ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR TO APPROVE THE MINUTES PENDING THE, THE CHA THE MODIFICATIONS AS NOTED.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY CITIZENS WITH US TONIGHT, SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO OLD BUSINESS.
DO WE HAVE, UH, ANY UPDATE OR REPORT FOR THE CITIZENS COMPLAINT REVIEW BOARD? RIGHT.
THERE'S, THERE'S NO, UH, UPDATES.
WE'VE NOT HAD ANY MEETINGS SINCE OUR, UH, SINCE OUR LAST, BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY CCR B C, CCR B PLANNING MEETINGS SINCE OUR LAST, UM, COMMISSION MEETING.
SO, UH, I GUESS THE ONLY UPDATE IS THAT, UH, WE ARE, UH, TARGETING, UH, TO HAVE A, A FOLLOW ON MEETING, UM, MID-JANUARY.
WE'RE WORKING ON SOME DATES RIGHT NOW, UH, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO, AGAIN, HAVE A, A MEETING, UH, SOMETIME MID DELAYED JANUARY TO FINISH, UH, UH, PUTTING TOGETHER THE, UH, I GUESS THE PACKAGE, IF YOU WILL, FOR THE CCC RRB PROCESS.
SO, UM, SO THAT'S, AGAIN, THAT'S WHERE WE STAND AT THIS AT THIS TIME.
SO AFTER OUR LAST COMMISSION MEETING, THERE WAS ANOTHER, UM, ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE SUPERINTENDENT, UH, MR. PHOENIX.
AND, UM, HIS ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT.
SO, MS. STEGEL IS GOING TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE AS TODAY.
SHE ACTUALLY HAD A CHANCE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.
SO I'M GOING TO TURN OVER TO HER.
[00:05:01]
HI.SO I SPOKE TO MS. TERESA THIS MORNING AND, UM, THAT IS THE SUPERINTENDENT'S ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT.
AND SHE SAID THAT SHE BELIEVES THE SUPERINTENDENT WILL BE FINE WITH US WORKING DIRECTLY WITH SROS.
SHE DID GIVE ME A CONTACT, UM, THE SECURITY DIRECTOR AND TO MAKE SURE THAT HE WAS ON BOARD WITH THAT PLAN.
UM, AND IF HE WANTED US TO WORK WITH HIM OR JUST CONTINUE WITH THE SROS, I LEFT HIM A MESSAGE WAITING TO HEAR BACK.
BUT I THINK WE'LL BE FINE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SROS NEXT WEEK.
SO THE NEXT STEP IS MEETING WITH THE SROS.
AND WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR THAT? ACTUALLY NEXT WEEK, UM, MR. RICHARDSON IS GOING TO CONTACT THEM TO SCHEDULE A MEETING.
AM I CORRECT, MR. RICHARDSON? CORRECT.
HAVE WE SET A DATE YET? NO, NO DATE HAS BEEN SET YET UNTIL WE CONTACT THEM AND TALK TO THEM.
THAT WAS THE CONSENSUS AMONGST THE GROUP TO DO THAT.
BUT IF THERE ARE ANY SUGGESTIONS, UM, THIS TASK GROUP WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT.
AND THEN THE MEETING WITH THE SROS IS JUST TO KIND OF BRING THEM IN THE LOOP IN TERMS OF WHAT WILL BE COVERED.
CAUSE WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED THAT, OR ARE WE SEEKING INPUT FROM THEM? WE'RE GONNA SEEK INPUT FROM THEM.
SO IT'S NOT US DICTATING THE SUBJECT TO THEM.
IT'S MORE OF US WORKING TOGETHER.
CAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE A PLAN THAT THEY DO FOR THE, FOR THE STUDENTS, PERIOD.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PARTNER WITH THEM AND ADD SOMETHING ELSE TO IT.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST TO THE, UM, EDUCATION COMMITTEE, IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MATTHEW HOUSE IN THE LOOP.
UM, HE IS THE DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION FOR HUBER HEIGHT CITY SCHOOLS, AND HE HAS STATED THAT THEY WANT TO WORK WITH THIS COMMISSION.
SO HE'S SOMEBODY THAT WILL PUSH FOR YOU FROM THE END INSIDE.
SO, UM, H O U S H IS HIS LAST NAME.
UM, DO YOU HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL INFORMATION? YES, I DO.
I CAN COPY COPY YOU IN ON HIS INFORMATION.
IF YOU DON'T MIND COPYING, UM, THE THREE OF US AND, UM, HIS PURVIS AS WELL.
AND YOU WANNA BE COPIED AS WELL? I HAVE HIS INFORMATION COPIED THOUGH.
BUT HE'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL WITH OUR, ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE SCHOOLS IN TERMS OF LIKE THE ESSAY CONTEST AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE SHOW.
THAT'S AN EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT THOUGHT.
UM, THE OTHER THING TO THINK ABOUT AS WE'RE PLANNING IS, I KNOW IN OUR LAST MEETING WE TALKED ABOUT INCENTIVES FOR GETTING THE STUDENTS THERE.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T WANT TO FORGET ABOUT BECAUSE THAT WOULD PROBABLY, UM, REQUIRE FUNDING.
SO WE NEED TO GET AHEAD OF THAT SO WE CAN GET THAT ON TIME.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR EDUCATION? NO, THAT IS ALL.
SO MLK DAY IS JANUARY 16TH, UM, 2023.
UM, WE ARE GOING TO START, WE'RE GOING TO GATHER AT THE TRACK.
SO, HUBER HEIGHT CITY SCHOOLS HAS AGREED TO PARTNER WITH US ON THIS INITIATIVE.
UM, THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE WHOLE DAY.
SO WE, WE WON'T HAVE AN EXPENSE FOR THIS, UM, WHICH IS GREAT, BECAUSE WHEN I SAW THAT INVOICE, I WAS LIKE, WHOA,
SO WE APPRECIATE THAT PARTNERSHIP.
UM, SO WE'LL GATHER AT THE TRACK AT NINE 30, START THE WALK AT 10, AND THEN THE PROGRAM, UM, WILL BE AT 11 O'CLOCK.
THE PROGRAM SHOULD BE DONE BY 1215, JUST LIKE BEFORE.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE LENGTHY, UM, AT ALL.
SO, UM, WE'LL BE ABLE TO WRAP THE, WRAP THE PROGRAM UP WITHIN AN HOUR.
UM, I AM MEETING WITH, UM, ANDREA QUISENBERRY, WHO'S THE DIRECTOR OF THE CULTURE AND EQUITY COMMITTEE AT WAYNE.
SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF THAT MEETING, UM, I, I'M ACTUALLY MEETING WITH HER TOMORROW, BUT WE'RE GOING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF PULL THE KIDS TOGETHER.
SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF THAT, LET ME KNOW.
UM, BUT THEY'RE EXCITED AT WAYNE.
THEY'RE EXCITED IN THE DISTRICT
[00:10:01]
TO PARTNER WITH US.THEY THINK IT'S A GREAT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS AND THE CITY.
UM, AND THIS IS A GREAT START.
HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ALSO OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL REMEMBER LAST YEAR'S PROGRAM, BUT, UM, IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE OR SUGGEST, YOU CAN KIND OF LET ME KNOW NOW.
UM, BUT THAT WAS LAST YEAR'S PROGRAM.
I WANT TO GET THE INPUT FROM THE KIDS TO KIND OF SEE MAYBE WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO.
UM, AND THEN IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU ALL WANT TO DO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO INSERT YOURSELF ON THE PROGRAM, LET ME KNOW.
WE ARE GONNA NEED A MISTRESS OR MASTER OF CEREMONIES.
UM, WANDA, DO WE KNOW HOW, UM, HOW ARE THEY GONNA HELP PROMOTE MARKET? SO WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION YET WITH, THEY HAVE A COPY OF THE FLYER.
SO, UM, MATTHEW SAID HE WAS GOING TO SEE ABOUT GETTING IT ON THE CITY WEBSITE.
AND THEN I CAN TALK TO ANDREA TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET FLYERS IN THE STUDENT'S HANDS.
UM, PUT IT ON THE SCHOOL'S FACEBOOK PAGE.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT TOMORROW.
AND THEN CAN THEY SEND IT OUT ON THE LITTLE GOOGLE THING? YOU KNOW, THE TEXT ALERT OH, THING THAT THEY SEND TO ALL THE PARENTS.
I DON'T GET THOSE ALERTS ANYMORE.
UM, AND I THINK WE DEFINITELY WANNA PUT SOME OF THESE FLYERS AT THE Y MAYBE REACH OUT TO THEM TO HAVE THEM HELP PROMOTE.
ALSO, WE'RE GONNA BE WALKING, SO THERE'S A CONNECTION TO HELP ALSO.
UM, SO HE SAID GOOGLE ALERTS SCHOOL FACEBOOK PAGE.
SO HE SAID THE SCHOOL WEBSITE.
AND THEN WHAT ELSE DID I, DID I MISSING? IT WOULD BE GREAT IF, IF THEIR TEACHERS COULD OFFER AN INCENTIVE AS WELL FOR BEING THERE.
NATIONAL HONORS SOCIETY STUDENT COUNCIL.
THEY, THEY, I THINK THEY BOTH, WELL, I KNOW NATIONAL HONORS SOCIETY, THEY NEED THE HOURS FOR SURE.
BUT EVEN IF THEY STUDENTS WHO AREN'T PART OF A GROUP, IF THEY COULD OFFER SOME SORT OF INCENTIVE, BUT BE IT AN EXTRA, AS AN EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL INCENTIVE FOR SHOWING UP.
AND SARAH, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH NOTICE IS NEEDED TO GET THIS MV WATER BILL THIS PAST? HAS IT, AND MAYBE I CAN STILL JUST TAKE SOME FLYERS OVER THERE TO THE DIFFERENT, LIKE THE TAX OFFICE, THE WATER COMPANY.
THEY'RE ALL, THEY'RE ALL ON THE DIGITAL BOARDS, SO OKAY.
WHEN PEOPLE GO IN THERE, THEY SEE THOSE.
SO THEY'RE, SO THEY'LL SEE THAT AT THE WATER.
OH, OUR, THESE FIRES WILL BE, YEAH, THEY'RE ON THE DIGITAL BOARD.
OH, IT LOOKS DIFFERENT JUST BECAUSE OF THE FORMAT OF THAT FIRE.
BUT RHONDA AND I HAD WORKED OUT THE LOOK, SO THERE'S ONE AT THE WATER DEPARTMENT, HUH? THERE'S ONE AT THE WATER DEPARTMENT.
THERE'S A DIGITAL BOARD OVER THERE.
IT'S ON OUR FACEBOOK AS AN EVENT.
SO ANYBODY FROM THE BOARD AND COMMISSION CAN SHARE THAT.
AND THEN, UM, IT'S ON THE CALENDAR AND THE NEWS ALERT.
IF WE CAN ALL DESIGNATE A PLACE THAT WE WILL DROP OFF FLYERS THAT WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING FLYERS.
THAT'S WHAT I'M REALLY LIKE FOR US TO DO.
UM, I KNOW I CAN TAKE SOME TO THE Y OR ANY OTHER PLACES THAT WE
[00:15:01]
WANT TO DESIGNATE HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.UM, I HAVE KROGER RA GRIND, GET AIR ELSE A STORE.
THE FOOD PLACES SAID I NEEDED STYLE.
I'LL EL TOS AND I WILL GO TO, UM, NEW HEIGHTS.
INVITE UHHUH, THE BARBERSHOP AND BOXING GYM AND THE BARBERSHOP.
YEAH, I'LL THOSE PLACES OVER THERE.
I'LL GO TO ALL THE OTHER PLACES THAT YOU GUYS DIDN'T GO TO.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT PLACES LIKE PANERA AND STARBUCKS THAT HAVE THE COMMUNITY AWARDS THAT YOU CAN POST THE FLYER ON THERE TOO.
WELL, SINCE HE'S GOING TO ALL THOSE OTHER PLACES.
I'M EXAGGERATING A BIT NOWADAYS.
HOW MANY DO WE ANTICIPATE? WE GOT 150.
SO I MEAN WE'RE, IT'S, I'VE PUSHED IT OUT ON FACEBOOK ON ALL OF THE DIGITAL THAT EVERYTHING.
THE REALISTS, THE EVERY HUBER HEIGHTS PLATFORM THERE IS THE FLYER IS THERE.
WHAT ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD FACEBOOK PAGES TOO? NEIGHBORHOOD PAGE.
YEAH, WE'LL MAKE SURE AND CITY YOU GOT THAT NEEDS TO PUT IT ON THEIR, THEIR PAGES AS WELL.
IT NEEDS TO GO ON THEIR PAGES.
I'LL SEND A LINK TO THE, THE CHURCHES DO THOUGH THE, UM, DOES THE CHAMBER GET YES.
THEY, THE CHAMBER DIDN'T RECEIVE IT AS WELL? THEY DID? OKAY.
SO I'LL EMAIL IT OUT TO CHURCHES.
AND I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK, YOU KNOW, IN MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE INCLUSIVE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE ELECTRONIC SOURCES.
AND THEN ALSO SURROUNDING CITIES WHO MAY NOT BE DOING ANYTHING.
LET'S MAKE SURE TROTWOOD HAS IT.
I ALREADY SENT IT TO BEAVER CREEK.
UM, I SENT IT TO THE D EI COLLABORATIVE SO THEY COULD SEND IT OUT TO THEIR CITIES.
SO IT'S, IT'S BEEN CIRCULATING AND IT'S BEEN PICKED UP BY MEDIA AS WELL.
COULD YOU, SARAH? I WORK HARD FOR YOU GUYS.
ANYTHING ELSE? LK DAY? MM-HMM.
RHONDA, WHEN IS THAT MEETING? SO, UH, SHE'S GOTTA EMAIL ME BACK, BUT SHE SAID SHE'S AVAILABLE TOMORROW.
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT AFTER SCHOOL BECAUSE KIDS DON'T LIKE TO STAY ON FRIDAY AFTER SCHOOL.
SO AS SOON AS I KNOW, I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
SO WHAT WOULD, WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM THE COMMISSION ON THAT DAY? SO, THE MAIN THING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW RIGHT NOW IS WHERE WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO, WHAT CONTRIBUTION WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO MAKE TO THE PROGRAM? DO YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR A SPEAKER? UM, DO YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS? BECAUSE I KNOW LAST YEAR WE SHOWED THAT I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH.
DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT WE COULD DO THIS YEAR? UM, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT THAT PROGRAM MADE LAST YEAR, AND IT WAS A SHORT PROGRAM.
UM, SO WE WANT TO DO THE SAME THIS YEAR.
WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO BE THE MISTRESS OR MASTRESS MASTER OF CEREMONIES? SHE'S DOESN'T NEED, DON'T LOOK OVER.
UM, DO WE WANT IT TO BE SOMEONE FROM THE COMMISSION? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE IS WE WE'RE ENGAGING THE YOUTH, CORRECT? MM-HMM.
[00:20:03]
IF WE COULD, YOU KNOW, HAVE THEM.WELL, NOT, WELL MC MAY BE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE TOO MUCH, BUT DO A WELCOME, BE PART OF THE REFLECTION, YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE INVOLVING THEM THIS YEAR.
SO INSERTING THEM IN THE PROGRAM AT CERTAIN POINTS.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE MC GROUP.
OR RECOMMEND THAT I SHOULD SAY.
YEAH, I THINK DEFINITELY GIVE THEM SOME THINGS AND THEY MIGHT HAVE, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT THEY'RE ALREADY GOOD AT THAT, THAT THEY BRING.
AND THAT'S WHAT MS. UH, QUISENBERRY WAS SAYING.
THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS WHO ARE USED TO SPEAKING AND PARTICIPATING IN STUFF ALREADY.
SO, UM, SHE WAS GONNA BRING THOSE STUDENTS TO THE MEETING.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CALL TO ACTION INTEGRATED, GIVEN BY, I DON'T KNOW THAT PART.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THIS? WHAT DO, HOW, YOU KNOW, TO MOVE FORWARD? WE'RE ALL CALLED TO DO SOMETHING.
AND THAT MAY BE A NICE, MAYBE A TOPIC FOR THE YOUTH.
MAYBE WE COULD HAVE A COUPLE YOUNG PEOPLE GIVE A BRIEF TALK ON WHAT A CALL TO ACTION WOULD BE FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE.
UM, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR LAVERA FLOYD HAVE SOME TYPE OF CONTRIBUTION MM-HMM.
UM, SIMPLY BECAUSE, I MEAN, SHE WAS AROUND DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS TIME.
SHE HAS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE MM-HMM.
SO WHY DON'T, WHEN YOU, YOU'RE GONNA MEET WITH THE STUDENTS, WHEN ARE THEY PART OF THE MEETING? TOMORROW ALSO, RIGHT? SHE SAID TOMORROW, UM, SHE DIDN'T GIMME A TIME LAST WE TALKED.
SHE WAS GONNA THANK YOU THE TIME.
SO HOPEFULLY SHE'LL CALL ME EARLY OR TEXT ME, EMAIL ME EARLY.
SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME THINGS THAT COME OUT OF THAT MEETING WITH THEM THAT SHOW UP THAT CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM.
AND THEN THAT KIND OF GIVES US A FOUNDATION OF WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO FROM THERE.
BUT I WOULD SAY EVERYBODY BE ON, UM, ALERTS TO BE TAPPED
AND SO THIS IS ACTUALLY, NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA PUT YOU INTO THE MC POSITION.
THAT'S WHY I KIND OF HAVE THAT LITTLE BREAK IN THERE CUZ WE KIND OF NEED TO REFRESH FOR A MINUTE.
GO IN THERE, YOU KNOW, AND GATHER.
UM, I AM GONNA ASK THE SCHOOL TO PROVIDE SOME HOT COFFEE OR HOT CHOCOLATE AT LEAST THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM? THE CAN NOT THE CANISTERS.
WHAT DO YOU CALL THE, UH, YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY CALL, BUT, SO PEOPLE CAN AT LEAST WARM UP WHEN THEY COME IN.
AND WE'RE GONNA BE THE EXPENSE OF IT.
AND WE'RE GONNA BE IN THE, IS IT THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER? THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
UM, ONE THING I DID THINK ABOUT IS THE GENTLEMAN WHO DID THE T-SHIRTS, UM, WHAT IS HIS NAME? THINK OF HIS NAME, BUT IF WE WANTED TO MAYBE HAVE HIM THERE WITH SOME M L K T-SHIRTS.
UM, DRAWING A BLANK ON HIS NAME RIGHT NOW.
I'VE GOT HIM IN MY PHONE AS THE T-SHIRT GUY.
I JUST CAN'T RIGHT NOW, THINK OF HIS NAME.
UM, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN, LIKE OUR CITIZENS AND PEOPLE COME TO MEETINGS AND OFFER THEIR INPUT, RIGHT.
BECAUSE WE HADN'T EVEN REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THIS AT THE SCHOOL UNTIL ANDDO BROUGHT IT UP.
[00:25:01]
OUR COMMUNITY TO COME TO MEETINGS OR JUST, YOU KNOW, SHARE THEIR IDEAS AND THOUGHTS WITH US, BECAUSE THIS IS, THESE ARE COMMUNITY EVENTS.SO I'M REALLY GLAD THAT THAT CAME THROUGH.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING THEY WANT TO DO ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
UM, SO WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION AND MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
I DID PUT THIS ON THE CALENDAR BECAUSE, I MEAN, ON THE AGENDA, BECAUSE WE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT IT LAST, LAST MONTH IN TERMS OF GETTING A DATE ON THE CALENDAR FOR US TO MEET, TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PLANS BECAUSE IT IS COMING UP VERY, VERY QUICKLY.
SO WE NEED TO SCHEDULE A MEETING DATE WHERE WE WILL JUST FOCUS ON THIS, THE JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION IN THE MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
I THINK THAT WE'VE ALL, UM, PRETTY MUCH WE'VE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT NOT OFFERING AS MANY OR DOING AS MANY EVENTS DURING THAT ONE WEEK AND SPREADING SOME THINGS OUT.
BUT I THINK WE STILL LANDED ON DOING THE, BOTH THOSE CELEBRATIONS AND AN EDUCATION FORUM MM-HMM.
SO WE NEED TO START PLANNING THAT.
SO WE WILL NEED TO SET A DATE TO START ON THAT.
WHO WAS IT? WAS IT RHONDA? WAS IT YOU? THAT WAS, WHO WAS TASKY TASK LEADER FOR THAT? WAS IT YOU? YEAH.
SO ARE YOU BOTH GONNA BE LEADING THAT UP AGAIN? YEAH, THIS YEAR IT'S GONNA BE A WHOLE TASK GROUP TO WORK ON.
BUT THERE'LL BE A TASK GROUP AND THEY THESE TO BE THE KEY PEOPLE.
WELL SINCE WE DID IT AND THERE'S CONTINUITY.
SO UNLESS THERE'S, IS ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED IN, WE ALL GONNA BE PART PLANNING, RIGHT? ARE YOU LOOKING AT HAVING A MEETING, UM, KIND A SEPARATE MEETING ASIDE FROM THIS MEETING TO FOCUS SPECIFICALLY ON THIS? OR IS IT TAKING ONE OF THESE MEETINGS AND USING THAT TIME TO DO PLANNING? OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH? I'M JUST CURIOUS IS NOW OBVIOUSLY WE PROBABLY NEED TO GET STARTED HERE IF IT'S IN JUNE, PROBABLY YES.
WELL, AFTER WE GET PAST THE K, MAYBE NEXT MONTH OR SO, AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, START HAVING THOSE, I GUESS THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
START LOCKING DOWN CERTAIN, UM, YOU KNOW, LOCKING DOWN CERTAIN THINGS.
BUT YEAH, I THINK THESE TASK MEETINGS, I'M NOT MISTAKEN, ARE TAKING PLACE OF THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT WE HAD BEFORE, CORRECT? MM-HMM.
SO YEAH, SO DEFINITELY NEXT MONTH FOR SURE, NO LATER THAN NEXT MONTH.
DO WE WANT TO JUST FOCUS ON THAT NOW? NEXT MONTH WE WILL HAVE A VISITOR.
UM, I THINK I HAD MENTIONED THAT MR. JUNE FROM THE, FROM THE MIAMI VALLEY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION WAS GOING TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
SO HE'LL BE AT OUR NEXT MEETING IN FEBRUARY.
SO I WOULD SAY WE PROBABLY NEED TO PLAN A MEETING.
SO THIS WILL BE EVEN THERE THOUGH.
I GUESS WE WILL BE MAKING SOME DECISIONS IN THIS MEETING.
DO WE HAVE THIS DISCUSSION LAST MONTH THAT IT HAS TO BE AN OPEN MEETING? IF WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS, I THINK THAT WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING DECISIONS IN THAT INITIAL MEETING.
SO YEAH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO, YEAH.
SO YEAH, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CHECK THE CALENDAR AND SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE FOR A PUBLIC MEETING.
I THINK I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A SET MEETING FOR THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE, WHERE ARE THOUGHTS.
UM, SO, SO SARAH, CAN YOU CHECK ON AVAILABILITY FOR, UM, US TO HAVE THAT PUBLIC MEETING FOR THIS PLANNING FOR JUNETEENTH AND MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL FOR AFTER MLK DAY? SO MAYBE THE WEEK AFTER THE WEEK AS CALENDARS LOOK LIKE THE WEEK AFTER THE 16TH.
SO I KNOW WE HAVE A, UM, IT'S PROBABLY THAT FOLLOWING WEEK WE HAVE A CCRB OR WE HAVE EITHER THAT THIRD WEEK OR THE FOURTH WEEK WE HAVE A CCRB MEETING.
[00:30:01]
JUST NAILING DOWN THE, WE'RE JUST WHIPPING THE NAIL DOWN THE DATE.SO WE'LL JUST NEED TO MINDFUL OF THAT IF YOU WANT US TO BE HERE.
UM, SO THIS WILL BE A MEETING THAT EVERYONE WILL BE AT BECAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC, THIS IS OUR PUBLIC MEETING.
WE, WE NEED A QUO TO BE ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS.
CAN YOU CHECK THE WEEK OF, LIKE THE WEEK OF THE WEEK OF THE 23RD? YOU SAID SHE MIGHT HAVE A MEETING BY YEAH, MAYBE THE WEEK OF THE JUNETEENTH.
AND I WILL BE OUTTA TOWN ON A CASE ASSIGNMENT FROM THE 25TH THROUGH FEBRUARY THE 11TH.
WELL, UH, THAT PUTS US AT THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY.
WELL, I MEAN, I CAN, COULD WE ZOOM OR I MAY HAVE TO DESCRIBE BACK FOR THE MEETING.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S ALL PLANNED FOR THE AGENDA FOR THE FEBRUARY MEETING.
COULD WE AT LEAST HAVE SOME INITIAL, AT LEAST ALLOCATE SOME TIME DURING THAT, THAT MEETING IN FEBRUARY? RIGHT.
AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, PLAN SOME THINGS AND THEN IF WE NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING IN FEBRUARY, YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO THAT.
BUT AT LEAST HAVE THAT INITIAL CONVERSATION THEN, UM, ALLOCATE MAYBE, YOU KNOW, TWO HOURS
UH, WE COULD THOUGHT FOR THE, SO ARE WE PUSHING THIS INITIAL MEETING TO FEBRUARY OR SPENDING SOME TIME AS, UM, MR. STEVEN SUGGESTED DURING OUR COMMISSION MEETING SPEND TIME TO START PLANNING? YEAH, I WAS JUST THINKING IF WE CAN'T DO IT, WE GOT THE MLK THING COMING UP.
I KNOW WE, AGAIN, WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER MEETING THAT CCR I B I'M JUST SAYING THAT IN.
RIGHT? YOU SAID SOMEONE OF US HAD SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES RIGHT.
THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE AT OUR NEXT FEBRUARY MEETING, WHICH IS THAT FIRST WE CAN IN, YOU KNOW, FEBRUARY.
SO WE COULD AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, START HAVING, YOU KNOW, START SOCIALIZING SOME IDEAS THERE.
AND THEN WE CAN, FROM THAT MEETING, WE CAN SCHEDULE, IF WE CAN SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING MAYBE LATER THAT MONTH OR SOMETHING.
I'M JUST SAYING WE CAN AT LEAST SAY, HEY, WE'RE GONNA ALLOCATE SOME TIME DEFINITELY DURING OUR COMMISSION MEETING TO TALK ABOUT, UH, SOME OF THE PLANNING ACTIVITIES SAYING WE CAN'T, YOU KNOW, GET A SEPARATE DATE BY THE END OF JANUARY OR EARLY MM-HMM.
BUT WE HAVE TO, SINCE SHE'S LEADING, WE WOULD HAVE TO GET ALL HER COMMENTS NOTES BEFOREHAND.
CAUSE TARA WILL BE HERE, SHOULD'T BE BACK IN FEBRUARY, I THINK.
SO THAT'LL GIVE US STILL A FORM.
AND WE, NOT SURE ABOUT BOTTOM, BUT MM-HMM.
WE STILL HAVE ENOUGH TO MAKE DECISIONS, BUT WE JUST HAVE ALL HER NOTES SO WE CAN INCLUDE THEM IN THE PLANNING.
SO SHE'S LEADING THAT TWO DAYS OUT OF THE, THAT WEEK.
CUZ IT LOOKS LIKE BASED ON THE CALENDARS WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MEET UNTIL FEBRUARY ANYWAY.
SO WE'LL, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S ON THE AGENDA FOR FEBRUARY 2ND.
AND WE'LL PROBABLY ALSO HAVE, UM, RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THEN AS WELL.
SO ONE THING THAT WE DO NEED TO DEFINITELY SET, BECAUSE THIS IMPACTS THE OVERALL CITY CALENDAR EVENTS AND OTHER EVENTS, WHAT DATES WE'RE RUNNING FOR CHOOSING A MULTI THAT SHOULD, THEY SHOULD ALREADY BE ON THE CALENDAR.
UM, SO WERE YOU DOING IT ON THAT SUNDAY THE 18TH AND THEN WEEK THAT SATURDAY? THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY? MM-HMM.
AND I THINK, DID WE ALREADY HAD WE RESERVE THE COMMUNITY SPACE? YEAH.
UM, NO, WE, WE DESERVE EVERYTHING.
SO WE HAVE THE DATES FOR THAT.
ALL RIGHT, SO JUST TO RECONFIRM, JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION WILL BE ON THE 18TH AND THEN MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL WILL BE ON THE 24TH OF JUNE.
AND WE'VE GOT THAT WHOLE WEEK RESERVED FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER STILL.
SO IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE THAT MM-HMM.
[00:35:01]
DO WE WANT TO HAVE? WELL WE KNOW WE HAVE AT LEAST TWO, RIGHT? SO ARE WE SAYING THAT WE WANT TO, LAST YEAR WE DID WHAT? FOUR, WE HAD FOUR EVENTS, RIGHT? CAUSE WE HAD THE, IT'S LIKE EVERY DAY THE OFFICIAL FORUM.AND THEN WE HAD THE WELLNESS EVERY DAY.
THE WELLNESS EVENT, THE FESTIVAL, THE, UM, WELL TWO FESTIVALS.
THE JUNE JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL, THEN MULTICULTURAL FESTIVAL.
SO BASICALLY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING WITH THAT FRIDAY.
I REMEMBER LEAST FOUR ITEMS. FOUR ITEMS. FOUR.
SUNDAY, MONDAY, BECAUSE THERE WERE TWO EDUCATION PLUS AND THEN THE TWO ON THE WEEKENDS.
BUT THIS YEAR THEY WANTED US DO ONE IS DO THREE.
CUZ I, WE DON'T ONE, I KNOW IT'S MORE REASONABLE THAN LAST YEAR.
MAYBE WE CAN TYPE IN, UM, ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION TOO, TO ASSIST THOSE THINGS.
SO WHAT IS THAT EVENT THEN? ARE WE THINKING, UM, THAT ADDITIONAL EVENT DURING THE WEEK? WHICH ONE ARE WE THINKING? THE EDUCATION FORM.
OH NO, I WAS GONNA, AND THEN ON EDUCATION THOUGH, WHAT PARTICULAR TOPIC? WELL, THE TASK GROUP, WELL ALL OF US REALLY WE'LL HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS WHAT WE WANT TO DISCUSS.
SO WELL, SO, SO CAUSE OF OUR NEW SCHEDULING PROCESS WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTER, WE'RE GONNA NEED THAT DATE A LOT SOONER THAN LATER.
SO WE NEED TO DECIDE IF WE WANNA DO MONDAY, TUESDAY.
I WOULD SAY JUST, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH IDEAS LIKE THIS WEEK AS FAR AS TOPICS AND THE DATE.
YOU KNOW, I THINK WE AT LEAST KNOW WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING.
SO I GUESS WE CAN AT LEAST LOCK DOWN A DAY.
YOU WANNA LOCK DOWN TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY? I DON'T KNOW.
BUT THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE TOPIC IS.
IT'S JUST MONDAY AND THURSDAY, WHETHER YOU KNOW WHAT DAY YOU WANT.
MONDAY AND THURSDAY IS ALREADY ON RESERVE.
IS THAT THE DAY WE HAD THE FORM LAST YEAR? WE HAVE THE FORM ON TUESDAY AND THURSDAY.
SO, SO THOSE DAYS, THURSDAY, THOSE ARE LOCKED DOWN ALREADY.
AND I WILL SAY MY SUGGESTION THAT THURSDAY FOR THAT WEEK, WHICH WOULD BE THE 22ND.
AND CAN WE, UM, BEFORE WE FINALIZE ON THAT, MAKE SURE WE CHECK WHAT'S GOING ON.
I WOULD SAY IF YOU HAVE THAT BY THE NEXT MEETING, THAT WOULD BE FINE.
SO WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AND MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, LIKE CITY EVENTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
ANYTHING, ANYTHING THAT COULD BE HAPPENING BIG THAT COULD INTERFERE
SO WE'LL, WE'LL KEEP THOSE FOR NOW AND THEN WE'LL KNOW OUR NEXT MEETING, HOW WE'RE GONNA MOVE FORWARD.
UM, SARAH, ONE THING GOING BACKWARDS FOR A SECOND.
UM, WE DO GET SIGNS FOR MLK, SO I STILL WILL NEED A PO TO GO TO STAPLES SO THAT WE CAN GET THOSE SIGNS OR FOR SOMEBODY TO GO WITH THEIR CREDIT CARD AND JUST TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU MEAN SIGNS FOR THE ACTUAL EVENT? THEY'RE ACTUALLY, WE GET 36 BY SOMETHING.
UM, SO WE DEFINITELY WHAT WHEN I GET THOSE, THIS LITTLE FLYER OR DO YOU HAVE BASIC WELL I PROBABLY WILL HAVE THIS FLYER, BUT I'LL CHANGE SOMETHING.
IF YOU CAN SEND THAT TO ME, THEN I CAN GET THAT SQUARED AWAY FOR YOU.
DO WE NEED TO SEND ME ANYTHING FOR THE PROGRAMS? YEAH.
I TOLD HER THAT I WAS GONNA, THE PROGRAM'S GONNA PRETTY MUCH LOOK THE SAME MM-HMM.
SARAH, ARE YOU GONNA PRINT THEM HERE? ARE YOU GONNA SEND IT TO STAPLES TO GET IT PRINTED? THE PROGRAM? UH, IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY AND WHAT ANY, WHEN YOU CAN GET ME AND STAPLES NORMALLY DONATES THOSE TO US, WHICH IS WHY WE USE THEM.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER, I DON'T THINK WE'VE PAID FOR ANY MLK STUFF THEY NORMALLY DO IN-KIND PRINTING, SO FINGERS CROSSED.
RHONDA WILL COORDINATE THAT WITH SARAH.
[00:40:01]
ALL RIGHT.UH, I KNOW WE WERE GONNA TALK ABOUT IT LATER IN TERMS OF WHAT TOPIC WE WANNA COVER FOR THE EDUCATIONAL PIECE.
LIKE WE SAID, WE'RE GONNA DO ONE EVENT.
SO IT'S JUST WHAT CAME IN MY MIND IS, I KNOW LAST TIME WE DID SOMETHING ON, WELL I THINK WE HAD A, A DAY THAT COVER LIKE FINANCIAL LITERACY AND IT WAS ANOTHER DAY THAT WAS LIKE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OR WHATEVER.
I WAS JUST THINKING HEALTH AND, AND WEALTH IS STILL IMPORTANT.
COULD WE DO SOMETHING LIKE MAYBE HAVE THAT ONE DAY THAT COVERS BOTH HEALTH AND WEALTH? RIGHT? MAYBE IT'S A TWO HOUR AND KIND OF COVER GOALS.
I THINK THOSE ARE STILL IMPORTANT TOPICS FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, FOR THE COMMUNITY TO BE EDUCATED ON.
WE CAN STILL DETERMINE WHAT TOPIC ON FINANCIAL LITERACY OR FINANCIAL WEALTH OR WHATEVER, LIKE SPECIFICALLY AND YOU KNOW, HEALTH.
BUT I'M JUST, I JUST, JUST WHILE THE MIND, WHILE IT'S ON MY MIND, I'M JUST THINKING WE COULD KIND OF COMBINE INTO TOPICS NEED HEALTH AND WEALTH, BUT WE CAN NARROW IT DOWN ON WHAT SPECIFIC DO WE WANT TALK ABOUT BRING DO THAT.
JUST, JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.
OR MAYBE EVEN IF IT'S THREE, BECAUSE WE HAD THE BRACES OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS WAS ONE OF THE DAYS TOO, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
SO MAYBE IT'S LIKE 30 MINUTES EACH WHERE IT'S 90 MINUTES.
DIDN'T YOU SAY THEY HAD A BIG TURNOUT FOR THEM? IT WAS, BUT WE HAVE TO BE REALLY CAUTIOUS OF THE TIME.
ISSUE OF THE TIME, YOU KNOW, QUESTION.
BECAUSE I THINK WITH THAT TOPIC PERSONALLY, I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST FOR TO BE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO BE MORE ENGAGED AGAIN.
SO, YOU KNOW, CAUSE YOU DIDN'T REALLY THAT MUCH PARTICIPATION.
BUT UM, BUT NO, THAT, THAT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION CUZ THAT DEFINITELY WOULD BENEFIT EVERYBODY.
I COULD SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ATTENDING, YOU KNOW THAT.
WE'LL KEEP THAT ON THE RADAR FOR OUR MEETING.
I THINK THE ONE THING WE REALLY HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS TIME IS HOW TO BETTER ADVERTISE THESE EVENTS EARLIER.
SO LIKE NOW IF WE KNOW WE'RE HAVING THEM, WE NEED TO SAVE THE DATE OUT THERE SO THAT THE COMMUNITY KNOWS WE'RE HAVING THESE EVENTS.
AND IF WE COULD PUT OUT MAYBE BIG, I DON'T THINK WE DID THAT LAST YEAR, RIGHT.
MAYBE BIG FLYERS THAT CAN BE HOSTED.
I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND WE GOT THE, THE KEY ADS, BUT THAT THING, YOU KNOW, IT FLIPS, YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD, THEY'RE SHOWING OTHER ADS, RIGHT? SO YOU MAY NOT SEE IT AT THAT POINT.
BUT IF WE COULD HAVE MAYBE SOME BIG, UM, POSTER TYPE ADS THAT WE COULD PLACE STRATEGICALLY THROUGHOUT THE, UM, THE CITY, YOU KNOW, MAYBE A WEEK IN ADVANCE OR SOMETHING.
UM, JUST, YOU KNOW, PROMINENT EVERYONE, HEY, WE, WE HAD THIS EVENT COMING UP, YOU KNOW.
I JUST THINK WE DEFINITELY DO A, I KNOW WE HAVE A NICE TURNOUT AT LEAST FOR THE WELL YEAH.
YOU KNOW, NICE TURNOUT FOR THOSE TWO EVENTS.
BUT WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD GROW THAT THING, RIGHT? IT COULD, COULD BE EVEN LARGER.
SO I JUST THINK THAT'S OBVIOUSLY THE FOCUS AREA IS TO TRY WHAT WE CAN DO.
THE ADVERTISEMENT OF, OF THE EVENT.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET EVENTS TO THEM.
THEY'RE RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY SO THEY CAN ADVERTISE OUR EVENTS.
UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW FAITH, WHAT'S HER NAME? UM, WITH 1 0 2 0.9 92.10.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY KNOWS HER PERSONALLY, BUT IF, YOU KNOW PEOPLE ON RADIO WORK, THAT CONNECTION, YOU KNOW.
UM, CAN WE BUDGET FOR THAT? I, I DON'T, HONESTLY, WHY NOT? TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, TO ACTUALLY HAVE A RADIO ADVERTISEMENT, NOT 1 0 2 0.9 92.1.
THE MORE DETAILS THAT WE HAVE, THE DATES, THE INFORMATION, WE CAN GET IT OUT AND WE CAN PUT IT OUT A LOT.
SO THAT'S WHY I KEEP PRESSING FOR DATES AND INFORMATION AND DETAILS AS SOON AS WE CAN GET THEM, BECAUSE THAT ALLOWS ME TO DO WHAT I DO BEST AND EVERYTHING OUT THERE.
UM, SO THAT, THAT'S WHY I I HARP ON THE DATES AND THE INFORMATION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE WE AT LEAST HAVE, YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT THE THREE EVENTS AND WE HAVE THE, I GUESS SOMEWHAT THE THREE DATES, RIGHT? I MEAN THE SUNDAY,
[00:45:01]
THAT SATURDAY AND THAT THURSDAY.SO NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, AGAIN, THE DETAILS IN TERMS OF MM-HMM.
ANY ADDITIONAL MAYBE FUNDS WE NEED TO EXPAND OR ADVERTISEMENT OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
BUT I THINK AT LEAST THE DATES, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE, SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE IN AGREEMENT ON MM-HMM.
THESE ARE THE DATES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THESE EVENTS.
NOW, IN TERMS OF THE TIMES AND ALL THAT, MAYBE WE STILL NEED TO, DO WE HAVE A TIMES LOCKED DOWN TOO? NO, NO.
IT'S GONNA DEPEND ON ONE, THE TOPICS THAT WE'RE GONNA COVER.
YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE TRYING TO DO TWO.
BUT I THOUGHT SO LIKE FOR THE, UH, THAT THE BILL SIX 30 TO THE RACISM, THE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, THE COMMUNITY BOOK FOR IT, WE SAID WE ALREADY HAD A BOOK.
IT'S SIX, IT'S BOOKED FOR THE SAME TIME.
WELL ACTUALLY HE PROBABLY BOOKED IT ALL DAY.
BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN FRED AND I TALKED TO HIM, WE JUST HAD HIM BOOK THAT THAT WHOLE WEEK AGAIN.
UM, I CAN ALSO ALSO REACH OUT TO JOSH IN THE MORNING.
AND JUST SAY, HEY, WE'LL JUST HAVE SIX 30 TO EIGHT 30.
THAT BEING A TIME FOR PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WHO GET OFF OF WORK, GET THEMSELVES SITUATED TO COME.
SO THEN IF THAT'S THE CASE, ARE WE GOOD THEN WITH SAYING, CAUSE YOU'RE SAYING RIGHT NOW WE BOOKED IT ALL FOR MOST OF THAT WEEK.
CAUSE I KNOW THEY WANNA LET IT OUT OTHER PEOPLE.
SO WE, IF WE'RE GOOD WITH RELINQUISHING THOSE DATES THEN, RIGHT? WELL THAT'S WHAT WE WERE SAYING.
WE DON'T KNOW IF WE WANNA LOOK AT THE CALENDAR TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING THAT CONFLICTS WITH THAT THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY OR RIGHT.
SO, SO WE KNOW TUESDAY OR THURSDAY YEAH.
WE, WE PREFER TO THURSDAY, BUT WE DON'T KNOW.
LIKE I SAID, WE DON'T NEED TO, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS WE KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA MM-HMM.
SO, BUT JUST TO BE ABLE TO RELEASE THOSE DATES CUZ YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO A NEW SYSTEM FOR RENTING SO PEOPLE CAN SCHEDULE THOSE FACILITIES.
SO, SO NOW I GUESS BY, MAYBE BY FEBRUARY MEETING THEN WE CAN SAY DEFINITIVELY THURSDAY OR TUESDAY IS WHEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR EDUCATIONAL EVENT, RIGHT? OH YEAH.
AND UH, NOW WHAT DO WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET THOUGH? FOR, FOR THE, UH, IN TERMS OF WHAT DO WE HAVE ALLOCATED? WELL, WE HAVE TO LOOK BACK AT WHAT WE ALLOCATED LAST YEAR.
UM, YEAH, I CAN'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD WHEN WE ALLOCATED FOR THE EVENT.
I'LL HAVE TO LOOK BACK, BUT WE HAVE, EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE THE BUDGET FROM LAST YEAR.
EVERYBODY GOT A COPY OF THAT? BUT WE CAN LOOK BACK AND SEE.
YEAH, I THINK IT WAS THE SAME AMOUNT WHEN I PREPARED THE BUDGET FROM THIS YEAR.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FROM LAST YEAR AS FAR AS WHAT I HAD SUBMITTED TO YOU.
BUT, UM, THE REASON WHY I ASK IS, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE THE RADIO ADVERTISEMENT, WE DIDN'T PAY FOR RADIO ADVERTISEMENT LAST YEAR.
RIGHT? SO IF YOU, IF WE WANT TO GO TO LIKE, SAY 19.1 OR 1 0 2 OR SOME OF THESE OTHERS, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD NEED TO BE, I GUESS ADDED.
UNLESS WE'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THAT BUDGET RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT GONNA SPEND WHATEVER THAT MONEY WAS, MONEY THAT'S THERE, OR NOT MONEY THAT WAS THERE.
BUT LET'S SAY WHAT AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BUDGET, RIGHT? SO I THINK LAST YEAR THAT WE WERE UNDER BUDGET FOR IT.
SO MAYBE THERE'S DOLLARS THERE TO, TO DO UM, YOU KNOW, FUND THAT ADVERTISEMENT OR ANY UNDER, ESPECIALLY CUZ IT'S A FREE EVENT.
SO IT'S A COMMUNITY, IT'S FREE TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO SOMETIMES IN THOSE CASES THEY WILL DO SOME FREE ADVERTISEMENT.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO BE DOING THAT NOW.
SO ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE DOING HEALTH AND WEALTH, MAYBE WE TAP INTO PREMIER.
WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM BEFORE.
AND THEY THEY'RE THEY'RE STILL ON THE BOARD.
BUT, BUT THOSE ARE THINGS WE NEED TO PUT IN PLACE RIGHT NOW CUZ WE'RE, WHAT'S, ARE WE SIX MONTHS OUT? MM-HMM.
FOR THE, FOR TOTAL BUDGET TOTAL 50,000.
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS FOR B'S EVENTS.
WELL, I CAN SAY THIS IS AGAIN, BASED ON WHAT I SUBMITTED FOR THIS UNIT, 2023.
SO FOR THE TWO FORUMS I HAD BUDGETED
[00:50:02]
ABOUT $820.SO FOR TWO FORUMS, THAT'S THE TOTAL OF 1,640.
AND THAT CONSISTED OF THREE PANELISTS AS FAR AS HONORARIUMS, BUT I DON'T FORESEE THAT FOR THE FIRST FORUM WITH SROS.
SO THAT WILL LEAVE MONEY AVAILABLE.
THEN WE ALSO HAVE CERTIFICATES AND FRAMES FOR THOSE.
AND THEN FINALLY WATER AND SNACKS.
BUT THAT COULD BE DONATED MOST COMMISSION IF WE CHOOSE TO DO THAT.
YEAH, WE'LL BE FINE ON THE BUDGET BECAUSE LAST YEAR WE UM, DID NOT USE OUR ENTIRE BUDGET.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE LANDED, BUT I KNOW AS OF SEPTEMBER WE HAD ONLY USED ABOUT 62% OF OUR BUDGET.
SO WE'LL HAVE OUR MEETING, WE'LL TALK MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT THAT.
SO BRING ALL THE GREAT IDEAS YOU HAVE TO OUR FEBRUARY 2ND MEETING, CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS.
I HAVE THIS ONE HERE BECAUSE LAST MONTH WE TALKED ABOUT, WE HAD, UM, MULTIPLE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT FORWARD TO MOVE TOWARDS CITY COUNCIL, BUT WE HAD SOME REVISIONS THAT WERE BEING MADE TO THAT.
UM, AND THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE ALSO BASED OFF OF THE MEETING WITH, UM, MR. JUNE FROM THE MIAMI VALLEY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION, WHICH HE WAS GOING TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS.
SO IF WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS OR IF WE NEEDED TO TWEAK ANYTHING ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON OUR DISCUSSION WITH HIM, THAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED TONIGHT.
UM, BUT SINCE HE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT TONIGHT, HE'LL BE HERE NEXT MONTH AND HE'LL PRESENT SOME OF THESE THINGS IN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT HE DOES AND HOW HE CAN ASSIST THE COMMISSION, UM, FROM AN EQUITY FOCUS.
AND SO I WAS GOING TO TABLE THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VOTING ON THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS UNTIL AFTER WE MEET WITH HIM AND GET SOME ADDITIONAL INSIGHT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GOOD WITH LENDING ON THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO MADAM CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE, UM, ITEM E ON THE AGENDA, THE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS UNTIL OUR NEXT MEETING.
AND MOVE THE SECONDED THAT WE MOVE THE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS TO NEXT MONTH'S MEETING AGENDA.
WE'LL MOVE THAT TO NEXT MONTH.
UM, JUST SO THAT YOU'RE AWARE MM-HMM.
UM, SO YOUR NEXT ONE IS SCHEDULED FOR 27.
THAT WOULD BE YOUR COUNCIL PRESENTATION, YOUR QUARTERLY PRESENTATION.
THAT WAS NOT, THAT'S A NEW UNDERSTANDING
WHICH WOULD BE DURING THOSE QUARTERLY MEETINGS.
THAT IS, THAT'S NEVER BEEN THE UNDERSTANDING BEFORE.
SO BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT WE CAN ONLY SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS DURING OUR FACE-TO-FACE QUARTERLY MEETING ONCE A QUARTER.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD BY MR. ROGERS.
I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT BECAUSE WE ARE RECOMMENDING COMMISSION.
UM, AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN, YOU KNOW, AROUND US EVERY DAY THAT WILL, IT'S GOING TO NEED FORCE, THE NEED FOR US TO SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS MORE THAN ON A QUARTERLY BASIS.
SO THAT'S NOT SITTING WELL WITH ME.
ESPECIALLY SINCE THAT WAS NEVER THE UNDERSTANDING.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S A FAIR UNDERSTANDING, ESPECIALLY, ESPECIALLY BASED ON THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING ON THIS COMMISSION OR THE TYPE OF WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.
MAYBE, YOU KNOW, FOR OTHER BOARD AND COMMISSIONS.
BUT WE ARE, UM, AN ACTIVE COMMISSION THAT IS WORKING HARD TO MAKE CHANGES IN THIS COMMUNITY.
SO, AND I'M NOT, THIS IS NOT LASHING AT YOU OR ANYTHING
[00:55:01]
I WAS JUST WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT.BUT UM, YEAH, THAT'S NOT I, AND WE CAN, WE CAN CERTAINLY FLUSH THAT OUT WITH THEM, SO.
SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PRESENT TO CITY COUNCIL ON, UM, SO YOU GUYS ARE SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 7TH WORK SESSION.
DID WE KNOW THAT, UH, THAT IS ON THAT CALENDAR THAT WAS SENT TO THE BOARD CHAIRS AND STAFF LIAISONS LAST YEAR? LAST YEAR'S CALENDAR FOR THIS YEAR? IT'S THE SAME.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CYCLE CUZ IT'S LIKE FIRST WORK SESSION, SECOND WORK SESSION.
WHO CAN KEEP UP WITH THAT?
CAUSE I'M NOT TRYING TO TRACK WHO, WHEN, WHAT OKAY, THANK YOU.
SO THAT'S WHERE I SIT WITH THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY INPUT ON THAT, BUT THAT'S WHERE I LAND.
UM, SO THE, I GUESS THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAVE IS WHEN WE BRING A RECOMMENDATION TO OUR MEETING, IT USED TO BE THAT WE WOULD PRESENT THAT TO KATIE AND THEN KATIE WOULD TAKE IT TO WHO? TONY.
RIGHT? OR TONY? I BELIEVE SHE WOULD SEND IT TO TONY.
AND TONY WOULD PRESENT IT TO COUNSEL.
IS THAT HOW THAT WORKS? CORRECT.
AND SO FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T FALL THROUGH CRACKS.
LIKE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST.
SO WE PREPARE IT HERE, DISCUSS IT, AND PRESENT IT OURSELVES TO THEM.
SO THEY WOULDN'T SEE IT, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY WOULDN'T SEE IT, UH, FOR THE FIRST TIME UNTIL THAT QUARTER OF THE MEETING.
THEY WERE SAYING, OH, WOULD YOU STILL SUBMIT? SO LET'S JUST SAY TODAY WE, UM, OKAY, LET'S JUST SAY WE HAVE THE MEETING ON THE SEVENTH AND THEN LET'S JUST SAY IN, IN UH, UH, MARCH, RIGHT? WE COME UP WITH ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION.
WE WANT TO SUBMIT IT AS SOON, WE WILL STILL SEND THE RECOMMENDATION THAT TONY OR KATIE OR YOU AND ON TONY, BUT THEN IT WON'T GET, HAVE SOMEBODY LOOKED AT OR REVIEWED UNTIL IT'S PRESENTED AT THE NEXT QUARTERLY, UM, RECOMMENDATION MEETING OR, UH, WORK SESSION MEETING WITH THE COUNCIL.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? THAT'S JUST SO THAT, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.
SO IT WOULD ALMOST BE LIKE A GROUP OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU WOULD BE PRESENTING.
SO WE GET, SO THE DECISION WILL, THE DECISION WILL, I ASSUME THAT IT IS PRESENTED OR IT MAY NOT GET A DECISION AT THAT POINT, RIGHT? I GUESS IT WOULD ONLY BE A PRESENTATION AND THEN THEY COULD AT THAT POINT EITHER MAKE A DECISION TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OR NOT.
OR WOULD THEY EVEN MAKE DECISIONS AT THAT POINT, AT THAT MEETING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? SINCE SAY WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AT THAT WORK SESSION, WOULD THEY MAKE A DECISION AT THAT POINT OR WOULD THEY JUST, ARE THEY JUST THERE TO RECEIVE AND SO THE WORK SESSION IS THAT CONVERSATION THAT BOARD AND COMMISSIONS CAN THEN HAVE WITH COUNSEL DURING THAT TIME.
AND THEN THEY WOULD PROBABLY THEN MOVE IT TO THE COUNCIL MEETING FOR ADOPTION.
THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS.
WHATEVER PROCESS CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE, I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO ALL BE AWARE OF THOSE IF THOSE COULD BE SENT TO US.
UM, I'M NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT ONE, SO WE'LL NEED TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT ONE.
UM, BUT YEAH, IF THERE'S THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BECAUSE THE OTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW, AT ONE POINT WE, WE DRAFTED A WHOLE PROCESS.
DO Y'ALL REMEMBER THAT? AND VOTED ON THE PROCESS YES.
IS TO THE, THE PROCESS OF SUBMITTING TO CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS AND A TIMELINE.
SO IF THERE ARE ALL THESE NEW PROCESSES, I ALSO WANNA KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS FOR THEM TO REPLY TO OUR RECOMMENDATIONS WITH THE PROCESS, THE TIMELINE, ALL OF THAT.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE OLD RECOMMENDATIONS? NO.
YOU'VE ALREADY MADE OR MOVING FORWARD FROM THIS POINT? WELL, BASED ON BOTH.
AND, AND I THINK ONE THING THAT WHEN RHONDA WAS TALKING ABOUT THE PROCESS, THE OTHER PIECE OF THE THE PROCESS WAS THAT THE MAYOR HAS TO AGREE TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA.
BUT THAT USUALLY HAPPENS AT THAT WORK SESSION.
SO WE'LL NOTE AT THAT PRESENTATION IF IT'S GOING TO BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA.
IF NOT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION, BUT WE'RE NOT LOOKING FORWARD, BASICALLY.
[01:00:01]
OKAY.WELL, I WAS TOLD THAT HE SETS THE AGENDA PERIOD, SO IF HE DOESN'T WANT IT ON THERE, IT'S NOT GOING ON THERE.
BUT, BUT HE BUT DURING THE WORKING SESSION, THE WAY SHE'S DESCRIBING IS THAT THAT'S WHERE THE CONVERSATION HAPPENS, WHERE HE'S GONNA DECIDE WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND US, BUT IT DOESN'T GET TO THE WORK SESSION IF HE DON'T WANT IT ON THE AGENDA.
HE, THE MAYOR SETS THE AGENDA PERIOD FOR COUNCIL MEETINGS.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
SO THEN, BUT SHE'S SAYING QUARTERLY THAT'S THAT RECOMMENDATIONS REPRESENTED.
BUT WHAT SHE'S SAYING IS ON THAT RABBIT HOLE, WHY DON'T SHE EXPLAIN THAT AGAIN? CORRECT.
THAT'S SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, YOU WOULD MAKE THE PRESENTATION, YOU WOULD MAKE THE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEN THEY WOULD EITHER AGREE TO MOVE THAT ONTO THE AGENDA FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING FOR ADOPTION OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
SO WHAT HAPPEN RIGHT THEN AND THERE? SO NOTHING IS FALLING THROUGH CRACKS.
SO ALL SOUNDS LIKE ALL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE COMING TO THE TABLE.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF IF THEY'RE GETTING CONSIDERED WELL THEY'RE, I GUESS THEY'RE GETTING CONSIDERED, BUT I GUESS IT'S A MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO ADOPT IT, WHETHER NOT THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT FORWARD TO CITY COUNCILS OR FORMAL, I GUESS APPROVAL GO IN WITH 10 AND COME OUT TWO, THEN MOVE ON.
THEN I, I WOULDN'T EVEN SAY THAT.
WELL, THEY MIGHT EVENTUALLY MAKE IT ON THE AGENDA, BUT I MEAN, PAST PRACTICE, BUT IT WAS BASED ON WHEN THE MAYOR WANTED IT TO BE ON THE AGENDA.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS WILL GUARANTEE US AT LEAST A, A QUARTERLY CORRECT.
SAYING, CAUSE THIS IS IN THE PAST, RIGHT? IT SOUNDS LIKE, HEY, AT LEAST EVERY QUARTER IF WE SUBMIT, IF WE HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE SUBMITTED, THEY WILL BE ON THE AGENDA TO BE HEARD OR WE WILL BE HEARD.
THEY WILL BE PRESENTED BECAUSE IT'LL BE PART OF YOUR FORMAL PRESENTATION.
AND YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD, TO ME IT'S A GOOD THING BECAUSE IN PAST WE'VE MADE RECOMMENDATIONS.
WE HADN'T HEARD ABOUT 'EM, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO 'EM AND RIGHT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AND THEY'RE, AND THEY'RE BE, AND THERE MAY BE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT DON'T NECESSARILY MOVE FORWARD TO A COUNCIL AGENDA BECAUSE THEY'RE A STAFF ASSIGNMENT, IF YOU WILL.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? CORRECT.
SO LIKE IN READING THE PACKET, YOU, ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS YOU'RE MAKING ABOUT, UM, TRANSLATION THAT ACTUALLY HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ON THE WEBSITE.
SO IT, AND THAT IS A STAFF THING AND NOT A COUNCIL THING.
SO IS THERE A SCHEDULE, SARAH, FOR ALL OF THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS YES.
THEY DO THEIR POORLY PRESENTATIONS.
AND AT THAT TIME THEY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND THAT, THAT'S FOR ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.
SO ZONING PLANNING COMMISSION, I MEAN ALL OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE DOING PRESENTATIONS.
YOURS IS A QUARTERLY, SO IT'S ONCE A QUARTER, A AND B IS A REGULAR, ONCE A QUARTER PARKS AND REC IS A ONCE A QUARTER PLANNING MAY ONLY BE ONCE A YEAR.
SO DO WE HAVE TO SUBMIT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS IN WRITING PRIOR TO? CORRECT.
SO IT'LL BE PART OF YOUR PRESENTATION THAT YOU SUBMIT FOR THE COUNCIL WORK SESSION PACKET.
SO THEY WILL HAVE A WEEK PRIOR AMPLE TIME, HUH? A WEEK PRIOR? CORRECT.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OUR JUNE 2ND, I MEAN FEBRUARY 2ND MEETING WOULD NOT BE IN TIME FOR THIS MEETING.
WELL, AND THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP.
SO NO, I I MEAN I, I'M NOT, I'M FINE WITH THE QUARTERLY MEETINGS AND US HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT.
HOWEVER, I'M NOT FINE WITH BEING LIMITED TO JUST THAT WHEN IT COMES TO RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE THIS.
BECAUSE THE WAY IT SITS, WE WOULDN'T, IF WE DON'T VOTE UNTIL OUR FEBRUARY 2ND MEETING, THEN WE DON'T GET TO PRESENT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS UNTIL JUNE.
WITH THE INTEREST OF TIME, I'M THINKING WE GO AHEAD, GET THROUGH THE AGENDA AND NUMBER SEVEN, UM, SAYS ADDITIONAL ITEMS AND COMMENTS.
AND DURING THAT TIME, BEFORE WE ADJOURN, WE JUST DECIDE WHICH RECOMMENDATIONS GET PRESENTED ON FEBRUARY 7TH AND VOTING THAT WAY.
YOU MEAN VOTE ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS? YES.
WHICH ONE'S ARE GONNA BE PRESENTED ON FEBRUARY 7TH? NOT REALLY GET DEEP INTO, WE KNOW ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE HAVE.
WE DO KNOW OUR REC THE RECOMMENDATIONS AT LEAST DECIDE WHICH ONES WE PRESENT TO
[01:05:01]
THEM ON THE SEVENTH.BUT IF THERE ARE TWEAK, WE HAVE TO VOTE TO APPROVE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO ARE WE READY TO DO THAT BECAUSE THERE WERE, OR DO WE NEED TO HEAR FROM MR.
BUT THE OTHER RECOMMENDATION IS WHAT THE ONE FOR, UH, TERRACE CALENDAR CALENDAR DATE.
WE CAN GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT THAT.
SHE ALREADY IN THE BRING UP AGAIN, HAD A NEW AUDIENCE BRING UP.
WELL, YOU KNOW, IF WE, I MEAN WE COULD VOTE ON MOVING TERRACE FOR, AND IF WE REMEMBER OUR MEETING LAST WEEK, I MEAN LAST MONTH WE WERE FINE WITH TWO OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
I THINK IT WAS THE THIRD RECOMMENDATION THAT WE WANTED TO TWEAK, UM, THE HIRING THE DER I THINK THAT WAS NUMBER FOUR.
WE, WE WANTED THAT POSITION TO BE A MANAGEMENT LEVEL POSITION SO THAT THEY HAVE, UM, THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE SOME THINGS.
UM, AND I, I DID CHANGE THE, THE WORDING ALREADY TO THAT.
SO REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT WE NEEDED TO CHANGE HERE WAS TO ADD A SAMPLE JOB DESCRIPTION.
AND I DON'T, MAYBE NOTHING ADDITIONAL WILL COME OUT OF THAT CONVERSATION WITH MR. JUNE ANYWAY.
NOT I'M JUST, I'M JUST THINKING.
ARE WE, WILL WE, ARE WE READY TO VOTE ON THESE RECOMMENDATIONS TONIGHT TO MOVE THEM FORWARD? I THINK WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE REALLY.
I THINK WE NEED TO, WE AS IT STAND.
BUT WHEN WE GET THERE, I'M JUST THINKING WE CAN DO THAT DURING NUMBER SEVEN.
UM, GENTLE STILL NEED TO GET PAST BLACK IN MONTH O C WELL, BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA JUST, WE'LL, WE'LL KNOW.
WE'LL, SO WE'LL MOVE ITEM NUMBER E DOWN INSTEAD OF TABLING IT.
SO WE'LL MOVE IT DOWN AND WE'LL TAKE IT, I MEAN, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT AS ITEM E.
I'M LOST TRACK OF WHERE WE ARE.
NEW BUSINESS, NEW BUSINESS ELECTION OF OFFICERS, CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR, OR DO WE HAVE ANY NOMINATIONS FOR CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR POSITION THIS YEAR? OF COURSE, IT'S ME, RHONDA'S THE VICE CHAIR THIS YEAR.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO, DOES ANYONE HAVE A NOMINATION FOR CHAIR, VICE CHAIR FOR 2023? MY NAME, YOU SELF NOMINATE.
I WOULD LIKE TO BE THE CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION.
UM, AND I'VE EXPRESSED TO YOLANDA THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER, UM, THESE PAST TWO YEARS.
I KIND OF KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION AND WE'VE WORKED A LOT TOGETHER, SO I'M HAPPY TO STEP UP IN THAT ROLE.
UM, IF YOU ALL WERE HAPPY TO BE THE CHAIR.
SO WE HAVE NOMINATION FOR MS. SUMLIN.
ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? ALL RIGHT.
DO WE HAVE A NUMBER?
CAN I SECOND THAT NOMINATION? THANKS.
[01:10:01]
ALL RIGHT.AND YOLANDA STEVENS FOR VICE CHAIR.
AND WE CAN CALL A VOTE ON INDIVIDUALLY ON THE WE NEED A MOTION.
YEAH, WE NEED A MOTION CUZ WE DIDN'T OFFICIALLY TAKE A MOTION.
A MOTION FOR YOLANDA STEVENS TO ASSUME A ROLE OF VICE CHAIR FOR 2023.
I MOVE THAT THE COMMISSION NOMINATES
I'M NOT GONNA SAY THIS MOTION.
MRS. YOLANDA STEVENS AS THE VICE CHAIR FOR THE CAPER HEIGHTS CULTURE.
DIVERSITY CITIZEN ACTION COMMISSION FOR THE 2023 THROUGH TWO, TWO YEARS.
JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
YOU, YOU, YOU, UM, YOU MAKE A MOTION TO ELECT HER OR NOMINATE? ARE YOU SAYING ARE WE ELECT ELECTS? YOU SAID NOMINAT.
IT HAS BEEN FIRST AND SECOND IN ANY, IN ALL IN AGREEMENT.
ANY IN OPPOSITION? ALL RIGHT, MS. YOLANDA STEVENS WILL ASSUME THE ROLE OF VICE CHAIR FOR 2023.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ELECT MS. RHONDA SUMLIN AS OUR NEW, UH, CHAIR FOR THE COMMISSION.
ALL IN FAVOR TO ELECT RHONDA SUMMON FOR CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION FOR 2023.
MR. AND WE WORK WELL AS CO-CHAIRS ANYWAY, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT MUCH WILL CHANGE, BUT YES.
YEAH, THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING AT YOU LIKE WHAT
BUT TO LET YOU KNOW, I WILL NOT BE AS THAT SEVENTH.
ALL RIGHT, WE GONNA TALK OFFLINE ABOUT THAT.
SO, UH, WE WERE ACTUALLY HAVING A DIALOGUE ABOUT WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO FOR FEBRUARY FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH LAST YEAR WE DID AN ESSAY CONTEST WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL.
WAS IT A HIGH SCHOOL OR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL? IT WAS, UM, HIGH SCHOOL.
UM, SO WE DO NEED TO DO SOMETHING FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
I THOUGHT WE POSSIBLY, AND, AND THIS IS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A BRAINSTORMING TIME.
POSSIBLY WE COULD DO THE TIKTOK CHALLENGE THAT WE HAD FOR, WAS IT JUNETEENTH? JUNETEENTH FOR JUNETEENTH? MAYBE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR A BLACK HISTORY MONTH SINCE WE'LL ALREADY KIND OF HAVE THE YOUTH INVOLVED AT THE MLK EVENT.
[01:15:01]
CAN REALLY PUB IT UP THEN MAYBE EVEN RECORD, HAVE HAD THEM RECORD SOME TOS THAT DAY TO GET THEM INVOLVED.SO THAT WAS JUST A, A THOUGHT OR IDEA THAT I HAD.
WERE THERE ANY OTHER THOUGHTS OR IDEAS ON BLACK HISTORY? MARK? THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
UM, WILL THERE BE ANY SPECIFIC GUIDELINES IN TERMS OF WHAT SUBMISSIONS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE? YEAH, WE WOULD HAVE TO ESTABLISH THAT.
SO I'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO, UM, TASK FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH TO KIND OF COME UP WITH THAT OUTLINE.
AND ERDA HAD ALREADY DEVELOPED ONE FOR THE TIKTOK CHALLENGE THAT KIND OF PLAY OFF OF FOR DRINKING.
AND MAYBE IT'S A, UM, AT THE END OF THE MLK PROGRAM.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE TIKTOK CHALLENGE, PLEASE STAY AFTER MM-HMM.
AND THEN PEOPLE WHO WANNA LEAVE CAN CLEAR OUT AND THEN THEY CAN DO THAT MIGHT BE AN IDEA.
YEAH, AMAZON ECHO OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
SO THE CITY SHOULD STILL HAVE THOSE STILL.
SO MAYBE WE CAN WORK ON THAT, RHONDA, SINCE YOU DID THAT.
MAYBE YOU AND I CAN WORK TOGETHER ON THAT.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO WORK ON THAT? BERNIE DESIRE? OKAY.
COULD YOU CHECK TO SEE IF THOSE ARE STILL AVAILABLE? OKAY.
SARAH, CAN YOU GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT? SURE.
SO, UM, ACTUALLY CARLA WAS PART OF THE INTERVIEW PROCESS.
WE, UM, INTERVIEWED CHRISTIE TROTTER.
AND SO CITY COUNCIL MADE A RECOMMENDATION AT THE WORK SESSION ON 13, UM, FOR APPROVAL.
SO SHE WILL BE APPROVED ON MONDAY EVENING.
YOU'LL HAVE A NEW COMMISSION NUMBER.
UM, I DID REACH OUT TO TONY ABOUT THE ONE APPLICANT THAT WE HAD.
ROB WILLIAM, IS THAT RIGHT? BECAUSE HE INITIALLY APPLIED THE LAST TIME WE HAD AN OPEN SEAT.
I DON'T RECALL WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THERE WERE SOME SCHEDULING PROBLEMS. UM, AND SO HE WASN'T ABLE TO BE INTERVIEWED DURING THAT PROCESS, BUT THEN HE RESUBMITTED THIS TIME AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT HIM AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE.
SO THEN SHE WILL DO HER OATH IN FEBRUARY? CORRECT.
SO SHE WOULD BE JOINING US AT THE NEXT MEETING.
THAT REMINDS ME, SPEAKING OF THE LAST MEETING, THANK YOU,
I MADE, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE URGENCY THAT WE, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT, UM, WHY WERE WE TRYING TO FILL IT SO FAST? YEAH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT OFFLINE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT EVER CAME UP.
SARAH, DO YOU KNOW WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT? I KNOW THERE'S ON THE AGENDA FOR WORKING SESSION WHEN THERE'S STILL OPEN ROLES ON OTHER COMMISSIONS.
DO YOU KNOW WHY IT WAS SO, SO I KNOW THAT THERE'S A TIMELINE PROCESS.
UH, THAT WOULD BE A TONY QUESTION.
THE CONCERN WAS THAT THE TIMELINE FOR INTERVIEWS, SINCE IT WAS OVER THE HOLIDAYS, PEOPLE AREN'T AVAIL GENERALLY AVAILABLE.
RIGHT? THEY'RE TRAVELING, THEY'RE WHATEVER.
OR JUST CHECKED OUT LIKE I WAS
RIGHT? SO THAT WAS THE CONCERN IS THAT, UM, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T MISS OUT ON ANOTHER VIABLE CANDIDATE TO INTERVIEW BECAUSE OF A TIMING ISSUE.
AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT MR. WILLIAMS, DOESN'T HE HAVE SOME DIVERSITY? UM, MR. RICHARDSON, DOESN'T HE HAVE SOME DIVERSITY EXPERIENCE? DID HE WORK IN THAT ROLL UP FOR ME? I THINK HE DID.
[01:20:01]
CHECK TO BE FOR SURE.I MEAN, YOU'RE YOUR NEW, YOUR NEW PERSON.
UM, AND CARLA, YOU KNOW, LET ME KNOW IF THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.
I MEAN, SHE'S, SHE'S GOT THE D E I TRAINING.
SHE SITS ON A LOT OF, UM, DIVERSITY AND CULTURE THINGS THAT SHE DOES WITH THE LIBRARY CUZ THAT'S WHERE HER PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT IS.
I MEAN, SHE'S A REALLY SOLID CANDIDATE.
SO SHE'LL BE, SHE'LL BRING A LOT TO THE TABLE.
SO SHE DOES HAVE SOME D E I EXPERIENCE? YES.
YEAH, I'VE HEARD, I HEARD GREAT THINGS FROM THE INTERVIEW.
I HAVE NO CONCERN WITH HER AT ALL.
I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, I'M A HR MINDED PERSON AND ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE, UM, NOT LIMITING THE OPPORTUNITIES TO PEOPLE WHO APPLY.
SO I'M THINKING ABOUT IT FROM THAT RIGHT.
PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE I DON'T, THAT'S LAST THING.
WANT SOMEBODY TO COME BACK AND SAY, THIS IS AN UNFAIR PROCESS.
I WASN'T EVEN GIVEN AN INTERVIEW.
STRATEGIC PLANNING AND REVIEW OF COMMISSION LEGISLATION AND FOCUS.
THIS IS A WHOLE MEETING
SO THE PURPOSE THERE WAS ONE, ONCE WE HAVE OUR NEW COMMISSION MEMBER ON BOARD, UM, WE WILL REVIEW OUR LEGISLATION AND OUR FOCUS.
SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU REREAD THROUGH THAT BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT IN OUR FEBRUARY MEETING BECAUSE WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE DOING IS ALIGNED TO THIS LEGISLATION.
AND I DON'T WANT US ENOUGH TALK ABOUT THIS BEFORE.
I DON'T WANT US TO GET CAUGHT REALLY CAUGHT UP IN A LOT OF ACTIVITY BASED THINGS BECAUSE WE'RE HERE TO MAKE CHANGE AND MAKE SOME SYSTEMIC CHANGES.
UM, WHICH GOES WELL BEYOND THE FESTIVALS AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A WHOLE, UM, PARKS AND REC AND WE HAVE ARTS AND NOTIFICATION.
WE HAVE COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS THAT CAN DO THE FESTIVAL TYPE STUFF.
WE'RE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
SO THAT, THAT'S NOT OUR FOCUS.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL DISCUSS THAT MORE, UM, ONCE WE HAVE OUR NEW COMMISSION MEMBER GOING BOARD.
ALL RIGHT, ANY QUESTIONS? ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS? OKAY.
ITEM E, CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO WE HAVE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS IN FRONT OF US AND AS THEY STOOD FROM LAST MONTH, ITEMS ONE AND TWO, THERE WERE NO REVISIONS ITEMS. ITEM THREE, THE REVISION WAS THAT WE WANTED TO INCLUDE A SAMPLE JOB DESCRIPTION.
I THINK WE CAN SUBMIT THIS WITHOUT THAT AND DETERMINE PROPOSED LEVEL, UM, MANAGEMENT LEVEL.
SO WE NEEDED TO ADD THAT AS WELL.
SO THOSE WERE THE ONLY CHANGES.
ARE WE OKAY WITH REMOVING THE SAMPLE JOB DESCRIPTION? NOT VOTING ON THAT PART.
YOU OKAY WITH THAT? ALL RIGHT.
AND THEN THE ONLY MODIFICATION WILL BE THE PROPOSED LEVEL, UM, OF
[01:25:01]
THE POSITION WOULD BE A MANAGEMENT LEVEL POSITION.ANY OTHER MODIFICATIONS? NO OTHERS.
SO ARE WE READY TO VOTE OR MOVING THESE FOUR OR RECOMMENDATIONS ITEM FOUR.
ATEM FOUR, THE COMMISSION COUNCIL, WHAT'S THE NAME? MR. ONE AND FOUR.
HAVE AT LEAST ONE MEMBER COUNCIL MEMBER 10 COMMISSION MEETINGS AND THEN INCLUDE COMMISSION.
ONE IS COUNCIL MEMBER ATTENDING OURS.
ARE WE OKAY WITH THAT ONE OR WE WANNA LEAVE THAT ONE OFF? BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY IT WOULD BE THAT D E I B STAFF PERSON WHO WOULD ATTEND THAT ONCE THAT PERSON'S HIRED.
AND THAT'S IF THEY ACCEPT NUMBER THREE.
SO IF THEY DON'T ACCEPT NUMBER THREE, DOES THAT MEAN WE HAVE TO ROTATE IT ONCE A MONTH TO GO TO A CITY COUNCIL MEETING? MERGE? WE DIDN'T REALLY DISCUSS THAT ONE IN DETAIL BECAUSE WE WERE OPERATING ON THE FACT THAT WE BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION.
DO YOU WANNA LEAVE THAT ONE OFF? YOU NEED TO BACK UP ON FOUR.
WHAT ARE THOUGHTS IF YOU, IF IF THEY DON'T PICK, IF THEY DO NOT HIRE A STAFF PERSON, UHHUH.
YOU CAN BE AT THOSE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
THOSE WHAT YOU MEAN? OH, TOO, THE WORK SESSION AND THE MAIN, NO, THERE'S TWO MEETINGS.
WORK SESSION, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO PROPOSE TO THEM THE VALUE.
WHAT'S THE VALUE PROPOSITION OF THEM HIRING A D E I PERSON? WHAT, WHAT VALUE WOULD THAT BRING TO THE CITY? I MEAN, WE KNOW YEAH.
BUT WE NEED TO PROPOSE TO THEM.
WHAT, WHAT'S THE VALUE PROPOSITION OF YOU ALL HIRING SOMEONE? SO ARE YOU SAYING WE NEED TO EXPAND THIS RECOMMENDATION? I FEEL LIKE WE DO BECAUSE JUST SAYING YOU NEED TO HIRE, YOU KNOW, A D EI PERSON.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ADD TO IT RIGHT NOW IF WE WANTED TO THE YEAR OF FEBRUARY.
I MEAN, WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE VALUE OF, OF THEM HAVING THIS POSITION? SO DO WE HOLD ON FORWARD TO THE NEXT QUARTER AND PUSH ON TWO? YEP.
I WOULD SAY JUST THROW ONE TWO DRAFT FOR FEBRUARY 7TH.
AND THEN JUST SEE HOW IT GOES.
AND THEN NEXT QUARTER WE CAN BRING IT UP.
IF WE DON'T HAVE IT, I AGREE WITH THAT AS WELL BY THEN.
WE'LL KNOW HOW OUR YEAR GOING, OUR PLATES.
AND IF YOU CAN TAKE ON TWO WEEKS, MONTH EXTRA
CAUSE WE GONNA HAVE POLICE INFORM.
YOU GONNA HAVE CCC, RRB? I MEAN WE JUST, I DON'T WANT TO OVER BURDEN US AND STUFF THAT COMES UP IN BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, LIKE
SO WHAT WE PRESS FORWARD WITH THE RE THE FIRST THREE RECOMMENDATIONS, IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING? WE'RE TRYING TO ADD WELL, BUT DO WE NEED, DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT TO VOTE ON REMOVING THE RECOMMENDATION FOR IT? WE CAN ADD THAT, RIGHT.
THE VALUE PROCESS, BECAUSE THAT'S AT THE CORE OF THE RECOMMENDATION.
SO WE CAN, WE CAN ADD THAT, WE CAN VOTE TO SAY THAT WE WANT THE THREE.
AND THEN BEFORE WE SEND SARAH TO EMAIL, FINALIZE WHAT GOES INTO THE THREE, RIGHT.
[01:30:01]
THAT'S WE CAN, YEAH.CAUSE I MEAN REALLY YOUR VALUE PROPOSITION IS GONNA BE PART OF YOUR PRESENTATION.
