So
at
this
time
I'd
open
it
open
it
up
to
everybody.
The
first
thing
to
talk
about
is
how
people
are
looking
at,
how
we're
looking
at
an
office
of
diversity,
inclusion
or
what
other
alternatives
that
we
might
look
at
for
a
city
manager
and
a
city
council,
along
with
the
community,
to
address
so
we'll
open
it
up
for
any
questions
from
anybody.

Voice-
I
don't
know
who's
speaking
now,
but
if
I
still
have
wi-fi
connection,
can
you
guys
hear
me
we
could
hear
you
go
ahead.
You
have
the
floor.
Oh,
I
was
just
going
to
say
I'm
very
grateful
that
it's
being
convened.
This
is
very
critical
discussion
that
I
am
very
grateful
for
all
stakeholders
president.
I
Can
you
hear
me
now
we
can
hear
you
all
right.
Thank
you,
mr
mr
councillor
robinson,
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
happy
that
we're
having
a
discussion
around
this
that
I
am
in
absolute
agreement.
Then
we
need
a
diversity
and
inclusion
portion
of
this
human
resources
department
where
we
can
try
to
diversify
our
staff,
a
little
more
to
reflect
the
community.
Their
study
after
study.
That
shows
that
the
more
diversity
that
you
have
in
any
setting
that
people
process
participants
even
has
left
immediately.
I
White
children
to
have
a
person
of
color
in
a
school
as
early
as
preschool
is
chose
to
really
just
have
significant
difference.
So
I'm
make
a
significant
difference
in
in
the
way
that
they
succeed.
So
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
having
this
conversation,
but
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
always
doing
it
from
a
place
of
intentionality,
and
I
would
like
ideally,
if
we're
going
to
do
something
like
this
to
have,
and
someone
come
in
and
maybe
assess
where
we
are
because
I
know
we
have
the
most
diverse
police
voice.
I
I
know
that
there's
a
level
of
diversity,
but
I
would
like
to
have
maybe
someone
come
in
and
kind
of
assess.
Where
is
it
that
we
stand?
Where
is
there
room
for
improvement
so
that
we
can
really
get
to
the
bottom
of
some
of
the
ways
in
which
we
perpetuate
these
systems?
That
we
don't
even
realize
that
we
do
so
yeah
happy
to
be
here,
grateful
for
the
young
people
and
the
work
that
they're
doing
and
for
us
as
leaders
to
be
opening
up
our
ears
and
listening
to
the
community.
So
thank
you.
J
A
Well,
moving
on
to
a
to
take
a
look
at
a
permanent
task
force
on
racism,
which
I
think
for
me
is
important
that
we
just
don't
put
things
in
place,
that
we
need
a
task
force
to
make
sure
that
these
things
are
going
to
be
carried
out
over
the
next
several
years
and
not
just
putting
something
in
place.
And
it
goes
away
in
here.
So
I
don't
know
how
people
feel
about
a
task
force
and
people
might
be
interested
in
serving
on
the
task
force.
B
As
we
discussed
this,
I
think
we
should
move
also
to
try
to
define
what
a
permanent
task
force
is
and
also
when
we
talk
about
folks
who's
interested
in
being
a
part
of
this
task
force.
We
should
lay
some
type
of
ground
rule
of
you
know,
what's
expected
of
them
and
also
if
they
have
to
be
chelsea
resident
if
they
have
to
be
a
chelsea
stakeholder.
B
A
Well,
yeah.
Those
are
very
good
points.
I
think
the
task
force
would
be
responsible
for
meeting
with
people
in
the
community
and
drawing
up
what
the
task
force
should
be
assigned
to
do,
and
what
the
makeup
should
be,
I
think,
should
come
from
sticking
into
the
community,
not
for
the
city,
council
or
city
managers
say
this
is
what
the
tasha
for
being
should
come
from
the
community
into
you
know
the
council
and
to
the
city
manager.
A
I
Right,
can
you
hear
me
yeah?
Okay,
I
just
want
to
add
that.
I
also
think
that
the
task
force
should
be
made
of
either
black
indigenous
or
people
of
color,
that
that
that
is
a
priority,
and
also
I'm
not
I'm.
I
know
typically
when
we
have
boards
in
the
city
or
commissions
that
they're
appointed
by
the
city
council
and
I'm
not
necessarily
sure
that
that's
what
needs
to
happen.
I
would
like
for
it
to
be
an
independent
civilian
board
that
maybe
it's
appointed
somewhere,
as
you
said,
council
robinson
that
it
comes
from
the
community.
I
A
M
I
believe
the
chelsea
youth
allian
alliance
foresees
some
form
of
just
cheryl
watson
by
the
way
task
force
to
monitor
what
the
city
government
is
doing.
The
meeting
that
I
had
with
them.
They
want
it
to
be
organic,
as
counselor
vidol
has
said,
and
they
want
to
participate
in
it
and
they
want
it
to
always
be
changing.
N
Thank
you.
Hopefully,
my
volume
is
not
too
high.
I
have
a
little
trouble
with
this
headset,
but
just
wanted
to
commend
you
all
and
the
chelsea
youth
that
have
been
leading
these
discussions
in
such
a
powerful
way.
I'm
here
today
within
my
role
as
school
committee
member
as
a
mom
resident
of
district
three
and
I'm
equally
concerned
with
all
of
you
about.
You
know
what
we're,
what
we're
seeing
and
also
holding
a
lot
with
pride
about
a
lot
of
the
good
work.
N
That's
happened,
and
how
can
we
continue
to
do
the
things
that
are
working
and
also
take
a
step
back
and
really
listen
and
do
a
really
good
job
of
listening
to
what
the
community
is
actually
bringing
forward?
So
I'm
afraid
that
this
conversation
is
happening.
I
can't
see
the
full
screen,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
other
school
committee
members
are
present
as
well.
You'll
see
dr
abbey
who's,
our
superintendent,
that
I'm
very
grateful
that
we're
able
to
continue
to
keep
these
discussions
going
throughout
our
community
in
our
respective
roles.
So
here
would
be
helpful.
D
N
G
L
A
G
G
If,
if
that
makes
any
sense-
and
you
know
it's-
how
how
do?
How
would
how
would
this
get
initiated
and
begun
so
that
it
would
draw
the
types
of
organic
movement
and
participation
from
the
community
that
everyone
seems
to
be
seeking,
would
folks
understand
what
boundaries
they
have
or
what
or
what
limits
they
might
not
have
and
where
they
can
go
to
try
to
investigate
and
look
at
issues
well,.
A
A
Thank
you.
Okay,
we've
got
some
members
from
the
young
chelsea
black
community,
the
just
a
little
either
way.
I
don't
know
if
these
were
in
the
other
room
when
we
started
so
we
kind
of
heard
how
we're
gonna
all
right.
So
I
wanna
say
thank
you.
So
the
last
piece
for
me
was
to
talk
about
a
program
of
comprehensive
and
mandatory
inheritance
bias,
training
for
all
employees
who
work
for
the
city
and
also
you
know,
reaching
out
to
other
agencies
and
asking
them
also.
A
A
A
O
This
is
going
to
require
a
fair
amount
of
engagement
and
discussion
within
city
hall,
about
which
pieces
of
this
are
doable
and
many
are
which
pieces
require
legislative
changes
and
some
do
which
pieces
just
for
various
reasons
we
can't
do,
but
by
no
means
am
I
prepared
to
do
that.
We've
just
started
our
discussion.
The
solicitor
and
I
had
a
wednesday
meeting
a
two-hour
meeting
this
morning
to
start
the
process
of
going
through
this.
O
We
have
two
meetings
scheduled
next
week
for
internal
department
heads
on
it,
but
I
am,
I
do
have
some
initial
thoughts
on
the
five
specific
proposals
that
were
directed
to
me
and
my
office
as
to
things
that
they
chelsea
young.
Adult
alliance
wanted
me
specifically
to
do,
and
I
do
have
some
initial
thoughts
on
those
which
I'm
happy
to
share
right
now
and
it
without
going
into
so
join
the
meeting
ten
minute
conversation.
O
O
And
so
I
accept
that-
and
I
think
I
have
probably
acknowledged
that,
both
verbally
and
in
writing.
So,
at
the
request
of
the
council
and
with
my
full
support,
the
city
declared
racism
as
a
public
health
emergency.
That
document
is
published,
submitted
to
the
councils
on
our
website
and,
I
think
inherent,
and
that
is
a
recognition
that
there
is
a
systemic
bias
in
institutions
that
need
to
be
addressed.
O
I
also
expressly
acknowledge
this
in
the
statement
that
we
had
done
a
while
ago,
but
actually
got
publicly
released
today
with
other
metro
mayors
in
this
region,
where
we
again
acknowledge
systemic
bias
in
government
institutions
and
pledged
to
address
it
through
various
actions,
many
of
which
this
council
has
already
talked
about
and
will
be
something
that
we
will
be
able
to
implement
here
in
chelsea.
So
I
feel
like
on
this
first
item,
that
it's
sort
of
accomplished,
if
someone's
looking
for
something
more,
I'm
happy
to
discuss
it.
O
The
second
item
is
a
request,
specifically
that
we
do
create
within
the
city
what
you
just
talked
about
an
office
of
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
I
am
in
full
support
of
that.
I
think
that
is
something
that
many
municipalities
have.
It
will
be
a
positive
step
forward
for
the
city
to
have
such
an
office.
I
will
give
you
two
caveats
to
it.
O
One,
the
request
is
that
it
be
within
the
hr
department.
I
would
argue-
and
after
talking
with
this
listener,
I
think
she
agrees
that
we
would
prefer
that
it
have
more
independent
status
and
be
an
independent
office
that
would
report
not
to
hr
but
to
myself
and
the
solicitor,
and
so
that's
what
we
would
be
proposing
in
the
creation
of
such
an
office.
The
only
second
cabinet
I
have
is
I'm
not
quite
ready
today,
but
I
will
be
ready
in
a
few
weeks
to
recommend
a
structure
for
this
office
and
a
budget
for
this
office.
O
O
O
I'm
going
to
jump
to
number
five,
because
it's
budget
related
as
well,
and
I
think
this
was
a
direction
that
this
is
a
another
sort
of
budget
issue.
But
it
was
a
demand
that
I
ensured
that
there's
better
civic
engagement
in
the
city's
annual
budget
process,
and
I
do
think
that
does
require
some
work
on
my
part
to
ensure
that
minority
communities
that
the
chelsea
black
community
is
more
engaged
and
I've.
O
After
giving
this
a
lot
of
thought
with
the
city,
switzerland,
today,
I
think
it
starts
with
explaining
the
budget
process
to
the
residents
of
the
city
more
so
than
we
have
in
the
past.
Municipal
finance
is
a
little
bit
of
a
strange
animal
and
it
does
take
some
understanding
of
it
to
understand
where
you
have
levers
within
a
municipal
budget
and
so
one
place.
I
can
start,
and
I
pledge
to
start
is
doing
in
january
what
I
have
sometimes
what
I've
done
for
new
counselors.
O
So
when
new
counselors
are
elected,
there's
a
training
session
that
we
run
as
a
city
for
new
councils
and
a
big
piece
of
that
is
a
training
on
the
budget.
It's
kind
of
a
less
than
101
on
municipal
budget,
and
I
think
I
could
present
something
really
helpful
to
the
community
to
the
chelsea
black
men.
It's
by
just
doing
some
powerpoint
presentation
in
january
in
a
school
classroom
or
auditorium
similar
to
what
I've
done
to
do,
counselors
and
just
walking
through
the
budget
process.
What
is
a
minister
budget?
How
does
it
get
funded?
O
O
Have
a
public
meeting
it
may
still
have
to
be
on
zoom,
but
hopefully
we
can
actually
gather
somewhere
and
I
can
do
a
training.
I've
done
training
for
a
newly
elected
municipal
officials
for
the
mass
municipal
association.
So
I
have
some
good
material
and
I
feel
like
that,
will
help
to
improve
the
level
of
engage.
O
So
I
think
in
doing
that,
I
can
respond
to
items
three
and
items
five
and
that
sort
of
leaves
item
four
and
item
four
was
that
we
re-evaluate
our
boards
and
commissions
to
ensure
that
they
are
proper
and
equitable,
and
I
the
boards
are
more
representative
of
the
city's
demographic
and
again,
that
is
on
me
to
make
sure
that
our
boards
are
more
reflective
of
the
community
than
they've
been
again.
I
hope
that
I
can
be
assisted
in
that
effort
by
the
diversity
inclusion
officer.
O
It
may
be
that
all
openings
kind
of
get
filtered
through
that
office
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
someone
with
that
equity
lens
is
looking
at
the
applicants
and
the
the
diversity
of
the
pool
and
is
part
of
any
interview
process.
We
do
so.
I
feel
like
I
can't
address
this
one,
but
again
with
the
assistance
of
this
director
of
diversity
inclusion.
O
I
would
expect,
if
you're
looking
at
timing
and
then
I'm
going
to
stop
that
if
the
council
were
to
adopt
the
appropriation
requests
for
this
new
office
in
the
month
of
september,
that
we
could
probably,
if
we're
if
we
act
expeditiously,
have
a
director
on
board
sometime
in
early
november,
anticipating
that
it
takes
about
30
to
45
days
to
try
to
find
good
candidates,
and
so
that
is
my
direct
response
to
the
five
items
that
were
addressed
to
me.
Now.
O
There
are
numerous
other
items
in
this
comprehensive
document
that
certainly
have
merit
and
a
deserving
of
attention,
and
all
I
can
assure
you
is
that
with
the
city
solicitor's
help,
I
am
engaging
the
required
departments
to
work
through
these
and
hopefully
have
some
similar
responses
to
you.
But
that
will
take
a
little
more
time
than
what
I
have
absolutely.
B
O
O
It's
not
outwardly
focused.
It
may
be
that
we
would
want
something
like
that,
but
that
would
not
be,
in
my
opinion,
at
least
the
focus
of
attention
of
this
officer
in
this
office.
This
would
be
we're
looking
to
address
internal
issues
at
city
hall
to
ensure
that
the
programs
and
policies
we
have
in
place
for
our
residents
are
are
reduced
of
any
inherent,
buy.
B
M
Can
I
just
interject
so
one
policy
that
you
may
review
is
how
we
issue
vendor
contracts
and,
as
you
know,
the
state
requires
minority
businesses.
Maybe
that's
something
she's
reviewing
how
we
catch,
whether
or
not
we
have
contracts
or
whether
or
not
the
contracts
we
issue
are
to
non-profits
for
for-profit
businesses
that
have
training
of
their
staff.
A
P
Thank
you
for
the
city,
the
city
manager,
for
the
city's
mission
report
building
us
these
questions
to
listening
to
our
requests
to
attending
our
rally
and
rarely
not
just
saying
it,
but
actually
putting
out
a
strategy
forward
to
really
care
about
our
problems
and
our
issues
and
come
up
with
solutions
that
kind
of
extend
up.
It's
one
thing
to
say:
hey,
I'm
going
to
establish
this
office,
but
then
there's
another
fortune
to
say
hey.
P
P
J
E
So
I
I
caught
some
of
that
it
was.
It
was
a
little
tough
with
the
echo,
but
I
I
can
say
that
any
any
situations
that
develop
that
certainly
something
sounds
like
there
may
be
a
civil
rights
violation.
What
we,
what
we
want
to
do
is
aside
from
just
looking
at
it
to
a
law
enforcement
lens.
We
want
to
understand
what
the
deep
voted
issue
is.
We
have
officers
that
are
trained
from
previous
occupations
in
conflict
with
evolution.
E
We
making
importance
to
send
operations
to
those
specific
type
of
calls,
if
not
that
day,
when
it
occurs
as
a
follow-up
jointly
thereafter,
so
we
can
basically
get
individuals
in
the
room
to
understand
what
the
what
the
conflict
is.
We've
been
very
successful
over
the
years
in
doing
just
that,
and
I
guess
it
just
kind
of
goes
towards
another
situation
where
police
officers
are
called
upon
to
really
wear
many
different
hats.
E
H
H
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
acknowledgment
that
there
is
systemic
racism
here
in
chelsea,
because
that's
where
it
starts,
it
stops
from
the
top
down
and
if
our
leader
is
recognizing
that,
then
all
should
fall
in
place
in
terms
of
finding
solutions
to
help
alleviate
systemic
racism.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
asking
and
responding
so
swiftly
to
the
five
points
that
you
brought
about
here
today
and
I
know
there's
over
50
demands
set
forth.
H
So
five
is
a
okay
start
and
we
just
look
forward
to
more
conversations,
and
I
just
thank
you
that
it,
the
resolution
was
taken
serious,
that
it
was
addressed
seriously
and
we
I
just
want
to
continue
to
have
such
conversations
because
it
it.
It
is
an
issue,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
all
of
that.
H
I
want
to
thank
you
for
even
going
as
far
as
the
budgeting
and
it's
one
thing
to
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
have
a
diverse
inclusion
office,
but
we've
also
taken
a
step
forward
to
unlock
the
budgeting.
That
needs
to
be
there
in
order
for
it
to
not
only
exist,
but
for
it
to
continue
on
the
longevity
of
this
office.
So
thank
you.

Q
Q
R
Q
Q
Q
Four
years
down
the
line,
what
has
happened?
Energy
appropriately
found
prevention
is
better
than
cure
fossil,
because
every
institution,
every
organization
has
this.
This
department
is
the
biggest
department
that
doesn't
run
the
budget
from
them,
and
so
the
money
you
pay
to
save
for
one
suit
pays
for
for
that
cost.
You
don't
want
somebody
to
say
the
last
code
of
this
order
for
that
position.
R
Q
A
A
P
For
those
on
the
camera,
I
was
off
to
the
side,
and
I
was
speaking
initially
from
the
side,
so
we
will
be
setting
up
a
town
hall
meeting
a
city-wide
title
meeting.
We've
heard
that
there
was
a
request
or
a
demand
to
really
get
the
city's
voices
out
there
in
a
in
a
in
a
facilitated,
open,
mic
dialogue,
kind
of
conversation
that
really
opened
the
doors
to
everyone
in
the
community.
P
We've
heard
a
few
individuals
speak,
but
we
want
to
hear
more
stories.
We
will
make
sure
that
there's
an
agenda
provided
that
it
is
that
that
the
speeches
do
occur.
The
stories
are
told
in
a
regulated,
concise,
clear
process,
so
that
will
be
coming
within
the
next
few
weeks.
With
that
being
said,
we'll
also
be
sure
to
keep
following
up
with
these
requests
and
seeing
how
these
seeing
how
these
are
processed
and
then
on.
On
top
of
that,
we'll
be
sure.
P
Although
we
do
have
the
narrative
that
we
could
all
kind
of
look
at
on
the
tv
every
day,
but
there
we
will
start
to
kind
of,
regulate
and
process
that
that
google
document
so
we'll
share
that
with
the
community
on
social
media
on
public
boards
on
community
boards.
The
task
force
will
continue.
This
conversation
we'll
make
sure
the
entire
community
is
heard,
we'll
we'll
make
sure
the
entire
community
does
hear
about
this
and
that
the
right
steps
are
taken
just.
S
Just
to
add
to
that,
we
also
want
to
start
setting
up
meetings
with
the
appropriate
heads
and
the
appropriate
places
to
further
the
steps
that
we
need
to
take
care
of,
such
as
the
superintendent
to
discuss
education
and
how
we
can
see
those
changes
come
to
fruition
there
and
just
to
add
to
the
topic
of
a
forum.
We
want
to
get
the
community's
voice
so
that
you
know.
S
S
In
place
that
make
it
appropriate
for
those
microaggressions
to
occur
and
go
without
punishment
and
without
you
know
being
changed
so
we're
definitely
gonna
start.
You
know
getting
the
community
more
involved
just
so
that
we
can.
You
know,
see
why
we
need
this
change
to
happen,
even
though,
as
kind
of
said.
P
P
So
we
do
expect
to
meet
with
the
chief
of
police,
with
the
head
of
housing,
with
the
head
of
public
health
and
with
the
head
of
sorry
with
the
superintendent,
and
we
do
know
that
there
have
been
pro
there
has
been
process
made
within
each
area,
but
we're
here
to
just
follow
up
on
that
process
and
make
sure
that
it
continues
to
be
made
and
will
be
made
four
five,
ten
fifteen
twenty
years
down
the
line,
and
we
don't
regress
on
that.
So
thank
you.
A
M
A
P
M
M
School
committee,
not
just
our
city
councilors,
so
I
believe
reverend
whitley
is
on
there
and
some
department
heads
and
both
police
unions
and
the
police
unions
as
members
of
our
patrolmen.
I
have
noticed
so
I
just
want
you
to
realize
that
it
has
been
a
community
effort
just
to
listen
to
you
tonight
and
I'm
proud
of
all
of
you
who
attended
this
meeting
via
web
ads,
because
we
can't
do
this
without
our
entire
food.
H
Was
in
the
other,
but
I
just
wanted
to
request
it
when
it
asked.
If
we
had
a
moment
of
silence
for
representative
lewis,
who
was
a
hero
with
civil
rights
as
civil
rights,
he
passed
leader
july
17
and
he
helped
organize
the
1963
monitor
in
washington
dating
part
of
the
freedom
right
and
with
the
leading
the
sovereign.
