[17. Public Comments]
CITY ATTORNEY MR WILLIAMS REPORT. MR MAYOR, ALRIGHT. NEXT IS PUBLIC COMMENTS WAS BOB RUDOLPH. GOOD EVENING. I DIDN'T EVEN BARBARA RUDOLPH 16 75 MOUNT VERNON STREET. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I SIGNED UP. DID I? DID YOU JUST READ MY MIND? OH, OKAY. WELL, I GET THERE IS ONE THING I WANTED TO SAY BRIEFLY. IS, UM, CASINO. EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION IS THERE UM SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT THING. UM. MADE PROGRESS DURING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. BUT LOOKING AT KIND OF LOOKING AT A TIMELINE AND IT WILL COME BACK BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN 2023, ASSUMING THAT THINGS GO ACCORDING TO PLAN. WHAT YOU ALL ARE LOOKING TO DO IS IT WILL BE, UM REFERENDUM ON IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2023, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AWAY. SO WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING IS KIND OF FOLLOWING THE PROGRESS OF THE CASINO DEVELOPMENT IN THE OTHER FOUR CITIES THAT HAVE THEM BRISTOL, DANVILLE. NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH'S. ACCORDING TO WHAT I'VE READ. ALL THREE OF THOSE BRISTOL. NORFOLK AND DANVILLE PLAN TO OPEN THEIR CASINO AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUE WITH THE HOTEL, THE RESTAURANTS AND SO FORTH. IN THE SPRING OF 2024. SO AND IMPORTANT IS SAYING THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN THERE'S UP TO A YEAR EARLIER.BUT IF YOU BACK UP, LET'S SAY WE TAKE THE THREE AS MAYBE PREDICTIVE OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU BACK UP FROM THERE. THAT'S ABOUT 3.5 YEARS FROM THE TIME OF THE REFERENDUM. SO IF YOU HAVE A REFERENDUM HERE IN NOVEMBER OF 2023, THE VOTERS APPROVE IT AND SAY YES, WE WANT TO HAVE A HALF CASINO GAMING IN PETERSBURG. TO THE POINT WHEN IT ACTUALLY OPENS. WOULD BE POSSIBLY IN LIKE MID 2026. THAT'S A PRETTY LONG WAY OFF. SO FOR THOSE WHO WERE, UM,
[00:10:05]
CAMPAIGNING OR TALKING ABOUT THINGS NOW. I MEAN, CERTAINLY IT'S WORTH TALKING ABOUT, BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO BE TAUGHT PUTTING ALL OF OUR EGGS IN THE BASKET OF THE CASINO. WHEN IT'S THIS FAR AWAY . IT CAN HELP US. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. THAT NEED MONEY AND ATTENTION. SO PLEASE STAY IN THE HERE AND NOW, THANKS. FOR SALE, MIRALLES. MICHELLE MURRELL'S 1 31 SOUTH MARKET STREET. I AM HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE VIOLENCE IN OUR CITY THAT OUR CITY CONTINUES TO ENDURE THIS PAST WEEKEND, ALL TOWN WAS HIT WITH VIOLENCE AT ITS VERY CORE. THE BEAUTIFUL ARTIST LOVES HAD A SHOOTING TAKE PLACE, AND IT'S VERY LOBBY ONE BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE. WHEN WE HEARD THE GUNSHOTS, MY DAUGHTER AND I CAME DOWN TO IN A CHAOTIC SCENE AND IMMEDIATELY DID WHAT WE COULD WE HELP TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING AS NEEDED. MY DAUGHTER AND I ALSO HELPED TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THE SCENE SO THE POLICE CAN DO THEIR JOB. I KNOW THAT THAT WAS HELPFUL, BUT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY PEOPLE OUT THERE, LETTING EVERYONE KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN DIRECTING THEM AWAY.THE CITY CAN REDIRECT TRAFFIC FROM FLOODED STREETS IN AN INSTANT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM, USING OUR EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE COULD NOT HAVE USED THAT SAME SYSTEM. TO REDIRECT THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE SCENE. THIS WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, AND PEOPLE WERE CONSTANTLY COMING BACK AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE POLICE DID NOT RELEASE THE SCENE UNTIL AFTER EIGHT P.M. IMAGINE BEING ALLOWED TO GO BACK, NOT BEING ALLOWED TO GO BACK INTO YOUR HOUSE FOR SEVERAL HOURS, AND YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO GO AND 100 DEGREE HEAT WITH GAS PRICES AS HIGH AS THEY ARE. YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF YOU WILL BE ALLOWED BACK TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EMERGENCY SHELTER PUT IN PLACE FOR THESE PEOPLE.
THE LIBRARY WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PLACE FOR THAT. AFTER ALL, THIS BEAUTIFUL SPACE THAT TAX DOLLARS WERE WASTED ON SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED FOR MORE THAN PARTIES IN CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS . THIS IS NOW OLD TOWN THAT JIM OF PETERSBURG THAT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS HYPING AS BEING SAFE.
WELL, IT'S NOT AND Y'ALL STILL SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS. I SAID SO IN MAY, I SAID SO IN JUNE, AND I'M STILL SAYING SO IN JULY. AND, YES, COUNCILMAN HILL. I UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF IF I 0.1 FINGER AT YOU. YOU WILL BE POINTING THREE FINGERS BACK AT ME. BUT THAT THREAT TRULY MEANS NOTHING TO ME. YOU DO NOT SCARE ME AND OBVIOUSLY THE FAMILIAL TIES. YOU CONTINUALLY REFERENCE MEAN NOTHING EITHER, AS THE SENSELESS SHOOTINGS OF TEENAGERS CONTINUE. I LAY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS VIOLENCE AT YOUR FEET. YOU HOLD THE PURSE SPRINGS AND THE PURSE STRINGS AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GIVE OUR POLICE OFFICERS WHAT THEY NEED TO FIGHT CRIME, WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE NOW. YOU CAN FUND A PROPER POSITION TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OF WHAT'S GOING ON, AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT AN EMERGENCY PLAN IN PLACE FOR THINGS LIKE THIS. FINALLY THERE WAS A SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE AT GIL FIELD BAPTIST CHURCH. THAT WAS FOR THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THE SHOOTING SINCE IT HAPPENED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, AND YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
SENATOR MORRISSEY CAME AND GAVE US SOME REAL WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. IT REALLY IS TOO BAD THAT THE ONLY OFFICIAL WHO SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT OUR CITY AS OUR SENATOR WHO DOES NOT ACTUALLY LIVE HERE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. UM AT THIS TIME, YES. HELLO. MY NAME IS AURORA MURRELL'S 1 31 SOUTH MARKET STREET. AS MANY YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A FATAL SHOOTING LAST SATURDAY, IT TOOK TWO DAYS FOR A SINGLE CITY OFFICIALS EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT ONLINE. THE CITY IS VERY QUICK TO ANNOUNCE WHEN HE WROTE HIS CLOTHES DUE TO FLOATING I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAME CANNOT BE DONE WHEN A SHOOTING OF THIS MAGNITUDE OCCURS. I WAS THERE. THREE MINUTES AFTER IT HAPPENED. I LIVE ONE BLOCK AWAY AND HEARD ALL OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED. IT WAS CHAOS. CHAOS LASTED FOR HOURS. IT WAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON, AND MANY WERE COMING HOME OR CONFUSED BY WHAT WAS GOING ON. MANY WERE STUCK BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AVOID THE SITUATION. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MESS WHICH IS NOT SENT OUT TO AVOID THE AREA AT ALL COSTS. I GET IT WITH A CHAOTIC SITUATION, BUT IT ONLY TAKES FIVE MINUTES TO POST SOMETHING MANY HAD FAMILY INSIDE , AND I KNOW WHAT TO DO, EVEN IF THEY COULD GET BACK INTO THEIR APARTMENTS. IT WAS A HARD DAY.
MANY HAD NOWHERE TO GO. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GET BACK INSIDE THAT NIGHT. MANY WOULD HAVE TO SLEEP IN THEIR CARS HAVE ANOTHER EVENT SIMILAR TO THIS OR EVEN A NATURAL DISASTER. LIKE THE ONE THAT TOOK OUT MUCH OF OLD TOWN, THE CITY WOULD BE IN DISARRAY. 20 AN ACTUAL PLAN IN PLACE AND LOCATION FOR PEOPLE TO GO TO GET HELP. WE HAVE USED A BUS STATION AS A WARMING CENTER IN A COOLING CENTER. BUT FOR EXAMPLE, TWO WINTERS AGO, IT TOOK DAYS IN ORDER TO OPEN THE BUS CENTER AS A RESULT. AS A WARMING CENTER. IT WAS NEVER OPENED LAST WINTER, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A DAY
[00:15:01]
WHERE A LARGE PORTION OF THE CITY LOST POWER. WE HAVE THIS BRAND NEW LIBRARY. WE'RE STANDING IN. RIGHT NOW. WE NEED AN ACTUAL PLAN IN PLACE IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCY, BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY WE DON'T YOU SEE RESOURCES AS A TEMPORARY SHELTER. EVERY PLACE I'VE EVER LIVED, HAS A HOMELESS SHELTER OR OTHER LOCATION TO HEALTH PEOPLE IN TIMES OF NEED. WE ARE ONE DISASTER AWAY FROM THE WHOLE CITY COLLAPSING AND THAT RISK INCREASES WITH EVERY PASSING DAY. WE NEED A KOREAN ACTUAL PLAN FOR THINGS LIKE THIS AND OTHER DISASTERS. THANK YOU.ALRIGHT SEEING NO OTHER HANDS IS PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS CLOSED. UM UM AT THIS TIME, I LIKE, UM, COUNSELING MYERS TO, UM DEFINITELY ADDRESSED THE CROWD. I KNOW YOU WAS THERE AND THE WHOLE TIME, MR MAYOR. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I SIT HERE AND LISTEN TO FOLKS TALKING ABOUT HOW FAST THEY WERE THERE. HOWARD MYERS AND CHASTITY AND MAKAYLA. WAS RIGHT THERE ON THE SCENE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SHOT. WE DIDN'T CARE. WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT YOUNG LADY WHO HAD FALLEN WE WERE THERE YOU WERE NOT. AND SO, YES, I SAW YOU LATER ON TODAY. SO DON'T COME IN HERE AND PROFESS OF WHAT WHAT THE CITY OF PETERSBURG'S RESOURCES ARE DOING FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IF YOU SAW THAT SCENE LIKE I SAW IT THAT DAY, I'M VERY PROUD. OF MY CITY OF PETERSBURG OFFICES, THE STATE POLICE AND EVERY OTHER JURISDICTION THAT CAME TO HELP THE CITY OF PETERSBURG ON THAT DAY. NO ONE CAN DENY IT AND DISPUTED. THERE ARE MORE THAN 30 OFFICERS ON THE SCENE. I WAS THERE FOR FIVE HOURS.
TRAUMATIZED I WATCHED THE YOUNG LADY CLOSED HER EYES, SO DON'T TELL ME ABOUT ME. POSTING ABOUT A YOUNG LADY WHO HAS LOST HER LIFE ON FACEBOOK. IS THE WORST SHIP I'VE EVER SEEN. THANK YOU.
TIME. GOING BACK. TO MILLER AND WE HAVE A NEW PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR WHO IS HERE TODAY WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE. YES, SIR. MR. MAYOR, MR. MAYOR. EXCUSE ME. BEFORE WE GET TO THAT. CAN I HAVE A POINT? PRIVILEGE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WELL MR MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AND TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT I THINK THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO SEE MRS KEISHA WHITE. IF YOU CAN COME UP, PLEASE. SHE IS OUR NEW DIRECTOR, HUMAN RESOURCES SHE COMES TO US WITH A BOATLOAD OF EXPERIENCE, AND WE HAVE MR PAUL JOHNSON. COME ON OVER HERE. HE'S OUR NEW DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. HE TOO, COMES TO US WITH A BOATLOAD OF EXPERIENCE. THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS ARE REALLY PART OF THE KEY FIBER IN OUR CITY TO MOVE OUR CITY FORWARD, AND I'M JUST DELIGHTED TO, UH, HAVE THESE TWO SUPERB PEOPLE BEFORE YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS, MR JOHNSON AND MRS WHITE. SO THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING ON BOARD. RIGHT NOW BACK, UM, FOR A MOMENT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE. COUNCILMAN HILL? YES I JUST WANTED TO BE SAID BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I NORMALLY DON'T SAY ANYTHING AFTER PERSON SPEAKS AT THE MIC. THAT'S YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK. BUT WHEN YOU CALL A NAME, YOU PUT MY NAME OUT THERE. SO I HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS. NO WAY HAVE ALBUM INTIMIDATED ANYBODY. AND THIS THING ABOUT POINTING FINGERS AND THREE FINGERS POINT BACK OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW THAT'S WE ALL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR CITY . I TAKE MY RESPONSIBILITY. I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE TAKE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. YOU KNOW, I WE PRAY DAY IN AND PRAY PRAY DAY OUT FOR OUR CITY AT ALL TIMES. IT'S SENSELESS WAS WAS GOING ON. NOT ONLY IN OUR CITY BUT ALL ACROSS OUR NATION WHEN IT COMES TO THIS GUN VIOLENCE AND WHAT HAVE YOU AND I WOULD JUST HOPE.
THERE BECAUSE OF INDIVIDUAL MAYBE RUNNING FOR PARTICULAR OFFICE. YOU TRY TO GET SOUND BITES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WE HAVE REAL PROBLEMS AND REAL CONCERNS. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU WERE DOWN THERE BUT I'M GONNA PASS OVER CHURCH ON SUNDAY. I'M IN MY PULPIT. I KNOW REVEREND LINES VERY WELL. AND WE CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE AT ALL THE TIME ALL THE TIME WE'VE BEEN GOING TO PRAYER VISUALS. WE'VE BEEN MARCHING. WE'VE DONE A WHOLE LOT. THESE LAYERS 767 OR EIGHT YEARS, SO JUST BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT SEE US AT ONE EVENT WERE REPRESENTED THIS MAN RIGHT HERE SAW YOUNG LADY LOSE HER LIFE, AND THAT'S WHY I PRAYED FOR THAT FAMILY AND FOR HIM AND FOR THIS CITY SO WE JUST GOT TO BE CAREFUL. WHAT ARE WORDS YOU KNOW ? AND WHEN YOU CALL THE INDIVIDUAL, OUR I WOULD NEVER SAY SUCH AND SUCH NAME AND WHAT HAVE YOU SO YOU KNOW, UNLESS

AND THAT'S NOT MY WAY OF COUNSELING . I'M THE TYPE OF COUNCIL PERSON THAT YOU KNOW. I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING BACK IF YOU CALL MY NAME BUT I WOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING IF YOU CALL IN GENERALITY, AND I STILL HAVEN'T SAID YOUR NAME, SO I APPRECIATE IT IF YOU KEEP YOUR NAME OUT OF MY MOUTH.
