And Heavenly Father, I ask that you give them the passion to care. We 00:05:27 have to love one another. We have to care what happens in our city if we are to make it the kind of place it should be. And Heavenly Father, we ask for 00:05:36 special blessings when it comes to crime, because crime makes us all victims. We ask that you help us in this area. We also ask that you help those who are homeless, those who are hungry, those who 00:05:51 don't know where their next meal is coming from. We ask that you bless those who don't know how to pay for their mortgage or their rent. We ask that you bless those who are incarcerated, 00:06:05 especially those who are incarcerated for crimes they didn't commit. We ask that you help all of us to do what we should to make this city a better place, and we ask that you bless 00:06:17 Stated Meeting June 17, 2021 level and our President and those on the federal level, because the older we get and the more we serve, the more we realize that we are 00:06:28 all connected, and we must be if we are to serve and serve our city well. I thank you, Lord, for all those who are here. Again, I ask that you guide them as they go forward to do 00:06:40 the right thing in that thy name.

The 00:40:19 ayes have it, the motion carries, and we will consider the Consent Agenda shortly. I want to now recognize Councilman Green.
Yes, Council 00:40:29 President. For the bills being brought up on the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar, I know there was a bill listed 200075. I want to check to make sure that is the correct bill and not 00:40:41 210475. 210475 deals with the Consolidated Plan and wanted to make sure that is the bill that's going to be brought up on the Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar. My 00:41:00 understanding, the script has 200075.
Mr. President, I have 200075 being called up for 00:41:17 Stated Meeting June 17, 2021 today. I do not have the Consolidated Plan being called up.
The Consolidated Plan should be called up 00:41:34 today.
Okay. Did you get information that it 00:41:45 was not to be called up today, Mr. Decker?
I don't think in terms of what we need to do makes much of a difference timing-wise. Can you list that to be called up? That would be 200047 [sic]. 00:42:12
Council President, can we just add it to the end of our Calendar today in additional resolutions and bills?
00:42:41 Stated Meeting June 17, 2021 2ND READING Yeah. I just want to make sure that that's noted.
Yes, Mr. President. I have it. Councilwoman 00:42:45 Parker, she would call that up in the list of bills, 210475.
Just a 00:43:00 point of information, Mr. President.
To our Chief Clerk, I am calling up Bill No. 210475 up for bills and resolutions on 00:43:06 the regular Second Reading and Final Passage Calendar, is that correct, Mr. President and Mr. Chief Clerk?
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to make sure that I had clarity. 00:43:23 Stated Meeting June 17, 2021 2ND READING
