I came for one reason this evening, and it so happened that Chief Lawver was also speaking about the reason why I came. Um, I came to present this flower to Councilwoman, Chris Smith, to let her know that she’s loved, (begins to cry) and that I’m sorry for her loss. So I’d like to just leave this flower for you.

My name is Tom Wackerly. I live at 4823 Glenport Circle NW, lived there 46 years, and my purpose in being here tonight is twofold, although I’m not sure I’m gonna have enough time to get the second item addressed. But I had this... have had this unsightly situation right across the street from me where a person owns a triplex that has been vacant for many years, and for some reason he has opted to collect older vehicles, oh in the area of 1980 and I’m not sure what else. But there have been seven of them sitting there in that driveway for at least the last four years, maybe longer, and I worked with Councilman Ed Mack, and he guided me along just in the last few weeks to get those cars removed, and they did get removed, and my purpose is to just say thank you very much. I... I know that most of the time councilmen only hear complaints and nobody ever says thanks, and I been through that in my life too. So I just want to say thank you very much for Councilman Mack doing a great job in helping get rid of the unsightly situation that I had, along with the Safety Director and her assistant who... who I spoke to on the telephone through Councilman Mack’s guidance, and she was very kind to me, and please give her my thank you’s for the great job she did. And I think we should also thank the police officer who runs that division because he... he was very... very cooperative in explaining to me the procedures that he has to go through legally to get these vehicles removed and how hard it is, and the last time he was there he was telling me about it and I thought there was still some procedure that would happen, and after I got done discussing it with him, I walked back to my house and here came the tow trucks and away went all the cars. (Chuckles) So, I’m very grateful about that. Could you tell me how much time I have left? CLERK DOUGHERTY: 55 seconds. TOM WACKERLY: Oh, okay. Then I think I better maybe address the other issue at a... at another meeting. So again, thank you very much. I’ll thank all the councilmen. I know your job is a thankless one, and I especially thank Councilman Mack for his good service in... in my council ward, I mean my ward. Thank you. (Applause) PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you, Mr. Wackerly. INFORMAL RESOLUTIONS PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Okay. We are now under Informal Resolutions and we have none this evening.

Members of Council, as I mentioned in committee meetings, what you are doing is passing the ordinance as amended to reflect the most up to date, state of the art charts for the new parcels and the maps that have been amended since you created this TDD in December. We’ve had a couple of annexations that Council has authorized since then. This includes those. Uh, and the same thing is true of the next ordinance that follows, the TIF ordinance. It’s a companion ordinance that will reflect changes in the boundaries. I wanted to take this moment to thank you all for your patience, and to thank, especially from our departments, Krissy Griffith and Rick Bodenschatz of the Engineer’s Office, and in the back Ellen Kirtner (inaudible). I hope I have that pronounced right, from Walter Haverfield. They’ve been working as a terrific team, really looking and boring down on incredible details of parcels and maps and streets and changes, and please don’t hate me if I come back in another couple weeks with an amendment or a reconsideration because this is an ongoing process. But, to the best of our knowledge, all of these smart and detail oriented people have presented you with the most up to date maps, parcels, addresses that we have in the TDD. Thank you very much.

MEMBER MACK: I know Mr. Wackerly left, but I did want to say Dave Dougherty was a big part of getting those cars removed, and I know you guys all know this, but I want this to be on the record. He’s doing a hell of a good job. And, I know he’s been a council person longer than I’ve been alive, but (laughter)... twice as long as I’ve been alive, twice... three times as long as I’ve been alive. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Ouch! MEMBER MACK: But, Dave, I love having you as our clerk, and thanks again for your help. CLERK DOUGHERTY: Thanks. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: I... I have to agree. You are a pit bull in the office. You’re doing one hell of a job, but that comment, “longer than I’ve been alive,” ouch. Dave’s not that old. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -401- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JULY 3, 2017 CLERK DOUGHERTY: I am. MEMBER FISHER: (Inaudible) PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Fisher. MEMBER FISHER: We have some young people (inaudible). They showed up at (inaudible) last week. Member Chester, (inaudible) a couple of their petitions, and they believe we’re government as leaders in the city because (inaudible), and (inaudible) failing us (inaudible)... look out there across the ocean, you don’t see (inaudible), you don’t see these young people (inaudible). They said they’d be here tonight, they’re here, and I just want to thank you guys for keeping your word (inaudible). PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: You kids want to stand up. (Applause) Well, thanks for coming down. Law Director. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Uh, just a moment, if you don’t mind. I want to tell you that we all know history tends to repeat itself, and I know that some of you read those voluntary snippets that Jane Spear finds for the Repository, 100 years ago, 75 years, 50 years ago, 25 years ago. You may have noticed a week or two ago, 100 years ago in 1917, which is longer than I’ve been alive, not by much. UNIDENTIFIED VOICE: Barely. LAW DIRECTOR MARTUCCIO: Barely. Um, the snippet was Council, who’s angrily calling for the constables to issue citations for tall grass and weeds, and I forget, I’m paraphrasing, but 100... in 1917. More importantly, and it’s a nice point. It... I think it was in today’s paper, it said 50 years ago Council in... in recent memory for the first time called a meeting on the eve of a major holiday and proceeded to hold that meeting. So you’re to be congratulated for repeating history 50 years ago tonight for holding a meeting on the eve of a major holiday. And I also want to commend Dave Dougherty, and the young folks in the back for attending. Thank you so much. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Thank you, Law Director. MEMBER HAWK: Mr. President. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Member Hawk. MEMBER HAWK: Thank you. One quick comment. Interestingly, I did not see that post today, but I appreciate your... On social media was posted that Council was holding this meeting tonight while the fireworks were going on using that as a cover for passing legislation that the people wouldn’t know about. Now, that was the most ludicrous statement I’ve ever heard of in my entire life. And I notice the person who made it is not here this evening, so I thank all of you for being here on the eve of a holiday, and by the way, council meetings are scheduled at the beginning of every term, and they fall where they fall. Here we are. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: And... and just for the record, Member Hawk, that legislation has been held. We’ll be passing that on Christmas Eve. (Laughter) You can’t believe everything you read on COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS JOURNAL 105 JOURNAL PAGE -402- MINUTES OF THE MEETING JULY 3, 2017 social media, especially not if I post it. MEMBER HAWK: (Inaudible) PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Yeah, it’s cause it’s on the internet. Anybody else? (Inaudible comments) I know, I... I know. And mine are R-rated so I couldn’t repeat half of it anyhow. Uh, time for the quote of the week. QUOTE FOR THE WEEK CLERK DOUGHERTY: Thought this would be appropriate for the eve of July 4th. “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.” - John F. Kennedy (Inaudible comment) PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Yeah, bring back the chocolate. Leader. MEMBER SMITH: Yes, I would like for everyone to have a safe and great holiday tomorrow. Eat as much as you like. Meeting’s adjourned. Second. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Motion. MEMBER BABCOCK: Second. PRESIDENT PRO TEM MORRIS: Alright. (Laughter) Roll call.
