MR. MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM, LADIES AS WELL AS GENTLEMEN OF COUNCIL, MY NAME IS LARRY SMITH AND ALSO I ' M E MEANTIME COPS PRIMARY AND ALSO I ' M HERE TO RECORD FIRST QUARTER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY RECORD OF 2016. THE CRIME RECORD CONSISTS OF PART 1 INDEX CRIMINAL OFFENSE. THAT ' S An OVERALL OF BUILDING CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND TERRIBLE CRIMINAL OFFENSE. PART 1 INDEX CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WAS DOWN 12%IN THE FIRST QUARTER. DRIVENL BY DEE CREASES IN LARCENY, BURGLARIES AS WELL AS AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS. MURDERS, RAPES >> AND ROBBERIES AND ALSO >> CAR BURGLARIES WERE UP. IF YOU HAVE INQUIRIES AS I GO THROUGH FEEL FREE TO QUIT ME, the. COMPONENT 1 TERRIBLE CRIME.
PART 1 TERRIBLE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY CONTAIN> HOMICIDES, RAPES, AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS AND ROBBERIES.VIOLENT CRIMINAL OFFENSE IS UP 7%IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2016 DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY BOOST IN ROBBERIES. YOU ALL REMEMBER THE LAST QUARTER OF 2015 WHAT WE WERE DEALING WITH MOSTLY WAS AGGRAVATED ATTACKS AND MURDERS. YOU ' RE AWARE WE CREATE AN OPERATION WHAT WE DID WE HAD EVERY DETECTIVE WHO HAD A HOMICIDE OR BURGLARY AS WELL AS CONSISTED OF KNOWLEDGE UNIT AS WELL AS EXPERIENCED EVERY SITUATION TAKING A LOOK AT BOTH SUSPECTS AND SUFFERERS AND ALSO 19 SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THAT, THAT HAD EITHER BEEN SUSPECTS IN MULTIPLE CASES OR TARGETS OR BOTH AND WE ASSEMBLE AN PROCEDURE AND TARGETED THOSE 19 INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN THAT.
TO INCLUDE SUBMITTING THEIR NAMES TO SOME NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERS LIKE CJRC, JOB BID AND OTHERS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY IF THEY DESIRED TO COME OUT OF THAT WAY OF LIFE TO DO SO. THAT HAS BEEN REALLY SUCCESSFUL. OF THOSE 19, FOUR I BELIEVE REMAIN IN FEDERAL ARE WARDSHIP, 13 HAVE BEEN ARRESTED. ONE DID MAKE THE MOST OF THOSE SOLUTIONS AND THE LAST I E HEARD HE ' S DEALING WITH A PLUMBER AND ALSO SUCCEEDING. I OBTAINED ASKED WAS THAT SUCCESSFUL; FOR THAT IT WAS THE IF WE MEASURE SUCCESS BY CRIME FIERCE DID IT DO WHAT WE DESIRED IT TO DO? NO, BUT WE DID HAVE SUCCESS.WE ' VE DONE THAT AGAIN LAST MONTH WE DID THE SAME THING P. TOOK AS WELL AS LOOKED AT ALL OF AGGRAVATED ATTACKS, THIS as well as murders TIME 23 DISTINCT INDIVIDUALS TURNED UP, HOWEVER, 6 OF THOSE ROLLOVERED FROM THE ORIGINAL 19. WE ' RE TACKLING THOSE ISSUES. I ASSUME THAT ' S RESULTED IN A DECREASE IN THE AGGRAVATED ATTACK WHICH WE ' LL GO THROUGH SHORTLY. UNFLOIRJ, WHAT IS DRIVING United States THIS MOMENT IS ROBBERIES. WE ' VE BEEN TRYING TOED ADDRESS THOSE AS WELL. THESE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT MATCH WITH THE FIERCE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. MURDER UP 10%. WE HAD 11 BY THE END OF THE QUARTER. RAPE UP 35%WITH 23. BURGLARY, 192 UP 22%. INTENSIFIED ATTACK DOWN 2 %, TERRIBLE CRIMINAL OFFENSE INCREASE OF 7%
. NEVERTHELESS SINCE LAST CRIMINAL OFFENSE REPORT I OBTAINED OF APRIL 23RD, AT THAT POINT HOMICIDE WAS UP 27%, RAPE 47%. RAPES ARE LOW NUMBERS SO IT DOESN ' T TAKE A WHOLE LOT TO INFLUENCE PORTIONS. TYPICALLY OUR FIGURES HAVE BEEN THE SAME.ROBBERY HAS DROPPED DOWN TO 15.8%FROM 22 %AND AGGRAVATED ATTACK HAS ACTUALLY LOWERED TO 3.3%DOWN FOR A 4.9%INCREASE IN FIERCE CRIMINAL OFFENSE COME DOWN FROM 7 %RISE THAT YOU SEE. THE BREAK-IN ISSUE, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME SAME PROBLEMS WE'HAD ACTUALLY ALL OF 2015 AS WELL AS THAT IS OUR LATINO POPULACE APPEARS TO BE PARTICULARLY TARGETED. WE HAVE PUT WITH EACH OTHER SEVERAL OPERATIONS FOR BURGLARIES. LOOK IN SUMMARY YOU ' LL SEE MULTIPLE ARRESTS WE HAVE MADE AS WELL AS WE ' VE HAD EVERY PROACTIVE UNITS OUT TAKING CARE OF THESE PROBLEMS.EITHER SERVICING THE 19ENED NOW THE 23 OR TRYING TO DO HIGH-VISIBILITY MONITORING OR COVERT SECURITY AS WELL AS WE ' VE HAD SOME SUCCESS. BURGLARIES HAVE ACTUALLY LOWERED A LITTLE BIT NUMBER-WISE, INCLUDING LATELY OUR CID DEVICE WHICH THEIR TASK IS INVESTIGATING THESE CRIMES AFTER
THE FACT OVER IN DISTRICT THREE IN WHICH CAPTAIN DAD IS THE CAPTAIN, WE HAD A HISPANIC COUPLE RETURNING FROM CHURCH, IT WAS AN HEIST, THEY SHOT HIM. BASED ON THE FACT THEY ' D HAD OTHERS BECAUSE AREA, THEY HAD MONITORING, THEY LISTENED TO GUN, THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE THAT A PERSON RIGHT INTO WARDSHIP AND REMOVED THAT A PERSON AS WELL AS THE ONE FORMERLY. WE ' VE HAD SUCCESS BUT WE ' RE PUTTING EVERY LITTLE THING WE HAVE AT TRYING TO HANDLE VIOLENT CRIMINAL OFFENSE ISSUE WE'' RE FACING IN THIS CITY. ALSO LAST TIME WE CONSISTED OF DEMOGRAPHICS. UH I DID NOT INCLUDE MAPS THIS TIME BUT I WILL CERTAINLY INFORM YOU WE ' LL DO THAT ON ANNUAL REPORT.MAPPING WOULD BE MUCH OF THE TIME SAME. A LOT OF FIERCE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OCCURS IN CENTRAL CITY. WE'DID INCLUDE DEMOGRAPHICS TO GET IDEA OF WHAT SUFFERERS AND SUSPECTS RESEMBLES. THIS TIME AROUND 67%OF ALL TARGETS WERE BLACK. 17% WERE HISPANIC AND ALSO 12 %WHITE AS WELL AS AFTER THAT 1%ASIAN. YOU MAY ENO AND ALSO WE DID MAKE THE APPREHENSION, WE HAD ASIAN BURGLARY STRING AT THE END OF 2015 AS WELL AS WE ' VE ARRESTED 4, FIVE INDIVIDUALS ON THAT PARTICULAR. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN THE THE LEAD IN THAT CASE OFFERED THE REALITY IT INVOLVES SOME BUSINESSES SO THEY WERE ABLE TO LINK INTIET A HOP VAC AND ALSO THEY ' RE GOING BE TAKEN INTO FEDERAL CUSTODY. GENDER IS 56% MAN AS WELL AS 44% FEMALE. AS'MUCH AS SUSPECTS AND ALSO ONCE MORE THIS IS NAMED SUSPECTS IN WHICH THE SUFFERER EITHER NAMED THEIR ASSAULTER OR WE'MADE AN ARREST AS WELL AS THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THAT ARE– MINE IS REALLY SMALL: 86 %BLACK, 6 %HISPANIC, AND 8%WHITE AND THEN 79% MAN AND ALSO 21%WOMAN. THAT IS AN INTRODUCTION OF THE VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN THE FIRST QUARTER.
>> > > PHONE CALL THE DURHAM CITY COUNCIL CONFERENCE TO ORDER. > > PRESENT. > > BELOW. > > GOD– GOT A MOVEMENT, A SECONDLY? > > OR WOULD YOU FAVOR A BASIC MOTION IN SUPPORT OF THEIR RESOLUTION OR– > > WELL THAT ' S FINE.LOWEST IT ' S BEEN IN 16 BURGLARIES as well as years ARE THE LEAST EXPENSIVE IN THE FIRST QUARTER THEY ' VE BEEN IN 16 YEARS. SIMPLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE'' RE TOTALLY STAFFED OR SIMPLY SINCE WE HAVE 80% STAFFING OR 90% STAFFING, THAT DOESN'' T MEAN THAT EVERY POLICE OFFICER ' S AT WORK. THE CITY HAS GROWN, GOTTEN BUSIER BUT WE'' VE GOT TO OBTAIN THE WOMEN and also males SOME HELP SO THEY CANISTER OBTAIN TO CALLS QUICKER AND ALSO MAYBE HAVE TIME TO DO MORE NEIGHBORHOOD THINGS.IF YOU ' RE CAREFUL AND'I'' M SCARED THAT ' S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE RIGHT HERE, WHEN YOU RUN OFFICERS SO MUCH, THAT CONTAINER BEGIN TO THE AFFECT MORALE.
> > I'PUT ON ' T HAVE THAT HERE, MR. MAYOR, BUT TYPICALLY WHAT WE SEE AS YOU ' VE SEEN WE DO A FIERCE CRIME ON THE TABLE AND ALSO WHAT WE SEE IN GANG DECREASE MEETINGS TYPICALLY BEGINNING AROUND 16, BEGINS TO MOVE UP, PEAKS AROUND 22 AND ALSO STARTS TO COME DOWN AND ALSO LEVELS OUT IN MID 30s. SIMPLY BECAUSE WE'' RE COMPLETELY STAFFED OR SIMPLY SINCE WE HAVE 80% STAFFING OR 90% STAFFING, THAT DOESN'' T MEAN THAT EVERY POLICEMAN ' S AT FUNCTION. THE LAST ONE THAT LEFT STATED THAT HE ' S GOING BE PRODUCTION LESS BUT THAT DIVISION ' S PAY STRUCTURE RELOCATED HIM UP EVEN MORE. THE CITY HAS GROWN, GOTTEN BUSIER BUT WE'' VE GOT TO OBTAIN THE GUYS AND ALSO FEMALES SOME AID SO THEY CAN GET TO CALLS QUICKER AND ALSO MAYBE HAVE TIME TO DO EVEN MORE NEIGHBORHOOD THINGS.IF YOU ' RE CAREFUL AND'I'' M WORRIED THAT ' S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE HERE, WHEN YOU RUN OFFICERS SO MUCH, THAT CAN BEGINNING TO THE AFFECT MORALE. > > ENED DON'' T RESIDENCE TAT TO SEND US E-MAILS TO OFFER United States GUIDANCE ONCE YOU'' VE RETIRED, WE ' LL BE PLEASED TO RECEIVE THEM.I HEAR THAT AS LONG AS THESE MEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO EARN MONEY DEALING MEDICINES, THE VIOLENCE IS GOING TO BE DOWN.WHEN THEY CONTAINER ' T MAKE MONEY DOING DRUGS, VIOLENCE RISES. I WEAR'' T KNOW IF IT ' S ANY CORRELATION OR OTHERWISE BUT I LISTEN TO A LOT CONCERNING THE TRUTH YOU POINTED OUT THE FACT ABOUT TERRITORIAL AND ALSO SEVERAL OF THESE MATTERS DRIVEN BY THAT WHICH'' S WHY I WAS ASKING YOU.

DOESN'' T TAKE United States LONG TO KNOW BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS CALL ABOUT THOSE AREAS.'IF SOMEBODY'' S MAKING MONEY, SOMEONE ' S NOT AND ALSO GENERALLY THAT ' S WHAT ' S CAUSING IT. IF I ' M MAKING MONEY AND'YOU RELOCATE INTO MY AREA THAT '
S NOT GOING HAPPEN.WE HAVE A 6 HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS LAUNCHED FROM SYSTEM IN 2014 RETURN INTO AREAS WHERE THEY WERE ESTABLISHED PRIOR TO AND INTEND TO COLLECTION BACK UP WHERE THEY WERE PRIOR TO WELL SOMEBODY ELSE IS RUNNING IT NOW AS WELL AS GENERALLY THAT WILL CAUSE VIOLENCE. >> > > ACTION OUT.

UM, I WOULD LOVE TO THINK SO, BUT MY FEAR IS IT SIMPLY SEEMS THAT THE UNDERLYING ASPECTS THAT I BELIEVE DRIVE THIS SEEM TO BE GETTING WORSE TO ME THEREFORE THAT MAKES ME E MARVEL GOING ONWARD IS WILL THIS IMPROVE? I THINK THIS WILL JUST OBTAIN BETTER AS WELL AS MAY HAVE SENSED MY IRRITATION LAST PRESS SEMINAR WHEN PEOPLE SAY SUFFICIENT SUFFICES AND ALSO OBTAIN BUSY WITH DOING SOMETHING WITH THE YOUNG GUYS AS WELL AS PARTICULARLY YOUNG BLACK GUYS THAT SEEM TO BE SO HEAVILY PREDISPOSED TO THAT KIND OF VIOLENCE.WE GOT A GREAT DEAL OF
RESOURCES HERE, A WHOLE LOT OF CHURCHES AND ORGANIZATIONS AND I REALLY HOPE THEY CONTAINER DO THAT. UM, I BELIEVE A GREAT DEAL OF THE CHURCHES THAT I UNDERSTAND– AND ALSO THERE'' S A GREAT DEAL OF INDIVIDUALS DOING THAT, DON'' T OBTAIN MY WRONG, THEY ARE. I TALKED WITH A FEW OF THE MINISTRIES THAT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THOSE THINGS, THEY'' RE ALMOST TOUCHED OUT AS WELL AS YOU RECOGNIZE OUR SOCIAL SOLUTIONS SYSTEMS ARE RUPTURING AT THE SEAMS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU'' VE SEEN IT, SO I PUT ON'' T KNOW, MR. MAYOR, I JUST PUT ON ' T. DO I THINK THE POLICE TRYING TO MAINTAIN IT STAMPED DOWN IS GOING TO MAKE IT ANY BETTER, I KNOW WE ' RE NOT, WE CANISTER ' T KEEP UP, BUT THAT ' S–

IF NOT, I'' M GOING TO PHONE CALL YOUR NAME AS YOU JOINED AS WELL AS IF YOU COULD LIMITATION YOUR STATEMENTS TO THREE MINUTES AT FIRST AS WELL AS WE MAY HAVE QUESTIONS.RO BESHT CHAPMAN–

I'' M A NEW URBANNESS ESTABLISH WER 25-YEARS EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECTS WITH COUPLE L THOUSANDS UNITS OF REAL ESTATE IN THEM AS WELL AS I'' M CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN GREENS BORROW STRUCTURE 2 550-SPACE PARKING DECKS IN MIXED-UNIT ATMOSPHERE. WHEN I DISCOVER OUT ABOUT THE RFP I WAS ENCOURAGED TO THINK WE COULD DO MORE, I WANTED TO INFORM YOU. OF PROGRAM I RECALLED AT OUR IN 2014'' S SHARET FOR FIXING THE LOOPHOLE. THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST PRIME AREA, THIS WAS THE AREA THAT HAD EVEN MORE POSSIBLE THAN ANY OTHER AREA ALONG THE LOOPHOLE. THEN I TOOK A LOOK AT THE CONCEALING RESEARCH STUDY IN THE RFQ AND UNDERSTOOD THAT IT HAD AN LOCATION– IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THAT DRAWING AND SEE THE ECO-FRIENDLY PATH TO THE RIGHT, THAT'' S A ROOF IN ADDITION TO PROPOSED VERY BEGINNING REFILL WHICH IS SA GOOD CONCEPT; HOWEVER, IT'' S VOID ABOVE.SO THIS IS A DRAWING OF WHAT PROPOSED. GREEN AREA IS THAT ROOFING SYSTEM BUT THERE'' S NOTHING BUILT ON TOP 6 FLOORINGS OVER IT. WE SIMPLY LOOKED AT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE COULD PUT SIX HOUSES THERE AT NO LOSS OF ROOMS AS WELL AS REALIZED, WELL, FOR THE 5 FLOORINGS THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 30 EVEN MORE HOUSES IF YOU DID IT ON THE ROOFING SYSTEM IT WOULD BE 36 MORE APARTMENTS, AND ALSO AFTER THAT LOOKED AT THE BUDGET PLAN. THIS IS A CLOSE-UP, AMPLE SIZE, AND AFTER THAT WE DID A FEW DRAWINGS. THESE ARE SIMPLY MASSING RESEARCH STUDIES REVEALING WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE COMPARED TO WHAT IT RESEMBLED IN THE MASSING RESEARCH WHICH WAS OPEN PLACE PERHAPS WITH SOME SKIN TO CONCEAL THE LOCATION BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OVER THE GROUND FLOOR. SO THIS WOULD BE SEARCHING FOR MORGAN AT RIGSBY. ANOTHER VIEW. WE SPOKE TO SCENIC TOUR DEGAL LOWS AS WELL AS THIS IS ONE OF THEIR VEHICLE PARKING DECKS AT ROCKVILLE TOWN CENTER.WE LOOKED AT THE
PRICE AND CONTRASTING THESE NUMBERS THIS MORNING WITH METROMONT, WE ACTUALLY FELT WE LOOKED AT A COST FOR An ACTORS IN POSITION IF WE DID A PRECAST IT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN THIS BUT THERE WAS SUFFICIENT CASH LEFTOVER TO DEVELOP THOSE 30 UNITS OF HOUSING AND WE WOULD STILL HAVE $400,000 LEFT FOR FEATURES AND ALSO STREETSCAPE. I IDENTIFY THIS SIMPLY OUT OF CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING A ABOUT TO HAPPEN THAT WILL CERTAINLY LAST A LONG, VERY LONG TIME AND IT COULD BE DONE BETTER AT NO CHARGE, I THINK YOU'' D HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN AS WELL AS THAT ' S WHAT WE ' VE DONE. >> THANK YOU.
>> > > THANKS. >> > > LOU MEYERS. > > GOOD EVENING. LOU MEYERS, RESIDE AT 208 RIGSBIAVENUE DOWNTOWN. INTIRMENT HEAD OF STATE AND CEO OF COMPANY. I WANT TO TALK IN ASSISTANCE OF COUNCIL PROGRESSING ON THE PROPOSAL TO HONOR A CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN OF THE PARKING DECK ON SURFACE AREA CAR PARK 14. OUR PARKING SCENARIO MIDTOWN IS CRITICAL. OBVIOUSLY PARKING HAS NOT STAYED UP TO DATE WITH ERUPTIVE DEVELOPMENT. SHORTAGE OF SPACES IS HAVING NEGATIVE EFFECT ON ABILITY TO PROCEED OUR ROBUST GROWTH. BRINGING HOTEL SPACES, SERVICES, DINING ESTABLISHMENTS, RETAIL, COMMERCIAL, INTENTERPRISES IS THREATENED BY CAR PARKING. THIS IS A SITUATION THAT IS NOT DELAY A PAIR L OF MONTHS WHILE A RESEARCH IS CONDUCTED BY INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THIS PROJECT.LET ME STATE HERE THAT THIS IS NOT AN EITHER PARK ORG REAL ESTATE. PARKING IS CRITICAL, HOUSING IS VERY, REALLY IMPORTANT AS WELL AS TDI HAS ACTUALLY SUPPORTED BUDGET-FRIENDLY REAL ESTATE, WE WILL DO SO IN THE FUTURE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT DIVERSITY IS TRICK AND ALSO DOES A LOT FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE WILL CERTAINLY HELP ADD TO THAT DIVERSITY SO WE ARE FOR BUDGET-FRIENDLY REAL ESTATE. PROBLEM IS THAT THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS TOO FEW SOLUTIONS CONCERNING ECONOMICAL HOUSING AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME AT THIS PLACE. THE CRITICAL CAR PARKING LACK CAN BE ADDRESSED INSTANTLY BY MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROPOSED DECK WHICH CITY HAS INVESTED TIME AS WELL AS CASH IN BRINGING TO THIS PHASE, BRINGING THEM ON IN THE SUMMERTIME OF '' 18 IS CERTAINLY GETTER THAN TAKING THEM ON IN THE FALL OF '' 18 OR THE WINTER MONTHS OF '' 18 OR '' 19 OR ' 20. ON BEHALF'OF TDI WE ' RE BALLOT THIS EVENING TO WAGE THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE PARKING GARAGE. THANKS. >> > > CALFO. >> > > EXCELLENT EVENING. GREAT TO BE BACK. MY NAME IS EXPENSE PHONE CALL COUGH, 39 WEST RIDGE DRIVE COMING BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING THE AS CHAIRMAN OF THE DURHAM CONVENTION CENTER AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS.AS AMONG THE PARTNERS IN THE CONVENTION FACILITY, YOU KNOW FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS THE CITY, THE COUNTY, SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS THE AUTHORITY BOARD HAVE MADE CIGARETTE PROGRESS IN THE MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL PLACEMENT OF THE CONVENTION FACILITY SOMETHING WE CAN ALL TAKE PRIDE IN. THROUGHOUT SAME TIME DURATION DOWNTOWN DURHAM HAS INVITED LONG-NEEDED INFLUX OF HOTELS CRITICAL TO RECRUITMENT OF RISE CONVENTION CENTER REVENUES. KEEPING POSITIVE TREND IS A SIGNIFICANT FIDUCIARY OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANIONS OF THE CONVENTION FACILITY INCLUDING AUTHORITY BOARD. SADLY, MEMBERS OF THE AUTHORITY BOARD FEEL THIS DEVELOPMENT REMAINS IN JEOPARDY FEE TO THE PARKING DILEMMA WE HAVE NOW IN MIDTOWN. IN BEHALF OF THE BOARD I'' D LIKE TO THANK TOM DURHAM ' S PARK MANAGER FOR INFORMATIVE RECORD TO OUR BOARD LAST THURSDAY ON THE PARKING SCENARIO IN MIDTOWN SIMPLY MENTIONED AS YOU UNDERSTAND WE'' RE OUT OF PARKING.JUST WHEN THE FUTURE CONVENTION SERVICE FOR MIDTOWN LOOKS SO VERY BRIGHT WE PLACE THIS OPPORTUNITY IN RISK. ABSENCE OF CONVENIENT PARK PREPARED HINDER ABILITY TO RECORD BUSINESS. IN LAST MONTH WE ' VE LOST THREE PARTS OF SERVICE AS A RESULT OF LACK OF CAR PARKING. CITY MANAGEMENT LET MY TOM BODY BONFIELD HAS ACTUALLY COMPLETED ANALYSIS OF THE 750 ROOM PARKING DECK WITH RETAIL AND ALSO OFFICE ROOM ON THE GREAT DEAL 14 SURFACE VEHICLE PARKING LOT. THIS PROCEDURE IS ALLOWED TO PROGRESS THE DECK CANISTER BE READY TO ENTER THE SUMMERTIME OF 2018. RECENT CONVERSATIONS OF THE COUNCIL HAVE ADDRESS IMPORTANT PROBLEM OF AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AS POSSIBILITITY TO CONSIST OF IN THE BUILD THOFG PARKING DECK. AS OUR BOARD UNDERSTANDS ADDING AN COMPONENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL REQUIRE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO RETURN TO THE ATTRACTING BOARD AND START THE PROCEDURE TO STYLE AS WELL AS BUILD A VEHICLE PARKING DECK ALL OVER ONCE AGAIN AT BEST THIS DECISION DELAYS AUTO PARKING DECK FROM UPCOMING ONLINE UNTIL 2020. ALLOW ME TO BE CLEAR AS LOU STATED AND ALSO I AGREE, THIS IS NOT DISPUTE BETWEEN CAR PARKING AND ALSO AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE, WE ALL KNEE WE NEED TO ACCOMPLISH BOTH.
CURRENTLY CITY HAS GOTTEN RECORD ABOUT HOW COMMUNITY OUGHT TO ADDRESS ISSUE OF AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE. QUESTIONS IN FRONT OF YOU: DO WE EMPHASIS ON 30 %AVERAGE INCOME? 60%? DO WE FOCUS ON LEASING? OWN A HOME? THE AUTHORITY BOARD PRAISES COUNCIL FOR ADDRESSING THESE AFFORDABLE HOUSING QUESTIONS UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS IN PUBLIC POLICIES IN AREA RIGHT NOW TO BEGIN SOLVING THIS CRITICAL CONCERN AS WELL AS WE DO HAVE CRITICAL AUTO PARKING ISSUE THAT REQUIRES ARE RESOLVING YESTERDAY.THE AUTHORITY BOARD BELIEVES WE CAN NOT AFFORD A 2 F-PLUS YEAR HOLD-UP IN CAR PARK MIDTOWN. WE RECOGNIZE COUNCIL WAGE ALL CHARGE HASTE TO DEVELOP LOT 14.
THANKS. > > WELCOME. > > TERESA. > > GOOD EVENING. I WISH TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS WELL AS REAL ESTATE FOR WORKING LABOR FORCE REAL ESTATE DOWNTOWN WHICH IS THE MEANS I SEE THIS PROPOSAL AT 80%OF AREA >> AVERAGE EARNINGS,> I PUT ON ' T THINK IT SHOULD NEED A SUBSIDY FROM THE CITY OR ANY SPECIAL POLICIES OR PROCEDURES. I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED BUT I ASK THE TEAM TO APPEARANCE AT THE PROPOSE TOLL ADD AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE OR ANY KIND OF REAL ESTATE, PHYSICALLY, POSSIBLE, ON THIS SITE. AS WELL AS WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER EVERY CITY-OWNED RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY FROM THIS POINT FORER WARD AS AN POSSIBILITY– ONWARD AS AN POSSIBILITY TO INCREASE DIVERSITY OF DOWNTOWN AS WELL AS TOIN CLOUD REAL ESTATE– TO INCLUDE REAL ESTATE FOR WORKERS AND ALSO OTHERS WHO COME AND ALSO WANT TO LIVE DOWNTOWN.EXTREMELY DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE. THERE IS EXCEPTIONALLY MINIMAL INEXPENSIVE HOUSING. I KNOW DUE TO THE FACT THAT I LOOKED FOR HOUSING FOR WORKING PEOPLE AROUND MIDTOWN AND ALSO COULD NOT FIND ANY AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, YOU OBTAIN THE CALLS TO– I DO WISH TO SAY THAT I AM REPRESENTING COALITION FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS WELL AS TRANSIT ALTHOUGH WE DIDN ' T REALLY OBTAIN AN POSSIBILITY TO REVIEW THIS, WE HAVE ENCOURAGE YOU TO USAGE YOUR LAND FOR AABLE FORDSABLE HOUSING IN NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND MIDTOWN. WE ANTICIPATE DEALING WITH YOU AND ALSO WITH ANY LUCK HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HOUSING MIDTOWN IN THE FUTURE. > > MR. MILLS. > > GREAT NIGHT COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MAYOR. I ' M MALY E SA MILLS, LIVE AT 1009 NORTH VEHICLE DRIVER ROAD AS WELL AS I HAVE COME RIGHT HERE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I ' M INTERESTED IN AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AND ALSO I ' M CURIOUS ABOUT PARKING. I ' M INTERESTED IN THE WELFARE >> OF THE CITY. >> I ' M FOR BOTH. WHAT I STRESS OVER IS AWORRY ABOUT PRODUCTION DECISIONS IN HASTE DRIVEN BY CONCERN AS WELL AS THAT ' S A LITTLE LITTLE BIT WHAT I ' M HEARING AS WELL AS I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE EARLIER ABOUT THE DANGERS TO LOST REVENUES AND ALSO HOTELS AS A RESULT OF LACK OF AUTO PARKING SPACES.I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING AT'THE WORKING SESSION OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TODAY AND ALSO HEARD THAT IN THIS PAST YEAR THREE HUNDRED INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN AVERTED FROM NORTH CAROLINA GALLERY PERMANENTLY AND SCIENCE BECAUSE THERE WASN ' T ADEQUATE VEHICLE PARKING AND SO THERE ' S A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION OF CANISTER THERE BE SHUTTLE, THIS, OR THAT. THERE MUST BE SOME CREATIVE SOLUTIONS. WHAT I ' M STRESSED REGARDING IS THE CHANCE EXPENSE OF TAKING SOME PROPERTY THAT IS REALLY RIGHT MIDTOWN AT A TIME WHEN WE ' RE TRYING TO ADD THICKNESS TO THE CITY FOR THE LITE RAIL AS WELL AS THIS WOULD BE JUST A PRIME OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE WE ARE LIKEWISE SPEAKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR THAT IS JUST ADD LIFE TO THE EVENING LIFE MIDTOWN, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS LARISSA MENTIONED WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE LIVABLE FOR THESE YOUNG BUSINESS OWNERS THAT WE ' RE DRAWING IN FROM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.I ' M NOT CLAIMING WE SHOULDN ' T DO IT BUT I ' M PHRASE THAT THE DISTINCTION OF 2 MONTHS IN 2018 ISN ' T– THAT ' S ALREADY WE HAVE THE ISSUE IN BETWEEN RIGHT HERE AND 2018 WE ' VE GOT TO DEVELOP An OPTION. WE CANISTER ' T WAIT ON 2018 TO RESOLVE'THIS. SO WHAT I ' M SUGGESTING IS THAT WE RELOCATION AHEAD AND TURN UP CURRENTLY WITH A SERVICE OF SHUTTLE BUSES, REMOTE CAR PARK, SOMETHING, FREE VALET VEHICLE PARKING, AND LOOK ONCE AGAIN AT WHAT COULD WE DO TO ADD THICKNESS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT NO CHARGE TO THE CITY AT THIS REALLY ATTRACTIVE PLACE? THANKS SIGNIFICANTLY. > > WELCOME. PERMIT ME TO ASK, ANY PERSON ELSE THAT WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS PRODUCT SHA HASN ' T HAD An OPPORTUNITY TO TALK? THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. LET ' S RETURN TO COUNCIL UNLESS ADMINISTRATION HAVE SOMETHING YOU INTEND TO INCLUDE? OK. CONCERNS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL? IDENTIFY MAYOR PRO TEM. > > I I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE ATTORNEY.MR.
>> CHAPMAN FIRM HAS ACTUALLY SUBMITTED ON THIS PROJECT. HOW COULD WE, UM, INCLUDE THAT PROPOSITION WITHOUT ALLOWING THE OTHERS TO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO RESPOND THE SAME MEANS? WILL WE HAVE TO GO BACK OUT AGAIN OR– > > SPEAKING OFF THE CUFF, YOU WOULDN ' T NECESSARILY SIMPLY TAKE MR. CHAP MALE ' S PROPOSAL BUT YOU WOULD COME >> BACK AS WELL AS START THE PROCESS OVER ONCE AGAIN, BE MORE INUH INCLUSIVE. YOU ' VE BEEN LION PROPOSAL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT THE MANAGEMENT IS GOING AS WELL AS THEY NEED ASSISTANCE FROM YOU AS TO CONTINUE THAT DIRECTION, SO IF YOU ' RE GOING TAKE PIECES OF A VARIOUS PROPOSITION YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE'TALKING ABOUT– ESSENTIALLY STARTING OVER, YES. > > OKAY. THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION. THANK YOU. > > COUNCIL PARTICIPANT REECE. > > JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE ASK FOR PROPOSAL WENT OUT, WE RECEIVED PROPOSITIONS FROM NUMEROUS VENDORS TO CONSTRUCT THIS PARKING DECK, IS THAT RIGHT? > > THAT ' S CORRECT. > > WAS AMONG THEM THE GROUP THAT MR. CHAPMAN WAS DISCUSSING TONIGHT OR IS THAT EXTRANEOUS TO THE PROCESS. > > AMONG THE PROPOSITION OBTAINED WAS FROM THE TEAM THAT MR.CHAPMAN IS REFERRING>> FOR THE STYLE RFQ. > > OK. THE PROPOSAL >> THEY ADVANCE, DID THAT INCLUDE THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT MR. CHAPMAN DISCUSSED TONIGHT? > > IT INCLUDES ABOUT 25-28 RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THEIR PROPOSAL. > > OK. >> DID IT OTHERWISE MEET CRITERIA THAT REMAINED IN THE RSP FOR THE PARKING DECK, ITSELF? > > THAT, IT DID NOT. THE SONG OF 7 IND PEPT CUSTOMERS EXAMINED ALL >> EIGHT OF THE PROPOSALS VERSUS ESTABLISHED REQUIREMENT AS IT WAS LAID OUT IN THE PAPERWORK.SOME OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS WERE AROUND THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THOSE FIRMS TO BUILD A CASTING AREA, ARTICLE STRESS PARKING GARAGE THAT WAS COMBINED USE. WE WERE EXTREMELY SPECIFIC #THAT. IT WAS NOT THAT OUR GROUP WAS BIASSED AGAINST AFFORDABLE HOUSING. >> ECONOMICAL HOUSING PART WAS NOT ONE OF THE ELEMENTS WE WERE RACKING UP THE PROPOSITIONS AGAINST. IF >> THE PARTICIPANT COMPANY WOULD HAVE DEMONSTRATED THEIR CAPE BILLTIES AS WELL AS CAPACITIES TO PROVIDE An AUTO PARKING GARAGE, WE COULD BE HAVING ANOTHER DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE WOULD VIEW AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE ELEMENT AS VALUE-ADD TO THE PROPOSAL. BECAUSE IT DID NOT MEET BASIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE EXTENT OF WORK, it SCORED LOW. > > CANISTER YOU I DON ' T KNOW– CANISTER YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW THEY STOPPED WORKING? LIKE WHAT LITERALLY DID THEY NOT DO OR DID NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE TO ACCOMPLISH? > > ALL PROPOSALS WERE BASICALLY CERTIFIED. I PUT ON ' T HAVE THE DELINEATION OF THE SPECIFIC POSITIONS WITH ME TONIGHT BUT WE CANISTER OFFER THAT TO COUNCIL. A FEW OF THAT WOULD BE SHIPMENT OF A MIXED-USE USE PARKING GARAGE WITH CERTAIN SIZE AS WELL AS CERTAIN TOWN WITH COMMERCIAL OFFICE ELEMENT TO IT BEING An ACTORS IN POSITION GARAGE.THEN WE HAVE OTHER STANDARD THAT CASCADED FROM THAT, THAT I TIN SHARE. > > SO ALTHOUGH THEY WERE QUALIFIED BUT THEY JUST, THEY DIDN ' T, THEY DIDN ' T COMPARE TO– > > THEY WERE NOT ONE OF THE MOST QUALIFIED. CORRECT. > > YOU SUGGESTED A AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING >> ELEMENT WOULD BE VALUE-ADD. > > RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT IN OUR ORIGINAL RANGE OF WORK FOR THE GARAGE, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY CRY RATE THAT TO RANK AFFORDABLE HOUSING PART. IN ORDER FOR US TO HAVE THAT KIND OF CAPACITY AT AS A GROUP, WE WOULD NEED TO DO ANOTHER ANALYSIS TO CONSIST OF THAT WHICH WE WAS NOT A PART OF THE INITIAL SCOPE.
> > MANY THANKS. > > COUNCIL PARTICIPANT SCHEWEL. > > MANY THANKS, MR. MAYOR. >> THOMAS, YOU DISCUSSED 2 VARIOUS AT THE FUNCTION SESSION YOU TALK LD ABOUT A PAIR DIFFERENT KINDS OF GARAGES AND ALSO> IT WAS A SORT OF GARAGE THAT UH YOU SUGGEST WE HONOR THE> RFP TO OR CONTRACT TO AS OPPOSED TO TYPE OF GARAGE THAT THIS GROUP WAS PREPARATION TO BUILD– THIS >> GROUP HAS OFFERED TO BUILD A MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE GARAGE.CAN YOU SPEAK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO? > > ORIGINAL RANGE OF FUNCTION WE HAD ACTORS IN POSITION GARAGE VERSUS A PRECAST GARAGE. DISTINCTION IS IN THE DURABILITY OF THE GARAGES. WE UNDERSTAND THAT INITIAL RESEARCH STUDY TELLS US PRECAST GARAGE USUALLY E HAVE LIFE CYCLE OF 25-30 YEARS AND ALSO NEEDS LARGE UPKEEP >> WITH THE GROWTH JOINT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 5-7 YEARS. WE DECIDED BASED ON STUDY WE HAD TO PERFORM A BLOG POST TENSION CAST IN AREA GARAGE, WHICH COULD LAST 70-75 YEARS AND ALSO REQUIRE LESS UPKEEP TO ABOUT EVERY 10 YEARS.CAST IN PLACE GARAGE WE LOOKED AT SAFETY AND SECURITY, WEBSITE LINES. PRECAST GARAGE WOULD PROVIDE YOU LITTLE PANELS THAT WOULD BE ATTACHED BY EXPANSION JOINTS. EVERY ONE OF THOSE PANELS ALSO REDUCES SITE LINES SO WE WOULD HAVE INCREASE LIGHTS COST AND GARAGE WOULD FEELING MORE SHUT IN AND NOT OPEN. CONNECTED IN AREA GARAGE IS EVEN MORE OF A PIECE, IT WOULD HAVE LESS DEVELOPMENT JOINTS REQUIRED TO BE CONNECTED. BETTER ESTHETIC WITH LESS LIGHTING PRICES AND ALSO AESTHETIC WOULD BE OPEN CANVAS OF A GARAGE. BASED ON SINCE IT WOULD BE CONSTRUCT WITH PARK AS WELL AS BUSINESS FUNDS WE WANTED A GARAGE THAT WE COULD PLACE IN LIFE PROCESS EVALUATIONS AS WELL AS PLUG UPKEEP RIGHT INTO MODEL AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROJECT FOR THE PERSPECTIVE WHERE WE COULD A GARAGE DURABLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AHEAD. > > YOU ALWAYS DO SUCH An EXCELLENT JOB IN DESCRIBING THESE COMPLEX THINGS, I VALUE IT. MR. MAYOR COMMENT, IS IT APPROPRIATE? UM, I ' M GOING TO VOTE TO RELOCATE THIS AHEAD AND ALSO I WANT TO SAY WHY. I REALIZE APPRECIATE, BOB, YOU ALL BRINGING THIS TO United States. I THINK THAT THE MAYOR WILL PROBABLY E CONTACT YOU SOON BUT I CAN ' T CONTACT YOU BUT I E WILL CERTAINLY INFORM YOU THAT I APPRECIATE YOU ' RE TAKING THIS ONWARD BECAUSE I CONCUR QUITE THAT YOU STATED YOU ' RE DOING IT AS A CIVIC 46 MINDED THING AND I APPRECIATE THAT.MY THING IS THIS, THAT FUNDING SYSTEMS A AT $144,000 An ITEM FOR 80%OF LOCATION MEDIAN INCOME ISN ' T OUR TARGET. IT WOULDN ' T BE A TOP PRIORITY FOR ME HAVING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS GARAGE, UM, AND THE POINT I FEEL ABOUT OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ILY FEEL THIS HIGHLY
>> AND ALSO DREAMS AND ALSO I SEEM LIKE I WISH TO HAVE EVEN MORE OF A DISCUSSION WITH OUR HOUSING ADVOCATES ABOUT IT IS THIS: WE ' VE GOT TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THE BALL. WE HAVE FREEDOM STREET TOWERS THAT WE REQUIREMENT TO REDEVELOP. WE REQUIREMENT TO AID THE DURHAM HOUSING AUTHORITY DO THAT. WE NEED TO GET CONTROL OF PAY YET PLACE– FAYETTE AREA. ALL HUGE TASKS THAT ARE ALL GOING TO TOUCH TAX OBLIGATION CREDIT SCORES. THIS BARGAIN IS TOO'SMALL FOR TAX DEBT. ALL SUBSIDY WOULD NEED TO COME FROM US. THE'THING THAT– WE HAVE OUR WHOLE PLAN.
IF SOMEONE'' S PRODUCTION CASH, SOMEONE ' S NOT AS WELL AS COMMONLY THAT ' S WHAT ' S CREATING IT. WHAT I ' M WORRIED REGARDING IS THE POSSIBILITY PRICE OF TAKING SOME REAL ESTATE THAT IS REALLY RIGHT MIDTOWN AT A TIME WHEN WE ' RE TRYING TO ADD DENSITY TO THE CITY FOR THE LITE RAIL AS WELL AS THIS WOULD BE JUST A PRIME CHANCE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE ARE ALSO TALKING REGARDING AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE FOR YOUNG BUSINESS OWNER THAT IS SIMPLY ADD LIFE TO THE NIGHT LIFE DOWNTOWN, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS LARISSA MENTIONED WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE LIVABLE FOR THESE YOUTHFUL BUSINESS OWNERS THAT WE ' RE DRAWING IN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.I ' M NOT STATING WE SHOULDN ' T DO IT BUT I ' M PHRASE THAT THE DISTINCTION OF 2 MONTHS IN 2018 ISN ' T– THAT ' S ALREADY WE HAVE THE ISSUE IN BETWEEN HERE AND ALSO 2018 WE ' VE GOT TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. > > THAT ' S CORRECT. > > SO EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE CERTIFIED BUT THEY JUST, THEY DIDN ' T, THEY DIDN ' T MATCH UP TO– > > THEY WERE NOT THE A LOT OF QUALIFIED. I BELIEVE THAT THE MAYOR WILL POSSIBLY E TELEPHONE CALL ON YOU IN A MINUTE BUT I TIN ' T TELEPHONE CALL ON YOU BUT I E WILL TELL YOU THAT I APPRECIATE YOU ' RE BRINGING THIS FORWARD SINCE I AGREE REALLY MUCH THAT YOU STATED YOU ' RE DOING IT AS A CIVIC 46 MINDED POINT AND I VALUE THAT.MY THING IS THIS, THAT SUBSIDIZING DEVICES A AT $144,000 A PIECE FOR 80%OF AREA MEAN EARNINGS ISN ' T OUR TARGET.I WEAR ' T BELIEVE THAT'I RAN FOR THIS OFFICE OR WAS E ELECTED TO DEVELOP MORE VEHICLE PARKING DECKS IN DOWNTOWN DURHAM.ADD TO THAT THE CONCEPT THAT IF WE DELAYED NOR SOME DURATION OF TIME I HOPE IT WOULDN ' T TAKE 2 YEARS OFFERED HOW CLOSELY THE GUIDELINES THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO ADD AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE WOULD BE TO THE EXISTING ENGINEERING VIEWPOINT PUT ASIDE ADMINISTRATIVE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW WE DO THAT WITHIN THE CITY E FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MAKE THOSE UNITS AFFORDABLE, I DON ' T UNDERSTAND AS WELL AS QUITE TRUTHFULLY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET A PERSON TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE 2 YEAR ENHANCEMENT IN TIME BUT I ' M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO THAT AGAIN TODAY.YOU ' VE ATTEMPTED, YOU ' VE DONE An EXCELLENT JOB, IT ' S MY HEAD, NOT YOURS. I CAN ' T TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH FUNCTION YOU ' VE GOT TO DO AND ALSO IF THAT ' S YOUR SOLUTION, YOU ' RE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO DO THE WORK AND ALSO IF YOU ' RE TELLING ME YOU COULDN ' T GET IT DONE UP UNTIL 2017, I ' D BE UNWILLING TO PUSH YOU IN THAT INSTRUCTIONS BASED ON WHERE WE ARE. I WOULD LIKE AT LEAST MAYBE PAIR WEEKS TO SHOT TO THINK THROUGH ALL >> OF THESE PROBLEMS AND ALSO COME BACK TO YOU THE IF NOTHING ELSE WITH EXPLANATION OF WHY IT ' S GOING TO TAKE UP UNTIL 2017 BUT TO SEE IN A BETTER ARTICULATE ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE FEELING THAT WE WOULD REQUIREMENT TO HAVE ADDRESSED, I BELIEVE IT ' S BEEN A LITTLE OVERSIMPLIFIED IN TERMS OF JUST OBTAIN IT DESIGNED AND ALSO GET IT BUILT, BUT IT MAY NOT BE AS COMPLICATED AS OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE.SO MAYBE WE ' LL TAKE TWO WEEKS, COME BACK, CERTAINLY NOT GOING BE PREPARED BY THURSDAY, BUT AND ALSO PERHAPS THE WORK SESSION TWO WEEKS FROM THURSDAY WE ' LL SHOT TO COME BACK WITH EVEN MORE DESCRIPTION.
I WEAR ' T BELIEVE THAT'I RAN FOR THIS OFFICE OR WAS E CHOSEN TO CONSTRUCT EVEN MORE PARKING DECKS IN DOWNTOWN DURHAM.ADD TO THAT THE SUGGESTION THAT IF WE DELAYED NOR SOME DURATION OF TIME I HOPE IT WOULDN ' T TAKE TWO YEARS OFFERED HOW CLOSELY THE STANDARDS THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO ADD AFFORDABLE HOUSING WOULD BE TO THE EXISTING ENGINEERING VIEWPOINT PUT ASIDE ADMINISTRATIVE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW WE DO THAT WITHIN THE CITY E FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MAKE THOSE UNITS AFFORDABLE, I PUT ON ' T UNDERSTAND AND QUITE HONESTLY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN A PERSON TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE TWO YEAR ENHANCEMENT IN TIME BUT I ' M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO THAT ONCE AGAIN TODAY.YOU ' VE ATTEMPTED, YOU ' VE DONE A GREAT WORK, IT ' S MY HEAD, NOT YOURS. WE SANCTUARY ' T HAD CHANCE TO OBTAIN TO ANOINT IT BUT WE DON ' T REALLY OBTAIN TO HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON IT WITHOUT DOING WHAT EVERY LITTLE THING IS TELLING United States THAT ' S INCLUDED IN DOWNTOWN REAL DAMAGE TO OUR BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN. IF WE WERE ABLE TO SAY GO 6 MONTHS WHICH USEDED IN ORDERING AND THAT DECK BY THE METHOD WAS A PRECAST DECK.ORIENT WE BUDGETED FOR An ACTORS IN AREA DECK IN THE PROPOSAL L WE SENT AND BY THE WAY WE ' RE NOT IN THE RUNNING FOR THIS ANYMORE, WE DIDN ' T MAKE THE CUT, WE ' RE NOT LOOKING FOR THAT, I ' M TRYING TO GET THE CITY TO MAKE A BETTER AND ALSO WISER SELECTION E AT THIS FACTOR. I CAN ' T TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH WORK YOU ' VE GOT TO DO AND ALSO IF THAT ' S YOUR ANSWER, YOU ' RE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO DO THE WORK AS WELL AS IF YOU ' RE TELLING ME YOU COULDN ' T GET IT DONE UP UNTIL 2017, I ' D BE RELUCTANT TO PUSH YOU IN THAT INSTRUCTIONS BASED ON WHERE WE ARE.
