:36,361 --> 01:00:37,830
at those board meetings,

1068
01:00:37,830 --> 01:00:41,430
asking for help and trying to

1069
01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:44,636
get some, I guess, revision of

1070
01:00:44,636 --> 01:00:46,304
that, of that expulsion. I

1071
01:00:46,304 --> 01:00:47,539
don't know what you guys can do,

1072
01:00:47,539 --> 01:00:49,307
but I'm here just asking for

1073
01:00:49,307 --> 01:00:50,675
any help and attention. And

1074
01:00:50,675 --> 01:00:51,843
that's, that's really all I

1075
01:00:51,843 --> 01:00:52,544
have. Thank you guys.

1076
01:00:52,544 --> 01:00:54,544
All right.

1077
01:00:57,649 --> 01:01:00,585
Thank you. Okay. Next is carly

1078
01:01:00,585 --> 01:01:02,585
moffa speaking regarding

1079
01:01:04,155 --> 01:01:06,155
ordinance 1391 data center

1080
01:01:06,658 --> 01:01:08,459
regulations in support after

1081
01:01:08,459 --> 01:01:10,262
carly moffa will be richard

1082
01:01:10,262 --> 01:01:12,330
massey and lastly, shani

1083
01:01:12,330 --> 01:01:13,865
glapion. Go ahead, carly you're

1084
01:01:13,865 --> 01:01:15,600
recognized.

1085
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,600
Thank you. I'm

1086
01:01:19,204 --> 01:01:21,500
carly, I am a musician in

1087
01:01:21,500 --> 01:01:24,605
nashville and I live, as I've

1088
01:01:27,464 --> 01:01:27,535
mentioned before, less than a

1089
01:01:27,535 --> 01:01:27,609
mile from the zoo. My neighbors

1090
01:01:27,609 --> 01:01:29,615
and I live in modest brick

1091
01:01:29,615 --> 01:01:32,150
homes, not industrial buildings.

1092
01:01:32,584 --> 01:01:33,651
My parents are farmers, my

1093
01:01:33,651 --> 01:01:36,651
grandparents are farmers. And I

1094
01:01:37,555 --> 01:01:40,925
hope one day, sorry, I hope one

1095
01:01:40,925 --> 01:01:42,961
day to also own a farm. And as

1096
01:01:42,961 --> 01:01:45,960
a farmer, I learned how sacred

1097
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,265
water is. You know, I learned

1098
01:01:47,265 --> 01:01:49,802
that we're all connected, that

1099
01:01:49,802 --> 01:01:52,370
what we do on our farm actually

1100
01:01:52,370 --> 01:01:55,370
affects what the person, the

1101
01:01:56,574 --> 01:01:58,743
farmer next to us is able to do.

1102
01:01:58,743 --> 01:02:00,612
And almost most importantly,

1103
01:02:00,612 --> 01:02:03,815
what I learned from my parents

1104
01:02:03,815 --> 01:02:06,751
farming is that once the water

1105
01:02:06,751 --> 01:02:09,751
system is damaged, it's nearly

1106
01:02:11,790 --> 01:02:13,392
impossible to fix. My pop up is

1107
01:02:13,392 --> 01:02:15,293
was from italy. And he used to

1108
01:02:15,293 --> 01:02:16,461
say that knowledge is the one

1109
01:02:16,461 --> 01:02:18,463
thing that no one can take from

1110
01:02:18,463 --> 01:02:20,232
you. They can beat you up, they

1111
01:02:20,232 --> 01:02:21,399
can steal from you, but they

1112
01:02:21,399 --> 01:02:23,268
can't take away what you know.

1113
01:02:23,268 --> 01:02:24,469
And so as someone who would

1114
01:02:24,469 --> 01:02:26,271
live less than a mile from the

1115
01:02:26,271 --> 01:02:27,272
zoo, I started researching, I

1116
01:02:27,272 --> 01:02:28,373
was hungry, I'm hungry for

1117
01:02:28,373 --> 01:02:30,341
knowledge, I'm curious all the

1118
01:02:30,341 --> 01:02:31,543
time. And what I found is that

1119
01:02:31,543 --> 01:02:34,112
even in closed loop systems, as

1120
01:02:34,112 --> 01:02:35,146
your legislation specifies.

1121
01:02:35,146 --> 01:02:36,248
That water systems have

1122
01:02:36,248 --> 01:02:37,415
actually been poisoned in

1123
01:02:37,415 --> 01:02:39,830
cheyenne, wyoming, I'm sure

1124
01:02:39,830 --> 01:02:40,619
you're all aware of that was

1125
01:02:40,619 --> 01:02:42,788
actually a process of like a

1126
01:02:42,788 --> 01:02:43,821
flush, you know, testing these

1127
01:02:43,821 --> 01:02:45,560
pipes and the pressure. They

1128
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,859
were doing like a flush during

1129
01:02:47,859 --> 01:02:49,394
the construction phase and it

1130
01:02:49,394 --> 01:02:50,628
damaged. It was a closed loop

1131
01:02:50,628 --> 01:02:53,865
system and it damaged the water.

1132
01:02:53,865 --> 01:02:55,330
And so I no, I'm running out of

1133
01:02:55,330 --> 01:02:56,801
time. But do you know what

1134
01:02:56,801 --> 01:02:57,903
specific chemicals dc blox uses

1135
01:02:57,903 --> 01:02:59,103
to inhibit the rust? All

1136
01:02:59,103 --> 01:03:01,105
there's so many questions. So

1137
01:03:01,105 --> 01:03:02,208
I'm really grateful for the

1138
01:03:02,208 --> 01:03:04,108
protection that you are all

1139
01:03:04,108 --> 01:03:05,276
trying to give us. And I would

1140
01:03:05,276 --> 01:03:07,780
just ask thatyou continue to

1141
01:03:07,780 --> 01:03:09,381
do that, that you continue to

1142
01:03:09,381 --> 01:03:10,783
question things that just that

1143
01:03:10,783 --> 01:03:11,951
we already have leared through

1144
01:03:11,951 --> 01:03:12,885
other residents living near

1145
01:03:12,885 --> 01:03:14,850
these data centers. Because

1146
01:03:14,850 --> 01:03:15,855
I've compiled a whole list of

1147
01:03:15,855 --> 01:03:17,690
common threads that they

1148
01:03:17,690 --> 01:03:18,230
experience. So thanks.

1149
01:03:18,230 --> 01:03:20,230
Thank

1150
01:03:20,959 --> 01:03:23,796
you, MISS Martha. Next is

1151
01:03:23,796 --> 01:03:26,196
richard massey, speaking also

1152
01:03:27,399 --> 01:03:29,167
on ordinance 1391 regarding

1153
01:03:29,167 --> 01:03:30,969
data center regulation in

1154
01:03:30,969 --> 01:03:31,336
support. Go ahead sir.

1155
01:03:31,336 --> 01:03:33,710
Good

1156
01:03:33,710 --> 01:03:34,239
evening council. I've come all

1157
01:03:34,239 --> 01:03:36,207
the way from the other side of

1158
01:03:36,207 --> 01:03:37,308
the state in memphis to alert

1159
01:03:37,308 --> 01:03:39,770
you of the consequences of

1160
01:03:39,770 --> 01:03:40,246
having ai data centers pop up

1161
01:03:40,246 --> 01:03:42,146
in your backyards at the in the

1162
01:03:42,146 --> 01:03:44,820
depths of the night since JUNE

1163
01:03:44,820 --> 01:03:45,417
of 2024, x ai, which is now

1164
01:03:45,417 --> 01:03:46,919
space x ai has built out

1165
01:03:46,919 --> 01:03:48,152
massive data center campuses in

1166
01:03:48,152 --> 01:03:49,355
the blackest part of the

1167
01:03:49,355 --> 01:03:50,555
blackest city in the united

1168
01:03:50,555 --> 01:03:52,625
states, operating off of

1169
01:03:52,625 --> 01:03:54,930
ethane gas turbines that emit

1170
01:03:54,930 --> 01:03:55,894
formaldehyde and nitrous oxide

1171
01:03:55,894 --> 01:03:57,329
24 over seven, while

1172
01:03:57,329 --> 01:03:58,396
simultaneously draw 800,000

1173
01:03:58,396 --> 01:04:00,232
gallons of water each and every

1174
01:04:00,232 --> 01:04:01,367
day from the memphis sands

1175
01:04:01,367 --> 01:04:02,701
aquifer. Much like the proposed

1176
01:04:02,701 --> 01:04:04,470
data centers here in nashville,

1177
01:04:04,470 --> 01:04:06,204
next to the national zoo and on

1178
01:04:06,204 --> 01:04:07,380
fisk university's campus,

1179
01:04:07,380 --> 01:04:08,874
communities were given little

1180
01:04:08,874 --> 01:04:09,842
to no notice whatsoever before

1181
01:04:09,842 --> 01:04:11,710
executives announced that this

1182
01:04:11,710 --> 01:04:12,778
was already a done deal. But

1183
01:04:12,778 --> 01:04:14,450
folks understand that this

1184
01:04:14,450 --> 01:04:15,648
business model comes with a

1185
01:04:15,648 --> 01:04:17,349
real human cost. There's a

1186
01:04:17,349 --> 01:04:18,517
reason why cities all over the

1187
01:04:18,517 --> 01:04:19,652
country oppose data center

1188
01:04:19,652 --> 01:04:21,520
development, from denver to

1189
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:22,820
seattle to charlotte. That's

1190
01:04:22,820 --> 01:04:24,256
because we need ample time to

1191
01:04:24,256 --> 01:04:25,858
both study and regulate this

1192
01:04:25,858 --> 01:04:27,426
massive technological expansion

1193
01:04:27,426 --> 01:04:28,593
that is exploiting entire

1194
01:04:28,593 --> 01:04:29,994
communities, causing real

1195
01:04:29,994 --> 01:04:31,462
health problems, jacking up

1196
01:04:31,462 --> 01:04:34,400
utility bills and lining the

1197
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,167
pockets of tech executives. Ai

1198
01:04:36,167 --> 01:04:37,669
is human output sold back to us

1199
01:04:37,669 --> 01:04:39,337
at a markup without any

1200
01:04:39,337 --> 01:04:40,472
compensation or credit. This

1201
01:04:40,472 --> 01:04:41,674
technology should work for us,

1202
01:04:41,674 --> 01:04:42,674
not against us. And from what

1203
01:04:42,674 --> 01:04:44,475
we're seeing from north

1204
01:04:44,475 --> 01:04:45,845
nashville to south memphis, ai

1205
01:04:45,845 --> 01:04:46,912
is harming working class

1206
01:04:46,912 --> 01:04:48,379
communities that have already

1207
01:04:48,379 --> 01:04:50,216
suffered from generations of

1208
01:04:50,216 --> 01:04:51,616
legacy pollution. Pass this

1209
01:04:51,616 --> 01:04:53,520
bill that establishes

1210
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:54,453
guardrails, and data centers go

1211
01:04:54,453 --> 01:04:55,520
further by mandating

1212
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,210
environmental impact studies

1213
01:04:57,210 --> 01:04:59,157
and distance from medium sized

1214
01:04:59,157 --> 01:05:00,258
data centers. Mandate quarterly

1215
01:05:00,258 --> 01:05:01,728
reporting for power, demand,

1216
01:05:01,728 --> 01:05:03,128
and protect folks in nashville.

1217
01:05:03,128 --> 01:05:04,796
Prior to the groundbreaking of

1218
01:05:04,796 --> 01:05:05,998
both of these proposed data

1219
01:05:05,998 --> 01:05:07,998
centers. Thank you.

1220
01:05:09,635 --> 01:05:11,300
Thank you.

1221
01:05:11,300 --> 01:05:12,837
Next and last for public

1222
01:05:12,837 --> 01:05:15,237
comment is shawnee glapion,

1223
01:05:15,306 --> 01:05:16,441
also speaking on ordinance 1391

1224
01:05:16,441 --> 01:05:18,309
regarding data center

1225
01:05:18,309 --> 01:05:19,878
regulation in support. Go ahead.

1226
01:05:19,878 --> 01:05:20,778
You didn't say, but not least,

1227
01:05:20,778 --> 01:05:21,613
that's important.

1228
01:05:21,613 --> 01:05:23,613
Oh, yes. Last

1229
01:05:23,681 --> 01:05:26,810
but not least, certainly.

1230
01:05:26,185 --> 01:05:28,454
Shawnee glapion here I am here

1231
01:05:28,454 --> 01:05:31,590
because I of course, like you,

1232
01:05:31,590 --> 01:05:33,459
we know data centers, right? I

1233
01:05:33,459 --> 01:05:34,592
feel like this is going to pass

1234
01:05:34,592 --> 01:05:36,362
the day. I don't think you're

1235
01:05:36,362 --> 01:05:37,362
going to let me or the

1236
01:05:37,362 --> 01:05:38,796
community down. The community

1237
01:05:38,796 --> 01:05:40,632
has not asked for this to be

1238
01:05:40,632 --> 01:05:42,401
deferred, did not ask for. We

1239
01:05:42,401 --> 01:05:44,269
have asked for stronger

1240
01:05:44,269 --> 01:05:45,603
restrictions, but we understand

1241
01:05:45,603 --> 01:05:47,138
that that might have to come

1242
01:05:47,138 --> 01:05:48,840
later. So we are asking you to

1243
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,709
stay locked in with us,

1244
01:05:50,709 --> 01:05:52,478
continue the fight, continue

1245
01:05:52,478 --> 01:05:53,845
having these conversations with

1246
01:05:53,845 --> 01:05:55,813
community. Let's get this thing

1247
01:05:55,813 --> 01:05:57,482
right. But today, let's go

1248
01:05:57,482 --> 01:05:58,917
ahead and pass what we got.

1249
01:05:58,917 --> 01:06:01,119
That's what everybody has asked

1250
01:06:01,119 --> 01:06:02,654
for. Community has not asked

1251
01:06:02,654 --> 01:06:04,322
for deferral. If you are trying

1252
01:06:04,322 --> 01:06:06,859
to put a deferral on the table,

1253
01:06:06,859 --> 01:06:09,360
I'm thinking that you have been

1254
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,563
maybe coaxed by lobbyists or

1255
01:06:11,563 --> 01:06:12,698
corporation or something,

1256
01:06:12,698 --> 01:06:14,132
because the community has not

1257
01:06:14,132 --> 01:06:16,969
asked for this. They've asked

1258
01:06:16,969 --> 01:06:19,538
for a lot. But deferral is not

1259
01:06:19,538 --> 01:06:21,406
it. So look forward to hearing

1260
01:06:21,406 --> 01:06:22,707
your your conversations. Y'all

1261
01:06:22,707 --> 01:06:23,740
have a good night.

1262
01:06:23,740 --> 01:06:25,740
Thank you,

1263
01:06:25,277 --> 01:06:27,790
MISS Glapion. All right, that

1264
01:06:27,790 --> 01:06:29,479
concludes our public comment

1265
01:06:33,885 --> 01:06:35,654
portion of the agenda. Next is

1266
01:06:35,654 --> 01:06:37,822

1270
01:06:41,860 --> 01:06:43,996
included on the consent agenda,

1271
01:06:43,996 --> 01:06:45,300

unanimously by all committees

1273
01:06:47,166 --> 01:06:48,334
to which the item was referred,

1274
01:06:48,334 --> 01:06:50,236
items on the consent agenda

1275
01:06:50,236 --> 01:06:51,537
will be voted on at a single

1276
01:06:51,537 --> 01:06:53,304
time. The item number, along

1277
01:06:53,304 --> 01:06:54,439
with the resolution ordinance

1278
01:06:54,439 --> 01:06:56,307

1279
01:06:56,307 --> 01:06:58,376

1280
01:06:58,376 --> 01:06:59,811
me. Members of the council MAY

1281
01:06:59,811 --> 01:07:01,212
remove any item from the

1282
01:07:01,212 --> 01:07:03,612
consent agenda by request

1283
01:07:03,716 --> 01:07:06,716
before the consent agenda vote

1284
01:07:10,623 --> 01:07:12,757
is taken. All right. The first

1285
01:07:12,757 --> 01:07:15,157

1286
01:07:15,294 --> 01:07:17,694

county in 2026. Sponsor coupon.

1490
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:29,660
You're recognized sir.

1491
01:20:29,660 --> 01:20:30,728
Thank

1492
01:20:30,728 --> 01:20:31,495
you, MADAM PRESIDENT. Committee

1493
01:20:31,495 --> 01:20:32,363
reports please for.

1494
01:20:32,363 --> 01:20:33,364
The report

1495
01:20:33,364 --> 01:20:33,964
of the transportation and

1496
01:20:33,964 --> 01:20:35,320
infrastructure committee chair

1497
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:35,699
evan siegel.

1498
01:20:35,699 --> 01:20:37,635
The transportation

1499
01:20:37,635 --> 01:20:39,403
and infrastructure committee

1500
01:20:39,403 --> 01:20:40,472
recommended a deferral to

1501
01:20:40,472 --> 01:20:42,406
september 15th with nine in

1502
01:20:42,406 --> 01:20:44,408
favor, zero against and zero voting.

1503
01:20:44,408 --> 01:20:45,843
Okay. All right.

1504
01:20:45,843 --> 01:20:46,210
Back to you, MR. Koopman.

1505
01:20:46,210 --> 01:20:47,211
Thank

1506
01:20:47,211 --> 01:20:48,846
you, MADAM PRESIDENT. Like to

1507
01:20:48,846 --> 01:20:50,470
move a deferral to SEPTEMBER

1508
01:20:50,470 --> 01:20:50,147
15th with a brief comment.

1509
01:20:50,147 --> 01:20:51,982
All

1510
01:20:51,982 --> 01:20:52,851
right. Is there a second? Okay.

1511
01:20:52,851 --> 01:20:53,584
Go ahead sir.

1512
01:20:53,584 --> 01:20:55,252
So obviously,

1513
01:20:55,252 --> 01:20:56,655
this is a very important issue.

1514
01:20:56,655 --> 01:20:57,988
As since the inception of this

1515
01:20:57,988 --> 01:20:59,190
bill, I've continued to have to

1516
01:20:59,190 --> 01:21:00,992
update it as more and more

1517
01:21:00,992 --> 01:21:02,426
folks have been killed on our

1518
01:21:02,426 --> 01:21:03,228
streets. We need to be

1519
01:21:03,228 --> 01:21:04,996
committed to vision zero. We

1520
01:21:04,996 --> 01:21:06,163
need to work harder to get

1521
01:21:06,163 --> 01:21:08,990
there. We've got the money to

1522
01:21:08,990 --> 01:21:09,901
do it. We've got the resources

1523
01:21:09,901 --> 01:21:10,936
to do it. And that's why I

1524
01:21:10,936 --> 01:21:12,300
brought this resolution. That

1525
01:21:12,300 --> 01:21:13,238
being said, and that is

1526
01:21:13,238 --> 01:21:14,306
currently in a rfp process for

1527
01:21:14,306 --> 01:21:16,700
vision zero program director

1528
01:21:16,700 --> 01:21:17,209
and a new director of the

1529
01:21:17,209 --> 01:21:18,910
department. And they had asked

1530
01:21:18,910 --> 01:21:20,780
that I continue to give a

1531
01:21:20,780 --> 01:21:21,279
little bit more time so that

1532
01:21:21,279 --> 01:21:22,981
the new staff members don't

1533
01:21:22,981 --> 01:21:24,490
walk into a certain deadline or

1534
01:21:24,490 --> 01:21:25,217
expectation, but rather work

1535
01:21:25,217 --> 01:21:26,952
with them to implement that

1536
01:21:26,952 --> 01:21:27,919
process. So I've agreed to that.

1537
01:21:27,919 --> 01:21:29,454
Hopefully, my colleagues will

1538
01:21:29,454 --> 01:21:31,223
as well. With another deferral

1539
01:21:31,223 --> 01:21:32,524
to the SEPTEMBER 15th meeting,

1540
01:21:32,524 --> 01:21:34,559
which should give enough time

1541
01:21:34,559 --> 01:21:35,527
to kind of get closer to that

1542
01:21:35,527 --> 01:21:36,661
destination. But of course, in

1543
01:21:36,661 --> 01:21:37,762
the meantime, have implored

1544
01:21:37,762 --> 01:21:39,297
mndot to continue to work

1545
01:21:39,297 --> 01:21:40,966
towards these efforts because

1546
01:21:40,966 --> 01:21:42,300
the work can't stop in the

1547
01:21:42,300 --> 01:21:44,300
meantime.

1548
01:21:44,569 --> 01:21:46,671
All right. There is a

1549
01:21:46,671 --> 01:21:50,271
motion to defer to the meeting

1550
01:21:50,743 --> 01:21:53,179
of SEPTEMBER 15th. It is

1551
01:21:53,179 --> 01:21:55,179
properly seconded. MISS

1552
01:21:56,748 --> 01:21:58,951
Sepulveda, you are recognized.

1553
01:21:58,951 --> 01:22:00,720
Thank you, vice mayor. Can I

1554
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,955
inquire when that person will

1555
01:22:02,955 --> 01:22:05,458
be hired? I'm sorry if I think

1556
01:22:05,458 --> 01:22:06,460
I missed that.

1557
01:22:06,460 --> 01:22:07,660
MR. Cooper, are

1558
01:22:07,660 --> 01:22:07,793
you aware? Go ahead, sir.

1559
01:22:07,793 --> 01:22:09,793
Thank

1560
01:22:09,795 --> 01:22:12,732
you. Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT.

1561
01:22:12,732 --> 01:22:13,834
I don't know exactly when that

1562
01:22:13,834 --> 01:22:15,134
person will be hired. I know

1563
01:22:15,134 --> 01:22:16,669
that they're actively engaged

1564
01:22:16,669 --> 01:22:18,738
in that process. And when I

1565
01:22:18,738 --> 01:22:20,106
asked how much time they

1566
01:22:20,106 --> 01:22:22,141
actually said end of SEPTEMBER,

1567
01:22:22,141 --> 01:22:23,342
and I don't want to go all the

1568
01:22:23,342 --> 01:22:25,244
way that far. So I settled on

1569
01:22:25,244 --> 01:22:27,146
SEPTEMBER 15th. So I don't know

1570
01:22:27,146 --> 01:22:28,214
if there's an exact date, but I

1571
01:22:28,214 --> 01:22:28,548
know that they're actively in

1572
01:22:28,548 --> 01:22:29,315
that process.

1573
01:22:29,315 --> 01:22:31,150
And just to

1574
01:22:31,150 --> 01:22:32,351
clarify, rather than a person,

1575
01:22:32,351 --> 01:22:34,220
I believe you said it's an rfp

1576
01:22:34,220 --> 01:22:35,221
for a program manager. So that

1577
01:22:35,221 --> 01:22:36,423
would be a firm.

1578
01:22:36,423 --> 01:22:37,591
Program

1579
01:22:37,591 --> 01:22:38,724
manager for the firm and then

1580
01:22:38,724 --> 01:22:38,959
director for the department

1581
01:22:38,959 --> 01:22:40,394
itself.

1582
01:22:40,394 --> 01:22:40,595
So two different things,

1583
01:22:40,595 --> 01:22:41,661
MISS.

1584
01:22:41,661 --> 01:22:42,629
Thank you, vice mayor.

1585
01:22:42,629 --> 01:22:44,464
I'm actually going to vote

1586
01:22:44,464 --> 01:22:47,201
against the deferral. I think

1587
01:22:47,201 --> 01:22:48,668
we have. We have constituents

1588
01:22:48,668 --> 01:22:51,872
who are dying every day. We

1589
01:22:51,872 --> 01:22:54,272
have constituents who are

1590
01:22:54,441 --> 01:22:55,809
struggling. Currently. I don't

1591
01:22:55,809 --> 01:22:58,450
think we have time to waste. We

1592
01:22:58,450 --> 01:23:00,113
have people who are currently

1593
01:23:00,113 --> 01:23:03,417
at in dot who are responsible

1594
01:23:03,417 --> 01:23:05,886
for this program. I think that

1595
01:23:05,886 --> 01:23:09,122
we we shouldn't be wasting more

1596
01:23:09,122 --> 01:23:10,657
time. I think that our children

1597
01:23:10,657 --> 01:23:12,426
deserve better. Our

1598
01:23:12,426 --> 01:23:14,826
constituents deserve better. We

1599
01:23:15,295 --> 01:23:18,295
deserve better. We have signs

1600
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:20,767
that are up that aren't

1601
01:23:20,767 --> 01:23:22,169
translated in areas of town

1602
01:23:22,169 --> 01:23:25,169
that need to be translated,

1603
01:23:26,730 --> 01:23:29,730
that say, somebody in this

1604
01:23:29,710 --> 01:23:32,513
intersection was hit by a car

1605
01:23:32,513 --> 01:23:34,749
crossing the road. Right. And

1606
01:23:34,749 --> 01:23:37,585
people in my neighborhood can't

1607
01:23:37,585 --> 01:23:38,686
always read that. That's that's

1608
01:23:38,686 --> 01:23:40,989
unacceptable. We, we need to be

1609
01:23:40,989 --> 01:23:43,989
more conscious of what we're

1610
01:23:44,392 --> 01:23:47,295
doing here. It's they have had

1611
01:23:47,295 --> 01:23:49,163
more than enough time to

1612
01:23:49,163 --> 01:23:51,266
address this issue. And so I, I,

1613
01:23:51,266 --> 01:23:54,266
I, respectfully, I, I don't

1614
01:23:54,502 --> 01:23:57,705
wish to wait any longer. And so

1615
01:23:57,705 --> 01:23:59,941
I, I, I'm going to have to

1616
01:23:59,941 --> 01:24:01,709
disagree with that. And I think

1617
01:24:01,709 --> 01:24:03,778
that council member koopman was

1618
01:24:03,778 --> 01:24:05,313
right to file this. And I think

1619
01:24:05,313 --> 01:24:07,482
that we should put more

1620
01:24:07,482 --> 01:24:10,180
pressure on mndot to address

1621
01:24:10,180 --> 01:24:11,152
this issue. We have to do

1622
01:24:11,152 --> 01:24:13,210
better, and we should have been

1623
01:24:13,210 --> 01:24:14,722
doing better a long time ago.

1624
01:24:14,722 --> 01:24:15,757
So I I'm I'm against the

1625
01:24:15,757 --> 01:24:17,757
deferral.

1626
01:24:17,926 --> 01:24:19,427
All right, MISS Welsh,

1627
01:24:19,427 --> 01:24:21,229
you're next in the queue on the

1628
01:24:21,229 --> 01:24:22,364
deferral motion, please, ma'am.

1629
01:24:22,364 --> 01:24:23,532
Thank you, vice mayor. I have

1630
01:24:23,532 --> 01:24:26,168
to concur with everything that

1631
01:24:26,168 --> 01:24:27,336
my colleague said. And also

1632
01:24:27,336 --> 01:24:29,710
just mention that this

1633
01:24:29,710 --> 01:24:29,905
resolution is simply urging

1634
01:24:29,905 --> 01:24:31,472
mndot to do something they

1635
01:24:31,472 --> 01:24:32,675
should have been doing all

1636
01:24:32,675 --> 01:24:34,176
along. And in the budget

1637
01:24:34,176 --> 01:24:37,176
process we just went through,

1638
01:24:38,881 --> 01:24:40,649
we passed a 0.5 percent, 0.0 5%

1639
01:24:40,649 --> 01:24:42,451
tax decrease, that all the

1640
01:24:42,451 --> 01:24:43,886
money came from vision zero.

1641
01:24:43,886 --> 01:24:45,120
This is we're running around in

1642
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:46,856
circles and not doing the

1643
01:24:46,856 --> 01:24:48,624
things we said that we

1644
01:24:48,624 --> 01:24:49,658
were going to do. We fund these

1645
01:24:49,658 --> 01:24:51,427
things with money from vision

1646
01:24:51,427 --> 01:24:52,428
there. That's so important. And

1647
01:24:52,428 --> 01:24:53,763
then we put forward a

1648
01:24:53,763 --> 01:24:55,664
resolution that urges mndot to

1649
01:24:55,664 --> 01:24:56,765
do the right thing for vision

1650
01:24:56,765 --> 01:24:58,601
zero, to do everything they

1651
01:24:58,601 --> 01:25:00,360
possibly can now to stop

1652
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:01,570
pedestrian deaths. I just think

1653
01:25:01,570 --> 01:25:04,600
this is silly, and I think we

1654
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:05,674
can't wait two months to urge

1655
01:25:05,674 --> 01:25:06,876
them to do the right thing. So

1656
01:25:06,876 --> 01:25:07,142
I'll be voting against deferral.

1657
01:25:07,142 --> 01:25:08,677
Thank you.

1658
01:25:08,677 --> 01:25:09,713
All right,

1659
01:25:09,713 --> 01:25:10,113
councilmember evans, you're

1660
01:25:10,113 --> 01:25:11,146
recognized.

1661
01:25:11,146 --> 01:25:12,648
Thank you, vice

1662
01:25:12,648 --> 01:25:14,751
mayor. I, I have been

1663
01:25:14,751 --> 01:25:16,520
influenced by my previous

1664
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:17,754
speaker colleagues here.

1665
01:25:17,754 --> 01:25:19,488
Normally, I would have just

1666
01:25:19,488 --> 01:25:20,991
supported the deferral at the

1667
01:25:20,991 --> 01:25:22,792
request of the sponsor. But the

1668
01:25:22,792 --> 01:25:25,792
reality is, is that departments

1669
01:25:26,329 --> 01:25:28,498
will defer things into oblivion

1670
01:25:28,498 --> 01:25:29,666
if we allow that to happen. And

1671
01:25:29,666 --> 01:25:31,268
to everyone's point, you know,

1672
01:25:31,268 --> 01:25:33,169
this is a conversation that we

1673
01:25:33,169 --> 01:25:35,438
have repeatedly and we see

1674
01:25:35,438 --> 01:25:36,841
accidents and not a lot happens

1675
01:25:36,841 --> 01:25:37,874
or not a lot changes. And so if

1676
01:25:37,874 --> 01:25:39,709
we're not going to urge

1677
01:25:39,709 --> 01:25:41,211
something to happen in the last

1678
01:25:41,211 --> 01:25:42,779
year of this term, then what's

1679
01:25:42,779 --> 01:25:44,581
we MAY as well end the term

1680
01:25:44,581 --> 01:25:45,749
right now, for that matter. So

1681
01:25:45,749 --> 01:25:47,217
I'm going to vote against the

1682
01:25:47,217 --> 01:25:48,319
deferral as well.

1683
01:25:48,319 --> 01:25:50,319
All right.

1684
01:25:50,555 --> 01:25:51,955
Next in the queue, MR. Bradford,

1685
01:25:51,955 --> 01:25:52,355
on the deferral.

1686
01:25:52,355 --> 01:25:54,355
Thank you,

1687
01:25:55,125 --> 01:25:56,693
MADAM Chair. The question I

1688
01:25:56,693 --> 01:25:58,361
have to ask the question I've

1689
01:25:58,361 --> 01:26:01,361
asked before when dealing with

1690
01:26:01,998 --> 01:26:03,934
mndot, give me a number. How

1691
01:26:03,934 --> 01:26:04,969
many more people have to die or

1692
01:26:04,969 --> 01:26:07,738
be hurt before they do

1693
01:26:07,738 --> 01:26:09,207
something? I can't in good

1694
01:26:09,207 --> 01:26:11,607
conscience support a deferral

1695
01:26:12,777 --> 01:26:14,512
on this. Because if some. If

1696
01:26:14,512 --> 01:26:17,148
someone is to get hurt or

1697
01:26:17,148 --> 01:26:19,548
killed between now and

1698
01:26:19,584 --> 01:26:21,486
SEPTEMBER 15th, this body is

1699
01:26:21,486 --> 01:26:23,221
complicit. We cannot complain

1700
01:26:23,221 --> 01:26:24,756
about in not not doing their

1701
01:26:24,756 --> 01:26:26,824
job. If we kick this can down

1702
01:26:26,824 --> 01:26:28,626
the road, we will be just as

1703
01:26:28,626 --> 01:26:31,128
guilty as mndot for any future

1704
01:26:31,128 --> 01:26:32,930
harm caused on our roadways. So

1705
01:26:32,930 --> 01:26:34,332
I'm asking my colleagues, I

1706
01:26:34,332 --> 01:26:36,332
understand the sponsors

1707
01:26:36,801 --> 01:26:38,703
rationale, but to the point

1708
01:26:38,703 --> 01:26:39,770
that was already made, some of

1709
01:26:39,770 --> 01:26:41,372
these departments, if we give

1710
01:26:41,372 --> 01:26:43,341
them an inch, they're going to

1711
01:26:43,341 --> 01:26:45,276
take a mile. So we need to be

1712
01:26:45,276 --> 01:26:48,412
firm and remind them they have

1713
01:26:48,412 --> 01:26:50,214
a job to do to protect our

1714
01:26:50,214 --> 01:26:51,350
constituents, to protect our

1715
01:26:51,350 --> 01:26:53,384
residents, and we're going to

1716
01:26:53,384 --> 01:26:54,886
hold them to that.

1717
01:26:54,886 --> 01:26:56,210
All right.

1718
01:26:56,210 --> 01:26:57,856
MR. Koopman, would you like to

1719
01:26:57,856 --> 01:26:59,224
hear from MISS Allen first, who

1720
01:26:59,224 --> 01:27:01,426
has yet to speak? Councilmember

1721
01:27:01,426 --> 01:27:01,560
allen, you're recognized.

1722
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,529
Thank

1723
01:27:03,529 --> 01:27:05,630
you, MADAM Chair. I rise in

1724
01:27:05,630 --> 01:27:07,533
support of the deferral as a as

1725
01:27:07,533 --> 01:27:08,668
a co-sponsor of this bill, I

1726
01:27:08,668 --> 01:27:10,202
think it's important to send

1727
01:27:10,202 --> 01:27:11,336
the message not just to the

1728
01:27:11,336 --> 01:27:12,437
departments, but to the leaders

1729
01:27:12,437 --> 01:27:14,640
of those departments and to the

1730
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,141
new program director. I guess

1731
01:27:16,141 --> 01:27:17,442
it would help me make a

1732
01:27:17,442 --> 01:27:18,978
decision. I think my colleagues

1733
01:27:18,978 --> 01:27:20,780
make good points about there's

1734
01:27:20,780 --> 01:27:23,282
no time to waste here, but is

1735
01:27:23,282 --> 01:27:25,851
there is there a mechanism for

1736
01:27:25,851 --> 01:27:27,286
rescinding this after those

1737
01:27:27,286 --> 01:27:29,154
those leaders are in place?

1738
01:27:29,154 --> 01:27:30,255
Because I think if it's already

1739
01:27:30,255 --> 01:27:32,570
been sent to the departments

1740
01:27:32,570 --> 01:27:33,193
and it's kind of there in the

1741
01:27:33,193 --> 01:27:34,961
background, it doesn't have the

1742
01:27:34,961 --> 01:27:36,128
same force as sending it. When

1743
01:27:36,128 --> 01:27:38,300
those two new leaders arrive.

1744
01:27:38,300 --> 01:27:39,531
So can someone answer the

1745
01:27:39,531 --> 01:27:41,660
question of is there can we

1746
01:27:41,660 --> 01:27:43,503
guarantee a mechanism that that

1747
01:27:43,503 --> 01:27:45,605
it gets sent twice? If we do

1748
01:27:45,605 --> 01:27:46,806
defer it now according to the

1749
01:27:46,806 --> 01:27:48,141
regular schedule? And then

1750
01:27:48,141 --> 01:27:50,900
again, once these new leaders

1751
01:27:50,900 --> 01:27:51,511
are picked.

1752
01:27:51,511 --> 01:27:53,613
I can put it back

1753
01:27:53,613 --> 01:27:54,981
to the sponsor in regard to

1754
01:27:54,981 --> 01:27:56,683
that commitment. Right. I guess

1755
01:27:56,683 --> 01:27:57,850
he could send the legislation

1756
01:27:57,850 --> 01:27:59,520
upon the arrival of the new

1757
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:00,721
director and otherwise. Or

1758
01:28:00,721 --> 01:28:01,855
would you like me to address it

1759
01:28:01,855 --> 01:28:02,989
to the sponsor or to special

1760
01:28:02,989 --> 01:28:05,389
counsel? Wilson, relative to

1761
01:28:05,525 --> 01:28:05,825
the council office sending

1762
01:28:05,825 --> 01:28:06,893
legislation.

1763
01:28:06,893 --> 01:28:08,361
A set timing that

1764
01:28:08,361 --> 01:28:09,395
that precludes it? I saw

1765
01:28:09,395 --> 01:28:11,364
someone stand up at planning as

1766
01:28:11,364 --> 01:28:12,398
well, but whoever can answer

1767
01:28:12,398 --> 01:28:13,433
that question. So I know what

1768
01:28:13,433 --> 01:28:14,367
I'm working with.

1769
01:28:14,367 --> 01:28:16,367
Okay. Special

1770
01:28:16,603 --> 01:28:18,603
counsel, go ahead.

1771
01:28:19,105 --> 01:28:20,573
Councilmember. There is no set

1772
01:28:20,573 --> 01:28:22,375
timeline or instruction in this

1773
01:28:22,375 --> 01:28:24,478
resolution about who to send it

1774
01:28:24,478 --> 01:28:25,979
to and when. Any explicit

1775
01:28:25,979 --> 01:28:27,748
instruction would require an

1776
01:28:27,748 --> 01:28:29,583
amendment.

1777
01:28:29,583 --> 01:28:30,783
Or special counsel.

1778
01:28:30,783 --> 01:28:32,152
MR. Koopman could just direct

1779
01:28:32,152 --> 01:28:33,520
the council office to please

1780
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:33,920
send it to said persons.

1781
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:35,550
Correct.

1782
01:28:35,550 --> 01:28:35,356
That's also an option,

1783
01:28:35,356 --> 01:28:36,189
vice mayor.

1784
01:28:36,189 --> 01:28:38,189
Okay, thank you,

1785
01:28:38,659 --> 01:28:39,793
MR. Koopman. You're recognized.

1786
01:28:39,793 --> 01:28:40,728
Sorry, sir. Go ahead.

1787
01:28:40,728 --> 01:28:41,695
Thank you,

1788
01:28:41,695 --> 01:28:42,796
MADAM PRESIDENT. I'd like to

1789
01:28:42,796 --> 01:28:44,765
direct the council office to

1790
01:28:44,765 --> 01:28:46,133
send it to those people. But no,

1791
01:28:46,133 --> 01:28:47,802
I actually would like to

1792
01:28:47,802 --> 01:28:49,370
withdraw my motion to defer. I

1793
01:28:49,370 --> 01:28:50,437
think that I appreciate deeply

1794
01:28:50,437 --> 01:28:51,605
my colleague's sentiments. I

1795
01:28:51,605 --> 01:28:53,140
think that there's, you know,

1796
01:28:53,140 --> 01:28:54,208
something to be said about,

1797
01:28:54,208 --> 01:28:55,543
again, letting people come in

1798
01:28:55,543 --> 01:28:57,278
and set them up for success.

1799
01:28:57,278 --> 01:28:58,312
But I agree, I've had too many

1800
01:28:58,312 --> 01:29:00,180
families I've talked to who

1801
01:29:00,180 --> 01:29:01,949
have been hit and killed, have

1802
01:29:01,949 --> 01:29:03,830
had loved ones hit and killed

1803
01:29:03,830 --> 01:29:04,218
again. We've got the money,

1804
01:29:04,218 --> 01:29:06,654
we've got the resources. We

1805
01:29:06,654 --> 01:29:08,422
continue to go down this road.

1806
01:29:08,422 --> 01:29:10,624
This the kind of the date in

1807
01:29:10,624 --> 01:29:12,293
this is an ask for and not to

1808
01:29:12,293 --> 01:29:13,527
come to the transportation and

1809
01:29:13,527 --> 01:29:15,527
infrastructure committee with

1810
01:29:15,663 --> 01:29:17,663
interim solutions before

1811
01:29:18,699 --> 01:29:21,690
DECEMBER 30th, 2026, which give ample time, I think,

1812
01:29:21,690 --> 01:29:22,938
for a new director to come in

1813
01:29:22,938 --> 01:29:25,400
and vision zero to come in and

1814
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:26,841
do this. But I you know, I,

1815
01:29:26,841 --> 01:29:27,943
again, appreciate the

1816
01:29:27,943 --> 01:29:29,770
department's concerns, was

1817
01:29:29,770 --> 01:29:30,278
willing to kind of entertain

1818
01:29:30,278 --> 01:29:31,414
that. But hearing my colleague

1819
01:29:31,414 --> 01:29:32,581
speak and with the importance

1820
01:29:32,581 --> 01:29:34,716
of this, I would withdraw that.

1821
01:29:34,716 --> 01:29:36,218
And with that move for approval.

1822
01:29:36,218 --> 01:29:37,319
Is there a second for the

1823
01:29:37,319 --> 01:29:38,386
motion to approve? Okay. The

1824
01:29:38,386 --> 01:29:39,788
motion to defer has been

1825
01:29:39,788 --> 01:29:41,590
withdrawn. The sponsor has made

1826
01:29:41,590 --> 01:29:43,725
a motion to approve, and it is

1827
01:29:43,725 --> 01:29:44,860
properly seconded. Discussion

1828
01:29:44,860 --> 01:29:45,894
continues on the motion to

1829
01:29:45,894 --> 01:29:47,596
approve. MR. Benton, do you

1830
01:29:47,596 --> 01:29:48,663
seek to be recognized on the

1831
01:29:48,663 --> 01:29:49,431
motion to approve? Go ahead,

1832
01:29:49,431 --> 01:29:51,266
sir.

1833
01:29:51,266 --> 01:29:52,701
I just had a point of

1834
01:29:52,701 --> 01:29:55,270
clarification that I. I guess

1835
01:29:55,270 --> 01:29:57,500
I'm not sure where the e for

1836
01:29:57,500 --> 01:29:59,405
enforcement comes from, because

1837
01:29:59,574 --> 01:30:02,111
we had 200,000 traffic stops in

1838
01:30:02,111 --> 01:30:04,180
2018, and last year we had

1839
01:30:04,180 --> 01:30:06,180
48,000. That's a significant

1840
01:30:06,414 --> 01:30:08,814
decrease. That enforcement came

1841
01:30:10,786 --> 01:30:12,121
from mpd. Maybe the mayor's

1842
01:30:12,121 --> 01:30:14,324
office could help me understand

1843
01:30:14,324 --> 01:30:16,492
vision zero better to I don't

1844
01:30:16,492 --> 01:30:19,492
think mndot has an enforcement

1845
01:30:20,620 --> 01:30:21,631
arm for vision zero. So I'm

1846
01:30:21,631 --> 01:30:24,367
assuming that it's mpd. That

1847
01:30:24,367 --> 01:30:26,235
would be the one. And I don't

1848
01:30:26,235 --> 01:30:28,738
see us keeping the e for

1849
01:30:28,738 --> 01:30:30,973
enforcement up. And I think

1850
01:30:30,973 --> 01:30:32,675
that's there's five pillars and

1851
01:30:32,675 --> 01:30:34,760
we're handling the education,

1852
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:36,760
encouragement, engineering and

1853
01:30:36,279 --> 01:30:38,814
evaluation. But who does the

1854
01:30:38,814 --> 01:30:39,882
enforcement?

1855
01:30:39,882 --> 01:30:41,484
Do you want to

1856
01:30:41,484 --> 01:30:43,519
address that to special counsel?

1857
01:30:43,519 --> 01:30:43,920
I mean, it's mpd traffic

1858
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:45,920
division.

1859
01:30:46,220 --> 01:30:47,823
But yeah, whoever I

1860
01:30:47,823 --> 01:30:50,326
mean, I didn't design vision

1861
01:30:50,326 --> 01:30:52,529
zero, but I know that's part of

1862
01:30:52,529 --> 01:30:53,229
it. That's one of the e's

1863
01:30:53,229 --> 01:30:54,297
enforcement.

1864
01:30:54,297 --> 01:30:55,399
Okay. So your

1865
01:30:55,399 --> 01:30:56,800
question having been answered,

1866
01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:57,867
do you do you want me to

1867
01:30:57,867 --> 01:30:59,360
specifically address it to

1868
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:00,871
somebody or just want to speak

1869
01:31:00,871 --> 01:31:01,103
this into the space for the

1870
01:31:01,103 --> 01:31:02,206
record.

1871
01:31:02,206 --> 01:31:03,774
Either maybe I'm wrong,

1872
01:31:03,774 --> 01:31:04,841
maybe there's another way to

1873
01:31:04,841 --> 01:31:06,176
get enforcement, but I don't

1874
01:31:06,176 --> 01:31:06,577
think we're enforcing.

1875
01:31:06,577 --> 01:31:07,978
Okay. So

1876
01:31:07,978 --> 01:31:09,379
your question specifically is

1877
01:31:09,379 --> 01:31:10,781
at this juncture, who does

1878
01:31:10,781 --> 01:31:11,982
speeding enforcement for the

1879
01:31:11,982 --> 01:31:13,982
metropolitan government? Okay.

1880
01:31:15,853 --> 01:31:17,254
For vision zero.

1881
01:31:17,254 --> 01:31:18,455
Okay. Special

1882
01:31:18,455 --> 01:31:21,291
counsel wilson, do you want to

1883
01:31:21,291 --> 01:31:21,992
take that, sir?

1884
01:31:21,992 --> 01:31:23,992
Council member

1885
01:31:24,995 --> 01:31:28,465
I to my knowledge, there is no

1886
01:31:28,465 --> 01:31:29,533
one specifically targeted for

1887
01:31:29,533 --> 01:31:31,335
enforcement under vision zero.

1888
01:31:31,335 --> 01:31:32,836
However, the the police

1889
01:31:32,836 --> 01:31:35,500
department does do traffic

1890
01:31:35,500 --> 01:31:36,440
enforcement, and the department

1891
01:31:36,440 --> 01:31:37,541
of transportation does have

1892
01:31:37,541 --> 01:31:39,277
limited authority not for

1893
01:31:39,277 --> 01:31:41,144
traffic violations, but for

1894
01:31:41,144 --> 01:31:42,547
parking and such. They would

1895
01:31:42,547 --> 01:31:44,148
also have some authority to act.

1896
01:31:44,148 --> 01:31:45,849
And I know it's almost a

1897
01:31:45,849 --> 01:31:47,919
ridiculous question, but I. I

1898
01:31:47,919 --> 01:31:50,319
see us reducing from 200,000

1899
01:31:51,124 --> 01:31:53,524
stops to 48,000 over our

1900
01:31:54,792 --> 01:31:57,729
failure to reduce our deaths

1901
01:31:57,729 --> 01:31:59,630
and serious injuries, so I how

1902
01:31:59,630 --> 01:31:59,831
do we get that up?

1903
01:31:59,831 --> 01:32:01,699
All right.

1904
01:32:01,699 --> 01:32:03,101
Well, so noted, sir, we're on a

1905
01:32:03,101 --> 01:32:04,769
motion to approve. Thank you.

1906
01:32:04,769 --> 01:32:06,370
Okay. Next in the queue is

1907
01:32:06,370 --> 01:32:07,872
council member eastlick on the

1908
01:32:07,872 --> 01:32:10,308
motion to approve. MR. Eastlick,

1909
01:32:10,308 --> 01:32:11,342
are you still here, sir? Okay.

1910
01:32:11,342 --> 01:32:13,110
Next in the queue is council

1911
01:32:13,110 --> 01:32:14,946
member cash on the motion to

1912
01:32:14,946 --> 01:32:15,980
approve. Go ahead sir. I'm

1913
01:32:15,980 --> 01:32:16,114
sorry. Go ahead sir.

1914
01:32:16,114 --> 01:32:17,916
That's

1915
01:32:17,916 --> 01:32:19,150
fine. Thank you. Chair. I mean,

1916
01:32:19,150 --> 01:32:22,860
I remember in this term that

1917
01:32:22,860 --> 01:32:24,656
there have been like that mpd

1918
01:32:24,656 --> 01:32:26,124
and mndot have have gone out

1919
01:32:26,124 --> 01:32:29,940
together to to do stuff and

1920
01:32:29,940 --> 01:32:31,163
they've teamed up to, to, to do

1921
01:32:31,163 --> 01:32:32,931
some enforcement and related to

1922
01:32:32,931 --> 01:32:35,834
vision zero. I mean, I think

1923
01:32:35,834 --> 01:32:37,503
vision zero is a, is a, you

1924
01:32:37,503 --> 01:32:39,871
know, it's a goal. I don't know

1925
01:32:39,871 --> 01:32:41,473
that it just belongs. It's in

1926
01:32:41,473 --> 01:32:42,775
dot's largely, but it belongs

1927
01:32:42,775 --> 01:32:43,942
to all of us and everybody. I

1928
01:32:43,942 --> 01:32:45,942
think multiple departments

1929
01:32:46,612 --> 01:32:48,314
pitch in to, to try and do

1930
01:32:48,314 --> 01:32:49,582
things better. So I just wanted

1931
01:32:49,582 --> 01:32:50,449
to put that out into the space.

1932
01:32:50,449 --> 01:32:51,617
Thank you.

1933
01:32:51,617 --> 01:32:53,118
Thank you, MR. Cash.

1934
01:32:53,118 --> 01:32:54,520
Council member porterfield,

1935
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:55,588
MADAM Pro tem, you're

1936
01:32:55,588 --> 01:32:56,755
recognized.

1937
01:32:56,755 --> 01:32:57,823
Thank you so very

1938
01:32:57,823 --> 01:33:00,793
much, vice mayor. I just wanted

1939
01:33:00,793 --> 01:33:01,994
to quickly speak into the room.

1940
01:33:01,994 --> 01:33:04,263
I think it's really important

1941
01:33:04,263 --> 01:33:05,431
when we what we say here goes

1942
01:33:05,431 --> 01:33:07,199
on the record. And that becomes

1943
01:33:07,199 --> 01:33:08,267
like the public record. And for

1944
01:33:08,267 --> 01:33:09,435
the viewing audience and for

1945
01:33:09,435 --> 01:33:11,203
people that are watching who

1946
01:33:11,203 --> 01:33:12,238
MAY not understand like the

1947
01:33:12,238 --> 01:33:14,340
bigger context, I think it's

1948
01:33:14,340 --> 01:33:16,175
really important that we set

1949
01:33:16,175 --> 01:33:17,610
the narrative straight. We've

1950
01:33:17,610 --> 01:33:18,777
talked about this plenty of

1951
01:33:18,777 --> 01:33:20,679
times before, prior to any of

1952
01:33:20,679 --> 01:33:21,981
us being on council, except for

1953
01:33:21,981 --> 01:33:23,350
maybe council member allen and

1954
01:33:23,350 --> 01:33:25,184
I think probably councilmember

1955
01:33:25,184 --> 01:33:26,318
weiner. There was a report that

1956
01:33:26,318 --> 01:33:29,789
was done, which was the driving

1957
01:33:29,789 --> 01:33:31,224
while black report that showed

1958
01:33:31,224 --> 01:33:32,691
disparities in black drivers

1959
01:33:32,691 --> 01:33:33,859
being pulled over here in

1960
01:33:33,859 --> 01:33:35,928
nashville and davidson county.

1961
01:33:35,928 --> 01:33:37,300
And as a result of that, mpd

1962
01:33:37,300 --> 01:33:38,231
changed the way that they did

1963
01:33:38,231 --> 01:33:38,664
traffic stops and

1964
01:33:38,664 --> 01:33:40,133
traffic

1965
01:33:40,133 --> 01:33:42,968
enforcement, and they are now

1966
01:33:42,968 --> 01:33:44,837
doing precision policing, which

1967
01:33:44,837 --> 01:33:46,940
has. Evidence has shown that to

1968
01:33:46,940 --> 01:33:48,410
be more accurate. So while the

1969
01:33:48,410 --> 01:33:50,577
number of traffic stops have

1970
01:33:50,577 --> 01:33:52,445
gone down, that's a very data

1971
01:33:52,445 --> 01:33:54,514
driven approach. And it is

1972
01:33:54,514 --> 01:33:55,749
approach that that has reduced

1973
01:33:55,749 --> 01:33:56,783
some of the racial disparities

1974
01:33:56,783 --> 01:33:59,553
that we've seen in this city.

1975
01:33:59,553 --> 01:34:02,880
So cannot directly equate the

1976
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:03,256
number of traffic stops to the

1977
01:34:03,256 --> 01:34:04,558
efficacy of what we're seeing

1978
01:34:04,558 --> 01:34:06,920
with vision zero. These are two

1979
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:07,228
totally separate things. And I

1980
01:34:07,228 --> 01:34:10,300
just wanted to make sure that

1981
01:34:10,300 --> 01:34:12,320
that was spoken into the record.

1982
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:13,200
Thank you. Next in the queue is

1983
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:13,900
council member johnston. Go

1984
01:34:13,900 --> 01:34:15,402
ahead ma'am.

1985
01:34:15,402 --> 01:34:17,402
Previous question.

1986
01:34:18,305 --> 01:34:19,372
Okay. Councilmember johnson has

1987
01:34:19,372 --> 01:34:20,407
called the previous question.

1988
01:34:20,407 --> 01:34:21,942
It's properly seconded

1989
01:34:21,942 --> 01:34:23,243
this non-debatable and requires

1990
01:34:23,243 --> 01:34:24,411
two thirds of those voting. If

1991
01:34:24,411 --> 01:34:25,545
you vote in favor of the

1992
01:34:25,545 --> 01:34:26,346
previous question. Previous

1993
01:34:26,346 --> 01:34:28,281
question, you want to end

1994
01:34:28,281 --> 01:34:29,549
debate and move to the vote.

1995
01:34:29,549 --> 01:34:31,284
And if you want to continue

1996
01:34:31,284 --> 01:34:32,485
debate, you would vote no. All

1997
01:34:32,485 --> 01:34:35,485
in favor? The previous question,

1998
01:34:35,922 --> 01:34:37,991
please say aye. Any voting no.

1999
01:34:37,991 --> 01:34:42,191
The ayes have it. We will move

2000
01:34:43,463 --> 01:34:47,663
to the vote. Okay. All in favor

2001
01:34:48,169 --> 01:34:50,569
of resolution 2064, please say

2002
01:34:52,406 --> 01:34:54,174
I any voting? No. Any

2003
01:34:54,174 --> 01:34:57,174
abstaining? All right. You have

2004
01:34:58,613 --> 01:35:01,130
adopted this resolution. Next

2005
01:35:01,615 --> 01:35:04,615
is agenda item three ordinance

2006
01:35:06,187 --> 01:35:07,588
or rather resolution 2026-2078.

2007
01:35:07,588 --> 01:35:09,223
Sponsors beaucoup and tombs.

2008
01:35:09,223 --> 01:35:10,858
Horton, allen, suarez and ellis.

2009
01:35:10,858 --> 01:35:10,932
This is a resolution approving

2010
01:35:10,932 --> 01:35:12,932
-

2011
01:35:13,327 --> 01:35:15,727
the activities and improvements

2012
01:35:15,997 --> 01:35:18,397
eligible for tax increment

2013
01:35:19,467 --> 01:35:22,370
financing in the arts center

2014
01:35:22,370 --> 01:35:24,205
redevelopment plan. So I know

2015
01:35:24,205 --> 01:35:25,940
last we took up this series of

2016
01:35:25,940 --> 01:35:28,750
bills, it was in fact MISS

2017
01:35:28,750 --> 01:35:31,675
Tombs as a co-sponsor. But are

2018
01:35:32,790 --> 01:35:33,214
you prepared to do a collective

2019
01:35:33,214 --> 01:35:35,217
motion amongst the two of you

2020
01:35:35,217 --> 01:35:36,817
all to kind of clear all this

2021
01:35:36,817 --> 01:35:38,186
out at the same time? MISS

2022
01:35:38,186 --> 01:35:39,387
Tombs, do you recall that last

2023
01:35:39,387 --> 01:35:41,550
time, how we addressed that?

2024
01:35:41,550 --> 01:35:43,224
Would you be okay then, MISS?

2025
01:35:43,224 --> 01:35:45,760
Oh, okay. MISS Tombs, I'm going

2026
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:47,896
to recognize you for the

2027
01:35:47,896 --> 01:35:50,296
committee reports. Given what

2028
01:35:51,132 --> 01:35:55,137
we know the reports to be, then

2029
01:35:55,137 --> 01:35:57,338
by rule. So if we could then,

2030
01:35:57,338 --> 01:35:59,907
MR. Wilson, do I have to read

2031
01:35:59,907 --> 01:36:01,542
them all into the record? Okay,

2032
01:36:01,542 --> 01:36:03,779
I do have to read them all into

2033
01:36:03,779 --> 01:36:06,647
the record, MISS Tombs. And so

2034
01:36:06,647 --> 01:36:09,284
some are sponsored primarily by

2035
01:36:09,284 --> 01:36:10,986
MISS, MISS Tombs, MR. Bradford

2036
01:36:10,986 --> 01:36:12,387
and so forth, but they are all

2037
01:36:12,387 --> 01:36:13,888
related and traveling in a

2038
01:36:13,888 --> 01:36:16,288
similar manner. So again,

2039
01:36:17,926 --> 01:36:20,280
agenda item three, resolution

2040

2316
01:44:37,660 --> 01:44:38,100
Vice mayor. I'd like to move

2318
01:44:38,901 --> 01:44:40,236
Yeah.

2319
01:44:40,236 --> 01:44:41,705
Is there a second? Go ahead,

2320
01:44:41,705 --> 01:44:43,573
ma'am.

2321
01:44:43,573 --> 01:44:45,573
Thank you. Colleagues.

2322
01:44:46,442 --> 01:44:48,143
Tonight, as we consider our is

2323
01:44:48,143 --> 01:44:50,450
2026-2146. We honor more than a

2324
01:44:50,450 --> 01:44:52,249
labor leader. We honor a woman

2325
01:44:52,249 --> 01:44:53,249
who is the heart and soul of

2326
01:44:53,249 --> 01:44:55,417
nashville's labor movement. To

2327
01:44:55,417 --> 01:44:56,986
so many of us, vonda mcdaniel

2328
01:44:56,986 --> 01:44:58,954
was the queen mother of labor

2329
01:44:58,954 --> 01:45:00,890
here in nashville, across

2330
01:45:00,890 --> 01:45:02,224
tennessee, and across our

2331
01:45:02,224 --> 01:45:03,326
nation. Vonda had a rare gift.

2332
01:45:03,326 --> 01:45:04,794
She saw the best in people

2333
01:45:04,794 --> 01:45:06,162
before they saw it in

2334
01:45:06,162 --> 01:45:08,300
themselves. She didn't just

2335
01:45:08,300 --> 01:45:09,833
organize workers, she built

2336
01:45:09,833 --> 01:45:11,267
leaders. She encouraged us to

2337
01:45:11,267 --> 01:45:12,636
step forward, to find our

2338
01:45:12,636 --> 01:45:14,137
voices and to believe that

2339
01:45:14,137 --> 01:45:16,137
ordinary people could

2340
01:45:16,338 --> 01:45:18,338
accomplish extraordinary things

2341
01:45:18,376 --> 01:45:21,440
together. Even if you didn't

2342
01:45:21,440 --> 01:45:22,770
know her name or her face, you

2343
01:45:22,770 --> 01:45:24,947
benefited for her work. From

2344
01:45:24,947 --> 01:45:27,816
her work, vonda dedicated her

2345
01:45:27,816 --> 01:45:29,618
life to this movement, to

2346
01:45:29,618 --> 01:45:31,288
fighting for fair wages and

2347
01:45:31,288 --> 01:45:32,489
fair working conditions for

2348
01:45:32,489 --> 01:45:34,358
people across the state of

2349
01:45:34,358 --> 01:45:35,725
tennessee and across the nation.

2350
01:45:35,725 --> 01:45:38,725
Her fight for working people

2351
01:45:39,296 --> 01:45:40,765
reached far beyond our city,

2352
01:45:40,765 --> 01:45:42,566
improving the lives here in

2353
01:45:42,566 --> 01:45:44,966
nashville and across this

2354
01:45:45,434 --> 01:45:47,604
nation. Vonda helped build

2355
01:45:47,604 --> 01:45:49,600
organizations and entities and

2356
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:50,106
infrastructure like stand up

2357
01:45:50,106 --> 01:45:52,800
nashville, the nashville

2358
01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:54,770
justice league, and the music

2359
01:45:54,770 --> 01:45:56,770
city construction careers

2360
01:45:56,547 --> 01:45:57,547
bundle was also one of the

2361
01:45:57,547 --> 01:45:59,947
founding members of tennessee

2362
01:46:01,318 --> 01:46:04,918
for all. We appreciate all of

2363
01:46:04,956 --> 01:46:07,724
the work. That vonda did, the

2364
01:46:07,724 --> 01:46:09,893
dedication of her life, and I

2365
01:46:09,893 --> 01:46:11,561
hope that we continue to honor

2366
01:46:11,561 --> 01:46:12,929
her with more than a resolution,

2367
01:46:12,929 --> 01:46:15,700
with more than words, but with

2368
01:46:15,700 --> 01:46:17,534
our actions and with our lives

2369
01:46:17,534 --> 01:46:19,971
that we go forward and look for

2370
01:46:19,971 --> 01:46:21,505
ways to continue to fight, for

2371
01:46:21,505 --> 01:46:22,940
workers, to fight for working

2372
01:46:22,940 --> 01:46:25,742
people, and to fight for the

2373
01:46:25,742 --> 01:46:27,612
labor movement. Let's honor her

2374
01:46:27,612 --> 01:46:29,450
by lifting up new leaders, by

2375
01:46:29,450 --> 01:46:30,480
standing with working families,

2376
01:46:30,480 --> 01:46:32,950
and by continuing the work that

2377
01:46:32,950 --> 01:46:34,719
she dedicated her life to. We

2378
01:46:34,719 --> 01:46:35,720
will be after the passing of

2379
01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:37,989
this resolution tonight. We

2380
01:46:37,989 --> 01:46:39,590
will be honoring her here

2381
01:46:39,590 --> 01:46:41,559
during the announcement period

2382
01:46:41,559 --> 01:46:43,494
on SEPTEMBER the 1st. So we

2383
01:46:43,494 --> 01:46:44,929
would like to invite all of our

2384
01:46:44,929 --> 01:46:47,329
council member colleagues, as

2385
01:46:48,433 --> 01:46:49,634
well as labor leaders, union

2386
01:46:49,634 --> 01:46:51,702
members, and anyone who wants

2387
01:46:51,702 --> 01:46:53,471
to come out and honor vonda and

2388
01:46:53,471 --> 01:46:55,306
celebrate her life and legacy.

2389
01:46:55,306 --> 01:46:56,841
And I would also like to invite

2390
01:46:56,841 --> 01:46:58,609
all of our colleagues to email

2391
01:46:58,609 --> 01:46:59,912
the clerk and sign on. If

2392
01:46:59,912 --> 01:47:01,646
you've not already signed on to

2393
01:47:01,646 --> 01:47:04,348
this. And with that, I would

2394
01:47:04,348 --> 01:47:06,584
ask our colleagues to support.

2395
01:47:06,584 --> 01:47:08,587
Thank you, MADAM Pro tem. Well

2396
01:47:08,587 --> 01:47:10,489
said. Next in the queue,

2397
01:47:10,489 --> 01:47:12,489
council member sepulveda,

2398
01:47:24,102 --> 01:47:26,502
you're recognized ma'am. You

2399
01:47:26,605 --> 01:47:27,705
got this.

2400
01:47:27,705 --> 01:47:30,105
This one's a little

2401
01:47:40,618 --> 01:47:43,889
hard. Vonda wasn't only my boss.

2402
01:47:43,889 --> 01:47:48,890
She was a friend for for many

2403
01:47:50,329 --> 01:47:51,830
years. For over ten years. And.

2404
01:47:51,830 --> 01:47:53,598
Many of you all know that one

2405
01:47:53,598 --> 01:47:57,336
of the things that I work on

2406
01:47:57,336 --> 01:48:01,536
the most when it comes to my

2407
01:48:06,211 --> 01:48:09,882
work at council is figuring out to how to fight for workers

2408
01:48:09,882 --> 01:48:12,317
in this city. And vonda was a

2409
01:48:12,317 --> 01:48:16,517
big part of that. She has been

2410
01:48:19,591 --> 01:48:23,791
there every step of the way and.

2411
01:48:24,630 --> 01:48:26,231
I just. I don't know how it's

2412
01:48:26,231 --> 01:48:27,432
going to be without her. I

2413
01:48:27,432 --> 01:48:30,432
never picture her not being

2414
01:48:31,336 --> 01:48:34,936
here. And she really was the

2415
01:48:36,875 --> 01:48:39,678
best of us. And. I hope that

2416
01:48:39,678 --> 01:48:43,878
you all will join us on labor

2417
01:48:44,170 --> 01:48:45,840
day will be SEPTEMBER 5th, and

2418
01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:48,840
hopefully it'll be the biggest

2419
01:48:51,924 --> 01:48:54,893
one yet. But the labor movement

2420
01:48:54,893 --> 01:48:57,297
has been better because of all

2421
01:48:57,297 --> 01:49:00,165
the work that she has done, not

2422
01:49:00,165 --> 01:49:01,634
just here in tennessee, but

2423
01:49:01,634 --> 01:49:03,468
nationally. I mean, there's a

2424
01:49:03,468 --> 01:49:06,468
reason that the PRESIDENT Of

2425
01:49:06,639 --> 01:49:09,639
the afl-cio came to her

2426
01:49:10,277 --> 01:49:13,277
celebration of life, and she

2427
01:49:14,279 --> 01:49:17,879
touched so many people, and she

2428
01:49:22,188 --> 01:49:25,788
has helped so many people. And.

2429
01:49:26,590 --> 01:49:30,259
I hope that in the remainder of

2430
01:49:33,701 --> 01:49:37,901
my time. On council and in my

2431
01:49:38,738 --> 01:49:42,760
work, that I could do a

2432
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:45,760
fraction of the service that

2433
01:49:47,348 --> 01:49:50,348
she did for everyone. So.

2434
01:49:52,180 --> 01:49:53,454
Please join us this labor day.

2435
01:49:53,454 --> 01:49:56,560
Fonda widow wanted you all

2436
01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:57,458
there.

2437
01:49:57,458 --> 01:49:58,992
Thank you, MISS

2438
01:49:58,992 --> 01:50:01,392
Sepulveda. Council member lee,

2439
01:50:02,495 --> 01:50:02,630
you're recognized, ma'am.

2440
01:50:02,630 --> 01:50:04,630
Thank

2441
01:50:05,766 --> 01:50:08,668
you, MADAM Chair. Most things

2442
01:50:08,668 --> 01:50:10,804
have already been said, so I

2443
01:50:10,804 --> 01:50:12,939
did want to stand in support of

2444
01:50:12,939 --> 01:50:15,776
this. I want to say I have

2445
01:50:15,776 --> 01:50:18,311
worked with sister mcdaniel for

2446
01:50:18,311 --> 01:50:20,179
quite some some years now.

2447
01:50:20,179 --> 01:50:23,500
She's been a mentor, she's been

2448
01:50:23,500 --> 01:50:24,417
a teacher, she's been a

2449
01:50:24,417 --> 01:50:28,170
waymaker. And more than that, I

2450
01:50:29,455 --> 01:50:31,258
consider her a friend. So I, i

2451
01:50:31,258 --> 01:50:33,930
could not sit there and not

2452
01:50:33,930 --> 01:50:35,290
stand up to give some praises

2453
01:50:35,290 --> 01:50:36,300
to her, the things that she

2454
01:50:36,300 --> 01:50:38,165
represents, and not just her

2455
01:50:38,165 --> 01:50:39,868
and her represent

2456
01:50:39,868 --> 01:50:42,435
representation, but of how she

2457
01:50:42,435 --> 01:50:44,370
has touched other people and

2458
01:50:44,370 --> 01:50:45,805
gotten them to see the light in

2459
01:50:45,805 --> 01:50:49,405
a lot of different things and

2460
01:50:49,810 --> 01:50:51,679
to move on. So GOD is blessing

2461
01:50:51,679 --> 01:50:53,280
her now, and I'm just standing

2462
01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:53,414
in support. Thank you.

2463
01:50:53,414 --> 01:50:55,414
Thank

2464
01:50:55,783 --> 01:50:57,518
you, MISS Lee. Next is council

2465
01:50:57,518 --> 01:50:59,918
member suara. You're recognized

2466
01:51:02,257 --> 01:51:04,257
ma'am.

2467
01:51:05,459 --> 01:51:07,294
Thank you, vice mayor.

2468
01:51:07,294 --> 01:51:09,163
I'm just going to read what I

2469
01:51:09,163 --> 01:51:12,167
wrote when I found out that

2470
01:51:12,167 --> 01:51:14,535
vonda passed away. I couldn't

2471
01:51:14,535 --> 01:51:17,405
find enough words. But this is

2472
01:51:17,405 --> 01:51:20,609
just what came to me. It says

2473
01:51:20,609 --> 01:51:23,609
real heroes don't fly. They

2474
01:51:24,179 --> 01:51:26,414
stand beside you. They show up,

2475
01:51:26,414 --> 01:51:29,251
they walk with you, and they

2476
01:51:29,251 --> 01:51:31,190
walk for you. Vonda mcdonough

2477
01:51:31,190 --> 01:51:33,188
was that kind of hero to so

2478
01:51:33,188 --> 01:51:35,230
many. She spent her life

2479
01:51:35,230 --> 01:51:37,125
lifting others, making their

2480
01:51:37,125 --> 01:51:40,600
lives better in ways big and

2481
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:41,529
small. What makes the news so

2482
01:51:41,529 --> 01:51:43,697
painful is that vonda wasn't a

2483
01:51:43,697 --> 01:51:46,868
hero from a comic book. She was

2484
01:51:46,868 --> 01:51:48,670
here with us, living, serving,

2485
01:51:48,670 --> 01:51:50,639
fighting for workers, for her

2486
01:51:50,639 --> 01:51:53,407
church family, for her family,

2487
01:51:53,407 --> 01:51:55,877
and for our community. She was

2488
01:51:55,877 --> 01:51:58,179
real. She was present. She was

2489
01:51:58,179 --> 01:52:00,579
tireless. History will write

2490
01:52:00,581 --> 01:52:03,385
about vonda. Our words will

2491
01:52:03,385 --> 01:52:04,885
carry her name. But all of that

2492
01:52:04,885 --> 01:52:06,788
will pale in comparison to the

2493
01:52:06,788 --> 01:52:09,591
memories and stories held by

2494
01:52:09,591 --> 01:52:12,794
the people who truly knew her.

2495
01:52:12,794 --> 01:52:14,629
She was a soldier, a fighter,

2496
01:52:14,629 --> 01:52:16,629
selfless, caring, and

2497
01:52:17,165 --> 01:52:19,334
profoundly human. This loss

2498
01:52:19,334 --> 01:52:21,469
hurts, but I find comfort in

2499
01:52:21,469 --> 01:52:23,237
having known vonda, and I thank

2500
01:52:23,237 --> 01:52:26,141
vonda for everything that she

2501
01:52:26,141 --> 01:52:29,778
gave, not just to me, but to so

2502
01:52:29,778 --> 01:52:32,178
many. She's irreplaceable. When

2503
01:52:34,783 --> 01:52:38,383
we went to vonda viewing. It

2504
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:42,320
was very hard to picture her

2505
01:52:42,724 --> 01:52:46,324
just lying there. And it's a.

2506
01:52:46,661 --> 01:52:50,261
It's a reminder to every single

2507
01:52:50,632 --> 01:52:53,536
one of us that that is a given.

2508
01:52:53,536 --> 01:52:56,405
We all one day. But

2509
01:52:56,405 --> 01:52:58,507
the true legacy of a life well

2510
01:52:58,507 --> 01:53:01,900
lived. Is it the memories of

2511
01:53:01,900 --> 01:53:03,278
the people that you helped, the

2512
01:53:03,278 --> 01:53:05,748
lives that you touched. She

2513
01:53:05,748 --> 01:53:07,617
built organization. She built

2514
01:53:07,617 --> 01:53:10,170
people. She built community.

2515
01:53:10,752 --> 01:53:12,221
She built nashville. And we all

2516
01:53:12,221 --> 01:53:14,724
MISS Her. And I hope that our

2517
01:53:14,724 --> 01:53:18,590
life is a reminder to all of us

2518
01:53:18,590 --> 01:53:19,494
to be kind to each other and to

2519
01:53:19,494 --> 01:53:22,300
be good, because someday we

2520
01:53:22,300 --> 01:53:23,164
will be called to. And so,

2521
01:53:23,164 --> 01:53:25,567
vonda, thank you for all that

2522
01:53:25,567 --> 01:53:28,104
you did. Thank you for all that

2523
01:53:28,104 --> 01:53:28,237
you are. Rest in power.

2524
01:53:28,237 --> 01:53:30,172
Thank

2525
01:53:30,172 --> 01:53:31,674
you, MISS Suara. Next in the

2526
01:53:31,674 --> 01:53:32,440
queue, councilmember koopman,

2527
01:53:32,440 --> 01:53:32,707
you're recognized sir.

2528
01:53:32,707 --> 01:53:34,377
Thank

2529
01:53:34,377 --> 01:53:35,411
you, MADAM PRESIDENT. And I

2530
01:53:35,411 --> 01:53:37,811
concur with everything that's

2531
01:53:38,446 --> 01:53:39,915
been said so far. JUNE 29th,

2532
01:53:39,915 --> 01:53:41,783
9:02 A.M. I got a text from

2533
01:53:41,783 --> 01:53:43,518
vonda inviting me to a town

2534
01:53:43,518 --> 01:53:45,387
hall later that week about the

2535
01:53:45,387 --> 01:53:47,156
future of democracy in our in

2536
01:53:47,156 --> 01:53:48,357
our city and our state. And

2537
01:53:48,357 --> 01:53:49,525
just, you know, quiet little

2538
01:53:49,525 --> 01:53:51,359
invite. And the next morning I

2539
01:53:51,359 --> 01:53:52,528
texted her saying, yes, I'll be

2540
01:53:52,528 --> 01:53:54,330
there, not knowing that by that

2541
01:53:54,330 --> 01:53:55,798
point she was already gone.

2542
01:53:55,798 --> 01:53:57,934
Even so, even to her last

2543
01:53:57,934 --> 01:54:00,136
moments, she was working,

2544
01:54:00,136 --> 01:54:01,904
advocating, sharing, leading,

2545
01:54:01,904 --> 01:54:02,638
and at her viewing and at MISS

2546
01:54:02,638 --> 01:54:04,740
Rosetta perry's viewing, both

2547
01:54:04,740 --> 01:54:06,542
at the the first baptist church,

2548
01:54:06,542 --> 01:54:07,710
I found myself looking over to

2549
01:54:07,710 --> 01:54:08,844
the side pews. Most people in

2550
01:54:08,844 --> 01:54:10,513
this room will know exactly

2551
01:54:10,513 --> 01:54:11,581
what I'm talking about, where

2552
01:54:11,581 --> 01:54:12,715
she was always seated, just

2553
01:54:12,715 --> 01:54:14,550
quietly looking and leading in

2554
01:54:14,550 --> 01:54:16,180
her presence was just was so

2555
01:54:16,180 --> 01:54:17,154
powerful and, you know, heard

2556
01:54:17,154 --> 01:54:19,522
at her celebration of life.

2557
01:54:19,522 --> 01:54:21,324
Just people talking about how,

2558
01:54:21,324 --> 01:54:22,626
you know, she she kind of just

2559
01:54:22,626 --> 01:54:23,894
caused you to move forward. She

2560
01:54:23,894 --> 01:54:25,696
caused you to lead, she caused

2561
01:54:25,696 --> 01:54:26,897
you to be elevated. It wasn't

2562
01:54:26,897 --> 01:54:28,698
it wasn't a strong hand. It

2563
01:54:28,698 --> 01:54:30,567
wasn't a force. It was just,

2564
01:54:30,567 --> 01:54:31,768
she just kind of made it made

2565
01:54:31,768 --> 01:54:33,804
it happen. And so I know that

2566
01:54:33,804 --> 01:54:35,772
she lives on in so many in this

2567
01:54:35,772 --> 01:54:37,708
room. I got to know her for a

2568
01:54:37,708 --> 01:54:38,842
lot less time than many here.

2569
01:54:38,842 --> 01:54:40,644
But she's deeply impacted my

2570
01:54:40,644 --> 01:54:41,877
life and my, my leadership and

2571
01:54:41,877 --> 01:54:43,613
how I want to advocate for the

2572
01:54:43,613 --> 01:54:44,781
labor movement and advocate for

2573
01:54:44,781 --> 01:54:46,683
the workers of our of our city

2574
01:54:46,683 --> 01:54:47,885
that we come across. And so I

2575
01:54:47,885 --> 01:54:49,619
MISS Her terribly. I still

2576
01:54:49,619 --> 01:54:50,787
can't believe that she's gone.

2577
01:54:50,787 --> 01:54:52,656
I keep waiting to turn around

2578
01:54:52,656 --> 01:54:53,724
and see her, see her standing

2579
01:54:53,724 --> 01:54:54,924
there. And so, vonda, you'll

2580
01:54:54,924 --> 01:54:56,627
you'll be in my heart. You'll

2581
01:54:56,627 --> 01:54:57,895
be. I'm carrying you with me

2582
01:54:57,895 --> 01:54:58,895
and rest in power. Thank you

2583
01:54:58,895 --> 01:54:59,730
for all you've done.

2584
01:54:59,730 --> 01:55:00,796
Thank you,

2585
01:55:00,796 --> 01:55:02,650
MR. Koopman. Next council

2586
01:55:02,650 --> 01:55:02,698
member. Hill. You're recognized.

2587
01:55:02,698 --> 01:55:03,734
Thank you.

2588
01:55:03,734 --> 01:55:04,767
Vice mayor. There's

2589
01:55:04,767 --> 01:55:06,669
really nothing that I can say

2590
01:55:06,669 --> 01:55:08,638
that hasn't already been said.

2591
01:55:08,638 --> 01:55:10,607
So I just want to say I want to

2592
01:55:10,607 --> 01:55:12,508
move to use 12.3. All right,

2593
01:55:12,508 --> 01:55:13,110
everybody that be added votes.

2594
01:55:13,110 --> 01:55:15,110
Yes.

2595
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:21,800
Okay. There is a motion to

2596
01:55:22,153 --> 01:55:25,153
amend the approval motion with

2597
01:55:26,156 --> 01:55:28,156
12.3 properly seconded. Okay.

2598
01:55:28,225 --> 01:55:30,360
We'll continue. MISS Styles,

2599
01:55:30,360 --> 01:55:32,596
you are next in the queue,

2600
01:55:32,596 --> 01:55:34,596
ma'am.

2601
01:55:36,967 --> 01:55:39,402
thank you very much. I

2602
01:55:39,402 --> 01:55:42,139
met vonda over ten years ago

2603
01:55:42,139 --> 01:55:44,141
working with her on the mlk day

2604
01:55:44,141 --> 01:55:46,677
committee. When she came to

2605
01:55:46,677 --> 01:55:48,478
bring the labor breakfast back

2606
01:55:48,478 --> 01:55:51,315
and to discuss how important

2607
01:55:51,315 --> 01:55:53,116
that was in the movement and

2608
01:55:53,116 --> 01:55:55,516
her commitment every single

2609
01:55:56,787 --> 01:56:00,387
year to spread the word about

2610
01:56:00,391 --> 01:56:02,392
labor. I was in awe of her then

2611
01:56:02,392 --> 01:56:05,290
and had tremendous respect for

2612
01:56:05,290 --> 01:56:06,129
her. And as I became a council

2613
01:56:06,129 --> 01:56:09,000
member, had the opportunity to

2614
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:11,568
work with her even more. I

2615
01:56:11,568 --> 01:56:12,904
think we've talked about the

2616
01:56:12,904 --> 01:56:14,405
work that she's done, but we

2617
01:56:14,405 --> 01:56:16,874
haven't spoken about how she

2618
01:56:16,874 --> 01:56:18,710
was able to get that work done,

2619
01:56:18,710 --> 01:56:21,512
and it was the quiet strength

2620
01:56:21,512 --> 01:56:23,413
that she had that made you move

2621
01:56:23,413 --> 01:56:26,413
without even knowing you were

2622
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:30,587
moving. She was kind. Listen to

2623
01:56:30,587 --> 01:56:32,322
everyone that's speaking in

2624
01:56:32,322 --> 01:56:34,825
this room. We don't always

2625
01:56:34,825 --> 01:56:36,728
agree, but every once in a

2626
01:56:36,728 --> 01:56:39,597
while we have a moment like

2627
01:56:39,597 --> 01:56:42,650
this. And though it's sad, we

2628
01:56:42,650 --> 01:56:44,167
have a moment to come together,

2629
01:56:44,167 --> 01:56:45,702
united to say that there are

2630
01:56:45,702 --> 01:56:49,302
some people that are great no

2631
01:56:49,307 --> 01:56:52,307
matter what your difference is.

2632
01:56:53,611 --> 01:56:55,130
And vonda was that person. And

2633
01:56:55,130 --> 01:56:57,181
I still can't believe that we

2634
01:56:57,181 --> 01:56:59,850
are standing here talking about

2635
01:56:59,850 --> 01:57:02,787
her and what was instead of

2636
01:57:02,787 --> 01:57:04,210
what is. But I'm so grateful

2637
01:57:04,210 --> 01:57:06,591
that her life was honored the

2638
01:57:06,591 --> 01:57:07,926
way that it was last week. I

2639
01:57:07,926 --> 01:57:11,526
don't know about any of you,

2640
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:13,398
but who else gets to have a

2641
01:57:13,398 --> 01:57:15,533
service at the music city

2642
01:57:15,533 --> 01:57:18,690
center? Come one, come all.

2643
01:57:18,690 --> 01:57:20,400
We've got this covered. And I

2644
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:21,873
might say they were short ribs.

2645
01:57:21,873 --> 01:57:24,542
These were not chicken nuggets

2646
01:57:24,542 --> 01:57:27,845
or tenders that MR. Stark paid

2647
01:57:27,845 --> 01:57:29,470
for. Again, a testament to how

2648
01:57:29,470 --> 01:57:30,783
amazing she was and how long

2649
01:57:30,783 --> 01:57:32,785
she served on that commission.

2650
01:57:32,785 --> 01:57:34,886
But, I mean, I think we can all

2651
01:57:34,886 --> 01:57:37,188
go on and on and on. But I just

2652
01:57:37,188 --> 01:57:39,570
wanted to say heaven has a has

2653
01:57:39,570 --> 01:57:40,425
a working angel right now. And

2654
01:57:40,425 --> 01:57:41,627
I'm grateful that we had the

2655
01:57:41,627 --> 01:57:44,630
opportunity, all of us, to have

2656
01:57:44,630 --> 01:57:45,864
known her and worked with her.

2657
01:57:45,864 --> 01:57:47,233
Thank you, MR. House. Next

2658
01:57:47,233 --> 01:57:48,299
council member gadd, you're

2659
01:57:48,299 --> 01:57:49,834
recognized, ma'am.

2660
01:57:49,834 --> 01:57:51,834
I'd like to

2661
01:57:52,370 --> 01:57:54,873
just join in the course, but I

2662
01:57:54,873 --> 01:57:58,444
want to also lift up an

2663
01:57:58,444 --> 01:58:00,444
additional organization and

2664
01:58:01,312 --> 01:58:03,882
group of folks that vonda

2665
01:58:03,882 --> 01:58:06,285
invested in over ten years ago.

2666
01:58:06,285 --> 01:58:08,120
There were a group of women

2667
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:11,120
that wanted to come together

2668
01:58:11,322 --> 01:58:12,924
and create a, a program to

2669
01:58:12,924 --> 01:58:16,395
recruit and train women to run

2670
01:58:16,395 --> 01:58:17,830
for office. The woman who was

2671
01:58:17,830 --> 01:58:21,430
at the table from the beginning

2672
01:58:21,866 --> 01:58:23,401
and was a constant movement and

2673
01:58:23,401 --> 01:58:24,637
herself. But to bring folks

2674
01:58:24,637 --> 01:58:28,208
together and to invest in that

2675
01:58:28,208 --> 01:58:31,109
was vonda mcdaniel. With that

2676
01:58:31,109 --> 01:58:32,645
emerge, tennessee got off the

2677
01:58:32,645 --> 01:58:34,812
ground and trained many of us

2678
01:58:34,812 --> 01:58:36,282
who are in this room tonight.

2679
01:58:36,282 --> 01:58:37,816
And I just wanted to take a

2680
01:58:37,816 --> 01:58:40,151
moment to recognize one more

2681
01:58:40,151 --> 01:58:41,387
thing that she has done. I

2682
01:58:41,387 --> 01:58:43,821
don't have the words, like many

2683
01:58:43,821 --> 01:58:45,958
of you all do, that can be

2684
01:58:45,958 --> 01:58:47,159
spoke so eloquently. But with

2685
01:58:47,159 --> 01:58:49,227
that, I would like to take at

2686
01:58:49,227 --> 01:58:52,827
least five seconds of my time

2687
01:58:52,897 --> 01:58:57,970
for just a moment. And that is

2688
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:03,609
a moment of remembrance. Thank

2689
01:59:03,609 --> 01:59:04,543
you so much.

2690
01:59:04,543 --> 01:59:06,278
Thank you, MISS

2691
01:59:06,278 --> 01:59:07,947
Gad. Council member kimbrough,

2692
01:59:07,947 --> 01:59:08,800
you're recognized, ma'am.

2693
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:09,381
Thank

2694
01:59:09,381 --> 01:59:12,219
you, vice mayor. I'd like to

2695
01:59:12,219 --> 01:59:14,386
say that vonda mcdaniel and her

2696
01:59:14,386 --> 01:59:16,889
father lived in my district. He

2697
01:59:16,889 --> 01:59:19,792
still resides in my district.

2698
01:59:19,792 --> 01:59:20,893
She was a fine person in all

2699
01:59:20,893 --> 01:59:23,893
regards, a good person. She

2700
01:59:24,497 --> 01:59:25,531
came from good stock. I

2701
01:59:25,531 --> 01:59:27,733
appreciated her. She was a

2702
01:59:27,733 --> 01:59:29,135
straight shooter and I

2703
01:59:29,135 --> 01:59:30,937
appreciate that. She told me

2704
01:59:30,937 --> 01:59:35,137
when I came in some of the

2705
01:59:35,574 --> 01:59:36,676
things she expected, and

2706
01:59:36,676 --> 01:59:38,812
ironically, I was actually

2707
01:59:38,812 --> 01:59:40,547
working on one of her

2708
01:59:40,547 --> 01:59:42,820
suggestions at the time she

2709
01:59:42,820 --> 01:59:44,184
passed. And it's going to

2710
01:59:44,184 --> 01:59:45,352
happen. But I just wanted to

2711
01:59:45,352 --> 01:59:47,353
acknowledge her and say she was

2712
01:59:47,353 --> 01:59:49,656
a fine person, came from a fine

2713
01:59:49,656 --> 01:59:51,570
family, and she will be missed.

2714
01:59:51,570 --> 01:59:52,926
Thank you.

2715
01:59:52,926 --> 01:59:54,629
Thank you, thank you

2716
01:59:54,629 --> 01:59:57,930
to all members for speaking so

2717
01:59:57,930 --> 01:59:59,733
kindly and so well. All right.

2718
01:59:59,733 --> 02:00:01,669
Seeing no one else in the queue,

2719
02:00:01,669 --> 02:00:03,103
we will move to the vote. There

2720
02:00:03,103 --> 02:00:04,937
is a motion to approve with

2721
02:00:04,937 --> 02:00:06,572

02:00:06,572 --> 02:00:08,774

2728

2777
02:01:40,134 --> 02:01:41,635
proud to say that it was our

2778
02:01:41,635 --> 02:01:43,103

2779
02:01:43,103 --> 02:01:45,503
recognized south asian heritage

2780
02:01:45,940 --> 02:01:47,275
month in 2024, and this

2781
02:01:47,275 --> 02:01:48,642
resolution is really important

2782
02:01:48,642 --> 02:01:50,610
and deserves to be uplifted

2783
02:01:50,610 --> 02:01:52,412
every year because it sends a

2784
02:01:52,412 --> 02:01:53,814
message that every community

2785
02:01:53,814 --> 02:01:54,949

2786
02:01:54,949 --> 02:01:56,683

02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:03,488
amend title six of the metro

2971
02:08:03,488 --> 02:08:05,290

2974
02:08:09,261 --> 02:08:09,693
Council member cortez, you're

2975
02:08:09,693 --> 02:08:10,395
recognized, sir.

2976
02:08:10,395 --> 02:08:11,428
Thank you,

2977
02:08:11,428 --> 02:08:12,898
vice mayor withdrawal with a

2978
02:08:12,898 --> 02:08:13,965
brief comment.

2979
02:08:13,965 --> 02:08:14,633
Go ahead sir.

2980
02:08:14,633 --> 02:08:15,967
Yes, yes.

2981
02:08:15,967 --> 02:08:17,234
So this is just a

2982
02:08:17,234 --> 02:08:20,234
procedural move. We were going

2983
02:08:20,805 --> 02:08:22,641
back and forth with the states

2984
02:08:22,641 --> 02:08:23,642
attorney general's office. They

2985
02:08:23,642 --> 02:08:25,543
most recently responded about a

2986
02:08:25,543 --> 02:08:27,345
week and a half ago. So I'm now

2987
02:08:27,345 --> 02:08:28,513
working with metro legal on the

2988
02:08:28,513 --> 02:08:30,382
enforcement arm of this. And we

2989
02:08:30,382 --> 02:08:32,350
just need more time. And if I

2990
02:08:32,350 --> 02:08:33,450
was to defer again, it would be

2991
02:08:33,450 --> 02:08:34,486
a indefinite deferral. So I

2992
02:08:34,486 --> 02:08:35,552
will withdraw and then

2993
02:08:35,552 --> 02:08:37,321
reintroduce at a later date.

2994
02:08:37,321 --> 02:08:38,390
All right. Appreciate the

2995
02:08:38,390 --> 02:08:39,824
explanation. This bill has been

2997
02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:44,460
Sponsor cortez is withdrawn.

3145
02:13:04,457 --> 02:13:05,492
Go ahead.

3146
02:13:05,492 --> 02:13:07,693
Thank you so much,

3147
02:13:07,693 --> 02:13:09,862
vice mayor. And I want to thank

3148
02:13:09,862 --> 02:13:11,365
every single person in our

3149
02:13:11,365 --> 02:13:12,666
entire council and the%

3150
02:13:12,666 --> 02:13:14,101
community, the entertainment

3151
02:13:14,101 --> 02:13:15,968
commission and everyone who

3152
02:13:15,968 --> 02:13:17,771
weighed in. I know that this is

3153
02:13:17,771 --> 02:13:19,172
a bill we've been working on,

3154
02:13:19,172 --> 02:13:20,741
and I know that the community

3155
02:13:20,741 --> 02:13:23,175
wants to see us move forward,

3156
02:13:23,175 --> 02:13:25,245
and I'm very excited that out

3157
02:13:25,245 --> 02:13:27,881
of committee, we were able to

3158
02:13:27,881 --> 02:13:29,651
take that first step, and my

3159
02:13:29,651 --> 02:13:32,119
hope is that we are going to

3160
02:13:32,119 --> 02:13:33,186
see the first executive

3161
02:13:33,186 --> 02:13:34,656
director of the national

3162
02:13:34,656 --> 02:13:36,456
entertainment commission

3163
02:13:36,456 --> 02:13:38,392
announced soon, and this is the

3164
02:13:38,392 --> 02:13:40,360
first step that we need to do

3165
02:13:40,360 --> 02:13:42,930
as the metro council to move

3166
02:13:42,930 --> 02:13:45,132
that forward. So I really just

3167
02:13:45,132 --> 02:13:47,234
invite my colleagues to please

3168
02:13:47,234 --> 02:13:49,836
join me in supporting this bill

3169
02:13:49,836 --> 02:13:51,605
so that we can, you know, honor

3170
02:13:51,605 --> 02:13:52,673
the people of nashville and the

3171
02:13:52,673 --> 02:13:53,574
work of the entertainment

3172
02:13:53,574 --> 02:13:55,275
commission over the years so

3173
02:13:55,275 --> 02:13:56,677
that we can move forward. Thank

3174
02:13:56,677 --> 02:13:58,450
you so much.

3175
02:13:58,450 --> 02:13:59,546
All right. There

3176
02:13:59,546 --> 02:14:01,248
is a motion to approve. It's

3177
02:14:01,248 --> 02:14:02,684
properly seconded. And we're on

3178
02:14:02,684 --> 02:14:04,452
to discussion. First in the

3179
02:14:04,452 --> 02:14:06,354
queue is council member styles.

3180
02:14:06,354 --> 02:14:07,354
You're recognized.

3181
02:14:07,354 --> 02:14:09,189
I would like

3182
02:14:09,189 --> 02:14:10,591
to move for a one meeting

3183
02:14:10,591 --> 02:14:12,590
deferral with a brief comment

3184
02:14:12,590 --> 02:14:14,590
if I MAY.

3185
02:14:14,928 --> 02:14:17,328
Is there a second.

3186
02:14:17,498 --> 02:14:19,334
Okay, okay. There is a motion

3187
02:14:19,334 --> 02:14:20,334
to defer is properly seconded.

3188
02:14:20,334 --> 02:14:21,535
Go ahead.

3189
02:14:21,535 --> 02:14:23,935
Thank you very much.

3190
02:14:23,972 --> 02:14:26,440
Vice mayor. What council member

3191
02:14:26,440 --> 02:14:28,309
vo said is correct. This has

3192
02:14:28,309 --> 02:14:29,377
definitely been a long time

3193
02:14:29,377 --> 02:14:31,646
coming. We created the

3194
02:14:31,646 --> 02:14:32,980
commission last term hoping

3195
02:14:32,980 --> 02:14:34,514
that this would move forward.

3196
02:14:34,514 --> 02:14:36,149
In the last three years, it's

3197
02:14:36,149 --> 02:14:38,720
it's just been very laborious

3198
02:14:38,720 --> 02:14:40,220
and it should be a real fun

3199
02:14:40,220 --> 02:14:42,390
commission and also a great

3200
02:14:42,390 --> 02:14:43,824
office. The executive director

3201
02:14:43,824 --> 02:14:47,427
will be of the office, not of

3202
02:14:47,427 --> 02:14:50,427
the commission, but today we

3203
02:14:50,931 --> 02:14:52,966
had an emergency entertainment

3204
02:14:52,966 --> 02:14:54,935
commission meeting to discuss

3205
02:14:54,935 --> 02:14:57,500
both of these pieces of

3206
02:14:57,500 --> 02:14:59,940
legislation, and it was clear

3207
02:14:59,940 --> 02:15:03,177
by the end of the meeting that

3208
02:15:03,177 --> 02:15:06,177
there wasn't support for either

3209
02:15:07,115 --> 02:15:08,950
bill because they want one bill

3210
02:15:08,950 --> 02:15:10,752
numerous times today. They

3211
02:15:10,752 --> 02:15:11,452
express distrust in this

3212
02:15:11,452 --> 02:15:12,953
administration and their

3213
02:15:12,953 --> 02:15:15,953
ability to move anything with

3214
02:15:18,660 --> 02:15:19,893
them forward. As I spoke with

3215
02:15:19,893 --> 02:15:21,528
derek smith and metro legal,

3216
02:15:21,528 --> 02:15:23,928
who is their representative,

3217
02:15:24,640 --> 02:15:25,867
after the meeting was over, he

3218
02:15:25,867 --> 02:15:27,301
did say that it looked like

3219
02:15:27,301 --> 02:15:28,770
there was a way forward.

3220
02:15:28,770 --> 02:15:31,170
Legally. There's some language

3221
02:15:32,407 --> 02:15:33,508
that seemed ambiguous, and so

3222
02:15:33,508 --> 02:15:34,908
proposing a one meeting

3223
02:15:34,908 --> 02:15:35,777
deferral. I'm I'm not into

3224
02:15:35,777 --> 02:15:38,112
deferrals. I think most of you

3225
02:15:38,112 --> 02:15:39,981
know that. But if the greater

3226
02:15:39,981 --> 02:15:42,382
good can be had here where

3227
02:15:42,382 --> 02:15:44,850
there's one bill that we can

3228
02:15:44,850 --> 02:15:47,155
all agree on. I did volunteer

3229
02:15:47,155 --> 02:15:48,890
in the meeting today to work

3230
02:15:48,890 --> 02:15:51,890
with the mayor's office. The

3231
02:15:53,928 --> 02:15:55,797
mayor's office refused, and I

3232
02:15:55,797 --> 02:15:57,632
think it would benefit our

3233
02:15:57,632 --> 02:16:00,401
constituents. This is not about

3234
02:16:00,401 --> 02:16:01,602
us. Our personal relationships,

3235
02:16:01,602 --> 02:16:04,372
petty squabbles. This is about

3236
02:16:04,372 --> 02:16:06,174
a group of people that have

3237
02:16:06,174 --> 02:16:07,275
spent a lot of time in the last

3238
02:16:07,275 --> 02:16:09,177
three years trying to get this

3239
02:16:09,177 --> 02:16:11,312
off the ground. And I'd like to

3240
02:16:11,312 --> 02:16:12,648
read a comment from one of the

3241
02:16:12,648 --> 02:16:14,449
commissioners post the meeting

3242
02:16:14,449 --> 02:16:16,251
today. And this is from our

3243
02:16:16,251 --> 02:16:17,719
academy award nominee. So we're

3244
02:16:17,719 --> 02:16:19,554
talking about these are real

3245
02:16:19,554 --> 02:16:21,724
experts, not we're not

3246
02:16:21,724 --> 02:16:23,124
quarterback coaching. Here at

3247
02:16:23,124 --> 02:16:24,659
the nsc meeting today, we were

3248
02:16:24,659 --> 02:16:25,660
shown and discussed all the

3249
02:16:25,660 --> 02:16:26,862
various versions of proposed

3250
02:16:26,862 --> 02:16:27,996
legislation, but I don't think

3251
02:16:27,996 --> 02:16:30,640
anyone on the commission was

3252
02:16:30,640 --> 02:16:31,132
excited about any of them.

3253
02:16:31,132 --> 02:16:32,301
Ultimately, the lack of trust

3254
02:16:32,301 --> 02:16:33,968
in the mayor's office to follow

3255
02:16:33,968 --> 02:16:35,738
through on their stated plan

3256
02:16:35,738 --> 02:16:37,873
led us to decide not to support

3257
02:16:37,873 --> 02:16:39,642
the offered bills. The only

3258
02:16:39,642 --> 02:16:41,442
hope of optimism was a hope

3259
02:16:41,442 --> 02:16:43,278
that, given a little more time,

3260
02:16:43,278 --> 02:16:44,746
a new version that could be

3261
02:16:44,746 --> 02:16:47,248
drafted could be more close,

3262
02:16:47,248 --> 02:16:49,648
could more closely meet

3263
02:16:50,451 --> 02:16:52,121
everyone's goals. And I get it.

3264
02:16:52,121 --> 02:16:53,989
We're we're tired of having

3265
02:16:53,989 --> 02:16:56,224
this conversation. I think some

3266
02:16:56,224 --> 02:16:57,660
people signed on just so in the

3267
02:16:57,660 --> 02:16:58,594
hopes that shenanigans could

3268
02:16:58,594 --> 02:17:00,496
stop and move things forward.

3269
02:17:00,496 --> 02:17:01,629
But at the end of the day, we

3270
02:17:01,629 --> 02:17:02,932
create commissions and we

3271
02:17:02,932 --> 02:17:05,266
appoint people to commissions

3272
02:17:05,266 --> 02:17:07,100
to serve constituency groups

3273
02:17:07,100 --> 02:17:08,504
and help move our city forward.

3274
02:17:08,504 --> 02:17:09,704
And right now, we have a lot of

3275
02:17:09,704 --> 02:17:11,373
projects that are coming to

3276
02:17:11,373 --> 02:17:13,542
nashville that need a dedicated

3277
02:17:13,542 --> 02:17:15,110
office and a one stop shop that

3278
02:17:15,110 --> 02:17:16,377
needs an executive director,

3279
02:17:16,377 --> 02:17:18,948
and it needs the support of

3280
02:17:18,948 --> 02:17:20,281
this commission, MR. Rosenberg

3281
02:17:20,281 --> 02:17:21,518
said during the meeting. Before

3282
02:17:21,518 --> 02:17:23,419
that, they have no expertise in

3283
02:17:23,419 --> 02:17:25,386
hiring, so I think we should

3284
02:17:25,386 --> 02:17:25,821
take that and move forward

3285
02:17:25,821 --> 02:17:27,155
accordingly.

3286
02:17:27,155 --> 02:17:29,555
All right. So what

3287
02:17:29,725 --> 02:17:33,925
is before us is a motion to

3288
02:17:34,796 --> 02:17:36,297
defer. 14311 meeting. It was

3289
02:17:36,297 --> 02:17:37,966
properly seconded, and we are

3290
02:17:37,966 --> 02:17:39,801
on to discussion on the one

3291
02:17:39,801 --> 02:17:41,203
meeting deferral motion. MR.

3292
02:17:41,203 --> 02:17:42,338
Koopman, do you seek to be

3293
02:17:42,338 --> 02:17:42,738
recognized on the deferral? Go

3294
02:17:42,738 --> 02:17:43,438
ahead sir.

3295
02:17:43,438 --> 02:17:45,273
Thank you, MADAM

3296
02:17:45,273 --> 02:17:46,408
PRESIDENT. I am really torn on

3297
02:17:46,408 --> 02:17:48,277
the deferral versus not. But,

3298
02:17:48,277 --> 02:17:49,344
you know, I think that the the

3299
02:17:49,344 --> 02:17:52,344
goal that was stated is

3300
02:17:52,614 --> 02:17:54,250
important. And to consider as whether or

3301
02:17:54,250 --> 02:17:55,284
not to defer for more time, the

3302
02:17:55,284 --> 02:17:56,684
commission very clearly today

3303
02:17:56,684 --> 02:17:58,186
said that they would like to

3304
02:17:58,186 --> 02:17:59,688
stop the mayor's office

3305
02:17:59,688 --> 02:18:00,722
and the council members and

3306
02:18:00,722 --> 02:18:02,424
everybody fighting, and just

3307
02:18:02,424 --> 02:18:05,128
please come together on one

3308
02:18:05,128 --> 02:18:06,329
bill and hear us. And I share

3309
02:18:06,329 --> 02:18:08,230
their frustration. At the end

3310
02:18:08,230 --> 02:18:09,430
of the day, it's important to

3311
02:18:09,430 --> 02:18:11,134
me to have a commission here

3312
02:18:11,134 --> 02:18:12,568
that's that's taking up these

3313
02:18:12,568 --> 02:18:14,403
matters. And so, you know,

3314
02:18:14,403 --> 02:18:16,272
again, I'm I'm torn on whether

3315
02:18:16,272 --> 02:18:17,473
we should defer or not. But I

3316
02:18:17,473 --> 02:18:18,340
do think that the commission

3317
02:18:18,340 --> 02:18:19,808
was frustrated with the

3318
02:18:19,808 --> 02:18:21,644
multiple bills I did here.

3319
02:18:21,644 --> 02:18:23,812
Council member styles share a

3320
02:18:23,812 --> 02:18:25,881
desire to compromise whether or

3321
02:18:25,881 --> 02:18:27,716
not the substitute itself was

3322
02:18:27,716 --> 02:18:29,551
sufficient. I did hear that

3323
02:18:29,551 --> 02:18:30,686
desire expressed. I was hoping

3324
02:18:30,686 --> 02:18:31,854
that that would lead to a

3325
02:18:31,854 --> 02:18:33,856
moment with the mayor's office

3326
02:18:33,856 --> 02:18:35,224
coming together and getting to

3327
02:18:35,224 --> 02:18:36,580
one bill so we could

3328
02:18:36,580 --> 02:18:37,593
unanimously pass something to

3329
02:18:37,593 --> 02:18:39,610
move forward. But it sounded

3330
02:18:39,610 --> 02:18:40,620
like the mayor's office felt

3331
02:18:40,620 --> 02:18:41,130
that their bill was

3332
02:18:41,130 --> 02:18:43,530
structurally sound and didn't

3333
02:18:43,599 --> 02:18:44,767
want to put any changes into it.

3334
02:18:44,767 --> 02:18:46,635
So I know that's not a clear

3335
02:18:46,635 --> 02:18:47,804
direction. I just want to hear

3336
02:18:47,804 --> 02:18:49,572
how the discussion goes. But I

3337
02:18:49,572 --> 02:18:50,873
do think that there's a a

3338
02:18:50,873 --> 02:18:52,775
desire to get to something. And

3339
02:18:52,775 --> 02:18:54,644
I think that if we move forward,

3340
02:18:54,644 --> 02:18:55,745
I'll just end by saying if we

3341
02:18:55,745 --> 02:18:57,581
move forward today, we're

3342
02:18:57,581 --> 02:18:59,490
picking one versus the other.

3343
02:18:59,490 --> 02:18:59,982
And that means that we're not

3344
02:18:59,982 --> 02:19:01,150
honoring the commission's

3345
02:19:01,150 --> 02:19:03,180
wishes of coming together

3346
02:19:03,180 --> 02:19:04,353
unanimously. But obviously, if

3347
02:19:04,353 --> 02:19:05,555
we defer, we might have a

3348
02:19:05,555 --> 02:19:07,457
chance of getting to that. But

3349
02:19:07,457 --> 02:19:09,159
we also, you know, burn more

3350
02:19:09,159 --> 02:19:10,694
time where we don't have this

3351
02:19:10,694 --> 02:19:11,860
commission stood up. So I want

3352
02:19:11,860 --> 02:19:13,960
to see how the discussion goes

3353
02:19:13,960 --> 02:19:14,129
and go from there.

3354
02:19:14,129 --> 02:19:14,864
All right.

3355
02:19:14,864 --> 02:19:16,333
Discussion continues on the

3356
02:19:16,333 --> 02:19:17,700
motion to defer one meeting.

3357
02:19:17,700 --> 02:19:19,202
Next in the queue is council

3358
02:19:19,202 --> 02:19:20,604
member easily recognized, sir.

3359
02:19:20,604 --> 02:19:21,737
Thank you very much. I'm in

3360
02:19:21,737 --> 02:19:23,472
support of the deferral. I was

3361
02:19:23,472 --> 02:19:25,800
at the meeting this afternoon.

3362
02:19:25,800 --> 02:19:27,142
There as no more clarity in

3363
02:19:27,142 --> 02:19:28,978
the beginning of the meeting or

3364
02:19:28,978 --> 02:19:29,813
the end of the meeting. The

3365
02:19:29,813 --> 02:19:31,448
commissioners weren't happy.

3366
02:19:31,448 --> 02:19:32,915
There were no real clear

3367
02:19:32,915 --> 02:19:34,683
answers. We're still split on

3368
02:19:34,683 --> 02:19:36,518
the best way to do this. The

3369
02:19:36,518 --> 02:19:37,921
commissioners do have concerns

3370
02:19:37,921 --> 02:19:39,689
about the mayor being in charge

3371
02:19:39,689 --> 02:19:41,459
of the executive director of

3372
02:19:41,459 --> 02:19:42,692
this commission, and I think

3373
02:19:42,692 --> 02:19:43,827
that's something tht we really

3374
02:19:43,827 --> 02:19:45,961
need to look at. We're looking

3375
02:19:45,961 --> 02:19:48,431
at starting a snowball right

3376
02:19:48,431 --> 02:19:50,133
now. It's $300,000, but before

3377
02:19:50,133 --> 02:19:52,269
we know it, this will be a full

3378
02:19:52,269 --> 02:19:53,737
department with a giant annual

3379
02:19:53,737 --> 02:19:56,239
budget, and we won't be able to

3380
02:19:56,239 --> 02:19:57,440
stop it. But we will know as of

3381
02:19:57,440 --> 02:19:59,442
tonight that we started it on

3382
02:19:59,442 --> 02:20:00,609
the wrong path. And if we

3383
02:20:00,609 --> 02:20:02,544
expect it to end up on the

3384
02:20:02,544 --> 02:20:03,747
right path after putting it on

3385
02:20:03,747 --> 02:20:05,548
the wrong path in the beginning,

3386
02:20:05,548 --> 02:20:06,750
we're just lying to ourselves.

3387
02:20:06,750 --> 02:20:07,850
There are some council members

3388
02:20:07,850 --> 02:20:09,519
that do want to move this

3389
02:20:09,519 --> 02:20:11,354
forward, and I feel like, like

3390
02:20:11,354 --> 02:20:13,189
my colleague said, it's out of

3391
02:20:13,189 --> 02:20:14,357
frustration instead of out of

3392
02:20:14,357 --> 02:20:16,326
completion. And we don't have

3393
02:20:16,326 --> 02:20:18,261
to do this tonight. We can take

3394
02:20:18,261 --> 02:20:21,630
a little more time, try to get

3395
02:20:21,630 --> 02:20:22,365
the two, the mayor's

3396
02:20:22,365 --> 02:20:24,233
administration and the sponsor

3397
02:20:24,233 --> 02:20:25,469
of the bill to come together on

3398
02:20:25,469 --> 02:20:26,603
a better plan, rather than just

3399
02:20:26,603 --> 02:20:28,237
throwing our hands up and

3400
02:20:28,237 --> 02:20:30,173
saying, let's just vote on

3401
02:20:30,173 --> 02:20:31,540
something and get it done. So I

3402
02:20:31,540 --> 02:20:33,743
would ask the rest of the

3403
02:20:33,743 --> 02:20:35,513
council to think about this.

3404
02:20:35,513 --> 02:20:37,130
Give two more weeks, just two

3405
02:20:37,130 --> 02:20:38,381
more weeks to try to find a

3406
02:20:38,381 --> 02:20:39,950
better solution. If we don't,

3407
02:20:39,950 --> 02:20:41,840
it's okay. We're still in the

3408
02:20:41,840 --> 02:20:42,385
same spot, but at least we

3409
02:20:42,385 --> 02:20:43,453
tried.

3410
02:20:43,453 --> 02:20:44,654
All right. Thank you.

3411
02:20:44,654 --> 02:20:46,423
Next in the queue is council

3412
02:20:46,423 --> 02:20:47,457
member cap on the motion to

3413
02:20:47,457 --> 02:20:48,325
defer. Go ahead sir.

3414
02:20:48,325 --> 02:20:50,325
Thank you,

3415
02:20:50,627 --> 02:20:52,620
vice mayor. Those of us in the

3416
02:20:52,620 --> 02:20:54,462
apple committee have been

3417
02:20:54,631 --> 02:20:55,732
through this on various

3418
02:20:55,732 --> 02:20:56,800
versions of bills related to

3419
02:20:56,800 --> 02:20:57,834
the entertainment commission

3420
02:20:57,834 --> 02:20:59,703
for this entire term. And I

3421
02:20:59,703 --> 02:21:01,371
know on the floor we've been

3422
02:21:01,371 --> 02:21:02,873
through it as well. There's

3423
02:21:02,873 --> 02:21:04,400
something I'd like to deduce

3424
02:21:04,400 --> 02:21:05,242
from that experience, which is

3425
02:21:05,242 --> 02:21:07,110
that all the bills we've passed

3426
02:21:07,110 --> 02:21:08,678
so far have not resulted in a

3427
02:21:08,678 --> 02:21:10,678
functioning entertainment

3428
02:21:11,549 --> 02:21:14,549
commission for this city. It's

3429
02:21:14,719 --> 02:21:16,921
been stated that folks want one

3430
02:21:16,921 --> 02:21:18,722
bill. Well, that means that

3431
02:21:18,722 --> 02:21:20,524
it's down to us to decide how

3432
02:21:20,524 --> 02:21:22,593
to proceed on this bill. I

3433
02:21:22,593 --> 02:21:24,195
think it's highly unlikely that

3434
02:21:24,195 --> 02:21:26,630
a deferral of this bill will

3435
02:21:26,630 --> 02:21:27,732
result in a compromise between

3436
02:21:27,732 --> 02:21:29,200
the idea that the mayor's

3437
02:21:29,200 --> 02:21:30,200
office has hiring authority

3438
02:21:30,200 --> 02:21:31,269
over the executive director's

3439
02:21:31,269 --> 02:21:33,700
position, or that the

3440
02:21:33,700 --> 02:21:35,273
commission does. I think it's

3441
02:21:35,273 --> 02:21:37,742
unlikely that all of the

3442
02:21:37,742 --> 02:21:38,876
previous deferrals that didn't

3443
02:21:38,876 --> 02:21:40,411
result in some synthesis

3444
02:21:40,411 --> 02:21:42,479
between those views will result

3445
02:21:42,479 --> 02:21:44,215
in one over the next two weeks.

3446
02:21:44,215 --> 02:21:46,851
It is up to us to make this

3447
02:21:46,851 --> 02:21:47,852
decision. I come at this from a

3448
02:21:47,852 --> 02:21:48,920
perspective of these

3449
02:21:48,920 --> 02:21:50,920
commissioners have worked

3450
02:21:51,550 --> 02:21:52,556
really hard and have had an

3451
02:21:52,556 --> 02:21:54,292
incredibly frustrating

3452
02:21:54,292 --> 02:21:56,127
experience over the past few

3453
02:21:56,127 --> 02:21:57,761
years. It is up to us to give

3454
02:21:57,761 --> 02:21:59,397
them a framework to move

3455
02:21:59,397 --> 02:22:00,865
forward. If we share an

3456
02:22:00,865 --> 02:22:02,660
interest in standing up a

3457
02:22:02,660 --> 02:22:03,401
commission that can function,

3458
02:22:03,401 --> 02:22:04,968
that will be accountable, we

3459
02:22:04,968 --> 02:22:06,202
will all be watching. We will

3460
02:22:06,202 --> 02:22:07,405
know whether it succeeds or

3461
02:22:07,405 --> 02:22:09,240
fails. Everybody is going to be

3462
02:22:09,240 --> 02:22:11,108
paying attention to this. We've

3463
02:22:11,108 --> 02:22:12,143
got to give it a structure to

3464
02:22:12,143 --> 02:22:14,543
work. Every previous structure

3465
02:22:14,545 --> 02:22:16,347
that we've tried to do has not

3466
02:22:16,347 --> 02:22:18,747
resulted in a functioning

3467
02:22:19,149 --> 02:22:21,170
commission. We tonight can move

3468
02:22:21,170 --> 02:22:23,860
forward on a bill that allows

3469
02:22:23,860 --> 02:22:24,288
that to happen, that will then

3470
02:22:24,288 --> 02:22:25,690
stand up this commission

3471
02:22:25,690 --> 02:22:27,858
without any further delay. I

3472
02:22:27,858 --> 02:22:29,994
urge us to do that tonight. We

3473
02:22:29,994 --> 02:22:32,129
can make the decision. This is

3474
02:22:32,129 --> 02:22:33,898
how we get to one bill. We can

3475
02:22:33,898 --> 02:22:35,333
debate and discuss and decide

3476
02:22:35,333 --> 02:22:37,567
this isn't just something to

3477
02:22:37,567 --> 02:22:39,269
move it forward. This is the

3478
02:22:39,269 --> 02:22:40,471
bill that can that we have

3479
02:22:40,471 --> 02:22:42,273
debated in committee and

3480
02:22:42,273 --> 02:22:44,442
discussed as a way of doing a

3481
02:22:44,442 --> 02:22:45,476
workable framework. If an

3482
02:22:45,476 --> 02:22:48,412
executive director is in an

3483
02:22:48,412 --> 02:22:50,381
office by herself or himself,

3484
02:22:50,381 --> 02:22:51,249
he or she will not be able to

3485
02:22:51,249 --> 02:22:52,450
coordinate across metro

3486
02:22:52,450 --> 02:22:54,118
departments in the way that we

3487
02:22:54,118 --> 02:22:55,920
are all hoping to happen, that,

3488
02:22:55,920 --> 02:22:57,221
for better or worse, can only

3489
02:22:57,221 --> 02:22:58,789
happen through the imprimatur

3490
02:22:58,789 --> 02:23:00,725
of the mayor's office. We all

3491
02:23:00,725 --> 02:23:02,526
are asking for that to happen,

3492
02:23:02,526 --> 02:23:03,828
so let's make it happen. Thank

3493
02:23:03,828 --> 02:23:04,495
you colleagues.

3494
02:23:04,495 --> 02:23:06,495
Thank you, MR.

3495
02:23:08,467 --> 02:23:10,701
Cap. MISS Foe, do you want me

3496
02:23:10,701 --> 02:23:14,710
to keep. Okay. Next in the

3497
02:23:14,710 --> 02:23:16,471
queue. MR. Nash. Recognized,

3498
02:23:18,542 --> 02:23:20,542
sir.

3499
02:23:20,746 --> 02:23:22,480
Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT.

3500
02:23:22,480 --> 02:23:24,383
As one of the older members of

3501
02:23:24,383 --> 02:23:27,285
this council. I would like to

3502
02:23:27,285 --> 02:23:30,285
see something passed while I'm

3503
02:23:32,957 --> 02:23:35,894
still able to be here. The. The.

3504
02:23:35,894 --> 02:23:37,695
This has been discussed and

3505
02:23:37,695 --> 02:23:39,497
discussed and discussed, and I

3506
02:23:39,497 --> 02:23:40,866
really think it is time we pass

3507
02:23:40,866 --> 02:23:42,334
it. I remember when the

3508
02:23:42,334 --> 02:23:44,734
commissioners were here during

3509
02:23:44,836 --> 02:23:47,836
budget talks and they were

3510
02:23:48,106 --> 02:23:49,875
asking for the 325,000 some

3511
02:23:49,875 --> 02:23:52,900
dollars, and I went back to

3512
02:23:52,900 --> 02:23:53,278
them and I said, well, where

3513
02:23:53,278 --> 02:23:55,647
are you going to be working out

3514
02:23:55,647 --> 02:23:56,748
of the trunk of your car? And

3515
02:23:56,748 --> 02:23:59,618
they really didn't have an

3516
02:23:59,618 --> 02:24:01,786
answer for that. The mayor has

3517
02:24:01,786 --> 02:24:03,221
now given them an answer. They

3518
02:24:03,221 --> 02:24:05,570
can work out of the mayor's

3519
02:24:05,570 --> 02:24:07,392
office as they grow this

3520
02:24:07,392 --> 02:24:09,361
commission, as they develop

3521
02:24:09,361 --> 02:24:11,597
this business. We don't need to

3522
02:24:11,597 --> 02:24:12,197
defer this any further. Thank

3523
02:24:12,197 --> 02:24:14,197
you.

3524
02:24:14,833 --> 02:24:16,435
All right. MISS, you have

3525
02:24:16,435 --> 02:24:17,369
yet to speak on the deferral

3526
02:24:17,369 --> 02:24:18,737
motion, specifically in your

3527
02:24:18,737 --> 02:24:19,504
next in the queue. So go ahead,

3528
02:24:19,504 --> 02:24:20,472
please, ma'am.

3529
02:24:20,472 --> 02:24:22,407
Thank you, vice

3530
02:24:22,407 --> 02:24:23,575
mayor. I do want to point out

3531
02:24:23,575 --> 02:24:25,844
in committee we did discuss a

3532
02:24:25,844 --> 02:24:27,713
deferral and failed four in

3533
02:24:27,713 --> 02:24:30,713
favor, five against and zero

3534
02:24:31,649 --> 02:24:32,718
not voting. And I really

3535
02:24:32,718 --> 02:24:35,118
appreciate the sentiments of

3536
02:24:35,988 --> 02:24:38,388
and comments and discussion.

3537
02:24:39,190 --> 02:24:40,825
But I rise in against the

3538
02:24:40,825 --> 02:24:43,595
deferral because of the reasons

3539
02:24:43,595 --> 02:24:45,163
I stated before. And I think

3540
02:24:45,163 --> 02:24:46,564
that we are all ready for

3541
02:24:46,564 --> 02:24:48,634
action. I think this allows us

3542
02:24:48,634 --> 02:24:51,169
to see action and that we will

3543
02:24:51,169 --> 02:24:53,971
keep the pressure on so that we

3544
02:24:53,971 --> 02:24:55,806
can have all the different,

3545
02:24:55,806 --> 02:24:57,309
amazing opportunities that this

3546
02:24:57,309 --> 02:24:58,777
office will present itself, and

3547
02:24:58,777 --> 02:25:00,412
we need someone to lead that.

3548
02:25:00,412 --> 02:25:01,846
And so I encourage my

3549
02:25:01,846 --> 02:25:04,846
colleagues to vote, to vote

3550
02:25:04,983 --> 02:25:07,486
against deferral and to vote

3551
02:25:07,486 --> 02:25:09,200
for the bill. Thank you.

3552
02:25:09,200 --> 02:25:09,320
Council member evans. You're

3553
02:25:09,320 --> 02:25:10,550
recognized.

3554
02:25:10,550 --> 02:25:12,550
Thank you, vice

3555
02:25:12,189 --> 02:25:13,292
mayor. I appreciate being

3556
02:25:13,292 --> 02:25:14,793
recognized on the deferral. I

3557
02:25:14,793 --> 02:25:16,328
am in support of the deferral

3558
02:25:16,328 --> 02:25:17,528
tonight. I could not be at the

3559
02:25:17,528 --> 02:25:19,298
meeting this afternoon because

3560
02:25:19,298 --> 02:25:20,465
I had a conflict. But I think

3561
02:25:20,465 --> 02:25:23,367
that the biggest struggle that

3562
02:25:23,367 --> 02:25:25,504
I have related to the

3563
02:25:25,504 --> 02:25:26,672
commission, the members

3564
02:25:26,672 --> 02:25:27,639
experience and kind of the

3565
02:25:27,639 --> 02:25:30,390
feedback that they have

3566
02:25:30,242 --> 02:25:32,910
provided so far is, you know,

3567
02:25:32,910 --> 02:25:34,680
getting it right for them means

3568
02:25:34,680 --> 02:25:35,781
a variety of different things.

3569
02:25:35,781 --> 02:25:37,150
You know, we've talked about

3570
02:25:37,150 --> 02:25:38,550
this idea of incubation and

3571
02:25:38,550 --> 02:25:40,519
what that really looks like. I

3572
02:25:40,519 --> 02:25:42,870
don't feel like I have a firm

3573
02:25:42,870 --> 02:25:43,556
understanding of define

3574
02:25:43,556 --> 02:25:46,580
incubation and what level of

3575
02:25:46,580 --> 02:25:47,894
support are we going to have

3576
02:25:47,894 --> 02:25:49,228
with the commission and the

3577
02:25:49,228 --> 02:25:50,295
executive director being in the

3578
02:25:50,295 --> 02:25:52,231
mayor's office? What does that

3579
02:25:52,231 --> 02:25:53,332
looklike? And when we talk

3580
02:25:53,332 --> 02:25:55,330
about, you know, we were

3581
02:25:55,330 --> 02:25:56,535
talking earlier about mndot and

3582
02:25:56,535 --> 02:25:58,270
vision zero and things like

3583
02:25:58,270 --> 02:26:00,720
that. And if you don't have

3584
02:26:00,720 --> 02:26:02,472
institutional support, that is

3585
02:26:03,443 --> 02:26:05,110
legitimate. Meaning in this

3586
02:26:05,110 --> 02:26:06,511
case, the administration that's

3587
02:26:06,511 --> 02:26:08,130
really willing to put their

3588
02:26:08,130 --> 02:26:09,781
money where their mouth is.

3589
02:26:09,781 --> 02:26:13,520
Remember, we were the ones that

3590
02:26:13,520 --> 02:26:14,860
had to resurrect this entire

3591
02:26:14,860 --> 02:26:16,322
process as part of the

3592
02:26:16,322 --> 02:26:18,457
substitute budget. It was not

3593
02:26:18,457 --> 02:26:20,930
part of the administration's

3594
02:26:20,930 --> 02:26:22,761
budget. And so I can understand

3595
02:26:22,761 --> 02:26:24,596
their frustration and their

3596
02:26:24,596 --> 02:26:26,996
uncertainty as a commission,

3597
02:26:27,660 --> 02:26:28,534
thinking that we do not

3598
02:26:28,534 --> 02:26:30,934
collectively have their back

3599
02:26:31,803 --> 02:26:33,538
based on how that whole process

3600
02:26:33,538 --> 02:26:34,974
transpired. And so when I'm

3601
02:26:34,974 --> 02:26:36,409
thinking about the level of

3602
02:26:36,409 --> 02:26:39,312
commitment that I would like to

3603
02:26:39,312 --> 02:26:41,113
see, I think an ability for

3604
02:26:41,113 --> 02:26:42,648
both stakeholders in this case

3605
02:26:42,648 --> 02:26:45,480
between the administration and

3606
02:26:45,418 --> 02:26:47,987
the prime sponsor to work

3607
02:26:47,987 --> 02:26:49,756
through kind of these issues in

3608
02:26:49,756 --> 02:26:51,591
conjunction, you know, with

3609
02:26:51,591 --> 02:26:53,359
with derek and metro legal, I

3610
02:26:53,359 --> 02:26:55,494
think that would be a valid or

3611
02:26:55,494 --> 02:26:56,764
warranted exercise. And I and

3612
02:26:56,764 --> 02:26:57,864
for the folks that are like,

3613
02:26:57,864 --> 02:26:59,631
well, I've heard this during

3614
02:26:59,631 --> 02:27:00,833
this term, think about those of

3615
02:27:00,833 --> 02:27:02,502
us who are second termers who

3616
02:27:02,502 --> 02:27:03,569
have been through this,you

3617
02:27:03,569 --> 02:27:05,939
know, with council member

3618
02:27:05,939 --> 02:27:07,406
swope's feedback kind of

3619
02:27:07,406 --> 02:27:09,609
resonating as part of in my

3620
02:27:09,609 --> 02:27:11,430
head right now related to his

3621
02:27:11,430 --> 02:27:12,812
concerns about our ability to

3622
02:27:12,812 --> 02:27:14,346
actually execute on this

3623
02:27:14,346 --> 02:27:16,480
process. And so I'm going to

3624
02:27:16,480 --> 02:27:17,884
support the deferral tonight.

3625
02:27:17,884 --> 02:27:20,720
If the deferral fails, I will

3626
02:27:20,720 --> 02:27:22,121
be voting against bill. So

3627
02:27:22,121 --> 02:27:22,654
thank you so much.

3628
02:27:22,654 --> 02:27:24,654
Thank you,

3629
02:27:26,124 --> 02:27:27,594
MISS Evans. Debate continues on

3630
02:27:27,594 --> 02:27:28,794
the deferral motion. Next in

3631
02:27:28,794 --> 02:27:30,329
the queue, councilmemberparker.

3632
02:27:30,329 --> 02:27:31,230
Go ahead sir.

3633
02:27:31,230 --> 02:27:32,164
Previous question,

3634
02:27:32,164 --> 02:27:34,164
MADAM Vice mayor.

3635
02:27:34,367 --> 02:27:35,501
Okay. Okay.

3636
02:27:35,501 --> 02:27:36,602
MR. Parker has called the

3637
02:27:36,602 --> 02:27:38,738
previous question. It's been

3638
02:27:38,738 --> 02:27:39,440
properly seconded. This is a

3639
02:27:39,440 --> 02:27:41,440
non-debatable motion that

3640
02:27:41,573 --> 02:27:44,209
requires two thirds of those

3641
02:27:44,209 --> 02:27:45,945
voting. If you vote in favor of

3642
02:27:45,945 --> 02:27:47,779
the previous question, you want

3643
02:27:47,779 --> 02:27:50,216
to end debate and move to the

3644
02:27:50,216 --> 02:27:52,752
vote. If you vote no, you would

3645
02:27:52,752 --> 02:27:55,200
like a discussion on this

3646
02:27:55,200 --> 02:27:57,423
deferral motion to continue. As

3647
02:27:57,423 --> 02:27:59,926
I always ask on these somewhat

3648
02:27:59,926 --> 02:28:02,161
contentious matters, please, by

3649
02:28:02,161 --> 02:28:03,462
number, not by volume. Okay.

3650
02:28:03,462 --> 02:28:04,663
All in favor of the previous

3651
02:28:04,663 --> 02:28:05,331
question, please say aye.

3652
02:28:05,331 --> 02:28:06,531
Aye.

3653
02:28:06,531 --> 02:28:07,533
All of those against the

3654
02:28:07,533 --> 02:28:09,933
previous question, please say

3655
02:28:12,538 --> 02:28:15,108
no. The ayes have it in an

3656
02:28:15,108 --> 02:28:17,677
abundance of caution. MR. Clark,

3657
02:28:17,677 --> 02:28:20,813
if you would please load the

3658
02:28:20,813 --> 02:28:23,813
vote for the one meeting

3659
02:28:39,650 --> 02:28:41,650
deferral motion.

3660
02:28:48,509 --> 02:28:50,509
We will be

3661
02:29:00,119 --> 02:29:03,230
back for three years. Right?

3662
02:29:03,230 --> 02:29:03,222
MISS Hancock, do you seek to

3663
02:29:03,222 --> 02:29:04,991
vote?

3664
02:29:04,991 --> 02:29:05,224
Is this more than a year

3665
02:29:05,224 --> 02:29:06,125
of the.

3666
02:29:06,125 --> 02:29:06,960
Last term?

3667
02:29:06,960 --> 02:29:08,194
Okay. All

3668
02:29:08,194 --> 02:29:10,863
votes in. MR. Clerk, please

3669
02:29:10,863 --> 02:29:12,732
show the vote. Okay. The

3670
02:29:12,732 --> 02:29:15,132
deferral motion has failed.

3671
02:29:15,201 --> 02:29:16,836
With ten votes in favor and 25

3672
02:29:16,836 --> 02:29:19,236
against and one abstention.

3673
02:29:19,505 --> 02:29:22,750
That means we are now back on

3674
02:29:22,750 --> 02:29:25,750
the motion to approve. All

3675
02:29:27,513 --> 02:29:29,382
right. MISS Stiles, do you seek

3676
02:29:29,382 --> 02:29:32,586
to be recognized on the motion

3677
02:29:32,586 --> 02:29:35,210
to approve? Okay. Go ahead,

3678
02:29:35,210 --> 02:29:36,323
ma'am.

3679
02:29:36,323 --> 02:29:38,920
I think it goes without

3680
02:29:38,920 --> 02:29:40,940
saying that I'm going to be a

3681
02:29:40,940 --> 02:29:42,263
no. I just wanted to say, for

3682
02:29:42,263 --> 02:29:43,697
the record, we are spitting in

3683
02:29:43,697 --> 02:29:45,431
the faces of every single

3684
02:29:45,431 --> 02:29:47,300
creative that has told us they

3685
02:29:47,300 --> 02:29:49,436
don't want this to happen. We

3686
02:29:49,436 --> 02:29:50,804
haven't received a single email

3687
02:29:50,804 --> 02:29:52,600
from anyone in the creative

3688
02:29:52,600 --> 02:29:53,941
community in this city to tell

3689
02:29:53,941 --> 02:29:55,809
us that they want this to go in

3690
02:29:55,809 --> 02:29:56,944
the mayor's office. So if we're

3691
02:29:56,944 --> 02:29:57,945
sitting here and we're voting

3692
02:29:57,945 --> 02:29:59,879
for something that we know

3693
02:29:59,879 --> 02:30:01,115
these people do not want, and I

3694
02:30:01,115 --> 02:30:02,883
don't trust this administration

3695
02:30:02,883 --> 02:30:04,150
to get this off the ground in a

3696
02:30:04,150 --> 02:30:06,190
year. I hope that my saying

3697
02:30:06,190 --> 02:30:06,921
that spurs them to do something

3698
02:30:06,921 --> 02:30:08,188
that's actually great, but I

3699
02:30:08,188 --> 02:30:11,188
don't believe it's going to

3700
02:30:13,159 --> 02:30:14,328
happen. But please, please

3701
02:30:14,328 --> 02:30:17,928
consider this is not about us

3702
02:30:18,198 --> 02:30:20,400
in here. This is about the

3703
02:30:20,400 --> 02:30:21,770
constituency group of creatives.

3704
02:30:21,770 --> 02:30:22,903
And there was a lot of

3705
02:30:22,903 --> 02:30:24,838
frustration. And not one of you

3706
02:30:24,838 --> 02:30:25,873
that is on this bill showed up

3707
02:30:25,873 --> 02:30:28,374
at today's meeting or the

3708
02:30:28,374 --> 02:30:29,910
meeting two weeks ago. If it

3709
02:30:29,910 --> 02:30:30,978
mattered that much to you to

3710
02:30:30,978 --> 02:30:32,212
move it forward, certainly the

3711
02:30:32,212 --> 02:30:34,748
lead sponsor could have shown

3712
02:30:34,748 --> 02:30:37,748
up, but that didn't happen

3713
02:30:38,953 --> 02:30:40,154
either. So I hope, you know,

3714
02:30:40,154 --> 02:30:41,921
the idea of putting pressure on

3715
02:30:41,921 --> 02:30:43,157
the group of people that have

3716
02:30:43,157 --> 02:30:44,925
spent all of their efforts and

3717
02:30:44,925 --> 02:30:45,892
energy to stop them from doing

3718
02:30:45,892 --> 02:30:48,292
anything doesn't really make

3719
02:30:49,897 --> 02:30:52,320
sense. So I hope please

3720
02:30:52,320 --> 02:30:55,320
reconsider voting yes for this.

3721
02:30:55,669 --> 02:30:57,304
Please vote no. Maybe we could

3722
02:30:57,304 --> 02:30:57,904
come up with something that

3723
02:30:57,904 --> 02:30:58,906
could make sense.

3724
02:30:58,906 --> 02:30:59,974
All right.

3725
02:30:59,974 --> 02:31:02,374
Discussion continues on the

3726
02:31:04,411 --> 02:31:05,946
motion to approve. 1431. Next

3727
02:31:05,946 --> 02:31:06,914
in the queue is council member

3728
02:31:06,914 --> 02:31:07,147
copen. Go ahead sir.

3729
02:31:07,147 --> 02:31:08,781
Thank you,

3730
02:31:08,781 --> 02:31:09,950
MADAM PRESIDENT. Would the

3731
02:31:09,950 --> 02:31:12,118
would this be an appropriate

3732
02:31:12,118 --> 02:31:13,854
time to offer my amendment, or

3733
02:31:13,854 --> 02:31:15,788
are we still on MISS Style

3734
02:31:15,788 --> 02:31:16,857
substitute?

3735
02:31:16,857 --> 02:31:19,257
We're we're on the

3736
02:31:19,360 --> 02:31:21,296
bill. And so we were never on

3737
02:31:21,296 --> 02:31:23,630
MISS Styles substitute. She had

3738
02:31:23,630 --> 02:31:24,331
a motion to defer. That has

3739
02:31:24,331 --> 02:31:25,667
failed. And so a motion to

3740
02:31:25,667 --> 02:31:27,469
amend is a proper motion, and.

3741
02:31:27,469 --> 02:31:28,535
I would like to move to amend

3742
02:31:28,535 --> 02:31:29,370
with a brief comment.

3743
02:31:29,370 --> 02:31:31,370
Is there

3744
02:31:31,673 --> 02:31:33,140
a second on the motion to amend?

3745
02:31:33,140 --> 02:31:34,207
MISS Allen has seconded. Go

3746
02:31:34,207 --> 02:31:34,642
ahead, MR. Cooper.

3747
02:31:34,642 --> 02:31:35,676
Thank you,

3748
02:31:35,676 --> 02:31:36,677
MADAM PRESIDENT. I appreciate

3749
02:31:36,677 --> 02:31:38,646
this discussion. I think at the

3750
02:31:38,646 --> 02:31:39,747
end all know

3751
02:31:39,747 --> 02:31:41,150
that music, tv, film are

3752
02:31:41,150 --> 02:31:43,415
incredibly important to our

3753
02:31:43,550 --> 02:31:44,618
city, and I appreciate

3754
02:31:44,618 --> 02:31:46,452
everybody's efforts, even

3755
02:31:46,452 --> 02:31:47,621
though there's disagreement on

3756
02:31:47,621 --> 02:31:50,580
how to get there, on the

3757
02:31:50,580 --> 02:31:51,126
commitment to do it, as MISS

3758
02:31:51,126 --> 02:31:53,610
Evans stated originally, this

3759
02:31:53,610 --> 02:31:54,161
was unfunded in the original

3760
02:31:54,161 --> 02:31:55,863
budget, and I appreciate our

3761
02:31:55,863 --> 02:31:56,897
support here in the body for

3762
02:31:56,897 --> 02:31:58,265
getting that funding and

3763
02:31:58,265 --> 02:32:00,670
getting this moving and making

3764
02:32:00,670 --> 02:32:02,303
this a topic that the mayor has

3765
02:32:02,303 --> 02:32:03,771
now pledged full support to.

3766
02:32:03,771 --> 02:32:05,372
And I have no doubt that if

3767
02:32:05,372 --> 02:32:07,308
thispasses and it ends up in

3768
02:32:07,308 --> 02:32:09,770
his office, that he will, you

3769
02:32:09,770 --> 02:32:10,945
know, with full force, hire

3770
02:32:10,945 --> 02:32:13,815
this person and, you know,

3771
02:32:13,815 --> 02:32:15,490
begin that process. So this my

3772
02:32:15,490 --> 02:32:16,685
amendment isn't really speaking

3773
02:32:16,685 --> 02:32:18,452
to this process, but rather

3774
02:32:18,452 --> 02:32:21,355
codifying how we got to this

3775
02:32:21,355 --> 02:32:23,458
higher in the in the current

3776
02:32:23,458 --> 02:32:24,726
iteration, it set up such that

3777
02:32:24,726 --> 02:32:26,428
the commission gets to narrow

3778
02:32:26,428 --> 02:32:27,561
down the candidate shaping the

3779
02:32:27,561 --> 02:32:29,764
direction of the office, and

3780
02:32:29,764 --> 02:32:32,533
then the mayor hires their

3781
02:32:32,533 --> 02:32:34,301
their selection. And so both

3782
02:32:34,301 --> 02:32:35,736
the mayor's initial bill and

3783
02:32:35,736 --> 02:32:38,307
MISS Dale's initial bill took

3784
02:32:38,307 --> 02:32:39,908
that process away. And so this

3785
02:32:39,908 --> 02:32:41,943
amendment would bring it back.

3786
02:32:41,943 --> 02:32:43,111
I think that one of the one of

3787
02:32:43,111 --> 02:32:44,913
the top things I've heard from

3788
02:32:44,913 --> 02:32:46,460
the commissioners is to not let

3789
02:32:46,460 --> 02:32:47,248
this be a politicized office,

3790
02:32:47,248 --> 02:32:48,383
whether it's one administration

3791
02:32:48,383 --> 02:32:50,485
or two administrations or ten

3792
02:32:50,485 --> 02:32:51,553
down the road. This is a highly

3793
02:32:51,553 --> 02:32:53,388
political industry. It'san

3794
02:32:53,388 --> 02:32:54,855
industry that that runs the

3795
02:32:54,855 --> 02:32:56,223
risk of becoming a political

3796
02:32:56,223 --> 02:32:59,126
football. We've seen it happen

3797
02:32:59,126 --> 02:33:00,995
here. And so this amendment

3798
02:33:00,995 --> 02:33:03,395
would restore the commission's

3799
02:33:03,832 --> 02:33:06,301
ability to shape the direction

3800
02:33:06,301 --> 02:33:07,535
of the of the hires. The mayor

3801
02:33:07,535 --> 02:33:09,303
retains the right to hire. He

3802
02:33:09,303 --> 02:33:10,772
retains the right to reject any

3803
02:33:10,772 --> 02:33:12,340
of the candidates. And so I

3804
02:33:12,340 --> 02:33:12,806
know that there were some

3805
02:33:12,806 --> 02:33:14,806
concerns from legality

3806
02:33:15,677 --> 02:33:17,211
perspective over kind of where

3807
02:33:17,211 --> 02:33:18,446
where that charter authority is.

3808
02:33:18,446 --> 02:33:20,382
But I still

3809
02:33:20,382 --> 02:33:21,549
believe that this

3810
02:33:21,549 --> 02:33:23,551
amendment would be okay because,

3811
02:33:23,551 --> 02:33:24,685
again, the mayor, at the end of

3812
02:33:24,685 --> 02:33:27,255
the day, can reject the

3813
02:33:27,255 --> 02:33:28,423
candidates and be received new

3814
02:33:28,423 --> 02:33:30,392
ones. It does also put a shot

3815
02:33:30,392 --> 02:33:32,260
clock that gives him 60 days to

3816
02:33:32,260 --> 02:33:34,562
respond once commit. Once the

3817
02:33:34,562 --> 02:33:36,498
members are put forward. So I

3818
02:33:36,498 --> 02:33:37,632
think it's a good amendment. I

3819
02:33:37,632 --> 02:33:39,340
think it would help help the

3820
02:33:39,340 --> 02:33:40,602
bill, help the commissioners

3821
02:33:40,602 --> 02:33:42,304
feel like they have a sense of

3822
02:33:42,304 --> 02:33:44,104
purpose if this amendment

3823
02:33:44,104 --> 02:33:45,941
doesn't go on and the bill

3824
02:33:45,941 --> 02:33:47,242
mayor's bill goes forward,

3825
02:33:47,242 --> 02:33:48,310
where this is in the mayor's

3826
02:33:48,310 --> 02:33:49,511
office for an unspecified

3827
02:33:49,511 --> 02:33:51,412
amount of incubation time, with

3828
02:33:51,412 --> 02:33:53,181
no opportunity for the

3829
02:33:53,181 --> 02:33:54,182
commissioners to weigh in the

3830
02:33:54,182 --> 02:33:55,883
commission. I mean, I don't at

3831
02:33:55,883 --> 02:33:57,752
that point, I don't even know

3832
02:33:57,752 --> 02:33:58,821
what the what the goal of the

3833
02:33:58,821 --> 02:34:00,789
commission then becomes. So my

3834
02:34:00,789 --> 02:34:01,856
hope is that we can listen to

3835
02:34:01,856 --> 02:34:03,825
the people, listen to the

3836
02:34:03,825 --> 02:34:04,992
public as we say we do, and at

3837
02:34:04,992 --> 02:34:06,394
least give the commission some

3838
02:34:06,394 --> 02:34:07,495
voice in this matter.

3839
02:34:07,495 --> 02:34:09,495
All right.

3840
02:34:10,365 --> 02:34:12,934
So we are on the motion to

3841
02:34:12,934 --> 02:34:14,703
amend with MISTER Coupons

3842
02:34:14,703 --> 02:34:16,204
amendment. It was properly

3843
02:34:16,204 --> 02:34:17,205
seconded. You've heard a

3844
02:34:17,205 --> 02:34:19,605
description of the amendment

3845
02:34:19,641 --> 02:34:21,243
from the sponsor. And so we are

3846
02:34:21,243 --> 02:34:22,310
going to continue discussion. I

3847
02:34:22,310 --> 02:34:23,945
believe I saw MISS Benedict

3848
02:34:23,945 --> 02:34:25,113
shaking her head that she does

3849
02:34:25,113 --> 02:34:26,948
not seek to be recognized on

3850
02:34:26,948 --> 02:34:29,850
the motion to amend. MISS Welch

3851
02:34:29,850 --> 02:34:30,986
on the motion to amend MISS

3852
02:34:30,986 --> 02:34:33,880
Suara on the motion toamend.

3853
02:34:33,880 --> 02:34:34,122
Is there anyone in the queue

3854
02:34:34,122 --> 02:34:35,957
specifically seeking to be

3855
02:34:35,957 --> 02:34:38,957
recognized on the motion to

3856
02:34:39,894 --> 02:34:42,764
amend? Okay, let me go. In

3857
02:34:42,764 --> 02:34:45,764
order again. Hands for motion

3858
02:34:47,470 --> 02:34:50,470
to amend. Bradford horton. Oh

3859
02:34:50,505 --> 02:34:51,539
yeah. Okay. I believe first in

3860
02:34:51,539 --> 02:34:53,642
the queue on the motion to

3861
02:34:53,642 --> 02:34:54,677
amend is MISS Vo. MISS Vo,

3862
02:34:54,677 --> 02:34:55,410
you're recognized.

3863
02:34:55,410 --> 02:34:57,311
Thank you so

3864
02:34:57,311 --> 02:34:58,713
much, vice mayor. I do want to

3865
02:34:58,713 --> 02:35:00,810
just remind everyone that we

3866
02:35:00,810 --> 02:35:01,850
did discuss the amendment in

3867
02:35:01,850 --> 02:35:03,986
committee, and it failed. Zero

3868
02:35:03,986 --> 02:35:05,754
in favor, seven against two not

3869
02:35:05,754 --> 02:35:08,230
voting. And we had concerns

3870
02:35:08,230 --> 02:35:09,758
about legal issues. And I'd

3871
02:35:09,758 --> 02:35:13,358
like to defer to the mayor's

3872
02:35:13,762 --> 02:35:16,162
office for additional input.

3873
02:35:17,332 --> 02:35:19,868
Okay. You're seeking a position

3874
02:35:19,868 --> 02:35:19,935
from the administration on.

3875
02:35:19,935 --> 02:35:20,936
On

3876
02:35:20,936 --> 02:35:22,404
the amendment.

3877
02:35:22,404 --> 02:35:23,438
Yes. Thank you,

3878
02:35:23,438 --> 02:35:24,506
MR. Rosenberg. You're

3879
02:35:24,506 --> 02:35:24,973
recognized, sir.

3880
02:35:24,973 --> 02:35:26,308
Thank you,

3881
02:35:26,308 --> 02:35:28,110
MADAM PRESIDENT. Dave rosenberg

3882
02:35:28,110 --> 02:35:31,460
with the mayor's office, metro

3883
02:35:31,460 --> 02:35:32,147
legal expressed that this

3884
02:35:32,147 --> 02:35:33,648
amendment would not be

3885
02:35:33,648 --> 02:35:34,649
compliant with the charter

3886
02:35:34,649 --> 02:35:36,319
because it limits who the mayor

3887
02:35:36,319 --> 02:35:38,386
can hire into his office. You

3888
02:35:38,386 --> 02:35:39,722
can imagine ordinances saying

3889
02:35:39,722 --> 02:35:41,489
that for any position in the

3890
02:35:41,489 --> 02:35:42,857
mayor's office, that the

3891
02:35:42,857 --> 02:35:44,326
council gets to pick two

3892
02:35:44,326 --> 02:35:45,860
finalists or that sort of thing.

3893
02:35:45,860 --> 02:35:47,562
So you can see the natural

3894
02:35:47,562 --> 02:35:49,764
outcome of it all. That said,

3895
02:35:49,764 --> 02:35:51,233
the mayor has committed to

3896
02:35:51,233 --> 02:35:52,601
hiring a commission

3897
02:35:52,601 --> 02:35:54,370
recommendation if this

3898
02:35:54,370 --> 02:35:56,339
legislation passes this file.

3899
02:35:56,339 --> 02:35:57,339
So thank you for your support.

3900
02:35:57,339 --> 02:35:57,439
Thank you, council member.

3901
02:35:57,439 --> 02:35:59,439
all

3902
02:35:59,874 --> 02:36:00,176
right, MISS, back to you.

3903
02:36:00,176 --> 02:36:02,176
Yes.

3904
02:36:03,813 --> 02:36:07,413
And so I'm rising in opposition

3905
02:36:07,817 --> 02:36:09,150
to the amendment and just hope

3906
02:36:09,150 --> 02:36:09,918
that my colleagues will also

3907
02:36:09,918 --> 02:36:11,918
join.

3908
02:36:13,122 --> 02:36:16,122
All right. Next in the

3909
02:36:17,459 --> 02:36:20,695
queue on the motion to amend

3910
02:36:20,695 --> 02:36:23,950
specifically is next, MR.

3911
02:36:24,300 --> 02:36:24,667
Horton. Go ahead, sir.

3912
02:36:24,667 --> 02:36:25,934
Council

3913
02:36:25,934 --> 02:36:27,503
member asked all the questions.

3914
02:36:27,503 --> 02:36:27,869
I was going to thank you.

3915
02:36:27,869 --> 02:36:29,538
Okay.

3916
02:36:29,538 --> 02:36:31,140
Is there anyone else in the

3917
02:36:31,140 --> 02:36:34,140
queue seeking to be recognized

3918
02:36:36,479 --> 02:36:38,681
on the motion to amend? Okay.

3919
02:36:38,681 --> 02:36:42,281
Seeing none, let's go to the

3920
02:36:42,618 --> 02:36:45,921
vote on the motion to amend. We

3921
02:36:45,921 --> 02:36:47,690
will try it first by voice. If

3922
02:36:47,690 --> 02:36:50,191
I cannot tell, we will go to

3923
02:36:50,191 --> 02:36:53,428
the boards. So again number not

3924
02:36:53,428 --> 02:36:57,280
volume. All in favor of the

3925
02:36:58,133 --> 02:36:59,334
motion to amend please say I.

3926
02:36:59,334 --> 02:37:02,334
Against the motion to amend.

3927
02:37:03,940 --> 02:37:06,742
Please say no. Okay. The nos

3928
02:37:06,742 --> 02:37:09,979
have it. The motion to amend

3929
02:37:09,979 --> 02:37:13,579
has failed. And so we continue

3930
02:37:13,616 --> 02:37:15,351
on discussion on the motion to

3931
02:37:15,351 --> 02:37:17,253
approve. Next in the queue for

3932
02:37:17,253 --> 02:37:18,721
that discussion is MISS

3933
02:37:18,721 --> 02:37:20,289
Benedict. You are recognized.

3934
02:37:20,289 --> 02:37:20,690
Thank you, MADAM Vice mayor. I

3935
02:37:20,690 --> 02:37:22,690
call the question.

3936
02:37:22,991 --> 02:37:24,826
Okay,

3937
02:37:24,826 --> 02:37:25,861
council member benedict has

3938
02:37:25,861 --> 02:37:28,396
called the question. Was there

3939
02:37:28,396 --> 02:37:29,980
a second? Okay. This is a

3940
02:37:29,980 --> 02:37:30,533
non-debatable motion that

3941
02:37:30,533 --> 02:37:33,533
requires two thirds of those

3942
02:37:34,470 --> 02:37:36,370
voting. If you want to end

3943
02:37:36,370 --> 02:37:39,174
debate, you would vote in favor

3944
02:37:39,174 --> 02:37:41,376
of the previous question by

3945
02:37:41,376 --> 02:37:42,812
saying I or yes, if you want

3946
02:37:42,812 --> 02:37:45,812
debate to continue on the

3947
02:37:45,982 --> 02:37:48,382
motion to approve this

3948
02:37:48,517 --> 02:37:51,517
ordinance on its second reading,

3949
02:37:51,920 --> 02:37:53,322
you would vote no. Okay. Would.

3950
02:37:53,322 --> 02:37:56,920
All in favor the previous

02:37:56,920 --> 02:37:59,920

02:39:18,875 --> 02:39:20,310

Thank you very

02:39:27,517 --> 02:39:28,751
much. Committee reports please.

3979
02:39:28,751 --> 02:39:30,386
Okay. For the report of the

3981
02:39:32,321 --> 02:39:34,230
entertainment committee chair.

3982
02:39:34,230 --> 02:39:36,592
Thank you, vice mayor. The

3983
02:39:36,592 --> 02:39:38,992
committee voted to indefinitely%

3984
02:39:41,598 --> 02:39:43,767
defer bl 2026-14327 in favor,

3985
02:39:43,767 --> 02:39:47,367
one against and one non voting.

3986
02:39:47,738 --> 02:39:49,907
And according to 8.2 because it

3987
02:39:49,907 --> 02:39:51,400
was the indefinite deferral was

3988
02:39:51,400 --> 02:39:54,243
voted by two thirds of the

3989
02:39:54,243 --> 02:39:54,978

3990
02:39:54,978 --> 02:39:56,978
indefinitely deferred without

3991
02:39:57,481 --> 02:39:59,481
debate or discussion.

3992
02:40:00,160 --> 02:40:03,160
Understood. That said, I do

3993
02:40:03,219 --> 02:40:04,588
have to go back to the sponsor

3994
02:40:04,588 --> 02:40:06,823
because also an option to her

3995
02:40:06,823 --> 02:40:08,658
is to withdraw. And so the

3996
02:40:08,658 --> 02:40:09,693
sponsor has been recognized for

3997
02:40:09,693 --> 02:40:11,128
purposes of requesting their

3998
02:40:11,128 --> 02:40:12,528
committee reports. You have

3999
02:40:12,528 --> 02:40:14,697
provided it. I appreciate you

4000
02:40:14,697 --> 02:40:17,970
clarifying the indefinite defer

4001
02:40:18,869 --> 02:40:21,572
with 2.3. And so, MISS Styles,

4002
02:40:21,572 --> 02:40:23,739
I'm going to go back to you.

4003
02:40:23,739 --> 02:40:26,543
Your only option at this

4004
02:40:26,543 --> 02:40:28,744
juncture is a withdrawal. And

4005
02:40:28,744 --> 02:40:30,213
if you were to speak towards a

4006
02:40:30,213 --> 02:40:32,415
withdrawal, it needs to be very

4007
02:40:32,415 --> 02:40:34,184
brief on the reasoning or the

4008
02:40:34,184 --> 02:40:37,184
nature of the withdrawal. Okay,

4009
02:40:38,354 --> 02:40:40,624
if that is your choice, but if

4010
02:40:40,624 --> 02:40:41,724
it is anything other thanthat,

4011
02:40:41,724 --> 02:40:43,459
there is no discussion. Okay.

4012
02:40:43,459 --> 02:40:45,361
So that.

4013
02:40:45,361 --> 02:40:47,361
Indefinite deferral.

4014
02:41:01,511 --> 02:41:03,511

Okay.

4125
02:44:29,820 --> 02:44:31,656
Properly moved and seconded, we

4126
02:44:31,656 --> 02:44:33,900
are on to discussion. First in

4127
02:44:33,900 --> 02:44:35,226
the queue is council member

4128
02:44:35,226 --> 02:44:36,527
parker. You're recognized, ir.

4129
02:44:36,527 --> 02:44:38,229
Thank you, vice mayor. I would

4130
02:44:38,229 --> 02:44:38,329
like to move the amendment.

4131
02:44:38,329 --> 02:44:39,631
All

4132
02:44:39,631 --> 02:44:41,299
right. It's properly seconded.

4133
02:44:41,299 --> 02:44:42,670
Go ahead. Sir, we're on a

4134
02:44:42,670 --> 02:44:42,532
motion to amend.

4135
02:44:42,532 --> 02:44:44,334
Thank you. So

4136
02:44:44,334 --> 02:44:45,336
we had a lot of great

4137
02:44:45,336 --> 02:44:46,470
discussion in committee about

4138
02:44:46,470 --> 02:44:48,338
this amendment. So I'll try to

4139
02:44:48,338 --> 02:44:49,940
summarize that in the amount of

4140
02:44:49,940 --> 02:44:51,477
time that I have here.

4141
02:44:51,477 --> 02:44:52,877
Essentially this this amendment,

4142
02:44:52,877 --> 02:44:55,746
the main driver of it coming to

4143
02:44:55,746 --> 02:44:56,980
us is the shift from the five

4144
02:44:56,980 --> 02:44:59,149
day pickup schedule to the four

4145
02:44:59,149 --> 02:45:00,485
day pickup schedule. And it was

4146
02:45:00,485 --> 02:45:02,953
a request, my understanding, it

4147
02:45:02,953 --> 02:45:04,789
was a request of the the

4148
02:45:04,789 --> 02:45:06,256
contractor waste management to

4149
02:45:06,256 --> 02:45:08,693
also extend the contract by an

4150
02:45:08,693 --> 02:45:11,693
additional five years and a

4151
02:45:11,995 --> 02:45:14,395
additional $60 million in scope.

4152
02:45:14,832 --> 02:45:17,402
You know, that's a pretty

4153
02:45:17,402 --> 02:45:19,469
that's a pretty extensive

4154
02:45:19,469 --> 02:45:21,139
extension there. And if you

4155
02:45:21,139 --> 02:45:24,139
think about when we first

4156
02:45:24,275 --> 02:45:26,711
signed this contract, we had

4157
02:45:26,711 --> 02:45:27,845
just moved the solid waste

4158
02:45:27,845 --> 02:45:29,647
function out of public works.

4159
02:45:29,647 --> 02:45:31,783
It was temporarily housed at

4160
02:45:31,783 --> 02:45:32,950
metro water services, who did a

4161
02:45:32,950 --> 02:45:34,520
phenomenal job handling it

4162
02:45:34,520 --> 02:45:35,353
through some really difficult

4163
02:45:35,353 --> 02:45:38,155
times. We had the failure of

4164
02:45:38,155 --> 02:45:39,991
one of our major haulers, and

4165
02:45:39,991 --> 02:45:41,590
they managed to to kind of keep

4166
02:45:41,590 --> 02:45:42,260
the wheels rolling there. So

4167
02:45:42,260 --> 02:45:44,662
huge thanks to metro water for

4168
02:45:44,662 --> 02:45:45,563
that, that incredible work. But

4169
02:45:45,563 --> 02:45:47,632
but, you know, we're not in

4170
02:45:47,632 --> 02:45:48,800
that situation anymore. We're

4171
02:45:48,800 --> 02:45:50,234
not in a situation where we

4172
02:45:50,234 --> 02:45:52,300
have contractors failing left

4173
02:45:52,300 --> 02:45:53,671
and right. We're in a situation

4174
02:45:53,671 --> 02:45:55,540
where we've established a

4175
02:45:55,540 --> 02:45:57,540
professional, dedicated

4176
02:45:57,675 --> 02:46:00,144
department of solid waste. And

4177
02:46:00,144 --> 02:46:01,647
I think like with the sort of

4178
02:46:01,647 --> 02:46:03,647
parallel contract another

4179
02:46:03,881 --> 02:46:05,984
major hauler waste pro, I think

4180
02:46:05,984 --> 02:46:07,752
that this contract should go

4181
02:46:07,752 --> 02:46:09,220
out to bid rather than be

4182
02:46:09,220 --> 02:46:11,620
extended by amendment five

4183
02:46:12,191 --> 02:46:13,325
years and $60 million. I think

4184
02:46:13,325 --> 02:46:15,660
that's the most appropriate

4185
02:46:15,660 --> 02:46:17,496
thing to let our new solid

4186
02:46:17,496 --> 02:46:19,297
waste department, the director,

4187
02:46:19,297 --> 02:46:21,990
the professional staff that we

4188
02:46:21,990 --> 02:46:22,201
have, work with metro

4189
02:46:22,201 --> 02:46:24,702
procurement to make sure that

4190
02:46:24,702 --> 02:46:26,104
we get the best contract for

4191
02:46:26,104 --> 02:46:27,740
taxpayers that we can and not

4192
02:46:27,740 --> 02:46:28,740
extend this by five years. So

4193
02:46:28,740 --> 02:46:30,800
essentially, what we're doing

4194
02:46:30,800 --> 02:46:31,510
here, we're enacting the other

4195
02:46:31,510 --> 02:46:32,243
necessary parts of the contract

4196
02:46:32,243 --> 02:46:33,879
amendment. But what we'd be

4197
02:46:33,879 --> 02:46:35,179
doing is removing the sections

4198
02:46:35,179 --> 02:46:37,215
that extend it by five years

4199
02:46:37,215 --> 02:46:39,484
and add $60 million to the

4200
02:46:39,484 --> 02:46:40,585
contract total. So I would ask

4201
02:46:40,585 --> 02:46:42,253
colleagues to please support

4202
02:46:42,253 --> 02:46:43,422
this amendment, and we'll get

4203
02:46:43,422 --> 02:46:45,257
this out to bid, and we'll get

4204
02:46:45,257 --> 02:46:45,357
a new contract next year.

4205
02:46:45,357 --> 02:46:46,725
All

4206
02:46:46,725 --> 02:46:48,293
right. Thank you for the

4207
02:46:48,293 --> 02:46:50,996
explanation. All right. We are

4208
02:46:50,996 --> 02:46:51,996
on a motion to amend with MR.

4209
02:46:51,996 --> 02:46:52,998
Parker's amendment, and we're

4210
02:46:52,998 --> 02:46:53,698
on to discussion. Council

4211
02:46:53,698 --> 02:46:54,800
member porterfield, you're

4212
02:46:54,800 --> 02:46:54,966
recognized.

4213
02:46:54,966 --> 02:46:56,235
Thanks.

4214
02:46:56,235 --> 02:46:57,970
Vice mayor.

4215
02:46:57,970 --> 02:46:58,970
I got in the queue in case the

4216
02:46:58,970 --> 02:47:00,772
council member needed extra

4217
02:47:00,772 --> 02:47:01,974
time. Seeing as though he dos

4218
02:47:01,974 --> 02:47:03,976
not need any. I will just say

4219
02:47:03,976 --> 02:47:06,277
that I am rising in support and

4220
02:47:06,277 --> 02:47:07,246
thankful that he brought this

4221
02:47:07,246 --> 02:47:08,847
council member gadd,

4222
02:47:08,847 --> 02:47:09,914
you're recognized.

4223
02:47:09,914 --> 02:47:11,914
Thank you so

4224
02:47:12,116 --> 02:47:13,484
much, MADAM Speaker. I also

4225
02:47:13,484 --> 02:47:14,986
rise in support of this

4226
02:47:14,986 --> 02:47:17,386
amendment. And specifically, I

4227
02:47:17,890 --> 02:47:20,426
want to recognize and thank the.

4228
02:47:20,426 --> 02:47:22,460
The new director over at our

4229
02:47:22,460 --> 02:47:23,596
our our new department of waste

4230
02:47:23,596 --> 02:47:25,531
services, the amount of work

4231
02:47:25,531 --> 02:47:28,467
that she has done in order to

4232
02:47:28,467 --> 02:47:30,336
try to get waste management to

4233
02:47:30,336 --> 02:47:33,638
the table, who has been robbing

4234
02:47:33,638 --> 02:47:35,106
the city for generations of

4235
02:47:35,106 --> 02:47:37,106
resources, and they're

4236
02:47:37,208 --> 02:47:39,208
incredibly poor performance.

4237
02:47:39,411 --> 02:47:40,746
And they're they don't even.

4238
02:47:40,746 --> 02:47:42,648
There's so many things that

4239
02:47:42,648 --> 02:47:44,816
have been uncovered during her

4240
02:47:44,816 --> 02:47:46,919
push back on this company. So

4241
02:47:46,919 --> 02:47:49,187
while I applaud where they've

4242
02:47:49,187 --> 02:47:51,223
been able to get this contract

4243
02:47:51,223 --> 02:47:53,623
from an incredibly unwilling

4244
02:47:54,158 --> 02:47:56,361
and angry provider who wants to

4245
02:47:56,361 --> 02:47:59,361
who tries to monopolize this,

4246
02:47:59,631 --> 02:48:02,670
this, this area of services, I

4247
02:48:02,670 --> 02:48:04,203
do rise in complete support of

4248
02:48:04,203 --> 02:48:05,938
council member parker and this

4249
02:48:05,938 --> 02:48:08,338
amendment, and hopefully that

4250
02:48:09,241 --> 02:48:12,211
will also demonstrate that we

4251
02:48:12,211 --> 02:48:13,711
expect more. So while I'm very

4252
02:48:13,711 --> 02:48:15,800

02:53:20,819 --> 02:53:23,522
increment at 75%. And it gave

4440
02:53:23,522 --> 02:53:25,358
me a the ability to change that

4441
02:53:25,358 --> 02:53:27,159
75% if they needed to based on

4442
02:53:27,159 --> 02:53:29,462
written criteria that they

4443
02:53:29,462 --> 02:53:30,931
developed. And so that's what's

4444
02:53:30,931 --> 02:53:32,197
in this amendment for all, all,

4445
02:53:32,197 --> 02:53:34,990
all of these different

4446
02:53:34,990 --> 02:53:35,168
development districts. What my

4447
02:53:35,168 --> 02:53:36,670
amendment would do is just

4448
02:53:36,670 --> 02:53:38,905
simply to add notification if m,

4449
02:53:38,905 --> 02:53:40,607
d, h a chooses to do that, that

4450
02:53:40,607 --> 02:53:41,540
the council would get written

4451
02:53:41,540 --> 02:53:43,940
notification that that has

4452
02:53:44,770 --> 02:53:46,477
happened. Because otherwise we,

4453
02:53:46,980 --> 02:53:48,480
we have no way to know that

4454
02:53:48,480 --> 02:53:49,181
projects that are worthy

4455
02:53:49,181 --> 02:53:51,181
projects and infrastructure

4456
02:53:52,385 --> 02:53:54,220
that needs to happen is, is

4457
02:53:54,220 --> 02:53:55,522
using up every bit of the new

4458
02:53:55,522 --> 02:53:56,690
property taxes. And none of

4459
02:53:56,690 --> 02:53:57,824
that is available for schools.

4460
02:53:57,824 --> 02:53:59,659
And that was the whole reason

4461
02:53:59,659 --> 02:54:01,394
that whole process was done in

4462
02:54:01,394 --> 02:54:02,494
the first place. So not, not

4463
02:54:02,494 --> 02:54:03,830
decreasing their ability to

4464
02:54:03,830 --> 02:54:05,398
make that change at all, but

4465
02:54:05,398 --> 02:54:06,465
just asking that we get written

4466
02:54:06,465 --> 02:54:07,834
notification when that change

4467
02:54:07,834 --> 02:54:08,670
happens. So I would ask for

4468
02:54:08,670 --> 02:54:10,300
support.

4469
02:54:10,300 --> 02:54:11,770
All right. There is a

4470
02:54:11,770 --> 02:54:13,640
motion to amend properly

4471
02:54:13,640 --> 02:54:15,174
seconded. You have heard a

4472
02:54:15,174 --> 02:54:17,577
description of the amendment by

4473
02:54:17,577 --> 02:54:18,778
its sponsor, MISS Allen. Is

4474
02:54:18,778 --> 02:54:21,778
there any discussion on the

4475
02:54:22,150 --> 02:54:24,551
motion to amend seeing none.

4476
02:54:24,551 --> 02:54:26,586
All in favor. Oh MISS Kimbro,

4477
02:54:26,586 --> 02:54:27,554
go ahead ma'am.

4478
02:54:27,554 --> 02:54:28,788
Thank you, vice

4479
02:54:28,788 --> 02:54:32,988
mayor. I just want to say on

4480
02:54:33,920 --> 02:54:34,128
this I'm going to abstain. I

4481
02:54:34,128 --> 02:54:35,795
ask that they remove my name

4482
02:54:35,795 --> 02:54:37,765
because I never put my name on

4483
02:54:37,765 --> 02:54:39,699
there. But one of the reasons I

4484
02:54:39,699 --> 02:54:42,402
am going to abstain is because

4485
02:54:42,402 --> 02:54:43,737
my community gets concerned.

4486
02:54:43,737 --> 02:54:46,406
And they want to know more

4487
02:54:46,406 --> 02:54:46,479
about tiff and the mdha project

4488
02:54:46,479 --> 02:54:48,479
-

4489
02:54:48,708 --> 02:54:50,310
and mdha has agreed to come to

4490
02:54:50,310 --> 02:54:52,178
our next meeting, which will be

4491
02:54:52,178 --> 02:54:53,980
tuesday. And this might just be

4492
02:54:53,980 --> 02:54:56,490
great, but I just wanted he

4493
02:54:56,490 --> 02:54:59,490
community to hear from mdha

4494
02:55:00,388 --> 02:55:02,222
before I, you know, showed my

4495
02:55:02,222 --> 02:55:03,691
support for the bill. So I'm

4496
02:55:03,691 --> 02:55:03,990
going to abstain for those

4497
02:55:03,990 --> 02:55:05,250
reasons.

4498
02:55:05,250 --> 02:55:06,693
Okay. On both the

4499
02:55:06,693 --> 02:55:08,695
motion to amend and the motion

4500
02:55:08,695 --> 02:55:09,620
to approve as amended.

4501
02:55:09,620 --> 02:55:11,620
yes.

4502
02:55:11,698 --> 02:55:13,340
Okay. Thank you. All right. Is

4503
02:55:13,340 --> 02:55:15,568
there any further discussion on

4504
02:55:15,568 --> 02:55:16,971
the motion to amend? Seeing

4505
02:55:16,971 --> 02:55:19,106

4506
02:55:19,106 --> 02:55:21,708
amendment, please say aye. Any

4507
02:55:21,708 --> 02:55:23,444

02:55:34,754 --> 02:55:36,289

you seek to renew your motion

4515

4625
02:58:55,156 --> 02:58:56,591
All right. There is a motion to

4626
02:58:56,591 --> 02:58:59,527
approve on second or third

4627
02:58:59,527 --> 02:59:02,430
reading. There is a very deep

4628
02:59:02,430 --> 02:59:04,498
queue here. MISS Benedict, you

4629
02:59:04,498 --> 02:59:04,932
are at the top of it. You're

4630
02:59:04,932 --> 02:59:05,933
recognized.

4631
02:59:05,933 --> 02:59:07,767
Thank you, MADAM

4632
02:59:07,767 --> 02:59:08,350
Vice mayor. I move to call the

4633
02:59:08,350 --> 02:59:10,350
question.

4634
02:59:11,339 --> 02:59:13,339
Okay. The question

4635
02:59:15,344 --> 02:59:16,577
has been called. This is a non

4636
02:59:16,577 --> 02:59:17,845
debate. It's has been seconded.

4637
02:59:17,845 --> 02:59:20,348
This is a non-debatable motion.

4638
02:59:20,348 --> 02:59:23,948
It requires two thirds of those

4639
02:59:24,685 --> 02:59:27,555
voting. If you wish to end

4640
02:59:27,555 --> 02:59:30,591
debate on this bill, you would

4641
02:59:30,591 --> 02:59:33,361
vote I. If you wish to continue

4642
02:59:33,361 --> 02:59:35,496
with the debate, you would vote

4643
02:59:35,496 --> 02:59:37,632
no. We will try it first by

4644
02:59:37,632 --> 02:59:39,533
voice. If I cannot determine

4645
02:59:39,533 --> 02:59:41,969
the two thirds, we will move to

4646
02:59:41,969 --> 02:59:43,571
the machine. All in favor of

4647
02:59:43,571 --> 02:59:45,971
the previous question, please

4648
02:59:48,110 --> 02:59:48,342
say I. I those voting no please

4649
02:59:48,342 --> 02:59:50,342
say no.

4650
02:59:51,345 --> 02:59:52,780
No.

4651
02:59:52,780 --> 02:59:55,180
i believe the ayes

4652
03:00:01,550 --> 03:00:04,625
have it. So. This has passed

4653
03:00:04,625 --> 03:00:06,527
its second. Oh, I'm so sorry.

4654
03:00:06,527 --> 03:00:08,263
Okay, I apologize. That was

4655
03:00:08,263 --> 03:00:10,698
kind of surprising to me

4656
03:00:10,698 --> 03:00:14,298
because this is a major matter

4657
03:00:14,602 --> 03:00:18,202
and we're not going to have

4658
03:00:19,774 --> 03:00:23,345
debate. Okay. Okay. There is a

4659
03:00:23,345 --> 03:00:26,945
second for putting the vote of

4660
03:00:28,820 --> 03:00:30,252
the. Calling the question to a

4661
03:00:30,252 --> 03:00:33,252
roll call. Is that correct?

4662
03:00:36,724 --> 03:00:39,724
Okay. All right. Sorry, folks.

4663
03:00:40,328 --> 03:00:41,697
So we called the vote. We were

4664
03:00:41,697 --> 03:00:43,865
moving subsequent. There has

4665
03:00:43,865 --> 03:00:45,301
been a request. It has for roll

4666
03:00:45,301 --> 03:00:48,690
call. It requires how many

4667
03:00:48,690 --> 03:00:49,271
seconds? It requires three

4668
03:00:49,271 --> 03:00:51,271
seconds.

4669
03:00:52,908 --> 03:00:54,908
Okay, okay.

4670
03:00:56,780 --> 03:00:58,780
So. MR.

4671
03:01:01,182 --> 03:01:02,284
MR. Clark, can you load the

4672
03:01:02,284 --> 03:01:05,284
vote for the previous question,

4673
03:01:18,633 --> 03:01:20,633
please, sir?

4674
03:01:43,524 --> 03:01:44,359
Okay.

4675
03:01:44,359 --> 03:01:45,794
With all

4676
03:01:45,794 --> 03:01:48,794
votes in, MR. Clark, please

4677
03:01:50,532 --> 03:01:52,600
show the vote. Okay. The motion

4678
03:01:52,600 --> 03:01:54,335
to call the previous question

4679
03:01:54,335 --> 03:01:56,203
requires two thirds of those

4680
03:01:56,203 --> 03:01:58,740
voting in the affirmative. Thus,

4681
03:01:58,740 --> 03:02:01,740
the motion has failed with 20

4682
03:02:03,744 --> 03:02:05,880
votes. Yes. And 15 votes? No.

4683
03:02:05,880 --> 03:02:08,880
Which means we will continue

4684
03:02:09,517 --> 03:02:12,517
with discussion on the motion

4685
03:02:13,487 --> 03:02:15,230
to approve on second reading.

4686
03:02:15,230 --> 03:02:17,893
MISS Benedict, you have already

4687
03:02:17,893 --> 03:02:19,261
been recognized, MR. Clark. I

4688
03:02:19,261 --> 03:02:20,361
think that needs to be cleared

4689
03:02:20,361 --> 03:02:22,864
from the queue. Next in the

4690
03:02:22,864 --> 03:02:24,666
queue is MISS Evan siegel.

4691
03:02:24,666 --> 03:02:27,535
Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT. I

4692
03:02:27,535 --> 03:02:29,771
would ask if the sponsor who

4693
03:02:29,771 --> 03:02:31,806
moved to approve would consider

4694
03:02:31,806 --> 03:02:33,700
amending her motion to move to

4695
03:02:33,700 --> 03:02:34,843
approve with a re referral back

4696
03:02:34,843 --> 03:02:36,245
to committee. I have some open

4697
03:02:36,245 --> 03:02:37,613
questions to finance. I got

4698
03:02:37,613 --> 03:02:38,980
pretty short answers to those

4699
03:02:38,980 --> 03:02:40,182
questions, and I think it would

4700
03:02:40,182 --> 03:02:41,820
be helpful to talk about them

4701
03:02:41,820 --> 03:02:42,170
in committee.

4702
03:02:42,170 --> 03:02:43,252
Okay, so MR.

4703
03:02:43,252 --> 03:02:43,485
Horton is the primary sponsor

4704
03:02:43,485 --> 03:02:44,920
and.

4705
03:02:44,920 --> 03:02:46,722
MR. Horton, I apologize.

4706
03:02:46,722 --> 03:02:48,156
I'm so used to budget matters.

4707
03:02:48,156 --> 03:02:49,157
That's fine.

4708
03:02:49,157 --> 03:02:50,959
So there is a

4709
03:02:50,959 --> 03:02:53,461
request by MISS Evan siegel

4710
03:02:53,461 --> 03:02:56,310
about your willingness to amend

4711
03:02:56,310 --> 03:02:59,568
your motion to approve with a

4712
03:02:59,568 --> 03:02:59,935
re referral to committee.

4713
03:02:59,935 --> 03:03:01,771
Budget.

4714
03:03:01,771 --> 03:03:02,400
Finance to budget and

4715
03:03:02,400 --> 03:03:02,937
finance.

4716
03:03:02,937 --> 03:03:05,390
No objection to that.

4717
03:03:05,390 --> 03:03:06,975
I would happy to amend. Can I

4718
03:03:06,975 --> 03:03:09,430
do that now? You MAY. I'd like

4719
03:03:09,430 --> 03:03:10,378
to move to move to amend my

4720
03:03:10,378 --> 03:03:12,481
motion to approve to a motion

4721
03:03:12,481 --> 03:03:13,247
to approve the re referral to

4722
03:03:13,247 --> 03:03:14,160
budget and finance.

4723
03:03:14,160 --> 03:03:15,817
Okay. There

4724
03:03:15,817 --> 03:03:18,287
is a motion to approve on

4725
03:03:18,287 --> 03:03:20,522
second reading with a re

4726
03:03:20,522 --> 03:03:22,623
referral to the budget and

4727
03:03:22,623 --> 03:03:25,230
finance committee. Is it

4728
03:03:25,192 --> 03:03:27,592
seconded. Okay. And so

4729
03:03:27,663 --> 03:03:29,131
discussion continues on that.

4730
03:03:29,131 --> 03:03:30,966
Is there anything that you

4731
03:03:30,966 --> 03:03:33,340
wanted to say with the rest of

4732
03:03:33,340 --> 03:03:35,971
your time? Seven siegel nope.

4733
03:03:35,971 --> 03:03:38,106
Okay. So there is a motion to

4734
03:03:38,106 --> 03:03:41,900
approve with a re referral to

4735
03:03:41,900 --> 03:03:42,144
budget and finance. It was discussion

4736
03:03:42,144 --> 03:03:43,912
continues. Council member

4737
03:03:43,912 --> 03:03:44,279
johnston, you're recognized.

4738
03:03:44,279 --> 03:03:45,981
Thank you.

4739
03:03:45,981 --> 03:03:47,449
I appreciate the re

4740
03:03:47,449 --> 03:03:48,182
referral back.

4741
03:03:48,182 --> 03:03:50,582
You know this is

4742
03:03:50,651 --> 03:03:51,686
a significant piece of

4743
03:03:51,686 --> 03:03:54,860
legislation. It's probably one

4744
03:03:54,289 --> 03:03:56,825
of the more bold moves that

4745
03:03:56,825 --> 03:03:59,327
I've seen in my seven years for

4746
03:03:59,327 --> 03:04:02,927
sure. And so to have no

4747
03:04:04,366 --> 03:04:06,168
discussion I thought was. Not

4748
03:04:06,168 --> 03:04:07,603
responsible. And I get there's

4749
03:04:07,603 --> 03:04:09,104
risks of this, that and the

4750
03:04:09,104 --> 03:04:09,937
other. But we are the

4751
03:04:09,937 --> 03:04:11,572
legislative body and I think it

4752
03:04:11,572 --> 03:04:12,808
is worth this, orth the

4753
03:04:12,808 --> 03:04:14,610
discussion. And so I'm happy to

4754
03:04:14,610 --> 03:04:16,411
do that in committee. And so I

4755
03:04:16,411 --> 03:04:18,846
will I will hold my comments

4756
03:04:18,846 --> 03:04:20,215
and concerns. I would like to

4757
03:04:20,215 --> 03:04:21,984
hear from our new legal

4758
03:04:21,984 --> 03:04:23,685
director, because this started

4759
03:04:23,685 --> 03:04:25,870
under a previous legal director

4760
03:04:25,870 --> 03:04:26,587
and is the new legal director

4761
03:04:26,587 --> 03:04:30,187
that should be that will be

4762
03:04:31,426 --> 03:04:32,861
carrying out whatever possible.

4763
03:04:32,861 --> 03:04:34,963
Condemnation efforts. And so I

4764
03:04:34,963 --> 03:04:36,531
would love to hear her, her

4765
03:04:36,531 --> 03:04:37,833
thought process on this. And

4766
03:04:37,833 --> 03:04:39,768
that can be done privately, I

4767
03:04:39,768 --> 03:04:40,902
don't mind, but I'm going to be

4768
03:04:40,902 --> 03:04:41,903
abstaining because I don't feel

4769
03:04:41,903 --> 03:04:43,839
comfortable because I don't

4770
03:04:43,839 --> 03:04:46,839
know, I don't feel comfortable

4771
03:04:46,841 --> 03:04:48,430
voting yes or no. And so I hate

4772
03:04:48,430 --> 03:04:49,244
abstaining, but that's the only

4773
03:04:49,244 --> 03:04:51,616
thing I feel comfortable doing.

4774
03:04:51,616 --> 03:04:53,715
And this is in my district, the

4775
03:04:53,715 --> 03:04:55,484
parcel that we're talking about,

4776
03:04:55,484 --> 03:04:57,286
it would have, you know, a

4777
03:04:57,286 --> 03:04:59,210
massive effect. And so my

4778
03:04:59,210 --> 03:05:01,230
concern is taxpayers liability,

4779
03:05:01,230 --> 03:05:02,624
quite frankly. And until I can

4780
03:05:02,624 --> 03:05:04,192
get to a comfort level to

4781
03:05:04,192 --> 03:05:05,560
support that, I appreciate

4782
03:05:05,560 --> 03:05:06,962
let's talk about, you know,

4783
03:05:06,962 --> 03:05:08,463
negotiation. I don't have a

4784
03:05:08,463 --> 03:05:10,165
problem with negotiation. Bold

4785
03:05:10,165 --> 03:05:11,433
move, eminent domain. So I just

4786
03:05:11,433 --> 03:05:12,501
want to have a comfort level

4787
03:05:12,501 --> 03:05:14,169
there that we're not putting

4788
03:05:14,169 --> 03:05:15,237
our taxpayers in, in a

4789
03:05:15,237 --> 03:05:16,405
situation of liability. So I

4790
03:05:16,405 --> 03:05:18,308
will be abstaining. Thank you.

4791
03:05:18,308 --> 03:05:19,309
All right. Next in the queue,

4792
03:05:19,309 --> 03:05:19,675
councilmember allen, you're

4793
03:05:19,675 --> 03:05:20,443
recognized.

4794
03:05:20,443 --> 03:05:21,376
Thank you, MADAM

4795
03:05:21,376 --> 03:05:22,512
PRESIDENT. I need to be

4796
03:05:22,512 --> 03:05:24,512
recorded as abstaining.

4797
03:05:25,800 --> 03:05:27,800
Okay.

4798
03:05:27,916 --> 03:05:30,119
MISS Styles, you are recognized

4799
03:05:30,119 --> 03:05:31,553
on motion to approve on second

4800
03:05:31,553 --> 03:05:31,853
reading. Go ahead.

4801
03:05:31,853 --> 03:05:33,355
thank you

4802
03:05:33,355 --> 03:05:36,892
very much, vice mayor. I think

4803
03:05:36,892 --> 03:05:38,393
this is irresponsible

4804
03:05:38,393 --> 03:05:40,162
legislation. I I'm definitely

4805
03:05:40,162 --> 03:05:41,997
voting no. I think this is a

4806
03:05:41,997 --> 03:05:43,398
guaranteed lawsuit. We have all

4807
03:05:43,398 --> 03:05:45,200
kinds of issues. I don't know

4808
03:05:45,200 --> 03:05:48,800
what you're saying to me, but.

4809
03:05:53,508 --> 03:05:54,943
Okay. Okay. You done? Okay. So

4810
03:05:54,943 --> 03:05:55,577
as I said, I think it's

4811
03:05:55,577 --> 03:05:57,577
irresponsible. We are

4812
03:05:59,816 --> 03:06:00,850
constantly talking about how we money, and I just

4813
03:06:00,850 --> 03:06:02,784
don't think, where are we going

4814
03:06:02,784 --> 03:06:04,686
to get this money from? Even if

4815
03:06:04,686 --> 03:06:05,854
it goes back to committee? I

4816
03:06:05,854 --> 03:06:07,656
don't think that we get a good

4817
03:06:07,656 --> 03:06:08,757
answer for this. This feels

4818
03:06:08,757 --> 03:06:09,892
like a knee jerk, feel good

4819
03:06:09,892 --> 03:06:11,627
reaction because everyone else

4820
03:06:11,627 --> 03:06:12,761
had a plan except the mayor's

4821
03:06:12,761 --> 03:06:13,996
office. And so now we just

4822
03:06:13,996 --> 03:06:15,797
throw out eminent domain. We

4823
03:06:15,797 --> 03:06:17,600
don't have a plan for what the

4824
03:06:17,600 --> 03:06:18,700
land would be for. It's just

4825
03:06:18,700 --> 03:06:19,868
nonsense. So everyone should

4826
03:06:19,868 --> 03:06:21,271
vote no.

4827
03:06:21,271 --> 03:06:21,437
All right.

4828
03:06:21,437 --> 03:06:23,172
Council

4829
03:06:23,172 --> 03:06:24,206
member spain, you're next in

4830
03:06:24,206 --> 03:06:24,339
the queue. Go ahead sir.

4831
03:06:24,339 --> 03:06:25,407
Thank

4832
03:06:25,407 --> 03:06:26,208
you, MADAM PRESIDENT. My

4833
03:06:26,208 --> 03:06:27,709
previous question.

4834
03:06:27,709 --> 03:06:28,411
Okay.

4835
03:06:28,411 --> 03:06:29,846
All

4836
03:06:29,846 --> 03:06:30,712
right. MR. Spain has called the

4837
03:06:30,712 --> 03:06:32,314
previous question. It's

4838
03:06:32,314 --> 03:06:33,416
properly seconded. This is a

4839
03:06:33,416 --> 03:06:35,251
non-debatable motion that

4840
03:06:35,251 --> 03:06:38,251
requires two thirds of those

4841
03:06:39,554 --> 03:06:40,657
voting.

4842
03:06:40,657 --> 03:06:42,425
Pardon.

4843
03:06:42,425 --> 03:06:43,892
Okay. MR.

4844
03:06:43,892 --> 03:06:45,694
Eslick has requested a roll

4845
03:06:45,694 --> 03:06:47,562
call vote for the previous

4846
03:06:47,562 --> 03:06:48,865
question. Are there three

4847
03:06:48,865 --> 03:06:50,865
seconds?

4848
03:06:51,767 --> 03:06:53,201
Second.

4849
03:06:53,201 --> 03:06:55,201
Okay, that is

4850
03:06:55,438 --> 03:06:57,874
three. So, MR. Clerk, if you

4851
03:06:57,874 --> 03:06:59,742
would please load the vote.

4852
03:06:59,742 --> 03:07:01,476
This is the previous question,

4853
03:07:01,476 --> 03:07:04,130
a yes vote for the previous

4854
03:07:04,130 --> 03:07:05,815
question ends debate. A no vote

4855
03:07:05,815 --> 03:07:08,815
means you want to continue

4856
03:07:10,285 --> 03:07:13,885
debate on this matter. This is

4857
03:07:27,360 --> 03:07:28,171
on the previous question. All

4858
03:07:28,171 --> 03:07:31,107
votes. And MR. Clerk, please

4859
03:07:31,107 --> 03:07:32,408
show the vote. Okay. The motion

4860
03:07:32,408 --> 03:07:33,909
has passed in the previous

4861
03:07:33,909 --> 03:07:36,112
question has been called with

4862
03:07:36,112 --> 03:07:37,846
32 votes in favor, three

4863
03:07:37,846 --> 03:07:39,682
against and one abstention,

4864
03:07:39,682 --> 03:07:41,751
which means that we will then

4865
03:07:41,751 --> 03:07:43,987
move to the vote knowing that

4866
03:07:43,987 --> 03:07:45,855
we have some noes and

4867
03:07:45,855 --> 03:07:48,255
abstentions, even though this

4868
03:07:49,359 --> 03:07:53,559
is on second, MR. Clerk, if you

4869
03:07:54,196 --> 03:07:57,330
would please load the vote for

4870
03:07:57,330 --> 03:08:00,330

4871
03:08:13,415 --> 03:08:15,415

4872
03:08:54,791 --> 03:08:55,857
MR.

03:08:55,857 --> 03:08:58,494
Benton, are you seeking to vote,

4874
03:08:58,494 --> 03:08:59,729
sir? All votes are in. MR.

4875
03:08:59,729 --> 03:09:02,332
Clerk, if you would please show

4876
03:09:02,332 --> 03:09:04,133
the vote. All right. This

4877
03:09:04,133 --> 03:09:06,835
motion to approve on second

4878
03:09:06,835 --> 03:09:09,235

4879
03:09:10,440 --> 03:09:13,208

03:09:16,780 --> 03:09:17,814
be by the motion re referred to

4882
03:09:17,814 --> 03:09:20,814

its third reading at next

4884
03:09:26,889 --> 03:09:29,570
meeting. Okay. That concludes

4885
03:09:29,570 --> 03:09:31,193
our items on second reading.

4886
03:09:31,193 --> 03:09:34,193
We're on to third reading

4887
03:09:35,832 --> 03:09:38,832
section. End of our agenda.

4888
03:09:39,350 --> 03:09:41,435

committee within the downtown

03:09:59,255 --> 03:09:59,956
are recognized.

4898
03:09:59,956 --> 03:10:01,157
Thank you, vice

03:10:01,157 --> 03:10:02,191
mayor. Can I have my committee

4900
03:10:02,191 --> 03:10:02,992

Thank you. Vice

mayor pnc considered the bill

4907
03:10:13,100 --> 03:10:15,504
and an amendment to. We voted

4908
03:10:15,504 --> 03:10:16,872
in favor of amendment two. Five

4909
03:10:16,872 --> 03:10:18,274
in favor, three against zero

4910
03:10:18,274 --> 03:10:20,309
not voting. Amendment one was

4911
03:10:20,309 --> 03:10:21,177
not considered. We considered

4912
03:10:21,177 --> 03:10:22,544
the bill, as amended by

4913
03:10:22,544 --> 03:10:24,790
amendment two eight in favor,

4914
03:10:24,790 --> 03:10:24,781
zero against zero not voting.

4915
03:10:24,781 --> 03:10:26,248
Okay.

4916
03:10:26,248 --> 03:10:27,917
Back to you for a motion

4917
03:10:27,917 --> 03:10:28,184
to get this before us, MISS

4918
03:10:28,184 --> 03:10:29,185
Benedict.

4919
03:10:29,185 --> 03:10:29,257
Move approval.

4920
03:10:29,257 --> 03:10:31,257
Is

4921
03:10:32,422 --> 03:10:35,658
there a second? Okay. You have

4922
03:10:35,658 --> 03:10:37,125
the floor still okay? MR. Cuban

4923
03:10:37,125 --> 03:10:37,392
is next in the queue. Go ahead,

4924
03:10:37,392 --> 03:10:38,528
sir.

4925
03:10:38,528 --> 03:10:40,229
Thank you, MADAM PRESIDENT.

4926
03:10:40,229 --> 03:10:41,163
And thank you to my colleague

4927
03:10:41,163 --> 03:10:43,660
for bringing this and working

4928
03:10:43,660 --> 03:10:44,201
hard to make sure the voices of

4929
03:10:44,201 --> 03:10:46,350
east nashville are represented

4930
03:10:46,350 --> 03:10:47,170
on the east bank drc. I did

4931
03:10:47,170 --> 03:10:49,339
have an amendment, and I would

4932
03:10:49,339 --> 03:10:50,740
like to move amendment two with

4933
03:10:50,740 --> 03:10:51,773
a brief comment.

4934
03:10:51,773 --> 03:10:52,909
Is there a

4935
03:10:52,909 --> 03:10:55,144
second for the motion to amend

4936
03:10:55,144 --> 03:10:56,145
with amendment two? Okay. Go

4937
03:10:56,145 --> 03:10:58,145
ahead, sir.

4938
03:10:58,681 --> 03:11:01,810
Thank you. And so

4939
03:11:01,451 --> 03:11:03,385
one of the seats that would be

4940
03:11:03,385 --> 03:11:05,255
on this drc replacing the urban

4941
03:11:05,255 --> 03:11:06,655
residents association seat,

4942
03:11:06,655 --> 03:11:09,925
would be from the imagine east

4943
03:11:09,925 --> 03:11:12,925
bank area. And in the

4944
03:11:14,129 --> 03:11:15,231
legislation, it had a kind of on it until 1000

4945
03:11:15,231 --> 03:11:16,966
residential units receive

4946
03:11:16,966 --> 03:11:18,768
certificates of occupancy. The

4947
03:11:18,768 --> 03:11:19,969
concern that I heard was about

4948
03:11:19,969 --> 03:11:22,380
quorum, making sure that people

4949
03:11:22,380 --> 03:11:25,800
can come to that meeting and in

4950
03:11:25,800 --> 03:11:26,100
a. And spoke to the the sponsor

4951
03:11:26,100 --> 03:11:27,176
at the committee meeting

4952
03:11:27,176 --> 03:11:29,780
yesterday, and she had asked if

4953
03:11:29,780 --> 03:11:30,947
I had anybody in mind for that

4954
03:11:30,947 --> 03:11:32,115
seat or if I knew, you know,

4955
03:11:32,115 --> 03:11:34,500
people over there. At the

4956
03:11:34,500 --> 03:11:36,190
time I said, well, you know, no,

4957
03:11:36,190 --> 03:11:37,153
just I just know that there are,

4958
03:11:37,153 --> 03:11:39,880
you know, 600 some odd people

4959
03:11:39,880 --> 03:11:40,223
over in that area. And an odd

4960
03:11:40,223 --> 03:11:41,391
twist of fate. Later that

4961
03:11:41,391 --> 03:11:43,159
evening, a constituent from the

4962
03:11:43,159 --> 03:11:45,280
oxbow reached out to me about a

4963
03:11:45,280 --> 03:11:46,195
greenway along the river. And I

4964
03:11:46,195 --> 03:11:47,997
said, hey, can we can I pick

4965
03:11:47,997 --> 03:11:48,965
your brain on something? And

4966
03:11:48,965 --> 03:11:50,166
asked about this legislation

4967
03:11:50,166 --> 03:11:52,135
and, you know, said, you know,

4968
03:11:52,135 --> 03:11:53,202
do you think that the people in

4969
03:11:53,202 --> 03:11:55,380
your building would care about

4970
03:11:55,380 --> 03:11:56,139
this? Would they want to sit on

4971
03:11:56,139 --> 03:11:58,700
something like this? Is it too

4972
03:11:58,700 --> 03:11:59,420
far away? Again, trying to

4973
03:11:59,420 --> 03:12:00,176
represent my constituents? And

4974
03:12:00,176 --> 03:12:02,110
he was very excited. He said

4975
03:12:02,110 --> 03:12:03,112
that he would actually love to

4976
03:12:03,112 --> 03:12:04,280
serve on potentially on this on

4977
03:12:04,280 --> 03:12:05,315
this seat. So there are

4978
03:12:05,315 --> 03:12:07,216
constituents there. There are

4979
03:12:07,216 --> 03:12:09,520
about 600, 6 or 700. There's a

4980
03:12:09,520 --> 03:12:11,550
lot more coming. So I don't see

4981
03:12:11,550 --> 03:12:12,155
the reason to wait for the 1000

4982
03:12:12,155 --> 03:12:13,256
person mark. I think we've got

4983
03:12:13,256 --> 03:12:15,158
multiple people that are ready,

4984
03:12:15,158 --> 03:12:16,260
ready to serve. I think that we

4985
03:12:16,260 --> 03:12:18,620
have projects coming down the

4986
03:12:18,620 --> 03:12:19,128
pipeline. It's a great idea to

4987
03:12:19,128 --> 03:12:21,300
have this committee, but I

4988
03:12:21,300 --> 03:12:22,231
would hate to wait any longer

4989
03:12:22,231 --> 03:12:24,134
to have a voice of someone that

4990
03:12:24,134 --> 03:12:25,340
lives in that area. On this

4991
03:12:25,340 --> 03:12:26,235
commission committee. Again, I

4992
03:12:26,235 --> 03:12:27,972
understand the quorum issues. I

4993
03:12:27,972 --> 03:12:29,105
don't think that'll be an issue,

4994
03:12:29,105 --> 03:12:30,173
given the conversation I had

4995
03:12:30,173 --> 03:12:32,800
with this individual today. So

4996
03:12:32,800 --> 03:12:32,642
I urge my colleagues to support

4997
03:12:32,642 --> 03:12:33,309
the amendment.

4998
03:12:33,309 --> 03:12:35,309
All right.

4999
03:12:35,812 --> 03:12:38,820
There's a motion to with

5000
03:12:38,820 --> 03:12:39,215

5001
03:12:39,215 --> 03:12:41,252
explanation of the amendment by

5002
03:12:41,252 --> 03:12:42,685
the sponsor. And so we are on

5003
03:12:42,685 --> 03:12:44,520
to discussion on the motion to

5004
03:12:44,520 --> 03:12:47,910
amend. Is anyone seeking to be

5005
03:12:47,910 --> 03:12:48,458
recognized on the amendment?

5006
03:12:48,458 --> 03:12:50,694

MR. Horton, I know this bill

cheat sheet on everyone's desk,

5050
03:14:24,530 --> 03:14:25,990

move for approval so that I may

Okay.

5103
03:15:53,110 --> 03:15:54,430
All right. So there's a

5104
03:15:54,430 --> 03:15:55,613
motion to approve. It's

5105
03:15:55,613 --> 03:15:57,114
properly seconded. The primary

5106
03:15:57,114 --> 03:15:59,183
sponsor still has the floor.

5107
03:15:59,183 --> 03:16:02,860
And in that time he has moved

5108
03:16:02,860 --> 03:16:03,587
an amendment one. So there is a

5109
03:16:03,587 --> 03:16:06,587
motion to amend with amendment

5110
03:16:06,791 --> 03:16:08,250
one. It is properly seconded.

5111
03:16:08,250 --> 03:16:08,959
Anything you want to say on the

5112
03:16:08,959 --> 03:16:09,827
amendment, sir.

5113
03:16:09,827 --> 03:16:10,761
This is a

5114
03:16:10,761 --> 03:16:11,427
housekeeping amendment and

5115
03:16:11,427 --> 03:16:11,895
corrects section numbers.

5116
03:16:11,895 --> 03:16:13,895
Okay.

5117
03:16:13,998 --> 03:16:15,799
Is there any discussion on

5118
03:16:15,799 --> 03:16:17,234
amendment one? Is anyone in the

5119
03:16:17,234 --> 03:16:20,234
queue seeking to be recognized

5120
03:16:20,838 --> 03:16:22,272
on amendment one? Folks, I

5121
03:16:22,272 --> 03:16:25,142
presume some of you who are in

5122
03:16:25,142 --> 03:16:26,710
the queue are there for

5123
03:16:26,710 --> 03:16:28,746
purposes of discussion. Once

5124
03:16:28,746 --> 03:16:31,470
the bill is amended relative to

5125
03:16:31,470 --> 03:16:33,450
its approval. So as someone

5126
03:16:33,450 --> 03:16:35,850
makes a motion to amend because

5127
03:16:35,850 --> 03:16:36,353
the queue is a little bit deep

5128
03:16:36,353 --> 03:16:38,187
here, I will just ask for a

5129
03:16:38,187 --> 03:16:39,223
show of hands if anyone wants

5130
03:16:39,223 --> 03:16:42,223
to speak specifically on that

5131
03:16:42,459 --> 03:16:43,626
amendment. Okay. So seeing no

5132
03:16:43,626 --> 03:16:45,996
one seeking to be recognized on

5133
03:16:45,996 --> 03:16:48,165
amendment one, is that correct?

5134
03:16:48,165 --> 03:16:50,502
Seeing no one. Okay. All in

5135
03:16:50,502 --> 03:16:53,502
favor of amendment one, please

5136
03:16:54,704 --> 03:16:56,839
say aye. Any voting? No. Any

5137
03:16:56,839 --> 03:16:57,908
abstaining? Okay. MR. Horton,

5138
03:16:57,908 --> 03:16:59,710
do you want to renew your

5139
03:16:59,710 --> 03:17:00,977
motion to approve, as amended.

5140
03:17:00,977 --> 03:17:01,979
To move for approval, as

5141
03:17:01,979 --> 03:17:02,245
amended, with amendment one,

5142
03:17:02,245 --> 03:17:03,714
please.

5143
03:17:03,714 --> 03:17:04,814
Okay. Are there any

5144
03:17:04,814 --> 03:17:06,717
other amendments that you would

5145
03:17:06,717 --> 03:17:07,651
like to offer at this time, sir?

5146
03:17:07,651 --> 03:17:08,170
No, ma'am.

5147
03:17:08,170 --> 03:17:09,420
Okay.

03:17:09,420 --> 03:17:11,420
All right.

5149
03:17:11,588 --> 03:17:14,491
Okay. So we continue on

5150
03:17:14,491 --> 03:17:15,893
discussion. First in the

5151
03:17:15,893 --> 03:17:18,196
miss benedict, do you seek to

5152
03:17:18,196 --> 03:17:20,596
be recognized? Okay. She's

5153
03:17:21,664 --> 03:17:24,201

03:18:00,271 --> 03:18:02,172
back to you don't have to stand.

5178
03:18:02,172 --> 03:18:03,974
But if you'll just nod that you

5179
03:18:03,974 --> 03:18:05,109
seek to like, continue to renew

5180
03:18:05,109 --> 03:18:06,110
your motion to approve, as

5181
03:18:06,110 --> 03:18:08,780
amended, we'll just roll

5182
03:18:08,780 --> 03:18:10,130
through. Okay. All right. So we

5183
03:18:10,130 --> 03:18:12,116
are continuing on the bill on

5184
03:18:12,116 --> 03:18:13,484
the motion to approve at

5185
03:18:13,484 --> 03:18:15,884
present, as amended, with

5186
03:18:16,887 --> 03:18:19,287
amendment one and amendment 15,

5187
03:18:19,890 --> 03:18:21,580
we continue. MISS Benedict, do

03:18:21,580 --> 03:18:22,226
you intend to offer any

5189
03:18:22,226 --> 03:18:24,662
amendments? You just want to

5190
03:18:24,662 --> 03:18:26,397
speak at the end. Okay. You MAY

5191
03:18:26,397 --> 03:18:28,265
you can. That's proper at this

5192
03:18:28,265 --> 03:18:29,767
time. Go ahead.

5193
03:18:29,767 --> 03:18:31,302
I want to speak.

5194
03:18:31,302 --> 03:18:33,638
At the end once everything is

5195
03:18:33,638 --> 03:18:35,540
amended. Okay. Next in the

5196
03:18:35,540 --> 03:18:37,940
queue is MISS Porterfield.

5197
03:18:38,777 --> 03:18:39,760
You're recognized.

5198
03:18:39,760 --> 03:18:41,760
Thank you,

5199
03:18:41,278 --> 03:18:44,214
vice mayor. I would like to

5200
03:18:44,214 --> 03:18:44,482
move amendment number six.

5201
03:18:44,482 --> 03:18:46,482
okay.

5202
03:18:46,617 --> 03:18:48,860
There is motion to amend with

5203
03:18:48,860 --> 03:18:49,486
amendment six. It's properly

5204
03:18:49,486 --> 03:18:50,588
seconded. Anything you want to

5205
03:18:50,588 --> 03:18:50,955
share about amendment six,

5206
03:18:50,955 --> 03:18:52,356
ma'am?

5207
03:18:52,356 --> 03:18:54,356
Yes. Vice mayor,

5208
03:18:54,859 --> 03:18:57,859
amendment six would require a

5209
03:18:57,928 --> 03:19:00,300
public notice for data centers

5210
03:19:00,300 --> 03:19:01,699
for both small and medium sized

5211
03:19:01,699 --> 03:19:04,990
data centers. This public

5212
03:19:05,369 --> 03:19:08,205
notice will be mailed out to

5213
03:19:08,205 --> 03:19:10,808
properties within 1000ft of the

5214
03:19:10,808 --> 03:19:12,176
subject property, no more than

5215
03:19:12,176 --> 03:19:13,678
21 days following the

5216
03:19:13,678 --> 03:19:15,180
application of any permit

5217
03:19:15,180 --> 03:19:17,314
related to the proposed data

5218
03:19:17,314 --> 03:19:19,384
center development. Also, in

5219
03:19:19,384 --> 03:19:21,919
the event that there is a

5220
03:19:21,919 --> 03:19:24,919
renter, the notice will be

5221
03:19:25,155 --> 03:19:28,726
mailed out to both the property

5222
03:19:28,726 --> 03:19:31,296
owner as well as the mailing

5223
03:19:31,296 --> 03:19:33,970
address of the property. Also,

5224
03:19:33,970 --> 03:19:36,301
I just wanted to share that I

5225
03:19:36,301 --> 03:19:37,801
would not be moving amendments

5226
03:19:37,801 --> 03:19:39,703
seven and eight. I know that we

5227
03:19:39,703 --> 03:19:41,500
all have a overwhelming desire

5228
03:19:41,500 --> 03:19:43,574
to make this legislation as

5229
03:19:43,574 --> 03:19:45,242
strong as possible, and we also

5230
03:19:45,242 --> 03:19:47,479
want to make sure that we're

5231
03:19:47,479 --> 03:19:49,614
being cognizant of not doing

5232
03:19:49,614 --> 03:19:51,415
anything that would potentially

5233
03:19:51,415 --> 03:19:52,584
delay passage of the

5234
03:19:52,584 --> 03:19:54,419
legislation. So I just wanted

5235
03:19:54,419 --> 03:19:55,520
to stand for anyone who was not

5236
03:19:55,520 --> 03:19:56,820
in committee yesterday. I know

5237
03:19:56,820 --> 03:20:00,900
a lot of constituents asked us

5238
03:20:00,900 --> 03:20:01,580
for additional amendments to

5239
03:20:01,580 --> 03:20:02,259
strengthen this legislation. So

5240
03:20:02,259 --> 03:20:03,294
for anyone that wasn't there

5241
03:20:03,294 --> 03:20:04,396
yesterday, just making sure

5242
03:20:04,396 --> 03:20:05,330
that people understand that

5243
03:20:05,330 --> 03:20:07,699
there are some additional

5244
03:20:07,699 --> 03:20:09,366
things being worked on. But if

5245
03:20:09,366 --> 03:20:12,303
it had to be re referred back

5246
03:20:12,303 --> 03:20:13,605
to planning in an effort to

5247
03:20:13,605 --> 03:20:14,872
continue with this legislation,

5248
03:20:14,872 --> 03:20:16,340
I won't be moving those

5249
03:20:16,340 --> 03:20:17,342
additional amendments.

5250
03:20:17,342 --> 03:20:19,177
Okay.

5251
03:20:19,177 --> 03:20:21,613
all right. So you've heard a

5252
03:20:21,613 --> 03:20:24,613
description of amendment six by

5253
03:20:24,982 --> 03:20:27,184
MISS Porterfield. It was

5254
03:20:27,184 --> 03:20:28,519
properly seconded. Is anyone

5255
03:20:28,519 --> 03:20:29,621
seeking to be recognized

5256
03:20:29,621 --> 03:20:32,122
specifically on the motion to

5257
03:20:32,122 --> 03:20:33,959
amend with amendment six?

5258
03:20:33,959 --> 03:20:35,594
Anyone in the queue? Raise your

5259
03:20:35,594 --> 03:20:38,396
hand if you're wanting to speak

5260
03:20:38,396 --> 03:20:39,698
on amendment six. Okay. All in

5261
03:20:39,698 --> 03:20:42,698
favor of amendment six, please

5262
03:20:42,933 --> 03:20:45,637
say aye. Any voting no or

5263
03:20:45,637 --> 03:20:46,705
abstaining. Okay. MR. Horton,

5264
03:20:46,705 --> 03:20:49,700
sponsor, is it your intent to

5265
03:20:49,700 --> 03:20:52,607
renew your motion to approve as

5266
03:20:53,345 --> 03:20:55,546
amended? Okay, on we go. Next

03:20:55,546 --> 03:20:56,947

5268
03:20:56,947 --> 03:20:58,683

5269
03:20:58,683 --> 03:20:59,883
Thank you, vice mayor. I just

5270
03:20:59,883 --> 03:21:01,190
want to speak to that. I'm

5271
03:21:01,190 --> 03:21:02,687
going to withdraw amendment two

5272
03:21:02,687 --> 03:21:03,854
and three for the sake of

5273
03:21:03,854 --> 03:21:05,790
getting this bill passed, and I

5274
03:21:05,790 --> 03:21:05,990
will bring this back at a later

5275
03:21:05,990 --> 03:21:07,658
date.

5276
03:21:07,658 --> 03:21:09,994
Okay. Amendments two and

5277
03:21:09,994 --> 03:21:12,970
three will be withdrawn and not

5278
03:21:12,970 --> 03:21:13,897
offered. Okay. Thank you, sir.

5279
03:21:13,897 --> 03:21:14,699
Thank you, vice mayor.

5280
03:21:14,699 --> 03:21:16,434
Next in

5281
03:21:16,434 --> 03:21:17,302
the queue is council member

5282
03:21:17,302 --> 03:21:18,168
johnston. Go ahead, ma'am.

5283
03:21:18,168 --> 03:21:18,870
You're recognized.

5284
03:21:18,870 --> 03:21:20,700
Thank you.

5285
03:21:20,700 --> 03:21:20,704
I'd like to move amendment five,

5286
03:21:20,704 --> 03:21:21,772
please.

5287
03:21:21,772 --> 03:21:22,707
Okay.

5288
03:21:22,707 --> 03:21:24,376
There is a motion

5289
03:21:24,376 --> 03:21:25,576
to amend with amendment five.

5290
03:21:25,576 --> 03:21:26,645
It's properly seconded.

5291
03:21:26,645 --> 03:21:27,611
Anything you want to share

5292
03:21:27,611 --> 03:21:29,413
about the amendment?

5293
03:21:29,413 --> 03:21:30,682
Yes. So it

5294
03:21:30,682 --> 03:21:32,650
requires an emergency response

5295
03:21:32,650 --> 03:21:33,818
and our resiliency plan to be

5296
03:21:33,818 --> 03:21:35,152
submitted to the fire marshal.

5297
03:21:35,152 --> 03:21:36,253
The office of emergency

5298
03:21:36,253 --> 03:21:38,550
management, zoning

5299
03:21:38,550 --> 03:21:38,857
administrator, nes prior to

5300
03:21:38,857 --> 03:21:40,592
approval. We did have some

5301
03:21:40,592 --> 03:21:41,992
concern yesterday about the

5302
03:21:41,992 --> 03:21:43,695
timing of that, but codes has

5303
03:21:43,695 --> 03:21:46,997
assured me that we can do that

5304
03:21:46,997 --> 03:21:48,165
before an occupancy. And so the

5305
03:21:48,165 --> 03:21:49,934
language was fine. And so again,

5306
03:21:49,934 --> 03:21:50,567
I renew my.

5307
03:21:50,567 --> 03:21:50,701
Motion for.

5308
03:21:50,701 --> 03:21:51,602
Motion

5309
03:21:51,602 --> 03:21:52,670
for approval.

5310
03:21:52,670 --> 03:21:53,905
Thank you. Okay.

5311
03:21:53,905 --> 03:21:55,240
With amendment five. Okay.

5312
03:21:55,240 --> 03:21:56,807
There's a motion to amend with

5313
03:21:56,807 --> 03:21:58,509
amendment five. You've heard an

5314
03:21:58,509 --> 03:22:00,646
explanation of the amendment by

5315
03:22:00,646 --> 03:22:02,147
its sponsor. Is there anyone

5316
03:22:02,147 --> 03:22:04,281
seeking a discussion on

5317
03:22:04,281 --> 03:22:05,917
amendment five specifically? If

5318
03:22:05,917 --> 03:22:08,652
so, if you would please raise

5319
03:22:08,652 --> 03:22:11,890
your hand. Okay. Seeing none.

5320
03:22:11,890 --> 03:22:13,324
All in favor of amendment five,

03:22:13,324 --> 03:22:15,926
please say aye. Any voting no

5322
03:22:15,926 --> 03:22:17,461

motion to approve, as amended,

5325
03:22:21,165 --> 03:22:24,765
up to this point? Okay. So

5326
03:22:24,802 --> 03:22:27,304
there is a motion to approve,

5327
03:22:27,304 --> 03:22:29,704

Okay.

03:22:36,814 --> 03:22:38,682
No. One five, six.

5332
03:22:38,682 --> 03:22:40,317
Oh, yeah. I got ahead of myself.

5333
03:22:40,317 --> 03:22:42,854
I marked four because of some

5334
03:22:42,854 --> 03:22:44,756
other issues. All right. A lot

5335
03:22:44,756 --> 03:22:47,125
of things on here. Got a plan

5336
03:22:47,125 --> 03:22:50,125

5337
03:22:50,729 --> 03:22:53,631
okay. Motion to amend with

Okay. On we go. Discussion

5340
03:22:56,868 --> 03:22:58,336

5341
03:22:58,336 --> 03:22:59,738
hoffman, speaking of amendment

5342
03:22:59,738 --> 03:23:00,237

5343
03:23:00,237 --> 03:23:02,237
Very timely.

5344
03:23:02,273 --> 03:23:04,909
Thank you, vice mayor. I'd like

5345
03:23:04,909 --> 03:23:06,878
to move amendment four. However,

5346
03:23:06,878 --> 03:23:08,679
I need to make a motion to

5347
03:23:08,679 --> 03:23:12,279
amend that on the floor for

5348
03:23:12,384 --> 03:23:14,185
housekeeping reasons.

5349
03:23:14,185 --> 03:23:15,953
Okay. I

5350
03:23:15,953 --> 03:23:17,321
know that we spoke and kind of

5351
03:23:17,321 --> 03:23:18,590
talked through, you know, the

5352
03:23:18,590 --> 03:23:20,258
motion to amend the amendment

5353
03:23:20,258 --> 03:23:21,993
and so forth. Subsequently, I

5354
03:23:21,993 --> 03:23:23,495
did speak with special counsel

5355
03:23:23,495 --> 03:23:25,197
about that in the proper order.

5356
03:23:25,197 --> 03:23:27,165
So, if I MAY, I'm just going to

5357
03:23:27,165 --> 03:23:30,302
go to special counsel so he can

5358
03:23:30,302 --> 03:23:31,803
share with us how to get

5359
03:23:31,803 --> 03:23:33,938
potentially this late filed

5360
03:23:33,938 --> 03:23:35,773
amendment that makes a minor

5361
03:23:35,773 --> 03:23:36,841
text change per your proposal,

5362
03:23:36,841 --> 03:23:39,678
a special counsel, can you

5363
03:23:39,678 --> 03:23:41,880
speak to MR. Hoffman's late

5364
03:23:41,880 --> 03:23:44,349
filed amendment relative to his

5365
03:23:44,349 --> 03:23:47,349
amendment four and how that

5366
03:23:47,619 --> 03:23:49,421
should proceed? Please, sir.

5367
03:23:49,421 --> 03:23:50,880
Vice mayor, a.

5368
03:23:50,880 --> 03:23:50,755
Late filed

5369
03:23:50,755 --> 03:23:53,580
amendment approved by the

5370
03:23:53,580 --> 03:23:55,226
council member was drafted and

5371
03:23:55,226 --> 03:23:56,627
sent to the inboxes of all

5372
03:23:56,627 --> 03:23:59,130
council members in the clerk's

5373
03:23:59,130 --> 03:24:00,932
office. A viable way forward

5374
03:24:00,932 --> 03:24:02,660
would simply be to move to

5375
03:24:02,660 --> 03:24:03,835
suspend the rules, to consider

5376
03:24:03,835 --> 03:24:04,869
the late filed amendment.

5377
03:24:04,869 --> 03:24:06,671
Okay,

5378
03:24:06,671 --> 03:24:07,438
I are you so moved?

5379
03:24:07,438 --> 03:24:09,438
So moved.

5380
03:24:10,375 --> 03:24:12,810
Okay. Is there any objection to

5381
03:24:12,810 --> 03:24:14,645
the motion to suspend the rules

5382
03:24:14,645 --> 03:24:16,513
so MR. Hoffman can make a minor

5383
03:24:16,513 --> 03:24:18,917
edit to his amendment four with

5384
03:24:18,917 --> 03:24:22,517
the amendment that you all have

5385
03:24:22,554 --> 03:24:24,322
previously been sent, seeing no

5386
03:24:24,322 --> 03:24:25,189
one seeking to object to the

5387
03:24:25,189 --> 03:24:27,240
suspension of the rule, the

5388
03:24:27,240 --> 03:24:28,930
rules are suspended. And so you

5389
03:24:28,930 --> 03:24:30,610
MAY offer specifically your

5390
03:24:30,610 --> 03:24:31,896
late filed amendment, sir.

5391
03:24:31,896 --> 03:24:34,310
Thank you, vice mayor. And as I

5392
03:24:34,310 --> 03:24:35,567
said, this is a minor change.

5393
03:24:35,567 --> 03:24:37,967
Essentially, the only change

5394
03:24:38,360 --> 03:24:38,770
here is it removes the word

5395
03:24:38,770 --> 03:24:40,770
telecommunication and replaces

5396
03:24:40,872 --> 03:24:43,872
that with fiber and broadband.

5397
03:24:44,142 --> 03:24:46,542
Okay. I appreciate the

5398
03:24:47,478 --> 03:24:48,814
explanation there. Anything

5399
03:24:48,814 --> 03:24:50,282
else you would like to say

5400
03:24:50,282 --> 03:24:50,649
about that amendment

5401
03:24:50,649 --> 03:24:51,820
specifically?

5402
03:24:51,820 --> 03:24:51,816
No, ma'am.

5403
03:24:51,816 --> 03:24:53,816
That's

5404
03:24:54,185 --> 03:24:55,520
okay. On the motion to amend

5405
03:24:55,520 --> 03:24:57,455
with MR. Hoffman's amendment.

5406
03:24:57,455 --> 03:24:58,722
Go ahead, MISS Porterfield.

5407
03:24:58,722 --> 03:24:59,791
Thank you. Rise and complete

5408
03:24:59,791 --> 03:25:01,793
support. Just want to confirm

5409
03:25:01,793 --> 03:25:02,694
that that does not require a

5410
03:25:02,694 --> 03:25:03,728
referral. Back to planning. If

5411
03:25:03,728 --> 03:25:04,595
we could confirm that from

5412
03:25:04,595 --> 03:25:05,664
planning.

5413
03:25:05,664 --> 03:25:07,265
Planning staff, if

5414
03:25:07,265 --> 03:25:08,599
you can, please confirm that

5415
03:25:08,599 --> 03:25:09,733
for us.

5416
03:25:09,733 --> 03:25:10,468
Sure. The late file

5417
03:25:10,468 --> 03:25:11,869
would not.

5418
03:25:11,869 --> 03:25:13,869
Require a referral.

5419
03:25:14,372 --> 03:25:16,941
Okay, thank you for that

5420
03:25:16,941 --> 03:25:19,941
confirmation. MADAM Pro tem, is

5421
03:25:20,111 --> 03:25:22,280
there any further discussion on

5422
03:25:22,280 --> 03:25:24,680
the hoffman late filed

5423
03:25:25,116 --> 03:25:27,520
amendment? Seeing none. All in

5424
03:25:27,520 --> 03:25:30,520
favor, please say aye. Any

5425
03:25:30,254 --> 03:25:32,570
voting no or abstaining? Okay.

5426
03:25:32,570 --> 03:25:35,657
This amendment is also on the

5427
03:25:38,463 --> 03:25:39,597
bill. Okay. Sponsor, is it your

5428
03:25:39,597 --> 03:25:41,131
intent to renew your motion to

5429
03:25:41,131 --> 03:25:42,467
approve, as amended at present

5430
03:25:42,467 --> 03:25:45,350
with all these amendments? Okay,

5431
03:25:45,350 --> 03:25:46,538
on we go. Next in the queue is

5432
03:25:46,538 --> 03:25:46,837
councilmember gamble. You're

5433
03:25:46,837 --> 03:25:47,672
recognized.

5434
03:25:47,672 --> 03:25:48,672
Thank you, vice

5435
03:25:48,672 --> 03:25:49,574
mayor. I would like.

5436
03:25:49,574 --> 03:25:51,443
To move.

5437
03:25:51,443 --> 03:25:53,278
Amendment ten.

5438
03:25:53,278 --> 03:25:55,113
Okay.

5439
03:25:55,113 --> 03:25:57,182
Councilmember gamble has moved

5440
03:25:57,182 --> 03:25:58,283
amendment ten. It's properly

5441
03:25:58,283 --> 03:25:59,483
seconded. Anything you want to

5442
03:25:59,483 --> 03:25:59,717
share about the amendment, MISS

5443
03:25:59,717 --> 03:26:01,252
Gamble?

5444
03:26:01,252 --> 03:26:03,354
Yes. Thank you. The

5445
03:26:03,354 --> 03:26:05,557
amendment defines the terms pue,

5446
03:26:05,557 --> 03:26:07,727
which is power usage

5447
03:26:07,727 --> 03:26:10,262
effectiveness and wue, which is

5448
03:26:10,262 --> 03:26:11,963
water usage usage effectiveness.

5449
03:26:11,963 --> 03:26:13,498
These terms are used for

5450
03:26:13,498 --> 03:26:15,367
describing metrics for

5451
03:26:15,367 --> 03:26:17,735
measuring performance of energy

5452
03:26:17,735 --> 03:26:19,237
and water usage with data

5453
03:26:19,237 --> 03:26:21,720
centers. The amendment also

5454
03:26:21,720 --> 03:26:23,472
requires data center operators

5455
03:26:23,507 --> 03:26:26,770
to monitor and report the p, e

5456
03:26:26,770 --> 03:26:27,912
and w, u, e metrics annually to

5457
03:26:27,912 --> 03:26:29,280
the zoning administrator, who

5458
03:26:29,280 --> 03:26:30,814
will make those reports

5459
03:26:30,814 --> 03:26:32,217
available to the public. And

5460
03:26:32,217 --> 03:26:33,785
the intent of the amendment is

5461
03:26:33,785 --> 03:26:35,720
to ensure best practices and

5462
03:26:35,720 --> 03:26:37,889
good resource stewardship and

5463
03:26:37,889 --> 03:26:39,724
energy and water efficiency

5464
03:26:39,724 --> 03:26:40,491
reporting and transparency.

5465
03:26:40,491 --> 03:26:42,260
Thank you.

5466
03:26:42,260 --> 03:26:44,426
All right. There is

5467
03:26:44,729 --> 03:26:46,898
a motion to amend with

5468
03:26:46,898 --> 03:26:49,768
amendment ten by MISS Gamble.

5469
03:26:49,768 --> 03:26:52,768
You have heard an explanation

5470
03:26:53,400 --> 03:26:54,806
by the sponsor. Is there any

5471
03:26:54,806 --> 03:26:57,643
discussion on the motion to

5472
03:26:57,643 --> 03:26:58,777
amend with amendment ten? If

5473
03:26:58,777 --> 03:26:59,877
anyone is seeking discussion on

5474
03:26:59,877 --> 03:27:01,877
that amendment specifically,

5475
03:27:02,581 --> 03:27:03,847
please raise your hand. Seeing

5476
03:27:03,847 --> 03:27:06,351
none. All in favor of amendment

5477
03:27:06,351 --> 03:27:08,486
ten, please say aye. Any voting

5478
03:27:08,486 --> 03:27:09,520
no or abstaining sponsor.

5479
03:27:09,520 --> 03:27:11,220
Horton, do you renew your

5480
03:27:11,220 --> 03:27:13,892
motion to approve as amended?

5481
03:27:13,892 --> 03:27:16,995
Okay, on we go. Right. We're

5482
03:27:16,995 --> 03:27:18,163
adding amendment ten. Next in

5483
03:27:18,163 --> 03:27:20,532
the queue for discussion is

5484
03:27:20,532 --> 03:27:23,532
council member. Gad, MISS Gad,

5485
03:27:29,700 --> 03:27:30,475
you're recognized. Okay, next

5486
03:27:30,475 --> 03:27:31,910
after that, because MISS

5487
03:27:31,910 --> 03:27:33,678
Benedict wants to speak on

5488
03:27:33,678 --> 03:27:34,845
amended as the end is. MR. Cap,

5489
03:27:34,845 --> 03:27:35,180
you are recognized, sir.

5490
03:27:35,180 --> 03:27:36,548
Thank

5491
03:27:36,548 --> 03:27:37,849
you, vice mayor. I have three

5492
03:27:37,849 --> 03:27:39,452
amendments to move. I'll start

5493
03:27:39,452 --> 03:27:41,820
by moving amendment number 11.

5494
03:27:41,820 --> 03:27:42,655
Okay, sir. Properly seconded.

5495
03:27:42,655 --> 03:27:43,788
Go ahead.

5496
03:27:43,788 --> 03:27:45,223
Thank you. This

5497
03:27:45,223 --> 03:27:47,392
amendment requires the zoning

5498
03:27:47,392 --> 03:27:49,161
administrator to publicize the

5499
03:27:49,161 --> 03:27:51,290
compliance reports required

5500
03:27:51,290 --> 03:27:53,429
elsewhere in the legislation.

5501
03:27:53,431 --> 03:27:55,667
all right. There's a motion to

5502
03:27:55,667 --> 03:27:56,701
amend with amendment 11.

5503
03:27:56,701 --> 03:27:59,101
Properly seconded. And you've

5504
03:27:59,437 --> 03:28:01,837
heard the explanation of

5505
03:28:03,740 --> 03:28:04,509
sponsor cap. Is there any

5506
03:28:04,509 --> 03:28:06,509
discussion specifically on

5507
03:28:07,479 --> 03:28:08,481
amendment 11? If you seek to be

5508
03:28:08,481 --> 03:28:10,615
recognized on that amendment,

5509
03:28:10,615 --> 03:28:12,830
please raise your hand. Seeing

5510
03:28:12,830 --> 03:28:14,986
none. All in favor, please say

5511
03:28:14,986 --> 03:28:17,986
aye. Any voting no or

5512
03:28:18,556 --> 03:28:19,958
abstaining? Okay. MR. Horton,

5513
03:28:19,958 --> 03:28:23,261
he is nodding his head. On we

5514
03:28:23,261 --> 03:28:24,663
go. Motion to approve, as

5515
03:28:24,663 --> 03:28:25,730
amended. Go ahead, MR. Cap. You

5516
03:28:25,730 --> 03:28:25,897
still have the floor.

5517
03:28:25,897 --> 03:28:27,897
Move.

5518
03:28:28,667 --> 03:28:30,350
Amendment number 12, right.

5519
03:28:30,350 --> 03:28:30,803
Anything you want to say about

5520
03:28:30,803 --> 03:28:31,671
amendment 12, sir?

5521
03:28:31,671 --> 03:28:32,771
Briefly,

5522
03:28:32,771 --> 03:28:33,839
vice mayor. Thank you. This

5523
03:28:33,839 --> 03:28:35,507
tightens up some pretty

5524
03:28:35,507 --> 03:28:37,242
important definitions in

5525
03:28:37,242 --> 03:28:39,411
legislation. The first of all,

5526
03:28:39,411 --> 03:28:41,614
it defines emergency use to to

5527
03:28:41,614 --> 03:28:42,647
really require a true emergency

5528
03:28:42,647 --> 03:28:45,470
when backup power generation

5529
03:28:45,584 --> 03:28:47,719
might be required. And it also

5530
03:28:47,719 --> 03:28:49,521
specifies truly renewable and

5531
03:28:49,521 --> 03:28:51,323
sustainable sources of energy,

5532
03:28:51,323 --> 03:28:53,124
rather than using more

5533
03:28:53,124 --> 03:28:54,660
capacious terms. That could be

5534
03:28:54,660 --> 03:28:56,429
a little too flexible. So with

5535
03:28:56,429 --> 03:28:56,696
that, I ask your support.

5536
03:28:56,696 --> 03:28:58,264
All

5537
03:28:58,264 --> 03:29:00,320
right. There's a motion to

5538
03:29:00,320 --> 03:29:01,433
amend with amendment 11. You've

5539
03:29:01,433 --> 03:29:02,834
heard a description of that

5540
03:29:02,834 --> 03:29:04,636
amendment by its sponsor, MR.

5541
03:29:04,636 --> 03:29:06,104
Cap. Is anyone seeking to be

5542
03:29:06,104 --> 03:29:08,104
recognized specifically on

5543
03:29:08,340 --> 03:29:10,241
amendment 11? Raise your hand

5544
03:29:10,241 --> 03:29:11,643
if so, seeing none. All in

5545
03:29:11,643 --> 03:29:12,177
favor of amendment 11, please

5546
03:29:12,177 --> 03:29:13,679
say aye.

5547
03:29:13,679 --> 03:29:14,347
Point of order. Yes.

5548
03:29:14,347 --> 03:29:16,114

5570
03:29:54,954 --> 03:29:56,822
Thank you, vice

5571
03:29:56,822 --> 03:29:58,291
mayor. This requires owners and

5572
03:29:58,291 --> 03:29:59,325
operators to require sound

5573
03:29:59,325 --> 03:30:00,859

All right, so

03:30:07,265 --> 03:30:09,769

5588
03:30:31,390 --> 03:30:34,193
MR. Horton, do you seek to

5589
03:30:34,193 --> 03:30:36,227

5590
03:30:36,227 --> 03:30:38,164
right. MISS Benedict, you have

5591
03:30:38,164 --> 03:30:40,933
remained at the top. Thank you

5592
03:30:40,933 --> 03:30:41,834
for all this time. You are

5593
03:30:41,834 --> 03:30:42,101

5594
03:30:42,101 --> 03:30:43,468
Thank you,

5595
03:30:43,468 --> 03:30:45,671
MADAM Vice mayor. Previous

5596
03:30:45,671 --> 03:30:47,671
question.

5597
03:30:51,420 --> 03:30:53,211
Okay. There is a

5598
03:30:53,211 --> 03:30:56,211
motion to call the previous

5599
03:30:57,883 --> 03:31:00,283
question. It is properly

5600
03:31:00,852 --> 03:31:02,520
seconded and it requires two

5601
03:31:02,520 --> 03:31:02,921
thirds of those voting. We will

5602
03:31:02,921 --> 03:31:04,550
try.

5603
03:31:04,550 --> 03:31:04,289
Point of parliamentary

5604
03:31:04,289 --> 03:31:05,424
inquiry.

5605
03:31:05,424 --> 03:31:07,293
Yes, ma'am. Go ahead.

5606
03:31:07,293 --> 03:31:08,628
Could you please. What the

5607
03:31:08,628 --> 03:31:10,128
motion is, what that previous

5608
03:31:10,128 --> 03:31:10,830
motion is with the amendment

5609
03:31:10,830 --> 03:31:11,563
numbers, please.

5610
03:31:11,563 --> 03:31:12,665
Right. So

5611
03:31:12,665 --> 03:31:14,132
first we will dispose of the

5612
03:31:14,132 --> 03:31:15,868
previous question. But

5613
03:31:15,868 --> 03:31:17,702
subsequent to that, when we do,

5614
03:31:17,702 --> 03:31:19,204
if the previous question

5615
03:31:19,204 --> 03:31:20,939
prevails and we move to the

5616
03:31:20,939 --> 03:31:23,750
vote, then I will restate all

5617
03:31:23,750 --> 03:31:26,675
the amendments that are on the

5618
03:31:28,513 --> 03:31:30,616
bill at that time. Okay. So. At

5619
03:31:30,616 --> 03:31:33,160
this juncture, MISS Benedict

5620
03:31:34,620 --> 03:31:37,620
has called the question which

5621
03:31:39,291 --> 03:31:40,892
would end debate. And so if you

5622
03:31:40,892 --> 03:31:43,963
want to end debate, you will

5623
03:31:43,963 --> 03:31:46,980
say, I if you want to continue

5624
03:31:46,980 --> 03:31:49,980
with discussion on this bill,

5625
03:31:49,168 --> 03:31:50,402
you will say no. All in favor

5626
03:31:50,402 --> 03:31:52,802
of the previous question,

5627
03:31:53,673 --> 03:31:56,241
please say I, I any voting no,

5628
03:31:56,241 --> 03:31:58,777
please say no. Okay. That's

5629
03:31:58,777 --> 03:32:00,913
pretty clear. That is two

5630
03:32:00,913 --> 03:32:02,982
thirds of those voting. The

5631
03:32:02,982 --> 03:32:05,183
question has been called. That

5632
03:32:05,183 --> 03:32:09,383
means that we will now go back

5633
03:32:09,589 --> 03:32:11,390
to the motion to approve. And

5634
03:32:11,390 --> 03:32:12,824
of course, no sooner had we

5635
03:32:12,824 --> 03:32:15,761
done that, I lost my place.

5636
03:32:15,761 --> 03:32:19,265
Found it. Okay, so we're going

5637
03:32:19,265 --> 03:32:22,868
to move to the vote and the

5638
03:32:22,868 --> 03:32:25,868
motion to approve, as amended

5639
03:32:26,380 --> 03:32:28,240

amendments just stated. The

5651
03:33:06,879 --> 03:33:09,879
question has been called. So

5652
03:33:11,183 --> 03:33:13,190
there is no debate. So we will

5653
03:33:13,190 --> 03:33:14,353
move to the vote. Will try it

5654
03:33:14,353 --> 03:33:17,556

5733
03:36:11,931 --> 03:36:12,931

and again 1424, which is the

5738
03:36:20,472 --> 03:36:21,574
companion to 1423 and requires

5739
03:36:21,574 --> 03:36:22,475
that certain materials be

5740
03:36:22,475 --> 03:36:23,808
restricted in the construction

5741
03:36:23,808 --> 03:36:24,677

horton, you're recognized.

5743
03:36:25,677 --> 03:36:26,979
Thank you. Vice mayor.

5757
03:36:47,199 --> 03:36:48,900
Okay. If you would, sir,

5758
03:36:48,900 --> 03:36:50,300
you consolidate the motion

5759
03:36:50,300 --> 03:36:52,538
afterwards, but if you would

5760
03:36:52,538 --> 03:36:53,673
move approval of 1423, as I do

5761
03:36:53,673 --> 03:36:54,674
see you have an amendment.

5762
03:36:54,674 --> 03:36:55,775
Approval of.

5763
03:36:55,775 --> 03:36:57,610

5764
03:36:57,610 --> 03:36:57,977
there a second? Okay. Back to

5765
03:36:57,977 --> 03:36:59,450
you, sir.

5766
03:36:59,450 --> 03:36:59,712
Move approval of the

5767
03:36:59,712 --> 03:37:00,846
amendment.

5768
03:37:00,846 --> 03:37:02,481
Okay. Is there a

5769
03:37:02,481 --> 03:37:04,383
second for the motion to amend?

5770
03:37:04,383 --> 03:37:04,684
Okay. Any discussion

5771
03:37:04,684 --> 03:37:05,851
amendment?

5772
03:37:05,851 --> 03:37:08,251
Move approval of the

5773
03:37:08,387 --> 03:37:09,387
bill as amended? No.

5774
03:37:09,387 --> 03:37:10,823
Okay. Is

5775
03:37:10,823 --> 03:37:13,823
anyone seeking to be recognized

5776
03:37:14,760 --> 03:37:17,396
on the motion to amend MISS

5777
03:37:17,396 --> 03:37:18,970
Allen on the motion to amend?

5778
03:37:18,970 --> 03:37:18,764
You're recognized.

5779
03:37:18,764 --> 03:37:20,666
MADAM Vice

5780
03:37:20,666 --> 03:37:23,501
PRESIDENT, we just had a lot of

5781
03:37:23,501 --> 03:37:25,303
emails with with statements of

5782
03:37:25,303 --> 03:37:27,206
concern about the mural. So I

5783
03:37:27,206 --> 03:37:28,574
would ask if the the sponsor

5784
03:37:28,574 --> 03:37:30,342
and perhaps the planning

5785
03:37:30,342 --> 03:37:32,742
commission can offer assurance

5786
03:37:32,878 --> 03:37:35,810
that this amendment does indeed

5787
03:37:35,810 --> 03:37:36,782
preserve that mural so that it

5788
03:37:36,782 --> 03:37:38,284
will be publicly available. And

5789
03:37:38,284 --> 03:37:40,190
what what mechanisms are there

5790
03:37:40,190 --> 03:37:40,354
to ensure that that actually

5791
03:37:40,354 --> 03:37:41,153
happens?

5792
03:37:41,153 --> 03:37:43,122
I'm going to put it

5793
03:37:43,122 --> 03:37:45,124
back to the sponsor first to

5794
03:37:45,124 --> 03:37:45,491
respond. Okay. Go ahead, MR.

5795
03:37:45,491 --> 03:37:47,491
Horton.

5796
03:37:47,693 --> 03:37:48,961
Thank you, vice mayor.

5797
03:37:48,961 --> 03:37:50,796
This is not a new project. This

5798
03:37:50,796 --> 03:37:51,964
is an amendment to an existing

5799
03:37:51,964 --> 03:37:53,733
sp approved by my predecessor

5800
03:37:53,733 --> 03:37:55,368
back in 2023. It's being

5801
03:37:55,368 --> 03:37:57,336
amended to remove a condition

5802
03:37:57,336 --> 03:37:58,371
that required the reuse of

5803
03:37:58,371 --> 03:38:00,771
portions of the existing

5804
03:38:00,973 --> 03:38:02,575
building. Unfortunately, one of

5805
03:38:02,575 --> 03:38:03,776
the portions of the building

5806
03:38:03,776 --> 03:38:05,511
that wasn't going to be reused

5807
03:38:05,511 --> 03:38:06,812
was the mural on the side,

5808
03:38:06,812 --> 03:38:07,880
which is the only remarkable

5809
03:38:07,880 --> 03:38:09,548
part of the building. This

5810
03:38:09,548 --> 03:38:11,350
amendment. We're modifying the

5811
03:38:11,350 --> 03:38:13,853
provision now to codify the new

5812
03:38:13,853 --> 03:38:14,787
plan of the sp, which does

5813
03:38:14,787 --> 03:38:17,189
include the intent to preserve

5814
03:38:17,189 --> 03:38:19,292
the existing mural. This

5815
03:38:19,292 --> 03:38:20,359
amendment codifies that intent

5816
03:38:20,359 --> 03:38:23,290
requires the mural to be

5817
03:38:23,290 --> 03:38:24,531
preserved, reused, re donated

5818
03:38:24,531 --> 03:38:26,233
to the artist if they would

5819
03:38:26,233 --> 03:38:27,968
like it, or otherwise displayed

5820
03:38:27,968 --> 03:38:30,436
in a public place. It makes

5821
03:38:30,436 --> 03:38:30,803
this a condition of the sp.

5822
03:38:30,803 --> 03:38:32,538
All

5823
03:38:32,538 --> 03:38:33,507
right. Is that sufficient to

5824
03:38:33,507 --> 03:38:35,775
answer your question, MISS

5825
03:38:35,775 --> 03:38:37,430
Allen?

5826
03:38:37,430 --> 03:38:38,911
If there's anything else

5827
03:38:38,911 --> 03:38:41,781
that can be said just in terms

5828
03:38:41,781 --> 03:38:43,449
of what what mechanisms that actually happens, I

5829
03:38:43,449 --> 03:38:44,851
think there's still some

5830
03:38:44,851 --> 03:38:46,319
concern that just because it's

5831
03:38:46,319 --> 03:38:48,854
an amendment doesn't mean it's

5832
03:38:48,854 --> 03:38:49,855
it's force of law. And, and my

5833
03:38:49,855 --> 03:38:52,592
understanding is that this is

5834
03:38:52,592 --> 03:38:53,659
as good as what was recommended

5835
03:38:53,659 --> 03:38:55,696
by the planning ommission that

5836
03:38:55,696 --> 03:38:59,166
once we vote on this, it it is

5837
03:38:59,166 --> 03:39:00,667
it is a a firm piece of the sp

5838
03:39:00,667 --> 03:39:01,330
that has to happen.

5839
03:39:01,330 --> 03:39:01,601
Okay.

5840
03:39:01,601 --> 03:39:03,202
MR.

5841
03:39:03,202 --> 03:39:03,636
Can be done to just confirm

5842
03:39:03,636 --> 03:39:04,637
that.

5843
03:39:04,637 --> 03:39:05,371
This is something we

5844
03:39:05,371 --> 03:39:06,672
discussed in committee

5845
03:39:06,672 --> 03:39:08,700
yesterday, and I'll defer to

5846
03:39:08,700 --> 03:39:09,108
the planning department again

5847
03:39:09,108 --> 03:39:10,209
if they're able to speak on

5848
03:39:10,209 --> 03:39:11,770
this like they did.

5849
03:39:11,770 --> 03:39:12,178
Yesterday.

5850
03:39:12,178 --> 03:39:14,347
MISS Milligan, for the planning

5851
03:39:14,347 --> 03:39:14,714
department. Go ahead, ma'am.

5852
03:39:14,714 --> 03:39:16,415
Sure.

5853
03:39:16,415 --> 03:39:17,683
At the time that a final

5854
03:39:17,683 --> 03:39:19,752
site plan is submitted, which

5855
03:39:19,752 --> 03:39:21,153
is the second part of a

5856
03:39:21,153 --> 03:39:22,888
specific plan approval. Final

5857
03:39:22,888 --> 03:39:23,923
site plans are submitted at the

5858
03:39:23,923 --> 03:39:25,224
time that they're submitted.

5859
03:39:25,224 --> 03:39:26,259
Then planning staff and all of

5860
03:39:26,259 --> 03:39:28,395
the other metro departments

5861
03:39:28,395 --> 03:39:29,562
review those final site plans

5862
03:39:29,562 --> 03:39:30,596
against the plans that were

5863
03:39:30,596 --> 03:39:31,530
approved by the planning

5864
03:39:31,530 --> 03:39:32,666
commission. The plans that are

5865
03:39:32,666 --> 03:39:35,601
approved here, in addition to

5866
03:39:35,601 --> 03:39:37,336
any conditions that are added

5867
03:39:37,336 --> 03:39:38,971
to the bill, and so we review

5868
03:39:38,971 --> 03:39:40,273
those to ensure compliance with

5869
03:39:40,273 --> 03:39:42,410
all the conditions that are

5870
03:39:42,410 --> 03:39:43,743
added, and that is done in

5871
03:39:43,743 --> 03:39:45,278
advance of any final site plans

5872
03:39:45,278 --> 03:39:46,120
being approved.

5873
03:39:46,120 --> 03:39:47,847
MISS Allen,

5874
03:39:47,847 --> 03:39:50,847
does that address your concerns?

5875
03:39:51,510 --> 03:39:53,353
Okay. Is there any additional

5876
03:39:53,353 --> 03:39:55,753
discussion on specifically on

5877
03:39:55,755 --> 03:39:56,857
the motion to amend MISS Ellis?

5878
03:39:56,857 --> 03:39:57,157
Okay. Go ahead. You're

5879
03:39:57,157 --> 03:39:58,224
recognized.

5880
03:39:58,224 --> 03:39:59,692
So I just wanted to

5881
03:39:59,692 --> 03:40:01,827
understand from the planning

5882
03:40:01,827 --> 03:40:05,427
committee. So is it written in

5883
03:40:05,831 --> 03:40:08,831
this current amendment that the

5884
03:40:09,360 --> 03:40:09,468
murals will be protected?

5885
03:40:09,468 --> 03:40:10,470
MISS

5886
03:40:10,470 --> 03:40:11,837
Milligan, for the planning

5887
03:40:11,837 --> 03:40:14,837
department, do you want to

5888
03:40:15,509 --> 03:40:16,309
further expound on that?

5889
03:40:16,309 --> 03:40:18,309
The

5890
03:40:19,446 --> 03:40:20,546
wording the amendment says the

5891
03:40:20,546 --> 03:40:22,480
existing mural on the west

5892
03:40:22,480 --> 03:40:24,150
facade of the existing

5893
03:40:24,150 --> 03:40:26,319
structure fronting 60th avenue

5894
03:40:26,319 --> 03:40:27,954
north, shall be preserved and

5895
03:40:27,954 --> 03:40:30,223
reused or repurposed within the

5896
03:40:30,223 --> 03:40:32,623
new development, returned or

5897
03:40:32,825 --> 03:40:34,694
donated to the artists, or

5898
03:40:34,694 --> 03:40:37,940
otherwise relocated to another

5899
03:40:37,464 --> 03:40:37,564
publicly viewable area.

5900
03:40:37,564 --> 03:40:39,564
All

5901
03:40:41,802 --> 03:40:45,402
right, I heard a shout. Okay,

5902
03:40:45,771 --> 03:40:47,608
any further discussion on the

5903
03:40:47,608 --> 03:40:49,408
motion to amend specifically

5904
03:40:49,408 --> 03:40:49,842
MISS Gadd? Go ahead.

5905
03:40:49,842 --> 03:40:51,842
Thank you

5906
03:40:51,878 --> 03:40:54,714
so much. And also just

5907
03:40:54,714 --> 03:40:56,882
clarification from the planning

5908
03:40:56,882 --> 03:40:59,850
department table. Was this

5909
03:40:59,850 --> 03:41:01,485
language included in the

5910
03:41:01,588 --> 03:41:03,423
previously council approved s p

5911
03:41:03,423 --> 03:41:05,192
for the protection of the mural,

5912
03:41:05,192 --> 03:41:05,959
or is this new.

5913
03:41:05,959 --> 03:41:07,959
MISS Milligan,

5914
03:41:08,600 --> 03:41:10,162
you're recognized for planning.

5915
03:41:10,162 --> 03:41:11,498
The previous version of the sp

5916
03:41:11,498 --> 03:41:13,166
did not include this language.

5917
03:41:13,166 --> 03:41:15,668
I went back and reviewed the

5918
03:41:15,668 --> 03:41:17,804
plan today, and there is one

5919
03:41:17,804 --> 03:41:19,380
notation in regards to a mural

5920
03:41:19,380 --> 03:41:20,640
on the parking garage, but it

5921
03:41:20,640 --> 03:41:22,808
did not indicate that it would

5922
03:41:22,808 --> 03:41:26,780
be a relocation of the existing

5923
03:41:26,780 --> 03:41:27,281
mural. It it didn't indicate

5924
03:41:27,281 --> 03:41:28,582
precisely what mural it would

5925
03:41:28,582 --> 03:41:29,316
be.

5926
03:41:29,316 --> 03:41:30,417
Okay, MISS.

5927
03:41:30,417 --> 03:41:32,417
Thank you so

5928
03:41:32,920 --> 03:41:35,550
much. And I, I think like

5929
03:41:35,550 --> 03:41:36,523
others receiving, you know,

5930
03:41:36,523 --> 03:41:38,257
comments and concerns, just

5931
03:41:38,257 --> 03:41:41,228
wanted to be able to say thank

5932
03:41:41,228 --> 03:41:42,161
you to those constituents and

5933
03:41:42,161 --> 03:41:44,798
members of the community who

5934
03:41:44,798 --> 03:41:46,600
care so much about art, whether

5935
03:41:46,600 --> 03:41:47,733
that's on private property, it

5936
03:41:47,733 --> 03:41:48,969
becomes public and something

5937
03:41:48,969 --> 03:41:50,704
that we all love. And thank you

5938
03:41:50,704 --> 03:41:51,638
to the sponsor for ensuring,

5939
03:41:51,638 --> 03:41:53,106
even though this wasn't

5940
03:41:53,106 --> 03:41:54,907
protected in this way in the

5941
03:41:54,907 --> 03:41:56,677
previous s p that was

5942
03:41:56,677 --> 03:41:58,677
previously previously approved,

5943
03:41:59,913 --> 03:42:01,347
I'm really grateful to him

5944
03:42:01,347 --> 03:42:04,985
working on to make sure this is

5945
03:42:04,985 --> 03:42:06,453
a part of this s p moving

5946
03:42:06,453 --> 03:42:07,853
forward. So thank you so much

5947
03:42:07,853 --> 03:42:08,387
and I'll be supporting it.

5948
03:42:08,387 --> 03:42:10,387
All

5949
03:42:11,910 --> 03:42:13,590
right. So we are on the motion

5950
03:42:13,590 --> 03:42:14,994
to amend. MR. Bradford, do you

5951
03:42:14,994 --> 03:42:15,429
seek to be recognized? Go ahead

5952
03:42:15,429 --> 03:42:16,929
sir.

5953
03:42:16,929 --> 03:42:18,332
Thank you, MADAM Vice

5954
03:42:18,332 --> 03:42:19,365
mayor. I don't know if this

5955
03:42:19,365 --> 03:42:21,568
question is more directed

5956
03:42:21,568 --> 03:42:23,968
towards director wilson or

5957
03:42:24,400 --> 03:42:26,305
planning. And this question MAY

5958
03:42:26,305 --> 03:42:28,375
open a can of worms. My you

5959
03:42:28,375 --> 03:42:29,810
know, the the

5960
03:42:29,810 --> 03:42:31,110
constituents and one question

5961
03:42:31,110 --> 03:42:32,512
or concern I have and we've

5962
03:42:32,512 --> 03:42:34,480
seen it happen here in

5963
03:42:34,480 --> 03:42:37,170
nashville. When we try to

5964
03:42:37,170 --> 03:42:39,152
require developers to protect

5965
03:42:39,152 --> 03:42:40,287
something, they come through in

5966
03:42:40,287 --> 03:42:43,189
the middle of the night and

5967
03:42:43,189 --> 03:42:45,659
destroy it. So I my concern is

5968
03:42:45,659 --> 03:42:48,590
what repercussions or actions

5969
03:42:48,161 --> 03:42:49,730
can be taken if we pass this

5970
03:42:49,730 --> 03:42:51,764
amendment tonight with these

5971
03:42:51,764 --> 03:42:53,133
protections and the developer

5972
03:42:53,133 --> 03:42:54,368
decides what they don't want to

5973
03:42:54,368 --> 03:42:55,368
spend the money to relocate,

5974
03:42:55,368 --> 03:42:57,638
and they tear it down the

5975
03:42:57,638 --> 03:42:59,106
middle of the night, do we do

5976
03:42:59,106 --> 03:43:01,508
we have any recourse on that?

5977
03:43:01,508 --> 03:43:03,676
What happens in that situation?

5978
03:43:03,676 --> 03:43:05,770
So your question is a

5979
03:43:05,770 --> 03:43:06,679
hypothetical related to the

5980
03:43:06,679 --> 03:43:09,679
passage of this amendment. With

5981
03:43:09,783 --> 03:43:13,520
it in place, is there any

5982
03:43:13,520 --> 03:43:15,221
recourse for the city relative

5983
03:43:15,221 --> 03:43:15,856
to these specifications?

5984
03:43:15,856 --> 03:43:17,570
If the

5985
03:43:17,570 --> 03:43:18,791
developer turns around and does

5986
03:43:18,791 --> 03:43:19,526
not follow the sb and.

5987
03:43:19,526 --> 03:43:20,928
A

5988
03:43:20,928 --> 03:43:23,928
special counsel? Wilson, do you

5989
03:43:26,600 --> 03:43:29,600
want to opine on that?

5990
03:43:30,303 --> 03:43:32,406
Councilmember broadly? A the sb

5991
03:43:32,406 --> 03:43:34,974
has the effect of law. So any

5992
03:43:34,974 --> 03:43:36,476
any violation of that sp or a

5993
03:43:36,476 --> 03:43:37,511
lack of fulfillment of these

5994
03:43:37,511 --> 03:43:38,678
conditions would be a violation

5995
03:43:38,678 --> 03:43:40,130
of the metropolitan code of

5996
03:43:40,130 --> 03:43:41,181
laws.

5997
03:43:41,181 --> 03:43:43,181
Thank you.Special

5998
03:43:44,830 --> 03:43:44,751
counsel, MR. Bradford.

5999
03:43:44,751 --> 03:43:46,353
So what

6000
03:43:46,353 --> 03:43:47,921
actions would metro then take?

6001
03:43:47,921 --> 03:43:49,488
would. They would require the

6002
03:43:49,488 --> 03:43:51,925
builder to put the wall back up.

6003
03:43:51,925 --> 03:43:54,925
Are we charging a $50 fine.

6004
03:43:55,227 --> 03:43:58,227
Like what exactly would happen

6005
03:43:58,432 --> 03:44:00,499
if they violated the law?

6006
03:44:00,499 --> 03:44:02,768
Special counsel wilson the

6007
03:44:02,768 --> 03:44:05,168
violation of specifications of

6008
03:44:07,407 --> 03:44:08,875
an s p, sir, could.

6009
03:44:08,875 --> 03:44:09,743
I at this

6010
03:44:09,743 --> 03:44:11,440
point, I would say that it

6011
03:44:11,440 --> 03:44:11,877
would depend on the

6012
03:44:11,877 --> 03:44:13,679
circumstances. It would depend

6013
03:44:13,679 --> 03:44:17,840
on the facts of the case and.

6014
03:44:17,840 --> 03:44:17,950
And it would depend on how the

6015
03:44:17,950 --> 03:44:19,252
metropolitan government wished

6016
03:44:19,252 --> 03:44:21,252
to proceed.

6017
03:44:22,189 --> 03:44:24,589
Thank you. Okay. We

6018
03:44:24,657 --> 03:44:26,526
are on the motion to amend.

6019
03:44:26,526 --> 03:44:27,794
MISS Suara. Do you seek to be

6020
03:44:27,794 --> 03:44:28,194
recognized? Go ahead.

6021
03:44:28,194 --> 03:44:30,960
Vice

6022
03:44:30,960 --> 03:44:31,897
mayor. Appreciate it. I think

6023
03:44:31,897 --> 03:44:33,367
councilmember bradford was

6024
03:44:33,367 --> 03:44:37,300
going where I was, but mine is

6025
03:44:37,300 --> 03:44:38,971
not so much that they are mess

6026
03:44:38,971 --> 03:44:40,340
it up or do something. But I

6027
03:44:40,340 --> 03:44:42,309
just wanted to know as somebody

6028
03:44:42,309 --> 03:44:44,543
who doesn't do a lot of zoning.

6029
03:44:44,543 --> 03:44:45,912
So having this protection now,

6030
03:44:45,912 --> 03:44:48,115
will the planning department be

6031
03:44:48,115 --> 03:44:50,217
able to stop them from

6032
03:44:50,217 --> 03:44:52,451
continuing if they do not

6033
03:44:52,451 --> 03:44:55,451
adhere to this protection in

6034
03:44:56,356 --> 03:44:58,157
the in the in the zoning? Now.

6035
03:44:58,157 --> 03:44:59,593
MISS Milligan was speaking

6036
03:44:59,593 --> 03:45:01,280
earlier to the sp zoning and

6037
03:45:01,280 --> 03:45:02,228
the kind of the secondary

6038
03:45:02,228 --> 03:45:05,228
process there. Would you like

6039
03:45:06,399 --> 03:45:09,999
her to elaborate on that, MISS

6040
03:45:10,300 --> 03:45:12,300
Milligan?

6041
03:45:12,205 --> 03:45:13,841
So specific plan

6042
03:45:13,841 --> 03:45:15,442
zoning is a multi step process.

6043
03:45:15,442 --> 03:45:17,100
The first step is a preliminary

6044
03:45:17,100 --> 03:45:18,346
sp which is what is before you

6045
03:45:18,346 --> 03:45:20,514
all tonight, which establishes

6046
03:45:20,514 --> 03:45:21,480
the entitlements and the rules

6047
03:45:21,480 --> 03:45:22,683
regarding the development of

6048
03:45:22,683 --> 03:45:24,885
the property. The second step

6049
03:45:24,885 --> 03:45:26,587
of the process is a final site

6050
03:45:26,587 --> 03:45:27,653
plan. That is the detailed

6051
03:45:27,653 --> 03:45:29,653
construction documents that

6052
03:45:29,823 --> 03:45:30,624
come in that establish the, I'm

6053
03:45:30,624 --> 03:45:31,624
sorry, the detailed

6054
03:45:31,624 --> 03:45:33,930
construction documents that

6055
03:45:33,930 --> 03:45:35,930
include everything from

6056
03:45:35,261 --> 03:45:37,640
building materials to building

6057
03:45:37,640 --> 03:45:38,131
elevations to water and sewer

6058
03:45:38,131 --> 03:45:39,165
plans. When those final site

6059
03:45:39,165 --> 03:45:40,400
plans are submitted, the

6060
03:45:40,400 --> 03:45:41,902
planning department, along with

6061
03:45:41,902 --> 03:45:43,503
all of the other metro

6062
03:45:43,503 --> 03:45:45,372
reviewing agencies, review

6063
03:45:45,372 --> 03:45:46,439
those construction plans for

6064
03:45:46,439 --> 03:45:49,439
compliance with all of the

6065
03:45:49,575 --> 03:45:51,478
standards of the metro codes as

6066
03:45:51,478 --> 03:45:52,813
adopted, including any

6067
03:45:52,813 --> 03:45:55,213
standards or conditions that

6068
03:45:55,415 --> 03:45:56,415
are adopted as part of the sp

6069
03:45:56,415 --> 03:45:57,985
ordinance. And so planning

6070
03:45:57,985 --> 03:45:59,354
would review those, and a final

6071
03:45:59,354 --> 03:46:02,923
site plan would not be reviewed

6072
03:46:02,923 --> 03:46:04,560
until compliance is confirmed.

6073
03:46:04,560 --> 03:46:04,190
Thank you, thank you.

6074
03:46:04,190 --> 03:46:06,190
Okay,

6075
03:46:06,526 --> 03:46:08,328
MISS Suara, MISS Styles, do you

6076
03:46:08,328 --> 03:46:11,565
still seek to be recognized on

6077
03:46:11,565 --> 03:46:14,565
the amendment? Please go ahead.

6078
03:46:14,800 --> 03:46:17,704
So if art has to be re

6079
03:46:17,704 --> 03:46:19,773
repurposed, does that allow for

6080
03:46:19,773 --> 03:46:21,410
does the artist have any say in

6081
03:46:21,410 --> 03:46:24,410
that and how it's repurposed?

6082
03:46:24,678 --> 03:46:25,911
Is it just the language says it repurposed in whatever

6083
03:46:25,911 --> 03:46:27,113
way.

6084
03:46:27,113 --> 03:46:28,949
Do you want me to address

6085
03:46:28,949 --> 03:46:30,250
that to the planning table or

6086
03:46:30,250 --> 03:46:33,250
to MR. Horton? Okay, MISS

6087
03:46:33,587 --> 03:46:35,587
Milligan, you're recognized.

6088
03:46:35,722 --> 03:46:37,824
I'm happy to. I can read that

6089
03:46:37,824 --> 03:46:39,293
language again. It simply says

6090
03:46:39,293 --> 03:46:40,760
preserved and reused or

6091
03:46:40,760 --> 03:46:41,727
repurposed within the new

6092
03:46:41,727 --> 03:46:43,562
development, returned or

6093
03:46:43,562 --> 03:46:45,131
donated to the artist or

6094
03:46:45,131 --> 03:46:46,466
otherwise relocated to another

6095
03:46:46,466 --> 03:46:47,968
publicly viewable

6096
03:46:47,968 --> 03:46:49,235
okay.

6097
03:46:49,235 --> 03:46:50,804
Thank you, MISS Milligan. Go

6098
03:46:50,804 --> 03:46:51,204
ahead, MISS Styles.

6099
03:46:51,204 --> 03:46:52,705
Okay, so

6100
03:46:52,705 --> 03:46:54,107
there's there's nothing that

6101
03:46:54,107 --> 03:46:54,908
says the artist has any

6102
03:46:54,908 --> 03:46:56,509
conversation about that. That's

6103
03:46:56,509 --> 03:46:58,770
what I wanted clarity on. Thank

6104
03:46:58,770 --> 03:47:00,770

03:47:49,763 --> 03:47:52,399

Go ahead ma'am.

Thank you. I

6182
03:51:02,756 --> 03:51:03,790
just briefly wanted to bring to

6183
03:51:03,790 --> 03:51:04,758
everyone's attention we had

6184
03:51:04,758 --> 03:51:07,940
really good discussion about

6185
03:51:07,940 --> 03:51:08,162
this on council connect, so I

6186
03:51:08,162 --> 03:51:09,329
won't go through that. But

6187
03:51:09,329 --> 03:51:11,164
there were a couple of things

6188
03:51:11,164 --> 03:51:13,635
that I would have wanted to see

6189
03:51:13,635 --> 03:51:16,136
with regard to the accounting

6190
03:51:16,136 --> 03:51:17,571
and transparency around the

6191
03:51:17,571 --> 03:51:20,475
credits that are going to be

6192
03:51:20,475 --> 03:51:23,678
applied to the rental rate for

6193
03:51:23,678 --> 03:51:25,879
pencil. And I just wanted to

6194
03:51:25,879 --> 03:51:28,749
give a thank you, a big thank

6195
03:51:28,749 --> 03:51:30,317
you to ceo books for responding

6196
03:51:30,317 --> 03:51:31,351
to that in a in a really

6197
03:51:31,351 --> 03:51:32,719
awesome fashion, actually. And

6198
03:51:32,719 --> 03:51:34,488
so we are currently in the

6199
03:51:34,488 --> 03:51:35,956
process of putting together an

6200
03:51:35,956 --> 03:51:38,558
mou for pencil to do just that

6201
03:51:38,558 --> 03:51:40,294
for us to the legislative body.

6202
03:51:40,294 --> 03:51:43,463
And it's an mou just between

6203
03:51:43,463 --> 03:51:44,831
the two of us, us meaning this

6204
03:51:44,831 --> 03:51:46,567
body. And so I just wanted to

6205
03:51:46,567 --> 03:51:47,734
thank her, thank her for doing

6206
03:51:47,734 --> 03:51:48,802
that. In the interest of

6207
03:51:48,802 --> 03:51:50,137
transparency and accountability

6208
03:51:50,137 --> 03:51:51,805
and trust in between a partner

6209
03:51:51,805 --> 03:51:54,675

6210
03:51:54,675 --> 03:51:56,675

03:52:00,847 --> 03:52:02,349
see anyone else in the queue at

6214
03:52:02,349 --> 03:52:05,419

03:52:12,326 --> 03:52:13,461
We've all mispronounced

6219
03:52:13,461 --> 03:52:15,329
people's last names. I did it

6220
03:52:15,329 --> 03:52:16,530
one time to MISS Johnston and

6221
03:52:16,530 --> 03:52:18,310
she called me out for that,

6222
03:52:18,310 --> 03:52:21,310
remember? That's right. So we

6223
03:52:22,703 --> 03:52:23,604
all. We all get our mouths a

6224
03:52:23,604 --> 03:52:24,370

first name is quiet.

6227
03:52:26,390 --> 03:52:27,241
So yes, I

6228
03:52:27,241 --> 03:52:29,776
think I think MISS Johnston

6229
03:52:29,776 --> 03:52:31,612

03:54:11,345 --> 03:54:12,480
please.

6290
03:54:12,480 --> 03:54:13,480
Let's. If you would

6291
03:54:13,480 --> 03:54:14,515
please just move approval to

6292
03:54:14,515 --> 03:54:15,415
get it before us.

6293
03:54:15,415 --> 03:54:15,682
First move

6294
03:54:15,682 --> 03:54:16,784
approval.

6295
03:54:16,784 --> 03:54:18,253
Okay, now go ahead.

6296
03:54:18,253 --> 03:54:19,520
You can move your amendment.

6297
03:54:19,520 --> 03:54:19,754
Move me. Move my amendment,

6298
03:54:19,754 --> 03:54:21,754
please.

6299
03:54:24,291 --> 03:54:25,659
Okay. Properly motioned

6300
03:54:25,659 --> 03:54:27,128
and seconded. Anything you

6301
03:54:27,128 --> 03:54:28,129
would like to share about the

6302
03:54:28,129 --> 03:54:29,290
amendment at this time?

6303
03:54:29,290 --> 03:54:30,980
Yes. So

6304
03:54:30,980 --> 03:54:31,298
the amendment deletes the

6305
03:54:31,298 --> 03:54:32,633
language that ends this

6306
03:54:32,633 --> 03:54:34,668
moratorium upon the passage of

6307
03:54:34,668 --> 03:54:36,169
1391, which has already

6308
03:54:36,169 --> 03:54:37,438
happened, and it extends that

6309
03:54:37,438 --> 03:54:38,806
date from what was originally

6310
03:54:38,806 --> 03:54:40,107
put into the bill, which was

6311
03:54:40,107 --> 03:54:41,541
NOVEMBER 1st to DECEMBER 1st.

6312
03:54:41,541 --> 03:54:42,977
The that is twofold.

6313
03:54:42,977 --> 03:54:44,779
Number one, there was executive

6314
03:54:44,779 --> 03:54:46,581
order 59, which directs several

6315
03:54:46,581 --> 03:54:48,981
departments, including other as

6316
03:54:49,830 --> 03:54:50,251
well as agencies, to report

6317
03:54:50,251 --> 03:54:51,718
within two months, which would

6318
03:54:51,718 --> 03:54:53,887
be AUGUST the 15th of a

6319
03:54:53,887 --> 03:54:55,990
delivery date. The impacts of

6320
03:54:55,990 --> 03:54:58,558
such departments or agencies of

6321
03:54:58,558 --> 03:54:59,861
data center as a use. And so we

6322
03:54:59,861 --> 03:55:01,128
expect to have some legislation

6323
03:55:01,128 --> 03:55:03,640
in response to those reports.

6324
03:55:03,640 --> 03:55:05,333
And so we want to be able to

6325
03:55:05,333 --> 03:55:06,734
have time to digest those

6326
03:55:06,734 --> 03:55:07,467
reports, come up with the

6327
03:55:07,467 --> 03:55:08,703
legislation passed the

6328
03:55:08,703 --> 03:55:10,703
legislation before anything

6329
03:55:11,239 --> 03:55:12,907
could move forward. Also, as we

6330
03:55:12,907 --> 03:55:14,275
saw tonight, there were several

6331
03:55:14,275 --> 03:55:15,410
amendments that were not moved.

6332
03:55:15,410 --> 03:55:17,245
There are several amendments

6333
03:55:17,245 --> 03:55:19,280
that were not even brought

6334
03:55:19,280 --> 03:55:21,215
forth because we all had a have

6335
03:55:21,215 --> 03:55:22,316
a collective thought process

6336
03:55:22,316 --> 03:55:25,190
that that getting something on

6337
03:55:25,190 --> 03:55:27,655
the books tonight is imperative.

6338
03:55:27,655 --> 03:55:29,230
And so let's not the, the

6339
03:55:29,230 --> 03:55:30,557
perfect be the enemy of good.

6340
03:55:30,557 --> 03:55:33,610
And so we wanted to do that.

6341
03:55:33,610 --> 03:55:34,950
And so I appreciate everyone's

6342
03:55:34,950 --> 03:55:35,562
cooperation with that and

6343
03:55:35,562 --> 03:55:37,962
everybody's support in that.

6344
03:55:38,660 --> 03:55:40,468
And so this also gives us time

6345
03:55:40,468 --> 03:55:42,203
to do the good work of refining

6346
03:55:42,203 --> 03:55:43,838
this policy, as I think some of

6347
03:55:43,838 --> 03:55:45,940
us have some concerns around

6348
03:55:45,940 --> 03:55:48,340
some environmental things. Et

6349
03:55:48,575 --> 03:55:49,910
cetera. Et cetera. And so I

6350
03:55:49,910 --> 03:55:51,450
renew my motion to approve the

6351
03:55:51,450 --> 03:55:52,790
amendment, please.

6352
03:55:52,790 --> 03:55:54,790
Okay. Is

6353
03:55:54,749 --> 03:55:56,284
there any further discussion on

6354
03:55:56,284 --> 03:55:58,860
the amendment? MISS Porterfield,

6355
03:55:58,860 --> 03:55:59,353
do you seek to be recognized on

6356
03:55:59,353 --> 03:56:00,821
the amendments? Okay. Go ahead,

6357
03:56:00,821 --> 03:56:01,889
ma'am.

6358
03:56:01,889 --> 03:56:03,658
Thank you, vice mayor. I

6359
03:56:03,658 --> 03:56:06,127
rise in support of the

6360
03:56:06,127 --> 03:56:07,595
amendment. I think it's no

6361
03:56:07,595 --> 03:56:10,464
surprise to everyone that I was

6362
03:56:10,464 --> 03:56:11,633
against the bill initially. My

6363
03:56:11,633 --> 03:56:13,401
concerns have now been

6364
03:56:13,401 --> 03:56:16,237
addressed. My concern was that

6365
03:56:16,237 --> 03:56:18,773
this bill was only until 1391

6366
03:56:18,773 --> 03:56:20,174
passed, and that upon the

6367
03:56:20,174 --> 03:56:21,708
passage of 1391, there would

6368
03:56:21,708 --> 03:56:23,510
not be a need for a moratorium.

6369
03:56:23,510 --> 03:56:26,281
But now that the date is

6370
03:56:26,281 --> 03:56:27,815
extended to DECEMBER 1st, I am

6371
03:56:27,815 --> 03:56:29,490
happy to support it. So I'm

6372
03:56:29,490 --> 03:56:30,840
standing in support and I

6373
03:56:30,840 --> 03:56:30,184
wanted to explain that.

6374
03:56:30,184 --> 03:56:31,419
All

6375
03:56:31,419 --> 03:56:33,530
right. Thank you so much.

6376
03:56:33,530 --> 03:56:34,222
Cuncil member styles. You seek

6377
03:56:34,222 --> 03:56:36,622
to be recognized specifically

6378
03:56:39,294 --> 03:56:42,950
on the motion to amend. Okay.

6379
03:56:42,950 --> 03:56:43,298
With that, then we will move to

6380
03:56:43,298 --> 03:56:44,564
the vote on the amendment. All

6381
03:56:44,564 --> 03:56:47,564
in favor of the amendment,

6382
03:56:47,567 --> 03:56:50,805
please say aye. Any voting no.

6383
03:56:50,805 --> 03:56:52,607
Any abstaining? Okay. So the

6384
03:56:52,607 --> 03:56:54,409
amendment is on. Do you want to

6385
03:56:54,409 --> 03:56:57,409
renew your motion to approve,

6386
03:56:58,346 --> 03:57:00,140
as amended? Go ahead, ma'am.

6387
03:57:00,140 --> 03:57:00,714
Renew my motion to approve as

6388
03:57:00,714 --> 03:57:00,915
amended, please.

6389
03:57:00,915 --> 03:57:02,649
Thank you.

6390
03:57:02,649 --> 03:57:04,184
Properly seconded. Is there any

6391
03:57:04,184 --> 03:57:05,887
discussion on the motion to

6392
03:57:05,887 --> 03:57:08,887
approve on third and final

6393
03:57:09,190 --> 03:57:11,326
reading, as amended. Okay. MISS

6394
03:57:11,326 --> 03:57:13,326
Styles, you're recognized.

6395
03:57:13,460 --> 03:57:14,896
Thank you. I just wanted to say

6396
03:57:14,896 --> 03:57:16,364
thank you again to the sponsor

6397
03:57:16,364 --> 03:57:17,464
for doing this. I think

6398
03:57:17,464 --> 03:57:19,232
moratorium is the smartest

6399
03:57:19,232 --> 03:57:21,340
thing to do so that nothing can

6400
03:57:21,340 --> 03:57:23,103
happen. We have some time to

6401
03:57:23,103 --> 03:57:24,605
really think things through and

6402
03:57:24,605 --> 03:57:26,740
not rush into making some

6403
03:57:26,740 --> 03:57:27,241
decisions. So I'm just

6404
03:57:27,241 --> 03:57:28,760
appreciative. Thank you,

6405
03:57:28,760 --> 03:57:28,643
councilmember johnston.

6406
03:57:28,643 --> 03:57:30,643
All

6407
03:57:31,144 --> 03:57:32,947
right. Any additional

6408
03:57:32,947 --> 03:57:34,315
discussion on this bill, as

6409
03:57:34,315 --> 03:57:35,817
amended, on its third and final

6410
03:57:35,817 --> 03:57:37,685
reading? Seeing none. All in

6411
03:57:37,685 --> 03:57:40,685
favor, please say aye. Any

6412
03:57:40,787 --> 03:57:42,290
voting? No. Any abstaining?

6413
03:57:42,290 --> 03:57:45,593
Okay. This has passed its third

6414
03:57:45,593 --> 03:57:46,994
and final reading, as amended.

6415
03:57:46,994 --> 03:57:47,929
That concludes this evening's

6416
03:57:47,929 --> 03:57:49,831
agenda. Our next council

6417
03:57:49,831 --> 03:57:50,932
meeting will be on tuesday,

6418
03:57:50,932 --> 03:57:53,801
AUGUST the 4th. Is there a

6419
03:57:53,801 --> 03:57:56,801
motion to adjourn? We are

6420
03:58:04,245 --> 03:58:05,312
adjourned.

6421
03:58:05,312 --> 03:58:07,114
