C
First
up
on
our

we
have
the
approval

minutes
of
December.
8Th
2022
is
need,
a
action
is
the
action
needed.
C
All
right,
Aaron
Griffin,
that's
all
right:
Captain
Mitchell.
A
C
All
right,
so
next
on
the
agenda's
lineup
number
two:
we
have
staff
updates,
City
liaison
Brenda
Mills.
B
Hey
both
CD
lays
down
here
Brenda
Mills.
First
of
all,
let
me
do
one
thing
chair:
if
you
don't
mind
just
a
reminder:
we
have
a
new
member
today,
so
if
you
want
to
introduce
yourself
Miss
Tiffany
flynori
down
below,
please
do
so.
B
Tiffany
is
your
choice,
the
commission's
pick
and
then
I'm
not
sure.
If
Keshawn
Johnson
will
be
able
to
join
us
today,
so
Tiffany
take
it
away.
You
could
be
my
update.
F
Well,
thank
you.
Miss
Mills
first
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
committee
just
well.
The
commission
for
bringing
me
on
board
I'm
really
excited
to
be
a
part
of
what
what
I
look
at
to
be
history.
Making
I
come
to
you
from
various
boards
that
I've
joined
and
am
still
currently
a
part
of,
but
I
look
at
the
African-American
Heritage
commission
as
something
that's
a
little
more
sacred
to
Asheville,
because
it's
telling
the
story
and
it's
demystifying,
a
narrative
of
the
you
know
black
Asheville.
F
That's
just
been
here
for
so
long,
so
I'm
just
grateful
to
bring
my
gifts,
my
talents
and
my
time.
So,
if
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free
to
ask
me
my
email
is:
is
open
and
available
and
I
just
look
forward
to
working
with
everyone.
B
And
then
my
additional
updates
are.
We
have
a
boys
in
commission
survey
that
you
need
to
take
it's
on
your
agenda.
The
link
is
on
your
agenda.
If
you
could
take
a
few
minutes
to
do
that,
this
is
in
regards
to
when
we
started
the
board
restructure
last
year.
You
know
that
has
been
halted
and
then
we're
just
trying
to
get
some
feedback
of
the
working
group,
for
that
is
trying
to
get
some
feedback
from
different
boards
and
commission
members.
B
Now
that
is
past
members,
current
members
and
then
we
have
a
new
city
council
committee,
there's
several
new
ones,
but
one
of
a
particular
interest
to
the
equity
office
is
equity
and
engagement.
Council
committee,
they
meet
the
third
Tuesday
of
the
month.
Our
first
meeting
is
on
Tuesday.
Some
of
the
items
up
for
a
discussion
are
the
Strategic
partnership
funds
I,
believe
that's
right
and
also
the
immediate
recommendation
brought
us
by
the
reparations
Commission
in
December
and
then
the
next
reparations
commission
meeting
was
this
past
Monday.
C
Thank
you.
Next,
we
have
Callie
liaison
Leonard
Jones.
G
I
think
Miss
Tiffany
has
a
question
at
the
moment.
F
It
wasn't
really.
It
was
just
an
add-on
to
what
Ms
Mills
was
talking
about
the
bordery
structure
and
I
really
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
fact
that
that
movement
was
a
Grassroots
movement
from
community
and
different
individuals,
with
experience
with
city
government
and
just
shout
out
to
City
of
Asheville,
because
they
heard
the
people
and
that's
why
you
know
it
became
a
halt.
So,
as
you
fill
out,
those
surveys
just
realize
that
this
wasn't
a
city
like
effort.
This
really
came
from
the
people.
G
G
However,
for
the
next
meeting,
I
will
have
a
request
from
the
County's
Public
engagement
side
would
like
to
have
a
presentation
with
this
commission
just
on
some
ideas,
around
public
engagement
and
some
possible
collaborations
with
special
collections
at
the
library
and
some
current
projects
going
on
some
archival,
that's
happening
at
the
ymi
that
this
group
may
be
very
beneficial
in
moving
that
project
along
as
well
as
there's
some
the
black
Asheville
history
project,
that's
going
on,
and
we
just
want
to
share
some
of
these
initiatives.
G
C
You
Leonard
next
I
will
number
four
is
unfinished
business.
We
don't
have.
We
don't
have
any
right
now.
So
we'll
move
on
to
new
business,
which
is
great
first
up,
is
the
pack
Square
Vision
visioning
project
on
Friday
January,
the
13th
between
9
A.M
and
1
P.M
at
the
development
service
center
161
South
Street
they're,
inviting
people
out
to
Unleash
Your
Inner
designer
and
join
the
pack
Square
design
Workshop.
So
this
is
going
to
happen
on
the
13th
between
nine
and
one
and
it's
they're.
C
Gonna
have
coffee
and
tea
all
day
in
in
a
place,
even
a
place
where
your
kid
to
sit
at
the
table
so
which
that's
happening
tomorrow.
So
if
anyone
is
available
at
10,
please
attend
a
side
note
to
that.
You
know,
as
far
as
the
revisioning.
C
In
2019,
this
Commission
had
put
forth
a
suggestion
to
do
a
400
years
of
inequality
with
doing
a
Jamestown
project
which
I
don't
know
if
anyone's
familiar
with
it.
I
just
looked
through
the
notes
and
I
thought
it
was
a
great
idea.
You
know
especially
to
be
able
to
do
something
like
that
with
pack
square,
and
you
know
so.
C
The
healing
process
can
start
it's
good
to
look
back
but
and
remember
and
also
look
forward
to
you
know
we
have
made
some
progress,
and
that
would
be
something
great
that
you
know.
Maybe
we
can
collaborate
come
together,
some
ideas
of
like
what
that
would
look
like
and
be
able
to
present
that
to
the
pack
Square
visioning,
you
know,
so
anyone
have
any
comments
or
questions
about
it.
I
know,
Miss,
Miss
Mitchell
would
probably
be
able
to
speak
more
on
that
if
she's
a.
A
Yes,
actually,
we
had
a
meeting
today
with
the
consultant
hired
by
the
city
and
the
discussion
centered
around
involving
high
school
and
middle
school
students
in
a
process
of
participating
in
the
visioning
and
we've
started
meeting.
Actually.
The
first
meeting
was
today
at
oh
Fletcher
and
we'll
be
moving
on
to
the
middle
and
high
school
groups
to
involve
them
in
the
process.
A
Helping
students
to
actually
design
some
of
their
ideas
for
in
the
city
20
years,
50
years,
200
years,
because
that
will
be
their
generation.
A
And
so
yes,
we
moving
forward
with
that
and
actually
I
have
a
meeting
scheduled
with
shavonda
next
week,
because
she
has
conducted
such
a
visioning
process
at
Asheville,
high
and
just
a
year
or
two
ago,
and
so
I'll
be
able
to
certainly
bring
additional
information
as
well
as
actions
that
we've
taken
at
the
next
meeting.
C
Thank
you,
Miss
Mitchell,
Mr
Hayes.
Could
you
maybe
inform
the
commission
about
the
meeting
with
South
South
Side
United,
like
some
of
their
concerns
or
issues
of
how
we
can
help
contribute
to
their
cause?
Sure.
D
What
the
South
Side-
oh
man,
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
my
brain,
locked
but
Savannah
Harper
is
a
part
of
the
team
with
the
South
Side
Tiffany.
Do
you
know
what
the
whole
thing
is
called
the
south
side.
D
Side
United
yeah,
so
South
Side,
United,
okay,
they
have
they
have
you
know
they
have,
they
form
the
group
and
they
are
really
adamant
about
preserving
the
history
of
South
Side.
You
know
they've
changed
it
from
South
slope
I
mean
it's
changing
from
South
Side
to
South,
slope,
that's
kind
of
disheartening
and
then
there's
some
projects
that
are
happening
in
the
South
Side.
D
One
was
the
one
that
we
talked
about
here
in
the
commission
was
the
Walton
Street
project
and
about
preserving
the
Walton
Walton
Street,
the
pool
area
and
the
grounds
on
the
pool,
but
they
wanted
to
take
that
a
little
deeper.
They
wanted
to
actually
look
into
what
it
would
take
to
to
have
the
pool
workable
and,
like
it's
some
other
beautification
projects
that
are
going
on,
but
their
main
concern
and
I
I
feel
oh
gosh.
I
just
feel
I.
D
Don't
feel
right
like
really
speaking
for
them,
but
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
with
them.
So
I
will
say
that
their
main
concern
right
now
is
the
support
that
they
need,
as
a
community
group,
from
a
commission
like
ours
to
help
to
so
they
can
see
some
of
their
Vision
come
to
fruition.
D
It
was
a
lot
of
heartbreak
and
she's
actually
invited
us
to
a
meeting
that
they're
having
next
Thursday,
which
I
plan
on
attending
and
so
that
we
can
hear
their
concerns,
but
they
have
a
unified
organization.
That
is
that's
doing
some
powerful
work,
but
they
need
they
need
Bridges.
You
know,
and
we
are
the
African
Heritage,
the
African-American
Heritage
commission,
we're
about
preserving
the
heritage
of
that
particular
community,
and
we
can
us
coming
together.
D
She
was
asking
for
us
to
come
together
to
to
help
support
their
mission,
their
Vision,
what
they
see
as
beneficial
for
their
community.
F
And
just
to
add
to
that,
because
that's
just
a
perfect
segue
Michael
in
terms
of
looking
at,
like
the
Legacy
neighborhoods,
that's
developing
right
now
in
Asheville.
How
can
African-American
Heritage
commission
really
help
scale
up
these
neighborhoods,
looking
at
Burton
Street
as
a
great
model
Shiloh,
you
know
he's
in
like
all
of
these
neighborhoods,
which
I
feel
like
Brenda,
and
you
could
correct
me.
There
they're
like
actually
becoming
like
certified
as
unable
to
is
it
Association
or
what's
the
correct
term.
If
somebody
could
excuse.
F
So,
to
get
to
the
next
level
of
just
being
unified
as
these
Legacy
neighborhoods,
it
would
be
great
like
what
Mike
was
saying,
supporting
South
Side,
United
and
Shiloh,
all
the
neighborhoods.
That's
trying
to
scale
up
similar
to
Burton
Street
foreign.
A
Dodge
is
a
project
of
the
subcommittee
that
I
did.
We
or
I
have
proposed
that
the
submission
conduct
a
city-wide
African-American
community,
and
we
can
begin
the
process
of
planning
that
Summit
for
either
the
spring
or
summer
or
fall
and
start
engaging
with
Community
organizations
around
their
participation.
A
F
This
something
is
this
similar
to
the
African-Americans
in
Western,
North,
Carolina
event
that
used
that
took
place
prior
to
covet.
Do
you
remember
I,
think
that
was
that
started
with
Dr
Waters?
A
There
you
go:
okay,
okay,
okay,
okay,
the
concept
is
somewhat
different
and
what
we're
looking
for
is
community-based
participants,
and
so
the
idea
is
that
the
community
tells
or
talks
to
us
about
what
they've
done
and
how
do
we
are
accomplishing
and
I
believe
that,
as
we
really
at
the
end
of
the
process
that
we
award
a
group
or
have
a
scaled
presentation
of
trophies
and
other
substantial
Awards.
A
B
A
C
Okay,
hold
that
thought,
we're
gonna,
move
on
and
we'll
come
back
to
back
to
it
now.
The
next
honor
is
annual
annual
report
review.
I,
don't
know
if
any,
if
you
all
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that,
but.
B
C
Do
that,
if
you
guys
haven't
taken
a
look
at
it,
we
probably
can
do
that.
The
only
thing
that
I
was
kind
of
concerned
with
the
report.
Thank
you
is
just
the
the
for
the
future.
You
know
I
know
we
really
haven't
set
a
budget
or
anything
but
I'm,
really
hoping
that
we'll
be
able
to
contr.
You
know
set
a
budget
for
the
for
this
year
where
this
year,
so
we
can
do
some
more
things.
It
would
be
great
if
we
can
do
this.
B
B
and
then,
as
a
part
of
that,
you
want
to
put
any
goals
for
this
year.
So
part
of
those
goals
could
be
you
don't
have
to
have
the
budget
fleshed
out,
but
you
could
say
you
will
be
working
on
a
budget
for
activities
this
year.
To
you
know,
maybe
you
want
to
have
that
done
in
February,
okay
and
then
that
you're
working
on
some
ideas
around
an
African-American
Summit
to
highlight
the
contributions
and
work
that
people
are
doing
in
their
communities.
That's
some
future
work.
Now
your
commit!
B
You
had
a
committee
that
was
looking
at
some
of
that
I
think
Ashley
wilberdeen
yeah,
so
you
have
some
of
that
you
can
put
in
the
report
and
then
everything
else
I
had
was
just
things
that
you
did
for
last
year.
The
to
make
that.
C
Yeah
that
helps
it
makes
sense,
I
think
the
it
was
some
kind
of
mix
up
like
with
the
groups,
so
I,
don't
know
how
I
guess,
with
the
gold
planning
and
I,
don't
know
how
the
names
got
sort
of
mixed
up,
I
think
that
was
a
just
a
little
confusion.
B
It's
on
here
it's
there
was
a
gold
Planning
Group
for
2023
and
that's
Ashley
wilberdeen
and
you
I
didn't
know.
If
anybody
else
joined
you
and
then
a
review
of
other
groups
and
commissions
was
similar.
Remember
there
was
a
working.
What
was
that
document?
He
just
kind
of
put
a
bunch
of
people
who
do
what
you
do
all
over
the
world.
C
But
I
guess
I'm.
Sorry
excuse
me
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
like
actually
actually
Ashley
and
I
was
on
the
other
review,
other
groups
and
commissions
sign
which.
C
B
It
was
on
the
meeting.
You
know
you
have
a
recording,
so
I
don't
want
to
go
back
and
check
it.
Maybe
she
didn't
have
chance,
but
what
you
could
do
is
the
other
thing
you
can
do
as
part
of
this
report
is,
you
did
in
December
form
those
committees
right,
so
that
can
be
part
of
we
can.
You
can
add
that
I'll
share
this
document
with
you
and
I'll
share
with
all
of
you,
and
you
just
put
that
in
there.
B
This
would
be
all
of
what
you
did
in
2022
and
then-
and
you
did
a
lot.
You
know
you
represented,
you
know
with
pack
Square
you
work
with
the
Juneteenth
folks.
I
mean
there
was.
There
was
a
lot
of
action
that
was
going
on,
and
then
you
formed
those
two
committees
we'll
get
the
names
right
on
the
report
and
then
for
2023.
B
What
you
want
to
do
is
put
some
of
the
things
we
talked
about
and
some
of
the
things
that
you're
going
to
give
us
a
report
about
I'm
assuming
today
and
then
you're
you're,
pretty
much
done
we'll.
Let
the
board
members
that
were
active
as
of
2022
and
then
we'll
go
from
there
that
that's
as
simple
as
it
is
I
think.
Okay,
that
help.
B
Next
Saturday
the
21st,
but
if
we
could
have
it
done,
everybody
reviewed
it
by
next
Thursday
and
I'll
get
it
to
the
clerk.
You
can
send
it.
You
know
we'll
work
on
that
document
and
then
we
share
it
with
the
clerk's
office
when
you're
done.
Okay,
yeah.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
Absolutely,
absolutely
I'll
make
sure
to
share
that
before
I
go
home
this
evening,.
C
So
next,
on
the
so
the
goal
plan
and
well,
this
is
where
it
got
kind
of
tricky
with
me
with
the
gold
planning.
I,
don't
know
I,
some
other
members
can
speak
on.
It
is
I
personally
felt
like
some
of
these
things,
we've
kind
of
pondered
more
than
once
for
a
while.
You
know
what
I
mean
and
with
this
with
this
new
strategy
that
we
got
on
and
and
and
the
the
new
team
that
we
have
I
just
feel
like
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
moving
forward.
C
I
I
had
an
opportunity
like
to
look
at
some
other
African-American
Heritage
commissions,
and
what
they're
doing
early
on
I
found
out
we're
we're
so
much
which
is
not
on
the
list
that
we
have
in
the
paperwork,
but
was
was
so
close
to
what
Winston-Salem
African-American
Heritage
commission
is
where
there
is
a
relationship
with
the
city,
and
so
you
know
we
got
to
have
a
a
working,
a
working
working
environment
and
and
and
not
to
leave
the
county
out
either
the
city
and
the
county,
because
the
county
is
very
much
a
big
part
of
of
what
we're
going.
C
What
we're
doing?
That's
Asheville
bunkum
y'all,
so
you
know
it's
it's.
Yes,
it's
pretty
huge!
So
with
that
said,
you
we're
reviewing
all
the
well,
not
all,
but
several
commissions
I
think
that
we
are
in
a
unique
position.
You
know
to
she
really
do
some
some
great
things
and
I
think
we're
beyond
the
part
where
you
know.
As
far
as
the
homework
is
like
what
others
are
doing,
we
can
actually
form
this
thing
and
shake
this
thing
like
to
what's
needed
in
astrological
area.
C
So
that's
the
way
I
feel
about
that
any
comments
and
concerns
any
suggestions
for
any
other
members.
D
Commissioner
Hayes
here,
Kevin
Griffin,
you
know
we
have
discussion
and
I
think
as
we
look
at
our
list
of
goals
and
then,
when
we
look
at
you
know
the
the
power
of
the
people
that
are
now
a
part
of
this
commission
as
well.
D
I
think
it's
imperative
that
we
look
back
at
those
goals
and
say
like
look
at
things
that
we've
already
attempted
or
have
done
or
just
seem
obsolete
right
now
at
this
moment,
because
right
now
we're
more
connected
to
community
than
we've
than
we've
been
since
I've
been
a
part
of
this
commission
and
I
think
it's
imperative
that
we
take
advantage
of
that
and
find
out
really.
You
know
where
we're
connecting
we're
listening,
we're
hearing
we're
seeing
where
we
fit
in
and
the
work
needs
to
be
where
it
needs
to
be.
D
D
Let's
talk,
let's
see,
let's
see
what
everybody
thinks
we
should
move
collectively
and
then
let's
look
at
it
that
way,
because
when
we
look
at
the
power
of
Tiffany
and
my
brother,
Tyshawn
and
and
who
we
already
have,
let's
collectively
see
where
we
can
and
I
hate
to
use
the
word
where
we
yield
the
most
influence,
but
where
we
can
be
more
impactful
for
those
who
yield
the
influence
like
South
Side
initiative
like
Burton
Street
lifestyle.
Like
those
you
know
those
black
Legacy
areas
right
and
move
that
way,.
C
F
Oh,
that's
a
great
point
because
just
thinking
with
the
work
that
has
already
been
done
with
this
commission,
it's
like
it's
a
Grassroots
level
movement,
so
it's
like
hitting
the
ground
running
already
and
just
weighs
in
and
I
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
goals
but
ways
in
which,
like
these
Legacy,
neighborhoods
and
and
the
work
that
has
been
laid
out
like
from
the
ancestors
that
came
before
us,
it's
like
there
is
already
a
road
map,
and
this
could
definitely
be
like
the
unit
and
I'm
saying
that
to
say
just
thinking
in
terms
of
how
has
the
harm
continue
like?
F
How
is
this
harm
continuing
to
happen
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
the
right
moment
to
say,
but
just
for
example,
Juneteenth
and
the
way
that
movement
transpired?
How
can
we
support
the
Grassroots
component
of
Juneteenth
to
still
satisfy
not
just
what
the
city
is
doing,
but
what
can
happen
collectively
around
around
bunk
of
Ashford
and
Buncombe
County,
so
I'm
saying?
How
can
we
support
those
doing
Grassroots
movements,
especially
with
like
Juneteenth
and
other
things,
that's
getting
ready
to
happen?
C
Very
good,
let's
see,
I
got
a
hand
somewhere
Donna.
Oh
miss
Mills,.
B
I
want
to
say
something
because
we
are
unique
community
and
African-American
Community,
as
we've
been
working
on
reparations.
Miss
Tiff
is
an
alternate
for
the
city
on
the
reparations
commission
and
it's
a
lot
of
hard
work,
but
a
lot
of
good
wonderful
work
going
on.
We
people
I
think
people
have
not
always
appreciated
neighborhoods,
but
when
you
go
other
places
they
don't
have.
What
we
have
so
Easton
knows
their
history,
shallow,
no
Day,
history,
Bourbon
Street,
know
that
his
South
Side
got
it
going
on.
B
They
are
pushing
their
pounding
and
so
you've
got
those
energies
going
to
where
now
Leonard
and
Rashida
and
Z
that
group's
gonna
come
back
in
and
talk
to
y'all
about
ways
in
which
they
can
help
do
some
engagement
and
then
building
capacity
for
people,
like
you,
said
Tiffany
the
Grassroots
y'all
got
y'all
got
all
the
folks
and
the
tools
you
have
here.
Please
remember:
you
have
a
budget
of
9
500.
B
If
you
want
to
use
some
of
that
money
to
help
neighborhoods
or
to
do
things
in
neighborhoods
around
art,
history
and
preservation,
you
have
that,
but
I
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
that
we
have
what
we
may
not
have
The
Big
Industry,
the
big
Banks,
the
big
whatever,
but
we
have
made
it
work
in
this
in
this
in
this
community
and
I
think
what
reparations
is
doing:
equity
County
through
equity
and
it's
you
know,
history
around
the
libraries
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff
I
would
love
to
have
can't
cut
y'all
come
and
talk
to
y'all
about
the
work
they're
doing
over
there.
B
C
B
Don't
deny
I'm
hoping
that
we're
gonna
I'm
hoping
one
day,
I'm
gonna
tell
you.
You
got
somebody
waiting
in
the
queue,
but
not
tonight
it
did
start
thundering
and
lightning.
So
I'm
sure
people
are
hiding
out.
C
Oh,
let's
see
here,
we
go
just
I
just
want
to
throw
this
out
there,
real
quick
on
Thursday
January,
the
19th,
the
the
history
of
the
old
shallow
community.
They
haven't.
It
starts
at
5
30
at
shallow
AMZ
AME
Zion,
Church,
95
Shiloh
Road.
C
Over
the
past
two,
the
past
year,
Johnny
Baxter
Award
winners
in
the
UNC
Asheville
history,
students,
Rebecca,
Kelly
and
Tori
Rigsby
have
researched
the
history
of
the
old
shallow
community
and
its
move
to
shallow's
present
location.
So
this
is
happening.
C
Thursday
January,
the
19th,
which
is
also
the
same
Thursday
of
the
South
Side
United
meeting.
So
if
you
can
attend,
if
anyone
can
volunteer
to
attend,
that
would
be
great.
C
I
think
we
should
explore
this
Summit
thing
really
I,
don't
know
if
we
can
plan
some
time
between
now
and
our
next
meeting
to
have
a
couple
sub
groups.
So
we
can
start
getting
things
into
motion.
We
got
to
go.
We
got
to
be
moving
because
Leonard
is
looking
at
us.
B
So,
just
to
be
clear
for
your
for
your
next
agenda,
you
you're
going
to
look
at
maybe
report.
The
committee
engagement
group
is
going
to
come
from
the
county
to
talk
to
you
guys
and
I'll
get
some
information
for
them
anything
they
want
to
share
previous
to
the
meeting
which
I
think
that'll
be
wonderful.
B
G
I
think
right
now
we
just
wanted
to
focus
on
the
public
engagement
piece
of
it,
just
kind
of
setting
some
of
that
foundational
information
on
how
we
can
best
move
forward
and
utilizing
some
of
the
infrastructure
that's
already
laid
out
between
the
city
and
as
for
how
we
already
communicate
with
community
and
how
we
can
kind
of
elevate.
This
commission,
through
those
networks.
B
That
sounds
wonderful
and
then
you're
going
to
come
back
with
just
some
some
starting
discussions
around
the
summit
and
then,
if
there's
something
you
need
between
now
and
your
next
meeting,
like
you
have
questions
about
resources,
things
of
that
nature.
Just
just
give
me,
you
know
how
to
find
me
I'll
help
with
that,
but
yeah
it
looks
like
y'all
got
a
lot
to
do.
That's
a
lot
just
planning
this
stuff,
the
stuff
and
then
I
do
think
really
just
doing
that.
B
Focus
on
that,
because
once
you
hear
what
the
County's
engagement
team
I
mean
they're
out
there,
they
are
really
have
a
hold
in
the
community,
doing
some
amazing
stuff,
and
then
you
can
find
out
where
you
can
latch
on
and
where
they
can
build
an
infrastructure.
For
you
guys
to
do
a
lot
of
this
engagement.
I
think
it'd
be
great,
so
I've
got
those
two
things
down.
B
You
will
get
an
email
from
me,
probably
first
thing
in
the
morning:
I'll
finish
it
up
tonight
and
then,
with
everything
we
talked
about
tonight,
I'll
go
back
and
look
and
see
what
the
correction
is
about.
Those
do
you
still
want
those
two
committees
or
you
just
want
to
dissolve
those
for
now.
Yeah.
B
Those
okay,
not
a
problem
and
then
I'll
get
everything
out
to
you
guys.
So
you
can
go
ahead
and
have
an
idea.
What
your
draft
minutes
and
other
things
look
like
and
then
we'll
be
back.
F
I
was
just
I'm
curious
about
the
MLK
activities.
That's
taking
place
this
weekend
and
if
the
you
know,
this
commission
is
doing
anything
or
attending
or
have
a
table
or
anything
like
that.
B
We
have
not
bought
in
the
past
bought
tables
for
boards.
In
the
past
now
did
we
did
the
city?
Does
an
ad
individually,
the
police,
the
police
and
fire
do
separate
ads
and
have
a
table
and
then
I
think
the
County's
doing
the
same
thing
so
I'll
be
there.
B
We
could,
in
the
future,
think
about
doing
Senate
representatives.
There.
F
Does
need
a
ticket
just
shoot
me
an
email.
D
Hey
y'all,
so
my
my
my
volume
went
dead.
That's
why
I
went
off
so
I,
just
heard
tickets
tickets
to
what.
F
Lastly,
is
this
commission
aware
of
tanahisi
Coast,
that's
coming
in
February,
so
there's
extra
tickets
if
anyone
needs
or
if
Community
needs,
then
yeah.
E
B
You
I
did
get
an
email
from
UNCA
Community
engagement,
I'll
forward
that
to
you
they're
giving
tickets
to
community
groups,
I,
don't
know
about
individuals,
I
I!
Think
that's
what
it
said,
but
I
have
a
ticket
to
go
I
plan
to
be
there,
so
it
is
free.
You
just
have
to
register.
Yes,
I'll
get
that
to
you
all.
C
D
One
thing
so,
commissioner,
Hayes
here
so
I,
know
that
we
are,
you
know
with
African-American
Heritage
commission
and
it's
very
important
that
we
know
our
history
in
order
to
know
where
we're
going.
I
do
want
to
put
this
out
there
in
order
for
us
to
know
where
we're
going.
I
think
it's
compared
to
that.
We
started
inviting
some
of
our
young
folks
in
the
community
to
be
a
part
of
these
meetings
being
that
we
are
online,
so
I'm
suggesting
that
we
reach
out
to
organizations
that
that
have
their
young
folk
involved.
D
My
daddy
taught
me
that
I
think
the.
Why
am
I
still
had
you
I
know
some
youth
agency,
Center
I
know
we
have
you
thinking
Mojo,
there's
youth
everywhere.
That
might
that
might
want
to
sit
for
an
hour
to
to
listen
to
us,
but
also,
hopefully,
they'll,
learn
how
this
process
works.
So
they
can
also
bring
up
what
they
want,
what
they
you
know
for
because
they
are
the
future.
D
D
C
No
I
just
said
okay,
so
all
right,
so
it's
if
it's
not
anything
I
will
adjourn
the
meeting
unless
that's
in
it
object.
Oh,
you
won.
No
okay.
Unless
there's
any
objections,
any
objections-
oh
yes,
Tiffany.
F
I
do
just
wanted
to
also
throw
throw
out
the
the
reparation
stakeholders
Association
of
Asheville
rsaa,
and
that's
that's
a
Grassroots
movement.
That's
taking
place
to
help
offset
the
work
that
the
reparations
commission
is
doing
and
what
it
is
is
a
membership.
So
we
become
a
member
of
this
Association
and
then
we
have
the
autonomy
to
say
how
money
is
divvied
out
past
when
the
reparations
commission
term
is
up
which
will
be
coming
up
soon.
So
it's
called
rsaa
and
you
can
find
it
through
the
RJC
website
or
through
zedeg.
F
But
you
also
can
just
Google
reparations
stakeholders
Association
of
Asheville,
so
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out.
