Here are the top three stories in Chattanooga today:

1. Hamilton County Schools has announced a reorganized structure of its Talent Department. The structure change is meant to improve the department's customer service and efficiency. The project will include new hires, position transfers, and personnel realignment. (Press Release Desk)
2. The Chattanooga Police Department responded to North Chattanooga Chamber Council business owners' concerns of "threats" from the homeless population in the area. "If you are a victim of something that is committed by a homeless person, we need you to not only file a report but come to court on it," said CPD Lieutenant Heather Williams. "If we don't have a victim, we can't prosecute." The department reports it has increased bicycle patrols through areas experiencing an increase in homeless activity. (WDEF News 12)
3. The Chattanooga City Council adopted a plan to revitalize the Westside community during its Tuesday meeting. The plan will be implemented over the next 10 years. Over 82 percent of the area's residents participated in the formation of the plan. The plan will require $3 million to implement and will be provided through the federal American Rescue Plan funds.
