Our

on

hopefully

our
fiscal
year.
2022
neighborhood
advisory
committee
work
plan,
as
well
as
the
amended
bylaws
and
then
for
new
business.
Today
we
have
an
old
face
who's
joining
us.
Our
former
chair
phil
lenowitz
and
his
colleague
rebecca,
are
from
the
aarp
partnership
and
they'll,
be
giving
us
a
presentation
and
then
we'll
also
receive
an
update
from
our
neighborhood
hero
working
group.
C
Thank
you,
okay,
so
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you
to
provide
staff
activities
and
updates.
A
So
this
month
I
thought
I
would
highlight
a
lot
of
what
our
neighborhood
specialist
services,
specialist,
jeremy
lett,
has
been
doing
and
then
I'll
follow
up
with
a
few
things
we've
been
doing.
He's
jeremy
is
more
on
the
ground
than
I
am
because
he's
doing
a
lot
of
the
community
oriented
problem
solving,
so
he's
been
working
a
lot
on
the
neighborhood
matching
grant
program
which
we
hope
to
roll
out
in
august.
A
A
We
know
neighborhoods
things
rise
and
fall
on
neighborhoods,
so
we're
really
excited
jeremy's
done
a
really
good
job.
With
that
a
lot
of
research
across
the
state
community
development
in
neighborhoods,
the
community
development
had
asked
us
to
talk
about
really
getting
them
out
and
about
in
neighborhoods.
If
you
guys
remember
the
city,
does
our
cdbg
and
home
grants
home
grant
funding
and
a
lot
of
folks
are
interested
in
it,
but
sometimes
always
don't
know
all
the
details.
A
This
is
a
federal
program,
so
they
want
to
start
getting
out
and
about
jeremy
met
with
the
ced
community
development
group,
paul
d'angelo
and
so
we're
working
on
some
ways
for
them
to
start
getting
out
in
the
community.
Hopefully,
this
summer
summer's
almost
over
there's
also
been
some
concerns
about
youth
employment
opportunities.
A
So
germany's
been
meeting
in
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
with
city
departments,
on
ways
that
we
can
create
a
pipeline
for
kids
getting
out
of
high
school
to
come
in
to
work
with
the
city.
I
know
you
all
are
very
familiar
with
our
city
of
asheville
youth
leadership
academy,
which
is
kayla.
They
do
a
lot
of
internship
work
in
the
summer,
but
they
are
still
high
school
students.
A
So
this
would
be
for
younger
folks
who
are
interested
in
doing
working
for
the
city,
which
I
think
is
great
one,
that
one
other
thing
with
jeremy
is
he's
gotten
a
really
good
contact
with
our
residence
councils.
A
They
have
not
been
totally
active
and
so
they're
they're
back
kind
of
getting
energized
and
really
excited
that
working
with
a
couple
of
them
on
doing
a
plan
on
a
page
which
would
be
wonderful
trying
to
talk
to
them
more
about
how
we
can
communicate
with
them
some
of
their
needs
that
kind
of
stuff,
because
that
kind
of
brings
up.
You
know
we
consider
those
neighborhoods.
You
know,
even
though
they
you
know,
are
just
housing
areas
they
are
still
in
neighborhoods
and
so
want
them
to
be
able
to.
A
We
kicked
off
their
we're
working
on
phase
one
of
a
pattern
book,
so
what
that
would
do
is
begin
to
talk
about
the
history
of
burton
street
kind
of
what
the
homes
look
like.
What
the
neighborhood
is
about.
We,
they
did
some
surveying
last
week,
we'll
do
more
this
week
with
the
report.
We
hope
will
be
done
by
december
and
then
that
second
phase
will
be
planning
an
urban
design
working
on
like
a
story
map,
so
we're
look.
A
We're
really
excited
about
that
and
then
the
mitigation
plan
that
was
approved
by
council
in
october
of
218
for
bergen
street.
We
have
covered
just
about
everything,
we're
working
on
the
park
area,
the
sidewalks
that
were
approved
to
be
put
in
we're
working
on
a
design,
we're
waiting
on
dmt
for
some
of
that
stuff,
the
rest
of
the
stuff
we
have
generally
done.
It
is
in
the
works
and
we're
very
excited,
also
parks
work
with
dot
because
they
also
we
put
some
additional
parking
at
burton
street
community
center.
A
So
I
attended
shallow's
second
in-person
meeting
in
their
neighborhood
meeting,
really
excited
to
see
neighborhoods
getting
back
online.
I
know
some
people
are
kind
of
still
doing
virtual,
which
is
fine,
but
we're
still
trying
to
get
out
there
along
with
apd
community
engagement.
A
They
have
been
phenomenal
and
really
answering
questions,
because
you
know
each
neighborhood
has
a
unique
situation
in
terms
of
you
know:
either
crime
or
theft
or
whatever,
and
so
that's
been
great
talking
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
recruiting
for
more
police
officers
and
what
kind
of
things
neighborhoods
can
do
to
kind
of
be
proactive
about
stuff,
and
that's
it
for
me.
If
I,
unless
you
have
any.
C
C
C
So
former
members,
joe
fioccola
and
pastor
hardaway,
rotated
off
officially
at
our
june
2021
meeting,
which
led
to
vacancies
for
an
at-large
position
and
a
position
representing
28803,
and
so
at
that
time
we
had
very
few
applications
come
in.
We
didn't
have
any
come
in
at
that
time,
specifically
for
28803.
C
So
at
our
june
meeting
it
was
discussed
and
recommended
that
we
shift
by
share
by
that
maze
from
an
at-large
position
to
2803
representation
so
that
there
wouldn't
be
or
there
would
be
minimal
lag
time,
but
also
because
baba
is
super
involved
in
the
shiloh
community
as
well
and
in
the
28803
zip
code
area.
C
So
that
seemed
like
a
it
would
be
a
good
fit
to
do
that
and
then
that
would
open
up
any
applications
that
did
come
in
for
at
large
sort
of
candidacy
and
what
we
ended
up
doing
is
getting
a
big
batch
from
the
clerk's
office
and
and
send
it
out
for
review,
but
ultimately
long
story
short.
C
C
I
wrote
her
name
down
because
it
is
long,
but
let
me
find
it
elizabeth
lucas
worley,
I
think,
is
her
last
name
and
I
apologize
if
I
mispronounced
that,
but
she
is
also
coincidentally
sort
of
in
the
southern
and
eastern
area
of
the
city
she's
in
oakley,
and
has
a
long
list
of
experience
as
well,
as
I
think,
current
involvement
in
the
oakley
neighborhood
association,
so
look
forward
to
hopefully
having
city
council
approve
both
of
our
recommendations
for
for
those
two
positions
and
moving
forward
to
getting
a
full
knack.
C
Roster
back
so
moving
to
that's
that
wraps
up
our
board
and
committee
vacancies
updates.
We
don't
have
any
action
or
excuse
me.
We
don't
need
to
take
any
any
action
on
on
that
item,
but
moving
to
the
approval
of
our
fiscal
year
2022
work
plan.
C
The
updated
document
is
in
your
meeting
materials
folder
and
this
updated
document
is
a
continued
iteration
of
what
we
discussed
a
couple
of
months
ago
at
our
sort
of
or
working
meeting
or
retreat,
along
with
some
some
comments
and
feedback
provided
from
nac
members.
So
that
is
what
brenda
went
ahead
and
sort
of
married
into
the
the
working
plan.
C
E
G
C
Let
me
thanks
jp.
It
is
called
sorry
I'm
trying
to
get
into
my
folders.
That's
the
way
it's
labeled,
maybe.
A
C
So
our
work
plan
document
has
our
goals
for
fiscal
year
2022
and
also
reiterates
our
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee's
vision
and
mission,
and
so
any
other
questions
or
anything.
Anyone
else
wants
to
discuss
related
to
the
work
plan
before
making
a
motion
to
approve.
E
C
That
is
a
great
question.
Brenda
do
we
want
to.
C
A
So
what
I
want
to
explain
for
the
so
there's
a
vision
for
an
act
there's
a
mission.
The
goals
were
already
stated,
those
those
are
things
that
they
inherited.
What
you're
looking
what
you
need
to
look
at
is
the
stuff
that
says:
update
neighborhood
advisory
by
laws.
Look
at
neighborhood
representation.
Those
are
the
things
we're
going
to
be
working
on
and
those
bullet
points
under
that
are
what
we
will
be
doing
to
get.
That
done.
Does
that
make
better
sense.
A
So
I
think,
what's
happening
is
maybe
that
maybe
that
word
goals
is
confusing
you.
This
is
what
they
do,
so
maybe
we
just
renamed
that
what
what
their
actual
goals
is.
What's
in
blue
and
the
bullet
points,
underneath
of
what
we're
gonna
do
to
see
success,
those
are
the
things
we're
gonna
need
to
get
done.
C
Would
it
this
is
anna,
would
it
make
more
sense
to
where
it
says,
goals
for
fiscal
year
2022
and
then,
like
you,
said,
the
sort
of
the
the
blue
boxes?
Maybe
we
change
that
to
just
action
items
for
2022.
D
E
I
would
I
would
support
that
approach
because
again,
coming
from
a
very
kind
of
standard
definition
of
a
goal
is
something
to
be
done
by
somebody
by
a
certain
date
and
there's
some
clear
expectation
whether
the
goal
was
met
or
not,
and
I
think
that
what
we're
calling
these
goals
are
general
headings
related
to
action
items,
but
then
the
actual
specific
goals
and
or
objectives
that
have
dates
and
more
smart,
attainable.
Realistic
types
of
parameters
underneath
it
seem
to
be
the
actual
goals.
C
C
Thank
you,
wendy
all
right
I'll,
go
ahead
and
run
through
our
roll
call,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
bob
at
maze.
Yes,
greta
bush,
aye,
jp
chilarka.
E
C
C
All
right.
Our
next
item
of
unfinished
business
is
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee,
bylaw
amendments,
and
we
left
last
meeting
in
june
with
adopting
all
proposed
amendments
and
someone
feel
free
to
jump
in
and
clarify
if
I'm
getting
this
wrong.
But
we
adopted
all
proposed
amendments
with
the
exception
of
what
was
was
left
in
article
two
section,
one
under
purpose,
and
we
agreed
to
come
back
to
that
section.
At
this
meeting.
C
However,
we
didn't
really
receive.
We
didn't
receive
any
sort
of
offline
feedback
or
comments
from
individual
members
on
how
to
wordsmith
that
that
item.
I
know
that
there
was
some
conversation
about
maybe
wanting
to
beef
up
that
language,
but
I
think
we
left
it
open
to
to
knack
members
to
to
send
us
any
sort
of
proposed
revised
language.
They
would
like
to
see-
and
we
didn't
receive
anything
so
with
that
said
I'll,
open
up
the
floor
for
for
discussion
on
that.
C
I
guess,
move
forward
with
the
all
the
amended
bylaws
and
so
that
we
have
an
officially
a
new
set
of
adopted.
Bylaws
that
we're
working
from.
D
Hi
anna,
this
is
greta.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
send
anything
in
because
I
had
sent
it
in
a
couple
of
times
previously,
so
I'll
try
to
find
real,
quick.
The
wording
that
I
had
sent
and
propose
adding
it,
but,
generally
speaking
under
purpose,
I
think
it
could
say.
C
Okay
and
thank
you
greta,
this
is
anna
brenda.
I'm
gonna
come
back
to
you
again.
I
apologize,
I
feel
like.
I
also
asked
the
same
questions
over
and
over,
but
if
we
were
to
make
that
that
change
is
that
something
that
has
to
go
back
toward
like
the
establishing
resolution,
where
we
have
to
take
things
back
to
council,
or
can
we
go
ahead
and
make
a
change
under
that
section?.
A
I
think
that
this
your
ballots
are
what
you
come
up
with.
Now
there
are
some.
There
is
some
language
like
joey
mentioned
at
the
last
meeting,
that
came
directly
from
the
resolution,
but
I
think
it's
okay
to
update
this.
G
So
brenda
can
we
check
with
the
clerk's
office
and
see
if
it
needs
to
come
to
council
for
approval.
A
Well,
what
I
can
do
is,
if
you
want
to
hold
on,
I
will
grab
the
resolution
and
see
if
I
see
anything
mentioned
in
there,
while
we're
on
the
meeting
so
because
we
this
would
be
if
we
hold
this
over
again.
This
is
for
me
three
that
we've
had
this
discussion.
So
if
I'm
gonna
come
off
camera
just
for
a
minute,
let
me
see
what
I
can
find
and
then
we'll
go
from
there.
How
about
that.
C
While
you
do
that
greta,
would
you
mind
going
ahead
and
just
sharing
that
small
change
again
at
the
end
of
that
section
that
you
proposed
sure.
D
Yeah,
I
actually
pulled
up
the
committee
goals
that
we
just
approved
and
it
is
listed.
My
suggestions
are
listed
in
there.
So
if
you
look
under
look
at
neighborhood
advisory
committee
representation
by
zip
codes,
it's
bulleted
under
there,
so
in
addition
to
advise
city
council,
it
says
it
has
been
suggested.
It
should
also
include
listening,
educating
and
helping
to
develop
and
support
neighborhoods,
as
I
don't
think
I
should
say,
as
a
community
so
period
listening,
educating
and
helping
to
develop
and
support
neighborhoods
period.
G
D
C
Well,
brenda
is
checking
on
the
the
resolution
and
whether
or
not
amendments
need
to
go
to
council
does
anyone
else
have
any
any
input
on
that
one
line.
Excuse
me.
C
Article
two
section:
one
purpose
of
the
this
knack
bylaws
and
is
there
anything
else
that
that
folks
want
to
see
change.
E
C
E
A
No
generally
advisory
boards,
don't
have
a
budget
that
you
don't
have
a
budget
because
you're
not
a
department.
I
mean
anything
that
you
would
need
to
do
like
if
we
had
an
event
or
things
that
comes
from
communications
and
public
engagement
departments
budget.
So
we
try
to
do
stuff
that
way,
but
to
answer
the
question
so
that
we
don't
even
have
to
further
go
down
it.
This
purpose
is
not
called
a
person
purpose
in
your
resume
in
your
in
the
resolution,
but
it
is
stated
in
there.
A
Ahead,
brenda,
what
I'm
gonna
say
is
the
purpose
is
a
one
sentence
statement,
but
then,
when
you
look
down
in
powers
and
duties,
it
talks
about
all
the
stuff
that
anna
I
mean
greta
is
suggesting
we
do
so
you
you
guys
do
so.
The
powers
and
duties
talk
about
all
the
things
that
would
have
to
do
with
educating
supporting
just
reread
it
again.
If
you
feel
like
it's
not
thorough
enough,
then
we
can
take
it
back
to
council.
D
So
what
we
had
talked
about
at
the
last
meeting
is,
we
knew
it
had
to
go
to
council
and
the
reason
that
we
want
to
change.
The
purpose
is
because
the
duties
don't
point
back
to
the
purpose,
as
is
stated,
so
I'm
just
asking
that
if
we
add
in
the
extra
information
that
I
mentioned,
I
think
that
would
make
it
all
fall
into
line
because
right
now
we're
doing
activities
that
don't
point
back
to
the
purpose.
We
do
a
lot
of
extra
stuff
that
is
educating
and
listening.
D
So
I
am
fine.
If
we
have,
I
would
vote
yes
to
go
back
to
council.
I
thought
we
had
already
agreed
on
that
at
the
last
meeting,
so
whatever
we
have
to
do,
if
it
has
to
be
a
working
meeting
or
working
group,
then
I'd
be
happy
to
be
on
that
to
get
it
prepped.
C
Thanks
greta,
this
is
anna,
so
it
sounds
like
I'm
going
to
recap
here
and
then
brenda
follow
up
with
me
please.
So
we
have
made
several
amendments
or
proposed
amendments
or
revisions
to
our
bylaws.
We
voted
at
our
last
meeting
to
approve
those
those
are
going
to
have
to
go
to
council
anyways
for
official
adoption,
correct
brenda,
or
is
it
just?
A
You
don't
account
for
is
what
you're
changing
on
in
your
original
resolution.
That
set
you
up.
So
if
you
want
that
to
look
because
you're
basically
doing
amending
it
and
adding
to
it,
so
you
just
want
to
change
more
of
what
you
feel
like
you're
supposed
to
be
doing
right,
you're,
you
you're
allowed
to
create
your
balance.
Experience.
C
We
voted
at
our
last
meeting
to
approve
all
of
those
changes
right,
but
the
one
sticking
point
was
this
article
two
duties
section:
one
purpose
where
we
wanted
to
expand
on
that
language
a
little
bit
and
my
at
this
point
the
the
only
I
think
proposed
change
that
that
I'm
hearing
is,
you
know,
adding
a
half
dozen
words
to
the
end
of
that
sentence.
C
If
we
want
to
go
ahead
and
and
do
that
and
vote
to
have
those
amendments
take
take
effect
today,
we
can
do
that
all
here.
None
of
that
has
to
go
from
here,
then
be
approved
by
council.
I
guess
is
my
question.
C
Thank
you.
That
was
my
ultimate
question,
so
I
think
the
only
thing
that
we,
what
I'm
hearing
the
only
thing
that
we
need
to
do
today,
is
to
entertain
our
all
entertain,
making
a
motion
to
amend
article
two
section.
One
purpose
to
read.
The
purpose
of
the
knack
is
to
advise
the
city
council
on
neighborhoods
within
the
city's
planning
and
zoning
jurisdiction.
C
C
C
Hi
jp
chilarka,
wendy
hayner
I
and
anna
sexton
aye.
So
in
addition
to
the
amendments
that
we
approved
at
our
last
meeting,
we'll
make
that
one
small
change
and
then
it
will
go
before
council
for
final
approval.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
It
sounds
like
we
are
working
towards
crossing
that
one
off
of
our
list
all
right.
C
Our
next
item
of
business
is
new
business
and
our
first
item
under
new
business
is
a
presentation
by
two
folks
from
aarp
phil
linowitz,
who
is
a
former
neighborhood
advisory
committee
chair
and
he
is
an
aarp
volunteer
and
then
also
rebecca
chaplin,
who
is
the
associate
state
director
for
aarp
north
carolina
mountain
region
and
just
some
background
phil
reached
out
to
me
about
his
volunteer
work
with
aarp
to
see
how
we
might
be
able
or
how
they
might
be
able
to
collaborate
with
knack
to
just
further
build
capacity
in
the
community,
and
we
thought
it
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
for
phil
and
rebecca
to
present
to
us
and
just
see
how
we
can
get
everybody
better
connected.
H
I'm
happy
to
take
it.
Take
it
away
from
here.
Thank
you.
I
hear
a
little
bit
of
feedback,
it
sounds
like
it's
gone
and
I
hope
phil
is
here.
I
I
don't
see
him
maybe
he's
on
the
phone,
but
I
will
get
started
and
we'll
just
go
with
the
flow.
H
H
Hopefully
that
is
exciting
and
it
excites
some
possibilities.
We
also
hope
to
empower
you
to
speak
up,
and
maybe
not
even
today,
but
in
the
future
and
to
think
about
hey.
This
might
be
an
opportunity
to
build
capacity.
Like
you
said,
anna
with
aarp,
maybe
we
can
be
an
ally
and
a
partner
and
finally
to
involve
you
and
you
involve
us
and
as
we
go
forward,
so
we
hope
this
is
the
start
of
a
a
beautiful
friendship
or
the
continuation
of
one.
You
can
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
frame
there.
H
We
are
the
nation's
largest
non-profit,
which
is
pretty
cool
and
we
have
people
in
our
community.
What
makes
us
powerful
as
an
organization
is
our
people?
It's
not
money,
it's
not
pacs,
it's
not
giving
money
to
influencers
or
elected
officials.
It's
our
38
million
members
and
it's
our
1.1
million
members
in
north
carolina
that
we
can
say
we're
working
together
to
make
our
communities
a
better
place
to
age
and
that's
for
current
and
future
generations.
H
Much
of
what
we
do
is
not
just
for
people
over
50.
Now
the
the
sustainability
of
social
security
is
not
just
for
people
who
are
retired.
Now
it's
for
future
generations,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
realize
that
a
community
that
is
good
for
older
adults
is
a
community.
That's
really
good
for
all
ages.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
just
to
put
a
person
to
who
this
you
know,
big
organization
is
ethel.
Percy
andrus
is
our
founder.
She
was
an
educator.
H
She
was
an
activist
for
fostering
racial
justice
in
communities
in
the
1950s
and
after
she
retired
from
the
whole
career
in
education.
She
saw
that
there
was
another
fight
to
have,
and
that
was
on
behalf
of
people
aging
in
communities.
H
So
one
single
person,
one
woman,
one
educator-
she
started
the
you
know
the
nation's
largest
non-profit,
because
she
realized
that
people
who
had
retired
were
entitled
to
receiving
some
sort
of
economic
security.
She
found
her
neighbor
living
in
the
backyard
in
a
chicken
coop
who
had
some
cognitive
impairments
and
a
lack
of
caregiver
and
financial
support,
and
this
was
before
medicare.
So
people
didn't
have
people
didn't
have
insurance
after
they
retired
health
insurance.
H
So
you
can
kind
of
see
this
threat
that
runs
through
our
organization
at
supporting
financial
and
health
security,
as
we
age
and
aarp
is
a
membership
organization,
and
they
certainly
do
offer
products
and
services
to
that
end
fortune.
You
know
fortunately
phil,
and
I
work
for
the
the
part
of
arp
that
it's
not
just
for
members
what
we
do
for
one
we
do
for
all,
and
so
the
work
that
we
do
in
communities.
H
It
really
fulfills
the
mission
vision
statement,
the
motto
and
what
I
love
about
it
is
that
I
work
with
people
50,
plus
mostly
every
day,
to
make
these
changes
it's
to
serve
and
not
to
be
served.
It
is
people
who
want
to
give
back
in
our
communities
bringing
this
social
mission
to
life.
You
can
go
to
the
next
frame
so
like
it's
hard
to
imagine
when
we
see
a
commercial
or
something
that
it
is
in
our
communities.
H
But
this
is
our
state,
and
these
are
the
regions
that
we
serve
and
I
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
that
western,
the
mountain
region,
that's
22
counties.
Of
course
we
can't
be
present
in
22
counties,
but
our
volunteers
can
so
you
know
our
volunteers
in
jackson,
county
or
in
madison
and
ash
and
watauga.
You
know
they're
the
people
talking
to
their
county
managers,
their
city
officials,
their
state
representatives,
their
members
of
congress,
because
they
are
the
people
that
arp
is
all
about.
So
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
region
we
serve.
H
H
Like
you
know,
let
me
just
give
an
example:
encore
entrepreneurs
like
that's
where
people
over
50,
who
want
to
start
a
business
they're,
the
most
successful
cohort
of
people
who
want
to
start
us
a
business
age
cohort
because
they
have
a
lot
to
offer.
They
have
experience,
they
have
knowledge,
they
have
resources.
H
So
we
do
support
work
to
support
both
the
business
community,
but
also
older
adults
who
want
to
start
a
second
career
as
a
business
owner.
We
have
lots
of
programs
and
do
a
lot
of
advocacy
for
caregivers.
I
just
got
off
a
call
about
a
federal
effort
for
a
credit
for
caregivers
act,
which
is
all
about
from
supporting
working
caregivers
through.
You
know,
tax
incentives,
because
we
know
that,
in
order
for
people
to
stay
in
the
workforce,
if
they're
caregivers,
they
need
support.
H
So
we
bring
light
to
many
of
these
issues
and
I'll
just
point
to
one
more.
Their
home
fit
home.
Fit
is
a
program
that
it's
an
educational
model
that
we
offer
frequently
that
helps
people
to
know
how
they
can
make
affordable,
accessible
changes
to
their
home
so
that
they
can
age
in
place.
Most
people
want
to
age
in
their
homes.
The
current
the
homes
that
they're
currently
in
there's
another
whole
concept
called
aging
in
community
which
isn't
just
about
aging
in
your
home.
But
it's
about
aging
around
the
people
who
you
know
will
support
you.
H
But
you
know
that
program
is
an
hour
long,
and
I
promise
that
you
would
leave
a
program
like
that
thinking.
I
can
make
at
least
one
change
to
my
house
to
make
it
more
visible
by
all
ability
levels
or
to
help
me
to
age
in
that
home.
So
these
are
just
an
example
of
the
issue
areas
and
where
we
have
both
education
and
advocacy
work
happening
regularly.
H
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
I'm
going
to
touch
on
our
state
advocacy
issues,
and
I
think
this
will
point
to
that
that
we're
a
non-partisan
organization-
we're
not
we're
not
liberal,
we're,
not
conservative,
we're,
not
democrats
or
republicans.
We
fight
for
issues
the
small
business
retirement
program
or
work
and
save
is
one
really
great
example.
H
It
helps
small
business
owners
and
actually
this
context,
I
think
it's
defined
as
by
the
small
business
association
is
500
employees
or
less.
So
that's
a
pretty
big
small
business,
but
to
help
those
who
work
for
small
businesses
to
save
for
retirement.
H
Many
small
business
owners
don't
offer
a
401k
retirement
plan,
so
something
we're
really
busy
advocating
for
right
now.
Very
active
on
is
work
and
save,
and
it
makes
it
easier
for
employees
of
small
business
to
direct
deposit
into
an
account
that
helps
them
save.
When
this
option
is
available,
people
tend
to
save
for
retirement.
I
won't
go
into
the
nuances
of
it
now,
but
it's
at
no
cost
to
the
small
business
owner.
H
H
The
advanced
practice
nurse
bill
is
called
the
save
act,
and
that's
so
that
nurse
practitioners
and
other
advanced
practice,
nurses
can
operate
to
the
full
extent
of
their
authority
and
that,
especially
in
rural
communities,
will
help
people
to
have
access
to
the
care
that
they
need.
It
will
also
help
to
make
care
more
affordable.
So
I'm
just
giving
you
a
few
touchstones
of
what
we're
working
on
right
now
and
it's
not
me
working
on
it.
It's
phil
working
on
it.
It's
our
volunteers
and
our
community
members
calling
their
elected
officials
to
work
on
these
issues.
H
So
there
is
example
of
our
state
priorities.
At
present
we
can
scroll
to
the
next
slide
so
where
it
gets
really
local
is
in
our
neighborhoods
and
in
our
communities
and
we're
very
committed
to
fostering
what
we
call
livable
communities
is
the
big
catch
phrase.
But
that
really
means
you
know:
a
community,
that's
friendly
for
an
80
year
old
is
friendly
for
an
eight-year-old.
I
mean
880.
H
Cities
is
kind
of
a
framed
coined
by
gil
penalosa
to
describe
that
phenomenon
and
some
of
the
work
that
we've
done
are,
you
know
simple,
as
you
know,
walk
working
with
safe
routes
to
school,
to
have
safe,
walk
to
school
days,
working
on
some
of
the
communities,
tactical
urbanism
projects,
which
I
know
some
of
you
have
seen
that
are
quick,
build
projects
so
that
we
can
more
affordably
test
and
learn
how
to
make
greater
mobility
options
for
people
moving
through
areas
and
then
on
the
lower
right.
H
That's
a
project
we've
been
working
on
on
accessory
dwelling
units,
so
it
helps
people
to
age
in
place.
If
they're
aware
that
the
city
of
asheville
is
one
of
the
greatest
places
that
you
can
build
an
adu
or
accessory
dwelling
unit-
and
that
means
you
could
maybe
have
a
caregiver
living
close
by
to
you
or
you
could
bring
your
mom
down
from
somewhere
else
so
that
she
can
live
close
by
right
on
your
property.
H
Some
people
come
granny
flats
or
other
phrases
like
that,
but
it's
just
another
unit
on
your
property,
a
smaller
unit
where
you
can,
it
can
help
people
to
age.
In
place,
so
these
are
some
examples
of
the
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide.
Brenda
of
the
livable
communities
work
that
we
do.
This
is
phil's
slide,
so
this
is
where
I'm
hoping
that
phil
is
here.
A
Bill
is
here,
I
don't
know
why
we
can't
hear
him.
A
H
I
mean
it's
okay,
brenda!
I
don't
want
to
put
you
out
here.
I
know,
like
you
said
you
know,
people's
time
is
limited,
so
phil.
If
you're
able
to
talk,
interrupt
me
at
any
time,
please
and
I'll,
just
quiet
myself
down
when
we
look
at
what
makes
a
community
livable.
These
are
just
some
of
the
frames
of
reference
that
we
use
called
the
eight
domains
of
livability.
H
So
some
of
those
are
physical
infrastructure
things
like
transportation,
outdoor
spaces
and
buildings.
Do
people
have
a
place
where
they
can
sit
down
on
a
bench
while
they're
waiting
for
the
bus
a
covered
place
where
they
can
be?
You
know
our
our
outdoor
place
is
accessible,
but
we
also
go
to
things
that
are
maybe
more.
Oh,
what
is
mine?
My
colleague
says
social
working,
but
you
know
less
tangible
respect
and
inclusion.
How
do
we
ensure
that
you
know
you
mentioned?
H
There's
some
vacancies
on
the
nac
like
how
do
we
make
sure
that
people
over
50
are
aware
of
opportunities
to
be
included?
So
this
is
our
domains
of
livability,
and
I
know
that
phil
was
really
comparing
this
to
some
guiding
documents
that
the
that
the
advisory
committee
uses
that
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
uses
finding
some
alignment
there.
H
Okay,
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
I
keep
thinking
I'll,
hear
phil's
voice
pop
in,
but
that's
why
it's
great
to
have
a
team.
I
know
he's
been
traveling,
so
I
wanted
to
inform
you
about
a
summit,
a
four-part
series
that
we
have
coming
up,
and
this
is
something
that
might
be
of
interest
to
some
of
you
and
it's
an
example
like
this
is
a
program
we
put
together
by
talking
to
some
of
our
community
leaders
to
see
where
aarp
fit
in
to
how
we
grow.
How
do
communities
grow?
H
I
think
if
you
live
in
the
city
of
asheville,
you
see
right
now
that
there's
always
going
to
be
struggles
with
that.
How
do
we
grow
with
grace?
Preserving
our
natural
assets
and
one
of
those
assets
are
our
people.
The
second
point
to
this
summit
is
going
to
be
about
broadband
access,
followed
by
housing
and
then
transportation.
H
This
summit
is
going
to
include
the
south
central
appalachian
region
as
it's
defined
by
the
appalachian
regional
commission,
and
so
that's
going
to
include
virginia
western
virginia
and
some
of
eastern
tennessee,
because
we
believe
we
have
a
lot
to
learn
from
our
neighbors
in
our
other
states
and
they
probably
have
a
lot
to
learn
from
us.
So
this
four
part
series
is
coming
up,
we'll
make
sure
you
have
information
about
it.
Since
you
are
active
people
in
your
community
looking
to
share
and
learn
best
practices,
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
H
You
know
you
mentioned
the
burton
street
project
brenda
and
I
think
that's
like
a
super
example
of
a
project
that
should
apply
for
the
aarp
community
challenge.
Grant
this
grant
comes
up.
Every
year
we
award
maybe
two
to
ten
twenty
thousand
dollars
somewhere
in
that
range
usually
is
awarded.
There's
no
limit
on
what
you
can
ask
for,
but
my
hint
is
that
that's
a
good
window
of
money
to
ask
for,
and
it's
for
projects
like
the
burton
streak
project,
it's
for
place,
making
initiatives
it's
for
quicker,
build
projects.
H
This
year
in
the
mountain
region,
we
awarded
a
project
in
the
friends
of
city
of
hendersonville.
So
it's
it's
accessible.
It's
something
that
in
our
community,
you
could
fund
a
project
in
your
neighborhood
that
you
think
makes
it
more
livable
and
I'll
be
happy
to
share
tips.
If
you
decide
do
you
want
to
go
for
that
in
2022,
if
any
of
the
neighborhoods,
usually
the
funding
is
available
for
the
applications
february
through
april,
and
then
we're
just
announcing
the
winners
now.
H
H
This
is
a
tool
that
you
may
be
able
to
use
in
making
the
case
for
needs
in
your
neighborhood.
It's
it's
up-to-date
secondary
data
that
aarp
has
pulled
together
at
this
site.
Aarp.Org
livability
index
you
can
type
in
your
street.
Your
address,
your
very
own,
address
an
intersection.
You
could
type
in
a
zip
code
and
you
can
find
a
variety
of
lenses.
You
can
look
at
at
how
livable
is
that
area.
H
So
it's
a
useful
tool
in
working
with
influencers
and
elected
officials
or
just
getting
to
know
what
some
of
the
assets
and
assets
opportunities
and
challenges
are
for
your
community
based
on
data.
So
that's
a
tool.
I
will
move
forward
yep.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
thanks
brenda,
so
we
would
love
to
encourage
and
invite
anyone
here
to
consider
finding
ways
that
we
can
work
together
and
I
know
we've
met
with
brenda
and
she's
shared
some
great
ideas.
H
We
are
fueled
by
volunteers,
that's
our
power
and
we
have.
We
have
some
really
resourceful
people.
So
maybe
you
heard
of
a
program
here
today
that
you
think
would
be
beneficial
in
your
community.
Everything
we
offer
is
free,
and
so
you
can
reach
out
to
us-
and
you
can
say
you
know,
there's
like
my
mom's,
a
caregiver
or
I'm
a
caregiver,
and
I
need
to
plug
into
some
support
and
education.
H
Maybe
you
want
to
find
ways
for
us
to
share
information
with
you
and
I'll.
Let
you
know
some
ways:
you
can
stay
up
to
date
on
what
we're
doing
and
maybe
you're
a
part
of
an
event
that
you're
hosting
in
your
neighborhood,
and
you
think
well
it'd
be
great
to
have
an
arp
table
there.
They
can,
you
know,
talk
about
fraud
and
scam
prevention.
I
know
that
was
a
big
issue
for
my
neighbor
or
any
topic
that
I've
mentioned
so
far
any
of
our
issue
areas.
H
So
I
just
open
up
the
floor
for
a
minute
and
see
if
there
well
actually
we'll
go
to
the
next
slide.
Then
I'll
open
up
the
floor
so
ways
that
we
can
stay
connected
after
this
great
opportunity
to
be
with
you
today
are
we
have
a
regional
webpage
and
that's
the
aarp.org
mountain
nc,
so
all
of
our
upcoming
events
are
listed
there.
We
are
still
in
a
virtual
programming
mode,
at
least
through
september,
but
we've
got
a
lot
of
really
cool
virtual
programs
and
we're
happy
to
partner
on
developing
those.
H
We
do
the
whole
twitter
instagram
thing.
So
that's
our
handle
and
my
contact
information
is
there
as
well.
If
anybody
here
is
interested
in
you
know
volunteering
or
working
together
in
any
other
any
other
number
of
ways.
So
I
would
love
to
hear
from
you
it'd
be
great
to
hear
some
voices
on.
You
know
anything
that
you
heard
today
that
you
weren't
aware
of
before
or
questions
ideas
that
you
have.
C
Hi
rebecca
this
is
anna
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
put
together
the
presentation
and
to
come
to
speak
with
us.
There
are
some
things
that
I
knew
that
aarp
did
just
through
involvement
with
being
multimodal,
but
also
just
my
day-to-day
work
as
far
as
the
tactical
urbanism
initiatives
and
and
some
of
the
adu
initiatives,
but
was
excited
to
hear
more
about
the
community
challenge
grants
and
just
seeing
how
that
can
sort
of
be
an
additional
asset.
C
I
think
to
neighborhoods
that
maybe
want
to
pursue
funding
for
projects
where
either
the
city
doesn't
have
any
more
funding
available
or
the
project
that
they're
looking
for
may
be
a
better
fit
under
the
community
challenge
grant
than
what
the
city's
neighborhood
community
grants
are
doing.
So
I
made
a
lot
of
notes
here
for
information.
H
Great
thanks
anna
and
if
something
comes
up
that
interests,
somebody
outside
of
the
community
challenge
grant
window,
I
would
say,
reach
out
early
and
let's
talk
about
it,
because
sometimes
we
can
find
ways
to
support
a
project
financially
or
in
kind
outside
of
the
grant
process.
So
thanks
that
for
that
anda.
C
Great
brenda,
I
see
your
hands
raised.
A
Rachel,
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
to
this
wonderful
presentation.
I'd
like
to
talk
me
and
jeremy
would
like
jeremy,
and
I
would
like
to
meet
with
you
because,
as
we're
looking
at
investments
in
neighborhoods,
we
can
start
combining
some
of
this.
There
are
some
real
needs
in
the
neighborhood.
I
know
in
some
of
our
communities.
There's
some.
You
know
urban
rehab.
A
That
needs
to
be
done
that
we
could
partner,
maybe
with
habitat
for
humanity,
some
other
folks
that
are
really
trying
to
work
on
doing
like
weatherization
and
different
things,
and
so
we
can
do
partnering,
along
with
the
funding
that
they
can
apply
for
through
the
city.
We
can
really
do
some
amazing
projects.
I'm
looking
forward
to
us
continuing
the
conversation.
H
A
And
phil
is
here
you
guys,
I
don't
know.
What's
going
on
with
his
computer
bless
it's
hard.
He
I've
been
texting
him,
but
he
just
could
not,
and
so
sorry
about
that.
C
This
is
anna
again,
I
have
another
or
just
a
question
for
you.
Do
you
know,
aside
from
the
couple
of
tactical
urbanism
projects,
that
aarp
has
partnered
with
the
city
and
asheville
on
bike
studio
in
town?
If
there
are
any
other
specifics
or
transportation
initiatives
that
you
all
have
sort
of
directly
been
involved
with,
because
I
I
saw
that
you
mentioned
about
you-
know
better
transit
stops
things
like
that,
so
I
was
just
wondering
if,
if
you
all
have
been
involved
in
other
things,
specifically
in
asheville.
H
H
H
Every
three
months
or
so
we
do
a
coffee
with
a
transportation
planner
event
and
we
just
stream.
It
live
on
facebook,
so
that
members
and
non-members
can
be
aware
and
talk
to
our
transportation
planners
directly,
live
and
in
person.
Those
are
some
other
examples
that
come
to
mind
immediately.
We've
done
some
walking,
you
know
programs
and
walking
groups,
but
that's
the
extent
to
our
involvement
so
far
in
this
region.
B
This
is
wendy
hayner.
I
have
a
couple
of
suggestions
that
I'd
like
for
us
to
look
at,
and
that
is
maybe
to
do
a
do
good
activity
for
aarp
in
conjunction
with
a
knack
and
what
we
could
do
is
maybe
look
at
some
of
the
difficulties
in
the
neighborhood
that
they
have,
and
maybe
we
don't
have
enough
trash
cans.
Maybe
they
need
to
start
looking
at
putting
more
trash
cans
out,
so
we
don't
have
so
much
litter
or
maybe
looking
at
the
possibility
of
traffic
lights
on
traffic
cameras.
B
We
have
had
so
many
problems
lately
with
our
police
losing
enough
policemen
that
I
was
seeing
a
lot
of
people
recently
running
red
lights
and
that
would
be
really
bad
in
a
in
a
neighborhood
like
I
live
in
that
I've
seen
some
situations
like
that,
so
I'm
just
thinking
about
aarp
and
how
we
could
actually
do
an
an
activity
along
with
you.
If
you
are
doing
a
cleanup
with
riverlink
or
something
like
that,
we
would
be
more
than
happy
to
join
in
if
that's
possible.
H
Yeah,
that's
a
great,
a
great
great
suggestions.
All
of
them
are
noted,
wendy,
and
you
know
we're
also
happy
to
join
into
an
idea
you
have
where
you
see
in
your
community.
Hey
here's
a
real
issue
like
let's
join
forces
and
make
something
happen
right
now.
We're
still
prohibited
from
doing
in-person
events
till
we're
clear
about
guidance,
but
you
know
as
soon
as
we
get
the
green
light
and
especially
outdoor
events,
it
sounds
like
a
wonderful
idea.
H
I
love
all
the
ideas
that
you've
suggested
yeah
and
I
can
keep
you
informed
of
similar
kind
of
programs
that
we
do
to
see
if
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
wants
to
join
in.
But
let's
keep
the
line
of
communication
open
because
you
know
what's
happening
on
your
street
thanks.
I
sab
had
her
hand
up.
B
C
Thank
you.
This
is
anna
again,
I
think,
since
we
are
wanting
to
be
cognizant
of
everyone's
time
he's
tuning
in
as
well
as
rebecca's
time
and
the
committee
members
time
we'll
go
ahead
and
wrap
up
now
but
rebecca.
I
think
just
sharing
your
contact
information
with
us
as
well
or
you
know.
C
If
folks
are
interested
in
getting
on
some
sort
of
contact
list
or
mailing
list,
we
can
work
to
make
that
happen
to
just
sort
of
stay,
updated
on
on
new
programs
or
initiatives
or,
if
there's
anything
that
comes
to
mind
and
how
to
get
their
community
involved
or
or
look
at
a
specific
issue
that
they
maybe
want
to
seek
assistance
with.
So
again,
thank
you
for
presenting.
Oh
yeah,
go
ahead,
jump
in
brenda.
A
C
Yeah,
thank
you
phil
as
well
for
attending.
Even
if
we
weren't
able
to
get
connected
with
you.
G
C
And
again,
thank
you,
rebecca
for
taking
the
time
to
just
share
with
us
all
the
different
ways
that
it
sounds
like.
I
think
folks
can
get
involved
with
aarp
on
a
neighborhood
level
to
like
you
said,
build
capacity
and
and
do
good
things.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
All
right
moving
on
now
we
are
going
to
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
neighborhood
working
neighborhood
hero
working
group.
Vet.
Excuse
me
to
provide
us
an
update
on
making
changes
to
the
potential
nomination
process
and
awards
process.
C
D
Hi
this
is
greta
mike
or
wendy.
If
you
wouldn't
mind,
I
am
in
transit,
so
it'd
be
difficult
for
me
to
speak.
Would
one
of
you
be
able
to
give
a
good
summary?
F
I
have
a
child
care
dude.
I
had
to
be
kind
of
loud
around
here.
D
Okay,
I
will
just
go
really
quick,
then,
let's
see
so
we
took.
Let
me
just
pull
it
up.
D
Okay,
so
the
three
of
us
talked
and
we
kind
of
talked
about
what
we
thought
might
be
stopping
people
from
it
seems
like
it's
been
hard
to
get
nominations,
so
we
have
a
few
recommendations
on
some
changes
and
maybe
try
to
make
this
award
a
little
less
intimidating.
Perhaps
so
our
first
suggestion
is.
D
Our
second
suggestion
is
that
we
do
more
of
a
quarterly
call
out
for
a
neighborhood
volunteer
spotlight,
so
it's
not
as
comprehensive
of
a
submission,
but
it
would
be
like
a
smaller
just
little
like
shine
on
somebody
in
the
community
and
if
it
becomes
we're
hoping
that
if
it
becomes
more
of
a
regular
thing
that
more
people
will
know
about
it,
and
might
it
might
start
people
thinking
about.
Oh
who
could
I
nominate
for
that?
D
So
it
would
just
be
a
short
write-up
about
something
a
neighbor
is
doing
and-
and
we
would
kind
of
outline
suggestions
for
people
again
to
try
to
get
ideas
going
in
other
people's
heads
on
who
they
could
nominate.
So
it
would
be
somebody
helping
to
do
a
petition
or
advocate
for
their
neighborhood
or
someone
who's,
picking
up
litter
every
week
or
the
person
who
organizes
all
the
social
gatherings
and
we
can
even
suggest
subcategories,
like
maybe
a
neighborhood
communicator
or
advocate,
or
a
neighborhood
organizer.
D
Suggestions
like
that,
and
we
thought
these
spotlights
could
be
featured
on
the
city's
social
media
as
well
as
in
the
neighborhood
e-news,
and
maybe
even
in
an
ad
in
the
mountain
express
or
the
citizen
times
and
possibly
even
pitch
to
wlos.
Just
to
have
like
a
feel-good
story.
Sometimes
wlos
likes
those
and
depending
on
the
spotlight.
It
could
be
an
opportunity
to
highlight
other
resources
for
neighborhoods.
So,
for
example,
if
the
spotlight
is
someone
who
organizes
cleanups,
we
could
add
a
brief
closing
that
says.
D
If
you'd
like
to
organize
your
own
cleanup
contact,
asheville
greenworks,
you
know
they'll
supply
you
with
the
gear.
You
need
that
sort
of
thing
and
we
would
like
to
open
it
up
to
both
present
and
historic
activities
that
people
have
done.
There's
so
many
great
things
that
people
are
doing
across
the
city.
D
D
Let's
see
oh
and
then
the
volunteer
of
the
year
would
be
chosen
from
those
spotlights.
So
that
way
we
have
like
at
least
four
to
choose
from,
but
we
would
also
suggest
that
we
focus
on
the
volunteer
of
the
year.
D
D
Can
you
all
hear
me,
I
feel
like
I'm
just
talking
into
a
like
a
headset
here,
we
can
hear
you
greta
you're,
doing
great,
okay,
okay,
thank
you
and
then.
Lastly,
let's
see
in
an
effort
to
simplify
the
submissions,
we
recommend.
I
already
mentioned
that
we
wrote
up
a
little
a
brief
press
release
that
we
can
have
shared
we
kind
of
finished
our
edits,
real
close
to
this
deadline.
So
I
don't
think
anyone
has
these
notes
that
I'm
looking
at
yet.
D
So
we
came
up
with
a
brief
press
release
that
hopefully
captures
this.
The
essence
of
the
things
that
I'm
speaking
about
right
now,
potentially
also
in
addition
to
a
press
release
sharing
a
like
an
infographic
or
some
kind
of
jpeg,
that
neighborhood
leaders
can
just
post
on
their
different
social
media
platforms
or
in
their
own
e-newsletter.
D
D
Yes,
I
haven't
gotten
yeah,
okay,
yeah.
I
was
going
to
mention
that
next,
so
I
it
would
be
nice
if
I
think
currently,
people
have
to
download
a
pdf.
D
So
it
would
be
nice
if
this
could,
if
the
submission
could
be
a
google
form
that
can
just
be
submitted
on
the
city's
website,
and
it
would
go
to
both
brenda
and
our
chairs,
but
also
just
a
a
gmail
account
or
something
a
link
that
we
could
all
see.
So
it's
just
easy
for
everyone
to
access
to
see
who's
submitted,
but
yeah.
When
we
were
thinking
about
that,
we
noticed
that
it
is
pretty
difficult
to
find
the
neighborhood
services
page
like
it's
not
intuitive.
D
D
But
there
isn't
anything
that
says:
neighborhood
services
there,
so
that
could
be
a
place
for
it
and
then
I
think
mike
had
found
a
place
where
it
could
be
listed
under,
engage
so
just
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
for
people
who
are
just
landing
on
the
homepage
to
find,
because
I
think
I'm
not
sure
that
a
lot
of
residents
realize
that
the
neighborhood
services
department
is
in
the
communications
department.
So
they
might
not
think
to
look
there.
D
So
just
trying
to
think
of
all
the
ways
that
we
can
make
this
like
easy
for
people
to
apply
and
then
yeah
when
we
have
the
google
form.
Ideally,
the
communications
are
are
pretty
simple
and
then
the
google
form
would
include
any
further
details
like
those
suggested
different
subcategories
that
I
had
mentioned
about
like
either
neighborhood
communicator
or
neighborhood
organizer
that
sort
of
thing
yeah.
So
wendy.
Can
you
think
of
anything
else
that
I
didn't
say.
That's
everything.
I've
got
on
my
notes
here.
B
Yeah,
I
think,
you've
covered
everything
that
we
discussed.
We
recommended
moving
the
deadline
for
the
volunteer
of
the
year
away
from
the
holiday
and
into
the
mid-year.
B
What
we
found
is
that
when
it's
during
the
holiday,
a
lot
of
people
are
so
busy
with
all
the
other
activities
that
they
don't
really
think
about
a
someone
that
they'd
like
to
nominate
for
their
neighborhood.
So
we
suggest
that
moving
it
from
january,
the
holiday
season
to
more
in
the
middle
of
the
year,
maybe
july
or
june,
when
the
spring
is
out
and
the
gardens
are
being
done.
This
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
people
to
start
looking
at
people
to
nominate
that's
about
it.
D
D
Yeah,
I
think
there
was
one
piece
that
we
had
left
hanging
that
we
thought
we
could
also
discuss
tonight,
which
is
just
the
timing
of
everything
like
you
were
saying,
and
that
mike
had
suggested
to
us
that
we
need
to
reconcile
the
quarterly
submission
versus
the
deadline
for
volunteer
of
the
year.
So
if
we
start
now,
you
know
with
quarterly
then
by
this
time
next
year
we
would
have
those
four
to
choose
the
volunteer
of
the
year
from,
but
we
weren't
sure
if
people
on
the
committee
had
different
ideas
about
timing.
F
The
main
thing
was
too
is
just
like
whether
we're
gonna
we
can
have
the
capacity
to
do
a
rolling
submission
if
we
have
a
task
force.
That's
looking
at
the
submissions
and
and
doing
that
sort
of
thing,
and
then
you
know,
at
which
point
we
have
a
deadline,
that
we
would
end
up,
picking
the
volunteer
of
the
year
and
yeah
that
I
think
that's
we're
exploring
those
options
and
that
it
is
going
to
ultimately
be
up
to
the
people
that
will
be
making
those
decisions.
D
Yeah
the
task
force
could
actually
address
the
timing
issue,
because
I
know
that
if
we
chose
during
the
summer,
that's
when
we
get
some
new
like
that
people
rotate
off
around
our
annual
meeting
or
whatever
we
call
it
retreat.
But
if
there's
an
ongoing
task
force,
if
anybody
were
to
rotate
off
and
rotate
on,
then
there
would
still
be
like
a
a
unified
body
that
is
in
the
know
about
you
know
what's
going
on
so
hopefully
that
would
help
smooth
things
out.
D
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
or
comments,
or
maybe
we
just
need
to
send
this
out,
so
people
can
read
it
and
digest
it,
and
maybe
we
should
you
know
at
the
next
meeting,
come
back
and
talk
it
over
so
that
I
don't
know
that
we
would
take
any
action
tonight
on
this,
because
people
haven't
had
a
chance
to
digest
it.
C
This
is
anna,
thank
you,
greta,
wendy
and
michael
for
doing
the
work
to
sort
of
get
creative
on
how
we
might
approach
the
award
and
recognition.
I
think
differently,
moving
forward
to
make
it
more
accessible,
and
I
I
think
I
tend
to
agree
that
it's
a
lot
of
information.
C
It's
a
lot
of
good
information,
but
I
think
it
would
be
really
helpful
for
the
rest
of
knack
to
sort
of
have
something
in
written
form
that
folks
can
sort
of
review
and
take
some
time
to
digest
and
think
about,
and
I
think
for
for
me
before
because
I
I
know
we
have
to
wrap
up
this
item
really
quickly.
Like
you
said,
I
don't
think
any
action
needs
taken
or
or
it
would
be
premature
to
do
so
at
this
meeting.
C
But
the
biggest
question
I
have
is
addressed
to
brenda
as
far
as
just
sort
of
capacity-wise.
Is
there
any
sort
of
anything
that
you
see
in
this
sort
of
initial
set
of
recommendations
that
might
be
hard
to
implement.
A
I
don't
I
don't
have
any
heartburn
the
issue
when
you
talk
about
doing
something
quarterly.
I
just
need
to
know
details
if,
because
you're
asking
you
know
that
I
mean
my
office
would
have
to
take
care
of
making
sure
those,
I
think,
you've
written
the
press
release.
So
if
you've
done
everything
and
it's
just
a
matter
of
getting
it
to
our
social
media
person,
absolutely
I
think
the
next
steps
need
to
be.
If
you
can
send
those
notes,
I'll
put
that
in
the
meeting
folder
for
everybody.
A
If
you
could
work
on
the
questions
for
the
google
form,
you've
got
the
press
release
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
when
you
come
back,
we
can
look
at
all
of
that
and
then
go
from
there
once
the
materials
are
done.
It's
just
a
matter
of
getting
it
out
and
getting
it
back,
you
know
and
what
we
would
do,
I
think
quarterly
would
be
some
type
of
certificate
and
then
we
would
give
the
plaque
for
the
for
the
winner
from
those
from
that
group
of
people.
So
I
do
think
everybody
should
get
honorable
mention.
C
This
is
anna
thanks
for
that
brenda,
and
thank
you
all
again
for
working
on
that.
I
I
like
the
the
direction
that
it's
headed
and
the
ideas
that
you've
you've
brought
up.
C
And
a
nomination,
so
I
think
if
and
unless
I
see
any
hands
raised,
I
think
we'll
just
go
ahead
and
get
that
document
out
to
the
rest
of
the
committee
to
review
and
kind
of
think
about,
and
we
can
revisit
that
at
our
august
meeting
and
I
think
we've
got
a
good
foundation
for
making
some
of
those
changes.
So
thanks
y'all,
thank
you.
C
I
don't
see
any
hands
raised
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
on
and
we
will
wrap
up
this
meeting.
So
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
our
knack
member
updates
on
other
boards.
Right
now,
we
typically
get
monthly
updates
on
the
open
space
task
force
and
the
multimodal
transportation
commission
sharon
and
I
are
on
the
open
space
task
force.
C
Sharon
really
is
the
point
person
or,
I
would
say
our
primary
knack,
liaison
on
that
and
is
not
here
tonight
to
give
us
an
update,
and
unfortunately,
I
have
not
checked
in
with
her
as
I
have
not
been
able
to
attend
the
past
couple
of
open
space
task
force
meetings.
So
I
don't
have
anything
to
really
share
with
you
all
today,
but
I'll
see.
C
If
I
can
get
with
sharon
and
maybe
get
a
quick
synopsis
of
where
the
task
force
is
at
before
our
next
meeting
for
multimodal
that's
really
easy,
the
way
that
those
meetings
fall.
I
had
a
report
to
give
to
you
last
meeting,
but
our
july
meeting
is
actually
on
wednesday,
so
we
haven't
had
any
multimodal
meetings
since
our
last
snack
meeting.
C
So
that
takes
us
to
our
agenda
items
for
upcoming
meetings
and
right
now,
for
our
august
meeting,
oh
go
ahead!
Wendy
I
see
your
hands
raised.
B
Thank
you
so
much
anna,
I
have
a
question
brenda
and
that
is
lucy
crown.
Were
we
able
to
work
with
her
on
the
skid
pads
to
see
if
she
was
going
to
be
able
to
come
and
speak
to
us
about
the
the
braille
skidpad
status
of
something.
C
For
that,
I
think
I
know
what
you're
talking
about
so
yeah
related.
This
is
anna
related
to
agenda
items
for
upcoming
meetings.
We
are
having
lucy.
Hopefully,
it
sounds
like
at
our
august
meeting,
come
give
us
a
presentation
on
the
close,
the
gap
project
that
the
city
is,
I
think,
sort
of
in
its
final
stages
of
of
doing,
which
is
the
greenway
ada
and
pedestrian
plan
for
the
city
and
to
answer
your
question
wendy.
C
That
is
a
presentation
where
you
should
be
able
to
ask
wendy
for
at
least
some
preliminary
updates
on
like
truncated
gnomes,
I
think,
is
what
you
were
likely
referring
to
at
crosswalks.
Where
so
for
folks
who
are
visually
impaired,
so
yeah,
we
should
be
getting
a
close.
The
gap
update
in
august
from
lucy,
it
sounds
like
we'll
also
be
getting
a
neighborhood
grants
program
update
from
brenda
and
staff
at
our
august
meeting
and
then
for
future
meetings.
C
Right
now,
we're
still
looking
to
find
a
time
that
doesn't
conflict
for
chris
collins
to
give
us
a
presentation
on
the
technical
review
committee
and
its
functions
and
how
it
relates
to
the
work
that
knack
does
we're.
Also,
looking
to
hopefully
get
an
update
on
reimagining
public
safety
and
someone
from
the
police
department
regarding,
like
community
resource
officer,
presentations
and
and
continuing
community
engagement,
and
then
also
brenda
I'll
turn
this
over
to
you
really
quickly.
Since
you
you
brought
it
up
and
it
seems
like
it's
a
a
good
idea.
C
I'll
acknowledge
you
in
just
a
second
mike,
but
regarding
board
training,
and
is
that
and
that,
as
a
future
item.
A
So
one
of
the
things
I
suggested,
because
we
have
so
many
new
members
that
we
have
a
time
when
we
take
maybe
three
four
hours
with
a
lunch
or
with
breakfast
in
the
morning
to
really
kind
of
dig
in
talking
about
board
service
jp
has
some
good
questions
about
the
mission,
vision
and
goals.
You
know
things
change
over
time
since
2012.
A
You
know
a
lot
has
changed
with
our
neighborhoods
with
our
government,
like
with
our
focus,
we've
done
a
20
we've
done
a
new
comprehensive
plan,
so
it'd
be
great
time
to
kind
of
do
some
board
training
how
to
vote
in
boards
like,
for
example,
when
we
call
for
motions
in
seconds
there
shouldn't
be
five
minutes
of
silence.
A
Just
because
you
motion
in
second
doesn't
mean
you
approve
the
the
thing
the
whatever
the
motion
is.
It
just
means
it
moves
it
forward.
So
we
want
to
kind
of
take
some
time
to
do
that.
Looking
at
around
the
september
october
time
frame
before
it
gets
too
cold
and
too
dark
at
five.
A
We
do
it
during
the
day
if
we
could
manage
it
and
we
could
schedule
it
in
time
to
be
helpful
for
everybody
and
then
we
just
plant
it
find
a
location
to
be
at
we'd,
be
in
person,
and
then
you
need
to
talk
about
take
some
time
to
talk
about
what
you
want.
We
have
some
main
things
we
want
to
get
trained
and
anna
mentioned
having
some
presentations.
So
maybe
that's
the
time
to
bring
chris
collins
in
about
technical
review
committee
because
he
does
have
a
complex
conflict.
A
I'm
sorry
with
our
fourth
monday
meeting.
So
maybe
he
could
come
during
the
day.
We
can
give
him,
give
it
to
the
time
a
half
an
hour
he
could
present
for
ten
minutes.
You
guys
could
ask
questions
and
then
we
could
continue.
You
know
bringing
them
in
over
time,
so
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out.
There.
C
Thanks
brenda
mike,
I
saw
your
hand,
was
raised
earlier,
so
please
go
ahead.
F
Yeah
I
was
hoping
at
some
point.
We
could
have
a
future
meeting
that
would
be
regarding
neighborhood
meetings
with
developers
or
developer
arranged
meetings
with
neighborhoods.
I
just
recently
found
out
there's
a
five-story
tower
proposed,
that's
within
a
thousand
feet
of
my
home,
and
it's
just.
I
saw
that
the
neighborhood
meeting
happened
last
month
and
I
had
no
awareness
of
it.
It's
within
the
downtown
zoning,
so
I
understand
that
it
might
have
just
been
the
downtown
neighborhood
association
that
would
have
been
notified,
but
we
we
do,
we
are
adjacent
to
it.
F
So
I
also
know
there's
been
other
concerns
for
other
neighborhoods,
such
as
oakhurst,
with
other
developments,
that
those
processes
and
and
the
way
those
meetings
have
been
conducted
have
had
some,
maybe
some
shortcomings
that
should
be
discussed.
I
don't
know
who
exactly
we
need
to
discuss
that
with,
but
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
thing
to
do.
C
This
is
anna.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
can
definitely
look
into.
I
think
also
what
would
be
helpful
for
me
regarding
that,
and
maybe
all
of
us,
if,
if
we
come
to
the
table
and
have
an
agenda
item
in
the
future
on
that
topic,
is
just
sort
of
getting
up
to
speed
on
what
the
current
requirements
are
and
the
current
processes
and
everybody
familiarizing
themselves
with
that,
and
so
I
know
that
some
of
that
information
is
available
on
the
city
website.
C
Brenda,
if
there's
any
other
information
that
you
know
of
that,
you
think
might
be
good
to
augment
that
definitely
feel
free
to
send
that
our
way-
and
I
think
that
is
also
an
opportunity
for
now
to
maybe
sort
of
recommend
some
changes
on
how
how
things
are
currently
working,
if,
if
folks
are
seeing
some
shortcomings
with
those
processes,
so.
A
I'll
send
out
an
email
just
specifically
on
development.
I'm
going
to
encourage
you
again
for
those
of
you
who
knew
you
will
this
won't.
This
will
be
new
to
you
for
those
of
you,
who've
been
on
the
board.
You
need
to
sign
up
for
development
notification.
A
If
you
sign
up.
That
means
you
get
notification
when
the
application
is
put
in,
there's
also
a
place
and
I'll
give
you
all
those
links
on
simplicity
where
it
shows
a
calendar
of
when
neighborhood
meetings
are
going
on.
A
I
know
I
met
with
chris
and
sasha
vertonsky
in
planning
and
we're
working
around
giving
them
some
some
suggestions
about
how
meetings
should
be
handled
if
the
documentation
that
I
am
seeing
is
that
they're
doing
pretty
darn
good
job
they're
they're
mailing
letters
within
beyond
the
200
feet,
but
if
we're
missing
stuff
need
need
that
feedback,
because
chris
nem
really
appreciate
that
feedback,
so
it's
development
services,
they're
handling.
All
of
that
and
then
we
can,
you
know,
go
from
there
definitely.
D
F
E
A
E
C
Okay,
this
is
anna,
thank
you,
so
potentially
traffic
calming
and
how
to
how
to
initiate
a
traffic
calming
request
or
or
get
some
assistance
from
the
city
as
a
future
agenda
item
as
well.
I
appreciate
both
mike
and
jp
for
providing
some
additional
items
for
future
agendas.
C
It'll
keep
our
our
pipeline
full
and
make
sure
that
we've
got
presentations
and
information,
that's
valuable
for
next.
So
with
that
said,
our
next
regular
meeting
is
scheduled
for
monday
august
23rd
2021
at
5
pm.
It
will
be
in
person
rather
than
virtual,
and
so
our
in-person
meeting
will
take
place
at
the
first
floor
conference
room
in
asheville
city
hall
and
the
public
will
still
be
able
to
leave
voice
and
email
comments
for
in-person
meetings.
C
Meetings
will
be
recorded
via
google
meet
and
provided
online
on
the
neck
web
page,
and
so
there
will
be
directions
on
the
city's
engagement
hub
for
how
to
participate
in
that
meeting,
and
so
that
moves
us
to
adjournment,
and
I
will
now
go
ahead
and
adjourn
the
meeting
unless
any
objections
and
so
adjourned.
Thank
you
all,
and
we
will
see
you
in
august
take
care
everyone.
