>> SPEAKER: MAYOR ANDERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL HERBER 412 OPELIKA RD. APARTMENT 111.
THIS IS ABOUT THE WARD FOR SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS APPROACHED, IF YOU WILL, BY MRS. TAYLOR IN REFERENCE TO THAT WORD FOR POSITION AND I HAD GIVEN IT SOME THOUGHTS.
BUT AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH BASED ON THE WAY THE WARDS WERE REDRAWN AFTER YOU ALL APPROVED EARLIER THIS YEAR, I DISCOVERED THAT I NO LONGER LIVE IN WARD FOUR.
I LIVE IN WARD TWO. AND THAT WAS THE REASON WHY I DID NOT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AS WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE MAYOR AND WAS STATED IN AN ARTICLE THAT WAS POSTED ONLINE BY MR. GEORGE IN THE COMMITTEE CASES DEPARTMENT.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROCESS WAS DONE IN THE PROPER WAY. I DON'T LIVE IN THE WARD I CAN'T REPRESENT THE WARD AS IT IS NOW TRICK BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MRS. FOR EVEN THINKING OF MENTIONING ME AND I KNOW HER REASONS BOTH PERSONAL AND AS FAR AS THE CITY OF AUBURN.
AS YOU KNOW MRS. TAYLOR IS THE ONLY AFRICAN-AMERICAN ON THE COUNCIL. IN MY RESEARCH RECENTLY, I FOUND OUT THAT TUSCALOOSA HAS THREE AFRICAN-AMERICANS ON ITS CITY COUNCIL. THE REASON I SAY THAT, WE LOVE TO COMPARE OURSELVES TO TUSCALOOSA.
AND ALSO AS I MENTIONED DURING THE PROCESS, ATHENS GEORGIA HAS THREE ON ITS COUNTY CITY COMMISSION.
THEY HAVE TEN MEMBERS BUT THEY HAVE THREE AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
[00:25:04]
I AM AS CONCERNED ABOUT MINORITY REPRESENTATION ON GOVERNMENT BODIES AS ANYONE ELSE. SO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FOUR PEOPLE OTHER THAN THE TWO THAT YOU PUT IN NOMINATION TONIGHT, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER ALL FOR BEFORE YOU VOTE NEXT WEEK BECAUSE I WOULD ALSO THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE CITY TO KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER TWO THAT WERE MENTIONED. JUST IN RESPECT TO THEM.AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MRS. TAYLOR FOR RESERVING THE RECREATION CENTER JUST IN CASE IT RAINS FOR JUNETEENTH PIC I COULD MAKE IT TO JUNETEENTH LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE STORM THREATS. BUT I HOPE THIS YEAR IT DOESN'T STORM AND WE CAN STILL MEET AT MARTIN LUTHER KING PARK AND I HOPE THAT I CAN MAKE IT THERE AND THERE WAS A CERTAIN ORGANIZATION THAT I'M IN I THINK THEY HAVE ON THE CALENDAR I NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE. I THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME.
>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU. >> SPEAKER: CAN I SAY SOMETHING. THANK YOU THE CITY MANAGER AND HER STAFF FOR MAKING THOSE ARRANGEMENTS.
TO HAVE IT AT FRANK BROWN AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT'S.
I DON'T WANT TO GET THE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING WHERE I DID ASK ABOUT A RAIN DATE BUT THEY ASKED ABOUT A PLACE TO HAVE IT.
SO WE WANT TO THANK THEM ALSO. AND I HAVE LOOKED AT THE FORECAST AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT 95 DEGREES ON THE 18TH WITH 18 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN. I HAVE BEEN PRAYING.
>> SPEAKER: PRETTY WET LAST YEAR.
WHO WILL BE NEXT? >> SPEAKER: ROBERT WILKINS 261 DENSON DRIVE AUBURN, ALABAMA. GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
WHY DO I COME TO THIS CITY COUNCIL MEETING EVERY COUNCIL MEETING? I HAVE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE THE END OF LAST YEAR. I HAVE FIVE REASONS, ONE IS WAY UP HERE AND THE OTHERS ARE TWO, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE.
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK IT WAS ONLY ONE REASON I WOULD BE HERE AND BE INCOME TAKEN AWAY BY THE COUNCIL OF CERTAIN CITIZENS LIKE ME BUT YOU WOULD BE TOTALLY WRONG.
IT IS THE INFRINGEMENT OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT BY THIS COUNCIL THAT DRIVES ME TO COME TO THE AUBURN COUNCIL MEETINGS.
WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE THE CONSTITUTION THAT OUR FOREFATHERS AND FOUNDERS OF THIS GREAT NATION WHERE WE HAVE UNALIENABLE RIGHTS PICK THE RIGHTS THAT ARE RIGHTFUL, PERMANENTLY AND NOT NEGOTIABLE HE HANDLED RIGHT TO USE BY THE ONE GOD OUR CREATOR. I APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL ALLOWING US EACH WEEK TO DO OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
I LOVE "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL", AND SINCE THE FIRST -- 1962 IN NEW YORK I WAS BORN IN GERMANY, I AM A U.S. NATURALIZED CITIZEN AND CAME TO ALABAMA AT AGE FIVE WITH TWO OF MY THREE BROTHERS AND MY STEPFATHER WHO HAD ADOPTED ME.
THEN A YEAR LATER I ENDED UP IN THE CHILDREN'S HOME IN SELMA ALABAMA FOR TWO AND HALF YEARS AND THAT ADOPTED FOR THE SECOND TIME AT AGE TEN. I FEEL THAT THE COUNCIL HAS INFRINGED UPON THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS WITH ORDINANCE 3288 THAT WAS PASSED BY THE COUNCIL BACK IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR. THIS DISCRIMINATORY ORDINANCE THAT ALLOWS A CERTAIN CITIZENS IN CERTAIN AREAS IN THE CITY OF AUBURN TO HAVE SHORT-TERM RENTALS WHILE OTHER CITIZENS IN OTHER AREAS ARE STRIPPED OF THEIR RIGHTS LIKE ME.
NOT ALLOWING US TO HAVE SHORT-TERM RENTAL RIGHTS I CONVENIENTLY USING THE ZONING MAPS AS A TOOL.
EVERY TIME I COME TO THE COUNCIL MEETING I HAVE MORE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. IT ALL SEEMS TO DERIVE FROM A COMMON QUESTION, WHY IS THE CITY OF AUBURN WORKING SO HARD TO FORCE AND ORDINANCE 3288 BY SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON LOSING INCOME? THIS IS MY -- I WILL SAY THIS IS MY PERSONAL FEELING, NO PROOF PRESENTLY.
I BELIEVE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN USED.
I BELIEVE THAT LINDA DEEN AND HER GROUP, NO HOTELS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS ALSO USED IN PASSING ORDINANCE 3288.
>> SPEAKER: WHO WILL BE NEXT? MOVED TO
