A
B
Called
this
meeting
to
order
I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
to
order
before
I
have
remarks
for
you
before
we
do
you
mind
doing
the
road.
D
C
There
is
a
corner
alternate
the
birth
here,
Tiffany
develop
here,
shikiki
Jazz
baton.
It's
here,
oh
Sandy,
Peters
here.
B
B
So
if
you
could
direct
your
comments
to
me
as
you
speak
into
the
mic,
I
can
recognize
you
where
you
can
be
in
sequence,
with
our
comments,
but
before
we
get
going,
I
I
have
a
couple
of
remarks
for
you,
one
is
Happy
New
Year.
B
This
is
2023.
We're
supposed
to
be
a
flying
car,
but
next
weekend
is
is
something
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention.
Is
next
weekend
is
Martin
Luther
King
weekend
it's
a
celebration
of
his
birth
and
I.
Just
said
the
commission
and
reparations
commission.
You
might
be
asked
about
what
that
means
and
I
appreciate
several
of
you
already
taking
positions
and
making
yourselves
available
for
media
interviews
and
I
appreciate
that
you're
putting
a
good
for
a
good
face
as
we
move
forward.
B
In
fact,
here's
one
of
our
media
stars
now
this
is
Mr
Richardson
and,
and
your
comments
are
being
taken
not
simply
because
of
who
you
are
as
members
of
the
reparations
commission.
But
what
you're
doing
is
educating
the
public
about
what
we
are
doing
and
you're
educating
each
other
about
where
we
need
to
go.
B
This
is
a
due
process,
and
so,
as
we
move
forward
into
Martin
Luther
King's
weekend,
let
me
let
me
suggest
something
to
you
is
that
when
he
started
this
with
the
with
the
Montgomery
Bus
Boycott,
it
was
so
ill,
planned
and
ill-considered
that
they
had
not
considered
it
to
be
what
it
became.
B
B
Let
me
suggest
to
you
that
it
took
over
10
years
for
King
to
do
what
he
got
done
with
the
help
of
others
and
others
leading
in
their
own
capacities.
It
was
not
a
one-man
show.
This
is
it.
You
know
this
is
an
important
precedent
for
us.
You
know,
as
we
talk
about
not
having
a
precedent
for
reparations
commissions,
we
have
to
look
to
see
where
there
are
where
there
might
be
precedent.
B
King
had
no
blueprint.
He
had
no
idea
that
what
he
would
end
up
doing
is
challenging
a
status
quo
that
everyone
told
him
was
unchallengeable.
No
one
thought
when
he
started.
No
one
thought
that
when
he
started
that
it
would
bring
down
Jim
Cross
segregation,
no
one,
it
was
a
pipe
drink
that
sound
familiar
and
think
about
it.
B
B
So
what
we
are
doing
here
matters
don't
think
that,
because
we
don't
have
a
blueprint
or
we're
shaky
about
process
and
procedure
or
because
we
don't
have
the
budget
in
place
or
it
defies
president,
don't
think
that
we
don't
know
what
we're
doing
we're
heading
the
right
place.
We
are
it
just
takes
time
and
it
takes
us
believing
in
each
other,
I've
heard
a
lot
of
discouragement.
B
B
Thank
you.
That's
why
you
got
to
respect
your
elders,
but
you,
you
know
you're
looking
for
precedent.
Sometimes
it's
in
your
face,
so
you
don't
see
it
next
weekend.
Think
about
what
what
gets
talked
about
around
town
or
in
the
media,
and
look
at
how
it
might
apply
to
what
we're
doing
here
with
reparations,
think
about
King
having
opened
the
door
and
we
are
now
figuring
out
how
to
walk
through
it
against
it.
B
It's
not
been
done.
It's
not
been
done,
but
we're
gonna.
Do
it
just
an
action
item
on
the
agenda
approval
of
the
agenda
they're
missing
items?
There
are
things
that
are
misstated.
Please
feel
free
to
point
it
out
so
I'm
going
to
take
your
assignments
as
approval.
Is
that
permissible
for
the
agenda?
Thank
you
and
action
item.
Approval
of
the
minutes.
We
have
a
formal
motion
on
that.
They'll
move.
Is
there
a
second
questions,
comments.
B
E
Thank
you,
oh
at
the
last
meeting
and
I'm
assuming
this
is
going
to
be
in
here,
haven't
looked
at
the
rest
of.
F
This
we
we
talked
about
safety
in
the
meeting
I'm,
assuming
that's
going
to
be
put
in
here
and
that's
on
the
agenda.
B
If
saying
is,
is
may
I
look
for
your
voice,
approval
of
the
minutes,
all
those
in
favor.
Please
say
yes,
yes,.
A
B
Thank
you
and
please
know
that
with
any
minutes
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
If
there
are
questions,
if
there
are
changes
as
you'd
study
through
them,
you
find
mistakes,
we
can't
go
back,
we
can't
go
back
so.
B
G
So
I'm
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
talking
about
the
survey
data.
Hopefully
you
all
have
had
a
chance
to
review
it.
We
got
10
responses
from
the
post
meeting
survey
from
December
5th
and
they
were
overwhelmingly
majority
positive
responses.
G
The
first
question
asked:
did
you
have
just
going
to
do
express
your
ideas,
thoughts
and
opinions
and
majority
answers?
Yes,
two
answered
no,
but
did
not
provide
an
explanation
in
the
text
box
for
the
next
question.
G
Regular
overall
assessment
majority
responded
with
moderately
satisfied
to
very
satisfied
and
then,
when
it
comes
to
the
comments
about
what
folks
liked
about
the
December
5th
meeting,
the
communication
flow
wanting
to
you
know
really
appreciating
the
presentations
by
the
IFA
group
and
then
going
over
the
proposal
to
to
stop
the
harm
was
a
positive,
Point
items
that
folks
believe
we
needed
improving
during
the
December
5th
meeting
include
just
really
addressing
when
commission
members
are
speaking
over
one
another
and
making
sure
that
the
whole
commission
has
complete
verbiage
and
drafts
of
recommendations
prior
to
voting.
G
So
we're
going
to
work
on
making
sure
that
you
have
all
of
these
documents
ahead
of
time
so
that
you
have
time
to
review
and
also
we
we
stated
earlier
about
just
making
sure
you
speak
clearly
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
identify
folks
as
they're
speaking,
so
that
no
one
is
I'm
talking
over
one
another.
Let's
see
wanting
to
move
the
recommendation
process
forward
and
then
just
too
many
topics
and
really
wanting
to
to
hone
in
on
what's
important
in
these
meetings.
Some
suggestions
for
future
agenda
topics
includes
group
definition
of
reparations.
G
There
is
a
comment
about
legalities
and
conflicts
of
interest,
so
these
are
definitely
things
that
we're
going
to
be
bringing
up
as
we
move
along
and
obviously
we
want
you
to
know
that
we're
reading
your
responses
in
these
surveys
they
are
confidential.
To
the
point
where
we
don't
know
who
is
you
know
is,
is
writing
these
comments,
but
they're
not
they're
our
public.
They
are
public,
but
they
are
Anonymous
all
right.
So
those
are
your
survey
responses.
We
got
10
responses
this
time.
G
H
Comments,
listen
so
on
question,
five
about
the
suggestions
and
she
stated
that
about
the
hiring
and
as
far
as
the
new
members
being
brought
upon
So.
Based
upon
this,
our
onboarding
guide
like
on
page
18.
It
says
that,
like
the
commission
member
is
unable
to
fulfill
their
duties,
like
alternates
will
be
essentially
asked
to
step
in,
and
so
like.
I
did
notice.
That
I
think
we've
had
two
or
three
new
members
who
have
been
brought
on,
and
so
that
kind
of
conflicts
with
like
what
our
guide
is.
So
that
wasn't
my
comment.
G
It
I
think
that
and
feel
free
to
correct
me
where
I'm
wrong,
but
I
I,
think
that
was
a
appointment
from
the
neighborhood.
So
there's
separate
kinds
of
appointments,
I'm.
E
A
point
depending
on
how
you
were
appointed,
so
you
were
appointed
by
the
city
of
Asheville,
but
we
have
a
vacancy
on
this
on
the
city.
Side
of
our
appointments
of
the
five
you
or
Timothy
will
be
asked.
If
you
are
willing
to
step
up,
and
then
the
council
will
make
that
decision,
the
two
that
were
replaced
tomorrow,
Miller
in
the
area
Robertson
we're
from
housing
author
party,
so
they
have
to
make
those
appointments.
So
how
you
came
into
the
commission
is
how
you
remain
coming
into
the
commission.
That
makes
sense.
H
Oh,
it
does
I
was
just
trying
to
figure,
I
mean
it
wasn't
discussed
when
so
we
just
heard
hey,
we
have
new
members
and
so
we're
all
kind
of
like.
What's
what's
going
on
with
that,
so
in
response
to
that,
can
we
get
an
updated
project
team
list
and
commission
member
list,
because
I
noticed
that
what
I
have
here
in
the
folder
I
guess
it's
now
outdated,
so
that
needs
to
be
updated
as
well.
B
We
moved
to
oh
business.
B
In
your
packet
that
you
receive
there's
a
copy
of
a
new
proposal
for
a
code
of
ethics
to
introduce
this
to
you,
investor
and
City
attorney,
Brad
Brown,.
B
I
Just
mentioned
a
copy
that
is
included
in
your
packet.
You
are
not
required
at
this
point
to
have
before
we
read
that
and
digested
it.
I
will
tell
you
that
this
has
been
produced
in
response
to
the
request
from
the
committee
to
provide
some
additional
guidelines
about
how
you
are
to
conduct
yourself
to
answer
some
questions
that
have
Arisen
about
what
issues
might
arise
in
the
form
of
conflicts
of
interest
and
what,
if
any
actions,
could
this
body
take
to
address
those
issues
when
they
pop
up
and
become
problematic?
I
It
is
not
at
all
unusual
for
public
bodies
such
as
yourself
to
have
both
rules
of
procedure,
as
you
do,
and
a
code
of
evidence,
as
is
prepared
for
your
consideration
this
evening.
In
fact,
the
code
of
ethics
that
we
put
together
for
you
is
a
model
very
closely
after
what
the
actual
city
council
and
the
Buncombe
County
Commissioners
utilize
themselves
as
their
code
of
ethics.
So
this
is
fairly
standard
language
and
very
quickly
this
evening,
I
just
want
to
go
over
at
a
broad
level.
What
is
in
that
document?
I
So
if
I
can
very
briefly,
the
proposed
document,
which
again
is
called
code
of
ethics
and
rules
and
conduct,
is
made
up
of
nine
sections.
The
Preamble
is
merely
cursory.
It
gives
some
indication
of
why
you
would
be
going
about
establishing
a
code
of
ethics,
but
we
don't
need
to
go
over
that
and
I
think
I
can
read
very
quickly
the
first
sentence
of
the
code
of
ethics,
because
I
think
this
memorializes
why
you
would
want
to
do
this?
I
So
very
broadly,
I'll
go
right
into
section
one
and
tell
you
that
without
reading
all
of
this,
this
is
intended
that,
in
the
initial
section
to
remind
you
that
acting
ethically
is
a
component
to
the
success
of
this
body,
and
in
fact
most
of
this
is
common
sense,
and
we
always
tell
people
when
we're
helping
them
analyze.
Ethics
rules
is
what
do
you
believe
you
should
be
doing?
What
do
you
believe
would
be
the
most
appropriate
concept
if
I
simply
say
the.
C
I
Ethics
and
that's
really
what
this
first
section
is,
and
just
briefly
it
knows
that
the
word
of
this
commission
depends
upon
public
confidence
in
the
Integrity
of
this
body.
The
responsible
exercise
of
the
trust
conferred
by
the
local
governments
was
formed,
the
commission
and
the
mutual
respect
and
ethical
treatment
among
the
membership.
I.
I
Think
that
encompasses
everything
else
in
that
section,
it
is
the
high
ideals
which
you
have
strewn
to
uphold
as
part
of
your
work
section
two,
it
goes
into
a
little
more
detail
asking
you
to
respect
the
law
as
well
as
each
other's
opinions.
I
It
requires
you
to
obey
the
applicable
laws
and
we'll
talk
a
little
more
about
that
in
just
a
second,
but
it
also
makes
sure
that
every
one
of
you
should
feel
free
to
express
and
assert
your
positions
without
fear
of
appraisal,
and
that
includes
from
the
Commissioners,
the
facilitators
city
and
county
staff
and
the
community
members.
I
That
leads
us
into
section
three,
where
we
ask
you
to
act
with
integrity.
There
are
specifics
laid
out
and
we
can
just
hit
on
a
few
of
them,
but
I've
already
mentioned
exercising
respect
toward
everyone
exhibiting
trustworthiness
using
your
independent
judgment,
remaining
incorruptible,
treating
other
commission
members
and
the
public
with
respect.
Even
when
Others
May
disagree
with
your
opinions,
fostering
an
environment
of
open
communication
and
not
behaving
in
ways
that
would
reflect
badly
upon
the
commission.
I
We'll
move
now
into
the
opposite
side
of
this
coin,
which
section
4
begins
to
talk
about
the
impropriety,
and
we
don't
have
to
go
into
too
much
detail
in
propriety.
Over
and
above
conflicts
of
interest,
very.
I
I
The
test
of
this
is
pretty
simple:
it's,
whether
or
not
a
reasonable
person,
given
all
the
knowledge
about
the
circumstance
we
consider
the
ACT
to
be
wrong.
So
keep
that
in
mind.
Section
number
five
asks
you
to
disclose
these
potential
potential
issues
to
the
attorneys.
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
here
we're
here
to
help
you
navigate
through
this
process.
So.
I
Can
worry
about
the
business
which
you're
charged
to
do
and
let
us
help
assist
you
with
the
rules
and
the
minutian
of
that
section.
Six
goes
it's
a
little
more
about
the
duties
of
your
membership.
I
It
asks
you
to
act
as
especially
responsible
citizens
who
others
can
trust
and
respect
and
set
a
good
example
for
us.
But
more
specifically,
it
asks
that
you
Faithfully
attend
these
meetings,
that
you
prepare
for
these
meetings,
that
you
analyze
the
information,
that's
given
to
you,
so
that
you
can
make
the
best
decisions
about
it
and
that
you
bear
your
fair
share
of
the
commission's
workload
and
always
and
I.
Think
importantly,
you
put
the
commission's
interest
above
your
individual
interest.
I
Section
7
goes
into
some
of
those
laws
we
talked
about
earlier
and
reminds
you
that
transparency
and
compliance
are
also
important
aspects
of
this
body's
work.
What
you
do
is
be
done
in
the
bible
guide.
We
record
these.
We
invite
the
public.
We
ask
them
to
be
able
to
speak.
I
So
remember
that
your
meetings,
even
when
you're
not
part
of
this
body
or
part
of
your
individual
folk
series,
they
need
to
be
public
meetings
and
we
can
help
you
notice
those
meetings
but
always
be
careful
that
you're
not
breaking
those
rules
and
meeting
outside
the
public
eye
and
keeping
your
records,
because
those
are
public
records.
They
are
the
people's
records
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
nothing
gets
lost
in
the
process
of
your
work.
Section
8.
I
This
talks
about
conflict
of
interest
different
from
an
impropriety
and
if
a
priority
truly
is
something
that's
wrong.
But
conflict
of
interest
may
happen
whether
you
intended
something
bad
or
not.
It
just
may
be
a
result
of
your
business
Association.
Your
familiar
associations
and
the
most
important
thing
is
that
you
disclose
those
to
us.
It
may
be
no
more
work
than
just
recusing
you
on
a
certain
vote,
making
sure
the
chair
is
aware
of
that.
But
please
please
bring
those
to
our
attention.
A
I
Interestingly,
We've
added
section
nine,
which
is
the
final
section
which
gives
you
the
power
of
the
body
to
address
any
issues,
a
violations
of
this
code.
If
you
choose
to
adopt
it,
it
gives
you
two
Powers.
One
is
the
power
of
what
we
call
center,
which
is
a
a
public
expression
of
formal
disapproval
of
someone's
actions.
Understand
that
this
is
generally
the
limit
of
what
public
bodies
can
do,
except
for
some
very
extreme
circumstances.
I
It
does
not
remove
that
member
from
the
body
or
take
away
any
voting
rights,
but
it
does
very
publicly
recommend
the
second
and
more
extreme
is
a
recommendation
to
removing,
because
you
are
not
the
body
that
formed
yourself.
The
final
decision
and
power
of
removal
lies
with
the
appointing
governing
bodies,
the
city
council
and
the
County
Commission,
but
you
can
make
a
very
powerful
recommendation
to
those
boards
to
remove
a
member
in
these
circumstances,
if
you
so
choose
so
those
Avenues
of
redress
have
been
included
in
your
rules,
so.
I
That
quickly,
but
you
do
have
an
anger
packet
you're
not
voting
this
evening,
so
you'll
have
some
opportunity
to
go
through
that
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you've
got
tonight
but
extend
that
outside
of
this
Michael
frew
and
I
are
angry
disposal
answering
questions
that
you
would
have
Beyond
tonight's
meeting
about
those
rules
and
as
I
mentioned
the
chair
a
minute
ago.
These
are
your
rules.
We've,
given
you
a
form,
it's
it's
fairly
standard
for
what
public
bodies
use.
We've
tried
to
tailor
it
to
your
needs,
but
don't
take
our
work
reports.
I
K
A
lot
of
us
expressed:
why
did
it
anyway,
some
potential
conflicts
of
interest,
which
looks
like
in
my
work
with
several
Community
groups
that
have
real
estate
dealings
with
the
city
of
Asheville
and
I?
Guess
it
would
come
down
to
a
simple
accuser
if
that
vote
were
to
come
up?
Is
that
correct?
Or
how
do
we
do
that
I've
already
expressed
that
I
hope
it's
in
a
minute
somewhere,
but
I,
don't
know,
I
haven't
been
looking
at
them
that
closely,
but
just
do
want
to
make
that
announcement.
Thank.
I
You
for
that
question
Dean.
First,
let
me
thank
you,
because
you've
done
the
first
thing
that
we
would
ask
in
the
three-step
process
and
that's
to
bring
it
to
the
attention
of
the
commission
or
the
attorneys.
The
second
step
is
always
to
let
us
analyze
it
for
you
and
determine
if
a
conflict
does
exist
and
if
it
does,
this
is
not
something.
That's.
A
I
Needs
to
be
addressed
and
we
would
address
it
exactly
as
you
suggested
we'd.
Let
you
recuse
yourself
if
the
conflict
exists
and
the
vote
would
take
place
as
planned
with
the
remaining
members.
So
there's
never
in
Conflict
there's
something
wrong
with
an
undisclosed
conflict.
So
simply
exposing
that
to
us
lets
us
lead
you
through
the
process
to
address
it
and
move
on
with
the
votes.
K
That
was
so
important
in-house
out
of
season
when
we're
dealing
with
work
that
originates
with
individuals
and
just
not
me,
but
other
people
who
are
on
this
commission
and
it's
a
body
of
work
that
was
done
prior
to
the
creation
of
this
committee
that
is
used.
How
is
that
work
regarded
since
his
intellectual
property?
So
to
speak,
whether
or
not
it's
copyright
in
a
trademark,
but
it
is
just
that
intellectual
property
and
the
only
thing
you
know
folks
don't
need
to
get
paid
for
it,
at
least
in
my
case
I.
K
Don't
it
was
done
to
benefit
the
community
and
give
them
freely
from
an
ethical
standpoint.
Is
that
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed
as
far
as
giving
people
credit
for
it?
I
don't
know.
How
is
that
going
to
be
done
when
it's
utilized,
as
a
body
of
information
by
this
group,
to
take
deliberative
action.
I
A
I
You
bring
those
things
with
you,
including
things
like
intellectual
property
and
and
it
benefits
this
group
where
we
would
draw
the
line,
and
it's
a
line
only
in
potential
conflict
of
interest,
in
that
we
don't
want
you
to
take
it
so
far
as
to
allow
votes.
You
would
take
in
actions
by
this
commission
to
give
you
an
additional
economic
benefit,
but
recognition
of
your
capabilities,
and
what
do
you
bring
to?
This
probably
does
not
cross
that
line
D,
but
always
on
a
Case
by
case
spaces.
B
Other
questions,
if,
if
questions
arise,
as
you
read
through
and
study
this
code
of
review,
it
will
come
up
in
the
next
agenda
during
our
next
meeting,
so
it
can
be
addressed.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
We're
at
oh
business,
B,
revisit
the
role
of
commission
definition
of
preparation.
B
My
my
comment
here
is
that
Mr
Mike
Peters
has
already
done,
and
Sandra
was
already
giving
you
a
guidance
on
what
I
think
is
a
proper
review
of
our
mission
by
encouraging
you
and
I
strongly
encourage
you
to
re-read
my
onboarding
guide,
the
notebooks.
B
B
That's
that's
the
essence
of
reparations,
but
we
will
get
into
it
further,
and
this
is
the
two
routes
I'd
love
to
propose
to
you
no
vote,
if
necessary,
one
that
I'm
more
than
happy
to
host
virtual
or
in
person
meetings
with
Commissioners
or
even
public
members
of
the
public,
about
the
definition
of
and
discussion
of,
your
questions
regarding
reparations.
K
B
K
From
a
legal
standpoint,
the
definition
of
reparations
as
a
spouse
and
utilized
by
the
federal
government
versus
and
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
that
from
people
in
the
community
who
really
understand
what
reparation
means
and
the
bandwidth,
the
economic
bandwidth
that
municipalities
and
local
governments.
K
B
Have
to
remember
the
the
conversation
with
professor
come
on
y'all
Sandy.
L
B
K
K
As
far
as
from
an
economic
standpoint,
I
guess
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
legal
fire
that
is
going
to
draw,
because
it
is
not
real
reparations
such
that
it
is
something
that
has
been
a
massage
that
only
the
federal
government
has
abandoned
to
do.
A
K
I'm
concerned,
simply
because
of
the
fact
that
another
fact
not
only
the
legalities
of
it,
but
the
time
and
economic
resources
that
we're
probably
going
to
spend
in
lawsuits
dealing
with
yeah
I'm
coming
from
a
realistic
standpoint,
it
sounds
good
on
somebody
right
and
it.
You
know
it
looks
good
when
you
go
on.
B
A
tour
and
talk
about
you
did
reparations
in
Asheville,
but
all
you
did
was
probably
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
worth
of
thousands
of
houses,
yeah
dude.
This
is
this
is
the
reason
why
I
think
that
an
informal
conversation
outside
of
the
confines
of
this
at
this
time
frame
for
this
meeting
is
more
appropriate.
B
But-
and
let
me
let
me
let
me
go
on-
is
that
the
definition
of
reparations
as
as
commissioner
Williams
is
presenting
it
doesn't
cover
what
we
might
need
to
talk
about
in
terms
of
health
care
or
in
terms
of
Education,
which
we've
also
been
chartered
to
do.
Reparations
is
a
very
broad
term
or
we
can
choose
to
have
a
legalistic
term.
It's
it's
really
dependent
on
you
now.
B
The
way
that
we
have
been
assigned
by
the
city
and
by
the
county
is
to
count
the
closing
of
disparities
in
public
policy
areas
as
a
part
of
reparations,
but
how
we
do
that
and
whether
or
not
what
we
choose
to
focus
on
and
even
in
terms
of
preparations
to
defend
our
position
might
need
to
take
a
different
type
of
place
other
than
this
meeting
and
I'm
more
than
happy
to
host
that
meeting
online
or
in
person.
If
you
could
on
your
survey,
indicate
that
we
could
try
to
arrange
it.
B
You
can
well
I'm
kind
of
anxious
to
get
through
this
this
agenda.
If
you
don't
mind,
we
have
a
presentation
from
the
city
and
county
as
a
response
to
immediate
recommendations
regarding
I've
been
nicknaming.
It
stop
the
harm
we
have
representatives
from
the
city
and
from
the
county,
Rachel
Wood
and
DK
Wesley
is
speaking.
M
City
manager
I'm
going
to
be
in
this
presentation,
but
just
know
that
this
was
developed
in
partnership
with
Buncombe
County
D.K
Wesley.
My
counterpart
and
assistant
County
manager
is
also
here.
Questions
from
the
county
side
and
attached
with
the
agenda
was
a
copy
of
the
draft
resolution.
We've
also
got
a
paper
copy
available
for
you.
M
M
M
So,
as
I
mentioned
as
your
last
meeting,
the
reparations
commission
passed
an
immediate
recommendation
to
end
further
harm,
increasing
repetition
of
institutional
processes
that
led
to
racially
disparate
outcomes.
That
recommendation
included
a
call
for
both
the
city
and
the
county
to
conduct
an
official
audit
to
ensure
compliance
with
federal
and
state
laws.
Regulatory
bodies,
codes
of
conduct,
court
orders,
consent,
decrees,
confirming
that
no
further
harms
the
African
group
that
American
Community
would
be
today.
Our
City
County
Commission,
as
I
already
mentioned,
will
consider
adoption
of
a
resolution
authorizing
staff
to
develop
a
scope
of
work.
M
Work
prior
to
bringing
it
forward
to
city,
council
and
County
commission
for
their
consideration
upon
approval
of
that
resolution
to
become
city
and
county
staff
are
going
to
work
with
the
community
reparations
commission,
as
well
as
with
our
project
manager,
stability
localized,
to
develop
that
scope
of
work,
which
will
then
be
used
in
turn
to
advertise
and
select
a
firm
and
then
review
and
prioritize
those
navigation
opportunities
that
are
identified
in
the
audit.
The
scope
of
work,
audit,
firm
selection
process
and
review
and
prioritization
of
those
opportunities
will
be.
M
More
importantly,
to
make
sure
that
we're
incorporating
your
feedback
throughout
the
process
as
we
go
so
just
a
really
quick
reminder.
I
know:
we've
had
holidays
since
your
last
operations,
commission
meeting
at
your
December
5th
meeting
your
immediate
recommendation
to
the
city
and
county
included,
providing
assurance
and
taking
effective
measures
to
end
ongoing
and
current
harms
due
to
intentional
and
unintentional
policies,
programs,
practices
and
procedures
and.
M
On
here
is
just
a
summarization
of
that
immediate
recommendation
that
you
adopted
back
in
December.
As
I
already
mentioned,
it
called
for
the
city
and
county
to
conduct
an
audit
to
ensure
compliance
with
federal
and
state
laws,
regulatory
bodies,
codes
of
conduct,
court
orders
and
consent.
Decrees,
and
the
audit
will
demonstrate
that
the.
M
The
immediate
recommendation
also
recommended
that
the
city
and
county
promote
and
enforce
codes
of
conduct
and
ethical
norms
and
take
ongoing
measures
to
Foster
confidence,
building
between
government
and
African
Americans,
true
seeking
mechanisms
and
processes,
as
well
as
timely
accountability
of
the
dispensation
of
recommendations,
so
quick
overview
of
that
draft
resolution
and
to
make
sure
you're
looking
at
the
most
updated
version,
we
got
some
feedback
from
Dr
Mullen
on
Friday.
It's
the
version.
M
That's
got
some
red
text
at
the
bottom,
just
if
you're
looking
through
your
papers
and
want
to
know
which
version
is
the
most
current.
But
the
draft
resolution,
as
we
are
currently
planning
to
bring
to
the
city,
council
and
bunco
County
commission
for
consideration
first
describes
some
of
the
Preamble
the
vote
that
was
taken
by
the
community
reparations
commission
at
your
December
5th
meeting.
Approving
that
immediate
recommendation
summarizes
the
call
to
conduct
an
official
audit
to
ensure
compliance
with
federal
and
state
laws,
as
well
as
other
codes
of
conduct
and
court
orders.
M
M
To
make
sure
that
that
scope
of
work,
what
it
is
that
we're
advertising
for
meets
the
spirit
of
what
was
included
in
the
immediate
recommendation
prior
to
advertising
that
and
ultimately
selecting
a
firm
and
then
upon
audit
completion.
An
important
part
of
this
resolution
is
that
it
commits
to
reviewing
and
prioritizing
those
audit
findings
to
remediate
the
perpetuation
of
further
harms.
M
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
you
these
recommendations
and
getting
your
reaction
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
you
approve
that
immediate
recommendation
at
your
last
meeting
of
coursework
here
this
evening
to
seek
your
feedback
unless
you
know
that
we've
drafted
this
resolution
and
then
January
17th
is
a
big
day
on
the
17th.
M
The
city
council's
new
equity
and
engagement
committee
is
going
to
receive
a
briefing
on
the
contents
of
the
draft
resolution
that
evening
the
Buncombe
County
Commission
is
also
going
to
receive
a
briefing
on
the
contents
of
the
draft
resolution
and
feedback
will
be
provided
then
at
the
January
24
city
council
meeting,
the
city
council
will
consider
adoption
of
the
draft
resolution
followed
by
the
Buncombe
County
Commission,
considering
adoption
at
their
February
7th
meeting.
So
by
the
time
we
come
back
to
you
as
your
February
20th
meeting.
M
Chair,
hopefully,
being
able
to
incorporate
feedback
from
all
of
you
on
a
proposed
draft
scope
of
work
for
this
audit
firm,
and
so
we
plan
to
come
back
to
you
at
your
February
20th
meeting
with
that
draft
scope
of
work
for
you
to
provide
feedback
to
us
at
that
time.
And
then
we
hope
by
your
March
20th
meeting
to
be
able
to
finalize
that
scope
of
work
with
you
and
as
soon
as
we're
able
to
finalize
that
scope
of
work,
then
we'll
be
able
to
finalize
the
corresponding
solicitation
to
ultimately
select
that
firm.
M
Who
will
then
conduct
the
audit.
So
our
hope
is
that
we'll
be
able
to
finalize
that
solicitation
advertise
the
solicitation
and
select
a
firm
this
spring
with
the
audit
being
conducted
and
completed
this
summer
and
then
we'll
have
that
ongoing.
We're
hopeful
to
have
the
regular
monthly
recurring
standing
agenda.
M
M
Of
work,
that's
a
detailed
description
of
the
work
milestones
and
timeline
necessary
to
fully
complete
the
recommended
audit
and
to
us.
This
is
the
most
important
part
because,
like
I
said
earlier,
we
want
to
make
sure
from
the
city
side
and
the
county
side
that
the
solicitation
that's
advertised
is
for
the
correct
type
of
firm,
doing
the
correct
type
of
work
to
ensure
that
we
are
responding
accordingly.
To
that
immediate
recommendation
that
you
approved
in
December
and
when
I
say
solicitation.
M
M
M
Vendor
so
that
will
be
a
detailed
overview
of
the
firm's
key
findings
from
their
assessment
of
both
the
city
and
the
county,
to
include
detailed
recommendations
on
policy
and
operational
revisions
needed
to
ensure
the
cessation
of
further
harm.
And
then,
when
we
say
evaluation
and
prioritization.
That
again
is
is
from
the
city
and
County's
purview.
The.
M
And
that
is
where
we'll
be
working
with
use
to
review
those
signings
from
the
audit
report,
prioritize
opportunities
to
ensure
the
cessation
of
prevention
and
form
and
future
harm.
So
that's
where
we'll
be
working
with
this
group,
as
well
as
the
impact
Focus
areas
and
then
audit
resources.
This
was
a
question
that
came
up
when
we
met
with
the
chair
on
Friday.
M
The
current
plan
on
the
city
and
county
side
is
to
fund
the
the
payment
to
the
audit
firm,
the
vendor
that
is
selected
from
previously
approved
city
and
county
reparations
resources,
and
until
we
get
that
scope
of
work
defined
and
until
we
advertise,
we
won't
be
able
to
say
specifically
what
that
dollar
value
would
be
at
this
time,
and
so
that
concludes
the
brief
overview.
This
is
just
repeating
the
key
takeaways.
A
M
I
already
went
through,
but
we
are
very
interested
from
the
city
and
county
side
to
find
out
what
feedback
you
have
on
the
draft
resolution
and,
most
importantly,
make
sure
that
this
body
is
comfortable
with
us.
Bringing
forward
the
resolution
as
proposed
for
the
city
council,
as
well
as
the
Buncombe
County
Commission
consideration.
M
N
N
So
I
had
another
thing:
I
want
to
say:
there's
a
lot
of
initiatives
of
justice
for
you,
the
inflation
reduction
act,
this
federal
policy
initiatives
right
now
that
would
give
momentum
to
our
work
that
we're
doing
right
here
in
our
community
and
I
think
being
able
to
connect
those
existing
policy
initiatives
even
with
the
state
state
DOT,
the
state
did
their
disparity
study
about
a
year
ago.
So
how
do
we
connect
them
to
those
existing
policy
as
some
of
those
as
it's
reparations
commission
to
address.
M
Some
of
these
much
needed
needs
like
right
now.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
absolutely
and
well-made
comments
in
terms
of
developing
the
response.
I
totally
understand
what
you're
saying
there
is
a
lot
of
work.
That's
going
on.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
incorporate
that
as
we're
looking
at
the
findings.
M
This
is
about
as
quickly
as
the
city
and
county
could
get
mobilized
in
terms
of
getting
the
city
council
and
County
Commission
authorization,
but
that
by
no
means
means
that
City
staff
and
County
staff
can't
continue
working
with
this
group
working
with
state,
federal
and
other
local
groups
to
make
sure
that,
as
this
group
is
making
recommendations
that
we're
not
missing
opportunities
in
the
meantime,
so
I
don't
think
that
they're,
mutually
exclusive
and
I
think
we
just
need
to
be
really
mindful
of
staying
up
to
date
on
progress.
N
A
N
Say:
justice
for
the
initiative
they
have
specifically
targeted,
neighborhoods
who's
been
wrongly
harmed
in
the
past
and
I.
Don't
see
a
collective
Consciousness
on
how
we
can
build
off
of
that
based
on
the
work
that
we're
doing
here
and
I.
Think
that's
just
one
example
that
I
can
think
of
of
the
top
of
my
head.
That
I
think
more
energy
should
be
shown
should
be
given
to
the
moment.
That's
already
happening
in
around
the
country
around
trying
to
protect
these
African-American
communities.
C
C
Just
wonder
why
we
are
the
recommendation
as
it
was
written,
and
now
we
have
a
resolution
like
what
was
the
change
and
like
what
was
the
purpose
like
that?
We
every
time
we
make
a
recommendation,
is
it
they'll
become
a
resolution
like
I
just
want
to
understand
process
of
how
it's
going
to
work
moving
forward,
since
this
is
really
our
first
one?
Well
next
was
my
second
one
and
the
first
one
wasn't
a
resolution
of
the
state.
M
And
I'll
start
and
please
let
me
know
if
I'm
not
responding
accordingly,
so
for
for
staff
on
the
city
and
county
side.
Reviewing
that
immediate
recommendation,
what
we
view
is
that
first
step
was
the
audit.
Of
course,
the
city
and
county
are
making
commitments
to
cease
further
harm.
Where
we're
currently
aware,
the
intent
of
the
audit
is
to
help
us
identify
those
areas
that
we
may
not
be
aware
of
already
so
to
us.
M
That
was
an
important
first
step,
and
so
this
resolution,
with
us
operating
under
a
council
manager
form
of
government,
is
the
city
council
directing
the
city
manager
to
then
direct
staff
to
perform
this
work.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
that
direction
from
our
elected
bodies
in
response
to
the
immediate
recommendation
that
was
adopted
on
December
5th
and
you're
absolutely
correct,
so
your
recommendation
included
other
components
and
those
are
including
those
three
bottom
bullets.
M
The
confidence
building,
true
seeking,
as
well
as
timely
accountability
and
those
are
actually
at
the
recommendation
of
Dr
Mullen,
have
been
added
to
the
resolution
and
not
something
to
your
point
that
we
do
need
to
do
a
better
job.
At
Future
reparations
commissions
coming
back
and
explaining
how
it
is
that
we're
doing
those
things
is
that
something
that
we
can
certainly
commit
to
doing
at
a
future
reparations
commission?
K
Will
there
be
a
performance,
audit
and
a
financial
audit,
or
is
this
just
a
general
term
given?
Why
aren't
they
specified
that
way
and
as
follow-up
to
that
in
the
scope
of
work
with
it
pretty
much
aligned
with
the
way
that
An
Inspector
General,
if
he
were
to
come
here
to
Asheville,
to
review
the
federal
dollars
that
obtained
at
the
local
Coffer
the
the
kinds
of
items
that
they
would
look
for
as
far
as
disparity
goes
and
proven
discrimination?
K
M
Well,
we
haven't
started
drafting
the
scope
of
work
yet,
but
we
will
certainly
look
at
performance
as
well
as
Financial
components
and
that
draft
scope
of
work
that
we
bring
forward
to
you
at
your
next
meeting
for
your
feedback.
We'll
certainly
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
incorporating
any
any
type
of
audit
or
any
type
of
review
that
you
would
want
to
have
included
in
the
work
that's
performed
by
the
vendor.
That's
ultimately
selected.
O
Just
just
to
double
back
to
what
Dwayne
was
asking
a
minute
ago,
we
kind
of
went
through
various
things
after
he
asked
the
question,
but
are
the
actions
that
we
can
take
to
protect
those
communities,
those
properties,
those
things
that
are,
as
he's
asked,
immediately
at
risk
right
now?
Are
there
actions
that
we
can
take
or
ways
that
we
can
legally
protect
that
or
or
create
stoppages
of
things?
I?
Don't
I,
don't
really
even
know
how
to
ask
the
question,
but
are
there
ways
that
we
can
address
in
the
immediate?
O
M
Ly
so
the
I-26,
Aesthetics
and
betterments
work
is
some
a
great
example
of
our
project,
where
we
could
be
bringing
to
you
updates
on
where
we
are
with
that
project
and
seeking
feedback
from
this
body.
So
that's
something
that
we
can
certainly
work
towards
is
making
sure
this
group
is
more
aware
of
some
of
that
work
that
we
have
going
on.
That
has
either
direct
or
indirect
ties
to
the
working
operations.
C
It
is
also
recommended
that
the
assurances
be
given
the
effective
measures
are
taken
in
continuing
violations
of
access
to
equity
and
Education
Health
and
Wellness
housing,
Economic,
Development
and
Justice,
and
so
like
what
Dwayne
is
speaking
to
is
both
housing
and
economic
development
opportunity,
which
is
a
part
of
the
resolution.
That's
not
included
in
this
recommendation
overview,
and
so
that's
the
part
that
I
was
trying
to
figure
out.
C
I
had
to
find
it
so
I
can
make
sure
I
went
and
my
mind
wasn't
food
and
that's
the
part
that
we
want
to
maintain
so
like
if
current
harms
this
project
and
love
and
communities
that
are
either
Legacy
communities
or
public
housing
developments
that
minimize
beautification
or
not,
that
negatively
impact
black
people.
C
That's
a
part
of
the
recommendation
is
minimizing
that
so,
as
we
think
about
beautification
and
those
type
of
reports,
how
we
do
we
get
reports
on
how
they
plan
to
minimize
the
harm,
the
furtherance
of
harm
to
black
people,
which
is
a
part
of
the
recommendation
and
I.
Think
that,
like
that's
the
stuff,
that's
happening
right
now
outside
of
the
island,
this
is
something
we
know
is
happening
outside
of
our
John
need
an
audit
for
that
project.
C
You
see
what
I'm
saying
this
is
an
actual
thing
happening
and
has
been
happening
and
talked
about
for
years
actually,
and
so,
how
do
we
figure
out
how
this
applies
to
that?
Because
I
don't
want
the
recommendation
to
be
watered
down
to
the
point
that
oh,
it
was
just
about
an
audience.
We
got
the
audit
and
you
know
what
I
mean
like
no,
it
was
about
more
than
that.
It's
like
we're
doing
this
work
and
for
people
who
live
in
those
communities.
C
You
know
what
I
mean,
like
that's
a
part
of
minimizing
the
harm,
and
so
I
would
definitely
want
to
see
this
included
in
the
resolution
in
this
fullness
not
work
down,
whereas
the
recommendation
is
so
that
we
can
really
be
intentional
about
the
outcomes
and
expectations,
just
as
you
want
to
be
back.
So
that's
my
feedback.
M
Sure,
and
if
that's
the
direction
of
the
commission,
we
can
certainly
revise
the
resolution.
That's
the
reason
we're
here
tonight
is:
we
want
to
get
feedback
from
you,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
the
language
and
the
resolution
more
closely
mirrors
the
language
that
was
included
in
the
immediate
recommendation
is
adopted
on
December
5th.
We
can
definitely
do
that
and
then
we'll
need
to
work
through
how
to
your
point.
We
bring
back
that
information
and
have
those
intentional
conversations
with
this
group,
as
well
as
the
impact
Focus
areas.
A
O
Way
that
we
could
connect
with
DOT
or
with
the
city
or
the
county
to
be
more
aware
of
what
they're
planning
to
do
in
in
the
future,
I'm
sure
that's
Community,
Community
knowledge,
if
you
will,
but
if,
if
they
could
do
presentations
to
say
well,
we
have
plans
to
work
in
in
this
sector,
and
this
highway
is
coming
here
and
we
we
want
to
do
this
here
if
we
could
connect
with
more
of
those
departments
and
have
them
speak
directly
to
us
that
could
probably
cut
through
some
of
the
some
some
of
the
lag
if
you
will
and
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
versus
what
they're
trying
to
move
forward
before
we
can
before
we
can
have
some
say
within
it.
G
I
would
just
add
one
thing
just
to
you
know,
wrap
this
conversation,
but
that's
a
that's
a
great
point
that
you
bring
up
about
learning
more
about
city
and
county
Capital
plans.
What's
already
in
the
pipeline
is,
what's
going
to
be
happening
and
I'm
sure
you
know
folks,
like
Dwayne
Richardson
already
know
like
what's
going
on,
and
these
are
the
conversations
that
are
going
to
be
happening
in
your
ifas
and
that
are
already
happening
in
your
audience
and
the
thing
that
I
really
wanted
to
sort
of
land
on
is
later
in
the
agenda.
G
We
have
a
conversation
about
the
proposal,
template
and
some
guiding
questions.
That's
going
to
help
you
get
those
ideas
out
on
paper,
so
we
can
continue
to
bring
those
ideas
to
this
body
and
get
them.
You
know
get
them
passed,
and
my
hope
is
that
the
city
and
county
will
be
just
as
responsive
as
they
have
been
with
this
initial
recommendation,
with
these
other
recommendations
that
we
continue
to
bring
forward.
A
M
Close
back
out
the
recommended
revisions
that
we've
got
from
the
vice
chair,
we'll
email,
an
updated
version
of
the
draft
resolution
to
members
of
this
commission
for
any
final
feedback
that
you
have
just
to
make
sure.
We've
Incorporated
that
accordingly,
prior
to
city
council,
as
well
as
County,
Commission
consideration,
they'll
be
briefed
on
it
next
week
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
month
in
early
February
is
when
those
votes
will
be
taken.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we've
got
your
feedback
Incorporated
accordingly.
Prior
to
those
that
is
occurring.
B
And
I
would
appreciate
it
if
you
send
other
comments
to
me
directly,
so
that
I
can
include
it.
In
my
comments
to
city
council
and
the
County
Commission
on
the
17th
I'd
appreciate
that
to
be
very
Frank
with
you
when
this
was
drafted,
what
I
had
in
mind
was
losing
another
class
through
the
Asheville
City
Schools,
as
we
talked
about
that.
That's
what
I
was
thinking.
B
We
have
a
presentation,
we
have
a
presentation
from
zedix
social
justice
fund.
Please.
P
For
someone
to
say
hello
and
what
an
honor
it
is
to
be
in
front
of
this
historic
commission
I've
been
watching
y'all
online,
and
so
the
idea
of
being
here
with
you
in
person
is
just
amazing.
P
J
P
Also
in
terms
of
our
work
as
a
fiscal
sponsor
of
the
reparations
stakeholder
authority
of
Asheville,
the
rsaa,
so
zetic
is
a
private
Foundation.
We
just
redistribute
money,
power
and
resources
to
support
systems,
change
and
Community
healing
in
Asheville
North
Carolina,
particularly
in
the
areas
of
racial
Justice,
lgbtq,
plus
Justice
and
dismantling
anti-Semitism.
Most
folks
in
community
actually
know
about
us
from
our
Brilliance
award
words
and
our
impact
of
work
programs.
P
That's
a
program
where
we
do
grants
to
individuals
of
three
thousand
dollars,
and
fifty
thousand
dollar
amounts
no
strings
attached
grants
that
go
to
local
social
justice
leaders
here
in
Asheville,
since
we
started
that
program
in
2018,
we've
dispersed
already
1.1
million
dollars
to
approximately
200
individuals,
over
70
percent
of
whom
are
people
of
color.
Predominantly
black.
P
So
it's
amazing
to
be
here
with
you
so
to
share
a
little
bit
about
the
reparation
stakeholder
authority
of
Asheville.
P
We
were
approached
by
Community
Leaders,
with
the
idea
of
starting
a
private
fund
at
holding
it
at
the
zetic
social
justice
fund,
and
the
goal
of
that
private
reparations
fund
is
to
collect
funds
from
private
institutions,
predominantly
white
institutions,
individuals
and
families.
That
know
already
that
they
have
Financial
benefit
from
the
slave
trade,
from
systemic
racism
against
black
folks.
In
our.
P
To
just
use
our
really
our
relational
Capital,
our
social
capital
as
a
fund,
and
also
just
our
financial
infrastructure,
to
hold
those
funds,
while
the
city,
while
our
black
communities,
determine
what
needs
to
happen
with
those
funds,
and
we,
you
know,
as
part
of
that
conversation
we
reached
out
to
folks.
P
Movements
across
the
country
specifically
spoke
to
Robin
Rue
Simmons
who's,
the
major
Evanston
alderwoman,
who
was
involved
in
pushing
a
reparations
legislation
out
in
Evanston
Illinois
and
one
of
the,
and
we
also
spoke
to
Seoul
Anderson,
who
was
actually
the
CEO
of
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation,
who
holds
the
Edison's
version
of
the
reparations
stakeholder,
Authority
and
part
of
the
reason
we
reached
out
to
do
this
research.
Is
my
community
leaders
reached
out
to
us?
P
Our
first
thought
was:
how
do
we
make
sure
we
don't
replicate
the
efforts
that
are
already
happening
in
our
city?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
walking
in
a
way
that's
not
ticking
away
from
the
important
historic
work?
That's
happening
here,
but
that's
actually
a
compliment
to
what's
already
happening,
and
when
we
spoke
to
both
leaders
here
locally
leaders
from
Evanston
folks
Across,
the
Nation.
What
became
really
clear
is
they
realized
that
the
work
of
reparations
goes
far
beyond
what
can
happen
within
a
municipality?
P
A
like
a
commissioner
Williams
actually
mentioned
a
little
bit
earlier
today.
Is
the
importance
of
recognize
that
reparations
can
sometimes
go
beyond
a
city,
government
or
County
governments
bandwidth
and
that's
what
they
saw
actually
happening
in
Evanston,
and
they
realized
that
what
they
needed,
in
addition
to
a
city's
process,
was
a
501c3
structure
to
be
able
to
hold
some
of
the
work
that
might
not
be
able
to
happen
within
the
city
structure.
And
so
we
are
moving
forward
with
or
have
moved
forward
with,
establishing
this
reparation
stakeholder
authority.
A
P
Asheville
here
for
our
our
community,
the
goal
primarily
is
to
pull
together
a
membership-based
organization
that
helps
to
determine
where
these
private
dollars
that
that
we've
just
been
holding
should
go
and
how
they
should
be
used
to
support
the
respirations
efforts
and
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Libby.
To
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
what
the
structure
of
that
rsaa
is.
R
So
the
RSA
is
a
democratic
membership
based
organization
and
while
Zenith
is
the
fiscal
sponsor,
the
rsaa
is
its
own
entity.
It's
one
person,
one
vote,
so
no
one
person
represents
a
group
of
people.
Each
individual
has
their
own
vote
to
cast
each
individual
represents
themselves
and
not
any
other
organization.
Rsaa
stakeholder
membership
is
open
to
all
black
Buncombe
County
residents,
ages,
18
or
older,
regardless
of
housing
or
incarceration
status.
Right
now
we
are
led
by
a
steering
committee
that
includes
myself.
R
Sorry,
Libby
and
Marsha
Rob,
Keith
and
Titus
Ruffin
is
joining
us
soon.
Our
current
initiatives
are
private
reparations
funds,
Community
Education,
collaborating
with
RJC
and
black
Asheville
demands
and
then
designing
and
implementing
a
comprehensive
Truth
and
Reconciliation
process
similar
to
The
One
LED
in
Greensboro
to
heal
the
harms
of
the
1979
Massacre
funds
raised
as
far
as
241
615
from
43
donors.
Since
January
1st
of
2022
in
our
South
launch
in
informal
conversations
with
local
white-led.
R
We
continue
to
fundraise.
We
also
invite
our
philanthropic
organizations
to
join
us
had
our
first
public
event
in
November.
We
did
wakanda
forever
I
hope
I
did
see
some
of
you.
At
that
event,
we
were
able
to
host
155
people,
we
were
at
Regal
Cinemas
and
we
showed
two
showings
of
Black
Panther
and
it
was
a
really
great
event
and
it
introduced
lots
of
people
to
the
rsaa.
P
So
here's
what's
next,
we
are
in
the
process
of
hiring
our
first
full-time
staff,
member
someone
who's
going
to
be
based
in
Asheville
black
person
to
lead
these
efforts
to
make
sure
that
the
rsaa
is
a
separate
entity
from
the
zetic
social
justice
fund.
P
The
person
who
was
currently
hired
is
for
medical
reasons,
can
no
longer
join
our
team.
So
we're
really
happy
to
have
this
moment
to
to
share
about
the
work
of
the
rsaa
here
in
this
space
and
also
let
you
know
that
that
hiring
is
going
on
so
feel
free
to
take
a
look
at
that
job
description.
P
We're
going
to
do
a
widespread
recruitment
as
well
for
the
rsaa,
the
idea
of
making
sure
that
each
black
person
in
Buncombe
County
and
the
City
of
Asheville
knows
about
this
initiative
and
specifically
we're
working
with
wres
to
to
launch
a
programming,
starting
in
February
speaking
about
the
work
of
the
rsaa,
and
also
to
do
some.
P
Some
you
know
Community
Education,
about
what
reparations
is
beyond
what's
happening
in
Asheville
as
most
of
y'all
know,
reparations
efforts
and
organizers
and
activists
and
plans
have
been
coming
out
since
1865.,
since
the
black
folks
have
been
since
the
abolition
of
slavery
in
1865
in
our
country.
It's
a
very
long
movement
history,
they're
very
long,
very
many
details
about
it.
Also
the
UN
has
regulations
regarding
reparations,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
doing
our
part
and
sharing
just
the
information
about
what
reparations
is
in
general.
P
But
of
course
not
interacting
or
stepping
over
the
work
of
the
commission
and
speaking
for
you
know
we're
not
taking
the
role
of
speaking
for
what's
happening.
The
specific
Mission.
R
Not
just
not
taking
over,
but
also
making
sure
that
we
position
ourselves
in
a
way
that
we
are
supporting,
so
we
don't
want
to.
We
want
us.
We
want
us
to
be
safe
as
partners
in
doing
this
work,
because
we
recognize
that
what
is
typical
in
Nashville
is
that
we
get
this
narrative.
That
says
we
can't
work
together
and
we
can-
and
so
I
really
appreciate
what
you
said
earlier:
Dr
Mullen
as
you
referenced
Dr
King,
and
then
your
Elder
said
yes,
we
can
no,
we
can't
over.
Well,
yes,
we
can
yes.
P
That's
all
right
and
she's
speaking
a
little
bit
to
what
our
next
steps
are
for
the
the
rsaa.
It's
really
collaboration
with
other
black
LED
organizations,
including
this
commission,
to
kind
of
continue
to
move
the
work
forward
and
to
continue
to
start
doing
some
reparations
campaigning
with
predominantly
white
communities.
P
Here
in
Asheville,
we
know,
and
we've
been
approached
by
white
LED
churches
who
have
reparations
funds
that
they've
been
holding
on
to
and
not
quite
knowing
where,
where
to
go
with
that,
we
think
it's
really
important
that
that
really
those
white
LED
institutions
are
not
making
decisions
on
their
own
about
what
to
do
with
those
dollars.
P
The
decisions
about
how
those
dollars
are
being
spent
is
in
the
hands
of
you,
know:
residents
and
black
residents
in
Buncombe,
County,
National,
City,
and
so
we're
going
to
take
the
role
of
organizing
private
dollars
in
that
sense,
and
we
just
encourage
you
to
continue
learning
about
our
work
through
our
website
rsaashville.org
and
we're
happy
to
field
any
questions
you
might
have.
J
N
P
This
support
yeah,
so
the
first,
the
first
work
that
we're
doing
is
actually
not
making
determinations
yet
of
what
work
we're
supporting
with
the
money
we're
just
holding
it.
What
we're
really
focusing
on
this
year
is
building
the
system
so
that
every
member
every
resident
black
resident
of
our
area
can.
P
Member
and
become
part
of
voting,
what
those
things
will
voting
on,
why
those
efforts
will
be
and,
to
be
honest,
we're
timing
that,
because
we
don't
want
to
step
on
the
heels
of
the
commission
right,
so
we're
timing
it
so
that
we're
hoping
we
are
here,
just
building
infrastructure,
Building
Systems,
you
all
can
make
recommendations
and
then
what
we're
assuming
is
once
we
have
a
full
critical
mass
of
black
residents.
P
We
can
do
is
share
and
say
hey
the
city.
Reparations
commission
has
already
made
these
wonderful
recommendations
among
those.
Would
you
like
some
of
the
money
to
go
to
that
or
is
there
something
else
that
you'd
like
to
go
to
so
essentially
we're
trying
to
be
very
intentional
about
we're?
Not
the
ones
quitting
leads
about
the
recommendations
in
front
of
people.
What
we're
doing
is
just
building
a
system,
so
people
can
consistently
be
informed
decision.
A
A
O
Much
they're
way,
potentially
of
time
back
to
a
question
that
was
brought
up
earlier,
is
there
a
way
that
the
funding
that
you
guys
have
that
could
be
directed
towards
some
of
the
things
that
we're
concerned
about
that
are
happening
in
the
immediate
time
frame
that
that
could
could
maybe
be
used
to
to
address
some
of
those
concerns
or
Stave
off
some
of
the
the
things
that
are
being
taken
away,
slow
down,
some
of
the
harms
is
there
a
way
that
that
could
be
coordinated,
yeah.
P
P
Is
yes,
there's
a
way
and
the
longer
answer
is
it's
really
important?
That
was
a
force
and
foremost
that
this
is
a
democratic
organization.
It's
membership
base
right,
so
I
can't
say
in
the
steering
committee
can't
say
can't
make
decisions
about
where
these
dollars
go
other
than
what
we
already
know.
We
need
for
operational
expenses
to
pay
for
a
staff
member
to
do
the
work
that
we
say
we're
going
to
do
the
really
what
it
comes
down
to
is
what
the
members
of
the
organization
want
to
do
so
as
we
collect
stakeholder
member.
P
The
best
that
we
can
do
is
share
what
the
work
of
the
commission
is
and
and
invite
conversations
in
as
much
as
possible
between
the
commission
and
the
rsaa,
and
so
far
again
you
have
to
I
guess
you'd
have
to
you
know
check
in
with
your
legal
legal
counsel,
but
from
you
know,
the
rsaas
positioning.
P
P
Don't
overstate
what
this
organization
is
going
to
do
because
the
Democratic
piece
of
this,
the
black
power
building
part
of
this
is
really
critical.
So
I
don't
want
to
step
out
ahead
of
anything
that
our
community
might
say
they
wanted
to.
L
G
Sure
so
before
we
move
into
our
next
item,
do
we
have
just
a
consensus
to
take
a
quick
break
I'm.
H
C
As
we
get
started,
it
is
on
the
discussion
with
Christine
Edwards.
G
Thank
you
so
much
I'm
not
going
to
be
in
front
of
you
all
for
too
long
with
these
presentations
and
discussions,
but
again
just
to
remind
you
of
Christine
Edwards
I'm.
The
new
project
manager
for
the
community.
Reparations
commission
and
I
wanted
to
just
talk
to
you
about
onboarding
and
transitioning
to
this
relationship
in
a
positive
way
and
what
that
means
is
obviously.
G
Does
receive
a
stipend
based
on
attendance
and
participation,
and
so
we
do
have
to
enter
into
a
new
agreement
to
work
together,
as
I
have
already
done
so
with
the
IFA
facilitator.
With
that
said,
I
just
want
to
kind
of
put
it
in
the
record
and
I
would
say
to
you
or
an
email
from
me
about
onboarding
into
this.
G
You
know
with
civility
localized,
which
is
my
company,
so
that
we
can
enter
into
an
agreement
together,
so
that
I
can
make
sure
that
you
all
achieve
your
stipends
for
the
folks
that
are
wanting
to
achieve
those,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
it
is
a
smooth
transition
moving
forward.
So
today
we
do
pay
attention
to
your
emails
over
the
next
couple
of
days.
I
will
send
you
a
link,
it's
more
than
likely
going
to
ask
you
to
confirm
your
mailing
address
and
ask
you
to
confirm
kind
of
the.
G
Competitives
reviewing
the
new
and
recommendations
proposal
template
so
as
I
talked
about.
I.
Just
hope
that
these,
what
we're
offering
are
going
to
be
guiding
questions
and
structure
for
you
all
to
use
in
your
IFA
team
meetings
to
develop
your
recommendations
and
also
I'm
going
to
be
presenting
a
new
suggested
timeline
for
the
duration
of
this
project
through
2023,
and
this
has
not
been
approved.
This
has
been
presented
in
front
of
the
city
and
county.
This
has
also
been
presented
to
your
chair
co-chair.
G
However,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
all
approve
this
process
as
a
group
all
right.
So
the
contents
of
the
first
presentation
it
includes
the
role
of
the
commission
talking
about
I,
say
engagement
structure,
which
you
all
are
already
familiar
with.
I'll
talk
about
the
recommendations,
development,
template,
I'll,
talk
about
the
2023
timeline
and
then,
of
course,
it
changes
and
some
considerations
that
I
want
to
either
discuss
today
or
you
can
take
some
time
to
think
about
it
and
email.
You
need
your
thoughts
or
call
me
with
your
thoughts.
G
Will
follow
along
so
this
again
is
the
role
of
the
commission.
G
We
always
like
to
make
sure
we're
reminding
folks
of
where
we
started
and
where
we're
at
so
our
key
deliverable
at
the
end
of
this
process
is
a
slate
of
fully
formed
recommendations
passed
by
majority
vote
by
the
commission
to
be
presented
as
resolutions
or
policy
recommendations
to
dispute
Asheville
in
Bozeman
County
in
a
timely
manner,
so
IFA
engagement
structure,
you
all,
are
familiar
with
this
structure,
so
the
the
way
that
this
group
has
decided
or
the
way
that
this
group
has
come
together,
is
that
there
are
in
Impact
Focus
areas
right.
G
So
you
all
are
coming
together,
you're
discussing
in
deep
conversation
under
one
particular
topic,
whether
it's
housing,
Economic
Development,
Health
Etc.
You
all
are
charged
with
completing
that
research
and
submitting
the
data
requests
into
one
of
the
organizations.
You're
utilizing
those
tools
that
are
available
too,
to
capture
that
input
and
you're
having
these
conversations
at
a
monthly
level
and
on
a
monthly
basis
and
again,
the
deliverable
for
your
IFA
is
a
list
of
development
recommendations
that.
G
Based
on
your
particular
post
area
and
some
of
the
suggestions
that
I'm
going
to
offer
come
from
my
experience,
working
in
communities
and
my
experience,
working
with,
for
example,
participatory
budgeting.
So
when
we
talk
about
sort
of
the
the
common
definition
of
preparations,
there
are
different
ways
to
to
look
at
it.
On
a
community
level,
for
example,
you
can
have
a
community
racial
Justice
model
which
is
similar
to
the
ISA
structure.
You
also
have
what's
called
Equity
Investments
or
equity-based
budgeting,
so
some
of
these
concepts
are
also
adopted
from
there.
G
The
presentation
you'll
have
template,
also
called
recommendations,
development
template
and
it's
going
to
be
really
important
that
you
start
documenting
these
ideas,
not
that
you
already
aren't
but
I'm
sure
that,
in
your
ifas
and
in
my
conversations
with
the
IFA
leads
it's
clear
to
me
that
you're
documenting
these
ideas,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
them
into
a
standard
format,
so
we
can
start
to
bring
them
to
this
group
regularly
so
number
one.
You
want
to
make
sure
and
then
this
document
here
it's
something
that's
a
little
bit
more
shareable.
G
You
can
download,
you
can
write
on
it,
you
can.
We
also
have
it
as
a
Google
doc,
that's
going
to
be
shareable
across
the
groups.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
every
time
you
talk
about
a
particular
recommendation
or
an
idea
you're
giving
it
an
identifying
number.
Maybe
it's
number
one
IFA
education
number
one!
You
give
it
a
name
right
name
in
that
program.
Describe
it
in
detail,
describe
who
it
will
serve
and
for
what
duration
is
it
location
based?
Is
it
based
in
Buffalo
county?
Is
it?
G
Is
it
not
location
based-
and
this
is
the
important
part
that
I
didn't
want
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
lose
was
talking
about
the
harm
that's
being
addressed?
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
connect
these
recommendations
back
to
the
harmful
policy
or
action,
that's
being
addressed
by
passing
this
recommendation
program
or
initiative.
G
A
G
It
have
an
impact
on
a
small
group
of
people,
a
small
organization,
a
neighborhood,
or
is
it
going
to
have
a
wider
impact
on
all
of
Buncombe,
County
or
all
of
Asheville
right
and
at
this
point,
we're
not
we're
not
assigning
priority,
we're
not
assigning
priority
level
or
importance
level.
At
this
point,
we
are
just
being
very
specific
about
the
programs
and
projects
that
we
want
to
see
as
and
potentially
funded
impact
level
again.
G
G
G
That
is
one
thing
that
we
used
when
I
was
Consulting
with
Mecklenburg.
G
You
know
a
lot
of
times.
This
is
just
anecdotal
a
lot
of
times.
County
governments
are
a
little
bit
more
wary
of
of
what
they
can.
You
know
really
allocate
dollars
to
because
they
have
state
mandated
funding,
so
they
want
to
know
that
these
projects
have
been
done
in
other
areas.
So.
G
Where
has
it
been
successful
so
make
sure
you
provide
a
link
of
that
or
name
of
a
program
corresponding
data
resource
list
that
data
resource
that
you
either
have
access
to
to
provide
or
that
data
resource
that
you
need
access
to
in
order
to
complete
the
recommendation,
and
we
will
work
to
provide
that
data
resource
all
right.
This
next
section
is
we
recommend
that
this
is
completed
by
city
and
county
staff,
because
these
decisions
are
really
made
at
that
level
in
terms
of
deciding
whether
the
recommendation
is
a
policy.
Is
it
a
program?
G
Is
it
a
one-time
project,
or
is
it
a
partnership
and
also
the
cost?
So
we
don't
want
IFA
groups
and
I
say
we.
This
is.
These
are
just
my
ideas
and
recommendations
and
suggestions.
I,
don't
want
IFA
groups
to
get
too
caught
up
on
that
cost
right,
estimating
the
dollar
amount.
Obviously,
if
you
are
knowledgeable
about
that
dollar
amount,
we
want
to
know
we
would
love
to
know
a
range,
but
we
don't
want
you
all
to
get
sort
of
caught
up
on
that.
G
We
want
you
to
be
able
to
submit
as
many
ideas
as
possible
that
can
be
reviewed
at
the
commission
level
and
then,
of
course,
feasibility
level.
So
again,
because
this
process
does
work
in
partnership
with
government
or
with
municipalities.
For
some
of
these
recommendations,
we
do
think
that
it
would
be
up
to
that
governing
body
to
really
decide
on
a
feasibility.
J
G
G
A
K
K
We
don't
deal
with
money,
you
don't
know
how
to
deal
with
it
either
and
so
a
lot
of
us.
That's
what
we
do.
That's
why
we're
here
at
least
I
am
if
it's
not
about
the
money.
I,
don't
care
about
those
stuff
I'm
just
going
to
tell
you
the
truth,
and
when
you
put
that
in
the
hands
of
city-
and
you
know
and
I,
that's
our
money,
we
taxpayers
too
I,
don't
care
what
anybody
says,
and
the
city
and
county
folks
work
for
us
too.
As
you
all
know,
so,
I'm.
A
K
Gonna
I'm
not
gonna,
conceive
that
because
your
city
staff,
like
Einstein,
said
no
problem,
can
be
solved
with
the
same
level
of
Consciousness
that
created
it
and
they
created
most
of
the
problems
and
policies
that
put
us
where
we
are
so
I
do
not
trust
those
budgets
to
be
developed.
I
don't
want
to
get
caught
up
either,
but
I
can
put
it
up.
I
have
I
know
how
to
put
together
budget
I
can
teach
other
people
how
to
do
it
if
I
need
to
so
I
think
that's
patronizing
and
that's
just
my
take
on
it.
C
Just
the
FYI
I
think
Christine
mentioned
this
at
the
beginning.
It's
like
all
of
the
stuff
that
y'all
are
saying,
because
a
lot
of
this
y'all
are
seeing
for
the
first
time
is
up
for
feedback
and
recommend
like
feedback
and
changes.
This
is
just
the
drive
for
the
proposed
schedule
and
structure
moving
forward
and
that's
why
she
wanted
to
present
it
to
y'all
today,
so
that
y'all
can
get
y'all
feedback
and
stuff
to
her.
So
be
definitely
okay.
C
Well,
we
got
your
feedback
now,
but
you
know
you
can
always
send
that
to
her
or
even
me
in
the
chair,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
it's
also
considered
as
a.
G
Part
of
the
further
development
absolutely
I
appreciate
your
comment.
I
think
there's
opportunity
to
work
within
the
budgetary
allotment,
but
also
considering
sources
like
the
rsaa
and
Partnerships
right.
So
really
do
keep
that
in
mind,
but
the
idea
of
budget
recommendation
type
and
feasibility
level
Concepts
such
as
this
are
adopted
from,
for
example,
a
participatory
function
or
Equity
budget,
all
right
so
looking
at
the
Timeline,
so
the
Timeline
under
the
previous
project
manager
had
immediate
short-term
mediums
and
long-term
recommendations
and
the
closeout
of
the
project
happening
first
quarter
of
2024..
G
The
proposed
2023
project
timeline
picks
up
where
we
left
off
looking
at
Activity
5
pictured
in
the
green,
reaffirming
our
role
right,
reaffirming
the
role
of
the
commission,
but
then
and
then
do
passing
that
immediate
recommendation
in
January,
which
was
half
which
did
happen
right,
but
then
starting
in
February.
G
You
have
activity
seven
and
Activity
six,
which
has
started
already
so
Activity
six
developed
the
IFA
recommendations,
and
that
goes
through
the
middle
of
the
year.
Then
you
also
have
activity
7,
Community
input
and
engagement,
which
is
happening
simultaneously,
along
with
the
IFA
meetings
and
then
activity
eight,
which
happens
on
top
of
that,
which
is
a
recommendation,
vetting
and
refinement.
G
So
what
you'll
find
is
we
are
going
to
be
working
through
this
process
and
it
is
iterative
that
means
that
we're
going
to
a
subcommittee
level
IFA
where
the
ideation
happens,
it's
all
about
ideas,
and
then
we
come
to
the
body
and
go
through
those
ideas:
vet
them
continuous
vetting
and
we're
also
working
in
I'm
working
with
city
and
county
and
legal.
S
G
Just
making
sure
we're
staying,
organized
and
I'm
collecting
all
of
your
ideas
and
getting
that
those
vetting
vetting
things
to
happen
on
an
iterative
basis,
and
so
this
is
a
little.
It
is
a
little
aggressive,
but
I
heard
you
loud
and
clear
when
you
said
we
are
not
doing
enough
right
now,
and
so
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
build
in,
wasn't
an
opportunity
to
see
recommendations
sooner
okay
and
then
this.
G
This
timeline
has
the
written
report
and
a
project
closeout
at
the
end
of
October
or
the
start
of
November
of
this
year.
I'm
happy
to
work
with
y'all
on
that,
but
I
think
that
this
definitely
takes
advantage
of
a
really
active
and
engaged
mission
that
we
have,
and
the
next
page
is
just
go
step
by
step,
really
breaking
down
what
happens
in
each
of
these
activities
and
how
long
each
activity
lasts
again.
G
G
Your
ifas,
we
are
slated
to
have
those
up
for
review
in
February,
so
that's
where
we're
at
and
then
it
would
be
round
one
two
and
three
in
the
final
slate,
rather
than
short,
medium
long
term,
all
right
and
in
terms
of
activity,
10,
the
written
report
and
close
out
the
recommendations
that
are
passed
by
the
commission
will
be
compiled
and
presented
to
the
governing
bodies
shared
with
the
wider
public
and
I
will
leave
the
development
of
writing
the
preparations
action
plan.
G
So
the
main
difference
is
that
prioritization
is
no
longer
based
on
short,
medium
or
long
term,
but
rather
on
feasibility
and
Community
impact,
and
just
making
sure
that
the
the
projects
with
the
biggest
impact
or
or
the
consensus
is
drawn
upon.
What
to
bring
to
the
group
recommendations
should
be
fairly
broad.
They
should
not
be
connected
to
any
particular
group
organization
or
existing
initiative.
Do
you
have
a
comment
just
a
little.
C
I
really
like
I'm
just
time
keeping
because
it's
about
to
be
7,
50
and
I
definitely
want
our
IFA
groups
to
report
out
on
the
updates,
and
so
a
lot
of
this
is
and
like.
If
you
could
bullet
point
and
I
I,
don't
like
you
see
it
and
so
a
lot
of
it
again,
I
think,
and
so
we
do
want
to
make
sure
we
have
time
to
get
to
them.
C
L
Questions
I
do
have
this
question
so
in
the
timeline
it
ended
at
2023,
I,
don't
believe
we
were
seated
until
April
of
last
year.
Oh.
G
That,
if
you
look
at
sorry,
it's
2023
is
a
main
head
for
the
whole
section.
L
L
I
get
the
aggressiveness
of
wanting
to
get
the
work
done,
but
I
would
also
like
the
the
allotted
time
that
was
given
to
this
body
to
be
able
to
deliberate
and
give
good
recommendations
and
be
able
to
vet
that
so
my
main
concern
other
than
some
other
things
that
that
I
see
in
this
is
the
time
frame,
we're
not
even
giving
our
whole
two
years.
Some
boards
are
are
seated
for
four
years.
L
Members
of
boards
are
seated
for
four
years
we
were
sat
for
two
years
and
we're
not
even
getting
that
so
I
would
I
would
say,
there's
a
lot
wrong
in
my
view
of
this
timeline
that
doesn't
include
anything
else
that
I
have
that
I
will
address
with
the
body
and
another
separately,
but
it
just
on
the
first
glance.
This
is,
this
is
not
it.
The
aggressiveness
of
getting
things
done
is
great,
but
shortchanging
us
on
such
a
Monumental
effort
is
a
slap
in
the
face.
G
We
received
that
and
we're
recording
that
for
sure
for
sure
I
definitely
hear
you
loud
and
clear.
I
will
probably
have
to
talk
to
city
and
county
about
that
project
management,
but
I
I,
think
that
makes
sense.
It
makes
sense.
So
if
y'all
are
seated
in
2022,
then
wrap
up
and
close
out
in
2024
make
sense
to
me
any
other
feedback.
L
F
D
L
L
B
Don't
want
to
just
put
something
out
there.
One
way
to
think
about
think
about,
just
as
being
the
first
move.
Second
read
is
trying
to
listen
to
more
detail.
Cursive.
J
A
G
My
inbox
is
open
for
your
comments.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
able
to
adjust
this
based
on
everybody's
thoughts
and
in
comments.
G
So
I
really
do
appreciate
your
time
and
I
apologize
for
being
in
front
of
you
too
long.
But
this
is
also
going
to
be
sent
to
you.
So
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
review
it.
B
Just
real
quick,
so
will
this
be
something
that
will
be
up
to
vote
to
approve
yeah?
Yes,
yes,.
G
C
Well,
we
just
now
y'all
just
not
really
seeing
this
in
this
morning,
and
so
it
is
in
the
packet
that
was
on
the
thing.
So
please
get
her
y'all
comments
and
so
it'll
come
before
us
next
month
and
our
next
meeting
with
those
edits
and
updates
based
on
the
feedback
of
this
commission.
So
please,
please,
please
get
her
all
the
feedback
get
along
and.
C
C
So
if
that's
that's,
that's
yeah,
that's
the
part
I
was
trying
to
get
to
so
up.
Next
is
the
IFA
updates,
and
so
I
definitely
definitely
want
us
and
if
y'all
would
be
so
gracious
as
to
Grace
us
with
an
additional
15
minutes.
C
Okay,
okay,
15
minutes,
so
that
we
do
have
time
to
hear
from
our
IFA
groups.
I
think
it's
super
important
that
we
do
hear
from
them
and
he's
fishing.
Yes,
Keith.
Whatever.
L
C
K
C
And
thank
y'all
so
much,
but
let's
show
our
hands
if
y'all
would
dedicate
15
minutes
to
IFA
report
out,
please,
okay,
so
all
right,
thank
y'all
y'all,
the
best
okay,
this
is
economic
disposed
person
for
economic
development
is
up
to
get
an
update
for
the
Economic
Development
Group.
Who
is
the
spokesperson?
Is
it
Mr
Barton.
O
O
Us
and
and
right
now,
I
think
that
the
person
who
is
most
prepared
to
speak
there
are
some
things
that,
amongst
our
recommendations,
that
we
have
not
been
able
to
quantify
yet
and
to
and
and
That's
essential
to
to
to
what
we're
doing
some
have
been
and
I
think
Miss
Williams
can
can
speak
to
the
ones
that
have
been
on
their
life
and
I.
Think
that's
the
portion
of
our
IFA
that
we
can
speak
to
tonight.
Okay,.
J
K
It's
like
we've
advocated
that
methodology,
but
anyway
what
we
thought
we'd
do
would
be
to
honor
those
and
provide
them
with
capacity
building
grants
and
I
did
send
that
out
to
several
y'all
on
the
committed
electronically
I
think
I
sent
it
out
Friday
and
also
did
build
in
a
capital
plan
for
folks
who
did
have
schematics
or
a
I
drawings
or
whatever,
and
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
get
and
I
guess.
K
Would
like
to
honor
the
neighborhoods
since
y'all
put
this
work
in
I
know
things
are
changing,
but
I
think
it's
up
to
this
body
to
really
decide
how
y'all
want
to
do
that.
You
know
to
honor
it
or
not,
because
we
that's.
The
way
we
started
is
looking
at
the
existing
neighborhood
plans
that
are
including
South
Side,
who
really
doesn't
even
have
a
neighborhood
plan,
but
we
feel
like
they
should
have
capacity
to
build
and
I
think
that
budget
was
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
each
of
the
four
black
Legacy
neighborhoods.
K
That
capacity
building
would
be
in
the
form
of
someone
coming
in
and
providing
them
with
a
technical
assistance
to
flesh
out
those
plans
and
make
them
walk
to
put
budgets
together
to
help
them
put
the
capital
plans
in
order,
and
we
also
advise
something
of
a
capital
plan
based
on
the
square
footage
of
the
Blue
Note
incubator
out
on
Burke
Street
at
the
center
now
for
the
basement,
which
now,
which
is
about
almost
6
000
square
feet,
and
we
approximated
that
cost
to
be
about
1.23
million
dollars.
K
So
heads
up
to
all
you
other
community
groups,
if
you've
got
some
a
e
stuff,
some
schematics
and
some
plans
smoke
them
over
and
send
them
this
way
and
we'll
put
a
dollar
amount
on
them.
I'm
just
talking
to
the
Wayne,
using
it
right
now
we're
looking
at
about
200
220
dollars
a
square
foot
finish.
If
you
want
programs
and
budgets
for
that,
then
you
know
tell
us
what
those
are
we
can
put
those
together
and
sit
down.
Explain
to
you!
That's
all
I
got
if
you
got
any
questions,
just
ask
a.
F
B
This
is
the
part
from
any
formats
or
templates,
or
anything
like
this
is
my
request.
Is
that
in
federal
processes
in
many
states
also
there's
an
authorization
and
Appropriations
process,
but
the
authorization
explains
it's
a
narrative.
It's
an
overview
overview,
it's
a
principal
statement
if
the
China
unites
and
explains
why
we
need
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
while
the
second
part
of
it
is
the
meat
and
bones
of
it.
B
It's
it's
the
details,
the
data
so
in
order
to
facilitate
and
accelerate
I
wonder
if
we
can
get
that
first
statement
from
you
on
economic
development
and
The
Narrative
of
what
it
is
we're
trying
to
do.
If
we
don't
have
all
the
data,
that's
supported,
Jeff,
it
won't
hold
up
our
own
process.
I,
wonder
if
that's
a
possibility.
Remember.
K
O
I
I
had
a
suggestion
from
County
official
that
maybe
one
of
the
things
that
we
include
in
our
recommendations
is
the
once
we
have
a
feasibility
study,
cost
estimate
things
of
that
nature
that
we
include
the
cost
of
bringing
in
the
professionals
to
do
the
assessment
as
part
of
our
budgetary
request,
so
that
we
can
make
certain
that
we
can
hire
the
proper
professionals
to
appropriately
quantify
and
and
create
plans
for
us
to
to
go
forward
and
to
to
assess
the
structures
that
have
to
be
redone.
K
If
we
have
enough
Professionals
for
project
manager
and
construction
manager
for
and
we've
used,
Burton
Street
as
the
Prototype,
since
they
did
have
square
footage
and
the
architectural
specifications
and
plans
we
had
to
do
it
for
any
neighborhood
once
you
smoke
it
over,
you
know
send
it
our
way
and
we'll
we'll
put
the
numbers
together.
For
you
really
show
you,
you
know
what
they
mean,
which
is
important.
You
need
to
know
which
process
and.
O
O
To
throw
in
an
example,
we
thought
that
that
Shiloh
by
example,
facilities
that
the
Shiloh
Community
Center
offers
Shiloh
might
be
a
good
location
to
have
Education
Centers,
where
they
have
the
most
Community
investment
right
now
already
ongoing,
and
somebody
may
speak
to
that,
and-
and
that's
just
one
of
the
proposals-
that's
not
something
that
is
somehow
poured
into
concrete
I'm.
Just
saying
by
comparison.
We
have.
O
We
have
the
blue
note
a
project
in
West
Asheville,
but
then,
if
we
were
looking
at,
maybe
what
the
potential
is
for
the
other
communities
Shiloh
has
has
the
community
center
that
has
an
education
center
and
is
already
receiving
funding
and
is
is,
is
is
kind
of
stable
in
its
existence.
C

Oh
and
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
about
Sharla
but
I
want
to
also
say
shallow.
We
have
our
shallow
Community
Association
and
we
also
are
in
the
process
of
doing
fundraising
for
our
Resource
Center,
which
includes
a
lot
of
educational
programs
and
and
other
things
that
would
help
our
community,
such
as
jobs
and
all
the
other
activities
that
we
have
with
our
community
garden.

We
also
have
in
the
works
a
stop
the
harm
proposal,
recommendation
regarding
student
suspensions
and
expulsions.
