A
I'm
anxious
to
get
going
on
this
because
we
have
did
you
notice
the
agenda?
We
have
rearranged
things
so
that
the
ifas
are
updating
the
scores
at
the
beginning.
A
But
welcome
to
the
community
reparations
commission
meeting
for
February
20th,
and
it's
just
a
couple
of
remarks.
A
One
is
that
I've
asked
for
you
to
consider
yet
another
level
of
work.
We've
asked
for
volunteers.
We
need
the
new
Korean
War
join
us
for
his
audit
volunteer
working
group,
we're
asking
members
of
the
commission
to
join
with
staffers
in
city
and
county
as
well
as
civility
as
we
scope
out
what
should
be
audited
and
the
nature
of
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done.
We
take
this
thing
through
before
it
actually
gets
going
and
we
can
also
a
chance
for
groups
to
bid
on
the
contract.
A
So
please
consider
volunteer
employees
work
group.
The
second
is
that
we
put
forward.
As
you
know,
the
city
and
the
county
accepted
I,
believe
both
bodies
unanimously
to
the
cessation
of
the
harm,
stop
the
harm
resolution
that
we
sent
to
them,
and
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
point
out
to
you
is
that
this.
A
What
we're
doing
here
is
relevant
to
the
news
that's
coming
out
today,
and
you
know
that
the
reports
just
in
education
are
begin
to
grade
and
the
course
exam
results
are
indicating
that
the
disparities
that
we
are
dressing
are
again
in.
Education
are
greater
now
than
any
time
that
I
can
remember
and
I
I
I'm
tracing
this
work
since
2006.,
officially
with
a
student
and
undergraduate
research
project,
but
my
first
touching
on
it
was
actually
1980
86.
A
When
the
California
achievement
test
had
disappeared
and
we
thought
that
we
were
in
emergency
mode.
Then
the
reports
that
just
came
out
those
disparities
are
larger
because
they've
ever
been
and
he
put
it
on
a
pandemic
or
to
say
it
takes
time
and
to
act
like
as
well
as
this
is
just
part
of
what
we
have
known.
This
has
stopped
the
harm
now
and
so
the
work
that
you're
doing
the
proposal,
you're
taking,
are
very
relevant.
B
C
B
D
F
A
A
B
B
Sure
so
what
I
like
to
do
is
not
use
our
time
to
go
through
the
survey
data
here.
What
I'd
like
for
y'all
to
do
is
you
know
when
you
get
a
chance
to
review
that
survey
data?
Let
us
know
if
you
do
have
questions
it's
been
provided
to
you
printed
out
and
also
virtually
especially.
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
just
talk
about
really
quickly.
B
A
good
portion
of
the
commission
has
completed
their
agreement,
their
work
agreement
and
stipends
agreement,
and
so
I
know
that
several
people
were
not
able
to
complete
it
online.
So
what
I
did
was
I
just
printed
it
out
before
you
leave
today.
If
you
could
just
get
a
copy
of
this
and
fill
it
out
in
person
that
way,
I
can
make
sure
that
everyone
receives
their
stipends
and
we
are
all
good
in
terms
of
paperwork
and
so
I
do
have
you
know
your
names
here.
Just
come
see
me
prior
to
leaving.
A
Before
we
moved
into
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
I
the
eye
of
days,
let
me
say
to
you
that
I
realized
some
many
of
you
on
the
call
or
come
by
my
house
and
as
you
as
you're,
talking
to
me,
I've
realized
how
busy
you
are
and
I
appreciate
the
attention
that
you've,
given
those
of
you
sitting
at
the
table
and
you're,
seeing
those
absences
or
when
people
start
being
late,
don't
think
of
it
as
Folk
operating
at
CP
time.
That's
not
what's
happening.
A
Your
schedules
are
for
me
intimidating
and
you're.
Still
here
doing
this
work
and
I
appreciate
you,
the
other
part
of
that
is
this
submit.
Several
of
you
have
also
encountered
doing
this
work,
while
remaining
black
the
the
state,
the
the
state
of
black
ash.
Was
this
undergraduate
research
project,
I've
known
for
so
many
years,
I've
been
before
I
retired.
A
Those
statistics
were
real
regarding
our
health
and
wellness
regarding
our
family
status
in
our
economic
conditions.
Those
things
continue,
despite
your
official
roles
in
your
in
on
this
commission
or
even
in
the
community,
and
if
you
find
yourself
feeling
overwhelmed
Reach,
Out,
Reach,
Out
you're,
not
by
yourself
I
mean
if
we
don't
show
the
community
that
we
can
be
Community.
How
can
we
expect
it?
A
In
other
words,
this
repairing
the
damage
inside
of
ourselves
first
offer
recommendations
for
the
community,
but
reach
out
if
you're
feeling
a
little
boy,
it's
okay
themselves,
the
support
I'm,
anxious
to
hear
the
ifas,
and
on
that
we
it
looks
as
though
we
have
education
who's,
giving
that
report.
B
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
of
the
I
think
spokespersons
are
ready
to
present
we're
going
to
be
presenting
at
the
podium
a
couple
of
notes
about
these
presentations.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
as
much
time
as
possible
to
hear
from
the
IFA
recommendation
overviews,
and
so
we
actually
have
a
timekeeper
to
be
Tara.
Brown
really
is
also
our
educate.
B
Excuse
me,
our
Economic
Development
Isa
facilitator,
so
each
IFA
will
get
10
minutes
to
present
there's
a
two-minute
warning
which
is
in
yellow
and
then
the
time
is
up.
Sign
is
in
red,
and
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
absolutely
moving
through
these
presentations
and
we're
also
going
to
be
providing
some
comment
in
question
cards,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
thoughts
can
get
in
the
room
today.
B
So
we're
we're
gonna
pass
these
out
during
the
presentation
and
if
you
could
hold
your
questions,
so
I
think
I
think
it
is
the
discussion.
There
is
a
follow-up
portion,
that'll
be
20
minutes,
and
so,
if
you
keep
those
on
these
comment
cards,
we
will
return
back
to
that
part
where
you
can
read
them
aloud
or
have
a
facilitator.
Read
them
aloud
in
that
room
and
we
can.
We
can
go
home
with
these
comment
cards
as
well.
B
A
A
A
G
All
right,
good
evening,
everybody,
we
are
GI
education
last
day,
as
you
can
see
up
here,
we
meet
on
the
second
and
fourth
Tuesday
of
every
month
at
the
YWCA.
Everybody
is
welcome
to
join
us.
If
you
can,
for
the
members,
are.
G
Obviously,
the
racial
opportunity
gap,
which
has
been
driven
even
gotten
more
information
to
the
reasons
on
compounding
the
report
that
came
out
I
think
last
week,
loss
of
community
for
Children
and
Families
we're
also
looking
at
one
of
the
harms
is
suspension
and
expulsion
rate.
Just
you
know
black
students
in
the
public
schools,
so
those
are
the
areas
that
we've
been
researching
and
trying
to
come
up
with
a
solution
for
right
now
we
have
a
couple
of
recommendations
in
the
works.
G
Stay
here,
another
recommendation
that
we
have
not
really
started
working
on
yet
to
talk
about
it.
Quite
a
bit
is
creating
some
community-based
educational
programming
involving
tutoring
and
mentoring
programs
and
supplementary
education
programs
to
try
and
address
some
of
the
academic
issues
that
we
that
we
see
in
our
Public
Schools,
the
third
one
that
we
have
in
the
works
that
we
have
drawn
up.
You're
kind
of
drawn
up
with
this
one
already
has
to
do
with
school,
suspensions
and
explosions.
G
H
Essentially,
where
we
are
now
is
the
pretty
much
put
together
the
proposal
we
met
with
data
team
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
struggles
that
we've
learned
is
that
the
data
for
the
city
and
county
is
only
going
back
for
the
last
10
years,
which
puts
what
we're
trying
to
propose
a
little
bit
in
Jeopardy,
because
you
know
this
is
essentially
been
going
on
for
longer
than
the
10
plus
years.
H
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
eventually
want
to
bring
to
the
commission
is:
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
get
the
data
for
the
years
before
2012.?
So
right
now
we
have
proposals
which
pretty
much
address
the
harms,
but
we're
missing
the
key
data,
the
periods,
the
I
guess
from
these.
These
dates
that
have
occurred
before
that.
So
our
our
drafts
right
now
are
great,
except
for
we're
now
looking
to
dig
in
to
find
the
data,
the
stories,
the
key
information
that
actually
you
know,
should
be
to
the
harm.
I
H
Is
to
meet
with
the
other
ifas
to
essentially
discuss
how
our
proposals
has
stopped
the
harms
correlate
with
Focus
areas
so
that
you
can
kind
of
see
here.
The
main
thing
is
with
housings
is
that
trying
to
recruit
teachers
with
no
place
for
them
to
stay
are
afford
to
work
is
a
key.
It's
a
key
harm
and
a
key
struggle
for.
Why
there's
a
lack
of
black
teachers
and
then
Economic
Development.
H
We
see
that
there's
a
correlation
between
wages,
so
we
do
know
that
in
North
Carolina
the
wages
for
teachers
is
lower
than
all
across
the
U.S,
so
working
with
them
to
come
up
with
some
kind
of
proposal
so
that
it's
affordable
for
teachers
to
want
to
actually
come
and
teach
in
the
city
or
county
and
then
as
Mr
Gordon
share.
Criminal
justice
is
one
of
the
key
harms
that
we're
looking
at
as
far
as
suspicions
and
expulsions,
they.
I
H
I
H
Essentially,
most
of
the
teachers,
black
teachers
in
Asheville
or
the
city
or
county
who
we
discussed
with
one
of
the
key
things,
is
that
there
is
not
supportive
across
the
board
for
them
to
be
able
to
check
in
with
other
teachers
and
Educators
to
continue
on.
H
The
data,
if
you
takeaways,
that
we
have
and
go
into
the
communities
and
we've
been
inviting
teachers
Educators
students
to
our
ifas
to
get
some
input.
But
the
next
step
is
to
essentially
not
pose
these
draft
arms
to
communities
and
get
feedback
on
what
they
think.
So
far
from
what
we
have.
We
also
plan
to
take
our
report
IFA
within
the
next
month,
for
how
we
can
correlate
and
put
together
a
final
proposal
of
recommendation.
K
Please
well
I
have
kind
of
like
a
couple
of
questions.
Do
you
know
I'm?
Sorry,
do
you
know
possible
of
a
Buncombe
County
City
percentage
of
African-American
teachers,
and
or
would
you
happen
to
know
or
maybe
get
an
interview,
welcome,
County
and
City
Teachers?
What
the
percentage
is.
G
G
L
G
K
G
A
K
Okay
and
I
got
one
more
question:
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
sorry,
I
just
had
these
questions
and
I
I
know
you
said
you're
working
on
this
I,
just
don't
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
why
the
data
gets
misplaced
after
10
years.
K
H
I
will
essentially,
they
can
only
go
back
to
get
data
that's
collected,
but
without
addressing
that
too
far,
that's
one
of
the
main
things
we
want
to
eventually
put
on
the
agenda
because
all
ifas
are
going
to
run
into
this
issue
is
not
just
for
education
and
So
within
our
group
we
want
to
discuss.
Is
there
either
a
way
either
with
an
audit
where
we
have
senior
council
members
actually
responsible
for
Gathering,
that
or
if
there's
a
budget
for
a
group
or
an
individual
that
works
with
the
commission
that
can
gather
that
information
so.
H
F
M
We
are
it's
all
about
the
economic
development
and
we
met
last
Thursday.
M
One
of
the
things
a
few
of
the
things
we
was
talking
about
is
establishing
small
business,
incubator
and
hubs
and
all
his
stores
we
have
been
wearing
in
neighborhoods.
You
can
talk
about
Contracting
and
retailerizing.
M
M
Another
thing
we
talked
about
is
providing
money
for
existing
storefront
black
businesses.
You
know
someone
that
you'll
see
money
to
help
support
them.
If
you
know
they
have
been
working
through
and
saying
in
business,
under
on
some
very
strenuous
conditions
and
also
supporting
you
know:
backyard
home
businesses,
we
also
talked
about
Workforce
Development
training
that
would
start
within
the
school
system
and
and
the
communities.
M
We
talk
about
wages
and
Economic
Development
projects
on
city
land
like
we
know
that
they're
hard
to
land
in
the
city
and
out
in
the
county.
So
how
can
we
start
identifying
those
properties
right
now
and
developing?
You
know
Economic
Development,
I,
say
ecosystems
in
those
areas
that
will
support
you
know
economic
development
of
African-American
businesses
and
neighborhoods
create
a
business.
Corridor
I
think
we
was
talking
about
with
the
space
over
there
on
Charlotte
Street
right
there
from
saving
fires.
We
know
that
that's
currently
City
or
property
and
that's
supposed
to
be
redeveloped.
M
M
Right
now
we
know
church
is
a
whole.
You
know
they
hold
on
to
some
land.
So
how
do
we
give
churches
and
different
Community
associations,
the
economic
capacity
to
maintain
their
position
and
then
grow
it
and
be
a
model
for
the
city
of
Kelly
and
then,
of
course,
Financial
Education
and
Training,
and
that
how
do
we
make
this
last
forever?
You
know
what
systems
or
structures
that
we
create,
that
that
allows
this
process
to
be
regenerative
and
it
keeps
growing
and
growing.
M
M
Else
so
this
right
here,
I
guess
this
is
the
public
process
for
reparations,
but
we
know
that
yeah
also
needs
to
be
a
private
establishment
for
reparations,
and
then
there
needs
to
be
some
reparations
in
this
room
with
the
22
members.
It's
like
how
do
we
get
the
members
that
was
chosen
to
lead
this
process
to
be
the
first,
in
this
case
the
the
sample
or
what
it
would
look
like
outside
of
this
room,
and
how
do
we
connect
the
dots?
M
N
Now
I
just
had
a
question
when
Dwayne
was
speaking
about.
How
could
we,
you
know,
set
those
things
up
and
keep
you
sustainable
it's
by
setting
up
a
dress
for
it.
You
know,
keep
it
in
the
way.
It's
just
generate
income
and
those
approval
from
it.
We're
just
stand
there
and
continue
to
just
build
that
world
for
the
black
community.
A
I
realize
it's
part
of
the
norm
to
accept
comments
and
questions
from
folk
who
are
not
on
this
Mission
but
I'm
not
seeing
questions
from
the
commission.
It's
just
this
one.
Are
there
that's
good,
let's
go
to
if
the
questions
come
to,
you
now
write
them
down.
I
B
Tara
was
saying
that
Dwayne
Richardson's
also
a
person
for
economic
development,
and
so
she
is
communicating
with
him
through
text,
so
he
might
submit
some
questions
as
well
that
we
can
put
in
the
room.
Thank.
E
P
P
We
have
been
concentrating
and
have
had
several
categories
of
when
we
were
doing
the
process
of
brainstorming
and
organically
develop
categories
funnel
Rising.
So
you'll
see
that
when
we've
talked
about
harms
addressed,
we
felt
that
health
and
wellness
impacts
everybody
period
of
what
Buncombe
County
talked
about
racism
being
one
of
the
public
health
issues.
So
this
seems
to
connect
all
of
our
ifas
to
some
extent.
Well,
what
you'll
notice
is
what
we
were
talking
about
key
problems
in
here
and
the
health
disparities
leading
to
Deaths
of
African
Americans.
P
F
P
This
was,
you
know,
creating
non-communitive.
These
are
just
suggestions,
access
for
to
substance,
abuse
treatment,
it's
a
big
one
when
you
think
there
are
constantly
issues
around
that.
Yes,
oh
sorry,
what
about
the
issues
around
suicide
or
African-Americans?
Where
are
the
resources
supporting
those
who
have
mental
health
illnesses
of
identifying?
How
can
we
identify
Asheville,
African-American
native
Native
or
those
in
Asheville
and
Buncombe
County?
They
had
chronic
diseases,
they
provide
the
preventative
health
care
for.
O
P
Some
of
this
is
connecting
social
terms
of
health.
So
we
hear
that
a
lot
now
we
hear
that
80
of
one's
Total
Health
is
not
just
a
20,
but
all
of
the
other
things
that
influence
somebody's
health,
whether
it's
housing,
whether
it's
economics,
whether
it's
education
so
again,
we're
noticing
that
there
are
threats
and
health
and
wellness
related
issues
to
all
of
the
ifas,
eliminating
bias
and
implementing
accountability
of
staff
and
providers.
P
How
do
we
eliminate
and
get
provide
training
so
that
those
that
are
responsible
for
the
care
of
all
of
us
can
work
beyond
the
implicit
bias?
That
Could
That
Could,
unfortunately
lead
to
lesser
Quality
Health
care
for
African
Americans,
stop
in
the
harms
and
decreasing
barriers
of
big
one?
How
do
we
not
just
stop
the
harms
but
address
them
from
occurring
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
what
does
that
mean?
As
far.
P
P
Holding
individuals
accountable
when
we
talk
about
eliminating
interpersonal
racism
and
bias.
What
are
the
processes
that
then
go
back
to
address
the
biases
that
have
occurred
and
how
do
we
then
hold
Health,
Care
Providers
accountable?
If
they're
not
held
accountable,
then
how
do
we
make
this
better
or
how
do
you
continue
on
so
some
examples
of
that
to
receive
County
and
city
funding?
Perhaps
there's
a
mandate
that
there's
training
that
has
to
occur
a
lot
of
times
when
we
talk
about
what
can
happen,
people
listen
to
dollar
signs.
P
So
if
you
want
to
receive
money
for
certain
strategies,
then
maybe
again
it's
about
the
training
is
mandatory.
I
think
we
got
to
the
point
where
it's
okay
to
say
that
training
is
optional,
but
in
this
case
it's
not
I.
Think
everybody's
tired
of
optional
training,
it's
important
to
make
some
of
them
mandatory.
P
Plans,
fire
and
staff:
how
is
it
that
we
often
see
the
same
staff
that
have
been
involved,
providing
Health?
How
come
they're,
not
health,
and
sometimes
maybe
they
need
to
be
replaced
for
buyers,
so
we're
really
getting
into
the
nitty-gritty
of
what
this
meant,
as
we
still
have
a
lot
of
digging
to
go.
When
we
talk
about
office,
American,
healing
and
healthy
spaces,
there
used
to
be
Health,
Centers
and
African-American
hospitals.
Are
there
not
the
opportunities
for
us
to
have
healing
spaces
again
that
specifically
hone
in
on
those
issues
that
particularly
affect
African
Americans?
P
What
in
other
other
demographics,
African-American
representation
and
decision
making
we've
had
this
conversation
recently
about
the
diversity
of
groups
and
people
say:
oh
we've
got
to
include
everyone,
but
the
big
issue
is:
how
inclusive
are
you
at
the
decision-making
table?
It's
okay
to
include
all
voices,
but
the
power
structures
are
really
important.
When
you
look
at
who
gets
to
buy
in
and
make
the
decisions
collectively,
you
can
be
invited
to
a
conversation,
but
if
you
don't
have
a
voice
of
making
the
decision
were
you
able
to
affect
the
change
you
wanted
to
change
so
again.
O
P
Health
information
about
public
health
issues.
What
are
our
public?
We
saw
a
lot
of
Public
Health
initiatives
around
covet,
but
what
are
some
of
the
other
ones
that
maybe
have
kind
of
gone
under
under
the
radar,
and
when
do
we
start
really
looking
at
our
public
education
to
help
people
stay
well
and
have
that
development?
P
P
F
P
To
come
and
join
us
Saturday
at
United
Way,
and
it's
particularly
around
health
and
wellness,
because
we
wanted
to
get
public
input
as
well.
We
thought
that
was
critical,
that
we
need
food
to
be
music.
There
will
be
opportunities
to
engage
and
in
small
work
sessions
so
that
we
can
hear
again
what
might
be
out
there.
While
we
have
lots
of
sub
recommendations
in
nine
or
ten
categories,
we
might
have
missed
something,
particularly
if
there's
an
intersection,
so
we
wanted
to
make
that
over
to
the
public.
We
hope
to
see
you
there
again.
P
Excited
that
this
is
something
that
we're
partnering
with
RJC
and
the
center
for
participatory
change,
but
we're
also
excited
this
might
be
the
first
of
a
few
of
those
as
we
move
further
into
kind
of
really
going
into
weeds
as
to
what
would
stop
us
from
doing
certain
sub
initiatives,
the
other
thing
is
podcasts
we're
interested
in
interviewing
people.
You
know
some
of
the
I
think
someone
said
something
earlier
about
there
being
a
lack
of
data
beyond
the
days
that
you're
talking
about
well,
we
shouldn't
ignore
communal
voices.
P
What
about
Elders
in
the
community
that
have
circumstances
and
issues
around
what
they
suffer
or
not
getting
access
to
healthcare?
Have
we
recorded
those
voices?
Maybe
we
get
to
the
point
that
we
have?
We
just
have
listening
sessions.
Well,
we
have
a
recorder
and
we
ask
you
what,
if
you
suffer,
what
did
you
go
through
and
did
we
compiled
that
so
that
we
have
some
of
the
data?
Q
K
K
A
Was
just
informed
that
we
I
forget
about
the
virtual
world
I
just
forget
as
you're
asking
questions
or
making
comments.
Would
you
mind
identifying
yourself
give
give
your
name.
B
B
Any
additional
questions
actually
had
a
question
Christine
just
a
really
quick
question.
You
touched
on
this,
but
I
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
your
experience.
Working
with
the
data
that's
available
in
the
more
helpful
we've.
P
I
think
it's
Ginger
from
welcome
County,
it's
been
a
great
support
of
helping
us
get
some
of
those
earlier
data
requests
satisfied.
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
know
similar
to
other
groups
is
that
there's.
P
Going
to
have
to
do
some
deeper
digging
with
again
when
we
talk
about
black
owned
or
black
operated,
Health
spaces
in
you
know
the
earlier
part
of
the
decade.
There
may
not
be
as
much
information
also
is
there
a
lot
of
historical
information
or
documentation
around
Midwifery,
so
we're
really
trying
to
figure
out
the
best
place.
Some
of
it
may
not
be
the
traditional
methods
of
data,
so
we
may
need
to
do
some
additional
research,
but
we
have
access
to
Librarians.
P
P
Some
deeper
digging
in
different
types
of
databases
for
housing
of
you
know
whether
we
go
into
libraries
where
we
go
into
the
State
library
in
North
Carolina,
whether
we're
going
to
Medical
libraries.
So
we
have
some
options.
We
haven't
yet
explored.
L
L
Are
the
displacement
of
black
homes
and
neighborhoods
due
to
urban
renewal,
which
is
something
that
we
have
seen
that
has
been
going
on
since
the
60s
and
70s,
and
it's
still
probably
going
on
now
recommendations,
overview
and
all
city
and
county
on
land
that
was
taken
from
blacks
to
be
returned?
We
have
thought
about
that,
but
we
did
request
that
the
city
and
the
county
would
give
us
data
on
what
properties
were
now
owned
by
the
city.
We
do
have
that
information.
They
have
sent
that
to
us.
L
So
we
do
know
what,
if
they're
in
use
if
it's
occupied
or
if
it's
not
in
use,
so
we've
got
that
started
and
is
there
any
overlap
with
another
item
Ma?
How
can
you
address
harms
together,
Economic
Development?
If
people
don't
pay
the
living
wage
or
can't
find
suitable
employment,
they
can't
afford
to
live
in
Asheville.
L
We
all
know
that's
a
that's
a
known
fact,
because
you're
not
at
the
pay
grade
of
15
or
17,
and
maybe
even
twenty
dollars
an
hour
that
people
are
not
able
to
afford
what
the
living,
what
the
living
situation
in
Asheville,
even
in
Buncombe
County,
because
it
is
rising
even
above
that
and
criminal
justice.
If
a
person
has
been
in
the
system
they're
unable
to
even
secure
public
housing,
so
there's
a
disadvantage
to
that.
So
where
do
they?
Where
are
they
and
what
do
they
do?
L
And
so
we
looked
at
the
and
housing
encompasses
everything
of
all
the
other
IL
FAS,
because,
where
you
live
and
your
environment,
that
you're
in
can
cause
a
lot
of
things
with
your
health,
Economic,
Development
criminal
justice.
All
of
those
areas
can
be
impacted
and
how
are
you
gaining
communities
buy-ins
and
we're
still
working,
because
we
have
to
start
at
the
bottom.
We
could
not
do
a
broad
picture.
We
did
look
at
some
areas.
L
For
instance,
we
talked
about
Bartlett
arms,
which
used
to
be
for
seniors,
which
has
now
changed
too,
is
to
everyone,
and
the
harmony
is
doing
to
some
of
the
people
that
are
in
Barbara.
Arms
are
in
the
Aston
Park
Towers
map
that
they're
boxed
in
with
a
lot
of
different
other
people
that
are
either
homeless
or
disadvantaged
people.
And
so
what
can
we
do
for
those
seniors
that
are
locked
in
and
they
don't
make
enough?
Their
income
is
not
enough
for
them
to
move
out.
L
They
cannot
go
into
assisted
living,
so
they're
kind
of
like
their
stuff.
So
what
can
we
do
to
make
sure
that
impacts
are
healed
and
wellness?
So
with
those
are
some
of
the
ideas
that
we
do
it
like
I
said
we
will
meet
tomorrow
night
and
but
it
is
a
slow
process
and
we
realize
that
we
could
ask
for
a
lot
of
things,
but
we
have
to
start
from
the
basis
of
the
root
of
what
the
problem
was
in
the
first
place,
and
then
we
moved
from
that.
You
have
any
questions.
A
Have
you
all
addressed?
Have
you
ever
started
talking
about
gentrification
effects.
R
L
L
So
you
can't
get
around
to
the
fact
that
any
neighborhood
that
you
go
into
you're
not
just
going
to
see
all
of
us,
and
so
we
have
to
address
that
because
we
have
been
moved
out.
We
realize
that
everything
that
we've
had
we've
lost
we've
been
moved
out,
we're
in
the
outlines
some
of
the
people
that
we
see
in
generations
of
being
in
public
housing.
They
can't
move,
they
can't
do
anything
else
and
it
stays
the
same.
S
S
L
But
I
think
there's
a
qualified
I,
don't
know
for
sure
that
there's
a
qualification
and
after
the
applications
that
you
fill
out-
and
you
have
to
realize
that
some
of
our
seniors,
that
probably
will
not
qualify
for
being
in
that
area
because
of
what
they
make
and
they
not
remembering
when
you
start
looking
at
applications
for
assistance
and
the
cyclists
that
go
out
without
within
the
churches
that
may
not
get
out
to
all
of
us.
So
maybe
that
is
something
we
need
to
look
at.
S
R
L
Yes,
we
have,
and
it's
very
sad
and
when
we
think
about
it,
we
talk
about
it,
but
we
are
looking
into
that
and
but
the
thing
of
the
thing
that
we
look
at
is,
we
know
the
harm,
we
know
what
has
happened,
but
what
can
we
do
to
move
forward
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
trying
to
learn?
We
know
that's,
not
the
money
that
can
be
given.
How
do
we
replace
that
home?
What
do
we
do
and
how
do
we
regain
it?
L
That
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
wanted
to
go
back
and
ask
the
city
and
county
about
how
many
properties
did
they
hold,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
asked
for.
F
R
R
To
for
the
correction
of
the
minutes,
I
am
also
a
member
of
the
housing
IFA
work
group
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
our
recommendations,
of
course
are
collective
and
it
represents
our
individual
experiences
and
backgrounds,
and
so
from
a
democratic
standpoint.
Several
the
harms
that
we
addressed
was
disproportionate
arrest
of
black
individuals
in
Buncombe,
County
and
discriminatory
policing
practices,
and
that's
just
a
general
statement.
I
would
just
say
for
me,
everything
goes
back
to
economic
disparity,
systemic
racism
and
exclusion
from
the
social,
cultural
and
economic,
real
use
of
society.
R
Also,
we
talked
about
the
recommendations.
Here
are
two
here
that
are
pretty
generic
and
pretty
general
fund
record
expungement
of
clinics,
which
is
you
know,
pretty
short-term
and
pretty
durable.
I
would
say:
there's
been
some
of
that
to
go
on
and
we
work
with
several
attorneys
who
provide
their
services
to
do
so
and
also
I
believe
Eric,
Jackson's
wife,
who
is
now
with
the
Buncombe
County
district
attorney.
We
worked
with
her
on
expungement
issues
in
the
past
when
she
had
a
non-profit
up
on
Wall
Street,
also
to
provide
funding
to
re-entry
Services.
R
As
you
know,
they're
already
funded
and
they're
in
quite
a
few
counties
in
in
North
Carolina,
one
of
the
things
since
I'm,
a
kind
of
a
data
person
is
I,
would
like
to
see
the
performance-based
outcomes
of
some
of
the
data
as
per
the
re-entry
program
here
in
Buncombe
County
and
along
a
racial
composition
or
ethnic
composition
lines.
R
Let
me
just
also
say
that
some
of
the
issues
that
we
discussed
were
black
youth
and
adults
who
are
overrepresented
in
jails
and
prison
populations
in
12
states
in
the
United
States
blacks
represent
over
50
percent
of
prison
populations.
That's
very
significant.
North
Carolina
is
one
of
those
jail
diversion
underutilized
by
black
men
and
youth
and
over
policing
in
low-income
areas.
R
As
you
all
know,
specifically
locally
here
in
Asheville,
there's
been
much
input
by
people
who
live
in
red
housing
or
a
public
used
to
be
publicly
assisted
housing
who
was
saying
that
they
wanted
APD
providing
security.
A
lot
of
housing
authorities
have
hired
private
security
and
called
police
regular
police
for
backup.
As
you
know,
with
more
contact
that
law
enforcement
officers
have
for
black
people,
there
tends
to
be
very
negative
and
deadly
outcomes
oftentimes
for
everything
from
traffic
stops
to
General
Security.
So
we
I
think
that
probably
needs
to
be
looked
at.
I.
R
Think
people
are,
of
course,
applying
illegal
trade
simply
because
of
economic
isolation
and
family
disintegration,
but
that's
another
specific
issue.
Our
support
of
the
data
comes
from
a
plethora
of
sources,
safety
and
this
challenge
Algonquin
County,
of
course,
from
the
MacArthur
Foundation,
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Instruction,
and
we
talked
about
the
school
of
prison
pipeline
very
real
in
National
City
schools
in
Buncombe
County.
R
As
a
matter
of
fact,
in
2020
we
were
summoned
at
Asheville
middle
school
and
there
were
24
black
youths
who
were
not
only
expelled
but
also
criminal
charges
brought
against
and
thanks
to
City
officials,
including
Deborah
Campbell,
our
manager
and
the
chief
of
police.
Those
charges
were
dropped
and
some
positive
things
came
out
of
that.
Also,
our
data
comes
from
the
Brooklyn
institution.
Six
policies
to
address
problems
affecting
black
boys
and
men,
and
also
some
from
the
North
Carolina
Task
Force
for
racial
equity
and
criminal
justice.
R
The
report
for
the
2020,
which
was
provided
to
us
last
week
at
our
meeting
and
also
our
old
trusty
traffic,
stop
data
the
way
that
we
got.
We
worked
very
well
with
national
city
council
to
get
consent
to
search
passed
by
them.
I
was
an
educational
process
that
can
be
replicated
and
also
utilizing
data
to
ban
the
Box
by
Buncombe,
County
city
of
Asheville
and
Mission
Health
Systems.
Our
shared
terms
is
in
short-term
recommendations,
use
of
Jerry
review
team,
which
is
in
process
right
now.
That's
something
we
all
probably
need
to
drill
down
on.
R
To
see
how
you
know
we
can
help
reducing
the
school
to
prison
pipeline.
We
need
to
look
at
the
role
of
sros
and
the
data
that
goes
with
that
educate
Educators.
Regarding
this
I'm
on
culturally
competent
and
teachers
and
those
who,
hopefully
love
black
children,
have
private
security
and
rad,
and
that
is
in
process.
I
need
to
report.
I
saw
what
the
actual
Housing
Authority
was:
hiring
Private
Security
offices
and
multiples
of
them.
R
So
that's
pretty
good
news
and
I
I've
been
in
contact
with
Chief
Jack
Zach
on
a
very
tangential
level,
our
midterm
recommendations,
Supportive
Services
education,
economic
assistance
to
pay
fines
and
low
battery
low
barrier
shelters
where
there's
a
requirement
not
to
be
so-called
sober.
If
that's
such
a
thing,
Supportive,
Services
and
education,
especially
that
we
look
at
the
data
in
terms
of
the
inmates
that
are
there
and
a
lot
of
them
have
come
out
of
school
prematurely
and
some
other
things
review.
Hds
policies,
actual
City
Schools.
R
They
have
policies
that
they
Institute
when
I
went
there
in
1971
prior
to
immigration,
I
only
spent
one
year
there
and
those
policies
were
put
in
place
where,
once
those
students
have
been
expelled
and
we
look
back
and
those
policies
were
instituted
then-
and
they
remain
now.
Those
really
do
need
to
be
looked
at
in
terms
of
expelling
students,
educate
lawmakers
of
the
unintended
consequences
for
legislation
that
creates
a
new
crime
modifies
or
even
alter
some
of
the
penalties
for
it.
R
Sometimes
you
can
have
unintended
consequences,
long-term
living
wage
job
training
and
placing
I
supplied,
Kim
Howard
came
here
as
y'all
know,
and
we
Supply
the
program
to
him
that
I
work
in
the
Institute
right
here
in
Asheville
with
NC
deal
and
some
folks
out
of
Charlotte
and
it's
for
living
wage
employment.
It
pertains
to
I-26.
R
It
is
a
a
Time
trusted
program,
culturally,
confident
employers
who
can
offer
portals
of
advancement
for
trainees
financial
literacy
to
create
generational
wealth,
generational
wealth
by
home
and
business
ownership,
training
that
intersects,
as
you
all
know,
with
housing
and
the
governance,
Economic
Development
fatherhood
training
with
repatriation
of
black
men
back
into
the
community.
That
is
a
missing
element
from
our
communities.
R
Our
black
men
and
most
of
them
are
incarcerated
or
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
system,
who's
getting
removed
or
had
some
interaction,
remove
and
adjust
rules
for
diversion
programs,
altruism,
I
call
that
just
mean
you
know
wishing
or
whatever
support
real
reparations
on
a
national
level
and
then
again
to
qualified
immunity.
I
know
we
haven't
talked
about
it
in
some
of
the
meetings,
but
it
gives
police
officers
but
immunity
for
whatever
happens
during
the
traffic
stop
or
incursion
such
that
it
really
supersedes
constitutional
rights
of
individuals.
R
And
discussion
excuse
me:
Mike,
lamb
has
been
there.
Okay,
yes
and
I've
worked
with
Mike.
Now
for
three
or
four
years.
We
work
with
him
to
get
great
consent
to
search
really
many
other
leadership
team
with
the
Asheville
Police
Department
and
the
Public
Safety
Committee
and
City
Council
Members
individuals
that
they
have
been
receptive
where
before
when
we
encountered
them,
they
had
no
data,
and
now
they
are
in
Scots
in
data
collection.
R
So
some
of
these
local
efforts
do
change
things
and
keep
in
mind
that
data
is
something
that
is
not
personal
and
it
cannot
be
argued
with,
and
it
is
my
North
Stars
and
getting
me
anything
about
in
this
town.
Yes,
ma'am.
F
K
I,
don't
know
if
this
can
be
done,
or
has
it
been
done,
what
is
percentage?
What
is
the
percentage
of
black
males
that
are
in
jail
now
and
then
what
is
the
percentage
of
black
males
or
females
that
has
that
their
records
has
been
sponge.
K
R
Something
that
we're
working
on
with
Miss
Tiffany
from
Buncombe
County
Justice
Center.
We've
asked
for
that
information
by
a
racial
category,
some
of
us
sort
of
been
provided,
but
we
have
not
drilled
down
in
those
details.
We
do
know.
Let
me
just
say
this:
some
of
the
reporting
that
was
given
us
was
doing
the
Kobe
after
they're
doing
a
jail
population
I
had
eight
blocks
in
it
and
like
a
few
wives,
so
we
want
to
kind
of
get
into
more
now,
what's
real
and
going
back
into
an
unusual
period.
R
So
that
is
a
process
that
we
are
working
together
towards
is
drilling
down
and
getting
Trend
analysis.
If
you
will
historical
data
is
very
good
but,
more
importantly,
there
is
Trend
analysis.
F
R
We
need
a
series
of
years
we're
not
just
interested
in
last
year,
but
if
we
can
get
at
least
three
years,
we
could
probably
get
more
composite
picture
of
it,
so
that.
K
R
K
R
Very
hot
we
discussed
that
and
they
kind
of
a
study
out
in
the
bureau.
Institute
just
did
Paul
Bunyan
County
Jail
about
the
social
excuse
me,
the
criminal
women
who
are
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
system
in
London
County,
and
it
is
probably
at
least
doubled,
that
of
of
why?
Why
two
minutes-
and
you
know
that
we-
what.
A
C
G
F
T
E
I,
don't
know
that
this
is
a
question,
but
I
am
curious.
You
mentioned
suspensions
and
expulsions
and
I'm
very
much
aware
that
they're,
high
I
did
not
hear
you
mention
any
programs,
possibly
that
could
help
those
so
may
I
just
recommend
an
old
program
that
worked
quite
well
for
many
years
in
Asheville,
City
schools,
and
that
was
mediation
programs,
peer-to-peer
young
people
learning
to
solve
their
problems.
K
Do
we,
this
is
for
Education.
Also
the
I
know
years
ago,
I
used
to
do
like
the
one-on-one.
Do
we
still
have?
What
is
it?
Oh
Lord,
you
know
like
brother
sister.
C
K
Yes,
do
we
still
have
that,
is
it
still
in
effect
and
how
effective
it
is
for
the
you
know,
because
when
you've
got
kids
in
school
and
you
know
I,
don't
know
it's
hard
for
kids.
Remember
right
now,
because
right
now,
peer
pressure
is
just
so
bad.
It
really
is
and
but
is,
is
the
Big
Brother
business
was
still
going
or
is
it
in
certain
schools
or
do
you
know
if
it's
inside
schools
or
I.
E
K
There
any
way
that
could
possibly
collaborate
somehow
yeah.
G
I
think
so,
I
think
when
we
get
to
our
our
community
educational.
You
know
we
haven't,
haven't
put
together
a
proposal
yet
for
our
community
centers
and
we
want
to
have
some
kind
of
community
centers
that
are
going
to
provide
supplemental
and
support
and
education
for
our
kids,
so
Community
Based
and
led
by
black
folks
as
teachers
and
counselors,
and
things
like
that
and
in
a
situation
like
that,
we
can
certainly
collaborate
with
any
other
social
group
to
provide
services
and
supports
for
our
kids.
K
I'm
into
questions
tonight,
I'm.
Sorry,
so
is
the
Wesley
Grant
Arthur
editing
Center?
Are
they
used
for
programs
after
school
when
kids
get
out
of
school,
not
just
small
kids
I'm
talking
about
middle
school
high
school?
All
those
use
is
those
centers
used
for
kids
to
come.
Hang
out
get
homework
done,
have
a
one-on-one
time
with
somebody
just
in
case
they
need
somebody
to
talk
to.
Does
anybody
know
that
I'm
just
asking
is.
G
There
I
think
there
are
programs
like
that
across
the
city
in
the
county,
but
we
want
to
kind
of
coordinate
all
of
those
so
that
everybody's
kind
of
on
the
same
page
and
providing
you
know
the
full
spectrum
of
supports
that
our
kids
need
to
be
successful.
So
that's
coming
that
we're
working
on
that
one.
K
K
R
I
hear
a
lot
of
people
referring
back
to
existing
programs
and
so
forth.
I
guess
my
question
deals
with.
If
you
don't
see
data
on
what
they're
doing
and
they
don't
have
performance
metrics,
how
do
you
know
that
even
that
they're
going
to
perform
any
differently
now
I
mean
that's
a
logical
thing
to
say:
okay,
we'll
go
with
what
we
have
and
maybe
use
an
existing
program,
but
if
they
aren't
doing
that
well
now,
what
makes
you
think
they're
going
to
improve
without
data
I
always
want
to
see
what
you've
done.
R
It
needs
to
be
measurable,
it
needs
to
have
metrics
and
they
need
to
be
tangible.
It's
not
personal!
It
has
nothing.
You
see
a
lot
of
this
that
we're
involved
in
for
me.
I
have
noticed
that
people
want
to
perpetuate
a
paycheck
and
program
and
that
that
hurts
people
who
are
the
most
vulnerable
people.
You
have
to
be
really
on
point
about
number
one.
L
I
work
with
the
after
school
program
and
a
summer
program
in
the
county
and
data
is
important,
but
the
root
of
the
problem
is
the
families
and
the
homes
it's
hard
to
get
middle
school
and
high
school
kids
to
to
come
after
school,
to
gather
for
you
to
work
with
them
because
they
want
to
be
with
their
friends
and
their
social
groups,
and
they
don't
want
to
be
there.
What
we're
losing
is
I
can
tell
you
the
data
of
what
we
do.
L
I
can
show
you
that
I
can
show
you
the
impact
of
those
kids,
but
I
think
that
we
Educators,
we
didn't
need
to
sit
down
and
it's
got
to
start
at
the
root
of
what
the
problem
is
and
if
we
need
to
come
together
to
find
out
how
we
can
make
a
difference.
That's
where
it
starts
from
it's,
not
just
where
your
data
is
I'm.
L
Talking
about
people
I'm
talking
about
the
people
that
I
see
and
the
problems
that
they
have
and
it's
and
when
you
talk
about
what
we
can
do
in
the
school
system,
you
got
to
think
about
what
you
got
to
do
in
the
home
too,
because
these
kids
are
kids,
and
so
we
see
some
things
that
you
would
not.
You
would
not
believe
if
you're,
not
there,
you
don't
hear
them
talk.
Kids
will
tell
you
everything
that
goes
on
with
them.
L
If
you
open
up
the
door
to,
let
them
talk
to
you
without
judging
them,
so
you
can
get
data
from
across
all
the
way
across
the
river,
but
if
you're
not
in
there
with
them
talking
to
them,
seeing
what
impact
on
that
is.
That's
where
you
have
to
start
your
basis
from,
and
it's
not
just
the
city,
but
it's
the
county
too,
because
I've
seen
it
in
all
aspects.
L
You
got
to
catch
them
before
they
go
to
middle
school
and
high
school,
because
by
that
time
they
don't
want
to
hear
what
you're
you
have
to
say
when
they
get
into
that
space.
So
we
got
to
catch
them
now,
but
we
have
to
catch
the
parents
at
the
same
time,
because
they're
struggling
too
health
and
wellness
all
of
those
things,
that's
what
I
need
to
do.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
F
D
Criminal
justice
side,
Joyce
Harrison,
when
you
get
your
data,
would
you
cousins
also
take
out
the
parts
of
people
that
are
not
residents
of
North
Carolina
that
incarcerated,
because
they're
in
North
Carolina?
So.
R
D
R
Okay,
that
is
a
question.
We've
also
opposed
to
the
re-entry
Council,
specifically
about
the
numbers
of
transients
that
they've
brought
that
have
been
released
on
probation
and
parole,
who
come
here
for
these
programs,
so
that
is
another
data
point
that
we
are
highly
interested
in,
because
we
noted
just
in
our
meetings
in
that
reentry
Council,
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
receiving
services
in
Buncombe
County
who
come
from
on
the
camp
right:
okay,
yeah,
okay,
so
yes
thank.
F
F
A
U
It,
okay,
so
hi
everyone.
So
you
will
see
this
group
amazing
group
of
humans
at
these
meetings.
U
They're
part
of
the
reparation
documentation
team
they
will
be
coming
in
here,
they'll,
be
wanting
to
interview
you
they're,
going
to
be
doing
some
podcasting
videos
storytelling
a
variety
of
different
things,
but
I'm
gonna
step
back
on
just
the
project
manager
advisor
in
this
situation:
I'm
Elizabeth,
Garland,
STM,
multimedia
arturia,
Collective,.
O
Hi
everyone,
my
name
is
Eden
Mosley
I
used
to
attend
Astro,
City,
Schools
I.
Remember
you.
O
P
F
R
U
F
V
Chairman
just
before
you
just
before
you
go
today,
yeah,
what
is
the
common
thread
between
all
of
these
they've
got
to
be
a
Common
Thread
somewhere?
Is
it
economics
it's
education,
housing
or
whatever
and
who's
following
it,
who's
going
to
bring
all
that
together?
That's
that's
one
of
the
concerns
I
have
if.
A
On
that,
because
I
wanted
to
I
was
asking
the
basically
the
same
questions.
What
are
the
commonalities
that
are
being
presented
through
the
ifas
and
one
of
the
commonalities
was
the
need
for
data
all
all
the
groups
are
talking
about
the
needs
for
data
for
it,
and
so
the
construction
of
our
audit
becomes
even
more
crucial.
A
The
second
thing
that
I
picked
up
on
was
that
all
of
you
all
seem
to
be
dependent
on
narrative
you're
needing
narrative,
whether
it's
suffering
or
the
experiences,
but
you
want
to
hear
the
stories
and
I
think
that
was
a
common
common
factor,
one
that
I'm
adding
to
you
now
is
that
I'm
also
asking
as
a
commonality
to
begin
with
construction
of
your
formal
proposals
that
you'll
put
before
the
commission
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
read
those
and
and
commission
consider
those
as
we
think
about
which
ones
we
are
going
to
prioritize
in
this
into
the
Bunkie
County
Commissioners
and
National
City
Council,
race
relations,
training,
yes,
and
clearly
in
all
the
areas
again,
but
it
was
law
enforcement,
the
classroom,
Health,
Care,
some
form
of
race
relations,
training,
some
form
of
of
cultural
communities.
A
A
That
I
was
being
asked
for
before
retiring
for
the
usca,
but
I
never
did
that
and
I
haven't
seen
them
are
the
actual
courtroom
results.
What
are
the
five
by
race
and
by
gender,
the
decisions
and
sentences
of
what
the
kind
of
Supreme
Court.
T
As
early
as
12
years,
older
and
sometimes
earlier,
I
demand
that
we
get
a
commission,
we
put
something
in
place
so
that
we
know
our
children
are
falling
behind.
Why
are
we
allowing
them
to
get
suspended
from
school?
Where
there's
no
education?
There's
no
constructive
learning,
there's
nothing
going
on.
We
need
if
they
have
to
be
suspended,
we
need
to
have
them
be
able
to
go
somewhere
somewhere
constructive
with
the
right
people
in
front
of
them
so
that
they
can
understand.
They
have
a
better
path.
T
H
As
a
follow-up
like
for
time
constraints,
we
weren't
able
to
go
through
our
full
proposal
for
our
stopping
the
harm
of
Mr
McAfee,
but
that
does
address
a
portion
of
of
a
harm
in
their
balance
of
the
contingencies
of
if
you
are
expelled
and
continue
your
education.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
it
up.
K
K
So
if
it's
not
starting
at
the
home,
this
is
where
the
it
gets
worse.
The
system
is
getting
we're
about
the
system.
The
kids
are
getting
worse
because
they're
not
learning
at
home,
I
don't
have
any
kids,
but
I
do
have
friends
and
kids
and
I
see
how
these
kids
are.
Sometimes
you
know,
or
just
out
and
about
out
I
mean
and
I
noticed.
No
one
want
a
kid's
home
when
they're
home
they
fine
and
everything,
but
when
they
get
out
of
the
street,
that's
it
they're,
prasada
or
whatever
changes.
K
K
R
Sorry,
Dr
D
Williams
for
public
interest,
there's
two
types
of
data,
there's
quantitative
data
and
it's
qualitative
data
which
are,
as
you
say,
Bobby
when
she
said
talking
to
parents
and
going
into
the
home
when
you
knock
on
those
doors
and
I've
done
it
in
all
the
public
housing
all
of
the
developments
in
Asheville,
and
you
look
in
those
eyes
and
you
see
absolutely
nothing
and
you
see
children
who
are
people,
families
who
are
absolutely
cut
off
the
worst
thing
in
the
world
is
being
a
human
being
and
being
cut
off
economically,
socially
and
culturally,
and
so
a
lot
of
us
have
sit
at
this
table.
R
F
W
F
W
Think
the
second
thing,
as
we
talk
about
criminal
justice,
so
yes,
we
definitely
have
to
make
sure
that
young
people
are
informed
and
educated
and
stressed
that.
But
we
also,
you
know,
perhaps
do
other
things
around-
that
we
have
to
look
at.
Those
that
are
in
the
schools
are
ready
to
make
sure
that
they're
prepared.
W
We
have
to
make
sure
that
there's
representation,
part
of
the
recommendations
that
we're
working
on
the
criminal
justice
tries
to
address
all
of
that,
including
bringing
black
people
into
Israel
and
connecting
with
the
housing
to
make
sure
that
the
house
appropriately
so
that
they're
prepared
to
teach
black
students.
You
know
about
the
things
that
they
need
to
know
in
order
to
keep
them
out
of
these
spaces,
where
there's
no
opportunities
so
I
think
if
we
could
just
look
in
our
impact
Focus
areas
and
try
to
address
that
within
that
area.
W
A
Let
me
let
me,
let
me
add
a
point
here
in
in
the
social
sciences
and
the
identification
of
these
social
determinants
that
you're
looking
at
this
is
something
that
the
social
sciences,
even
at
the
University
level
is
struggling
with.
Is
the
interrelatedness
of
the
areas
that
we
are
talking
about?
What
we're
doing
is
real
and
it
ain't
easy,
and
so
as
you've
been
struggling
with
that
note
that
this
is
something
that
has
crucial
outcomes.
A
B
Our
agenda,
we
might
need
to
take
some
of
that
time
from
that
Roundtable
check-in
at
the
end,
see
if
we
can
go
back
to
Old
business
and
speak
through
these
votes
and
then
go
to
our
speaker
is
that.
A
Okay,
yeah,
let
me
let
me
do
one
thing:
do
we
have
the
public
comments
list.
T
Please
one
more
time:
I
just
want
to.
We
talk
about
the
breakdown
black
family
home.
Well,
that's
break
down
was
designed
absolutely
by
systemic
racer.
Yes,
people
in
the
fact
that
our
families
are
broken
down
and
we
don't
seem
to
have
the
direction
that
we
need
for
our
young
people.
T
C
Mr
McAfee
just
alluded
to
when
we
start
looking
at
the
family.
Unity
is
the
family
unit
taught
in
our
school
right
now.
Somehow
the
legacy
of
what
we've
come
through
is
not
taught,
in
fact,
if
you
look
at
what's
happening
in
Florida
with
the
Santos
he's
absolutely
outlawed,
any
teaching
that
relates
to
race
relations
or
anything
else,
and
that's
almost
What's
Happening
Here
race
relations
is
completely
outlawed
or
not
taught
in
our
school.
C
A
All
right,
As
you
move
on
through
this
agenda.
We
have
old
businesses.
A
We
also
have
the
speaker
for
the
racial
Justice
Coalition
this
presentation
for
us,
so
we
have
a
bit
of
business
still
covered
for
the
evening
for
the
code
of
ethics
policy,
I'm
wondering
if
there
is
an
entertainment
of
their
comments.
If
there's
a
discussion
regarding
the
code,
ethics
policy,
yeah.
M
M
M
Think
you
know
that
should
be
the
focus
like
us,
connecting
the
dots
and
and
really
you
know,
being
creative
and
imaginative
like
how
are
we
going
to
transform
our
communities
and
I'm
not
understanding
how
this,
especially
if
it's
coming
from
the
city
who
created
this
in
the
first
place
of
why
we're
here
telling
us
that
we
have
to
go
by
this
strict
line
and
do
this?
You
can't
you
do
this
and
do
that
I'm,
not
understanding
that
I
think
our
priority
and
focus
should
be
on
at
hand.
M
What
recommendations
are
we
going
to
create
amongst
ourselves?
That's
going
to
you
know,
bring
some
relief
to
our
communities,
and
that
should
be
the
number
one
focus
and
we
should
do
let
that
be
first
and
then
sit
into
the
city
in
the
county.
Then
they
can
do
all
this
whatever
they
got
to
do
to
our
recommendations
but
I'm,
just
not
I'm,
just
not
I'm,
not
I'm,
not.
H
I
was
gonna
say
that
we
met
with
the
attorneys
with
our
little
louder.
Please
I
was
going
to
say
that
we
met
with
our
attorney
during
our
IFA
for
our
last
meeting
and
some
of
the
same
sentiments
Mr
you
brought
up,
we
have
the
same,
but
it
was
explained
to
us
in
a
way
that
I
guess
it
left
us
with
some
ease.
So
I
didn't
know
Brad.
X
So,
without
going
into
too
too
much
detail
about
this,
you've
already
adopted
a
set
of
procedural
rules.
That
is
about
process
that
allows
you
to
go
about
your
meetings
in
a
way
that
is
structured
so
that
your
meetings
can
be
as
effective
as
you
want
them
to
be.
It
is
very,
very
common
for
groups
such
as
you
public
bodies
to
have
not
only
a
set
of
rules
or
procedures,
but
a
code
of
ethics,
and
we
myself.
X
Got
together
and
put
this
as
a
proposal
for
you,
it's
based
upon
the
codes
of
Ethics
that
are
generally
put
together
for
City
councils
and
County
commissions
throughout
the
state.
It
was
originally
modeled,
after
an
exhibit
from
the
North
Carolina
School
of
government,
but
while
the
rules
of
procedure
are
about
process,
these
rules
are
set
up
to
give
you
character
and
commitment
guidelines
again
very
similar
rules
of
procedure.
X
They
are
designed
to
help
you
function
so
that
you
are
on
the
same
page,
but
the
page
should
be
written
by
you
and
we
presented
these
to
you
as
a
model
as
a
starting
point.
If
there
is
anything
in
these
rules
that
you
feel
is
out
of
line
with
the
way
you
would
like
to
conduct
your
meetings,
then
we
are
here
as
a
service
to
you
to
provide
changes
and
adapt
that
to
the
kind
of
structure,
if
any
that
you
would
like
to
have.
X
But
the
hope
is
that
these
rules,
which,
which
are
generally
very
common,
are
designed
to
give
you
the
support
that
you
need,
but
they
are
not
designed.
Nor
should
we
ever
allow
these
kind
of
rules
to
be
set
up
in
a
way
that
restricts
the
creativity
and
the
purpose
that
this
group
is
set
up
to
utilize.
So
let.
T
H
Well,
essentially,
you
just
kind
of
confirm
with
us
that
any
recommendations
and
proposals
that
we
make
that
from
what
I
heard
you
were
backing
us
up,
that
you
will
do
along
with
your
team,
the
best
to
look
over
those
to
make
sure
that
we
can
try
to
get
it
past.
So
that's
essentially
what
you
this
is.
What
I
kind
of
heard.
X
Yeah
and
I,
don't
think
I
could
have
said
it
any
better.
City
staff,
County
staff,
as
well
as
the
attorneys,
are
here
for
you.
We
want
you
to
give
us
the
opportunity
to
provide
you
with
as
much
Service
as
we
possibly
can
throughout
the
code
of
ethics
or
through
your
recommendation
process.
I've
seen
these
types
of
things
be
very
effective.
F
X
A
Is
there
enough
confidence
to
move
forward
or
should
or
is
this
proposal
that
needs
to
be
tabled
for
further
consideration
who's?
Your
sense.
D
I
think
this
came
up
when
we
were
talking
about
some
incidents
that
had
occurred.
I
am
very
comfortable
with
what
this
is
based
on.
What
we
experienced
from
before,
which
I
don't
again
I,
want
to
feel
comfortable
when
I
come
to
a
room
and
every
board
that
I
have
ever
set
on.
In
my
entire
business
life,
we
have
always
had
a
code
of
ethics.
This
fits
right
in
with
every
code
of
ethics
that
I've
ever
set
on
on
every
board,
I've
set
on
both
state
and
local.
A
V
A
Passes
for
the
review
project
timeline.
M
But
what
about
this
John?
Hey
the
changes
and
recommendations.
B
The
main
difference
that
you'll
see
is
that
our
recommendations,
we're
suggesting,
or
rather
I'm,
suggesting
through
my
recommendations
in
terms
of
project
management,
making
sure
that
we
present
recommendations
to
the
full
commission
at
intervals
throughout
the
year
with
the
final
slate
of
recommendations
happening
around
September,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
built
in
time
for
Community
engagement,
Gathering
Community
buy-in
gaining
support
for
project
implementation
also,
but
we
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
using
that
full
container
of
your
your
two-year
term
on
the
commission,
so
that
we
can
get
that
written
report
just
written
and
submitted
and
project
closeout
in
April
2024
again.
B
B
M
The
number
two
it
says,
there's
number
two
I
I,
just
like
these
two
together,
they
both
you
both
presented
these.
At
the
same
time
and
to
me
it
was
like
it
was
like
trying
to
control
and
and
not
allow
us
to
be
as
creative
as
we
need
to
be
to
address
how
serious
the
need
is
for
our
communities
with
a
process.
M
You
don't
have
it
okay.
Well,
I
was
just
these
changes
and
considerations.
I
was
like
I
I,
just
feel.
It's
I
just
feel
that
you
that
the
22
or
how
many
members
of
people
here
are
doing
a
tremendous
sacrifice
to
come
here
to
try
to
make
try
to
make
it
real,
and
a
lot
of
us
have
already.
Networks
have
been
out
here,
trying
to
work
way
before
the
city
and
the
county
even
gave
us
the
the
time
of
day
or
attention
to
to
to
to
to
do
this
work.
M
So
we
come
here
now
sacrifice
in
our
time
and
then
I
keep
seeing
conflict
or
interest
conflict
of
interest.
A
lot
of
us
are
natives
here,
so
we,
the
22
members,
we
already
been
hustling
before
this
happened,
and
we
come
to
this
process,
and
you
said
we
can't
benefit
from
it.
We
can't
do
this.
We
can't
move
it.
We
can't
show
we
can't
give
favor
to
our
projects
that
we've
been
scratching
and
scratching
and
scratching
to
keep
moving.
M
M
In
order
for
that
to
happen,
all
of
us
got
to
learn
how
to
hustle
together
right
now,
real
soon,
because
in
my
neighborhood
they
still
building
we're
here
talking
and
talking
about
stuff
other
people
building,
and
if
we
keep,
you
know,
shucking
the
job
in
here
and
not
really
coming
together,
like
we
should
and
being
that
model
that
we're
going
to
show
out
to
the
rest
of
the
community
about
how
this
could
look
and
work.
We
we
create
a
pretending.
M
No
we're
creating
more
we're
creating
more
and
that's
what
I'm
against
where's
the
imaginative
where's
the
imagination
in
this
process.
L
B
Apologize
I
should
have
attached
all
of
the
documents
that
were
presented
in
January
as
well.
So
what
you're
seeing
here
is
just
the
timeline.
It's.
B
So
in
your
January
meeting
packet,
there
was
also
just
a
short
presentation
about
the
process
and
just
making
sure
that
we
were
all
agreeing
and
coming
to
consensus
on
the
recommendations.
Processes
run
in
terms
of
writing
the
recommendations
and
creating
those
proposals,
and
so
that's
what
he's
referring
to
I
can
send
it
back
out.
It
is
available
digitally,
but
I
did
not
print
them
out
in
today's
pack.
Okay,
but.
D
B
W
A

F
F
Y
Engagement
director
for
the
racial
Justice
Coalition
of
Asheville,
we
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
us
to
speak
this
evening,
and
we
also
want
to
take
it.
Take
a
second
to
thank
you
all
for
the
time
and
effort
you
put
into
this
process.
We
are
extremely
grateful
and
I'll.
Let
my
colleagues
introduce
themselves
hello.
Y'all
I
am
Mike.
Holmes
I
am
the
campus
and
director
at
racial.
J
Y
So
this
is
a
mentimeter,
so
if
you
want
to
provide
any
feedback,
it's
Anonymous
as
soon
as
you
post
it.
Other
people
that
have
posted
can
also
see
what
you've
said.
But
this
is
just
in
case.
You
want
to
provide
any
feedback
comments,
ideas
as
we're
presenting
you
can
go
to
www.mente.com
and
enter

Y
5468-9920
I'm,
also
going
to
take
advantage
of
the
fact
that
you
guys
have
those
cards.
So
if
you
want
to
write
down
anything
on
the
cards,
any
questions
or
comments,
we
can
also
collect
those
from
you
at
the
end
of
this
as
well
and
I'll.
Just
give
you
a
second
just
in
case
the
QR
code
will
take
you
directly
there,
so
you
don't
have
to
enter
any

Centered
around
reimagining
Public
Safety,
they
have
sort
of
reported
5797
people.
8500
people
interviewed
identified
as
black,
which
is
1.4
of
the
total
amount
interviewed
RJC
felt
it
was
crucial
to
hear
perspectives
and
thoughts
of
the
black
community
when
it
comes
to
fully
reimagining
Public
Safety.
So
our
knowledge
at
this
time,
the
city
is
still
working
through
the
analysis
of
the
responses
and
Community
engagement.
J
We're
going
to
share
some
of
the
key
findings
from
the
wall
of
wall
campaign
and
on
the
next
few
slides,
but
the
full
report
can
be
found
at
our
website,
which
is
everyblackvoice.org.
We
also
want
to
thank
all
the
community
members
that
participated
in
the
survey
as
Unity.
None
of
this
data
would
exist
without
them
and
we
want
to
express
deep
gratitude
to
Dr

Among
the
20
themes
that

25.6

in
the
community
and
that
they

needles

up
in
their
communities.
Some
themes
that
were
less
common
included
a
concern
for
people
outside
the
neighborhood
safety
and
police.
One
person
each
stated
concerns
around
poverty,
religion,

and
resources
available

aren't
being

J
Slide
here
has
some
direct
quotes
from
community
members
that
were
interviewed.
These
quotes
are
specific
to
community
concerns.
I'll
read
a
couple:
they
are
infested
with
bed
bugs
I
had
Terminix
out
here
yesterday
for
the
sixth
time
and
I've
been
here
for
two
years,
my
son
had
them
all
over
his
face:
I
put
them
in
a
bag,
I'm
taking
them
to
the
CEO
I've
had
enough
I've
had
enough,
and
it's
just
one
room
of
mine
they're
coming
out
of
the
walls.
Another
quote
was
I
want
to
see
this
place.
Cleaned
up.
Y
Now
we'll
take
some
time
to
talk
about
one
of
our
current
and
largest
initiatives
that
every
black
boys
thinking
the
every
black
boys
campaign
has
a
similar
Foundation
as
the
walk
the
wall
campaign,
but
it
has
grown
into
something
much
larger.
We
are
currently
focusing
on
community
engagement
through
events
and
interviews
that
are
centered
around
reparations.
The
every
black
boys
campaign
is
a
community
partnered
effort
to
create
an
advanced
Equitable
Solutions
regarding
structural
racism
and
inequities.
Y
The
rgc
fundamental
fundamental,
fundamentally
and
passionately
believes
that
deep
Community
engagement
begins
with
cultivating
authentic
relations
relationships
and
inspiring
black
joy,
in
addition
to
canvassing
Endeavors
ebb,
also
leverages
podcast
forms
and
radio,
as
well
as
social
events
as
a
way
to
recognize
and
Elevate
differing
black
narratives
of
those
within
Buncombe
County.
The
basis
of
this
campaign
is
built
on
the
shared
belief
that
we
all
have
that
the
reparations
process
should
be
centered
should
Center
the
voices
of
black
community
members,
and
we
want
to
assist
in
doing
that.
X
J
We
have
highlighted
in
blue
the
faces
that
we
are
in
currently
185
community
members
have
been
interviewed
so
far
with
around
140
of
those
interviews
being
fully
transcribed.
We
are
in
the
process
of
finalizing
the
code
book
that
will
be
used
to
code.
The
interviews
and
the
coding
is
basically,
you
know,
deciphering
the
themes
from
the
interviews,
things
that
we're
hearing
again
and
again
familiar
ones
and
creating
a
way
to
turn
that
qualitative
information
into
quantitative.

Center
and
one
at
the
Hillcrest
Community
Center,
we
did
have
reparations
Commissioners
as
panelists
at
both
of
those
events.
We
have
our
collaborative
event
with
the
health
and
wellness
IFA.
This
Saturday
I
did
have
a
quick
question.
I
know
that
I,
don't
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
a
quorum
because
I
know
that
that's
not
something
we
can
have
outside
of
this
from
what
I
know.
So,
if
you.
O
Y
Register
just
make
sure
that
you
put
somewhere
in
the
open
notes
that
you
are
a
commissioner,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
try
and
avoid
that.
But
that
is
the
Saturday
at
the
United
Way
building
and
the
conference
conference
room.
And
then
we
also
have
one
in
April,
April
15th
of
the
Shiloh
Community
Center,
and
we're
hoping
that
the
focus
area
is
going
to
be
housing.
J
And,
as
you
all
saw
earlier,
this
is
a
fire
for
our
event.
This
Saturday
is
in
collaboration
with
reparations,
commission,
health
and
wellness
impact,
Focus
area
and
the
center
for
participatory
change.
It
will
be
held
at
the
United
Way
building
conference,
room
from
12
to
3,
P.M,
food
and
child
care
will
be
provided,
and
we
will
also
have
some
physical
copies
in
the
room.
If
you
like
one.
Y
Now
ways
we
can
collaborate,
so
we
have
identified
a
few
ways
that
we
could
potentially
collaborate
as
we
just
mentioned.
We
are
already
doing
an
event
with
the
health
and
wellness
IFA
and
there's
definitely
opportunity
for
more
collaboration
like
this.
We
would
also
love
to
know
if
there's
anything
specific,
you
would
like
us
to
be
asking
in
the
community
that
would
be
helpful
in
influencing
and
informing
your
IFA
and
general
recommendations.
We're
also
open
to
any
ideas
that
you
guys
have
as
well.
J
Thank
you
again
for
your
inviting
us
to
speak
and
for
your
time
and
consideration.
Y
R
P
R
F
R
Or
African-American
thank
you
and
also
another
one
deals
with
age
and
income
in
those
developments
we
collected
some
economic
demographic
data
from
the
Housing
Authority,
singularly
on
every
development.
They
had
economic
data
race,
sex
head
of
household.
All
that
those
kinds
of
things
are
are
really
helpful
to
the
data
collection
process.
So
I
was
just
wondering
about
that.
Thank
you.
Oh.

Answer
your
question
on
the
Geo:
how
the
how
is
geo-located,
the
main
campusing
program
that
we
use
does
utilize
votive
records
to
be
able
to
figure
out
when
we're
campusing,
you
know
who
is
you
know
who
is
black
I
will
say
a
lot
of
times
when
we're
going
door-to-door,
sometimes
and
some
of
our
communities,
black
people
aren't
living
in
those
neighborhood.
Those
addresses.
A
C
Z
With
utilizing
social
media
to
reach
out
to
people
that
be
a
part
of
the
interview
or
at
our
events,
we
have
sign
up
sheets
where
we
get
people
who
are
interested
in
being
interviewed
as
well.
Q
Y
Y
The
group-
absolutely
yes,
please
and
please
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
us.
If
you
have
any
questions
or
if
there
is
anything
any
ideas
you
have
about
ways,
we
can
collaborate,
we're
very
eager.

Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
Eden
Mosley
I,
introduce
myself
previously
before,
but
not
like
up
here.
I
take
care
in
Day
School
I.
Am
a
junior
I'm
glad
to
be
here
as
a
youth,
so
like
see
and
like
hear
how
these
are
going
to
be
distributed
amongst
the
black
community.
O
As
someone
at
the
Eastern
Asheville
City,
Schools
I
will
mainly
ask
for
middle
school
and,
like
being
you
know,
a
victim
of
one
of
those
24
black
kids
as
well
suspended,
and
during
that
time,
I
would
like
to
see
how
racial
trauma
is
going
to
be
addressed
amongst
black
youth,
because
it
is
very
serious,
and
that
is
also
something
I
struggle
with
a
lot
I
develop
anxiety
because
of
schooling
because
of
my
research,
Trauma
from
Ashley
schools,
and
that's
like
the
main
reason
why
I
moved
so
definitely
feel
like
health
and
wellness.
O
That's
really
all
I
had
to
say,
but
I'm
happy
to
be
here
again.

is
