“Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't have a committee report, but I would like to report on the Lunch and Learn that the council had over at the CHAT Foundation today. Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, for organizing that. While we only had two members of council participate, we did have a really good discussion. Casey Tinker from the city joined us, as well as Mackenzie Kelly from the Chattanooga Regional Homeless Coalition. And representing the CHAT Foundation, in addition to their staff, We were joined by Mayor Ron Littlefield and members of their board. It was a good, open conversation that I…”

“Thank you. Thank you, Charles. One question. The lackluster return that you all were collected, $16,000 and change through amnesty and payment assistance, remind us how much is out there in outstanding tickets?”

“I would encourage you to think about, if you haven't already, some type of easy brochure or card that could be handed out to every tourist that comes to the visitor center to say, this is the best way to get parking. I'm not sure what those lots are at the aquarium. I know we've got some pretty predatory lots near there, so they may already have been burned. But I think the more... positive peer pressure we can provide, the more likely we will have for other lots to come on. I mean, I think this red lot that you have on your slide, y'all, you might notice it's a $96 daily rate in this little…”

“Thank you. Ethan, I appreciate you being willing to talk with counsel today. I'll be honest, when I saw that you were up for an appointment, I was pretty surprised because I was shocked that you would be willing to do it again. I personally was really disappointed in the way that the changes happened and spoke to that when it did. And I want to thank you for your long service on the Planning Commission. When I served on Planning Commission, I definitely got the full taste of just how complex those cases are, the amount of homework that you have to do to be prepared. And to Ethan's point about…”

“And in addition to bringing your walking shoes, I'd like to go ahead and tell the wedding industry in Chattanooga to get ready because I predict within a year we will have a wedding boom. And I also think our maternity wards ought to get ready. Because I think nine months out, I think people are psyched, and that is a bridge of love. Ronald's looking at me. You've got to take your girl over there. You never know what will happen. That's all, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Okay.”

“Thank you. So this plot process has been an interesting conversation in District 2 recently, because we have a very large piece of property that's being cleared. And in fact, it's so large that the land disturbance is a very small portion of the property, even though it's a huge amount of land being disturbed. And what I've been advised is that this falls under that Second element of when a subdivision plat is not approved is not required with the potential that all all Tracts of land are greater than five acres and no street or utility is being constructed so my question is When do those…”

“So, Councilwoman Dottley, thank you for providing an itemized list of your suggested amendments to this item. As I've looked at this proposal, the thing that has been important to me is improving meaningful participation in council work. And actually today I just happened upon, I was looking at my drafts folder. I don't know if y'all get stuff stuck in there sometimes. But I had a draft email that I wrote to myself as like a little to-do list from the 15th of July last year saying, examine ways to make committee work more meaningful. And it's just interesting that we had spoken about it when…”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. Under Resolutions Item B for next week, the applicant and the RPA team, our LDO team, have worked together to clarify the the issues. So a new version of this will be coming will be announced on the public agenda on Friday. It's a very small change. As we will see it, it will seem small, but it's important that it be in there. But we're going to have it as a new version. And that'll be there for voting next week. Thank you.”

“Yeah, I have a question about item 1a under economic development. This is a grant that we are applying for for a build out of the health clinic on the west side. It's going to, it says in the explanatory note that it's a, the match will come from a James A. Henry earmark. So my question is, who is going to run this clinic? Will we have an MOU for management of the clinic? And then who will be eligible to receive care in this clinic?”

“Okay, that could be a terrific, a terrific model. Thank you. And that is, well, Mr. Chair, I would, another item, these Office of the City Attorney, the several that we need to re-approve, I would ask that we consider when the time comes doing that as some type of consent agenda or taking them as a package.”

“Thank you. I will not be voting in support of this quorum amendment or the second quorum amendment. I hear my colleagues' concern from District 8 about the thought that in some way the current language limits people from participating in voting. I do not see that to be structurally true within this language as currently written. So I will be voting against this one and the following. I will not speak if another is brought up at that quorum. Thank you. That's all.”

“I have to say, when I read the article in the paper, because that came out before council was made aware of these ideas, I think I audibly gasped at the idea of building a shelter for 400 to 500 people in a single location. I'll be interested to hear what my colleagues think about that concentration of folks. I also want to express now the concern that I have about the way that your current property is maintained. And when I, hearing your statements that the Martin Luther King neighborhood asked questions like, will there be enough case managers? That sounds to me a whole lot like a, is there…”

“Thank you. Thanks for giving us one more time, Mr. Chair. So I will... I really appreciate, Sherita, how you did this report. I do have questions about how I feel my colleagues will ask a lot of the same ones, so I'm going to not go for that. But I would, while you're here with us, I'd appreciate it if you could give us an update on the IDB's decision yesterday. It is related to the Bend TIF. The Bend TIF. And while we're not officially going over a TIF annual report, it's something that the council needs to hear about today while we're here. So, Mr. Chair, it's up to you if you want to hear…”
