 indicate how much time is remaining. A bell will sound when you have 30 seconds remaining. When your time has ended, the bell will sound again and you should complete your comments. Before you begin your comments, please state your name and thank you for attending. And with that, we call to order the meeting of the city council public comment meeting on February 21st. The first item that we will address is calling my dear friend to the podium, the Pastor Ellen Collins Epps of the Morningstar Prayer Center will bring us the invocation. Please rise for the invocation and remain standing for the pledges of allegiance. Father, we thank you for your peace. We thank you for your love and your joy. We thank you for this time and space to join together to speak blessings over our city. We ask your guidance and every decision that our leaders face, bless our mayor and each council person, give them strength and courage in both their personal and professional lives. We thank you that we are a city that forgives. We thank you that we are a city that loves. We thank you that we are a city that honors you, be glorified in all our different, teaching us to respect and to entreat each other with kindness and love. Thank you for workable solutions in every difficult situation and the faith to trust you. Thank you for Fort Worth, that we are a city not just known, that we're the beginning of the West, but we're a city where we work together and love one another. Amen. Council, the first item of business tonight will be the approval of the minutes from the January 24th and February 7th meetings. I have to approve. Second. Then just raise your hand. Anybody else having trouble voting? That vote is ended. Consideration of those minutes is approved. Mayor Patan, that concludes the business. The rest are the public comments. And I think you have language to share with the public that I will reiterate. Yes, just a note for each speaker. You will have three minutes to speak and the timer will tell you when you have 30 seconds remaining. And just to reiterate, three minutes at some point in time, you will hear one chime, one bell. What that means is you have 30 seconds remaining in your mind. There is a clock, but 30 seconds means you wind down and at three minutes, your microphone will be silenced and the next speaker will be called up. Please call the first speaker. Mr. Willoughby, Bob Willoughby. Bounce through these real quick. That there is, it's kind of bad. Offered $1,000 donation to St. Jude Children's Hospital if Maddie Parker would answer one essential question. There's no reply from Maddie Parker. It's been three weeks and I put a deadline. So when I think I got to say, I'm gonna leave this, you can go look at it better on the website, but I got to say about this. Wester did not supply a word in the dictionary that describes how low I feel about Maddie Parker. The $1,000 donation will not go to waste. It will be used to help expose pro temp Mayor Gina Bibbins. Okay, let's go to the next one. Hey, Mr. Jared, let's see how you take it. $500 to the Children's St. Jude Children's Hospital. These are handicapped kids, Jared. You got your legs, arms and legs and all that kind of good stuff, don't you? Okay, you're in good health. I'm gonna give $500 to them. You just answer why you voted to remove the public presentation from the city council agenda. All the other cities around our habit, we don't need more report work. You took it away from us, okay? That's what I wanna know. Let's see if you do it in that timeframe, okay? Now, let's get down to real business. Oh, wait a minute, wait, nope, that's it. I didn't bring the right one, but I brought that one. Oh, here it is, let's try to contact me about it. What that is is this one right here. This is a bogus report from the police department, okay? Also, I got a no trespassing sign, a bogus, no trespassing. I can't go to the handling community center anymore now. I'll write a bogus thing right here. And it's proven bogus by the people there that can prove it. Now, Attorney Affairs is not doing their job, but what I wanna do and I'm trying to do, and they won't talk to me, the police won't talk, I want to file assault charges against Sergeant Hyrd and Officer Z Board. They are 100% in violation of the efforts code of using unnecessary force. They came into a meeting at the request of Gina Bibbins, my opponent, and removed me from a community meeting because she did not want me there. This can be proven. The report says Gina, what it does, it writes out putting Gina Bibbins on top and me on the bottom, it's not true. 100% not true, it's a lie, okay? I want this report removed and I want someone to contact me so I can file the assault charges. They should never go in and grab people by the arm and you ain't come out of a building without at least asking them to walk out. I call that unnecessary force, okay? Yeah, that's political stuff and get kind of rough sometimes. All right, do I have any more time left from about now? We need to move this to four minutes. You took six minutes from us, give us four minutes. Next speaker is Adrian Smith. Thank you, Bob. Adrian Devine Smith, let the words in my mouth and the meditations in my heart be acceptable and I say, oh, Lord, my strength and my redeemer. Before I begin, I would like to offer some of my, a little of my time to send prayers and condolences and strength and love to our former police chief, Joe Fitzgerald, the Fitzgerald family and the passing of his son. Yeah, I just want to use some of my time for this. So Chief Fitzgerald, if you're listening, if you're watching, send a love, prayer and strength to you and your family. Okay, pass the table. Thank you for bringing the babies out tonight. Glad to get to see this political process and how it works. But I'm glad to see that our chief showed up tonight. It's never personal when I stand in this space. So I let people know it's never personal when I stand in this space, but it's always purposed. Everything I say is purposed. So Chief Noakes, we do not desire and oversight recommendation that you have decided to recommend for this city. Given that we had a racing culture task force, we had a police monitor who made recommendations and we had a 97 page report that's outlined what the problems were within the forward police department. So I say this to say this, we know that the council voted down 5-4 against the recommendations. Not this entire council though, the shoe fits were it. And I like what Mr. Nils said about the caring of the people's ward, I liked it. But Chief Noakes, no disrespect because you had opportunities, sir. What was recommended wasn't nothing that was going to stifle law enforcement's decision-making and moving law enforcement together, moving law enforcement forward, but it was going to bring law enforcement in communities together. Who knows law enforcement better than law enforcement? People would say law enforcement. Okay, well who knows the community better than the community, the community. You put those two entities together, what do you have? I understand you have a collaborate togetherness. It's what I'm trying to say, more togetherness. We could fix some of these issues that we have, but again, it would take the council bringing back the previous voting, putting it back on the table. But again, Chief Noakes, no disrespect, but that's just my stance. Thank you. Next speaker is Bruce Datcher. Datcher, 1901 Amanda Avenue, Passed at Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church. Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem and council members for giving me this privilege. I come actually this afternoon this evening seeking clarity. We are in the stop six community south side of Fort Worth as well as the Como area of Fort Worth. We are, and when I say we, I'm speaking of pastors that serve in underserved communities that has a history and a track record, Madam Mayor Pro Tem are serving our communities. And I would like to get some clarity concerning the CARES Act funds or the COVID relief funds, the unspent portion that has not been spent and how these churches that's in these underserved, vulnerable, distant franchise communities can help us to help our communities with some of these remaining funds. And what I would like to ask is that maybe at a later time a meeting can be held with myself in about maybe four or five other pastors. Not controversial, but more fact finding, more clarity to see what has been spent and what's left because we all know these dollars has already been allocated by our Congress appropriated already. And so we wanna see what's unspent so we can try to help make a difference with what's left. Thank you. Fernando, I'd like for you to get with Pastor Thatcher and we can arrange some type of meeting. Next speaker is Letitia Wilborn. Miss Wilborn. If we don't see her, we'll call for her again. She's coming. Okay. Hi, I'm Letitia Wilborn. I wanna start with saying I'm here because of the comprehensive plan. Okay, as you can see by the comprehensive plan, if you look at the comprehensive plan, if you see this little bitty blue dot that's WM Green Elementary School. Now, we were here several months ago and the city promised to do no more harm, but this is their comprehensive plan for this area of town. All of this blue around this little bitty school that you can barely see is heavy industrial. Keep in mind, keep in mind that this city has been in trouble with the government for having severe air quality. Number 16th in the nation for bad air pollution. The county gets rated in F, but this is the promise that they made to this community to do no more harm. The children that attend this elementary school pre-K through fifth grade, which means they are four years old to 11 years old. And this includes the staff. What about the teachers? What about the staff? They will have to deal with this pollution. Why it matters? It matters because several years ago I had a rare brain event. It was not until this pollution that it's the first process of several surgeries to my brain. I was sick enough to have multiple out-of-body experiences. I was never ill until industrial came to my home around this same period of time. That is my son's dog. You can see the collar from the vet. My son's dog became ill. The dog, every time it went outside, it would break out in these sores. So my son, this dog was a gift to my son from his father and the dog had to be put down. My son loved this dog, but the dog suffered. And this was around the same time and the vet said something outside, okay? Their comprehensive plan mattered because my children had hair loss, rashes, asthma. I have asthma. The brain deal you just saw me present, this is my medical records. It does not include, does not include the medicines. It does not include my children still. This is all the medical records from that one deal. I have one daughter had over 50 surgeries from something she was not born with. It matters. Thank you, ma'am. Your time has expired. Eric is Brandon here tonight as well. Eric, if you would, please get with Ms. Wilburne and tell her about the public meetings that we're gonna be having. I think it would be most beneficial. Next. Next speaker is Chris Voight. You might wanna give her your card, Eric, okay. I'm here in regards to the $50 million problem with the new city hall. As a retired construction manager of 44 years, I watched the February 7th council work session at the new city hall on the new city hall and wondered how could the new city hall project suddenly be $50 million over budget? A bigger concern is that there was no discussion or questions raised about the budget shortfall or how it would be paid for. It may be difficult to find the cost savings you're needing because of inflation and labor shortages without cutting added scopes of work. Do the city hall chambers and offices really need all the added scopes of work to function properly? The Pier 1 headquarters were initially thought to be in a good enough condition to move in as is with some minor remodeling is an additional $12 million really needed to remodel the existing floors or could a more conservative refinished approach be taken? These additional costs should not come at the expense of the taxpayers or vital community projects. It's been said that the sale of the existing city buildings include the city library and that would help pay for this overrun. This raises the question of what will happen to our central library. Our library system seems to be struggling and needs to be invested in to prepare our workforce for jobs in the future. Any library funds, should they be used for the city hall overruns or should they be reinvested in the library system? Before taxpayers can get excited about this project we need transparency on how the new city hall will be paid for. Thank you for your opportunity to share my concerns. Next speaker is Keav Tatum. Good evening, Mayor Pro Tem Bivens and Council. My name is Keav Tatum and I rise as the pastor of the Numai Rose Mission and Baptist Church and president of the Ministers Justice Coalition, 2864 Mississippi Avenue, forward Texas 76104. I rise because the mother came to me and I want to thank Pastor Thatcher for the word for tonight, clarity. Many of you have known a long time and so I'm gonna bypass all that. But I want to understand how after we've seen Michael Jacobs, after we've seen Rara Thomas and Jermaine Darden, Noah Lopez, Carolyn Daniels, Kevin Goldstein, Amari Malone, Quavion Sladen, and Tatiana Jefferson, after we've seen Jacqueline Craig and Dorsey Norris, after we've seen police officers punch people in the face, in the hospital, simply because they was trying to find a way home. How in God's name can a forward police officer pull their guns on these little babies? How can you justify in your mind that it's okay for you to take your revolver out and point it at this baby girl right here? How can you justify, come here baby girl, you're in your mind pulling your gun out and putting it in the face of this little baby here? Come here baby girl. How can you justify pulling your revolver out and putting it in the face of this little baby here and go in the house and pull these kids out without a search warrant? Tell that mom against her will. I like to extend my time to 10 minutes because I brought my 10 people with me. I'll meet the city attorney and city secretary to validate, it's six minutes. You see this baby girl? She was over at her grandma's house for the holidays and joined her grandmother. They don't even live in Fort Worth anymore. Mama was trying to make a better way for them and decided that this time she wanted to let them stay with their grandma. And they had the worst nightmare of their life on December the 31st, 2022 at 11 o'clock PM because the Fort Worth police department did not learn from all of those other incidents. We're calling for an independent investigation of this case and we want the Fort Worth city to release the body cams immediately so that we can get to the truth. As we just witnessed in Memphis, sometimes the officers account do not line up with what happened we seen on the video cam and for the city of Fort Worth to send a letter to the attorney general to prevent this mama from learning the truth by seeing the body cam and listening to the 911 call. It's a violation of this family's human rights and we're asking for independent investigation because contrary to chief note assertion, this department has a history of not being able to manage itself much less hold its officers responsible and accountable for what they've done to the black community. For clarity's sake, I wanna know why and who pulled their cunts on these little babies. Every one of them, I wanna know their names, I wanna know their history, I wanna know if they have a family, I wanna know if they have children, I wanna know if they really, really care about what's happening in the black community. Now, following me, the mother of these babies and the daughter of the mother who they pulled out of the house, put in handcuffs and in the back of the police car without a warrant or any reason of arrest, she's going to read for you so that it goes on the record the family's position about what happened on December the 31st, 2022 at 11 o'clock p.m. So I'm Ashley, I'm the next to call, do I? Yes, Ash, go ahead. So hello, I'm Ashley Boylan and on December 31st, 2022, around 11, 20, 11, 50 p.m. for a police department showed up to my mom, which is Demetrius Bill's home on a call that they stated was made. When the officers arrived, from my understanding, they did not knock on the door. They surrounded the windows and proceeded to knock on the windows with guns, ordering everyone in the house out. My oldest daughter was asleep and she heard police officers ordering everyone out the house. My mother grabbed my daughter, sparkle, which is 15, other daughter, Ashley, which is nine and my son, Samorian, he's 12, out of the home. When they opened the front door, they had guns pointed at them. The police officers was also in the next neighbor's house pointing rifles into the front door. They ordered my children onto the ground as if they were criminals. They put guns on them. They had my son that is 12 on his knees as if he killed someone, placed them in the back of a police car and locked them in there. My son, which is 10, has a mental disability. So he can't process on the level of a normal 10-year-old. So when he ran to the door to see what was going on, officers was cursing at him to come back out. He did not. He ran back inside the home with my uncle. They had sickle cell that was laying across the couch. When my uncle got up to come to the door to kind of figure out why were they there? They were cursing in ordering that my son come back outside. He refused because he was scared. The officers then threatened to shoot inside the home if they didn't come out. No one knew what was going on. Michael then took my son, which is 10, my nephew that is six and my niece, which is four. He placed my niece on his back and he walked out the door with them. For a police department also threatened to shoot him if he did not put my niece down. My niece began to scream and start urinating on herself. He then put her down and they were made to get on their knees and put their hands in the air. After that, the police department, Fort Worth police department, then ordered everyone to get in the back of a police car and locked all the children in the back of a police car. They didn't, when I showed up, at that time I had arrived, all my kids and my nieces and nephews was in the back of police cars. When I asked what was going on, they were saying that it was a shooting. I asked who was shot. They did not know. They didn't tell me anything else. They just let the kids out the back of the police car. I have reached out. So I think almost everyone that is sitting up here to ask what was going on. And I wanted the body cam. And also I want the 911 call that caused this type of ruction in Fort Worth. I grew up in Fort Worth and I've never experienced that in my life. If for me to move my kids to the Soto and allow them to come here, they shouldn't experience that in their life. My kids are now traumatized and they do get counseling at school for this. Ms. Bourken, pastor Tatum, I wanna thank you all for coming. Fernando, with your leadership involving the police department, I'm sure you can have a conversation. Mr. Costa. Next speaker is Cynthia Flint Crawford. Good evening. Distinguished Mayor Potem and council members. My name is Cynthia Flint Crawford. I live in Fort Worth, 7405. Oliver Stone Drive in the Black Metal Subdivision. I am a first responder. I'm a nurse. And I wanted to entreat you to provide our communities with access to information in the event there is an emergent situation. We had a gas leak on 18th of January and they closed off our street and they closed off the entrance to our neighborhood. The fire department was there. Atmos knew about it. The police knew about it. And no one let the residents know about it. I heard the blurb going on. I am the H.O.A. president. You hear that? You come outside and I wanted to know. You could smell the gas. It was thick. It was coming into my home. And the police told me that Atmos had been called. But nobody had been notified. There had been no knock. My girlfriend who lives across the street, my neighbors, myself, all of us had gas coming into our home. We weren't told that there was an imminent blow up, but there should be no reason why. We can't have information like when our, there is an amber alert or a silver alert or even sometimes we get a flood alert. I think it's very important if we are notified if there is an incident because people did have a medical response to being overcome by the gas. They had to leave their homes. They had to take their grandchildren out. They had to take medication. They were contemplating going to the hospital. We have mentally disabled people in the community and caretakers who are not necessarily as proficient medically to be able to know and to move these people. So what I want you to strongly think about is in the event that there is a major event going on in the neighborhood, just like my company spectrum, even let me know proactively when we had our electrical situation during the cold, you might have a power outage. It never happened. It would be nice to have something come across my phone like the amber alert to say, this is in your neighborhood. Please do this in the event this happens. I think that it is worthy of the city to strongly look into making our citizens more proactive in their care by caring more about their citizens. I hope that you can find it in your time and in your budget, because this is my sixth time I've reached out, five times by writing first time in person. I thank you for this opportunity. Ms. Crawford, you should know that Atmos is governed by the Railroad Commission, but my office will follow up with you tomorrow for the proper contact with Atmos. Thank you, Connie. Thank you. Next speaker is Robert Harvey. I want to speak about the police departments, abuse and unlawful arrests of me and Carolyn Rodriguez and Manuel Mata for recording the police in public. Now, recently Carolina recorded a Fort Worth cop badge number 4042 saying that they've had training on how to handle us free press. And then he goes on to tell her where she's allowed to stand in public. And then he says he can arrest her for talking, which are both unlawful statements. Texas Penal Code 38.15, interference with public duty, Section D clearly says speech cannot be deemed interference. Also Supreme Court ruling, the city of Houston versus Hill, the court ruled that a city ordinance made that abusive speech toward police officer is a crime was unconstitutional and a violation of the First Amendment. That means I can say whatever I want to these police officers, unless I'm threatening them. It's a First Amendment protected activity. Now let's talk about House Bill 2319 that Arizona recently passed that said you have to be at least eight feet away when recording police. Eight foot, think about it, that's this far away as tall as I am. How's that relevant to Texas? A federal judge struck down this law as unconstitutional as a First Amendment violation. And Fort Worth cops think they can tell us where to stand while we're recording in public and arrest her for standing 20 feet away on a public sidewalk. I was arrested for standing 20 feet away from a cop sitting in his cop car. How am I interfering with a cop sitting in his cop car recording him? He jumped out of his car and grabbed me and arrested me. We've all seen the videos of Emmanuel Matai getting arrested on public sidewalks being 50, 60, 100 feet away. Remember a federal judge recently struck down Arizona House Bill 2319 that says you have to stand at least eight foot away. Fort Worth cops are arresting us for standing 20, 40, 60, 100 feet away. I was arrested for felony stalking for recording a police officer on a public sidewalk while she was wearing her badge and uniform, a felony. This case is absolutely ridiculous. The lawyers don't even understand how and why Judge Wolfe could sign a probable cause warrant. Taylor Stevens' report is comical. Her proof for such an accusation is I asked her what the tattoo on her arm was. While recording her, she put in her reports and her report the comments from the YouTube video she does not like. She also states in her report that my subscribers love her videos. This is the garbage that got me arrested for a felony in Fort Worth. Are we living in China or North Korea? Has all the politicians and police department in Fort Worth sold out? The next speaker is Caroline Rodriguez. I'll pull your nose, breathe in, you're my God. Buenos dias, como estamos, estamos bien? Disculpa, oh, am I speaking Spanish? I thought I was in a third world country for a minute. Gosh, I guess we're not in a third world country wearing Fort Worth, but it sure feels like we're in a third world country. That's because we only have two times a month to talk to you guys. What's up with that? Two times a month to air our problems that we have with y'all. And then another reason why I'm feeling like I'm in a third world country is because we have these thugs running around in police uniforms. They've put up all kinds of robots for transparency. They took away the police scanner so we don't know what's going on throughout the city. They won't release body cams. We've had that problem. This is not the only family that this has happened to you. This is not an isolated case right here. This happens all the time, all the time. They're thugs and they act like it. That the roadblocks they put up is they won't give us any kind of police records, anything like that. So we took to filming them, filming them, right? So when we're out to film them, they've set up all kinds of roadblocks for us not to see what's going on. On November 8th, the chief said that he knows that there's a culture problem, that he spoke to the city manager about this culture problem. And that was two years ago, but I haven't seen any change from two years ago. I've seen it getting worse, but I haven't seen any change. Has there been any meetings, any training for these officers on the street? Has any of them even know what community policing is? I forward requested any kind of formal meetings that they had concerning culture, maybe some diversity training. They don't give it. They don't give it. So for two years, he hasn't done anything as far as training goes for these guys out on the street. They change the rules every time we turn around when we're out filming them. They'll bring up, tell us that we're trespassing when we're not. They've trespassed us out of public buildings without even committing a crime. You ask, why am I being trespassed from this public building? Because you're trespassing. That makes no sense. They should only be able to trespass you if you are committing some sort of crime. But also, like I said, we took to filming them and you should see who would be appalled at how they treat the homeless people. Sometimes we're capturing them on video before they even know that we've walked up on them and they treat those guys so horribly that they arrest 10 people a day for criminal trespass. We're not playing by the rules because with trespassing, you're supposed to ask somebody to leave first. Then if they come back, that's when you trespass them. And the third time is probably when you arrest them but they're just arresting them as they see them and calling it trespassing. So we need to do something about this non-transparency, how they treat people on the street, how they won't release body cams, why they won't give us any kind of transparency. And we wanna see some evidence of training these thugs on the street because they're thugs. I mean, either they don't come to the call that you've called on or they all show up. And when they all show up, it looks like the bunch of kids at the Dairy Queen on a Saturday night hanging out, you know, fraternizing and all that. But you know, it's just a calling and it's almost embarrassing because you really do feel like you're in a third world country. The rest that we've suffered. Thank you, Speaker. The next speaker is Mary Goodwin, or I'm sorry, Terry Roach. Sorry. Thank you, my name is Terry Roach. I know it's not all about me, but I'm gonna share with you that tonight's a special anniversary for me, but a bit of embarrassment and a little bit of pride. I feel like I've come full circle, 35 years ago this evening, my partner in crime and I were breaking into cars in a movie theater parking lot. We were seniors in high school, when a Fort Worth police officer noticed what was up. Good police work brought it into our crime wave of radar detector thefts as the officer escorted us to jail. Best thing that could have happened to me at the time. That arrest was in a sense a passport to a better life, putting me on the path to being an honest, responsible, productive and law abiding member of society. It's that role that brings me here tonight to speak on behalf of some individuals here tonight who have been arrested recently, but unlike the 17 year old me, I was a minor menace to society. I got what I deserved, these so-called cop watchers, auditors or whatever term you prefer, the arrest there of them is shameful. Let me state clearly, I am grateful and give my support to the vast majority of first responders and police who are there to serve and protect. They make sacrifices, face grave dangers. My grandfather was a police officer and the cop watchers, they can be profane, provocateurs, most people would not agree with their choices or their comportment, but they've proven beyond any doubt that there is a cancerous element and not only within the rank and file, but among the higher-ups who turned a blind eye to the bad apples or worse who actively cover up the crimes of the people who are sworn to uphold the law, arresting someone for filming, for openly criticizing the police, for profanity, for the way they look or their attitude. That's what's happening. Any reasonable unbiased person can see the retaliation, the targeting and the abuse of power, throwing someone in jail just because you can, knowing the tremendous impact that'll have on them, depriving them of their rights. Most of us wouldn't do what they do again, but most of us wouldn't stand up to injustice and be arrested 29 times as Martin Luther King was. Whatsoever you do to the least of our brothers. Father Nemoller, he said, I hope it pronounced his name right, World War II, German, he said, I didn't care when they came for the communists, but I sure wish I would have. I have to admit that I didn't care, I didn't even know about them till I experienced abuse of power and misconduct by police. And I've been trying for two years to get body camera video. We should all be able to have body camera video. These provocatures, they're the ones telling the truth. It's not easy to hear and a lot of our major media, they're quiet. I'd like to thank Edward Brown, the Fort Worth Weekly for giving voice, for speaking up. They demonstrate clearly the need for civilian oversight, strong, vigorous, independent, and no one's gonna benefit from that civilian oversight than the good police officers, the vast majority again. I'm arguing on their behalf to ask you make that civilian oversight real. Thank you. Next speaker is Mary Goodman. Good evening, my name is Mary Goodman. I lived in Fort Worth in District 8. Okay, I am a member of the Fort Worth Sierra Club and members of the Echo Heights community came to a meeting that we held this month. Our focus, Sierra Club focus, is now gonna be environmental justice and Echo Heights is an example of environmental injustice. Echo Heights is a neighborhood and community in Southeast Fort Worth. Historically, there were farms, fields, neighborhoods and a prairie dog park. The city moved the prairie dog park for their safety. The area was then rezoned for industrial use and moved trucking firms, light, industrial, heavy industrial and yet the people, families and children of Echo Heights remained. They've already discussed last month the people of Echo Heights fought to keep a trucking company from taking a parcel of open land that is across the street from the elementary school, William Green. They were successful for now. The people living in Echo Heights are in the 83rd percentile in the state for air toxic cancer risk, 95th percentile in the state for air toxic respiratory hazard and 90th percentile in the country for traffic proximity. The neighborhood is 90% people of color. There is severe illness and Echo Heights has been reported. The people in Echo Heights have been pleading with the city to improve the conditions in which they live and to not allow any more industry in their neighborhood. The trucks thunder past the schools and houses, the trucks parked right behind homes were exhausted, stewed in their large yards. It is time for the city to listen to the people of Echo Heights and meet their needs. The city made them sick, the city must make them well. Environmental justice would be to have the comprehensive plan, oops, I'm running out of time. I cannot speak as eloquently as the people of Echo Heights but I want to add my voice to theirs. Please listen to them and act in the best interest of there as you did for the prairie dogs. Thank you. Our last speaker tonight is Charlie Lanza. Hello, good evening. I'm an outsider. I watch some YouTube videos and wow. What do you have going on here? It's just amazing to me. I don't understand how your police force has gotten so out of control. I didn't rehearse to say anything here but just what I've witnessed, obviously I have a serious problem. I feel so sorry for those people that were just here that left, I can't imagine that. So I don't want to get long winded here or anything like that but I think you really need to sit down and have some serious conversation with these police officers and get whosoever in charge and come up with something to fix this. People are having their rights completely violated. They're being arrested for trespassing, for filming an officer. Well, we live in the 20th century and there are cameras everywhere. They have cameras. Everyone has cameras. Everything is documented. You're just gonna have to get used to it. So, what more can I say? I just feel so bad. This is such a great city. And I come from Pennsylvania. It's a great area but obviously there's some serious rot going on here and it needs to be fixed. Thank you. Mayor Pro Tem, that concludes all of the speakers tonight. Thank you all for participating in the process this evening. Tonight's meeting is adjourned.
