 I don't know how many more times she can go taxing on everybody. How many more times she can what? She can go to Houston. It was really tight. She's disoriented. She's not quite sure. The difference around them. How are you? My name is, oh there it is. I think these must be new. I thought they used to be in the bottom. Let's hope they work. Yeah, you may recall we were having some fun. I saw some fun areas. Okay. It was a very nice piece you put up. You sent us about the obituary from the paper in Linsbury. Yeah, it was amazing. I was up there today. Really? It was amazing. I had two minutes. Amazing. Not so far. Good evening. I'd like to call the Durham City Council meeting to order. Monday, October 2nd. I certainly want to welcome all of you that are here for us this evening. Since I've been mayor, I've spent a practice that we open our meetings with a moment of solid meditation. And it's not for the purpose necessary for anyone to pray or do whatever. It's just an opportunity to take a few moments to reflect before we get out of business. And I was telling the manager this evening, I was up in the office before I came down. Just looking at the news. We've had so many tragedies over the last few weeks. Some natural with the hurricanes in Texas and Florida and Puerto Rico. Mexico with earthquakes. And then last night, the human caused tragedy that happened in Las Vegas. So I just would hope that you reflect however you choose. And we've also had one of our council members who's not here, Steve, who recently lost his mother's past few days. So if you could just take a moment to reflect or meditate, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. I was talking about things that happened everywhere else. So we've had our share of the centers here in Durham also. But I haven't said that. When I was, comes from Davis, who lives in the Pledge. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. You rise. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Mayor Bell. Present. Mayor Pro Tem Cole McFadden. Present. Council Member Davis. Here. Council Member Johnson. Here. Council Member Moffitt. Here. And Council Member Rees. Here. Council Member Shull has requested an excuse absence. So moved. Second. It's been a proper move. Second. Madam Clerk, will you open the vote? Close the vote. It passes 6-0. Thank you. We have several proclamations this evening, but I want to start it off with a happy note. We talk about things that are happening and around the world and in our state and in our city. Well, let's talk about good things happening in Durham. And we had the pleasure of having some of the good things happen with the Durham Bulls baseball team. And I invited George, George, George, George and my government, whoever else you want to bring them to come to our meeting this evening to show off and maybe tell us a few things about what the Durham Bulls have accomplished. When I was talking to Michael and to the manager, I said we ought to have a tic-a-tac parade, but these guys get in and get out so fast. It's sort of hard to coordinate that. But I didn't want this to go unnoticed because obviously Durham Bulls mean an awful lot to us in the city of Durham as they do around the region, around the state. So George, if you don't mind if you could come and just share with us the good deeds that the club has accomplished. Because we all know about him. I call it George because he's the man that does all the stuff. He brought Michael along to support him. Well, yeah, I brought the boss along, which I thought was a smart move. So thank you. We have two trophies because first we won the International League Governors Cup, which is the more impressive trophy. Back there in the corner by the door. The original version of the Governors Cup is in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. So we get to keep a replica of it for one year. And well, maybe we'll get to keep it. We'll win again. And then the smaller trophy is the national championship trophy. So we won both of these just by happenstance in playing in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I spent a week in Scranton and not to crack too badly on Scranton, but I came home really thankful for Durham. So I'll stop. I'll control myself. So that's an outstanding shot of the trophies over there. We should have had a parade dog on it, but this has happened to us five times now. As you know, all but one or two of the players, well, they don't live here with the exception of a couple. So as soon as the season's over, they go home. So we'll try to do something later in the fall, some sort of celebration. But we are proud to haul all of that hardware back to Durham and get that attention for the Bulls City. Thank you. Thank you. Did the mayor get? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, George. George, can I get some steels? Thank you. Don't forget steels. Definitely. We'll get it to the next, George. I have to take the mic from George. I want to say how proud we are to have the Bulls in Durham. I mean that. One very unique trait about the Durham Bulls that you might not recognize unless you experience the minor league culture in other cities is that this team is beloved in Durham. You can't go anywhere without seeing Durham Bulls gear, Durham Bulls hat, Durham Bulls this, Durham Bulls that, Durham Bulls license plates. And that's something that we're really proud of and frankly something we're really grateful for because it's a very unique trait in minor league baseball. You know, we're family entertainment, we're community proud, but we're also people proud of the team and proud of winning national championships and proud of what we do. And what you all know, you all are a big part of that and you all support long, you know, historically and moving forward as part of making this a continued special community asset. So we're really proud of that. We're thankful for that. We're going to win it again next year or else everyone's fired. That's it. Thank you. Thanks for coming. I should have recognized Mrs. Abel. Every time I go to the ballpark, she's always there and probably is really the force behind what George is able to do. So, well, thank you for being here. Okay, we have National Disability Employment Awareness Month. I like the representation parks and recreation. The proclamation reads, whereas workplaces welcoming of the talents of all people, including people with disabilities are critical part of our efforts to build an inclusive community and strong economy. Whereas in this spirit, the city of Durham, North Carolina is recognizing National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This October to raise awareness about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of people with disabilities. Whereas activities such as disabled, the label and annual program celebrating employer, employers who regularly hire persons with disabilities, we reinforce the value and talent people with disabilities add to our workplace and communities in the firm, Durham, Durham, North Carolina. It's commitment to an inclusive community. Now, therefore, we will be building the city of Durham, North Carolina. Hereby proclaim October 2017 as National Disability Employment Awareness Month in Durham. Hereby urge employers, schools and other community organizations in Durham, North Carolina, to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities to advance this important message that people with disabilities are equal to the task. This is my hand in the corporate city of Durham, North Carolina. This is the second day of October 2017. We want to present this to you and you can make remarks to present on the center here. Thank you. Alright. Our departmental mission is to play more, connecting our whole community to wellness, the outdoors and lifelong learning. While working on this mission statement in 2016, the word whole was an intentional addition by staff to show our commitment to be inclusive of all of our community members. Our continued work with the EOEA and the Mayor's Committee for Persons with Disabilities are two examples of partners both here in Durham and in North Carolina. Thank you Mayor Beall and City Council for this proclamation as well as your support of Disability Awareness Month. In keeping with the proclamation, I invite you and our whole community to disable the label hosted by DPR at Northgate Mall on Saturday, October 14th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thank you. Next I'd like to ask Mr. Cheryl Thomas, community outreach coordinator for the Durham Crisis Response Center. The proclamation speaks to the fact that we care about the safety, security, physical and emotional well-being of our neighbors. We recognize that domestic violence has many faces and we believe all individuals have the right to live their lives free of violence and fear. And whereas domestic violence is a serious, preventable, public health concern involving physical, sexual, psychological, or emotionally aggressive behavior, this is part of a systematic pattern of power and control of one person over another. According to the National Intermittent Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, one in three women and one in four men report experiencing violence by an intimate partner in their lifetimes. And whereas we believe that everyone deserves their life free of violence, whereas we recognize that intimate partner violence has significance and long-term consequences for survivors, families, and community health outcomes, including the effects of trauma, depression, traumatic brain injury, and other chronic conditions on productivity and well-being. Whereas in 2017, while Durham Crisis Response Center provided an emergency shelter to 147 women and children, fleeing domestic violence for lack of space, DCRC directed 90 individuals to other shelters, illustrating the urgency to expand shelter services in our community, and DCRC answered more than 3400 calls on the 24-hour English and Spanish Crisis Lines, in addition to providing crisis intervention, counseling, court advocacy, and other services, still 1500 victim survivors with more than 14,000 volunteer hours supporting our mission. Whereas ending domestic violence starts with education and awareness, changing gender and violence social norms, immobilizing our communities, including men and boys in our faith institutions, we urge our educators and agencies working with you to teach, respect, consent, and healthy relationship. We encourage local government, health professionals, law enforcement, faith communities, and civic organizations to collaborate on creating a supportive and inclusive environment for survivors of domestic violence in Durham. We strongly can't commit to a deliberate effort to ensure that every individual can access appropriate and affirming resources to address and end violence in our communities. Now, therefore, I will be billed by all mayor of the city of Durham, North Carolina. Do you ever proclaim the month of October 2017 as domestic violence awareness months in Durham? Do you ever urge all residents to recognize the many faces of domestic violence by increasing awareness, taking actions to change the cultures, and working together to end the violence? And witness my hand and call to the city of Durham, this is the second day of October 2017, and I will present this to you for the comments you might have. Thank you so much. Thank you Mayor Bell and city council members, staff, and my colleagues that are here with me today. I'd like to say again, thank you Mayor Bell for all that you have done for us and with us all these many years that you've been here as mayor. We will miss you. But I'd like to bring your attention to one item that Mayor Bell did speak about, and it was about those that were turned away from our shelter. We are now in a crisis mode in that we are turning people away, and that is unacceptable in this county. We're asking the community and our elected officials to join with us to try to help us to locate and to eradicate that situation within our system. We would like to also say that we've come a long way. This year we've only experienced one death here in Durham County, one death is unacceptable as well. But we had one death and her name was Katrina Wright, and we have had over 54 deaths in the state. So I think that we have come a long way and we still have a long way to go. And I think it's because of all the comprehensive services that we offer at Durham Crisis Response Center that that number is at that low point. And I want to thank all of the community members that have helped us to achieve what we have all these years. And I appreciate what you've done and thank you Mayor Bell for your attention to detail as you help us to do what we have to do. I want to say that my executive director, Aurelia Sands-Bell, is here with me and our board chair, Eric Moyes, with me here today. And we all thank you for what you've done and what you will continue to do in the future to help us. Next we have some other happy things to celebrate. National Arts and Humanities. Senator Woodett and Sherry DeRise, the executive director of Durham Arts Council, if you would join me. Whereas the arts and humanities enhance and enrich the lives of all Americans. Whereas arts and humanities affect every aspect of life in America today, including the economy, social problem, solving job creation, education, creativity and community livability. Whereas cities and states through their local and state arts agencies and representing thousands of cultural organizations have celebrated the value and importance of that culture in the lives of Americans and the health of thriving communities during National Arts and Humanities Month for several years. Whereas the United States Conference of the Mayor has actively participated in National Arts and Humanities Month since 1984. Whereas the United States Conference of the Mayor's National Arts partner, Americans for the Arts, will again coordinate this year's National Awareness Campaign of Activities for National Arts and Humanities Month. Whereas the nation's 95,000 non-profit art organizations, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the nation's 5,000 local art agencies, the Arts and Humanities Councils of the 50 states, and the 6 U.S. jurisdictions and the President of the United States have participated again this year in this national celebration. Now therefore, I will indeed be able to be able to meet with the State of Durham, North Carolina, to hear by proclaiming National Arts and Humanities Month in Durham and hear by words all citizens to take special notice of the servants and witness my hand, Corporal Silver City of Durham, the second day of October, and present this to Sherry, and you can have your Board Chairman and Senator Mike Wooden come up behind you. Thank you, Mayor Bell. And thank you, Council Members and City Manager Bonfield. I'm Sherry DeVries, Executive Director of the Durham Arts Council, and I would like to encourage everyone here tonight and everyone in Durham to celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month. October is National Arts and Humanities Month, a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the importance of culture in America. This was launched by Americans for the Arts 30 years ago and focuses on the arts at the local, state, and national levels. Encourages individuals and organizations to participate in the arts and allows governments and businesses to show their support of the arts and raises public awareness about the role of the arts and humanities in our communities and lives. And we want to thank Durham, the City of Durham, for your tremendous support of arts and culture for many years, and thank you, Mayor Bell, for your great support of arts and culture. Ways that individuals can celebrate the arts this month participate and show your art, a social media campaign for people and communities across the country, using posting your Instagram photos and videos to hashtag showyourart2017, and those will be featured nationally in the month-long celebration. The most important thing is to enjoy and participate in the arts and cultural events. Grab a friend, go to a museum, a play, a festival, an outdoor concert, have kids, make it a family outing, try something new, take a creative class in writing, dance, painting, or whatever strikes your fancy. Enjoy the arts with people you love. Sing, play music, read a book, dance, or draw together. Write to your members of Congress letting him or her know how important arts and arts education funding is to you, your family, and your community. Here in Durham, North Carolina, 69 arts and cultural organizations just the month of October are providing over 630 arts and humanities events this month for the public to enjoy. From the Durham Arts Council to Scrap Exchange, the NCCU Art Museum, Durham Library, Duke Performances, the National Museum of Art, the Carolina Theater, St. Joseph's H.I. Heritage Center, and many more. There's so much to enjoy in the arts and culture in Durham. So we invite you to celebrate with us. Thank you. So I have to tell you a center-fest story. On Saturday I parked on the Parrish Street lot and as I walked up Church Street to get to Maine I saw a couple coming out of the Church Street deck. And I could tell, as we say down home, they weren't from round here. They were what I call pibs, people in black. They were dressed in all black, long sleeves, black coats. And they looked a little lost when they came out of the deck. So I said, are y'all looking for center-fest? And I guessed correctly. And I said, well, I'm headed that way. So as we walked along Maine Street to get to the festival site, I learned that they had just moved to North Raleigh from Brooklyn. They'd been here about six months. Well, they decided to come to center-fest. So I got them to the site. A couple hours later they came through the gate where I was volunteering. And I asked them if they had a great time. And they said, yes, indeed, they really had. They loved Durham. And they really enjoyed the arts that they got to experience here in Durham. And the wife leaned over and said, and as soon as our lease is up we're coming to Durham. I share that with you just to remind all of us how much the arts and culture in this community is a magnet for people all around the region. And we could not do center-fest without the support of the City of Durham. So when we come each year, this is a great opportunity for us to once again thank the City of Durham for all your support of the Durham Arts Council of all of our arts and culture and specifically center-fest. We didn't set an attendance record this year. We came just a few hundred shy of our attendance record from a couple years ago. But we did have a record number of artists this year, including for the first time our rising stars, 10 artists from Durham who were featured in a special part of the festival site. We continued our programming on Saturday night with two bands down at CCB Plaza. And if you missed Cool John Ferguson, you missed a great time. The Plaza was covered up during Cool John's performance. We couldn't do those things without your support from the administration right on down through all the departments and of course the council. We couldn't do it without the support we have from the police department keeping the site protected and safe from Friday night on through Sunday night 24 hours. Solid waste making sure that our streets are cleaned up Sunday night and Monday morning from transportation for assisting us with blocking the streets, providing parking amenities. So throughout the city many departments are assisting us. So thank you again, Mr. Mayor, members of council and administration for your support of CenterFest. We look forward to our 45th next year, 44th next year CenterFest. Thank you all very much. Let's recognition the proclamation says imagine a day without water. We have some people behind us that want to emphasize this. You know, it's sort of ironic that we have this and just earlier we were talking about the tragedies that happened in Florida and Texas where, Puerto Rico where people without water for so many days and weeks. But anyway, whereas water is our most valuable natural resource and one that is absolutely vital to the quality of life for all citizens of the city of Durham and Durham County, whereas Durham's water customers use nearly 27 million gallons of fresh, high quality water every day. Whereas dedicated city employees work every day to ensure delivery of this valuable commodity. But careful management of the water supplies, vigilant operation of the treatment facilities and attentive maintenance of the distribution systems. Whereas the critical infrastructure and investment needed to deliver this precious resource are too often overlooked, misunderstood and unappreciated. And whereas changes in our climate due to extreme weather events are likely to place additional strains and pressures on our water supplies. Whereas investing in our drinking wastewater systems now will ensure a healthy and prosperous Durham community for many generations to come. And therefore, William and Bill Bell, mayor of the city of Durham, North Carolina do have our proclaim the 12th of October 2017 as they imagine a day without water in Durham. And hereby urge all citizens to take special note of this observance, recognizing that water is essential to our quality of life and economic competitiveness and call on all citizens to consider the value of water for each individual, community and economy of our city. And hopefully we'll never have to live a day without water. I further challenge our citizens to learn how to protect our waters from pollution, practice water efficiency and conservation and our daily lives, support efforts for improved water and sewer infrastructures and become informed, witnessed and involved in the local water issues. And again, with my hand called the City of Durham, this is the second day of October 2017. I'm going to present this to Don Greeley, our director of water and sewer resources and you're going to hand this out. Good for him. Thank you, Mayor Bell and members of the City Council. And bringing this item forward, we realize that this would be the last special proclamation that Mayor Bell made on behalf of water management. So we'd like to thank him for all of his support over the years for our many celebrations, proclamations and activities. Thank you, Mayor Bell. Wayndrop and I are honored to accept this proclamation on the behalf of more than 300 employees of the City's Department of Water Management, who provide water and wastewater services to over 270,000 customers. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Our department's goal is to ensure that each and every time our customers turn on their taps, clean, safe drinking water flows out. When we imagine a day without water, many of us think about our morning shower or a cup of coffee or not being able to flush our toilets. Or have a day without water would be much more grim and frightening. Durham's firefighters would have no way to tackle blazes. Our City's hospitals and healthcare facilities would not treat their patients. Local schools would close and businesses would grind to a halt and the list goes on. The devastation in the wake of the recent hurricanes also highlights the importance of drinking water plays in public health and safety. To encourage more people to imagine a day without water and to think about what it really means, we ask that on October 12th, Durham residents to pledge to give up just one item or action that relies on water. We have a special contest going on right now with some great giveaways. Durham residents can take the pledge online at www.durhamsaveswater.org and enter to win one of five water efficiency prize packs. Or our grand prize, a brand new rain barrel. We are also promoting this contest on Water Management's Facebook and Twitter pages. By the way, you might have noticed that some of Wayne Drop's friends who are part of our water efficiency and conservation staff are not here tonight. They are out of town at a National Water Smart Innovations Conference and rumor has it they may be collecting some hardware of their own to bring back to Durham. We will keep you posted. Lastly, we'd like to thank everyone to remember that water is essential to keeping Durham a great place to live, work, and play. Can you imagine a day without it? Thanks again for your ongoing support of our efforts. Thank you. I recognize the city management. I wouldn't ask the city council also. We have any comments? Yes, if you'll indulge me for just a moment. Oftentimes, one or two of our governing bodies, the school board, the board of county commissioners, the city council, we often overlap sometimes. And this is one of those occasions on Wednesday, October 4th, is International Walk to School Day. It's a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries around the world walking and biking the school on the same day. It began in 1997 and over the past 20 years, it's gone from one-day event to long-term effort to create places where children have more opportunities for physical activities. And everyone feels a little more connected. Today, thousands of schools across America, from all 50 states in the District of Columbia, participate every October. This year, Lakewood Elementary in Durham, our very own Lakewood Elementary, our Lakewood Elementary, will serve as North Carolina's official media event for Walk to School Day. That's the state. It's serving as the center for the state. The school expects 200 students, parents, and community members to participate. And it ties in because the city of Durham is committed to making streets safer for everyone, including students, to walk and bike. Benefits of walking and biking include good exercise and physical activity. It helps children build strong bones, muscles, joints, and decreases the risk of obesity. And active kids are more likely to become active adults. Less traffic congestion and reduced emissions are part of the environmental benefits. It ties to the City of Durham's Vision Zero Durham Initiative, which you all might recall that our Transportation Department is heading up. It's to make the streets safer for all of us, including students on bikes and on foot. Vision Zero Durham aims to eliminate deaths and severe injuries on Durham roadways, down to zero. By implementing the 5E Strategy, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Evaluation, and Encouragement, the city is continuing to invest in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in order to diversify the transportation options that people have. We have 44.3 miles of bike lanes currently, and we're adding 8.9 miles this coming year. We have more than 20 bicycle and pedestrian projects currently in design, and will certainly soon be constructed, adding more than $20 million of federal and local funding. Additionally, 15 million has been allocated to construction of sidewalks, identified in the recently adopted Durham Bike Walk Implementation Plan. So the other thing I want to tell you about is that our very own Transportation Department is working with Durham schools to teach traffic safety. So on September 13th, members of the department visited Lakewood Elementary School and taught a traffic safety lesson to the entire kindergarten class. At the end of the lesson, our director, Terry Bellamy, led all the students in a game of red light, green light. So the Transportation Department continues to work with Durham Public Schools to make traffic safety accessible to all students. And last I want to say is that city is doing its part, but each of us individually have our own role to play in making Durham safer for people on bikes and people on foot. Don't drive distracted, and whatever you do, don't text when you're behind the wheel. Thank you. Thank you, Don. Thank you, Councilor Maurice. Thank you. First of all, thank Councilmember Moffitt for reminding us that we all have a part to play in making our schools safe places for our kids. So I think often we tend to think, oh, that's just somebody else's problem, because we're the city council, but I appreciate you bringing that up. Also, Mr. Mayor, I wanted to apologize for horning in on your photo with Wayne Drop there. Wayne Drop is near and dear to my heart, and the heart wants what the heart wants. And so I had to go get that photo taken. I appreciate your patience. Speaking of the heart, Mr. Mayor, I hope you'll indulge me for just a minute or two. I had the opportunity to travel to Lynchburg, Virginia this morning and spend some time with our colleagues, Steve Shul. As you mentioned earlier, and as many of you may know, his mother passed away over the weekend. I also had the opportunity to attend her funeral today at their family synagogue, and I have to say it was one of the most emotional events I can remember attending in quite some time. I just wanted to share a little bit about Roselle Shul and her life. Some of you may know that Steve's father is a former state senator from Lynchburg. He served almost 20 years in the state legislature, representing that community. But as is often the case, it's really an open question whether or not an elected official or their life partner is the one that's contributed the most to the community. I think that'll be an open question for me and my wife as we go through our time in Durham. But with respect to Steve's mom, Roselle, she was a faculty member at Lynchburg College for almost 20 years, served on the board of trustees there for 36 years, including four years as the chair of the board of trustees. She founded the Lynchburg League of Women Voters. She served as the first president of their local synagogue where her service was held today. She served on a number of Blue Ribbon commissions dealing with education. And just several years ago, she founded Beacon for Hope, which is an organization somewhat similar to Made in Durham that works with high school kids to figure out kind of what their next step would be, whether it be apprenticeship, occupational counseling and training, and guidance counseling for moving on to college and college admissions and that sort of thing. That was sort of her passion project at the end of her life. And any of that, I thought it might be appropriate today as our colleague is not with us and is sitting Shiva right now tomorrow night for his mother with his family in Lynchburg that we just honor his mom's contribution to her community. And so I appreciate you giving me that time. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Well, thank you, y'all, and thanks for sharing that information with us. Steve said his mother was as rock and he's already spoken to that. Are there other comments recognized in their program? Among other things. Yesterday I had the honor of attending a pastoral installation service at Fisher Memorial United Holy Church. And the special thing about it is that the new pastor is an employee in our water management department. And his name is Elder James Blake. And I told Elder Blake that I could not tell him what to do since he's a sitting employee. But while I was in the church, I told him some things that he needs to do to help clean up the evil kinds of things or ill kinds of things from faithful and umpstead and South Roxburgh and he accepted that charge willingly. So I thought I'd better share with you that I did ask him to do that. In the church, not in city hall. I congratulate him for his work. Well, thanks again for sharing that information also. Other comments? Recognize Councilman Mark. Yes, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. I want to remind folks, I know everybody in the room is cognizant of this, but if anybody's watching, that may not be thinking about it, it is election season. We have a primary on October 10th, which is before our next council meeting. So I want to remind folks, the importance of voting will be electing three city council members and a mayor's seat, a majority of the council. And there are early voting sites open now and of course all the precincts will be open on October 10th. So there's no reason not to vote. Get out and vote and do our civic responsibilities. Thank you. Thank you. There are no further council remarks to recognize the city manager for our times. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Good evening, everyone. No priority items. Likewise, City Attorney.

I recognize Councilman Moffitt. I don't have a question. I just wanted to comment that I thought I wanted really appreciated the process at the work session where everybody worked. I thought pretty collaboratively to come up with a consensus. I realized there may be issues that need to be, still need to be resolved. I'm not suggesting that it's completely done. I just wanted to appreciate the process that we used and thank people for it. Thank you. Recognize. I just wanted to thank the staff in public affairs for the work that you did on it. And I knew you were updating the policy for our employees. And I'm glad you included us in this process. Thank you. Thank you. If there are no questions or comments, entertain a motion on the item.
