If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
D
And
I
appreciate
your
attention
as
we
call
this
meeting
the
order.
Community
reparations
Commission,
we'll
begin
with
the
welcome.
E
D
C
D
Is
our
last
meeting
for
the
year,
our
next
meeting?
If
you
go
down
to
the
end
of
your
agenda
scheduled
for
January
the
9th,
so
that
will
be
the
beginning
of
2023,
but
as
it's.
D
I
thought
it
might
be
appropriate
to
to
to
give
you
a
couple
of
thoughts
to
take
with
you
over
the
holidays.
D
She
said
to
me
that
it
sounds
like
you
are
building
the
plane,
as
it's
gone
and
I
said
to
her
that
that's
probably
an
accurate
description,
because
that's
how
I
feel
about
it,
sometimes
because
many
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
here
in
this
room
and
at
our
meetings
are
actually
the
first
time
they've
been
taking
the
conversation
to
the
deaf
and
taking
it.
D
D
You
have
spoken
to
me
individually.
Several
years,
I
should
say,
are
totally
individually
and
express
concern
about
the
lack
of
productivity
that
we
have
and
I'm
saying
to
you
from
a
certain
perspective,
your
productivity
is
to
be
applauded
and
I
think
it
is
an
anticipation
of
what
is
to
come
in
2023.,
don't
lose
sight
of
the
prize.
Y'all,
don't
lose
sight
of
the
pride
it's
coming
Discovery,
but
my
question
to
you
that
I'd
like
to
leave
was
simple
as
simple
as
this
suppose
it
doesn't
suppose.

comments
Corrections,
and
even
if
there
are
comments
and
Corrections
that
you
find
later,
please
feel
free
to
introduce
them.
Let
us
know
seeing
that
now
accept
this
as
unanimous.
D
F
G
Everyone
good
evening,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
so
again:
I'm
Christine,
Edwards
I,
am
our
project
manager
for
the
community,
reparations
commission
and
I'm
just
going
to
be
going
over
some
of
our
survey
data
I'm
not
going
to
be
reviewing
it
in
detail
because
you
do
have
this
information
printed
in
your
packet.
I
appreciate
y'all,
encouraging
one
another
to
go
ahead
and
submit
your
responses
on
the
on
the
survey.
G
We
did
get
18
responses
on
the
survey
from
the
November
7th
meeting
overwhelmingly
for
question
one:
did
you
have
the
opportunity
to
express
your
ideas,
thoughts
and
opinions
17
out
of
the
18
Express?
Yes
to
that
question
when,
when
asked
to
rate
the
overall
assessment
of
the
November
7th
meeting
overwhelmingly
folks
responded
very
satisfied
and
moderately
satisfied,
and
we
also
have
some
open-ended
comments
from
question
three
and
four.
What
did
you
like
most
about
the
November
7th
meeting
and
what
needed
Improvement
and
so
I?
G
Think
last
time,
I
went
through
the
comments
because
we
only
had
eight
of
them,
but
we
have
quite
a
few
more
comments,
but
that's
a
good
thing,
because
I
want
you
to
know
that
we
are
reading
these
comments
and
we're
digesting
them
and
we're
doing
our
best
to
really
respond
to
them
in
a
really
direct
manner.
G
So
I
want
you
all
to
please
review
those
and
just
know
that
we
are
going
to
be
more
productive
as
a
group
and
more
responsive
from
what
from
from
the
areas
that
I
can
manage
directly,
for
example,
making
sure
that
we
get
agendas
out
to
you
ahead
of
time
so
that
you
can
review
materials
and
getting
those
updates
to
you
shortly
after
our
meetings
so
that
you
can
stay
up
to
date
on
everything
all
right.
E
So
I'm
not
sure
how
many
people
had
a
chance
to
read
the
survey,
but
the
surveys
and
I
said
the
results.
E
There
were
some
one
thing
is:
we
are
as
Christina
stated,
reading
the
surveys
and
we
are
responding
to
the
surveys
and
the
success
of
this
process
is
our
response
and
and
how
we
respond
and
how
we
react
to
what's
going
on
in
the
surveys.
The
surveys
are
super
important,
so,
if
you
haven't
been
completely,
no,
please
do
because
everybody's
opinion
on
this
process
is
valuable.
E
Y'all
are
a
big
part
of
what's
making
this
move.
Y'all
are
deep
part,
so
I
definitely
want
more
people
to
participate.
We
have
did
have
a
comment
that
was
a
little
unsettling
very
well
very
much
so
unsettling
to
us
as
a
commission,
because
one
thing
is
everybody
on
this:
commission
brings
the
skills
State,
everybody
brings
knowledge,
skills
and
experience.
Nobody
on
here
is
without
any
of
those
things,
and
so
we
have
to
adjust
it
and
we
have
to
adjust
it
as
a
commission.
E
Now
this
was
a
comment
that
probably
could
have
been
handled
and
our
follow-up
meetings
or
with
the
leadership
team
team
of
this
process.
But
this
is
a
commission
decision
and
we
need
to
know
how
to
address
these
type
of
things.
If
it
were
to
happen
again,
but
it's
something
like
this
is
new,
so
those
processes
haven't
been
created,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
create
that
process
for
which
we
handle
these
type
of
situations,
because
everyone
is
valuable.
E
Nobody
is
more
valuable
than
the
other
person
at
this
table.
They're
not
respected
to
our
roles
in
this
process
or
anything.
We
are
all
on
the
same
Level,
Playing
Field,
and
so
we
have
been
talking
and
we
wanted
to
bring
us
to
the
commission,
because.
C
E
We
want
to
talk
to
the
commission
about
what
do
you
do
in
this
type
of
situation,
where
someone
has
been
physically
confrontational
with
another
commission
member,
for
whatever
reason,
how
do
we
respond
to
that
as
a
commission?
What
are
your
thoughts?
What
is
the
best
practice?
What
are
the
best
next
steps
for
responding
to
that
type
of
Behavior
buy
another
commission
member.
B
E
I
And
I
think
that
we
will
all
put
on
this
commission
for
a
purpose.
No
one
is
in
a
position
in
on
this
commission
to
even
physically
arm.
You
know
just
verbally
say
something
to
someone,
because
we're
not
in
that
role.
If
there's
something
that
should
be
addressed
on
that
scale,
that
should
be
something
that
the
city
and
the
county
should
be
a
part
of.
I
It's
not
we're
not
supposed
to
be
when
we
haven't
gotten
as
far
and
we
know
they're
going
to
be
challenges,
but
if
we
can't
work
with
each
other,
then
maybe
it's
not
a
place
or
a
form
someone
if
they
feel
like
that
they
they
can
take
on
that
kind
of
position,
because
it's
going
to
get
as
we
go
forward.
It's
going
to
be
more
more
and
more
and
more,
and
it's
going
to
get
more
serious.
I
So
if
we
can't
address
it
and
have
something
to
say
about
it
now
that
it
will
not
ever
happen
again,
then
we're
family
as
a
commission,
so
I
think
that
would
be
something
that
maybe
the
city
and
the
county
would
probably
give
us
some
more
input
on
how
to
handle
it,
because
I'm
really
just
disbarried
about
this
I'm
I'm.
Just
you
know
it
didn't
happen
to
me
and
I.
I
I
I
B
Have
to
agree
with
Barbara
Milan
it
is
safety
is
a
big.
You
see
the
balance
happening
in
this
country
that
you
don't
want
to
feel.
Like
you
you're
going
into
another
space,
that's
not
safe.
We
we're
very
productive,
and
if
we're
going
to
do
something
productive,
we
need
to
feel
like
we're
going
to
say
space
too
and
again.
I'm
with
you,
I
have
no
clueless.
You
know
all
that.
B
It
will
not
have
to
wait
until
the
end
of
the
month
or
the
first
of
the
month
or
whatever,
but
a
reprimand
happens
when
the
when
the
event
happens,
so
that
it
does
not
occur
again
and
that
we
know
that
when
it
goes
out
and
somebody
else
hears
it
in
the
public
or
whatever
it
has
already
been
handled,
and
it
is
put
to
the
show
so
I
mean
I,
don't
I
know
you
can't
say
the
name
or
any,
but
is
the
the
surveys?
Are
not
this
way,
but
you
can
see
the
name.
J
E
Okay,
but
like
I,
think
we
struggle
like
me
and
the
mother
was
like
we
don't.
We
never
been
struggling
with
this
for
the
last
week,
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
handle
this
and
how
to
bring
this
to
the
commission.
So
one
thing
it
is
public.
This
is.
This
survey
goes
out
publicly
with
all
of
our
public
documents
that
go
out,
and
so
it
is
public,
and
so
the
address
has
to
be
public.
You
know
what
I
mean
like
that's
the
reality,
because
one
thing
is
like
we
struggle
with.
E
What
kind
of
look
is
that
for
us
as
a
commission
as
this
goes
out
and
we
fix
it
in
private
and
nobody
knows
then
it's
looking
like
we
didn't
do
anything
to
respond
to
something
that
is
so
public
and
it's
harmful
to
the
work
that
we're
doing,
and
so
that's
why
we
bring
it
to
the
full
commission,
because
it
should
be
a
conversation
of
all
of
us.
It
shouldn't
be
just
me
and
him,
making
the
decision
or
working
with
the
city
to
make
a
decision
on
the
behalf
of
this
commission.
E
E
E
B
And
so
my
point
was
that
we
should
take
this
a
surveying
point
and
use
it
to
ask
our
facilitators
and
legal
to
construct
a
code
of
conduct
and
the
ramifications
if
it's
broken
and
to
come,
and
to
bring
that
back
to
you,
foreign.
J
B
B
Is
that
you
don't
ever
know
when
another
person
may
explode
or
what
will
happen?
So
you
need
to
to
remove
whatever
tensions
that
are
there.
We
as
and
I,
have
to
go
here.
We
as
black
people
have
to
learn
how
to
control
our
emotions
to
a
point
to
where
it
is
a
professional
way,
and
if
we
are
all
sitting
around
this
room
and
we
are
professional-
we
should
not
be
in
that
mode.
B
I
The
feelings
going
on
like
that
is
a
so
I.
Don't
want
you
to
feel
something
but
I
think.
Let
me
say
this
I
think
that
we're
trying
to
absorb
this,
because
we've
just
said
yeah
and
I-
think
that
the
the
responsibility
of
us
as
a
commission
that
we
have
to
address
this
issue,
but
something
else
has
to
be
in
place
so
that
it
will
be
known
from
the
very
beginning.
I
That
cannot
happen
again,
because
if
anybody
felt
that
way,
that's
sad
because
we're
all
adults
we're
all
adults,
we're
all
we're
all
in
different
spaces
where
we
are
professionals
and
we
don't.
If
you
were
in
a
in
a
job,
this
would
not
be
acceptable,
so
I
say
to
Dr
Mullins
and
to
you,
we've
already
told
you
how
it
makes
us
feel
unsafe.
It
makes
us
feel
like
if
it
can
happen
once
it
can
happen
again
because
I
don't
know
what
gave
the
person
a.
I
However,
this
happened
the
right
to
be
able
to
speak
to
someone
else
like
that.
But
that
means
that's
not
acceptable
in
this
group,
so
something
has
to
be
done
outside
to
get
and
and
to
go
forward.
So
it
can
never
happen
again
and
that's
that's
the
only
thing
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
brought
it
to
us
I
do
appreciate
it
because
we
I'm
I'm,
like
I,
didn't
know,
oh
I,
think
most
of
the
people
in
this
room.
We
had
no
knowledge
of
that.
This
had
happened.
I
L
M
So
just
recognizing
the
harm
that
may
come
up
in
this
space
and
then
I
wanted
to
make
a
note
on
the
statement
of
commitment
and
conduct
its
references.
That
I
therefore
voluntarily
agree
to
make
these
commitments
in
their
entirety
and
further
agree
that
I
will
resign.
My
commission,
my
commissionership
immediately
if
I
fail
to
meet
these
requirements
right
and
I
think
being
safe
is
the
most
important
thing.
E
N
Out
within
these
two
hours,
like
the
old
news,
new
news,
like
we
just
everything
like
changes
to
the
project
manager
like
everything
is,
has
to
be
done
within
these
two
hours
and
like
45
minutes
talking
about
what
transpired
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
last
month,
I
just
feel
like
we
needed
like
a
work
session,
so
we
can
communicate
like
a
public,
email
or
public
post
to
the
social
media,
like
that's,
not
a
work
session
for
us
like
we're
finding
out
some
of
this
stuff,
like
at
the
same
time
in
the
public
and
I,
just
feel
like
a
work
session,
will
allow
us
to
to
get
Beyond
some
of
these
issues
that
we
have.
N
So
we
can
just
address
what
we're
here
for
we're
spend
a
lot
of
time
just
finding
out
and
addressing
new
news
catching
everybody
up
today.
That's
like
the
first
30
45
minutes
of
the
of
the
meeting.
I
sit
on
a
lot
of
boards,
not
all,
but
a
lot
of
boys
have
closed
work
sessions,
but
I'm
not
sure
how
the
structure
go
with
the
law,
and
you
know
the
transparency
thing
I'm
like.
Can
we
just
have
that
because
we're
here
streaming
as
if
we're
like,
we
don't
have
it
together,
but.
E
Meeting
here
tonight
so
I
think
that's
a
lot
of
that.
Work
goes
on
and
now
focus
groups
as
well
and
a
lot
of
those
conversations,
but
in
the
means
of
this
one
this
had
to
hit
it
moves
it
hit
whatever
it.
You
know
what
I
mean.
This
is
public
information
and
so
for
those
who
don't
read
the
packets
when
they
send
out.
E
This
was
the
time
for
us
to
have
that
conversation,
because
we
needed
that
conversation
and
I
understand
exactly
what
you,
but
in
the
means
of
time,
I
am
going
to
move
forward
because
I
do
need.
You
know
what
I
mean,
and
so
the
next
item
online
agenda
is
old.
Business,
immediate
recommendation,
stop
the
harm,
not
the
most
all
right.
Promoting
your
own
I
wrote
this
and
I'm
going
to
ask
the
wanted
to
leave
the
conversation
on
that
he
was
so
at
the
last
meeting.
E
We
all
got
the
recommendation
from
Dr
Mark
on
the
first
recommendation
of
stopping
the
harm,
and
so
if,
if
it's
kind
of
cool
that
when
we
when
I
met
with
the
economic
Economic
Development,
both
this
group,
that
was
something
that
came
out
of
that
focus
group
was
like.
How
are
we
here
making
Solutions
when
the
harms
continue
like
how
we
trying
to
fix
something
while
the
horns
are
still
existing
and
are
continually
been
perpetuated
so
against
black
people?
You
know
what
I
mean
so
I'm
going
to
read
this.
E
This
is
now
up
for
vote.
It
was
presented
at
the
last
meeting,
so
it's
now
up
to
vote
from
the
commission,
the
C-section,
the
sensation
of
assurance
and
guarantee
of
no
repetition
of
institutional
processes
that
lead
to
racially
disparate
outcomes.
E
As
the
city
and
Buncombe
County,
Board
of
commission
was
August
2020
that
they
were
responsible
and
complicit
in
the
actions
that
injured
African
Americans
as
the
reparations
Commission
formulates
recommendations
that
will
address
injuries
that
have
resulted
in
the
spirit
outcomes
and
education
and
health
and
wellness
housing,
Economic,
Development
and
Justice.
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
the
city
and
county
sees
harms
that
continue
to
injure
and,
in
turn,
intense
intensified
disparities.
E
An
official
audit
must
be
completed
by
the
city
and
county
of
where
Asheville
and
Buffalo
County
are
in
compliance
and
out
of
compliance
with
federal
and
state
laws.
Regulatory
bodies,
code
of
conducts
court
orders
and
consent,
decrees
and
audit
would
allow
for
the
acceptance
of
guarantees
that
the
cessation,
the
cessation,
has
actually
occurred.
The
verification
of
facts,
slash
data
that
are
publicly
disclosed
would
be
a
part
of
such
Anatomy
harm
or
threats
to
the
safety
and
interests
of
African
Americans
must
be
prevented
and
any
violation
must
be
prosecuted.
A
E
O
O
K
E
D
It
can
be
dragged
out
for
who
knows
how
long
and
I
think
that
who
collects
the
data
should
be
screwed
back
I!
Wonder
about
our
willingness
to
accept
critical
data
from
the
very
people
whom
we
are
suspected
or
have
perpetrated
violations.
K
G
Also
just
real
quickly,
because
this
is
a
really
big
step
for
this
commission
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
facilitate
the
movement
of
this
recommendation
on
to
the
city
and
county
government.
So
I
want
to
be
able
to
offer
that.
As
a
reminder,
the
role
of
the
commission
is
to
put
forth
recommendations
that
are
then,
as
I
understand,
City
and
County
government
to
be
received
by
governing
bodies
and
adopted
by
the
governing
bodies.
G
C
G
New
process
I
think
that,
for
example,
there
are
multiple
municipalities
that
have
explored
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
policies
that
go
on
a
city-wide
scale,
Buncombe
County
I
believe
is
one
of
those,
and
so
at
that
level
do
we
accept
that,
as
as
an
audit
do
you
know
what
I
mean?
Do
we
accept
that
type
of
policy,
development
and
creation?
Or
do
you
want
to
research,
other
cities,
municipalities
across
the
country
that
have
done
something
deeper
than
that
or
something
broader?
You
know
what
I
mean
so
I
think
that
that's
what
I
will
offer
there.
J
I
I
It
is
usually
expected
that,
as
Einstein
said,
no
problem
can
be
solved
with
the
same
level
of
Consciousness
that
created
it.
If
you
go
into
a
city
government,
of
course
you
can
extract
and
request
data
as
we
have
done
in
the
past.
But
if
you
make
recommendations
it
should
be
predicated
upon
something
other
than
hunches
intuition
and
conversation.
I
So
the
request.
E
So
we
have
a
motion
with
the
amendment
and
on
the
second,
so
all
those
in
favor
do
we
want
to
do
a
roll
calling
messages
just
for
one
minute,
I'm.
P
Curious
about
what
what
Dee
was
saying,
the
two
types
of
audit
and
whether
or
not
I
would
take
a
deeper
dive
into
what
she's
saying
before
we
vote
before.
We
move
forward
and
and
take
a
look
at
how
we
will
derive
the
data
because
it
does
have
the
feeling
of
if
we
get
it
from
the
city.
It's
a
classic
case
of
a
fox
guarding
the
hen
house,
and
so
so
how?
I
Other
words,
if
you
trust
in
the
public
information
processing
them
for
your
request
in
and
of
itself,
I
would
think
that
a
subcontractor
or
the
contractor
could
subcontract
it
out
to
get
individual
data,
analysts,
mathematicians
and
other
folk
in
there
to
extract
this
data.
The
template
has
already.
Basically
you
have
to
trust
the
public
information.
That's
coming
out
of
employer
request.
It
is
public
information,
they
do
have
it
whether
or
not
they've
gleaned
it
or
put
it
in
a
manageable
form
for
us
to
understand.
I
We
know
from
requesting
information
from
the
city
that
they
are
Duty
Bound
by
open
meetings,
laws
and
information
laws,
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
to
provide
this
information,
as
truthfully
as
it
can
be.
My
question
is:
is
that
like,
for
instance,
what
the
city
Outreach
coordinator
put
in
her
note
to
us
about
data,
they
pretty
much
say
We'll
provide
qualitative
data,
not
quantitative
data.
You
have
to
understand
the
difference.
I
don't
know
if
the
attorney
is
willing
to
speak
to
this
either
one
of
them.
A
I
You
have
to
be
able
to
prove
disparity,
I
guess,
I'm,
just
concerned.
If
you
make
recommendations
without
data,
we're
going
to
have
just
a
lot
of
empty
conversation,
so
I
mean
it's
up
to
y'all.
What
y'all
want
to
do,
but
I'm
just
not
used
to
making
decisions
without
dating
anyway,
and
if
you
make
recommendations,
how
are
these
going
to
be
applicable?
We
already
know
that
we
do
have
disparity
in
certain
areas.
There
are
statutes
both
federal
and
state.
E
E
Any
more
comments,
all
right:
we
have
emotion
and
a
rhythm
Amendment
and
a
segment
foreign.
A
M
E
Yeah
I
was
about
to
read
it
out
with
the
amendment,
so
they
amended
it
up
here.
Dr
Mullins
made
up
amendment
to
his
own.
J
O
Going
to
respond
to
that,
if
you
have
any
other
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
those
as
well.
So
all
public
governments-
and
that
includes
Buncombe
County,
as
well
as
the
city
of
Asheville,
are
governed
by
state
statutes,
would
tell
us
how
we
have
to
go
about
what
we
call
procurement.
That's
any
time
we
have
a
public
contract,
whether
it's
the
person
catering
these
things
or
someone
who's
performing
an
audit.
There
are
big
limitations
on
us
about
utilizing
race
as
one
of
the
factors
in
determining
who
we're
allowed
to
contract
with.
O
This
is
one
area
where
we
have
a
little
more
restriction,
but
we
have
a
process
by
which
we
require,
through
our
equity
and
inclusion,
Department,
minority
and
women
contractors
to
be
sought
out
as
part
of
that
process.
So
we
have
an
active
process
to
try
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
those
potential
players
in
inside
the
around
possibilities.
We
can't
guarantee
at
the
end
of
the
day
in
particular,
either
women
or
minority
owned
business
has
gone
to
receive
that
contract
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
governed
by
what
the
state
tells
us.
O
G
D
D
And
then
the
paragraph
above.
D
Here
it's
the
second
bold-faced
paragraph
It's
in
bold
print
and
audit
would
allow
for
acceptance
of
guarantees.
The
sensation
has
actually
occurred.
Verification
of
facts
and
data
that
are
publicly
disclosing
part
of
such
an
audit.
These
facts
and
data
would
be
collected
by
a
body
determined
by
I
granted
last
year.
I
O
O
D
A
stereo
mirror
those
two
things,
one
of
the
date
to
be
provided
by
those
respective
and
then
above
the
audience.
It
will
include
a
phrase
that
says
that
the
facts
of
verification
effects,
slash
data
that
are
publicly
disposed
to
be
part
of
an
audit
process.
K
B
Well,
I'm,
not
I,
don't
want
a
specific
date.
I
want
to
say,
I
want
to
say
something
to
an
an
appropriate
time
or
something
because
if
you
put
a
real
date
on
something.
B
K
Is
I
can't
say,
jump
out
when
you
expect
to
get
there
because
I
expect
to
land
at
a
certain
point?
They
told
Dr
King
and
all
the
followers
during
that
time
frame
with
all
deliberate
speed.
It
is
still
delivered
and
it
hasn't
happened.
So
tell
me
when
it's
supposed
to
happen
and
then
we
can
pivot.
From
that
point,
that's.
P
About
if
we
were
to
say
if
we
were
to
say
well-
and
this
might
be
being
a
bit
ambitious
but
let's
say.
K
P
K
P
A
A
E
I
This
is
a
recommendation.
I
mean
I
mean
for
this
referee
yeah
for
immediate
action.
Yeah
I
think
that
it's
way
we
just
get
way
out
of
too
serious.
For
to
me,
that's
just
to
me
for
what
we
keep
asking
questions.
We
keep
answering.
A
A
O
Very
difficult
for
me
to
assign
a
date,
but
what
is
often
done
is
we
ask
as
part
of
that
procurement
process,
for
that
outside
auditor
to
tell
us
how
long
it
will
take
so
that
that
is
not
dictated
by
the
city
or
the
county,
but
by
the
auditing
process,
and
then
we
can
report
that
back
to
this
group
and
as
well
as
including
it
on
future
agendas
for
regular
updates,
as
information
is
available.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
you
perhaps
you
you.
O
A
H
E
K
E
E
But
so
the
recommendation
has
been
approved
and
it
will,
with
the
Amendments,
will
be
going
to
City
and
County
Commission
city,
council
and
County
commissions.
Thank
you
all
for
that.
You've
had
a
nice
Year.
Yes,.
E
E
D
Okay:
two
new
Commissioners
Eric
Robinson
tomorrow
building,
please
you're,
welcome
and
I
I
I'm
thankful
for
your
support.
D
We
are
looking
at
promotion
at
the
Ascension
Dwayne
Richardson
yeah
from
alternate
to
School
commission
member.
Thank
you.
D
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
K
G
All
right,
so,
let's
get
started.
We
are
under
new
business.
Item
B
I'm,
going
to
keep
this
brief
so
that
we
can
move
on
to
our.
G
And
data
which
I
know
that
you're
interested
in
hearing
about
but
I
did
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
IFA
meeting
schedules.
2023
schedules
have
been
provided
to
you
all
it's
in
your
packet.
At
the
end,
it
is
on
a
horizontal
page,
so
you
can
take
a
look
at
the
IFA
meeting
schedule.
They
are
all
laid
out.
They're
also
going
to
be
added
to
the
project
website.
G
I
do
want
to
mention
those
locations.
Aren't
one
mayor
dates
times.
Locations
are
all
available,
so
I
wanted
to
just
share
that
publicly
with
you
all
in
terms
of
the
structure.
There's
going
to
be
some
more
information,
that's
going
to
be
shared
in
January,
not
in
January,
but
leading
up
to
our
next
meeting
in
January
new
information.
That's
going
to
be
shared
about
our
project
timeline.
G
It
was
briefly
mentioned
at
our
November
meeting
that
our
transition
period,
because
we
have
transitioned
project
managers.
We
are
also
looking
at
making
some
updates
to
our
project
recommendation
process
and
timeline
as
well,
and
so
because
we've
just
been
moving
things
around.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
a
subtle
place
before
we
introduce
any
new
information
and
that's
what
I
wanted
to
do
for
you
all
so.
G
Today,
but
you
will
have
it
so
that
you
can
have
those
discussions
in
your
ifas
that
are
meeting
in
December
so
that
you
can
meet
and
speak
about
that
and
as
far
as
the
project
timeline,
what
you're
going
to
see
is
a
difference
in
how
the
recommendations
are
submitted
and
also
the
information
being
provided
in
your
ifas
like,
for
example,
how
to
connect
certain
recommendations
and
ideas
and
flesh
out
project
ideas,
guiding
questions
really
going
off
with
the
work
that
you're
already
doing
in
your
ifas
and
how
to
connect
the
data
that
we're
getting
from
the
city
and
county
back
to
those
recommendation
ideas.
G
So
we're
going
to
be
providing
more
structure,
more
guidance
that
your
facilitators
are
going
to
present
to
you
and
that
information
is
going
to
be
shared
with
you
directly
after
this
meeting.
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
say
talking
about
the
structure
structure
is
the
same
you'll
meet
as
a
group
in
your
groups.
Schedules
are
available
and
that's
all
I
have
and
we'll
move
on
to
our
community
communication
and
engagement
tools.
Discussion,
that's
going
to
be
presented
to
you
all
by
the
city
of
Asheville
and
Buckland
County
communication
and
public
engagement
teams.
G
A
G
S
But
we
just
wanted
to
present
this
proposal
that
we
have
to
kind
of.
How
do
we
tell
the
story?
How
do
we
capture
what
you're
doing?
This
is
a
historic
moment
here
for
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County,
and
also
just
that
unique
aspect
of
having
kids
involved
in
this
process
to
learn
and
share
on
this
experience,
and
so
Mr
Coleman.
T
So,
as
Leonard
said,
my
name
is
Seiko
Coleman
and
I'm,
the
director
of
Asheville
writers
in
the
schools
and
Community.
We
are
a
North
Carolina
non-profit
that
has
been
around
since
2011..
Some
of
you
may
know
me:
I've
worked
with
some
of
y'all
in
the
community.
Some
of
you
may
know
one
of
our
co-founders
Tamiko
Ambrose.
T
We
have
some
of
you
may
know
some
of
the
programs
that
we've
operated,
including
word
on
the
street,
which
has
been
around
the
community
since
2016,
as
well
as
family
voices,
which
was
recently
featured
on
Blue,
Ridge,
Public,
Radio
and
storycraft,
and
other
projects
that
we're
we're
doing
before.
I
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we
got
into
this
space.
I
just
want
to
share
a
little
anecdote
about
our
young
people.
Several
years
ago,
I
was
across
the
street.
T
Many
of
y'all
were
in
the
room
as
well
when
the
Commissioners
were
deciding
to
vote
on
whether
or
not
they
were
going
to
accept
the
Isaac
Coleman
initiative,
and
so
there
was
public
comment,
and
some
of
you
might
remember
that
there
was
a
little
video
that
was
shown
by
some
young
people
and
they
interviewed
some
folks,
I
think
Dwayne
was
interviewed
in
there
and
a
few
other
folks
were
interviewed
in
the
video
just
to
kind
of
give
a
perspective
from
The
Young
Person's
perspective
of
what
it's
like
to
live
in
Asheville
and
why
an
initiative
like
the
Isaac
Coleman
initiative,
was
such
a
significant
need
for
our
community.
T
At
that
time,
one
of
the
young
men
who
made
the
was
responsible
for
making
the
film
after
it
had
been
screened
to
the
Commissioners.
He
essentially
said
now.
Y'all
know
you
I
just
need
to
stop
playing
around
and
give
us
this
money
with
all
the
money
you
get
from
the
hotels
that
you're
putting
up
every
other
week
out
of
the
miles
of
babes
right.
T
Starting
in
2016,
we
created
a
space
for
young
people
to
come
together
and
do
these
kinds
of
things,
and
that
was
what
word
on
the
street
led
to
becoming
now
we're
in
a
position
through
working
with
a
cape
team
to
create
a
new
team
of
young
people
that
will
be
working
to
document
the
work
that
y'all
are
doing
over
the
next
couple
of
years
and
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
I'd
like
to
invite
Elizabeth
Garland
who
works
with
us
as
our
as
our
coordinator
of
artist,
residency
programs
and
we'll
also
be
project
managing
this
piece
of
a
youth
documentary
team
to
celebrate
and
highlight.
C
So
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here.
I've
worked
with
youth
for
quite
some
time,
and
one
thing
that
I
really
value
is
that
one
young
person
said
to
me
at
one
point
said
you
know:
you're,
like
a
teenage
translator
and
I
really
didn't
understand
what
that
meant,
but
it
was
like
you
know,
taking
time
listening,
slowing
down,
creating
space
to
hear
our
young
people
share.
What
they
want
to
see
in
their
community
and
I
know
that
from
just
some
of
the
things
that
you
all
have
covered.
C
Youth
voices
are
extremely
important
to
be
part
of
this
process,
so
with
the
documentation
team
I
will
be
leading
not
leading
but
really
working
with
young
people
who
are
interested
in
journalism,
social
impact,
inclusion,
their
community,
so
a
wide
range
of
interest
and
also
content
creation.
So
what
we
will
be
doing
is
we
will
have
an
orientation
process
where
we
will
explain
what
they
will
be
doing
and
Gathering
ideas,
and
then
we
will
also
be
looking
at
really
interviewing
and
and
documenting
some
of
the
stories
that
are
happening
with
this
commission.
C
So
we
are
really
excited
again
I'm
working
with
not
leading
these
young
people,
so
we
will
definitely
have
more
information
and
be
reaching
out
to
you,
because
we
want
to
know
why
you're
here,
why
you're
in
these
spaces
and
to
have
a
dialogue
where
it's
back
and
forth?
It's
not
just
one-sided,
so
you
can
hear
from
the
young
people
as
well.
So
that's
what
I'm
doing
we
will
be
working
with
some
amazing
videographers
to
help
really
coexist
with
our
young
people
and
capture
what
they're
looking
to
do.
S
All
right
thank
y'all.
Both
I'll
now
pass
it
off
to
Lillian
and
I
believe
Darwin
hitch,
their
executive
director
Lillian
is
with
Buncombe
County's
communication
and
public
engagement,
as
well
as
our
hitches,
with
the
city
of
Asheville,
and
so
as
they
mentioned,
you
have
a
memo
in
your
packet
which
the
outlines
come
around
Community
engagement
as
well
as
Communications,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
they
get
an
answer.
R
I
just
want
to
clarify
I'm
sorry
that
you
don't
have
their
proposal
in
advance,
but
it
is
not
an
item
that
we
need
y'all
to
vote
on.
It's
currently
in
progress
in
the
contract
is
underway
within
Buncombe
County
and
so
we'll
be
working
with
them.
R
So
it's
not
an
item
that
you
need
to
take
any
action
on,
but
we'll
simply
move
forward
with,
on
our
end,
to
help
facilitate
for
the
commission,
we
thought
perhaps,
as
a
result
of
the
discussion
around
the
communications
work,
that
this
group
is
going
to
be
doing,
that
there
might
be
some
follow-up
questions
around
Outreach
and
engagement,
because
those
are
kind
of
natural
progressions.
M
Yep
so
who
who's
debrief
prior
to
the
submission,
as
you
put
out
the
information
so
it
like?
Is
there
any
information
that
that
comes
to
the
commission
saying.
C
R
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
talked
about
in
in
improving
the
Synergy
between
the
organizations
is
in
that
meeting
with
the
chair
and
vice
chair
finding
out
what
that
message
is
that
they
really
want
to
make
sure
that
the
community
takes
away
from
these
meetings
each
individual
meeting.
The
message
may
change
so
that
our
respective
teams
can
help
amplify
that
message.
For
the
commission.
M
R
T
So
what
we're
doing
and
what
Liz
will
be
supporting
is
a
parallel
process
which
is
Observatory
and
documentation
only
it
will
take
form
of
you
know
little
podcasts
or
many
videos
that
might
appear
online
in
a
virtual
space
for
folks
to
access
and
be
updated
sort
of
a
way
for
us
to
tell
our
story
and
not
allow
others
to
tell
the
story
for
us.
T
So,
as
Liz
mentioned,
folks
will
be
in
contact
with
y'all
to
meet
either
through
the
IFA
groups,
or
maybe
one-on-one
or
in
small
groups,
to
kind
of
talk
about
what
are
the
stories
underneath
each
of
the
meetings?
What
are
the
stories
in
the
communities?
What's
the
underlying
pieces
here
and
that
will
be
in
addition
to
what
the
city
and
the
county
are
doing
around
messaging
from
these
specific
meetings
does.
R
S
And
so,
with
the
faith
leaders
group
I've
been
with
Buncombe
County
for
about
two
years
now,
and
so
we
have
a
list
of
emails
and
a
list,
sir,
that
we
reach
out
to,
on
a
monthly
basis,
just
to
keep
them
updated
on
current
initiatives
and
programs.
That's
happening
from
with
Buncombe
County,
and
so
as
information
come
out
monthly.
We
kind
of
keep
them
updated
since
there's
a
current
initiative
around
reparation.
I
I
worked
for
80
African-American
churches
from
Hayesville
down
to
Charlotte,
and
especially
in
Center
here
in
Asheville,
so
it
would
be
helpful
if
we,
you
know
be
able
to
because
they
coordinate
they
have
a
collaboration
called
Eagles
Wings
Community
Development
Corporation.
So
you
cannot
development
corporations
as
well.
So
we
have
representatives
from
most
of
the
black
churches
in
up
well
just
about
all
of
them
in
Asheville
and
Western
North,
Carolina
I.
S
Can
reach
out
to
you
to
see
who
you
have
on
your
list
and
kind
of
cross-reference
it
with
mines
to
see
many
other
churches
around
here?
I
do
have
on
my
list
those
pastors
as
well,
so
they.
Q
Real
quick
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
got
a
good
understanding
of
the
breadth
of
resources
that
you
have
here.
So,
in
addition
to
reporting
on
what's
happening
within
the
commission,
when
you
all
get
to
the
point
where
you're
ready
to
engage
with
the
community,
those
resources
that
both
the
city
and
county
have
to
include
the
the
ones
that
you
just
mentioned,
and
the
ones
that
are
listed
there
in
the
memo
those
are
available
to
you.
Q
So
we
just
wanted
you
to
have
those,
as
you
all,
are
working
towards
a
place
where
you
might
be
engaging
with
the
community.
You
might
want
to
invite
the
community
in
to
give
their
input
on
where
you
all
are.
All
of
those
resources
are
available
to
you
all
and
you
all
will
lead
with
what
that
message
is
that's
going
out
or
what
that
ask
is
that's
going
out
to
those
groups,
so
it's
both
kind
of
in
the
storytelling
realm
and
then,
as
we
get
into
engagement.
E
So
like
when
we
have
these
meetings,
because
this
country
and
then
all
of
the
things
is
public
and
y'all,
have
access
to
that
as
well.
Is
this
being
promoted
to
the
community
to
this
group
already
I
just
I'm.
Q
So
I
I
would
say
we
can
always
add
to
the
list.
I
think
our
list
right
now
is
about
430
people
who
have
subscribed
as
being
interested
to
reparations
or
who
have
self-identified
as
bipot.
We've
got
a
number
of
lists,
contact
lists
that
we
invite
the
public
and
to
identify
themselves
as
being
interested
in
that
area.
So
so
folks
that
have
subscribed
to
the
reparations
commission,
folks
that
have
self-identified
as
bipoc
or
there's
a
number
of
other
youth
I
think
we
I
know
we're
also
sending
updates
about
reparation
to
youth.
R
R
Now
we're
sharing
the
information
about
the
work
of
the
commission
and
what
decisions
are
made.
Certainly,
the
very
first
meeting
that
you
had
when
you
made
that
decision.
We
were
sharing
that
out
working
with
our
local
media
Partners,
trying
to
make
sure
that
whether
the
questions
were
coming
through
the
faith
community
Through,
traditional
media
outlets,
New,
Media
Outlets,
like
social
media.
We
were
sharing
the
information,
that's
coming
from
the
body
of
work
that
this
commission
is
producing.
Q
It's
really
at
this
at
this
in
time.
It's
very
it's
very
basic
actions
that
were
taken
based
on
what
the
agenda
is
is
what
we're
pushing
out.
So
it's
just
a
record
of
the
actions
that
were
taken
for
anybody
that
wants
to
follow
along
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
intention
put
behind
having
the
reparations
commission
lead
in
that
area,
so
so
back
to
making
sure
that
there's
vetting
of
what
the
perception
is.
That's
a
really
important
piece
of
that.
So
it's
really
at
this
point
in
time.
Q
R
What
we're
doing
is
we're
as
procedural.
We
thought
we
thought
it
was
really
imperative
to
bring
a
group
to
organically
and
holistically
tell
the
story
of
reparations
a
national
and
Buncombe
County
in
a
way
that
we
simply
can't,
because
we
are
the
government
agencies
associated
with
it.
There's
more
latitude,
more
creativity,
more
authenticity
working
with
another
group
to
do
that
for
us.
E
G
Const
to
you
know
this
process
we
need,
we
need
an
update
on
data.
You
all
have
been
you
know
working
towards
this,
so
we
wanted
to
provide
you
an
update,
we're
going
to
keep
this
pretty
brief
and
high
level,
but
just
know
that
we
are
working
on
it,
we're
working
with
both
the
city
and
the
county
to
provide
updates.
There
is
a
document
that
accompanies
this
item
also
in
the
agenda
and
we
actually
have
Rafael
from
Buncombe
County
he'll
introduce
himself
just
to
walk
us
through
this
process
as
well.
U
Good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
having
me
excited
to
be
here
at
my
first
reparations
commission
I'm,
the
director
of
strategy
Innovation
for
Buncombe
County,
so
among
many
other
things,
I
am
charged
with
all
data
analytics
for
the
county.
My
counterpart
at
the
city
is
a
gentleman
named
Eric
Jackson,
who
is
not
here
today,
but
knows
I'm
here,
and
we've
talked
a
lot
about
this.
U
So
I
want
to
give
you
kind
of
what
we've
been
doing
since
probably
September's
working
with
detect
equities
project
managers
to
develop
a
workflow
for
how
data
can
get
processed
from
when
you
all
during
your
IFA
meetings,
decide
that
there's
a
piece
of
data
or
a
data
source
of
information
that
you
want
to
how
we
work
on
that.
So
the
process
is
that
IFA
lead
the
project
manager
from
the
group
takes
that
looks
through
it
understands
what's
going
on,
and
then
they
submitted
through
a
form
to
the
city
and
county
staff.
U
At
that
point,
what
we
do
is
we
try
to
assess
is
the
dad
of
peace.
Is
it
something
that
we
actually
are
able
to
collect?
Is
it
a
city
piece
of
data
accounting,
piece
of
data,
school's
piece
of
data
we
assign
it
out,
and
then
we
work
with
the
project
manager,
the
main
project
manager
now
Christine,
who
are
really
excited
to
have
on
board?
We've
been
working
with
her
for
what
a
month
now
and
it's
been
a
really
great
relationship.
We're
really
excited
to
have
her
on
board
in
the
energy
that
she
brings.
U
We
try
to
work
to
collect
it
and
then
we'll
come
back
and
work
with
her
to
get
information
back
out.
That's
how
it
does
for
like
data
pieces.
Things
are
like
a
number
and
a
piece
of
data.
Some
of
the
requests
y'all
have
had
have
been
related
to
what
are
slave
codes
that
are
related
to
education.
Things
like
that
which
is
not
really
a
piece
of
quantitative
numeric
data.
It's
a
research
piece.
So
what
we're
doing
is
we're
working
with
city
and
county
staff
to
try
to
identify
who
is
the
right?
U
Subject
matter
expert
to
do
that
research
my
team
is
a
bunch
of
data
analysts.
The
cities
team
related
to
this
is
a
bunch
of
data
analysts,
so
we're
trying
to
find
subject
matter
experts
to
work
that
the
city
and
the
county
receive
a
first
batch
of
data
requests
on
November
5th.
Thus
far,
we
have
received
69
individual
data
requests
on
the
county
side,
I'm
happy
to
say
that
every
single
data
request
has
been
assigned
to
a
team.
Member
and
I
have
staff
working
on
each
single
one
of
them.
U
Additionally,
we
have
met
with
both
Asheville
City
schools
and
Buncombe
County
schools
and
their
data
leads
and
we're
actually
working
to
see
what
we
were
able
to
generate
on
their
side.
Our
goal
is
to
come
back
in
January
with
Christine
and
be
able
to
share
kind
of
a
timetable
of
here's
when
all
these
data
points
will
have
here's.
The
format
we'll
have
I
also
want
to
say
that
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
found
in
this
work
in
similar
work
is
a
lot
of
time.
U
Good
data
only
goes
back
so
far.
A
lot
of
data
requests
stay
back
to
1900
into
1950.
we're
trying
to
tell
a
story
correct.
Unfortunately,
the
data,
a
lot
of
times
doesn't
go
as
far
back
as
we
would
like.
So
we
are
actually
trying
to
understand
how
far
we
can
go
back
and
what
we
can
collect.
We're
also
actively
working
with
our
project
managers
and
our
community
groups
understand.
Are
there
non-profits
in
the
community,
have
done
this
research
before
that
we
can
utilize
and
leverage
them
as
well.
U
U
The
best
way
to
approach
is
to
go
through
the
project
managers,
so
contact
Christine
and
then
still
reach
out.
U
The
instructions
I
have
received
from
city
and
county
leadership
is
to
have
data
requests,
go
through,
Christine,
Christine
filters
them
and
then
I
respond
to
what
she
needs.
We'll.
G
G
Even
though
the
data
requests
were
entered
officially
in
November,
they
were
requested
from
the
groups
a
lot
earlier
than
that
and
they
and
they
do
realize
that
it's
just
a
matter
of
getting
them
in
and
assigning
them
all
and
getting
them
assigned
and
bringing
attention
to
them
so
we're
working
on
them
as
fast
as
we
can.
So
we
can
apply
them
back
to
the
recommendations.
I
The
I'm
just
thank
you,
Raphael,
one
of
the
things
that
we
asked
for,
and
we
found
out
through
talking
to
your
purchasing
director
two-
is
that
you
probably
don't
have
a
database
set
up
to
tell
the
story.
If
you
will
of
procurement
and
Contracting
opportunities
that
have
been
afforded
to
African-American
businesses,
will
that
be
a
process
or
a
template
set
up
to
where
we
don't
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel
anymore
in
Bunker
County
much
like
Asheville
cities
is
it's
a
template
worth
probably
replicating
unless
y'all
just
want
to.
I
You
know,
start
something
different,
all
together
different.
Basically,
it's
the
different
areas
of
procurement
and
Contracting
by
racial
groups
that
the
SBA
recognizes
and
ethnic
groups,
and
also
Geographic,
where
these
groups
come
from
a
lot
of
times.
We'll
look
at
the
data
that
we
have
happened
to
capture
in
the
last
four
or
five
years.
Most
of
the
procurements
have
occurred
outside
of
Asheville
in
the
Charlotte
area.
So
are
y'all.
What
are
you?
U
I
would
so
I'm
not
there's
69
data
requests
ranging
from
births
to
procurement
to
very
specific
School
data
I'm,
not
the
data
analyst,
so
I
can't
I
can't
give
you
a
specific
answer
on
any
particular
one.
I
will
follow
up
with
the
data
T,
but
I
will
follow
up
with
the
procurement
team
at
the
county
to
understand
our
current
data
limitations
and
our
plans
and
I'll
get
that
information
to
Christine.
That's
how
I'm
going
to
get
you
the
most
accurate
information.
F
U
We
work
very
actively
with
Dogwood,
we
get
information
from
Dogwood
and
we
provide
information
in
Dogwood,
so
we
are
working
with
them
and
one
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
do
is
understand
what
do
we
have
internally
and
what
do
organizations
like
dogwood
and
others
have
so
that's
part
of
it
is
we're
trying
to
identify
partners,
for
example,
the
criminal
justice
that
has
been
requested.
We
don't
own
any
of
that
data,
but
we
do
know
who
in
the
community
does
and
we're
reaching
out
to
them
and
trying
to
receive
that
information
from
them.
P
P
in
personal
research.
I'm
aware
that
the
the
first
two
recorded
slaves
that
were
so,
we
don't
have
you
want
to
phrase
that
was
the
gentleman
named
Jim
and
a
lady
named
Sue
and
and
I'm
just
curious.
Does
your
research
span
Beyond
Asheville,
as
it
was
incorporated
into
a
town
and
into
Morristown
predecessor
to
Asheville.
P
U
May
have
misspoken
what
I
meant
going
back
to
1900
1950
was
what
I
was
referring
to
was
not
specifically
slave
data,
but,
for
example,
one
of
data
requests
came
on
health
side
was
to
look
at
disparities
by
race
and
maternal
outcomes
from
delivery
going
back
to
1900,
and
what
I
was
the
point.
I
was
trying
to
make
and
I
apologize
if
I
did
not
make
it
well.
Was
that
a
lot
of
times
that
data
of
the
maternal
Health
impacts
in
the
birth
records
and
the
information
from
a
mission
health,
for
example?
U
We
don't
have
access
to
or
it
doesn't
exist
back
to
1900.
So
a
lot
of
times.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
say.
The
commission's
requested
data
going
back
to
1950
data
going
back
to
1900
part
of
our
world
is
trying
to
understand
how
far
back
can
we
go
and
provide
you
with
accurate
data,
the
information
about
slave
codes
and
slave
information?
That's
something
we
are
starting
on
and
trying
to
work
with
the
project
managers
to
better
understand
how
to
get
that
data,
but
I,
don't
think.
We've
quite
sunk
our
teeth
into
that.
E
And
so
I
would
like
to
start
with
The
Economic
Development
Group.
E
That
we
would
consider
for
you,
it's
not
provoke
this
session.
It
will
be
provoked
next
session,
and
so,
if
y'all
have
questions
or
want
to
know
more
about
the
recommendations
that's
been
presented.
Please
try
to
reach
out
to
the
members
of
that
Focus
area
group
and
please
I'm
attend
a
focus
area.
Group
meetings
and
I
have
the
time
state
so
Economic,
Development,
I,
think
Dwayne
Barton
and
the
rest
of
the
Economic
Development
Group
will
be
starting
a
session.
I
Just
briefly,
this
is
I
just
want
to
say
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
try
to
do
to
try
to
help
existing
Community
plans
out.
You
don't
need
to
start
doing
something
new
when
these
folks
have
been
at
this
for
a
long
time
from
Burton
Street
to
Shiloh
to
East
End.
I
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
noted
was
that
people
learn
about
businesses
in
their
own
communities.
This
is
where
we
pick
knowledge
of
this
up.
One
of
the
things
that
predicated
this
was
we
sent
some
information
about
black
business
development
and
formation
rates,
for
instance,
in
fiscal
year
2018
we
talk
about
African-American
businesses.
They
did
three
quarters
of
one
percent
of
all
procurement
and
contracted
with
the
city
of
Asheville,
and
that's
been
money
that
was
spent
was
95
million
dollars.
We
did
three
quarters
of
one
percent
or
206
thousand
dollars
a
little
expensive
change.
A
I
It
was
one
third
of
one
percent,
just
not
a
whole
lot,
and
that
spin
was
around
92
93
93
million
dollars,
2015
and
16.
It
was
three
quarters
of
one
percent.
It's
never
been
one
percent
in
the
most
recent
history
and
this.
L
I
The
idea
of
a
business
incubator,
startup
businesses
and
scaling
those
businesses
up
based
on
the
data-
and
this
is
data
that
is
on
the
city's
letterhead-
that
we
asked
for
and
got
thanks
to
the
city
manager
Campbell,
that's
in
Brenda
Mills
and
some
other
folks
with
the
city
of
Asheville.
So
we
know
that
there
is
a
disparity
and
it
proves
it
so
with
that
we
want
to
support
business
incubators
for
all
of
our
steel
intact.
Black
neighborhoods
Dwayne
is
going
to
give
you
all
the
template
for
how
to
start
one.
I
What
we'd
like
to
see
is
Dwayne,
get
funded
and
start
a
due
diligence
process,
we'll
work
with
him
on
refinement
of
everything
from
financials
to
space
to
whatever,
and
then
that
template
be
used
in
all
the
other
neighborhoods
like
East
End,
like
Shiloh,
like
South
Side,
when
the
time
comes
so
I
was
seized
and
I
just
want
to.
Thank
everybody.
I
want
to
know
everybody
on
the
economic
development
work
group.
Can
you
please
raise
your
hands,
so
they
can
see
everybody,
that's
involved
and
put
this
work
in
so.
T
V
Right
well,
what
thank
you
D
for
that?
You
know
she
said
mostly
everything
I
was
going
to
say
to
y'all,
but
well.
What
I
do
want
to
say
is
that
we
have
a
lot
going
for
us
as
a
community
prior
to
the
reparations
we
have
a
number
of
policies,
Equity
inclusion
policies
on
the
books
that
could
use
as
a
guide
to
launch
this
Commission.
V
We
also
have
a
lot
of
Economic
Development
happening
in
and
around
historically
African-American
neighborhoods.
One
example
for
is
this
I-26
project:
that's
a
billion
dollar
Highway
project!
That's
going
to
come
through
our
community,
in
fact,
Hillcrest
and
Burton,
Street
and
others.
54
million
dollars
of
that
project
has
to
go
to
Black
contractors.
V
Let's
say
the
business
incubator,
for
example,
on
the
spot
we
want
to
do
over
there
on
Burton
Street,
that's
indirectly
response
to
this
highway
expansion.
That's
about
to
run
through
it.
We
want
to
have
a
a
commercial
kitchen,
hot
tub,
sauna,
it's
a
healing!
It's
a
health
and
business
incubator.
We
want
to
have
a
youth,
LED,
Credit
Union.
V
How
amazing
would
that
be?
So
we
want
to
propose
this
business
incubator
and
then
we
want
the
other
focus
groups
to
come
in
and
say:
okay,
we,
the
education.
How
will
we
play
What
role
we
play
in
the
business
incubator
and
the
criminal
justice?
What
role
will
be
playing
in
the
business
incubator
for
help?
V
How
do
we,
and
then
we
Forge
this
across
the
board
relationship
where
we're
interlocking
and
connecting
our
efforts
under
one
umbrella,
and
then
that
is
the
method
that
what
we
create
into
an
emphasis
of
committee
and
how
we
connect
to
each
other
right
now,
it's
like
the
wild
wild
west
of
help.
It's
like
all
these
activities
happening
around
reparations
and
helping
black
folks
ain't,
nobody
being
held
accountable
or
they
Hustle.
We
are
the
reparations
commission.
V
We
have
to
set
that
standard
and
the
status
should
come
from
us
from
the
222
members
who
has
chosen
here
we
supposed
to
be
connecting
with
each
other
is
overdue,
and
we
supposed
to
be
connecting
these
opportunities
and
our
skill
set,
and
then
we
set
we
we
set.
We
create
the
pipeline
of
support
and
the
platform
of
practice,
and
we
can
reach
this
rep
reparations
in
the
sky.
Now,
if.
V
To
see
any
of
these
initiatives
and
projects
I
brought
them
here
tonight,
I
I'll,
adjust
them
off
and
I
have
them.
We
don't
have
to
start
new
Happy
from
the
community
Grassroots
initiative
policies
and
economic
opportunities
to
to
make
the
hustle
happy
for
real
I'm
gonna.
Stop
there
and
I
had
cue
cards.
P
There
are
groups
that
are
that
are
kind
of
sprouting
up
around
the
reparations
commission
that
are
that
are
kind
of
creating
their
own
agendas
and
and-
and
we
need
to
ask
the
commission
kind
of
be
a
regulatory
body
if
you
will
to
make
sure
that
those
other
groups
that
are
sprouting
up
are
somehow
accountable
back
to
the
to
the
to
the
body.
That's
been
given
the
authority
to
pursue
it,
and
that
is
the
reparations
commission.
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
we
do
that
and
Mr
Barton
has
some
ideas
about
that.
P
But
I
know
that's
something
that
he
wanted
to
include
and-
and
that
is
just
just
as
a
commission
us
staying
aware
and
involved
with
the
the
the
other
movements
that
are
coming
and
making
sure
that
we
can't
we
can't
hamstring
them,
but
at
the
same
time
making
sure
that
they're
kind
of
working
through
us
to
accomplish
their
goals
and
that
we're
not
all
desperate
out
here
trying
towards
the
same
thing
where
we
would
have
greater
strength
as
a
collective
father
and
something
he
mentioned.
G
E
The
decision
will
come
next
week,
so
we
do
need
to
clarify
the
recommendation
of
the
record.
That's
what
you're
asking
okay
so
with
the
Economic
Development
Group
like
to
clarify
the
recommendation,
so
that
we
can
that
they
can
consider
so
which
I
will
be
getting.
E
Is
the
same
document
similar
to
what
y'all
just
do
with
Dr
Mullins
presentation
that
will
be
coming
out
to
the
full
commission
so
that
y'all
have
time
to
read
it,
and
you
know
what
I
mean
and
be
prepared
to,
but
y'all
also
had
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
engage
with
that
group.
G
J
G
Your
IFA
groups
to
develop
those
recommendations
further
so
that
you
can
connect
it
to
the
data.
You
can
flush,
it
out,
get
feedback
from
legal.
So
we
can
talk
about
the
you
know:
barriers,
challenges,
feasibility,
things
like
that
nature.
All
of
that
is
going
to
be
put
into
a
structure
for
the
ifas
to
move
forward
and.
V
I,
don't
want
to
say
that
I
put
it
out
there,
the
business
incubator
we're
the
economic
development.
How
does
Health
come
in
and
plug
into
that?
How
does
education
come
in
and
plug
into
that?
We
need
to
start
hammering
that
out
and
connecting
the
dots
on
what
we
supposed
to
be
doing.
We
don't
have
to
wait.
We
have
all
the
resources
are
here.
Is
us
the
22
member
board,
it's
time
for
us
to
make
the
move
yeah.
E
So
the
recommendation
is
for
us
to
start
fleshing
out
a
business
incubator
Project
based
on
the
different
communities,
so
I
know
for
sure.
Shiloh
has
a
community
plan
right.
E
Like
y'all's
community
plan
for
Charlotte
Area
yeah,
they
have
been
20
25,
so
everybody
had
every
Community.
Every
respective
black
community
has
a
plan
for
what
they
want
to
see
in
a
community
to
support
the
economic
growth
of
the
community
like
we
need
to
really
start
like
we
wanted
to
do
work.
You
know
what
I
mean
we
really
wanted
to
see
action.
This
is
a
way
for
us
to
really
start
pulling
those
things
out
and
looking
at
those
things
and
really
seeing
how
we
can
invest
in
things
that
I
already
I've
already
done.
E
E
So
how
do
we
invest
in
that
and
I
think
I
think
the
Economic
Development
Group
really
is
hitting
it
on
the
head
like
we
need
to
really
start
looking
at
Economic
Development
from
the
community
standpoint,
because
the
community
created
those
not
a
city,
not
no
one,
but
the
community.
I
It's
a
total
residential
area,
so
we
would
not
want
to
bring
businesses
into
our
community.
These
are
homeowners
who
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
Apartments,
we
have
homes,
and
so
the
people
that
are
there
we're
in
between
and
a
Severe
Road
and
on
the
other
side
of
Sweden
Creek
Road.
So
those
are
the
business
area,
but
to
come
inside
of
Shiloh
with.
That
was
what
our
2025
plan
specifically
says:
do
not
want.
I
We
want
to
keep
it
a
residential
area
and
keep
it
intact,
so
that
business
and
we
have
already
developed
a
relationship
with
the
city
and
the
county
as
to
what
can
come
into
our
neighborhood
and
how
they
would
have
to
talk
to
us
before
they
wanted
to
do
any
resounding
or
conditional,
resonant
or
whatever
so
I.
Think,
as
as
we
start
to
go
into
that,
you
know
Bird
Street
economics.
They
want
to
bring
in
businesses,
they
want
to
do
more
things.
L
I
Just
remember
that,
as
you
go
through
to
try
to
develop
what
happened,
it
is
that
you
want
to
make
that,
because
Shiloh
is
very,
we
we
have
worked
very
hard.
Just
I
mean
it's
not
overnight.
Like
you
said,
it
was
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
had
everything
that
we
needed,
and
the
city
was
a
great
help
with
everything
that
we
had.
B
Noting
that
Economic
Development
encompasses
everything
that
we
have
at
this
table
when
you
talk
Economic
Development
you're,
talking,
Child,
Care,
housing,
housing,
health
care,
you're
talking
everything
in
Economic
Development
encompasses
everything
that
we're
talking
about
around
the
table.
So
we
just
need
to
make
sure
that
when
we
start
talking
about
you
know
the
plans
that
Economic
Development
groups
are
looking
at
that
we're
looking
at
everybody
as
a
whole
to
be
a
part
of
it.
H
D
Keeps
coming
up
that
two
hours
we
talked
illegal
about
this,
please
correctly,
but
as
long
as
we
keep
the
number
under
the
form
we
don't
need
to
have
it
in
a
public
meeting.
Setting
y'all
hear
is
that
if
we
keep
the
number
under
Quorum
under
13,
we
can
have
these
kind
of
prolonged
conversations
going
any
direction
we
want
to
without
having
going
through
the
public
meeting
protocols
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we
might
be
able
to
do
that
is
by
zooming.
D
D
E
E
All
right
so
Dwayne
and
The
Economic.
R
E
Excited
that
y'all
brought
that
forth
and
I
think
you
should
look
at
each
of
the
each
of
the
community
friends
and
look
at
considering
God's
recommendation,
and
so
by
the
end
of
this
week,
y'all
will
be
getting
a
written
recommendation
from
The
Economic
Development
Group,
and
it
will
be
for
consideration
for
our
next
meeting,
and
so
please
don't
forget
to
go
to
the
economic
development
IFA
meetings,
if
you
have
questions
or
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
process,
still
be
amazing
and
so
definitely
reach
out
to
the
economic
development
Isa.
E
So
our
next
IFA
group
will
be
housing.
I
At
Steven's
league
in
the
child
care
Development
Area,
we
have
done
work.
We
realized
that
it
was
more
complicated.
Housing
is
very
different,
as
you
start
to
talk
about
what
it
encapses
and
and
what
the
harm
has
been
done
as
far
as
housing
and
as
you
tie
into
like
Dwayne,
has
said
all
the
other
things
umbrella
together.
That
housing
plays
them
here
in
major
Park
and
what
has
happened
to
the
harm
of
our
communities
and
and.
I
And
all
those
other
things
to
go,
so
what
we
did
was
we've
identified,
those
things
and
we've
talked
about
them
and
what
we
needed
support
for
what
I
think
we
had
asked
for
the
city
and
the
county.
If
that
was
a
way,
they
could
give
us
the
data
on
how
many,
how
much
primary
properties
that
the
city
and
county
actually
own,
so
that
we
could
kind
of
look
at
that
and
review
it
and
see
what
we
could
do
as
far
as
helping
ourselves
in
our
communities
with
those
different
entities
and
we're.
I
Starting
to
know
each
other,
we
talk
to
each
other,
we
communicate
I
think
that
what
had
happened
was
that
we
don't
have
time
and
Tai
was
very
good
and
his
directions
were
what
he
wanted
to
do
and
Salah
came
and
picked
up
and
it
was
like.
We
didn't
even
realize
that
we
had
to
start
over
or
but
we
all
are
very
conscious
that
we
have
our
own
opinions,
but
we
respect
each
other's
opinion,
and
so,
whenever
we
voice.
I
E
All
right,
thank
you,
so
much
housing,
Grew,
From
Bob
here
for
Brazil,
so
I
would
like
to
move
to
criminal
justice
and
the
spokesperson
for
criminal
justice.
Please.
I
Provided
me
with
her
notice
at
least
the
second
Wednesday
of
each
month,
you
meet
the
students
leave
from
six
to
eight
pm.
We
do
have
some
recommendations
we
do.
We
did
have
some
data
that
we've
reviewed
that
came
from
Criminal.
Excuse
me,
stocks
by
the
action
Police
Department
that
will
derived
from
the
SBI
Department
of
Justice
in
North
Carolina,
as
y'all
may
know-
and
probably
most
of
you
do-
is
that
we
use
that
database
of
information
along
with
some
civil
rights.
I
That
turns
to
invoke
a
written
consent
to
search
by
the
Asheville
Police
Department,
and
also
that
same
database
and
the
database
that
Buncombe
County
provided
to
get
banned.
The
Bots
enacted
by
Asheville
City,
Buncombe
County
and
Mission
Health
Systems,
the
largest
employer
in
Western
North
Carolina.
That
is
the
power
of
data
and
what
it
can
do.
It
can
change
policy
and
it
can
change
people's
lives.
So
that's
what
we're
looking
forward
to.
I
We
do
have
some
recommendations
and
some
harms
as
well
as
some
of
us
have
turned
in
some
some
plans
and
some
budgets
for
some
programs.
That'll
look
at
files,
intervention
and
also
some
Workforce
stuff
for
folks
who
have
been
criminal
justice
involved
and
that's
about
it
so
I'm,
just
looking
forward
to
more
data
and
designing
programs
that
will
help
people
in
our
community
that
are
very
changing.
E
It's
always
the
so
I
would
like
to
go
to
the
education
group.
Who
is
the
spokesperson
for
Education?
She.
L
She
is
the
Expo
experience
spokesperson,
she's,
not
here
so
I
will
take
her
place
for
tonight.
So
we
start
off
with
everybody
like
everybody
else
that
can
the
education
focus
group
please
raise
their
hand.
L
L
Let's
see
what
else
did
we
add?
We
were
hoping
to
hear
from
the
folks
who
created
the
pods
into
a
very
successful
during
the
the
covid
they
had
to
cancel
because
of
illness,
but
hopefully
we'll
get
them
back
to
talk
to
us
about
how
those
are
formed
and
what
they
can
do,
how
a
community
came
together
and
sort
of
put
together,
Educational
Systems
for
our
kids
and
see,
if
that's
a
viable
program
that
we
can
use
going
forward.
L
We
also
are
just
beginning
to
look
at
some
immediate
harms,
and
so
one
of
our
discussions
tomorrow
will
be
a
proposal
about
excessive
suspensions
of
black
students.
Now
we
might
address
that
immediately.
So
please
come
on
out
tomorrow
at
the
YWCA,
from
6
to
7.
30.
L
I
Lighthouse
actually
did
a
virtual
account.
So
don't
don't
just
remember
unless,
because
we
actually
opened
up
our
church
and
the
kids
came
and
they
did
not
considered
pods,
but
we
were
like
a
virtual
Learning
Academy,
and
so,
as
you
think
about
that,
it
was
a
source
for
parents
to
be
able
to
go
to
work.
I
L
J
Don't
necessarily
just
mean
the
pods
as
it
is
now,
because
the
pies
and
Compasses
like
multiple,
like
different
organizations,
whether
it
was
probably
lighting
up
or
whoever
we
supported
with
the
funding
it
could
have
been
Christine,
Avery
or
ytl.
It
wasn't
just
so.
We've
been
mostly
black
LED
organizations
under
that
okay.
E
So
thank
you
Health
and
Wellness,
and
the
spokesperson
for
our
health
I'm.
J
W
Don't
feel
like
two
minutes
will
do
the
group
justice,
but
we'll
try.
One
of
the
things
that
the
group
has
done
is
develop
eight
different
recommendation
areas.
W
So
when
we
brainstormed
and
I
see
our
members,
will
you
raise
your
hand,
please
Dr
tamari,
a
couple
have
already
left:
we've
gotten
eight
different
areas
of
recommendations
and
health
and
wellness,
including
the
provision
of
free
Access
to
Health
Care,
there's
sub
recommendations
in
each
of
these
fields,
eliminating
bias
and
implementing
accountability
of
staff
and
providers,
stopping
harms
and
decreasing
barriers
related
to
health
and
wellness,
including
supporting
black
owned
Health
Centers
they're,
again
sub
categories
of
each
of
these
African-American
healing
spaces.
W
How
do
we
support
that
as
part
of
our
recommendations,
African-American
representation
and
decision
making
processes
for
health
centers?
How
can
we
have
black
representation
across
leadership
and
health
care
and
public
health
Arenas?
How
can
we
recruit
additional
healthcare
providers
who
happen
to
be
bipart,
African-American,
utilizing
city
and
county
to
leverage
their
power
for,
for
example,
to
leverage
and
incentivize
Healthcare
entities
to
to
do
right
in
this
space?
W
All
of
these
categories
have
again
sub
recommendations
and
the
group
has
been
concentrating
on
how
do
we
do
immediate
short-term
mid-term
and
long-term
strategies
and
having
those
categorized
so
that
we
can
look
at
where
the
priorities
are?
That's
where
we're
also
looking
we've
been
meeting
every
other
Tuesday,
tomorrow's,
the
last
meeting
of
2022.
We
start
back
up
in
January
the
other
pieces
that
we
are
also
interested.
We've
heard
the
comments
about
Community
engagement,
so
one
of
the
things
that
our
group
is
trying
to
do
is
how
do
we
co-sponsor
activities
with
other
organizations?
W
We've
talked
about
and
are
exploring
partnering
with
RJC
to
do
something
out
in
the
community
around
this,
so
that
we
can
get
also
Community
input.
We've
also
talked
about
having
some
of
our
sessions
at
different
community
centers.
Are
we
going
to
Shiloh
because
we've
heard
that
again,
how
can
we
make
sure
that
we
have
Community
involvement
that
are
supporting
and
hearing
these
recommendations
in
a
greater
setting
than
amongst
the
Commissioners?
So
that's
something.
That's
also
been
a
part
of
our
priorities.
W
Commissioners.
Is
there
anything
else
tomorrow?
No,
but
we
will
start
again
in
January
again
we
beat
about
twice
a
month
every
other
Tuesday
and
we
look
forward
to
sharing
the
rest
of
our
information
with
all
of
you
all
I'd
ask,
because
two
minutes
is
just
not
enough
to
do
the
amazing
Justice
that
this
work.
W
This
group
has
done
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
see
if
we
can
rotate
sometimes
to
reporting,
because
the
first
groups
normally
get
10
to
15
minutes,
and
then
we,
the
rest
of
us,
have
to
try
to
cram
it
in
and
I.
Just
think
the
work
is
fabulous
that
they've
done
I
just
want
to
give
them
credit
for
it.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
so
much
all
right.
That
concludes.
E
Ifa
report,
outs
and
I
am
super
impressed
with
all
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing.
I
know
outside
of
this
meeting.
We
do
a
lot
of
work.
E
We
would
normally
do
a
round
table,
but
we
want
tonight
we're
going
to
bypass
that
and
I'll
let
Dr
Moss
take
over
with
public
comment.
We.
D
Have
one
signed
up
for
public
comment,
Rob
Thomas.
E
Why
are
you
walking
up
there,
so
each
group.
E
So,
hopefully,
moving
forward,
we
will
be
getting
the
updates
that
have
come
from
the
IFA,
also
in
writing
so
that
everybody
has
a
copy
of
it
and
they.
So
we
can
all
be
informed
and
have
it
in
the
package.
G
Yes,
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
starting
in
January
there's
going
to
be
a
format
in
structure
so
that
we
can
strengthen
these
recommendations
and
communicate
from
the
IFA
to
this
body,
city
and
county,
so
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
so
yeah
we
we're
all
doing
the
same
thing.
Absolutely.
X
This
microphone
does
work.
Okay,
so,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
definitely
congratulate
Seiko
Coleman
for
getting
the
community
engagement
contract.
They
are
amazing
organization,
I.
Think
they're.
Gonna
do
a
really
good
job,
but
I
wanted
to
come
up
here
and
offer
a
recommendation
myself
as
far
as
pertaining
to
the
city.
X
I
think
they
could
be
immediate
or
midterm,
but
a
slavery,
disclosure
ordinance
and
what
this
is
and
what
it
does
is
any
business
that
is
looking
to
contract
with
the
city
and
they
have
either
profited
or
benefited
off
of
slavery
or
the
Harm's
name
in
The
Resolution.
They
would
have
to
name
that
up
front
and
if
they
did
not,
then
they
could
be
penalized.
Now
there
are
a
variety
of
ways
that
this
artist
could
be
written.
I've
seen
some
with
no
teeth,
I've
seen
some
whipped
teeth,
but
it'd
be
really
good.
X
If
we
could
create
one
with
teeth
to
where,
if
they
violate
the
proceeds,
then
go
to
reparations,
and
it
also
gives
us
a
leg
up
when
it
comes
around
to
look
up
private
businesses.
The
whole
culpable
for
past
harms
another
thing
that
I
did
want
to
bring
I
wasn't
planning
to
mention
this,
but
I
did
hear
a
statement
based
on
other
groups.
X
Doing
reparations
in
the
community
and
I
know
that
you
all
have
probably
heard
of
the
reparations
and
stakeholder
authority
of
Asheville-
maybe
maybe
not,
but
we're
always
willing
to
come
and
do
a
presentation
I've
been
trying
to
come
and
do
presentations
for
a
while.
But
it's
not
it's
there's
a
few
things
about
it.
It
is
ran
and
controlled
by
community
members.
It
is
a
members-based
organization
so
that
every
Community
member
that
is
a
member
of
it
are
the
individuals
that
are
in
control
of
it.
X
It
will
not
behold
it
be
beholden
to
any
other
entity
or
any
individual
person,
but
the
actual
community
members
themselves
will
decide
where
how
they
want
their
money
dispersed,
and
it
can
do
things
that
the
city
and
municipal
government
cannot,
but
you
all
definitely
can
do
things
that
it
cannot
do
such
is
what
you're
currently
doing
now
with
policy,
but
they
can
do
things
that
would
be
declared
positive
discrimination
at
the
city
level.
X
Cam
Howard
came
and
talked
about
it
when
he
was
speaking
about
reparations,
Finance
authorities
I've
been
working
with
him
for
a
while
on
creating
this
and
implementing
this
in
our
city,
he'll.
Actually,
they'll,
Narcan
and
Cobra
will
actually
be
coming
down
here
soon
to
help
getting
off
the
ground
really
good,
but
I
would
encour
urge
you
all
to
work
with.
X
It
is
not
in
competition
with
the
city,
it's
not
to
quote
unquote,
make
you
all
look
bad
or
any
of
that,
but,
like
I,
said,
I
would
love
to
do
a
comprehensive
presentation
on
exactly
what
it
is
exactly
what
it
does,
so
that
it
dispels
the
confusion
and
so
that
you
all
know
that
you
have
nothing
to
worry
about.
As
far
as
anybody
trying
to
take
control
of
you
all's
process,
that's
it
I!
Guess!
That's
my
five
minutes.
D
And
my
apologies
for
being
11
Minnesota.
Your
attention
is
appreciated.
You
have
a
motion
for
a
gentleman.
