The city is planning to contract with local minister Mike Feely for programs involving Hispanics and the homeless.
A City Council resolution calls for Rev. Feely to be paid $22,000 per year.
He recently served as an interim City Council member for District 6.
The contract is for him "to coordinate initiatives and act as a liaison with Hispanic and homeless populations of Chattanooga to establish and nurture relationships with organizations representing the rights and/or interests of said populations."
