B
Good
morning,
I'm
vice
mayor,
shanika
smith,
the
chair
of
boards
and
commissions
committee,
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
you
all
to
the
november
9th
remote
meeting.
All
council
committee,
members
and
staff
are
participating
virtually
to
help
our
audience
follow
along
I'll
state.
Each
section
of
the
agenda
aloud.
B
We
are
streaming,
live
on
our
virtual
engagement
hub,
which
is
accessible
through
the
virtual
engagement
hub
link
on
the
front
page
of
the
city
website.
We
also
have
an
option
for
the
public
to
listen,
live
by
phone
for
those
who
are
out
there
with
us
today.
Welcome
for
today's
meeting.
We
have
the
option
for
people
to
call
in
and
comment
live
during
the
meeting
to
call
in
and
comment
live
use.
B
B
A
B
D
B
B
On
the
line,
okay,
we'll
move
on
to
new
business,
our
november
appointments.
We
have
three
separate
committees
or
boards
to
appoint
today,
alcoholic
beverage
control
board.
We
have
two
vacancies.
We
have
a
lot
of
wonderful
applicants,
a
lot
of
people
well-versed
in
the
alcohol
and
beverage,
the
alcohol
and
beverage
industry,
but
the
board
chair
recommends
the
reappointment
of
max
haner
and
me
and
avery
any
comments
or
recommendations
from
the
committee.
D
B
Yeah,
so
I
think
the
recommendation.
The
push
for
accepting
this
recommendation
is
that
the
board
is
so
small
and
has
lost
so
many
people
over
time.
B
That
continuity
is
very
important
so,
with
I
think,
two
new
members
being
just
appointed
and
one
being
mr
knee
and
avery
that
continuity
is
very
important
just
because
of
the
business
matter
of
the
board,
so
based
on
that
recommendation
from
both
the
board
and
the
staff
liaison
will
follow
through
with
that
recommendation.
Unless
there
is
another
motion.
C
B
C
He
is
a
bulwark
in
the
community
and
I
would
just
like
further
discussion
from
each
of
you.
But
of
course,
if
the,
if
there's
a
motion
in
a
second
I'm
happy
to
move
forward.
D
B
It's
an
until
next
year
later
in
into
next
year,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
and
I
believe
that
is
the
board
chair,
jan
davis.
B
B
D
Is
kim
I'm
just
glad
that
we
have
some
options
to
choose
from
here,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
applied
for
this
alternate
seat,
because
we
don't
always
get
reckoned
or
application
for
this
board,
or
sometimes
it's
hard
to
come
by.
So
I
did
see
that
we
have
an
applicant
from
outside
of
the
city
limits.
D
D
C
B
Okay
with
the
motion,
the
second
wrong
call
vote
for
approval
counseling,
mostly
I
I'm
foreign.
I
myself,
I
for
the
appointment
of
andrew
gerard
for
the
board
of
adjustment,
alternate
seat,
we'll
move
on
to
homeless
initiative
advisory
committee.
Sarah,
can
I
get
a
little
information
because
they
made
a
comment.
They
sent
a
comment
to
us.
It
reads
that
no
new
additional
appointments
being
be
made
by
council
at
this
time.
I
don't
quite
understand
that
we've
been.
D
B
A
And
it's
my
understanding
from
the
staff
liaison
that
they're,
the
committee
and
staff
are
recons,
are
looking
at
one,
their
bylaws,
but
two
and
two
the
structure
and
the
and
the
seats
of
the
committee,
so
as
they're
evaluating
and
looking
at
what
that,
what
that
could
be.
They
want
to
take
a
pause
on
the
appointments
at
this
time.
D
And,
as
a
liaison,
I
can
add
that
there
there
are
some
specific
seats
that
have
to
be
filled
on
the
homeless
initiative
advisory
committee
and
as
we're
making
these
shifts,
we
don't
want
to
miss
meeting
our
requirements.
So
that's
my
understanding
for
the
ask
for
a
pause.
We
also
have
an
issue
of
vacancy
for
one
of
the
city
appointed
representatives
that
hasn't
had
any
attendance
since
their
recent
reappointment.
D
B
A
And
I
just
want
to
confirm
we're
making
that
one
reappointment
and
keeping
that
seat,
that
second
seat
open.
D
E
Good
morning
I
am
happy
to
say
that
I
have
been
offered
the
full-time
position
as
director.
E
I
heard
that
I
had
lots
of
support,
so
I
want
to
thank
all
three
of
you,
ladies
and
sarah,
of
course
it's
my
ride
or
die,
but
I
want
to
thank
all
three
of
you.
We
got
a
lot
of
good
work
that
we
need
to
do.
It's
not
going
to
be
easy,
but
when
we
do
it
together
takes
a
village,
and
sometimes
it
takes
the
other
village,
so
really
excited
about
it.
So
I'm
really
about
deborah
clark.
Jones
of
tequity
llc
is
very
apologetic.
E
She
started
her
new
role
two
weeks
ago
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
she
is
deep
into
onboarding
at
duke
university,
but
we're
excited
about
some
of
the
results
that
we
got
back
from
the
survey.
E
A
E
C
E
Now
just
a
reminder,
I
cannot
see
your
head
shake
or
or
whatever
I
just
can
hear
you,
so
if
you
would
make
sure
you
verbalize
anything
that
I
need
to
stop
at.
That
would
be
great,
so
we're
going
to
give
just
a
general
update
about
the
responses
we
got
back
from
the
survey
for
the
community
reparations
commission
nomination
and
application
process
generally
outside
of
you
know,
folks
that
we
heard
that
were
against
reparations.
The
comments
were
very
positive
and
very
constructive.
E
So
we're
going
to
look
at
a
few
of
the
concerns
that
information
is
disseminated
broadly
and
we
have
really
been
working
since
we
put
the
survey
out
to
make
sure
we're
communicating
with
the
historically
impacted
neighborhoods
looking
at
ways
in
which
we
can
get
information
out,
not
just
electronically,
but
also
can
we
use
neighborhoods
to
do
that.
Can
we
pin
ourselves
onto
events
and
other
things
where
we
might
be
able
to
get
information
out
about
reparations.
E
They
looked
at
the
makeup
of
the
commission.
We
talked
with
our
city
manager,
devil
camera
last
evening
about
the
change
in
the
number,
and
she
will
be
updating
council
on
that.
We're
looking
at
responding
to
that
and
just
making
sure
that
you
guys
are
good
with
that,
because
I
thought
that
was
you
know.
We
didn't
see
that
being
a
thing
that
we
couldn't
do
so
we're
looking
at
increasing,
possibly
definitely
increasing
the
neighborhood
number
and
reducing
the
impact
area
experts.
E
Now,
one
of
the
things
our
city
manager
really
focuses
on,
and
we
do
too
is
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
do
have
expert
folks
in
in
those
areas
of
economic
development,
education,
housing,
criminal
justice
and
health
care,
and
they
want
to
make
sure
all
black
voices
are
heard.
That
is
something
I
go
home
every
night
and
think
about,
and
so
I
have
some
ideas.
E
I
don't
know
that
any
community
can
say
that
they've
heard
everybody,
but
we
will
make
sure
that
they've
heard
about
us
and
that
they
definitely
if
they
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
technology
or
other
ways
that
we
can
get
them
through
our
community
associations
or
other
groups
in
the
community
to
make
sure
that
they
have
their
voice
heard
so
we're
very
sensitive
to
that
they
want
to
under
so
they're
talking
about
broad
distribution
of
the
application
and
the
nomination
forms
I'm.
E
I
can
be
about
85
sure
that
most
people
know
we're
doing
reparations,
but
I
I
want
to
make.
We
want
to
continue
to
simplify
the
information
that
we
put
out
there
for
folks
so
that
they
understand
exactly
what
the
process
is
where
they
can
get
applications
applications
will
both
be
electronic
and
paper
versions.
We
we're
definitely
looking
at
those
with
challenges,
so
we
asked
about
that
in
the
application
technology,
child
care,
transportation
and
they're.
Definitely
they
mentioned
having
compensation
for
the
commission
members
and
there
is
compensation
for
commission
members.
E
We
talked
about
that
about
a
month
ago,
so
we
want
to
simplify
some
of
the
language.
Tequity
has
worked
on
that
to
make
sure
that
the
language
is
not
overly
daunting
for
people
that
they
can
really
understand.
What
we're
asking
for
and
we'll
make
sure
that
on
everything
that
they
receive,
there's
a
contact
information,
so
they
can
call
in
case
they
have
additional
questions.
E
Another
thing
was
consider
support
services
for
commission
members,
and
we
will
do
that
focus
area.
Experts
should
be
required
to
have
a
commitment
to
reparations.
If
you
remember
the
update
from
deborah
clark
jones
of
tequity,
she
mentioned
that
we
do
ask
about
cultural
competency
training.
You
know.
Why
would
you
want
to
be
a
part
of
this?
What
are
your
reasonings?
What
do
you
bring
to
the
table
those
types
of
things,
but
we
also
don't
want
to
defer
other
voices
so
that
way
we
have
a
diversity
of
opinions.
E
There
should
also
be
more
representatives
from
impacted
neighborhoods,
so
we
we're
addressing
that
there
should
be
more
representatives
from
public
housing
communities.
I
actually
am
meeting
with
public
housing
today
and
we're
going
to
get
a
meeting
next
week
with
the
residence
councils
as
much
as
we
can
to
talk
with
them,
talk
them
through.
How
would
you
like
to
do
this
process?
What
can
we
do
to
help
support
you,
and
then
they
were
talking
about?
E
Why
are
endorsements
needed
for
neighborhood
nominations,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
know
is
that
this
reparation
is
about
black
asheville
and
the
people
who
have
traditionally
been
more
like
historically
been
impacted,
have
been
african-americans
and
we
have
pocketed
some
neighborhoods
that
were
here
more
than
50
years
ago,
that
I
know
some
some
are
no
longer
here.
Some
are
are
still
intact
and
then
struggling
to
survive.
E
So
that's
why
we're
taking
those
nominations?
Also,
you
know
it
it's
different.
When
you
serve
on
the
board,
when
you
just
apply
as
yourself,
then,
if
you
have
the
support
of
your
neighborhood
and
your
community,
and
so
we're
hoping
that
that
creates
and
and
that's
also
a
transparency
for
them,
who
I
nominate
is
who
the
council
will
approve,
and
so
they
will
help
us
to
make
sure
that
these
people
are
accountable
for
attending
the
meetings.
E
E
They
want
the
process
to
be
focused
on
listening,
particularly
to
elders,
I'm
excited
to
say
we
met
with
the
county
last
week
and
we're
going
to
partner
with
them
doing
this
application
process
to
start
back
on
the
listening
tour,
we're
going
to
work
with
the
library
one
of
the
folks
from
the
communications
and
public
engagement
at
the
county
has
done
a
lot
of
work
with
the
library
and
listening
to
these
stories,
and
we
want
to
video
them
and
we
want
to
go
to
the
communities
where
these
people
live.
E
So
we're
going
to
be
working
on
that
identify
a
community
historian.
I
know
of
at
least
three,
so
I've
been
reaching
out
to
people
to
consider
you
know
applying
as
the
impact
area
experts
to
be
a
part
of
the
commission
if
they
will
consider
that
we
are
definitely
using
qr
codes,
we're
actually
looking
at
those.
E
So
we
have
to
check
with
planning,
but
we
want
to
put
out
like
you
know
how
you
go
down
our
street
and
you
see
that
there's
a
public
meeting
coming
and
they
put
out
those
those
h
frame
signs.
We
want
to
put
those
in
strategic
places.
E
So
that
people
know
they
just
have
to
you
know
swipe
the
qr
code
or
we'll
put
the
website
on
there
or
a
phone
number
where
they
can
call
and
know
more
about
how
to
get
access,
because
people
sometimes
just
have
general
questions,
even
if
they
don't
apply
for
the
commission
and
then
a
short
time
frame
for
public
comment.
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
that
means.
But
we
will
take
public
comment
between
this
time
and
we
will
take
public
comment
through
all
of
the
process
until
we
have
the
final
report
to
city
council.
D
This
is
kim
or
brenda
where
you
meaning
to
present
the
slot.
Should
we
be
looking
at
slides
right
now,
we're
on
the
first
slide.
D
E
Are
you?
Are
you
saying
it
now?
Yes,
okay,
I'm
sorry!
No!
It's
funny!
I
don't
apologize.
I
had
no
idea
if
the
other
one
was
moving
for
me,
so
maybe
I've
got
too
many
so
yeah.
E
So
I
think
I'm
here
they
want
us
to
broaden
the
area
for
from
health,
from
healthcare
to
health
and
wellness,
which
I
don't
see
a
problem
with
we're
going
to
be
talking
with
our
county
city
county
team
tomorrow
to
just
kind
of
finalize
some
stuff,
creating
a
video
of
the
overview
of
the
process,
so
I'll
be
talking
to
our
cape
team
and
the
cape
team
at
the
county.
E
Saying
about
doing
that
so
that
we
can
keep
that
out
there
during
the
time
that
we
are
working
on
it's,
because
even
when
people
apply
and
we
set
the
commission,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
continually
understanding
what
the
process
is
and
then
make
support
resources
available
during
the
application
and
nomination
submission
process
and
we're
definitely
doing
that
we're
meeting
with
all
the
communities
I
mentioned
before.
E
We
met
with
the
legacy
communities
we're
going
back
around
to
meet
with
them
again
before
the
final
selections
are
made,
and
they
need
any
help
with
that
and
then
any
persons
that
are
doing
applying
as
expert
area
folks
for
either
the
city
or
the
county.
We
have
meetings
three
meetings,
already
information
sessions
already
set
up
starting
the
november
18th
we're
going
to
look
at
doing
the
application
sometime
between
the
15th
and
18th
they'll
be
out
there.
We
will
definitely
put
some
information
out
on
the
15th
and
then
on
november
18th.
E
Basically,
this
is
our
process.
You
know,
neighborhood
groups
are
going
to
receive
a
package
they're
going
to
determine
their
nominees.
These
groups
will
work
through
whatever
process
they
would
like
to.
We
just
know
that
whatever
that
final
number
is,
they
have
to
give
us,
we
can't
have
one
more
than
that,
so
they
will
submit
to
one
two
or
three
nominees
for
that
and
then
council
will
receive
those
right
after
december
22nd
when
it
closes.
E
E
E
Here
we
go
so
we're
still
on
the
trajectory.
We
are
looking
at
at
some
point
next
week
between
the
15
to
18,
getting
the
nomination
pack.
It
out.
We've
had
a
little
kink
with
seamless
docs,
so
between
sarah
and
myself,
it
and
tequity
we're
looking
at
what
would
be
the
best
process
for
us,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
electronic,
as
well
as
in
paper
form.
The
nominations
are
still
due
on
december.
E
D
No
no
worries
so
because
I
wasn't
able
to
see
the
whole
presentation
and
it
wasn't
in
our
documents
for
today's
meeting.
Could
we
just
upload
that
to
the
boards
and
commissions.
E
Absolutely
and
I
do
apologize,
it's
been
that
kind
of
it
ain't
even
been
a
week,
but
it's
been
that
kind
of
day
and
a
half.
So
I
do
apologize
nothing
out
of
the
ordinary
generally
things
that
community
people
say
you
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
doing
sufficient
outreach
and
between
public
input.
E
On
the
city
side,
we
have
public
input.
We
have
neighborhood
services,
all
of
the
techniques
that
we
are
using
to
get
out
to
the
community,
making
the
video,
I
believe,
our
site
on
our
side.
The
cape
person,
our
media
specialist
dan,
should
be
available
in
about
a
week
to
start
working
on
this
and
the
video.
What
we're
doing
does
not
have
to
be
a
person
saying
anything.
E
We're
just
gonna
put
information
out
there
so
that
people
know
what
they
need
to
do
so
we're
gonna
get
that
out
there
and
on
the
county
side
they
have
significant
outreach
in
terms
of
like
the
markets
in
town,
just
different
events,
we're
trying
to
tag
on
to
stuff.
Not
people
come
people
coming
to
extra
stuff,
because
I
don't
know
about
you.
E
It
gets
dark
at
5,
30,
6
o'clock,
so
older
people
do
not
want
to
come
out
and
go
across
town
to
go
to
a
meeting
so
we're
looking
at
naval,
I'm
going
to
neighborhood
meetings.
I'm
already
talking
to
folks
about
we'll
have
some
town
meeting
on
monday
jeanne
bill
who
antoinette
just
mentioned.
Priests
previously
is
hosting
the
south
side.
Community
meeting,
I
just
great
news
they're
doing
community
planning-
I
was
at
their
meeting
two
weeks
ago,
went
very
well.
E
E
Oh,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
talking
and
the
mic
is
off
sure
I'll.
Send
that
to
you
people
I
mean
you
know
we
were
reaching
out
to
people
initially
because
well,
not
yeah
myself.
I
was
helping
deborah
clark
jones
tequity,
with
reaching
out
to
people
because
we
needed
local
facilitators.
We
wanted
people
in
our
community
who
are
known
for
education
for
economic
development.
E
There
was
some
hesitancy
because
I
think
people
don't
know
what
they
get.
I
think
it's
generally
people
don't
know
what
they're
going
to
be
expected
to
do.
Although
she
was
very
thorough
and
you
know-
and
people
we
try
to
tell
people
how
much
time
they're
going
to
spend
being
on
boards
and
commissions
and
it
and
and
you
you
really
can't
tell
people
what
that's
going
to
look
like,
but
nothing
negative
and
the
people
that
dwight
mullen
was
going
to
be
a
facilitator.
I'll
give
you
an
example.
E
He
talked
with
deborah
clark
jones
of
tequila
and
she
was
like.
We
are
wasting
him
being
a
facilitator.
He
needs
to
be
a
commission
member,
so
he
will
be
applying
to
the
city
to
be
a
commission
member.
I
believe
in
the
area
of
education,
and
so
you
know
we're
just
kind
of
don't.
I
haven't
heard
anything
negative
now.
If
there
has
been,
I
haven't
heard
it
and
then
I
think
people
are
honored
to
be
asked
because
I
don't
think
they
thought
about
it.
E
You
know
that
way
and
then
some
of
the
people
we
asked
are
just
too
busy.
One
person
just
took
a
new
job.
They
just
don't
have
the
time.
C
Then
my
other
question
is-
and
we
discussed
this
previously-
you
know
how
you
mentioned
that
areas
used
to
be.
You
know,
historically
black
neighborhoods.
You
know
I'm
thinking
of
where
my
dad
grew
up.
That
street
is
literally
not
there
anymore.
C
Have
we
figured
out
a
way
to
include
folks
who
may
have
been
harmed
by
urban
renewal
or
even
their
descendants,
but
because
of
gentrification
or
the
expense
living
in
the
city?
Have
we
figured
out
a
way
that
they
can
be
included?
E
I
got
you
so
one
of
the
things
I
found
amazing
about
living
in
asheville,
and
I
just
want
to
lift
up
that,
although
most
of
us
have
out,
as
african-americans,
have
been
impacted
by
urban
renewal
at
some
point,
even
in
my
own
neighborhood
growing
up,
we
also
received
a
rich
history
from
our
parents
and
our
grandparents
and
their
parents
about
what
the
past
was.
E
I
called
mr
ben
oliphant
who
lives
in
the
hill,
the
heart
of
chestnut
hills,
and
I
spent
an
hour
talking
to
he
and
his
wife,
and
you
know
there
was
no
like
big
tension
in
his
voice.
He
just
gave
me
a
history
lesson,
so
part
of
that
is
the
neighborhoods
that
are
historically
impacted,
even
though
you
know
you
got
people
that
live
in
shiloh.
They
grew
up
in
stockton,
folks,
that
grew
up
in
stockton,
moved
to
east
end
and
then
the
they
they
know
all
the
people
who
moved
away
like
like.
E
If
you
go
to
stevens
lee
alumni,
they
know
everywhere
every
my
mom
and
dad
knew
where
every
one
of
their
classmates
were.
I
couldn't
even
tell
you
what
my
classmates
are,
but
we're
gonna,
really
those
oral
histories
encouraging
people
to
apply
for
the
commission,
encouraging
making
sure
that
information
gets
out
to
people.
Many
videos
that
we
have
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do
is
highlight
people
giving
information
about
their
communities.
E
I
actually
got
a
call
yesterday
from
a
gentleman
whose
mom
was
written
about
in
the
color
of
asheville.
He
lives
in
chicago
he's
65.
E
So
this
this?
This
is
it's
a
lot
of
hard
work,
but
it's
great
work
because
I
love
hearing
about
histories-
and
I
know
your
dad
has-
has
passed
away,
but
he
has
children.
He
has
family
members,
he
has
people
who
can
speak
for
him
and
don't
forget.
We've
had
a
lot
of
people,
miss
andrea
clark,
sasha
mitchell,
a
bunch
of
people
who
have
done
some
amazing
work
and
then
the
work
that's
been
put
in
the
north
carolina
room.
E
I
forgot
the
new
librarian's
name
but
they're
all
on
point
to
help
work
with
us
and
then
we
have
our
county
partner.
Who'll
be
working
with
us
as
well,
and
I
hope
that
helps
and
if
you
have
other
ideas
or
something
we
didn't
think
about
or
you
meet
somebody
and
you're,
not
quite
sure,
we've
contacted
them.
Please,
please,
let
us
know.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
we're
we're
working
at
it,
I'm
excited
about
it
because
it's
an
opportunity-
and
you
know
sometimes
I
said
this
many
years
ago,
elder
hayes-
was
on
a
diversity
committee
admission.
I
mean
it
must
have
been
15
years
ago
and
I
never
forget
telling
the
mission
people
because
I
mean
you
know.
Sometimes
you
you
get
in
the
room
and
people
start
talking
and
they
get
upset.
I'm
like
they're
emotional.
This
happened
to
them.
E
You
know
it
happened
to
their
family
and
there's
not
been
a
moment
when
somebody
said
kim
what
happened
to
you
like
what
was
your
life
like
growing
up,
and
I
know
it
was
hard
for
my
dad,
but
my
dad
and
my
uncle
sit
around
and
they
talk
about.
You
know
sharecropping
and
all
the
kind
of
stuff,
and
I
never
hear
the
bad
stuff.
I
just
hear
so-and-so
is
lazy.
We
caught
him
doing
this
or
you
know,
there's
this
guy.
E
E
You
know,
and
you
know,
I'm
proud
to
say
my
grandmother
couldn't
read
my
mother,
my
grandmother
went
to
church
and
she
read
her
bible
as
best
she
could
and
she
raised
10
children,
and
so
I
got
a
good
legacy
and
that's
what
I
want
people
to
see,
but
I
also
want
people
to
tell
what
did
happen
to
you.
We
went
to
an
elon
law
symposium,
an
internet
participant.
It
was
amazing
and
we're
going
to
call
some
of
those
folks
as
subject
matter
experts
because
they
didn't
record
it.
E
Unfortunately,
it's
a
student
project
thing
they'll
have
more
materials
out
in
february,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
locally
is
because
we
know
the
people
locally,
who
are
impacted.
Then,
when
the
federal
government,
you
know
decides
to
do
something
by
hr
40,
then
we'll
know
the
people
who
were
impacted
in
our
region
in
specific
so
and
this
is
an
ongoing
process.
I
want
people
to
hear
that
this
is
not
one
and
done.
Gonna,
do
this
it's
over.
When
we
give
you
the
final
report,
then
the
work
really
begins.
E
C
In
case
you're
wondering
or
if
you'd
like
to
look,
I
know
my
dad
did
hours
of
recording
for
that
unc
asheville,
that's
great
yeah.
E
We're
gonna
be
partnering
with
unc
asheville
a
lot
of
folks.
This
is
gonna,
be
awesome,
thank
god
for
digital.
So
can
I
answer
any
other
questions.
I
really
appreciate
this
time
to
come
and
update
all
of
you,
and
this
is
this-
is
a
partnership.
This
is
a
collaboration,
we're
a
team,
and
so,
if
you
have
any
comments,
suggestions,
anything
we're
here
to
listen.
B
Brother,
this
feels
really
good
and-
and
thank
you
for
even
giving
your
personal
history
here.
I
think
people
need
to
hear
that
connection
that
we're
all
connected
to
this
piece
of
history
and
thank
you
for
your
report
as
well,
because
what
you
reported
back
from
the
surveys,
it's
a
lot
of
the
primary
concerns
that
people
have
and
they
have
a
right
to
have
concerns
about
this
process,
because
so
many
broken
promises
have
been
made
over
the
years.
B
So,
but
I
do
have
a
suggestion,
because
this
kind
of
overlapping
thanksgiving
break
they're
going
to
be
a
lot
of
community
thanksgiving
gatherings.
I
know
the
eddington
center
is
having
a
large
one.
It's
not
in
person
this
year.
I
think
they're
going
to
do
maybe
a
pickup,
but
they
feed
people
beyond
the
south
side
community.
B
I
don't
know
how
many
meals
they're
preparing,
but
maybe
we
can
prepare
an
effort,
then,
and
then
then
see
what
other
community
organized
events
they're
having
around
thanksgiving,
because
we
normally
try
to
feed
the
entire
community
or
have
some
type
of
festivity
where
everybody
can
be
involved.
So
I'll
keep
my
ears
out.
I'm
gonna
keep
my
ears
open
and
just
kind
of
reach
out
to
see
what's
going
on
around
there,
maybe
churches
who
are
reaching
out
to
families
during
the
holidays.
B
But
but
I
know
the
south
side
community,
which
you
kind
of
reported
that
they're
doing
a
thorough
outreach
there,
but
I
know
that
they're
doing
something
around
thanksgiving,
probably
the
day
before,
but
I'll
give
you
the
exact
date
and
time,
but
it
sounds
good
and
it
feels
very
good.
This
is
all
about
the
healing
process.
Even
you
reporting
was
reporting
back
to
us
and
and
making
a
plan
around
what
you've
heard.
That
feels
good
right.
E
And
I
did
not
mention
that
in
a
denominational
ministerial
alliance,
I've
been
working
with
them.
I
actually
say
coleman,
who
kind
of
leads
south
side
rising
with
the
south
side
community.
He
listed
all
the
13
churches
in
the
south
side
because
they
said
they
were
13
and
I
was
like
where
and
so
I'm
getting
ready
to
do
a
campaign
because
I
think
outreach
is
good
and
we
want
to
go
to
neighborhoods.
E
But
if
this
is
not
something
you
do
every
day,
you
kind
of
need
some
support
to
figure
out
so
when's
the
best
time
to
bring
stuff
to
your
congregation
right.
We
don't
want
them
to
have
to
drive
and
take
anything,
but
three
of
the
major
churches
in
town
gave
out
survey
and
we
picked
those
up,
and
so
that
was
very
helpful.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
continues
to
happen.
So
thank
you
so
much.
C
E
Holler
at
me,
but
this
this
will
be
good.
We're
gonna,
launch
everything
next
week,
I'm
going
to
try
to
look
through
the
plan
today
and
in
the
morning
working
with
our
city
team,
and
I
just
expect
good
things
and
when
we
don't
get
good
things,
how
about
we
make
it
better.
E
D
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
kim.
I
have
one
question
and
I
just
want
to
lift
this
up
from
community
members
who
expressed
this
concern.
I
think
I
heard
it
mentioned
like
addressed
a
little
bit
in
the
presentation,
but
a
concern
that,
because
the
harm
was
for
urban,
rural
and
redlining
was
participated
in
by
the
government,
there
may
be
a
lack
of
trust
that
the
city
of
asheville
is
the
one
doing
this
outreach.
D
E
You're
asking
I'm
not
quite
sure
what
you're
asking
so
I
unders,
I
know,
walk
the
walk.
I
am
a
recipient
of
the
information
from
the
rachel
justice
coalition
and
a
bunch
of
others.
So
it's
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand,
because
we
do
want
to
include
all
voices.
D
E
E
I
understand
that
people
don't
trust
government.
The
government
is
who
provides
your
services.
Has
the
resources
to
kind
of
do
this?
That
doesn't
mean
the
government's
the
only
person.
That's
why
we're
increasing
neighborhood
representation,
where
you
as
a
council,
will
be
screening
these
experts,
so
to
speak
in
the
impact
areas
and
the
equity
company
is
a
project
manager.
E
We
don't
give
people
information
that
we
want
them
to
tell
you
we're
giving
them
enough
resources
because
you
got
to
realize
reparations
is
legal
matter,
so
you've
got
to
have
the
experts
and
the
resource
and
the
real
information
to
combine
with
what
actually
happened
in
asheville,
and
how
was
I
impacted
and
do
we
think
that's
a
remedy.
That's
going
to
help.
You'll
have
half
community
say
one
thing
half
another,
so
definitely
all
groups.
E
E
He,
the
ymi
director
and
miss
kyles,
who
works
with
the
zeddick
foundation,
and
a
couple
of
others
have
met
with
her
and
she
will
continue
to
meet
with
them
and
we
want
to
identify
all
these
groups
because
beyond
reparations
and
everything
we're
doing
with
outreach,
why
not
use
this
for
everything
else
we
do,
but
why
we,
why
we're
gonna,
let
this
information
drop
and
then,
when
we
have
another
outreach,
this
is
a
way
to
continue
to
build
that
trust,
but
build
connection
to
me.
E
It's
about
connection,
if
I
don't
know
like
shanika,
can
tell
you,
everybody
can
tell
you
when
I
meet
you
and
you
tell
me
you're
doing
x,
I'm
like.
Can
I
get
your
name?
Can
I
get
your
cell
phone
number?
Can
I
get
your
email
and
I'll
text?
You
we'll
put
you
in
our
system,
I'm
actually
thinking
about
a
way
on
our
project,
page
and
other
places
to
have
people.
If
you
want
to
get
information
about
reparations,
put
your
information
in
there
so
just
trying
to
figure
out
what
what
looks?
E
Okay
to
people,
what
feels
good
to
people
and,
like
I
said
our
legacy
communities
and
the
ones
that
have
not
been
formed,
they're
getting
excited
about
it
because
they
realize
we're
going
to
be
listening
to
them,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
for
lifting
that
up
and
as
you
have
anything
like
like,
I
said
just
make
sure
that
I
know
if
we,
if
we
don't,
if
you
don't
know
if
this
group
is
involved,
it's
okay
to
ask,
I
definitely
can't
do
it
all
and
think
through
it
all.
So
I
do
I'm
sorry.
B
Brenda
I
love
hearing
that
in
in
my
my
thing
is
I'm
gonna
say
my
thing:
is
that
all
of
these
groups,
these
grassroots
organizations
who
are
out
spreading
information
about
about
reparations
and
our
process?
I
want
to
know
how
aligned
we
are
and
what's
that
level
of
cooperation,
so
that
when
we're
going
out
and
touching
the
lives
of
people
and
asking
them
for
information
asking
for
feedback,
I
want
to
know
that
is
a
concerted
effort
and
we
all
one
mind
and
sharing
information
so
that
we
can
really
vet
the
information.
E
Exactly
and
I
will
say
we
will
be
in
the
urban
news
in
november,
we
did
a
major
interview
with
tequity
and
the
urban
news,
so
that
should
be
coming
out
sometime
after
mid
november.
So
we're
really
excited,
and
you
know
we
have
I'm
not
sure
if
you
know,
but
we
have
mou
doing
some
work
with
wres
start
looking
for
radio
spots,
other
things
of
that
nature,
so
we're
going
to
reach
people
as
many
ways
as
we
can.
If
there's
something
we
haven't
thought
about.
Let
me
know,
let
me
know.
C
And
I
just
want
to
add
a
little
bit
around
the
discussion
of
how
is
harm
caused
by
the
government
and
the
government
doesn't
necessarily
might
not
be
the
best
position.
C
C
So
when
I
am
thinking
about
reparations,
I'm
thinking
about
my
family,
my
friends,
my
community,
and
so
I
think
I'll
just
take
the
opportunity
in
this
public
forum
to
say
that
I'm
not
thinking
of
myself
as
the
government,
I'm
thinking
of
myself.
Frankly
as
one
who
was
harmed
and
what
it
would
mean
if
certain
actions
were
taken,
you
know
what
it
would
mean
to
my
dad,
my
grandmother,
my
great-grandparents.
C
So
really
it's
like
we're
purposely
seeking
to
help
ourselves.
So
it's
not
so
much
the
government.
C
You
know
I
feel
like
we
have
an
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
the
position
we
hold
and
it's
historic
in
that
nature,
and
that's
why
I
feel
like
this
is
exactly
the
time
and,
quite
frankly,
give
us
a
call.
If
you
have
questions
email
us,
it
doesn't
have
to
go
through
the
bureaucracy.
I
can
see
you
at
church
on
sunday
when
you
talk
about
it.
B
Yes
and
it's
such
an
awkward
position
to
be
in
being
in
a
seat
of
you
know
a
governmental
seat,
but
also
having
your
feet
deep
in
a
lot
of
the
issues
and
being
able
to
talk
about
the
issue,
so
it's
just
an
awkward
place
to
be
in,
but
it
can
be
a
blessing
because
people
should
come
and
be
open
to
talk
to
us
about
how
to
move
this
thing
forward.
Communication
is
always
the
key,
and
I
see
that
communication
has
been
very,
very
helpful
in
this
process.
B
B
Last
on
the
informal
business,
we
have
a
notice
that
our
december
boards
and
commissions
meeting
will
be
cancelled
due
to
the
holiday.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
january,
11
2022.,
that's
the
last
for
business.
Are
there
any
people
in
sneaker
q
for
comment.
B
Right,
that's
surprising
if
there
are
no
more
comments
from
the
committee
or
staff,
just
village
meeting
see
y'all
later
bye.
