B
We
will
now
call
this
our
meeting
to
order.
Okay,
the
citywide,
the
city
county
african
american
heritage
heritage
commission,
consists
of
nine
members.
Three
of
those
members
are
appointed
by
ashford
city
council,
three
appointed
by
the
buncombe
county
board
of
commissioners
and
three
appointed
by
six
appointed
members.
B
All
committee
members
and
staff
are
participating
virtually.
We
appreciate
your
patience
as
we
work
through
committee

A
bit
differently.
We
are

which
is

For

Speaker
queue
for
those
for
those

with
us
today.
Welcome.
B
B
D
B
All
right
so
I'll
start
the
start
committee
agenda.
I'll
again,
I
asked
committee
members
to
click
race,
raise
hand
and
be
recognized
to
speak.
Please
state
your
name
each
time.
You
comment
just
remind
that.
The
public
is
listening
on
the
phone
and
this
keeps
them
up
to
date
on
the
order
of
the
meeting
and
who
is
commenting
or
speaking.
B
So,
first
up
we
have
approval
amendments
for
august
12
2021.
This
action
needed
minutes
appended.
A
B
A
B
All
right,
so
next
updates
or
reports
really
there's
none
at
this
time
and
we
can
move
on
to
unfinished
business
to
continue
discussing
regard
connecting
with
local
historic
resources.
B
Uh-Oh,
so
we
had
discussed
about
you,
know
finding
resources
to
help
help
connect
our
community
to
to
some
of
the
things
initiatives
and
things
that's
going
on
in
our
community.
A
Yeah,
chair
griffin,
miss
catherine,
has
her
hand
raised.
B
C
Yes,
this
is
catherine
mitchell,
I'm
representing
the
african-american
heritage,
trail
group
and
at
the
conclusion
of
this
meeting
I
will
be
forwarding
to
all
committee
commission
members,
our
schedule
of
community
meetings
and
discussions
over
the
next
two
months
to
discuss
the
contents
of
the
trail.
C
All
will
have
an
opportunity
to
participate.
We
will
be
holding
community
meetings
as
well
as
surveys,
taking
surveys
and
individual
interviews,
but
you'll
have
a
full
schedule
of
that
at
the
conclusion
of
this
meeting.
B
A
Chair
griffin,
I
understood
from
your
vice
chair
ms
miller,
that
you
guys
had
thought
about,
maybe
bringing
in
some
other
folks
that
talk
to
you
about
other
local
historic
resources,
like
maybe
the
preservation
society
or
other
places
where
you
might
be
able
to
partner
with
them
to
do
projects.
Is
that
something
that
this
board
is
interested
in
doing,
because
I
would
be
glad
to
set
that
up
for
you.
If
that's
what
you
were
talking
about,
I
had
to
leave
the
meeting
early
for
august,
so
I
wasn't
quite
sure
of
all
the
full
conversation.
B
Right
yeah,
we
did
discuss
that.
We
wanted
to
discuss
that
with
everyone
and
see
if
that's
something
that
we
all
would
be
interested
in.
Mr
barton
had
mentioned.
I
forget
the
guy's
name
but
he's
in
raleigh,
but
it
would
be
great
a
great
resource
for
us
to
sort
of
you
know
to
move
forward
to
see
what
see.
What's
you
know
what
every
what
what
they're
doing
there?
A
E
B
C
A
Mills,
a
staff
liaison
for
the
city.
I
think
it's
a
great
idea,
ms
catherine's
idea
put
forward
to
hear
back
from
the
preservation
society
and
dwayne.
A
Could
you
tell
me,
are
you
talking
about
the
department
of
natural
resources
in
raleigh
that
group,
in
terms
of
like
having
them
to
make
a
presentation
to
this
group.
F
Now
lynn
knows
to
contact
a
lady
who
who
reached
out
to
us
and
said
that
she
wanted
to
make
a
connection
with
the
group.
I
forget
her,
but
speaking
of
that
I
I
was
wondering
why
any
groups
that's
dealing
with
african
african
american
community
committees
that
it
is
overlapped
that
we
don't
have
like
a
group
session
to
get
on
the
same
page
on
how
we
can
work
on
specific
goals.
That
would
make
to
reach
the
outcome
and
particularly
to
the
afghan
community.
A
Could
you
be
a
little
bit,
could
you
explain
a
little
bit
more?
What
groups
are
you
talking
about.
A
F
F
We
supposed
to
be
connecting
with
the
city
and
the
county,
and
if,
if,
if
the
human
relations
council
is
designed
to
support,
you
know
a
relationship
and
particularly
with
people
who
historically
been
marginalized,
I
think
there'd
be
a
great
community
to
talk
with
to
see
what
they
working
on
and
see.
If
they
can
take
somebody,
you
know
to
see
what
they
at
least
know
what
they're
doing
so.
We
can
connect
okay,
never
talk
to
anybody
around
economic
development
and
how
that
can
play
into
the
goals
we
need
to
set
with
the
african-american
heritage.
Commission.
A
Okay,
well,
their
meeting
is
next
thursday
if
you'd
like
to
come
and
do
public
comment
with
that
I'll
make
sure
that
you
all
get
that
information
about
next
thursday's
meeting.
A
Okay,
so
I'd
also
suggest
you
also
have
a
public
art
and
cultural
commission
for
the
city
that
oversees
the
one
percent
republic
art
that
we
do
on
projects.
When
I
was
in
that
role,
we
got
that
that
created
and
then
lynn
is
going
to
tell
us
about
the
raleigh
connection.
That
would
be
great.
D
Yes,
so
angela
thorpe,
she
is
with
the
african-american
heritage
commission
in
raleigh.
She
reached
out
to
me
a
while
back
to
schedule
a
meeting
just
to
see
how
she
could
offer
support
to
our
commission,
and
that
was
right
at
the
time
when
we
were
about
to
elect
officers.
I
had
a
meeting
scheduled,
I
believe,
for
august
18th.
So
what
I
did
is
I
passed
that
information
on
to
chair
and
vice
chair
and
I
don't
think
they
were
able
to
meet.
D
I
think
there
was
a
schedule
mix
up,
but
we
do
have
this
resource
that
chair
and
vice
chair
have
been
made.
They've
made
that
connection
with
angela,
so
hopefully
that'll
be
a
really
good
resource
for
us
to
help
us
with
our
commission.
Here-
and
I
was,
I
was
really
she's-
the
director
of
the
north
carolina
african-american
heritage
commission,
so
that
was,
I
don't
know
how
she
found
us,
but
I'm
glad
she
did.
A
If
you
guys
have
been
in
touch
with
her,
would
you
like
to
invite
her
erin
and
beverly
sharon
vice
chair?
Would
you
like
to
invite
her
to
present
at
the
next
meeting,
or
would
you
like
to
meet
with
her
first.
B
I
would
say
I
would
like
to
invite
her
to
the
next
meeting
to
present.
Okay,
that
way,
everyone.
D
Miss
brenda
this
is
lynn,
I
didn't
introduce
myself.
I
can
send
you
her
contact
information,
okay,.
A
And
then
miss
mitchell,
if
you
could
get
us
some
contact
with
the
local
folks
to
do
maybe
a
15-minute
15-20
minute
presentation
just
to
talk
about
local
resources.
That
would
be
great
and
to
just
communicate
with
me
when
they,
when
they
email,
you
back
just
communicate
with
us,
and
let
us
know
that
they've
confirmed
for
your
next
meeting.
That'd
be
great
awesome
all
right.
Well,
I
think
that's
good
for
resources
right,
exciting.
B
Is
it?
Is
it
any
more
unfinished
business
that
we
we
need
to
discuss
at
this
moment.
B
No
okay,
I
guess
it's
safe
to
move
on
a
new
business.
B
We
have
to
choose
a
person
to
feel
the
vacancy
due
to
city
clerk's
office
tomorrow,.
A
Chair
griffin,
just
to
give
you
a
little
background,
I
sent
a
packet
out
to
everyone
to
look
at
the
the
recommendations.
This
person
will
be
replacing
marvin
chambers,
who
is
a
city
representative,
so
whoever
you
choose
must
be
a
city
city
resident.
E
I
mean
brenda,
yes,.
A
Yes,
I
sent,
I
gave
a
link
to
the
package
that
we
had.
We
had
on
the
second
yeah.
E
B
A
Yeah
you
write
correct
ashley
wilberding.
I
don't
like
messing
up
people's
names.
A
C
A
Miss
catherine,
would
you
like
to
put
that
in
the
form
of
a
motion
at
this
time,
or
would
you
would
you
guys
and
then
you
can
have
discussion
after
you
have
a
motion
in
a
second.
F
F
A
So,
chair
griffin,
you
have
a
motion
in
a
second
and
if
you'll
call
for
a
discussion,
if
there's
any
more
discussion
and
then
just
take
a
boat
and
you'll
have
to
roll
call,
everybody
that's
in
the
meeting
to
get
a
response.
A
Not
a
problem,
this
is
brendan
mills
staff
liaison.
So
there's
been
a
move.
I've
been
in
motion
by
miss
katherine
mitchell
and
properly
seconded
by
lynn
smith.
All
for
discussion.
If
there's
no
more
discussion
about
other
names
that
want
to
be
recommended
to
city
council
to
put
on
this
board,
then
you
take
a
vote,
but
you
also
got
up.
You
have
to
call
every
member's
name
and
they
have
to
vote
verbally.
B
B
B
F
C
A
A
E
Okay,
now
brenda-
I
was
just
excuse
me
aaron.
I
want
to
check
something.
I
knew
we
had
on
one
position
open
and
then
you
said
one
is
being
open
because
of
marvin
chambers.
Isn't
that
a
second
position?
You
have
open.
A
E
Him,
but
I
thought
we
had
another
one
before
that,
brenda,
that
we
hadn't
replaced
too
right.
E
A
E
B
Hi
this
is
aaron
griffith.
I
think
I
got
a
email
about.
Two
terms
are
ending
michael
hayes
and
brandon.
Oliver
is
that
is
anyone
aware
of
that.
A
B
All
right,
this.
D
A
This
is
staff
liaison
brenda
mills
I'll
check
on
that,
for
you
aaron,
and
I
will
let
the
board
know
where
we
are
with
all
those.
I
think
we'll
need
to
ask
them
if
they
want
to
renew
and
if
they
say
yes,
they'll
be
put
forward
to
be
voted
on
by
council
and
then,
if
they
know,
then
we'll
they'll
open
up
a
vacancy
and
they'll.
Let
us
know
when
they'll
be
advertised.
B
Okay,
so
brenda
do
we
have
any
public
comments.
B
All
right,
the
next
regular
meeting
is
scheduled
for
thursday
september
the
9th
2021,
and
remains
virtual
check
on
the
city's
engagement
hub
for
more
directions
on
how
to
participate.
B
B
F
Yeah
yo
aaron
about
the
meaning
being
in
the
vice
chair
that
we
had.
Are
we
gonna
discuss
that
in
any
or
what
what's?
What's
the
deal
on
that
yeah.
F
Yeah
you
you
wanna,
go
in
and
throw
it
out
there.
You
want
me
to.
A
B
A
Unless
you,
unless
you,
you
know,
if
you
are
you
plan
to
make
a
decision
today
or
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
it's
about,
but.
B
It's
really
it's
excuse
me.
It's
aaron
griffin,
it's
really
old
kind
of
old
business,
but
you
know
just
a
different
strategy.
Some
of
the
same
things
that
we
were
talking
about.
You
know
as
far
as
getting
people
to
come
to
speak
to
the
group,
and
we
were
talking
about
really
trying
to
gather
all
the.
B
This
is
the
resources
you
know
to
see
what
what's
going
on
in
the
city
as
far
as
initiatives
and
projects
to
see
how
what's
going
on
for
our
community-
and
you
know
how
we
can
be
a
part
of
it.
A
B
F
Yeah
but
yeah
yeah,
the
goal
was
to
find
out.
What's
all
the
projects
that's
dealing
with
the
african-american
community?
That's
history
related
to
to
get
get
everything
on
the
same
page
just
like,
so
that
we
can
know
what
the
landscape
is
and
and
then
we
can
start
seeing.
Okay.
This
is
happening
on
this
side.
How
can
we
be
like
a
facilitator
or
or
help
give
overall
feedback
on
on
accomplishments
in
the
outcomes
of
these
different
initiatives?
F
That's
happening
around
the
city
around
african-american
history
and
culture
and
specifically
from
neighborhoods
all
the
way
down
to
universities,
and
what
does
that
look
look
like
because
we
got
a
list
from
the
city
a
couple
years
ago
and
it
was
about
25
projects
that
was
going
on
that
some
of
us
didn't
know
anything
about.
So
the
goal
is
to
get
us
educated
about,
what's
currently
happening
out
there
and
then
how
can
we
plug
in
to
be
to
add
some
capacity
to
to
the
flow
of
all
these
projects?.
B
Okay
today,
well,
I
got
a
link
to
the
projects
and
initiatives,
information,
that's
on
the
city
website,
which
is
a
lot.
I
really
I
just
skimmed
through
it,
but
I
think
we
all
should
have
a
should.
We
all
have
a
copy
of
that.
That
link
that
was
sent
out.
A
I
can
send
that
to
you
I'll,
be
glad
to
send
that
to
you
now.
Some
of
those
projects
are
probably
out
of
date.
All
of
those
are
not
current,
and
then
there
are
projects
on
the
city's
on
the
city's
engagement
hub.
So
let
me
just
send
you
a
couple
of
links
to
some
stuff.
Do
all
of
you
get
the
city
e
news,
the
neighborhood
news
most
of
you
get
neighborhood
news,
but
do
you
get
the
city
e-news
you
know
and
on
the
county
side
they
have
a
new.
I
get
the
county
newsletter.
A
They
talk
about
all
their
projects,
so
let
me
just
send
you
some
links
see
what
I
can
do
research-wise
and
then
we'll
get
started
from
there.
I'll
provide
that
as
a
document
for
you
to
share
with
all
of
you,
it
it'll
be
probably
in
the
next
week.
Would
that
be
fine.
A
And
then,
from
that
point
you'll
need,
I
I
think
some
of
you
should
volunteer
like
miss
catherine
is
working
on
the
project
with
the
tda.
To
do
you
know
the
markers
and
why
mavs
got
some
projects
eager
marcus
street,
so
those
are
outside
of
government.
A
B
Yeah
because
I
mean
just
look
at
it's
a
walton
street
park
wesley
grant,
you
know
ash
ashland
avenue.
A
Well,
ashland's
off
the
table.
Okay
and-
and
I
can
give
you
a
report
on
some
of
the
city
projects
next
time-
I'll-
be
glad
to
do
that
and
kind
of
where
we
are
with
those
and
I'll.
Add
that
to
the
agenda
as
a
discussion
for
next
time.
B
A
And
if
you
could
work
on
some
of
the
some
of
the
organizations
that
you're
thinking
about
locally,
I
don't
know
all
of
them.
I
can
try
with
the
ones
that
I
know
and
then
we'll
just
go
from
there.
B
I
would
now
join
the
meeting
unless
there's
objections.
