E
D
And
we
will
now
call
our
meeting
to
order.
The
committee
consists
of
nine
members
all
appointed
by
a
city
council,
with
representation
from
specific
community
sectors.

four
seven
for
those

I
believe
that

a
moot
point.
I
don't
think
we
have

you
do
need

hit
star

you
out
there
with
us
today.
Welcome
all
right.

I
will
now
go
through

introduce
all
the
committee
members
and
staff
who
are
participating
virtually
and
for
our
committee
members.
Please
make
sure
to
mute
your
microphone

you
are
not
speaking

would
like
to
speak,
click
raise
hand

I'll
call
on
you

so,

I
run

please
say
a
quick
hello

a

All
that
motion
carries
and
then
I'll
go
ahead
and
review
today's
agenda
really
quickly
for
those
listening
in,
and
so
let
me
pull
that
up
here.
D
So
we'll
run
through
staff
activities
and
updates
after
addressing
public
comment,
we'll
also
run
through
some
unfinished
business,
where
we're
just
sort
of
buttoning
up
a
review
of
the
volunteer
of
the
year
recommendations
that
were
made
at
our
last
meeting
and
then
new
business.
D
Today,
we've
got
lucy
crown
with
the
city
who's
going
to
present
on
the
close,
the
gap
project
and
then
also
brenda
and
dalla
will
step
in
for
jeremy,
since
he's
not
able
to
make
it
today
to
present
a
general
overview
of
the
neighborhood
grants,
program
and
timeline,
and
then
talk
about
city,
council
meetings
and
neighborhoods.
D
D
A
I'm
going
to
allow
dowell
to
go
ahead
and
do
a
little
update
on
where
we
are
with
the
transition
from
my
role
out
of
neighborhood
services
in
jeremy,
stepping
up
as
well
as
looking
at
some
stuff
coming
ahead.
K
Fantastic,
thank
you
brenda.
Sorry,
I'm
listening
to
the
meeting
on
the
phone
and
here
in
the
meeting,
I'm
not
used
to
that
role.
So
the
transition
we
we
are
as
an
organization
so
excited
that
brenda
has
taken
on
this
incredible
role
as
the
interim
equity
and
inclusion
director
for
the
city.
K
We
all
know
she's
going
to
do
an
amazing
job
and
I
could
speak
for
quite
a
while
about
all
the
strengths
that
she'll
bring
to
that
position,
including
a
real
commitment
to
working
with
internal
and
external
partners
and
being
committed
to
bringing
people
along
on
the
journey
collaboration's,
really
at
the
core
of
everything
that
brenda
has
contributed
to
this
organization
and
kind
of
who
she
is
as
a
person.
K
So
I
share
all
that
because
that
is
what
made
it
tolerable
to
have
this
hole
that
we
now
have
in
our
department,
and
she
has
certainly
missed
already-
and
she
has
a
wonderful
hire
in
mr
jeremy,
lett
and
jeremy
is
going
to
be
moving
into
an
enter
into
an
interim
neighborhood
and
community
engagement
manager
position,
which
was
brenda's
former
position.
So
he
will
be
the
primary
resource
for
you
all.
K
I
know
that
you
all
have
met
him
and
that
he's
often
in
these
meetings,
I
will
be
working
very
closely
with
him
to
make
sure
that
he's
got
the
support
that
he
needs
to
be
able
to
serve
the
committee
well,
and
I
just
ask
for
your
patience
as
we
shuffle
our
scarce
resources
around
to
meet
all
of
the
needs
and
invite
you
all
if
you
have
any
needs
to
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
this
is
a
very
important
committee.
I
I
am
a
big
fan
of
neighborhoods.
K
K
A
D
Thanks
tala,
this
is
anna
sexton
again
brenda.
Do
we
do
we
want
to
go
over
any
other
staff
updates
like
in
in
meetings
or
past
or
since
you've
transitioned
out
of
the
that
role?
Is
it
yeah?
Where
do
we?
Where
do
we.
A
Stand
with
that,
some
of
the
big
stuff
that
you're
gonna
hear
about
is
today
is
about
the
neighborhood
grant
and
about
the
city
council
in
neighborhoods.
So
that's
that's
the
big
thing
that's
going
on
right
now,
other
than
jeremy
works
on
several
teams,
to
put
it
mildly.
He
took
over
most
of
the
stuff
I'm
doing
as
well
as
what
he
was
doing.
A
There's
a
homelessness
working
group
we've
been
that
has
gone
very,
very
well
where
it's
a
conglomeration
of
a
lot
of
city
department,
representatives
from
parking
to
police,
to
the
homelessness
need
lead
in
community
economic
development.
Kathy
ball,
there's
a
bunch
of
us.
So
what
we're?
What
we
ended
up
doing
is
making
a
lister
which
was
impetus
of
just
just
just
foster
who's,
our
sanitation
director,
and
once
we
send
out
information,
everybody
gets
the
same
information.
A
So
if
there's
issues
you
know
we're
having
people
to
the
point
that
they're
parking
rvs
now
in
people's
neighborhoods
and
so
they're
going
around
responding
to
that,
we
also
work
with
homeward
bound
with
robert
stevenson
and
hillary
brown.
There
are
representatives
on
the
ground
kind
of
helping.
They
know
a
lot
of
these
folks
and
some
they
don't
but
we're
working
through
that,
and
so
there's
that
and
then
other
than
that
I
have
kind
of
been
out
of
the
loop.
So
I'm
a
little
I'm
sorry
about
that.
A
Most
of
what
most
of
the
updates
that
you
needed
came
in
your
neighborhood
news
on
sunday
so
and
I'm
hoping
that
that's
really
being
a
really
good
resource
and
elizabeth.
I
just
realized.
I
did
not
add
you
to
the
distribution
list.
I
will
forward
it
to
you
I'll,
make
a
note
and
then
I'll
get
you
in
the
system
tonight.
So
my
apologies.
K
And
I
mean,
if
you
don't
mind,
this
is
dow
a
hitch
again
to
to.
As
brenda
was
speaking,
I
realize
there's
another
important
piece
that
well
might
be
important
to
you
all
as
well,
and
that
is
that
our
entire
department
is
cross-trained
in
a
number
of
functions.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
all
know
that
the
work
that
jeremy
was
doing.
K
Our
intention
is
to
backfill
that,
and
we
can
lean
on
our
other
team
members
who
each
are
assigned
to
a
different
department
to
keep
up
some
of
the
momentum
that
he's
been
able
to
generate
and
support
him
in
that
work
as
well.
So
just
want
to
make
sure
you
all
know
that
that
we've
got
other
team
members
that
that
we
can
pull
and
lean
on
as
we
work
through
this
transition
as
well
and
they're
all
committed
to
that
work.
D
Thank
you.
This
is
anna
too.
I
just
have
a
quick
question
so
brenda
I
know,
like
some
of
the
you
were
talking
about
some
of
the
the
groups
and
working
groups
that
you
were
part
of
and
jeremy's
stepping
into
that
role,
so
he'll
be
taking
over.
Also
like
the
technical
review
committee
like
work
as
well,
and
that
sort
of
thing.
A
Yes,
having
lots
of
fun,
I
sent
a
list
to
all
of
those
folks.
We
have.
We
have
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
lot
of
multi-department
groups.
Technical
review
is
just
one.
We
even
have
a
group
of
folks
that
was
formed
about
two
months
ago
that
all
they
all
we
do
all
they
do
is
work
on
compliance
so
from
sanitation
compliance
issues
to
housing,
issues
where
landlords
are
doing
things,
the
police
are
dealing
with
homelessness,
so
all
of
us
meet
once
a
quarter
to
kind
of
talk
about,
what's
happening.
A
What's
going
on
we're
trying
to
communicate
more
about,
you
know
when
there
are
things
happening
on
the
ground,
they
work
better
as
a
group
which
is
great
because
they
can
say
well.
I've
already
seen
that
we're
handling
that
that
kind
of
stuff
and
then
down
to
like
capital
projects,
we're
we're
binding
down
with
our
bond
money
that
we
needed
to
spend.
We
have
until
2023
to
get
that
obligated.
So
some
of
the
final
projects
are
coming
online.
A
You
can
see
a
lot
of
those
out
on
our
engagement
hub.
We
have
a
lot
of
those
noted
for
the
different
communities
that
they
impact.
A
We
try
to
keep
you
updated
with
those
in
that
neighborhood
news
and
on
the
city
news
that
goes
out
as
well,
so
yeah
he'll
be
back
filling
those
I'm
still
trying
to
monitor
a
few
things.
We're
still
going
to
meet
a
couple
times
a
week
for
a
while,
just
to
make
sure
he
can
ask
all
the
questions
he
needs
to
ask
and
we'll
support
him
very
well
throughout.
You
know
this
transition
so.
A
You
will
definitely
see
me
around
and
I
will
miss
you
guys
as
well.
This
has
been
a
a
really
interesting
journey
and
when
I
say
interesting,
a
good
interesting
journey
with
neighborhoods,
because
I
remember
being
the
new
person,
nobody
can
they
sort
of
knew
me.
You
know,
and
now
I'm
trying
to
like
okay
call,
jeremy,
it's
okay!
So
it's
nice
people.
This
is
a
welcoming
community
and
once
they
get
a
hold
of
you,
you
can't
go
anywhere.
A
So
I've
heard
a
lot
from
the
communities
and
neighborhoods
and
it
was
so
wonderful
and
strategic
that
we
were
able
to
add
jeremy
in
february
because
he
is,
he
has
opened
a
lot
more
doors
that
we
were
able
to
open,
plus
we're
just
going
to
continue
to
remind
people
that
he's
there.
So
I
really
appreciate
it
and
wish
you
guys
all
the
best.
D
You
too,
I'm
sure,
we'll
be
asking
for
you
to
come.
Give
us
a
staff
update
at
some
point
or
presentation,
so
we'll
definitely
see
you
around
all
right,
we'll
go
ahead
and
move
into
our
unfinished
business
for
this
evening
and
on
our
agenda
tonight
is
just
discussing
the
volunteer
of
the
year
recommendations,
so
those
were
submitted
by
the
the
working
group
for
that
specific
task
and
that's
I'm
greta
bush
mike
wasmer
and
wendy
hayner,
and
we
have
the
typed
up
recommendations
and
our
meeting
materials.
D
So
everyone
should
have
had
the
opportunity
to
review
those
and
before
I
hand
it
over
to
to
mike
or
wendy
or
anyone
else
who
wants
to
chime
in.
I
think
right
now,
my
recollection
is
we
we're
sort
of
at
the
point
where
we
just
sort
of
want
to
make
sure
everybody
is
good
with
finalizing
those
recommendations
and-
and
if
that
in
fact
is
the
case,
do
we
need
to
take
any
formal
action
through
a
vote?
Or
can
we
just
go
ahead
and
okay,
okay,
those
recommendations
without
a
vote?
D
So
I
guess
that
question
is
directly
for
you,
brenda
and
then.
A
I
think
you're
good-
these
are
your.
This
is
this
is
an
initiative
of
yours.
So
if
everyone
agrees
and
has
no
heartburn
with
it,
I
think
it's
fine.
We.
D
Great,
thank
you
so
yeah
I'll
open
up
the
floor.
If
anybody
has
any
comments,
changes
or
additions
that
they'd
like
to
consider
for
incorporation.
M
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
anna
this
is
wendy
haner,
who
is
part
of
that
committee
is
for
everyone
to
have
an
opportunity
to
read
the
proposals
that
we
have
written
out
and
then
come
back
next
month,
and
all
of
us
agree
on
the
procedure
that
we're
going
to
follow.
M
I'm
not
sure
if
everybody
was
able
to
review
that
in
enough
time,
so
that
my
proposal,
thank
you.
A
A
A
So
I
can
do
that
or
you
can
do
that
if
you
would
like
and
then
from
that
point,
if
people
still
have
a
little
heartburn
and
want
to
wait
because
you're
going
to
have
other
issues
that
are
coming
up.
So
I
think
you
know
this
is
good
stuff.
D
This
is
anna
and
I
agree
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
move
it
along
yeah
and
unless
anybody
has
heartburn-
and
we
can
certainly
have
folks
go
over
some
highlights
again
but
bobbitt-
please
go
ahead.
I
see
your
hand.
F
Because
of
being
conscious
of
time-
and
I
think
that
everyone
has
read
it-
it's
we've
gone
over
this
before
so,
let's
continue
on.
I
think
it's
we're
all.
A
D
Right
very
good,
we'll
go
ahead
and
make
those
recommended
error.
I
guess,
approve
those
those
changes
or
recommendations
to
the
whole
process
and
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
greta
wendy
and
mike
for
the
thought
that
you
put
into
that
and
for
putting
together
what
I
think
is
a
very
sort
of
clear
and
concise
process,
and
I'm
hopeful
and
excited
that
it'll
generate
some
more
applications
in
the
future.
When
we're
looking
at
highlighting
some
of
the
the
folks
in
our
community
for
the
good
work
that
they
do.
D
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
We
will
go
ahead
then
and
cross
that
off
our
list,
which
feels
really
good
and
move
into
new
business,
and
with
that
we
will
start
off
with
a
presentation
by
lucy
crown
on
the
close,
the
gap,
project,
presentation
materials
for
this
presentation
were
also
added
to
your
meeting
materials.
I
believe
this
morning,
so
you
can
find
that
resource
there
and
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
lucy
for
taking
the
time
to
present,
and
I
will
turn
that
over
to
you
now.
N
Just
for
my
own
sort
of
notes
that
I
take
during
these
meetings,
I
didn't
hear
a
formal
acceptance
of
the
recommendations
from
the
presentation
that
just
happened
so
are.
Will
those
I'm
looking
to
see
where
they're
at
neighborhood
volunteer
of
the
year
award
working
group
recommendations
be
formally
accepted
at
a
future
meeting?
Are
they
going
to
be
accepted
now
and
if
so,
will
there
be
a
vote
to
formally
recognize
them.
D
H
Mike
wasmer
will
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
changes
to
the
neighborhood
recognition
in
a
second.
D
Thank
you
mike,
and
then
we
have
a
second
part
of
it.
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
run
through
roll
call,
all
right
bob
at
mace,
hi,
elizabeth
lycus,
hi,
jp
chalarka.
O
H
M
D
B
P
Thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me
to
the
knack
meeting
to
talk
with
you.
Brenda
told
me
that
you
would
like
a
quick
update
on
the
gap
plans
and
greenway
stuff,
so
I
I'm
happy
to
be
here
today
to
let
you
know
what
we're
doing.
This
happens
to
be
a
really
important
week,
because
we
are
about
to
start
another
round
of
public
engagement
for
our
close
the
gap
plans.
P
Our
close
the
gap
plans
stand
for
greenway,
ada
transition
and
pedestrian
plan,
and
we
started
working
on
this
before
covid.
This
is
this
has
been
a
longer
planning
process
than
normal,
because
well,
public
engagement
is
super
difficult,
so
because
public
engagement
is
such
an
important
part
of
our
planning
process.
For
these
three
plans,
we've
been
trying
to
gather
as
much
information
as
we
can
virtually,
but
this
time
around
we're
hoping
to
be
able
to
do
a
little
bit
more
physical
outreach
fingers
crossed.
P
So
to
explain
what
we're
doing.
I
think
I
can
give
you
a
more
poetic
understanding
of
what
we're
trying
to
do,
and
I
have
a
video
that
is
attached
to
your
to
your
packet
today
in
my
slide
presentation,
but
I'm
gonna
pop
out
of
this
and
turn
it
on
in
a
different
video
player.
So
it's
clearer
for
you
to
see
on
the
video.
O
My
name
is
roy
harris
and
I
have
been
living
in
this
neighborhood
now
for
36
years
to
start,
I've
stopped
counting
and
the
south
side
neighborhood
as
people
refer
to
it.
I
am
the
unofficial
line
of
the
neighborhood
once
I
retired
and
decided
just
you
know,
since
you
want
to
be
living
in
this
neighborhood
just
check
it
out,
and
so
I
started
to
walk
the
neighborhood.
I've
been
walking
ever
since
last,
four
or
five
years
just
walking
the
neighborhood,
and
I
can
see
the
changes
that
are
happening
in
the
neighborhood.
Q
R
R
With
the
sidewalks
in
the
city,
especially
30
years
after
the
ada,
was
passed,
there
are
still
many
challenges,
whether
it's
inaccessible
ramps
or
trash
cans
or
broken
sidewalks.
It
prevents
me
from
being
able
to
pass
through
oftentimes.
Maybe
someone
could
just
step
over
it
or
walk
around
it,
but
for
me
it
makes
it.
S
It's
in
curry,
john
and
I
have
lived
in
asheville
right
around
19
years,
just
up
clips
of
the
street.
When
I
moved
here,
I
found
out
that
there
was
a
charlotte
street
corridor
plant
that
was
essentially
a.
It
was
now
called
the
road
diet
and
the
city
had
adopted
it
primarily.
The
reason
we
wanted
to
live
at
the
area
we
did
was
that
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
walk
and
there's
also
a
bus
nearby
and
not
have
to
rely
solely
on
the
car.
C
My
name
is
dave
nutter,
I'm
a
neighbor
here
I
live
just
around
the
corner
from
this
lovely
reed,
creek
greenway,
which
I
use
every
single
day.
I
walk
about
five
miles
a
day
and
it's
very
good
for
me
in
terms
of
health
and
relaxation
and
quiet,
and
you
can
really
think
on
greenways
you
can
sit
and
rest
and
relax.
Q
O
Q
There's
several
different
parts
to
walking
safely
in
asheville.
For
me,
part
of
it
depends
on
the
homeowners
like
there's
places
where
there's
brush
that
hangs
over
the
sidewalk.
So
occasionally
I
end
up
with
scrapes
on
my
face,
which
is
not
very
fun
also
if
the
trashcans
could
just
stay
off
the
sidewalks.
That
would
make
it
much
easier
for
me.
E
T
U
L
B
V
E
G
It's
important
for
me
to
be
able
to
access
these
places
freely
of
charge
without
any
entrances,
running
bikes,
just
going
for
a
walk
and
and
relaxing
and
that's
part
of
being
human
and
that's
part
of
the
benefits
of
places
like.
R
This
I'm
encouraged
and
pleased
with
the
efforts
of
this
city
to
improve
accessibility,
to
incorporate
more
inclusive
universal
designs
for
pedestrian
ways
and
greenways,
and
it
has
greatly
improved
my
access
and
others
so
that.
W
I
can
be
a
better
part
of
the
community
and
participate
charlotte
street
road
diet
has
really
been
implemented
in
the
last
six
months,
certainly
for
pedestrian
traffic.
It's
a
big
improvement.
As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
there
are
a
lot
more
places
where
you
can
crawl
safely.
People
do
have
to
stop
it's
more
comfortable.
It's
more
pleasant.
Q
T
G
Well,
in
this
place,
in
particular,
when
it
is
busy
parking,
is
an
issue
working.
Q
On
lake
shore
drive
would
be
a
lot
better
if
we
had
a
sidewalk,
a
lower
speed
limit
and
maybe
a
possible
police
patrol
to
catch
people
that
are
speeding
a
lot
of
places
in
asheville,
but
the
sidewalks
are
actually
pretty
narrow
going
forward.
If
the
city
could
look
into
having
a
strip
of
green
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
street.
That
would
give
me
a
little
more
comfort.
R
I
think
the
hard
thing
is
it's
hard
to
ever
get
a
timeline
like
you
communicate
things
problem
areas
and
it
could
be
months.
It
can
be
years
for
folks
with
disabilities
you're
just
waiting,
and
you
can't
use
things
you
can't
access
things,
so
I
think
it
does
help
to
kind
of
know
when
things
might
happen.
C
P
P
So
one
of
the
big
things
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
starting
this
week
is
having
some
a
couple
of
virtual
meetings
there
the
same
meeting,
so
you
only
need
to
attend
one,
and
if
you
aren't
able
to
attend
one,
we
will
record
them
and
have
them
on
our
project
page,
which
is
ashevillenc.gov,
backslash
close
the
gap,
but
I
usually
tell
people,
google
close
the
gap,
asheville
and
you'll
find
it
just
as
quickly
and
again.
This
is
my
email
address,
which
is
also
on
that
project.
Page.
P
If
you
want
to
share
it
with
your
neighbors,
please
do
I
really
want
to
hear
from
people
we
we
have
a
lot
of
people
respond
to
our
last
survey.
That
was
in
december.
It
was
between
thanksgiving
and
christmas
and
we
extended
it
into
the
new
year
and
we
did
receive
almost
2
000
responders.
P
P
I
mean
it's
not
addressing
an
immediate
problem
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
bigger
problems
out
there
right
now
for
a
lot
of
neighborhoods,
but
if
I
could
just
be
able
to
share
people's
time
for
a
little
bit
in
the
next
month,
two
three
months
time
to
be
able
to
get
a
more
comprehensive
idea
of
what
people
are
looking
for
in
their
neighborhoods
right
now.
It's
super
important
because
if
it's
not
in
the
master
plan,
it's
really
hard
for
us
to
get
projects
implemented.
P
So
that's
that's
it
for
our
close
the
gap
before
I
open
for
questions.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
brief
update
on
what
we're
doing
with
greenways.
I
hope
all
of
you
have
been
down
to
the
wilma
dieckmann
greenway
in
the
river
arts
district.
It's
open!
Now
it's
two
miles
long
on
the
east
side
of
the
river.
P
It
has
almost
20
feet,
width
of
multi-use
path
and
and
dedicated
bicycle
paths.
It's
already
very
busy.
It
makes
me
really
proud
to
see
people
from
all
different
parts
of
asheville
down
there
enjoying
it
and
it
was
named
after
wilma,
dykman
she's
a
long
time,
well,
she's
passed
away
now,
but
she
lived
in
asheville
for
a
super
long
time,
she's
from
the
beaver
dam
area,
and
she
was
a
very
well-known
writer
people.
P
P
We
also
are
working
on
the
french
broad
river
greenway.
The
last
section
in
the
city
of
asheville
is
closing
the
gap
between
what
is
behind
new
belgium
brewing
company
and
at
the
french
broad
river
park,
where
the
dog
park
is
we're
also
doing
that
little
section
underneath
amboy
road,
that's
a
dirt
path,
but
this
is
a
one
mile,
long
greenway
that
we
just
started,
so
we
will
be
working
on
it
for
the
next
12
months
and
we'll
be
working
with
garden
groups
to
feature
edible
plants.
P
We
are
about
to
begin
construction
on
that,
if
god
willing
in
the
creeks,
don't
rise,
because
if
that's
the
way
they
call
it
now,
this
greenway
was
planned
in
2014.
P
We've
had
close
funding
for
this
project
two
different
times,
and
we
finally
have
the
funding
secured
and
are
finishing
up
the
storm
water
requirements
on
this
greenway.
To
be
able
to
start
construction,
this
winter
and
most
likely
this
spring
coming
up
because
asphalt
companies
close
in
the
winter
time.
P
So
this
this
greenway
is
going
to
feature
the
story
of
the
southside
neighborhood
before
urban
renewal,
and
I
hope,
give
a
great
story
for
us
today
and
in
the
future
to
understand
what
happened
to
the
prospering
community.
That
was
here.
P
And
then
the
third
project
that
we're
working
on
right
now
is
the
first
phase
of
the
swannanoa
river
greenway.
This
is
a
one
mile
section
of
a
seven
and
a
half
mile
long
greenway
corridor,
which
will
eventually
meet
up
with
amboy
road
where
the
wilma
duckman
greenway
ends.
P
Here
the
riverbend
greenways
it's
called
and
then
we'll
come
up
and
go
over
the
bridge
on
bleachery
road
and
terminate
at
the
intersection
of
bleachery
and
swananoa
river
road,
and
the
reason
we're
doing
this
section
is
one
because
it's
entirely
off-road
through
this
area.
So
it's
not
a
section
that
we
could
wait
for
the
dot
to
work
on
a
road
project
and
get
involved
with
those
kind
of
constructions
that
are
great
for
cost
efficiencies.
P
P
So
this
one
mile
section
is
what
we
have
to
work
with
in
the
meantime
and
we're
very
excited
to
be
getting
that
started
as
soon
as
the
designs
are
done
and
we
are
currently
at
about
60
of
the
design
phase.
So
we'll
be
done.
Hopefully,
within
three
months
three
to
four
months.
Our
designs
will
be
ready
and
we'll
be
moving
straight
into
construction
because
it
is
funded
by
a
transportation
bond
project
and,
as
brenda
told
you,
we
need
to
have
those
funds
activated
by
2023.
P
M
P
Yes,
thanks
for
asking
that
we
have
money
to
do
the
engineering
for
that
section
and
I
hope
to
put
out
a
request
for
it's
called
letters
of
interest.
P
I
was
hoping
to
do
it
by
this
month,
but
I'm
a
little
bit
too
busy
with
the
gap
right
now,
so
it
might
be
september
when
I
release
that
to
look
for
a
consultant
to
work
with
us
on
that
one
mile
section,
and
then
at
that
intersection
of
broadway
and
riverside,
we
will
also
be
doing
a
feasibility
study
for
the
reed
creek
greenway
to
finish
that
section
and
the
town
of
woodfin
is
also
about
to
well.
P
J
Hi
lucy,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
information
and
those
graphic.
Those
images
are
really
neat
and
that's
exciting.
J
P
So
there's
no
active
projects
right
now.
However,
the
thompson
street
swannanoa
river
road
area
still
continues
to
be
a
very
important
part
of
our
greenway
master
plan
and
it's
not
just
the
city's
master
plan.
The
county
identifies
that
as
a
spine
greenway
for
them.
It
is
part
of
the
fontaflora
state
trail
and
it's
also
part
of
our
regional
hellbender
trail.
So
it's
a
really
important
area
and
we
were.
P
But
if
there's
a
silver
lining,
it
is
that
we
have
a
little
bit
more
time
to
plan
and
make
it
a
really
awesome
place,
and
I
still
keep
thompson
street
in
our
my
creative
brain
and
working
with
partners
on
some
ideas
on
maybe
ways
that
we
can
utilize
thompson
street.
In
the
meantime,
I
don't
have
any
plans
to
talk
about,
but
it's
something
that
would
be
nice
to
see.
D
Well,
thanks
baba.
I
think
we're
gonna
wrap
up
here
in
just
a
few
minutes
but
lucy
for
folks
who
may
be
a
little
bit
less
familiar
with
the
project.
Could
you
run
through
sort
of
the
that
anticipated
timeline
for
the
remainder
of
the
project
and
sort
of
some
of
the
big
milestones?
D
P
P
I
am
really
really
wanting
to
talk
to
the
zip
codes
and
the
neighborhoods
that
I
didn't
hear
much
from
the
first
round.
So
don't
be
shy
and
I
might
be
coming
knocking
on
your
door
anyway,
and
after
this,
this
phase
of
input
will
be
wrapping
it
up.
P
I
I
represent
28805
and
there's
a
lot
of
concern
about
the
bo
catcher
greenway
and
I
don't
want
to
give
you
all
our
major
concerns,
because
we've
been
to
council
on
it
with
the
amount
of
urban
forestry
commission
concerned
about
the
600
trees,
all
the
retaining
walls.
So,
instead
of
inundating
you
with
my
neighborhood
and
other
boards
and
commissions,
I'm
on
how
far
down
the
road
is,
the
bo
catcher
greenway
issue.
Do
I
need
to
input
now
our
continued
concerns
on
on
that
particular
greenway.
P
Well,
this
is
a
great
time
to
give
comments
when
we
have
that
open
survey
so
tell
your
neighbors
to
please
use
that
opportunity
sharon.
If
you
and
I
could
have
a
conversation
after
this
meeting
sometime,
so
I
can
get
more
details
on
what
are
your
concerns.
P
There
is
some
money
set
aside
for
the
bow
catcher
greenway
in
this
year's
budget,
but
we
are
up
to
our
eyeballs
and
transportation
bond
projects,
so
I
don't
know
how
far
we
can
get
with
bowcatcher
at
this
time,
but
we
are
looking
at
a
modified
version
of
boat
catcher,
which
would
cut
down
a
lot
of
the
retaining
walls
and
the
need
to
get
rid
of
trees.
I
Okay,
I've
been
talking
to
you
about
this
through
the
last
three
years
and
you
probably
don't
remember,
and
all
of
us
in
the
neighborhood
did
respond
to
the
to
the.
I
forget
what
you
call
it
that
you
sent
out
to
everybody
online
and
we
did
respond
to
that.
But
I
will
we
have
not
seen
nor
had
at
that
time.
Has
there
been
any
new
plans
being
submitted
that
we
have
asked
for
to
see.
I
The
same
one
that
we
all
have
seen
many
times
right,
I'll,
just
check
in
with
you
and
then
and
keep
you
updated,
how
we
feel
about
it
and
then
just
keep
you
apprised
on
it,
and
I
appreciate
all
your
work
and
questions.
You've
helped
with
me
and
our
neighborhood
on
it
thanks.
You
bet.
P
D
This
is
anna.
We
are
sort
of
running
short
on
time,
so
I'm
gonna,
let
elizabeth
ask
her
a
question
and
then
we'll
wrap
it
up
after
that.
J
P
D
I
actually
just
finished
up
an
ada
plan
for
a
small
community
through
my
professional
job,
and
the
stuff
is
really
important,
and
I
think
it's
great
to
remember
that
mac
is
part
of
our
role
is
advising
council
on
a
host
of
things.
But
this
is
a
very,
very
important
and
significant
way
to
do
that,
albeit
indirectly,
through
the
feedback
that
we
can
provide
to
city
staff
and
through
promoting
public
engagement
to
our
networks,
so
that
they
can
provide
comment
to
city
staff
on
what
they
want.
D
This
plan
to
look
like,
and
it
also
as
lucy
mentioned,
is
really
important
because
it
having
having
plans
in
place
for
various
aspects
of
the
transportation
network,
opens
up
funding
and
cost
sharing,
where
we
don't
have
to
foot
the
bill
the
entire
way.
So
it's
really
important
stuff,
and
I
know
everybody
wants
more
sidewalks
in
town.
So
thank
you
very
much
lucy.
D
Right
well
quickly,
move
on
to
pulling
up
my
notes
here
again.
The
overview
of
the
neighborhood
grants,
program
and
timeline.
Jeremy
was
going
to
present
on
that
and
I
think
brenda
is
going
to
step
in
and
provide
us
that
update
tonight.
K
No
I'm
happy
to
do
it.
This
is
something
back
to
that.
My
passion
really
lies
in
neighborhoods
after
many
many
many
years.
I
am
I'm
thrilled
to
say
that
we
will
be
launching
a
city-wide,
neighborhood
neighborhood
grants
program
and
it
will
be
launching
this
fall.
K
So
I
I'm
what
I'd
like
to
do
tonight
is
to
share
an
overview
with
you
all
kind
of
the,
why,
behind
it
and
some
high
level
pieces
to
what
it's
going
to
look
like
once
it's
executed,
and
then
I
certainly
want
to
hear
if
you
all
have
any
questions,
because
that
is
going
to
help
us
as
we
finalize
the
final
pieces
to
really
know
where
people
might
have
more
questions
so
that
we
can
do
a
better
job,
communicating
anticipating
questions
that
might
come.
K
K
K
People
bounce
that
word
around
a
lot
like
what
is
what
does
building
capacity
mean
and
building
capacity
really
means
self-determination
right?
Where
a
neighborhood
can
say
look,
we
know
what
is
most
important
to
us
because
we
live
here
and
we
think
these
things.
Investments
in
these
ways
will
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
our
neighborhood
and
we're
going
to
put
some
skin
in
the
game
to
help
make
this
happen.
K
So
again,
making
sure
so
another
point
would
be
that
that
that
neighborhoods
are
really
taking
the
lead
and
determining
what's
most
important
to
them.
I
know
I
mentioned
that
before,
but
it's
a
really
critical
piece
of
this
and
then
strengthening
those
partnerships
between
the
governmental
organization
and
the
neighborhood.
K
So
if
there's
a
grant,
for
example,
that
has
something
to
do
with
a
neighborhood
sign,
let's
say
a
neighborhood
wants
to
do
that.
Then
there
will
be
resources
available,
some
technical
assistance
and
then
that
work
with
our
development
services
department
to
get
all
the
permits
and
the
things
that
would
be
needed
to
erect
that
sign,
and
our
hope
is
then
that
that
community,
through
that
experience,
has
had
hopefully
positive
experiences
with
our
dsd
and
can
help
their
neighbors
and
others
navigate
through
that
process.
K
Right
so
that
we've
got
folks
that
are
building
safe
structures
and
they
feel,
like
our
dsd
department,
is
a
department
for
them.
Instead
of
something
that
might
feel
a
little
bit
scary
or
confusing.
You
know.
Often
often
the
public
works
building
where
they
live,
so
those
are
some
of
the
goals
of
this
program.
So
if
it's
wildly
successful,
we
hope,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
that
that
those
things
aren't
that
those
things
are
achieved
and.
K
There
are
some
criteria
that
have
been
drafted
and
I
thought
that
you
all,
if
you
don't,
have
any
question
kind
of
big
picture
questions
about
what
is
this
thing
all
about?
We
could
move
into
what
some
of
those
different
criteria
are
going
to
be
for,
for
any
of
the
grant
funds
see
some
modding
heads
thumbs
up
fantastic,
so
one
it
must
be
achievable
in
12
months,
and
so
at
this
point,
I'll
share
and
we'll
revisit
it
again.
But
part
of
the
process
will
be
that
that
there
will
be
once
the
announcement
goes
out.
K
The
grant
period
opens
there'll,
be
a
six-month
period
and
then
we're
gonna
do
it
again,
and
I
thought
that
this
was
a
brilliant
approach
that
was
recommended
by
jeremy
and
brenda,
because
you
know
this
happened
under
brenda's
guidance
and
leadership
as
well,
especially
since
it's
a
newer
program
and
and
because
12
year,
12
months
is
a
long
time,
and
so
we'll
have
this
initial
window
and
then
folks
may
see
things
happening
that
are
positive
and
other
neighbors.
K
K
K
We
wanted
to
just
kind
of,
as
the
process
was
moving
along,
making
sure
that
we
were
providing
you
all
with
updates,
because
having
you
all,
as
ambassadors
for
the
program
with
accurate
information,
is
going
to
be
a
great
it's
going
to
be
a
great
benefit
to
how
successful
it
can
be,
and
we
really
appreciate
all
that
you
do
not
only
for
this
grant
program,
but
in
all
the
other
information
that
you
all
share.
K
Now,
one
before
I
get
into
the
timeline,
one
thing
I
did
want
to
spend
some
time
on
is:
is
who's
eligible
and
so
our
our
goal-
and
so
so
here
are
some
of
those
details
in
british.
I
would
invite
you
to
jump
in
to
make
sure
that
I've
got
this,
because
I
know
some
of
this
is
has
been
a
little
bit
fluid.
So
this
is
not
a
finished
product
that
I'm
sharing
with
you
all,
but
it's
some
of
it's
the
foundation.
The
foundation
is
there,
so
so
it
is
not
limited
to
existing
neighborhood
associations.
K
I
feel
like
that's
very
important,
because
I
know
I've
heard
some
feedback.
Brenda
has
heard
some
feedback,
some
concern
that
some
members
of
our
community
might
be
left
out
of
this
process,
and
I
want
you
all
to
hear
that
it
is
not
a
requirement
that
you've
been
an
established,
neighborhood
association.
K
Hopefully
we
might
inspire
some
groups
within
a
geographic
region
to
form
a
neighborhood
association
could
be
a
homeowners
association.
It
could
be
a
residence
council
right,
but
that
there
is
some
kind
of
network
formed
around
this
geographic
area
that
can
sustain
itself
after
this,
and
then
we
would
encourage
those
folks
to
make
sure
that
they're
registered
with
the
city
so
that
again
we
can
share
information
and
begin
to
just
add
to
that
community
fabric
that
we
have,
of
which
neighborhoods
are
such
a
critical
part.
K
So
I
I
wanted
to
at
least
share
that
piece
of
the
eligibility
just
because
we
have
her
some
concern
that
that
some
people
might
be
left
behind.
But
our
intention
is
certainly
for
this
to
be
an
opportunity
for
for
any
anyone
in
our
community.
That
wants
to
organize
and
kind
of
tackle
things
at
a
community
level,
but
this
will
be
an
opportunity
for
them
brenda
did
I
leave
out
anything
critical
that
you.
A
Don't
that's
absolutely.
I
think
one
of
the
things,
though,
is
that
you
only
get
to
not
be
registered
once
so
the
next
time
you
apply
again
we're
looking
for
you
to
get
your
neighborhood
registered,
and
I've
talked
to
you
guys
about
this
before
it's
basically
filling
out
an
application
and
providing
information
about
your
neighborhood
so
that
we
have
a
contact
and
information.
A
You
know
for
future,
you
know
outlook
and
everything,
and
while
we
do
not
expect
you
to
be
like
an
established
neighborhood,
you
must
get
majority
vote
from
your
community,
so
there'll
be
some
form
that
we're
creating
jeremy
created
well,
you'll
have
to
get
so
anna.
If
you
want
to
just
do
it
in
your
neighborhood
and
it's
just
the
surrounding
30
houses,
you
need
to
go
get
signatures
from
those
houses
that
says
we
know
this
is
happening.
We
want
to
participate.
A
We
will
volunteer
now
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
matching
part,
but
we
hope
to
build
community
and
build
neighborhoods
with
these
grants.
So
not
you
know
if
sharon
just
wants
to
go
off
rogue
and
which
I
would
love
if
she'd
come
rogue
and
plant
stuff
in
my
yard,
because
she's
excellent,
but
she
just
wants
to
go
off
rogue
and
east
end,
which
renee's
not
going
to
let
her
and
start
doing
stuff
without
talking
to
the
neighborhood.
So
we
we
want
to
build
that
camaraderie,
which
they
certainly
have
in
eastern.
K
I
A
quick
question:
I'm
on
boat
catcher
and
we
have
a
huge
amount
of
dead
trees
and
things
that
need
repair
and
things
that
fall
on
our
vehicles
and
mudslides,
and
we
have
all
kinds
of
infrastructure
issues
up
here
on
on
bocacher
mountain.
Can
this
money
be
used
to
help
some
of
the
infrastructure
issues
in
our
community?
If
we
get
community
support
to,
you
know,
fix
trees
that
are
falling
over
on
us
all
the
time
and
and
that
kind
of
thing
can
it
be
used
for
physical
aspects
like
that.
K
K
I
do
not
want
to
over
promise
and
if
anything,
what
I
hope
folks
will
walk
away
with
is
that
this
will
be
in
partnership
with
the
city
right,
so
it
so
so
understanding
what
things
like
this
one,
I
know
is
a
sore
spot
for
for
some
neighborhoods,
if
a
neighborhood
that
has
lower
outcomes
for
emergency
responses
asked
for
a
speed
hump,
and
I
I
don't
think
that
that
is
a
project
as
far
as
it
being
a
or
speed
bump.
K
Let's
just
go
all
the
way
right,
you
all
know
the
difference
between
speed,
bumps
humps
and
I
don't
know,
there's
other
other
there's
one
more.
That
has
a
raised
sidewalk.
All
of
that
that
I
don't
that
would
as
a
speed
bump.
That
might
not
be
something
that
that
the
city
could
commit
to,
but
I
think
that
there
will
be.
I
think
the
intention
is
with
this
grant
funding
for
that,
to
start
the
conversation
of
what
could
work
right
and
speed
bumps.
K
Couldn't
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
recommend
that,
because
it
would
go
against
our
policy
for
our
fire
trucks
and
other
emergency
services
to
be
able
to
get
to
people
faster
speed,
bumps
slow
them
down?
Speed,
humps,
don't
so
I
you
know
that
building
that
relationship
and
and
kind
of
understanding
what
any
limitations
might
be
is
an
opportunity
that
we
have
within
this.
K
So
thanks
for
bearing
with
me
with
that
example,
because
it
does
get
complicated
kind
of
quickly
but
yeah,
so
physical
structures,
one
that
I
thought
was
great,
that
came
up
the
other
day
was
well.
We
we
live
in
a
public
housing
neighborhood
and
we
have
issues
with
with
cars
parking
where
they
don't
need
to
be
or
where
they're
creating
a
danger.
K
So
could
that
be
something
that
these
grant
funds
could
pay
for?
To
have
a
private
towing
company
come
in
and
tow
the
cars,
and
that
absolutely
is
is
a
project
that
would
fall
within
the
criteria
of
this
kind
of
fun.
Now
we
would
then
we
would
need
to
get
into
all
right.
What
does
the
match
look
like
and
and
all
of
that,
but
I
we
want
neighborhoods
to
be
creative
right
like
what?
What
are
you
guys
know?
K
You
know
better
than
anybody
all
of
us,
the
people
living
in
our
neighborhoods,
what
the
greatest
challenges
are.
So,
yes,
it
can
be
anything
from
landscaping,
murals,
community
art,
cultural
festivals,
public
safety,
solutions,
marketing
and
branding
for
your
neighborhood
organizational
development
for
your
neighborhood
association,
our
we
know
that
there
are
lots
of
funds,
federal
and
state
that
come
with
a
lot
of
restrictions
and
strings
tied.
So
our
hope
is
here
with
this
money
at
the
local
level
that
we
can
have
more
opportunities
for
creative
solutions.
K
M
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
for
recognizing
me.
One
of
the
neighbors
hoods
in
my
area
is
norwood
park
and
they
have
a
path
that
goes
from
rhemath
road,
all
the
way
down
to
murdoch,
and
it's
a
shortcut
for
the
neighborhood.
M
This
was
built
back
in
1920,
we're
trying
to
determine
if
this
is
part
of
the
city's
responsibility
or
the
neighborhood's
responsibility
and
we're
having
difficult
time
looking
at
that
on
the
city
maps
and
trying
to
figure
out
who's
responsible
for
it.
But
this
is
a
project
that
they're
wanting
to
take
over
and
improve.
M
It's
been
many
many
many
years
since
this
has
been
rehabbed
and
we
have
numerous
children
walking
on
this
walking
all
the
way
down
from
their
neighborhood
down
to
merriman
avenue,
to
catch
the
bus
things
of
that
nature
and
to
access
the
the
main
road.
So
those
are
the
projects
that
they
would
like
to
see
and
I'd
like
to
know
how
we
would
be
able
to
determine
if
this
is
a
city,
responsibility
or
a
neighborhood
responsibility.
K
A
No,
no,
no
you're
fine,
so
so
just
be
just
be
mindful
that
whatever
you
apply
for
must
have
city
approval,
I
think
there's
some
place
on
the
form
for
you
to
have
a
buy-in
like
who
who's
approved
it.
What
they're
going
to
approve-
and
some
of
that
may
be
helpful
in
that
if
they
were
going
to
work
on
it
anyway,
you
may
and
partner
with
them
with
some
of
your
funding,
but
remember
your
funding
is
going
to
be
limited.
A
So
I
are
we
still
at
5
000
yeah.
So
and
if
you
are
interested
or
are
not
sure,
jeremy
can
hook
you
up
with
the
appropriate
department
and
they
can
talk
to
you
about
who
owns
the
land?
Is
it
city?
Is
it
d.o.t?
Is
it
who
and
make
sure
that
you
get
the
partner
with
them,
because
they
would
love
that.
K
Yeah
yeah
and-
and
I,
if
wendy,
if
you
can,
if
I
don't
remember-
because
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
our
time
when
we
were
talking
about
the
timeline
some
some
office
hours,
technical
assistance
is
going
to
be
an
important
part
of
this
grant
process.
And
it's
certainly
during
that
time
that
I'm
imagining
we're
imagining
that
neighborhoods
can
ask
those
types
of
questions
and
and
have
somebody
to
help
kind
of
navigate
through
that,
and
I
saw
your
hand
raised
yeah.
D
Thank
you,
I'm
really
excited
about
this
and
it
sounds
like
there's
been
a
lot
of
forethought
put
into
it.
One
thing
that
comes
to
mind
for
me
is
that
the
funding
on
the
city's
end
is
finite.
Right,
so
is
this
going
to
be
sort
of
like
a
rolling
submission
or
application
review
process
where
you
know
something
comes
in
and
there's
still
money
available,
everything
all
criteria
is
met,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
award
funds
to
them
or
are.
D
Is
there
any
discussion
about
possibly
ranking
or
prioritizing
applications
in
any
way
with,
seeing
you
know,
potential
acknowledging
various
equity
issues,
I
guess
down
the
line,
or
maybe
it's
a
fluid
process
and
you
kind
of
see
how
it
how
it
starts
out
and
maybe
tailor
it
along
the
way
to
address
that
just
so.
K
K
Just
to
affirm
that
he's
kind
of.
I
think
he'll
appreciate
hearing
that
that
he's
kind
of
on
the
on
the
right
track
right,
because
we
do
right
it
is
it
it.
We
have
a
finite
amount
of
money
now
and,
of
course,
we
can't
find
any
future
counsel
to
any
budget
decisions,
so
the
intent
is
absolutely
to
invest
all
of
those
funds
into
neighborhoods
through
some
kind
of
program.
K
So
if
that
means
that
we
need
to
open
up
a
third
six
month
or
a
fourth
sixth
month
period
with
that
original
funding,
we're
certainly
willing
to
do
that.
I
know
we've
got
the
support
of
our
budget
budget
team
to
help
with
all
the
administration
behind
that
as
well.
K
K
That
is
where
we,
when
we
are
planning
to
go
out
and
to
go
out
to
the
community,
I
guess
virtually
and
our
intent
is
to
take
a
more
comprehensive
approach
to
funding
opportunities
so
that
we're
gonna
so
we're
gonna
package.
This
initial,
these
initial
meetings
about
this
funding
opportunity
with
the
arpa
funding
and
then
we're
also
partnering
with
the
county,
so
that
we
have
all
of
these
different
buckets
of
funding
that
we
can
communicate
to
our
community
at
the
same
time.
So
so
they're.
K
What
it's
looking
like
is
they'll,
be
kind
of
a
big
get
everybody
together
a
high
overview
of
funding
opportunities.
You
know,
government
investments
in
community
and
then
we'll
say
if
you're
interested
in
the
neighborhood
grants
go
to
this
breakout
room,
and
then
you
get
jeremy
and
he's
going
to
run
through
the
details
of
that,
and
then
we
can
expect
after
that,
that
he's
going
to
have
additional
time
office
hours
set
up
to
work
with
community
members.
K
But
we
have
heard
and
recognized
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
looking
for
opportunities
and
they
might
not
always
be
the
best
fit
for
one.
So
we're
trying
to
address
that
and
say:
hey,
there's
a
bunch.
I
know
you
heard
about
this
one,
but
it
might
not
be
the
best
fit
like
if
the
neighborhood
says
like.
K
20
thousand
dollar
idea,
we
might
be
able
to
say
here's
another
fun,
here's
another
funding
source
that
might
better
hit
you
or
better
serve
your
needs
or
meet
your
needs.
So
we
want
to
be
able
to
share
that
information
comprehensively
so
october,
4
october,
is,
is
when
we're
looking
at
launching
kind
of
that
comprehensive
government
investment
funding,
not
quite
sure
yet
what
we're
going
to
call
it,
but
it'll
be
around
that
time.
When
we
expect
we'll
be
able
to
launch
the
neighborhood
grant
program.
D
Great,
thank
you.
If
you
don't
have
any
more
to
share
on
that,
I
think
let's
go
ahead
and
transition
to
the
city
council's
meetings
in
neighborhoods,
so
we
can
kind
of
make
up
for
some
yes
and
then
get.
K
Everything
in
yes
yeah
and
this
one
will
be
so
I
it
came
to
me
that
that
I
I
think
it's
our
boards
and
commissions
council
subcommittee-
had
had
had
some
real
interest
in
talking
about
council
getting
out
into
communities,
and
I
know
that
that
is
also
something
that
you
all
have
talked
about.
It's
something
that
you
all
have
led
at
different
points
in
time
and
my
hope
is
to
just
hear
from
you
all
about
what
you
think
some
valuable
approaches
might
be.
K
You
know
public
hearing,
you
know,
consent
agenda
public,
hearing
new
business.
All
of
that
would
we
want
to
explore
bringing
a
meeting
like
that
into
neighborhoods.
Or
do
you
all
think
and
have
do
you
hear
from
from
the
neighborhoods
that
that
you
serve
that
something
more
along
the
lines
of
what
we've
done
in
the
past?
Where
there's
an
issue,
that's
identified
by
a
geographic
area
and
then
council
comes
to
listen,
would
be
more
helpful
or
we
could
go
even
way
back
and
we
could
do
they
weren't
attended
very
well,
but
but
we
can
do
anything.
K
K
K
I
This
is
a
much
needed
idea.
My
involvement
in
other
commissions
boards
and
commissions.
I
You've
got
a
subcommittee
going
on,
and
so
what
you
want
is
you
want
some
ideas
that
might
resonate
with
the
the
neighborhoods.
That
would
be,
how
can
we
get
information
to
council
members.
K
I
Right,
and
so
is
that
have
you
come
to?
I
don't
know
how
far
along
you
are
in
this
thinking,
process
or
working.
Is
that
on
every
six
month
thing
or
is
any
you
have
not
formulated
any
ideas
on
anything
at
all,
so
you're
just
open
to
any
ideas
that
which
is
great,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
ideas.
K
A
K
N
Yeah
right,
I
think,
there's
a
just
seeking
an
appetite
but
also
which
direction
we
would
head,
because
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
has
done
meetings.
I've
attended
them.
So
when
I
was
the
president
of
the
east
west
asheville
neighborhood
association,
there
was
a
meeting
about
the
noise
ordinance
recently
or
noise
issues,
but
before
that
there
was
one
in
the
hall
creek
neighborhood.
I
know
that
was
maybe
four
or
five
years
ago,
though
so,
should
it
be
around
a
specific
topic?
Should
it
just
be
accessibility
in
general,
I've
also
attended
one.
N
Maybe
it
was
four
budget
cycles
ago
at
hall
fletcher
about
the
budget.
There
were
maybe
40
staff
in
the
room,
and
maybe
four
people
in
attendance.
So
I
think
finding
where
the
need
is
most
will
be
important
and
then,
as
has
already
been
mentioned
in
this
meeting,
using
networks
in
the
neighborhoods
to
do.
Outreach
will
also
be
really
helpful.
J
D
Sorry,
sharon
I'll
be
quick
kim
with
that
in
mind,
knowing
that
there
is
a
september
meeting
coming
up
and
wanting
to
take
advantage
of
sort
of
the
window
of
opportunity
that
we
have
right
now,
what
kind,
when
would
be
best
for
us
to
sort
of
collectively,
as
knack,
maybe
get
some
information
to
city
staff.
To
then
share
with
you
all
like
deadline,
wise.
N
Oh,
I
would
say
two
weeks
before
that
meeting,
but
that's
going
to
be
coming
up
soon,
so
you
could
send
it
with
to
staff
and
you
could
carry
it
to
me
as
well,
if
you
like,
because
I'm
on
the
boards
and
commission
boards
and
commissions
committee
and
I'm
happy
to
distribute
it
thanks.
I
Oh
sharon,
I've
changed
my
mind
after
listening
to
anna,
but
from
my
experience
of
working
with
other
neighborhoods
in
my
own
neighborhood
on
nac
and
28805,
is
that
there
is
a
when
there's
a
large
development
or
large
change
in
the
community
is
when
everybody
coalesces
and
starts
trying
to
get
information
to
whomever
will
listen
at
the
city
or
the
council
level
before
the
development
becomes
the
end
result
of
it,
and
that
has
been
my
experience
of
all
of
a
sudden.
I
It's
putting
out
fires
when
a
huge
development
comes
in
and
changes
the
whole
aspect
of
a
neighborhood
and
then
you've
got
all
these
people
sending
stuff
to
council.
You've
got
the
developers
talking
to
council.
You've
got
the
the
people
talking
to
council.
You've
got
all
a
whole
load
of
stuff
flying
around
for
me.
I
If
there
was
a
council
involved
with
a
neighborhood
meeting
when
it's
a
large,
what
we
consider
large
development
change
in
a
neighborhood
is
getting
it
in
the
beginning,
so
that
the
neighbors
feel
like
they're
being
heard
when
something
is
changing
the
whole
the
whole
look
of
their
neighborhood
does
that
make
sense,
and
but
I
wouldn't
know
how
to
coalesce
that
down
into
how
does
that
work?
All
of
a
sudden
we've
got
a
big
development
going
in
over
here.
I
Most
of
the
time
the
developments
are
a
year
before
they
hit
the
process
of
submittal
to
the
city.
So
and
then
the
neighborhood
meeting
sometimes
is
only
like
a
month
before
the
project.
It
hits
trc
for
review.
I
So
there's
this
real
crammed
in
period
and
I
would
say
for
working
on
the
organizations
I
work
on
if
we
could
make
the
neighborhoods
be
able
to
have
a
say
in
what's
being
developed
with
council,
would
really
alleviate
a
lot
of
this
trying
to
put
a
fire
out.
That
could
have
probably
been
headed
off
way
beforehand,
but
I
wouldn't
know
how
that
would
work
or
even
how
to
tell
you
that.
N
So
that
makes
me
think
about
just
in
general,
it's
always
easier
to
get
to
folks
to
show
up
when
there's
a
problem
and
harder
to
get
sort
of
advanced
input.
We
also
know
that
folks
want
to
be
asked
before
decision
is
made,
especially
if
we
don't
want
to
see
people
with
the
concern
that
decisions
are
being
made
about
them
without
them.
So
an
example
of
what
that
could
look
like
is.
I
know
that
the
reparations
commission
will
be
doing
a
process,
so
maybe
we
could
do
some
neighborhood
meetings
around
that.
N
I
heard
that
come
up
in
the
listening
sessions.
Another
example
could
look
like
the
unified
development
ordinance
updates
before
we
get
to
a
point
where
they're
in
draft
mode,
but
really
hearing
concerns
from
neighborhoods
in
advance,
but
it
is
difficult
unless
the
rolling
stones
are
in
town
to
get
a
big
crowd
without
a
problem
already
in
place.
I
have
to
go
back
to
my
other
job
right
now,
but
I
will
review
the
rest
of
this
meeting
and
look
forward
to
what
other
input
you've
offered.
Thank
you.
So
much
thanks.
D
Kim
this
is
anna
again,
it's
6
30..
I
do
think
that
this
discussion
warrants
continued
conversation,
whether
that
happens,
sort
of
offline
in
a
way
where
we're
not
violating
any
quorum
issues
via
email
or
potentially
adding
it
to
unfinished
business
at
our
next
meeting,
so
maybe
exploring
both
of
those
options,
because
I
think
sharon
you've
already
shared
some
really
good
ideas
and
sort
of
made
me
think
about
some,
some
things
as
well,
and
I
think
this
would
be
really
good
for
folks
to
sort
of
mull
over
and
come
back
to.
D
So,
if
you
guys
are
brenda,
go.
A
Ahead,
let
me
share
that.
You
know
in
our
engagement
hub.
We
set
up
an
email
just
like
with
your
meetings,
there's
an
email
and
a
voicemail
for
you
to
leave
comments
for
city
council.
Let
me
encourage
you
guys
I'll,
follow
up
with
an
email
and
give
you
the
link
to
their
their
upcoming
as
soon
as
it
gets
set
up.
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
set
up
yet
and
get
you
the
link
to
that,
because
that's
a
great
way
to
email
in
and
just
let
them
know
you're.
A
You
know
you're
a
part
of
knack
that
you
wanted
to
offer
this
suggestion.
You
know
and
go
from
there.
That's
one
way
to
do
that
and
then,
if
somebody
wanted
to
share
a
document,
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
are
comfortable
with
google.
Most
of
you
are
and
offline,
you
guys
just
start
adding
suggestions
and
topics.
I
do
think
that
if
council
is
like,
if
people
know,
council
is
going
to
be
there,
I
think
people
will
come
and
especially
you
all
know
the
issues
that
you've
been
having
homelessness
development.
A
I
mean
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on
so
those
are.
Some
of
the
main
issues,
but
what
you
guys
have
really
been
focused
on
is
development,
so
I
I
think
you
know,
starting
with
that,
maybe
and
and
then
just
look
around
like
what
are
your.
What
are
the
questions
you
have
and
what
are
the
process
needs?
You
need,
and
you
know
in
order.
You
know
for
council
to
just
answer
your
questions.
So
just
just
some
guesses
to
because
their
meeting
is
usually
the
set
is
the
second
tuesday.
K
A
K
K
So
I
not
that
I'm
discouraging
you
all
from
getting
that
information,
brunette's,
brilliant,
absolutely
and
and
the
public
engagement
hub
for
that
committee
meeting
would
be
ideal
as
part
of
the
public
comment
and
identifying
yourself,
as
as
a
knack
member,
as
brenda
said,
could
help
shape
that
first
conversation
and
then
I'm
certain
that
there
will
be
more
as
as
the
idea
is
fleshed
out
a
little
bit.
But
if
we
could
start
off
from
the
very
beginning
that
was
the
thinking
man.
D
Thanks
brenda,
this
is
anna
yeah
that
was
actually
going
to
be.
What
I
was
going
to
say
is,
of
course,
folks
should
feel
free
to
send
comments
to
city
council
individually
at
any
time
with
with
ideas
or
feedback.
D
I
do
think
that
if
we
came
to
some
sort
of
collective
idea
or
path
forward
as
a
committee,
there
may
be
a
little
bit
more,
it
may
be
a
little
bit
more
convincing
to
counsel
as
a
whole,
but
also
yeah
in
the
interest
of
time
want
to
move
on,
but
just
want
to
say
thank
you
dalla
for
thinking
about
engaging
knack
from
the
very
beginning.
D
D
But
let's
sharon
do
you
want
to
maybe
take
the.
Q
I
I
Many
groups
of
people
that
are
involved
in
the
city
and
in
the
red
is
that
me
back
sorry.
I
hear
feedback
and
I
think
we're
almost
headed
towards
the
end
of
it,
so
that
I
can
actually
submit
something
that
will
mean
something
to
somebody
we're
dealing
with
open
space
percentages
on
protected
areas,
and
I
don't
know
if
all
of
you
know
that,
just
because
an
area
is
protected
doesn't
mean
it
can't
be
built
on.
I
It
can
be
built
on
even
if
it's
protected,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
we're
trying
to
keep
areas
that
are
protected
and
keep
them
from
being
built
on
and
then
saved
in
perpetuity,
so
that
we
recognize
the
fact
that
builders
can
come
in
and
you
can
actually
build
anything
anywhere
if
you've
got
the
engineering
and
how
we
protect
some
of
our
our
open
spaces,
our
wetlands,
our
steep
slopes
from
being
inundated
allowing
developers
and
builders
and
homeowners
to
do
what
they
want
and
protecting
what
we
can
for
the
future.
I
It's
been
a
very
long,
difficult
conversations,
and
but
that's
where
we're
at
now
and
we're
coming
to
resolution
for
all
of
us,
which
is
kind
of
a
miracle.
So
it's
been
as
anna
knows,
it's
been
herding
cats,
but
it's
been
good.
So
that's
my
short
short
version
of
that.
D
Thanks
sharon
yeah-
that
was
for
folks
tuning
in
that
was
our
member
updates
on
other
boards,
where
sharon
and
I
are
serving
on
the
open
space
task
force
to
propose
some
amendments
to
the
current
ordinance
language
regarding
open
space.
D
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
into
updates
on
the
multimodal
transportation
commission
and
we
had
a
meeting
just
after
our
july
knack
meeting
so
that
some
updates
from
that
include
staff.
Discussion
on
a
federal
transit
administration
grant
opportunity
for
50,
ashland
avenue
and
folks
can
also
look
in
the
asheville
citizen
times.
There's
a
story
that
came
out
about
two
weeks
ago.
That
talked
about
this
as
well.
D
But
the
city
is
seeking
a
federal
grant
for
850
000
to
sort
of
rethink
the
talbot
lot
that
was
recently
purchased
by
the
city
and
develop
it
into.
D
I
think:
a
truly
sort
of
transit,
oriented
development
that
combines
affordable
housing
and
transit
and
transportation
opportunities,
so
at
our
our
meeting
jessica
did
say
that
it's
probably
unlikely
that
the
city
gets
selected
for
that
grant.
But
it's
a
really
cool
opportunity
and
the
city
has
already
put
some
really
creative
thought
into
applying
for
it.
So
fingers
crossed
that.
Maybe
we
do
get
that
money.
The
multimodal
transportation
commission
is
also
revisiting
the
city's
bike
share
plan
and
we
should
have
a
revised
draft
plan
of
that
coming
to
us
for
review
soon.
D
D
We're
continuing
to
or
multimodal
is
continuing
to
have
a
representative
at
the
table
with
city
staff
and
ncdot
to
meet
regarding
the
merriman
avenue.
D
Finding
ways
to
leverage
some
safety
improvements
and
multimodal
opportunities
along
that
corridor,
while
resurfacing
happens,
so
not
waiting
for
a
full
like
redesign
but
trying
to
take
advantage
of
some
things
that
are
happening
in
the
near
future
because
of
just
how
dangerous
that
corridor
is.
So
don't
have
much
more
to
update
you
on
that,
but
we
also
did
pass
a
motion
at
our
last
meeting
to
recommend
to
city
council
to
lower
the
default
speed
limit
in
the
city
to
25
miles
an
hour.
D
So
what
that
means
is
basically
that's
what
the
po
that's
what
the
speed
limit
is,
unless
you
go
through
a
process
like
usually
through,
like
an
engineering
speed
study,
to
determine
maybe
a
higher
speed
limit
based
on
the
the
type
of
road
that
it
is.
So
that's
just
one
tool
that
multimodal
has
has
thought
would
be
a
good
way
to
lower
speeds
and
make
streets
safer.
D
That's
that's
about
it.
We
have
our
next
meeting
two
days
from
now.
So
yes,
elizabeth,
I
see
your
hand
up.
J
Yes,
this
may
be
a
question
for
another
time
and
you
can
tell
me
if
one
of
you
can
explain
it
to
me
later,
but
the
close
the
gap
and
the
multimodal
commission
sound
like
they're,
addressing
the
same
thing,
what
it?
What
is
the
difference
there.
D
Sure
so
the
close
the
gap
plan
is
an
actual
planning
process
that
the
city
is
going
through
to
gain
feedback
from
the
public
and
also
engage
in.
You
know
best
planning
practices
to
develop
this
document.
That
will
be
a
blueprint
for
greenways
and
accessibility
and
the
pedestrian
network
for
years
to
come.
D
That
sort
of
thing
the
multimodal
transportation
commission
is
another
boards
and
committees
commission
entity
that
focuses
on
it's
all.
It
sounds
obvious,
but
on
multimodal
transportation,
so
you're
looking
at
pedestrian,
walking,
bicycling
transit,
how
we
can
come
together
as
a
committee
to
inform
city
staff
on
how
to
make
asheville
safer
for
all
users
of
the
transportation
network,
so
think
of
it.
D
Sort
of
in
very
oversimplified
terms,
you
know,
neighborhood
advisory
committee
is,
is
sort
of
advising
on
a
very
nebulous
concept
of
neighborhoods,
but
multimodal
is
advising
on
this
concept
of
transportation
and
how
to
make
it
safe
and
accessible
for
everyone
in
the
city
and
policies
related
and
projects.
So
knack
has
a
liaison
on
the
multimodal
transportation
commission.
D
J
M
Yes,
thank
you,
anna
wendy
hayner.
I
have
a
question
for
you
pertaining
to
multi-mode.
M
Is
it
possible
to
consider
putting
traffic
cameras
at
traffic
lights
since
we
have
such
a
decrease
in
police
force
and
with
the
traffic
speed
limits
going
to
be
at
25
miles
an
hour
that
does
not
work
very
well
even
on
kimberly
because
they
are
speeding
and
the
speed
limit
is
dropped
down
to
25..
D
Thank
you
wendy.
This
is
anna
again,
we
that
is
actually
something
that
has
come
up
in
conversation
quite
a
bit
on
multimodal,
and
I
think
right
now.
The
feedback
that
we've
gotten
from
the
city
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of.
D
You
could
the
city
could
be
legally
vulnerable
in
installing
traffic
cameras
for
speeding,
there's,
all
sorts
of
state
regulations
and
other
precedents
set.
So
we're
still
exploring
that
as
a
potential
option.
M
D
Right,
it's
in
a
different
state,
but
yeah
I'll.
You
know
I'll
look
back
in
previous
meeting
notes
and
see
what
I
can
find
for
you
about
conversations
that
we've
had
regarding
that
and
and
some
of
the
sort
of
sticking
points
as
to
why
we
might
not
be
ready
to
the
city
might
not
be
ready
to
to
go
that
route
all
right.
I
really
appreciate
you
all.
Staying
around
past
6
30.,
we
had
a
lot
of
really
good
information
and
a
lot
of
really
important
information
to
share
at
this
meeting.
D
So
that's
something
that
we
can
come
back
to,
but
I
think
for
september,
we're
hopefully
going
to
have
an
update
from
community
resource
officer
in
the
asheville
police
department
to
provide
a
reimagining
public
safety,
update,
we're
also
looking
at
getting
stat
city
staff
to
do
a
presentation
on
the
technical
review
committee
and
what
that
committee
does
and
how
knack
might
be
able
to
get
more
involved
with
that.
But
I'm
also
hearing
from
folks,
maybe
even
some
other
ideas
like
looking
at
traffic
calming
policies
or
the
city's
traffic
calming
policy.
D
Looking
at
how
neighborhoods
could
get
connected
with
the
transportation
department
to
address
traffic
calming
in
their
neighborhoods.
So
I'll
work
with
with
dolla
and
jeremy
over
the
next
month
or
so
to
finalize
our
next
meetings
agenda
and
want
to
go
ahead
and
wrap
this
one
up.
So
everyone
can
get
on
with
their
evenings
and
so
our
next
virtu
excuse
me.
Our
next
regular
meeting
is
scheduled
for
monday
september
27th
2021
and
it
will
remain
virtual
and,
as
always,
you
can
check
on
the
city's
engagement
hub
for
more
directions
on
how
to
participate.
D
And
so
I
will
now
adjourn
the
meeting
unless
we
have
any
objections,
all
right.
We
are
good
so
adjourned.
Thank
you
all
thank
you,
dawa
and
brenda
and
all
other
city
staff,
and
thank
you,
members
for
attending
and.
