Any discussion? All in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carried. Thank you sir. Moving into a period of presentations. Item number 3. Mr. Julian H. Hayward Day Proclamation. The Honorable Tina N. Herbert. If I could get all of the Greenview folks and the family members and friends of Julian H. Hayward to come on up to the podium while I read this proclamation. And just so you all know, you know, I called the mayor in bed. Can I please read it? And then he ends up not being here. So I had to read it anyway. So I'm excited. Whereas Mr. Julian H. Hayward was born in Sumter, South Carolina on November 23, 2021, 1921 from the Union of Julian Hayward and Lutisha Hayward as their third of eight children. And whereas he was drafted into the military for World War II and saw active duty traveling by sea to England, then France, and by land into Belgium, then Luxembourg, and finally Germany. Following the war he settled in Columbia, South Carolina with his brother Samuel A. Hayward and worked at Fort Jackson as a master carpenter. Whereas he has lived in the Greenview community since the 1950s until now and is believed to be the oldest living resident of Greenview. Whereas he is the proud father of four children, Brenda Harrington of Rembrandt, South Carolina, Julian Hayward deceased, Betty Jean Hayward deceased, and Florence Williams of New York. We let her get away, Syracuse. Whereas Mr. Julian Hayward will celebrate his 102nd birthday on November 23, and therefore I, Tina Herbert on behalf of Daniel Rickerman, along with my fellow members of Columbia City Council, do hereby proclaim November 23, 2023 as Julian H. Hayward Day in the great city of Columbia and urge my fellow citizens to recognize and participate in its observance. And Mr. Hayward could not be here today. We didn't want him to have to come out, but we do have some pictures. That's from the, they had a drive-by celebration forum on Saturday, and I wasn't able to make it, but great pictures. That is him right there, and then Ms. Ida. Is that John? John, is that you? And that's his son, John. And I think there's some other pictures. Nephew. Nephew. Nephew. And there were some other pictures. I don't know if that is him and his daughter, Brenda. And there may be one other picture. But I want to, you all know my roots in Greenview, and I was explaining, I learned a lot from Greenview, good and bad, but I wouldn't be who I am without those experiences. And so I wanted to make sure that we showed him the honor that he was due. And I don't know if Ms. Ida or his nephew wants to say anything. Well, thank you so much, Councilwoman Herbin, to all the members of Council and all those present. Of course, Greenview is a very special place for those of us who had the honor of growing up there. And in doing research for our quarterly newsletter, I discovered that Mr. Hayward is our oldest living resident. And so we are excited to honor him. This is a picture that members of the Greenview Reunion Foundation took with him several months ago. He is still spry, still very sassy, and was just absolutely delighted with the drive-by celebration we did for him on Saturday. And we are just so appreciative of you taking the time to recognize him. He's a wonderful individual and has lots of stories to share. And so we are all excited about his birthday coming up on Thanksgiving Day and about this opportunity to formally recognize him. Thank you so very much. And thank you for bringing it to my attention, too, because this is significant. We want to make sure that we show him, give him all the recognition that we can. Absolutely. He moved to Greenview two years after my parents moved there. They moved there in 1948. He moved there in 1950. The beginning of 1950. Yes. It's a long time. Thank you very much.  Thank you. And at this time, item number four is an update from the South Carolina Ballet. Mr. William Starrett, the CEO and artistic director for the South Carolina Ballet. Thank you. Thank you, Councils. Thank you so much for having a few minutes of your time. I wanted to thank you particularly for our H-Tex funding, particularly last year. It was so helpful. We had our biggest year ever. I want to take a few moments to introduce some of my dancers. Some of the 29 fully contracted artists. The South Carolina Ballet is the largest employer of artists in our state. So if you'll please rise and I'll introduce. First of all, my company manager, which is Brandon Funk.  Maurice has been with us 18 years from Greenville originally. And then I want to introduce this is Peyton Bond, Booth. James Velasco. And there's Tony Tucker and Josiah Savage. And now I'm blocked. There is Imani Garrett. She's a local girl made good. Then over here we have our first dancer is Claire Rap. And our principal dancer, Van Dyke. Joshua Van Dyke. And behind if you all sit down so we can see we have Amanda Wong and Gianna Coco and Derek Jones. Korak Jones, sorry. I always call him by the first name. So this is just a few of our 29 dancers, but I wanted you to get an idea of the amazing artists that we have lured here to Columbia and that are performing for us. We're in the middle of our Nutcracker tour. And on Thursday and Friday we're performing for 4,500 children at the Coker Center. It's already sold. We're doing Frosty the Snowman. So in the middle of our six city tour, we're already booked for nine cities next year. We're already sold out in Savannah. They had opened up the top balcony and were completely sold out in Florence. So we're like the Taylor Swift LA that we sell out. I can't even believe we're performing there in Florence on the 14th of December and there are no tickets left. So that's just incredible. And people are discovering how amazing the art form is. So our education outreach is full throttle and we performed last night in Lancaster three performances. So we reached 1,800 children in Sumter and 1,000 children in Lancaster yesterday. So I also wanted to talk about our season coming up Motown Ballet. We're bringing that back. It was hugely successful. Again our bow to diversity which is so important. And we're doing Snow White in the Spring and then the world premiere of Elvis Presley. So we just really wanted to talk about the impact economically in that we're the largest performing arts organization. We perform the most amount of times in the city of any arts organization, any local arts organization. So we do six nutcrackers alone and then we do six seasons here in Columbia. So what we're proud about that is that we can refund the hospitality tax because so many people reach us and then so many people eat and drink before and after the performance. And that wouldn't be possible. We couldn't reach them if we did not have the marketing dollars. So thank you so much for your past funding and we hope we can keep it coming so we can continue to do what we do so well. We really want to invite you to please come to one of the performances. I think that all of us stay so busy and that if you came and saw the crowds that are there and the excitement of the ballet and the performances, you would understand why the funding and the support is so important. I mean it's ballet and it's the most popular art in our city. We perform the most times in the biggest theater. So there's got to be something to it. So come and find out and I will get you free tickets. You'll be my guest. Please come in the next two weeks. So thank you so much for all of your support. Thank you. Thank you, William. And your company has done a fantastic job for years in the city of Columbia and I'm glad that you've now become the South Carolina Ballet because you are the premier ballet company in the state. I'm proud of you. Thank you for all the work that y'all do to get to this level of performance. Thank you, Mr. DeVall. If you do not mind, Councilman, I just want to take a moment of personal privilege as I do sometimes. Did you dance with William? I'm sorry. Did you dance with William? When I was a little girl, or more recently, no, no, sir, I did dance but unfortunately not with William. I've had some years of service to recognize today. And of course, when there are significant years of service, it's very important to me that we take a quick moment to do that. And I know these are some individuals you all are familiar with. So I'm going to ask ACM Henry Simons to come up for our first recognition. Thank you, Councilman DeVall and our council members. Thank you, City Manager. For this privilege and opportunity I have, of course, worked for the City of Columbia since 2019. And without a doubt I could not do what I do without someone that works with me every day. And she is truly appreciated. She's the engine behind what operations does. And I'm very thankful for who she is to our organization, who she is to me as an ACM. So please help me congratulate Ebony Kelly on 25 years of service for the City of Columbia. Thank you so much. Thank you. Ebony helps Henry, he helps me, he helps Cliff and Pam, all of the Missy, all of us, all of the Assistant City Managers. She's so helpful and such a joy and has made her way around the city with that institutional knowledge. Our second recognition I will do. I will ask Mr. Jeff Palin, our Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer to come forward. As you all know, he is very important to me personally. He stands quite nobly when asked for me oftentimes. I'm not going to go into what I really know he would like to receive for these years of service. It's brown and hard and liquor that I can't give him today. So I'll give him something else besides his bourbon. But I would like Jeff to come forward to receive his pin for 15 years of service. And for some history you all may know, some of you may know when I became Assistant City Manager, Jeff was serving as our Treasurer. And I knew that any good city manager better have the finances in order and the public safety functions in order. And I felt like we had never had a Chief Financial Officer at the City of Columbia and Jeff's ability to know money matters but explain them in a way that not only I and our staff can understand and the elected body has been very helpful and not to mention his ability to say no and amongst other things. So Jeff thank you for your service. Please share this your pin and share this little treat to halls with Jeannie if you don't mind. If you can give up the stage it or just for yourself and share it with her. Thank you sir. Thank you for indulging me with those. So with our consent agenda I know that there are a few items, items 9, 11 and 21 that a few council members want to speak to. One of the items I'm going to speak to on behalf of Mayor Rickman actually. And so if you'd like to take up those items right now just as far as the commentary on them we can do that and then approve the whole consent agenda after you all discussed those items. Is that okay? Yes. Is number nine the first one? Yes sir. Number nine is regarding the professional services contract for Rapid Shelter Security Services and I know Councilman DeVall you had. This is the one I asked to have a comment on. I plan to vote to support passage of this but once again before I leave this council I wanted to remind the council of my fear that we are biting off more than the city of Columbia can shoot. This is $640,000 for security contract to be used on the Rapid Shelter and what we used to call the Inclement Weather Shelter and that is just one of the expenses we have in dealing with the homeless situation in the city of Columbia. I have told this council before and I'll tell them again if I have a chance that the homeless problem is not unique to the city of Columbia. We did not cause the problem and we cannot afford to solve the problem alone. We need to have a concerted state and federal effort to support the homeless services and one city, the city of Columbia, cannot bear all of the financial investment that it will take to make a big dent in this problem. So as we go forward with other programs dealing with the homeless, start adding it up how much we are paying and is it going to be enough to solve the problem or are we just putting band-aids on top expensive band-aids on top of the soil. So that's just my two cents. I plan to vote for this thing because I think it is necessary but I think this council needs to be aware that you cannot pay enough money to solve the homeless problem in the city of Columbia. Thank you. He wanted us to make sure that the community understands the investment that we are putting back in our neighborhoods and this construction contract for the Randall Avenue Pocket Park is a wonderful example of that, of a park that I think will certainly contribute to the quality of life in that community. And then item 21, Councilman Brown, I know you had some comments. Yeah, thank you City Manager. I would like to have in just a second either ACM, Clint Shealy or Robert Anderson discuss this project. I think it's important Wood Creek Farms is pretty far out but it's also part of my district and there's been a 20 year hangover with the developer out there and I think it's important that we talk about our investment into this area of city but also I want to, even though he's not here today, I want to give the mayor credit for really addressing this situation and becoming an advocate for the folks out of Wood Creek Farms but also more of a champion to try to write some of the wrongs that we weren't really responsible for. So if we could just talk a little bit about the project and a little bit about the ongoing issues out there and I'm thankful for both of you as well as the mayor and City Manager for getting involved in a situation that even the few short months I've been here seem pretty untenable at some point but so with that I'll turn it over to Robert. Thank you sir. So Wood Creek Farms Road is a complete rebuild project. It's not just a mill on repaving so we went to CTC which is the County Transportation Commission a couple years ago and discussed Wood Creek Farms Road and at the time we estimated about 1.8 million. The bid came in at 2.6. That's how much increases we've experienced over the years but Wood Creek started out as a repave or rebuild of everything from Old National down to Spears Creek but during the middle of that Wood Creek Farms neighborhood had a concern about Jacobs Mill Pond Road and there's a roundabout there then Jacobs Mill Pond Road actually belongs to SCDOT. So recently Robert Sweatt Victor Atlas and Tony Magwood with SCDOT actually went back after we bid the project to CTC and actually has the 2.6 million dollar project fully funded with the County Transportation Commission. This is after a lot of work and a lot of details and a lot of meetings with the neighborhood about what we're going to do. So we've met with the neighborhood several times. They are aware of what we're going to do. We've tried to do the best we can. A few years ago we did this on Lost Creek Drive. We've tried to make them as aware as we can about how dusty and dirty this is going to be. When you take asphalt off the road and you get back down to dirt you start telling it up with cement. You start getting dust and they'll have a lot of dust for quite a few months. But if approved tonight as this contract goes forward we believe the contractor is first of all going to do the cement work around the roundabout and get the radiuses widened out then they'll go in to actually do in the soil cement which is when they bring their big machines in. They'll actually till everything up to include possibly the asphalt. They'll add cement of concrete dust. They'll put some water on it. They'll roll it in. It has to set for a few days then they'll put the top layer of asphalt on. When they do this the road ought to last for 25 years or so before it has to be redone again. But generally when you rebuild roads the way we're rebuilding this it will just be mill and resurface the next time around. So when we get the contract going we will meet once again with Councilman Brown if he wishes or anybody that wishes to go to Wood Creek Farms we will meet with them. We will make sure they're aware of the process. Then we'll start putting weekly posts out to the neighborhood saying this is what happens today. This is what's going to happen next week. This is what's going to happen next week. So they walk through the project with us and we feel like when we communicate these projects even though they're going to be dusty, even though they're going to be dirty even though your cars are going to get muddy at least they know every step of the process. So we're looking forward to getting this project underway as soon as we can. And thank you Robert and I would also consider this a quality of life issue for the folks at Wood Creek. So I think you know and I appreciate City Manager talking about that with the previous issue and I think you know as we go through these items they really are these really are quality of life issues for the citizens and I think it's important that we look at that way as well. Thank you. Robert how old is the Wood Creek wrong farm road? So Wood Creek Farms, the first house in Wood Creek Farms was put in around 1995. Wood Creek Farms Road was there then. The best count we have now we think there's about 23 or 400 homes in Wood Creek Farms. Of course they don't all use Wood Creek Farms Road. A lot of them uses Jacobs Mill Ponds. So it's getting quite a bit of daily traffic. I'm asking a question for one of my colleagues is this the Richland County Penny or is this the gas tax? This would be gas tax. So it's County Transportation Commission. Okay. Any other questions? Thank you all. At this time you can consider the consent agenda items 5 through 29. Do we hear a motion? I move. Second. Moved and seconded. Madam Clerk I'll let you call the roll. There's a lot of money in this one. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Brown. Ms. Herbert. Aye. Dr. Bustle. Aye. Mr. Brennan. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Thank you. At this time sir we will move to the zoning planning matters for first reading. Item 30 is an annexation future land use map amendment and zoning map amendment for 9.28 acres along Heart Lane Road. 2 acres along Ola Grande Road and the TMS numbers are outlined for you there. You all held a public hearing on October 17th 2023 and first reading was deferred for your recollection. Oh so we're not doing and I'm sorry I didn't realize we had already done the public hearing. Yes ma'am. Okay. And so you need a motion. So do people get to speak if they're here for the agenda? Because there are some folks. This is an agenda item and there are some folks I know that signed up they would have spoke at the beginning of the meeting. Item 30 should be allowed to speak then. And do we want Chris to do you have anything to say or present? Nothing further from the public hearing. Is anyone present that wants to speak on item 30 of Parkland Road hearing none. Is there a motion? Yes. I'm going to move to deny the, hold on a second. I'm going to move to deny the motion to deny it.  And can we have discussion really quick. Krista can you can you just refresh away. Okay. Never mind. I'm sorry. Forgive me everyone. I'm looking at the wrong line. I moved to approve the annexation. I'm sorry. Will was over here talking to me. Okay. That answered my question. Thank you. So you're moving to approve Yes. And we have a second. Okay. Madam clerk. Mr. Brown. Hi. Mr. Herbert. Hi. Dr. Bussos. Hi. Mr. Brennan. Yes. Mr. Duval. No. Thank you. Moving into public hearing and first reading for zoning planning matters and I'll let Ms. Hampton take it from there. Thank you Ms. Wilson. The first item is an annexation in future land use map amendment 1. It is a request to annex the property and assign a zoning of community activity center corridor district for the annexation. The pads are not populating. Nope. Anybody here to speak for against item 31 Hayward Street. Do I hear a motion? Yes. Any further discussion? Madam clerk. Mr. Brown. Hi. Mr. Herbert. Hi. Dr. Bussos. Hi. Mr. Brennan. Yes. Mr. Duval. Hi. Thank you. Your next case is a zoning map amendment for 2401 Gadston Street 701 Chester and next to 701 Chester. It is a request to rezone the property from residential single family small lot to mixed use district. Anyone here to speak for or against item 32? I have Joe Checker signed up to speak. Good afternoon. My name is Joe Checker. I live in Elmwood Park near these lots and I ask that you do not change the zoning to mixed use and keep them residential. I believe this will protect our property values and quality of life in Elmwood Park. We have commercial products and we have a lot of growth all around us but these lots are more into the neighborhood which is going to bring more noise and more traffic through the neighborhood to get to whatever business develops there. So that's all I had to say. Thank you. Yes ma'am. Hi. I'm Jennifer Powers. I'm the owner of the lots and all of the unanswered questions that the zoning department hasn't given me for whatever reason. But these particular properties have been a bit of an albatross. When I purchased the properties it was discovered that the city has a main sewer line over the lower half of the property which is undevelopable because of the city's sewer line. It has encumbered the development of this property significantly since I've owned them since about 2015. The property on the corner has been the VFW building since the late 20s or 30s. The building itself is a commercial property. It has no residential value with this building on it and maintained a business and a business license across the street which I worked from and used this building since 2015. I have applied for a new sewer tap in 2020 which I was given and there was no mention ever to me about rezoning this property. I have nothing but MU2 and MU1 completely all around the properties on Wayne Street that have been abandoned for years and no businesses are in them are still MU1. The development of these two little lots over there are not and one of them having a building that has been there for almost 80, 90 years I just don't see how the city can change my zoning since I bought these as an investment. The MU2 that is up in this little triangular corner is also a lot but yet the city decided that maybe they want to keep it for the rail to trail so they didn't rezone that and it's completely adjacent to me. So it seems that they're just either cherry picking me or they have not reviewed this building that is on this lot. It is the VFW from the 20s 30s whenever it was built. It's a block building. It is not a residence and you know with the sewer problem that the city presents to me and the other developing problems I don't know what else I can do with a VFW building. I've asked for help I've asked for explanations. I just don't understand why everybody around me doesn't get that consideration of change why it's just mine. Thank you ma'am. Chris the staff recommended denial and the PC voted can you give us an explanation why you recommended a denial? Certainly staff reviewed this and the future land use plan does show this as a residential lots with regard to the structure that is there. That is a condition that can be found in many of our historic districts and those are sometimes converted into residences. You'll see some of those actually in Elmwood Park where those have been converted. The MU1 was actually down zone significantly. It used to be light industrial so that was changed to a very low level mixed use zoning at that location. To the back as well was industrial. That was a construction refuse site and so the adjacent properties had been planned unit development residential a PUDR, the large one there and that was restricted to residential use at the time so that is why staff reckon made that recommendation. I was talking to TK and I guess just trying to Ms. Powers answer some of the questions as best as I can and I couldn't get the exact phrase but the sewer line was already there when you purchased the property and I wanted to make sure with legal why we couldn't move it and she confirmed what I thought was that we couldn't use public dollars for a private benefit so like if the city spent the money we would be doing that for you privately. It doesn't serve a city purpose. Does that make sense for why we cannot just pull that up for you? Cox and Dinkins did the survey of this property which is what was done when I purchased it and there was no sewer line revealed and the city did not know they had a sewer line I was the one that found the sewer line I guess I could have destroyed it and then you know dug it up or something like that and then they would have had to deal with it but they didn't even know they had the sewer line in fact their easement is a prescriptive easement it is not an easement of record so they have been encroaching on the property for all this time. The sewer line is in bad shape too but we still can't use public funds to do it though and I just want to make sure you understand that point. Well the city did agree to move the sewer line they just wanted me to pay for the materials so there was some discussion about that at other city council meetings because of the way it was designed and how much it takes up the property and you did not want to you were not amenable to that well you can't develop it you know when you don't know what you can develop so I can't make a decision on that kind of investment I'm spending the move of sewer line for a city block when I don't know when I can put there and it's never been conclusive what could actually go there my street is 10 feet more narrow than the rest of the streets in Elmwood park well now that's also one of the concerns if you're trying to bring in commercial or a bigger development that the streets are real narrow well it is when you're doing residential because there's no parking but if you're using unusable developable property for parking then it's not so to change my building on the corner of Chester and Gadston from a commercial to a residential I could have used all that parking in the back well and I do have a question for Christa just to make sure I understand it the zoning was in fact changed but it's grandfathered in as it is but if the structure is to be changed it needs to be residential I don't have an answer to that because I've tried to call Christa to discuss things and we haven't heard back from her now I am talking to Christa that's actually inaccurate I have met with Jennifer Powers and I've not had a call from her of recent date so that is actually not accurate however the zoning was changed it was a PUDR and then no property had been changed during the comprehensive reason okay and so but if that structure was to be demolished or changed it would in the current zoning it would need to come back as residential right now it is not in the historic district it would have to be used as residential there is currently not a commercial use that's approved for that location it is well you can if the storage of goods does not constitute a business a business license is not present at that location okay well if that's the case then the buildings down on Wayne Street should have been rezoned also because there was buildings that were vacant for years that were adjacent to Columbia heating and cooling but I have used too much further what are the rules with respect to the time with this part because I'm asking someone to enforce the rules the speaker's time limit is up your time limit is up I'm sorry Mr. Duval I move that we deny this request motion is for denial is there a second? Second motion is moved and seconded any further discussion Mr. Brown Mr. Herbert I Dr. Bussells I Mr. Burnin Mr. Duval I thank you your final item was deferred so that concludes your zoning public hearing moving into a public hearing and ordinance first reading item 34 is ordinance number 2023 099 amending the 1998 code of ordinances of the city of Columbia South Carolina chapter 4 2 live stop to add section 4 37 temporary use of goats for prescribed grazing and chapter 8 environmental health and sanitation article 1 in general section 8 1 hazardous fences this item was endorsed by the health social and environmental affairs committee on August 22nd 2023 this is the modification of our ordinances to allow for the grazing of goats and council member y'all got any questions miss Herbert you needed one amendment that we can put on before second reading yes I didn't know if I needed to defer to the committee I think it would be okay for us to add in that language before the second reading but just for I know August feels like a while ago but I think the council member and environmental affairs committee received an overview of this process and we feel confident that it is a sustainable and affordable way to clear up land and with the right I think awareness and notification to neighbors this could be a really awesome tool for different communities to use and move that we approve it and provide the language now so that it can be a part of the first reading the additional language would be notwithstanding the proceeding prohibition the use of one jewel or less low impedance pulse tight properly grounded this for you properly grounded energizers and electrified low voltage fencing shall be allowed if permitted pursuant to a prescribed grazing permit as provided for in city code section four dash 37 so I move to approve it with the addition of that language I can second that okay any further discussion by council we have to open the public hearing shake them don't say much you got the votes I just wanted to thank you all councilmen and councilwomen for allowing me to speak we started this back the middle of August since then Green Goat Land Management LLC has became a federal contractor we worked for the Coast Guard in Charleston during that time they had a congressional delegation come out Dehec liked it better than using chemical means didn't have any problems with our fencing or energizers because they were properly grounded I wanted to thank everyone that put in the hard work for this I wanted to name some specifically I don't think that you all get enough credit I think you only hear the complaints not the bragging the health social and environmental affairs committee that I met at I want to thank Robert Anderson and staff I want to thank Clint Shealy the assistant city manager Victoria Riles and Maryam Drum from Animal Control y'all are talking about the signage that is required I wanted y'all you know you see everything on paper but sometimes y'all don't see a physical example you know I got to have my little logo over there I wanted to answer any questions y'all had I think we fine Jacob.

Public input. Okay. Right. We have at this time Mr. Wade Fullmer. Mr. Fullmer. Good afternoon. Thank you very much for having these meetings. As I prepared to come before you today, and I was here last month, we celebrated Veterans Day 10 days ago. I am a Vietnam Bronze Star Veteran infantry. And the issue is non-enforcement of nuisance code by animal control. When this started, the marking period, I was 73. I am now 75. This went on for two years, and it has de-escalated some, but it continues. I have sought help from not only animal control, which was ineffective during that two-year period. In August of last year, I sought the help of the police department chief and his officers because animal control was ineffective and Columbia City Police and dispatch were being responsive to the extent that they could. So nuisance allowing or permitting animal to bark, whine, how excessive or an untimely fashion to result in serious annoyance or interference with the reasonable use and enjoyment of personal property. A noise subverts, endangers, safety, health, welfare, comfort, repose. Whether violations are intermittent, cyclical, or recurring nature. There is plenty of code there. I could not get animal control to write a single ticket in 17 months until the 17 months. They wrote it after 17 months because I had gone to the Columbia Police Department and met with them at a pinnacle time in the middle of the two years to include June, July, August of 2022. Things did escalate again, but it's not a matter of if but when such violations will occur. So as I thought more around preparing to come in and as a veteran and veterans day and the city did honor specifically, more specifically on Vietnam veterans this year, I thought to myself last week and in the last few days I've had to listen to this dog, the owner's dog. I've had to listen to abusive profanity because I did what I was told to do both by animal control and the police department, meaning report to dispatch and try to get help. I've had to listen to all of that and it occurred to me, me being infantry in Vietnam, I served with the 82nd and 101st Airborne I've had to listen to this dog intermittently for two years twice as long as my duty in Vietnam and it was a situation there wasn't a matter of if but when would something happen again. So it's not just a veterans issue. If people cannot get sleep if these barkings are occurring especially after bedtime until midnight and until three o'clock in the morning especially on the weekends and I have gotten assistance from the Columbia Police Department, they have logs, they have incident reports but they're not the ticketing authority. The barking has deescalated some, it's still continuing. I want somebody to ask some questions such as the ticket was finally written on August, on February the 2nd after the weekend when there was dog barking continuously from Saturday night at ten minutes to eleven till three in the morning when I came when the owner came home. You don't sleep with the barking going on.  So I had gone to bed early that night because I had four biopsies here, I wasn't feeling well and because of the on and off and the interminacy of the barking and everything there it was and after twenty minutes I just said out loud it's happening again not tonight. I'm feeling terrible. It was a cold night Columbia Police Department responded again. Their officer Gunner came out, made a body cam. He and another officer had responded before. Other officers had responded at different times. Those records are there. Again they do not have the ticketing authority of animal control. Animal control has been no help except February 2nd when because Chief Holbrook did what he said a year ago I can get you help and we'll help and we'll look into the situation and I will, my words, encourage animal control to do its job. You have three minutes and I think you've used that. So I have spoken with my councilman Mr. Brennan and this morning I had a very good discussion with Mr. Anderson and there are problems. I would just end with saying animal control is a mess. They're not doing your job and it's causing problems with health for not only me but anyone who has to listen to that. Thank you very much. Thank you for your service. Do I hear a motion to adjourn? Anybody else? No sir, not at this time. Anybody want to make the motion? Madam Clerk it was unanimous. Thank you. Duly noted. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Happy Thanksgiving.


Oh, welcome to our session, the future of the next collaboration on development of adaptation from Japan. I have actually the script, but I try to speak English by myself. I'm Yohei Suzuki from the Cybertross Corporation, and I'm joined by many basket from the Alliance Always Foundation. Well, to start and briefly, I discuss about, you know, collaboration between the Cybertross and the Always Foundation, and I've been some mainly talk more, you know, about Almaniacs and the Foundation things. I think it's, we will show the, what do you say, we affect the focus on and how we are shaping our future. Oh, again, my name is Yohei Suzuki. I'm from the Cybertross. I'm, you know, I actually over 20 years, actually the experience in the, you know, persuading and monetizing and struggling based on the OSS business. It's a kind of, you know, exciting, but it really hard. And I'm, you know, I'm proudly and deeply involved with Almaniacs and the Miracle Innex Fusion. And Miracle Innex is a Red Hat Compatible OS in Japan since 2000. It's a significant part of this history, this part. I think it's Miracle Innex is kind of, you know, sounds a little bit, a little bit unique for the English people, I think. Sometimes ask me why the Miracle Innex is. This is because I just want to explain that the Miracle Innex is at the 2000. We're working in Japan. I founded the Miracle Innex Corporation. And they release Miracle Innex distribution. So name after Oracle, Oracle Miracle and Miracle Innex. That's it. So now let me introduce Benny-san a little bit for you to introduce yourself. So I'm Benny. I know that most of you are not here to hear my story. So I'm going to be brief. I have been an assistant for a number of years. I've been involved in open source. I moved from tech into community building. So that's where you'll see me mostly now. I love Star Wars. If you have noticed, my earrings are Millennium Falcons today. You can find me, if you have questions, you can either talk to us here. Obviously, you can find me on the internet. I realize we're not supposed to call it Twitter anymore, but that's fine. I'll just leave it there. Thank you, Benny-san. Okay, again, let's dive into our collaboration with Star Wars Foundation. As a collaboration with Cybertrust, we take a big step by combining our Miracle Innex with Armour Innex. It's really kind of a big decision for us. Back in May, we are proud to announce that Cybertrust has become a platinum member of the Armour Innex OS Foundation. Since then, I've been deploying our engineer to this Armour Innex community, like Madsen and the other people. We are totally fully committed to the Armour Innex Foundation as well as this community. Our goal is to create Red Hat Compatible OS to meet global standards of the Japanese quality. It's my goal. Okay, let's talk about refuelling, reflecting our Miracle Innex achievement. Actually, the Miracle Innex has been supported critical systems, especially for the industry system. For over 20 years, I think that is the experience and track record. Well, it definitely strengthened to the community continuity, I think. Miracle Innex is, as you already know, business-oriented OS. Like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we worked hard to maintain with independent software vendors and independent hardware vendors to get their certification. It's really hard. It's the same for the Armour Innex. We decided to establish the Certification Siege to develop and strengthen the relationship with these vendors. Actually, the server trust is specialized in long-term support and OS' compriances. I think this OS' summit, some server trust engineer already presentation, we are focused on OS' comprising also. I think Armour Innex also focus on achieving FIPS 143 compliance and also providing software boom also. I believe that we aim to fully use cyber trust expertise like Linux things and compliance things in Armour Linux. That's what I want to talk about. Thank you. We want to cover it over to the Benison. You can start in a minute. Okay, so we're going to talk about our history, how we came to be. We're going to talk about, we'll just dive in, right? Anybody who has been around the Red Hat ecosystem for a while knows that this is kind of what we had for many, many years. It would start in Fedora, the playground, the testing, the proving grounds. They would get pulled down into Red Hat with a regular release and then CentOS would rebuild Red Hat, right? For many, many years. In 2019, CentOS introduced this thing called CentOS Stream. CentOS Stream sits between Fedora and Red Hat. It allows earlier adoption of the operating system. It allows deeper testing than has historically happened, but it's not the downstream version of CentOS, right? And then in December of 2020, Red Hat announces that they are shifting all of the resources that have historically been part of CentOS to CentOS Stream, effectively killing CentOS Linux. As a community, we all felt that change very strongly at its peak. CentOS had, I saw a number somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 million servers online. That is a huge community to just be left adrift. So our founder, the person behind our Genesis Igor, who was the CEO of Cloud Linux announced he would be backing CentOS replacement. That announcement happened in January of 2021. And by March, we had a board, we had a foundation, we had released our first version, and we were ready to go. Our initial board is made up of appointees, obviously, because without a foundation, you have to appoint people. But the group of people that Igor pulled together were technologists, were people that had been in the Red Hat ecosystem for a while, were people that were experts on open source because those people together made sure that what we set up was going to be stable and what we needed for long-term growth. We pulled our sub-initial sponsors, those were the ones we launched with, and very shortly we added ARM and High Velocity and Equinix. They together gave us the hardware or the funds, the people that we needed to get an operating system off the ground. Since then, we have added another 25 sponsors, this is what it looks like today. And all of the people up here, all of the companies up here, are invested in the future of AMA Linux for one reason or another. This is what our adoption rate looks like. This is current as of three days ago, I think. We were just talking about how in July of this year, I had made a slide that looks similar to this that had 600 or 500,000 as the number of servers that we're calling home to our mirror system every night. And since July, we've added 200,000 more. So obviously, we are filling in need. This data is pulled from our mirror system. So in early 2022, or late 2021 technically, we added count me data. Essentially, when a server calls home once a week to update its DNF database, it says, hi, I'm online. That is an optional flag, so it doesn't happen every time. It is a, or it doesn't happen with every server. And if a company or organization has their own mirror, we don't see those. So these are just the servers that we know of that are online. Obviously massive growth. There's been some exciting moments in there. In the last two and a half years, we have done a lot. This is a very brief look at what we've covered. The most interesting thing about this slide to me is that as we look at this list, everything here is done because someone in our community needed it. This isn't, we're not corporate driven because we're a community operating system. So this isn't a feature request from a customer that comes in and says, we need this thing. This is all somebody in our community wanted to add or wanted to see support for this thing. Number two, we'll get to you in a second. But before eight, nine and nine, three, we had gotten so good that our releases were within a day or two of Red Hat. As you look at this list, you will see that primarily what we're doing is solving the pain points that we had as users with CentOS. Release times, support, like architecture support, that kind of stuff. Make sure there's nothing I want to point out specifically. No, I think we're good. Lots of extremely cool stuff up there. So we took up the charge. We were offering an operating system as soon as we could from March of 2021 to June of 2023.  I'm going to go back here. No, not going to go back. We're just going to go forward. In June of 2021, I am certain most of you have seen this update. This was Mike McGrath from Red Hat announcing that they would no longer be releasing Red Hat sources, Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources to get.centos.org like they always had. This broke our build pipeline without question. We had been doing no longer worked, but that was true for everyone who was trying to rebuild Red Hat, right? The thing about this, when we saw this come out, what we knew immediately was that we had to take our time to make a stable, long-term, forward-looking decision. We took a couple of weeks to talk to all of the people in our community, all of the people that would be impacted by our decision to understand exactly what they needed from us. What they ultimately needed wasn't exactly Red Hat. What they needed was Red Hat compatible. So that gave us a bunch of freedom. Red Hat compatible, from our perspective, means that we are using CentOS Stream repositories as our upstream in 99% of the cases. I'll fudge the numbers a bit. Our lead architect is in the back. He's going to correct me. But nearly all cases, we're using CentOS Stream as our upstream. We are pulling in any patches that we can't get from CentOS Stream, from other sources that we consider legal or acceptable. We are 100% laser focused on making sure that there are no breaking changes from Red Hat to Omelonix, because what we heard time and again is if I have an application that works on Red Hat, I need it to work on Omelonix. That's the line. Obviously, maintaining, continuing to maintain the things that people have also countered on us for, which are stability, speed, and security. Everything that we've been able to do, we pull 99% of the code, like I said, from CentOS Stream, and that means that nearly all of the code is exactly what Red Hat has anyway. Less than 1% of the code differs, and nearly all of that is in the kernel. So you're not going to see drastic differences between us and what you get with Red Hat, and that's the point, right? We need enterprise Linux that's stable long-term for our users. We've also had the ability to add new stuff since June. We added another repository that has packages that are unique to Omelonix. We can get in a little bit into what they will be. The goal with the Synergy repo is not to duplicate anything that exists in Apple. If you are using the extra packages for enterprise Linux repo, you won't have any conflicts. We've committed to that. This is just additional packages that our users might want. We also added a testing repo, so as we can now release additional things ahead of time, we get them tested. I only listed three here. I think there are five or six different times that we have added patches ahead of Red Hat, and added and been able to release. Security patches, those first two especially, are critical for the users that are picking up Omelonix, and those two we released almost a week ahead of Red Hat. The reasons are very practical on the Red Hat side, why they move slower than we do, but we were able to build and test and get them out the door ahead of time. Even just Monday, there was a kernel patch that we put out that was requested by somebody in our community that it currently sounds like that patch won't land until 8.10, but it causes instability. It is a bug that causes instability for people who are using large amounts of memory, and we wanted to be able to release that ahead of time, so we did. That's the kind of stuff that we get to do. I think, yeah, I'm going to hand it back to Suzuki-san. You're so quick. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for the insight, for the overview of the Omelonix, history and ongoing achievement. Let's look at commitment to stability and security in the post-SATO SL. This is a big topic in Japan, actually. We will show how Omelonix keeps the next strengths, as well as, you know, these stability and the security, this part. Omelonix breaching stability and security in business. Well, I believe that Omelonix is all about integrity. This is a point, I think. We aim to be generous and easy to understand OS, which is compatible with our Red Hat, actually. We know some are concerned about switching from the center OS. Our objective is to give Japanese businesses a Linux option to trust us, to use easily. We follow a Red Hat policy and some rules closely. Focusing on, of course, corporate needs. That's the point. Crowdlinux and Cybertrust has over 10 years' experience, as, how do you say, commercial Linux distribution. Well, our approach might be different, but we shared commitment. You know, we shared, again, we shared the commitment to long-term supply and sticking to the regulation. That's different to the other distribution. We focus on this. We are really, you know, important to the integrity wise, actually. Again, nowadays OSS is part of nearly every business system. The big questions for the future, you know, how to use OSS software in safety. I think every audience thinks about this. The big question for the future, yeah.  We are here to provide a clear and secure choice for our Linux. Please believe us. And this is the final part. I will announce that we have the first official event. Our Linux Tokyo Day Tokyo 2023. It's happening on the December 9th at its close. Actually this weekend, Saturday. Well, you can register from the official our Linux blog site. Please register from that. Okay. We can focus on the future. Venison, she is, of course, you know, already, she's the chairman of our Linux OS Foundation. And also, Egosound, Ego Zelensky. You're not here. She is, how do you say, the Cloud Linux CEO, as well as founder of the Linux. They will share insight into the latest Linux trend and also shared some idea how to survive post-Android error. This is the point. So, please join us. And I'm looking forward to seeing you there. And then talk with you and drink some with you. I am really waiting for you, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, thank you very much. And we have still have 10 minutes. All right. Q&A. Do you have any questions, please? We have, yeah, every question. And I'm going to stay Tokyo. Oh, the boost. Oh, if you have a question, please hang up. Let the hand over. Please. So Project Elevate. Did it just turn off again? No. Okay. Okay. So Project Elevate allows you to upgrade from CentOS 7 to Almalinix 8 in place. So if you have, again, we're solving the pain points that we as CentOS users had, right? So you can upgrade in place between major versions. And I know that that application, that upgrade project, has been used a ton. So my favorite example is an Internet provider in the U.S. that used it to upgrade 50,000 servers. So I know for sure it works. There are certainly caveats and there are hurdles. But we have an amazing community that will provide support for it, too. Okay. You mean U.S. have experience is from CentOS 7 upgrade to Almalinix is 1500,000? 50. 50. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. And it's more than that. If you get to 8 and you need to upgrade again, you can upgrade in place from 8 to 9. And because we are so community focused, if you want to go from 7 to 8, we support going from CentOS 7 to Almalinix 8 or Rocky 8 or Oracle 8 or wherever you want to go. Because we care about keeping things open and collaborative. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. We have the kind of expression seminar in the Almalinix Day Tokyo this December, this weekend. So maybe if you are interested in that, you can please join Almalinix Day Tokyo. It's free. It's not commercial, but our partner has a solution to migrate from CentOS 7 to whatever, that's 8 or 9 things. There is some solution. So they explain the solution about this. If you are interested in that, please join us. Thank you. Matt? No? Ah, Kurosawa-san? Do you have any questions? Of course. Sure. So our relationship with Red Hat is good. We are, if you think about it, we don't exist without them, right? So we continue to work with them as we can and as they allow. We are doing as they've asked with the change to using CentOS Stream as our upstream and pulling sources from places that they allow. Made the difficult but important choice to not violate their user agreements in how we get our code. And that, I mean, that goes a long way to building a better relationship, right? Yeah. And on a personal level, we know these people and have for years. So we're still friends. Yeah, including Egor. It's difficult, isn't it? Personally, we have a relationship with Red Hat people. You know, with Benji-san and Egor-san. And I already explained that. We don't, you know, we just want to, you know, I want to Red Hat policy and their rule. I want to protect their rule and the policy.  So we don't, you know, fight each other. We want to do each other. It's at that point. This is a difference for them. You know, I don't see the other distribution things, but it's a point. Oh, okay. Mr. Takadori-san. I have to add the comment about that. As far as, I'm Saibatras Ospo, a leading person. And as far as I read the comment on Reddit, as MacGrath, the guy, Red Hat person, wrote the blog, the Red Hat blog. He wrote about the Armory Lacks is doing the, using the center stream as the upstream, as the Red Hat said. So, at least as far as I read the comment on Reddit, the MacGrath wrote, he looks, it's good. Because the Armory Lacks is following what Red Hat said. So, as far as at that point, Armory Lacks is following what Red Hat said and keeping the good relation with Red Hat. So, because of that, as a position, I said, this is good relation to join to this project. So, I think because of that, our company joined to the Armory Lacks. Thank you. The big point is, center stream is, center is the 80s, and next May, right? This is a point, I think. I don't know, computers, right?  Does that answer your question? Yes, thanks a lot. Yes, no problem. Thank you for asking. We have three more minutes. No, I will cut it off and we'll say, if you have more questions, you can't talk to us here. You have to come on Saturday. I think we're good. Yeah, thank you all for coming. Thank you.

A warm welcome to the 41st session of the second module in the course signals and systems and we continue to discuss the differentiation with multiplication by independent variable duality here. In fact, we had not quite shown the duality in the previous session, but now we will do so explicitly. So, we had promised to write down the two properties that we had discussed in the previous session together to see them at once together and to identify the duality there and we will do that first. So, we said that if xt has the Fourier transform capital X of omega, then dx t dt we derived all this in the previous session. dx t dt has the Fourier transform j omega x omega and minus j t xt has the Fourier transform dx omega d omega. Of course, we can always write down corresponding expressions or properties with the cycles per second frequency and I leave it to you as an exercise to do that. I am going to now give you that exercise, but before that let us identify the duality here. Let us look at this and this. Here you have a differentiation in time and here you have a differentiation in frequency and correspondingly, here you have a multiplication by the frequency and you have a multiplication here point twice by time. So, there is a duality here, duality meaning reversal of roles. When you differentiate in time, you multiply point wise in frequency. When you differentiate in frequency, you multiply point wise in time. Of course, there are small adjustments, there is a minus sign there and so on, but those are minor. In fact, now I am going to give you as I said two exercises to do. Let me write down these two exercises. Exercise one is derive corresponding properties for these cycles per second frequency and the hint is begin from the equation x t is of course, the inverse Fourier transform, but written in terms of the cycles per second frequency. Now, please remember I must emphasize this again. When we write down x f, do not interpret this as x omega with omega replaced by f. It is in fact, x omega with omega replaced by 2 pi f. So, as I said it is a notational abuse which we shall do somewhat freely in this subject because we sometimes need to talk about cycles per second frequency and sometimes about angular frequency. So, we do not want to confuse, but it is little bit of liberty that we are taking.  So, I leave it to you. So, you can do the same thing. So, you can differentiate both sides with respect to t and carry out all the subsequent working and the other exercise I am going to give you is exercise two, derive one property from the other by duality in the following. So, this is one and this is the other. So, what I mean in this exercise is you of course, have these two properties derived independently that is all right, but you know the basic principle of duality. If let me write that principle down once again to remind you. So, duality said that if x t has the Fourier transform capital X of omega, then capital X of t has the Fourier transform 2 pi small x minus omega. Now, what I am saying is use this to derive one from the other. Now, anyway we have seen it in formally you know we have seen it intuitively there. There are two operations on one side you have a differentiation operation and you have a multiplication by the independent variable operation and they are equivalent. So, if I do one operation in one domain, the other operation gets done in the other domain that we have seen that is what duality is all about. You can of course, formally derive it by duality as I have asked you to do in this particular exercise, but once you do that you will be convinced even mathematically that they are dual, but informally it is clear. Now, let us take an example to see how the differentiation property can simplify our work at times. So, for example, let us go back to the famous rectangular pulse and let us see what happens when we take the derivative property there. So, let us find out again the Fourier transform of our famous rectangular pulse with an amplitude of a going from minus capital T to plus capital T this is x t. So, its Fourier transform is of course, as usual minus t I am skipping a couple of steps a times e raised to power minus t omega t dt. So, you can simplify this it becomes 2 j a sin omega t divided by j omega and I can multiply and divide by t and cancel the j's and that leaves me with 2 a t sin omega t by omega t. Now, let us take the derivative of this. So, in fact, I will show the derivative right there first in a different color. Let me show you the derivative in green. How would dx t dt look? You see of course, in the conventional sense dx t dt would not exist because the right in the left derivative would not be equal, but then here you could use the idea of impulses. So, dx t dt would essentially have 2 impulses 1 impulse located here of strength a and 1 impulse located here of strength minus a. Let me draw this derivative now and impulse of strength a at minus t and an impulse of strength minus a at plus t this is dx t dt. It is very easy to calculate its Fourier transform. Well, let us call this equal to g t, g t is equal to dx t dt. So, what is its Fourier transform minus infinity to plus infinity as usual g t e raise to the power minus j omega t, but then g t just has 2 impulses and the impulse is simply pick up the values of those functions remaining functions remaining integrand at the points where the impulse lie. So, you have a times e raise to the power minus j omega into minus t minus a times e raise to the power minus j omega into t. This is the Fourier transform which we can now simplify. So, it is a times 2 j sin omega t so simple and now you can see what is happening here. So, if I multiply this by j omega indeed gives this you know any way the t's would cancel as they are we just introduce them for convenience and the 2 a is there as it is here and the j comes in and the omega goes away because of this. So, you can see that multiplying this by j omega gives this. So, we verified the differentiation property for the rectangular parts. Now, in this case of course differentiation gave you impulses. So, you have to do a little bit of work to think what would happen, but now let me give you an example where use of the differentiation property will actually make your calculation of the Fourier transform easy and I am going to leave some of the details to you as an exercise. Let me take a triangular pulse. So, there we go. Now, there are 2 ways in which we can find the Fourier transform. We can find the Fourier transform by the differentiation property. So, let us call this x t as usual and let us sketch d x t d t. In fact, let me do it on the same graph, but in a different color. So, this rises from 0 to a in time t. So, its slope is a by t that is easy to see. There is a positive slope of a by t here and a negative slope of a by t here I have sketched the derivative on the same graph and you can see it is very easy to calculate this for the Fourier transform of the green function. Let me do it for you. It is essentially integral from minus t to 0 a by t that is a constant e raised to the power minus j omega t d t plus integral from 0 to capital T minus a by t times e raised to the power minus j omega t d t easy to evaluate. You can do it. I leave it to you as an exercise. And therefore, the Fourier transform of the triangular pulse is essentially 1 by j omega times this. So, Fourier transform of triangular pulse multiplied by j omega is equal to this Fourier transform. So, we can easily calculate the Fourier transform of the triangular pulse. We will see more in the next session. Thank you.
