A
For
those
who
are
new,
jan,
we
hope
you're
not
into
this
process
by
any
means.
Jan,
we
do
record
our
meetings
as
well.
With
that
being
said,
I'm
going
to
be
all
appropriate
and
put
our
introductory
slide.
We
are
now
going
to
begin
the
meeting
of
the
minneapolis
advisory
committee
on
aging,
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
our
chair
angelique
to
do
the
roll
call,
okay.
B
A
D
Thank
you
as
to
myself,
I
was
the
vice
chair
of
the
charter
commission
and
this
year
I
was
lucky
enough
to
find
a
great
person
from
the
hawthorne
neighborhood
to
take
over
and
she
was
nominated
and
approved
at
our
last
meeting.
I'm
up
for
renewal
this
year
and
I
am
not
positive.
I
will
be
renewing
I've
been
on
now
for
12
years
and
that's
a
good
length
of
time
so
but
we'll
see,
but
anyway
I
was
involved
with
redistricting
10
years
ago.
D
D
The
charter
turned
it
over
to
the
charter
commission,
working
with
an
advisory
group
somewhat
like
yourselves
of
nine
members
who
come
from
throughout
the
community,
most
of
whom
are
a
bit
younger
than
we
are,
which
is
interesting
but
anyway,
just
to
get
us
started.
You
probably
all
know
that
every
10
years
after
the
census
we
have
to
redistrict
the
city
of
minneapolis
this
year
is
particularly
necessary
because
we
have
had
some
huge
shifts
in
population
within
the
city.
D
The
downtown
community
just
grew
leaps
and
bounds,
and
while
really
the
different
wards
didn't
shrink
in
population
so
much
as
they
didn't
grow
as
fast.
But
that
means
in
order
to
be
fair,
everybody
gets
an
equal
chance.
We
need
to
redistrict
and
make
those
wards
and
the
park
districts
as
equal
as
possible.
Yeah.
When
I
do
my
presentation,
I
usually
use
the
word
minority
a
lot.
I
understand
that.
That's
really
not
the
a
term.
That's
used
so
much
these
days,
but
unfortunately,
it's
what's
in
the
federal
legislation.
D
So
whenever
we
refer
the
federal
voting
rights
act,
we
need
to
refer
to
minorities
and
sometimes
you'll
hear
people
talking
about
single
minority
boards
versus
multiple
minority
majority
awards.
All
that
means
is.
We
have
one
board
in
this
city,
the
fifth
which
a
majority
of
the
voters
in
that
ward,
are
going
to
be
of
a
single
racial
minority.
In
this
case
black.
We
have
three
other
wards.
Four,
six
and
nine,
where
white
voters
are
in
the
minority.
D
D
We've
been
starting,
we've
been
working
on
redistricting
since
last
year
and
we
have
to
be
finished
by
march
26th.
That's
in
statute.
It's
let's
see
it's
60
days
before
the
primary
elections
for
the
state
and
so
forth.
So,
even
though
the
city
wards
are
technically
we're
on
kind
of
we're
a
little
bit
different,
we
don't
do
primaries
so
much
when
we
do
our
city
elections.
D
That's
odd:
well,
I
am
up
in
grand
rapids
right
now,
so
hopefully
that
won't
happen
park
districts
is
that
better
park
park
districts
are
a
bit
later
and
once
again
the
school
district
has
said
they
will
follow.
Whatever
the
boundaries
are
for
the
park
districts
and
that's
fine,
I'm
going
to
put
something
in
the
chat.
If
that's
permissible,
it's
some
links
to
information
that
you
might
want
to
have.
Let's
see,
if
I
can
do
this.
D
D
That's
the
charter
commission
sitting
with
the
nine
advisory
group
members,
some
of
whom
are
much
more
active
than
others,
but
that's
the
way
it
works
in
all
councils
and
commissions.
I
think
some
of
them
a
little
weird
some
people
like
starting
from
scratch
and
drawing
these
I
don't
know
if
they
were
just
having
a
little
bit
of
fun
or
that's
what
they
really
believed
was
a
good
idea,
but
in
that
same
redistricting
software,
you
can
put
in
all
of
your
comments.
D
So
some
people
just
go
in
and
say
I
looked
at
this
map.
You've
obviously
ignored
the
east
harriet
neighborhood.
You
really
need
to
think
about
us,
so
do
something
different
and
that's
fine.
That's
a
comment
that
we'll
read
and
we'll
take
a
look
at
in
fact
somebody's
looking
at
that
right
now,
because
that's
a
real
comment
that
came
up.
D
Another
comment
that
came
up
was:
don't
split
off
the
east
part
of
downtown
from
the
third
ward,
because
that's
not
good
for
us
and
we
don't
really
want
to
be
in
the
different
ward
and
so
we're
looking
at
that
too
anyway,
just
the
last
bit
here
is
we
don't
just
draw
these
maps
in
isolation.
We
actually
have
a
bunch
of
rules.
We
need
to
follow.
Some
of
them
are
well
defined
and
others
are
sometimes
confusing.
For
instance,
population
must
be
plus
or
minus
five
percent
of
the
average
for
the
city.
D
So
for
a
ward,
the
ideal
population
is
just
over
33
000..
We
have
to
be
within
plus
or
minus
five
percent
of
that,
ideally
we're
as
close
to
it
as
possible,
but
sometimes
that's
not
possible.
The
region
must
be
contiguous.
You
can't
put
an
area
northwest
together
with
an
area
in
southeast,
that's
just
not
appropriate,
and
that
seems
pretty
logical.
D
The
length
can
be
no
more
than
twice
the
width
and
that
there
are
tools
for
actually
measuring
that,
and
that
has
come
up
because
some
of
the
proposed
maps
I
was
talking
about
are
very
odd.
Looking
and
long
skinny
like
they
take
the
whole
southern
border
of
the
city
that
will
work,
they
have
to
be
compact
circles,
great.
That
never
happens
because
we're
dealing
with
census
tracts.
So
we've
got
bits
and
pieces,
but
they
can't
be
this
odd
bizarre
shape.
They
should
be
compact
communities
of
interest.
D
Ten
years
ago
we
did
that
when
we
put
together
the
sixth
and
the
ninth
wards
sixth,
was
predominantly
somali,
but
there
was
a
significant
latino
population.
There,
nine
it
was
latino
and
that
was
reflected
in
who
they
elected.
At
that
point
in
time,
we
have
taken
the
charge
that
we
are
going
to
try
and
maintain
the
ability
for
those
groups
to
have
those
that
sort
of
electoral
power.
D
You
can't
pack
minority
groups
into
a
single
ward
that
is,
grab
everybody
and
put
it
one
ward,
because
oftentimes
then
you're
taking
away
their
possibilities
to
affect
other
elections.
Nor
can
you
crack
them
too
much,
which
is
taken.
I've
seen
this
in
some
states
where
they
take
them
and
divide
them
into
so
many
different
different
regions
or
wards
that
they
have
absolutely
no
ability
to
elect
anybody.
D
Usually
we
want
to
go
along
major
highways.
35W
big
example
94
the
river,
but
that's
not
always
possible,
because
sometimes
you
just
run
out
of
people
and
you've
got
to
go,
find
them
somewhere,
and
one
thing
that
came
up
last
a
few
meetings
ago
was
where
current
war
council
members
live
technically
you're,
not
supposed
to
consider
that
when
you
draw
maps
technically
it's
supposed
to
be
driven
by
the
all
the
population,
data
and
so
forth.
D
But
I
think
that
the
group
understands
that
it
doesn't
seem
quite
fair
if
somebody
was
just
elected
to
sort
of
redistrict
them
out
of
their
ward.
So
that's
a
consideration
that
will
be
looked
at
after
the
lines
are
drawn.
We
did
it
a
little
bit
already.
I
think
it
was
in
ward
4,
where
I
believe
council
member
vita
was
just
elected
and
she
lives
right
on
the
border.
D
D
Well,
you
can
look
at
it.
We
do
have
public
hearings.
Two
are
coming
up.
These
are
very
important.
Anybody
should
can
speak.
Everybody
should
speak
if
they
have
a
strong
feeling.
Those
are
on
what
did
I
say
the
4th
of
february,
and
I
forgot
the
other
one.
It's
later
in
february,
there
could
be
more.
Those
are
two
mandated
by
law.
We
have
to
have
four
total
we've
already
had
two,
and
then
we
are
still
map
drawing.
D
So
what
you'll
find
is
that
we're
having
another
meeting
next
week?
You
can
watch
it.
You
can't
participate,
that's
pretty
much
for
the
redistricting
group,
but
you
can
send
your
comments
in
beforehand
and
every
one
of
them
is
read
by
every
member
of
the
group.
We've
been
very
adamant
that
people
should
do
this,
let's
see,
and
in
february
it's
the
fourth
and
the
24th.
I
should
have
remembered
that,
so
those
are
the
public
hearings.
There
might
be
an
additional
one.
D
Our
goal
is
to
maybe
have
approval
by
the
first
week
of
march,
but
we'll
see
because
stuff
happens
and
then,
of
course,
they
have
to
draw
precinct
lines,
which
is
where
your
voting
places
are
and
that's
always
a
little
contentious
anyway.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
I
can
also
give
you
my
email
at
the
city.
If
something
comes
up
after
the
meeting,
I
should
probably
do
that.
But
if
there's
any
questions,
let
me
know.
D
A
Kind
of
yeah
just
thank
you
so
much
and
for
committee
members
I
can
send
all
of
this,
including
the
dates
and
the
links
and
stuff
in
an
email
and
for
flow.
I
will
print
that
off
and
get
that
to
you
as
soon
as
possible
and
we're
sure
it's
the
fourth.
At
one
point
it
was
the
ninth
for
the
first
public
hearing.
D
C
D
Yeah
we
tried
to
go.
I
think
one
of
those
might
be
at
seven
and
one
is
at
four
we've
kind
of
bounced
the
times
around,
because
people
have
told
us
that
sometimes
four
o'clock
is
not
a
good
time.
If
you
work,
I
don't
so
I'm
old,
so
I
get
to
not
work
but
for
other
people.
I
can
see
that
could
be
a
problem,
so
I
think
one
of
them
is
that
yeah
is
later
they're
all
on
the
city's
website.
D
One
of
the
links
I
sent
to
you
the
first
one,
will
show
you
how
you
can
sign
up
for
redistricting
notices
of
your
calendar
committee.
I
know,
has
notices
that
go
out
to
people
they
can
sign
up
for
them.
Ours
is
the
same
way.
It's
done
on
the
same
city
website
as
I
believe,
but
okay,
to
put
my
email
address
in
here,
but
I'm
not
typing
very
well
today.
Oh
that's
good
that'll
work.
Okay!
Does
anyone.
F
E
D
Yeah
we
had
to
redraw
because
the
ninth
ward
is
the
population
is
too
low.
Technically
so,
and
I
wish
I
had
oh
shoot,
I
should
have
been
able
to
send
you.
I
can
send
you
a
link
for
the
map
that
shows
you
the
current
map
of
what
they're
talking
about.
If
that
would
be
helpful,
it's
in
this
that
you'll
see
it's
in
this
weird
software.
It's
called
district
r
and
that's
the
software
tool
for
drawing
the
maps
you
can
take
that
map.
E
D
But
if
you
have,
if
you
have
concerns,
please
there's
the
first
links
I
sent
you
there's
a
way
to
submit
a
comment.
Please
do
that
and
it
can
be
specific.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
on
the
whole
map.
You
can
say
I
live
in
the
ninth
ward.
I
have
very
concerns
about
the
line
running
along
such
and
such
a
street.
Please
take
a
look
at
that.
Perhaps
you
want
to
and
you
might
suggest
how
you
you
would
feel
comfortable
with
it.
Changing
that's
absolutely
fine
and
a
lot
of
people
have
done
that.
D
See
yeah
yeah,
that's
absolutely
fine,
because
we've
had
every
ward.
Sometimes
people
are
unhappy
because
their
neighborhoods
have
been
split.
Sometimes
we've
had
some
con.
Well,
what
was
the
recent
one?
Oh
oh
george,
floyd
square
came
up
at
our
last
meeting
and
there
were
concerns.
It
should
only
be
in
one
ward:
that's
going
to
be
tricky
because
it's
at
a
major
major
intersection
and
one
of
our
requirements
or
guidelines
is
run
along
major
thoroughfares
to
split
the
wards.
So
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
that'll
happen.
A
D
Okay
for
the
local
for
our
city,
redistricting,
it's
technically
not
so
much
about
funds,
that's
a
huge
issue
for
the
federal
government
when
they
set
up
their
their
districts
like
that's
where
I
understand
it.
Ours
are
about
electing
the
council
members
in
the
wards
and
that's
why,
like,
for
instance,
numbers
are
so
important.
Sometimes
a
difference
of
a
few
hundred
doesn't
seem
like
a
big
deal,
but
once
you
get
the
differences
between
the
ward
size
too
far,
it
can
be
weird.
It's
like.
D
D
That
just
gives
way
too
much
power
to
a
single
person,
and
you
can
see
as
the
numbers
get
further
and
further
apart
from
an
ideal
mean,
it's
kind
of
making
someone's
boat
count
a
little
bit
less
in
a
way.
The
bigger
issue,
I
think
with
the
city,
is
you
kind
of
want
to
be
in
a
ward
or
a
park
district
where
the
people
have
some
of
common
interest
to
yours.
They
care
about
some
of
the
same
things.
D
They
want
to
influence
policy
in
a
similar
way,
so
they
want
their
council
member
of
whoever
they
elect
to
go
to
the
council
and
push
for
their
interests
and
concerns.
Now
that
the
council
has
been
the
the
model
has
changed,
we've
got
the
legislative
executive
model.
Those
council
members
won't
have
direct
authority
on
the
city
departments,
but
they
create
the
legislation,
the
ordinances
and
they
set
the
budget.
D
Those
are
huge
issues,
so
you
want
someone
who's
going
to
speak
up
for
your
interest
there,
because
that's
going
to
make
a
big
difference
park
districts
a
little
bit
weirder.
They
elect
six
specific
districts,
but
that
well
it's
like
the
school
board.
I
guess,
then
they
have
three
at
large.
So
that's
a
little
bit
different.
D
So
three
that
are
city-wide
and
it
works
a
little
differently
like
I
said:
we're
not
getting
a
whole
lot
of
interest
in
park
districts
this
year
and
I'm
not
quite
sure
I
mean
there's
so
much
going
on
in
the
park
district,
but
I
don't
know
anyway,
so
yes,
you're
right.
We
have
to
do
it
every
10
years
and
make
it
fair.
A
D
Yeah,
the
the
school
district
you
know
in
the
school
district
in
minneapolis
is
sort
of
a
special
beast,
a
little
bit
like
the
park
district,
because
you
know
the
park
district
extends
outside
minneapolis
boundaries.
We
have
some
parks
that
actually
are
in
other
cities,
parts
of
them
the
school
district,
just
sort
of
the
same
way
in
that
it's
considered
not
strictly
just
a
city
organization,
so
they
have
special
rules
and
they
get
to
set
their
own
boundaries
in
the
last.
D
Oh,
I
should
have
looked
this
up
four
or
five
cycles.
They
have
said
we
will
use
whatever
park.
District
boundaries
are
because
they
both
have
six
districts
and
three
at
large,
so
they
told
us
earlier
this
year.
I
think
a
couple
of
months
ago
they
communicated
with
the
chair
and
said
we
will
accept
the
park
district
boundaries.
D
So
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
special
on
that
and
that's
fine
works
for
us,
but
I
haven't
had
we
don't
have
to
technically
run
anything
by
them
to
get
their
approval
and
technically
we
don't
get
the
approval
of
the
park
board.
Although
there's
something
it's
in
the
charter
and
maybe
state
law
that
we
have
to
present
a
final
draft
map
to
them,
which
would
be
sometime
in
february,
but
they
just
can
comment
on
it-
they
can't
they
don't
approve
it
same
with
school
district.
Thank
you.
C
D
Park
sure
there's
six
park
districts,
each
of
them
elect
their
own
representative
to
the
park
board
and
that's
the
board
that
makes
all
the
rules
for
or
the
they
set
ordinances
and
they
allocate
funds
to
all
the
park
parks
within
the
city.
Those
districts
populations
have
changed
and
they've
changed
some
of
them
pretty
significantly.
D
Let's
see,
I
think
oh
yeah
district,
one,
which
is
kind
of
northeast
minneapolis
across
the
river.
Its
population
has
increased
by
almost
12
percent.
So
it's
it's
out
of
whack
to
the
others.
There's
a
couple
like
five
and
six
that,
relatively
speaking,
are
smaller,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
adjust
the
bounds
of
physical
boundaries
for
those
districts,
so
they
have
enough
people
in
them
because,
right
now
they
don't
and
that's
what
some
of
the
discussions
are
about
the.
So,
if
you
look
at
the
now,
I
should
have
mentioned
one
of
our
rules.
D
D
D
C
D
No
they're
different
totally
different.
They
don't
have
to
align
in
any
way
whatsoever
and
that
gets
complicated
when
you're
doing
voting
precincts,
but
we
do
the
wards
and
the
park
districts
totally
separately
now.
Sometimes
that's
not
popular
with
some
some
park
district
commissioners
would
prefer
to
be
aligned
with
certain
council
members,
but
we
can't
take
that
into
account.
Okay,
so.
D
Overlaid,
okay,
totally
different,
and
if
you
overlaid
park
district
on
wards,
you'd
find
in
some
cases
a
district
wait.
I
should
go
back
and
check
that
it's
possible
for
this
park
district
to
totally
contain
a
ward,
but
it's
not
likely.
No,
it
is
likely
park.
District
2
will
totally
con
include
five,
but
it's
not
there's
still
bits
and
pieces
that
get
shaved
off.
So
the
the
argument
we
hear
from
the
park
district
commissioner
sometimes,
but
I'm
going
to
have
to
deal
with
multiple
council
members.
Oh
the
horror
that
that's
the
way
politics
works.
D
A
D
Well,
the
good
news
is
this:
for,
for
people
who've
ever
been
active
in
politics.
The
good
news
is
the
state
has
absolutely
nothing
to
say
about
it
unless
there's
a
court
case
challenging
the
map
and
it
goes
to
the
courts,
but
the
state
government
legislature,
the
executive,
there's
nothing
in
it.
State
statute
and
the
charter
govern
the
process
completely.
The
next
step
after
we
approve
a
map
both
of
them
the
park
district
and
the
boards
is
now
they
go
to
the
city
clerk's
office.
D
Who
has
the
unfortunate
task
of
figuring
out
the
precincts
because,
as
you
know,
obviously
some
of
you
probably
have
been
election
judges.
You
know
you
get
one,
commissioner
and
one
city
council,
member
in
your
precinct.
You
don't
get
the
vote
for
two,
so
all
those
precincts
have
to
be
drawn
in
a
way
that
takes
those
odd
lines,
including
the
state
lines.
That's
for
representatives,
senators
well,
federal's,
not
an
issue
in
minneapolis.
D
As
you
know,
we
have
one
federal
person,
but
for
the
others,
the
states,
those
precincts
have
to
be
drawn
in
a
way
that
make
sure
there's
one
person
for
each
office
in
there
and
it
gets
complicated,
sometimes
very
complicated.
So
I'm
glad
it's
not
my
job,
but
that's
after
that,
then
it
comes
back
for
final.
It
doesn't.
It
isn't
approved
by
the
city.
Council
comes
back
for
final
approval
by
the
charter
commission.
D
If
somebody
was
unhappy,
they
can
certainly
file
a
lawsuit
with
the
district
court
and
I
believe
that
happened
not
last
time.
10
years
ago
we
were
good
to
go.
I
think,
20
years
ago
there
was
a
lawsuit
and
it
went
to
district
court
and
it.
Finally,
I
think
it
settled
in
favor
of
whoever
drew
the
minneapolis
maps,
but
last
time
it
wasn't
a
problem.
This
time
it
would
be
difficult
to
see
how
it
would
be
a
problem,
because
the
process
is
so
incredibly
open.
I
mean
people
can
watch
every
step,
that's
taken.
D
There
are
no
map
drawing
meetings
being
held
in
private,
like
they
were
before
they
are
all
out
in
the
open
in
public,
and
you
can
hear
the
discussions
about
why
lines
are
being
moved
and,
frankly,
this
time
it's
very
data
driven.
We
have
a
young
man,
he's
a
bio
statistics.
Graduate
student,
I
believe,
and
he's
been
doing
a
lot
of
them
proposing
a
lot
of
the
maps
and
he
is
the
most
data-driven
person.
I've
ever
seen
he's
pretty
fun
to
watch
him
in
action
when
he's
talking
about.
C
F
D
Listen
to
people,
but
he's
literally
looking
at.
Does
this
block
look
like
statistically
other
sets
of
boxes?
It's
community,
it's
of
interest,
but
it's
done
on
a
different
way.
So
so
then,
after
that
we're
good
the
elections
are
going
to
be
held.
You
know
we
have
city
council
elections
in
two
years
this
time
because
of
the
state
law
that
came
into
effect
a
number
of
years
ago.
The
mayor
won't
be
up
in
those
two
years.
D
A
Yeah,
thank
you,
jen
yeah
important
to
note.
You
know
as
you're
talking
to
community
my
committee
members,
that
it
is
only
a
two-year
council
cycle
and
then
they
will
be
up
for
re-election.
However,
the
mayor
will
not
be
right
and
it'll
be
another
two
years
where
they'll
all
be
as
jan
mentioned
back
on
track
so
and
it
can
change,
the
redistricting
can
change
what
that
two-year
election
would
look
like
and
who
would
be
eligible
to
run
and
to
run
for
which
geographic
area
which
ward
so
right.
D
One
thing
I
should
mention
talking
about
the
election
cycle:
just
a
few
anybody's
interested.
There
is
a
proposal
that
came
to
the
charter
commission
to
put
the
city
on
even-numbered
years,
take
them
off
the
odd
number
year
elections
and
put
them
on
either
even
number
of
years
with
the
state
elections
or
the
federal
elections.
None
of
that's
been
they
they
just
said
even
years.
D
I
think
the
and
there's
actually
a
committee
meeting
going
to
be
held
next
week.
If
you
want
to
listen
to
they
get
kind
of
boring,
but
why
that
is
why
somebody
wants
to
do
that
with
pros
and
cons.
I
think
mostly
what
I'm
hearing
it's,
because
people
really
want
to
more
turnout
in
the
city
elections.
D
I
used
to
be
on
the
school
board
in
bloomington
years
decades
ago,
and
we
switched
our
elections
while
I
was
on
the
board
and
part
of
it
was
to
get
a
larger
voter
turnout,
and
that
may
be
one
of
course
it's
comp
it'll
be
complicated
because,
as
you
know,
then
you
would
have
the
rank
choice.
Folks,
here
from
the
city
and
the
non-ranked
choice
folks
over
here
for
the
whatever
the
state
or
other
elections
were
so
I
don't
know
where
it'll
go.
But
if
it's
something
that
interests
you
you
might
want
to
check
it
out.
G
Or
not?
Okay,
I
just
unmuted
myself.
My
name
is
peggy.
I
I
I
had
been
interested
in
the
committee
on
aging
and
it
took
me
a
while
to
get
logged
in
so
I
didn't
have
time
to
wait
for
the
team's
app
to
load
which
takes
like
10
minutes
yeah,
but
I
I
live
on
the
north
side.
I
lived
on
south
side
for
many
many
years
and
I've
been
following
the
redistricting
stuff
very,
very,
very
carefully.
G
A
Thoughts,
ideas
concerns
all
of
that
on
their
email
or
the
map
drawing
or,
however,
you
feel
com
most
comfortable
with
participating
so
and
as
you're
talking
to
your
community
networks.
Please
definitely
share
with
them.
You
know
the
opportunities
to
weigh
in
not
only
just
with
the
public
hearing
but
throughout
the
whole
process
until
its
final
stages
so
and-
and
one
last
mention
so
these
this
advisory
committee
is
made
up
of
nine
people
from
the
community.
A
D
Yep
no
you're
right
and
the
charter
commission
does
outweigh
the
advisor
group.
There's
15
charter
commissioners,
there's
only
nine
advisory
group.
It's
hard
to
imagine
that
a
final
map
would
get
to
the
charter
commission
that
they
had
a
majority
of
them.
Hadn't
appreciated
comfortable
with
yeah.
So
and
right
and
frankly,
if
you
listen
to
the
mapping
meetings,
there's
people
are
very
collegial.
It's
definitely
people
now.
Sometimes
people
have
odd
thoughts,
but
that's
okay.
You
know
something
is
more
important
to
one
person
than
to
another.
D
D
D
A
For
sure
we'll
do
if
there's
no
further
questions
for
jan
you're,
more
than
welcome
to
stay
on,
because
we've
got
a
little
bit
more
business
to
conduct.
We
have
to
approve
our
minutes,
but
I
I
wanted
to
be
respectful,
and
I
also
knew
that
I
believe
beth
has
to
hop
off
pretty
quick,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there
was
as
much
participation
in
this
particular
conversation
as
possible.
A
You
have
to
forgive
me,
I'm
just
getting
over
laryngitis.
So
if
I
sound
weird
that's
why?
But
if
there's
no
more
questions,
I
think
we
can
move
on
to.
I
had
announcements
just
so
we
can
kind
of
have
the
flexibility
to
bring
different
components
of
our
conversation
up
for
folks
who
want
to
talk
about
certain
things.
I
know
we
talked
about
the
letter
with
trellis
there's
a
few
other
things.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
like
appointments
and
our
new
council
members
that
are
seated
and
things
like
that.
A
B
A
A
Some
of
you
have
ended
your
last
term,
but
the
way
our
our
creation
language,
our
committee
creation
language,
is
what
we
call
it
and
our
bylaws
are
written,
we're
able
to
stay
on
until
we
find
a
replacement.
I
know
we've
I've
asked
and
leaned
on
folks
to
also
actively
recruit
folks.
We
have
a
lot
of
empty
seats.
A
Majority
of
them
are
in
a
lot
of
our
new
council
members
awards,
so
I
will
be
figuring
out
how
to
connect
and
talk
to
the
city
council
about
the
work
that
we
all
do
our
aging
action
plan.
I
have
a
meeting
to
finalize
the
report
finally
next
week,
so
I'll
be
really
excited
to
get
that
engagement
report
out
to
you
all,
so
you
can
share
firewire
and
put
it
on
our
website,
but
yeah.
F
F
A
And
and
to
flow's
point
definitely
we
there's
a
lot
of
change
over
within
the
city,
not
only
just
our
council,
but
with
our
department,
leadership
and
stuff.
So
I'm
going
to
be
sitting
down
with
my
management
to
talk
about
like
what
that
looks
like
with
the
work
that
our
committee
is
going
to
be
undertaking,
I
know
next
month
I
want
to
launch
into
the
actual
action
plan
and
the
recommendations,
so
I'm
really
excited
to
get
this
report
finalized.
A
I
did
take
a
very
different
approach,
this
time
to
on
how
we
engaged
our
elders,
I
specifically
focused
on
our
our
bipac
and
lgbtqai
plus
communities,
so
there
will
be
recommendations
that
are
specific
to
each
community
that
may
not
transfer
over
like
across
city-wide,
but
they're
also
definitely
themes
and
and
concerns
and
issues
that
came
up
across
all
of
our
aging
committees.
Spark
communities
so
we'll,
hopefully
we'll
that'll,
be
our
agendas
to
dive
into
what
that
process
looks
like
what
this
committee's
role
is.
With
that
I
know
some
of
you.
G
A
I
always
recommend
the
card
there,
that's
kind
of
being
worked
out.
My
understanding,
I
do
know
places
that
have
been
actually
requiring
proof
of
vaccination
even
before
the
and
or
72
hour
negative
cova
tests
well
before
the
the
actual
mandates
were
in
place
and
those
places
did
accept
visual
proof.
The
important
thing
is
to
have
your
id,
because
you
know
anybody
can
show
a
picture
of
a
vaccination
card,
but
it
needs
to
match
your
identification
right.
So
if
you
I
wish,
I
could
give
you
a
better
answer.
F
A
A
Department
state
health
department's
app-
I
actually
have
it
it's
wonderful.
It
makes
it
a
lot
easier
than
scrolling
through
6
000
photos
of
puppies
and
grandbabies
and
stuff
to
find
your
to
find
your
vaccination.
So
yep
you're
welcome
and
it's
very,
very
easy
to
use.
You
give
very
little
information.
They've
got
you,
I
mean
it
is
government,
you
know
so.
They've
got
you
down.
A
Is
there
any
other
announcements?
One
announcement
that
I
will
make
is
our
community
connections
conference
has
been
pushed
to
may
21st,
so
I
will
be
sending
out
save
the
date
this
year
we
are
working
on
actually
elevating
elder
voices
in
our
theme,
so
yeah
I'll
again
I'll
be
having
conversations
with
this
community
on
what
that
looks
like
for
us
and
our
role
in
the
community
connections
conference.
As
of
now,
it
is
in
person
with
some.
You
know
of
course,
requirements.
A
I
don't
know
if
the
vaccination
requirement
will
still
be
in
place
as
a,
but
we
are
definitely
planning
on
that
now,
as
well
as
masks
the
mask
requirement
to
attend,
it
will
be
a
little
bit
of
a
hybrid
event.
This
year,
the
exhibit
hall
and
the
lunch
will
be
in
person.
But
like
our
opening
keynote
and
our
closing
ceremony
as
well
as
some
of
our
breakout
sessions
listening
sessions,
those
will
be
live
streamed,
so
you
will
have
the
ability
to
participate
that
way.
A
A
A
Thank
you
yeah,
and
I
will
send
that
all
out
to
you
as
well,
so
you
can
send
it
out
too,
because
right
now
shortly
the
exhibit
registration
for
exhibit
hall
is
going
to
be
opening
up.
So
if
you
could
share
that
far
and
wide,
that
would
be
wonderful
with
your
networks
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
be
talking
with
trellis.
Not.
A
I
think
I
am
going
to
be
talking
to
trellis
next
week
as
being
a
community
partner
like
a
sponsor
in
collaboration
with
us,
so
so
we're
definitely
working
on
what
that
looks
like
for
our
community's
elders
and
how
to
elevate
their
voices.
We've
already
talked
to
a
couple
groups
for
our
immigrant
refugee
community
elders
to
celebrate
them,
and
what
that
looks
like
and
because
may
is,
may
is
a
lot.
It's
older
adults
month,
it's
latino
heritage.
A
I
I
don't
know
if
it's
latino
heritage
month,
of
course
it's
cinco
de
mayo,
it's
american
indian
month,
which
is
different
than
the
october
one.
Like
me,
it's
just
everything
maze
me
is
like
the
month
to
have
everything:
it's
probably
national
pizza
month
right.
So
so
we
thought
we
would
just
kind
of
grab
on
to
that
and
the
theme
of
our
conference
this
year
is
forward
together.
C
A
A
H
H
A
Okay,
yeah
and
I
got
it
I
gotta
I
gotta,
make
sure
I
understand
the
protocol
for
open
meeting
law.
Oh
okay,
I'll
reach
out
to
staff
before
I
do
that:
okay,
because
we're
not
a
quorum.
If
there's
only
the
three
of
us
like
you
and
angelica
right
right,
that's
not
a
quorum!
So
I'm
not
sure
that
we
need
to
publicly
notice,
but
I'll
I'll
make
sure.
Oh,
my
gosh,
okay.
A
Do
that
yep
that
sounds
excellent?
Okay,
okay,
we
got
a
plan
all
right.
Well,
it's
two
o'clock.
If
there's
nothing
else,
we
can
have
angelique
adjourn
our
meeting
and
we
got
a
half
hour
back
of
our
lives.
I
actually
have
a
meeting
that
I
was
like
I'm
going
to
be
super
late.
Sorry,
I
don't
want
to
be
disruptive
and
now
I'll
be
able
to
go
to
that
meeting
without
being
well
I'll,
be
disruptive,
no
matter
what,
but.
B
A
B
And
I
would
like
to
thank
melinda
for
taking
the
initiative
to
write
the
letter
and
send
the
letter
out
and
it
just
seemed
like
for
me
december
was
just
kind
of
a
flurry.
A
blur
was
not
present
for
december,
so
resetting
coming
back
and
and
revisiting
that
and
recommitting
to
the
letter.
So
thank
you
melinda,
because
it's
really
been
melinda
who
has
taken
the
initiative
to
move
it
forward,
but
I
will
be
with
there
with
you
in
the
meetings
to
come
or
what's
next
to
come.
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
angelique
yeah
yeah
and
thank
you
all.
I
think
our
meetings
are
fun
like
I
would
rather
watch
and
hang
out
in
one
of
our
meetings
and
some
boring,
like
you
know,
taxation
or
something
who
knows
right.
We
talk
about
the
real
goods.
We
talk
about
the
real
stuff,
that's
right
so,
and
I'm
working
with
nick
to
figure
out
how
we
have
a
conversation
with
our
advisory
committee
on
people
with
disabilities,
like
what
their
work
is.
