AND I'M MY APOLOGIES THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE AGENDAS.
USUALLY WE HAVE THOSE FOR OUR MEETING PARTICIPANTS.
WE DO NOT HAVE THOSE PRINTED OFF FOR TONIGHT, BUT ARE THERE ANY CITIZENS THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS? NO CITIZEN COMMENTS.
WE WILL MOVE FORWARD TO NUMBER FIVE ON THE AGENDA WAS ACTUALLY IS NOT REFLECTED ON THIS AGENDA.
SO, SO YEAH, THIS ONE WAS NOT THERE.
THE CORRECT ONE, BUT NUMBER FIVE IS ACTUALLY SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
WE HAVE MR. GARY HOSKINS HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION.
AND YOU FEEL FREE TO TAKE THE PODIUM.
SO IT'S, UH, I'M GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE.
MY NAME IS GREG HOPKINS, UH, W D A O TODAY.
AND HE CALLED ME GARY AS WELL.
SO I THINK, WELL, MAYBE YOU, YOU MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE YOUR NAME.
AND I THINK I HAVE RHONDA 20 MINUTES.
I CAN DO IT AT 15 AND PLEASE ANYBODY HAS QUESTIONS? STOP ME.
SO GREG HOPKINS, I'M EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS OF GREATER DAYTON.
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO.
WE JUST OPENED A CENTER HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS ON CHAMBERSBURG ROAD, BACK IN JANUARY.
SO THAT'LL BE A PART OF THIS PRESENTATION AS WELL, OBVIOUSLY, BUT WE PROVIDE MEDICAL PRIMARY CARE SERVICES, DENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND WHAT WE REFER TO AS ENABLING SERVICES.
SO A PATIENT EDUCATION TRANSLATION ASSISTANCE WITH TRANSPORTATION AND FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY FOR OUR PATIENTS AS WELL.
AND OUR MISSION STATEMENT HERE IMPROVING LIVES BY PROVIDING QUALITY, PRIMARY AND PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THOSE IN NEED, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY SIX CONVENIENT LOCATIONS.
UM, OBVIOUSLY THE MOST IMPORTANT NEAR TO YOU IS THERE ONE HERE IN CHAMBERSBURG ROAD, BUT WE HAVE ALEX CENTRAL AND MIAMI SUBURB.
AND THEN THE OTHER FOUR CENTERS ARE IN THE CITY OF DATE AND JUST A PICTURE OF OUR CENTERS THERE.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME SCHOOL-BASED SERVICES.
SO, UH, WE PARTNER WITH DAYTON, PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON A MOBILE HEALTH UNIT AND WE'RE IN THEIR SCHOOLS TWO DAYS A WEEK.
AND I'M HAPPY TO SAY WE GOT THAT RESURRECTED AFTER TWO YEARS OF COVID.
UM, BUT WE GO TO THE SCHOOLS TWO DAYS A WEEK PRO UH, PROVIDING CARE TO KIDS WITH ASTHMA IS OUR FOCUS THERE.
AND, UH, WE HAVE PARTNERSHIP WITH MIAMI VALLEY CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS TO HEADSTART CENTERS.
SO WE'RE IN TWO OF THEIR CENTERS PROVIDING DENTAL SERVICES FOR THE, THE VERY YOUNG PATIENTS.
AND THERE'S THE MOBILE HEALTH UNIT AND OUR DENTAL TEAM THERE.
[00:05:02]
UH, SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE CHAMBERSBURG HEALTH CENTER.UM, YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW BETTER THAN I DO.
I ALWAYS FORGET THE NAME OF THE DOCTOR WHO WAS THERE FOR SEVERAL, SEVERAL YEARS AND IT WAS SHUT DOWN FOR TWO YEARS.
SO WE TOTALLY GUTTED AND RENOVATED THAT FACILITY THERE.
SO I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT WORKED OUT, NO 62 55 CHAMBERSBURG ROAD, RIGHT NEXT TO ST.
PETER'S CHURCH, IF YOU PICTURE OF 12 EXAM ROOMS AND, UH, TURNED OUT NICELY.
SO, UH, WE OPENED IN JANUARY WITH A PART-TIME NURSE PRACTITIONER, UH, NANCY HALL, UH, DR.
MONARCH WILL BE JOINING US NEXT MONTH.
MONARCH, I SEE PRACTICE 20 YEARS HERE IN, UH, HEBREW HEIGHTS AND CURRENTLY IS PRACTICING FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS IN VANDELIA.
SO HER SCHEDULE IS ALREADY FULL FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE, JULY.
SO SHE'LL BE BRINGING A LOT OF PATIENTS WITH HER.
GATO IS ACTUALLY JOINING US FROM OUT OF TOWN.
SHE'S A PEDIATRICIAN, SO WE WILL HAVE TO DO A LOT MORE MARKETING, UH, TO FILL HER, HER SCHEDULE, BUT THE NEEDS THERE.
SO, UH, OUR ORGANIZATION IS WHAT'S KNOWN AS A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER, FQHC, YOU KNOW, UH, REALLY CREATED THIS PRESENTATION A LONG TIME AGO TO EDUCATE FOLKS ON JUST WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN FQHC.
MOST FOLKS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THAT MEANS.
WHAT ASPHALT GO INTO A LITTLE BIT HERE.
THERE WAS ABOUT 1400 ORGANIZATIONS ELECT, UH, LIKE US AROUND THE COUNTRY, 55 HERE IN OHIO.
UM, WE ALL GET SOME FEDERAL FUNDING.
UH, IT'S ABOUT 15% OF OUR BUDGET.
IT HELPS, BUT A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OUR BUDGET.
THE BIG PRIZE FOR US IS THE ENHANCED REIMBURSEMENT.
I REFER TO IT AS APPROPRIATE REIMBURSEMENT.
SO THAT IS FOR PATIENTS THAT WE SEE WHO ARE ON MEDICAID AND MEDICARE, MAINLY THE MEDICAID PATIENTS.
SO WITH THAT GRANT AND THAT ENHANCED REIMBURSEMENT, WE HAVE REQUIREMENTS.
WE HAVE TO SEE PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY.
SO IF WE'RE A, IF PATIENTS ARE UNINSURED, THAT'S OKAY, WE GLADLY ACCEPT MEDICAID.
WE GLADLY ACCEPT ALL THE COMMERCIAL PLANS AS WELL.
ANTHEM, ADMIN, HUMANA, YOU NAME IT, WE TAKE IT, BUT WE CAN'T TURN ANYBODY AWAY BASED ON INABILITY TO PAY.
WE, WE MENTIONED WE PROVIDE PRIMARY CARE, DENTAL, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND ENABLING SERVICES.
WE OFFER A SLIDING FEE SCALE DISCOUNT BASED ON FAMILY SIZE AND INCOME AS WELL.
AND I, YOU KNOW, UM, SO AS, UH, WE ALSO ARE, UH, OUR ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT AND, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS CHUCKLE WHEN I HEAR SOME, UH, FOLKS IN THE NONPROFIT WORLD SAY, YEAH, WE HAVE A CONSUMER ON OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHILE I AM REQUIRED TO HAVE A PATIENT MAJORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
SO I HAVE 10 BOSSES AND SIX OF THEM ARE PATIENTS OF ONE OF OUR CENTERS.
SO IT KEEPS ME HONEST AND MAKES MY JOB VERY INTERESTING.
WE HAVE THE OPTION OF PROVIDING A PHARMACY WITHIN OUR FOUR WALLS OR PARTNERING WITH, UH, OTHER PHARMACIES CONTRACT PHARMACIES.
AND WE PARTNER WITH, WITH ALL OF THOSE PHARMACIES YOU SEE THERE.
SO OUR PATIENTS GET A DISCOUNT, UM, ABOUT A 20 TO 50% DISCOUNT OFF THE NAME BRAND DRUGS.
IF THEY GO TO ONE OF THOSE PARTICIPATING PHARMACIES, UH, LAST YEAR WE SAW OVER 21,000 PATIENTS, INDIVIDUALS, AND THEY MADE ABOUT 54,000 VISITS.
SO THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIP FROM, UH, 2020, UM, ACTUALLY FROM 2019, UH, JUST BECAUSE OF COVID STILL HAD AN EFFECT, BUT, UH, IT'S OUR PAYER MIX THERE.
THE BULK OF OUR PATIENTS ARE ON MEDICAID.
UM, 13% HAVE SOME KIND OF PRIVATE INSURANCE OR COMMERCIAL INSURANCE AND ONLY ABOUT 6% ARE UNINSURED.
THAT JUST SHOWS THE TRENDS OVER THE YEARS.
YOU SEE THE DIP THERE IN 2020, AND THEN IT SPIKED A LITTLE BIT LAST YEAR, MAINLY BECAUSE OF BACKSEAT, WHERE WE GAVE OUT A LOT OF COVID VACCINES LAST YEAR.
SO A LOT OF THOSE PATIENTS WERE ONE TIME AND OUT.
THEY PROBABLY WON'T SEE THEM AGAIN.
SO THAT'S CORRECT, VERY PROUD OF THE QUALITY WE PROVIDE.
SO IN 2020, WE WILL RECEIVE A BRONZE AWARD, WHICH SAYS WE WERE IN A 30% OF ALL HEALTH CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN TERMS OF OUR CLINICAL QUALITY OUTCOMES.
UH, IT GOT EVEN BETTER LAST YEAR, WE ARE IN
[00:10:01]
THE TOP 20%.SO WE GOT THE SILVER AWARD, UH, FOR OUR CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF ALL THE HEALTH CENTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
SO I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE PROVIDE A GOOD QUALITY CARE.
IN ADDITION, UH, WE WERE ASKED BY THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, IF WE WOULD APPLY FOR A GRANT, UH, AS THE BREAST HEALTH EQUITY GRANT, AND THEY AWARDED IT TO NINE GRANTEES AROUND THE COUNTRY, AND WE WERE HAPPY TO BE A ONE OF THOSE VERY PRESTIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS LISTED THERE, UM, THAT MOST FOLKS HAVE HEARD OF.
AND THEN THERE'S US WHO PROBABLY NOBODY'S HEARD OF OUTSIDE OF THE DAYTON AREA.
SO, UM, BUT IT WAS A, A TESTAMENT TO THE QUALITY WE PROVIDE.
AND THIS GRANT IS SPECIFICALLY GEARED TOWARDS, UH, LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD, UH, FOR, UH, BREAST HEALTH AND BREAST CANCER MORTALITY.
SO AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN DIED A 40% HIGHER RATE FROM BREAST CANCER THAN OTHER WOMEN, EVEN THOUGH YOU GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS AT A SIMILAR RATE.
SO, UH, WE RECEIVED THIS GRANT IN JANUARY OF 2020, UH, WITH THE GOAL OF, UH, FIGURING OUT HOW TO BRIDGE THAT GAP AND THEN COVID HIT, BUT, UH, WE'RE STILL WORKING VERY HARD TO, TO WORK, UH, EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD, SO TO SPEAK, UH, THERE'S THE GOALS.
AND I REALIZED THERE WAS A TYPO IN THERE THAT SHOULD HAVE SAID WE WENT INCREASED BREAST CANCER SCREENING RATES FOR ALL WOMEN BY 10% AND LEE INSTEAD OF FIVE AND MORE SPECIFICALLY INCREASING OUR SCREENING RATES FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN PATIENTS BY 10% AS WELL.
UH, WE WANTED TO BUILD A COALITION, A COMMUNITY PRESENCE, UH, FOR, UH, EFFECTIVE MARKETING AND EDUCATION AROUND OUR TARGET AUDIENCE, AND THEN, UH, CREATE AN ADVISORY TEAM THAT WORKS CLOSELY TOGETHER.
SO WE'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB.
WE'VE CREATED THAT ADVISORY TEAM, GOT THE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS. WE'VE GOT THE NORMAL JAGER OFF MEMORIAL FOUNDATION, AND WE'VE GOT SEVERAL OTHER PARTNERS, PINK RIBBON, UH, LADIES ON THERE.
UH, SO A GOOD TEAM OF FOLKS WORKING ON THIS.
UH, WE, UH, HAVE PLANNED A LOT OF IN-PERSON EVENTS THAT JUST COULD NOT HAPPEN.
SO WE REALLY SHIFTED TO A LOT OF MARKETING, A LOT OF DIGITAL MARKETING, UH, FACEBOOK BILLBOARDS, UH, SNAIL MAIL, YOU NAME IT.
SO MARKETING HAS REALLY HAD, HAD BEEN OUR FOCUS BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET TOGETHER IN PERSON LIKE WE WANTED TO, BUT WE ARE PLANNING AN EVENT THIS YEAR TO GET TOGETHER AND HAVE A CONFERENCE AROUND, UH, FIGHTING AGAINST BREAST CANCER.
SO THAT'S OUR INITIATIVE THERE.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL THAT, CAN I, CAN YOU CLICK ON IT, HAVE THAT PLATE.
UM, THERE'S A 62ND SPOT HERE OUT TO SHOW YOU BECAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, ROTH, UM, WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO APPEAR IN A COMMERCIAL ON OUR BEHALF AND THAT'LL BE HEARING ON, UH, ON TV VERY SOON.
CAN YOU MAKE IT A FULL SCREEN? NO.
WELL, YOU GET THE IDEA THERE, HUH? BUT COMING TO A CHANNEL NEAR YOU.
UM, BUT JENELLE ROSS, A LOT OF US KNOW THAT HER MOM DIED OF BREAST CANCER AND NOW SHE'S HEADING UP THE, OR SPONSORING THE NORMA J ROSS MEMORIAL FOUNDATION.
SO I WAS ONE OF OUR REALLY GOOD PARTNERS FOR THIS INITIATIVE.
UM, THE, UH, MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY UNITS PARK AT OUR CENTERS.
WE'VE GOT THEM SCHEDULED 15 TIMES THIS YEAR.
SO WE HAD A MET THE CHAMBERSBURG HEALTH CENTER.
THERE'LL BE A CHARLES DREW AND NEXT WEEK, AND LATER THIS MONTH AT ANOTHER ONE OF OUR CENTER.
SO IF, UH, WE KNOW OUR PATIENTS WHO ARE OVERDUE FOR THEIR MAMMOGRAMS, SO WE'RE FLOODING THEM WITH SNAIL MAIL AND TEXT MESSAGES TO TRY TO GET THEM OUT AND GET THE MESSAGE OUT, GET THE WORD OUT.
BUT, UH, IT'S, IT'S A STRUGGLE.
SO, UH, WE ALSO HAVE A CAMPAIGN FOR THE MEN.
SO THIS WAS LAST YEAR'S CAMPAIGN.
IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT FEATURED RADIO TV AND PRINT ADS.
UM, GUYS, WE KNOW THAT, UM, OUR DATA SHOWS US AND IT'S THE SAME FOR EVERY YEAR.
SO THIS IS ALL THOSE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE US AROUND THE STATE.
THIS IS STATEWIDE DATA FOR ABOUT 15 HEALTH CENTERS FROM 2019.
[00:15:01]
AND SO THIS WAS PRE COVID AND IT SHOWS THE AGE OF THE VISITS.SO IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS THERE, IT DOESN'T MATTER THE AGE UNTIL YOU GET TO ABOUT 16 OR 17.
THEY'RE PRETTY EVEN NUMBER OF VISITS, UH, FOR THE GUYS AND THE GIRLS OF LATE THE YOUNG LADIES AND YOUNG MEN, AND ABOUT AGE 19 WOMEN VISITS ARE TWICE THE MALE VISITS AND IT STAYS THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
SO MOST LADIES KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN I SAY THIS, THEY KNOW EXACTLY THEY GO, YEP.
OKAY GUYS, WE BECOME INVINCIBLE IN OUR TWENTIES, RIGHT? YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO A DOCTOR.
WE GIVE UP WHEN IT KIND OF SILLY STUFF WANTS ME TO STOP PLAYING SPORTS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE DON'T NEED PHYSICALS ANYMORE.
HE STOPPED GOING TO THE DOCTOR AT A RATE WHEN WE SHOULD BE, LADIES ARE CHILDBEARING AGE.
THEY KEEP GOING AND GUESS WHAT? THEY LIVE LONGER.
SO, UH, WE CREATED A CAMPAIGN AROUND THAT AS WELL.
UM, AND WE HAD, UH, CAN'T PLAY THIS I GUESS, AND WE CAN PLAY IT A BIT OF BOTH, NO SOUND, BUT THERE'S THREE COMMERCIALS.
EVERY HAD WITH IT WHEN MOSES, UH, KEITH BUYERS AND ROOSEVELT CHAPMAN.
SO THERE ARE WELL-KNOWN DAYTON ATHLETES AND WE FIGURED GUYS WILL LISTEN TO ATHLETES.
SO THEY BASICALLY ARE SAYING, UH, KEITH BUYER SAYS IT BEST.
I PLAYED PROFESSIONAL SPORTS FOR 13 YEARS.
AND DURING THOSE YEARS I KNEW MY NUMBERS.
I KNEW HOW MANY YARDS I SCORE OR OTHER YARDS ARE RAN.
I, YOU WANT ME TO TOUCHDOWNS? THE IMPORTANT NUMBERS NOW ARE BLOOD PRESSURE, BLOOD SUGAR, CHOLESTEROL, PSA LEVEL.
SO IT'S THE SAME MESSAGE FROM EACH OF THESE ATHLETES.
UH, THEY SHIFTED THEIR NUMBER FROM THEIR PLAYING FIELD TO WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT NOW.
SO YOU CAN GET IT ON OUR WEBSITE, THESE, THESE VIDEOS AS WELL.
UM, THAT IS US IN A NUTSHELL MORE INFORMATION THAT SAYS ON OUR FACEBOOK AND WEBSITE.
AND I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
NO, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING AND FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I KNOW THAT THE RESEARCH THAT YOU'VE DONE PROVES THAT THIS IS A RESOURCE THAT'S NEEDED IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I LOVE THAT WHEN I LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT I SEE THAT YOU ARE SEEING A LOT OF MEDICAID, MEDICARE RECIPIENTS, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A NEED FOR THOSE SERVICES.
I ALSO LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, UM, WITH BREAST CANCER, UH, RESEARCH AND PARTNERING WITH JANELL ROSS IN THE NORMAL ROSS FOUNDATION.
AND WE DO HAVE AN EVENT COMING UP IN OCTOBER, UM, TO CREATE SOME AWARENESS AROUND BREAST CANCER AWARENESS FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN PARTNER AGAIN FOR THAT EVENT FOR MAKE A DIFFERENT STAGE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU FOR COMING.
SO YOU HAVE, I DO HAVE, UM, I DO WANT TO GET SOME OF THE VIDEOS.
MAYBE WE CAN POST THOSE TO OUR FACEBOOK PAGE JUST FOR AWARENESS.
UM, THIS IS VERY AS MISS SOMEONE STATED, VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT, YOU SAID THAT THE DISPARITY FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN WITH BREAST HEALTH AND BREAST CANCER, THE 40% MORTALITY RATE MORTALITY RATE.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTIATOR? WELL, GREAT QUESTION.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
SO WHEN WE APPLIED FOR THE GRANT, WE LOOKED AT OUR DATA WE'RE ACTUALLY, ARE, ARE AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN GETTING THEIR MAMMOGRAMS? IS THAT THE HIGHER RATE THAN A CAUCASIAN WOMEN, BUT THE DATA NATIONAL DATA SHOWS THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN DIE AT A HIGHER RATE.
NOW WE DON'T HAVE MORTALITY RATES FOR OUR CENTER IN OUR PATIENTS DON'T CALL AND SAY HE GOT DIED.
WE DON'T KNOW THAT, BUT NATIONAL DATA TELLS US, UH, THAT MORTALITY RATES HIGHER.
UM, I THINK IT IS GETTING A MAMMOGRAM AT A LATER STAGE IS A FACTOR.
AND THEN NOT FOLLOWING UP, IF YOU HAVE AN ABNORMAL MAMMOGRAM FEAR, PART OF THAT IS FEAR OF THE DISTRUST IN THE MEDICAL SYSTEM, WHICH GOES BACK MANY, MANY YEARS, RIGHT.
HISTORICALLY WITH TUSKEGEE AND ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, VACCINE HESITANCY WITH COVID SHOWED THAT AGAIN, WHERE PEOPLE OF COLOR WERE MORE HESITANT TO GET A VACCINE.
YOU KNOW, WE TAKE TRANSPORTATION OUT OF THE EQUATION CAUSE WE BRING THEM THE MAMMOGRAPHY TO OUR CENTERS TO THE SAME PLACE.
YOU'RE GETTING THE REST OF YOUR CARE.
UM, AND WE'RE STRUGGLING TO FEEL THOSE SLOTS ON TOMORROW, MY FEET UNITS EACH MONTH, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SENDING OUT MESSAGES AND YOU KNOW, SO, UH, I WISH I KNEW THE EXACT ANSWER, BUT, UH, DEFINITELY IT'S GETTING A MAMMOGRAM
[00:20:01]
AT A LATER STAGE.AND THEN THE FOLLOWING UP WITH THE ABNORMALS, WE KNOW THAT.
AND SO THE MOBILE MACRO MCAFEE UNITS, ARE THOSE JUST AT THE HEALTH CENTERS OR DO YOU THINK, SO THOSE ARE PREMIERS, UH, PREMIER HEALTH SYSTEM IS THEIR UNIT.
SO WE'VE JUMPED SIMPLY, UH, SCHEDULED THEM AND THEY LIKE COMING TO OUR CENTERS.
THEY KNOW WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF BODIES ON THERE.
AND I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
I KNOW YOU HAVE, UM, SO THE, YOU HAVE A MOBILE HEALTH UNIT WITH DAYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
IS IT ON THE RADAR AT ALL TO PARTNER WITH HUBRIS SCHOOLS NOW THAT WE HAVE THE HEALTH CENTER AND THE COMMUNITY? GREAT QUESTION.
SO THE UNIT IS OWNED BY DAYTON PUBLIC SCHOOL.
THEY OWNED THE FISCAL, THE BUS, THE TRUCK.
SO ARE THEY WILLING TO GO TO OTHER, UM, DISTRICTS? UH, WE CAN ASK THAT QUESTION.
UH, WE STARTED THIS IN 2017 AND WE'RE GOING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND COVID ACTUALLY THREE YEARS AND THEN WE SHUT IT DOWN FOR COVID AND WE WERE JUST AT THAT POINT, CAUSE I HAD THAT SAME QUESTION COME UP IN WEST CARROLLTON, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
SO, UH, I THINK THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE JUST IN YOUR COMPENSATION, STAIR BUS DRIVER AS WELL.
UM, SO WE GOTTA KIND OF THINK ABOUT THOSE THINGS, BUT IF THERE'S WILLINGNESS, UM, ABSOLUTELY.
OR MAYBE EVEN IF WE HAD OUR OWN HIGH HUBER.
WELL, I'M VERY IMPRESSED AND I'M GLAD THAT, UM, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT, THERE ARE A LOT OF HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR PEOPLE AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.
AND I THINK THAT WE TEND TO TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED.
UM, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE, A LOT OF US HAVE IT, THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND THEN THEY CAN'T GO TO THE DOCTOR.
AND SO THEY HAVE HEALTH ISSUES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO GO.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU OFFER SERVICES DESPITE INCOME AND YOU OFFER SERVICES ON A SLIDING FEE IS VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE.
SO YOU START TO LEVEL THE FIELD WHEN IT COMES TO ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO PARTNERING WITH YOU ON OUR FUTURE EVENTS AND WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
WE WILL MOVE ON TO COMMITTEE REPORTS, UM, AND NOTE THAT SOME ITEMS WE HAVE PULLED OUT UNDER OLD BUSINESS.
SO DO WE HAVE ANY, WE WILL JUST ENTERTAIN THE COMMITTEE REPORTS THAT ARE NOT UNDER OLD BUSINESS, BUT I'LL STILL GO AROUND JUST IN CASE, WHERE ARE THEY ON THE AGENDA FOR SPECIAL SPECIALTY.
NOW YOU WANT TO ANNOUNCE IN CASE THEY NEED TO LEAVE, PLEASE.
UM, I THINK WE HAVE THREE OF THE 10 THAT ARE HERE.
SO CAN YOU SIGN UP? SO I'M GOING TO HAVE OUR TOP 10, OUR THREE TOP 10 MEMBERS FROM WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL THAT ARE HERE.
WE ARE RECOGNIZING THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THE TOP 10, 15%, 10, 400 AND 474 GRADUATES.
SO I HAVE ASKED THEM TO COME BECAUSE I HAD A 474 GRADUATES THAT WAYNE HAD.
AND THE DIVERSITY IN THAT TOP 10 WAS AMAZING.
UH, MIGUEL, UH, I CAN I'LL BET DANO WAS THE CLASS VALEDICTORIAN.
MIGUEL, CAN YOU JUST SHARE A BRIEF LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF? WE'LL TAKE THE MIC SO WE CAN HEAR YOU TAKE THE MIC.

WHAT SPORT IS SWIMMING, SWIMMING.
AND THEN, UM, IS THAT IT, JUST TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR CULTURAL BACKGROUND, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IMPRESSED ME IS THAT THERE WAS OUT OF ALL OF THE TOP 10, IT WAS SUCH A DIVERSE GROUP.
THERE WERE HOW MANY WOMEN, HOW MANY OF YOU THERE WAS? WELL, THERE WAS GENESIS WAS THIRD.
I WAS THEN JENNA MI ZUORA, UM, SYDNEY.

I WAS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.
BUT LIKE, IT WAS LIKE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, MR. WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEXT? I'M GOING TO UC ON A FLUORIDE.
AND WHAT ARE YOU MAJORING IN? ZUORA, MEDICAL SCIENCES.
I THINK THE THING THAT IMPRESSED ME ABOUT ALL OF THESE KIDS IS THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH ALL FRIENDS.
THEY'RE ALL A PART OF A FRIEND GROUP.
THEY'VE ALL BEEN TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME AND THEY ALL WERE HONORS RECIPIENTS.
AND I MEAN, THE WOMEN DID THEIR THING.
BUT THE DIVERSITY, EVEN SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE DO HAVE A CERTIFICATE FOR YOU GUYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU.

HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY RILEY.
SO, UM, AS I STAYED AT, WE'LL JUST DO THE COMMITTEE REPORTS RIGHT NOW, THE THINGS THAT DON'T FALL UNDER OLD BUSINESS.
ALL RIGHT, GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD EVENING.
MY NAME IS ERIC STEVENS, UH, WITH THE REFORM COMMITTEE.
UH, SO THE REFORM COMMITTEE HELD ITS UH, LAST MEETING ON, ON 23 MAY.
AND UM, FIRST, UH, TOPIC OF DISCUSSION WAS THE, UH, BASICALLY CLOSE OUT, UM, DISCUSSION ON THE TOPIC OF MENTAL HEALTH, UH, TO DETERMINE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED, UH, AS A FOLLOW ON TO THE, THE MEETING THAT WE HAD WITH THE POLICE CHIEF AND THE, UH, PRESIDENT FROM NAMI.
AND SO, UM, SO WHAT WE CONCLUDED WAS THAT WE WERE PLEASED WITH WHAT, UH, WITH WHAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING, UM, TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH, UH, WITH, UH, WITH ONE BEING THE, THE CRISIS NOW, UM, PROGRAM BEING STOOD UP AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT, UM, UM, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PLANNING TO TRAIN ALL THE OFFERS OFFICERS WITH, UH, WITH THAT.
WHAT IS IT, UM, CHRIST WHERE THE CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINING, I BELIEVE IS THE CIT YET.
I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE NAME, THE ACRONYM, I MEAN THE ACTUALLY SPELLING OF THE ACRONYM, BUT THEY, UH, THEY ALL WILL BE GIVEN THE TRAINING OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
SO SUPERIORS THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE DOING, THEY'RE DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS, IF YOU WILL, TO, TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THOSE THAT, UH, THAT MAY HAVE MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.
SO WE WERE, WE WERE PLEASED WITH THAT.
AND THEN, UH, THE SECOND TOPIC WAS, UM, WE HAD, WE HAD A, KIND OF AN INITIAL PLANNING MEETING TO TALK ABOUT THE, UM, THE FORM, THE PUBLIC FORM THAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THE, WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, WITH THE, UM, OR AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
SO, UM, SO AGAIN, WE WANT TO STILL HAVE SOME FOLLOWUP CONVERSATIONS WITH THE KNOW EDUCATION AND THE OUTREACH COMMITTEE TO KIND OF FIRM THAT UP.
BUT AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, WE WANT TO HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, THESE TWO EVENTS SOMETIME IN THE FALL, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER TIMEFRAME.
BUT, UH, BUT WHAT WE DID WAS JUST REALLY MORE, MORE SO HAD A BRAINSTORMING, UH, DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT TOPICS WE WOULD LIKE TO COVER AT THAT, UH, AT THAT FORUM.
AND SO, UM, AND I JUST KIND OF MENTIONED SOME OF THE TOPICS WE TALKED ABOUT, BUT WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL TRY AND CAUSE WE HAD LIKE FOUR OR FIVE THAT WE THREW OUT THERE, BUT I'M SURE WE WON'T BE ABLE TO COVER ALL OF THOSE.
WE MAY NARROW THAT DOWN TO MAYBE JUST A COUPLE, TWO OR THREE.
[00:35:01]
ONE TOPIC, UM, AGAIN, THIS IS ALL ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIP, YOU KNOW, UM, BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE YOUTH AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL.IT'S JUST AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY.
SO, SO THAT'S ONE OF THE TOPICS IS LIKE KNOWING YOUR RIGHTS, YOU KNOW, AS A, AS A, AS A CITIZEN, UH, THAT, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT.
UH, YOU KNOW, THE, UM, AND AGAIN, WE MAY EVEN HAVE AN ATTORNEY IF WE CAN, THE PRESENT OR BEAR TO EVEN SPEAK ON THAT, UH, ALONG WITH THE POLICE, UM, UH, FOLKS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, AND ALSO, UH, WE WANT TO, UM, ENCOURAGE, YOU KNOW, THE YOUTH TO, UM, POTENTIALLY LOOK AT BECOMING POLICE OFFICERS.
SO WE WANT THERE TO BE A DISCUSSION WHERE THE OFFICERS KIND OF DO THIS CAREER DAY TYPE OF THING, OR AT LEAST DISCUSSION OF, HEY, WHAT IS IT, WHAT IT REQUIRES TO BECOME AN OFFICER? YOU KNOW, WHAT WHAT'S COOL ABOUT BECOMING A POLICE OFFICER, BUT TRY AND GET OTHER, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, UM, MINORITIES, UH, INTERESTED IN BECOMING, UM, A PART OF THE POLICE FORCE.
SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE KEY AREAS THAT WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT OR HAVE, UH, DISCUSSED AT THAT FORUM.
AND THEN, UH, THERE WERE SOME, A COUPLE OF OTHER AREAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, CRIMES THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH, WITH THE YOUTH TODAY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING MOST, MOST FREQUENT, I GUESS, IF YOU WILL.
UM, SO JUST MORE OF AN AWARENESS TYPE OF THING.
AND THEN, UH, AND THEN ALSO JUST MAKING SURE THAT YOUTH UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, UH, WHAT SOME OF THE INMATE, MAYBE MORE OF A SCARED, STRAIGHT TYPE OF THING, BUT WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH CERTAIN TYPES OF, IF YOU WILL CRIMES THAT YOU MAY COMMIT, BUT JUST SO THAT FOLKS HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT, WHAT THOSE, UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT THOSE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES ARE.
UH, AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, WITH COURSE WE'VE SEEN HERE RECENTLY, RIGHT? WITH THE, UM, UH, THE POLICE SHOOTING AND NOT THE POLICE.
WELL, THE I'M SORRY, THE SCHOOL SHOOTING AND, UM, IN TEXAS AND, YOU KNOW, OX WAS SEEING A LOT OF THESE MASS SHOOTINGS, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SORT OF EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF, HEY, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, AND IF YOU KNOW, SOMEONE THAT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE A FEW DAYS PRIOR, YOU, YOU SAW THAT MAY HAVE SAID SOMETHING OR THEY WERE ACTING STRANGE OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, THEY MAY BE RIGHT.
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU AN INDICATION THAT THIS PERSON MIGHT, MIGHT WANT TO, UM, TO COMMIT SUCH AN ACT.
BUT JUST ENCOURAGING FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, COMMUNICATE IN AND SAY, AND, UH, BE WILLING TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN AVOID, YOU KNOW, UM, AN INCIDENT LIKE THAT HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
BUT SO THOSE WERE, YOU KNOW, UH, AGAIN, SOME OF THE INITIAL TOPICS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL WORK TO KIND OF, UH, FIRM THAT UP, UH, HERE IN THE NEXT, UH, YOU KNOW, MONTH OR TWO AND WHAT, THAT, THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT, UNLESS ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS.
WE WILL MOVE ON TO, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS THAT DON'T FALL UNDER THE OLD BUSINESS ADVOCACY? OKAY.
YOU SAID THAT DO, OR THAT DON'T, THEY'VE DONE ADVOCACY, UM, DID NOT HAVE A MEETING THIS MONTH, SO THERE'S NO REPORT ON THAT.
WE WILL MOVE ON TO OLD BUSINESS.
OUR FIRST ITEM IS CULTURE WEEK.

UH, WE WILL HAVE A FEW FOOD TRUCKS THERE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BAND CALLED FLY CITY FUNK BAND.
THEY DO SOME JAZZ, THEY DO SOME MEALS, SO, AND SOME RMB.
UM, WE WILL HAVE SOUNDS IN LIGHT.
SO SINCE IT'LL BE FROM FIVE TO 10, WE WILL HAVE THE STAGE LIT UP.
SO THERE'LL BE A NICE TIME FOR YOU TO COME OUT IT'S FATHER'S DAY.
SO WE WANT PEOPLE TO BRING THEIR FATHERS OUT.
SO PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, UH, ANY FATHERS THAT, YOU KNOW, UM, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE THEIR, THEIR FATHERS, UH, A GIFT OF MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR FATHER'S DAY.
UM, AS FAR AS JUNETEENTH GOES, WE DO HAVE OUR, UM, SOUNDS AND LIGHTS PERSON UNDER CONTRACT.
SO HE HAS DONE HIS CONTRACT AND WE JUST GOT THE DJ'S KINDA TRACK DONE.
UM, WE DO HAVE A DJ WHO IS PROVIDING HIS SERVICES, UH, FOR OUR FESTIVAL IN KIND, JUST BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO DJ OSCAR, EVERYBODY KNOWS DJ OSCAR, RIGHT? WHEN I SAY HIS NAME.
SO HE'S GOING TO BE THE DJ FOR US ON JUNE 10TH.
I MEAN, HE'S HE DJS EVERYWHERE.
SO HE'LL BE OUR DJ FOR JUNETEENTH.
HE'LL KIND OF FILL IN WHEN THE BAND IS NOT PLAYING.
UM, LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE? UM, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, WE DO HAVE A FLYER THAT HAS BEEN SENT TO THE CITY.
UM, SO YOU ALL CAN, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IT'S APPROVED.
I'VE, WE'VE TOSSED THE FLYER AROUND A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT YOU ALL CAN START PUTTING THAT OUT THERE TO YOUR NETWORKS, UM, TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS EVENT.
SO, UH, LET'S START ADVERTISING.
UM, LET'S GET IT ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, INSTAGRAM PAGE, AND LET'S INVITE PEOPLE TO COME OUT.
HOW MANY FOOD TRUCKS DO WE HAVE FOR THAT EVENT? I BELIEVE IT'S THREE, THREE.
UM, I KNOW WE HAVE DIAMOND DAIQUIRI, WHICH THEY JUST DO, OBVIOUSLY DAIQUIRIS NON-ALCOHOLIC DAIQUIRIS.
UM, WE HAVE, UH, I BELIEVE IT'S, COURTLANDS PORTLAND SYSCO, AND THEN WE HAVE FISHING QUEUE.
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S THE THREE THAT WE HAVE FOR GENTILESCHI.
IT IS ALWAYS IN A COURTHOUSE SQUARE.
SO THEY'RE FAMILIAR WHEN WE USED TO WORK DOWNTOWN.
SO WE'LL HAVE A NICE MIX, YOU KNOW, AND WE'LL HAVE FOOD AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, UH, GOOD MUSIC.
I KNOW KATIE IS OUT UNTIL THE SIXTH, RIGHT? I THINK, I THINK SO.
SO, UM, LET'S JUST TRY TO GET IT ON OUR NETWORKS FOR NOW UNTIL KATIE WILL GET BACK.
UM, AND THEN WE CAN GET SOME FLYERS.
JOEY CAN, IS THERE AN AVENUE TO GET THOSE DONE BEFORE KATIE GETS BACK? THAT'S WELL, JAMIE'S GONE TOO.
AND JAMIE'S NORMALLY MY GO-TO SHE'S OUT TO RIGHT.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT I SELL AND SHE'S NORMALLY MY GO-TO WHEN KATIE'S NOT HERE.
CAUSE WE, WE REALLY NEED THEM BEFORE THEN.
UM, SO WHERE ARE WE? SO THE CITY HAS NOT YET SIGNED THE CONTRACTS THOUGH.
IS THAT CORRECT? WE HAVE, UM, I FORWARDED HIS L'S TO KATIE TODAY, BUT SHE'S OUT, I GOT AWAY.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT OR IF I CAN FORWARD THEM TO BRIAN AND HE CAN GET THEM TO THE ATTORNEY.
I WOULDN'T DO THAT, BUT I WOULD GO AHEAD AND FORWARD IT TO BRIAN AND COPY TONY.
THAT WAY WE CAN GET THE BALL ROLLING ON THIS.
SO THEY JUST NEED SIGN OFF ON, GET THAT FINALIZED.
UM, THE OTHER THING WE CAN SET UP A BOOTH AT THE FARMER'S MARKET TO PUBLICIZE.
SO WE JUST NEED FOLKS TO DO THAT.
WE NEED US TO BE PRESENT AND DECIDE WHICH DATES WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE.
UH, WE CAN DETERMINE THAT EVERYBODY LOOK AT YOUR SCHEDULES AND WE'LL JUST SIGN UP FOR
[00:45:01]
DATES TO BE PRESENT.AND IT WOULD JUST BE A MATTER OF THEY'LL SET UP A TICKET FOR US, UH, BOTH FOR US.

I'LL MAKE A TAB THAT TO, FOR SOME REASON.
SO WE HAVE THREE SATURDAY'S FARMER'S MARKET.
SO WE'LL HAVE FLYERS AT THAT BOOTH.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO GET THE FIRE.
THAT'S THE FOURTH, 11TH AND 18TH.
WE CAN DO 10 TO 12 AND 12 TO TWO.
IF WE WANTED TO DO TWO HOUR SHIFTS, YOU NEED TO BE THERE BY NINE.
CAUSE EVERYBODY HAS TO BE IN PLACE BY NINE 30.
I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST LIKE SITTING IN THE CHAIRS, RIGHT? WHAT DID WE SET? YEAH.
AND WE SHOULD HAVE FLYERS AND ALL THAT STUFF TO SHARE AND JUST INTRODUCE THE COMMISSION AS WELL.
SO WE WILL, UM, DECIDE WHO'S GOING TO, IS ANYONE FREE FOR THIS SATURDAY? I AM.
YOU DON'T WANT TO SPEND YOUR BIRTHDAY AT THE FARMER'S MARKET? I COULD DO, UM, THE SATURDAY AND I COULD DO THE 11TH, BUT MY SON'S BIRTHDAY PARTIES ON THE 18TH.
SO YOU CAN DO THIS SATURDAY AND THE NEXT SATURDAY.

UM, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EXPRESS FITNESS.
HE'S GOING TO COUNT FROM 10 TO 11 TO DO A FITNESS DEMONSTRATION.
[00:50:01]
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TELL PEOPLE.SO, BECAUSE HE SAID HE'S GOING TO BE WORKING OUT A CLIENT AND PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT HE DOES.
HIS NAME IS VIRGIL CARTER CARTER, AND HE'S A CLASSMATE OF MINE.
AND I KNOW GINA'S IS ONE OF HIS TWO YEARS.
MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT HE IS VERY GOOD, UM, DOWN TO EARTH PROFESSIONAL GUY.
SO I WAS VERY EXCITED TO GET VIRGIL ON BOARD.
SO, UM, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS AND PEOPLE ARE STILL CALLING, STILL WANTING TO GET INVOLVED.
SO THINGS MAY CHANGE, BUT, UM, JUST COME OUT, PLEASE TELL EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, TAKE A FLYER, TAKE A PICTURE.
ARE YOU GUYS ON SOCIAL MEDIA? CAN YOU PUT THIS ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA? OKAY.
SO IT'S JUST GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
UM, YOU KNOW, AS WE LOOK AT DISPARITIES AND HEALTH AND EQUITY, WE WANT TO DRIVE PEOPLE TO THIS HEALTH DESIRE.
MAYBE THEY HAVEN'T HAD THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE CHECK RECENTLY.
MAYBE THEY HAVEN'T, YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALSO GET PEOPLE VACCINES FOR COVID COVID VACCINES.
UM, BUT THEY HAVE TO REGISTER FOR THAT.
SO IF YOU KNOW, ANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER TO GET A VACCINE, THAT SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN ALSO DO, BUT THEY DO HAVE TO REGISTER FOR THAT IN ADVANCE.
UM, SO YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S BASICALLY IT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING ALL DAY LONG.
WHAT TIME IS EXPRESS FITNESS? 10 TO 11.
SO HE'S GOING TO DO AN HOUR DEMONSTRATION AT THE TIME.
RIGHT? IN MY NOTE, THAT WAS DELETED.
I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO COME FOR MAYBE AN HOUR IN THE EVENING, BUT THE PERSON THAT I WANTED, THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO COME.
SO IF YOU ALL KNOW OF ANYONE THAT MAY BE ABLE TO COME OUT FOR AN HOUR, UM, TO GIVE A DEMONSTRATION, JUST LET ME KNOW ANY QUESTIONS.
WE'LL MOVE TO THE FINANCIAL LITERACY SEMINAR.
OH, I DO WANT HIM TO SAY ONE THING.
CAN YOU ALL, LET ME KNOW MAYBE WHERE YOU CAN FIT IN ON THAT DAY AS FAR AS COMING TO HELP OUT.
UM, I DID TAKE NOTE OF JEAN AND SARAH, SINCE IT'S A FEDERAL HOLIDAY THAT DAY, THAT IS THE DAY THAT JUNE TEAM WILL BE CELEBRATED AS A FEDERAL HOLIDAYS.
JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT YOU MAY NOT BE WORKING AND NOT KNOW IT YET.
AND LET ME DOUBLE CHECK MY SCHEDULE FOR THE AFTERNOON.
UM, THE TIMES THAT I GAVE YOU HAS OF NOW SHOULD NOT BE A CONFLICT, BUT YEAH.
I HAD TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT MY NOTES.
I'LL ADD A, THAT WAS OUR MEETING ON.
YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK WE AGREED CARLA TO COME IN AT THE SAME TIME.
I CAN ADD 'EM TO THE SAME SHEET.
I'LL JUST PUT A SPACE FOR THAT.
CARLA, I GOT YOU DOWN FOUR TO NINE BY NINE TO THREE, NINE TO THREE YOLANDA.
I JUST HAVE YOU DOWN FOR EVENING.
SO, AND ERIC, YOU SAID WHAT TIME ERIC STEVENS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEPARATE YOU OUT TO CAUSE NO FRANCE OR NOT.
YOU THINK THERE'S A REASON TO BE THERE TILL NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT WHEN IT'S OVER AT SEVEN.
SO, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO BE THERE UNTIL NINE.
I'LL BE ON THE NINE TO THREE SHIFT.
I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO BE OUT OF THERE BEFORE.
I'M NOT SURE YET WE NEED SOMEONE TO TALK BECAUSE THE PERSON THAT'S THE SAME PERSON THAT I WANTED TO DO SOME FITNESS.
SO IF YOU KNOW SOMEBODY, I KNOW WE HAVE, UM, WHAT'S DANNY'S BUSINESS, NEW, NEW HEIGHTS, NEW HEIGHTS.
[00:55:01]
SHE MAY BE SOMEONE, BUT IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.HE DOES SOME SEMINARS ON HOW YOU WANT TO EAT.
YOU WANT TO DO A LITTLE BIT, YOU WONDER MAYBE A 30 MINUTE SESSION ATTRITION OR HELL EATING PROPERLY.
SO BUT YEAH, I MEAN, THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD BE GOOD BECAUSE IT'S MEN'S HEALTH AND I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE BIG ON HOW YOU EAT.
WE KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE SALAD SO CAN I PUSH YOU DOWN? JUST TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF, YEAH, THAT'S FINE.
SO YOU WANT TO DO MORNING AND EVENING OR EVENING? WHAT TIME DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT YOU? WHAT? JUST LET ME KNOW, SEND ME OKAY.
I MAY BE ABLE, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S A WORK DAY FOR ME YET, IF I HAVE THAT DAY OFF, BUT MONDAY THAT IS HOLIDAY.
SO YOU'RE OFF YOU CAN GET WITH ONE DIRECTLY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT PUT IT IN PLACE.
I THAT'S SOMEBODY THAT DOES, UM, SHE USED TO BE A PERSONAL TRAINER, BUT NOW SHE DOES NOTHING, BUT EAT THOSE.
SHE DOES PAY, SHE SELLS THE MEALS AND EVERYTHING.
SO I MIGHT, SHE'S GOT DEGREES IN IT AND EVERYTHING.
UM, SO YEAH, THAT'S BASICALLY IT WITH, OKAY.
WHAT'S THE COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTER COMING OR IS THAT STILL A THING? THEY WERE, WE WERE GOING TO POSSIBLY DO BLOOD DONATIONS.
I THINK FRED WAS GOING TO REACH OUT TO HER AND I'M NOT SURE I HAVEN'T FOLLOWED UP TO FIND OUT IF HE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME TIME CONSTRAINTS MULTICULTURAL FOR EITHER, BECAUSE INITIALLY THEY WERE GOING TO DO THE MULTICULTURAL FESTER.
I THINK THAT THEY'VE HAD SOME TIME CONSTRAINTS, SAME THING WITH THE MAMMOGRAM VEHICLE.
I NEED TO CHECK WITH GREG AND SEE, CAUSE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME IF THEY COULD SET THAT UP AT THE EVENT AND BRING THEM BACK OR NEGATIVE.
I HAVE A LOT OF TABS ON THE SHEET NOW, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S LIKE A TAB.
THANK YOU, MS. SUMLIN FINANCIAL LITERACY SEMINAR.
WELL, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE LIKE TO SAY WELCOME TO OUR GUESTS HERE THIS EVENING.
I AM MS. JANE NEWBIE AND I'M THE CHAIR OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE OR THE COMMISSION.
WE HAD OUR MEETING ON MAY 17TH, 2022, WHERE DR.
FRED AKINS AND MYSELF WELCOMED OUR NEW COMMISSION MEMBER, MRS. CARLA STEGALL.
AND WE DID DISCUSS THE FINANCIAL LITERACY FORUM STATUS.
I GRABBED ME NOW MRS. CARLOS TAGGLE CYCLE CYCLE.
SO WE DISCUSSED THE FINANCIAL LITERACY FORUM, WHICH WILL BE HELD ON TUESDAY, JUNE 21ST AT THE HUBER HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY ROOM, WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS CITY HALL.
AND THAT WILL BE HELD FROM 6:30 PM UNTIL EIGHT 30.
AND WE WILL, WE WILL HAVE MR. RON JACKSON, WHO IS A NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE REPRESENTATIVE, THAT'S GOING TO BE DOING A PRESENTATION.
SO WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING SET UP FOR THAT EVENING.
UM, AS FAR AS THE AUDIO VISUALS, WE DO HAVE SERGEANT JOSH FORESIGHT, THAT'S GOING TO ASSIST US BEFOREHAND TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.
SO DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE NEXT FORM WITH THE WHITE BEAR AS WELL? OH, I FORGOT HIM AS WELL.
AND I BELIEVE HIS BACKGROUND IS THE SAME AS
[01:00:01]
WELL.YEAH, I DIDN'T HAVE THAT IN MY NOTES FOR THE EVENING, BUT THE TWO GENTLEMEN, AS I MENTIONED, THEY'RE GOING TO DO A FORUM ON FINANCIAL LITERACY THAT EVENING, AND THAT IS ADVERTISED ON THE WEEK OF EVENTS FOR THE WEEK.
AND THE NEXT FORM THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DURING CULTURE WEEK, WHICH WILL BE ON THURSDAY, JUNE 23RD IS RACISM AS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS TOO.
WE INITIALLY HAD A CONVERSATION ON THIS TOPIC BACK IN THE FALL, BUT THIS FORUM IS GOING TO FOCUS ON THE SOCIAL ECONOMIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RACISM.
AND WE HAVE THREE PANEL MEMBERS THAT WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE.
WE HAVE MS. TAYLOR CURTIS, WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE RACIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY, UM, DEPARTMENT FOR THE WIDE WCA OF CINCINNATI.
AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MR. RON JACKSON, WHO'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS.
AND AGAIN, HE IS A REPRESENTATIVE FOR NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE.
SONIA HUNT, WHO IS A, UM, TEACHER AND PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY AT CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY.
ARE YOU CENTRILIGAN? I, I DIDN'T REALIZE NO PROBLEM.
WELL, AS MENTIONED, SHE WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE AS WELL, AND HER FOCUS WILL BE ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RACISM.
SO OVERALL, THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM IS TO DISCUSS THE PROCLAMATION THAT CITY COUNCIL HAD VOTED ON BACK ON LAST APRIL, ACTUALLY APRIL 1ST, 2021.
AND THERE WERE SEVEN SECTIONS IN THAT PROCLAMATION THAT FOCUS ON VARIOUS THINGS, PRETENDING TO DNI INITIATIVES, SUCH AS EQUITY AND FAIR HIRING PRACTICES AMONG MINORITY CANDIDATES FOR VARIOUS CITY STAFF POSITIONS AND POLICIES THAT NEED TO BE ENFORCED.
WE ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGING THESE THREE PANEL MEMBERS, THE COMMISSION ANSI COUNCIL TO HAVE A PRODUCTIVE AND ENGAGING CONVERSATION ON COURSES OF ACTION THAT NEED TO BE PUT IN PLACE.
AND A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR WHAT WE SAW FROM THE CURRENT HIRING OF OUR NEW CITY MANAGER.
SO THAT IS DEFINITELY A NEED TO ENFORCE THIS TYPE OF DISCUSSION.
NOW I DO HAVE AN ASK AMONGST MY FELLOW COMMISSION MEMBERS WHEN WE HAVE OUR JUNE 9TH WORK SESSION MEETING.
I'D LIKE FOR EACH OF YOU TO REVIEW THE PROCLAMATION AGAIN AND COLLECTIVELY, I WANT US TO HAVE FIVE QUESTIONS TO GIVE TO OUR PANEL MEMBERS AS A COUNCIL TO REVIEW FOR THE DISCUSSION.
AND THERE SHOULD BE NO EXCUSE AS FAR AS NOT HAVING SUFFICIENT TIME AND SPEND OVER A YEAR REALLY TO TALK ABOUT THIS NOW, AS FAR AS, UM, THE HONORARIUMS AND W NINES FOR OUR PANEL MEMBERS FOR THAT FORUM, AND ALSO FOR THE VEGGIE LITERACY FORUM, THOSE FORMS WERE SUBMITTED TO MRS.
AKINS DID SUBMIT THAT TO HER, BUT, UM, I'M GOING TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT.
AND MA'AM, WHAT IS YOUR NAME AGAIN? SARAH? OH, MS. WILLIAMS. OKAY, PLEASURE.
SO, CAN I TOUCH BASES WITH YOU IN KATIE'S ABSENCE FOR THAT? OKAY.
I WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL TOMORROW JUST TO FOLLOW UP AND MISS SOMEONE IS MA'AM.
WERE YOU ABLE TO CREATE THOSE INDIVIDUAL FLYERS ADVERTISE, BOTH EVENTS THEY'RE DONE.
HAVE THEY BEEN SENT TO CITY? YEP.
WE'RE SENT TO CITY STAFF AND, UM,
[01:05:02]
I DON'T, THE THING IS KATIE IS NOT HERE, SO I REALLY DON'T KNOW.UM, UNLESS I'M THINKING SCOTT, LET US KNOW, SARAH'S GOING TO LET US KNOW.
THANK YOU, MS. WILLIAMS FOR THAT CONFIRMATION.
SO YOU HAVE THEM IN YOUR EMAIL.
UM, AND FINALLY AGAIN, UM, AS MENTIONED, WE WILL HAVE OUR WORK SESSION VIA ZOOM.
I DID SEND THAT INVITE TO ALL OF THE COMMISSION MEMBERS.
I WANT TO SAY AT LEAST TWO WEEKS.
AND IT WILL BE AT 7:30 PM AND THIS MAY BE THE FIRST TO THE LAST WORK SESSION MEETING TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL LOGISTICS IN PLACE FOR EVERYTHING FOR A CULTURAL WEEK, BUT PRETENDING TO THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, THOSE ARE THE TWO MAIN EVENTS THAT WE WILL BE, UM, SPEARHEADING.
SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ON THE COMMISSION? MADAM CHAIR, MADAM COACHING? I DON'T THINK SO.
SO JUST TO REITERATE OUR JUNE, THAT JUNE 9TH MEETING WILL BE A TASK MEETING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MS. NEWBIE.
AND THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
OH, SO WE GOT A LOT FOR THEM ON SITE CULTURAL FEST.
NOT CHIEF, NICELY CHIEF LIGHTENER AND, UM, LET ME GET TO MY NOTES ONCE SECOND YES.
UM, SO I HAD A MEETING WITH, UM, JOSH KING, CHIEF, UM, LEITNER, AND THEN REGINA FROM FIRE.
WHAT IS REGINA HIS LAST NAME? SARAH, DO YOU KNOW REGINA HIS LAST NAME? IT'S NOT COMING TO ME RIGHT NOW.
SO, UH, THE MEETING WAS FOR, UH, KATIE WAS ALSO IN ATTENDANCE.
THE MEETING WAS PRODUCTIVE, SO I JUST KIND OF WANT TO HIT SOME KEY POINTS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MEETING WAS TO TIE UP SOME LOOSE ENDS.
UM, SO CHIEF LEITNER DID SAY THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE, UM, TWO UNIFORM OFFICERS PRESENT TO JUST KIND OF BE PRESENT AND TO HELP KIND OF CONTROL THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, HE ALSO DID SAY HE WAS GOING TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY EXPLORERS THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO KIND OF HELP DIRECT PARKING.
UM, AND HE WAS ALSO GOING TO GET WITH BRIAN CARR AND BRIAN CARR IS WITH, UM, THE POLICE DIVISION.
I BELIEVE IT'S EITHER PUB, I THINK HE'S THEIR PUBLIC RELATIONS PERSON, UM, TO SEE IF BRIAN WOULD SET UP AND BE THERE AT THE EVENT TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UM, MY JOCK, JOSH SAID HE WOULD HAVE MIKE TO DROP OFF COLUMNS SO WE CAN PLACE COMMS SO THAT WE CAN MARK OFF WHERE WE WANT PARK PEOPLE TO PARK AND LOCK THOSE AREAS WHERE WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO PARK.
UM, THE PARKING LOT CLOSEST TO THE AQUATIC CENTER IS WHERE WE WILL HAVE OUR HANDICAP PARKING.
AND THEN THE FOOD WILL BE, UM, IN THE LOT THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE AMPHITHEATER AND THAT PARKING LOT.
THAT'S WHERE THE FOOD TRUCKS WILL BE.
HE DID SAY THAT PEOPLE CAN PARK IN THE BACK WIDE LOT AND ALSO IN THE ST CLAIR LOT, BUT THERE WILL BE NO PARKING AVAILABLE BECAUSE AQUATIC CENTER WILL BE OPEN.
WE CANNOT HAVE PEOPLE PARKING, ANY AQUATIC CENTER, PARKING LOT.
UM, SO WE WILL HAVE TO YEAH, YEP.
ACT AT SIX O'CLOCK THE OTHER NIGHT, LET'S SEE, AS FAR AS SOUND AND LOGISTICS, JOSH AND L ARE GONNA WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SETUP AND ALL OF THAT IS TAKEN CARE OF.
THE L KNOWS WHERE PLUGINS AND ALL OF THAT ARE.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER ON THAT.
[01:10:02]
UM, TERRY WALTON FROM THE ATHLETIC FOUNDATION WAS NOT ABLE TO DO THE BEER GARDEN.HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH, UH, DAVE THOMAS, WHO DOES THE PERFORMING ARTS COUNCIL, WHO IS A NONPROFIT, AND HE IS INTERESTED IN DOING OUR BEER GARDEN.
NOW I KNOW THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO DAVE, WHICH WAS LAST WEEK, HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING HIS LICENSING AND ALL OF THAT.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM SINCE THEN? OKAY.
SO I NEED TO FOLLOW UP TO SEE WHERE HE IS IN THAT PROCESS.
UM, OBVIOUSLY IF HE DOES OUR VEER GARDEN, ALL OF THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO HIS NONPROFIT.
HE WILL HANDLE THE BEER BUYING OF THE BEER.
WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
WHAT WAS HIS NAME AGAIN? I'M SORRY.
HIS NAME IS DAVE THOMAS AND HE IS THE, I BELIEVE DAVE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE PERFORMING ARTS COUNCIL.
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A FUNDRAISER.
WE NEEDED SOMEBODY TO DO THE BEER GARDEN.
SO IT WORKS, WORKS OUT PERFECTLY.
NOW, WHERE IS THE IT'S ON LOGISTICS, BUT AS THE BEER GARDEN BY THE FOOD, THE BEER GARDEN WILL BE DOWN BY THE BATHROOM.
UM, THEY HAVE LIKE FENCING THAT THEY'LL PUT UP.
AND THAT SPOT, AS FAR AS AN EMERGENCY FIRST AID BOOTH, REGINA IS GOING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROTOCOLS FOR FIRST AID.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS I DID MENTION IS THAT WE CAN HAVE A FIRST AID KIT AT THE, UM, COMMISSION BOOTH, WHERE WE HAVE OUR GREETING OR WELCOME TENT.
WE CAN JUST KEEP IT FIRST AID KIT THERE, BUT SHE WAS GOING TO SEE WHAT THE PROTOCOLS WERE FOR FIRST DAY.
UM, IT IS LEGAL TO PARK ON THE STREET AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
SO IF FOR SOME REASON WE NEED OVERFLOW PARKING, PEOPLE CAN PARK ON THE STREET.
OF COURSE RESIDENTS MAY NOT LIKE IT, BUT SHE'S WHITE.
AND HER DID SAY, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T STOP PEOPLE FROM PARKING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE'S HOUSES, AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT PARKED, PARKED IN FRONT OF A DRIVEWAY, IT'S ILLEGAL TO PARK ON THE STREET.
SO CAN'T PARK IN FRONT OF FIRE HYDRANTS, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IF, IF OVERFLOW PARKING IS NEEDED, PEOPLE CAN PARK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
FOOD TRUCKS NEED TO BE THERE BY 10.
I'M GOING TO TELL PEOPLE NINE 30, BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE WOULD BE SAY, 10, THEY'LL GET THERE AT 10 30.
IF THEY ARE NOT THERE AT 10 O'CLOCK, THEY WILL BE MAD BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE INSPECTED.
AND THEN THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SET UP.
SO YES, IN ANYBODY WHO'S DONE EVENTS WITH US BEFORE THEY KNOW THAT, BUT THIS WILL BE OVER.
IF IT WAS COMMUNICATED TO THEM, INITIALLY IT WILL BE COMMUNICATED TO THEM AGAIN.
I'M GOING TO SAY BETWEEN NINE 30 AND 9 45.
UM, REGINA SAID SHE WAS SENDING A LIST ABOUT WHAT IS NEEDED TO PASS INSPECTION.
UM, ANYONE THAT HAS A PROPANE COOKING, UM, ANY TYPE OF PROPANE FOR COOKING MUST BE INSPECTED.
ALSO WE DO HAVE TO KEEP 10 FEET BETWEEN FOOD TRUCKS.
SO THEN SHE DID MENTION THAT WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
SO WE'LL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, 10 FEET IN BETWEEN EACH TRUCK.
SO WE'LL LET THE GUYS HANDLE THE MEASURING NOTES.
CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE'LL FORGET IT IF EACH ONE, BUT THEY, THEY, THEY INSPECT, BUT THEY DON'T CHECK FOR THAT.
THEY SAID THAT WILL BE, THAT WILL BE UP TO US.
WE'LL HAVE CONTROL OF MAKING SURE IT'S FEED IS BETWEEN EACH TRUCK.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD THEM.
I SAID, WE HAVE AN ENGINEER ON THE COMMISSION.
THOSE WITH THE TRAILER DO NOT NEED TO UNHOOK.
SO IF WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT IS HOOKED TO THEIR TRUCK, THEY DON'T NEED TO UNHOOK THEIR TRAILER.
JOSH DID SAY THAT HE HAD ASKED VENDORS FROM THE FARMER'S MARKET IF THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
AND I KNOW WE DO HAVE SOME OF THE VENDORS PARTICIPATING,
[01:15:01]
UM, IN A MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.IF THEY ARE A FULL SEASON VENDOR, WE ARE NOT CHARGING THOSE VENDORS TO PARTICIPATE IN A MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
AND IF THEY HAVE PAID AND THEN JOSH SAID WE CAN REFUND THEM THE FEE.
SO ANYBODY WHO HAS SIGNED UP TO BE A FULL SEASON VENDOR, THEY CAN THEN FOR THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL AND ALL FESTIVALS FOR THAT.
YEAH, BECAUSE WE'RE TAKING THAT SATURDAY.
THAT WOULD BE A FARMER'S MARKET DAY, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO THE BEER GARDEN, IF THEY NEEDED TENT, THEY WILL NEED TO PROVIDE THEIR OWN TENTS.
UM, ANY 10 BY 10 OR 10 BY 20 TENT, UH, IS ALLOWED ANYTHING OVER THAT THEY WOULD NEED A TENT PERMIT.
IS THAT CORRECT? I THINK THAT'S, I THINK THAT IS CORRECT.
IF IT'S OVER THAT 10 BY 20, UM, SET UP, TEAR DOWN PARKS AND REC WILL SET US UP BEFOREHAND.
UM, CITY TENTS, WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING DOWN, SO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE DOWN OUR CITY TENT.
UM, AND THAT'S PRETTY STANDARD.
IF WE GET TO RUM, KEATS HOPES, UM, IF WE FILL THEM, JOSH WAS GOING TO CHECK ON THE WRONG KEY, THAT SOULS, THE TOTERS OR TRASH CANS, THE BIG TOTERS TOO.
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO CHECK ON TO.
UM, BUT IF WE FILL THEM, WE WOULD HAVE TO ROLL THEM TO THE STREETS.
AND THEN MIKE GRAY FROM PUBLIC WORKS WITH HANDLE THAT FROM THERE FOR THE WHOLE FESTIVAL, WE GET TWO TRASH CANS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW BIG THEY ARE.
I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE THEY'RE BIG.
THAT'S LIKE TREMOR AND I MEAN, WE HAVE TRASH CANS THROUGHOUT THE PARK TOO.
THERE'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, BUT WE DO HAVE TO MAKE SURE, JUST LIKE WITH ANY FESTIVAL THAT THERE'S NO TRASH ON THE GROUNDS, WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP, MAKE SURE THAT ONCE THE FESTIVAL IS OVER, WE'VE GOT A FLASHLIGHT WALKING AROUND.
THERE'S NO FOOD, TRASH, WHATEVER.
IF SO WE HAVE TO GET IT TO THE TRASH CAN.
SO WE'LL START THAT PROCESS ABOUT NINE IT'S FROM FIVE TO 10.
YOU DON'T NEED FLASHLIGHTS, HONEY.
NOW FOR THAT PICKING UP TRASH AND ALL OF THAT STUFF, WASN'T THAT ONE OF THE VOLUNTEER THINGS WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO GET, I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM BOY SCOUTS.
SO WE'LL HAVE TO HAVE GLOVES AND TRASH BAGS AND OR SOMETHING TO PUT TRASH AND, AND WE'LL JUST, NORMALLY IT'S NOT A LOT OF TRASH, THE REST OF THE CITY EVENTS.
SO CONDITIONS THAT WE, WE ALWAYS DO CLEAN UP, WE CLEAN UP AFTER THE EVENT.
AND THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A TON OF STUFF TO CLEAN UP, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO ALWAYS HAVE SOMEBODY WHO LEAVES SOMETHING ON THE GROUND OR WHATEVER.
WHAT ABOUT JUST AS AN EXAMPLE.
SO LIKE FOR THE 4TH OF JULY, EVEN BEST HERE.
SO, UM, WHAT COMMISSION WITH BOARD, WHATEVER IT IS, PRIMARY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT BEAUTIFICATION AND ARE THEY RESPONSIBLE FOR SET UP CLEAN UP? THAT'S PROBABLY, YES, SHE IS NOT IN HER HEAD.
WE DID A LOT OF CLEANUP, BUT BECAUSE THE CROWD IS SO, I MEAN THE CROWD IS FEARS.
THERE'S GOING TO BE PROBABLY A PUBLIC'S WORK PERSON WORKING AT EVANGEL.
WE NOT GOING TO HAVE, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE 30,000 PEOPLE.
WE COULD
AND THE GOAL, THE GOAL IS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE ALWAYS DONE, YOU KNOW? CAUSE IT'S NORMALLY THE KIDS THROWING THE TRASH DOWN, JUST REMIND PEOPLE AND WE CAN TELL THEM WHEN THEY COME IN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TRASH RECEPTACLES LOCATED AROUND THE PARK, YOU KNOW, USE THEM.
SO, SO TO BE CLEAR, I KNOW WHEN WE, THERE WAS A MEETING, I KNOW A FEW WEEKS AGO THE, UM, TO TALK ABOUT KIND OF THE PLANNING FOR THE EVENT.
[01:20:01]
SO, SO HAVE WE SORT OF FIRMED UP THEN WHAT, OBVIOUSLY WE, YOU KNOW, WE AS COMMISSION MEMBERS NEED TO BE THERE AT THE EVENT.BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT SPECIFIC ROLES DO WE NEED TO HAVE.
ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC DUTIES THAT WE NEED TO CARRY OUT DURING THE EVENT? RIGHT.
I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A BOOTH RIGHT.
BUT, UM, I KNOW YOU MISSED SOME EARLIER ABOUT MAYBE PUTTING OUT SOME CONES TO, TO SECTION OFF, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE DON'T WANT CERTAIN PEOPLE TO GO, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IN CASE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE PEOPLE AT CERTAIN TIMES AND CERTAIN LOCATIONS, RIGHT.
THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT, WHAT THOSE SPECIFIC ROLES ARE RESPONSIBILITIES OTHER THAN JUST BEING THERE AND YOU KNOW, WATCHING THE EVENT OR JUST, YOU KNOW, WALKING AROUND.
BUT I'M JUST, JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THERE'S AGAIN, WHAT DO WE NEED TO BE DOING? AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE AT THE FOOD TRUCK.
YOU GOING TO BE DOING FOOD TRUCK.
THAT'S SO FOR YOU, I WOULD SAY THAT IS GOING TO BE VERY CRITICAL BECAUSE WE NEED TO GET FOOD TRUCKS POSITIONED PROPERLY.
SO BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT EXPERTISE IN ENGINEERING, I WOULD SAY YOU, AND MAYBE ANOTHER PERSON THAT WORK, THE FOOD TRUCKS, I JUST INITIALLY SET UP.
MAYBE SHOW YOU A TEMPLATE, BUT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME.
IT DOESN'T TAKE AN ENGINEER TO DO THAT.
BUT ANYWAY, BUT YEAH, I GOT YOU.
WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT, THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE MEASURED.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU NEED TO, ACTUALLY, YOU DON'T EVEN REALLY NEED, BECAUSE WHAT WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN IS YOU'LL GET THEM SET UP AND SOMEBODY WILL INEVITABLY COME IN THERE LATE.
SOMEBODY WILL ALWAYS BE LIKE, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT STUFF SET UP AND NOW YOU GOT TO REFIGURE.
MAYBE YOU MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, BUT I ASSUME IT'S, YOU KNOW, CAUSE WE KNOW WHAT VENDORS ARE COMING.
SO WE HAVE, WE ALREADY LAID OUT WHERE THOSE VENDORS ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE POSITIONED THAT ON A MAP.
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT PART YET.
SO THAT, ARE WE DOING IT ON THURSDAYS OR STAFFS? ARE WE DOING THAT TONIGHT? WE CAN DO.
I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT THURSDAY FOR SURE.
BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE STILL COMING IN.
WELL THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU BECAUSE I FOUND OUT THERE'S NO SOUTH WITH, LIKE YOU SAID, THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH LIKE HOW MANY CAN FIT AND HOW MANY MORE CAN FIT AND DO YOU, BECAUSE YOU DID NEED MORE.
AND I FOUND OUT THERE'S A SOUTHWESTERN, OHIO, FIND HER ON FACEBOOK WHERE YOU COULD POST AND SAY DETAILS TIME.
AND THEN THEY TELL YOU THEY COME IN.
BUT IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE IN 10 PEOPLE APART, HOW MANY MORE CAN? WELL, THE MAP THAT WE HAVE FROM MARIGOLD AND JOSH SAID HE WAS GOING TO SEND ME THE NEW MAP AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT YET.
BUT THE OLD MAP HAD ROOM FOR ABOUT 50 TRUCKS OR I'M SORRY, 50 VENDORS.
AND THEN ABOUT 10 TRUCKS, 10 TRUCKS IT'S SET UP AND RIGHT BEFORE, LIKE NOW, NO, NO, NO.
HOW MANY TRUCKS DO WE HAVE FOR THIS? WE'LL HAVE TO GET AN UPDATE FROM JOSH.
SO LET'S GET THAT ON FOR THE NINTH.
BECAUSE THE, THE LAST THING HE GAVE US, THERE WERE 19 TOTAL.
UM, 19 TOTAL APPLICATIONS, WHICH INCLUDED TRUCKS AND VENDORS.
AND MY LAST NOTES, I THINK IT WAS FIVE TRUCKS, FOUR OR FIVE, FOUR OR 500 TRUCKS.
BUT THERE'S MORE THAT WE CAN SOURCE FOR SURE.
THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THE FOOD TRUCK THAT'S NOW RIGHT BY CASEY'S IS, UM, MEXICAN FOOD.
UM, HAVE YOU HAD IT? I HAVEN'T HAD IT.
WE CAN STILL GET MORE SURE HE CAN.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT, THEY NORMALLY LET THEM GO UP TO THE WEEK BEFORE.
WHERE DID WE LAND ON THE KIDS AREA? UM, THAT'S IT, WELL, WE'RE JUST GOING TO, I GUESS, BUY WE'LL BUY ROOM, BE THERE ON THE NIGHT HE WAS IN, I'M SAYING FOR THE COMMS DEPARTMENT.
HE MENTIONED THAT HE MENTIONED THOSE TWO BAGS AS FAR AS ACTIVITY FOR THE KIDS AND ALSO FOR THE PARKING, YOU KNOW, LOGISTICS TODAY.
SO, UM, YEAH, IT'LL BE HIS FIRST EVENT.
SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF WE WANT TO PUT BY ROOM ON PARKING FOR THE VERY FIRST CITY EVENT THAT HE DOES.
SO WE MAY WANT TO, WE MAY WANT TO LET HIM HELP, BUT, UM, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A LOT IT'S OVERWHELMING.
BECAUSE I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW THAT, WELL, WE, WHEN YOU
[01:25:01]
MET WITH JOSH, I THOUGHT THAT FROM THAT MEETING, CAUSE WE CAN DO THAT STUFF.IN MY OPINION, THE CITY SHOULD HAVE MORE OF THAT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE POLICE.
THE CITY, THE CITY WILL NOT BE THERE THAT DAY.
SO IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A COMMISSION RUN EVENT.
UM, ALWAYS ALL OF THESE EVENTS ARE THEY'RE RUN BY THE COMMISSION.
THE CITY STAFF WON'T BE THERE.
SO THE POLICE WILL BE DIRECTING TRAP, RIGHT.
OR IF THE, IF THE, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, IN TERMS OF LIKE TRAFFIC THAT GETS BUILT UP ON BRANT OR SOLD OR WHAT HAVE YOU, THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING THE TRAFFIC PIECE.
BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, CORRECT.
IS THAT WHAT YOU MEANT WHEN YOU SAID WE ARE GOING TO HELP CONTROL THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, BUT IT, ONCE WE PUT THOSE COLUMNS DOWN, IT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST A MATTER OF US SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO PARK.
I GUESS WHAT I WAS ASKING WAS SO DO WE NEED TO BE, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, LIKE YOU GO TO SOME EVENTS, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU GO TO LIKE, UH, I THINK ABOUT, I GOTTA GO TO THE SOCCER TOURNAMENTS AND YOU DON'T HAVE LIKE MARKED OFF PARKING.
AND SO IF YOU'RE PARKED IN THE GRASS, YOU NEED PEOPLE TO KIND OF HELP MAYBE, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, PARK SUCH THAT IT'S MORE EFFICIENT.
BUT, BUT WE HAVE, WE DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO HELP PEOPLE WITH PARKING.
DO WE, IS THAT OTHER THAN SAYING, YOU CAN PARK IN THIS SLOT OR YOU CAN PARK THIS, YOU CANNOT PARK BACK BY THE AQUATIC CENTER OR DIRECTING TRENCHES DIRECTLY.
AND PEOPLE WHO COME TO OUR EVENTS KNOW KIND OF WHERE THEY, I MEAN, BECAUSE THE MAP IS THE SAME, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S MARY GOLD OR, UH, THE CHRISTMAS CARD, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE THE SAME AS FAR AS PARKING.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WITH US IS THE AQUATIC CENTER IS OPEN AND PEOPLE CAN NOT PARK BY THE AQUATIC CENTER.
NOW I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT FROM HEBREW HEIGHTS.
SO YOU GOTTA THINK ABOUT THAT TOO.
THAT MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH, YOU KNOW, HOW THE AIR, I MEAN, SO YEAH.
SO THEN THAT'S WHERE WE ASKED THE QUESTION AND YOU CAN PARK HERE.
IT'S IT'S REALLY NOT THAT COMPLICATED GUYS.
SO WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT IT AT THE TEST MEETINGS JUST TO SOLIDIFY SOME THINGS.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE POLICE WILL DIRECT THE TRAFFIC FROM A BRAND.
THEY WILL CONTROL THE TRAFFIC.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE TELLING PEOPLE WHERE TO PARK.
SO THEY COMMISSIONED RUN EVENT.
SO THEY WILL, IF, IF THINGS GET DISORDERLY, THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY DO, BUT IT IS OUR JOB TO RUN THE EVENT.
SO I THINK THERE IS A TON OF PARKING OUT THERE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL AS WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME IN AND YOU SAY, GO THAT WAY AND FILL UP THAT PARKING LOT FIRST, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF SPOTS ARE IN THAT ONE LOT TO THE LEFT, YOU KNOW? AND THEN ONCE THAT'S FILLED, THEN WE CAN GO TO THE OTHER, HAVE A WHOLE OTHER CONVERSATION WHEN IT COMES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT PARKING LOT, GETTING TOWARDS THAT AQUATIC CENTER.
SO, SO A RECOMMENDATION, UM, FROM EXPERIENCE JUST WORKING AT THE FARMER'S MARKET AND KNOWING SOCCER AND THE AQUATIC CENTER IS ALWAYS OPEN.
I WOULD HAVE SOMEBODY STAND RIGHT AT THAT LOOP THERE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN TURN AND YOU CAN STOP PEOPLE RIGHT THERE.
IF YOU'RE COMING FOR THIS, YOU GO THAT WAY.
AND ET CETERA, AND THEN THINK ABOUT SOCCER, HOPEFULLY SOCCER WILL BE GONE BY 12 O'CLOCK.
WELL, WE'LL BE THERE EARLY THOUGH.
IT WAS SOCCER WAS THE END OF JUNE.
NOW SEASON'S OVER, IT'S A ROVER.
UM, UH, RESTAURANTS, AUTO LOCK AT 7:00 AM THEY AUTO LOCK AT 9:00 PM.
SO THAT'S, I MEAN, THAT'S THE EVENTS TIL 10.
IF ANYBODY HAS TO USE THE BATHROOM AFTER 9:00 PM, THEY'RE OUT OF LUCK.
UNLESS THE, UNLESS THEY GO TO A QUARTER A PORT-A-POTTY JOSH DID MENTION, UM, TWO PORTABLES.
I ALSO DID ASK FOR TWO PORTABLES.
I MEAN, THAT'S ONLY GOING TO BE A PROBLEM FOR THE PHONE FAST AND PEOPLE CAN BRING THEIR OWN COOLERS AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE BATHROOM.
SO, YOU KNOW, AND WE JUST CAN, WE CAN REMIND PEOPLE AT SOME POINT, RESTAURANTS WILL AUTO LOCK AT 9:00 PM.
SO IF YOU NEED TO USE THE RESTROOM YOU WANT TO GET THERE BY 8 55,
[01:30:05]
LET THEM KNOW THE RESTAURANTS WILL CLOSE, BUT WE'LL FIND TWO BIG ROCKS ABOUT 8 55.I THINK THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH ALL, UM, THAT WE COVERED.
SO ON THE NINTH I'LL HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE BEER GARDEN.
I WILL HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE MAPPING BECAUSE JOSH IS GOING TO SEND AN UPDATED MAP.
UM, AND LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE WILL I NEED TO UPDATE? OH, REGINA IS GOING TO SEND A LIST OF WHAT'S NEEDED TO PASS INSPECTION.
SO, UM, DID THEY SEND THAT OUT TO THE VENDORS? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING READY TO SAY.
I'LL REACH OUT TO JOSH JUST TO SEE WHAT THEY NORMALLY SEND OUT.
UM, SO WE JUST, WE'VE JUST LEARNED ABOUT THIS, THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS THE, SO THAT IS IN OUR, OUR CYCLE TO START SENDING THAT OUT TO THE VENDORS.
IT'S NOT NEW WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.
THERE'S SOME LITTLE NUANCES, BUT IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE.
IT'S THE SAME FOR ANY PLACE THEY WOULD SET UP.
THEY HAVE HAVE THESE INSPECTIONS.
I HAVE A LOT OF NEWS FOR THE, UM, AS FAR AS THAT GOES.
AND THEN, SO ANY TASK WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF, THEN WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IN THAT JUNE 9TH MEETING, THE MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS.
AND, UM, REMEMBER THAT TARA HAS STARTED THE GOOGLE SHEET THAT WILL INCLUDE THE VOLUNTEER PIECES THAT WE DISCUSSED AT THAT PLANNING MEETING.
I MEAN, AT THE OUTREACH MEETING.
I'M JUST GOING TO UPDATE THAT'S ONGOING IN THERE TOO.
SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR MEETING, WE CAN PULL THAT UP, SHARE THE SCREEN, PULL THAT OUT, JUST LIKE A WORKING DOCUMENT.
THEN THERE'S A TAB FOR THE FLYER.
SO WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING WHO WE ARE SENDING THE FLYER TO AS WELL FOR THE NUMEROUS FLYERS.
SO IF I SEND IT TO JOE, BOB PUT THAT IN THERE.
SO WE KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHO IT WAS SENT TO.
THAT'S JUST A HAPPY THING FOR MY OWN WORK TODAY.
WE'RE GOOD WITH MULTICULTURAL.
I DO WANT TO NOTE, UM, THINK I FORWARDED AN EMAIL TO YOU.
ALL THAT I SENT TO COUNCIL MEMBERS REGARDING TO ASK FROM THEM.
AND THE FIRST WAS THAT THEY ATTEND OUR COMMISSION MEETING TODAY, UM, TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAD, WHICH I RECEIVED FURTHER CLARIFICATION FROM TONY, THAT IF THEY ARE HERE AND A QUORUM, THEN IT REPRESENTS A PUBLIC MEETING.
AND BASICALLY WE'RE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT.
SO THE SECOND ASCE WAS THAT WE NEED INVOLVEMENT FROM CITY COUNCIL AT OUR UPCOMING CULTURE WEEK.
PROGRAMMING W ARE REQUESTED THAT THEY BE PRESENT AT AS MANY EVENTS AS POSSIBLE AND TO BRING THEIR CONSTITUENTS WITH THEM AND TO SHARE AND POST OUR FLYER, WHICH I SENT TO THEM VIA EMAIL.
UM, WE'D LIKE REPRESENTATION TO ALL THE EVENTS AND SPECIFICALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM AT THE JUNE 23RD COMMUNITY FORUM VERSUS THEM AS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.
I ASKED THAT THEY BE A PART OF THIS PROGRAM AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE CITY AND CITIES SIT THE CITY'S ACTION AND COMMITMENT.
UM, I ALSO ASKED IN THAT EMAIL MAYOR GORE, IF HE COULD BE AVAILABLE TO SPEAK AT THE EVENT, IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THE JUNE TEAM MUSIC FESTIVAL, I ASKED MAYOR GORE, IF HE COULD PRESENT AT THE PROGRAM, THE JUNETEENTH PROCLAMATION AND
[01:35:01]
SHARE WORDS.AND I ALSO ASKED THAT THEY WELL SAID IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY COULD HAVE A BOOTH AT THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
SO THOSE WERE THE ASS SPECIFIC TO, UM, THE CULTURAL WEEK PROGRAMMING.
SO I'M NOT HEARD BACK YET FROM MAYOR GORE, BUT OR ANYONE INDIVIDUALLY REGARDING THAT EMAIL, EXCEPT FOR TONY.
I DO WANT TO SAY THAT, UM, ANITA KITCHEN DID ASK TO BE EXCUSED TONIGHT, UM, BECAUSE OF HER FAMILY SITUATION.
SO I WANTED TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT.
SO I THINK THAT THAT WAS EVERYTHING UNDER THERE.
SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE THE MAYOR TO READ THE PROCLAMATION AND SHARE WORDS.
HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE CITY COUNCIL PRESENT AT AS MANY EVENTS AS POSSIBLE ALONG WITH THEM BRINGING PEOPLE AS SPECIFICALLY, ESPECIALLY AT THE COMMUNITY FORUM.
YOLANDA, CAN I ADD SOMETHING? YES.
SO JUST SO THAT YOU GUYS ARE ALL AWARE, ALL THE ADVERTISING HAS GONE UP ON THE KEY ADS.
UM, IT'S ALSO ON THE CLOUD PARK, DIGITAL BOARD, IT'S ON THE LOBBY BOARDS HERE, UM, AT THE VARIOUS CITY HALL BUILDINGS, UH, THE EVENTS WERE ALL CREATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
WE JUST HAVE TO ADD THE DETAILS IN THERE FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE.
UM, AND SO WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF FEEDBACK ALREADY.
SO WHEN I GOT THE JUNETEENTH ONE TODAY THAT SHOWED THE BAND, I ADDED THAT AND PEOPLE ARE EXCITED AND ALREADY SHARING.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE ALL OF THAT IS THAT, CAN YOU LIKE TAG US IN THOSE SO WE CAN BE, YOU GUYS ARE CO-HOSTS ON THE, ON THE SOCIAL, ON THE FACEBOOK EVENTS.
SO YEAH, SO WE DON'T NEED TO POST THEM INDIVIDUALLY AS NO.
SO I'VE ALREADY, I'VE ALREADY POSTED THE EVENT.
AND THEN I SHARED THE MORE DETAILED FLYER THAT CAME IN THE DISCUSSION.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO SHARE THOSE EVENTS THAT WAY.
UM, AND THEN THAT WAY YOU KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A TARGET TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING, OR, I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE SAME STATISTICS THAT ARE THERE AS WELL.
UM, YOU CAN INVITE YOUR WHOLE FRIENDS LIST AND ALL OF THOSE DETAILS, SO, YUP.
WE HAVE 16 PEOPLE GOING AND 93 INTERESTED FOR THE JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL.
THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS, BAZAAR, SAME FOR LITERACY.
VERY THERE'S FIVE PEOPLE GOING AND 55 PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL SO WE CAN SHARE THESE.
UM, OF COURSE I'M ACTUALLY ON OUR FACEBOOK, BUT, UM, WE CAN SHARE THESE AS, AS NEEDED THEN THIS ONE, OUR THAT'S OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE COOL IS TO SHARE SOME OF THE VENDORS THAT WILL BE THERE AND SOME OF THE FOOD TRUCKS TO GIVE THEM SOME ADVERTISEMENT AND TO LET PEOPLE KNOW, HEY, THIS FOOD TRUCK WILL BE THERE.
THIS PERSON WILL BE PERFORMING.
SO THEN THAT WAY PEOPLE WILL GET EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
I CAN'T REMEMBER, ARE THEY ON THE FLYERS? THE, THE BAND AND THEY ARE, AND, AND I'M SO EXCITED THAT DJ OSCAR WILL BE THERE BECAUSE HE HAS HIS OWN FOLLOWING.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
SO YOU CAN BRING US FOLLOWING.
AND IF YOU WANT TO, I MEAN, YOU CAN ADD THEM AS CO-HOSTS AND CHANGE THEIR SETTINGS JUST, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, LET ME KNOW.
UM, BECAUSE THAT WAY IT AUTOMATICALLY SHOWS UP AS AN EVENT ON THEIR PAGE AS WELL, AS LONG AS THEY ACCEPT IT.
UM, SO THERE'S ALL KINDS OF WAYS TO GET THIS OUT THERE.
THE FLYER FOR THE JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL DOESN'T REALLY HAVE THE BAND OR ANYTHING.
IT JUST SAYS GNT MUSIC FESTIVAL FIVE TO 10 SUNDAY, JUNE 19TH AT THE EICHELBERGER.
SO THAT'S NOT, IF YOU GO IN THE DISCUSSION.
SEE, AND SOMEBODY PUT RIGHT BELOW THAT.
DID I MISS SOMETHING? WHICH BAND IS? YEAH.
CAUSE I HIT, I HAD POSTED THOSE AND THEN I JUST GOT THE FLYER STUFF.
SO MAYBE WE CAN UPDATE, UM, THAT EVENT TO THAT PICTURE.
WAIT, DO YOU HAVE TO, YOU NEED TO DO THAT ON YOUR END, SARAH TO UPDATE.
ARE WE ALL COHOST? WELL, THE DIVERSITY,
[01:40:01]
THERE ARE FACEBOOK PAGES.CO-HOSTS SO YOU CAN SHARE AND CHANGE AND STUFF.
BUT SHE'S, BUT THERE'S SOME DIMENSIONS AND STUFF.
SHE'S SO SHE'S THE VETERAN THIS STUFF.
WHEN SHE CHANGES SOMETHING, IT CHANGES IT ON EVERYTHING.
SO WE DON'T MISS ANYTHING, BUT THE FLYER, I DO THINK THAT FLYER, WE NEED TO POST IT ON OUR INDIVIDUAL FACEBOOK.
WE'RE GOING TO BE, WE'LL SHARE.
WE'RE GOING TO SHARE IT TO OUR PAGES AND ANY OTHER GROUPS, WE'RE A PART OF EVERYONE ON THE COMMISSION PROMISES TO DO THAT.
AND I WILL GO IN THERE AND PROMISE YOU PUT IN SOME OF THE FOOD TRUCK VENDORS AND YOU KNOW, SO PEOPLE CAN SEE WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE.
SHARE WITH YOUR NETWORK, SHARE WITH YOUR BUSINESS CONTEXT, SHARE WITH EVERYBODY.
AND EVERYBODY THAT'LL BE MY PROJECT TONIGHT.
UM, EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE THOSE NAPS, NOT RONDA'S GOING TO RESEND THOSE TO EVERYONE, MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL HAVE THE UPDATED FLYER.
MOVING FORWARD, COMMISSIONED ME.
OH, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR CALENDAR MARKS AT THE JUNE 9TH MEETING AT SEVEN 30, THE COMMISSION MEETINGS MOVING FORWARD.
SO BEGINNING JUNE THE, I MEAN, SORRY, JULY MEETING, WE WILL HAVE ONE MEETING AND WE WILL HAVE TASK GROUPS ASSIGNED.
SO PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE COMMISSION COMMITTEE MEETINGS ANY LONGER, BUT INSTEAD THERE WILL BE TASK GROUPS, WHICH MEANS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO HONE IN ON KEY GOALS AND PRIORITIES FOR 2022 AND 2023.
NOW I KNOW WE ALREADY HAVE SOME KEY THINGS THAT WE HAVE SCHEDULED FOR THE REMAINDER OF 22.
SO WE CAN START WORKING FROM THERE AND BUILDING FOR 2023 AS A WEEK AGO IS THE THOUGHT, BUT I THINK PLAN FOR, BY OCTOBER THAT WE HAVE THINGS PRETTY SOLID FOR THE 23.
SO WE'VE GOT, UM, BREAST CANCER AWARENESS EVENT FOR MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY.
HE SAID THAT THE CHAIRS CAN MEET IT.
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A PUBLIC MEETING BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A QUORUM.
SO HE SAID, WE COULD GO AHEAD AND SCHEDULE THAT TO GET THE CHAIRS TOGETHER, UM, TO TALK ABOUT HOW EACH COMMISSION OR EACH BOARD CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THAT EVENT.
SO WAIT A MINUTE, SAY THAT AGAIN FOR YOU.
SO WE TALKED ABOUT COLLABORATING WITH THE OTHER BOARDS FOR MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY FOR THE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS EVENT.
SO I WANTED TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A PUBLISHED MEETING.
HE SAID IT DOES NOT BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST BE LIKE THE CHAIRS FROM THE BOARDS THAT WOULD TAKE INFORMATION BACK TO THEIR BOARDS.
SO WE WOULD JUST, AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD TAKE A LEAD BUT ADVOCACY AND THEN WHAT WE WOULD HAVE EACH COMMISSION CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING TO THE, TO THE DAY, UM, AND ALSO WANT TO GET SOME BUSINESSES AND SOME, MAYBE SOME FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED AS WELL, SO WE CAN MAKE IT A TRUE, MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVEN SOUNDS GOOD.
SO I WILL GIVE YOU ALL THAT DATE ON THE NIGHTS WHEN WE MEET.
SO WE KNOW THAT WELL, BECAUSE THAT IS A TASK MEETING.
SO I WON'T GIVE YOU THAT, THEN I'LL GIVE YOU THAT DATE.
YOU CAN GET ANY DECISIONS OR BOTH.
PROBABLY THROUGH EMAIL, I'LL SEND IT OUT.
CAUSE I HAVE TO REACH OUT TO THE OTHER CHAIRS.
SO WE'LL HAVE THAT TASK GROUP AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE TASK GROUP FOR EDUCATION.
WE DO KNOW THAT THOSE ARE TWO UPCOMING THINGS I DON'T RIGHT NOW.
DON'T THINK THAT, UM, OUTREACH HAS ANYTHING, NOT NOW THERE WAS DISCUSSION OF SOMETHING THE FALL, BUT THAT DISCUSSION HAS BEEN TABLED UNTIL AFTER, AFTER JUNE.
SO JULY WILL BE ABLE TO BREATHE A LITTLE BIT.
THE, JUST A REMINDER THAT HEBREW HAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING WILL BE JUNE 9TH, 2022 AT 1130
[01:45:01]
AT FREAKERS AND MYSELF AND RON I'LL BE PRESENTING THE PRESENTATION THAT WE, THAT I PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL WOULD YOU ALL HAVE.SO IF YOU HAVE ANY UPDATES, PLEASE UPDATE IT LIKE YESTERDAY SO THAT WE CAN BE PREPARED FOR THAT JUNE 9TH PRESENTATION, UM, NAACP EX-OFFICIO MEMBER, I'VE REACHED OUT TO THE NAACP PRESIDENT, DEREK FORD AND I SPOKEN WITH FELICIA HILL WAS AN NAACP P MEMBER AND ALSO A COMMUNITY MEMBER.
SHE LIVES IN HUBER HEIGHTS AND SHE IS PLANNING TO I'VE SENT HER ALL OF OUR LINKS TO WATCH OUR MEETINGS AND THINGS, TO SEE IF SHE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ASSUMING THAT EX-OFFICIO MEMBER ROLE.
SHE'S VERY INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE CITY MANAGER SEARCH AND RECOMMENDATION.
SO AS EVERYONE IS AWARE, WE PRESENTED RHONDA AND I AT THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING REGARDING CONCERNS ON THE CITY MANAGER SEARCH PROCESS.
SO WE WILL BE VOTING ON SUBMITTING A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL IN TERMS OF WHAT, BECAUSE WE ARE RECOMMENDING BOARD, WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND TO THEM THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A FAIR, UNBIASED PROCESS FOR THE CITY MANAGER SEARCH.
AND THERE WAS A DRAFT RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS SENT TO EVERYONE.
DID EVERYONE GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO, I REVIEWED THAT.
WAS THAT SENT WITH THE AGENDA OR A SEPARATE EMAIL? THAT WAS A SEPARATE EMAIL.
I APOLOGIZE THAT ONE, I HAVE NOT PASSED A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS.
CAUSE WE GOT A BOAT ON IT TONIGHT.
CAN EVERYONE PULL IT UP? I GOT IT.
UM, BASICALLY IT READS THAT DUE TO CONCERNS REGARDING THE CITY MANAGER SEARCH PROCESS THAT HE BRIDES CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THE SEARCH FOR CITY MANAGER IS REOPENED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
AFTER REVIEWING THE RESUMES AND INTERVIEWS OF THE FOUR CITY MANAGER FINALISTS, WE FOUND THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS SELECTED FOR THE CITY MANAGER POSITION DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS THAT CITY, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL SET FORTH FOR THE POSITION IN THE POSITION DESCRIPTION, THE POSITION DESCRIPTION OUTLINES THAT THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HOLD A BACHELOR'S DEGREE FROM AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, POLITICAL SCIENCE, BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, OR A CLOSELY RELATED FIELD HAVE 10 YEARS OF PROGRESSIVELY RESPONSIBLE EXPERIENCE IN MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION, A MINIMUM OF FIVE YEARS OF SUPERVISORY EXPERIENCE OR AN EQUIVALENT COMBINATION OF EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF THE SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE OF THE ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS OF THE JOB.

SERVICES MUST UNDERSTAND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND MUNICIPAL FINANCE SKILLS ARE NEEDED TO ENSURE OPPORTUNITIES ARE SOUGHT AND IMPLEMENTED USING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES THAT MAKE THE BEST USE OF CITY RESOURCES.
THE SELECTED CANDIDATE, JOHN RUSSELL DOES NOT MEET THE CITY'S OUTLINE QUALIFICATIONS UPON
[01:50:01]
FURTHER REVIEW OF THE FINALISTS.THERE WERE OTHER CANDIDATES WHO DID MEET THE REQUIREMENTS IN ONE CANDIDATE WHO MET THE REQUIREMENTS IN BOTH OF YOUR PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS, HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE IN ICM, MAY CREDENTIALS.
GIVEN THIS, THERE IS APPARENT BIAS IN THE SELECTION PROCESS THAT WAS UTILIZED TO SELECT THE FINAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS POSITION.
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MANY HIRING PROCESSES ARE BIASED AND UNFAIR AND RESEARCH SHOWS THAT UNCONSCIOUS RACISM, AGEISM, AND SEXISM PLAY A BIG ROLE IN WHO GETS HIRED UNCONSCIOUS BIAS BIASES THAT WE AREN'T AWARE OF CAN HAVE A CRITICAL EFFECT ON JUDGMENT AND SELECTION AND CAN CAUSE DECISIONS TO BE MADE IN FAVOR OF ONE PERSON OR GROUP TO THE DETRIMENT OF OTHERS, THIS AND PIECE DIVERSITY AND RECRUITMENT EFFORTS.
THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION WAS ESTABLISHED TO ACT IN AN ADVISORY CAPACITY TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY MANAGER TO PROMOTE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND THE FULL EXERCISE OF CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL PERSONS WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION, BECAUSE OF RACE, ETHNICITY, COLOR, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN TO COMBAT DISCRIMINATION, RACISM, AND OTHER BIASES THROUGH EDUCATION, MEDIATION, POLICY LEGISLATION, AND COMPLAINT REVIEW RESOLUTION.
THE CULTURE OF DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CITY MANAGER THAT MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF CIVIL RIGHTS CONFLICTS AND PROMOTE AN APPRECIATION OF DIVERSITY WITHIN THE CITY.
UM, THE REFERENCE FOR THAT IS THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS WEBSITE.
A REVISED VERSION OF THE STATEMENT WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE CITY MANAGER JOB POSTING, WHICH PROMOTES THAT YOU VALUE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, GIVEN THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION'S ROLE AS CITED ABOVE THE BIAS IN THE SELECTION PROCESS AND THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL PERSONS WE ARE RECOMMENDING AND ADVISING THAT THE CITY REASSESSED THE CANDIDATES TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE A HIGHLY QUALIFIED CITY MANAGER WHO MEETS THE CRITERIA OUTLINED IN THE POSITION DESCRIPTION.
FURTHERMORE, THE PROCLAMATION DENOUNCING RACISM, WHICH WAS SIGNED BY CITY COUNCIL ON APRIL 1ST, 2021 STATES THAT CITY COUNCIL COMMITS TO EQUITY AND EMPLOYMENT.
AND WE WANT TO UPHOLD THE PROCLAMATION.
WE'RE SEEKING THE ELIMINATION OF A BIAS HIRING PROCESS THAT IMPEDES HIRING THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE.
WE ALSO ASK THAT YOU RECONSIDER THE CANDIDATE WHO POSSESSED ALL REQUIREMENTS.
IN ADDITION TO THE PREFERRED CRITERIA, GERALD SMITH, IF THE POSITION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED, WE ARE RECOMMENDING AND ADVISING THE FOLLOWING A TRANSPARENT RECRUITMENT PROCESS IN WHICH KEY STAKEHOLDERS ARE INVOLVED, INCLUDING MEMBERS FROM THE COMMUNITY, A PUBLIC FORUM IN WHICH THE COMMUNITY CAN BE INVOLVED IN HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET FINALISTS AND ASK QUESTIONS, INCLUDING PUBLIC SHARING AND ACCESS OF RESUMES AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION WITH THE COMMUNITY, A DIVERSE INTERVIEW AND HIRING COMMITTEE WITH REPRESENTATION FROM THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION AND DIVERSE REPRESENTATION FROM THE COMMUNITY IMPLEMENT A FAIR, CONSISTENT, AND UNBIASED INTERVIEWING PROCESS, WHICH INCLUDES THE SCORING AND POINT BASED RAKING RANKING SYSTEM ALIGNED TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE POSITION, THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO AID THE CITY.
I'M SORRY, CAN AID THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT IT HAS A DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE AND IS EQUITABLE SCORING SYSTEMS SHOULD BE SHARED PUBLICLY ALONG WITH THE RESUMES.
UM, UH, ARE THESE ALL, IS THIS VERBATIM? YES.
THAT WAS TAKEN FROM THE, UM, WHAT'S THE RESEARCH BAKER TILLY WEBSITES, BECAUSE THIS THING, THIS IS THE POSITION DESCRIPTION OUTLINES THAT THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE HAS EVER MADE IT TO.
UM, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE HAVE THINGS THAT IDENTIFY WHAT'S REQUIRED AND MAY BE ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT ARE LIKE DESIRE, RIGHT? SO THIS WAS COPIED AND PASTED.
AND THE PARAGRAPH BEFORE THAT AS WELL, THAT ENDS IN A COLON WHERE WE INTENDING TO SET FORTH IN THE POSITION FOR THE POSITION IN THE POSITION DESCRIPTION.
IT'S JUST COPIED INTO SAY THAT AGAIN, THE SEMINAR, WHICH PARAGRAPH SECOND,
[01:55:01]
AFTER REVIEWING THE RESUMES AND INTERVIEWS OF THE FOUR CITY MANAGER FINALIST, WE FOUND THAT THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE SELECTED FOR THE CITY MANAGER POSITION DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT WHO WAS SELECTED BY THE CITY MANAGER CAUSE THE ONE FINALIST.UM, BUT WHERE THAT SENTENCE ENDS IS WITH A COLON INSTEAD OF MAYBE A PERIOD OR, OR WAS THE NEXT LINE WHERE WE WERE LISTING THAT DESCRIPTION PERIOD.
WHAT ELSE DID YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU? THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE IN THE RESUMES, THE INTERVIEWS FOR THE FOREST CITY MANAGER FINALISTS FOUND THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS SELECTED DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS, THIS ACCOUNT.
WAS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THERE? I DO AGREE WITH, UH, FRIENDS SUGGESTIONS, FRED SUGGESTED REMOVING THIRD PARTY SECOND, OR THE WE, UM, LOWER TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS A QUALIFY.
UM, SO WHAT, WHAT DO WE CHANGE THERE? BECAUSE IT IS COMING FROM THE COMMISSION.
SO WHAT DO WE, THE COMMISSION OR SO FRED SANDS SAKE, THE WE OUT AND MAKE IT NEUTRAL.
LIKE, IS THAT WHAT HE'S SAYING? I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE OUT THAT RESEARCH FOR CITY MANAGER, FINALISTS, BUT PUT AN S ON THAT FINALIST TOO.
IT WAS DETERMINED THAT INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS THAT, SHOULD THERE BE AN APOSTROPHE S UM, FOR MASTERS? CAUSE I SEE, I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE, IT MADE ME, I DON'T CORRECT IT.
IS IT THE THIRD BULLET HAS MASTERS WITH APOSTROPHE S AND THEN THE PARAGRAPH THAT STARTS THE SELECTED CANDIDATE.
THERE'S NO APOSTROPHE S CONSISTENCY THERE.
SO IS THIS SOMETHING WE CAN KICK BACK AND FORTH AND, UM, YEAH, WE CAN EDIT THIS BY OURSELVES.
I GUESS THE QUESTION IS BEFORE WE EDIT THE DOCUMENT, ARE WE IN AGREEMENT WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION? RIGHT.
SO WHEN YOU SAY, UH, PROCESSING WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS ARE INVOLVED, WHO ARE THESE KEY STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING THEM? I MEAN, THAT'S HOW I WOULD FEEL THE STAKEHOLDERS ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT.
IT JUST SAYS INCLUDING, RIGHT.
SO KEY STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT INCLUDING SO AS KEY STAKEHOLDERS, WHEREAS MAYBE A SEPARATE GROUP, AND THEN YOU HAVE OTHER MEMBERS, RIGHT? SO I JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN WE USE THE TERM KEY STAKEHOLDERS, WHO ARE WE REFERRING TO? WHAT PARAGRAPH ARE YOU IN ERIC? SO UNDER, YOU KNOW, SO AFTER IT SAYS BASICALLY THE LAST POSITION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED THE MODEL, AND THEN WE TRANSPLANT THE PROCESS OF WHICH KEY STAKEHOLDERS ARE INVOLVED, UH, WHO THE MEMBERS FROM THE COMMUNITY.
SO TO INCLUDE MAYBE TO INCLUDE AND THEN TO LIST THEM OUT.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I'M JUST SAYING THAT WHEN USING THE TERM KEY STAKEHOLDERS WERE THE KEY STATEMENT, WE WANT TO FIND THAT ATTORNEY TO FIND WHAT THAT IS, RIGHT.
BECAUSE ARE WE SAYING MEMBERS OF THE CITY, THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF, WE KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE, BUT YEAH, JUST, YEAH.
WHAT DOES THAT ONE, SOME SPECIFIC PEOPLE THERE, THE COMMUNITY
[02:00:02]
DESCRIBING.SO YOU ALREADY, I GUESS, I ASSUME YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE INVOLVED.
WHO'S INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS, RIGHT? SO THE QUESTION IS, ARE THERE SOME ADDITIONAL, CAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THAT I GUESS THE MAYOR OR THE CITY COUNSELOR, YOU KNOW, STAFF, THEY'RE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.
BUT I THINK WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WE WANT ADDITIONAL, RIGHT.
AND THEN WHO ARE THOSE ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT WE WANT TO ADD THAT YOU JUST NEED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC IF WE'RE GOING TO BE THE KEY, SAY IN WHICH ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDERS ARE INVOLVED.
SO JUST EXPAND AND
THERE'S SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PROCESS, OR AT LEAST HAVE SOME AWARENESS.
MOST PEOPLE ARE LIKE, SO WHO ARE THEY? I THINK MEMBERS FROM THE COMMUNITY CITY, COUNCIL, CITY STAFF, CITIZENS OF PAPER HEIGHTS, BUT THAT'S STILL NOT SPECIFIC.
SO IN A, BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THOSE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO BE INVOLVED, WE'RE NOT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO HAVE FOLKS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW ARE GOING TO BE A PART OF THE PROCESS, RIGHT.
WHERE I KNOW THE CITY GOING TO BE INVOLVED, RIGHT.
WHERE WE'RE RECOMMENDING, NOT ONLY WANT TO SAY IN ADDITION TO KEY STAFF OR CITY STAFF, WE WANT THESE INDIVIDUALS OR THIS GROUP AT THE SAME, WE WANT, YOU KNOW, REPRESENTATION FROM THE, FROM THIS BOARD, RIGHT.
THAT COULD BE ONE MORE WANTED TO SAY THE CHAIR OF I'M JUST USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE.
RIGHT? YOU WANT SOMEONE FROM, WELL, SHOULD YOU SAY A DIVERSE INTERVIEW AND HIRING COMMITTEE WITH REPRESENTATION FROM THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY CITIZENS ACTUALLY COMMISSIONED AND DIVERSE REPRESENTATION FROM, OKAY.
IS THAT A RIGHT? SO MAYBE THAT COVERS IT, RIGHT? I MEAN, UNLESS THERE'S SOME CIGARETTES BEING SPECIFIC, RIGHT.
THEN YOU CAN JUST CHECK, MAYBE YOU TAKE IT, PULL IT OFF AND PUT A TRANSPARENT RECRUITMENT PROCESS IN WHICH THERE IS A DIVERSE INTERVIEW HIRING WITH WRITTEN.
YOU JUST COMBINE THE FIRST AND THE THIRD ONE IN THREE AND COMBINE IT, TAKE A TRANSPARENT PROCESS.
SO WE LOOKING FOR A PANEL, I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO, IN ADDITION TO THE CITY STAFF, UH, WE WANT TO AT LEAST HAVE SOMEONE ALREADY SOMEWHERE, OR MAYBE A GROUP OF PEOPLE COMING TO THIS CONDITION OR FROM THE LARGER
SO THEN SAY A TRANSPARENT RECRUITMENT PROCESS IN WHICH KEY AND ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDERS ARE INVOLVED.
'CAUSE WHEN YOU SAY KEY STAFF, THEY MAY THINK KEY STAFF BECAUSE THE STAFF WAS INTERVIEWED.
I BELIEVE THEY HAD FEEDBACK IN THE PROCESS.
SO WHEN YOU SAY KEY STAFF, MEANING, CAUSE WE GOT IT, WE NEED SOME NON DEPARTMENT HEAD FEEDBACK TOO.
SO MAYBE KATIE SHE'S THE DEPARTMENT HEAD AND THEN MAYBE WE GET, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT A DEPARTMENT HEAD FROM KEY STAFF.
WELL, LET ME ASK THIS THEN I DIDN'T SEE THE ABUSE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS PRESENT AT THE INTERVIEW OR DURING THE INTERVIEWS.
DO YOU KNOW WHO SPECIFICALLY SAT IN ON SEVEN ON THE INTERVIEW PANEL? CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
BUT YEAH, CITY STAFF DID GET, DID DO YOU KNOW FOR A FACT, I DON'T WANNA PUT YOU ON THE SPOT, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT CITY STAFF WAS ABLE TO WEIGH IN AND GIVE FEEDBACK JUST TO HER.
SO WHERE THEY SAT, I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS BESIDES CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AT THE DESK.
SO DO THEY WATCH THE RECORDING OF THE INTERVIEWS TO GET THEIR INPUT? UM, OKAY.
FOR INSTANCE, YOU MENTIONED KATIE MS. NICELY GAVE INPUT AS A DEPARTMENT HEAD, CORRECT.
SO DID SHE WATCH THE VIDEO RECORDINGS OF THE FOUR CANDIDATES FOR THE POSITION? NO, THEY MET STAFF.
A PIECE THAT THEY HAD THEIR OWN SEPARATE INTERVIEW.
SO IS THAT, IS THAT A PART OF THE PROCESS INITIATIVE FOR THOSE BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL? SORRY.
IT'S PART OF THE RECRUITING PROCESS THAT THEY INTERVIEW WITH
[02:05:01]
THE CITY COUNCIL AND THEY INTERVIEWED WITH THE DEPARTMENT HEADS.NOW HOW MUCH THE, THE, THE, UM, INTERVIEW, THE FEEDBACK FROM THE INTERVIEWS FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEADS WEIGHED INTO THEIR SELECTION.
I THINK WE NEED TO GET THE FORMAL RECOMMENDATION ON THE FLOOR IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION.
AND THEN WE CAN FLUSH OUT THESE DETAILS, YOU KNOW, IN THE BACKEND, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T KNOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.
SO LET'S, ARE WE INTERESTED IN, I WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE SHOULD SO MANY.
SO LET'S FORMALIZE THE MOTION A LITTLE BIT MORE.
SO IS THE MOTION THAT WE ARE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE HIRING PROCESS BE COMPLETED AGAIN? WHAT, WHAT IS CAUSE IT'S WE NEED TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY, WHAT ARE WE RECOMMENDING? ARE WE RECOMMENDING A PANEL? ARE WE RECOMMENDING, WHAT ARE WE RECOMMENDING? I WOULD SAY YOU WANT TO BE OPEN.
ARE WE ASKING THEM RECOMMENDED THAT THEY BE OPEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT? OR IS IT, LET ME SAY SOMETHING HERE ABOUT, WELL, IS THIS REAL, THEN WE RECOMMEND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
BUT THEN WE SAY ABOVE THAT, UM, WE REQUESTED TO BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE CANDIDATES, RIGHT? SO I'M JUST, WELL, THE FORMAL RECOMMENDATION WRITTEN IS THE FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE SEARCH FOR CITY MANAGER IS REOPENED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
SO THAT'S THE FORMAL RECOMMENDATION AS WRITTEN WOULD BE THAT THE SEARCH FOR CITY MANAGERS REOPENED PERIOD.
AND THEN WHY SHOULDN'T WE TAKE OUT US IF THE POSITION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED
CAUSE I WAS SAYING ONE OF THEM WE ARE RECOMMENDING AND ADVANCING THE FOLLOWING LET'S TAKE OFF.
SO CAN WE MAKE, REDO THE MOTION TO THE, THE MOTION IS TWO PER FIRE, REAL, THE REAL MOST
I HAVE A MOTION THAT WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT DUE TO CONCERN REGARDING THE CITY MANAGER SEARCH PROCESSES, IF YOU BRING CULTURE AND DIVERSITY ASKING PERMISSION WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT A FORMAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNCIL OF THE SEARCH FOR CITY MANAGER IS REOPENED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS LISTED ON THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE NOT READ.
SO THAT'S THE OVERALL RECOMMENDATION, BUT THEN THERE'S A SPECIFIC ASK THAT HAPPENED THE BOTTOM, RIGHT? AS TO WHAT YOU WANT, YOU KNOW, ASSUMING THEY'RE GOING TO REOPEN SOMETHING THAT YOU DO IT IT'S LIKE, IF THEY DO IT, THEN IT'S LIKE WHAT? WE WANT YOU TO DO THESE THINGS.
BECAUSE IT'S SORT OF THE WAY IT'S SET UP.
DO WE WANT TO KEEP IT SIMPLE INITIALLY JUST TO GIVE THEM TO, WE NEED TO GET A SECOND ON THAT MOTION, ERIC.
SO I GUESS MY CONCERN IS WE NEED TO, I AGREE WITH THE OVERALL EMANATION, RIGHT? THE POSITION COMPETITION, THE NEXT QUESTION IS CLEAN UP THE DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND THEN INTO THE DETAIL WE NEED TO DECIDE AND THEN WE'LL TWEAK IT AND GOT TO TALK ABOUT, SO I'M GOING TO SEND YOU
YOU NEED A BOAT ON THE RECOMMENDATION DNF FOR THAT.
[02:10:01]
WITH THE VOTE FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION AND THEN BRING IT BACK FOR FINAL VOTE NEXT.CAUSE THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING.
SO IT'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED AND SECOND, ARE WE READY FOR THE VOTE? YES.
I MS. PURVIS I MR. UH, MISS STEGALL, MR. STEVENS, MS. STEVENS.
IT HAS UNANIMOUSLY PASSED THAT WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL, BUT WITH A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THE SEARCH FOR CITY MANAGERS REOPENED.
NOW, NOW WE CAN MOVE DOWN TO THE SECOND PAGE ENTITLED.
I THINK THE TOP PART IS TIGHT BECAUSE THAT'S JUST THE JOB DESCRIPTION.
CAN WE, UH, MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS THAT FIRST PARAGRAPH IS TO END AT REOPENED PERIOD AND THEN, YOU KNOW, GO INTO OUR REASONS BEHIND THAT.
I WOULD TAKE OUT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, JUST FOR THE RECOMMENDATION.
I WOULD JUST END IT, YOU KNOW, TO SUBMIT A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THE SEARCH FOR CITY MANAGER IS REOPENED.
DID I GET THAT RIGHT? ALL RIGHT.
HERE'S THE THING TO THOSE CANDIDATES.
TWO OF THOSE CANDIDATES MAY THEY MAY HAVE MOVED ON ALREADY TO OTHER POSITIONS.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE SO MUCH, DO WE NEED TO NECESSARILY GO INTO, UM, THE FOUR FINALISTS? DO WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THAT OR DO WE JUST NEED TO GO INTO WHAT OUR ASK IS? THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA WORK OUR WAY DOWN TO THAT, RHONDA, THAT SECOND PAGE.
SO JUST MAKING SURE WE'RE GOOD WITH THAT SECOND PARAGRAPH.
WELL IN THAT PARAGRAPH, WE JUST SAY THAT AFTER WE REVIEWED, WE FOUND THAT THE PERSON DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS WHERE WE GO INTO THE SPECIFICS OF THE OTHER.
I DON'T THINK YOU NECESSARILY, YOU'RE SAYING THE PROCESS IS FLAWED PERIOD.
SCRAP THAT SCRAP THE PROCESS TO OPEN THIS UP AGAIN UNDER D OKAY.
SO, SO WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO THE SECOND PAGE, RIGHT? YEAH.
NOW THAT WOULD BE WHAT THE FOURTH PARAGRAPH.
SO THOSE GUIDELINES SHOULD START WITH, IF THE POSITION NEEDS TO BE OPENED, WE ARE RECOMMENDED AFTER REOPENING THE POSITION.
AND USUALLY THEN THE OPENING SHOULD INCLUDE, I MEAN, AS SOON AS THE CLOSE DOING THE REOPENING OF THE POSITION, IT SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING RIGHT IN THE BOTTOM.
AND THEN IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU'VE DONE ON BIAS SELECTION PROCESS, THAT'S WHERE WE DECIDE WE WANT THIS, UH, YOU KNOW, COMMISSION TO BE A PART OF THAT CANDIDATES FROM THE COMMUNITY.
I THINK YOU GOTTA, YOU GOTTA MAKE A QUANTITATIVE OKAY.
ERIC, WHAT DID YOU SAY? WHAT DID YOU, ERIC STEVENS SAYS THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDS AND ADVISES SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE REOPENING INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING, RIGHT? HER PROCESS BEDDING, UM, RUBBERS MIL REPRESENTATIVES, CITIZENS SPECIFICALLY,
[02:15:01]
SPECIFICALLY.WELL WE W WE NEED TO REVISIT THAT PARAGRAPH ABOVE THAT, DAN.
I MEAN, SO I JUST THINK WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE, WHO YOU WANT TO INCLUDE IN THE HIRING PROCESS.
WELL, I WANT TO, I'M JUST SAYING MAYBE SOMEBODY FROM THE, WE HAVE, YEAH, WE HAVE THAT WRITTEN IN THERE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO PUT SPECIFIC NAMES.
WE WANT TO PUT SPECIFIC NAMES, BUT I THINK WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS THERE, WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVE THE ONE THIS CONDITION, RIGHT? I THINK THAT SPECIFICALLY NOW, YEAH, WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE A SPECIFIC NAME, JUST REPRESENTATION.
WE HAVE A BULLET FOR THAT, THE THIRD BULLET DOWN.
SO THE DIVERSE INTERVIEW AND HIRING COMMITTEE WITH REPRESENTATION FROM THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZENS, AFRICAN MISSION AND DIVERSE REPRESENTATION FROM THE COMMUNITY.
SO DO WE REALLY NEED THEN THE FIRST SUB BOOK TO TRY? I MEAN, I, WASN'T GOING TO BE TRANSPARENT.
WE HAVE THE REPRESENTATION FROM THE CULTURE OF DIVERSITY, UM, YOU KNOW, SINCE THE X COMMISSION AND SOME OF THEM THAT PRETTY MUCH, WE STILL TELL HER THAT FIRST BULLET WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A TRANSPARENT, TRANSPARENT PROCESS.
SO MAYBE WE JUST DELETE THAT AND, UM, I DON'T THINK WE'LL LEAVE UNLESS THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE WE WANT TO INCLUDE AND I THINK WE'VE COVERED IT.
I MEAN, THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION, RIGHT? YOU WOULD HAVE THAT FIRST, UM, PAIR RIGHT UP UNDER WHAT THE COMMISSIONER RECOMMENDS.
THIS THING ABOUT THE PUBLIC HOLISTIC COMMUNITY CAN BE INVOLVED AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET OTHERS AND ASK QUESTIONS.
I'M NOT REALLY, I'M NOT SURE THE EVENTS IT MIGHT BE, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
SO ALL OF THE INTERVIEWS WERE PUBLIC.
SO THE CITY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE.
UM, CAUSE THEY WERE PUBLIC, BUT THEY COULD NOT ASK QUESTIONS, BUT THEY COULD NOT ASK FOR, I DIDN'T PARTICIPATE.
THEY WERE JUST THERE TO LISTEN.
SO I THINK ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT THEY, YEAH, THE PROCESS THAT THEY USE, LIKE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON, ANYTIME THEY WERE HIRING A POSITION, THEY SEND THE RESUME OUT TO EVERYONE ON THE CAMPUS.
EVERYONE IS INVITED TO THE INTERVIEW AND EVERYONE IS INVITED TO ASK QUESTIONS OF THE INTERVIEWEE.
IT'S A CLEAR, TRANSPARENT PROCESS.
HONESTLY, THAT PUBLIC FORUM, IT, I THINK THAT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE ADVERTISEMENT NECESSARILY, OR, YOU KNOW, MORE PEOPLE KNOWING THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING.
I DO THINK FRED HAD PUT, UM, FOR THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE THAT THERE.
SO WE HAD CHANGED THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDS, BUT ABOVE THAT WE HAVE THE COMMISSION ALSO REQUESTS.
I WOULD JUST CHANGE THAT REQUEST TO RECOMMEND, WELL, WE'RE TAKING THAT OUT THOUGH.
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS PARAGRAPH.
THE GIVEN THE CAUTION DIVERSITY SAYS NEXT RIGHT BEFORE THE RECOMMENDATIONS, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO TAKE OUT THAT LAST SENTENCE.
THAT'S A DIFFERENT REQUEST THAT YOU RECONSIDER.
CAUSE I BELIEVE HE'S, HE'S MOVED ON FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD NOW.
SO ARE WE SAYING TO TAKE OUT THE FIRST BULLET BECAUSE I THINK DEFINING STAKEHOLDERS AS ANY PERSON WITH AN INTEREST OR CONCERN, AND I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T REALLY LIKE THAT PARAGRAPH.
CAUSE LIKE THE TRANSPARENT RECRUITMENT PROCESS PART, BUT I LIKE THE WORDS
[02:20:02]
IT'S I THINK IT'S REDUNDANT.IT'S REDUNDANT BECAUSE IF WE DON'T COMPLETE WHAT I'M SAYING.
SO ARE WE SAYING BY HAVING REPRESENTATION FROM THIS CONDITION IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC, ISN'T THAT ACTUALLY READING THE DESIRE TO HAVE A TRANSPARENT RECRUITING PROCESS? WE'RE JUST BEING SPECIFIC AS TO WHAT THAT IS.
SO IT IS REDUNDANT BECAUSE INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING THE GENERIC, WE WANT A TRANSPARENT, WHATEVER THEY MAKE.
WELL, WHAT IT MEANS IS WE WANT SOMEONE FROM THIS COMMISSION AND SOMEBODY FROM THE COMMUNITY.
SO WE WOULD ADDRESS, I MOVED IT UP TO THE TOP.
I JUST RECOMMENDED ADVISERS AT THE REOPENING OF THE POSITION INCLUDED TRANSPARENT RECRUITMENT PROCESS, WHICH INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING.
AND THEN TAKE OUT THE FIRST ONE.
THAT MAKES SENSE TO IN GROUP, PROJECT IN SCHOOL.
THAT, THAT SENTENCE RIGHT BEFORE THE FOLLOWING.
I ADDED THE TRANSPARENT THERE.
THE COMMISSIONER RECOMMENDS AND ADVISES THAT THE REOPENING OF THE POSITION INCLUDE A TRANSPARENT RECRUITMENT PROCESS, WHICH INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING THAT WE JUST TOOK OUT THE FIRST BULLET ALL THE WAY AT THE BOTTOM AT THE END.
IT'S EASIER ON HERE BECAUSE IT'S EDITING IN REAL TIME.
SO WE'RE GOOD WITH THE PUBLIC FORUM.
A DIVERSE INTERVIEW AT HIRING COMMITTEE.
SO THE THIRD BULLET OPPONENT FOR A CONSISTENT EMPIRE SYSTEM ALIGNED TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE POSITION CAUTION AND DIVERSITY COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO AID THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE PROCESS.
UM, SECOND SENTENCE, THE SECOND SENTENCE, THEIR RESUMES WERE SHARED PUBLICLY, BUT THE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE THERE.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE PROCESS, IT WASN'T AN OPEN AND TRANSPARENT AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN.
BUT WHAT DO WE MEAN BY SAY HERE THE CITY AND THE PROSTITUTE SHOULD THAT IT HAS A DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE AND IS EQUITABLE.
WHAT DO WE MEAN? WOULDN'T WE BE AND WE PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT IT HAS A DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE AND IS ACCURATE.
SO I JUST, I THINK WE CAN TAKE THE WORD DIVERSE OUT PERSONALLY, LOOK AT EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE BECAUSE I THINK HONESTLY I THINK WE USE THE WORD DIVERSE TOO MUCH AND WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT EQUITY AND INCLUSIVITY.
I WOULD TAKE OUT THAT WHOLE MIDDLE SENTENCE AND JUST LEAVE, IMPLEMENT A FAIR, CONSISTENT, UNBIASED INTERVIEW PROCESS IN WHICH INCLUDES A SCORING AND POINT BASED RANKING SYSTEM COMPLIANT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE POSITION
I WOULD TAKE OUT THAT MIDDLE SENTENCE AND CALL IT A DAY.
TAKE OUT THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY CITIZEN.
THE SCORING SYSTEM SHOULD BE SHARED PUBLICLY ALONG WITH THE REST OF MY FIRST STARTED WRITING PAPERS FOR, YEAH.
KNOW WHAT SORT OF A SCORING QUITE TO A RESUME SCRUB INITIALLY OR I DON'T KNOW.
HOW THEY SCORE RANK AND MIGHT BE ANOTHER ASK IS A DOCUMENTED PROCESS OF PUBLIC TEXAS.
DID YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT THE BASIS WAS? BECAUSE IF YOU LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, LIKE HAVING A BACHELOR'S WHERE YOU, RIGHT.
IT SHOULD BE LIKE, WELL WE HAVE MASS, RIGHT? YOU GET SO MANY POINTS FOR THAT.
WHEN YOU SEE THAT EXAMPLE, RIGHT.
YOU HAD THIS EXPERIENCE, WE GET A CERTAIN SCORE AND BASED, I KNOW IT'S SORT OF SUBJECTIVE.
[02:25:01]
NUMBER.AND IS THAT SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE BACHELOR HAD TO BE IN? SO IF YOU HAVE A BACHELOR'S IN CAKE MAKING, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE SAME SCORE AS SOMEBODY THAT HAS A BACHELOR'S IN PUBLIC ADMIN OR, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? HOLD ON 1, 1, 1 DISCUSSION AT A TIME.
SO WE'RE DOCUMENTED A AND I FORGOT WHAT WE SAID.
WE WERE JUST TAKING OUT THE MIDDLE SENTENCE AND TOOK THAT OUT A CLEARLY STANDARDIZE A STANDARD.
WELL, WELL, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW IS WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS.
WELL, NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROCESS WAS, RIGHT? IT'S A PROCESS.
WHAT IS IT PUBLISHED? PUBLIC COULD BE PUBLISHED AND PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED PROCEDURE PROCESS, HIRING PROCESS.
UM, WELL THAT'S WHAT WE'RE, WE'RE SAYING.
THAT INCLUDES, UM, H
WHEN YOU SAY UNBIASED INTERVIEW, CAN YOU SAY FAIR, CONSISTENT FOR THAT'S A BUNCH OF STUFF, BUT FAIR, UNBIASED INTERVIEWING PROCESS, WHICH IS PUBLIC DOCUMENT.
CAN WE JUST SAY I'M BIASED? CAN WE JUST SAY THAT I'M BIASED INTERVIEWING PROCESS IS FAIR AND I'M BIASED TO ME KIND OF MEANS THE SAME THING.
I'M JUST SAYING WHAT WE NEED IS A A AND JUST EXPLORING A SCORING CRITERIA.
RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SEE THE SCORING CRITERIA, YOU KNOW, THE HIRING PROCESS, THE HIRING PROCESS, THAT INCLUDES THE SCORING.
SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE A DOCUMENTED, PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED SCORING AND WHAT BANKS.
SO WE'RE JUST SAYING REWORD WHAT WE HAVE.
SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THE SCORE, HOW YOU UNDERSCORE AND IT'S, WHICH MEANS IT SHOULDN'T BE BIASED ANYWAY.
IF IT'S, IF YOU HAVE, WELL, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY, BUT, BUT IN ORDER FOR IT TO NOT BE BIASED, YOU FIRST HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT BIAS IS.
SO HOW ARE WE DEFINING WHERE THERE IS BOTTLES TOO? SO WELL, WE DEFINE UNCONSCIOUS BIAS EARLIER IN THE PARAGRAPH.
ON THE FIRST PAGE, YOU HAVE A DOCUMENTED, PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED SCORING PROCESS.
DOES THAT EQUAL IF IT'S CREATED PROPERLY BY SOMEONE WHO HAS AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT AN UNBIASED HIRING PROCESS LOOKS LIKE, LIKE YOLANDA COULD CREATE A DOCUMENT BECAUSE AS AN HR PROFESSIONAL, THAT'S WHAT SHE'S DONE.
SO, BUT IF YOU WERE DEALING WITH THE MEMBERS, A, B AND C D WHO THINK THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS NOT BIASED, YOU KNOW? CAUSE THEY, THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T THINK WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH BIAS MAYBE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY NEVER REALLY HAD A, A DOCUMENTED SCORING CRITERIA OR PROCESS.
BUT ONCE YOU PUT THAT IN PLACE, NOW THOSE SHOULD IN TURN, MINIMIZE OR MITIGATE POTENTIAL BIASES.
IF YOU HAVE THAT SCORING CRITERIA.
AND IF IT'S NOT SKEWED, CAUSE WE KNOW, RIGHT.
SO WE NEED AN EXTERNAL PARTY TO CREATE THE DOCUMENT.
THAT'S WHAT WE DON'T, WE CAN'T CLEARLY WE CAN'T BE CREATED FROM THE INSIDE AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
WELL, I GOT TO PICK AND CREATE IT, BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED AT LEAST, RIGHT.
I MEAN, KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THEY CAN CREATE PROCESS AND THEY SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY US OR OTHERS, BUT HERE'S THE THING.
SEE, WE ASKED THAT IT BE ALIGNED TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE POSITION.
SO IF IT'S ALIGNED TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE POSITION, THEN IT SHOULD ELIMINATE THE BIAS BECAUSE THAT'S, YOU'RE CHECKING OFF POINTS, ALIGN TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE POSITION.
AND WE HAVE NOW IMPLEMENTED CONSISTENT NON-BIASED PUBLICLY DOCUMENTED INTERVIEW PROCESS, WHICH INCLUDES SCORING AND POINT BASE RATING RANKING SYSTEM ALIGNED TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE POSITION.
[02:30:01]
THE SCORING SYSTEMS SHOULD BE SHARED PUBLICLY ALONG WITH COMMENTS.BUT I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY SUFFICIENT AND A RECOMMENDATION, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT AND DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH IT, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION AND NOT ADD TOO MUCH EXTRA STUFF TO IT.
BUT JUST, THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATION.
NOW, DO YOU WANT TO JUST BACK, YOU KNOW, IT'S ON PAPER, IT'S A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION.
IT'S DEFINITELY MADE IT, SO, OKAY.
WE GOOD? ARE WE GOOD WITH THAT FIRST PARAGRAPH? THE FIRST WE GOOD WITH THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ON THE SECOND PAGE.
ANYTHING ELSE? WE'RE GOOD WITH THIS FINAL DOCUMENT.
THAT CHAIR IT'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED THE SECOND LAST COLUMN VOTES.
DO YOU NEED UNANIMOUSLY PASSES THAT WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE RECOMMENDATION AS WRITTEN.
WAS THAT OUR LAST ITEM OF BUSINESS? CD MANAGER SEARCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DO BUSINESS? YES.
THAT WAS THE LAST ITEM, BUT YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FOR ITEM NUMBER SEVEN ON THE AGENDA.
OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? THE ONE THAT YOU'RE PULLING UP, THE ONE THAT SAID WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT, OKAY.
THERE'S TWO VERSIONS OF IT GOING.
THAT'S THE ONE I SENT, THIS IS THE CITY ONE ENDED UP NOT HAPPENING.
SO WE HAVE, UM, WHAT WAS IT? ANNOUNCEMENT.
IS THAT THE LAST THING WHILE A GERMAN? NO.
W THE ONE, WHEN DID I SIT BACK THE ROAD? THIS ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? NO COMMENTS.
ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS WE WERE WORKING ON? T-SHIRTS I'VE NOT HEARD.
SARAH, IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, YOU BROUGHT IT UP.
SHE'S LIKE, LOOK, Y'ALL SARAH, DO WE GET, DO WE GET A FUCK? DID WE GET A COMMISSION BROCHURE FOR THE COMMISSION? NO.
SO THE ONE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, NO, WE DIDN'T.
I THOUGHT THAT WE REQUESTED ONE.
I THINK SHE, UH, SHE SENT ME AN EMAIL BACK AND ASKED ME WHAT I, UM, SPECIFY AND I NEVER RESPONDED.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN HELP US WITH? I CAN HELP WITH, I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO BE IN IT.
CAN WE JUST PULL, LIKE WHAT'S ON OUR WEBSITE ABOUT THIS.
IT'S JUST A BASIC DOCUMENT THAT GIVES PEOPLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMMISSION.
PROBABLY THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ON THE WEBSITE, I THINK WOULD BE GOOD.
AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN JUST INCLUDE SOME PICTURES FROM, UM, FROM SOME OF THE EVENTS, SOME OF THE FARMS AND THINGS.
ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE.
AND SINCE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BOOTH WHERE YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE HER INFORMATION OUT ABOUT THE COMMISSION.
ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? ANY FINAL COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.
AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL IN THE TASK MEETING NEXT WEEK.
AND THE MEETING IS FORMALLY ADJOURNED.
