B
All
right
well,
good
afternoon:
everybody,
I'm
dk
wesley
justice,
resource
council
advisory
council
chair
today
we
are
having
our
april
first
j-rack
meeting
glad
you
all
can
make
it.
I
see
folks
popping
in
and
popping
on.
I
think
I've
said
this
for
the
last
two
meetings,
but
hopefully
we
can
be
together
real
soon
and
we
won't
have
to
challenge
ourselves
with
technology
much
longer.
B
You
all
should
have
received
the
agenda
for
today,
as
well
as
a
couple
other
documents,
including
the
minutes
for
february
and
december,
so
hopefully
we'll
have
a
quorum
and
have
the
opportunity
to
adopt
those
review
and
adopt
those
today
vanessa.
I
will
wait
for
you
to
tell
me
when
we
have
a
form,
if
not
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
rest
of
the
agenda
today
we're
going
to
have
some
pretty
important
visitors
with
us.
We
have
community
representative
candidates
for
j-rack.
D
E
C
B
A
A
F
C
B
B
One
of
the
documents
was
the
february
minutes
and
I
think
it
also
had
december
minutes
as
well,
but
that
was
actually
april
fool's
since
the
day
was
april
fools
so
hopefully
all
you
all
were
able
to
review
the
december
and
february
minutes.
Did
anybody
have
any
issues
with
reviewing
both
sets
of
minutes.
A
C
F
I
B
J
L
K
L
We
did
have
we
started
with
nine
applicants.
We
had
a
couple
withdrawal
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
We
have
four
that
have
confirmed
for
today
and
one
who
may
still
be
able
to
join
us,
but
I
have
not
received
a
confirmation
and
we
asked
them
to
sign
on
at
12
45.
So
we
have
just
a
couple
minutes
before
they're
going
to
come
into
our
lobby.
Hopefully,
but
we
do
have
one
applicant
who
is
already
in
the
waiting
room
and
and
assume
she
is
ready
to
go
whenever
we're
ready.
As
a
group.
K
These
are
folks
that
are
already
there
in
the
community
and
what
we're
evaluating
for
is
just
who
would
be
best
best
fit
to
come
on
to
the
j
rack
and
serve
alongside
all
of
us.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
get
to
know
people
that
are
citizens
they're
interested
in
in
working
with
justice,
resource
services
on
the
advisory
council,
but
it's
also
an
opportunity
for
us
to
learn
from
people.
So
let's
keep
our
our
ears
open
so
that
we
can
hear
and
learn
together.
F
L
So
we'll
use
this
form
for
all
all
of
the
interviews.
You'll
use
the
same
you'll
stay
on
that
same
page
and
score
all
the
interviews
and
then
we'll
submit
after
all
of
the
interviews
are
complete
and
I'll
put
the
name
of
the
applicants
in
the
chat
so
that
you
guys
can
see
how
they're
spelled
and
enter
them
into
your
sheet.
K
All
right
and
after
we
have
after
we've
heard
from
the
interview
please
after
then
of
course
you
will
have
scored.
Then
we'll
have
a
little
bit
of
discussion
while
the
numbers
are
tabulated,
while
the
numbers
are
being
tabulated
we're
discussing,
and
then
we
come
to
a
decision
and
we
present
that
for
final
approval.
K
I
K
All
right
well,
like
we
said
in
the
in
the
email,
we're
grateful
that
you
showed
interest
in
serving
alongside
us
with
the
jrack
just
resource
advisory
council.
We're
going
to
ask
you
just
two
questions
and
we
just
want
you
to
feel
free
to
share
your
ideas
and
perspectives
with
us.
My
camera
might
go
off
while
I'm
reading
the
question.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
read
it
right,
but
don't
let
that
throw
you
off.
Okay,
awesome.
D
K
I
I
I
volunteer
at
the
prisons
and
the
jail
I've
been
in
the
hopes
and
voices
of
recovery,
which
was
through
buncombe
county
with
sarah.
You
know
sarah
from
the
detention
center,
so
I
think
that
I
would
just
bring
kind
of
a
lived
experience
and
be
able
to
bring
maybe
different
perspectives
of
some
of
the
things
that
I
went
through
while
incarcerated,
but
also
while
working
in
the
field
and
trying
to
like
give
back
to
our
community.
K
I
Like
someone
like
me
that
looks
like
me
or
that,
like
I'll
just
say,
I
represent
the
lgbtq
community,
I
may
have
had
a
different
experience
than
say
someone
else
from
another
culture,
so
I
think
again
just
like
the
lived
experience
being
able
to
kind
of
like
drop
into
being
there
and
then
also
just
hearing
and
working
in
the
field,
currently
being
able
to
hear
what
other
members
are
saying
that
are
going
through.
That
currently.
K
I
K
K
Ryzendorf,
yes,
did
I
get
it
julie,
reisdorf,
all
right,
all
right,
julie,
nice
to
meet
you
how's
it
going
very
well.
Thank
you.
That's
good!
Well
welcome
to
the
just
resource
advisory
council.
This
is
our
bi-monthly
meeting
and
we
appreciate
you
showing
interest
in
filling
one
of
the
seats
on
the
j-rack
for
community
representative.
K
Okay,
now
my
screen
might
go.
My
screen
might
change.
While
I'm
reading
the
questions,
I'm
gonna
throw
you
off
all
right:
okay,
julie.
The
justice
system
is
comprised
of
numerous
agencies
and
decision
makers,
all
of
whom
have
discretion
and
state
granted
powers.
There
is
not
alignment
among
all
justice
partners
regarding
which
approach
will
best
address
improvements
with
the
justice
system.
K
M
M
To
me,
the
system,
unfortunately,
is
disjointed
and
people
fall
through
the
cracks
and
to
have
a
council
that
has
all
the
different
parties
sitting
down
at
once
is
really
the
only
way
that
a
city
a
county
can
start
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
people.
Unfortunately,
every
problem
impacts
another
area,
the
homelessness,
certainly
impacts
law
enforcement,
mental
health
impacts,
law
enforcement.
M
So
unless
everybody
seated
at
the
table
is
trying
to
come
up
with
a
broad
measure
that
will
incorporate
best
practices
and
meet
the
needs
of
the
community,
and
I
believe
I
can
help
I'm
a
very
good
listener
and
even
though
I'm
fairly
new
to
buncombe
county,
we
moved
here
right
during
the
pandemic,
so
we
spent
our
first
year
and
a
half
sitting
on
the
couch
with
streaming,
but
I'm
very
anxious
to
get
involved.
We
retired
here.
This
is
our
home,
and
this
is
where
we
want
to
be
involved.
K
M
The
way
to
do
that
is
to
go
into
the
community
sit
down
in
the
community,
not
just
behind
a
desk
and
talk
to
people
and
find
out
their
perceptions.
Their
perceptions
may
not
be
accurate,
but
their
perceptions
are
their
perceptions,
and
sometimes
that
becomes
the
reality.
Whether
it
is
reality-
and
I
think,
by
sitting
down
with
different
groups
and
making
sure
they
feel
represented,
is
the
only
way
we
can
start
very
long
process.
K
M
Like
I
said
in
the
beginning,
I
have
a
broad
background.
I
think
a
lot
of
it
starts
with
law
enforcement,
because
that's
the
first
contact
people
have
with
the
system.
I've
trained
police
officers.
I've
been
there
so
that
I
understand,
I
think,
a
little
more
of
some
of
the
challenges
and
hopefully
that
can
bring
a
little
more
understanding,
because
until
you
have
law
enforcement
on
the
same
page
and
with
enough
funding,
because
all
the
problems
seem
to
come
down
to
money,
whether
it's
for
the
homeless,
whether
it's
for
mentally
ill,
whether
it's
for
the
police.
K
K
I
got
it
all
right
all
right.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
pronounced
you're
right
all
right,
well,
hi,
wendy,
welcome
to
the
justice
resource
advisory
council
meeting
and
thank
you
for
showing
interest
and
serving
alongside
us
on
the
council.
We
only
have
two
really
quick
questions
for
you
and
we
have
about
five
for
this
part
of
the
conversation.
K
So
I
want
you
to
just
answer
the
questions,
as
naturally,
as
you
can,
sharing
your
ideas
and
perspectives
with
us
and
then,
after
that,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
candidate
insider
meeting.
Okay
sounds
great
all
right,
so
the
justice
system
is
comprised
of
numerous
agencies
and
decision
makers,
all
of
whom
have
discretion
and
state
granted
powers.
K
N
N
N
Well,
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
conflict
of
interest,
but
I
see
jasmine
on
here,
so
I'm
a
candidate
for
congress.
So
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out
there
in
case.
That's
an
issue
for
anybody
or
this.
You
know
the
initiatives
that
this
group
has,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
wasn't
a
conflict
for
anyone
all.
K
We
have
just
two
questions
and
about
five
minutes
to
engage
with
you
right
now
and
you
know
we're
just
trying
to
get
to
know
your
perspectives,
and
you
know
your
approach
to
things
so
just
feel
free
to
share
your
answers
to
these
questions
and
then
we'll
kind
of
move
on
to
discussion.
Okay,
sure,
all
right
now,
my
my
screen
might
go
dark
while
I'm
reading
the
question,
but
don't
let
that
throw
you
off.
C
K
Right
so
sabrina,
the
justice
system
is
comprised
of
numerous
agencies
and
decision
makers,
all
of
whom
have
discretion
and
state
granted
powers.
There
is
not
alignment
among
all
justice
partners
regarding
the
best
approach.
What
approach
will
be
best
will
best
address
the
improvements
within
the
justice
system.
O
So
as
a
formerly
incarcerated
individual,
it
served
a
considerable
length
of
time
in
living
conditions
in
raleigh
north
carolina
that
were
later
deemed
unfit
for
animals
when
they
lost
their
dog
program.
I
feel
I
have
a
very
unique
perspective
here.
The
primary
issue
which
I
would
seek
to
address
would
be
the
gender
disparity
between
the
men's
corrections
and
women's
corrections
and
the
opportunities
allotted
to
them
for
re-entry
opportunities.
As
far
as
work,
release,
study,
release
and
programs
of
that
nature,.
O
I
mean
to
get
to
a
personal
level.
If
we
could,
you
know,
take
a
chance
to
speak
about
sensing
disparages.
You
know
the
women
of
color
walking
around
with
natural
life
sentences
for
crimes
that
their
white
counterparts,
even
in
their
own
counties,
were
sentenced
to
mere
years,
is
a
problem
that
is
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
These
are
not
faceless
opus
numbers.
K
B
B
Okay,
so
we
have
four
applicants:
the
staff
team
will
tabulate
the
scores
and
then
present
to
the
body.
The
two
top
scoring
folks
and
my
fault,
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
concerns
of
this-
is
that
those
two
folks
will
be
presented
to
us
and
then
I'll
entertain
a
motion
from
the
floor,
who
you
would
like
to
consider
for
the
position,
of
course
entertain
a
second
and
then
any
discussion
on
that
and
go
ahead.
Mayor.
F
I
just
have
a
question
about
whether
there's
any
other
description
of
the
position
other
than
community
members.
There
anything
else
that
comes
with
the
description
of
the
position
than
that
which
is
fine,
just
checking
make
sure
I
didn't
miss
something
about
that.
You're
saying
no
tiffany,
no
more
just.
F
B
All
right
so
we'll
present
those
two
and
then
entertain
emotion
from
the
floor,
and
who
you
want
the
body
to
consider
and
go
from
there.
We
only
have
one
seat.
We
have
four
applicants
and
would
like
to
consider
the
top
two
scoring
applicants
all
right.
So
the
next
item
is
the
bylaw.
So
you
all
had
the
opportunity,
over
the
last,
maybe
four
months,
to
review
the
red,
the
current
red
line
for
our
bylaws.
We
created
these
bylaws
in
2020,
with
the
expectation
that
we
would
review
and
reconsider
it
after
two
years.
B
B
Previously,
the
bylaws
said
very
specifically
that
a
person
holding
a
specific
seat
or
office
would
be
able
to
see
it,
but
we
wanted
to
give
some
flexibility
to
our
very
busy
office
leads
to
be
able
to
delegate
that
responsibility
to
someone
else.
So,
for
example,
previously
it
said
that
the
falcon
county
sheriff
would
have
to
sit
in
the
seat.
Now
it
just
says
buckland,
county
sheriff's
office,
so
the
sheriff
and
he's
done
that
has
delegated
that
to
someone
else.
B
B
B
B
Over
the
last
two
years,
we've
done
a
significant
amount
of
work,
around
strategic
planning
for
our
jrac
and
from
that
we've
determined
that
there
are
three
free
work
groups
or
steering
committees
that
we
would
want
here
and
it's
the
racial
equity
community
engagement
and,
of
course,
our
behavior
health
and
justice
collaborative.
So
we
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
clarify
that
in
our
bylaws.
B
B
Yeah,
as
I
was
reading
that
I
thought-
oh
that's
not
right!
So
thank
you
for
that
that
should
be
identified
in
the
standing
committee
instead
of
the
steering
committee,
so
you'll
see
if
you're
all
looking
at
this
under
section
five,
there
says
steering
committee
and
it
lists
the
racial
equity,
community,
engagement
and
behavioral
health,
just
clarity,
those
should
be
listed
below
in
the
standing
committee,
which
is,
but
also,
I
think
the
numbering
is
off
too.
If
someone
can
make
note
of
that,
we'll
make
that
correction.
H
I
see
a
small
grammatical
correction
when
it
says
membership
based
on
appointment
and
nomination.
We
have
a
bullet
for
community
response
domestic
violence.
I
think
we
just
need
to
add
another
one
for
members
for
the
community
members-
and
I
don't
know
if
mayor
mannheimer
wants
to
be
specific
about
what
community
representation.
H
F
B
F
B
B
G
E
B
B
A
F
C
B
So
the
next
item
again,
I
wanted
to
give
as
much
time
as
possible
for
the
team
to
tabulate
the
scores
or
the
ratings,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
see
if
there
are
any
announcements
or
office
or
departmental
updates,
so
anybody
that
has
anything
they
want
to
share
for
the
good
of
the
group
or
for
the
public.
I
will
mute
and
let
you
pop
in.
D
H
P
Dk
I'll
share
something
you
know
our
office
yolanda
fair,
has
now
moved
off
to
the
office
of
the
juvenile
defender
in
north
carolina,
so
she's
going
to
be
a
regional
she's,
going
to
be
kind
of
a
regional
here
on
the
ground
for
juvenile
justice
in
the
western
part
of
the
state,
and
I
think
that's
a
really
good.
That's
a
good
role
for
her
in
the
system.
P
We're
hiring
a
young
man
named
elliot
spector
who's,
currently
working
through
a
fellowship
through
columbia,
university
law,
school.
We're
excited
to
bring
him
on
board
as
the
new
assistant
public
defender
in
our
office,
so
we're
having
a
little
bit
of
change,
but
we're
we
really
do.
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
elon
has
gone
over
to
the
the
juvenile
defender's
office
and
because
there
is
an
emphasis,
there
needs
to
be
a
stronger
emphasis,
particularly
in
the
regions
that
aren't
represented
by
public
defenders
for
juvenile
defense.
B
P
J
Thanks
dk,
you
can
count
on
me
to
bring
up
funding.
Usually
this
is
rachel
from
strategic
partnerships
office
at
the
county
and
we
at
buncombe
county
government
do
have
an
open
process
right
now
for
groups
to
apply
for
covid
recovery
funding.
This
is
federal
funding
that
we've
talked
about
before
that
started
with
the
american
rescue
plan
act
and
came
down
to
local
government.
J
Our
application
process
is
open
to
non-profits
and
public
organizations,
so
that
includes
most
of
most,
if
not
all,
of
the
different
offices
we
have
on
the
call
today.
So
if
you
or
your
partners
have
an
idea
for
a
project
that
could
be
funded,
there
are
some
priorities
that
county
commissioners
have
listed,
that
they'd
like
to
see
applications
as
connected
to
criminal
justice
is
not
specifically
named,
but
we
know
that
this
work
is
intersectional.
J
So
many
of
the
areas
that
are
connected
to
justice
are
listed
like
projects
supporting
people
who
are
homeless
projects,
supporting
outcomes
related
to
mental
health
and
or
substance
use
disorders,
so
buncombecounty.org
recovery
funding.
If
you
haven't
taken
a
look
or
if
you
want
to
refer
any
community
partners
to
take
a
look
and
the
application
is
open
until
april
12th,
the
county
has
roughly
27
million
dollars
to
allocate
through
this
rfp.
This
request
for
proposals.
Thank
you.
E
P
E
Yeah,
well,
it
just
needs
to
be
the
way
we
do
business
and
we
we
had
the
racial
equity
task
force
meeting
today
and
and
it's
just
not
known
out
there,
and
then
we
have
to
to
figure
out
how
unrepresented
you
know.
Folks
are
gonna,
know
about
this,
because
we
don't
want
to
have
to
come
back
after
the
fact
and
and
undo.
E
You
know
something
that
should
have
been
done
on
the
front
end,
because
if
you're
coming
back
at
that
point,
they've
already
been
in
in
the
system
when
perhaps
they
they
might
not
have
had
to
to
go
through
all
that
to
start
with.
So
it's
going
to
be
an
education
process,
but
it's
a
big
step
forward
and
when
you,
when
the
supreme
court
says
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do.
That's
that's
a
big
deal.
B
All
right,
so
some
of
you
may
have
attended
the
behavioral
health
justice
collaborative
meeting
that
we
had.
I
want
to
say
a
week
or
so
ago
where
we
were
starting
to
have
conversations
around
the
opioid
settlement
here
in
north
carolina.
At
that
time
we
hadn't
got
word
that
it
had
been
finalized
or
a
allocation
schedule.
B
But
we
have
started
collecting
information
from
groups
that
are
already
doing
the
work
here
in
buncombe
county,
as
well
as
some
of
our
departments
here
that
have
been
working
on
these
issues
for
some
time,
and
so
we
hope
to
have
a
good
plan
to
bring
forward
a
community
focused
driven
plan
and
bring
forward
to
the
board
of
commissioners
for
consideration
so
tune
in
to
the
april
19th
meeting,
and
we
will
have
more
information
at
that
time.
Does.
G
Sorry,
computer
glitch
there.
No
just.
I
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
be
in
touch
with
anyone,
who's,
particularly
interested
in
that
and
we're
very
excited
about
what
we
think
will
be
a
robust,
robust
opportunity
for
stakeholder
and
community
engagement,
and
I
think
also
just
feeling
that
the
very
real
urgency
of
starting
to
move
the
first
allocation
dollars
within
the
structure
of
the
settlement
there's
what's
called
sort
of
an
option,
a
that
are
defined
as
high
impact
strategies.
G
G
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming
many
twists
and
turns
in
the
process
of
actually
getting
to
the
settlement
being
finalized
and
exciting
that
there
are
new
staff
members
in
in
county
leadership,
who
will
be
helping
to
lead
and
coordinate
this
effort,
but
again,
I'm
always
happy
to
be
in
touch
and
hear
ideas
and
perspectives
from
folks
who
are
particularly
out
in
the
field
and
doing
front
lines
work
around
this.
Thank
you.
J
I
just
put
it
back
up.
Thank
you
dk.
I
was
gonna
just
add
on
to
commissioner
beach
ferrara's
remarks.
This
is
rachel
nygard
again
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
a
session
earlier
this
week.
A
real
live
in-person
gathering
of
north
carolina
counties
coast
hosted
to
talk
specifically
about
opioid
settlement
funding,
and
we
heard
from
hhs
health
and
human
services
secretary
kinsley
and
the
attorney
general
stein,
as
well
as
representatives
from
counties
across
the
state
and
buncombe
county,
was
the
recipient
of
a
lot
of
shout
outs.
J
B
L
B
K
So
often
the
justice
professional
is
here
at
the
meeting
as
part
of
their
job,
not
that
their
job
is
not
part
of
their
life's
work,
but
it
is
very
refreshing
to
potentially
have
somebody
on
j-rack
that
has
justice
information
and
is
not
just
their
job
they're
doing
it
on
their
own
time.
That
seems
to
me
to
be
like
an
asset
in
the
community
and
I'm
excited
about
just
that
perspective
being
on
the
community
side
and
not
necessarily
as
part
of
their
today's
career.
P
She
was
miss.
Reisdorf
was
my
first
choice,
but
I
really
liked
lauren
too.
I
wish
we
could
have
two
members.
I
mean
I
they
were
I.
They
were
my
two
favorite
candidates,
but
I
I
I
do
agree
with
jay.
I
think
that
she
seems
to
she.
She
has
a
apparently
a
passion
about
this
work
and
she's
and
she's
worked
in
it
for
decades.
H
A
Yeah
this
is
donald's
here
I
just
say
the
same.
I
really
felt
that
from
lauren
and
her
short
tube
questions
there
that
she
had
experience
that
you
just
don't
learn
from
working
with
the
system
she's
been
in
and
through
the
system
numerous
numerous
times
that
you
just
don't
you
don't
get
that
perspective
unless
you've
been
in
her
situation,
and
so
I
had
her
slightly
above
the
other
candidate
because
of
that
is,
you
know,
is
a
lot
of
stuff.
L
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
they
were
actually
tied,
unfortunately,
which
was
funny
how
that
played
out,
but
it
really
the
last
one
came
in
and
it
evened
up
the
score
and
I
had
the
breakdown
from
the
each
question
to
you.
If
that
helps
the
discussion,
but
I'm
I'm
happy
to
share
anything
that
can
help
lead
that.
L
Well,
sam,
I
said
that
and
then
I
looked
back
at
the
data.
It's
also
incredibly
not
helpful.
On
the
first
question:
they
both
scored
a
49
and
on
the
second
question,
they
both
scored
a
46
which
is
pretty
phenomenal
on
a
five
point
scale.
But-
and
I
promise
I'm
looking
at
the
data-
I
promise
I
didn't
just
copy
and
paste.
B
B
B
D
E
B
C
A
B
K
B
We
do
in
our
current
standing
committee.
I
know
that
the
racial
equity
committee,
as
well
as
community
engagement,
does
include
community
members.
It's
not
just
staff
or
folks
working
in
in
the
system.
There
are
community
members
on
both
groups,
so
I
really
encourage
other
folks
that
are
interested
in
the
work.
We
only
have
two
seats.
B
We
could
have
changed
our
bylaws,
we
thought
about
it,
but
we
only
have
two
seats
for
community
representatives
on
the
the
body
as
a
whole,
but
absolutely
we
can
encourage
folks
to
reach
out
to
me
or
anybody
on
the
j-wreck,
if
they're
interested
in
participating
in
any
one
of
those
standing
committees.
So
those
are
open.
D
A
B
B
B
H
G
Well,
we
went
through
this
with
the
early
childhood
committee.
Recently
we
did
a
very
exacting
review
of
our
bylaws
that
stretched
over
several
meetings
and-
and
I
did
find
that
it
was
helpful
to
let
folks
kind
of
just
sit
and
digest
any
proposed
changes
before
moving
forward
with
votes
so
I'll
put
on.
I
would
lean
towards
let's
the
ideas
come
up,
maybe
at
our
next
meeting
we
can
revisit
it
and
there
might
be
a
motion
to
amend
the
bylaws
at
that
point.
