All

I
Fantastic,
it's
good
to
see
everybody
this
evening
and
I'm
excited
to
to
turn
the
microphone
over
for
just
a
few
minutes
to
Christina
and
Meredith.
To
give
you
all
an
update
on
the
neighborhood
matching
Grant
awarde
celebration:
that's
scheduled
for
this
week.
It's
a
pretty
exciting
milestone
for
us
and
they've
been
working
really
hard
to
pull
together
a
great.
H
Celebration
yeah.
Well,
fortunately,
the
weather
looks
like
it's
going
to
cooperate,
which
we're
feeling
pretty
relieved
about,
and
We've
Got
7
fiveish
people
who
are
going
to
be
joining
us
from
neighborhoods
who
have
participated
in
the
neighborhood
matching
grants
program
since
2021,
and
so
we're
really
excited
and
a
couple
of
you
have
RSVP
Sandra
and
Elise
I.
Think
so.
Thanks
for
that
can't
wait
to
see
you
there
it'll
be
at
the
Shiloh
community
garden
and
give
some
more
time
to
Meredith.
To
give
you
some
more
details.
J
I
think
Christina
covered
it,
but
if
any
of
yall
are
interested
in
coming
but
haven't
you
know,
let
us
us
know
yet
please
do
so.
So
we
can
make
sure
there's
plenty
of
food
for
everybody,
but
yeah
we're
we're
very
excited
to
celebrate
with
everyone
and
if
you
do
come,
be
sure
to
check
in
at
check
in
with
Christina
and
I.
When
you
arrive,
because
we
have
a
a
little
bit
of
neighborhood
flare
to
hang
out
or
to
hand
out
so.
J
Yes,
Thursday
August
31st
5
to
7:30,
and
this
is
again
in
the
Shiloh
community
garden,
which
is
right
there
around
the
corner
from
the
community
center
on
Hampton
Street,
and
it
is
we're
we're
saying
it's
casual
and
you
can
drop
in
and
feel
free
to
leave
whenever.
But
we
are
going
to
do
some
remarks
right
at
around
6:00
pm
and
then
do
a
photo
op
right
after
that.
So
if
you
can
be
there
around
6,
that
might
be
an
exciting
time.
A
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
want
to
encourage
all
of
you
if
you
do
have
an
opportunity
to
go
to
attend.
Please
do
so.
It
is
exciting
time
for
people
that
didn't
receive
the
matching
grants
and
it
would
give
you
an
opportunity
to
see
another
Community.
That's
been
in
existence
for
a
long
time
and
there
established
with
their
Association
and
the
garden
is
fabulous,
and
there
is
it's
a
Walkin
Trail
and
it's
a
history.
I
I
Okay,
fantastic:
this
will
be
I'm
going
to
make
this
quick.
I
know:
we've
got
a
full
agenda
tonight
again.
My
name
is
dawa
hitch
and
I
have
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
the
communication
and
public
engagement
director
for
the
city
and
our
department
is
the
liaison
Tac
and
in
today's
presentation,
I'm
going
to
go
through
the
items
that
are
on
council's
Equity
council's
equity
and
engagement
committee.
I
So
hopefully,
if
I've
done
a
good
job,
then
you
all
will
have
some
ideas
or
maybe
inspiration
for
things
that
you
think
are
connected
to
neighborhoods
and
could
be
a
great
use
of
time
for
you
all
to
focus
on
as
a
priority
in
the
coming
year.
Again,
no
decisions
need
to
be
made
today.
This
is
just
a
preview
of
what
those
things
are
to
inform
you
and
hopefully
inspire
you
so
during
the
retreat
we
can-
or
you
all
can
move
through,
establishing
your
priorities,
a
little
quicker
all
right.
I
So
just
a
I'm
not
going
to
read
all
of
these.
Some
of
you
have
seen
this
slide
before,
but
these
are
Knack
powers
and
duties
just
as
a
level
setting
place,
as
as
you
think,
about
the
organizational
priorities
and
where
there
might
be
some
alignment,
so
some
of
that
has
to
do
with
rules
and
bylaws,
of
course,
and
then
there's
two
that
are
in
green
and
that's
to
one
is
to
develop
a
plan
to
strengthen
neighborhood
identity
and
resilience
and
to
facilitate
communication
and
cooperation
between
Asheville's,
neighborhoods
and
city
offices.
I
So
that
looks
different
every
year,
based
on
the
priorities
that
you
all
establish
during
your
retreat.
There's
some
other
standards
by
which
progress
towards
implementing
your
plan
can
be
measured
and
so
again
that's
part
of
the
retreat.
How
will
you
all
know
that
you've
been
successful,
providing
an
annual
report
to
council
each
year?
You
guys
have
a
great
rhythm
of
doing
that
and
then
certainly
helping
to
get
information
out
to
neighborhoods
about
the
city's
master
plan.
I
So
as
we
go
through
these
priorities,
you'll
see
that
there
are
a
number
of
Master
plans
and
there
may
be
some
that
you
think
are
maybe
more
impactful
to
neighborhoods
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
identified
those
so
as
we're
planning,
presentations
or
work
that
you
are
doing
or
engagement
throughout
the
year
that
that
Knack
has
a
voice
in
those
plans.
Andor
decisions
all
right,
so
City
council's
priorities
for
this
year
very
similar
to
those
from
last
year,
so
improving
and
expanding
cor
Services,
that's
kind
of
our
operations
right,
we're
city
government.
I
We
do
trash,
we
do
sidewalks.
We
do
some
streets,
not
all
streets,
police,
fire,
storm
water,
then
of
course
maintaining
our
buildings
and
and
our
employees
through
our
human
resources
function.
So
you'll
see
some
priorities
in
that
area:
houselessness
strategies,
Equitable
and
affordable
housing
and
stability
of
that
housing.
Here's
where
there
was
one
change
this
year,
and
that
was
the
addition
of
climate
to
the
neighborhood
resilience
item.
I
So
this
year
it's
neighborhood
and
climate
resilience
and
of
course
we
all
know
that
there's
a
there
are
inconnections
between
those
two
reimagining
Public
Safety
and
then
rep
reparations.
Those
are
council's
priorities.
So
here
again
you
don't
have
to
remember
all
of
these.
We
can
get
the
presentation
to
you
all,
so
you
can
reflect
back
on
that
between
now
and
the
next
meeting,
but
I
did
want
to
run
through
a
few
of
these.
I
So
these
are
some
items
that
are
coming
up
between
now
and
December,
with
City
council's
equity
and
engagement
committee,
strategic
partnership,
funding,
land
use
incentive
grants
and
the
Housing
Trust,
Fund
policy,
adjustments,
outdoor
dining
ordinance,
update
and
then
single
use,
plastic
reduction.
I
You
all
have
seen
some
of
you
have
seen
some
presentations
on
some
of
these,
such
as
the
single
use
plastic
reduction
project,
but
they
are
all
coming
to
a
point
where
they
will
be
asking
the
committee
to
make
some
recommendations
and
or
move
the
item
to
full
Council
all
right
now
we're
moving
to
the
organizational
work
plan.
So
these
are
the
priorities
that
City
departments
are
working
on
this
year
and
they're
broken
down
into
council's
priority
areas.
I
So
again
you
see
the
luig
and
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
policy
adjustments
there
under
Equitable
and
affordable
housing
and
stability
and
then
there's
a
missing
middle
housing
study.
That's
happening
as
well.
When
we're
talking
homelessness,
there
are
some
homelessness
recommendations
that
are
being
implemented,
they're
starting
they're
mapping
out
when
they're
going
to
occur.
Some
of
them,
of
course,
are
a
bit
long
in
nature
due
to
the
complexity
of
that
particular
Challenge,
and
that
challenge
being
homelessness,
then
establishing
permanent
Supportive
Housing
at
the
Rada.
So
there's
another
one
under
the
houselessness.
I
Strategies
now
we
got
a
big
list.
This
is
the
improved
and
expand
core
services.
So
again,
if
you
all
are
looking
at
this
through
the
lens
of
of
the
neighborhoods
and
what's
important
to
them,
some
of
these
certainly
had
they're
adjacent
to
a
neighborhood
or
it's
something
that
you
may
have
heard
the
neighborhoods
that
you
represent
comment
on
and
it's
those
kinds
of
things
that
we
might
want
to
dig
into
a
little
bit
more
at
your
retreat
n
month.
Mccor
mcfield
is
a
good
example
of
that
right.
I
We
know
it's
adjacent
to
a
neighborhood
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
any
engagement
or
updates
around
what's
happening
with
the
project
is
making
it
to
the
neighborhood,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we've
got
accurate
information
about
that
project
going
out
to
those
who
are
most
impacted,
improving
access
to
downtown
restrooms
we've
got
a
Citywide
maintenance
review,
so
those
are
all
of
the
city
buildings
that
that
need
maintenance.
Some
of
those
could
be
recreation,
centers
and
or
fire
stations
that
are
within
neighborhoods.
I
So
that
might
be
something
that
you
all
are
interested
in.
We're
doing
a
facility
assessment.
Those
two
things
have
some
connections:
Stevens
Lee
improvements
and
programming
enhancements.
Stevens
Lee,
if
you
don't
know,
is,
is
a
his
well
I.
Don't
want
to
use
the
wrong
word.
It
has
been.
It
has
a
lot
of
meaning
to
our
community
and
a
really
rich
and
beautiful
history.
It's
now
serving
as
a
recreation,
School,
a
recreation
center
and
at
one
point,
was
a
school
upgrades
to
Memorial
Stadium
in
Mountainside
Park
up
there.
I
So
that's
up
there
same
in
that
same
area
as
mccormic
field.
We're
updating
our
disparity
study
that
has
to
do
with
how
the
city
does
business
with
minority
business
owners
and
then
our
strategic
partnership
program
enhancements.
We
mentioned
that's
one-
that's
actually
coming
to
a
committee
here
before
December,
looking
at
improving
constituent
services.
So
if
you
call
the
city,
manager's
office
or
people
have
complaints,
how's
that
process
working
there's
some
software
that
our
development
services
department
is
working
on.
I
We
have
a
new
Equity
action
plan
that
the
entire
organization's
working
on
that's
being
led
by
our
equity
and
inclusion,
Department
compensation
and
accommodations
for
board
members.
So
not
sure
if
you
all
were
aware
that
that's
something!
That's
being
considered
trying
to
remove
some
of
those
barriers
to
being
able
to
partip
participate
in
boards
and
commissions
and
that's
being
led
by
our
city,
clerk's
office,
that
office
being
the
one
that
oversees
boards
and
commissions.
I
So
looking
at
a
2024,
General
obligation,
Bond
referenda,
so
working
on
what
that
could
look
like
a
benchmarking
project,
again
outdoor
dining
program
and
updates
a
community
cleanliness
program.
I
know:
that's.
We
hear
a
lot
about
that
from
different
neighborhoods
different
Geographic
areas
around
the
community
that
there's
concern
about
that.
So
continuing
the
work
that's
been
happening
in
that
area.
Next
still
under
improve
and
expand
core
Services,
we
have
the
integration
of
the
climate
Justice
initiative
and
and
integrating
that
into
our
city
operations.
I
We've
got
our
GL
our
Gap
plan
and
Ada
Implement
implementation.
That's
coming
out
of
our
transportation
department.
So
if
that's,
if
Transportation
getting
to
buses
bus,
shelter,
the
accessibility
of
them,
if
that's
something
that
is
of
interest
to
folks
that
live
in
your
neighborhood,
we
we
would
want
to
know
about
that
parking
garage
assessment.
The
art
place:
that's
our
transit
station,
so
that
project
and
then
developing
a
City,
County
Transit
master
plan.
The
advanced
metering
replacement
project
is
certainly
something
that
hits
neighborhoods
because
it
hits
every
single
water
meter.
I
That's
out
there
and
that's
happening
through
our
water
department.
I
can't
seems
like.
Maybe
we
had
a
presentation
on
that,
but
we
can
certainly
bring
them
back,
but
there
will
be
some
through
that
project.
There
will
be
some
improvements
made
so
that
you
can
actually
see
as
a
customer
what
your
use
is
and
keep
track
with
that
and
if
something
looks
wild
you
know
like
if
you
check
in-
and
it
looks
like
your
bills
gone
up
significantly,
then.
I
Hopefully
we
can
catch
that
sooner
than
later
and
you
can
work
through
that
with
the
water
department.
Of
course,
the
water
outage
independent,
Review
Committee,
if
you
have
been
tuned
in
you,
may
have
heard
that
they
came
up
with
a
number
of
recommendations
and
we're
working
on
implementing
all
of
those.
There
was
a
council
work
session
last
Tuesday
where
we
spent
a
couple
hours
talking
about
what
all
of
that
was
going
to
look
like.
I
So
if
you
haven't
been
tuned
into
that,
that
might
be
a
good
place
to
go
back
and
review
all
right.
So
now
we're
coming
to
some
studies.
We
got
a
lot
of
studies
that
are
happening.
Oops,
let's
see,
did
I
skip
anything.
H
I
Awareness,
that's
another
project
that
we'll
certainly
want
to
make
sure
our
whole.
Our
whole
Community
is
aware,
is
happening
all
right,
so
our
inclusive
and
accessible
government
project.
That
is
one
that
our
department
is
leading.
That's
the
hybrid
meetings,
the
community
engagement
academy,
our
language
accessibility.
I
So
we'll
continue
to
bring
presentations
to
the
committee
about
that,
and
then
you
all
have
heard
about
the
Emergency
Operations
plan
and
the
fire
departments
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
really
hearing
from
neighborhoods
so
that
we
can
plan
for
emergencies,
Parks
and
Recreation
doing
a
master
plan.
This
year
the
urban
forestry
master
plan
RFP
will
go
out
this
year,
pack
Square
Vision,
creating
that
pack
Square
Plaza
vision
is
slated
for
this
year.
I
The
downtown
Patton
Avenue
Corridor
study
happening
this
year,
South
Flo
Vision
plan,
Solid,
Waste
master
plan,
so
lots
of
plans
across
a
number
of
departments
and
then
moving
into
neighborhood
and
climate
resilience.
We've
got
the
municipal
climate
action
plan,
phase,
one
implementation
and
then
the
single
use
plastic
reduction
project
and
then
reimagining
Public
Safety.
We've
got
the
downtown
safety
initiative
and
Community
cleanliness
implementing
the
community
responder
program,
which
was
part
of
that
initiative
and
a
violence
disruptor
project.
I
So
if,
if
that's
something,
if
violence
is
something
that
is
a
concern
for
any
of
the
neighborhoods
that
you
serve
being
connected
to
that
project,
that's
being
headed
up
by
the
police
department
is
might
be
something
of
interest
to
you.
Reparations
we've
got
the
disposition
of
City
owned
land
associated
with
that
that's
a
project.
That's
happening
this
year,
there's
an
audit
and
recommendations
to
seize
further
harm.
I
So
we've
got
a
consultant
coming
in
to
do
a
audit
on
City
operations
and
where
there
might
be
harm,
that's
being
caused,
as
that
relates
to
the
reparations
commission's
work,
so
that
will
be
some
good
information
for
them
to
have
as
they
move
forward
with
their
recommendations
and
then,
of
course,
finalizing
the
reparation
commission's
recommendations.
So
that's
not
everything
that
we're
doing
I
didn't
include
all
of
the
things
that
are
internally
focused,
more
HR
oriented
it.
Maybe
some
of
the
finance
ones
that
don't
have
a
direct
link
to
what
you
all
are
doing.
I
I
thought.
Maybe
this
was
enough
to
start
with
it's
it's
a
lot
and
then
again
the
hope
is
that,
just
with
this
preview,
maybe
something
sparked
that
you'd
like
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about.
If
there
is
maybe
the
best
thing
to
do,
it
would
be
to
share
that
here
now.
I
If
you
want
a
process
and
something
comes
to
mind
in
the
next
couple
days,
the
next
week
you
can
always
email
us
and
then
we
can
make
sure
in
the
development
of
the
retreat
that
that
gets
put
in
into
the
agenda.
Anybody
have
any.
E
Questions
so
when
you
use
homelessness
and
then
you
have
houselessness,
you
have
to
speak
up
a
little
bit.
Oh
can
you?
Can
you
hear
me
now.
I
E
Well,
there's
something
about
Ramadan:
where
is
that.
I
So
that
is
over
e
stasheville
and
River.
Oh
wait,
Remada
am
I
getting
it
mixed
up,
riverid
or.
I
Behind
riveridge,
do
you
know
where
that
is
by
JS
cafeteria.
I
For
permanent
Supportive,
Housing,
yes
and,
and
that
is
that
is
underway-
there
is
a
the
city-
was
involved
in
initiating
that,
and
now
there
is
somebody
that
has
come
from
the
private
sector
and
they
are
they've,
got
a
whole
program,
they've
done
in
other
areas
of
the
country,
and
it
includes
some
wraparound
Services
as
well
as
shelter
and
and
if
you
all
are
interested
in
that
we
have
there
are.
I
There
are
some
apartments
in
and
around
that
area
and
then,
of
course,
that
big
shopping
center
on
the
backside
and
like
where
Walmart-
and
all
of
that
is
so,
if
you
all
think
that
that's
something
that
you'd
like
to
stay
informed
on
and
or
share
information.
That's
certainly
something
we
can
include
the
retreat.
E
I
There
are
some
nuances
between
the
those
two
definitions
and
to
to
do
it,
justice
we
we
should
have
somebody
from
our
community
and
economic
development
department
speak
to
that
specifically,
but
in
general
I
think.
The
idea
is
that
you
can
have
a
home
without
having
a
house,
and
there
are
some
people
who
prefer
not
to
have
a
house.
That's
the
lifestyle
that
they
choose
so
being
I.
I
Think
very
intentional
about
strategies
in
that
particular
area
are
working
towards
folks
that
want
to
be
in
housing,
and
maybe
the
homelessness
is
a
broader
perspective
on
whether
or
not
people
are
having
their
basic
needs
met.
I
Right,
so
if
it's
in
that
houselessness
realm,
the
strategies
are
probably
going
to
be
more
focused
on
actually
actually
shelter
and
and
not
as
focused
on
people
who
choose
to
travel
and
and
stay
in
certain
places
for
a
while,
knowing
that
there
can
be
services
that
are
needed
in
that
population
as
well,
so
that
would
be
part
of
a
broader
Str,
it's
not
quite
as
specific
as
working
towards
housing.
All
right.
Thank
you.
B
I
H
I
Okay,
yeah,
we
can
certainly
find
out-
and
let
you
all
know
and
and
if
you
all
didn't,
know
Christina
with
all
the
other
things
that
she
does.
She
is
also
our
Department's
liaison
to
the
Comm
community
and
economic
development
department,
which
all
of
that
sits
in
so
she
she's
got
a
lot
of
great
experience
and
knowledge
in
that
area
as
well.
Okay,
anything
else
with
all
of
those
priorities.
A
I
just
wanted
to
just
figure
back
on
what
you
said
about
the
difference
in
homelessness
and
houseless
homeless
are
people
that
sometimes
prefer
to
live
out,
but
you
have
people
that
are
houseless
that
they
want
to
have
a
house.
They
want
to
move
in
somewhere.
But
when
you
look
at
in
housing,
the
waiting
list
to
get
even
get
into
housing
is
they'll.
Tell
you.
They've
got
4
500
people,
so
it's
by
some
people
don't
have
choice
and
they
can't
afford
to
live
in
an
apartment
because
they
don't
make
that
much
money.
A
So
I
think
that
was
why
they
were
trying
to
make
a
difference
in
what
those
two
different
programs
were,
the
homeless.
They
will
have
from
what
I
understand.
I
may,
if
I'm
wrong,
tell
me,
but
from
the
meetings
that
I've
been
in
the
homeless
situation
and
the
crisis
with
the
Romana
in
and
what
they
want
to
do.
They're
going
to
actually
open
up
and
they've
talked
about
the
strategy
of
how
many
people
they'll
bring
in
who
they'll
bring
in
there'll,
be
of
service.
A
So
that
would
be
the
homelessness
of
people
that
really
just
they
need
that
those
resources
and
they
may
have
health-
and
you
know,
Health
Care
stuff
inside
of
that
place,
people
that
you
have
people
out
there
that
don't
have
a
place
to
go
because
they
can't
afford
to
go
anywhere
and
so
you've
got
families,
I've
heard
more
of
families
living
in
cars
with
their
kids,
and
so
that
presents
a
whole
another.
So
I
think
that's
I,
believe
that's
why
they're
trying
to
separate
the
two,
so
they
won't
all
be
into
the
same
kind
of
circumstances.
E
Yeah
it
it
does
I.
You
know,
because
I
I
just
want
to
know
the
one
that's
dealing
with
shortages
and
affordability,
but
they
really
want
a
place,
because
there
are
programs
that
caters
to
families
like
that.
You
know
they
want
them
to
have
a
place,
but
and
they
want
to
move
into
a
place,
but
they
just
can't
afford
it
or
they
can't
find
a
place.
That's.
E
H
K
I
You
all
right!
Well,
if
there
are
no
other
questions
again,
if
there's
something
that
Sparks
that
you'd
like
to
have
more
information
about
for
the
retreat.
Just
let
us
know
you
could
send
us
a
email.
The
best
email
isn't
a
which
what
is
the
best
email
they
have
ideas
to
send
for
the
retreat.
I
A
I
That's
fine
all
right,
fantastic
appreciate
you
all
I'll
leave
the
if
it
stays
up.
I'll
I
I'll
just
leave
council's
priorities.
That's
always
a
good
reminder
of
kind
of
our
guiding
principles
for
for
all
of
us,
our
committees
and
our
our
staff.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Let's
move
on
to
new
business
now
this
part
about
the
annual
Retreat
meeting.
I,
don't
know
who's
on
that
committee,
for
the
did
we
have.
Did
we
do
a
working
group
for
the?
No?
We
didn't.
We
are
the
working
group.
Aren't
we.
A
So
you
do
see
the
points
that
we
have
to
talk
about:
the
bylaws
review,
the
election
of
officers,
review
of
terms
and
the
additional
Logistics
the
bylaws
review
is
only
for
it's.
Your
information
I
would
advise
you
to
look
over
that
if
you
have
that
information
before
we
come
into
the
meeting,
so
you'll
know
a
lot
of
people,
don't
read
the
bylaws
and
what
they
State
does
everyone
have
a
copy
of
the
bylaws?
That's
what
I
need
to
know.
First,
you
don't.
D
A
H
A
And
I
I
wasn't
going
to
love
that
book
around
everywhere,
so
you
know,
but
you
have
to
look
up
some
stuff
and
then
we'll
have
the
election
of
officers.
That's
part
of
the
bylaws.
If
you
look
into
that
and
the
review
of
terms
so
I'm
I'm,
assuming
that
we
will
have
that
list
of
the
terms
at
The,
Retreat.
A
When
your
term
is
up
and
if
you
can
serve
another
term
and
how
we
move
forward
from
that,
we'll
have
that
I
kind
of
want
to
ask
about
the
areas.
A
Where
do
we
have
a
new
updated
list
even
online
of
the
neighborhoods
and
who
are
the
the
presidents
and
the
possible
the
liaison
of
each
community?
So
these
people,
because,
if
you're
at
large,
if
you're,
if
you're
at
large,
that
means
that
you
cover
territory
that
might
be
outside
of
exactly
where
you
live,
so
you
need
to
contact
some
people
that
are
or
maybe
not
have
one
or
maybe
they.
A
If
you
live
in
a
a
community
where
there's
a
subdivision,
they
may
have
a
HOA
and
if
you're
at
large,
then
maybe
you
can
get
involved
with
their
HOA
and
maybe
give
a
kind
of
give
us
an
idea
of
what
they
may
be
thinking
or
they
may
have
questions,
because
what
we
do
is
we
ask,
go
to
their
meetings.
We
ask
them
for
input,
bring
it
back
here,
knowing
that
we
can
only
give
recommendations
to
the
city
council,
but
everybody's
voice
is
important.
We
represent
the
neighborhood,
that's
what
we
represent.
A
H
Yeah,
so
the
the
list
that
we
keep
on
our
neighborhood
services
page
is
updated
as
we
receive
updates
from
the
community.
So
what
you
see
is
what
you
get
as
far
as
that's
the
information
that
we
have
and
I
was
thinking
it
do
you.
Maybe
it
would
be
helpful
if
we
just
did
a
little
demo
and
pulled
the
page
up
on
the
screen
and
showed
people
where
to
go
and
how
to
pull
up
the
tab,
and
you
know,
use
the.
C
C
A
K
A
J
A
So
what
you
would
do
being
at
large
and
you
live
in
Oakland,
you
have
a
broad
space
of
Fair,
View
and
all
up
in
that
area
of
Oak.
So
it
would
be
more
than
just
going
to
the
Oakley
association
with
all
those
outline
areas,
hard
Creek,
wouldn't
that
be
some
parts
of
that.
Yes,.
H
A
That
did
you
bring
that
up
and
we
work
that
way,
because
then
we
need
to
reach
the
communities
because
it
looks
like
the
city
and
their
priorities
for
the
next
10
or
maybe
20
years
is
what
they
can
do
with
neighborhoods,
because
I've
I've
noticed
that
this
Missing
middle
housing
study
don't
sleep
on
that,
because
the
missing
hous,
the
Missing
me
missing,
M
middle
housing
study
is
about
how
they
can
reduce
how
much
land
you
have
to
put
up
more
houses
and
they're
saying
for
people
and
it's
not
exactly
affordable
for
everybody
from
what
I
understand
am
I,
correct,
I,
don't
know.
A
H
Happy
to
chat
about
it,
so
it's
complicated
and
we're
we're
still
in
the
drafting
of
the
the
recommendations
working
with
the
consultant
who's.
Helping
us
to
do
that
so
middle
housing
by
definition,
is
everything:
that's
not
single
family
housing
and
that's
not
a
big
apartment,
complex,
so
duplexes,
triplexes,
Cottage
courts,
quad
plexes
town
homes
and
our
city
already
has
this
type
of
housing.
All
most
cities
already
have
this
type
of
housing.
In
them
they
were
more
popular
forms
of
housing
that
were
built
in
Prior
decades.
H
They
fell
out
of
favor
in
recent
decades,
when
Developers,
when
most
most
people
decided
that
they
wanted
to
live
in
a
single
family
dwelling,
but
that
has
not
become
attainable
for
everville,
we
have
an
affordability
crisis,
we
have
a
homelessness
crisis.
All
of
these
things
are
tied
together,
and
so
what
the
missing
middle
study
is
proposing
is
that
these
middle
type,
typologies
of
housing
can
be
more
accessible
for
working
professionals,
who
aren't
ready
yet
to
buy
a
home
for
people
who
are
retiring
and
want
to
downsize.
H
A
H
A
So
with
that
being
said,
that's
why
it's
important
that
we
reach
out
to
neighborhoods
to
ask
them
what
they
like
or
what
they
or
explain
it
the
process
to
them,
because
they
may
not
get
that
information
because
they're,
not
at
city,
council
and
they're,
not
online,
because
the
problem
is
may
may
not
hit
your
neighborhood
but
smaller
neighborhoods.
Where
there
is
land
they
can
develop,
they
will
bring
in
those
things
and
some
neighborhoods
don't
want
that
because
it's
enough
of
it.
F
Yeah,
that's
what
we're
struggling
with
in
Beaver
Dam
the
area
and
like
a
lot
of
other
cities.
Asheville
is
building
building
building
building,
but
the
core
Services
can't
keep
up,
and
so
in
beaverdam.
Our
core
services
are
looking
pretty
bad,
but
they
want
to
build
because
we
have
land,
and
so
they
want
to
add
more
cars.
They
want
to
do
things
and
we
don't
have
side
walks
or
we
don't
even
have
shoulders
on
Beaver
Dam
Road
much
less
other
things.
F
A
So
that
would
be
something
that
maybe
that
you
could
take
back
to
your
neighborhoods
and
of
a
a
discussion
because
I
know-
and
my
neighborhood
is
very
concerned
because
we're
small
and
we
are
a
neighborhood,
but
there
are
some
areas
and
some
Pockets
where
developers
want
to
come
in
and
they
want
to
change
the
zoning
from
residential
they
you
because
of
the
process
we
that
we
didn't
know
about.
They
want
to
change
it
and
they
want
to
bring
in
all
these
these
multi
units
either
Apartments
tow
houses
or
whatever
into
the
neighborhood.
A
A
Okay,
I
didn't
go
too
far,
did
I
with
my
opinion,
I
try
to
try
to
I
try
to
do
well
with
my
opinions,
but
you
know
okay,
so,
let's
go
on
to
unfinished
business.
If
do
you
have
anything
else
before
we
move
on?
Is
there
anything
else
that
you
want
to
discuss
other
than
these
four
points
for
to
put
on
the
agenda?
For
the
retreat.
F
September
I
I
would
think
it
would
be
very
interesting
being
a
newbie
to
hear
from
the
different
ref
Representatives
about
their
neighborhoods.
You
know
if
we
have
that
opportunity.
Well,
what
is
your
neighborhood
struggling
with?
What
are
your
priorities?
What
are
you
seeing?
That
would
be
real,
interesting
to
kind
of
have
a
general
sense
of
that.
A
C
Getting
a
lot
of
stuff
done
and
a
lot
of
people
are
working
on
this,
so
I'm
going
to
give
kind
of
an
overview
of
where
we
are
do
a
couple
of
asks,
and
then
anybody
that
is
part
of
the
Planning
Group.
That
wants
to
jump
in
and
say,
Here's
a
piece
because
I'm
not
going
through
all
the
details
can
do
that.
So
we
have
had
Planning
Group
meetings
every
two
to
three
weeks.
Our
next.
C
September
6
I
think
September
6.
Next
Wednesday
we've
been
meeting
at
the
Wesley
Grant
center
right
now,
as
of
today,
people
that
have
submitted
things
that
we
know
of
that
have
confirmed.
We
have
11
neighborhood
associations,
we
have
eight
either
nonprofits
or
other
organizations
and
I
I'll.
To
tell
you
what
all
these
are.
We
have
seven
to
eight
we're
not
sure
yet
City.
C
And
offices
we've
got
at
least
one
food
truck.
Did
we
get
got
the
second
one
daddy
D's
right
is?
Is.
K
C
Right,
we've
got
a
DJ,
we
think
for
an
hour
and
a
half
and
also
another
band,
a
couple
of
bands
that
we're
exploring
we're
running
into
funding.
Obviously,
because
most
bands
want
to
be
paid
so
we're
still
reaching
out
to
some
we've
got
Regis
succeed,
Candace
Pickin,
Park,
women's
osteopathic,
Wellness,
bunan,
County
property,
assessor
ashalon,
bikes,
human
RHA,
who's
going
to
talk
about
the
Mental
Health
crisis
resources
in
town
Mission
HCA
wants
to
have
a
free
coffee,
come
by
and
say
hello
to
go.
F
C
With
our
food
trucks,
neighborhoods
we've
got
Parkway
Forest,
Shiloh,
Southside,
eastn,
Valley
Montford
Kenworth
be
Valley
a
West
Asheville
kind
of
conglomeration
that
are
joining
together,
the
Coalition
of
Asheville
neighborhoods
and
then
some
of
the
historic
neighborhoods
abam,
bmore,
Village
and
St
Dunston's
I
think
we're
going
to
pull
together
to
have
one
oakle
we're
going
to
have
Asheville.
C
Fire
Department
Public,
Works
parks
and
wreck
boards
and
commissions
table
Water,
Services,
and
so
we're
Al
have
reached
out
to
in
hoping
that
people
will
submit
something
talking
to
Greenworks
and
either
feasts
or
Bountiful
cities
or
food
insecurity
issues,
Mountain
true
aipa
and
a
couple
of
other
neighborhood
associations
that
aren't
sort
of
that.
We
need
more
representation
from
those
areas.
So.
C
In
a
month
a
month
from
now
September
30th,
we're
also
wonder:
do
you
want
to
talk
about
sponsors.
G
Yeah
so
it
looks
like
we
have
a
so
I
talked
to
the
tourist
and
they
want
to
provide
50
goodie
bags
for
the
event,
not
exactly
sure,
what's
going
in
those
goodie
bags,
so
my
Chris
had
made
the
introduction
to
Brian
dwine,
and
then
he
connected
me
with
Alyssa
who's,
organizing,
all
of
that
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
big
those
goodie
bags
are
going
to
be
because
we
are
going
to
be
responsible
for
transporting
them
and
if
it
makes
sense
to
pick
them
up
ahead
of
time
so
that
we
have
them
for
the
event
or
coordinate
getting
them
like
the
morning
of
the
event.
G
So
that's
great,
a
couple
of
the
other
volunteers
have
been
working
on
getting
gift
certificates
from
some
of
the
other
local
businesses.
So
in
Victoria
she
got
like
from
Skylands.
She
was
talking
to.
Who
was
the
other
one.
I
know
she
spoke
to
B
Depot,
and
then
it
was
she's.
The
one
also
talking
Mountain
true
about
having
the
water.
There
was
one
I
can't
12,
Bones
I
think
it's.
G
The
the
restaurant,
so
we
were
planning
on
doing
with
the
kind
of
sponsorship
since
we
can't
take
cash
donations,
is
a
combination
of
for
the
people
who
are
attending
because
Bob.
We
really
liked
your
idea
about
having
kind
of
a
like
a
passport
for
people
to
stamp
so
that
you
can
see
how
many
different
booths
you
actually
interacted
with,
and
so
maybe,
if
you
have
like
10
or
more
stamps
you're
eligible
for
a
raffle
to
get
some
of
these
gift
certificates.
G
Like
that
and
then
maybe
for
people
who
got
their
whole
card
stamped,
then
it's
going
to
be
a
higher
value
gift
and
then
whatever
is
kind
of
left
over.
We
also
want
to
offer
to
the
volunteers
which
we
are
going
to
start
that
reach
out
again
this
week
we
need
about
15
to
20
volunteers
and
once
I
have
that
sign
up
form
up
and
running.
G
I
will
send
that
to
everybody
in
the
community,
so
we
can
start
asking
everybody
to
help
us
out,
even
if
they
don't
have
a
booth,
so
I
think
that's,
that's
all
I
have
in
terms
of
sponsorships.
G
We
have
a
so
the
city
of
Asheville,
it's
on
the
Facebook
page
for
them,
and
they
also
have
a
next
door
event
link
which
we
can
send
out
to
everybody.
After
the
meeting.
It's
September
30th
10
to
4:
at
the
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr
Park,
and
it's
a
free
event.
G
C
So
we've
also
got
his
Flyers.
Our
work
group
and
you've
got
a
whole
stack
to.
C
Leave
tonight
without
a
few
Flyers
put
them
up
in
your
your
grocery
stores,
your
librar,
your
community
centers
couple
going
around
there
and.
C
Has
I've
put
several
around
town
yeah,
it's
really
colorful
Mar
did
an
amazing
job
with
that.
K
C
Aes
and
so
our
Committee
Member
participation,
our
ask
is
that
you
plan
to
be
there.
This
is
our
sponsored
activity,
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
and
part
of
that
volunteer
list,
we're
hoping
that
you
will
be
able
to
sign
up
for
too.
So
we
need
set
set
up
people.
The
event
is
from
10:00
to
4:,
but
we're
going
to
start
getting
there.
I,
don't
know!
That's
the
time
we
said
8
8:30
8:30
to
we
need
people
to
help
vendors
come
in
and
unload
Asheville
City
schools
has
confirmed
right
that
we
can.
C
The
vendors
can
use
their
parking
lot
so
that
they'll
come
in
drop
off
their
stuff
and
go
park
and
come
back
so
they
won't
take
up
the
parking
spaces.
We
need
setup,
we
need
cleanup,
we
need
volunteers
for
the
bouncy
house.
We
need
some
floaters
just
to
walk
around
and
help.
So
if
everybody
will
think
about
a
couple
of
hours,
two
to
three
hours,
May
a
shift
it,
you
could
sign
up
for
something
we're
going
to
get
that
sign
up
sheet
out
pretty
quickly.
J
I
I
don't
have
much
to
add
I
I,
don't
know.
If
you
mentioned,
we
will
definitely
have
an
inflatable
for
kids
and
some
of
the
Departments
bringing
some
fun
fun
ideas
to
the
table
so
that
it
won't
just
be.
You
know,
City
booths
kind
of
boring,
but.
J
Works
department,
I,
think,
is
going
to
bring
a
snowplow
because
they
want
the
community
to
name
their
snowplow,
so
they're,
going
to
let
people
like
submit
names
and
then
it'll
be
like
a
logo
for
the
snow,
plow
Fleet,
so
that'll
be
fun
and
the
fire
department
might
actually
bring
a
truck
too
as
long
as
it's
not
rainy,
leading
up
to
the
events.
So
the
field.
J
Stays
all
right
and
yeah.
The
the
committee
that
has
come
together
has
been
great
I
just
want
to
shout
out
to
Sam
quick
at
home,
who
has
just
been
out
there.
You
know
he
he
really
got
Daddy
DS
for
us
and
he's
also
just
putting
Flyers
everywhere
and
really
helping
us
coordinate
things
I'm,
just
really
for
for
the
rest
of
the
committee's
info,
I'm,
just
really
kind
of
working
on
the
logistics
stuff.
From
the
back
end
and
and
playing
that
role
and
I,
we
got
one
month
to
go.
C
Yeah
so
look
for
more
we'll
figure
out
some
more
marketing
and
advertising,
but
not
only
am
I
going
to
ask
that
everybody
commit
to
a
two
or
three.
C
C
People
that
just
don't
know
that
neck
exist
does
don't
know
that
if
they're
even
living
in
an
area
with
a
neighborhood
association,
so
just
do
a
little
bit
of
research
jump
in
and
we
excited
so
farun
did.
G
C
And
if
anybody
has
contacts
with
other
vendors
in
the
area
that
you
think
might
have
door
prizes
or
or
something
to
donate,
that
you
have
a
relationship
with,
we
also
have
a
vendor
or
a
sponsor
form
that
just
sort
of
gives
you
like
how
we
we
will
them.
They
could
put
a
banner
up
the
thing
at
the
around
the
fence.
We
will.
Somebody
will
be
at
the
mic
and
thank
all
of
our
sponsors
at
some
point
during
the
day.
What
else
anything
else
we're
doing
for
our
sponsors.
G
G
J
Yeah
and
I've
talked
to
him
about
that
since
and
we
haven't
confirmed
that
group,
but
he
is
talking
with
them,
so
we
may
you
know
if
anybody
has
like
a
strong
connection
with
a
food
truck.
We
may
want
some
other
options
kind
of
on
hand
and
we're
getting
close
to
the
date.
A
Some
I'll
I'll
send
it
to
you
some
another
one.
I
know
he
does.
He
has
a
food
truck,
but
he
does
hot
dogs
too.
On
his
with
his
food
truck
and
it's
U,
it's
really
good.
I'll
get
the
information
to
you.
E
K
E
Electronic
version
of
this
flyer,
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
a
a
place
where
people
can
just
link
right
away,
maybe
a
QR
code
or
a
link
to
where
they
can
register
a
register
for.
F
C
H
C
Have
a
a
little
a
wiggle
room
to
add
a
couple
more
based
on
some
of
the
people.
We've
got
Outreach
to
now.
So,
okay,
there
was
the
biggest
obstacle
right
now,
just
in
terms
of
we've
checked
a
bunch
of
places.
So
if
anyone
has
any
ideas
are
tables
and
chairs,
we
have
run
down
a
couple
of
leads
about
getting
tables
and
chairs,
so
people
can
have
some
place
to
sit
down
and
rest
and
eat.
We
do
have
bleachers.
J
I
think
I
do
have
a
little
update
on
that
sorry.
First
off
I
was
at
the
community
Heritage
Festival
this
weekend
and
like
taking
pictures
and
getting
ideas
of
how
y'all
were
setting
up
there
and
or
they
were
setting
up
there.
So
yes,
that
I
I
do
feel
like
that
statement
is
even
more
accurate,
that
we
have
some
space
to
work
with,
but
for
tables
and
chairs.
Parks
and
Rec
does
have
like
a
trailer
and
they
will
be
there.
We
have
reserved
the
trailer
with
tables.
K
J
K
A
G
K
G
C
Yeah,
that's
right,
I'm,
remembering
that
that
was
part
of
that
we
didn't
want
to
counter
the
ash
city
of
Asheville
sustainability
tote
bags
and
that
whole
thing
with
handing
out
a
bunch
of
plastic
water
bottles.
So
we
were
thinking
about.
We
were
brainstorming,
other
options
and
if
Mountain
true,
are
they
thinking
about
providing
like.
G
The
big
water
coolers
paper
cup
conversation
with
them
plastic
water
bottles,
but
regardless
we
will
have
water,
whether
it's
plastic,
water
bottles
or
not
for
both.
So
that
way,
nobody
gets
thirsty.
K
K
A
Use
the
restrooms
at
MLK
has
restrooms
at
their
concessions
where
their
concession
stand
is.
Have
you
ever
been
there.
A
The
people
at
the
festival,
Saturday
yeah
it
it
it
works,
it
works
and
they
use
they
keep
it
clean.
If
you've
never
been
there,
they
have
a
whole
like
a
concession.
It's
like
a
concession
stand
and
if
we
need
be
St,
James
Church,
that's
right
up,
that's
right
up
there.
They
use
that
and
they
have
of
U.
They
sell
fish
dinners.
A
If,
if
that's
an
option
that
you
want
to
do
because
they've
done,
they
were
at
the
they
were
at
the
Heritage,
they
were
at
the
festival,
Saturday
weren't
they
St
James
and
Mount
Zion.
So
you
know
we
can
incorporate
churches
well,
St
James
does
they,
they
have
fish
dinners
and
they
s
them
so
I,
that's
an
option,
and
but
I
think
that
probably
might
be
something
to
consider.
I
can
ask
I'll,
ask
Renee,
White
and
I'll
get
back
with
you,
because
she
is
the
president
of
the
association
for
eastn.
F
D
C
So
it's
been
great
to
have
people
report
back
and
say:
I
call
these
three
places,
and
this
one
said.
Yes,
she
said
man
and
Trader
Jo's.
Okay,
thank.
A
You
all
doing
a
great
you
all
have
pulled
together
and
work.
A
working
group
like
a
working
group
is
supposed
to
work
together
and
it
shows
it
takes
everyone
working
together
to
formulate
what
you
have
put
together
for
this
event
and
I
think
I'm
excited
I'll,
be
there
hope,
so
thank
you.
I
will
be
there.
A
And
I
I
do
appreciate
everyone,
that's
here
and
I'm
glad
that
we
have
people
that
are
giving
input,
not
just
s
sitting
here,
we're
all
important.
We
all
represent
our
neighborhoods
and
it's
good
that
we're
here
and
we
have
a
voice,
and
then
we
can
make
things
that
neighborhoods
we're
looking.
This
working
group
has
looked
at
the
people
and
what
they
would
want
for
a
festival
and
come
up
with
ideas
to
make
this
work
and
they
couldn't
work
bre.
A
It
work
without
thinking
about
the
people
that
serve,
and
that
makes
it
different,
and
that
makes
it
exciting
so
I
am
I,
am
very
excited
about
this.
I
won't
dance,
but
I
will
be
very
excited
about
this
I'll
bring
my
grandson
and
let
him
dance
a
little
bit.
You
know
cuz
he
likes
to
do
that.
So,
if
there
was
I
could
probably
get
my
son
to
do
some
work
with
volunteer
with
the
bouncy
house
and
and
maybe
when
we
were
going
to
do
this
before
the
co.
A
K
A
A
Let's
go
on
to
the
members
member
information
sharing
participation
at
least
I.
Understand
that
you
on
the
multimodal
transportation
you
on
that
committee.
Also,
yes,
ma'am!
So
I
want
to
tell
people
you
on
this
Comm
committee.
You
can
get
on
other
committees,
you
can
at
least
I
would
say
you
can
at
least
do
one
and
you
can
report
back
on
what
you've
discovered
or
what
you've
learned
or
what
you
want
to
bring
back
or
what
you
want
to
take
from
us
to
them.
So
mindful
of
that.
D
Okay,
so
the
multimodal
Transportation
Commission
we
met
last
Wednesday,
we
heard
some
public
comment
surrounding
the
city's
traffic
calming
policy
which
I
know
a
lot
of
the
neighborhoods
are
often
concerned
with
speed
in
their
neighborhood
and
as
a
result
of
this
person's
email,
the
commission
will
be
bringing
more
discussion
about
the
city's
traffic
calming
policy
and
the
lack
of
transparency
in
in
where
certain
areas
are
in
the
process.
D
So
we'll
be
talking
more
about
that
in
the
coming
months
and
potentially
offering
some
recommendations
for
updating
the
traffic
caling
policy,
which
I
believe
the
the
commenter
said
was
last
updated
in
2004.
It
was
a
while
ago,
so
that'll
be
a
topic
coming
back
up
for
us
over
the
next
few
months,
we
also
introduced
a
new
member
Mike
zukoski
to
our
commission
and
reviewed
two
different
proposed
RightWay
closures,
one
of
which
is
an
unopened
RightWay
between
Sulfur
Springs,
Road
and
Lane
Avenue.
D
This
is
right
around
the
elementary
school.
That's
down
near
Sulfur
Springs.
Is
that
Lucy
Herring
you're
nodding
like
you?
It
is
okay,
I
thought!
That's
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that.
Right
of
way,
closure
and
the
committee
wasn't
able
to
make
a
recommendation
at
this
time,
but
that
does
involve
a
neighborhood
area.
D
D
Yes,
so
from
what
I
understand
back
when
pandemic
hit
the
city
kind
of
made,
some
temporary
changes
to
allow
downtown
restaurants
to
move
into
the
sidewalk
move
into
parking
spaces
and
form
these
Street
Aries
or
sidewalk
dining.
And
there
was
a
fee.
You
know
the
the
the
restaurant
owners
had
to
pay
some
sort
of
fee
in
exchange
for
using
the
public
space.
D
For
this
private
reason,
and
so
now
that
you
know
the
that
policy
went
in
during
pandemic,
now
they're
taking
some
time
to
review
that
policy,
update
some
fee
structures
and
will
present
a
new
recommendation
for
updating
policy
for
city
council
to
to
adopt.
E
I,
don't
have
a
question:
I
have
a
comment.
I'm
just
wondering
I
talked
about
this
like
a
while
ago.
Like
is
this
committee
or
the
city
considering
Trum,
you
know
something
that
we
connect
from
from
the
mall
like
from
the
mall
and
then
bring
people
to
to
down
time.
E
Way
they
can
park
their
car.
You
have
ample
parking,
especially
that
you
have
U
this
company,
that
just
went
out
of
business
b.
U
Bed,
Bath
and
Beyond.
That's
another
great
location!
You
know
to
just
have
something
around
that
area
where
people
can
just
take
a
TR
and
come
to
the
city.
I
think
that
will
elevate
a
lot
of
parking
issues
and
traffic.
So.
B
I
can
that
so
that
is
in
the
transportation
plan
that
was
adopted
before
co.
Unfortunately,
it's
not
been
funded
and
it's
going
to
be
a
circulator
there's
been
a
couple
different
proposals
that
connect
the
mall
open
east
east
as
to
downtown.
K
E
That's
good
yeah
because
the
last
time
I
you
know
that
it
came
up
I.
You
know
I,
believe
the
mayor
said
that
they
were
working
on
that
Valley
and
Charlotte
has
to
go
before
us,
so
by
Time,
Flies
Charlotte
already
have
their
own
and
I
think
Ries
already
have
there.
So
it's
our
turn.
B
Well,
it's
been
requested,
particularly
by
downtown
by
both
d
Ada,
to
alleviate
the
parking
situation
to
get
people.
You
know
moving
around
downtown,
more
and
connect
to
the
east
and
west.
B
On
the
in
the
works,
let's
say
that
there's
not
really
a
time.
K
D
I
And
if
I
could
jump
in
quickly,
it's
a
great
point
and
we
saw
when
we're
looking
at
all
the
projects
that
are
organizational
work
plan
items
this
coming
year.
How
many
Master
plans
there
are
so
I
I
would
really
appreciate
that
the
connection
between
all
of
the
plans
we
have
and
then
the
funding
to
implement
all
the
many
ideas,
ideas
that
are
in
all
of
those
plans.
I
It
is
something
that
is
considered
on
an
annual
basis
longer
if
it's
in
our
Capital
Improvement
program,
our
CIP
plan,
and
it
I'll
just
say
it's
very
helpful.
If
you
all
have
information
that
you're
hearing
in
neighborhoods
about
things
that
would
be
very
helpful.
We're
we're
working
to
staff
is
working
to
better
capture
those
and
hold
a
c
a
historical
record
of
what
they
are,
so
that
those
can
be
reflected
upon
each
year
in
the
annual
budget
process.
I
So
when
you
hear
those
things
do
make
sure
that
you
share
or
that
we
capture
them.
Somehow,
maybe
it's
in
the
minutes
of
this
meeting,
or
maybe
it's
something
you
talk
more
in
depth
about
at
your
retreat,
but
all
of
that
information
can
then
be
provided
as
the
annual
budget
process
works
as
we
work
through
that
process,
and
and
it
start
you
know-
we
just
adopted
one
in
June,
but
we're
already
beginning
the
conversations,
especially
around
CIP
for
the
coming
the
coming
years.
So
where
there's
momentum
is,
is
an
important
element
to
that.
I
So
just
encourage
you
to
share
that.
So
thanks
Elise
for
sharing
that
and
we're
we're
listening
and
budget
season
will
be
here
before
we
know
it.
C
The
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
think
about
the
connection
join
a
committee
like
the
multimodal
Transportation
Commission
and
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee,
because
one
of
the
things
that
I
kind
of
hear
over
and
over
again
collectively,
not
just
in
my
neighborhood
but
from
people
across
the
city-
are
they'd
rather
stay
home
in
their
neighborhoods
than
go
into
downtown
Asheville.
Because
of
all
the
parking
spaces
that
have
been
taken.
C
Know
we're
trying
to
support
small
businesses
and
restaurants
during
Co,
but
now
that
our,
if
people
are
back
on
their
feet,
there
there's
a
general
sense
from
a
lot
of
people
that
I
hear
from
that.
You
know
well,
Downtown
Ashville
is
just
for
the
tourist,
it's
not
for
residents
anymore
and
I.
Think
that
you.
B
So
I
have
a
comment
about
that.
So
living
downtown
I
hear
that
comment.
All
the
time
is:
oh
I
never
go
downtown
anymore,
because
I
can't
find
a
parking,
so
I
just
did
a
a
poll
using
the
Ashville
app,
which
I
hope
you're
all
aware
of
you're
using
so
anyway.
B
At
the
the
parking
garages,
so
that
particular
evening
Ranken
Avenue
had
four
openings:
Wall
Street
had
five
openings,
Harris
had
17
openings
and
billmore
Avenue
had
74,
but
the
interesting
part
is
College
Street,
which
is
where
I
usually
park
at
335,
open
parkings
on
a
Saturday
night
and
Cox
avenue
had
539
openings
on
the
Saturday
night.
So
what
that
tells
me
is
people
just
start
utilizing
our
two
biggest
parking
structures
well,
except
for
the
six
they're,
not
using
our
two
biggest
structures.
B
Apparently
they
don't
know
about
them
or
they're,
not
clearly
marked
or
something.
So
when
I
hear
some
people
say
they
don't
come
downtown
because
there's
no
parking.
Those
people
just
aren't
aware
that
there
is
parking
and
they're
just
not
I,
don't
know
what
the
problem
is,
but
they're
they're
not
finding
the
parking.
That's
there
because
I
know,
there's
parking
there
and
I
personally
have
never
had
a
problem.
I've
been
here
15
years,
never
had
a
problem
downtown
and
I
Liv
downtown
the
whole.
B
K
C
A
That
is
I
think
that's
what
people,
probably
that
live
outside
of
the
downtown
area.
That's
that's
educational
information
that
they
need
because
see.
I
wouldn't
have
known
that.
If
you
hadn't
told
me
that
right
exactly
and
if
I
live
where
I
live,
I
want
to
come
downtown.
Then,
if
I'm
looking
at
that's
what
I
don't
know
that
that's
private
versus
City
owned
and
it's
going
to
cost
me
more
than
I
won't
want
to
come.
So
that's
something
that
we
probably
need
to
do.
Also
well,
I!
Think,
there's,
there's!
Definitely
education.
B
Needed
on
these
parking
structures,
and
if
people
don't
know
about
the
as
app
you
know,
they
need
to
get
it
set
up
on
that
right
away,
because
I
mean
that's
the
best
place.
I
To
find
par
on
the
nation
and
I'll
just
note
that
the
county
owns
those
two
Decks
that
Dane
mentioned.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
this
is
helpful
information
for
us
on
our
communication,
end
of
things
to
to
just
know
where
there
are
opportunities
to
better
inform
the
community
about
what
all
the
what
all
the
options
are
out
there.
Even
if
they're,
not
City
owned.
A
Because
I
said
I
say
you
know:
you've
been
here
for
15
years,
I've
been
here
all
my
life
and
I
didn't
know
and
see.
That's
that's
the
difference.
Growing
up
from
being
able
to
park
anywhere
down,
town
free,
you
know
finding
places
and
once
they
start
building
up
buildings
and
they
took
away
parking
structures
where
parking
areas,
not
structures,
but
we
didn't
know
that,
and
so
a
lot
of
people
in
my
community
have
no
idea
where
the
ash
app
is.
So
that's
what
I'm
saying
that's
something
I
can
take
back
to
my
neighborhood.
A
So
in
my
neighborhood,
then
that
would
be
my
I'm
a
very
involved
in
my
neighborhood
association
and
I
know
my
neighbors,
because,
where
I
live,
I've
grown
up
with
them,
most
of
them
and
so
I
know
them
so
I
can
take.
I
can
take
that
back
and
even
the
new
ones
that
are
in
the
neighborhood
I
can
still
take
that
to
them,
because
I
have
a
connection
with
them.
A
So
I
think
that
when
you
think
about
neighborhood
advis
advisory
committee,
that's
what
we
are
a
neighborhood,
and
so
that's
who
we
reaching
out
to
so
I
I
appreciate
that
I
love
the
idea
that
you
said
that
and
I
will
take
that
back
so
that
if
I
have
you
know,
friends
or
people
that
want
to
come
for
whatever
reason
downtown
that
they
will
know
that.
This
is
what
you
can.
This
is
where
you
can
go
so
I
appreciate
that
have.
B
And
definitely
you
know,
let
them
know
about
the
two
County
own
structures.
B
They
need
to
get
the
ashual
app
on
their
phone
and
use
it,
and
it's
the
best
way
to
find
parking
downtown
is
use
the
ashual
app
and
the
two
structures
which
I
think
there's
always
going
to
be
parking,
except
maybe,
if
there's
a
special
event
or
something
is
going
to
be
the
two
County
own
structures
on
Cox
Avenue
and
on
College
Avenue,
I,
mean
least
know
the
one
on
College,
where
I
generally
Park,
that's
usually
used
for
people
who
are
in
the
city
of
county
building
who
work
here
and
then
you
know
after
hours
and
then
on
weekends.
B
D
Yeah
was
just
just
going
to
say:
one
of
the
things
we're
leaving
out
of
the
conversation
about
parking
is
that
if
we
took
more
mass
transit,
then
you
wouldn't
need
the
parking
and
I
know.
I
live
in
West
Asheville
and
if
the
bus
ran
later,
especially
on
Sunday
I
would
be
much
more
likely
to
take
the
bus
to
downtown.
But
knowing
that
I
think
the
last
bus
during
except
the
last
bus
on
Sunday
is
like
6
pm.
and
the
last
bus.
D
The
rest
of
the
time
is,
you
probably
know,
is
it
11
or
10
11
11:,
given
those
cut
off
times
that
pretty
much
especially
on
Sunday.
That
would
prevent
me
from
taking
the
bus
downtown,
because.
B
I
mean
I
agree
with
you,
I
mean
living
downtown,
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
use
the
bus,
and
we
can
generally
pick
a
bus
up
because
we
have
the
downtown
transit
station.
Getting
home
is
nearly
impossible
and
so
I've
given
up
on
using
the
bus,
because
it
is
not,
is
not
workable.
In
its
current
setup.
C
And
just
as
a
point
of
perspective,
I
remember
when
the
bus
cut
off
way
way
earlier
than.
H
C
C
A
A
lot
it
is
it
is
it's
not
a
lot
and
for
people
seniors
that
I've
talked
to
that
will
not
ride
the
bus
is
because
of
either
people
that
are,
you
know
the
homeless
get
on
the
bus.
A
They
don't
like
that
because
they're
afraid
of
them
not
even
just
the
seniors,
but
some
of
the
other
some
other
people
are
because
they
think
they
say
that
the
buses
are
not
clean
on
the
inside
and
then
they
say
that
well,
like
myself,
I
could
not
get
on
the
bus
because
I'm
highly
allergic
to
smoke,
and
so
people
that
have
been
smoking
and
get
on
the
bus.
You
can
still
smell
the
smoke
and
that
bothers
me.
So
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
pros
and
cons
to
wanting
to
use
the
mass.
A
You
know:
transit
system
and
I
think
that
I've
been
in
bigger
cities
where
I've
have
been
able
to
get
on
buses
and
I,
don't
smell
that
I,
don't
know
what
the
difference
is,
but
I've
been
Washington
DC
in
the
heart
of
DC
riding
a
a
bus
I.
Never
it
was
clean.
You
know
I
didn't
have
that
New
York
I
didn't
have
that.
A
Something
to
consider
when
you're
talking
about
putting
people
on
the
bus-
and
you
know
how
you're
going
to
ride
the
bus
and
when
you're
going
to
ride
and
sometimes
the
buses
in
some
areas.
They
don't
come
enough
for
people
that
need
to
go
to
work
that
don't
want
to
go
to
work
an
hour
early
or
in
some
of
the
other
outlin
areas,
not
just
inside
the
city.
So
I
think
that's
good
information,
SE
next
Point
agenda
items
for
next
our
upcoming
meetings.
A
Next
time
we
meet
in
September,
we
will
have
the
final
planning
of
the
festival
neighborhood
that
we'll
be
ready
to
go
and
everyone
can
take
their
rest.
The
rest
of
those
days.
So
you
be
nice
and
smiley
and
happy
when
that
day
comes
still
want
to
invite
you
all
to
come
out
to
Shiloh
on
Thursday
from
6:00
to
7:30,
and
it's
for
I'm
I'm
coming
just
because
of
the
surprise.
Whatever
the
thing
that
is,
that
you're
saying
don't.
A
You
know
I'll,
be
there,
Mar
I'll,
be
there.
So
look
for
you
then.
So
now
we'll
have
our
counil
person
Miss
Camron,
to
come
and
give
us
Reflections
comments
and
answer.
Qu
unanswer
questions.
L
So
glad
to
be
here
with
all
of
you
today,
my
name
is
kimron
and
I'm.
Your
city
council,
liais
onto
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
on
my
way
here
from
piano
lessons,
I
was
listening
to
the
meeting,
so
I
caught
most
of
it
and
I
I,
considered
that
Dao
may
have
already
brought
this
up
and
I
may
have
missed
it.
L
But
one
of
the
things
I
was
hearing
from
our
equity
and
engagement
subcommittee
of
councel,
which
I
am
a
member,
is
not
just
us
hearing
from
neighborhoods,
but
also
asking
y'all
to
provide
input
and
so
providing
more
of
a
flow
of
communication
and
asking
for
your
recommendations.
L
I
think,
is
something
that
we
can
do
better
on
our
committees
and
that's
something
that
I've
asked
us
to
consider
doing
so
that
when
we're
making
a
work
plan
or
when
you're,
considering
for
your
retreat
that
instead
of
you
just
hearing
reports
but
also
making
recommendations,
we'll
give
us
better
of
that
flow
of
communication.
For
example,
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
about
the
Festival
of
neighborhoods
and
looking
forward
to
signing
up
I
also
really
appreciated
the
conversation
about
how
we
move
people
more
effectively.
L
Through
the
city
and
I
wondered,
would
it
be
interesting
to
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
to
hear
an
update
on
our
Transit
master
plan?
It
includes
things
like
a
downtown.
Circulator
is
in
fiscal
year,
four,
so
think
about
it
like
phase
four
we're
still
at
phase
two,
which
is
increasing
service
to
South
Asheville
on
the
S3
and
S6,
which
only
goes
every
90
minutes.
So
if
we
were
to
increase
the
S3
and
S6,
not
only
could
you
get
to
and
from
South
Asheville,
including
Shiloh
more
effectively,
but
you
could
also
get
back.
L
Another
thing
that
has
come
up
is:
if
that
would
be
interesting,
it
would
be
helpful
to
reach
out
to
staff
and
let
them
know
as
part
of
your
retreat
or
we
can
certainly
ask
us.
We
could
also
invite
the
land
of
Sky
to
talk
about
Regional,
Transportation
Planning
and
how
some
of
those
Park
and
Ride
studies
that
Dane
mentioned.
Where
would
the
funding
come
from
and
and
how
could
you
get
that
information
out
to
neighborhoods?
L
So
when
those
funding
decisions
are
coming
up,
not
just
at
the
local
level
but
at
the
regional
level,
how
could
the
neighborhoods
provide
input
as
a
member
of
our
French,
Broad,
Metropolitan
planning
organization,
it
very
rare
to
get
public
input
and
I
would
love
to
hear
from
our
neighborhoods
about
what
the
priorities
should
be
and
how
we
move
people
more
effectively
and
how
transportation
funding
happens.
L
Another
thing
to
consider
I
heard
that
y'all
were
mentioning
some
things
that
might
come
up
with
the
Asheville
area,
Arts
Council
and
we
just
provided
a
contract
for
the
Asheville
area,
Arts
Council,
to
oversee
some
of
our
Festival
planning
funding,
but
they
also
are
doing
a
circulator
that
is
running
an
art
circulator
from
the
river
Arts
District
to
downtown
and
then
also
to
West
Asheville,
and
it
might
be
a
picture,
a
snapshot
of
what
a
future
downtown
circulator
could
look
like
and
I.
L
Imagine
that
we'll
soon
be
having
some
data
from
the
program
they
ran
this
summer,
so,
whether
it's
like
festivals
or
also
Transportation
data,
they
might
be
able
to
come
and
speak.
But
those
are
kinds
of
suggestions
where
we
might
be
able
to
link
up
future
agenda
items
if
you
wanted
to
bring
that
up
for
your
retreat.
Just
let
me
know
how
I
can
help
any
questions
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
service.
Thank.
