A
B
Folks,
we're
now
live.
Unfortunately,
we
have
a
few
people
missing
and
not
sure.
What's
going
on
so
we're
going
to
have
to
cancel
and
reschedule
the
meeting.
I
want
to
thank
the
county
for
being
here
on
the
county
community
engagement
team
for
being
here,
Miss
Rashida
I
think
Zakia
Bell
Rogers
was
going
to
join
you
and
also
Leonard,
who
is
our
representative
for
African-American
Heritage,
here,
Diamond,
couch,
Sherry,
Lucas
and
Tiffany.
We
appreciate
your
efforts
to
be
here
and
then
our
wonderful
vice
mayor,
who
is
also
our
liaison.
B
We
will
reconvene
in
March
I,
think
it's
March
9th
the
second
Thursday
at
4
30
and
then,
hopefully
we
can
figure
out
what's
happening
in
the
interim
I
think
we
could
give
a
couple
of
updates
the
survey
for
the
boards
and
commissions-
hopefully
you
had
a
chance
to
participate.
I
will
send
that
out.
This
Dynamic
report
repeal
from
public
input
so
I'll
get
that
to
all
the
board
members,
probably
by
the
top
of
the
week.
B
I
try
to
do
a
quick
email
follow-up
one
after
the
meeting
and
then
the
next
meeting
of
equity
and
engagement,
which
is
the
new
Council
committee,
is
February
20.
B
first
and
then
we'll
be
talking
about
two
things
under
equity,
which
is
the
at
the
audit
recommendation
where
we
are
with
that,
we
will
have
had
the
community
reparations
Commission
meeting
on
the
20th,
so
we're
going
to
be
doing
an
update
and
then
your
chair,
as
far
as
I,
know
we'll
be
doing
he'll,
be
we're
piloting
having
boards
go
to
the
different
Council
committees
to
talk
about
their
annual
report.
C
But
currently,
right
now
with
from
the
county,
I,
don't
have
any
updates
to
give
I
know
it's
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
discussion
with
the
council,
but
in
terms
of
just
some
Community,
not
Community
engagement,
but
for
my
communication
department
at
the
Buncombe
County.
We
would
like
to
kind
of
do
an
interview
with
possibly
the
chair
and
some
members
of
the
council
committee
to
just
kind
of
highlight.
C
African-American
Heritage
Council
just
send
to
coincide
where
African-American
black
history
month,
just
to
kind
of
elevate
the
profile
of
the
organization
and
let
Community
know
what
the
organization
is
about
and
the
work
that
they're
doing.
So
that's
one
thing
we
wanted
to
present
and
if
any
of
the
committee
members
here
today
are
interested,
please
just
reach
out
to
us
to
kind
of
set
up
that,
and
we
would
like
sometime
this
month
to
kind
of
get
it
up
within
the
month
of
February.
C
So
if
you're
interested
in
just
sharing
your
your
take
and
what
the
committee
means
to
you
just
reach
out
to
us,
so
we
can
post
that
on
on
the
County
website
and
just
kind
of
get
information
out
to
the
community.
Thank
you
and.
B
D
B
Okay,
you
want
to
just
start
the
meeting.
We
do
not
have
a
quorum,
so
we
won't
be
able
to
vote
on
anything.
The
only
thing
we
had
to
vote
on
was
minutes,
so
if
we
want
to
move
ahead
on,
if
we
have
somebody
joining
the
interim
we'll

that
later,.

Steph
liaison

C
D
Thank
you
we'll
move
on.
Next,
we
have
city
council
liaison
Sandra
Kilgore.
E
Good
afternoon,
everyone
just
have
a
couple
of
updates,
basically
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
the
last
council
meeting
the
city
council
voted
unanimously
to
approve
the
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
develop
a
scope
of
work
for
an
official
audit
to
the
response
from
the
community
reparations
commission
to
immediately
recommendation
to
cease
harm,
impacting
the
African-American
community
that
passed
unanimously.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
the
outcome,
and
hopefully
we'll
have
some
good
results
to
report
back.
E
We
also
City
authorized
a
resolution
authorized
the
city
manager
to
execute
an
inter-local
agreement
with
Buncombe
County
Sheriff's
Office
for
the
use
of
the
fuses,
real-time
criminal
intelligence,
camera
system.
Some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
this
Buncombe
County
has
been
using
this
for
a
while,
but
now
we're
able
to
city
is
going
to
actually
work
with
them
to
actually
bring
those
cameras
into
the
city.
One
place
that
we
actually
I
know
that
the
cameras
will
be
is
in
the
Pritchett
Park
and
then
another
one
down
by
Lexington
and
hawasi.
E
The
purpose
of
these
cameras
is
sort
of
just
to
be
able
to
give
real-time
updates
for
a
lot
of
the
I
know.
A
lot
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
a
lot
of
things
going
on
downtown
a
lot
of
the
break-ins
and
all
kinds
of
things
like
that.
So
we're
hoping
that
once
we
get
these
cameras
in
place
that
it
will
help
curtail
some
of
that
activity,
sometimes
people
just
need
to
know
it's
there.
E
E
You
know
we're
not
dealing
with
that
kind
of
thing
right
now,
but
because
that
has
had
some
issues
in
the
past
and
other
than
that,
okay,
I
think
one
other
thing:
the
council
also
basically
passed
a
resolution
to
set
up
a
independent,
Review
Committee
on,
for
which
we
will
analyze
the
events
and
circumstances
related
to
the
recent
water
out
outage
and
we're
looking
forward
to
that.
E
That
will
help
us
actually
be
able
to
plan
to
get
a
plan
to
deal
with
any
kind
of
activities
that
you
know
as
far
as
disasters
that
may
occur
in
the
future.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
that
outcome,
so
we
can
actually
put
things
in
place,
so
we
can
be
more
apt
to
deal
with
these
type
of
situations.
Other
than
that.
Thank
you
so
very
much
and
welcome.
G
Okay,
thank
you
hi
Sandra.
This
is
Sherry
Lucas
I'm,
the
I'm,
the
director
of
Go,
Local
and
I.
Several
of
my
business
I
have
several
business
members
downtown
and
I'd
love
to
share
the
information
with
them
about
the
cameras.
Is
there
some
place?
I
can
go
to
I,
don't
know
on
the
city
website,
someplace
to
direct
people
to
to
read
more
about
that
and
then
a
little
bit
more
information
on
who's
who
monitors
the
cameras.
How
often
are
they
monitored,
24
7
and
then
any
other
information
about
the
location
so.
E
Thank
you
the
place
to
go
to
get
more
information
about.
It
is
on
the
Buncombe
County
Sheriff's
Department
website,
because
they're
the
ones
that
already
have
it
in
process
they'll
just
sort
of
be
helping
us,
you
know,
set
up
these
cameras.
The
one
thing
about
these
cameras,
too,
is
a
lot
of
the
business
owners
will
actually
be
able
to
tap
in
and
place
their
own
cameras.
E
Basically,
you
know
within
this
system,
but
so
as
far
as
we
only
have,
if
I
remember
correctly
so
far,
it's
only
three
locations
and
I
do
remember
that
one
was
purchase.
Park
one
was
down
on
Lexington,
not
sure
where
the
other
one
will
be,
but,
like
I
said
the
best
place
to
get
the
information
or
whatever
is
on
the
Buncombe
County
Sheriff's
website.
B
Yeah
I
just
want
to
add
Sandra,
it
was
pack
card,
Pritchard,
Park
and
then
down
at
Hiawassee
and
Cherry
Street.
So.
D
Any
more
questions,
thank
you
for
the
update,
councilwoman
Kilgore,
we'll
move
right
along
to
number
four
on
where
there's
no
unfinished
business.
So
it's
all
about
new
business.
New
business
is
an
update
for
the
pack
Square
vision
of
project.
There
is
a
meeting
on
the
17th
of
this
month
to
review
the
community
input.
D
So
all
the
advisors
will
be
there
and
we'll
come
back
with
a
a
more
in
the
in
detailed
update
about.
What's
going
on
with
that,
so
next
on
the
list
is
the
African-American
Heritage
engagement
options
presented
presentation
by
Buncombe,
County
communications
and
public
engagement.
D
Okay,
so
next
we
have
a
presentation
by
bunker
County
communications
and
public
engagement,
team,
Rasheeda,
Hall,
Leonard
Jones,
welcome.
H
Thank
you
I'm,
so
grateful
to
be
on
tonight
to
talk
about
public
engagement
in
African-American,
Heritage,
commission.
This
has
been
dear
to
my
heart
for
so
many
years.
I
was
actively
involved
in
2018
and
very
thankful,
because
we
were
able
to
use
the
funding
to
do
this
wonderful
map
and
have
markers
and
I'm
in
many
of
our
historic
neighborhoods.
H
We
have
plenty
of
these,
so
I
asked
Aaron
and
Michael
and
Leonard
to
meet
with
me
one
day
and
give
me
a
copy
of
the
African-American
resolution
signed
on
Jerry,
the
14th,
January,
14,
2014
and
I
know
it
is
I'm
going
to
read
B
and
C,
that's
dear
to
my
heart,
so
I
was
like
we
got
to
do
something
right,
so
it
says:
develop
a
plan
to
identify,
create,
encourage,
promote
and
Implement
projects
that
were
recognized,
increase
and
expand.
H
So
I
said
this:
is
such
a
beautiful,
Commission
and
I
want
everybody
in
Buncombe
County
to
know
about
this
Commission,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
We
have
a
lot
of
beautiful
sights
in
history
that
African-Americans
have
contributed
to
Buncombe
County
and
should
be
known
so
I'm
very
excited
about
this
Leonard.
To
tell
you
about
this,
I
love,
this
kind
of
work,
I,
love
public.
H
Engagement,
that's
our
because
I'm
a
native
here
in
Buncombe
County
am
I
Frozen,
because
I
tend
to
do
that.
Okay,
so
I
met
with
Mr,
Hayes
and
chair
Griffin
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
I
wanted
to
discuss
a
proposal
with
the
board
to
help
engage
more
of
our
populations
across
Buncombe
County,
so
I
suggested
that
the
team,
because
it's
our
responsibility
as
well
as
the
city,
to
help
support
that
as
a
County
employee,
a
Buncombe
County
employee.
So
we
talked
about
developing
Palm
cards
that
you
guys
can
help
us
kind
of
design.
H
Put
your
beautiful
picture
on
everybody
talk
to
our
Communications
and
engagement,
videographer
Nick,
who
said
he
would
love
to
take
that
picture
and
then
give
it
out
to
community
members.
So
we
will
have
a
picture.
We
would
have
the
day
of
the
meetings
the
the
Google
me
website,
where
people
can
come
on
to
and
telephone
numbers
that
people
have
conversation
want
to
have
questions
that
you
open
to
talk
to
we're.
Also
doing
this
wonderful
project
with
the
Y
miles
called
the.
Why
my
archives
right.
H
So
we,
a
couple
of
months
ago,
Leonard
and
I,
and
my
team
met
with
special
collections
with
the
Buncombe
County
library
and
we
went
to
the
Walmart
and
collected
all
this
beautiful
art
documents
and
is
stored
in
the
special
collections
in
Buncombe
County.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
meet
with
the
American
Heritage
commission,
the
library
services
and
we
have
Alexander
from
the
ymi
and
do
this
project
the
last
week
of
the
month
every
month
to
look
through
all
the
archives
right,
because
we
want
to
save
that
history.
H
That's
one
thing
also.
We
would
like
to
really
support
and
have
the
African-American
Commission
on
wres,
Leonard
and
Zakia.
They
do
a
radio
show
called
tapped
in
every
other
Wednesday
at
11
30,
and
we
want
this
team
to
be
included
and
also
my
team
is
expected
and
we
always
love
to
reach
out
to
our
associations.
So
we
also
want
to
make
you
a
part
of
that
I
know
Brenda
and
I.
We
work
closely
together
when
we're
doing
that.
Lnc
meetings
and
I
saw
a
village
Roundtable.
H
We
would
love
you
to
be
a
part
of
that
and
Mr
Griffin
I
know
you
were
a
part
of
the
last
Village
Roundtable
initiative
and
it
was
fantastic.
That's
like
a
number
60
and
70
people
there
and
we
took
out
the
great
work
the
city
and
county
is
doing
so.
I
would
like
to
continue
that
and
we
also
want
to
do
at
least
five
meetings
this
year
out
in
community,
because
I
know
you
guys
copped
about
a
summit
and
how
big
you
wanted
to
be
in
Asheville,
but
we
got
to
get
out
there.
H
We
got
to
go
to
neighborhoods,
go
door
to
door
spread
the
word
go
out
the
Palm
cars
and
we're
committed
as
a
county
and
City
to
be
able
to
help
support
you
in
that
so
Leonard
and
I
I
talked
to
Leonard.
Today
and
I
was
like.
We
should
have
an
audit
of
identified
or
recognized
sites
in
the
community.
He
said
Rashida.
You
know
we
had
a
huge
report,
it's
like
70
Pages,
that's
already
been
done,
so
that
could
be
our
blueprint
of
how
we
start
to
work
in
community
right.
H
So
that's
just
some
of
my
proposed
ideas
that
I
would
love
to
help
support
you
in
we
kind
of
already
got
started,
but
I
don't
know
if
you
have
to
vote
on
this,
but
I'm
really
excited
about
this
project.
I
want
to
stay
committed
to
it
and
support.
My
team
is
committed.
My
supervisor
knows
that
and
we're
we're
just
committed
to
this
process
and
I
really.
Thank
you
for
having
me
here.
Leonard
did
you
want
to
add
to
it.
C
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
report
that
you
was
referring
to,
that
was
the
African-American
Heritage
resource
survey
and
I
believe
it
came
out
like
last
fall
and
so
that's
I
believe
it
was
published
on
the
city's
website
as
well.
But
I
know
we
can
send
a
link
out
to
the
group
which
that
so
I
know
the
first
70
page
is
over
70
Pages.
The
first
70
pages
of
that
document
has
a
lot
of
black
history.
C
Just
kind
of
high
black
people
emerged
in
this
area,
the
increase
in
population
of
black
people
in
the
20s
and
up
into
urban
renewal,
and
then
just
some
of
the
challenges,
and
it
also
highlights
a
lot
of
our
historical,
African-American,
neighborhoods
and
just
kind
of
give
different
details
and
stories
about
that.
But
it
really
just
kind
of
gave
you
that
black
experience
and
really
opened
a
lot
of
people's
eyes
to
what
that.
C
What
that
story
is,
and
so
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
way
to
just
kind
of
kick
things
off
and
as
well
as
it
does
as
a
survey
do
go
within
all
those
communities
and
kind
of
identify
all
those
historical
buildings
and
structures
that
we
currently
still
have,
and
so
that
was
again,
the
African-American
Heritage
resource
survey
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
I
know
what
Rasheed
to
talk
about
with
kind
of
elevating
the
pro
profile
of
the
African-American
Heritage
Council
I
know
Nick.
That
does
a
lot
about
videography.
C
If
we
would
like
to
highlight
the
African-American
Heritage
committee
this
month,
I'm
just
kind
of
coincide
with
black
history
month
and
so
just
if
anyone's
interested
to
be
a
part
of
that
share
your
input
to
that
videography,
along
with
that
article,
on
what
this
commission
means
to
you.
What's
the
impact?
What's
the
role
of
it
going
forward,
what
we've
done
in
the
past
to
kind
of
just
share
with
Community,
please
just
reach
out
to
me.
Brenda
had
mentioned
in
the
email.
C
She'll
have
my
contact
information,
but
that's
something
we
also
would
like
to
actually
get
on
get
started
and
publish
this
month.
So
that's
all
I
have.
D
Thank
you,
someone
has
their
hand
Brenda
go.
Yes,.
B
I,
thank
you,
chair,
Brenda,
Mills.
That
resource
survey
is
the
one
that
Alex
Cole
came
to
go
over
with
you
guys
I
take
towards
the
end
of
last
year.
So
when
I
sent
out
the
follow-up
email,
I
will
have
all
of
that
information.
There
and
I've
written
up
a
little
a
lot
of
the
ideas
that
Rasheed
and
them
have
I'll
kind
of
touch
base
with
them,
and
then
you
can
make
a
decision
between
now
and
then
to
communicate
with
them
about
the
videography
and
then
we'll
have
them
that
we
can
have
them.
B
Have
a
a
continued
update
at
your
meeting
until
you
decide
on
some
projects
that
you
want
to
do
and
don't
forget,
you
have
funding
for
some
stuff
I
think
you
still
have
a
balance
of
9
500.
H
And
what
we
can
do,
Brenda
too,
is
that
we'll
formulate
a
Communications
and
public
engagement
plan,
and
then
we
can
do
that
together
as
a
commission,
if
that's
okay,
because
I
would
like
your
input
and
then
we'll
all
have
like
a
working
plan
that
we
can
keep
up
on
the
monthly
basis
kind
of
tap
in.
Would
that
be
okay?
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
to
have
a
vote
or
I
don't
know
but
I
just
we
can
do
a
plan
together
and
then
people
have
their
tasks
and
we
really
want
to
support
you
all.
D
I
H
D
B
I
just
want
to
keep
highlighting.
You
do
have
a
work
plan
that
has
a
lot
of
this
information
already
in
it.
So
Rasheeda
I
will
share
the
work
plan
with
you.
I
mean
it's
on
their
website,
but
I'll
share
it
in
the
email
that
I
sent
out
I'll,
send
it
out
there
and
then
some
ideas
that
Joseph
Fox
had
come
up
with
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
what
you
guys
are
talking
about.
Okay,
thank
you.
D
B
H
So
what
we'll
do
is
I'll
look
at
those
goals
and
we'll
have
some
tasks,
some
smart
goals
and
then
we'll
we'll
all
you
know
we'll
all
have
our
tasks
and
then
we'll
meet
up
and
say:
I've
done
this
I've
done
this.
They
want
to
hear
this
because
you're
going
to
have
to
get
your
name
out
there,
especially
if
you
want
to
have
this
big
Summit
and
you
want
people
to
come
in
and
buy
in
we're.
Gonna
have
to
do
that.
So
I'm
not
scared
to
go
to
any
neighborhood
Leonard.
H
To
tell
you
that,
and
we
have
to
talk
about
the
African-American
Heritage
I
want
Barnesville
to
know.
I
won't
say
any
much
to
know.
I
want
everybody
to
know
that
this
is
going
on,
because
this
is
our
culture,
and
this
is
our
heritage,
and
we've
been
a
part
of
this
community
for
a
long
time.
So
I'm
ready,
Sherry.
G
Thank
you,
chairman
Rashida
you're,
so
awesome.
Thank
you.
I
was
I.
I
was
the
brochure
you
held
up.
I
can't
because
you're,
a
little
tiny,
rectangle,
great
and
I,
can
find
that.
Where.
C
G
C
We
can
get
you
as
many
as
you
need
here.
H
Yeah,
this
commission
helped
that
I
mean
the
team
did
the
city
and
the
county.
We
worked
together
to
do
this,
but
it
was
the
the
funding
came
out
of
this
commission
to
make
this
happen.
So
we
we
put
a
lot
of
work
in
with
a
lot
of
our
neighborhoods
Brenda
Tate.
We
had
a
lot
of
meetings.
There
was
a
lot
going
on.
It
took
us
quite
some
time
to
do
it.
H
D
Well,
thank
you,
let's
see
Miss
debolo
is
she
I,
don't
see
her?
Is
she
still
here
she's.
B
Still
here
and
Sherry,
do
you
still
have
a
you
still
have
your
hand
up?
You
still
have
a
question.
Oh.
B
Sorry
about
that,
that's
okay
and
chair
Griffin.
If
you
could
we
just
need
to
vote
for
the
minutes?
I
think
we
still
have
a
quorum
votes.
Oh
I
thought
we
did.
Okay.
D
Hey,
it's
been
that
kind
of
day.
Trust
me
yeah,
so
we
had
mentioned
what
you
could
go
is.
D
A
We
we're
gonna
have
to
re
redo
it
because
the
no
one
really
spoke
of
for
next
week.
It
was
all
about
like
pretty
much
yesterday
the
main
day,
so,
okay,
it
would
have
to
fall
into
next
week.
Okay,.
D
So
we'll
get
y'all
the
information
as
soon
as
possible,
but
we
we've
been
working
on
it,
though.
So
what's
next
any
questions
for
Rashida
Hall,
Leonard
Jones.
Any
questions
comments.
D
Right
so
we'll
move
on
to
there's
no
well
the
future.
I
guess
we'll
be
communicating
between
now
and
the
next
meeting.
So
the
next
regular
meeting
is
Thursday
March,
9th
2023,
and
it
remains
virtual
check
the
city's
engagement
hub
for
more
directions
on
how
to
participate.
Any
questions
before
we
sign
out
comments.
Somebody,
okay,
Miss
Deborah,.
A
I,
just
I
wanted
to
share
that
February
11th
to
the
26th
is
going
to
be
the
viewing
of
the
sculpture
artist,
Brian
Coleman,
downtown
Asheville
and
I
can
share
that
information
with
Brenda.
But
it's
based
on
the
the
pack
revision
project
and
we
were
able
to
interview
a
lot
of
different
people,
but
especially
youth.
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
come
out
this
weekend,
but
it'll
continue
to
be
up
until
the
26th.
D
Thank
you
for
that
yeah.
On
that
note,
there's
a
lot
of
things
and,
along
with
what
Miss,
Hall
and
Mr
Jones
was
saying
it's
a
lot
of
community
meetings
going
on
that.
Well,
I
was
hoping
that
we
can
sort
of
pair
up,
and
you
know,
let's
communicate
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
going
on
and
we
can
go,
we
can
attend.
Some
of
these
meets
I
know.
Shiloh
is
wanting
to
put
us
on
their
agenda
soon.
So,
let's
just
stay
in
touch
as
much
as
possible.
F
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
commissioner,
double.
Where
is
that
located
at
what
you
were
talking
about?
The
11th.
A
It's
going
to
be
down
at
pack
Square
across
from
the
art
museum,
okay,.
F
Okay,
awesome.
Thank
you.
Now
number
two
is
some
of
you
may
know:
Alexandria
Ravenel
at
ymi,
her
dad
her
father,
Mr
Alexander,
has
reached
out
to
me.
He
has
a
gentleman
in
Atlanta
that
would
like
to
come,
speak
to
the
black
community
on
financial
mindset
and
he's
trying
to
get
something
together
and
he
wants
to
know
if
there's
a
venue
available
and
I
told
him.
I
would
look
into
that,
and
so
the
guy
said
that
he
would
come
speak
to
two
or
200.
It
doesn't
matter,
I
figure.
F
If
we
get
a
venue,
then
we
can
start
telling
people
about
it.
If
anyone
wanted
to
be
interested
in
that
as
well,
but
it's
more
in
depth
than
just
the
financial
literacy
part
of
it
as
well.
It's
a
it's
a
mental.
It's
a
mental,
a
breakdown
I
think
it
would
be
very
interesting,
but
if
anyone
wants
to
do
anything
like
that
or
have
any
idea
of
a
venue,
please
reach
out-
and
let
me
know
thank.
E
You
yes,
reaching
out
to
Black
Wall
Street
I,
think
that
would
be
a
good
place
to
have
it,
because
that's
the
incubator
for
a
lot
of
small
businesses.
So
I
think
you
know
it
all
comes
in
together.
So
if
you
want
to
check
with
spring
Hackett
or
Brenda,
you
know
easy
to
check
with
them
and
I
think
that
would
be
great.
Okay,.
G
A
Also
February
25th
at
the
United
Way
conference
room,
there's
going
to
be
a
black
love
and
every
black
voice
collaboration
along
with
the
health
and
wellness
IFA
and
we're
just
going
to
be
giving
them
a
platform
to
talk
about
health
disparities
in
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County.
And
that's
going
to
be
at
12
o'clock
from
12
to
3
again
at
the
United
Way
conference
building
conference
room.
D
F
D
A
I'm
sorry,
this
is
the
last
thing.
Keep
it
coming.
The
East
End
Association
is
also
hosting
an
annual
dinner.
That's
going
to
be
coming
up,
February
23rd,
more
details
to
come
from
Renee
White,
but
she
did
share
that
with
me
and
it'll
be
a
Facebook
event
pretty
soon
once
they
launch
it,
but
that's
February
23rd.
D
The
next
regular
meeting
is
scheduled
for
Thursday
March,
the
9th
2023,
and
then
we
we're
going
to
remain
virtual
check
on
the
city's
engagement
hub
for
more
directions
on
how
to
participate
and
I'd
like
to
thank
I,
guess
and
all
the
information
and
I
hope
everyone
have
a
nice
nice
month
and
we'll
be
talking
soon.
Is
it
oh
Brandon.
F
H
Well,
I
just
need
to
start
me
when
y'all
we
can
map
this
out.
We
can
map
the
whole
Communications
and
public
engagement
map
out
and
then
check
in
with
each
other
every
two
weeks,
but
we
need
to.
We
need
to
start
moving
on
some
stuff
because
it's
about
to
be
Springtime
and
that's
a
good
time
to
go
out,
but
it'd
be
nice.
D
H
What
we
need
to
be
doing
so
we're
just
informing
people,
it's
different
levels
of
public
engagement,
we're
informing
people
and
then
we're
going
to
ask
for
some
Partnerships
there's
different
levels
of
public
engagement,
but
right
now
we
just
want
to
inform
them
of
what's
going
on
and
get
them
on.
You
know
on
this
and
have
some
questions.
A
lot
of
people
don't
know
about
it.
We
can
learn
so
much
from
each
other,
so
the
first
is
take
the
picture
so.
H
F
Okay,
that
opens
up
time
frames
on
the
doodle
poll.
I
bet.
So
if,
if
you
send
out
do
the
poll
I
promise,
I
won't
be
the
last
one
to
respond.
This
time
now,
I.
F
H
Am
okay
Tiffany?
Would
you
sit
down
and
if
it's
they're
still
doing
in
the
evening,
because
I
know
we
all
work,
we
can
do
that.
Leonard
is
a
kid
and
I
work
in
the
evening
Brandon
we
work
in
the
evenings
all
the
time.
So
just
let
us
know
where
to
work
out
and
I
can
make
sure
we
there
and
have
Nick
there
to
take
the
picture
we
might
can.
Even
do
a
video
y'all
come
on
down
to
me,
whatever
we
can
make
it
happen.
C
Clearly,
right
now
we're
holding
a
spot
for
wrn,
we'll
talk
about
the
African-American
Heritage
on
Wednesday,
the
22nd,
so
I
know
we
sent
the
invite
out
to
Aaron,
but
you
know
it's
still
covered
out
there,
but
if
more
people
want
to
show
up
to
just
make
it
a
more
engaging
kind
of
conversation
and
have
more
voices
to
speak
up
you're
more
than
welcome
we'll
be
at
wrs.
Radio
station
is
on
the
22nd
and
we
used
to
do
that.
Recording
at
11
30..
C
So
around
11
o'clock
we
arrive
at
the
wrist
station
and
it
runs
for
two
weeks
and
we
also
make
a
podcast
out
of
it.
So
once
we
get
the
podcast
and
they
videotape
it
almost
like
a
little
Howard
Stern
style.
So
we
can
even
have
that
as
something
to
post
on
the
website.
So
people
can
kind
of
see
the
faces
as
well
be
on
the
picture
but
actually
see.
Y'all
live
talking.
