Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).

A
It's
been
carried,
the
draft
minutes
from
February
27th
have
been
approved
if
you'll
take
a
few
minutes
and
review
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting.
If
there's
anything
that
you
have
that,
you
want
to
add
that
you
have
on
that,
your
committee
is
going
to
do
just
make
sure
you're
prepared
as
we
come
down
to
that
point.
A
I
K
All
right,
well,
I
will
be
happy
to
provide
that
update
a
little
closer
here.
So
we
launched
round
three
of
funding
today
and
neighborhood
matching
grants.
We
haven't
changed
anything
in
the
way
of
the
awarded
amounts.
Neighborhoods
can
still
apply
for
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
of
funding
that
they
will
match
in
any
combination
of
volunteer
hours,
cash
donations
and
kind
donations.
That
sort
of
thing
all
neighborhoods
are
welcome
to
apply.
K
Some
neighborhoods
are
not
at
the
point
where
they
have
things
like
a
bank
account
or
a
Treasurer,
and
we
have
had
situations
like
that
where
they've
been
able
to
partner
with
a
Fiscal
Agent,
that's
like
a
local
non-profit
that
they
routinely
work
with
to
act
as
that
pass-through
entity
for
the
funding.
So
we
want
people
to
know
not
to
let
that
sort
of
thing
be
a
barrier
for
them.
K
You
all
have
been
hearing
about
neighborhood
matching
grants
for
a
while
now,
but
I
know
that
we
also
have
new
members
on
the
committee.
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
sense
as
you're
out
in
the
community.
If
you
could
be
a
resource
and
be
talking
to
folks
about
the
availability
of
of
what
sort
of
projects
can
be
funded,
we
have
all
of
the
program.
Excuse
me
all
of
the
program
policies
and
guidelines
on
our
website.
K
Basically,
it's
important
to
us
that
we
let
the
imagination
of
the
neighborhoods
really
dictate
what
their
project
is
going
to
be.
So
we
try
to
sort
of
cast
a
wide
net
and
allow
for
them
to
dream
up
whatever
sounds
like
that's
what
they
need,
but
basically
it
needs
to
provide
a
public
benefit
and
it
needs.
If
it's
a
built
project,
it
should
not
occur
on
someone's
private
property.
K
Other
than
that,
you
know
they
need
to
demonstrate
what
level
of
participation
and
buy-in
they're
getting
from
their
neighbors.
So
if,
like
one
person,
has
a
great
idea,
but
they
haven't
gone
to
the
neighborhood
and
said
what
do
you
guys
think
about
this?
Should
we
pursue
this
funding?
You
know
we're
going
to
ask
for
that
demonstration
of
support
from
their
neighbors.
K
There
is
an
application
window.
We
extended
that
from
one
month
to
two
months
this
time,
because
what
we
found
was
that
people
have
their
ideas,
they
submit
their
application
and
then
we
as
City
staff
like
we
look
at
the
complexity
of
their
projects.
Some
of
them
are
very
straightforward
and
some
of
them
are
not.
We
need
time
to
go
back
and
forth
with
people
and
really
iron
things
out
and
make
sure
that
it's
going
to
be
doable
before
we
get
into
the
actual
Awards
process
and
say
yes
to
the
funding.
H
G
Haven't
covered
everything
Peter
yeah:
when
does
the
application
process
open
so.
F
K
Is
yeah
and
so
like,
therefore,
for
me
to
read
out
the
URL
to
you
is
going
to
be
it's
gonna,
be
a
little
long.
I
mean
I'll,
give
it
to
you,
but
honestly,
if
you
just
go
to
the
home
page
and
type
neighborhood
matching
grants
into
that
search
bar,
that's
at
the
top
middle
that'll
be
the
easiest
way
to
find
it
Peter
yep.
Thank
you.
You're
most
welcome.
E
Do
do
the
the
groups
that
apply
do
they
have
to
be
registered
neighborhoods.
K
Thank
you.
Yes,
that
is
one
of
the
very
first
steps
is
to
register
the
neighborhood,
and
that's
a
longer
conversation
that
you
and
I
could
have,
because
I
know
that
if
you
probably
still
live
in
an
area
where,
like
you're,
not
in
a
registered
name
across.
K
E
Yeah,
we
do
seem
to
find
that
neighborhood
registration
is
probably
the
biggest
obstacle
when
it
comes
to
like
accessing
these
types
of
resources.
H
E
K
A
Yeah
absolutely
so
let
me
ask
you
a
question,
but
since,
if
you're,
not
a
registered
neighborhood,
can't
you
partner
with
those
the
other
ones,
can
you
do
a
partnership
because
I
know
that's
been
happening
so,
if
you're
not
registered,
then
you
can
partner
with
the
person
the
other
neighborhood.
That's
always
inside
of
your
area.
Can't
you
yeah
I,
think
that's
what
we've
been
doing
in
Shiloh.
What
a
group
yeah.
K
E
I
have
one
final
question
about
the
neighborhood
matching
grants
can
a
neighborhood
or
organization
that
won
previously
say
just
this
last
cycle,
maybe
they're
still
completing
the
first,
the
project
that
they
got
for
last
cycle?
Are
they
allowed
to
apply
again
yeah?
Okay,
that's.
A
A
They
want
to
know
what
you're
doing
and
how
you're
doing
with
your
so
that
we
would
not
I,
don't
say
that
you
would
not
be
eligible.
But
if
you
wouldn't
do
anything
with
the
money
you
had
before
that
another
question,
but
if
you're
moving
forward
doing
something
with
what
you
already
have
and
it's
going
to
just
come
and
help
with
that,
there
are
ways
that
they
do,
that
am
I
right.
K
Yeah
so
part
of
the
reporting
process
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
speak
to
the
receiving
the
funds.
Since
we're
sort
of
on
the
topic,
we
were
able
to
make
a
good
change
to
the
sort
of
requirements.
K
We
know
that
not
every
neighborhood
has
a
bank
account
full
of
money
that
they
confront
the
up
that
they
can
upfront
deal
with
the
costs,
so
we
can
pay
in
advance
and
then
have
the
neighborhood
submit
receipts
within
a
timely
fashion
or
we
can
pay
as
a
reimbursement
just
whatever
we
just
want
to
work
with
people
you
know
and
make
it
as
easy
as
we
can.
So.
K
K
And
effort:
oh
the
volunteer,
yes,
the
national
volunteer
hourly
rate
tends
to
go
up
every
year
and
we
just
take
that
number
from
independentsector.org
they're
sort
of
like
the
standard
and
so
last
year.
I
think
it
was
29.15
per
hour
and
it
did
go
up
or
it
will
sorry
not
did.
It
should
go
up
again.
I
think
they
usually
issue
in
April.
A
H
F
Okay,
that
is
myself
to
clear
up
some
misinformation.
I
gave
in
Elise,
who
did
the
a
lot
of
the
cleanup
work
from
Peter,
myself
and
Elise,
who
are
on
the
bylaw
subcommittee.
F
We
got
an
email
saying
that
we
had
to
be
reviewed
by
legal,
which
I
think
is
pretty
standard
on
the
bylaws
and
I
wanted
to
clarify
that.
Most
of
you
don't
know
the
bylaws
and
they're
online
and
they're
available.
We've
got
a
section
that
says
officers,
article
three
and
we've
made
a
change
and
officers
send
officers.
The
Knack
shall
consist
of
a
chairperson
vice
chairperson.
These
officers
shall
be
elected
by
the
committee
at
the
annual
meeting
period
and
then
the
new
edition
is
term
length
is
12
months.
F
So
I
stated
erroneously
that
we
probably
couldn't
use
that,
but
we
can
use
that
because,
as
talking
with
Elise
and
looking
at
other
boards
and
commissions
like
urban
forestry,
commission
elects
officers
and
12-month
increments,
and
they
do
it
in
January
we
in
elect
officers.
If
they're
due
for
re-election
in
our
annual
meeting,
which
is
here,
we
go
section.
Two
annual
planning,
Retreat.
F
Annual
planning,
Retreat
meeting
of
the
ACT
shall
be
the
regular
meeting
of
the
neck
that
occurs
in
August,
suggested
June
or
the
first
meeting
thereafter
at
the
annual
planning
Retreat
meeting.
In
addition
to
regular
business
of
The
Knack,
including
setting
the
monthly
meeting
schedule
and
the
final
work
plan,
and
then
it
says,
officers
shall
be
elected,
which
means
that
it
is
annual
and
we're
also
stating
that
a
weekend
re-elect
our
officers
if
we
chose,
if
we
choose
to
do
so
or
we
can
nominate
and
elect
different
people.
F
If
we
also
choose
to
do
so
so
I
think
in
order
for
us
to
have
these
bylaws
go
into
and
be
looked
at
it
legal
that
we
as
a
group
need
to
vote
on
whether
we
want
to
make
these
changes
or
not.
Now,
I,
don't
think
we
can
do
that
at
this
meeting,
because
none
of
us
have
seen
it
and
so
I'm
I'm,
suggesting
that
what
we
do
is
have
a
lease
send
it
out.
Well,.
F
Everything
yeah,
yeah
and
so
I
think
that
if
everybody,
if
Christina,
says
the
leak
that
we
all
look
at
it,
so
that
the
next
meeting
we
can
have.
If
we
have
any
questions,
ask
the
questions
and
if
we're
going
to
make
additions
that
we
vote,
these
editions
are
okay,
so
that
when
they
do
go
to
Legal
that
we've
all
agreed
that
this
is
something
that
we
all
want
and
I
was
talking
to
Bob
and
Anne
to
Elise
about.
F
It
makes
sense
to
me
to
have
it
in
the
beginning
of
the
year,
because
I'm
just
one
of
those
people
who
thinks
okay,
it's
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we
elect
officers
but
as
Elise
stated
it.
It's
already
stated
in
here
to
be
done
at
our
annual
planning,
Retreat
meeting,
and
so
therefore
we
should
just
keep
it
at
that,
and
just
remind
everybody
that
officers
shall
be
elected
in
that
period
and
point
in
time,
and
that
makes
not
having
to
change
the
whole
bylaws
correct
with
them.
It's
just
keep
it
at
that.
E
The
bylaws
currently
state
that
any
amendments-
and
we
don't
plan
on
changing
this
section
or
we
don't
have
any
proposals
to
change
that
section.
The
the
bylaws
state
that
any
amendments
to
the
bylaws
have
to
be
reviewed
by
the
rest
of
the
committee
members
at
least
seven
days
prior
to
actually
voting
on
them.
So
yeah.
Everyone
would
need
at
least
seven
days
prior
to
our
next
meeting
before
we
vote
on
any
change
in
language.
So.
A
I
thought
that
when
we,
when
we
discussed
it,
we
were
just
gonna
the
next
meeting
that
we
were
just
going
to
look
and
review
it,
and
then
it
would
go
to
to
the
attorneys,
so
they
could,
whoever
it
is,
is
going
to
review
it
to
make
sure
that
we
are
but
we're
not
going
to
vote
on
it
next
month.
That
was
what
I
thought
that
we
agreed
in.
F
A
A
And
I
say
that,
because
I
mean
you
know,
everybody
has
busy
lives
but
you're
going
to
send
it
out.
It's
an
email,
but
I
think
that
people
need
to
be
able
to
sit
down
and
look
at
it
and
you
can
kind
of
like
for
especially
for
the
new
people.
That
may
not
even
know
what
the
bylaws
say,
because
you
would
know
what
it
says.
Unless
you
want
to
come
in.
E
I've
prepared
a
document
that
shows
the
current
text,
along
with
the
proposed
text,
along
with
the
reason
for
change
it's.
Hopefully,
it
should
be
easy
enough
for
people
too.
Sorry
easy
enough
for
people
to
look
at
the
the
document
that
we
currently
have
with
the
we
can
I
have
an
attachment,
as
well
as
the
current.
The
current
bylaws.
A
F
F
A
See
well,
I,
don't
want
to
vote
on
something,
and
we
still
have
to
go
to
legal
and
legal
says
that
they
don't
that
they
didn't.
They
didn't
like
something
that
we
said
and
we
might
need
to
change
the
vert.
The
how
we
say
something
so
I
wouldn't
want
to
sit
here
and
vote
on
something
before
legally
has
a
chance
to
look
at
it.
Does
that
make
sense,
I
rather
feel
legal
to
look
at
it
and
to
say
well.
H
A
F
A
verbiage
of,
if
we
all
have
to
agree
to
it
before
it
gets
to
Legal
I'd,
have
to
sit
down
and
reread
that
again
do
you
have
that
there's.
F
F
G
Those
changes,
wouldn't
it
be
more
efficient,
just
time,
wise
and
stuff
and
stuff
that
we
all
get
our
ducks
in
a
row
first
and
you
then
send
it
to
Leo
and
if
they
come
back,
you
know
as
opposed
to
sending
it
to
them.
Now
they
come
back
with
changes.
Then
we
all
get
together
and
we
make
more
changes
only
to
have
it
sent
back
there.
G
G
We're
going
to
have
to
abide
by
what
they've
seen
that's
okay,
but
I'm,
just
a
fragrance.
The
document
is
not
ready
for
prime
time
right
now.
If
we
have
to
discuss
it,
so
my
suggestion
is,
is
maybe
we
could
all
get
out
of
copy.
Word
stands
now
for
the
next
meeting.
We
all
read
it.
We
come
in
with
what
we
think
should
change
or
not,
and
at
the
end
of
that
meeting
then
then
package
it
up
and
say
here,
hero
this.
F
F
F
A
A
Yes,
that's
all
you
voted
for
not
that
you're
saying
it,
because
I
don't
I,
wouldn't
want
to
say
that
you
agree
to
you
know
whatever
say:
okay,
this
is
the
way
it
stands
and
that's
what
I
was
confused
about.
A
A
A
I
mean
that's,
that's
fine,
make
sure
that
I
mean
I,
get
a
lot
of
emails,
I
mean
I'm,
just
I'm,
just
being
honest,
I
just
get
so
worn
out
with
emails
and
I
hope
that
I
can
get
it
and
I
hope
that
everybody,
when
you
get
the
email
about
the
the
changes
that
you
really
look
over
it
and
really
say
this
is
what
I
you
know
or
if
you
have
any
questions
about
it
that
you
said
well,
this
question:
let's
talk
about
it
and
discuss
it
and
I
think
that
next
month
we
probably
won't
have
that
much
on
the
on
the
agenda.
A
So
that
could
just
be
a
prime
thing
that
that
they
can,
that
you
can
discuss,
because
you
know
I
will
not
be
here
and
I
will
not
be
here
because
I'll
be
presenting
it
reparations
on.
H
A
G
H
I
Sure,
if
you
all
are
going
to
vote
on
something,
then
you
can
have
the
documents
that
you're
going
to
vote
on
attached
to
the
agenda
and
that
way.
There's
transparency
for
the
public
to
follow
the
decisions
that
you're
making
and
it's
sounding
like
you
want
to
make
a
decision
to
connect
at
the
next
meeting
to
move
forward.
F
I
I
H
I
Great
discussion
for
everybody
to
view
and
reflect
back
on
next
month,
because
Peter
and
I
was
sitting
here
talking
about.
A
A
I'll
put
it,
you
know,
I,
look
at
it
and
then
I'll
make
notes
on
whatever
I
think
the
changes
should
be
instead
of
somebody
else
put
it,
you
don't
need
a
sidebar,
don't
do
it
because
I've
been
in
the
sidebar
stuff
too,
and
it
becomes
too
complex.
So
for
just
this
group
here,
if
you
send
it
out,
you
look
at
it,
make
notes
on
it
and
when
we
come
back
then
you
all
know
we'll
know
what
what
it
is
that
you
want
to
discuss
about
why
I
said
you
might
want
to
know
why
it's
changed.
A
What
was
you
know?
Will
you
make
a
variable
of
how
it
was
before
you
made
the
changes,
because
new
people
may
not
know
that,
so
they
want
to
see
what
the
bylaws
looked
like
before.
This
is
just
this
group
here
what
it
was
before
and
what
you've
changed,
and
everyone
know
why
you
changed
it
see.
So
that
was
that,
and
you
have
to
open
up
that
door
for
people
to
to
have
that
conversation,
so
they
won't
feel
like
well
you've
done
something
that
I'm
left
out.
That's
me:
that's!
That's!
Just
because
I'm
gonna
ask
questions.
D
A
D
E
H
I
C
I
have
an
update
on
that.
We
met
on
Tuesday
the
21st
of
March.
We
had
a
meeting
with
the
committee
and
we
come
up
with
a
a
couple
of
words
that
we
feel
like
will
represent
our
Festival
fun
information
and
connection.
It's
a
One-Stop
event
for
people
to
be
able
to
receive
lots
of
information
from
from
our
County,
as
well
as
our
city
governments
dealing
with
our
fire
departments,
sanitation,
Homeward,
Bound,
the
fire
trucks,
Library
bus,
lots
of
different
elements
within
our
city
that
people
could
benefit
from.
C
We
sent
on
to
the
Noah
and
Christina
a
list
of
15
different
needs
that
we
had
and
of
those
needs.
They
range
from
bathrooms
to
platforms
to
tents,
microphones,
electricity,
bouncy,
house
tables
and
chairs
Workshop
space
play
area
for
children,
name
tags
we
felt
like
that
would
be
really
important
for
everybody.
He
had
their
name
tag
and
the
in
the
area
in
which
they
represent,
possibly
a
scavenger
hunt,
a
logistics
of
the
setup
and
parking
and
on
the
line
bus
line.
C
I
All
right
and
then
I
will
have
them.
I,
I
I
know
that
there's
been
some
work
happening
on
a
number
of
fronts
and
I'll
be
very
happy
to
turn
this
over
to
Christina
and
I
thought.
It
might
be
helpful
just
to
reflect
back
to
what
got
us
to
that
meeting
where
we
were
able
to
really
pause
after
hearing
what
the
opportunities
are
from
knack
to
to
have
some
type
of
event,
where
we're
bringing
people
together.
I
So
knowing
that
those
from
from
the
staff
side
that
those
things
were
existing
with
a
similar
goal
and
that
Knack
had
this
goal,
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
had
this
goal
of
a
similar
event.
The
third
leg
on
that
was
understanding.
That
engagement
fatigue
is
a
real
thing,
and
it's
not
just
Asheville.
That's
experiencing
this
as
cities
across
the
country
are
becoming
more
and
more
Adept
at
engaging
with
their
public
they're.
Realizing
that
asking
somebody
to
come
out
every
weekend
for
a
different
project
is
really
going
to
have
a
dwindling
effect
after
a
period
of
time.
I
J
I
Of
people
are
coming,
so
that's
what
we
explored.
It
was
a
great
conversation
with
the
committee.
We
have
talked
with
some
departments
and
we're
can
I'm
continuing
those
conversations
about
kind
of
uniting
some
of
the
things
that
that
we
want
to
do
on
an
annual
basis,
whether
that
storm
preparedness
or
flood
prevention,
Parks
and
Rec
kind
of
fun
budget
engagement
for
the
coming
year.
That's
actually
right
around
the
time
where
we're
starting
the
whole
budget
process
again.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities.
Those
can.
Those
conversations
are
continuing.
K
Thank
you
Dallas,
so
I
met
with
John
Philman
on
Friday,
he's
our
community
events
manager
here
and
asked
him
about
dates.
So
I
had
that
great
list
that
that
Wendy
compiled
for
us
and
was
able
to
send
that
to
him
and
say
this
is
what
we
need
in
a
space,
and
we
talked
also
at
that
meeting
with
the
working
group
about
the
month
of
September
being
National
neighbor
month,
and
so
we
don't
need
to
pin
ourselves
down
too
hard
to
any
one
date
in
September.
K
So
he
also
put
me
in
touch
with
Wayne
Simmonds
in
parks
and
rec,
and
he's
our
program
and
operations
manager
that
has
the
schedule
for
MLK
Park.
So
we
did
ask
about
MLK
Park,
it's
available
every
Saturday
in
September.
If
we
wanted
that
as
an
option,
I
talked
to
John
more
specifically
about
pack
Square
Park,
because
when
I
told
him
what
you
all
were.
K
That
would
be
in
conjunction
if
you
chose
that
date
with
the
tunnels
to
Towers
5K,
they
start
early.
So
basically
they
would
be
setting
off
on
that
5K
from
the
municipal
building.
While
we
were
setting
up
and
also
goombay,
which
is
returning
to
the
block
and
Eagle
Street
this
year
and
he's
going
to
receive,
he
said
that
he
is,
you
know,
he's
awaiting
confirmation,
but
they're.
You
know
like
pretty
much
through
that
process
like
90
something
percent
sure
that
that's
going
to
happen,
so
that
could
be
a
really
cool
opportunity
in
John's
opinion.
K
Nothing
is
happening
at
the
park
that
day,
because
Parks
and
Rec
reserves
one
weekend
a
month
or
one
Saturday
in
the
month,
I
can't
remember
which,
as
a
splashville
day,
because
they've
heard
that
from
the
community
that,
like
you've,
always
got
stuff
going
on
and
then
we
can't
go
enjoy
splashville.
While
it's
still
hot
so
so
long
as
you
agreed
to
keep
splashville
on,
you
could
use
the
park
that
day,
which
splashville
is
kind
of
a
cool
attraction
anyway,
so
you
might
want
to
have
it
on
regardless,
even
if
you
did
the
second.
K
So
those
are
the
dates
that
are
available
in
the
venues
and
then
I
have
more
details
about
our
internal
resources
that
we
can
help
provide.
You
know,
support
with
chairs
and
Tents,
and
you
know
the
lectern
and
microphone.
He
said
that
Parks
and
Rec
might
have
an
existing
fee
schedule
for
the
bounce
houses.
So
we
wouldn't
have
to
go
around
calling
you
know
places
they
would
already
have
that.
K
Probably
have
that
information
for
you
and
he
told
me
who
to
contact
in
sanitation
about
you,
know
a
litter
collection
at
the
end
of
the
event,
so
yeah,
that's
pretty
much
all
I've
got
to
share.
You
look
happy
so
I'm
gonna
stop.
C
To
Target
and
from
that
we
can
start
putting
together
our
whole
entire
project.
So
is
there
a
possibility
that
we
can
have
a
discussion
on
these
two
dates
of
September,
2nd
or
September
16th.
F
H
F
Sorry,
oh
September,
2nd
I,
unfortunately,
I've
not
been
to
goombay,
because
I've
been
out
of
town
every
time
this
happened.
Is
the
park
used
a
lot
at
that
time,
they're
going
back
on
the
Block.
Is
that.
C
Don't
think
it
would
be
a
competition
between
the
areas.
I
think
they
would
find
this
as
a
benefit,
because
it
will
drive
more
cultural
diversity
into
the
goombay
opportunity
and
I
I
think
it
would
be
a
wonderful
way
to
combine
all
of
our
neighborhoods
yeah.
I
Just
from
a
general
engagement
perspective
that
would
be
I
know
I'm
kind
of
maybe
stepping
out
of
my
Lane
right
now,
but
that
might
that
might
be
something
to.
I
Event,
organizer,
which
I'm
sure
John
has
contact
information
for
okay,.
E
Similar
concerns
about,
if
that
would
be
like
a
competition
with
the
goombay
festival,
that's
going
on,
and
certainly
if
they're
having,
if
they're
bringing
food
trucks
and
that
kind
of
thing
I
would
hate
for
us
to
bring
in
a
bunch
of
other
food
trucks.
And
then
we
have
a
bunch
of
food
trucks
that
are
all
competing.
For
you
know
a
piece
of.
C
E
F
C
A
A
H
A
How
it
the
trail
would
go
to
make
that
you
know
so.
I
think
that
that's
a
good
idea
and
a
lot
of
people
come
home
during
that
time
and
goombay
would
be
an
asset
to
us
and
it
would
not
be
a
competition
with
the
food
trucks,
because
most
of
the
food
that
they
have
is
gonna
be
well
I
mean
I've,
had
some
good
food
that
wasn't
Caribbean
coming
up,
but
they
do
have
the
goat
in
the
curry
and
all
of
that
stuff
too,
but
they
have
a
lot
of
different.
C
H
D
C
C
Or
so
we're
thinking
of
the
16th,
that's
also
Rosh
Hashanah,
so
I,
don't
I
would
hate
for
that
to
be
a
conflict
for
the
Jewish
Community,
but
that
would
be
a
reason
for
us
to
consider
more
of
a
September,
2nd.
A
A
Sitting
here
listening
to
all
of
us
with
all
of
this
and
the
proposed
ban
on
single-use
Plastics
and
I
needed
to
get
you
a
report,
I
need
to
know
what
you're
talking
about,
because
I
got
a
whole
lot
of
bags
at
my
house.
That
I
want
to.
J
H
D
L
Bring
this
down
to
shorty
here:
okay,
hi,
everybody,
I'm,
Kira
Boulan
and
the
sustainability
program
manager
here
at
the
city
and
I'm
excited
to
be
able
to
be
with
you
today,
some
of
you
in
real
life.
We
had
some
Zoom
time
recently
and
many
of
you
I've
never
met
before
I'm
gonna.
Take
a
few
minutes
today
to
just
talk
a
little
bit
give
a
little
bit
of
background
and
context
to
all
this
plastic
talk
that's
been
going
around
and
then
provide
you
with
an
ask
and
some
information.
L
Hopefully
some
tools
to
to
help
us
do
good
work
to
find
out
what
people
are
thinking
about
plastic.
So
this
is
the
graphics
you
may
have
started
seeing
them
around.
We
have
some
purchase
advertising
we're
in
some
of
the
buses
we're
sending
out
emails,
we're
shooting
at
as
many
places
as
we
can,
because
we
really
are
really
invested
in
hearing
from
people
right
now.
We
do
not
have
an
opinion
that
is
formed.
L
A
lot
of
words
I'm
gonna
summarize
this
for
you
a
little
bit,
but
just
to
give
you
a
little
context
that
this
conversation
has
been
going
on
here
in
Asheville
for
a
long
time.
You
know
at
the
city
we
have.
We
have
enacted
waste
reduction
goals
over
time
we
had
we've
been
doing
voluntary
paper
bag
promotion
for
leaf
bag
collection.
L
For
many
years
since
2018
we've
had
intermittent
opportunities
to
hand
out
paper
leaf
bags
and
obviously
been
committed
to
reducing
our
waste,
reducing
our
carbon
footprint,
reducing
the
opportunities
we
have
I'm
trying
to
to
to
lessen
our
footprint,
both
as
an
organization
and
also
to
support
residents
in
doing
that
in
their
home,
so
we're
building
on
a
real
Foundation
of
of
opportunities.
Regardless
of
what
direction
our
recommendation
takes
in
the
fall,
but
this
year
last
year,
I
should
say
we
were
at
the
sustainability
advisory
committee.
L
A
group
of
organizations
that
came
together
as
plastic,
free
wnc
or
Western
North
Carolina
came
together
with
a
proposed
ordinance
to
to
actually
regulate
single-use
plastic
bags
and
styrofoam
take
out
food
containers.
So
there's
a
lot
I'm
going
to
go
a
little
bit
more
into
the
detail
of
what
we're
looking
at.
What
we're
thinking
about
right
now,
but
that's
kind
of
the
Baseline.
Is
the
sustainability
advisory
committee
entertain
this
this
proposal?
They
they
had
some
discussions,
some
consideration.
L
They
recommended
that
to
go
forward
to
city
council
to
consider
what
what
actions
we
can
take
to
reduce
single-use
Plastics
in
our
community
so
coming
to
to
Council
in
the
fall.
They
recommended
that
we
take
a
two-phase
approach
so
again,
this
phases
of
this
have
been
in
under
consideration
for
some
time
and
and
the
first
action
that
was
a
little
easier
to
move
forward
and
building
on
the
on
the
backs
of
some
work.
L
That's
been
done
is
to
revise
city
code
to
prohibit
plastic
bags
from
Leaf
bag
collection,
so
that
came
to
Council
in
January
and
was
approved
in
counseling
unanimously
at
that
time,
meaning
that
people
as
of
August
1st
2023,
will
no
longer
be
allowed
to
use
plastic
bags
for
curbside
leaf
collection
and
that
we
feel
really
good
about
that.
It
was
a
pretty
pretty
non-controversial,
obviously
we're
taking
our
time
to
to
continue
to
give
people
the
resources
they
need
to
be
in
compliance
with
that.
But
we
understand
it's
operationally.
L
It's
really
efficient
for
our
crews
and
it's
just
a
great
way
for
us
to
not
be
ripping
open
plastic
bags
and
leaving
them
to
flow
into
our
storm
drains
on
the
street.
So
we're
excited
about
helping
people
kind
of
move
through
that
transition
phase,
two
with
a
little
bit
more
of
a
Sticky
Wicket,
and
we
are
taking
time
to
do
really
intentional
engagement
around
what
what
can
we
do?
What
should
we
do?
What
does
our?
What
are
the
opinions
of
our
community
around
single-use
plastic
bags
at
the
point
of
sale?
L
So
that
means
the
bag
that
you
get
at
checkout
at
the
grocery
store
at
retail
operations
that
take
out
restaurant,
the
bag
that
you
get
at
checkout,
not
necessarily
the
bag.
That's
holding
all
your
apples
together,
not
necessarily
the
bag
that
your
bread
is
coming
in.
Definitely
not
like
your
ketchup,
packets
and
other
complicated
items.
We're
looking
at
point
of
sale,
single
use,
plastic
bags,
even
though
single
use
can
be
confusing,
because
many
of
us
use
our
plastic
bags
multiple
times,
but
we're
talking
about
the
plastic
bags.
L
You
get
on
the
way
out
the
door
and
disposable
styrofoam,
which
is
a
registered
trademark,
so
expanded
polystyrene,
you'll,
see
in
some
of
our
materials,
take
out
containers,
so
that's
like
cups
and
then
the
kind
of
Styrofoam
clamshell
containers.
Those
are
the
two
items
under
consideration.
So
we
started
with
internal
engagement
talking
to
our
colleagues
here
and
staff.
What
would
what
would
possible
unintended
consequences
be
to
our
operations?
L
How
do
we
understand
what
something,
what
an
ordinance
might
entail
from
the
operational
side,
and
then
also,
you
know,
we're
a
we're:
a
large
employer,
we're
also
a
big
organization
in
town.
Where
are
we
using
plastic
bags
to
just
sort
of
start
to
understand
as
a
as
a
business?
You
know
where,
where
what
would
some
of
our
business
communities
experiences
be,
so
we
kind
of
did
that
beta
testing
internally?
L
This
is
a
little
bit
more
of
our
timeline.
You
can
see
we're
at
the
blue
arrow
there.
We
did
some
little
mini
focus
groups.
We
did
internal
survey,
we
did
some
research
internally
and
then
we
use
that
information
that
we
gathered
to
start
to
build
our
public
survey,
which
just
went
live.
One
week
ago
we
had
some
review
from
some
colleagues
here
in
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee.
Thank
you
and
some
of
our
other
committees.
L
We
know
that
surveys
are
a
lot
and
we
ask
of
a
lot
of
surveys
from
a
lot
of
people.
So
this
is
not
like
a
One-Stop
shop.
We
do
have
a
survey,
we're
putting
it
out,
we've
heard
from
4
000
people.
So
far
we
have
high
expectations
on
how
that
will
continue
to
grow
until
the
survey
closes
on
April
30th,
but
we
also
know
sorry
I
have
like
a
frog
in
the
back
of
my
throat.
We
also
know
that
that's
not
the
end-all
BL.
L
We
also
know
that
at
the
end
of
the
survey
we
won't
have
heard
from
all
the
people
from
all
the
pockets
that
we
want
to,
and
so
we're
going
to
use
this
phase
of
Engagement
to
help
us
think
about.
Where
do
we
need
to
go
for
one-on-one
conversations?
Who
are
we
not
hearing
from
which
are
our
next
focus
groups,
even
though
even
focus
groups
sound
a
little
bit
off-putting?
L
This
is
a
reiteration
of
some
of
the
things
I've
already
said:
we've
also
been
doing
some
feasibility
and
on
Alternatives
we
have
to
we're
trying
to
really
take
in
the
whole
landscape.
What
if
we
didn't,
recommend
an
ordinance
for
consideration?
What
what
would
it
look
like
internally?
So
we're
trying
to
think
about
some
of
the
research,
some
of
the
unintended
consequences
environmentally
operationally
and
then
to
really
be
able
to
paint
a
whole
landscape
picture
of
of
activities
and
off
and
options?
L
Yeah
I
already
said
most
of
this
stuff,
the
the
survey
is
currently
live
and
it
will
be
live
through
April
30th.
We
do
have
I
just
brought
a
sample
today,
because
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
already
filled
out
your
survey.
If
you
have
completed
your
survey,
you
can
report,
you
can
report
that
information
to
Mayor
Christina
and
we
will
get
you
one
of
these
reusable
bags.
They
are
also
available
to
the
public
who
I
know
is
listening
attentively
at
home.
L
We
have
them
currently
at
the
grant
Center
and
at
the
Burton
Street
Center,
and
then
we'll
have
them
at
Stevens,
Lee
and
other
community
centers
as
staff
and
time
allows
we're
really
asking
for
people
to
actually
complete
the
survey
in
order
to
get
this
sweet
gift.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
there's
a
couple
Hoops
we're
putting
up
for
people
to
jump
through,
but
that's
because
we
want
to
hear
from
you
and
yeah.
Finally,
these
are
some
of
our
next
steps.
L
I
mentioned
the
leaf
bag,
that's
happening
in
August
1st,
so
in
collaboration
with
our
sanitation
department,
we're
hitting
the
streets
and
talking
to
people
about
that
handing
out
paper
bags.
Also,
you
can
there's
a
QR
code
on
the
present
that
I
know
will
be
linked
online,
and
that
goes
directly
to
the
information
about
which
of
our
recreational
centers.
Have
those
Leaf
Bags
available
for
pickup.
It's
at
five
centers
that
I'm
not
remembering
off
the
top
of
my
head
right
now
and
it's
I
think
I
grant
Montford
Stevens,
Lee
Shiloh.
L
Tempe
Avery
yeah
Houston,
that's
right,
yeah
I
think
those
are
the
five
but
double
check
my
math
they're
available
and
you
can
just
check
in
with
the
staff
they're
in
little
bundles
of
five,
just
a
starter
pack
kind
of
take
the
edge
off
the
scariness
of
transitioning
to
paper
bags
for
your
leaves
and
then
again
in
the
fall,
we'll
be
coming
with
our
recommendations.
L
So
to
you
all
here
at
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
and
with
all
of
the
folks
that
you're
talking
to
groups
you
belong
to
at
your
places
of
worship
and
your
other
organizations
that
you're
a
part
of
opportunities
that
you
have
to
connect
people
with
the
survey.
Please
do
we've
got
QR
codes,
we've
got
posters,
there's
lots
of
information
online
I'm
happy
to
share
those
Resources
with
you
directly.
You
can
connect
with
me.
You
can
connect
with
Christina
she's
got
all
that
information
and
if
you
can
help
people
understand
the
context
of
the
survey.
L
Ask
people
to
complete
the
survey
and
or
report
back
to
us
when
you're,
knowing
that
there
are
groups
of
people
that
are
just
not
being
reached
with
this,
so
that
we
can
be
creative
together
about
how
we
can
hear
from
more
folks,
particularly
and
I'm,
not
sure
that
I
really
said
enough
about
this.
So
I'll
reiterate,
particularly
our
small
business
owners.
We
know
that
that
it's
a
complicated
subject
for
our
small
business
owners
and
we
want
to
understand
what
opportunities
are
for
them.
What
they're,
how
they're
feeling
about
it?
L
L
G
That
wasn't
the
case
here
and
all
I
can
say
is
that
when
we
transition
in
Montgomery
County
over
to
it
one
most
people
saw
no
difference
in
in
their
life.
It
was
actually
marketers
bring
your
own
bad,
built
or
whatever,
but
what
it?
What
it
did
was
literate
thousands
and
thousands,
and
now
in
Baltimore
huge
quantities
of
plastic,
and
this
just
a
thought.
G
You
know
I'm
not
proposing
anything
I'm,
you
know,
and
it's
maybe
the
waste
the
City
Works,
but
usually
when
people
move
to
a
place
that'll,
who
already
has
a
law
like,
for
example,
I
like
everybody
else
in
Nashville,
I
have
a
recycling
bin
I
have
a
garbage
bin
and
it's
bought.
It's
picked
up
on
Wednesdays.
H
G
And
everybody
can
see
it
around.
I
know
our
Congressman.
He
just
says
it's
a
bunch
of
hysterical
people
that
will
warning,
but
you
know
what
this
is:
Asheville
and
I
think
I
would
and
and
getting
feedback
is
fine,
but
you
know
thank
you
for
a
while
people
will
survive
and
businesses
Will
Survive,
and
it's
just
a
question
of
adapting,
because
it's
very
frustrating
for
me
to
get
those
polystyrene
boxes.
I,
don't
know
what
to
do
with
them,
because
they're
not
recyclable.
G
L
As
the
sustainability
professional
I
can
certainly
appreciate
your
opinion
on
the
fire
burning
down,
analogy,
yeah
and
and
I,
and
this
is
why
we're
we're
looking,
for
everyone's
opinion-
a
thousand
percent.
It's
a
complicated
regulatory
environment
here
in
North
Carolina.
So
it's
important
for
us
to
really
understand
the
whole
picture
before
and
make
a
really
informed
decision
to
counsel,
but
I
encourage
you
to
fill
out
the
survey
and
tell
us
all
of
those
things.
D
Here,
I
just
want
to
say:
I
filled
out
the
survey
as
soon
as
I
got
it
last
week
and
afforded
it
to
lots
of
people.
What
I
really
appreciate
about
the
survey
is
asking
not
just
how
much
this
would
affect
you,
but
what
are
some
ideas
to
get
this
information
out
there
to
have
substitute
you
know?
Should
we
provide
back?
D
Should
we
do
this
lots
of
room
for
creative
ideas
to
help
people
with
this
transition,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
that
tack
on
it
and
I
have
a
question
I'm
wondering
in
terms
of
reaching
trying
to
get
as
much
input
as
possible?
L
That's
a
good
suggestion,
yeah
and
definitely
we're
trying
to
understand
what
all
of
the
voluntary
and
non-voluntary
options
are.
So
people's
creative
ideas
in
the
event
that
we
don't
recommend
an
actual
ordinance
in
in
the
event
that
we
go,
that
the
recommendation
is
informed
in
a
different
direction.
There's
still
a
lot,
we
can
do
as
a
community
to
reduce
single-use
Plastics
and
so
the
creativity
of
those
ideas.
Regardless
of
what
direction?
Not
only
are
our
recommendation,
but
the
actions
of
council
take.
We
know
that
we
can.
We
can
make
changes.
L
You
know
whether
they're,
voluntary
or
ordinance
based
or
somewhere
in
between
and
so
people's
creativity
has
really
informed
that
even
at
the
staff
engagement
level,
which
we
have
entertained
and
we've
been
leaning
on
our
Department's,
our
partner
departments,
to
be
able
to
get
their
word
out
through
their
channels,
mostly
digitally
at
this
point,
but
I
think
once
we
kind
of
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
who
we're
not
talking
to,
then
we
might
tap
into
some
of
those
actual
mailing
lists
and
other
opportunities.
That's
a
good
suggestion
paper.
F
Which
brings
me
to
a
logistic
question:
I
manage
a
shopping
center
and
I
want
to
hand
this
out
to
all
the
businesses
I
have
at
that
shopping
center.
How
do
I
get
that
information
to
them?.
L
F
String
of
consonants
and
vowels
I
got
the
survey
and
I
haven't
done
it
yet
and
I've
saved
it.
So
I
will
do
it
because,
as
Peter
I
came
from
a
city
where
they
just
did
it
and
one
day
I
walked
in
and
there
was
no
bags
and
I
had
my
groceries
and
for
five
cents,
I
could
buy
a
cloth
bag
and
so
because
I
said
well
we're
the
bags,
because
I
wasn't
paying
attention
and
it
just
happened
when.
F
It
just
stopped
and
plastic
bags
just
stopped.
It
was
great
and
so
I
go
to
the
store.
I
brought
it
with
me.
I've
been
here
15
years
and
I
bring
my
bags
with
me,
because
I'm
used
to
not
having
plastic
bags,
but
I
too,
have
a
closet
full
of
plastic
bag
which
I
hadn't
had
n't
had
years.
So
why
we
just
can't
just
say
no,
you
know
and
mean
it
is
beyond
me,
but
I've
been
here
long
enough
to
know
better
than
to
ask
that
question.
F
So
the
question
I
have
is
how
do
I
get
into
my
businesses,
where
I
can
hand
it
to
them
and
hand
it
to
the
owners
and
their
women,
small
businesses
and
say
here:
please
do
this
and
they
will
do
it.
That's.
L
Awesome
I
I
can
either
print
you
actual
full-size
posters,
or
we
have
little
palm
cards
that
have
a
little
information
with
the
QR
code
and
the
website
on
them.
I
can
print
them
and
bring
them
to
you.
I
can
come
around
we're
really
trying
to
get
out
on
the
street
and
up
our
ground
game.
So
I'm
happy
to
connect
with
you
after
the
meeting
and
provide
those
yep
I
can
send
you
the
poster
file
and.
F
B
C
L
Yep,
absolutely,
and
for
anybody,
that's
listening
at
home
if
you
have
an
audience-
and
you
want
to
connect
with
us-
we're
happy
to
provide
those
printed
materials,
electronic
materials
incentive
bags.
As
long
as
you're
able
to
verify
people
are
really
filling
out
those
surveys,
we
can
get
you
any
of
those
materials.
My
contact
information
is
on
the
sustainability
web
page.
So
folks
are
welcome
to
reach
out
to
me
directly
or,
if
you're
not
able
to
find
that
to
reach
out
through
Christina
and
she
can
connect
us.
L
C
L
A
H
E
Minutes,
okay,
I
attended
the
multimodal
Transportation
Commission
last
week
on
Wednesday.
They
come,
they
covered
a
number
of
topics.
E
The
first
thing
that
they
were
considering
was
a
proposal
by
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation
for
intersection
Improvement
at
Sand,
Hill
and
Sardis
Road.
If
you
know
where
that
is,
you
know,
you're
coming
on
Sardis
from
Brevard
Road,
there's
a
pizza
place
and
then
there's
the
BP
on
the
corner
that
has
that
crazy
corner,
and
so
the
idea
here
is
that
this
is
considered
a
like
low-cost
Improvement
project.
That
only
needs
minimal
approval,
and
so
they
were
coming
to
us
to
ask
us
about
our
thoughts
on
that.
E
And
while
the
group
all
did
agree
that
this
is
a
difficult
intersection
where
that's
unsafe,
from
a
lot
of
different
perspectives
as
a
pedestrian
as
a
cyclist
as
a
motorist,
but
that
the
group
needed
more
information,
because
what
we
were
given
was
basically
like
a
napkin
sketch
and
the
rest
of
the
people
on
the
committee
did
not
find
that
to
be
acceptable.
They
wanted
measurements
and
details
and
stuff.
So
we
are
going
to
get
some
more
of
that
and
discuss
further
at
the
follow-up
meeting.
E
They
were
also
discussing
a
City
County
Joint
Transit
planning
project,
in
which
both
the
city
and
the
county
are
planning
to
in
equal
amounts,
contribute
funds
to
hire
a
consultant
for
the
development
of
a
master
plan,
and
that
will
help
direct
the
the
projects
taken
on
by
the
transit
Department,
as
well
as
helping
to
identify
more
funding
sources,
and
things
like
that
and
the
other
thing
that
they
are
considering
right
now
is
combining
their
Greenway
and
the
Green
Lake
mini
and
the
bicycle
pedestrian
task
force
into
a
single
working
group,
potentially
called
the
active
Transportation
committee.
E
Since
a
lot
of
the
same
topics
were
coming
up
in
those
subcommittee
groups,
there
is
some
there's
a
proposal
from
a
bike
share
study
proposal
in
changing
the
city,
ordinance
involving
e-scooters
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
last
year.
The
year
before
there
was
like
a
week
where
there
was
a
bird
or
the
lime.
Scooters
like
just
got
dropped
in
Asheville
and
if
you're
not
familiar,
it's
like
a
electronic
scooter
sharing
thing
so
think
of.
E
Like
bike
city
city
bikes,
but
with
e-scooters
that
don't
have
a
docking
station,
they
just
like
end
up
all
over
the
sidewalk
and
stuff,
and
so
as
a
really
quick
stop
to
that.
The
city
council
had
put
in
an
ordinance
that
banned
electric
scooters
and
they
are
considering
proposing.
They
are
proposing
a
change
to
that
to
allow
personal,
private
electronic
scooters,
so
one
that
you
would
own
yourself
like
a
bicycle
or
a
skateboard
or
something,
but
not
those
companies.
E
That's
that's
the
most.
They
have
a
long
meeting
with
a
lot
of
stuff
that
goes
on,
but
that's
the
bullet
points.
F
J
F
And
he
came
from
the
parts
department
so
and
he
came
internally
and
and
we're
trying
to
figure
out
working
with
the
city,
what
his
actual
job
description
will
be
and
so
more
we
have
a
meeting
tomorrow.
So
more
I'll
have
more
information
on
what
we're
doing
in
urban
Forester
with
Urban
Forester
and
the
divorcery
commission
on
the
next
meeting,
and
then
we
had
a
discussion
on
the
trees
at
Muni
course
and
and
some
basic.
We
have
a
lot
of
what's
called
alternative
compliance.
E
F
But
do
we
know
this
to
be
a
fact?
No,
we
don't
know,
because
what
Mark
Foster
or
arborist
City
Arborist
had
told
us
is,
it
is
removing
the
the
banding
it's
generally
done
by
ribbons
on
the
trees
that
were
to
be
removed
in
there
and
they
were
coming
out.
When
We,
Were
Trees,
the
banding
so
supposedly
that
they
wouldn't
know
to
remove
those
trees,
and
yet
they
already
knew
that
they
needed
to
be
removed.
So
it
it
was.
F
A
discussion
of
the
bands
are
removed,
but
the
trees
were
known
to
have
to
be
removed.
So
we
really
can't
clarify
that
point
in
time.
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
going
to
be
in
our
agenda
tomorrow
or
not
or
not,
but
there's
been
a
lot
of
people
going
out
on
the
course
of
removing
banding
for
the
trees
that
are
scheduled
to
be
removed.
E
Okay,
so
there
were
bands
removed
from
trees,
so
they're
actually
I'm.
Sorry
to
the
way
it
sounded
to
me
was
that
there
were
trees
that
were
removed.
That
shouldn't
have
been
what
you're
saying
is
that
there
are
trees
that
were
marked
for
removal
that
then
the
Mark
was
removed,
so
they
haven't,
but.
F
It's
been
very
difficult
to
work,
as
we
didn't
know
in
their
divorcery
commission
that
there
were
bands
that
had
been
removed,
and
so
because
we
had
just
gotten
the
information
that
trees
were
being
removed
that
were
marked
to
be
removed,
and
then
we
found
out.
Yes,
they
were
marked
to
be
removed,
and
but
so
okay
thank.
C
I'd
like
to
ask
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
committed,
they
would
be
interested
in
helping
the
Candace
Pickens
Park
to
be
built.
It's
October
4th
through
the
8th.
This
is
a
volunteer
built
Park
and
it
is
going
to
be
over
at
Jones
Elementary
School,
where
the
Jones
Park
was
and
had
been
torn
down
and
re,
and
it's
going
to
be
rebuilt
and
again
the
name
is
Candace
Pickens
Park.
C
They
are
needing
a
number
of
people
to
help,
but
I
thought
that
this
would
be
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee
to
come
out
the
course
and
show
our
support
and
help
them
as
they
are
working
that
they've
got
public
relations.
Coordinators,
social
media,
volunteer
coordinators.
They
need
child
care
coordinators,
food
coordinators
tools
and
art
and
special
features.
So
they're
looking
at
a
whole
bunch
of
different
things
for
the
this
new
park.
That's
going
to
be
built
and
the
money
has
all
been
raised
by
individuals
in
that
community.
C
C
Again,
the
dates
October
4th
through
the
8th.
C
So
that's
my
I'd
like
to
submit
that
as
a
question
and
see
if
there's
any
room
for
discussion.
C
H
C
A
Gender
item
for
the
next
upcoming
meeting
we're
going
to
wait
until
May
to
get
the
human
relations
permission,
see
if
we
can
get
her
to
come
in
and
talk
to
us
about
that,
and
then
our
next
scheduled
meeting
will
be
Monday.
April
24th
at
six
o'clock,
P.M
in
person
like
I,
said
I
will
not
be
able
to
be
here.
Sharon
will
be
chairing
that
meeting
if
she
comes
incorrect.
Just
just
email
me.
A
C
So
is
it
possible
to
invite
a
speaker
says,
have
one
for
I
guess
April
could
I
invite
Roger
David
Rogers
to
come
and
talk
about
the
playground
that
they're
going
to
be
building
or
do
you
want
me
to
wait
until
July?
We.
K
C
Does
anybody
have
any
discussion
on
inviting
David,
Rogers
who's
coordinated
this
with
the
Candace
Pickens
Park
to
come
and
talk
about
the
park.
A
So
if,
if
I
don't
know,
if
everybody
knows
about
why
it's
named
Candace
Pickens
does
everybody
know,
Candace
Pickens
was
the
young
lady
that
was
killed
down
in
that
area
and
she
was
pregnant
and
they
shot
her
son.
He
she
survived,
I,
know
them
and
I
know
the
family
and
it
was,
and
the
her
son
laid
there
all
night
long
because
they
didn't
find
him
until
the
next
morning
and
he's
he's
doing
well.
I
talked
to
his
grandfather.
He
lives
in
Florida.
So
that's
why
it's
important
for
them
to
do
this.
A
It
does
have
some
reasoning
for
the
Candace
Pickens
Candace
Pickens
part,
and
it
does
mean
something
and
it's
a
staple
for
you
know
just
for
maybe
taking
a
bad
situation
and
make
it
into
a
good
situation
for
other
people
to
be
able
to
enjoy,
because
it
was,
it
was
a
very
I
didn't
think
everybody
knew.
That
was
why
it
was
named
the
Candace
and-
and
you
are
applaud
the
fact
that
you
all
went
through
with
all
that
you
did
to
get
it
named.
A
Yeah,
it
was
not
exact
like
you
just
did
something
today
and
they
said
okay,
but
they
worked
hard
on
it.
So
we
appreciate
that
so
as
we
get
ready
for
October,
you
remember
that's
a
long
way
for
me:
I
I
used
to
multitask,
but
that
turned
it
into
every
morning.
I
woke
up.
I
do
today,
I,
go
to
bed
tonight
and
then
I
think
about
something
the
next
day,
so
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
I'm
gonna
always
remember
so
just
keep
reminding
us
of.
A
Talk
yeah,
that
would
be
good
and
he
that
would
be
that
would
in
July
that's
kind
of
like
okay,
okay,
and
so
before
we
go,
we
have
to
have.
We
have
councilwoman
Kim
Roney,
who
is
our
liaison?
Who
is
here
and
she's,
always
very
quiet?
So
if
you
have
anything
that
you'd
like
to
say,
we've
talked
a
lot
tonight.
J
I
learned
a
lot
today.
Thank
you.
I
did
find
four
things
that
are
coming
up
on
tomorrow.
Night's
Council
agenda
that
are
very
specific
to
neighborhoods,
so
I
thought
I
would
just
put
a
little
sunshine
on
those
items
in
the
consent
agenda.
Item
B
includes
a
resolution
for
Paving
a
walking
trail
and
the
basketball
court
at
Walton
Street
Park.
This
comes
after
a
deep
amount
of
community
engagement
and
input
from
people
of
all
ages
in
the
neighborhood
in
the
South
Side.
J
J
The
public
hearing
is
to
consider
the
adoption
of
the
South
slope.
Neighborhood
Vision
plan
I
know
that
Eastern
Valley
Street
and
South
Side,
rising
and
South
slope
neighborhoods
have
been
really
engaged
in
this
for
a
long
time
and
it's
been
delayed
several
times.
So
this
is
coming
up
to
council
for
adoption.
That's
tomorrow,
Tuesday
at
5
pm
and
then
last
but
not
least,
and
new
business
item,
a
is
the
adoption
of
the
municipal
climate
action
plan.
J
This
is
weaving
in
the
climate
Justice
initiative,
which
includes
vulnerability,
scores
looking
at
which
neighborhoods
are
most
vulnerable
to
things
like
storm
water
issues.
Mudslides,
food
insecurity,
infrastructure
needs.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
come
together
for
a
plan
for
intentional
efforts
towards
neighborhood
resiliency.
So
all
these
things
can
be
found
on
the
city
council
agenda
for
Tuesday
at
five
o'clock.
