[GIGGLING] THEREFORE I WISH YOU ' LL LINGER FOR THAT AND AFTER THAT AFTER THAT WE ' LL BE TAKING A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK TO ENSURE THAT WE CONTAINER OBTAIN GOTTEN READY FOR THE NEXT COMPONENT OF OUR MEETING.I INTEND TO WELCOME EVERY ONE OF YOU HERE TONIGHT AND LIKEWISE THOSE VIEWING BELOW TONIGHT TO THIS CONFERENCE OF THE DURHAM CITY COUNCIL AND TO THIS STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS. ONE YEAR AGO, AS THE NEW MAYOR OF THIS EXCELLENT CITY, I STATED IN THESE CHAMBERS THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAD COLLABORATE TO BUILD A COMMON VISION OF OUR FUTURE, AND BELOW IS THAT VISION: WE, INDIVIDUALS OF DURHAM, ENVISION A PROSPEROUS, INNOVATIVE, GREEN, AND WELCOMING CITY THAT FLOURISHES ON DIVERSITY AND DIFFERENCE, A CITY THAT PUTS RACIAL AND FINANCIAL JUSTICE ON TOP OF OUR CIVIC SCHEDULE, THAT DEFENDS THE VULNERABLE AMONGST US, THAT VALUES ROBUST, CONSIDERATE DISCUSSION ON DIFFICULT INQUIRIES, THAT ACCEPTS NON-VIOLENCE, THAT EMBODIES THE IDEA THAT ALL RESIDENTS 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 RELY ON THAT VISION WITH ALL MY HEART, AND I WISH TO TALK ABOUT IT TO NEED AND WHAT I THINK IT INDICATES, BUT FIRST I INTEND TO INFORM YOU A STORY.IT STARTS
IN 1889, IN A LITTLE SHTETL, A LITTLE TOWN IN WHAT IS NOW LITHUANIA, THEN COMPONENT OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE. THE LITTLE COMMUNITY WAS CALLED LINKUVA, AND THERE LIVED ELIAS AND BLUMA SCHEWEL ELIAS WAS A YESHIVAH BOCHER, A PUPIL OF THE RABBINICAL TRAININGS. IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, JEWS WERE DISALLOWED FROM HAVING LAND OR FARMING, BARRED AS WELL FROM THE OCCUPATIONS AND FROM THE COLLEGES. THEY WERE CONFINED TO LIVING IN A CERTAIN COMPONENT OF THE RUSSIAN REALM CALLED THE PALE OF SETTLEMENT.
THEY WERE THE TARGETS OF FREQUENT POGROMS, FIERCE RIOTS TYPICALLY FOLLOWING EASTER. ELIAS SCHEWEL, MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER, LEFT THIS ANTI-SEMITIC RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION AHEAD TO THIS NATION, CROSSING THE ATLANTIC ALONE AND SHOWING UP IN BALTIMORE IN WHICH HE WAS MET BY An AGENT OF THE HEBREW IMMIGRANT HELP SOCIETY THAT TOLD HIM THAT A MALE WITH HIS SKILLS AS A SHOCHET, A KOSHER BUTCHER, WAS NEEDED TO CUT MEAT FOR THE SMALL JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD IN LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA. ELIAS RELOCATED TO LYNCHBURG AND YOU CONTAINER IMAGINE HOW SMALL THAT JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD WAS, AND SIX MONTHS LATER SENT FOR BLUMA AND THE CHILDREN TO SIGN UP WITH HIM. BLUMA'' S BABY CHILD WAS MY GRANDPA ABRAHAM, AND I VISUALIZE HER SIGNING UP WITH A TEAM OF TRAVELERS – SOME MIGHT CALL IT A CARAVAN – TAKING A TRIP OVERLAND TO THE PORT OF RIGA. WITH HER KIDS SHE BOARDED A SHIP AND SAILED FOR THE NEW GLOBE TO JOIN HER HUSBAND WHERE THEY BUILT A LIFE WITH EACH OTHER ON THE EDGE OF THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS.ELIAS AND BLUMA WERE MEMBERS OF A DESPISED MINORITY RUNNING AWAY OPPRESSION. THEY WERE EVACUEES, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WITH FEW SKILLS AND NO ENGLISH AT ALL, BUT THEY FANTASIZED OF A BETTER LIFE AND THEY COLLECTION OUT AGAINST ALL PROBABILITY TO DISCOVER IT RIGHT HERE ON THESE WELCOMING SHORES. THIS COULD NOT HAPPEN TODAY. IN DURHAM, THE FLOW OF REFUGEES HAS REDUCED TO A TRICKLE BECAUSE OF THE PLANS OF THE TRUMP MANAGEMENT. AN IMMIGRANT RUNNING AWAY MISTREATMENT, ARRIVING UNANNOUNCED IN BALTIMORE HARBOR, WOULD BE TURNED AWAY WITHOUT A RESERVATION. LAST YEAR RIGHT NOW, I RECOGNIZED THE FAMILY MEMBERS AND FANS OF 2 GUY IN SHELTER IN DURHAM CHURCHES.THIS YEAR ONE OF THOSE MALES IS NO LONGER WITH United States HERE IN DURHAM.
SAMUEL OLIVER-BRUNO, A VALUABLE PARTICIPANT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WAS DREW OUT OF SHELTER TO SIGN IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTS, THEN SEIZED UP VIOLENTLY BY ICE AND DEPORTED. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY THAT WE DEPORT HARD-WORKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING AMONGST United States AS OUR GOOD FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, THAT WE POWERFULLY SEPARATE FAMILY MEMBERS, THAT ALSO PEOPLE WITH FILES ARE DRIVEN UNDERGROUND IN ANXIETY? RECENTLY, I ORGANIZED SEVEN NORTH CAROLINA MAYORS TO INDICATION A LETTER OPPOSING THE CURRENT ICE RAIDS TO BRUSH UP OUR CITIES. BUT ALSO FOR OUR REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT CLOSE FRIENDS STAYING IN DURHAM, IT ISN ' T THE OBJECTION I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT TODAY. WHAT I DESIRE TO EMPHASIZE 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 RECEIVING 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 SHERIFF, CLARENCE BIRKHEAD, FOR ENDING ICE DETAINERS IN THE PRISON. [PRAISE] FURTHERMORE, I ' M SO PLEASED THAT OUR COPS CHIEF, CJ DAVIS, HAS SIGNIFICANTLY BROADENED THE CITY ' S U-VISA ACCREDITATIONS OVER THE PAST YEAR. THESE CERTIFICATIONS ARE APPROVED TO UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE THAT HELP OUR AUTHORITIES RESOLVE CRIMINAL OFFENSES. IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY THAT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY OBSERVED CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES BE ABLE TO TRUST THE POLICE SUFFICIENT TO COME OUT OF THE DARKNESS TO REPORT THOSE CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. U-VISAS ARE DEVELOPED TO CONSTRUCT THAT DEPEND ON. IN 2018, OUR POLICE DIVISION LICENSED 144 INDIVIDUALS TO BE ELIGIBLE TO OBTAIN A U-VISA AND REMAIN IN THIS NATION IN
INCENTIVE FOR THEIR PAYMENT TO OUR COMMON SECURITY, MUCH EVEN MORE THAN IN THE PAST. PRIMARY DAVIS BEGAN THE PROGRAM WITH A FOUR-YEAR LOOK-BACK, BUT TONIGHT, WITH HER CONSENT, I AM INTRODUCING THAT ANY UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO SOLVING A CRIME IN DURHAM SINCE 2011, WILL CERTAINLY BE ELIGIBLE FOR FACTOR TO CONSIDER FOR U-VISA QUALIFICATION. THANK YOU, CHIEF DAVIS, FOR THIS– [PRAISE] THANK YOU, CHIEF DAVIS, FOR THIS PLAN MODIFICATION THAT IS BOTH GENTLE AND An EXCELLENT WAY TO ELIMINATE FIERCE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN DURHAM. THANK YOU TO COUNCIL PARTICIPANT JAVIERA CABALLERO AND TO PUBLIC MATTERS DIRECTOR BEVERLY THOMPSON FOR YOUR DEAL WITH THE CITY ' S LANGUAGE ACCESSIBILITIES STRATEGY SO THAT WE CONTAINER ENSURE EVERYONE CANISTER TAKE BENEFIT OF ALL CITY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO OFFER. EVERY ONE OF YOU CONSTRUCTED BELOW TODAY REVEL, AS I DO, IN DURHAM ' S VARIETY. HERE IS THE CONCERN: AS NEW PEOPLE PUT INTO DURHAM, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL? IN 2015 IN MY STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, I OUTLINED A BROAD SCHEDULE FOR ACTION. I TAKE PRIDE IN THE
PROGRESSION WE ARE MAKING ON LOTS OF FRONTS, BUT AFTER I REPORT TO YOU CURRENTLY ON THAT PROGRESS, I WILL BE ASKING YOU TONIGHT-OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY -TO COME TOGETHER TO TAKE A STRONG STEP TO PROTECT OUR COMMON FUTURE. THOUGH, I DESIRED TO REPORT TO YOU ON CRIME AND POLICING. WHEN IT CONCERNS POLICING, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO TWO POINTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. WE HAVE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEAL WITH FIERCE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AT THE VERY SAME TIME THAT WE SUCCESS THE TRUST OF
COMMUNITIES. THESE TWO OBJECTIVES ARE DEEPLY INTERTWINED. WE CONTAINER ' T DO ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. WE UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY GUNSHOT INJURY SLITS An OPENING NOT JUST IN A VICTIM, BUT ALSO IN A FAMILY MEMBERS, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. I READ THE AUTHORITIES VIEW REPORTS EVERYDAY, AND DAILY BRINGS WITH IT A VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. WE CONTAINER NOT LET THAT STAND. OF ALL THE CRIMES VISITED UPON United States BY OUR STATE LEGISLATURE, THE A LOT OF HARMFUL IN MY MIND IS THEIR PROHIBITION ON ANY COMMON-SENSE WEAPON CONTROL. THIS SUGGESTS WE NEED TO USAGE EVERY OTHER SOURCE AT OUR COMMAND. ALLOW ME TELL YOU HOW, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF CHIEF DAVIS, WE ARE TRANSFORMING THE SOCIETY AND METHOD OF POLICING IN DURHAM TO WIN THE TRUST FUND OF OUR COMMUNITY.IT STARTS WITH TRAINING. EVERY ONE OF OUR OFFICERS NOW RECEIVE ANNUAL TRAINING IN RACIAL EQUITY, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND DE-ESCALATION. FORTY-FIVE PERCENT OF OUR PATROL ADMINISTRATION HAVE RECEIVED PROGRESSED SITUATION INTERVENTION TRAINING, AND START IN THE LOSS OF 2019, EVERY NEW OFFICER WHO ENTERS THE DIVISION WILL CERTAINLY OBTAIN THIS PROGRESSED TRAINING. TO ASSISTANCE THIS SITUATION INTERVENTION WORK, THE AUTHORITIES DEPARTMENT NOW HAS A STAFF MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGIST THAT HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN RESPONDING PROMPTLY TO THE VARIOUS PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH CRISES THAT OUR ADMINISTRATION EXPERIENCE DAILY. IN MANY OTHER WAYS, WE ARE GOING THROUGH A REMARKABLE CHANGE IN THE METHOD DURHAM IS ENGAGING IN POLICE FUNCTION. WEB TRAFFIC DROPS IN RECENT YEARS HAVE GONE DOWN BY TWO-THIRDS. SEARCHES OF VEHICLES HAVE BEEN HALVE, AS HAVE COSTS FOR DRUG OFFENSES. OUR NEW VIOLATION DIVERSION COURT HAS KEPT HUNDREDS OF FIRST-TIME OFFENDERS WITHOUT A CRIMINAL RECORD. THESE REFORMS ARE TODAY MAKING A POSITIVE DISTINCTION IN THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR. BUT RIGHT HERE ' S AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY: ARE THESE REFORMS SIMPLY LEADING TO MORE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY? WELL, LISTEN TO THE NUMBERS AND YOU TIN COURT ON YOUR OWN. CRIME IN DURHAM IS ON AN 18-YEAR DOWNWARD PATTERN. PARTICULARLY, 2018, SAW A STRIKING DECLINE
IN CRIME. EVERY SINGLE TIME A PERSON IS SHOT WITH A GUN, IT IS A TRAGEDY, AND IN 2017, 244 INDIVIDUALS IN DURHAM WERE SHOT. IN 2018, THIS FELL BY 16%TO 204 PEOPLE. THIS IS An IMPRESSIVE DECREASE THAT AFFECTS LIVES. IN ALL, VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES IN WHICH A GUN WAS USED, INCLUDING ROBBERIES AND AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS, DECREASED BY 20%IN 2018. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY REMAINED TO DECLINE, TO ITS LOWEST LEVEL IN 23 YEARS.FRANKLY, IT ' S EXTREMELY UNLIKELY THAT WE CAN REPEAT THESE AMAZING LEAD TO 2019. BUT THE FAD IN DURHAM IS CLEAR. TRUST FUND IS UP, AND CRIME IS DOWN. SO TONIGHT, I WISHED TO RECOGNIZE SEVERAL OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT THAT DO THIS CRITICAL WORK. FIRST, I WANT TO PRESENT OFFICER MICHAEL SAPOSNICK. SIR, COULD YOU PLEASE STAND? WELCOME.
IN DECEMBER OF 2018, POLICE OFFICER SAPOSNICK SHOWED UP ON THE SCENE OF A TRAFFIC MISHAP AT THE EDGE OF ALSTON AVENUE AND HOLLOWAY STREET. WHEN POLICE OFFICER SAPOSNICK GOT HERE ON SCENE, IT WAS EVIDENT THE CHAUFFEUR OF AMONG THE AUTOMOBILES HAD CONTINUAL LETHAL INJURIES AND WAS NOT AWARE OR BREATHING. POLICEMAN SAPOSNICK IMMEDIATELY DELVED INTO ACTION, REMOVING THE VICTIM FROM THE LORRY AND STARTING CHEST COMPRESSIONS ━ RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF A STRESSFUL SCENE WITH BYSTANDERS AND LORRIES AROUND. POLICE OFFICER SAPOSNICK, FOR YOUR DEFINITIVE ACTIONS THAT CONSERVED THIS MALE ' S LIFE, WE SALUTE YOU. [PRAISE]
COULD POLICEMAN JOHN WAGSTAFF PLEASE CLIMB? POLICE OFFICER JOHN WAGSTAFF HAS DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF BY CONTINUOUSLY DEMONSTRATING HIS COMMITMENT TO THE POLICE DIVISION ' S DILEMMA TREATMENT MISSION. LOTS OF TIMES, POLICEMAN WAGSTAFF GOES ABOVE AND PAST THE PHONE CALL OF OBLIGATION TO GET THOSE IN MENTAL WELLNESS SITUATION THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS THEY NEEDED. FOR SETTING BENCH FOR OUR COPS DEPARTMENT ' S CRISIS INTERVENTION WORK, OFFICER WAGSTAFF, WE SALUTE YOU. [PRAISE] COULD CAPTAIN MARIANNE BOND, SERGEANT JESSICA BUTLER, CORPORAL KIMBERLY DE LA CRUZ, POLICEMAN CHARLES STRICKLAND AND POLICE OFFICER DEWITT GRAHAM PLEASE STAND? WELCOME. THESE ADMINISTRATION WERE AMONGST 18 DURHAM OFFICERS THAT SPENT A WEEK IN'WILMINGTON FOLLOWING TYPHOON FLORENCE ASSISTING THE WILMINGTON COMMUNITY FOLLOWING THAT NATURAL CALAMITY. THAT ' S THE DURHAM METHOD. THANKS FOR OFFERING THE PEOPLE OF THE SHORES AND FOR REPRESENTING THE CITY OF DURHAM SO WELL. [PRAISE] WHATEVER WE DO ABOUT WEAPON VIOLENCE AND CRIMINAL OFFENSE, WE AREN ' T GOING TO RESOLVE IT WITHOUT ACCESSING ORIGIN. WE WILL CERTAINLY LASTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR REAL ONLY WHEN EVERYBODY HAS GREAT HEALTHCARE, A WARM, DRY AFFORDABLE HOME TO'REST IN EVERY NIGHT, AND A GREAT INSTITUTION. A GREAT SCHOOL. THE 33,000 TRAINEES IN DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY ARE OUR CITY ' S FUTURE, AND WE DEMAND SCHOOLS WHERE EVERY CHILD CONTAINER FLOURISH. MY 2 BOY FLOURISHED IN DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND MY COMMON COUNCIL ASSOCIATES: JILLIAN JOHNSON, CHARLIE REECE AND JAVIERA CABALLERO HAVE KIDS PARTICIPATING IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY. I THINK THAT OF THE MANY IMPORTANT POINTS DURHAM RESIDENTS CANISTER DO FOR OUR SHARED FUTURE IS SEND OUR YOUNGSTERS TO INSTITUTION TOGETHER IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. LAST YEAR DURING MY STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, I PROMPTED YOUNG PARENTS TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS YEAR, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE NEWLY CREATED DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOL STRUCTURE, I ' M MAKING AN DEAL TO AID; AND ALL OF THE COLLEGE BOARD MEMBERS, AREA COMMISSIONERS, AND COMMON COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH KIDS IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO ASSIST TOO. BELOW ' S OUR OFFER: IF YOU TIN OBTAIN TOGETHER A GROUP OF FIVE OR MORE PARENTS WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE A DECISION WHERE TO SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO INSTITUTION IN DURHAM, I OR ANOTHER PERSON ELECTED AUTHORITIES WITH KIDS IN THE COLLEGES WILL GO TO YOUR HOME FOR A CONVERSATION REGARDING DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND INFORM YOU CONCERNING WHAT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN OFFER YOUR FAMILY. TO ROUTINE A MEETING WITH United States, BROWSE THROUGH BULLCITYSCHOOLS.ORG, AND THE DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS STRUCTURE'WILL HOOK YOU UP. I EAGERLY ANTICIPATE GOING TO WITH YOU IF YOU ARE INTERESTED TO THINKING OF DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR YOUR KIDS. SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND BATTLE FOR THEM! FIGHT FOR THEM! ON LOTS NIGHTS WHEN I LEAVE TOWN HALL AT NIGHTS, OFTEN AT 6:30 OR 7:00, I SEE TEAMS OF PEOPLE CONFERENCE IN OUR MEETING ROOM, THE DEVOTED MEMBERS OF OUR
VOLUNTEER COMPENSATIONS, AND RECENTLY, TOO, THE DEDICATED PARTICIPANTS IN OUR BIG, SPRAWLING CAMPAIGN IN GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY CALLED PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING. BELOW IS MY FORECAST: WHEN THIS YEAR IS OVER, WE WILL CERTAINLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY THAT DURHAM HAS DEVELOPED THE IDEAL INITIATIVE IN DIRECT FREEDOM OF ANY CITY IN THE COUNTRY. THE COUNCIL HAS RESERVE $2.4 MILLION TO BE SPENT ON PROJECTS CHOSEN STRAIGHT BY OUR LOCALS. 550 CONCEPTS WERE SENT, THE BULK BY INDIVIDUALS OF SHADE, AND CURRENTLY CITY PERSONNEL AND 100 VOLUNTEER BUDGET DELEGATES ARE VETTING THESE PROJECTS AND FLESHING OUT SOME 50 FULL-PROJECT PROPOSALS WITH IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTIONS AND BUDGET PLANS TO PUT PRIOR TO THE CITIZENS. SEVERAL OF THE PROJECTS STILL IN THE RUNNING INCLUDE BUS SHELTERS, CROSSWALKS, LITTLE HOMES, AND PARK RENOVATIONS, AND THE BUDGET DELEGATES ARE FOCUSING ON THOSE JOBS WHICH ADVANTAGE OUR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. STARTING ON MIGHT 1, AND RUNNING THAT ENTIRE MONTH, I PROMPT ALL RESIDENTS AND STUDENTS WHO GO TO LEAST 13 YEARS OLD TO ELECT THE JOBS YOU WISHED TO SEE FUNDED. VOTING WILL CERTAINLY TAKE LOCATION ONLINE OR AT IN-PERSON VOTING SITES BEING SET UP THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING STEERING BOARD HAS SET AN AMBITIOUS TARGET OF NEARLY 10,000 CITIZENS, AND I REALLY HOPE WE CANISTER EXCEED THAT NUMBER. WITH ELECTING WEBSITES DEVELOPED, WITH COMMITTED CITY STAFF ASSOCIATED WITH OUTREACH, WITH BUDGET DELEGATES DEVOTED TO ENDING UP VOTES, I KNOW WE CAN DO DIRECT GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY BETTER THAN ANYPLACE ELSE IN AMERICA. I ESPECIALLY DESIRED TO THANK MAYOR PRO TEM JILLIAN JOHNSON FOR HER PERSISTENT CAMPAIGNING FOR OF PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND HER MANAGEMENT OF THE PROCESS, AS WELL AS OUR FABULOUS SPENDING PLAN SUPERVISOR, BERTHA JOHNSON, FOR ACCEPTING PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND DRIVING US TO ACCOMPLISH IT WELL. THIS IS METHOD OUTSIDE THE USUAL EXTENT OF HELP A BUDGET DIRECTOR, ISN ' T IT, BERTHA? [GIGGLING]
. WHILE I ANTICIPATE THAT OUR FUNCTION IN DIRECT DEMOCRACY WILL LEAD THE COUNTRY, I INTENDED TO TURN CURRENTLY TO AN AREA WHERE WE ARE ALREADY DOING THE VERY BEST WORK OF ANY PERSON, WHERE INDIVIDUALS ARE AIMING TO REPLICATE THE INCREDIBLE FUNCTION WE ARE DOING. WORK DONE BY OUR I-TEAM. MAKING THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL, SUGGESTS MAKING THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY OF 2ND OPPORTUNITIES. I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS SINCE IT HAS BEEN THE LIFE ' S WORK OF MY BETTER HALF, LAO RUBERT, SO WE SPEAK ABOUT IT OVER THE KITCHEN AREA TABLE EVERY NIGHT. FOR FOR ABOUT THE LAST 45 YEARS– AND THEY ' VE BEEN AWESOME YEARS. [LAUGHTER] WE ALL'HAVE An OBLIGATION IN THIS FUNCTION. IF YOU ARE AN COMPANY, WE NEED YOU TO RESTRICTION PACKAGE AND EMPLOY MORE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE CRIMINAL HISTORIES. IF YOU ARE A PROPRIETOR, WE NEED YOU TO BE READY TO RENT TO INDIVIDUALS WITH CRIMINAL BACKGROUNDS. IF OUR NEIGHBORS CAN NOT LOCATE FUNCTION AND TIN NOT FIND HOUSING, HOW CANISTER WE EVER END UP BEING THE CITY WE WISH TO BE? I AM PLEASED TONIGHT TO SHARE 3 EXAMPLES OF THE WAY OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS TAKING SERIOUSLY OUR OWN DUTY TO MAKE DURHAM A CITY OF SECOND OPPORTUNITIES. THE FIRST IS THE DURHAM EXPUNCTION AND REMEDIATION PROGRAM, REFERRED TO TYPICALLY AS BELOVED. THE CITY SPENT$250,000 THIS SUMMERTIME TO PRODUCE BELOVED, WHICH PURPOSES TO GET RID OF OBSTACLES TO WORK AND REAL ESTATE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE JUSTICE ENTAILED. HAVING A RAP SHEET OR A SUSPENDED VEHICLE DRIVER PERMIT MAKES IT MUCH MORE CHALLENGING FOR HOMEOWNERS TO FIND WORK AND HOUSING AND TO SHARE IN DURHAM ' S SUCCESS. THESE ISSUES IMPACT 10S OF THOUSANDS OF DURHAM LOCALS. PARTICULARLY, OVER 50,000 OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE A SUSPENDED CHAUFFEUR ' S PERMIT. THERE ARE ONLY 350,000 WHO STAY IN DURHAM. VEHICLE DRIVER ' S CERTIFICATE- THE MAJORITY OF FOR SMALL TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS NOT INCLUDING DRUNK DRIVINGS. OVER 100,000 OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE A COST OR CONVICTION ON THEIR CRIMINAL DOCUMENT ELIGIBLE FOR EXPUNGEMENT THAT STILL APPEARS ON BACKGROUND CHECKS WHENEVER THEY MAKE AN APPLICATION FOR A JOB OR MOST LIKELY TO RENTAL FEE AN HOME. AND TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS A RACIAL JUSTICE CONCERN, 80 % OF THEM ARE INDIVIDUALS OF COLOR. PRIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF BELOVED, OUR COMMUNITY WAS ABLE TO OFFER FREE LEGAL HELP FOR DRIVER CERTIFICATE RECONSTRUCTION OR EXPUNGEMENTS ONLY TO SEVERAL HUNDRED LOCALS ANNUALLY. CONSEQUENTLY, THOUSANDS THAT LIVE IN LOW-INCOME HOUSES -MOSTLY BLACK AND LATINX NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS– EXPERIENCE EVEN WORSE EFFECTS FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME THAN OTHERS THAT ARE BILLED WITH SIMILAR OFFENSES. HOW MUCH LONGER? THERE MORE THAN 11,000 INDIVIDUALS IN DURHAM WITH A PUT ON HOLD LICENSE AS A RESULT OF UNPAID WEBSITE TRAFFIC TICKETS THAT ARE, GENERALLY, 16 YEARS OF AGES. THAT IS NOT AND CAN NOT BE JUSTICE. WE REQUIREMENT DO EVEN MORE TO GUARANTEE THAT THE LEGAL ALLEVIATION GAVE UNDER LEGISLATION IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS, NOT SIMPLY THOSE WHO CONTAINER AFFORD A PRIVATE ATTORNEY. THE BELOVED PROGRAM IS DOING JUST THAT. AS A RESULT OF BELOVED, ANY PERSON IN DURHAM CANISTER GO TO OUR COURTHOUSE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND CONSULT WITH A FREE LAWYER TO REMOVE CRIMINAL COSTS OR TO RECOVER THEIR DRIVING PRIVILEGES. AS An OUTCOME OF PRECIOUS, AND THIS IS GENUINELY WORTHY OF OUR PARTY,– SO PLEASED TO SAY THIS– OVER 50,000 OLD WEB TRAFFIC COSTS DATING BACK TO THE 1980S BUT STILL LEADING TO DRIVER ' S CERTIFICATE SUSPENSIONS HAVE BEEN DISMISSED. 50,000 FEES DISMISSED FOR 35,000 PEOPLE! I ' M SO PLEASED OF THAT. [PRAISE] ALONG WITH ACQUIRING THESE CHARGES DISREGARDED, THE PROGRAM IS WORKING NOW TO WAIVE FINES AND COSTS FOR 15,000 OLD TRAFFIC TICKETS THAT GET ON AVERAGE 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 EXACT SAME KIND OF SUCCESS WITH EXPUNGEMENT AS WE ARE SEEING WITH MOTORIST ' S LICENSE REPAIR. ALLOW ME TO SAY THAT OUR BELOVED WORK IS ALSO ENTIRELY REGULAR WITH HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. EVERYONE WHO IS BENEFITING FROM THE PRECIOUS PROGRAM HAS PAID A VERY HIGH PRICE. THEY HAVE LOST THEIR CERTIFICATE FOR AT THE VERY LEAST 2 YEARS OR THEY HAVE SERVED TIME IN JAIL. TO BE'A CITY OF SECONDLY CHANCES, THERE REQUIREMENT BE AN EXPIRATION DAY ON WHAT IT SUGGESTS TO HOLD SOMEONE ACCOUNTABLE.'[ APPLAUSE] ULTIMATELY, AS RELATED TO DEAR, LET ME SAY THIS IS A STORY ABOUT HOW WE ARE MUCH BETTER WITH EACH OTHER. THE EARLY AND INCREDIBLE SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM IS ONLY FEASIBLE BECAUSE OF A VIBRANT PARTNERSHIP. IT IS ONLY POSSIBLE– AND PLEASE RISE IF YOU ARE RIGHT HERE– SINCE OF OUR AREA ATTORNEY ' S WORKPLACE INCLUDING OUR FORMER DA ROGER ECHOLS, CURRENT DA SATANA DEBERRY, AND ADA DALE MORRILL; OUR JUDGES INCLUDING COURT AMANDA MARIS, JOSEPHINE KERR DAVIS, SHAMIEKA RHINEHART, AND RUB EVANS; OUR PUBLIC DEFENDER ' S WORKPLACE; OUR CLERK ' S WORKPLACE INCLUDING OUR CLERK OF COURTS ARCHIE SMITH, ASHLEY CROOM, AND MALISA HOPKINS; DANIEL BOWES FROM THE NC JUSTICE FACILITY; GINA REYMAN FROM LEGAL HELP OF NC; OUR PRECIOUS TEAM OF
ATTORNEYS AND PERSONNEL: ARNETTA HERRING, LAURA HOLLAND, JOSEPH LAIZURE, HENRY RIVA-PALACIO AND LAUREN ROBBINS-REPRESENTING THE CITY LAWYER ' S WORKPLACE, NC JUSTICE FACILITY, AND LEGAL HELP; THE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE COMMISSION AND NC FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD RESOURCE FACILITY; NCCU AND DUKE LAW INSTITUTIONS; JOSHUA MCINTYRE AND THE DURHAM BAR ASSOCIATION; THE GEORGE H.WHITE BAR; THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SOURCE CENTER; ALEX WILLIAMS AND MEMBERS OF EVERYONE OR NONE; DAN REARICK AND TRAINEES FROM CODE THE DREAM; VOLUNTEERS FROM CODE FOR DURHAM; AND OUR CITY ' S TECHNOLOGY TEAM: ERIN PARISH, CHUCK MANNING, DARIN JOHNSON, AND SHANNON DELANEY, AND THE DRIVEN, BRILLIANT LEADER OF THE BELOVED'PROGRAM WHO HAS BROUGHT ALL THIS TOGETHER, RYAN SMITH. [APPLAUSE] IF YOU WISHED TO KNOW WHAT”BETTER WITH EACH OTHER”RESEMBLES, APPEARANCE NO FURTHER. THANKS ALL SOMUC. [PRAISE] ANOTHER METHOD THE CITY IS DEMONSTRATING ITS COMMITMENT TO MAKE DURHAM A CITY OF SECONDLY CHANCES IS HOW WE RATE INDIVIDUALS BACK HOME WHO HAVE OFFERED TIME IN OUR PRISONS.
AND SO I HOPE YOU ' LL STICK AROUND FOR THAT AND AFTER THAT AFTER THAT WE ' LL BE TAKING A FIVE-MINUTE BREAK SO THAT WE CANISTER GET PREPARED FOR THE NEXT PART OF OUR MEETING.I WANT TO WELCOME ALL OF YOU HERE TONITE AND ALSO THOSE WATCHING BELOW TONIGHT TO THIS MEETING OF THE DURHAM CITY COUNCIL AND TO THIS STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS. FOR OUR REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT FRIENDS LIVING IN DURHAM, IT ISN ' T THE OBJECTION I DESIRE TO HIGHLIGHT TODAY. THAT ' S THE DURHAM WAY. THE 33,000 STUDENTS IN DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY ARE OUR CITY ' S FUTURE, AND WE DEMAND SCHOOLS IN WHICH EVERY CHILD CAN FLOURISH. BELOW ' S OUR DEAL: IF YOU TIN OBTAIN WITH EACH OTHER A TEAM OF 5 OR MORE MOMS AND DADS THAT ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHERE TO SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO COLLEGE IN DURHAM, I OR ANOTHER PERSON ELECTED AUTHORITIES WITH KIDS IN THE COLLEGES WILL SEE YOUR HOME FOR A CONVERSATION ABOUT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND INFORM YOU REGARDING WHAT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS CONTAINER DEAL YOUR FAMILY.THESE PEOPLE WILL EITHER ACHIEVE SUCCESS REINTEGRATING INTO OUR CITY OR WE WILL ALL BE THEM DO IT.O WE DEMAND TO ASSIST – 700 INDIVIDUALS COME BACK HOME TO DURHAM ANNUALLY FROM JAIL. AND AS PART OF NEW PROGRAM WE ARE AVIATION, I HAVE STARTED WRITING LETTERS TO EVERY OF OUR RESIDENTS RETURNING FROM JAIL TO WELCOME THEM BACK HOME.
“REENTRY IS HARD,” I SHARE, “BUT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.” THE LETTERS ARE JUST ONE PART OF A LARGER PROGRAM CALLED WELCOME HOME CREATED BY OUR CITY'' S INNOVATION GROUP IN COLLABORATION WITH DURHAM'' S LOCAL REENTRY COUNCIL. IN NOVEMBER, THE PROGRAM STARTED WELCOMING BACK CITIZENS RETURNING HOME FROM 3 CLOSE-BY JAILS. THE CITY GIVES RETURNING HOMEOWNERS WITH TREATMENT PLANS THAT CONSIST OF FOOD, CLOTHING, BUS PASSES AND VARIOUS OTHER FUNDAMENTAL NECESSITIES. WE HAVE ALSO EMPLOYED 2 PEER ASSISTANCE SPECIALISTS WHO HAVE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF REENTRY AND WHO FUNCTION ONE-ON-ONE WITH OUR RETURNING RESIDENTS TO GIVE A TRUSTED RESOURCE OF SUPPORT AND MENTORSHIP AND TO AID CONNECT THEM MORE QUICKLY TO RESOURCES AT OUR RESIDENT REENTRY COUNCIL. WE ARE BEGINNING TO OBTAIN DEDICATIONS FROM BELIEF AREAS AND VARIOUS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO OFFER AN CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF WELCOME HOME TREATMENT PACKAGES. SO IF YOU BELONG TO AN COMPANY THINKING ABOUT WELCOMING BACK OUR RETURNING RESIDENTS BY OFFERING WELCOME HOME CARE PACKAGES, WE NEED YOU TO BE IN TOUCH WITH OUR I-TEAM. TONITE IT IS MY PLEASURE TO RECOGNIZE REGINALD MUMFORD, THE– I HE BELOW? PLEASE STAND– EXTREMELY FIRST INDIVIDUAL IN THE WELCOME HOME PROGRAM.
MR. MUMFORD, PLEASE STAND. [PRAISE] WELCOME HOME, SIR! >> > > MANY THANKS >>. > > IN ANOTHER PERSON EFFORT TO OFFER INDIVIDUALS A 2ND CHANCE, THIS APRIL, THE CITY WILL PILOT A NEW TRANSITIONAL WORK PROGRAM. THESE JOBS ARE ESPECIALLY PLANNED FOR RETURNING CITIZENS AND ARE MADE TO BUILD JOB READINESS WHILE OFFERING WRAP-AROUND and employment SERVICES. THIS PROGRAM WILL TRY TO SUPPLY A BRIDGE TO LASTING EMPLOYMENT. OUR CITY WILL FUNCTION TO ACT AS A DESIGN FOR VARIOUS OTHER EMPLOYERS TO COMPLY WITH. AND AFTER OUR FIRST FRIEND COMPLETES THE TRANSITIONAL JOBS PROGRAM IN SEPTEMBER, WE WILL BE LOOKING TO PRIVATE EMPLOYERS TO TIP UP AND GIVE THESE JOB-READY CANDIDATES A CHANCE.TO MAKE THE
CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL, WE REQUIREMENT END UP BEING A CITY THAT WELCOMES SECOND POSSIBILITIES. I ASK ALL OF YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT YOU CONTAINER DO TO ASSIST United States ADVANCE THIS CRUCIAL FUNCTION. PROGRESSING THE INNOVATION TEAM'' S WORK HAS REQUIRED RESOURCES, AND I WISH TO OFFER A SHOUT-OUT RIGHT HERE TO THE BLOOMBERG FOUNDATION, AN INCREDIBLE COMPANION, WHICH HAS FUNDED OUR I-TEAM, THE MAYOR'' S TRANSPORT OBSTACLE, AND A TRAINING ACCOMPLICE FOR NEW MAYORS TO WHICH I WAS INVITED THIS YEAR. I'' LL TELL YOU A SECRET: THERE WERE 40 NEW MAYORS IN THIS ASSOCIATE, AND I WAS THE EARLIEST! [GIGGLING] WHILE I AM ON THE SUBJECT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, I DESIRED TO TALK A MINUTE ABOUT THE CASH BOND SYSTEM.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT CASH BOND DEVELOPS A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IN WHICH THOSE WITH CASH HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACQUISITION THEIR FREEDOM, WHILE THOSE WITHOUT MONEY REMAIN IN JAIL, OFTEN FOR MONTHS, AWAITING THEIR DAY IN COURT. DURHAM'' S FRESHLY SWORN AREA LAWYER SATANA DEBERRY HAS SUGGESTED AN AMBITIOUS NEW PRETRIAL LAUNCH PLAN TO ELDERLY LOCAL SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE HUDSON TO BATTLE THIS INEQUITABLE SYSTEM. THE POLICY TAKES WEALTH OUT OF THE FORMULA AND EMPHASIS ON WHAT TRULY MATTERS IN DECIDING WHO GOES HOME AND THAT IS JAILED PENDING TEST: DANGER TO OUR AREA AND RISK OF TRIP. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS ACTION, AND I HOPE YOU WILL AS WELL. [APPLAUSE] WHAT I HAVE ACTUALLY DEFINED WITH THE CITY'' S POLICE REFORMS, OUR PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING AND OUR I-TEAM WORK IS A CULTURE OF INNOVATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT. TOM BONFIELD HAS ACTUALLY SIMPLY PASSED HIS TENTH ANNIVERSARY AS OUR MAYOR, AND EVERYBODY KNOWS HE SUPERVISOR– [PRAISE]– AND EVERYBODY KNOWS HE HAS DONE A SPECTACULAR JOB TAKING CARE OF OUR CITY'' S FUNDS AND SERVICES.
WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT TOM IS THAT HE URGES, NOURISHES, AND SAFEGUARDS INNOVATION, AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE SOCIETY THAT WE DO. TOM, I UNDERSTAND THAT OUR ACTIVIST COMMON COUNCIL CANISTER AT TIMES BE An OBSTACLE FOR YOU AND YOUR STAFF, [LAUGHTER] AND I REALLY VALUE THE MEANS YOU PROVIDE THE STABILITY AND FACT CHECKS WE DEMAND. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU REMAIN TO HAVE MY FULL SELF-CONFIDENCE, MY AFFECTION AND MY DAILY GRATEFULNESS. [APPLAUSE] IT IS THE CITY'' S FRONT-LINE EMPLOYEES, THOUGH, WHO MAKE OUR CITY GO.
TONIGHT, I DESIRED TO IDENTIFY 3 OF OUR PERSONNEL FOR THEIR REACTION TO THE 12-INCH SNOW WE HAD THIS PAST WINTER. MANY OF OUR PERSONNEL DID YEOMAN'' S WORK THROUGHOUT THE SNOW, BUT TONIGHT WE ARE IDENTIFYING– IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO COUNCIL MEETING'' S EVER, YOU ' LL KNOW WE REGULARLY RECORD ON THAT SORT OF WORK, BUT TONIGHT I INTEND TO RECOGNIZE DANIEL AUSTIN, NATE MARBURY AND MICHAEL NORWOOD. WILL YOU PLEASE STAND? THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] KEEP STANDING. THANK YOU. KEEPING TOWN HALL PERFORMANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR RESIDENTS, AND TWICE DURING DECEMBER, WEATHER THREATENED OUR ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. NATE MARBURY AND MICHAEL NORWOOD ARE BOTH ELECTRICIANS IN THE BASIC SOLUTIONS DIVISION, AND DANIEL AUSTIN IS THE NEWLY PROMOTED CENTERS DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR. THROUGHOUT THE SNOW, MR. MARBURY WORKED THROUGHOUT THE FREEZING NIGHT WITH DUKE ENERGY, ASSISTING IN THE REPLACEMENT OF A DAMAGED TRANSFORMER, LOCATED IN A VAULT UNDER MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT PLAZA. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER ON, WHEN THE TRANSFORMER FAILED AT THE CITY HALL ANNEX, MR.MARBURY, MR. NORWOOD, AND MR. AUSTIN DEALT WITH A BORROWED GENERATOR TO MAINTAIN TOWN HALL FUNCTIONING UNTIL THE TRANSFORMER COULD BE REPLACED AND POWER RESTORED. THANKS FOR YOUR RESOURCEFULNESS ON THOSE COLD, CHILLY EVENINGS. THANKS FOR YOUR DEVOTION TO OUR CITY. [PRAISE] I WOULD ADDITIONALLY LIKE TO ASK PERFORMING FIRE CAPTAIN JERALD WHITTINGTON, MOTORIST ANTOINE BURTON, AND FIREMEN JUAN VERDIN TO STAND. THIS PAST OCTOBER, ENGINE FIRM 6 WAS THE FIRST UNIT TO THE DEADLY FIRE THAT HAPPENED IN THE OAK CREEK VILLAGE COMMUNITY.CAPTAIN WHITTINGTON, MR. BURTON, AND MR. VERDIN SHOWED UP TO DISCOVER A ROARING BLAZE WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE TRAPPED IN A TWO-STORY APARTMENT OR CONDO. THESE FIREFIGHTERS PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO SHIELD OTHERS AS THEY COMBATED THE FIRE. BUT THAT ' S NOT ALL. THE FIREFIGHTERS UNDERSTOOD THE NEEDS AND VULNERABILITIES OF THE PEOPLE OF OAK CREEK VILLAGE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE FIRE, THEY RE-ENGAGED AND MET WITH AREA LEADERS. THEY ABSOLUTELY TOOK THEIR OUTREACH TO THE NEXT DEGREE WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD SECURITY EVENT, SMOKE DETECTOR CANVASSING, AND CONTINUED HOME SECURITY CHECKS OUT. THEIR EFFORTS SUPPLIED FOR MUCH-NEEDED HEALING, AND THEY PROCEED IN OAK CREEK VILLAGE TO NOW. WE APPLAUD THEM. [PRAISE] THE CITY COUNCIL ITSELF ONLY DIRECTLY UTILIZES THREE PEOPLE: THE MAYOR, THE CITY CLERK AND THE CITY LAWYER. DIANA SCHREIBER HAS BEEN OUR CITY STAFF FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, AND I INTEND TO THANK YOU, DIANA, FOR A WORK EFFECTIVELY DONE.
I VALUE YOUR MANAGEMENTS AND RESPONSIVENESS SO MUCH, AND YOU HAVE MY FULL FAITH AND SELF-CONFIDENCE. [APPLAUSE] AS A LOT OF YOU RECOGNIZE, OUR CITY ATTORNEY, PATRICK BAKER, IS LEAVING United States IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS TO COME TO BE THE CITY ATTORNEY IN CHARLOTTE. WE'' LL HAVE A WHOLE LOT EVEN MORE TO SAY ABOUT PATRICK IN HIS LAST CITY COUNCIL CONFERENCE IN DURHAM, BUT PERMIT ME TO SAY TONIGHT WHAT A FANTASTIC ADVANTAGE IT HAS BEEN FOR ME, PATRICK, TO COLLABORATE WITH YOU FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS. YOU HAVE MADE REALLY AMAZING SOLUTION TO OUR CITY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BOTH AS MAYOR AND AS CITY ATTORNEY. WE WISH YOU WELL, WE WILL MISS YOU, AND WE THANKS.
[APPLAUSE] NOW I WISH TO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY AND POSSIBILITY TO SHAPE THAT FUTURE RATHER THAN SIMPLY SUBMIT TO IT. THE ISSUE THAT I HEAR ABOUT DAILY IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER PERSON, THE ISSUE THAT IS ON EVERYONE'' S MIND, IS THE CONCERN OF GENTRIFICATION AND HOUSING AFFORDABILITY >>. >> > > YES, YES. > > SOMETIMES I LISTEN TO THE STATISTICS. MUCH MORE OFTEN I HEAR THE TALES. PEOPLE TELL ME REGULARLY THAT THEY CAN'' T AFFORD THEIR LEASE AND REQUIREMENT TO LEAVE THEIR MIDTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD AND MOVE FARTHER OUT. YOUNG COUPLES WITH MIDDLE CLASS TASKS CAN'' T AFFORD TO ACQUIRE A HOME IN DURHAM. OUR HOMELESS ADVOCATES AND RAPID REHOUSING PARTNERS TELL ME THEY CONTAINER'' T FIND POSITIONS FOR THEIR CLIENTS ANYMORE. HOW CANISTER THE CITY WE LOVE BE A CITY FOR ALL IF LOTS LOW-INCOME PEOPLE, PREDOMINANTLY PEOPLE OF SHADE, CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO RESIDE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THEY HAVE RESIDED IN FOR SEVERAL YEARS, EVEN YEARS? SO AS THE BULL CITY TURNS 150 THIS YEAR, WE FACE 2 FEASIBLE FUTURES, AND WE OBTAIN TO PICK BETWEEN THEM.
ONE FUTURE IS TO CONTINUE DOING ALL THE EXCELLENT WORK ON AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE THAT WE ARE DOING NOW, TO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT EVEN FROM ANOTHER LOCATION SUFFICIENT, AND TO WATCH AS OUR DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS SLIP AWAY, BECOMING EVEN LESS AFFORDABLE AND RICHER AND BRIGHTERS. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER FEASIBLE FUTURE THAT I INTEND TO SHOW YOU THIS EVENING, WHICH'' S THE FUTURE IN WHICH WE CHOOSE TO COMBAT BACK. I'' M GOING TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE STRATEGY. I'' M GOING TO TELL YOU HOW WE CONTAINER SPEND FOR IT. IT'' S GOING TO TAKE A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY AND A LOT OF YEARS. BUT I THINK THIS PARTICULAR FUTURE DESERVES DEFENDING, AND I AM BELOW TONIGHT TO ASK YOU TO COMBAT FOR IT WITH ME.WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING A LOT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING WORK. CITY FUNDS ARE SUSTAINING THE DURHAM REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY AS IT RESTORES 336 SYSTEMS AT DAMAR COURT AND MORREENE ROAD TO MAINTAIN THEM PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE. CITY FUNDS ARE SUSTAINING DHIC AND SELF-HELP IN THEIR JOINT ENDEAVOR TO DEVELOP 82 AFFORDABLE UNITS BESIDE DURHAM STATION. WE ARE SUSTAINING THE IMPROVEMENT AND IRREVERSIBLE AFFORDABILITY OF 54 SYSTEMS OWNED BY THE DURHAM AREA LAND TRUSTEES IN EAST DURHAM. WE ARE FINANCING CASA TO KEEP THE 44 DEVICES AT THE MAPLEWOOD-UNDERWOOD HOUSES COMPLETELY AFFORDABLE. WE ARE FINANCING HABITAT. WE ARE PUTTING MUCH MORE CITY DOLLARS THAN EVER INTO HOME FIX WHICH ARE CRITICAL TO AIDING LASTING, LOW-INCOME HOUSE OWNERS REMAIN IN THEIR RESIDENCE. I APPLAUD OUR AREA COMMISSIONERS FOR STEPPING UP TO FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON 2 OF THEIR DOWNTOWN VEHICLE PARKING LOTS. THERE'' S A GREAT DEAL MORE I COULD TELL YOU, BUT HERE'' S THE IMPORTANT THINGS: ALL THAT EXCELLENT FUNCTION, IT'' S NOT NEARLY SUFFICIENT.
IF WE DO THE INEXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE FUNCTION WE ARE DOING NOW, MONEYED AT THE EXACT SAME DEGREE, WE WILL NOT DRAMATICALLY ALTER THE FUTURE OF MIDTOWN AS THE DISTRICT OF UPPER MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE INDIVIDUALS WHILE PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE PRESSED TO THE MARGINS, FARTHER AND FARTHER FROM GOOD JOBS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC TRANSIT TO GET THEM TO THOSE WORK. TONIGHT, I'' M GOING TO DETAIL A TRANSFORMATIONAL PLAN, AND I'' M DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE FIRST ACTION BECAUSE PLAN IS UNDERWAY. LAST FEBRUARY, IN MY STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS, I ACKNOWLEDGED PHAIL WYNN, VICE-PRESIDENT OF DUKE COLLEGE, FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE LENDING FUND. THIS FUND WILL CERTAINLY PERMIT OUR NONPROFIT AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS TO RELOCATE SWIFTLY TO COMPLETE OUT THERE WHEN A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY COMES UP AVAILABLE FOR SALE, AND IT WILL ENABLE THE NONPROFIT TO HOLD THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FOR AS MUCH AS 5 YEARS AT An EXTREMELY LOW INTEREST RATE WHILE IT ORGANIZES A PERMANENT SUBSIDY. DR. WYNN, MY BUDDY AND A WONDERFUL CLOSE FRIEND TO DURHAM, PASSED AWAY TRAGICALLY BEFORE THIS FUNCTION COULD BE FINISHED. BUT IN HIS HONOR, OTHERS, LED BY OUR OWN KAREN LADO AND TUCKER BARTLETT OF THE SELF-HELP COOPERATIVE CREDIT UNION, GOT THE WOULD and initiatives NOT LET IT PASS AWAY.
TONIGHT, I AM SO SATISFIED TO INTRODUCE, IN HONOR OF DR. PHAIL WYNN, THE LAUNCH THIS SPRING OF THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE FINANCING MONEYED WITH PRELIMINARY FUNDING OF $10 MILLION. [APPLAUSE] ON TOP OF THE $2 MILLION IN CITY FINANCES IN THIS FUND, THE NORTH CAROLINA AREA DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE IS FINANCING $2 MILLION. FIGHT IT OUT COLLEGE IS LOANING $3 MILLION. AND OUR FINAL CAPITALIST IS SUNTRUST BANK, WHICH IS LENDING $3 MILLION AT An EXTREMELY LOW RATES OF INTEREST TO THE FUND. CANISTER I ASK THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO PLEASE STAND: KAREN LADO AND TUCKER BARTLETT; TARA KENCHEN, EXECUTIVE SUPERVISOR OF THE INITIATIVE WHO HAS BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE OF THIS EFFORT; STELFANIE WILLIAMS, THE NEW VICE HEAD OF STATE FOR DURHAM AFFAIRS AT FIGHT IT OUT WHO HAS KEPT AND STRENGTHENED ALL OF DR. WYNN'' S AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE COMMITMENTS; AND CHRIS BELL AND AUTRICE CAMPBELL-LONG OF SUNTRUST WHICH IS SETUP A CRUCIAL EXAMPLE FOR OTHER BANKS AS WE SEEK TO EXPAND THE FUND. WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO EVERY ONE OF YOU. [APPLAUSE] I MIGHT ADD THAT AUTRICE CAMPBELL-LONG IS MARRIED TO OUR SOLID WASTE SUPERVISOR DONALD LONG. IT'' S GREAT TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE POWER COUPLE IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT. [GIGGLING] OVER THE IN 2014, OUR COMMUNITY ADVANCEMENT DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN PUTTING WITH EACH OTHER A COMPREHENSIVE FIVE-YEAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PREPARE FOR OUR CITY.
THEY HAVE DONE An AMAZING WORK, AND I INTEND TO FUND THE PLAN. THE WHOLE STRATEGY. IF WE FUND THE WHOLE PLAN, RIGHT HERE IS WHAT WE CANISTER DO IN FIVE YEARS. WE CANISTER CREATE 30 ACRES OF DURHAM REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY HOME RIGHT IN THE CORE OF DOWNTOWN, AT JJ HENDERSON, OLDHAM TOWERS, LIBERTY STREET, THE HOUSING AUTHORITY WORKPLACE HOME, AND FOREST HILLS HEIGHTS, CHANGING ALL 387 OF THE AGING REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY DEVICES FOR OUR CITIZENS THAT ARE A LOT OF IN NEED AND WE CONTAINER KEEP THEM LIVING DOWNTOWN. WE WILL MAKE THOSE CHARACTERISTICS MIXED-INCOME DEVELOPMENTS, END THE REMOTE HARDSHIP OF DURHAM AUTHORITY RESIDENTS. CURRENTLY, THESE RESIDENTS ARE BIRTHING THE DUAL BURDEN OF DESTITUTION. NOT ONLY ARE THEY POOR, BUT EVERYONE IN THEIR COMMUNITY IS POOR, SO THEY HAVE NO COMMON RESOURCES TO COUNT ON. WE WILL ALTER THIS. WE WILL CERTAINLY MONEY THE REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUCT 863 NEW AFFORDABLE UNITS ON THEIR MIDTOWN FEATURES, THE MAJORITY OF THE UNITS ECONOMICAL TO A FAMILY OF FOUR WITH AN REVENUE OF $48,000 OR LESS.
PLUS, THE REAL ESTATE AUTHORITY WILL INCLUDE 405 MARKET-RATE UNITS TO PRODUCE REALLY MIXED-INCOME COMMUNITIES ON THEIR QUALITIES. AS OPPOSED TO A FUTURE WHERE WE SURRENDER MIDTOWN TO THE RICHEST PURCHASERS, WE WILL PRODUCE A MULTI-RACIAL DOWNTOWN WHERE INDIVIDUALS OF LIMITED MEANS CONTAINER LIVE, FUNCTION, AND PLAY. WE WILL CERTAINLY LIKEWISE PROTECT AGAINST BEING HOMELESS, AND WE WILL HOUSE OUR HOMELESS. AS OPPOSED TO A FUTURE OF AN INCREASING NUMBER OF HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS, WE WILL CONSTRUCT OUT OUR NEW COORDINATED ACCESS SYSTEM SO THAT THERE IS A CENTRAL FRONT DOOR TO HOMELESS SERVICES IN DURHAM THAT IS LOW BARRIER AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE 7 DAYS A WEEK. WE WILL CERTAINLY INVEST IN DIVERSION THAT AIDS INDIVIDUALS IN MOMENTS OF REAL ESTATE DILEMMA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR OWN RESOURCES. WE WILL CREATE A LANDLORD MOTIVATION PROGRAM TO URGE LANDLORDS TO HOUSE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH SECTION 8 COUPONS. WE WILL CERTAINLY BROADEN STREET OUTREACH TO ENSURE THAT SINGLE GROWNUPS RESTING OUTSIDE CANISTER OBTAIN THE RESOURCES THEY REQUIREMENT.
WE WILL CERTAINLY BROADEN OUR RAPID REHOUSING FUNDING, AND WE WILL CERTAINLY BOOST OUR SUPPLY OF LONG-TERM SUPPORTIVE HOUSING TO RESIDENCE CONSTANTLY HOMELESS PEOPLE WITH SPECIALS NEEDS. WE WILL EXPAND THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE FUNDING FUND TO AT LEAST $15 MILLION. FOR THOSE NON-PROFITS WHO USE THE DURHAM AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE FINANCE FUND TO ACQUISITION RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO KEEP IT PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE, OUR FIVE-YEAR HOUSING STRATEGY CONSISTS OF FUNDS TO OBTAIN THOSE FINANCES AS SOON AS A PLAN FOR LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY IS IN AREA. WE WILL MAKE GAP FUNDING AVAILABLE TO DEVELOPERS, INCLUDING THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE 4% TAX CREDIT SCORE TO DEVELOP AFFORDABLE SYSTEMS. WE WILL CERTAINLY DOUBLE OUR ASSISTANCE FOR SMALL-SCALE, MULTI-FAMILY PROJECTS, EITHER PRESERVATION OR NEW PROJECTS, BY OUR RESIDENT NON-PROFITS. WE WILL RAISE SUPPORT FOR AFFORDABLE SINGLE-FAMILY AND DUPLEX LEASING PROJECTS IN TARGET NEIGHBORHOODS, INCLUDING NEIGHBORHOODS IN OUR KEY BUS HALLWAYS, OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION HALLWAY, AND ALONG THE BELTLINE AND OTHER DOWNTOWN TRAILS. WE WILL INCREASE THE HOME REPAIR WORK PROGRAM TO KEEP EVEN MORE LASTING, LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS IN THEIR HOUSE. WE WILL CERTAINLY DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS TO REACH OUT TO THESE HOMEOWNERS TO SIGNIFICANTLY BOOST THE VARIETY OF INDIVIDUALS AVAILING THEMSELVES OF THE STATE HOME TAX DEBTS AND TO ENLIGHTEN THEM ABOUT DANGERS OF PREDATORY ACQUISITION AND THE ALTERNATIVES THEY CONTAINER PURSUE.WE WILL DEVELOP A
CITYWIDE DOWN-PAYMENT SUPPORT PROGRAM OFFERING$20,000 SECONDLY MORTGAGES TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME PEOPLE ACQUIRE A HOME. WE WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE OUR NEW FUNDING OF LAWYER COLLABORATING WITH LAWFUL AID TO REPRESENT RENTERS IN EVICTION CASES SO WE CONTAINER REDUCE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ' S HIGH EVICTION PRICES AND KEEP PEOPLE IN'THEIR HOUSE. WE WILL CERTAINLY DEAL WITH LOCAL LENDERS TO MAKE FINANCINGS AVAILABLE TO FAMILIES THAT NEED TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN ACCESSORY HOME UNITS. ADDING EVERYTHING UP, RIGHT HERE IS WHAT WE WILL CERTAINLY DO IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS: WE WILL CERTAINLY SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE THAN 1,800 NEW AFFORDABLE SERVICE UNITS, WITH THE WONDERFUL BULK OF THEM MIDTOWN. WE WILL CERTAINLY SUSTAIN THE PRESERVATION OF GREATER THAN 800 ECONOMICAL RENTAL DEVICES, THE MAJORITY OF OF THEM DOWNTOWN.WE WILL CERTAINLY MOVE AT LEAST 1,700 HOMELESS HOMES INTO LONG-TERM HOUSING. WE WILL PRODUCE A MINIMUM OF 190 HOME POSSESSION POSSIBILITIES, INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION OF 100 NEW UNITS AND DEPOSITS HELP TO 90 LOW-INCOME FAMILIES. WE WILL STABILIZE MORE THAN 1,800 LOW-INCOME RENTERS IN THEIR HOUSE THROUGH EXPULSION DIVERSION, EMERGENCY SERVICE HELP, REAL ESTATE TAX AID, AND REPAIR WORK. WE WILL CERTAINLY ACT UPON A SCALE THAT FEW, IF ANY, OTHER CITIES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE DOING, CERTAINLY NOTHING ELSE CITIES OF OUR SIZE. THIS ISN ' T SIMPLY ABOUT THE SCALE. IT IS ALSO ABOUT WHERE THE REAL ESTATE WILL BE. WE WILL CERTAINLY DEVELOP'AN INCLUSIVE DOWNTOWN IN DURHAM
, A RACIALLY DIVERSE MIDTOWN, THE IMPOSSIBLE DESIRE FOR GROWING AMERICAN CITIES. WE WILL SELECT THE FUTURE THAT IS WORTHY OF A CITY THAT WISHES TO LIVE UP TO ITS CLAIM TO BE A MODERN SIGN FOR THE SOUTH AND THE COUNTRY. WHAT WILL IT COST FOR US TO BECOME THE CITY WE WISH TO BECOME? ALONG WITH OUR CURRENT CITIZEN AND FEDERAL FINANCES, THE COST OF THIS FUNCTION WILL CERTAINLY BE $95 MILLION OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS. I WILL BE ASKING MY CITY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES TO AREA ON OUR NOVEMBER POLITICAL ELECTION TALLY A VOTE ON A$95 MILLION BOND CONCERN TO FUND AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AND CHANGE THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY FOREVER. [PRAISE]$ 95 MILLION IS A BIG NUMBER, BUT THERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER NUMBER THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT RIGHT HERE. THIS CITY INVESTING WILL CERTAINLY LEVERAGE A MINIMUM OF $445 MILLION MORE IN SPENDING BY OTHER PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTITIES ON THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUNCTION, AND IT WILL CREATE THOUSANDS OF JOBS. AND WHAT WILL THIS COST YOU, THE TAXPAYER? WE CAN FUND THIS BOND FOR CONCERNING TWO-AND-A-QUARTER CENTS ON THE TAX OBLIGATION RATE.
RIGHT HERE IS WHAT THAT INDICATES : IF YOU OWN A$250,000 RESIDENCE IN DURHAM, YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE PAYING$ 56 MORE ANNUALLY TO HELP OFFER HOUSING FOR OTHERS, AND TO AID CREATE THE JUST NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ALL OF US WANT. IT ' S A BIG LIFT, I UNDERSTAND. 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 PLACING WITH EACH OTHER AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO AID EXPLAIN THIS STRATEGY TO OUR AREA, TO REACH OUT TO EVERY CONSTITUENCY BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER. WE
HAVE TO DETERMINE IF WE AS An AREA REALLY INTEND TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GENTRIFICATION AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING, 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 GREATEST EQUITY OBSTACLE OUR CITY DEALS WITH? THE STARS ARE ALIGNED. WE'HAVE A TERRIFIC PLAN. WE HAVE NON-PROFITS WHO CANISTER DO THE FUNCTION. WE HAVE IN ANTHONY SCOTT A TERRIFIC DIRECTOR AT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. [APPLAUSE] THE ONLY CONCERN IS THIS: DO WE HAVE THE MORAL DEDICATION AND THE POLITICAL WILL? INDIVIDUALS ASK ME REGULARLY REGARDING WHAT THEY CANISTER DO FOR DURHAM. THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY DO. YOU TIN JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR THIS BOND MANDATE FOR DURHAM ' S INCLUSIVE FUTURE. LOOK OUT FOR WAYS YOU CAN SIGN UP WITH AND SIGN UP.BEFORE LEAVING THE TOPIC OF REAL ESTATE, I INTENDED TO SAY THAT THE SUBSIDIZED BUDGET FRIENDLY HOUSING PLAN I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING NEEDS TO BE SUPPLEMENTED BY THOUGHTFUL LAND USE PLANNING IF WE'ARE TO ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING WE CANISTER TO PRODUCE AFFORDABILITY. BECAUSE REGARD, I
FEEL CONTACTED US TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT BROADENING REAL ESTATE CHOICES, OUR PREPARATION DIVISION ' S ZONING PROPOSITION THAT IS PRODUCTION ITS WAY THROUGH THE COMMUNITY FORUMS AND SOON TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS. I ALWAYS RESERVE MY FINAL JUDGMENT ON ANY PUBLIC HEARING ISSUE SIMILAR TO THIS UNTIL THE HEARING MORES THAN, AND NOW I HAVEN ' T ALSO SEEN THE SUGGESTED MESSAGE ADJUSTMENTS. BUT I DO HAVE A POINT OF VIEW I INTEND TO SHOW TO YOU TONIGHT. OVER 2000 BRAND-NEW REAL ESTATE UNITS ARE REQUIRED YEARLY SIMPLY TO STAY ON PAR WITH DURHAM ' S POPULACE GROWTH, AND WE HAVE MISSED THIS NUMBER IN SIX OF THE LAST TEN YEARS. THIS ABSENCE OF HOUSING PRODUCTION IS MADE WORSE BY THE FACT THAT THE AVERAGE NEW DURHAM LOCAL HAS$10,000 EVEN MORE IN ANNUAL EARNINGS THAN THE STANDARD CURRENT RESIDENT, SO NEWCOMERS ARE BETTER ABLE TO COMPETE FOR LIMITED HOUSING POSSIBILITIES. THAT IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF DISPLACEMENT OF LONG-TIME DURHAM RESIDENTS. CITY ZONING RULES BELONG TO THE PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 40%OF OUR LAND IS ZONED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SINGLE-FAMILY REAL ESTATE, WHICH CONTAINER BE REALLY EXPENSIVE AND IS INCREASINGLY UNATTAINABLE TO OUR LOWER AND MIDDLE-INCOME LOCALS. THESE RESTRICTED REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES DIDN ' T SIMPLY OCCUR OUT OF THIN AIR. THEY ARE A LEGACY OF REDLINING AND URBAN REVIVAL THAT HAVE ADDED CONSIDERABLY TO THE RACIAL WIDE RANGE VOID IN DURHAM AND THROUGHOUT THE NATION. THE PLANNING DIVISION ' S EXPANDING REAL ESTATE CHOICES CAMPAIGN IS ONE CRUCIAL WAY TO ADDRESS THAT LEGACY OF RACISM. WE REQUIREMENT EVEN MORE COST EFFECTIVE DUPLEX, SMALL RESIDENCE, AND ACCESSORY DWELLING DEVICE CHANCES, PARTICULARLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE SEEN HUGE RUN-UPS IN REAL ESTATE COSTS SUCH AS EAST DURHAM, WALLTOWN AND SOUTHSIDE.IF WE FAIL TO OFFER THESE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NEAR-DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS CLOSE TO JOBS, TRANSIT, AND ALL THE GREAT THINGS DURHAM HAS TO OFFER, WE WILL ASSURE RISING COSTS AND MORE VARIATION IN OUR HISTORICALLY STABLE, LOWER-AND-MIDDLE REVENUE NEIGHBORHOODS. THESE NEW REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITIES CANISTER AND REQUIREMENT GUARANTEE THAT THE PERSONALITY AND HIGH QUALITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IS PROTECTED. WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE NEED FOR REAL ESTATE IN OUR NEAR-DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS CAUSE TEARDOWNS AND CONVERSIONS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO UNAFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE EXPANDING HOUSING CHOICES INITIATIVE CANISTER NOT STOP THIS SENSATION. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. WE HAVE TO INCLUDE THEM SOMEHOW AND THAT ' S WHAT THIS INITIATIVE DOES. WE ALSO NEED A LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM. WE NEED IT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THE BLENDED REVENUE NEIGHBORHOODS WE WILL BE STRUCTURE IN AND NEAR MIDTOWN DURHAM WILL HAVE BUDGET-FRIENDLY TRANSPORTATION TO THE GOOD JOBS THROUGHOUT OUR AREA. WE REQUIREMENT IT TO MITIGATE THE FREEWAY GRIDLOCK THAT THREATENS OUR LIFESTYLE, AND WE DEMAND IT BECAUSE IT ' S THE SOLITARY A LOT OF CRUCIAL THING WE CONTAINER DO LOCALLY TO ELIMINATE CLIMATE CHANGE.ALONG WITH AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS THE CONCERN I ' VE DEALT WITH THE A LOT OF GIVEN THAT I WAS ELECTED MAYOR, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. THE LIGHT RAIL, 18 MILES AND 19 TERMINALS, WILL BE THE FIRST CRITICAL BACKBONE OF OUR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, TO BE ADHERED TO BY A TRAVELER RAILWAY FROM DURHAM TO RALEIGH. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'IS GIVING HALF OF THE$2.5 BILLION EXPENSE OF THE LIGHT RAIL, AND THAT CASH IS TIED UP AND WAITING FOR United States TO MEET OUR CITIZEN DUE DATES.
AND AFTER OUR FIRST ASSOCIATE FINISHES THE TRANSITIONAL WORK PROGRAM IN SEPTEMBER, WE WILL CERTAINLY BE LOOKING TO PRIVATE EMPLOYERS TO TIP UP AND OFFER THESE JOB-READY CANDIDATES A CHANCE.TO MAKE THE
CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL, WE MUST COME TO BE A CITY THAT WELCOMES 2ND OPPORTUNITIES. THE CITY COUNCIL ITSELF ONLY DIRECTLY USES 3 INDIVIDUALS: THE CITY MANAGER, THE CITY CLERK AND THE CITY LAWYER. YOU HAVE ACTUALLY PROVIDED ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY SOLUTION TO OUR CITY GOVERNMENT AND TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BOTH AS CITY SUPERVISOR AND AS CITY LAWYER. I WILL BE ASKING MY CITY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES TO LOCATION ON OUR NOVEMBER POLITICAL ELECTION BALLOT A MANDATE ON A$95 MILLION BOND ISSUE TO FUND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND CHANGE THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY FOR LIFE. IT ' S TIME ONE CITY IN THIS COUNTRY DID IT, AND I KNOW THAT CITY CANISTER BE DURHAM.OVER THE NEXT MONTH, I WILL BE PLACING TOGETHER AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO AID EXPLAIN THIS PLAN TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, TO GET TO OUT TO EVERY CONSTITUENCY BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER.DURHAM AND ORANGE COUNTY VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY APPROVED A SALES TAX OBLIGATION TO FUND THE TRANSIT SYSTEM, AND THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IS OFFERING $190 MILLION.
SOME MORE NEIGHBORHOOD FUNDING WILL BE NECESSARY, BUT THAT'' S NOT THE BIGGEST DIFFICULTY. FEBRUARY 28, SIMPLY 10 DAYS FROM NOW, IS THE TARGET DATE FOR GOTRIANGLE TO INDICATION COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH BOTH THE NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD AND NORFOLK-SOUTHERN, AND WITH DUKE UNIVERSITY. INTENSE SETTLEMENTS ARE ONGOING, NEITHER THE RAILROADS NOR DUKE HAS AUTHORIZED YET AS THIS CRITICAL DEADLINE APPROACHES. IF WE DON'' T HAVE THESE AGREEMENTS AUTHORIZED BY FEBRUARY 28, A 15-YEAR EFFORT TO FUND AND DEVELOP THE LIGHT RAIL WILL PASS AWAY An UNTIMELY END.
I HAVE URGED PRESIDENT COST OF DUKE AND THE RAILROAD EXECS TO INDICATOR THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS SO WE CAN RELOCATE FORWARD TOGETHER, AND I HIRE THEM AGAIN TONIGHT TO DO SO. THE FUTURE OF OUR REGION DEPENDS ON IT. [PRAISE] THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I WANT TO INFORM YOU ABOUT TONIGHT. I INTEND TO BRAG ABOUT THE GRANT OUR AREA RENOVATION SERVICES DEPARTMENT SOUGHT AND WON TO SAFEGUARD HOUSEHOLDS FROM LEAD PAINT IN 180 OLDER HOMES. CONCERNING THE MAYOR'' S DIFFICULTY GRANT WE WON FROM BLOOMBERG TO USAGE BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS TO CONVINCE COMMUTERS TO FIND MIDTOWN IN WAYS ASIDE FROM THEIR CARS AND TRUCK. ABOUT PARKS AND REC'' S INNOVATIVE MYDURHAM AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM FOR TEENS. I INTEND TO EXTOL OUR SOLID WASTE DIVISION'' S ORGANICS RECYCLING FUNCTION WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY HAVE US CREATING GARDEN COMPOST RIGHT RIGHT HERE IN DURHAM FROM OUR BACKYARD WASTE, FOOD WASTE, AND BIO-SOLIDS FROM OUR WASTEWATER THERAPY PLANT.I WANT TO
INFORM YOU HOW EXCITED I AM CONCERNING THE SHARED PROSPERITY STRATEGY OUR WORKPLACE OF ECONOMIC AND WORKFORCE GROWTH IS STRUCTURE, INCLUDING INTENDS FOR A FINANCIAL DEBT AND EQUITY FUND TO PROVIDE BADLY NEEDED WORKING RESOURCES TO OUR MINORITY SERVICES. I WISH TO INFORM YOU CONCERNING THE RACE EQUITY WORK THAT OUR CITY PERSONNEL WILL CERTAINLY BE DOING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG THE BELTLINE PATH, A WONDERFUL NEW PROPERTY FOR OUR CITY. I WISH TO INFORM YOU CONCERNING TREESDURHAM, THE NEW NON-PROFIT THAT IS DRIVING United States TO SATISFY OUR GOALS FOR A RESTORED AND EQUITABLY DISPERSED TREE COVER.
I INTEND TO INFORM YOU CONCERNING THE COMMUNITY-LED FOOD JUSTICE WORK GOING ON TO GUARANTEE THAT NOBODY IN DURHAM GOES HUNGRY, ABOUT OUR NEW RACIAL EQUITY COMMISSION, ABOUT THE FANTASTIC RECORD OF OUR COMMITTEE ON CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS AND MEMORIALS, CONCERNING THE MAYOR'' S COUNCIL ON FEMALE, AND OUR EVEN NEWER WORKERS LEGAL RIGHTS COMMISSION. SO MUCH EXCELLENT FUNCTION IS GOING ON IN THIS CITY 150 YEARS AFTER ITS ESTABLISHING. ON APRIL 13, WE WILL HOLD THE FIRST BIG BASH OF OUR SESQUICENTENNIAL YEAR, A FAMILY-FRIENDLY OCCASION TO WHICH EVERYONE IN DURHAM IS INVITED. I UH INVITE ALL OF YOU TO GO TO. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY TO DISCOVER DURHAM AND THE GALLERY OF DURHAM HISTORY FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON DURHAM 150, AND I'' M DELIGHTED THAT THIS PARTY WILL TAKE PLACE IN TRUE DURHAM FASHION. WHEN WE HOPE THAT 150 VARIOUS TEAMS WILL PLAN 150 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, the PLAN IS FOR A DECENTRALIZED PARTY BETWEEN APRIL AND NOVEMBER. A FEW OF THEM WILL BE SHEER ENJOYABLE, AND SEVERAL OF THEM WILL CERTAINLY TAKE A HARD TAKE A LOOK AT THE CHALLENGES OF OUR FIRST 150 YEARS SO WE CONTAINER GAIN FROM THEM AS WE RELOCATION FORWARD. IF YOUR INSTITUTION OR CHURCH OR CIVIC GROUP DESIRES TO INDICATOR UP TO HOST AN EVENT, CHECK OUT DURHAM150.ORG WHERE YOU CAN ALSO DISCOVER HOW TO LOOK FOR A MINI-GRANT TO ASSISTANCE YOUR GROUP'' S EVENT.ONE THING I'' M WAITING FOR WITH BAITED BREATH IS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM OUR SESQUICENTENNIAL FORMALITY COMMISSION ABOUT INDIVIDUAL IN OUR BACKGROUND WE NEED TO HONOR DURING THIS SPECIAL YEAR. YOU SPOKE WITH ANDRE VANN BRIEFLY. WE HAD A SCULPTURE BOIL DOWN IN DURHAM NOT LONG AGO. WHO IN OUR HISTORY DO WE NEED TO HONOR INSTEAD? BELOW, AFTER THAT, IS THE STATE OF OUR CITY IN THIS, OUR 150TH YEAR: WE ARE A WELCOMING CITY, A DIVERSE CITY, AND A PROSPEROUS CITY DETERMINED THAT OUR PROSPERITY BE SHARED, A CITY CHALLENGED TO ABSOLUTELY LIVE UP TO OUR CREED, TO OUR IDEA THAT WE CAN BE A MODERN BEACON FOR THE SOUTH AND THE NATION.
WHEN I THINK OF THE WORLD WE INTEND TO BUILD, I AM DRAWN TO A RHYME WRITTEN THROUGHOUT THE WOMEN'' S SUFFRAGE MOTION, THEN TRANSFORMED INTO A SONG SUNG BY THE IMMIGRANT WOMEN WHO LED THE EXCELLENT LAWRENCE FABRIC STRIKE OF 1912. IT GOES LIKE THIS: [SINGING] AS WE GO MARCHING, MARCHING, IN THE APPEAL OF THE DAY A MILLION DARK KITCHEN AREAS, A THOUSAND MILL LOFTS GRAY ARE TOUCHED WITH ALL THE GLEAM THAT An UNEXPECTED SUN DISCLOSES FOR IT IS BREAD WE FIGHT FOR, BREAD AND ROSES, BREAD AND ROSES.

SAY GOODBYE TO THE DRUDGE THE IDLER, THAT WORK WHILE ONE REPOSES, BUT A SHARING OF LIFE'' S GLORIES, BREAD AND ROSES, BREAD AND ROSES. ALLOW'' S MAKE THE CITY WE LOVE A CITY FOR ALL.
