3:20 – 5:18Speaker 4

President, Suprabhadam. Happy to see you. Council, happy to see all of you. Suprabhadam to the public. To those who were in the chamber this morning, As the Madam President and Council did not remember, due to the closure of yesterday's business day, in all routes this week, the pick-up and re-use pick-up schedules will be postponed one day. That is, the pick-up for Monday pick-ups will be postponed today. The pick-up for Wednesday pick-ups will be postponed on Wednesday. After Friday, that is, on September 11, the regular pick-up schedule will resume. When it comes to Employer's Day, I expect that you will get the opportunity to spend your day with your family. As well as all the activities they do for the city and the residents, it is a great event for all the citizens of our city. As mentioned, this September 11th is Friday. This Friday, 9-1-1, the city of Birmingham will remember and reflect on the events that took place in the last 25 days of the pandemic. After 9 a.m. in the morning, the community invites you to join us in front of the CET Hall at 15 minutes. At this time, Madam President and Counsel, Counselor Sonia Smith, Director of Lifespan Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center, and Director of the Pediatric Cell Clinic of Children's in Alabama, Maya Doctor. If there are other guests with Jeffrey Ellensberger, I would like to join them here in Vethi. Madam President and Council, I apologize. I think it's important to say that a person's name is Liebensberger correctly. Happy New Year to everyone. Happy New Year.

5:18 – 7:27Speaker 3

I'm happy to see you all. Madam President, Council, SIGL is the most common bloodline in our country. A group that gains history. SIGL affects more than one million people in our country. Therefore, today we want to continue to create awareness about this disease and its effects. Likewise, we want to support the men and women who fight against it every day. In that, you are a small group of men and women standing behind me. One of the ways we want to do it is not only about this disease, but also to accept the difficulties it causes. Therefore, I will read an article that says that in Alabama, more than 5,000 people are suffering from sick cell disease and 11 black children are born with a sick cell-like condition. The activity of SCDD in the evening is also the cause of serious pain, but unfortunately, it is also the cause of death. With the help of the Sixth Cell Disease Association of America in Alabama, the children of Alabama, and the Sixth Cell Disease Association of America in Central Alabama, the city of Birmingham is hoping to make a change by bringing awareness to others. Not only through diversity, but also through the work of observation, we are trying to find one work a day with the help of the hard work of the men and women who stand here again. So I became the Mayor of Birmingham City, Randall L. Woodin District 8's CET Councilor, Sonia Smith, announced the 6th year anniversary of the Birmingham CET Council in September, 2026. Now I need to come to the doctor and share a few words with him. He wants to come here to share more information with others.

7:33 – 17:04Speaker 2

Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. As the Mayor said, this affects 350 African-Americans. Many of them have sickle cell disease. But near our country, as the Mayor said, there are 5,000 sick with sickle cell disease. Jefferson County has 877 people, 3 of them, of which 309 are children under the age of 19. Sickle cell disease is a chronic pain. Painful symptoms may come unnoticed at any time. This is often the cause of long-term constipation, loss of school days, and loss of work. In addition, when the red blood cells of the liver pass through all the organs in the body, the damage is not only caused by pain. This leads to a chronic disease that lasts for a lifetime. The burden of living as an incurable disease is also affecting mental health. Moreover, many of our patients suffer from that burden silently. Therefore, even though all these things exist, the sickle cell does not function well. We would like our patients to see, hear and listen to anyone who lives as an incurable disease. Therefore, I would like to thank Mayor Woodin and the board members for being with us today. We would like to introduce some of our sick families and community boards, who are struggling together to save the lives of children and elders who are suffering from sickle cell diseases. Thank you. My name is Adrienne Pickett and I am a member of the UAB LifeCell Medical Clinic. I would like to thank all of you for allowing us to share our stories in our great city. I am the sister and mother of two doctors. When my brother was young, we did not have the resources and resources to work for him. But my son Rayan has now got opportunities that only my brother can dream of. I would like to thank the city for this initiative that can be applied for the protection of our youth and community services. Again, thank you for your time. Good morning, Mayor Woodin, CET Council members, members of our Birmingham community. My name is Joni Thondhan. Today, I am standing in front of you to talk about a young man named Sean Baker, who is the head of the Klee Cell and Avaabodha month. Sean is my son, not my son-in-law. He died of his own will. When I met my wife, Sean was only 5 years old. When our relationship grew, I realized that he was living with sickle cell disease. To be honest, I didn't know much about it at that time. But I knew one important thing. If I was going to be a part of his mother's life, I was also going to be a part of his life. So I did as many mothers who loved their children did without any answers. I started to study. I bought books. I did research on the disease. I learned about pain relief, blessings, treatment methods, and the great things that families do every day. I wanted to understand his experiences. So I was able to get to know him as much as I could. Even so, what I could never learn from a book was the strength of that little girl whom I had in mind. Today, Shi is 15 years old and is a proud student of Ramsey High School. He is a great student. He enjoys serving in the Student Government Association. He is a member of the National Honor Society and the Mu Alpha Theta National Mathematics Honor Society, some of his friends. He likes to study in our school. He likes to play golf. He likes to read poetry. He dreams of becoming a paediatric hematologist to help children with sickle cell disease. When most people look at Shawn, they see a great difference. I can see that too. But I also see a child who has to endure pain that many parents cannot even imagine. I see the courage to move forward when you struggle in a struggle that no one can see in your body. I see resistance. I see determination. I see a warrior. Approximately 1 lakh Americans live with sickle cell disease. Children in Alabama have been diagnosed with this disease for more than 1,000 years. But today I would like you not to think about the current statistics. Each group has a child like Shawn. A child with dreams. A child with skills. A child with dreams. A child with dreams. A child with dreams. A child with dreams. Gaveshwana Dhanasahayam is not about medical science. It is about expectation. It is about creating great achievements and about maintaining life. It is about reducing the time to care for families and helping to spend more time on life. One day it is about finding peace of mind. I often think about the five-year-old boy I met years ago. Today I am looking at that young man. A scholar, leader, servant, doctor. Is there a way to change the world for children like Sean? Will we do everything we can to get them there? So today I would like to request you to support the advocacy of the government and to ensure the safety of the lives of players in Clare's Cell. Because each child is given the opportunity to fulfill their dreams. Each child is given hope and each child is given a future. Thank you. Superbatham Mayor, Madam President and Council Personnel Sonia Smith, CET Council members will not be here today. I am Monica Mason, Executive Director of the Central Alabama Sickle Cell Disease Association. I would like to thank the Association, our Director Board, and our staff for accepting the month of September as the month of sickle cell in the name of the people and families we serve. Sickle cell is more than a disease. It affects people, families, acquaintances, and communities every day. Those who live with the disease will have a significant change in their lives due to the introduction, education, diseases, symptoms, and symptoms. This phenomenon is meaningful because awareness is important. This helps to give more vision to sickle cell disease and reduces anxiety. In addition, it reminds our society that it is important to see, hear, touch, and encourage people with sickle cell disease. We encourage our community to know more about sickle cell disease throughout September, to support those who live with it, and to help us build a strong bond between us and Alabama. Mayor and CET Council members, our sickle cell warriors, their families, and our entire sickle cell community, thank you for being with us. We are grateful for your participation in helping us develop this recognition and awareness. Thank you. Thank you all for your attention. And I am going to announce this announcement. The Mayor's report ends here. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mayor Whitman, for giving us this opportunity to properly acknowledge all the disasters in the city of Birmingham along with this cloud. We know that this disease is a very painful and painful disease. I am very excited about the new activities that are taking place now. I have already demonstrated how the lives of the people who are affected by the current activities have changed. Therefore, I would like to thank you all again for promoting clean cell awareness in Birmingham for the activities you are doing. I agree that there is a councillor and a councillor and any right in the city of Hewtown. So thank you very much. I am happy to see you. Let me say that we have two extremely pink women with us and they are very excited. I congratulate Ms. Leo Wiggins, the former president of District 7 residents and Omron Omega Chapter. Thank you all. That's all. Mayor W, thank you very much for saying that you can do it. At this time, I am asking the councillors if they can withdraw from our agenda and allow the next election. Today morning, Councillor Daryl O'Quinn is conducting an election. Dr. O'Quinn, super badam.

17:04Speaker 4

Thank you, Madam President. Today morning, Elias Hendricks is with us to tell us the latest news from Vox Porta.

17:14 – 22:27Speaker 3

Okay. Suprabatham to everyone. I am very happy to see your happy faces here. Suprabatham. Today, I have another amazing opportunity for you to improve the community. As you know, I am also the creator of a style called Classical Soul. I have brought you different activities in the past few years. This is very exciting for me. And this year, we are participating in the Opera Birmingham. Opera Birmingham's Executive Director Nadali Beran is bringing you the latest version of the classical solo opera opera Re-Imagine. The opera is called Um Opera Birmingham Regal To Um. It's a wonderful story. For hundreds of years, we have been using the language of speech, RAP, R&B, and not only creating a full experience of knowing and loving operas, but also using a method that shows the community that music is all one. And I don't want to get into that. But we use Stoke characters. For example, there is a character called Duke. I like to call him a playboy. He talks about his money and about women and talks about everything. So we call him Rap. A character called Andrew is a girl. So we use R&B from other R&B artists in Brandy and combine those characters. Therefore, the first act of this show, Opera Reimagine, will be sung with all the best songs in 45 minutes with a regal tone. In the second half, I will bring a box to make my vocal group a classical soul. All this is done in Sloth Furnace. Therefore, in one of our premier event spaces in the city, I gave an example event from their family. Also, artists from various parts of the country are going to join us here. I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity. You helped me to create a very important cultural moment for the city with the help of this song. This is one of the reasons why I truly believe that the partnership we are creating here with Opera Birmingham will lead us to different places throughout the country in the coming years. Therefore, I hope that you will be able to see how this plant grows in the coming years as an incubator city in Birmingham. Therefore, I believe that I had a slide to show you. Um, but, or, yes, it is amazing. If you want to go to the end, Um, I will do it. Then you can see there. These are the clouds that we use for the actual show. Next slide. and show you the formula we use here. It is an outdoor-indoors shed. We use all the local sound and lighting engineers to make a show for you. We make pre-show cordials and use every part of the sloth furnace. We also have an after-party. There will be a curated playlist for a DJ to give fellowship to all the networks. Next slide. and only a few names that we use. You will notice some of us here. And, of course, Alison Sanders, another wonderful local figure who has worked with me for years. Jose Maldonado is a wonderful baritone flying for this. Sati Goodman is a local soprano. We are raising him for this. Next slide. Next slide. Next slide. This is where we go. Sponsorship is what we need. There are a number of places that you can visit as a member of your own district, including the Mayor's office. Each one of you will receive a level ticket at this level. It will be given to you to make it a part of the community, and you will be able to see it in each of your districts. There are only 500 seats for one show, but there are two shows. Then you may have a name sponsorship at this level, or if you want to buy tickets to all your organizations, you can do that. Anyway, I want as many people in our society as possible to be part of this. Nathalie, do you have anything? Can you speak quickly? Yes.

22:27 – 24:13Speaker 2

I want to talk to music. I want to talk about how important all kinds of music are. Music is our soul. It is very important for all the people of all ages, from the birth to the experience and the opportunity to be a part of it. Opera changed my life. Opera took me to the world. I am from Vincent, Alabama. I grew up in a farm in Vincent, Alabama. I have mostly lived in all the countries on this planet. I think I should give the opportunities I have to others by experiencing this music. Opera is beautiful. This is an attempt to understand because it is in another language. However, if we can create something new and different to talk to those who do not fully understand, they will be interested. They will start going to less and less to one. It is more like a full opera. On the one hand, they may like it. On the other hand, they may not like it. But the thing is that they need that opportunity. Now there is this song. There is this song. That. Because it is not in the mind, it prevents all new people from wanting to go to this art form. This is an opportunity to do so. Thank you very much for your time today. I hope that you will support it and help your communities to promote this kind of art. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you for bringing these details. Thank you very much.

24:13 – 25:05Speaker 4

I remember seeing an announcement there before. This comes with some important announcements. Especially the trains passing through Paschatthala. Wormingham Children's Theatre. Train horn. They started singing that song when they reached the crossing. Then... You are very happy to hear this. You know, this is a classical art form. As you said, this is often a language that we do not know. And this is because of that. Thank you. I would like to present this to you.

25:32 – 25:52Speaker 3

And this will be on November 6th and November 7th. And we want you to participate personally. I encourage you to help us make our city a part of this. So I am definitely grateful for being in front of you all the time. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you for bringing this announcement to us. Councilor Woods.

26:01 – 26:12Speaker 4

Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to thank Mr. Henry for what you have done in the past. I think it will bring great achievements to the city. So we want you to continue to succeed in it. But thank you to your government. Thank you. I thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

30:13 – 30:43Speaker 2

Thank you, councillors. This was an item that was removed from our agenda from August 25 to date. It is also about accepting the fact of a Ford Explorer. The question that was raised at that time to change this was a question from the 2011 Commission. Our minutes from the 2011 Commission are in front of you.

32:39 – 33:27Speaker 2

This is an ordinance that allows the mayor to run a karar in the city of Birmingham to move to our own Park Street, which was previously known as Hill School. If you have any discussion or questions related to this initiative, budget, financial committee and community development committee have agreed to this before. Okay, we are ready to hold a vote.

34:19Speaker 2

Thank you, councillors. You requested that councillor Smith withdraw from this agreement. And yes, what changes are there in the second decree?

34:36Speaker 3

Um, Madam President, Council Smithernode, Theodivibuligaranam oru maasathekku maattuka maatram aadu cheyennada.

34:59 – 35:32Speaker 4

On the 36th of Minam, a general hearing was held on October 20, 2026, according to the Southern Area Framework Plan, which was submitted to all properties in the Southern Framework Area, according to the Southern Area Framework Plan, which was submitted to all properties in the Southern Area Framework Plan, which was submitted to all properties in the Southern Area Framework Plan, according to the Crestline Community, Crestwood Community, Red Mountain Community, etc. According to the Crestwood Community, Crestwood Community, etc. According to the Crestwood Community, Crestwood Community, etc. According to the Crestwood Community, Crestwood Community, etc. Since UC is not required, this is a hearing session. Okay.

35:35 – 35:53Speaker 2

Thank you, councillors. This is an order to establish a general hearing on October 26th to accept an ordinance that would change all properties in the Southern Area Framework Plan to zone districts. Again, we are voting today to establish a general hearing on October 26th. Do you have any questions about approving that order? I do. Do you have any questions about the order? Yes, yes, sir.

36:02 – 37:14Speaker 4

These are some of the emails I sent to the committee chairmen. There is an ordinance in our books that allows us to take a higher position. I think that we have to accept it before we accept it. Because there is a possibility that someone will come and change the position. Have you checked the oldenance through the input? Before accepting the method for the Tekken Area Framework, change that oldenance. What can we do? Again, we are assuring the accuracy. Then, general. Your question is to change the accuracy of the hearing. Okay, I don't know if it is useful to have a high oldenance. I don't know if I will be able to accept a higher ordinance draft before October 20. So my question is more about who might be Kim Sparrow or who might not be Kim Sparrow.

37:15 – 37:30Speaker 2

So your promise is that you will not approve this amendment, and that you will approve another amendment. Promise. Yes. If we get the opportunity to speak to the staff about the proposal here, and

37:38Speaker 4

Council Williams sent an invasion two or three weeks ago, as you may know. There have been some gunfights there and there.

37:49 – 38:21Speaker 2

But I'm not sure if we got a satisfactory answer. So, again, Pramayam must confirm another decision. Since we are connected to any other entity that we have accepted, we cannot discuss this today. Until today, this decision is to be confirmed. So, if you want to confirm another decision, or if we want to postpone it, it will be in the Parliamentary Laws. Yes. Council.

38:21Speaker 4

Yes. I was going to ask you. Do you think it is enough time for all of you to do this in public? Or do you think it will take more time? Because we are doing this in public.

38:29 – 38:50Speaker 2

I'm not trying to stop you from doing anything. I would like to make directions. What we are advertising is that they have brought this in front of us. So what we need is for them to bring us in front of us even if they have to go through that process. So we have to make them wait for this public hearing. Wait. Let me answer this question. Do you understand that part?

38:54Speaker 3

Yes, that's what I tried to do. Yes, make sure that we don't need to advertise it. If we don't make it right, we don't have to give it away. That's why we need to stay for a long time. Counselor Williams, if you have any questions, we will answer them.

39:03 – 39:29Speaker 4

But yes, after our meeting, if the staff is not able to complete it by the 20th, we will postpone it. But it may be appropriate for all of you to agree. Yes, that's it. Madam President. Doctor.

39:57 – 40:45Speaker 2

This is my dream. Now, this is the second time this hearing is being presented. Um. Do you know what is less? Tekken UH. You can send flyers that know all the prices in the framework area. Therefore, Um. We must be ready in the name of the innocent. And, you know, we are taking all the information we need forward with confidence. And that's why I'm keeping that in mind. Okay, okay. So, do you have a plan to make this hearing happen or are we going with the plan they're giving us? I- I don't know what you're trying to say.

40:51 – 42:14Speaker 4

That's why we've made it public once. That public hearing has to be cancelled. That's why I don't want to send public notices again until we're ready. If I remember correctly, these are the last words we received from the PEP. They thought that it was related to the construction of buildings that could be built and the construction of building units that could be built. And, if I remember correctly, in the past, none of the developers had made use of the way the zoning code has been designed to build building units that could be built. So, you know, I don't want to put words in other people's mouths, but do you know? It has not given a big boost to the development. Yes, I think that's true.

42:14 – 42:45Speaker 2

Because the elevations in these residential areas of development can be changed very much, my wish is that it does not give a boost to the development. Um, sherry.

42:46Speaker 4

Yes. This will be a two-way process to ensure that this bill is not approved and to ensure that public hearings are not held.

42:53 – 43:10Speaker 2

We... We don't think we should do that. Can we vote in favor of it or against it? Vote for this proposal. Yes. Okay. That will take them back to six weeks. Or... This is a discussion that we can have if we don't vote.

43:15 – 43:28Speaker 4

Okay, if it is announced once, it will be postponed to six weeks. If we don't approve this amendment today, we can try to approve another amendment next week. Okay, okay. Then?

43:28 – 44:11Speaker 2

There is no objection. Then we will vote for it, or it will be reduced. Okay, is everyone clear about what our approach is? We will complete that conversation and we will vote. We are ready to vote. Yes, sir. Okay, that number did not pass. Next number.

44:11Speaker 4

or it should be in the agenda.
