B

No chairlock there's nobody presentation.

A

And I'll see anyone in the conference room. Okay, all right.

B

No sorry Caroline.

C

A

All right, uh let's get into the old business, we were considering approval of administrative policies for flag display procedures in the flight display schedule so um Professor can't we ask staff report.

G

Today, um good evening committee members and, as you recall at our December 5th meeting, we reviewed a draft administrative policy for flag display procedures, and um this was the short-term solution to a resident's request for a flag to be flown stand with Asians flag. In light of the hate incidents against Asians that he felt was strong. He felt strongly to still bring awareness to, despite the media, not highlighting them.

G

As often as last year, the city manager recommended that the resident Kelvin Lee to meet with the idea committee back in October, which she did and we then brainstormed the short-term and long-term solutions for displaying additional or commemorative Flags in the city during November and December idea, committee meetings, and so, as you recall, the short-term process would have the idea committee to make recommendations to the city manager for any five requests that come through, and this would allow for the greatest expediency and to address any significant time frames related to the flag.

G

That's being requested and I will share my screens. So we can look at an updated flowchart. That was um with the help of Committee Member Carr. We have a new software I've learned about um to devise this flow chart. As you can see, the request is here received by the idea, staff, Ingrid and myself, and then preferably this would be six to eight weeks out, as we know now, for ordering flags that would be the safest so that we could have things in place when needed and when we would receive that request.

G

We would research whether or not this is a request that determines um a meeting for the idea committee and we would also provide a response to the requester within a week of getting their um initial request and if needed, then we would schedule a committee meeting with the idea committee within the month.

G

um If this, uh if the request from the resident would not be government speech or an expression that the city wanted to officially Express, then we would inform staff would inform the requester. But if the um request Falls in line with there being a proclamation that the city council has in the past adopted or passed, then that would be further consideration for the idea committee to make a recommendation to the city manager and then, um of course, if there hadn't been a proclamation, it doesn't mean that it would be um denied or anything like that.

G

But it would come to the idea committee to consider if there should be a proclamation that should be created for approval and presentation at the city council meeting.

G

um If not, then staff would again inform the requester, and basically we come over here to um the city manager, approving ideas, um recommendation and also, having that caveat, if there were any determinations made during the year for updating the flood schedule that that could be um done by the city manager.

G

um But in hopes of just having a understanding of what's coming, we thought it would be great to have a schedule in place. So we looked more. This was the policy administrative policy that we were viewed that hasn't changed the flag days. There was one adjustment um where we found that last year, National Fallen Firefighters Memorial weekend was um commemorated in the month of October, but they have since changed to the first weekend in May. So that was noted here. Everything else remains um the same as previous.

G

um So these are the five days on visitation.

G

um You've seen them out on these Marriott celebrations and holidays um lining visitation, and then there are six days out of the year that the pow Mia flag is flown and when it's flown it's directly beneath the U.S flag,.

G

um As expressed from previous meetings, the idea committees, definitions are part of the administrative policy, so that these are kept at the Forefront.

G

And we go to the lab display procedures which are outlined by month, um left hand side and then we're looking at the city hall flagpole and then the community park flagpoles as we're facing the sunrise Rams on the left hand, side and then the center, the tallest and the right hand side.

G

um So this was our attempt at creating a schedule for the entire year.

G

um Looking at uh previous um proclamations on, what's coming, um as you know, when we talked about the stand with Asians flag at the last meeting or a couple meetings we talked about, if we were able to get that flag um designed and received in time for the Lunar New Year, which begins this Sunday, that that would be flown for the number of days it's about a little over a week, um and this would be outside City, Hall and also um at the community park.

G

Then, as you can see, as we go into February, um we have Black History Month that there's a proclamation for that will be um scheduled to go before the city council again and so we're we've ordered the Juneteenth flag. If you um are familiar with that flag, it's um blue and red, predominantly with June 19 1865 on the side, and so that was actually received um earlier today and the thought was to um have that flag be flown um at the Cami Park and at City Hall for um February.

G

So we go down the schedule. There's um you know some months there's we wanted to make note of the half staff days um maze again, um where we'll see this down with Asian Spy Guys, it's um Asian, American, Pacific, Islander, Heritage, Month um May is also National, Police Week, and so um there is a um we had the Blue Line flag here um highlighted, but we were thinking and um speaking with a member of our Police Department earlier today, that the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial um flood would be flown for National, Police, Week foreign.

G

Let me bring up my staff report again or you can see that I shared and you can see that I'm sharing the um design of that. So here, if you're not familiar, looks like this. We haven't ordered this one yet, but um the hope is to do that and have it in time for National Police Week in May, um going back to.

G

um Let's see the schedule in June, we have a number of um commemoration, so we have the juneteen flag and what is um going to replace the current Pride flag is going to be the progress flag. This flag um has been flown at the county offices for the last at least year, and so it resembles um the prototify, but it also has the Chevron to um be more inclusive.

G

So we plan to order that flag in time for applying for mostly the month of June, for the exception of a week um when it's Juneteenth, as you can see, there's uh Flag Day, it's June 14th. So that's when the pow Mia flag will be flown and then it's from sunrise to sunset.

G

So then, when that one comes down on the public works department would put up the Juneteenth flag for uh number of days and then it would after the 20th, so June 14th, the 20th of June 18th flag would be flown and then it would go back to the progress flag since June is um pride month.

G

um I think those are the ones that I wanted to mostly mention um and highlight, and the rest is pretty much as we see um pretty standard so.

G

I'd like to see, if there's any comments from the committee members on the administrative um policy for flag display procedures and the schedule.

E

um I think this all sounds good and I agree with the decision to use the national law enforcement officer flag instead of the line flag um I.

E

My question is whether like if this policy will like how it will be shared with people, um I wonder if folks will like when they see the stand with Asian flag, be like wait what's what's this, how did it change and so I would just want to um if there's a way that it can be like easily accessible the policy in case you need a new flag and then they're like well I want to get a flag up, but like that, we're prepared for that I guess right.

G

um I think it would be prudent to share in uh maybe on our idea, landing page Brisbane state.org idea. We can have the administrative policy linked under supporting documents, as well as I would say the schedule for folks to um take a glance at and with the city council meeting tomorrow.

G

um I think I believe our current chair lock will be accepting a proclamation for Lunar, New, Year, and so that would be.

G

um I was thinking with that acceptance that that would be highlighted in the Friday blast and on socials and on our website we're thinking about changing out a um one of our home page Banner images to be a Lunar New Year um commemorative banner, and so there would be um ways for people to read about um the great uh the reasoning and the significance of the sandwich Asians flag, so that it's yeah people are probably going to see and wonder and want to maybe go to the website or socials and see what's what's new, what's the story with that, so yes, we're thinking about all those ways to um make sure residents are aware.

G

F

A

And uh would have worked for people to kind of go on the Brisbane idea, landing page to learn more.

G

That's a great idea.

G

That is uh definitely a link or button that we can um use anytime yeah. We have changes to our flags. People will want to learn more for sure.

G

We can have our flow chart too.

G

um So that's very clear for anyone who would like to request a comment that the Committee Member had recommended that this flowchart be made accessible so that people can access it and understand it and um I think it's you know. Flow charts can be a little um confusing to follow, but I I think this is uh with that software made pretty simplified when people can follow this fairly easily.

D

I, don't think it's confusing at all. You know great work Caroline. So thanks for doing that, um so uh just a couple of comments and I apologize for not having emailed this to you earlier.

D

One is the you know in the flow that, where the city that determines that there is no Proclamation and there does the IDF committee think a proclamation should be required uh created and if the outcome is no, the staff informs a requester. So here uh do you think we should provide reasoning similar to what the uh we propose to do. When uh the you know, the uh request is uh declined because it does not. uh You know because it does not.

D

Could it may not be government speech as in the previous flow, so here too, do you want to inform the reasoning why uh the idea committee does not think of new Proclamation should be created.

G

Right, yeah I just um have that same reasoning. There on the flow chart. Okay,.

A

Or uh accounting I think you could just drag that staff in the forms requester down and then Center.

C

A

Between the two, no.

B

D

True, just collapse that, because it's just one Floyd just the outcome is no either way so oh yeah or you could.

G

G

Oh I see I, see.

D

So so the no arrow goes in the opposite direction to the yes arrow and meets the other, no yeah. That's it.

G

Like does it have another arrow here? Okay,.

F

That makes sense.

D

F

D

Then the second Point here is: if uh the idea committee thinks a new Proclamation should be created, then, before the idea committee makes the recommendation to the city manager, do we want to include another? uh You know action there. That's where the city council creates the proclamation, because, as I recall, you know for any every flag request that is approved. A proclamation will be in place.

D

So if the idea commented things with new application should be created and the flagged up request approved, then there is one additional action where the city council passes. uh You know a proclamation.

D

For that particular request,.

G

Yeah I am so like right here at this juncture should be.

D

G

um um What the idea committee you want to like work on creating that I think mostly um like staff, does a lot of research on the proclamations. So um we can collaborate or what's the pleasure of the committee.

E

I, certainly trust you all to write a proclamation, not my area of expertise that.

B

Typically, staff takes the lead on um crafting the proclamation, but the request is sent to the mayor.

E

And I think if it's okay in the interest of expediency, um you know again I like I personally, don't have a need to I think if the idea committee is providing the context of like what the proclamation I think, that's enough guidance to then hand off.

F

E

But I you know, obviously whatever others want is.

G

A good add um to here and stuff uh uh works on a proclamation, something like that in that, in.

B

This and staff.

G

B

Yes, we could work on the wording of it, but staff, perhaps of proclamation and makes a request to the mayor.

A

Yeah I think you.

B

C

A

Have a wine where it doesn't say yes or no, that way, it's just a step that happens.

G

A

Before that one after this idea committee, so between eight those two.

G

Oh so like have, it stated here that stuff.

A

Will it's kind of like procedurally, what happens in.

G

A

After that, it goes to the next step.

G

Okay, so something kind of like similar to these things, not in any shapes, okay got it.

A

So I did have one question, though: um how long did the first flag take to come.

G

uh It actually didn't take as long as we thought, I think we were looking and budgeting like seven to nine weeks, but I believe it came within four okay.

A

G

That was for a custom um design, okay,.

A

Because then, um when you say preferably six to eight weeks before, that's not taken into account the one left schedule, the committee meeting potentially right.

G

A

uh Maybe we should just clarify that all right.

B

The last meetings you also mentioned that the idea committee meeting the idea committee can also meet as a special meeting right.

A

But then um on the flow traces within one month, so if we meet that could just mean like a regular meeting at that point. So with the idea committee be doing Special meetings. If it's a time crunch.

C

A

Case by case basis, then, okay, yeah.

H

A

Anyone else have any comments on the floor. Chart.

E

um I think my only other comment and I don't know that we need to include it is just if it is a custom flag. Is the onus on the requester to provide the design and like have it ready to go or is the um with the plan B that we would like look to see if there was already an existing one and like use that one? Unless there wasn't one and then we would ask them to design or just do we have?

E

Is it necessary to include that level of detail on this and do we have a perspective I.

A

Think we could just include that, in the form that they're filling out it doesn't have to be in the floater itself. Right.

G

I haven't thought about a form yet, but.

C

A

But yeah it would be a I'm guessing an online syllable and potentially a paper form that they can pick up at City, Hall.

G

Yeah I probably do that um Google farm and yeah have paper copies here.

G

Yeah, we would definitely want to um use an already created a logo or emblem just like in the case of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. um It was actually kind of hard to find a flag. That was the three by five size that we would um need for ordering, but it might be where it turns into. If I can't find something that will be able to be ordered through, say, um flag and banner, or a company like that that sells um Flags, then yeah. We might have to do a custom order.

G

But in that vein use the recognized um logos first, egg female.

A

And think that would be a lot back and forth between staff and the requester. So before.

F

A

Even hits the idea committee right.

G

I'll be in the six to eight weeks.

A

All right, well, I, don't have any other comments or questions about the flowchart and yeah. No one else, I think. Let's move on to the schedule and we'll see if anyone else has comments on that. Okay.

A

So is this schedule I'm going to be posted on the website.

G

Yeah I was thinking to include it on the idea page.

A

I think it um it'd be a good idea to kind of see how many flags fire poles. There are still confusing. um Reading like the U.S flag in the California state flag, that's always going to be up right.

C

A

um Except for June, the California state flag is in them and I guess February.

A

Is that the case or am I just reading it wrong? First city hall.

G

um Correct for city hall, because there's only the ability to fly two flags yeah, so the US flag, always and then these are the various ones that will be right below on these dates. Okay,.

A

Well, I think in that case we could probably just say that the U.S flag will always be flown and then, instead of listing both just with the second Pole.

E

A

Will be up yeah.

E

Like City, Hall parentheses, U.S flag, always flown the other ones, something okay,.

G

And then like removing like each of those from the top row of.

E

Each month, unless you did the same thing that you did with the community park and did like City Hall, one city hall, too, yeah.

A

E

G

A

Could work too.

A

G

I think I will um add a column and do it that way.

G

This might well right now it's a portrait, oriented um document, but it might become horizontal, we'll see.

A

Then, um for example, like the Ukraine fight, because I flown under the U.S flag is.

F

G

Currently is yes,.

E

Hopefully, it won't still be up at the end of the year.

A

Yeah I think um Kelly when you update this, for example, kind of like uh June 1st to the 14th. It just has Ukraine flag if you could just kind of listen, exactly which three flags- okay, just repeat yourself,.

G

um For the community part just yeah.

A

Kind of like just full out left.

G

Oh I see in the sound yeah.

A

Because then um it can be a little confusing because I'm not entirely too sure like like on June 1st there's a junctive is.

D

It just a U.S.

A

G

um At the community park, yeah.

A

So like uh six one to six fourteen yeah.

C

A

Guy looks like it's just a Ukraine fight, that's being flown.

G

Oh I see because it's on the row yeah.

A

Yeah I guess: okay, just small um and.

E

Then what you could do sorry, this is super nitpicky, but you could even do like create a fourth column for the community park, so that was like Center top and Center bottom.

G

Mm-Hmm, like we're doing for City Hall.

F

G

It a little bit more.

E

G

E

Position every flag that might have a position has a column and.

G

Then the dates will be per yeah row, that'll be more clear. Yeah.

G

Yeah I'll do that I think it's we're going to be a horizontal oriented. uh Let's keep talking for sure.

G

No, that's good great suggestions.

G

My is my video okay I.

C

A

No, it's freaking out yeah.

A

That's kind of creepy yeah.

G

Let me see, I, don't know, is it oh gosh? Did we just turn off my video? That's troubling.

G

G

You can still share I. Think there's no other comments. Do we uh are we taking a public comment? Do you know I think there's a member of the public in the meeting if they had any comments or questions, would this be the appropriate timing? Ingrid.

B

Yeah um our committee members finished with their questions, foreign.

B

If a member of the public would like to make public comment, please use the raise hand, function.

B

William, it looks like we have no public comment at this time. Okay,.

A

uh Then we can continue on okay, welcome, Rico glad you can all right. um Then, let's move on to wait. So are we gonna approve the ministry of policy um with the comments.

C

A

Let's do that um can I get a first-hand second to approve the ministry of policy for the flag display procedure and the flag display schedule with the.

D

A

That we're gonna have staff tricks before it gets posted on the website.

E

uh Yep I'll move first.

A

I'll, second, all right, thank you. uh Roll call please.

B

B

Well, maybe we could abstain at this before this vote. Okay, his audio isn't off. um Let's go on with um Horton aye whole head car, hi, Nida, hi, hi. Good luck! All.

A

Right all right, thank you. Everyone all right. Let's move on to tonight's new business uh election of a new chair and a new Vice chair, so for those who haven't been there before we cycle through this position once.

F

A

And that gives other community members an opportunity to take on the role of chair and vice chair um Ingrid. Would you like to kind of describe the functions of chair and vice chair for Christian in a miracle.

B

Yeah um the chair for the community generally is the main moderator for the meeting and.

B

They and staff kind of work together on the agenda before posting, and then we distribute that to the rest of the committee. Members.

B

The chair also kind of um will be kind of the figure, prominent figure or, if there's any kinds of City events. They can also be. The representative of the committee at that time and the vice chair can um will have to continue those roles and responsibilities when the chair isn't able to.

A

Thank gregorithm so.

A

I guess: community members have you guys know ideas? Did we discuss or go straight to nominations or.

F

Does anyone want.

A

F

A

Then we'll see you, the other community members wanted to nominate you, foreign.

A

I guess um I I guess I, don't know, I mean they Alex for chair here. That's okay! With her.

A

I think we need a just a secondary.

B

I'll need a second.

A

Thank you, my guess, all right, um the same one I want to take on the role of Vice chair. That's you step in if Alex is not available for a meeting or.

B

Oh, let's do a roll call vote. Oh.

A

B

Let me see if I can also ask Christian to unmute this time or.

A

Can he just uh use the chat or yeah.

B

I'm unable to reach him at this time- let's see, um but we could take the vote at this point accordingly, so we have um medium. Boosters is going to be abstaining, I mean remember: Horton hi call that Carr hi hi.

B

Good luck! All right! Congratulations!

B

Congratulations!.

A

Right does anyone want to be the vice chair.

E

D

I'd like to nominate Committee, Member Diane.

H

Oh I will actually.

C

I was going to nominate.

F

A

D

I'll go next term.

F

A

I think, next time you could be the chair.

D

Next year,.

A

Oh darnd, you want to be the vice chair.

C

H

C

Because there's gonna nominated um I.

A

Feel like this is day job we've lost here.

C

C

I don't know anyone else for suggestions, recommendations.

D

F

D

Other option would be uh anybody else interested about you, miyoko.

H

um Not for this next year, yet.

H

I guess you don't want to volunteer.

A

All right sure Horton. What should we do.

E

Oh I mean I can share Vice chair role, as has not for me it was not um particularly labor intensive, um but you know I think. If people don't want the role, then we need to respect that.

D

Yeah would you like to be Vice chair? Basically, then it would just be.

A

A swap, um fortunately I will not be able to do that. Okay, bigger than my love too yeah,.

B

You could share yeah.

A

G

This is actually.

A

Going to be my last meeting at on the committee I no longer qualified, because I did not live in Brisbane anymore, oh, oh yeah, so I would love to be the vice chair, but unfortunately, uh after tomorrow I will be resigning.

E

Sorry you're leaving us yeah uh day in the park, though yeah.

A

We will maybe when they uh stop by when you guys, are forced to go back into City Hall.

A

You've been doing I mean we've been doing great work already, so I just can't wait to see what everyone else is. Gonna do.

G

You find yourself back in Brisbane and there's open seats. You know what to do.

A

E

Or you think you're staying in the Bay Area yeah.

A

I'm I'm officially in San Francisco now.

F

A

Well, it's actually I'm not too far I'm right by City College, so it's very close, but oh technically.

F

A

Close to Richmond, but not very Spain yeah, unfortunately, I cannot um accept the role of Vice chair. So like just my guess, this might leave you.

H

D

H

Doesn't really want to do it then I'll elect mangesh of my chair.

D

That sounds like, uh but, and also I'd like to thank you William for everything you've done for the idea committee. uh You know got the ball rolling. You did a fantastic job as chair. You know in our very first term and I think we have made a lot of progress. So thanks again for all the contributions you know.

A

um Appreciate it.

A

B

It sounds like there is a motion from Diane to nominate mangesh, okay,.

A

B

Sounds like a second from miyoko. It's just a matter of oh my gosh.

A

Anyone, even though I think it's a democratic system.

D

Yeah so uh uh yeah I do accept the nomination. uh Thank you.

F

A

D

A

E

Oh sorry, um okay, sorry! So can we get a roll call.

B

All right you have a new chair now media member Bustos is uh still on mute. We have Community member call that car all right, lock, I Nida, hi Jose too I and chair Horton.

C

Chair Horton, oh.

B

E

See I oh yeah I said I I'm.

A

Sorry, congratulations.

H

A

For taking one for your team.

F

E

But I'm sure we can all do it together um all right. So then we go into staff reports. That's right!.

B

So I just wanted to make sure that the committee members have read the our the memo legal memos sent to the committee members on January 11th regarding Senate Bill 2449 and the conduct of meetings through February, 28, 2023 and thereafter.

B

So basically, the governor um has announced that he tends to lift the proclaimed covid-19 Statewide State of Emergency on February 28 2023, so the city is going to intend to return to primarily in-person meetings after that time so beginning with the meetings we started it already and as you can see, um it's a hybrid format at this moment through February 28th, the council, its commissions and committees will conduct your meeting remotely or in a hybrid fashion.

B

That's why Caroline's in the large conference room right now that is Council commissioner committee members and members of the public May attend meetings either remotely or in person. But after that date um you know starting March 1st. The general rule is that public meetings will be conducted as they were prior to the pandemic prior to March, 2020 and Council. Commissioner committee members attending meetings remotely will not be a common occurrence. The city clerk and the legal team will work. You know with committee members and Commissioners who wish to discuss these new Provisions.

B

So please take a note: um we'll have more information in terms of how it plays out administratively or logistically.

B

um You know we're still in the we're still discussing like the final details around like the logistics of it all, but so stay tuned for more. But in the meantime, if you want to also start attending idea committee meetings in the large conference room with Caroline right there with a nice background and paintings around you, um uh you could I feel free to do so, and then you could kind of get a feel for what it's going to be like before you return.

B

Kind of related to that is that the whole issue of term expirations, um so Committee, Member, Nida and Bustos have um their terms expiring by January 31st.

B

um And basically, because it's their initial term, they have the option to continue their appointment um to continue their appointment. Their initial continue their appointment without re-interviewing, so after that, they'll have be basically two-year appointments.

B

um So I heard back from Committee Member Nida and she would like to continue her her work in the media committee um and so I'll reach out again to Committee Member brustos to see um what he would like to do. And then we also will start recruiting for the open seat for for William's seat, and that will be a two-year.

B

They'll continue your term and.

C

B

Still have one more one more year on your term, so they'll continue your one-year term and then we'll see after that. If they'd want to get um to reapply and reappointment.
