A
Hi,
commissioner
walker
here
and
commissioner
williams
yeah
all
right
by
my
account.
We
do
have
quorum,
which
is
wonderful
news,
so
we
can
conduct
business
but
before
we
launch
in,
I
do
not
see
our
fellow
commissioner
colony
cook,
who
is
our
secretary
with
us
at
the
moment,
but
I
do
want
to
let
you
know
that
she
has
announced
that
she
was
going
to
be
rolling
off.
A
Oh,
I
said
her
name
and
she
just
joined
us
she's
coming
on.
There
is
commissioner
cook
kalani.
I
was
just
starting
to
share
your
news
by
way
of
saying
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
all
of
your
amazing
work
because
you're
going
to
be
rolling
off
slightly
before
the
end
of
your
term
here
at
the
end
of
the
year,
so
I
didn't
want
to
steal
your
thunder.
Would
you
like
to
share
that
news
with
everybody,
and
then
I
was
going
to
acknowledge
your
amazing
work.
G
Thank
you,
sorry,
I'm
a
little
late.
I
couldn't
find
the
link
for
some
reason
anyway
yeah,
so
I
have
decided
to
leave
only
because
well
for
several
reasons.
I
first
want
to
say
that
I'm
so
grateful
to
have
been
a
founding
commissioner
on
this
commission.
It's
been
quite
a
learning
experience
I
feel
like
I
can
take
so
much
back
to
the
work
that
I
do
in
the
community
in
the
tech
space
and
I'm
even
building
my
own
company.
G
Now
at
this
point,
I
can
just
take
so
much
that
I've
learned
from
you
amazing
people
in
building
this
from
the
start.
So
it's
been
a
great
experience.
I
have
to
do
what's
best
for
me
and
my
time
and
for
me
the
moment
that
we're
in
in
our
country
and
in
our
society,
just
as
a
black
woman,
I
just
feel
like
with
what
I
am
building.
That
is
what
needs
all
of
my
attention.
G
It's
for
good
reason,
because
things
are
just
so
rapidly
before
black
technician
right
now,
and
I
just
think
that
it
requires.
Like
a
hundred
percent
of
my
focus,
I
think
that
the
work
we
talk
about
doing
here,
a
lot
is,
is
it's
like.
I
can
do
the
ground
work
from
my
you
know,
area
to
further
along
move
the
things
that
we
want
to
accomplish
as
a
gec
further
along,
but
just
in
my
respective
area
of
work,
and
so
for
that
reason
I
have
to
roll
off
a
little
earlier
than
expected.
G
It's
just
it's
just
too
much
and
I
got
to
do
self-care
at
this
point.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
I've
been
building.
You
know
who
has
been
a
part
of
building
the
gec
with
me
and
jesse
for
your
great
leadership
and
anew
for
taking
on
such
a
task
to
be
the
executive
director.
You,
ladies,
have
been
amazing,
and
I
appreciate
both
of
you
and
everyone
who
has
been
on
the
commission.
A
We
want
to
give
you
a
huge
round
of
sort
of
virtual
applause
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
You
have
been
not
only
a
founding
member
of
this
group,
but
just
an
absolute
tremendous
asset
to
this
commission
as
we've
gotten
it
off
the
ground
and
all
the
work
over
the
last
couple
of
years
and,
as
you
know,
as
I've
said
to
you,
this
is
not
the
end.
We
will
be
coming
after
you
for
lots
of
collaboration
and
partnering,
so
we
really
appreciate
you
and
all
of
your
hard
work.
So
thank
you.
A
A
a
big
virtual
shout
out
from
all
of
us
on
the
commission.
Thank
you,
kalani
and
because
colony
is
a
member
of
the
executive
committee,
we
will
be
hearing
in
a
little
bit
from
our
governance
and
leadership
development
committee,
which
has
developed
a
plan,
read
the
bylaws
carefully
and
will
be
sharing
with
us
in
a
little
bit
how
we
will
go
about
filling
the
absence
on
the
executive
committee,
so
we'll
do
that
that
work
in
just
a
few
moments.
A
I
would
direct
commissioners
back
to
the
agenda,
which
is
in
our
shared
google
doc.
We
did
have
some
last
minute
requests
for
some
changes
from
committee
chairs,
one
of
them
we
thought
sharon
was
only
going
to
be
with
us
for
a
few
minutes
and
then
having
to
leave
so
rather
than
jiggle
things
around
again.
Let's
stick
with
the
shared
google
doc
that
we've
got
because
it
it
did
get
updated
a
couple
of
times
today.
So
the
one
in
your
drive
in
the
shared
drive
should
be
the
most
up-to-date
and
has
the
latest
time
queue.
A
So
everybody,
hopefully
you're
you're,
following
along
with
that
document,
which
means
that
we're
going
to
be
splitting
our
business
just
a
little
bit,
but
let's
start
as
we
normally
do
with
the
reading
of
any
submitted
public
testimony
or
comments
and
new.
Is
there
anything
to
be
shared
with
the
group
today?
Thank
you,
she's
shaking
your
head.
No,
so
thank
you
very
much.
A
We'll
move
on
to
the
approval
of
the
minutes.
There
was
also
a
link.
Thank
you,
kalani
for
sharing
that
with
everybody
to
the
july.
No
excuse
me
would
be
to
the
august
minutes
and
I
did
make
a
couple
of
corrections.
There
were
just
some
little
things
like
dates
and
things
in
there,
and
I
marked
those.
Hopefully
people
can
see
them.
A
A
H
A
Thank
you,
I'm
I'm
jumping
in
and
out
of
windows
and
it's
sometimes
hard
to
see
all
the
hands.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
our
august
minutes.
Please
say
I.
A
A
We
did
have
a
request
to
do
the
gender
analysis
committee
report
here
at
the
top
of
the
meeting
sharon.
I'm
assuming
you'd
still
like
to
do
that
in
case
you
have
to
go
to
your
other
meeting.
D
A
Well,
typically,
we
have
committee
reports
down
under
working
groups
and
initiatives.
I
have
bumped
our
gender
analysis
committee
report
to
the
top
of
our
meeting
so
sharon.
If
it's
okay
with
you,
maybe
we'll
put
your
your
committee
report
and
discussion,
which
I
know
you
want
to
have
back
down
in
its
usual
place
on
the
on
the
list.
A
I
A
J
Hey
well
so
hello,
everyone
and,
I
hope,
you're
all
hanging
in
there
and
it
does
make
me
sad.
We've
had
several
of
our
inaugural
founding
commissioners
roll
off,
which
is
understandable
after
two
and
a
half
years
of
incredibly
intense
service-
and
I
say
this
and
I
think
everyone
who
knows
me
knows-
I
mean
seriously
that
I
thank
you
and
thank
you
very
much
for
really
this
is.
I
know
it's
been
a
slog,
but
the
commission
has
been
doing
important
work
to
go
to
my
executive
director
report.
J
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
many
of
you
know
that
we've
been
talking
with
different
community
members,
including
rachelle
jackson,
who
has
now
publicly
started
her
black
women's
policy
agenda.
So
that
was
nearly
a.
I
guess
it
was
late.
Last
fall
december.
Morgan
is
the
quoted
our
wonderful
new
commissioner.
Morgan
overton
is
quoted
in
the
press
release,
so
that
was
in
my
executive
director
report,
because
I
hope
that
we
will
have
a
chance
to
continue
supporting
that
agenda
and
other
community
organizations
like
that.
J
I
included
my
executive
director
report,
the
slides
from
my
presentation
to
the
community
task
force
on
police
reform,
really
remembering
that
they're
as
with
everything
there
are
gendered
implications
to
how
communities
and
police
engage
and
also
just
to
to
remember,
there
are
people
of
different
genders
who
work
for
public
safety
and
our
police,
and
so
I
was
happy
to
have
an
opportunity
to
answer
their
questions
and
also
wanted
to
share
the
slides
with
you
and
then
another
moment
of
applause
and
congratulations.
J
The
athena
awards.
Recently
we
had
our
chair.
Jessie
ramey
was
one
of
the
wonderful
nominees
of
the
woman
who
leads
and
does
amazing
work
for
our
community
and
kathy
elliott
who
rolled
off
the
commission
very
recently
was
a
finalist,
so
just
to
say
that
this
is
a
powerhouse
commission
and
I'm
very
excited
I'm
going
to
spend
a
few
minutes,
and
this
is
going
to
be
the
start
of
a
conversation.
J
So
I
will
send
you
the
documents
and
I
I'm
guessing
we're
going
to
wrap
this
into
a
variety
of
community
committee
conversations,
but
especially
for
those
of
you
who
are
newer.
Commissioners,
I
will
do
my
best
to
give
you
contacts
and
please
always
feel
free
to
email.
J
J
The
gender
equity
commission
presented
city
council
and
the
mayor
with
a
policy
recommendation
called
building
an
equitable
new
normal,
responding,
the
crises
of
racism
of
police,
violence
and
covid19,
and
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen.
If
that
it
will
allow
me
to
do
that,
and
what
I
wanted
to
give
you
is.
I
know
that
it
did
not
happen.
J
So
can
you
all
see
it
not
if
you
can
see
a
color
spreadsheet,
okay,
wonderful,
so
this,
of
course,
is
building
an
equitable
new
normal.
It
is
on
our
website.
You
can
direct
anyone
who's
interested
in
seeing
it
in
addition
to
presenting
it
to
city
council
in
the
mayor's
office.
These
policy
recommendations
are
things
that
any
group,
any
organization
can
really
say.
How
can
we
further
gender
equity?
J
How
can
we
further
intersectional
social
justice
and
that
everyone
can
think
about
different
ways
to
apply
these
recommendations,
and
the
research
is
really
robust
and
thorough?
Thank
you
again
to
dr
raymie
for
doing
that,
but
I
do
want
to
encourage
commissioners
and
anyone
in
the
public
is
watching
to
really
make
use
of
these,
because
they
they
really
suggest
a
path
forward,
because
we're
all
struggling
and
covet
is
certainly
exposed
and
exacerbated
existing
inequalities.
J
What
I
also
have
been
working
on
is
tracking,
which
of
these
policy
recommendations,
have
what
status
right
now
in
terms
of
city
government,
to
help
the
gender
equity
commission
continue
really
trying
with
the
use
of
the
pigr
report,
the
pittsburgh
inequality
across
gender
and
race
from
a
year
ago,
almost
exactly
it
was
released
to
these
policy
recommendations.
J
We
want
to
be
benchmarking.
How
is
the
city
making
improvements?
What
are
the
priority
areas?
What
does
the
gender
equity
commission
want
to
spend
its
time
on
so
what
I've
tried
to
and,
as
I
said,
I
will
share
this
with
commissioners,
but
I've
tracked
in
terms
of
the
policy
recommendations.
J
What
is
in
progress-
and
some
of
this
has
been
ongoing
for
many
years,
and
some
of
this
is
new.
So
if
you
look
under
address
police
violence,
one
of
the
the
city
initiatives
that's
being
undertaken
is
youth,
diversion
initiative
and
there's
a
mayor's
office.
Youth
council
that
is
being
developed
right
now.
J
That's
a
brand
new
initiative
trying
to
bring
together
some
different
ways
of
engaging
with
youth
and
supporting
them
and
to
to
think
differently
than
we
have
about
people
of
different
races
and
expectations
of
behavior
and
criminalizing,
especially
black
youth
in
our
school
mandating.
The
collection
of
disaggregated
data,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
is
actionable
and
that
the
gender
equity
commission
might
be
interested
in
doing
is
thinking
about
how
to
help
support
what
kinds
of
models
we
might
encourage
to
use.
J
One
of
the
things
that
we're
we're,
not
the
only
city,
not
the
only
location
that
is
constantly
struggling
to
get
good
data,
which
is
partly
why
we
did
the
report
last
september,
despite
there
being
lots
of
data
out
there,
it's
not
always
accessible
according
to
gender
or
for
the
the
reasons
that
we
want
to
to
make
sure
that
people
have
are
not
facing
barriers
to
full
participation
in
civic
life
and
and
having
a
high
quality
of
life.
And
so
so
number
two
is
really
important.
J
Similarly,
with
each
of
the
recommendations,
I've
gone
through
and
I've
pointed
out
what
is
happening
right
now
in
the
city
opportunities
and
actionable
things
that
the
generic
community
commission
can
do.
And
finally,
the
thing
that
I'm
continuing
to
be
the
most
excited
about,
which
is
the
most
probably
heavy
lift
and
is
at
the
very
beginning,
is
that
the
city
has
joined
the
mayor's
for
guaranteed
income
and
that's
something
that
there's
just
a
working
group
and
we're
collecting
information.
J
What
they
need
is
not
more
talk,
but
they
need
resources
and
they
need
support,
and
that
includes
needing
money
so
that
they
don't
have
to
make
decisions
between
health.
So
we
don't
have
to
make
decisions
between
health
and
rent
and
other
things.
So
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
we're
at
a
really
good
place
a
year
later,
after
the
release
of
the
report,
I
don't
think
anyone
predicted.
J
We
would
have
seen
the
summer
that
we've
seen
with
the
with
the
racial
unrest
with
kovid
and
his
continuing
uncertainties,
but
I
feel
that
we
have
a
chance
here
to
really
dive
deeper
into
some
of
these
policy
recommendations
and
continue
really
dismantling
some
of
the
structures
that
are
built
into
local
government
that
are
unequal.
J
I'm
gonna,
stop
sharing
and
the
policy
team
will
be
telling
us
about
some
other
efforts
that
are
happening
really.
What
I
see
is
my
job
and
it's
been
almost
exactly
three
years
since
I
started
working
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
so
that's
kind
of
amazingly
fast
and
a
long
time
at
the
same
time,
but
part
of
the
work
of
the
gender
equity
commission
is
shifting
changing
policy,
absolutely
changing
policy
dismantling
barriers,
but
it's
also
shifting
the
culture.
Everyone.
Someone
repeated
this
back
to
me.
They
said
yes
anew.
J
I
know
you
want
me
to
ask
if
there's
a
gendered
impact
to
that
good,
if
they're
internalizing
that
that
you
always
have
to
ask
you
can't
assume
that
it's
gender
neutral,
you
have
to
make
sure
and
be
intentional
and
mindful.
So
if
you
know
that
nagging
voice
in
the
back
of
someone's
head
is
going
to
make
them
make
better
policy
decisions,
then
that's
part
of
the
work
of
the
gender
equity
commission
and
I
think
we
have
opportunities
here
to
really
make
sure
that
the
new,
whatever
the
next
stage
of
things,
looks
like
that.
J
It's
not
the
old
normal,
it's
it's
the
new
normal.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
commissioners
who
have
helped
us
get
to
this
place
and,
like
I
said,
we're
starting
deeper
dives
into
some
of
these
policy
areas.
So
that's
it
for
my
report.
A
J
Yes
and
I
I
have
an
email
I'll,
send
it
out
to
the
commissioners
after
the
meeting.
K
So
new,
I
appreciate
your
report
and
to
go
back
to
the
very
first
document
that
you
mentioned,
of
the
recommendations
that
dr
ramey
had
created
on
how
to
operate
in
the
new
world,
so
to
speak.
So
I
know
that
that
is
listed
out
there.
So
if
we
are
contacted
by
peers
of
ours
in
the
private
sector
world
or
anything
that
would
like
to
receive
a
copy
of
that,
should
I
forward
them
to
you
and
jesse,
or
is
that
not
up
for
distribution?
K
Yet
because
I've
received
inquiries
from
yours
of
mine
in
the
private
sector,.
J
Oh,
it's
absolutely
publicly
available.
I
will
send
a
copy
again
to
commissioners
with
my
email
after
this
meeting,
so
you
have
it
handy.
I
think
I
actually
may
have
already
done
that,
but
it's
on
our
website
and
the
website,
because
we
have
five
new
commissioners
and
nudge
nudge
sharon,
I'm
waiting
on
one
more
bio.
So
I
will
be
updating
the
website
very
shortly
and
it'll
be
very
prominently
on
the
website,
but
it
is
on
our
website
under
announcements.
J
It's
absolutely
public,
but
you
can
also
have
anyone
on
email,
genderequity,
pittsburgh,
pa.gov
and
I
do
get
lots
of
requests
and
I
send
it
out.
I'm
also.
You
know
we
talk
a
lot
about
community
involvement
and
I
know
that
that's
an
ongoing
concern
that
this
commission
really
really
cares
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
separate
from
the
diverse
communities
in
pittsburgh,
but
that
we're
connected
and
we're
listening.
J
And
so
I
actually
bring
that
to
every
meeting
I've
gone
to
since
june,
and
I
I
emphasize
it
so
I
encourage
all
commissioners
and
within
your
own
organizations
it
might
help
be
a
leader
to
say:
hey
here,
are
some
recommendations
coming
out
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh
that
we
can
adopt.
So
thanks
for
that
great
question.
A
You
and
a
new,
I
wonder
there
you've
done
a
lot
of
work
now
to
try
and
give
us
a
road
map
of
what's
actionable,
perhaps
under
some
of
those
guidelines,
and
it
strikes
me
having
been
in
on
a
number
of
committee
meetings
in
the
last
week
or
so
that
many,
the
committees
are
also
wrestling
with
some
of
those
questions.
So
perhaps
the
committee
chairs,
who
are
with
us
today
and
committee
members
as
you
go
into
your
committee
meetings
over
the
next
couple
weeks.
A
This
might
be
an
opportunity
to
take
a
look
at
that
as
a
road
map
and
think
about
what's
actionable
within
our
own
committees,
because
I
think
this
maps
well
on
to
some
of
the
committee
work
that
we
are
already
doing,
and
we
may
have
some
ideas
for
some
line
items.
To
add
to
that,
I
think
I'm
ready
to
dig
in
with
you.
So
thank
you
for
getting
that
going
any
other
questions
for
new
on
her
executive
director's
report.
Before
we
jump
forward.
A
Okay,
just
very
quickly,
then
from
your
executive
committee.
The
executive
committee,
of
course,
was
talking
with
kalani
about
her
departure,
which
so
we
had
a
very
sad
meeting.
For
that
reason
I
know
honey
you're
going
to
be
greatly
missed
and
we
did
work
with
the
governance
and
leadership
development
committee
on
a
number
of
things.
A
We've
been
chatting
back
and
forth,
particularly
to
support
their
ongoing
plans,
which
you
will
hear
about
for
the
october
and
no
them
october
november,
retreat
we'll
hear
more
in
a
bit
and
we
were
also
working
with
them
to
clarify
their
recommendations
for
replacing
this
vacancy,
so
we'll
again
hear
from
them
just
lots
of
good
communication.
Thank
you,
and
we
also
discussed
as
a
group.
In
fact,
it's
interesting
you
just
heard
a
news
say
this,
but
how
we
want
to
continue
engaging
the
community
also
in
these
meetings.
A
So
the
executive
committee
was
wrestling
with
the
fact
that,
as
we
have,
you
know
switched
to
this
online
format,
we're
no
longer
really
getting
members
of
the
public
joining
us
as
we
used
to
with
comments
at
the
beginning
and
comments
at
the
end.
So
we
had
some
discussion.
I
just
wanted
to
report
back
to
all
of
you
as
an
executive
committee
that
we're
aware
of
that
we're
we
thought
through
some
potential
solutions
for
that
we
had
some
quick
conversation
again
about.
A
You
know
how
we
can
use
our
personal
social
media
to
invite
people
to
engage
in
these
media.
These
meetings-
and
you
also
had
a
great
idea
for
holding
some,
maybe
like
open
office
hours
where
she
would
be
available
and
others
might
join
her.
We
don't
have
the
perfect
solution,
but
we
want
you
to
know.
A
We've
had
this
conversation
because
again,
I
think
this
group
has
been
really
committed
to
an
open
and
transparent
process
and
very
non-hierarchical
meetings
and
inviting
people
to
you
know
join
us
at
the
table,
so
I
think
we're
all
kind
of
missing
being
in
the
room
together
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
these
as
transparent
as
possible.
We
are
having
lots
of
folks
joining
us
on
the
stream,
so
we
know
that
people
are
watching,
but
it's
it's
harder
for
us
to
engage
with
people.
A
So
the
committee's
aware
of
that
happy
to
have
some
more
conversation
as
we
talk
through
also
how
we
want
to
engage
community
members
in
our
committee
work.
So
I
think
that's
another
place
where
this
will
continue
to
come
out
and
the
workflow
and
action
item
tracking
document
in
our
folder.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everybody
knew
that
we're
trying
to
use
this
with
the
committees.
All
of
you
can
see
it.
The
committee
chairs
are
invited
to
add
action
items
to
this
every
week
or
every
month
after
meetings.
A
I
just
want
you
to
know
that's
in
there.
It's
something
I
knew,
and
I
look
at
every
single
week
when
we
have
our
meetings
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
losing
track
of
our
five
committees
and
who
needs
what
what's
coming
up.
But
that
is
something
that
all
of
you
are
invited
to
take.
A
That
was
your
executive
committee
for
the
month.
I
would
now
pass
it
over
to
sarah
but
she's,
not
with
us
to
give
a
treasurer's
report.
My
understanding
is
that
sarah
and
anu
after
they
met,
did
go
ahead
and
get
our
budget
submitted
and
new.
Is
there
anything
else
we
should
know
about
the
budget
or
budget
process.
J
C
J
Is
possible,
and
so
I
don't
have
any
any
new
information
right
at
the
moment.
A
So
I
guess
now
we
cross
our
fingers
right.
I
guess
that's!
Our
next
step
is,
let's,
let's
hope
so
without
further
ado,
jumping
ahead
to
the
leadership
and
governance
committee
sabrina,
you
all
have
had
your
plateful
this
month.
L
Well,
yeah:
we
had
a
really
great
meeting
to
prepare
for
today
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
and
think
the
work
of
those
folks
who
are
on
that
committee,
which
is
lee
fogerty,
jalisa,
coffey
and
amanda
netrauer,
so
wanted
to
thank
everybody
for
their
hard
work
and
setting
aside
time
to
do
that
work.
I
also
share
the
great
sadness
with
having
kalani
step
off.
She
and
I've
had
some
conversations
before
about
how
amazing
I
think
her
work
is
and
how
dedicated
she
is.
So
I
just
wanna.
L
If
we
were
in
the
room,
I
would
hug
you
and
say
thank
you,
but
we're
not.
So
I'm
just.
Please
know
that
those
words
are
really
genuine
and
you
have
impacted
this
commission
in
such
a
great
way.
No
I'm
very
fond
of
you
kalani.
So,
but
that
being
said,
kalani
does
fill
a
position
which
I
think
is
vital
to
the
commission,
because
it
captures
our
work
and
our
action
items
and
where
we
go
with
things
which
is
the
secretary
position
and
she's
done
an
amazing
job
in
that
role.
L
But
we
will
need
to
fill
that
position
going
forward,
and
so
what
the
committee
decided
was
that
it
made
the
most
sense
to
host
a
election
if
necessary,
for
that
position
in
october.
Historically,
those
the
positions
of
the
officers
have
been
filled
and
then
immediately
go
into
effect.
So
I
believe,
when
kalani,
when
I
stepped
into
secretary
and
kalani
stepped
in,
we
started
taking
minutes.
L
That
meant
that
moment
in
time,
so
that
what
that
would
be
what
happened
in
october,
and
so
what
I'd
like
to
express
to
other
members
of
the
commission
is
that
we
are
looking
for
folks
who
are
interested
in
filling
the
secretary
position.
L
If
you
are
interested,
you
could
speak
up
now,
certainly,
but
you
can
also
email
me
and
let
me
know,
and
then
in
the
meantime,
as
we've
done
in
the
past,
the
committee
will
be
reaching
out
to
folks
to
speak
with
them
directly
to
see
if
they
have
an
interest
and
then,
if
we
need
to
have
an
election,
we're
going
to
figure
out
how
to
do
that
in
october
remotely
and
making
sure
that
it
is
a
secret
ballot
election,
as
our
elections
have
been
in
the
past
under
our
bylaws.
L
So
I
I
am
committed
to
finding
some
way
through
technology
to
make
that
happen.
I
know
it's
possible,
so
that's
with
regard
to
the
secretary
position.
Go
ahead.
Lee.
I
L
No,
that's
a
really
good
point
lee
right.
It's
like
a
try
out
right,
so
you
could
test
the
waters
and
see
if
that's
something
that
you
like
and
then
make
a
determination
at
the
end
of
the
year.
So
thank
you
for
reminding
me
about
that
right.
So
we
will
be
holding
elections
for
that
at
the
end
of
the
year.
This
would
just
be
for
the
months
of
october
november
and
december
okay
and
then,
with
regard
to
the
retreat.
L
We
are
looking
to
have
a
retreat
sometime
in
october,
maybe
at
november,
at
this
point
in
time
that
retreat
would
be
done
remotely
through
a
zoom
and
we're,
as
I
said
before,
we're
trying
to
acknowledge
and
be
mindful
of
people's
zoom
fatigue.
So
we
would
limit
the
time
and
we
hope
to
cover
two
different
topics,
and
so
we
have
asked
anew
and
she
has
done
a
really
great
job.
L
Thank
you
so
much
for
looking
for
reaching
out
to
possible
facilitators
and
she
just
provided
in
an
email
that
information
a
little
bit
earlier
and
work.
The
committee
is
going
to
take
some
time
to
look
at
those
facilitators
and
bring
a
recommendation
back
to
the
executive
committee
to
see
whether
to
answer
several
questions.
Whether
or
not
we
want
to
have
two
facilitators
or
one
facilitator.
Who
could
talk,
cover
the
topics.
But
we
will
be
following
up
with
that
with
the
executive
committee
and
then
hopefully
bringing
something
back
to
the
entire
commission.
L
The
goal
of
the
retreat
is
to
cover
to
cover
a
portion
of
it
would
be
dedicated
to
talking
about
racism
and
the
work
of
the
commission
and
to
cover
that
as
a
training.
But
then
also
the
second
piece
of
it
would
be
to
focus
our
commission
on
how
we
work
together,
bringing
us
back
to
sort
of
our
future
plan
of
the
commission
and
refocusing
us
on
where
we're
going
to
go
from
here,
particularly
as
we're
growing
as
a
commission,
which
is
a
tremendous
thing.
L
But
we
this
would
be
an
opportunity
for
us
all
to
come
together
and
figure
out
where
we're
going
really.
And
then.
The
last
thing
that
the
committee
has
been
working
on
is
the
finalizing
a
specific
list
of
roles
and
obligations
for
the
for
commissioners
and
for
those
who
sit
on
the
executive
committee.
So
lee
had
a
final
version
of
that
put
together
and
I
do
think
we're
going
to
disperse
that
to
the
commission.
L
Is
that
correctly
for
feedback
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
vote
on
the
that
document
sometime
during
the
october
meeting?
That
would
be
the
goal,
so
those
are
the
three
things
that
we've
wanted
to
present
today.
Is
there
any
questions
or
concerns?
L
G
That
I'm
leaving
honestly
like
I
actually
really
love
being
the
secretary
so
and
if
anyone
has
any
questions
regarding
like
what
all
goes
into
it,
just
to
like
calm
your
fears
that
it
is
too
much
it's
really
not
like
I'm,
I
it's
it's
a
it's
a
template
and
it's
pretty
straightforward
anyway.
I
wanted
to
chime
in
because
sabrina
did
you
just
say
that
lee's
document
is
available?
Did
I
hear
that
correctly.
L
L
And
think
about
any
edits
or
changes
and
we'll
be
taking
a
bigger
look
at
it
at
the
october
meeting.
Okay,
thank
you
thanks,
kalani,
okay,
I
think
that
completes
my
report
jesse
and.
A
L
Lot
to
do
with
the
availability
of
the
facilitators,
so
we're
going
to
take
a
really
close
look
at
that
information
and
I
will
get
if,
if
anew
has
sent
it
to,
I
think
she
sent
it
to
the
whole
committee,
but
if
not,
I
will
pass
it
along
to
the
entire
committee
and
we
can
have
a
very
quick
internal
conversation
about
their
availability
and
I
just
believe
it's
dictated
a
little
bit
from
that.
L
A
A
Okay,
okay,
we're
going
to
move
on
then
to
our
working
groups
and
initiatives
section
of
the
agenda
and
we'll
move
our
gender
analysis
committee
back
down
into
its
normal
home.
Here,
at
the
top
of
this
list,
we
have
a
new
committee
chair
sharon,
I'm
going
to
hand
the
floor
over
to
you.
D
You
are
hi
everyone
glad
to
be
here,
I'm
very
excited
about
the
work
ahead,
and
so
our
first
meeting
was
this
past
week
and
it
was
really
a
great
meeting
just
to
be
able
to
get
to
know
sarah
and
lee,
and
you
know
here
both
from
jessie
and
anu,
and
very
grateful
for
their
leadership
and
support.
D
So
our
our
report
is
is
kind
of
brief,
but
I
would
also
say
it's
a
pretty
important
one.
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
was
we
had
a
major
discussion
around
the
rfp
process.
There's
an
rfp
that
we
need
to
get
out
to
the
community
for
gender
analysis.
Work
anew
has
developed
a
narrative
for
a
follow-up
on
the
gender
analysis,
using
a
community
participatory
research
approach.
D
D
We
use
that
word
a
lot
and
I
do
believe
it
means
different
things
to
different
people,
but
I
think,
for
our
purposes
and
for
the
work
that
we're
doing
one
of
the
things
that
the
gender
analysis
committee
wanted
to
do
is
to
be
able
to
say
two
folks
who
may
be
responding
to
the
rfp,
what
we
mean
by
community
and
really
it's
communities,
it's
not
like
just
one
community,
but
it
is
its
communities,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
ask
the
group
is
just
for
feedback
on
on
what,
through
your
lens-
and
through
your
experience
I
mean,
and
even
your
your
opinion,
what
is
communities
to
you?
D
What
does
that?
What
does
that
mean?
What
what?
What
is
community-
and
certainly
we
hear
it
all
the
time
you
know,
and
I
my
opinion
is
that
it's
become
a
catch-all
word.
You
know
that
we
use
communities
for
everything,
and
so
sometimes
it
gets
watered
down
when
that
happens.
D
But
our
work
is
really
not
to
water
it
down,
but
to
really
be
able
to
have
conversation
around
what
community
really
is,
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
do
is
to
have
community
involvement
in
this
in
this
process.
So
I
just
want
to
throw
that
question
out
about
what
what.
B
What
are
communities
I'll
start
as
a
as
a
city
council
person?
I
represent
a
specific
map
of
you,
know
eight
official
neighborhoods,
but
then
also
as
a
member
of
the
body
of
city
council.
I
think
about
constituents
city-wide.
So
there's
always
this
kind
of
competing
definition
of
either
place-based
communities
or
identity-based
communities.
B
And
then
sometimes
we
often
work
with
kind
of
coalitions
and
advocacy
groups.
B
So
then
there's
a
kind
of
you
know
other
maybe
third
bucket,
that
are
kind
of
self-identified
advocates
for
issues
and
communities
right,
and
so
I
I
think
in
my
like
daily
life,
we're
kind
of
morphing
between
those
three
very
often
so,
let's
just
this
one
set
of
working
definitions,
I.
F
I
want
to
echo
what
the
councilwoman
said.
I
think
that
was
just
a
great
way
to
kick
off
this
conversation
and
sharon.
I
really
appreciate
you
even
acknowledging
that
in
the
first
place
as
someone
who
has
gotten
a
master's
degree
in
community
organizing,
I'm
always
confronted
with
how
I
approach
community,
it's
amazing
that
you're
even
considering
that,
but
the
first
thing
that
came
to
mind
was
a
collective
like
when
you're
in
a
community.
F
There's
this
shared
sense
of
kind
of
your
purpose
for
being
there,
whether
it
is
place
based
like,
for
example,
in
part
of
the
shady
side
community-
or
you
know,
I'm
part
of
the
black
community-
it's
not
monolithic,
so
it's
really
right
to
incorporate
a
plural
sense
of
community,
but
I
think
that
word
holds
a
lot
of
power
in
just
like
this
collective
sense
of
being
and
you're.
You
know
you're
not
alone
in
that
process.
F
D
Okay
yeah.
Thank
you
morgan!
That's
that's
very,
very,
very
true
and
I'd.
I
would
really
love
to
hear
more
from
you,
particularly
because
you're
doing
your
work
in
community
organizing,
which
really
brings
a
whole
different
lens
to
this,
to
this
notion
of
of
community
and
and
how
do
you
organize
community?
D
I
Hi
there
I
think
it's
I've
been
looking
at
what
we're
doing
with
a
general
analysis.
Part
of
what
it
means
to
me
is
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
affected
by
whatever
is
talked
about
or
legislated
or
dealt
with
through
the
process.
M
M
So
when
you
look
at
community
in
the
latin
I
mean
it
literally
means
public
spirit,
and
so
for
me
you
know,
I
I
think
that
there's
a
difference
between
community
and
tribes,
you
know
community
is
just
by
nature
of
geography,
we're
all
in
this
community
together
whether
we
want
to
be
or
not,
and
if
we
move
geographically
we're
going
to
be
in
a
different
community.
But
the
thing
that
holds
and
binds
us
together
are
the
things
that
we
care
about
and
the
things
we're
willing
to
sacrifice
for.
D
Yeah,
I
love
the
I.
I
love
the
notion
of
public
spirit
with
regard
to
community.
B
H
It's
an
important
conversation
because
it's
multilayered
and
initially
started.
As
the
councilwoman
talked
about.
I
mean
there
are
communities
within
communities.
In
you
know:
geographic
based
on
beliefs,
religious
beliefs,
social
beliefs,
I
mean
all
of
those
things,
so
I
I
agree
that
it's
it's.
The
word
has
to
be
plural
and
again
know
that
it's
there's,
there's
a
lot
of
of
depth
and
complexity
to
what
makes
up
communities
and
what
that
looks
like,
and
I
think
it
especially
given
our
role.
H
We
need
to
be
inclusive
and
remember
that,
and
you
can
be-
and
I
don't
remember
who
it
was
if
it
was
morgan
who
talked
about
I
mean
you
can
be,
you
can
have
a
foot
into
community
standing.
D
Yeah
yeah
and
I
think
allison
to
that
point-
that's
why
it's
so
important.
You
know
for
the
gender
analysis
committee
to
really
and
for
us,
even
on
the
on
the
gender
equity
commission,
to
really
be
engaged
with
that
term.
You
know
in
a
in
a
way
that
really
respects
all
the
intersections.
H
J
D
J
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
thing:
this
is
a
fabulous
conversation
and
this
is
actually
my
academic
area
of
study.
J
So
I
wrote
a
book
with
the
subtitle
narratives
of
ambivalence
and
belongings,
so
that
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
thinking
about
doing
the
work,
because
I
have
heard
commissioners
say
they
want
to
do
community
engagement,
but
I
think,
sometimes
and
historically
in
nonprofits,
that
has
meant
limited
ideas
of
sort
of
saving
people,
and
so
I
think
it's
much
more
important
to
have
this
nuance
idea
of
and
if
we
think
of
constituencies
one
of
the
challenges
of
thinking
intersectionally
is.
B
J
Just
no
way-
and
so
it's
really
important
to
both
recognize
the
nuances
and
the
complexity
and
to
say
we
need
to
make
the
best
use
of
all
of
your
valuable
amazing
expertise,
and
so,
but
I
think
this
kind
of
complexity
of
thinking
and
also
just
of
dealing
with
one
another,
that
we
are
a
community
and
our
community.
That's
shifting
right
now
and
transitioning,
and
I
think,
having
intentionality
and
mindfulness
about
that
about
and
that's
why
I'm
trying
to
say
if
you're
new
to
the
community
don't
hesitate
to
ask
questions.
J
There
are
no
dumb
questions,
but
there's
no
reason
you
shouldn't
know
what
we're
talking
about,
and
I
base
that,
probably
on
my
own
experience
of
being
added
to
communities
and
maybe
not
getting
a
guiding
hand
or
a
helping
hand,
sometimes
and
just
being
patient
with
each
other.
I'm
constantly
struck
by
how
much
important
work
it's
done
and
then
also
that
people
just
need
to
step
back
at
times
and
that's
okay
too.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
this
is
a
really
amazing
community.
That's
also
going
through
its
own
changes
right
in
this
moment.
B
Is
this?
Can
I
bring
it
back
to
for
focusing
on
what
we're
asking
and
are
the
in
the
rfp?
Have
I
lost
track
of
the
conversation?
If
this
is
about
the
language
you
put
out
in
the
rfp
or
no
I've
got
the
yes,
it's
the
nose.
B
So
if
we
put
out
something
that
just
said
in
the
community,
I
think
I'm
just
following
up
on
this
line
of
thinking.
We
may
not
really
be
meaning
that
we
expect
people
to
do
intensive
conversations
that
among
every
single
one
of
the
city's
three
hundred
thousand
pure
citizens
yeah.
So
we
will
be
having
to
narrow
that
scope
intentionally
and
with
open
conversation
amongst
ourselves
to
figure
out
which
of
the
communities
that
we
want
to
prioritize
with
this
project,
not.
C
B
D
Yes-
and
I-
and
I
think
you
know,
in
order
to
make
those
choices,
I
think
that
we'd
really
need
a
really
good
working,
not
just
definition,
but
you
know
how.
How
are
we
defining
community
and
what
really
struck
me
was
in
our
meeting
the
other
day.
I
think
it
was
sarah
that
brought
up,
and
maybe
lee
as
well.
D
You
know
that
brought
up
this
idea
of
community
and
how,
in
the
gender
equity
commission
report,
communities
felt
left
out,
but
but
also
in
our
work
last
week
it
was
raised
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
include
different
communities
who
maybe
felt
left
out.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
really
talk
about
what
that
you
know
what
that
is,
and
this
has
been
a
great
discussion.
D
I
know
I'm
I'm
out
of
time
jesse,
but
this
has
been
a
really
a
good
discussion
and
I
think
that
it
helps
us
with
regard
to
just
making
a
statement
about
what
you
know
when
we
talk
about
communities.
This
is
what
we
what
we
mean,
and
it
doesn't
mean
that
there
are
not
other
ways
of
being
in
community.
It
doesn't
mean
that
there
are
not
other
ways
to
define
community,
but
I
think
you
know,
like
you
knew
when
I
was
doing
my
doctoral
work.
D
D
I
really
am
very
grateful
for
the
for
our
for
the
discussion
today
and
I'll
just
end
by
by
saying
that
the
action
steps
that
the
gender
analysis
committee
will
be
working
on
again
is
this
idea
of
what
community
means,
but
then
we
will
also
be
reading
and
just
kind
of
editing
the
work
that
a
new
did
for
us
on
the
rfp
process,
because
we
are
working
up
against
a
deadline.
I
I
believe-
and
so
that's
my
report.
D
G
We
want
to
hear
from
you.
No,
I
am
I.
I
super
appreciate
this
conversation
again,
why
I
have
loved
working
on
the
gc,
because
I
just
continuously
learn
so
much,
and
it
expands
the
way
that
I
even
think
as
a
as
a
leader
of
an
organization,
but
anyway
I
just
wanted
to
piggyback
on
what
you
said,
and
that
was
the
question
that
I
had
you
sharon
the
question
I
had.
G
So
then,
my
question,
for
I
guess
everyone
moving
forward
without
me-
is
that
the
work
that
we
as
as
we
define
community
like
how
is
it
that
we
make
sure
no
one
feels
left
out,
because
when
everyone
is
a
part
of
so
many
intersections
like
how
can
people
not
feel
left
out?
G
M
I
don't
have
a
question
about
that,
because
I
may
have
missed
this
part
of
the
work
as
a
newcomer.
So
have
we
done
the
so?
Do
we
have
a
target
population
or
target
populations,
because
I
guess,
when
I
think
of
community
in
the
sense
of
sending
out
an
rfp,
you
know
we,
as
you
said,
kalani,
everybody
wants
to
feel
a
sense
of
belonging
and
those
people
are
naturally
a
part
of
our
population,
even
if
we
have
not
defined
them
in
the
context
of
community.
M
J
Can
I
jessie.
E
Go
ahead,
I
just
okay.
No,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
that
if
the
methodology
that
we
are
proposing
to
use
works,
if
it's
employed
correctly,
then
a
lot
of
the
definition
and
the
inclusion
and
the
how
that's
going
to
look
is
going
to
come
out
in
the
research
process.
E
So
at
this
point
I
think
our
job
as
a
commission
and
a
committee
is
to
get
a
very
broad,
yet
nuanced
definition
of
of
community,
so
that
the
researchers
that
we
bring
on
board
to
do
the
the
the
data
collection
and
the
community
engagement.
The
analysis
will
be
able
to
reach
out
to
like
better
define
who
wants
to
be
involved
to
what
extent
and
to
fill
in
the
gaps
from
report
number
one.
E
So
I
think
that
at
this
point
we
don't
have
a
sense
of
well
we're
specifically
going
to
reach
out
to
east
end
communities
or
we're
specifically
going
to
reach
out
only
to
the
lgbtq
community,
because
we
know
that's
a
gap
in
the
first
report.
E
E
Take
on
why
we
were
bringing
this
question
up
today,
not
sure
what
others,
because.
M
I'm
just
saying
why,
wouldn't
we
just
steer
clear
of
the
term
community
and
instead,
if
it's
really
about
gathering
data
at
this
point,
it's
demographic
and
population
community
is
what
comes
after.
We
have
drawn
that
circle
and
it
seems
like
community,
is
the
phase.
After
the
rfp's
work
is
done,
then
we
will
better
understand
community
and
who
identifies
themselves
as
a
group
that
should
be
involved
in
this.
M
D
Think
that's
one
way
of
looking
at
it
demonte.
I
think
the
other
thing
for
for
me
is
that
you
know
it's
already.
You
know
in
terms
of
community,
it's
it's.
D
The
there's
already
been
talk
around
it,
and
so
for
as
through
as
I
see
it,
I
think
it's
important
that,
as
sarah
just
talked
about
it's
it's,
it's
kind
of
making
this
statement
or
making
yeah
making
a
statement
about
you
know
this
is
our
framework
for
community
and
frameworks
change
every
day.
So
so
that's
really
important
when
we're
talking
about
research
you
know
is,
is
the
is
the
framework
that
we're
that
we're
working
with
so
yeah,
but
yeah.
M
J
D
J
So
the
thing
I
wanted
to
do
is
to
zoom
out
again,
and
so
I
think
to
zoom
zoom
in
and
what
I
really
appreciate
is
that
the
the
idea
of
community
engagement
is
very
important
to
the
commission,
but
I
do
think
there's
been
looseness
about
what
that
means
and
because
there
was
a
sense
of
people
being
left
out,
it
was
we
can't
leave
anyone
out,
but
but
that's
actually
being
reactive
and
fearing
leaving
people
out
doesn't
help
with
a
strategy
of
saying
what
is
our
goal
here
right
and
the
goal
is
to
collect
data
as
diamante
said,
but
the
first
report
only
used
quantitative,
publicly
available
data,
so
we
need
to
re
use
our
method
and
the
method
is
called
community
based
for
incubatory
rules,
but
then
the
method
itself.
J
It
includes
more
systematic
community
engagement,
but
if
there
are,
if
there
are
to
answer
damonte's
question,
there
are
groups,
for
example,
people
who
do
not
identify
as
either
male
or
female
or
black
or
white
in
pittsburgh,
about
whom
we
don't
have
data
and
that
data
needs
to
be
collected
in
some
way.
So
the
purpose,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
not
say:
oh,
my
god,
have
we
asked
for
community
involvement
as
some
knee
jerk,
I'm
afraid
we're
going
to
leave
someone
out
right
right.
J
What
is
our
goal
here
and,
as
diamante
said,
who
do
we
need
to
engage
and
at
every
step
I
would
say
to
continue
to
be
really
intentional,
which
I
know
some
of
you
hate
me
saying
this
means
slowing
down
that
we
cannot
say:
we've
got
three
days
and
whoever
wants
to
participate
can
participate.
It
might
mean
we
need
to
take
two
weeks
or
longer.
D
A
The
other
thing
that
came
up
that
I
was
really
struck
by
at
our
committee
meeting
last
week,
along
with
this
wonderful
conversation
about
what
we
mean
by
community,
was
also
who
gets
to
speak
for
communities
and
that's
the
thing
we
quickly
touched
on
was
yes,
just
being
hyper
aware
of
certain
voices
are
louder
than
others
and
rise
to
the
top,
and
we
often
hear
from
those
voices
as
representatives
of
various
communities,
and
we
were
very
aware
that
that
doesn't
always
mean
that
we've
heard
from
the
entire
community.
A
A
To
all
of
us-
and
I
know
the
group's
gonna-
be
working
hard
on
this
rfp
and
despite
a
news,
very
important
advice
that
sometimes
we
have
to
slow
down,
we
also
want
to
get
the
rfp
out.
So
I
know
that
your
committee
is
under
the
gun
yeah
to
get
this
work
done.
So
I
appreciate
it.
D
A
All
of
that,
okay,
unless
there
any
other,
I
saw
lots
of
clapping
little
emojis
for
you.
Unless
there
any
other
questions.
I
would
like
to
jump
onto
the
next
committee.
Okay,
our
workforce
equity
committee.
Unfortunately
we
don't
have
sarah
with
us.
She's
had
an
emergency,
but
janet
is
here
director
manuel
may.
I
turn
it
over
to
you
for
some
discussion.
K
But
I
will
do
my
best,
I'm
coming
off
the
staycation,
so
I'm
catching
up
on
all
kinds
of
emails.
I
will
do
my
best
and
make
my
peers
proud,
but
sarah
and
amanda
have
been
having
meetings.
While
I
was
away
relaxing
and
so
on
september
8th
they
actually
had
a
follow-up
meeting
with
ann
pale,
who
is
the
president
of
the
aauw
pennsylvania?
K
Just
we
always
keep
that
connection
with
and
who
definitely
has
helped
us
and
supported
us.
We
know
that
there
are
some
challenges
that
the
state
of
pennsylvania
aaw
chapter
is
facing,
but
she
just
wants
everyone
to
know
that
they
are
very
proud
of
the
work
that
pittsburgh
is
continuing
to
do
and
she
and
others
are
cheering
us
on
in
the
background.
K
So
last
month
we
did
present
to
everyone
to
the
commissioners
and,
of
course,
all
of
you
voted
unanimously.
We
really
appreciate
your
support
on
the
concept
paper.
K
Sarah,
I
mean
she's
she's
magic
on
that
I
gave
my
hr
points
of
views
and
amanda
gave
her
points
of
views,
but
the
the
wizard
behind
the
curtain
on
that
concept
paper
definitely
was
sarah
who
thoroughly
enjoyed
it.
So
we
know
that
that
was
approved
by
everyone
last
month
on
friday
september,
11th,
sarah
and
amanda
had
a
meeting
with
shireen
sherma
who
worked
for
a
organization
titled
nth
party,
and
so
the
reason
for
that
respective
meeting
is
nth.
K
Party
is
an
organization
that
definitely
combines
and
collaborates
all
respective
confidential
information,
the
the
so
when
you
do
a
rollout
of
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
for
our
data
analysis
on
pay
equity,
you
have
to
have
the
area
that
will
be
able
to
populate
all
of
this
data.
K
So
there
was
an
initial
conversation
with
shireen
from
nth
party
on
this
past
friday,
the
9th
the
11th
of
september
and
a
couple
of
the
follow-ups
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
him.
We
we're
going
to
be
sharing
with
nth
party
our
approved
concept
paper.
K
We
will
be
reviewing
the
boston,
women,
workforce
data
spreadsheet
and
then
making
some
corrections
and
everything
regarding
that.
We
hope
we
hope.
We
hope
that
there
will
be
a
contract
that
we'll
be
able
to
go
into
with
the
nth
party
to
help
us
roll
out
this
compilation
of
data
we're
going
to
be
having
a
follow-up
meeting
with
shereen.
K
That
is
going
to
be
scheduled
towards
the
end
of
september,
but
definitely
we
will
have
it
before
our
next
meeting
in
october.
Prior
to
those
meetings,
there
was
another
meeting
that
was
held
with
deputy
chief,
majestic
lane
and,
of
course,
anew
and
jesse,
and
sarah
and
amanda,
and
I
in
a
very
good,
healthy
conversation,
as
we
all
know
that
earlier
this
year
there
was
the
approval
for
us
to
mark
the
month
of
november
as
pay
equity
month,
and
so
the
core
conversation
around
that
was.
K
Do
we
bring
and
highlight
the
focus
of
you
know
the
pay
and
equity
for
black
women
compared
to
white
men
and
how
long
it
takes
that
one-year
loop
for
it
to
come
around?
What
does
it
really
look
like?
What
does
this
acknowledgement
in
november
really
means?
What
is
the
message
we're
trying
to
get
out?
K
Who
are
our
partners
that
we
really
need
to
join
us
in
this
effort?
So
there
will
be
more
information
to
come.
A
good,
healthy
conversation
of
what
the
actual
title
of
the
celebration
will
be.
That's
there's
been
a
proposal
on
the
table,
I'm
not
going
to
state
what
it
is
at
this
moment,
but
we
will
have
more
information
in
october.
K
K
We've
also
received
additional
emails
recently
from
a
a
newly
formed
organization
that
has
focus
on
pay,
equity
and
and
there's
been
some
reach
outs
wanting
to
partner
with
us.
So
the
momentum
of
the
work
that
we
are
doing
on
this
commission,
I
have
to
say,
is
getting
the
attention
of
others
and
it's
a
good
feeling
right
now,
and
I'm
sharing
that
with
you
as
my
peer
commissioners,
because
this
is
our
work,
we're
a
sub,
you
know
we're
a
little
committee
we're
a
subcommittee.
K
This
represents
all
the
work
that
we
as
a
commission
have
agreed
to
do
and
support
and
to
see
the
momentum
and
to
get
all
these
emails
of
we
want
to
join.
We
want
to
support
it's
a
great
feeling,
so
that
is
our
our
subcommittee
reporter
little
committee
report
on
behalf
of
amanda
and
sarah.
We
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
for
everything
for
your
comments
and
spreading
the
word
about
this,
and
it
definitely
is
getting
out
there.
So
there
will
be
more
to
come
during
our
october
meeting
with
the
momentum
is
going.
G
Hi,
I
just
have
a
clarified
question.
You
said
that
the
meeting
with
chief
elaine
was
to
to
make
the
month
of
november
pay
equity
month.
What
was
it.
K
So
we
so
the
purpose
of
that
meeting
with
deputy
chief
lane.
So
we
know
that
we
had
already
earlier
this
year
when
jesse
had
mentioned
about
pay
equity
month
for
the
month
of
november
and
how
actually
her
son,
he
was
a
quasi
a
commissioner.
He
doesn't
know
it
did
some
calculation
to
help
us
understand
how
long
it
takes
for
the
black
women
to
really
meet
the
average
wage
of
a
white
male.
Is
that
one
year
loop?
K
There
were
several
ideas
thrown
out
and,
as
a
committee,
we're
still
having
that
conversation
of
this
is
what
we
think
we're
taking
the
input
from
deputy
chief
lane
and
then
we'll
come
back
in
october
with
to
the
group
to
let
them
know
what
that
actual
celebration.
Title
will
actually
be,
and
what
are
the
outlines
of
that
celebration?
K
K
K
Does
that
help,
and
I
have
to
say
kalani
when
I
I
heard
the
news
earlier,
you
still
have
time
to
change
your
mind,
but
I
want
you
to
know
you
know
on
behalf
of
amanda
and
sarah,
and
I
I
mean,
while
you've
you've
been
a
joy
to
work
with.
K
I
remember
when
we
all
were
on
the
fifth
floor,
taking
our
photos
and
everything
and
then
all
of
the
interesting
community
meetings
that
we
had
and
all
of
us
were
in
it
together
and
you
stood
strong
and
you
have
definitely
done
a
great
job,
but
you
still
have
time
to
change
your
mind.
I'm
just
saying
I
understand
your
work
and
everything,
but
you
still
have
time
no
pressure
but
pressure.
Sorry,
but
not
sorry,.
A
A
Everybody
you're
gonna,
we're
gonna
overwhelm
her.
I
can
see
that
I
know
that
you
know
just
for
the
new
folks
who
have
joined
us
in
the
last
couple
of
months
if
you're
looking
for
that
pay
equity
awareness
month
proposal
that
was
passed
by
the
commission
back
in
february
in
the
pre-coveted
times
that
is
in
our
shared
folder,
you
can
see
that
or
you
know
just
holler.
We
can
get
you
a
copy
of
that.
A
We
voted
on
that
in
february
we
approved
that
that
this
commission
would
recommend
naming
november
pay
equity
awareness
month.
As
you
just
heard,
director
manuel
save
there's
some
question
about
what
the
actual
name
should
be
and
we're
still
having
some
of
those
conversations
and
also
trying
to
figure
out
what
it
looks
like
if
it
will
be
a
city
council
proclamation
or
if
there's
going
to
be
a
press
conference
and
a
news
been
working
on
getting
some
of
that
information
for
us,
and
so
the
committee's
been
doing.
Let's
just
take.
J
Prop
it's
not
a
proclamation.
A
proclamation
is
just
not
the
appropriate
thing
for
this,
just
because
it's
to
that
would
be
to
honor
someone,
and
so
I
think
we
don't
want
to
honor
the
pay
inequity.
So
I
think
there'll
be
another
mechanism,
but
yeah
some
other
kind
of
mechanism,
but
a
city
proclamation
is,
I
just
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
the
appropriate
thing
for
that.
A
So
this
this
is
ongoing
conversations
that
are
happening
if
folks
have
questions
or
would
like
to
weigh
in.
Of
course,
as
janet
just
said,
this
is
a
work
of
the
whole.
So
we
always
welcome
that,
and
there
may
be
some
opportunities
to
to
really
highlight
other
pieces
of
the
workforce,
equity
initiative
and
some
of
our
pay
equity
policy
recommendations.
So
we
hope
that
we
can
really
use
this
to
highlight
some
of
the
current
work
that
the
city's
doing
things
that
the
city
has
been
doing
over
the
last
year.
A
D
D
So
so
when
so,
whenever
we
do,
the
you
know
the
the
gender
equity,
I
forget,
what
it's
being
called,
but,
like
the
gender
equity
day,
will
there
be
best
practices
that
we
we
give
out?
Will
there
be?
I
guess
this
is
what
I'm
thinking
about
when
I
think
about,
particularly
in
the
in
the
west,
when
we
make
a
day
of
something
it
doesn't
usually
last
because
we're
not,
we
often
don't
put
something
with
it.
D
You
know
with
regard
to
whether
it's
best
practices,
whether
it
is
you
know
this,
is
what
you
should
do
today.
I
mean
I
don't
really
know,
but
I
just
think
about
it
and
it's
like
it's.
We
we
lift
it.
It
is
on
the
calendar
for
a
day
and
nothing's
really
done
so
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
if
there
would
be
the
opportunity
you
know
to
say
you
know
these
are
best
practices
for
equity
and
pay,
and
these
are
things
that
that
you
can
do
so.
D
D
K
Comments
and
questions,
sharon
and
you're
right
on
point,
because
that
was
part
of
our
conversation
of
we
don't
want
to
just
announce.
This
is
pay
equity
day
and
then
that's
it,
and
that
is
where
we
talked
about,
involving
and
having
our
respective
private
business
partners
and
have
like
monthly
pin
point
activities
of
of
achievement,
achievements
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
the
needle.
K
So
if
we're
announcing
that
it
takes
12
months
for
a
black
woman
to
make
the
average
salary
of
a
white
male,
what
is
it
that
we
can
do
to
move
that
needle
to
make
it
happen
in
less
than
12
months
and
have
like
marks?
So
even
with
the
pay
equity
committee?
This
will
also
be
the
rollout
of
one
of
our
first
initiatives
that
we
talked
about
even
last
month.
So
this
is
really
like
the
launch
of
it
okay.
K
So
this
is
the
launch
and
it
will
just
continue,
but
we
really
want
to
monopolize
and
really
use
the
month
of
november,
it's
kind
of
like
the
the
set
off
yeah
and
to
maintain
that
conversation
all
year
and
not
just
say,
hey
month
of
november
pay
equity
month.
Women
are
paid
less
black,
women
definitely
are
paid
less
brown,
women
are
paid
less
and,
let's
hope
for
the
best.
No.
C
K
Not
what
we're
going
to
do,
we
definitely
are
going
to
have
initiatives
tied
into
it
and
hold
people
accountable.
Have
them
sign
off.
You
know
whether
it's
virtually
like
a
partnership,
an
agreement
of
support
and
then
they
will
go
out
and
help
implement
initiatives
with
with
their
organization,
as
well
as
partner
with
our
a
equity
initiative
that
we're
rolling
out
from
the
commission
as
well.
Okay.
So
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
that's
great.
D
A
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Sharon
definitely
call
to
action,
and
hopefully
that
call
to
action,
as
janet
just
said,
is
for
our
own
activity
that
we've
we
hopefully
will
be
ready
to
announce
and
roll
out,
so
that
that
is
anyway
cross
your
fingers,
because
you
know
there's
lots
of
work
to
do
between
now
and
then,
but
the
committee's
been
doing
lots
of
that
prep
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
A
J
A
And
sharon,
you
also
asked
about
best
practices,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
heard
I
I
think
janet
touched
on
it,
but
the
committee
also
has
identified
a
list
of
sort
of
not
only
best
practices
but
things
that
we're
going
to
be
asking
companies
or
corporations
to
sign
off
on
on
the
pledge
they
join
our
oh
yes,.
D
A
A
A
Then
we
will
roll
to
the
next
committee
got
wonderful
committees,
doing
amazing
work
and
another
new
chair
of
another
committee
morgan,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you
now
for
the
what
was
called
the
city
department
analysis
committee.
That
might
be
a
short-lived
title
but
morgan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
stepping
in
to
the
chair
of
this
committee.
The
floor
is
yours.
F
I
am
excited
to
build
community,
as
we
were
talking
about
that
earlier
with
this
committee,
because
I
know
that
all
of
you
have
put
the
hard
work
in
to
really
lay
the
groundwork
for
what
we're
trying
to
do,
and
this
committee
is
a
huge
undertaking.
It's
essentially
the
whole
point
of
the
commission,
so
we
we
have
something
ahead
of
us,
but
I
think
if
we
strategically
move
together,
we
can
we
can
make
something
meaningful
happen.
F
So
I
don't
have
anything
super
hefty
but,
as
you
all
are
aware,
covet
of
course
has
contributed
to
what
was
previously
known
as
the
city
department
analysis
committee
meeting
being
put
on
hiatus,
but
we
now
are
back
and
better
than
before
and
we
were
able
to
come
together
as
a
collective
and
just
to
really
catch
our
breath
to
recalibrate
and
look
at
where
we
have
been
what
we've
done.
F
What
our
whole
mission
is
as
a
group
and
where
we're
trying
to
go
and,
as
you
all
know,
given
the
previous
name
of
the
committee,
this
group
has
really
worked
hard
to
establish
meaningful
relationships
with
internal
city
departments
and
identify
needs
for
gender
equity,
which
I
think
is
incredibly
crucial
for
the
work
ahead
of
us,
and
I
think
that,
given
that
history
and
now
the
environment
of
covid
racial
injustice,
our
policy
recommendations,
you
name
it.
F
We
have
more
tools
under
our
belt
now
compared
to
this
time
last
year
that
we
can
really
make
some
meaningful
substantive
action
and
change.
Of
course,
it's
not
going
to
happen
overnight,
which
we
know,
but
we
can
at
least
get
the
the
process
rolling,
which
is
what
we're
trying
to
really
think
about
now.
So
now
we're
looking
kind
of
this
bird's
eye
view
with
all
this
history
and
relationship
building
under
us
as
kalani
said
we're
in
an
inflection
point.
F
So
this
is
a
bi-directional
relationship
and
the
city
entity
represents
how
the
rest
of
this
city
will
be
impacted
by
it.
So
we're
still
in
the
beginning
stages
of
identifying
how
we
want
to
go
about
shifting
this
culture,
how
to
be
really
meaningful
about
it,
but
to
get
it
started,
we
need
a
robust
name,
the
most
basic
thing,
as
we
know,
words
hold
meaning
and
we
were
playing
around
with
different
potential
committee
names.
F
During
our
meeting
we
were
thinking
city-wide
action
planning
committee
planning
committee,
but
then
we
were
kind
of
going
back
to
the
basics.
Saying
five
year,
equity
planning
committee,
because
five
year
plan
it's
not
just
the
next
five
years.
This
is
an
iterative
process
that
will
continue
on
as
long
as
pittsburgh
exists
and
then
we're
trying
to
achieve
equity
at
the
end
of
the
day.
F
So
the
action
item
is
essentially
for
us
to
either
agree
and
vote
on
the
name
of
the
five-year
equity
planning
committee
or
if
any
of
you
are
just
really
good
at
names,
and
you
just
had
an
idea,
we're
more
than
happy
to
hear
that.
But
that's
pretty
much
the
update
from
me
jesse
or
anu.
If
I
missed
anything,
please
feel
free
to
chime
in.
J
No,
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all
the
people
who
shared
committees,
you
know
bring
your
own
spirit
and
creativity,
and
I
think
it's
always
wonderful
to
bring
this
to.
You
know
the
existing
historical
ideas
and
the
new
energy.
So
thank
you
for
chairing
the
committee,
and
I
think
that
was
a
great
recap.
F
To
reinvent
the
wheel,
I
think
we
want
to
kind
of
have
a
new
wave
and
a
new
breath
of
fresh
air
as
we
approach
this,
but
still
maintain
the
integrity
of
the
city
department,
analysis
committee,
because
so
much
work
has
been
put
into
that
we've
created
relationships
with
these
departments.
Who've,
probably
just
been
waiting
for
someone
to
listen
to
them.
So
I
think
all
of
this
is
incredibly
meaningful.
F
A
K
Something
all
right!
Thank
you,
morgan
for
the
update.
I
think
I
gave
you
a
clap,
but
let
me
give
you
another
one
and
my
you
know
as
as
a
head
of
the
department
for
the
city.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
my
peers
don't
get
stuck
on
five
year
and
think
you
know
five
years
and
then
that's
it,
but
I
like
adding
in
equity.
K
Even
if
I'm
just
throwing
this
out,
I'm
not.
I
will
support
your
your
nomination,
I'm
just
thinking
of
city
department
equity
as
a
thought
I
just
from
a
head
of
a
department.
Sometimes
when
you
put
that
five
years,
some
people
may
think.
Oh,
is
it
five
years
starting
from
2021
up
until
and
then
that's
it,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
my
peers
know
that
this
work
is
beyond
the
five
years.
So
I
think
at
times,
if
you
put
that
number
they
may
hone
in
on
it.
K
F
Miss
janet,
you
came
up
with
such
an
amazing
point
because
we
were
playing
around
with
how
powerful
words
are,
because
when
we
were
initially
saying
city
wide
action
planning
committee
is
it
you
know
big
c
or
little
c,
the
internal
city
or
the
larger
greater
city,
and
I
I
value
your
opinion,
because
you
are
part
of
both
sides
of
the
coin
and
that
you
are
part
of
the
commission,
but
also
a
department
head
as
well.
So
that's
that's
incredibly
meaningful.
F
I
think
you
know,
as
we
move
as
a
committee,
we'll
kind
of
dictate
the
perception
of
us
as
a
committee
it
you
know
if
we
approach
it
from
the
beginning,
saying
that
this
is
an
ongoing
process.
This
is
forever
pretty
much
unless
we
call
it.
The
forever
planning
committee.
F
But
I
think
I
think,
the
way
that
we
move
will
kind
of
dictate
the
perception
of
it
and
we'll
kind
of
you
know
narrow
any
of
those
hesitations,
but
I
hear
you
I
mean
that's.
That
makes
so
much
sense
to
me.
A
H
B
Yeah
other
advocacy
groups
kind
of
put
their
goal
in
their
title
right,
so,
like
vision,
zero
for
zero
fatalities
from
car,
collisions,
etc.
For
our
mobility
plans
right
and
that
involves,
we
have
a
multi-year
plan
for
safety
and
vision.
Zero
is
kind
of
the
the
high
level
part
of
the
title
right
that
the
the
mobility
advocates
have
been
using
nationwide.
So
here
we're
talking,
I
think
I'll.
Keep
advocating
that
we're.
Not
just
this
isn't
like
our
pay
gap
committee.
B
So
here
we're
talking
about
all
of
the
things
that
the
city
departments
do
that
they
should
be
doing
them
equitably
right,
I
have
allegations.
I
know
this
is
a
public
meeting
being
recorded,
but
I
have
constituents
who
call
me
and
claim
that
our
permits,
licenses
and
inspections
department
is
sexist
and
is
inequitable
by
gender
right,
and
it
is
something
that
I've
been
talking
to
constituents
about.
B
So
we
don't
want
that
to
happen
right,
and
so,
when
we're
doing
these
meetings
and
I've
said
this
face-to-face
to
the
current
director,
so
I've
what
she
knows
about
these
kinds
of
feedback
that
I
get
from
especially
women,
small
business
owners
about
that
department
and
about
the
way
our
structure
disadvantages
them.
B
And
that
is
what
we're
talking
about
when
we're
talking
about
systemic
inequity
right
so
that
it's
structural,
that's
baked
in
so
somehow
our
city
processes,
and
that
that's
the,
I
think,
the
hard
work
that
the
reason
we
have
a
commission
to
do.
So
that
means
to
say
it's
like
it's,
not
just
a
five-year
plan
for
the
sake
of
having
like
we
have
a
five-year
capital
budget
and
we
have
a
five-year
this
and
vibrate
that,
but
that
we're
trying
to
get
to
something
here.
B
F
Yes,
I
mean
that
was
clear
to
me
and
you
you,
you
amplified
my
point
earlier
about
how
people
are
having
interface
with
these
departments
right
and
it's
just
it's
a
chicken
in
the
egg
situation,
so
yeah,
I'm
all
for
moving
with
meaning
and
intention
and
not
just
rushing
just
for
the
sake
of
a
cute
name
but
yeah.
That's
exactly
the
whole
purpose
of
this
conversation,
because
you
know
I
when,
when
folks
look
at
the
name
of
our
committee
they're
like
okay,
I
see
what
the
purpose
is.
You
know,
so
we
can
pause.
N
I
was
just
thinking
as
of
sitting
here.
It
has
to
be
a
continuous
process.
I
guess
when
I
first
came
to
the
city,
you
know
we,
we
had
the
city
ordinance
for
equal
opportunity,
review,
commission
and
in
the
ordinance
it
had
that
we
would
do
a
disparity
study
every
five
years,
but
that
was
in
1999
that
the
city
ordinance
has,
and
we
haven't
done
one
since
so
you
know
participating
on
this
and
kind
of
listening
to
what
everyone
is
saying.
N
I
think
the
name
has
to
have
some
type
of
continual
analysis
to
it,
some
type
of
continual
improvement
in
it
that
it
just
doesn't
say
every
five
years,
you're
doing
this
or
five
years.
We're
doing
that
and
to
what
janet
had
said.
Commissioner
manuel
had
mentioned.
Maybe
the
the
name
or
some
type
of
version
of
this
could
be
city
department,
equity,
analysis
committee,
because
we're
we're
dealing
with
equity,
we're
dealing
with
analysis
of
departments
in
their
performance
in
regards
to
that
and
it's
continual
and
it
doesn't
have
a
timestamp
on
it.
F
H
H
What's
your
vision,
they
talk
about
like
dream,
big,
what's
your
endgame
here
so
almost
to
include
you
know
the
end
game
in
that
name,
because,
ultimately,
that
is
the
goal
of
you
know
not
only
that
the
our
group,
but
you
know
even
of
the
commissions
so
that
that's
all-
and
I
guess
I'd
like
to
say,
I
think
we
should
pause
and
wait
for
a
little
while
and
kind
of
figure
that
out
to
get
it
right.
F
Yeah,
we'll
let
this
marinate,
I
really
appreciate
all
of
this
feedback
and
you
would
think
it's
something
as
simple
as
a
name,
but
it
no.
I
think,
we're
at
the
point
now
everything
that's
going
on
with
2020.
It's
just
taught
us
not
to
just
bite
our
tongue
and
beat
around
the
bush.
It's
like
nope.
What's
our
end
game,
this
is
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
right.
So,
thank
you
so
much
everyone.
This
helps
me
a
lot
to
be
continued.
A
Thank
you,
morgan.
Thank
you
for
all
that
work,
and
you
know
what
you're
really
trying
to
do
is
also
define
the
mission,
so
the
name
is
helping
to
really
guide
the
mission
of
the
group
and
in
a
lot
of
ways.
This
really
is
a
committee
of
the
whole
because
we're
all
going
to
have
to
be
feeding
really
important
work
back
to
this
committee
and
supporting
this
enormous
effort
that
morgan
and
the
group
is
undertaking.
So
thank
you.
A
Any
other
questions
comments
concerns
for
this
committee
as
it
moves
forward
and
our
all
of
our
committees
are
going
to
be
trying
to
meet
at
least
once
in
between
our
monthly
meetings.
I
know
the
workforce
equity
group
has
been
meeting,
often
more
than
once,
because
of
the
just
the
pace
at
which
things
are
happening,
so
there
will
be
lots
to
do
thanks
again,
morgan
for
taking
that
on
appreciate
it.
A
Okay,
then,
moving
on
to
the
next
piece
of
our
agenda,
we
have
is
allah
with
us
for
some
policy
and
legislative
updates.
O
O
Welcome
to
all
the
new
folks,
it's
really
exciting,
to
see
new
people
on
the
commission.
To
those
who
don't
know
my
name
is
atlet
mohammed.
I
am
a
policy
coordinator
for
the
office
of
the
mayor
and
I
also
am
joined
here
by
my
colleague.
Yes
there.
She
is
jordan,
who
I
will
let
her
her.
I
will
let
her
introduce
herself.
P
Hi
for
those
who
I
have
not
met
before
my
name
is
jordan
fields,
I'm
also
a
policy
coordinator
in
the
office
of
equity.
P
Sure
so
I
have
two
very
brief
updates,
the
first
being
about
the
appointments
project.
We
are
working
with
the
women's
foundation,
who
is
looking
to
assist
us
in
getting
more
women
on
municipal
boards
and
commissions.
So
we
are
very
excited
about
that.
We
are
actually
looking
for
community
partners
or
local
organizations
who
can
reach
out
to
their
respective
networks
and
recommend
and
encourage
women
to
attend
the
women's
foundation,
trainings
that
are
being
offered,
and
so,
if
anybody
has
any
recommendations,
we're
probably
going
to
look
at
gwen's
girls,
the
women
and
girls
foundation.
P
But
we
are
open
to
any
suggestions
you
all
might
have
for
other
organizations
that
you
think
might
be
able
to
help
and
then
also
so.
In
regards
to.
I
know
we
talked
about
gender
inclusive
language
in
the
city
code
during
our
last
meeting,
so
we
proposed
kind
of
a
two-pronged
approach
to
this
update.
P
The
first
part
would
be
drafting
an
ordinance
replacing
gendered
language
in
the
first
eight
titles
of
the
city
code,
and
so
hirsch
is
actually
working
on
that
now.
That
was
approved
by
the
mayor,
as
well
as
an
executive
order
which
we're
drafting
calling
on
other
city
departments
and
agencies
to
replace
the
gender
language
in
their
documents
and
forms.
P
So
if
that
is
something
that
the
gec
is
interested
in,
doing,
we've
also
reached
out
to
the
lgbtqia
plus
commission
who's
going
to
serve
as
an
advisor
and
we'd
like
for
you
to
also
be
involved
in
that
process.
I
think
that
is
it
for
me,
but
two
very
exciting
projects,
initiatives
that
I
think
will
benefit
the
city
greatly
questions.
I
see.
G
P
The
first
eight
titles
of
the
city
code.
A
First
to
eight
titles:
leigh's
got
a
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
was
finding
everybody's
hand
and
jordan
before
lee
jumps
in
with
a
question.
I
know
we
mentioned
before
for
the
women
on
boards
project
that
the
executive
women's
council
in
pittsburgh
has
been
doing
this
work
for
a
long
time,
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
when
we've
got
local
initiatives
and
efforts
that
do
exist,
that
we're
building
on
those
and
not
stepping
on
people's
toes.
Can
you
repeat
that
one
more
time
the
executive,
women's
council
yeah
and
that's.
I
Exactly
what
I
was
going
to
say
jessie,
I
think
it
needs
to
be
clear.
They've
been
working
on
this
for
years
and
they've
really
gotten
women
into
many
particularly
government,
but
also
some
corporate
situations,
and
this
has
been
one
of
their
major
projects
over
the
years.
So
it
would
be
really
important
to
not
just
include
them
but
to
have
them
part
of
the
planning
process.
Since
they've
been
doing
all
this
contacting
for
a
long
time.
A
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
about
the
inclusive
language
initiative
moving
forward
too,
and
I'm
personally
available
to
volunteer
to
help
with
any
of
that
jordan
with
you
and
hersh
happy
to
do
that.
I
was
really
excited
to
work
on
the
commission
on
human
relations
work
when
we
did
a
little
bit
of
that.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Personal
interest
of
mine.
O
Yeah,
that's
awesome
to
hear
that
you
want
to
help
jesse,
because
right
now,
hersh
has
only
covered
the
first
two
articles
and
it's
90
pages
long
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
edits
to
be
done
and
any
help
that
we
can
get
will
be
greatly
appreciated.
But
so
right
now
we
are
trying
to
to
finish
that
up
and
then
we'll
get
it
to
you
and
to
the
lgbtq
ia,
commission
and
and
we'll
take
the
next
steps
from
there
before
submitting
anything
to
the
administration.
O
So
thank
you,
jordan.
My
other
updates,
for
you
include.
O
Here
we
go,
anu
asked
me
to
actually
give
a
quick
update
about
where
the
lgbtqia
commission
is
at
and
right
now
the
applications
to
to
join
the
commission
have
closed
and
they're
actually
just
reviewing
the
applications
right
now
and
going
through
that
process.
I
hope
I
can
give
you
more
more
of
an
update
next
month,
but
there's
not
really
much
to
to
say
right
now.
O
Obviously
you
know
that
several
months
ago
I
think
several
months
ago
now,
a
new
like
represented
the
gec
at
a
task
force
meeting
and
submitted
recommendations
on
behalf
of
the
gec
right
now.
The
task
force
is
continuing
to
meet
weekly,
but
the
meetings
are
no
longer
public.
O
They
are
now
simply
working
on
the
report,
so
they
have
a
draft
put
together
and
they're
meeting
multiple
times
a
week
to
try
to
get
language
right,
they're,
taking
this
very
seriously
and
so
they're
I
mean
they're
spending
like
hours
talking
about
the
phrasing
and
the
framing
of
a
single
sentence,
so
we're
we're
hopeful
that
that
will
be
done
soon.
I
will
give
you
an
update
next
month
about
that
as
well
and
then.
Finally,
my
last
update
for
you
all
is
about
the
letters
of
supports
that
anew
has.
J
We
we
sort
of
collectively
worked
on
the
first
one,
and
then
I
use
that
as
a
template
and
as
the
policy
team.
If
you
flag
things
for
me,
I
will
continue
to
to
get
them
back
to
you.
The
timing
doesn't
always
work
where
we
could
get
it
to
commissioners
and
turn
it
around.
O
Yeah
cool
so
just
wasn't
sure
what
everyone
already
knew
about,
but
a
new
drafted
two
letters
of
supports,
one
about
protecting
the
health
and
wellness
of
babies
and
pregnant
women
in
custody
act,
and
then
the
other
was
to
pass
the
maternal
health
pandemic
response
act
of
2020.
O
both
of
those
were
penned
and
sent
over
to
us.
Our
policy
team
is
just
reviewing
them
at
the
moment
we
sent
a
new
some
feedback
about
one
of
them.
I
think
the
second
one
we're
still
working
on
and
we
also
send
forward
recommendations
about
who,
in
the
state
in
the
state
government,
we
can
send
that
letter
of
support
to
and
ask
to
to
represent
it
to
to
the
rest
of
the
legislative
committee.
But
that's
all
I
have
for
you
on
that,
and
that
is
actually
the
end
of
my
report.
A
Looking
around
for
hands
or
little
all
right,
no
questions.
Thank
you
both
so
much.
Thank
you
super
appreciate.
It
lots
going
on
glad
to
have
you
both
with
us.
Okay,
then,
jumping
on
to
new
business
and
action
requests.
I
didn't
get
any
requests
ahead
of
time,
but
we
always
take
space
in
the
meeting
for
any
action
requests
from
the
floor.
So
this
would
be
time
if
we've
got
new
business
things
that
need
our
attention
or
advocacy
kinds
of
related
things
that
you'd
like
to
bring
to
our
attention.
A
A
We've
got
that
space
in
the
meeting
if,
if
things
come
up
and
for
those
of
you
of
you
who
are
relatively
new
to
joining
us,
also
remember
that
we
do
have
an
advocacy
process
and
there's
a
document
that
you
can
use
to
follow
how
we
will
do
signing
on
of
letters
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
some
of
that
is
pretty
well
documented.
Everything
is
in
the
google
folder.
A
How
many
times
have
we
already
said
that
today
the
beloved
google
folder
so
check
those
out
if
you
need
all
of
that
all
right,
so
I
don't
see
any
new
business
or
action
requests
from
the
floor,
so
we
are
moving
on
to
the
conclusion
of
our
meeting,
we'll
actually
summarize
with
our
action
items,
and
then
we
do.
I
know
we
have
at
least
one
public
comment
and
we'll
give
a
new
a
chance
to
check
in
and
see
if
there
are
any
others.
A
But
connie
are
you
ready
to
try
to
read
back
all
of
these?
This
is
like
the
live.
Improv
part
of
everything.
J
G
G
Yeah
well,
but
then
I'll
use
it
to
move
your
work
forward.
That's
what
I
was
trying
to
say
then
in
the
executive
committee
update
by
jessie,
she
invited
the
gec
to
add
action
items
to
the
gec
workflow
document.
G
So
if
there's
anything
that
you
all
see,
you
should
that
we
should
work
on
or
that
the
gc
should
work
on
moving
forward
to
add
it
there
in
the
leadership
and
governance
committee
committee,
section
sabrina,
oh
in
relation
to
the
secretary
roll
to.
If
anyone
wants
to
take
this
position
to
let
her
know
via
email,
or
they
can
say
it
now-
anybody
all
righty.
G
L
G
G
D
G
Oh
no
policy
update
jordan
asked
us
to
do
two.
Things
wants
the
gc
to
use
our
networks
to
suggest
other
organizations
and
women
to
be
a
part
of
the
women's
foundation,
training
for
that
work,
for
the
appointments
project
and
then
also
for
us
to
help.
Oh
for
the
inclusive
language,
to
help
to
help
the
city
departments
like
in
our
work
to
change
the
language
in
their
specific
department,
department
documents
and
that's
it.
A
Thank
you
kalani
and
it
does
sound
like
there
are
a
number
of
updates
that
are
going
to
be
coming
your
way
via
email
this
month
from
some
of
the
committees.
So
please
do
keep
a
a
look
in
your
inbox.
We
generally
try
not
to
overload
you
with
a
lot
of
announcements
in
between
our
monthly
meetings,
but
it
looks
like
we
will
have
some
business
that
might
need
your
attention,
setting
some
dates
and
some
other
things
and
documents
coming
your
way.
So
we'll
try
not
to
fill
up
your
inbox
too
much
colony.
A
J
And
many
of
you
will
remember
so
part
of
how
the
gender
equity
commission
came
into
being
is
through
tireless
efforts
from
the
pittsburgh
for
cedaw
group,
which
of
course,
commissioner
lee
fogerty,
who
name
is
mine,
because
I
sent
her
my
link.
Oh,
that
looks
like
there
are
two
of
me
here,
but
so
commissioner
fogerty
represents
the
patricida
group,
but
the
steering
committee
chair,
marcia
bandies
when
we
were
meeting
in
public,
I
think,
came
to
almost
every
meeting
and
has
very
kindly
so
you
kalani
for
your
last
meeting
very
kindly.
J
She
shared
two
thoughts.
The
first
was
when
we
were
talking
about
community
engagement,
marsha
bandy's
sent
the
question:
can
you
set
priorities
until
you
listen
to
the
people
affected
and
which
they
believe
will
help
them
the
most
and
it
might
differ
community
to
community?
So
I
think
that's
to
help
us
keep
thinking
intentionally,
and
I
think
I
really
want
to
just
underscore
both
marsha's
question
and
what
I
heard
many
commissioners
say.
J
I
I
feel
very
good
about
the
gender
equity
commission,
making
sure
that
the
decisions
that
we're
thinking
about
or
the
priorities
or
the
policies
that
we
always
think
about
what
the
people
most
affected
are
telling
us
and
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
those
voices,
so
that
was
marcia,
wanted
to
also
underscore
that
she
then
would
like
to
suggest
that
the
book
the
moment
of
lift
by
melinda
gates
is
well
worth
reading
and
I'm
just
reading
directly
from
her
email.
J
Now
it
so
exceeded
my
expectations
that
I
just
have
to
recommend
it.
This
is
not
a
book
touting
the
bill
and
melinda
gates
foundation.
Rather
it's
about
her
education
and
the
role
of
gender
equity
in
solving
many
of
the
challenges
that
face
communities
in
poor
countries
by
spending
time
with
women
in
these
communities
how
women
came
together
to
educate
her
or
verbalize
what
they
need.
And
surprisingly
it
was
not
what
people
thought
it
was
and
by
listening,
the
women
also
came
up
with
solutions
that
would
work
in
their
culture.
J
Reading
this
book
I
got
excited
all
over
again
as
to
what
we
can
accomplish
with
the
follow-up
phases
of
the
gender
analysis.
So
it's
a
nice
note
to
end
on
and
marsha's
been
with
us
on
the
journey
or
before
the
journey
started
for
us
as
a
community.
So
I
thank
her
for
her
suggestion
and
that
is
it.
I
will
check
my
email
one
last
time.
I
do
not
believe
there
are
any
other
comments
that
have
come
in
janet's.
J
Oh,
yes,
I'm
sorry,
it's
the
moment
of
lift
by
melinda
gates,
I'm
almost
feeling
like.
Oh,
let's
have
a
book
club,
but
I'm
not
gonna
ask
for
any
more
of
your
time.
You're
all
too
busy
I'll,
maybe
I'll,
give
you
a
synopsis
I'll
do
one
of
those
like
here's
a
two-minute
reading
of
it.
But
yeah
did
you
get
the
title
dinner
great.
K
K
J
A
A
Thank
you
for
that
and
marcia.
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
We
are
desperately
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
incorporate
more
people
into
our
meeting
so
that
you
can
be
with
us.
The
youtube
format
doesn't
let
us
have
people
speak
live
with
us,
so
we
have
to
do
this
via
email
for
now,
but
we
appreciate
it.
A
We
are
almost
at
the
end
of
this
year.
It
is
coming
if
we
2020
really
will
end
we
will
get
there.
I
just
need
a
motion
to
adjourn.
