AFTER THOSE, WE'' RE GOING TO RELOCATE RIGHT INTO ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE COUNCIL, AND AFTER THAT WE ' LL HAVE THE STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS. FOLLOWING THE STATE'OF THE CITY ADDRESS, WE'WILL HAVE A VIDEO THAT I ' M FIRED UP ABOUT,'IT ' S A BRIEF VIDEO. ALLOW ME TO SIMPLY SAY, IT ' S GOT A CHARACTER IN IT CALLED DURHAMINA. I ' M GLA TO DEBUT OUR 2018 ANNUAL RECORD VIDEO AND LET HER TAKE YOU VIA ACCOMPLISHMENTS RAS YEAR AND SHOW YOU WHAT ' S AHEAD IN'2019. AFTER I UH OFFER MY ADDRESS, WE ' LL HAVE A SHORT VIDEO CLIP AND THEN WE ' LL HAVE A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK. I UH KNOW SOME OF YOU ALL MIGHT INTEND TO LEAVE ALTHOUGH YOU WILL BE A LOT OF WELCOME TO STAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE COMPANY, BUT THAT ' S HOW WE ' RE GOING TO PROCEED THIS EVENING. SO NOW, UM, WE'' LL BEGIN WITH OUR CEREMONIAL THINGS. OUR FIRST CEREMONIAL PRODUCT IS A VERY, EXTREMELY EXCITE UHHING ONE.I ' M GOING TO ASK REPRESENTATIVE H.M. MICKEY MICHAUX AND PUBLIC CHRONICLER EDDIE DAVIS TO JOIN ME BELOW AND ADDITIONALLY ANY ONE OF REP'' S MICHAUX ' S FAMILY MEMBERS TO PLEASE JOIN US UP AT THE PLATFORM AS WELL.'I ' LL TURN IT OVER >> TO EDDIE. > > GREAT EVENING TO ALL. PROVIDES ME EXCELLENT HON 2340R TO AIDE BELOW AND SPEAK ABOUT REP H.M. MICKEY MICHAUX. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROCLAMATION FOR HIM WHICH WILL POSSIBLY COME LATER, ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS OTHER CELEBRATIONS WHERE HE'' S BEEN HONORED IN VARIOUS OTHER LOCALS WHERE THIS HAS FLOWED, BUT AS CHRONICLER FOR THE 150-YEAR CELEBRATION I'' D LIKE TO CALL SPEAK ABOUT THINGS REP MICHAUX HAS DONE. SOMEBODY WHO HAS HAD A CAREER THAT'' S COVERED VIRTUALLY 40 YEARS IN ONE LEGAL BODY, THERE ARE LOTS OF POINTS THAT ONE COULD APPEARANCE AT, BUT I WANT TO TAK A LITTLE LITTLE BIT ABOUT ONE ITEM THAT IS VERY DEAR TO MY HEART DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS SERVING AS PUPIL COUNCIL CONSULTANT AT HILL SECONDARY SCHOOL IN THE LATE 80s WHEN THE PUPILS THERE CELEBRATED THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.IN THE FALL OF 1987

, AFTER THAT LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BOB JORDAN CAME KNOW A HELICOPTER AND CAME DOWN ON THE FOOTBALL AREA, TECHNIQUE FIELD, OF THE OLD HILL HIGH INSTITUTION. WE HAD THE STUDENTS TO BE THERE TO GREET HIM AND THN THEY WENT INSIDE THE STRUCTURE AND THE PUPILS LISTENED TO AN ADDRESS BY LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JORDAN ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION AND THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HAD BEEN DONE IN STIPULATIONS OF THE CHANGES. THE PUPILS THERE BACK THEN LED BY A STUDENT BODY HEAD OF STATE NAMED TONIA ROBINSON PUT FORTH THE CONCEPT THAT MAYBE THERE WAS An ITEM OF BUSINESS THAT PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA EARLIER, BUT IT HAD NOT BEEN DONE. THE 24th Modification WAS AN AMENDMENT THAT GOT RID OF THE POLL TAX OBLIGATION, AND NORTH CAROLINA THROUGHOUT 1964 LEAD-UP TO THE RATIFICATION OF THAT MODIFICATION CHOSE NOT TO VALIDATE AND PICK NOT TO BE AMONG THE STATES THAT HAD VALIDATED THAT 24th Change. UM, THE STUDENTS DETERMINED THAT THEY WANTED TO HAVE A LIVING EXERCISE THAT WOULD ALOW HEM TO VISIT THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL SETTING UP AND TO WORK HARD TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAD THE ABILITY TO LOBBY THE BASIC SETTING UP E TO OBTAIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DELEGATION TO PRESENT LEGISLATION THAT WOULD REALLY ENABLE THAT RETROACTIVE ADOPTION AND THERE SUCCEEDED UNDER THE MANAGEMENTS OF REP MICHAUX, BUT HE WAS NOT ALONE, AND WITH United States TONIGHT– I UH WISH SHE WOULD COME FORTH TOO– IS FORMER REP SHARON THOMPSON.THIS IS A REUNION OF THSE TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT INTERACTED. GEORGE MILLER WAS THE VARIOUS OTHER MEMBER OF THE RESIDENCE THEN, AND ON THE SENATE SIDE WE HAD KEN ROYALL RALPH F QUEST. THEY PROVIDED THOSE PUPILS THE CHANCE STUDENTS TO LEARN HOW MATTERS WERE PUT FORTH. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET YOUR HOME TO UNANIMOUS LAY CONFIRM THE LEGISLATION. THEY VISITED THE SENATE SIDE THERE TOO AND GOT A DESIRABLE VOTE AND THE STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO GET THE THEN ASSISTANT OF STATE TO EMPOWER THEM TO TAKE THAT REGULATIONS TO THAT LEGISLATION THEN TO WASHINGTON D.C.AND TURN

IT OVER TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND APPEARANCE AT THE 24th Change THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE AN ASTERISK AFTER THE FLOW THAT DETAILS THE NUMBER OF STATES THAT PROACTIVELY– RETROACTIVELY– DID RATIFY THE MODIFICATION. WHEN YOU SEE NORTH CAROLINA THERE, NOT IN 1964, BUT ON MAY 3, 1989, 15 YEARS AFTER THE REST OF THE NATION HAD P PRESENT THIS POSSIBILITY, THESE TRAINEES IN ADDITION TO AGENT MICHAUX, AGENT THOMPSON, AND OTHERS IN THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL SETTING UP, THAT ASTERISK STANDS FOR THE WORK THEY DID YOU MUST THE LEADERSHIP OF H.M. MICKEY MICHAUX AND SHARON THOMPSON. [PRAISE] IT WAS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY, AND THE STUDENT LEADERS BACK THEN, TONIA ROINSON WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT BODY IN 1997, AND SHE TOOK PLACE TO VISIT INSTITUTION AT DUE UNIVERSITY, FUNCTIONED AS THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT AT T T AT FIGHT IT OUT, WENT ON TO HARVARD FOR LEGISLATION INSTITUTION. SHE WAS ABLE TO BENEFIT TERRY SANDFOOT AND ALSO WORK IN SOUTH AFRICA, AND MANY JUST RECENTLY TILL I I PRESUME THE MANAGEMENT TRANSFORMED, SHE FUNCTIONED IN THE WHITE HOUSE.SHE WAS THE

ACTING GENERAL COUNCIL OF URBAN ADVANCEMENT. SHE FUNCTIONS AT A BIG COMPANY IN OUR NATION. SHE FINISHED PRIOR TO THE REGULATION COULD ACTUALLY BE VALIDATED, AND IT FELL TO THE NEXT PUPIL BODY PRESIDENT, THAT'' S NAME WAS JAMES K. REEVES WHO TOOK PLACE TO APPALACHIAN STATE, PLAYED FOOTBALL THERE, AND NOW ACTS AS An ELDERLY EXECUTIVE WITH B.B.T. BANK IN WINSTON-SALEM. WHEN PEOPLE RALEIGHED AROUND THEM AND WERE ABLE TO BRNG YOUTHFUL INDIVIDUALS TOGETHER, it REVEALS THE KIND OF MANAGEMENT THAT WAS ESTABLISHED. THERE WERE OTHER STUDENTS ENTAILED, BUT THESE ARE THE CHOSEN LEADERS OF THAT PROCEDURE BACK I THE LATE 80s.

SO I'' M SURE THEY WOULD SIGN UP WITH ME IN ADMIRING THESE TWO FINE REPS. [PRAISE]> > > THANK YOU SO MUCH, EDDIE. I ENJOY E EDDIE'' S HISTORY MOMENTS. I ' M GOING TO CHECK THIS OUT PRONOUNCEMENT.

I WAS STANDING IN THE WHITE HOME WITH FERGOOD. [GIGGLING] DO YOU RECOGNIZE ANYONE ELSE WORLDWIDE THAT CAN SAY “I WAS STANDING IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH FERGOOD?” “ANOTHER STORY HE'' S INFORMED LOTS OF TIMES BUT IT ' S MOVING THAT WHENEVER I UH THINK OF DURHAM BACKGROUND I THINK ABOUT THIS STORY.IF YOU UNDERSTAND AGENT MICHAUX, YOU KNOW THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS REALLY CLOSE TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY MEMBERS AND MARTIN LUTHER KING LIKED HIS MOMMY ' S FOOD PREPARATION, AND HE, DR. KING, WAS UPCOMING TO DURHAM AND HAD TALKED TO MICKEY ON THE PHONE TO FIND AND HAVE HIS MOM'' S FOOD PREPARATION UNTIL HE WAS PHONED CALL TO MEMPHIS, THE TRASH WORKER'' S STRIKE.

ONE YEAR AGO, AS THE NEW MAYOR OF THIS FANTASTIC CITY, I STATED IN THESE CHAMBERS THAT OUR AREA HAD COME WITH EACH OTHER TO FORGE A COMMON VISION OF OUR FUTURE, AND BELOW IS THAT VISION: WE, THE INDIVIDUALS OF DURHAM, ENVISION A PROSPEROUS, INNOVATIVE, ECO-FRIENDLY, AND WELCOMING CITY THAT FLOURISHES ON DIVERSITY AND DISTINCTION, A CITY THAT PUTS RACIAL AND FINANCIAL JUSTICE AT THE TOP OF OUR CIVIC AGENDA, THAT DEFENDS THE SUSCEPTIBLE AMONG US, THAT CHERISHES ROBUST, CONSIDERATE DEBATE ON DIFFICULT INQUIRIES, THAT WELCOMES NON-VIOLENCE, THAT EMBODIES THE BELIEF THAT ALL HOMEOWNERS MUST HAVE AN CHANCE TO SHARE IN OUR NEWFOUND SUCCESS, A CITY THAT ACTS AS A MODERN SIGN FOR THE SOUTH AND THE NATION.I BELIEVE

IN THAT VISION WITH ALL MY HEART, AND I INTEND TO TALK ABOUT IT TO NEED AND WHAT I THINK IT IMPLIES, BUT FIRST I WISH TO TELL YOU A TALE. IT STARTS IN 1889, IN A LITTLE SHTETL, A LITTLE TOWN IN WHAT IS NOW LITHUANIA, THEN PART OF THE RUSSIAN REALM. THE LITTLE TOWN WAS CALLED LINKUVA, AND THERE LIVED ELIAS AND BLUMA SCHEWEL ELIAS WAS A YESHIVAH BOCHER, A STUDENT OF THE RABBINICAL TRAININGS. IN THE RUSSIAN REALM, JEWS WERE PREVENTED FROM POSSESSING LAND OR FARMING, BARRED ALSO FROM THE OCCUPATIONS AND FROM THE UNIVERSITIES. THEY WERE RESTRICTED TO LIVING IN A SPECIFIC PART OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE CALLED THE PALE OF SETTLEMENT. THEY WERE THE VICTIMS OF CONSTANT POGROMS, FIERCE RIOTS FREQUENTLY SIMPLY AFTER EASTER. ELIAS SCHEWEL, MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER, FLED THIS ANTI-SEMITIC RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION TO COME TO THIS NATION, CROSSING THE ATLANTIC ALONE AND ARRIVING IN BALTIMORE IN WHICH HE WAS MET BY A REP OF THE HEBREW IMMIGRANT AID CULTURE WHO TOLD HIM THAT A MAN WITH HIS SKILLS AS A SHOCHET, A KOSHER BUTCHER, WAS NEEDED TO CUT MEAT FOR THE SMALL JEWISH COMMUNITY IN LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA.

SO ELIAS RELOCATED TO LYNCHBURG AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW SMALL THAT JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD WAS, AND SIX MONTHS LATER SENT FOR BLUMA AND THE KIDS TO JOIN HIM. BLUMA'' S CHILD BOY WAS MY GRANDPA ABRAHAM, AND I PICTURE HER JOINING A TEAM OF TRAVELERS – SOME MIGHT CALL IT A CARAVAN – TRAVELING OVERLAND TO THE PORT OF RIGA. WITH HER CHILDREN SHE BOARDED A SHIP AND SAILED FOR THE BRAND-NEW GLOBE TO SIGN UP WITH HER PARTNER WHERE THEY BUILT A LIFE TOGETHER ON THE EDGE OF HEAVEN RIDGE MOUNTAINS.ELIAS AND BLUMA WERE MEMBERS OF A DESPISED MINORITY LEAVING PERSECUTION. THEY WERE EVACUEES, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WITH FEW SKILLS AND NO ENGLISH IN ANY WAY, BUT THEY FANTASIZED OF A BETTER LIFE AND THEY SET OUT AGAINST ALL PROBABILITY TO FIND IT BELOW ON THESE WELCOMING SHORES. THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN TODAY. IN DURHAM, THE CIRCULATION OF REFUGEES HAS ACTUALLY SLOWED TO A TRICKLE BECAUSE OF THE PLANS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. AN IMMIGRANT FLEEING OPPRESSION, ARRIVING UNANNOUNCED IN BALTIMORE HARBOR, WOULD BE AVERTED WITHOUT A 2ND THOUGHT. IN 2014 RIGHT NOW, I ACKNOWLEDGED THE HOUSEHOLDS AND ADVOCATES OF TWO MEN IN HAVEN IN DURHAM CHURCHES. THIS YEAR ONE OF THOSE MEN IS NO MORE WITH United States RIGHT HERE IN DURHAM. SAMUEL OLIVER-BRUNO, A VALUED PARTICIPANT OF OUR COMMUNITY, WAS ENTICED OUT OF

SHELTER TO INDICATION MIGRATION DOCUMENTS, THEN TOOK UP VIOLENTLY BY ICE AND DEPORTED. WHAT HAS OCCURRED TO OUR COUNTRY THAT WE DEPORT HARD-WORKING INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BEEN LIVING AMONGST United States AS OUR GOOD FRIENDS AND NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS, THAT WE FORCEFULLY SPLIT FAMILIES, THAT ALSO PEOPLE WITH RECORDS ARE DRIVEN UNDERGROUND IN ANXIETY? RECENTLY, I ARRANGED 7 NORTH CAROLINA MAYORS TO INDICATOR A LETTER PROTESTING THE MOST RECENT ICE RAIDS TO BRUSH UP OUR CITIES. BUT FOR OUR EVACUEE AND IMMIGRANT PALS RESIDING IN DURHAM, IT ISN ' T THE PROTEST I WANT TO EMPHASIZE TODAY. WHAT I WISH TO HIGHLIGHT TODAY IS THE LOVE. IN DURHAM, WE'DO NOT BUILD WALLS BETWEEN NATIONS OR INDIVIDUALS. EN DURHAM, NO CONSTRUIMOS MUROS ENTRE NACIONES O PUEBLOS. EN DURHAM, TE QUEREMOS SI ESTÁS DOCUMENTADO O NO DOCUMENTADO. QUEREMOS QUE ESTÉS A BARRAGE AQUÍ. QUEREMOS QUE VIVAS LIBRE DEL MIEDO. TE DAMOS LA BIENVENIDA A DURHAM DISADVANTAGE LOS BRAZOS ABIERTOS Y CORAZONES ABIERTOS. WHATEVER MESSAGE YOU ARE GETTING FROM WASHINGTON, D.C., IN DURHAM I DESIRED YOU TO FEEL THE WELCOMING EMBRACE OF A BIG-HEARTED CITY. I WISH TO CONGRATULATE OUR NEW CONSTABLE, CLARENCE BIRKHEAD, FOR ENDING ICE DETAINERS IN THE JAIL.

[PRAISE] ADDITIONALLY, I ' M SO PLEASED THAT OUR COPS PRIMARY, CJ DAVIS, HAS CONSIDERABLY BROADENED THE CITY ' S U-VISA ACCREDITATIONS OVER THE PAST YEAR. THESE CERTIFICATIONS ARE APPROVED TO UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUALS WHO ASSIST OUR POLICE ADDRESS CRIMINAL OFFENSES. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR AREA SAFETY AND SECURITY THAT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE ACTUALLY OBSERVED CRIMINAL OFFENSES BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON THE COPS SUFFICIENT TO COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS TO REPORT THOSE CRIMES. U-VISAS ARE DEVELOPED TO CONSTRUCT THAT TRUST. IN 2018, OUR AUTHORITIES DEPARTMENT ACCREDITED 144 PEOPLE TO BE ELIGIBLE TO ACQUIRE A U-VISA AND REMAIN IN THIS COUNTRY IN BENEFIT FOR THEIR PAYMENT TO OUR COMMON SECURITY, EVEN MORE THAN EVER BEFORE. PRIMARY DAVIS BEGAN THE PROGRAM WITH A FOUR-YEAR LOOK-BACK, BUT TONIGHT, WITH HER CONSENT, I AM REVEALING THAT ANY UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO SOLVING A CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN DURHAM CONSIDERING THAT 2011, WILL CERTAINLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION FOR U-VISA CERTIFICATION. THANK YOU, PRIMARY DAVIS, FOR THIS– [PRAISE] THANKS, PRIMARY DAVIS, FOR THIS PLAN CHANGE THAT IS BOTH HUMANE AND A GOOD METHOD TO ELIMINATE VIOLENT CRIME IN DURHAM.THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER JAVIERA CABALLERO AND TO PUBLIC MATTERS SUPERVISOR BEVERLY THOMPSON FOR YOUR WORK ON THE CITY ' S LANGUAGE ACCESSIBILITIES PLAN TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE EVERYONE CANISTER CAPITALIZE ON ALL CITY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DEAL. ALL OF YOU CONSTRUCTED BELOW RIGHT NOW REVEL, AS I DO, IN DURHAM ' S DIVERSITY. BELOW IS THE QUESTION: AS NEW PEOPLE POUR INTO DURHAM, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL? LAST YEAR IN MY STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, I LAID OUT A BROAD AGENDA FOR ACTION. I BOAST OF THE DEVELOPMENT WE ARE MAKING ON LOTS FRONTS, BUT AFTER I REPORT TO YOU NOW ON THAT DEVELOPMENT, I WILL CERTAINLY BE ASKING YOU TONIGHT -OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY- TO COME TOGETHER TO TAKE A VIBRANT STEP TO PROTECT OUR COMMON FUTURE. THOUGH, I DESIRED TO RECORD TO YOU ON CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND POLICING. WHEN IT PERTAINS TO POLICING, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO TWO THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY. WE NEED TO EFFECTIVELY FIGHT FIERCE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AT THE EXACT SAME TIME THAT WE WIN THE COUNT ON OF

COMMUNITIES. THESE TWO OBJECTIVES ARE DEEPLY LINKED. WE CANISTER ' T DO ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. WE UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY GUNSHOT INJURY RIPS A HOLE NOT ONLY IN A TARGET, BUT ALSO IN A FAMILY MEMBERS, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, IN A COMMUNITY. I CHECK OUT THE AUTHORITIES VIEW REPORTS EVERY DAY, AND DAILY BRINGS WITH IT A TERRIBLE CRIMINAL OFFENSE. WE CANISTER NOT LET THAT STAND. OF ALL THE DEPREDATIONS WENT TO UPON United States BY OUR STATE LEGISLATURE, ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE IN MY MIND IS THEIR PROHIBITION ON ANY COMMON-SENSE WEAPON CONTROL. THIS INDICATES WE NEED TO USE EVERY OTHER RESOURCE AT OUR COMMAND. LET ME TELL YOU HOW, UNDER THE MANAGEMENTS OF PRIMARY DAVIS, WE ARE TRANSFORMING THE SOCIETY AND METHOD OF POLICING IN DURHAM TO WIN THE COUNT ON OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT BEGINS WITH TRAINING. EVERY ONE OF OUR ADMINISTRATION NOW RECEIVE ANNUAL TRAINING IN RACIAL EQUITY, DOMESTIC PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, AND DE-ESCALATION. FORTY-FIVE PERCENT OF OUR PATROL ADMINISTRATION HAVE OBTAINED ADVANCED SITUATION TREATMENT TRAINING, AND BEGINNING IN THE AUTUMN OF 2019, EVERY NEW POLICE OFFICER THAT ENTERS THE DEPARTMENT WILL OBTAIN THIS PROGRESSED TRAINING. TO ASSISTANCE THIS CRISIS TREATMENT FUNCTION, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT NOW HAS A TEAM SCIENTIFIC PSYCHO THERAPIST WHO HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN RESPONDING RAPIDLY TO THE LOTS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS DILEMMAS THAT OUR OFFICERS ENCOUNTER DAILY. IN MANY OTHER WAYS, WE ARE UNDERTAKING A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN THE WAY DURHAM IS ENGAGING IN AUTHORITIES FUNCTION. WEB TRAFFIC DROPS IN CURRENT YEARS HAVE STOPPED BY TWO-THIRDS. SEARCHES OF AUTOMOBILES HAVE BEEN CUT IN FIFTY PERCENT, AS HAVE COSTS FOR MEDICINE VIOLATIONS. OUR NEW VIOLATION DIVERSION COURT HAS KEPT HUNDREDS OF FIRST-TIME OFFENDERS WITHOUT A CRIMINAL DOCUMENT. THESE REFORMS ARE TODAY MAKING A POSITIVE DISTINCTION IN THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS, ESPECIALLY INDIVIDUALS OF SHADE. BELOW ' S AN VITAL QUESTION: ARE THESE REFORMS SIMPLY LEADING TO MORE CRIME? WELL, LISTEN TO THE NUMBERS AND YOU CAN JUDGE ON YOUR OWN. CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN DURHAM GETS ON AN 18-YEAR DOWNWARD PATTERN. SPECIFICALLY, 2018, SAW A STRIKING DECLINE IN CRIME. EACH TIME SOMEONE IS SHOT WITH A WEAPON, IT IS A DISASTER, AND IN 2017, 244 PEOPLE IN DURHAM WERE SHOT'. IN 2018, THIS FELL BY 16% TO 204 INDIVIDUALS. THIS IS An AMAZING DECREASE THAT IMPACTS LIVES. IN ALL, FIERCE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES IN WHICH A WEAPON WAS USED, INCLUDING ROBBERIES AND AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS, DECREASED BY 20% IN 2018. RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY CRIMINAL OFFENSE REMAINED TO DECLINE, TO ITS LOWEST DEGREE IN 23 YEARS.FRANKLY, IT ' S VERY UNLIKELY THAT WE CANISTER REPEAT THESE AMAZING RESULTS IN 2019. THE FAD IN DURHAM IS CLEAR. DEPEND ON IS UP, AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IS DOWN. SO TONIGHT, I DESIRED TO IDENTIFY SEVERAL OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT DO THIS CRITICAL FUNCTION. I DESIRED TO INTRODUCE OFFICER MICHAEL SAPOSNICK. SIR, COULD YOU PLEASE STAND? WELCOME.

IN DECEMBER OF 2018, POLICE OFFICER SAPOSNICK SHOWED UP ON THE SCENE OF A TRAFFIC CRASH AT THE CORNER OF ALSTON OPPORTUNITY AND HOLLOWAY STREET. WHEN POLICEMAN SAPOSNICK ARRIVED ON SCENE, IT WAS EVIDENT THE VEHICLE DRIVER OF AMONG THE CARS HAD CONTINUAL SERIOUS INJURIES AND WAS NOT MINDFUL OR BREATHING. POLICE OFFICER SAPOSNICK PROMPTLY DELVED INTO ACTIVITY, REMOVING THE SUFFERER FROM THE VEHICLE AND BEGINNING BREAST COMPRESSIONS ━ RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A HECTIC SCENE WITH ONLOOKERS AND VEHICLES ALL OVER. POLICEMAN SAPOSNICK, FOR YOUR CRUCIAL ACTIONS THAT SAVED THIS GUY ' S LIFE, WE SALUTE YOU. [APPLAUSE] COULD POLICEMAN JOHN WAGSTAFF PLEASE RISE? POLICE OFFICER JOHN WAGSTAFF HAS DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF BY CONTINUOUSLY DEMONSTRATING HIS COMMITMENT TO THE COPS DEPARTMENT ' S CRISIS TREATMENT MISSION. MANY TIMES, POLICEMAN WAGSTAFF GOES ABOVE AND PAST THE CALL OF TASK TO OBTAIN THOSE IN MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS THEY NEEDED. FOR SETTING THE BAR FOR OUR POLICE DIVISION ' S CRISIS TREATMENT FUNCTION, POLICE OFFICER WAGSTAFF, WE SALUTE YOU. [APPLAUSE] LASTLY, COULD CAPTAIN MARIANNE BOND, SERGEANT JESSICA BUTLER, CORPORAL KIMBERLY DE LA CRUZ, POLICE OFFICER CHARLES STRICKLAND AND OFFICER DEWITT GRAHAM PLEASE STAND? WELCOME. THESE ADMINISTRATION WERE AMONG 18

DURHAM ADMINISTRATION WHO SPENT A WEEK IN WILMINGTON FOLLOWING HURRICANE FLORENCE ASSISTING THE WILMINGTON NEIGHBORHOOD FOLLOWING THAT NATURAL CALAMITY. THAT ' S THE DURHAM WAY. THANK YOU FOR OFFERING THE PEOPLE OF THE COASTLINES AND FOR STANDING FOR THE CITY OF DURHAM SO WELL. [APPLAUSE] WHATEVER WE DO ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE AND CRIME, WE AREN ' T GOING TO FIX IT WITHOUT ACCESSING ROOT CREATES. WE WILL FINALLY SOLVE THIS ISSUE FOR REAL ONLY WHEN EVERYONE HAS GREAT HEALTHCARE, A WARM, DRY AFFORDABLE HOME TO'REST IN EVERY NIGHT, AND A GOOD SCHOOL.A GREAT COLLEGE. THE 33,000 PUPILS IN DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY ARE OUR CITY ' S FUTURE, AND WE NEED SCHOOLS WHERE EVERY CHILD CONTAINER FLOURISH. MY 2 BOY FLOURISHED IN DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND MY CITY BOARD COWORKERS: JILLIAN JOHNSON, CHARLIE REECE AND JAVIERA CABALLERO HAVE CHILDREN GOING TO OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY. I THINK THAT A PERSON OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS DURHAM RESIDENTS CONTAINER DO FOR OUR SHARED FUTURE IS SEND OUR YOUNGSTERS TO COLLEGE TOGETHER IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IN 2014 DURING MY'STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, I URGED YOUNG MOMS AND DADS TO SEND OUT THEIR CHILDREN TO DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS YEAR, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE NEWLY FORMED DURHAM PUBLIC INSTITUTION STRUCTURE, I ' M MAKING AN DEAL TO AID; AND ALL OF THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH CHILDREN IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO AID. HERE ' S OUR DEAL: IF YOU CAN OBTAIN WITH EACH OTHER A TEAM OF FIVE OR EVEN MORE MOMS AND DADS THAT ARE TRYING TO CHOOSE WHERE TO SEND YOUR YOUNGSTERS TO COLLEGE IN DURHAM, I OR ANOTHER PERSON ELECTED AUTHORITIES WITH KIDS IN THE SCHOOLS WILL CERTAINLY VISIT YOUR HOME FOR A DISCUSSION ABOUT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND INFORM YOU CONCERNING WHAT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN DEAL YOUR FAMILY. TO TIMETABLE A MEETING United States, VISIT BULLCITYSCHOOLS.ORG, AND THE DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS STRUCTURE WILL HOOK YOU UP. I EAGERLY ANTICIPATE SEEING WITH YOU IF YOU ARE INTERESTED TO ASSUMING ABOUT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR YOUR YOUNGSTERS. SEND YOUR YOUNGSTERS TO DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND DEFEND THEM! BATTLE FOR THEM! ON LOTS OF NIGHTS WHEN I LEAVE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT AT NIGHTS, OFTEN AT 6:30 OR 7:00, I SEE GROUPS OF PEOPLE MEETING IN OUR BOARDROOM, THE COMMITTED MEMBERS OF OUR VOLUNTEER COMPENSATIONS, AND LATELY, TOO, THE DEDICATED PARTICIPANTS IN OUR BIG, SPRAWLING INITIATIVE IN GRASSROOTS FREEDOM CALLED PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING. RIGHT HERE IS MY PREDICTION: WHEN THIS YEAR MORES THAN, WE WILL CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO SAY THAT DURHAM HAS ACTUALLY CREATED THE MOST EFFECTIVE EFFORT IN DIRECT FREEDOM OF ANY CITY IN THE NATION. THE COUNCIL HAS RESERVE $2.4 MILLION TO BE USED ON PROJECTS CHOSEN DIRECTLY BY OUR CITIZENS. 550 IDEAS WERE SENT, THE BULK BY INDIVIDUALS OF COLOR, AND NOW CITY TEAM AND 100 VOLUNTEER BUDGET PLAN DELEGATES ARE VETTING THESE PROJECTS AND FLESHING OUT SOME 50 FULL-PROJECT PROPOSITIONS WITH IN-DEPTH SUMMARIES AND SPENDING PLANS TO PUT BEFORE THE VOTERS. SEVERAL OF THE TASKS STILL IN THE RUNNING INCLUDE BUS SHELTERS, CROSSWALKS, TINY HOMES, AND PARK RENOVATIONS, AND THE BUDGET DELEGATES ARE PRIORITIZING THOSE TASKS WHICH BENEFIT OUR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. STARTING ON MAY 1, AND RUNNING THAT ENTIRE MONTH, I ADVISE ALL CITIZENS AND PUPILS WHO GO TO LEAST 13 YEARS OF AGES TO ELECT THE JOBS YOU DESIRED TO SEE FUNDED. ELECTING WILL CERTAINLY HAPPEN ONLINE OR AT IN-PERSON BALLOT SITES BEING COLLECTION UP ACROSS THE CITY. THE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING STEERING COMMITTEE HAS SET AN AMBITIOUS TARGET OF NEARLY 10,000 VOTERS, AND I WISH WE CONTAINER EXCEED THAT NUMBER. WITH ELECTING WEBSITES DEVELOPED, WITH DEVOTED CITY PERSONNEL ENTAILED IN OUTREACH, WITH BUDGET PLAN DELEGATES DEDICATED TO TURNING OUT VOTES, I UNDERSTAND WE CAN DO DIRECT GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY BETTER THAN JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ELSE IN AMERICA. I PARTICULARLY INTENDED TO THANK MAYOR PRO TEM JILLIAN JOHNSON FOR HER PERSISTENT CAMPAIGNING FOR OF PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND HER MANAGEMENT OF THE PROCEDURE, ALONG WITH OUR FABULOUS SPENDING PLAN DIRECTOR, BERTHA JOHNSON, FOR ACCEPTING PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND DRIVING United States TO PERFORM IT WELL. THIS IS WAY OUTSIDE THE TYPICAL RANGE OF HELP A BUDGET PLAN SUPERVISOR, ISN ' T IT, BERTHA? [GIGGLING] WHILE I ANTICIPATE THAT OUR WORK IN DIRECT DEMOCRACY WILL CERTAINLY LEAD THE COUNTRY, I INTENDED TO TURN NOW TO AN LOCATION WHERE WE ARE ALREADY DOING THE MOST EFFECTIVE FUNCTION OF ANYBODY, WHERE INDIVIDUALS ARE WANTING TO REPLICATE THE UNBELIEVABLE FUNCTION WE ARE DOING. WORK DONE BY OUR I-TEAM. MAKING THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL, IMPLIES MAKING THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY OF 2ND OPPORTUNITIES. I LEARN ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN THE LIFE ' S WORK OF MY WIFE, LAO RUBERT, SO WE SPEAK ABOUT IT OVER THE COOKING AREA TABLE EVERY EVENING. FOR FOR ABOUT THE LAST 45 YEARS– AND THEY ' VE BEEN AWESOME YEARS. [LAUGHTER] ALL OF US HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS WORK. WE NEED YOU TO RESTRICTION THE BOX AND WORK WITH MORE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CRIMINAL HISTORIES if YOU ARE AN COMPANY. IF YOU ARE A LANDLORD, WE NEED YOU TO BE WILLING TO RENTAL FEE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH CRIMINAL HISTORIES. IF OUR NEIGHBORS CAN NOT FIND WORK AND TIN NOT FIND REAL ESTATE, HOW CONTAINER WE EVER COME TO BE THE CITY WE WISH TO BE? I AM PLEASED TONIGHT TO SHARE 3 INSTANCES

OF THE WAY OUR CITY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TAKING SERIOUSLY OUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE DURHAM A CITY OF SECONDLY CHANCES.THE FIRST IS THE DURHAM EXPUNCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM, DESCRIBED COMMONLY AS BELOVED. THE CITY INVESTED$250,000 THIS SUMMER TO DEVELOP PRECIOUS, WHICH OBJECTIVES TO ELIMINATE OBSTACLES TO EMPLOYMENT AND REAL ESTATE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE JUSTICE INVOLVED. HAVING A CRIMINAL DOCUMENT OR A PUT ON HOLD CHAUFFEUR LICENSE MAKES IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FOR LOCALS TO FIND WORK AND HOUSING AND TO SHARE IN DURHAM ' S PROSPERITY. THESE ISSUES IMPACT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DURHAM RESIDENTS. SPECIFICALLY, OVER 50,000 OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE A SUSPENDED VEHICLE DRIVER ' S LICENSE. THERE ARE ONLY 350,000 THAT STAY IN DURHAM. MOTORIST ' S LICENSE- A LOT OF FOR MINOR WEB TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS NOT INVOLVING DUIS.

OVER 100,000 OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE A COST OR CONVICTION ON THEIR CRIMINAL DOCUMENT ELIGIBLE FOR EXPUNGEMENT THAT STILL TURNS UP ON HISTORY CHECKS WHENEVER THEY OBTAIN A JOB OR GO TO RENT AN HOUSE. AND TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS A RACIAL JUSTICE ISSUE, 80 % OF THEM ARE INDIVIDUALS OF SHADE. BEFORE THE PRODUCTION OF DEAR, OUR COMMUNITY WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOR DRIVER CERTIFICATE REPAIR OR EXPUNGEMENTS ONLY TO SEVERAL HUNDRED CITIZENS EVERY YEAR. AS A RESULT, THOUSANDS THAT LIVE IN LOW-INCOME HOMES -PRIMARILY BLACK AND LATINX NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS– SUFFER EVEN WORSE REPERCUSSIONS FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME THAN OTHERS WHO ARE CHARGED WITH COMPARABLE OFFENSES. HOW MUCH LONGER? THERE ARE OVER 11,000 INDIVIDUALS IN DURHAM WITH A PUT ON HOLD PERMIT AS A RESULT OF UNPAID WEB TRAFFIC TICKETS THAT ARE, ON STANDARD, 16 YEARS OLD. THAT IS NOT AND CANISTER NOT BE JUSTICE. WE MUST DO MORE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LEGAL RELIEF GAVE UNDER LEGISLATION IS AVAILABLE

TO EVERY ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS, NOT JUST THOSE THAT CANISTER AFFORD A PRIVATE ATTORNEY. THE BELOVED PROGRAM IS DOING SIMPLY THAT. AS A RESULT OF PRECIOUS, ANY INDIVIDUAL IN DURHAM CONTAINER VISIT OUR COURTHOUSE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND CONSULT WITH A COMPLIMENTARY ATTORNEY TO EXPUNGE CRIMINAL FEES OR TO RECOVER THEIR DRIVING ADVANTAGES. AS An OUTCOME OF BELOVED, AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DESERVING OF OUR PARTY,– SO HAPPY TO SAY THIS– OVER 50,000 OLD TRAFFIC COSTS GOING BACK TO THE 1980S BUT STILL LEADING TO MOTORIST ' S CERTIFICATE SUSPENSIONS HAVE BEEN REJECTED. 50,000 COSTS DISREGARDED FOR 35,000 INDIVIDUALS! I ' M SO PROUD OF THAT. [PRAISE] ALONG WITH ACQUIRING THESE CHARGES DISREGARDED, THE PROGRAM IS WORKING NOW TO FORGO PENALTIES AND CHARGES FOR 15,000 OLD WEBSITE TRAFFIC TICKETS THAT ARE ON STANDARD 16 YEARS OF AGES. THIS IS TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE FOR THOUSANDS OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

IN THE COMING MONTHS, THE PROGRAM WILL CERTAINLY FUNCTION TO ACHIEVE THE VERY SAME SORT OF SUCCESS WITH EXPUNGEMENT AS WE ARE SEEING WITH CHAUFFEUR ' S CERTIFICATE RECONSTRUCTION. LET ME SAY THAT OUR PRECIOUS FUNCTION IS ALSO ENTIRELY REGULAR WITH HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. EVERYBODY THAT IS BENEFITING FROM THE DEAR PROGRAM HAS PAID A VERY STEEP COST. THEY HAVE SHED THEIR LICENSE FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO YEARS OR THEY HAVE SERVED TIME IN PRISON. TO BE'A CITY OF SECOND CHANCES, THERE REQUIREMENT BE AN EXPIRATION DAY ON WHAT IT MEANS TO HOLD SOMEONE ACCOUNTABLE.'[ PRAISE] AS RELATED TO BELOVED, LET ME SAY THIS IS A TALE CONCERNING HOW WE ARE FAR BETTER WITH EACH OTHER. THE EARLY AND FANTASTIC SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF A DYNAMIC PARTNERSHIP

. IT IS ONLY POSSIBLE– AND PLEASE RISE IF YOU ARE BELOW– AS A RESULT OF OUR AREA LAWYER ' S WORKPLACE INCLUDING OUR FORMER DA ROGER ECHOLS, CURRENT DA SATANA DEBERRY, AND ADA DALE MORRILL; OUR JUDGES INCLUDING JUDGE AMANDA MARIS, JOSEPHINE KERR DAVIS, SHAMIEKA RHINEHART, AND PAT EVANS; OUR PUBLIC DEFENDER ' S WORKPLACE; OUR STAFF ' S WORKPLACE INCLUDING OUR STAFF OF COURTS ARCHIE SMITH, ASHLEY CROOM, AND MALISA HOPKINS; DANIEL BOWES FROM THE NC JUSTICE CENTER; GINA REYMAN FROM LEGAL AID OF NC; OUR BELOVED GROUP OF LAWYERS AND TEAM: ARNETTA HERRING, LAURA HOLLAND, JOSEPH LAIZURE, HENRY RIVA-PALACIO AND LAUREN ROBBINS -REPRESENTING THE CITY ATTORNEY ' S OFFICE, NC JUSTICE CENTER, AND LEGAL HELP; THE EQUIVALENT ACCESSIBILITY TO JUSTICE COMMISSION AND NC FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD SOURCE FACILITY; NCCU AND FIGHT IT OUT LAW COLLEGES; JOSHUA MCINTYRE AND THE DURHAM BAR ORGANIZATION; THE GEORGE H.WHITE BAR; THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SOURCE FACILITY; ALEX WILLIAMS AND MEMBERS OF ALL OF United States OR NONE; DAN REARICK AND TRAINEES FROM CODE THE DESIRE; VOLUNTEERS FROM CODE FOR DURHAM; AND OUR CITY ' S TECHNOLOGY TEAM: ERIN PARISH, CHUCK MANNING, DARIN JOHNSON, AND SHANNON DELANEY, AND THE DRIVEN, GREAT LEADER OF THE PRECIOUS'PROGRAM WHO HAS BROUGHT ALL THIS WITH EACH OTHER, RYAN SMITH. [PRAISE] IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT”BETTER TOGETHER”RESEMBLES, LOOK NO MORE.

AND SO I WISH YOU ' LL STICK AROUND FOR THAT AND AFTER THAT AFTER THAT WE ' LL BE TAKING A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK SO THAT WE CANISTER OBTAIN PREPARED FOR THE NEXT COMPONENT OF OUR MEETING.I WANT TO WELCOME ALL OF YOU HERE THIS EVENING AND ALSO THOSE SEEING BELOW THIS EVENING TO THIS CONFERENCE OF THE DURHAM CITY COUNCIL AND TO THIS STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS. THE 33,000 STUDENTS IN DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY ARE OUR CITY ' S FUTURE, AND WE REQUIREMENT SCHOOLS IN WHICH EVERY KID CANISTER THRIVE. RIGHT HERE ' S OUR OFFER: IF YOU CAN GET TOGETHER A TEAM OF 5 OR EVEN MORE MOMS AND DADS WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE A DECISION WHERE TO SEND OUT YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL IN DURHAM, I OR ANOTHER PERSON ELECTED AUTHORITIES WITH CHILDREN IN THE COLLEGES WILL CERTAINLY CHECK OUT YOUR HOME FOR A DISCUSSION ABOUT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TELL YOU CONCERNING WHAT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS CONTAINER DEAL YOUR HOUSEHOLD. I AM PLEASED TONIGHT TO SHARE 3 EXAMPLES

OF THE WAY OUR CITY GOVERNMENT IS TAKING SERIOUSLY OUR OWN DUTY TO MAKE DURHAM A CITY OF SECONDLY CHANCES.THE FIRST IS THE DURHAM EXPUNCTION AND REMEDIATION PROGRAM, REFERRED TO FREQUENTLY AS BELOVED. HAVING A CRIMINAL RECORD OR A PUT ON HOLD CHAUFFEUR LICENSE MAKES IT MUCH MORE CHALLENGING FOR CITIZENS TO LOCATE WORK AND HOUSING AND TO SHARE IN DURHAM ' S PROSPERITY.THANKS ALL SOMUC. [APPLAUSE] ANOTHER MEANS THE CITY IS DEMONSTRATING ITS COMMITMENT TO MAKE DURHAM A CITY OF SECOND CHANCES IS HOW WE RATE PEOPLE BACK HOME THAT HAVE SERVED TIME IN OUR PRISONS.

THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL EITHER SUCCEED REINTEGRATING INTO OUR CITY OR WE WILL ALL BE THEM DO IT.O WE DEMAND TO ASSIST – 700 INDIVIDUALS COME BACK HOME TO DURHAM EVERY YEAR FROM PRISON. AND AS COMPONENT OF NEW PROGRAM WE ARE PILOTING, I HAVE BEGAN WRITING LETTERS TO EVERY OF OUR RESIDENTS RETURNING FROM JAIL TO WELCOME THEM BACK HOME. “REENTRY IS HARD,” I SHARE, “BUT YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE.” THE LETTERS ARE JUST ONE PART OF A LARGER PROGRAM CALLED WELCOME HOME ESTABLISHED BY OUR CITY'' S ADVANCEMENT GROUP IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DURHAM'' S REGIONAL REENTRY COUNCIL. IN NOVEMBER, THE PROGRAM STARTED INVITING BACK CITIZENS RETURNING HOME FROM THREE NEIGHBORING JAILS.

THE CITY PROVIDES RETURNING HOMEOWNERS WITH CARE PACKAGES THAT CONSIST OF FOOD, GARMENTS, BUS PASSES AND VARIOUS OTHER BASIC NECESSITIES. WE HAVE ALSO HIRED 2 PEER ASSISTANCE PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF REENTRY AND WHO FUNCTION INDIVIDUALLY WITH OUR RETURNING CITIZENS TO OFFER A RELIED ON RESOURCE OF SUPPORT AND MENTORSHIP AND TO ASSIST CONNECT THEM QUICKER TO RESOURCES AT OUR CITIZEN REENTRY COUNCIL. WE ARE BEGINNING TO OBTAIN DEDICATIONS FROM FAITH AREAS AND VARIOUS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO GIVE AN RECURRING SUPPLY OF WELCOME HOME CARE PACKAGES. SO IF YOU BELONG TO AN COMPANY CURIOUS ABOUT WELCOMING BACK OUR RETURNING RESIDENTS BY PROVIDING WELCOME HOME TREATMENT PACKAGES, WE REQUIREMENT YOU TO BE IN CONTACT WITH OUR I-TEAM. TONITE IT IS MY SATISFACTION TO RECOGNIZE REGINALD MUMFORD, THE– I HE RIGHT HERE? PLEASE STAND– EXTREMELY FIRST PARTICIPANT IN THE WELCOME HOME PROGRAM.

MR. MUMFORD, PLEASE STAND. [PRAISE] WELCOME HOME, SIR! >> > > THANKS >>. > > IN ANOTHER EFFORT TO OFFER PEOPLE A 2ND POSSIBILITY, THIS APRIL, THE CITY WILL CERTAINLY PILOT A BRAND-NEW TRANSITIONAL WORK PROGRAM. THESE JOBS ARE ESPECIALLY MEANT FOR RETURNING LOCALS AND ARE CREATED TO CONSTRUCT JOB PREPAREDNESS WHILE GIVING WRAP-AROUND and employment SOLUTIONS. THIS PROGRAM WILL CERTAINLY TRY TO GIVE A BRIDGE TO SUSTAINABLE WORK. OUR CITY WILL CERTAINLY WORK TO ACT AS A MODEL FOR VARIOUS OTHER COMPANIES TO FOLLOW. AND AFTER OUR FIRST MATE COMPLETES THE TRANSITIONAL TASKS PROGRAM IN SEPTEMBER, WE WILL CERTAINLY BE LOOKING TO PRIVATE EMPLOYERS TO STEP UP AND OFFER THESE JOB-READY PROSPECTS A POSSIBILITY. TO MAKE THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL, WE NECESSITY COME TO BE A CITY THAT WELCOMES SECOND POSSIBILITIES. I ASK EVERY ONE OF YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT YOU CONTAINER DO TO ASSIST US ADVANCE THIS IMPORTANT WORK.ADVANCING THE TECHNOLOGY GROUP ' S FUNCTION HAS REQUIRED RESOURCES, AND I WISH TO OFFER A SHOUT-OUT RIGHT HERE TO THE BLOOMBERG FOUNDATION, AN AMAZING COMPANION, WHICH HAS FUNDED OUR I-TEAM, THE MAYOR ' S TRANSPORT CHALLENGE, AND A TRAINING ASSOCIATE FOR NEW MAYORS TO WHICH I WAS INVITED THIS YEAR. I ' LL TELL YOU A SECRET: THERE WERE 40 NEW MAYORS IN THIS FRIEND, AND I WAS THE EARLIEST! [GIGGLING] WHILE I AM ON THE SUBJECT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, I WISHED TO TALK A MOMENT ABOUT THE CASH BOND SYSTEM. WE KNOW THAT CASH BOND PRODUCES A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IN WHICH THOSE WITH MONEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACQUISITION THEIR FREEDOM, WHILE THOSE WITHOUT MONEY REMAIN IN JAIL, OFTEN FOR MONTHS, AWAITING THEIR DAY IN COURT. DURHAM'' S RECENTLY SWORN DISTRICT LAWYER SATANA DEBERRY HAS SUGGESTED AN AMBITIOUS NEW PRETRIAL LAUNCH PLAN TO ELDERLY RESIDENT SUPERIOR COURT COURT HUDSON TO COMBAT THIS INEQUITABLE SYSTEM.

THE POLICY TAKES WEALTH OUT OF THE EQUATION AND EMPHASIS ON WHAT ABSOLUTELY MATTERS IN CHOOSING THAT GOES HOME AND THAT IS JAILED PENDING TRIAL: RISK TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THREAT OF FLIGHT. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS ACTION, AND I HOPE YOU WILL CERTAINLY. [APPLAUSE] WHAT I HAVE ACTUALLY DESCRIBED WITH THE CITY'' S COPS REFORMS, OUR PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND OUR I-TEAM FUNCTION IS A SOCIETY OF INNOVATION IN CITY GOVERNMENT. TOM BONFIELD HAS JUST PASSED HIS TENTH ANNIVERSARY AS OUR CITY MANAGER, AND EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HE SUPERVISOR– [APPLAUSE]– AND EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HE HAS DONE A MAGNIFICENT WORK MANAGING OUR CITY'' S FINANCES AND SOLUTIONS.

WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT TOM IS THAT HE URGES, NOURISHES, AND SECURES TECHNOLOGY, AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE CULTURE THAT WE DO. TOM, I RECOGNIZE THAT OUR PROTESTOR CITY BOARD CANISTER FROM TIME TO TIME BE A DIFFICULTY FOR YOU AND YOUR PERSONNEL, [LAUGHTER] AND I TRULY APPRECIATE THE MEANS YOU USE THE SECURITY AND TRUTH CHECKS WE REQUIREMENT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU PROCEED TO HAVE MY FULL SELF-CONFIDENCE, MY ADORATION AND MY DAILY THANKFULNESS. [PRAISE] IT IS THE CITY'' S FRONT-LINE EMPLOYEES, THOUGH, THAT MAKE OUR CITY GO. TONIGHT, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE 3 OF OUR PERSONNEL FOR THEIR RESPONSE TO THE 12-INCH SNOW WE HAD THIS PAST WINTER MONTHS. A LOT OF OUR WORKER DID YEOMAN'' S FUNCTION DURING THE SNOW, BUT TONIGHT WE ARE RECOGNIZING– IF YOU LISTEN TO COUNCIL CONFERENCE'' S EVER, YOU ' LL KNOW WE REGULARLY REPORT ON THAT TYPE OF WORK, BUT TONIGHT I WISH TO IDENTIFY DANIEL AUSTIN, NATE MARBURY AND MICHAEL NORWOOD.

WILL YOU PLEASE STAND? THANK YOU. [PRAISE] KEEP STANDING. THANK YOU. KEEPING TOWN HALL PERFORMANCE IS IMPORTANT TO OUR RESIDENTS, AND TWICE DURING DECEMBER, WEATHER THREATENED OUR CAPACITY TO DO THAT. NATE MARBURY AND MICHAEL NORWOOD ARE BOTH ELECTRICIANS IN THE GENERAL SOLUTIONS DEPARTMENT, AND DANIEL AUSTIN IS THE FRESHLY ADVERTISED FACILITIES DIVISION MANAGER. DURING THE SNOW, MR. MARBURY WORKED THROUGHOUT THE ICING UP EVENING WITH FIGHT IT OUT ENERGY, ASSISTING IN THE REPLACEMENT OF A BROKEN TRANSFORMER, LOCATED IN A SAFE UNDERNEATH MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT PLAZA. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, WHEN THE TRANSFORMER STOPPED WORKING AT THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT ANNEX, MR. MARBURY, MR. NORWOOD, AND MR. AUSTIN COLLABORATED WITH A BORROWED GENERATOR TO KEEP MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE UNTIL THE TRANSFORMER COULD BE CHANGED AND POWER RESTORED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INGENUITY ON THOSE CHILLY, COLD EVENINGS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO OUR CITY. [APPLAUSE] I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK PERFORMING FIRE CAPTAIN JERALD WHITTINGTON, VEHICLE DRIVER ANTOINE BURTON, AND FIREMAN JUAN VERDIN TO STAND. THIS PAST OCTOBER, ENGINE FIRM 6 WAS THE FIRST DEVICE TO THE DEADLY FIRE THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE OAK CREEK TOWN COMMUNITY.CAPTAIN WHITTINGTON, MR. BURTON, AND MR. VERDIN GOT HERE TO FIND A ROARING BLAZE WHERE MANY INDIVIDUAL WERE ENTRAPED IN A TWO-STORY HOME. THESE FIREFIGHTERS PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO SHIELD OTHERS AS THEY FOUGHT THE FIRE. THAT ' S NOT ALL. THE FIREMENS RECOGNIZED THE NEEDS AND VULNERABILITIES OF THE INDIVIDUALS OF OAK CREEK VILLAGE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE FIRE, THEY RE-ENGAGED AND MET WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS. THEY ABSOLUTELY TOOK THEIR OUTREACH TO THE NEXT DEGREE WITH An AREA SECURITY EVENT, SMOKE ALARM CANVASSING, AND CONTINUED HOME SAFETY AND SECURITY CHECKS OUT. THEIR EFFORTS SUPPLIED FOR MUCH-NEEDED HEALING, AND THEY CONTINUE IN OAK CREEK TOWN TO THIS PARTICULAR DAY. WE APPLAUD THEM. [PRAISE] THE CITY COUNCIL ITSELF ONLY DIRECTLY USES THREE INDIVIDUALS: THE CITY SUPERVISOR, THE CITY CLERK AND THE CITY ATTORNEY.DIANA SCHREIBER

HAS BEEN OUR CITY CLERK FOR ABOUT A YEAR CURRENTLY, AND I INTEND TO THANK YOU, DIANA, FOR A WORK QUITE POSSIBLY DONE. I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP AND RESPONSIVENESS SO MUCH, AND YOU HAVE MY FULL BELIEF AND CONFIDENCE. [APPLAUSE] AS MUCH OF YOU RECOGNIZE, OUR CITY LAWYER, PATRICK BAKER, IS LEAVING United States IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS TO COME TO BE THE CITY LAWYER IN CHARLOTTE. WE'' LL HAVE A LOT MORE TO SAY ABOUT PATRICK IN HIS FINAL COMMON COUNCIL MEETING IN DURHAM, BUT PERMIT ME TO SAY TONIGHT WHAT A FANTASTIC PRIVILEGE IT HAS BEEN FOR ME, PATRICK, TO COLLABORATE WITH YOU FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS.

YOU HAVE ACTUALLY MADE TRULY REMARKABLE SOLUTION TO OUR CITY GOVERNMENT AND TO OUR AREA, BOTH AS CITY SUPERVISOR AND AS CITY ATTORNEY. WE DREAM YOU WELL, WE WILL MISS YOU, AND WE THANKS. [APPLAUSE] CURRENTLY I WANT TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY AND CHANCE TO SHAPE THAT FUTURE RATHER THAN SIMPLY SUBMIT TO IT. THE PROBLEM THAT I READ ABOUT EVERYDAY SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER, THE PROBLEM THAT GETS ON EVERYONE'' S MIND, IS THE CONCERN OF GENTRIFICATION AND HOUSING AFFORDABILITY >>. >> > > YES, YES. > > SOMETIMES I HEAR THE DATA. MUCH MORE OFTEN I LISTEN TO THE STORIES. PEOPLE TELL ME AT ALL TIMES THAT THEY CONTAINER'' T AFFORD THEIR RENTAL FEE AND NEED TO LEAVE THEIR MIDTOWN COMMUNITY AND RELOCATION FARTHER OUT. YOUNG COUPLES WITH MIDDLE COURSES WORK CAN'' T AFFORD TO GET A HOME IN DURHAM. OUR HOMELESS ADVOCATES AND RAPID REHOUSING ALLIES TELL ME THEY CAN'' T FIND POSITIONS FOR THEIR CLIENTS ANY MORE. HOW CANISTER THE CITY WE LOVE BE A CITY FOR ALL IF LOTS LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS, PREDOMINANTLY INDIVIDUALS OF SHADE, CANISTER NO LONGER AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THEY HAVE RESIDED IN FOR MANY YEARS, EVEN YEARS? AS THE BULL CITY TRANSFORMS 150 THIS YEAR, WE FACE 2 FEASIBLE FUTURES, AND WE GET TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM. ONE FUTURE IS TO PROCEED DOING ALL THE GREAT WORK ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT WE ARE DOING NOW, TO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT EVEN FROM ANOTHER LOCATION SUFFICIENT, AND TO VIEW AS OUR DOWNTOWN AREAS ESCAPE, BECOMING EVEN LESS AFFORDABLE AND RICHER AND WHITER.

THERE IS ANOTHER PERSON POSSIBLE FUTURE THAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS EVENING, AND THAT'' S THE FUTURE IN WHICH WE CHOOSE TO FIGHT BACK. I'' M GOING TO TELL YOU REGARDING THE STRATEGY. I'' M GOING TO INFORM YOU HOW WE CAN SPEND FOR IT. IT'' S GOING TO TAKE A GREAT DEAL OF CASH AND A WHOLE LOT OF YEARS. I THINK THIS PARTICULAR FUTURE IS WORTH DEALING WITH FOR, AND I AM BELOW TONITE TO ASK YOU TO FIGHT FOR IT WITH ME.WE ARE ALREADY DOING A GREAT DEAL OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING WORK. CITY FUNDS ARE SUPPORTING THE DURHAM REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY AS IT RESTORES 336 SYSTEMS AT DAMAR COURT AND MORREENE ROADWAY TO KEEP THEM PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE. CITY FUNDS ARE SUSTAINING DHIC AND SELF-HELP IN THEIR JOINT VENTURE TO BUILD 82 AFFORDABLE UNITS NEARBY TO DURHAM STATION. WE ARE SUPPORTING THE IMPROVEMENT AND PERMANENT COST OF 54 DEVICES OWNED BY THE DURHAM AREA LAND TRUSTEES IN EAST DURHAM. WE ARE FINANCING CASA TO MAINTAIN THE 44 UNITS AT THE MAPLEWOOD-UNDERWOOD APARTMENTS PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE. WE ARE FINANCING ENVIRONMENT. WE ARE PLACING MUCH MORE CITY DOLLARS THAN EVER PRIOR TO INTO HOME REPAIRS WHICH ARE CRITICAL TO AIDING LONG-LASTING, LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES.I APPLAUD OUR

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR STEPPING UP TO FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON 2 OF THEIR MIDTOWN CAR PARKING LOTS. THERE'' S A GREAT DEAL MORE I COULD TELL YOU, BUT RIGHT HERE'' S THE MAJOR POINT: ALL THAT GREAT WORK, IT'' S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. IF WE DO THE ECONOMICAL REAL ESTATE WORK WE ARE DOING NOW, MONEYED AT THE EXACT SAME LEVEL, WE WILL CERTAINLY NOT DRAMATICALLY CHANGE THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN AS THE PROVINCE OF UPPER MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE INDIVIDUALS WHILE INDIVIDUALS OF SHADE ARE PUSHED TO THE MARGINS, FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM EXCELLENT JOBS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC TRANSIT TO OBTAIN THEM TO THOSE JOBS. TONIGHT, I'' M GOING TO DESCRIBE A TRANSFORMATIONAL PLAN, AND I'' M THRILLED TO INTRODUCE THAT THE PRIMARY STEP IN THAT STRATEGY IS UNDERWAY.

LAST FEBRUARY, IN MY STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, I ACKNOWLEDGED PHAIL WYNN, VICE-PRESIDENT OF FIGHT IT OUT UNIVERSITY, FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE HOUSING FINANCE FUND. THIS FUND WILL ENABLE OUR NONPROFIT AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS TO MOVE QUICKLY TO COMPETE IN THE MARKETPLACE WHEN A PROPERTY COMES UP FOR SALE, AND IT WILL CERTAINLY PERMIT THE NONPROFIT TO HOLD THE BUILDING FOR UP TO 5 YEARS AT A REALLY LOW RATES OF INTEREST WHILE IT ARRANGES An IRREVERSIBLE SUBSIDY. DR. WYNN, MY BUDDY AND A FANTASTIC PAL TO DURHAM, DIED TRAGICALLY BEFORE THIS WORK COULD BE FINISHED. BUT IN HIS HONOR, OTHERS, LED BY OUR OWN KAREN LADO AND TUCKER BARTLETT OF THE SELF-HELP LENDING INSTITUTION, CHOSE UP THE WOULD and initiatives NOT LET IT PASS AWAY. TONIGHT, I AM SO DELIGHTED TO REVEAL, IN HONOR OF DR.PHAIL WYNN, THE LAUNCH THIS SPRING OF THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE FINANCE MONEYED WITH FIRST FINANCING OF$10 MILLION. [APPLAUSE] ON TOP OF THE$ 2 MILLION IN CITY FINANCES IN THIS FUND, THE NORTH CAROLINA NEIGHBORHOOD GROWTH INITIATIVE IS LENDING$2 MILLION. FIGHT IT OUT COLLEGE IS FINANCING $3 MILLION. AND OUR FINAL FINANCIER IS SUNTRUST BANK, WHICH IS BORROWING$3 MILLION AT A REALLY LOW RATES OF INTEREST TO THE FUND. CANISTER I ASK THE ADHERING TO PEOPLE TO PLEASE STAND: KAREN LADO AND TUCKER BARTLETT; TARA KENCHEN, EXECUTIVE SUPERVISOR OF THE CAMPAIGN THAT HAS BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE OF THIS INITIATIVE; STELFANIE WILLIAMS, THE NEW VICE PRESIDENT FOR DURHAM AFFAIRS AT DUKE THAT HAS KEPT AND REINFORCED ALL OF DR. WYNN ' S AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEDICATIONS; AND CHRIS BELL AND AUTRICE CAMPBELL-LONG OF SUNTRUST WHICH IS SETUP A CRUCIAL EXAMPLE FOR OTHER BANKS AS WE SEEK TO BROADEN THE FUND. WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO ALL OF YOU. [PRAISE] I MIGHT ADD THAT AUTRICE CAMPBELL-LONG IS MARRIED TO OUR SOLID WASTE SUPERVISOR DONALD LONG. IT ' S EXCELLENT TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE

POWER COUPLE IN YOUR HOUSE TONIGHT. [LAUGHTER] OVER THE LAST YEAR, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION HAS BEEN PUTTING WITH EACH OTHER An EXTENSIVE FIVE-YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGY FOR OUR CITY. THEY HAVE DONE A REMARKABLE JOB, AND I WISH TO FUND THE PLAN. THE ENTIRE STRATEGY. HERE IS WHAT WE CAN DO IN 5 YEARS if WE FUND THE WHOLE PLAN. WE CAN DEVELOP 30 ACRES OF DURHAM REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY PROPERTY RIGHT IN THE CORE OF DOWNTOWN, AT JJ HENDERSON, OLDHAM TOWERS, FREEDOM ROAD, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OFFICE BUILDING, AND FOREST HILLSIDES HEIGHTS, CHANGING ALL 387 OF THE AGING REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY UNITS FOR OUR CITIZENS THAT ARE A LOT OF IN REQUIREMENT AND WE CANISTER KEEP THEM LIVING MIDTOWN. WE WILL MAKE THOSE FEATURES MIXED-INCOME DEVELOPMENTS, END THE SEPARATED DESTITUTION OF DURHAM AUTHORITY RESIDENTS. CURRENTLY, THESE RESIDENTS ARE BIRTHING THE DUAL PROBLEMS OF POVERTY. NOT ONLY ARE THEY POOR, BUT EVERY PERSON IN THEIR COMMUNITY IS

POOR, SO THEY HAVE NO COMMON RESOURCES TO COUNT ON. WE WILL CERTAINLY ALTER THIS. WE WILL FUND THE REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY TO BUILD 863 NEW AFFORDABLE UNITS ON THEIR MIDTOWN PROPERTIES, A LOT OF THE DEVICES INEXPENSIVE TO A HOUSEHOLD OF 4 WITH AN REVENUE OF $48,000 OR LESS. ANDS ALSO, THE REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY WILL INCLUDE 405 MARKET-RATE UNITS TO PRODUCE ABSOLUTELY MIXED-INCOME COMMUNITIES ON THEIR RESIDENCES. AS OPPOSED TO A FUTURE WHERE WE ABANDONMENT MIDTOWN TO THE RICHEST PURCHASERS, WE WILL DEVELOP A MULTI-RACIAL DOWNTOWN IN WHICH INDIVIDUALS OF LIMITED MEANS CANISTER LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY.WE WILL CERTAINLY ADDITIONALLY AVOID BEING HOMELESS, AND WE WILL RESIDENCE OUR HOMELESS. RATHER THAN A FUTURE OF

A GROWING NUMBER OF HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS, WE WILL CERTAINLY CONSTRUCT OUT OUR NEW COORDINATED ACCESS SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A CENTRAL FRONT DOOR TO HOMELESS SERVICES IN DURHAM THAT IS LOW OBSTACLE AND OBTAINABLE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. WE WILL BUY DIVERSION THAT ASSISTS PEOPLE IN MOMENTS OF HOUSING DILEMMA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR OWN RESOURCES. WE WILL DEVELOP A LANDLORD MOTIVATION PROGRAM TO URGE LANDLORDS TO RESIDENCE HOMELESS PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WITH AREA 8 VOUCHERS.WE WILL CERTAINLY EXPAND STREET OUTREACH TO ENSURE THAT SOLITARY ADULTS SLEEPING OUTSIDE CAN OBTAIN THE RESOURCES THEY DEMAND. WE WILL CERTAINLY EXPAND OUR RAPID REHOUSING FUNDING, AND WE WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE OUR SUPPLY OF PERMANENT HELPFUL HOUSING TO HOUSE CONSTANTLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS WITH HANDICAPS. WE WILL EXPAND THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE HOUSING FINANCE FUND TO AT LEAST$15 MILLION. FOR THOSE NON-PROFITS THAT USE THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE CAR LOAN FUND TO PURCHASE BUILDING TO MAINTAIN IT COMPLETELY AFFORDABLE, OUR FIVE-YEAR REAL ESTATE STRATEGY INCLUDES FUNDS TO GET THOSE LENDINGS ONCE A PLAN FOR PERMANENT COST REMAINS IN PLACE.WE WILL MAKE SPACE FUNDING AVAILABLE TO DEVELOPERS, INCLUDING THE REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY, WHO MAKE USAGE OF THE 4%TAX OBLIGATION CREDIT REPORT TO DEVELOP ECONOMICAL SYSTEMS. WE WILL CERTAINLY DOUBLE OUR SUPPORT FOR SMALL-SCALE, MULTI-FAMILY

PROJECTS, EITHER PRESERVATION OR NEW PROJECTS, BY OUR LOCAL NON-PROFITS. WE WILL CERTAINLY BOOST ASSISTANCE FOR AFFORDABLE SINGLE-FAMILY AND DUPLEX SERVICE PROJECTS IN TARGET NEIGHBORHOODS, INCLUDING NEIGHBORHOODS IN OUR KEY BUS HALLWAYS, OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION HALLWAY, AND ALONG THE BELTLINE AND OTHER MIDTOWN TRACKS. WE WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE THE HOME REPAIR PROGRAM TO MAINTAIN MORE LONG-LASTING, LOW-INCOME PROPERTY OWNERS IN THEIR HOUSE. WE WILL DEVELOP COLLABORATION TO GET TO OUT TO THESE HOMEOWNERS TO CONSIDERABLY BOOST THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AVAILING THEMSELVES OF THE STATE HOME TAX OBLIGATION CREDIT REPORTS AND TO INFORM THEM ABOUT DANGERS OF PREDATORY PURCHASE AND THE ALTERNATIVES THEY CAN PURSUE.WE WILL DEVELOP A CITYWIDE DOWN-PAYMENT HELP PROGRAM OFFERING$20,000 SECOND MORTGAGES TO HELP LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS PURCHASE A HOME. WE WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE OUR NEW FINANCING OF LAWYER WORKING WITH LAWFUL AID TO REPRESENT RENTERS IN EXPULSION CASES SO WE CANISTER LOWER OUR COMMUNITY ' S HIGH EVICTION RATES AND KEEP PEOPLE IN THEIR HOUSE. WE WILL CERTAINLY COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL LENDERS TO MAKE LENDINGS AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES THAT WISH TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN DEVICE HOME UNITS. INCLUDING IT ALL UP, RIGHT HERE IS WHAT WE WILL DO IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS: WE WILL CERTAINLY SUPPORT THE CREATION OF EVEN MORE THAN 1,800 NEW AFFORDABLE LEASING UNITS, WITH THE EXCELLENT MAJORITY OF THEM DOWNTOWN. WE WILL CERTAINLY SUPPORT THE CONSERVATION OF GREATER THAN 800 ECONOMICAL RENTALS, THE MAJORITY OF THEM MIDTOWN. WE WILL CERTAINLY MOVE AT LEAST 1,700 HOMELESS FAMILIES INTO IRREVERSIBLE REAL ESTATE. WE WILL CREATE A MINIMUM OF 190 HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION OF 100 NEW UNITS AND DEPOSITS SUPPORT TO 90 LOW-INCOME HOUSES. WE WILL STABILIZE GREATER THAN 1,800 LOW-INCOME OCCUPANTS IN THEIR RESIDENCE VIA EVICTION DIVERSION, EMERGENCY SITUATION LEASING ASSISTANCE, HOME TAX HELP, AND REPAIRS.WE WILL ACT ON A SCALE THAT FEW, IF ANY, OTHER CITIES IN THIS NATION ARE DOING, CERTAINLY NO OTHER CITIES OF OUR SIZE. THIS ISN ' T JUST ABOUT THE RANGE. IT IS ALSO ABOUT WHERE THE HOUSING WILL CERTAINLY BE. WE WILL CREATE AN INCLUSIVE MIDTOWN IN DURHAM, A RACIALLY VARIED DOWNTOWN, THE DIFFICULT DESIRE FOR EXPANDING AMERICAN CITIES.

WE WILL CHOOSE THE FUTURE THAT DESERVES A CITY THAT WISHES TO LIVE UP TO ITS INSURANCE CLAIM TO BE A PROGRESSIVE BEACON FOR THE SOUTH AND THE NATION.WHAT WILL IT COST FOR United States TO END UP BEING THE CITY WE WISH TO END UP BEING? ALONG WITH OUR CURRENT RESIDENT AND FEDERAL FUNDS, THE PRICES OF THIS FUNCTION WILL BE $95 MILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. SO I WILL BE ASKING MY CITY BOARD COLLEAGUES TO AREA ON OUR NOVEMBER ELECTION TALLY A MANDATE ON A $95 MILLION BOND CONCERN TO FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ADJUSTMENT THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY FOR LIFE. [PRAISE]$ 95 MILLION IS A BIG NUMBER, BUT THERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER NUMBER THAT IS ESSENTIAL BELOW. THIS CITY INVESTING WILL CERTAINLY LEVERAGE A MINIMUM OF $445 MILLION MORE IN SPENDING BY OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTITIES ON THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING WORK, AND IT WILL CREATE THOUSANDS OF JOBS. AND WHAT WILL THIS COST YOU, THE TAXPAYER? WE CANISTER FUND THIS BOND FOR ABOUT TWO-AND-A-QUARTER CENTS ON THE TAX RATE. HERE IS WHAT THAT MEANS : IF YOU POSSESS A $250,000 RESIDENCE IN DURHAM, YOU WILL BE PAYING $56 EVEN MORE EACH YEAR TO ASSIST SUPPLY HOUSING FOR OTHERS, AND TO AID PRODUCE THE SIMPLY AREA THAT WE ALL WANT. IT ' S A BIG LIFT, I RECOGNIZE. IT ' S TIME ONE CITY IN THIS NATION DID IT, AND I KNOW THAT

CITY CANISTER BE DURHAM. OVER THE NEXT MONTH, I WILL CERTAINLY BE ASSEMBLING AN ADVISORY BOARD TO AID EXPLAIN THIS STRATEGY TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, TO GET TO OUT TO EVERY CONSTITUENCY BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER.WE HAVE TO CHOOSE IF WE AS An AREA REALLY WISH TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GENTRIFICATION AND AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, OR IF WE ' RE SIMPLY GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. ARE WE GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT RACIAL EQUITY A LOT, BUT NEGLECT IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIGGEST EQUITY OBSTACLE OUR CITY FACES? THE CELEBRITIES ARE LINED UP. WE HAVE A TERRIFIC STRATEGY. WE HAVE NON-PROFITS THAT CAN DO THE FUNCTION. WE HAVE IN ANTHONY SCOTT A TERRIFIC SUPERVISOR

AT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. [APPLAUSE] THE ONLY CONCERN IS THIS: DO WE HAVE THE ETHICAL DEDICATION AND THE POLITICAL WILL? INDIVIDUALS ASK ME REGULARLY ABOUT WHAT THEY CONTAINER DO FOR DURHAM. THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY DO. YOU CAN JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR THIS BOND REFERENDUM FOR DURHAM ' S COMPREHENSIVE FUTURE. WATCH OUT FOR WAYS YOU CAN JOIN AND AUTHORIZE UP. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SUBJECT OF REAL ESTATE, I INTENDED TO SAY THAT THE SUBSIDIZED INEXPENSIVE HOUSING PLAN I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING NEEDS TO BE SUPPLEMENTED BY THOUGHTFUL LAND USE PLANNING IF WE ARE TO PERFORM WHATEVER WE CAN TO DEVELOP AFFORDABILITY.IN THAT RESPECT, I REALLY FEEL CALLED TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS CONCERNING INCREASING HOUSING CHOICES, OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT ' S ZONING PROPOSITION THAT IS MAKING ITS MEANS THROUGH THE AREA FORUMS AND SOON TO THE PREPARING COMMISSION AND THE GOVERNING BODIES. I ALWAYS GET MY FINAL JUDGMENT ON ANY PUBLIC HEARING MATTER SIMILAR TO THIS UNTIL THE HEARING IS OVER, AND NOW I HAVEN ' T ALSO SEEN THE RECOMMENDED MESSAGE MODIFICATIONS. BUT I DO HAVE A POINT OF VIEW I INTEND TO SHOW TO YOU THIS EVENING. OVER 2000 BRAND-NEW REAL ESTATE SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED EACH YEAR SIMPLY TO MAINTAIN UP WITH DURHAM ' S POPULATION GROWTH, AND WE HAVE MISSED THIS NUMBER IN SIX OF THE LAST ONE DECADE. THIS LACK OF REAL ESTATE PRODUCTION IS MADE WORSE BY THE FACT THAT THE STANDARD NEW DURHAM RESIDENT HAS$10,000 EVEN MORE IN ANNUAL EARNINGS THAN THE STANDARD CURRENT CITIZEN, SO NEWCOMERS ARE BETTER ABLE TO CONTEND FOR LIMITED HOUSING CHANCES. THAT IS THE MAJOR ROOT CAUSE OF DISPLACEMENT OF LONG-TIME DURHAM RESIDENTS. CITY ZONING POLICIES BECOME PART OF THE TROUBLE. AS AN EXAMPLE, APPROXIMATELY 40%OF OUR LAND IS ZONED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SINGLE-FAMILY REAL ESTATE, WHICH CANISTER BE REALLY COSTLY AND IS INCREASINGLY UNATTAINABLE TO OUR LOWER AND MIDDLE-INCOME LOCALS. THESE RESTRICTED HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES DIDN ' T SIMPLY OCCUR OUT OF THIN AIR. THEY ARE A LEGACY OF REDLINING AND URBAN REVIVAL THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED DRAMATICALLY TO THE RACIAL WIDE RANGE GAP IN DURHAM AND THROUGHOUT THE NATION. THE INTENDING DIVISION ' S EXPANDING HOUSING CHOICES INITIATIVE IS ONE CRUCIAL METHOD TO ADDRESS THAT HERITAGE OF RACISM. WE NEED EVEN MORE INEXPENSIVE DUPLEX, SMALL HOME, AND ACCESSORY RESIDENCE SYSTEM OPPORTUNITIES, PARTICULARLY IN YOUR AREA THAT HAVE SEEN HUGE RUN-UPS IN REAL ESTATE RATES SUCH AS EAST DURHAM, WALLTOWN AND SOUTHSIDE. IF WE FAIL TO SUPPLY THESE POSSIBILITIES IN THE NEAR-DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS NEAR TO JOBS, TRANSPORTATION, AND ALL THE EXCELLENT THINGS DURHAM NEEDS TO OFFER, WE WILL ENSURE RISING PRICES AND EVEN MORE VARIATION IN OUR HISTORICALLY STABLE, LOWER-AND-MIDDLE EARNINGS NEIGHBORHOODS. THESE NEW REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES CONTAINER AND REQUIREMENT GUARANTEE THAT THE PERSONALITY AND TOP QUALITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IS PROTECTED. WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE NEED FOR HOUSING IN OUR NEAR-DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS RESULT IN TEARDOWNS AND CONVERSIONS OF AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE TO UNAFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE EXPANDING REAL ESTATE CHOICES INITIATIVE CAN NOT QUIT THIS PHENOMENON. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. WE NEED TO MAKE ROOM FOR THEM SOMEHOW WHICH ' S WHAT THIS EFFORT DOES. WE ALSO REQUIRED A LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM. WE REQUIREMENT IT SO THAT THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE BLENDED INCOME AREA WE WILL BE STRUCTURE IN AND NEAR MIDTOWN DURHAM WILL CERTAINLY HAVE AFFORDABLE TRANSPORT TO THE GOOD WORK THROUGHOUT OUR

AREA. WE DEMAND IT TO MITIGATE THE FREEWAY GRIDLOCK THAT ENDANGERS OUR TOP QUALITY OF LIFE, AND WE REQUIREMENT IT BECAUSE IT ' S THE SOLITARY ESSENTIAL POINT WE CAN DO LOCALLY TO COMBAT ENVIRONMENT CHANGE.ALONG WITH AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS THE CONCERN I ' VE WORKED WITH THE MOST BECAUSE I WAS ELECTED MAYOR, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST'SEVERAL MONTHS. THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, 18 MILES AND 19 TERMINALS, WILL CERTAINLY BE THE FIRST CRITICAL BACKBONE OF OUR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, TO BE ADHERED TO BY A TRAVELER RAILWAY FROM DURHAM TO RALEIGH.

TO MAKE THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL, WE NECESSITY END UP BEING A CITY THAT EMBRACES 2ND OPPORTUNITIES. AS MANY OF YOU RECOGNIZE, OUR CITY LAWYER, PATRICK BAKER, IS LEAVING United States IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS TO END UP BEING THE CITY LAWYER IN CHARLOTTE. YOU HAVE RENDERED TRULY REMARKABLE SOLUTION TO OUR CITY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND TO OUR COMMUNITY, BOTH AS CITY MANAGER AND AS CITY LAWYER. HOW CONTAINER THE CITY WE LOVE BE A CITY FOR ALL IF MANY LOW-INCOME PEOPLE, PREDOMINANTLY PEOPLE OF SHADE, CONTAINER NO LONGER AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THEY HAVE LIVED IN FOR YEARS, EVEN YEARS? I WILL CERTAINLY BE ASKING MY CITY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES TO PLACE ON OUR NOVEMBER ELECTION BALLOT A VOTE ON A $95 MILLION BOND PROBLEM TO FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND CHANGE THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY FOR LIFE.THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GIVING FIFTY PERCENT OF THE $2.5 BILLION EXPENSE OF THE LIGHT RAIL, AND THAT CASH IS TIED UP AND AWAITING US TO MEET OUR LOCAL TARGET DATES. DURHAM AND ORANGE REGION VOTERS EXTREMELY APPROVED A SALES TAX OBLIGATION TO FUND THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AND THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IS PROVIDING $190 MILLION.

SOME EVEN MORE REGIONAL FINANCING WILL CERTAINLY BE NECESSARY, BUT THAT'' S NOT THE GREATEST OBSTACLE. FEBRUARY 28, JUST 10 DAYS FROM CURRENTLY, IS THE DUE DATE FOR GOTRIANGLE TO INDICATION COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH BOTH THE NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD AND NORFOLK-SOUTHERN, AND WITH DUKE UNIVERSITY. ALTHOUGH INTENSE ARRANGEMENTS ARE ONGOING, NEITHER THE RAILROADS NOR BATTLE EACH OTHER HAS AUTHORIZED YET AS THIS CRITICAL DUE DATE APPROACHES. IF WE DON'' T HAVE THESE AGREEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY FEBRUARY 28, A 15-YEAR INITIATIVE TO FUND AND BUILD THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WILL PASS AWAY An UNTIMELY END. I HAVE ADVISED HEAD OF STATE RATE OF FIGHT IT OUT AND THE RAILROAD EXECS TO INDICATION THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS SO WE CANISTER MOVE ON TOGETHER, AND I CONTACT THEM AGAIN TONIGHT TO ACCOMPLISH SO. THE FUTURE OF OUR AREA DEPENDS ON IT. [PRAISE] THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I INTEND TO INFORM YOU REGARDING TONIGHT. I INTEND TO EXTOL THE GRANT OUR AREA RENOVATION SOLUTIONS DIVISION SOUGHT AND WON TO SAFEGUARD FAMILIES FROM LEAD PAINT IN 180 OLDER HOMES. CONCERNING THE MAYOR'' S OBSTACLE GIVE WE WON FROM BLOOMBERG TO USE BEHAVIORAL BUSINESS ECONOMICS TO CONVINCE TRAVELERS TO FIND DOWNTOWN IN WAYS APART FROM THEIR VEHICLE.

ABOUT PARKS AND REC'' S INNOVATIVE MYDURHAM AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM FOR TEENS. I WISH TO EXTOL OUR SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT'' S ORGANICS RECYCLING WORK WHICH WILL AT SOME POINT HAVE United States CREATING COMPOST RIGHT BELOW IN DURHAM FROM OUR BACKYARD WASTE, FOOD WASTE, AND BIO-SOLIDS FROM OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. I WISH TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM CONCERNING THE SHARED PROSPERITY PLAN OUR OFFICE OF FINANCIAL AND WORKFORCE ADVANCEMENT IS STRUCTURE, INCLUDING PREPARES FOR A FINANCIAL OBLIGATION AND EQUITY FUND TO SUPPLY SEVERELY REQUIRED FUNCTIONING FUNDING TO OUR MINORITY ORGANIZATIONS.

I INTEND TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE RACE EQUITY WORK THAT OUR CITY PERSONNEL WILL CERTAINLY BE DOING IN COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG THE BELTLINE TRAIL, A WONDERFUL NEW PROPERTY FOR OUR CITY. I WISH TO INFORM YOU CONCERNING TREESDURHAM, THE NEW NON-PROFIT THAT IS DRIVING United States TO MEET OUR GOALS FOR A RENEWED AND EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED TREE COVER. I INTEND TO TELL YOU REGARDING THE COMMUNITY-LED FOOD JUSTICE FUNCTION GOING ON TO ENSURE THAT NOBODY IN DURHAM GOES HUNGRY, ABOUT OUR NEW RACIAL EQUITY COMMISSION, ABOUT THE EXCELLENT RECORD OF OUR BOARD ON CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS AND MEMORIALS, ABOUT THE MAYOR'' S COUNCIL ON FEMALE, AND OUR EVEN NEWER WORKERS CIVIL LIBERTIES COMMISSION.SO MUCH MAGNUM OPUS IS

GOING ON IN THIS CITY 150 YEARS AFTER ITS STARTING. ON APRIL 13, WE WILL CERTAINLY HOLD THE FIRST BIG BASH OF OUR SESQUICENTENNIAL YEAR, A FAMILY-FRIENDLY OCCASION TO WHICH EVERYONE IN DURHAM IS INVITED. I UH INVITE EVERY ONE OF YOU TO ATTEND. I AM EXTREMELY THANKFUL TO DISCOVER DURHAM AND THE MUSEUM OF DURHAM HISTORY FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON DURHAM 150, AND I ' M DELIGHTED THAT THIS CELEBRATION WILL CERTAINLY OCCUR IN TRUE DURHAM FASHION. THE STRATEGY IS FOR A DECENTRALIZED EVENT BETWEEN APRIL AND NOVEMBER WHEN WE HOPE THAT 150 DIFFERENT GROUPS WILL STRATEGY 150 VARIOUS EVENTS.SOME OF THEM WILL CERTAINLY BE SHEER FUN, AND SOME OF THEM WILL CERTAINLY TAKE A DIFFICULT CHECK OUT THE OBSTACLES OF OUR FIRST 150 YEARS SO WE CAN PICK UP FROM THEM AS WE ACTION ONWARD. IF YOUR INSTITUTION OR CHURCH OR CIVIC GROUP INTENDS TO SUBSCRIBE TO HOST AN OCCASION, CHECK OUT DURHAM150.ORG IN WHICH YOU CAN ALSO FIGURE OUT HOW TO APPLY FOR A MINI-GRANT TO ASSISTANCE YOUR TEAM ' S OCCASION. ONE POINT I ' M WAITING FOR WITH BAITED BREATH IS THE SUGGESTION FROM OUR SESQUICENTENNIAL FORMALITY COMMISSION ABOUT INDIVIDUAL IN OUR HISTORY WE INTEND TO HONOR DURING THIS SPECIAL YEAR. YOU HEARD FROM ANDRE VANN BRIEFLY. WE HAD A SCULPTURE COME DOWN IN DURHAM NOT LONG AGO. WHO IN OUR HISTORY DO WE INTEND TO HONOR INSTEAD? BELOW, THEN, IS THE STATE OF OUR CITY IN THIS, OUR 150TH YEAR: WE ARE A WELCOMING CITY, A DIVERSE CITY, AND A PROSPEROUS CITY FIGURED OUT THAT OUR SUCCESS BE SHARED, A CITY TESTED TO GENUINELY LIVE UP TO OUR CREED, TO OUR BELIEF THAT WE CAN BE A PROGRESSIVE SIGN FOR THE SOUTH AND THE NATION. WHEN I BELIEVE CONCERNING THE WORLD WE WANT TO CONSTRUCT, I AM DRAWN TO A RHYME COMPOSED THROUGHOUT THE LADIES ' S SUFFRAGE MOTION, THEN BECAME A TUNE SUNG BY THE IMMIGRANT WOMEN THAT LED THE FANTASTIC LAWRENCE TEXTILE STRIKE OF 1912. IT GOES LIKE THIS: [SINGING] AS WE GO MARCHING, MARCHING, IN THE BEAUTY OF THE DAY A MILLION DARKENED KITCHEN AREAS, A THOUSAND MILL LOFTS GRAY ARE TOUCHED WITH ALL THE GLOW THAT An UNEXPECTED SUN DISCLOSES FOR IT IS BREAD WE BATTLE FOR, BREAD AND ROSES, BREAD AND ROSES.
