[Addresses to the Council]

THANK YOET ME REMIND THOSE ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL TO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING ANY PROFANITY OR MAKING DEROGATORY STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE FIRST SPEAKER, RAY BARKER. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RAY BARKER. I'M COMMONLY KNOWN AS SIR FRIENDLY. SEE I'M HERE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ABOUT A PRAYER VIGIL THAT WE WILL BE HAVING THIS SATURDAY AT JEFFERSON PARK. RIGHT THERE AT SIXTH AND JEFFERSON. I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY GO OVER A FOUR POINT ACTION PLAN AS A RESULT OF THIS PRAYER VISION. THE PRAYER VIGIL ITSELF IS THE VEHICLE THAT BINDS US TOGETHER. POINT NUMBER ONE, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INJECTION OF GOD IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU ALL THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WORD GOD SUBSTITUTED FOR LOVE, I LOVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I LOVE KENTUCKY, I LOVE LOUISVILLE, AND YES, METRO COUNCIL. I LOVE YOU GUYS TOO. AND YOU ALL CAN SHOW SOME LOVE BY BEING AT THAT PRAYER VIGIL THIS SATURDAY AT 6

[00:10:03]

P.M. NUMBER TWO UNITY. IT DOESN'T TAKE A MASS SHOOTING OR A TORNADO OR A FLOOD FOR US TO RALLY TOGETHER AND SAY, WE'RE PROUD TO KNOW YOU AND WE WANT TO HELP YOU. WE CAN MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO UNIFY OURSELVES. AND RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T THINK OF ANY SINGLE ISSUE OTHER THAN VIOLENCE TO UNIFY US AND GET US TO COME TOGETHER, TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS. AND YES, ONCE AGAIN, YOU ALL CAN CHOOSE TO UNIFY WITH YOUR COMMUNITY BY BEING AT THIS PRAYER VIGIL. THIS SATURDAY AT 6 P.M. NUMBER THREE, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. YOU KNOW, AS LEGISLATORS, YOU ALL COME UP WITH POLICY, BUT SOMETIMES YOU GET IT WRONG. AND IN FRANKFORT, THEY GOT IT WRONG.

HERE IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSE TO SELL EGGS, A LICENSE TO SELL CIGARETTES, A LICENSE TO GO FISHING, A LICENSE TO GET MARRIED. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSE FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT TO CARRY A GUN. THEY DID AWAY WITH THAT. AND THAT'S WRONG, BECAUSE ALL THE LICENSE DID WAS MAKE YOU BE EDUCATED AS TO THE WEAPON THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU. IT DIDN'T HINDER YOUR, YOUR ABILITY TO GET A GUN. AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY TO THINK ABOUT, BECAUSE THAT LAW NEEDS TO BE REPEALED. IT'S STUPID. TO NOT HAVE A LICENSE FOR THAT, BUT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. AND BY THE WAY, IF LICENSES ARE BAD, THEN DOES IT TAKE AWAY LICENSE TO DRIVE AND JUST LET EVERYBODY GET BEHIND THE CAR AND GO WHEREVER THEY WANT TO GO? THAT'S HOW STUPID TAKING THE LICENSE FOR THE GUN IS. NUMBER FOUR SS TO MENTAL HEALTH I LIVE IN WEST LOUISVILLE. I LOVE WEST LOUISVILLE, BUT SOME OF THE AREAS IN WEST LOUISVILLE NEEDS ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH. I HEAR THAT MY TIME IS UP. I'M GOING TO YIELD THE FLOOR. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU, MR. PARKER. THANK YOU. KHALID RAHIM.

GREETINGS. GOOD EVENING. I AM GRANDMASTER KHALID RAHIM, I'M A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND I HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, MY FATHER, BABA ALI, HAS BEEN FIGHTING FOR THE SAME THINGS THAT WE FIGHT FOR TOGETHER. NOW I'M 58 YEARS OLD, SO HE'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 60 YEARS. ONE THING THAT I SEE IS THAT WE GO TO THESE CRIME SCENES AND WE DEAL WITH A LOT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, THROUGHOUT OUR DAILY ACTIVITY. BUT EVERYBODY'S WORKING IN SILOS AND WITH EVERYBODY WORKING IN SILOS, NOBODY'S WORKING TOGETHER.

EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED ABOUT WHICH PARTY OR WHO WE REPRESENT. IF IT'S BLACK OR WHITE, POOR OR THERE WERE 12 TRIBES THAT THE CREATOR PUT TOGETHER, NOT SO THAT THEY CAN FIGHT AMONGST EACH OTHER SO THAT THEY CAN LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER, AND WE CAN WORK TOGETHER UNTIL WE SHOW A, THE BEGINNING OF UNITY, UNTIL WE CAN SHOW PEACE AND THAT WE CAN STEP OUTSIDE OF THESE, THESE, THESE DIFFERENT AGENDAS AND LET IT NOT BE ABOUT THE PARTY, BUT BE ABOUT THE PEOPLE. ONCE WE GET THE PEOPLE STRAIGHT, THEN WE CAN PARTY LATER. THE SAME GOD THAT CREATED YOU CREATED ME. THE SAME GOD THAT LOVES YOU AND SUSTAINS YOU SUSTAINS ME. WHAT I'M SAYING TODAY IS THAT WE ALL START WORKING TOGETHER, GET OUT OF OUR SILOS. LET'S GET OUT OF OUR HOMES AND OUT OF OUR HOUSES AND LET'S HIT THE STREETS LIKE THE CHRIST DID. AND LET'S WORK TOGETHER. WE CAN BUILD THIS THING. WE CAN FIX THIS THING. WE KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. IT'S NOT AN ISSUE ABOUT KNOWING WHAT'S WRONG. IT'S ABOUT WHO'S WILLING TO STAND UP AND MAKE IT WORK. THESE STREETS ARE TIRING.

EVERYBODY'S GRIEVING AND EVERYBODY'S MOURNING SOMETHING AND OR SOMEBODY, EVEN IF IT IS A LIFESTYLE. OUR WOMEN ARE CRYING, OUR GRANNIES ARE CRYING. WE HAVE ORPHANS RUNNING AROUND NOW AND THERE'S NO ACCOUNTABILITY WITH OUR CHILDREN. WE COULD TAKE THE CHURCH OUT OF THE SCHOOLS, BUT WE LET FOOLISHNESS COME IN AND TEACH THEM ABOUT MORALITY. I'M ASKING IF YOU CAN'T COME SEND A REPRESENTATIVE OVER HERE TO SIX SIXTH AND JEFFERSON. IF YOU CAN'T COME, SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO THESE STREETS AND THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND LET'S WORK TOGETHER. IF YOU'RE MORE QUALIFIED AS A REPUBLICAN OR YOU'RE MORE

[00:15:03]

QUALIFIED AS A DEMOCRAT, LET'S COME TOGETHER AND PUT THOSE QUALIFIED PEOPLE IN PLACE TOGETHER. SO THAT WE CAN GET SOMETHING DONE. BECAUSE WAITING ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S FOUR YEARS TO COME IN AND LET THEM GET IN AND GET ADJUSTED. AND THEY KEPT BRINGING THE NEW PEOPLE THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND THAT KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING THESE THINGS HARD FOR US, AND WE CAN WORK TOGETHER AND MAKE IT BETTER. I CHALLENGE YOU, MAN. STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT, EVEN IF IT IS AGAINST OUR SELF. PEACE AND BLESSINGS. THANK YOU MR. RAHEEM. THANK YOU VANESSA AGAIN. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. GOOD EVENING. AS THE TEACHER IN ME, WHAT CAN I SAY? I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING WE THE PEOPLE, WHICH IS THE PREAMBLE TO OUR CONSTITUTION, CORRECT? I KNOW THIS, AND I HOPE MOST OF YOU KNOW THIS. I LOVE THIS BECAUSE IT IDENTIFIES US AS PEOPLE, AS HUMANS. NO DIFFERENCE IN SKIN AGE, RACE, RELIGION, MONEY, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. THIS IS WHY GOD LIVES MATTER. THAT'S WHO I'M REPRESENTING. BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE HOW WE WORK TOGETHER. NOW HOW WE GET THINGS DONE FOR EACH OTHER, THE WELL-BEING OF ALL PEOPLE OF LOUISVILLE. WE'VE GOT TO COME TOGETHER. AND I WANT TO CHARGE YOU ALL THE METRO COUNCIL. THAT'S YOUR JOB. YOU'VE GOT TO COME ACROSS THE LINES. YOU'VE GOT TO PUT ASIDE DIFFERENCES. WHY? FOR THE PEOPLE WE ARE THE PEOPLE DON'T LOOK AT MY COLOR. JUST SAY, I'M NOT EVEN HERE TO SAY I'M INVISIBLE. IF I'M DOWN HERE BELOW THIS THING AND YOU COULDN'T SEE ME, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT COLOR I WAS. ALRIGHT OR SOMEONE ELSE. WE HAVE GOT TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT OUR FUTURE, HOW WE WANT OUR FUTURE, HOW WE WANT OUR CITY TO BE RECOGNIZED AS THE MOST MURDERS, AS THE NASTIEST PEOPLE IN, IN, IN THE COUNTRY, OR ONE OF THE BEST DANG CITIES THERE IS. I THINK LOUISVILLE HAS THAT POTENTIAL.

BUT UNTIL YOU COME TOGETHER AND YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT THIS COUNCIL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEXT COUNCIL IS GOING TO BE, I MAY NOT EVEN BE HERE, BUT THIS COUNCIL IS GOING TO DECIDE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THEY'RE GOING TO SET DOWN WHATEVER IT IS. I DON'T LIKE YOU. I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID, BUT PUT IT ASIDE. THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SERVE. AND SATURDAY IS THE PRAYER VIGIL WE'RE HAVING BE OF SERVICE. IF YOU CAN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

THANK YOU, MISS O'REGAN. THANK YOU. NICK CLARK. HELLO, EVERYONE. I'M JUST GOING TO FIRST OFF SAY THAT THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL, WHAT I'M GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IS VERY PERSONAL TO ME. SO, IF IT SEEMS LIKE I'M NERVOUS, I AM, BUT, I CAME TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL REGARDING AN ORDINANCE FILED BY COUNCILWOMAN CHAPEL, CHRISTOPHER'S LAW THAT WOULD REQUIRE UNARMED SECURITY GUARDS TO HAVE TRAINING IN THEIR ROLES, MY HUSBAND CHRISTOPHER, WAS MURDERED ON JANUARY 5TH, 2020, BY A BOUNCER AT NOWHERE BAR WHO WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE ON THE JOB. HE ADMITTED THAT TO POLICE AND HE WAS ALLEGEDLY ON COCAINE.

HE HAD NO TRAINING TO BE A BOUNCER AND ALSO HAD A CRIMINAL HISTORY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND WAS NEVER BACKGROUND CHECKED. HAD THESE REGULATIONS BEEN IN PLACE ON THAT DAY, MY HUSBAND QUITE POSSIBLY MIGHT BE ALIVE TODAY. CHRISTOPHER WAS VULNERABLE TO THE POINT WHERE HE COULD NOT WALK STRAIGHT. HIS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS 0.2, HE WAS BUMPING INTO TABLES AND WAS JUST TRYING TO GET HIS COAT FROM COAT CHECK TO GET AN UBER TO GO HOME. SINCE 2021, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH BOTH STATE AND LOCAL LEGISLATORS TO ENACT TRAINING AND REGULATIONS AROUND WHAT UNARMED SECURITY AT BARS AND NIGHTCLUBS SHOULD DO IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS HANDLING INTOXICATED PATRONS WITH THINGS AS SIMPLE AS DE-ESCALATION TECHNIQUES. AND INTERPERSONAL AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION TECHNIQUES. UNFORTUNATELY, IN CHRISTOPHER'S CASE, THE BOUNCER HAD NO TRAINING, AND IN ANY OF THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS, MANY BARS HIRE BY WORD OF MOUTH, BY PHYSICAL STATURE AND OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. AND I'VE PROOF OF ALL OF THAT. THE BOUNCER DRUG CHRISTOPHER'S LIFELESS BODY TO ANOTHER PART OF THE PATIO. PROP CHRISTOPHER UP ON A CHAIR TRYING TO WAKE HIM UP BEFORE EMS COULD EVEN ATTEND TO CHRISTOPHER. THERE WAS ALSO A PHOTO TAKEN BY A BYSTANDER, WHERE CHRISTOPHER IS LYING ON THE PAVEMENT WITH PEOPLE JUST STANDING AROUND HIM,

[00:20:02]

NOT DOING A THING. SINCE CHRISTOPHER'S DEATH, I'VE ALSO MET WITH TWO NASHVILLE MOTHERS WHOSE SONS DIED IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE IN 2021 AND 2023 BY BOUNCERS. I'VE ALSO TRAVELED TO ATLANTA TO MEET WITH A FAMILY WHOSE SON DIED IN 2016, AND THEY SUCCESSFULLY PASSED MICHAEL'S LAW ON BEHALF OF THEIR SON, GOVERNOR BILL LEE AND TENNESSEE ALSO FILED DALLAS'S LAW, WHICH WAS NAMED AFTER DALLAS BARRETT, WHO WAS ONE OF THE ONES WHO DIED IN NASHVILLE. LASTLY, I'VE ALSO BEEN CONTACTED BY SEVERAL LOUISVILLE MOTHERS WHO HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME ONE FROM DISTRICT 18 AND ANOTHER FROM DISTRICT NINE, WHOSE SONS WERE BEATEN BY POWER HUNGRY BOUNCERS.

THESE SITUATIONS HAPPEN MORE OFTEN THAN PEOPLE THINK, I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNCIL AND APPRECIATE VERY MUCH YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF, PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURE. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CLARK. THANK YOU.

JUDY STALLARD. I'M JUDY STALLARD, MY HOME IS IN METRO SIX, AND I'M A CONSTITUENT OF COUNCILMAN PHILIP BAKER, WHO I CONSIDER A GOOD FRIEND. I KNOW SEVERAL OF YOU. IN FACT, I HAD LUNCH TODAY WITH COUNCILMAN BENSON AND COUNCILWOMAN PARKER, I'M APPEALING TO YOU AS A FRIEND AND A CITIZEN OF THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE. AND FOR SOMEONE WHO RAN FOR METRO COUNCIL, WE HAVE AN EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR CITY. AS YOU ARE ALL AWARE, THE POLICE ARE WORKING HARD TO DEAL WITH IT. AND I KNOW ALL OF YOU ARE DOING THE SAME IN YOUR CAPACITIES AS MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. THAT IS ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT WE NEED TO CALL ON THE ONE WHO HAS THE POWER TO STOP THE VIOLENCE, AND THAT IS GOD. RAY BARKER SIR, FRIENDLY CITY HAS BEEN HAVING PRAYER VIGILS FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS IN WEST LOUISVILLE BECAUSE THIS SATURDAY IS THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE HE FELT LED TO INCLUDE THIS WHOLE CITY IN THIS TIME OF PRAYER. AS A RESULT, HE HAS MOVED THE VIRGIL VIRGIL VIGIL. SORRY TO SIXTH AND JEFFERSON. I'M BEGGING EACH OF YOU TO COME DOWN THIS SATURDAY AT 6 P.M. AND BE AMONG THOSE LIFTING UP OUR VOICES TO GOD, TO PUT AN END TO THE VIOLENCE. THIS IS HAPPENING IN THIS CITY. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE FEEL HELPLESS AGAINST THIS ENEMY, WHICH IS VIOLENCE. BUT GOD IS IN CONTROL AND WE NEED HIS HELP. GOD SAID IT BEST IN SECOND CHRONICLES 714 IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEE MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEM THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MR. BARRY STEIGER. HI, I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT DOG AND NOT GOD, MY DOG EATS FIRST WAS STARTED IN 2013 AND INCORPORATED AS A 500 AND 1C3, WHOSE MISSION WAS TO FEED THE PETS OF THE HOMELESS. AS WE GREW, WE LOCATED IN PORTLAND. OUR MISSION GREW TO INCLUDE THE PETS OF THE UNDERSERVED. OUR WAGGLE WEDNESDAY EVENTS BEGAN IN 2016 AND CONTINUED UNTIL COVID STARTED. WE SERVED BETWEEN 100 AND 150 PEOPLE EVERY TIME OUR DOORS OPEN, WHICH WAS ABOUT TWICE A MONTH DURING AND AFTER COVID, MY DOG EATS FIRST DIRECTION CHANGED WHILE WE WERE STILL VISITING THE STREETS AND TAKING PET FOOD TO THE PETS. THERE BECAME AN OBVIOUS NEED FOR VET CARE PETS THAT HAD BEEN NEGLECTED DURING THE PANDEMIC. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED? ALL SEEMED TO NEED THEIR VACCINATIONS AND HAD OTHER HEALTH CONCERNS. AND WITH SNIP CLINICS ALL SHUTTING DOWN A PUPPY KITTEN SPAY NEUTER, EXPLOSION OR CLUSTER, SOMETHING OCCURRED THAT YEAR. WE SPENT $30,000 IN VET FEES, BUT THE BOND BETWEEN A PET AND AN UNHOUSED PERSON IS STRONGER THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE. AND WE HEAR ALL THE TIME, HOW CAN HE OR SHE TAKE CARE OF A PET? THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE TAKING CARE OF A PET COMES FIRST. PETS OF THE UNHOUSED OFFER COMPANIONSHIP, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, AND GIVE THEM A REASON TO GET UP IN THE MORNING. AND THEY PROVIDE PROTECTION AND OFTENTIMES SCARY LIVING SITUATION. IN THE CASE OF A PERSON STRUGGLING WITH PROVIDING CARE, WE'RE THERE TO HELP. WE CAN PROVIDE VET CARE IF NEEDED. WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE BOARDING AND FOSTERING FOR PEOPLE IF THEY GO INTO TREATMENT OR NEED AN EXTENDED HOSPITAL STAY. WHAT WE'VE DONE STOCKING SEVERAL OF THOSE LITTLE PANTRIES AROUND TOWN. YOU SEE, THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO. WE DELIVER PET FOOD TO THOSE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. WE ASSIST IN

[00:25:02]

REGISTERING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS THE LEGITIMATE WAY WITH A LETTER FROM A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. AND WE ARE CURRENTLY ASSISTING SEVERAL VETERANS WITH ESAS AND THEIR VACCINATIONS. OUR OUTREACH IS PRIMARILY ON THE STREETS SERVING DOWNTOWN, WEST END AND PORTLAND. WE NO LONGER HAVE A BRICK AND MORTAR FOR OUR DISTRIBUTION, SO WE'RE DONATING DOG AND CAT FOOD TO CHURCH FOOD DISTRIBUTION IN THE HIGHLANDS AND ONE IN PORTLAND, WHERE THE NEED IS GREAT. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO KEEP PEOPLE AND PETS TOGETHER. THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE HOPE THAT PROVIDING FOOD AND SUPPLIES TO PEOPLE WE CAN MEET THAT GOAL. OUR CITY'S GREATEST NEED IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING DONATIONS. WE ARE A LEGITIMATE 500 AND 1C3 AND HAVE BEEN FOR QUITE A WHILE, MY DOG EATS FIRST.ORG OR VENMO OR PAYPAL. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR A CORPORATE DONOR. HINT HINT TO HELP WITH DRY FOOD DONATIONS AND PEOPLE CAN DROP THAT OFF TO THE OUTREACH DIRECTOR'S PORCH IN THE HIGHLANDS. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE HERE ON OPEN MIC NIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. THANK YOU, JONATHAN OR JENNIFER CLARK. JENNIFER CLARK. CINDY. PABLO. HELLO. GOOD EVENING. I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE TIFF OR THE PROPOSED, PROPOSED TIFF FOR, THE URBAN GOVERNMENT CENTER DEVELOPMENT IN PIERCE TOWN POINT. OH. WHAT IS THERE TO SAY? THERE'S LOTS TO SAY. EIGHT YEARS WORTH OF STUFF TO SAY. WE'VE GONE THROUGH. WE'RE ACTUALLY ON OUR THIRD DEVELOPER. HE IS THE ONE THAT HAS GOT MAJORITY OF HIS FUNDING. HE'S GOT HIS PLANS. HE'S HE'S GOT FURTHER ALONG THAN ANYONE ELSE, HE JUST NEEDS A LITTLE HELP, THIS PLAN IS GOING TO PROVIDE JOBS MUCH NEEDED JOBS FOR THE CITY ESPECIALLY, BUT ALSO FOR THOSE NEARBY. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE DEMOLITION AND THE REMOVAL OF ALL THE DEBRIS AND THE CLEANUP, AND THEN YOU START IN ON, ON PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE CONSTRUCTION.

LOTS OF JOBS. THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO BE PROVIDING LOTS OF HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES. THERE'S SOME HOME OWNERSHIP. THERE'S, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND THEN THERE'S JUST REGULAR RENTED APARTMENTS, CONDOS. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT EVERYONE IN THE CITY NEEDS. 20 MILLION IS NOT A WHOLE LOT OUT OF A $249 MILLION PROJECT. SO ONE THING THAT I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT STEVE SMITH, IN THE UPPER PARISH TOWN PRESERVATION, IS COMMITTED TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO THE NEIGHBORS AROUND US. THEY'VE ALREADY INVESTED INTO THE PARISH TOWN, ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, AND THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE EVENTS AND REACH OUT TO THE NEIGHBORS AND INVITE US AND ENCOURAGE US TO PARTICIPATE, ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE HAVING IS THE MAINTENANCE AND PROBLEMS, MAINTENANCE AND SECURITY AT THE URBAN GOVERNMENT CENTER, LOTS OF GRAFFITI THEFTS, AND SO FORTH, I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT METRO GOVERNMENT IS A LOUSY NEIGHBOR. THEY DO NOTHING UNLESS SOMEONE CALLS AND TELLS THEM ABOUT IT. CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE CALLED AND SAID THE GRASS IS FOUR FOOT TALL. YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE HANGING OUT THE BUILDING. THEY'RE STEALING STUFF. DON'T FORGET THE PIZZA PARTY THAT THE PEOPLE HAD. YEAH, THEY WENT AND GOT PIZZA AND BROUGHT IT BACK SO THEY COULD KEEP RIPPING OFF THE TAXPAYERS, A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOT IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN THIS, COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BY A COMMITTEE.

WELL, NOT EVERYONE ON THAT COMMITTEE HAD TRUE, PERS PURPOSEFUL INTENTIONS. THEY GOT A LITTLE SIDETRACKED. BUT I THINK THAT THE, AGREEMENT AS IT IS NOW, WILL SERVE MORE PEOPLE AND MORE FAIRLY. ALSO, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, TODAY IS NATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY. I ASK, YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE TO TALK LIKE A PIRATE, BUT PLEASE DON'T BE A PIRATE. PLEASE VOTE FOR THIS. THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN PARIS TOWN POINT ARE READY FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE READY TO IMPROVE OUR LIVES AND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. O'NEILL O'NEILL. O'NEILL.

MR. PRESIDENT, THAT CONCLUDES THE ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU. NEXT, WE HAVE

SO, FIRST IN QUEUE OR NEXT IN QUEUE. COUNCILMAN ARTHUR. THANK YOU. AN OP ED FROM THE FORMER URBAN GOVERNMENT CENTER ADVISORY PANEL WAS ATTACHED TO THIS ITEM. FOR THE RECORD, THEY EXPRESSED A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROJECT. SPENT A LOT OF YEARS WORKING ON THE PROJECT, ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE PROJECT, AND UNFORTUNATELY, WERE DISMISSED

[00:40:05]

FROM NEGOTIATIONS ABOUT THE PROJECT. I WANT TO SAY THE AMENDMENTS FROM COMMITTEE ADDRESSED THEIR CONCERNS, BUT IF THAT WERE THE CASE, WHY DISCONTINUE THE ADVISORY PANEL? THEIR VOICES DESERVE TO BE HEAR. WHETHER OR NOT THEY AGREED WITH THE MAYOR OR THE DEVELOPER. SO I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO SAY THANK YOU TO REBECCA MINNIC, RANDY WEBER, AMY LUCKETT, DOUG MCGEE, FRANK FORD, AND ERIC BALDWIN FOR YOUR SERVICE. TWO OF THE FIVE NEIGHBORHOODS REPRESENTED ARE IN OUR DISTRICT, AND THOSE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY TOTALLY OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT. SO MY NO VOTE IS DEDICATED TO THEM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN ARTHUR, COUNCILMAN PURVIS. THANK YOU, MISTER PRESIDENT. I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS LEGISLATION THIS EVENING. SOMEONE THAT REPRESENTS A VERY DEPRESSED DISTRICT. I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THE EYESORE OF A BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN. HAS BEEN ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED FOR FAR TOO LONG. AND I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD. THAT WE CAN ADD THIS TO THE REVENUE STREAM FOR THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO KEEP PLAYING AROUND WITH THIS WHEN WE HAVE SOMEONE THAT HAS DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT HAS CAPITAL, AND I JUST THANK TIME TO MOVE FORWARD. IS NOT FAIR TO THE COMMUNITY THAT LIVES IN THAT AREA TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH. I FEEL LIKE WE MAY LOSE THE INTEREST OF ANY FUTURE DEVELOPERS IF WE DON'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. SO I WILL DEFINITELY BE SUPPORTING THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN PURVIS. COUNCILWOMAN CHAPEL.

THANK YOU. DO I THINK THAT THIS HAS THE ABILITY TO BE A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT? YES. DO I WANT TO SEE THIS PRIME PIECE OF REAL ESTATE IN OUR URBAN CORE DEVELOPED? YES. HOWEVER UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, I WOULD PROBABLY BE VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS TIF. BUT TODAY I WILL BE VOTING NO FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. THE DESIGN IS UNREMARKABLE. I FIND IT INSULTING THAT THE DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T WANT TO INCORPORATE. AT THE VERY LEAST, THE ORIGINAL KENTUCKY BAPTIST HOSPITAL BUILDING THAT WAS BUILT IN 1924, 100 YEARS AGO. WE ALL KNOW THAT PRESERVATION IS NOT CHEAP, BUT I THINK THAT WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT IT'S AN INVESTMENT WORTH MAKING FOR THE CULTURAL FABRIC OF OUR CITY. I BELIEVE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN ABHORREN.

THE DECORUM OF OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WEASELLY TO SAY THE LEAST. WE FUMBLED THE BALL FOR THREE YEARS AND WE CAN'T SEEM TO STOP TRIPPING. I DON'T AGREE WITH THE LAND TRANSFER FOR $1. AN UNSIGNED COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT SHOULD NOT BE A SUPPORTING DOCUMENT FOR THIS TIF. FURTHERMORE, THE STRONG ARMING OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AWAY FROM THE TABLE IN FAVOR OF OTHER OUTSIDE ENTITIES WHOSE TIES TO THIS PROJECT ARE MURKY AT BEST, IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE NOTION THAT THIS DEVELOPER WANTS TO BE A FAIR PLAYER AND LET'S BE CLEAR, THE EXCUSE THAT THE CURRENT SITE IS BLIGHT AND UNKEMPT IS AT THE FAULT OF LOUISVILLE METRO GOVERNMENT. WE HAVE FORCED BROKEN WINDOWS THEORY AMONG THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY IN WHAT I ASSUME WAS A NASTY PLOY TO EXPEDITE THE NEED FOR DEVELOPMENT. WE CAN DO BETTER, AND THAT'S WHY I'LL BE VOTING. NO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COUNCILWOMAN CHAPEL. COUNCILWOMAN RUBY. THANK YOU. I WILL ALSO BE VOTING NO ON THIS, AND I COULD GO ON FOR A LONG TIME. AS TO WHY. HOWEVER, LET'S START WITH. EVERY TIME I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW OF MY OFFICE, I LOOK AT BUILDINGS THAT WERE BUILT TO LAST A HUNDRED YEARS AT LEAST. I LOOK AT BUILDINGS THAT WERE BUILT TO BE OBSOLETE IN 50 YEARS. THE BUILDING THAT IS CURRENTLY ON THAT SITE WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS BUILT FOR 100 YEARS. IT HAS TO IN ORDER TO DEMOLISH THAT BUILDING. THEY HAVE TO ABATE THE LEAD. THEY HAVE TO ABATE THE I'M SORRY, ASBESTOS. THEY HAVE TO ABATE THE LEAD. THEY HAVE TO ABATE THE ASBESTOS. THE ONLY THING LEFT.

THE ONLY COMPLAINT LEFT IN THERE WAS THE MOLD. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN TO THE BARE WALLS.

IF THEY WERE GOING TO RENOVATE IT. THAT'S A BUILDING THAT'S BUILT TO LAST A LIFETIME. THE OTHER BUILDINGS THAT ARE COMING UP NOW ARE NOT. IN ADDITION, I'VE WATCHED THE MANEUVERS THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS MADE, AND THE DEVELOPER TO ME FEELS VERY UNTRUSTWORTHY. IF THEY DIDN'T GET THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY WANTED, THEY TOOK THE PEOPLE OFF THE COMMITTEE WHO WOULDN'T AGRE?

[00:45:01]

THAT'S NOT HONEST. IN ADDITION, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BUILD A GREAT DEAL OF OFFICE SPACE, WHICH, AS WE WALK AROUND DOWNTOWN, DRIVE AROUND DOWNTOWN, WE SEE A WHOLE LOT OF OFFICE SPACE THAT'S EMPTY ALREADY. WE DO NOT NEED IT. WE DO NOT NEED MORE HIGH DOLLAR APARTMENTS. WE NEED APARTMENTS THAT ARE MIDDLE INCOME. WE NEED APARTMENTS THAT ARE AFFORDABLE. FOR THESE REASONS AND OTHERS, I WILL BE VOTING NO ON THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN.

COUNCILMAN MARINO WEBER. I ALSO HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS. AND I'M ALSO GOING TO RESIST THE URGE TO SAY ALL OF IT AT LENGTH, BUT I WILL MAKE THE FOLLOWING TWO IMPORTANT POINTS. WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO ENTER INTO COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENTS CONNECTED TO TIFS IS IRRELEVANT IN THIS POINT. WE DID ENTER INTO THAT AGREEMENT. WE SAID TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS, YOUR VOICE MATTERS UNTIL WE DISAGREE WITH YOU, AND THEN WE WILL SUB YOU OUT BECAUSE WE DISAGREE WITH YOU AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS THE RIGHT PROCESS FOR US TO GO WITH IT. AND GOING FORWARD, WE DID DO THAT. AND THAT IS NOT HOW WE AS GOOD OPERATORS TO EITHER DEVELOPERS OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

AND I HATE THE PRECEDENT THAT THIS SETS THAT WE ARE NOT KEEPING OUR WORD. AND THAT IS IRRELEVANT TO THE ACTUAL ISSUES AT STAKE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, MANY OF THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORS WERE IN FACT ADDRESSED THAT THE ISSUES OF THE GARDEN, THE PLAYGROUND, AND THAT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. THE POINT IS, WE SAID, YOUR VOICE MATTERS. AND THEN WE SAID IT DIDN'T. AND THE SECOND POINT I WILL MAKE IS THIS WE AS A COMMUNITY HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPACES AND RESOURCES IN WHICH WE CAN TAKE BIG SWINGS, AND WE HAVE SOME TRACK RECORD OF TAKING BIG SWINGS AND HITTING IT OUT OF THE PARK. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SPACES. IT'S ON AN URBAN TRANSIT CORRIDOR. IT IS CONNECTING A HISTORICALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD TO AN UP AND COMING IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORHOOD, FORMERLY IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE HIGHLANDS. IT IS EXACTLY THE SORT OF PLACE WHERE WE SHOULD BE REALLY THOUGHTFULLY PUTTING TOGETHER THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY WANT TO SEE. AND WE I HAVE HEARD EXACTLY ZERO PEOPLE SAY, MAN, I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S COMING HER.

THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD IS I'M JUST TIRED OF DEALING WITH IT. AND THAT AS LEADERS OF OUR COMMUNITY, IS NOT THE KIND OF THING THAT I WANT TO SUPPORT. SO I'LL BE VOTING NO. THANK YOU.

COUNCILWOMAN PURVIS. I'M NOT TIRED OF DEALING WITH IT. I JUST THINK IT'S TIME WE GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD. AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT IF CHURCHILL DOWNS OR COLONIAL GARDENS SAT VACANT FOR EIGHT YEARS WITH GRASS ALL AROUND IT, WE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. NOW SO, YES, THAT'S WHAT I SAID. CHURCHILL DOWNS AND COLONIAL GARDENS, IF THEY IF IT SAT VACANT FOR EIGHT YEARS WITH TALL GRASS AND MOSQUITOES EVERYWHERE AND INVITING CRIME AND GRAFFITI, WE WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT BY NOW. AND I THINK IT'S UNFAIR TO THE COMMUNITY THAT LIVES IN THAT AREA THAT HAS TO BE SUBJECTED TO THIS ON A DAILY BASIS AND BE REMINDED THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN COUNT. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN OWEN. THANK YOU.

PRESIDENT. SO FOR THE ENTIRE TIME WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THE GOVERNMENT CENTER SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL, LET'S CALL IT THE LAST YEAR, I'VE CONSIDERED MYSELF A SOFT YES, AND I REALIZED WHY THAT WAS. AND I DIDN'T LIKE WHY THAT WAS. I FELT LIKE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING UP SOMEONE ELSE'S MESS THAT I HAD NO PART IN CREATING. THIS ALL ALL OF THIS PAST EIGHT YEARS IN MY MIND, IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR CITY. IT HAS NOT BEEN HANDLED WELL, BUT THAT'S NOT A MESS THAT I CREATED. IT WAS A MESS THAT FRANKLY, PREVIOUS COUNCILS AND PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS CREATED. SO ONCE I WAS ABLE TO, IN MY OWN MIND, SEPARATE MY DECISION TONIGHT FROM THE FEELING THAT I WAS CREATING, I WAS CLEANING UP SOMEONE ELSE'S MESS. THEN I STARTED LOOKING AT THE PROJECT ON ITS OWN MERITS. THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME TONIGHT.

AND WHEN I LOOK AT THAT PROJECT LIKE COUNCILMAN WEBBER SAID, I HAVE NOT HEARD A SINGLE PERSON N

[00:50:01]

SAY, WOW, THAT IS A DYNAMIC, COOL, INTERESTING PROPOSAL. NOT ONE PERSON, EVERYONE SAYS, WOW, THIS IS A MESS. WOW, WE SCREWED THIS UP. WOW. WE NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT NO ONE SAYS THIS IS A GREAT PLAN. THE RIGHT PLAN FOR THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT MOMENT. NOBODY SAYS THAT WE WERE JUST IN SAN ANTONIO AND IN SAN ANTONIO. THREE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY TOOK US TO TOOK OUR CITY LEADERS TO WERE EXAMPLES OF PLACES WHERE THERE WAS A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPING PUBLIC LAND. AND THEY DID INCREDIBLY DYNAMIC DEVELOPMENTS THAT I THINK IT WOULD BE HARD TO ARGUE, DIDN'T SIGNIFICANTLY BENEFIT NOT ONLY THE COMMUNITIES DIRECTLY AROUND THEM, BUT THE ENTIRE CITY. THIS IS AN ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS CITY. TEN ACRES IN AN INCREDIBLY DYNAMIC NEIGHBORHOOD. AND TO ME, I FEEL LIKE WE ARE WHIFFING ON THAT OPPORTUNITY WITH THIS PLAN. SO AS A RESULT, I WILL BE VOTING NO, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN OWEN. COUNCILMAN.

ACKERSON. THANK YOU, MISTER PRESIDENT, BASEBALL ANALOGIES SEEM TO BE THE THING OF THE NIGHT. SWINGING FOR THE GRANDSTANDS, HOME RUNS, WHIFFING. THE REALITY IS THIS.

FOR EIGHT YEARS, WE MIGHT HAVE SWUNG FOR THE GRANDSTANDS. WE'LL STICK WITH BASEBALL. YOU'RE EITHER WHIFFS OR THEY'RE STRIKES. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP SITUATION, WANTING SOMETHING GRANDIOSE, THE DOLLARS HAVE TO BE THERE. THE FINANCIAL INVESTMENT HAS TO BE THERE. AND IT'S NOT ECONOMICALLY. IT JUST HASN'T MADE SENSE. AND SO TO HOLD ON, TO BLIGHT WITH THE HOPE THAT SOMEHOW SOMETHING GREAT COMES ALONG IN THE FUTURE. IS NOTHING MORE THAN HOPE IT WILL NEVER DELIVER. WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY NOW TO PUT A LEGITIMATE PROJECT INTO PLACE, TAKING CARE OF THIS BLIGHT. IT'S A PROJECT THAT ECONOMICALLY MAKES SENSE, AND THAT'S WHY NOTHING'S GONE IN THERE BEFORE. BECAUSE NOTHING ECONOMICALLY MADE SENSE. WE CAN HOPE FOR. I MEAN, RECENTLY IN MY DISTRICT, DISTRICT 26, THERE WAS A SURVEY AND PEOPLE WANT, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT A BRIDGE ACROSS 264 A WALKING BRIDGE SO THEY CAN GET ACROSS. 264 IT'S GREAT. IT'S GRANDIOSE, IT'S WISHFUL THINKING. YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF LIKE I BUY LOTTERY TICKETS, YOU KNOW, WISHFUL THINKING. BUT THE REALITY IS IT WILL NEVER COME TO FRUITION. WE HAVE A CHANCE, AFTER EIGHT YEARS TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING THAT ECONOMICALLY MAKES SENSE. HAD THE GREAT IDEA WITH A PLAN COME ALONG SOONER, FANTASTIC. WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR IT. BUT IT'S TIME TO GET RID OF THE BLIGHT AND BRING PROGRESS. MAY NOT BE THE PROGRESS THAT WE WANT, BUT IT'S THE PROGRESS THAT THE CITY NEEDS. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I WILL BE A YES VOTE. I HOPE THAT FOLKS HERE WILL GET PAST THE WISHFUL THINKING AND GET DOWN TO THE REALITY OF THE OF THE SITUATION THAT WE ARE IN. THANK YOU, MISTER PRESIDENT. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN BAKER WISHES TO WITHDRAW. COUNCILMAN OWEN. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT. SO I JUST QUICKLY WANT TO SAY THAT I DON'T I WAS NOT GOING TO SAY ANY MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT, BUT WHEN PEOPLE SPEAK ABOUT THINGS THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT, THEN I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO RETORT. THERE ARE A COUPLE PLACES IN REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT WHERE I DO NOT TRUST THE NUMBERS AT ALL. ONE IS ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION, THE OTHER IS DEMOLITION, AND THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT BECAUSE GENERALLY SPEAKING, WHEN YOU TAKE ON THOSE JOBS, YOU MAY FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T KNOW EXISTS. AND SO WHAT GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT A NUMBER ON THAT IS YOU SAY, I THINK IT'S GOING TO COST ME 12, BUT JUST IN CASE IT'S 24, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH THOSE TWO NUMBERS. THAT'S THE FIRST THING. THE SECOND THING IS, HAD WE DECIDED TO GO IN THE DIRECTION OF HISTORIC TAX CREDITS, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS COULD BE RAISED THROUGH HIS HISTORIC TAX CREDITS, MANY MORE MILLIONS THAN THE 20 MILLION THAT'S BEING ASKED FOR FROM THIS TIF. AND SO THERE ARE NUMEROUS ECONOMIC PATHWAYS TO GET A PROJECT DONE. WE AS A GOVERNMENT HAVE SCREWED THIS UP BY NOT OPENING THE PROCESS IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT MORE, THAT MAKES IT A BETTER PROCESS TO GET TO A PROJECT THAT'S A GREAT PROJECT. I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. COUNCILWOMAN PIERCE. RIGHT THANK YOU. I WASN'T GOING TO COMMENT. AND THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW 18TH AND BROADWAY, THAT CORRIDOR SAT THERE FOR MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS. I WATCH HOW I

[00:55:04]

WENT TO THOSE EARLY, EARLY MEETINGS AT THE URBAN LEAGUE AND HOW IT'S JUST SAT THERE AND SAT THERE. AND WHILE I'M THANKFUL NOW THAT THERE IS REAL DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY, THAT I THINK IT SHOULD BE UP AND COMING, THAT I THINK IS THE BEST END OF TOWN AND IT IS OFF BROADWAY. I THINK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED, WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. MY SINCE WE'VE BEEN IN OFFICE, THE MOST COMMUNICATION WE'VE GOTTEN ABOUT ANYTHING HAS BEEN ABOUT THIS PROJECT. AND BUT I DID NOTICE IN THIS LAST GO AROUND WE DIDN'T GET AS MANY PEOPLE COMMUNICATING. AND THAT DOESN'T TELL ME THAT PEOPLE AREN'T INTERESTED. THEY'RE TIRED, THEY'RE WORE OUT AND WHILE I WANT THE PEOPLE OF PARIS AND ALL THE CONNECTING COMMUNITIES TO GET WHAT THEY DESERVE THERE, I DEFINITELY SUPPORT MORE HOUSING AND ALL THOSE THINGS. MY NO VOTE IS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A VERY MUDDIED, BLURRY PROCESS. AND AS A NEW COUNCILWOMAN, I CANNOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH VOTING YES FOR IT. AND I EXPLAINED THIS TO COUNCILMAN BAKER AS WE TALKED ABOUT IT. SO I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE THINK ABOUT WHAT COMES NEXT, AND WE THINK ABOUT ALL THE OTHER AREAS OF OUR COMMUNITY, SOUTHWEST AND EAST, THAT GET NEGLECTED AND DON'T GET THIS KIND OF SUPPORT. AND WE NEED TO BE WORKING TOGETHER. SO I JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN MY NO VOTE THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILWOMAN. COUNCILMAN ACKERSON, YES, I'LL RESPOND TO MY COLLEAGUE AND PERSON FROM DISTRICT NINE, AND THAT WILL BE THIS. YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT, I SAY PISS ON YOU, COUNCILMAN. I'D ASK YOU TO DIRECT YOUR COUNCILMAN. PLEASE DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE CHAIR. WELL MR. MR. CHAIR, I WOULD SAY THIS TO MY COLLEAGUE. YOU KNOW, I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT BECAUSE I CERTAINLY KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT. I MY COLLEAGUE IS CERTAINLY NOT THE EXPERT ON EVERYTHING, AND HE'S ENTITLED TO HIS OPINION. I'M ENTITLED ■TO MINE. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE, SIR. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN, COUNCILWOMAN HAWKINS. CAN WE CALL THE QUESTION, PLEASE? I MAKE A MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION. SECOND. THE QUESTION HAS BEEN CALLED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? NO.

THE CHANGE OF ZONING FROM R SEVEN TO C ONE AT 1579 STORY AVENUE IS A SINGLE FAMILY STRUCTURE WITH 2240FT■!S THAT WOULD BE CONVERTD INTO SHORT TERM RENTAL. THE STAFF REPORT STATES THAT THE PROPOSAL DID NOT MEET THE GUIDELINES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THE WAIVER WAS NOT ADEQUATELY JUSTIFIED. THE STAFF WAS CONCERNED THAT THE PROPOSAL WAS AN END AROUND THE SHORT TERM RATE. THE SHORT TERM REGULATIONS. BUT THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL USES SUCH AS A BOWLING ALLEY, A CONCRETE PLANT BINDING ELEMENT, NUMBER NINE WAS OFFERED BY STAFF MEMBER J. LUCKETT AND WAS ADOPTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. STATED THAT THE PERMITTED USES OF THE PROPERTY SHALL BE ALL USES PERMITTED IN THE R SEVEN ZONING DISTRICT, DISTRICT, AS WELL AS SHORT TERM RENTALS, AND THIS IS IN COUNCILMAN ARTHUR'S DISTRICT. YOU MAY WANT TO RECOGNIZE HIM, PLEASE, COUNCILMAN ARTHUR, THE CHAIRWOMAN SUMMARIZED IT PERFECTLY. I'LL SUPPORT THIS ONE. AND THE NEXT ONE IS KIND OF THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE IT'S ESSENTIALLY A COMMERCIAL BLOCK. BUT I DID MENTION IN COMMITTEE THAT ANYONE INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY AMENDING OUR SHORT TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS, AGAIN, MIGHT WANT TO WATCH THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, BECAUSE THEY DID TALK ABOUT A WORKAROUND FROM THE REGULAR PROCESS WITH CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS. SO I'LL VOTE FOR THIS.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED BEHIND A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND CONSISTS OF A PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL PARCEL. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO CONSTRUCT A 20,600 SQUARE FOOT CONTRACTOR SHOP AND FLEX SPACE. THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE STUDY AREA FOR THE DIXIE HIGHWAY CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN, AND WITHIN THE STUDY AREA FOR THE DIXIE TOWN CENTER. THE. WE ADDED THE STANDARD BINDING ELEMENT, WHICH WAS BINDING ELEMENT NUMBER TEN, AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL. AND THIS IS IN DOCTOR BLACKWELL'S DISTRICT. IF YOU WOULD RECOGNIZE HIM, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN BLACKWELL. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, SO WE WERE TALKING EARLIER ABOUT THE WOW FACTOR OF DEVELOPMENTS, THIS ONE WOULDN'T BE IN THE WOW FACTOR OF DEVELOPMENTS. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU LOOK AT DIXIE MANOR, IT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE ON DIXIE HIGHWAY. AND IN IN SOUTHWEST ALTOGETHER. AND IT IS, IT'S DIFFICULT TO MAKE THOSE PROJECTS WORK AND WORK LONG TERM. SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT BEING USED AT ALL. AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME SPACE THAT'S GOING TO BE USED IN A POSITIVE WAY AND WILL BRING SOME REVENUE IN TO THE OPERATORS, AND THEN THE SECOND THING I THINK IS THAT IS VERY HELPFUL IS WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE ACTIVITY, A POSITIVE ACTIVITY, YOU GENERALLY HAVE NEGATIVE ACTIVITY AND THAT IS THE CASE THERE. AND SO WE HAVE IT IS JUST BEHIND SAINT PAUL'S CHURCH, AND YOU AND THEN OVER FROM WHERE MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS FOR DIXIE MANOR. AND SO YOU HEAR SOME, YOU KNOW, SOME ISSUES WITH, VANDALISM, SOME ISSUES WITH DUMPING, SOME ISSUES WITH, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL ISSUES GOING ON THERE. AND SO THE HOPE IS AND THE HOPE FROM THE, THE FOLKS AT DIXIE MANOR IS THAT THIS, THIS ACTIVITY, ONCE YOU START RENTING OUT THE SPACE THERE AND YOU HAVE MORE FLOW AND ACTIVITY THERE THAT SOME OF THAT GOES AWAY BECAUSE OF THE POSITIVE ACTIVITY. AND I AGREE WITH THEM, SO I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN BLACKWELL, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION HEARING? NONE. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING A ROLL CALL. VOTE.
