A
And
it's
like
to
call

Asheville
City

County

Vice
chair
with

C

A
Have
a
couple
of
comments
for
those
first
first
thing:
we
have
an
audience
here
as
well
as
virtually
just
to
remind
you
and
at
the
end
there
is
a
q,
a
for
public
comment.
So
keep
that
in
mind.
Also,
in
my
regard
it
comments
to
you-
are
I've,
been
speaking
the
number
of
public
engagements
and
I'm
having
contacts
with
throughout
the
community.
A
Many
of
the
contacts
that
I'm,
having
are
cross-race
lines
white
folks
wondering
what
we're
talking
about
and
so
I'm
taking
delivery
to
talk
to
them
about
ideas
and
things
that
are
known
throughout
our
presentation,
because
our
presentations
we
have
for
allow
Mr,
Howard,
umaji
from
and
Cobra,
as
well
as
from
narc
as
well
as
Professor
darrity
from
Duke
I'm,
letting
them
know
the
things
that
we
are
hearing
and
they're
telling
me
about
things
that
they
are
wanting
to
do.
A
I'm
here,
ladies
to
speak,
for
the
commission
but
I'm
saying
to
you
that
I'm
encouraging
their
organizing
their
their
energies
as
as
ways
of
supporting
whatever
we
have
decided
to
do.
We
have
a
commission
and
we
as
a
community.
We
are
in
the
lead
of
this
another
speaker.
That's
coming
I
wanted
to
update
you
is,
is
happening
on
February,
the
28th.
We
are
not
sponsoring
this.
The
speaker,
the
speaker,
is
coming.
I
spoke
at
the
UNCA
through
a
faculty
development.
A
This
past
week
and
I
asked
them
to
to
consider
our
involvement
and
I
assumed
our
support
for
tomahici
codes
coming
here
on
February,
the
28th
in
person
and
I'm
arranging
us
to
be
there
so
kind
of
easy
coach.
If
you
can
put
that
in
your
calendar
on
February
the
29th
also,
there
will
be
points
in
this
meeting
for
your
input
and
your
comments
of.
If
you
have
not
looked
at
the
agenda,
please
look
at
the
agenda.
A
Look
to
be
participating
verbally
with
discussions,
and
the
third
thing
last
thing
before
we
move
on
is
this:
I
have
I
have
seen
a
facility
been
at
the
house,
so
I've
been
emailing
Etc
talking
to
facilitators
across
the
board.
Actually
you
all
are
working
harder
than
you
think.
I
know
that
it
feels
as
though
there
are
gaps.
But
what
you
are
doing
is
precedent.
Seven
and.
A
Speak
to
you
before
and
I
will
say
it
to
you
over
and
over
again
we're
blazing
New
Paths,
it's
going
to
be
difficult
and,
and
we
will
have
stops
and
starts,
but
your
hard
work
is
coming
through
in
that
the
ideas
that
I'm
seeing
come
across
the
board
are
ideas
that
we're
going
to
Bear
very
good
food
for
this
evening.
So
please,
like
give
you
encouragement
as
much
as
I
can.
What
does
that
thing?
A
The
packet
has
been
distributed
to
to
in
your
in
your
board
packet?
Are
there
any
amendments
to
the
agenda?
A
If
not
the
general
run
as
we
as,
as
you
see
it?
Thank
you.
So
you
can
approve
them
without
voting
if
we
decide
to
if
they
are,
if
there
are
Amendments
of
their
issues,
feel
free
to
bring
them
with
the
next
meeting
and
that
door
is
never
quite
closed.
A
Will
stand
is
improved,
has
they
been
distributed.
A
E
Absolutely
thank
you.
Mr,
chair
I'd,
like
to
first
start
by
introducing
a
new
member
of
the
tequity
team.
Christine
Edwards
is
hopefully
not
a
stranger
to
everyone.
She
worked
on
phase
one
of
this
project
in
the
listening
sessions.
E
The
the
next
item,
for
me
is
is
very
bittersweet
news.
Due
to
some
scheduling
conflicts
that
I
have
I'm
having
to
step
away
from
the
reparations,
work
and
really
hate
to
even
have
to
announce
this.
This
has
been
something
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
and
can't
believe
that
it's
been
over
a
year
working
on
this
project
and
would
just
like
to
take
just
a
point
of
personal
privilege.
If
you
all
will
indulge
me
for
just
a
minute.
E
I
want
to
just
thank
both
the
city
and
the
county
for
the
opportunity
to
work
on
such
a
historic
project.
Just
as
chairman
Mullen
was
just
mentioning
particularly
I'd
like
to
thank
County
Manager
Deborah
Campbell,
Brenda
Mills,
who
has
really
been
a
champion
for
this
work,
takisha
Wesley
from
the
county
and
her
team
that
has
provided
so
much
input
and
thought
leadership
as
well,
but
just
all
of
the
team
members
from
the
city
and
the
county.
E
It
has
truly
been
a
pleasure
working
with
with
everyone,
despite
the
structural
racism
that
has
brought
us
to
where
we
are,
as
acknowledged
in
both
of
the
resolutions.
I
think
that
there
is
a
lot
of
reason
to
be
extremely
help
hopeful
and
what
you
all
are
charged
with
developing
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
just
a
few
things
that
I
thought
about
in
preparation
for
even
making
this
announcement
I
thought
about
the
community
voice
during
the
public
input
period
that
helped
to
shape
the
composition
of
this
commission.
E
Originally,
we
had
more
appointments
by
the
council
and
the
Commissioners,
but
you
all
spoke
up
and
felt
that
there
needed
to
be
more
neighborhood
representatives
and
the
city
responded
and
really
happy
to
see
the
makeup.
That's
that's!
That's
a
part
of
this
commission
right
now,
I'm
also
thinking
about
some
of
the
comments
made
by
members
of
the
County's
team.
When
we
were
just
looking
at
membership
from
the
city
Only,
the
county
spoke
up
and
said
what
about
all
the
people
who
have
been
displaced
into
Buncombe
County
because
of
housing
costs.
E
They
don't
need
to
be
exclude
from
this
commission
and
once
again
everyone
responded
and
and
responded
in
a
manner
in
which
I
felt
was
the
right
thing
to
do.
The
attorneys
that
have
been
working
on
this
project
I've
really
been
impressed
by
the
fact
that
they
have
been
working
to
find
the
yes,
when
we
run
into
different
issues,
not
just
the
nose,
not
just
the
barriers.
The
reasons
why
we
may
not
be
able
to
do
certain
things
they
have
truly
been
looking
for
that.
E
Yes
and
I
really
feel
good
about
that
of
the
commitment
and
the
resources
that
the
city
and
the
county
have
brought
to
bear
on
this.
Also
Community
Partners,
like
RJC
I,
know
that
they
have
not
been
formally
connected
with
this
project,
but
they've
been
connected
with
this
project
and
I
know
that
there
are
discussions
to
see
how
we
can
really
formalize
more
of
those
connections
and
I
know
chairman
Mullen
and
vice
chair
little
had
been
really
focused
on
that
as
well,
and
really
feel
good
about
it.
E
We
have
had
folks
say
that
this
has
been
the
best
organized
project
that
they've
seen,
not
because
it's
perfect,
because
we
all
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
imperfection,
but
it
has
really
had
to
do
with
the
makeup
of
this
commission.
A
lot
of
groups
have
been
appointed
by
Governors
and
other
governmental
officials,
but
there
was
a
choice
to
have
folks
with
lived
experiences
folks
living
in
the
community
to
be
the
ones
to
develop
these
recommendations
and
that's
what's
being
celebrated
across
the
nation
right
now.
E
But
I
really
do
hope
and
pray
that
you
all
will
hang
in
there,
because
it's
too,
too
important,
as
you
all
have
already
articulated
and
as
you
already
know-
and
you
once
again
are
the
key
to
the
success
of
this
commission-
have
been
honored
to
work
with
chairman
Mullen
and
vice
chair
little
no
better
individuals
to
lead
this
effort
and
really
appreciate
that
leadership,
and
so
I
just
want
to
just
say.
Thank
you
just
in
closing,
and
you
know
I'm
just
going
to
add
one
more
plug.
E
You
know
because
the
city
will
be
determining
what
comes
next.
What
I
have
been
assured
is
that
everything
will
be
staying
in
place.
We
don't
want
to
disrupt
this
great
forward
momentum.
The
work
that
you
all
are
doing
with
the
work
groups
has
been
exceptional
and
I
can't
even
believe
that
I
just
skipped
over
another
important
point
and
that's
the
project
team.
If.
E
Stand
the
facilitators
that
have
been
working
on
this
under
Equity
I,
just
don't
know
what
we
would
have
done
and
you
all
already
know
this.
This
is
a
very
complicated
project
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we
appreciated
that
at
the
beginning,
but
these
folks
have
been
truly
committed,
passionate
wanting
to
make
sure
that
they
are
advocates
for
each
you
and
just
a
huge
thank
you
to
this
project
team
and
your
leadership
on
this
project
really
really
appreciate
you.
E
But,
as
I
was
saying,
you
know
strongly
recommend
Christine
Edwards
to
assume
the
leadership
role
in
this,
as
I
mentioned
before,
she
has
been
exceptional,
very
well
received
by
many,
and
just
hope
that
that
will
be
a
part
of
what
comes
next,
but
once
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
all
that
you're
doing
and
the
opportunity
to
work
with
each
other.
F
All
right,
thank
you
good
evening,
everyone
good
evening,
all
right
so
to
follow
that
I.
I
really
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
miss
Deborah,
Clark
Jones
for
the
opportunity
I
am
eager
to
get
to
know
each
and
every
one
of
you
I
know
that
there
are
probably
still
some
approvals
that
need
to
be
made,
but
I'm
happy
to
be
here
in
person
tonight
and
actually
meet
you
all
in
person.
F
I'm
not
going
to
be
before
you
too
long
today,
we're
going
to
move
into
our
survey
data
feedback,
but
before
that
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
I
have
had
a
chance
to
work
with
the
city
of
Asheville
in
2020
for
the
reimagining
Public
Safety
project
and
learned
a
lot
about
the
community
of
Asheville.
F
F
I
want
to
say
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
even
just
lend
a
hand
with
project
management
and
with
some
ideas
around
Community
engagement
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
chair,
and
the
vice
chair
call
Dr
mullet
on
the
phone
and
said:
hey
I
just
want
to
talk
to
you.
You
know
just
want
to
kind
of
get
to
know
one
another
and
it
it
may
be
someday.
He
will
invite
me
to
his
home,
but
we
can
just
chat.
F
F
So
just
I
want
to
learn
about
each
and
every
one
of
y'all
on
this
commission
who
else
with
the
with
the
ifas
I,
think
that
this
is
also
a
really
pivotal
time
to
be
sort
of
doing
this
transition
and
bringing
on
some
additional
capacity
to
help
because,
as
you
all
can
see,
there
are
a
lot
of
moving
Parts
So.
Speaking
of
the
impact
Focus
areas.
I'm
excited
that
you
all
will
be
hearing
from
them
today
and
really
learning
about
the
incredible
work
that
they've
been
doing
over
the
past
several
months.
G
F
Sort
of
situation,
because
the
foundation
has
been
laid
right,
I
think
it's
just
a
matter
of
getting
to
those
next
steps
of.
How
do
we
move
forward
with
these
ideas
and
recommendations?
So
I
really
do
I
really
do
hope
to
get
to
know
y'all
better,
and
so
what
we're
actually
going
to
do
is
look
at
some
of
the
survey
data
and
feedback
from
the
the
previous
two
meetings,
I
want
to
say
from
August
and
September
that
information
should
have
been
provided
to
you
in
your
packet.
F
Please
please
help
me
share
advice,
chair
I,
don't
know
how
this
group
in
terms
of
updates
and
questions
and
commentary
I,
don't
know
if
there
is
a
process
for
that,
but
what
I
will
do
is
I
will
go
through
this
information
and
if
there
are
questions,
please
let
me
know
all
right,
so
we
sent
out
information
from
the
August
15th
and
September
23rd
commission
meetings.
Of
course
all
you
all
know
there
is
a
survey
that's
sent
out.
The
question
was:
did
you
have
the
opportunity
to
express
your
ideas,
thoughts
and
opinions?
F
Happy
August,
Boutique
meeting
more
than
nearly
80
percent.
75
percent
responded
with
yes
and
25
responded
with
no,
but
do
be
mindful
that
on
this
document
it
shows
you
how
many
people
answered
so.
D
F
F
The
respondent
says
this
was
not
the
format
or
space
to
do
so.
Oftentimes,
depending
on
who's
speaking,
participants
are
cut
off,
and
we
also
have
this
open
comment
that
says
here
we
need
a
reset.
It
appears
that
we're
now
organized-
and
this
comes
from
the
top.
This
is
totally
new
for
all
of
us.
We
need
a
better
Direction,
so
we
hear
you
all
loud
and
clear.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
your
opinions
and
your
thoughts
in
the
room.
So
thank
you
for
sharing
that.
F
We
do
hear
you
loud
and
clear
another
on
this
second
question:
eight
people
responded-
and
this
question
asks
you
to
rate
your
overall
assessment
of
the
August
15th
meeting.
F
F
All
right,
there
are
some
open
comments
here:
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
all
of
them,
but
I
think
that
some
of
the
comments,
some
of
the
themes
that
are
are
coming
up
in
the
comments,
are
really
just
enjoying
the
guest
speakers,
and
so,
if
that's
something
that
you
all
want
to
continue
to
do,
then
please
do
let
us
know
in
the
survey.
If
oh,
is
that
not
the
comment,
it
was
not,
it
was
a.
It
was
a
comment
about
I
enjoyed
learning
about
speakers,
direct
experience
and
dealing
with
reparations.
F
So
if
you
all
have
suggestions
around
speakers,
please
do
let
us
know
we
want
to
share
with
you
okay
and
make
sure
I
read
this
correctly
from
the
next
question.
We
had
five
people
to
respond
to
this
open-ended
question
about
what
needed
Improvement
during
the
August
15th
meeting
more
participant
involvement,
more
I
wish.
We
had
more
time
to
reflect
on
the
speaker's
presentation,
more
data,
more
time
for
discussion,
commitment,
consistency
in
organization
I
think
to
to
respond
to
this.
F
What
you'll
see
in
tonight's
agenda
is
there's
going
to
be
more
time
to
hear
from
you
all,
there's
going
to
be
more
time
to
hear
from
members
of
the
commission
right
we'll
get
through
this
quickly.
Here,
five
from
the
August
15th
meeting,
oh
I'm,
sorry
question
five.
This
is
from
the
September
23rd
meeting
and
so
now
we're
going
to
the
next
meeting.
Did
you
have
the
opportunity
to
express
your
ideas,
thoughts
and
opinions?
100
responded!
Yes.
You
did
have
your
opportunity
to
express
your
ideas,
thoughts.
F
Overall
assessment
of
the
September
23rd
meeting
here
we
have
even
lower
number
of
moderately
satisfied,
but
we
do
have
25
percent.
That
said
that
they
were
very
satisfied,
so
any
indication
from
an
outsider
looking
in
it,
looks
as
though
the
September
23rd
meeting
just
overall
was
more
well
received
in
terms
of
hearing
people's
thoughts
and
opinions
open
in
the
comment
here
says:
I
think
that
the
agenda
for
the
meeting
was
prepared.
F
Well,
there
were
very
many
people
absent
for
it
to
be
as
effective
as
it
should
have,
and
then
another
comment
that
says
more
talk
and
tangential
discussion
leading
to
no
word
product.
So
it's
sounding
like
we
definitely
want
to
hear
results.
We
want
to
hear
responses
and
results
from
our
work
from
these
from
these
meetings.
F
All
right
and
we
have
here.
What
did
you
like
most
about
the
September
23rd
meeting?
As
you
can
see,
we
had
about
seven
people
to
respond
to
that.
As
you
can
read
here
some
of
the
comments
it
looks
as
though
people
were
ready
to
do
something
other
than
just
me
right.
What
is
that
action?
How
can
we
take
action?
Small
breakout
groups
help
breakout
groups,
comment
about
the
education
IFA
wanting
to
having
more
time
to
get
to
know
one
another
and
plan
the
next
action
steps
and
then
confirmation
that
data
is
needed
right.
F
Another
question
about
the
September
23rd
meeting:
what
needed
Improvement
and
what
are
your
suggestions
for
improvement
again?
We're
hearing
about
action,
steps
making
sure
that
we're
adding
those
action
steps
after
our
meetings,
so
that
these
meetings
aren't
productive
and
we
feel
as
though
we're
moving
forward,
and
we
are
moving
forward,
making
sure
that
we
do
a
recap
prior
to
departures.
F
Another
suggestion
is
fewer
discussions
or
get
to
know
your
meetings
and
more
data
and
recommendations.
So
I'm
hearing,
I'm
hearing
both
sides
here,
it's
good
to
get
to
know
one
another
and
get
all
your
ideas
out
on
the
table.
But
at
the
same
time
we
need
more
data.
We
need
to
actually
move
forward
on
those
recommendations
and
then
we
need
to
develop
a
more
concrete
plan
on
how
to
move
this
needle
forward.
So.
F
You
loud
and
clear
on
that.
Please
share
any
suggestions
for
future
agenda
topics.
You'd
like
to
be
considered
for
future
meetings.
This
is
the
last
question
and
three
people
answered
this
question
and
again
we're
seeing
the
same
theme
of
identifying
action,
items,
barriers
and
possible
resolutions,
effective
action,
steps
for
Community
engagement
so
that
the
commission
operates
under
the
same
guidelines
and
then,
of
course,
more
data.
So
these
are
the
results
from
the
last
survey
from
August
and
September
and
it
sounds
like
we
definitely
want
to
move
into
that
area
of
action.
F
How
can
we
take
action
from
what
the
IFA
work
groups
are
doing?
How
can
we
make
sure
that
we
have
a
plan
in
place
and
I
think
that
this
is
an
optimal
time
to
do
that?
We're
changing
our
Seasons
we're
coming
up
on
a
new
year?
So
if
you
would
allow
us
and
it'll
work
alongside
us
with
the
patients
that
you
have
provided
so
far,
we
would
be
happy
to
present
with
you
a
plan
for
next
steps.
I
I
It
disturbs
me
that
we
have
so
many
commission
members
and
only
eight
responded
and
I,
don't
know
who
they
who
holds.
You
know
who
all
responded,
but
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment.
If
we're
going
to
move
forward
as
a
commission,
everyone
that
sits
on
this
commission
needs
to
respond,
not
just
eight
people.
We
need
to
know
what
everybody's
thinking,
not
just
a
people,
how
many
of
those
on
their
Commission.
B
I
We
got
30
people,
that's
not
even
a
half
or
a
third
of
what
we
need.
We
need
people
to
tell
us
what
we
need
to
be
doing
or
what
they
want
from
the
commission
and
to
share
those
ideas,
and
this
is
the
most
important
way
to
do
it
secretive
nobody
else
knows
who's
who's,
saying
what
so
you
can
say,
whatever
you
want
to.
So,
if
you
can
just
respond,
maybe
somebody
can
answer
some
of
the
things
that
you're
not
hearing
or
you're,
not
getting.
B
So
hi
everyone
hey,
so
we
just
I
am
I'm
on
the
agenda
to
follow
up
on
the
September,
the
23rd,
Retreat
and
Community
engagement
opportunity,
but
I
want
to
start
and
open
it
up
for
our
commissioners.
We
just
heard
a
lot
of
information
concerning
this
shift
and
the
management
of
this
process
and
I
just
want
to
open
the
table
up.
But
if
people
have
concerns
comments
or
just
to
see
where
everybody
at
with
that
shift
and
the
information
y'all
just
received
I
think
yes,
that
is
my.
G
I'm
also
curious
I
wasn't
clear
like
what
the
response
is
to
the
numbers
and
the
feedback
that
we
do
have,
and
so
in
general,
in
processes.
When
we
ask
for
feedback,
I
think
it's
really
important
for
leadership
to
show
how
they're
responding
to
feedback
and
so
I'm
really
curious.
What
that's
going
to
look
like.
B
Okay,
anybody
else
any
questions
or
concerns
with
the
shift
in
management
in
reference
to
Deborah
no
longer
leading
this
project
and
Christine.
It
was
stepping
into
that
any.
K
I,
just
I
may
have
missed
an
email
but
I
feel
like
I
wish.
This
information
would
have
kind
of
came.
D
K
B
To
someone
else
to
come
in
so
from
my
understanding,
Brenda
want
to
answer.
Okay.
M
M
Basically,
the
contract,
the
current
contract
that
we
have
is
assignable.
That
means
that
if
the
company
is
bought
by
someone
else
or
they
decide
that
they
can
no
longer
do
it,
we
have
the
ability
to
assignment
now.
I
want
to
go
back
and
make
sure
you
understand.
We
did
a
rigorous
Outreach
process
for
an
RFP
to
look
for
this
management
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
every
one
of
the
respondes
was
either
a
woman
or
a
minority
owned
business.
Debra
was
the
top
both
getter.
M
She
got
hired
by
everybody,
so
we
were
excited
about
having
her,
especially
since
she
had
done
such
a
lot
of
work
over
the
last
10
to
15
years
in
Western
North
Carolina,
to
assign
the
contract
because
it
is
over
a
certain
amount
for
the
city
manager
to
sign.
We
will
be
going
back
to
City
Council
on
the
15th.
They
have
been
alerted
about
the
change
in
the
contract.
We
will
talk
to
them
this
week
and
then
we
will
go
to
Council
next
Tuesday
to
get
approved
for
the
contract.
M
B
Got
a
question:
I'm
sorry,
you
said
you
went
through
a
river
I,
remember
the
initial
last
summer
yeah
and
it
was
a
long
process.
So
I
understand
that
Dynamic,
but
were
any
of
the
other
people
who
who
submitted
for
this
RFP
organizations
of
color.
M
Oh
I,
don't
remember
her
name,
I'm,
sorry
yeah!
It's
public
I
can
send
that
to
you,
I
think
it
was
Brandi,
I
can't
say
her
name,
manzion
or
whatever
she
was
her
or
he
was
the
highest
number
amount
and
she
had
a
little
bit
less
experience
than
most
of
the
other
ones.
M
M
Christine
Knows
the
project
she's
been
here
she's,
just
going
to
step
in
and
you're
going
to
see
a
little
bit
more
of
her
because
Christine
I
hope
I'm,
not
speaking
out
of
turn.
This
will
be
her
main
project,
so
you
will
see
more
of
Christine
on
the
ground
here.
M
M
Did
the
Outreach
meetings
got
the
con
got
the
applications
in
and
then
we
were
able
to
get
those
through
and
get
all
of
you
seated
by
March,
and
that
was
an
undertaking,
because
typically
we
don't
get
a
lot
of
applications
for
boys
and
commissions,
so
we
really
had
to
do
a
lot
of
Outreach
and
I'm
glad
that
all
of
you
stepped
up
to
do
that
so
I
want
to
thank
you.
It's
been
great
working
with
Debra,
yes,
ma'am.
You
look
like
I.
Have
another
question.
M
M
A
When
it
felt
if
it
felt-
and
so
something
was
happening
with
facilitation
that
the
commission
I
think
needed
to
be
aware
of,
because
I
didn't
want
individual
members
to
think
that
they
were
the
ones
slacking
or
their
ifas
were
the
ones
right
and
this
transition
was
bumpy
and
I'm
I'm.
My
question
to
prevent
it
is
this
will
go
to
city
council
and
to
the
County
Commission.
N
M
A
You
we'll
we'll
know
of
any
serious
questions
that
they.
D
M
L
P
Is
it
to
assign
a
contract?
Is
that
it's
kind
of.
M
M
You'll
ask
me
so
if
you
think
about
it,
we
forgot
we
had
a
weather
event,
so
we
needed
to
have
a
retreat.
We
did
the
September
23rd
meeting
to
cancel
the
one
on
Saturday
and
then
the
following
we
wanted
to.
We
did
not
get
to
have
our
Retreat
as
city
and
county
staff
and
project
team,
because
a
storm
came
through
unversed,
so
we
took
that
opportunity
to
take
that
time
to
really
get
together
and
work
on
that.
This
was
not
part
of
that.
M
Q
H
P
M
Nothing
is
changing
except
the
owner
of
the
contract,
so
you
still
have
all
your
IFA
members.
That
is
the
stipulation
to
like
say.
For
instance,
we
chose
another
company
that
would
have
been
the
stipulation
we.
We
don't
need
to
lose
any
more
momentum
and
I'm
assuming
you're
happy
with
your
ifas
right.
So
we're
not
moving
there
they're
amazing,
and
so
it
was
hard
to
even
get
them
to
agree
to
do
that
with
the
time
and
constraints
that
we
have,
but
we're
not
changing
anything
except
the
owner
of
the
contract
for
project
management.
M
That's
it
so
Christine
will
assume
it
with
her
business
ability,
localized
and
then
you
will
have
all
of
the
same
facilitators
all
of
the
same
stuff.
What
you're
going
to
see
is
because
this
is
a
main
project
for
Christine
you'll,
see
her
more
on
the
ground,
doing
more
meeting
with
the
IFA
members
and
meeting
with
you
as
well.
B
M
B
B
I
mean
like
we
really
have
no
say
in
it
at
all,
so
I'm,
just
trying
to
figure
out
like
where's
our
place
and
are
they
even
concerned.
If
we
even
had
a
voice
in
this
decision
or
a
night,
you
know
what
I
mean
because
I'm
sure
it
wasn't
like
one
day.
It
happened
and
it
was
just
over
it
and
it
just
happened,
and
we
made
this
crushed
decision
because
it
was.
B
M
M
M
What
you
need
as
a
commission
is
someone
who
can
focus
on
this
as
much
as
they
can
without
having
other
you
know,
other
encumbrances
that
keep
them
from
being
here,
so
I
think
Council
I,
know
Council
does
care
about
what
you
think
I
also
think
they
they,
because
we
hired
project
management,
because
this
is
a
big
project.
It's
way
big
right,
and
so
the
continuity
is
important.
M
M
Government
there's
weather
that
happens,
but
yeah,
but
this
is
a
contractual
agreement
and
Council
has
the
last
say
on
that.
Our
governor
Gordon.
B
L
Make
sure
that
I
understand
what
you,
what
the
process
is,
the
the
Deborah
Jones
and
her
contract
was
before
all
of
this
was
formed,
so
you
get
her
contract
set
all
this
up
right.
That
was
why
we
didn't
have
a
we
did.
The
commission
had
not
been
informed
right,
so
that
means
that
someone
had
to
be
there
for
the
starting
point
to
organize
that.
M
L
So
that's
why
we
didn't
have
a
voice
in
that
because
we
were
not
established
is
am
I
correct
with
that
yeah
yeah.
So
now
the
thing
that
I
want
to
say
now
is
that
I
would
hope
that
we're
not
blindsided
anymore,
because
I
think
that
that's
maybe
something
that
people
are
feeling
right
now,
not
everybody,
but
some
people,
because
I
would
have
rather
have
gotten
an
email
about
your
transition
than
to
be
sitting
here
in
a
public
comment,
and
we
didn't
know
anything
until
we
just
got
here
and
we
have
to
absorb
that.
L
That's
taking
up
a
lot
more
time
just
in
that
process,
because
we
did
it
was
like
real
blindsighted.
So
I
think
that
we
as
a
commission
I,
think
that
we
have
other
things
that
we
probably
need
to
to
focus
on,
because
we
got
to
get
the
work
done.
So
I
don't
want
I,
don't
want
us
to
take
a
lot
of
time
with
just
what
ifs,
what
nots
and
because
we
we're
ready
to
work.
I.
L
Think
that's
what
I
think
that
if
I'm
not
mistaken
people
just
mind
your
hand,
if
you
read
it
to
work
because
I
think
that
you
know
time
is
winding
down
we're
coming
to
the
end
of
the
year
and
we've
got
to
have
something
to
show.
But
if
we
keep
going
it's
kind
of
disappointing
with
the
transition
we're
seeing
someone
that
I've
never
seen
you
before
so
I,
don't
know
you,
and
so
it's
like
it
was
like
thrown
on
us
all
of
a
sudden.
We
came
in
and
had
a
good
meal
and
we
sitting
down
now.
M
I
M
Let
me
help
Bobby.
Let
me
help
there
are
things
that
we
just
can't
go
out
in
the
public
and
talk
about
this
contract
was
between
the
city
of
Asheville
and
Deborah
card
Jones.
So,
first
of
all,
we
have
to
talk
to
Deborah
and
see
where
she
is
then
I
had
to
talk
to
Christine.
Who
did
not
have
to
take
this
reassignment
right.
M
We
could
have
had
to
you
know,
go
back
out
for
bid
or
maybe
get
one
of
the
art
piece
from
the
last
time,
which
would
have
started
us
over
Deborah
and
Deborah
Campbell
and
Rachel
Wood
spent
last
week
talking
to
all
the
council
people
so
that
we
can
come
today
and
tell
you
instead
of
you
finding
out
next
Tuesday
at
the
meeting.
M
R
D
R
A
little
nervous
when
you
were
speaking
honestly
and
so
as
long
as
we
have
our
wonderful
project
managers
in
place,
you
know
we
can
continue
to
move
forward
and
that's
what's
important.
S
I'd
like
to
ask
in
the
mindset
of
kind
of
blindsided
that
transition
is
completely
understandable
and
how
it
had
to
be
handled
and
and
all
of
that,
from
the
commission's
perspective.
Each
of
us
sets
aside
time
and
a
commitment
for
for
the
meetings
once
a
month
and
when
a
meeting
is
canceled
and
we're
not
favored
with
an
explanation,
and
then
we
have
a
situation
where
we
don't
understand
the
transition,
even
though
it's
explained
well
now
we
didn't
understand
the
transition.
M
To
feel
that
it
was
important
to
tell
us
why
well
I
do
I
will
apologize
for
that,
because
I
typically
don't
email,
you
that's
the
project,
manager's
job,
you
got
an
email.
You
did
not
get
an
explanation
until
I
do
apologize,
you
will
get
explanations
in
the
future,
I'm
just
glad
to
know
you're
reading
your
emails.
P
Yes,
sir,
just
another
question:
I
can
appreciate
all
the
comments,
this
Mays,
Richardson
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
You're,
definitely
reassuring
us
on
the
city's
commitment.
Can
we
hear
from
the
account
Apartments
raise
your
legs
about
the
County's
commitment.
D
M
You
like
well
I
want
to
say
that
we
have
a
lot
of
our.
We
have
a
lot.
This
is
a
big
project.
It's
a
lot
of
hard
work.
M
I
also
want
to
remind
you
that
a
lot
of
your
work
is
not
done
in
a
board
meeting
for
two
hours.
A
lot
of
your
work
is
done
and
your
impact
focused
area
meetings.
M
The
attorneys
will
start
coming
to
your
meetings,
to
kind
of
talk
with
you
about
your
recommendations
and
how
they
may
be
able
to
help
or
support
you
with
those
we
we
don't
want
to
say
no,
we
want
to
get
you
to
yes
right
and
then,
if
you
need
other
help
as
you're
going
forward
with
your
ifas
we're
here
to
support
you
in
that.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you,
so
my
update
is
brief.
On
the
23rd
meeting,
we
heard
the
survey
results
from
the
same
third,
and
so
the
23rd
meeting
was
supposed
to
get
to
know
each
other
just
says:
Brenda
just
said
that
we
will
be
we
we
trusting
each
other.
We
trust
in
these
committees
and
we
not
no
one
of
us
can
be
on
every
Community.
B
You
know
what
I
mean,
and
so
it
has
to
be
a
certain
level
of
trust
when
recommendations
come
before
us
as
a
commission,
and
so
that
meeting
was
to
build
relationship
like
I
know
your
name
I
know
some
of
y'all
personally,
some
of
y'all
not
know
professionally,
but
we
Rip
but
I,
don't
know
all
y'all
and
we
don't
all
know
everybody
on
this
commission
to
a
degree.
What
is
the
level
of
trust,
and
so
the
retreat
was
to
build
trust.
B
It
wasn't
an
action
or
it
didn't
necessarily
action-oriented
meeting,
because
we
wanted
to
also
have
made
space
to
hear
from
Community,
because
our
community
engagement
in
this
process
has
in
some
focus
groups.
It's
great.
The
community
sits
at
the
table
and
we
haven't
figured
out
how
to
unify
this
and
that'll
be
another
conversation
later
on
in
the
agenda.
B
But
we
wanted
to
have
the
opportunity
where
Community
could
actually
be
at
the
table
with
us
and
having
those
conversations
and
being
able
to
touch
on
their
concerns
and
their
voice,
because
that's
who
we
represent,
we
don't
represent
ourselves
at
this
table.
We
represent
the
black
community
as
a
whole
and
so
as
much
input
and
connection
that
we
can
feel
amongst
ourselves.
B
So
it's
that
level
of
trust
that
I'm
gonna
be
like,
say,
I'm
on
a
criminal
justice
team,
so
just
say,
criminal
justice
came
up
and
we
gave
our
group
recommendations
for
the
full
commission
of
vote
on
for
it
to
proceed
to
the
next
level.
I
want
y'all
to
trust
them
and
we
did
our
due
diligence
in
doing
the
research
and
coming
up.
You
know
what
I
mean.
B
I
had
like
it
was
beautiful,
just
sent
everybody
that
was
there
in
the
community
that
came
out
and
engaged
in
the
conversations
and
got
to
go
around
to
the
different
tables
and
be
a
part
of
that
conversation.
It's
a
lot
of
skills
and
talents
in
our
community.
It's
a
lot
of
expertise
that
could
be
beneficial
to
this
process
for
all
of
us,
and
so
it
was
good
just
to
have
that
time
and
spend
with
Community
to
actually
hear
from
them
and
not
us
be
always.
B
You
know
me
and
our
focus
groups
we're
the
ones
talking
we're
the
ones
making
those
decisions,
but
it
relieves
a
little
bit
of
weight
when
you
know
that
you
got
buy-in
from
the
community,
and
so
that
was
the
purpose
of
that
I
thought
it
went
great
I
heard
y'all
reviews
it
wasn't
for
it
to
be
specifically
on
action,
making
moves.
It
was
about
listening
to
our
community
like
taking
the
time,
because
when
I
asked
and
I
focused
area
groups,
we
are
about
action.
B
I
know,
I
was
this,
did
keep
us
on
the
road
she's
gonna
be
playing
with
us.
You
know
what
I
mean
and
so
empty.
Like
I
like
I
know
that
I
love
this
area
groups
are
doing
a
lot
of
hard
work,
and
that
was
a
way
for
us
all
to
come
together
and
actually
engage
with.
The
community
have
some
conversations
most
of
the
focus.
B
There's
people
still
working,
you
know
I'm
saying,
and
but
you
got
feedback
from
other
people
in
the
community
with
experiences
that
we
might
not
have
at
this
table,
and
so
that
was
the
purpose
of
that.
But
it
was
great
to
me
and
I,
hear
y'all
comments
and
we
will
be
more
structured
moving
forward
on
if
you
know
what
I
mean,
but
we
will
have
those
moments
to
live
and
Trust,
because
we
need
to
not
advice.
Yes,
sir,
all
right.
T
J
Is
that
we
talk
a
lot,
but
we
don't
do
a
lot
and
we
got
people
out
there
who
are
looking
at
us
who
are
been
here
all
their
lives
and
have
suffered
more
so
than
most
people
and
endured
it
in
silence,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
to
use
data
to
inform
every
decision
and
recommendation
because,
as
you
all
know,
we
are
a
litigious
Society,
and
so
it
is
just
very
uncommon
that
everything
we
do
be
predicated
upon
data
and
I'll
stop
there,
because
I
have
some
comments.
That'll
follow
down
the
line.
B
B
Go
ahead.
Brad.
M
A
On
the
agenda
I'm
asking:
does
it
make
more
sense
in
terms
of
changing
the
agenda
that
normally
old
business
perceives
new
business
and
I'm
wondering
since
we're
talking
about
the
focus
areas
and
vice
chair
and
little
has
in
four,
if
it
makes
sense
to
go
directly
to
Old
business
and
then
come
back
to
the
business?
There's
no
objection
can
we
does
that?
Maybe
we
proceed.
B
All
right,
so
oh
business
of
our
Focus
area
work
groups.
This
is
the
book
time,
so
we've
had
the
discussion
around
well.
We've
been
me
in
unofficially.
B
Unofficially
and
I
focus
here
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
and
things
have
been
moving
within
our
different
focused
area
groups,
and
so
I
would
like
to
take
this
time
to
establish
formally
establish
those
groups.
We
will
need
to
have
a
conversation
on
community
engagement
in
reference
to
the
groups.
B
We
do
want
to
be
on
on
the
same
page
as
far
as
how
the
groups
move,
because
it
will
be
formally
a
public
stamped
once
you
make
this
vote,
and
so
in
reference
to
community
engagement,
how
we
choose
to
engage
in
community
and
great
and
get
engaged
with
the
community
within
our
focus
into
the
groups.
So
some
groups
have
Community,
sits
at
the
table
and
is
able
to
engage
in
the
conversation
and
it's
very
fluid.
Some
groups,
Community
can
sit
and
listen.
B
They
have
public
comment
at
the
end,
something
similar
to
this
meeting
and
some
groups
are
just
trying
to
figure
it
out.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is.
B
So
with
that
being
said,
does
anyone
have
any
comments
on
on
any
comments
on
what
community
engagement
would
then
not
focus?
Zero
groups
can
look
like.
First
of
all,
oh.
J
I
I
was
just
thank
you
for
recognizing
me.
My
vice
chair,
I,
didn't
mean
to
speak
out
of
turn,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
has
been
pretty
precarious
and
all
over
the
place
we
have
not
yet
established.
You
can't
bring
community
in
when
you
do
not
know
what
your
direction
is,
nor
what
data
sets
you
are
involved
with.
We
have
not.
J
There
have
been
some
data
submitted
by
myself
and
a
couple
of
other
people,
replete
with
budgets,
suggested
programs
Etc
that
we
sent
out
to
some
of
our
IFA
chairs,
and
we
have
done
that.
But
the
thing
about
that
is
is
that
when
you
start
talking
Community
engagement,
you
need
to
be
fairly
structured
in
bringing
people
in
to
let
them
know
exactly
what
they're
dealing
with
and
we
haven't
had.
Proper
data
sets
even
to
do
that
now.
J
We're
not
trying
to
dominate
and
have
a
top-down
discussion,
but
certainly
we
need
to
have
some
program
is
of
data
that
we're
dealing
with.
That
are
pertinent,
even
if
we
have
to
use
experts
to
interpret
the
data,
what
it
means
and
then
teach
that
data
to
folks,
and
then
they
can
come
back
with
their
lived
experience
and
so
forth
to
contribute
and
they'll
know
exactly
what
we're
talking
about.
J
So
I
don't
know
if
that
makes
sense.
But
if
you
don't
have
data
to
operate
with,
and
you
don't
have
specific
items
that
you
go
over
and
have
ready
for
the
community
so
that
they
can
kind
of
get
an
idea,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
be
all
in
the
end
off,
but
certainly
it
needs
to
be
something
tangible
and
Based
on
data.
That's
all
I'm
saying
thank
you.
G
G
May
not
have
them
yet
and
I
understand
that
that
information
has
been
shared
with
at
least
some
of
the
leadership
and
so
I'm
hopeful
to
see
movement
on
that.
What
I
was
curious
about
was
the
global
work
group.
What
happened
with
that?
I
know
that
was
the
group
that
was
discussed
as
being
a
group
to
discuss
Community
engagement
and
bring
it
to
this
whole
group.
So
would
love
to
hear
an
update
about
that.
E
E
Sorry,
but
the
concern
was
the
establishment
of
yet
another
meeting
if
you
will,
and
so
what
we
have
just
discussed
internally
is
is
looking
at
assigning
those
topics
to
existing
work
groups,
and
there
were
two
topics
that
had
been
presented.
One
was
around
Community
engagement.
We
talked
about
that
being
assigned
to
education.
E
Second
topic
that
was
presented
was
looking
at
an
independent
fund
for
reparations,
and
we
thought
that
the
economic
development
work
group
might
be
best
suited
just
to
have
those
discussions
and
to
really
do
the
due
diligence.
That's
that's
necessary
in
both
of
those
areas,
and
so
that's
something
that
was
discussed
in
October
to
see
if
we
can
go
ahead.
E
E
L
L
I've
got
to
say
that
sometimes
Avenue
and
I
know
some
other
people
may
feel
the
same
way
and
it's
like
the
information
is
not
going
further
for
what
we
have
already
said
that
we
would
Implement,
and
so
it's
kind
of
disappointing
to
us,
because
it
feels
like
we
haven't
done
anything
and
we
asked
for
certain
things
to
come
back
to
us
and
the
people
that
would
support
the
person
or
the
people
were
supposed
to
do
it.
It
did
not
come
back
to
us.
L
All
of
that,
but
we
cannot
seem
to
get
a
loafers
when
we
need,
and
we
know
that
we
need
to
move.
We
know
what
we
need
to
do,
but
it's
like
we've
been
sat
there,
we've
not
had
that
format,
and
so
every
time
we
come
it's
like
even
what
I
focus
group
so
I'm
encouraging
you
all
to
come
tomorrow
night,
because
we
have
our
focus
group,
because
we.
L
Know
everything
looks
good
as
we
sit
around
this
table,
but
I'm
just
going
to
be
honest,
we're
ready
to
work,
but
then,
when
we
come,
we
don't
have
a
guideline
to
where
to
work
from
and
the
things
that
we've
asked
for.
We
haven't
had
them,
so
we
need
that
so
that
we
can
say
we're
doing
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
so.
I
I
would
like,
and
it's
no
blame
that
anybody
is
I'm,
not
blaming
I'm.
Just
saying
this
is
a
commission.
This
is
a
process.
L
L
Here
are
lived
here
for
over
20
or
30
years.
We
know
what
that's
like.
We
know
what
it
feels
like,
but
we
have
to
have
somebody
just
talking
to
us
when
we
ask
for
something
we
can
get
that
and
we
can
move
forward
because
we
know
where
we
need
to
go.
It's
just
that.
We
don't
get
the
information
going
where
it
needs
to
go
to
come
back
to
the
center.
N
B
V
I
think
there
has
to
be
consistency
around
who's
at
the
table.
When
recommendations
are
coming
forth,
some
groups
I've
been
to
everyone's
open
to
sit
down
on
tables
with
commissioners.
Other
dupes
I've
been
in
just
the
Commissioners.
Are
there
and
no
one
else
can
chime
in
so
I
think
that
there
has
to
be
consistency
around
who
is
at
the
table
to
make
recommendations,
and
then
we
have
to
Define
what
community
is
when
we
have
Community
engagement?
B
So
I
think-
and
hopefully
my
chair-
supports
this
Vision
I-
think
that
we
should
definitely
formulas
the
focus
area
groups
at
this
meeting
and
the
conversation,
because
we
have
had
some
valid
statements
made
around
not
getting
information
and
the
data
and
the
things
that
people
are
requesting
back
and
that's
something.
Definitely
the
team
tickety
team
is
still
technically
okay.
B
The
equity
team
hopefully
can
get
us
some
answers
to
and
and
kind
of
through
that
process
forward,
because
I
know
yes,
we
a
lot
of
people
have
submitted
for
data
and
different
things
like
that,
and
then
we're
tested
with
making
our
recommendations.
But
we
need
the
data
in
order
to
support
the
recommendation
that
we
made
so
hopefully
the
technology
team
will
support
and
getting
the
information
for
us
whatever.
However,
it
falls
out
it
just,
and
so
let's
do
the
vote
to
formalize
our
groups.
N
B
N
Multiplication
we're
not
going
to
eat
anything
and
that's
something
we
don't
have
why
I
mean.
Please
do
not
take
this
person,
but
Dr
Mullins.
Why
would
every
a
decision
is
made
between
you
and
city
council
member?
Why
are
the
facilitators
not
let
in
on
this
so
that
they
can?
Let
us
know:
what's
going
on
I'm,
just
I
just
want
a
little
communication,
yeah,
all
right,
I'm,
sorry,
I
totally
agree
with
you.
A
S
Could
I
could
I
ask
if
what
you
guys,
what
everybody
thinks
about
this
we're
set
up
in
in
various
groups,
and
each
group
is
comprised
of
five
six
as
many
as
10
people
is
anyone
else.
Besides,
myself
believe
that
it
might
be
helpful
if
out
of
each
group,
everything
was
singular
voice.
A
singular
spokesperson
that
speaks
on
behalf
of
the
group
to
cut
down
the
verbiage
so
that
if
there's
a
group
of
housing.
B
S
Could
step
forward
in
each
case
to
to
kind
of
put
forward
what
each
group
is
doing?
What
each
group
needs,
what
each
group
isn't
getting,
that
they
requested
and
have
that
singular
voice,
begin
the
process,
and
then
we
expand
back
out
to
the
group,
because
a
lot
of
people
are
requesting
the
same
things
and
rightfully
so,
and
if
they,
if
there
was
a
voice
that
could
could
could
take
over
and
say.
S
Okay,
for
example,
D
has
made
it
clear
that
we
need
a
comprehensive
study
and
understanding
of
the
data
that
pertains
to
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
and
and
unless
we
are
approaching
it
from
that
database.
S
Intellectual
approach
we're
really
not
getting
anywhere
and
we're
just
having
conversations
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
do
we
cut
down
on
the
verge
get
to
to
the
needs
of
each
group
and
and
get
those
needs
addressed
and
make
sure
that
someone's
being
held
accountable,
whether
whoever
is
intended
to
provide
us
with
the
research
is
doing
so
in
a
timely
fashion
and
each
time
they
tell
us
what's
going
to
happen
soon.
What's
going
to
happen
next
time?
Well,
eventually,
that's
just
not
good
enough.
O
To
what
she
said,
everybody
has
a
sports
person,
but
the
wish
what
the
issue
as
I
know,
I'm
seeing
and
everybody
else
has
seen.
I
worked
in
yeah
I
asked
for
data
a
long
time
ago.
You
know
way
back
in.
When
did
we
start
June
July
somewhere
around
somewhere
around
here
I
had
asked
for
my
information
way
back
then
and
I
still
haven't
got
it
and
I
went
directly
to
a
person
that
I
knew
that
they
can
find
out,
and
then
you
know
we
had
emails
back
and
forth.
Back
and
forth.
O
Went
to
this
person
went
to
this
person
watch
this
person
and
then
we
get
papers
that
we
have
to
fill
out
the
sentence
requesting
this
stuff-
and
you
know
I
guess
the
thing
about
it
is
having
a
Pursuit.
You
know
having
each
person
and
we
go
to
this
person.
Who
is
the
person
we're
actually
going
to
go
to
and
ask
for
this
information
when
they
probably
have
to
get
it
from
somebody
else?
O
So
I'm
at
health
and
wellness
and
I've
been
asking
for
birth
stuff
in
Buncombe
County,
just
in
Brooklyn
County
on
Kansas
and
I
have
not
got
one
thing.
One
thing
and
I
have
gone
to
the
register
of
deeds
and
I
have
gone
to
this
place
and
I
have
gone
to
that
place.
I've
sent
emails
back
and
forth
so
whether
we
have
a
one
particular
spokesperson
in
our
group
or
not
and
they're
still
asking
for
that
information
they're
not
going
to
get
it
so
we're
still
sitting
here,
waiting
for
Stuff.
O
O
O
O
Request
because
Bethany,
like
I,
said
we
all
need
data
and
we
all
can't
get
data,
because
we
all
can't
finish
our
group
and
data
data
data.
Whatever
the
word
you
want
to
call
it.
That
is
the
main
focus.
What
we
need
right
now
and
it
just
tease
me
off
so.
X
O
B
M
M
Other
things
are
data
that
come
from
other
organizations
and
then
some
things
have
to
be
researched
and
if
we,
if
it's
a
research-
and
we
won't
take
us
months
and
months
to
do
it-
we
will
do
it
so
I
have
all
the
requests
we're
supposed
to
meet
this
week
and
you'll
have
a
response
by
the
end
of
the
week
about
where
your
data
request
is
now
I.
Don't
remember,
it's
a
lot
is
hers
there,
because.
W
O
O
O
Name
is,
and
so,
and
we
just
got
this.
B
So
so
I
request.
W
Y
W
B
B
T
B
Moved
here
a
second
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
of
establishment
of
our
Focus
area
groups.
F
Can
I
make
a
comment
so
that,
now
that
we
have
established
those
IFA
work
groups
is
now
the
time
that
we're
going
to
hear
from
them.
N
B
We
move
to
that
part
yeah,
that's
what
we
was
just
so
we
asked
that
the
IFA
facilitating
moderators
present
on
just
the
update,
a
brief
update
of
where
each
IFA
is
right.
Now,
I.
F
Do
want
to
also
just
say
with
the
interest
of
time
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
between
seven
to
ten
minutes
and
as
you're
listening,
you
will
hear
some
of
the
same
themes
about
the
data
requests
about
communication
and
Community
engagement.
So
I
just
want
you
all
to
hear.
What's
been
going
on
in
these
groups,
you
all
have
been
participating
and
we
also
have
just
some
guidance
around
these
updates
in
future
meetings.
We
definitely
want
to
get
these
updates
on
paper
so
that
you
can
review
them.
F
It'll
be
more
standardized,
but
for
today,
they're
going
to
be
verbal
verbally
presented
to
you,
I,
don't
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
particular
order,
but
I
can
see
Miss
Miss,
Dion,
Greenleaf
Jones
here
so
I
want
to
put
some
parameters.
Oh
here's,
the
order,
we're.
F
So
yeah
and
we're
going
to
suggest
three
to
five
minutes
in
the
interest
of
time,
so
we're
going
to
start
with
criminal
justice
and
just
some
parameters
around
your
update.
If
you
can
present
your
name,
the
name
of
your
group,
the
meeting
daytime
and
location
in
which
you
meet,
let
us
know
what's
working
what
needs
Improvement
and
if
you
could
just
provide
a
high
level
description
of
some
of
the
recommendations
that
your
IFA
has
developed
so
far
work
s.
W
W
I
didn't
want
to
come
up
here
and
talk
about
what
I
thought
was
working,
so
I
got
with
my
group
and
asked
them
what
they
thought
was
working
well
within
our
group
and
what
I
received
was
everyone
is
still
here.
People
are
willing
to
put
in
the
work.
Meetings
are
effective
and
we're
beginning
to
speak
about
immediate
recommendations.
W
That
fit
the
group.
The
public
is
not
involved
disparate
treatment
within
groups
when
it
comes
to
members
of
the
group
and
not
getting
data
or
inadequate
data,
and
then
some
of
the
recommendations
and
I
want
to
preface
this
by
saying
that
they
have
shared
recommendations,
but
we
have
not,
as
a
group,
been
able
to
speak
about
our
recommendations
and
talk
about
what
this
looks
like
so
I'm
just
going
to
bring
up
a
couple
of
them.
W
Some
just
immediate
recommendations
is
immediate
release
of
unjustly
incarcerated
or
imprisoned.
Black
people
on
crimes
based
in
AVL,
changing
or
rewriting
laws
used
to
unjustly
incarcerate
people.
Scholarship
fund
for
black
youth,
getting
rid
of
the
fees
for
I'm
sorry
hold
on
just
a
second
that
popped
down
for
treatment
Courts
for.
W
B
H
Brown
I'm
the
facilitator
for
economic
development
I
want
to
thank
the
leadership
of
The
Economic
Development
Group,
who
has
been
meeting
at
least
monthly,
the
first
Thursday
of
every
month
at
the
Burton
Street
Community
Center,
sometimes
more
than
monthly,
because
they
really
see
the
urgency
of
talking
about
Economic,
Development,
Small,
Business,
Development
wage
disparity,
the
bigger
Economic
Development
projects
that
happen
here
in
Asheville
that
black
businesses
and
contractors
have.
H
Some
of
the
issues
that
they've
raised
so
members
of
our
group
are
here
tonight,
might
want
to
thank
them
all
for
their
leadership
and
hope
that
next
time
they'll
be
speaking
instead
of
me
about
likes,
the
law
said
what
they
think
is
important,
what
they
think
is
working
and
all
of
that,
so
we
have
Mr
Barton.
H
You
can
see
everyone
Miss
Jones,
Mr,
olipine,
Mr,
Richardson,
Ms,
Waters,
Ms,
D,
Williams,
Mr,
MC
yahuda
has
cited
a
couple
times,
which
we
appreciate
a
lot
Miss
Stephanie,
Lee
and
Dr
tamari
make
it.
H
We
have
submitted
data
request,
I
think
back
in
August.
One
of
the
first
things
that
we
noted,
as
Mrs
Williams
and
others
has
said,
was
the
need
for
data
around
disparities
in
black
business
ownership
in
Contracting
with
the
city
and
county
and
land
ownership,
which
they've
identified
as
really
important
as
a
baseline
for
developing
recommendations.
It
might
just
start
my
timer,
so
I
would
know
how
long
I'm
talking
because
I
can
tend
to
talk
more
than
I
need
to.
H
So,
if
somebody
wants
to
tell
me
to
shut
up,
I
will
one
of
the
first
things
we
also
did.
I
came
to
the
first
meeting
prepared
to
facilitate
around
Harm's
done,
Community
reparations
as
a
first
point
of
discussion,
but
some
of
the
feedback
from
that
first
meeting
was
that
commission
members
know
what
the
harms
are
and
we
don't
want
to
start
with
the
Farms.
H
We
want
to
start
with
what
proposals
you
want
to
see
as
Solutions,
so
I
pulled
out
the
harms
that
are
already
listed
in
the
city
and
county
Recreations
resolutions
related
to
Economic
Development,
which
there
are
a
lot
listed,
that
the
city
and
county
participated
in
the
destruction
of
several
successful
black
communities.
Black
neighborhoods
here
in
Asheville
that
the
city
and
county
participated
in
the
sanctioning
of
enslaved
people
in
the
slave
trade.
Things
like
that,
so
we
started
with
those
that
are
already
listed
and
then
moved
towards
recommendations.
H
So
some
of
the
recommendations
that
we
started
to
discuss
are
business
incubators
in
historically
black
neighborhoods
Mr.
Barton
has
pointed
out
that
this
is
something
that
was
included
in
an
original
neighborhood
plan
that
the
Burton
Street
Community
developed
themselves
with
what
they
wanted
to
see.
Parts
of
that
neighborhood
plan
were
adopted
into
the
city
of
Asheville
plan
for
Burton
Street
neighborhood,
but
one
thing
that
was
not
included
in
the
city's
version
of
the
accepted
plan
is
an
incubator
in
Burton,
Street
I
know.
Shiloh
Community
also
has
a
GoFundMe
up.
H
That's
publicly
now
publicly
posted
now
that
has
a
similar
request
for
funding.
That
includes
a
small
business
incubator,
so
that
was
one
of
the
requests.
Another
thing
that
we
really
need
to
know:
okay,
I'm
going
to
say
two
more
things
and
I'm
going
to
shut
up
because
I'm
sure
it's
been
a
long
time
to
honestly
shut
up.
Okay,
so
is
the
use
of
the
land.
H
We
know
that
there's
City
on
land
that
was
taken
during
urban
renewal,
that's
being
held
for
recommendations,
recommendations
around
reparations,
but
we
haven't
heard
anything
about
that.
What
it
could
potentially
be
used
for.
So
commission
members
would
really
like
an
update
on
that
and
then
I'll
stop
because
I
forget
the
next
thing
and
I
need
to
stop
sharing
anyway.
So
Mr
Richardson.
S
I
think
that
legal
can
bring
me
in
on
this
one
as
it
should
be,
but
at
the
last
meeting
we
discussed
the
possibility
of
creating
a
third
source
of
funding
for
the
commission,
whether
that
was
a
a
an
entity
that
that
resembles
a
non-profit
or
something
of
that
of
that
nature,
that
we
create
a
third
Source
beyond
the
county
in
the
city
creating
revenue
for
for
the
commission,
there
was
some
some
Australia
was
legal
hurdles
that
would
have
to
be
addressed,
and
that
would
have
to
be
planned
and
well
thought
through.
J
Not
concurrently
either
I
think
this
Global
Group
needs
to
get
some
I'm.
Sorry,
our
ethical
considerations,
because
we
can't
do
anything
concurrently.
While
this
could
the
work
of
this
commission
is
going
on
and
neither
formulating
non-profit
utilizing
the
time
that
the
commission
is
is
allocated.
So,
however,
we
may
need
that
2018
set
of
Ethics
rules
for
his
body.
However,.
S
H
Again:
okay,
I,
don't
know
if
we
want
to
do
this
right
here,
but
I
think
it
was
between
Miss
Lee
and
Mr
Richardson.
In
terms
of
who
this
was
months
ago,
that
we
talked
about
it.
Q
B
J
B
So,
thank
you.
Tara
you're,
great
education,
Ameris
lavender
did.
X
Can
y'all
hear
me?
Yes,
so
my
name
is
Dr
Ramirez
lavender
I
am
the
education
IFA
facilitator,
I'm,
a
spokesperson
in
Philadelphia?
X
Thank
you.
We
meet
at
the
YW.
Typically
on
Tuesdays.
We
have
a
meeting
tomorrow.
It
will
be
virtual
it'll,
be
a
working
meeting
for
the.
D
X
We
also
have
a
meeting
on
November,
8th,
November,
22nd,
December,
6th
and
January
10th,
that
is
a
Monday,
but
we
have
we're
planned
out.
I
have
documents
that
will
allow
you
to
see
our
meeting
debates
if
you're
interested
as
well
as
a
QR
code,
you
can
scan,
as
you
see
any
of
our
work.
Everyone
is
able
to
access
the
Google
drive
to
have
the
documents,
the
research,
the
information
and
we
welcome
any
and
everyone's
feedback.
X
Okay,
so
I
would
say
it
was
working.
Well,
if
I
may
speak
for
the
team
I
might
we
have
a
great
team.
We
have
wonderful
energy,
we've
established
templates,
Frameworks
processes,
wonderful
ideas,
I've
Incorporated
about
the
voice
of
black
youth
and
Educators
Community
workers
who
attend
our
meetings.
X
Something
that
needs
Improvement.
This
was
a
hard
question
to
answer.
I
would
say
more
of
like
something
that
needs
to
be
defined,
for
our
group
is
that
there's
work
that
the
commission
has
to
Define
for
itself.
That
is
impacting
with
the
education
group
can
decide
for
the
recommendations
they
create,
we're
grappling
when
situating
our
work
and
education
and
the
broader
Recreations
movement
and
Frameworks
that
exist
in
the
local
reparations
like
cam
Powers,
who
has
come
to
speak
the
deities
as
well
as.
X
X
Thank
you.
We've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
boundaries
and
parameters.
X
A
lot
about
conflict
of
interest,
as
many
other
folks
that
work
in
the
various
ifas
also
are
recommending
things
that
will
impact
them
and
their
own
organizations,
and
that
is
also
a
larger
commission
decision
is
to
be
grappled
with,
as
we
make
recommendations
that
people
who
are
doing
the
work
are
recommending
or
a
part
of
the
major
groups
of
high-level
descriptions
of
recommendations.
But
I
also
have
a
list
of
thoughts
that
the
commission
has
is
community-based
education
programs
that
focus
on
African
curriculum.
Q
X
Local
National
black
advocates,
we
thought
about
advocates
for
IEPs
to
accompany
black
family
members
or
those
who
cannot
attend
to
combat
the
expulsion
rates
in
schools.
We're.
X
Retention,
training
and
support
for
black
teachers,
but
also
understand
that
the
city
and
actual
City
Schools
Foundation
were
just
students
like
this
exact
type
of
programming.
So
we
have
questions
about
how
this
body
plans
to
to
govern
and
respond
to
attacks
on
the
recommendations
that
would
be
race-based
and
again,
as
I
mentioned
accountability.
X
Measures
for
curriculum
materials
processes,
data
that
is
not
in
existence
or
being
collected
by
private
bodies
like
dogwood,
Health
Trust,
but
does
not
exist
in
the
government
to
provide
for
us
and
in
general
we're
curious
about
how
accountability
in
general
will
will
remain
intact.
We
look
forward
to
collaborating
with
the
different
work
groups.
There's.
X
Between
housing,
education,
Economic
Development
and
the
recommendations
that
are
shared
by
my
colleagues,
I
already
hear
the
overlap.
I
wonder
how
we
will
formalize
our
connections
while
respecting
issues
of
Quorum
and
again
I
want
to
reiterate
that
all
of
our
work
is
public
and
accessible.
There's,
always
a
Google
link.
Anyone
is
able
to
join
those
are
typically
welcomed
at
the
table
and
we
look
forward
to
y'all
joining
us.
B
Thank
you,
Dion
Greenlee,
Jones,
Health
and
Wellness.
Y
My
name
is
Ian
Bradley,
Jones,
I'm
delighted
to
be
again
as
I'm,
not
a
said.
We
are
a
small
in
Mind,
Group,
I'm
health
and
wellness.
We
meet
every
other
Tuesday
at
Stevens.
Lee
I'm
from
six
to
eight
I'm,
also
excited
the
fact
that
we
have
an
amazing
following
in
the
gallery
that
has
kind
of
become
our
cheerleaders
and
we
do
invite
at
the
end
of
every
session,
for
their
input.
H
Y
They've
been
able
to
join
us
and
listen
to
the
group
just
talking
about
what
we
would
like
to
envision.
Our
process
has
been
about
multifaceted.
As
far
as
looking
at
laying
the
contacts
with
technology
participation,
one
of
the
things
that
was
very
important
is
for
us
to
look
at
historical
Concepts.
We've
gone
back
and
Revisited
the
HR.
Y
What
does
Victory
look
like
when
we
look
at
what
we
wish
to
accomplish,
whether
we're
talking
about
what
would
we
do?
If
we
could?
We
knew
we
could
not
fail.
What
does
it
look
like
in
three
to
five
years?
We
could
have
some
of
the
things
in
place
around
reparations
and
health
and
wellness.
What
would
those
things
look
like?
So,
honestly,
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
already
with
foundational
recommendations.
A
couple
of
big
ones
are
based
upon
data
again.
Y
Looking
at
birth
rate,
data
I
was
looking
at
the
history
of
African-American
hospitals
or
treatment
centers
in
the
area
where
they're,
not
those
are
in
existence
anymore.
They
used
to
be.
We
have
a
member
of
our
team
whose
mother
or
grandmother
was
a
doula
or
the
midlife.
Can
we
get
statistics
around
that
supporting
birth
rates
and
other
instances
around
Health
Data?
That
would
also
influence
the
recommendation.
Y
So
when
we
were
also
looking
at
some
of
the
recommendations,
community,
health
centers,
the
fact
that
we
would
like
to
see
Community
input
along
those
lines
and
this
being
a
very
Equitable
process
to
have
Community
Voices
represented.
What
does
that
look
like
also
when
we
talked
about
again
the
the
tenants
of
three
to
five
years,
access
to
free
health
care
for
those
who
have
not
had
it
before,
and
when
we
look
at
historical
Concepts,
we
looked
at
how
initial
and
after
reconstruction
there
were
also
incidents
where
health.
T
Y
Were
for
for
veterans
who
were
non-black
those,
then
there
were
compromises
and
and
proposals
for
how
do
we
do
that
for
African-American
men
after
reconstruction,
so
we're
trying
to
to
bridge
the
past
with
what
we
can
see
possible
in
the
future,
and
some
of
these
things
are
going
back
at
us
revisiting.
Those
educating
and
mirrors
talked
about
education
at
large
is
a
huge
one,
because
we
also
acknowledge,
as
we
talked
in
our
fall
groups
about
how
much
exactly
does
the
public
know
about
health
and
wellness
and
the
harms
done
again.
Y
We
went
back
also
to
looking
at
the
harms
and
the
risk,
but
also
we
assume
that
everyone
potentially
was
harmed
as
we
went
back
and
looked
to
the
reparation
documents
about
what
those
harms
were.
So
we
were
very
active
in
in
meeting
and
just
excited
to
work
also
with
everyone
and
documenting
that
process,
and
so
you'll
have
more
coming
from
the
health
and
wellness
committee.
B
Thank
you,
who
is
your
spoke
person
I'm?
Sorry,
your
spokesperson.
Y
Oh
sorry,
Samari
doctor
tomorrow,
I
can
make
it
yes,
and
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
piggyback
on
a
question
or
comment
from
one
of
the
Commissioners
earlier.
It
would
be
great
if
we
have
some
of
those
guidelines
as
to
when
you
might
want
our
spokespersons
to
comment
so
that
they
can
prepare
and
be
able
to
answer
those
questions
because
and
a
deadline
for
those
those
recommendations.
Because
I
know
my
group
and
everybody's
group.
They
were
working
feverishly
with
initially
an
October
deadline
because
of
Elections.
Y
B
Just
so
everyone
knows
to
answer
one
of
her
questions.
Each
spokesperson,
each
group
at
each
of
these
bigger
commission
meetings
will,
from
this
point
moving
forward
report
out
to
the
commission.
Your
spokesperson
will
speak
at
each
of
these
commissions
and
report
them
as
so.
We
need
to
move
to
the
next
but
I'm.
Sorry,
we
kind
of
question.
Okay,
give
me
one.
Second,
Tashan
Johnson
housing.
B
Z
Z
So
good
afternoon
my
name
is
Ty
Johnson
or
Tyshawn
Johnson
on
the
left
side,
I'm
on
the
housing
facilitator
for
the
reparations
process.
I'll
start
off
by
saying
that
I
really
love.
My
group,
you
guys
are
amazing.
I
was
very
happy
with
the
fact
that
I
think
that
they
really
do
have
a
very
strong
spirit
and
that's
something
that's
shown
out
and
it
goes
into
what
I
saw
as
the
primary
aggravation,
which
was
time
usage.
Z
H
D
Z
System
to
Tsar,
which
is
kind
of
like
a
third
of
the
system
that
Dr
lavender
or
something
which
is
just
a
expression
to
keep
all
of
it,
compiled
for
our
Square.
First
we're
compiling
the
harm
the
recommendations
and
then,
when
we
actually
named
the
arm
and
then
additional
things
that
we're
looking
for.
Z
So
the
list
of
arms
are
Miss
education,
tax
burden,
elderly,
black
community,
historically,
historical,
historical
exclusion
from
private
public
development,
lack
of
sustainable
structures,
land
loss
through
urban
renewal,
lack
of
black
business
ownership
with
high
employment
opportunity,
land
loss
through
the
urban
renewal
of
reshaving,
the
lives
of
black
communities
and
black
communities
as
well.
And
then
we
had
different
lists
of
requests
for
information.
Z
Because
from
that
we
came
up
with
different
solutions.
Short
term.
Some
are
complete
survey
of
all
city
land
and
the
usage
complete
a
survey
of
opportunity
zones
and
how
they
have
been
used
historically
to
make
money
for
foreign
populations
and
how
they
can
be
used
for
the
black
communities,
benefit
research,
property
development
technology
and
how
to
directly
understand
how
to
make
proposals
of
research,
property
development
technology
and
teaching
Community.
How
to
directly
understand
how
to
make
proposals
for
how
they
want
their
Community
look?
Z
Research
is
defensley
and
other
properties
can
be
returned
to
the
community
research.
How
to
educate
the
community
on
what
powers
they
have
to
communicate
with
local
government
research,
the
impact
of
developers
on
segregation
and
the
black
community
in
recent
history
and
research,
ways
help
people
understand,
credit
debt
and
other
issues
in
the
sense
of
long-term
Solutions.
The
main
ones
have
been
focused
around
ageism,
the
so
offering
solutions
that
give
incentives,
or
some
type
of
credit
for
elderly
black
Australians
Americans,
who
are
facing
these
issues
of
rising
tax
without
Rising
income,
a
sustainable
education
apparatus.
Z
This
is
something
that's
been
highly
stressed.
Is
that
nothing
really
matters
if
you
don't
actually
have
something
to
be
sustainable
and
educate?
The
youth
plus
the
middle
American
take
older
people
on
how
to
actually
utilize
these
tools,
and
it
goes
back
to
the
harmless
education.
So
our
group
has
been.
We
had
a
very
high
start.
I
really
love
my
group,
a
lot
I
love!
You
all
I'm
grateful
to
be
working
with
you.
Our
scribe
is
Auntie
Mildred,
Lance
Carson
and
our
spokesperson
to
Spencer
Babette.
B
All
right
so
as
I.
B
Will
be
with
the
spokespeople
the
standard
moving
forward
of
how
we
will
conduct
these
meetings
when
it
gets
to
the
IFA.
H
A
Which
is
actually
a
response
to
a
survey,
a
comments
that
were
made
asking
for
more
voice
from
our
vice
chair.
We
are
paying
attention
we're
trying
to
pay
attention
the
new
business
that
I'd
like
to
place
before
is
in
your
packet
because
of
time
we
won't
be
able
to
discuss
it,
but
it's
titled
the
have.
It
is
recommendation
for
immediate
action
from
the
reparations
Commission.
A
It's
once
you
sometimes
stop
the
harm.
What
I
did
here
is
with
a
lot
of
a
little.
A
What
I
did
here
is
take
the
comments
from
our
speakers
from
dark
from
in
Cobra
from
Professor
Gary
and
combined
it
with
expectations
from
the
United
Nations
Declaration
of
reparations,
and
all
of
them
agreed
that
before
any
further
action
can
be
taken,
there
must
be
a
stoppage
of
the
harm
that
is
actually
injuring
the
priorities
and
so
I'm
asking
you
to
consider
reading
through
this
and
with
comments
amendments
if
you
circulate
them
to
me
or
to
facilitators
or
incorporation,
and
we
will
discuss
this
at
length
in
our
next
meeting.
C
Appreciate
and
get
your
comments
to
me:
yes,
yes,
we
had
started
something
about
an
hour
ago
which
had
to
do
with
the
timeline
and
explanation
of
recreation.
We
got
away
from
it,
we
never
got
back
to
it.
So
could
I.
Please
hear
that.
How
could
the
group
tomorrow.
E
Now
the
the
immediate
recommendations
were
driven
by,
or
at
least
the
introduction
of
those
was
based
on
comments
from
the
commission,
and
the
timeline
that
we
had
in
place
was
that
you
know
we
would
Target
for
immediate
recommendations
to
be
delivered
by
October.
E
If
there
are
some
that
you
all
want
to
put
forward
and
the
criteria
that
we
at
least
touched
on
in
June
was
that
it
was
based
on
the
time
sensitivity
of
the
election.
That
was,
that
was
really
the
the
primary
definition
of
an
immediate
recommendation
at
the
time,
folks
wanting
to
make
sure
that
there
was
an
opportunity
to
put
those
forward
before
the
next
election
short-term
recommendations.
Our
timeline
currently
has
those
being
completed
in
at
the
end
of
March,
medium-term
recommendations
at
the
end
of
August
and
long-term
recommendations.
E
We're
looking
at
the
end
of
January
I
will
say,
based
on
some
of
the
feedback
that
we
have
seen
in
the
survey
and
also
more
anecdotally
what
we're
hearing
from
our
facilitators.
There
are
some
questions
about
how
this
is
organized
you
know,
breaking
it
up
is
short
medium
and
long-term
recommendations.
E
Some
concerns
that
that
feels
like
an
unnatural
process
to
some
degree
that
folks
may
want
to
look
at
a
different
recommendation
process
where
you
all
have
the
opportunity
to
look
at
all
of
your
recommendations
near
the
end
of
the
process
and
look
at
categorizing
them
accordingly,
because
some
have
indicated
that
they
may
not
want
to
put
forward
recommendations
for
funding.
Let's
say
a
short-term
recommendation
if
a
medium
term
or
long-term
recommendation
turns
out
to
be
more
important
and
so
wanting
to
make
sure
that
you
all
are
able
to
make
more
fully
informed
decisions.
E
So
some
of
what
we
were
looking
at
in
October
are
really
a
lot
of
the
areas
that
you
all
have
been
talking
about.
The
data
requests
looking
at
the
timeline
and
still
going
over
some
of
the
data
and
the
input
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
process
in
place.
So
you'll
hear
more
about
that.
But
that
is
the
current
timeline
that
we
are
Marching
against.
M
B
I
just
have
a
question
because
recommendation
like
requests
for
data
has
been
a
theme
today
and
so
do
we
need
to
make
a
recommendation
that
a
request,
a
formal
request,
a
city
and
county
officials,
so
that
they
can
bring
it
down
and
get
us
what
we
need
in
order
to
move
this
process.
For
because
it
seems
like
it's
a
hindrance
for
several
other
books,
but.
J
It
really
does.
It
speaks
to
whoever's
driving
process.
The
city
and
county
are
the
repositories
of
this
data
and
even
the
federal
government,
but
that
comes
down
to
project
management
and
that
that
is,
as
far
as
the
subject
matter,
experts
in
the
ifas
or
whatever
those
facilitators.
A
Absolutely
we're
running
a
short
in
time,
but
we
have
public
comments.
We've
got,
we've
done,
Ron
Robin
we've
been
doing
the
commissioner
input
throughout
the
entire
meeting.
Did.
A
U
So
we've
we've
heard
a
lot
of
people
have
concerns
about
data,
but
I
think
that
for
future
agendas
we
need
to
talk
about
consistencies
and
strategies
for
Community
engagement,
as
well
as
for
action
and
recommendations.
I
know:
we've
been
we've
gotten
that
early
on
we're
talking
about
how
to
make
recommendations,
but
it
seems
like
most
Hyatt
faces.
We've
now
adopted
that
we
are.
U
How
that's
supposed
to
be
done
so
I
know
that
our
people's
education-
we're
really
that's
one
of
our
main
things
is
we
wanted
to
hear
from
the
different
the
other
IFA
groups
so
that
we
can
be
consistent
with
our
recommendation
and
our
our
guests,
our
short-term
actions.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
is
something
that
can
be
done
within
our
two-hour
frame
for
the
whole
group.
But
at
some
point
I
think
we
do
have
to
have
something
so
that
everybody
is
on
board.
A
V
I've
spoke
on
a
number
of
different
commission
members
and
members
of
the
community
and
the
Affairs
that
specific
black
communities
have
already
developed
plans
that
haven't
come
across
the
table
of
the
commission
at
all,
so
I
would
I
would
ask
that
those
plans
for
Community
Development
that
black
communities
have
already
developed
prior
to
the
forming
of
his
Commission,
be
brought
before
the
intention
of
the
commission
to
if
that's
already
been
done,
why
we
create
the
wills,
and
we
should
table
that
for
immediate
recommendations,
but
I
think
that
should
be
part
of
the
process
of
us
determining
what
those
immediate
recommendations
are
kind
of
digging
into
the
wealth
of
the
community
as
to
what
they've
already
done
work
for
so
I
would
hope
that
we
can
bring
that
to
discussion
eventually,
hopefully
soon,
hopefully
it
meets
immediately
and
I
know
more
people
at
the
table
are
more
versed
than
if
than
I
am
so.
L
L
L
J
You
for
the
opportunity
I
just
want
to
say
that
Deborah
Clark
John
Ms
Jones.
We
do
appreciate
everything
you've
done.
It
may
not
seem
like
at
some
time.
Some
of
us
are
fairly
stored
like
myself,
but
it's
all
just
part
of
just
trying
to
get
this
thing
done.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
that
there
needs
to
be
some.
Some
ethical
guidelines
set
up.
J
I
do
know
that
there
are
certain
folks
who
are
like
me
who
have
declared
conflicts
of
interest
because
of
our
work
with
community-based
organizations
like
eagles
wings,
Community
Development
Corporation,
which
is
a
affordable
housing
provider,
household
provider,
training,
technical
assistance
of
ethnic
minority
businesses
Incorporated
prior
to
the
reparations
process,
but
then
also
in
conversation
with
City
and
County
government,
for
funding
and
with
programming,
and
so
going
back
to
what
was
just
said
about
the
neighborhood
groups.
J
There
are
other
groups
as
well,
so
if
you're
going
to
consider
neighborhood
groups,
there
also
are
the
501s
and
see
threes,
fours
or
whatever
that
have
equal
should
have
equal
footing
with
that.
Then
that
brings
me
to
the
point
that
there
are
a
lot
of
very
valuable
people
in
this
room,
and
so
we
made
a
statement.
The
other
night
I
think
that
it
was
much
like
George
Orwell's
interpretation
of
Animal
Farm
that
all
the
pigs
on
the
farm
are
equal,
but
they're,
just
some
pigs
who
are
more
equal
than
others.
J
So
it
would
be
good
if
we
just
valued
everybody
and
just
not,
because
who
we
think
people
are.
We
have
some
very
smart
young
people
in
this
room.
The
rest
of
we
brought
a
point
of
information
about
Miss,
Waters
and
others
who
are
Economic,
Development,
subject
matter,
experts
appointed
by
City
and
County
government
for
her
experts,
but
left
out
of
the
spokesperson
process.
What
happened?
How
are
you
going
to
address
that
if
it's
been
mandated
by
City
and
County
government
that
they
have
subject
matter,
experts
that
were
appointed
that
what
process?
What.
J
Process,
they're
not
even
spokespersons.
The
other
thing
is,
of
course,
I've
asked
our
City
attorney
to
provide
some
2018
ethical
rules,
because
we've
seen
how
large
groups
like
this,
along
with
other
boards
and
commissions,
have
acted
with
Insider
information.
And
if
you
have
a
conflict
of
interest
such
as
I
declared
9
9
10.
That
means
that
I
can't
vote
on
the
the
the
the
votes
that
come
out
in
the
building
commission,
because
I
declared
mine,
but
others
who
have
the
need
to
also
declare
equally
moving
on
Down.
J
The
Line
one
other
I
believe
I'm,
just
really
glad
to
have
been
appointed
by
County
government
in
this
role
and
I
serve
on
three
of
these.
And
what
we
intend
to
do
is
just
use
whatever
data,
in
our
sense
some
of
y'all,
some
of
the
data
and
including
Milan,
who
works
as
a
researcher
for
Bunker
County
information.
And
we
have
that.
But
there
are
other,
also
points
of
reformation
that
some
of
us
may
have
that
might
value.
But.
D
J
Just
really
wanted
to
say
that
I
am
concerned
about
the
data
and
also
the
the
very
top-down
nature
of
the
process.
As
has
been,
we
need
to
become
much
more
democratic
and
involved
people,
especially
black
folks.
In
Asheville.
J
We
tend
to
defer
folks
who
are
not
from
here
who,
who
really
haven't
suffered
the
way
that
a
lot
of
us
natives
have
and
a
lot
of
them
are
very
discouraged
by
this
entire
process
and
don't
believe
it's
going
to
work
so
I
do
want
to
prove
them
wrong,
and
also
the
the
need
for
data
is
something
that
we
just
cannot
afford
to
be
without
there
are
people
who
are
waiting
to
sue
the
city,
and
our
case
is
strong
if
we
do
have
data.
J
The
last
thing
very
last
thing
is
the
fact
that
reparations
this
is
not
a
real
reparations
process.
Truth
is
so
important
when
you're
trying
to
come
to
reconciliation.
There
can
be
no
reconciliation
without
truth,
and
this
is
this
is
not
full
of
reparations,
because
there
are
no
direct
payments,
it
is
divisive.
I
just
want
you
to
know
it
I'm
just
going
to
tell
the
truth
and
y'all
do
whatever
you
want
to
do
with
it,
but
it
is
divisive.
I.
Think
at
first,
when
I
heard,
y'all
use
the
term
reparations.
J
J
Voices
are
not
always
the
wisest
voice,
they're,
not
you
disassemble,
that
monument
and
the
cities
and
current
costs
right
through
now
and
I.
Just
wonder
how
many
millions
of
dollars
that
is
right
now
that
we
could
have
used
in
this
budget,
so
I
ask
that
we
and
you
may
not
even
want
to
do
it.
J
It
doesn't
matter
to
me,
but
I
do
want
to
raise
the
issue
that
you
are
calling
something
that
the
black
community
in
Asheville,
the
local
community,
is
smarter
than
you
think
they
said
they
don't
have
a
band
with
to
pay
us
reparations
and
they're
right.
That's
a
federal
action.
You
can
get
notoriety
by
calling
the
reparation,
but
the
black
folks
in
Durham,
North
Carolina
do
not
call
their
process
reparations,
they
call
it
something
like
Community
reinvestment,
I'm
interested
in
the
money,
not
the
notoriety
or
the
in
the
the
fame.
So
I
would
welcome
that.
J
You
need
to
start
calling
these
things
exactly
what
it
is,
because
people
do
not
respect
you
when
you
are
not
honest
with
them.
This
is
not
a
term.
This
is
not
what
we're
doing
we're
not
doing
reparations
we're
doing
a
how
about
your
program,
maybe
Community
reinvestment
process,
but
where
you're
headed
is
down
a
path
of
litigation
and
more
hold
up.
So.
J

We
have
two
people
who
are
listed
for
public
comment:

Thomas

We're
