THOSE WHO HAVE NO HOMES, THOSE WHO ARE ILL IN BODY, MIND, OR SPIRIT.
THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO OUR COMMUNITY AND IMMIGRANT TO OUR COUNTRY.
THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE MARGINS, THOSE WHO ARE ALONE, AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY ARE FORGOTTEN.
GRANT THEM IN US THE WISDOM AND COURAGE TO KNOW AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND GOOD AND TRUE.
MAY THEY, AND WE SPEAK OUT WHEN IT IS TIME TO SPEAK OUT AND LISTEN PATIENTLY AND RECEPTIVELY.
WHEN IT IS TIME TO LISTEN, MAY THEY, AND WE ALWAYS BE GUIDED BY THE SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY, BY THE SPIRIT OF JUSTICE AND THE SPIRIT OF LOVE.

UH, FOR MORE INFORMATION OR IF YOU WANT TO SIGN UP ONLINE, PLEASE VISIT, UM, OUR WEBSITE OR CONTACT THE ARIZONA BURN FOUNDATION.
WELL, AS WE ALL KNOW, UH, FEBRUARY IS, UH, BLACK HISTORY MONTH, AND TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COUPLE OF HIGHLIGHTS.
YOU MIGHT ASK YOURSELF, WHY DO WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THESE TWO PEOPLE, UH, THAT CAME FROM CHANDLER.
WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK HISTORY, IT'S BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE DONE THINGS THAT ARE EXTRAORDINARY.
AND THEN IN MONTH OF FEBRUARY, IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR US TO REMEMBER THAT I'M GONNA START FIRST WITH OUR, ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS MAYOR, COY PAYNE.
HE WAS ONE OF CHANDLER'S MOST INFLUENTIAL, INFLUENTIAL BLACK HISTORY MAKERS.
HE WAS AN EDUCATOR IN CHANDLER SCHOOLS FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS.
HE SERVED TWO TERMS ON THE CHANDLER CITY COUNCIL BEFORE BEING THE FIRST BLACK MAYOR OF THE CITY IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF ARIZONA.
AND SO WE APPLAUD HIM FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT HE HAVE DONE TO PUT CHANDLER ON THE MAP.
THE SECOND PERSON THAT WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT TODAY IS Z FOLEY.
SO FOLEY FAMILY MOVED TO CHANDLER, UH, SOUTHSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD IN 1942, WHERE HE ATTENDED THE SEGREGATED
HE JOINED THE ARMY IN 1948 AND FOUND HIS LOVE FOR BOXING.
HE WAS A WELL-KNOWN BOXER AND FOUGHT MOHAM ALI AND LASTED SEVEN ROUND BEFORE BEING KNOCKED OUT.
NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT.
AND SO HE IS A PRIDE MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY.
HE WAS APPOINTED TO THE CHANDLER CITY COUNCIL AND SERVE A SHORT TIME, TIME OR TERM, I THINK TERM BEFORE HE DIED IN 1972.
HIS FAMILY STILL RESIDE HERE IN CHANDLER.
AND, UH, WE COULD SEE THEM, UH, I THINK, UH, LAST MONDAY, MAYOR, YOU DID A PROCLAMATION ALSO FOR THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND THEY HAVE MADE AN INFLUENTIAL IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND THAT HAS MADE CHANDLER GREAT TODAY.
WE, THE CHANDLER PEOPLE AND THOSE WHO STILL LIVE HERE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, WE ARE CONTINUING TO BE AN INCLUSIVE AND A DIVERSE CITY.
SO I WANNA THANK EVERYBODY, FOLKS HELPING US TO CELEBRATE BLACK BLACK HISTORY MONTH THIS MONTH.
SO, COUNCIL MEMBER, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE PUT OUR NOTES ON THIS SPEAKER, UH, WHEN WE PUT OUR NOTE ON THE SPEAKER COUNCIL, OUR VOICE VICE MAYOR.
UM, COUNCIL MAYOR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THOSE KIND WORDS ON, UH, KOI PAYNE.
UH, I HAD THE, I HAD THE HONOR, THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVANT PAYNE FOR FOUR YEARS.
[00:10:01]
MAN OF INTEGRITY.AND, UM, I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHERE THE CITY OF CHANDLER NEEDED MORE POLICE OFFICERS, AND HE WAS NOT AFRAID TO BRING THIS FORWARD TO THIS DAIS.
NOT HERE PERSONALLY, BUT OUR PREVIOUS COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
AND HE WAS BOLD ENOUGH TO SAY, WE'RE GOING TO RAISE A SALES TAX SO THAT WE CAN GET MORE POLICE OFFICERS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE A POLITICIAN TODAY BEING AS BOLD AS, AS GRACIOUS AS MR. PAYNE WAS.
MR. PAYNE WAS ALSO THE FIRST CITY CHANNEL, WAS ALSO THE FIRST CITY TO HONOR MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY BECAUSE MR. PAYNE, AND FINALLY, MR. PAYNE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY, REALLY GOT TO ME WAS WE HAD A SQUALOR APARTMENT DOWN TO OLD ELGIN STREET APARTMENTS DOWN NOT TOO FAR FROM THIS CITY HALL.
PEOPLE WERE LIVING IN, IN, I'M, I'M LITERALLY, I SAW IT THAT NIGHT, RATS AND CESSPOOL.
AND WE TRIED HARD TO GET THE LANDLORD OWNER TO FIX IT AND REPAIR IT AND GET THOSE RESIDENTS THE PROPER CARE THEY NEEDED.
WHEN THOSE TEMP TEMPS FAILED, MR. PAYNE WENT BACK TO THE CITY MANAGER THAT DAY, AND I WAS RIGHT THERE WITNESSING.
THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT LIVE IN SQUALOR.
AND WE CONDEMNED THAT BUILDING, KNOCKED IT DOWN, AND WE MOVED FORWARD AND PUT THOSE PEOPLE IN PROPER ATTIRE.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT FORWARD.
I REMEMBER MY TIME WITH HIM TOO, BECAUSE AS A MATTER OF FACT, 2013, HE WAS THE FIRST ONE WHO LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, GO DO THIS.
AND I, I, I ALSO WANNA SAY JUST, AND I REALLY DON'T SAY, SAY AFTER OR HAVE COMMENTS, SO I'M GONNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT FOR NOW.
I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT I DID HAVE A CHANCE TO SERVE WITH PHIL WESTBROOK, ANOTHER HONORARY, UH, AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND OF COURSE MY TWO COLLEAGUES HERE.
SO OUT OF THE FIVE, UM, BLACK AMERICANS THAT PUT ON THIS DIAS, I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING WITH FOUR OF 'EM.
AND WE ARE PROUD TO SERVE WITH YOU, SIR.
WELL, YOU'RE JUST UP BUT ME TONIGHT, AREN'T YOU? ONE UP ME, MAN.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.
FINALLY, ON A, UM, A GREAT NOTE.
UH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH, IT FROM 10 TO 3:00 PM WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL CHA INNOVATION FAIR.
NOW, THIS FAIR HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE MANY YEARS NOW, AND LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST YEAR WE INVITED THE CHANDLER SCHOOL DISTRICT TO JOIN OUR FAIR AS AN INNOVATION.
UH, IT'S FUN-FILLED HANDS-ON EXPLORATION OF SCIENCE.
I MEAN, IF THE KIDS, IF YOUR KIDS DON'T GET A, A, A, A JOY OUT OF THIS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD GET 'EM HAPPY.
UM, AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S TO CREATE CREATIVITY AND INTRODUCE OUR YOUNG, UH, RESI OUR YOUNG KIDS TO A MORE, UH, TO SCIENCE AND STEM PROJECTS.
I KNOW MANY OF YOU WILL BE THERE.
SO IF YOUR BUSINESS, UH, ALSO, IF YOUR BUSINESS INTERESTED IN SHOWCASING THE SNEAKY SCIENCE OF YOUR OPERATION, YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE CONTACT THE CITY, UH, ODENT MOORE AT THE CHANDLER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, 4 8 0 7 8 2 3 0 3 8, OR VISIT US ONLINE.
UH, AND I WANNA THANK YOU ALL THE CORPORATE SPONSORS.
WE'VE BEEN INCREASING THAT EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST, UH, THREE OR FOUR YEARS.
EVERY TIME YOU TELL A STORY ABOUT MAYOR UH PAYNE, IT'S ALWAYS, IT'S ALWAYS BETTER THAN THE LAST.
SO THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO SHARE THOSE STORIES.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR BUDGET WORKSHOPS FOR THE CITY.
AND SO EVERY YEAR WE SIT IN A ROOM AND WE, WE HASH OUT WHERE THE REVENUES ARE COMING IN, WHERE THE DOLLARS ARE GOING OUT.
AND, AND THE ONE GREAT THING IS, IS THAT THIS YEAR WE'VE GOTTEN OVER 1300 RESPONSES FROM OUR RESIDENTS ON WHERE THEY WANNA SEE THEIR, THEIR DOLLARS SPENT.
AND I THINK, I THINK THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM THIS IS THAT THEY, THEY TRUST US WITH THEIR DOLLARS.
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE DOLLARS THAT WE BRING IN ARE USED FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ITEMS, RIGHT? WE WANT TO HAVE GOOD ROADS, WE WANT THE GRASS CUT AT THE PARKS, BUT, BUT IMPORTANTLY, WE WANT PUBLIC SAFETY TO BE AT, AT THE HIGHEST.
AND SO WE ARE GONNA CONTINUE TO COMMIT TO THAT.
WE HAD A GREAT WORKSHOP TODAY OVER THOSE THINGS ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE THE AMENITIES, IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE, INVEST IN WATER AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIND FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WAYS TO DO THAT.
AND WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, UH, WE WILL, WE WILL TRIM THE BUDGET WHERE WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND IT.
WE WILL WHERE IT'S NEEDED, UH, BUT WE, UH, HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND.
AND THEN LASTLY, UM, YOU KNOW, TOMORROW NIGHT IS A NIGHT OF HOPE, AND IT'S A CONGLOMERATION OF A HUNDRED CHURCHES IN THE, IN THE PHOENIX AREA, UM, LAW, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS, UM, MATTER OF FACT, OUR ASSISTANT CHIEF WILL BE ON A PANEL THERE TOMORROW TALKING ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
UM, THERE WILL BE FORMER N F NFL PLAYERS AND ATHLETES, UH, AS WELL AS, UH, ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM AROUND THE STATE WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE AT GAM ARENA AT 6:00 PM TOMORROW.
