In fact a public information drop-in is being held tonight at Richland main library from 530 to 730 And tomorrow at the same time at Brooklyn Baptist Church The study looks at the expansion possibilities within the city and also with our partner municipalities across the river and Just as a note about bike sharing of the world of micro-mobility is an ever-changing arena And while we will have some bumps along the way We are confident that we are headed in a positive direction to provide more users with more options that connect our community And finally, I'd like to direct your attention to this year's bike month poster put together by Lee and our office She did a beautiful job each one of you has one of these and there's a couple out in the lobby You know every year I'm just continually impressed by all the activities and events that the cycling community organizes and this year is no exception There is a lot going on so please try to participate in some of these take a look at all the options there are and Help us celebrate by participating in something on this poster to include bike tour day on May 19th And there's a preservation urban design bike raid on May 24th.

I do proclaim the month of 2023 is national preservation month in the great city of Columbia urging fellows to recognize and participate in its Observation I'll be presenting this to you all in a minute But also want to take the opportunity to open the floor to miss Amy Moore to talk about the Mabel Payne Historic preservation award, which I'm really excited about because I've actually seen this property And it's an incredible asset to our community Thank you mayor You've done a great job introducing Preservation month and we're excited to be here today I'm Amy more if you haven't caught that already This is Rachel Walling and Betsy Klinefelder all who are preservation planners in the office And I have to say these women do a terrific job They're a huge factor in our Advocacy and outreach to citizens. So we have a lot of events planned this month and y'all should have a poster showing your Preservation month. Thank you Thank you, Vanna All of the events we have planned it's from tours and bike rides to a video series series featuring locals and Architectural scavenger hunts. We have the most jam-packed calendar we've ever had for May so The Mabel Payne award is a key part of the month for us And it's an award named after one of the city's first planners who worked here in the 1950s and Laid the groundwork for preservation from the city municipal standpoint So much of what we have left in the city our commercial districts our neighborhoods These are all here because of Mabel Payne and the cumulative effort of a lot of different people in our organizations in the city So even though the Mabel Payne is not an award that comes with the great deal of fanfare It is nonetheless given with deep appreciation This year our award recipient for conservation and stewardship is Candy Wright Who is a local property owner whose rehabilitation projects in Melrose neighborhood have transformed dilapidated lost cause Houses into some of the most desirable structures in the neighborhood This includes her own home the prairie style Powell house One of the homes of the Powell family who basically developed the neighborhood to the Melrose neighborhood in the early 20th century It was neglected gutted had a failing roof And the previous owner had requested permission for demolition Which thankfully was not approved and Candy was able to purchase the property Her vision brought this unique house back to life so that it stands today as a rare gorgeous example of the prairie style in Columbia Likewise she has another project she didn't stop with that one It's on Mabel Street in Melrose neighborhood And it was considered an eyesore in one of the ugliest houses on the street now is considered to be one of the most beautiful and unusual homes in the neighborhood There was vinyl siding on the second floor unusual brick gutted interior Most people were scared off by this but not candy It was a project that took vision and she really delivered on this one She brought the building back to life. She restored the windows. She removed the site vinyl siding repaired stucco Didn't paint the historic brick but kept it rebuilt the interior and even repaired the matching garage Today this building is a shining example of another unique architectural style in Melrose, which is called the airplane bungalow So it has been our pleasure and privilege to work with candy on these projects over the years Her attention to detail and her desire to save unique properties and the finest art features that make them special Make her a dream to work with for us Her perspective is not just about making a profit. She appreciates what's special around her and invest back into our own neighborhood So our neighbors have a lot of great things to say about her Both as a person and as an example for preservation in the neighborhood She's a fantastic neighbor who regularly opens her home She assists in community events and causes and they see her as someone who pours her energy into supporting the neighborhood She's an inspiration We are excited to continue to work with candy as she's now started her third project in Malrose And we are sure this one will be as much a triumph as the others have been Preserving historic character with night of detail and adding value to the district Please join me in thanking candy for her work and giving these historic buildings new life and for providing an Exceptional example of how one person can make a huge difference Humboldt by this I I love everything this award represents and all that maple pan stood for I'm just a normal little neighbor who has a little bit of vision and probably not a lot of fear but One thing for sure that people like me Projects like this without the incentives and the programs that you all have put in place It makes all the difference. That's how that's how someone like me can Can can do this and so I thank you on behalf of all the people who love the beautiful buildings You're very creative and determined to do something in your eye For creativity the way you take take those elements and bring them back to life. That's a talent That's not normal. That's a talent and we appreciate it. You're home the power house I think is one of the most beautiful properties in Colombia Being the back house and all that one day. I'm just gonna have a stay vacation and go over there But what you're doing in the neighborhood, but I hope I Hope you'll wander beyond Melrose Heights. We got a few other places. I've got some really unique houses that need your touch We'll start sending you Polaroids and let you start Just tell me where to make your husband says Thank you Amy did you want to get a picture? I Will say Amy on your calendar for next year You need to have at least one night of like two for taco night or pizza night or something I mean the bicycle crowd, you know, they got beer and tacos So last last presentation we have is is our small business week Which we had an opportunity to kick off the other day at the craft ax throwing and I thought that was appropriate Since we spent the last 14 months working on cutting through some of the red tape that we have to make it easier So I'm glad you picked that place Aisha with that. I'll allow you to just kick it off Yes, thank you so much. Good afternoon mayor and council members in honor of small business week I want to briefly share some updates with you So in addition to our day-to-day activities in OBO, I like to highlight some of the opportunities We had to support our small business community So our office has coordinated food truck Friday since last summer We've seen participation from over 30 different food trucks from barbecue to chicken and waffles to cuisine from the Philippines So we've just had a wide variety of different food options And this has given us an opportunity to assist some of these small businesses with the process for getting their business license And making sure they have the necessary DHEC certifications to operate And as you know, the city has seen a number of grand openings over the past year They continue to be a great way for us to promote the opening and expansion of our small businesses While making sure they're aware of the resources we provide at the city I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the support of our public relations and parks and recreation staff to assist with all of these Logistics necessary to make these events happen So here's the list of our upcoming activities. Well yesterday as the mayor mentioned, we had our kickoff at Craft Acts Yesterday this event was held in coordination with the Columbia Chamber Richland County TD Bank and our host John Upton with Craft Acts Throwing The Small Business Administration also joined us for the kickoff and all of our partners are here with us today I know Susan from the chambers here. We also had Greg White and Angela Brewer here from SBA And then on Friday, we'll hold our 10th annual Small Business Week conference. We're really excited about that We have over 150 people registered for the event So we're looking forward to celebrating our small business community and offering them a chance to network and attend Sessions to assist with the growth and sustainability We've also partnered with SBA for this event to hold their award ceremony and Offer a matchmaking session to allow vendors to meet with various procurement representatives to see how they can provide their goods and services Those are pictures from our event last week. We also have Deon Generate is our emcee He's here as well with us today and that's a proclamation We did with him last year and it's just a wonderful opportunity for us to get a lot of our small businesses together And bring a lot of the local and state resources in the one room to provide access to businesses to make those connections I also have all of our OBO staff here today if they please team They are all committed to assisting the businesses that we serve each day So again, we're excited to celebrate Small Business Week And thank you for giving me the opportunity to share just a few activities We have going on to support our small businesses before we start I'd like everybody to give Aisha triggers a hand I say that with true sincerity because Aisha was interim director and I kept calling her director and she kept Kind of blushing but the reality is she has a special touch not only with her her staff But the people that she works with we we don't always don't get compliments at the city of Columbia I'll be honest with you. I know y'all are all shocked by that But but the reality is is the businesses that work with the OBO They they they cannot stop talking about their experience and that goes that that starts with leadership And so I just want to acknowledge it this this week is also Aisha triggers week But seriously folks, you know Small Business Week is so important because it's really the backbone of our community And if you look at at the businesses that are growing here and giving back and being part of our community They're small businesses. They're family owned And we can't do enough look I'll be honest the reason I'm here in Columbia, South Carolina is when I graduated I watched my friends start businesses I watched them take jobs here and I started a business here and because the communities Support you and I've seen that time after time after time So when you go out and you think about a day when it's rainy or it's a little cold outside And you rather click the mouse and order something think twice about it think about taking that extra step hopping in your car Riding around putting some money in the meter because we got to make some money to you now And then then go and support these businesses these restaurants these retailers these specialty shops the dry cleaners the Cobblers the folks that are the backbone of our community in every corner because I can point you to all the great restaurants All the little specialty shops that are sprinkled throughout our four districts in Columbia, South Carolina And this is our opportunity this week to continue to support them And with that I'm not gonna read all the where-as is in this as is but I'm just gonna take it right down to the bottom line Which is we declare small business week in Columbia, South Carolina, so go spend some money locally In the picture Galena Thank you We will move along after some really great presentations The consent agenda items 5 through 12 and 14 and 15 zero motion There's second Any discussions concerns we did remove item 13 for the record Hearing none seeing none Madam clerk, could you read the roll?

Ms. Jacqueline Williams on our community gardens We started community gardens. I think in 2011 or 2012 And to see all the things that we're doing beyond just providing the plots the educational classes And all of the things that we have going on in each of the zip codes Everyone was pretty pretty surprised More justice was our guests at the meeting as well And I think that they were actually impressed with a lot of the things That we were already doing but I think the biggest thing that we got from it was we didn't start doing community gardens For food insecurity we started doing it way before foods insecurity Was an issue really and so they did have interesting questions for data And so it did have us to look at how we you know We can look at some ways that we're collecting data But I think the biggest thing that I took from it is you know, we were doing it before food insecurity was an issue Dr. Bussell's chair a very good environmental committee meeting and I Do not have my notes here with me. So we'll have to defer that until she gets back They did I would add thank you for that Mr. Duvall that one part of the meeting involved the particular the discussion with the unification with the Lurie Center and senior resources and I know that the committee endorsed the concept and asked us to refer it out to full counsel with the Contingency that Richland County. Hopefully is also going to participate with the funding proposal We do have a draft letter that we're going to send to the county with that endorsement as long as that's okay with the full council When when would you like to do that? We can share that draft with you all probably as early as this evening or tomorrow mayor and If everybody's okay with that. Well, I'll get that over to the county administrator Yeah, I think Reverend McDowell would like to read it tonight. You know, he likes to read at night So we could get that Okay And may recommend I'm sorry, I forgot one very important thing from our community development meeting May 2nd is the day that they check timeliness. Oh, yeah, and we admit timeliness and that means We have met timeliness Which means we will continue to get those wonderful funds for CDBG hop when home Yeah, and I'm very happy about that. Thank you councilwoman. We are too Thank you No more referrals reports hearing unseeing none. I Think we can move to a point of public input Madam clerk you have some folks signed up yes, sir We have mr. Havar war is and Javar, thank you very much. Mr. War is and miss Audra. How is sure it's signed up to speak. I will remind speakers that they have three minutes I'm Javar wars. I'll just cut to it when dr. Linda Kershaw recruited me to come here from Hollywood Despite my family Having sold over two and a half million records from 1973 up until today. I only have $50 when I came here That's saying something it didn't mr. McDowell. I only have $50 And since then I've performed over 400 concerts 60 recitals and I have professionally trained more than two dozen independent artists One of the most difficult jobs in the city of Columbia one of the most challenging most expensive and often one of the most thankful jobs Is that of the independent music artist? Artists like me that have come to Columbia from a very long ways to study fine arts My family thought I was crazy Leaving Hollywood to come to South Carolina to study music, but I'm glad that I did because I became a man here I became a serious very serious little too serious sometimes working professional advocate and musical artist the independent artist doesn't have a home in Columbia though and We have no municipal auditorium and space designed for us to further our mission to expand the arts Musical artists in the city of Columbia are responsible for generating millions of dollars for local businesses And often we are overlooked for the huge budgets of internationally recognized artists But after they're gone we are still here supporting small businesses and independent businesses and entertaining Eager crowds and our local citizens. They have very high Expectations they expect the same levels of performance sound lighting and etc But we do so on very small budgets This has actually created little small wars for spaces that drive revenue cost up to unreachable levels for independent artists starving out the growth and development in our local music scene Imagine a city without music Imagine what happens to small businesses bars nightclubs and other programs that rely on us to provide live performance The people of Columbia want more than just a karaoke bar on every corner of the city They expect fine art. Are they willing to pay for it Dion? Maybe sometimes Our municipal auditorium is necessary in closing to expand our cities international appeal and fanfare And I am here to commit myself to helping raise awareness and money towards these these efforts Thank you. Thanks for being here. Thank you for your work in the North Broad River neighborhood area as well The doughnut hole is thriving and just so that you all know With the help of this council and I know I'm no joke and I really want to apologize to mr. Risa miss missy miss Tina I am really hard-nosed because it's very difficult working in the doughnut hole The programs that this city helped us sponsor and with you coming there We have proven that we can reduce crime by 30 percent in those areas of Unincorporated Richland County and in the doughnut hole areas of the city of Columbia. That's really huge We have proven it. It's documented and it's working See that little bit of crazy that you brought with you had worked out. Well Next speaker yes, this Audra.
