and
she's,
doing

and
initiatives.
Thank
you

F
Thank
you
vice
mayor
and
thank
you
for
having
me
here
good
morning
to
vice
mayor
and
councilwoman,
rony
and
all
of
asheville
city
staff.
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Okay?
Okay,
we
have
a
presentation.
So
if
we
can
put
the
slides
up,
that'll
be
great.
F
F
F
We
have
cross-sector
collaboration
and
members
on
the
justice
resource
advisory
council,
including
members
from
city
of
asheville,
the
mayor
and
mayor
manheimer
and
city
manager.
Deborah
campbell
also
are
members
of
the
justice
resource
advisory
council,
and
some
of
that
work
is
cross
system
collaboration
to
improve
our
responses
to
criminal
justice,
public
safety
and
for
crisis
response
services.
F
And
so,
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
can
give
some
background
about.
You
know
why
we're
here
talking
about
community
safety.
It
is
one
of
the
initiatives
that
the
justice
resource
advisory
council
prioritized
in
a
strategic
plan
as
well
as
one
of
the
goals
and
actions
from
buncombe
county's
racial
equity
plan
and
some
background.
We've
been
doing
this
work
in
alignment
with
our
grant
the
safety
and
justice
challenge
to
the
macarthur
foundation
and,
as
we
were
doing,
research
and
kind
of
understanding.
F
The
importance
of
why
community
safety
and
really
gun
violence
prevention
is
important.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
We
know
that
both
violence
and
justice
system
have
desperate
impacts
on
black
people
living
in
buncombe
county.
So
in
the
first
seven
months,
2020
there
were
nine
homicides
and
seven
of
the
victims
were
black
men,
they're
also
disproportionately
represented
in
our
jail
population
and
69
percent
of
gun
violent
victims.
F
Last
year
we
partnered
with
the
american
association
of
prosecutors,
as
well
as
asheville
police
department
in
a
conference
and
that's
a
reference
on
the
next
slide,
and
so
a
crime
analyst
with
asheville
police
department
was
able
to
put
this
together,
and
this
also
shows
kind
of
the
qualitative
narrative
of
why
this
work
is
so
important
and
the
his
name
is
doug
from
the
crime,
analyst
prevention,
and
this
came
from
that
conference.
F
So
over
the
past
10
years,
violence
has
increased
and
risen
violent
crimes.
Excuse
me
has
increased
in
asheville
from
400
crimes
to
600..
As
the
growth
of
asheville
increased.
There
was
a
decrease
of
black
residents
in
asheville.
So
when
you
look
at
this
through
a
data
analysis,
32
percent
of
violent
crime
victims
have
been
black
and
one-third
of
those
black
victims,
compromi
comprised
of
the
violence
crime,
and
so
this
slide
is
just
showing
you
like
the
qualitative
analysis
of
the
numbers.
F
Then
there's
also
just
roblox
to
restoration
when
people
are
returning
from
incarceration,
and
so
we
heard
and
we
listened
to
community,
we
noticed
what
was
going
on
in
the
data
and
in
late
of
2020.
We
used
some
of
our
safety
and
challenge
grant
money
to
issue
our
rfp.
F
F
So
a
part
of
the
rfp,
we
broke
it
down
into
two
phases
and
on
the
next
slide,
it
details
what
they
were
so
we
wanted-
and
this
was
kind
of
our
initial
pilot.
If
you
can
go
to
one
more
slide.
F
The
first
part
of
the
rfp
was
like
really
working
in
community
and
partnering,
with
these
community-based
organizations
to
develop
programming
that
will
address
and
prevent
gun
violence,
and
the
other
part
of
that
was
really
a
comprehensive
plan
recognizing
that
as
a
community,
we
all
have
shared
responsibility,
and
how
can
we
work
better
together
to
coordinate
our
efforts,
and
so
I
won't
go
specifically
into
the
work
that
spark
and
their
partnership
with
the
other
providers
are
doing
because
they'll
do
that
after
me.
F
But
we
did
a
contract
with
sparks
foundation
as
our
lead
organization
and
their
partner
with
my
daddy
taught
me
that
we
were
partnering
with
emojia
the
first
round
and
that's
changing
a
little
bit
for
the
second
year,
but
they
were
spark,
was
doing
kind
of
workforce
development
and
working
in
neighborhoods
and
building
neighborhood
capacity.
My
daddy
taught
me
that
focused
in
youth
mentoring,
yamoja
wellness
was
regarding
creating
trauma
and
healing
and
safety
circles
and
then
the
racial
justice
coalition.
Their
unique
perspective
on
this
part,
was
really
researching.
F
Best
practices
for
violence
interruption
models
knowing
as
a
buncombe
county,
nashville
city
of
asheville.
We
haven't
done
that
work
yet
and
so,
instead
of
recreating
the
will,
we
wanted
to
really
understand
best
practices
and
so
racial
justice
coalition
was
kind
of
tasked
with
doing
that.
Research
and
reporting
back
and
then
the
other
piece
of
that
was
developing
again
a
comprehensive
plan.
We
partnered
with.
E
F
Peer
recovery
and
they
received
technical
assistance
from
the
prevention
institute,
which
is
a
noun
national
renowned
organization
that
does
work
in
communities
on
gun,
violence,
prevention
and
the
comprehensive
approach.
So
on
the
next
slide.
This
is
what
we've
seen
happen
in
our
first
year.
We
recognize
that
this
is
going
to
be
ongoing
work.
This
is
something
that
hasn't
occurred
just
spontaneously,
but
years
of.
F
Minority
groups,
or
just
really
black
communities
being
under
represented
and
underfunded,
and
so
starting
the
work
is
really
building
capacity.
We,
the
group,
were
able
to
meet
with
70
community
members
to
do
one-on-one
healing
conversations.
F
F
So
the
next
slide
is
the
focus
of
what
came
from
the
community
safety
and
prevention
plan
with
droid
and
peer
recovery.
F
There
were
about
10
meetings
that
occurred
over
a
period
of
six
months,
that
included
representation
from
community
from
our
law
enforcement
agencies,
including
asheville
police
department
and
the
sheriff's
office,
the
district
attorney's
office
schools
and
just
community
in
general,
and
a
part
of
what
we're
seeing
is
kind
of
these
things
emerging
in
the
work
and
we'll
be
publishing
the
safety
plan
in
the
weeks
to
come
as
it's
in
this
final
stages
of
a
draft.
F
But
really
the
buckets
are
supporting
healthy
youth
involvement
and
improved
school
climate,
cultivating
a
thriving
workforce
and
economic
opportunities
to
really
mobilize
the
community
in
terms
of
livable
wages,
creating
narratives
of
hope,
safety
and
community
and
improving
the
social
and
built
environment.
So
really
thinking
about
structurally
how
our
neighborhoods
are
structured
and
improving
the
built
environment
as
well
as
the
social
environment.
People
are
living
in
these
buildings
and
structures.
F
They
reported
back
two
different
violence,
interruption
models
and
we
can
provide
this
to
you
all
in
full
detail
or
I
have
them
come
present
on
the
models,
but
we
did
lean
towards
chasm.
So
there's
chasm
and
cure
violence
cure
violence
has
several
sites
in
north
carolina
with
a
focus
on
gun,
violence,
chasm
originating
in
wilmington
and
they're.
Using
these
models
across
the
u.s,
they
have
more
than
focus
on
gun
violence.
F
They
use
four
core
strategies,
including
the
community
health
worker
model
and
weave
in
buncombe
county
started,
using
community
health
workers
in
a
variety
of
ways,
and
based
on
the
report
that
racial
justice
coalition
did.
We
were
leaning
tomorrow
of
chasm
because
it
has
that
intergenerational
model.
F
We
understand
the
points
of
doing
like
the
violence
interruption,
having
street
staff
working
in
communities
to
interrupt
violence,
but
also
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
real,
intentional
intergenerational
work
and
that's
kind
of
the
the
model
that
chasm
has,
and
so
we
were
leaning
towards
implementing
chasm.
F
I
said
the
initial
pilot
was
the
safety
and
justice
challenge
and,
like
I
I
talked
about
early,
it
was
the
community
safety
program
with
our
partnership
with
our
community-based
programs,
as
well
as
doing
the
strategic
planning
based
on
the
racial
justice
quality,
coalition's
recommendation,
we're
seeking
opera
funds
through
the
county
to
do
the
violence
interruption
model
and
get
technical
assistance
from
the
chasm
national
network
that
would
include
working
in
three
or
four
identified
neighborhoods
in
that
violence,
interruption
piece
we
also
just
applied
for
a
grant.
F
We
are
also
seeking
to
expand
the
work
that
we
did
in
the
safety
and
justice
challenge,
so
the
community
safety
funding
with
spark
will
be
ending
in
march.
So
we
want
to
help
continue
that
funding
into
the
next
few
years,
as
well
as
creating
healing
spaces
and
training
for
staff.
F
We
recognize
that
this
is
a
trauma
work
and
that
we're
working
in
communities
have
been
significantly
impacted
in
with
trauma,
but
also
the
vicarious
trauma
that
those
working
in
the
field
will
have
and
so
making
sure
that
we
honor
and
have
space
for
healing
as
well,
and
we
are
again
pending
those
potential
opportunities.
F
But,
as
I
said
before,
we
can't
do
this
in
a
vacuum,
and
I
am
grateful
to
be
here
what
this
work
will
look
like
with
the
strategic
plan
and
the
funding
that
we're
hoping
to
attain.
If
we
scroll
down
to
the
next
slide,
it's
really
a
coordinated
response
to
community
safety.
We
were
able
to
do
this
in
our
domestic
violence
and
sexual
assault
area,
where
in
2015
we
had
one
of
the
most
the
most
second
highest.
F
Excuse
me:
homicide
in
north
carolina
related
to
domestic
violence
and
that's
birdie
community
to
get
together
from
that
work,
we
were
able
to
create
the
family
justice
center.
We
have
specialized
units
and
apd
and
the
sheriff's
office
for
special
victims
unit.
Our
special
investigations
unit,
the
prosecutor's
office
have
a
special
investigations
unit
as
well.
We
created
focused
deterrence
for
those
involved
or
the
perpetrators
of
harm,
and
so
we
have
seen
a
decrease
in
our
domestic
violence.
F
So
we
know
coordination
and
community
response
efforts,
work
and
we
have
it
experienced
it
in
buncombe
county,
and
so
what
we
are
needing
is
to
continue
that
work
into
our
most
impacted
communities
of
gun,
violence
as
well
and
creating
a
comp,
a
comprehensive
strategic
planning
team
where,
hopefully,
if
we
get
awarded,
we
have
a
program
coordinator
that
can
provide
support,
but
then
working
in
this
different
buckets
of
work
that
have
been
talked
about
and
and
developed
this
out
more.
F
So
the
bold
as
an
indication
of
like
what
we
already
have
in
place
on
the
actual
like
activities,
the
one
under
violence
and
eruption
models
are
what
we're
proposing
and
what
we're
hoping
to
get
funding
for,
but
again,
like
a
lot
of
these
efforts
still
need
to
be
built
out,
including
offender
accountability,
creating
these
narratives
of
hope
and
community
and
amongst
community
partners,
and
so
this
could
be
the
start
of
a
framework
for
really
addressing
the
issue
at
hand.
F
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
in
the
next
slide
does
take
collaboration
and
coordination
from
all
of
us
from
county
county
government
is
uniquely
situated,
but
also
recognizing
the
partnerships
in
this,
including
our
other
municipalities,
including
our
school
districts,
those
who
have
been
most
impacted
being
at
the
table.
The
courts
law
enforcement
agencies
are
community-based
organizations
and
also
working
with
national
partners
who
have
done
the
work
in
different
communities
and
learning
from
their
expertise.
E
This
is
kim
tiffany.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
taking
the
time
to
make
this
presentation
today,
I
certainly
have
had
my
understanding
expanded.
E
So
I
guess
the
first
question
I
have
is
the
news
came
out
of
the
city
of
durham
this
week
that
they
have
just
dispatched
their
holistic,
empathetic
assistance
response
teams
which
they're
calling
heart,
who
are
unarmed
mental
health
professionals
to
better
match,
911
responses
to
the
needs
of
people
experiencing
non-violent,
behavior
and
mental
health
crises,
and
so
considering
that
you're
leaning
towards
the
chasm
model
and
that
intergenerational
response
has
there
been
an
opportunity
to
look
at
durham
as
another
city
in
north
carolina
to
maybe
seek
what
barriers
or
solutions.
F
F
I
think
a
part
of
the
work-
and
you
mentioned
the
heart
program-
is
centered
around
mental
health
and
non-violence,
but
I
think
we
can't
do
these
things
in
silo
and
it's
not
either
or
it's
like
both
and
right
in
building
capacity,
and
our
response
is
to
mental
health
non-violent,
but
also
the
kind
of
more
acute
harm
causing
behaviors
as
well,
and
we
definitely
can
get
some
more
information
from
durham
about
that.
E
In
the
process
of
doing
this
research,
have
you
been
able
to
identify
what
are
the
reasons
that
folks
may
or
may
not
choose
to
participate
and
or
I've
been
pursuing
other
models
around
the
country
I've
been
looking
to
see
which
ones
are
having
success
with
getting
community
members
involved.
Are
you
seeing
where
the
success
lies
in
getting
that
trust
built
in
yeah.
F
I
definitely
think
it
is
trust.
Building
is
capacity
and
trust
building.
You
know.
Every
community
is
uniquely
situated
in
how
their
partnerships
and
relationships
are
with
local
government
and
community-based
organizations,
and
so
we
have
to
kind
of
honor
our
history
and
where
we
are
and
then
help
build
that
trust
right
and
I
think
a
part
of
it
is
to
keep
coming
to
the
table,
look
being
in
asheville
and
noticing
and
being
in
the
different
spaces
and
circle.
F
We
get
frustrated
and
we
might
regress
and
just
go
back
into
our
bubble
and
then,
if
we're
able
to
continuously
stay
engaged
and
come
to
the
table
and
keep
having
these
discussions,
that's
a
way
to
definitely
build
trust,
and
I
think
that
might
be
unique
to
what
asheville
can
do.
Or
you
know
just
our
community
can
do
to
help
get
community
engaged,
but
also
get
local
government
and
our
other
agencies
involved.
It's
really
listening
to
each
other.
F
They
are
creating
healing
spaces
and
they're
kind
of
a
neutral
setting
where
they're
working
with
law
enforcement
and
communities
impacted
and
creating
spaces
for
conversation,
and
that
helped
that
has
helped
build
out
the
work
and
we're
talking
in
places
where,
like
alabama,
where
they're
trying
to
create
the
space.
So
I
think
leaning
into
people
have
done
the
work
before
and
their
expertise
can
also
help
leverage
where
we
are
in
terms
of
trust,
building.
E
That
makes
sense.
I
know
when
I've
looked
at
the
ceasefire
strategy
out
of
oakland
and
they've,
been
through
multiple
iterations
of
trying
to
re
re-invent
that
model
and
try
new
things.
It
seemed
that
the
opportunity
to
pay
community
members
was
a
big
success.
Turning
point,
so
I
wasn't
sure
if
that's
on
the
table
through
the
proposal,
but
it
certainly
would
be
something
to
consider
as
we
move
forward.
F
B
Tiffany,
how
has
actual
housing
authority
participated
in
coordination,
yeah.
F
They
have
been
a
invaluable
partner,
they
have
the
when
we
first
got
awarded
the
safety
justice
challenge
funding
and
we
started
doing
our
community
engagement.
They
have
been
a
partner
throughout.
They
helped
coordinate
us
with
their
residence
council.
They
were
integral
in
us
getting
into
these
communities
and
having
conversations
to
do
our
initial
listening
sessions
and
coming
up
with
creative
ways,
so
they
have
definitely
been
at
the
table
and
they've
been
one
of
our
members
that
have
stayed
at
the
table.
B
Have
they
been
integral
in
helping
to
develop
and
test
strategies.
B
As
well,
I'm
just
thinking
about
that
in
regard
to
improving
the
built
environment-
and
I
know
there
are
some
crime
prevention
strategies
that
we
use
through
environmental
design
and
one
that
worked
in
the
past-
that
wasn't
very
popular,
but
is
access,
control,
natural
surveillance
and
activity
support.
So
there
are
a
few
things
I'm
just
wondering
where
they
are
and
in
helping
to
lend
voice
to
strategies
that
could
work
and
and
when
it
comes
to
implementing
strategies
that
are
popular
or
that
seem
to
be
getting
some
leeway.
B
How
are
they
cooperating
with
implementing
those
strategies.
F
B
Okay,
thank
you,
tiffany,
with
no
more
questions
from
the
committee.
I
think
we'll
dig
into
the
violence
interruption
model.
Let
me
go
before.
E
We
before
we
move
on,
I
would
just
welcome
the
opportunity
to
have
this
team
come
back
once
we
have
a
a
next
step
or
data
set
to
review,
and
maybe
we
could
put
that
on
our
long
list
of
future
agenda
items.
E
B
B
D
Yeah,
thank
you,
I'm.
So
sorry,
I'm
actually
trying
to
do
two
things
at
once.
I
got
a
bunch
of
young
people
down
here:
the
td
bank
trying
to
get
bank
accounts,
but
anyway,
with
the
the
model
that
we've
done
and
the
things
that
we've
been
doing.
D
When
I
hear
the
report
that
tiffany
did,
which
was
really
good.
Thank
you
tiffany
for
the
report
and
then
miss
kim
the
questions
that
you
asked
asked
about
the
durham
model
and
stuff
like
that.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
all
can
agree
on
is
that
things
in
asheville
are
moving
very
differently
myself,
jackie
laetech,
with
spark.
We
have
been
sitting
on
meetings
with
one
of
the
reasons
that
this
this
street
team
and
committee
is
so
valuable.
D
We've
been
sitting
on
meetings
for
the
last
two
years
with
our
u.s
district
attorneys,
fred
hudson,
it
used
to
be
andrew
now
it's
dina
king
and
they
have
been
giving
us
great
information
about
the
violence
that
we're
experiencing
here
in
asheville
and
the
concern
to
the
point
where,
last
month
I
sat
on
a
national
committee,
the
psn
national
summit,
and
what
I
would
like
this
committee
to
know
what
this
this
board
to
know
is
that
we're
doing
some
very
good
things.
D
So,
when
we're
looking
at
other
models,
a
lot
of
times,
folks
are
looking
at
what
we're
doing
when
I
was
on
this
national
model,
this
national
panel,
the
entire
committee-
I
was
on
the
youth
violence
part
of
that
panel,
and
they
were
more
interested
in
what
we
were
doing
here
in
nashville,
with
what
the
work
that
we're
doing.
So
what
we
do
is
this.
We
created
a
system
where
we're
in
we,
we
designated
us
and
picked
out
specific
communities
that
we're
going
to
target.
We
started
off
with
lee
walker.
D
Excuse
me
with
hillcrest
and
klondike
and
all
of
2021.
Those
were
the
cities
that
you
know
the
counties
and
the
excuse
me
the
communities
that
we
focused
on
now.
This
is
in
the
middle
of
covet.
You
know
where
folks
are
not
wanting
to
come
out.
Folks
are
not
really
wanting
to
be,
you
know
interacting
and
stuff,
and
so
we
started
with
the
elderly.
We
have
a
person
leading
the
elderly
and
helping
out
with
elderly,
getting
them
out
of
the
house
doing
doing
stuff
such
as
bingo.
D
You
know
taking
these
elderly
folks
to
the
grocery
store
being
able
to
have
things
in
their
community
that
they
can
not
only
and
interact
and
attend,
but
have
their
voices
heard
as
well.
We're
actually
doing
things
like,
for
example,
we're
gonna
have
another
one.
This
coming
friday
july
1st
we
started
in
diva
view.
D
Three
weeks
ago,
we
partnered
with
clarence
robinson
in
cooking
with
comedy
we
paid,
for
I
think
we
served
over
88
individuals,
eight
for
free.
We
had
the
music
and
the
music
on
the
basketball
court
going.
The
kids
came
out,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
are
priding
ourselves
in
doing
is
building
the
relationships.
The
books
on
the
ground
work
meeting
the
folks
not
only
where
they
are,
but
allowing
them
to
be
able
to
come
together,
have
camaraderie
in
their
community,
but
then
take
ownership
of
their
community.
D
It's
one
thing
for
us
to
be
there:
it's
another
thing
for
them
not
to
only
have
buy-in
but
to
have
a
say
about
what's
happening
in
their
community
and
then
having
those
folks
lead.
The
way
with
our
youth,
of
course,
we're
we're
having
all
kind
of
things
happening
with
our
youth,
but
the
major
thing
that
we're
dealing
with
is
really
trying
to
find
out
where
the
violence
is
coming
from,
how
we
can
be
responsible
for
helping,
stop
the
violence
and
then
giving
our
kids
outlets,
particularly
our
young
folks.
D
I
think
it
was
2019
2020
one
of
those
two
things
I
think
we
had
44
shootings.
I
think
we
have
law
enforcement
on
the
phone.
They
can
fact
check
me.
I
think
we
have
44
shootings
in
2019.
I
think
37
of
those
of
those
shootings-
and
these
were
deaths,
shooting
or
death
by
shootings
37
were
young,
african-american
males,
and
so
how
are
we
gonna
end
this
violence
or
at
least
help
try
to
stop
this
violence?
D
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
tiffany
mentioned
is
that
applying
for
more
funding
is
one
thing,
but
between
the
two
entities,
the
city
and
the
county,
we
have
to
start
creating
outlets
for
our
youth.
There's
there's
nothing
for
our
youth
to
do,
there's
nowhere
for
them
to
go.
There's
you
know
this
summer
time
and
we
know
how
asheville
is
constructed.
D
Our
kids
don't
come
downtown
they're,
not
they
don't
come
downtown
and
they
don't
really
leave
their
silos
they're
in
hillcrest
all
day
they're
in
klondike
all
day
they're
in
pisgah
view
d
review
they're
in
those
places
pretty
much
all
day
and
with
nothing
to
do
no
outlets.
Nowhere
to
go.
We
don't
have
a
dave
and
busters.
We
don't
have
hbcu.
D
We
don't
have
things
for
our
kids
to
get
involved
with,
so
they
resort
to
what
we
see,
which
is
the
violence,
we're
trying
to
create
an
organic
street
team
to
where
we
can
assess.
We
can
help
we
can.
We
can
apply
and
make
sure
that
not
only
our
youth
but
the
families
of
those
youth
have
things
as
well.
D
I
I
can't
talk
enough
about
the
work
that
our
team
constantly.
You
know
we're
constantly
doing
to
the
point
to
where
extreme
as
soon
as
something
a
violent
incident
takes
place,
we're
in
those
communities
to
the
point
where
the
communities
tell
us,
particularly
in
hillcrest.
You
know,
we
know
what
you
guys
are
doing.
We
love
what
you're
doing,
but
this
is
not
a
good
time
to
be
here.
D
We
don't
want
you
guys
to
be
caught
up
in
stuff,
that's
going
to
create
an
unsafe
environment
for
the
team,
so
you
know
it's
good
that
you
guys
are
not
here
for
this
week
or
for
a
few
days,
and
so
it's
been
really
difficult
to
gauge
the
temperature
of
communities
when
there's
so
much
violence
happening.
What
community
can
we
go
into?
Which
community
should
we
be
in?
You
know
how
do
we
do
this
and
because
this
team
has
been
put
together
where
community
has
the
trust,
I
think
that's
very
clear,
kim.
D
I
think
you
know
to
to
answer
your
question
too.
All
these
things
coming
from
other
cities
can
possibly
work,
can
possibly
do
some
good,
but
again
asheville
is
different,
and
if
you
don't
have
people
going
into
these
communities,
who
can
be
friends
and
see,
know
that
they
have
their
best
interests.
For
example,
you
know
several
years
ago
we
talked
about
the
the
grant
that
those
are
over
in
pisgah
view.
D
Our
people
are,
you
know
it's
almost
like
they've
been
petri
death
and
and
prodded
and
poked
for
the
numbers,
and
so
when
people
other
organizations
come
in
or
people
coming
in,
it's
like
here
we
go
again.
How
long
are
they
going
to
be
here?
How
do
we
do
this
and
so
not
getting
off
on
a
tangent?
With
this
team,
we've
been
able
to
build
those
relationships
organically
and
gain
the
trust
of
the
community?
D
I
think
that
is
going
to
be
some
of
the
most
significant
work
that
we
can
possibly
do
so
when
the
communities
know
what
we're
what
we're
coming
into
those
communities.
They
know
what
to
expect
before.
I
let
jackie
say
a
thing.
This
is
what
we're
planning
on
doing
for
the
future.
So,
potentially,
maybe
some
of
our
leadership
you
guys
might
want
to
attend
this
friday.
D
I
think
reggie
reggie
richardson's,
going
to
be
there
as
well
he's
coming
up
we're
going
to
be
in
lee
walker
heights
or
maple
crest.
The
new
name,
we're
going
to
be
there.
Four
o'clock
from
four
to
seven
clarence
will
be
cooking.
We're
gonna
be
having
free
food.
Music's
gonna
be
playing.
We're
gonna
have
a
couple
of
games.
You
know
for
the
kids
to
be
playing,
it's
gonna
be
a
really
great
community
vibe,
just
like
it
was
in
diva
view
a
few
weeks
ago.
D
D
Come
shake
hands,
see
the
community
july
16th
we're
going
to
be
in
pisgah
view
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
of
the
same
things,
but
what
we're
also
doing
is
reaching
out
to
some
of
the
leaders
in
those
communities.
So
in
pisgah
view
we
know
that,
like
tiege,
who
is
keisha
davidson
and
michael
garner
son,
he's
a
kind
of
a
famous
rapper
we're
going
to
get
him.
They
do
a
lot
of
work,
they
have
an
organization
and
a
foundation.
I
think
it's
called
hunted
entertainment
or
something
like
that.
D
They're
going
to
be
there
not
only
performing
but
doing
things
with
the
youth
as
well,
so
making
sure
we're
partnering
with
those
kind
of
organizations
and
entities
as
well
who
are
in
these
communities
to
say,
look
we're
going
to
be
here
on
this
day
we're
going
to
be
giving
out
free
food.
What
can
you
possibly
bring
to
the
table?
D
D
So
when
we
go
to
liverson
and
erskine
when
we
go
to
klondike,
when
we
do
that
we'll
have
more
buy-in,
and
so
the
more
that
we
can
get
on
board
from
the
communities
being
able
to
say
we
want
to
really
be
able
to
help
this.
Do
our
part,
you
know,
play
our
role.
D
I
think
we'll
start
to
see
some
of
the
violence
change
along
with
the
chasm
programs
and
then,
quite
frankly,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
that
might
not
have
been
discussed-
and
maybe
jack
is
going
to
say
something
about.
This
is
the
mental
health
piece.
We
got
to
figure
out
a
way
to
get
mental
health
for
our
communities.
G
Awesome
thanks
keenan.
So
what
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
all
is
is
a
bit
of
a
reiteration
of
what
you've
already
heard
from
tiffany
and
keenan.
I
I
won't
be
as
eloquent,
but
I'm
going
to
say
it
anyway
and
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
repeat,
but
in
some
of
this
information
you
already
know
before
we
showed
up
here
today,
but
just
to
give
you
the
context.
In
2020
there
were
11
homicides
in
asheville
and
21.
There
were
10.
G
G
In
the
last
month,
keenan
has
had
to
tell
kids
in
his
program
to
literally
stay
inside,
because
the
concerns
about
retaliation
were
really
valid.
We've
had
the
older
adults,
as
you
heard
him
say,
tell
our
street
team
members.
Please
don't
come
into
the
community
right
now
to
conduct
programming,
it's
unpredictable.
It's
unstate
unsafe,
we're
staying
inside
and
we
don't
want
you
guys
to
get
hurt.
G
So
you
know
keenan
spends
half
his
time
driving
through
the
neighborhoods
just
to
try
to
determine
if
it's
safe
enough
for
our
street
team
to
be
in
there
and
as
soon
as
we
feel
like,
we
can
do
that
safely.
We
head
back
in
over
the
last
year
you
heard
from
tiffany
that
the
racial
justice
coalition
had
done
this
research
and,
along
with
tiffany
and
her
team,
we've
talked
with
providers
who
run
these
programs.
We've
talked
with
city
and
county
staff
across
north
carolina,
and
we
identified
that
asheville
is
missing
this
particular
strategy.
G
So
I
want
to
lay
out
a
three-tiered
strategy
that
we
learned
from
charlotte
as
kind
of
a
comprehensive
approach
to
preventing
gun
violence.
That
will
illustrate
this
gap
for
us,
so
so
the
first
tier
is
prevention
work.
So
that's
your
youth
development
programs
and
community
mentoring.
We
have
that
nashville.
We
have
keenan
in
his
program.
They
need
more
robust
funding,
but
we
do
have
that
I'm
going
to
skip
to
the
third
tier,
which
is
the
longer
term
response
to
violence.
Those
are
re-entry
programs
and
restorative
justice.
G
So,
as
a
director
doing
community-based
work,
I
typically
tell
my
staff
to
always
remove
themselves
from
any
situation
in
the
community
if
they
feel
unsafe.
However,
a
community
health
worker
who's
focused
on
violence
interruption
is
told
to
go
to
that
violence
to
mediate
conversations
with
the
most
at-risk
people.
So,
in
order
to
do
that
safely
and
productively,
asheville
providers
require
training
and
ongoing
support
from
one
of
those
evidence-based
models.
G
We'll
need
investment
from
the
county
from
the
city
from
other
grant
sources
to
ensure
that
the
program
is
fully
funded
and
reaches
those
outcomes
we
desire
what
is
critically
important.
What
we've
learned
from
being
in
community
is
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
lead
to
mistrust
in
the
community.
One
of
those
pieces
is
providers
showing
up
to
do
things
and
then
funding
goes
away
and
providers
leave
and
and
there's
just
this
burnout
from
that
kind
of
cycle
happening.
G
If
we
address
gun
violence
with
one
of
these
programs,
we're
not
going
to
solve
this
in
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
This
funding.
We
need
to
be
ensured
that
this
is
going
to
carry
forward
far
into
our
future.
Otherwise,
we're
not
going
to
get
those
outcomes,
so
this
is
not
a
short-term
strategy
at
all,
but
that's
why
it's
going
to
take
all
hands
on
deck.
G
B
Thank
you
for
coming.
Thank
you
for
sharing
so
much
information,
the
longest
information
we
know
just
kind
of
looking
for
more
strategies
and
how
to
advance
the
work.
That's
been
done
any
other
questions
from
the
committee.
Any
comments,
further
discussion.
E
Well,
thank
you
both
for
the
work
you
do.
I
know
that
in
a
lot
of
our
conversations,
we've
been
talking
about
what
needs
to
come
next
and
whether
or
not
it's
a
concept
or
it's
a
reality,
and
when
I
see
the
work
that
groups,
like
my
daddy,
taught
me
that
my
sister
taught
me
that
and
also
operation
gateway,
which
is
philip
cooper's
new
work.
E
That's
not
concept,
that's
that's
the
boots
on
the
ground,
that's
the
relationships
being
built,
and
that
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
resources
and
a
lot
of
heart.
So
I'm
really
thankful
for
the
folks
in
our
community
who
are
doing
that.
What
I
heard
today
is
a
need
for
space
that
our
young
people
need
a
place
to
be
to
have
that
sense
of
belonging
and
for
funding
that
isn't
going
to
be
turned
over
every
single
time
that
a
pilot
ends
but
opportunity
for
longevity.
E
So
we
can
go
beyond
the
surface
and
establish
some
deep
roots,
and
the
reason
I
brought
up
the
durham
model
is
because,
in
talking
with
elected
officials
from
durham,
it
took
them
a
year
to
get
from
the
place
of
freezing
the
positions
to
moving
through
the
strategy
with
community
to
identifying
the
needs
to
making
the
job
listings
to
making
the
post.
For
that
long-term
strategy.
E
It
took
time
and
it
took
intention
what
are
you
seeing
as
a
potential
opportunity
or
are
ways
that
we
might
be
getting
in
our
own
way,
whether
when
it
comes
to
space
and
funding,
have
you
been
able
to
identify
any
of
those?
G
I
think
the
this
space
issue
is
is
absolutely
something
that
I
hear
from
kenan
a
lot
about.
You
know
he
shared
with
me
some
of
the
feedback
he
got
after
the
d
review
event.
A
couple
weeks
ago,
some
of
the
parents
said
to
him.
You
know
it
was
just
really
nice
to
let
my
kids
be
outside
running
around
and
feel
safe
in
that
moment
with
that
group
being
out
there,
that's
incredible
that
people
aren't
feeling
like
they
can
even
go
outside.
You
know
most
of
our
communities.
G
There's
there
is
like
playground,
equipment,
there's
picnic
tables,
people
can't
use
them
because
they
don't
feel
safe.
So
so
yes,
there
there
is
a
space
need.
I
know
you
know
this
is
where
kenan
really
can
talk
more
about
his
space.
He
has
the
programming
and
he
has
space
at
the
mall
right
now,
but
a
more
useful
space
for
him.
I
know
it's
something
critical
I'd.
Let
him
talk
about
that.
I
need
to
speak
for
you.
D
So,
thank
you
jackie.
So,
yes,
miss
ronnie.
That's
that's
one
of
the
greatest
needs
we
do
know
and
I've
had
conversation
with
several
people
about
space
for
a
very
long
time.
We've
been
trying
to
find
space
for
a
long
time,
and
this
is
specifically
just
that
my
daddy
taught
me
that
program,
but
you
know
when
you
think
about
the
future.
D
What
our
kids
deal
with
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
program
is
so
successful
is
because
we
have
provided
a
safe
space,
like,
like
jackie,
said
for
our
youth
to
who
trust
the
process,
who
trust
what
we
do,
who
trust
that
you
know
things
are
going
to
be
good.
What
we
have
been
proposing,
you
know
is
that
you
know
we
do
know
that
the
stevens
leads
the
reed
centers
will
not
really
like
them
offers
and
stuff
like
that.
D
There
are
rec
centers,
but
those
rec
centers
are
not
ideal,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
this,
because
those
things
close
in
around
2008,
we
have
a
generation
of
youth
who
pretty
much
haven't,
used
those
facilities
in
that
14-year
span
and
who
have
been
raised
outside
of
that,
and
so
they
have
no,
it
doesn't
mean
for
me.
Stephens
lee
was
my
everything.
That's
why
I
played
basketball,
that's
where
my
dad
was
at
and
so
stevensley
meant
something
different
than
it
does
to
the
kids
in
this
generation.
D
You
know
those
those
facilities
can
be
open.
That
just
doesn't
mean
that
kids
are
going
to
actually
go
because
they've
never
been,
and
so
why
would
they
go
now
over
in
montford?
You
know
when
we
visited
montford.
This
was
a
several
weeks
back
when
mr
richardson
came
through
there.
There
was
no.
There
was,
I
think,
one
kid
of
color
in
that
entire
facility,
and
so
you're
talking
about
you
know
places
where
that
have
been.
You
know
not
only
gentrified
but
are
no
longer
being
used.
I'm
sure
you
guys
know
this.
D
D
Necessarily
need
to
be
programming
five
or
six
days
a
week.
It
would
be
a
place
for
youth
to
come,
come
and
hang
out
come
and
build
and
have
something
to
do
again.
One
of
the
challenges,
I
feel,
what
is
bad
in
nashville
is
because
our
kids
have
nowhere
to
go.
They
have
nothing
to
do.
There's
again,
there's
no
dave
and
busters.
There's
no
go-carts,
there's
no
fun
depot
anymore.
You
know,
there's
nothing
for
our
youth
to
be
skating
rings.
D
I
mean
you
know,
there's
nothing
and
so
providing
a
outlet
providing
a
place
for
our
kids
to
congregate,
go
safely
and
one
of
the
things
that
our
kids
are
tired
of
are
being
in
places
where
they
have
to
feel
jackie
alluded
to
this
feel
like
okay,
we're
going
to
go
to
this
party
we're
going
to
go
to
this,
but
it
might
get
shot
up.
You
know
something
some
some
act
of
violence
may
may
very
well
be
expected
to
happen,
and
so
creating
an
atmosphere
where
they
don't
have
to
worry
about.
That
is
ideal.
B
I
agree
with
you
kanan,
but
but
he
here's
a
challenge
to
me.
Your
program
is
is
excellent,
but
it
doesn't
appeal
to
all
children
there.
So
if
there
needs
to
be
multiple
programs
that
create
multiple,
safe
space
for
for
our
children
to
be,
it
seems,
like
that's
half
the
battle,
but
we
know
the
greatest
influence
in
a
child's
life
happens
at
home
and
I
think
that's
what
the
greatest
battle.
One
of
greater
battles
is
right.
B
Now
we
give
them
these
pro-social
activities
in
a
program,
and
you
know
we
give
them
all
the
skills
and
the
love
and
the
nurture
that
they
need
in
this
space,
but
they
still
have
to
go
back
home.
They
have
to.
They
still
have
to
go
back
to
the
neighborhood
they
have,
they
still
have
to
go
back
to
family
influences.
So
how
do
we
do
both?
How
do
we
create
and
escape
and
then
also
safety
in
their
home
and
in
their
immediate
environment?.
D
The
idea
for
that
the
idea
for
that
assistant
mayor
is
this,
so
give
me
a
perfect
example:
fun
depot
was
on
the
market
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
that
that
building
they
sold
that
building.
That
building
is
huge.
That
space
has
enough
space
for
multiple
organizations
to
be,
but
it
also
has
a
commercial
kitchen.
It
also
has
a
lot.
So
what
you're
talking
about
is
the
end
game
right?
D
That's
the
dream
to
really
be
able
to
get
these
kids
first
of
all,
either
out
of
the
communities
which
the
violence
is
perpetuating
itself,
so
they
won't
be
subjected
to
that.
We
know
that
again,
a
kid
can
come
to
my
dad.
He
taught
me
that
monday,
to
monday
wednesday,
friday
and
even
do
work
on
on
saturday,
but,
like
you
eloquently,
we
stated
that
kid
has
to
go
back
home,
that
kid
is
going
to
be
subjected
to
whatever
it
is
that
they're
walking
back
to
either
in
their
home
or
in
their
community.
D
The
only
way
that
I
know
how
to
do
this
is
if
we
get
community
involved
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
this.
So
if
the
kids
come
typically
parents
come
if
we
have
a
place
for
our
youth.
So
let's
just
say
we
have
a
place
where
our
youth
are.
They
have
again
like
the
fun
depot
building,
there's
a
commercial
kitchen,
so
we
have
people
in
there
making
food.
D
What
my
idea
was
was
that
we
have
some
of
our
local
vendors
who
have
food
trucks
come
into
that
space
they
cook,
then
you
have
the
kids
who
have
food.
You
have
parents
who
will
come
and
eat.
You
start
creating
things
synergy
around
that.
So
when
you
have
parents
you
have
the
kids,
you
have
the
community,
then
you
start
building.
Then
you
start
adding
different
components
to
that,
and
so
you
have
the
community
being
involved.
D
You
have
the
parents
being
involved
and
then
that
way
you
can
start
having
other
entities
and
start
reaching
our
parents.
We
know
that
these
things
are
happening
in
your
home.
How
can
we
help
you
either
find
funding?
Then
you
start
having
that
protocol,
the
the
that's
the
social
worker
and
me
coming
out.
You
start
reaching
them
that
way.
D
It's
never
going
to
be
built.
In
my
opinion.
Until
we
start
getting
the
youth
access
and
then
buying
from
the
families,
we
know
that
our
families,
our
parents,
some
not
all,
we
know
the
struggles
that
they're
dealing
with
just
like
one
of
the
things
that
we're
dealing
with
in
hillcrest
now
is
this
I
think
terrell.
Is
there
right
now
we're
in
hillcrest
two
to
three
times
a
week
with
our
elderly
and
all
these
others
have
have
you
know
their
their
kids
live
there
and
the
kids
grandkids?
Are
there
part
of
the
issues?
D
Are
that
none
of
the
old
people
or
none
of
the
older
people
want
to
come
out
of
their
homes
because
of
the
what's
happening
with
the
violence?
If
we
can
start
bridging
that
gap
and
again
start
having
those
communities
take
ownership,
the
old
people
want
gardens.
They
want
to
do
this,
okay,
fine!
We
can
have
a
space
for
that.
How
about
the
younger
kids
want
to
have
access
to
like
block
parties
or
events?
D
We
wanted
that
we
were
talking
about
having
a
having
a
projector
come
and
having
a
green
on
the
screen
on
the
green
type
event.
It
has
to
be
centered
around
the
community.
What
they
want,
but
then
having
the
buy-in,
but
then
also
again,
my
thing
is
this,
and
this
is
just
this
is
not
me
speaking
for
the
team.
D
I
want
to
be
able
to
have
our
communities
come
out
of
those
communities
simply
because
of
this
one.
We
know
that
again,
the
communities
that
we're
trying
to
help
and
save
and
that
with
all
the
violence
takes
place,
that's
what's
happening.
It's
going
to
be
nothing
but
violence
being
bred.
You
know,
and
this
we're
putting
individuals
and
youth
right
back
into
that
again.
It
is
what
it
is.
That's
what
people
have
to
live.
That's
the
people
to
stay,
but
we
also
know
that
downtown
asheville
has
nothing
for
particularly
people
of
color.
D
How
about
we
start
doing
things
to
get
people
out
of
those
communities
to
enjoy
asheville
as
a
whole.
Our
first
come
here
and
enjoy
it
as
a
whole.
Why
can't
the
natives
enjoy
it
as
a
whole?
Why
can't
people
of
color
enjoy
it
as
a
whole,
but
then
we're
starting
to
build
bridges,
we're
starting
to
allow
the
outsiders
so
to
speak,
who
want
to
get
involved
or
want
to
help
come
back
in
and
help
we,
I
think
jackie
said
this
better
than
anything
it
has
to
be.
D
B
Which
begs
a
larger
question
like
how
is
our
tourism
development
working
against
us?
In
this
instance,
we
know
that
there
is
a
certain
attraction.
They
attract
middle-aged
white
women,
you
know
and
that's
their
target.
Their
target
is
not
to
enhance
or
develop
to
develop
any
type
of
experience
for
the
family.
B
So
when
you
have
that
that
disconnect
then
the
families,
the
communities
don't
benefit,
but
if
there
was
a
turnaround
and
how
we
think
about
our
tourism
philosophy,
it
should
serve
the
families
and
the
community
just
as
much
as
it
attracts
people
into
our
community.
Then
we
have
a
different
story.
I
went
down
to
waynesville,
which
is
the
closest
roller
rink.
There
is,
and
when
I
tell
you,
it
looks
like
the
overhead
was
low,
I
mean
it
didn't,
look
like
much
was
put
into
it.
B
It
looks
like
maybe
it
looked
like
something
that
is
a
low-hanging
fruit
for
just
one
of
our
industries.
Here,
like
our
brewers,
they
could
easily
invest
in
something
like
that.
A
young
man
came
to
the
last
city
council
meeting.
He
had
another
brilliant
idea,
and
this
is
not
a
multi-million
dollar
thing.
You
know
he
was
talking
about
a
water
park,
I
mean
there
there's
low-hanging
fruit,
we
just
have
to
want
it
and
we
have
to
give
them
a.
B
Why,
and
I
do
believe
we
have
a
strong
why
we
just
have
to
go
to
the
table
and
start
having
these
conversations.
Every
need
that
you
mentioned
here,
mr
lake
and
miss
latex
and
miss
in
haunted
show
I
don't
believe
it
is
impossible.
B
Where
is
the
housing
authority
here
and
it's
not
to
target
the
housing
authority
or
to
speak
into
those
stereotypical
narratives
about
housing
authority
when
we
start
to
make
advancements
in
housing
authorities,
I
believe,
then
we
we
begin
to
make
deeper
strides
into
what
we
do:
the
lack
of
trust
building
safety
networks
that
are
not
only
in
our
programs
that
are
an
escape
away
from
our
housing
environments,
but
creating
safety
within
our
within
immediate
neighborhoods,
and
I
believe,
it's
possible.
B
We
continue
to
hear
in
this
meeting
that
community
members
really
believe
that
the
residents
of
these
communities
are
not
the
ones
who
were
inflicting
the
increase
on
our
communities.
You
know
there
are
people
outsiders
coming
in,
that
are
breeding
violence.
So
how
do
we
start
to
have
these
hard
conversations?
Yes,
it's
going
to
be
uncomfortable
if
we
control
access.
Yes,
it's
going
to
be
uncomfortable
if
there's
more
police
presence.
Yes,
it's
going
to
be
uncomfortable
when
our
elderly
began
to
stand
up
with
proper
backing.
B
To
say
enough
is
enough,
but
I
do
believe
that
we've
reached
several
turning
points.
Every
time
that
there
is
a
killing,
people
are
ready.
They
want
to
connect,
they
want
to
join,
they
want
to
volunteer,
they
want
to
see
something
happen,
and
I
just
believe
that
you
know
collectively
collectively
we
dropped
the
ball.
B
So
I'm
glad
that
you
all
are
here.
I
know
that
our
our
law
enforcement
leadership
have
been
involved.
They
probably
share
a
lot
of
frustration.
You
know
from
from
things
not
advancing
when
they
need
to
advance
and
us
having
been
hamstring
so
many
times,
because
people
we
don't
have
the
trust
that
we
should
have.
But
if
trust
saves
lives,
then
how
do
we
build
the
trust.
E
E
I
hear
a
lot
from
students
about
them
asking
me:
do
you
know
what
it's
like
to
grow
up
in
beer
city,
usa
and
their
responses
that
they've
offered
so
generously
have
deepened
my
understanding
about
that
sense
of
not
having
a
sense
of
place
and
belonging
when
it
comes
down
to
opportunities
for
those
places?
E
I
wonder
if
from
today's
presentation,
if
it
might
be
possible
for
a
step
forward
for
us
to
put
this
in
a
formal
way,
a
recommendation,
whether
it
be
to
planning
and
economic
development
or
something
to
consider
for
future
bond
programming
what
it
could
look
like
for
the
city
to
be
a
partner
in
a
facility.
I
imagine
partners
at
the
table
could
include
dogwood
health
trust,
the
tourism
development
authority,
the
city
and
the
county
coming
together
to
acquire
that
space
and
make
sure
that
it's
ready
for
the
long
haul.
B
Any
other
comments
from
the
latter
part
of
our
discussion
jacket,
awesome
light
bulbs
along
for
you,
tiffany.
F
But
if
we
look
back
me
as
someone
who
lived
in
nashville
as
a
youth
or
come
to
asheville
as
a
youth,
there
was
more
than
one
thing
to
do.
Like
wright
park
was
functional
to
skate
usa,
it
was
in
weaverville,
but
we
got
there
like.
That
was
functional
the
all
in
all
it's
havoc
of
like
we
don't
want
kids
going
there,
but
there
was
continuously
things
to
do,
and
there
was
partnerships
from
city
of
asheville
and
other
youth
programming
that
created
more
than
just
one
space.
F
So
if
it's
not
keenan's
program,
there
was
another
program
like
there
has
to
be
this
continuous
approach
and
that's
really
about
building
capacity.
In
the
same
way,
we
build
all
these
breweries.
We
need
to
be
thinking
about
how
we're
building
space
for
our
youth
and
the
people
that
live
here
and
have
lived
here
for
generations.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
share
that.
B
Then
you
could
go
to
sliding
rock
and
I
went
to
every
single
recreation
summer
recreation
program
from
montford
to
weaverville
like
every
each
year
I
chose
a
different
location,
even
if
it
was
away
from
the
neighborhood
I
lived
in.
They
were
just
multiple
opportunities.
Even
if
you
were
a
athlete
there
were
opportunities
there
for
those
students.
B
If
you
were
an
artist,
there
was
just
a
lot
going
on,
but
I
think
the
barriers
now
as
opposed
to
to
then
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
are
influential
in
community
and
have
a
heart
for
children
who
no
longer
can
afford
to
live
here.
So,
let's
think
about
you
know,
your
life
is
one.
I
don't
know
if
you're
mating
for
the
mic
to
be
on,
but.
E
So
I'm
curious
deborah.
Maybe
you
can
help
us
fill
in.
I
know
we're
talking
about
future
funding
streams
like
whether
or
not
we'll
be
looking
at
a
dedicated
funding
stream
for
transit.
What
kinds
of
things
would
be
on
the
ballot?
Where
would
be
a
next
best
place
for
folks
to
come
together
or
to
send
information
around
future
funding
strategies?
Bond
programs,
for
example,.
H
So
we're
just
you
know,
kind
of
hopefully
we'll
be
finalizing
a
budget
process
tonight,
and
I
think
it
is
what
rachel
is
going
to
talk
about
in
terms
of
creating
a
work
program
for
not
only
public
safety
but
for
finance
in
nhr,
where
we
would
be
thinking
about
what
are
our
future
capital
needs
or
what
are
our
future?
H
Just
overall
funding
needs
to
move
forward,
but,
but
I
do
want
to
to
reflect
back
on
some
things
that
have
been
have
been
said
if
vice
mayor,
if
I
could
get
the
time
and
hopefully
came
that
responds
to
your
question,
I
think
it
is.
I
think
it's
some
committee
work
that
that
needs
to
be
done
to
assess
our
financial
capability
to
take
on
more
debt.
H
I
mean
it's
literally
as
simple
as
that
and
to
determine
all
of
the
other
competing
needs
that
we
have
for
sidewalks
for
drainage
improvements
for
for
those
you
know,
they're
they're
numerous,
and
I'm
not
saying
that
to
say
or
to
suggest
that
public
safety
needs
to
be.
H
You
know
kind
of
looked
at
holistically
because
we
think
sidewalks
street
lights,
all
that
add
to
community
safety
and
so
that
that's
our
approach
with
reimagining
we're
reimagining
public
safety
to
address
the
needs
of
the
whole
person,
and
vice
mayor
knows
whenever
we
have
kind
of
our
one-on-ones.
My
conversation
is
about
the
whole
child.
If
we're
talking
about
youth
issues,
we
have
to
address
the
whole
child.
We
have
to
address,
like
you
say
it,
the
schools,
the
all
of
their
experiences
and
whether
that
is
solely
a
responsibility
of
the
city.
H
Absolutely
it
isn't
and
that's
why
we
need
the
partnership
of
a
jackie
and
a
kingdom
and
a
tiffany
in
order
for
us
to
do
this
and
all
the
non-profits
that
are
doing
admirable
work
in
this
space.
So,
lastly,
I
will
say
that
when
I
first
came
here
as
as
your
city
manager
kenyan-
and
I
had
lots
of
conversations
about
about
this
issue,
we
we've
made
progress
in
terms
of
connections
with
people
or
non-profit
in
florida.
That
is,
that
is
help
kingdom,
but
all
of
the
centered
around
space.
H
Where
can
we
kind
of
host
the
things
that
are
needed
to
expand
this
effort?
We're
continuing
to
have
those
conversations
and
I
think,
over
the
next
couple
of
months
we
may
have
some
more
possible
ideas
about
a
path
forward
in
terms
of
of
working
to
see
if
we
can
find
that
additional
space,
but
again
we're
still
just
pursuing-
and
this
is
almost
a
combination
of
three
or
four
years
of
conversations
around
around
this-
this
important
issue,
but
yeah
I'll
I'll,
stop
there
and
help
out.
B
You're,
just
fine,
and-
and
I
take
you
that
from
this
conversation,
more
ideals,
ideas
will
come
and
I
do
believe
you're
exactly
right
deborah,
as
these
ideas
come
up,
we'll
have,
to
you
know,
shoot
them
to
the
appropriate
committee,
but
just
like
the
our
response
to
crime
has
been
a
coordinated
effort.
I
do
believe
that
the
prevention
of
crime
and
making
sure
space
programming
outlets
for
our
children,
that
has
to
also
be
a
coordinated
approach
too,
and
some
of
it's
just
not
within
the
city's
wheelhouse.
B
But
we
have
to
from
this
conversation
we
have
to
figure
out
what
we
can
handle,
what
we
can
manage
and
what
we
just
need
to
probably
advance
by
convening
conversations
with
the
proper
authorities
and
funders,
so
that
we
make
sure
that
the
children
within
our
city
and
their
families
are
served
because
not
only
the
children,
but
it's
our
the
families
as
well.
B
So
I
have
some
ideas
and
and
and
thank
you
councilwoman
rony
from
for
driving
it
into
like
how
do
we
take
this
conversation
into
an
actionable
item
that
we
can
have
a
conversation
about,
so
that
we
can
yeah
see
some
fruit?
So,
thank
you.
All.
We've
had
a
really
robust
conversation
and
we
have
one
more
agenda
on
the
item
so,
for
the
sake
of
time,
wrote
we'll
move
on.
Thank
you
for
our
guests.
Being
here.
B
C
Thank
you
vice
mayor
and
as
deborah
mentioned.
Actually,
the
powerful
conversation
that
was
just
had
is
is
an
excellent
segue
into
discussing
the
need
to
have
a
little
more
intentionality
around
how
we
structure
the
work
of
council
committees,
ultimately
to
ensure
we're
achieving
those
intended
outcomes
set
forth
in
your
strategic
priorities
and
set
forth
in
your
vision.
So
today
we're
going
to
give
just
a
quick
overview
of
the
process,
we're
going
to
be
going
through
over
the
next
several
months
to
develop
work
plans
for
each
of
the
council
committees.
C
That
will
then
inform
work
of
staff
and
formwork
of
advisory
boards
and
then
also
inform
how
we're
adding
non-profit
boards
nonprofit
agencies
to
the
conversations
and
planning
in
advance.
What
we're
going
to
be
discussing
at
future
committee
meetings
again
to
make
sure
we're
tying
back
to
that
ultimate
intended
outcome
in
the
instance
of
this
committee
to
further
public
safety
across
the
community.
C
C
The
city
council's
strategic
priorities
each
year
inform
how
council
committees
should
focus
their
energy
and
focus
their
dialogue
throughout
the
year.
Annual
work
plans,
once
established,
will
serve
as
a
useful
tool
to
help
plan
for
and
better
organize
the
work
of
city
council
committees,
as
well
as
city
staff
and
advisory
boards
and
committee
work.
Plans
can
then
provide
specific
assignments
to
those
advisory
boards,
which
will
ultimately
inform
future
policy
recommendations
made
by
the
council
committees
back
to
the
full
city
council
for
consideration
next
slide.
C
Please
so
this
obviously
the
city
council's
vision
is
the
broad
overarching
aspirational
state
that
we
would
like
the
community
to
be
in
the
city's
vision,
I
believe,
was
established
in
2018,
along
with
the
city
council's
focus
areas,
and
those
focus
areas
were
intended
to
provide
a
little
more
specificity
in
how
specifically
we
could
achieve
that
aspirational
vision.
And
then,
each
year
the
city
council
establishes
during
their
retreat
the
strategic
priorities.
C
How
can
we
ultimately
move
the
needle
to
achieve
those
intended
outcomes
established
in
our
focus
area,
vision
and
our
vision
for
the
community
next
slide?
Please
so
operationalizing
those
strategic
priorities
is
really
how
we
see
work
plans
being
that
tool,
not
only
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
on
the
right
things,
but
also
to
establish
a
communication
mechanism
so
that
we
can
report
back
progress
to
city
council
as
a
whole,
as
well
as
the
community
and
council
committees,
on
on
the
progress
that
we're
making
to
ultimately
address
and
achieve
those
intended
outcomes.
C
So,
at
a
very
simple
definition,
the
committee
work
plan
identifies
what
should
be
done
to
actualize
the
priorities.
So
that's
that's
the.
What
is
the
committee
work
plan
and
then
the
advisory
boards
and
staff
work
plans
we're
actually
developing
departmental
and
organizational
work
plans
right
now,
as
well,
really
focus
on
the?
How?
C
How,
specifically,
are
we
going
to
achieve
these
strategic
priorities
that
we
can
then
report
back
policy
recommendations,
potential
programs,
initiatives
in
the
instance
that
was
just
described
it
might
be
facilities
and
looking
at
a
longer
term
bond
program
that
we
would
then
bring
back
recommendations
for
the
committee
to
consider
to
provide
feedback,
potentially
send
information
back
to
staff
and
ultimately
develop
a
final
recommendation
that
the
committee
would
then
take
forward
to
full
council
for
consideration.
So
this
is
just
to
add
some
structure
and
some
intentionality
around.
C
How
are
we
going
to
use
this
upcoming
fiscal
year
to
ensure
that
we
are
are
doing
all
that
we
can,
within
the
space
of
community
safety,
to
really
move
the
needle
in
several
key
priority
areas?
C
Next
slide,
please
so
just
to
further
delve
into
the
work
plan
concept.
As
I
mentioned
each
year,
city
council
establishes
their
strategic
priorities
typically
during
the
council,
retreat.
Those
priorities,
inform
council
committee
work
plans
which
outline
key
areas
of
focus
throughout
the
fiscal
year
and
then
from
those
work
plans.
Specific
assignments
on
programs
projects
policy
areas
are
then
made
to
advisory
boards,
as
well
as
to
staff
to
research
and
work
through
during
the
fiscal
year.
C
The
council
committees
will
use
that
feedback
from
the
advisory
boards
from
other
community
groups
who
report
back
to
develop
policy
recommendations,
and
then
those
policy
recommendations
will
ultimately
be
considered
by
the
full
city
council
next
slide.
Please
so
really
simplistic.
Example:
you
have
the
strategic
priority
in
the
upcoming
fiscal
year
of
reimagining
public
safety.
C
This
would
be
the
committee
that
would
be
the
primary,
but
certainly
not
the
only
committee
that
would
be
focused
on
that
strategic
priority
area
and
so
from
there.
There's
work
currently
underway
to
work
on
the
noise
ordinance
review,
and
I
know
ben
woody
and
his
team
are
working
with
the
noise
advisory
board
to
review
the
impact
of
decibel
levels
permitted
in
the
noise
ordinance.
C
Once
there's
dialogue
had
with
the
committee,
then,
ultimately,
the
city
council
would
consider
those
decibel
level
recommendations
and
potential
revisions
to
the
noise
ordinance.
So
that's
just
a
very
simple
example
of
how
this
flow
and
structure
is
being
envisioned.
Currently
next
slide,
please
so
next
steps
we
actually
made
a
similar
presentation
last
week
to
the
housing
and
community
development
committee.
C
While
we
really
need
all
of
the
committee
work
plans
working
in
concert,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
again
that
we're
achieving
the
intended
outcomes
of
the
strategic
priorities,
we
are
looking
at
piloting
the
hcd
committee
to
develop
a
work
plan
in
concert
with
several
of
the
advisory
boards,
including
ahack
and
hayak,
as
well
as
some
of
the
arpa
funding
recipients.
Just
to
think
through.
C
E
Yeah
just
a
couple,
so
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
we're
looking
at
sort
of
like
our
ongoing
agenda
item
list
and
putting
that
into
like
an
action
plan?
I
right
now
see
one
that's
missing.
That
was
in
our
minutes
from
today
that
we
approved,
which
is
the
request
for
future
information,
a
report
on
emergency
preparedness
related
to
food
systems.
E
In
our
action
plan
we
already
have
a
actual
bunk
and
food
action
plan,
but
I
wonder
if
that
makes
the
most
sense
to
put
into
a
bucket
of
climate
justice
initiative
and
neighborhood
resiliency
scores.
E
C
So
we'll
have
this
a
little
bit.
Thank
you
for
that
question
and
and
that
what
you
raised
is
is
an
excellent
point
that
none
of
the
strategic
priority
areas
are
mutually
exclusive
to
any
specific
city
council
committee
and
there's
going
to
be
overlap
amongst
all
of
them.
C
So
part
of
the
approach
that
we're
looking
at
is
first
taking
the
topics
that
we've
already
received
from
city
council
through
committee
conversations,
as
well
as
other
community
dialogue
and
looking
at
how
do
we
map
that
out
throughout
the
year
and
then
bringing
that
back
to
you
to
react
to
so
taking
feedback.
We've
gotten
from
previous
committee
meetings
from
city
council
meetings
and
other
discussions,
potentially
budget
workshops,
for
example,
and
and
looking
at?
How
do
we
knit
that
together
to
align
to
the
strategic
priorities?
C
And
it
may
be
to
your
point,
council,
member
roni,
that
you're
discussing
items
that
pertain
specifically
to
neighborhood
resilience,
as
well
as
to
reimagining
public
safety
and-
and
you
may
hear
from
different
advisory
boards
to
that
point
as
well,
based
on
the
projects
and
initiatives
that
they're
working
that
are
aligned
to
those
priority
areas.
But
immediate
next
steps
are
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
the
the
existing
planned
items
for
upcoming
city
council
committee
agendas
and
try
to
plan
out
the
next
several
months
based
on
those
topics.
C
E
Okay,
well,
thank
you
for
that
clarity,
and
in
that
case
I
will
say
that
on
our
agenda
today,
I
didn't
see
sort
of
that
list
for
future
agenda
items
to
include
this
so
I'll.
Just
restate
the
request
for
climate
justice
initiative
and
neighborhood
resiliency.
E
Additionally,
I
think,
with
our
comprehensive
plan,
having
interwoven
equity
being
a
key
theme
for
this
committee
to
review
the
public
safety
core
services
with
an
equity
lens,
regularly
reviewing
outcomes
to
make
sure
that
that's
what
we're
getting
out
of
our
services
to
the
public,
I
think,
would
need
to
be
part
of
our
work
plan.
C
Okay
and
so
we'll
we'll
note
that-
and
we
will
include
that
in
the
list-
and
I
know
jenna
is
working
on
pulling
together
that
comprehensive
list.
So
I
apologize
that
that
the
climate
justice
item
was
missed,
but
we
will
certainly
have
that
incorporated
into
what
we
bring
back
for
this
group
to
react
to
prior
to
finalizing
the
work
plan.
Excellent,
thank
you.
So.
E
A
We
do
have
one
person
in
the
speaker:
queue
caller
ending
in
2266.
Your
line
is
open.
I
Hi
this
is
grant
millen
and
I
have
introduced
the
idea
of
a
housing
authority
of
city
of
asheville
livability
study
and
it's
fine
to
bring
up
what
happened
with
the
safety
and
justice
challenge,
work.
That
was
3.5
million
dollars
from
the
macarthur
foundation
alone,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
total
budget
has
been
up
to
today.
I
But
when
you
look
at
the
bunkum
section
of
the
macarthur
safety
and
justice
challenge
website,
you'll
see
that
there's
a
dip
in
the
crime
issues
that
are
affecting
asheville's,
african-americans
and
all
of
us
related
to
coven,
but
that
the
incarcerations
of
asheville,
of
african
americans
in
in
pumpkin,
county
and
anyways
is,
is
opt
for
whites
for
european
folks
background.
Folks,
it's
gone
down,
so
I'm
all
for
things
improving
for
folks
living
in.
I
I've
looked
at
the
the
simplicity
data
base,
the
apd
simplicity
database
and
looked
at
the
the
crime
trends
for
some
of
those
public
housing
sites,
and
it's
really
disturbing
because
it's
also
about
missing
persons
and
runaways
and
that
that's
scary,
when
you
when,
when
we
haven't
surfaced
that
whole
picture-
and
I
I
I
have
to
be
involved-
a
volunteer
observer,
unpaid
observer
with
the
safety
and
justice
challenge-
and
that
didn't
happen.
But
I'm
interested
in
what
folks
like
kenan
are
doing.
I
I
never
I've
never
heard
his
name
before,
and
exposing
the
rest
of
the
population
in
asheville
to
his
work
would
be
valuable
and
I,
but
but
but
we
need
a
asheville
public
safety
strategy
that
is
about
the
whole
picture
here
about
the
illegally
manufactured
fentanyl
deaths.
That
is
something
that
we
can't
have.
That's
not
three
to
four
years
out
the
outcomes
there
have
to
start
shifting
faster
than
three
to
four
years
deborah,
but
I'm
I'm
interested
in
in
this
part
of
it
and
we're
going
to
have
to.
G
B
Thank
you
to
our
caller
for
calling
in
that
is
all
for
our
meeting
today.
Unless
there
is,
there
are
any
comments
from
staff
or
committee.
It
was
a
lot
discussed
and
we
didn't
really
open
it
up
to
the
rest
of
the
staff
members
who
are
here
with
us.
B
All
right
being
none,
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
