Thank

I

Commissioners,

May
I
please

a
motion
to
adjust,
adopt
the
agenda.
A
Okay,

spine
and
stagnanty.
So
we
have
a
proper
motion
before
us
by
commissioner
fine
and
seconded
by
commissioner
sunyani.
Is
there
any
discussion
before
the
clerk
calls
the
role.
B
I
B

J
D
B
G
K
A
Sorry,
I'm

I'll
ask
the
clerk

yeah
the
agenda
is
adopted.
Thank
you.
Next

acceptance
of
minutes
from
the
december
20th
meeting
from
2021..
A
A
Okay,
seeing
none,
I
will
ask
the
clerk

call
the
roll
on
the
motion.

B
A
A
Thank
you
that
motion
passes
and
the
minutes
are
accepted
as
presented
so
item
four
on
the
agenda.
For
this
evening
we
have
an
update
from
the
commission
on
the
commission
appointments
from
the
civil
rights
department.
This
will
be
give
this
presentation
will
be
given
by
kayla,
so
I'll
invite
kayla
to
give
that
report.
M
Thank
you
so
much
jeremy
hi
commissioners,
I'm
good
to
see
you
all,
even
in
this
virtual
space.
This
is
going
to
be
a
fairly
brief
presentation.
I
just
wanted
to
touch
base
regarding
the
new
appointments
we
sent
out
a
general
email
to
all
of
the
commissioners
a
couple
weeks
ago,
giving
you
a
bit
of
a
breakdown
of
what
to
expect
timing
wise
due
to
a
new
clerk's
office
rule.
M
We
can't
appoint
anyone
outside
of
the
traditional
cycles,
which
unfortunately
means
that
we
have
to
wait
for
the
spring
cycle
to
fill
our
open
civil
rights
commission
seats.
Thankfully
that's
not
too
far
off.
Actually
so
the
recruitment
will
open
on
march
18th
and
go
through
april
15th,
and
we
were
originally
hoping
that
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
have
new
commissioners
ready
for
a
may
meeting
if
we
moved
the
the
meeting
a
week
later,
but
realized
that
the
date
we
were
hoping
for
is
actually
memorial
day.
M
So
we
won't
have
a
meeting
on
that
date,
so
we
likely
won't
have
new
appointment
folks
ready
to
go
until
the
june
commission
meeting.
M
We
do
really
want
to
actively
engage
current
commissioners
in
outreach
for
that
that
recruitment
cycle,
so
there
will
be
a
presentation
from
staff
from
our
office
of
administration
and
policy
within
the
civil
rights
department
that
will
come
next
month
to
talk
about
outreach
and
how
current
commissioners
can
engage
with
the
department
to
ensure
we
get
a
good
number
of
applications
from
folks.
That
would
be
great
additions
to
the
civil
rights
commission.
M
We'll
also
consider
all
of
the
applications
that
were
previously
submitted
so
like
for
our
folks
that
are
looking
to
be
reappointed.
You
don't
need
to
submit
a
new
application
during
this
cycle
or
anything
we
have
yours
from
the
previous
cycle
and
we
will
definitely
be
considering
those
just
as
we
would
at
that
time
really
big.
Thank
you
to
the
folks
that
are
willing
to
stay
on
into
the
spring
here
who
were
planning
to
maybe
be
done
with
the
commission
at
the
end
of
2021.
I
really
appreciate
it
and
we
are.
M
The
department
is
planning
to
jump
right
in
as
normal
with
the
commission
on
working
on
new
projects
and
initiatives,
even
though
we're
still
waiting
on
new
appointments.
So
I
think
we
have
some
fairly
exciting
things
coming
up
here
that
you'll
hear
more
about,
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
on
your
radar
that
we
do
have
a
few
public
hearings
that
need
to
happen
this
year.
M
So
we're
going
to
do
some
training
on
that
fairly
soon
and
get
those
start
getting
those
scheduled
and
get
folks
on
panels
ready
to
review
those
cases
we'll
continue
working
together
on
outreach
efforts,
especially
as
it's
getting
nicer
and
things
are
getting
back
to
being
somewhat
in
person.
Again,
it's
seeming
like
at
least
for
the
moment.
We
have
a
new
payment
system
that
is
ready
to
be
introduced
fairly
soon.
Here
that
will
make
commission
payments.
M
I
hope
a
lot
more
streamlined
and
easy
for
you
all
to
to
request
and
receive,
and
then
I
do.
The
department
definitely
would
like
to
jump
right
back
into
review
panel
cases
as
well,
so
we'd
like
to
start
that
this
month,
so
I'm
excited
to
work
with
our
officers
to
get
those
scheduled
and
off
and
running.
You
all
had
a
banner
year
last
year,
which
we
really
appreciate,
and
we
want
to
keep
up
the
momentum
with
that.
I'm
open
to
any
questions,
but
that
was
all
I
was
planning
to
cover.
A
Today,
thank
you
kayla
for
that
report.
I
do
see
a
few
questions
in
I
don't
know
who
came,
who
went
first
but
mark's.
Commissioner
sunyani's
name
is
up
first.
H
All
right
kill
it.
You
had
mentioned
earlier
in
another
meeting
that
we're
going
to
be
some
doing
a
little
more.
You
know
hands-on
said
there
were
actually
going
to
be
actual
hearings
this
year
coming
up
here.
Do
you
want
to
give
a
little
flavor
on
that
as
well
as
that
you
know
to
be
to
be
discovered
later.
M
So
yeah,
I
can
provide
a
little
bit
more
information.
We
have
approximately
three
cases
that
should
go
to
public
hearings
sometime
this
year,
the
sooner
the
better,
but
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
logistics,
around
scheduling
and
requirements
and
we're
going
to
be
back
in
the
office
in
the
civil
rights
department
in
the
next
few
weeks
and
a
lot
of
that's
going
to
be
easier
to
do
in
person.
M
But
yes,
I'm
planning
to
you
know,
potentially
at
the
march
meeting
for
sure
by
the
april
meeting,
have
a
full
kind
of
whole
training
for
the
whole
commission
and
then
maybe
some
additional
training
specifically
for
the
attorneys,
because
those
who
are
the
people
that
actually
will
serve
on
the
public
hearing
panels
but
yeah
it
should
be
fairly
exciting.
So,
as
long
as
everything
goes
to
plan,
these
would
be
public
hearings.
M
That
would
you
know,
as
the
title
suggests,
be
open
to
the
public,
but
be
before
a
panel
of
three
attorney
commissioners,
and
these
are
cases
where
we've
found
probable
cause,
but
where
the
parties
have
not
settled
in
conciliation,
so
then
the
next
step
is
to
go
to
a
public
hearing.
So
I
can
provide
more
detail
about
kind
of
what
that
means
and
what
to
expect.
If
you
are
one
of
the
folks,
that's
going
to
participate
as
a
decision
maker
in
those
cases.
L
Hi
thanks
for
the
information,
I
have
a
question:
that's
probably
more
properly
directed
to
andrea
naf
of
the
city
attorney's
office,
but
then
I
also
have
some
other
questions
for
kayla
so
later
on
in
our
agenda
today,
we're
supposed
to
be
electing
our
executive
team
for
the
commission
for
the
year,
presumably-
and
my
question-
that's
a
question
of
a
legal
nature
is
who
is
eligible
for
those
positions,
because
we
have
apparently
some
commissioners
whose
term
expired
at
the
end
of
2021,
who
didn't
reapply
but
have
agreed
to
stay
on
until
it
looks
like
june,
according
to
the
proposed
agenda
and
then,
as
best
I
understand
there
are
at
least
two
of
us
whose
terms
expired
at
the
end
of
2021,
but
they
reapplied
and
are
still
awaiting
a
decision
with
respect
to
that.
L
Are
you
know,
I
don't
know
how
many
total
commissioners
that
affects
it's
two
plus
some
number
is
my
guess:
should
those
people
be
eligible
for
any
of
those
executive
positions
and
if
so,
what's
the
rationale,
because
they
may
not
be
on
the
commission
starting
in
june?
So
that's
that's
my
question
to
andrea
in
terms
of
eligibility
for
those
positions,
and
that
raises
my
questions
or
concerns
for
kayla.
L
We
were
not
told
about
this
pilot
program
with
the
pcoc.
We
were
not
told
that
the
department
was
going
to
hold
off
on
interviewing
and
selecting
new
commissioners
to
recommend
to
the
city
council.
We
were
not
told
any
of
this.
While
the
the
pilot
plan
was
in
place,
we
were
simply
told.
Oh,
we
didn't
get
enough
applications,
we're
just
going
to
extend
the
deadline
and
we
were
told
that
repeatedly
we're
just
extending
the
deadline.
L
We
were
never
told
that
no
we're
actually
not
going
to
fill
those
seats
until
june
of
2022
and
I'm
really
sort
of
disappointed
in
the
lack
of
transparency,
the
lack
of
good
community
lines
of
communication
between
the
department
and
the
commission,
and
I'm
also
really
concerned
that
this
is
going
to
set
a
precedent
that
the
department
feels
it's
no
longer
bound
to
fill
vacancy
it's
at
the
end
of
every
year,
as
it
is
bound
to
do
that
it
could
just
decide.
Well,
we
kind
of
like
the
way
the
commission
is
now
we
don't
want
to.
L
You
know
we
don't
want
to
change
things
up.
You
know,
maybe
we're
just
not
satisfied
with
the
people
who
have
applied.
It
seems
to
me
very
important
that
the
department
fulfill
its
role
in
interviewing
and
recommending
candidates
to
fill
the
seats
on
the
commission
and
that
the
department
hand
off
those
recommendations
to
the
city
council.
L
So
the
city
council
and
the
mayor
can
do
their
job
under
the
ordinance
of
filling
the
seats
in
the
commission
and
to
let
to
let
the
commission
sort
of
sit
in
this
sort
of
vague
middle
ground
is
not
doing
a
service
to
the
commission
because
we
need
to
have
a
unified
team
at
the
start
of
the
year
and
we
do
not.
We
didn't
even
have
a
meeting
last
month,
so
I
think
it's
really
disruptive
to
the
commission
and
I'm
really
sort
of
disappointed
at
the
lack
of
transparency.
So
I
guess
my
question
for
you
kayla's.
L
Why
weren't
we
told
about
this
pilot
project
and
about
these
intentions
early
on
in
the
process
in
october
november
of
last
year.
Why
were
we
simply
just
told
oh
we're
trying
to
get
more
applications
we'll
be
moving
forward
on
it,
and
and
that's
not
what
happened
so
that
that's
my
question
for
you
kayla.
While
we
await
news
from
andrea
as
well
thanks.
M
Sure-
and
I
appreciate
all
those
comments
and
definitely
that
it's
not
ideal
that
we're
having
to
wait
until
may
or
june
to
have
new
folks.
There
was
definitely
no
intent
to
be
less
than
transparent
along
the
way
we
really
didn't
have
enough
applicants
and
that's
why
we
kept
extend
expanding
the
deadline
or
extending
the
deadline
was
because
we
just
weren't
getting
enough
folks.
The
original
idea
was
that,
yes,
we
would
work
together
with
the
pcoc
and
as
a
department
go
through
the
whole
appointment
process
as
a
whole.
M
That
I
mean
I
don't
know
exactly
when
that
decision
was
made,
but
it
was
around
the
time
that
we
were
considering.
You
know
how
we
were
going
to
handle
this
without
having
enough
applicants.
M
The
the
when
I
explained,
I
think
it
was
in
our
december
meeting
that
we
were
working
together
as
a
department
to
do
that.
That
really
was
the
time
that
that
had
officially
been
decided,
and
we
were
moving
towards
hey
we're
really
going
to
do
this
together.
We're
really
going
to
do
the
timeline
together,
so
it
certainly
wasn't
any
attempt
to
keep
any
information
from
the
commission.
M
This
change,
where
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
appoint
people
until
may
or
june,
is
a
fairly
new
thing
based
on
a
clerk's
office
rule.
So
we
were
planning
to
interview
people
originally
in
january
and
then
potentially
pushing
it
out
to
february,
and
then
we
heard
from
the
clerk's
office
that
we
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
appoint
anyone
out
of
cycle,
and
so
that's
why
we
had
to
push
it
to
may
so
that
was
our
attempt.
M
You
know
I
tried
in
the
december
meeting
to
provide
some
context
as
to
what
was
happening
at
that
point.
That
has
since
changed
kind
of
the
whole
context,
and
so
as
soon
as
we
figured
out
that
that
was
in
fact
the
case.
M
We
sent
that
general
email
out
to
all
the
commissioners
and
that's
why
I
wanted
to
be
here
today
to
answer
any
questions
provide
any
clarification,
but
I
completely
agree
that
is
absolutely
not
ideal
that
we're
having
to
wait
until
later
in
the
spring,
to
appoint
folks
and
that's
why
the
department
hopes
to
continue
to
engage
with
the
commission.
You
know
proactively
and
productively
between
now
and
then
so
that
it
doesn't
slow
down
the
momentum.
You
know
as
much
as
possible.
It
doesn't
slow
down
the
momentum
to
not
have
new
folks.
M
So
definitely
our
apologies,
that
that
didn't
come
together
as
scheduled
and
we'll
do
our
best
to
make
sure
it
doesn't
happen
in
the
future.
L
Yeah,
I
just
had
a
point
of
information
for
the
other
commissioners
who
maybe
haven't
been
on
the
commission
as
long
there
is
precedent
for
the
department
recommending
to
the
city
council
or
the
relevant
committee
on
the
city
council
an
incomplete
slate,
so
there
was
a
year
where
I
was
up
for
sort
of
re-appointment
to
the
commission
and
the
department
recommended
some
people
and
then
recommended
that
some
seats
be
left
blank
to
be
filled
later
on.
L
You
know
through
another
cycle
of
appointments,
interviews,
etc,
and
so
I'm
also
puzzled
as
to
why
the
department
didn't
at
least
fill
some
of
the
seats,
because
that
has
happened
before,
rather
than
just
just
doing
nothing
sitting
idle.
While
you
know
certain
people,
people
did
apply
could
have
been
interviewed.
The
department
could
have
made
some
assessment
about
some
of
those
people
at
least
and
elected.
L
Not
to
so
I
I'm
you
know,
sort
of
point
of
mission
information,
as
I
said
for
the
other
commissioners,
but
I'm
also
wondering
kayla
why
the
department
didn't
at
least
fill
some
of
those
seats
were
all
of
the
people
who
applied
not
adequate
just
looking
on
paper.
You
know
why
didn't
the
interview
process
even
get
started.
M
So
absolutely
not.
It
was
not
an
indication
of
being
unhappy
with
the
current
applicants
or
anything
like
that.
There
was
a
concern
about
there,
just
not
being
enough
applicants
to
necessarily
fill
the
seats
and
certainly
not
enough
applicants
to
have
there
be
really
much
of
any
choice
as
to
who
would
fill
the
seats,
and
so
that
was
the
idea
behind
not
jumping
right
into
the
process,
but
certainly
nothing
about
feeling
that
the
current
applicants
were
inadequate
to
serve
on
the
commission
and
I'll
just
note.
I
understand
that
that's
happened
previously.
M
It
was
before
my
time.
So
as
I've
worked
on
these
appointment
processes,
we've
always
done
everybody
together
and
then
filled
all
the
seats.
So
we
were
worried.
We
couldn't
do
that
because
we
didn't
have
enough
applicants.
So
that's
why
we
were
initially
waiting
and
then,
as
I
explained,
there's
been
some
evolution
of
rules
around
all
of
this,
which
has
delayed
us
further.
N
Yes,
ma'am,
it's
cindy
devdash.
How
are
you
doing
today?
Thank
you.
I
I
hear
just
to
piggyback
off
commissioner
burquest
questions.
I
hear
the
term
enough.
There
wasn't
enough
people
applying.
N
I
would
like
to
know
what
that
definition
is
of
enough,
because
I
personally
referred
a
few
people
and
I'm
being
told
after
me
contacting
them
to
see.
You
know
how
it's
going
in
the
process
that
they
never
heard
back
or
you
know
they
just
basically
let
it
go
because
they
got
tired
of
waiting
and
then
also.
N
Since
we're
waiting
to
june-
and
I
I
I
don't
think-
miss
neve
got
a
chance
to
respond
in
terms
of
amy's
questions
in
terms
of
the
legal
obligations
of
people
leaving
people
coming,
do
we
have
to
re-vote
in
june
or
because
we're
not
giving
the
new
members
an
opportunity
to
be
a
true
part
of
the
commission.
N
O
Sure,
chairman
commissioner
burquist
and
other
commissioners
who
ask
questions,
I
hopped
on
just
to
answer
the
the
technical
piece
of
this.
From
a
perspective
simply
of
applying
the
rules
of
the
commission,
the
ordinance
does
provide
that
members
shall
continue
to
serve
until
their
successors
have
been
appointed.
O
O
Logistically,
the
the
officers
who
are
appointed
or
who
are
elected
during
elections
this
year
will
continue
to
serve
in
those
positions
until
the
end
of
the
year,
unless
they
no
longer
are
members
of
the
commission,
in
which
case
that
seat
would
open
up
and
that
that
office
would
be
replaced
through
a
new
election.
But
new
elections
wouldn't
happen
in
june,
just
because
there
were
new
commissioners.
O
M
And
commissioner
devinish,
I
realized
I
didn't
answer
your
first
question
either.
So
the
as
I
had
sent
out
in
that
proposal
or
draft
proposal
for
how
we're
moving
forward.
M
So
we
had
received
nine
applications
for
the
for
the
new
seats
for
2022
and
I
believe
I'd
have
to
take
a
look
at
it
again,
but
I
think
we
either
had
nine
open
seats
or
we
might
have
even
had
10,
and
so
we
really
didn't
have
like
a
numerical
number
that
felt
large
enough
for
two
reasons:
one
we
might
not
have
even
had
enough
to
fill
all
the
open
seats
and
then
two
we
wouldn't
have
had
anyone
to
choose
from
right.
M
So
there
you
know
say
somebody
wasn't
a
great
candidate
for
whatever
reason
we
really
wouldn't
have
any
ability
to
move
on
to
someone
else.
Unless
we
wanted
to
do
something
like
leave
seats
vacant,
which
is
not
something
that
I
had
considered
in
this
process.
M
It
is
I'm
not
necessarily
contesting
that
that's
happened
in
the
past,
but
it
isn't
something
that
I've
ever
done
in
this
process
or
you
know
even
considered
doing
so
again,
certainly
not
a
reflection
on
the
people
that
did
apply
and
their
applications
excuse
me
remain
active
and
we
will
absolutely
consider
them
as
we
come
up
on
this
new
appointment
cycle.
So
I'm
glad
that
they
applied
definitely
no
no
reflection
on
them
and
their
quality
or
ability
to
serve
on
the
commission
whatsoever.
A
Thank
you
kayla,
commissioner
copia.
E
E
You
know
this,
I'm
just
realizing
that
this
is
gonna,
create
an
additional
burden
on
the
people
who
are
on
the
commission
to
do
these
panels
in
the
next
six
months.
Like
I
just
guess,
I
never
thought
of
that,
but
we're
going
to
be
doing
more
than
we
thought
we
were
going
to
two
is:
let's
see
the
the
the?
I
guess
my
only
real
question
or
I
guess
question
comments.
E
Is
you
know
these
are
three-year
terms,
and
yet
we
keep
filling
these
one
or
two-year
partial
terms,
and
I'm
wondering
if
that
is
an
ordinance
or
if
that's
something
we
could
maybe
stop
doing
so
that
we
can
just
appoint
people
to
three-year
terms
up
front
three.
Is
we
seem
to
lose
about
a
quarter
to
a
fifth
of
the
commission
every
year?
E
Just
since
I've
been
on
the
commission-
and
I
know
that
our
our
handbook
or
whatever
talks
about
appointing
people
throughout
the
year,
but
you
know
that's
never
really
happened,
and
I
wonder
if
we
should
make
more
of
an
effort
to
do
that.
My
fourth
point
is,
I
think
you
know,
I
would
suggest
that
we
we
to
get
around
the
fact
that
the
new
people
won't
get
a
vote.
You
know
to
commissioner
devinish's
point.
I
think
we
as
whoever
ends
up
as
the
executive
board.
E
I
would
ask
them
to
commit
to
dissolving
the
executive
board
in
june
so
that
the
new
commissioners
can
elect
someone
new,
because
that's
within
our
powers
as
well,
even
if
it's
the
same
people
who
end
up
serving
the
last
six
months
and
then
the
fifth
question
is
outside
of
this
clerk
stuff.
Like
I
don't
know
what
this
clerk
rule
is
it
doesn't.
E
I
have
no
idea
what
like
how
that
impacts
us
or
where
that
comes
from,
but
it's
my
understanding
that
the
city
council
could
appoint
or
the
mayor
could
appoint
people
to
fill
these
positions
regardless
of
what
the
department
or
the
clerk's
office
does.
So
would
it
be
worth
it
for
us
to
go
to
the
city
council,
our
city,
council,
members
and
our
mayor
and
say:
hey
like
this
isn't
getting
done,
and
this
is
a
huge
problem.
M
M
O
Yes,
thank
you.
I
did
raise
my
hand
because
the
question
posed
about
filling
the
one
in
two-year
terms
does
raise
a
legal
question.
One
of
the
reasons
that
that
occurs
is
because
of
the
the
structure
of
the
ordinance
that
provides
for
the
appointment
of
the
commissioners.
It
does
intentionally
provide
for
these
staggered
terms
where
certain
terms
begin
one
year
and
certain
terms
begin
the
next
year
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
It
is
in
141.20
b
if
you
care
to
read
it,
but
I
I
don't
suggest
it
because
it's
clear
as
mud.
O
What
it
does
is
essentially
is
create,
creates
a
staggered
term
system
where,
if
someone
does
not
complete
their
term,
their
successor
has
to
be
appointed
only
for
the
remaining
time
available,
and
so
the
departments,
all
these
one
and
two-year
terms,
are
really
quite
unavoidable.
I'm
afraid
I
apologize
if
I
just
created
more
lack
of
clarity
with
that
long
answer,
the
upshot
is.
M
And
I
can
make
one
comment
as
to
the
clerk's
office
rule
and
the
potential
of
contacting
elected
officials.
Of
course
the
commissioners
can,
you
know,
take
whatever
action
that
they
would
like.
I
will
say
that
this
came
directly
from
the
city
clerk
casey
carl,
who
runs
all
of
the
appointments
for
all
of
the
boards
and
commissions
across
the
whole
city,
so
that
is
who
is
telling
us?
We
can't
appoint
anyone
until
the
spring
cycle.
A
Okay,
I
did
have
a
question,
but
I
think
commissioner
cobia
really
touched
that
with
like
the
idea
to
absolve.
Maybe
we
can
like
after
we
do
elections.
Could
we
have
a
motion
to
create
that
rule
depending
on
what
the
outcome
of
the
election
is
to
absolve
or
maybe
not
that
will
come
not
depending,
but
regardless
to
absolve
in
june?
To
allow
for
new
commissioners
to
have
a
vote?
M
O
I
I
I
would
agree
with
kayla
that
the
rules
don't
provide
for
anyone
to
require
officers
to
remove
themselves,
but
all
four
officers
could
choose
to
do
so
and
that
would
trigger
a
new
election
of
all
four.
A
O
P
I
mean
I
understand
that
someone
could
step
down
or
resign.
I
guess
I
would
just
make
the
comment
that
it
seems
like
it
would
be
very
disruptive
and
not
necessarily
helpful
in
the
spirit
of
getting
things
accomplished
because
of
just
the
time
it
takes
to
kind
of
ramp
up
on
an
initiative,
and
you
know
work
with
others.
It
doesn't
seem
very
productive
to
be
replacing
officers
after
just
a
few
months.
A
We
can
move
on
to
that.
So
next
is
the
election
of
the
civil
rights
commission
officers
or
sorry.
Seeing
no
further
questions.
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
file
and
receive
that
report.
Please
in
the
next
on
the
agenda,
we
have
the
election
of
the
civil
rights
commission
officers
chair
vice
chair
secretary
and
treasurer,
in
accordance
with
the
commission's
election
procedures.
This
office
is
for
on
an
unexpired
one-year
term.
Nominations
can
be
made
by
any
commissioner
present
at
the
meeting
and
do
not
require
a
second
after
dominations.
A
Are
closed
candidates
will
be
given
a
maximum
of
three
minutes
to
speak
to
why
they
would
like
to
be
considered
for
the
position.
After
all,
candidates
have
completed
their
after
all.
Candidates
have
completed
their
speeches.
A
question
and
answer
period
by
commissioners
will
be
held
for
a
maximum
time
limit
of
five
minutes.
The
q
a
period
shall
involve
all
candidates,
including
concluding
with
a
vote
in
the
order
the
candidates
were
nominated.
A
A
Okay,
and
so
I
will
open
the
floor
for
nominations,
are
there
any
nominations
for
the
position
of
chair
we'll
begin
with.
H
P
This
is
commissioner,
lord.
I
need
to
demure
the
nomination,
but
I
do
appreciate
it.
A
Okay,
seeing
no
other
nominations:
the
nomination
period
is
now
closed.
C
Yes,
my
phone.
J
A
So
it
says
next,
each
next
each
candidate
will
be
recognized
in
order
to
speak
for
a
period
of
two
minutes.
A
So
I
will
say
thank
you,
everyone
for
thank
you
for
the
few
seconds
that
I
got
on
the
nomination
to
be
chair
again.
I
really
I
do
look
forward
to
a
new
year
with
us
and
a
new
set
of
commissions,
and
maybe
some
I
don't
know
if
we
have
the
power
to
change
any
of
the
statute
that
miss
andrea
mentioned
earlier,
with,
like
the
statute
that
just
determines
whether
or
not
commissioners
are
on
for
one
year
or
if
they
can.
You
know
start
a
new
term.
A
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
that's
changeable,
but
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
see
what
other
rules
that
we
can
improve
through
the
betterment
of
the
commission.
I
know
last
year
we
did
some
changes
around
absences
to
help
find
some
clarity
and
things.
So
I
look
forward
to
things
like
that
as
well,
but
also
really
looking
forward
to
new
commissioners
and
just
finding
some
more
energy.
I
know
we
have
some
things
going
on
around
housing
and
then
you
know
we
want
to
maintain
that
with
the
work
group.
A
So
hopefully
we
have
other
commissioners
present
today
that
are
interested
in
getting
involved
in
some
more
of
that
work
and
then
also
just
excited
for
the
process
to
come
for
the
subcommittees
and
what
we
can
do
moving
forward.
I
am
not
sure,
if
we'll
be
doing
new
subcommittee,
so
I'll
have
to
ask
kayla
that
but
yeah
so
I'll
open
the
floor
for
q
a
if
anyone
has
any
questions
for
me,
but
I
will
I'll
accept
the
nominations
yeah,
commissioner
burquest.
L
I'm
just
wondering
this
will
be
a
question
for
all
of
the
candidates
for
all
of
the
positions.
What
your
response
is
to
the
proposal
that
commissioner
cobia
floated
about
everyone
stepping
down
from
their
positions
and
to
give
the
new
commissioners
a
chance
to
vote
in
june,
presumably.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
question
because
I
wanted
to
talk
about
that.
But
then
I
was
like
I
wasn't
sure
so,
just
based
off
of
comments
that
happened,
and
so
I
was
like
gonna
leave
it
open.
But
as
far
as
that,
I
really
with
this
being
the
rule
that
we
have
to
follow.
I'm
really.
I
would
look
forward
to
seeing
any
new
commissioners
that
might
have
interest
in
joining
our
team
and
really
finding
that
new
eyes
and
new
energy
for
the
commission.
A
So
I
would
be
open
to
agreeing
to
step
down
when
new
commissioners
are
present
so
that
we
can
do
a
a
vote.
That
would
be
fair
for
all
the
commissioners
that
will
be
on
the
commission
that
at
that
time,
thanks,
commissioner
request.
A
Okay,
so
see
no
other
questions.
We
will
proceed
to
the
election
of
the
commission
chair.
A
majority
vote
is
required
to
elect
an
officer.
M
A
G
Thank
you.
I
am
one
of
the
commissioners
that
has
agreed
to
stay
on
during
this
time.
C
C
A
Absolutely
thanks,
commissioner
shepard,
I
think
as
chair
just
starting
this
new
year.
One
thing
that
I
was
really
excited
by
was
all
of
the
work
that
some
of
our
commissioners
were
doing
on
the
subcommittees.
Well,
all
of
our
commissioners
were
doing
on
the
subcommittees
and
very
specifically
just
like
community
engagement
and
research
in
their
subcommittee
and
so
really
figuring
out
how
we
can
get
more
of
our
commissioners
actually
involved
in
some
of
that
that
really
the
work
that
we're
all
committed
to
doing
in
the
commission.
A
I
think
really
all
centers,
that
community
engagement
right
like
kayla,
asked
us.
How
can
we
get
more
commissioners?
It
really
takes
all
of
us,
so
you
know
that's
something
that
kayla
and
I
spoke
about
last
year
too.
A
Was
you
know,
and,
and
you
know
we
were
hoping
that
we
could
be
in
person
more
and
things
and
and
weren't
able
to
as
much
but
with
as
far
as
outreach
for
our
commissioners
to
knowing
we
had
new
recruitment
that
we
needed
to
do,
and
so
just
I
think,
getting
more
of
our
commissioners
involved
in
that
community
aspect
to
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
and
just
having.
I
think,
a
little
bit
more.
A
A
I
know
there
was
a
lot
of
meetings
scheduled
last
year
where
we
were
able
to
meet
with
folks
from
the
city
looking
at
data
looking
at
preventing
crime
and
things
as
such,
so
I'll
continue
to
support
each
of
the
commissioners
and
in
their
goals,
as
well
as
we
reach
to
schedule
meetings
and
get
people
on
our
schedule
and
continue
to
just
really
promote
what
civil
rights
looks
like
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
A
E
I
D
B
D
B
Yes
is
commissioner
davis,
there.
A
Thank
you
so
that
motion
passes
and
myself
chair
may
will
continue
to
be
the
elected
chair.
So
thank
you,
everybody
for
thank
you
for
that.
I
look
forward
to
it.
A
And
so
now
I
will
open
the
floor
for
nominations
in
the
position
of
the
vice
chair.
Do
we
have
any
common
nominations.
K
A
Okay,
so
seeing
the
nomination
period
is
now
closed.
I
hope
that
was
enough
time
for
everybody.
Next,
each
candidate
will
be
recognized
in
order
to
speak
for
a
period
of
two
minutes,
and
I
will
now
open
the
floor
for
brief.
Oh
wait.
A
Sorry
skipped
a
set,
so
I
will
have
commissioner
cobia.
You
can
take
two
minutes
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
your
position
is.
Vice
chair.
E
Cool
thanks
for
the
nominations.
I
appreciate
your
support
and
take
it
as
a
compliment
that
I
haven't
ruined
the
office
of
secretary.
Yet
I
would
say
I
I,
I
think,
there's
a
pretty
big
priority.
It
sounds
like
with
the
scheduling
of
these
panels.
These
open
panels
this
year,
so
you
know
I
I
would
like
to
continue.
E
I
I
see
I
have
seen
my
role
in
the
past
as
being
a
support
of
the
commission
role,
so
that
others
can
take
the
the
out
front
leadership,
positions
and
and
just
being
able
to
try
to
facilitate
what
the
commission
needs
to
do
on
its
own
in
order
to
function
in
the
you
know
in
our
community.
So
I
think
the
vice
chair
is
is
a
strong
role
for
that
supporting
chairman.
E
You
know
I
enjoyed
working
with
chairman
last
year
as
secretary
on
the
executive
board
and
before
that
as
the
head
of
the
the
subcommittee,
and
so
you
know.
I
also
think
that
you
know
I
have
some
ideas
for
streamlining,
how
the
panels
get
distributed
and
how
we
communicate
about
them,
especially
with
attorneys
who
may
have
conflicts
and
just
getting
that
information
out
a
little
quicker
and
managing
it
a
little
more
in
a
focused
way,
and
especially
with,
like
I
said,
these
public
panels.
E
I
also
think
it
would
be
helpful
if
we're
talking
about
you
know,
potentially
changing
or
or
arguing.
I
know
we
have
a
few
things
on
the
menu
for
potentially
changing
or
trying
to
talk
to
the
city
or
or
the
state
about
changing
some
ordinances.
It
may
help
to
have
an
attorney
in
the
vice
chair
position
in
order
to
facilitate
those
conversations
from
you
know
the
attorney
point
of
view
with
the
statutes
and
being
able
to
sort
of
translate
that
stuff
into
into
layman's
terms.
So
I'm
happy
to
serve.
A
Commissioner
demons,
you
may
not
have
two
minutes
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself
and
your
role
as
vice
chair.
If
you
had
that.
N
Good
evening,
everybody
thank
you
for
nominating
appreciate
it.
I'm
excited
about
22.
N
I'm
sorry,
I'm
I'm
sorry,
so
I'm
just
excited
for
the
year
2022,
I'm
hoping
that
with
some
new
energy
we
can
complete
more
work
in
the
community
last
year.
We
did
a
lot
of
work
with
stop
the
gun,
violence
at
resolution
and
proclamation
also
with
the
african-american
family
preservation
act.
I
really
would
like
to
move
forward
in
those
two
key
areas
that
I
helped
lead,
along
with
the
help
of
really.
N
Commissioner
hertz
was
such
a
great
asset,
commissioner
rants
and
a
few
other
just
great
helpers
and
completing
those
tasks.
So
I
thank
everyone
on
this
commission
for
their
great
work
and
I'm
just
excited
to
move
forward
in
our
work
and
community
engagement
and
the
front
lines.
N
Last
year
we
did
the
juneteenth
event
we
had
commissioner
gold
and
a
few
other
commissioners
stopped
by
for
juneteenth.
That
would
like
to
work
on
that
again
separately
and
hopefully
again
have
the
support
from
the
city
of
minneapolis
would
say,
donated
to
and
help
support.
So
thank
you.
We
continue
to
hand
out
face
mask
in
the
community
boots
on
the
ground
meeting
people
where
they
are
when
I
first
started
the
stop.
N
The
gun
violence
act
resolution
I
was
going
to
shiloh
temple
cub
foods
everywhere
in
north
minneapolis,
trying
to
get
people
to
sign
the
the
petition
and
then
it
turned
into
the
resolution.
So
thank
you
again.
Everyone
for
your
ongoing
support.
It's
truly
an
honor
and
I'm
just
excited
for
the
work
that
we
can
do.
G
A
Commissioner
deafness,
so
I
will
now
open
the
floor
for
a
brief
q
a
so
that
commissioners
may
engage
with
the
candidates,
and
I
see
commissioner
bird
request.
That's
our
first
question.
J
E
Yeah,
so
I
suggested
it,
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
just
to
address
what
commissioner
lord
brought
up.
You
know
I
I
we
took
over
halfway
through
last
year.
There
was
some
changes.
I
took
over
a
position
and
I
mean
it:
wasn't
it
wasn't
a
big
transition.
I
think
maybe
chair
might
be
something
that
we
should
consider
not
having
the
chair
step
down,
especially
we
don't
have
other
nominations
but
the
other
positions.
I
don't
see
a
reason
why
it
wouldn't
be
okay
to
do.
N
I
support
the
idea
and
the
reason
in
any
capacity
based
on
a
person's
interaction
and
involvement
with
the
commission.
For
me,
it's
based
on
how
involved
they
are
and
how
passionate
they
are
and
their
vision.
N
If
someone
is
willing
to
accept
the
role
of
chair
and
vice
chair
secretary
treasurer
and
all
that's
duties
and
they're
willing
to
take
on
that
capacity
and
are
able
to
give
their
time
and
devotion
of
that,
I
I
support
that.
I
F
A
L
Yes,
cobiah,
yes,
it
was,
it
was.
It
was
the
way
it
was
called,
was
voting
on
commissioner
kobia's
appointment.
So
yes,
and
yes
for
commissioner
kobia,
it
wasn't
clear
to
me
whether
we
were
supposed
to
vote
for
one
or
the
other
or
whether
we're
just
doing
straight,
the
kobe
vote
and
then
the
debate
vote.
A
So
we
will
be
doing
an
election
of
commissioner
cobia
and
I
think
we
did
this
last
year
too
and
then
nominee
do.
We
need
to
call
the
rule
and
commission
or
miss
andrea.
Would
you
be
able
to
clarify
if
we
would
need
to
if
we
like
how
how
it
works?
We
do
both
and
then
you
just
tally
up
how
many
yay,
for
each
name
or.
O
All
right,
thank
you
chairman.
I
would
recommend
that
you
call
the
role
on
the
nomination
of
commissioner
cobia
and
if
he
obtains
majority
vote
then
would
be
elected.
If
he
did
not
obtain
a
majority
vote,
then
you
would
call
the
roll
on
the
second
nomination,
who
would
presumably
obtain
the
majority
vote.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that.
A
Okay,
so
again,
sorry
we
will
have
the
so
we
have
clerks
already
calling
the
role
commissioner
questions
said
yay
for
commissioner
cobia.
That's
correct.
Thank
you.
R
I
B
C
B
D
B
B
C
K
L
B
Did
commissioner
devinish,
did
you
vote
or
no.
N
No,
I
did
not,
I
don't
you
do
not
have
a
cause.
I
don't
want
to
cause
contention
amongst
the
group,
so
I
will
draw
my
name.
B
A
Okay,
so
we
will
do
the
role
on
the
nomination
of
commissioner
devenish.
L
A
N
A
So
I'll
explain
so,
commissioner:
cobia
has
been
nominated
as
vice
chair
and
he
received
seven
votes
for
I
a
few
no's
and
a
few
abstains,
and
so
now
it
and
that's
why
we
were
asking
if
you
what
was
your
vote
for
him,
but
it
sounded
like.
A
O
I
I'm
not
certain
how
many
commissioners
are
present
tonight,
but
the
election
does
have
to
be
by
a
simple
majority
of
the
commissioners
who
are
present
and
voting.
If
we,
commissioners
who
abstain,
are
not
voting,
so
I
think
we
may
want
to
clarify
it.
Commissioners
who
obstain
have
to
be
removed
from
the
count
of
who's
voting,
and
then
the
majority
has
to
be
calculated
from
that.
O
I'm
not
certain
whether
this
is
entirely
clear
to
all
of
the
commissioners.
Yeah
is
there.
Does
that
make
sense.
L
O
B
yes,
and
then
you
have
seven
votes
for
commissioner
cobia,
so
he
would
then
have
the
majority
well
and.
A
Well,
good
evening,
everyone
because
I
think
she's
just
joining,
but
I
I
don't
know
if
this
can
be
changed,
but
I
guess
I
abstained,
not
knowing
that
it
was
going
to
reduce
our
total
count
and
make
it
more
of
a
majority.
So
I
mean
does
that
matter,
because
I've
made
the
mistake
and
it's
over
with
that's
my
apologies.
O
O
A
Okay,
so
we
couldn't
just
say,
commissioner
folk
and
I
actually
wanted
to
say
no,
instead
of
abstain
because
of
confusion
with
the
rules.
A
Then
we
have
commissioner
herkman
and
commissioner
fine
have
questions
so,
commissioner
hickman
you
want
to.
K
Yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
agree
with
the
general
confusion
and
I
would
suggest
that
and
that
we
do
a
complete
revolt
with
the
new
information
on
the
table.
A
Okay,
so
we
will
try
this
again.
My
apologies,
everybody.
So,
but
again
we
will
plea
clerk.
Please
call
the
role
on
the
nomination
of
commissioner
cobia.
L
Just
as
a
point
of
order,
I
think
we
need
to
vote
on
the
proposal
to
revoke,
to
scrap
the
vote
that
we
just
had
and
then,
if
that
vote
goes
forward,
then
we
would
revoke.
I'm
sorry.
This
is
technical,
but
I
think
that's
kind
of
what
the
city
attorney's
office
said
that
what
andrea
neff
was
saying.
We
have
to
do.
A
D
D
A
Yeah
well,
I
will
state
that
we
shall
do
the
vote
again,
but
is
there
any
concern
about
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
so
we
will
go
forward
with
the
first
nomination,
so
I'll
have
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
role
on
the
nomination
of
commissioner
kobe
up.
Thank
you.
K
I
N
D
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
So
we
are
voting
doing
we.
We
are
redoing
the
vote
for
the
candidate
commissioner
cobia
just
due
to
confusion
about
the
what
the
responsibility.
I
A
Thank
you,
and
so
now
we'll
move
to
the
nomination.
We'll
have
the
clerk
call
the
role
in
the
nomination
for
commissioner
devenish
for
the
role
of
vice
chair.
B
L
L
I
H
I
D
B
I
A
So
with
that
the
motion
passes
and
commissioner
devenish
has
been
elected
as
vice
chair.
Congratulations.
A
Thanks
for
everybody
for
being
patient
with
the
process,
let's
see,
and
so
I
will
open
the
floor
now
for
nominations
of
the
position
of
secretary.
A
All
right
and
commissioner
cobia,
he
made
a
comment
in
the
chat
if
anyone
wants
to
check
it
out,
but
are
there
any
further
nominations
but
saying
none
I'll
close
the
nomination
period
and
next
I'll
just
have
each
candidate
have
their
two
minutes
to
speak,
and
this
will
be
in
the
order
in
which
they
were
not
nominated
so
we'll
have
commissioner
shoemake
go
first,
please.
S
Good
evening,
everyone-
sorry,
my
lighting,
is
kind
of
weird
all
right
secretary
is
not
something
that
I
necessarily
would
love
to
do,
but
I
would
be
happy
to
do
it
for
the
commission.
S
I
enjoyed
the
the
panel
organizing
work
last
year
and
would
love
to
continue
doing
that
and
whatever
capacity
you
guys
would
want
me
to
support
that.
So
I
can
type
fast
I'll
connect
with
jeff
on
what
to
do,
but
I'm
also
open
to
giving
someone
else
a
new
opportunity.
F
Hello,
thank
you
for
the
nomination
as
well.
I
actually
am
contemplating
staying
on,
but
at
this
point
I
had
not.
I
just
recently
bought
a
moving
company
with
my
real
estate
careers.
I've
been
kind
of
busy,
but
I
guess
I
would
be
honored
to
do
such
a
thing
as
well.
F
J
L
And
now
I
get
to
because
I
think
commissioner
schumache
missed
our
whole
discussion,
so
I'll
give
a
little
bit
more
explanation
for
my
question
that
I've
posed
to
every
candidate
so
far,
so
by
way
of
background
and
apologies
to
the
commissioners
for
whom
this
is
already
old
news.
Some
commissioners
who
are
here
today
voting
will
not
be
on
the
commission
come
june
because
the
department
is
going
through
the
process
of
recruiting
and
interviewing
candidates
to
fill
the
positions
that
would
have
been
empty
as
of
the
end
of
2021..
L
So
there
was
a
discussion
about
you
know
what
we're
doing
right
now.
Electing
leadership.
The
the
new
commissioners
who
come
onto
the
commission
in
june
won't
have
had
the
chance
to
play
any
role
in
selecting
that
leadership,
and
some
some
people
express
some
concern
about
the
fairness
of
that.
L
We
we
like
to
encourage
new
commissioners
to
run
for
leadership,
positions
etc,
and
they
would
effectively
be
blocked
from
that
opportunity
based
on
our
actions
here
tonight,
were
it
not
for
a
proposal
by
one
of
the
commissioners
that
the
and
we
sort
of
worked
through
the
logistics
of
this,
that
the
executive
team?
That's
elected
tonight
could
agree
that
they
won't
they.
They
will
step
down
from
their
positions
effective
for
the
june
meeting,
so
that
we
can
have
a
sort
of
a
re-vote.
We
can
re-elect
a
leadership
team.
It
could
be
the
same
leadership.
L
It
could
be
new
leadership
with
the
input
of
the
incoming
commissioners
that
have
not
yet
been
appointed
to
the
commission.
So
and
not,
everyone
is
in
agreement
with
that.
You
know
there's
a
counter
argument
that
there
should
be
some
continuity
throughout
the
course
of
the
year.
It
could
be
disruptive
to
have
new
leadership
in
the
middle
of
the
year.
Maybe
the
chair
shouldn't
be
stepping
down
and
other
positions
could,
but
for
purposes
of
this
discussion,
I
want
to
ask
both
candidates
what
you
think
of
this
proposal.
Like?
L
Would
you
be
willing
to
step
down
from
your
position
in
june
to
allow
in
the
june
meeting
you
could
rerun
but
to
allow
the
new
commissioners
to
have
a
chance
to
have
a
say
in
the
leadership
team
of
the
commission
for
the
remainder
of
the
year?
Sorry,
for
that
very
long-winded
question.
S
I
would
be
happy
to
step
down
if
that's
what
we
came
to
with
consensus,
I
don't
really
have
a
strong
opinion
on
it,
as
you
were
kind
of
laying
out
your
question.
S
I
just
thought
about
my
first
year
as
a
commissioner,
and
I
had
no
idea
who
to
vote,
for
you
know
like
there
was
you're
kind
of
I
feel
like
you're,
pretty
new
and
not
really
knowing
all
the
dynamics
of
everyone,
and
so
I
came
in
and
with
the
leadership
that
was
chosen
like
I
did
not
know
what
I
was
getting
into
with
them,
but
that's
kind
of
just
a
part
of
joining
a
commission,
and
if
you
come
in
halfway
and
there's
already
leadership
there,
I
don't
know,
do
we
need
if
we
have
more
important
things
to
focus
on,
do
we
want
to
spend
time
doing
an
election,
but
I
am
totally
open
to
it.
F
I
actually
I
absolutely
agree
with
that,
being
that
it
was
my
first
year
too,
I
mean
I'd,
be
open
if
that
be
the
case,
but
whatever
works
best
for
the
commission
and
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
commission.
A
E
D
K
R
J
B
A
Thank
you
so,
with
that
motion
passes
and
commissioner
shoemake
has
been
elected
as
secretary,
congratulations.
C
C
Q
Is
there
is
there
apologize,
but
is
there
a
way
to
like
I
just
better
define
like
the
specific
role
of
this
particular
executive
position?
I
think
personally,
I
would.
I
would
be
more
willing
to
maybe
abstain
from
it,
just
knowing
that
there's
other
commissioners
that
are
being
nominated,
that
I
think
are
qualified
for
the
role.
A
Let's
see,
I
was
just
looking
at
an
internal
operating
procedures,
but
I
guess
can
our
last
year's
chair,
I
mean
secretary
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
duties.
Is
that
possible.
J
I
Even
away,
basically,
I
did
almost
nothing
and
part
of
that
was
we
wanted
to
free
up
some
money
based
on
the
stuff
we
get
and
wanted
to
defer
that
back
into
the
pot.
Couldn't
do
it.
I
There
was
a
lot
of
regs
that
have
basically
applied
that
we
couldn't
change
because
they're
from
the
city-
and
one
of
the
things
I
didn't
do
but
should
have
done,
was
drum
up
more
ideas
from
people
to
where
to
put
the
money,
and
that's
where
commissioner
devinish
was
an
all-star
was
coming
up
with
ideas
on
where
to
donate
the
money.
So
I
think
the
the
main
thing
our
treasurer
should
be
doing
this
year
is
identifying
places
to
put
our
money.
I
I
don't
think
we
spent
our
whole
budget
last
year
of
3
000,
some
odd
dollars.
Q
Great-
and
I
think
commissioner
rance
was
also
nominated
for
this
position,
and
I
if
he
is
willing
to
accept
that
nomination,
I
would
just
throw
my
support
behind
him
and
abstain.
A
Okay,
do
we
have
any
other
nominations.
A
So
seeing
none,
I
will
now
close
the
nomination
period
and
ask
each
candidate
to
have
two
minutes
to.
Oh
wait.
No!
Q
No,
I
I
was
abstaining
from
that
yeah.
Okay,.
A
Because
rand
substance
so
you're
like
if
commissioner
rance
doesn't
so
I'm
like
all
right,
so
we
have
for
nominations.
We
have
commissioner
davis,
and
so
commissioner
davis
just
had
a
moment
to
speak,
but
do
you
have
anything
else
that
you
wanted
to
say?
If
not,
I
will
I
have
a
nomination.
Oh
okay.
I
closed
the
period
for
nominations
already,
never
mind.
Sorry,
I
don't
know.
Does
that
is
there
legality
to
that
might
be
in
trouble
for
opening
it.
O
A
Funny,
no
I'm
just
kidding
so
so
we'll
continue
moving
forward
and.
A
If
commissioner
davis
does
want
to
speak
again,
please
let
me
know
otherwise
we'll
open
the
floor
for
q,
a
if
any
commissioners
do
have
q
a
for
the
position
of
treasure.
F
I
haven't
kind
of
the
same
type
of
thing,
so,
whatever
I'd
be
available
to
help,
definitely
so
just
any
questions,
anybody
might
have.
A
E
C
D
K
K
H
A
Great
so
that
motion
passes
and
commissioner
davis
has
davis,
has
been
elected
as
the
treasurer
congratulations,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
commissioners
that
participated
in
the
election
and
congratulations
to
all
the
newly
elected
executive
team.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
throughout
this
year,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
new
business.
Is
there
any
new
business
that
should
come
before
the
commission.
N
R
Yeah
I
just
had
a
new
business
in
regards
to
some
sort
of
remedy
where
we
can
speed
through
the
voting
and
and
maybe
there's
a
way
in
which,
if
we're
voting
on
the
agenda
and
accepting
the
minutes
that
we
can
all
do
it
under
one
vote.
So
we
can
have
more
time
to
to
get
down
to
the
business
at
hand
for
our
for
our
future
meetings
and
moving
forward.
R
A
Thank
you
for
the
recommendations
is
that
are
those
things
that
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
take
into
consideration
when
it
comes
to
the
work
that
we
do
with
the
city
and
working
with
you,
diana
in
the
clerk's
office.
C
O
O
We
could
return
to
a
all
in
favor,
say,
eye
approach
in
an
in-person
format.
In
terms
of
the
order
of
voting.
I
have
no
concerns
or
preferences
about
that,
but
that
would
be
up
to
the
clerk
to
determine
the
proper
method
of
calling
the
role
yeah.
A
A
Sometimes
I
never
know
whose
name's
gonna
get
called
first,
which
isn't
a
problem,
but
it
would
be
nice
to,
if
possible,
probably
easier
for
for
everyone
as
well
to
know
who
we're
doing
roll
call
on
as
well.
B
They
are
alphabetical,
they
have
been
the
last
a
few
meetings
except
for
commissioner
schumache
and
may,
which
were
at
the
end
because
you
were
vice
chair
and
chair
respectively,
but
I
can
put
you
up.
A
I
mean
I've
always
either
been
first
or
last,
so
I
don't
I
don't
mind,
but
I
think
if,
if
you
have
a
structure
that
you're
using
moving
forward,
I
think
that
I
think
that's
been
working.
Possibly,
I
think
so.
I
think
the
last
few
meetings
it
hasn't
been
as
or
seemed
as
random,
but
maybe
it's
just
a
matter
of
when
it
seems
like
that,
because
I've
been
called
first
or
last,
so
it
might
just
startle
folks.
A
But
thanks
for
those
comments,
I
think
we'll
need
more,
like
that,
more
more
things
that
we
can
figure
out
that
you
know
a
lot
of
people
have
questions
and
a
lot
of
discussion
doesn't
get
to
happen,
and
so
it's
nice
when,
when
people
bring
things
up
that
are
on
their
mind,
but
was
there
and
then
there
was
one
more.
L
Is
this
an
appropriate
time
to
discuss
other
new
business
or
are
we
still
on
the
previous
okay?
And
I
do
want
to
note
in
the
agenda?
There
was
also
a
point
that
I
think
we
skipped
over
on
subcommittee
logistics.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
intentional
or
if
we
should
revisit
that
after
we
covered
the
new
business
just
the
agenda,
I'm
looking
at
had
an
item.
Six
subcommittee
logistics.
A
You
know
I'm
looking
at
my
script
and
it
doesn't
so
my
apologies.
I
will
circle
back
to
that
right.
L
But
I
do
have
something
on
new
business
that
I
just
wanted
to
mention.
The
united
states
has
ratified
a
treaty
called
the
international
convention
on
the
elimination
of
all
forms
of
racial
discrimination,
and
because
we've
ratified
that
treaty,
we
go
through
a
periodic
reporting
process
with
the
treaty
body
experts
and
that
reporting
process
is
going
to
happen
in
geneva
this
august.
L
A
A
Okay,
so
seeing
another
no
other
hands
raised,
I
will
circle
back
to
item
six
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
subcommittee
logistics.
C
M
No
problem
yeah,
so
I'm
just
jumping
in.
I
think
we
just
put
this
on
the
agenda
to
address
the
subcommittees
and
whether
they
would
continue
functioning
and
whether
they
would
keep
the
same
membership
and
andrea.
Maybe
you
can
speak
to
if
that's
something
that
mckenzie
can
or
sorry
chairmaid
can
do
as
she
stays
on
his
chair.
She
can
just
assign
subcommittee
membership
rights,
so
we
don't
need
to
vote
on
anything.
M
I
am
almost
positive,
that's
the
case
since
normally
that's
what
the
chair
is
able
to
just
assign
subcommittee
members,
oh
and
andrea's
back
and
her
hand
is
up.
Okay,.
O
I
am
here
I
do
apologize,
I'm
not
sure
my
technology
is
doing
great
tonight.
Yes,
the
chair
does
appoint
the
members
of
the
subcommittees.
O
So
while
the
rules
say
that
the
members
should
express
an
interest
in
their
subcommittees,
we
have
all
done
that,
since
there
are
no
new
members
and
the
chair
could
determine
that
she'll
just
appoint
all
of
the
same
people
to
the
same
committees.
A
Yeah
absolutely
well,
oh
because
I
would
have
to
do
that
at
this
meeting.
I
couldn't
send
like
an
email
after
the
meeting,
because
I
would
either
I
guess
my
first
thought
is
to
keep
things
the
way
they
are.
Unless
anybody
has
any
concern.
I
do
want
to
look
at
the
numbers
to
see
who
is
in
each
of
the
subcommittees.
So
if
I
can
have
time
to
do
that
and
then
just
let
commissioners
know.
M
O
I
I
do
advise
that
that
should
happen
at
a
meeting
group
emails
create
open
meeting
law
concerns
because
it
amounts
to
conducting
business
outside
of
the
public
view,
is.
O
A
Thank
you.
I
thought
you
referring
to
the
email,
okay,
so
well.
Can
I
I'd
like
to
keep
the
commission
subcommittees
the
same,
but
I
do
want
to
know
what
that
membership
looks
like
so
can
I
have
the
chairs?
Just
let
me
know
how
many,
if
you
feel
like
your
commission,
has
the
full
participation.
A
A
Multiple
so
yeah,
commissioner
devenish,
please.
N
So
our
chair
was
chair,
gold
who's,
no
longer
a
part
of
the
commission
and
oh
you're
right.
Yes,
commissioner
folk,
I
guess
stepped
in
as
chair,
it
was
just
her
myself
and
herkman,
but
I
would
like
to
ask
kela
and
the
next
steps
for
bringing
back
to
stop
the
gun.
Violence
act,
a
resolution
and
proclamation.
As
you
know,
the
gun
violence
continues
to
escalate
and
last
we
heard
from
the
mayor
or
the
mayor's
office.
N
Was
that
because
he's
running
for
a
re-election,
that
he
could
not
give
us
another
year
of
stop
the
gun
violence
day.
So
touching
back
on
what
action
we
can
take
for
2022
as
well
as
african-american
preservation
act,
trying
to
move
forward
on
on
those
things.
N
So
I
would
like
to
hear
from
what
what
can
we
do
for
that?
If
you
want
to
set
up
a
private
meeting
to
discuss
that
further,
and
I
want
to
be
sensitive
of
of
people's
time
as
well.
A
Yeah,
that
would
be
great
if
the
two
of
you
would
be
able
to
connect
or
not
even
just
the
two.
I
would
be
happy
to
be
there
as
well,
but
we
can
connect
after
the
meeting
so
that
we
can
just
get
a
few
more
logistics.
Regarding
the
subcommittees,
I
see
commissioner
folk's
hand
is
up
as
well.
Q
A
I
didn't
realize
that
a
new
election
hadn't
occurred
for
the
chair
for
that
and
then
so
I
guess
my
question
is:
I
know
we
just
discussed
this,
but
I'm
like
we're
gonna
be
doing
we're
gonna
be
having
new
commissioners
in
june
and
I
will
be
putting
them
into
sub.
How
is
the
subcommittee,
how
are
we
doing
the
logistics
for
our
new
commissioners
in
june?
So
can
we
keep
the
do?
We
keep
the
committees
as
is,
and
then
we're
going
to
be
forming
new
subcommittees
all
together
with
our
new
commission
in
june.
A
M
So
I
think
chairman
that
would
kind
of
be
up
to
you
at
the
time.
I
think
you
could
assign
new
people
to
the
existing
subcommittees
and
then
the
subcommittees
could
elect
new
chairs.
You
know
kind
of
the
same
way
as
the
executive
committee
for
the
entire
commission,
like
the
chair,
could
choose
to
step
down
at
that
point
so
that
anyone
could
then
run
for
chair
of
the
subcommittee
at
least
that's
how
I
would
picture
it
happening,
and
then
the
other
question
would
be
if
we
had
a
new
chair
at
that
point,
I
suppose
right.
A
P
Yeah
I
I
guess
I
had
a
question
on
what
constitutes
a
subcommittee
just
because
we
had,
in
addition
to
the
kind
of
three
well
established
subcommittees.
We
also
kind
of
put
together
this
housing
equity
task
force,
and
so
I'm
unclear
if
that
would
constitute
kind
of
like
an
existing
subcommittee
to
go
forward.
P
I
still
I
mean
I
would
make
the
case
that
we
have
lots
of
work
to
do
in
that
area
and
interested
in
pursuing
it
and
that
we
should
continue
with
it,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
kind
of
outside
or
inside
the
this
discussion
of
subconsciousness.
A
Well,
I
know
we
created
that
so
that
we
could
continue
to
work
on
that
initiative
through
to
the
new
year,
and
so,
if
we
can
keep
that
as
a
task
force,
I
think,
like
you
said,
there's
a
lot
of
energy
and
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done.
A
I
would
actually
see
miss
andrea's
hand
up,
so
I
will.
O
The
rules
do
speak
to
this
situation.
They
provide
that,
unless
otherwise
specified
by
the
commission,
a
task
force
shall
remain
in
existence
until
it
completes
its
duties,
but
not
for
more
than
one
year.
So
I
don't
believe
you've
had
this
task
force
for
for
very
long
if
it
still
has
duties.
It's
it's
still
here.
P
Okay,
great
yeah,
it's
definitely
not
been
a
year.
It's
been,
I
think
we
created
it
in
the
fall
at
some
point.
So
if
everyone's
cool
with
it,
then
we'll
just
we'll
just
keep
it
keep
going.
Thank
you,
andrea.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that.
So
at
this
time
we
will
be
keeping
the
subcommittees,
as
is
with
that
information,
but
I
do
see.
Oh
sorry,
commissioner,
herkman.
K
Yeah,
I
just
wanted,
to
my
hand,
was
up
when
vice
chair
definition
was
speaking
yeah.
However,
we,
however,
we
do
this.
We
through
the
subcommittees
or
whatever.
I
just
agree
with
her-
that
we've
we've
got
to
be
a
stronger
voice
on
gun,
violence
and
per
what
she
said
about
mayor
fry.
I
had
a
moment
to
speak
with
him
at
d
hill's
funeral
and
I'm
guessing
with
the
recent
four
murders
in
north.
I
think
his
tone
may
change.
K
I
mean
I,
I
don't
know
what
his
campaign
yeah
anywhere
is,
but
I
just
think
that,
regardless
of
what
his
position
is,
we've
got
to
be
a
better
voice
on
that
and
I
would
follow
the
lead
of
vice
chair
definition.
Anything
she
wanted
to
do,
and
as
long
as
I'm
on
here,
I
think
chair
folk
did
a
great
job
and
will
continue
to
lead
us
well
in
our
subcommittee.
A
Absolutely
thank
you,
commissioner
herkman,
and
I
absolutely
love
the
just
reiterating
commissioner
definition's
point,
because
that
is
something
we
were
working
on
a
lot
last
year
and
some
of
our
last
discussions
regarding
gun
violence
really
centered
around.
A
You
know
the
the
task
force
that
we
wanted
to
create
and
pulling
together
a
lot
of
these
partners
that
are
working
on
community
violence,
gun
violence,
prevention,
specifically
even
in
north
minneapolis,
and
it
didn't
seem
like
there
was
a
lot
that
a
lot
of
traction
that
was
going
on
and
not
a
lot
like
there
was
even
you
know,
the
task
force
that
we
talked
about
or
not
task
force,
commission
or
body
of
people
that
were
meeting
regarding
this
topic
that
hadn't
met
in
over
a
year,
and
so,
but
all
the
the
members
of
that
that
minneapolis
body
were
members
of
these
organizations,
people
that
are
working
towards
gun,
violence,
prevention
and
things
as
such.
A
So
how
do
we
light
some
fire
around
some
of
that
work?
But
also
that
was
where
you
know
we
were
trying
to
build
the
task
force
to
really
bring
those
agencies
together
and
see
what
we
can
actually
do
to
really
be
a
united
voice
and
and
stand
against
it.
So
I
I
think
that
that's
something
that
I
I'm
appreciative
that
we
have
a
new
vice
chair
devenish,
who
has
that
as
just
a
very
strong
driven
passion.
R
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
know
when
commissioner
devinish
meets
with
chair
mae.
R
A
But
definitely,
I
think,
that's
something
that
we
could
definitely
talk
about
as
a
commission
and
what
are
some
of
the
creative
ways
that
we
can
move
forward
with
those
two
pieces
of
work
that
were
really
fundamental
last
year.
So
would
really
appreciate
any
of
the
feedback
that
other
commissioners
have
and
knowing
that
just
still
pushing
in
a
direction
to
still
communicate
with
community
partners
and
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
we
can,
like
you
said,
continue
to
to
make
a
impact
and
having
meaningful
conversations.
R
R
A
Okay,
so
do
we
have
any
other
discussion
regarding
the
subcommittee
logistics
before
we.
N
Usually
things
like
this
are
are
supported
in
the
community
engagement,
but
we've
been
doing
things
together
as
a
commission
asking
for
volunteers
on
specific
things
so
moving
forward,
would
we
create,
I
guess,
a
commission,
a
subcommittee
within
a
subcommittee
or
just
continue
to
ask
for
volunteers
from
commissioners
who
want
to
be
involved
in
certain
things
like
the
gun,
violence
act
and
the
african
american
family
preservation
act?
How
how
do
we
want
to
proceed?
A
Yeah
great
question
always
good
questions.
Commissioner
devenish
honestly,
I
think
that
that's
something
that's
been
discussed
quite
often
in
the
last
year
is:
how
do
we
work
within
our
subcommittees?
I
would
really
honestly
I
want
to
defer
to
the
commission,
because
a
lot
of
you
have
been
on
the
commission
for
a
while
and
I'd
love
to
hear
what
has
worked
in
the
past
or
maybe
what
hasn't
worked.
A
But
you
know
we
have
had
some
a
lot
of
success
this
past
year
in
getting
volunteers
to
participate,
whereas
you
know
a
lot
of
the
subcommittees,
I
feel
like
have
had
ownership
over
certain.
You
know
within
like
standards
and
procedures
like
those
folks
are
working
specifically
with
internal
procedures.
So
you
know
it
is
nice
to
have
people
that
are
working
on.
A
You
know
s
p,
to
be
able
to
volunteer
into
some
of
the
other
work
that
we're
doing
in
the
commission
and
it
hasn't
been
a
problem
or
it
hasn't
been
a
problem
last
year.
It
definitely
wasn't
so
I'd
like
to
continue
doing
that.
If
that's
possible,
I
know
making
any
more
subcommittees,
isn't
an
option
nor
it
task
force
has
there's
just
been
so
many
push
so
much
pushback.
Not
that
I
don't
think
it's
important,
because
I
absolutely
do,
but
that's
why.
A
I
think
that
it's
important,
that
we
continue
to
have
these
meetings
regarding
the
gun,
violence
and
then
also
continue
to
do
what
we
set
out
to
do
last
year,
which
was
really
pushing
the
people
that
actually
have
this
power
to
do
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
as
our
elected
officials.
So
I
think
that
that's
the
track
that
we'll
continue
to
take.
A
Thank
you.
Oh
I
see.
There's
a
comment.
Sorry,
oh
thanks,
so
I
will
move
to
item
eight
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
order.
The
next
word
of
business
is
the
acceptance
of
public
comment,
so
I
will
open
the
floor
and
invite
comments
from
the
community.
Each
speaker
will
be
allowed
to
speak
for
two
minutes.
So
with
that,
are
there
any
community
members
still
on
the
line
that
wish
to
address
the
commission.
A
Oh,
I
don't
see
any
more
phone
numbers
on
here.
Okay,
oh
there
is
a
phone
number
was
that
one
of
our
commissioners
ending
in
9-2,
maybe
well,
no
one
has
unmuted
or
raised
their
hand.
Yet
so
with
that,
thank
you,
oh,
and
so
we
will
move
to
the
next
to
the
report
from
the
housing
liquidity
group,
and
so
we'll
just
do
an
update
on
that.
We,
I
did
have
a
first
meeting.
Commissioner
lord,
I
do
see
you
unmuted.
P
Sure
I
can
I
can
provide
a
brief
update
on
that.
Our
team,
our
team,
met
and
reviewed
the
topa.
P
Ordinance
and
had
some
really
good
discussion
around
it.
We
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
kind
of
the
balance
of
resources
that
it
was
going
to
require
with
respect
to
the
benefits.
P
We
talked
a
little
bit
as
well
about
how
that
a
similar
program
is
going
in
washington
dc
because
they
have
a
similar
piece
of
legislation,
and
we
also
talked
about
the
kind
of
the
new
politics
around
it
as
three
out
of
four
city
council
members
who
had
really
been
championing
championing.
P
This
ordinance
were
voted
out
of
office
in
november,
so
you
know
where
we,
where
we
left
it
in
terms
of
action.
Steps
was
trying
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
degree
to
which
this
ordinance
was
still
going
to
be
pursued
as
a
priority
by
the
city
council,
because,
obviously,
if
it's
not
being
pursued,
you
know
we
have
kind
of
limited
ability
to
impact
it.
P
I
had
a
follow-up
meeting
with
emily
koski
who's,
my
council
person
and
she
was
also
trying
to
kind
of
understand
the
kind
of
the
the
degree
of
interest
and
we
actually
kind
of
owe
each
other
another
follow-up
on
that,
because
she
was
going
to
be
meeting
with
the
council
person
ellison
just
a
couple
of
days
after
we
spoke.
So
I
I
haven't
gotten
an
update
from
that
meeting
and
I
think
that
we
also
as
an
action
step.
P
You
know,
wanted
to
connect
with
council
person
allison
if
possible,
because
he's
really
the
remaining
champion
on
the
city
council.
So
we
did
not
in
that
meeting,
come
to
a
firm
kind
of
recommendation
as
to
whether
or
not
that
was
something
we
wanted
to
be
supporting
or
not
and
have
some
outstanding
questions
that
we're
still
trying
to
resolve.
So
I
think
that's.
P
The
best
update
I
have,
I
would
invite
bob
or
a
chair
or
any
of
any
of
the
other
commissioners
who
were
in
that
conversation
to.
P
A
Not
at
this
moment,
I
will
look
forward
to
an
invite
from
diana
for
the
next
meeting.
I
am
very
open,
so
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
have
some
conversations
around
what
I
can
do,
I
know
we
had
some
presentations
that
were
given
to
ourselves.
Commissioner,
lord
and
I
previously,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
like
review
that
again
and
figure
out
how
we
can
support
some
of
that
city
legislation.
A
Is
going
on
and
and
how
we
can,
like
you
said,
leverage
allison,
so
that
would
be
great
and
I
know
we
had.
I
think
it
was
one
meeting
in
was
it
in
january,
so
we
do
have
another
meeting
that
we
need
to
schedule.
Commissioner
devenish
did
you
have
anything.
N
G
N
Maybe,
oh
I'm
sorry,
maybe
in
a
separate
discussion
we
can
talk
about
ways
to
actually
use
our
funds
this
year
because,
as
you
know,
last
year
like
going
back,
we
did
not
use
about
3
000.
So
how
can
we
best
use
that
for
our
community?
How
can
we
best
use
that
for
community
engagement
moving
forward.
A
I
Yeah
this
this
is
crowder
I
on
the
p
on
the
the
p
g
committee.
I
think
we
should
take
a
run
at
maybe
being
able
to
kick
our
money
that
we
receive
back
into
that
budget.
I
know
that
we
ran
into
some
roadblocks
with
that
last
year.
There
may
be
a
way
around
it
this
time
around,
but
I
didn't
claim
that
money.
You
don't
claim
that
money
and
if
we're
getting
on
a
roll
using
our
funds,
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
have
that
stuff
going
back
into
that
pot.
I
P
Absolutely
well,
and-
and
just
like-
I
guess
just
to
throw
this
in
this-
is
commissioner.
Lord
again,
you
know
one
idea.
I
think
it
was
commissioner
fine
who
was
who
had
an
idea
about
you,
know
kind
of
maybe
getting
impact
or
additional
input
from
the
community
and
holding
some
forums
on
housing,
equity,
and
that
might
be
a
great
use
of
of
funds
trying
to
trying
to
support
some
dialogues
around
community.
N
So
I
I
think,
that's
a
question
for
miss
neff.
Can
we
use
funds
to
compensate
community
members
for
attending
community
forums.
O
I
am
here,
commissioner
devanesh.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
I,
my
initial
reaction
to
this
is
that
that
is
probably
not
going
to
be
permitted.
However,
in
order
to
react
more
specifically
to
the
proposal,
I
would
need
more
details
like
what
kind
of
event
we're
talking
about
and
who
we're
compensating
and
in
what
amounts.
Generally
speaking,
there's
not
going
to
be
a
public
purpose
for
payments
directly
to
a
specific
community
member,
because
those
are
not
benefiting
the
community
as
a
whole
they're,
benefiting
primarily
a
single
person,
so.
N
So
I
guess
my
question,
I
guess
I'm
sorry.
My
question
would
be,
for
example,
if
they
completed
like
a
survey
and
if
it's
housing
related,
then
they
answer
questions
relating
to
have
you
experienced
homelessness?
Have
you
faced
an
eviction?
Are
you
below
a
certain
income
and
using
those
that
data
to
support?
Thank
you
for
coming
to
this
forum
to
discuss
your
housing.
You
know
roadblocks
if
you've
that
you've
encountered
and
what
can
we
do
to
overcome
it
and
the
same
with
the
gun?
N
Violence
if
you
have
lost
a
family
member
due
to
gun
violence,
or
if
you
became
injured
due
to
gun
violence.
How
has
that
impacted
your
family
same
with
the
cps
african-american
family
preservation
act?
Have
you
experienced
cps
where
you
are
in
foster
care
to
someone
so
being
specific
in
whatever
community
engagement,
interaction
form
we
choose
to
have
in
inviting
these
people,
and
if
they
answer
these
questions,
then
they
might
get
like
a
ten
dollar.
N
O
O
You
know
in
terms
of
things
like
what
would
be
the
purpose
of
the
the
survey.
What
will
the
information
be
used
for
you
know,
I
think
a
a
more
specific
proposal
would
be
necessary
to
do
a
full
analysis
of
whether
it
would
be.
N
One
more
question:
I'm
sorry,
one
more
question
would
that
the
ria
tool
would
that
be
used
to
help
support
that
decision.
O
Commissioner,
davis
chairman,
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
real
tool
I
believe
you're
referring
to
is
the
racial
equity
impact
analysis.
If
I
I'm
not
misunderstanding
you
that
is
used
when
policies
or
ordinances
are
placed
before
the
city
council
for
approval,
in
order
to
ensure
that
the
impacts
of
the
the
policy
or
ordinance
change-
or
you
know
the
specific
action
being
taken
by
the
city
council
that
that
the
impacts
of
that
decision
have
been
fully
analyzed.
A
O
A
Directed
by
kayla
that
we
actually
were
required
to
do
it
if
we
propose
anything,
I
guess
maybe
that's
what
you
were
referring
to.
O
Yes,
I
I
apologize.
If
I
wasn't
clear:
if
you
bring
a
proposal
before
the
city
council,
then
completing
the
rhea
would
be
required.
A
O
I
would
say
that
the
rhea
is
required
in
certain
circumstances,
including
policies
and
ordinances,
and
perhaps
others
that
I'm
not
recalling
off
the
top
of
my
head.
Those
are
the
obvious
ones.
It
could
be
used
in
other
circumstances,
and
sometimes
is
so
especially
in
an
area
where
the
the
council
members
felt
it
was
particularly
applicable.
They
could
direct
that
one
be
created
and
filed
for
a
specific
item
as
well.
Well,.
A
Definitely,
I
think
anything
that
is
going
to
come
from
the
commission
that
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
decided
by
anybody
else,
should
absolutely
use
that
tool.
So
I
just
appreciate
commissioner,
or
vice
chair
devinish,
for
bringing
that
to
light,
because
that
is
something
that
I
know
overall
we're
trying
to
implement
within
our
commission,
but
because
of
the
the
need
for
it,
but
also
the
efforts
being
made
by
the
city
to
also
implement
that
within
just
standard
decision
making
correct.
So
just
I'll
push
for
that.
A
But
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
if
that
was
just
only
two
reasons
that
those
that
tool
was
being
used
or
if
there
were
or
other.
Commissioner
lord,
can
you
leave
your
hand
up.
P
P
But
I
think
that's
actually
really
interesting
and
if
you
there's
significant
precedent
for
that
in
the
private
sector,
for
paying
for
participation
in
surveys,
focus
groups
and
providing
feedback,
and
I
think,
if
you
think
about
it
more
through
the
lens
of
data
collection-
and
you
know,
purchasing
kind
of
data,
if
you
will
versus
compensating
individuals
that
it
makes,
it
might
make
a
lot
of
sense
and
and
be
a
really
good
way
to
use
dollars.
P
So
I
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
possible
perspective
and
that-
and
that
might
maybe
impact
the
way
you
think
about
that.
So,
but
to
your
point,
we
would
need
a
very
specific
proposal
for
you
to
review,
so
I
will
take
my
hand
down.
Thank
you.
Thank.
P
A
With
the
racial
equity
impact
lens
right,
so
thank
you
for
that
great
discussion.
I
A
I
A
I'm
glad
you
made
it
back,
okay.
Well,
we
are
adjourning
the
meeting
so
following
commissioner
laura's
presentation.
So
with
that
we've
concluded
all
items
on
our
agenda
for
this
meeting
and
I'll
see
everyone
back
here
for
next
month
for
the
march
2021
2022
regular
meeting.
I
would
I
do
encourage
all
of
the
subcommittees.
If
they're,
if
you
don't
have
a
chair
elected
at
the
moment,
I
just
really
encourage
each
of
the
subcommittees
to
schedule.
A
Some
get
a
meeting
on
the
schedule
before
our
next
march
meeting
to
set
some
plans
for
the
next
coming
months,
and
I
will
reach
out
just
to
make
sure
that
that
schedule
does
or
that
you
guys,
if
you're
all
able
to
make
that
connection,
but
seeing
no
further
business
to
come
before
us
and
without
objection.
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you,
everyone
and
have
a
good
night.
