Description
The Study Session taking place on Tuesday, July 17th 2018.
A
B
Chair
Councilwoman,
Hicks
Clayton,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
on
June
26
2018,
this
council
body
approved
the
first
reading
for
this
ordinance
to
establish
the
Commission
on
women
and
girls,
and
everyone
should
have
a
copy
of
it.
There
are,
or
there
were,
if
someone
needs
an
extra
copy.
I
have
an
extra
copy
here.
If
you're.
B
And
I
think
it's
important
to
stress
some
of
the
research
that
went
behind
the
scenes
on
this
particular
Commission
and
the
importance
of
the
Commission
there's
a
commission
in
Ohio
similar
to
this.
That
was
presented
a
lot
of
the
information
and
laid
the
groundwork
for
where
we
were
going
with
this.
So
I
just
want
to
read
if
I
may
share
for
those
who.
B
Copies
and
plus
we're
taping
our
study
sessions
now
which
I'm
elated
that
that's
happening,
I
think
that's
great,
since
we
work
out
a
lot
of
the
details
in
study
sessions,
so
the
Commission
on
women
and
girls.
The
purpose
of
the
Commission
is
to
bring
attention
to
report
on
monitor
issues
relating
to
concerns
and
opportunities
and
rights
of
women
and
girls.
This
is
not
meant
to
discriminate
and
I
want
to
stress
that,
because
I've
heard
from
different
folks
and
I
have
spoken
to
those
who
have
expressed
concerns
and
I
understand
those.
B
The
Commission
will
work
with
organizations
and
social
service
agencies
to
advance
gender
equality
and
promote
public
discussions
on
issues
that
impact
women,
and/or
girls,
and
this
includes
health
concerns,
health
issues,
employment
opportunities,
educational
opportunities,
as
well
as
recognizing
women
and
girls
for
their
contributions
in
our
community
and
again,
not
just
limited
to
gender.
That
Commission
will
work
with
the
mayor,
City,
Council
and
other
elected
and
appointed
city
officials
to
make
recommendations
that
promote
policies
that
address
the
concerns
of
and
promote
opportunities
and
I.
B
B
Well,
there
you
are
hey
he's
right
and
neither
you
snuck
in.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I
know,
you'll
probably
want
to
shed
some
light.
I
don't
want
to
misspeak
or
misrepresent,
especially
with
the
gender
and
any
type
of
discrimination,
because
we
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
and
if
you
would
I,
don't
know,
there's
more
detail
here,
because
this
is
a
multi-page
document
for
the
ordinance
and
certainly
I
would
like
for
our
attorney
to
present
that
side
of
it,
because
I
think
it's
very
important
to
hear
from
you
mr.
B
Miyake,
on
this
as
well,
and
then,
of
course,
the
rest
of
the
ordinance
lays
out
the
establishment,
the
composition
of
the
Commission,
the
meetings,
the
procedures
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
that's
what
I
have
for
opening
comments.
The
reason
I
wanted
to
I
know
as
a
council
member
when
I
made
the
motion
to
move
it
to
a
study
session
was
so,
the
public
would
be
able
to
have
input
and
QA
questions
answered
as
well
as
the
council
members
I
thought.
B
That
was
very
important,
that
each
council,
member
elected
official,
as
well
as
our
residents,
have
input
in
this.
You
have
questions
that
I
feel
should
be
answered.
We
want
to
hear
from
you,
and
you
are
part
of
this.
We
did
have
an
organizational
kind
of
getting
the
word
out
meeting
to
see,
engage
what
the
community's
response
would
be
and
it
was
very
successful.
B
Councilman
Weiser,
you
were
there
as
well
as
councilman
abdellah
was
there
and
I
think
there
was
probably
somebody
can
help
me,
maybe
thirty,
plus
people
or
more,
that
the
room
was
almost
too
small
for
us
at
the
Caroline
County
Library.
So
it
was
a
fabulous
group
with
a
lot
of
ideas
and
we
did
an
exercise
and
exploring
what
issues
were
important.
Some
of
the
subjects
and
the
board's
filled
up
quickly,
so
that
was
really
encouraging.
B
E
A
A
B
Says
relative
to
special
needs
and
concerns
of
all
ages,
races,
ethnic
and
cultural
backgrounds,
religious
beliefs
and
social
or
economic
backgrounds.
So
it's
not
policies,
it's
more
of
what
the
need
is
based
on
what
this
commission
gauges
based
on
networking
in
the
community
with
those
agencies,
and
so.
B
Is
they
route
it
through
the
appropriate
departments
in
the
city
to
get
that
addressed
that
and
there
not
policymakers,
that's
kind
of
a
that's
what
we
do
right,
but
what
they
do
is
they
work
with
appropriate
Department
to
say,
here's
what
we
see
happening
in
the
community,
and
this
is
our
issue,
and
what
can
you
do
to
address
it?
There
aren't
any
handicap
spots
at
this
business
and
there
should
be
according
to
the
American
disability
abuses.
So
that's
an
example.
A
D
Sure
I
have
a
concern
I
just
like
to
get
that
one
addressed
before
I.
Guess
we
we
vote.
I
know
we
can't
vote
today,
but
for
the
next
time,
if
we
can
address
the
issue
that
we
had
when
this
was
presented
at
one
of
the
meetings,
my
concern
would
be
is,
if
you
don't
agree
what
something
is
going
on.
If
the
council
doesn't
vote
for
something,
you
know,
I
just
didn't
like
certain
individuals
coming
in
and
making
threats
and
and
I
guess
it's
the
proper
word
to
use.
D
B
D
Actually
I
have
not
seen
any
I
mean
there
was
no
resolution,
I
mean
I
I
like
and
I
do
I
do
like
the
organization
like,
like
you
mentioned,
I
was
there
I?
Was
there
the
whole
time?
It
was
a
great
concept.
You
know
the
the
people
there
were
amazing
and
I
was
really
impressed
with
every
one
of
them,
but
I
just
didn't
like
that
portion.
When
it
came
in
front
of
a
council.
You
know
bashing,
council
and
also
bashing
the
mayor
I
thought
that
was
very
unprofessional
and
uncalled
for
yeah.
B
B
But
when
it's
acting
on
behalf
of
a
commission
like
if
I
get
up
and
speak
and
I,
don't
want
to
speak
for
anybody
or
misspeak,
but
if
I
get
up
and
say
hey
I'm,
Councilwoman,
Lisa,
exclaiming
I
should
put
you
know,
conduct
myself
in
a
professional
manner,
because
I'm
wearing
that
hat
and
I
would
you
know
I
have
that
same
expectation
of
this
commission
as
any
Commission.
You
know
you
would
so
I
hope
that
answers
that
question.
You
know
I
can't
speak
for
others,
though,
of
course
any.
F
C
F
I
would
note,
though,
is
that
the
issues
that's
been
raised
by
counsel
on
vanity
daddy
issues
is
not
really
something
that's
addressed
here.
We
really
can't
end
up
having
something
in
the
ordinance
that
would
deal
with
that
issue.
That's
more
of
an
issue
of
specific
personnel
and
maybe
is
something
that
means
never
being
addressed
in
terms
of
the
appointments
that
would
end
up
me.
Mates.
A
G
Being
on
fine
Commission,
we
well,
there
was
a
few
instances
where
we
were
recommended
stuff
to
the
City.
Council
and
City
Council
didn't
take
our
recommendations
and
that
was
brought
up
back
at
our
Planning
Commission
meetings.
Instead
of
bringing
it
to
the
public
forum,
I
don't
know
if
that
should
be
a
standard.
I,
don't
know.
If
that's
dan
is
that
something
that
you
know
I
mean
it's
hard,
bringing
up
an
issue
from
this
commission.
If
they
have
a
problem
with
us,
it
should
be
protocol
or
procedure
to
follow
up
in
a
certain
way.
C
H
C
C
So
but
we
always
try.
In
fact,
a
HR
director
is
a
woman
then,
and
we've
always
tried
to
maintain
and
Elizabeth
has
done
a
great
job
at
it
of
disregarding
gender
and
trying
to
get
the
best
person
in
the
position,
but
I
I
think
it's
more
of
a
I.
Don't
see
this
as
like
a
Planning
Commission,
Planning
Commission
makes
very
firm
decisions
and
I
agree
with
you.
They
study
things
were
hard
and
the
council
should
almost
every
time,
except
the
planning,
commission's
recommendations
of
my
estimation
unless
there's
a
real
real
exception.
C
F
Points
and
therefore
part
of
what's
the
check,
is
mayor,
basically
that
even
people
to
make
sure
that
people
are
the
kind
on
board
with
what
the
general
senses
within
his
administration,
this
council
body
with
regard
to
the
direction
that
they
want
to
see.
So
that's
one
challenge,
however,
if
that
check
doesn't
necessarily
work,
they
do
have
certain
First
Amendment
rights
and
rights
to
come
before
this
body,
which
gets
back
councilman
lentils
question.
F
He
would
not
be
able
to
say
hey,
you
can't
come
to
the
council
meeting
and
say
something
we
don't
like
you
just
said:
I
mean
you
could
say
that,
and
then
there
might
be
ramifications
politically.
We
can't
say
that
as
a
matter
of
law,
so
in
other
words,
you
can't
dictate
to
them
what
they
can't
say.
That's
why,
as
I
was
count
a
minute
unless
you're
Derek
Thompson
a
bad
cease
point
it's
important
to
choose
personnel.
Why
City.
G
A
E
E
B
Hooks
Clayton,
and
certainly
I,
can
agree
with
that,
but
I
think
there
was
a
motion
made.
There
wasn't
a
second,
so
it
would
have
died
completely
at
that
point,
which
is
why
there
was
a
second
motion
to
move
it
to
a
study
sesame
session.
Excuse
me,
which
is
why
that
was
made,
because
the
first
motion
simply
didn't
even
get
a
second,
which
would
tell
me
that
there
might
be
council
members
that
have
questions,
which
is
why
we're
here
so.
A
D
A
H
Go
ahead,
the
contract
was
proof
read
by
Sean
Mullan,
who
is
the
president
of
our
association.
He
was
on
vacation
when
it
was
sent
to
him.
That's
why
I
was
on
blast
agenda
and
not
to
agenda
before,
because
he
didn't
have
time
to
proofread
it
in
time
and,
as
you
stated
at
the
last
meeting,
is
we
do
not
sign
the
contract
until
after
we
approve
it,
and
then
you
approve
it
now
it's
a
binding
agreement
and
then
that's
when
he
him
the
mayor
and
the
clerk
all
sign
it
as
a
collective
unit.
H
H
Can't
sign
a
non-binding
agreement
until
it
is
approved,
it's
immune.
It
will
be
signed
as
soon
as
it
is
approved.
We've
all
the
majority
of
us.
I've
already
proved
it
as
soon
as
council
approves
it.
Now.
It
becomes
a
binding
agreement.
That's
whenever
all
parties
will
sign
it
and
becomes
a
matter
of
public
record
after.
A
B
B
C
E
A
A
D
H
G
I'm,
just
gonna
I
was
gonna,
say
what
custom
and
you
said,
but
we
just
don't
want
to
have
that
issue.
Just
somebody
putting
something
in
front
of
us
and
saying:
oh
yeah,
they
looked
at
this.
You
know.
Did
this
take
it
for
granted?
You
know
you
know
we
should
have
something
that
says
yeah.
We
did
look
at
no
I'm,
not
taking
anyone's
nuts
disagree
with
anyone.
If
you
said
you
looked
at
it
but
you're
just
you
stay
in
the
back.
That
I
said
yeah
we
looked
at
everything's.
Okay
is
not
nothing
legal,
no.
H
Met
miss
mr.
Moylan,
that
was
is
the
president
when
he
was
sent
to
copy.
He
proof
read
it
to
make
sure
that
there
was
no
erroneous
changes
to
make
sure
there
was
everything
we
agreed
upon
or
thing
was
in
there
correct,
otherwise
that
the
last
council
mean
when
he
was
here.
He
would
have
said
something
was
not
right.
If
something
was
not
right,
he
said
everything
was
fine.
So
that's
the
way
it
is
I.
G
H
F
Particular
contract,
which
I've
had
three
times
and
saying
look
you
switch
what
we
ended
up
providing
so
usually
the
best
thing
is
an
email
confirmation.
We've
never
had
a
problem
with
this,
except
for
the
long
contract
and
having
the
Union
submitting
to
a
particular
communication,
isn't
necessarily
I
think
necessary.
Maybe
you
asked
the
administration
time
about
providing
some
confirmation
in
terms
of
this
email
with
regards.
A
A
E
Know
and
some
of
the
dealings
that
I've
had
and-
and
somebody
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
this
is
a
tentative
agreement
and
then
once
it's
accepted
by
both
parties,
which
I
believe
it
already
has
are
the
last
step
is
for
us
to
approve
it.
Then
they
would
vote
on
it.
The
rank-and-file
would
vote
on
it
to
make
it
a
legal
document.
That's.
E
C
The
longevity
that
longevity
is
sort
of
like
the
cost
of
living
things
like
a
coal
like
javanese,
not
cost
of
living.
Longevity
was
put
in
the
very
first
contract.
I
was
told
here
then,
but
it
is
a
term
that
was
brought
over.
You
have
to
remember
the
first
mayor
was
the
UAW
negotiator
and
they
brought
a
lot
of
the
UAW
stuff
in
here.
So
in
those
first
agreements,
but
no
longevity
is
a
reward
for
continued
service
in
the
community.
I.
