Description
City of Charleston Human Affairs and Racial Conciliation Commission 10/20/22
A
B
Carol,
how
are
you
can
you
hear
us
well
sounds
like
you
can?
Yes,
yes,
I
can.
Yes,
thank
you
just
want
to
double
check
I'd
like
to
call
this
evening's
human
Affairs
and
racial
conciliation,
commission
meeting
Thursday,
October
20th
2022
to
order
I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
start
with
a
invocation
just
do
a
moment
of
silence.
B
Thank
you
next
on
the
agenda
is
the
approval
of
our
current
agenda.
I've
had
some
time
to
look
at
it.
I
I
move
that
we
approve
this
evening's
agenda.
The
motion
was
approved
and
properly
seconded.
All
in
favor
of
approving
tonight's
agenda
indicate
by
saying
hi
hi
any
Nays
the
eyes
Prevail
tonight's
agenda
is
approved.
We
do
have
some
visitors,
I
believe
for
public
comment,
so.
D
D
Both
go
cougs
both
currently
work
in
the
private
sector,
but
have
previously
previously
spent
time
in
the
public
sector
Nikki,
among
other
things,
working
for
the
ACLU
and
for
the
Biden
Administration,
and
ran
working
for
Senator,
Rob
Portman
and
for
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
So
one
of
the
things
that
is
fills
my
heart
is
to
see
that
young
leaders
can
actually
reach
across
the
aisle
and
not
only
that
come
come
next.
D
B
B
Yes,
yes,
I
was
up
there
for
three
years
and
we
moved
back
in
09
so
well
welcome
to
town
yeah
I.
Don't
think
we
have
anyone
for
public
comment
unless
you
guys
want
to.
You
know,
leave
a
public
comment.
Okay
with
that
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
the
minutes
of
our
9
15
22
meeting
all
in
favor.
B
E
You
thank
you
Jason,
so
I
have
a
couple
of
updates
for
you
this
evening
on
October
13th
I
met
with
the
racial
Equity
core
team
that
team
leaders
are
Monique,
Avery,
she's,
HR,
trainer
coordinator,
Chloe
stuber
who's.
Here
with
us
today
she
is
the
senior
planner
and
Robin
kid
she's,
the
stormwater
Outreach
coordinator
and
also
Mindy
she's,
a
part
of
our
team
as
well.
We
have
other
employees
who
work
with
the
City
of
Charleston
who
are
part
of
this
team.
We
discuss
many
things
as
far
as
our
commitment
and
recruitment.
E
We
also
discuss
attending
some
of
the
departmental
meetings,
because
we
know
that
the
City
of
Charleston
has
a
culture,
but
then
we
also
have
a
subculture
in
the
different
departments.
So
we're
going
to
start
meeting
with
those
different
different,
departmental
heads
and
their
meeting
times.
I
also
met
with
Norfolk
on
the
survey.
So
they
do
a
survey
here
for
the
City
of
Charleston
employees
to
look
at
the
Dei
questions
and
how
those
questions
are
answered
and
what
the
results
were
from
those
questions.
E
E
Also,
just
for
your
information
and
creating
Partnerships
MUSC
Department
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
will
be
having
their
inclusion
to
Innovation
Summit,
which
is
mapping
the
course
of
a
preeminence
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
and
that
will
be
held.
November,
7th
and
I
will
send
out
the
link
to
that
and
I'm
also
see
if
we
could
possibly
be
a
sponsor.
That
concludes
my
updates.
E
B
D
C
B
Bob
I
knew
why
we
had
you
for
a
reason.
Thank
you,
Bob.
Just
for
clarification
for
folks
that
are
listening,
Adrian
has
used
the
term
Dei
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
That's
just
a
common
term
for
for
that,
for
those
three
three
terms
together,
just
want
to
make
sure
folks
are
aware
of
that
anything
else.
Adrian
on
your
report,
all
right.
Moving
on
to
our
rules
and
operations,
approval
from
last
meeting
one
of
the
action
items
was
that
we
would
approve.
B
We
sent
you
all
earlier
and
ahead
of
this
meeting.
Some
of
the
potential
policy
changes
is
just
a
way
for
us
to
basically
create
the
rules
moving
forward
for
this
commission.
So
if
you
all
had
an
opportunity
to
review
them,
we'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
approve
those
this
evening,
move
adoption
all
right.
Any
discussion
on
this
item.
B
C
You
have
a
question:
I'm
sorry
I,
just
looked
at
it
today,
so
I
I'm
wondering
shouldn't
shouldn't.
We
be
including
the
most
recent
vote
by
the
council
that
amended
the
harc
I'm,
calling
it
The
Establishment
ordinance
whatever.
That
might
be,
that
changed
the
way
that
vacant
seats
could
be
appointed.
If
if
they
are
not
filled
through
meetings
in
a
row,
then
the
mayor
has
the
authority.
C
F
The
Second
Amendment
allows
for
the
mayor
to
appoint
if
a
vacancy
occurs
for
three
months
of
not
attending.
So
an
individual
who's
been
appointed
to
the
to
the
commission
by
one
of
the
city
council
members,
both
of
those
ordinances
allow
us
to
move
forward
with
our
work,
and
it's
really
important
and
we
appreciate
Council
taking
rapid
action
on
it.
B
D
B
B
F
The
city's
10-year
master
plan
that
was
adopted
in
October
of
2021
several
months
before
the
commission
was
created
in
several
a
couple
months
after
the
commission's
initial
recommend.
Final
report
was
not
accepted
by
the
by
the
castle.
The
master
plan
has
in
it
substantial
number
of
Concepts
and
language.
That
is,
is
consistent
and
highlights
our
responsibility
to
address
questions
of
equity
and
I
thought.
It
would
be
a
good
starting
point.
Actually
another
tool
in
our
toolkit
to
have
Chloe
come
back.
F
She
did
last
last
meeting
provided
some
information
about
the
story
map
which
is
a
tool
in
our
tool
kit.
We
now
have
a
set
of
rules
to
govern
ourselves
and
we're
moving
forward
in
that
regard.
I'd,
like
you
know,
to
ask
her
to
give
us
an
overview
of
the
master
plan,
with
particular
attention
to
the
sections
on
resilience
and
equity
and
things
relevant
to
work
thanks
and.
B
As
Chloe
makes
her
way
up,
I
think
just
to
add
to
that
you
know.
Number
eight
on
our
agenda
tonight
is:
is
the
Task
Force
areas
of
focus
aka
the
work
groups
that
that
we've
created
that
mirror
the
special
commission
work
groups
so
tonight
we're
actually
going
to
start
digging
into
that
throughout
tonight,
assigning
folks
to
those
work
groups
and
then
getting
to
work
on
looking
at
those
recommendations.
A
A
F
A
So
I'll
use
this
slide
to
Showcase
this.
So
the
city
plan
is
our
10-year
comprehensive
plan.
It's
primarily
primarily
a
document
that
guides
land
use
and
development
in
the
city.
So
it's
really
focused
on
the
built
environment,
but
it
does
take
into
consideration
the
social
impacts
of
decisions
made
about
the
built
environment,
and
so
this
is
guiding
policy
changes,
Investments
processes,
programs
over
the
next
10
years
that
will
influence
land
use
and
development
throughout
the
City
of
Charleston
there
at
the
state.
A
It
covers
these
these
elements
here
so
population,
natural
resources,
cultural
resources,
Economic
Development,
Transportation,
Community
facilities
and
priority
Investment,
Housing
land
use
and
then
lastly,
the
one
that
I'm
going
to
focus
on
today
is
a
resilience
and
Equity
element.
The
resilience
element
was
not
required
prior
to
2020
by
the
state.
So
that's
a
new
requirement
and
we
made
the
decision
to
expand
on
that
by
addressing
equity
and
resiliency.
A
As
being
interdependent
goals,
so
they're
interwoven
throughout
the
plan
and
the
resilience
and
Equity
chapter
functions
as
a
summary
of
how
it
is
interwoven
throughout
the
planet
highlights,
it
goes
into
more
detail
about
what
those
mean
and
provide
specific
recommendations
to
those
points
that
aren't
already
captured
somewhere
else.
In
the
plan.
A
So
and
I
apologize,
this
font
is
a
little
hard
for
you
all
to
see
and
the
handoffs
that
I
gave
you
don't
don't
have
the
slides
that
I'm,
showing
so
I'll
just
I'll,
make
sure
everybody
I'll
make
sure
Adrian
has
these
to
send
out
to
folks
afterward
and
I'll
touch
on
what
is
highlighted
here.
So
this
is.
These
are
just
snapshots
from
the
plan
itself,
and
this
is
talking
about
the
resilience
and
Equity
framework.
A
We
established
a
framework
that
guided
the
planning
process
itself
and
the
planning
document
and
how
we
compiled
it
and
the
recommendations
that
were
made,
so
the
framework
is
based
on
Three
core
principles.
The
first
is
that
an
agenda
to
build
resiliency
of
the
community
must
begin
with
achieving
equity
and
any
strategies
for
resiliency
should
prioritize
addressing
existing
disparities
and
protecting
vulnerable
communities
from
any
unintended
negative
impacts
of
new
policies
or
Investments.
A
Number
two
is
that
there
are
existing
disparities
that
deny
certain
communities
equal
access
to
Opportunities
and
healthy
environments,
and
increase
their
vulnerability
to
disasters
and
climate
related
displacement.
The
third
is
that
communities
are
inherently
stronger
and
more
resilient
when
we
can
meet
the
unmet
needs
of
all
community
members.
A
Sorry,
in
addition
to
advancing
the
recommendations
included
in
the
plan
that
specifically
Advance
equity
in
general,
all
future
planning
decisions
and
actions
to
continue
to
apply
an
equity
lens,
and
it
offers
up
these
guiding
questions
as
a
way
to
actualize
an
equity
lens
in
the
planning
process.
So
one
are
the
impacted
communities
playing
an
active
role
in
the
decision-making
process.
A
Number
two:
how
does
this,
whether
it's
a
policy
project
or
decision
or
action?
How
does
this
address
existing
disparities
and
prioritize
underserved
communities?
The
third
is:
what
measures
are
in
place
to
ensure
this
benefits
all
residents
equitably
and
then,
finally,
what
are
any
potential
unintended,
negative
impacts
on
vulner
populations
and
what
are
strategies
to
prevent
such
impacts?
So
these
questions
should
really
be
embedded
in
any
kind
of
process
to
help
us
address
existing
disparities
and
prevent
perpetuating
those
disparities
into
the
future.
G
F
A
Yes,
so
that,
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
chapter
we
Define
both
resilience
and
Equity.
The
city
plan
also
has
a
glossary
of
terms
very
extensive
glossary
of
terms
Adrian.
Maybe
we
can
talk
afterward
about
getting
Commissioners
copies
of
the
city
plan.
If
you
all
would
like
to
have
that
as
reference
and
I
believe
we
have
enough
copies
to
make
that
possible,
so
resilience
considers
the
impacts
of
flooding,
high
water
and
natural
hazards
on
individuals,
communities,
institutions,
businesses,
Economic,
Development,
public
infrastructure
and
facilities,
and
public
health
safety
and
Welfare.
That's
a
lot.
A
This
is
a
this
is
the
definition
given
by
the
state
for
the
this
element
and
the
comprehensive
planning
context.
Then
the
second
definition
Equity
is
the
same
definition
that
you'll
find
in
the
special
report
from
the
previous
commission.
So
we
in
the
process
of
putting
this
plan
together,
Amber
and
I
worked
together
and
sort
of
making
sure
that
the
report
in
the
city
plan
were
speaking
the
same
language.
A
So
we
have,
we
made
sure
our
definitions
aligned
that
our
language
made
sense
together
and
she
provided
a
lot
of
feedback
on
the
plan
itself.
So
Equity
is
the
guarantee
of
fair
treatment,
access
opportunity
and
advancement
while
at
the
same
time
striving
to
identify
and
eliminate
barriers
that
have
prevented
the
full
participation
of
some
groups.
A
So
I'm
this
is
going
to
be
pretty
impossible
for
you
all
to
see
so
I
did
bring
a
handout
here
and
this
and
for
those
on
watching
on
Zoom
or
YouTube.
Let
me
shoot
through
these.
Let
me
just
get
folks
online.
If
you
want
to
follow
along
with
us,
you
can
view
the
entire
plan
on
charlestoncityplan.com
and
I'm
going
to
take
y'all
through
the
racial,
sorry
resilience
and
Equity
recommendation.
A
Matrix,
that's
in
the
last
chapter
of
the
plan,
starting
on
page
142.,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
everything,
because
it's
it's
exhaustive.
It
would
take
us
all
day
to
go
through
everything,
but
I
did
want
to
just
hit
on
some
of
the
the
key
points
that
I
think
are
most
relevant
to
the
work
of
the
commission
and
then
I'm
happy
to
remain
here
and
answer
any
questions.
Folks
have
so
the
recommendations
in
the
plan
address
primarily
in
terms
of
overlap
with
what
was
in
the
report.
A
It
addresses
primarily
economic
empowerment,
Health
disparities
and
environmental
justice,
history
and
culture,
and
housing
and
Mobility
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
then,
in
the
nature
of
the
plan,
being
a
land
use
and
development
document.
It
did
not
address
directly
Criminal
Justice,
Reform,
Youth
and
education
or
internal
review,
and
the
way
that
we've
structured
this
Matrix
so
I'm
going
to
go
back
here.
So
folks
can
at
least
see
the
format
that
we're
looking
at
is
at
the
top
here.
A
So
I'm
going
to
do
a
quick
overview
for
each
element
and
it's
in
alphabetical
order,
not
in
the
order
of
the
plan
itself,
so
Community
facilities
and
priority
investment.
It's
mostly
the
ones
that
we
pulled
out
here
is
highlighting
storm
water
and
flooding,
Solutions
and
infrastructure.
We
know
that's
a
real
need
in
the
community,
and
so
basically,
how
does
this
when
we're
applying
an
equity
lens?
It's
who
gets
that
interest
who
gets
those
infrastructure
improvements?
First?
A
A
There's
a
lot
there
again,
Food
For
Thought
towards
the
economic
empowerment
task
force.
There's
a
lot
of
alignment
already
in
the
city
plan
with
what
was
in
the
Special
commission's
Report
engagement
is
not
addressed
in
either.
Is
is
not
addressed
in
in
this
special
report.
It's
not
currently
on
the
task
force
list
and
it's
not
really
a
land
use
and
development
thing.
A
I
did
just
want
to
highlight
that
and
ask
that
each
task
force
take
a
look
at
that
section
and
those
recommendations
there,
because
we
we
have
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement
at
the
city
in
this
area
and
a
lot
of
good
recommendations
came
out
of
the
city
planning
process
for
how
we
can
improve
the
way
that
we
interface
and
engage
with
communities
and
involve
them
in
decision
making
processes.
And
so
this
is
a
really
important
list
of
recommendations
that
I.
A
F
Park
specifically
addresses
the
role
of
heart
and
Outreach
and
communication
and
facilitating
that
so
your
comments
about
the
relevance
of
that
particular
particular
set
of
recommendations
are
will
be
important
to
all
of
our
groups
as
we
as
we.
We
walk
through
that
I
noted
with
some
interest
that
there
is
a
resource
of
need
identified
in
that
and
whenever
we
begin
to
talk
about
what
we
spend
money
doing
is
important.
A
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
a
good
engagement
done
well
does,
does
cost
money-
it's
not
it's
not
so.
Housing
is
primarily
focused
on
affordable
housing.
I
think
folks
have
been
following
along
with
efforts
of
the
city
in
the
past
several
years.
A
lot
of
us
will
seem
familiar
to
you.
You
know
creating
more
affordable
housing,
different
ways
to
create
a
diversity
of
housing
types
available
for
all
income
levels.
A
So
there's
a
lot
of
specific
recommendations
about
that,
but
there
is
one
on
here
that,
where
there
hasn't
been
as
many
concerted
efforts
on
that,
I
did
want
to
raise
up
and
I
think
this
does
have
to
do
with
economic
empowerment
in
terms
of
home
ownership
and
housing,
as
is
the
way
that
it
ties
to
wealth
building
and
economic
stability
through
housing.
So
this
is
a
recommendation.
This
is
the
last
one.
A
A
It's
it's
a
lot
of
very
technical
sort
of
planning
things
that
really
support
other
recommend
that
it's
a
zoning
application
of
other
recommendations
in
the
plan,
so
I'm
I
I'm
not
going
to
highlight
much
there,
except
for
again
with
related
to
history
and
culture,
continuing
research
and
Outreach
efforts
with
African-American
settlement
communities
to
ensure
that
future
development
and
land
use
recommendations
are
in
concert
with
communities
goals
in
the
natural
resources.
Section
IT
addresses
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
alignment
with
what
was
in
the
health
and
environmental
disparities
or
sorry.
A
And
then,
finally,
the
resilience
and
Equity
recommendations
that
are
specifically
addressing
resilience
and
Equity,
so
I'm
going
to
go
back
here.
Some
of
these
are
more
focused
on
specifically
the
the
hazards
of
climate
change
and
flooding
more
generally,
and
how
do
we
become
a
green
City?
I
do
think
it's
important
to
note
that
when
it
comes
to
things
like
the
climate,
the
city's
climate
action
plan
reducing
emissions,
you
know
more
sustainable
methods
of
building
those
types
of
things.
A
A
How
do
we
Empower
individual
property
owners
and
small
scale
developers
to
play
a
more
prominent
role
in
not
just
resiliency,
but
affordability
in
the
Charleston
area?
Number
nine
is
addressing
food
deserts
through
more
urban
Agriculture
and
Community.
Gardens
12
is
looking
at
understanding
extreme
heat,
especially
how
this
will
affect
lower
income
and
elderly
community
members
who
have
limited
ability
to
adapt
to
extreme
heat
and.
D
A
That
I've
highlighted
is
just
what
I
said
earlier
about
all
of
the
recommendations
in
The
Matrix
that
I
presented
being
prioritized
I
did
forget
to
the
last
one
is
actually
the
transportation
one
I'm
not
going
to
touch
on
that
one
it
again.
This
is
just
the
the
theme
of
increasing
mobility
throughout
the
city,
multimodal
Mobility,
so
essentially
not
just
cars.
F
D
D
There
were
some
resources
available
to
this
city
and
probably
to
this
committee
to
recommend
how
those
resources
are
expended,
and
that
is
through
the
process
of
us
getting
Federal
grant
Monies
to
build
Low
Country
Rapid
Transit,
375
million
dollars
in
total,
there's
an
advanced
package
of
that
of
a
million
dollars.
That's
going
to
look
at
in
the
region
and
the
City
of
Charleston
is
about
four
miles
up
to
20
along
that
route.
D
Think
that's
something
that's
actionable
literally
now
and
if
we're
looking
for
something
that's
actionable
now,
which
we
are
Mr
co-chair.
I,
think
that
we
ought
to
chase
after
those
resources
and
use
them
to
our
benefit
up.
I'm
gonna
say:
could
we
have
a
brief
overview
of
the
program
because
all
it
might
not
be
familiar
with
it?
It's
something
that
sure
so
low
country,
rapid
transit
in
and
of
itself
is
a
Transit
project
that
is
funded
Co
-extensively
between
the
federal
government,
which
just
got
approved
and
the
Charleston
County
have
said
sales
tax.
D
D
So
in
terms
of
the
particulars
of
it,
we
are
in
the
planning
stages.
We
have
the
green
light,
go
we're
funded
and
the
rooting
of
it,
and
we
should
probably
get
a
copy
of
to
you
all
of
the
actual
rooting
of
it.
It
runs
from
the
fairgrounds
in
Latson
to
the
east
of
I-26.
It
will
not
be
running
down
the
I-26
Corridor.
D
It's
going
to
come
down,
52
down
the
Rivers
Avenue
Corridor
through
the
neck
of
the
peninsula,
down
Meeting
Street
across
Calhoun,
turning
right
to
the
north,
on
Lockwood
running
through
the
Medical
District
and,
like
I,
said
ending
at
West
Edge.
It
is
going
to
touch
on
in
effect
many
of
the
communities
that
we're
concerned
about,
and
you
know,
I
think
one
of
the
questions
of
displacement.
So
we
need
to
get
you
all
and
we'll
we'll
get
it
through
your
office.
D
I
think
the
best
thing
to
do
is
distribute
the
rooting
of
it
and
and
the
planning
of
it
so
and
we're
in
the
planning
stages.
Now,
in
fact,
we
have
just,
as
you
saw
the
Secretary
of
Transportation
was
in
town
this
week.
He
was
coming
chasing
behind.
The
grant
of
that
money
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
expending
them
appropriately,
and
you
can
be
sure
that
he's
very
interested
in
making
sure
that
the
communities
along
that
route
prosper
in
every
way,
shape
or
form
that
that
word
means
right,
equitably,
Prosper.
D
So
we're
dedicated
to
that
very
dedicated
to
that.
We
have
an
Outreach
coordinator
by
the
way
who
works
with
the
BCD
Cog
Morgan
Grimes.
We
ought
to
bring
her
to
this
commission,
so
you
can
hear
from
her.
She
goes
out
and
does
outreach
daily
about
this
and
is
in
the
communities
that
we're
talking
about
not
just
in
the
City
of
Charleston
but
in
the
region,
but
I
mean
we're
not
limited
I,
don't
think
to
just
the
boundaries
of
the
City
of
Charleston
and
making
sure
that
good
works
are
done.
D
So
in
its
basic
form,
it's
a
large-scale
Transit
process.
Is
it
going
to
displace
a
lot
of
people?
No
we're
going
to
build
it
mostly
along
existing
infrastructure,
but
is
it
going
to
change
the
face
of
the
community
drastically
and
and
I
do
believe
that
we
can
have
a
lot
of
influence
over
that
and,
as
as
a
person
in
a
position
to
move
that
forward.
G
D
No,
it
doesn't.
It
comes
down.
Essentially,
if
you
want
to
know
the
ratings
52
Rivers
Avenue,
it's
sort
of
zigzags
through
the
neck
and
then
comes
down
King
Street
Extension
to
Meeting
Street
through
Mount,
Pleasant
Street
right
there
we'll
build
a
big
Hub
and
then
it'll
come
down.
Meeting
Street,
like
I,
said
across
Calhoun
take
a
right
to
the
north,
along
Lockwood,
weave
through
the
Medical
University
and
and
just
by
Joe,
Raleigh,
stadium
and
and
Gadsden
green.
D
So
it's
right
rise.
It's
not
rail.
It's
rubberized
over
50
percent
of
it
will
actually
be
100
dedicated
space
for
Transit.
The
other
fifty
percent
will
be
Advanced
dedicated
space,
so
we
can
move
through
it
faster
when
it's
completed
by
the
way,
and
this
should
be
lost.
Anybody
we're
going
to
go
from
nothing
in
the
entire
State
it'll,
be
the
longest
single
track,
Transit
project
of
its
kind
in
the
country.
D
So
if
we
go
from
zero
to
a
thousand
very
quickly
and
and
and
the
plan
is-
and
it's
going
to
be
executed,
is
it
will
be
built
as
one
not
in
segments
the
day
it
opens?
The
entire
stretch
will
be
operational,
so
thinking
about
what
those
communities
look
like
and
one
of
the
things
I
would
recommend
you
all.
Do
it's
really
I?
D
Did
it
not
too
long
ago,
go
anywhere
up
near
West
edge
of
the
Medical
University
and
go
up
high
to
a
high
floor
on
some
of
those
tall
buildings
and
look
to
your
North
and,
as
you
see,
North
Charleston
Rivers
Avenue
spread
before
you.
That
is
the
route
that
it's
going
to
come
down
and
then
close
your
eyes
and
envision.
What
that's
going
to
look
like
in
10
or
15
years.
It's
going
to
transform
that
corridor
for
sure.
D
If
you
need
any
evidence
of
that,
if
you've
all
been
to
the
health
line
in
Cleveland,
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
have
ever
been
there
that
went
from
a
a
a
really
blighted
routing
to
something
now
that
it's
it's
its
own
economy
and
dare
I,
say
it
almost
its
own
government
and
it
is
really
transformed
that
area
as
an
area
of
opportunity
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
talking
to
them
at
that.
So
Richmond
they've
just
done
it
too.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Mike
that
that
you
know.
I
I,
really
appreciate
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
here
that
haven't
gotten
that
kind
of
bird's
eye
view
from
you,
so
I
I
would
look
forward
to
getting
more
details
for
the
whole
commission,
but
I
mean
it
just
sounds
like
timing
is
everything
and
and
then
maybe
maybe
we
need
to
adjust
our
task
force
areas
of
focus
to
to
combine
Transportation
with
economic
empowerment
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
missing
out
on
you
know
these
strategic
opportunities.
C
So
we
can
talk
about
that.
I
guess
at
your
next
item,
but
it's
it
is
very
exciting
and
it
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
if
we
don't
jump
on
the
concept
and
the
funding,
then
we
will
we'll
be
out
and
somebody
else
will
be
in
so
I
I
I
think
this
is
the
kind
of
inside
baseball
info
that
we
should
take
advantage
of.
Thank
you.
A
A
We
want
to
have
Community
conversations
focused
on
what
would
anti-displacement
measures
look
like
and
how
do
we
so
we're
using
the
peninsula
plan
process
as
a
vessel
to
have
those
conversations
on
the
peninsula
in
you
know,
at
the
same
time
as
having
those
More
Design
oriented
sort
of
technical
planning,
discussions
related
to
Transit
oriented
development,
so
that
is
an
opportunity
coming
up
through
all
these
next
year.
So
if
the
commission
is
interested
in
working
on
that
issue,
then
there
is
that
opportunity
for
a
partnership
with
the
planning
department
with
that
process.
Okay,.
F
We
have
later
on
agenda
the
notion
that
we
would
move
toward
picking
some
areas
for
us
to
delve
into
to
get
some
work
done,
but
one
of
the
big
picture
things
that
we
have
on
the
plate,
the
first
as
a
matter
of
fact,
the
first
item
in
terms
of
prep
duties
and
responsibilities
that
we
have
to
report
on
is
provide
recommendations,
mayor
and
City
Council
on
development
of
a
racial
Equity
framework.
I
know
in
as
you
made
your
own
presentation
that
I've
reviewed
a
plan.
F
There
is
language
that
suggests
a
framework.
The
city's
adopted
the
master
plan
to
what
degree
and
I
can
ask
them
members.
The
council.
Does
that
already
constitute
the
framework
right
if
you
go
back
over
those
four
questions,
I
guess
is
that
the
framework
that
the
city
has
already
adopted
in
this
do
we
need
to
amplify
that
any
further.
D
That's
an
interesting
and
probably
a
little
bit
complicated
question,
but
I
think
generally
the
answer
that,
in
short
form,
is
yes,
that
is
the
framework.
I
mean
it
from
a
50,
000
foot
level
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
infill
that
needs
to
go
into
that
framework
and
I
think
really
devil
being
in
the
details
right.
That's
a
lot
of
the
opportunity
that
we
all
have
sitting
around
this
table
is
to
is
to
do
that
that
infill
so,
but
there's
more
to
come
and
and
Chloe
brings
up
a
really
good
point.
D
There's
there's
just
no
way
and
and
as
we
have
an
RFP
out
right
now
for
for
our
consult
for
Consultants
to
help
us
help
guide
us
through
the
peninsula
plan
and
it's
very,
very
heavily
weighted
towards
Equity
considerations.
I
mean
it
would
I
think
be
something
that
this
commission
would
be
happy
with,
seeing
it's
out
there
in
the
public
realm
and
and
interestingly
and
just
anecdotally-
and
it
was
more
frustrating
yesterday
than
it
is
today.
D
The
groups
that
actually
presented
to
us
that
we
chose
on
the
short
list
to
hire
to
be
that
struggled
a
little
bit
with
that
and
we
we're
going
to
sort
of
build
through
and
make
sure
we've
got.
The
right
group
coming
in
to
do
it
so-
and
you
know
I
mean
understandably
struggle
and
it
just
is
part
of
the
process.
So
long
answer
but
I
think
yes,
is
for
the
short
answer.
Chloe
may
have
a
different
view
or
Jason
or
Steven
I,
don't
know
I.
A
I
would
just
I
would
incur
if,
if
the
commission
does
want
to
use
that
framework,
I
do
think
it
makes
sense
to
build
on
it
for
sure
and
to
use.
You
know
to
not
start
from
scratch
necessarily,
but
I
would
encourage
the
commission
to
review
it
carefully
and
thoughtfully,
and
if
you
have
things
you
want
to
add
to
it,
change
to
it.
I
think
it's
worth
a
conversation
I
would
in
full
discretion.
It
was.
A
It
mostly
came
from
my
brain,
which,
which
I
have
a
lot
of
amazing
people
that,
throughout
my
career,
have
have
taught
me
a
lot.
So
it's
not
just
me
reflected
in
that.
It's
a
lot
of
my
mentors
in
the
past
and
community
members
that
have
taught
me
a
lot,
but
it
did
mostly.
It
was
not
yeah
it
was.
It
was
done
as
we
were.
F
F
Well,
I
know
they
have
a
lot
of
the
resources.
I
also
noticed
from
Reading
the
equity
section
that
the
Riley
Center
community,
Assistance
Program,
was
actively
engaged
in
in
that
work.
They
they
may
also
be
a
resource
for
us
in
as
we
focus
on
the
framework
and
look
at
moving
this
moving
this
forward.
Yes,
yeah,
absolutely
Commissioners,
so
the
questions,
so
we
know
that
there
is
a
master
plan.
We
know
that
the
definitions
of
equity
and
a
framework
begins
to
be
washed.
There.
F
I
would
highlight
the
fact
that
the
master
plan-
and
it's
you
know
what
it
contains.
The
section
element
contains
a
purpose
key
terms,
a
data
section
and
then
recommendations.
Okay,
the
special
commission
report
has
far
more
detail.
It's
far
more
granular
than
that
there
are
there's
an
executive
summary,
the
long-term
goals,
their
objectives,
strategies,
performance
measures,
evaluation
tools,
suggested
lead
staff
and
then
a
municipal
accountability,
entity
identified
and
then
a
due
date.
Okay.
F
So
when
we
begin
to
look
at
the
master
plan
and
compare
it
to
the
alignment,
which
is
the
next
piece
of
work,
that
we
want,
the
US
to
break
down
and
do
is,
is
going
to
require
a
little
bit
of
more
attention
and
maybe
even
getting
some
feedback.
You
know,
as
Mike
has
talked
about
what's
happening
with
the
rapid
rail
piece
and
other
conversations.
F
F
My
one
question
again
to
the
commissioners
based
on
this
presentation.
Is
there
anything
that
was
talked
about
that
we
should
ask
whoever
provides
us
with
the
next
level
of
orientation
Workshop.
You
know
that
we
should
pay
particular
attention
to.
Is
there
any
anything?
Particular
you
think
would
be
very
helpful
to
have
more
information.
We,
you
know
we
keep
pulling
on
Chloe
and
we'll
probably
pull
on
the
the
folks
in
the
budget
section.
As
at
some
point
for
the
discussion.
B
I
think
just
to
add
to
that
the
answer
is
yes
and
I.
Just
wanted
to
make
Adrian
make
sure
we're
all
aware
that
we
are
still
planning
a
a
workshop
for
a
group
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
still
on
the
radar,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
mentioned
because
I
think
that's
going
to
help.
Inform
continually
inform
our
decisions
and
discussions.
F
B
B
D
B
Did
a
great
job
representing
the
city
and
representing
for
me
filling
in
some
of
those
blanks
around
Low
Country,
Rapid
Transit.
The
other
thing
that
I
do
want
to
mention.
That
goes
to
Bob's
question
about
some
of
the
Rail
lines.
We
have
the
Lowcountry
low
line
project,
which
is
also
in
the
works,
and
that's
also
another
project
that
we
should
put
on
our
radar
to
discuss
so
I'm
gonna,
as
we
as
we
think
about
the
next
three
Focus
areas.
B
B
F
F
All
right
it'll
be
comment
on
every
recommendation,
but
we'd
like
in
fact
Mary
Rory
from
look
I
would,
for
example,
in
history
and
culture
would
suggest,
because
we
are
nationally
in
a
very
heavy
debate
and
the
City
of
Charleston
is
investing
a
lot
of
resources
in
cultural
activities
both
to
support
tourism
and
just
to
literally
recap,
for
our
history,
quick
examples.
The
city
council
passing
two
million
dollar
appropriation
to
support
the
mother
Emanuel.
F
F
Maybe
as
as
impactful
all
right,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
activity
going
on
in
that
particular
not
to
say
anything
about
the
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
going
into
the
opening
of
international
African-American,
Museum
and
so
I.
Just
you
know,
while
the
impact
the
broader
impact
onto
moral
impact,
is
there
I
think
the
history
and
culture
piece
is
Central
to
the
work?
That's
that's
going
on.
G
B
C
B
B
C
Yeah
I
I,
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
I,
try
not
to
have
strong
opinions
on
record,
but
I
I
do
feel
pretty
strongly
that
we
can't
stretch
ourselves
too
thin
in
in
this
first
attempt
at
you
know
getting
our
hands
around
the
details
of
our
of
our
mission
directed
work,
so
I
I
don't
want
us
to
do
a
bad
job
on
anything
and
I
do
feel
like
just
listening
to
this.
You
know
conversation
around
the
table,
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
not
there,
but
the
the
melding
I
mean
I.
C
Remember,
educating
my
congressman
in
Northern
Virginia
back
in
the
90s.
When
he
was
talking
about.
Oh,
we
can
do
affordable
housing.
You
know
like
20
miles
away
out
where
there's
like
two
lane
roads
getting
commuters
to
to
their
house
and
I
looked
them
in
the
eye
and
I
said
you
can't
do
housing,
that's
affordable
representative
without
having
the
ability
to
have
Transit
and
transportation
to
get
to
housing
that
you're,
hoping
will
be
affordable.
C
We
should
take
on
that
low
line
and
obviously
the
best
Rapid,
Transit
and
and
and
marry
ourselves,
maybe
to
the
economic
empowerment
part
of
our
tourism
Mission,
making
sure
we
don't
miss
the
the
opening
of
the
IAM
and
and
helping
them
achieve
their
goals
to
make
sure
that
their
black
owned
businesses
front
and
center.
So
I
I
really
do
feel
like
we
should
try
to
find
the
cross-cutting
and
and
I
don't
know.
C
Jerry
I
know
criminal
justice
is
your
baby
and
you
know,
obviously
we
all
live
and
breathe
that
every
time
we
open
the
newspaper
so
I
don't
want
to
put
that
on
a
back
burner.
But
in
terms
of
the
Synergy
between
the
things
that
you
all
were
just
talking
about,
I
I
guess
I
might
be
putting
Transportation
or
Transit
and
Mobility
on
there
and
taking
off
criminal
justice
in
the
short
term
and
knowing
that
CPAC
is
doing
work
that
can
be
dovetailing
exactly
and
what
our
commissions
you
know.
Focus
should
be
will
be
foreign.
D
B
D
On
at
city
council,
thank
you,
Mike
and
I.
Do
I,
do
have
a
life
and
I'm
about
to
walk
out
the
door
and
go
spend
some
of
it
with
my
goddaughter
or
her
fiance,
but
I'm
happy
on
the
transportation
side
to
bring
the
resources
that
are
available
to
me,
including
me
to
that
and
happy
to
share
those,
because
we
really
do
have
some
resource
and
we're
excited
about
expending
them
and
I
do
think.
D
It
would
be
a
real
opportunity
for
this
commission
to
get
some
some
interjection
of
that
resource
without
spreading
people
here,
who
are
already
very
spread
thin
even
further,
so
I
would
recommend
we
support
it.
Put
it
on
our
radar
sooner
rather
than
later,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
excuse
myself
all
right
and
thank
you
all
for
having
me.
B
G
So
history
and
culture
is
already
bringing
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
museum
has
come
it's
going
to
open
in
January,
February
January.
So
for
me
it
comes
down
to
we've
got
economic
empowerment,
Criminal
Justice,
Reform,
history
and
culture
seems
to
be
kind
of
cooking
along
pretty
well
already,
and
the
transportation
side
is
just
so
fundamental
if
you
want
to
have
housing,
that's
affordable.
G
Well,
the
fundamental
of
freedom
is
being
able
to
have
a
place
to
live
and
then
get
out
to
the
goods
and
services
that
you
need
and
that's
transportation,
and
you
can
either
have
the
goods
and
services
near
where
you
live,
and
you
don't
need
to
have
a
car
because
you
live
in
affordable
housing
in
town
and
you
can
walk
to
the
corner
market
or
you
have
to
live
further
away
and
then
drive
or
get
to
it.
Somehow
it
it.
G
G
No
I
was
just
gonna
say
we
use
a
lot
of
words
that
are
powerful
and
important
and
passionate,
but
one
the
word
that
we
don't
use
enough
I
think
is
opportunity
because
that's
that's
where
things
take
place
and
transform
it's
giving
people
opportunity,
not
just
an
outlaw.
So
this
is
true
opportunity.
That's
immediate
and
I
feel,
like
our
responsibility,
is
to
offer
up
as
much
opportunity
to
folks
as
we
can
and
when
we
have
a
plan
in
place
that
actually
has
money
funded.
G
B
So
respect
of
our
time
and
and
making
sure
that
we
don't
bite
off
more
than
we
can
chew
what
I'm?
What
I'm
hearing
is:
economic,
empowerment
and
housing
and
Mobility
are
the
two
groups
at
least
two
sub
subgroups.
We
want
to
focus
on
so
that
really
the
question
is
which,
which
one
are
we
going
to
not
so
much
remove
but
prioritize
as
a
second
wave
is
a
Criminal
Justice
Reform
or
history
and
culture.
So
that's
really
the
question
we
need
to
address
Criminal,
Justice,
Reform
or
history
and
culture
Jared.
F
F
there
is.
The
department
has
been
making
progress
on
internal
type
of
data
collection
and
changing
some
of
his
policies
and
the
like.
It
has
not
been
able
to
communicate
that
to
the
public,
so
the
benefit
of
those
Investments
have
not
have
not
been
realized
yet
the
enough
just
a
number
of
things
are
happening
so
and
criminal
justice
and
Public
Safety,
and
that
the
the
is
unfortunate
that
that
subcommittee
was
called
criminal.
F
So
it's
important
and
the
attention
if
we
can
get
the
one
way
to
get
this
done,
we
can
jump
back
off
and
we
could
ask
the
Public
Safety
Committee
the
standard,
Public
Safety
Committee,
to
take
up
the
discussion,
councilman
Shane,
to
take
up
the
discussion
and
move
that
forward,
and
then
we
can,
if
we
ask
them
to
do
that
and
then
proceed
with
our
work
in
those
other
three
areas.
I
think
that
would
be
okay,
I'm.
H
You
know
all
sorts
of
discriminatory
practices
really
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
that,
and
it's
easy
to
support
something
like
that.
Until
we
see
a
shooting
on
King
Street
and
then
the
reactionary
policies
come,
they
target
communities
that
don't
want
them,
and
you
know
we
had.
We
had
that
fight
over
the
over
the
the
the
rental
registry
ordinance.
H
You
know
we
wanted
to
focus
it
on
the
East
side
and
Councilman
Mitchell
spoke
very
passionately
about
why
we
are
always
pointing
to
the
east
side
rather
than
you
know,
broader
factors
and
anytime.
You
go
to
live
five's
website
or
the
posting
Courier
you're
going
to
read
a
story
about
Croton.
This
is
this
is
an
everyday
issue
in
our
communities
that
tears
or
that
sort
of
draws
people
back
and
forth
towards.
H
In
an
ideal
Society
versus
sort
of
the
society
we
have
and
I
think
it
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
you,
know,
Bridge
a
gap
and
make
sure
that
people
understand
that
changes
that
benefit
people
do
not
make
us
less
safe
and
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
room
to
make
that
argument
and
and
make
our
community
safer
in
the
process
and
and
I
I
think
that
is
what
people
in
the
community
will.
H
B
F
So
but
the
sense
of
the
conversation
is
that
we
establish
a
focus
on
Transportation
housing
and
Mobility,
and
economic
empowerment
and
criminal
justice.
Okay,
all
right,
I
agree,
I,
get
that
sense
from
the
Commissioners.
That
will
be
it.
So
our
next
role
and
task
is
for
those
for
us
to
identify
which
of
us
are
going
to
work
on
which
of
those
subcommittees.
Mike
has
already
agreed
to
lead
to
transportation
and
housing
activity
who
is
going
to
hold
up
their
hand
on
criminal
justice.
F
F
G
F
We've
and
we've
got
councilman
Sacrament
has
got
to
go
someplace
and
Council.
Commissioner
long
has
also
has
to
to
land,
so
our
intent
is
for
those
groups
to
meet
some
scheduled
meetings
to
review
the
information.
That's
in
the
master
plan
and
the
recommendations
that
are
in
the
special
commission
report
to
come
up
with
a
list
of
recommendations
for
actions
to
move
forward,
recommendations
that
will
be
made
to
the
city,
council
and
and
or
the
mayor.
F
C
F
The
recommendations,
and
as
they
are
in
line
or
or
not
in
line
with
the
the
mass
a
plan
the
if
we
have
through
the
core,
the
equity
core
team,
any
information
about
things
that
are
evolving
that
were
not
was
not
captured.
That
I
think
can
be
brought
in.
So
we're
talking
about
the
plans,
the
master
plan,
the
final
report,
okay,
the
equity,
the
equity
core
team
activities
and
any
information
like
Mike
brought
in
that
can
come
into
the
commission.
Okay,.
C
F
One
of
one
of
the
other
things
that
I
would
note
from
Chloe's
presentation
of
the
resilience
and
Equity
component
on
she
I
identified
where
the
recommendations
in
each
of
the
elements
had
an
equity
component,
but
she
also
indicated
that
there
were
other
reports.
Okay,
that
were
relevant
to
those
I
mean
so
a
lot
of
the
water
related
stuff,
the
train
of
the
transportation
related
pieces.
So
our
home,
though
those
documents
also
okay,
are
relevant,
but
they're,
not
the
most.
F
The
most
fundamental
I
I
would
think
that
we'd
get
input
from
staff
all
right
and
employees.
If
there's
something
hot
happening
in
in
from
one
of
those
reports.
This
is
an
important
step.
You
know
for
on
our
part,
Adrian
we'd
ask
you
to
to
work
with
folks
to
get
these
meetings
scheduled
and
we'll
work
to
get
put
together
a
cover,
a
template.
F
F
G
F
So
just
a
couple
things
that
I
want
to
know
the
on
the
cultural
history
side
of
the
fence,
the
Charleston
literacy,
literary
Festival
in
November
is
happening
and
a
number
of
the
authors
coming
to
town,
including
Eddie
Claude,
and
who
folks
here
on
MSNBC
a
lot
as
a
talking
head
and
Imani
Perry
who's,
a
professor
at
Princeton
University,
whose
most
recent
book
talks
about
how
Southern
Culture
is
really
not
Southern.
Culture,
it's
National
culture.
F
It's
an
interesting
conversation
I
would
urge
Commissioners
to
take
an
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
that,
and
also
ask
you
if,
as
you
come
across
things
that
you
think
might
be
informative
for
the
commission
to
make
us
aware
of
those
so
that
we
can
be
become
involved
and
involved
in
that
that
kind
of
activity,
and
we
need
to
begin
also
to
think
about
how
you
know
we're.
You
know
a
process
I'll
ask
this
question.
Let
me
ask
it
this
way.
C
G
F
H
C
H
H
D
H
C
H
F
So
why
don't
we
make
sure,
as
we
get
the
session
scheduled
and
it
should
talk
we'll
talk
to
the
chairs
and
if
you
want
to
invite
members
of
the
special
commission
as
I
understand,
their
willingness
to
talk
through
explain,
provide
clarification,
answers
to
what
is
written
in
the
report.
That
might
not
be
clear
to
to
to
folks
that
might
be
helpful,
so
that
is
kind
of
our
first
baby
step
for
engagement.
Okay,
we
do
have
to
think
about
in
you
know
between
now
and
December.
F
Do
we
have
any
other
public
engagement
other
than
this
meeting
before
we?
You
know
we
make
a
presentation
or
do
we
develop
our
report,
our
eliminary
report
and
include
in
our
preliminary
report?
How
are
we
going
to
do
more
public
engagement
afterwards,
but
that's
again
another
point
for
discussion
in
the
future.
Okay,.
G
Something
they've
done
in
another
city
that
was
really
successful,
it'd
be
nice
to
have
sort
of
a
central
repository
of
the
data
that
we
come
up
with
for
our
commissions,
and
that
is
also
perhaps
one
way
to
engage
the
public
because
they
can
see
this
is
these
are
what
we've
been
looking
at
as
we
come
up
with
it.
So
I'd
just
like
us
to
think
about
a
way.
I,
don't
know
how
to
organize
that,
but
maybe.
F
F
F
Our
education
entities
might
be
of
assistance
to
us
in
in
this
work
and
I
also
becoming
aware,
we've
been,
as
Chloe
mentioned
earlier,
involved
in
on
the
history
on
the
settlement
community,
on
trying
to
develop
a
network
and
a
wide
range
of
organizations,
including
the
museums
and
the
foundations,
are
engaged
and
involved.
In
that
conversation,
we
haven't
put
an
infrastructure
to
it
yet,
and
perhaps
some
resources
can
emerge
you
know
outside
of
the
city,
but
complementary
to
what
the
commission
is
doing
to
be
able
to
accomplish
some.
F
Some
of
this
so
keep
your
I
mean
if
you,
if
you
you
know,
all
of
us,
have
got
access
to
resources
and
ideas.
Let's
flow
them
into
to
Adrian
all
right
and
doing
our
in
our
conversation,
see
if
we
can
make
some
sense
of
it,
because,
obviously
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
this
work
just
on
Adrian
doing
her
work
and
the
members
of
the
core
team
from
the
city
taking
parts
of
their
work
to
do
their
Cisco.
If.
F
Right
and
you
suggest
somebody
will
have
a
pretty
robust
ability
for
the
public
to
communicate
with
us
in
a
good
set
of
information.
So,
let's
think
about
we're
building
this
you
know
we're
flying
the
ship
while
we're
building
it.
Okay
and
that's
okay,
but
let's
just
keep
thinking
about
how
we
can
take
it
to
the
next
level.
