FOR SACRIFICING[1. 6:00pm: Welcome and roll call]
YOUR TIME AND COMING TO THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SACRIFICE ASSIGNED FOR YOUR COACH TO DISCRETE COMMUNITY.
WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN OUR MEETING.
WE DO HAVE A, THE SCHOOL, IF YOU JUST STAY OUT OF EVERYBODY'S NAME AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LIKE.
THE BAR WALLACE COULD NEVER GO AWAY HERE.
ANY BULLET MARIA, JOE, STEVE STRICKLAND, JOHN YOUNG EX-OFFICIO MEMBER, SABRINA VANTAGE.
I'M GOING ON? ROBBIE'S AND DARREN.
SO HE'S EXCUSED, THE BAR BETH WALKER HERE TO BUY A WALLACE.
[2. Public Comment]
COMMENT? DO WE HAVE ANY PHOTOS? YES, MA'AM.JUST SAYING YOU MAY STAY IN, YOU HAVE FOUR MINUTES.
ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT,
UH, CAN YOU SAY IT'S REQUIRED MATH THAT WE CAN'T REALLY TELL WHAT MIKE WILLIAMS WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AND REALLY BRIEF COMMENT.
I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR PARTNERSHIP GETTING STARTED.
I KNOW WE WERE INTENDING TO HAVE A HOUSING STUFF, COMMITTEE MEETING AFTER THE LAST MEETING, WHICH WE DIDN'T HAVE.
SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO US ACTUALLY HAVING THOSE MEETINGS.
THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL PARTNERS FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT I AM GATHERING UP AND WE ARE ANXIOUS TO GET STARTED AND WORKING ON THE ISSUES AROUND THE COUNTY.
SO AS SOON AS WE CAN HOUSING STUFF, COMMITTEE, WE REALLY NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND GET TO WORK.
ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT, MR. BRIAN FISHER? YES.
PUBLIC COMMENT, OR YOU NEED TO ATTEND TO THAT.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET SOME INFORMATION ABOUT, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO DO A HOUSING SEMINAR AND I JUST WANT TO GET SOME INFORMATION.
FOR SOME REASON I MISSED ON THE AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL
[3. Approval of Minutes]
OF OUR MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER THE 18TH.UM, TILL WE GET A MOTION, HAVE YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO READ THEM? IS THERE ANY ADDITIONS ON CHAIRMAN? UH, ONLINE 24 OF THE MINUTES, UH, MR. WILLIAMS STATED THAT 1400, 1,414.
I WAS AT 1,790 HOUR UNITS IN THE CITY.
I THINK THERE'S MORE HOUSING UNITS THAN THAT IN THE CITY.
I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA RATHER THAN THE CITY.
IT SHOULD BE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
ANY OTHER NOTED CORRECTIONS? UH, THERE WAS A MISSING SECOND ONLINE, 78.
DID WE FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT WAS? OKAY.
NO, I THINK I WOULD FIND THAT OUT.
SO WE, WE, WE, WE PUT THIS THROUGH TO HOPE, HOPEFULLY, UH, SOME REMEMBERED WHO SECONDED THE, UH, SECOND DAY KIPS MOTION TO, UH, BRING
[00:05:07]
THAT BULLSHIT.ANY OTHERS? ANY OTHER DIRECTIONS FOR ME? SOUND PICKY, BUT WHAT'S HIS ABSENCE? THAT OF EXPERIENCE.
YES, BUT I PROBABLY GAVE YOU NOTICE THAT I GO BACK AND HE DID.
YOU DID, HE SHOULD BE EXCUSED.
COULD WE GET A MOTION TO APPROVE, MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS AMENDED ALL IN FAVOR.
[4. Residential Inspection Program]
NEW REPORT, I RESIDENTIAL INSPECTION PROGRAM.UM, SO I STARTED WRITING OUT WORD FOR WORD LINE FOR LINE OF HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? AND I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A 75 PAGE PROGRAM.
UM, WHEN IN FACT WE DO MOST OF THE STUFF NOW ANYWAYS, SO I THOUGHT I'D TACKLE IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY FROM A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS STANDPOINT ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO GO ABOUT THE PROGRAM, BECAUSE IT'S ESSENTIALLY JUST OUR MIDDLE HOUSING SPECTRUM PROGRAM ANYWAYS.
UM, SO IF ANYONE'S BEEN OVER IT, UM, WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ON IF THIS IS KIND OF, IF THIS ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU GET, UM, AS WE, UH, AS WE ROLL OUT THE PROGRAM AND GO INTO THE C L VENDOR, THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
SO, UH, LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT IT IS.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S THE BEST ACRONYM, BUT I WASN'T FEELING VERY, I WASN'T FEELING VERY, I CREATED AT THE TIME.
SO I JUST THOUGHT WITH, WITH REAL, UH, WITH WHAT IT IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS AND SOMETHING, SNAPPY ACRONYM ALWAYS WORKS WELL.
YOU CAN ADD AN E THEIR FANS FOR RESIDENTIAL INSPECTION PROGRAM ENTERPRISE I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE TALKING, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.
THAT'S NOT A NICE WORD BECAUSE CONSIDERING ALL WE CALL, WELL, I'M GOING TO GO THE DOORS I HAD ENFORCEMENT AT THE END OF CALL IT.
ALL THE TITLE IT'S GOT SNOWMAN ON IT.
UM, SO WHAT, WHAT AREA IT IS, AND WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE A MAP AND FIGURE ON, UH, ON THE BACK OF THIS ALSO WITH THE, UH, WITH THE PAGE AS IT EXISTS ONLINE OR WHEN YOU PRINT IT OUT OF DOG BACK.
UM, SO WE GOT OUR MINIMAL HOUSING OFFICER CONDUCTING OUR INSPECTIONS IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
WE TALK ABOUT THE PRIORITY SUB AREAS THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO IDENTIFY THEM JUST YET.
UM, SO, BUT THE IDEA IS TO BREAK DOWN THE AREA IN THE MUCH SMALLER SUB AREAS, UM, AND, AND GO ABOUT IT THAT WAY, INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, JUST TO HAVE A, UH, A PROCESS THAT'S NOT JUST WILLY NILLY OR PEOPLE CAN'T SAY YOU'RE PICKING ON ME OR DOING ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO, UM, BUT WE DECIDED LAST WEEK, NOT TO REALLY DETERMINE WHAT THOSE SUB AREAS ARE YET.
UM, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S HOW THE PROCESS, THAT'S HOW IT WILL BE CONDUCTED.
UM, THE FIRST GO AROUND IS LOOKING FOR VISIBLE, UH, CODE RELATED ISSUES THAT A VISIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT TO BE VERY CLEAR, PROBLEM CLOUDS IS NOT REQUIRED AT ALL TO CONDUCT ANY INSPECTIONS, NOT AT THIS PART OF BEING A REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
WHEN, UM, SHE TALKED ABOUT HAVING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THESE PROPERTY OWNERS AND LANDOWNERS.
SO WE WON'T JUST KNOCK ON DOORS AND SAY, WE NEED TO INSPECT.
I IMAGINE WE'LL BE GIVING, UH, THE 15 DAYS NOTICE, UM, OF PROPERTIES WE INTEND TO EXPECT INSPECT.
WE'LL OBVIOUSLY THAT WE'LL HAVE SOME CONTACT INFORMATION ON THAT TO DETERMINE THE BEST TIME IN THE 15 DAYS.
[00:10:01]
YOU'RE GOING TO GET NOTICED THAT, UH, THAT WE WILL BE CONDUCTING AN INSPECTION, WHOEVER ANYBODY MAY REQUEST INSPECTION AT ANY TIME.AND I GUESS, YES, ANYBODY CAN REQUEST INSPECTION OUR RENTAL PROPERTY SUBJECT.
IT HAS A IT'S IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER IT'S A RENTAL OR A HOMEOWNER.
IT IS A RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.
SO IT'S ALL, ALL CAN BE INSPECTED FOR A MINIMUM HOUSING.
THERE WAS A VERY, UH, COMPREHENSIVE LIST THAT HUD REQUIRES PROPERTIES GO THROUGH WHEN THEY'RE BEING ASSESSED FOR HUD TYPE HOUSING.
WHEN YOU USE THAT SAME LIST, WHEN WE GO THROUGH SOME THINGS ARE MENTAL HOUSING, REAL MENTAL HOUSING, STATE BUILDING CODE ISSUES, SOME AREN'T, BUT IT'S ALL ON THE SAME LIST.
I PROVIDED THAT IN YOUR PACKETS FOR REVIEW.
SO OUR NEW HOUSING INSPECTOR WILL GO THROUGH, CHECK EVERYTHING OFF, FILL IN THINGS.
AND, UM, IF THEY FAIL, UM, WE'LL BE IN TOUCH TO SCHEDULE THE MEETING.
THIS IS REALLY WHAT WE DO EVERY DAY AND I'M IN ONE HOUSING PROCESS.
SO WE HAVE AN INSPECTION, WE PROVIDE A LIST OF THINGS FOR THE HOMEOWNERS TO DO.
WE CONDUCT A MEETING WITH THEM TO DETERMINE WHEN, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND ESTABLISH A MEANINGFUL TIMEFRAME TO GET THAT WORK DONE.
AND WE MOVE FORWARD LIKE THAT.
AND WHAT IF I CAN'T FIX MY HOUSE, WHICH WILL PROBABLY BE, UH, WE'LL GET THAT QUESTION A LOT.
EVERYBODY QUALIFIES AS LOW TO MODERATE INCOME INDIVIDUALS WILL BE PLACED IN OUR CDBG ARE GONNA BE FAIR WITH PROGRAM FOR REQUIRED REPAIRS FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, COSTS TO THE HOMEOWNER.
THESE ARE HOMEOWNERS, THESE ARE HOMEOWNERS.
SO WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT IS, UH, NOT MUCH TO IT.
UH, THE STATE STATUTE REALLY DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY OF THIS AT ALL.
UM, SO WE'RE TAKING A LITTLE EXTRA STEP TO, UH, PROVIDE A LITTLE NOTICE TO PEOPLE UPON TO GIVE THEM A CHECKLIST OF THINGS THAT THEY, UM, THAT THEY FAIL OR DON'T FAIL ON AN AREA TO MAYBE EXPAND ON WHAT THAT IS IN THE, UH, IN THE CHECKLIST ITSELF.
SO INFORMING PEOPLE, AND NOW WE GO THROUGH THE NORMAL PROCESS OF GETTING IT FIXED, AND WE ALSO HAVE A METHODOLOGY TO FIX, TO ADDRESS, UM, LOW INCOME HOMEOWNERS.
THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA WORK OUT.
QUESTIONS, PUBLISHERS JUST WANT TO HAVE A TIMELINE FROM INSPECTIONS TO WHEN THEY NEED TO HAVE IT ACTUALLY TIME WHAT IT IS.
SO IF IT'S A WINDOW, YOU KNOW, SIX WEEKS.
IF IT'S A MAJOR ROOF AND FLOOR TO GO 18 MONTHS.
BUT ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, IF, IF SOMEBODY SAYS I'LL GET, I, YOU KNOW, LOOK OUT, I'LL GET THIS DONE IN 90 DAYS.
UM, I HAVE A REALLY GOOD, I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT THE RENTAL PROPERTY VERSUS THE HOMEOWNER, BECAUSE I THINK THE LAST PART ON IT, IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, I THINK WE ALL CONCURRED DID THAT AS A HOMEOWNER HOME LATE, BUT UP BOOK, UH, LIKE, UH, WHEN WILL MY PROPERTY BE EXPECTED? THE PROPERTY IS SCHEDULED INSPECTION, THE OWNER AND TENANT, WHICH INDICATES THAT YOUR LOOK THAT WHEN YOU SAY OWNER, AND IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A LANDLORD TYPE RANGER AROUND PROPERTY.
BUT I MEAN, SHOULD THAT BE THE OWNER AND OR TENANT? I MEAN, THAT, THAT WE CUT THAT THE INSPECTION IS POOR HOMEOWNER AND ORLANDO, A RENTAL PROPERTY.
UM, THEY HAVE JUST TO TRY TO, UM, ADDRESS THAT A LITTLE BIT.
I CAN PUT A COUPLE MORE SENTENCES IN TRY TO CLARIFY THAT A LITTLE MORE, BUT THE IDEA IS IF YOU'RE A LANDLORD AND YOU OWN A PROPERTY, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO GET NOTICED THAT INSPECTION'S COMING IN.
ALSO, IF YOU LIVE THERE, UM, COMMON COURTESY IS YOU'RE GOING TO GET NOTICED ALL THIS STUFF.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
YOU CAN JUST NOTICE THE OWNER.
I, I JUST, I'M JUST TRYING TO KEEP THAT CLARITY.
I CAN JUST PUT, UH, THE OWNER AND IN CASE OF RENTAL PROPERTIES, THE TENANT.
THAT, THAT, THAT KIND OF THING IS FINE.
AND THEN ON THE LAST ONE, WHEN YOU SAY ALL GUN OWNERS WHO QUALIFY AS LOW OR MODERATE
[00:15:01]
INCOME, I WOULD PUT PARENTHESIS, NOT LANDLORD OR SOME COMMENT SUCH AS THAT, SO THAT THERE IS TRUE, TRUE CLARITY THAT THE CBG FUNDS CAN ONLY BE USED FOR A HOME LOAN OR LANDLORDS THAT DON'T QUALIFY AS LOW MOD.YEAH, BECAUSE A LANDLORD IS A LANDLORD IS LOW MOD, THEN THEY IN THEORY COULD ON AN OCCUPIED.
I KNOW, ARE YOU SPEAKING TO THE HINT? I'M NOT GREAT SENSE.
IT IS A RENTAL PROPERTY COULD QUALIFY FOR CBD FUNDS OWNER OCCUPIED.
I MEAN, THAT KIND OF CLARITY AS PER THAT I THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL.
ALSO, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT AGAIN? I PUT THAT AS CONFUSING.
SO THEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, WELL, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS RECEIVING FUNDS.
SO IF YOU WERE THE HOMEOWNER, IF YOU'RE A HOME MORNING AND LIVE THERE, YOU OWN THE HOME ON THE DEED.
UM, AND YOU ARE A LOW TO MODERATE INCOME AND THERE'S A, IT'S A SCALE PUT OUT EVERY, EVERY, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT, HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH THEY UPDATED.
THERESA PROBABLY KNOWS THAT, BUT IT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY WHO RECEIVES OUR CDBG FUNDS HAS TO BE LOW TO MODERATE INCOME.
SO IF YOU QUALIFY AS LOW TO MODERATE INCOME AND YOU OWN YOUR HOME, AND YOU HAVE TO DO REPAIRS BASED ON THESE INSPECTIONS, THEN YOU WILL BE PLACED IN OUR CURRENT CDBG PROGRAM, WHICH HAS A URGENT REPAIR PROGRAM ASPECT TO IT.
YOU'LL BE PUT IN THAT PROGRAM.
AND THAT WILL EMOTION THERE AND GET THOSE REPAIRS MADE UNDER THE CDBG PROGRAM.
AND IF YOU'RE A RENTER AND THE PERSON THAT OWNS THE HOME IS ALSO QUALIFIED, MODERATE.
SO WHAT DID THE SAME THING TO GO ON WITH THAT? YOU EITHER OWN THE HOME AND LIVE THERE, RIGHT? OR YOU RENT THEM.
DON'T PUT THAT THAT'S, THAT'S THE LINE IN THE SAND.
MR. DON'T WANT TO JUMP IN WITH A QUESTION HERE WHENEVER IT'S HUNTER.
UH, JUST KINDA BUILDING OFF OF THAT LAST POINT THERE, I THINK THERE WAS A MAKING AN ADDRESS, A QUESTION THAT CAME UP BEFORE, WHERE IT SAYS ALL HOMEOWNERS SHOULD QUALIFY AS UNMODERN.
CAN WE SAY ALL OWNER OCCUPANTS INVOLVED? AND DO WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING IN THERE THAT, UM, MAKES REFERENCE TO, THERE WILL BE NO KIND OF ENFORCEMENT OR TARGETS OF THIS LAW.
UM, I KNOW WE'VE KIND OF, WE'RE, WE'RE BEING CAREFUL TO NOT PUT ON THE BACK END AT THIS POINT RIGHT NOW, BUT I DIDN'T WANT, I DON'T WANT TO THE NEXT QUESTION.
WHENEVER I READ THAT WAS OKAY, ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE ME ALONE WHILE I'M ON THAT LIST? AND THEN SECONDLY, IF I DON'T FOLLOW BY THE LOW TO MODERATE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ME? BUT AGAIN, I KNOW WE'RE BEING, WE'LL BE CAREFUL IN THAT LANGUAGE, NO COST THE HOMEOWNER ONCE IN THE CDBG PROGRAM, NO FURTHER ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE NEED TO PUT IN SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS? I THINK THAT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE THING.
I MEAN, I'M THINKING PROCESS ADMINISTRATOR WOULD JUST RATHER BE IN A PROGRAM AFTER SOMEONE'S IN THE PROGRAM.
WE CAN SAY, YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE OKAY.
NOW, YOU KNOW, CAUSE IT MAY TAKE 18 MONTHS TO GO THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
I MEAN, THEY'RE ON THE LIST AND THERE'S A PROCESS, BUT IT'S A LONG PROCESS.
WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS.
WE HAVE THE NEW TITLE SEARCHES, WE INCOME VERIFICATION.
IT'S NOT JUST HIRING A CONTRACTOR CONTRACTOR.
I WOULD ADD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RESIDENTIAL INSPECTIONS, EXPECTING PROGRAM ENFORCEMENT TO CONTACT X, AND THEN THAT WOULD BE THE DEAD HORSE BECAUSE WE'VE GONE AROUND AND AROUND ABOUT THIS, BUT FOR PURPOSES OF THE MINUTES, UM, THERE'S A FATAL DEFECT, I THINK, UM, IN THIS PROGRAM, BECAUSE IF WE'RE IN A NON OWNER OCCUPIED SITUATION WHERE THERE'S A PLANET AND THERE'S A HOMEOWNER, DOESN'T FALL BACK
[00:20:02]
AND CHOOSES NOT TO BRING THEIR HOUSE UP TO THE MINIMUM CODE, THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN KINDS OF CLASSES AND NOT ADDRESSED HERE.I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO ADDRESS IT.
UM, BUT THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT THAT THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT IS ALREADY, IT'S ALREADY COLD.
THEY DO CERTAIN THINGS ALREADY.
ANYWAY, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I THINK THE CONVERSATION WE HAD A MEETING TAMMY WAS TALKING ABOUT REHABILITATION AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE WERE TRYING TO GET TOGETHER PROGRAM THAT PRESENT TO THE, ALL OF THEM.
THEY GET IT APPROVED AND THE IMPLEMENTATION WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
THEN JOEL, WE WORKED OUT SOME OF THOSE, I THOUGHT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST MEETING.
I JUST HAVE JUST ONE SUGGESTION.
WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER, OR WAS REDEVELOPING THE CITY CONSIDER EVER DURING A SLOAN VIDEO ABOUT THIS PUTTING ON THE WEBSITE? JUST AN INFORMATIONAL TYPE OF, I DUNNO.
I MEAN, IT SOUNDS A LITTLE, BUT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY TO ENGAGE HAVING INSPECTOR MAKE IT NON-THREATENING, YOU KNOW, UM, KIND OF, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND YOU KNOW, AS TO JAMIE'S POINT ADDING, YOU KNOW, ADDING A CONTACT, UM, IT'S JUST NICE TO HAVE MAYBE A PERSON THAT RATHER THAN JUST WORDS ON SITE.
SO PEOPLE ARE VISUAL AND SOME PEOPLE, SO YEAH, WE CAN TALK TO
AND HERE'S YOUR LIST OF $40,000? UM, YOU HAVE ALL WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT.
PROBABLY JUST LISTENING AND TAKING IT ALL IN MY QUESTION TO YOU IS THIS HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMAN.
NO, IT JUST HAS TO, WE HAVE TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE BOTH FOR THE BOARD OF ALL OF THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
I MEAN, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? YOU KNOW, AND I, AND I UNDERSTAND, UM, YOU KNOW, JAMIE'S CONCERNS, BUT I THINK, UH, MARIA SUGGESTION IS A GOOD ONE AND THAT, UH, BY HAVING A VIDEO, HAVE IT OUT THERE, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS THREATENING.
YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD ASK THESE QUESTIONS OF THE PERSON TO ANSWER THEM.
AND IT BECOMES A LITTLE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, MY CONCERN HAS ALWAYS BEEN, IT'S NOT THE HOMEOWNER AS MUCH AS THE TENANT, THE TENANT IS IN MOST CASES GETTING SCREWED BECAUSE THE LANDLORD DOESN'T CARE.
THEY DO WHATEVER THEY SAY, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT MOVE.
AND THAT'S MY CONCERN, YOU KNOW, WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE GO? WHAT DO THEY DO? HOW THAT'S, WHO WE REALLY NEED TO COME AFTER IT'S THE LANDLORDS, THE HOMEOWNERS, THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THEIR HOMES IN MOST CASES WOULD PROBABLY TAKE CARE OF IT.
AND PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, HOW CAN WE TAKE CARE OF THESE LANDLORDS THAT DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROPERTIES? YOU GOT IT.
YOU GOT TO START OFF SOME VERY, BUT SEE WHERE WE ARE FOR 30 YEARS AGO.
I NEVER, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME LOOKING AT THE FIRST ONE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING WALL.
[5. Committee Updates]
ON YOUR AGENDA IS COMMUNITY, UM, UPDATES.WE'RE GOING TO SCHOOL VIA GARY.
AND THEN IF WE, I THINK WE'RE TO HAVE IT HERE.
[00:25:01]
OKAY.WELL FIRST I WILL GIVE AN UPDATE ON OUR JUNK CARS.
UM, STAFF'S DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB HERE OF, UH, CREATING THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH FOS.
DO YOU HAVE A DEA AGENT? DO YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES?
WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ELECTRONIC, YOU GOT ANOTHER ONE I DON'T NEED
SO WE GOT A TWO-PART DEAL HERE.
UM, SO THIS IS A FLYER THAT WILL BE DISSEMINATED, UM, THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, AROUND WITH OTHER PUBLIC OUTREACH.
UH, BUT SO WE HAVE, UH, PART OF THE FOS.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM.
THEY NEED CERTAIN INFORMATION BEFORE, UM, BEFORE THEY CAN GO ONTO THE PROPERTY AND REMOVE THE VEHICLE.
SO WE'VE CREATED, ALICE HAS GONE INTO GIS AND CREATED A, I DON'T WANNA SAY SURVEY, BUT A SURVEY IT'S CALLED
WE'RE GETTING THE DATA HERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE TO SEND IT TO, UH, TO FOSS.
SO ON THOSE THERE'S ALSO THE WE'RE GOING TO PUT A QR CODE ON THOSE FLYERS, UM, ALONG WITH A LINK TO WHERE THIS WILL SIT ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE.
SO PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO WANT TO TAKE THEIR PHONE.
YOU ARE A CODE OFF OF THAT TO GET TO HERE, TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT FOSTER REQUIRES, UM, DOWN TO AUTHORIZATION I HEREBY AUTHORIZE.
UM, AND YEAH, SO BARI
UM, SO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF STEPS IN HERE.
THESE VIN NUMBERS THAT WE GET FROM THE CARS.
UM, I NEED TO SEND THOSE OVER TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I HAVE THAT PIPELINE SET UP ALREADY.
SO I'LL SEND THAT OVER TO THE CAPTAIN.
HE RUNS HIS THING STOLEN, NOT STOLEN, COMES BACK OKAY.
FROM THERE, THE REST OF THIS INFORMATION IS THE STUFF PHOS REQUIRES.
THE COOL PART ABOUT THIS IS THIS FITS ALL THIS INFORMATION OUT INTO A KIND OF SEARCHABLE DATABASE.
SO IT'S NOT JUST THE DATA DOESN'T SIT THERE.
IT'S NOT ALL JUMBLED IT'S STUFF THAT WE CAN SEND OFF THE FOS IN A SPREADSHEET FORMAT WHERE WE CAN KIND OF ORGANIZE.
THEY SAID, THEY'D COME AND FAUCET.
I'LL PICK UP ONE, THEY'LL PICK UP A HUNDRED, BUT I DON'T WANT THAT.
I'D RATHER, I'D RATHER DO THE HUNDRED.
UM, SO WITH THE BOARDS, UH, WITH THE COMMISSION'S APPROVAL, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND START THIS, UH, PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGN ABOUT THIS AND THE COMMUNITY AND, AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE JUNK VEHICLES.
BECAUSE IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN, IF YOU, NEXT TIME YOU DRIVE THROUGH DUFFY FIELD, UH, GREATER DUTTON, FEEL THERE, KEEP AN EYE OUT ON ABANDONED VEHICLES BECAUSE IT IS A, THE MORE YOU SEE, THE MORE YOU SEE, AND EVEN SOME NEW ONES SHOW UP, UH, SOME PLACES THAT HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED SITTING UP ON BLOCKS.
SO
UM, THERE'S JUST THE WHOLE REDEVELOPMENT AREA THAT YOU WOULD SAY A GREATER BUCKET FIELD, BUT
UM, SO THAT'S NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WORKING ON THE NEXT CLEANUP FOR THE AREA SOUTH OF BROAD STREET, LONG WALK WALKED OUT ON ME SOMETIME END OF JANUARY AND STILL GETTING
[00:30:01]
THE EXACT DATE FROM PUBLIC WORKS.BUT FOR ME, UM, THE LAST WEEK OF JANUARY AT SOME POINT IS WHEN WE'LL DO THAT CLEAN UP THERE, I'D LIKE TO COINCIDE THE CARS WITH THAT CLEAN UP SO WE CAN MAKE A BIGGER, SO THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF IT NOW.
MAYBE WE CAN SAY 20, 30 CARS OUT AT THE SAME DAY.
ANY QUESTIONS? SO IT'S, BUT IT'S JUST TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA, RIGHT? CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE ISSUES OVER THERE.
I MEAN, HONESTLY ALL THE VANDAL AGENT BOSS DOESN'T CARE WHERE IT COMES FROM.
CAUSE WE HAVE THOSE COUPLE ISSUES.
I KNOW THAT ALDERMAN HARRIS HAS IN HER WARD THAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO HELP HER.
SO I THINK IF THEY SAID THEY'LL TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF IT.
SO LIKE SEND THE VOLUME SHOULD BE OUTSIDE THE DOOR AND WE PUT IT ALL ON OUR WEBSITE.
IT HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH COMMUNITY.
WE WOULD PUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE AND ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.
SO, UM, I ALREADY HAVE ONE, UH, MY FIRST AFRICANS MIKE LIFT, ARE YOU HAVING ONE JUMP ON THE FIRST ONE IN THE PROGRAM? OKAY.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE F WE'RE GOING TO PUT A LINK TO THIS ON OUR MAIN PAGE OR THE CITY PAGE.
THERE'LL BE JUNK VEHICLES TO GET IT, TO GO TO HERE.
WHEN CAN WE START LIKE ADVERTISING? YOU'RE TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT US.
CAUSE I'D LIKE TO MAYBE PUT IT OUT AND INFORMATION.
OKAY, SO YOU DON'T, BEFORE I DO THAT, I WANT TO DIRECT PEOPLE TO GO AND SIGN THAT.
IS THIS ALREADY ON THE WEBSITE? NO, IT'S NOT ON THE WEBSITE BECAUSE IT'S SURVEY 1, 2, 3 ART GIS.COM SHARE.
SO WHEN WILL THAT BE TO ALICE? WHEN CAN WE GET THE QR CODE? CREATES AN AUTOMATIC.
WELL, I'LL SEND YOU ONCE I SEND YOU THE WE'LL SEND IT OUT TO THE BOARD, THEN WE CAN, THEN I CAN JUST DISSEMINATE IT.
WE CAN ON THE WEBSITE WORK CHRISTMAS PRESENT, BUT WE CAN GET AN EXIT CARD.
YOU KNOW, WHEN WE CREATE THE SURVEY? NO.
UM, SO AFTER THE LAST MEETING, I I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I SPOKE WITH UM, REGENER, UM, BUT LIKE, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, COMMISSIONER WALLACE, WE EMAILED AND SHE HAD PROVIDED ME THE NAMES OF, UM, TWO OF THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS THAT, UM, SHE HAD.
AND SO I WAS JUST TRYING TO, I HAVEN'T, I HAVEN'T REACHED OUT TO THAT.
UM, WE DID RECONNECT WITH OUR SMALLER GROUP, UM, WITH, UM, NCC ON DECEMBER 8TH.
AND JEFF WAS A PART OF THAT MEETING ALONG WITH, UM, JOHN, UM, AND UM, MR. JONES AND DR.
AND I GUESS I'M STILL, UM, I WAS STILL CURIOUS AND I WAS STILL, UM, TRYING TO DETERMINE A WAY THAT WE CAN JUST EVEN WITHOUT DOING THE LECTURE SERIES BECAUSE WE WEREN'T, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T QUITE SURE WE WEREN'T SURE HOW THAT WAS GOING TO WORK AT THIS POINT.
UM, IF WE CAN MAYBE JUST HAVE A COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS MY QUESTION TO DR.
LIVINGSTON AND I DISCUSSED THIS WITH JEFF BEFORE HIM.
MAYBE WE JUST DO THE SURVEYS AND JUST TRY TO GET SOME INFORMATION IN THE INTERIM CONSISTENCY.
HOW, HOW ARE YOU, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE PEOPLE DOING? HOW ARE YOU FEELING? SO I BROUGHT THAT UP TO DR.
LEVY'S AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, THEY DO THIS AND THEY HAVE THAT, THEY HAVE THOSE THREE AND HE SAID, OF COURSE WE CAN DO THAT.
BUT HE SAID THAT HAVING AN, YOU KNOW, LIKE A PRELIMINARY, UM, EITHER, YOU KNOW, A JUMPING OFF POINT OR EVENT, UM, IT REALLY WOULD NOT, IT WOULDN'T LAND THOUGH, BECAUSE YOU REALLY HAVE TO KIND OF START AT THAT POINT.
SO, YOU KNOW, I WAS, WE WERE JUST KIND OF TALKING AND HE WAS GIVING ME A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF AN ETHANOL DRAWN LAW, UM, THAT THEY WERE DOING.
AND I'M GOING TO READ THIS TO YOU.
IT'S A PARTNERSHIP WITH NORTH HOWARD CENTER UNIVERSITY AND WHAT TO DO CLINICAL ENTRANCE, RELATIONAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE.
AND THE NAME OF THE FM DRAMA THIS YEAR IS A CRISIS OF MOMENTS.
AND IT'S BASICALLY, UM, HOW CAN WE USE THE COLOR OF MY, WHEN THE PANDEMIC THEY'VE DONE EVERYONE DRAMAS BEFORE THEY'VE DONE THEM FOR BREAST CANCER AND PROSTATE CANCER AND CERVICAL CANCER, BECAUSE HE'S ASSESSED THESE.
LTD IS VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN THESE PRODUCTIONS, UM, THROUGH THE MCC PARTNERSHIP.
SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT AND WE'VE HAD THIS CLIENT, UM, YOU KNOW, HE WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, HOW THEY WERE GOING TO PRESENT THIS.
IT'S ACTUALLY DECEMBER 19TH AT THREE O'CLOCK.
[00:35:01]
UM, SO IT'S THIS SATURDAY AND THEY WERE DOING IT, OF COURSE, WE'RE MAKING TYPICALLY DONE AND THEY'VE DONE THEM IN PERSON IN A THEATER, BUT BECAUSE OF PROBATE, THIS IS A NEW THING FOR THEM.UM, BUT THEY'LL STILL, THEY'LL STILL HAVE A PRETTY, UM, DATA COLLECTION WHEN THEY ASK THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY ASK A SURVEY QUESTION, THAT SURVEY QUESTIONS, IT COULD BE, I GUESS, UM, TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT PHOBIC AND, UM, AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY DO THE VIDEO AND THEN THEY HAVE A LIVE PRESENTATION WITH EPIDEMIOLOGISTS AND NEUROLOGISTS.
AND, UM, ACTUALLY DOCTOR MADE ME BARRETT WHO WAS THE HEALTH, EQUITIES, UM, PERSON THAT WAS ON THAT ORIGINAL LIST.
SHE'LL BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION THOUGH.
SO THEY'LL HAVE THIS LIVE Q AND A AFTER.
UM, AND THEN WHAT THEY'LL DO IS THEY'LL GO BACK IN ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER AND THEN DETERMINE IF ANY OF THIS INFORMATION THAT THEY PRESENT AFFECT BEHAVIORS AND CHANGES, UM, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
SO I WAS LIKE, CAN WE USE THAT? AND HE'S LIKE, YES, YOU MAY.
SO, UM, SO OF COURSE WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME DECEMBER 19, THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS SINCE OCTOBER, BUT WHEN WE DID SAY, YOU KNOW, MICHAEL, GIVE ME A TIMELINE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS GOAL? WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE A REASONABLE TIME FOR US TO, YOU KNOW, TO MAYBE PROPOSE TO DO THIS? SO HE SAID, ORIGINALLY HE SAID APRIL, AND LIKE, YEAH, THAT'S TOO LATE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, APRIL, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT BE A LITTLE POST PANDEMIC, RIGHT.
SO HE SAID, WHAT ABOUT FEBRUARY FOR OUR FIRST BLACK HISTORY MONTH? IT'LL GIVE YOU AMPLE TIME.
AND IT, YOU KNOW, JEFF AND I WERE DISCUSSING THAT.
WE CAN ALLOW YOU TO WATCH THIS.
HE'S GOING TO SEND ME THE LINK ON THURSDAY AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
I MEAN, SO IF THERE WAS ANY ANXIETY OR QUESTIONS OR, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, AS WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING TO BE PRESENTED AND WHAT FORMAT WILL BE PRESENTED.
UM, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY THIS PARTICULAR AFTER DRAMA IS BEING DONE AS A SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, UM, TYPE OF, UM, PRESENTATION.
AND SO THEY'RE USING SATIRE, UM, WITH THE VERY SERIOUS SUBJECT MATTER AND THEY HAVE IT'S 17.
UM, AND THEY DO HAVE COMMERCIALS IN BETWEEN.
ONE OF THE COMMERCIALS IS WHAT WAS IT, FOUR, OKAY.
FOR APOCALYPSE, FOR THE USING HUMOR.
UM, AND, UM, AND WHEN THEY WERE DISCUSSING DOING THIS, THIS IS LIKE YOUR LIVING.
SO NOW HE'S SITTING AT THE TABLE WITH YOU.
HE SAID, I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO GET RACE, UM, YOU KNOW, INVOLVED IN THIS PRODUCTION, BUT DUKE URGE ME TO DO THAT.
YOU DID HEAR HIM SAY THAT MANY TIMES HE DID THAT.
UM, AND SO ONE OF THE SCENES IS CALLED, UM, COVID HAS COLOR.
SO THEY'LL KIND OF UNPACK THE RACIAL ISSUE BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST BEING ENFORCED FROM HIS COLOR.
UM, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WOULD HELP US AND MYSELF INCLUDED TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, UM, IN A PRESENTATION LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PRESENTING IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.
AND SO I, I, I WOULD ASK, I SPOKE TO HIM OR I ACTUALLY TEXTED HIM THIS WEEK AND I WILL MEET WITH HIM TOMORROW.
WE'RE HAVING THIS MEETING TOMORROW AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH OUR LITTLE SUBCOMMITTEE.
SO I'M HOPING THAT THE LINK WILL BE SENT TO ME BY THURSDAY.
AND I CAN HAVE JEFF SEND IT OUT TO THE COMMITTEE AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN WATCH IT ON DECEMBER 19.
I KNOW IT'S A SATURDAY IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME, BUT I WOULD JUST THINK IT'S REALLY FUN THOUGH.
IT DOESN'T, THAT WOULD BE SAFE.
THAT COULD BE WATCHED MAYBE I THINK MORE, I'M SURE IT CAN.
UM, BUT IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THAT DAY AND IF NOT, UM, YOU KNOW, I I'M SURE TO REPORT IT.
SO I'LL KNOW MORE AND ELYSSA I'LL LET YOU KNOW, AFTER TOMORROW, ONCE I TALK TO THEM, I'LL ASK THEM THOSE QUESTIONS.
I THINK WE CAN'T SEE IT, YOU KNOW, ON THAT PARTICULAR TIME, ON THAT DAY, UM, YOU KNOW, HOW COULD YOU GO BACK AND REFERENCE IT? SO, SO THAT'S WHERE WE STAND.
SO MOVING FORWARD, WE WOULD LIKE TO WORK ON, UM, THE PROGRAM FOR FEBRUARY, INCLUDING THIS.
WE WOULD TELL OUR, OUR, YOU KNOW, OUR PANEL TO PEOPLE THAT ARE LOCALLY HERE.
UM, AND WE COULD ALSO, YOU KNOW, INVITE PEOPLE LIKE HAVE DR.
LIVINGSTON THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE DR.
BARON IF YOU IMPROVE AFTER YOU SEE, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, UM, AS PART OF THE PANEL, THAT'S LOCAL AND, YOU KNOW, DR.
FISHER WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT DOING THIS AS WELL.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN USE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF THE HOSPITAL, YOU KNOW, OUR OWN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, UM, THAT HAVE DEALT WITH THIS.
AND ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY'RE ESSENTIAL WORKERS BECAUSE IT AFFECTS PEOPLE LIKE THAT, UM, IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
SO THAT'S PART OF THE DISCUSSION.
SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR TODAY AND WE'RE MOVING INTO TOMORROW AND THEN WE PLAN TO MEET AGAIN.
UM, I THINK JANUARY 6TH, I JUST WANT TO PROPOSE AFTER THE HOLIDAY.
SO IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND IF YOU CAN'T WATCH IT, IF I GO GET YOU THAT INFORMATION TO SEE HOW THAT LANDS, ANY QUESTIONS OKAY.
IN BULLETS, WHICH THE LAW IS, UM, PRETTY POTENT OR IS IT, WHAT DO WE
[00:40:01]
WANT? YOU'RE SENDING THE SATURDAY, THURSDAY, RIGHT? YEAH.THE LINK, THE LINK WILL COME OUT ON THURSDAY AND THEN I WILL SEND IT TO JEFF.
AND THEN THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION, UM, IS ON DECEMBER 19TH TO SATURDAY, ESSENTIALLY.
UM, SO WHEN THEY DO THE, UH, WHEN THEY DO THE EDUTAINMENT ON, UM, COVID, UM, UM, ALL THIS, ARE THEY, ARE THEY ILLUSTRATE THE CAUSE AND EFFECT, OR ARE THEY, UM, ILLUSTRATE THE BOOK CALLS AND THEN THE FOLLOWUP, UM, WITH REMEDIES ON HOW AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY CAN, UM, DO THINGS TO SIM, UH, WHAT HAPPENS ONCE YOU FINALLY GET COVID? UH, OUR RATES STILL TOTALLY DOWN ONCE WE GET IT.
AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SAY, Y YOU KNOW, SAME PERSON OF OBSTACLE WITH DIABETES, OR, UH, COMPROMISED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SEEM TO KIND OF SOMETIMES COME OUT OF IT.
SO IS THERE SOMETHING LIKE THAT THERE MAY BE MAYBE HEALTHY DIET, MAYBE VITAMINS.
NOW THEY'RE SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, BE SAINT NOW HAS THINGS THAT CAN, UH, FIGHT COVID AND IT GIVES YOU A BETTER CHANCE ONCE YOU GET IT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WHEN OUR CITIZENS CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES PRIOR TO ATTRACTING IT.
I THINK THAT'LL BE PROVIDED BEDROOMS WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT.
I'M NOT, I CAN'T
I DID WRITE DOWN UNTIL THE PAPER APOCALYPSE UM, I KNOW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO ADDRESS, YOU KNOW, THE RANDOM, I MEAN, I, I, I BELIEVE THAT AND I CAN, I'LL EMAIL YOU SOME MORE, BUT I THINK WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT, THEY'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE AS MUCH INFORMATION, UM, YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO AT THE END OF THIS, YOU KNOW, SEE IF WHAT THEY'RE PROVIDING HELPS CHANGE ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS.
SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT YES, THERE WILL BE A CAUSAL FACTOR.
I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT AN EFFORT OF DRAMA IS BECAUSE I HAD TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I LOOKED IT UP AND I HAVE A DEFINITION IN CASE YOU WANT TO KNOW.
SO IT IS, IT'S KIND OF LIKE A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH.
SO WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS, IS IT, THE METHOD DRAWN IS AN INNOVATIVE KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION STRATEGY THAT USES THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCES FOR DISSEMINATION OR RESULTS, RESEARCH RESULTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE THEIR INFORMATION AND THIS IS HOW THEY'RE PRESENTING IT.
UM, AND THEN THIS IS HOW THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ACTUALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, DETERMINING IF THIS IS GOING TO HELP COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
AND AGAIN, THEY'VE DONE IT WITH DIABETES.
I HAVE SOMETHING I THINK IS CALLED, UM, WHAT WAS IT, HIGH SUGAR OR SOMETHING, SOMETHING.
AND SO, AND HE'S ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THAT.
WE'VE NEVER KIND OF REALLY, YOU KNOW, I, I NEVER REALLY, HE SENT ME HOME FOR BREAST CANCER BECAUSE I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
AND, UM, BUT WE NEVER REALLY HAD, YOU KNOW, DURING IT, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WAS A LITTLE FARFETCHED, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, TO ME IT SEEMS VERY INTRIGUING AND EXCITING TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT I WOULD NEVER, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I WANT TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE AND, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL BEING ABLE TO OBSERVE IT MIGHT BE, UM, MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO YOU.
SO, AND LAST PART, TURN IT OVER TO MS. UH, DOC, COUNSELOR, I'M SORRY.
UH, S Y UH, IS THERE, I KNOW IT'S LATE NOTICE.
CAN YOU COMMIT YOU TO THEM? COULD THEY DO A LITTLE, CAN THEY TOUCH ON, UH, THE ANXIETY RELATED TO THE VACCINE? UM, I DON'T, I WILL ASK HIM, HE, I DON'T KNOW, JOHN ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND I WASN'T SURE I FORGET WHAT HIS RESPONSE WAS.
I'LL, I'LL, WE'LL DEFINITELY NOT, YOU KNOW, THE OLD PLAYWRIGHT WORKED OUT ALREADY.
THERE IS A QUESTION AND ANSWER, AND SO, YEAH.
AND IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, I THINK YOU, IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, YOU MAY.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, WE WERE GONNA, YOU KNOW, OUR ORIGINAL THOUGHT WAS WE WOULD JUST, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT OFFICIALLY DOING IT, WE CAN SHARE THIS IS GOING TO BE PUBLIC, SO ANYBODY CAN LOOK AT IT.
UM, BUT WE FELT LIKE THAT WOULDN'T BE, YOU KNOW, WOULDN'T BE THE WAY WE'D WANT TO GO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, TO DISCUSS THIS AND EVERYBODY CAN HAVE A CONSENSUS THAT WE WILL MOVE FORWARD DOING THIS IN FEBRUARY.
SO, UM, BUT YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, UM, DURING THE Q AND A, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO US, BUT I WILL ASK AN ORIGIN.
AND JAMIE ALWAYS THINKING TOO, AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, AND THEN I CAN, ONCE WE GET SOME INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I'M SURE THAT STRESS,
[00:45:01]
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, YOU KNOW, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES WILL COME UP.UM, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE CAN MAYBE MOVE FORWARD AND DEVELOP, UM, THAT DISCUSSION, THE PROBLEM SPEAKERS.
I THINK THAT, UM, THE ONLY REASON WHY WE'VE ALWAYS COME BACK TO THIS AND, YOU KNOW, GETTING TO DR LIVINGSTON'S POINT IS HOW THE ARTICLE THAT I GAVE YOU.
WE DON'T WANT THIS TO SEEM LIKE A PRESCRIPTION AND WE'RE JUST GIVING INFORMATION AND GIVING INFORMATION, BUT WE DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, HOW THAT'S FALLING, RIGHT.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, UM, YOU KNOW, APPROPRIATELY, UM, WHAT THEY NEED TO HEAR IN THE SAME TIME, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE, WE CARE ABOUT THEM.
SO THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD INTRODUCTION TO THAT.
AND, UM, AND GIVE US SOME, YOU KNOW, EDUCATE US AS A GROUP.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, MR.
WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM THAT THEY WERE OUT THERE IN THE COLD, AND SINCE WE GAVE THEM SOMETHING IN WRITING, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RESPOND TO US FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS NOW.
SO, BUT THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE, UM, HAVING CRAWLED UNDERNEATH IT AND BEEN INSIDE IT.

IT'S NOT LIKE, HEY, THEY'RE NOT UNDER CONTRACT TO SELL IT.
IT'S ONE OF THESE, WHAT YEAR IS THAT HOUSE? YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
YEAH, NO, IT'S, IT'S REALLY AN IS, UH, DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE'S ANY TAX CUTS OUTSIDE THE FLOOD PLAIN.
UM, IT'S A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
UM, AND IT COMES WITH AN ABANDONED VEHICLE ON THE LOT TO FACADE.
OH, LAST REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA IN 2016.
UM, SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE REACH OUT TO US OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.
ALSO, AS WORD GETS OUT THAT, UM, THE REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION IS LOOKING TO PURCHASE PROPERTY AND REDEVELOP THE AREA.
SO WE'RE CHASING OPPORTUNITIES IN DIFFERENT SECTIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE JUST COMING TO US, UM, WITH THEIR PROPOSALS, I'M WORKING WITH, UH, WITH A PROMINENT LANDLORD RIGHT NOW IN THE COMMUNITY, TRYING TO PURCHASE TO A PHYSICAL GRADUATE LARGE PROPERTIES.
UM, SO MOVING FORWARD, THIS IS THE ONLY REAL THING WE GOT RIGHT NOW GOING ON.
UM, AND JUST GOT ANOTHER REQUEST YESTERDAY FROM SOMEONE WHO OWNED SOME LOTS, UM, UP IN THE NORTHWEST PORTION, BUT IT'S, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF UTILITY CONSTRUCT.
AND, UH, THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE, UM, IS, AS YOU CAN SEE, HAS NO STREETS OUTSIDE THE FLOODPLAIN, BUT HAS A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT, UH, CONSTRAINTS, UM, TO BUILD A STREET, WE UNDERSTAND WATER TO ALIGN AND YOU HAVE TO CLEAR A LOT.
UM, SO WE WEIGHING THAT OPPORTUNITY AT THIS POINT IN TIME, BUT WE'RE MOVING.
UM, ANOTHER, UH, PERSON COMMUNITIES HAS, UH, ANOTHER PROPERTY ON THE CONTRACT THAT THEY CONTACTED ME TODAY ABOUT, UH, WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY COULD DO WITH, IT HAPPENS TO BE ZONED IN A PRETTY, UM, FAVORABLE AREA FOR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING.
I FLOATED THAT IDEA SEEMED, UH, HE WAS OKAY WITH IT.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE, YOU KNOW, LITERALLY CONVERSATION HAPPENED AT FOUR 30.
UM, SO THESE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO ENOUGH IN THE HOUSING COMMITTEE WORLD IS, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU GET A LOT OF PHONE CALLS AND YOU GET A LOT OF PEOPLE'S PROGRAMS. WE CAN ACT YOU UP AND YOU HAVE TO WEED THROUGH IT.
UM, AND THEN KIP ULTIMATELY, UM, KNOWS EVERYTHING, BUT HE LETS ME RUN DOWN A HUNDRED GRAVATT HOLES BEFORE HE TELLS ME, BUT I LEARNED A LOT.
YEAH, NO, HE DEFINITELY ALWAYS BRINGS IT BACK TO THE DOLLARS AND CENTS.
