SO THE COMMITTEE HAS HEARD THE READING OF THE DRAFT MISSION STATEMENT AND THE DRAFT PURPOSE OF THE COMMITTEE DURING FOR DISCUSSION.
WOULD YOU SEND THOSE TO ME AGAIN? I AM LOOKING THROUGH MY FILES AND I JUST, I I'M SEEING THE OUTREACH, BUT I'M NOT SEEING THE EDUCATIONAL ONE.
LET ME, I DON'T KNOW IF IT GOT LOST IN MY, GOT ALL THE MINUTES.
THE AGENDA I GOT FRED'S MISSION AND VISION.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE MY COMPUTER I'VE DONE A SEARCH.
I NEED TO GET A DIFFERENT COMPUTER THAN THIS MAC, THIS MAC.
UM, I NEED TO GO BACK TO A PC.
PLUS, WE GET MULTIPLE EMAILS ON A DAILY BASIS TO YOUR INBOX, INTO YOUR CHECKING.
THEN I'M LOOKING THROUGH ALL MY, I HAVE THINGS REROUTED, BUT I JUST CAN'T LIKE I HAVE, I HAVE THE, AND THE MINUTES AND EVERYTHING, BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE THIS ONE.
THIS ONE, BECAUSE I DO HAVE A CHANGE THAT I WANT THIS ADDRESSED THERE.
I HAD TO GO IN AND START ORGANIZING THIS STUFF.
CAUSE ALL THESE SUBCOMMITTEES AND DATES, PERMISSION STUFF, AND THAT THEY SHOULD LIKE THAT.
OH, I'M ON A JOB SEARCH COMMITTEES, POSITION SEARCH COMMITTEES AT, ON, AT WORK.
SO I'VE GOTTEN SO MANY EMAILS.
I'M LIKE, OH FOUR OH FOUR DIFFERENT SEARCHES THAT I'M ON THE COMMITTEES.
NO, RHONDA JUST SAID SHE WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE TONIGHT.
SO WE HAVE TO POSTPONE OUR MEETING FOR OUTREACH, RIGHT.
BECAUSE ME THREE WITH THE THREE OF US.
I MEAN, UM, GO INTO THE, LET'S FINISH THIS FIRST.
MAYBE THE MIA, MIA DOT H O N SOMETHING JUST POP UP.
I DID MAKE, I ADDED A COMMA AFTER DIVERSITY IN THE PURPOSE DIVERSITY SENSITIVITY TRAINING.
WHERE DID YOU ADD THE COMMENT? FRIENDS? UM, AND, UH, THE PURPOSE WHEN ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR LINE FIVE AFTER DIVERSITY AND THEN AFTER SENSITIVITY TRAINING.
MY, UM, MY SUGGESTION WAS ON THE, ON THE MISSION STATEMENT.
I LIKED PURPOSE AND THE EDUCATION AT THE LAST OF IT, WHERE WE SAY COMPREHEND
[00:10:01]
AND EMBRACE ALL ETHNICITIES AND CULTURES.UM, CAN WE MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE INCLUSIVE TO BE LIKE ALL IDENTITIES STUDIES AND CULTURES, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT YOU PHRASE IT RIGHT NOW.
SO WE SAY COATS AND IDENTITIES AND PUT THEM IN MEDICAL ORDERS SINCE WE'RE LISTED.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE INCLUSIVE.
SO I WILL SAY ALL CULTURES, ETHNICITIES AND IDENTITIES.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT I CAUGHT WHEN YOU WERE READING IT THAT ALI'S NEED MORE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.
WHEN I HEAR THINGS I'M LIKE, OH YEAH.
SEE THAT THAT'S YOUR EXPERTISE.
SO DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY THAT'S APPRECIATED.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU ALL THINK WE NEED TO ELABORATE ON? I THINK I DIDN'T CATCH ANYTHING.
WHEN YOU WERE READING THE PURPOSE.
I DIDN'T CATCH ANYTHING THAT I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS.
I THINK IT'S CLEAR WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND JUST THAT CHANGE IN THE MISSION.
I THINK, I THINK WE'RE GOOD TO GO, AT LEAST ON MY PART I'M NOW THAT WE'RE DONE WITH IT, WE FORWARDED IT TO YOLANDA.
SO, UM, CAUSE WE NEED TO FORWARD IT TO HER BEFORE OUR NEXT COMMISSION MEETING.
AS I HAD PROMISED HER, WHEN WE HAD OUR MEETING THAT WE'LL HAVE OUR DRAFT READY FOR REVIEW OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, MUSHY MEMBERS.
SO YEAH, WE CAN SEND IT TO HER FOR HER REFILL.
SO NEXT IS ITEM FOUR, B CAN BE INITIATIVE, COULD BE INITIATIVES.
UM, WE PRETTY MUCH ELABORATED ON THAT PER OUR MISSION STATEMENT.
SO DO WE AGREE TO STILL HAVE THOSE MAIN INITIATIVES THAT WE TEST IN TERMS OF HAVING PUBLIC FORUMS, SEMINARS AND ONLINE RESOURCES WOULD BE THE ANSWER, UM, SPECIFICALLY, WHAT DO WE, UH, ENGAGE OR WHAT ACTIVITIES SHOULD WE ENGAGE IN AS IS THE QUESTION, UM, AS IT RELATES TO EDUCATION.
SO, AND YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD BE, UM, SOME LOW HANGING FRUIT FOR THE, UH, COMMITTEE? UM, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T KNOW OFF HAND, UH, THERE THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT CAME ACROSS, BUT I THINK, UM, IT WAS A LITTLE, THE PLANET FOR THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN KIND OF TIGHT TO, TO INCLUDE.
UM, IT WAS SOMETHING THAT, UH, BEN CRUMP DOING AT OHIO STATE, THEY WERE TRYING TO GET FOLKS, UH, TO, TO VIEW THAT, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO REGISTER AND THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED SOME ISSUES FOR THEM.
BUT, UM, AND I, I'M JUST KEEPING MY EYES OPEN FOR STUFF LIKE THAT THAT COMES ACROSS MY DESK.
CAUSE I OFTEN GET A LOT OF STUFF FROM DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL PROVIDERS THAT ARE, UM, PUTTING THOSE KINDS OF THINGS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND I'M SURE ME AT PROBABLY MORE THAN I DO, UM, IN HER CAPACITY IN OUR OCCUPATION, I KEEP THINGS.
UM, I MEAN, I GET, I GET A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE GEARED TOWARDS HIGHER EDUCATION, YOU KNOW, DIVERSITY AND HIGHER EDUCATION.
BUT IF I COME ACROSS THINGS CAUSE I KNOW I GET, UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER.
IT'S SO MANY ACRONYMS, THE ADL I GET.
UM, I GET THINGS WHERE, UM, THE OHIO ASIAN W PROFESSIONAL WOMEN ASSOCIATION.
SO THERE'S ALL THE INITIATIVES FROM THE, UM, THE D THE STATES HAVE, UM, THE OHIO LATINO COMMISSION AND THEN THEY HAVE, UM, BEING AN ASIAN COMMISSION WITH THE STATE OF OHIO.
SO THEY ALSO OFFER TRAININGS AND THINGS ACROSS THE BOARD THAT ARE USUALLY FREE.
AND THE, AND THE STATE HAS A DIVERSITY COMMISSION AND THEY DO TRAININGS AS WELL.
SO WHEN I GET THOSE, I CAN, UM, A LOT OF TIMES IT'S FREE AS
[00:15:01]
WELL NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL VIRTUAL.A LOT OF THEM ARE OFFERING IT FOR YOU JUST AFTER PREREGISTER.
SO WHEN, WHEN I GET THOSE LINKS, I CAN ALSO FORWARD THEM ON.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING OF WHEN WE DO THAT ONLINE, LIKE RESOURCE, WE LIST THOSE TRAININGS SO PEOPLE CAN DO, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE IS ALREADY DOING ALL THE TRAINING AND WE CAN SHARE THAT INFORMATION.
SO, SO LET ME ASK HIM, BECAUSE I MEAN, MAYBE YOU MIGHT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS.
IF WE WERE BRINGING SOMEONE IN TO DO, UM, A SEMINAR OR WHATEVER YOU WOULD WANT TO CALL THAT IN NEWBURGH HEIGHTS, VIRTUAL OF COURSE, IN, IN, PROBABLY IN THIS KIND OF PLATFORM, HOW MUCH WOULD SOMETHING LIKE THAT COST IF WE WERE DOING, UM, UH, UH, A SERIES ON RACIAL SENSITIVITY, FOR EXAMPLE, IT DEPENDS.
I THINK IT DEPENDS ON YOUR LEVEL, A PERSON, IF IT'S A NATIONAL KNOWN PERSON, OF COURSE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, THEY'LL COME AND DO THESE THINGS.
SO, UM, IF IT'S SOMEBODY IN THE STATE LIKE THAT WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OR A FACULTY MEMBER, OR SO, UM, A LOT OF TIMES YOU CAN OFFER THEM A FEW HUNDRED.
YOU CAN DO, UM, SOMETIMES THEY'LL DO IT FOR FREE BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THEIR SERVICES PROVIDE.
UM, I, UM, I THINK I PAY, I USUALLY PAY A SPEAKER AVERAGE AROUND THREE 50 TO 500 AT TIMES.
SO AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON YOU GET.
CAUSE IF WE GET SOMEBODY NATIONALLY KNOWN, WE LIKE WE DO A PRESIDENTIAL SERIES LECTURE SERIES, AND THOSE NATIONALLY KNOWN SPEAKERS TEND TO WANT FIVE, SIX, 7,000, 10,000.
SO THEY'LL, THEY CHARGE A LOT MORE TO BE ON THOSE TALKING CIRCLES, BUT LIKE VIRTUALLY, I MEAN, THEY WON'T GO ANYWHERE.
UM, AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON THEM.
MY VIRTUAL SPEAKER, I JUST HAD LAST WEEK WAS THREE 50.
EVEN HE DID IT VIRTUAL AND HE WOULD DO, THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY WAS TRAVEL COST.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I BRING IN A SPEAKER.
I PAY ALL THEIR TRAVEL EXPENSES, BUT THEIR SPEAKING FEE WAS STILL THE SAME.
I JUST, UM, I JUST DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY HIS TRAVEL COST.
I MEAN, I, I DO HAVE A LIST OF SPEAKERS FROM THE LAST CONFERENCE THAT THE STATE HAD A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT ARE, UM, JUST LOCAL PEOPLE THERE USUALLY I'M IN CHARGE OF, OR, YOU KNOW, NONPROFITS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE REALLY WILLING TO SPEAK VERY MINIMALLY FOR VERY MINIMAL OR NO FEE AT ALL.
IT DEPENDS ON, UM, THEN I THINK, BUT WITH THE CITY, IF WE HAVE SOMEWHAT OF, BUT IT'S COURTESY TO SAY AT LEAST SOMETHING AS A, AS A THING RATHER THAN ASKING THEM TO DO FOR FREE.
BUT, UM, SO I CAN, UM, I'LL LOOK FOR THAT.
UM, FOR THAT LIST OF POTENTIAL, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THEM COMING AND THEY TALK ABOUT ALL SORTS OF TOPICS UNDER DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.
AND I'LL PUT, GO AHEAD FOR IT.
UH, NO WE HAVE ON OUR AGENDA, UM, UM, LAND UNDER NEW BUSINESS BUDGET, WE COULD, UM, WHEN WE MOVE THAT BULLET, MAYBE THROW SOME NUMBERS TOO.
THAT'S NOT SO GOOD WAY TO PUT IT, BUT PUT SOME NUMBERS DOWN TO, UM, TO ASK FOR, UH, FOR, FOR THE BUDGET THAT'S COMING UP, UM, SOMEBODY TO DO THESE PRESENTATIONS, EVEN IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE VIRTUAL, UM, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TOPICS.
I MEAN, PEOPLE MIGHT EVEN FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, UM, DOING IT VIRTUALLY IN THEIR HOMES, UH, AND, AND BE ABLE TO OPEN, OPEN IT UP AND WE CAN SHARE, I MEAN, WHATEVER THAT TOPIC IS GOING TO BE, UH, WITH, WITH THEIR FAMILIES.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A WHOLE LOT OF TOPICS AND WHITE FRAGILITY CAME FRAILTY.
WHAT'S THE WORD? AND I GLANCED OVER AND I WAS LOOKING AT THAT, THAT AUTHOR CHARGED BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT.
YEAH, THERE, THAT ONE WAS A LITTLE OUT OF OUR BUDGET TOO.
CAUSE WE WERE LIKE, OH, LOOK AT THAT.
YOU KNOW, NO THAT WAS, BUT THEN THAT IS WHERE, UM, I CAN MAYBE CONNECT YOU TOO WITH SOME OF OUR FACULTY ON CAMPUS THAT HAS THESE TRAININGS.
AND THEN IF, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH KAREN TOWNSEND, SHE HAS A DIVERSITY NONPROFIT, AND SHE'S BASED OUT OF HERE.
SHE DOES A LOT OF, A LOT OF TRAININGS AND TALKS AND SEMINARS FOR THE CITIES.
SHE DOES IT FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS.
UM, THE HUMAN RIGHTS COALITION.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DATE NATURE RC THAT THEY HAVE HERE.
SO SHE DOES A LOT THERE AND THAT'S ANOTHER GROUP YOU CAN REACH OUT TO IS THE DAYTON HRC, THE HUMAN RIGHTS THERE.
THEY, UM, BUT THAT, I MEAN, SHE'S, UM, I'VE, I'VE BEEN TO HER MANY DIFFERENT TALKS WITH HER THAT SHE'S, THAT THE CITY OF DAYTON HAS HELD AND THEY, I, THEY HAVE BROUGHT HER IN.
[00:20:01]
WITH CITY.AND I THINK I KNOW HER, I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT'S THE SAME PERSON.
DID SHE GO TO CENTRAL STATE? DO YOU KNOW? I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE WENT TO.
SHE WORKS FOR WRIGHT STATE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SO THAT'S HOW I, OKAY.
CAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY ALL OF THE, UM, POTENTIAL COSTS WE'RE DISCUSSING FOR THESE SPEAKERS.
WE CAN DEFINITELY ELABORATE MORE IN, UM, ITEM FIVE A BUT BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THAT GLENN, BACK TO THE INITIATIVES, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING QUARTERLY FORUMS, UM, AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT INTO 21, THOSE FORUMS WOULD HAVE TO BE FIRST.
UM, AS FAR AS THE MECHANISM WE HAVE CDR, UM OH, OKAY.
IN ZOOM, UM, PROBABLY THE LEAST EXPENSIVE OPTION WOULD BE MICROSOFT TEAMS. CORRECT.
I THINK ZOOM, YOU DO HAVE TO PAY A FEE IF YOU'RE GOING TO UTILIZE MORE THAN AN HOUR.
UM, BUT WELL, TH THIS WOULD BE THE CITY SPONSORING THESE THINGS, RIGHT.
SO WE COULD USE THIS PLATFORM.
COULD WE NOT, THEY MAY PREFER THIS PLATFORM BECAUSE THIS IS HOW THEY SET UP THE RECORDINGS.
SO THEY MAY GET, UM, WE CAN GET KATIE TO SET IT UP, SET UP THE, AND THEN TEAMS CAN BE JUST LIKE, UM, LIKE THEY USE ZOOM WHEN WE BRING IN A SPEAKER WHERE YOU BRING IN PEOPLE AND IT'S LIKE PANEL THING WHERE THEY CAN, THEY COME ON, BUT YOU DON'T SEE THEM.
YOU KNOW, YOU JUST SEE THE PANELS FIRST AND THEY COME AND MUTED.
I'VE BEEN TO TRAININGS ON TEAM.
SO KATIE ME, BUT I'M LIKE, I, I, I, I'VE ATTENDED DIFFERENT SEMINARS ON VIA TEAMS, MICROSOFT TEAMS IN THE PAST, SO.
CAN YOU SEE, AND I'M MORE FAMILIAR WITH ZOOM.
I'M GRADUALLY BECOMING MORE FAMILIAR WITH CVR, NOT ONLY THROUGH OUR, YOU KNOW, MEETING, LET'S ASSUME I KNOW TIME WITH A CHAT ONLY QUESTIONS COME UP.
I'M NOT SURE IF THOSE FEATURES ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS PLATFORM.
UM, BUT IF THE CITY'S USING, YOU KNOW, MICROSOFT TEAMS, I AGREE, WE SHOULD DEFINITELY CONTINUE THAT WE HAVE VIRTUAL TEAMS, QUARTERLY FORUMS. SO LET'S SEE IF WE CAN.
AND I GUESS IT WAS TWO INITIATIVES FOR THE YEAR, STARTING JANUARY.
SEE IF WE CAN BRING SOME SPEAKERS IN AND LET'S, LET'S PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF FOLKS THAT WE CAN BRING IN THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.
AND I'LL, I'LL SEE IF I CAN PICK UP SOME NAMES OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE GLAD TO DO THAT.
AND I KNOW WE HAVE FACULTY MEMBERS THAT CAN DO THAT AT CENTRAL STATE, AS WELL AS A RIGHT STATE, AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, FOLKS IN THE NATIONAL, UM, ARENA, IF YOU WOULD, UM, WHAT IS HIS NAME? I'M NOT GOING TO REMEMBER.
THEY'LL COME TO ME WHEN I'M SLEEPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
I'VE LISTENED TO SPEAKERS FROM THE STATE CONFERENCE THAT I WENT TO ON DIVERSITY.
WELL, THAT'S THE LIST IS YOURS.
THEY HAD, SO THIS IS A POTENTIAL, YOU CAN GRAB SOME NAMES ON THERE.
I WONDER WHAT THEIR SPEAKER FEES BE ON THERE.
IT MIGHT BE ON THEIR WEBSITE ACTUALLY.
AND I THINK MOST OF THEM ARE, LIKE I SAID, HE WORKED FOR NONPROFITS OR SO, SO THEY MAY NOT BE AS THEY WON'T BE AS MUCH AS, ARE YOU SENDING THAT TO THE BOOK? MIA? YEAH.
AND I MEAN, THEY'RE GEARED TOWARDS, YOU KNOW, THE WORKERS IN THERE, BUT THERE'S THINGS LIKE CULTURAL COMPETENCY WE CAN LOOK AT AND, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT TRACKS THEY HAD.
SO THAT'S JUST A, SOME POTENTIAL NAMES THAT CAME UP FOR A CONFERENCE THAT I JUST RECENTLY ATTENDED.
SO, BUT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE CARE OF THE QUARTERLY
[00:25:01]
SEMINARS OR WE COULD DO THAT QUARTERLY PUBLIC FOUR.AND IT WOULD BE A PUBLIC FORUM AS WELL.
UM, ONLINE RESOURCES, NOT THAT ONE MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
UH, WE DEFINITELY IDENTIFY WHAT KIND OF ONLINE RESOURCES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT.
SO WE'D HAVE NARROWED THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
SO WHEN WE SAY ON MINE RESOURCES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, LIKE DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS THAT MINE I'M THINKING LIKE ARTICLES, ARTICLES, PUBLISH ARTICLES, MAYBE BOOKS, UM, REVIEW, HOW ARE WE TALKING ABOUT MAKING THESE PUBLIC, BUT HOW DO WE SEND THESE OUT TO THE CITIZENS OF HUBER HEIGHTS? OR DO WE JUST POST THEM ON THE WEB? I ASKED FOR SPACE ON THE WEBSITE FOR, I WAS THINKING A DIVERSITY CORNER, PERHAPS SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE WE CAN DIFFERENT ARTICLES THERE THAT MIGHT HELP WITH CULTURAL COMPETENCIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
HONESTLY, I HONESTLY THINK THE CITY SHOULD HAVE A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SECTION ON THEIR WEBSITE ANYWAY, BECAUSE YEAH, YOU SHOULD LIST THE CITIES.
UM, THIS IS WHERE WE WOULD PUT OUR RESOURCES FOR THE EDUCATION, UM, FOR OUR COMMISSION, THE SUBCOMMITTEE, BUT IT SHOULD ALSO HAVE POLICIES THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THAT THEY HAVE TO CUT THROUGH ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
IF A CITIZEN ASKS FOR THE DIVERSITY HIRING POLICY, WE SHOULD HAVE ALSO HER STATEMENT ABOUT DIVERSITY.
I THINK MOST, MOST COMPANIES, CITIES AND STUFF HAS A DIVERSITY STATEMENT.
I DON'T THINK WE DO, TO BE HONEST, I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT.
SO IT SHOULD BE, THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING ALREADY ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE TO ADDRESS DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.
AND THIS IS WHERE WE WOULD PUT OUR PROCLAMATION AND YOU KNOW, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF THAT WE HAVE TO.
SO I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE, AS EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE CAN BRING UP TO THE BIGGER COMMITTEE WHEN WE MEET DECEMBER THAT WE WOULD LIKE THE CITY TO HAVE A DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION SECTION ON THEIR WEBSITE.
SO NOT ONLY DO WE PUT OUR STUFF DOWN, THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ARTICLES, THE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, THE TRAININGS THAT WE COME ACROSS, ALSO THE DIVERSITY STATEMENT, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, WHATEVER THAT THE CITY HAS.
IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO FIND TO WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO LOOK.
YEAH, I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.
CAUSE I KNOW THAT AS A WHOLE, THE COMMISSION IS TRYING TO FINALIZE OUR OVERALL MISSION AND PURPOSE.
AND AGAIN, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE IN ONE LINK ON THE HEIGHTS, CITY WEBSITE.
SO, UM, AND I DON'T EVER RECALL SEEING ANYTHING ON THE WEB ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.
UM, WE HAVE OUR NEXT COMMISSION MEETING ON THE FIRST THURSDAY, WHICH IS WHAT TWO WEEKS.
TO PRESENT THAT TO MADAM CHAIR IN THE BODY, THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I'M LOOKING THROUGH HERE AND UNDER THE GOVERNMENT, IT HAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CLERKS DEPARTMENTS, THE CITY CODES CHARTER, AND THEN IT HAS THE, UM, FINANCE RESOURCES, NON, UM, AND UNDER COMMUNITY.
IT HAS ABOUT THE CENTER, OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES, FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY, EDUCATION DEMOGRAPHICS, BUT NOTHING ABOUT DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION.
SO THERE IS NOT EVEN A SECTION AT ALL.
LET ME ASSUME THAT IS A LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THEY JUST FORGOT TO PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE.
SOME DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, THEIR STATEMENTS, MAYBE IN THE NEW HIRE PAPERWORK, OR I DON'T KNOW, SOMEWHERE THAT THE EMPLOYEES WOULD RUN ACROSS SOMEWHERE.
I'LL GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, ASK IF THEY HAVE IT.
SO THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD QUESTION FOR THE CITY MANAGER AND, YOU KNOW, I'M PULLING UP OTHER CITIES AND I DON'T REALLY SEE ANYTHING ON OTHER CITIES EITHER.
SO MAYBE WE COULD BE AT FIRST ROBERT SCHUMER.
I CAN GET IT TO YOU IN ONE SIX M E R.
[00:30:01]
C I THINK IT'S A ESSAY.S C H O O M M E R S C H O M E R.
WELL, CHAD, YOU KNOW, A CONSENSUS OF HOW WE WANT TO FACILITATE OUR INITIATIVES.
UM, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IN THAT LEADS TO ITEM NUMBER FIVE IN NEW BUSINESS, AS FAR AS THE BUDGET, UM, MS. MADDEN CHAIR, WHEN SHE MET WITH ALL OF THE CHAIRS RECENTLY, SHE HAS STATED THAT SHE'LL LIKE FOR EACH COMMITTEE TO HAVE A BUDGET PREPARED AS FAR AS POTENTIAL LINE ITEMS WE NEED TO FUND FOR NEXT YEAR.
AND SHE WANTS THAT INFORMATION BY FRIDAY.
SO THE ONE ITEM THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING THUS FAR THAT WOULD BE EXPENSE, POTENTIAL EXPENSE, OUR TRAINERS FOR OUR, UM, VIRTUAL FORUM.
SO MIA, FOR THOSE SPEAKERS THAT WERE ON THE LIST THAT YOU SENT TO US, UM, I HAVE NO CLUE WHETHER THEY, WHAT THEY WOULD CHARGE.
I WOULD SAY IF WE, IF WE START FOR FIRST SMALL, LIKE USING THE LOCAL SPEAKERS, LIKE, LIKE THAT LIST AND WITHIN THE STATE, I WOULD SAY, WE MAYBE LOOK AT YOUR WE'RE DOING THIS QUARTERLY, RIGHT? MAYBE WE PUT IN AN AVERAGE OF 500 PER, PER, UH, SEMINAR.
SO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE PUT IN LIKE 2,500 OR 2000 OR, YOU KNOW, JUST FOR A START.
AND THEN IF IT BECOMES POPULAR, NOT IF, WHEN IT BECOMES POPULAR AGAIN, POSITIVE COMES POPULAR AND PEOPLE GET MORE INTERESTED.
THEN WE CAN LOOK AT BIGGER NAME CAUSE DOWN THE LINE, YOU KNOW, AS, AS THIS BECOMES A REGULAR THING THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THING, AND THEN WE CAN, UM, BUT THEN THE, MY THING OF DOING THAT IS THEN WE CAN GO TO THE CITY AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS A POPULAR EVENT CITY.
SO DOES ONE, IT LET'S INCREASE OUR BUDGET SO WE CAN LOOK AT MORE NATIONALLY KNOWN 2,500 GIVING US THAT GIVES US APPROXIMATELY A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD, REASONABLE, REASONABLE, I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY THING WE WOULD, WELL, WE NEED TO TAKE AN ACCOUNT OF LIKE PRINTING FLYERS OR DO, OR WOULD THAT THE CITY COVERS ALL THAT OR DO WE HAVE TO COVER THAT COST? MAYBE WE DO 3000.
I DON'T THINK COMMUNICATE AS MUCH ABOUT FLIER ANYMORE.
UM, ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN A COMMUNITY THAT YOU CAN HAND THEM THINGS.
UM, IT'S DIFFICULT TO DO THAT IN THE CITY.
UH, WE USE SOCIAL MEDIA, RIGHT.
I KNOW WHEN WE DID THE VOTER REGISTRATION AND THE COMMUNITY RALLY, WE DID PRINT FLYERS BECAUSE THE BUSINESSES POSTED THEM UP.
SO WE DO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE LOCAL BUSINESSES IS RHONDA AND I WENT DOOR TO DOOR TO BUSINESSES AND DROPPED OFF THE VOTER REGISTRATION.
AND THEN SOME OF THEIR BUSINESSES LIKE POST THEM UP IN THEIR WINDOWS.
SO, UM, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW THE HEIGHTS CAFE, SOME UNDER THEIR TABLE, THE GLASS AND THE TABLE.
SO GET TO KNOW THESE LITTLE BUSINESSES THAT WILL POST ALL THESE THINGS FOR US TO BE BIZARRE.
THE ONLY BUSINESSES THAT WON'T DO IT AS THE BIG ONES, LIKE KROGER'S AND MYERS.
AND BECAUSE IF THEY DO OURS, THEY HAVE TO DO THAT'S WHAT MYERS SAID.
IF THEY DO OURS, THEY HAVE TO DO EVERYBODY'S.
SO THEY DON'T DO ANY KIND OF ADVERTISING OR LET US DO TABLE.
BUT I THINK, UM, THAT WOULDN'T BE THAT WOULDN'T BE A, TOO MUCH THAT WOULD HANDFUL OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, SIGNS, POSTERS, BUT WE WOULD MOSTLY USE THE BILLBOARD, WHICH I THINK THREE WITH THE C BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY, I DON'T RECALL HAVING TO PAY ANYTHING WHEN WE DID THE VOTER REGISTRATION ON THERE, CATH AT KATIE OFFERED
[00:35:01]
IT TO US.SO I THINK THE CITY DOESN'T PAY BECAUSE IT'S THE CITY.
SO, AND THEN WE WOULD JUST, UM, SOCIAL MEDIA, LIKE I SAID, WE JUST, SO I DON'T KNOW.
UM, AS FAR AS SOCIAL MEDIA, WE HAVE THE FACEBOOK PAGE, RIGHT.
BUT WE HAVE FACEBOOK AND WE HAVE TWITTER, BUT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY USES TWITTER.
WE, I, I CREATED IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT A PLATFORM TOO FAMILIAR WITH.
SO I MEAN, WE DO A LOT ON THE FACEBOOK GROUP BECAUSE THE, UM, HUBER HEIGHTS HAS COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT ARE VERY ACTIVE.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN USING.
WE TEND TO, THIS CITY TENDS TO FOLLOW, UM, FROM WHAT I NOTICED, A LOT OF RESIDENTS, BUT ON FACEBOOK, EVERYTHING HE PROVIDES GROUPS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY BUDGET ITEM THAT WE CAN INSULATE FOR THE UPCOMING YEARS, 3000 FOR THE EDUCATIONAL QUARTERLY EDUCATIONAL SERIES, SPEAKER FEES AND ASSOCIATED PRINTING COSTS FOR THAT.
RIGHT NOW, THERE MAY BE ONE EXPENSE.
AND FRED, YOU MAY REMEMBER MY ASS AND CHAIR.
UM, AS FAR AS DIVERSITY SENSITIVITY TRAINING, UM, I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MADAM CHAIR ABOUT DOING THAT FOR OUR COMMISSION ALSO TO THE PUBLIC, SINCE THAT'S HER BACK.
AND SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T CHARGE A FEE.
MY CONCERN IS IF THAT WOULD CAUSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST BECAUSE SHE IS CHAIRS, HAVE DUAL ROLES, UM, CASE, AND WE WOULD HAVE TO ALLOCATE MONEY TO FIND SPEED SENSITIVITY TRAINING FOR THE CITY.
WELL, FOR OUR COMMISSION, THE CITY, AND PRETTY MUCH, UM, RESIDENTS CHOOSE TO ATTEND THAT FORUM, HAVING THAT DISCUSSION.
WELL, AND YOU SAID A CA WHY WOULD THAT BE A CON HOW COULD THAT BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ISSUE? DOES IT FREE? I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
IF THAT MAY BE NOT TO SAY THAT WOULD OR WOULD NOT, BUT I THINK THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IF WE PAY HER RIGHT, RIGHT.
IF WE PAY HER THAT'S HARMFUL, BECAUSE I KNOW JUST FROM THE WEBS, CAUSE DON WEBB IS A CITY COUNCILMAN AND HE, HE HAD THE, HE HAD A BUSINESS THREAD WORKS THAT DOES T-SHIRTS.
SO THEY DID NOT DO FROM MY UNDERSTANDING.
CAUSE IT, CAUSE HE'S ON THE COMMITTEE, HE'S ON THE COUNCIL, BUT THEY DID T-SHIRTS FOR FREE.
LIKE THEY WOULD GIVE THEM AN EVENT AND THEY DONATED AS THEIR BUSINESS, YOU KNOW? SO IT WASN'T, UH, I THINK THAT'S, I THINK IF WE PAID HER, THAT WOULD BE A CONFLICT.
I THINK IF SHE'S OFFERING TO VOLUNTEER HER SERVICES, THEN I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE TO BE HONEST, THE CONFLICT.
I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH EXPLOITING I'M A MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION COMPRESSION.
IF IT GOT TO A POINT WHERE SHE WOULD BE DOING THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS, THEN I WOULD, I WOULD FEEL LIKE WE'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE.
AND THAT'S MY CONCERN, INTEREST HER IN THAT POSITION.
MAYBE, MAYBE ASK HER TO DO THE FIRST ONE, UM, SEE WHAT KIND OF TURNOUT WE GET.
AND THEN IF, IF, IF IT'S, IF, IF IT'S TOO LARGE, MEANING, YOU KNOW, MORE THAN SAY MORE THAN WHAT I MEAN, NOT, I THINK ABOUT IT ONE MORE TIME ABOUT TRAINING.
IF IT'S MANDATORY FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, THEN WE REALLY NEED OUTSIDE OF THE COMMISSION BECAUSE THAT'D BE BECOMES A JOB AT THAT POINT.
UM, AND YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOLANDA LIKE THAT AND IT WOULD BE, UM, IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO ASK HER TO DO THAT PRO BONO AND IF THAT'S HER, WHAT SHE DOES OCCUPATIONAL.
THAT WOULD BE SOMEBODY LIKE, LIKE I WAS TALKING ABOUT DR.
TOWNSEND AND THEN ANOTHER PERSON THAT I'VE USED IS DANIEL, JUDY.
UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF OTHER THINGS THAT CLAIRE ALSO HAS SOME SPEAKERS THERE'S UM, I THINK WE CAN REACH OUT TO TWO OTHER GROUPS,
[00:40:01]
BUT I KNOW A LOT OF MY SPEAKERS ARE, THEY GEARED TOWARDS HIGHER EDUCATION.SO I'M TRYING TO THINK OF BEYOND WHAT THAT'S, WHERE WE CAN LOOK AT.
UM, LIKE I SAID, THE HUMAN RELATIONS COUNCIL, THEY DARCY AND DAYTON BECAUSE THEY DO CIVIL RIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO THEY SO HAVE SOME CONNECTIONS TO SOME TRAINERS THAT THEY MAY HAVE AS WELL.
ON AVERAGE HOW MUCH IT MAY COST.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE.
I'VE ONLY EVER ATTENDED THERE.
I NEVER BEEN ON THE PLANNING END OF THE, UM, OF THOSE EVENTS.
I'VE ONLY ATTENDED THEIR, THEIR SPECIFIC EVENTS.
CAUSE I WANT TO PUT IN A BIG YEAR AS PART OF OUR PRELIMINARY BUDGET FOR THAT EXPENSE.
SO, AND UM, YOU KNOW, IT IT'S LIKE THE MORE I THINK ABOUT SYSTEM ONE THINKING THE MORE MONEY IT'S GOING TO, CAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAINING, UM, FOR DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION, BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE THE ADMINISTRATOR LEVEL, RIGHT.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE MANAGEMENT LEVEL AND THEN YOU HAVE THE EMPLOYEE LEVEL.
SO, AND THAT, THAT, THAT MESSAGE ALBEIT SOMEWHAT SIMILAR, IT'S COMING FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE AT EACH OF THOSE LEVELS.
SO I MEAN, THE MORE YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, THE MORE YOU'RE GOING TO ADD SOME MONEY TO THAT, TO BRING SOMEBODY IN, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRAINING CITY EMPLOYEES, THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE FOR THAT.
I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO THE CITY THING, SO THIS MAY BE, WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR TRAINING FOR CITY EMPLOYEES WHILE I KNOW THAT MAY, MAY BE OUT OF WHAT OUR COMMISSION, THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE ASKED THE CITY, THIS HAS GOTTA BE PAYING PAID BY NOT OUT OF OUR BUDGET, OUT OF, UM, SOMETHING THAT THE CITY SHOULD OFFER THEIR EMPLOYEES.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? CAUSE IT, I THINK IT COULD COME FROM, THEY MAY HAVE A BIGGER BUDGET TO BE ABLE TO COVER A BIGGER TRAINING LIKE THIS RIGHT NOW, IF WE WERE GOING TO JUST HAVE THIS OPEN UP TO ALL THE CITIZENS AND STUFF, I THINK THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT.
BUT I THINK WE WERE GEARING MORE TOWARDS A CITY.
EMPLOYEES NEED TO BE TRAINED IN THIS WOULD BE A, I THINK THIS WOULD BE NOT UNREASONABLE TO ASK THE CITY TO COVER, TO COVER THIS AND NOT OUT OF OUR SMALL BUDGET.
CAUSE I KNOW WHEN TALKING TO YOLANDA, WE DON'T HAVE A, AND SHE MADE, SHE MENTIONED 10,000 FOR THE YEAR AND I'M THINKING WE'RE ALMOST 3000.
SO WE STILL NEED TO GET, UM, I THINK WE WERE LOOKING AT LIKE SIGNAGE AND TENTS AND YOU KNOW, BANNERS AND STUFF WHEN WE DO EVENTS.
SO I THINK THAT'S SOME OF THE COSTS, NOT FOR US, BUT FOR THE COMMISSION ITSELF.
SO IF WE WERE GOING TO PUT A NUMBER ON THAT, THE TRAINING FOR CITY EMPLOYEES AND COMMISSION MEMBERS, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? OR BALLPARK, LET ME SEE IF I AM I'M ON, I'M JUST GOING TO PULL UP.
I'M JUST GOING TO PUT DANIELS AND SEE IF HE HAS 'EM.
CAUSE HE HOLDS TRAININGS AND SEMINARS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
LET ME SEE IF HE, HE DOESN'T PUT ANY KIND OF PRICING ON THE LEVEL OF EXPERTISE THEY HAVE, HOW HE DOES HIS, HIS NAME.
HE HAS HE'S DANIEL, JUDY IT'S, DANIELLE AND THEN J U D A Y.
HE BREAKS HIS DOWN INTO TIERS OF LIKE, WHAT WE WANT, DO WE WANT TO PRESENT? DOES HE WANT TO BE A PRESENTER? DOES WE, WE WANT TO DO A RETREAT, YOU KNOW, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO ANY KIND OF PRICING, PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE, YOU HAVE TO TALK TO THEM TO WORK OUT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, BUT UM, I WILL GIVE YOU HIS AD.
I'LL SEND YOU HIS LINK TO OKAY.
HE DOES A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO, WE HAVE WHAT, 10,000 OVERALL MISSION.
WELL, AND THAT WAS JUST A, A NUMBER THAT YOLANDA PULLED OUT OF THE AIR.
[00:45:01]
SO I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT'S WHAT REAL NUMBER OR NOT, MAYBE THEY MIGHT NEED TO PUT MORE IN THERE, BUT UM, IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THIS KIND OF CONDITION SAY THE CITY IN THE AVAILABLE LAWSUIT.UM, CAUSE LET ME SEE FOR QUARTERLY SEMINARS, WHAT, 2,003,000.
WELL, I GOT 3000 TOTAL FOR, UM, QUARTERLY EDUCATION SERIES OF SPEAKERS ASSOCIATED FLYERS.
AND THAT'S ROUGHLY 500 PER LOTS OF LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, PLUS A THOUSAND DOLLARS THROWN IN THERE.
SO WE'RE AT THREE, WELL, 3000, CORRECT? RIGHT.
AND THAT'S NOT INCLUDING TRAINING FOR CITY EMPLOYEES AND COMMISSION MEMBERS IN DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, BUT THAT, UM, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY PROBABLY NEED TO DO THAT ANYWAYS.
LIKE MIA WAS SAYING, IF THEY HAVE NOT DONE THAT ALREADY, I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE OR NOT.
IS IT REALLY, THEY SHOULD HAVE, THEY SHOULD.
UM, WELL I KNEW WHAT NOT TO SPEND TOO MUCH MORE TIME.
DO YOU ALL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH AT LEAST 3,500 AT THIS POINT? OKAY.
SO WE PUT IN 500 HERE FOR TRAINING FOR, FOR, UM, WHAT DOES THIS, UH, TRAIN AND CITY EMPLOYEES THAT MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH? I WOULD SUGGEST ANOTHER 2000.
REALLY? IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN AND DO A SEMINAR AND THAT THAT'S CHEAP.
SO WHAT ABOUT, YOU SAID PUT ANOTHER THREE THERE TRAINING FOR CITY EMPLOYEES AND COMMISSION MEMBERS.
THAT'S GOING TO COST A LOT MORE.
IS THAT, IS THAT TRAINING ABOUT THAT POSSIBLE 10,000? LIKE YOU SAID, FRED, THAT WAS JUST A BALLPARK NUMBER YOLANDA MENTIONED.
SO YOU KNOW WHAT, WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND MAKE, HONESTLY MAKE THAT A FIVE MAKE THAT TRAILER FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, COMMISSION MEMBERS, 5,000.
UM, IF THEY GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT.
WELL THEN, I MEAN, AT LEAST THAT GIVES US A BUDGET, WHICH WE CAN GO OUT AND LOOK FOR SOMEBODY TO FINISH TRAINING.
UH, IF WE GET IT UNDER THAT, THAT'S GOOD.
IF NOT, THEN YOU KNOW, IT'S TAX MONEY.
SO $8,000 LESS WHERE WE AT NOW.
BUT LIKE WE SAID, THAT TRAINING FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, THAT COMMISSIONER THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE FOR THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR COMING IN AND, AND, AND EDUCATING CITIZENS, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD GET PUBLIC FOLKS OUT THERE DOING GRANT WORK TO DO THAT.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO A TRAINING FOR CITY EMPLOYEES GRANT.
WELL, I'LL SUBMIT THIS, UM, NUMBER THE ALON AND I'LL INCLUDE THAT THE, BOTH OF YOU IN MY EMAIL TO HER, HAS SHE WANTED THIS BY FRIDAY NIGHT TOO MUCH? AND WE'LL SEE.
UM, W WE ARE ON B, RIGHT? FOR CULTURAL DIVERSE.
BE CULTURAL DIVERSITY TRAINING.
AND I JUST PUT ON THERE, WE'LL SEEK OUT CONSULTANTS TO CONDUCT TRAINING FOR DEI.
UM, AND THEN I PUT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT IN THE, UH, UM, A, SO NOW WE'RE ON A C NEW BUSINESS ITEM C COMMITTEE ONLINE ME.
I THINK, UM, YEAH, WE WERE TALKING AT OUR INITIAL MEETING.
WE HAVE ALL THESE AVAILABLE RESOURCES, LIKE THE PUBLISHED ARTICLES AND, UM, YEAH.
SO WE TOUCHED ON THIS ITEM AS FAR AS SEEING IF THE CITY WOULD HAVE A DIVERSITY CULTURE AND DIVERSITY LINK WHERE WE CAN PUT ALL
[00:50:01]
THIS INFORMATION ON THERE.WE HAVE SOME MORE ITEMS. ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS ABOUT THAT ITEM? I THINK WE ALREADY PRETTY MUCH TALKED ABOUT THAT AND I COULD COME UP WITH SOME ARTICLES REGARDING THAT.
I'M SURE MY WIFE WILL BE GLAD TO HELP WITH THAT.
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN READING SINCE THAT'S WHAT OUR RESEARCH IS ALIGNED WITH IT LAST WEEK.
THAT'S THE NEXT ONE YOU WERE ABOUT TO SAY? YES.
SO, UM, ON MONDAY, YOLANDA HAD MET WITH ALL OF THE CHAIRS, ALL THE VARIOUS, UM, SHE MENTIONED THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND SHE HAD BENCHMARK PARKS AND RECS WAS, SHE HAD PROVIDED INFORMATION ON HOW THEY DID THEIRS.
AND I'LL FORWARD YOU THE EMAIL THAT YOU LEARNED TO SENT TO MYSELF AND TARA TARA.
BUT, UM, BASICALLY WITH THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RELY ON AN OUTSIDE RESOURCE WHO WE HAVE TO PAY TO DO THAT FOR US.
SO IN REGARDS TO EDUCATION, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF METRICS YOU WANT EACH PERSON OUTSIDE RESOURCE TO DO AS FAR AS PERFORMING THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT PIECE.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY THOUGHTS AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED, THE CITY HAVE A MEETING THIS WEEK CITY COUNCIL MEETING, UM, BECAUSE WHAT THE SECOND FOURTH, MONDAY, RIGHT.
OR WORK SESSION, BECAUSE I REMEMBER SEEING, SEEING SOMETHING THAT WAS SETTING AN AIM, UM, FOR THEIR WORK SECTION THAT THE COUNCIL WAS TALKING ABOUT A DIVERSITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THIS WEEK ON THE SESSION COUNCIL WORK SESSION, NOVEMBER 19TH, SIX REMOTE.
SO THEY ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE DISCUSSING DIVERSITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT AT THE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION.
THIS ITEM IS TO DISCUSS A CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR SPEED, HIRE, AFFIRM TO CONDUCT A DIVERSITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO BRING THIS UP AT THE COUNCIL MEETING TO VOTE ON IT TOO, TO BRING IN AN OUTSIDE FIRM.
SO I'M TRYING TO MENTION THAT, OR MAYBE SHE WASN'T AWARE I DON'T CALL.
I THINK THEY WENT ON A BASE FROM OUR MEETING THAT WE HAD LAST AS THE WHOLE GROUP MEETING, BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AT THE WHOLE GROUP.
BUT I REMEMBER SEEING THAT, CAUSE I REMEMBER GETTING THE EMAIL THAT, UH, A NOTICE ABOUT THE AGENDA COMING UP FOR THE CITY COUNCIL.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY PUT IT ON THE THURSDAY.
NORMALLY THEY HAVE THESE ON TUESDAY NIGHTS, BUT IT DID SAY THEY WILL BE BRINGING UP RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY HIRE.
I JUST RECALL SEEING THAT WHEN THEY POSTED IT.
OH, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DIVERSITY NEEDS.
I DIDN'T THINK WE ASKED THEM TO, TO PULL THAT OUT YET, SO, BUT RIGHT.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK WE WERE READY TO AFFORD
[00:55:01]
ALL THAT STUFF YET, BUT WHEN WE LAST MEETING TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT I DIDN'T THINK WE WERE.SO I HAVE TO GIVE YOU ALONDA HEADS UP.
LIKE, HEY, YOU NEED TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
IF THEY'RE GOING TO ASK FOR THIS NOW, I MEAN, WE MAY NOT BE READY TO YEAH.
LONDON NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS.
SO I'LL PUT IT IN THE MINUTES THAT WE'RE ASKING THE QUESTIONS.
SO THE WORK SESSION REGARDING THIS INITIATIVE, I'M GONNA REACH OUT TO HER BECAUSE SHE KNOWS ABOUT THIS.
CAUSE I WAS, I W I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED WHEN I SAW THAT IT WAS THIS, THIS MORNING WHEN I LOOKED AT IT THAT I, UM, DIDN'T THINK WE WERE READY TO MOVE ON TO THAT JUST YET.
I DON'T, I MEAN, WE, WE EVENTUALLY, I THINK WE'LL NEED THIS.
I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO VOTE ON IT NOW.
THANK YOU, FRED, FOR INCLUDING THAT IN THE MINUTES.
THAT IS TOTALLY NEW DESTINATION.
WELL, UM, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO REITERATE BEFORE WE ADJOURN FOR EVENING? NO.
HEY, WELL, I CALL THE EDUCATION CAN BE MEETING FOR THE HEBREW HEIGHTS, CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN, AN ACTION COMMISSION AT 8:59 PM ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH, 2020.
AND, UM, SO I GUESS AS FAR AS OTHER MEETING SCHEDULE IT, WHAT DO WE NEED? WELL, IT'S THE FOUR OF US, RIGHT? SO THERE'LL BE THREE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE MAJORITY.
BUT I THINK WITH THAT THOUGH, BECAUSE I THINK THAT ON THE OUTREACH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE UNITY AND THE WORLD AFFAIR AND ALL THAT, THE UNITY THING IS RONDA'S.
SO, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT RHONDA HAS WORKED ON, SO WE MAY WANT TO POST ON RHONDA CAN GET ON BOARD BECAUSE THAT'S A, THAT'S A PROJECT THAT SHE'S, OR WE SKIP THAT FOR NEXT MEETING.
WITH WHATEVER OUTREACH THING, SHE MAY HAVE UPDATES OR, UM, PASSIVELY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE NEW VISIONS.
UM, BUT I DID SPEAK TO, UM, DEFINITELY WHITMORE AND HE INDICATED THAT THERE BE NO IN-PERSON, UM, MLK EVENTS IN DAYTON THIS YEAR FROM IT.
AND I HAVE TO THINK OF, WE MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR THING TOO, ESPECIALLY IF THIS IS GOING TO BE, UM, ON, UH, ON IF THIS IS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY JUST PUTS THAT ADVISORY OUT TODAY FOR STAY AT HOME THE NEXT THREE, FOUR WEEKS, IF THIS KEEPS INCREASING, WE MAY.
UM, AND IF THE GOVERNOR STEPS IN, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO A, DO A THING EITHER WITH SCHOOLS GOING ONLINE.
[01:00:01]
A FIVE MINUTE BREAK FOR THREE MINUTES, WHATEVER Y'ALL NEED.UM, AND THEN, UM, LET'S, LET'S, LET'S HAVE A MEETING CAUSE I DON'T WANNA, I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE W W UM, LET'S GO AHEAD AND MAKE IT.
AND IF ANYTHING, THAT WE CAN TABLE THE THING.
SO THE NEXT TIME, IF WE NEED TO, WHEN WE COME TO IT, SO YOU ALL HAVE THE AGENDA? YES.
SO I DON'T NEED TO SEND ANYTHING TO THAT EMAIL.
SO EMAIL WILL CAUSE THAT Y'ALL OKAY.
LET ME GET, DO YOU MIND TAKING MINUTES? LUBY? THANK YOU.
I'M NEEDING TO ORDER AT EIGHT OH TWO, THE, UH, MEETING FOR THE HUBER HEIGHTS, CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZENS.

WE ARE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, SO I DON'T, I DON'T.
SOME BYLAWS HAVE LIKE, UM, ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS.
SO WHEN YOU, EXCUSE THEM, THAT'S WHY YOU DO THAT.
SO IF THEY'RE THERE OR NOT, YOU CAN SAY, WELL, THEY WERE EXCUSED FROM THAT MEETING.
SO THAT COMES FROM THE MINUTES.

THE, UH, HE WRITES CULTURAL DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION OUTREACH COMMITTEE MISSION.
THE MISSION WAS OUTREACH SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE CDC IS TO CHAMPION AND ADVOCATE FOR CULTURE AND DIVERSITY INITIATIVES THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY AND BRING THE CITIZENS OF HUBER HEIGHTS TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE THE DIVERSE MULTICULTURAL POPULATION THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND DIALOGUE, AND AN APPRECIATION AND RESPECT FOR ALL PEOPLE.
THE PURPOSE OF OUTREACH COMMITTEE, THE PURPOSE OF THE OUTREACH COMMITTEE IS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT THE HUBER
[01:05:01]
HEIGHTS, CDC XC, TO THE GREATER HEBREW HEIGHTS, COMMUNITY IT'S GROUP ACTIVITIES AND MULTICULTURAL CITIZENS.THE OUTREACH ACTIVITIES SOUGHT BY THE COMMITTEE WILL BE THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT BRING TOGETHER PEOPLE OF ALL ETHNIC AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER AND MAKE THE PLACE THAT WE LIVE, WORK AND RELAX EVEN BETTER.
THE OUTREACH COMMITTEE WILL SPONSOR AND DIRECT SUMMIT EQUITIES WHILE SOURCING EXTERNAL OPPORTUNITIES IN WHICH TO CHANGE AND ADVOCATE.
MAYOR, DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THAT? WE GOT THAT LOOK GOING.
YEAH, I HAVE ON THE, ON THAT, WHERE WE DO ETHNIC AND CULTURAL AS WE INCORPORATE RELIGION IDENTITIES, HOW DO WE, UM, UM, SO WE WORD THAT TO INCLUDE, UM, YEAH, LITERALLY IF YOU READ OUR THINGS AT WORK, WE HAVE LIKE EIGHT THINGS LISTED IDENTITIES, YOU KNOW, PLANS, THINGS THAT, YEAH, I KNOW.
SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS? WHAT DO YOU THINK, WHAT DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE, OR SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS? BRING TOGETHER I'M OKAY WITH DEMOGRAPHICS, UM, OR BRING PEOPLE UP.
UM, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE, UM, THAT BRING TOGETHER A FEWER HEIGHTS TO LEARN ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE, WE WANT EVERYBODY TO BE, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST, UM, LIKE THAT.
SO WE SAY SOMETHING LIKE TO, TO BRING TOGETHER ALL PEOPLE TO LEARN UP OR ALL PEOPLE OF HUBER HEIGHTS OR HOWEVER WE WANT TO ALL PEOPLE, INSTEAD OF SAYING OF ALL DEMOGRAPHICS OR IF YOU DON'T THINK WE NEED MAYBE THAT LINE JUST TO BRING TOGETHER ALL PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER AND MAKE THE PLACES THAT WE LIVE WORK, YOU KNOW? OKAY.
SO WE TALKING ABOUT LAND FIVE AND THE PURPOSE, RIGHT.
BRING TOGETHER ALL PEOPLE CUTTING OUT FOR SOME REASON, MAN.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO, UM, LET ME TURN THIS FAN.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO LIKE LIST SEPARATE LINK.
CAUSE I THINK THE GOAL IS TO BRING TOGETHER EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST SO SAY, SAY, BRING TOGETHER ALL PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER.
SO YOU SAID, TAKE THIS WHOLE LINE OUT.
AND THEN WE DON'T HAVE, I JUST THINK IF WE JUST KEEP, IF WE JUST ETHNIC AND CULTURAL, WE JUST STICK WITH RACE AND, AND WHERE THEY'RE FROM INSTEAD OF REALLY COVERING RELIGION AND IDENTITIES AND INCLUSIONARY.
I THINK THAT'S WHERE I THINK WE DO NEED TO, WE DO FOCUS ON ETHNIC CULTURAL THINGS A LOT MORE, BUT I JUST THINK, UM, IF WE JUST STAY THOSE, WE THEN LEAVE OUT A WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE, WHO MAY NOT BE ETHNIC AND CULTURAL, YOU KNOW, AND THEY MAY BE LIKE OF THE LGBTQ TA OR HAVE A RELIGION, YOU KNOW, SO MAKE SURE WE BRING THEM.
SO SHOULD I SAY PEOPLE OF HUBER HEIGHTS OR OF OUR PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY? I THINK OF OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE COMMUNITY CAN BE IN MANY DIFFERENT THINGS TO START STUDY.
SO, YOU KNOW, WELL, LET ME, LET ME, LET ME READ THE SENTENCE AGAIN.
OUTREACH ACTIVITY SOUGHT BY THE COMMITTEE WILL BE THOSE, THE COMMUNITY THAT BRING TOGETHER ALL PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER AND MAKE THE PLACE THAT WE LIVE, WORK AND RELAX EVEN BETTER.
MAYBE JUST LEAVE IT LIKE THAT, LEAVE IT LIKE THAT.
I THINK BECAUSE WE SAY COMMUNITY, GUESS IT'LL JUST BE D YEAH.
SO YOU'RE BRINGING TOGETHER THE COMMUNITY.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT REPETITIVE, RIGHT? YEAH.
I THINK HOW YOU READ IT SOUNDED.
THAT MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT.
SO I'M SAVING IT AND I'M REMOVING THE DRAFT OFF HERE AND I WILL FORWARD THIS TO ALONDA IN SOME
[01:10:01]
FASHION.HOW DO YOU GET THAT DRAFT OFF OF THERE? AND IF YOU'RE SEEING ME SQUINTING IS BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE I'M READING MY BIFOCALS.
I JUST PICKED UP THESE NEW GLASSES EARLY IN THE WEEK AND MY BIFOCALS ARE NOT WORKING.
SO WHENEVER I'M TRYING TO READ ON THE COMPUTER, I CAN'T SEE IT.
SO I'M BACK TO THE DOCTOR TOMORROW.
CAUSE I'M TELLING HIM I'M LIKE THESE BICYCLES JUST NOT WORKING BECAUSE I'M REALLY TRYING TO READ WRITING DOWN HERE, BUT I GOTTA LOOK UP MY HOME OFFICE AT WORK.
I HAVE A HUGE MONITOR SO I CAN SEE BETTER WITHOUT HAVING TO SQUINT, BUT THIS LAPTOP, OH MY GOODNESS.
MY STUDENTS WERE ASKING ME TODAY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? I'M LIKE, I CAN'T READ THEM.
WELL, THAT JUST COMES FROM THEIR COMPUTERS ALL DAY LONG AND SCREENS AND YOU'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH AND IT'S TAKING LONGER TO ADJUST.
SO IF YOU SEE ME DOING THAT, THAT'S JUST BECAUSE I'M REALLY TRYING TO READ THEM.
AND I DO HAVE THE PRINT FRIG AND JUST, I, THESE BIFOCALS ARE NOT WORKING.
SO WHAT, WE'VE DOWN THE AGENDA HERE.
UM, REVIEW OF THE, AND THAT'S OUR OLD BUSINESS ITEM, A, UM, OLD BUSINESS ITEM B.
UM, WE HAVE EVENTS AND CALENDAR, UM, AND UNDER A ROMAN NUMERAL ONE IS THE VIRTUAL EVENT, UH, THAT WE WERE SCHEDULED TO, UM, DISCUSS TODAY.
UM, RHONDA NOT BEING HERE, WE'LL TABLE THAT, UM, UNTIL WE CAN, UM, AND MAYBE EVEN, AND LET'S DO THIS BY EMAIL IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, CAUSE SHE HAS SOME, SOME THAT NEEDED TO BE COMMUNICATED TO THE COMMITTEE.
I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION, AT LEAST DELIBERATE ON WHAT IS AND IS NOT POSSIBLE, UM, BEING VIRTUAL, UH, YEAH, WE CAN DO SOME VIRTUAL EVENTS, BUT YOU KNOW, UM, FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, BUT WE NEED TO, IF SHE HAS SOME IDEAS ON WHAT THAT IS AND LET'S, LET'S GET WHAT HER AND GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO UNDER THAT.
A BULLET TO ROMAN NUMERAL TWO, UH, THE CITY OF DAYTON WHITMORE.
UM, I DID SPEAK WITH, UH, UH, DR.
WHITMORE INDICATED THAT, UM, THAT ANYTHING THAT THEY DO HAVE IS GOING TO BE VIRTUAL.
THERE WILL BE NO MARCH THIS YEAR, UH, SPONSORED BY HIS ORGANIZATION, UM, DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, EVEN THOUGH IT'S OUTSIDE, DIDN'T WANT TO RUN THE RISK.
UM, AND HE HIMSELF HAD, UH, SOME ILLNESS IN HIS FAMILY AND, UH, WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIM.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO A MARCH.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S, IF EVEN IF THE CITY KNOW PERMITTED, UM, BASED ON THE GOVERNOR'S, UM, MANDATES, WHATEVER, WHATEVER COMES DOWN FROM THE STATE.
SO WE, WE MAY HAVE TO PUSH THAT TO DECEMBER, TO MAKE A DECISION, TO SEE WHAT KIND OF RESTRICTIONS WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON FOR A PHYSICAL EVENT, EVEN AT THE, UM, NEW VISIONS, UM, CHURCH THAT RHONDA HAD PLANNED.
UM, BUT WE JUST NEED TO GET, GET RHONDA IN THIS MISCOMMUNICATION OR THIS CONVERSATION AND SEE WHERE THAT'S GOING TO DIRECT US, UH, WORLD AFFAIR, ITEM C OR FOR ITEM C.
UM, AND AGAIN, COVID SPIKES AGAIN.
UM, I CONTACTED MY, UH, PERSONALITY, UH, DAYTON CONVENTION CENTER AND SHE WAS NOT AWARE TO DATE WHETHER THAT'S GOING TO GO OR NOT.
AND THERE'S A LOT HANGING IN THE BALANCE, UNFORTUNATELY.
UM, THAT'S WHO RUNS THE WORLD AFFAIR.
CAUSE I, I WORK WITH THE, WITH THE, THE ORGANIZATIONS, UM, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS LAST NIGHT AT, UM, THE ASIAN AMERICAN COUNCIL MEETING.
THEY, UM, THEY WILL CANCEL IF THEY, IF THIS DOESN'T GET BETTER.
CAUSE THEY, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD INTENDED ON.
WE ENDED UP CANCELING LAST YEAR'S WORLD AFFAIR AND MOVED TO OCTOBER AND THEN IT DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER.
SO WE CANCELED WORLD AFFAIR AGAIN.
SO I, UM, THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO, BUT I KNOW THAT THE ORG WILL, UM, WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IF, IF IT'S NOT ANY BETTER.
SO I THINK IT'S AN AGAIN, UP IN THE AIR OF HOW NEXT MAY LOOK LOOKS LIKE.
WELL THE GOOD THING IS THERE'S TWO COMPANIES THAT ARE WORKING ON, UM, VIABLE VACCINES.
UM, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH METHODOLOGY, BUT, UM, YEAH,
[01:15:01]
WE'LL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER, BUT UH, YEAH, THERE'S SOME ISSUES AND I, I SAY IF ENOUGH OF Y'ALL TAKE THE VACCINE AND I WON'T HAVE TO, UM, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT SHE SAYS IT'S SAFE.SO THE WORLD MAY NOT HAPPEN AND WE'RE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THAT.
AND IF SOMETHING CHANGES, COULD YOU LET US KNOW AND I'LL CHECK IT.
WHEN WAS THE WORLD OF LIKE A TABLING THERE OR, UM, QUITE POSSIBLY, OR, UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE NEVER ATTENDED A WORLD OF IT.
I'VE I'VE ATTENDED, UM, THERE'S 47 OF THEM.
I HAVE ATTENDED LIKE 44 OF THEM.
UM, WE USED TO DO THE KOREAN BOOTH, MY MOM WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND THEN I DO IT NOW WITH THE ORIGAMI ORGANIZATIONS, BUT, UM, IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO, WHEN THEY DO OPEN BACK UP, IT'S AN AWESOME AND AWESOME THING THAT I'M READING, HAVING DAYTON.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT DOING WITH THE WORLD OF FAIR.
CAUSE I KNOW, UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE WORLD AFFAIRS.
USUALLY WHAT IT IS IS CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE A BOOTH AND THEY FOOD FROM THEIR COUNTRY AND STUFF.
SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANTED US TO DO.
CAUSE I DON'T AT THE WORLD AFFAIR.
THEY DON'T HAVE LIKE THESE FROM OREGON'S OTHER ORGANIZATIONS OTHER THAN THE CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS DO THEIR THING.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT, UM, WHAT CAPACITY WE WOULD DO WITH THE WORLD AFFAIR.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING.
CAUSE LIKE, LIKE EVEN, EVEN LIKE WRIGHT'S DAY OR SOMETHING, WE DON'T HAVE TABLES THERE.
I MEAN, WE DON'T, IT'S NOT HOW THAT'S NOT AN EVENT, HOW THEY SET UP THAT EVENT.
THE ONLY THING I SEE AT THEIR EVENT IS, UM, ALL THE CULTURAL ORDS HAVE THEIR FUNDRAISING THERE.
THEY SELL FOOD, THEY DO DANCING, THEY DO ENTERTAINMENT FROM AROUND THE WORLD, BUT THERE ISN'T LIKE A, UH, SEPARATE TABLES FOR ORDERS FOR OUTSIDE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE NOT PART OF NOT THOSE CULTURALS.
I THINK RON, WHEN SHE HAD MENTIONED THIS, IF YOU RECALL FRED, AT OUR LAST MEETING, SHE WANTED HUBER HEIGHTS TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR THAT IS DONE AT THE CONVENTION CENTER.
THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT, WARFARE, WHAT ELSE? WE WERE DOING A CULTURAL FAIR FOR THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS THAT WAS PLANNED.
AND WE WERE, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE, I WAS WORKING WITH WITH THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR COMMISSION THEN.
SO WE WERE HAVING THAT EVENT AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MAY 15, BUT COVID HIT AND WE ENDED UP CANCELING IT.
NOW THAT EVENT, WHAT WE HAD PLANNED ON WAS SIMILAR TO THE WORLD AFFAIR, WHERE WE HAD LIKE THE FILIPINO GROUP, THE TURKISH GROUP.
AND I THINK THERE WAS A PUERTO RICAN GROUP THAT PANAMA GROUP THAT WE HAD THEM ALREADY SET UP.
UM, AND THE CHINESE GROUP, RHONDA HAS A, AND B HAS A LIST OF THOSE WHO WERE CONFIRMED.
UM, THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE SELLING THEIR FOOD, JUST LIKE THE WORLD AFFAIR.
THEY WERE GOING TO DO THEIR ENTERTAINMENT.
BUT WE ALSO WERE GOING TO DO TABLING OF LIKE COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR IMMIGRANTS OR COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR, UM, WOMEN, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WE HAVE A COMMUNITY RESOURCES AS WELL AT THIS.
UM, SO IT WAS GOING TO BE LIKE AN OUTDOOR FESTIVAL AND IT WAS GOING TO BE AT THE AMPHITHEATER, RIGHT? LIKE SORT OF LIKE HOW WE HAD THE MARIGOLDS FESTIVAL AND STUFF.
SO EVERYBODY HAD A TABLE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A STAGE FOR THE DANCING AND ENTERTAINMENT.
AND THEN WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A CHILDREN'S AREA AND YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT, WHERE THE CHILDREN'S DO ACTIVITY.
CAUSE I WAS, MY, MY OFFICE CENTER WAS GOING TO RUN THE CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY WHERE THEY WOULD DO HANDS-ON ETHNIC CULTURAL CRAFTS, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, WE WERE GOING TO DO A GIVEAWAY BASKET.
WE HAD ALL KINDS OF THINGS PLANNED AND THEN COVID HIT.
AND SO HAVING TO, UM, CANCEL THAT.
SO THAT IS ONE THING I KNOW THAT THE ARTS AND CERTIFICATION COMMITTEE, I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AT THE RESET WAS, DO WE WANT THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE TO STILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN.
THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT EVENT, BUT, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS NOW GOING TO BE UNDER THE CULTURAL, OUR CDC CDAC D WHATEVER WE, YEAH, I THINK FROM OUR LAST MEETING, IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT WE WOULD BE THE LEADS, RIGHT.
SO WE NEED TO GET SOME INFORMATION FROM THEM.
THE COST OF THAT EVENT, DID THAT COST THE CITY ANYTHING? YEAH.
[01:20:02]
FINDING THE TABLES AND I THINK THEY WERE PROVIDING, UM, MAYBE THEY WERE PRAYING IN SPACE, THE ELECTRICITY, WE WERE GOING TO BRING IN FOOD TRUCKS BECAUSE IT WAS A LOT OF ETHNIC FOOD TRUCKS.UH, WE WERE GOING TO BRING THAT IN AND EVERYBODY ELSE BASICALLY SOLD THEIR OWN THINGS.
LIKE THEY DID THEIR OWN FOOD, THEY DID THEIR OWN.
WE WOULD JUST, THE CITY WOULD JUST PROVIDE THE SPACE AND THE, UM, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE TABLE AREA THAT'S AFTER THIS EVENT, THAT'D BE NAPKINS AND PAPER CUPS AND ALL OF THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WE WORKED WITH, UH, JOSH KING WITH THE PARK, JUST LIKE THEY DO THE FARMER'S MARKET.
WE'D HAVE TO VOLUNTEER, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY COME IN AND CHECK IN AND WE WORKED AT THE EVENT, THAT'S WHAT, HOW, UM, HOW I WAS RUNNING THE CHILDREN'S THING.
SO I WASN'T SURE WHAT, BECAUSE I WASN'T, I'M NOT, I WASN'T ON THE BEAUTIFICATION THAT RHONDA WAS ON THE BEAUTIFICATION AT THE TIME WHEN SHE, WHEN THEY REACHED OUT TO ME TO, TO START THIS.
SO, SO THEY'RE TRYING TO GIVE UP THIS WORLD OR HOSTING THIS WORLD AFFAIR EVENT AND PASS IT OFF TO US.
THAT'S WHAT I GOT OUT OF WHAT YOU SAID.
WE WERE JUST NOT SURE IF, IF IT SHOULD BE UNDER, UM, GRANTED THAT RHONDA HAD TALKED ABOUT, RHONDA HAD REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT THIS TOO.
IT SHOULD BE UNDER THE, UH, OUR COMMISSION BECAUSE IT'S A CULTURAL THING VERSUS CONTINUING BEING UNDER, UM, ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION ARTS, A BEAUTIFICATION, I THINK WE'LL TAKE IT, YOU KNOW, THEY WILL STILL RUN WITH IT.
BUT I MEAN, I THINK WE WERE THINKING OF, UM, BECAUSE THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT RHONDA AND I HAD WORKED ON AS PART OF ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION.
WE WERE LIKE WANTING TO BRING THIS TO OUR COMMISSION.
SINCE NOW WE'RE ON THIS COMMISSION AND IT'S A CULTURAL EVENT.
THE MLK WAS AN ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION THING LAST YEAR.
AND RON DOES NOW WANTING THIS TO BE UNDER, IT SHOULD BE UNDER HOURS BECAUSE WE ARE NOW THE NEW CULTURAL DIVERSITY.
I AGREE WITH THIS PARTICULAR BOARD AND COMMISSION BASED ON OUR PURPOSE OVERALL.
AND RHONDA COULD, AGAIN, SHE COULD TELL YOU A LOT MORE DETAIL ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT SHE HAD STARTED.
I WAS BROUGHT INTO IT BECAUSE MY CONNECTIONS IN A WHO I KNOW, AND I KNEW ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS, THE CULTURAL AND ORGANIZATION, SO I HELPED CONNECT THEM.
AND WE WENT TO THE CITY AND PRESENTED IT TO THE COUNCIL.
TO HAVE THIS EVENT THINGS THOUGH, I'M ASSUMING WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN BECAUSE WE ONLY MADE IT LAST YEAR, HAD TO SPEND MONEY AND BUDGET ON IT LAST YEAR.
SO I THINK THEY OKAYED IT CAUSE WE DID A PRESENTATION AT THE CITY COUNCIL AND WE ENDED UP HAVING TO CANCEL THE EVENT BECAUSE OF COVID.
SO I DON'T THINK, UM, I HONESTLY DON'T THINK WE NEED TO, UM, DO ALL THAT AGAIN.
I THINK WE COULD JUST SAY THIS WAS AN EVENT THAT WE HAD TO CANCEL THAT WE'RE POSTPONING NEXT YEAR.
BUT, UH, I WOULD BE ON A DIFFERENT BUDGET.
I WONDER HOW, UM, SEE, I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION DOES THAT.
DID THEY HAVE TO LINE ITEM EACH OF THEIR EVENTS, YOU KNOW, LIKE THEIR FILM NIGHTS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
HOW DO THEY, UM, HOW WAS THAT CHARGED? IS THAT, WILL THE CITY COVER THAT BECAUSE THIS IS A CITY EVENT OR IS IT, OR DO WE HAVE TO BUDGET EVERYTHING? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YOU KNOW? YEAH.
YOU SAID IT WAS IN MAY, RIGHT LAST.
WHAT, YOU KNOW WHAT WE CAN, I THINK IT WAS MAY 30TH THE LAST WEEK AND I'M AT THE TWO MEXICAN WORLD AFFAIR WAS FIRST WORLD AFFAIR WAS THE 15TH.
THE 30TH WAS THE, UH, IT WAS THE LAST WEEKEND IN MAY.
IT WAS LIKE FROM TWO TO EIGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THE LAST SATURDAY IN MAY IS LIKE THE 29TH.
SO IT WAS DURING THE, UM, WELL, THAT'S NOT MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
AND I'M LOOKING AT CALENDAR FOR 2021.
SO IF WE WERE GOING TO PUT A DATE ON IT, UM, TENANTS BEGIN PLANNING FOR IT.
UM, THAT, THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP THE DATE TOO AS WELL, BECAUSE, UM, THAT I WANTED TO BRING UP THAT A POSSIBLE CHANGE DATE.
I'M THINKING BECAUSE WORLD AFFAIRS THE SAME MONTH AND THIS, THE ORG THAT REACHED OUT TO ME THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO DO THIS AS WELL, BECAUSE IT
[01:25:01]
WAS A NEW EVENT AND THEY WERE EXCITED, BUT THEY DID BRING UP TO ME, THE CONCERN OF THEY WILL BE OVERSTRETCHED WITH THEIR FUNDS AND THEIR PEOPLE BECAUSE THE WORLD AFFAIR IS THEIR MAIN EVENT AND THEY WILL BE DOING THE WORLD FAIR THAT SAME MONTH.SO IF WE CAN LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK WE DIDN'T DO JUNE BECAUSE THE 4TH OF JULY, BUT IF IT'S NOT AN ARTS OF BEAUTIFICATION THING, THEN WE WON'T CONVICT CONFLICT WITH THE BEAUTIFICATION EVENTS.
DOES THAT MAKE THE ARTS, THE AMB COMMITTEE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT IN JUNE BECAUSE THEY HAD THE 4TH OF JULY WHERE WE ARE OUR COMMISSION DOESN'T DO THE 4TH OF JULY EVENT.
SO MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD, AS WE MOVE IT TO LIKE JUNE TO GIVES THOSE ORGS THAT, UM, WE ARE TRYING TO BRING IN DIFFERENT GROUPS, TIME TO RECOVER FROM THEIR BIG EVENT RATHER THAN A WEEK OR TWO LATER AFTER THEIR HUGE EVENT.
AND THEY WILL, AND THEY'RE LIMITED ON RESOURCES TO CAUSE A LOT OF CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS, LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS THEIR BIGGEST FUNDRAISER AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT THIS YEAR.
SO DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF PLANS THEY HAVE THIS YEAR TOO.
AND THEY'D BEEN HIT HARD WITH NOT HAVING ALL THEIR EVENTS.
SO IF WE WERE GOING TO MOVE IT, WE'D BE LOOKING AT LIKE THE SECOND WEEK IN JULY.
THAT WOULD BE A BETTER BECAUSE THEN WE ALSO ARE NOT COMPETING WITH THE WORLD OF FAIR BECAUSE IT'S A SIMILAR AND IT'S ALMOST A MONTH AWAY ON THE 12TH.
I'M REALLY TRYING TO AVOID THE FIFTH.
THAT'S WHAT I'M REALLY TRYING TO DO.
SO IF WE WERE GOING TO PUT A TENTATIVE DATE ON THERE ON OUR, UM, W W WHAT WOULD WE CALL THIS EVENT? WHAT DID YOU KNOW? ON-PREM REMEMBER WHAT WE CALL, LET ME LOOK REAL QUICK.
THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE MINUTES THERE WE HAD A NAME FOR IT, BUT WE WEREN'T, I DIDN'T THINK, I DON'T THINK WE CAN USE THE WORLD OF, CAUSE I THINK THAT'S A, UM, THAT'S A TRADEMARK NAME WITH THAT, BUT LET'S SEE.
I, IT WAS, I THOUGHT IT WAS CALLED CULTURAL FAIR.
I'M TRYING TO, UM, LOOK AT MY, I TYPED LIKE 90 SOMETHING PLUS WORDS.
I THINK IT WAS CALLED, UM, THE CULTURAL AFFAIR RIGHTS, CULTURAL AFFAIR.
I'D HAVE TO FIND THE HEBREW HEIGHTS CULTURAL FESTIVAL.
I THINK IT WAS FESTIVAL IS WHAT WE CALLED IT.
CULTURAL FESTIVAL, THE HEBREW HEIGHTS.
I WILL LOOKING FOR IT WHEN WE, AND IT'S NORMALLY HELD AT THE, UH, THOMAS CLOUD PART OF IT, THE, UM, PICKLED WORD AMPHITHEATER.
W WHAT IS THAT? THAT'S IT OKAY.
THE HEBREW MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
WE, WE DO IT AT LIKE THE, I MEAN, IF THAT'S, WELL, THAT'S OUTSIDE TOO, SO THAT SHOULD BE OKAY.
CAUSE IT WAS ON MAY SATURDAY, MAY 30TH FROM TWO TO 6:00 PM AND THEIR APPLICATION.
I'LL SEND YOU THIS, UH, CAUSE THERE'S AN APPLICATION AND, UM, EVENT FIRE.
SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.
AND WHEN DID YOU ALL START ADVERTISING THIS? ABOUT TWO, THREE MONTHS OUT.
UH, WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN JANUARY AND I THINK FEBRUARY IS STILL GOING OUT.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IF THE VACCINE TAKES CARE OF MOST OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE, UM, AND IF INFECTIONS ARE STABLE DISSIPATING, ONE OF THE TWO, I THINK BY THE TIME JUNE ROLLS AROUND IT'S WARMER, PEOPLE WILL BE READY TO COME OUTSIDE.
I'M HOPING SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE MOVING PARTS.
I THINK YET WE NEED TO GET IT ON THE CALENDAR SO WE CAN LET EVERYBODY ELSE KNOW THAT WE CAN DO IT THAT DAY.
SO, UM, WE DON'T STEP ON ANYBODY'S TOES.
SO JUNE 12TH, LET ME PUT THAT ON MY CALENDAR.
YOU SAID TWO TO EIGHT, TWO TO SIX
[01:30:02]
IT'S ONLY FOUR HOURS.WE WERE, WELL, WE WERE GOING TO START SMALL AND THEN, UM, AND THEN SEE HOW, HOW IT WENT.
SO THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU, THAT YOU HAD DONE THIS? WELL, WE, YEAH, WE HADN'T DONE IT YET.
AND THAT THE GROUPS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COMING, THEY WERE GOING TO PROVIDE THESE CHAIRS AND TABLES, ET CETERA.
WE WOULD ONLY PROVIDE ELECTRICITY.
HOW DOES BELL EICHELBERGER? I C H E L B E R G E R R BECAUSE THAT'S CITY.
SO WE CAN, UM, THERE'S NO CHARGE TO USE THAT IF WE'RE DOING THE CITY OF BET.
AND HE'S AT SU SIX, THE ONLY CONFLICT I WOULD SEE THAT WOULD BE IF WE MAY HAVE TO MOVE THE TIME BECAUSE, UM, THE FARMER'S MARKET IS 10 TO TWO AT THAT LOCATION.
THAT'S A NEW THING THAT THEY'RE HAVING, THEY HAD THIS YEAR THAT THEY WILL HAVE PROBABLY NEXT YEAR AT THAT SAME TIME.
I, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN, IT'S A POPULAR YEAH.
CAUSE HOW MANY RTB VACATION WHEN THEY WERE PLANNING THIS EVENT, MIA, HOW MANY GROUPS DID THAT COMMISSION PLAN TO INVITE? WELL, THEY SEND OUT APPLICATIONS TO ALL THE CULTURAL.
I GAVE THEM A SPREADSHEET OF ALL THE CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS, TWO OF THEM.
AND THEY MAILED OUT, UM, LIKE A MASS EMAIL TO ALL THE CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY THEY GOT BECAUSE HE STOPPED PLANNING IN MARCH.
SO IT WAS LIKE, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE A DECENT EVENT.
THERE ISN'T A CULTURAL FESTIVAL.
THAT'S ALL THAT HUBRIS I'VE EVER HAD.
AND THE ONLY OTHER CULTURAL FESTIVALS WE HAVE ARE THE BIG ONES, LIKE THE GREEK FESTIVAL, THE LEBANESE FESTIVAL.
AND I THINK WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING SMALL THAT THE CITY CAN ENJOY AND NOT HAVE WHERE THE FAMILY IS.
UM, I THINK THAT WAS OUR GOAL WAS WE'LL START THIS AND MAYBE THIS WILL BE A BIGGER ONE EVENTUALLY DOWN THE LINE.
LIKE I SAID, UM, WE MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT TIME-WISE OF TWO MAY NOT WORK BECAUSE OF THE, UM, FARMER'S MARKET.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE A FARMER'S MARKET LAST YEAR, SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
SO WE MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT FOUR TO EIGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE AT, TOWARDS THE EVENING.
UH, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WORKS OR I THINK, I WOULD THINK THE CHALLENGE WITH THAT IS YOU NEED TO CLEAN FOR FREE, CAUSE IT'S GOING TO TAKE PEOPLE AN HOUR OR SO TO GET OUT.
UM, YEAH, SIX O'CLOCK SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, AND WE GOT THREE HOURS TO CLEAN UP EARLIER TO NOW.
OH, WE MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT LIKE A PARK, UM, CLOUD OR, UM, YOU KNOW, TOM CLOUD, I THINK BECAUSE IT'S METRO PARKS.
SO THERE MIGHT BE A FEE INVOLVED.
UM, I THINK WE CAN, THAT'S WHERE WE DO OUR 4TH OF JULY IN ALL OUR, OUR YOUTH, YOU KNOW, WE RUN THE PARKS.
THE WHY DOES, SO THE, MAYBE THE YMCA, I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT ALL WORKS.
I THINK, BUT I THINK THE CITY MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOME, I KNOW THEY HAVE CITY EVENTS AT METRO PARK, SO I DON'T KNOW CLOUD, SO.
SO AS FAR AS THE APPLICATION, SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING THE EVENT IN JUNE, RIGHT? SO HOW EARLY IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE SEND OUT APPLICATIONS TO OTHERS THAT MAY WANT TO PARTICIPATE? I WOULD SAY WE DO ABOUT THE SAME TIMELINE BY FEBRUARY IT'S MAIL APPLICATION, BECAUSE IT GIVES THEM TIME TO PLAN.
YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS TO PLAN.
SO THEY HEAR ABOUT IN FEBRUARY, WE'LL SOLIDIFY THE DETAIL TO MAKE SURE IT'S DOABLE,
[01:35:01]
GET ON THE CITY'S CALENDAR, MAKE SURE, UH, THE MAINTENANCE FOLKS ARE AVAILABLE IF WE'RE DOING IT AT EITHER PLACE BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO CLEAN UP, UM, AND, UM, ROSE AND OTHER VENUE.CAUSE THEY HAD THE, UH, I WENT TO A FOOD TRUCK RALLY THERE SATURDAY IN JUNE THOUGH.
OH, IF THEY DON'T HAVE A CON IF THEY HAVE A CONCERT YET.
THIS YEAR WAS THOSE EVENTS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY, ANY COSTS, SO, OKAY.
SO A WORLD A FAIR, WELL TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR TWO SIX, UM, WE'LL GET WITH SOME FOLKS AND SEE WHAT WE NEED TO, WHAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR.
I NOTICED POLICE THAT YOU'LL NEED, UM, IT DEPENDS ON HOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN WHAT OUR ANTICIPATED, UM, NOT ENROLLMENT, BUT UH, THIS PATIENT FROM US CITIZENS.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE FOR GETTING THE POLICE IN, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL TALK TO THE CITY MANAGER AND SEE WHAT WE NEED I WITH.
NO, UM, NO ON THAT, BECAUSE SHE WAS ON THAT ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION, SO SHE KNOWS YEAH.
ON THAT PLANNING THING AND IF IT'S THE, THE FARMER'S MARKET, BUT I THINK, UH, IT DEPENDS, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THERE'LL BE TOO MUCH IN THE WAY, BUT W W WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT.
SO TENTATIVELY TWO TO SIX ON THE, UM, THE 12TH, JUNE 12TH, IT MUST BE OUTSIDE.
SO NEW BUSINESS, THE STATUS OF THE BUDGET, UM, FOR THE, UH, THE OUTREACH COMMITTEE, UM, SINCE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE, UM, THOSE COSTS ARE GOING TO BE YET.
I THINK WE CAN PUT A BALLPARK FIGURE OUT THERE, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH IF ALL OF THE COSTS OF THAT KIND OF FESTIVAL IS COMING OUT OF THE BUDGET.
SO WHEN, WHEN I THINK OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT, GOING ON OUTSIDE, I'M THINKING, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE A POLICE PRESENCE.
THERE YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE, UM, MAINTENANCE OR WHOEVER, UH, THAT WORKS FOR THE CITY TO ARRANGE CLEANUP, UM, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
UH, YOU SAID THAT THE VENDORS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING OUT THEIR OWN TABLES ON THE APPLICATION THAT THEY ASKED THEM TO BRING THEIR OWN CANOPIES TABLES, CHAIRS, WHEREVER THEY, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CITY SERVICES IS THE BIGGEST PART OF THE COST.
SO WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT THAT IN OUR BUDGET.
THAT SHOULD BE PROVIDED, BUT LET'S SEE IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET WAS FOR LAST YEAR AND HOW THEY WERE ALLOCATING THOSE COSTS.
CAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD DETERMINING FACTOR OF WHAT OUR COSTS ARE GOING TO BE.
WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED MONEY FOR, FOR THIS COMMISSION COMMITTEE OUTREACH? I MEAN, YEAH, UNLESS WE DON'T KNOW WHAT, UM, I MEAN, WE'RE DOING THE, UM, UM, OKAY.
AND THAT'S REALLY NOT GOING TO COST ANYTHING, MAYBE A HONORARIUM FOR THE CHURCH.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO THAT.
AND IF WE HAVE TO DO, I THINK WE WERE LOOKING AT, IS IT GOING TO COST ANYTHING TO CLOSE OFF? CAUSE WE WANTED THE, THE ROAD CLOSED FROM THE CHURCH TO THE AMPHITHEATER BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO DO A MARCH.
SO WE'D HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO 'EM.
WELL, I DON'T THINK WE CAN CLOSE IT COMPLETELY.
CAN WE? WELL, I MEAN, THEY DO IT FOR LIKE THE MARATHONS AND THE, AND THE PARADE.
I THINK THEY DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR A MARCH LAST YEAR, BUT THEY DID IT AT THE, UM, AROUND SHORE PARK, AROUND THE, UM, AMPHITHEATER.
WE ARE NOW WANTING CHURCH MARCH UP.
BUT IF IT'S A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE, WE HAVE TO DO SOME WAY OF DOING A MARCH SAFELY WITHOUT TRAFFIC GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME.
WE'RE PERMITTED TO DO A MARCH.
BUT I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN ASK THE CITY IF THAT'S, IF THAT'S, YEAH.
WE CAN PERMIT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
CAUSE I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN WE DO OUR HOMECOMING PARADE OR, YOU KNOW, STAY AT HOME ORDER IN EFFECT IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY RIGHT NOW.
SO IF WE ARE VERGE, DECEMBER 17TH, I THINK THREE WEEKS OR THREE OR FOUR WEEKS.
21 DAYS I THINK IS WHAT THEY SAID.
CAN WE PULL A MARCH TOGETHER IN, IN LESS THAN A MONTH? SAY FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE WAITED UNTIL DECEMBER AFTER THAT
[01:40:01]
STAY AT HOME, ORDER MIGHT BE LIFTED AND THEN ORGANIZE A MARCH.IT'S NOT LIKE THIS MARCH IS, UM, IS SOMETHING OUT OF THE BLUE, IT'S A MARCH THAT EVERYBODY'S USING TO WIN.
RIGHT? IT'S IT'S, IT'S A MARCH THAT EVERYBODY SENDS THE PURPOSE.
IT'S IT'S UH, SOMETHING THAT'S, THAT'S BEING DONE ALREADY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
WE HAD IT THE FIRST TIME HERE LAST YEAR, I THINK LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST, FIRST THEY DID.
I DIDN'T ATTEND IT BECAUSE I WAS DAYTON ONE.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT, HOW, WHAT HUBRIS LOOK LIKE.
SO, UM, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE RHONDA IS.
RHONDA WAS PART OF THAT LAST YEAR.
UM, BUT I KNOW FOR DAYTON, WE CLOSE OFF ROADS AND WE MARCHED ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND EVERYTHING.
I'M JUST THINKING IF DAYTON DECIDES NOT TO DO THAT THIS YEAR, THOSE ARE THOSE PEOPLE MAY BE LOOKING AT OTHER, OTHER EVENTS THAT ARE GOING ON AND WE, SO WE MAY END UP HAVING MORE PEOPLE.
SO THIS COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO ASK THE CITY, IF WE CAN CLOSE OFF THAT ROUTE FROM IT'S JUST ONE ROAD IT'S SHOAL ROAD UP THERE TO CLOSE OFF THAT, TO GO UP TO THE AMPHITHEATER.
UH, YOU KNOW, I'M THINKING IF DAYTON'S NOT EVEN HAVING AN OKAY EVENT.
WELL ON THIS, BUT I TELL YOU WITH THIS CITY, YOU NEVER KNOW BECAUSE EVERYBODY CANCELED 4TH OF JULY.
AND WE HAD A 4TH OF JULY EVENT HERE IN THE CITY.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE, WHAT THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR PLANNING AID ENDED UP DOING.
THEY ENDED UP LIKE, WE MAY, I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS THEY DID WITH THE MARIGOLD FESTIVAL, TIES IT IN AND PLANNED IT.
AND THEN THE DAY BEFORE THE STATE CAME IN AND SAID, YOU'RE NOT HAVING IT.
SO THEY ENDED UP CANCELING IT AND THEN, THEN WE'RE OUT OF ALREADY PUTTING THEIR MONEY IN AND, YOU KNOW, BUYING THE FOOD.
SO, UM, YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO ANYBODY WHO'S PUT ALL THAT WORK IN AND THEN THE DAY BEFORE THE STATE SAYS, NO, YOU CAN'T DO IT.
SO I THINK WE DO NEED TO LOOK AT, UM, OTHER AREAS AREN'T DOING IT THEN.
IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING? YOU KNOW? OKAY.
THAT'S WHERE I'M SEE, I'M TORN ON THAT TOO.
CAUSE I WANT IT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE IN JANUARY.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING ANYBODY EXACT NAP IS COMMISSION.
I MEAN, WE CAN AT LEAST DO SOMETHING VIRTUALLY, YOU KNOW, TO COMMEMORATE COLLEAGUES.
UM, AS FAR AS WHAT THAT WOULD BE WELL, COULD THE OUTREACH EDUCATION CAN COLLABORATE ON A VIRTUAL SESSION AS FAR AS THE PURPOSE OF MLK AND JUST HAVE A DIALOGUE AND WHY IT'S RELEVANT TODAY.
OR EXACTLY EXACT PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO BE TALKING.
PROBABLY IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW, YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN THINK TO SHOW UP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S WHAT WE GET ALL THE TIME.
EVERYBODY'S LIKE, SO WHERE DO YOU NEED THE PEOPLE THAT NEED TO HEAR THE MESSAGE THAT OUR TRAINING DOES PROGRAMS DO? IT'S, IT'S NOT WHO, WHO I USUALLY GET AT MY EVENTS.
MY EVENTS ARE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY COMMITTED TO, OR, YOU KNOW, IS THAT NOT WHERE WE REALLY NEED TO HEAR IT? SO I THINK MAYBE WE CAN, UM, WE MAY BE ABLE TO PULL OFF MARCH.
I MEAN, IT'S UM, IF WE DO LIKE HOW WE DO THE RALLIES AND DEMONSTRATIONS AND STUFF THROUGHOUT THE, UM, DURING THIS PANDEMIC IS MAKE SURE PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR GROUPS.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE, UM, US AS COORDINATORS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY, YOU KNOW, MASCULINE REQUIRED CAUSE IT'S OUTDOORS OR DRIVE, UM, THE DRIVE THROUGH OR PEOPLE STAY IN THEIR CARS
[01:45:01]
AND JUST HEAR A SPEAKER SPEAK OUTSIDE THE CHURCH, YOU KNOW, DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.I HAVE A THING, WE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE WE CAN MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE SOCIALLY DISTANT AND YOU STAY IN YOUR OWN, YOU KNOW, YOUR OWN LITTLE FAMILY GROUPS.
SO, YOU KNOW, SO WHERE, WHERE COULD WE DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD, EVEN IF WE DON'T DO CARS, WE DID A, UM, BLACK LIVES MATTER VOICES RALLY AT, ON CAMPUS.
UM, BACK IN, UM, SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER, I DON'T REMEMBER.
IT'S THE ONE WHERE I THOUGHT YOUR MOM WAS AT JEAN.
AND WHAT THEY DID WAS, UM, THEY MADE IT, WE PUT CHAIRS AND THE CHAIRS WERE SEPARATED, SEPARATED, AND EVERYBODY HAD TO HAVE A SEAT.
SO, AND THEN IT HAD SPEAKERS COME.
AND, UM, WHEN YOU CAME IN, YOU CHECKED IN, YOU KNOW, AND THEN THEY, EVERYBODY SAT.
SO WE, WE REALLY CONTROLLED THAT AND HAD ABOUT, ABOUT 150, 160 PEOPLE.
AND WE HAD THE CITY LEADER SPEAK, WE HAD AS A VERY TEAM SPEAK, WE HAD, UM, NAACP THERE.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THINGS TO SPEAKERS LIKE THAT.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY DO.
THE CHURCH, I DON'T KNOW IF THE CHURCH CAN ACCOMMODATE, IF THEIR PARKING LOT'S BIG ENOUGH, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CHURCH, BUT, OR IF WE MOVE TO THE ICO BIRD AND WE HAVE THE CHAIRS SPREAD OUT.
SO THAT WAY WE MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE SEPARATED, YOU KNOW, AND STILL HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
EVEN IF WE HAVE THEM STAND, YOU JUST NEED TO REITERATE TO THEM THAT WE CAN'T BE GROUPED UP IN BIG GROUPS, YOU KNOW, AND MASK ARE REQUIRED.
I THINK IF WE KEEP IT OUTSIDE, WE COULD STILL HAVE THIS SAFELY.
I THINK THAT WILL DRY THROUGH TAP ENVIRONMENT.
SHE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT A THROUGH THOUGH.
NO, I THINK WE, MAYBE WE CAN DO THE INITIAL TALK CHURCH OUTSIDE SEPARATELY, AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN GET AN R CARD INSTEAD OF MARCHING AND OUR MARCH.
WE CAN KEEP NOT CROWDS OF PEOPLE TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, AS THEY'RE WALKING.
SO I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK OF WAYS TO DO THIS STILL AND YEAH.
SO START AT THE NEW VISION AND THEN DRIVE OVER.
BUT I MEAN, IF WE WANT TO MARCH, I STILL THINK WE CAN DO IT OUTSIDE AND SAFELY.
I MEAN, IF WE JUST, AGAIN, TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT MARCHING IN A HUGE ONE BIG CROWD ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, WE SPREAD IT OUT.
WELL, LET'S, LET'S, UM, LET'S BRING THAT BACK TO RHONDA, UM, AND, AND SEE WHAT SHE THINKS AND SEEING IF THE CHURCH CAN HELP FACILITATE THAT.
AND WHAT WOULD WE BE DOING IN, I GUESS WE WON'T GO IN AT ALL, UM, MARCH OVER TO UNCLE BURGLAR OR DRIVE OVER IF THE ROOM AND HERE'S PARKING SPACE THAT EICHELBERGER NOT NECESSARILY SEARCH DEPENDING ON HOW MANY CARS YOU HAVE, WHAT'S YOUR FACTOR.
IT WOULD BE WELL BE ON THE DAY THAT I THINK SINCLAIR'S NOT IN SESSION.
SO IT WOULD BE DATE ON MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY.
SO IT WOULD BE CLOSED, SO HAVE PARKING UP THERE.
SO WHAT'S THE COST OF THAT AND WE'RE STILL ON THIS BUDGET THING.
IT'S LIKE WE JUST NEED TO PUT A NUMBER ON IT JUST IN CASE, JUST IN CASE WE NEED SOME MONEY.
UM, WE DON'T MEET DISSIPATE, UH, FLYER, UH, PUBLISHING COSTS, UM, PRINTING FLYERS AND THINGS FOR THE, UH, THE, UH, CULTURAL FAIR, UM, CULTURAL FESTIVAL.
AND, UM, THINK WE NEED TO PUT COST FOR CITY SERVICES IN THERE.
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THE CITY SHOULD JUST AFFORD, BUT THAT'S ME.
UM, WE'LL TALK TO, UM, TO ROBERT SHOMER ABOUT THAT AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS.
UM, BUT LET'S JUST PUT IT JUST IN CASE WE HEAR ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT ARE, THAT OTHER GROUPS ARE HAVING, UM, WHERE WE ARE ADVOCATING, WE CAN HELP THEM PROMOTE THOSE THINGS.
[01:50:01]
PUT SOME COSTS IN THERE FOR THAT.SO I WOULD SAY NO MORE THAN ABOUT RIGHT NOW, 1500, UM, ASSUMING THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY COST RELATED TO THE, UM, THE FESTIVAL THAN THE, UM, MARTIN LUTHER KING EVENT, IF WE'RE GOING TO DO AN HONORARIUM FOR THE CHURCH, LET'S GO AHEAD AND PUT ANOTHER 500,000.
AND AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE INVOLVEMENT IS GOING TO BE, BUT JUST SO WE CAN GET YOLANDA SOME NUMBERS AND LINE ITEMS, UM, STUFF.
SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE Y'ALL THINK YOU CAN SPEND MONEY ON? NOT THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO FIND THESE TO SPEND MONEY ON, BUT REALIZE WHAT ARE YOU ASKING? UM, WHAT WE NEED TO DO, UM, AGENDA, BUT A NEW BUSINESS RIGHT NOW TO STATUS ON A BUDGET.
UM, RHONDA WANTED TO DO SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT DOING IT FOR THE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE, SO I SUB COMMITTEE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S AN ADVOCACY THING OR SHOULD IT BE AN OUTREACH THING? UM, ABOUT WHEN WE GET THE SMALL BUSINESSES, THE MINOR FROM BUSINESSES THAT COME IN AND OPEN UP HERE BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM DON'T HAVE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONIES IF WE WANTED TO DO EVER BEEN CUTTING.
CAUSE I, LIKE YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE NEW, I THINK THEY TALKED ABOUT IT AT OUR, UM, AT OUR, BUT I THINKING THAT, UM, TARA AND THEM WERE DOING THAT, SO I MAY BE STEPPING ON THEIR TOES.
SO MAYBE WE'LL JUST PAY FOR THAT.
LET THE, LET THE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE WORRY ABOUT THAT BUDGET.
I THINK ONE OF MY, LIKE I'M GOING BACK TO, THERE ARE MINUTES OR PURPOSE.
UM, DO WE, ARE WE GOING TO BE THE SUBCOMMITTEE THAT DOES ALL THESE EVENTS, IS THAT PART OF OUR OUTREACH OR IS THAT WHAT, WHAT EVENTS LIKE WE'RE DOING THE MLK THAT'S THAT? ARE WE LOOKING AT DOING ANYTHING ELSE MORE LIKE, UM, LIKE IF SOMETHING COMES UP SUCH AS LIKE THE, A UNITY RALLY THAT WE HAD FOR, UM, SHOULD WE ON EVEN EDUCATION? WELL, EDUCATION IS DIFFERENT, BUT OUTREACH, I'M THINKING, SHOULD WE HAVE SOMETHING IN OUR BUDGET JUST AS A, UM, I DON'T WANNA CALL IT EMERGENCY FUND, BUT A LIKE A LITTLE FUN THAT WE HAVE, IF WE NEED TO DO, UH, UH, AN EVENT, THAT'S NOT A PLAN, LIKE A BIG PLAN PROGRAM, LIKE RALLY.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS, THAT'S THE REASON I SAID, LET'S PUT THAT 1500 IN THERE.
SO OUT SUPPORTING OTHER EVENTS AND HELP SUPPORT THOSE FLYERS AND THAT SORT OF THING.
I KNOW WE MAY END UP HAVING TO DO MORE THAN JUST THESE TWO.
YEAH, WELL, WE WOULD, WE WOULD WANT TO DO MORE THAN THAT OUT AND THE IDEA OF WHAT OUTREACH FINDING THOSE THINGS.
AND THEY MAY COME ACROSS OUR DESK.
SOME OF IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE WE WERE ENGAGED IN OTHER THINGS, UM, UH, UH, FINDING, UM, THINGS TO SUPPORT THAT OTHER, YOU KNOW, AND ADVOCATE FOR NEW BRIDES.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE ARE PLANNING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WHAT THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE IS DOING.
AT LEAST HOW I SEE IT NOW, IF I'M WRONG, LET ME KNOW.
SO THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT, I MEAN, SO FOR THE BUDGET, UH, WE HAVE WHAT, $2,000 IN THERE, A 500 FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, 1500 FOR A VISIT THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, UM, NEEDS ASSESSMENT, UH, FOR OUTREACH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S GOING TO VARY FOR THE, THE, THE, THE, AND I'LL SAY THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE COMING UP, UM, THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
I JUST, I MEAN, I'VE NEVER DONE A NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR OUTREACH BEFORE, SO I MIGHT, WE MIGHT NEED A LITTLE INPUT ON THAT ONE.
I THINK, UM, WE DO ONE BIG DIVERSITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE CAN ADD ONTO THAT FOR OUTREACH IS LIKE, WHAT IF YOU WOULD GIVE, UH, ASKING CITIZENS TO FILL OUT A SURVEY? LIKE WHAT EVENTS WOULD THEY LIKE TO SEE? SO WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET SOME IDEAS OF WHAT CITIZENS WANT.
SO IF THEY WANTING LIKE, LIKE THE CULTURAL, LIKE THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL CAME FROM, TALKS FROM MANY PEOPLE ASKING WHY DON'T WE DO ANYTHING CULTURALLY, BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A DIVERSE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW? SO THAT'S WHAT I THINK.
AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, SO MAYBE WE CAN LOOK AT, UM, ADDING THAT, SOMETHING LIKE
[01:55:01]
THAT AS PART OF THAT, UM, PART OF THAT NEED THE BIGGER NEEDS ASSESSMENT IS LIKE, WHAT, WHAT EVENTS, WHAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT ARE THE CITY ARE LOOKING? ARE THEY LOOKING FOR, UH, MAYBE A SMALL BUSINESS FAIR OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR, UM, I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT RHONDA AND I HAD ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT IS SOME KIND OF A, LIKE A, NOT AT LIKE A RESOURCE FAIR WHERE WE CAN BRING IN, UM, GROUPS OF NON-PROFITS OR DIFFERENT RESOURCES THAT HELP THE UNDERREPRESENTED GROUP COMMUNITIES IN ARE LIKE, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT RESOURCES.I KNOW SPRINGFIELD DOES SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS, WHERE WE BROUGHT IN, UM, WHERE THEY BROUGHT IN DAYCARES, THEY BROUGHT IN SCHOOL SYSTEMS, THEY BROUGHT IN, UM, DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE FOOD BANKS.
THEY BROUGHT IN, UM, THE WOMEN'S CENTER, YOU KNOW, THEY BROUGHT IN DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HELP UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES IN EACH GROUP.
EACH GROUP HAD THEIR OWN TABLE.
SO PEOPLE CAN GO AROUND TO EACH WHATEVER RESOURCES WE COULD.
SO LIKE AT REESE, UH, COMMUNITY RESOURCE FAIR, NO SOMETHING THAT RHONDA WANTED TO DO, THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE BE PART OF THAT MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
AND THAT WAS AN, I TELL YOU, THAT WAS A CONTROVERSIAL ITEM ON THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE, BECAUSE SOME OF, SOME OF THE PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE THAT.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WANTED THEM TO HAVE PART OF THAT.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS WAS WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR OUR, UM, UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY, SUCH AS THEY ARE.
UM, I WILL BRING UP LIKE ABEL, WHO DOES, UH, LEGAL SERVICES FOR OUR IMMIGRANTS AND UNDER AN UNDOCUMENTED COMMUNITY, A DOCUMENTARY.
SO THEY PROVIDE THINGS LIKE THAT.
THERE'S A, UM, LEGAL RESOURCES, THERE'S HOUSING, YOU KNOW, HOUSING SERVICES FOR, UM, FOR LIKE FAIR HOUSING AND STUFF.
SO THERE'S ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS AREA THAT WORKS LIKE WITH THOSE GROUPS.
SO, UH, WE WOULD HAVE A COMMUNITY PART.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANTED TO STILL HAVE THAT AS PART OF THE MOST CULTURAL FESTIVAL, OR IF WE WANT TO HAVE A SEPARATE COMMUNITY RESOURCE, THANK HOW YOU'RE DESCRIBING IT.
THIS IS MORE OUTREACH OUTREACH, LIKE A BUSINESS FAIR, RIGHT.
IT, IT IT'LL BE SET UP LIKE A BUSINESS FAIR, LIKE JOBS FAIR, HOW THEY DO THAT, BUT IT WILL BE JUST A LIST OF ALL THE RES UH, IT'LL BE ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE HAVE, LIKE THE WHITE WCA, UH, JUST ABLE I'M, I'M JUST THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT THERE'S SO MANY NONPROFITS HERE.
AND I THINK IF WE HAVE IT IN ONE AREA THAT HELPS ALL OUR UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES, IT'LL BE AN AREA THAT THE RESIDENTS CAN COME TO AND GET ALL THOSE RESOURCES.
AND SOME OF THEM THEY MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT, BECAUSE I, I, WHEN I GO TO DIFFERENT FESTIVALS, I'VE LEARNED ABOUT NEW ORGANIZATIONS THAT I NEVER HEARD ABOUT.
LIKE, THIS IS SO INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY NOT BE AWARE OF, AND IT WOULDN'T COST US ANYTHING OTHER THAN, UM, FOR THIS, WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO SET UP THE TABLE TO WHATEVER THE CITY HAS TABLED WISE, BECAUSE A LOT OF NONPROFITS HAVE EITHER DON'T HAVE THAT SAME FUNDING AS THE BIG ORG CULTURAL PROBABLY DO THAT AT THE BOOSTERS NEXT TO THE POST OFFICE.
BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE IT ANYTIME OF THE YEAR INSIDE AND JUST HAVE IT AS THAT.
SO I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS, UM, AS A POTENTIAL OUTREACH PROJECT, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I WOULD LIKE TO GET PROBABLY A LIST OF THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE WOULD WANT TO INVITE AND THEN PUT IN, PUT THAT ON LIKE THE FACEBOOK UH, WHAT'S THAT THING CALLED, UH, YEAH.
IN THE FACEBOOK FORUM AND JUST TO GET PEOPLE'S OPINIONS ON WHO THEY WOULD WANT TO TALK TO IT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE DON'T LEAVE ANYBODY OUT.
CAUSE IT'S, I MEAN, WHEN YOU, CAUSE IT'S LIKE, IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WE COULD BRING IN SOME FOLKS TO TALK ABOUT, UM, HOME ECONOMICS, UH, TYPE THINGS, UM, UH, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, UM, FAIR HOUSING, LEGAL.
AND I MEAN, THERE'S JUST, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON.
UM, THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
UH, BUT THAT WOULD NEED TO BE INSIDE.
SO, I MEAN, EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL, UH, MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD PROBABLY LET AN, EVEN AT THE HIGH SCHOOL OR EITHER, I MEAN, CAUSE THEY HAVE THAT BIG AREA THERE WHERE YOU, UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK, WHAT WAS I IN THERE FOR SOMETHING HAD TO DO WITH SANTA CLAUS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, PROBABLY ABOUT EIGHT, NINE YEARS AGO,
[02:00:01]
BECAUSE WE DON'T DO THE HIGH SCHOOL.UM, NOW THE PARKING WOULDN'T BE WORK PARKING WHEN WORK CAUSE I KNOW WE DID, UM, STUDEBAKER, WHICH JUST THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE HAS A AS THE GYMNASIUM THAT THEY CAN DO THINGS ON THAT.
BUT I KNOW THE HIGH SCHOOL HAS THE, THE AREA BECAUSE I COULD HELP ALONG WITH THE, UM, AND I BROUGHT THIS UP BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS TODAY AT A MEETING.
UM, THEY, THE STATE IS WORRIED AND VERY CONCERNED THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO GRADUATE AS MANY STUDENTS BECAUSE OF ALL THIS ONLINE, BUT WE WON'T HAVE STUDENTS TO MEET THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS OR WE WILL HAVE OUR, OUR STUDENTS WILL BE BEHIND OUR 12 WILL BE SERIOUSLY BEHIND BECAUSE OF THIS CONSTANT MOVING ONLINE IN PERSON ONLINE, YOU KNOW? UM, SO THAT'S A BIG CONCERN IN EDUCATION-WISE TOO.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE WE CAN DO ALONG WITH THE SCHOOLS AS PART OF A RESOURCE FAIR OF, ARE THERE TUTORING SERVICES? ARE THERE SERVICES UP HELP PARENTS TO, YOU KNOW, FOR THIS, FOR EDUCATION WISE, YOU KNOW, ALL KINDS OF, AND I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES THE PARENTS ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH, UM, MEETING NEEDS.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HALF OF THIS STUFF EXISTED TOO, WAS LIKE, UM, SPECTRUM AND ATT BOTH HAVE PROGRAMS IF YOU WERE ON MEDICAID OR IF YOU'RE ON RECEIVING SNAP BENEFITS FOR LIKE $10.
SO HE DID, HE CALLED ACCESS PROGRAM.
SO THERE'S ALL THE THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WE COULD BRING OUT THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
SO I THINK THAT'S MY, MY THING OF, OF A RESOURCE FAIR.
LIKE THIS IS WE CAN HAVE THESE COMPANIES, YOU KNOW, COME AND THE BIGGER COMPANIES LIKE SPECTRUM OR ADT OR EVEN KROGER'S AND STUFF THEY WILL TEND TO SPONSOR.
SO WE CAN EVEN GET MONEY FROM, YOU KNOW, CARE SOURCE, SPONSORS QUITE A BIT OF THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
I MEAN, WE WANT TO MAKE IT BIGGER.
WE CAN, UM, WE CAN SOLICIT FUNDS FROM SPONSORSHIP TO THOSE BIG COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY LOOK FOR DICKS LIKE THESE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, JUST THE SPONSOR, THE BEST TIME TO DO AN EVENT LIKE THAT.
I WOULD THINK MORE, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THE SUMMER IS NOT, SO I THINK MORE OF A, UM, MAYBE IN THE FALL WE CAN, UM, MAYBE ABLE TO HELP KEEP US UP PAST THIS, UM, BEING RISK OF BEING CANCELED BECAUSE OF COVID AUGUST MAYBE.
LET'S BRING THAT BACK UP ON A NEW BUSINESS OR OLD BUSINESS ON THE NEXT MEETING.
UM, AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN CREATE A LIST OF, UH, DIFFERENT TYPES OF SERVICES THAT WE CAN, THAT, THAT, UH, COULD BENEFIT FROM.
UM, AND ESPECIALLY IN THOSE UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS AND WE'LL, UM, WE'LL, UH, WE'LL EXPLORE THAT A LITTLE IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
I DON'T WANT TO KEEP YOU ALL HERE TOO LONG TO MAKE, SO WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR THE BUDGET? YOU GOT A NUMBER OF THAT.
I'M I'M, I'M GOING BACK UP TO EIGHT, BUT SO WHAT DID WE PUT THAT 3000? WELL, 2,500 FOR THE MLK 1900 FOR OTHER EVENTS THAT WE ARE DOING.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER LADIES? NO, SIR.
EXCEPT A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO CHAIR.
I DO APOLOGIZE WHOLEHEARTEDLY FOR TAKING YOU AWAY FROM WHATEVER IT WAS YOU WERE ABOUT TO DO FOR THOSE FIVE MINUTES.
CAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT MEETING OR NOT MEETING FOR THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES.
SO WHEN IS OUR NEXT MEETING? WE ARE MEETING ON THE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH, RIGHT? RIGHT.
SO OUR FIRST MEETING IS GOING TO BE DECEMBER SOMETHING HERE, UH, UH, DECEMBER 2ND.
IT IS AT WHAT TIME? EIGHT W AND WE ARE MEETING AT EIGHT WITH THE, UH, OTHER, UM, EDUCATE EDUCATION COMMITTEE MEETING IS SATURDAY SEVEN O'CLOCK.
SO LET ME THROW THAT ON MY CALENDAR FOR THAT.
[02:05:02]
ALL RIGHT.HAVE A PLEASANT EVENING AND TRY TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE.
