A
A
Can
you
hear
me
to
unmute
and
say
present
so
we'll
come
back
to
aaron
so
as
it
stands
right
now,
we
don't
have
quorum,
but
what
we
can
do
is
we
can
go
over
items
on
our
agenda
and
we
can
make
plans
to
discuss
items
again
in
the
future.
So
the
first
thing
on
our
agenda
under
old
business
is
to
review
and
revise
our
action
steps
and
add
timelines.
A
So
in
our
action
steps,
we've
been
talking
about
things
that
we
want
to
accomplish
within
our
commission
and
we
have
changed
our
goals.
One
and
two,
I'm
sorry,
two
and
three,
and
what
I
want
to
do
now
is
for
us
to
just
be
mindful
of
those
goals
and
action
plans
and
start
developing
the
way
to
continue
and
plan
those
out.
So
we
will
not
have
a
meeting
in
december,
but
I'm
hoping
that
during
the
month
of
december
you
can
start
it.
A
Any
questions
on
that
okay,
so
our
item
b
on
our
agenda
is
to
present
costs
and
details
of
the
multi-use
space
at
the
ymi.
Dwayne
is
not
on
the
meeting
and
he
had
that
report.
So
we're
going
to
table
that
discussion
until
our
next
meeting
and
one
thing
I
want
to
get
your
input
on-
is
our
item
c
talking
about
our
community
engagement
work
group.
So
we
have
a
couple
items
that
we
want
to
discuss,
and
so
we
we're
thinking
that
it
may
be
feasible
to
have
a
work
group
to
get
these
items
underway.
A
B
All
right
well,
thank
you,
and
normally
I
would
just
toss
mr
griffin
under
the
bus
and
ask
him
to
answer
this
because
he's
a
professional
in
this
so
good
morning,
sir,
I'm
for
the
community
engagement
worker,
I
think
being
connected
with
the
community,
is
huge.
I
mean
it's
really
why
we're
here
so
as
we
say
everything
we
try
to
pass
through
through
the
community
to
get
their
voice.
What
I'm
finding
is
there
is
a
disconnect
in
the
community
about
how
to
go
about
reaching
everyone.
B
The
street
renaming
I'm
hearing
from
a
lot
of
people
they're,
really
not
so
much
into
that,
as
they
are
bigger
issues
about
the
whole
problem,
they
feel
the
street
renaming
can
take
care
of
itself
if
other
things
are
taken
care
of,
but
the
the
bridge
between
how
to
communicate.
That
is
not
there
right
now,
so
I
think
a
work
group
of
dedicated
people
would
truly
truly
help,
but
first
the
very
first
item
I
would
tackle.
If
I
were
then
would
be
how
to
effectively
breach
the
community
like
the
six
percent.
B
A
Sure
aaron,
you
want
to
share
thoughts,
we're
talking
about
the
need
to
have
a
work
group
within
our
commission.
We
want
to
be
able
to
connect
with
our
community,
get
their
temperature
on
where
they
stand
with
the
street
naming
and
other
projects
or
things
I
feel
like.
This
is
a
good
time
for
our
commission
to
be
effective
with
reparations.
A
You
know,
being
the
language
that
we're
hearing
in
the
city
and
county,
but
before
we
do
the
work,
I
feel
like
it's
important
for
us
to
connect
back
to
the
community
to
see
if
it's
really
what's
important
to
them
and
what's
high
on
their
list.
So
what
it
I
kind
of
agree
a
lot
with
what
brandon
said.
What
are
your
thoughts
on
that?
A
C
Yeah,
I
pretty
much
feel
the
same
way.
I
think
we
need
to
take
check
the
temperature,
so
I'm
willing
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
get
involved
with.
You
know
you
know
seeing
what
the
community
really
feels
and
how
we
can
go
about
achieving
some
of
these
things
that
we
have
before
us.
Yeah
absolutely
go
ahead.
I'm
sorry.
A
C
Can
you
hear
me
now,
okay
yeah,
so
I
I
think
we
need
to
be
more
involved
with
you
know,
checking
with
the
community
and
see
what
they
want
to
do.
I'm
I'm
all
willing.
Whatever
needs
to
be
done.
You
know
the
street
name
and
you
know
whatever
it
takes,
I'm
just
ready
to
get
get
moving.
Absolutely.
D
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
okay,
I
think
it's
an
excellent
idea,
because
one
of
the
issues
that
is
involved
in
the
black
lives
matter
movement
is
lack
of
community
engagement,
and
this
would
be
an
excellent
time
for
us
to
come
forward
as
a
liaison
organization
to
interpret
and
to
involve
a
lot
of
different
activities
that
are
going
on
separately,
but
really
should
be
connected
in
a
central
forum,
and
I
think
we
can
act
as
that
forum.
A
E
And
lynn,
this
is
nia
just
as
a
reminder,
so
y'all
can
have
this
discussion,
but
because
you
need
one
more
person
for
a
quorum,
no
action
steps
can
be
made.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
can
get
michael
on
making
a
quorum
but
yeah.
So
just
so
you
know
like
that's
the
discussion
I
think
is
as
far
as
it
can
go.
Okay,
thanks
nina.
I.
A
Appreciate
that
so
we
can
talk
about
like
so
nia
can
we
and
ben?
Can
we
say
who
wants
to
be
a
part
of
the
work
group,
or
am
I
walking
a
fine
line.
E
A
So
if
you
have
interest
in
working
on
this
on
the
work
group,
let
us
know
and
we're
we're
thinking,
work
group
as
opposed
to
subcommittee,
because
our
work
groups
are
able
to
be
fluid.
We
can
move
in
and
out
of
those
as
need
be
for
projects
subcommittees
are
more
standard
and
they'll
whoever's
on
that
subcommittee
will
have
to
remain
so
work
groups
give
us
a
little
more
flexibility.
A
It
has
to
be
less
than
quorum
in
order
to
qualify.
So
we
only
need
two
or
three
people
to
be
able
to
serve
on
the
work
group
to
allow
us
to
connect
with
the
community,
and
if
you
want
to
do
an
informal
thing
as
well,
you
don't
have
to
formally
be
a
part
of
the
work
group,
but
still
connect
with
the
community
to
bring
because
we
want
to
get
their
engagement
because
it
makes
no
sense
for
us
to
work
on
a
project.
That's
not
important
to
them.
E
And
sorry,
if
I
could
just
say
one
more
thing
in
terms
of
the
work,
I
think
everybody
can
do
the
work
of
engaging
the
community.
E
I
think
a
work
group
might
be
helpful
in
terms
of
maybe
like
synthesizing,
that
data
or
you
know,
kind
of
just
those
people
who
folks
are
reporting
back
to,
and
so
they
can
turn
out
type
thing
but
yeah.
I
don't.
I
don't
think
there'd
be
an
issue
with
everybody
doing
the
community
engagement.
But
again
you
have
to
have
quorum
to
make
that
motion
right.
A
So
those
are
things
for
us
to
think
about.
We
won't
waste
a
lot
of
time
on
that
since
we
don't
have
quorum,
but
you
know,
I
feel,
like
time
is
of
the
essence:
we're
losing
a
lot
of
valuable
time
as
the
more
we
drag
this
out
and
it's
important
now,
while
the
community's
ear
is
here-
and
we
have
the
the
attention
of
the
people
that
we
want
to
make
use
to
make
change
or
work
with
to
make
change
so
we're
fine
to
not.
A
F
Morning,
everybody
happy
friday,
I
can't
even
I
just
you
know,
I
can't
even
believe
next
week's
thanksgiving
and
we've
been
in
this
pandemic
for
nine
months.
So
it's
it
is
kind
of
amazing
does
not
feel
like
it.
No
it's
strange
toms,
but
I
do
appreciate
letting
me
get
back
on
the
agenda.
I'm
gonna
be
super
brief.
Today
I
don't
have
a
presentation,
you
know
slideshow
or
anything
like
that.
F
Actually,
the
conversation
that
that
you
just
had
was
really
good
and
important,
and
that's
really
where
I
was
going
to
kind
of
go
with
where
I'm
at
today,
but
a
little
bit
we
met
in
july.
We
talked
about
this.
You
know
I'll
be
honest.
We
haven't
done
a
lot
since
july
and-
and
I
think
the
conversation
you
just
had
is
exactly
why
we
haven't,
because
I
don't
really
know
that
this
is
even
a
priority
for
the
community.
F
Quite
frankly,
and
that's
that's
an
area
I
feel
kind
of
stuck,
but
I
will
tell
you
know
we,
we
know:
there's
126
street
names,
wait,
there's
126
streets
in
asheville
that
share
a
name
with
a
former
slave
holder
and
of
those
126.
I
know
that
some
of
those
are
named
after
a
slave
holder.
You
know,
there's
there's
ones
like
patent
and
things
that
are
that,
I
think
are.
F
We
can
confirm
pretty
easily,
but
most
of
those
126.
I
really
don't
know
if
they're
actually
named
after
a
slave
holder,
and
that
would
take
a
fair
amount
of
research
to
make
that
determination
and
we
haven't
taken
that
next
step
yet
because,
like
like,
just
like
all
of
you
like
life's
complicated
and
there's,
not
always
a
lot
of
time
for
everything,
so
we
know
that
we've
done
some
initial
work.
F
We've
got
some
frequently
asked
questions
out
there
that
people
can
read,
we've
got
a
project
page,
and
you
know
we've
got
a
little
bit
of
media
coverage.
Some
of
the
media
coverage
was
was
accurate.
Some
of
it
wasn't
quite
accurate.
We
can't
always
control
that,
but
I
will
say-
and
I
don't
remember
brandon-
I
think
maybe
you
said
this-
the
limited
amount
of
comments
that
we've
gotten-
I
wouldn't
say
I've
been
really
supportive
of
the
street
name
changes
and
what
I
tend
to
hear
is
when
it
when
they
come
in
two
forms.
F
F
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
people
that
that
have
given
us
thoughtful
comments,
just
kind
of
say
well,
is
that
really
what
we
need
to
be
doing
in
terms
of
you
know
the
black
lives
matter,
movement
and
kind
of
what's
important,
asheville
and
again,
I'm
not
the
one
to
answer
that.
But
that's
just
you
know,
that's
what
I've
heard
to
this
point.
I
will
say
that
this
is
in
my
conversations
with
with
the
city
manager's
office.
F
I
don't
think
this
the
city's
not
going
out
to
change
the
name
of
126
streets
and
that's,
I
feel
like
that's
what
some
of
the
media
coverage
has
indicated
that
couldn't
be
further
from
the
truth
like
that
is
a
lot
of
money
and
a
lot
of
time.
We
are
only
going
to
change
street
names
if
it's,
what
the
community
wants
to
see
happen.
F
It's
a
it's
got
to
be
100
community,
driven,
I'm
ready
to
go
to
work.
If
somebody
puts
me
on
it
I'll
do
the
work.
Don't
have
a
problem
with
that,
but
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
in
terms
of
the
time
that
the
city
has
in
the
resources.
Is
this
what
the
community
wants?
If
it
is
that's
great,
if
it's
maybe
not
yet
that's
okay
too,
I
just
I
just
need
to.
I
need
help
answering
that
question
really
so
what
I
was
gonna.
F
I
was
gonna
ask
this
commission
three
questions
today
or
just
kind
of
three
confirmations.
I
guess
and
I'll
kind
of
read
those
up
number
one
is
in
our
meeting
in
july.
You
know
the
interest
from
this
commission
was
to
form
a
work
group
that
could
help
with
identifying
any
new
names
we're
not
there
yet,
because
I
don't
know
if
we're
changing
the
name
of
any
street,
so
number
one
I
was
going
to
ask.
F
F
The
second
question
I
had
was:
does
the
commission
have
any
suggestions
in
general
on
this
initiative
and
actually
my
thought
around
that
was,
like
you
know,
how
do
we
prioritize
this?
You
know:
do
we
need
to
go
back
to
the
community?
F
F
There
will
be
a
second
round,
so
that's
not
done
that's
going
to
you
know
start
again.
The
vance
monument
task
force
made
their
recommendations
yesterday.
So
I
know,
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
around
the
reparations
resolution,
but
you
know
my
thought
was
if
there
were
a
time
to
try
to
do
some
engagement
around
street
renaming.
Maybe
now
is
not
a
bad
time
to
do
that.
F
But
then
again
maybe
maybe
the
street
renaming
is
just
part
of
some
bigger
engagement
effort,
and
so
that's
all
I
have
to
share
today
it.
You
know
I
would
be
open
to
any
suggestions
or
recommendations.
This
this
body
has
on
street
renaming
and
then
equally
I'd
be
happy
to
help
with
any
any
other
way
that
I
can
so
with
that
I'll
answer.
Any
questions-
and
I
appreciate
your
time
this
morning.
D
Okay,
I'd
like
to
know
what
streets
you've
identified,
pretty
conclusively.
F
Yep,
so
I've
got
a
I've,
got
a
I'm
gonna
email
mia
right
here
in
a
minute,
and
she
can
pass
that
that
list
to
you
and,
like
I
said,
there's
126
of
them.
Here's
the
way
we
identified
them
I'll,
tell
you
the
methodology
we
use
so
we've
got.
We've
got
about
10
000
street
names
in
asheville.
That
happened
obviously
have
a
name.
F
We
correlated
that
with
the
names
of
the
street
names
and
just
made
matches
so,
for
example,
of
the
126
names.
I
think
there's
three
or
four
names
that
include
bands,
there's
advanced
gap,
there's
advanced
crescent
road
and
so
really
it's
basically
just
a
correlation
of
those
two
databases,
but
I'll
make
sure
I
send
that
whole
list
to
this
body.
So
you
can
see
that.
C
F
So
I'll
be
real
candid,
when,
when
black
asheville
demands
that
when
they
that
group
set
forth
a
list
of
demands,
it
included
a
lot
of
different
things.
One
of
those
demands
was
to
identify
streets
that
were
named
after
slaveholders
and
then
to
rename
those
streets
with
with
names
of
prominent
african
american.
You
know
community
members,
so
the
demand
really
came
from
from
black
asheville
demands.
F
It
was
assigned
to
me
because
my
department
does
addressing
in
the
city,
so
we
kind
of
manage
street
names
and,
addressing
to
this
point,
I've
made
efforts
to
contact
black
asheville
demands.
I've
got
no
response
from
that
group,
so
I
don't
honestly,
I
don't
know
the
context
of
that
demand
or
kind
of
what
that
group
was
looking
for.
F
The
reason
we
came
to
this
commission
in
july
is
when
kimberly
was
here
kimberly
recommended
that
we
act
that
I
actually
come
to
this
commission
and
ask
if
you
had
any
interest
in
kind
of
leading
this
effort
or
participating
at
that
meeting.
The
answer
was
not
really
because
I
think
the
commission
felt
like
there
were
more
important
things,
and
so
just
to
be
honest
with
you,
you
know
it's
initiative.
F
A
Yeah,
thank
you
yeah.
I
remember
that
meeting
and
personally
speaking
and
I
I
can't
speak
for
anyone
but
in
the
big
scheme
of
things
I
just
feel
like
there
is
more
important
things
we
can
do
and
I
think
that's
why
we
wanted
to
check
in
and
connect
with
the
community
just
to
make
sure
we
aren't.
You
know
using
resources
on
where
we
can
use
them
differently.
So
what
are
your
thoughts
commissioned
as
far
as
the
street
naming?
I
know
where
we
stood
in
july,
but
I
just
want
to
hear
where
you
guys,
where
you?
B
Sure,
okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
woody,
for
coming
and
talking
to
us
the
I
I'm
trying
to
think
of
the
way
to
say
this
is
I.
I
do
believe
that
the
the
street
renaming
is
a
visual
reminder
of
things
that
we
are
trying
to
get
past.
I
do
when
things
first
started.
B
I
do
believe
that
maybe
some
things
were
requested
out
of
emotions
instead
of
necessary,
like
necessity,
we'll
say
the
the
street
naming
like,
I
think
honestly
will
take
care
of
itself
when
other
things
are,
and
I
think
there
will
be
a
better
process,
but
now,
with
this
being,
this
is
brand
new,
like
people
just
don't
rename
streets.
Because
of
this
there's
always
a
reason.
It's
always
a
plan.
B
They
already
have
everyone
on
board
and
going
this
street
amy
right
now
has
many
obstacles
to
overcome
before
it
can
actually
happen.
So,
if
this
is
going
to
happen,
I
think
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
planning
and
overall,
a
lot
of
community
involvement
so
that
we're
just
not
running
around
just
renaming
every
street
because
somebody's
like
oh,
he
had
some
slaves
or
he
had
some
slaves.
You
know,
because,
honestly,
it
might
cost
more
time,
money,
stress
energy,
to
rename
some
of
these.
B
That
may
be
out
way
out
in
leicester
and
everything
that
only
the
people
that
live
on
that
road
and
the
postman
know
that
it
even
exists.
So
I
think
that
it
is
gonna,
be
a
process,
gonna
be
something
we
need
to
check
off,
but
I
don't
think
it
needs
to
be
so
much
of
a
priority
right
now.
I
think
the
priority
needs
to
be
on
just
actually
organizing
what
is
actually
wanted.
B
As
you
said
you
reached
out,
and
you
haven't
heard
anything
back
yet
when
I
want
something
and
somebody
that
has
it
calls
me
I'm
getting
to
them,
I'm
probably
not
going
to
miss
the
call.
So
how
important
is
this
truly
to
the
community
and
what
everyone's
going
for
right?
Now,
that's
my
two
cents.
Thank
you
brandon!
C
Aaron
I
I
guess
I
got
what
what
was
the
number
that
how
many
streets
I'm
sorry.
F
F
Absolutely
I
always
have
trouble
with
that
mute,
but
absolutely
there
there's,
no
doubt
when
that's
a
really
interesting
thought
too,
because
whenever
there's
10
000
street
names
in
the
city,
so
when
developers
come
in
and
create
and
they're
always
creating
new
streets,
it's
actually
really
hard
to
find
in
a
way
new
street
name.
So
the
developer
will
usually
they'll
pitch
a
name
we'll
turn
it
down.
We
may
turn
down
three
or
four
of
their
first
options.
F
So
that's
not
a
that's,
not
a
bad
idea.
One
thing
you
could
do
is
you
could
actually
create
a
list
of
like
here
are
120
names.
We
could
go
ahead
and
do
the
research
and
say
they're
not
on
the
existing
street
name
list
they're
important
to
asheville,
and
you
could
actually
make
that
a
pool.
That's
a
really
good
idea
that
new
streets
could
like
pull
from
that
pool.
So
that's
not
that's
interesting
and
doable.
Actually,
all
right.
A
I,
like
that
thought
aaron.
I
want
to
just
pause
right
now.
We
and
note
that
we
do
have
quorum.
Dwayne
is
on
and
dwayne.
What
we're
talking
about
right
now
is
the
where
the
commission
stands
with
connecting
with
the
community
to
get
their
their
thoughts
on
the
street
naming
process.
Is
it
high
on
the
priority
list
and
where
do
we
stand
and
aaron
just
made
an
excellent
point
saying,
instead
of
looking
to
rename
those
126
streets?
A
G
G
So
I
like
this,
the
idea
of
just
doing
it
in
the
future
then
trying
to
worry
about
doing
it
now,
especially
when
that
wasn't
a
priority
for
us,
the
putting
a
large
monument
in
downtown
asheville
was
a
priority,
so
these
so
changing
street
signs
and
some
other
things
that's
going
on.
It's
catching
me
from
some
from
surprise
when
I
know
that
wasn't
a
priority.
A
A
Certainly
we
talked
about
creating
a
work
group
to
take
it
back
to
the
community.
But
I
I
really
feel
like
aaron
came
up
with
the
best
possible
option
for
all
people
involved.
I
think
that's
more
going
to
be
more
effective,
you
know
and
ben.
What's
the
likelihood
that
we
could
have
the
city
agree
to
to
that.
How
do
we
go
about
moving
in
that
direction?.
F
So
I
think
the
likelihood
is
going
to
be
high.
That
city
would
agree
to
that.
I
think
this
thing
is
a
great
idea,
I
think.
Quite
frankly,
I
think
that
developers
and
the
people
that
build
streets
not
all,
but
I
think
a
lot
would
embrace
that
honestly,
I
really
do.
I
know
I'm
just
just
my
mind's
running
after
that
comment.
Even
like
you
know,
the
city
has
done
a
lot
in
terms
of
trying
to
you
know
trying
to
do
initiate
you
know,
we've
got.
F
We've
got
all
parcels
of
land
that
the
city
acquired
during
urban
renewal
that
are
trying
to
be
turned
over
to
the
community
or
you
know
or
housing
place
there
I
mean,
maybe
the
city.
Maybe
the
city
requires
that
these
these
names
come
from
this
pool
of
name.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
places
that
go
with
that
idea.
G
Cool,
that's
good!
That's
really
good
to
be
just
about
the
street
names,
though
we
should
make
this
a
combination
package.
It
should
be
like,
and
black
folks
get
to
live
there
in
businesses,
infrastructure
for
businesses,
don't
just
make
it
about
a
street
name,
make
it
real,
comprehensive.
So,
okay,
I'm
gonna
come
with
the
street
name.
We
we're
gonna,
come
with
the
housing
thing
and
then
we're
going
to
come
with
this
part
about
we're,
going
to
make
sure
some
infrastructure
in
place
for
african
american
business
owners
so
you're.
G
F
A
E
Hey
y'all,
this
is
nia
just
a
couple
of
things
that
are
coming
up
for
me
right
now,
so
now
that
y'all
have
quorum,
I
would
recommend
approving
the
minutes,
setting
that
deadline
for
the
work
group
in
terms
of
figuring
out
doll's
work
plan,
and
I
think
this
is
a
really
good
opportunity
too,
where
like
what
I'm,
what
I
feel
like
I'm
hearing
is
that
there's
an
interest
in
this
general
community
engagement
like
not
just
around
street
renaming,
but
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
you
all
to
kind
of
solidify
what
that
community
engagement
could
look
like
who's
responsible
for
it
like
set
some
deadlines
around
that
as
well
and
for
your
new
business,
you
do
have
to
open
a
more
open
conversation
around
reparations,
so
maybe
you
want
to
connect
it
to
that
like
like
seeking
community
engagement
about
what
folks
would
want
to
see
around
reparations
right.
E
A
Thanks
me,
I
have
minutes
on
my
next
list,
but
let's
go
ahead
and
do
that
before
I
get
sidetracked
again
so
has
has
everyone
had
an
opportunity
to
review
the
minutes
from
our
july
meeting
is
and
so
remember
to
unmute
your
your
phones
and
your
voices.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
accept
the
meetings?
The
minutes
from
our
july
meeting
so
moved
and
is
there.
A
Thanks
aaron,
so
all
of
those
in
favor
that
we
accept
our
minutes.
Please
let
it
be
known
once
I
call
your
name
to
say:
you're,
yay
or
nay,
dwayne
yay,
michael,
I'm,
sorry,
michael
catherine,
yes,
aaron,
yay,
brandon,
yeah
and
my
vote
is
jay,
so
the
minutes
have
been
approved
and
accepted
so
moving
we're
going
to
go
back
up
to
old
business
for
just
a
second.
A
A
We
want
to
be
able
to
really
focus
on
that,
so
many
things
are
taking
precedence
now
and
I
feel
like
we
are
losing
where
we
were
so
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
put
together
a
work
group
and
we
can
commit
to
working
on
our
action
plan
and
really
connecting
with
the
community
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
community
input.
So
where
are
we
as
far
as
your
thoughts
and
establishing
a
timeline?
My
thoughts
were
to
look
at
january
to
really
discuss
this.
A
That's
going
to
give
us
time
to
review
it
one
more
time
and
be
ready,
we're
not
going
to
meet
in
december,
and
that's
going
to
give
me
time
to
put
together
our
annual
report
for
the
city
and
county,
but
we
really
need
to
get
back
to
our
action
plan
and
stay
the
course
and
be
able
to.
You
know
work
with
the
community
on
developing
that
so
does
anybody
have
any
questions
or
thoughts
about
where
we
are
with
that
in
the
timeline?
A
G
A
I
feel
like
a
work
group
or
a
subcommittee
would
be
helpful
in
these
regards
where
we
have
these
projects
that
we
want
to
get
off
the
ground
and
get
started,
and
we
can
have
the
work
group
do
those
things
and
be
mobile
and
then
report
back
to
the
larger
commission,
because
it
just
seems,
we've
been
the
last
few
months,
have
been
difficult
for
us.
The
last
few
meetings
have
been
difficult
to
us
for
us
to
get
quorum.
A
F
A
G
F
G
Them
when,
when
it's
convenient,
I
think
right.
I
think
if
something
should
be
told
for
for
this
process
to
happen
when
the
purpose
of
this
commission
was
designed
to
take
on
something
like
that,
but
it's
like
to
me:
we
was
pushed
to
the
side,
so
we
I
think
we
got
to
really
think
through
how
we
want
to
establish
something,
that's
going
to
be
solid
and
is
going
to
be
able
to
to
to
withstand
the
these
future
occurrences.
You
know
what
I
mean.
B
D
A
You
immediate
your.
I
support
I'm
committed
dwayne.
Thank
you
because
you're
absolutely
right,
coach
here,
thank
you
for
bringing
us
back
to
where
we
said
we
were
going
to
be
and
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
so,
nia
and
ben.
Do
we
need
to
like
make
a
motion
to
not
have
a
sub
committee
or
work
group,
or
are
we
able
to
just
move
on.
E
So
my
recommendation
would
be
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
everyone
is
like
committed
and
recommitting.
I
would
still
recommend
appointing
like
two
or
three
people
so
for
accountability.
I
think
when
it's
everybody's
responsibility
it
can
get
lost,
really
easy.
So
I
think
the
purpose
of
potentially
having
a
work
group
would
be
that
work
group
would
be
working
on
redefining
y'all's
work
plan
or
revising
or
doing
whatever,
to
present
back
to
the
commission
for
their
reaction
and
to
potentially
be
gone.
So
you
know
again,
that's
that's
just
my
recommendation.
E
Y'all
don't
have
to
take
that
recommendation,
but
I
think
it's
I
I
think
y'all
could
potentially
get
a
little
bit
farther
if
you
all
identify
folks
who
will
be
dedicated
to
doing
this
work
to
bring
back
to
the
commission
in
january.
E
A
A
G
Was
my
meeting
where
I
was
going
to
decide
if
I
was
going
to
keep
on
okay
down
this
road?
So
so
that
that's
where
I
am.
A
And
that's,
I
can
respect
that,
but
I
feel
like
for
you
to
not
let
this
meeting
decide,
because
this
is
our
first
meeting
back
we're
gonna
miss
december,
like
we
did
last
year.
That
was
consistent,
and
so
I
feel
like
I.
I
don't
know
that
a
work
group
and
subcommittee
is
what
we
need
right
now.
D
Well,
how
about
if
we
come
back
in
january,
with
different
people
submitting
their
ideas
and
proposals
for
the
action
plan
based
upon
what
we've
already
discussed.
A
A
I
know
we
got
a
lot
of
work
and
I
feel
like
we
have
lost
a
lot
of
momentum
with
covid
not
been
able
to
meet
in
person
and
then
with
the
task
force.
It's
just
been
a
perfect
storm
for
us
to
lose
a
lot
of
momentum,
but
that
is
not
an
excuse
for
us
to
not
move
forward
and
go
forward.
We
have
a
really
good
commission.
A
We
have
dedicated
members,
and
I
feel
like
now
is
the
time
for
us
to
take
advantage
of
this
time
and
be
more
committed
and
consistent
in
what
we're
doing
so
that
we
can
show
strong
to
the
community.
So
I
think
it's
important
for
you
to
evaluate
personally
and
I'm
speaking
to
everyone,
your
commitment
to
the
commission
and-
and
that
makes
me
segue
into
my
next
point-
you
know
we
all
antoinette
is
now
a
council
member,
so
we
have
one
vacancy
on
our
commission.
A
E
Lynn,
can
I
interrupt
really
quickly?
Yes,
did
y'all
want
to
make
any
sort
of
decision
around
community
engagement?
I
know
the
proposal
was
brought
up
for
renaming
the
next
126
streets,
but
it's
like-
and
I
guess
you
could
couple
this
on
with
reparations
too,
but
I
would
just
be
thinking
about
like
what
a
potential
action
step
is
for
you
all
in
terms
of
community
engagement
like
what
would
that
look
like?
What
are
you
like?
What
are
you
engaging
the
community
on?
E
So
just
you
know
just
throwing
that
out
there
so
we're
able
to
walk
away
with
like
a
tangible
thing.
After
this
meeting.
F
Future
chair
smith-
and
I
just
and
thank
you
thank
you,
because
I've
not
just
and
thank
you
nia
for
coming
back
to
the
ceo.
Let
me
make
sure
I
just
heard
right.
So
it
sounds
like
the
I
the
concept,
the
idea
of
creating
a
pool
of
names.
I
guess
to
have
like
a
positive
association
or
perhaps
or
the
names
of
asheville's
african-american
community
members
or
we
gotta
shape.
What
that
pool
of
names
is.
But
that
sounds
like
that's
definitely
something
we
want
to
move
forward
with.
F
F
But
I'm
going
to
write
that
as
like
a
to-do
item
for
me,
okay
and
then
just
just
to
close
the
other
loop
on
the
street,
renaming
what
I
think
I
heard
and
I'm
asking
if
I'm
getting
this
right.
What
I
think
I
heard
is
that
we
don't
know
if
that's
that's
a
priority
for
the
community
yet,
and
maybe
maybe
that
maybe
that
question
could
be
part
of
the
bigger
community
engagement
conversation
that
perhaps
this
commission
is
going
to
consider.
F
A
A
I
think
we
can
present
both
options
to
the
community
to
see
what
how
they
feel,
but
I
just
believe
that
it
would
be
easier
logistically
to
move
forward
with
adding
new
names
to
streets
and
having
a
list
of
names
to
have
for
the
community
and
list
the
names
that
we
get
from
the
community's
recommendations
and
simultaneously
getting
their
input
on
on
the
street
renamings.
But
I
just
don't
know
that
all
the
loopholes
that
that
and
the
not
the
loopholes
but
the
red
tape.
If
that's
something
we
want
to
really
work
through.
E
Yeah
this
nia
again
yeah,
I
I
I
again
and
my
recommendation
would
maybe
to
be
to
present
both
options
like
y'all,
have
clearly
spoken
around
what
you
all
feel
about
street
renaming,
but
also
keeping
in
mind.
You
know
like
we.
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
hearing
from
the
community
at
large
and
seeing
where
they,
where
that
priority
falls
where
that
priority
falls
for
them.
So
I
I
think
the
engagement
aspect
of
it.
E
I
think
that's
definitely
a
question
I
would
include
in
the
engagement,
if
I
were
doing
this,
including
the
engagement
aspect,
be
like
where,
where
do
you
fall
like?
What's
the
opinion
on
street
renaming?
Is
it
a
priority
and
then
even
bringing
in
aaron's
suggestion
like
like
what
like?
What
does
that
feel
like
type
thing,
but
just
you
know
kind
of
covering
all
your
bases.
So
it's
it's
not
like
a
blanket
assumption.
E
A
Nia
to
your
point,
let
me
ask
a
question:
how
are
ways
that
we
can
get
input
from
the
community?
What
are
some
ideas?
I
guess
I
should
be
asking
with
covert
and
with
us
not
being
able
to
have
large
meetings.
How
can
we
can
we
do
like
a
doodle
polo?
What
kind
of
ideas
can
we
use
to
reach
the
community
to
get
their
thoughts.
E
Yeah
I
def
again
in,
like
you
know,
just
putting
out
there.
Obviously
I
don't
direct
y'all's
work.
These
are
just
recommendations,
just
from
my
experience,
so
feel
free
to
take
them
or
not
take
them.
I
I
do
like
what
you
said
about
speaking
with
rashida
and
and
potentially
utilizing
the
network
that
she's
created
to
get
information
out
there,
and
I
think
y'all
utilizing
your
own
networks.
E
I
think
that
could
potentially
be
done
is
maybe
y'all
come
up
with
a
list
of
questions,
and
I
think,
if
y'all
took
on
this
community
engagement
portion
of
it,
like
y'all,
connecting
with
your
direct
networks
and
and
and
folks
that
you're
associating
with
to
kind
of
like
do
those
informal
interviews
and-
and
things
like
that,
I
think
on
a
larger
scale,
though
connecting
with
rashida
could
be
helpful
and
maybe
sending
it
out
and
getting
it
to
more
networks
but
yeah.
E
I,
I
definitely
think
you
know
putting
together
just
kind
of
this
list
of
questions
and
going
through
and
kind
of
collecting
data.
That
way
could
be
helpful
and
following
up
with
rashida
could
would
is
what
I
would
suggest.
B
Sorry,
I
was
just
I
was
just
going
to
say
that,
even
including
in
the
work
group,
I
am
willing
to
be
a
part
of
that.
I
like
what's
happening
right
now,
and
I
also
like
the
fact
of,
like,
like
dwayne,
said
what
we're
originally
doing.
Okay,
so
the
monument
is
being
somewhat
taken
care
of
our
part
of
the
past
present
and
future
this
commission,
our
the
the
past.
That
would
be
our
monument
that
we
should
be
working
on
correct
the
spaces
and
getting
the
funding
for
that.
B
So
you
can
put
me
down
for
the
for
the
work
group,
like
I
said
in
part
of
the
community
engagement,
I'm
going
to
be
talking
a
lot
about
what
to
do
on
these
areas
or
or
where
they
can
be,
or
what's
the
likelihood
of
presenting
the
businesses
and
having
a
small
business
complex
or
a
plaza
or
something
where
we
can
start
off.
You
know,
wouldn't
that
be
amazing,
to
have
a
black
plaza,
surrounded
by
four
black
streets
like
in
in
asheville
buncombe
county
like
to
me.
That
would
be
incredible.
That
shows
yeah
sure
you're
right.
B
It's
improvement.
You
know,
like
a
section,
ashley's
had
no
problem
with
the
river
arts
district.
I've
been
here
since
2006,
and
I
have
watched
the
growth
I
watched
the
money
pour
in
and
watch
it
bring
people
in.
So
nothing
against
arts,
nothing
against
the
river
arts
district,
but
it
shouldn't
be
that
hard
for
us
to
get
some
things
like
that
too,
and
that
that
that's
my
mentality,
that's
where
I'm
at.
I
am
all
about
man.
B
Let's
go,
let's
get
out
there
and
let's
take
advantage
and
let's
make
it
so
they
cannot
take
it
away
or
brush
us
to
the
side.
We
have
our
own
legs
to
stand
on.
I
think
it
starts
here.
I
think
we
are
crucial
to
the
foundation
of
what's
gonna,
be
in
asheville
in
a
hundred
years
and
I'm
very
excited
to
be
a
part
of
it.
So
thank
you
all
and
I'm
gonna
be
quiet.
Now.
A
A
A
Okay,
two
options
to
present
at
the
community:
one
for
renaming
of
old
street
names
that
share
the
names
of
slave
owners
or
do
and
to
have
them
decide
upon
whether
to
have
old
names,
old
streets
renamed
or
to
have
a
pool
of
names
set
aside
for
new
street
namings.
E
G
Yeah,
hey
lynn,
about
community
engagement
around
renaming
some
street
signs.
I
I'm
I'm
still
kind
of
confused
on
that
that
wasn't
a
priority
for
us.
Why
are
we
taking
on
something
that
wasn't
a
priority
for
us?
So
we
said
we
we're
going
to
stop
everything
we
was.
The
commission
was
established
for
stop
that
and
then
create
a
questionnaire
about
changing
street
names
going
out
to
outreach
to
the
community.
I
don't
understand
where
that
priority
came
from
so
so,
and
I
thought
we
was
going
to
meet.
G
We
was
going
to
figure
out
what
what
our
hustle
was,
which
road
he
was
going
to
take
as
as
a
on
a
subcommittee
or
whatever,
and
that
that's
when
we
would.
Those
people
who
would
want
to
do
that
not
me
would
would
would
to
take
that
on.
A
A
E
And
lynn,
I'm
sorry
I'll
stop
interjecting.
I
think
you
can
still
vote
on
it
because
I
I
I
feel
like
if
I'm
understanding
correctly,
like
y'all,
are
still
kind
of
in
the
process
of
like
redefining
your
work
plan
and
going
back
to
those
priorities.
So
that
does
need
to
happen.
But
I
guess
my
question
is
like
what
you're
doing.
A
Now
is
I'm
asking
them
to
decide
what
we're
doing
now
so
y'all
have
feedback.
B
I
can
go
either
way
I
reached
out
somewhat
to
the
community.
B
I
can
definitely
do
it
through
that
if
there
are
other
things
that
we
can
and
should
be
spending
our
time
on
with
the
commission,
though,
I
am
willing
to
do
those
other
things
and
then
the
community
engagement
can
be
something
on
a
personal
level
or
just
outside
of
the
commission.
Like
you
said
we
all
should
be,
I'm
sure
we
all
interact
with
one
another
and
each
other
in
the
community
on
a
daily
basis.
D
Okay,
catherine,
I
thought
the
community
engagement
discussion
was
around
our
action
agenda,
as
we've
already
created
that
so
I'm
a
little
worried
about
having
sidebar
activities
clouding
that
issue.
Unless
we
intended
to
do
an
agenda
that
we
present
to
the
community.
That
included
that
as
an
element
of
our
action
plan,.
C
I
I
agree
with
mr
barton
and
with
everybody
in
the
group,
but
you
know
as
far
as
the
street
and
everything
I
think
we
should
just
move
forward
and
heal,
and
it's
it's.
I
don't
think
it's
a
debate
about.
You
know
what
the
community
wants
for
us.
Having
our
you
know
our
people
represented
on
the
streets
for
the
future.
I
mean
it's
nothing
to
really.
C
I
think
that's
a
lot
of
red
tape
and
a
waste
of
time,
so
we
can
really
get
rid
of
this
street
name
and
thing
not
really
get
in
in
that
sense,
but
we
can
move
forward.
We
can
that
can
be
a
box
check
street.
Let's
move
towards
the
future
and
and
move
on
to
these,
these
other
issues
that
we
want
to
deal
with.
A
A
E
Okay-
and
the
last
thing
I
was
gonna
say,
is,
I
think,
where
a
lot
of
boards,
and
just
again
this
is
just
in
my
experience,
I
think,
where
a
lot
of
boards
and
commissions
get
hung
up
on.
It's
like.
I
think
you
all
have
to
learn
how
to
do
multiple
things
kind
of
at
the
same
time,
and
just
like
throwing
out
there
that
like
this,
could
also
be
like
a
smaller
part
of
a
larger
effort,
like
I
don't
think,
y'all
have
to
get
caught
on
street
renaming.
E
I
think
the
community
engagement
aspect
of
it
is
something
tangible
that
you
all
can
do
right
now,
whether
it's
a
community
engagement
around
street
renamings
or
just
in
like
reparations
in
general
right
like
what
does
that
look
like
for
the
community?
What
could
that
look
like
for
the
community?
So
just
throwing
that
out
there,
but
I
like
regardless.
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
motion
and
vote
on
what
y'all
are
working
on
for
january.
So
we
don't
get
continue
to
get
lost
in
the
sauce.
A
A
Is
it
possible
just
to
add
this
to
our
action
plan
and
then,
as
we
form
a
work
group
that
can
be
part
of
the
work,
that's
divvied
out
and
go
from
there,
because
I
don't.
I
don't
think
that
we
don't
want
to
do
it,
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what's
important
and
do
we
want
to
move
too
far
away
from
what
we
initially
said.
We
are
here
for
so
by
adding
it
to
our
action
plan.
E
Worlds
to
add
it
to
the
action
plan,
so
you
would
have
to
go
through
like
an
official
motion.
There
would
have
to
be
something
written
up,
but
I
think
that's
something
that
the
work
group
who
was
going
to
work
on
the
action
plan
like
that's
something
they
could
be
tasked
with,
and
so
that
could
be
presented
to
the
group.
The
revision
of
the
action
plan
could
be
presented
in
january.
If
that's
something
you're
interested
in
but
like
you,
do,
have
to
go
actually
like
and
write
it
up
and
stuff.
F
And
chair
smith,
this
has
been
again
and
I
would
add
if,
if
along
the
lines
of,
if
the,
if
the
commission
said,
we
like
the
alternative
of
creating
a
pool
of
names
and
like
I
we're
here
to
support
you.
So
if
that's
on
your
action
plan,
then
like
ben
woody
and
nia
and
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
do
the
lift
on
that.
So
I
mean
we
need
your
help.
We
need
we
need
community
support,
but
I
don't
feel
like
that's
all
the
work
that
you
guys
have
to
do.
F
That's
that's
what
I'm
here
for
I'm
here
to
help
you
achieve
these
goals,
so
just
remember
too
like
we're
in
it
we're
with
you.
So
if
that's
the
takeaway
today
like
we'll
get
started
on
that
pool,
I
mean
again
we'll
need
some
help,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
that
you
know
don't
feel
the
pressure
of
the
weight
of
all
of
it.
We're
here
to
help
you
with
that.
A
F
A
So
we're
go
ahead,
katherine.
G
A
And
that
was
who
second
dwayne
thanks
duane
it's
been
moved
in.
Second,
that
we
just
add
this
to
our
action
plan
and
that
we
will
come
back
as
we
re-prioritize
our
list.
So
when
I
call
your
name
when
you
just
let
it
be
known
by
yay
or
nay,
if
you
agree,
my
vote
is
yes
duane.
Your
vote.
B
B
A
Thank
you
all,
so
this
discussion
is
valuable.
So
we're
going
to
add
this
to
our
action
plan.
My
I'm
asking
that
you
all
review
the
action
plan
going
forward
and
that
we
discuss
prioritizing
our
action
plan
and
coming
up
with
a
timeline
to
put
these
these
goals
into
action
so
that
we
can
have
tangible
things
that
our
commission
can
be
working
on
and
checking
in
from
month
to
month,
thoughts
about
a
work
group
or
is
that
too
soon.
A
F
A
E
A
For
to
revise
and
prioritize
the
work
plan.
E
I
mean
my
recommendation
would
be
y'all,
create
a
work
plan,
because,
if
not
we're
going
to
be
here
in
january,
having
the
same
conversation
and
like
nothing
will
have
gotten
done.
So
I
think
the
work
group
would
be
helpful
in
assigning
people
to
produce
something.
So
you
all
can
present
it
in
january
for
the
group
to
react
to.
A
G
E
And
again
for
work
groups,
if
there's
any
confusion
like
this,
could
just
literally
be
a
group
of
people
that
meets
one
time
and
y'all
just
go
over
the
work
plan
like
this
doesn't
have
to
be
a
huge
commitment
like
it
all
like
all.
It
really
has
to
be
is
just
like
here's
the
work
plan,
let's
revise
it
and
then
produce
some
things
for
the
whole
commission
to
react
on
and
vote
on
and
pass
in
january.
E
A
E
A
D
A
A
A
So
let
me
just
skim
over
our
agenda
where
we
are-
and
I
think
we'll
just
worry
about
our
reparations
discussion
next
week
next
month
in
january,
so
for
december.
My
plan
is
to
reach
out
to
each
of
you
see
where
you
are
with
the
commission
and
just
check
in
I'll
also
be
completing
our
annual
report
for
the
city
and
county.
A
The
state
requires
it,
the
county
doesn't,
but
I
always
just
send
that
report
to
the
county
for
their
records
as
well,
and
once
it's
finalized
I'll,
send
that
out
to
you,
so
you'll
have
to
have
a
copy
of
it,
and
am
I
forgetting
anything
I'm
going
to
go
over
my
notes,
right,
quick,
oh
and
just
be
mindful
that
we
are
down
one
member
and
that
we
still
need
a
secretary.
A
And
I
think
I'll
get
with
nia
to
check
in
to
talk
about
you
know
we
initially
voted
to
have
our
meeting
scheduled
changed
to
4
30
in
the
afternoon,
as
opposed
to
11
30..
So
nia
is
going
to
look
at
the
schedule,
we're
going
to
see
if
that's
still
doable
so
I'll
be
reaching
out
to
you
all.
As
far
as
dates
for
our
meeting,
I
feel
like
we
want
to
establish
a
date
and
time
like
we
had
before
with
our
meetings,
because
friday
isn't
a
typical
meeting
day.
E
A
A
C
Sorry
guys
you're
fine
again,
what's
the
question.
