Thank you, Julie.

- [Julie] We have one RP format recommended for approval.

Again, we are requesting approval to issue this RFP, not approval to award any contracts at this time.

An RFP is necessary as opposed to a sealed bidding process, cause there is more than one solution to the scope requested and competitive proposals will assist in selecting the best solution.

This is from the transportation division of public works.

Request to solicit bike share operations by RFP.

The key factors to select a supplier are abilities, experience, and approach.

Responses are expected to be at no cost to the city.

For these reasons, the RFP is the best choice of solicitation formats.

Thank you, ma'am.

Now moving down to other business.

I think Ms. Madison has a report on some bond obligations for us this afternoon.

- Good afternoon council members.

- [Chairman Henderson] Good afternoon.

- You have in your packages, a report form called CT0253.

It's a state reporting form that is required whenever an entity issues that.

The city of Chattanooga by way of the electric power board has recently issued upon your approval, in June, and closed in the month of June, $71,000,000 of electric revenue bonds for the purpose of various EPB projects.

The state requires that we report to you after they issue those bonds, the results of the sale.

Here are those results.

The face amount of the bonds is $71,000,080.

Premium on those bonds was $4,500,000.

Those were the dollars that were received in addition to the over and above the face amount of the bonds.

The interest rate on those bonds were 1.927, which is phenomenal.

So, that's it.

You have in your package a copy of this report and you can see more detail.

That is, I have now met the requirements of the state.

Does anyone have any questions?

The electric power board is here because he likes seeing you guys, but at the end of the day he wanted to make absolutely certain that if you had any questions, that I could not answer he would be here to do so.

- [Chairman Henderson] Alright.

Any questions?

Councilman Ledford.

- [Councilman Ledford] No question Mr. Chairman but I do want to thank EPB for allowing Councilwoman Coonrod and I to witness the open bid process actually unfold, and we were able to verify that that process was done the way it should be done in an open bidding format.

I appreciate the opportunity.

Thank you.

- Alright, thank you.

Any other questions or comments?

Alright, very well.

Madam Attorney, before we get into our certificates of compliance, we do have one appointment to the police advisory board.

I'd like to take that at this time.

Councilwoman Burz.

- Mr.

Chair, I'd like to appoint Anthony Wiley to the police advisory and review committee representing district 6.

All of my colleagues have his resume.

I want to thank you, it's a one year appointment.

I want to thank you very much for agreeing to do this.

You're filling the shoes of a former judge that was on the committee, and I think you're aware of all the duties.

You understand you have to go through the school.

I just want to say thank you very much for agreeing to serve.

Do you have any questions or comments of us?

- [Anthony Wiley] I just want to say that it's my pleasure to serve my community in this capacity and thank you all for your consideration.

- Thank you for representing the district so well.

With that, I don't believe it needs voting approval.

(indistinct speaking) It does?

Oh, well great.

They'll all vote for you, I promise you.

- [Unknown Court Member] Well all I need's a motion.

- [Unknown Court Member] I move to approve.

- [Unknown Court Member] Second.

- Alright, we have a motion on the floor to appoint Mr. Wiley to the police advisory board with a proper second.

Are there any questions or comments before we vote?

Madam Clerk, roll call please.

- [Madam Clerk] Councilman Ledford.

- [Councilman Ledford] Yes.

- [Madam Clerk] Councilman Hester.

- [Councilman Hester] Yes.

- [Madam Clerk] Councilwoman Burz.

- [Councilwoman Burz] Of course.

- [Madam Clerk] Councilwoman Dotley.

- [Councilwoman Dotley] Yes.

- [Madam Clerk] Councilman Bert.

- [Councilman Bert] Yes.

- [Madam Clerk] Councilwoman Coonrod.

- [Councilwoman Coonrod] Yes.

- [Madam Clerk] Vice Chairman Smith.

- [Vice Chairman Smith] Yes.

- [Madam Clerk] Chairman Henderson.

- Yes.

- [Madam Clerk] Eight yeses.

- Motion is approved.

Congratulations Mr. Wiley, welcome aboard.

(clapping) - [Anthony Wiley] Thank you.

(clapping continues) - Alright, Madam Attorney, we now move into our certificate of compliance items.

- We have three certificates of compliance tonight.

The first is Publix Tennessee LLC number 1731.

The second is MapCo Express Incorporated doing business as Mapco number 3530.

And the third is MapCo Express doing business as Mapco number 3534, and both of the MapCos are for compliance for wine in a retail store.

And I will pass those certificates for signature.

- Okay.

Thank you ma'am.

If you'd just pass those around.

Alright, that concludes all items on our agenda this afternoon.

We now move to the portion of our agenda where we recognize persons wishing to address the council.

Are there any by show of hands, tonight, that would like to address the council.

Okay, thank you.

Alright, I'm gonna ask our attorney if she would read the rules to address the council and then you can be making your way up to the podium.

- [Attorney] Alright, if you wish to address council please line up at the podium.

You need to be recognized by Chairman Henderson before speaking at the microphone.

You may address city council only upon matters with legislative and within the legislative in quasi judicial role of the council, and we will limit your remarks to three minutes.

Thank you.

- [Chairman Henderson] Alright, Mr.

IT, would you give us three minutes on the clock.

Oh, there you go.

Thank you sir.

Alright, sir, if you would give us your name and your district number please.

- Hello, Joshua Capalis her.

Thank you for your time.

I really appreciate everyone being here for the important matters.

- [Chairman Henderson] Alright, could you give me your district number please?

- On behalf of all the people suffering.

I guess, you'd call it district zero at this point, cause they're not able to make it to the meeting.

So, if you'd let me complete my three minutes that'd be helpful.

My soul aches for those suffering in our city, the homeless, they're all over the city.

On July 10, 17 days ago, the United States Navy veteran, a female died in Chattanooga, under a bridge on Broad Street.

I met Missy, two years ago, Passing out waters and burritos on my fallen five drive.

My friend Cheryl told me about the news on the 16th of July.

These are trying times.

And like tyranny, tyranny like perdition is not easily conquered, The more difficult the tragedy, the greater the triumph.

Our own mayor, in his inauguration speech quoted Mr. Luther King, with a fierce urgency of now, and said that he has a bias toward action that includes all of our neighbors regardless of zip code.

The city council mission statement says to promote an ethical and inclusive environment that enhances and sustains the well-being of all the people.

Cheerfully, I stand here knowing that we have a very important task.

This is the best city in the world, right?

It's our city, and we have overcome many challenges, and in 1969 this was the most polluted city in America.

Now, today, we have the fastest internet.

We beat San Francisco.

That's something to be proud of.

There are thousands of people who are homeless in Chattanooga.

We can work together to create a model for the entire country, but we have to do it together.

I love all of you, and I love this city, and I especially love my friends out there on the streets.

They call me the water boy cause I go out there so much, and I'm here to raise the alarm, just like a fire alarm that let's everybody know when there's a danger.

Now we need to get to work and work together, and we need to do it now.

And that's why I'm here.

The people that are out there can't make it here, or they don't know they can, that's why I'm here.

And understand, you know, the legislative processes and bureaucracy and red tape and things like that, but we can cut through it, and we can work together as Americans and people in harmony and unity.

And I'm here to raise the alarm.

I'm not here to cause a fuss.

I've only got three minutes.

I looked up my amendment rights, you know, and these sorts of things, and understand the regulations that permit a certain amount of time for people to speak, but I've only got three minutes.

I drove quite aways to get here, and I'm out here working in the streets for these people, and I've been here for five weeks now, trying to let y'all know.

I appreciate your time and effort.
