“No, we discussed this at public safety meeting. I'd like to make sure that we place these in areas that aren't sort of overdoing bumps and having bumps too close to stop signs or intersections where they're going to slow down, but other than that, I trust that that'll be done. And other than that, I have no other questions. And I also think we should do the neighboring areas as well.”

“there's no second that motion dies do I have a different motion can I make a motion to to approve number two under actions placement of the four speed bumps with the caveat that we will study the feasibility of three speed bumps on Carolina Avenue first to see whether or not that makes sense. If not, leave it to the expertise of our folks to place four if they see that three won't work.”

“I think we talked about this, as Councilwoman Holder said in our committee meeting, can't wait until you get a new system because I think there will be much better dashboards and much less manual work. Thank you for doing this. That's all I have.”

“Yeah, I think this is kind of the definition of cutting red tape. To be able to allow the public to come to our committee meetings and anything that's still on our consent agenda would be able to be spoken about in public comments for things like a stop sign a couple of weeks ago. I think... I think the efficiency that we gain outweighs a process that just slows down something that should, that staff should be able to make that decision along with the committee.”

“Thanks. One question I have, and I think I know the answer, but could you articulate, you've got management recommendations, right? What's the problem that paid parking solves that the management recommendations can't solve alone?”

“And I'm not advocating for it either, but if there were, if we wanted to look at some form of paid parking, what would a recommended pilot look like in order to be able to know whether or not it accomplishes what the intended outcome was from a paid.”

“Thanks for this. Just curious, are there, I saw in every zone, maximum height is at 35?”
City Council · Sep 21, 2026

“Has there ever been consideration for maximum heights depending on the character of the neighborhood? In other words, if all homes are single story, a certain size, on a very, very small street, and then someone wants to build really maximum height structure next to next to it or in the middle of it has that ever come up or has that ever been considered to look at those or is there a way to you know sort of look at those one by one on a case by case that has not come up I wonder how that would be”

“No, I understand. No, it's clear. It's clear. Okay. Good enough. There may be something that I propose to the committee.”

“It seems like there may be spillover parking right on other streets in some cases. So are there tools that we have that sort of would mitigate that if that starts happening? If there's a developer, not enough parking, they start spilling over to other streets, eliminating parking there?”

“No questions other than I want to thank the donor as well. Each of our neighborhoods are important and every neighborhood needs to be inviting and needs to have its own character. It's nice to have destinations all over the city and it doesn't matter which community that you enter. So designs look good to me, mainly because I know nothing about design. But other than that, they look pretty good. Thanks.”

“No questions really. I think it all makes sense to get clarification. No comments or questions.”

“In terms of the $500 loan forgiveness, is there a possibility that that's not guaranteed, is it? Or there's a possibility that we may not receive that?”

“Okay. I just wanted to sort of address the last council meeting just a little bit and, you know, I had a chance to reflect after the meeting and I think it's important that we continue to treat everyone on committee as an individual. Backgrounds, life experiences, they'll inform our positions. But we can't assume why anyone votes a certain way because of those experiences. And I hope that, and as I said last time, I hope to challenge, and we challenge each other's ideas and assumptions, but we shouldn't make assumptions about their motivations. And the last thing I'll say is disagreement on…”

“No comment. I will like to see things like this go to the safety committee. I'll have to understand why it's already not. I'll get that information from you at some other time, but it makes sense to me.”

“Thanks for the work on this. The one thing that I would request is a 12-month report, penalties, inspections we've done, and any business impact that it's had, just so we can stay on top of that. And then, obviously, an education-first posture here before any penalties are assessed. Yes, sir. Thank you.”

“You might want to stay up here, Todd. I just want to make sure I'm following because... got lost a little bit between five and six and all that. So most of what you were discussing was six, correct? Yes, sir. All of what I was discussing is six. And so what I heard was is that if six were the option, I believe I heard that it would delay or it would redirect dollars from other projects, is that right? Did I hear correctly?”

“and otherwise we could try to find another source. And then if we were to choose five, would that be sort of lost dollars in work if later on we decided we really wanted to do six and find the funding for it? In other words, we pave sections with what's already scheduled, we supplement that, right, we pave. then we want to do the intersections and the complete improvements. We would have to repave again, is that correct?”

“OK. And 1B is two speed bumps on two separate streets. Sorry, can you explain? Four speed bumps.”
City Council · Sep 8, 2026

“and that's to prevent from redirect of traffic trying to get around the speed bump. Well, you know, first of all, a full public disclosure, I live on Carver Street, but I promise it's not because I live on Carver Street, but it is, but it does lend itself to me knowing what the issues are. If you're getting to this nice, new, beautiful community center from downtown and you want to encourage walking, Carver Street is where you're going. And today, there are lots of falling hazards. There's footprints that folks can trip over. And like the manager said, there are utility poles that have…”

“Well, when we discussed this, and obviously there was some opposition, but we ended up that these funds would go to infrastructure projects in the Rosenwald fund. And at that time, and I still believe the same way is that those should be visible projects. And especially since we do have another fund specifically earmarked for sewer. I think those are the funds that we should use for this. And the $25,000 in that fund, represents a pretty small percentage, whereas in this fund, they represent a really large percentage. And I appreciate the fact that there's a lot of projects that because it's…”

“Yeah, I just, you know, I want to try to reiterate in case... Folks didn't hear my first comments. $25,000 on an $88,000 budget is a pretty large percentage. I'm terrible at math. I'm sure somebody knows what that is. $25,000 on a $2.4 million budget. I'm not sure why we're even discussing it, to be honest. Take it out of the fund that water sewer is meant for water and sewer. And if all you need is $25,000, I'm not sure why it needs to come out of anywhere other than the water and sewer budget. It's not like there's $500,000 shortfall where we need to find other areas. $25,000 taken out of…”
