Good
afternoon
Jake
Smith
288
zero
one
at
Large.
D
Hi
I'm
Elise
martyr,
I
reside
in
28806
I'm.
Also
an
at-large
representative.
E
D
A
A
I
want
you
to
look
at
that,
as
everyone
had
the
opportunity
to
look
over
the
approval
of
the
draft
minutes
from
April
the
24th,
if
not
take
a
minute
or
two.
If
you've
looked
over
them.
A
C
A
Place
made
by
and
a
second
by
Elizabeth
any
questions
all
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
those
opposed
do
we
have
any
public
comments
or
voicemails.
I
I
Sounds
good
and
Dao
Dow
is
not
available
tonight
she
had
a
conflict
so
Meredith's
going
to
provide
you
all
with
a
an
update
on
the
neighborhood
matching
grants.
F
Hi
everyone,
I'm
Meredith,
friedheim,
Neighborhood
Services
specialist
Habib,
to
give
you
guys
an
update
on
round
three
of
the
neighborhood
matching
grant
program.
F
So
far,
we
have
seven
good,
looking
applications
that
have
been
submitted,
I've
been
providing
technical
assistance
to
neighborhoods
along
the
way
and
I
I
know
that
there
are
a
couple
additional
applications
that
we
know
of
that
are
coming
in,
and
the
deadline
is
this:
coming
Saturday
May
27th
according
to
Christina
might
not
be
surprising
if
we
get
a
few
extras
that
come
in
right
at
the
end
of
that
deadline,
right
there
and
Christina
and
I
are
working
to
answer
any
questions
and
sort
of
that.
F
The
applications
as
we
as
we
get
them
in
so
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
the
lead
leg
work
out
of
the
way
and
the
scoring
team
is
scheduled
to
meet
the
week
of
June
5th
to
go
over
all
of
the
applications
and
hopefully
come
out
of
that
meeting
with
our
awardees
selected
and
then
we'll
be
announcing
the
awardees
by.
F
So
that's
that's
the
gist
of
the
update
and
also
Christina,
just
put
on
the
neighborhood
matching
Grant
section
of
our
website,
a
new
dashboard
for
the
grants,
and
this
is
a
really
cool
tool
for
the
public
to
use
to
see
all
of
the
neighborhood
matching
grants
that
have
been
awarded.
Thus
far
with
all
of
the
information
sort
of
attached
there
y'all
to
check
that
out.
I
So
not
so
much,
probably
not
as
thorough
an
update
as
dawa
would
give
I
will
say
that
the
page
that
is
on
public
input,
which
you
can
access
by
going
to
the
city's
website
clicking
on
engage,
takes
you
to
the
virtual
engagement
hub
and
the
downtown
safety
initiative
is
one
of
the
first
projects
that
you'll
see.
And
so,
when
you
go
to
that
project,
we've
started
adding
the
project
by
the
Numbers
information,
which
is
there's
a
lot
of
interesting,
interesting
stuff.
I
So
there's
a
lot
of
just
a
lot
of
numbers
on
that
page
if
folks
want
to
go
and
and
check
that
out,
it's
being
updated
bi-weekly.
So,
throughout
this
60-day
downtown
safety
initiative,
we're
going
to
keep
folks
updated
via
that
page
and
there's
an
opportunity
for
people
to
subscribe
for
those
updates.
So,
rather
than
having
to
remember
to
go
back
and
check,
you
can
receive
an
email
in
your
inbox,
reminding
you
hey.
You
know.
We've
updated
the
dashboard
with
the
latest
information.
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
all
about
that.
A
K
Hello
hi
good
evening.
Everyone
thank
you
for
your
service
and
this
opportunity
to
share
what
we're
doing
with
human
relations.
Commission
I
just
recently
wrapped
my
term
as
chair
on
Thursday.
So
it
is
an
honor
to
be
presenting
this
information
to
you
all
and
once
again,
thank
you
for
your
service
being
on.
A
commission
is
quite
a
challenge,
and
so
I
commend
all
of
you.
K
Human
relations
Commission
of
Asheville
is
a
collection
of
people
who
have
joined
together
in
elevating
awareness,
around
public
safety,
education,
equity
and
inclusion,
supporting
the
office
of
equity,
inclusion
in
the
city
of
Asheville
and
also
being
a
representative
and
an
ear
between
the
community
and
the
City.
K
We
achieved
that
by
promoting
and
improving
human
relations
and
achieving
Equity
among
all
citizens
in
the
City.
By
carrying
out
the
city's
human
relations
program,
we
prioritize
racial
Equity
work
with
city
government
and
partner
with
communities
and
outside
agencies,
in
an
effort
to
encourage
and
ensure
diversity,
fairness,
equity
and
inclusion
throughout
the
city,
so
we're
removing
barriers
and
opening
up
opportunities
for
diversity,
removing
barriers
with
equity
and
opening
up
opportunities
for
diversity,
for
example.
K
We
just
recently
recommended
to
city
council
the
Asheville
Crown
act
to
remove
any
barriers
of
natural
hair
within
any
level
in
the
city,
which
also
supports
the
non-discrimination.
Ordinance
Asheville
Crown
act
allows
for
people
with
natural
hair
who
have
like
dreadlocks
and
stuff
like
locks
and
braids,
and
things
like
that
to
not
be
discriminated
against
on
any
level
for
their
hair,
which
is
a
long,
often
steeped
and
unspoken
discrimination
that
people
with
natural
hair
have
experienced
in
this
country
and
in
Asheville.
K
So
we
can
work
together
as
commissions
to
find
out
what
you
see
in
your
neighborhoods
as
potential
for
advocacy
within
discrimination
or
any
barriers
within
policy
barriers
to
equity
within
the
policies
that
you
encounter
surrounding
your
neighborhoods
to
bring
to
us
and
collaborate
on
how
we
can
build
policy
or
recommendations,
policy
recommendations
to
city
council
foreign.
So
we
make
policy
recommendations
to
city
council
which
promote
and
improve
human
relations
and
Advance
equity
in
the
city.
K
We
engage
the
community
regarding
the
utilization
of
city-funded
programs
and
policies
for
the
promotion
of
human
relations
and
promote
and
improve
human
relations
and
Advance
equity
in
the
following
areas:
public
safety,
education,
our
cultural
opportunities,
Economic,
Development,
Health
and
Human
Services
and
housing,
so
Economic,
Development,
housing,
cultural
opportunities
and
education
and
Public
Safety.
We
can
all
join
together
with
commissions
across
the
board
and
the
issues
that
come
up
and
arise.
K
We
have
developed
working
groups
within
our
commission
that
address
specific
issues,
intergovernment
relations,
Community
engagement,
addressing
housing
issues,
examining
systems
and,
of
course,
improving
hrca.
If
you
would
like
a
copy
of
this,
let
Brenda
know
and
Brenda
would
be
glad
to
email
out
a
copy
to
Chris,
Kristen
Christina,
and
so
that
everybody
here
can
receive
a
copy
of
our
working
groups
and
if
you
want
to
participate
in
any
of
those
working
groups
as
the
on
the
capacity
as
a
commissioner
or
Community
member
you're.
More
than
welcome.
K
The
human
relations
commission,
the
issues
that
we
deal
with
are
really
really
happy
and
not
everybody
can
sit
on
that
Commission,
it's
a
lot
of
stuff,
and
so
we
did
remove
inactive
members.
We
remove
restrictions
on
membership
from
ordinance
and
so
in
the
initiation
or
when
we
began
the
commission.
K
We
had
numbers
a
certain
amount
of
numbers,
demographic
and
were
to
be
on
the
commission,
so
there
was
I
believe,
like
seven
African-American,
like
seven
African-American
to
lgbtq,
so
here
in
North,
Carolina
quotas
are
illegal,
and
so
we
didn't
really
recognize
that
and
then
we
recognized
that-
and
we
did
everything
to
rectify
it.
Well,
keeping
in
mind
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
commission
allows
for
a
diverse
commission.
K
I'll,
get
to
your
question
in
a
moment,
allows
for
a
diverse
comment:
commission
within
reflection
to
the
issues
that
arise
here
in
Asheville
that
are
often
specific
to
demographics
that
are
affected
by
the
things
that
we
address
in
our
mission
recommended
adding
sorts
of
income
to
City
of
Asheville
on
the
non-discrimination
ordinance
we
moved
to
in-person
meetings,
we
reduced
our
membership
from
15
to
nine,
to
balance
the
heavy
lift
of
our
commission,
so
15
people
with
a
lot
of
people,
and
so
we
would
always
kind
of
search
for
quorum.
K
K
We
moved
to
mix
six
meetings
a
year
and
we
hold
them
every
other
month
and
we
begin
that
this
January
and
also
once
again
introduce
discussion
to
recommend
a
unique
ordinance
to
protect
natural
hair
for
2023,
and
our
next
Retreat
will
definitely
be
updating
the
hrca
work
plan
and
build
relationships
with
Community
to
increase
visibility.
This
is
a
brand
new
Commission,
so
we've
only
been
around
since
2018
2019.
K
.
yeah
we've
only
been
around
since
2018,
so
we're
still
bringing
that
visibility
out
to
Asheville
and
the
greater
Collective
also
to
create
and
Foster
educational
opportunities,
with
hrca
for
Community
awareness
of
City
departments
and
programs,
and
more
policy
recommendations
to
city
council
to
reduce
barriers
to
equity
for
All
Peoples
of
Asheville
collaborate
across
current
boards
and
commissions
on
recommendations
and
or
initiatives
put
forth
by
Asheville
boards
and
commissions.
K
One
of
the
things
that
I
was
attempting
to
do
as
chair
is
to
unite
the
chairs
and
the
boards
and
commissions,
and
that
was
almost
like
chasing
butterflies.
K
I
would
like
to
see
a
retreat
amongst
the
commission
boards
chairs
and
vice
chairs
to
collaborate
across
the
boards
to
create
that
open
conversation
of
collaboration
and
to
foster
a
strong
sense
of
community
in
the
Asheville
human
relations
commission
to
model
human
relations
to
Asheville
and
the
City
of
Asheville.
K
E
I
think
the
handout
that
I
couldn't
read
from
here
would
probably
answer
my
questions.
So
I'm
talking
I'm
as
the
neighborhood
I'm
involved
in
28805
as
a
personal
I'm
work
with
my
community.
It's
a
28801
and
we
have
different
issues
that
go
on
in
both
those
neighborhoods
that
I
get
involved
in.
So
in
28805
we
had
our
little
barrier,
housing
issue
that
was
going
along
Tunnel
Road
and
we
got
directly
involved
in
that.
E
We
we
formed
groups
and
we
went
to
council
and
we
got
deeply
involved
in
that
did
HRC
attempt
to
deal
with
and
on
your
level
of
avoid
Commission
on
that
low
barrier
issues
that
were
real
packed
in
the
neighborhoods
like
Hawk
Creek
28805,
which
is
Hawk
Creek,
also
and
Oakley,
who
were
quite
focal
about
that
and
got
very
involved
as
HRC.
Did
you
make
a
focus
on
that
particular
issue
or.
K
Not
we
were
as
far
as
I
know,
we
were
not
invited
into
that
conversation,
so
how
this
is
what
I'm
talking
about
collaboration
so
you're
working
on
this
initiative?
Right
and
so
you
say,
hey
I,
want
to
come
to
the
human
relations
commission
have
representation
from
the
human
relations
commission.
Let's
collaborate
together
and
write
policy
to
recommend
or
write
a
recommendation
to
city
council
to
address
the
issues
that
are
coming
up,
which
strengthens
our
boards
and
commissions.
E
Right
but
it
was
so
publicized,
I
mean
it
was
hugely
publicized.
It
was
in
the
ACT
every
day
and
there
was
just
a
lot
of
information
on
it.
E
So
what
I
I
see
you
saying
is
that
when
all
these
neighborhoods
are
organizing,
we
met
with
City
that
someone
could
have
raised
their
hand
and
said:
shall
we
involve
the
HRC
in
this
and
see
if
they'll
have
an
opinion
on
this,
because
sometimes
it'll,
take
having
me
been
on
board
of
commission
takes
a
little
longer
when
you
get
a
upset
Community,
they
will
coalesce
right
away
and
their
pounding
Council
immediately.
E
So,
but
then
there's
also
that
long
term,
which
brings
me
to
the
issues
of
one
where
we've
got
Development
coming
in
with
the
guys
and
Zoning
changes
and
missing
middle
housing,
which
is
the
new
buzzword
now
for
our
denser
building,
which
works
in
some
areas
and
doesn't
work
in
other
areas
like
everything,
there's
no
one-size-fits
all
and
so
288
in
one
is
very
much
interested
because
we
have
a
lot
of
land.
E
We
have
reparation
land
that
was
taken
that
we're
protecting
as
much
as
we
can,
but
we're
a
builder's
Paradise
right
there
right
now.
So.
E
Comes
to
us
and
brings
us
what
I
call
their
dog
and
pony
show
and
wants
to
sell
us
a
new
idea,
and
so,
if
we
want
to
find
a
happy
medium
with
the
community,
us
as
a
neighborhood
and
equity
and
we
I
could
stand
up
at
a
meeting
and
go.
Maybe
we
should
talk
to
HRC
about
where
they
can
help
us
in
our
presentation
and
be
behind
us
or
with
this
or
work
with
us,
and
our
our
discussions
with
council
is
that
how
HRC
works.
K
I
appreciate
that
I
mean
because
that
is
a
that
is
a
challenge
that
we
have
experienced.
I've
personally
experienced
this
chair
figuring
out
a
way
to
include
commissions
on
our
initiatives,
I've
reached
out
to
commissions
on
initiatives
and
received
no
response,
and
so
yeah.
J
J
K
Right
so
as
as
sitting
on
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee,
you
would
come
to
the
hrca
as
a
represent
representative
of
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee.
As
a
representative
of
that
neighborhood
and
collectively
say
hey,
we
have
this
initiative
going
on
this.
Is
this
issue
going
on
get
everybody
on
your
commission
aware
of
what
you're
doing
and
then
bring
it
to
us
so
that
we
can
join
forces
to
write
a
recommendation
to
City
Paul
to
city
council.
K
Right
so
then
we
would,
it
would
go
like
this.
You
would
come
to
us.
Then
we
would
come
to
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
and
find
out
what
you
all
thought
about
it
to
collaborate
on.
What's
the
next
best
thing
to
do
so,
that's
what
I'm
saying
about
collaboration
across
committees,
commissions
and
boards
and
committees.
K
K
Yes
and
then
we
would
yes
and
then
we
would
all
talk
about
it
and
then
we'd
say
hey.
We
received
this
recommendation
from
neighborhood
advisory
committee.
Let's
have
a
look
at
it.
Let's
endorse
it
or
not,
and
we'll
make
a
vote
on
it
or
write
a
recommendation
to
support
that,
and
then
that
would
go
to
City
Council.
K
K
Thank
you.
I.
C
Actually
do
have
one
question
and
one
comment:
the
comment
is,
thank
you.
So
much
for
bringing
this
to
us
I
was
not
really
aware
of
what
all
had
been
transpiring,
but
was
aware
that
it
existed,
but
this
really
helped
round
out
my
picture
of
what
you've
been
working
on
and
my
question
is
I
think
you
said
you
were.
This
is
you're
getting
out
of
your
role
as
chair
or.
K
No
I
have
served
my
terms.
Okay,
so
I
started
off
as
a
commissioner
in
20
yeah
and
so
now,
I'm
I've,
wrapped
my
term
as
chair.
So
I
was
just
wondering
what.
K
A
new
chair
now
chair,
Alma
Atkins
and
vice
chair
Daniel
young,
the
main
contact
for
the
human
relations
Commission.
K
And
if
you
know,
you're
more
than
welcome
to
contact
me
as
well
for
anything
so
I'm
always
open
and
available,
I've
got
some
good
things
that
we're
doing
and
I'd
probably
be
interested
in.
So
besides
that,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
Thank
you
all
for
your
service
really
appreciate.
All
of
you
and
I'm
glad
to
see
everybody
doing
good
things
and
I
will
step
away
from
the
microphone.
J
A
Now,
let's
go
on
to
the
unfinished
business,
the
working
group.
Do
you
have
any
comments
before
it's
kind
of
like
for
us
to
look
over
the
bylaws
I
understand
that
the
City
attorney
has
already
said
that
giving
us
a
goal
for
it.
So
if
you
want
to
kind
of
look
over
just
to
look
over
it
and
read
over
to
see
what
you
have,
the
great
work
for
the
working
group
has
done
and
I've
read
over
it,
but
maybe
everyone
else
hasn't
complete
rid
of
it
and
then
we'll
take
a
vote
on
it.
A
A
All
right,
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
to
accept
these
these
bylaws
and
then
a
second.
E
A
C
Yes,
we
met
two
weeks
ago,
two
or
three
weeks
ago,
virtually
there
were
a
few
of
us
that
were
sort
of
circling
back
around
to
the
the
date
and
the
location,
and
we
have
completed
an
application.
Christina
completed
that
application.
You
have
a
copy
of
this
application
in
front
of
us.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
if
there's
any
questions
or
discussion
about
what
about
anything
on
here,
every
minute
to
look
at
that,
we
have
set
it
for
September
30th
at
Martin,
Luther,
King
Park,
it's
a
Saturday
from
10
to
4.
C
And
it
has
basically
outlined
the
number
of
tents
we're
going
to
have.
Hopefully
that
will
be
filled
by
very
excited
neighborhood
associations
and
other
groups,
a
couple
of
Inflatables
and
although
oh,
there
is
a
map
on
the
back
sort
of
a
map
of
a
couple
of
bouncy
houses
and
the
way
the
tables
would
be
laid
out,
the
little
trucks
or
the
food
trucks.
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
how
this
might
be
set
up
with
a
lot
of
open
space
in
the
middle.
C
I
think
we
should
I,
think
I
think
it'll
go
out
to
everyone
right
all
the
city,
groups
and
commissions
we
do
have.
If
you
know,
we've
taken
care
of
applying
for
all
the
access
water,
electricity,
those
types
of
things,
the
food
both
we
thought
it
was
important
in
our
meeting
that
we
have
some
food.
That's
just
available
some
complimentary
food,
as
well
as
some
food
truck
sales
that
are
there.
J
E
I
just
want
to
make
a
note,
knowing
this
part
as
well
as
I,
do
that
some
of
these
triangles
that
we
have
are
going
to
have
to
be
a
food
truck
for
the
ones
that
need
electricity.
So
we
still
have
to
firm
up
who
our
food
trucks
are
going
to
be
and
what
they
need,
because
electricity
is
located
on
a
pole
over
here,
two
poles
at
MLK
and
one
poll
over
where
there's
a
umbrella,
so
we'll
kind
of
have
to
dodge
around
for
the
people
that
need
it
and
a
site
visit.
C
Generators
and
part
of
that
is
when,
in
a
minute,
when
I
talk
about
the
team,
the
ideal
teams
we're
going
to
have
where
we
have
people
that
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
and
I'll
put
in
my
plug
in
just
a
minute
for
the
different
areas:
activities:
food
in
kind
donations,
sponsorships
things
like
that
and
the
logistics
some
of
the
electric
and
things
that
we've
talked
about
in
our
meeting.
But
I'm
sure
this
is
just
a
rough
sketch
and
then,
as
we
do,
find
out
more
details
between
now
and
September.
E
And
I'm
off
the
board
and
I
said
I
would
volunteer.
I
will
be
gone
that
week
that
this
is
happening
and
I
was
so
volunteered
and
help
set
up.
C
C
I
Basically,
if
you
see
anything
that
needs
to
be
changed,
you
don't
have
to
necessarily
come
up
with
it
right
now.
I
know
you
need
time
to
review
it,
but
sometime
over
the
course
of
the
next
week,
if
I
could
hear
that
from
you,
because
we
would
have
to
submit
an
amendment
to
our
application
since
it
has
been
submitted
but
yeah
or
any
questions
that
I
that
I
could
answer
since
I
was
I
filled
this
out
with
my.
I
C
One
of
these
tents
will
be
where
speakers
go
well,
we'll
have
a
microphone
in
the
amplification
and
those
types
of
things
for
Babette
and
any
other
City
people
that
want.
J
C
The
Festival
of
neighborhoods
and
what
the
neighborhood
advisory
Council
and
all
the
groups
that
are
collaborating,
are
doing,
and
so
we'll
have
an
opportunity.
I,
don't
know
if
that
will
be
the
staging
area
if,
where
we're
going
to
have
music
music
is
definitely
part
of
this.
We'll
talk,
I'll
talk
in
just
a
minute
about
the
other
parts,
but
more
details
to
be
determined.
E
I
A
C
So
the
majority
of
our
meeting
was
discussing
the
areas
where
we
will
need
a
lot
more
help
and
because
Wendy
and
Sharon
I
think
are
both
rolling
off
this
summer
before
this
event
and
Jake
and
I
and
Babette
not
only
help
in
this
working
group,
but
also
to
disseminate
the
information
spread
it
out
to
all
the
neighborhoods.
I
am
going
to
be
drafting
a
letter
to
the
neighborhoods
that
are
on
our
neighborhood
on
a
page
to
give
them
some
details.
C
Ask
them
to
disseminate
that
at
their
neighborhood
association
meetings
and
get
any
volunteers
to
be
funneled
to
us
and
and
then
anybody
on
Knack,
as
that
starts
to
develop
anyone
on
Knack
that
wants
to
jump
in
in
one
of
the
team
areas
we
talked
about.
Having
you
know
say:
maybe
up
to
four
teams,
one
that
was
dealing
with
the
food
issues.
You
know
which
food
vendors
and
and
which,
what
kinds
of
food
would
we
have
that's
complementary
versus
the
stuff
for
sale?
C
What
activities
besides
the
bouncy
houses,
the
musicians?
All
of
those
types
of
ideas,
they've
been
so
many
at
dozens
and
dozens
of
ideas
discussed,
but
it
really
would
be
work
a
whole
lot
better.
If
we
had
teams
working
on
those
so
the
logistics,
which
is
the
physical
setup
and
the
electricity
which
Sharon
said
she
would
help
with
and
then
any
kind
of,
printing
Flyers
posters.
C
Or
other
you
know
things
like
that,
so
ideally
we're
going
to
have
these
four
teams
after
we
send
the
letter
out
to
the
neighborhoods
and
say
where
would
you
like
to
plug
in
and
have
a
point
person
for
each
of
those
teams
so
that
our
work
group
can
be
the
Liaisons
with
them
and
they
can
also.
C
Efficient
meetings,
so
if
you
have
specific
neighbor
ideas
and
want
to
talk
to
your
neighborhood
associations,
please
feel
free
to
gather
any
information.
I'm
happy
to
be
a
point
person
for
the
the
the
larger
volunteer
list
and
then
sort
of
figure
out
which
area
they
want
to
be
a
part
of,
and
what
else
am
I
missing
anything
getting
so
many
ideas
we
talked
about
I
could
I
could
talk
about
it
for
another
15
minutes,
but
I
will
not.
A
J
C
Talked
about
things
like
you
know,
the
Babette,
you
were
mentioning
like
Mr
Davis's,
hot.
C
F
J
C
To
be
fun,
we
want
to
we're
going
to
have
hopefully
collaborate
with
the
the
fire
and
the
police
and
the
safety
of
the
guy
that
came.
Was
it
Jeremy,
yeah,
you're
right?
C
Yes,
that
came
and
talked
about
the
preparedness
having
a
booth
on
that
we
could
have
Booth
I'm,
hoping
that
the
multiple
multimodal
Transportation
Commission
come
and
have
and
have
a
booth
and
have
and
ask
people.
You
know
what
is
something
you're
concerned
about
that
you'd
like
to
make
more
walkable
or
pedestrian
friendly.
B
Do
we
have
a
short
list
of
people
who
are
going
to
be
populating
those
times
yet.
H
In
terms
of
business
involvement,
like
what
kind
of
businesses
are
you
looking
for
and
what
type
of
involvement
is
it
like?
They
get
a
booth,
but
they
have
to
pay
for
that
or
they
donate
and
they
don't
get
a
booth
or.
C
H
H
Well,
you
just
didn't
know
in
terms
of
you
know,
because
businesses
get
involved
for
different
reasons
if
there
was
like
a
specific
like
Focus
or
what
you
would
want
them
to
do,
because
I
mean
if
people
are
going
to
jump
on
that,
just
to
promote
their
business
and
I,
don't
know
that
we
want
that
to
be
that
kind
of
event.
Right.
C
D
E
If
we're
doing
and
then
a
flyer
that
advertises
when
we're
doing
where
it's
going
on,
we
need
two
two
ways
of
advertising
to
get
people
aware,
so
that
when
I
go
to
my
neighborhood
meeting,
I
can
get
maybe
a
minute
and
a
half
attention
of
everybody.
But
then
I
can
hand
out
flyers
to
everybody
and
I
know
that
we
have
no
money
for
Flyers.
But
the
city
is
the
availability
of
their
print
shop.
So
maybe
we
can
print
off
x.
Amount
of
this
is
what
we're
looking
for.
B
C
Yeah-
and
this
thing
is
so
massive
in
all
the
things
we've
talked
about-
feels
like
we're
just
at
the
beginning
of
some
of
the
details,
but
these
are
really
good
things
that
we
could
put
on
the
agenda
for
the
next
work
group
meeting
and
I.
Imagine
that
the
you
know
anybody
that
has
a
strength
in
Flyers
printing
Graphics.
Anything
like
that.
That
wants
to
be
a
part
of
that
effort.
I
would
welcome
you.
Oh.
H
I
was
going
to
say
in
terms
of
marketing
so
obviously
like
we
just
discussed
it'd,
be
marketing
to
people
who
actually
want
to
participate
in
it
and
then
marketing
the
event
as
a
thing
that
people
attend
right.
So
it's
like
two
different,
it's
more
like
internal
marketing
and
then
external
marketing.
H
E
H
E
E
H
H
A
H
C
Yeah,
right
and
I
think
that
may
be
something
when
I
send
out
to
the
the
letter
to
the
39,
neighborhoods
or
the
email
to
those
cherishes
to
say:
do
you
have
a
Facebook
page?
Do
you
have
another
type
of
way
that
you
communicate
about
things
and
then
we
will
also
do
flyers
and
do
all
of
those
things
so.
A
I
think
that
that
it's
going
to
be
something
that
there's
going
to
be
that
we
Market
yes
and
I-
think
that
when
we
find
out
how
many
neighborhoods
are
going
to
be
present,
that's
the
first
time
but
like
when
Sharon
and
I
we
go
to
the
association
I,
don't
know
how
many
people
go
to
your
neighborhood
association
meetings,
okay,.
A
J
A
And
they
got
to
have
what
they'll
put
it'll
be
all
over
everywhere
and
then
Cad
and
then
what
are
the
marketing?
So
I
don't
know
about
it's
like
a
fun
day.
So
I
don't
know
about
a
lot
of
it's
kind
of
iffy,
because
you
don't
know
who's
going
to
turn
he's
going
to
turn
up.
You
know
because
it's
neighborhoods
and
you
want
it
to
be
fun
and
it's
like
when
Eastern
Valley
has
their
their.
A
C
All
right
good,
so
we're
gonna
our
in
our
next
work
group
we'll
have
we'll
start
to
shape
up
the
criteria,
the
teams
who's
doing
what
maybe
we'll,
hopefully
start
getting
some
information
back
from
those
neighborhood.
The
chairs
of
those
neighborhood
associations
and
I
do
realize
that
there's
also
some
places
in
Asheville
that
aren't
part
of
a
neighborhood
association,
and
so
you
know
where
you'll
have
to
figure
out
how
to
get
word
out
to
them.
I
mean
word
of
mouth
is
one
thing,
but
we'll
bring
that
back
as
we
get
to.
C
B
J
A
A
Happened
at
their
table,
they
would
have
information
like
South
Side.
They
have
a
fabulous
Garden
and
they
do
a
farmer's
market.
Burton
Street
has
agricultural.
A
A
So
we
you
know
as
long
as
we
can
start
to
bring
that,
and
then
we
could
do
some
health
projects
with
like
a
river
and
Advent
help
and
remember.
We
talked
about
Appalachia
they're,
doing
something.
I
know
Dr
Platt
is
in
charge
of
that
and
they
do
great
work
and
they
come
out
and
they
have,
you
know,
have
presentation,
they
did
blood
pressures
and
a
lot
of
stuff
like
that.
So.
J
A
E
C
C
There
is
one
question
I
have
about
in
relation
to
an
email,
Christina
that
you
said
it
was
something
having
to
do
with
I
wish
I
had
in
front
of
me.
Do
people
providing
food
have
to
have
some
sort
of
meet
some
sort
of
standard
like
there's
some
health,
they
have
to
have
a
growing.
I
Understanding
is
that
if
they
are
vending
food,
if
they're
selling
food
for
money,
then
yes,
they
have
to
meet
the
health
department
codes,
so
inspectable
kitchen
and
maybe
a
license,
and
that
sort
of
thing
so,
like
your
food
trucks,
are
definitely
going
to
meet
that
criteria.
I
C
A
If
you
will
find
out,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
then
every
food
truck
they
would
have
to
make
submit
an
application.
So
that
would
be
what
we
would
have
to
get.
So
that's
some
information.
You
need
soon
of
a
commitment
for
them
to
want
to
be
there
on
that
day,
so
they
can
get
that
application
in,
because
that's
what
they
have
to
do
anything
that's.
I
We
we
would
give
the
once
the
food
trucks
have
been
decided
on.
You
know
by
whoever
on
the
committee
or
the
working
group.
We
would
actually
pass
that
on
to
the
health
department.
We
would
say:
hey
we're
having
this
event,
and
these
are
the
food
trucks
that
are
going
to
be
there,
and
then
they
do
the
legwork
to
reach
out
to
them
for
whatever
they
need
license
and
Etc.
So.
A
C
And
I
think
when
I
I
will
have
a
few
options
that
I
throw
out
there
as
examples
in
that
letter
to
the
neighborhood
associations.
It
just
there's
a
wide
range
of
things
that
you
can
do.
Yeah.
D
So,
just
to
clarify
the
kind
of
the
message
that
you're
sending
to
the
neighborhood
leaders
right
now
is
letting
them
know
that
we're
doing
this,
like
save
the
date,
get
them
started
about
what
they
would
want
to
showcase
at
their
tent,
but
also
did
I
hear
you're
trying
to
get
any
volunteers
that
they
might
have.
Who
want
to
be
more
involved
in
the
planning
process.
C
A
C
C
There
were
several
right-of-way
closures
that
we
went
through
and
voted
on
that
were
just
things
that
were
already
in
practice
and
in
place.
That's
always
an
agenda
item
at
the
mmtc
that
we're
just
going
through
the
motions
of
closing
something
that
has
already
been
petitioned
and
sort
of
already
been
in
the
works
or
already
like
a
road
closure
that
was
not
actually
open
to
traffic
anyway.
The
other
thing
was
speed.
Limit
changes
all
around
the
city,
we're
lowering
speed
limits.
C
There
were
five
particular
ones
on
Sandhill
E
Street
at
Sandhill
in
western
part
of
County
E
Street
in
Oakley,
Hampton
Road
in
Beverly,
Hills,
clingman
and
I
should
have
and
Sardis
Road,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
with
the
about
what
is
the
appropriate
speed
limit
on
Sandhill
and
and
clingman
in
places
where
there's
been
increased,
use
of,
say
the
Hominy,
Creek,
Greenway
and
Santa.
You
know
people
backing
in
that
of
that.
Not
a
lot
of
parking
so,
though
we're
we're
lowering
it
now.
There
was
a
lot
of
conversation
about.
C
It
could
be
lowered
more
if
you
want
to
know
the
specific
ones
they
have
that
on
there
minutes,
as
well,
like
which
ones
like,
for
instance,
in
Hampton
Hampton
Road
in
Beverly
Hills,
is
completely
residential,
very
early
I
think
they
lowered
it
to
30,
and
you
I
used
to
live
on
that
road.
You
cannot
go
30
on
that
road,
so.
E
They
took
from
35
to
25,
but
we
didn't
ever
have
any
speed
signs
up
there
anyway
and
when
they
changed
it,
they
didn't
change.
Put
any
speed
signs
up
to
let
everybody
know
what's
going
on
so
when
they
say
them
now.
Granted
that's
bow
catcher.
It's
not
a
major
thoroughfare,
so
I
can
see
why
they
didn't
do
it
because
there's
never
been
any
up
there,
but
are
they
going
to
put
new
signs
up
telling
the
people
that
the
speed
limits
have
decreased.
C
That,
if
well
in
some
of
these
places,
there
weren't
speed
limit
signs
at
all,
so
they
are
going
to
post
them.
If
they
have
decreased,
they
were
supposed
to
put
new
signs
up
like
on
East
Street,
which
has
become
a
GPS
thoroughfare
from
Fairview
Road
down
to
Thompson
down
to
the
river,
because
it
goes
all
the
way
through.
There's
no
speed
limit
posted
and
now
they're
going
to
put
a
20
mile
per
hour,
sign
yeah.
E
C
C
So
the
a
good
portion
of
the
mmtc
meeting
was
a
presentation
by
a
group
that
is
I,
think
the
project
is
called
the
Aspire
project
and
it's
taking
I
guess
it's
still
in
proposal
phase,
and
you
might
be
able
to
finish
that
because
I
wasn't
there
I,
don't
know
what
the
end
result
that,
but
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
discussing
and
looking
at
all
kinds
of
fancy
Graphics
about
where
the
YMCA
and
Biltmore
Baptist
and
that
entire
piece
of
area
downtown
that
they
wanted
to
make
a
partially
residential,
partially
walkable
some
pedestrian
ways
to
me.
C
It
was
very
confusing.
There
was
a
lot
of
about
what
was
going
to
happen
and
how
it
would
change
the
landscape.
I
think
the
intention
was
to
get
the
mntc
on
board
because
it
would
have
increase
in
walkability
between
some
of
the
neighborhoods
across
that
section
of
downtown.
Apparently
they
are
in
collaboration
with
the
YMCA,
which
is
also
going
to
get
a
renovation
and
understanding
and
Bill
Moore
Baptists.
A
C
J
C
Because
it
would
be
black
views,
so
they've
cut
away
portions
of
buildings
so
that
you
could
see
through
here
they
have
a
couple
of
pedestrian
areas.
Some
are
going
to
be
private
and
some
are
going
to
be
public
and
at
least,
if
you
don't
have
anything
to
add
to
this
I,
don't
view
any
more
takeaways
from
that
presentation.
I
had.
E
B
E
Meeting
so
meaning
they're
doing
a
special
Planning
and
Zoning
meeting
just
to
talk
about
this,
so
what's
going
on
is
we
have
conditional
zoning
conditional
zoning
in
the
development
process
means
that
you
give.
The
developer
gives
a
general
overview
about
what
they
want
to
do
and
they
do
not
have
to
be
specific,
as
if
they
do
a
level
two
or
a
level
three
review
where
it
doesn't
go
to
council.
So
therefore,
they
have
to
meet
all
the
planning
and
development
criteria,
so
it
doesn't
have
to
get
reviewed
when
it's
a
conditional
zoning.
E
That
means
they're
they're,
not
having
a
lot
a
lot
of
times.
They're
asking
for
conditions.
I
can't
make
the
sidewalk
10
feet,
I
want
to
make
it
five
feet
in
all
these
conditions,
and
then
it
will
go
be
reviewed
after
it
goes
to
the
technical
review,
Planning
and
Zoning
in
any
other
development
process
that
has
to
go
through
ends
up
at
Council,
Council
abuse
it.
We
have
public
input
on
it
at
that
point
in
time
we
also
have
public
endpoint
input
of
planning
and
zoning.
E
What
they've
done
with
Aspire
is
they're,
taking
the
whole
development
as
a
conditional
zoning,
a
CZ
and
then
they're
going
to
face
it
in
three
phases
of
level
twos.
So
they're
going
to
go
with
all
these
things
that
they
can
and
cannot
do
and
then
that'll
go
to
council
and
then
it
will
come
back
in
phases
which
is
level
twos.
That
means
that
it'll
never
go
to
council
again
in
these
three
different
bases.
E
So
this
is
the
first
time
the
city
has
done
this
and
so
I
do
believe
they're
going
to
have
this.
In
my
opinion,
this
Planning
and
Zoning
meeting
to
meet
a
lot
of
questions
that
they're
trying
to
make
work
in
this
situation.
That's
very
intense
and
they
have
the
traffic
the
traffic
impact
study
done,
which
shows
a
whole
lot
of
traffic
they're,
making
a
couple
of
the
roads,
private
and
me
being
on
the
urban
Forester
commission.
E
My
issue
with
it
is,
and
they
brought
into
Easton
Valley
as
they
did
this
beautiful
rendering
and
they
came
to
us
and
they
brought
us
all
these
wonderful
ideas
and
pictures
and
drawings
that
they
did.
But
it
does
not
show
what
actually
is
going
to
be
done.
It
was
a
nice
rendering
it
was
beautiful,
but
it
wasn't
specific
to
what
it
really
was
going
to
look
like.
E
C
It
will
change
the
the
face
of
downtown
Asheville
and
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
how
we
as
the
neighborhood
advisory
Council,
would
like
to
be.
Could.
D
E
I
sent
an
email
to
my
point
of
contact
at
Easton
ballet
to
let
them
know
that.
There's
a
plan
in
a
zoning
meeting
regarding
this
because
they
came
to
us
and
we
had
a
whole
load
of
questions
and
their
response
to
that
is.
We
haven't
worked
it
out
yet
and
so.
Well,
some
people
in
my
neighborhood
go
to
ask
more
important
questions.
I
don't
know,
but.
E
So
when
you
go
in
sign
up
to
talk
whether
you
want
to
talk
or
not,
because
you'll
get
more
information
when
they
bring
it
to
planning
and
zoning,
and
when
you
get
more
information-
and
you
can
ask
smarter
questions
and
and
it's
worth
going.
J
E
And
they're
still
not
I
reviewed
it
through
the
technical
Review
Committee
through
my
volunteer
work
at
urban
forestry
commission
they're
still
not
telling
me
what
trees
they're
going
to
save
they're,
not
telling
me
what
trees
they're
going
to
put
in
they're,
not
sure,
yet
how
it's
going
to
go
and
they've
got
a
lot
of
questions
and
they
can
be
General
in
a
conditional
zoning
that
is
okay
with
our
development
process.
But
you
cannot
be
gentle
in
a
level
two.
You
have
to
know
how
many
trees
are
being
removed.
E
E
How
are
you
going
to
transition
and
they've
honed
it
down
considerably
to
where
it
is,
but
I
do
believe
the
special
Planning
and
Zoning
is
just
to
get
further
information
and
everybody
should
let
their
neighborhoods
know
what's
going
on
and
if
you've
never
done
it
before.
Just
to
watch
the
process,
Sharon.
E
5
PM,
June
21st
and
it's
and
the
name
of
the
development
is
called
aspire,
a-s-p-I-r-e
and
there's
a
tool.
That's
called
Simplicity
that
you
can
look
up
developments,
but
the
problem
with
Simplicity
is
you
will
not
get
the
technical
information
that
I
get
when
I
review
it
they'll
just
show
general
information
on
it.
C
This
question
might
be
for
and
I'm
not
sure
who,
at
the
city
level
I
just
don't
know,
sometimes
how
to
find
that
is
this
in.
Would
that
be
on
the
planning
and
zoning
page
of
that
committee
on
the
city
website
like
information
about
this
project?
If
people
wanted
to
look
at
the
rendering
and
look
at
those
yes.
C
D
E
E
I
printed
it
and
mostly
it's
what
they
presented
when
they
finally
gave
me
the
plan
for
the
trees
and
the
zoning
requirement
for
the
trees
I
had
to
hunt
through
it
through
all
of
the
material
they
submitted,
which
is
unusual
because
normally
I'll
just
get
a
plan.
But
I
had
to
Wade
through
35
pages,
to
look
for
it
a
little
tiny
print
that
I
had
to
to.
J
E
C
C
E
Was
my
complaint
just
don't
put
trees
on
the
rendering
that
are
not
going
to
be
there
when
I,
and
that
was
coming?
I
made
a
technical,
Review
Committee
do
not
Place
trees
or
Greenery,
where
trees
and
Greenery
are
not
going
to
be,
and
so
that's
where
well.
E
What
I
mean
because
part
of
the
development
process
is,
you
can
remove?
We
have
gotten
a
tree
protection
canopy
tree
canopy
protection,
where
you
get
credits
for
older
trees
and
incentivize
all
the
trees.
But
if
you've
got
to
put
a
driveway
there,
then
the
trees
come
out
and
so
they
and
then
they
had
to
put
back
a
percentage
of
trees.
But
it's
CBD
Central
Business
did
they
require
the
minimum
and
that's
why
the
large
Hotel
can
go
up
because
they're.
J
E
E
Real
quick
so
for
everybody
that
doesn't
know,
we
have
public
trees
and
we
have
private
trees.
Public
trees
are
city-owned
trees,
they
've
been
sitting
in
a
park,
they
can
be
on
a
city-owned
area
and
that's
maintained
by
public
works,
and
we
have
a
separate
chapter
for
that.
It's
called
chapter
20
and
then
private
trees
are
the
trees
that
we've
talked
about
that
are
at
Aspire
that
are
in
your
house.
E
Single
family
residences
are
not
geared
by
the
Udo,
but
over.
E
Properties
over
a
certain
size
then
have
to
fall
into
the
criteria
of
the
city
and
that
ordinance
is
set
in
11-3,
and
so
we
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
urban
forestry
commission
doing
the
tree.
Canopy
protection
amendment
to
protect
existing
trees,
because
in
our
old
way
of
doing
things
you
could
chop
everything
down
and
then
stick
a
twig
in
the
ground
and
call
it
a
new
tree
and
everybody'd
see
it.
E
J
B
E
If
there
is
something
actually
that's
wrong
with
this
tree,
it's
a
hazard
tree
and
so
we're
working
with
public
works
right
now
on
our
public
trees,
taking
old
language,
it
hasn't
probably
been
redone
and
I'm
going
to
guess
20
years,
we're
updating
it
we're
trying
to
give
the
incentivization
of
save
a
tree
if
you
can,
but
if
it's
hazardous,
let's
get
rid
of
it
now
you
know
we
kill
people
but
random
removal
and
work
with
Public
Works.
E
A
I
C
I
J
A
A
Well,
this
will
be
Peter's
last
meeting.
I
might
have
to
tie
you
up.
A
And
so
what
we'll
have
to
think
about,
too,
is
that
Sharon's
last
meeting
will
be
next
month,
so
we'll
have
to
think
about
a
vice
chair
until
we
get
ready
to
have
the
retreat
or
elections
or,
however,
that's
gonna
run.
So
that's
just
something
to
think
about
for
the
next.
For
the
next
meeting
for.
G
Can
I
just
say
that
it's
been
a
pleasure
serving
you
with
you
all
right
and
I
probably
owed
this
committee
more
than
bail
me
because
I
learned
so
much
better.
The
city
runs
and
instead
of
you
know,
sharing
and
you
you
should.
You
could
teach
a
course
sentiments
you
know,
and
so
it's
really
a
great
experience
and
yeah,
so
I've
been
got
involved
in
a
lot
of
other
things.
So
it's
a
good
time
all.
A
E
You
know
he
put
together
all
the
neighborhoods
or
they're
in
28805
and
gave
me
a
list
of
it.
I
said
I,
don't
all
in
28805
and
Peter
sat
down
and
went
through
all
the
boundaries
and
labeled
all
the
neighborhoods
and
there's
quite
a
few
of
them.
I
haven't
I,
think
there's
like
13
or
something
like
that.
E
28805,
so
thank
you
for
doing
that.
Let's
see
one
two,
three,
four:
five:
six:
seven,
eight
nine
ten
eleven
twelve
thirteen
fourteen
fifteen
sixteen
and
then
he
did
the
bordering
roads
that
also
have
non
-formal
name
so,
and
that
was
good
to
know
so
we'll
pass
that
on
to
whoever
gets
28805,
because
it's
tying
into
people
getting
involved
in
neighborhoods,
hey.
You
know
how.
A
A
J
A
A
C
Have
one
question
before
we
adjourn
with
this
new:
the
new
quarterly
appointments
for
committees?
Are
we
looking
at
June
or
July
before
we
get
new
members
or
because
I
know,
there's
some
openings
listed
right
now.
