[ AGENDA CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZENS ACTION COMMISSION City Hall - Council Chambers 6131 Taylorsville Road September 2, 2021 7:00 P.M. ]
COMMISSION OR SENSITIVE, OR THE TODAY IS CALLED TO ORDER AT SEVEN.UM, MS. STEVENS, MS. SULLIVAN, MR.
MS. HANUKKAH, MS. NEWBY, MS. MR. RAMIREZ, MR. RICHARDSON, HEIR AND MR. STEVENSON, THE RECORD REFLECT THAT MR. RAMIREZ AND MS. HONAKER.
DO WE HAVE ANY MINUTES FOR THE MINUTES FROM JULY 1ST, MADAM CHAIR? I DO HAVE ONE AMENDMENT.
ON PAGE 10, UNDER THE 2022 EMISSION EVENTS CALENDAR.
THERE'S A SENTENCE THAT STARTS WITH ANOTHER GUEST SPOKE UP, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
THE NAME OF THAT GUEST WAS MRS. TANYA, UM, GARMIN, I'M SORRY, NATHAN.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS READ WHAT THEY REFLECT THE AMENDMENT? ALL FAVOR, AYE.
THE MINUTES WILL STAY IN WITH THE WOMEN THAT MOVE ON TO COMMITTEE REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OUTREACH, AND THEN GO DOWN THE LINE HERE.
OUTREACH COMMITTEE MET ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 24TH, UH, FOR A BRIEF MEETING.
UM, WE DISCUSSED THE A U ROUTES HEIGHTS COFER FESTIVAL, WHICH IS GOING TO BE HELD ON JUNE 25TH, 2022 FROM 12 TO SIX.
UM, WE DID OVER SOME OF THE PLANNING ACTIVITIES AND SIGNING UP PARTICIPANTS.
UH, I TALKED ABOUT THE DJ CONTACT LIGHTS AND SOUND AND ALL THAT STUFF.
AND THE THINGS THAT, THAT WE WORKED ON THIS PAST YEAR FOR THE, UH, FOR THE CULTURE FIRST, BEFORE, AND I'M CITING PEOPLE FOR, FOR A CULTURAL FESTIVAL, PUT THAT SAME INVITATION OUT FOR, FOR THE PARTICIPANTS THAT WE DID LAST YEAR.
I MEAN, OTHER THAN ONCE HAD A CONCERN WITH TOLD IT, I THINK WE HAD A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF ITCH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CULTURAL FESTIVAL.
SO I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE WELL-INTENDED NEXT YEAR.
IF WE GET RID OF THIS THING YET, I'M PLANNING AN EVENT FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL EAT THE FALL EVENT, AND I'M STILL WAITING ON THAT HOUSE TO CALL ME BACK.
AND, UH, WE'LL, UH, I'LL REACH OUT TO HIM TOMORROW.
UM, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER THIS EVENT IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL THAT WE HAVE PLANTED, WE CAN MAYBE DO SOME STUFF OUTSIDE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT, AND CAN, YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOLS BEING CANCELED AND NOT MEETING THE PERSON THAT MAY AFFECT THAT AS WELL.
SO, UH, AT A MINIMUM, WE'RE GOING TO DO AN ESSAY CONTEST, BUT WE WANT TO DO SOME STUFF AROUND NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE AND, UM, IN THE LATE PART OF NOVEMBER, UM, WE DID DISCUSS, UH, FOLLOWING UP ON THE COLUMBUS DAY MAIN CHAIN WITH THE COMMISSION.
IT HAS BEEN VOTED ON BY THE COMMISSION TO RECOMMEND, UM, TO HEBREW HEIGHTS TO, UH, TO CHANGE THE NAME OF COLUMBUS DAY TO, UM, HELP ME OUT, UH, GENE, UH, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE'S DAY.
WE BROUGHT UP AND DISCUSSED, UH, STARTING THE, UH, PLANNING FOR THE MARTIN LUTHER KING CELEBRATION AND, UM, UNITY WALK IN 2022.
UM, AND WE'LL DO SOME FOLLOWUP CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT THAT ALL ENTAILS FOR THE PROGRAM.
UH, IN THE MONTHS COMING UP THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION, UH, 20, 22, JUNE 19TH, 2020 TO KICK SOME IDEAS AROUND, IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME HELP, UH, NOT JUST SOME PEOPLE IN THIS CONDITION, BUT IN GENERAL, TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT THE ROSE, IF WE COULD PUT TOGETHER, UH, AND
[00:05:01]
MAYBE KICK THAT IDEA AROUND.AND WE'LL EXPLORE THAT A LITTLE BIT THIS MONTH.
THE, UM, THAT'S A FATHER'S DAY FROM THE FESTIVAL.
IF WE CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND BRING SOME OF THOSE FOLKS THAT WERE BORN AND RAISED HERE IN THE AREA TO DO A CONCERT, AND OF COURSE WE'LL INVOLVE THE COMMISSION AND THE COUNCIL.
EVERYBODY HAD SOME CAUSE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE AWHILE AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN MORE DETAILS.
SO THE DISCUSS THE, UH, THE CULTURE FESTIVAL OF COURSE, UM, IS THAT WE CAN, WHAT WE'RE PLANNING IS A WEEK OF CULTURAL EVENTS IN BETWEEN JUNE 10TH AND THE CULTURE FESTIVAL, BUT WE WANT TO SOLIDIFY THOSE BOOKENDS FIRST, BEFORE WE START PUTTING THINGS IN THEIR WAY.
AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE YOUR OUTREACH, AS FAR AS PLANNING FOR NEXT SUMMER, ALL THE REST OF THE THINGS WOULD FALL PRETTY MUCH IN LINE WITH HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN MARTIN LUTHER KING.
UM, AND THE BIGGEST PART OF THAT IS AGAIN, SEE IF WE CAN GET THE ROSE AND FIND OUT WHO I NEED TO CONTACT TO PUT THOSE PIECES IN PLACE.
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN, DATA'S PART OF THAT, THAT WHOLE, WE CAN DO THAT FOR IN GENERAL T FOR FARMERS, THEY JUST HAPPENED TO FALL ON THE SAME DAY NEXT YEAR.
THAT'S, THAT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING.
UM, IT'S REALLY CONVINCING THE FOLKS AT THE ROADS TO ADD THAT TO THEIR SCHEDULE.
SO JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND OUR OPERATIONAL POLICY WITH THE ROSE IS THAT WE DO NOT HOLD DATES DURING THE SEASON.
SO WE ENABLE IN EMI, WHO IS OUR OPERATOR TO BOOK ANY DATE THAT ANY ARTIST WANTS, UNLESS IT'S IN CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER ARTIST FROM THE START OF THE SEASON TO THE END OF THE SEASON.
SO ONCE THE SEASON CALENDAR IS SET, THEN THAT IS THE TIME THAT THE CITY ENTERTAINS ANY REQUESTS TO UTILIZE THE VENUE OUTSIDE OF A CONVENTIONAL COUNCIL.
SO THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ENTERTAIN, UM, A, UM, AN EVENT AT THE ROSE AND SUPPORTIVE JUNETEENTH, BUT WE WOULD NOT HOLD A DATE AROUND THAT TIME SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT FUNCTION, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
SO I WENT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER MAYBE AN ALTERNATIVE LOCATION, SUCH AS THE HYPO BURGER AND AT LEAST PLAN FOR THAT SPACE.
AND THEN IN THE EVENT THAT THE ROSE DOES NOT HAVE AT, OR AROUND HERE OR THE TARGETED DATES THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO MOVE INTO THAT SCALING EVENT IF IT'S AVAILABLE FROM LIKE A WORKER TO THE ROBES TO PLAN AN EVENT FOR THE ROADS.
AND SO IF THAT, THAT MAKES SENSE, HE ASKED YOU, BECAUSE I KNOW WITH AMB, THEY DO THE, UM, OCTOBER, THE HALLOWEEN MOVIE THERE AND ROPES EVERY YEAR.
SO HOW WAS THAT POSSIBLE FOR THEM? AND SO THAT'S AFTER THE SEASON, TYPICALLY, TYPICALLY OUR LAST CONCERT IS RIGHT AROUND LABOR DAY.
SO ANYTHING THAT WOULD FALL ON THE CALENDAR AFTER LABOR DAY, TYPICALLY ANYTHING THAT FALLS INTO THE CALENDAR, LET'S CALL IT THREE MID APRIL, RIGHT? THAT'S THE TIME THAT THAT DAY IS OPEN, AVAILABLE FOR US TO CONSIDER OTHER NON-COMMERCIAL PERFORMANCES, IF YOU WILL LEARN ON NON PERFORMANCE USES.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU WOULD SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE'RE LOOKING TO TRY AND FIND WAYS INTERNALLY, WE'RE LOOKING TO FIND WAYS TO ACTIVATE THAT SPACE MORE IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER AROUND SOME OF THE MORE TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY EVENTS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE WHEREVER THE BEST, BECAUSE THAT HAPPENS OUT OF THAT CYCLE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
SO, SO THE SEASON USUALLY STARTS, UH, YOU SAID MID APRIL, CORRECT.
SO ANYTHING THAT FALLS WITHIN THAT IS GENERALLY ORGANIZED BY THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOMS. YEAH.
SO THAT IS ALL ORGANIZED AND THAT IS ALL SCHEDULED BY EMI, WHICH IS OUR CONTRACT.
AND SO THEY WON'T HOLD THOSE DATES BECAUSE THERE'S ARE THE FUCKING ARTISTS, RIGHT? IF THERE'S SOMEONE WHO'S COMING THROUGH AND THAT'S A DAY, THEY WANT TO PLAY A COUPLE OF BAD ARTISTS, BECAUSE THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT OUR POLICY IS.
THIS IS A MUSIC BRAND NEW, AND THIS IS HOW WE PAY OUR BILLS.
AND SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR FACILITY AND THE PHRASE.
SO IF YOU READ WHEREVER YOU ARE, THERE'S AN ARTICLE
[00:10:01]
VIDEO ABOUT HOW TO PHRASE LOSS SO MUCH MONEY THAT'S BECAUSE THE PHRASE HOLD STATES FORAND SO, YOU KNOW, FAMOUS ARTISTS MAY WANT TO PLAY ON THAT DAY, THAT THEY WILL TURN THE ARTISTS DOWN TO HAVE A FUN MUSIC FOR THE SISTER CITY CLUB.
AND THAT'S WHY THEY LOSE MONEY, OR WE DON'T DO THAT.
SO IS THERE A, UH, PROMOTED IT, YOU NORMALLY WORK WITH HERE IN THE RULES OR IS IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE ARTIST THOUGH.
SO
WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A CONTACT FOR TIM? WE CAN TALK AFTERWARDS, BUT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PURPOSE, I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE SINCE YOU'RE PLANNING IT, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT YOU HAVE IT ON THE CALENDAR.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER WORKING AT ANOTHER SPACE AND BEING ABLE TO MEET THAT RATHER THAN TRYING TO PLAY IT FOR THE ROWS AND THEN HAVE TO TRY AND REMEMBER, BECAUSE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THAT DATE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE, BUT WE WON'T HAVE UNTIL PROBABLY RIGHT UP UNTIL MID APRIL, LATE APRIL IS WHEN THEY DID LOOKING AT.
SO I THINK THAT'S A VERY SHORT TIME WHERE YOU USED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES WHERE YOU HAVE ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE READY TO PREPARE THE WHOLE, IT'S MUCH EASIER TO PUT OUT JUST A LOCATION CHANGE THERE, JUST TO TRY IT AND JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THAT.
UM, SO THE REFORM COMMITTEE DID NOT MEET LAST MONTH, BUT OUR LAST MEETING WAS ON A 22 JULY.
AND, UH, THE FOCUS FOR THAT MEETING WAS, UH, PERMANENTLY ON THE NEED OR THE DESIRE TO SEE A STRATEGIC PLAN PROCESS TO HIRE MORE DIVERSE, UM, POLICE WORKFORCE, I GUESS.
AND SO, UH, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UH, YOU KNOW, LOOKED AT THE POLICE REFORM.
UM, WHAT COULD IT BE POLICE DEPARTMENT? I KNOW THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A, A, UM, A TEAM THAT FOCUSES PRIMARILY ON RECRUITING.
UM, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, IF YOU WORK IN ATTORNEY INCREASE ANYWHERE, DIVERSE, UH, PEOPLE WERE SCARED AND I SAID, WE HAVE A SMALL DEPARTMENT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ACTUALLY WITHIN THE, WHAT WE HAVE IS WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS SOME WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT LOOKS AT THAT SPECIFICALLY.
BUT, UM, SO WE KNOW THAT THE CITY, I GUESS, HAS A RECRUITING PLAN AND I THINK HE'D BEEN, THERE'S JOHN WATERS FOR RECRUITING, UH, FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UM, BUT, UH, AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT DOING WAS, WELL FOR ONE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THE TIME THAT THEY RAN BACK SOME TIPS AND SOME IDEAS.
SO LOOKING AT MAYBE THE
SOME OF THAT, THAT COULD BE INCORPORATED WITHIN THE HIGH SCHOOLS DEPARTMENT.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE, WE AREN'T GOING
AND SO, UM, SO THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE GIST OF OUR CONVERSATION.
SO WE'RE PROBABLY AFTER OUR NEXT WEEK, WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE A FOLLOW-UP SESSION, BUT SHE WAS LIKE, THAT'S OKAY, WE'LL HAVE THAT NEXT CONVERSATION WITH THEM ABOUT, ABOUT THAT PLAN, BUT THAT HAD SOME QUESTIONS.
THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, ALL OF A SUDDEN MET ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, AND WE DID A RECAP OF THE, OUR FORUM THAT WAS HELD ON JULY 10.
AND FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO FIRSTLY, SAY THANK YOU TO THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND THE COMMISSION, AS WELL AS THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AS WELL FOR PARTICIPATING.
[00:15:01]
HAVE 20 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE, AS FAR AS THE HUBER HEIGHTS, DID COUNCIL MEMBERS, EVERYONE ATTENDED EXCEPT THREE DUE TO OTHER PRIOR COMMITMENTS.THAT WAS AS FAR AS OUR LIVE STREAM ON FACEBOOK, WHICH WAS A CHALLENGE AT FIRST, BUT I'M GLAD THAT WE GOT TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, THANKS TO MR. RICHARDSON.
AND THIS PURPOSE, WE HAD 272 VIEWS, WHICH IS PRETTY GOOD.
UM, THE COMMITTEE DID DISCUSS THIS FAR, HAS THE PANEL THAT WE JUST PAINTED TO EXPRESS OUR PERSONAL, THANK YOU BY SENDING THEM.
SO MADDEN CHAIR, I DO HAVE THREE, THANK YOU CARDS FOR ALL OF US TO SIGN, TO GIVE TO DR.
AND FINALLY MS. CAROL THE CARD ALSO IN REGARDS TO THE KORAN, WE DID DO A LESSONS LEARNED ASSESSMENT.
NUMBER ONE, WE DID DECIDE THAT WE HAVE TO PLAN MUCH EARLIER IN TERMS OF OUR EVENTS.
AND ALSO WE WANT TO ENGAGE THE CITY COUNCIL MORE IN THESE DISCUSSIONS.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PREPARED IN ADVANCE AS FAR AS THE CONTENT, AND ESPECIALLY FOR THIS UPCOMING FORUM, SINCE THE CITY DID VOTE ON RESOLUTION SO THAT WE FEEL THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
SO ACTUALLY THE COMMITTEE WE'RE GOING TO MEET WITH OUR PANEL, I'LL DISCUSS IN A MINUTE TO GO OVER THE CONTENT OR THE FORUM AND WHAT PERSON CONTACT EACH COUNCIL MEMBER TO GET THEM QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE IN SOME, UM, INFORMATION, RIGHT THEN AS WE COME ENGAGE GAUGE, BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT BASED ON THIS TOPIC, THERE HAS TO BE ENFORCEMENT ON POLICIES, PROCEDURES.
AND SPEAKING OF BEING ON FORUMS COMING UP, WHICH IS OCTOBER 13TH, 2021, THE TOPIC IS WHY DECLARING RACISM AS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS MATTERS OUR GUEST PANEL.
KENNEDY RICHIE AND THE LOCATION FOR THE FORUM WILL BE AT THE OLD CAMPFIRE BUILDING, WHICH I BELIEVE IS WERE HEIGHTS.
WE HAD TO SIGN UP AND I HAVE CONTACTED JOSH CANE AS FAR AS BOOKING, HELPING FACILITATE FOR THE EVENT AND TO LET THE COMMISSION KNOW, UM, AS FAR AS EVENTS RIGHT NOW BEING HELD AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL, AS AN EXAMPLE, I WANT TO SAY TUESDAY, THERE WAS A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
AND AS OF NOW, WHICH I THINK SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD THEY'RE SUSPENDING EVENTS AT ALL HOOPER HEIGHTS TO SCHOOL FACILITIES.
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.
I AM SURE IT'S A BIG PART OF IT, BUT JUST HAS AN FYI.
BUT THAT IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE WE SAVE SOMEBODY.
SO THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING.
UM, NOW I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS MAN CHAIR, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY WENT TO THE FACILITY, VARIOUS ROOMS CAN ACCOMMODATE THE NEEDS 30 TO 40 PEOPLE.
SO THERE WILL BE OUT OF THAT ROOM TO SOCIAL DISTANCE.
WE ARE GOING TO ENFORCE COVID-19 PROTOCOLS, OF COURSE.
AND, UM, I WILL BE MEETING JOSH, UM, IN SEPTEMBER TO DO A DRY RUN OF FACILITY AND THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS YOU'RE INVITED TO COME AS WELL.
ONCE I GET THE DETAILS ON THAT DAY, NOW I WILL HAVE TO SAY THAT, UM, ADVERTISEMENT 20 EVENT HAS ALREADY BEEN PUBLISHED THROUGH SOME KEY ADS AND THE TOM CLOUD PARK SIGNAGE, WHERE IT HAS ONE HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, I JUST NOTICED THAT OVER THE WEEKEND WHEN I WAS OUT WALKING THAT SAYS WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT IT DID HAVE OCTOBER 13 AND THE CURRENT TIME, 6:30 PM UNTIL 8:30 PM.
HE ALSO DISCUSSED, UM, THE ONE
[00:20:01]
FORM, BUT WE WANTED TO HAVE THE COLLABORATION WITH THE REPORT AS FAR AS HAVING A, A ONE-ON-ONE CHIEF LIGHTNER.WELL, SINCE WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM, WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THAT UNTIL THE JANUARY, 2020.
SO THE REFORM COMMITTEE AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE CAN GET TOGETHER TO COLLABORATE.
AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET FROM DATE IN JANUARY.
HE SAID HE WAS WILLING TO DO THAT.
YOU JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE QUESTIONS, RIGHT.
BECAUSE HONESTLY, WHEN I TALK TO HIM OR MAYBE SOME SCRIPTED QUESTIONS SHARED UNDERSTANDING, BUT IT'S JUST MORE TO SEE.
UM,
SO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF HE DID OR HE WAS AVAILABLE OR NOT, WE WANTED TO GIVE COMMITMENT ON THE DAY BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.
SO, YEAH, THERE'S A SEE WHAT DATA'S AVAILABLE.
WE WERE LOOKING AT MAYBE LIKE, UH, DURING THE WEEK IN THE EVENING, SOMETIME ON WEEKENDS OR WHAT, WHAT WAS THERE SOME NOTION THINKING ABOUT JANUARY NOW, BASKETBALL SEASON'S COMING UP PROBABLY DURING THE WEEK, RIGHT? SO RIGHT.
YOU GOT TO CONSIDER THE SCHEDULE BECAUSE I MEAN, VISIT, YOU HAVE KIDS THAT PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS, TRY TO AVOID SOME OF THOSE BITS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL.
I THOUGHT WASN'T A PARENT
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT THE, YEAH.
IF HE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO THE EVENT ON OCTOBER 13TH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE FORMAT FOR THAT.
WE'LL HAVE SOME PROFESSIONALS ANSWERING QUESTIONS THAT FACILITATED BY US, AND WE'LL HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT A GOTCHA MOMENT, BUT THE IDEA IS TO, IN THIS CASE TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY AWARE OF IN REGARDS TO THE CHIEFS, HOW HE SEES POLICING AND WHAT CAN WE DO BETTER? WHAT CAN THEY EVEN BETTER? AND WHAT CAN WE ALL DO BETTER TO MAKE CUPRA HEIGHTS A BETTER COMMUNITY? THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS HE HAD MENTIONED TO ME WHEN WE SPOKE WAS JUST CONCERNED ABOUT IN CONDOMS HEALING, AMBULANCE, I CAN SEE IT IN CASES WHERE, UH, THERE WAS MAYBE NAPKIN INVOLVED WITH MAYBE OTHER PLACE.
SHE, THERE WERE THESE FORUMS AND THEY WERE, I GUESS, IN CULTURAL VIOLENCE WITH CALL THEM RACIST, ALL THE TEXTS THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE HAD A HAND, I GUESS.
CAUSE WITH THESE FORUMS AND FROM WHAT WE OBSERVED OR THE ONE IN JULY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE DANCE.
AS FAR AS THE CONTACT, EXCUSE ME, THE CONTENT INSTRUCTION.
WE DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYONE OFF BAR, YOU KNOW, HEAR HIM SAY IT AGAIN.
SO TIMEFRAME YOU'RE SWINGING BECAUSE I KNOW THIS WAS AUGUST.
SO WHAT TIMEFRAME WE WERE TALKING ABOUT,
CAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO PUT TOO MUCH, YOU KNOW, ON OUR SCHEDULES RIGHT NOW AS A COMMISSION, BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY TRYING TO PLAN BIG EVENTS, YOU KNOW, IN 2022.
SO JUST THE FESTIVAL, SO YEAH,
[00:25:01]
TWO HOURS.LIKE THE OTHER FORMS. WE APPRECIATE THAT.
WE HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A DEFINITIVE TITLE YET.
NO, I WAS TRYING TO SEE UP TO BILL AND THAT WAS THE MAIN FOCUS.
SO THE FOCAL AREA WOULD BE ISN'T THE PUBLIC SPACE.
THAT'D BE CENTERED AROUND THAT.
SO WE'LL MAKE THAT MORE DEFINITIVE
AND UM, FINALLY THE COMMITTEE WE TALKED ABOUT HOW OFTEN YOU LIKE TO HAVE THESE FORMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
I KNOW THAT INITIALLY YOU SAID EVERY QUARTER OR TWICE A YEAR, BECAUSE THE COMMISSION WE'RE GOING TO BE PLANNING OTHER MAJOR EVENTS.
SO WE DON'T WANT TO FEEL OVERWHELMED OR BONDED.
I KNOW WE HAVE GOOD WORK TO DO FOR HEBREW HEIGHTS, BUT WHEN IT STARTED IS PRODUCTIVE AND EFFECTIVE AND THAT IS ALL MANAGED, SHARE, THINKING THIS MOVIE, ANY QUESTIONS
UM, WE KIND OF, WE'RE WORKING ON SOME FORMALIZATION OF THE RAPID RESPONSE PROTOCOLS AND SOME DISCUSSION OF, YOU KNOW, PROCESSES THAT WE'D LIKE TO HAVE A PLACE FOR ADVOCACY.
UM, MOSTLY WE HAD DISCUSSED, UH, DOING AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL, UM, TYPE OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY.
UM, BUT THAT WAS KIND OF LOOKING AT FOR SEPTEMBER AND IT'S JUST NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE THAT BACK, RECREATE THAT FOR SOMETHING MORE WINTER.
UM, AND THEN, OR FALLISH WINTERISH UM, AND DO A DIFFERENT KIND OF STAKEHOLDER TYPE OF EVENT.
UM, WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT SOME COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TYPE SCAVENGER HUNT INVENTS OR SOMETHING, UM, FOR FALL OF 2021.
BUT AGAIN, THAT'S JUST IN CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND THEN VOTER REGISTRATION AND MOBILIZATION CAMPAIGNS FOR THE FALL, UM, AS WELL, BUT NOTHING TOO PRESSING FROM ADVOCACY.
SO WE'LL MEET AGAIN THIS MONTH AND GET STARTED AGAIN, THANKS FOR THIS PURPOSE.
RIGHT? SO THAT IS OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS.
THAT'S GOING FORTH TO COUNCIL AS WELL AS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE FORM, AS WELL AS THE RECOMMENDATION FOR BLACK BUSINESS.
AND THOSE SHOULDN'T BE AT THE WORK SESSION ON SEPTEMBER 7TH, THE TWO OPTIONS WERE, UH, THE SEVENTH OR THE 21ST.
AND, UM, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY COMMUNICATION BACK IN TIME FOR THE SEVENTH AGENDA, SO WE CAN FLIP THOSE ITEMS, UH, FOR THE 21ST, IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT, TO BE THERE, TO REPRESENT, UH,
[00:30:01]
THE CONDITIONS.SO THOSE WERE THE FEW RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE THE, UM, THE COMPLAINT PROCESS RECOMMENDATION, THEN THERE WAS THE, UH, EDO APPLICATION AND THE, UH, UH, THE BLOOD GOES IN THE BUSINESSES.
SO, UH, THOSE WERE THE THREE THAT AT LEAST I'M AWARE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE INTENDED TO GO BEFORE COUNCIL ON THE 21ST.
SO THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENT LIST OR THERE'S, UM, SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS, IF YOU COULD SEND THOSE INDICATING, AND THEN WHEN YOU GET THOSE PRACTICE ON THE AGENDA, UH, WE WOULD JUST NEED TO HAVE THAT CALENDAR HERE.
WE WOULD JUST NEED, UM, ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS BY, UH, THE 14TH.
SO WE WOULD NEED THOSE SOMETIME ABOUT FINDING NOON ON THE 14TH SO WE COULD GET THOSE PREPPED, UM, AND, UH, JUST APPLY ON THE, UH, OR THE FORM.
UH, WE DID SEND THAT THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED TO LABOR COUNCIL MEMBER COUNCIL, THAT THEN REVIEWED THAT INFORMATION AND PROVIDED A FORM, UM, RECOMMENDED FOR OUR USE AND TAUGHT WITH KATIE.
WE WOULD INTEND TO IMPLEMENT THAT ON THE JANUARY ONE, UH, JUST TO FALL IN LINE WITH THE CALENDAR YEAR.
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF LOGISTICAL ISSUES FOR COMMUNICATING BACK AND FORTH, BUT I DID WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, AT LEAST FROM THE STAFF PERSPECTIVE ON THAT PARTICULAR LINER, WE HAD MADE SOME PROGRESS IN DEALING WITH, UH, THE LABOR ATTORNEY THAT FORWARD.
MY, MY MISTAKE, MY CORRECTION, AND ONE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE DAY THAT ONE WAS ACTUALLY SUBMITTED A RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL AND DIDN'T SEE, THAT WAS ACTUALLY SUBMITTED THEN WITH THE OTHER LIST.
SO IF WE CAN GET AN UPDATE ON THAT AND I'LL BE SEND IT TO AGAIN.
SO I WILL ADD, I WILL SEND THAT TO KATIE.
SO TELL ME WHAT THE CANCELED, OKAY.
NEW BUSINESS, WE HAVE VOTER REGISTRATION.
SO AS YOU RECALL LAST YEAR, SO LAST YEAR, THE YEAR VOTER REGISTRATION, AND WE DO HAVE OUR, UM, LOCAL THAT'S JUST COMING UP HERE SOON.
SO WE WENT TO START DOING VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVES, AND WE CAN IMPLEMENT WHAT WE DID BEFORE.
UM, OR IF WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT WE CAN DO THAT AS WELL, BUT WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO JOSH AND VINCE AND THE GUARDIAN AND SETTING UP AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, WHICH THAT WAS ONE OF OUR LOCATIONS BEFORE.
SO WE CAN AT LEAST DO THOSE ON SATURDAYS.
UM, THERE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET, JUST ROTATE DATES TO OUR COMMISSION AS WE DO BEFORE.
AND IF THERE ARE OTHER LOCATIONS THAT WE WANT TO OFFER THIS, WE CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
LAST TIME WE WERE AT ME IN A BARBERSHOP, YOU WERE AT, UM, NEW SEASON MINISTRY, THE LIBRARY, AND WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE GROCERY STORE INTERNATIONAL INTERNATIONAL FOOD BAZAAR.
SO THOSE WERE THE LOCATIONS THAT WE WERE AT LAST TIME.
UM, IS THERE ANY PREFERENCE, THE REASON WHY WE DID BACKLESS SO THAT WE COULD HIT EACH DAY? THAT'S AWESOME.
SO IS THERE ANY INPUT FROM ANYONE PROBABLY WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT? THE LAST PAGE FOR REGISTRATION OF VOTERS IS OCTOBER.
IT MAY BE THAT WE JUST DO THE FARMER'S MARKET.
I THINK THAT'S OUR POPULATION.
HOW MANY FOLKS WERE ABLE TO REGISTER, REGISTER DURING THE ELECTION?
[00:35:01]
REALLY WELL.I REMEMBER THAT THE LIBRARY, THERE WAS NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE, UM, ONE PERSON THAT DID THE CHAIN I ADDRESS WE WERE OUT AT NEW SEASONS MINISTRY.
UM, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
MAYBE NOT TILL I WAS ABLE TO REGISTER ONLINE AT THE LIBRARY THOUGH.
AND IT WASN'T, YOU KNOW, THE PAPER COPIES WE COULD COUNT THE DAY THAT I WENT ALONE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN JUST REGISTER PEOPLE ONLINE QUICKLY.
SO I DID, I ACQUIRED A FEW, NOT QUITE A FEW, BUT A COUPLE THAT WAY AS WELL.
I MEAN, THAT WAS A GENERAL ELECTION RIGHT NOW.
I MEAN, I DON'T, I'M NOT KNOCKING HERE.
BUT I HAVE TO SEE THE EXPLAIN, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIME WITH NO RESULTS.
RIGHT? IT'S ALL ON THE STOP SHOP IS ONE, ONE SPECIFIC LOCATION OR SOMETHING.
I THINK THE OTHER THING IS THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT IT.
IT'S NOT JUST VOTER REGISTRATION, BUT AN EDUCATION TOO, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT LOCAL ELECTIONS ARE COMING UP.
SO IT'S THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THIS AS WELL.
GET REGISTERED LESS THAN 3000 PRIMARY EDUCATION LEVEL.
WHY ARE WE DEFINITELY IN FAVOR OF FARMER'S MARKET? AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE A HUGE ATTENDANCE AT THE PARTY.
I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION, BUT I KNOW THAT SARAH AND JOSH TYPICALLY DO A QUICK SURVEY, KNOW IF THEY'RE THERE SO WE COULD GET A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY FOLKS ARE, ARE THERE.
IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT PERHAPS MAYBE THE POINT OF CONTACT SHOULD BE THE SCHOOL, I'M JUST THINKING FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE AND YOU'VE GOT KIDS COMING OUT, GETTING READY TO VOTE, MIGHT BE OF AGE, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE A TRAP AUDIENCE, WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE HUBER, HUBER, HEADY INS, OR WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE, IF THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE FOR THE BOTTOM LINE, VISUAL, HOW TO TRAP THE POPULATION THAT YOU CAN, YOU CAN GET UP PRETTY QUICKLY AND EASILY WHEN THEY'RE STANDING IN LINE FOR A HOT DOG OR A PESTLE.
CAUSE THAT SORT OF THING ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WE REALLY ARE TARGETING.
ARE THEY GOING TO MEET AT THE FARMER'S MARKET? I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
IT'S NOT REALLY THE POPULATION, BUT THE FOOTBALL GAME WE'RE WORKING ON FRIDAY AGAIN.
WE HAVE TO CONNECT WITH ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT JUST TO SET THE TABLE THERE.
AND WOULD IT BE NICE MAYBE TO HAVE CANDIDATES? YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE FOOTBALL GAME.
WE'RE GOING TO SIT HERE WITH CANDIDATES THAT ARE, OR YOU KNOW, WHAT THE ISSUES ARE.
JUST THIS OFFICE, JUST THE CANVAS PEOPLE, NO NAMES.
IT'S NOT VERIFY THAT WE CAN DO THAT.
YOU CAN PULL THE BALLOT INFORMATION FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OR ADMINISTRATION FROM ELECTIONS.
SO THAT INFORMATION SHOULD ALREADY BE ON, LET EVERYBODY GOT THEIR BALANCE CERTIFIED
[00:40:01]
BACK IN AUGUST AND THERE SHOULD ALL BE ALL THAT INFORMATION SHOULD BE PUT INTO THE WEBSITE.ARE WE ALLOWED TO DO IT? WHICH ARE HUBER HEIGHTS, CULTURE AND DIVERSITY SHIRTS.
IF YOU COULD GIVE FOLKS OPPORTUNITY TO GO MAYBE RESOURCES, CANDIDATES, RIGHT.
THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR PEOPLE REGISTERED, BUT THEY WANT THEM TO REGISTER AND VOTE BASED ON HAVING SOME INSIGHT ON, OFF THE BOX CANDIDATES, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO THE BALLOT, JUST TO VALIDATE INFORMATION AND THEN THE VOTE DAY AT THE FOOTBALL GAMES, YOU'LL REACH OUT TO THEM NOT TOMORROW, BUT THE WEEK AFTER I HAD TO BE THERE ANYWAYS.
SO HE WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH ME TOMORROW, TOMORROW.
THE DEADLINE AND THEN THE NEXT HOME GAME.
THAT'S YOUR WOULD THAT IS AVAILABLE.
YOU'RE OFFICIALLY ON THE COMMISSION.
SO ARE WE, ARE WE TAKING FOOD, THE FARMER'S MARKET OFF OF THE TABLE THEN? YES.
DO YOU HAVE FORMS BECAUSE MIA HAS SOME LEFT FROM BEFORE.
AND I'M NO SEND ME DAVIS AND HAD SOME TOO.
FIRSTLY, THERE'S TWO HOME GAMES BETWEEN NOW AND OCTOBER.
SO TOMORROW, WELL, TOMORROW THE 10TH AND THE FIRST TOMORROW YOU SAID THE 10TH OF SEPTEMBER? YEAH.
AND THEN THE 1ST OF OCTOBER
IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT ADDITIONAL DATES, THERE'S ALWAYS OTHER TEAMS TOO.
YOU LIKE THE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT THE HIGH SCHOOL TEAM THEY WON'T HAVE ANY LIKE TOURNAMENTS, THE WARRIORS SOCCER TOURNAMENTS, AND THEN I'M ALSO IN SCHOOL.
SO WE'LL LOOK AT, UM, MAYBE PULL THOSE DAYS FOR THIS TO BAKER FOOTBALL GAMES, JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL GAMES, AND THEN IT'D BE, HAVE THE GANG DATES FOR HOME VARSITY WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL.
AND I JUST SENT YOU ON A SCHEDULE TO SAY, OKAY, SO WE'LL JUST HAVE PEOPLE KIND OF SIGN UP, PUT THEMSELVES WHERE THEY ARE, WAS A COUPLE OF PEOPLE FOR TOMORROW.
ARE WE GOING TO ASK PERMISSION QUICKLY OR SHOW UP?
[00:45:08]
EVEN IF WE'RE IN THE PARKING LOT, AS PEOPLE ARE GOING OUT, YOU KNOW, YOLANDA, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN REACH ME BY TOMORROW? HOPEFULLY I'LL SEND THEM A MESSAGE TONIGHT.KEEP US UPDATED TOMORROW AND IF NOT, UM, SURE.
SO GREEN COUNTY VOICES HAS A REALLY GREAT INITIATIVE.
THERE ARE FIVE CITY SPIRIT, MORE THEY'LL GROW YELLOW SPRINGS, BEAVER CREEK.
SUGAR-FREE UM, THEY ARE REALLY, REALLY DOING SOME GREAT WORK AROUND DEI.
UM, THEY'VE DONE SOME VOTER SUPPRESSION STUFF.
THEY'RE REALLY GOOD ABOUT KEEPING THEIR CITY CONSTITUENTS AWARE OF HOUSE BILLS AND THE SENATE BILLS THAT ARE ON THE FLOOR.
UM, AND THEY ARE ALL SEPARATE FROM THEIR CITIES.
SO THEY'RE ABLE TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT REALLY TIED TO A CITY GOVERNMENT.
SO THEY WORK IN TANDEM WITH THE CITY, BUT THEY'RE NOT WORKING RIGHT.
WE ARE AS A CONDITION OR TOWNSEL GOVERNED BY THE STATE.
UM, SO THEY'RE VERY EAGER TO WORK WITH US.
THEY FOLLOW THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.
SO IF YOU GET AN OPPORTUNITY, PLEASE CONNECT WITH THEM ON THEIR PAGES.
UM, IF YOU GO TO GREEN COUNTY VOICES ENJOYING ON FACEBOOK, YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT STUDIES, BUT FAIRBORN, I THINK IS INCLUSIVE, AIRBORNE OR FAIRBORN FOR AN INCLUSIVE AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY.
UM, THERE'S BELGRAVE YELLOW SPRINGS IN BEAVER CREEK AND THEY'RE DOING SOME AMAZING WORK.
UM, A LOT OF ACTIVITY AROUND CRITICAL RACE THEORY.
UM, A LOT OF ACTIVITY, ONE, THE SENATE BILL AND HOUSE BILL, UM, THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE FLOOR REGARDING MASKING, UH, STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS.
UM, AND I THINK I SENT YOU OUT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, BUT THEY ARE VERY, VERY ACTIVE, UM, GRASSROOTS WORRYING.
AND I THINK IF YOU ALL MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS IN THOSE ORGANIZATIONS, IT WILL REALLY HELP US TO BOLSTER WHAT WE'RE DOING IN OUR INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITIES, BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING AT REFORM AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT OUTREACH AND THEY ARE LIVING IN EDUCATION.
AND I THINK IF WE CAN ALL COME TOGETHER AND WORK, WE CAN GET MORE DONE COLLABORATIVELY.
SO, UM, THE CITY OF KETTERING BOARD OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS IS GOING TO BE SPONSORING A RACIAL EQUITY, DIVERSITY COMMUNITY WIDE MEETING.
AND THEY INVITED, UM, PERMISSION TO ATTEND THAT REPRESENTED ADDITIONAL RECOGNITION.
SO I MYSELF WILL BE ATTENDING THE 16 AND THEY ARE ALSO A GROUP THAT ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY FOSTERING AND RESPECT FOR PERSONS.
SO THEY INVITED PEOPLE FROM ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMISSIONERS SUCH AS OURS TO COME TOGETHER AND TO SHARE.
NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS 2022 PLANNING PROJECTS, PROGRAMS AND EVENTS.
UM, IT SOUNDS LIKE OUR CALENDAR IS COMING TOGETHER PRETTY WELL FOR US TO HAVE A FINALIZED CALENDAR TO WORK, ADMIT TO THE CITY COUNCIL AT A NOVEMBER MEETING, I WILL GO WITH THE DATES ARE
UM, AND THAT ALSO INCLUDES ANY, UM, AMENDMENTS TO
[00:50:01]
POLICIES OR RECOMMENDATIONS WE WANT TO MAKE IN REGARDS TO THE POLICIES SUBMITTED.SO WOULD YOU LIKE US TO HAVE ALL THOSE FINALIZED AT OUR OCTOBER COMMITTEE MEETINGS TO PRESENT? YES.
AT THE, DO WE NEED TO HAVE THEM BY SEPTEMBER MEETINGS ARE PRESENTED IN OCTOBER.
THIS IS THE SEPTEMBER MEETING.
HEY, IT'S SEPTEMBER, UH, JUST FYI, THE NOVEMBER MEETING.
AND THERE'S TYPICALLY ONLY ONE MEETING IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE THEY CANCELED THE FIRST TWO WEEKS BECAUSE OF THE ELECTION.
SO YOU LOOK AT, UH, FOR THE COUNCIL WORK SESSION, THAT WOULD BE THE 16TH OF NOVEMBER.
UH, SO WE WOULD NEED, IF YOU WANTED ANY MATERIAL AND YOU WOULD NEED THAT, BUT IF YOU WANTED ANY MATERIAL IN THAT PACKET, WE WOULD NEED IT ON THE 9TH OF NOVEMBER, BUT THE 16TH WOULD BE THE WORK SESSION.
AND THEN THE, UM, AND THE MEETING ITSELF WOULD BE, UH, UH, SO WE COULD HAVE IT BY OCTOBER FACEBOOK.
THAT'S THE ONLY ONE AROUND, SO WE COULD DO IT NOVEMBER.
BUT THE NOVEMBER MEETING THAT GIVES US TIME NOT TO SAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY AMENDMENTS TO THAT, BUT AT LEAST WE WANT TO HAVE A GOOD, A GOOD CHANNEL.
SO WE'LL SAY BY THE NOVEMBER MEETING NOVEMBER FOUR.
