B
A
And
welcome
to
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
meeting,
which
is
today
June
the
26
2023
and
we're
in
person
at
the
North
conference
room
at
City,
Hall
and
Welcome
to
our
guest
I
would
like
my
name,
is
Babette
Mays
and
I.
Am
the
chair
and
I'm
going
to
ask
the
committee
members
that
are
here
so
far
to
introduce
themselves
and
tell
us
where
they're,
which
areas
that
they're
working
with.
A
And
we
have
Kim
Roney
is
a
city
council
liaison
and
Don
Williams,
just
part
of
our
group,
and
we
also
have
Christina
and
she's
just
stepped
out
we're
still
waiting
for
one
more,
but
we
will
go
on
and
start
I.
Don't
know
if
there's
been
any
public
comment
or.
A
Okay,
so
what
we'll
do
we'll
just
go
on
with
the
let's
just
review
the
agenda,
but
we
won't
vote
on
it
right
now
until
Moore
gets
here,
so
you
can
see
what's
on
here
for
today.
A
And
I
hope
that
we've
all
looked
at
the
minutes
from
from
last
month
so
that
when
we
get
ready
to
vote
on
it,
we'll
just
we'll
have
to
take
time,
we
can
just
make
the
vote
and
that'll
just
count
as
it
goes
on.
So
dog
was
going
to
give
us
our
updates
on
the
independent
Review
Committee
report
on
December
2022
about
the
mortar
outage.
F
Good
afternoon
committee
members,
it's
a
pleasure
to
see
you
all.
This
will
be
just
a
quick
update
for
information
purposes,
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everybody
on
the
committee
was
aware
that
the
independent
Review
Committee
that
studied
the
operations
and
the
communications
around
the
water
outage
we
experienced
in
December
they've,
completed
their
report
and
gave
a
presentation
to
City
Council
on
June
13th.
Within
that
presentation
there
were
some
findings
and
there
were
some
recommendations,
all
of
that's
available
on
the
website.
A
So
now
what
we'll
do
we're
going
to
new
business?
Because
we
don't
want
to
take
up
a
lot
of
time.
We
do
all
having
to
go
with
our
old
business
and
unfinished
business.
So
we're
going
to
start
with
the
new
business.
The
waste
Reduction
Program
Alex
Miller,
Waste,
Reduction,
Program
manager,
Public
Works
city
of
Asheville.
B
G
You,
okay,
this
is
my
first
committee
meeting
of
anything,
so
thank
you
for
having
me
you're
welcome.
Congratulations!
Thank
you!
I
just
started
in
January,
so
I'm
still
new,
okay,
so
I'm
just
gonna
provide
a
couple
of
Sanitation
division
updates
that
are
relevant
to
residents.
G
So
just
to
start
out,
one
of
our
big
changes
this
year
was
happening.
This
year
is
our
yard
waste
collection
change
in
January
of
this
year,
Council
passed
a
change
to
the
yard,
waste
collection,
ordinance
and
effective
August
1st
2023,
which
is
in
about
a
month.
Plastic
bags
for
yardways
collection
are
prohibited
and
sanitation
workers
will
tag
bags
and
leave
for
the
resident
to
transfer
contents
to
an
approved
container
to
be
picked
up
for
their
next
brush
collection
week.
G
This
mailer
was
sent
out
to
all
residents
with
information
on
the
ordinance
change,
as
well
as
some
helpful
FAQs,
a
link
to
the
website.
I
just
mentioned,
and
there's
a
a
graphic
showing
some
approved
and
not
approved
containment
options.
This
is
not
an
exhaustive
list,
so
if
you
have
any
specific
questions,
residents
can
reach
out
to
the
sanitation
department,
which
our
contact
number
is
listed
on.
That
mailer
also
wanted
to
mention
that
one
specific
product,
that's
not
shown
but
is
approved,
is
something
called
a
leaf
burrito.
G
So
if
you
ever
see
that
a
leaf
burrito
a
leaf
burrito,
so
it's
basically
like
a
mesh,
a
heavy
duty,
mesh
tarp
you
unzip,
lay
flat,
can
put
your
leaves
on
it
and
then
you
roll
it
up.
Zip
it
back
up
and
it's
kind
of
like
a
burrito,
it's
a
little
bit
more
expensive,
but
it
is
reusable
a
reusable
container.
So
that
is
a
great
option.
G
G
So
I've
done
some
various
forms
of
Outreach
so
far
to
Residents
such
as
neighborhood
meetings,
social
media,
some
newspaper
ads
and
we'll
continue
through
the
summer
and
into
the
fall.
So
hopefully
a
lot
of
residents
won't
get
this
pink
sticker,
so
just
to
shift
a
little
bit
just
to
cover
some
of
what
my
duties
are,
because
this
is
a
brand
new
position
to
the
city.
G
So
if
you've
never
heard
of
it
before
that's,
okay,
it's
new,
so
I
cover
all
types
of
waste
reduction
for
the
city
in
an
effort
to
decrease
materials,
go
into
the
landfill,
so
that
includes
recycling,
education
and
related
programming,
which
is
like
recycling,
cart,
tagging
and
recycle
right.
Composting,
programming
and
Outreach
litter
and
overall
waste
reduction,
education,
I'm
available
for
presentations
meetings,
just
some
questions
and
chats,
and
just
wanted
to
note
that,
with
a
lot
of
these
initiatives,
we
partner
with
Asheville
GreenWorks
for
coordinated
efforts,
particularly
on
the
litter
projects.
G
So
one
of
the
city's
waste
reduction
initiatives
which
you
may
have
heard
of
is
the
food
scraps
drop-off
drop-off
program,
which
was
created
in
partnership
with
Buncombe
County
residents,
can
register
online
and
use
any
of
the
eight
sites
to
drop
off
food
scraps
to
be
made
into
compost
and
the
finished
compost
is
available
for
purchase
through
Danny's
dumpsters
and,
as
I
said
before,
there
are
now
eight
locations
all
listed
here.
The
last
two,
the
newest
two
locations,
which
were
the
East
Asheville
library
and
the
Leicester
Library
just
opened
last
month.
G
No
so
North
Asheville,
we
were
having
a
bit
of
an
issue
trying
to
figure
out
where
to
go.
So
since
we
partnered
with
the
county
and
it's
with
the
county
libraries,
it's
based
on
kind
of
the
layout
of
the
library,
the
parking
lots-
and
there
was
just
an
issue
with
that
for
some
reason.
But
I
can
ask
our
County
liaison
if
what
that
was,
and
we
are
in
a
maintenance
and
management
mode
for
at
least
a
year.
So
we're
not
going
to
open
any
new
sites
to
see
how
these
eight
go.
G
G
Website,
yes,
all
of
these
sites
are
listed
on
the
website,
as
well
as
these
Graphics
as
what
is
what
can
go
under
the
composting
containers
and
what
cannot
go
and
then
just
a
brief
overview.
As
of
today,
not
the
16th
407
165
pounds
of
food
scraps
have
been
diverted
from
the
landfill
since
the
program
Inception,
which
is
great
and
about
3124
households,
have
registered
for
this
program.
G
As
I
mentioned,
any
Resident
of
Buncombe
County,
which
includes
the
city,
is
they
are
eligible
to
register
and
again
they
can
register
at
that
URL.
We
do
have
free
kitchen
totes
available
per
registered
household
while
supplies
last.
G
So
an
ongoing
initiative
through
sanitation
and
partner
organization
partnership
organizations
is
litter
abatement
and
cleanups.
Currently
we
are
at
the
tail
end
of
the
downtown
safety
initiative
at
the
beginnings
of
contracted
litter
and
biohazard
cleanups
and
ongoing
DIY
cleanup
opportunities
through
Asheville
GreenWorks.
Please
report
any
litter
concerns
via
the
Asheville
app
or
email
sanitation
at
Asheville,
nc.gov.
G
So
they
break
it
up
by
week,
so
north
south
east
and
west
So
within
a
month.
They
cover
the
whole
city,
wow
and
you've
picked
up
more
than
five
thousand
pounds
of
just
roadside
litter.
So
far
on
The
Biohazard
side,
we've
done
one
cleanup
at
the
Aston
Park
bakote
Forest,
where
about
18
1860
pounds
of
trash
was
picked
up,
which
did
not
make
it
into
that
bullet
point.
But
that's
about
how
much
that
was
from
that
one
cleanup
and
then
just
a
few
reminders.
G
Stay
up
to
date
with
AVL
collects,
you
can
download
the
app
and
you
get
reminders
about
your
trash,
Recycling
and
brush
collection.
If
we
have
any
weather
delays
or
holiday
changes.
So
it's
great
to
have.
We
also
have
a
tool
on
there
called
the
waist
wizard
to
find
the
proper
management
of
hundreds
of
items,
residential
sanitation,
Quest,
sanitation
questions.
You
can
email,
sanitation
at
Asheville,
nc.gov
or
call
the
number
listed
again
DIY
cleanups.
G
You
can
go
to
that
link
to
sign
up
your
group,
it's
very
easy
and
then
again
the
food
scrubs
drop-off
program
go
to
the
link
to
register,
and
one
thing
I
did
want
to
mention
that
I
did
not
list
is
that
we
were
approved
for
a
solid
waste
master
plan
which
we
will
be
engaging
the
community
with.
So
just
look
for
that
to
come
within
the
next
year
or
two.
It
will
be
a
long
process.
C
I
have
a
few
questions
Alex.
The
first
one
is
we're
going
to
be
having
a
festival
of
neighborhoods.
Yes,
and
are
you
going
to
be
set
up
there?
Yes,
I
am
oh
fantastic.
G
G
G
C
H
G
G
Yes,
the
whole
goal
with
the
plastic
bags
is
to
create
a
more
efficient
route,
because
our
vendor
could
not
accept
plastic
bags
within
there,
so
they'd
have
the
workers
would
have
to
cut
open
the
bags
and
empty
them
out,
so
it
just
and
generally
the
plastic
bags
are
the
trash
bags
and
you
can't
really
see
what's
in
them
and
they're
tied,
so
it
created
also
a
safety
hazard.
A
Use
just
like
you
do
with
the
the
trash
cans
with
the
lids
that
you
can
use
the
same
thing
for
leaf
disposal,
meaning
that
you
could.
B
A
A
the
burrito
and
all
the
transfer
of
getting
it
into
the
containers
of
where
it's
going
out
it'll
just
be
a
One-Stop.
You
see
it,
you
leave
it
like
a
trash
can,
but
you
would
leave,
they
would
empty
it
out
and
leave
the
cannon.
The
person
would
oh.
B
A
G
Well,
one
one
thing:
we
wanted
to
make
sure
it
wasn't
deep
within
residential,
because
food
scraps
have
smells,
it
can
attract
some
rodents
and
mosquitoes
and
potentially
Bears,
which
is
one
instance
that
you
see
the
white
ones.
We
had
a
previous
bin
before
that
was
not
bear
resistant
and
so
well.
He
had
a
field
day.
Yes,.
C
A
Next
thing
is,
that
is
that
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
access
like
where
I
live,
there's
a
lot
of
seniors
and
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
computer
access.
So
they're
not
really
going
to
be
looking
at
they'll
look
at
papers,
so
is
there
any
way
that
some
of
this
information
that
you've
given
out
that
can
go
to
the
community?
So
people
can
read
them
instead
of
having
to
look
them
up,
because
a
lot
of
this
is
not
Savvy
with
yes,.
G
So
I
have
been
doing
a
couple
of
presentations,
including
one
at
a
retirement
home
and
I
brought
paper
copies
with
me,
so
they
could
fill
it
out
there
and
I
take
them
and
register
them
so
they're
all
good
to
go
it
just
I
would
probably
have
to
come
to
the
meeting
to
do
that.
So
I
can
collect
them
back
so
not
having
to
worry
about
mailing
in
anything.
So.
A
J
Is
just
right:
peq,
that's
what
it
stands
for,
peq!
That's
all
right!
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
this
afternoon
and
everybody
should
have
in
front
of
you
a
fact
sheet
and
it's
printed
on
front
back.
One
of
mine
has
some
of
the
printing
off.
So
if
it's,
if
it's
bleeding
off,
let
me
know
and
I
want
to
before
I
get
started.
J
Thank
cape
and
Christina
Israel
for
inviting
me
this
afternoon
and
for
having
me
before
you
today
to
talk
about
a
very,
very
important
topic,
which
is
storm
water
planning
and
issues.
So
I
am
here
and
I'm,
accompanied
by
Amy
Dayton
with
the
stormwater
services
division,
she's,
our
client
and
we
I'm
a
part
of
a
team
of
Consultants
conducting
the
stormwater
assessment
that
is
examining
the
future
and
current
needs
of
stormwater
issues
around
the
city
of
Asheville.
J
We
don't
see
it
because
it's
beneath
us,
but
we
sure
experience
it
when
we
see
that
flooding
and
the
drainage
problems
and,
of
course,
with
some
of
the
rain
events
that
we're
having
now
where
there
is
a
sudden
Deluge
of
of
rain
that
comes
down
in
a
short
period
of
time.
It
really
impacts
the
system,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
all
of
those
things
and
the
the
importance
of
having
the
and
one
other
thing.
J
You're
growing
exponentially
you're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
growth
in
the
Asheville
community
in
the
next
few
decades,
and
so
you
have
to
prepare
for
that
as
well.
So
all
of
that
all
of
those
reasons
are
the
purpose
of
the
stormwater
assessment
study.
J
One
of
the
things
that
we
that's
important
as
I
mentioned
to
the
study,
is
community
engagement
and
hearing
from
the
community
about
some
of
the
issues
that
you
might
be
experiencing
out
there
that
the
city
doesn't
know
about
and
what
we
can
do
and
what
the
city
can
do
about
fixing
them
and
making
sure
that
they're,
including
in
included
in
this
assessment.
So
we've
started
a
process
of
community
engagement
moving
around
the
city
to
hear
from
people
you're.
The
third
event
we
were
out
in
the
city
on
Saturday
at
the
Asheville
downtown
Market.
J
We
were
at
the
Peyton
Forest
neighborhood
association,
where
I
learned
a
lot
about,
bears
and
containers
that
that
are
specially
designed
for
Bears.
But
we
want
to
move
around
continue
moving
around
the
city
over
the
next
couple
of
months
and
I
call
it
roving
and
going
to
where
the
people
are.
Instead
of
asking
everyone
to
come
to
a
community
meeting
and
learn
more.
J
As
I
mentioned,
we
were
out
Saturday
we're
not
bound
by
the
day
of
the
week.
We
work
seven
days
a
week.
Sometimes
we
find
ourselves
at
places
of
worship
on
Sunday
morning,
and
sometimes
we
find
ourselves
like
Saturday
afternoon
at
a
neighborhood
association
in
a
lady's
backyard
right.
So
nothing
is
is
off
limits
when
it
comes
to
reaching
the
community
and
making
sure
that
they
have.
This
very,
very
important
information.
J
If
you'd
like
to
share
them
with
others,
there
is
a
web
web
page
that
you
can
go
to
and
learn
more
and
there
is
an
especially
a
survey
on
public
input.com
that
you
can
share
information
and
photos,
and
somebody
told
me
Saturday
that
they
had
a
20
minute,
video
that
they
wanted
to
upload
and
share,
and
so
we're
looking
for
a
feedback
that
is
Meaningful
and
and
where
the
city
can
make
an
impact
and
have
an
impact
in
your
community.
So
I'm
going
to
stop
there
and.
J
C
J
Yes,
all
the
Departments
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
is
given
feedback
and
an
opportunity
to
give
input
not
only
on
the
technical
side,
but
also
some
with
some
of
the
things
that
they're
doing
and-
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are-
are
not
overloading
the
community
with
with
Outreach,
and
we
call
it
public
meeting,
fatigue
or
Outreach
fatigue.
We
want
to
share
those
opportunities,
so,
yes,
that
they.
C
Are
many
times
in
the
fall
of
the
year
when
the
leaves
gather
into
the
drainage
they
clog
up
the
the
ditches
where
all
the
storm
water
is
going
and
then,
when
it's
released,
it
then
has
a
tendency
to
do
a
back
wash,
and
then
it
goes
all
over
the
place.
Is
that
something
that
you
would
be
interested
come
to
see
so
that
you
could
actually
address
it?
Or
is
that
something
that
you
would
then
turn
over
to
MSD
or
some
other
department
to
have
them.
J
Some
of
both,
if
there's
a
specific
location
and
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that
so
on
the
front
page,
now
look
at
that
photo
to
the
left
and
that's
a
that's
an
example
of
some
sleeves
so
on
on
Saturday
at
the
farmer's
market.
One
of
the
people
who
visited
the
table
told
me
that
they
have
a
neighbor
who
intentionally
blows
leaves
into
intentionally
into
the
drain.
Now
she
thinks
it's
intentionally.
It
could
be
that
it
that
they
don't
know
or
it
could
be
some
of
both.
J
But
that's
why
we're
out
we're
making
sure
that
we're
educating
people
on
the
hazards
of
doing
that?
A
lot
of
people
may
not
know
that
blowing
leaves
into
the
stormwater
drain
like
that
is
detrimental
to
the
to
the
infrastructure.
Yes,
and
so
that's
a
very,
very
good
example
of
what
we
have
to
do
relative
to
educating
the
community
regarding
stormwater
and
their
behavior,
our
Behavior,
our
Behavior
impacts
it
as
well.
So
it's
aging!
J
And
so
it's
Inga
Inga,
I
n
g,
a
and
last
name
is
Kennedy.
Okay
and
you
may
want
to
put
it
down
there
beside
the
the
the
agenda
item
and
it's
it's
just
my
first
name:
I-n-g-a
at
peq,
Paul,
egg,
Queen,
p-e-q,
p,
q,
p
e,
like.
C
C
J
Com
Inga
at
p
e
q,
a
t,
l.com
and
I
also
heard
you
mention
the
festival,
the
neighbor
Festival
neighborhoods,
and
so
we're
looking
to
get
out
into
the
community,
we'll
be
at
the
West
Asheville
Business
Association
tomorrow
morning,
we'll
be
at
the
River
Arts
District
business
meeting
tomorrow
afternoon,
and
so
we're
we're
looking
to
continue
that
momentum.
J
That's
very,
very
important
and
regarding
that
I
picked
up
also
a
brochure
of
the
of
the
the
Iraq
outside
that
is
an
educational
brochure
on
prevention,
storm
water
prevention
guide,
and
that
has
a
lot
of
things
related
to
what
we,
as
residents,
can
do
for
to
help
and
assist
the
city
in
managing
and
protecting
the
stormwater.
J
So,
yes,.
D
J
Are
we're
meeting
just
like
we're
meeting
with
you
all
we'll
be
meeting
with
them
as
well,
and
that's
very,
very
important.
I
was
downtown
Saturday
and
there
were
lots
of
people
downtown,
Saturday
and
I'm
sure
a
large
majority
were
tourists
you
could
tell,
and
and
so
we'll
be
meeting
with
all
of
those
those
organizations
in
in
the
same
way,
right.
D
J
J
That
that's
right
and
changing
Linens
and
things
and
washing
things
every
day
and
so
I
think
they're
looking
at
all
of
those
processes
to
conserve
water
and
to
conserve
energy
in
general
and
so
I
I
think
that's
a
very
good
thing.
But,
yes,
we
will
be
meeting
with
all
of
those
organizations.
A
J
Well,
it
it
could
get
into
groundwater,
and
so
that
could
be
that
could
then
impact
the
drinking
water
sources,
so
it
could
get
into,
but
the
state
no
longer
allows
septic
tanks
and
in
some
places
in
some
rural
places
you
do
but
they're
they're
grandfathered
in,
but
there
are
some
places
that
no
longer
allow
septic
tanks.
Amy
correct
me
in
the
city
right
right,
yeah
in
the
rural
areas,
certainly
where.
A
Guess
that
because
I
live
in
considered
a
city
in
the
county
and
I
have
to
have
a
septic
tank
with
the
people
across
my
driveway
have
a
city
water.
They
don't
have.
A
J
H
J
But
the
good
thing
is
in
the
city:
no
longer
septic
tanks
are
no
longer
allowed.
Okay
and
we'll
look
forward
to
hearing
anything
else.
I
know
you're
going
to
leave
here
and
say:
hey
I
wish
I
had
told
her
this
or
I'm
thinking
about
this,
or
this
is
going
on
use
my
email
and
let
me
know,
what's
happening
and
we'll
look
to
hear
about
the
Festival
of
neighborhoods
and
what's
the
day.
F
J
Okay,
good
I'm
gonna
leave
these
fact
sheets
here.
Please
do
and
and
I
have
plenty,
and
if
you,
because
I
heard
you
say
about
people
and
that's
why
we
print
them
a
lot
of
people
do
things
online
and
we
respect
that.
But
we
also
respect
the
fact
that
often
a
lot
of
people
don't,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
all
of
the
materials
and
tools
for
everyone
to
know
about
the
project
and
how
to
get
in
contact
with
us.
C
J
C
A
F
B
F
B
C
C
A
A
B
A
Christina,
did
you
want
to
just
kind
of
talk
about
the
New
neck
members
appointments?
You
can
just
kind
of
like
give
us
some
just
who.
K
They
are
yeah
I'd,
be
happy
to
do
that
at
their
June
13th
council
meeting
Council
appointed
your
three
new
members
that
are
going
to
start
in
July
Dane,
Berger,
Sandra,
frempong
and
Joe
Taylor.
K
I
A
D
Yeah
absolutely
so
we
had
a
meeting
on
June,
7th
and
Christina
at
Meredith
from
the
city
were
there
Jake
and
Laura
and
I
were
there
and
we
discussed
all
the
next
steps
and
what
we
wanted
to
do
since
then,
we've
gotten
an
email
I've
got
an
email
sent
out
to
80,
plus
neighborhood
contacts.
D
Ask
telling
them
first
to
save
the
day,
telling
them
what
the
objective
was
of
the
Festival
of
neighborhoods
asking
who
might
be,
who
might
want
to
be
involved
in
the
planning.
We'd
really
like
to
get
sort
of
widespread
across
the
city
representation
on
the
work
group
to
add
to
our
work
group
and
then
also
that
to
be
thinking
about
if
their
neighborhood
association
would
like
to
participate
in
the
form
of
attendant
or
an
activity.
D
D
B
D
The
80
plus
neighborhood
contacts
I
got
seven
responses,
six
that
wanted
to
be
involved
so
far.
We
gave
them
a
deadline
of
Friday
because
I
wanted
to
have
some
numbers
but
and
I
sent
that
back
out
to
the
work
group,
the
six
contacts
and
the
neighborhoods
they
represent
and
I
feel
like
it's
not
as
widespread.
There
were
a
lot
of
North
Central
representations
for
that
work.
Group
and
that's
great
and
I,
would
love
to
resend
it
out
to
the
neighborhoods
again
and
say:
hey
anybody
from
West
South
part
of
this.
D
Set
a
meeting
in
the
next
next
week
or
two
for
the
next
work
group
and
I've
just
had
a
document
here.
Moira
was
just
sitting
tonight.
She
started
a
document
about
the
criteria,
and
this
is
just
up
for
discussion.
So
any
input
that
you
have,
one
of
the
things
we
were
talking
about
is
what
should
a
neighborhood
offer?
What
are
some
some
of
the
criterias
that
no
food
unless
it's
by
donation,
they
can't
sell
food,
otherwise
they
fall
under
that.
D
What
is
it
the
help
of?
What's
the.
D
D
Of
the
ideas
so
far
is
what
to
give
out
or
as
far
as
history,
contributions
to
ask
Asheville
things
that
the
activities
that
they
can
have
at
their
tent.
We
really
didn't
have
a
whole
lot
else
yet
about
the
criteria
for
applications,
but
we
need
to
get
that
squared
away,
so
we
can
send
out
that's
what
we
hope
to
do
in
the
next
working
group
meeting
we've
got
three
main
teams:
activities,
food
and
sort
of
marketing
and
advertising
and
under
the
activities
I'm
going
to
be
sort
of
the
lead
for
the
neighborhood
projects.
D
F
K
Take
the
lead
on
the
internal
like
the
city
staff
involvement,
yes
yeah
and
she's
she's
going
to
be
sort
of
your
internal
Project
Lead,
just
in
general,
I've
we've
been
working
on.
You
know,
sort
of
passing
that
responsibility
over
to
her
this
week
and
she's
really
excited
to
bring
her
expertise
with
Municipal
event
planning
to
the
festival.
So
yeah.
E
D
All
the
all
of
that
stuff
Jake
is
your
guy
there
and
then
Moira
is
going
to
work
on
the
Flyers,
the
radio
ads
any
kind
of
sponsorships
and
work
with
more
of
the
business
side
any
if
there's
space-
and
we
don't
have
tents
taken
up
from
the
neighborhood
associations
in
other
groups,
that
we
have
any
business
and
so
she's
working
on
the
criteria.
For
that.
D
D
D
C
Park
Association
do
you
have
grow
Park.
D
K
K
D
There
was
another
person
that
responded
from
darm
d-a-r-n.
Anybody
know.
D
D
A
D
D
See
if
anybody
else,
plus
these
that
have
already
responded
set
a
day
for
the
next
two
days
or
so
and
then
go
from
there
develop
the
criteria,
see
what
else,
what
other
next
steps
are
and
start
getting?
Some
applications
here
of.
E
A
A
Well,
Sharon
is
not
here,
not
the
feeling.
Well
said
some
problems,
so
what
we'll
do
now?
Is
you
want
to
give
us
a
multi,
mobile
transportation
report?
Yes,.
D
Trying
to
look
back
and
notes
the
multimodal
Transportation
Commission
meeting
last
month
we
were
voting
on
new
members.
Deciding
on
ad
Dennis
who
has
been
the
chair
is
stepping
down
and
Jack.
Eigelman
was
elected.
Chair
of
the
mmtc
's
But
If
You
Don't
Know
Jack
he's
been
very
instrumental
in
harmony,
Creek,
Greenway
and
West
Asheville
fundraisers
around
that
Greenway
they've
been
involved
with
that
for
years.
D
It
was
on
how
long
things
could
be
left
on
city
sidewalks,
whatever
that
was
called.
There
was
a.
D
People's
property
bikes
strollers
things
like
that,
and
so
we
were
debating
how
to
enforce
that
and
what
they
were
going
to
propose.
The
committee
that
was
in
charge
of
that,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
they
were
proposing
was
that
you
could
leave
things
for
72
hours.
After
that
there
would
be
a
process
where
you
can
get
a
sticker
saying.
You
need
to
remove
this
within
seven
days
and
then,
of
course,
there
was
a
lot
of
debate
about
what
happened
with
gear
that
is
collected.
The
city
doesn't
have
you
know.
D
D
Process
traffic
data
about
who
is
coming
into
the
city
and
county
who
was
leaving
where
were
they
coming
from
the
teleworking
percentage?
Everything
from
people
that
are
walking
to
work
biking
has
gone
down,
carpooling
has
gone
down,
walking
to
work
has
been
about
flat.
The
teleworking
has
gone
so
looking
at
those
traffic
patterns,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
interesting
to
see
about
all
the
data
they
presented
was
that
it
was
easy
to
see
how
many
people
were
working
in
Asheville
but
not
living
there.
A
So
the
data
they
took
that
was
collected
was
showing
that
the
people
that
work
in
the
city
do
not
live
in
the
city.
So
that's
a
problem
when
traffic
is
so
like
going
up
on
Hendersonville
Road
is
so
bad
at
certain
times
of
the
day
or
Patton
Avenue
going
back
that
way,
because
people
are
not
living
inside
of
the
area.
D
B
A
The
annual
Retreat
meeting
in
August
and
I'm
wondering
Darwin
that
we're
probably
still
going
to
have
to
have
that
meeting
in
July
right
because
we
didn't
have
all
this
today.
So
we
can
kind
of
like
get
that
one.
F
That
may
that
sounds
like
a
smart
idea.
Just
knowing
that
the
annual
Retreat
meetings
coming
up
in
August,
it
could
be
an
opportunity
as
a
group
to
discuss
it
how
what
the
approach
will
be
and
I
do
feel
confident
after
City
council's
work
session
last
week
that
the
goals
that
they
agreed
upon
will
be
ready
for
you
all
in
August.
When
you
start
looking
at
what
the
next
year
will
look
like
so
I
think
it'll.
A
And
then,
plus
that
we
have
the
new
members
coming
in
in
July,
and
that
would
be
good
won't.
They
come
the
first
of
July,
the
July
meeting.
They
will
so
there'll
be
an
idea
for
them
to
actually
get
up
to
speed
with
what
the
retreat
was
giving
some
information
on
what
it
would
be
like,
and
so
they
will
be
prepared.
A
Okay-
and
you
said
the
Candace
pickings
Pickett's
Park
update
is
October.
What
are
they
gonna
do
in
October.
C
C
And
so
my
question
to
the
group
would
be:
would
you
like
for
me
to
reach
out
to
David
Rogers
to
talk?
Come
talk
at
our
meeting
at
your
meeting
on
July
about
the
Candace,
Pickens
Park
and
the
project
that
they
are
putting
together?
It
was
on
the
agenda
for
July
and
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
reach
out
to
him
in
time
to
be
here
at
that
meeting
or
someone
else
can
take
that
responsibility.
K
C
A
I
I
do
appreciate
everyone.
Who's
able
to
attend.
I
did
have
an
invitation
this
past
week
to
visit
with
some
neighbors
in
the
South
Side
neighborhood
about
when
there's
repairs
being
made
to
infrastructure
like
roads
due
to
water
system
maintenance.
What
happens
if
the
repairs
are
incomplete?
I
was
curious
if
there's
a
process
to
guide
them
through
other
than
just
responding
to
staff.
So
once
I
have
a
better
answer
to
that,
I
feel
like
neighborhoods.
This
is
something
you
probably
hear
a
lot
in
your
neighborhoods
and
having
a
process.
I
That
is
maybe
it's
a
complaint
process,
or
maybe
it's
just
like
an
outline
of
procedures
of
what
to
expect
also
acknowledging
that
the
downtown
neighborhood
is
also
a
neighborhood.
There
is
information
on
the
city
of
Asheville's
website
about
the
new
3
million
dollar
Grant
to
implement
the
community's
vision
in
and
around
pack
Square
Plaza.
So
for
more
information
on
the
award
of
the
melon
Foundation
Grant,
you
can
visit
Asheville
nc.gov,
that's
it
for
today.
Do
you
all
have
anything
I
can
do
to
support
your
work.
C
B
C
There
are
new
presidents,
okay,.
