A

Better do this here.

A

Horse paws well here: I, let's head up Francis will rock you Sylvia, but on wolf here, Pat Garcia and it's bloody admit that many heat is no longer on the Commission I've been in together and a lot of both AO better. You Silva Sandra educator, present Elizabeth Lopez Liz that we're and marighella Garcia. Here you have a coronation.

C

Hopefully, this on the agenda is the real king, renew the palace.

D

Sorry wait that was horrible, some idiot never knit from across the street that I need.

C

Okay, once if everybody's reviewed it I'll, let you know okay, there's so.

E

E

F

That motion I'm.

A

Sorry I see that it says the meeting time was Tuesday November 13. It was Monday the night. You know no.

B

It was a Tuesday night, okay, the.

C

Agenda was roll.

C

B

C

C

There's no one here for public comment.

C

Next time, a discussion of possible actually regarding the selection process for officer vacancies and any matters incident there to be on the unfortunately resigning she had some personal issues she have to address and we're very happy to have her, but she's not going to be able to be with us anymore. So we accepted her letter of resignation.

C

The agenda allows for of age, isn't the final so long for the officers to meet and appoint someone and when we met we had talked to miss pyth about stepping up to be vice president and have an opening for secretary. So we had talked about asking miss for Barsky if she was available for that. But if anybody else is interested.

F

If they just allow it to be that way, I.

G

Was opposed to but could dress yes, it would be recommendation from the officer. So I don't know if you wanted to do that. Step first fill the vacancy and that which will create another vacancy. So you want to vote on that for the vice chair position and then I guess take nominations from the floor for the.

H

F

G

That's a recommendation, in other words, sister section.

I

7 of the bylaws, with.

G

Resignation, resignation of an elected officer officer position must be in writing present at a regular meeting prior to the vacancy of the office when possible. In this case, it wasn't possible.

G

Replacement of the officer will be left to the discretion of the remaining officers with confirmation of the commission, so they basically choose someone and then the Commission votes on it did they agree. Then it moves forward. If not, then it's up to another recommendation from them.

F

G

This position, it doesn't say that it only says that the officer recommend someone not.

F

Open to the floor, the officers recommended.

C

If it doesn't pass, then we could open it up in.

E

Other words a secretary, it would be like if there's anybody that would like to be secretary.

D

Doing that camellias miss.

C

Frances right now.

D

I'd be proved them that, oh yes, but with one.

I

C

Voice so the officers are recommending units the way out as the Vice prison do.

B

We initiate a second to accept that nomination. You know seven nominations for each book.

J

C

All in favor, okay hear me count or any opposed I.

F

Would like to just say this because I understand I would oppose I mean I. Do have somebody that I want to nominate, but.

C

Motion carries yes, we had enough votes so much okay, so more parents.

F

And then so the next item.

C

That is open for secretary, so.

D

The committee nominated.

C

We're gonna we nominated in the source key. Are you accept you, okay, so there's a motion to accept this kovarsky as secretary I'll settle this independent all in favor aye, any opposed motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you and I. Think for the meeting is with keep prepared to take the minutes to do.

I

That I'm gonna start.

C

That next time, thank you, okay. The next item on the agenda is discussion of possible action regarding the moreno commission for women, daniel action plan and memories incidents they're cute, so mr. Balderas had recommended if anybody had any items that they wanted to bring or put on the action items for us that we approached him. If we felt we may need to go through legal, so did anybody? Did you receive.

I

Anyone should we swim. Alright,.

C

K

K

Was just this was just something that came out the custom of the way that we have it set up our we are there women every two years, that's going to stay well,.

C

We'll discuss that what.

K

Is this is no scientist the officers in particular cherishes more so 21 year, so that person will not? If we go to you.

E

May about every.

K

Other year, then, that person will never get a chance to do that and.

I

K

Know we I just was concerned with that I didn't know even other committees set up by the other.

G

Company recognizes anybody, no.

K

No I just meant did their terms of action, which is what the transit so one year, where you're here truck.

E

G

Not sure I think some of them are longer than.

I

One year, it just depends planning.

G

I

But I want to say that some committees are longer than one year. It.

G

Just depends who the 0.70.

I

G

The bylaws of themselves I mean.

I

Can be a recommendation.

G

Of this commission to change it to be two years for the president or keep it at one and then in the action plan you recognize a person every every year or women every year is the Hall of Fame with the whole thing. It just depends what you all want to do and then would present it to counsel, let them build on it. Oh.

K

I was just I'm just wondering about that, because we.

E

Were of many years back, it used to be over here and then that says they kind of like the other budget uh-huh because of the budget. Then they started doing idiot two years. We have.

G

To use it spend every every.

E

Year and then there was a big gap that.

G

E

And do anything and then they started again and they.

G

Spend that every year no it.

D

Was it was actually what it was was a Hall of Fame and that it was our 20th and.

B

It was a holiday and then we were off. We.

D

Couldn't have been doing that we had enough I see that way. It seemed like we had, but.

I

The only reason why we did.

D

It two years in a row because.

L

Were three years ago it.

I

D

It was a 20th anniversary and we did a 20th anniversary, not a Hall of Fame, but we recognized all the Hall of Famers years.

G

Of the community was.

E

G

16 2016, it.

E

G

2016 correct yeah.

D

Then it was 16 and in that.

C

Spirit to 17, so it's been it's.

G

Been almost three.

K

G

Up that's up to me. We don't.

C

Want to I mean we have suggested that we do a Hall of Fame. This year we went over the application, which requirements, so there were two recommendations on the requirements, but we can discuss it when we get there to the Hall of Fame application, but I will mention it pretty. What is that? Anyone there is running for office or assembly with nothing? Yes, consider.

L

C

Number to anyone that holds a public office in the state does not work for the county. Elected official cannot even an academy.

B

They need elected official, so any elected official or.

A

B

City County I would soon.

D

Be you're talking about like for trustees, their elected officials, states.

H

And they're all yeah.

B

Their elected officials I agree well, we'll talk.

C

D

Minute yeah, so those are.

C

Just some of the things that have been brought up and I think they're very good points, so well we'll discuss that when we get to that I am so. As far as the action plan. I know that the.

G

Next council meeting I want to say I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's gonna be January the 22nd from what I understand. So we have time to present a council the action plan. So we still have time to accept, recommend Dan is bringing them through the illegal Department, make sure everything's, okay and then present that to them. And then we should have another meeting as a group in January.

E

G

So is that happen so.

E

B

Week before city is.

F

That good, let's go, have that other thing Joe or what she.

G

F

That for us to get us.

G

F

G

One you want to do a lot.

F

Of things we right here right do we have to put that in the recommendation so that the.

G

City County.

F

G

Have to also recommend the qualifications and how people are going to be selected. What.

L

I had suggested is a lack of time.

G

Was we can still move forward receive applications? There has to be a review process from if you're gonna do subcommittee. So.

I

After review, everything January.

G

Comes around we give the qualifications to Casa; they agree with them. Continue if they say. Ok, we don't agree with this part of it. Ok, then you look at the applications. Somebody doesn't qualify at that point, they're not considered. You still haven't selected anyone. You know what I'm saying. So it's still time to be able to be tight, but I think you can be done. You build an agreement.

H

G

Know the problem was that there were no I, don't think they've been approved by council and so legal was saying. Council needs to approve everything even.

D

When you, when you say, that's, ok, my concern, it's December and this event has to be March.

F

G

F

G

Where it is gonna have to happen at the January me moving.

C

On on the action plan,.

E

Excuse me mr. Disney mentioned that it would be January 20. That's.

G

What I heard today no exam.

I

Be an intrusive.

B

E

L

Not only are they started, it.

E

Let's get 22 Monday is granny.

A

G

Martin Luther King Day, you know I, want to say it'll, be the 26. Whatever.

I

Today, why the deformability first.

H

C

Okay, so are there, does anybody have any action items they would like to bring up.

F

That doesn't them take money that we don't have to right, because, even though Joey, if I may add ready we're going to be representing this little Commission for women, we still have to get up to vote for the action plan. Even we're not going to be asking for money for anything. Yes,.

G

Because we all represent the city and city council and so what it really does.

F

So anything we do, we have to, we all represent the city or.

J

F

Liability involved anywhere we go with something happened, so I've got five seven. That's.

G

What we, this ability also needs to be the reason why.

F

They won't allow a lot of these items. I mean I'm just asking everything there.

C

Well, I think they're just wanting to make sure that it's very but is covered and I, don't know so much of my ability. But that is what we should be doing it we're on the right track. I think.

H

It's tender procedure, it's just tender procedure not necessarily make.

I

Sure I know right, but.

H

Everything involves standard procedure for any organization within the city and.

G

That's what we want to make sure that we get the any recommendations for anything, even if it do meets money, funding or whatever, but they have to approve it in legal has to sign off on it. First, it's presented to council that any of four items that you all have I'd like for you all an email them to me. So so we can present the legal make sure there's no issues for.

E

Example, we've done the women's bill and I want to say that it's not being March and March before used to be the first week of May and I mean it's in a voluntary basis.

D

Women's building, it's.

E

Nationwide women's health issues to attend the part, and this I like to make a motion to they see the Commission will bring to accept the recommendation of having the Commission or anybody. That's willing to volunteer.

K

E

Time under the Commission name to participate on the nation, what women's bill which will take place in March? That's.

G

A motion: is there a second I second.

C

Okay motion and second, all in favor all.

I

C

You hope okay motion carries and I would like to appoint Dan ability. Dependents. A chair for that.

E

E

The only thing I'm coming up US president for me have enough in humanity. Oh yes, so maybe somebody else would like to be bison because oh I'm, over there over the president I'm pushing it to believe that I'm first class right now and I'm. That's funny! No! The.

C

I

Is a there's, a trainee for.

E

Two hours up long sentence, whoever has not the opportunity to go. It's pretty amazing, I'm sure that the law is that justice and then it's something that you just cannot explain. It is a phenomenal way of strategy from people that are really already neat and it's worked it off from the foundation all the way to their education on Turkey and for many times, and it's a wonderful feature and it's just making a difference and somebody else's.

F

Excuse me, but when is the deadline to submit anything to January 22nd, okay.

G

L

I

The action planet so y'all want to.

G

Nominate that make a motion to do that and then vote on it and we'll include it.

H

C

Motion carries so we have two items for now: oh I know Esther. You had some good ideas on that cheap.

C

If you want to consider some of those you're welcome to talk to mr. Vincent.

K

C

And what would be needed is if there's any money required. Okay, I know they're, suggesting that we not have a budget for, but if there is something that you all feel and you don't be a minimal cost, maybe we want you to put out flyers or something like that. Oh put a dollar to it and just describe the event, the activity and what the purpose is and what specifically it is, and that way we can present it forever.

G

Ahead of time we leave on there for the meeting would just come in. If you it will include every Doulton he's done.

C

Okay, so they're no further items, question and.

B

You know whether it's like an.

M

Action plan for the Sony or an agenda or CAD ago, the animation would coordinate with them and help them in anything so that we collect.

G

Immunity events and things of that nature, yeah.

M

G

Community development there's a lot of different type of programming from different areas, so, while it can be for the homeless for the.

I

Low-Income but there's no specific plans of.

G

Different or groups within the city, different departments.

M

Is there like a calendar for the year that maybe we could look at we'd.

G

Have a community calendars are on our website and.

I

If you all want to browse through it,.

G

And see maybe there's something.

A

Is this button.

E

Right here looks like a.

F

A

F

A

It will show a lot of that recently, a common ones, cleanups.

G

And disparate so meters, but I.

J

I

Wanted to do what they do in San Antonio with.

J

The Susan G Komen for the breast cancer, where is that they have a walk and they do it downtown and since they're always trying to revive our downtown, why couldn't we walk? ha But this is a full memory to walk in the downtown.

H

Area Susan komen is controversial, but.

J

Is it necessary Phoenix.

H

On its leg, against.

F

Your awareness, but.

J

Would you like a walk and if.

L

J

Want to buy that downtown. What better way and how many people walk and like to.

L

Look at the build.

J

Is right where.

C

It is really wrong with a peak to do when they do it at LCCC.

H

The whole month, it's gonna, be at both got to see them tears, announcer wait. So what happened? Lcc downtown president.

I

H

At that, and so so we have two locations: the.

E

Same day or different days,.

J

City every time Antonio does it and, like I, said since I keep wanting to revive downtown a lot of people. Even though you live here, you don't really come downtown, but if you're doing a walk, they can see like the Philippines. So.

L

I

J

That's going on the out, but it's you know you're just walking by maybe.

E

M

When you will know you know, everything requires some money. So what if we could kind of dovetail into something that's associated with the city? You know already that we would just have our presence there and to do something because other than March. What are we going to do for the other 11 months.

I

C

We have talked about doing some some outreach to young women of our age and we could use the rec centers for that. Oh, we can use. You know, library.

I

C

Talked about race, collecting, I.

G

Know that uh that they have like a mentor like a business mentor for high schools, I want to say that they'd do something like that. What's.

I

G

K

G

That's in general right, it's a specific to men or women. I think.

I

They need to both fall for this. You you have to do.

G

Something professional women gathered around this table. You can do something I think in with different high schools.

F

Their wages, the workplace harassment- some of that is very important that maybe we can have something someplace a little bit.

G

Of business personnel.

F

M

Their rights are for the way happen.

C

The seminar that you all did a couple of years ago, I think yester. You were about with that right. There.

I

Tell me you what.

H

What is that is a conference? uh Well, actually it was a very convenience to us because it didn't cost us anything. I got the council members to sponsor their t-shirts and they all came to. There was no council member that relegated that, but actually Timmy year we met with Timmy you and they requested an amount of monies.

H

If you would for us to contribute to the big conference- and it was really a coordination with young women was commissioned and Loretta Commission for women, and we fed up to let me to have any money, so they paid for all the meal. We were in charge of the program and program focused on women's issues. At that time we had fantastic speakers. We've got speakers in information.

E

Show I think we.

H

Have shown at the meal was fantastic thanks, Jamie, you and, and it was variable very well-received. Everybody went all the girls, all the counselors, happy I think we exceeded the numbers we get to him mention and then attended. The coordinated with all the school counselors got their list, and that was it's a one-day thing, but it worked very well. This just press near they called and we have to tell them. No, because I think we did away with it. I'm not sure.

J

That's always gonna about to ask you: how much would it cost that they want the.

L

J

Council asked it if this is word advisory board. You have like.

H

That I totally understand that no um just to everybody I think everybody else is familiar with it, but it it cost us it's seeing what we did is I reached out to the council members for the t-shirts, because that's one of the things that the girls attendees look forward to receiving their share t-shirt.

J

Underneath, like how much were the shirts cost I.

H

Don't remember but I think the bill was divided by the council members and wanted to participate and.

I

H

There were four of them, um don't remember, but it was covered. Oh I didn't tell Burt right, yeah I would.

L

Footed the bill.

H

Actually, Albert decided that he didn't give me one averse. He had enough money in his funny because.

B

Anyone aware he.

H

Wants to wait, he said. Let me let me do.

L

This yeah well yeah. It is it already.

H

L

H

Spoke to other council members and the other council members and he I stand to be corrected. He spoke with other council members and four council members Dipper the.

G

Set but that's.

J

A good we are on the action plan, they're.

G

Gonna prove it and if they know that there's going to be a little bit of money involved and legal might say well, we don't recommend it. We do, but at the end of the day, it's up to Council right.

I

J

I

Say no I think it's a well.

G

Worth project to do.

H

For their budget.

C

Yeah, we could probably do it going through the rec centers or maybe.

G

Delivering as a multi-purpose room.

J

L

G

Project I think.

H

Coordinating with the schools, it's going to be crucial to do it as soon as possible for next year, because they have to budget the bus, the buses very.

L

H

They definitely need the meal to be thrown in there. The girls are getting up school all day, obviously want to do it in a different format. Well, you might just want to do an afternoon or.

C

If you go to the school, so they sometimes have guest speakers.

C

G

I was planning to go to, but if you can put everybody wanting facility and every other speakers are coming, that everybody's good cuz you're gonna have some speaker, that's real good, that's gonna be able to go. One school won't be able to go to the other. What we're gonna do them on different days, and so you can get everybody in one room. Yeah.

E

G

Or five speakers, unless.

E

They do it on a Saturday and they're on their own, because I know that the buses are very expensive and a lot of times. That's why there's very limited filters, I think.

C

You can reach more people actually going to the schools because say you have the ten new 200. What was the graduating class of United thousand one thousand so say how.

B

About 600 girls, they.

H

Are such young ladies, were picked by counselors? There were picked by the counselors I think we.

G

C

We did at one time window at ten with the rhythm counts, tiny we went and we spoke to the girls about breast cancer. I was went to the school, and so they bought it. The girls and we stood up there and we spoke to them and that's a good way to get more.

E

People and you, instead of just getting ten seniors or losers, you're doing the student body of.

E

C

E

I'm saying not.

C

For the cancer comma, if we want to continue with this theme and go and talk to women about you,.

E

Know maybe somebody in the family is, you know somebody in banking and insurance and I think if you all prove it and.

G

We can create a subcommittee to make recommendations back to the Commission.

J

And come back with different options.

G

Of doing it by high schools or doing it at the arena and say domes which we don't have our key team anymore. So it's.

E

G

In a week, something.

E

G

I

G

I'm thinking about.

J

G

Then we do it with several months in advance and you sip the whole thing up and if it's the Saturday even I, think the school districts will pray the bus at the school wherever wants to go in Alexander registered, show up. There will take you from there over there. You can you get over there for whatever reason but I think if it's a like an arena on a Saturday morning, I think people.

I

Will go on their own I.

G

I

You can get some good speakers.

G

Tremendous but.

C

J

Have a Leadership Conference be part of our agenda.

G

Ladies, are young young men, sir.

J

Young women, sorry a young.

I

J

Leadership Conference and which one did y'all, have it.

G

I

A good review, maybe.

C

We'll do it looks all when they get back yes, because right now,.

J

October well.

I

That's another action.

M

Plan but that's another year.

B

Right now, I think we did it. I was.

I

E

Be how Soviet they were fiscally.

F

Yeah dinner cossacks. So when.

C

Did this process starts in dover.

D

1St to September their game, I guess.

F

It has to be only breast cancer right.

D

Senator that ground, you.

L

Know things be careful, it allowed. The action plan runs rates of.

D

Children, 1st through September 30th, okay, got it.

F

J

September I didn't like the last week of September.

C

Yeah they're just.

I

C

E

C

E

J

It and it would be good for the juniors, the junior girls, because that's when you start applying for colleges towards.

I

J

End of year, doing in here for me in this neighborhood.

L

So it would be.

I

Good for the seniors.

J

That they're starting their senior years I get a little bit of idea like inspiration.

E

Inspiration for.

G

J

G

To be doing it in the morning, because I think September, you can have football game Saturday night so in the afternoon, so people.

I

May do something like in the morning be.

G

A half a day think so.

C

Was there a second.

C

D

C

All in favor aye any opposed motion carries.

I

D

Be the chair for this to start working on from the getting info and looking a day to know.

H

C

L

To take the lead anybody, volunteering.

C

To be the chair, any of it, okay,.

J

I'm pretty sure things we have many months about Matt Santos, City, Council involved.

J

G

C

I

C

I

C

M

Some things also that we're thinking of our previous action plans that we were doing that were not costing money like either Christmas caroling or my last, you know with donated by well. Do those have to go through them? Yeah everything.

I

Is go through it, but I.

J

Know that some legal.

G

Have an issue with that, but I don't know something because you're gonna get sponsors. Somebody has to pay something like the further submit that you're just approved I mean the use of the the arena is not free and so council would have to sponsor it. So there is money to certain extent. That's involved, I, don't think they want this organization going in soliciting for sponsorships on behalf of and.

E

The organization it would have to be.

G

From the city asking.

E

G

To their nature, like the Tamil Anna, well, what what will you all discuss, or is it just or.

M

I

G

They want to see more of how does that impact women in the community by giving them at the month.

I

Little ones see my dad, they want to see the.

G

Impact was gonna.

K

Have on females we took him, socks and blankets are awesome. Well,.

G

But I'm not saying this I mean.

K

Let us help the individual.

G

I

But how does that advance their whatever issues? You don't want obtain, that's what they want to see as an action.

J

Plan about something like it's called Dress for Success, and it's a time when people donate like.

G

Four jobs, turning you know, sometimes they won't have a.

I

L

I

G

The hairstyles for business presentation or you know.

G

H

For Success have partnered with the county and they would give us a referral and and what happened? What happens? Is it's a lot easier said than done, because you need a place to keep the dresses and then you need someone to be there.

H

When someone is going to go and get fitted, they have to have a document, they get three outfits or whatever the agreement is, so it's even hard to have a place to have those dresses, and so maybe you want to just beat the middle person and the organization and we feed it to an existing organization. You.

G

Just what you just said just take something: what can we have community leaders when you're going to do an interview? That's the most serious thing! Cuz, you don't know how to present yourself. That can give you pointers on answering questions.

L

C

Know how to do your resumes.

M

G

Else is involved, another dressing.

M

G

Dressing appropriately dressed I gave you the dress, but tell you. This is how you're supposed to look.

E

More professional, they never have that kind of business that they kept seminar, or something like that. Besides.

G

The other ones more for the youth, this one can be more finding.

H

G

J

That would be an advancement to critical.

G

I

But if you can do it, I think that also helps.

G

Women, especially.

A

G

Plan for jobs, and yet you know.

A

Every question that.

F

H

All other question.

G

That very Chen.

H

I went to ask for as well.

G

I think that would be a tremendous.

A

Tactful way to deflect an illegal question.

G

I'm sure we can again, this is presented and you can put in part.

J

Of the presentation, the.

G

Needs from the Commission for the each particular project.

J

G

It could be the become subcommittee. We're gonna need someone from HR the opposite address these issues, things.

J

G

But I think it's something that's worthwhile there. You all can do.

L

G

J

H

G

Want to focus on the interviews or just business in general, including it.

C

J

Would like to motion for us to have on our action plan the business exit workshops at the city, library.

C

What life can be like it in scuse me? What.

J

Month, would you like just do we need to put it on the month for my feet, yeah actually.

G

I should do something else.

A

Take your action plan.

L

How would you June- oh thank you who.

C

D

Yes, after you're done with that you kind of it well, you got two months to work on the one for September.

C

F

I know another issue that maybe we could put on there if we can I know that our mission statement does say to promote political women in politics or political movement or whatever it's I, don't know how it reads: how do you all suggest I was thinking, maybe in getting a women to get us an award registration, drive and I'm partisan one to go and be somewhere and talk about the fact that they can get registered or any.

G

F

Concerning women are going to be important, if you both, you know, for the people that you know that are going to I, don't know, I would be.

M

We take advantage of PSAs in case somebody wanted to recording it with a script. That's already been, we have to buy legal. That, you would say, would be very generic and nonpartisan our.

I

Borders so.

M

J

Something like that, but also I know when the election was going on. They were missing a lot of people to volunteer and be to be able to be at the voting sites and not think I. Think if you watch you knew because I'm have you assumed I just go and vote, but you don't know how the background that goes into it of them. Having someone that has to be there monitoring the looking.

L

And right here judge and some people get space to.

J

Do election judge, but a lot of people don't know that even exists and I remember this year that they were like freaking out that they didn't have enough judges because, like I said, a lot of people just assumed I just show up to vote and people just happen to be there miraculously. But it doesn't work like that. People, I.

G

Think that if that's a good issue, I think that if your board and support that, then the subcommittee can put an agenda to get on what you don't want.

I

To see and bring you.

E

Involved into that.

I

C

Need to check for this list, the ones I was working on.

J

Yes, but as you might.

I

J

L

Put no justice, yes,.

C

F

A motion to promote the voter registration drive with women and the importance of voting so.

C

F

Right, you know we can talk about the ballot within that a lot of people do not understand the ballot either. I think that if we can maybe and.

H

I

F

I mean have you shown.

I

That are they're interested.

F

In as to the different political parties, I mean this is some partisan and I think people herbs would be ready to listen to us. You know I, don't.

C

Know what talking about parties I think we can know for sure I found a cat well.

F

I'm not saying to vote for a certain person we're just saying there that there is people do not understand about it. Well, I think, worse,.

D

F

Sorry that I were to agree with.

D

That, in the sense, is like, especially like the young women that they're just graduating they're coming in. They don't know what a Republican a Democrat or no country memory.

G

Our private any no other stone with the blue.

D

You know they don't I mean I just recently like a couple of years ago, but when I first started this immediate event, my mom's okay, you're gonna start voting and you're you're a Democrat okay until I started. You know anymore. The politics which now I have 20.

K

F

Dunno, a chair that would say not push.

D

One or the other but explain the different.

L

K

At the board, 19 I don't concern this next year will be. Will there be the elections? No.

K

We may not get the interest because there's nothing.

G

G

Presentation at each high school, the.

I

Girls and like.

G

You said the seniors over there and rated seniors and juniors or I guess the senior, because they're the ones are going to be 18 18 and.

L

It donate them of the reason why they should.

G

Vote how this affects.

L

F

C

G

Y'all can come up.

C

D

And we're going yeah, you sent it.

L

To the council, they'll see this.

D

A

Yeah, nothing will take this out. You know about when you might like to put that on.

M

What do we have right now.

F

L

Martian matter.

F

Right now, because we're not having the elections with another baby time, when we, when we we have space, because we have marked our ad all taken care of.

D

By private seller he actually started February, don't forget ever you have to run. Now is your Hall of Famers, so you have the media reception in February and then.

D

K

Nothing interesting.

I

L

E

Mix eerie remains.

D

Okay, April mace, okay, not to have anything because whatever we need, we could do the planning for the business and snake workshop. That's okay! You can use it for maybe you want.

I

I

D

It in the summer, or always.

F

J

Honor in our earth, but who's.

H

Your who's, your target.

J

Women, voter registration drives and I must have a.

H

Promoter awareness or motor workshop I think.

G

It's more of a voting.

H

G

Awareness yeah.

I

G

You include voter.

J

Registration and one of.

G

D

A

Awareness workshop there yeah.

F

The women started voting, which is Cynthia afternoon, how they, you know the right to vote.

F

C

So we have the.

J

Agenda a chair, the.

C

Chair the chair is so.

E

It's gonna, be you second.

C

If we don't have any more actions, that doesn't mean it's not going on the agenda. We have also January 14th that if someone thinks of something else that they want to bring, we can't bring it up. There will.

I

C

Than all of these bring your details, that's very nice to each item that you've been assigned to so that mister, my desk on presenting and if you have it before you're, welcome to send it to you. So you can go to.

G

The more information I get the better the legal. This is what.

M

There's an ideas behind it. Can you please go over again by month, the all the ones that we have already tented totally.

D

Because we did not I know, we said Hall of Fame in March I wouldn't say we didn't vote on the media perception which I know it's known, but I guess.

G

Part of the Hall of Fame, you.

D

Recognize some in February and then I mean you and I know it's an in February and you.

D

J

How she has requested for the uneo action fun, we did it as in March, it's going to be the women built. A damn. Hall of Fame would be in March the Young Women's Leadership Conference in September, the business etiquette workshop by the city of Library in June and the women's voter awareness workshop in the month of April. That's what we have so far.

J

E

Mister, let me see that May. They had mentioned that the recognitions of the Hall of Fame correct me if I'm wrong. They had mentioned that you I wanted to just do it at the City Council meeting or you.

C

Know anymore back in tune that's so we can continue in the agenda. We're done with this agenda again. If anybody has any action items that what they would like to break up either send it to mr. Valdez or bring them to the next meeting, which is January 14th so on to the next agenda, I, which is discussed and personal action to the qualifications for potential Hall of Fame candidates and any matters so go ahead. Vina, okay,.

E

But my question was that they have mentioned that. That was a possibility.

C

The possibility that.

G

Was in Korea simple as just doing a presentation for the people that are there.

E

To be honor, you know.

G

To be honored at the council chambers, I mean if we.

I

G

This continued with the event: okay,.

I

Well, we do it either at.

G

The max or at the library, so let's.

E

Go read: that was my question because that if the case is going to be that, isn't me at the City Council, then why even have a media reception but.

A

E

It's going to be like the max at the library and we do need to put up their dad gender or the item on February 2 to recognize or announce.

C

D

Yes, yeah I, don't think.

C

It has to go as a separate item for City Council.

C

D

Hug we were announcing them and then all that stuff. So that's why I feel or maybe I would like to both that we do put it on the actual plan.

I

Just because I'm favorite.

G

Depending does it have to prove where, were you all right.

D

C

I

And then what is it? Gonna prove.

D

A city council, we recognize a minute immediate, but.

K

What would you want to happen? What would make man? Yes, why do we have them immediately, so we can well.

D

K

Because now our our reception with our tits, we don't charge we're not asking for people to sign up to attend. We honor them, and we do that if we were to do it at the City Council meeting and actually percent. These are the women that will be on her.

C

On our press release was the press release at.

B

K

Time because when we have the press conference, we have there's money involved, there'll.

L

K

A lot because I.

L

K

And and and all of that and and unfortunately, we would get a couple of of the councilmen and and the bear was present also, but really it was really just in-house. More than anything.

K

B

Say that the media is already there so.

L

You're always hard.

G

B

Get the media today.

G

Right here is where the process is gonna, be y'all, take applications. You just select individuals presented to council. I say these are the individuals that are being that we recommend you all approve. You couldn't really say. No at that point. What's the agree, those are the official inductees. Then you can have others on your own. We can hold the press conference.

I

We have the mayor present some.

G

Council members and say.

I

These are the individual.

J

G

C

Have to do a press president.

J

Spread of syphilis.

F

Before we do anything in a percent applications and all that don't we have, you have to first send it to legal to approve what we're putting on this action plan. They're gonna have to approve it first legal and then it goes from be proof, because why do we take application, they're going to say.

F

Give us already permission to happen.

G

You still have to have it. We have to have their permission to hold the event. This more.

L

I

They could say no I mean so your content, councilman.

G

I

Iii want to say that they're gonna see that something like conditionally.

G

Over set, and so taking that into consideration, you're going to start accepting applications you're going to talk about the qualifications in a little bit of the application itself in the essence of time, I would still take the applications as soon as possible start doing that that way in case they change one of the qualifications. You can always.

I

Put that aside and that.

G

Person that going to be considered.

L

G

Who the person you guys are gonna recommend to the council to approve, as the.

L

Inductee until.

C

G

C

I think does it isn't it public then.

G

C

G

What's, what's you once you put that list up to Kelso they're, going to consider it in at that point, yeah everyone's gonna know.

C

H

C

H

Say no to these trees they're going to be doing.

F

You are saying that.

J

No he's saying that excuse.

F

Me before they take a nap, let's say: I'm gonna have somebody that they want to submit an application and they spit it out, and everything and.

G

F

They don't approve it here and we have to tell them simply norms at the Ned law. No.

I

D

It's the rigor process of filling out an application. They have a deadline. You have to require the philario season that sorry we get the packages. The committee could just write notice, there's always been a committee, their community reviews them and it says: well, you know what do by looking at the background. This person is going for your ego and there's nothing legal office personally.

D

Poor people for this dissonance so.

I

The money will come here.

D

Second 80s: we chose these four people there.

L

Are more people are going to.

D

The council working inaudible.

L

K

The Commission for women have review.

D

All an application- and we feel that these application or applicants are good in this areas for.

G

Them to receive a.

C

D

C

But that's not a question. Oh there are.

D

What it is why.

F

We actually having.

C

A Hall of Fame, oh yes, I.

F

D

F

Scuse me to do it out.

D

Yes, because we decided on the absent families that qualify no.

F

We accepted that we're gonna have the action plan.

I

F

Put in there, they call the thing no.

I

Are they gonna.

F

Accept the action plan.

L

F

Even do anything, let's first accept the action plan and they say go ahead was not a thing today we go ahead with it. Well.

G

We won't have time I, don't think yeah, but that's not the.

F

Point the point is that what I'm saying is this my just me that I'm not making this way- and these are my thoughts first approvers- you know if the if the City Council it's illegal, doesn't approve us first of all, if legal steps lightly, now it's a calico, then do you take it to City Council again.

G

What you're saying this was gonna be done the following year since there's no time to waste from here to March. This is the process that's going on. Oh yes, you could say at the end of the day. Now we want to pull the whole thing. There's nothing is gonna. Do there's not gonna be a whole thing. That's.

F

G

F

G

F

Application afternoon I would.

C

I say: let's put the application out if they say no, which I doubt that they will, if they say no, then all those applicants.

G

K

F

D

F

H

And all fairness, I was going to make us look extremely unprofessional and we really don't have it together. I really I think we can pull it off. I mean we've pulled off other things, but movies and that's peds or applications and we'll go for a boat, I guess, but moving and asking for applications when.

J

H

Not be an event and say I'm, sorry, but whatever way to gonna sugarcoat, it it'd leave her next year. I just don't think. That's right as well. I think I.

C

Do want to make the point.

I

C

Already voted on it and we have prickly pest it that.

I

C

Thing we did at the.

L

C

The meeting we.

L

Voted this year.

E

Excuse me, being the parliamentarian: I would like to have every person razor have and be appointed by the chair.

C

How I can recognize recognized by the chair to.

E

Be able to speak because I mean the room is kind of long and whatever miss Allison says might be saying that somebody else over here talking and we cannot hear the conversation as corrected and that way we have to respect each other and we're able to understand what it's going. What's actually happening. So I mean the okay, okay,.

J

D

Re-Inject right, you're correct. We are voting for the Hall of Fame and we want a presence to counsel. That is not that the discussion took turn us to when to open up applications and when the deadline should be that's. What's being asked of.

K

L

K

D

Go forward and ask for the Hall of Fame: yes, we totally want that. It's the deadline for the application. When should we start taking if we're not going to meet, if the council's not going to meet your journey, and we have to wait till then why are we going to ask for applications now? We should wait until they decide whether or not there will be a Hall of Fame or not, and there's.

I

There's a special called meeting and.

D

We can get on that agenda.

C

Mister are excited we're.

G

Gonna have the canvas II either 21st or the 26th of this month, so I can try and ask to see. We can place an item just on the Hall of Fame to see the.

I

D

I

G

It and they will know by the 26.

G

Hopefully we can get it on the agenda tonight.

D

G

The only one that we'll talk about, but it should be a quick meeting. So if not then it'll be until January. The 22nd well.

C

For expediency, state.

G

E

Try to get oh yeah.

C

M

I'm just trying to follow the timeframe assuming worst case scenario, it doesn't get approved until January 14th.

M

It's a twenty second, we have keeping in mind the last time. It was very stressful for a lot of the applicants for the ladies that were rushing to get in in triplicate. You know all of their stuff that they needed to their files that they needed to send over to the office, and it was just before Christmas and we had extended the deadline. We put it out there and we didn't have, but like five I forgot how many people had applied, and so we we extended it another month.

M

I think it was, and it was just before Christmas that it was I. Remember it was like the 22nd and people were out of town and we were calling people and did you get it? You know it was very hectic in there. It was like we need a little more time because we gave them just such a short period for them to like okay, The Advocate.

M

Here's, the application, hurry up and turn it in you've got two weeks to turn in everything and get it reviewed and have the committee look at it and and start ruling out those people that that did not qualify its we're talking to the end of January we're coming February with all of their George Washington celebration stuff that goes on March. When.

G

C

L

C

Of the of the application at all.

G

If it's gonna be the 22nd, the council meeting, then you'll have from the 22nd and then they meet on the floor. They meet on the 18th.

G

So if it's approved at the 22nd I say we can get it in December approval, so it would be the 22nd. Then you have from the 23rd through really they would have. It depends on when you're to prevent both at the end. It would be a what you don't look at your calendar and March. Well,.

E

When you just have eternity.

G

I

Latest that they.

G

Could have proved it so they have to approve the recommendations also, so we have a meeting on the 4th of March and the 18th of March, so you probably want to approve on the 4th correct.

C

G

Plan and prepare the facts or whatever y'all gonna, give up myself with them.

E

G

Just saying they're doing movie from the january/february.

I

C

One month is that.

G

A lot of time to accept applications.

C

H

G

A little bit also one that'll be all on the 22nd of January, the application part of it, but you're gonna hold it I. Don't think it's that big of an issue at that point, I think y'all want to vote right now and discuss.

I

G

The applications concerned, but do y'all, have enough.

L

Time in it's only fair, all of February.

K

G

Week of January to accept applications.

K

And it goes into the the amount of applicants and advocates it and the promotion.

H

Promotion I think what Dolores was focusing on was not necessarily our part, but the applicants part because some of them do a tremendous job of doing their resume and they go because it's very detailed to specific, as to on your community service, every single recognition. We want a newspaper clipping money.

M

Nursing binders and.

C

By I do want to say something: if I mean um we went over the application as the officers and we don't need binders and binders it actually on some of those it's asking for one page, but.

I

L

I

A little overboard.

C

On some of the stuff, which is great I, think there are people that can fill. You know the whole library of stuff that they've done well.

G

And obviously, security government.

I

G

You say that they have to process information. Is that just to be considered.

H

G

Well, that's what the.

H

Application is.

G

F

H

The application as asking for that and it did so when you guys are met- you didn't see them because.

C

I mean it's exist. What significant accomplishments make this candidate one of the world's most outstanding women, maximum maximum 1/2 typewritten page? That's all an excellent, in addition, present rate the documentation that supports.

H

Accomplishment, correct you correcting you in what I was referring to was dick. Well, some of them did not even do a one-page.

E

H

One page max or whatever it was, but that was an e. It was what supported that.

E

Their their their.

H

Parents and their with one patient community services and rewards, etc. Recognitions.

I

D

That's that's what I said: it's not necessary. They did meet the requirement of one page max or one page and a half max. It's that presentation means everything to about these women. It's.

L

A hall-of-fame, it's not below.

D

It it's a Hall of Fame, so you don't want to just turn the Facebook here. I.

I

Want to consider me, and it's.

D

Just like this, is it hey? Where are your articles, worship,.

E

I

Do I know you know how.

D

Do I know that you did this instrument, your newspaper article, to country, never recommendations, you got pictures, that's where the binders become not necessarily because.

M

D

As a person that's applying for someone or so.

L

D

It to the max I'm.

L

Going to list an.

D

Accomplishment that Tiffany.

L

Did because I really.

D

Want her to beat Dolores and.

M

I

Says was it arranged and Japanese fans a fighter without it? That's.

D

The way that's a different way because you know delicious submitted, but working.

M

Their way like a 10 word, 38 have haters.

I

M

L

K

C

To us also as if they talked to us, we don't need to have you know, 10 5 years of talk.

I

To us to get your.

C

Significant contributions and put them jump, it's a half a page. You know a speech.

H

C

No I understand you're talking about support, which is paper to it. Newspaper tipene's other articles, certificates of achievement, special appointments, Awards in terms of support of any additional documentation that is appropriate, include candidates same with all attachments, but it's don't have a page and then on the other, one which says biographical, sketch minimum one-page max three pages: that's a biographical sketch, so you know I Thursday. Some people were able to bring in a lot of things, I understand that, but I don't think that's necessary on everybody. You know some people may just.

D

It is true: we've had some like I mentioned. We had some. That is just the application, no backup, nothing and that's it that person. Apart from sorry, it's.

I

Like an interview, you know, even the person was getting interviewed if you present yourself.

C

D

How the counselor these nice binders and then hey this.

C

Person targeting I look.

D

At what they did and then he said this well, how do we know they? Okay? Well, they did this good for that, but.

H

D

Have the actual proof versus just what's.

L

In right, huh unless.

D

L

D

It and you want to say, don't.

L

Submit anything then.

D

Let's remove that and.

L

H

Not what I'm gonna do there.

D

I'm not saying yeah, but anyway we can limit with a percent.

F

I think it's the exception, rather than the rule, there's a lot of them that do bring in a big like I.

I

J

What we're getting into the reason is, all we're saying is: don't disqualify somebody if they submit it a little bit, but we know who they are.

L

Another person.

J

But then you've seen their.

H

Company around the city, where it's a Hall of Fame, it is not I, know you so I know what you did. What, since, when do things go like that, you need a backup, your application, just because you are so, and so everybody is so that should be good enough. You need to affect it's a halt, I think.

C

It's on earlier that, if you use, if you submit your on your half a page max of what you've done, you need support for that. So I can't say: I want first place the certificate of recognition from so-and-so unless I have a copy of the certificate I understand and that and that that's that's fair yeah.

H

C

You're still in the.

H

Tenant because.

C

They know I'm not giving everyone what these years, when.

H

I was gonna, get you. What you're saying is whatever you put, I thought. I was a page and a half. Oh, no! No! It's one! Half big! Okay!.

C

F

H

Limiting to then, is whatever I put here, because some of them have really done a tremendous job and really deserve it. You say sorry, it's only going to be sorry because it's gonna benefit so much so who's really not done a lot and doesn't have a lot to fill in any way.

L

H

Me get to the point, but the person is going to fill in the page and I'd much more to support what they filled in. Are you saying that you don't want that to be accepted? Gazzola.

C

So I said: okay, so I said what we have here. It says maximum one half typewritten page and then to bring in all the support for these accomplishments accomplishments that they're listing on that half day. That's.

I

C

This nominee I'm not making it up I'm, not cutting anything.

G

So then, will they have enough time to do it or not much.

B

G

Themselves: brothers, information. Yes, yes,.

I

My question: if.

G

We get to have this approvement January 22nd! That's what I guess the main twist! The.

K

Application has to be approved by City Council.

G

K

We need to have also.

G

Say yes, we're gonna have the event. No.

K

G

Agree with your requirements for the applicants and then they're gonna review what I would hope, maybe March the 4th the first meeting of March. Now, where you have the time for the press conference and food whenever we're gonna, have.

K

The event at the end of March.

G

K

G

So it's gonna be all the February Plus, maybe a week of January to accept applications. Review them hold the meeting to be a special meeting for the Commission to recommend these people over there. That's once a day. That's all gonna.

I

Happen quickly.

G

In them up, if you get approval in genuine now we're gonna shoot for the end of or next week, I would.

D

Do I would try to shoot if you do a very shoot for next week, but if you do job a generate, wait till January I would actually go before council on the second meeting in February, simply in case they reject our nominees.

D

That gives us still time to reevaluate the other applicants for the watch. The person one is going to the first unit, so we.

G

Know we can't take regret it now they're going.

E

To prove honor the.

G

Last meeting I would say the last meeting.

D

Of every we have to decide and submit to council purple just.

J

Been in mind what I was saying: it's not because not that I wanted to undermine someone else, but when someone's being nominated you're not nominating yourself, so you can be a good person, but the person that nominated you might not be detail-oriented to stimulus. So that's all I was trying to say because.

I

I don't know myself, I know all my stuff I can give you by yourself.

J

But if someone else nominates me- and they might not be a detail that I am you know what I mean that was all I was trying to explain.

I

E

Also, just for you know for the record some other, ladies, who only like we have a new commission meeting. We do not we're gonna, we're never allowed to say. Oh I want to nominate such and such person, because I know that done a fantastic job, I mean as a commission. We're not allowed to do that. We.

C

Can't nominate it so.

E

So so you'll, just let me cuz I, know a year to the Commission itself, because in my happiness, I have somebody in mind. You come up with it.

D

I

E

We can start putting it. I won't be doing mr. Bevis it okay, if I wouldn't be able to.

C

L

The Commission.

G

Okay, the next.

C

Item here is a session of public to review the Hall of Fame applications. I, don't think, we've got a copy of this, but.

I

It's basically.

C

This is the application and I think everything do.

G

We, this just I, think we need a madam chair I, think we missed number eight when we discuss.

C

On this application there are two items that were brought up. That I think are very important and we mentioned them earlier. One is public officials they're running in an election or not.

D

I

F

Offenses that are running tennis, whereas.

G

Two issues.

G

Somebody's enough this would they have an advantage or someone. That's not public off this. That was kind of one of these shoes over was brought up before and so I just.

L

Want to make sure that you always rest it. You.

G

Don't feel it is so be it you feel it isn't not allowing.

G

B

Before I think that someone that holds City office should not be considered, I don't know if I would extend it to any audience, but there's an advantage to that as well, because what if they do something that discredit some ethically while they're in office, you.

C

Know what I mean that the.

F

One that was named.

L

C

F

And somebody yeah.

L

D

F

B

I agree with the first one, which was no one running currently running for office. Yet because it gives I think the false impression that we are or.

H

They'll be supporting a particular candidate.

B

And the second one they can definitely no one who it holds an office in the city or even employed by the city should be eligible for a Hall of Fame nomination. Only.

E

B

I would stop at the city yeah as opposed to County or, like you say, what does someone want, the under the writer, College Board or the LIC board, or your trustee and.

F

C

F

Just saying that I I agree in a way what you're saying about somebody that's running for public office, you know that they shouldn't, you know, be recognized, I mean, but it's hard I mean I, but anyway, I'll accept that. But somebody without raising public office.

H

F

Maybe within the.

D

City, because of your other person, that won't be much that.

F

Maybe those might should not that's what yeah, because the other public.

B

Office is how many or how many doors.

I

Anymore, they're, not something yeah.

C

B

Pretty funny because.

C

I think you mentioned employees, yes, I, don't think employees should be should be removed or okay, I think.

I

Just elected officials- okay, because.

C

There are maybe some city employees that on on their you know off time there with the nonprofit.

B

Or you know seeing and they could get dividend repeating so, as you.

M

Can in essence, in essence, no woman, that's on the City Council will ever be able to.

B

Remember their only on city council for eight years, so those eight years that they serve at City Hall.

I

No they're, not all cheering Evette.

M

That one in here you see we their nose. So ears are a young.

B

They cannot have to be into the nominee, not.

C

A and now now that it's gonna go before them to get approved if we can keep it very.

B

And I'm going to approve themselves or one of them so I, don't think.

M

That's a crime and I think that's what happened last year, we disqualified one. For that reason.

G

Any city lifted because.

B

I

D

Official and also no Commission member, while your commission member you can for this.

D

B

I

B

The Commission member, okay.

L

I

C

I'll just repeating it yes, so then you can put no one currently running for public office. You know anything Fulton office with this school I know.

B

One who wants an elected office been elected and you do want to add a male.

I

B

Of the Commission may nominate an individual or be nominated for the.

J

Family members.

D

That I mean- and we know that income later yes, but.

B

They're not in the Commish. That's three changes we made to the application process.

B

I would like to move that. We accept the three changes that we have put in the application: three stipulations for nominations that we put in the applications. The.

A

I rating, could you repeat it all? Yes,.

C

No one currently running for public office, no one who holds an elected position with the city of Laredo current.

B

C

No Commission, member or no member of your relevance, Commission or the Royal Commission for women can nominate or be nominated during their tenure.

B

I

B

So motion, if they're.

A

B

C

If you can manage.

D

C

Something announcements.

D

Other comments.

A

You could rather.

G

I

G

B

Then do you all want to talk about it? Best thing to do is to adjourn sure: okay, I move.
